Skip to comments.The Myth of Female Oppression
Posted on 03/03/2012 7:05:40 PM PST by Borges
All of us have been taught how women have supposedly been oppressed throughout human existence, and that this was pervasive, systematic, and endorsed by ordinary men who presumably had it much better than women. In reality, this narrative is entirely fabricated. The average man was forced to risk death on the battlefield, at sea, or in mines, while most women stayed indoors tending to children and household duties. Male life expectancy was always significantly lower than that of females, and still is.
Warfare has been a near constant feature of human society before the modern era, and whenever two tribes or kingdoms went to war with each other, the losing side saw many of its fighting-age men exterminated, while the women were assimilated into the invading society. Now, becoming a concubine or a housekeeper is an unfortunate fate, but not nearly as bad as being slaughtered in battle as the men were. To anyone who disagrees, would you like for the men and women to trade outcomes?
Most of this narrative stems from 'feminists' comparing the plight of average women to the topmost men (the monarch and other aristocrats), rather than to the average man. This practice is known as apex fallacy, and whether accidental or deliberate, entirely misrepresents reality. To approximate the conditions of the average woman to the average man (the key word being 'average') in the Western world of a century ago, simply observe the lives of the poorest peasants in poor countries today. Both men and women have to perform tedious work, have insufficient food and clothing, and limited opportunities for upliftment.
As far as selective anecdotes like voting rights go, in the vast majority of cases, men could not vote either. In fact, if one compares every nation state from every century, virtually all of them extended exactly the same voting rights (or lack thereof) to men and women. Even today, out of 200 sovereign states, there are exactly zero that have a different class of voting rights to men and women. Any claim that women were being denied rights than men were given in even 0.1% of historical instances, falls flat.
This is not to deny that genuine atrocities like genital mutilation have been perpetrated against women; they have and still are. But men also experienced atrocities of comparable horror at the same time, which is simply not mentioned. In fact, when a man is genitally mutilated by a woman, other women actually find this humorous, and are proud to say so publicly.
It is already wrong when a contemporary group seeks reparations from an injustice that occurred over a century ago to people who are no longer alive. It is even worse when this oppression itself is a fabrication. The narrative of female oppression by men should be rejected and refuted as the highly selective and historically false narrative that it is. In fact, this myth is evidence not of historical oppression, but of the vastly different propensity to complain between the two genders.
Christianity essentially elevated the female—and put them on a pedestal. Our culture gave women the control over the selection of a husband—unlike any culture in the history of the world.
Western Civilization with the adoption of Christianity gave us concepts like Common Law and dignity and worth of every individual including women and the weak and sick and children. Chivalry and Romance come from Christianity.
The war is on the male—to destroy the patriarchy—because that will collapse the culture—men are always needed to protect and fight for rights. They are attacking males with both the homosexual movement and the feminist movement—and both destroy male children's development and demonize male behavior.
They particularly (Marxists) are attacking individualism and risk—working on "group think". They are destroying all Virtue—because without Virtue, men do not control their passions and you get chaos in society.
Homosexuality reduces all males to sexual objects for other men, which will collapse all ethics in male organizations—destroys trust.
The oppressed are the males-—and they are silenced—if they speak out like Rush or Brietbart, the MSM will destroy (or kill) them. They have to follow the communist mantra.
Alinsky's Rules for Radicals:
The organizer's first job is to create the issues or problems, and organizations must be based on many issues. The organizer must first rub raw the resentments of the people of the community; fan the latent hostilities of many of the people to the point of overt expression. He must search out controversy and issues, rather than avoid them, for unless there is controversy people are not concerned enough to act. . . . An organizer must stir up dissatisfaction and discontent.
I would disagree with this author and say that there is oppression of women today - Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan being two of the worst examples.
What's that song again...."She said don't hand me no lines, and keep your hands to yourself!"
Well, not QUITE. Until the early 20th century, dying in childbirth was a real and regular risk. One also has to keep in mind what happened to those women without protection from "marauding" male armies.
If that becomes the preferred approach to female claims of oppression, then the war is lost.
Personally, I think the best way to deal with women who complain they're oppressed is to laugh at them.
Dying in childbirth wasn't due to being 'oppressed' but a biological circumstance that was eventually alleviated by medical advances.
I laugh at them. Then I tell them: "I have it worse than you do — but you don't hear me bitching and moaning about it!"
For many women, there is nothing that stings worse than being laughed at.
Islam doesn't consider females to be human so it's a moot point.
This is BS. Women didn't have the right to vote in the US until a century and a half after men did, and with the dangers of childbirth female life expectancy was less than men's for much of history.
You present a false dichotomy between patriarchy and men being needed. Giving women equal rights does not destroy boys.
...by medical advances made by men.
"Most of this narrative stems from 'feminists' comparing the plight of average women to the topmost men (the monarch and other aristocrats), rather than to the average man."
Yes, and to make the fallacy a bit less obvious, they've invented the notion of "the patriarchy" to give impressionable people the idea that all men held some privileged status in society simply because of their sex. In reality, men throughout history have shown little to no regard for each other based on sex alone. Class and caste have always been much more determinative factors for status in society, and those cross the sex divide. An upper class woman had more rights and privileges than a lower class man, and they still do in most places, so where is this "patriarchy"?
"Until the early 20th century, dying in childbirth was a real and regular risk."
Which is men's fault how exactly? A natural pitfall of life isn't "oppression".
"One also has to keep in mind what happened to those women without protection from marauding male armies."
Yes, but this wasn't something done to women by their own society, but by the enemies of both the men and women of their society. Their men were out there fighting and dying to prevent that from happening to the women. Maybe if they had known that, instead of gratitude for their sacrifice, the fairer sex would try to blame them for it later on, they wouldn't have bothered.
Refuting a false argument isn't "bitching and moaning".
Ridicule is a great tool against liars, but it usually isn't the best way to convince people sitting on the fence that you are correct and the liars are wrong. To do that, you usually have to address the false arguments being made.
I am so SICK of the 'woe is me' single working mom crap. White males have been getting beat, kicked, robbed, laid-off, fired, sued, denied, rejected, and spit on since passage of the Civil Rights Act and everyone knows it.
"Women didnt have the right to vote in the US until a century and a half after men did"
Well, you're focusing on the US, which had some of the most progressive voting rights in the world. Still, even here not ALL men had the right to vote that early. In the beginning most men did not have the right to vote, only white male property owners, who were a minority. Also, in most cases non-Christians could not vote either, and there were also requirements to pay poll taxes, or literacy tests. It wasn't until 1870 that all men in the US achieved legal voting rights.
Still, for non-whites just having the "right" didn't translate to actually being able to vote everywhere, until 1965 with the Voting Rights Act. White women, on the other hand, had freer voting rights starting in 1920. So, even in the US, some women were voting decades before some men were. It's not as cut-and-dry a scenario as some like to paint.
Voting does not give one power-—look at Russia and Chicago.
Oppression of women is relative-—Western Civilization has given women—esp. in colonial America a tremendous amount of power and rights. Look at the lives of Abigail Adams and most women of their time who selected their own husbands and had much power over men's votes and thoughts and property. Total control of the education of the children, etc. The power of that is control of the future. Look at what Tocqueville said about the women in America.
To compare American women to men is stupid-—they are not the same and not equal in many ways. The Egalitarianism which tries to take away the humanity of both men and women and say they are interchangeable and should have the exact same ROLES in life and the family are extremely destructive—especially to the emotional development of children.
It is human NATURE that woman IS THE WEAKER SEX—that is why they have been "oppressed" by every single culture that ever existed. The weak always were oppressed whether women or MEN.
BTW, it is Christianity which gave dignity and worth to women-—IDEOLOGY-—which determines if a person has dignity and worth and "oppressed" women in the US were given much more respect in the early 20th century than after the 60's-—where now women are routinely portrayed as meat and sluts and no one even bats an eye. They aren't even able to care for their babies at home now with taxes and divorce rates and single parenting becoming the norm.
Women have stated in all women magazines how miserable they are-—and this is AFTER they got the vote. They write about how to be a sex slave in bed-——they are slaves to the lust of men (and women) and NOT oppressed anymore, huh-—when STD's and abortions are the norm and they mutilate their bodies to get men's attention for more than 10 minutes and fill their bodies with birth control pills-—toxins causing cancers, etc.
What is important in life was God—and with Him there was great happiness and fulfillment and love of children and family which gave women great happiness-—always did—even without the now worthless vote.
Giving the vote to women was stupid-—it got us Zero. I know way too many stupid women who never read anything but romance novels and would vote for Zero any time. They are useful idiots when it comes to voting for whatever the headlines in the newspapers want them to do. Men have always been much more responsible voters—especially if they were land owners. People should have to take a test to have the right to vote.
No, really? Is war not due in part to higher levels of aggression in men?
If woman were the equal of man, then how could man ever oppress woman?
Stop being so defensive, I didn't say it was men's fault, but this author presents male life expectancy as SO much lower than womens when it's due to many factors besides war. Such as; males propensity to be more violent/aggressive, to take risks, and to work at dangerous jobs.
Susie, government gives it's citizens nothing that they can't nullify, so you may as well argue that giving voting rights to men was just as fruitless.
I didn't read anything "defensive" into that reply.
Maybe your'e just being passive-aggressive, lol.
Just walk into a department store and look around. Tell me who controls the money.
Well, the vote did work for many years in America-—it is since media and the schools were taken over by Marxists and the Truth is constantly hidden or twisted. We have to have Freedom of Press for the vote to matter—otherwise, we are like a Banana Republic. Too many "voices" get killed suddenly. We have no Freedom of the Press-—as Rush even has to apologize for saying more polite statements than Maher who never is required to apologize or loses advertisers. Rush apologizes for stating the Truth.
We are also no longer a Nation of Laws-—we are post Constitutional—which is what Mark Levin stated. Voting is rigged. We have judges who decide the "vote" or to nullify the vote of the people or they make up arbitrary laws or let arbitrary laws stand as Constitutional.....a complete JOKE.
War is due to property and envy—but, men ALWAYS had to protect their women and raise their children or they would die. Without fighting, there would never have been the property rights that were enshrined in American Law by brilliant white men.
All people will fight for life-—it is just women were weak and having babies so they were useless in war. Without men, the women and children were dead—they wouldn't have survived. It was stressful for men to have to make sure their family had food and shelter and were protected since caveman days. Women oppression is just different difficulties than man's difficulties-—life is hardship—life oppresses all—even kings. This idea that women are the only group oppressed is silly (and Marxist—divide and conquer).
I see why you chose your screen name.
I agree that we all face difficult problems, Susie. There is an old saying that "without one's women (and offspring), you are no longer a people".
You're being ridiculous. Only men had the right to vote in the US for 150 years, and blacks had the right to vote three generations before women did.
No, suffrage wasn't absolutely universal for men immediately and yes, there was some practical denial of blacks' right to vote in the South up until the '60s, but that doesn't obscure the basic facts.
Rush's stupid comment has sent misogynist FReepers into a tizzy of idiocy.
True enough.
For one thing, civilians have also borne the brunt of wars effects. While being in combat is terrible, civilians face the depredations of enemy troops, rape, pillaging, starvation, expulsion and exposure. Militaries long ago figured out that they needed to provide good conditions for their troops in order to be effective. The military will provide food, medical care, transportation, etc., that civilians may not receive at all, or only after the fighting man's needs are seen to.
I'm not sure it's accurate to say no other culture in the history of the world allowed this, but it is certainly very rare historically.
On a recent FR discussion, someone claimed that various male traits had evolved as part of the evolutionary process as men competed for female sexual attention. I tried to point out that until quite recently even in our society the choice of which men a woman had sex with was not up to her. Just could not get through to the other posters that our present freedom for women to decide who with and whether they will have sex is extremely unusual.
In most wars thru history the civilian deaths vastly exceeded the military dead.
In fact, one could develop a quantitative analysis of various wars by determining the ratio of military vs. civilian deaths. The US has been quite lucky in this regard. All three of the wars fought on US soil would come in extraordinarily low on this scale.
Bill Shakespeare said it better. As usual.
"Thy husband is thy lord, thy life, thy keeper,
Thy head, thy sovereign; one that cares for thee,
And for thy maintenance commits his body
To painful labour both by sea and land,
To watch the night in storms, the day in cold,
Whilst thou liest warm at home, secure and safe;
And craves no other tribute at thy hands
But love, fair looks and true obedience;
Too little payment for so great a debt."
"No, really? Is war not due in part to higher levels of aggression in men?"
So, Elizabeth I, Indira Ghandi, and Golda Meir were men? Women leaders engage in war too.
Everyone should just read The Myth of Male Power by Warren Farrell. Farrell, by the way, is a male feminist (try not to laugh!) and once served on the board of N.O.W. The book is DEVASTATING to feminist myths. The book's info about false reports of rape was shocking to me.
I found it interesting that you summed up in a few words what was never touched upon in the avalanche of sociological concepts and links produced here. These results are political as well as sociological. Well done.
Sorry if I got too defensive. I'm just sick and tired of the "blame game" that goes on in our society, ya know?
I think the point though, is not that men's lives were so much harder than womens, but just to show that the flawed arguments of the feminists can be turned around and used to paint the exact opposite picture. The argument may still be flawed, no matter which perspective you argue from, but it doesn't even work consistently in favor of the feminists.
"No, suffrage wasnt absolutely universal for men ..."
Yes, that's my whole point. Suffrage wasn't denied only on the basic of sex, which is the simplistic argument that feminists like to paint. I'm not tryng to "obscure basic facts" by pointing out the complexity of the situation, the feminists are trying to do that by reducing a complicated history to a single sentence.
When you look at the actual history, it paints a different picture than "men oppressed women". The truth is more like "some men oppressed women and other men, and at times, they oppressed women more than some men, and at other times, they oppressed some men more than some women."
"Rushs stupid comment has sent misogynist FReepers into a tizzy of idiocy."
Why are you engaging in the typical feminist (and liberal) shaming tactic of calling others hateful names because they disagree with your position? Do you think that is a valid method of argument?
Well, that's a whole different argument since there were both civillian men and civillian women, though of course they suffered in different ways if the military failed to protect them. Still, women getting raped, or forced into servitude during wars, isn't a result of men being sexist bastards, it's a result of humans being evil. The same men that were out raping the enemy's women were trying to stop the enemy from raping their women. It was a tactic of war, based on practicality getting the better of everyones' morality.
I agree wholeheartedly that men are s*** on constantly by the media and academia and that has to stop. I only took issue with one strand of the author's article and certainly don't hold men responsible for deaths in childbirth.

I have no doubt that male civilians suffer terribly as well. I'm only saying that for female civilians, having one's male family members killed off or missing, and then potentially being raped or forced into concubinage by the enemy seems like a fate worse than death to me. If ever I faced that circumstance, I think I'd rather die fighting.
I find that in studying philosophy and psychology, that there are many lies posited in the school systems——BK Eakman outlines them in her Cloning of the American Mind as does John Taylor Gatto and Allan Bloom in Closing of the American Mind.
This is all to destroy Natural Law Theory and concept of God and Objective Truth. It is a movement that picked up its power with Nietzsche and Marx and the postmodernists who emigrated to the Universities in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and took over public school curricula.
The basic truths and the idea of Virtue is being intentionally destroyed so that the Marxists can redesign Right and Wrong without God and Objective Truth. (CS Lewis wrote about this in England in the 30's—same thing).
With lies as foundational learning-—children have no trouble with illogical concepts such as the bizarre idea of "homosexual" marriage and the word "Slut" is good and "sodomy is good". 50 years ago this would have beeen unbelievable-—because we believed in Objective Truth (God) and in Natural Law Theory which is Common Sense. The irrationality of the leftists leaves any arbitrary thing a "Right" including forced abortion.

Another prime-time game brought another sideline incident for Bears quarterback Jay Cutler.
In the first half of the Bears' 34-18 win against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday, cameras caught Cutler abruptly walking away from Bears offensive coordinator Mike Tice as the coach approached for a conversation. Cutler was seated on a bench after a disappointing series, and when Tice grabbed a seat next to Cutler and looked ready to talk, the quarterback stood up and walked away.
After the game, Cutler said he did not understand why the move drew scrutiny.
"I don't have to sit by him the whole game, do I?" Cutler asked.
No, but why walk away from a coach as he is trying to talk to you?
"Things happen during football games," Cutler said. "Just because I walk off and go get water doesn't mean much."
* * *
Cutler was happier to discuss a 34-yard touchdown pass to Devin Hester.
"He ran a great route, killed the guy," Cutler said. "[I] had to let it go a little sooner than I'd liked to and Devin did a great job of tracking it."
The play marked Hester's first touchdown of the season. Cutler added a touchdown pass to Brandon Marshall later in the game.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports Writer
With Union returning eight players that saw lots of action last season, the Emery Spartans fell in Roosevelt to the Union Cougars. Emery, with only two returning starters in Dave Justice and Darrin Winn, at times showed their potential and at other times showed their inexperience in losing the game that was both teams season opener. Also starting this season for Emery are Josh Eden, a guard that did see considerable action last season, Vic Rosen, who spent last season recuperating from a football injury and Dempsey Jeffs, a sophomore guard.
Union led this game the entire way as the Spartans could not get their shots to fall. The Cougars had a 14-5 lead after the first quarter, a 26-15 lead at the half and although Emery held Union to only two baskets in the third quarter, they still led 31-24. Both teams loosened up in the final period but Union still outscored Emery 21-20 to win the game by eight points.
In that final period, Emery did cut the lead to only four points and had the ball but could not quite get over the hump to take the lead.
Leading Emery in scoring was Winn with 13 points. Winn had six baskets and made one of two free throws. Rosen and Justice had 12 points each in the game. Vic had five baskets and was two for four at the free throw line while Justice had four baskets and was four for five at the free throw line. Jeffs added a basket and made two free throws for four points while Eden hit the only three of the night for Emery to finish with three points. Emery will only get better as they get experience playing together. They should be able to challenge for the region crown. A lack of depth could be a problem if the big guys get into foul trouble. The only other Spartans to see action in the game were Kade Jones and Kyler Edgehouse.
The roster this season includes three seniors, three juniors, seven sophomores and three freshmen.
Emery plays two more road games this week at Canyon View and San Juan before playing at home next week in the 8th Annual Coal Country Classic.

Yesterday, CSPAN Chairman Brian Lamb spoke at the Miller Center's Forum. Since its founding in 1978, CSPAN has made an important contribution to the revolution in communications, which in turn has enormously impacted the way in which people receive information and relate to government. Two things in particular set CSPAN apart from other media outlets. First, unlike public television or radio, it is truly separated from government. Second, unlike cable news shows, CSPAN airs policy and political events (such as the recent conventions), as well as government proceedings without filtered commentary. While CSPAN has been a pioneer in the communications revolution, Lamb noted that Twitter and Facebook are the sources of news for the next generation and the freedom they offer is even more extraordinary. The main take-away from Lamb's talk was his belief in the absolute need to maintain a free market of ideas in the media, whether as individuals we agree with those ideas or not. One of the main concerns that many audience members raised was the media's contribution the politically polarized environment. Throughout the discussion, Lamb propounded the need to maintain a free market of ideas in the media. We may not like how some media outlets have aligned with one party to attack the other, but regulating what airs is far from desirable. Lamb claimed that he actually likes Fox and MSNBC. While some might complain about the lack of civility, Lamb argued that people were previously forced to the middle and "people were angry and not voting." One positive aspect of political polarization has been, therefore, its ability to engage the citizenry. Findings of some political scientists would confirm this point. Alan Abramowitz, Barbara Sinclair, and Matthew Levendusky, for example, have pointed to positive outcomes, including more meaningful choices for the electorate between the parties, parties that are more attentive to their bases, higher voter turnout in elections, and greater engagement in campaign activism. However, others—such as Morris P. Fiorina, Jonathan Haidt and Marc Hetherington, Thomas Mann and Norm Ornstein—have highlighted negative affects of polarization including increased disaffection from and less trust in government, subordinated institutional integrity, decreased policy effectiveness, and a decline in unbiased information. What are your thoughts about the media's role in creating a politically polarized environment? Do you agree with Lamb that a free market of ideas in the media is preferable to forced civility? What suggestions do you have for ways in which civility might be returned to politics? Tell us your thoughts. Listen to or watch the full forum with Brian Lamb here.

Home Sweet Home
Works from the
Peter Fay collection
11 October 18 January 2004
Lilydale, VIC, Australia 1927
Dark sail 1967
oil on board
PF I suppose it was through Rosalie that I really got to look at these Ken Whissons and just adored them; they were fantastic. I eventually met Ken, and had bought a series of drawings, and then another work came up which I bought, which I knew that the Gallery wanted, so I knew that it would eventually go to a good home.
And Ken was so overcome by that he just said to me 'You go into Watters Gallery in Sydney and you take any work of mine that you want. Seeing you've given a work away I would be very happy for you to have it.'
And I couldn't believe it. So in I went and there was this large holding of his work at Watters [Studio], and I looked through it all and oh, it was easy to pick a work, but which one? And then I noticed that there was another, where they'd pulled this work out way back in the stock room, and there was a work still sticking out from somebody else's stack of paintings, and I said 'That looks like a Wisson!'.
And I pulled it out and it was this Dark sail painting, and I just went weak at the knees, and I said 'That's it. It's fantastic'.
And I wrote to Ken straight away and I said 'Ohhh, I've just picked this extraordinary painting. It's just so raw, and strong, and immediate…' and all of these things, and Ken wrote back and he said 'You picked the best'.
And really, I've had a very long correspondence with Ken over the years and he's so strong in his opinions, which I really like, and he's got an extraordinary mind for detail; he remembers at seventeen being in Nolan's studio when Nolan was painting his really great works, so there are lots of sort of references back into other objects and other paintings in the collection through Ken, and he's a great repository that way, but I just think this painting is an absolute 'key'; it's one of the lynch pins in my collection, and I'm just thrilled it's come my way, especially in the way it was given to me.
A very important piece.

Jersey Micro Benchmarking Framework
By Jonathan Benoit on Sep 26, 2011
A micro benchmarking framework has been created for Jersey/JAX-RS. This allows us to do continuous performance testing using hudson to make sure Jersey keeps performing well as we are adding functionality. This test suite also allows us to test between different JAX-RS versions, which helps us catch any regressions in Jersey 2, with respect to Jersey 1.
I am testing basic functionality such as media type to java type conversions,
and vice-versa. I am testing the most commonly used media types.
MediaType conversions covered in testing baseline results include:
- Strings
- InputStream
Not only is there added support for different payloads, XML, pure text, JSON payload, but I am also testing:
- HTTP methods + JAXRS annotations GET, PUT, POST, DELETE.
- annotations like @QueryParam, etc.
I can increase our testing coverage, testing various features, as required.
I am utilizing Japex Micro-benchmark Framework to implement our testing suite. Japex includes a Maven2 plugin, which we use to run microbenchmarks from our maven build. Hudson includes a Japex plugin to allow Japex Trend reports to be displayed within hudson. Here is a snapshot of Japex Trend report for JUnit testing of sample Root Element Collection method:
I'm trying to ensure that we eliminate "noise" from these performance number results. Initially the numbers were less stable, as there were multiple executors configured on hudson slave, allowing multiple jobs to run concurrently. That has been changed to now run single executor on hudson slave where micro benchmark tests are run. Also, I have analyzed hudson slave to ensure no cron jobs are triggered during performance testing. This is a work in progress, striving for more deterministic results moving forward.
I've configured the Japex hudson plugin to notify us when there is more than a 1% change in performance via the configure page of our hudson job:
The usage of Hudson with Japex allows us to continuously monitor the performance of Jersey as it moves forward.
Special thanks to Santiago and Jakub for their help in putting the pieces together.

Fallon Fox thought she'd be a famous pro fighter some day. But she thought it would be for the fighting part, and only after she had done enough to justify the attention.
She was wrong, and also maybe a little naive.
"I'm the first transsexual fighter in MMA," said Fox (2-0). "Like, ever. It's always going to be part of the narrative, but I'll deal with it. I'll try my best to use it to my advantage."
So far, that's what she's doing. The added publicity is good news for the Florida-based Championship Fighting Alliance promotion she fights for, and for the AXS TV cable network that recently secured the rights to broadcast her Friday fight against Allanna Jones (2-1) at Miami's Bank-United Center (9p.m. ET).
SUSPENDED: UFC suspends Nate Diaz for gay slur
Whether it will work out as well for Fox in the end is another question.
Fox, 37, was born male, underwent gender reassignment surgery in Thailand in 2006 and began an amateur fighting career in 2011. She turned pro in 2012 and won her debut via first-round TKO, while keeping her past as a man secret from all but a few trusted friends and training partners.
But after her 39-second knockout win in the first round of the CFA's women's 145-pound tournament, she received a call from an MMAjunkie.com reporter that let her know her secret was about to come out. Fox told her story for the first time to Sports Illustrated in March and since has been at the center of a heated and sometimes vitriolic debate.
"It's about what I thought it would be," Fox said of the reaction within the MMA community, which has included support from some fellow fighters as well as condemnation from others.
"I've always known, ever since I was competing in jiu-jitsu and grappling tournaments, this was a possibility," Fox told USA TODAY Sports in a phone interview. "I guess I was mentally preparing myself for it. I wasn't sure how I'd deal with it, other than to tell myself that on a long enough timeline this would happen. I don't know if you can ever really be prepared for a situation like this."
CFA founder Jorge de la Noval could say the same thing. When the Cuban-born fight promoter first signed Fox to compete in his tournament, he thought he was getting just another female fighter. The Monday after her fight, he got a call from the Florida State Boxing Commission informing him there might be a problem with her license.
"I was in shock, to be honest with you," de la Noval said. "I didn't even know what a transgender was. But my reaction was, we'll support her. I called her right away and told her, 'Don't be afraid. We'll stand behind you.'"
When the news broke, de la Noval said, some women in the tournament wanted to withdraw rather than face an opponent who had lived most of her life as a man.
"But fast-forward three months, and now every girl out there wants to fight Fallon Fox," de la Noval said. "Now they'll not only be fighting a female with skills, they'll be fighting a celebrity."
Fox has been cleared to compete, and CFA has been picked up by AXS TV, the cable network owned in part by Mark Cuban. AXS TV Fights CEO Andrew Simon said the network will continue to broadcast CFA events with or without Fox but added, "We know there is huge interest in Fallon Fox, as well as the heavyweight main event."
Fox knows it, too, even if she's not completely comfortable with it yet. Her instant celebrity has been a boost in some ways, but at what cost? She had hoped to work her way up the women's MMA ladder before coming out as the sport's first transgender fighter, she said. Now she's been thrust into the spotlight, and there's no going back.
"I'd rather be known for my talent, for what I can do in the cage," Fox said. "I'm sure that will come."

Cinco De Mayo
Contrary to popular belief, Cinco de Mayo is not a celebration of Mexico's Independence Day, but rather a celebration of the Mexican defeat over the French in the Battle of Puebla.
But throughout the US, Cinco de Mayo has beome a day for partying with plenty of tasty, tasty Mexican food and Margaritas!
One of my personal favorite holidays of the year, I was introduced to Cinco de Mayo while living in Los Angeles many, many moons ago! I've had many celebrations and parties for Cinco de Mayo over the years and look forward to a nice jumbo strawberry margarita this weekend! Sweeeeeet!!

Oilers Hire Wayne Fleming As Assistant Coach
Jonathan Willis
August 25 2009 06:00PM
The Oilers have hired Wayne Fleming - last seen as the head coach of Avangard Omsk of the KHL (far right in the video above) - as an assistant to Pat Quinn.
Fleming, like virtually everyone who Steve Tambellini has hired since being named Oilers' GM, has had extensive experience with Hockey Canada. Fleming served as the GM (and assistant coach) of Canada's National Olympic Program from 1990-92. Under his watch, the Canadians won silver at the 1992 Olympics. The Canadian team featured (among others) former Dallas coach Dave Tippett, while current Oiler Nikolai Khabibulin was the third goaltender for the gold-medal winning Russians. Fleming also served as Team Canada's head coach at the 2001 and 2002 World Championships (he coached Steve Staios at the latter event), and as an associate coach at the 2002 and 2006 Olympics and the 2004 World Cup of Hockey.
Outside of his work with Hockey Canada, Fleming's had an incredibly diverse career as a coach. He spent nine seasons as head coach of the University of Manitoba Bisons (he was an assistant coach and player before that) before joining Hockey Canada, and during those nine seasons he won two championships. After his time with the Bisons and his first stint with Hockey Canada, Fleming took a job coaching Leksands in the Swedish Elite League, a position he held for four seasons. He also coached in Switzerland and Germany before taking a job as an assistant to Islanders head coach Rick Bowness in 1997-98. He lasted two seasons, and worked with three head coaches: Bowness, Mike Milbury, and Bill Stewart. Oilers' defenseman Jason Strudwick played some games for the 1997-98 team.
During his time with the Islanders, Fleming was responsible for coaching the powerplay. Over his two seasons with the team, the Islanders ranked 10th and 13th in the NHL in PP%; in overall scoring they ranked 16th and 22nd. It seems safe to say that Fleming got the job done. Fleming's time on the Island ended with the promotion of Stewart to head coach; Stewart's first move was to move Fleming into scouting.
After two years, Fleming was hired as an assistant coach to Bob Francis in Phoenix (future Bruins' coach Mike Sullivan was on the roster) then. He left the Coyotes to work for Hockey Canada, before returning to the NHL. His next job was in Philadelphia, where he spent three seasons as an assistant to Ken Hitchcock (Hitchcock had previously worked with Fleming at the 2002 Olympics). During the NHL lockout, Fleming considered a position in Switzerland, and his agent talked a little bit about why HC Bern wanted to hire him:
"Wayne is a kind of hockey god overseas. He spent a lot of time in Europe. He is considered a teacher over there, not a yeller. They really like people like him."
After resigning in Philadelphia, Fleming joined Jim Playfair's staff in Calgary in time for the 2006-07 season, and worked for both Playfair and Mike Keenan. He resigned his position in Calgary to make the jump to the KHL after being recruited by Jaromir Jagr.
Last year, Fleming was the head coach for Avangard Omsk, and things went badly. Rangers prospect Alexei Cherepanov died in October because of a heart condition, and ex-NHL'er John Grahame was released by the club because of alleged off-ice issues (Grahame denies the team's allegations). In early January, Fleming was fired mid-game, but then asked to return; he stayed on until the end of the month before resigning.
All things considered, I'm a fan of this move: from everything I've read, Fleming brings in experience on special teams, he's done a ton of video work (and with the Oilers video coach being shown the door, it's a good bet he'll be doing it again) and he's worked extensively with younger players. It's also worth noting that Fleming's departure from Phoenix, Philadelphia and Calgary was on his own terms - he wasn't fired but instead chose to move on. He'll be a nice addition to an already loaded coaching staff.

@ Robin Brownlee: I completely agree that it's a double standard. What I was trying to say was that people that take pride in their work and are generally respected for their craft (yourself, JW, Stauffer, etc) should have professional courtesy & respect for one another. As I said in my first post last night, not that I totally disagreed with his statement, I would have hoped he could have been more tactful in his wording. I just thought he called JW out a little.
As far as professional criticism is concerned, maybe it's not possible in this blogging format, but I would hope there would be a less public way of going about it. I know in my line of work, I would do my best not to criticize a colleague publicly. When done in a public venue, it's generally not received nearly as well (as was clear in this case).
I should clarify what I meant with my "faceless blogger" comment. Any bozo with a computer can start a blog, or post a comment on a site like this (read:"-30-"). In this blogging format, there's no way to stop the douchebaggery that these "brave" faceless posters say.
In any case, we probably won't agree on alot of these issues, but that's the best part of this site.
Cheers, ABC

Everyone needs respect. Sometimes we can be quick to judge.

@ Robin I think a lot of it comes down to how you read the comments. Bob being more of a radio guy may (probably) not have realized how his comments would have been interpreted by us loonies. As you mentioned, you know Bob, and, I'm guessing, read the comments coming from the "Bob" you know- not meaning disrespect towards JW. Personally I do not know Bob (loved his show on 1260), and did read the comment as an opinion of content with an unnecesary slight against JW thrown in. IMO

Our buddy Bum Stauffer knows the lay of the land here, he knows its late summer, he knows Brownlee's over the legal limit, holidays etc, yet he chose to critique Mr. Willis...Still feel this drive by fruiting was uncalled for.
..am i the only one who feels that Stauffer sounds "liquored up" all the time on broadcasts?
August 26 2009, 07:24PM
@ ronaldo: Fair enough. Saying you read it as an unneccessary slight is one thing. But if you didn't read the original comment by Stauffer and just judged by the response, you'd have thought it was an all-out, guns-blazing assault that started things. Not the case.
You know, people could at least consider the question Stauffer posed -- is there a variety and balance of opinion and insight when all the articles are being written by one person? -- before going off. Is the question that outrageous, especially when asked by somebody who doesn't know the arrangements individual writers have? I don't think so.
Allowing that the question is reasonable doesn't mean Willis doesn't work hard, that he doesn't put thought and effort into what he produces or that he doesn't do good work. Allowing that the question has some merit doesn't mean Willis has hatched a scheme to turn ON into JonathanWillis.com by writing two or three stories a day to hog the spotlight. But instead of saying, "Hey, I was wondering about why nobody else except Willis is writing, too, and where the hell is Brownlee or Gregor or whoever," you get what we had here.
Circle the wagons. Gang mentality. Call it what you will. It was an overreaction.

Edmonton fans always need an "Other" to project their inferiority complex at. its epic. last week it was Heatley's presser for your own managements mistakes to not foster a proper situation for Heatley to say yes. this week its Bob Stauffer hoping some of the writers "closer" to home with sources outside of google brought more to the table to a website.
dissing Stauffer is lame. hes easily one of the more well thought out hockey analysts out there regardless of his job position or who he knows.

The biggest problem here Robin is that this isnt the first time that JW has been the victim of a drive-by from Bob Stauffer. I will admit, I feel like I am a member of Oilers Nation. I dont write articles, but still I feel like i am part of a community here. It gets my back up when someone comes in from the outside and starts takin swipes at another member of the Nation, especially when they are unwarranted. It IS a circling of the wagons, it IS a gang mentality.
Bob Stauffer is a veteran of the media business and knows how to say what he means exactly the way he means it. He could have said what he said any number of ways but chose to do it in a way that was condescending. His question becomes almost irrelevant because he posed it in such a way that made his point secondary to his tone.

I'm late to the party, but I wanted to state my support for JW.
I live in the hellish land that is Toronto Maple Leafs territory, so I rely on this website to keep in touch with my hockey nation. Its like living in a desert and not finding water - thank god the Oil are finally in Buffalo this year!
Anyways, I love the constant new content, and I disagree with Bob Stauffer's original post. I think his tone was unprofessional and rude, though its hard to tell in text. Then again, someone who is a professional should be aware of how a post can be interpreted.
In summary, keep up the posts JW. The more new content, the better. It doesn't all have to be statistical interpretation, because some of us don't live and die by numbers.
August 27 2009, 11:02PM
@ Bob Stauffer:
Bob I played sports all my life. Played for my country and trained like a bastard. I am a big believer in statistical analysis of sport. I have a great respect for Mr. willis because having played sport at a world class level, I recognize mr. Willis's importance to the advancment of game knowledge.
Bob! You however! I have had to endure your embarrasing performance as a play by play man for the oilers. I often wonder how a fat F*** like you got your role. But then it hit me. You Have Katz pulse too well. It comes from the main vein on his ..........
Take some shots at people who don't have a love for the game. Just like your pulse rubbing unathletic fat ass. JW has a passion I expect we would only see from you in front of the buffet table.
But that is my non pulse contected opinion. Slurp!
I asked if I should write from the high road and thought no. The S*** you wrote deserves this.

I agree that Stauffer (as a professional) either knew exactly what he was writing and what he meant by how he was writing it, or that what he actually felt (but not what he wanted to write) shone through his words accidentally (it happens). Either way, it was a straight up ad hominem - a personal attack.
He suggests that Willis' is lacking "a pulse for what is happening in Edmonton" (while Manitoban Jen Sharpe learns on the job) while belittling JW by suggesting he has "no direct access to anybody that matters in hockey circles" (which is a surprising comment from a journalist, considering the tradition of investigative journalism).
He then backpeddles, flip flops, and says, hey, but it's great if JW would blog less, it might be more relevant somehow. How is something "kind of" relevant? Individual pieces either have merit, or they don't.
Though I must admit there is a marked lack of defenders for Stauffer as opposed to JW, Stauffer isn't exactly on his home turf here at ON, either (is he? Or am I mistaken in some way?).
After the fallout, JW answered Stauffer's challenge in a direct reply, and Stauffer, instead of doing the same, preferred to play the victim to the crowd instead of manning up and facing the person his ad hominem was directed at.
Just pathetic.
If he didn't do anything wrong by way of his original comments, should he not have easily refuted any of the interpretations that were taken from his post?
He could easily say, "I didn't mean this," or "I didn't mean that." He's innocent until proven guilty but I don't think it's right to let Brownlee speak on his behalf when he should defend himself.

I didn't see this before. But this still doesn't explain the personal attacks; all this does is confirm that "Stauffer thinks ON is relevant. The end."

KLAPHEKE DEATH: Ex-CPS worker alleges document tampering wasn't uncommon at Abilene office
ABILENE, Texas - We're getting a better idea of what may be happening inside Abilene's CPS office from someone who used to work there.
A former caseworker says she tried to alert the state to practices within the Abilene office. And now that caseworker is in the middle of a cps investigation involving her own daughter.
"They've always done it, they just now got caught," said Joann Thomas. That's the explanation she gives after learning Abilene's Department of Family Protective Services is under criminal investigation.
Thomas left her job as a CPS investigator a little over a year ago. At the time, Thomas says she wrote an email to her supervisor and state officials unveiling what she believed were bad practices within the Abilene office; including the false documentation of cases.
"So I can go in and put in documentation...if I save the first screen, that's going to time stamp it. But, I can go into the actual document and save that as many times as I want to and save it...so I can put something in the computer and make it look like I documented it on this date, but in actuality I didn't," said Thomas.
Tuesday, Abilene Police Chief Stan Standridge announced his department is investigating three women; Bit Whitaker, Gretchen Denny, and Barbara McDaniel for allegedly tampering with or fabricating evidence in the case of Tamryn Klapheke, the 22 month old girl found dead from neglect inside a Dyess home. Her mother, Tiffany Klapheke, now sits in the Taylor County Jail.
Fabricating or tampering with evidence is something Thomas says was not uncommon within the Abilene CPS office. "I remember one particular supervisor - she wanted me to go out and do a removal, and I was like, I'm not removing these kids, there's no grounds for removal of these kids...and she said, yeah you are, and I'll help you if you need me to fluff the affidavit. That's another phrase that you use that everyone in the agency knows what you're talking about," said Thomas.
We want to reiterate that during just the past month, Thomas has become the focus of a CPS investigation herself, a year after sending that email about CPS.

The final mathematical quantity discussed in Lesson 1 is acceleration. An often confused quantity, acceleration has a meaning much different than the meaning associated with it by sports announcers and other individuals. The definition of acceleration is:
Sports announcers will occasionally say that a person is accelerating if he/she is moving fast. Yet acceleration has nothing to do with going fast. A person can be moving very fast and still not be accelerating. Acceleration has to do with changing how fast an object is moving. If an object is not changing its velocity, then the object is not accelerating. The data at the right are representative of a northward-moving accelerating object. The velocity is changing over the course of time. In fact, the velocity is changing by a constant amount - 10 m/s - in each second of time. Anytime an object's velocity is changing, the object is said to be accelerating; it has an acceleration.
Sometimes an accelerating object will change its velocity by the same amount each second. As mentioned in the previous paragraph, the data table above show an object changing its velocity by 10 m/s in each consecutive second. This is referred to as a constant acceleration since the velocity is changing by a constant amount each second. An object with a constant acceleration should not be confused with an object with a constant velocity. Don't be fooled! If an object is changing its velocity -whether by a constant amount or a varying amount - then it is an accelerating object. And an object with a constant velocity is not accelerating. The data tables below depict motions of objects with a constant acceleration and a changing acceleration. Note that each object has a changing velocity.
Since accelerating objects are constantly changing their velocity, one can say that the distance traveled/time is not a constant value. A falling object for instance usually accelerates as it falls. If we were to observe the motion of a free-falling object (free fall motion will be discussed in detail later), we would observe that the object averages a velocity of approximately 5 m/s in the first second, approximately 15 m/s in the second second, approximately 25 m/s in the third second, approximately 35 m/s in the fourth second, etc. Our free-falling object would be constantly accelerating. Given these average velocity values during each consecutive 1-second time interval, we could say that the object would fall 5 meters in the first second, 15 meters in the second second (for a total distance of 20 meters), 25 meters in the third second (for a total distance of 45 meters), 35 meters in the fourth second (for a total distance of 80 meters after four seconds). These numbers are summarized in the table below.
Note: The ~ symbol as used here means approximately.
This discussion illustrates that a free-falling object that is accelerating at a constant rate will cover different distances in each consecutive second. Further analysis of the first and last columns of the data above reveal that there is a square relationship between the total distance traveled and the time of travel for an object starting from rest and moving with a constant acceleration. The total distance traveled is directly proportional to the square of the time. As such, if an object travels for twice the time, it will cover four times (2^2) the distance; the total distance traveled after two seconds is four times the total distance traveled after one second. If an object travels for three times the time, then it will cover nine times (3^2) the distance; the distance traveled after three seconds is nine times the distance traveled after one second. Finally, if an object travels for four times the time, then it will cover 16 times (4^2) the distance; the distance traveled after four seconds is 16 times the distance traveled after one second. For objects with a constant acceleration, the distance of travel is directly proportional to the square of the time of travel.
The average acceleration (a) of any object over a given interval of time (t) can be calculated using the equation
This equation can be used to calculate the acceleration of the object whose motion is depicted by the velocity-time data table above. The velocity-time data in the table shows that the object has an acceleration of 10 m/s/s. The calculation is shown below.
Acceleration values are expressed in units of velocity/time. Typical acceleration units include the following:
These units may seem a little awkward to a beginning physics student. Yet they are very reasonable units when you begin to consider the definition and equation for acceleration. The reason for the units becomes obvious upon examination of the acceleration equation.
Since acceleration is a velocity change over a time, the units on acceleration are velocity units divided by time units - thus (m/s)/s or (mi/hr)/s. The (m/s)/s unit can be mathematically simplified to m/s2.
Since acceleration is a vector quantity, it has a direction associated with it. The direction of the acceleration vector depends on two things:
The general principle for determining the acceleation is:
If an object is slowing down, then its acceleration is in the opposite direction of its motion.
This general principle can be applied to determine whether the sign of the acceleration of an object is positive or negative, right or left, up or down, etc. Consider the two data tables below. In each case, the acceleration of the object is in the positive direction. In Example A, the object is moving in the positive direction (i.e., has a positive velocity) and is speeding up. When an object is speeding up, the acceleration is in the same direction as the velocity. Thus, this object has a positive acceleration. In Example B, the object is moving in the negative direction (i.e., has a negative velocity) and is slowing down. According to our general principle, when an object is slowing down, the acceleration is in the opposite direction as the velocity. Thus, this object also has a positive acceleration.
This same general principle can be applied to the motion of the objects represented in the two data tables below. In each case, the acceleration of the object is in the negative direction. In Example C, the object is moving in the positive direction (i.e., has a positive velocity) and is slowing down. According to our principle, when an object is slowing down, the acceleration is in the opposite direction as the velocity. Thus, this object has a negative acceleration. In Example D, the object is moving in the negative direction (i.e., has a negative velocity) and is speeding up. When an object is speeding up, the acceleration is in the same direction as the velocity. Thus, this object also has a negative acceleration.
Observe the use of positive and negative as used in the discussion above (Examples A - D). In physics, the use of positive and negative always has a physical meaning. It is more than a mere mathematical symbol. As used here to describe the velocity and the acceleration of a moving object, positive and negative describe a direction. Both velocity and acceleration are vector quantities and a full description of the quantity demands the use of a directional adjective. North, south, east, west, right, left, up and down are all directional adjectives. Physics often borrows from mathematics and uses the + and - symbols as directional adjectives. Consistent with the mathematical convention used on number lines and graphs, positive often means to the right or up and negative often means to the left or down. So to say that an object has a negative acceleration as in Examples C and D is to simply say that its acceleration is to the left or down (or in whatever direction has been defined as negative). Negative accelerations do not refer acceleration values that are less than 0. An acceleration of -2 m/s/s is an acceleration with a magnitude of 2 m/s/s that is directed in the negative direction.
To test your understanding of the concept of acceleration, consider the following problems and the corresponding solutions. Use the equation for acceleration to determine the acceleration for the following two motions.
Answer: a = 2 m/s/s
Use a = (vf - vi) / t and pick any two points.
a = (8 m/s - 0 m/s) / (4 s)
a = (8 m/s) / (4 s)
a = 2 m/s/s
a = (8 m/s) / (4 s)
a = 2 m/s/s
Answer: a = -2 m/s/s
Use a = (vf-vi) / t and pick any two points.
a = (-8 m/s) / (4 s)
a = -2 m/s/s

Offering a compact profile and the versatility to function as both a crankbait and a jerkbait, the Damiki Hummingbird 70 has been known to attract some big fish. A great choice for clear water or when targeting pressured fish, it features a realistic minnow-shaped body and lifelike detailing. Fish it like a small jerk bait with a twitch and pause retrieve, or as a small minnow crankbait with a fast or slow retrieve, it suspends perfectly on the pause and generates lively deflections. Available in a range of colors, the Damiki Hummingbird 70 buzzes through the competition.

Comments: After seeing these Hummingbirds from Damiki, I knew I wanted to test these out. I have been looking for a small jerk bait that dives to around 6-7 feet but no larger than 3 inches. I wanted a suspending bait for the finicky bass at some local ponds that are heavily pressured. As soon as these arrived, I knew I had hit pay dirt! At 2/7 oz, these are super light. I had concerns that I would have to run these on spinning gear due to the weight, but I was able to get good distance and no backlashes using a quality bait caster and a 7 foot medium rod with moderate action. I used a medium fast as well, but didn't get near the distance. I would highly recommend a moderate or parabolic action to throw these if you plan on using casting gear. You will need the slow action to let the rod load up. Give yourself 3 foot of line below the rod tip and you can send these way out there. Both of my medium fast and medium heavy extra fast spinning rods has no issues throwing this bait. Reels were both 2500's. I tested two colors. The Golden Ghost and the Root Beer. For this review I will be testing out the Golden Ghost color. The Hummingbirds come with size 6 hooks. I have an email into the company to see what brand they use. At the time of this review, I have not received a response yet. In my video follow up review, I will let you know if the company will reveal them. I will say that they are super sharp. Being they are a size 6 hook, I assumed they would be light wired hooks. They are not. Looks like standard hooks to me and they are very strong. The color scheme on this jerk bait is amazing. I really like to run jerk baits that have clear or smoke tinted bottoms. These Hummingbirds do! Bills are very tight, no runs or chips in the paint, and hook connection points are strong. These Hummingon birds come with red eyes as well. Between the eyes and colors, these look very life like. The technical's on these baits show them at 2.8 inches, suspending and depending on the website run from 4-7 feet. After testing them out, all the numbers were correct. These make for a great cranking bait too. I tested the Golden Ghost in my sink first to see it if would suspend. Both with cold and warm water. It did not. I ended up having to add one small split ring to the rear and it suspended very well. Nose down and took about 70 seconds to sink to the bottom of 12 inches of water! Same results at the lake. Water temp 47 degrees. I would say that's about as good of a suspending jerk bait as you could ask for. This was my first run of Damiki hard baits. I didn't know what to expect of them. After running them for a few days, I can say the quality is top notch! One draw back to these is of course the price. At 12 dollars, they run high. That said, most quality jerk baits run anywhere from 7-10 dollars so 12 doesn't see out of line. I would like to see more options for colors, but at 6 different colors, there should be one that can fit your body of water. Overall I can't say enough about these jerk baits. Quality, color and size fit my bill perfectly. Keep in mind, these are a very small jerk bait. This will defiantly not be my last baits from Damiki. They did their home work on these. If your looking for a smaller jerk bait for heavily pressured areas or finicky bass, these are the baits for you. Give them a shot, you won't be disappointed!

How can I know that 2kb is used for the bootloader file ? I want to see for the difference when I upload bootloader and remove bootloader but I cant see it ><
I mean I want to see the difference in the size..LOL. Cause I want to experiment something..Heheh..
In the same vein, I have a similar question but not so technical. I ended up blasting the analog channels and now I get "processor out of sync" and it won't accept a program or run the existing one. Clearly this is bad. If I install a new Atmega328 chip on the card, (assuming that nothing else is destroyed), can I program it in-situ using the Arduino software and get a working unit once more? Just curious. The chips are only a couple of bucks versus a new card being 20-30 dollars.Thanks.
I mean I want to see the changes on the same chip..Is it possible ?The situation is like this :Now I have a fresh atmega 328, So I want to see the maximum memoryNext, I burn bootloader into the fresh atmega chip. Then I want to see the maximum memory for now.Is it possible ?

NRCS Chief Dave White Attends USET Semi-Annual Meeting
Written by Fay Garner, Public Affairs Assistant, NRCS, Alabama
NRCS Chief Dave White joined members of the United South and Eastern Tribes (USET), Inc. and other agency leaders at the USET semi-annual meeting in Mobile, Alabama, June 14-17, 2010. USET's 25 Tribal members are dedicated to enhancing the development of Indian Tribes and improving the capabilities of Tribal governments. They also assist the member Tribes and their governments in dealing effectively with public policy issues and in serving the broad needs of Indian people.
On Tuesday, June 15, a number of people, including Chief White, toured the PBCI reservation to view practices installed using NRCS financial assistance programs. The group also included Chairman Buford Rolin of the Atmore, Alabama Federally recognized Poarch Band of Creek Indians (PBCI); NRCS Assistant Chief Walt Douglas; and Alabama NRCS State Conservationist Bill Puckett. The group saw diverse projects such as cross-fencing, watering facilities and livestock shade structures. They also viewed improvements on the Magnolia Branch Wildlife Reserve timber property and recreational facilities.
On Wednesday, June 16, Chief White will speak to the USET Board of Directors to inform them about the technical and financial assistance available to implement conservation activities on Tribal lands that conserve soil, water, air and wildlife resources.
The Poarch Band of Creek Indians installed 41 watering facilities. The watering facilities improve plant health by
allowing forage plants to rest, making it easier to manage animal waste and improving water quality.
