    HIGHWAYS BETTERING THE ECONOMY AND ENVIRONMENT POLLINATOR PROTECTION ACT H.R. 2738 Introduced by Reps. Alcee L. Hastings (D-FL) and Jeff Denham (R-CA) The undersigned support H.R. 2738, the Highways Bettering the Economy and Environment Pollinator Protection Act (Highways BEE Act). Pollinators, such as honey bees and native pollinators, birds, bats, and butterflies, are essential to healthy ecosystems and are vital partners in American agriculture. Honey bees, monarch butterflies and other native pollinators are suffering drastic population losses, due in part to loss of habitat. Highway right-of-ways (ROWs) managed by State Departments of Transportation (State DOTs) represent about 17 million acres of opportunity where significant economic and conservation/environmental benefits can be achieved through integrated vegetation management (IVM) practices, that can— Significantly reduce mowing and maintenance costs for State DOTs, and Help create habitat, forage and migratory corridors that will contribute to the health of honey bees, monarch butterflies and other native pollinators, as well as ground nesting birds and other small wildlife. Neighboring agricultural lands and wildlife ecosystems will benefit through improved pollination services. The Highways BEE Act directs the Secretary of Transportation to use existing authorities, programs and funding to encourage and facilitate IVM and pollinator habitat efforts by willing State DOTs and other transportation ROWs managers, building on innovative IVM efforts in a growing number of State

    Origins of the Expanding Universe: 1912-1932 ASP Conference Series, Vol. 471 Michael J. Way and Deidre Hunter, eds. c 2013 Astronomical Society of the Pacific What Else Did V. M. Slipher Do? Joseph S. Tenn Department of Physics & Astronomy, Sonoma State University, Rohnert Park, CA, 94928, USA Abstract. When V. M. Slipher gave the 1933 George Darwin lecture to the Royal Astronomical Society, it was natural that he spoke on spectrographic studies of planets. Less than one–sixth of his published work deals with globular clusters and the objects we now call galaxies. In his most productive years, when he had Percival Lowell to give him direction, Slipher made major discoveries regarding stars, galactic nebulae, and solar system objects. These included the first spectroscopic measurement of the rotation period of Uranus, evidence that Venus’s rotation is very slow, the existence of reflection nebulae and hence interstellar dust, and the stationary lines that prove the existence of interstellar calcium and sodium. After Lowell’s death in 1916 Slipher con- tinued making spectroscopic observations of planets, comets, and the aurora and night sky. He directed the Lowell Observatoryfrom 1916 to 1954, where his greatest achieve- ments were keeping the observatory running despite very limited staff and budget, and initiating and supervising the “successful” search for Lowell’s Planet X. However, he did little science in his last decades, spending most of his time and energy on business endeavors. 1. Introduction Vesto Melvin Slipher, always referred to and addressed as “V. M.” (Giclas 2007; Hoyt 1980b) came to Flagstaff in August 1901, two months after completing his B.A.
