Salt Marshes May Slow Climate Warming . . . For a While
Salt marshes may help slow the rate of climate change in the future, as rising and warmer oceans will enable them to more quickly capture and remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, according to a study published in the journal Nature this week.
Carbon dioxide is the predominant "greenhouse gas" that traps heat and warms the atmosphere.
Marshes and Carbon
"Our research suggests that the value of these ecosystems in capturing atmospheric carbon might become much more important in the future, as the climate warms," said Matthew Kirwan, a University of Virginia environmental scientist, and the lead author of this USGS-funded and supported research.
In fact, said Kirwan, the research forecasts that under faster sea-level rise rates, salt marshes could bury up to four times as much carbon as they do now. "The study forecasts that marshes will absorb some of that carbon dioxide, and if other coastal ecosystems – such as seagrasses and mangroves – respond similarly, there might be a little less warming," said Kirwan.
One of the most interesting facets about salt marshes is they are perhaps the best example of an ecosystem that actually depends on carbon accumulation to survive climate change: the accumulation of roots in the soil builds their elevation, keeping the plants above the water, Kirwan noted.
Salt marshes store significant quantities of carbon by taking carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere through their leaves, and then storing it in their roots. As plants die, the carbon becomes part of the soil and helps the marsh survive sea level rise.
"Coastal wetlands are among the most economically and ecologically valuable ecosystems on Earth, with their services estimated worth about $15,000 an acre," said Matthew Larsen, associate director for climate and land use research at the U.S. Geological Survey. "They provide clean water, abundant food, wildlife habitat, and protection from storms. This and other USGS research aims to understand and forecast the vulnerability of coastal wetland systems to global change and identify ways that managers can effectively respond to global change effects."
Marshes and Sea Level Rise
Kirwan cautioned that the study also showed that marshes can survive only moderately fast rates of sea level rise. To survive, the elevation of the soil surface has to build vertically through time. If the seas rise more quickly than the marsh can build up, marshes drown and die off.
"At fast levels of sea level rise, no realistic amount of carbon accumulation will help them survive," Kirwan noted.
And, said Kirwan, if marshes are drowned by fast-rising seas, they no longer would provide a significant carbon storage capacity.
The Value of Marsh Ecosystems
Salt marshes, made up primarily of grasses, are important coastal ecosystems that provide a variety of ecosystem services for wildlife, fisheries, and people. They help protect shorelines from storms, provide diverse wildlife habitat for birds, mammals, fish, and mollusks. They also build up coastal elevations by trapping sediment during floods, producing new soil from roots and decaying organic matter. New Orleans, for example, is separated from the Gulf of Mexico almost entirely by marshes.
DOI manages 35 million acres of low-lying coastal areas, including marshes and thousands of miles of shoreline. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service alone manages about 5 million acres of coastal wetlands.
"This research can help decision makers understand and prepare for how coastal areas may fare in response to climate change," said Glenn Guntenspergen, a USGS researcher who leads a project on Coastal Marsh Response to Climate and Land Use Change Project that this study was a part of. Kirwan and his co-author, Simon Mudd, a geosciences researcher at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, used computer models to predict salt marsh growth rates under different climate change and sea level scenarios.

Region's Economic Development Commission launches new initiatives
ALBANY — The Capital Region Economic Development Council held its first meeting of the new year Wednesday, not only introducing brand new initiatives meant to spur more economic development in the region but also pushing for more community involvement.
It was also the first meeting for newly-appointed Co-Chair Dr. Robert Jones, president of the State University of New York at Albany, who replaces Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute President Shirley Ann Jackson, who resigned last year.
Representatives from several state agencies, who Co-Chair James Barba said will be assisting the council with its quest for more funding were also in attendance.
"We feel we need to get the input from people from agencies of the state who have enormous knowledge, ability and skill," said Barba, president and CEO of Albany Medical Center Hospital. "We have not used them as successfully as we might have."
Barba said he understood there were frustrations about the amount awarded to the Capital District during last year's round of funding but noted the area was the second highest in the state in the percentage of projects, with 70 percent of its projects receiving funding. He added that he is looking for the region to be more competitive this year.
"Our commitment to you, and hope it is heard today, is that we will work as hard as we can," Barba said. "We think we have important new resources."
Several presentations were given by groups such as the Regional Innovation Specialist Program, the Path Through History Program and the New York State Job Development Authority Loan Program. All were created for 2013 to help bolster the region's chances for more funding.
Everton Henriques, regional innovation specialist, said his task is to combine the science, technology and innovation in the area and work with Center for Economic Growth Program Director Laura Mann in tying them together with the manufacturing taking place as well.
Karen Bilowith, who heads Path Through History, highlighted the importance of promoting tourism and the area's heritage with 150 historic sites in the region. She said there would be $100,000 available to develop a strategic plan highlighting the beauty and heritage of a site. The guidelines for the program have yet to be finalized.
Ray Salaberrios, senior director at Empire State Development, introduced the JDA Loan program, which will provide loans of up to 40 percent of the five-year cost in manufacturing projects as well as 60 percent of projects for small businesses which are located in economically distressed areas. Continued...
Barba announced two new workgroups, the Public Engagement Workgroup and the Workforce and Education Workgroup, both of which will help to identify different projects and prioritize which ones should be considered for funding.
Lt. Gov. Robert Duffy pointed out the area is rich with economic development but conceded it could do a better job of communicating its worth.
"I think we have incubators throughout the region," Duffy said. "The communication aspect has not caught up with everything that's been going on."
Barba closed the meeting by emphasizing the need for more community involvement on the council, even telling Hudson Valley Community College President Drew Matonak he should be involved in the workgroups.
"Economic development is not the sole responsibility of the council," Barba said in closing. "It's the responsibility of the citizens and you are the citizens. We are also citizens and we are trying to get this figured out."

A-prih-kaht KUR-nuhl OY-il
Apricot Kernel Oil is extracted from apricot kernels and has a very high Vitamin E content (aiding fast absorption) and is a trygliceride composed of 75% oleic acid and 20% linoleic acid, and unsaturated fatty acids esterified with glycerin - similar to avocado oil and sesame oil. Found to be highly compatible with the skin. Apricot Kernel Oil moisturizes and softens skin while helping retain clarity and suppleness.
SUN-flah'-wur OY-il
Sunflower Oil contains beneficial amounts of Phospholipids as well as high concentrations of Ceramides.

-Rinse, towel-dry, and apply a liberal amount of the pak to damp hair evenly, concentrating on hair ends
-Allow formula to remain on hair for a minimum of three minutes (Allowing hair pak to remain on hair for longer periods of time will increase its efficacy)

The hardware is custom designed for Sloane and features a burnished bronze finish.

There must be some of this lurking somewhere.
It's lurking on page 2.
http://www.soviet-empire.com/ussr/viewtopic.php?t=39754 Edit: Although, looking over that topic again, maybe it's worth another shot... I think "A Cryptic Gospel" by Ecclesiastes of Proletariat Productions is very good. Musically it's certainly not as good as Ludacris or someone like that, but I think he more than makes up for it by having something to say. And musically it's not bad, although it's a bit repetitive at points and I didn't like one of the first few songs on the CD. I would take their disclaimer/intro seriously though.
Try the group Public Enemy, they're not communist but you can interpret that they're anti-bourgeiose, or at least anti-U.S..

David Bromberg — Folk by any other name
ALBANY — The distinction David Bromberg draws between folk music and Americana says a lot about who he is as a musician. "I always figured folk music was music that was played when there was no chance of any money changing hands. But then there are tunes that start out as pop tunes but are written in the style of folk music. That's Americana."
If you detect a truism laced with touches of cynicism and sarcasm in his statement, then you begin to understand the unique place Bromberg is coming from. Headlining a show Friday night at The Egg, Bromberg returns for his fourth visit to the Albany venue since 2006, when he first returned to performing after a 22-year hiatus spent building a business as a violin maker. He now estimates that he has uncounted hundreds of violins both in his store and his living quarters above that shop in Wilmington, Del.
In the 1960s, Bromberg was nationally recognized as one of the finest pickers on the folk scene, and a frequent performer in our area. He took guitar lessons from the Rev. Gary Davis, whose importance to folk and blues history is above iconic to the point of being messianic. Earning his stripes in the basket houses of Greenwich Village, Bromberg backed Tom Paxton, Jerry Jeff Walker and recorded early on with artists as varied as rock and roll pioneer Link Wray, The Eagles, country superstar Willie Nelson, and singer/songwriter Carly Simon.
Rosalie Sorrels, another gifted folk artist and frequent performer at Caffè Lena in Saratoga Springs for the last half century, gave Bromberg his first big break at the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970. When the rock crowd grew restless at this huge event off the coast of England, she brought out Bromberg, who drew a standing ovation for what, at the time, was his signature song, a humorous novelty number for adult children called "The Bullfrog Blues." He also appears on Bob Dylan's "New Morning" and "Self Portrait" albums from that era, and told me in 2006 that he'd just produced a new Dylan album. Six years later, he says only two of the songs from that session have seen the light of day on the deluxe version of one of the Dylan bootleg series, "Miss The Mississippi and You" and "Duncan and Brady."
Perhaps most telling of what an anomaly Bromberg is in the folk community is his most recent CD, "Use Me." Guests on the album run from country star Vince Gill to alternative rockers Widespread Panic, from Americana singer/songwriter John Hiatt to Latin rock superstars Los Lobos, from The Band's Levon Helm to '70s mainstream pop songstress Linda Ronstadt. Most artists bring in guest artists to increase fan interest — like Bromberg's definition of Americana — to sell folk music to a bigger pop audience. Usually, the cuts reflect the style of the guest as much as that of the artist they're playing for. Not "Use Me."
"The thing is, I called up all the people who are on it with me and asked them not to be on it," Bromberg said. "I asked them to write a song for me and produce me doing it. And that's what they did. I mean some of them didn't write songs because they're not writers. So they picked a song, but they all produced me doing it. So they made it about me."
If you submit "Use Me" to a blindfold test, you'd never guess all these high-profile artists were on the album. The songs show an unusual breadth of styles and reflect the eclecticism of the contributors, but the emphasis is not their signature sounds, but rather they focus on Bromberg's talent. So, by his own definitions, he's a "folk" artist good enough to attract big name "Americana" artists (not to mention rock, blues, country, bluegrass, and pop personalities) to press his creative buttons.
"Some people have commented that with all these different producers, it hangs together better than any of the albums I've produced myself," Bromberg said, tongue in cheek. "I think, but I'm never quite sure when I talk to him. "I asked them to use me, and they knew how to use me."

Former City Council Candidate Donates Remaining Campaign Money
By: Amanda Ashley
Updated: December 3, 2012
One man who ran for a spot on Rogers city council has donated his leftover campaign money to charity.
Carlos Chicas made a bid for a seat in the November elections, losing in a run-off to incumbent Bob Goodwin. Chicas divided up the remaining funds to two local associations, the American Legion Post 100 in Rogers and NWA Court Appointed Children's Advocate (CASA).
Both organizations received the money during a check presentation Saturday. In a statement, Chicas said it is "a great way to end a hard fought campaign is by giving back to the city that he loves."

Oh my goodness!! I just found your blog from a friend of mine's blog, and I have hit pay dirt! What wonderful food recipes! I'll be back to visit again for sure.
Pam I made a Coconut Chocolate Chunk Pecan Pie in the fall so I know these bars have to be delicious. Plus, bars are so much easier to eat than pie. I'd like to invite you to join my linky party on A Well-Seasoned Life's Sweet Indulgences Sunday.
http://www.wellseasonedlife.com/2011/06/sweet-indulgences-sunday-7.htmlI wanted to let you know that I'm featuring this recipe on my sidebar for a week!! You can find it the post, and the featured button here: http://marvelouslymessy.blogspot.com/2011/06/marvelous-mess-16-and-features.html
Thanks so much for linking up to Marvelous Mess!! I'd love for you to link up again this week!!Yum!!
Thank you for linking this up to {nifty thrifty things} as well!
VanessaHi there- found you through Someday Craft's hop and am a new follower. These look so good! I'm not sure if I can find lgiht corn syrup and the brown sugar here is different thatn int he US....I hope you have time to follow my life in South Africa by http://withoutcomplexities.blogspot.com
Have a great week!Lovely Light - I haven't tried this before but I read that you can try substiting honey for the corn syrup. As for the brown sugar, if you have access to molasses you can make your own brown sugar. I have done this many times. You start with about a cup of sugar and add about a tablespoon of molasses, then stir it up until it is totally combined. You can add a little bit more molasses to make it dark brown sugar. I hope that helps :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious and right up my alley. I've been totally distraught lately, though, over the rising costs of pecans. I've read it's due to increased demand from the Chinese. I suppose it's nice that there's *something* they're buying from us instead of vice versa, but these price hikes are killer!
ReplyDeleteI work for Bass Pecan Company and every year they have a recipe contest where you can win $1000. You should check it out!! If you like baking with pecans this is perfect for you Bass Recipe Blog

Norwich native Daniel Gordon, the former financial whiz kid who bilked Merrill Lynch out of $43 million, is back in business as a top executive for a New York City investment firm and is embroiled in a legal dispute with pro basketball star Eddy Curry.
The Associated Press reported Sunday that Gordon, whose $3 million mansion in Old Lyme was auctioned off to pay creditors in 2004, is now serving as managing partner of the privately held firm Rosedale Cooley & Co. and is living in an apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
Yet, according to filings in his three-year-old bankruptcy case, Gordon's financial dealings remain unclear.
Gordon's ex-wife Laura, a Norwich native whose maiden name was Lesnik, claims in documents that the 36-year-old convicted embezzler drew down more than $3.4 million on a line of credit that a separation agreement had said was forbidden to him, using some of the funds to lend $570,000 to Curry at what the basketball star claims was a "usurious" interest rate of 84 percent annually. Gordon's Las Vegas-based company, Allstar Capital Inc., was set up in a state that allows high-interest loans.
Gordon "wasted no time resuming his fraudulent behavior," his ex-wife said in a complaint related to her former husband's bankruptcy. A separate complaint, filed by the New York bankruptcy trustee, claimed that Gordon used Allstar Capital to effect fraudulent conveyances totaling more than $7 million in an attempt to keep money away from creditors.
Manhattan attorney Donald David, representing Gordon in his bankruptcy case, told the Associated Press that he is disputing the allegations made in court documents.
"To rely upon such allegations, and certainly to presume their truth, is inappropriate and reckless," David said in an email to the AP.
In addition to money sought by other parties, the Internal Revenue Service claims Gordon owes the government $44 million in taxes and interest related to his theft from Merrill Lynch. Gordon lists assets of only $10.8 million.
Curry claims that the high-interest loan that he defaulted on in September 2008 should be declared void because Gordon stole the funds and "proceeded to launder the theft through a usurious loan." A Nevada court had previously told the 7-foot NBA center - who earned a championship ring during the past season with the Miami Heat - that he had to repay Allstar Capital more than $1.2 million in principal and interest, according to The Associated Press.
Allstar Capital is the same company that in 2008 took over a $3.5 million mortgage on a 21-acre tract of land in Groton in a deal arranged by former Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Chairman Michael Thomas, who claims Gordon as a friend. Thomas, ousted as tribal leader two years ago after it was revealed that the Mashantuckets were on the verge of default, has been under investigation by the FBI for financial dealings related to the tribe.
Under the terms of a proposed Gordon bankruptcy settlement, the Groton property would be sold and most of the proceeds would go to Gordon's ex-wife and the bankruptcy trustee.
Gordon had been considered a 23-year-old wonder kid when he was named to head Merrill Lynch's energy-trading unit. The Yale University graduate made waves locally in his mid-20s after buying both Daticon, a Norwich-based document storage company that he purchased in November 2000 for $25.3 million, and Eastern Energy Group, a Norwich-based fuel business that he bought for an undisclosed price.
But he quickly fell under a cloud and in 2003 pleaded guilty to embezzling $43 million from Merrill Lynch by tricking the Wall Street investment company into transferring funds into an account he controlled. He was charged with wire fraud, money laundering and conspiracy.
Only after his arrest did it come out that Gordon had been expelled from the Williams School in New London in 1993 after hacking into the school's computer system to boost grades on his transcript.
Gordon was contrite when asked to address the court during his sentencing hearing.
"I will spend the rest of my life trying to redeem myself," he said at the time.
Cooperating with authorities, Gordon received a lighter punishment than normal, serving less than two years of a 3½-year sentence. He was released from federal prison in November 2007, spent four months at a halfway house in New York and three months in home confinement before earning his official release in May 2008.
Yet, according to his ex-wife's court filings, Gordon, by February 2008, already had been drawing down on a credit line to which he was not entitled. The New York Supreme Court ordered Gordon to pay her back more than $3.5 million, but, according to bankruptcy filings, the money has not been forthcoming.
Gordon also has fallen behind on child-support payments of $5,000 a month and spousal support of $2,500 a month, according to the complaint. Mrs. Gordon also contends that her ex-husband owes her about $150,000 in attorneys' fees related to her attempt to recoup money from the credit line she claims Gordon stole.
"It is all too clear that the plaintiff (Mrs. Gordon) was victimized by the defendant's deception and self-dealing," according to one complaint.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Coffee Tasting |
Coffee tasting (also called 'cupping') is the sensory evaluation of Acidity, Aroma, Body and Flavour. Acidity: refers to the 'liveliness' or brightness of the cup, which is characteristic of high-grade arabica coffees. Think fruity, winy, sharpness in the cup. The longer/darker the roast, the more the coffee loses this characteristic, which can leave a coffee dull and flat. Aroma: refers to the odour of the brewed coffee. Fragrance refers to the smell of the dry coffee grounds before brewing. Smell is an essential element to the cupping process and sensory evaluation of the coffee. Body: refers to the weight or texture of the coffee in the mouth. It is described as: Flavour: Leading taste specialists now believe that saltiness, bitterness, sweetness and sourness can be tasted everywhere in the mouth, although they may be perceived at slightly different intensities at different sites which led way to the historical tongue map (whereby bitterness was tasted at the back of the tongue, sweetness on the tip and sourness/saltiness tasted on the two sides). These basic tastes only take us so far with evaluating coffee flavours. Coffee flavours run across the full spectrum from fruity, nutty, spicy, winy, floral, earthy, chocolate... the list goes on!

Now, T is still at that amazingly malleable and suggestible age where we can decide what we want him to be for Purim, and he'll just go along for the ride. I figure I have two more years, TOPS, before he decides he will NOT be, say, Early John Lennon, but rather, that he needs to be Diego, Superman, or Harvey the Mystical Woodland Gnome. The latter of which is not, to my knowledge, an actual licensed character (YET), but who knows what's going to be big in 2011?

And then I remembered--she had the world's most hideous jeans! And so, we decided to make her a hippie, incorporating said jeans into the costume. All it took was one $10 shirt, an old, weird necklace of mine, and a 49 cent headband to pull the outfit together:
At this point, the only real question is what they're going to be next year. If I may say so, these costumes are going to be hard to top.
I'm thinking something disco-ish, possibly involving platform boots with live goldfish in the heels. I'll let you know.

"We got to something that was really rugged, simple to use, portable and that we knew would really work in harsh environments," Stachel said.
It also spread to other countries after Stachel and Aronson started a nonprofit, We Care Solar. Since 2009, the kits have been helping health care workers save lives not only in Nigeria but in facilities throughout Africa, Asia and Central America.
For Stachel, the solar suitcase is only part of a bigger mission to improve maternal health care and lower mortality rates in developing countries.
According to the World Health Organization, about 800 women die every day from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth. And 99 percent of all maternal deaths occur in developing countries.
"I really want a world where women can deliver safely and with dignity, and women don't have to fear an event that we consider a joy in this country. To see birth associated with death and fear is an outrage," Stachel said. "Before I went to Africa, I knew women were dying at high rates. I just didn't know they were run-of-the-mill things we can take care of."
In 2009, We Care Solar completed the solar electric installation that her husband originally designed for the state hospital. Over the next year, the hospital reported that the death rate for women had decreased 70 percent. Nurses told Stachel they could see what they were doing, they didn't have to turn women away, and they had blood for transfusions because the electricity provided power for a blood bank refrigerator.
"When we saw the impact, that gave me the impetus to provide this fundamental thing for people to do the job they knew how to do," Stachel said.
We Care Solar provides its solar suitcase, along with training and installation, to hospitals and clinics for free. Each solar suitcase costs $1,500, which the nonprofit funds through grants and support from partner organizations and sponsors.
Stachel also works with its partners in various countries to identify clinics in need and help engage the community.
"We often ask them to be involved participating in research studies, giving us feedback and making a commitment to maintain these and to replace parts as they're needed," Stachel said.

Speaking of, another brilliant aspect to the 2CV is its four doors and room for four adults and a decent trunk. This really sets it apart from all the little micro-cars that were all the rage right after the war (and some well before it); most were little more than motorized sidewalk toys. The 2CV was a tall boy, a CUV a half-century ahead of the times. And erstwhile Chrysler President K T Keller would have been proud of the 2CVs father Pierre-Jules Boulanger, who insisted that its roof be raised because he liked to drive with his hat on.
And more brilliance inside: the 2CV prototypes seats were truly hammocks, suspended from the ceiling. BTW, this and so many other aspects of the 2CVs design was all about weight (and cost) saving. The TPV was planned to be built mostly out of aluminum, but the rising cost of that metal forced a change to steel, and innovative ways to still keep weight down, like the corrugated body panels on early versions. The efforts paid off: the 2CV weighs in at around 1200 lbs (560 kg), a phenomenally low weight, given its roominess.
The production version used lawn-chair type seats, with easily replaceable cushions available for $29.95 at every WalMarché in France.
Heres how they look in our featured car, which is legally registered as a 1969 model, but looks (mostly, at least) to be more modern than that; probably from the eighties or so, and imported from Belgium.
Now thats an instrument panel I can get behind. No touch screens, but plenty to touch.

So I knew I was going to propose to my girlfriend of 3 years and she told me she wanted a ring with an asscher diamond. My first reacting was... huh?? I had no idea what an asscher diamond was. But I called up James Allen and someone there (I can`t remember her name) had lots of info on diamonds and explained it to me in a way that I could actually understand. I finally decided to get her this ring with diamonds on the side because I thought it was really cool and she should have a ring that is fit for a queen.
My dream ring... Sending to my boyfriend right now as a hint (wink!)
Love my ring so much! I am crazy for asscher cut diamonds and the channel set diamonds were a total welcomed surprise. The fit is great and comfortable and the ring shimmers to the max.
My friend told me to check out JamesAllen.com when I was shopping around for engagement rings. I was impressed with their selection and a bit overwhelmed. Called customer serivce who really helped me narrow down my options according to the budget and design I wanted. I ended up choosing this ring. It is very my style. Just recieved it and am really happy. Thanks so much.
Sophi U.
Beautiful! I got a .77 carat diamond which is perfect—not too big, not too little. It's really comfortable to wear and not too heavy on my finger. I recommend Jamesallen.com if you're looking for an e-ring. They were a great company to work with!
This ring is so gorgeous... the setting is just so brilliant and sparkly and it looks so glamorous, but not over the top. It`s pure perfection!
This ring is absolutely stunning! Its beauty is even more apparent in person than on the site. I am so glad my fiance and I picked this ring!
Simona R

Fedex amazing US to Australia and to my door in 2 days.Love the ring and have had so may comments on it already.
