Here are some recent comments from the Papelbon thread:
Repeating myself somewhat from another thread, but I think what we've been seeing is Papelbon adjusting his approach for the long haul. As impressive as he was from 06-08, it's not realistic to expect him to be able to look that dominant and blow away hitter after hitter year after year without his arm falling off. He can still reach back for something extra if he needs it, but I'm guessing he's determined that he needs to find more ways to get guys out in order to last.
Found this Baseball Prospectus chart interesting. Heading into tonight's game, the hitters Papelbon had faced so far this season had compiled the highest weighted aggregate OPS in the American League for 2010.
Collectively the 38 batters had put up a .275/.362/.457/.819 overall line. Paps has held them to .133/.316/.233/.549, and he's done it while working under a 1.864 average leverage index, the 12th highest among 92 AL relievers. So yeah, I'm going to cut him a little bit of slack on the 8:5 K/BB ratio.
The thing is, it's not the good hitters (based on 2009 stats) that are getting to him. Against those who had an OPS under 800 last year, they have a 689 OPS in 21 PA with 3K and 4 BB (assuming my calculations are correct). ... In any event, the OPS 800+ guys from last year have an 083 BA, so maybe that's his strategy, getting the bad hitters out has become boring for him ... He is kind of like the Dice-K of closers at this point, getting the job done, but not looking very good doing it.
Here is Papelbon's movement chart from the closer's latest volatile performance [Saturday night]. None of his offspeed pitches, slider or sinker, really dropped relative to gravity, yet the two sinkers did get swinging strikes -- mostly due to their location off the outside corner and inside below the knees, respectively. I also thought that the subjective impression of the slider was positive: it seemed to float, then dive, although the movement figures don't reflect that impression. Papelbon's fastball in 2010 has been unimpressive -- the first three Orioles looked for high fastballs early in the count, got them, and hit them -- but his breaking pitches have been good, even when thrown for strikes. An old cliche has it that the hardest pitch to hit is a major-league slider, not because of the absolute movement but because the illusion of a floating or darting pitch is the hardest for the hitter's brain to process effectively in time to translate it into hand-eye co-ordination. I would expect Papelbon to experiment more with the slider and splitter as it becomes apparent that he doesn't have his old velocity, and that good location, while important, isn't enough by itself when the hitters have a good scouting report, especially one that says: gear up for the high fastball early in the count.

Asura, Crafting, Elementalist, Guild Wars, Guild Wars 2, Stories, Talk Tyria
Three topics. Here we go!
Gamescom and PAX
Arenanet has presented a lot of new information over the past couple of weeks at the yearly conventions, including a new video and a new demo. Most blogs have commented in the moment and picked apart some of the changes already, but I want to offer my opinion on some things that I found interesting. GW2Guru has threads dedicated to all of the new information. You can find a great collection of videos, articles, and tweets for Gamescom and Pax here and here, respectively (if you haven't already found them yourself). Big thanks also to Karasu, MeWulf, and Elixabeth at Talk Tyria for posting about their experiences at the conventions. You can read what they posted about Gamescom and PAX starting here and here, respectively.
On with the blogging!
I think the Gamescom Trailer (here) was very well done. Great music, great "cinematic" video of the dragon boss in the demo, lots of great scenes showing off Destiny's Edge. The latter half of the video is a lot of clips of skills, including those we've already seen, but there are several new ones including the necromancer elite skill Lich Form. Check it out if you haven't seen it.
ANet is iterating several game mechanics including energy, dodge, skill acquisition, and traits. Energy has been removed and dodge has it's own button now with the biggest limiting factor for both being recharge times. Skills 1-5 (weapon skills) are now acquired by using the weapon several times, rather than purchasing them from a trainer. I think this is a nice change and it looks like the grind factor will be minimal, which was the biggest complaint from fans. Also, they are currently revamping the traits system (this was discussed in one of the panels), but there is little info on what that means. I think it is tied into the skill acquisition stuff. Nothing major though.
All 5 races were playable in the demo, so there are a lot of videos of each race on youtube. In addition, character customization was implemented in the demo (it was limited, but still quite nice). I'm very excited about this and had I been at one of the conventions I'm sure I would have spent the majority of my demo time customizing my characters. There are several videos on the GW2Guru Gamescom thread that show this, but give Tigerfeet's blog a read. She's posting several pics of the customization options for each race as part of her extended "pelt watch" series.
PvP was a major showcase of both conventions. While this is not my forte or interest area, it looked pretty nice. It's very FPS oriented and is similar to GW PvP. I'm more excited about the casual PvP of WvWvW where there are lots of people involved. If PvP is your thing, check out the Guru threads and see the videos there. ANet takes on a couple guilds head to head and Izzy shows off his mad skills.
What's in a Name?
Changing topics, there has been an interesting discussion going on over on Hunter's blog about "Guild Wars." There has been very little information about guilds released so far and what we know can be found on the wiki. What I would like to highlight are the apparent lack of guild vs guild (GvG) and the discussion of how many guilds a player can join.
In my opinion, ANet needs to spend a bit more time addressing the name of the game. Yes, the guild wars are in the lore and are part of Tyria's history, but they were history in GW1 with the Searing supposedly ending the wars. The only thing close to representing the name of the game in GW1 was GvG. By comparison, the MMO "Rifts" is about, you guessed it, rifts.
GW2 is about Dragons. It is about races coming together to slay dragons. It is about suspending racial hatreds and forming alliances. Perhaps there will be an emphasis on these alliances being called guilds, but they surely won't be at war. The name "Guild Wars" has less meaning, in my opinion, without the guild emphasis, which is sad, since there are millions of people playing the game and waiting to play the sequel. Hunter wrote something that I agree with completely on the subject on a different post. He said: "I guess in the end its just a name that serves no other purpose, which is fine, I didn't buy it for the name." I personally would like the name to mean something, but if it doesn't, oh well. I'll still have fun playing it.
As for the number of guilds available to players, this is a feature I'm excited about. In GW1 you could have 1 guild per account and be a part of an alliance of up to 10 guilds. In GW2, you can be in as many guilds as you want. That's my favorite part. No limit. You want to be in 8 guilds? Go right ahead. Have a guild for every gaming interest. Have a different guild for every character. Or, join one guild only, if that's what you want. I plan on being in several guilds and maybe starting one of my own. It looks like there will be lots of goodies for guilds too, but we'll know more on that later.
Belzan 2.0
Finally, I want to briefly talk Belzan. I am making several changes to Belzan and his story. He will be a very different character in GW2 and I'll be writing a bit more of his lore in the coming months. This is in part an extension of what I'd planned to do with him all along and in part a response to some of the cool stuff I saw in the Gamescom/PAX videos. I will be posting a story that tells Belzan's origin in the near future, as well as at least one post talking about my plans for him in GW2. He's very old and there are many stories about him. Fæcce will separate truth from fiction (pun intended). Stay tuned.

All the patterns take their inspiration from decorative styles, particularly historical French, that are rich in colors gold and silver. The collections are comprised of a large number of serving pieces for the variety of uses associated with sumptuous dining in the grand French tradition.
Some of them can be realized with the incrustation process to emphasize the combination of decor and medium. The incrustation process is a traditional technique to engrave a motif into porcelain and then to incrust it into precious metal.

Keeper of the Seal
Counsel to the President: A Memoir
When not arranging the fate of nations, Clark Clifford took on humbler tasks, he informs us with a knowing grimace. One such assignment, offered almost as comic relief in this book of grand designs, came from Jacqueline Kennedy when she moved to the White House. Mrs. Kennedy, casting about for a weekend place to stay in "hunt country," had fixed her eye on Glen Ora, a four-hundred-acre estate. But the owner, a Mrs. Tartiere, did not want to sell or rent her house. She had the effrontery to prefer keeping what Mrs. Kennedy was determined to have. When the normal realestate agents failed, Mrs. Kennedy turned to Clark Clifford, the man who had served the Kennedys in earlier emergencies (handling the charge that John Kennedy was not the real author of his Pulitzer Prize–winning book, coping with Edward Kennedy's cheating record at Harvard).
Clifford said that, in his emollient terminology, he would "establish a relationship" with Mrs. Tartiere. But the determined widow, who had lived in her house since her husband's death, resisted even Clifford's fabled blandishments. He deployed all his resources, using charm, name-dropping, flattery, cajolery, and dough. Still no sale. Then he played his trump card:
I appealed to Mrs. Tartiere on what amounted to national security grounds, saying that one should not refuse a President such a reasonable request, especially if it would help ease the great burdens of his office. This time, Mrs. Tartiere very reluctantly agreed….
Mrs. Kennedy drew Clifford a special valentine, which he reproduces in his book, with the caption "Jacqueline Kennedy's charming thank-you note…." She pictures a jaunty Mr. Clifford striding briskly toward a house with his briefcase full of tools. Those sticking out of the case are labeled Tortures, Places of Exile, List of Jails. It has become another Kennedy family joke, and an addition to the Clifford legend for performing impossible tasks, that a woman was bullied out of her home for the First Lady's convenience. But what should be most interesting to us is the resort Clifford fell back on when all else failed. This little story is a parable, in ways Clifford himself does not recognize. There are three serious lessons here.When someone in authority wants something, and the matter cannot be decided on its merits, invoke national security. When appropriations are asked for and Congress stalls, say that national security demands this weapon, or that education grant. Dwight Eisenhower said it was a matter of national security to build interstate highways for wartime troop movements and evacuation of cities. National security measures, invoked against foreign enemies, are really more useful as weapons to be used on American citizens. Premier Khrushchev was not inconvenienced by Mrs. Kennedy's weekends at Glen Ora, but Mrs. Tartiere was. The "secret bombings of Cambodia" were no secret to those being bombed. They were only a secret to the United States Congress,…

Get it Now: 2013 Scion FR-S Officially On Sale Nationwide
Scion announced this week that the long-anticipated 2013 Scion FR-S rear-drive sports coupe is now available nationwide. Last month, Scion sold exactly 86 FR-S coupes as part of the "First 86" pre-sale program. The BRZ went on sale in mid-May, with 271 units sold.
The 2013 Scion FR-S is the U.S.-spec version of the Toyota GT-86 that was first shown as the Toyota FT-86 concept, which paid homage to the 1980s rear-drive Corolla AE86. Powered by a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter boxer-four cylinder, the lightweight FR-S features a low center of gravity -- rivaling some exotic sports cars -- and near perfect front-to-rear weight distribution.
While Subaru helped develop the car and is selling its own version as the Subaru BRZ, each automaker tuned the suspension separately. Interior trim and equipment are also unique to each brand. The manual transmission FR-S starts at $24,930 while automatic transmission cars add on an additional $1100. The price undercuts the base BRZ by $1315, but the Scion lacks some equipment such as the Subaru's standard navigation system.
Both cars come with a 3-year/36,000 mile bumper-to bumper warranty and a 5-year/60,000 mile powertrain warranty. Scion also includes Scion Service Boost in the price, which covers factory-scheduled maintenance for two years or 25,000 miles as well as 24-hour roadside assistance for two years. The automaker hopes to sell between 10,000 and 20,000 FR-S coupes a year while Subaru plans to import 6000 BRZs a year.
The Toyobaru twins, which take premium fuel, earned and EPA rating of 22/30 mpg city/highway for manual transmission cars and 25/34 mpg for automatic-equipped cars.

cry (oneself) to sleep(redirected from cry herself to sleep)
cry (oneself) to sleep
1. Literally, to cry until one falls asleep. I was so upset after the funeral that I cried myself to sleep.
2. When used figuratively, this phrase indicates that one is very upset about something. It is often said sarcastically to mean the opposite. I'm not thrilled with that grade, but it's not like I'm crying myself to sleep over it. Yeah, I'm sure that actor is really crying himself to sleep over a bad review!
cry oneself to sleep
to weep until sleep overtakes one. The baby finally cried herself to sleep.

text: Joseph Dao, SJ, 38, was born and raised in Vietnam. Even as a young child, Dao was drawn to the priesthood, pretending to celebrate Mass for his parents when he was only three years old. Before coming to the U.S. as an international student, Dao studied law, embarked on a journalism career and worked in private business. When he began to discern his vocation to the priesthood, Dao's pastor helped inspire an early interest in the Jesuits. At the age of 22, he moved to Long Beach, California, to begin a new journey in the United States. At Santa Ana College, Dao studied English while working in the school's cafeteria and actively discerning his call to the Jesuits. In 2000, he entered the Society of Jesus at the Jesuit novitiate in Culver City, California. At Loyola University Chicago, Dao earned a bachelor's degree in philosophy before being missioned back to Vietnam for a three-year project on behalf of Loyola. In 2010, Dao served at Loyola High School of Los Angeles, where he worked for the school's community service program and helped support campus ministry. Missioned next to the Jesuit School of Theology of Santa Clara University in Berkeley, California, Dao earned a Master of Divinity degree while serving as a deacon at Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church in San Jose and Christ the Light Cathedral in Oakland. For nearly two years, his work at Most Holy Trinity has been devoted to teaching a catechism program for autistic students, a life-affirming assignment that has helped him grow in his relationship with God. Following ordination, Dao will return to Vietnam for pastoral work. (California Province)

Last week, the first season of The T.O. Show ended, and now comes news that the second season is already on the way. The show has definately made Terrell Owens a more likeable person.
Check the press release below:
Hot on the heels of wrapping up his first season of The T.O. Show, VH1 has picked up Terrell Owens' option for a second go-around of his hit series. It seems Terrell will have a successful career off the football field too as the The T.O. Show has been a ratings hit for VH1 with an average of over 1.5 million viewers per episode.
As this is a show about Terrell's off-season life, the series will resume production shortly after his 2009 football season ends with the Buffalo Bills. Season Two will begin as his one-year contract with the Buffalo Bills expires and he will once again be faced with the question of – will he back with the Bills or will he be looking for a new team in the off-season? He will also be exploring business opportunities for life after football and dealing with the women in his life.
Kita Williams and Monique Jackson, Terrell's two best friends as well as his marketing and publicity team, are also returning to the series. In addition to molding Terrell's image off the field they are also a formidable duo in his personal life that do their best to guide him in his personal life with sound sisterly advice.
"Terrell has been a great asset to the VH1 team and we're thrilled to have him back for another season," stated Jeff Olde, EVP Original Programming and Production, VH1. "He is a compelling figure to watch both on and off the field and we hope to continue to watch his life evolve beyond football for many seasons to come."

|Simon Price
When he was young, Simon was apprenticed to a tailor. Upon completion of the apprenticeship he set up his own business in his hometown, Great Missenden.
In the 1841 and 1851 census of Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire, England his occupation was listed as tailor &c. I am assuming the "c" means clothier.
The 1861 Boston, Lincolnshire, England census lists him as a clothier, while the 1871 and 1881 census list him as a retired clothier.
While I was scouring old newspaper archives I was lucky enough to find a couple of ads.
|Lincolnshire Chronicle, Dec 18, 1863, page 2
|Lincolnshire Chronicle, Dec 25, 1863, page 2
Not only was I able to find these ads, but I found others that indicated he sold other things besides clothing. It turns out that Simon was also a tea agent, and according to the 1844 Pigot & Co directory, he was also a fire insurance agent as well as a tailor.
|Bucks Herald, Oct 17, 1846, page 2
I guess when you have a shop, you're going to sell what you can, right.

Denver, CO – Former National Lacrosse League coach of the year Bob McMahon was named head coach of the Colorado Mammoth on Wednesday. McMahon, who spent the last four seasons as an assistant coach with the Arizona Sting, becomes the fourth coach in Mammoth history.
The Sting represented the West Division in the NLL championship game twice in McMahon's four years and lost to the Mammoth in the division final in 2006. McMahon was head coach of the Albany Attack in 2002 and 2003, compiling a 22-10 record. He was named coach of the year in 2002 after leading the Attack to a division title and appearance in the league championship game.
"Bob has enjoyed tremendous success in the NLL," Mammoth general manager Steve Govett said. "I believe he is the right man to coach this team and he has my unwavering trust and support."
The Mammoth also announced that assistant coaches Russ Heard, Dan Pratt and Ward Sanderson will retain their roles with the team.
McMahon's first professional coaching experience came with the Detroit Turbos, with whom he was an assistant for the 1993 and 1994 seasons. He was then head coach of the Brampton Excelsiors of the Ontario Lacrosse Association from 1997-2000, winning the Mann Cup in 1998 and being named the Major Series coach of the year in 2000. He was also an assistant coach for Team Canada's gold medal-winning team at the 2003 World Indoor Lacrosse Championships.
McMahon is a graduate of the University of Guelph in Ontario, and he lives in Orangeville, Ontario, with his wife Janet, and sons Cody (15) and Jamie (11).

Theater fans can buy hard to find Jersey Boys tickets for the Hard Rock Hotel Casino Atlantic City without any hidden service fees online or call and charge by phone right here. You can choose from orchestra, mezzanine or balcony seats and find good seats with a clear view of the stage. You do not have to buy theater season tickets or miss out when the theater box office is sold out.
Jersey Boys Ticket Prices for the Hard Rock Hotel Casino Atlantic City
You will almost always find the cheapest Jersey Boys ticket prices directly from the Hard Rock Hotel Casino Atlantic City box office but that is not always possible for popular theater shows that are often sold out of the best seats. Preferred Seating buys and sells tickets for Jersey Boys in Atlantic City and the ticket price can often exceed the face value of the tickets. There are a number of factors that can determine the theater ticket prices including the quality of the seats, availability and the price to acquire good seats.
Jersey Boys Schedule at the Hard Rock Hotel Casino Atlantic City
The theater schedule is updated when and if new performances are added we will post them right away. At Preferred Seating we strive to provide tickets for all of the show times but occasionally we are sold out of certain time slots. You can bookmark the page and return to see if additional tickets are added to our inventory or if you do not see tickets in the price range you are looking for.
The best seats for Jersey Boys at the Hard Rock Hotel Casino Atlantic City
For many theater fans the preferred seats are usually in the first ten rows of the orchestra near the center, or in the first few rows of the mezzanine, loge or balcony sections. The front row can be too close for some fans especially for big theater productions such as Wicked and Phantom of the Opera. If there are any obstructions or problems with sight lines you will find that information in the notes.
Discount Jersey Boys Tickets
There are times you can find discounted tickets on sale here and that is often close to the day of the event and sometimes up to several weeks in advance. The more popular the performance the less likely discount tickets will be available.

Vietnam Cave
Conquering an Infinite Cave
There's a jungle inside Vietnam's mammoth cavern. A skyscraper could fit too. And the end is out of sight.
I recognize Jonathan Sims's clipped, British military accent but have no idea what he's talking about. My headlamp finds him, gray muttonchops curling out from beneath his battered helmet, sitting alone in the blackness along the wall of the cave.
"Carry on mate," growls Sims. "Just resting a buggered ankle."
The two of us have roped across the thundering, subterranean Rao Thuong River and climbed up through 20-foot blades of limestone to a bank of sand. I continue alone, following the beam of my headlamp along year-old footprints.
In the spring of 2009, Sims was a member of the first expedition to enter Hang Son Doong, or "mountain river cave," in a remote part of central Vietnam. Hidden in rugged Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park near the border with Laos, the cave is part of a network of 150 or so caves, many still not surveyed, in the Annamite Mountains. During the first expedition, the team explored two and a half miles of Hang Son Doong before a 200-foot wall of muddy calcite stopped them. They named it the Great Wall of Vietnam. Above it they could make out an open space and traces of light, but they had no idea what lay on the other side. A year later, they have returned—seven hard-core British cavers, a few scientists, and a crew of porters—to climb the wall, if they can, measure the passage, and push on, if possible, all the way to the end of the cave.
The trail disappears before me into a difficult pile of breakdown—building-size blocks of stone that have fallen from the ceiling and crashed onto the cave floor. I crane my head back, but the immensity of the cave douses my headlamp's tiny light, as if I were staring up into a starless night sky. I've been told I'm inside a space large enough to park a 747, but I have no way to know, the darkness is like a sleeping bag pulled over my head.

Shelling of civilian areas in Syria unconscionable says UOSSM
GENEVA, Switzerland - An international humanitarian and medical aid organisation operating in Syria has denounced the shelling of civilian areas in Khan Sheikhun and Ma'arat al-Nu'man in Idlib province, which has killed 18 civilians in the past 48 hours.
Among the dead were eight children and 7 women.
In addition, on Saturday, shelling in Hama struck the residence of Dr. Ahmad Hamwiya, pharmacist, in Al Madiq castle, killing him.
In the strongest terms, UOSSM said Monday it calls on all military actors to respect international law and immediately stop targeting civilian areas and medical staff.
The areas which are currently under attack are heavily populated with civilians and fall within the demilitarized zone.
Shortages of medical supplies, equipment and staff are already beginning to take their toll, the group says, on service capacity.
"We ask the international community to release emergency funding and resources to support the civilians of these regions and continue to strengthen the impartial delivery of aid. The death of 8 children this weekend and Dr. Ahmad Hamwiya is unconscionable and entirely preventable," USSSM said in a statement Monday.
"Week after week we continue to see children paying the heaviest toll in this war and we cannot become apathetic to this. Civilians and medical staff are protected under international humanitarian law and these laws must be enforced and respected," Dr. Hussam Al Fakir, Chairman of UOSSM International, said Monday.
Founded in January 2012 in France, the Union of Medical Care and Relief Organizations (UOSSM) is a coalition of humanitarian, non-governmental, and medical organizations from the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, and Turkey.

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 19 (UPI) -- U.S. singer Katy Perry and singer-songwriter John Mayer could be looking to settle down and have children, a source told More magazine.
The source, whose name was not reported, said the couple are getting more serious about their relationship.
"John has given her the confidence to jump out of the rat race. With John, she feels like herself. She wants to nest. She's gained a few pounds, is taking a much-needed break from work and perhaps is even getting her mind and body ready for pregnancy," the source said.
Actor Russell Brand, Perry's ex-husband, had previously hinted that the reason the two divorced is because she was too career-oriented and didn't want children, Entertainmentwise reported Friday.
"She's young, successful and dedicated," Brand said in an interview with Howard Stern. "[The reality is] you can't fully understand it until you do it. I was really into the idea of marriage and having children."
Mayer has a reputation for dating and dumping some of Hollywood's hottest stars, Entertainmentwise said.
"John really likes the fact that Katy is so independent and not needy and clingy like the other girls he's dated.
This is the first time John's felt so strongly about a girl. She's played her cards perfectly," the source told More magazine. ''They really do bring out the best in each other. It wouldn't surprise me at all if he proposed.''

My whole trip down memory lane had me clicking around my old blog, reading random entries. And I found one where my pal David asked me ten questions. One blew me away. Look:
6) If you had to choose between a life without legs and a life without children, which would it be?
I'm answering these out of order, and this one keeps catching my eye. It seems an impossible choice, and I can't believe that I find myself leaning towards having legs.
In truth, I can't imagine myself without legs OR without children. Except that I do know what it's like to not have children, and I don't know what it's like to not have legs. I really believe disability isn't a huge problem; this is primarily because of my first degree.
I'm not saying it isn't limiting in some way, if you choose to see it as that, but in other ways it allows people to experience similar things in different ways.
I wonder what the limitations of this question are. For instance, can I foster children or teenagers? Or is that merely getting out on a technicality?
Essentially, I believe it's possible to have a fulfilling life either way.
But…I guess I would choose having children over having legs. Except I WOULD totally get some bionic ones.
Children offer family, continuity, laughter, love. Legs offer a lot, but I would hope I would be adaptable and resilient enough to face life without them.
I hope, though, I will have both.
Shit. 'Children offer family, continuity, laughter, love. Legs offer a lot, but I would hope I would be adaptable and resilient enough to face life without them.' Have I? Have I exibited the grace and hope these words imply?
After all, while it sometimes feels I actually made the choice of having children over being able to walk normally, it wasn't really a choice. I didn't know it was a choice I was making before it happened. Who thinks they are going to end up with a permanent disability because they chose to get pregnant? It never entered my mind, which is why this past entry seems spooky and prophetic and….well, hopeful.
It reminds me that even if I HAD had the choice – mobility or my children – I'd choose my children. Every time.
Thank you for that, David from 2004. One again you have brightened my life. I love you.

PHOENIX — The Arizona Diamondbacks (@dbacks) have acquired shortstop Didi Gregorius (@DidiG18), left-handed pitcher Tony Sipp (@SippTony) and first baseman Lars Anderson from the Cleveland Indians in exchange for right-handed pitchers Trevor Bauer, Matt Albers and Bryan Shaw, according to D-backs Executive Vice President & General Manager Kevin Towers.

Why are my tax dollars paying for these union card check adds???!!
I am not taking the second job, I don't want to support this succubus package any more than I have to!!!
( Obama talks about taking from those who are productive and redistributing to those who are not -- or who are not as successful. If success and productivity is to be punished, why bother? Perhaps it is time for those of us who make the money and pay the taxes to take it easy, live on less and let the looters of the world find their own way.)
Have a good weekend everyone!!!

How are chief executive officers like everyone else? CEOs—often the company's founder—can unexpectedly find themselves without a job.
Ousting a founding CEO can be about business or about sending a signal. It can involve scandal and skullduggery, and it can have disastrous results or be the best thing that ever happened. Sometimes, fired leaders make triumphant returns.
Here are some notable cases in which CEOs were shown the door.

First up we made this stew - Shorbat Rumman, or Pomegranate Soup. In fact, there are only 2 tablespoons of pomegranate molasses in the whole thing, so it's a bit of a misnomer. This soup was really good - chock full of flavors and textures and nutrients: beets, been greens, spinach (we subbed collard greens), split peas, lime juice, fresh herbs... It had a little touch of sugar, and along with the naturally sweet beets and the pomegranate molasses, it had a definite sweetness about it... but not in an overpowering or unpleasant way. This recipe made a lot, so I have been enjoying it as left overs. Lucky me!
Gabrielle also threw together this simple and yummy Sumac Salad. It's just cucumbers, tomatoes, onion, a little olive oil, and a bunch of sumac. We cut the sumac in half and felt like it was just right that way... It's always nice to have a little fresh salad with your soupy entree!
And of course we made some bread to go with our soup and salad! It's so fun to make bread from different countries, because it seems like every country has their own rich tradition of bread making and bread varieties. I found this recipe online for Iraqi Samoon bread. We halved the recipe and still ended up with a LOT of bread: 5 loaves, and they were at least 2 servings per loaf. It's a moist dough, which results in a light, fluffy bread. There are little specks of wheat bran in there, which give the bread a little more substance and character.
We made two nice desserts. First up, we just had to make Kleicha cookies, which evidently are the national cookie of Iraq. (*recipe at end of post*) It seems like it would be wrong not to make them! The dough is very faintly sweet and has a generous dose of cardamom in it... which results in a very delicate flavor. And we made 2 different fillings: half were made with a sweetened walnuts & rosewater filling and the others with dates, earth balance and rose water. Both very good, and worth making again! The walnut filling was surprisingly scrumptious!
Our second dessert item was Date Truffles, aka Madgooga. Hello, friend. These are so super simple, so super quick, and so super yums. The truffles are made with just dates, tahini and a little cardamom. The recipe offers ideas for all different things to roll them in, and we decided to pick 4 toppings and make a few truffles with each. We made a half batch and ended up with about 18-20 little truffles.
Here is our date-truffle-assembly station. Small bowls with each of the 4 toppings, and another small bowl with the date-tahini paste. Ready to go! Sticky fingers! The toppings we picked were: cocoa powder, shredded coconut, chopped hazelnuts, and toasted sesame seeds.
Naturally, they were all delicious. But - to my surprise - the toasted sesame seeds were my favorite topping. In fact, I think all three of us liked these ones the best. Somehow, it was a perfect harmony of flavors and textures. Those crunchy little seeds were great with the mooshy truffle interior. Mmmmm!

It's time to shed a little light on "Dark Shadows": Why, exactly, was a barely remembered daytime drama that ran from 1966 to 1971, a property that Johnny Depp wanted to revive as a feature film so fervently that he produced the film himself and recruited his frequent collaborator Tim Burton to direct?
Did we neglect to mention that about six months into its run "Dark Shadows" went Gothic, introducing all sorts of supernatural elements, not the least of which was the vampire Barnabas Collins, played by Jonathan Frid, and an offbeat sensibility that veered somewhere between melodrama and straight-up camp? Yeah, that's why. Burton and Depp explain the roots of their obsession, aided and abetted by co-stars Michelle Pfeiffer, Jackie Earle Haley, Eva Green, Bella Heathcote, screenwriter Seth Grahame-Smith and…Alice Cooper?
Tim Burton: We talked about it for many years, but I think this is the first project that I ever remember for Johnny where he said that he wanted to play this ever since he was a little boy…It's one of those kind of things where the show had a lot of impact for some of us: Johnny, Michelle and I were there at the time when it came out, so we just recall it being a very strong, interesting property.
Johnny Depp: It was during 'Sweeney Todd' where I think I just blurted out in mid-conversation 'God, Maybe we should do a vampire movie together where you actually have a vampire that looks like a vampire!' 'Dark Shadows' was kind of looming on the periphery, and then Tim and I started talking about it, and then when Tim and I got together and started figuring out how it should be shaped, and then Seth came on board and the three of us just riffed, really. One thing led to another and it basically dictated to us what it wanted to be, in a sense – certainly with Tim at the forefront of leading the troops.
Seth Grahame-Smith: We had our first meeting and Tim and Johnny and I just sat around a table and just started talking about things that they loved about the show and talking about moments that would be fun to explore, and characters. Johnny was already getting up from the table and sort of pantomiming the rigidity of Barnabas, and Tim was already talking about, 'Oh, what if your fingers were a joint longer?' And then Johnny started to then mime touching things. So a lot actually was born in those early meetings early on, and when I needed to know about the tone I relied on them because they were there, watching the show as kids and loving the show.
Depp: Even in the early days of trying to explore the possibilities of the character, no matter where you went in your head, if you tried to veer away from the original Jonathan Frid character, it was apparent to both Tim and myself that it had to be rooted in Jonathan Frid's character of Barnabas – It just HAD to be. It was so classic, this sort of classic monster – like Fangoria magazine or that kind of thing. So in terms of that, when Jonathan was playing Barnabas, there was a kind of rigidity to him, that pole up the back, this elegance that was always there. And yeah, I did believe, as Tim and I talked early on, a vampire should look like a vampire, and it was a kind of rebellion against vampires that look like underwear models, [so] there was a bit of 'Nosferatu' in there.
Michelle Pfeiffer: I shamelessly called Tim…I didn't even know if there was a part for me. And it had been so long since I had seen the series. I just said, 'If there's anything for me, I want to throw my hat in the ring.' And the I hung up and I thought, 'I'll never hear from him again.' And I did.
Burton: It was a real joy to get a call from Michelle and find out she was a closet 'Dark Shadows' fan. I knew that she was weird, but now that's a whole new situation, which was great, because between Michelle and Johnny, we were the only ones, I think, of the cast that knew 'Dark Shadows.' I don't know if I showed it to anybody else, because you can't really show 'Dark Shadows' to anybody else who doesn't know it, because they'd probably run screaming out of the room.
Depp: Our way of saluting Jonathan Frid was terrific. He had already written me a letter a couple years before and signed a photograph to me sort of passing the baton to Barnabas, which I thought was very sweet. He had his cane with him – his original Barnabas cane – and I wasn't sure when he actually saw me if he was going to attack me with it, but he didn't so.
Burton: For us, that's part of the reason we were there: because those people inspired us. So it was nice to see them back in their early '70s clothing.
Depp: [I liked] the idea of this very elegant, upper echelon, well-schooled gentleman who's cursed in the 18th century and is brought back to probably the most surreal era of our time, the 1970s – how he'd react to things, how radically different things were, not just through the technology and automobiles and such, but actual items of enjoyment for people, like pet rocks and fake flowers and plastic fruit and troll dolls and lava lamps.
Burton: Setting it in 1972 was important, and we just went through all the music of that year…It was strange. It felt strange at the time and it still feels strange. The quality of music, going from everything from really kind of cheesy pop to cool, hardcore stuff – it was a weird year for music. I remember Alice Cooper being quite a strong influence to me at that time. And he looks exactly the same now, which is really scary.
Alice Cooper: I had met Tim before and I always said, 'If you ever come up with a period of time when you need me in something, I'm available.' I've always wanted to be in a Tim Burton film, because I feel like I belong in that. We're kind of kindred spirits, you know…The funniest thing was when they said, 'We have to make you look like 1972'. And I went, ''72? I was a wreck. I don't know if you really want me to look like '72. I look older then than I do now.' I'm 30 years sober, so back then I was partying all the time. I said, 'Why don't we go '72 but let's pretend like I'm 28 years old or 22 or 23 years old,' so they did some kind of computerization thing that took two days to shoot.
Depp: As a child, you have this fascination. I certainly had this fascination with monsters and vampires as did Tim and whatever this darkness, this mystery, this intrigue. And then, as you get older, you recognize the erotic nature of the vampire and the idea of the undead. What was most interesting in terms of Barnabas was the idea of the combination. It was a real challenge, probably more for Tim than me, to make that guy, clearly a vampire, fit back into this odd society and this dysfunctional family. I think he did it rather seamlessly.
Jackie Earle Haley: Just getting to work on a Tim Burton, any of them, would have been phenomenal, but to get to do one that they're working together was just a double whammy. And, yeah, it was just a crazy, unique experience…Because Tim is such a unique filmmaker, I always say that he's one of the few filmmakers that is his own genre. While there's a great diversity in his films, there is something that links it to his vision and his uniqueness, and so what a great experience to get to go and see how they did that.
Bella Heathcote: I've never witnessed anything like that. They've worked together for so long on so many different projects. It's almost as if they have their own language. And I felt really privileged to bear witness to that.
Eva Green: There's absolutely no pressure on set, and they really love what they're doing. They're like children. And it's fun to play.

The man charged with telling a story no one really knew pulled it off with a bang and made Guardians of the Galaxy a household name. Sitting down and listening to James Gunn, Director of Guardians of the Galaxy, talk to us about his inspiration for his characters and worlds gave me a deeper understanding of what he was trying to do and made me love the film even more.
James Gunn: Director of Guardians of the Galaxy
Do you have a love for dance?
Yeah, I do. When I say, Kevin Bacon is a great national hero, I mean it. I love dancing, and, I love pop music. I love super heroes and I love space adventures. And I love raccoons. So I have all the things I love in one movie.
Does Kevin Bacon know about this?
Does Kevin know that I love him? You know, Kevin was in my last movie. And he doesn't know it, so we've got to keep it quiet. I don't think he knows yet. I was supposed to invited him to the New York premiere. Maybe I'll text him after I get out of here. But I'm excited, for him to see it.
You're a director, producer, and you're an actor. Is there anything that you don't do?
Yeah, there's a lot of things I could never do. You know. I think really what I do best is picking other people. And finding what other people are good at, and sort of arranging those in a way that makes a good movie. And I think that's really what a good director is able to do.
What drew you to Guardians of the Galaxy?
I think the main thing that drew me to Guardians of the Galaxy was the ability to create a whole new wing of the Marvel universe. I would find it very difficult to make a sequel to another Marvel movie or even making another earthbound Marvel movie that's leading directly into The Avengers because you're working so much within the world that's already been created. With Guardians, I was able to create, not just a new world, but new worlds and new characters, new species. I found that to be just the most freeing thing ever.
When I was a little boy, I had a box that I would put drawings in. And this box, I was sort of obsessed with. I was obsessed with the solar system and all the different planets. I would make, drawings for each one of the different planets and of the species that lived on that planet including their pets were, what their houses looked like, and what their water systems were like. This box became filled over time with this sort of universe inside of it, that I created. And that is, that's where my heart was. And that's still where my heart is because that's what this movie is.
Who is your favorite Guardian and Why?
The one I feel the most connected to is Rocket. I feel the outcast in Rocket. And although I think that Rocket is the meanest Guardian and I think he's the most selfish Guardian, I think he's probably the Guardian that learns the least at the end of the movie. He is the saddest. It's very strange but I feel like he's just this little mangled guy that is completely alone in this world. There's nothing else like him, he's been torn apart and put back together again. He was originally an innocent little animal, I love animals to begin with. I've come to love him. I probably had the greatest time creating Rocket over any of the other Guardians. Rocket and Groot both. Because that really, unlike Star-Lord, Chris and I have to be on the same level. I write his dialogue, he says it. I pull this stuff out of him, he adds stuff. We're creating a character together, with Rocket, and there's a lot more people involved. It's much more like conducting a symphony, within one character. To make somebody alive you know? It tends to become more of a real character to me.
How does it feel to do a PG-13 movie that is geared more towards a younger audience, versus your R rated movie?
I loved it! When I set out to make this movie I didn't set out to make a movie that was like the movies I loved as a kid. RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, and STAR WARS, and these films. I wanted to make a movie that would make kids and adults feel like I felt when I saw those movies. Something that would actively inspire imagination. I found it in the great opportunity to make a movie that was about family, about friendship. I think in the world, everybody thinks it's so important to be cool and important to be hip and show how you don't care. This movie is the exact opposite. It's a movie about caring. It's a movie that allows emotions into a spectacle film, which is extremely rare. Real characters and real people with flaws. Not exactly real people, real aliens, monsters and that stuff.
With the Marvel cinematic universe expanding exponentially, are there any characters you'd like to see together in a story? Or in a movie?
I would love to tell the Rocket and Groot story for sure. I love them, but you know, at the same time I'd love to tell the Drax story as well, or the Gamora story. I think they're all interesting enough to me. I also would love to do a Nebula film. It's something I actually think about a lot. I think that all those characters could go off on their own direction.
In the Guardians comics there is a lot of interplay with the Avengers. Was there any interconnection or conversations that you had with Joss Wheedon, on what he has done or is doing, with the Avengers?
Yes, for sure. I would talk to Joss because I didn't want to contradict future plans. And really the one piece of connective tissue is Thanos, he's the guy who's at the end of The Avengers. He's the guy who's the character in our movie, and he will likely show up in future Marvel movies. That was something that I had conversations with Joss about all the, the Thanos aspects of things.
What was the most difficult thing to bring to the big screen?
Definitely the most difficult thing was the CGI characters because we had to make them as real and believable and as loveable as the rest of the characters in the movie. I am beyond a perfectionist when it comes to visual effects. I'm very very hard on visual effects people. I try to get the most out of them. My eyes are really difficult and harsh on that stuff. So that was the long road.
Were there hilarious antics that took place while filming?
One of our great moments was in the dance off. We didn't tell Dave Bautista. I went up to Chris and Zoe and Lee Pace and said, "When Chris challenges you to a dance-off, take him up on it." So Chris started dancing. And then Ronan goes, "You got it, pal, you're on!" He throws down his hammer and he's doing this ridiculous dance that his six foot five frame in this gigantic metal object could do. He's dancing, and then Gamora starts dancing. And then they turn it over to Dave and Dave is like, "Oh, no." And he did it, he just started dancing. Then about 200 extras that we had on set started dancing. My brother who plays Rocket on set, started dancing. I have it all on film! It will be on the DVD for sure.

Having the opportunity to do a presentation in front of an audience of just about any size is an absolute privilege.
What a wonderful thing it is. You have a captive audience and it's up to you … the presenter….to engage, energize and enthrall. (Okay, enthrall might be reaching a bit but you get my point.)
Whether your presentation is short or long, the situation provides you with the chance to present yourself as a thought leader and as someone with information and wisdom about a specific topic. It is, quite frankly, your opportunity to shine.
What a shame it is when a presenter uses this time to talk about their products or services in such a manner that attendees feel as if they are being given a sales pitch. What a waste of an opportunity.
If you are persuasive about your product or service and explain it in such a way that the benefits and advantages come through well then, you simply don't have to "sell". Participants will be drawn in by the value of your information and begin to understand the appeal. At the same time they won't be resentful and feel as if they have been duped.
It's easy:
- Prepare a presentation that is chocked full of information and benefits and present them in a factual manner.
- Unless specifically asked, don't provide prices, terms, etc.
- Have a few well crafted questions and use them to engage the audience.
- Have well developed hand-outs to validate your presentation.
- Gather names and contact information so that you can follow up with the attendees.
Be attentive to how you "come across" and if you are wondering if your presentation is too "salesy" practice it with a friend or colleague and get their honest opinion.
A little preparation can go a long way in making certain that you leave the attendees with the very best and most positive impression. Any questions? As a sales consultant I regularly review presentations and I'm happy to help you with yours.

Ten years after fans said goodbye to "The West Wing," the cast and creator of the political drama are reflecting on its lasting legacy and weighed in on the 2016 election.
The show's stars — Bradley Whitford ("Josh Lyman"), Richard Schiff ("Toby Ziegler"), Dulé Hill ("Charlie Young"), Joshua Malina ("Will Bailey"), Janel Maloney ("Donna Moss"), Melissa Fitzgerald ("Carol Fitzpatrick"), along with creator and executive producer Aaron Sorkin — who reunited on June 12 at the ATX Television Festival in Austin, Texas, sat down with NBC News' Hallie Jackson for an exclusive interview on "Today."
Sorkin, assessing the match-up between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, said if President Josiah "Jed" Bartlet (Martin Sheen) was a real person he "would endorse Clinton."
U.S. & World
Whitford added that Trump is "fantastic television," as so many horrible things are.
Asked whether fans could expect a "West Wing" reboot, Sorkin said that if there was a way to bring back the series without harming its legacy, he would do it.
"The West Wing" aired on NBC from 1999 to 2006, and took audiences into the offices of White House staffers working for the fictitious Bartlet administration. The show won throngs of die-hard fans, not to mention four consecutive Emmy awards for outstanding drama series, during its seven-year run.

The last time I backed up my files to a new hard drive, it took over eight hours to move the information using USB 2 from device to device. OK, I know there are faster ways to move information, such as Firewire or Thunderbolt, or even faster versions of USB, but you are, in a sense, stuck with whatever is the slowest link. This is especially true if you are trying to use WiFi or some other type of connecter. You can download or move files no faster than the slowest connection.
This basic fact of life, the limit of the slowest connection or device, is a physical limitation of the system. One problem with this limitation is that you can spend a lot more money and time and still not experience faster connections. It turns out that even the quality of the connecting wires can affect the speed of transmission. This problem has a name. It is called Amdahl's Law which states that the speed-up that can be achieved by distributing a computer program over p processors cannot exceed 1/{f + [1 - f)/p]}, where f is the fraction of the work of the program that must be done in serial mode.

Endroit exceptionnel. Un choix considerable et une equipe irreprochable. Des produits raffines qui...
I have seen a review today that describes our villa as "immaculate", so thank you very much indeed and well done!! The curtains look really lovely, I'm so pleased with how everything has come together.
Thank you for sending the wonderful pictures! We are very satisfied about the works you did. It is really amazing and we and our sons are very happy with the result! Now we are ambassador of Quinta Style!
I am just writing to say a big thank you for the work you have done for us. Terry Ann and I are absolutely delighted with it all. You have captured the feel that we wanted and the styling of each room totally suits our tastes. We are also very happy with
I had my house-warming party last week and everyone, without exception, was amazed with the house. They all thought it was sophisticated, stylish but still cozy... quite an accomplishment. I am very happy with it.
Thank you for your patience and your beautiful proposals for the furniture and the designs of the living room.
Agradeco desde ja todo o vosso profissionalismo e atencao dispensada.
Working with Astrid, Marcia and all the Quinta Style team was a pleasure from start to finish. They have excellent ideas and they worked within our budget to produce a wonderful end result, with which we are simply delighted.
Quinta Style helped so much... They dealt with the authorities, the architect, builders and suppliers, keeping us informed of every development from start to finish.
The members love the soft colour scheme of the dove grey sofas with the blue and white touches, such as the cushions, in the sitting rooms. The fresh green, yellow and blue furnishings for the bedrooms give a classy feel.
We wouldn't have known how to organise all the furniture and curtains without your help! The apartment looks warm and welcoming, thanks.
We could trust Quinta Style at every stage, they planned everything properly and managed it during the actual building and decoration period. Their input was invaluable. We couldn't have been in better hands.
Quinta Style delivered on time and on budget and every member of the team was professional and charming at all times. We would highly recommend Quinta Style.
"Quinta Style" in Almancil has designed the new look and the special furniture and furnishings all produced in Portugal. The villa refit has an overwhelmingly positive response.
We now have a Portuguese home that is stylish and comfortable and judging by the reaction of friends and family it also has the wow factor.
I never imagined that such a refurbishment was possible within my budget! Thank you.
Thanks for making the best house in the street! We are really proud of it.
Just want to thank you again for your wonderful support and assistance while we were in Portugal. You made the whole trip worthwhile.

White Sox bullying the NL
The Marlins were one of the teams that inquired on left-hander Matt Thornton during the brief period that the White Sox were in sell mode.
The White Sox said they would not even entertain trading Thornton, and they have now won 11 of their last 12 games, reaching .500 for the first time since April 7. Their run started against the Tigers and continued against feeble NL opponents — the Cubs, Pirates and Nationals.
White Sox starting pitchers are 9-1 with a 1.95 ERA in this stretch. Their ability to contend could be determined by how they fare in their six series leading to the All-Star break. They will be home against the Braves and Cubs, on the road against the Royals and Rangers, home against the Angels and Royals.
If the White Sox end up buyers, their biggest need will be the same as it was in the off-season — a left-handed hitter for the middle of the order.
BTW, here's Fangraphs Sox trade advice.

Salmon farms kill wild salmon
Up to 95 percent of wild juvenile salmon killed by parasites from salmon farmsUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Neil Frazer, (808) 956-3724
School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology
HONOLULU - New research has confirmed that sea lice from salmon farms can have severe impacts on wild salmon. Sea lice are natural parasites of salmon, but sea lice transmission is altered by fish farms, which eliminate a disease refuge for juvenile fish.
"Fish farms raise sea lice infections from near zero to lethal levels in wild juvenile pink and chum salmon," said the study's lead author Martin Krkošek, of the University of Alberta. "Under natural conditions, adult salmon - the primary sea lice hosts - are far offshore while the juveniles are migrating out to sea. Fish farms eliminate this disease refuge by placing farm fish on wild fish migration routes."
Mortality from farm-origin lice can be high. "Everyone knows that only a small fraction of juvenile salmon survive to return as adults," said study co-author Dr. Mark Lewis of the University of Alberta. "Our work shows that of those that would otherwise survive, 9-95% will be killed by sea farms."
Juvenile pinks and chums are especially vulnerable to sea lice because they are small — only about one inch long. "It only takes one or two lice to kill a juvenile," said Krkošek.
The study combined field surveys, survival experiments, and cutting-edge mathematical modeling to reach its conclusions. "The work is of an impeccably high standard, and will be very difficult to refute," said Dr. Andy Dobson, an epidemiologist from Princeton University who specializes in infectious diseases of wildlife.
"The analysis in this paper almost certainly underestimates the total mortality of juvenile salmon," said co-author Dr. Neil Frazer of the University of Hawai'i. We considered only the direct effects of sea lice on fish survival. We did not include the secondary effects of increased predation on infected fish."
Fish farms may have severe implications for salmon stocks. "This sustained high mortality caused by farms, combined with the highly variable natural mortality of wild salmon, leads to a very precarious situation for wild salmon," said study co-author Dr. John Volpe of the University of Victoria. "Even the best case scenario of an additional 10% mortality could push a fish stock into the red zone."
The research results are a major contribution to the contentious question of fish farm impacts. "The debate is over," said study co-author Alexandra Morton of the Raincoast Research Society. "This paper brings our understanding of farm-origin sea lice and Pacific wild salmon to the point where there is a clear severe impact."
Although the study was conducted in British Columbia, the results apply globally. "We expect the same increase in mortality to occur in all areas around the world where there is large scale net-pen aquaculture," said Dr. Ransom Myers, a fisheries biologist at Dalhousie University. "And sea lice are a pathogen we can see, but what about all the other diseases?"
"This study really raises the question of whether we can have native salmon and large scale aquaculture — as it is currently practiced — in the same place," said Myers.
The study also sheds new light on how humans and wildlife interact to alter disease dynamics. "We often worry about wildlife making humans sick, but here is a case where humans make wildlife sick," said Lewis.
"This is the tip of the iceberg," said Dobson. "Aquaculture has created the potential to massively amplify diseases in wild fish. It also raises the more distant spectre of when are we going to see the first human disease caused by aquaculture?"
The study will be published during the week October 2-6 in the prestigious peer-reviewed scientific journal, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of The United States of America.
The study's conclusions are based on three components. The first estimated sea lice transmission using field surveys of over 14,000 wild juvenile pink and chum salmon migrating past salmon farms along more than 180 km of migration routes in the Broughton Archipelago, British Columbia. The second estimated the impact of sea lice from survival experiments of over 3,000 infected juvenile salmon. The third combined these two elements, using cutting-edge mathematical models of sea lice transmission and impacts, to estimate the total mortality of wild salmon caused by sea lice from fish farms.

text: Share: May 9, 2013 | by Antonia Shoumatoff Flooding The havoc wrought by hurricanes Sandy and Irene heightened awareness of the impacts of flooding. In a forum co-sponsored by the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Dutchess, Columbia, and Greene counties; the New York Water Resources Institute; the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Hudson River Estuary Program; and the Hudson Estuary Watershed Resiliency project, an impressive roster of experts came together at the Cary Institute to present an overview of major flooding events, which are expected to happen more frequently.New York has suffered eleven flooding events requiring FEMA assistance in the last 15 years, according to Wayne Reynolds, one of the presenters. In 2007, in Delaware County, four lives were lost, hundreds of homes destroyed, and 11 inches of rain came down in four hours. In 2011, again in Delaware County, $15 million of damage was sustained, with bridges and roads having to be replaced and repaired. According to the experts who presented at the forum, the answer is not in engineering.We have to work with nature, move away from old infrastructure and understand where we can and cannot develop. "We cannot design our way out of nature," said Reynolds, Commissioner of the Department of Public Works for Delaware County. "Sometimes we just need to get beyond what was there historically and move that road or that bridge to another place. What people don't understand is that the whole bandwidth of the flood plain is free rein for the rivers." Mr. Reynolds showed graphic pictures of county roads eaten away by rivers, bridge abutments scoured down, and water running into valleys and villages, even after his department spent millions of dollars in engineering. "Big abutments don't work. No longer will I leave any concrete in a bridge. And the more natural you can leave a stream, the better."Gregg Swanzey, the head of the office of Economic Development of the City of Kingston, described how Kingston became a Climate Smart Community and brought together the Kingston Flood Taskforce after the devastating effects of Hurricane Irene. They were, therefore, prepared for Hurricane Sandy. The approach that Mr. Swanzey decribed is called FAR, for "Fortify (like building levees), Accommodate (allow the water to flow through certain structures) and Relocate (meaning move away if there is repeated flooding)." The process calls for consensus-building in the community, participatory mapping showing flooding risks, and planning assessments.Scenic Hudson has done modeling of the whole area, predicting potential damage from so-called 100-year floods. Estimated future damage due to future sea-level rise: $126 million. By 2100, according to the projective flood mapping, the entire Rondout area could be inundated all the time. Mr. Swanzey said municipalites need to assess and plan to manage future stormwater surges: build awareness and consensus; evaluate zoning codes and work with developers and residents. "Are the pipes big enough to handle increased stormwater flow?"Don Bartles, planning board chair of Pine Plains, who worked in the Dutchess County Department of Public Works, said: "I was interested in the highway aspects of this forum. I will look to reviewing our planning and zoning laws within the flood plain and review and reinforce the protections factors within our zoning."Climatologist Jessica Rennells, from the Northeast Regional Climate Center, reinforced the data that Cary has been presenting over the past years demonstrating that sea levels are rising, snow melt is happening earlier and the Northeast is getting wetter. The Hudson Valley has gone from a 35- to a 60-inch increase of rain over the last 20 years. Heavy downpours are increasing and are projected to increase further, leaving flooding impacts on water quality, infrastructure and agriculture. "Due to humidity, it will feel like Virginia or Georgia, and summer droughts are projected to affect water supplies, agriculture, ecosystems and energy production," continued Ms. Rennells.Cary Institute scientist Stuart Findlay said: "In the future we will have adequate water supply in this area, but we will have water quality issues due to peak flooding and infiltration." He explained how land use affects flow, with urban and suburban growth and increased impervious surfaces delivering water faster to the channels, which thus peak faster. Findlay explained that flooding is an event that stream ecosystems can cope with and recover from.
