 Georgetown Traditions: What's A Hoya?
 The origins of the word Hoya defy simple explanation. Over the years,
 some
 have claimed it is an Indian word, while those of a legal mind thought it
 related to the French word oyez, the traditional opening of judicial
 sessions. Still others held that with Georgetown's location along a river,
 Hoya might be an offshoot of the nautical ahoy. None of these claims have
 held water, so to speak.
 The official explanation holds that there was a baseball team at Georgetown
 called the Stonewalls. It is suggested that a student, applying Greek and
 Latin, dubbed the team the hoia saxa-- hoia is the Greek neuter plural for
 what or what a, while saxa is the Latin neuter plural for rock.
 Substituting a y for an i; hoya saxa literally means what rocks.
 To this day, however, no one has proven exactly when and under what
 circumstances the yell originated. While there was a Stonewalls team
 between
 1866 and 1873, an actual reference to the team is pure speculation. Some
 have held that hoia saxa referred not to the team but its surroundings--the
 team's field (the present site of Copley Lawn) was bounded by the College
 Walls along 37th street. One theory holds that words such as saxa (Latin
 for
 rocks) were scribbled on the walls for years and a similar phrase may
 have
 simply been adopted by fans of the baseball team.
 The Hoya yell gained additional attention in 1920. In that year, a
 fledgling
 student newspaper known as The Hilltopper petitioned Rev. Coleman Nevils,
 S.J., Dean of the College, to change its name to The HOYA, a name said to
 be
 more representative of the University. Nevils, who had championed naming
 the
 Holy Cross student paper The Hoia without success in 1916,
 enthusiastically approved the change.
 As the college paper was often cited by sportswriters covering Georgetown
 sports in the 1920's, it took only a few years for a nickname to be born.
 By
 the fall of 1928, a HOYA sportswriter began to refer to the football team
 as
 the Hoyas rather than its contemporary nickname of the Hilltoppers. The
 change was picked up by local writers as basketball season began, and Hoyas
 became the official Georgetown nickname within a few years.
 Among all college programs, only Georgetown University holds this unique
 team nickname to which its students, faculty, alumni, and fans can take
 pride in. But the Hoya yell did find its way into the fight songs of two
 other Jesuit colleges: Holy Cross' Hoiah, Holy Cross, and Marquette's
 Ring Out Ahoya. Each appears to have its roots, however distant, in the
 yell begun on a college yard many years ago. In short, Hoya may be
 difficult to define, but its tradition endures.

 And that's what it's all about.

 New jack pine seedlings grow well after a hot fire. Fire causes the cone
of an older jack pine tree to open up and release seeds. Cones that need
heat, such as the heat from fire, in order to open are called serotinous
cones http://techalive.mtu.edu/meec/module11/glossary.htm#cones. When the
heat causes the cones to open, seeds are released and fall to the ground
(see animation below).

In Michigan, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) lights fires in the

Senator from OR, Wyden, is in an uproar that forest service does not reduce the 
underbrush enough to keep fires from becoming catastrophic, but they will 
splurge on airframes to toss water on things.  And with the sequester, there 
are going to be fewer hired on as seasonal fire fighters.  Instead the solution

When my son and I drove our '83 240D home from LA we took US20 all the

I suspect a lot of that has to do with where here and there are. 
To get the ground to turn into glass here in New England would 
require tremendous heat as even when its very dry its still fairly 
wet. If you were already starting from fairly dry I suspect that 
you'd require less heat to dry things out before glassifying and 
your forests would burn much more readily and more easily create 
more heat. As you've got a lot less under brush I'd bet the winds 
whip up a lot better in a fire too.


Huge regional variation across this great land of ours yet it seems 
like our political idiots feel like one management schema always 
makes the most sense.

Hoya, Hoya, Hoya

When I took Scout leadership training, one instructor was blathering 
on about how a Boy Scout troop out primitive camping had to carry 
along some portable fire pit because building a camp fire would turn 
the ground to glass and nothing would grow for 1000 years.  I really 
wanted to keep saying Hoya from the back row repeatedly.  I held my 
tongue, but it is discouraging to hear BSA espousing such BS.  If 
that were true, our country would be nearly covered with burnout 
marks from campfires.


I used to build huge bonfires with fenceposts in the fall for 
hayrides.  In the spring the area would be covered with weeds.  We 
burned there 10-20 times a year for decades.  When we quit, the area 
was soon covered with grass.


There may be sandy areas where you might be able to build a fire hot 
enough to melt sand into glass, but I've never seen it.  In most of 
the country, the ground is too moist to ever get very hot.

Jack Pine is Michigan's example.
Since Kirkland's Warbler pretty much exclusively nests in Jack Pine forests, the 
 foolish attempts to prevent regular forest fires (so we get much larger but 
less frequent fires instead) are making it hard for the bird to remain viable as 
a species.

What you say, Curt, is true for small forest fires, those that don't get
very hot. For very large, very hot fires, however, that is not true. The

In a prior life I had some responsibility for the test range at Eglin AFB in
the FL panhandle.  We accidently started a lot of fires there with various
munitions tests.  In most cases, the fires were simply allowed to burn
themselves out.   The professional range management group (AKA Jackson
Guard) also used controlled burns to manage the remaining excess buildup of
fuel, which could cause dangerous fires.  There was an endangered species
that had a great deal of habitat on that range: the red cockaded woodpecker.
The interesting part was that the woodpecker nests were always located on
the periphery of our cleared bombing areas.  It turned out that this
endangered species only nested in areas where excess ground cover had been
burned off but the old trees survived.

But FL is not NM (where I also have lived).  Burned-off areas in FL re-grow
almost immediately, especially if the large trees survived the fire (typical
unless excess fuel was present).  Not so in the arid areas of the Southwest
US.

I suspect a lot of that has to do with where here and there are. To get the 
ground to turn into glass here in New England would require tremendous heat as 
even when its very dry its still fairly wet. If you were already starting from 
fairly dry I suspect that you'd require less heat to dry things out before 
glassifying and your forests would burn much more readily and more easily 
create more heat. As you've got a lot less under brush I'd bet the winds whip 
up a lot better in a fire too.

2013-06-04 Thread clay
I concur.   Fire has its place.  The issue Max points out is that by inhibiting 
the natural process of fires, in an attempt to save the pretty trees, the fuel 
load increases to the point that a forest that evolved to handle fires becomes 
one that is now killed by fires.  The fuel load increases the intensity of the 
fire to the point that trees explode, instead of having their bark take the 
lesser fires it evolved with.  SO a managed forest becomes an inferno instead 
of a place where fire culls the under story, allows for more light and the 
addition of useful carbon into the soil, while removing pests and providing 
fresh forage for residents.What the goobermint was trying to avoid becomes 
the reality.

only open with fire to release seeds is one of those lies.  Have you ever seen

another lie.  Fire is terribly destructive.  Controlled burns can be beneficial 
in that they can remove fuel to prevent a worse fire in the future, but they

The difference is this:  In the 68-73 period when the coming ice 
age was the fear, there was some actual science, but projected too 
far out.  In that time period, nobody figured out how to monetize the 
scare.  A decade or so later when the cooling trend naturally 
moderated, Albore and friends figured out a way to monetize it, but 
also how to use it to grow a tyrannical gummit, and subjugate all the 
sheeple.  After that trend also naturally mitigated, the albore crowd 
had to change their battle cry to climate change, but the purpose 
stayed the same.  Monetize and subjugate.


There is not enough recorded history to establish an SPC chart to 
show if the process is out of control or in control.  As Deming said, 
(paraphrased) be careful not to mistake normal variation for special 
cause variation.  The albore crowd seems to think this admonition 
does not apply to them.  It does.  It is like the laws of Physics. 
They apply universally.  So does normal variation vs special cause 
variation.


Beware of scams and scamsters.  The albore crowd are scammers and worse.

Awesome, Craig.

Used to live in NM as a kid; Rio Rancho and Corrales, until I was about 12, 
moved from Fairbanks, AK when my dad was transferred to Kirkland AFB. 

Love the Balloon Fiesta, parents were a part of a chase crew we'd drive all 
over the state in a 50s Chevy pickup, to refuel them on their hops. 

Sorry to embark on a trip of nostalgia, while you're skirting danger. Just 
haven't been back in ages... 

Stay safe

No problem. It was much closer in 2011 with the Las Conchas fire.


 Stay safe

My son lives in ABQ - he is chief pilot (lear35) there.
We should drive either your '78 or my '84 240D out there for a visit.
He likes Cafe Bella - they pull shots with Fat Boy Roastery coffee.
