According to the Nation- al Weather Service in Seattle, Centralia hit 64 degrees on Thursday and Friday. Thursday’s temperature tied with a record set in 1963 and Friday’s tied with a 1934 record. “It’s getting up there but it’s like, ‘I don’t want to be standout,’” weather service meteorologist Johnny Burg said about the dueling record temperatures. The weather service, which doesn’t have auto- mated sites in Lewis County, hadn’t received weekend temperature recordings from its cooperative observ- ers when The Chronicle in- quired on Monday.

  • Letter from State-Level Elected Leaders in All 50 States Supporting Betsy Devos for Secretary of Education
    LETTER FROM STATE-LEVEL ELECTED LEADERS IN ALL 50 STATES SUPPORTING BETSY DEVOS FOR SECRETARY OF EDUCATION January 17, 2017 The Honorable Lamar Alexander Chairman U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions 428 Dirksen Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Chairman Alexander, As one of the most critical issues impacting the future of our nation, we must have a Secretary of Education committed to the needs of all of our nation’s children. Betsy DeVos has made it her life’s mission to find, support and push for education solutions in her home state of Michigan and across the country. She is an advocate and ally for all children, and we write to you today to express our support for her nomination to this important position as her confirmation hearing approaches. We represent elected state offices from all 50 states, and as such, we each know the impact of an overgrown federal government reaching into the states to push a one-size-fits all approach to education. No two states, localities or school districts are the same, nor are the needs of the children who reside there. Betsy DeVos understands this distinction and for years has embraced a variety of education solutions to meet this need. Her support for an all-of-the-above approach to K-12 education – from charter schools, to public, private and online education – defines the school choice movement that has helped countless children across many of our states. By advancing these innovative solutions from the Department of Education, Betsy DeVos will put children first and empower not only states to lead the way in making critical education decisions, but also empower parents to choose what type of education is best for their children.

    Science Magazine Podcast Transcript, 17 May 2013 http://podcasts.aaas.org/science_news/SciencePodcast_130517_ScienceNOW.mp3 Promo The following is an excerpt from the Science Podcast. To hear the whole show, visit www.sciencemag.org and click on “Science Podcast.” Music Interviewer – Sarah Crespi Finally today, I’m here with David Grimm, online news editor for Science. He’s here to give us a rundown of some of the recent stories from our daily news site. I’m Sarah Crespi. So Dave, first up we have “dam” deforestation. Interviewee – David Grimm Sarah, this story is about hydropower. This is a major source of power in the world; turbines hooked up to dams, the water flows down, spins the turbine, and can power a lot. In fact, there is a dam that’s being constructed in Brazil called the Belo Monte Dam, which is a 14 billion dollar project. And when it’s complete, it will have the third greatest capacity for generating hydropower in the world. Interviewer – Sarah Crespi Okay, so what about the trees? Interviewee – David Grimm Well, there’s a problem: to build these dams you’ve got to cut down a lot of trees, and that has its own ecological problems. But engineers didn’t worry about the cutting down the trees themselves as a problem for the dam power; in fact, they thought that cutting down the trees would actually improve hydroelectric power, the reason being that trees suck up a lot of water from the soil. It’s a process known as evapotranspiration, where the water gets sucked up into the trees, the trees transpire the water through their leaves, and that water enters the atmosphere.

  • Restoration of Heterogeneous Disturbance Regimes for the Preservation of Endangered Species Steven D
    RESEARCH ARTICLE Restoration of Heterogeneous Disturbance Regimes for the Preservation of Endangered Species Steven D. Warren and Reiner Büttner ABSTRACT Disturbance is a natural component of ecosystems. All species, including threatened and endangered species, evolved in the presence of, and are adapted to natural disturbance regimes that vary in the kind, frequency, severity, and duration of disturbance. We investigated the relationship between the level of visible soil disturbance and the density of four endan- gered plant species on U.S. Army training lands in the German state of Bavaria. Two species, gray hairgrass (Corynephorus canescens) and mudwort (Limosella aquatica), showed marked affinity for or dependency on high levels of recent soil disturbance. The density of fringed gentian (Gentianella ciliata) and shepherd’s cress (Teesdalia nudicaulis) declined with recent disturbance, but appeared to favor older disturbance which could not be quantified by the methods employed in this study. The study illustrates the need to restore and maintain disturbance regimes that are heterogeneous in terms of the intensity of and time since disturbance. Such a restoration strategy has the potential to favor plant species along the entire spectrum of ecological succession, thereby maximizing plant biodiversity and ecosystem stability.

  • 1 September 8, 2014 Todd K. Grimm, State Director Idaho Wildlife Services
    September 8, 2014 Todd K. Grimm, State Director Idaho Wildlife Services (“WS”) 9134 West Blackeagle Dr. Boise, ID 83709 [email protected] VIA EMAIL AND CERTIFIED MAIL Re: Idaho Wildlife Services compliance with NEPA, ESA Dear Mr. Grimm: In accordance with the 60-day notice requirement of the Endangered Species Act (“ESA”), 16 U.S.C. § 1540(g), Western Watersheds Project, WildEarth Guardians, the Center for Biological Diversity, and Friends of the Clearwater hereby provide notice of intent to sue for violations of the ESA relating to Idaho Wildlife Service’s ongoing operations and programs, as well as violations of compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”). NEPA ISSUES The U.S. Department of Agriculture-Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service- Wildlife Services (“WS”) issued a Central and Northern Idaho Predator Control Environmental Assessment (“EA”) in 1996, along with a subsequent finding of no significant impact (“FONSI”) in 2004. It issued an EA and FONSI for Predator Damage Management in Southern Idaho in 2002, with a “five year update” in 2007 and another FONSI in 2008. A subsequent EA and FONSI issued in 2011 concerned Idaho wolf management only. After examining these documents, it is apparent that WS’s operations in Idaho have been and are being conducted with either no or inadequate compliance with NEPA. Because Idaho WS’s EAs tier to the outdated 1994/1997 Animal Damage Control Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (“PEIS”), and because much of the literature upon which WS relies is outdated or uninformed by the best available science, we request that WS conduct a new environmental analysis – either new EAs or a cumulative environmental impact statement (“EIS”) for the State of Idaho, and that in the meantime it cease and desist all operations until adequate analyses are undertaken.

Amgen recognizes the importance of sound public policy in achieving this goal, and, accordingly, participates in the political process and supports those candidates, committees, and other organizations who work to advance healthcare innovation and improve patient access.
