Emily Jo Williams Returns to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Southeast Region as Migratory Bird Chief
June 7, 2011
- Tom MacKenzie, FWS, firstname.lastname@example.com, (404) 679-7291
Emily Jo 'EJ' Williams is returning to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Southeast Region in Atlanta, as Chief of Migratory Birds where she will be responsible for migratory bird-related programs, permitting, and coordination.
"I am extremely happy to have EJ back with the Service here in the Southeast," said Cynthia Dohner, Southeast Regional Director for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. "Her expertise and knowledge of both the region's people and wildlife are a big plus for us all."
EJ is a native Georgian who grew up in Waynesboro with a strong connection to the outdoors and small town community activities. She attended the University of Georgia at Athens, earning Bachelors of Science and Masters of Science degrees in Wildlife Biology from the Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources. She is a Certified Wildlife Biologist and a graduate of, and coach for, the National Conservation Leadership Institute.
"I'm thrilled to be able to join the Fish and Wildlife Service as the Migratory Bird Chief for the Southeast. Bird conservation is my passion and working in the Southeast is exciting and rewarding. I think my experiences in the West and as part of a conservation non-profit organization have broadened my perspectives and will allow me to contribute substantially to the mission of the Fish and Wildlife Service."
In her new position she will be responsible for supporting the North American Bird Conservation Initiative, national Flyway Councils, technical and regulatory aspects of migratory bird conservation, and promoting migratory bird conservation on private lands by facilitating the delivery of the Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program and Bird Habitat Joint Venture partnerships. She will also promote science-based management of migratory birds on Southeast Region units of the National Wildlife Refuge System and through involvement with Landscape Conservation Cooperatives.
EJ rejoins the Service after serving as executive director for The Longleaf Alliance where she worked to restore the longleaf pine ecosystem across its range. At The Longleaf Alliance, she developed organizational policies and procedures to expand capacity in the areas of restoration and management, landscape partnership support, understory restoration, and regional coordination. She expanded the funding portfolio with the addition of over $1.3 million in grants, donations and funding agreements, and initiated a comprehensive update of their strategic plan. She also represented the organization regionally and nationally and participated in the America's Great Outdoors Initiative.
Prior to joining The Longleaf Alliance, EJ worked for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service from 2004-2009, as the Assistant Regional Director for Migratory Birds and State Programs in the Southeast Region in Atlanta and the Mountain Prairie Region in Denver, Colorado. She was active in strategically addressing the Service's responsibility to conserve and manage migratory birds including waterfowl, land birds, shorebirds and waterbirds through implementing national and international bird conservation plans. She provided leadership and guidance for eight Joint Venture partnerships that bring together partners and their resources to accomplish the landscape level planning, conservation design, and management needed to ensure healthy and sustainable populations of migratory birds. She supervised the Federal Assistance program that administers and supports over 14 grant programs to State Wildlife Agencies. EJ was a member of the National Advisory and Acceptance Team that evaluated and facilitated implementation of the 56 State Wildlife Action Plans.
EJ also worked for 14 years for the Georgia Wildlife Resources Division, first as a Regional Biologist in mountainous northeast Georgia and then as the state Partners in Flight Coordinator. There she developed and contributed to a swallow-tailed kite initiative, an international bird conservation partnership with the Cayman Islands, Forestry for Wildlife program to encourage stewardship of wildlife habitats by forest corporations, a statewide bird monitoring program, outreach and education programs, and acquisition of significant lands for wildlife conservation.
EJ is married to Detective John Murphy, Putnam County Sheriff's Department. Their daughter Jessica is a recent graduate of the School of Nursing at the Medical College of Georgia (MCG) and works as an Emergency Room Nurse at MCG Hospital in Augusta. Their Labrador retriever, Brac, is a valued hunting and all around companion, and their German Shepherd, Aska, helps John with narcotics investigations.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the principal federal agency responsible for conserving, protecting and enhancing fish, wildlife and plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. Visit the Service's website at http://www.fws.gov or http://www.fws.gov/southeast/

Yankees give themselves shot at top seed in region
Six runs from the sixth inning on, including two in the top of the ninth, sparked the Milroy Yankees to a 6-5 win over the Bird Island Bullfrogs on Friday in the Corn Belt League playoffs.
Riley Carpenter's fielder's choice in the ninth scored Eric Dolan, which proved to be the winning run, as Josh Hadley blanked the Bullfrogs in the bottom of the ninth.
Hadley picked up the win after holding Bird Island scoreless in 2 1/3 innings of relief work. Austin Deutz started for the Yankees, who will host Bird Island in the final game of the of the Corn Belt League playoffs at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday in Milroy.
Offensively, the Yankees slapped 12 hits off of two Bird Island pitchers, including five extra-base hits. Micah Gronli was 2-for-3 with a triple and drove in the tying run after being walked with the bases loaded in the ninth.
Matt Bauer slugged two doubles in a 3-for-5 night, while Andy Schmidt added a double to a 2-for-5 performance. Eric Dolan's lone hit of the game was a double in the ninth.
The Yankees, who guaranteed themselves a spot in the Region 11C playoffs with a 7-2 win over Sacred Heart on Wednesday, are now 17-4 on the summer and can claim the top seed in the region with a win on Sunday.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
Description"The Clymene dolphin is distinguished from the very similar spinner dolphin by the shortness of its beak and its color pattern. Like spinners, they ""spin,"" leaping high out the water and rotating (not a somersault, but a sideways roll) several times before splashing back into the water. Clymene dolphins feed on deep-water fish and squid, and except for stranded individuals, have only been seen in deep water. Sharks and large toothed whales such as killer whales, pygmy killer whales, and false killer whales probably prey on them. Often the dolphins have small white marks on their skin that are healed shark bites. The species was first mentioned to in scientific literature with the description of a skull in the 19th century. No one was able to describe the Clymene dolphin scientifically until the 1970s, when some of them stranded in Texas and New Jersey."

Gas stories from the PastPosted Wednesday, May 14, 2008, at 11:08 PM
The high price of gas seems to be the main topic of concern these days, and I thought it might be nice to have a bigger forum on the topic. I've been trying to remember what the prices were when I was a kid, cruising the streets of Dexter in our 1953 Ford station wagon. (Yeah, pretty cool, huh?) Around and around the Pig we'd go, with the fan belt screeching and the car full of girls.. Wow, we were really in the big time!
I looked it up, and according to at least one website, I was probably paying about 31 cents per gallon back then, and, as my good friend Goat Lady points out, that's about $2.19 by modern standards.
I don't know how many of you remember what gas was when you were young, but I asked my good friend, 93-year-old Paul Corbin, to share some of his gas memories from the past. The man is amazing, absolutely amazing. Those of you who get the North Stoddard Countian have probably enjoyed his bi-weekly columns and can attest to the impressiveness of his memory.
Here are some of his observations:
"Back in 1926 my father was driving a 1924 Model T and paying eleven cents per gallon for his gas. Oil was ten cents per quart. Back then you just about had to buy in even gallons of gas, because it was pumped up into a glass cylinder with markings that showed the number of gallons. Dad always complained about the price of 11 cents. He said, "If they would make it ten cents, then I could pump up five gallons, and the fifty cents worth would last me for nearly a month!"
Well, that 11-cent price didn't last long. By 1928 the price of gas went up to 15 cents, and the price of corn went down to 10 cents per bushel. This time Dad said, "They should have made that darn Ford so it would burn corncobs!"
With gas selling at the outrageous price of 15 cents a gallon, he drove that beautiful Model T out under the shade of the big sycamore tree, and that was the end of his driving career.
I bought my first vehicle in 1937. At that time you could still buy gas with pocket change. It was a common practice to pull into a station and buy 50 or 75 cents worth of gas at 18 cents per gallon, but the stations got tired of handling nothing but quarters and half dollars, so most of them ran a special price of six gallons for one dollar. This saved the customer 8 cents, and the stations were taking in folding money."
Of course, Paul Corbin remembered the gas rationing of World War II and the accompanying gas stamps. If you didn't have a stamp, you didn't get the gas!
Maybe I can find a photo of our old green Ford to post tomorrow night... In the meantime, feel free to post your car/gas stories from the past...(I'll be right back...)

When I was growing up we always bought our gas at "Hurlus's" (Cox's Grocery). Seems to me that it was always in the 20-29 cent range, unless they were having a "gas war" and then it would go down.
We lived at Hurlus's! Mom would drive up to the gas pumps, Hurlus would come out of the store smoking his cigar and Mom would say, "$10, Hurlus!"
I'd go in and snake one of those sodas out of that machine where you put your money in and slid the soda, and my brother would go to the "ice house" and get a bag of ice.
Marilyn would slice us a pound of Krey balogna and we'd be on our way again...until maybe later in the day.

When I lived in St. Louis in the very early seventies. I worked in a car wash, and we gave a free car wash with a sale of eight gallons or more of gas.
The Price of gas then was 26.9 cents per gallon.
-- Posted by mythought on Thu, May 15, 2008, at 8:37 AM
I remember gas was cheaper before...but I don't remember the price...was it 89 cents? I do remember, however, as I've posted before, that the day I graduated high school (May 23, 1999), gas was 99 cents per gallon. That seemed high then. Heck, prices weren't much different than they were then a couple years ago...yet we paid $2.79 a gallon. When I managed Casey's (that ended April 19, 2007), my lowest price was $1.89. It's amazing what a difference a year makes...and why is it gas could be SO low a year ago...but not now? Oh, how I miss filling up my truck for $15. My dad has some doosies too. He was born in the 40's, and remembers what my grandpa and uncle used to pay for diesel in their big trucks. Now, my husband spends over $4 a gallon, no matter where he goes. Thank God he's a company man and not an owner operator like my grandpa and uncle were.

I remember we lived in Indiana when my wife and I first married. Coming home through Cairo, we would stop at the bridge and buy gas for $.27 a gallon, buy a nickel bar of candy a 10 cent soda and head to Pemiscot County. You could fill-up for less than $5.00. Please Lord, bring back some of the good old days memories.

Back before we moved to Missouri in '91, I'd always schedule my gas stops in Missouri when driving from California or New Mexico to Illinois and back. It seems that gas prices have always been lower in Missouri. In fact I remember noticing that back in '77 on my way to my first year in Bible college in Rock Island, Illinois. We bought gas in St. Louis, but I can't remember how much it was.
-- Posted by swift on Thu, May 15, 2008, at 3:35 PM
Mom and Dad always talked about the rationing of gas and tires during WWII, and the unavailability of silk stockings, but I don't remember exactly how it all went.
Why didn't we TAKE NOTES??? We should have known we'd want to know these things, after our parents were gone!
-- Posted by goat lady on Thu, May 15, 2008, at 6:02 PM
Well it seems like most people during the gas rationing recieved an "A" sticker. Which only allowed them 3 or 4 gallons of gas a WEEK.
If it happens again and that's all the gas I can get, I better start planning a little better. Making sure I don't forget anything, and do everything I need to do while I'm in town.
I can't imagine it. But back then cars really weren't used for as much as they are today. People then were lucky if they had one vehicle. These days some people have 2 or 3 a piece.
I looked in my daughter's baby book, in 2001 when she was born, gas was $0.97 a gallon. I could fill our little 4 cylinder up for under $20. Not anymore, I put in $10 and don't even get 3 gallons.

Just prior to the great OPEC oil embargo that ended forever "cheap" gas in the U.S., I ran out of gas and discovered I'd forgotten my wallet. I scrounged around and found 10 cents under the car seat, so I "filled her up" with a dime worth of gas. It was enough to get me home across town.

When I was in high school gas was about 20-25 cents a gallon. One girl had a car. We'd turn our pockets out and pool all our money to buy her gas. Most of the time we had between $1.50 and $2.00. We got a lot of cruisin' out of that money. With us it wasn't the Pig, it was the Tastee Freeze.
This weekend I gassed up my little 4 cylinder Subaru and dropped $39.50 for not quite a full tank of gas. Ouch.

The "BELL RINGER".
The hit that makes you fall in love with this great game we call FOOTBALL.
It makes up your mind for you. Either you get up quickly and head to the locker room, change your clothes and go home , never to return OR... you take your time getting up, you soak it all in....everything you're feeling at that moment (pain, numbness, dizziness, exhillaration, astonishment), then you look at the guys around you and explode into the fury that says "OH YEAH, I GOTTA HAVE MORE!"
It's the rule of First Contact. The Decisive First Big Hit. You'll either be scared away or you'll be lured in by the fact that man, now that's over I'm ready for more.
Once again, FOOTBALL IS A PASSION THAT BORDERS ON ADDICTION. Once you taste it you want more...

The effects of mindfulness training and individual differences in mindfulness on social perception and empathyTipsord, Jessica M., 1980- (University of Oregon, September , 2009)[more][less]Tipsord, Jessica M., 1980- 2010-05-10T23:42:57Z 2010-05-10T23:42:57Z 2009-09 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/10357 xv, 173 p. : ill. A print copy of this thesis is available through the UO Libraries. Search the library catalog for the location and call number. Both Buddhist scholars and psychological researchers have suggested that mindfulness practice may result in greater empathy, but previous research has found mixed results. In addition, Buddhist philosophy suggests that mindfulness should influence the perception of and felt connection to others. Little research, however, has examined such an influence. The present studies examined the effect of dispositional mindfulness, as well as short- and long-term mindfulness meditation practice, on trait and state empathy, social perception, and felt connection to others. Study 1 manipulated mindfulness with a guided meditation CD and found that participants in this condition experienced more serenity and less negative emotion relative to control conditions. Study 1 also clarified the relationship between dispositional mindfulness (measured with the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire), empathy (Interpersonal Reactivity Index), and felt connection (Allo-Inclusive Identity Scale). Results showed that different facets of mindfulness had different correlates. Higher observing scores were related to greater empathic concern and perspective taking; higher nonreactivity scores were related to less personal distress; and higher describing scores were associated with greater felt connection to others. Mindfulness was also associated with social perception such that higher nonreactivity scores were associated with greater ease in making emotion inferences from short video clips and higher describing scores were associated with making more mental state inferences in a modified empathic accuracy task. In Study 2, a randomized 8-week mindfulness intervention caused increases in dispositional mindfulness, especially describing scores, relative to a waitlist control condition. The intervention also resulted in increased serenity and joy and decreased negative affect and tension. Except for changes in serenity, these changes were fully mediated by increases in dispositional mindfulness. Those in the intervention condition decreased in personal distress to others' suffering, increased in the amount of mental state inferences they made for empathic accuracy targets, and increased in their ability to make inferences at times when the targets were actually having a thought or feeling. Thus, mindfulness training not only resulted in intrapersonal changes such as greater serenity and less tension; it also increased cognitive and emotional abilities important for empathy toward other people.

Long Brown Hair in a Knot of Circlets
A thick, wide, brown fringe in a bowl cut practically covers the forehead up to the eyebrows and the sides of the head. Where the fringe ends, the longer hair are dyed in sections, sporting different shades of brown and blonde. These are then worked into circlets hanging down chain-style from the head on both sides, with one fat link colored differently from the one above and below it. The end is a knot of differently colored circlets hanging heavily at the waist.

A unique type of music will make its way to Union College this week, introducing a local audience to a style that blends
traditional folk music with South American rhythms.
"Appalatin," a band that plays Latin-infused folk music, is slated for a one-night-only performance on Thursday, March 21 at 7:30 p.m. The concert will be in Rector Little Theatre and is free and open to the public. Seating is limited.
"Appalatin," is a band that "fluently combines the sounds and styles indigenous to Latin music with that of Appalachian folk music," according to the band's website. Made up of six members hailing from five different countries, the band is now based in Louisville, and is making a name for itself in the Appalachian music world.
Throughout the performance, "Appalatin" will play some original music, along with some well known cover songs, which include "Shady Grove," "Wagon Wheel" and "La Bamba." All of the music is played using acoustic instrumentation featuring classic Appalachian instruments alongside traditional Native instruments.
Jim Rubin, Ph.D., spokesperson for Union's Arts and Culture Committee, said hearing this band is a great opportunity for any music lover.
"The 'Appalatin' band offers a wide range of original music that bridges Latin and American folk traditions," Rubin said. "The six members of the band are from Kentucky and Latin America and offer local music lovers a rare chance to hear this unique music blend."

Does this sound familiar?
"I can't save any money."
"I won't be able to retire."
"I don't make enough money."
"Investing is too hard."
As a financial advisor, I've heard all these statements before and, I'll admit, I've even caught myself saying them on occasion. (I mean, who hasn't?) Most of us have negative stories we tell ourselves about money, and excuses for why we can't succeed financially, especially when a lot of the money advice we hear seems impossible or inapplicable.
Funding an emergency account and saving 10-20 percent annually in retirement accounts isn't easy if you're living paycheck to paycheck or struggling to pay off debt. In fact, it can seem impossible. If you have money to invest, but no idea where to start, the range of investing options can seem overwhelming. Inexperience and negative messaging can paralyze you from financial progress and even perpetuate unhealthy money behavior.
Whatever your situation may be, letting go of old excuses that enable bad habits and adopting a new, more positive money mindset is the first step in achieving your financial goals. The next steps all depend on your own circumstances, but here are basic tips for saving and growing money for three different financial situations:
- You're digging your way out of debt.
- You're breaking even.
- You have extra money but you're not sure what to do with it. (And, yes, some tips may overlap.)

December 11: Flavors 8 w/ JROCC and DJ Spinna @ Echoplex
December 18: Muse w/ Phantogram @ Staples Center
February 26: Diane Coffee @ The Echo
March 24: David Gilmour @ Hollywood Bowl
SIGNED! Saw them in San Fran just under a year ago and they destroyed, also helped to see them in a relatively intimate enclosed venue with great sound. That being said, the Sahara summons them for '11.
Think back to Underworld playing before Radiohead up NYC back in 2008. I really don't want them playing to a crowd full of people just bobbing their heads, waiting for the headliner to come on (and if the average coachella crowd this past year was any indication, thats exactly what it would be like).
The only EDM act that could (and should) play on the mainstage is Daft.
Prodigy should not play on a stage before another act. They should play in the dance tent. MAYBE they could close out the outdoor theatre, but they are much much MUCH more suited for closing the Sahara.
And again, if you dont believe me, go look up YT videos of Underworld's set at APW. That's what it would be like if they did the mainstage.
And their material has always worked better live. Also, their shows in 2002 are nothing like they are now. The shows I saw in 2009 were full of energy and fucking rocked. The new material was absolutely insane live.
I support this thread.
The gig I saw last month in Belgium they played the main stage before... wait for it... Snow Patrol O_o And there were still pits the size of tennis courts. Talk about a crowd change.
Anyway, Coachella is a generally passive festival compared to most. Betao is spot on with his assessment.
The Prodigy is one of those groups that really thrives off of the crowd so they work best in whatever space accommodates condensing those passionate fans to create that atmosphere. That space is not a main stage in the states.
And Omen is completely badass live. For their stage production think less lasers and more copious banks of seizure-level strobe and spot lights.

One of the most intense concert openings I've ever witnessed; this is what they were opening their shows up with during some of the 2006 tours:
I'd support Prodigy to close out the Sahara only if there wasn't a headliner I wanted to see playing at the same time. If someone lame headlines one night though, Prodigy is going to be way too packed in the tent.
Now your talking my language. Full support for them to close out any night on Sahara or Main-stage
one of my favorite music vids of all time
no thanks..
would love to have them at coach but Sunday's closer will indeed be a couple guys from essex, just not these guys.
Rhythm is a dancer.
Fine. Then Saturday closer.
Prodigy as a Sahara Sunday closer? Already happened in 2005. Boring....
I'm not sure how Prodigy is these days but the Fat of the Land Tour in 1997 was fucking fantastic and intense! Saw him at Metro in Chicago and he's one edm act I would like to see again. I've never seen Underworld so that would be cool too but I think I would prefer Prodigy.
fully support this!! whatever day it is...

Designed with 1-to-1 scale to accurately replicate the Kalashnikov AK-47, the most widely used assault rifle in the world, this marker satisfies the many requests received from military and police agencies for an opposing force weapon to enhance their training combat training simulations.
The RAM 47 is designed with the new Military Enhance Training System (METS). The new METS technology provides outstanding power and accuracy, propelling a paintball marking round over 70 yards with the muzzle velocity of 400 feet per second. The METS technology also provides two additional features that makes the weapon perform with much more realism. First, the marker needs to be cocked after each magazine reload, mimicking the standard operation of real-word firearms, and second, the marker ceases to operate when the magazine is emptied.
These features make for ideal training as they are tools to enhance an operators muscle memory in high-stress environments. The METS design is far superior to all previous releases with more reliability, more accuracy, and more power, and makes training as real as possible.
Key Features:
- Adjustable for semi- or fully-automatic fire
- Ambidextrous rate-of-fire selector switch
- Shell casings are ejected after each shot
- Clip-fed 25 round magazine
- Can be fully submerged in water
- Velocity of 350 fps to 450 fps (adjustable)
- All metal construction
- Simple to operate and easy to maintain
With all of these things to off, the new AK47 takes its place among the RAP4 product line as the final ingredient for a complete training solution.

By Kevin Grandia • Tuesday, August 26, 2008 - 11:11
On the ground sources at the Democratic National Convention are telling us that people aren't buying the clean coal propaganda being shoveled out by a major coal industry front group at the event.
As many have reported, including DeSmogBlog, a coal industry front group calling themselves the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity (ACCCE) is spending $2 million over the next couple of weeks aiming their coal is clean and green message at people attending the Democratic and Republican conventions.
One of our sources at the Dem's convention this week is telling us that even people hired by ACCCE to hand out free swag aren't buying into ACCCE's propaganda. Nancy Laplaca with Energy Justice told me this morning that when one of the women hired by ACCCE to hand out
free t-shirts clean coal baubles was asked whether she believed coal can really be clean, she stated that she really doubted it.
When a guy wearing an ACCCE clean coal t-shirt was asked a similar question, he replied, "hey, it's only a t-shirt."
ACCCE will also be in St. Paul for the Republican convention next week.
Here's some facts on the dirty side of coal.

We need real evidence of fake grass :)
"Nancy Laplaca with Energy Justice told me this morning that when one of the women hired by ACCCE to hand out free t-shirts was asked whether she believed coal can really be clean, she stated that she really doubted it."
Argh! Now, I'm inclined to believe that this is true, but some really hard evidence of this will be nice – with so much fake grass flying around, one can never be too careful…
Put a name, or a face, or a voice recording to the people at the forefront of this campaign.

RE: Cynical Response
Well if they can't pitch the product this week I'm sure they'll have little difficulty next week and the other convention in Minneapolis.
Brad replied on Permalink
Huh- Kevin - that's strange....
ACCCE isn't even handing out t-shirts in Denver.
So before you decide to relay so called misstatements by folks on the street, check your sources and make sure they are credible, unlike your blog.
Kevin Grandia replied on Permalink
I have heard from at least 5 independent sources that they are. I will check again, but this post is based on the info I received and corroborated with others.

ACCCE shirts
Minor correction - ACCCE was not handing out free t-shirts - the ACCCE staff were wearing t-shirts handing out free ACCCE marketing swag (i.e. pieces of coal painted green). This minor detail in no way changes the fact that even people who have been hired by ACCCE are cynical about their over-the-top coal is clean message.
Brad replied on Permalink
Again...more misinformation
Wow. This blog is about as credible as its "sources on the streets."
ACCCE is not handing out green pieces of coal either.
What I've witnessed are people on the streets receiving materials, asking lots of good questions and are learning the importance of coal as part of this country's energy future.
Needless to say, thousands of people now have a better understanding of where our electricity comes from and the fact we have domestic sources of fuel like coal to keep electricity secure and affordable.
Further evidenced by both candidates' support of coal and the funding of clean coal technology.
It's been a great week!!!
Now on to Minneapolis.

The pure truth filled purely with purity!
Brad is absolutely right! I, too, managed to witness the pure observed fact that Thousands Of People asked Lots Of Good Questions and obtained a Better Understanding of the importance of Clean "Coal Is Clean" Coal! I achieved this by standing around listening to all the questions from the thousands of people, and counting the thousands of people.
There were about 31,000 people, I think. Or 36,000. Or 50,000.
Though I'm a staunch libertarian who voted Republican every time (except for Gore), makes it a point to waste energy, forgo recycling, and destroy habitats… yet I, too, support the call for alternative energy, and that includes Clean Coal!
Steve L replied on Permalink
I call for an audit!
Can you confirm that none of the green coal lumps was given away? You work for ACCCE, right? How many green lumps were made and how many do you have now?
PS. In case you take this seriously, I don't care.

Clean coal - not only
Clean coal - maybe. But there are many other issues and it would be a mistake if only clean coal was on the climate change agenda. I found a whole heap of other issues that I wasn't aware of at www.climatechangetriage.net, which I heartily recommend to all our readers

Rick, you forgot that this site was brought to you by The Internet, which was of course invented (or pushed forward) by Al Gore the Antichrist and Big Government. Maybe you guys should try inventing your own information infrastructure that's free from every taint of Un-Freedom, Un-Capitalism, and Un-Unbiasedness.

Duka Speaks On His Return
The Columbus Dispatch - September 26, 2012 04:22 PM
When the Crew was visiting rival Chicago for a crucial Eastern Conference match Saturday, one of its key players was alone nearly 800 miles away. After leaving the team for what he and the club have termed "personal reasons," midfielder Dilly Duka took in the 2-1 loss by himself from his home in New Jersey.
"Watching the game, I thought we played well," he said after today's training session at Crew Stadium. "I thought we created chances and we were just unlucky when it came to finishing them and putting them away. I thought it was a good game and it's a good game to build off of."
I will have more on Duka in tomorrow's paper, but today marked the first chance to speak with him since the weekend and not all the details could fit in my story.
The whole situation seemed to start when Duka was subbed off in the 57th minute of last Wednesday's home win against Chivas USA. Duka quickly headed to the locker room, and a few fans on Twitter seated on that side of the stadium told me the midfielder looked less than happy as he left the field. In his 18 appearances this season (14 starts), Duka has gone the full 90 minutes just once: the Crew's 4-3 win against New England on August 25.
In his final three appearances, Duka's playing time has diminished – from 75 minutes at New England to 65 minutes at New York to the 57 against Chivas. After that game, head coach Robert Warzycha said opponents sometimes figure out certain players, forcing his hand to make a substitution. It does not, he pointed out, mean that particularly player is not talented.
I asked Duka what happened after he came out of the match.
"I got subbed out," he said. "My day was done. I sat on the bench for a bit and talked to a trainer. Just when they were about to bring out the ice I said, 'you know what? It makes sense if I just go into the locker room.' "
The next day, Duka said, he mentioned to the coaches that he might need some time away. He reached a definitive conclusion Friday and headed home. Duka then returned Monday and was in uniform when the Crew resumed training the following day, scoring an impressive goal during 9v9 scrimmaging.
Today, he was on the second unit as the Crew went through an intrasquad scrimmage at Crew Stadium. I asked if he felt he had to prove he deserved to be a starter again.
"I think the coaches know what every player is made out of, but also your sharpness counts," he said. "You have to be sharp in training before the game. They're going to put the best 11 who are going to represent the team. You have to be sharp in the days leading up to the game."

Food Habits
The diet consists mainly of fruit, especially figs. Various species of figs ripen at different times in the year, and the movement pattern of the animals can largely be explained by their following this process. Bornean orangutans will also eat other kinds of vegetation, such as leaves, bark, buds, and flowers. They will also occasionally eat mineral-rich soil, insects, and possibly eggs and small vertebrates. They drink by reaching into tree holes and lapping water from their hands.

Micron Technology, a leading producer of dynamic random access memory (DRAM), recently announced that it would start to mass produce DDR2 memory using 68nm fabrication process early next year and DDR3 in the second half of the year. The new fabrication process will allow Micron to reduce the manufacturing costs of DDR2 and also release memory chips compliant to PC3-12800 (DDR3 1600MHz) specification.
The first breed of chips that will take advantage of 68nm process technology at Micron will be mainstream 1Gb DDR2 chips, which now have die size of just 56mm², thanks to new fabrication process along with Micron's 6F² technology, the company indicated. Mass production of its new 68nm 1 Gb DDR2 products is expected to begin early next year. Clock-speed of the new memory chips is unclear.
DDR3 and other low-power DRAM products made using 68nm fabrication process are expected to follow DDR2 in the second half of the year 2008. Upcoming DDR3 products developed on the new process will allow for speeds up to 1600MHz. The 68nm process also provides approximately 20% lower power consumption when compared to previous process generations, said Micron.
While Samsung Electronics, the world's leading producer of DRAM, has been using 50nm process technology to make DDR2 memory, Micron is the first maker of memory chips to announce DDR3 at 1600MHz. Usually memory module producers pick up the best chips validated to work at lower clock-speeds, e.g., 1333MHz, and set them operating at 1600MHz
Future DDR3 chips designed on the 68nm process will join Micron's Aspen Memory family of energy-efficient products, which are specifically designed for applications where power reduction is desired such as data center servers and notebook computers.
"Micron continues leading the world in development of advanced memory technology. Our 68nm process technology offers our customers best-in-class die sizes, power and speed benefits for their most demanding applications," said Brian Shirley, vice president of Micron's memory group.

Recently Jos Hagelaars published a very extensive blog post (on the blog of Bart Verheggen) about a widely discussed paper of Klotzbach et al 2009. The title of the blog post – Klotzbach revisited – is in English, however, the post itself was written in Dutch. As a fellow Dutchman I understand that writing in Dutch is easier than writing in English. However, in this case, the blog post is focussed so much on one single paper, that Jos Hagelaars, in my opinion, should have chosen for an English version, in order to give the authors of the Klotzbach papers the chance to give a reaction. I translated the article with google translator and did some minor editing. I then shared the article with a few of the coauthors. John Christy looked at some of the issues raised by Hagelaars and wrote the following reaction which I publish here as a guest blog.
Guest blog by John Christy
In a blog post entitled "Klotzbach Revisited" Jos Hagelaars updated the results of Klotzbach et al. 2009, 2010, suggesting that the main point of Klotzbach was no longer substantiated. Klotzbach et al.'s main point was that a direct comparison of the relationship of the magnitude of surface temperature trends vs. temperature trends of the troposphere revealed an inconsistency with model projections of the same quantities. Klotzbach et al. offered suggestions for this result which included the notion that near-surface air temperatures are easily affected by factors unrelated to greenhouse gas increases, which then implies they may be poor proxies for detecting the magnitude of the greenhouse effect which has its main impact in the deep atmosphere.
It appears Hagelaars' key point is that when the data from Klotzbach et al. are extended beyond 2008 to include data through 2012, the discrepancies, i.e. the observed difference between surface and tropospheric trends relative to what models project, are reduced somewhat.

Where does "Purgatory" come from and why don't Christians believe in it?
I hope the title fits in the bar
So if the bible says "in a blink of an eye" you go to heaven, where does Purgatory come into play, or NOT? Can anyone explain this? Where is the proof(scripture)?
Oh, and Christians dont believe it because its BS.
Knows about Purgatory.
^this is what perfection looks like
In the ancient world the afterlife was much more complex then the Christian view. Most of these religions divided up their heavens and their hells to create degrees of, or levels of.
This sort of view was quite prevalent around the ancient world. Christianity has two fixed places. An afterlife in the presence of GOD, and an Afterlife outside of GOD.
The old view crept into the new view for two simple problems. The first was about what happens chronologically after death. For example...are people in heaven now? or does the judgement happen at some point after the end of the world, if so...where are the people kept whilst they wait for Judgement.
The answer is they are kept nowhere, because they move outside of the temporal realm. In Chronological terms Noone is in heaven because Judgement hasnt happened yet, but if you pass outside of time, time has no meaning, and thus you dont perceive a very long wait. To those who have died judgement, whenever it happens in chronology, feels to them instantaneous.
But the ancients and early Christians did not understand the concept of a realm without time. Thus the writters began to use different words. They spoke of "the dead" those who had died and were asleep...these were not in heaven, they were awaiting judgement, and simply slept in an almost athiestic type sleep of nothingness until the trumpets (or if you happened to be burried in Jerusalem during the original Holy Week, Christs Resurrection) awakes them.
When the Roman Church took over from the Early Church they wanted to get an EXACT and measurable idea of terms. What did "dead" actually mean. Purgatory took on different meanings depending on what time you lived in. in the oldest sence of the word, it was a place before heaven where the naughty christians would have to "atone" for their own sin. How that happened is quite unchristian. Usually it was a case, of exactly, like with burrial, the Christian remained in limbo until the Church said otherwise. Just like you could buy atonement for your sin, you could buy atonement for someone stuck in purgatory so they could get to heaven quicker.
Not even the Roman Catholic Church really believe in Purgatory anymore...in the same way that they now dont speak about the billions of Christians who died but didnt get a catholic burrial and so are supposedly barred from Heaven. The biblical basis is all built on that one false assumption that the Roman Catholic Church had power over eternal life thanks to Peter. If it follows that the Church can stop people from entering Heaven, there must be a new bit of the heavenly realm created where those souls await the pontiffs pleasure. This shows how one false assumption can lead to entire doctrines being unsound because they have a bad base.
The Reformation cracked that base...the base is this, that on top of Peter holding power over eternal happenings, all of his successors also do. There is NO basis for assuming what Peter had was passed on...infact, its probably not, because we know spiritual gifts arent usually passed on Genetically, or provided for an office. The problem is, to default on anything that was built on that premise is to deny the power of the Catholic Church...Sooo when the records show one pope changing his mind against a previous Pope...you have to ask yourself, how can that be, if all of them represent an UNCHANGING GOD, how can they contradict themselves?? You have to adhere to the doctrine of Purgatory, or else where do you claim souls, that are in despute with the Vatican, like excommunicated for example, go, whilst the dispute is sorted out prior to Judgement. You have to believe the doctrine of Apostolic Succession, because if thats unfounded, the Pope has no right to speak directly on behalf of Christ, and unless he does, how can what he say do the things the church claim. You HAVE to believe that anyone who fails to get a Roman Catholic Burrial, is in purgatory at best, and Hell at worst...because to deny that is to take away the Churches authority...and without that authority they are unmasked in a fraudulent capacity...not a heretical capacity, but in over exagerating their own power, pride, boastfulness, and an awful lot of strife and death over the world because people accidently believed they were telling thr truth.
Since they were prooved wrong scientifically, they have slowly been dropping all of these things, but quietly, because they have to drop them so people dont notice, or risk fragmentation...a fragmentation that occured at the Reformation, and still happens with little break away groups of Christians who dissagree about the latest liberalizations within the Roman church.
Why just last week the Vatican sought unity with the society of Pope Pius, which were so pissed off about Vatican Two Council, that THEY excommunicated Rome and started ordaining themselves and creating what they believed was the true Roman Church and leaving John Paul to Excommunicate them back for defying his authority The two sides presented each other with ordinariates...but suprise, suprise, they STILL couldnt aggree on the same issues...the Roman Catholics still demanded unswerving loyalty as GODs mouth piece, and the Lefebrevians still demanded the reversal of Vatican Two.
obviously neither would do either. I hasten to add that this attempt for unification came from the Vatican, NOT from the society, who turned down the offer of a special odinariate by John Paul, saying that the Catholic Church was no longer Catholic and thus they didnt want communion. Joseph Ratzinger happened to be prefect of the Congregation that dealt with the Churches official line on what was and what was not canon law. Ratzinger is about a traditional as you can get AND accept Vatican Two, so its noted that he has a soft spot for the traditionalistic group, he empathizes with them and lifted the excommunication on the remaining Bishops who were involved in the original consecration that led to the split. He has also tried to bring back the Pre-Vatican Two mass...unfortunately its in latin, and a lot of the priests in the last twenty years, dont even know latin thanks to Vatican Two. Joseph Ratzinger of course went on to replace John Paul as Pontiff, and is the present Holy Father of the Roman Church.
If anywhere is real Purgatory, it is life on Earth. Neither Heaven, Neither Hell, and the free will to sin, the circumstances to face the consequences of that sin, and the offer to grow and become more Christlike and be offered the gift of Eternal Salvation.
To me...The institution of Purgatory is non existant. Its an archaic construct of the Roman Church and a method they used to keep political and social control during the dark and middle ages....but it does aptly mention life on earth IMHO
To me, a Church that believes Purgatory, is as bad as one who denies that when Christ died on the cross he went to Hell. Lots of Christians try to belittle Christ, by denying one clear fact, IF he paid for our sin, he must have visited Hell, and he must have been their across from Good Friday afternoon, until Easter Sunday morning. The Truth is, that Christs going to Hell was actually what distroyed Hell, because Hells definition is a place outside of GOD...if GOD enters Hell then the whole domain ceases to Exist....or rather, it persists, but only under GODs will and his deliberate withdrawal
The ultimate idiots believe in Purgatory, and disbelieve the Christ was exhiled to Hell after his death.

State abortion law changes may be 'horrific'
Of all the troubling headlines I'm finding from Western New York these days, one headline trumps them all – the latest proposal by Gov. Andrew Cuomo to expand abortion law to include virtually an anything-goes policy.
Was there any outcry for late-term abortion rights in the state? Most know New York is far from conservative – especially on abortion policy. Americans United for Life ranks New York 48th in all states for having pro-life laws: no informed consent, no parental involvement, public funding for abortion encouraged. New York's abortion rate is almost double the national average.
Recent polling from the Chiaroscuro Foundation shows 70 percent of New Yorkers believe that there is sufficient access to abortion in New York at present, that non-physicians should not be allowed to perform abortions, and that there should not be an unlimited right to abortion through all nine months of pregnancy.
Killing a pre-born baby past 24 weeks is considered a homicide currently in New York – as it is in Pennsylvania). Why 24 weeks? One of the reasons is that the medical risks from abortion surgery increase exponentially as a pregnancy develops. For instance, using pro-choice minded Guttmacher Institute statistics, one death occurs for every 1 million abortions before week 8 compared to one death per 11,000 past 21 weeks.
This all in the wake of the recent death of a New York school teacher due to complications from her abortion at 33 weeks gestation. With all this evidence in mind, the governor should stop promoting any late-term procedure. Yet Gov. Cuomo has failed to even address the recent death and stands with his proposal; putting more women at risk of injury and death.
Gov. Cuomo needs to watch the new documentary "3801 Lancaster" and learn from a page of Pennsylvania's horrific history. Instead of pushing for non-physicians to be allowed to perform abortions and allow late-term abortion to be performed for any reason, he should truly be concerned about the health and safety of women and not push his radical abortion-minded positions at their expense.
I had the privilege of seeing my first child born recently and witnessing the stages of the pregnancy. Hearing the heart beat at 8 weeks. Seeing my little guy on an ultrasound monitor at 21 weeks. I kept repeating to the nurses that I was in awe of the technology they used to check-up on my son. I was given the joy of looking through this window to see my child's hands and feet and nose and heart – all before his birth.
The survival rates of babies born at 24 weeks are growing significantly higher. We are kidding ourselves to say a baby at 24 weeks and beyond – with a beating heart that feels pain, looks like a baby and has a great chance of living on its own – is just a blob of tissue that can be discarded.
Whatever Gov. Cuomo's motivation is, it is certainly not about the health and safety of the citizens he represents.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Great value and always look forward to itIn full: This was one of 10 marathons I've ran this year and the most enjoyable. Great parking facilities, friendly marshalls, great shirt & goody bag, generous prizes, track to start & finish, super support. Having the names on the running number enhanced encouragement from the well populated support. A really good event that you'd think has been running many more years than it has. I've done 10 this year, 63 in total and this is by far my favourire. I'd just ran Loch Ness the week before but prefer this to that and all the others.The build up is also great with many and concise communications received adding to the 'build up'. Medals also very good.Date of review: October 8, 2013
In full: This was the 4th time I have run this and it has got better each time. A glorious day helped, and the 3 laps are also helpful. Marshalls were pleasant mand many of them. Organisation was excellant and a great course. Well supported en-route and good goody bag/momentos and medal. Great to have drop-out points and the relay as well.Date of review: November 19, 2012
In short: Virtually traffic free which was fantastic and helps runners to enjoy the lovely surroundings. Going into/out of Wales is a nice touch as well.Date of review: October 11, 2012
In full: I had originally got a place in the FLM in 'good for age' and it was to be my 8th time, but was told they had 'lost it' and for that I am thankful as the Stratford Marathon was a far better experience. The scenery was great, the weather was perfect and the support (spectators and marshalls) was also very good.I enjoyed the course, even the 'green-way' at the end, but the best point was the organisation. Not having to go to an 'EXPO' to get numbers, use tubes, be kept waiting etc was great. The prizes & medals were also well received. The only criticism was the cost of parking. When I received the '6 hour pass' I thought it would be free but even a resuction (for runners) would be welcome as we're running for charitable causes. Have already decided NOT to run FLM next year, I'm doing this one again. I did win it though so I may be biased !!Date of review: May 6, 2010
In short: Great course (3 laps) and runners were generous with their praise, as they were being overtaken ! In full: This race is run on a very scenic 3 laps, mildly undulating. There are 2 water stations (plus high 5) that you pass 3 times (giving 6 overall) Good T-shirt and great prizes. Great for all standards of runners and well represented. As I was fortunate to be at the front, I was amazed at how many runners shouted praise & encouragement as they were being overtaken/lapped. Very friendly. Organisation was much improved from last year and the prizes were very good. The organisers and helpers (Marshalls) were also very encouraging and support was good on what was a bitterly cold day. Great value for money and I'll be back next year. Date of review: January 24, 2010
In short: Good scenery but one pacer didn't turn up and the miles were not measured accurately as the watch wasn't working properly. Good course but the runners world schedule states 22 miles for that week and this is only 17. Should be at least 20. In full: Free water and it breaks the monotony of many long runs by doing it elsewhere, with different people, and gauging a time.Date of review: March 12, 2007
