Algae bloom gets blame for fish kill in St. Louis' Carondelet Park
By Bryce Gray St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Bryce Gray
In recent days, the floating bodies of dead fish have littered one of the lakes in St. Louis' Carondelet Park, with city employees working to clean up the die-off's mess.
The fish kill was triggered by an algae bloom that was likely a consequence of hot temperatures, city officials told the Post-Dispatch on Wednesday.
"We had an algae bloom there," said Kim Haegele, St. Louis' park commissioner. "When that happens it's usually triggered by heat, and when that happens it deprives fish of oxygen in the water."
She added that such events are "not uncommon, this time of year" for the city's parks, and for other lakes in the region. The fish that perished in Carondelet Park included carp, some bass and other species, she said.
The city manages the lake along with the Missouri Department of Conservation, which regularly stocks it with fish, Haegele said. She said the fish kill would be discussed with the agency, which could lead to conversations about whether the event was a "freak thing" or if another aerator should be added to one end of the lake.
"(The lakes) kind of reset on their own, but we try to control it with the inputs you see," she said, adding that water sprayed into city ponds has some chlorine in it to combat algae blooms. "We work hand in hand to try and prevent this."
Fish kills could become more common, though.
In Wisconsin lakes, for instance, hotter summers are expected to double fish die-offs by mid-century, and quadruple the events by 2100, according to a study published this week in the science journal Nature Climate Change.
"This study is unveiling another reality of what climate change will look like," said co-author Andrew Rypel, an associate professor of coldwater fish ecology at the University of California at Davis, in an interview with the university.

Looking back: St. Louis and its July heat waves
Look Back: Heat wave of 1936
A family from St. Louis spends a night in rural St. Louis County in July 1936, during a scorching and deadly summer that logged a record 37 days of high temperatures of at least 100. A first wave of heat broke on July 30, but the temperature climbed back to 100 on Aug. 9 and was that hot or worse for another two weeks. Thousands of people fled their stifling brick homes and flats and slept for weeks on the grass in city parks and along quiet country roads. This family tried to find some refuge near Lindbergh Road. The heat of 1936 killed 479 people in the St. Louis area, including 29 children. (Post-Dispatch)

Missed it by that much: Congress short of majority by 1 seat in Rajasthan, 2 in Madhya Pradesh
Vasu Dev Kaushik Posted into Buzz 5 views
The assembly election results for Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh have come in the Congress\'s favour but they aren\'t good enough to sail the grand old party across the half-way mark on its own. In both the states, the Congress has missed the magic number by a whisker. In Rajasthan, the Congress fell short by one seat and in Madhya Pradesh by two seats. It now will have to stitch alliance with other opposition parties like the Bahujan Samaj Party, the Samajwadi Party, CPI(M) and rope in as many Independents as possible. The situation for the BJP is more worrisome in Madhya Pradesh where the party has just managed to go ahead of the seats won by the BJP. Of the 230 seats in the state, the Congress has won 114, while the BJP has 109. The half-way mark or the magic number required to form government is 116. The Congress will now have to gain support of the BSP (which has two seats), the SP (which has one seat) and try to rope in as many of the four Independents that have this time. Besides this, the Congress also faces the tough task of keeping its house in order and prevent its MLAs from deserting it and joining the BJP. The action-packed drama after the Karnataka assembly elections or during the Rajya Sabha election of Congress leader Ahmad Patel is not very old. In both the cases, the Congress had to fight the BJP tooth and nail to guard its MLAs from being lured and poached upon. On the other hand, in Rajasthan, the Congress is in a much more comfortable position. The difference between the seats won by the BJP and the Congress is much wider. The Congress has won 99 of the 199 seats that went to polls. It fell short of one seat to reach the magic figure or the half-way mark. The BJP on the other hand has won 73 seats. In order to form government, the Congress is likely to seek support from the BSP (6 seats), the CPI(M) (2 seats) and other smaller parties. To be in a more reassured position, the Congress will also try to woo the 13 Independents, many of who are rebel Congress leaders. Talks are on between former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and a few Congress rebels, who won as Independents in Rajasthan assembly polls, to support the Congress in government formation, a party leader told news agency PTI. Independent MLAs Mahadev Khandela, Babu Lal Nagar, both former ministers, Kanti Prasad and others are in touch with Gehlot, he said.

Mnuchin, as head of the Treasury, would become a sitting target for criminal charges if he does not comply with demands for Trump's tax returns by the deadline, according to The Daily Beast. The bill would also require other presidential candidates to show their last five years of tax returns in order to run. I don't think these are simple issues.
Trump had told reporters before Mnuchin sent the letter that he "would love to give" the returns, but would not do so while he was under audit, a stand he long has taken. "Those concerns lack merit", Neal said in his letter to IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig.
Democrats argue that IRS code 6103 allows Neal to ask for anyone's personal tax information for committee use, and that such requests are made routinely and handled through the IRS instead of the treasury secretary. No federal statute bars individuals under audit from releasing their tax returns.
"They want to investigate how the IRS audits presidents, but some of the info they requested has nothing to do with that".
If Rettig fails to respond, Neal says that'll be interpreted as denying the request, which could pave the way for a court battle. Neal's request for the returns of a sitting president is unprecedented, and legal experts say its success or failure may depend on a court ruling about the committee's legislative goal for seeking the documents.
"The legal implications of this request could affect protections for all Americans against politically-motivated disclosures of personal tax information, regardless of which party is in power", wrote Mnuchin in his explanation for why the April 10 deadline could not be met.

Q: Classes for LaTeX documentation I wonder which classes are available to typeset LaTeX manuals. Until now I have used ltxdoc. I'm satisfied with its functions but not with its layout/design and it's not really flexible when writing in a language other than English (see  Class/package for German documentation). Furthermore the {verbatim} environment puts to much space after it.
Are there any other classes that can take the place of ltxdoc without causing too much work in adapting my existing .dtx files?
Is there a class that uses listings.sty instead of pure {verbatim}, to get syntax highlighting? I tried
\let\verbatim\relax
\let\endverbatim\relax
\lstnewenvironment{verbatim}{}{}

but this won't work with a DocStrip input like
% Describing text for the following code
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand{\foo}{FOO}
\newcommand{\bar}{BAR}
%    \end{macrocode}
% Some more text.

A: A remark at first: I've no clue in writing packages or even classes …
I could darkly remember, that some months ago Florent Chervet released such a package. After a short research I've found fcltxdoc. The manual belonging to that says:

fcltxdoc provides some facilities to print documentation (.dtx) files. Most of them are further development of commands defined in the undocumented package holtxdoc.

(It also says, that it is "not intended for public use... ...but it may be used – or copied – by the public!")
Searching again: holtxdoc is part of the oberdiek bundle, and the manual tells us

Caution: This package is not intended for public use! …Thus the package does not
  know anything about compatibility. Only my current packages' documentation
  must compile.
Older versions were more interesting, because they contained code to add hyper-
  ref's features to LATEX's doc system, e.g. bookmarks and index links. I separated
  this stuff and made a new package hypdoc.

hypdoc is of course also part of the oberdiek bundle.
Take a look at these packages.
Edit: mbork points to gmdoc. There is also a package gmdoc-enhance, whose documentation is written only in German.
Update:
This answer does not at all intend to be comprehensive, but since last edit three more classes for documentation are published by members of TeX.SE:

*

*The latest release is ncltdoc by Nicola Talbot. No own documentation.

*One of our admins, Martin Scharrer, developed ydoc for his own packages. The documentation is not fully complete. This is in fact a bundle of a class with some packages. These packages also could be used independently of the class.

*Simon "You" Sigurdhsson, inspired by a question here on TeX.SE, created skdoc, heavily based on ydoc. The documentation seems to be complete.
BTW Martin points in the ydoc documentation to some other classes, as well. Not all of them are already mentioned here:

Similar Packages
Other documentation related classes and packages are ltxdoc, doc, dox, xdoc, gmdoc, pauldoc, hypdoc, codedoc, nicetext and tkz-doc.

He also writes about the main reason we can assume, why there are so many different classes for the same task ("the author" = Martin):

All these packages didn't suited the author and therefore he, take a guess, wrote his own documentation package.

A: There is also gmdoc.  I don't remember much about its flexibility (I read its manual quite a time ago), but it works with hyperref to produce clickable indices etc.  Also, given that the author is Polish, it should work in (at least one of) non-English languages (I did use it personally with a class documented in Polish, and it worked fine).

A: Documenting LaTeX sources with the default classes and packages is a bit of a patchwork, as the overall system has four major dependencies doc, docstrip, ltxdoc and article, plus the additional commands that you add in the driver.
Some of the major package authors have put a lot of effort to modify the standard classes the same way we all modify the preambles of the standard classes in our documents. Document classes, packages or extensive modifications that stand out are those of the listings (lstdoc), microtype (docstyle) and biblatex (ltxdockit) packages. For the commonly used classes you can have a look at Koma and memoir dtx files. The LaTeX3  project has also an experimental documentation class (l3doc.dtx), which is aesthetically very pleasing.
But in the end, you will probably want to define your own. This is not as hard as it sounds.  The major issues in the typography of the documentation part normally lie within the "user manual" section. The implementation section is best done in a less colorful way with the only major change, the graying of the numbering.

Have a look at the microtype and LaTeX3 documentation to see how this improves the looks of the code part, especially when the line numbering gets into the thousands.
Now for the user manual part. This is where you need to put effort and anything is possible, down to having micro typography. A number of improvements are possible here. First to get in some form of boxing and to have a method for pretty printing of LaTeX code using listings. In addition depending on the package or class you are developing, running the actual examples automatically can make life easier. A package I would recommend to add is tcolorbox. It provides environments for display boxes, automatically executing the LaTeX code and is very good at displaying keys in the pgf style. In a preamble with a combination of all these, I managed to get this type of output:

The major difficulty I had was to get the hyperref, lstdoc and tcolorbox to be in the right order and load options without generating any clashes. This worked nicely:
\usepackage[pdftex,bookmarks,raiselinks,pageanchor,hyperindex,colorlinks]{hyperref}
\usepackage{lstdoc}
\usepackage[listings,theorems,documentation]{tcolorbox}

As simple as this sounds, plus the addition of microtypography and changing fonts to:
 \usepackage[charter]{mathdesign}
 \def\rmdefault{bch} % not scaled
 \def\ttdefault{blg}

had a marked improvement in the document typography.
The rest of the commands about 200 lines were to reformat the headers and sectioning commands. For microtypography I cut and pasted the relevant code from the microtype package.
If your package is smallish a very good short solution is to do the following:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{a,b,c,d,e} % as required
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{foo.sty}
... Package contents
\end{filecontents*}
\input{foo.sty}
\begin{document}
... User manual
... Code documentation
... \lstinputlisting{foo.sty}
\end{document}

The package is typed within the filecontents environment and saved as foo.sty. You then input it in order to use it. At the main document you just input the code using one of the listings commands of the tcolorbox verbatim input commands. For anything up to a 100-200 code lines this is an excellent method and has the advantage that you are always working though one file. In addition while you developing the package you can test it at the same time while staying within one file. Styling of course will still be your own responsibility, but you will get pretty printing for both the manual as well as the code.
I have some code that I am busy with, if you interested to have a copy just post a comment (it is rather lengthy and I will clean it up and post it on github for you during the weekend). However MWE can be found at Different approach to literate programming for LaTeX.

Si fa no fa, és anàleg al gnom de la literatura europea i al gòblin o el hobgoblin del folklore europeu, si més no en la seva cara més amable; al duende del folklore castellà, al folletto italià, al lutin francès i als occitans gripet, trufandèr, folet i fadet. Dins el mateix territori català, la funció del follet també l'ocupen altres criatures, com ara el cerdet a Alacant, la caterineta, el perot i el donyet o (d)uendo a la zona de València, el dimoni boiet i l'homenet de colzada a Mallorca i Menorca, el fameliar a Eivissa i el minairó al Pirineu. El follet com a criatura entremaliada que fa parar bojos els humans era sobretot pròpia de la Catalunya Vella.

Origen i característiques
Éssers sempre relacionats com a habitants de cases, guarden certa relació amb els lars romans, divinitats menors del panteó romà que protegien la família i la casa, als quals hom feia ofrenes com a agraïment per la protecció dels seus habitants. Això no obstant, amb l'arribada del cristianisme com a religió oficial de l'Imperi Romà el seu culte fou perseguit i s'anaren transformant en l'amalgama de creences del folklore europeu, tot adoptant la forma d'homenets que espanten i que estan amagats a les cases.

La tradició presenta el follet com un homenet petit que viu molts d'anys del qual la gent tenia idees molt confuses entorn de la seva vertadera natura i manera. En general, es considera invisible, i de vegades hom considerava que tenia formes animals. Tenen un caràcter entremaliat, burleta i juganer, i actuen de nit tot fent malifetes com ara fer sorolls pels panys de les portes, aixecar teules, trenar les cues dels animals, tirar terra dins les olles, estirar el tapament del llit, o desordenar coses en general. Per mantenir-lo fora d'una casa, hom la ruixava d'aigua beneïda. Per bé que normalment fa malifetes sense maldat, de vegades és un ésser més malvat que pot matar cap de bestiar i altres destrosses més greus. Al Rosselló hi havia la creença que es podien amagar en els remolins de vent i deixar les noies embarassades després d'alçar-los les faldes.

Amb tot, també tenen un caràcter feiner i són amants de l'orde, i així sovint tornen a deixar les coses tal com havien estat. Així, sovint s'explicava que, per no tenir-los tot el dia fent malifetes, hom podia deixar un grapat de mill fora del seu lloc; el follet, endreçat com és, es passa tota la nit mirant de portar el gra de mill on correspon, però com que té la mà foradada no pot acabar mai la feina. D'aquesta manera estava entretengut i no feia cap malifeta. També es deia que els follets eren treballadors compulsius, i que exigien feina tot dient i repetint: «Què fem? Què fotem?»; si no en rebien, podien arribar a fer mal. Aquestes característiques també són típiques dels dimonis boiets i dels minairons.

Els follets a Mallorca
A Mallorca, la funció del follet (pronunciat fullet) la duu a terme el dimoni boiet i, en menor mesura, l'homenet de colzada. En canvi, el follet és un concepte més abstracte, un esperit diabòlic que certes persones tenen, de vegades de manera abstracta, de vegades físicament, dins un sarró; aquest esperit està al servei de qui el porta i li confereix propietats màgiques especials, entre les quals, principalment, la de poder desaparèixer o no ser pescat mai. Així, l'expressió tenir fullet s'aplica a les coses que desapareixen com per art de màgia (allò que a altres llocs s'hauria atribuït a l'activitat d'un follet canònic). Semblantment, fullar-se és el verb aplicat entre els estudiants per referir-se al fet de no assistir a classe, encara actualment.

Mossèn Alcover, en la seva tasca com a folklorista i recopilador de les rondalles mallorquines, recollí que el fullet era una penyora, sovint un sarró, que el dimoni donava als qui feien un pacte amb ell, penyora que tenia la virtut de fer-lo intangible de tothom: no podia ésser capturat i era capaç de desaparèixer quan volia. En el pacte figurava que l'home podia rescindir el contracte en qualsevol moment i desfer-se de la penyora, i en aquest cas romania lliure del diable; en canvi, si moria abans de poder rescindir el contracte, el dimoni se l'enduia a l'Infern.

Els follets a Eivissa
A Eivissa, on la funció del follet canònic la tenien els fameliars, el follet tenia unes característiques indeterminades semblants a les de Mallorca. A Eivissa deien que el sarró on es porta el follet havia d'ésser de pell de mostel o de gat, amb el pèl a dins. Contaven que qui duia follet, en veure's perseguit o en perill, cridava: «Follet, vine a ajudar! Amic meu, ajuda!»; llavors sortia el follet i el feia desaparèixer de dins les mans dels qui l'havien agafat o dels qui el perseguien. També hi havia la creença vulgar que els qui tenien el poder d'atorgar follets eren els capellans.

Els cerdets
El cerdet és el nom que a Alacant s'utilitza per designar els follets del Principat o els donyets de València. A vegades, el cerdet és un ésser pelut amb dents. Els agrada muntar a cavall i es dediquen a espantar a tot el que travessa un camí solitari.

RGB SCART on N64.
Dreamcast - battery the same as Saturn.

One thing I don't get is why some Atari ST users want to mod the sound on their STs to make them sound more like Amigas. When I queried it on AtariAge, the only response I got was "because you can". I love my ST because of its differences from the Amiga and I prefer the ST's humble Yamaha to all the bombastic sound sampling in Amiga games.
My answer to Laird's question is for Sega to have stuck with the cartridge format for the Saturn. Most of the key titles on the Saturn are small enough for cartridge and they would be a lot more durable for it. As with the N64, there may have been a trade-off in terms of third party support but the Saturn was doomed to lose out to the PS1 anyway.

If we are talking Saturn they should have added backwards compatibility with the Mega Drive. Firstly because it had a cartridge slot anyway, so why not make proper use of It? Secondly it would have given them an enormous user base to work from and made the 32X even more redundant.

I'd think that the big problem with the Mega CD is that it was a flawed concept. With the benefit of hindsight, we know that adding a CD soundtrack and loads of highly compressed video doesn't make many games any better.
Saturn cartridges sound nice in theory, but you'd get similar issues to the N64 where there were substantially higher media costs that neither most publishers or customers were keen to absorb, with the result that a lot of games were cut down to be crammed into smaller cartridges, or simply not ported to the platform at all. There's still a bit of this going on with the Switch, despite optical media being an obvious non-starter on it.
With ST sound, I've got nothing against chip tunes for in-play music. There are some cracking ones for the machine and I think they've often aged better than their mod file equivalents, as the latter often use poor quality and inappropriate samples. That said, you can't beat samples when it comes to effects and although the ST can manage lo-fi playback by driving the YM chip as a DAC, it takes up a lot of CPU cycles that developers can ill afford to give up, especially when they're trying to do something complex like scroll the screen smoothly. So, it really needed sample playback and hardware scrolling; the rest I could live with. If it's got to be just one thing, it'd be the scrolling.

This makes me wonder why Nintendo didn't make the N64 backwards compatible with the SNES. The only stumbling block I can think of is that they would have had to redesign the N64 controller to be more SNES-friendly while the Saturn pad has more or less the same layout as the MD.
Post by Matt_B » Fri Mar 16, 2018 10:38 pm
I don't think the N64 hardware would be sufficiently powerful to emulate the SNES, and the design is so different that none of the chips on board could be re-purposed to act in a compatibility mode either. As such they'd have to include pretty much the entirety of the SNES hardware in there to make it run old games which would significantly add to the price of the console, and the revised single-chip version of the SNES didn't appear until after the N64 had launched. There is, of course, the Tristar 64 which does just that if you're interested though.
It's much the same story with the Saturn. It's slightly better off, in that it's already got a 68000 on board, and would only need the VDP, the Z80, and the two sound chips which had already been combined into a custom ASIC by that point. Mind you, it's a machine with a pretty high chip count already, and Sega were already having to run much tighter margins than their competitors so it would have made for a bold inclusion.

N64 was totally different to SNES in terms of architecture and everything, only common thing they had was the use of cartridge media. NES compatability on SNES would make more sense, but I guess the NES was still a good seller when the SNES was already out. They made the trade-off by making the "Super Game Boy" that ran colour-enhanced GB games on the SNES. A fun fact is that the SNES was too slow to emulate the GB so they actually had to include to original GB hardware inside the cartridge for it to work. "Game Boy Player" for the Cube was similar in it's GBA games support which to me indicates that they always wanted to merge their home console and handheld console, hence the Switch.
The Saturn wouldn't have needed to flop as bad as it did in the West btw, they could've opted for cheaper and more 3D oriented hardware and make better deals with 3rd parties. I've heard SGI almost made a deal with Sega back then, but they declined the offer and they went to Nintendo instead so the Saturn could have nearly ended with N64's hardware inside it. Now combine that with a CD drive and better development tools and you could have your "Model 2 quality" Arcade ports on the Saturn.
Edit: looks like Matt_B beat me to it but the point is valid

I think the MD hardware had been cost reduced enough by this stage to make it more than viable and, like you say, there was already a 68000 in there too.

Atari 8-bit - I would have liked the machine to have had a mode that offered at least 16 selectable colours on screen at any time (not fixed gradients of the same colour). It was bad that a machine with such a huge palette was so limited in the ways it could display these colours without using PMG overlays, vblank interrupts or other tricks. Multi-colour sprites would have been nice too actually.

I'd like to change the VIC 20 to come with a bitmaped graphics mode as standard, which would probably mean more memory as well.

Yeah, it's fundamentally a memory issue. You can do bitmapped graphics on an unexpanded VIC-20 but it leaves you with very little RAM for anything else, and if you want to do it from BASIC you can't use the full screen.
Coming with a full 16K of RAM as standard would have allowed the VIC chip to work to its full potential. However, static RAM was rather expensive at the time and the ethos behind the design was to deliver the cheapest possible computer, so something had to give there.

I recently tried my N64 out on my flatscreen through composite and it was virtually unplayable (Wave Race was an absolute travesty). It really came as a surprise that a console from the mid-late 90s could be as CRT-dependant as an Atari 2600.
Why would you want to do away with the VMU on the Dreamcast (one of the coolest features of the system) for a lithium battery that keeps failing and takes all your game saves with it?

Are you one of those people who always follow the same route to work, every day, for years? I am. Yes, I know it's boring, but it's a habit, it's intuitive, and I can drive without thinking too much about it. And to be honest, while there may be better, faster ways for me to get there, I feel comfortable taking that same route.
What about when you hire a car in a country where you have to drive on the "wrong" ( opposite) side of the road? How do you handle that? To be frank, over time I have gotten used to it, and coming from a left-hand side of the road country, it's more common than not for me when I travel. But that doesn't mean it was easy when I started. The worst time is when you have stopped for gas, and you are pulling out onto the road…hmmm. And, I have only been pulled over twice in the US, which maybe says I am a slow learner. Or rather was it that I'm just not a very good unlearner?
These days we have so much going on in our lives that the unlearning often gets lost along the way. Like how often does a new operating system, or a new version of your favorite software or app drive you spare because you no longer feel comfortable with the new changed interface?
It's all just become part of the letting go and relearning that we are consistently required to do in our lives. So what about the unlearning we have to do in our professional lives?
Let's start by asking just how good an unlearner are you? You see, if we are serious about school change, then we have to be serious about unlearning. And we know one of the biggest challenges facing any organizational change is resistance to new ideas, new concepts, and a new perspective of how to do what we do better.
The "regularities" of that culture—patterns, rules, and procedures that are mostly unseen and assumed—tend to undermine the basic purposes of educating our youth. These regularities are what might be called "ways of doing business in school." They are rarely questioned, but to an alien observer …they seem curious, irrational, and counterproductive to the announced mission of schools.
Among such regularities are the absence of most parents from active participation with the teacher in guiding their child's learning, and the fact that the school building bustles with activity for six hours a day, five days a week, and then is largely abandoned for any academic purpose. These regularities are not immutable "laws of nature," nor are they the result of the careful assessment of the efficacies of practice. They persist because they go unexamined and unchallenged ("But we've always done it that way!"). Only when we uncover such regularities can we decide whether they serve our purposes as educators.
As he says, "that's the way we have always done it!' Well, maybe you shouldn't do it that way anymore?
We seem to take so many of these 'regularities' for granted and in the process fail to challenge their veracity. What is the point of isolating subject domains, grouping students by birth date, and scoring everything that moves, just for starters? And yet, those are the practices we have learned, and that it is what is accepted as standard practice.
In the area of organizational design, we are seeing an evolution from formal hierarchies to fluid networks. But this requires a substantial amount of unlearning. Our instincts are to think of an organization as an org chart. We automatically escalate decisions to the boss. We often hear (people) talk about being "more networked," but what they really mean is collaborating across the silos.
To truly become a networked organization, you need decision principles that create both alignment and autonomy. But this requires unlearning in the areas of management, leadership, and governance.
We operate with mental models that have grown outdated or obsolete, …we have to unlearn the old one. Unlearning is not about forgetting. It's about the ability to choose an alternative mental model or paradigm.
Modern schools today are looking for decision-making that is shared through flatter leadership structures and Guiding Coalitions which are in sharp contrast to traditional school leadership hierarchies. So what unlearning does this require?
Well, it's not a one-way street. In the first instance, it requires principals to let go of legacy mental models of leadership, but it also implies added responsibility for those faculty who will now share in the decision-making across the school. This is in stark contrast to the more compliant role they had as teachers, which they will have to quickly unlearn if they are to be effective in this new position.
On the other hand, it's about leadership that is about being open to new ideas, and being more vulnerable about sharing their thoughts openly with faculty.
So, this is where the big steps need to be taken and have to be sensitive to just how big they are. Big steps in letting go, unlearning, and big steps as we learn, practice, learn and relearn new ways of doing things that we haven't done before; that we aren't familiar with, and which, at first, feel strange and uncomfortable. But that's what it takes.
It's about taking risks, which is only possible when there is a partnership between teacher and leader, where the leaders provide permission and protection, while the teacher reaches outside their zone of comfort and familiarity to find new places and new practice that supports modern learning.
It may be related to shared practice, peer observation or peer feedback, all of which can be challenging to the traditions of the lonely artisan in a classroom, but which today are underpinning some of the most impactful learning environments that teachers are creating.
All of this is a tough ask for many educators because so much of school life is about routine, familiar processes and practices which allow you to become very comfortable with your craft. As an educator, you might ask yourself, how can I be more open about my practice, about my fears about changing my practice or more critically, about fear of not doing it well…of failing? How do I unlearn years of believing that being right matters, rather than doing the "right thing"?
But it's about exposing yourself and who you are as a learning professional, and that is only ever possible within a culture of trust. And the really tough part about all of this? It's unpredictable. It's unpredictable how the kids will react, it's unpredictable how your colleagues will respond, and again most crucially, it's unpredictable how well you will do.
Organizations are "social systems in which people have norms, values, shared beliefs, and paradigms of what is right and what is wrong, what is legitimate and what is not, and how things are done." These "forces for conservatism" support the status quo and discourage both dissent and innovation.
So if we're serious about serious change, we have first to understand and acknowledge these influences and provide support for the necessary shifts in thinking that serious change requires. Unlearning is what helps make such shifts possible.
To be better at unlearning we have to start with awareness. We need to be more conscious of our need to unlearn, and then from that comes the opportunity for practice. Fortunately, there are many times in our daily lives when we can practice unlearning…though maybe not quite as diligently as Destin Sandler does on his "backwards bicycle".
And finally, to keep your learning on track, it's always healthy to seek conversation and dialogue with people whose opinions might be different from your own. Gayle Allen recently released an excellent podcast on this topic in her discussion with Scott Page on the Power of Diverse Teams.
How very right he was. I think it's time I thought about a different route to work.
← Will Skills Save Us?
In one of our PLC studies we read Shaping School Culture and one of the things I strongly remember was how hard it was to change an institutions culture. Culture is made of people and rarely if ever will half of a school staff be replaced in a single or, even a few, years and people are what create and carry the culture.
The school I taught at was less than 10 years old when I began my career nearly 40 years ago. Average tenure was 7 years at the time and is now something like 17. But that culture that started that school, literally out of a marshy spot in a corn field has endured. Fortunately, that culture is one that strives for excellence.
Anyhow, making my point, will it be easier to institute meaningful change as more and more of the baby boomers roll out of education and younger generations with different ideas replace them? Seems like an opportunity that may never come along again!


The reversible solenoids of the High Power Line excel by extremely large forces and stroke travels and their maintenance-free use.
Stroke [mm] 7 - 40 In all solenoid models the solenoid stroke is the line "s" the armature has travelled from stroke starting position to stroke end position. The stroke starting position is the original position of the armature before the stroke movement starts resp. after the reset is finished. The stroke end position is determined by the solenoid design – it is the position the armature takes due to electromagnetic force.
Force [N] 6 - 880 The magnetic forces indicated are reached at 90% of the nominal voltage and in warmed-up condition.
Pull-in time [ms] 85 - 420 The values for the switching times refer to nominal voltage, warmed-up condition and a load with 70% of the magnetic force of the device.
Comment *A female connector with integrated bridge rectifier allows for use with alternating current.
The reversible solenoids of the High Power Line are pot magnets with high performance. They are manufactured with a horizontal characteristic curve. The armature is led on both sides with maintenance-free precision bearings. This results in high resistance to wear, granting consistent solenoid performance throughout a long service life. This type series excels by small dimensions and low power consumption at maximum stroke movement, short switching times and smooth operation.

CSAT SVA and SSP
CSAT Site Security Plan (SSP) Submission Tips
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has reviewed thousands of Site Security Plans (SSPs) and Alternative Security Programs (ASPs) submitted by high-risk chemical facilities under the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) regulation. Based on these reviews, CISA has identified helpful hints to assist with completing your SSP as part of the authorization and approval process.
Consider What Security Measures to Address
Take a holistic approach. Think about the type of security measures your facility requires for its particular security concerns and tier. Generally, your facility's security measures, which address the CFATS Risk-Based Performance Standard (RBPS), will fall within one of the below overarching security objectives:
Detection. This may include considering measures such as the level of monitoring needed for the facility's tier and security concern; taking into account the chemicals of interest (COI) state, packaging type, and mitigation measures in place; and considering whether this includes personnel, closed-circuit television systems or intrusion detection systems (CCTV/IDS), or a combination of both.
Learn more about RBPS 1-7 – Detection and Delay.
Delay. When implementing delay security measures, a facility may consider whether a single layer or multiple layers of barriers are appropriate, if the facility ships or sells COI and what protections are in place for these processes, how the facility maintains access control measures, and the standoff distance for release chemicals.
Response. This includes maintaining a Crisis Management Plan or similar document that includes security response, elevated and imminent threat plans, as well as conducting outreach with local law enforcement or participating in a Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) to increase a facility's preparedness and ensure appropriate response capabilities.
Learn more about RBPS 9 – Response.
Cyber. In addition to physical security measures, identifying and ensuring appropriate cybersecurity measures are critical to a holistic approach, especially if COIs are integrated with any cyber control, physical (CCTV/IDS), or business systems (inventory management).
Learn more about RBPS 8 – Cyber.
Security Management. Measures to support security management include maintaining a Security Awareness Training Program, inspection and maintenance programs, recordkeeping, establishing a security organization, incident reporting and investigations, inventory procedures, and vetting facility personnel and unescorted visitors with access to restricted areas and critical assets.
Learn more about RBPS 10 – Monitoring.
Learn more about RBPS 11 – Training.
Learn more about RBPS 12 – Personnel Surety.
Learn more about RBPS 15-16 – Significant Security Incidents.
Learn more about RBPS 18 - Records.
Detail Current Security Measures
Be as detailed as possible. The text boxes in the Chemical Security Assessment Tool (CSAT) SSP application have been included so that facilities can more fully describe current security measures, including how the measures address the relevant RBPS. The better CISA can conceptualize and understand your approach to security measures, the better it can evaluate whether they meet the applicable RBPSs.
Don't overlook safety and environmental measures already in place that contribute to security. You've invested in them. They may reduce the likelihood of a release or theft of COI, so you should consider including them in your SSP. For example:
Emergency response plans, training drills, and exercises that are applicable regardless of whether a release is accidental or intentional.
Product stewardship, "know-your-customer," and other programs you have for making sure the right materials get to the right customer may also help you identify attempted product diversions.
Process safety layers of protection that not only prevent accidents, but may also create barriers to prevent a terrorist from accessing a COI.
Gas detection systems that would trigger an alarm in response to any release–accidental or intentional.
Describe Planned Security Measures
Describe planned measures the facility has committed to implement. A planned measure section in your security plan can be used to describe security measures that your facility will be implementing but has not implemented at the time the SSP is submitted.
CISA will consider planned measures when evaluating the SSP. During the authorization inspection, the facility should be prepared to provide documentation describing the timetable for implementing planned measures.
Documentation could include evidence that the planned measure is in the process of being installed or implemented, such as detailed designs accompanied by an approved or documented capital budget or preparation for/completed bid process for installation.
Specify Facility-wide or Asset-Specific Measures
Make clear whether a security measure is applied facility-wide or just to a specific asset. CFATS requires that the COI are protected for the security issue and at the appropriate tier as identified in your tiering notification letter from CISA.
As an example, see the figure below that shows the three acceptable strategies for appropriately protecting Tier 1 asset and Tier 4 assets in a single facility.
Secure the entire facility at the Tier 1 level.
Alternatively, the facility could secure the entire facility at a Tier 4 level, but add additional security around the Tier 1 asset to secure it at the higher level.
Another option is for the facility to secure the Tier 1 asset at a Tier 1 level, secure the Tier 4 asset at the Tier 4 level and have limited physical security measures for the facility as a whole.
Overall, most facilities are implementing a mixture of facility-wide and asset-specific measures.
For more information regarding the CFATS program, please contact CFATS@hq.dhs.gov.
For technical assistance with CSAT, please call the CSAT Help Desk at 866-323-2957 Monday through Friday (except federal holidays) from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. (ET).

There have been a couple of threads asking ? figured it was a good time to start an official planning thread. The start date is about 8 weeks away. Who's in?
Seems like this one is the place to talk about planning for on the trail water and the like.
I am going to change the other one to a shuttle planning thread.
Hi Scott--do you have any info on this new connector trail--gps track etc?
The Town of Superior and the ATA invite you to attend the Grand Opening of the Legends of Superior Trail (LOST). This is a new connector trail that provides a route between the Picketpost Trailhead and the town of Superior. The dedication will be this Saturday, February 12th. For all the details, go to this information page.
We should be able to get a track from Laddie Cox he was running the volunteer work up there I'll send him an email.
Can anyone tell me exactly where the water facet is located at in the La Selvilla CC at Colossal Cave Mountain Park??
There are two spigots there, the easy one is on the North (facing the parking lot) side of the big Ramada. The super secret one is right on the side of a rock facing away from but right on the side of the parking lot. As the trail comes into the parking area if you cut across the parking lot and beeline for the Ramada you go right past it. It's some how plumbed right into a rock. The one on the Ramada is way easier to find. I had been there a dozen times before someone pointed out the one in the rock. The Ramada one is easier to use also as it is higher off of the ground. But the rock one is closer so.
Hope that makes sense at least it should when you get there again.
Great for me it's a long ways from Madera Canyon to Los Selvilla so I always need water there. I never have made it to CC in time for food at the Ranch. I have gotten water there from a sink by the restrooms but found it to be a pain plus it's out of the way.
I have a water que sheet ready at least as far as the 300 still needs a little work I sent the first part to Scott already. I think he will post it with the cues at some point. I'll get back on it next week now that we're talking about it I'll get motivated.
There is also some new singletrack trail on the Ripsey Segment, rode it today. Fun stuff. We need to move the route over to Ripsey soon.
Ya it's really too bad that adding Ripsey puts us so far out of the way. I heard that the White Canyon is taking some real blasting and work is going slow. But the plan is still to be done for the Centennial next year.
The little creek above Molino is running again I'll check it again before the race. Rode the Canelo's today with some 300 hopefuls. The water spigot at Cott Tank is still working, 3 years in a row now. I left Parker with 2 liters on my back on 1 with hydration mix on the bike ran out of both right before Cott you gotta love it when a plan comes together.

http://lwcoaching.com/ Mountain bike coaching and training plans.
Cott Tank is 19 miles from Parker TH. At a point where the trail is on a jeep road the road makes a hard right. There is a V gate to get to the old windmill now solar powered water tank. Spigot is on the South side. At that point it's only 12 more miles to Patagonia. It's easy enough to carry enough water to make Patagonia but since it's there I like to go as light as possible in the beginning.
It's not as useful for the bike course though so I am working on one that follows the route the race will take.
the Legends of Superior Trail (LOST). This is a new connector trail that provides a route between the Picketpost Trailhead and the town of Superior.
Laddie has the track but I need to teach the old dog a new trick, how to send a GPX file should have it soon.
Yeah it is a long way from Madera to Colossal Cave. I hit up the water fountain by the bathrooms at Whipple (off route), not thinking water was on at Madera, so I stopped twice just to top off. I had about 5L, which was alot climbing up on the road out of Madera, that's when I saw you Tim about 1/4 way up filtering. I rode into La Sevilla in the dark and knew to look for a spigot in a Ramada. I also went down to the Ranch House and found that little sink by the bathrooms. Only thing down there was a dog barking at me, sort of waste of time and out of the way. Less than 30 minutes later you could be in La Sevilla.
There were some boy scouts camping out in La Sevilla and one of them I saw turning off the water spigot out of the rock, I lucked out.
As you roll onto the parking lot and before you get to the bathrooms, look to your right, that's where the Ramada cover (Shelter) is at and spigot faces the parking lot.
Hoping to be back on the AZT 300 soon, doesn't look like I'll make it for the start date, possible ITT this fall.
Jackson, don't be a douche. We're doing it Spring 2012! You, me and Keith!
Water at Madera, there are two spigots one right by the bathroom and one down by the fee station.
Met a ranger last year and got the beta on the on again off again water there, turns out that the system is old and they don't like to leave it on. So what they do is turn it on to feed a ranch down canyon then it's turned off. What we are getting is just water left in the pipe. So if there is not any the bathroom there might be some at the fee station as it is down hill. There is usually water running in the creek as well or about 1 mile up hill off course at the Whitehouse picnic area there is a fountain there that should work at all times.
I have lots of 'water' questions as I build up my set of profiles. One question is the section from Tucson to Mt Lemmon. Not that big of a deal but I am looking for a better water strategy for this section than what I have done in the past. Any ideas, suggestions?
I'll be sending this to Scott for inclusion along with the cues.
#12. La Sevilla Campground (spigot on rock) 2.3 miles from LPQ Jct.
#22 Beehive Well (big metal tank not good) 19.5 miles north of Tiger mine rd.
#14-17 I didn't pump from Chiva tank last year as there was creek flowing that came first not likely this year. I have pumped from the Lake before a little fishy tasting. West Spring is not that great a lot of the water in the Reddington area is brownish from Tannin. #17 was running again this weekend pretty strong flow about 5 min walk up stream from the trail crossing. I'll check it again before race time. Ultimately I should see about creating a bike version of the ATA water list ie web based with the ability to show how recent they have been used.
Hope the list helps I know it really helped me last year to always travel light knowing where the water sources were and having the guts to not carry too much water weight sure helped. I ran into Jackson out on Reddington he said he had been carrying 6 liters and filling up when ever he could. Man that's a lot of weight nothing wrong with playing it safe but all that weight would be brutal.
#17 was running again this weekend pretty strong flow about 5 min walk up stream from the trail crossing. I'll check it again before race time.
Humm if it's still running this one sounds perfect location wise. So you descend from that steep ridge, park the bike at the stream crossing (just before you cross the paved Catalina/Mt Lemmon Hwy) and just walk up the stream bed about 5 min till you reach the water hole? Does this water source normally lend itself to chem. or UV, or do you want a filter to remove the scummies?
bty thanks for all the info!!
Glad to help it's great to see so many riders showing interest in my favorite trail.
So here's the full beta on the Molino creek. After the trail crosses the creek keep going a few feet until the AZT heads west. At this point there is a social trail heading east mostly rideable until it recrosses the creek. Leave the bike at this point and then walk a couple of more minutes up the creek. I will take the GPS next time and make a waypoint. Last year there was water right above the trail and Mark C used tabs on it. If that is your preferred method it will likely work here as well. This one is in a great spot hopefully it will still be flowing come race day.

The way we use frames at Pylon isn't a strict interpretation of any of these traditions, though. In a Pylon assistant, a frame is a unit of conversation, roughly analogous to a collection of one or more states in a finite state machine. Each state, or node, inside a frame can be thought of as a "system intent", or task the system wishes to accomplish; therefore, each node has one or more prompts (messages delivered in response to a user request) attached to it. These nodes are often linked to each other in a linear fashion, so that if a user says "next", "keep going", "tell me more", etc., the system knows exactly where to go. Frames can be linked to each other in a similar way.
There are simply too many devices, too many roles and too many device makers for any one person to care about making a religious commitment to any one platform.

Oetylus or Oitylos (), also known as Beitylus or Beitylos (Βείτυλος), or Bityla (Βίτυλα), was a town of ancient Laconia on the eastern side of the Messenian Gulf, at the modern settlement of Oitylo.

Pausanias says that it was 80 stadia from Thalamae and 150 from Messa; the latter distance is too great, but there is no doubt of the identity of Oetylus and modern Oitylo; and it appears that Pausanias made a mistake in the names, as the distance between Oetylus and Caenepolis is 150 stadia. Oetylus is mentioned by Homer in the Catalogue of Ships in the Iliad.

During the Roman period it was one of the Eleuthero-Laconian towns. It was still governed by its ephors in the 3rd century AD. Pausanias saw at Oetylus a temple of Sarapis, and a wooden statue of Apollo Carneius in the agora.

Among the modern houses of Oitylo there are remains of Hellenic walls, and in the church a beautiful fluted Ionic column supporting a beam at one end of the aisle, and three or four Ionic capitals in the wall of the church, probably the remains of the temple of Sarapis.

INTERVIEW WITH A CHASER
Added 888 days ago. 27 August 2020
We caught up with former Mastermind champion, and now resident Chaser - The Dark Destroyer himself, Shaun Wallace to find out a bit about life as a Chaser.
Quizzes, for a long time, have been a popular mainstay of daytime and early evening television. Now, due to life under lockdown, they are even more popular as friends and families test each other's knowledge through video calls.
We caught up with former Mastermind chamption, and now resident Chaser - The Dark Destroyer himself, Shaun Wallace - to find out a bit about life as a Chaser, and what it takes to be that good at quizzing.
As a child, Shaun grew up on a steady diet of TV law dramas such as Rumpole of the Bailey and Crown Court,
as well as quiz shows like Mastermind and University Challenge.
"I was fascinated by people using their verbal dexterity to represent people in court, but also how people could use their minds to answer questions under pressure. It taught me that if you really want to achieve something in life, you've got to educate your mind."
To date, Shaun has lived a successful life as both a Barrister, and a professional quizzer. Not only becoming a lawyer, but also being crowned Mastermind Champion in 2004. It was during a slower period in his career that the quizzing fire was really ignited, and the journey to
becoming a Chaser began.
"I'd watch shows like Fifteen to One in the afternoon. But it's all well and goodanswering questions from the comfort of your sofa, I wanted to see how good I really was. It wasn't about the prizes; it was all about the competition."
"As an 11-year old boy I was like Muhammed Ali…'I will be a lawyer, I will be the greatest!'…and if you talk the talk, you've got to walk the walk."
Being crowned Mastermind Champion, just narrowly missing out on joining the Eggheads team – it all led to him being scouted by ITV to become the first ever chaser.
"They invited me to audition for 'an exciting new gameshow concept'. They asked me 30 questions, 28 of which I got correct. So I came out of quiz retirement – and became The Dark Destroyer."
Along with Mark Labbett (The Beast), he completed a 10-part pilot of the show in the old Granada studios in Manchester, and the rest, as they say, is history!
So, what does it take to be a Chaser?
"At least two hours of revision per day. There's no point in practicing things I already know; I keep up with what's current – number one records, news, film releases. It's important that we, as Chasers, know what's going on in the world."
Shaun's persona on the show is that of a ruthless, stern, question answering machine – admitting he's there to answer questions and make sure the contestants leave with nothing.
"I'm not there to smile and laugh, I'm there to win. I leave the funny stuff to Bradley. That said, I'm the only Chaser who visits the contestants afterwards, whether they win or lose. I have a healthy respect for anyone who can stand up in an artificial studio and answer questions under the pressure of bright lights and a timer."
"The whole Chase family work so well together, and I think that really comes through in the final production. Us Chasers have a lot of respect for each other – supporting each other from behind the scenes. Paul (The Sinnerman), is also a professional comedian, so always has a readily available one-liner to make everyone laugh."
With production on hold for the time being, Shaun has switched roles and has been hosting The Chase EXTRA Lockdown quiz on YouTube, temporarily taking on the role of quiz master rather than Chaser.
"I've done lots of lock down quizzes for people around the country, it's an honour to be invited to take part! I prefer to answer the questions, but hosting is fun, too. I like the questions to be as inclusive as possible, so everyone has a chance to take part."
When he isn't answering questions in front of the camera, or representing people in court, Shaun also enjoys writing. Having written his autobiography, 'Chasing the Dream', he is now working on a historical book.
"It's called 'On this Day', and details historical events on each day of the year, one for all 366 days. For example, 10th June 323 BC, Alexander the Great died in Babylon."
On this Day is a work in progress, but you can purchase Chasing the Dream from Amazon.co.uk now. Finally, we asked Shaun if there were any other TV quiz shows he wishes he'd had the opportunity to take part in.
"Who Wants to be a Millionaire, because I'd have definitely won a million quid."

He goes on to describe how, with no knowledge of horses, he was sent four hundred miles from home at 14 years of age to apprentice as a jockey.
By the Light of a Neon Moon offers memories of love found and of love lost. There are verses about line dancing and mechanical bulls, crusty bartenders and jukeboxes whining out two-stepping songs full of pedal-steel guitar.
Rick Campbell's latest collection, Gunshot, Peacock, Dog, reads like an extended elegy for the poet himself, for his lost loved ones, and for the changes in the wider world.

The remembrances of the narrator revolve around sexual awakening, family distance and dissolution—how they crumble to common and inevitable animalism....
The candid poems in Gianna Russo's One House Down are grounded in experiences of ambivalence and oneness, not unlike those we sometimes find in true love. Russo ruminates on the past and scrutinizes the present in her hometown of Tampa with honest affection, concern, anger and delight.

Published: July 2, 2013 2:05 pm Updated: July 2, 2013 2:11 p.m.
The Lone Ranger and Hopalong Cassidy are popular cowboy characters of the Old West. "The Lone Ranger" hits theaters July 3.
The pivotal moment came during an unceremonious wardrobe fitting.
"A bunch of us stood in a room with hundreds of masks. I heard, 'Armie, try this one on. No, try this one on! No, not that one. Your face looks weird in that one. Try this other one,'" Armie Hammer told the Chicago Sun-Times.
Suddenly, the 26-year-old actor became that masked man.
Hammer plays lawman John Reid in "The Lone Ranger," set to be released July 3. In the process, Hammer becomes the latest in a line of masked men to stand for all that was decent and noble in the Old West.
"The most important thing for my character is his inflated sense of justice," Hammer said in the same Chicago Sun-Times article. "My mission is to bring law and order. That's what the original was about, and that's what our film is about at the core."
The Lone Ranger was created for a radio show on a station in Detroit. The first of nearly 3,000 broadcasts took place on Jan. 30, 1933, making famous the words, "A fiery horse with the speed of light, a cloud of dust and a hearty 'Hi-yo, Silver' — the Lone Ranger!"
The character also sparked a TV show, comic books, novels, records, movies and a collection of memorabilia.
Clayton Moore became the first prominent face of the Lone Ranger for 169 episodes of the TV show from 1949-57 and continued making personal appearances as the character in the decades after the show ended.
Before he died in 1999, Moore talked about the importance of the heroes of the Old West, real or otherwise, in an interview with CNN.
Fran Striker is credited with creating the radio show. He came up with "The Lone Ranger Creed," the lawman's code of living. Additionally, the Lone Ranger always used proper, slang-free speech; he shot to disarm, not to kill; and he didn't smoke or drink.
A later film version did not share the same success as its TV and radio counterparts. In 1981, William Fraker directed "The Legend of the Lone Ranger," starring Klinton Spilsbury in the title role and Michael Horse as Tonto. The film flopped, losing more than $11 million.
For "The Lone Ranger" director Gore Verbinski, the 6-foot-5 Hammer was perfect for the role because he seemed to have those old western hero intangibles.
"When I first met him, I just knew he was the guy," Verbinski told ABC News. "He's like this classical leading man.
1. The Lone Ranger fights for what's right in mind, body and spirit.
2. All men are born equal, treat them as such.
3. If in doubt, follow the horse.

February 15, 1995: Idaho Representative Accuses Federal Government of Sending 'Black Helicopters' Filled with 'Armed' Agents to Enforce Endangered Species Act, Threatens Agriculture Department Official

[Source: Joe Marquette / Associated Press]Representative Helen Chenoweth (R-ID), in her first two months as a member of the US House of Representatives, accuses the federal government of sending "black helicopters" filled with "armed agency officials" to terrorize Idaho citizens. Chenoweth, who has extensive contacts among area militias and will be characterized as the militia's "best friend" in Congress (see May 2, 1995), is repeating a canard often used by far-right extremists who believe the UN and the federal government will use "black helicopters" filled with foreign troops to impose tyranny on US citizens. In a press release, Chenoweth says the federal government is violating the Idaho Constitution by using "armed agency officials and helicopters" to enforce the Endangered Species Act and other fish and wildlife regulations. The language of the press release implies that if a federal agent is armed and in Idaho, it is a violation of the Idaho Constitution. Chenoweth orders the government to immediately cease its alleged actions, and in the release, threatens Assistant Agriculture Secretary Jim Lyons by saying, "If it does not, I guarantee you I will be your worst nightmare for at least the next two years." Chenoweth later tells a reporter, who asks about the black helicopters: "I have never seen them. But enough people in my district have become concerned that I can't just ignore it. We do have some proof." Brian Gorman, a spokesman for the National Marine Fisheries Service, says, "All I can say is, we have never had helicopters, have not flown them as part of any endangered-species activity, and we've always worked hand in glove with local officials."
