2010 AWARD WINNERS SELECTED!
Nominations for 2011 will begin August 1.
Military Times Service Members of the Year
Each year, Military Times honors five "Everyday Heroes" -- service members who demonstrate pride, dedication and courage beyond what is expected. These service members show concern for their fellow service members, their community and the country they serve. Many of the candidates are often overlooked and have gone unrecognized. Nominations may be submitted by any of our readers – including parents, fellow service members, supervisors and commanding officers -- making this grassroots award unique from any other awards given to members of our Armed Forces.
Winners are recognized online, in the Military Times newspapers and at a ceremony in Washington, D.C., which is attended by officials from the service member's command, members of Congress and senior Pentagon officials.
HISTORY
The award was established in 2001 by Army Times Publishing Company. The initial program highlighted exemplary achievement by a service member beyond the call of duty, but has since been expanded to include the following criteria:
•High level of professionalism
•Concern for fellow service members
•Commitment to community service
CRITERIA FOR SELECTIONNominees must be serving in the military (active duty, Guard or Reserve) through August 2010 with exceptional service or achievements occuring between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009.
SELECTION PROCESS
Army Times Publishing Company, through the respective marketing and editorial staffs of each service's publication (Army Times, Navy Times, Air Force Times and Marine Corps Times), will make the Military Times Service Members of the Year selections from among the nominations received. Finalists will be contacted in June of 2010.

The Agromyzidae (mining flies) are a highly diverse dipteran family of exclusively phytophagous species. The world fauna consists of about 2,750 species.

Chironomidae Larvae Key to the Higher Taxa and Species of the Lowlands of Northwestern Europe
The Chironomidae form a cosmopolitan family of small nematocerous flies represented by some 1,300 species in the West Palaearctic Region. Chironomid larvae are widely distributed and the vast majority have aquatic juvenile stages which, on average, comprise one third of the invertebrate species in freshwater habitats. This usual abundance, and the fact that a number of species are pollution-tolerant, make chironomidae ideal indicator species in monitoring the quality of surface waters.
