When you're trying to move as many miles as you can during the week, it's important to plan properly so you can keep the wheels moving and stay safe. Veteran drivers William Watson and Mike Hornback join host David Broyles to provide some tips on how to get the most out of their driving clock.
SwRI researchers used the machine-learning tool Highlight™ to evaluate dozens of consumer products for chemicals, and the potential for human exposure. They looked at clothing, upholstery, fabrics, rubber and plastics samples and subjected them to various heat settings and solvents. They determined what chemicals were present and whether they could be emitted or extracted with normal use. Researchers identified both chemicals known to be harmful to human health and safe chemicals in the household products. The collaborative study with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was published in the Environmental Science & Technology Journal. Listen now as SwRI analytical chemist Dr. Kristin Favela and chemical engineer William Watson discuss how the study will advance the field of exposomics, the type of products that tested as most risky and the SwRI software tool that illuminated the data.
Shotgun Spratling and Jack Smith return on the Dedeaux Download Podcast to wrap up the Pac-12 Tournament, breaking down USC baseball's run to the championship game, battling to make the title game against regular-season champ Arizona. The Trojans needed a win to take the final Pac-12 title and the NCAA tournament automatic bid, but ultimately they ran out of gas, watching a 3-0 lead and a Caden Aoki no-hitter disappear in the final three innings before ultimately falling to the Wildcats on a walk-off winner that featured a bang-bang play at the plate. The Trojans got excellent starting pitching each of their four games, led by Aoki's masterpiece in the championship and William Watson earning himself some money with the best start of his short USC career. They fought through close games, rallying to beat Utah's career saves leader Micah Ashman before having to hold off Oregon and Cal with both getting late opportunities with the tying run at the plate. Shotgun and Jack break down all the action from the week in Scottsdale and take a brief look forward at what USC's final push this season will do for the program in the future.

Shotgun Spratling and Jack Smith return with another episode of the Dedeaux Download Podcast to break down the three-week period for USC baseball before the Trojans begin the final weekend of the regular season. During the three weeks, USC saw its at-large hopes officially dashed while going 6-6 with series losses at Arizona State and to California. The Trojans enter the final weekend carrying a three-game win streak after rallying to win a road series at Washington State and taking a midweek road game at Gonzaga. The 25-27 Trojans had been without ace Caden Aoki for a month, which really impacted their pitching, particularly the starting pitching. The weekend rotation has been in flux for most of the season due to performance and/or injuries, which has been one of the primary causes of USC floating around just below .500 rather than being able to ascend to their full potential. Shotgun and Jack break down all the action from the three-week stretch in their 'Three Up, Three Down' segment where they look at both the positives, including William Watson, the return of Aoki and the breakthrough of Ryan Jackson, as well as three negatives from the week, including a lack of come-from-behind success this season, Austin Overn going on a 3-for-33 slump and the Trojans not seeming to be able to pick each other up when a mistake is made. The podcasting duo also take a look at where USC stands, breaking down the Pac-12 standings where the Trojans enter the final weekend in sixth with a chance to climb potentially all the way to No. 3. To do that USC will need to sweep Utah in the Trojans' final home series of the season. Shotgun and Jack look forward to the upcoming action between USC and the Utes.

Dr. William Watson, Associate Professor of Learning Design and Technology, and Director of Purdue Center for Serious Games and Learning in Virtual Environments focuses his work around the idea that the system of education is antiquated and designed to meet entirely different societal needs than currently exist. Like any tweaks, educational video games are not themselves enough to solve the problems facing education today. Rather, Dr. Watson believes we need a new system of education that is focused on actual learning rather than driven by time and the comparison and sorting of learners, a personalized approach to learning.

Dr. Watson explain how South Jersey Catholic Schools are thriving even under the pressures caused by a pandemic that seem to have come from nowhere. It certainly has pushed Catholic school leaders and teachers to think outside of the box to be able to teach remotely and in person, simultaneously.

The Dark Horde Podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/show/the-dark-horde How the Galveston Hurricane of 1900 Became the Deadliest U.S. Natural Disaster The U.S. Weather Bureau got the forecast completely wrong. Link: https://www.history.com/news/how-the-galveston-hurricane-of-1900-became-the-deadliest-u-s-natural-disaster The deadliest natural disaster in American history remains the 1900 hurricane in the island city of Galveston, Texas. On September 8, a category four hurricane descended on the town, destroying more than 3,600 buildings with winds surpassing 135 miles per hour. Estimates of the death toll range from 6,000 to 12,000, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association. Tragically, the magnitude of the disaster could've been lessened if the U.S. Weather Bureau hadn't implemented such poor communication policies. When the storm picked up in early September of 1900, “any modestly educated weather forecaster would've known that” it was passing west, says Kerry Emanuel, a professor of atmospheric science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Over in Cuba, where scientists had become very good at tracking storms in the hurricane-prone Caribbean, they “knew that a hurricane had passed to the north of Cuba and was headed to the Gulf of Mexico.” The Weather Bureau in Washington, however, predicted that the storm would pass over Florida and up to New England—which was very, very wrong. On September 3, the cyclone struck modern day Santiago de Cuba Province and then slowly drifted along the southern coast of Cuba. Upon reaching the Gulf of Mexico on September 6, the storm strengthened into a hurricane. Significant intensification followed and the system peaked as a Category 4 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 145 mph (230 km/h) on September 8. Early on the next day, it made landfall to the south of Houston, Texas.[nb 1] Haunted Galveston Walmart The original St. Mary's Orphan Asylum, located at 69th Street and Seawall Boulevard, housed 93 children, who were cared for by ten nuns. On September 8, 1900, a Category 4 hurricane came ashore and carried with it devastation that remains on record as the deadliest natural disaster and the worst hurricane in U.S. history. As the hurricane blasted through the island - with winds estimated at 140 mph - the nuns tied a piece of clothesline around each of their waists, and then each tied line around the wrists of six- to eight children, and attached the children to their line. It was a valiant effort, but God had other plans. The orphanage was completely destroyed and much of it washed out to sea. All of the ten nuns and 90 of the 93 children aged two to 13 drowned. Three boys, somehow ended up together in a tree floating in the water. A day after the storm, they made their way back to land. The sisters were found with the children still tied to their waists. Thirty thousand people, almost the entire population of the city, were left homeless. The Haunted Walmart — Galveston When I stumbled across this particular haunting, I initially thought it must be some kind of joke, as the only specter I'd associate with a Walmart would be the disappearing spirit of domestic manufacturing. But no, the Seawall Walmart in Galveston is thought to be haunted by many people, and for a pretty scary reason — it's located on the spot where the St. Mary's Orphan Asylum once stood. So what happened to that long-gone institution? It was wiped out during the 1900 hurricane that devastated Galveston, which killed ten nuns and 90 children at the orphanage. Despite the heroic actions of the sisters in charge, only three children escaped death when the fury of the storm struck the dormitory everyone was taking refuge in. Now that a Walmart stands where the destroyed orphanage once did, employees report toys being misplaced or disappearing, and occasionally some folks claim to hear the distinct sound of a crying child somewhere in the aisles, but none can ever be found when they search.

Sara stayed on after the water receded to help the injured only to die from one of the many diseases the flood water carried. Sara died three days later. JEAN LAFITTE THE PIRATE Jean Lafitte built the first city on the island that became home to 1,000 pirates and their prostitutes. His home, Maison Rouge was surrounded by a moat for his protection. But, not even a moat can keep the many ghosts that live in his house from entering. The U.S. Navy ordered Laffite to evacuate the island and in his rage he burnt the city he built to the ground. Legend has it he buried his treasure on the west end of the island under three oak trees. But maybe it's not a legend! At the time of Laffite there was a place on the island know as Three Oaks, where today treasure hunters have found doubloons. He loved his island so much he returned in 1823... after he was killed in a sea battle off the coast of Central America.

Right about now you might be thinking about doing a little garden cleanup and preparation for fall. One of the questions I get from gardeners this time of year has to do with whether or not to let some of your plants go to seed. After spending most of the summer deadheading and illuminating all of the brown stuff on our foliage, it can be tough for some gardeners to let things go to seed. But there are many benefits to letting some of the plants in your garden bolt in all their glory. First of all, there is tremendous ornamental value that extends into winter if you allow your perennials to keep their seed heads. (Think of the seeds heads offered by cilantro, kale, arugula, basil and so forth). Second, seeds offer food and habitat to native bees and other creatures. Thirdly, saving seeds from the garden saves you money because it eliminates the need to buy seed for next year. (Think of your tomatoes and other edibles). This practice also allows you to keep heritage plants alive for future generations. That’s exactly how the heirlooms we know and love have been passed down through the generations. The main thing, is to allow nature to do most of the drying for you. Your seeds will have a much higher success rate if you let them dry as much as possible before you collect them. And finally, allowing plants to go to seed means that you will have less to plant and subsequent seasons thanks to volunteer plants. Each year my garden is blessed with Queen Anne’s lace, Indian Paintbrush, Columbine, Forget-Me-Nots, Lettuce, Dill, Foxglove, Valerian, Lovage and Beets. All planted by God; all perfectly placed and happy as a result. My volunteers find a way to utilize the tiniest nooks and crevices in my garden. Brevities #OTD It’s the anniversary of the death of the landscape and portrait painter Thomas Gainsborough who died on this day in 1788. Gainsborough is known for his painting of the Blue Boy today. You can visit Gainsborough’s house in Suffolk. There is a garden there with a spectacular mulberry tree dating to the early 1600s during the reign of James I who encouraged the planting of mulberry trees in order to establish a silk industry. The king and his advisers lacked the knowledge about Mulberry trees of which there are two kinds. The white mulberry feeds silk worms and the black supplies the fruit. Gainsborough’s Mulberry (as well as every other Mulberry cultivated in England) was the black Mulberry. Although England never successfully became known for silk worms, the craft of silk weaving became firmly rooted. In addition to the large Mulberry, the Gainsborough garden includes two Beds for Herbs and another that is strictly devoted to plants used for dying fabric. The rest of the garden is made up of plants that were available during Gainsborough's lifetime. #OTD Today in 1820 the first potatoes were planted in Hawaii. Turns out the, the American brig, the Thaddeus, brought more than the first missionaries to the island brought. #OTD On this day In 1938, the Belvedere Daily Republican, out of Belvedere Illinois, published a small article about a tree named for Benjamin Franklin. Here’s what it said: "About 200 years ago, John Bartram, an eminent botanist, discovered a strange flowering tree in a Georgia forest and named it "Franklinia" in honor of his fellow Philadelphian, Benjamin Franklin." #OTD It’s the anniversary of the death of the poet Wallace Stevens who died on this day in 1955. Stevens said, "Death is the mother of beauty. Only the perishable can be beautiful; which is why we are unmoved by artificial flowers." Stevens was one of the most skilled poets of the 20th Century he lived his entire adult life near Elizabeth Park in Hartford Connecticut. By day, Stevens worked at Hartford insurance company where he became a Vice President and by night he was a poet; it was in an unusual combination. Stevens lived 2 miles from his work and he walked to work every day; undoubtedly using the time to find inspiration and to write poems. The park across from his house was one of his favorite places. Elizabeth Park is huge; covering over 100 acres with formal gardens, meadows, lawns, green houses, and a pond. Stevens wrote the following poems About Elizabeth Park: Vacancy in the Park The Plain Sense of Things Nuns Painting Water Lilies By 1950, Stevens was awarded the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award for his poetry. And, here’s a little known fact about Wallace Stevens: He once started a fist-fight with Ernest Hemingway in Key West. Unearthed Words Today is the birthday of the victorian poet William Watson who is born on this day in 1858. Watson was overlooked two times for the role of poet laureate because he had included his political views about the government's policy regarding South Africa and Ireland into some of his poetry. Late in his life, he was invited to write a poem to commemorate the Liverpool cathedral in 1924 to help raise money. He did the job, but the church wasn’t thrilled that Watson had written about the squalid conditions of the cities population - which was in stark contrast to the Grand Cathedral. Once Watson died, England embraced him. Rudyard Kipling said he was. "someone who had never written a bad line". Here’s a poem by William Watson that gardeners will appreciate. It’s called simply Three Flowers: I made a little song about the rose And sang it for the rose to hear, Nor ever marked until the music's close A lily that was listening near. The red red rose flushed redder with delight, And like a queen her head she raised. The white white lily blanched a paler white, For anger that she was not praised. Turning I left the rose unto her pride, The lily to her enviousness, And soon upon the grassy ground espied A daisy all companionless. Doubtless no flattered flower is this, I deemed; And not so graciously it grew As rose or lily: but methought it seemed More thankful for the sun and dew. Dear love, my sweet small flower that grew'st among The grass, from all the flowers apart,— Forgive me that I gave the rose my song, Ere thou, the daisy, hadst my heart! Today's book recommendation: The Cook and the Gardener : A Year of Recipes and Writings for the French Countryside by Amanda Hesser This award winning book offers a lovely blend of cookbook along with garden stories that allow you to live vicariously with Hesser on a culinary school of estate in burgundy France. Since the book is about traditional French gardening and cooking, it also captures the local customs and wisdom cultivated in provincial France. Each chapter covers a month. The book can be read one season at a time, following along with the changes on the calendar and in the harvest. Each season offers a recipe for stock. The little stories about the gardener are delightful and there are wonderful tips that gardeners will appreciate appreciate. For instance, Amanda learned not to pick cabbages before a frost because the frost enhances the flavor. There’s a lovely recipe for pumpkin soup as well as all kinds of preserves. This is my favorite kind of book because it’s part cookbook, part garden story, and part history. Best of all, the tone is cozy-cozy, charming, and conversational. Today's Garden Chore Propagate some slips of mint. Cut it with a sharp knife below a joint, take off leaves from the bottom 2-3 inches, and then put your cuttings in a glass filled with water for a week or so. It will take a week or two for the roots to form, but don't change the water. (Go ahead and add more if needed). This is one of the simplest ways to propagate mint, as well as other herbs. Something Sweet Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart Just a quick heads up that tomorrow, August 3, is Garden Day at Longwood Gardens.

Have you given much thought to the layout or shape of your garden beds? Do they follow the natural lines and slopes of the landscape? Are they geometric? Long beds with corners? Maybe you’ve tried a circle garden. If you’re just beginning - border beds - beds anchored by a backdrop (like a house or a fence) are the easiest to plan and execute. Often overlooked, one thing to consider in border beds is to add some stepping stones or even a small path along the back to provide access points that make tending your garden easier. Brevities #OTD In 1783: It’s the birthday of Scottish author, garden designer, and botanist John Claudius Loudon.(Books By This Author)A massively popular and breathtakingly prolific writer on horticulture, John focused on serving the needs of the expanding middle class who wanted to have smaller gardens. 1838, Loudon wrote in his book call The Suburban Gardener and Villa Companion, “A suburban residence with a small portion of land attached will contain all that is essential to happiness." Loudon created and published a magazine called The Gardener’s Magazine. It started out as quarterly. The first issue sold 4,000 copies. It soon became bi-monthly. Loudon used the platform to introduce a new landscape perspective which he called “gardenesque”. Prior to Loudon, the prevailing landscape style of the was the “picturesque” view. In contrast with the big picture or natural perspective of the picturesque garden style, Loudon wanted to draw attention to individual specimens - isolating them by removing surrounding plants or by using geometrical beds. During Loudon’s time, exotic plants were the rage and a controlled garden was the best way to feature specimen plants. Loudon's "Gardenesque style” or The Plant Collector’s Garden with formal features and botanical variety was very popular with Victorian gardens. Loudon favored circular beds, of the type which can still be seen in the flower garden at Greenwich Park, because they show plants so well and because they are instantly 'recognizable' as the work of man. John Loudon said, “Any creation to be recognized as a work of art, must be such as can never be mistaken for a work of nature.” Loudon invented the term “arboretum” - a garden of trees designed for scientific and educational purposes. He also had some thoughts about the value of public green spaces or “breathing zones” in cities. Loudon married writer Jane Webb. Jane was indispensable to him. After an attack of rheumatic fever in 1806, Loudon suffered from reduced mobility in his limbs. In 1825, his right arm had to be amputated at the shoulder without anesthesia. Around midnight on December 14, 1843, Loudon was dictating a book to his wife when he collapsed into her arms and died. The book was called, Self-instruction to Young Gardeners. Born #OTD April 8, 1892, America's sweetheart, Hollywood legend, and lover of trees, Mary Pickford born Gladys Marie Smith. Jump on twitter, search for “Mary Pickford Tree” and you’ll see images of Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford planting a tree at their PickFair estate. #ArborDay Mary Pickford (Books By This Author)was the first to plant a tree, a Japanese cedar, in the Forest of Fame at the California Botanic Garden. Trivia/Folklore says that Mary Pickford used to eat Flowers - specifically roses. Thought that they'd make her beautiful and they did, Katie Melua sang a song called Mary Pickford which starts out, "Mary Pickford Used to eat roses Thinking they'd make her Beautiful, and they did- One supposes." Apparently Pickford did indeed use to eat roses to make herself look more beautiful. Mary Pickford reveals in her autobiography, Sunshine and Shadow, that as a young girl living in Toronto she would buy a single rose and eat the petals, believing the beauty, color and perfume would somehow get inside her. Pickford also gifted leading man John Gilberta bench for his garden. It was Mary Pickford who said, "I do not cry easily when seeing a picture, but after seeing [Charles Chaplin's] A Woman of Paris: A Drama of Fate (1923) I was all choked up - I wanted to go out in the garden and have it out by myself. Our cook felt the same way." #OTD in 1805, Hugo von Mohl was born.The greatest "botanist of his day”, it said in one newspaper. A German botanist, he was the first to propose that new cells are formed by cell division. Mitosis was discovered by Hugo von Mohl. And, he discovered chloroplasts - describing them as discrete bodies within the green plant cell in 1837. In 1846 he described the sap in plant cells as, “the living substance of the cell” and created the word “protoplasm”. Unearthed Words An April poem that puts all others in shadow; is the lyrical "April" by William Watson. (Books By This Author) England's onetime poet laureate, he began the poem with the unforgettably beautiful expression which, reminds us that April is the girlish daughter of springtime: "April, April, laugh your girlish laughter, then, the moment after, weep your girlish tears.” April April, April, Laugh thy girlish laughter; Then, the moment after, Weep thy girlish tears! April, that mine ears Like a lover greetest, If I tell thee, sweetest, All my hopes and fears, April, April, Laugh thy golden laughter, But, the moment after, Weep thy golden tears! Today's Book Recommendation The Writer's Garden: How Gardens Inspired our Best-loved Authors by Jackie Bennett The book features 18 gardens and 20 writers; the author reveals how the gardens were tended and enjoyed.

Blueberries should be the top of your list - they’re beautiful in the shoulder seasons - Spring and Fall - plus - Blueberries! Something Sweet Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart Today, we learn about the true story of the "Waterloo Breeches." John Claudius Loudon had written his friend, the Duke of Wellington, to inquire as to whether he might inspect the Waterloo Beeches. As a memorial of the battle of Waterloo, beech trees had been planted immediately after the battle of Waterloo. Now, Loudon's note was kind of hard to read and the Duke misinterpreted a few things. First, he THOUGHT that the note was from C.J. London(the Bishop of London) - not J.C.Loudon(the eminent landscape designer). Second, he misread "beeches" as "BREECHES". Thus, he thought that the Bishop of London wanted to inspect his pants. The Duke wrote the Bishop back, saying: "My dear Bishop of London, It will always give me great pleasure to see you at Strathfieldsaye. Pray come there whenever it suits your convenience, whether I am at home or not. My servant will receive orders to show you so many pairs of breeches of mine as you wish ; but why you should wish to inspect those that I wore at the battle of Waterloo is quite beyond the comprehension of yours, most truly, Wellington." Now when this surprising not reached the Bishop of London, he showed it to the Archbishop of Canterbury and to other discreet persons. They thought the great Duke of Wellington had lost his mind. Eventually, the whole matter got straightened out. But from that day forward, the incident became known as the story of the "Waterloo Breeches". And, we wouldn't have it - without John Claudius Loudon. Thanks for listening to the daily gardener, and remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."
We journey back 15 years to an event that changed many lives that takes us back to the 1800's.

The Trans-Pacific Partnership is a trade agreement reached last year between the United States and 11 other Pacific-Rim nations. The deal was signed earlier this year, but congressional ratification faces substantive and political obstacles in 2016–and possibly well beyond.Like all U.S. free-trade agreements, the TPP is not free trade, but managed trade. It achieves reductions in many trade barriers, while creating and prolonging other forms of protectionism. Does that mean free traders should oppose them? After all, past agreements have reduced domestic impediments to trade, expanded our economic freedoms, and locked in positive reforms, even if only as the residual byproduct of an ill-premised mercantilist process. Ultimately, free trade agreements have delivered freer trade.If the agreement as written delivers more liberalization than protectionism and can be considered "net liberalizing," then it is credible to argue that free traders should support ratification of the TPP. Whether they do, then, depends on their capacity to not make the perfect the enemy of the good.At this policy event, U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman will present his case for the TPP, which will be followed by a panel discussion of the Cato Institute's TPP assessment and a second panel discussion of the substantive and political obstacles to ratification.Download the abstract of the forthcoming Cato publication: "Should Free Traders Support the Trans-Pacific Partnership?

This week, friend of the show and friend of Jonathan, William Watson is back to help review the books for New Comic Book Day 04/06/2016 and look ahead to 04/13/2016. Instead, as often happens when these two get together, the rambling starts almost immediately. They rambled about so many things, they even forgot to mention that Bloodlines #1 came out this week and they liked it. The proper Ramble On covers Zack's question around DC's Rebirth, and the two focus their likes, dislikes, and surprises mostly around those books that are being solicited this month in PREVIEWS.
Episode 50 this week is an intimate, one-side coversation between you and Jonathan, you listen (and we thank you for that) and he meanders and tries to make a point (which is par for the course). Jonathan cover's titles that made it to the store for New Comic Book Day 09/02/2015, and looks ahead to 09/09/2015. It's listener mail bag again, you keep those questions and comments coming and we will continue to be grateful and use them. William Watson ask us what our most memorable surprise in a comic has been. We want to hear from you, so think about it and get back to us at comics@goaltered.com. In the meantime, superfan and King of Laredo @Zackfig on Twitter gives Jonathan another topic to consider: Tumblr comic fans, and how to turn them from likers and sharers to readers and buyers.
Jonathan can't speak right from the get go, but with the help of Carey and Fred, he is able to muddle through the items that made it to the store for New Comic Book Day 07/15/2015, and then look ahead to 07/22/2015. The Altered Egos Podcast crew takes their Ramble On time to ramble through past podcasts, answering an email from William Watson, why Jonathan reads #1 issues, and the potential impacting significance of the new Archie book. They also take time to revisit Episode 31 (Have Mic, Will Ramble) before finally comparing the Eisner nominations and Carey and Jonathan's picks to the actual winners that were announced at the 2015 San Diego Comic Con.
The Altered Egos Comics Podcast is augmented by the return of William Watson, and together with Carey and Jonathan, they give you the low down on books that came in this week, 06/03/2015, and those to be on the look out for next New Comic Book Day, 06/10/2015. Before getting to their recommendations, the intrepid trio embark on the much-anticipated in-depth review of Agengers: Age of Ultron. In fact, they ramble so long on AAoU, that the ramble is broken into 2 parts. Be sure to tune in next week for the second half of their review.
The first episode is rough and long. Voices formerly heard on The Comic Dojo, Jonathan Bates and William Watson, are here talking about comics. This first of a weekly podcast talks about comics hitting the shelf September 24th, 2014, as well as product expected to be in shops on October 1st, 2014. The duo then ramble on about Guardians of the Galaxy.
