Boston, United States
2012 challenge
The City of Boston asked the IBM team to establish a framework that would provide policymakers, administrators, researchers and citizens with information related to historic, current and future transportation trends and options, to reduce traffic congestion and generate new ways to monitor levels of greenhouse gas emissions. Mayor Menino has already crafted policies, such as the Complete Streets initiative and Climate Action Plan, to relieve traffic congestion, promote public transportation and reduce CO2 emissions. Transportation is responsible for about one quarter of Boston's greenhouse gas emissions, and this initiative supports the City's goal to reduce these emissions 25 percent by 2020.

You may think that only larger organizations need to have a formal policy on media relations. But in reality, even smaller businesses and nonprofits can benefit from having a policy.
First, a policy clarifies procedures for working with the media. It specifies the contact person at your organization for the press, as well as who should serve as spokesperson for your organization in interviews.
For example, the contact person could be in marketing and the spokesperson could be the CEO. Or, one person could serve as both the main contact and the spokesperson.
We recommend having one point of contact so journalists or bloggers know whom to contact if they would like to speak with someone from your organization.
Second, a policy offers consistency. It helps ensure that people within your organization deliver a consistent message during media interviews. Having two people within the same organization provide a journalist with different answers in response to the same question gives an inconsistent message and shows a lack of coordination.
No matter what size your organization is, taking some time to develop a media policy is well worth the effort. It can help you develop a stronger brand in the long run, and prepare you for media coverage as your organization grows.

Conference on Omnibus Bill Off to Slow Start
WASHINGTON--House and Senate conferees left most outstanding issues unresolved last week as they met for the first time on the pending education reauthorization bill.
On one key issue, House panelists told their Senate counterparts that appropriators would only fund Chapter 1 concentration grants under the formula passed by the House.
House conferees also expressed opposition to Senate language giving states "program improvement'' authority over Chapter 1 programs and extending the magnet-schools program to districts not implementing desegregation orders.
And, in the meeting's most rancorous dispute, Representative William F. Goodling of Pennsylvania sharply criticized Senator Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts for going outside regular processes to win funding for certain proposals.
Mr. Goodling vowed that he would not support a child-development program proposed by Mr. Kennedy unless a related, House-backed initiative under Chapter 1 is funded first.
The conferees ratified agreements hammered out by aides that cover many of the differences between the two versions of the bill, HR 5 and S 373. The legislation would extend major education programs through 1993 and create new ones.
But they resolved only one outstanding dispute, deciding to ask the General Accounting Office to study the impact of the U.S. Supreme Court's 1985 decision in Aguilar v. Felton, which imposed restrictions on the delivery of Chapter 1 services to religious-school pupils. That request, however, will be left out of the bill.
After hearing yet another item "put to one side,'' Representative Augustus F. Hawkins, Democrat of California, remarked that "the one side is going to be overloaded.''
Kennedy Plan Criticized
Mr. Goodling's criticism of Mr. Kennedy centered on the Massachusetts senator's proposal to fund early-intervention projects providing a variety of social services to young children and their parents. The $25-million program, which would be funded through Head Start, was added to S 373 on the Senate floor.
"Some of us go through the proper process of authorization,'' Mr.
Goodling said, noting that no hearings had been held on Mr. Kennedy's
He added that the initiative could be more appropriately considered with pending child-care legislation.
Referring to the senator's success in getting funding for his "Star Schools'' plan and other as-yet-unauthorized programs into the 1988 budget, Mr. Goodling said he feared that appropriators strapped for money might fund the Kennedy initiative instead of "Even Start.'' That Hawkins-Goodling proposal is included in both HR 5 and S 373.
Even Start would extend the Chapter 1 compensatory-education program to disadvantaged preschoolers and their parents.
Mr. Goodling demanded legislative language that would prevent funding of Mr. Kennedy's program unless Even Start received funding.
Concentration Grants
Mr. Kennedy did not respond directly to Mr. Goodling's remarks, but suggested that they meet informally to work out a solution.
The likely actions of appropriators also figured in the discussion of Chapter 1 concentration grants, which would aid school districts with large proportions of students living in poverty.
House conferees said leaders of their chamber's Appropriations Committee had agreed to fund the grants under the HR 5 formula, which would grant eligibility to counties where more than 6,500 students are poor or where such students make up more than 15 percent of the school population.
Appropriators have refused to fund concentration grants in the past because of concerns that proposed formulas favored urban areas, House conferees said.
The Senate formula would be unacceptable to the House Appropriations panel on those grounds, they said.
Under the Senate version, half the concentration-grant allocation would go to counties with at least 5,000 students, or 20 percent of the student population, living in poverty. It would award the other half through the regular Chapter 1 formula, which generally favors cities.
Staff Agreements Backed
Other differences on Chapter 1 funding were resolved by staff members, and won approval from the committee. Among the agreements:
- A Senate proposal to phase out a count of welfare recipients as a distribution factor was omitted.
- The trigger for concentration-grant funding was set at an appropriation of $3.9 billion.
- Small states were guaranteed a minimum of one-quarter of 1 percent of all Chapter 1 appropriations.
- A $250-million dropout-prevention and basic-skills program in HR 5 was retained as part of Chapter 1.
- A $10-million rural-education initiative approved by the Senate was added to Chapter 1.
Staff-negotiated agreements on the Chapter 2 block-grant program included provisions that:
- Target such funds to programs for "at risk'' or gifted and talented students; purchases of instructional materials; "innovative'' schoolwide improvements; personnel training; efforts to enhance "personal excellence,'' such as arts or fitness programs; early-childhood community education; and suicide prevention.
- Earmark 20 percent of state Chapter 2 grants for "effective schools'' projects, a separate program in S 373.
- Codify the Education Department's school-recognition program under the Secretary's Chapter 2 discretionary fund; add an office of health education as a permitted use of the fund; and forbid use of a "program significance'' panel to review programs for the National Diffusion Network.

I don't like Hillary Clinton. Not even a little bit.
I perceive her to be an arrogant, deceitful, opportunistic rich girl, a card-carrying representative of the wealthy vermin who have almost succeeded in their goal of turning America into one of the third world countries that make our overpriced sneakers and jeans that fall apart. Hillary Clinton is the screechy, cankly, wrinkly embodiment of all that I truly loathe about America, and if she finagles her way into winning the Democratic nomination for President in 2016, I will most likely not vote for President at all.
The system we have come to accept as normal has been jiggered to serve Hillary and her ilk, and it needs to be taken down. Wasserman-Schultz's manipulation of the early 2016 Democratic debates to favor her former boss is a clear indication of that. Through the media they own and the politicians they have bought, the elite have led us to believe that only the "chosen" have the right to govern us, and I am sick of it.
The buffoons running as Republican corporate lackeys are arguably even more distasteful than Hillary, but my days of voting for the lesser of two evils are dead. Dogshit is dogshit, even if it stinks a bit less than the pile across the street.
One of Hillary's "strongest" arguments is that she will continue the policies of Obama, and, presumably, those of her husband. This is hardly a commendation, and in fact is even more reason to spurn her candidacy.
If you think the Democratic Party has not swung to the Right, you're simply not paying attention. Both mainstream parties do the bidding of the rich, else they would not take what is essentially bribe money from wealthy donors during their campaign runs. Here are some disturbing examples of how some of the more popular "progressives" have betrayed their allegiance to big money:
Bill Clinton signed NAFTA, which allowed many jobs to be shipped out of the country. He attacked unions. He bombed Iraq. He helped gut welfare for the poor, but left oil company subsidies intact. He repealed Glass-Steagall, which set the stage for the 2008 financial collapse. He accepted $1.2 million in speaking fees from a bank, UBS, which his wife Hillary had just helped to avoid handing over to the IRS the names of people with secret Swiss bank accounts. Champions of the Middle Class my ass.
President Obama gave us the NDAA, which severely curtails our freedoms. He steadfastly refused to prosecute the Bush Family war criminals and CIA torturers. He allowed Wall Street thugs and banksters to walk free after they intentionally gutted our economy. He allowed BP to drill for even more dirty oil in the Gulf of Mexico, despite the destruction their negligence reaped on the people who live in the areas surrounding the Gulf, and the accompanying destruction of wildlife. Mr. Obama, coincidentally, had been given the largest chunk of BP's campaign money over the past 20 years, to the tune of $77,051. Under Obama, the 1% have gathered 95% of the economic recovery. Yes, he's created jobs, but many of them involve wearing a paper hat.
Hillary is proudly declaring that she will continue these policies and expand on them. If that's what modern-day Democrats stand for, I'm even more determined to register as a Socialist (my state doesn't allow it).
The problem with this country is a system that rewards avarice and deceit, and Hillary Clinton's political existence depends on maintaining that system. Bernie has unabashedly stood against the vicious tug of the corporate undertow his entire life. He is, in reality, more of a true Democrat that many of the "real" Democrats who have swung so far to the Right in recent decades as to be indistinguishable from their Republican doppelgangers.
Bernie's candidacy offers what is most likely the last time we will have the opportunity to vote for a person who has remained doggedly consistent throughout his career. He is not "bought". He does not accept money from the criminals on Wall Street and then justify doing so. He is stridently anti-war. His calculated decision to run as a Democrat speaks to his practical approach to politics. He "gets things done" for us little people, no matter what it takes.
Bernie is the last best hope we have of electing a person who has not been corrupted by the system of greed and cronyism we have come to accept as normal. Those who argue that he is "unelectable" are basically despairing that we will ever recover what small shreds of true democracy remain in our failing republic. If the Democratic establishment succeeds in torpedoing his Presidential bid (or he suffers a mysterious "heart attack"), and offers us Hillary as the booby prize, I'm done. If the majority of Americans insist on continuing to blindly elect their own plantation masters, they can do it without me. Time to buy a big bag of popcorn and watch this place crumble around our ears.
Feces by any other name smells just as bad.

Much of the gold found in Eastern Alaska has been located around Nome. In 1898, four men went to Anvil Creek in the Snake River and found gold. Intending to keep their discovery a secret, they didn't stake a claim. They waited with the intention of returning in the spring with the outfits and provisions that they would need. However, their secret was ultimately revealed and other prospectors decided to brave storms to get to Nome. Prospectors went to Cape Nome and on Anvil Creek they discovered even more gold than the original four prospectors did. These other prospectors each staked their claim. This resulted in a great stampede from all over the area to the Anvil Creek region. By January, some 400 men traveled to Nome and lived in tents until the spring thaw. A community known as Anvil City was located at the mouth of the Snake River and several Snake River tributaries were staked.
As soon as news got to Dawson some 8,000 people rushed to Nome within a week. In North America only the Klondike and California gold rush were greater than the Nome gold rush in 1899. Because of a lack of civil authority there was general lawlessness such as claim jumping on the creeks, but this was finally relieved when gold was discovered on the beach gravels near Nome in 1899. This resulted in a daily situation of first come, first serve since claims couldn't be staked on the beach. However, there was sufficient beach to accommodate almost everybody. The Solomon River Valley was another location in the district where extensive mining was conducted. By 1900, both deposits of lode and placer gold were being worked.
In the Nome district, bedrock is primarily Precambrian and Paleozoic that has been displaced by a minimum of two generations of faults and folds and intruded by small grantic plutons as well as now altered rock bodies of mafic. Tungsten concentrates have been developed from the residual material over the scheelite bearing lodes and antimony and gold have been produced from lode deposits near Nome. Although none have ever been successfully worked, lodes for other metals that are possibly valuable such as zinc, lead, molybdenum, bismuth, copper and iron are known in the Nome district. The lodes, most of them probably and spatially related genetically to the younger faults and folds, are primarily quartz veinlets and vein, many of which contain calcite or feldspar that have many different combinations of scheelite, metallic sulfides, and free gold. The deposits of placer gold were the result of the lodes.

gawn fishin'
'Nuff said.
I lost my Uncle Jim on November fifth. I have been avoiding this particular post because I don't want to admit that my uncle's life is over. That's denial, the first stage of grief. Anger follows, then the bargaining stage. Depression is the fourth stage, which is good to know. It's hard to see beyond depression at any time, but with grief, acceptance will follow.
Yes, I started this post only a few weeks after UJ was laid to rest, but the idea of Lucky Bamboo Day is infused with the love I have for him and the rest of my family. I saw four decks of cards on a table, smelled beer, so I knew the Leeds crowd was there: Granny 'Daisy' Leeds, Uncle Frankie looking down his glasses, Aunt Jean laughing the loudest. May the spirit of Lucky Bamboo infuse all our lives, every day. We are all family and we are all lucky to know each other.
monster slayed
My best and only husband finally learned to control the Money Monster.
Today we celebrate the credit he deserves.
dragonfly lake scents
Let the bartering games begin!
Dragonfly Lake Scents is a local Erie startup of heavenly hand crafted soaps. I met the owners through Girl Scouts and hurried home to visit their website.
I had a temper-tantrums with my beloved husband in range of righteous spittle. "How do I diplomatically say that their pictures suck? They deserve better than that."
Long and short, here is my loot for a two hour shoot. In a couple weeks, we'll be going back to do the rest of their product line.
Lest anyone be confused, these products and this image is the only thing I kept. Tenise and Mioshee own the other images I took.
Plan to wait til I need more soap, then nudge Girlfriends.
terrilynn's house
I'd have to go back to check the dates, but the last time I visited Terrilynn and the gang, I predicted they'd be in their new house by Thanksgiving. I, uh, was a little off, but TA DA! Barring any bizarre closing tragedy, I give you the outside of Terrilynn's first house. Terry is so proud he's about to become twins.
These are just some quick snaps with gardening in mind. Can you dig that front porch, though?
international flavors
About six seasons ago, Gramma and I happened across a community garden in the city of Erie. We stopped the car, after going across the street to ask if it was permitted to wander. I got to talking with one of the Sisters there, turns out her name is Sister Phyllis, about gardening and such. I left her one of my cards, then forgot about it. Out of the blue, I got a call last week, asking if I was still interested in helping children garden. Out of respect, I did not shout, "Hell, yes!"
I'll be meeting the director of the program on Monday. Sweet and DUN!
While I was getting a close up of these lovely double daffs, I caught the interest of a passer-by. I think the man is part of the neighborhood and wondered why I was laying on my belly in the middle of the sidewalk. We got to talking about cameras and I advised him to buy a Tamron lens if he is serious about cameras.
not dun, of course,
but marching right along.
tree of life
Cornball title, I know, but appropriate, doncha think? Haven't mentioned it before, but Mom went into rehab about a month ago to get stronger, then contracted pneumonia instead. This is after breathing carrots instead of swallowing them, but the short of the long is that I have been painting her place. This is me and my friend Nancy waiting for Mom to come home. I will bare my soul here, because I admit it took me more than a couple weeks to get started because there was that fraction of a possibility that Mom wouldn't come home. Hated to waste the paint.
my cloud
Today I give you an image to battle negativity. This is a symbol of Serenity, of peace between you and God, a relationship that needs celebrated and embraced often. I invite you to use it when you want to shout, "Get offa my cloud."
Call it what you will, I've looked down at my feet and I find that once again, I've hacked through the underbrush, re-invented the wheel and called out battle cries, just to find out the Girl Scouts have been sneaking around doing the same thing since 1912.

Any question about the artwork, the artist or the delivery?
Alexander Calder was an international renowned American sculptor, born in 1898 and died in 1976. After studying mechanical engineering, and working in several jobs in this sector, he decided to turn towards art and studied painting at the Art Students League of New York.
In his early age, the artist had a fascination for circus, which led him to create the Calder Circus in 1926. His first own exhibition took place in New York in 1928, and his meeting with Piet Mondrian in 1930 was a profound artistic turning point. He then developed an abstract and colored style of sculpture, and turned away from figuration.
It is by joining the group "Abstraction-creation", in 1931, with Piet Mondrian, Hans Arp, and Robert Delaunay, that he realized his first mobiles in iron wire for which he is so famous today. It is about the assembly of mobile and independent elements set in motion by the air or an electric motor, of which Marcel Duchamp gave the denomination "Mobiles".
From 1933, Alexander Calder met with great success in the United States. The 1930's are his longest-wounded decade: he improved his abstract moving compositions, realized "La Fontaine de Mercure" exhibited next to "Guernica" at the Spanish pavilion of the International Exhibition in 1937, and had for the first time a retrospective at the George Walter Vincent Smith Gallery in Springfield in 1938.
Alexander Calder received the Grand Prize at the Biennial of Venice in 1952 and in 1964 the Guggenheim museum dedicated him a retrospective exhibition, officially showing his established recognition. The Tate Modern museum also had a retrospective exhibition from November 2015 to April 2016.

Recent success of body wave retrieval from noise or coda correlations that creates new 3-D paths other than laterally propagating surface waves has advanced our ability of probing and monitoring deep Earth. Growing applications have been made for imaging Moho and transition zone discontinuities, D" reflector, inner core structure, and potentially monitoring volcanic system at depth, showing great promise to complement earthquake-based data. Applying earthquake coda interferometry techniques to 1846 USArray stations deployed across North America from January 2004 through September 2013, we show that the spatial analysis of the differential travel time residuals between two core phases, PKIKP2 and PKIIKP2, reveals significant short-wavelength variation and implies the existence of strong structural variability in the deep Earth. Especially, a linear N-S trending anomaly across the middle of the U.S. may reflect an asymmetric quasi-hemispherical structure deep within the inner core with boundaries of 99°W and 88°E (Huang et al., 2015). Moreover, in collaboration with NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, we also prove the applicability of seismic interferometry to determining the discontinuity structure of Europa (Panning et al., 2017).

Full disclosure: I've got a thing for Maine. I went to college there, I got married there, I regularly vacation there. And I've always believed that Portland has one of the more vibrant, compelling food scenes, thanks in no small part to all that pristine seafood and craft beer. I've written about the Forest City (who knew it was called that?) and its restaurants more than any other city besides New York. I even called it America's Foodiest Small Town in a 2009 story (wow, that title didn't age well). So, why should you believe me when I declare Portland our 2018 City of the Year? And after years of me talking about it, why now?
For starters, it's the sheer number of outstanding openings—from a tiny pastry shop that serves knockout Roman pizza to a Jewish-style deli that ranks up there with New York and L.A.'s best. And while you can still get an Instagram-worthy lobster roll and a dozen local oysters, you're missing out if you skip the killer pho spot or the guy selling hand rolls out of a Yeti cooler.
No, this year's award isn't a case blind favoritism. It's simply because this always-tasty city has never tasted better. Want more proof? Here are 20 ways to binge your way through it right now.
Start every day with a trip to Tandem Bakery. I find it almost impossible to order anything other than a biscuit slathered in butter and blueberry jam. Wait, I mean the sticky bun. No, the black sesame and banana tea cake. Then again, pretty much everything baker Briana Holt whips up is brilliant.
Get a glass of on-tap Maine-made pét-nat Morphos, throw back expertly shucked oysters and baby scallops (when in season), and you could easily spend your entire afternoon at The Shop at Island Creek Oysters.
Treat the high-energy Izakaya Minato like a sushi bar: Sit at the low-slung kitchen counter and ask chef-owner Thomas Takashi Cooke to give you whatever was swimming nearby yesterday (mackerel, uni, scallops). And when you've polished that off, order another glass of sake and a couple plates of JFC (Japanese fried chicken).
Stay at the 15-room Francis Hotel set in a historic Victorian Mansion (I prefer the junior suite, room 303). At night I like to sip an old-fashioned in front of the fireplace, but the best reason to stay here might be the fact that it's located directly across the street from Tandem Bakery (see No. 1).
Forget trendy and head to Ruski's Tavern, a neighborhood bar that is open from 7 a.m. (9 a.m. on Sundays) and serves just about every bar food you can imagine. The chili cheese dog will not disappoint. If this place ever dies, so too will Portland.
Hit up the Jewish deli that's worth its weight in legit bagels: Rose Foods. Yes, I just said that (it's on our Top 50 list!). And after you've loaded up on perfect Montreal-style bagels, crispy latkes, and a big bowl of matzo ball soup, be sure to purchase one of their soon-to-be-famous canvas totes.
Order the funky, fresh pho ga at Cong Tu Bot on Portland's restaurant row, Washington Avenue. Actually, everything I tried at Vien Dobui and Jessica Sheahan's lively Vietnamese street food spot was brimming with herbs, heat, and soul.
Try your best not to fill up on the standout small plates (see: house-made morcilla, cured local bluefish on smoked onions) at Spanish-leaning Chaval, or you'll risk being too full to try Ilma Lopez's desserts. She's one of the most talented pastry chefs in town, just as skilled with the simple (sticky and addictive maple pie) as the ornate (Paris-Brest with cacao sorbet).
Swing by Little Giant, the sophomore effort from the team behind local favorite Portland Hunt + Alpine Club, which gets clever with dishes like lobster chips with serrano ranch and Moxie-braised pork belly. The sister market next door sells local beers and groceries and daily specials (don't miss Friday and Saturday's roast chicken and biscuits).
Visit the wine bar of my dreams: Drifters Wife (another Top 50 nominee!). Basically, I want the life of owners Peter and Orenda Hale. They're constantly popping open bottles of chuggable natural wines from their wine shop and then skipping over to the dining room to feast on mussel toast with nduja and other seasonal plates from chef Ben Jackson. At least this is how I want to believe they live.
Follow Mr. Tuna (a.k.a. Jordan Rubin) and his Japanese-style temaki hand rolls to whatever location he's popping up at that day. Equipped with only a rice warmer, two Yeti coolers packed with his mise en place, and a cutting board, Rubin frequents breweries and special events serving impeccably fresh seafood. The spicy scallops and crab roll is a bar snack par excellence, but it's the crab with yuzu mayo and avocado that convinced me to buy a Mr. Tuna T-shirt. I've got no problem being a walking advertisement for the guy.
Learn why beer geeks get giddy about Portland. Every single day a new brewery opens somewhere in Maine. I'm kidding, kinda. My favorites (with tasting rooms, of course) include groundbreaking Allagash, Bissell Brothers, Oxbow, and Foundation, but newcomer Austin Street Brewery is getting the buzz of late.
Explore the Public Market House—part mall food court, part restaurant incubator. The gem of the bi-level space is Maiz, which serves arepas sliced open like a pita and stuffed with ingredients like chorizo, avocado, and zingy chimichurri sauce.
Don't skip the city's trailblazers. When I was in college in nearby Lewiston a couple decades ago, a big night out with the visiting parents meant dinner at Fore Street, which is still going strong. Add the reinvented Hugo's and the locals' beloved Back Bay Grill to the classics list.
Ask yourself: What is Ten Ten Pié? A French bakery? Japanese market? Bento box cafe? It doesn't matter—I'm a fan of baker Atsuko Fujimoto (that rhubarb tart!) and Markos Miller's eclectic general store, whatever it is.
Leave town! Biddeford is the best reason to drive 18 miles south. It's home to one of the country's best cookbook stores, Rabelais (say hello to Don and Sam for me) and upstarts Little Spruce Baking Co. and Elda restaurant. It's also home to the Single. Best. Diner. On. The. Planet. Palace Diner. The flapjacks are towering, the burger is smashed and crunchy, and the tuna salad sandwich is quickly becoming a Maine icon.
Carbo-load at Belleville, which is putting out the city's best and butteriest croissants. Arrive at 11:30 a.m. sharp—that's when the shop's other signature dish, Roman-style pizza al taglio, is pulled from the oven with toppings like fig and rosemary or shiitake and Gruyère. They also play Rush!
Discover my perfect hangout. Thanks to a tip from Kazeem Lawal of Portland Trading Co. (he plays the best vinyl) just up the street, I found out about a tiny pub called Maps with local craft beers, vinyl, and vintage, yes, maps. When lobster-roll-seeking tourists of the Old Port are too much, this is your safe place.
Make room for Middle Eastern–inspired Baharat's Turkish crab dip with house-made chips and takoyaki and okonomiyaki from Japanese comfort food spot Mami, which prove that you can go from great food truck to even better brick-and-mortar.
Pull up a stool at tried-and-true DiMillo's on the Water for the old-school wood bar, prime people-watching, and bacon-wrapped scallops.
Check back Tuesday, August 14, to find out if Rose Foods or Drifters Wife made the Hot 10.

An illustration of 20 aurochs-like breeds and more
13 comments:
- Anonymous18 June 2015 at 12:53
congratulation, you did a really great job on your illustrations (and of course the whole blog!)!
I have to say, that I didn't really like the body shape of the old illustrations, particularly the heads, so I'm glad you improved that.Not that those illustrations were bad but I just didn't like that fact.
Don't worry about the water marks, you have every right to put them on your own work!
Thanks for the blog and all the work you`re putting into it.
Best regards
Ursus MajorReplies
Thanks! Yes, the old ones were sloppy. Actually I intended to draw the new ones in order to replace them on wikipedia, but they turned out to be too qualitative for my taste to upload them to wikimedia and give everyone the right to use them how they want. At the moment I am too "exhausted" to do new ones for Wikipedia.Delete
This is absolutely amazing but if I may make a suggestion for one alteration. At the bottom it would be awesome to see, the other side of the human scale figure, an example of a typical domestic cow which is as non-aurochsy as possible (a fresian for example). This would really emphasise the differences and make people who are used only to seeing "typical black and white cows" appreciate the differences in structure more (just my opinion).ReplyDelete
This is truly awesome work - great job.Replies
Actually the table with the 20 breeds has a human next to the aurochs. For the other ones, I considered to add one to but I thought they would distort the image. However I could change that, but for now I don't feel the need to.Delete
I also considered to add one of the very derived breeds, f.e. Fleckvieh, but then I thought it is not really necessary as everyone knows those cattle and drawing 48 individuals was already much enough....
Hi, I'm from Spain and I follow your blog, I think it is the most complete and informative tool about the Aurochs reconstruction and I really appreciate your drawings. I neither have much hopes on the Taur0s project, too much breeds used there and Highland cattle was IMO a mistake, though I hope Uruz Project to be better.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks for the kind words!Delete
Regarding the Tauros Project, only time will tell, but my honest prognosis is that their cattle will be probably as good as Taurus cattle, and they also have large quantities by now already.
Yes, it will end up looking good but given the big number of breeds used it will take so many years. Have you ever heard about the bulls called "media casta"? They are bulls of dark, primitive and big races (like Sayaguesa and similar) mixed with Lidia so they have Lidia features like body structure but they have a much less aggresive behaviour, and were used for soft, less dangerous bullfighting.Delete
I just googled for that breed/strain but I didn't find that much...Delete
It is not a breed or a strain but a generical name for Lidia + non bullfighting bulls from NW Spain (generally Sayaguesa). I'm pretty sure this is one of them:Delete
- Anonymous30 June 2015 at 19:24
Take a look at this video.ReplyDelete
Wow, huge one. Thanks for the video, I think I have seen some photos of that individual previously. Holstein are a two-edged sword. On the one hand, their skulls, proportions and sometimes also ribcage morphology are very useful, just as their size. On the other hand, most of them have huge udders, their recessive white spots are a pain in the *** and their ecologic capacities are AFAIK untested.Delete
Casta Navarra is in fact one of the "castas" (lineages) of Lidia, together with the Casta Cabrera (e.g. the famous Miura bulls), Casta Vazqueña and the best known of all, Casta Vistahermosa.ReplyDelete
Hi, is there any chance I could buy https://farm1.staticflickr.com/401/18391701903_49c6c19e4d_o.jpg this picture in high resolution and without the watermarks from you? I want to make a poster for my office.ReplyDelete

The Science Barge
December 24, 2011 Leave a comment
Last summer, I joined students and their teacher Carol Kennedy from the EcoLeaders program in the Bronx on a trip to the Science Barge. This floating facility teaches about urban farming and sustainable energy. The barge moves from one location to another; sometimes you can see it docked in Manhattan, but in July 2011 it was on the Hudson River in Yonkers. The barge grows hydroponic vegetables such as tomatoes and lettuce, uses solar/wind energy and vegetable oil, and recycles its wastewater with the goal to "to stimulate the sustainable development of New York City."

We've been back in Pemberton over 3 weeks already ... it feels like just yesterday that we arrived!
In amongst it all, I've been happy to have the opportunity to take my camera out for a couple of getting-to-know-you-again sessions in the valley!
All together now: Click image to enlarge photograph!
First was a drive down the Meadows Road, to the end of the tarmac and several k's down the dirt track:
Then a walk to One Mile Lake, where we discovered new boardwalks and better access:
Mini-hike with family to Nairn Falls - chilly but well worth it:
And a few other miscellaneous scenes ...
It is SO good to be back!

CHICAGO — Renovations are now complete at five CTA Blue Line stations as part of the CTA's "Your New Blue" project. The plan to upgrade 14 stations along the Blue Line's north branch started in 2014 . It promises track work that will cut 10 minutes off a commute from downtown to O'Hare in two years. Officials say that branch of the Blue Line is used by 80,000 people daily, and experienced a 5-year ridership increase of 25% that outpaces the growth of the rail system as a whole.
The city announced Monday morning that renovation work is now done at five stations: Addison, Irving Park, Montrose, Harlem and Cumberland.
In addition to these five stations, the Damen, Western, and California stations have already been upgraded as part of the project. Still to come: upgrades at Jefferson Park, Belmont, Logan Square, Division, Chicago and Grand. Most of the schedules are still pending for that work, but we do know that the Belmont station is set to get a new canopy and will be done in 2018.
The CTA is also moving forward with plans to extend the Red Line south. The Red Line currently ends at 95th street, but the CTA would like to extend it down to 130th to better serve Chicago's Far South Side. The CTA board has approved $75 million for engineering and environmental impact work on the project.
There are two proposed routes: one running east and one west of the current Union Pacific Railroad tracks. Both would extend the red line just over five miles and include four new stations: 103rd, 111th, Michigan, and 130th. Trains would stay on elevated tracks until 119th, and then transition to street level.
The CTA is taking comments from the public on the extension for the next few days.
Here's a look at some of the proposed Red Line stations:

Academic genealogies are interesting! They are fun if taken not too seriously and they can overwhelm if taken seriously! I firmly believe a Guru's great importance cannot be judged by the magnitude of their achievements; less or more, they should be venerated for sculpting whatever goodness is present in us. Nevertheless, one should always strive to be the Anu, the Zeus, the Brahma of your own genealogy; of a new vista of knowledge. I have the fortune of being an off-shoot of an academic tree of some of the greatest chemists of the world. I see all of them with admiration and respect. This page is just for enjoyable reading. I desire no adulation, concessions, nor non-contextual criticism for belonging to this academic genealogy.

Associated Press Releases National Story on January 4, 2000 Covering Final Court Decision Held on December 13, 1999.
Associated Press Releases National Story on June 9, 1999 Detailing the Annulment of a Fraudulent Adoption.
Exclusive Channel 7 News Interview in Denver CO
In addition we have filed a Motion to Unseal the Court File
Judge Cates granted disclosure of all adoption information in the Department of Children and Family Services, but not the actual court file where all of the fictitious names reside.
Sometime ago the Appellate Court in Florida held "there is no statute of limitations on fraud to set aside an adoption". The cases we are relying on to set aside the adoption are: Kupec v. Cooper, 593 So. 2d 1176, (Fla 5th DCA 1992) "Florida courts need to adhere to or enforce the adoptive status or the rights flowing therefrom when the adoption is repugnant to the laws or policies of Florida.", Tsilidis v. Pedakis, 132 So.2d 9 (Fla 1st DCA 1961), Kupec v. Cooper, above. Adoption Hot Line, Inc. v. HRS, 385 So. 2d 682 (Fla 3rd DCA 1980); Trushin v. State of Florida., 475 S.2d 1290 (Fla. 3rd DCA 1985).
We filed a petition on June 7th to annul my adoption and to have my original birth certificate corrected to reflect my true birth identity.
Since then, the court assigned us another case number in this matter and we had to file another petition on June 18th to correct that.
On June 22, 1999 we filed a notice of a telephonic hearing on Petitioner's Motion to Transfer and Close before the Honorable Maurice V. Guinta by telephone conference call on July 29, 1999. On August 31th 1999 an Order On Motion To Transfer was signed by Honorable Maurice V. Guinta.
On June 28, 1999, Florida Department of Health, Office of Vital Statistics, responded to us by saying that they had no objection to our petition.
On July 29, 1999 the Honorable Maurice Guinta granted our motion to continue Transfer with our case. We are now in the process to procure a court date sometime this autumn for the final hearing.
We have had reports from several newspaper editors, that the clerk office of the Gainesville Court, would not release any of the public documents (motion to anull and grant a new birth certificate), and we believe this to be a violation of our constitutional rights.
The purpose of this web site is to display a fully documented fraudulent adoption case that took place in Gainesville Florida during the year of 1952. We believe, based on the extent of our documentation, that this case may be the only one of its kind in the hands of any adoptee. We are only interested in adoptees who have been involved in any fraudulent adoption process. This site will be evolving as time goes on. The first launch date of this site is June 7, 1999.
I have conducted a search for my birth family for the last 20 years that has culminated in what I believe to be full closure to my life. With the help of Josette P. Marquess, MSW Coordinator of the Florida Adoption Reunion Registry (Department of Children and Family Services), I was able to obtain enough detailed information to eventually have my sealed adoption records released to me by a court order out of Gainesville Florida. Ms. Marquess was very instrumental in writing me a five page letter detailing as much non-identifying information relating to my birth family as she could. The date of that letter was August 15, 1995. I am ashamed to say that our court system is as foul as one might imagine. Many years ago (1940′s – 1950′s) Florida was ripe with black market adoptions.
I didn't realize that I had enough ammunition to get my sealed adoption records open until I read an article last October 1998 in the Sun-Sentinel in Palm Beach County Florida. The article referred to a prominent private investigator by the name of Virginia Snyder who lived in Delray Beach Florida. Mrs. Snyder was featured on several talk shows including David Letterman and was written up in People's magazine on October 12, 1998. The series "Murder She Wrote" are based on the chronicles of Virginia Snyder's private investigations. Apparently a lawsuit was filed against her for allegedly stealing adoption records out the Gainesville County Courthouse. A birth mother filed a lawsuit claiming that she suffered all kinds of stresses because her birth daughter located her. After personally meeting with Mrs. Snyder, I found this to be untrue. In fact I asked her to obtain my records in the same manner as she allegedly obtained the other ones because my adoption also took place in Gainesville Florida. Mrs Snyder quickly read my letter (non-identifying information of birth family) from Mrs. Marquess. Mrs. Snyder told me that the letter was laced with enough evidence pointing to a fraudulent adoption. My original birth certificate was constructed under an assumed name. The parties involved, were the attorney for the adoptive parents (William D. Hopkins who was Tallahassee's State Attorney in 1952), Judge John A. H. Murphree of the Circuit Court of the Eighth Judicial Circuit in and for Alachua County, and an Adoption Broker out of Jacksonville Florida by the name of Leanora F. Fielding. Interestingly, both Hopkins and Murphree are still alive. Hopkins lives in Tallahassee and Murphree lives in Gainesville. They are still listed in the phone book and both men should be confronted publically with the crimes that they have committed. In fact the law library of the Gainesville Courthouse is named after Judge Murphree. Mrs Fielding is now deceased, but her husband, Charles Melvin Fielding, at the time of her placing babies privately, was a Police Captain of the Jacksonville Police Department. Capt. Fielding had over 40 years with the Police Department by the time he retired around 1966. Mrs. Fielding ran her black market baby operation from 1944-1952 out of her home on 143 Talullah Ave. She worked closely with a doctor by the the name of F.H. Schnauss who was an optomologist at St. Luke's Hospital in Jacksonville Florida. Dr. Schnauss was the attending physician at the time of my birth. I have obtained a copy of a lawsuit filed against Mrs. Fielding by another birth mother. It is good reading. Boy, how convenient could all of these parties have it? It took me 20 years to find and locate all of the parties involved.
Mrs. Snyder convinced me to go up to Gainesville in November 1998. On November 2, 1998 I filed a petition to open my birth records based on the fraudulent activities conducted by both the court and the attorney. I approached the office of the Chief Judge (Robert P. Cates) with the petition. He wanted the Department of Children and Family Services to put together more detailed information relating to my petition. Mrs. Marquess wrote to Judge Cates a very detailed letter explaining why the records should be opened. In response to the letter, Judge Cates entered an order directing the Department of Children and Family Services to show good cause why the petition for adoption information should not be granted. That order was signed on November 19, 1998. Mrs. Marquess then responded on December 10, 1998 with firmer allegations made by the fraudulent parties. In that letter was an Order Directing the Florida Department of Children and Families to Release the Adoption Record. Judge Cates finally signed the order on December 14th 1998 releasing my closed adoption records. The Department of Children and Family Services mailed me about 85 pages concerning my adoption process. "I was shocked to say the least." I also found out that I was bought for only $200. The adoptive parents were also very fraudulent by misrepresenting themselves to the HRS case workers. I have always known them to be very manipulative throughout my life and not having many friends. There is too much information in that document to put on this web site, but I do plan on writing a book that promises to be very entertaining. The cost of that book should only be around $25.00.
On December 20th 1998 I made a trip to Tallahassee to meet with one of my natural brothers and our mother, Winnie Faye Higginbotham. I won't get into all of the emotions as I will leave the good stuff for the book. However, my brother, Robert Norrman, had an interesting connection with one of his fellow Masons. His connection was to an attorney, Mallory E. Horne, who was a past President of the Senate and Former Florida Speaker of the House. I took my case to Mallory Horne in February of 1999. This was filed on June 7th, 1999 in Gainesville Florida.
While in Gainesville, I went to the Public Records department and tried to find some sort of documentation relating to my adoption. I found in the basement a Chancery book #46 that had a copy of my petition to adopt Baby Boy Barnwell. I asked the clerk to make me a copy of that page. She came back and told me that I had to talk to the manager of the records department.
Karen D. Kenniston
Manager of Official Records
Alachua County Courthouse
201 East University Avenue
Post Office Box 600
Gainesville FL 32602
Karen said that anything relating to an adoption could not be released to the public. I told her that my constitutional rights were being violated and that I had every right to access a public document. She said that she would make a copy only if she could "white out" all of the names involved on that "public document". She also told me to contact Anita Shepperd, legal counsel for the Clerk of Court of Alachua County, if I had any other questions.
I plan to do more work on this web site, but I need constructive feedback to accomplish such a task. If you are an individual who doesn't believe in searching for birth families, please do not contact me in any way. I would like some one to help me collect such fraudulent stories and document them on this site. The name "adoption-fraud" is very catchy and means what it says. If you have any feelings of guilt about wanting to know who your birth family is then read this.
Special Warning
We have had bad experiences using some private investigators. We found them on the internet and like most investigators they are out to take your money. Please do your homework first.
Florida has the dubious honor of being one of the leading states for black market adoptions. Over the last 60 years, countless babies were delivered into the hands of eager adoptive parents by unscrupulous doctors, attorneys and "humanitarians". Some of those who have been involved in Florida black market adoptions are:
- Dr. Bernard Abel, Jackson Memorial Hospital, Miami
- Mr. & Mrs. Fielding, Jacksonville
- Dr. Weathers, Jacksonville
- Helen Tanos Hope, attorney – Miami area
- Mr. & Mrs. Richardson, Mt. Dora, Dr. Tyre, Harry Gaylord, attorney (private unwed mothers home)
- Waterman Hospital, Eustice
- Katherine M. Cole, Ephrain Suarez, Ruby Sutera, Suarez Clinic and Cole's clinc, Miami ("Cole Babies")

It's a ball of fur…it's a silver Snitch…no, it's a Bulbul!
Since I started looking, I've seen quite a few birds do that fluffing out trick they do. But the Bulbul outside my window just now was something else! Some rapid movement caught my eye and I turned to look. All I could see was a greyish globe shaking violently. When my eyes adjusted to the movement I saw a small black head peeking out of the churning ball. I watched fascinated for more than a minute while this flapping grey ball just became bigger and bigger. And then suddenly within a blink of my eye there was nothing. The bird had evidently swooped down behind a wall, but it certainly felt as if it counted disapparation among its talents.
I am not complaining. A little morning-magic can last the whole day.
