I am still loving the Buffy/Wendy allusions. In the world of angst, it is nice to see some well written comedy.

Ah! So Tim and Dick are into Buffy and Superboy has decided to model himself on Angel? That was funny. What I really liked was poor Bats not getting it until Oracle mentioned the time slots for the various programs. Only someone as incredibly smart as Bruce could imagine that Tim Drake is dating Buffy the Vampire Slayer (and quite possibly Willow too, the Lesbo threesome thing, you know) %P

Summer time is disappearing fast and fall is approaching. We know you want to make the most of your flirty summer fashions, but your light and white clothing will soon have to give way to more somber colors and heavier fabrics. But there are ways to make the transition so you do not just get to wear your summer clothes for a few weeks of the year. Instead of packing the clothes away as soon as Labor Day is over, here are a few ideas for keeping them out with the rest of your clothes and transitioning them to be useful for you in the fall as well.
* Tee shirts can still be worn on most days. If the weather is a little chilly, top with a cardigan or layer your tee over a long sleeved shirt.
* Dresses. If they are not too summery in terms of color or pattern, add a cardigan or pop a tee shirt underneath, or both.
* Shorts. Shorts with tights became the fashion several years ago, so provided they are not too summery or skimpy, you can continue to wear them into the fall. Capris can also work well to extend your wardrobe if they are not too summery in color or pattern.
* Summer shoes. Sandals may not be appropriate for very cold or wet fall days, but they are fine for an extended Indian summer. Just be sure to keep your pedicure up to date. Flats are perfect for wearing well into fall and work well with any outfit, from casual to formal, as long as they are not white.
* Summer accessories can still be used in the fall. Sunglasses can be used throughout the year. After all, just because its fall does not mean the sun isn't still shining, and you should always try to protect your eyes. A straw hat, bag and sunglasses work well with fall colors as long as they are not too summery. If your hat has a ribbon on it, you can always change it to something darker and more autumnal, for a whole new look.
* Mini skirts are a staple in the summer time, and can be carried over into fall with the addition of tights and high boots. The resulting fashion statement will show great fashion sense and will leave others wondering why they haven't tried it. Again, just avoid wearing white or any overly summery patterns.
* Accessories are a staple to any outfit in any season. Utilize scarves and darker purses with your summer wardrobe and the change will create a fresh, pleasing effect.
*Shawls and shrugs. These are handy for adding an extra layer and keeping the chill off. Adding one can create a whole new look to your tee shirt or top or your dresses.
Wearing your summer items for longer makes sure you will get more value of them and not feel you are going to be stuck in winter woolies for the next nine months until summer rolls around again.

Fees and cost always reduce the amount of return you're paid, for as long as you hold the investment.
Below, you can see the difference fees make to your total return. In this example, if you invested $10,000 over 15 years in an investment with a 6% return, you'd end up with an extra $1,794 by choosing the investment with lower fees.
You should only pay higher fees if you're confident you'll be persistently rewarded with returns high enough to make it more financially worthwhile than an investment with lower fees.
For example, if you were confident that by paying the higher 1.25% fee, you'd make a 7% return on your $10,000 investment, it would be worthwhile. This is because your return after fees would be higher than if you'd paid lower fees and achieved a 6% return.
High risk and high fees often come together. This is based on the assumption that whoever is making the investment is so skilled at managing the high risk, they persistently produce high returns regardless. This is quite an assumption to make. You need to be very comfortable the skill is present before you invest.
TIP: Fees are usually shown in percentages. Small percentage differences can mask how much impact fees have in actual dollar terms. Use an online calculator, or ask your provider to help you work out your potential net returns in dollars. For KiwiSaver, use Sorted's KiwiSaver fees calculator to find out how much you'll pay in fees over the life of your KiwiSaver investment.
The fees charged depend on the investment you choose. If you invest in KiwiSaver or other managed funds, there will be a fee to cover the cost of someone managing your investments on your behalf. You'd expect this to be more than if you invested directly, for example in shares or bonds. The types of fees you're likely to pay if you invest in KiwiSaver are:
Member fee – Covers the administration of your personal KiwiSaver account. It's usually deducted monthly.
Administration fee – Contributes to the administration of the scheme as a whole.
Supervisor or trustee fee – Pays the supervisor or trustee for overseeing all funds offered by the scheme and for holding the fund's assets.
Management fee – Pays the fund manager who decides how each fund is invested. This fee is different for each fund as some funds need more management than others. It's calculated as a percentage of the fund's net assets.
Performance-based fee – a bonus paid to the fund manager for achieving a return that's better than the target return.
Other fees may be charged if you:
If you're using a financial adviser or broker, they may also charge you a fee for their services. Find out more on our paying for advice page.
We regularly monitor KiwiSaver provider fees to make sure they seem reasonable.
ACTION: Use Sorted's KiwiSaver fees calculator to work out what fees you're likely to be charged up to age 65, and to see how similar types of funds compare.
Most investments provide a product disclosure statement (PDS) explaining the fees you'll be charged. KiwiSaver schemes and other managed funds also publish a fund update at least once a year with latest fee information.

Police chief credits economy for crime drop
Published 6:00 am, Sunday, March 6, 2011
Crime in Plainview continues to decrease.
"I think one of the reasons for the lower marks is the economy has been good for our area," Plainview Police Chief William Mull said.
Calls for police services dropped to 14,403 in 2010, down 751 from 2009.
While service calls were down, police arrested more people last year with 1,381 adults arrested, up slightly from 1,348 the previous year.
Juvenile arrests, meanwhile, went down for the second year in a row to 212. In 2009 the number was 258.
Nine-hundred and eight municipal warrants were served last year, up from 835, while 622 other warrants were served, up from 607.
Police issued 3,377 citations in 2010, up from 2,287 in 2009.
The number of reported major crimes - including murder, sexual assault, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, theft and auto theft - was 1,006, compared to 1,175 in 2009. As for miscellaneous offenses, those also were down, from 1,498 in 2009 to 1,278 last year.
Plainview reported one murder in 2010. Carlsbad, N.M., bounty hunter Jarrod Flaming was sentenced to 15 years in November for the death of 31-year-old Derreck Graves in February.
The number of sexual assaults reported remained the same at 18, as did robberies at 14. Aggravated assaults dropped slightly from 56 to 44.
Burglaries, thefts and vehicle thefts all had noticeable drops.
Burglaries fell from 273 to 199, thefts dropped from 616 to 583 and vehicle thefts went from 38 to 25.
Mull attributed the drops to property owners tightening security measures around their property.
"The better you take care of your property, the less you lose," he said.
Also, two case of arson were reported last year after none in 2009.
Across the department, 33 percent of major crimes were cleared, while 73 percent of miscellaneous offenses were cleared.
The criminal investigation division was assigned 1,313 cases and earned an overall clearance rate of 90 percent, which was up from 89 percent in 2008 and '09. Seventy-nine percent of major crimes and 96 percent of miscellaneous offenses were cleared.
"Some crimes are just unsolvable," Mull said about what keeps the department from clearing 100 percent of the cases. "If you leave your purse in an unlocked car and someone takes it and leaves zero clues, it's hard to solve. But it still counts as a theft."
Average response time went up to 3.92 minutes, while average time spent on a call decreased from 24.03 minutes to 23.78.
"Our guys work hard every year, and the longer they stay (on the force) the more proficient they get," Mull said. "We have a fairly experienced department."
Another noticeable drop was in community policing actions which fell dramatically from 811 hours in 2009 to just 146 hours last year.
Mull said that the decrease likely was because of the disbanding of the Blue Eyes organization, which was phased out because of the lack of involvement by its members due to failing health and various other reasons.
"We're looking for another program to introduce," he said.
Also in 2010, there were 667 traffic accidents, up 10 from 2009. A total of 130 injuries were reported, which was down from 166 in 2009.
Four fatal accidents were reported last year, with three involving motorcycles - Luis Hernandez, 22, of Plainview on May 23, Shane Wyatt Lee, 42, of Plainview on Aug. 19 and Ruben Ramos, 38, of Lockney on June 5. The fourth fatality was Geraldine Mote, 83, of Plainview.
Of the four fatalities one was reported to involve alcohol. According to the police report, Ramos had drugs and alcohol in his system at the time of his accident, with police listing those as contributing factors.
As for the Hale County Sheriff's Office, officials reported a total of 6,472 calls for 2010, which was a slight increase from 6,417 in 2009. Of the calls, 2,192 incident reports were opened, while 1,683 warrants were opened with 1,372 being closed.
In the investigation division, 174 cases were investigated with 311 cases cleared.
Meanwhile, a total of 3,635 prisoners were booked into the Hale County jail, with 3,631 released. The average daily jail population was 151.
The Plainview/Hale County Crime Stoppers also reported a successful year.
Eighty calls were received and led to the arrest of 38 people and 51 offenses cleared. Police seized $8,500 in stolen property and $39,800 of narcotics as a result of Crime Stoppers tips.
Crime Stoppers paid a total of $11,150 in reward money.

You have to remember that the presets ignore the knob settings until you change it. In other words, when you select the Clean channel, there is echo dialed in to the preset. Just grab the delay knob and spin it to the off position. If it's already there, spin it and put it back. If you don't want that as part of your preset, once you've got the sound you want, press and hold the Clean (or whichever preset you are setting) for a few seconds. This will store the settings you chose into the preset.
And as far as the loudness of the Metal preset, turn the Master Volume all the way down before selecting it. Then barely tweak the Master Volume up. I can get a great tone with apartment-appropriate volume out of this thing...
Hope this helps. I'm a new Spider IV 15 owner too... Loving it.

Beppe Sannino has posted a message of thanks to Hornets' fans through his official Facebook page, promising to carry Watford supporters "forever" in his heart after being made to feel like "one of the family".
The 57-year-old resigned on Sunday evening, 24 hours after the Hornets beat Huddersfield Town 4-2 at Vicarage Road in his final match in charge.
Sannino left his post after eight-and-a-half months in charge at Vicarage Road, sharing a message with Watford supporters on his Facebook page.
"I would like to say thanks to the amazing supporters that have helped me to live a beautiful and incredible experience.
"Every single time I have been inside the Vicarage Road, it has been like living a dream, you have always made me feel one of you, inside but also outside of the stadium, in the streets of the city, I have never felt as a guest, but contrarily, one of the family.
"I will carry you forever in my heart and I will never forget you. I wish you the best. A greeting.
"Coach Beppe Sannino."

This week's Wish You Were Here post comes from Andrew Couch of Grounded Traveler. Andrew left the US to pursue work in Germany, where he became an expat, living and doing as the Germans do. Be sure to check out Grounded Traveler, follow Andrew on Twitter and enjoy Freiburg, Germany through his eyes.
My newly adopted hometown of Freiburg is a university city nestled against the Black Forest near both the French and Swiss borders in the south west of Germany. They say it is the warmest and sunniest corner of Germany, which makes for wonderful times sitting outside with a beer, watching students wander by.
This town has been the site of a market for nearly a thousand years. There is a still very active farmers market that sets up in the cathedral square 6 days a week to sell any kind of local produce. Freiburg is proud of its green movement and organic foods are proudly presented to the crowds here. Don't worry, there are also sausage stands for those with more meat inclined tastes.
Towers that used to be the gates to the city border the center of town. This one visible from the center of town, Martin's Gate, is now home to a Mc Donald's. It isn't just tourists there. That place is packed with students every time I go by.
Freiburg sits astride the Höllental, Hell's Valley, that extends up into the Black Forest. The town at the mouth of the actual pass is called Himmelreich, Heaven. In the summer warm winds called Höllentäler blow down from the valley into town in the evening. Having the forest literally on our doorstep gives a nice place to escape from with only an hour's train ride.

Embarrassed. That is the only word I can think of that describes how I feel about Thursday nights' Sound Tigers loss to the Whale. It has little to do with the way the team played or the outcome of the game. It has nothing to do with the embarrassment I felt for the singer of our National Anthem who forgot the words. It has everything to do with the small crowd in attendance. I can only recall one time I felt that totally embarrassed.
After years of living in the same house, I had just moved into a one-bedroom condo on the first floor of a well-lit building in Bridgeport. Prior to that, my normal routine for nocturnal emissions was, rise from bed, take a left, another left, quick right and close the door behind me. In my new environs this familiar routine left me buck-naked in the hallway where looking to my right I could see the entrance to St. Ambrose Church. I was able to escape my embarrassment; the Sound Tigers were not as fortunate.
Naked and under the bright lights they took the ice after bringing home the division title. A tremendous effort by the team had brought them from worst to first and they were greeted by a handful of 'fans' who only offered a brief roar from section 103 after winning free passes to a local bowling alley. Not the playoff hockey atmosphere I had expected or promised friends, nor was it what the team deserved, but it was typical of the support teams in our state are given.
To be honest, Thursday night's contest was a difficult one to watch. The first two periods were dominated by the defensemen from both teams. Neither team could create space, passing lanes were blocked and momentum was denied on every shift. It promised to be a long night.
When Bridgeport had its 'muckers' in place to plant a rebound, none came. When a rebound did come, it landed on the stick of an opponent and was quickly cleared from harms way. When a scoring opportunity presented itself, goalies Kevin Poulin (BPT) or Cam Talbot (HAR) denied access. When the Sound Tigers latest import from Sweden, left-winger John Persson, poked one home for an apparent 1-0 Bridgeport lead, it was waived off by referee Mark Lemelin because he was 'thinking about blowing the whistle.' -WHAT?
A couple of lapses on defense led to Hartford goals, and an impressive outing by their goalie (42 saves) led to a 3-0 shut out loss for the Tigers. Bridgeport was going to lose a game in this best of five series and may lose one more. Hartford will have losses as well (hopefully three) as this series is destined to go the distance.
I understand that losing a game is part of the process of moving forward. I also understand that there are reasons that people could not attend Thursday's game. Perhaps you were broke after paying your taxes or totally exhausted from competing in the Boston marathon. Many will not be able to attend on Saturday for good reason as well, it is after all opening day of trout season and there is that must see episode of 'Doing Something With Stars'.
If you have no such legitimate excuse, do yourself a favor and come to The Webster Bank Arena. I cannot promise a win for the Sound Tigers but I will promise an evening of entertainment you are sure to enjoy.

Dealer Selection Receive your free dealer pricing information by completing your contact information! Sexy. Playful. Young. Emotional. Not adjectives normally associated with a Volvo. Safe? Conservative? Now those fit the bill. After all, for the past 80 years Volvo has fortified an iron standing of producing cars that are as secure as bank vaults. After eight decades of playing it safe, though, Volvo is ready to let loose. Say hello to the all-new C30 hatchback, the wild child of the Volvo family. Due out next summer, the C30 is a far cry from the typical Volvo. Not only will it be downright affordable–around $23,000 to start–but with four bucket seats, it's intended more for hauling ass than the family.According to chief designer Simon Lamarre, "The C30 isn't for people with kids. It's a different kind of a Volvo for a different kind of customer." In other words, the C30 isn't meant to be an A-to-B appliance for the Smiths or Joneses, but rather a Gen-Y plaything for Junior. In order to attract young, fickle customers, Volvo has injected the C30 with shots of style and speed. While its front end closely resembles those of the S40 and V50 with which it shares Ford's C1 platform, its sloping rear end looks avant-garde, bearing a shape unique to modern Volvos.We say modern because the C30's bodacious butt does harken back to that of the P1800ES, a cult-classic wagonette from the early 1970s, not to mention the posterior of the Safety Concept Car from the 2001 Detroit auto show, a showpiece that served as inspiration for the C30. "With the C30, we wanted to recapture the emotion of the SCC," says Lamarre, "so that meant integrating the signature glass hatch and the broad shoulders." With those two cues intact, as well as a length of 167.4 inches (8.5 inches shorter than an S40) and a wheelbase of 103.9 inches (identical to the S40's), the C30 sports short overhangs and an aggressive, fast-forward stance that arguably appears more assertive than the Volkswagen GTI's.We mention the GTI because it'll be the C30's stiffest competition in the U.S. Wearing a similar price tag ($22,730), the GTI also features a similar spec sheet, which includes a 200-horsepower turbocharged engine, a six-speed manual, a sport suspension, and available 18-inch wheels. To combat the VW, the C30 utilizes the S40 T5's powertrain–a 2.5-liter, 218-horsepower turbocharged inline-five and a six-speed manual (a five-speed automatic will be optional)–and front MacPherson strut/rear multilink suspension, which has been firmed up with stiffer springs and dampers.Other than an occasional jar from the suspension of our test car, which had the sport suspension and 18-inch alloys, the C30 felt nearly perfect for its intended segment. Volvo assures us the C30 would be tuned softer for the U.S.Project leader Hakan Abrahamsson says his goal for the C30's chassis was to "make it firmer, sharper, sportier, and flatter" than the S40's. With help from chassis tuner Dick Gabrielsson –the grandson of Volvo cofounder Assar Gabrielsson (did anyone say heritage?)– Abrahamsson managed to hit every one of his goals. The C30 is the sharpest tool in Volvo's shed. While still not as engaging as the more tactile GTI, the Volvo C30 is nonetheless as entertaining in a straight line. With 18 additional horses and 29 more pound-feet of torque, the latter realized at 1500 rpm, the C30 is capable of 0 to 60 mph in a Look at me, Ma! 6.2 seconds, according to Volvo, placing it just ahead of the 6.3-second GTI.The quarter mile? Figure under 15 seconds at around 95 mph–again right there with the Volkswagen's 14.7 at 94.8. While the C30 could use a raspier exhaust note–our tester's was virtually silent–it doesn't suffer from turbo lag, balky shifter, or flimsy structure. In fact, the duration from throttle tip-in to full boost takes about as much time as querying, "Turbo lag?" The shifter is fluid, if a tad rubbery, and the structure, according to Abrahamsson, is stiffer than the S40's.Inside, the C30 coddles with an S40-esque cockpit adorned with Volvo's now ubiquitous T-Tec upholstery and floating center console, familiar effects that mesh nicely with the leather-wrapped sport steering wheel and shift knob. The rear bucket seats, inboard from the fronts due to the arcing shoulder lines that swoop inward, provide commendable room and comfort for six-footers. Cargo room (a paltry 8.2 cubic feet with the seats up) isn't as laudable, however. But fold the seats flat as Volvo expects many childless C30 owners to do, and it expands to 30.9 cubes.Lest you thought we'd forget to mention safety, the C30 is, after all, a Volvo. In addition to the standard bevy of front, side, and side-curtain airbags, the C30 protects with seatbelt pretensioners for all four seats, a whiplash protection system, a side-impact protection system, and dynamic stability traction control. Abrahamsson says that in crash tests, "the C30 performs as well as the S40," a vehicle Volvo touts as being as safe as its large sedans.Volvo hopes to sell roughly 10,000 C30s a year in the U.S. Based on our drive in Sweden, we'd guess they're being modest. In fact, it's safe to say demand will be high. 2008 Volvo C30 Base price $23,000 (MT est) Vehicle layout Front engine, FWD, 4-pass, 2-door hatchback Engine 2.5L/218-hp/236-lb-ft turbocharged DOHC 20-valve I-5 Transmission 6-speed manual Curb weight 2900 lb (mfr est) Wheelbase 103.9 in Length x width x height 167.4 x 70.1 x 57.0 in 0-60 mph 6.2 sec (mfr est) EPA city/hwy fuel econ 22/30 mpg (MT est) On sale in U.S. Summer 2007 Share this article Facebook Twitter Google Plus Email First Drive: 2008 Volvo C30 /7 Advertisement to Skip 1 | 7 2 | 7 3 | 7 4 | 7 5 | 7 6 | 7 7 | 7

A fairly common assertion offered by atheists, freethinkers, agnostics and the like is that Americans are becoming less religious.
Some of them base this conclusion on polls showing a growing number of people who say they have no religious affiliation. They are the "nones," people who, when asked their religion, choose "none of the above."
For instance, the most recent survey of the U.S. religious landscape by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public LIfe, said 16.1 percent of Americans say they are unafiliated. (Which, by the way, doesn't mean they are hard-line atheists.)
Well, for sure the religious landscape in this country is changing, but the other day I was reading The New Christians: Dispatches from the Emergent Frontier, by Tony Jones, one of the gurus of the Emergent Church Movement, and Tony has a bit of pushback on this that I think is worth hearing. (On Twitter, Tony is at www.twitter.com/jonestony, while I'm at www.twitter.com/BillTammeus.)
"We are not becoming less religious, as some people argue," he writes. "We are becoming differently religious. And the shift is significant. . .
"As the second half of the twentieth century began, most sociologists, social theorists and social philosophers were proclaming that the death of religion was nigh. They were bards of an impending secularism that was lapping onto the shores of all Western countries. We are losing our religion, they calmly -- and often approvingly -- lectured from behind their podia.
"We're leaving the myths of this god and that god behind and establishing a new spirituality that is unhinged from the oppressive regimes of conventional religion. New Ageism is a nod in this direction: as we mature intellectually and scientifically, we'll realize that traditional religions are holding us back. We'll achieve our liberation by relying less on the strictures of religions and moving into the promising horizon of 'spirituality.'. . .
"But a funny thing happened on the way to the twenty-first century: we became more religious, not less. Fundamentalisms now thrive in all major religions, churches and religious schools keep popping up and religious books outsell all other categories. Nowadays you can't find a self-respecting social theorist proclaiming secularism. Instead, they're studying religion and getting face time on CNN explaining to often oblivious journalists how religious Americans really are.
"Back in the pulpits, ironically, pastors continue to bewail that we're living through the decline and fall of the Judeo-Christian American empire, that secularism is a fast-moving glacier, razing mountains of faith that have been part of America since its birth. But the data just don't back up this interpretation."
Well, no doubt statistics from other sources can be cited to counter Tony's view, but when I was asked recently by a member of the audience at a church where I was speaking whether I thought religion would die out ever or any time soon, I quickly said no. There are lots of reasons for this -- good reasons, too. But, nonetheless, the religious landscape here and in other countries will continue to evolve, and those changes shouldn't surprise any of us.

As Pope Benedict XVI prepares his important visit to the main synagogue in Rome, lots of dynamics are at work, this report correctly notes. As the writer points out, Jews have been in Rome longer than there's been a Christianity, and their relationship to the Vatican over the centuries has been dicey at best at times. The book to read (it's from 1974 but still full of good history) is Sam Waagenaar's The Pope's Jews.

P.S.: Under the "Check this out" headline on the right side of this page you will find, among other things, a description of how to leave comments on this blog. But a reminder: No more that five posts a day, none of which should be more than 300 words long. In recent days some commenters have tried to post more than that and some have tried to post longer than that. Thanks. Bill.

Canada finishes second at women's soccer event
Canada's head coach John Herdman reacts during the women's bronze medal soccer match at the 2012 London Summer Olympics in Coventry, England on Thursday, Aug. 9, 2012. (AP Photo/Hussein Malla)

Published Wednesday, January 16, 2013 10:48AM EST
Last Updated Wednesday, January 16, 2013 1:26PM EST
YONGCHUAN, China -- Canada's new-look women's soccer team played Norway to a scoreless draw Wednesday to finish second at the Four Nations tournament.
Norway won the round-robin event -- finishing three points ahead of the Canadians -- who debuted seven new players and were missing star striker Christine Sinclair.
"The players competed well physically against a very strong Norwegian side -- and we matched them," said Canadian coach John Herdman. "We had the better passages of play but they probably had the better chances from direct play and set pieces."
Sinclair is serving a four-game suspension for an incident following Canada's overtime loss to the United States in the Olympic semifinals.
The Canadians opened the tournament with a 1-0 victory over the host side before dropping a 3-1 decision to South Korea in their second game.
Herdman has said there would be some unfavourable results ahead as he integrates young players into the team ahead of the 2015 World Cup and 2016 Rio Olympics.
"All credit has to go to the young players, this tournament has been a good start for Canada, but there is still a long way to go," he said.
Sixty per cent of his team from the London Olympics will be over the age of 30 by 2015 when Canada hosts the World Cup, and Herdman has said it's crucial to start investing in the young players coming up.
The Canadians will next be in action at the March 4-13 Cyprus Cup.

Forest Landscapes and Global Change: New Frontiers in Management, Conservation and Restoration
February 16th, 2010
The CIMO Mountain Research Center and the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança, Portugal will hold a IUFRO Landscape Ecology Working Group International Conference "Forest Landscapes and Global Change: New Frontiers in Management, Conservation and Restoration" from 21 to 27 September 2010 in Bragança, Portugal.
Ongoing changes driven by environmental, technological, political, economic and social factors produce additional challenges for forest landscape ecologists and managers by creating new and multiple contexts for their activities. Climate change, urban sprawl, agriculture abandonment, intensification of forestry and agriculture, changes in energy generation and use, expanding infrastructure networks, increased habitat destruction and degradation and other processes of change occur at faster rates.
These processes affect structure, disturbance regimes, productivity, carbon sequestration, and biodiversity in forest ecosystems and landscapes at increasing rates. Rapidly changing landscapes therefore expand the frontiers of the current and future activity of scientists and managers.
This IUFRO Landscape Ecology international conference aims to bring together scientists, planners, and managers in order to share science and experiences on approaches, methods and tools to assess change, to forecast change in structures and processes, and to optimize goods and services provided at multiscale-multifunctional levels under a context of change. The deadline to submit abstracts is 22 February 2010.

Campaign for Working Families Chairman Gary Bauer today endorsed Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman in the special election for New York's 23 Congressional District, noting that the Democratic and Republican candidates for the seat offered "no real difference, no needed change."
Bauer, a former presidential candidate and now chairman of one of America's leading pro-family political action committees, the Campaign for Working Families, issued the following statement:
"Today, I am proud to endorse Doug Hoffman for Congress. The decision to do so was made after considerable contemplation, but in the end it was an easy decision to make. Simply put Doug Hoffman is THE CONSERVATIVE candidate for Congress.
"I had the privilege of working all eight years in Ronald Reagan's administration. The American people rallied to Reagan's conservative vision of lower taxes, less government, respect for traditional values and a strong national defense. Reagan inspired the American people with his message that the Republican Party was carrying the 'banner of bold colors, with no pale pastel shades.'
"That is exactly what the special election in New York's 23rd Congressional District is all about. Today the American people are reeling from politics as usual, big government takeovers, out-of-control spending, higher taxes and liberal corruption. Unfortunately, the two main political parties have chosen nearly identical candidates, virtually indistinguishable on key issues. But Washington is not lacking for liberal politicians. What is in short supply on Capitol Hill these days is commonsense conservative values.
"Fortunately, the voters of the 23rd District will have a choice in the special election on November 3rd because Doug Hoffman is carrying the conservative banner of bold colors and big ideas. I applaud this courageous conservative for not backing down to the party bosses and for fighting for his beliefs.
"When elected to Congress, Doug Hoffman won't blend in with Nancy Pelosi's liberal Democrats. As veteran and successful small businessman, Doug Hoffman will stand out as a bold conservative voice for the values that matter most, and that is why I am proud to stand with him today."
Statement from Hoffman:
Doug Hoffman said: 'I am proud to receive the endorsement of Gary Bauer. His posts in the Reagan Administration, his campaign for President and his work today as Chairman of the Campaign for Working Families (CWF) have all proven his credentials as a Republican and a conservative.
"Gary Bauer and I both share a great admiration for Ronald Reagan and his vision of lower taxes, less government, a strong national defense and the traditional family values that have made America great. When I'm elected to Congress, I will fight for those beliefs and I will stand with Gary Bauer and the Campaign for Working Families as they work to achieve them."
