Climate Change Q&A with Bob Moseley
What is The Nature Conservancy is doing in Illinois to address climate change?
Bob Moseley:
All of the natural areas that the Conservancy has protected and restored in Illinois are an important part of the climate change solution. For more than 50 years, the Conservancy has focused on the restoration and protection of the state's natural landscape and fostered biodiversity in those places. We have protected and restored over 80,000 acres in Illinois and currently own and manage about 17,000 acres. All of these natural areas sequester carbon and are an important solution to reduce greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere.
What is the benefit of the acres in Illinois the Conservancy currently manages?
Bob Moseley:
Preliminary figures show that these 17,000 acres have prevented the release of 1.6 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The amount of carbon sequestered varies based on the age of the existing natural area. The amount of carbon stored on these lands is equivalent to:
* nearly 180 million gallons of gasoline or
* 3.6 billion miles driven by the average car or
* keeping 150,000 cars off the road for a year or
* offsetting the electricity consumption of 213,000 average American households for a year or
* the equivalent of 72 days of emissions from a typical Illinois coal-fired power plant.
How does restoration factor into the equation?
Bob Moseley:
We calculate that our restoration activity sequesters about 12 tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere every year. In particular, the root systems of prairie plants store large amounts of carbon. This annual accumulation rate is equivalent to:
* 1.4 million gallons of gasoline or
* 27 million car miles or
* keeping over 1,100 cars off the roads each year or
* offsetting the electricity of over 1,600 households for a year.
What are your plans for the ongoing threat of climate change?
Bob Moseley:
In addition to continuing to sequester carbon in natural areas, we are developing ways to manage Illinois' landscape so that it is resilient to a warming climate. Some of these projects are further explained in our Annual Report. I also served as the lead author on the Chicago Wilderness Climate Action Plan for Nature [1.27MB PDF]. This plan is a first-of-its-kind document outlining strategies to preserve the urban region's natural areas for the long-term, despite new threats posed by climate change. We are also assisting the Illinois Department of Natural Resources with a climate change revision of its Illinois Wildlife Action Plan that will help the state's fish and wildlife management adapt to a new future.
Where can I find out more about what the Conservancy is doing world-wide to combat climate change?
Bob Moseley:
The Conservancy is working on a range of land and seascapes to address climate change. More information is available.

Hatem Ben Arfa will return to the squad for tomorrow's home game against Crystal Palace, and he will most likely be given a run-out in the second half, because Newcastle could need his unique ability to get through what is expected to be a tough defensive performance from Tony Pulis' Palace side.
Ben Arfa and Alan Pardew
The 27 year-old winger has not played since the Tottenham disaster because of a groin strain, and after that game he was lambasted by manager Pardew in the dressing room because of his poor work rate, and there's now a decent possibility that he could be sold in the summer, with just one year left on his four and a half year deal at the club.
Ben Arfa returned to full training this week, and this is what Newcastle manager Alan Pardew told the Shields Gazette today:
"I need to weigh it up with everything else," "Hatem needs to deliver. I'm concerned with his assists and his goals. He needs to produce for us."
"The last few games he's played, there weren't as many as there should have been. But I think his confidence is better, and I hope that part of it improves."
"Hatem missed six days' training last week," "We've put some work into him. We think he's in a better place." "I don't think he's ready for a 90-minute game in this team at the moment."
"Obviously, he'll be involved."
In 25 appearances this season ben Arfa has three goals and seven assists, but he hasn't produced many goals or assists for the side for a while, which is what the manager is referring to.
Tomorrow would be a great time for Ben Arfa to come on and change the game for us, and show some of that magic we know he possesses in spades.
And it may take a player of Ben Arfa's unique and immense abilities to open up the Palace defense tomorrow – we hope the 13 times capped French International can do just that.
Newcastle definitely need a win tomorrow, after last Saturday's poor performance in London.
Howay The Lads!!

Apple's iOS 6 Maps Leads Australian Motorists to Dangerous Areas

Apple Maps is a little confused about where Mildura is
Australian police are warning citizens and tourists not to use
Apple Maps in iOS 6
when traveling through the dangerous terrain of Mildura.
Police from the city of Mildura, which is a regional city in northwestern Victoria, Australia, are concerned that Apple's new homemade mapping service in iOS 6 is taking people to inaccurate (and dangerous) areas -- where they've become stranded.
The problem is that Apple Maps places Mildura in the middle of the Murray Sunset National Park, but in reality, Mildura is about 43 miles (or 70 km) from that location.
Not only is this a lengthy inconvenience, it's also a danger to the lives of motorists who were duped by Apple Maps. The area in Murray Sunset National Park, which it claims is Mildura, is a very hot and dry area that can reach temperatures of nearly 115 degrees Fahrenheit (or 46 degrees Celsius).
Mildura Police have already found stranded motorists who were lost out in the Murray Sunset National Park without food and water for as long as 24 hours.
Mildura Police have contacted Apple to fix the issue.
Earlier this year, Apple ditched Google Maps as its main iOS maps app in favor of its own in-house maps service. Apple Maps debuted with the iOS 6 launch, but the application failed miserably when it
came to navigation and geography
. It displayed locations that didn't exist, represented existing locations in an unrecognizable way or gave false directions.
This forced Apple CEO Tim Cook to have to apologize to customers for the company's poor job on the new app.
Shortly after,
Apple Vice President of iOS Software
Scott Forstall was booted
from the company. He oversaw much of the mapping development, and aside from that, failed to get along with other company executives and employees.
Richard Williamson, manager of the Apple mapping team, was fired as well for the horrible job on Apple's new maps service.

He read Borges and admired him, but the title of The Universal History of iniquity gave him an immediate jolt.
Residents of South Carolina divorce at a rate twice as high as for that den of iniquity, Washington, D.C.
He stormed legendary spots like Palladium and Tunnel, and turned them into strobe-lit dens of iniquity.
The guerrillas also attacked the hotel, he says, because it was a den of iniquity in the eyes of the puritanical insurgency.
A cynic might question the use of religion as a landing pad when one is tumbling from a place of power into the abyss of iniquity.
From here we would issue in force to close for the night the various dens of iniquity.
You don't imagine that I would be guilty of such an iniquity?
There is no iniquity that has been so often visited with the immediate curse of God.
If he knew of all our iniquity why did he not publish it sooner?
Full then of iniquity, full of uncharitableness, full of all wickedness is this practice; and consequently full it is of folly.
c.1300, "hostility, malevolence; a hostile action," from Old French iniquité "wickedness, unfavorable situation," from Latin iniquitatem (nominative iniquitas) "unequalness, unevenness, injustice," noun of quality from iniquus "unjust, unequal; slanting, steep," from in- "not" (see in- (1)) + aequus "just, equal" (see equal). For vowel change, see acquisition. Meaning "evil, wickedness" is from late 14c.

Actually, it always matters. But data lend particular insight into an important role that audiences want museums to play right now.
"Are museums perceived as experts – and are they trusted? To what extent?" These are the questions that I hoped to shine a light upon when I requested a topic-specific data cut on cultural organizations from the National Awareness, Attitudes, and Usage Study. The NAAU is an ongoing study regarding market perceptions of visitor-serving organizations and it currently quantifies feedback from over 108,000 respondents. The resulting data reveal important takeaways for museums today – and specifically underscore an important role that the market expects museums to play. As a heads-up, the data below is cut for the United States market and not only high-propensity visitors. In other words, this isn't simply "what people who believe in climate change" think about museums.
The data and analysis in this article contribute to several debates taking place in the visitor-serving industry right now from crowd-curated exhibits and the "education vs. entertainment" debate, to implications regarding participation in last week's March for Science. Knowing how much people trust museums is important information for developing relevant and sustainable organizations. But data reveal that being trusted comes with the responsibility to communicate action and recommend mission-driven behaviors.
Hey museums, you have the superpower of public trust. Like your superpower of being facilitators of shared experiences, you may not even realize the importance of this superpower. Remember: Your organization may declare importance, but the market determines relevance. Here's what the market thinks about cultural organizations when it comes to credibility, trust, and their duty to the communities they serve.
Museums are highly credible sources of information
Aquariums, art museums, history museums, science centers/museums, natural history museums, and zoos are highly credible sources of information. And, as the data indicate, these values aren't merely "good," they're rather fantastic! With values in the upper-seventies, there is a strong level of agreement with the statement "[Entity type] is a highly credible source of information."
While the strength of the sentiment may or may not surprise you, what is notable are the perceptions of museums as credible sources when compared to NGOs, federal agencies, and even the daily newspaper. Yes, folks, museums are trusted more than the daily newspaper.
The NGO category includes non-governmental organizations that are not museums. The mean values at 64.2 for NGOs and 61.3 for state agencies indicate a relative level of credibility – with perceptions largely influenced by the degree to which the respective NGO or agency conforms to the respondent's worldview. For example, no matter what the integrity of the information published by the Natural Resources Defense Council, an avowed climate change denier is unlikely to find the NRDC unassailably credible. Federal agencies (with a mean value of 51.4), represent an even more bifurcated public view – which makes sense in our current partisan condition.
These data tie into the never-ending "education vs. entertainment" priority debate within visitor-serving organizations. It's a never-ending debate because there isn't a clear winner. Data suggest that cultural organizations need to be both entertaining and educational in order to succeed, though they play different roles in the visitor experience. It's also a never-ending debate because – although the two may be unstoppable when they team up – the topic has become stupidly polarizing among some industry professionals. It's divided within some organizations (e.g. education vs. marketing departments) and outside of them (e.g. topic-experts vs. museum consultants). Again, they play different roles, but we really should write a 'thank you' note to whomever invented that silly/awesome word "edu-tainment." (Anybody know his or her address?)
Entertainment value is critical for an organization's solvency and success, but organizations that veer too far on the "entertainment" side of things risk losing the reputational equity of credibility. And it's an area in which museums shine.
Museums are trusted
Not only are museums viewed as highly credible sources of information, they are also trusted entities overall. This type of trust is not to be taken lightly, and it's a testament to organizations that stand by their missions to educate and inspire audiences.
This is important information for all museums contemplated in these data, and it is especially worthy of an extra look for zoos and aquariums. Zoos and aquariums are trusted by the market at-large…and rather significantly so. I point this out because it lends context to some of the debates taking place in the zoo and aquarium world regarding captive animals. Certainly, IMPACTS data reveal stark trend lines regarding perceptions of exhibits such as dolphin shows, but the market at large still largely trusts zoos and aquariums to evolve and make value-based decisions driven by their missions. This is not an excuse for zoos and aquariums not to listen up and evolve alongside market perceptions of "right" and "wrong" (to the extent that they may/may not be evolving). It's the opposite. It's a reminder not to let people down.
It may be argued that museums are trusted because they employ and/or consult topic experts and thus provide expert content. That might be it, friends! Regardless: Trusted, they are.
These data also provide aid for thinking about crowd-curated exhibits. The market views museums as expert sources of information. While crowd-curated exhibits certainly can be an effective way to engage the public depending on how they are administrated and actualized, they also risk perceptually undermining a museum's own hard-earned trust and credibility. Engagement is super great! Engagement that results in a greater loss of equity than the payoff (especially when there are other avenues for engagement) is not super great.
Museums are not seen as having political agendas
Here's how these data fit in with the rest: They underscore that museums are seen as factual and impartial – more so than government agencies and the daily newspaper.
Are museums trusted because they are not seen as having political agendas? Maybe, but you can only stick the landing there if you jump to some conclusions. While I am sharing this alongside trust and credibility metrics, I'm not yet certain of the exact nature of the relationship between being political and being trustworthy as it relates to visitor-serving organizations – and neither are you. (If you don't have data, then you have an opinion. That's cool, but it doesn't count here. Mine doesn't, either.) There's more to these values – and they are interesting and worth putting on our thinking caps to explore.
"Political" may understandably correlate with having connection to or trying to influence policy. This may be the reason why aquariums and zoos indicate a higher level of agreement with the statement, despite having lower levels of government funding and more earned revenue imperative than other visitor-serving entities. Some zoos and aquariums encourage audiences to vote in a certain direction (e.g. in favor of plastic bag bans). It makes sense that NGOs may have the strongest perception of having a political agenda – they openly do things like encourage people to fight global warming and feed the homeless. Federal and state agencies being perceived as having a political agenda seems to make good sense, too, from where I stand.
Confidence in cultural organizations took a plunge after the presidential election, and it remains low. The New York Times reports that we are divided in terms of consumer optimism: Some of us have great confidence in the economy, and some of us don't. Unfortunately, those who profile as high-propensity visitors to cultural organizations largely fall in the "don't" category. The reason for this dip seems to be concern that organizations are not standing by their missions (e.g. science museums remaining oddly quiet when confronted with "alternative facts" concerning climate change, or concern about board members that don't support an organization's mission running the show). In sum, this may not be a matter of "being political," but rather one of integrity.
Indeed, taking a political stand for the sake of taking a political stand seems like it may be mission drift for most organizations. However, recent happenings suggest that when your mission is pinned against a "politicized" topic, standing up for your mission wins. This is illustrated by the data-informed success seen at MoMA when they highlighted artwork by artists from countries impacted by the original Muslim-majority nation travel ban.
Museums are viewed as impartial entities, and this may be because they are trusted to present the facts with expertise. Where things get messy is when an organization's very mission becomes politicized. Or perhaps more simply: when facts become politicized.
People believe that museums should recommend action
This data set is probably the most important. People believe that museums should suggest or recommend certain behaviors or ways for the general public to support their causes and missions. Got that? People think that it's the job of museums to recommend behaviors. That's huge, and it's likely tied to the combined force of the high levels of trust and credibility that these organizations possess.
Consider that recommending action is not the same as "being political." Recommending things like cutting down on single use plastics (as a zoo or aquarium may advise) or contributing funding for art programs that an organization carries out (as an art museum may recommend), may not be seen as necessarily "political" to the market, but rather seen as an organization walking its talk in terms of supporting its mission. The data doesn't specifically support museums recommending protesting (for instance). The data support organizations leveraging the trust that the market has in them to suggest behaviors that underscore their missions – which the market perceives not to be innately political.
Museums are becoming forums for community engagement on important issues related to their missions, and that may be a terrific thing. Museums are heroes for their missions, and there's incredible potential to lead the charge in helping to actualize these missions. That's an important superpower – and it's an enormously humbling responsibility.
Museums, zoos, and aquariums are highly trusted to produce and output content and information. They are viewed as expert, factual, and impartial – more so than government agencies and even daily newspapers. The market – which generally doesn't like to be told what to do in today's connected world – is even willing to accept prescriptive recommendations from museums.
Museums are experts. Museums can make expert recommendations, and people believe that they should do just that. To shirk this market-determined capability for influence may be the greatest blow to an organization's mission of all. Data suggest that museums may play a role in leading us all toward a more educated, connected, and inspired world…if they are willing to take up the calling.

The province of Murica includes coastal areas and inland regions. It is also home to the Segura, a fertile farm products area. Many visitors agendas include the city of Cartagena and the inland sea, La Manga del Mar Menor. Some go to Murcia, a university town. They admire the Baroque façade of the Cathedral and its Gothic interior. Many also opt to visit Puerto de Mazarron, on the coast. If you decide to head for the coastal area, plan to spend a weekend in Puerto de Mazarron. In Puerto de Mazarron, tourism tends to focus on the beach. Mazarron Bay, the Sierras Moreras and other mountains create a desirable environment for beach activities. Puerto de Mazarron attractions are part of the Costa Calida. Other Puerto de Mazarron sights, however, focus on the architecture. You can visit the modernist Town Hall or see the Church of San Andres with its Mudejar ceiling in symbiotic Mazarron. If you are still looking for things to do in Puerto de Mazarron try walking along the promenade the Paseo Maritimo. This is also a good place to do your shopping in Puerto de Mazarron. Try to come during the Fiesta of San Jose. This will give you a taste of Puerto de Mazarron culture.

The Tories paraded two young apprentices at party HQ today as they fought to change the upper class image of David Cameron's top team.
Party chairman Grant Shapps said the appointments of Jacob Double, 19, and Ruth Barron, 20, were "inspired" by the Evening Standard's Ladder for London campaign.
But an attempt to paint the Tories as a "Workers Party" was mocked by Labour - and marred by backbenchers complaints at the elitist image of David Cameron's inner circle.
London Tory MP Robert Halfon said a name change and a low £1 joining fee would "give working people a real reason to join the new Workers' Party".
Former Prime Minister John Major was drafted in to make a speech recalling his working class roots in Brixton. Opening the new Tory HQ he told how he "worked during the day, studied at night and joined a political party which would help give me a step up in life, rather than a hand out".
But Labour shadow minister Jonathan Ashworth jeered: "You can't pose as the 'workers' party' when you've made working people £1,600 worse off while cutting taxes for the wealthiest."
No 10 were stung last week when a Tory MP told the FT: "There are six people writing the manifesto and five of them went to Eton; the other went to St Paul's."
Another, Pauline Latham, protested: "Everything is looked at through the prism of London."
Senior Tories today denied their 2015 manifesto will promise not to form another coalition with the Liberal Democrats.
The Telegraph said Mr Cameron wanted to give a clearer choice between Tory and Labour rule.
But a senior source said such a public pledge would be a "distraction" from the key message on policies.
As sitting PM Mr Cameron has a constitutional right to seek to govern as a minority government leader if he falls short of victory by a few seats.
Currently polling in the low 30s, the Tories would need to boost their share of the vote closer to 40% to hope to govern alone.Reuse content

Dave Leahy brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 23 Designs von 9 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
I am tasked with setting up a blog / site for the newly formed Irish Society of Cinematographers. I am looking for a range of logos for the client to approve for use in their correspondence and website. The Society is for professional cinematographers (or Directors of Photography) similar to that of http://www.bscine.com or http://www.theasc.com (in Britain and USA respectively)
New market, audience will be people in the film and television industry
A logo that incorporates centrally the letters ISC (for Irish Society of Cinematographers) plus is wrapped by the full title "The Irish Society of Cinematographers" (See http://www.bscine.com or http://www.theasc.com) Whilst these sites should be referenced we would like something more contemporary that perhaps also includes a film camera / film reference much like they both do.

NORFOLK, Va. -- Sailors assigned to Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit 2 Company 21 and the crew of Military Sealift Command rescue and salvage ship USNS Grapple participated in a debeaching exercise at Anzio Beach, Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek – Fort Story, Va., Dec. 15.
The exercise, part of a week-long final evaluation problem for Company 21, provided an authentic training environment to certify the team for deployment. The 17 sailor team freed the 400 foot former U.S. Coast Guard buoy tender Salvia.
Company 21 had to show they could solve problems they may face on deployment, from debeaching and towing the Salvia to Anti-terrorism and Force Protection and an underwater search and recovery.
"The exercise went extremely well," said Chief Warrant Officer 3 Jason Bennett, MDSU 2 training officer.
Mother Nature plays a vital role in salvage missions like this explained Bennett. High tides and swift currents make it hard to steady the rescue and salvage ships.
Grapple provided the platform and towing capability for Company 21.
"We had about 80,000 pounds of pull, along with 85 percent of power on the Grapple's two main engines and pulled the vessel out free," said Bennett.
"The exercise not only certifies the team, it was also a global partnership between Military Sealift Command and MDSU," said Master Diver Master Chief Billy Gilbert assigned to Explosive Ordnance Disposal Training and Evaluation Unit 2. The Grapple and other ships from MSC will be used in future salvage missions if a ship runs aground.''
Gilbert compared the exercise to real life missions. MDSU and MSC successfully freed the grounded USS Port Royal in Honolulu in 2009. MDSU also provided diving and salvage during the search and recovery efforts at the Minneapolis Bridge collapse in 2007.
MDSU 2 is part of Navy Expeditionary Combat Command. They provide combat ready, and rapidly deployable mobile diving and salvage teams to conduct harbor clearance, salvage, underwater search and recovery, and underwater emergency repairs in any environment.

The Slants are the only all-Asian "Chinatown dance rock" band in America. So why do I think Hulk Hogan rather than Mr. Fuji when listening to Pageantry? Is it their dope red and yellow dragon logo?
Few looked as good out of the ring as the Hulkster. However, like Hogan's work in the ring, The Slants brand of 1980s high-hat driven pop featuring hooky guitar licks and whispering, cutie-pie keyboards doesn't bring much excitement to the musical match.
On "Every Chance I Get" the verse reeks of Green Day but the chorus is the howl of Electric-era Ian Astbury. Aron Moxley's ability to ape others, including the whiney moan of Morrissey, hints at his karaoke prowess but that only makes me want to jam Kill Uncle and curl up for a cry. The first nine tracks kept me wondering: Is this Orgy? KMFDM? A New Order tribute? It isn't until "How the Wicked Live" that the band sounds like themselves, dropping spook-tastic nasal keyboards and a sing-a-long butt-rocker of a chorus.
So-called experts decried Hogan as all style no substance. He showed them style was enough. In the case of The Slants, style might be enough for some but Mr. Fuji is my guy.

Halperin declared Republicans the "winner of the week" -- did not note McCain campaign's week of controversies, admitted falsehoods
Research ››› ››› MATTHEW BIEDLINGMAIER & LILY YAN
In a July 11 entry on The Page, Mark Halperin declared "Republicans" the "winner of the week" over Democrats without noting any of the admitted falsehoods by or controversies involving the McCain campaign over the previous week.
In a July 11 entry on his website, The Page, Time magazine senior political analyst Mark Halperin declared "Republicans" the "winner of the week" over Democrats without noting any of the admitted falsehoods by or controversies involving the McCain campaign over the previous week, as Steve Benen pointed out on his blog The Carpetbagger Report. Halperin asserted: "Despite Obama's splashy news that he'll deliver his nomination acceptance speech in a 76,000-seat stadium, his campaign is still proceeding with caution -- leaving Obama open to aggressive GOP attacks." In addition to naming Republicans the overall winners, Halperin named the Republicans winners of three categories: "Public Image," "Iraq," and "Arrival of the Calvary." He pronounced there to be a "tie" on the remaining issue, "Economy."
From Halperin's July 11 entry:
The admitted falsehoods by and controversies involving the McCain campaign that Halperin did not mention in his weekly campaign assessment include the following:
- As Benen noted, during a July 7 town hall meeting in Denver, McCain said: "Americans have got to understand that we are paying present-day retirees with the taxes paid by young workers in America today. And that's a disgrace. It's an absolute disgrace, and it's got to be fixed." On the July 8 edition of CNN's American Morning, McCain said during a discussion of Social Security that young people "pay their taxes and right now their taxes are going to pay the retirement of present-day retirees. That's why it's broken, that's why we can fix it." As The Washington Post reported on July 9, "If that payment system is a disgrace, it has been one since Social Security was created during the Great Depression. For as long as the popular program has existed, today's workers have paid the benefits of today's retirees." The Post added: "Reaction to McCain's statement has been slow to burble, but it is beginning to burst."
- On July 7, Sen. John McCain's falsely asserted: "If you are one of the 23 million small business owners in America who files as an individual rate payer, Senator Obama is going to raise your tax rates." In fact, according to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center's table of 2007 tax returns that reported small-business income, 481,000, not 23 million, of those returns are in the top two income tax brackets -- which include all filers with taxable incomes of more than $250,000. The San Francisco Chronicle reported on July 10 that "McCain's camp acknowledges that only individual business owners making more than $250,000 would pay higher taxes under Obama's plan -- but it insists those businesses will be hurt by the Democrat's proposals."
- In the wake of Iran's test of long-range missiles, McCain asserted: "It's my understanding is that this missile test was conducted by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. This is the same organization that I voted to condemn as a terrorist organization when an amendment was on the floor of the United States Senate. Senator Obama refused to vote. He called it provocative, a provocative step. The fact is, this is a terrorist organization and it should have been branded as such." As CNN.com's Political Ticker blog reported on July 11, "McCain also missed that vote" on designating the Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization. Political Ticker reported that "[t]he McCain campaign admits the error." Additionally, as Political Ticker noted, Obama also sponsored legislation that "would have designated the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization."
- The McCain campaign issued a press release on July 7 stating: "McCain's presidential campaign today released a statement signed by over 300 professional economists in support of John McCain's Jobs for America economic plan." However, a Politico article reported:
Upon closer inspection, it seems a good many of those economists don't actually support the whole of McCain's economic agenda. And at least one doesn't even support McCain for president.
In interviews with more than a dozen of the signatories, Politico found that, far from embracing McCain's economic plan, many were unfamiliar with -- or downright opposed to -- key details. While most of those contacted by Politico had warm feelings about McCain, many did not want to associate themselves too closely with his campaign and its policy prescriptions.
- As Benen noted, in an interview with The Washington Times, former Sen. Phil Gramm (R-TX) said, "You've heard of mental depression; this is a mental recession." He also stated: "We have sort of become a nation of whiners. You just hear this constant whining, complaining about a loss of competitiveness, America in decline. We've never been more dominant; we've never had more natural advantages than we have today." McCain subsequently said, "Phil Gramm does not speak for me. I speak for me." However, Gramm is McCain's National Campaign General co-chair and an economic policy adviser.

On 9 October 2015, the United Kingdom notified the appearance of an unusual late complication, more than eight months after initial recovery, in an Ebola survivor who was infected while working as a healthcare worker in West Africa. As a precautionary measure, 40 close contacts of the case were offered vaccination.
The situation in West Africa is improving further: Liberia was declared Ebola-free on 3 September 2015. Guinea and Sierra Leone report only low-level transmission.

P085 ....... Idle Throttle Angle Too High
1994 Cadillac DeVille 4.9
The Service Engine Soon light went on while I was driving. When I pulled over and did a code search I got a P085. Any recommendations for a fix would be appreciated.

Re: P085 ....... Idle Throttle Angle Too High
This seems to be a pretty normal problem. Do a search for it there are a lot of posts around here about it.
Re: P085 ....... Idle Throttle Angle Too High
It means that the throttle body is dirty and the deposits in the throttle bores are restricting air flow at idle to the point that the idle speed control has no more authority to maintain the correct idle speed.
Take the air cleaner off, hold the throttle wide open and look down the throttle bores. Spray the throttle bores with carb cleaner and scrub the bores and backside of the throttle blades with an old toothbrush. Cleaning the deposits off the bores and throttle blade backsides it will restore the idle air flow to the correct level. When the throttle body is clean, disconnect the battery negative cable for 60 seconds to reset the idle learn offsets to the "clean throttle body" default values.
While you are in the throttle body and looking down the bores....see the two tubes sticking up at you from the intake manifold floor just below the throttle blades...??? Those are the EGR tubes and they are NOT supposed to be full of carbon and crud. Rod them out thoroughly with a piece of stiff wire to remove the deposits. Go all the way down thru the tubes to the cast passage below and make sure that they are clean and unrestricted so that the proper amount of EGR can flow.
Re: P085 ....... Idle Throttle Angle Too High
Thank you Bbobinsky.....Followed your advice and it worked like a charm !
Re: P085 ....... Idle Throttle Angle Too High
Occasionally I guess and get one right....LOL.

Re: P085 ....... Idle Throttle Angle Too High
hi guys i know that this is a old thread but i just got the same problems, i already got *all those code E31, E47, E49, E52, F47 and i just got the E85 making my idle to high. Did you think that all my code will disappears if i follow your advice ?
Re: P085 ....... Idle Throttle Angle Too High
Have you already addresses those other codes? Do you have a key for what those codes are? Some of those won't be resolved just by cleaning the throttle body and/or the EGR tubes.

I'm Sorry, Michael Pollan
By Rowan Jacobsen, "I'm Sorry, Michael Pollan," September/October 2010
Author Rowan Jacobsen takes on Michael Pollan's "Food Rules."
"I like it when the article contains a large photo of the author. "
I did my research, made my list and went on my shopping run. Then, one bright and hopeful May morning, I told my wife and son to enjoy their tea and yogurt, poured myself a bowl of Froot Loops and popped open a can of Red Bull. I'd chosen Froot Loops because of fond childhood memories of watching them turn my milk a wan pink color, but in fact they violated 19 food rules in one Technicolor bowl, everything from "Avoid food products that contain more than five ingredients" (#6)—Froot Loops contain 34—to "Avoid food products that make health claims" (#8). In case you haven't been eating them recently, you might not know that Froot Loops are now a "Good Source of Fiber," according to the box, which also makes the rather ambiguous statement "Family life is better when your kids are healthy!" No argument there.
Somehow the sugar-and-caffeine whammy of my breakfast got me so hopped-up that I was hungry a half-hour later—a perfect time to get my fuel from the same place my car does (#57). I zipped off to the convenience store for some Pringles and a Slim Jim. I was feeling good about paying less and eating more (#44), and I certainly wasn't eating at a table (#58). While I waited for my car to top up, I flipped through the book to see how I was doing.
My eyes fell on #20: "It's not food if it arrived through the window of your car." An unfortunate incident involving a pheasant came to mind, but I knew that wasn't what Pollan meant, so I headed for a McDonald's drive-thru and got myself a Big Mac, which I hadn't had in years. Honestly, it tasted bizarre, but the fries were awesome. Needless to say, I did not eat them slowly (#49). The afternoon was a haze of sweets, sodas and fat-free Pringles.

Knights in
shining armor
On Friday morning, February 1, I had an unfortunate event when all the lug nuts on one of the front wheels of my Jeep decided to "shear off" while on my way to work. Needless to say, thank God I was on a secondary road driving at a slow speed.
No sooner than I started to dial the number for a tow truck, a fellow stopped to assist me, and identified himself as George. He said to give him 10 minutes -- that he'd send a couple guys to assist me.
Bad news
The Bedford County Supervisors' latest zoning proposal is Bad News for Bedford. If you care about lower taxes, better jobs, good schools, preservation of scenic vistas or just protecting the value of your real estate, their proposed changes will be bad for you.
Bill should be voted down
Del. Dave Albo (R-Springfield) has introduced a bill (H2253) in the General Assembly that would repeal the state's Land Preservation Tax Credit (LPC) to fund transportation. The Blue Ridge Land Conservancy stands firmly opposed to this bill and any others that would repeal or lessen the impact of the LPC.
An amazing year
2012 has been an amazing year for Bedford Community Christmas Station.
We moved into a new space at Westgate Shopping Center in September. Volunteers from Brookhill Wesleyan Church, the Junior ROTC at BSTC, and other community groups helped us the with enormous task of moving our equipment and merchandise, setting up racks and shelves, and preparing to serve families in December.
Thank you
The staff of Bedford Domestic Violence Services would like to say a huge "Thank You" to all the wonderful donors who made Christmas possible for those in need at this time of year. We are very proud of the ongoing support we received from local churches, social groups, and individuals.
Prepare to share
The holiday season of Christmas spending is truly out of hand.
Families are over-extending themselves for years to come by "maxing out" numerous credit cards for that one day of celebration. Children are being over-showered with too many material gifts that to some are not really appreciated.
'Mr. Purge' of 2012
House Speaker Boehner is trying his best to purge Tea Party Conservatives so that he can have business as usual.

I'll start out by admitting that I no longer buy your newspaper; I no longer read any print media as it overwhelmingly promotes the progressive agenda, but since you sent me a free one I read it.
After watching "Lincoln" tonight at the local theater in Lynchburg, I came away greatly disturbed by the portrayal of The President.

Data Entry Guidelines
Australian Flood Risk Information Portal - Data Entry Guidelines November 2014
The Australian Flood Studies Database (AFSD) is the main catalogue of flood studies available through the Australian Flood Risk Information Portal (the portal). The AFSD was developed in 2003-2004, and was made available online by Geoscience Australia in 2006. The database provides metadata on Australian flood studies and information on flood risk where it exists. Where available the database also provides a downloadable copy of the flood study and any associated data for flood maps.
The database was designed to capture authoritative Australian flood studies and summaries. It notes the techniques that were used, the data that has been used and the data's custodian. The initial design was developed with the view to encourage commissioning agents to more comprehensively capture relevant metadata in future flood study reports, such as the horizontal and vertical accuracy of surveys and data custodian. It was hoped that in turn, more detailed reporting might then help facilitate, where appropriate, the potential reuse of survey data. The database enables consultants and others tendering and undertaking work for local government to quickly discover existing flood studies relating to an area. Organisations wishing to commission flood studies (particularly small councils with less experience with flooding or risk analysis) may also find exploring the database useful to gain insight into work undertaken in other regions.
The Data Entry Guidelines are intended to familiarise new users with the fields in the AFSD Data Entry Application, as well as provide guidance on completing data entry to a level acceptable for inclusion. This guide is designed to be used by people with a range of experience, from those with very limited experience with flood study reports through to highly experienced flood modellers. The guide outlines the minimum level of information required for each field, and also seeks to clarify some potential issues that may arise during the data entry process. The guidelines may be updated over time to reflect changes in the portal during development.
Any feedback on this guide may be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com, noting the guideline version number.
Intellectual property permissions
Some flood studies include additional copyright or disclaimer statements. This information should be read carefully as some studies may require permission to be sought before entering data into the database. Flood studies with such statements should be cleared for inclusion in the database. Please consult with your organisation's intellectual property policy if you have any doubt.
Obtaining a log in and changing account details
Log in details can be provided on request to individuals who either produce, commission or manage flood studies and flood data. The initial request should be by email to email@example.com and include the following details:
- Name
- Job title
- Place of employment
- State
- Email address
- Telephone contact number
A confirmation email will be sent when the account is established.
Log in and account details can be changed via the home page by clicking the username, after inital log in:
Should a study be entered?
The AFSD is a repository for authoritive Australian flood studies. For a study to be included in the AFSD, it must first satisfy a number of criteria and/or undergo a number of checks. The suitability criteria are designed to ensure a consistent level of detail and content in the AFSD. The criteria include:
- The study must not already be in database. The database can be searched via the Australian Flood Risk Information Portal.
- The study must be a 'Flood Study', that is, it must include some modelling (usually software based) of flood inundation. Relevant modelling would usually include hydrological estimates and/or hydraulic modelling.
- Other related studies, such as floodplain management studies or plans, should be added as attachments to the 'Flood Study', and all relevant information should be included under the flood study entry. For example, damage assessments based on the modelling of a flood study should also be entered into the database, preferably attached to the flood study from which they are derived.
- Studies where the primary focus is not to document the techniques and results of a flood study (for example levee construction, town plans, discussion papers and council meetings) should not be included in the database as a new flood study entry. These studies may become additional attachments to relevant flood studies if they add important content to the entry. For example, any completed or planned action resulting from the study could be included as an attachment to the original study.
- Documents that are in a preliminary draft state (e.g. hand written comments or an incomplete document) should generally not be included in the database. Contacting the person who provided the report to obtain the final report is encouraged. If the draft is complete and currently in use by the commissioning organisation however, then it should be entered into the database.
Studies that have not considered these suitability checks before submission may not pass quality assurance requirements.
Overall data capture and quality review process
Flood study data suitable for capture in the database includes general information about the study, flood study analyses, surveys, mapping, flood mitigation strategies and digital copies of relevant documents (scanned if necessary). Existing studies can be linked to new studies and vice versa. New studies are submitted using the submissions page which includes all of the information entered.
Once a study has been submitted, the metadata entered undergoes a quality assurance check by Geoscience Australia. During this process a submitted study may be returned to the submitter with a request for changes or additional information. Additional information that has been clearly missed during data entry, or missing appendices and other attachments may be sought. After the requests have been addressed the submitter can re-submit the study.
The process of data entry into the Australian Flood Studies Database is summarised as shown below.
The portal is currently under review and further details on data entry will be provided shortly. If you have any queries about the portal or data entry please email email@example.com.

Comment on: Have your say: UK film industry's future
People are concerned because there seems to be no premeditated plan aside from closing the agency. The government should direct the UKFC to submit a review of independent production in the UK which could respond to specific questions and concerns that they clearly have. This should also include direct responses from independent producers working in the UK, regardless of the support they have or have not received from the UKFC during its tenure. There needs to be a transparent consultation process with a distinct time line to the next steps. Essentially a preventative care approach seems to me the most appropriate course of action. I'm not concerned that the government is going to stop supporting the industry, I'm concerned that the government is not going to support the process and solutions that allow us to sustain an independent British industry.

Hawaii Gets an 'F' for Disaster Preparedness
Hawaii flunked disaster preparedness, according to a rating from the American College of Emergency Physicians. The group gave the Aloha State and "F," because of its failure to support emergency patients. ACEP President Dr. Alex Rosenau says Congress and President Obama must make it a national priority to strengthen the emergency medical care system. In addition to Hawaii, 12 other states flunked the national report card. They include Delaware, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Montana, South Carolina, Utah, Vermont, Washington state, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

Tips for Reinforcing Learning at Home
Oftentimes I am asked by parents what they can do from home to help their child be more successful in school. Although there isn't a "one-size-fits-all" solution for helping your child at home, below are some tips that you may find useful when working with your child at home to reinforce the learning that is occurring in the classroom.
· Math facts are an important element of Mathematics. If your child has not mastered their Math facts (addition, subtraction, and multiplication), then it should be a top priority. You can provide additional practice for them using flashcards. I also have some simple Math games available. If you would be interested in utilizing one of these resources, please contact me.
· One particularly common challenge for students are word problems. Remind your child to REALLY think about the question. Focus on key terms, determine the best strategy, and most importantly, they must show their work!!!
· The Golden Rule for Reading is "practice makes perfect."
· Check for understanding often. This can be done by asking your child to summarize what they have just read, or by asking them a few questions about their story. If they do not understand what they are reading, remind them to stop and reread. It is ineffective to continue reading when they do not understand what they've read.
· If your child struggles to read independently, remind them to use their reading strategies to decode words.
· Allow your child to self-select their reading whenever possible. Remember that the public library is a convenient, FREE resource.
In general, it is important to remember that a routine established early in the school-year will set the expectations for learning at home. Make homework a priority. It provides your child with additional practice for skills being taught in the classroom. If you find that your child is having difficulty with a particular concept, make note of it on their homework so that I can review it with them once again and/or provide them with additional opportunities for practice. Happy Learning!

This morning one of the kids asked "Why do we have to read scriptures every morning"? That launched
a discussion on the protection we get when we are obedient and do the things - like prayer and scripture study - we are asked to do each day. Both mom and dad gave counsel on how we are (I think literally) shielded by those simple acts. I don't think we'll ever know all the times danger has averted itself because we followed through on these two things.
Then we read our normal chapter a day. Miraculously (it NEVER happens) we still had several minutes to spare before the oldest had to leave.
We talked again, to all the kids this time, of that protection given to us by daily prayer and reading the word of God. We asked them if there was a difference between the spirit felt at school vs. our home.
I asked Potter "Do you ever hear swearing at school?" He said "Phhfft. ALL the time".
I asked the next oldest. "Bugs, do you ever hear swearing at school?" He said "Yep".
I pointed out that that was one instance where you can notice a real difference. I told them that we work hard at home to provide an environment where they can feel safe and loved. Their dad said when they leave home we do our best to put a vital armor on them till they get back to us again.
One son was prompted to open up. "Is it bad that sometimes, even though I don't swear, I get the words in my mind sometimes?"
I said that it was perfectly normal, especially for anyone around it during the day. I told him that the more we fill our mind with good things, the easier it is to push out the bad stuff. I pointed out that Rosebud and Princess don't get those things into their mind yet because they don't hear it - and even I (and I started to cry as I realized what I was saying) don't hardly EVER have to be around a morally hostile environment. Through my tears I told Strider and each boy how much I loved and admired them for going out into the world all day, every day, slaying dragons till they come home.
It's rare for me to be in the halls of the jr high or another place where I am painfully reminded how much yuck there is. My husband and kids have to actually use their armor all day long. I am so blessed. I am so humbled.
I remember how hard it is to be a kid. Or do I? I remember the temptations they are faced with. Or do I? Not only do I certainly forget, but man alive, it's gotten terrible out there in my 20 yrs since jr high.
I must rely on my Savior who knows these children and their trials more clearly than I do to let me know how to protect them from evil. How to teach them to shun evil. How to instruct them on ways to fill their hearts with goodness. It's a tough world! I wish I could fight their battles for them. But somehow, some way, I am told they will be stronger for it. I hope so.

About the Book
The Argonautica
The Argonautica is the dramatic story of Jason's quest for the Golden Fleece and his relations with the dangerous princess Medea. The only surviving Greek epic to bridge the gap between Homer and late antiquity, this epic poem is the crowning literary achievement of the Ptolemaic court at Alexandria, written by Appolonius of Rhodes in the third century BC. Appollonius explores many of the fundamental aspects of life in a highly original way: love, deceit, heroism, human ignorance of the divine, and the limits of science, and offers a gripping and sometimes disturbing tale in the process. This major new prose translation combines readability with accuracy and an attention to detail that will appeal to general readers and classicists alike.
