The academy is grateful to President Steve Dorman for the invitation to meet at Georgia College. The academy is also grateful to Koushik Banerjee and his committee for organizing this meeting. Georgia College was founded in 1889 as a college for women. One famous student of this college is the writer Mary Flannery O’Connor. This college became co-educational in 1967. Currently 6600 graduate and undergraduate students are pursuing advanced studies at this institution. Georgia College has an observatory along with a variety of programs of study. If you get some free time please explore the town of Milledgeville. It was founded over 200 years ago. This town was the capitol of Georgia from 1804 to 1868. Important places to visit include the Oconee River, the Old State Capitol Building and the Bartram Educational Forest. Sincerely, Richard W. Schmude, Jr. President The Georgia Academy of Science https://digitalcommons.gaacademy.org/gjs/vol73/iss1/1 4 et al.: Program and Abstracts of the Annual Meeting 3 Published by Digital Commons @ the Georgia Academy of Science, 2015 5 4 Georgia Journal of Science, Vol. 73 [2015], Art. 1 GEORGIA COLLEGE MAP https://digitalcommons.gaacademy.org/gjs/vol73/iss1/1 6 et al.: Program and Abstracts of the Annual Meeting 5 GAS 2015 PROGRAM Friday, March 13, 2015 12:00 PM Georgia Academy of Science Board of Directors Meeting HSB 211 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM Oral Presentations HSB 213 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM On-site Registration HSB Student Commons 5:15 PM to 6:30 PM Opening remarks, Poster Presentations HSB 314 Refreshments Served 6:30 PM to 6:45 PM Break 6:45 PM to 7:30 PM Keynote Lecture A&S Auditorium Dr. Chryssa Kouveliotou of the Marshall Space Flight Center and UA-Huntsville will deliver our keynote address. Dr. Kouveliotou, a Fellow of the American Physical Society, is a recipient of several prestigious awards for her contributions to physics (2003 Rossi Prize, 2004 Descartes Prize, and 2012 Heineman Prize), and has helped develop multiple missions dedicated to the study of gamma-ray bursts and highly-magnetized neutron stars. The Transient High-Energy Sky High-energy transients exhibit themselves in many diverse ways: supernovae, gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), magnetars, X-ray Binaries, Active Galactic Nuclei, among others. My work has focused predominantly in magnetars and GRBs; I will discuss here these transients, their properties and the evolution in the last 30 years of our knowledge of their nature and radiation mechanisms. Finally, I will briefly mention the findings of the NASA Astro- physics Roadmap team, who produced the long term (beyond the next 30 years) strategic planning of NASA. 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM Tour Historic Downtown Milledgeville (self guided) 8:30 PM to 10:00 PM Observatory Visit Saturday, March 14, 2015 7:30 AM to 8:00 AM Light Breakfast HSB Student Commons 8:00 AM to 12:00 AM Oral Presentations HSB Rooms 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM Lunch Magnolia Ballroom 1:15 PM to 1:45 PM Student awards HSB 211 Published by Digital Commons @ the Georgia Academy of Science, 2015 7 6 Georgia Journal of Science, Vol. 73 [2015], Art. 1 FRIDAY PAPER PRESENTATIONS *Denotes student presenter **Denotes student research in progress Section I: Biological Sciences Health Sciences Building, Room 144 Paul T.

  • Rule 391-3-6-.03. Water Use Classifications and Water Quality Standards
    Presented below are water quality standards that are in effect for Clean Water Act purposes. EPA is posting these standards as a convenience to users and has made a reasonable effort to assure their accuracy. Additionally, EPA has made a reasonable effort to identify parts of the standards that are not approved, disapproved, or are otherwise not in effect for Clean Water Act purposes. Rule 391-3-6-.03. Water Use Classifications and Water Quality Standards ( 1) Purpose. The establishment of water quality standards. (2) W ate r Quality Enhancement: (a) The purposes and intent of the State in establishing Water Quality Standards are to provide enhancement of water quality and prevention of pollution; to protect the public health or welfare in accordance with the public interest for drinking water supplies, conservation of fish, wildlife and other beneficial aquatic life, and agricultural, industrial, recreational, and other reasonable and necessary uses and to maintain and improve the biological integrity of the waters of the State. ( b) The following paragraphs describe the three tiers of the State's waters. (i) Tier 1 - Existing instream water uses and the level of water quality necessary to protect the existing uses shall be maintained and protected. (ii) Tier 2 - Where the quality of the waters exceed levels necessary to support propagation of fish, shellfish, and wildlife and recreation in and on the water, that quality shall be maintained and protected unless the division finds, after full satisfaction of the intergovernmental coordination and public participation provisions of the division's continuing planning process, that allowing lower water quality is necessary to accommodate important economic or social development in the area in which the waters are located.

  • Summary of Sexual Abuse Claims in Chapter 11 Cases of Boy Scouts of America
    Summary of Sexual Abuse Claims in Chapter 11 Cases of Boy Scouts of America There are approximately 101,135sexual abuse claims filed. Of those claims, the Tort Claimants’ Committee estimates that there are approximately 83,807 unique claims if the amended and superseded and multiple claims filed on account of the same survivor are removed. The summary of sexual abuse claims below uses the set of 83,807 of claim for purposes of claims summary below.1 The Tort Claimants’ Committee has broken down the sexual abuse claims in various categories for the purpose of disclosing where and when the sexual abuse claims arose and the identity of certain of the parties that are implicated in the alleged sexual abuse. Attached hereto as Exhibit 1 is a chart that shows the sexual abuse claims broken down by the year in which they first arose. Please note that there approximately 10,500 claims did not provide a date for when the sexual abuse occurred. As a result, those claims have not been assigned a year in which the abuse first arose. Attached hereto as Exhibit 2 is a chart that shows the claims broken down by the state or jurisdiction in which they arose. Please note there are approximately 7,186 claims that did not provide a location of abuse. Those claims are reflected by YY or ZZ in the codes used to identify the applicable state or jurisdiction. Those claims have not been assigned a state or other jurisdiction. Attached hereto as Exhibit 3 is a chart that shows the claims broken down by the Local Council implicated in the sexual abuse.
