It was a very common scene to be in Alexandria or Hains Point and see a scum of algae pretty much across the river. July 16, 2006

• The Kansas City Preventive Patrol Experiment (p)(f)
  This landmark experiment found that traditional routine patrol in marked police cars does not appear to affect the level of crime. Nor does it affect the public’s feeling of security. The experiment demonstrated that urban police departments can successfully test patrol deployment strategies, and that they can manipulate patrol resources without jeopardizing public safety. 1972

• The NEW Mall at Laurel (f)
  The architect presented a slide show explaining how they turned to Laurel's unique history for new design elements. Georgian architectural elements lifted from the train station. Brick facades and stone are reminiscent of Laurel's early mills. Lots of brick, wrought iron and features from turn of the century color palettes. The pageantry of Thoroughbred horse racing lend an air of fun and color to a children's playground. Jan 30, 2007

• The Probabilistic Projection of Climate Risk - D2M (f)
  The last 15 years have seen much research on decadal to multidecadal (D2M) climate modes and their global and regional impacts. At least some of these D2M modes suggest compelling climatic and ecological impacts. Both the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) are associated with alternating trans-decadal regimes in precipitation and drought frequency, which appear to be sensitive to small but persistent changes in the prevalent atmospheric circulation patterns over the continental regions adjacent to the oceans that mediate the oscillations. 2005 [This is not an argument Against Global Warming]
