This paper investigates the relationship and potential synergies between monitoring systems for carbon stock changes and multiple benefits from REDD+.Resource Type: Reports
Th is report summarises the experiences and lessons learnt from the 2010 Biodiversity Indicators Partnership (2010 BIP), as well as providing details of 27 global indicators developed in support of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD)'s 2010 Biodiversity Target.Resource Type: Reports
The objectives of the World Heritage Convention are the identification, protection, conservation and presentation of the world's natural and cultural heritage and ultimately, the successful transmission of them to future generations. UNEP-WCMC and IUCN have undertaken a range of global and regional studies to support State Parties to the Convention in the selection of potential sites, and to assist in the evaluation of nominations.Resource Type: Reports
Spatial analyses relating to co-benefits can provide key information to support planning and decision-making on REDD+ at national and sub-national scales. To do so, they should be based on data developed at an appropriate scale and should address those benefits and challenges deemed most important by key stakeholders and practitioners.
This report presents results from an initial effort to produce such analyses for Cambodia. It includes new data on the distribution of terrestrial carbon stocks in Cambodia and analyses of its relation to areas of importance for biodiversity, Protected Areas and other land management units, and pressures (such as forest cover loss). It is expected that the study will be developed further in collaboration with other institutes and stakeholders.Resource Type: Reports
In response to the global challenge, for a systematic conservation planning approach to MPA establishment, set by the Convention on Biological Diversity and other international agreements and action plans, there are now many initiatives to develop ecologically representative MPA networks. This report describes the progress being made in 30 national and 35 sub-national ecological MPA network initiatives, using information from the literature, MPA practitioners and planners, and conservation experts. The report explores the diverse range of approaches applied, at various spatial and geographical scales, to demonstrate how MPA networks can be established in practice, and how they can be adapted to different needs and priorities.Resource Type: Reports
Co‐benefits, often called multiple benefits, are the positive impacts of Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) that are additional to emissions reductions. These include ecosystem and social benefits such as biodiversity and non‐timber forest products. Potential co‐benefits from REDD are widely relevant in Tanzania, where forests and woodlands support the livelihoods of 87% of the rural poor (Milledge et al. 2007). Conserving biodiversity also promotes the continued provision of these benefits under environmental change (Campbell et al. 2009), thus increasing resilience to climate change. Depending on where REDD action is taken, the co‐benefits delivered will vary. Simple mapping tools can help identify how carbon, other services and pressures such as fire are distributed and relate to each other.
Here, we map the distribution of carbon stocks in relation to the possible co‐benefits of REDD, alongside other relevant factors. A new map of carbon in Tanzania's ecosystems has been produced for this analysis.Resource Type: Reports
A new, systematic review of the evidence on the effectiveness of ecosystem-based approaches to adaptation (EbA) has been carried out to review the effectiveness of EbA and highlight the knowledge gaps. This research was undertaken as a collaboration between BirdLife International, UNEP-WCMC, IIED and the University of Cambridge.
Ecosystem-based approaches to adaptation (EbA) integrate the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services into an overall strategy for helping people adapt to climate change. To date, however, insight into these approaches has often been based on anecdotal case studies of local people's use of ecosystems. Although they are informative, they can provide rather limited insight in terms of measuring and evaluating the effectiveness of EbA, especially compared with technical or structural adaptation measures. A new, systematic review of EbA evidence has been carried out to interrogate the scientific literature and review studies from around the world, from many different ecosystems and adopting a wide range of adaptation approaches utilising ecosystems. We conclude that EbA approaches are effective and deserve greater policy attention and political support to reach their full potential.Resource Type: Reports
This synthesis focuses on estimates of biodiversity change as projected for the 21st century by models or extrapolations based on experiments and observed trends. The term "biodiversity" is used in a broad sense as it is defined in the Convention on Biological Diversity to mean the abundance and distributions of and interactions between genotypes, species, communities, ecosystems and biomes. This synthesis pays particular attention to the interactions between biodiversity and ecosystem services and to critical "tipping points" that could lead to large, rapid and potentially irreversible changes. Comparisons between models are used to estimate the range of projections and to identify sources of uncertainty. Experiments and observed trends are used to check the plausibility of these projections. In addition we have identified possible actions at the local, national and international levels that can be taken to conserve biodiversity. We have called on a wide range of scientists to participate in this synthesis, with the objective to provide decision makers with messages that reflect the consensus of the scientific community and that will aid in the development of policy and management strategies that are ambitious, forward looking and proactive.Resource Type: Reports
The success of protected areas as a tool for conservation is based around the assumption that they are managed to protect the values that they contain. To be effective, management should be tailored to the particular demands of the site, given that each protected area has a variety of biological and social characteristics, pressures and uses. Achieving effective management is not an easy task – it requires adopting appropriate management objectives and governance systems, adequate and appropriate resourcing and the timely implementation of appropriate management strategie and processes. It is unlikely to be achieved fully without an approach to management that is inquiring an reflective – that seeks to understand how effective the current management regime is and how it could be improved. Information on management effectiveness is thus a cornerstone of good management.

Fig and Blue Cheese Savouries
Author Notes: If you are like me, you always offer to bring something when invited to someone's house. I mean the offer, I always love an opportunity to cook for people, but sometimes it's hard to come up with a quick idea on the fly. And when it's one of those roaming parties – not a seated affair – choosing a dish that doesn't have to be kept hot or cold or require and special equipment adds to the challenge. I tend to fall back on the same recipes, but I recently wanted to add one to my repertoire – after all, it gets to be the same people at parties, right? These little Fig and Blue Cheese bites are easy but very elegant, and the surprising tart and tangy with sweet combination is a real treat. - TheRunawaySpoon
- TheRunawaySpoon
Food52 Review: These delicate, crumbly little thumbprints are the perfect combination of sweet and savory, as their names suggests -- they're like a great cheese plate all wrapped into one crunchy little morsel. TheRunawaySpoon's simple food processor dough yields tender, buttery coins flecked with blue cheese and black pepper. A good quality fig jam is crucial here; if you can't find it, quince or pear jam would also work well. - A&M - A&M
Makes about 3 dozen
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
- 4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
- Ground black pepper
- Fig preserves, about 3 Tablespoons
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the flour, butter, blue cheese and a few grinds of black pepper in the bowl of a food processor. Process until the dough just comes together and starts to form a ball.
- Dump the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead a few times to pull the dough together. Roll out to 1/8 inch thick with a floured rolling pin. Cut rounds out of the dough with a floured 1-inch cutter and transfer the rounds to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Using the back or a round half-teaspoon measure or your knuckle, make an indentation in the top of each dough round. Spoon about ¼ teaspoon of fig preserves into each indentation, using your finger to push the preserves as best as possible into the indentations.
- Bake the savories for 10 – 14 minutes, until the preserves are bubbling and the pastry is light golden on the bottom.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes, the remove to a wire rack to cool.
- You'll find fig preserves at the grocery – it may be shelved with the "fancy" jams and jellies. You can make these a day ahead and keep them in two layers separated by waxed paper in an airtight container.

is there any way I can do this without a food processor?
10 days ago Sanibelle
I am sure you can. It is just like a stiff cookie dough and they made cookies long before food processors. You might try a hand mixer if it has a strong enough motor, but lacking one just use a mixing bowl and wooden spoon and you will get a workout. Make sure the butter is fairly soft and knead a little if mixing becomes too difficult.

how much pepper?
20 days ago juleeclip
Hard to guess an exact measurement when grinding the pepper, but I go very generous with it, probably ten grinds of my mill. It's a matter of taste, but I think it's an important flavor in these savouries of few and such simple ingredients.
20 days ago Sanibelle
I agree. I like a pronounced pepper flavor and keep grinding until I can see it. I probably use about a tablespoon.

I would like to know if anyone thinks almond meal could be substituted for the all-purpose flour? Thanks for your time.
3 months ago yvette
Thanks! the fig butter worked great! actually the jalepeno jelly was a big hit too!
3 months ago yvette
Could I use fig butter instead? That's all I could find at the store this morning.
3 months ago innoabrd
This recipe is so adaptable, you can use nearly anything...that said, I prefer something with a bit of tartness to it, or even heat, like a jalapeno jelly. Give it a try with one sheet, if you're not happy with it, go get something else to try. The dough is fine left in the fridge.
3 months ago vrunka
I've made them with fig butter and they're great! I actually prefer the texture of the butter to the jam
3 months ago Sanibelle
I agree with Innoabrd and Vrunka. I usually use a mango jalapeno jelly because I like the heat, sweetness and color. I would try a couple with the fig butter (which you probably have already done) and if it doesn't spread too much, use it. It sounds like it will work well.
4 months ago Tina Cowart
This recipe is from Food and Wine Magazine. I made them several months ago.
4 months ago innoabrd
That's kind of an accusation of plagiarism. This recipe was posted, if you look above, over three years ago. When were they in Food and Wine? I searched a bit and found a similar idea, but using ready-made puff pastry, but didn't find this recipe?
4 months ago Anne B
I am not great and pastry and these were a big fail for me. Next time I would add more flour and cut quite a bit thicker. I read all the comments and one poster said they were "friable." That seems an apt description of what happened in my case. But great flavor. Might try again.
4 months ago c1marie
We like to make these with 3oz. of blue cheese and 1oz. of goat cheese. Instead of rolling and using a cutter, I find it easier to roll dough into balls, then using my finger I make a depression for the figs. They need to bake a few extra minutes since they're a bit thicker. Great recipe...whipped up a bunch for Christmas treat bags.
4 months ago Pegeen
Made them for Thanksgiving. I used Stilton. They were GONE before I had a chance to come out of the kitchen and taste one myself. I rolled 1/4 inch thick and used a 1-1/2 inch cutter, so I had around 2 dozen. The bottom of a 1/4 teaspoon, wet, made a good "indenter" for the jam.
5 months ago SPark0101
Made these tonight for the first time and think they are fantastic! A few notes: I cut 1"rounds and didn't use as much of the fig preserves as recommended, but the preserves still ran over. Next time, I'll roll the dough 1/4-inch thick and cut 1 1/2" rounds. It looks from the photos that A&M may have even used a 2" cutter.
Also, I used the blue cheese from Cowgirl Creamery and it was a little overpowering, so a milder blue might be better.
I ended up with about 70 savories.
Can't wait to make these again!

I just put the dough together last night, and it's BLUE. Anyone else have this smurfy result?
5 months ago susanne
yep, i used a standard multi-wire pastry cutter. cut the butter into the flour, as if for pie dough or other pastry. then cut in the gorgonzola the same way. it's very workable, just knead a few times to bring the last bits together.
5 months ago WoooPigSooie!
Has anyone made this dough without a food processor? Any tips or tricks?
5 months ago susanne
these are indeed easy and delicious. i used gorgonzola from costco, and added a half teaspoon of minced fresh rosemary instead of the black pepper. i also subbed a quarter cup of whole wheat flour for a quarter cup of the unbleached. i mixed the rosemary with the flours, cut in the cold butter with a wire pastry cutter, then cut in the gorgonzola. pressed into logs on plastic wrap, the dough chilled while the oven heated. i made about 70 bite-sized pastries. my husband and i like them so much, i quickly batched up most of them and delivered them to friends! only problem with this recipe: you will want to eat them all immediately.
5 months ago juleeclip
I made these for a birthday party recently (cookie cutter method). They were so incredibly easy to bake earlier in the day. After I tasted the first batch, I immediately made a second batch... these will be a staple at the holidays!

Since other kinds of ammunition worked perfectly both before and after the Winchester, it does seem to be that ammunition.
I have heard of a higher than normal number of failures to fire with the Winchester white box.
I was finishing up breaking in my Taurus PT-145 Millenium Pro today and I now stand at 510 rounds of multiple types with no failures to feed or eject...but while I was going thru a box of Winchester (white box) "Personal Protection" 230gr. JHP's I had 5 failures to fire on the first strike, all five fired on a second strike (love DAO)...but it kind of put me back. I examined as many cases as I could and all looked normal as far as I could tell (of course all had gone off, I probably should have ejected the misfires to check for light strikes, instead of pulling thru). I think I read somewhere that Winchester primers are "harder" than other's but a 10% failure rate, one round of every mag I shot, doesn't cut it as far as personal protection is concerned...it wound me up so much that I went and shot thru all the expensive makes of personal protection boxes I had (Hornady, Black Hills) just to make sure it was only the Winchester WB...nothing else failed to fire, now I'm out a bunch, but that's fine for peace of mind...anyone else have this type of experience with Winchester ammo, or a PT-145? I definately won't use SXT's after that performance.

Some guns just have problems with certian brands/types of ammo. As long as your chosen defense load works reliably its not a problem. You can still use the cheaper stuff for practice.
Give the Remington yellow box a try, about the same price as Winchester white box and it may be more reliable.
You also might consider reloading.
I have heard that a specific brand has hard primers, but I can't remember what the brand was...
I would still shoot a lot of ammo on other brands and KNOW that U have no other issues before relying on that gun for self-defense. Out of all the ammo and guns I have shot for years - I have only had 1 instance where I had to do the second strike - it was WWB, however...
Betcha' it was ammo.
The only thing that was concerning me was that I'd shot a good amount of WWB with my H&K and never had any failures to fire whatsoever, probably H&K has stronger firing springs, but the Taurus dents and trademark swipes, were deep on everything I could find (I was showering the next stall with brass, seems the Taurus goes about straight up and just a little bit over, no I wasn't holding it Gangsta style ) .
I still have another box of Winchester WB JHP's, so when I take them to the range I'm going to eject each failure and see that the dent looks like.
I've had absolutely ZERO other probelems with any of the other 5 types of ammo I've shot out of it.
I'd have to say it was an ammo issue. The only issues I have ever had with ammo was with Winchester white box and Blazer (aluminum and my Sig do not get along for some reason). But if the gun did fine with every other ammo before and after, figure on not buying Winchester anymore.
Well, remember - if the gun doesn't fire, wait a few moments before ejecting the round. I have heard of hangfires before... It SHOULDN"T go off w/o another hit from the firing pin if it didn't fire right away - but ya never know.
The ONE time it happened to me, I ejected the round, only messed w/ it for a sec or two
It's not uncommend to get a bad lot of ammo. It happens with all makes of ammo. Try some more and then see what happens. Winchester primers are extra hard somtimes. It's just the way they make them.
Hard primers are not always the problem, your second strike would be the same as the first for the strength of the firing pin--but if the primer was not set correctly on the first strike the anvil would not crush the primer--now if the first strike correctly seats the primer then the second strike will fire the round..I had this happen with some Winchester in the past
This does not worry me too much with factory ammo for practice--However I think you said this was personnel defense ammo--that I would stay away from for carry--
I had the same problem with Winchester ammo not to long ago. My XD 45 acp did the same thing. I bought the ammo at the range and when I told the owner he pulled all the Winchester ammo he had in 45 acp because others were having problems with it also. He said it was a bad lot and the other cal of Winchester was find. The last time I was there had no problem with the Winchester. I only carry ammo that I have tested and set it aside just for carry.
I had the same trouble with WWB in my Taurus pt-111, had to use the second strike capability of the Taurus and the round fired on the second strike. However I have never had a single problem with any other ammo through my Taurus and I have had no other problems with WWB in any other auto. Some guns just don't like some ammo, it is the nature of the beast.
You'll never read about it in the gun magazines, but at least one run of Millennium Pros had a primer-strike issue, and yours may be one of them. I believe Taurus stopped shipping them for a little while because of the issue, though it is apparently resolved now. Winchester primers aren't especially hard; it's CCI primers that are well-known for their hardness.
Whether it's the gun or the ammo, I'd just quit using the WWB and shoot Blazer or something else cheap for practice.

All opinions, particularly those involving politics and Glocks, are mine and not Galco's.
I've shot over 4,000 rounds of WWB in 9mm. There have been a few bad boxes. I wouldn't give up on it and restrict myself to one brand. Just keep shooting. It's still fun, right?
Since my range forbids aluminum or steel cased ammo, I use CCI Blazer Brass.(My local WalMart carries CCI Blazer brass) It's actually less expensive than WWB by a few cents. I have run approx 250 rounds through my PT145 and have had ZERO problems. Some of those were WWB, most were not. Personally, I don't like WWB. It's "OK" at best. I generally have accuracy issues from WWB whereas any other ammo isn't nearly as bad.Originally Posted by Mike Barham at Galco
Oh great, something else for me to worry about , I'd call Taurus and see what serial numbers had the problem, but I've already had a not so helpful customer service experience with them and I doubt the person I'd talk to would let me talk to someone who knows what they're talking aboutOriginally Posted by Mike Barham at Galco
Yep good stuff, that's what I use for range ammo too, I bought a case of .45 ACP for $8.99 a box at a local gun store's 4th of July sale. I won't use steel or aluminum cased ammo in my guns.Originally Posted by Thor
If you had the problems with only one type/box of ammo, I'd say it was an ammunition problem......
Never heard of that before! Any reason?Originally Posted by Thor
So they can collect all the brass casings and sell them to reloaders without having to sort through all the non-brass ones? Just guessing...
+1 Some ranges will send the brass off the recycler also.....they don't want any alum. or steel mixed in.Originally Posted by propellerhead
But they would still have to sort between the different calibers. :shrug:

It happens. Sometimes it can be a bad lot....? At times the brand (cases,...for jamming).
If this happens again, after you pull the trigger and the round doesn't go off. Wait a few seconds, then eject the round and see what the primer looks like. Did the firing pin hit it, does it look like the ones that did fire, is the hit the same depth? If you can, take a pic and post it for us. If you have several call or email the ammo manufacture and let them know what lot number you're using and what happened. They can't fix something they don't know about.Originally Posted by Buckeye

hoping its everything i read After 20 years the father of my children finally proposed.Ive been looking at dresses since April. I went to the store and tried on two which i liked both but when i seen this dress i immediately teared up!! While reading the reviews all i did was cry. I hope it fills my expectation!!! So anxious June 28, 2013
Everything I wanted! I saw this dress when i was looking online and fell in love with it! I knew as soon as i walked in to the store which dress i wanted. This was the first dress I tried on and the last. It was the perfect size and i didn't need ANY alterations at all. I loved the train and my favorite part was the lace up back. For those of you that are worried about stepping on the train at the reception, there is a string up under the dress for you to put on your wrist to hold the train up and it's not even uncomfortable...just a FYI tip. I received soooo many compliments and felt amazing in this dress....and by the way, my HUSBAND LOVED it!!! :) January 7, 2013
A dream come true! I dont wear dresses and i have a funny shape- big in the middle, small bust, no hips- so i was sure i wouldnt find a dress that i would like. This is actually the first dress i tried on. As soon as i stepped out, EVERYONE in my bridal party started crying, as well as myself. It gave me a great shape and i felt like a princess. No other dress held a candle to this one. Big girls- this one is definitely worth trying on! I can actually say, i looked great! Only drawback, lots of alterations. You HAVE to get a bustle put in this dress. The train will get trampled at your reception. But it is worth it! December 4, 2012
LOVE this dress!! After looking online, I had a couple of choices I wanted to try when I got to my appointment. This was my favorite, so in order to give other dresses a chance, I did not try it on first. After about 7 dresses or so, it was time to try this one. I could not stop the tears! I have never felt so beautiful! The fit was great and very flattering. And very important, it was really comfortable. It was the perfect dress for me! I am so excited to wear it at my wedding!!!

Hunt to fight dos Santos at UFC 160!
I'll be in England for 2 weeks in the summer and Ken Shamrock is fighting in Doncaster on the same day I'll be in the town. I don't for a second think the fight will actually go ahead but I'm strangely excited at the prospect of watching
If I only just posted the above post, please wait 5 mins before replying as there is bound to be edits

Forget Evans vs Henderson, that's gonna be a snooze-fest. There's one fight everyone needs to watch in the next few weeks, and it's happening in Poland. Mamed Khalidov vs Melvin Manhoef. It has the potential to be an absolute slug-fest. Manhoef is an absolute destroyer, and Khalidov has said he's going to stand with him and make it a fight. Khalidov is probably the best prospect currently fighting outside of the UFC, but he's going to have to be careful with Manhoef, the dude hits like a freight train. If you haven't seen his fight (hell, even if you have, go watch it again) with Evangelista Santos from Cage Rage, go watch it now. It's amazing. He's had so many epic fights, the fight with Santos, the insane fight with Robbie Lawler, he managed to KO Mark Hunt, and has blitzed Sakuraba and Misaki in Japan. He might not have the best win/loss record, but boy can he fight. He's one of those scary dudes that you just wouldn't want to stand across the cage from. There's no way I'd even consider taking one of those leg kicks. I'm so excited, maybe even more so than for Hunt vs JDS. I just hope Khalidov stands by his word and stands with Melvin.

Holy ****! Josh Burkman choked Jon Fitch unconscious last night. Rocked him with punches, sunk in a guillotine, and choked him out cold inside 2 minutes. Burkman's a legit bad mother****er. His last 3 fights have been a dominant decision over Gerald Harris, a TKO over Aaron Simpson, and a brutal submission of Jon Fitch. The man is on a fantastic run. The UFC will be coming calling for Mr Burkman, and he'll make a much deserved return, can't really argue with an 8-1 record since leaving the UFC!
Also, the UFC provided us with one of the most meh announcements in the history of MMA, by announcing the next series of TUF. Canada vs Australia features Patrick Cote and Kyle Noke as coaches, and will probably go down as the least watched, least interesting series in the history of the programme, and could be the final nail in it's coffin.
In other ****ty news, Pettis is injured, and out of the Aldo fight. Excited to see KZ go to war with Aldo, but was really excited for Aldo-Pettis. Hopefully now that this fight is off, Pettis can go back to LW and get his re-match with Benson, if Bendo gets past TJ Grant.

Holy ****!
Mazaghati such a dumbass though.
Yeah, at least Pettis can go back up where he belongs. Was a dumb, impatient move to begin with.
Weidman wasn't off his game at all. Weidman dominated. Anderson may have been trying to put him off, but what did he actually land? One decent leg kick, but everything else, especially in the second, missed Weidman. He showed tremendous head movement, wasn't intimidated by Anderson, and eventually caught him out. It showcased how good a gameplan Weidman had. When Anderson is doing his matrix moves, he typically ducks RLRL, and after throwing 2 right hands, Weidman knew Anderson would sway left, and caught him with that brutal left hand right on the jaw. It was superb work from Weidman. Dominated the first round with his wrestling, and was out striking Anderson in the second. I was a bit shell-shocked watching it yesterday morning, but on second watch, it just showcased just how good Chris Weidman was. Great performance.

Casa Grande Dispatch (Arizona) (02.06.13)
More than 3,000 Pinal County residents could be infected with hepatitis C and not realize it; however, if people adhered to last year's CDC recommendation, the state could identify many of those unknown carriers. In August 2011, CDC recommended that people born between 1945 and 1965 be tested for hepatitis C, since that age group—the baby boomers—makes up approximately 75 percent of known U.S. cases. Shoana Anderson, office chief of the Arizona Department of Health Services' (ADHS's) infectious disease division, says that Arizona does not have data showing how many state residents have been screened since the CDC recommendation; they get reports of positive cases, but do not know how many people have been tested.
ADHS states that Arizona has approximately 80,000 hepatitis C cases of, but estimates that 30,000 people remain undiagnosed. Each year, the department receives 8,000 reports of new positive cases. In 2011, Pinal County recorded 135 newly diagnosed hepatitis C cases, not counting cases diagnosed among prisoners. According to Graham Briggs, administrator for Pinal County Public Health Services' infectious diseases and epidemiology section, the numbers can be misleading, as many possible carriers have not yet been tested. Briggs expects that the real number of Pinal County chronic infections is similar to the estimated national numbers, and may be in the range of approximately 3,800 infections.
CDC estimates that 3.2 million people are infected with hepatitis C. It is thought that many became infected in the 1970s and 1980s. Not all county health departments offer hepatitis C testing, including Pinal County, where clinics do not provide routine hepatitis C testing but do test known contacts of hepatitis C carriers. When Pinal County receives a positive case report, they perform an investigation and make contacts. Doctors then test and evaluate at-risk people. Cheryl Mossing, Casa Grande Regional Medical Center's laboratory director, says Casa Grande can draw blood for the hepatitis C test, but only with a mandatory physician's order, and blood samples are evaluated off-site. Also, hepatitis C testing is not part of the hospital's community wellness testing program; physicians must initiate the testing. Mossing notes that since CDC's new recommendation began last August, the facility has not seen an increase in physician orders for the test.

ESPN insider expects Ray Horton to get head coaching interviews
Horton has helped transform one of the league's worst defenses into one of its best over the last two seasons, and a feat like that is not likely to go unrecognized or unrewarded.
There is some thought that perhaps the Cardinals, should they decide to part ways with Ken Whisenhunt, may look to promote the second-year coordinator.
If Whisenhunt stays, though, given the fact that Horton interviewed with the St. Louis Rams for their top job before the team chose Jeff Fisher, it stands to reason his name will be brought up when other openings arise.
"I think he can get one or two interviews, which I think is merited," ESPN NFL insider John Clayton told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Thursday. "I don't necessarily know if he's, at this stage, ready to get a head coaching job."
listen Listen: John Clayton, NFL Writer and ESPN Reporter
John Clayton joins Doug and Wolf to talk about this week in the NFL. Does John believe Ray Horton will get Head coaching considerations? John does not believe that Alex Smith can bring the 49ers to the Super Bowl. Does this mean Colin Kaepernick can lead the Niners to the "promise land"? And, John tells us why Jason Babin was cut by the Eagles. Plus, is Ben Roethlisberger going to be available this Sunday?
"Clearly he's put himself in a position to get the interview," Clayton said. "Ray will go and use those interviews as a good education so that he can gear himself and be ready.
"I still remember talking to a lot of young coaches and the big thing is OK, it's nice to get a job, but it's better to get a job when you're ready to be the head coach."
Clayton said Horton has learned very fast, as he was a position coach as recently as two years ago.

Boasting one of the highest Special stats in the game along with the most powerful special move in OU, Blizzard, there's no denying that Articuno is a powerhouse. OHKOing Golem and Rhydon and 2HKOing Exeggutor are feats few Pokemon can muster, but Blizzard allows Articuno to do just that. It can force switches and deal heavy damage throughout the match, softening up your opponent's team and possibly causing a freeze. It can even make for a very nice end-game sweeper by boosting its mediocre base 85 Speed with Agility and blasting away with its STAB Blizzard, potentially getting a freeze in the process.
Why isn't Articuno an OU standard, then? Again, its Speed stat is frustratingly low, as it is not able to outspeed Pokemon like Tauros and Alakazam without a boost, while both are capable of paralyzing Articuno. It is walled to kingdom come by the many OU Pokemon that resist Blizzard, namely Lapras, Starmie, Cloyster, and to an extent, Slowbro, as well as Chansey with its massive 250/105 Special bulk. Its movepool is shallow as well, as it leaves Articuno relying on mediocre Ice / Normal coverage, the latter of which runs off its so-so Attack stat. Lapras has several advantages over Articuno as an Ice-type, with higher HP stat and much better coverage and utility with Confuse Ray, Body Slam, and Thunderbolt. However, even Lapras can never dream of matching the raw power of Articuno's Blizzard. All-in-all, if you are looking to unleash a nasty surprise on your opponent, don't overlook Articuno.
The best way to get Articuno on the field is to switch it in when you predict that your opponent will switch in Exeggutor; if it has lost over 33% of its health already, Blizzard is a guaranteed KO. It can also switch in on a predicted Earthquake from Snorlax or Tauros, dealing heavy damage with Blizzard and hopefully causing a freeze. Rhydon and Golem are a bit harder to switch in on, as Rock Slide will KO Articuno, but if you are fortunate enough to switch in on Earthquake, Blizzard will OHKO both. Rest and Reflect allow Articuno to hang around for a long time with its already high Special, allowing it fire off more Ice Beams and Blizzards for a free chance. Ice Beam is solely for more PP and a freeze chance against Chansey, as well as a more accurate attack for when you absolutely need a hit, but Mimic can be used to copy Starmie's and Lapras's Thunderbolts and fire them right back.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Double-Edge and Hyper Beam can be used to damage Lapras and other Water-types, but the extent of their use ends there.
Checks and Counters
Although Articuno's Blizzard is a frosty nuke and no Pokemon enjoys a freeze, there are quite a few solid counters to it. Lapras is the best Articuno counter, as it 4x resists Blizzard. Once it's in, it can wear down Articuno with repeated Thunderbolts or Body Slams or, if it has a free turn, use Confuse Ray on a switch-in. Everything about Starmie makes Articuno's life difficult. It 2x resists Blizzard and can attack with repeated Thunderbolts, paralyze either Articuno or the switch-in with Thunder Wave (except for Rhydon and Golem, who have no business facing a Starmie anyway), and then use any free turns to Recover. Cloyster also 4x resists Blizzard and has a ton of physical bulk, allowing it to absorb any physical attacks that Articuno might be running, then threaten either Articuno or a switch-in with Clamp, Blizzard, or Explosion. Chansey is as good a special wall as ever, paralyzing Articuno while firing off Thunderbolts or recovering with Softboiled, but it should be healthy and preferably paralyzed to block a freeze. It also takes 37.9 - 44.6% from Hyper Beam, so it has little hope in getting the chance to use Softboiled if its health is low. Alakazam can also use Thunder Wave, Recover off any damage, and spam Psychic until Articuno eventually faints, but it is 3HKOed by Blizzard, providing it with little time to do all of these things. Finally, Slowbro is a decent Pokemon to send out against Articuno one-on-one because it can paralyze it with Thunder Wave, but switching in is not recommended because it takes about 50% from two Blizzards before it even has a chance to move.

October 25th, 2010
There has been a lot of important climate news in recent weeks and months. In addition to record warmth, an unusually active Atlantic hurricane season, and a devastating string of extreme weather events in the U.S. and around the world, Arctic sea ice has reached a new low in its total volume.
The ice covering the Arctic Ocean goes through a seasonal cycle in which it expands during the winter, reaching its maximum extent in March, and shrinks during the summer, reaching its minimum extent in September. Satellites have been observing the daily coverage of sea ice since 1979, during which time the summer minimum has declined rapidly over the decades. In 2007, the summer minimum dropped by a startling amount compared to previous summers, generating an iconic graph that was splashed across blogs and newspapers around the world (Figure 1). This record still holds, although every year since 2007 has seen below-average summer minima.

Excelente encordoamento recomendo!
I bought a bunch of these strings with the intention of changing them out when they got dull or tarnished... Still waiting... These strings do play well and last!
Since I started to use ghs I always used them. This means for 29 years Rock n' Roll as Bass or Guitar player with superbe sounding strings on stage and in the Studio. Thanks !
My shop only uses GHS strings.Every type instrument,every time.Not all strings are created equal.
I've been playing GHS Boomers for 2 years now. So far I've tried many other string brands but just now I could say I've finally found the best. GHS Boomers are quality product for a great price.
Bought 2 sets , 1 for my LP and one for my Strat.
less abrasive on frets and fingers...been using them for the last 11 years, my old strings used to chew right through my frets having to crown them annually and eventually replace them..
I've used these strings for over 20 years. Hard to break and sound great.
Title says all.
First time with GHS Boomers, will try some more!

Experience James Turrell's Latest 'Skyspace' at UT
By Mike Lee
Over the past quarter century or so, renowned artist James Turrell has created dozens of experiential artworks known as Skyspaces around the world. They're rooms designed to give viewers an uncorrupted view of the sky -- just the sky, with no horizons, buildings, or trees visible to get between viewer and sky.
Turrell's first Skyspace was opened in Queens, NY, in 1986; since then, Skyspaces have been built across the US, as well as in the UK, Israel, Australia, and myriad other locations. His latest Skyspace, called The Color Inside, is part of Landmarks, UT Austin's public art program.
It's now open to the public at its permanent home in the rooftop garden of the Austin Student Activity Center at 2201 Speedway.

Purchased the tiller and it only lasted 1.5 years. Problem with this tiller is the transmission housing is a one piece unit made of white metal. Right at the shaft connection is a weak point in the housing. Went to use the tiller and the whole tiller portion fell off the bottom of the unit. Can't just replace the housing as the transmission is a one piece unit. Repair shop looked at the gears and commented they were brand new, they were - less than 50 hrs total. Problem was, to replace the transmission was as much as a new tiller. So a piece of advice if you buy this tiller. It is a great economical tiller but MUST be baby'd when transporting or using. Heavy rocks in the soil or moving it by running it on the tines instead of tilting it and using the rear wheels will break the transmission housing at the tiller shaft. Repair shop told me this was a very common problem with this model.

The Brewers have acquired right-hander Burke Badenhop from the Rays for Raul Mondesi Jr., the team announced. Milwaukee has made finding bullpen help a priority this offseason.
Badenhop, 29, pitched to a 3.03 ERA with 6.1 K/9 and 1.7 BB/9 in 62 1/3 innings for the Rays this season. He excels at generating ground balls (52.9%) and keeping right-handed batters in check (.239/.260/.350 this year), though lefties give him a tough time (.300/.356/.488). Badenhop is arbitration-eligible for the third time this offseason, and Matt Swartz projects a $1.6MM salary for next year.
Mondesi, 20, is the son of the former big leaguer by the same name. The outfielder hit .231/.282/.374 with five homers and eight steals in 298 plate appearances down in Rookie ball this summer. Baseball America did not rank him as one of the Brewers' top 30 prospects before the season in their 2012 Prospect Handbook.

I actually liked Badenhop's arm.

Per Rosenthal:
Cubs sign Fujikawa.
The Rays most really like Mondesi's tools, because Badenhop ain't bad and he isn't going to make that much money.
Rays got a pretty good deal IMO
From Tim Brown via Twitter...
The Rays appear to be close to signing James Loney. Good fit there.
If the Angels lose out on Greinke.
Look at the differences in their rotations from 2012 to 2013
1. Weaver
2. Greinke
3. Wilson
4. Haren
5. Santana
