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)

DXO offered some of us tenured customers a free permanent version of Filmpak 3 as part of their opening publicity for Filmpak 4. This program’s purpose is to take a digital picture and give it the same look that different films would have produced, had it been on those films. Although the freebie was more limited in film choices than their #4, it still gave a lot of the old favorites.
For space reasons, I reduced a snapshot taken with an EOS-M by 50%, then applied some of the various filters. Even jpegged, the file is pretty big. To see which films are represented and to get a good look at things like grain and the lines in Polachrome, you will need to see “all size” button, then open up as “original.” You can move the large view around on your screen and see the different color shades of the different iterations.

The DOT Urban Art Program presented artist Chang-Jin Lee's work "Comfort Women Wanted" on one of the DOT Urban Art Program's art display structures in a temporary plaza located at 14th Street and 9th Avenue in Manhattan for one month starting on May 6, 2013. Based on the artist's interaction with comfort women survivors and a former Japanese solider from WWII, "Comfort Women Wanted" sheds light on one of the largest cases of female trafficking in the 20th century.
During WWII, young women from Asia and the Netherlands were kidnapped, imprisoned and forced to cater to the needs of the Japanese Imperial Army. By some estimates, only 30% of these women survived the "comfort stations." For the project "Comfort Women Wanted," ad-like posters depict black & white portraits of Asian comfort women survivors. The title and text reference Asian newspapers' comfort women advertisements that were circulated during the war. The project promotes awareness of the comfort women, some of whom are still alive today, and examines a history that has been largely forgotten.
To further explore the complexities of this project, visit Lee's one day screening at Hauser & Wirth Gallery on May 29th.

Fort Hood Survivor Outreach Services, a model for the Army, holds 2nd annual Survivor Seminar & Good Grief Camp
By Rob McIlvaine
FMWRC Public Affairs
FORT HOOD, Texas – The 2010 Fort Hood Military Survivor Seminar and Good Grief Camp brought together nearly 300 Family members from as far away as South Korea, Alaska and Nebraska who joined other survivors in weekend-long program of comfort and support.
Included in this group were 120 youngsters ranging in age from four to 19 who participated in a full schedule of activities, each with a Soldier/Mentor who spent the entire two full days with them using the buddy system.
“We’ve had Families tell us, ‘We don’t want to sit around and cry,’ so based on their feedback and with the help of Lt. Gen. Rick Lynch, our Survivor Outreach Services has grown considerably,” said Janeth Lopez, Fort Hood Survivor Outreach Services Program Manager.
Lynch, who is now the commanding general of the Installation Management Command, combined the efforts of several organizations and services to take care of military Families when he was the III Corps and Fort Hood Commander.
“One of the biggest challenges for an installation is acquiring the space needed to house the services required to adequately help surviving Families,” Lopez said.
Beginning in the spring of 2009, a series of events led to significant changes for surviving Families at Fort Hood.
First, the God Star Family Center’s organization, Helping Unite Gold Star Survivors (HUGSS) was replaced by SOS, a program which falls under the Army’s Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation Command.
“Along with the Casualty Assistance Center, HUGSS, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors, and focus groups used to help form the program’s future, the Fort Hood SOS program began to take shape,” Lopez said.
The Fort Hood area of responsibility includes 175 counties in Texas. Because of the size, one of the first actions, after acquiring the large space to house their offices and Hall of Remembrance, was to hire a staff.
“Our local program was given a Program Manager position and an Office Assistant, two Support Coordinators who would help a Family with programs already existing within the Army, two Financial Counselors and two Family Life Coach positions who would help Families of fallen Soldiers cope with the impact of grief, loss and bereavement,” Lopez said.
For the second annual Survivor Seminar & Good Grief Camp, Fort Hood units, their Soldiers and area businesses pitched in to make the weekend memorable for all those attending.
Members of the Armed Services YMCA volunteered their time to cook beef brisket from six in the morning on Saturday until four in the afternoon when the pulled brisket, baked beans, hot dogs and salad were served up for free.
One of the guys pulling out the brisket and wrapping it up in tin foil for further baking was retired Army Sgt. Maj. David Clemons, who was 1st Cavalry Command Sergeant Major from 2006 to 2008.
“I’ve got some guys in there on the wall at the Hall of Remembrance and I just enjoy giving back,” Clemons said as he jabbed a long fork into a brisket with a hearty smile on his face.
Other units joining were Soldiers of the 1st Cavalry Division Horse Cavalry Detachment, pilots of an Apache Attack helicopter from the 21st Cavalry, a couple of tanks including an M1 A2 SEP V2, a team of Army bridge builders, the Army band, and dogs and their Soldier handlers from the Army K-9 corps. Local businesses included Westbound, a rock and roll band, and Veteran Sound, a group of veterans who handled music mixing and speakers for the band.
“In the three months I’ve been here at SOS the ball has really begun to roll and is now creating a landslide,” Financial Counselor Duane Atchison said of the program.
“Thanks to Lt. Gen. Rick Lynch who started the ball rolling, the interaction of units here on base and the chaplain, this program will do nothing but get stronger and become a major support system for surviving Families,” Atchison said.
During the first day’s opening general session, TAPS Director of Training Darcie Sims told the surviving Families that no matter where or how a Soldier died, everyone was there to listen and to help.
“It is not how someone died that brought us here. None of us wanted to be here. Whatever happened that cost them their life, it did not cost them our love,” Sims said.
“Many of us here maybe never got a chance to say ‘I’m sorry’ or you didn’t get a chance to say ‘goodbye.’ Tonight after dinner and the Soldier Show, we’ll all get a chance to yell up to the heavens, ‘Goodbye, I love you,’” Sims said.
Following two full days of sessions where Families spent time sharing their stories and learning how to cope through meditation, games, exercise and dance, the time for the balloon release finally arrived.
Messages to their loved ones were attached to balloons and they took to the field.
Wayne, a child of a Soldier who had fallen, had no problem announcing what he had written to his father as his Soldier/Mentor David Riecke helped him get ready to release his balloon.
“I miss you,” Wayne said.
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.

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 became more understanding of other cultures and I also had a chance to share my own culture with the world.
How did study abroad enhance your college experience and prepare you for your next step?
Thanks to studying abroad I was able to make my resume Stand out. I showed that I am able to work with people from varies backgrounds and that I am culturally competent. After studying abroad, I also decided to pursue a minor in Portuguese which also made me trilingual ; thus making me competitive for the job marker.
What obstacles did you face while pursuing your degree?
It was not easy to be away from home. Although my hometown, Charlotte, is only an hour and a half away due to my classes and clinical I was not able to spend as much time with my family as I would of liked to.
What are your plans after graduation?
After graduation I will start working as a nurse . I have been offer a job at Presbyterian Hospital back in my home town for which I am very grateful. Eventually I would like to become a travel nurse.

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.

Eighth-grader Alexius Pierce made the go-ahead layup in the game's last minute, and junior Diamonne Harris hit four straight free throws in the final 10 seconds as the Syracuse Academy of Science held off Allegany-Limestone, 55-50, in a Class C girls basketball state semifinal at Hudson Valley Community College.
The Section III-champion Atoms (20-4) will play in the 8-year-old program's first state final at 4 p.m. Saturday against Section IX champion Millbrook.
"It feels unbelievable," said Harris, who led all scorers with 20 points. "We worked so hard - day after day - it was all worth it. It feels so good."
"We just willed our way (to the win), said senior leader Lyrik Jackson, who scored 14 points, grabbed eight rebounds and made five steals for the Atoms. "Coach said keep pushing. We didn't want to go home."
SAS, which trailed by six points at the half (32-26) sparked its second-half offense with a pressing defense that forced Allegany-Limestone into 22 turnovers and yielded a dozen steals.
The #SASAtoms also held Gators' star senior center Morgan Davis to 14 points, about five below her season's average. Morgan only had six in the second half.
"Amazing. Just amazing," said #SASCS head coach Reggie Pickard. "I'm still kind of dreaming - like are we here or not, you know? We're doing everything possible to win a championship. We've worked hard for eight years, and here we are."
The Atoms trailed by as many as eight points late in the second quarter but caught the Gators just two minutes into the third using a press that started paying off in turnovers.
"Our pressure has been the key for us all year," Pickard said. "We force turnovers, make the game kind of ugly.
I thought if we pressured a little more in the second half it would harder for them to get the ball to their bigs."
Allegany-Limestone, from Section VI near Olean, still led by two at the start of the fourth quarter, but SAS sophomore Xyel Bradford's 3-pointer put the Atoms ahead, 41-40, with just under 7 minutes left. Pierce hit another huge three with 2:30 left to play that gave SAS a 47-46 advantage.
But the Gators continued to make big baskets, too, and Allegany-Limestone had a 50-49 lead, and the ball, with just under a minute left to play.
On the in-bounds play, Harris dove for a steal and somehow got the ball to Pierce, who drove in for what would turn out to be the winning points, making it 51-50, Atoms.
The Gators began fouling, but Harris proved worthy against the pressure, hitting two sets for free throws in the final eight seconds.
"It was very nerve-wracking, but we do this all of the time in practice," she said. "I have to stay calm."
Allegany-Limestone coach Frank Martin said his team just couldn't quite hold it together in the final minutes against the SAS quickness.
"I'd love to have the last minute and a half back," he said. "We weren't as good as we needed to be to close this game out. We just weren't as good as we needed to be at the end."
The Atoms had a scare in the final seconds when Jackson took a shot to her head when she went down chasing a loose ball and an Allegany-Limestone player fell on top of her. She had to be helped off the court but was up and talking in the aftermath.
Harris said she hoped to go swimming in the hotel pool later in the day, but her coach wasn't hearing it.
No, no. We're not going to do any swimming," he said, laughing. "Too much muscle movement. They got mad at me last night because I took their phones from them. I'm doing that again tonight, too."

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.

Alewife swim against the current where thousands of herring gather to spawn in a tributary of the Chesapeake Bay in Cecil County, Md., on April 20, 2017. River herring like the alewife and the American shad are anadromous fish that live off the Atlantic coast as adults but journey into freshwater to spawn every spring. Often that journey ends at dams that have cut off thousands of miles of stream habitat. “Last month they were out in the Atlantic ocean somewhere,” said Jim Thompson, a fisheries biologist with the state of Maryland. “That’s why it’s really important to build these (fish) ladders or take these dams out to get them over that last little speed bump so they can spawn.” (Photo by Will Parson/Chesapeake Bay Program)

Eighth-grader Alexius Pierce made the go-ahead layup in the game's last minute, and junior Diamonne Harris hit four straight free throws in the final 10 seconds as the Syracuse Academy of Science held off Allegany-Limestone, 55-50, in a Class C girls basketball state semifinal at Hudson Valley Community College.
The Section III-champion Atoms (20-4) will play in the 8-year-old program's first state final at 4 p.m. Saturday against Section IX champion Millbrook.
"It feels unbelievable," said Harris, who led all scorers with 20 points. "We worked so hard - day after day - it was all worth it. It feels so good."
"We just willed our way (to the win), said senior leader Lyrik Jackson, who scored 14 points, grabbed eight rebounds and made five steals for the Atoms. "Coach said keep pushing. We didn't want to go home."
SAS, which trailed by six points at the half (32-26) sparked its second-half offense with a pressing defense that forced Allegany-Limestone into 22 turnovers and yielded a dozen steals.
The #SASAtoms also held Gators' star senior center Morgan Davis to 14 points, about five below her season's average. Morgan only had six in the second half.
"Amazing. Just amazing," said #SASCS head coach Reggie Pickard. "I'm still kind of dreaming - like are we here or not, you know? We're doing everything possible to win a championship. We've worked hard for eight years, and here we are."
The Atoms trailed by as many as eight points late in the second quarter but caught the Gators just two minutes into the third using a press that started paying off in turnovers.
"Our pressure has been the key for us all year," Pickard said. "We force turnovers, make the game kind of ugly.
I thought if we pressured a little more in the second half it would harder for them to get the ball to their bigs."
Allegany-Limestone, from Section VI near Olean, still led by two at the start of the fourth quarter, but SAS sophomore Xyel Bradford's 3-pointer put the Atoms ahead, 41-40, with just under 7 minutes left. Pierce hit another huge three with 2:30 left to play that gave SAS a 47-46 advantage.
But the Gators continued to make big baskets, too, and Allegany-Limestone had a 50-49 lead, and the ball, with just under a minute left to play.
On the in-bounds play, Harris dove for a steal and somehow got the ball to Pierce, who drove in for what would turn out to be the winning points, making it 51-50, Atoms.
The Gators began fouling, but Harris proved worthy against the pressure, hitting two sets for free throws in the final eight seconds.
"It was very nerve-wracking, but we do this all of the time in practice," she said. "I have to stay calm."
Allegany-Limestone coach Frank Martin said his team just couldn't quite hold it together in the final minutes against the SAS quickness.
"I'd love to have the last minute and a half back," he said. "We weren't as good as we needed to be to close this game out. We just weren't as good as we needed to be at the end."
The Atoms had a scare in the final seconds when Jackson took a shot to her head when she went down chasing a loose ball and an Allegany-Limestone player fell on top of her. She had to be helped off the court but was up and talking in the aftermath.
Harris said she hoped to go swimming in the hotel pool later in the day, but her coach wasn't hearing it.
No, no. We're not going to do any swimming," he said, laughing. "Too much muscle movement. They got mad at me last night because I took their phones from them. I'm doing that again tonight, too."

Farmer Jerry Harris of Church Creek, Md., poses with his dogs Maggie and Bo next to a water empoundment created for waterfowl habitat on Harris's property on March 11, 2014. With financial assistance from the state of Maryland, Ducks Unlimited and North American Wetlands Conservation Act Grants (NAWCA), Harris built berms to create a series of separate water impoundments for use by waterfowl across 80 acres of the 230-acre farm. “We had a lot of ducks out here and (Maryland Department of Natural Resources) thought this would be a good opportunity,” said Harris, who acquired the farm roughly 20 years prior. “As a hunter I think we have a good obligation to put something back.” (Photo by Steve Droter/Chesapeake Bay Program)

In scratching out a 64-61 win over Maryland Eastern Shore on Saturday evening at the HU Convocation Center, the Hampton University men's basketball team snapped its six-game losing streak.
The Pirates improved to 9-14 overall and 5-5 in the MEAC on the season.
Head coach Edward Joyner Jr. won his 91st career game in the process, becoming the program's all-time winningest Div. I coach – surpassing Steve Merfeld.
Guard Reginald Johnson registered his second straight 20-point game, leading all Pirate scorers with 21 points on 7-for-15 shooting. Guard/forward Dwight Meikle added 16 points and a team-high 11 rebounds for his fourth double-double of the season.
Guard Deron Powers added 11 points and four assists.
The Pirates shot 44.2 percent (23-for-52) from the floor – thanks in large part to a 14-for-25 effort (56.0 percent) in the second half. Hampton scored 25 points off of 16 UMES turnovers, and Hampton held a 26-22 edge in points in the paint.
A layup from Devin Martin with 2:14 left in the game tied the contest at 58-58, before Johnson answered with 1:11 left by converting an acrobatic 3-point play to put the Pirates up 61-58. Dominique Elliott cut that lead to 61-60 with a jumper with 55 seconds left.
But Meikle put his stamp on the game with 42 seconds left, finding space on the fast break before floating in the air, making it look as if he would finger-roll the ball into the hoop, before slamming the ball home with one hand to give the Pirates a 63-60 lead.
The two teams traded free throws down the stretch, but Martin missed both of his 3-pointers in the closing moments to hand the Pirates the hard-fought win.
The UMES led much of the night, though – particularly in the first half. The Hawks opened the game with six straight – thanks to back-to-back 3-pointers from Ryan Andino – before the Pirates cut the lead to 6-5 on a jumper in the paint from junior forward Jervon Pressley.
The Hawks opened the game back up, taking a 22-10 lead at the 8:37 mark after a 3-pointer from Martin. A dunk from Michael Myers and a layup from Devon Walker gave UMES a 29-16 lead with 2:39 left in the half.
But Hampton scored the last seven points of the frame – a jumper and 3-pointer from Meikle and a jumper from Powers – to cut UMES' lead to 29-23 at the break.
That momentum carried into the second half, as the Pirates cut UMES' lead to one on three separate occasions before taking their first lead of the night on a Johnson layup with 15:12 left – putting Hampton up 36-35.
Johnson then hit a trey to put the Pirates up 39-35 at the 13:32 mark.
Johnson added a layup with 13:14 remaining to give the Pirates a 41-37 lead, before UMES went on a 10-1 run to take a 47-42 lead with 10:39 left to play after a dunk from Elliott. Elliott later gave the UMES a 53-48 lead at the 6:29 mark with a free throw.
After a pair of Martin free throws gave the Hawks a 55-50 lead, the Pirates went on a 7-0 spurt, taking a 57-55 lead with 3:13 left to play after a jumper from Powers.
Red Weasel Media was sitting on the baseline to capture all of the high flying action. Go Pirates!
Gwinnett Technical College Horticulture Program's Learning Garden in Lawrenceville, GA, on Friday, Mar. 20, 2015. The field allows students to demonstrate a variety growing techniques. All the plants are edible produce and allows culinary students to learn the value of farm fresh produce resulting in future Farm to Table practices that emphasize the partnership between the two programs. Horticulture students will plan and schedule plantings to meet the needs of upcoming menus. Culinary students will harvest the produce they will prepare that day. USDA photo by Lance Cheung.
