The Miami Dolphins were hurting. Owner Wayne Huizenga had piled up $350 million in debt, thanks mostly to an uncompleted stadium makeover. Season ticket holders--61,000 in 2006, down to 47,000 in 2008--were getting as scarce as Dolphin wins. In 2007 the team was on its way to a humiliating 1-15 record.
Huizenga was looking to sell the team he'd bought in 1994 for $138 million. How to fix the franchise? Not by bringing in a finance sharpie (the team later lured then Chief Operating Officer Mike Dee away from the Boston Red Sox to run the business). Instead he hired Bill Parcells, the prickly former Dallas Cowboys coach, in December 2007, to take control of the front office. Says Salvatore Galatioto, president of Galatioto Sports Partners, which helps broker and finance the sales of teams: "Parcells gives the team a profile and a personality."
He also makes it worth more. You know the Bill Parcells who turned basket cases in New York (the Giants and the Jets), New England and Dallas into playoff teams. You may not know Bill Parcells the value creator--a record $300 million in incremental value to the last three teams he has coached. Together the Patriots, Jets and Cowboys gained $1 billion in value over the years he coached them, compared with the $700 million they would have gained if their appreciation had merely tracked that of the whole league. In most cases he pulled it off without new, revenue-driving stadiums that have strapped other teams, like the Redskins and Lions, with huge debt. "I think it's coincidence," says Parcells, 68, in his second year running the Dolphins. "I came along at a time when values were on the upswing."
Only partly true. Parcells, as he says, is in the "talent accumulation business." That means taking a gruff, often confrontational approach with players to squeeze out their best. "If you want to get the most out of people, you have to apply pressure--that's the only thing that any of us really responds to," he wrote in a 2000 story for the Harvard Business Review, sounding like a tin-pot dictator.
Parcells has had his share of skirmishes with owners, too, most notably, perhaps, with Robert Kraft, who paid $172 million for the Patriots in 1994. During the 1996 draft, Kraft vetoed Parcells' efforts to nab a defensive player with the team's first pick. Parcells left in a huff after the season. Kraft says he is "forever grateful" to Parcells for "bringing the franchise credibility." But, he says, he was afraid of turning over control to a coach who wouldn't make a long-term commitment to the Pats. "I was not going to let him spend our money and then leave, and have it all blow up," says Kraft. Parcells' retort is the stuff of NFL legend: "If they want you to cook the dinner, at least they ought to let you shop for some of the groceries."
In Miami Parcells was finally given that power, power that almost everywhere else belongs to the owner or the general manager. "He will oversee anything that has to do with football, directly or indirectly," Huizenga said at the time. He also gave Parcells a reported $16 million four-year deal that let the head coach pocket the full amount any time during the length of the contract if Huizenga sold the team--which he did earlier this year to real estate developer Stephen Ross for $1.1 billion. Parcells fired general manager Randy Mueller and head coach Cam Cameron, replacing them with Dallas veterans he'd worked with, Jeff Ireland and Tony Sparano.
That's typical management style for Parcells: tough one moment, tender the next. He's extremely loyal to players and coaches he knows and trusts. Among the crowd of "Parcells Guys" who've followed the head coach from one team to another: running backs Dave Meggett (Giants to Patriots) and Curtis Martin (Patriots to Jets), coaches Bill Belichick and Romeo Crennel (Giants to Patriots to Jets) and linebacker Pepper Johnson (Giants to Jets).
Parcells doesn't easily forgive mistakes or weaknesses. While coaching the Giants, he often berated quarterback Phil Simms, who played erratically his first few years, and failed to give him credit when the team won. After New England wide receiver Terry Glenn got injured, Parcells quipped, "She's doing fine." Yet Parcells would take barbs from Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor, a.k.a. l.T., whose extraordinary talents he saw right off. Simms and Taylor became All-Pros and led the Giants to their first Super Bowl victory in 1986. While coaching the Jets, Parcells wanted to bring in linebacker Bryan Cox, a fiery player but one of the NFL's bad boys, who regularly got into trouble with the league for fighting with players and spitting at and flipping off fans. Yet Parcells knew he was talented and had a phone call with Cox when each boiled down what they wanted from each other: "Don't bs me." Cox went on to become a team leader. Former Giants linebacker Harry Carson, another mainstay of that Super Bowl team, says of Parcells, "He's an expert at changing the attitude not just of a player but of a franchise."
Special Offer: Free Trial Issue of Forbes
Parcells made his name in the 1980s with the Giants. There he led a club with four winning seasons over the previous 20 years to a 77-49-1 record and a pair of Super Bowl titles between 1983 and 1990. The Giants' appearances on nationally televised Monday Night Football shot up. So did the team's status as an elite franchise after owner Tim Mara and his family sold their 50% stake to Preston Robert Tisch for $75 million in 1991, giving the Giants a value on a par with the Dallas Cowboys, the NFL's leading brand. Galatioto says that Parcells had a "huge impact" on the purchase price. Parcells became the rescue man for teams in trouble.
In 1993, three years after leaving the Giants (and ostensibly retiring), Parcells was lured to New England by then owner James Orthwein. The Patriots had the league's worst record at 2-14 and lowest value at $102 million. Parcells developed young stars like quarterback Drew Bledsoe, linebacker Willie McGinest and cornerback Ty Law. By his fourth season Parcells had his team in the Super Bowl, where the Pats lost to the Packers, 35-21.
Still, during Parcells' four-year tenure the Patriots were impressive enough on the field to boost ticket prices 28%, to $34 on average, according to Team Marketing Report, a Northbrook, Ill. newsletter. Revenues surged from a last-in-the-league $47 million to $79 million, and the value of the team jumped to $197 million, a 93% gain (versus 59% for the average team during that span). Parcells quit after his spat with Kraft.
Parcells' next reclamation project was the New York Jets, an NFL worst 1-15 in 1996, the year before Parcells was hired. The Jets attracted only 50,000 fans per game in 1996 and were badly overshadowed by the Giants, who drew 20,000 more fans each time they played. In Parcells' second season with the Jets the team won 12 games and reached the afc Conference Championship game. Again, success helped stoke revenues. Attendance averaged 78,000 during Parcells' last season in 2000, on a par with the Giants. Despite playing in an antiquated stadium, the Jets doubled ticket prices during Parcells' four-year stay. During that time the value of the team rose 127% to $423 million, which matched the NFL average appreciation rate--impressive, given that six teams opened new stadiums during the period.
Another retirement, another rehab--in Dallas. America's Team had compiled a 5-11 record for three straight seasons before he got there in 2003. If fans expected a showdown between Parcells and hands-on Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, they were chagrined. The action was on the field, as Dallas--with a bang-up defense--won ten games that year. Parcells became the first coach to lead four different teams to the playoffs. Money cascaded in, too:
At his age Parcells doesn't need the work or the money (he has earned an estimated $40 million from the NFL over the past 26 years; tv work adds, maybe, another $1 million). He gets no kicks from endorsements; he once said he'd "rather get doused by Gatorade than bust my butt selling it." A racehorse owner, Parcells splits his time between homes in Jupiter, Fla. and Saratoga Springs, N.Y., near the racetrack he loves to frequent. The biggest thing he has learned in that flesh trade: "Horses eat the same amount whether they're fast or not."
Still, he has three years left on his contract with Miami. New Dolphins owner Ross has glammed up the franchise by attracting celebrities like Gloria Estefan, Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony and tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams as minority owners. He also reached a deal with Jimmy Buffett to rename Dolphin Stadium Land Shark Stadium, after a beer in which Buffett has an investment. Super Bowl or not, the Dolphins could prove Parcells' masterpiece. Already he has taken the fish from laughingstocks in 2007 to 11-5 division champions in 2008. Is Miami his finale? "I still love the game, but I don't think I'll be doing this much longer," Parcells says. We've heard that before.

Naaaaw, really?
Say no more, no?
Silver looks to be giving us another opportunity here. The miners are not taking too much of a hit here, so you may want to give the stronger stories more of a look, or you may want to take advantage of the actual pullback in fizzical silver itself by jumping on SLV right now in the form of long term options, the farther the better. Let's say January 2014 or 2015's LEAPs which have pulled back nicely here for my benefit and yours. Accumulate slowly here, because eventually you will wish you had been quicker.
Things are going well, and I appreciate my market meandering here a bit.
Best to you all.

Why Boeing's dream plane is causing headaches
NEW YORK (AP) -- Boeing's Dreamliner has had a nightmare of a week, capped off Friday with a decision by the Federal Aviation Administration to review everything from the design to manufacturing of the new airplane.
Government officials were quick to say that the plane is safe -- nearly 50 of them are in the skies now. However, a fire Monday and subsequent spate of technical problems raised enough questions to prompt this highly unusual review. None of the airlines using the 787, nicknamed by Boeing the Dreamliner, have plans to stop flying it during the government's inquiry.
The technologically advanced plane was delayed for more than three years. Boeing delivered the first one in late 2011. The company is ramping up production to build 10 787s per month in Washington state and South Carolina by the end of the year.
The Dreamliner promises passengers a more comfortable travel experience. For the airlines, the plane's fuel-efficiency allows them to economically connect secondary cities.
Below are questions and answers about the 787 and the issues that led to the FAA's action Friday.
Q: Why is the FAA reviewing the 787?
A: The battery pack on a Japan Airlines 787 ignited Monday shortly after the flight landed at Boston's Logan International Airport. Passengers had already left the plane but it took firefighters 40 minutes to put out the blaze. There were separate issues on other planes this week -- fuel and oil leaks, a cracked cockpit window and a computer glitch that erroneously indicated a brake problem.
Q: Is the plane safe?
A: "I believe this plane is safe and I would have absolutely no reservations about boarding one of these planes and taking a flight," Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said Friday. Boeing insists that the 787's problems are no worse than what it experienced when its 777 was new in the mid-1990s. That plane is now one of its top-sellers and is well-liked by airlines.
Q: What's different about the 787?
A: Half of the 787 is made from carbon fiber composites which are lighter but stronger than the aluminum used in traditional planes. That means the plane burns less fuel, a big selling point because fuel is an airline's biggest expense. The extra strength allows for larger windows and a more comfortable cabin pressure. Composites don't rust like aluminum, so the humidity in the cabin humidity can be up to 16 percent, double a typical aircraft. That means fewer dry throats and stuffy noses.
Q: Does any other plane use composites?
A: Composites are used in smaller amounts on most modern planes. Rival plane maker Airbus is designing its own lightweight composite jet, the A350, but that jet is still several years away from flying.
Q: How many 787s are there?
A: Boeing has delivered 50 planes so far. Another 798 are on order. The company plans to be building 10 each month by the end of this year.
Q: Who flies the 787?
A: Japan's All Nippon Airways is the largest operator of the plane. United is the first U.S. airline customer with six. Air India, Ethiopian Airlines, Japan Airlines, LAN Airlines, LOT Polish Airlines and Qatar Airways also fly the plane.
AP writers Joshua Freed in Minneapolis and Joan Lowy in Washington contributed to this report.

Wouldn't you?
People reports that Ginnifer Goodwin and Chris Klein are over. Like…do you blame her? Wouldn't you? She's cute! And him? Well…
Look at him. Look at what he's become. Like I said at the time these images were originally posted – oh revolting Travolta!
And he's a loser douche. Which is much worse than just a douche. Because a douche like Justin Timberlake, at the very least, is successful and popular.
A loser douche like Chris Klein, with no personality and an attitude problem, is neither successful nor popular. Quite the opposite. Remember, he was dumped for the Gay Midget Dwarf.
Dude…how hurting are you?
And now he's perfect for Tara Reid.

Here is one of my favorite tutorials I have drawn today. It is a lesson that will show you "how to draw Altair easy", step by step. If you have ever played Assassins Creed, you should know exactly who Altair is. I have done some previous works in the past on the video game mercenary, and because I love him so much, I thought that other people would appreciate a lesson on Altair in a much easier to follow fashion. Assassins Creed is one of my favorite video games of all time, and so is Altair's character. I choose to draw him in his most popular pose which is from the back with him looking over his shoulder. His face is almost always covered in the game with his hooded cloak that he wears. I love how this drawing came out, and I think you guys will love drawing Altair easy. Let me get the other lessons submitted because I really want you guys to start having fun. I will be back in two shakes of a lambs tail so stick around people!

text: Share: January 4, 2009 Ecosystem Services, Wildlife & Habitat, Environmental Policy Like many, my wife and I experienced some interesting conversation over holiday dinner with relatives-politics, economy, and environment. While lingering over our meal, my sister announced, in no uncertain terms, that the seashore belongs to people. A frequenter of Cape Cod beaches, she is tired of encountering fenced off areas set aside for the endangered piping plover. In her view, children rule, whether frolicking in the waves or building sandcastles near nesting sites.I suppose the same logic could apply to those who believe that all freshwater lakes belong to families with jet skis. Never mind if these areas are also vital habitat for breeding loons. And why not open all forested areas to snow machines; since Robert Frost died, no one stops by the woods for solitude on a snowy evening.The reality is, in the face of our rising human population, a lack of protected areas for native species and for pristine ecosystems would result in the loss of many North American plants and animals. Already 13% of mammals, birds, and other vertebrates and 32% of invertebrates are imperiled in the United States. If we lose them, we lose an important part of our natural heritage and key components of the balance of nature. The Endangered Species Act of 1970 established that non-human species have rights too-the right to exist.As Rick Ostfeld mentioned in the last installment of this column, the Bush Administration is in the process of unraveling this important Act. They've already removed one of its most crucial measures: the need for independent scientific review when determining if federal projects threaten protected plants and animals. Starting this month, activities like highway building, logging, mining, and oil drilling can proceed on federal lands without input from the scientific community. This is a huge setback.Just as I wouldn't want a bunch of ecologists to design a bridge without the help of engineers, I wouldn't want a bunch of engineers to assess environmental impacts to our nation's natural areas without input from ecologists, conservation biologists, and other scientific professionals.The public overwhelmingly agrees with this sentiment. During the public comment period, 200,000 of the 235,000 comments received opposed the changes. We can only hope that current setbacks are righted when the Obama administration takes over. Unfortunately, undoing the damage will be slow at best and questionable projects will be pushed through during this window of opportunity.Species diversity matters. White-tailed deer were once kept in check by native wolves; now we depend on a dwindling number of hunters and the fenders of automobiles to take up the slack. In their appetite for insects, songbirds keep forest pests under control. When animal diversity plummets, humans living in suburban areas become more vulnerable to infection from things like Lyme disease and West Nile virus. Beneath your feet, several species of lowly denitrifying bacteria in a local wetland can cleanse the waters following through it and return harmless nitrogen gas to the atmosphere.Each human bite into nature, which removes a species or a natural area, leaves our planet impoverished of the free services that nature provides for the betterment of all life on Earth. Each bite may seem inconsequential-we might easily overlook the loss of piping plovers on our next beach trip. And often we see the impact of others as more harmful than our own. But all of us should realize that we are part of nature, not above it.Collectively, the rising human population and our consumption of what is natural leave our planet less able to cleanse the air and water upon which we all depend, to stabilize our climate, and to grow the food we eat, without expensive applications of energy and chemicals. When every beach has lost its piping plovers, is overrun with off-road vehicles, and littered with flotsam trash from ocean dumping, beaches will cease to have meaning to the human spirit of young and old.That is not the world I want to leave for future generations, nor is it a world that will ensure their survival.

As Fire Chief, it's certainly my privilege to introduce you to our department and explain the purpose of the Waterbury Fire Department (WFD) and the services we provide.
As with any modern fire department, our core mission is to protect the public from fire. Our core mission is accomplished using a team approach with allows all facets of fire safety, prevention and suppression to addressed.
Public Fire Safety Education is necessary to reduce instances of fire and fire related injury/death. The WFD provides public fire safety education to all school age children in a proactive effort to teach the hazards of fire and reduce burn injuries. In an effort to share our fire safety message with as many citizens as possible, public safety education is also provided to civic organizations, as well as at public events.
Fire Prevention is a priority of the WFD. If fire can be prevented, the public and firefighters will be safer. Fire prevention services are accomplished through the enforcement of building codes and life safety codes.
Fire Supression is a required service for every community. Firefighting occurs anytime a fire is ignited and grows beyond the capabilities of a citizen to control. Firefighting services are incredibly challenging and tremendously dangerous, and we stand ready to deliver this service by maintaining a firefighting force that is well-trained and exhibits bravery and professionalim each and every day.
The history of the fire service has evolved tremendously since the first fire department was formally organized in this country. The tradition of protecting and maintaining the city's tax base remains our responsibility. However, the modern fire service has reinvtented itself to include other services that enhance public safety and quality of life.
The WFD also provides these services:
We are a committed, modern fire department that prides itself on a well-trained workforce that stands ready to immediately respond, assist and aid the public in any way possible. Our services not only contribute to the safety of the public but also contribute to the stability of our city.
As you browse our web-site, I encourage you to learn all you can about the WFD. Each web-page contains information that details how each bureau works together as a team focused on delivering the highest level of firefighting and public safety services to the City of Waterbury.
If you have any questions or remarks, I'd like to hear from you. Thank you for visiting the Waterbury Fire Department!

Looming attacks will soon pop the security bubble enjoyed by Linux and Macintosh users, according to Russian security expert Eugene Kaspersky.
The co-founder of IT security company Kaspersky Labs said Linux and Mac users will be "easy targets" for hackers and malware writers over the next few years.
"Modern operating systems are flawed by design," Kaspersky said, "including OpenBSD".
"Mac and Linux are not as secure as [users] think; criminals pay no attention to them at the moment, but they will be vulnerable mdash; easy targets.
"The problem is that customers design the operating systems (either within open source communities or via market demand) and they choose flexibility over security."
The most secure operating systems such as Symbian 9 and 10 and mobile platform Brew have been pushed aside for their more functional counterparts, according to Kaspersky.
"Secure operating systems are unlikely to emerge in the foreseeable future," he added.
He said the Achilles' heel of flexible, popular operating systems is that they run unsigned applications.
"It takes a long time to get a certificates for applications, so secure operating systems have a limited set of applications and services," Kaspersky said.
According to Kaspersky, secure operating systems only attract about 1 to 3 percent of users because of their functionality limitations.
PureHacking senior security consultant Chris Gatford said the platforms will be increasingly targeted as more people migrate to them.
"It is lucky that to date BSD and Mac users haven't really been targeted yet because there are proof-of-concept malware around and a few in the wild," Gatford said.
"Users will always want to run whatever they want, whenever they want, regardless of security concerns."

text: Ordinary flash works on a direct circuit between batteries, bulb, and solenoid; that's why the batteries have to be at peak strength for efficient operation. B-C, on the other hand, works this way: A small 22.5 volt B battery (the kind they use in hearing aids) feeds power to a condenser which stores the power until you're ready to make the exposure. The circuit is so ingeniously wired that no current flows between battery and condenser until a flashbulb is inserted into the flashgun socket. Then the condenser begins to fill up (it takes no more than two seconds!) and you are ready to flash. Though the small B battery replaces the three large batteries normally used, it delivers fifteen times the voltage wallop of those regular 1.5-volt flashlight batteries. Long life (up to two years and thousands of shots) and consistent synchronization are among the advantages of this new power supply. You can buy either a complete B-C flashgun unit (such as the Busch, Kalart, Polaroid, Jen, Kodak, Standard) or you can buy B-C cartridges which, with a B battery, will convert your present gun to a B-C unit. Heiland, Kodak, and Linhof manufacture these inexpensive conversion cartridges. Almost all the new flash units are now made B-C."Harry

Damn that script-using epileptic_gina…scully, I did my best to bump up the bids, so that they'll have to pay more. Their stop threshold is somewhere just over 300k, it's so obvious they're planning to autosell it, instead of actually use it or put it back up in Kyoubai…
EDIT: Accidentally became highest bidder on a second pair of glbumes, so I couldn't bump up the other bids. I did manage to get each of them up at 215k, though and Log in to see images! 296,100 seems to be the cap for epileptic_gina. You should probably bump up the rest of the auctions on a rich alt, so she doesn't get anything.

The new hours for the town clerk/tax collector's office are in place with the office being open daily from 8:30 am until 4 pm with extended hours until 6:30 pm on Thursdays. Starting in September the office will also be open on the last Saturday of the month from 8 am until 12 noon.
It was reported that Federal Savings bank will provide the town with a second check scanner giving the town the ability to scan checks on site which will record at the bank which will cut down on traveling to the bank.
The board also discussed instituting credit cards for payments. Because of the partnership with Federal Savings, everything will be provided free of charge and there will be no contract. This means that, if after two months it is decided it is not working for the town, the service will be cancelled with no penalties. Federal Savings suggested a wireless kiosk be placed at the transfer station for easier transactions.
It was noted that PSNH has agreed to another $5,000 grant for the exit 17 and 18 charet which will be matched by Federal Savings Bank. The town will contribute $500 for good faith.
Selectman Bob bridges made the board aware that the town will have to come up with the full amount of the cost of the Townhouse Bridge replacement which would then be reimbursed 20 percent by the State. There was some discussion regarding people jumping from the bridge into the water and the board would like some conversation with the town of Lebanon and the State of Maine with regard to placing fencing to prevent this activity.
Selectman Bob Srnec stated that he has taken offense to Selectman Tom Gray signing as the chairman of the board of selectmen on Facebook under the Town of Milton site and feels that by signing as chairman of the board of selectmen it encompasses all of the board members even though items have not been discussed. Gray clarified that what he wrote was, "if anyone would like to further discuss this issue, please send me a private message and I will send you my phone number so that we can have a conversation regarding this. Thank you all for your input in regard to this sensitive matter. Sincerely Tom Gray BOS Chairman".
Gray made the other BOS members aware that the only reason he signed as chairman was a form of identification so that people would know who he was, he added that he did not make any decision of or for the board. He stated that he understands the concern and will refrain from signing this way in the future.
There was some discussion regarding the lack of a notary in the office. It was noted that applications are being processed and Robbie Parsons stated that his wife has offered to notarize as needed.

Trustees of the Trust Fund News; Trustees, Lisa Stewart, Marion Trafton and Karen Brown were present at the recent meeting. Also present was Fire Chief, Nick Marique.
The first order of business was disbursement from the Carl Siemon Scholarship Fund for Fall tuition bills. A sum of $1,000 each was agreed upon for recipients, Devon Locke to Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Maurisa Hale to State University of New York and Brittany Boyer to Colby-Sawyer College.
Fire Chief Marique presented architectural consulting services vouchers for the proposed fire station. The trustees authorized payment of $3,200 to Harriman Architects and Engineers.
Chairman Stewart reported that she had an email from Matthew Angelll who was hired by the selectmen to issue an opinion of the principal value of the Ira S. Knox Fund (Durgin Fund). Specifically, Angell submitted four questions regarding the Trustees' analysis of the principle of the Fund. It was noted that the Trustees have endeavored to estimate the value of the principal of the Fund based solely on the town's annual reports. Selectmen to date have not provided the Trustees with access to the records of the Fund as requested under the right to know law. The subcommittee on the Fund will respond to Angell questions pertaining to the valuation of the principal of the Fund.
Jumping from Townhouse Bridge worries selectmen

Brazil 2012 Fieldwork Diary Entry 5: Ex Libro Lapidum, Historia Mundi
Roger Smith and Christian Kammerer study rocks in the Pedra de Fogo Formation in the Parnaíba Basin, Brazil. Photo by Ken Angielczyk.
The latin phrase that's the title of this entry means "from the book of rocks, the history of the world," and it is a motto that a geology professor I had in graduate school adopted for himself. It's also a good description for our activities today, our first full day of fieldwork in the Parnaíba Basin.
We arrived last night at one of the main areas we'll be focusing on this year, near the town of Pastos Bons(meaning "good pastures"). This area is where the first specimen of Prionosuchus (an archaic amphibian that lived at the time the Pedra de Fogo Formation was being deposited) was found, and it's an area that we worked in last year during our reconnaissance trip to the basin. However, Roger Smith wasn't on last year's trip and we were quite interested in his interpretation of the rock sequences in the area. Therefore, we spent most of the day looking at the structure and composition of the sedimentary rocks preserved in the area to learn about the environmental conditions under which they were likely. Also important was the order in which different rocks occur, which provides information about how the environment was changing over time.
We saw a lot of evidence today that suggests that many of the rocks were formed in conditions in which water was present, but in which the climate was likely quite dry. For example, the picture below shows very large shrinkage cracks that likely formed as mud submerged in shallow water shrank as it started to dry up. Later the cracks were filled in with slightly younger sediments, preserving them as structures in the rock that eventually formed from the sediments. We also saw rocks that were derived from sand dunes, minerals like gypsum that normally form when water evaporates leaving its dissolved salts behind, and evidence of mats of cyanobacteria that were living on the surface of the mud. Taken together, the book of rocks we were reading today suggest that the environment was likely a sabkha, a setting commonly found along ocean margins in hot, dry environments. Good examples of sabkhas can be found along the Red Sea today. In this particular area, the environment probably became more terrestrial as time passed, with rocks representing the dunes along the margin of the sea occurring above rocks formed in the shallow water just at its edge (in most situations rocks occurring higher in a sequence formed after those lower in the sequence).
Casts of large shrinkage cracks exposed in the Pedra de Fogo Formation. The cracks initially formed as mud submerged under a shallow layer of water began to shrink as it dried up. Later, the cracks were filled in with slightly younger sediments, preserving the cracks as casts in the rock that eventually formed from the sediments. Photo by Ken Angielczyk.
Although this environment might sound hostile, we did find some fossils at the end of the day, which demonstrate that animals were living in the area. A lot of the fossils are fragmentary remains of fish, but there is also a specimen that we think is part of a vertebra (backbone) that may be from a terrestrial vertebrate (also known as a tetrapod). We're not sure if its from an archaic amphibian, a reptile, or synapsid, but it gives us hope of finding other tetrapod specimens in the area.

Now that we have a better idea of what the rocks are telling us, our plan for tomorrow is to explore some new outcrops near where we found today's fossils. Part of what we'll do is to see how the rocks there fit in with the interpretation that Roger started developing today. Our main goal, though, will be to devote more effort towards finding fossils. Hopefully we'll have good results.

Cites & Insights 9:9 (August 2009) available
Cites & Insights 9:9 (August 2009) is now available--just in time for the 2009 ALA Annual Conference. That's not a coincidence, to be sure; although the issue may not be directly relevant to the conference, if I didn't publish it now, it wouldn't be out until at least July 19.
This one's 32 pages, PDF as usual, but those who detest PDF or otherwise really need HTML can download the three articles separately.
The issue includes:
Perspective: Writing about Reading 3
The theme for this installment: Rethinking books and rethinking reading. Which means most of the long essay is about ebooks and ebook devices. (How long? A little more than half the issue, that's how long.)
Offtopic Perspective: 50 Movie Comedy Classics, Part 1
What's funny is generally in the eye of the beholder, although I suppose there may be objective criteria for labeling a flick a comedy. Watching the many early shorts and early movies in this first half of a 12-DVD collection was sometimes hilarious, frequently a little painful. (If I never see another East Side Kids "comedy" that will be just fine with me.) There's some gold here--and some dross as well.
Making it Work: Library 2.0 Revisited
A large handful of items spread out over almost two years--very much a once over lightly. (Yes, Library 2.0 and "Library 2.0" continues to be downloaded almost as often as any current issue. $0.25 for each copy downloaded would nicely cover sponsorship for the next 18 months...)

Swedish Civil Jurisdictions for Family History Research
Why Civil Jurisdictions?[edit | edit source]
Knowing what civil jurisdictions existed when your ancestors were living in Sweden can help you find more evidence to build the family tree. This is especially true when the church records are inadequate. This article will help you understand how the national government worked with with the county authorities who in turn worked with the local authorities in matters such as taxation, travel papers, law enforcement, etc. To start, let's look at the evolution of civil jurisdictions in Sweden.
Medieval - 1630's[edit | edit source]
By about 1,000 a.d. the Svear and Götar began to form the foundation of a Swedish kingdom. In the 1200's the land that would become modern Sweden was still divided into provinces (Landskap) that predate written history. At this time there were also smaller kingdoms ruled by "folkungar" families (families of strong political and military power.) The folkungar families would elect a king to be the head of the kingdom. During the second half of the 1200's, the King created a governing council that could work with the folkungar families. This council was called the Riksrådet and was made up of bishops and leading manorial lords. Three additional high offices were created, the Marsken, Drotsen, and Kanslern. At this time the kingdoms political center shifted towards Mälardalen and Stockholm quickly grew in importance. Other small cities grew and became meaningful places for trade and crafts. At the core of the kingdom, the borgare (official city members) consolidated and secured points of support for the strengthening of royal power.
During this time the financing of the Swedish government was enlarged when the old Ledungen tax system was replaced by a tax system based upon farming and agriculture. By 1280 there were a lot of tax exemptions granted to the nobles, the church and some private individuals. Private individuals tax exemption was based upon the conditions of armored service as knights. This "rusttjänst" was the foundation for increased numbers of nobility. Taxes on the land were paid to the repective fortress or castle (called Borg) where part of the taxes went to the support of garrisons. The appointed slottsfogden managed both the borg and the slottslän.
In 1389 the Swedish King Albrekt was defeated by the Danish –Norwegian Queen Margareta in Falköping. As a consequence the Danish-Norwegian and Swedish union was formed in Kalmar in 1397. This was called the union of Kalmar. This union continued until Gustav Vasa broke away with the Swedish powers in 1523, but in practice the union rarely functioned. After the breakup of the union of Kalmar and the election of Gustav Vasa as King (called Gustav I) the Vasa dynasty was established and the practice of electing Kings was replaced by heir succession.
Gustav I laid the foundation for the modern Swedish state. He increased a centralized national power with an effective bureaucracy. By the 1600's many civil jurisdictions were created mostly for the purpose of taxation or military assessment.
1630's - early 1900's[edit | edit source]
By the 1630's the aministrative levels of government were organized as outlined in the chart below. These levels remained the same up to the beginning of the 1900's.
|Administration Levels
|Kunglig Majestät
|the Swedish Government and Monarchy
|National Council (Privy Council) up to 1789
|Centrala ämbetsverk(Kollegierna)
|The kollegierna are made up of top government officials including: a constable of the realm, leading military officials, national treasurer, and a chancellor over a cabinet.
|Länsstyrelser: Landkansli and Landskontor
|Every county (Län) has a county administration (the Länsstyrelse.) Within the Länsstyrelsen you have the Landskansli and Landskontor. The Landskansli was responsible for commissions related to permissions and appointments. The Landskontor was responsible for all economic matters such as tax collection. To learn more about the Län in Sweden see the article Swedish Län.
|Rådhusrätter and Magistrater
|City Councils and Magistrates (in the cities)
|Fögderier: Kronofogde and Häradsskrivare (in rural areas)
|A Fögderi was an administrative geographical area that often matched the boundaries of the härads. The primary purpose was tax collection and law enforcement. Historically the läns were divided into fögderier, with a Kronofogden as the High Bailiff (or head officer) over the fögderi. To learn more about the Fögderi in Sweden see the article Swedish Fögderi.
|The Länsmansdistrikt (or landsfiskalsdistrikt) is a geographical area that is patrolled by a police force. The länsman answered to the Kronofogden. Since 1998 the police districts have been under the county organization. To learn more about the Länsmansdistrikt in Sweden see the article Swedish Länsmansdistrikt
|The länsman had appointed constables in every parish called Fjärdingsmän.

How do we stop the Common Core?
HSLDA is actively working on this issue to protect homeschooling freedoms. But the Common Core can only be stopped if citizens in every state demand that their representatives block the standards.
What should you do?
- Contact your state legislators immediately.
Governors and boards of education have committed some states to the full implementation of the Common Core by the 2013–14 school year, but your representatives can still stop the Common Core. State legislatures can defund the implementation of the Common Core as the Michigan Legislature did. State legislatures can also follow the example of the Texas Legislature and reject the Common Core by prohibiting school districts from basing curricula or tests on the standards. Please inform your legislators of the dangers that the Common Core poses to educational freedom and ask them to defund or reject it. Talking points and sample letter here.
- Contact your federal representatives.
The Race to the Top program is still receiving money through annual resolutions passed by Congress. Ask your federal representatives to introduce or support legislation that will cut off further Race to the Top funding and stop the involvement of federal bureaucrats in education. Talking points and sample letter here.
- Spread the word.
As the dangers of the Common Core are exposed, it is vital that you inform your friends and ask them to join you in speaking out against the Common Core.
- Stay in touch with HSLDA.
We are monitoring the status of the Common Core in every state, and will alert you to important legislation pending in your state. You can sign up for HSLDA e-lerts here.
Visit our "Find Your Legislator" page to find the contact information for your state and federal legislators!

Susan Sarandon brought the ashes of her late friend Timothy Leary to Burning Man and honored him with a tribute procession.
Leary, an author and psychologist who passed away in 1996, was one of America's chief advocates of LSD and other psychedelic drugs. His most famous action phrase was, "turn on, tune in, drop out."
Sarandon, holding her portion of Leary's ashes in an urn, led a procession into the "Totem of Confessions," an art installation created by another friend, Petaluma photographer Michael Garlington, that was later set ablaze.
U.S. & World
"He would have loved it," Sarandon told USA Today. "And all these people honoring him with LSD."

'Ratatouille' Branded Wine
Disney's consumer products division has to easily double the size of its creative department. In accordance with the studio's aim to squeeze every possible dollar out of a film, it will release wines based on the movie Ratatouille: "For the first time, Disney will offer red and white wines to complement the film's backdrop, a five-star Parisian restaurant, as well as cheese platters, both from Costco Wholesale Corp."
Wine blogger Dr. Vino speculates that the whites will be Chardonnays from the Burgundy region of France. Something tells me that Thomas Keller's palate (in use as consultant for the film) will not go into these mass-market wines.
I may breach my no-Disney movie policy for this one, but I still don't recommend buying any wine with cute, fuzzy animals on the label.

Every Tuesday, Grand Rounds is an accumulation of the best posts from medical blogs all over the Internet. Its original intent was to be written with the non-medical blogger in mind (this means you). After all, who isn't interested in medical topics?
What kind of stuff will you find? Just about anything! It can be stories about patient interactions. It can be commentary on the latest medical news. It can be explanations of clinical disease processes. Or it can be rants on just how ridiculous medical school is as seen through the eyes of a jaded and possibly slightly insane medical student. (Not that I'd know anything about that, of course).
Time to call a MEDIC! The Angry Medic of Cambridge isn't seeing as much gore as he'd like from his textbook prison and decides to take his education to the pitch where he receives a ball to the face, dips blood into his antiseptic and consoles the players that a large bandage will not effect "the number of female spectators yelling their names from the sidelines." You could say he Comes of Age.Grand Rounds is a weekly collection of the blogosphere's best medical writing. In the past there has been concern over the falling standards of Grand Rounds, but this edition is a step in the right direction, as Topher has obviously exercised stringent quality control (I should know. He was very generous with his feedback and got me to edit my submission twice before including it. Quality control is good, even if it doesn't do my carpal tunnel syndrome any good *wince* --Ed).
Go over and poke around. There's something for everyone, whether you're in the medical profession (you have my sympathies. --Ed) or not (you lucky bastard. --Ed). You might even find your Holy Grail.
And once you have, don't forget to pop over to Doctor Anonymous next week for Grand Rounds 3.09.
As God commandeth in a certain very famous film,

Have you heard of a debt plan called Panetta/Burns, similar to Bowles-Simpson? No? Good, because there is no such plan. Did you know ACORN stole the election for Obama? Nope? Also wise, see below. How about secession, the last refuge of a fake patriot or a real traitor? This new PPP poll (.pdf) has all that and more. Some highlights:
Atlantic Wire — The funniest poll of the afternoon comes from the folks over at Public Policy Polling, who have results that are new and legitimate results (if a bit heavy on the forced fantasy questions) finding that 49 percent of Republicans and six percent of Democrats believe ACORN stole the 2012 election for Barack Obama — despite the pesky fact that ACORN folded in 2010. How … wait … huh?


text: Dr. David L. Strayer Freshwater Ecologist Share: March 1, 2009 Drinking Water Few ecosystems on our planet are as mysterious and misunderstood as groundwater. Despite the fact 60 percent of us in Dutchess County drink groundwater every day, and all of us eat food irrigated by ground water, very few people know where it comes from, where it goes, or that groundwater is full of life. Because we are so misinformed about groundwater, we don't always manage this valuable resource wisely.All groundwater originates as rainwater or snowmelt that soaks into the ground. Although people might imagine rushing underground rivers, groundwater typically trickles slowly between grains of sand or through cracks in the bedrock. Only in areas of limestone rock, where caves are common, does groundwater often flow through underground stream channels.Where water in a river or creek might travel five or 10 miles in a day, daily groundwater flow is measured in inches to feet. This means deep groundwaters may have originated from snow that fell when mastodons roamed North America. It also means if we overpump or pollute groundwater, it may take many centuries for the pollution to be flushed away, or the aquifer to refill.The fact the groundwater we drink has to run through our yards, fields and roadways before reaching our wells ought to make us very careful about how we treat the landscape. Some pollutants are held tightly in the soil or destroyed by soil bacteria before they reach our wells, but other pollutants travel unchanged to our wells.Watch What You Put On LawnThe short lesson: Don't put something on your lawn or field that you wouldn't want coming out of the tap you or your grandchildren will drink from. Here in the Northeast, our groundwater is commonly contaminated by excessive salt (from road salt), gasoline from leaky storage tanks, nitrate (from sewage and fertilizers), or industrial chemicals such as the tetrachloroethene that has contaminated wells in southern Dutchess. Once contaminated, groundwater is difficult to clean up, and it's usually expensive and awkward to find alternative sources of water to replace contaminated wells.Just as water flows into the ground from the surface, groundwater emerges back at the surface in the form of springs or seeps. This groundwater supplies most of the water that flows in our streams during dry periods - this is why streams continue to flow for a long time after the last rain.Because deep groundwater is around the average annual temperature, these inputs keep streams cool enough to support trout through the summer and warm enough to keep from freezing during the winter. If we pump too much groundwater from our wells, the water table will drop, and springs and small streams will dry up and disappear. This has already happened over large areas of the Great Plains and arid West as a result of excessive pumping. So groundwater and surface waters (streams, lakes) are not separate, but part of a single hydrologic system.Perhaps most surprising, ground-water isn't sterile, but is full of life. Groundwater near the Earth's surface or in limestone bedrock contain a rich variety of special animals that do not occur in surface waters, including tiny crustaceans, worms and snails; there is even a tiny blind catfish named Satan in Texas aquifers.Deeper groundwaters contain only bacteria, but these bacteria can live at extraordinary depths and survive under remarkably inhospitable conditions. Scientists have found specialized bacteria as deep as three miles below the Earth's surface, living happily at 140 degrees Fahrenheit without any oxygen, and we don't yet know how deep the groundwater ecosystem extends.Groundwater is both an extraordinarily valuable resource and a fascinating ecosystem, a familiar part of our everyday life and a dark place with inhabitants scarcely known to us. Better knowledge of this ecosystem and careful planning will preserve this valuable resource for future generations. Share: Dr. David L. Strayer Freshwater Ecologist Dave Strayer is a freshwater ecologist whose work focuses on measuring the long-term effects of zebra mussels on the Hudson River ecosystem, and understanding the roles of suspension-feeding animals in ecosystems. Strayer also works on broader issues in freshwater conservation ecology and invasion biology.

Question: Bandwidth? How does it work?
Answer: Uploading files are not deducted from your bandwidth.
Each time one of your web pages is viewed by yourself or a visitor of your site, the size of the file that is viewed, played, listened to, etc., is added up in Kb or Mb, depending on the sizes of your files that are being accessed. This amount of file is then deducted from your monthly bandwidth.
Try to avoid large files that may load automatically on your pages. This will use up a lot of bandwidth.
