"I've lived on Crab Creek since I was, like, four," said Thrasher, who said he likes to fish and wants a living shoreline because it won't degrade and is better for the environment.

Edible mushrooms have been grown on logs at the Gwinnett Technical College Horticulture Program's Learning Garden, in Lawrenceville, GA, on Friday, Mar. 20, 2015. All the plants are edible produce, which and allow culinary students to learn the value and quality of farm fresh produce. This will lead to future Farm to Table practices emphasizing the partnership between the two programs. Horticulture students will plan and schedule plantings to meet the needs of upcoming menus and the culinary students will harvest the produce they will prepare that day. USDA photo by Lance Cheung.
The Chesapeake Bay Program's annual Bay Barometer report provides a snapshot of Bay health told through the 10 goals and 31 outcomes of the 2014 Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement. The 2018-2019 Bay Barometer, released in March, covers a timespan when record rainfall led to the highest amount of freshwater flows entering the Bay since monitoring began in 1937. This led to lower salinity levels in parts of the Bay and the largest observed dead zone in the past five years. Despite these challenges, much of the Bay’s underwater life continued to thrive.

The Nature Conservancy hosts a group of roughly 30 visitors for a vernal pool hike at Forest Pools Preserve, adjacent to Kings Gap State Park in Cumberland County, Pa., on March 25, 2016. Because vernal pools, or seasonal wetlands, dry up every year, they don't harbor fish and thus are critical habitat for many amphibian species. (Photo by Will Parson/Chesapeake Bay Program)

This week in 1978, space shuttle Enterprise underwent a Mated Vertical Ground Vibration Test at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center’s Dynamic Test Stand. The test marked the first time all shuttle elements -- an orbiter, external tank and two solid rocket boosters -- were vertically mated. The test verified that the shuttle performed as expected in its launch configuration. The first shuttle mission launched in April 1981, and for the next 30 years the program’s five spacecraft carried people into orbit repeatedly, allowing crew to launch, recover and repair satellites, conduct cutting-edge research and build the largest structure in space, the International Space Station.

What is your best memory of WSSU?
My best memory of WSSU would be Homecoming! All the support, love and positive energy from alumni, students, faculty and staff is amazing! Seeing thousands of people coming together, bring their kids and relatives to brag about how awesome WSSU is priceless. To celebrate this wonderful institution through donations, attendance at athletic events as well as fellowshipping on the yard is phenomenal!
What do you love about WSSU?
The one thing I love about WSSU is the family oriented vibe I receive from not only the faculty and staff, but also from the students? There is not a moment that goes by each and every day where I do not see the genuine vibe and care our students have for one another. Wither it is student leaders encouraging other students to get more involved with student activities or students coming together to walk to the football or basketball games to support athletics or senate meetings, together we act as one.
What do you plan on doing after you graduate?
My plans after graduation are to further my education to receive my masters in the field of education. With this goal I plan to teach at a Title 1 school in the Forsyth County region to help leave a legacy in the community of Winston Salem and embrace my love and the importance of my HBCU.
How has WSSU prepared you for the future?
Being that WSSU is a Liberal Arts Institution is has prepared me with the knowledge and skill set in different content areas where I will be able to use that background knowledge and the fundamental skill set to adapt to any job I come across in the future in life.
How has WSSU made a difference in your life?
WSSU has made a huge difference in my life. Getting involved in different organizations such as Greek Life, Housing and Resident Life and Student Government Association has taught me to believe in myself. Getting involved in campus life has developed my communication and social skills. It has taught me how important your personal brand is and taught me the importance of networking and getting out of my comfort zone. If I did not have individuals at this this institution to push and help motivate me, I would have never revealed my full potential. And for that I am proud to be an alum of the Winston Salem State University!

Information From: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Early_Show
The Early Show is an American television morning news talk show broadcast by CBS from New York City. The program airs from 7 to 9 a.m. Monday through Friday, 8 to 10 a.m. Saturdays in eastern time zones. It airs live on most affiliates in the Eastern Time Zone, but is tape delayed in the remaining time zones. The Early Show features celebrity interviews and light entertainment and news pieces. In some markets, the Saturday version may not air. Having premiered on November 1, 1999, it is the youngest of the major networks' morning shows, although CBS has programmed in that timeslot continuously since 1965.[citation needed]
The Early Show, like many of its predecessors, has traditionally run third in the ratings to its rivals, NBC's Today and ABC's Good Morning America. Much like NBC's The Today Show and The Tonight Show, the title The Early Show is analogous to that of CBS' late-night talk show, Late Show.
Saturday edition
The Saturday edition of The Early Show premiered in September 1997 as CBS Saturday Morning. It is anchored by Chris Wragge of WCBS and Betty Nguyen.[15] WCBS' chief meteorologist Lonnie Quinn serves as weather anchor, and Rebecca Jarvis serves as news anchor. Nguyen is temporarily anchoring while Erica Hill is on maternity leave, no date has been given for her return. The show features news and lifestyle segments, including two holdovers from the original CBS Saturday Morning: Chef on a Shoestring (a cooking segment) and The Second Cup Cafe (a music segment).
As of 2008, The Saturday Early Show no longer carries a separate name from the weekday edition, and is introduced simply as The Early Show. The program is broadcast live beginning at 8:00 a.m. ET on Saturday mornings from the GM Building on Fifth Avenue in New York City, across the street from Central Park. It airs at various times through the country on most CBS stations. However, depending on the time zone it may or may not air (some CBS affiliates preempt the Saturday morning edition for local newscasts, and some push up the timeslot of the Saturday morning children's program block after the newscast if it ends before 9:00 a.m. in order to make up for it).
The Early Show does not carry a Sunday edition, nor are there any plans for one in the near future, due to the continued success of CBS News Sunday Morning, which has a distinctly different format with long form journalism reports and in depth interview segments.
[edit]Early Backstage
Introduced July 14, 2009, The Early Show's Web site features a daily blog called Early Backstage giving visitors a look at things not seen on the broadcast, such as after-the-show anchor antics, celebrity interviews and behind-the-scenes features. Early Backstage is hosted by Adam Wurtzel (Adam the Audience Guy).
[edit]Ratings
CBS has been the perennial third-place finisher in the morning race since 1976, placing second only a few times in the past 30 years. CBS beat Good Morning America for second place the weeks of January 17, 1977 and December 28, 1998. The Today Show was in first place both times. However, CBS outrated The Today Show for second spot over a few weeks in 1984 when Jane Pauley was on maternity leave. At that time, Good Morning America was ranked #1.[16]
In 2007, CBS sought to change the 3rd place position of The Early Show in September 2007 by hiring Shelly Ross, former executive producer of GMA from 1999–2004. Significant changes were made to the program as Ross asserted her influence. For instance, the network no longer allows the frequent local station breaks that were previously allowed during the former broadcast as of January 7, 2008.[17] CBS reportedly views the removal of those breaks as vital to creating a national profile for the program.[citation needed]
However, some CBS affiliates continue to air the full program on another co-owned sister station and continue to air their local morning news; WWL-TV in New Orleans has never aired the Early Show or any of its previous versions, broadcasting all local newscasts instead, currently from 5am-9am. The Early Show now airs in New Orleans on MyNetworkTV sister station WUPL. Cincinnati's WKRC-TV airs the full show on the CBS station with an hour of all-local news on the co-owned CW channel. Salt Lake City's KUTV (which was formerly owned by the network until 2007) continues to pre-empt the program's first hour despite the network's insistence.[citation needed]
Industry insiders considered Ross' influence to be a serious threat and bring the profile of the show up to make the program a true competitor to NBC's Today and ABC's Good Morning America. After six months, Ross was fired from the position, after frequent feuds with staff, particularly Smith and Chen, who reportedly informed managemnt that either Ross would have to go or they would.[18]
In 2008, TV season, The Early Show is showing ratings strength with double-digit increases compared with a year earlier. Today has averaged 6 million viewers (up 6%) and a 2.2 in adults 25-54 (flat). ABC's Good Morning America has averaged 4.9 million (up 1%) and a 1.7 in adults aged 25-54 (flat). Early Show has averaged 3.5 million (up 20%) and a 1.3 in adults 25-54 (up 30%).[19]
For the fourth quarter of 2008 (9/22/08-12/28/08), The Early Show (2.92 million viewers) posted its best delivery among total viewers in three years (since 2.93m in 2005) and cut the gap with GMA by 578,000 viewers. The CBS broadcast is also in its closest competitive position to both GMA and Today in a decade in total viewers and the key news demographic of adults aged 25-54.[citation needed]
Total Viewers '08 Total Viewers '07 Change
The Early Show 2,920,000 2,780,000 +5%
Today 5,459,000 5,499,000 -1%
Good Morning America 4,508,000 4,946,000 -9%
Year-to-year, CBS' The Early Show cut the Total Viewer gap by 190,000 between 2nd place Good Morning America.[20]
Total Viewers: NBC: 5,820,000 / ABC: 4,522,000 / CBS: 3,213,000
Ages 25-54 rating: NBC: 2.1/15 / ABC: 1.7/11 / CBS: 1.2/8
On WBNS-TV 10 in Columbus, the first half-hour of The Early Show managed to surpass NBC's Today in ratings.[21] All three broadcasts increased viewership from the prior week.
Total Viewers: NBC: 5,700,000 / ABC: 4,600,000 / CBS: 3,100,000
Ages 25-54 Rating: NBC: 2.1 / ABC: 1.6 / CBS: 1.1[22]
Even as Smith, Chen and Rodriguez grow more comfortable after CBS's failed experiment with a four-anchor team, their program remains far behind its rivals. After the May sweeps, The Early Show boasted of a 5 percent increase in viewers, while Today dipped 3 percent and Good Morning America by 4 percent.[9]
[edit]Theme music
The debut theme for the The Early Show' was a typical opener for an American morning news program. When the show reformatted with new hosts and set they used an instrumental version of Sting's 1999 hit, Brand New Day until late October 2006, when it was replaced by the CBS Evening News theme from James Horner. In January 7, 2008, CBS made an attempt to relaunch the show with new hosts and set plus an updated theme music that of the James Horner's composition. The theme was modified for a number of times since the reformat took launch.
[edit]International broadcasts
In Australia, The Early Show airs on Network Ten weekday mornings from 4.00am under the title "The CBS Early Show", with Fridays edition being held over to the following Monday. A national weather map of Australia is inserted during local affiliate cut-aways for weather. No local news is inserted, however. America's top 3 breakfast television programs air in Australia almost simultaneously, with NBC Today airing on the Seven Network at 4.00am and Good Morning America on Nine airing from 3.30 am. Unlike the above, The Early Show is not condensed or edited. It is, however, pre-empted in most regional areas for paid and religious programming.
In the Philippines, it is currently being shown on Lifestyle Network Tue to Sat 6 to 8 am (local time).[23]
[edit]Awards
In 2010, The Early Show was nominated for a GLAAD Media Award for "Outstanding TV Journalism Segment" for the segment "Reverend’s Revelation: Minister Speaks Out About Being Transgender" during the 21st GLAAD Media Awards.

On the wall of the Cheerful Tortoise, a Portland State University hangout. PSU wrestling is one paint job away from obivion.
Collegiate wrestling is in decline on the West coast.
The first wrestling match we attended was at Portland State University. Now that program's been shut down, as has wrestling at the University of Oregon. Wrestling died at the University of Washington in about 1980.
I like wrestling because men can excel regardless of their stature. That's not true of many other sports.
It's also one of the few sports that hasn't been tainted by professionalism at the high school and college levels. It is and will remain a true amateur sport. They do it because they love the sport (hence the word "amateur"), not money or fame.
Here's an excerpt from a March 2009 newspaper article about the PSU team's demise:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Even as he watched his team compete for perhaps the final time at this month's Pacific-10 Conference championships, Portland State wrestling coach Mike Haluska remained optimistic.
"I just had a really good feeling through all of this that it would work out," Haluska said.
Instead, the Portland State wrestling team was informed Wednesday by the university that it has been eliminated.
The news comes two months after PSU president Wim Wiewel created a seven-person task force to look into concerns with the wrestling program related to finances, academics and lack of success at the Division I level.
"This is very disappointing," Haluska said. "None of (the athletes) want to leave. They all want to wrestle at Portland State. Right now, they're obviously pretty down. But we're going to fight to keep it."
Portland State athletic director Torre Chisholm told the Vikings their fate in a 45-minute meeting Wednesday morning. The university task force recommended that wrestling become a club sport.
"I don't believe that it was any single area of concern that led to the decision, but a combined effect of all the problems," Chisholm said. "Added together, the wrestling program was in serious distress and the university lacks the resources to fix the many problems."
Portland State becomes the 15th college in Oregon to eliminate wrestling in the past 35 years, including the 670th in the nation, according to the National Wrestling Coaches Association. The University of Oregon cut its program after the 2007-08 season.

As part of the NYC DOT’s Urban Art Program’s Asphalt Art Activation initiative, NY Cares and the DOT Bike Share Program present “Lovely to See You” by Brooklyn-based artist Emily Caisip at the Franklin Street Bike Share station. On the first day of the two day installation, the DOT Bike Share staff primed the site with a vibrant blue color. On the second day, NY Cares volunteers assisted in the implementation of the colorful red leaf design. The leaf pattern was inspired by leaves that are strewn about on many of our New York City streets. The placement of the leaves was spontaneous, while creating a sense of order and pattern at the same time. This project was the first for the Asphalt Art Activation initiative, which activates asphalt with murals around bike share stations throughout the city.

How would you describe your WSSU experience?
My time at WSSU has been an amazing journey. I have learned so much about myself in these four years. My courses have been challenging and my professors have always pushed me to be better.
What were some of your favorite parts of your college experience?
My favorite part of my college experience has been the people I have met in college both faculty and students. They have all taken part in my success in college.
What was it like to study in China and Brazil?
Studying abroad got me out of my comfort zone and taught me that learning does not always happen in a classroom. I learned about the world and the different cultures that I was surrounded by.

I sent this letter today to Josh Benson, the new director of the NYC Dept of Transportation's Bicycle Program. It's about the city employees who use the bike lane on Adams St in Brooklyn as an all-day parking spot.
Some background: Benson became the DOT's Bicycle Program director a few weeks ago, after predecessor Andrew Vesselinovitch resigned in protest against what he saw as the DOT's recalcitrance in implementing policies that would make city biking safer. "The city certainly hasn't done everything that it can do to make it safer, or to really use bicycles," the Sun quotes Vesselinovitch as saying.
According to Streets Blog, Benson is himself an urban cyclist who served as the DOT Bike Program's Deputy Director in the early 2000's and more recently worked for the NYC Housing Authority.
For more, see: Resident, the Daily News on DOT's Commissioner Iris Weinshall, NY Sun on Vesselinovitch's resignation, comments from Streets Blog about the need for improvements to bike lanes in New York.

On 7th May 2015 The CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS), East Africa hosted the program’s Independent Science Panel (ISP) and Program Management Committee (PMC) at the Nyando Climate-Smart Villages in Kenya, one of the region’s learning sites. The team visited farmers to see the uptake of various climate- smart technologies that have made them food secure and increased their adaptive capacity to climate variability. The climate –smart farmers have not only increased their yields but have also become champion farmers (examples) for the community to emulate.

The Art Center Cooperative, the Jacksonville Port Authority (JAXPORT), the Cathedral Arts Project, St. Johns Riverkeeper, Duval County Public Schools and Comcast have developed and sponsored the River Art Mentorship Program — educationally based, maritime-themed art workshops for select Duval County Public School (DCPS) middle school students.
The program’s purpose is to provide creatively gifted students the opportunity to continue practicing art, while expanding their knowledge of the region’s greatest asset, the St. Johns River. The program partners agree it is important to foster the growth of young artists through imagination and discovery.
Mary Atwood of The Art Center Cooperative explains the organization’s interest in creating the River Art Mentorship Program. “As part of The Art Center’s ongoing mission to bring art opportunities to underserved children, it is our pleasure to team up with these outstanding organizations to host the River Art Mentorship program. We hope by combining academic and artistic experiences, we can help motivate the participating students to reach for success in the classroom as well as inspire them to further explore and expand their own creative abilities.”
Sessions began with a river tour and continued with workshops focusing on painting, print making, These workshops, held at The Art Center at 229 North Hogan Street, were offered at no charge to the students. Funding is received through a grant from Target and in-kind donations from supporters. The students were encouraged to produce works of art which reflect both the industrial and natural beauty of the St. Johns River.

A blocked extra point by Matthew Tamburri and a 4th down sack by Curtis Jerzerick sealed Army West Point Sprint Football’s victory over Navy 24-23 in a thriller at Shea Stadium on Halloween Oct. 31.
With the win, the Black Knights (7-0, 7-0 CSFL) cap off their 17th perfect season and 34th Collegiate Sprint Football League (CSFL) title.
The seniors from the Class of 2016 who were honored before today’s game have the best four-year record of any class in the program’s 58-year history at 27-1 and won three CSFL Championships. Those seniors are kicker Warren Kay, punter Mark Dabeck, defensive linemen Jared Sturgell, Curtis Gardner and Philip Choi, wide receivers Justin Hall, Othie Freeny, Kevin O’Brien and Tucker Van Dyke, defensive backs Jack Barnett, Alfred McQuirter and Shaq Tolbert, linebacker Ryan Gallagher, and offensive linemen Gerald McDonough, Nolan Jones, Cale Brown, Darius Javan and Kenny McClain.
Sophomore running back Marqus Burrell led all rushers with 121 yards and a touchdown on 26 carries for the Black Knights while freshman quarterback Brady Miller completed 11 of 18 for 100 yards and two touchdowns. Van Dyke and Kevin O’Brien led the team in receiving with Van Dyke hauling in four passes for 20 yards while O’Brien gain 45 yards receiving.
On the defensive side of the ball, Tamburri had a game-high 15 tackles and came up with the biggest stop of the season blocking Navy’s (5-2, 4-2 CSFL) potential game-tying extra point with 3:29 left in the game. Fellow Sophomore Tanner Andrews recorded two interceptions, bringing his season-total to six. Sophomore Nathan Lopez and Tolbert also recorded interceptions for Army. Jerzerick’s game-ending sack was the only one for the Black Knights, who came into the Star Game leading the CSFL in that category with 40 and had the league-leader in Choi who had 11.5 in the first six games.

Artist concept of the Ares I crew launch vehicle first stage. The launch vehicle's first stage is a single, five-segment reusable solid rocket booster, derived from the Space Shuttle Program's four-segment reusable solid rocket booster, which burns a specifically formulated and shaped solid propellant called polybutadiene acrylonitrile (PBAN). A newly designed forward adapter will mate the vehicle's first stage to the second, and will be equipped with booster separation motors to disconnect the stages during ascent.
