Glacialmarine facies relations in the lower Androscoggin Valley, southwest Maine

A facies model is proposed for late Wisconsinan glaciomarine deposits in the lower Androscoggin Valley that includes for lithofacies assemblages that are defined by morphology and detailed stratigraphic and sedimentologic analysis. The end moraine facies assemblage includes subglacial and resedimented diamicton, and interbedded and locally deformed sand and gravel beds. The sediments from linear ridges which are former grounding line positions of the tidewater glacier margin. The submarine outwash fan facies assemblage commonly drapes or flanks the end moraine assemblage. In proximal regions of the fan, gravel, bedded sand, and diamicton lithofacies predominate and represent rapid deposition at the mouth of the meltwater tunnel by fluvial and mass flow processes. Distal and lateral to the ice margin, fan sediments consist of graded and cross-laminated sands deposited from suspension. The shallow marine facies assemblage consists of well-sorted tidal to subtidal sand lithofacies, poorly sorted gravelly and bouldery lad deposits on moraine crests, and lagoonal muds. Collectively, these lithofacies were deposited as a result of reworking previously deposited sediments during isostatic emergence

Neural Correlates of Spatial Attention and Target Detection in a Multi-Target Environment

Our ability to attend and respond in a multi-target environment is an essential and distinct human skill, as is dramatically demonstrated in stroke patients suffering from extinction. We performed an fMRI study to determine the neural anatomy associated with attending and responding to simultaneously presented targets. In healthy subjects, we tested the hypothesis that the right intraparietal sulcus (IPS) is associated both with the top-down direction of attention to multiple target locations and the bottom-up detection of multiple targets, whereas the temporo-parietal junction (TPJ) is predominantly associated with the bottom-up detection of multiple targets. We used a cued target detection task with a high proportion of catch trials to separately estimate top-down cue-related and bottom-up target-related neural activity. Both cues and targets could be presented unilaterally or bilaterally. We found no evidence of target-related neural activation specific to bilateral situations in the TPJ, but observed both cue-related and target-related neural activation specific to bilateral situations in the right IPS and target-related neural activity specific to bilateral situations in the right inferior frontal gyrus (IFG). We conclude that the IPS and the IFG of the right hemisphere underlie our ability to attend and respond in a multi-target environment.This work was supported by the fortüne-Programm of the Medical Faculty of the University of Tübingen (2003-0-0) and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (KA 1258/10-1 and HA 5839/3-1)

[Transcription begins] Nov 9th, 1942 Bryant Service Club Bryant College Providence, R.I. Gentlemen: My sons’ address is now, Tech/Sgt. Fred A. Bither Hq. III Armored Corps. Camp Polk, La It might interest the school to know that he is chief clerk to the commanding general and received five stripes at once for exceptional ability in his work. The giving of five stripes at one time is an unusual procedure in the Army I believe. Just thought this spoke well for the school from which he graduated! Sincerely yours, (Mrs.) Gertrude M.
