If you've been a reader of the BEEF Daily blog since it first started in 2008, then you know I've always been a big proponent of agricultural advocacy. To me, an effective advocate initiates conversations with consumers in the grocery store or at church, responds to articles on agriculture in the media and finds ways to incorporate positive messages about the people and places in today's food production chain on a daily basis.
One great example of a positive ambassador for our industry is Anne Burkholder, a Nebraska cattle rancher and a graduate of the Masters of Beef Advocacy Program. I wanted to share this Jan. 18, 2011 opinion piece Burkholder wrote in response to an article featured in Journal Star (Lincoln, NE) about humane animal treatment -- an article that was penned by the CEO of the Humane Society of the U.S. (HSUS) Wayne Pacelle. Burkholder makes it look easy. See her simple, effective, positive response, and follow her example. Great job, Anne!
"Most days, I am outside before the sun rises, and when the sun sets. I work on Sundays, and even on Christmas. I love animals, and I believe that growing a high-quality and healthy protein source to feed to all Nebraskans is an admirable vocation. Who am I?
"I am a Nebraskan, a wife, a mother and a cattle farmer. I care for cattle that are raised humanely and in accordance with Beef Quality Assurance practices.
Despite what he states in a recent letter, Wayne Pacelle of the Humane Society of the United States ("Treat animals humanely," Jan. 12) does not work to improve animal welfare.
"The HSUS is not your local humane shelter. The HSUS is the largest animal rights organization in the United States and works to take away the rights of Nebraskans to raise animals for food or to hunt. This is why leaders in animal agriculture and Gov. Dave Heineman refrained from entering into a discussion with Mr. Pacelle."
- Anne Burkholder

Bertolli Trip…LA Farmer's Market
As soon as we finished breakfast at the Griddler Cafe last Tuesday our next stop was the amazing LA Farmer's Market. We had so much fun browsing around and snapping hundreds of pictures. I'm sure people thought we were nuts! I thought I'd share some of my favorite photos from the market 🙂
Mandy and I getting ready to check things out 🙂
I had never heard of Rambutan. How crazy does it look?! Wonder what it tastes like?
There were dozens of gorgeous bakery shops. I couldn't help but snap pictures of the yumminess!

In a rant that quickly went viral, film director Spike Lee disparaged the gentrification of historically black New York City neighborhoods and reignited an age-old debate over the merits of economic change.
Lee, who grew up in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Fort Greene, made the comments during a Black History Month speech at the Pratt Institute in that borough Tuesday. No stranger to making incendiary remarks about race and society, Lee said gentrification had little regard for people who "have a culture that's been laid down for generations."
"So, why did it take this great influx of white people to get the schools better? Why's there more police protection in BedStuy and Harlem now?" he demanded, using local shorthand for Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood. "Why's the garbage getting picked up more regularly? We've been here!"
Lee, who moved out of Brooklyn years ago, recently listed his Upper East Side townhouse for $32 million.
The rant, which quickly went viral, didn't really bother Catherine Kunicki, 60, a longtime resident of Fort Greene who used to live down the block from Lee's family. She recalled seeing the director standing in a local delicatessen where she would get coffee when he was researching his classic film "Do the Right Thing," which takes place in Brooklyn.
"He's right," she said. "He's just angry."
Kunicki moved to the neighborhood in 1971 when she enrolled in the Pratt Institute. Back then, packs of feral dogs would roam the streets at night, and the grass grew through the sidewalks up to her knees during the summertime.
On the street where the Brooklyn Academy of Music now sits, drunks and drug addicts used to throw pans at people when they walked past, she said. The charming, brownstone-lined neighborhood is both safer and wealthier now, which has its drawbacks and its advantages.
"Unfortunately, the only people who can afford to buy a house and live here and raise a family are Wall Street people with huge bonuses who can come in and pay cash," Kunicki said. "And I have to admit, my neighbors are arrogant. They're not awful; they just believe they're entitled."
Others were upset by Lee's comments. Robert Perris, district manager for Fort Greene's local community board, refused to discuss Lee's remarks, which he described as "hate language."
"It sounded pretty hostile to me. When your sprinkle your conversation with that many expletives, this is not a critical discourse," Perris said. "This is spewing hate."
For Kath Hansen, 49, who founded the Fort Greene Park Users and Pets Society, gentrification has its upsides.Lee was particularly critical of the proliferation of dogs in the popular park, which sits at the heart of the neighborhood, and mockingly compared it to the Westminster Dog Show.
But the dog owners help keep the park safe and clean, Hansen pointed out.
"There's less crazy people wandering around the park at 6:30 in the morning," said Hansen, who has lived in the area since 1998. "It used to be the junkies and the people who slept in the park overnight. And I don't see that anymore. Is that a bad thing? OK, it's less colorful, I'll say that. But it's possibly more safe."
Ironically, Lee's sister, Joie Lee, was a member of the pets society before she moved to another part of Brooklyn, Hansen said.
And for longtime residents like Kunicki, the forces of gentrification have been a financial boost, too. The brownstone that she purchased for $75,000 in 1982 is now worth about $2 million. But Kunicki and her family don't plan to cash out and leave because they love living there too much.
"It was a nice quiet sleepy neighborhood. It's not a sleepy neighborhood any longer," she admitted. "I live in New York City. What are you going to do?"

Friday Photo: Meeting People
Each Friday I'll serve up a photo and give you the story behind it. This week, the owner of a restuarant in Bobo-Dioulasso.
For five consecutive days in Bobo, I lunched at the same local restaurant conveniently located in between the office my colleague's house. As my colleague ate there frequently already, I too quickly became a regular and had custom meals made for me upon request. The owner was dynamic and offered quick service (even gave second helpings of ice) – a rare quality in Burkina. I captured the above moment when she and her daughter joined us the last day I was in town.
Data/Map Tour: Part One Recap
Tags: Data/Map Tour, Projects
My database installation tour has gotten off to a great start and I have now completed my work in four of Burkina's thirteen regions (Boucle du Mouhoun, Nord, Centre Nord, and the Sahel*). So, what's involved in each visit?
First, I go over with the agents the advantages of the new system. Tracking payments has been simplified, and now we're adding individual visits to our data collection. Once the agent is comfortable with the two data entry portions, I show them the power of having all of that data in one place, as I have simplified all of their reporting to just one-click.
Additionally, they can use the software to create custom characteristic reports – a few examples:
- Before traveling to a certain province, we can identify which borrowers are located there, and of those, who is behinds on their payments or has had too much time pass since we've last met with them.
- If a borrower comes in for a meeting and says their business is struggling, we can quickly identify other successful borrowers who live in the same area and have the same type of business. We encourage our borrowers to create an informal network where they can go to each other for help.
- Before deciding on next year's loan portfolio, we can easily see if we've already over-financed a certain industry in a certain area. Allowing us to avoid over-saturating markets.
After showing off the system, then comes the real work. In order for all of those reports to be useful, we must be sure to have every borrower's updated information. That means verifying everything from their phone numbers to the date of their first scheduled payment. It typically takes a little over two (long) days to get the data ready and then we spend a day and a half on practicing with the software. Then it's off to the next region either by public transport or by private car.
There have been amazingly few hiccups so far, though I have had to deal with:
- Missing the one and only bus to Dédougou (hitched a ride with another government trip that was headed out there).
- One region had multiple borrowers with not only the same exact name, but also lived in the same city and had the same type of business.
- Not being able to track down hard copies of payment receipts for one region.
- Surprise holidays (March 8th was international women's day – my colleague and I worked a half-day).
- Living in the house of a PCV who left in December (no one had been in the house for almost three months – you can guess how clean it was).
Most interesting for me however, has been meeting and working with all of the other agents posted in each region. I've received great reactions from everyone, and all have been quick to pick up on the use of and importance of the software.
I've also had the chance to see many PCVs along the way and have spent about half of the time thus far being hosted in their houses. It's a bit disorienting to wake up in a new place every few days, but it has been a great way to see more of the country.
And while the GPS/mapping portion of the project have been reduced, I have trained a small team in Ouaga to map the 1,100+ borrowers in the capital. I'm hopeful that the team can visit all of them by May (the time my tour is finished).
Up next – the Centre Ouest and Centre Sud. Then a four day break in Ouaga to report back on my progress and have a little downtime.
*Due to the ongoing Tuareg conflict and previous AQIM activity, I wasn't able to travel to the Sahel, and instead had the agent meet me in the Centre Nord.

Mask Festival – FESTIMA 2012
Tags: Life, Photos
Last week marked the 14th edition of Dédougou's FESTIMA (Festival International des Masques et des Arts de Dédougou). The event is held every two years and while there are other mask festivals around, FESTIMA is unique in that it shows off many different styles of masks all at the same time in the same place. Masks were mainly from Burkina, but groups from Benin, Togo, and Mali were also involved. Most of the spectators were from the immediate area, but the festival did draw some groups of international (mostly French) tourists.
Griots, along with other musicians, would bring the masks to life with their music – usually drums or a flute-type instrument. Each group, composed of griots, musicians, three to eight masks and a few others would perform at a time. Most masks represented animals while others represented spirits from the bush. It is said that once the performer dons his mask (women are not permitted to wear masks) he becomes the animal/spirit he is wearing. Locals told us that it often helps that the performer is a little tipsy.
Check out some of my favorite images from the festival below (and thanks to Hayley, who borrowed my camera for a few of these shots as I was trapped in the office during parts of the week). I'll get some of the great video footage up once I get suitably fast internet.

Each year a traditional pagne (fabric) is released to commemorate the day, and a few girls I passed on the road relished in showing off their new outfits. For more on international woman's day and women's importance in microfinance, check out this great post on CGAP's blog.

Tucked away in the president's new budget is a proposal for a "BRAC-like" commission to propose cuts and contribution increases for military retirement programs. The changes would not apply to current retirees but to future ones (it is unclear whether any such changes would apply to current service members when they retire from the military, or only to future service members).
The acronym BRAC stands for base realignment and closure. The phrase "BRAC-like commission" means something legislatively analogous to the rounds of base-closing commissions that have occurred in the past, where a body comes up with a package proposal that then is voted up or down in Congress without the possibility for amendments.
The theory behind this is that if amendments are allowed, everyone will try to eliminate the change that gores their ox, resulting in a situation where no change ever gets passed. This same theory was applied in last year's Simpson-Bowles deficit cutting commission, except that the commission didn't attain a large enough majority to trigger the up-or-down vote provision. The cost of retirement benefits, including healthcare, to which service members pay only minimal contributions, threatens to overwhelm the Defense budget. That's why Panetta wants to take on this politically charged issue. It's not an easy issue even substantively, because it's likely that at least part of any savings from these benefits might have to be made up in current pay, though my instinct is that not too many 18-year-olds are thinking much about retirement when they sign up for or even stay in the military. I like the idea of a BRAC-like commission, but I wonder why it should be limited to savings from retirement benefits. First, just picking out retirement benefits adds to the third-rail dimensions of this. One of the merits of the up-or-down vote is that you take a package, which has various elements, each with the support of a different constituency, and other constituencies that may also support, or at least not oppose, the change. By limiting the changes to retirement programs, you get opposition from all the people who want the most expensive retirement benefits, but offer no other changes that such groups might be willing to accept, and that would create larger savings. So you bring out the one-issue opponents with fewer supporters to balance them. And substantively, shouldn't we be looking for other opportunities for cost savings other than retirement benefits? I wonder whether the Defense Department shouldn't be looking to expand the scope of a cost-cutting BRAC. I'm not sure exactly how you'd set the parameters. They would need to be narrower than the kinds of general deficit reduction proposals that the Erskine-Bowles Commission was charged with. You wouldn't want to have a cost-cutting commission looking at military policy like which weapons we should buy. It shouldn't include military bases, since those would be dealt with by a BRAC commission. If third rails are being approached, maybe such a commission might look at Buy America provisions or price preferences that add to the Defense Department's procurement costs? Cost competitions between in-house providers and contractors for more maintenance work? Other areas for such a commission?

Downsizing and BRAC costs more in the long run. We downsized considerably in the early 1990s only to find that...wow our planes are 30 years old and our equipment is falling apart. When we entered a conflict we played catch up. We spent trillions of dollars modernizing, only to now throw that back into a heap. Will we ever learn? A well maintained military costs less than buying new equipment or training new service members. Oh, and the military retirees sacrificed and gave more to their country than 99% of AMERICANs! Make congress pay for their care...that should save a few dollars since they're mostly millionaires anyway.
I'm not intimately familiar with the defnse budget, but when you say "The cost of retirement benefits, including healthcare . . . threatens to overwhelm the Defense budget."- I suspct that is the reason for the narrow scope of the commission. I also suspect the answer lies hidden within the elipses above.
John Boehner and crew in the House will make sure this idea, which is not new, frankly, will never fly. Further, the hapless WH staff, not to mention the Obama 2012 organization, will also assure this idea is never proposed by the current administration. Panetta can't overcome that, and, to be honest, he has become rather a cheerleader for the troops, which is not quite the right posture for the Secretary of Defense.
How about a BRAC like commission for legislative branch retirement but the recommendation get voted up or down by the heads of executive branch agencies - seems only fair.
How about savings in the Congressional Retirement System? Isn't it a bit strange that one term in Congress qualifies you for a lifetime 100% pension, while putting your life on the line for your country only qualifies you for 50% of your wage afte 20 years of service? Is it really such a sacrifice to serve one term in Congress?

May is National Stroke Awareness Month
Mark J.
Thursday, November 29, 2012
By: Lori J
Caregiver & Family
I met Mark three months after my first brain surgery at 18. I was bald on one side so I was sure he fell in love with me. Two years into our marriage, I had my second stroke. At the time I was also 7 1/2 months pregnant. I was left with partial use of my left side. Our son, now 30, is our miracle. Mark became a caregiver for the two of us. He has never left our side. Three more strokes later, I no longer have the use of my left side, including my eye and ear. I almost died during the last hemorrhage. We were always told the A.V.M. was too big & too deep, but after the last scare we were all desperate. Mark's dad heard of a doctor in Arizona, so we went there. I went into a coma, but Mark never left my side. He moved my limbs to help me get better. I could hear someone telling me to keep my eyes on the sail boat (I Love the ocean). He said "watch it and sail back to me!" He was so scared; I couldn't speak to tell him to go and get some rest. The nurses said he looked so tired. Go home...I thought.
He takes care of my needs before his own. My medications come first. He's gotten me involved in therapeutic horseback riding and community sailing. Over time I developed other health conditions and Mark makes sure we know about them as much as possible. Most doctors tell me how lucky I am that he's never left. But to that we say that we are both lucky.
I could never begin to tell you how loving and unselfish Mark is. He helps me in so many ways. He is my driver, my cook, my caregiver. He keeps my HOPE alive. He is my angel, sent to me from God, to help me. He always has my best interest in mind.

OruxMaps Lets You Go as Far as Your Mapmaking Skill Takes You
Mar 1, 2013 5:00 AM PT
OruxMaps Donate, a mobile app from Jose Vazquez, is available for US$2.62 at Google Play. Have you ever considered becoming a cartographer? It's not as hard as you might think.
I've been trying out OruxMaps, a map viewer for Android that functions two ways. One mode is online with the usual suspects like Google maps, OpenStreetMap, and so on; the second and more intriguing method is offline with maps you've created yourself.
Creating your own maps, while not hard, is a project. The basic concept is that you take a paper map -- someone else's or your own -- and scan it to a PC as an image. You then calibrate that image with known geo-reference points that are understood by the map viewer and its GPS.
Trip-ups stem from the fact that the Earth is round, while electronic screens and paper are flat, so you need to come to grips with projections. There are hundreds of different types of datums.
Another issue is that there are multiple ways of entering the calibration data, all subject to interpretive error. Plus, there are obvious copyright concerns if you're using someone else's map.
I've been experimenting with desktop tools like OkMap, which help the 21st century mapmaking process.
The App
Jose Vasquez's OruxMaps Donate is $2.62 in the Google Play Store. There's also a free ad-supported version that you can try.
This app is a real mapmakers app. I've reviewed other map apps for LinuxInsider, including classy Backcountry Navigator, but none of those that I've seen thus far provide the map-geek flexibility of OruxMaps.
Online maps supplied with the app include Google and OpenStreetMap, as well as Chartbundle US Aviation, Google Earth and niche maps like OpenPisteMap.
I counted 36 different maps, including multiple overseas maps like UK Multimap and German Hike & Bike -- part of the OpenStreetMap project. All of the included maps can be cached offline.
Among OruxMaps' features: ability to display your position in 3D view; relief maps; trip computer; multitracking for following your friends; sharing position; barometer support; and multiple-route displays.
Neat tricks include an on-map night mode switch to dim the map and preserve night vision, plus heart-rate Bluetooth support.
Waypoint management is extremely comprehensive, with photo-waypoint functionality and geocache-specific settings.
Making a Map
I was able to load a map of a section of Southern California that I had created in Gian Paolo Saliola's OkMap for Windows, as well as one that I had made using the OruxMaps desktop conversion tool. They look fabulous -- just like commercially available online maps.
However, they both unfortunately got placed in China, within the app's scheme of things. Same latitude -- different continent. This was due to a datum mismatch totally unrelated to OruxMaps and due to my inexperience with Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) datums. I won't bore you with the details. Suffice it to say, I need to read up on it some more. It is a project, after all.
However, I was able to create waypoints within my maps, which was highly satisfying -- despite the fact that they look as though they're on the wrong continent.
Greetings From China
Mapmaking has been an important part of mankind's development, and I recommend a sojourn into mapmaking for those interested in how we got to where we are.
This is one of funnest projects I've gotten involved with through an app, and I'm looking forward to getting the datum mismatch figured out. I intend to create a map and use it in OruxMaps for a spring Southern California desert road trip.

The environment around the galaxy M60 contains a very dense galaxy called M60-UCD1.
At first I was kind of surprising this galaxy was even noticed being so close to M60. Turns out a closer look with Chandra shows it to be very distinctive.
The densest galaxy in the nearby universe may have been found. The galaxy, known as M60-UCD1, is located near a massive elliptical galaxy NGC 4649, also called M60, about 54 million light-years from Earth.
This composite image shows M60 and the region around it, where data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory are pink and data from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope are red, green and blue. The Chandra image shows hot gas and double stars containing black holes and neutron stars, and the Hubble image reveals stars in M60 and neighboring galaxies including M60-UCD1. The arrow points to M60-UCD1.
Packed with an extraordinary number of stars, M60-UCD1 is an "ultra-compact dwarf galaxy." It was discovered with Hubble, and follow-up observations were done with Chandra and ground-based optical telescopes.
It is the most luminous known galaxy of its type and one of the most massive, weighing 200 million times more than our Sun, based on observations with the Keck 10-meter telescope in Hawaii. Remarkably, about half of this mass is found within a radius of only about 80 light-years. This would make the density of stars about 15,000 times greater than found in Earth's neighborhood in the Milky Way, meaning that the stars are about 25 times closer.
The 6.5-meter Multiple Mirror Telescope in Arizona was used to study the amount of elements heavier than hydrogen and helium in stars in M60-UCD1. The values were found to be similar to our Sun.
Another intriguing aspect of M60-UCD1 is that the Chandra data reveal the presence of a bright X-ray source in its center. One explanation for this source is a giant black hole weighing in at some 10 million times the mass of the Sun.
Astronomers are trying to determine if M60-UCD1 and other ultra-compact dwarf galaxies are either born as jam-packed star clusters or if they are galaxies that get smaller because they have stars ripped away from them. Large black holes are not found in star clusters, so if the X-ray source is in fact due to a massive black hole, it was likely produced by collisions between the M60-UCD1 and one or more nearby galaxies. M60-UCD1's great mass and the abundances of elements heavier than hydrogen and helium are also arguments for the theory that galaxy is the remnant of a much larger galaxy.
If this stripping did occur, then the galaxy was originally 50 to 200 times more massive than it is now, which would make the mass of its black hole relative to the original mass of the galaxy more like the Milky Way and many other galaxies. It is possible that this stripping took place long ago and that M60-UCD1 has been stalled at its current size for several billion years. The researchers estimate that M60-UCD1 is more than about 10 billion years old.
These results appear online and have been published in the September 20th issue of The Astrophysical Journal Letters.

text: venkelos 563 Posted November 16, 2012 Has anyone tried this? The Jericho Reach is a warzone, no question, and contains several and varied enemies, from the technologically advanced and sedition-inducing Tau to the endless swarms of Hive Fleet Dagon, and Orks, Eldar, and Necrons can round things out, if they are feeling frisky. Do the OW characters do well against such foes, assuming Space Marines and Hordes are avoided? I ask because, and this is pointless, I had an idea for a Horde-busting gun I want the IG to test out against the mass millings of the Tyranids; I call it the Broodshock and it is effectively a grenade launcher combined with a flamer. The frag grenades can soften up Hordes of little bugs as they swarm in, and the flamer can finish them off, as they close into assaulting range. This, combined with a suppressive fire of several lasguns seems like a nice idea to me. The Reach would seem a decent location to field-test the weapon, but it is more for IG than Space Marines. The area with OW could work, too, with hordes of Orks (I believe the primary enemy?), but Nids are a bit less mindful of strategy, and not likely to loot the gun, and turn it on it's inventors.

Four years after massive rock slides shut down the Pikeview Quarry above Oak Valley Ranch and Peregrine, the century-old mine visible for miles on the northwest edge of Colorado Springs has been declared safe and has reopened.
Since May, dynamite has been blasting every week or so and trucks piled high with limestone again are rumbling past hundreds of homes and apartments often running from early morning until evening.
The vibration from the loaded trucks, coupled with the loud braking, prompted calls from neighbors who had grown accustomed to the silence.
"They can shake the house," said Loree Ellis, who backs up to Allegheny Drive about a half mile east of Pikeview. "It's really bad when they jake-brake."
Ellis was referring to a loud diesel engine braking system used to slow big rigs. Many cities ban "jake-braking" in neighborhoods.
After a couple other complaints from folks, I visited the mine and met with M.L. "Mac" Shafer, vice president of Transit Mix Aggregates, which owns Castle Concrete and the Pikeview Quarry.
I hadn't been to Pikeview since September 2009 to see the damage caused by two huge rockslides. The first, on Dec. 2, 2008, brought 2 million tons of limestone crashing down the steep, stair-stepped ledges in the center of the quarry, generating a dramatic plume of dust and lots of calls to police from worried Springs residents.
On Sept. 9, 2009, a second slide produced another, smaller plume and dropped an estimated 1 million tons of limestone down the walls of the quarry.
The next few years were spent monitoring the quarry, which has a permit for 236 acres but actively mines less than half that area, with sophisticated laser sensors and seismographs and hiring geologists and engineers to analyze the mine.
A plan was developed to reopen, reclaim and close the mine by 2020.
Jerry Schnabel, president of Transit Mix, described it as a "four-phase plan for shrinking the scar, top to bottom and north to south."
A public hearing process last year led to the recent reopening and resumption of mining.
"Ultimately, it's a reclamation process," Shafer said. "But we've got to mine and get to the point where it can be reclaimed."
The mountainside is granite covered by limestone, Shafer said. Experts believe the rockslides were the result of moisture building up between the granite and the limestone.
"It will never be stable until we remove all the limestone," he said.
Even before it began mining again, the mine was busy taking in concrete rubble from the 347 homes destroyed by the Waldo Canyon fire in Mountain Shadows. And Shafer said his crews donated tons of sand for sandbagging give-aways in recent months as homeowners try to protect themselves from flash-flooding off the burn scar.
Shafer noted the Waldo Canyon fire, which burned to the edge of the quarry and stopped its advance into Oak Valley Ranch and Peregrine, will actually enhance efforts to make the mine blend with the surrounding Pike National Forest.
"We'll be doing mine reclamation at the same time the fire reclamation is going on in the forest," he said. "Now there won't be such a contrast."
But first the limestone must be removed. So crews are drilling and blasting, crushing and screening and, ultimately, trucking away limestone for use in concrete, asphalt and other building materials. Pikeview limestone, for example, is being heavily used in the widening of Austin Bluffs Parkway, in reconstruction of Mountain Shadows homes and assorted other projects.
Eventually, Shafer said the company plans to attack the dangerous slide zone, where boulders as big as 40,000 tons still are slowly rotating down the mountain.
"We'll take the rubble in the slide area," he said. "It's unstable so we'll have to do it remotely."
As his crews mine, Shafer said they'll also work on reclamation. And their efforts will be watched closely by Gary Bradley and David Isbell of the non-profit Colorado Mountain Reclamation Foundation, which oversaw reclamation of Castle's Queens Canyon Quarry above the Garden of the Gods. Quarry walls were sprayed with stain, dirt was hauled in and 7,000 trees planted at Queens from 1995 to 2001.
"It was a huge victory," Isbell said.
Similar efforts, led largely by another foundation member, Wanda Reaves, were well underway at Pikeview. Starting in 2003, thousands of Douglas fir and Rocky Mountain junipers had been planted high in the mine by volunteers using peat moss and a mixture of moisture-retaining polymer crystals in holes draped with black tarp and protected by mesh guards and sun screens.
However, much of the work was wiped out by the slides.
Isbell and Bradley promise to ensure Shafer and his crews stay true to the reclamation plan, approved by the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety.
"We are monitoring them," Bradley said. "And they are performing."
He said the operating plan for the mine shows an end date of 2020 for Pikeview. But Shafer believes it's probably too optimistic to think reclamation will be completed that soon.
"I'd say it may take anywhere from 10 to 11 years or more," he said.
That's not good news to neighbors like Ellis.
"I want to sell my house and I was hoping the quarry would stay shut down," she said, praising Shafer for restricting operating hours and trying to be a good neighbor.
"I feel bad about complaining," said Ellis, noting her father drove an 18-wheel truck.
But she knows the sight and sound of rock trucks rolling past her windows will make selling a bigger challenge.
"I feel a little guilty talking about it at all," she said. "I know that rock quarry saved my house."

No-Mas Street Cred in QuestionAs an avid boxing fan one of the places I go to visit and get great color commentary on the fight game is NoMas. A blog/website based out of NYC. It brings you short films on the grit it takes to make it in boxing; both on the big stage and on the local scene. NoMas also follows some of the local fighters that I enjoy watching.
Yet, the one thing that I've always enjoyed about NoMas is their shirts. They have a great selection of shirts that not many people are wearing around the city. Not to mention, they have a lot of backhanded humor and their shirts also take me back to my childhood.
So I'm a little torn by seeing NoMas shirts at Bloomingdale's this past weekend. I swear I was there for a friend and his girlfriend who were shopping. In any case, I suppose I'm a bit sad that they have gone mainstream. It was bound to happen, they have bills to pay and need to expand their market, and as I said above, they put out a fantastic product. I guess I just enjoyed finding their shirts in small hip-hop boutiques around the city.
I'm not getting paid to pimp NoMas on this site. I know the writers there and they do a kick-ass job of covering the fight game, baseball, and for some reason Philly sports. But Bloomies? The Rooster is confused today.
For those of you that call The Rooster a liar....here is the proof:

Since this site is a Q&A for system administrators and desktop support professionals I'd decided to post my question here. Not sure if this is the best stackexchange website for this.
We have an HP Color Laserjet 4700n of course out of warranty. And we have an 49.4CF2 Service error. According to several sources online, this is firmware related.
When I switch of the printer and switch it back on, it gives this error again. I have tried to give it a cold reset. But that didn't work either. I have downloaded both firmware downloads from hp.com first one has an application which transfers the firmware to the printer, but after about 5% the printer switches again to 49.4CF2 Service error. I also tried the second firmware. So I used filezilla to transfer the .rfu file. The start of the transfer looked good. But again, after about 5% there was a lost connection.
I do not know what else I can try to resolve this error.
p.s. ping-ing the printer works. but stops when the error occurs. same for webinterface of the network printer.
EDIT: as Jan Marek and Ezio Zanghellini said: the firmware is still not updated. Seems impossible!

Proms 2011 - Philadelphia Orchestra and Janine Jansen
Searing performances of Sibelius, Rachmaninov, Tchaikovsky and Ravel from an orchestra whose future is in doubt
Darkness cast a shadow across Thursday's Prom, starring the Philadelphia Orchestra under Charles Dutoit. You could hear it in the music: in the 'powers of darkness menacing Finland' in Sibelius's nationalistic protest, Finlandia, Op. 26; in the Dies irae of Rachmaninov's Symphonic Dances; and in the post-war grotesqueries of Ravel's La valse which, after the Rachmaninov waltz, seemed surreal, like a distorted déjà vu.
Conductor Charles Dutoit took every opportunity to show off the Philadelphia Orchestra's luscious, glossy sound; theirs was playing with polish.
Making her entrance after the Finlandia, Janine Jansen lit up the stage with an outstanding performance of the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto. Playing with spontaneity, beautifully breathed nuances, and a technique that surpasses text-book, Jansen is a virtuoso who seems totally on top of her game: she not only imbued the Tchaikovsky with fresh, stylish character – Dutoit did well to follow her – but made its fiendish passagework look easy.
Who would have guessed from the orchestra's committed playing that grim shadows, too, are cast across its future? After filing for bankruptcy in April this year, its legal costs are nudging an estimated $3million. But the band plays on…
At a reception after the concert, Proms director Roger Wright offered a further insight into the ways in which the US economic downturn is impacting its orchestras. Explaining why the Pittsburg Symphony Orchestra had only given us a taste of Walter Braunfels's Fantastic Appearances of a Theme of Hector Berlioz, Op. 25 (Prom 68), he said the Pittsburg had intended to perform the complete work both at the Proms and in the States, but when its US concert promoters pulled out, the orchestra had been left without adequate funds to rehearse it.
Wright also announced that this year's attendance figures had surpassed last year's, averaging a whopping 94 per cent to main evening concerts. So we're left with a festival that packs out a 5,000-seat concert hall, every night, for two months during the summer season – and players who are unable to find the financial resources to play the music that their audiences are hungry to hear. It's hard to square the two.

Sandy and Climate Change: Is There a Link? main content.
by AMNH on
The largest hurricane to make landfall along the mid-Atlantic coastline of the U.S., Superstorm Sandy made history. Experts say Sandy is a sign of more to come. "As the world warms and these storms become more frequent, we're going to be caught out again," says Michael Oppenheimer, a geosciences professor at Princeton University who has been studying climate change for three decades.
Because climate is enormously complex, no particular storm can be attributed to climate change. We can, however, say that the storm fits a general pattern in North America, and around the world, toward more extreme weather—a pattern which, increasingly, can be attributed to climate change.
Warmer oceans provide more energy for storms.
The ocean is warming along with Earth's atmosphere. Tropical cyclones—also called hurricanes or typhoons—are the most powerful storms on Earth and feed on warm waters at the ocean surface. Warmer waters provide more energy for these storms, making them more powerful. Intense and destructive storms are likely to become more and more frequent as our planet continues to warm. In fact, they already have. Also, warmer air retains more moisture, which is drawn into storms and dumped on us in the form of heavy rain or snow.
Climate change is causing sea level to rise.
Sea level is rising because the ocean is warming, and warmer water expands. Warmer temperatures also melt ice sheets and glaciers, which increases the amount of water in the ocean. Sea level has risen on average by about 7 inches (15 centimeters) since 1900, and even higher along the East Coast.
Higher sea levels increase the impact of storms.
As we can see from devastation in coastal New Jersey, Staten Island, and low-lying Brooklyn neighborhoods, storm surges are the most damaging aspect of tropical cyclones. "One link between hurricanes and climate change is very precise. That's the vulnerability of coastal cities to hurricane impacts, and that's linked to sea-level rise," says Ben Orlove, co-director of Columbia University's Center for Research on Environmental Decisions. "This was essentially what we thought of as the once-in-a-100-years event," says Radley Horton, of Columbia's Center for Climate Systems Research and a NASA scientist specializing in climate projections. "As sea levels rise, we'll see these types of events more often."
An article in Nature Climate Change, by Kerry Emanuel, Michael Oppenheimer, and Erik Vanmarcke puts it this way: "The combined effects of storm climatology change and a one meter sea-level rise may cause the present NYC 100-yr surge flooding to occur every 3-20 years and the present 500-yr flooding to occur every 25-240 years by the end of the century." As sea levels continue to rise, it won't take hurricanes as big as Sandy to wreak havoc along the East Coast.
We understand the forces that create big storms much better than we used to.
While it's impossible to tease out precise effects that each climate variable, such as sea-level rise, storm surge, and high tide, had on Sandy's size and strength, there's no doubt that this century's sea-level rise made the megastorm worse. And over the past decade, climate scientists have gotten very good at determining what affects the variables that create big storms—and their link to climate change.
So how did climate change contribute to Sandy's size and strength?
Sandy was also fueled by much-higher-than-average sea-surface temperatures along the East Coast, where ocean water is still warm this time of year, pumping energy into the swirling system—with about 15 percent of the temperature increase attributed to climate change, according to Katharine Hayhoe, an associate professor of atmospheric sciences at Texas Tech University. And record loss of sea ice in the Arctic this year may have steered Sandy towards the coast. Emerging research suggests that as more Arctic sea ice melts in the summer—because of global warming—atmospheric circulation patterns will change, including the path of the jet stream. That may make it easier for storms to stagnate in the North Atlantic or even move west, as Sandy did.
"Of course we don't know what the future will bring, but we would be well served as a society by understanding that climate change is increasing the risk of major disasters," says Curator Ed Mathez, a geologist in the Museum's Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences. "These include not just cyclones, but also floods, extensive droughts, and widespread famines. We have to start asking ourselves what such events could cost society."

LAS VEGAS — USC acted like model citizens in Sin City this week, showing up everywhere on time without any embarrassing incidents. That normally applies to the players, but in this case it is the coaches who upgraded their behavior.
Last year, Lane Kiffin caused a controversy when he showed up nearly an hour late for the Sun Bowl team dinner and then got into an ugly argument with former assistant coach Kennedy Polamalu, an incident that did not become public until months later.
No such incidents for USC interim coach Clay Helton, who called himself the Trojans' No. 3 head coach. Helton's done everything right while dealing with the specter of former interim coach Ed Orgeron surrounding the program.
"It's pretty clear we want to win it for Coach O," USC safety Demetrius Wright said. "The whole team wants to win it for him. It's still Coach O's team. We know he'll be watching."
Orgeron will definitely be watching, and it is fascinating to hear the players express loyalty to him more than three weeks after he abruptly resigned when Steve Sarkisian was hired.
"It's totally different this year compared to last year," offensive guard John Martinez said. "The attitude is much more upbeat, with guys pulling for one another."
Whether USC (9-4) can deliver an emotional Las Vegas Bowl performance against Fresno State (11-1) without Orgeron is the big question going into today's 12:30 p.m. game.
It is a mystery that will only be settled today. The seniors like Wright and Martinez are especially loyal to Orgeron, according to redshirt freshman offensive tackle Zach Banner, who said a split emerged with younger players who were more open to the idea of a new coach taking over the program.
The soft-spoken Helton tried to find a way to motivate the Trojans, and dangled the carrot of a 10th victory.
"We're on our third coach and it would make a great statement for Trojans fans,'' Helton said. "We want them to remember this was a team with 47 scholarship players to put on the field and … going for its 10th win.''
That might seem like a stirring reason to play hard, but it's the best end product of a tumultuous season. How ironic that USC would win 10 games and go through three coaches in the same season with a fourth (Sarkisian) waiting in the wings.
When athletic director Pat Haden was asked if all the turmoil he put the Trojans through would have been better served by firing Kiffin a year ago, he said, "Let me think about that one and get back to you."
Of course, USC never goes anywhere without some controversy, and Sarkisian overshadowed the team when allegations arose that his Washington assistant, Tosh Lupoi, paid an assistant track coach $4,500 to help get a recruit eligible through tutoring and online classes.
Sarkisian did not disappear from the public eye in the middle of the charges. Although his replacement at Washington, Chris Petersen, elected to stay home and let the Huskies go to the Fight Hunger Bowl with their old coaches, Sarkisian even showed up at a practice in Las Vegas.
Sarkisian could be sanctioned or suspended under new NCAA rules that punish coaches when their assistants break rules. Is he concerned?
"I don't know if concerned is the right word," Sarkisian said. "I know what I did on a daily basis and I know the environment I promoted there. If, and or when, I don't know, that the NCAA wants to talk to me, I'll feel confident in my ability to show factually the ability that I exhibited to promote that atmosphere."
Whether the NCAA comes to the same conclusion is something that might take months or even years to settle. And despite all of this, the Trojans remain 6-point favorites over the Bulldogs today.
"Everyone wants to win this game for Coach O,'"USC safety Josh Shaw said. "Even Coach Helton mentioned it."
