The Roman Empire was located throughout the seven hills just south of the Tiber River. It was made of Europe, Northern Africa, South Western Asia, as well as Britain. Provinces and Regions in the Roman Empire include: Italy, Sicily, Gaul, Spain, Egypt, Asia Mino, and Judea. Cities in the Roman Empire include: Carthage, Athens, Jerusalem, Byzantium and Constantinople. As some may already know, The Roman Empire is no more. So, now there is only Rome and it's separate Continents. Other places that covered the Roman Empire include: Europe, Asia, and Africa. Rome copied other civilizations ways and then adapted them to make it their own. The Romans always used the Tiber River for Transportation. As well as for trading and drinking water. The flat and fertile soil that Rome had was used so that crops could grow easily. Also warm climate and lots of rainfall was good for crops. Since they were near an ocean as well as many rivers it provided fertile land for the people of Rome.
|This map shows where the Roman Empire is loacted.
The Romans were not geographically isolated from the other civilizations whatsoever. They were in between both the Greek and Etruscan civilizations. Also, they have been trading with China, Spain, France, Britain, the middle East, as well as North America. So, they have had contact with others. The Roman Empire had actually overtaken many near by civilizations, but there were still some around.
The seven hills of Rome were sort of like different neighborhoods that we live in today. Different types of people lived around the same hill. The rich lived near a different hill than the slaves of Rome. The seven hills included: The Quirinal, Capitoline, Palatine, Esquiline, Aventine, Caelian, and the Viminal hills.
There were far too many mountains in the Roman Empire to list. Although, shockingly there were not any in he city of Rome. The Carpathian Mountains were the largest range of mountains in Europe. Other mountains in the Roman Empire
included: The Alps Mountains, Atlas Mountains, Arabian Plateau, Caucasus Mountains, Carpathian Mountains, as well as the Apennine Mountains.
There were many bodies of water in Roman. Sea's included: The Aegean Sea, the Black Sea, the Red Sea, the Adriatic Sea, the Baldric Sea, the Caspian Sea, The Tyrrenian Sea, and of course the Mediterranean Sea. Rivers included: The Tiber River, The Rhine River, The Danube River, The Nile River, The Golf De Toronto, The Strait of Sicily, The Elbe River, and The Vistula River. There was really only on main ocean though, and this was the Atlantic Ocean. Out of all these bodies of water, probably the most important one would be the Tiber River. This is because The Romans used this river for drinking water, growing crops, trade, and transportation. There was only one main desert in The Roman Empire and that was the Sahara Desert. Also, I think I forgot to mention that there were also many many volcanoes in the Roman Empire. Although, very few were still activated. And, none had erupted in several hundred years.
Time Period
The Roman Empire was discovered around 100 BC. They emerged as a civilization in 55 BCE. The monarch lasted from about 753 BC to around 476 AD. The Republic lasted from around 510 BC to about 27 BC. And, the Empire was around from 27 BC to 476 AD. The Roman Empire was at there peak in around 117 CE. When they were at there greatest extent they owned over 6.5 million km. Also, when they were at their peek they held most power. They had peace, law and order in their lives at this time.
From 27 CE to 476CE The Roman generals fight for control and power in Rome. Then, after a long and restless war, Rome becomes a dictatorship, and the emperor holds all power.From 509 BCE to 27 BCE The Romans overthrow Etruscans around 509 BCE. Then, the Romans set up the republic and the people held all power. Also, all the citizens of Rome had right to vote, and the first laws were established.
From 800 to 509 BCE The Kingdom had taken part, and the right to rule was inherited. The Etruscan monarchs ruled Rome. Monarchy is when Kings or Queens rule, and that's exactly what happened in this time period.
The Roman Empire was around for approximately 1000 years. There Empire started falling in around 190 AD. After 1000 years, The end of The Roman Empire occurred in 476 CE. They fell because of many reasons. Poor harvests, trade disruption, no war plunder, inflation, high taxes, big gaps between the rich and the poor, diseases, food shortages, invasions from tribes, low funds for defense, not enough soldiers, low patriotism as well as low loyalty towards the empire.
Roman Timeline in 29 seconds:
Ancient Roman government changed throughout the many years that Rome thrived as an ancient civilization. Throughout the approximate 723 years of Ancient Rome, the civilization endured 3 main stages of government.
The first of the three main stages of Government was "The Kingdom". This government type was formed as a Monarch. Ancient Rome, during this period of time was ran from the perspective of a King or Queen. Each King or Queen would have inherited the throne of Ancient Rome by his or her ancestors. This Government phase lasted from 800,BC to 509,BC . It was also the shortest phase of Roman government, lasting a mere 291 years.
|S.P.Q.R Roman Government Abriviation
The second main phase of Ancient Roman government took place from 509,BC right into year 27,AD. This phase was called "The Roman Republic". This government phase was a strict democratic time. This time, was the phase in which the early laws were established in Ancient Rome. These laws consisted with fairness. Examples of these laws are: A dreadfully deformed child shall be quickly killed. If a father sell his son three times, the son shall be free from his father. Let the protector of a landholder be a landholder; for one of the proletariat, let anyone that cares, be protector. If illness or old age is the hindrance, let the summoner provide a team. He need not provide a covered carriage with a pallet unless he chooses. If he shirks or runs away, let the summoner lay hands on him. If anyone summons a man before the magistrate, he must go. If the man summoned does not go, let the one summoning him call the bystanders to witness and then take him by force.
The third and last of the main government types in Ancient Rome was called "The Roman Empire". The Roman Empire, unlike the other government types; took place during war. Romans thought that in these harsh times a democratic government would be best to eliminate power over each other in result of yet another war. Even with a democratic government, Romans were conducted by an Emperor. It was this emperor that held all the power; if one man held all power, others wouldn't have to fight for power. Throughout time, 'The Empire' became a dictatorship and held strong during the war. This period of Roman government took place from 27,AD through 476,AD.
Each Roman government time stage was unique in it's own way, although they did share one big idea. Ancient Rome was built upon the government of an Emperor, A Dictator and three powerful branches. The emperor, as you know ruled mostly though "The Roman Empire". The Dictator, ruled mostly though "The Roman Republic" The three branches of government of Roman Empire were named 1. Executive Branch. 2. Legislative Branch. 3. Judicial Branch.
First of them all, The Executive Branch was conducted by two leaders. One of which were the Mayors, Tax collectors and Police officers. These men worked as Executive Leaders in Ancient Rome to keep together law and justice. The second of the leaders were 'The Consuls'. The Consuls also ordered the Roman Army and conducted war. The Consuls were supervised by 'The Senate' which brings me to the next branch.
The Legislative Branch was organized with a Senate. The Senate consisted of about 300 willing men and was also the most powerful of the branches. Not only did 'The Senate' supervise 'The Consuls' they also appointed them as well. The Senate also kept order to the Consuls spending and war procedures. It was the Senates job to make sure that things were kept in order in accordance with the 3 branches.
The third and final branch was called the 'Judicial Branch'. The Judicial Branches purpose was to create court rooms to decide the fate and punishment of the accused. The Judicial Branch had 6 judges that were elected every 2 years. The Judicial branch is much like today's courts and law programs.
Rise and Fall
Rome emerged as a civilization in 500 BCE and reached it's greatest extend in 117 CE. They conquered many other civilizations such as Europe, Asia, Africa, and Carthage. The Roman Empire was built on slave labor and the conquest of other nations. Britannia (England), Hispania (Spain), Gual/Gallia (France), Achaea (Greece), Judea (Middle East), and the Northern Africa Coastal Region were also conquered by Rome along with Etruscans in 509 BCE. Rome's golden age started in 117 AD. They had control over Europe, northern Africa, and the Middle East, and had more wealth and power than any other civilization. They learned new skills from the Greeks and Etruscans, and the mountains protected them from invaders. It was easy for them to travel since they lived by the Tiber River, they had enough water and food, and lived in a great location.
Rome was becoming an extremely large country, and eventually expanded so far that they couldn't protect their land. They got attacked by fierce tribes, fought over who would rule, and started getting into financial problems. There were wars against the Immigration Barbarians, and Visigoth Odoacer & his men. No one knows exactly why this civilization fell, but it was said to have been when The Turks had a war against Rome in AD 1453. The Roman Empire may have stayed in power if it had a better geographic location, such as being closer to communication and if it hadn't have gotten so big.
Fall of the Roman Empire Video:
Trade was a big part in the Roman Empire. They imported many things as seen in the chart below. They did not export as much as they had imported. Their main exports were wine and olive oil but they also traded bricks. They did trade by land if it was only a short distance otherwise they would use the oceans and rivers, such as the Tiber River and the Mediterranean Sea, for transportation of the goods that were traded. The Roman Empires location was a great help to their trading because they were such a big empire. Since they took up such a large amount of land they had many other countries surrounding them that they were able to trade with. Slaves helped bring trading goods to other civilizations. The economy of the empire was based upon social classes. It was some what made up of two different classes, citizens and non-citizens. There was also a social class with in these two social classes. Slaves being close to the bottom, senators and equities being near the top of the citizen class. Twenty percent of the population was slaves but it all depended on the slave labor. The free people were also low on the scale of social classes because they did not really belong to anyone and did not really have their roots planted in a certain place.

|The Roman calendar
Ancient Romans are famous for their great structures and achievements. These great structures needed a good foundation to last for many years. When Ancient Romans first started building chapels and roads they used the concrete that they innovated. The formed this concrete into blocks and stacked them like you would stack a brick chimney. Sewage installations were placed underground and all through the buildings for less garbage blockage. Ancient Romans also were one of the fist Civilizations to use aqueducts (bridges with huge arches) The Ancient Roman aqueducts and well designed roads got them on the path to building great things such as the Colosseum and the Parthenon, which you will learn more about later.
Ancient Romans worked through and on a calendar. Their calendars were

|Ancient Roman Temple
After the rain of one of Rome's emperors, Augustus, the Roman people believed that the emperors were gods so they started worshipping the emperors. They still worshipped their many gods at the same time though because what is one more god if you already have around 20 major gods already? The Romans did not like the Jews and Christians because they did not believe and worship their gods so they decided to kill as many of them as they could. Other wise take them into slavery and take over their countries. To prepare a person for the after life the family members would put in coins to pay C haron. They also put in food, jewelry and cosmetics. The sarcophagus was usually decorated with a picture of the deceased person. The ancient Romans thought it was very important that their loved ones were buried properly other wise they would be denied at the entrance to the underworld and would spend an eternity in purgatory-like existence.
The Roman's did believe in life after death and the way to pass into the after life was very complicated. They believed that after the person died they were met by the messenger god, Mercury, so that he can take them to the river Styx. When they arrived at the river they had to pay the ferryman, Charon, a coin or two in order to cross. At the other side of the river they were met by Minos, Aenaeus, and Rhadymanthas to be judged.
Though they believed in the after life they did not believe in eternal malediction. After being judged if they were some kind of hero or warrior they were sent to the Fields of Elysuim or if they were just an ordinary person they were sent to the Plain of Asphodel. If you were judged to have committed a crime against society you would be sent to Tartarus to be tortures by Furies your dept to society has been paid. All three of these places in the underworld were ruled by Pluto, a brother of Jupiter.

The Romans were recognized for their arts back in roman times. Romans also made many forms of art from many new and interesting materials. They made cloth, mosaics, objects from pottery, as well as making art using different materials such as silver, glass, plates, and vases. The Romans loved to entertain. The Colosseum was where shows and plays were put on by actors. These actors were actually played by slaves in the Roman Empire. The slaves loved to entertain, and the audience found theses plays very entertaining. They had wild animal shows, new and enjoyable plays put on, as well as chariot racing throughout the Colosseum.
The roman empires main form of art included: sculptures, buildings, theaters, as well as many new crafts. Crafts included pottery, making mosaics, cloth, and sometimes even quilting. Women made crafts in their spare time when they weren't busy doing housework or taking care of the family.
The Pantheon was best known in the Roman Empire. The Pantheon meant "the temple to all gods." The Colosseum was another important building in Rome. Plays and shows were always preformed at the Colosseum, it was a very important structure in the Empire of Rome. Also entertainment was put on at the Theater not too far from the Colosseum. Although, most were performed at the Colosseum.
|Roman Art
We know that the Romans valued art greatly because they built theaters to enjoy entertainment that was in store for them. Theses buildings were built so people of Rome could experience the arts.Also, we know that Rome valued art because they had time for it, so obviously it was a big part of their lives. People today have learned about theater and arts through the Romans.

Sarah Palin Doll = Voodoo Doll
Sarah Palin's from Alaska, B.D. She won't mind the freezer.
She can see the cooling coils from here.
I wish the GOP would do that …
She'll be able to see "ice land" from her new home.
Yeah, but she quit her cushy job up there for the chance to run around bothering unsuspecting citizens in the Lower 48.
That's what I might have said if I hadn't slipped on the "ice".
Sam needs a Michelle doll to throw in the freezer to keep Sarah company.
She needs to be near the transubstaniated holy water in the event her camera crew arrives to get the shot. Good work Sam. You are her equal.
Heaven help you professor if you ever lectured on the East Coast. you would never get tenure. "Woman's Studies" never mention Salome, Jezebel, or Marie Antoinette. However they praise madame Curie (Grandmother to the atomic bomb), Queen Victoria (World's biggest warmonger), and Eleanor (Forced FDR to sign socialist bills when he was disabled).
Remember, Ivy league means liberal arts and liberal means——
Suggestion: quit ragg'n on Palin. There are more import GOP relics to put in the freezer.
The professor has it right. I am a life long Democrat, WW2 vet, workded 60 years without union or government help I have become ashamed of the libs who took over my party a few decades ago. They trash people like Sarah Palin, who paid for her ofwn college education, and worship Barack and Michelle who had most of their education paid for by tax money from workers. I don't agree with Hillary on many issues, but I have never stooped to calling her vile names or wishing her or her family harm. End of an old fellows rant.
Frozen bimbo? I like it.
ProfGas, those of us who criticize Sarah Palin and Representative Bachmann do so, because we love America, we love the world, we love reason, and we love intelligence. The positions of Palin & Bachmann are not good for America or for the world.
Neither Palin nor Bachmann uses reason or intelligence. They are visibly stupid people who use demagoguery to rouse their followers.
If you recall, we criticized Bush-Dick for these same qualities. You should stop playing the sex card and stop fantasizing about Palin, Bachmann, and the liberal media.
Neither Palin nor Bachmann has any interest in you, excepting your checkbook, and there is no liberal media. The media are right-stream, which is the reason that both of your beloved politicians are in our faces so much of the time.
Prof your right the left also hates black conservatives. Clarence Thomas & even though Juan Williams is on the left not nearly far enough for the media so he is demonized to.

I am using an ASP.NET/C#
<asp:DataList ID="EquipmentList" RepeatColumns="5".....
I have the following line inside the
<ItemTemplate> tag:
<a href=""`><%# {I want to put something here but dont know how} %> </a>
In my code behind I have a
NameValueCollection variable that contains all strings:
NameValueCollection myListofStrings = //calling a method here that populates myListofStrings
this.EquipmentList.DataSource = myListofStrings;
Please can someone tell me how to bind this
NameValueCollection variable to my
DataList tag in the markup? Also additional knowledge on how to bind a
DataList to a
IList<> would be helpful.
Thank you all. but for now what do I write inside the tag if lets say I have to bind to a 1NameValueCollection1 variable like in my case above. It has no properties or columns so I cannot write anything like
Eval("propertyname") which is the answer that most here gave me. It is just like I am binding it to an array of strings.
So what do I write now?

This project will show how the Microsoft Kinect can be modified to be used as an infrared (IR) camera.
The Kinect is a peripheral for the Xbox 360 console that allows a user to interact with the Xbox 360 without touching a controller. A general description of the Kinect is that it is a depth camera. This means that you can place objects in front of it, and it will compute the distance from it to the objects, thus creating a depth image. Therefore, the Kinect can provide the locations of objects in an image relative to itself, and this information can be used in a variety of projects. Also, the Kinect contains many components that, with slight modifications, can be used for new purposes. As an example, this project will show how the Kinect can be used as an infrared (IR) camera.
For a detailed description of how the Kinect works and how it can be used in different projects, I recommend that you read Making Things See by Greg Borenstein (http://shop.oreilly.com/product/06369200…). The image in Step 1 shows the components of the Kinect that are necessary to understand this project. The IR projector shines a grid of IR dots on the objects in front of it. We are not able to see the dots, but the IR camera can detect them. Using the pattern of dots on each object, the Kinect is able to compute the depth image. The final component is an RGB camera that is similar to a standard webcam.
NOTE: Once you have successfully installed the software for connecting the Kinect to your computer, the only required steps for completing this project are: 1) block the IR projector, 2) build and mount a replacement IR light source (with a center wavelength near 830 nm), and 3) experiment. The details of my apparatus and experiment are provided, but I encourage you to modify the details based on the parts and equipment that you have available and based on the things that you wish to image. Happy building!

In our application we use Boost libraries (and ASIO for network communications).
Recently, we discovered that if we're sending our data from different threads via same socket, our client application is receiving garbaged data.
Small test to highlight the issue:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <boost/thread.hpp>
#include <boost/asio.hpp>
void send_routine(boost::shared_ptr<boost::asio::ip::tcp::socket> s, char c)
std::vector<char> data(15000, c);
for (int i=0; i<1000; i++)
boost::asio::write(*s, boost::asio::buffer(&data[0], data.size()));
int main()
using namespace boost::asio;
using namespace boost::asio::ip;
try {
io_service io_service;
io_service::work work(io_service);
const char* host = "localhost";
const char* service_name = "18000";
tcp::resolver resolver(io_service);
tcp::resolver::query query(tcp::v4(), host, service_name);
tcp::resolver::iterator iterator = resolver.resolve(query);
auto socket = boost::shared_ptr<tcp::socket>(new tcp::socket(io_service));
boost::thread t1(send_routine, socket, 'A');
boost::thread t2(send_routine, socket, 'B');
boost::thread t3(send_routine, socket, 'C');
catch (std::exception& e) {
printf("FAIL: %s\n", e.what());
return 0;
So, we create socket here, connect to
localhost:18000 and start 3 threads which will write to the socket.
In different terminal window, I run
nc -l -p 18000 | tee out.txt | sort | uniq | wc -l. I expect
3 as output, but it returns more then 100 "different strings" in the network stream (so, data is corrupted). But it works with small buffer sizes (if we'll change
15000 to
80, for example).
So, the question is: is it a correct behavior of ASIO library? And another: how to fix it? Should I use
mutex inside my
send_routine function (or there is another solution)?

I've got an idea: what if his boss, sensing it's a lost cause and realizing the backlash that's coming his way, ordered Westneat to write that to help the paper save face.
Danny was washing Frank's Lexus in the parking lot this morning.
With his tongue.
I think Gomez has nailed it.
I don't think so. I like Danny Westneat, and I seriously doubt (a) Frank would want ANY of his writers opposing 920; and (b) Westneat would stoop to that. Even today Westneat wrote in opposition to Prop. 1, which the editorial board supports.
It's refreshing to see someone who still has guts.
Westneat's a good writer and a better columnist; all the more unfortunate for someone with his experience to justify specific taxes based revenue allocation.
Remember the latte tax? Opponents (rightly) decoupled its worthwhile cause, early child education, from the tax method itself.
Argue for or against the estate tax, just don't make the same mistake as latte tax fans. A cause's perceived funding importance doesn't affect whether a tax method is valid.

A shriveled piece of intestine is all that remains of the unfortunate soul who died in Philadelphia's 1849 outbreak of cholera. Researchers do not even know his name.
Yet after sophisticated computer analysis, the patient's yellowish tissue has yielded a wealth of information: the DNA of his killer.
The genome of this cholera strain, which claimed more than 1,000 lives, was described in a new study in the New England Journal of Medicine.
The findings will be of no immediate help to doctors who treat the modern form of the disease, a waterborne illness that still plagues developing countries with inadequate sanitation. The results, however, show the 19th-century Philadelphia strain of bacteria was not so different from its modern cousin, offering clues as to how the microbe has tweaked itself to remain a deadly fixture in the human experience.

Congress provides $2 million to fight salt water in Bayou Lafourche
Published: Saturday, November 10, 2001 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 9, 2001 at 11:00 p.m.
A joint House and Senate conference committee Thursday night approved $2 million for efforts to stymie saltwater intrusion in Bayou Lafourche.
The conference committee approved a final version of the Commerce, Justice, State Appropriations Bill, which included the local money. The bill, which cannot be altered after conference committee approval, now must receive final approval from the House and Senate.
Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., was instrumental allocating the money in the bill.
"I have been very concerned about the condition of the Bayou Lafourche since my last visit there last summer," Landrieu said. "The saltwater intrusion in Bayou Lafourche was a problem that I was immediately committed to addressing."
Last summer and fall, Bayou Lafourche incurred high salinity levels that threatened drinking water supplies in Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes and caused Valentine Paper to cease operations until salinity levels dropped.
According to Archie Chaisson, the director of the Bayou Lafourche Freshwater District, the money will be used to construct a water-control structure on Company Canal near Lockport, where most of the saltwater entered the bayou.
"This is fantastic news for us," Chaisson said.
The structure will likely be a swinging barge, which will be located in Company Canal at a site directly behind Lockport, Chaisson said.
If the bill is approved, design work on the structure could begin in January.
"Hopefully we'll have something in place by the middle of next summer," Chaisson said.
Landrieu said the structure will not only help the bayou's ecosystem, but protect fresh drinking water supplies for about 300,000 residents. Bayou Lafourche supplies drinking water for all of Lafourche and Assumption parishes and much of Terrebonne.
The money will be administered through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
"This is a very important project for Lafourche and Terrebonne parishes," Landrieu said. "I am pleased that I was able to help the Bayou Lafourche Freshwater District."
In related news, Rep. Billy Tauzin, R-Chackbay, and Rep. David Vitter, R-Metairie, jointly announced funding for local projects in the final draft of the Veterans Administration, Department of Housing and Urban Development bill.
The bill includes $200,000 for the Bayou Lafourche project, $100,000 for St. James Parish water and sewer improvements, $100,000 for Thibodaux water and sewer improvements, $100,000 for the Grand Isle Civic Center, and $100,000 for renovations to the community swimming pool in Golden Meadow.

"Secret Warriors" is the latest series to spin out of the conclusion of a Marvel crossover, following the tradition of the surprisingly successful âAvengers: The Initiativeâ -- even going so far as to nab the artist of that series for itself! The issue features Nick Fury and his team of âCaterpillarâ operatives -- the titular âSecret Warriorsâ -- following their disappearance at the end of Secret Invasion.
While Bendis co-wrote the issue, his voice is no stronger than Hickmanâs in the telling of it -- indeed, substantially less so, if anything, as the script is quite clearly Hickmanâs from the outset. Stefano Caselli proves that heâs a worthy part of such a high-profile launch by turning in some excellent pages, imbuing Nick Fury with all the screen (er. . . page) presence of classic movie stars like Clint Eastwood. Fury might not be the sole star of the book, but his appearances make it obvious that heâs going to be the driving force behind it.
While âSecret Warriorsâ does spin out of âSecret Invasion,â the storyline itself is more stand-alone than you might think. Clearly, there was a need to explain why Fury would keep these characters around even following the removal of the Skrull threat, and Bendis and Hickman have managed to establish such a need early on, smartly justifying the bookâs existence before readers have cause to wonder why itâs around. If only all comic launches were as convincing.
Following the main story, Hickman provides page after page of supplemental material delivering background information pertinent to this series, all of which is delivered in his highly original and recognizable âinfo-graphâ style. Usually, Marvelâs tendency to pad out issues with handbook-style information feels a bit unnecessary, but Hickmanâs unique work makes it almost justifiable in this case.
Like all good issues, âSecret Warriors #1â ends on a cliffhanger revelation strong enough to bring you back next month, but be warned: itâs a real doozy. Usually when youâre told that the ending of an issue will have severe consequences for the Marvel Universe, itâs easy to assume that itâs just marketing hype -- but in this case, it truly is a massive shift that calls into question a huge amount of Marvelâs history. You can guarantee that itâs going to cause some fairly heated reactions, and either way, if it gets people talking about this new series, that can only be a positive thing in the long run.

Vision is not enough, we need a route map to build sustainable economies
Article from The Guardian – Jo Confino for the Guardian Professional Network
A new report from the WBCSD sets out the steps needed to accelerate the pace of change in addressing social, ecological and economic challenges.
We are living in deeply frustrating times. The enormous scale of social, ecological and economic challenges are staring us in the face, many of the potential solutions are already known, and yet global society continues hurtling Lemming-like to the edge of the precipice.
One of the key reasons for this extreme level of denial is that so few people are able to articulate a future in which nine billion people can live in peace and prosperity within the ecological limits of Mother Earth.
So it is welcome that the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), a coalition of 200 progressive companies with combined revenues of $7tn (£4.4tn), has moved beyond just visioning a sustainable future to creating a pathway to achieving this elusive goal in a new report called 'Changing Pace'.
Peter Bakker, president of the WBCSD, says: "As a world society, we have not started the deep transformation that is required. Progress is no more than sporadic. And every year, it becomes harder to catch up.
"Vision alone is not sufficient. The role of business is to innovate and provide sustainable solutions; there is no shortage of innovation and capacity to do more. But sustainable business solutions can only create an impact at the speed and scale required by the transformation, if the right mix of policy initiatives provides the right incentives to break the lock of business-as-usual."

Posted on 06/01/2004 4:21:15 PM PDT by Rebelbase
CAPE CHARLES, Va. - Geologists drilling half a mile below Virginia's Eastern Shore say they have uncovered more signs of a space rock's impact 35 million years ago.
For more than two weeks, scientists drilled around the clock alongside a parking lot across the harbor from Cape Charles. They stopped at 2,700 feet.
From the depths came jumbled, mixed bits of crystalline and melted rock that can be dated, as well as marine deposits, brine and other evidence of an ancient comet or asteroid that slammed into once-shallow waters near the Delmarva Peninsula.
Cape Charles is considered Ground Zero for the resulting 56-mile-wide depression below what's now the Chesapeake Bay. The drilling project marks the first time the geologists explored the inner portion of the inverted-sombrero-shaped crater.
"We expected to see some pretty strange rocks because of the extreme pressure and temperatures that occurred" approximately 35 million years ago, said geologist Greg Gohn, who led the $180,000 project for the U.S. Geological Survey (news - web sites).
Over the past decade, USGS (news - web sites) and Virginia scientists have investigated indications that a 2-mile-wide brilliant ball traveling tens of thousands of miles per hour crashed off the Virginia coast, burrowing thousands of feet and depressing and fracturing the bedrock.
Billions of tons of ocean water vaporized. Millions of tons of debris spewed 30 miles high before collapsing back into the excavation. A train of giant waves inundated the land. The waves then dragged debris as they washed back into the crater, preserving it beneath a blanket of rock and sediment.
It probably took just a few minutes to create the largest crater in the United States and sixth-largest known on the planet, according to computer simulations.
The catastrophe squeezed freshwater from many of the aquifers of southeastern Virginia and filled others with briny water. Its legacy is well-known to residents who try to drill for drinkable groundwater and encounter the saltwater "wedge," pockets of brine nestled in an arc from the lower Eastern Shore to the Hampton Roads-Newport News area.
Geological research off the coast of New Jersey and in Virginia, begun in 1983, led to the crater's discovery a decade later. Drilling and further study of seismic data narrowed the location in the Chesapeake Bay.
"We're getting evidence about how hot this thing (was) and what was the energy," said USGS hydrologist David Powars, one of those credited with the crater's discovery.
More clues to the space rock's identity will come from cores taken in the drill's final 280 feet.
A $1.2 million proposal to dig 7,000 feet not far from Cape Charles is before the International Continental Scientific Drilling Program, which would then assist the USGS with funding.
It has been known for a long time, but this confirmation is rather interesting.
Fascinating stuff!
Thanks for the post. I love science!
Do you think Bill Clinton knows about the "jumbled, mixed bits of crystalline and melted rock that can be dated"?
I'm waiting for Ted Kennedy to blame the asteroid impact on neo-conservatives and Halliburton...
There are also huge natural gas deposits under the Continental shelf offshore from Atlantic City NJ to Fla.
Congress stopped exploration prior to drilling back in 1983. I know because I was one of the many drillers who had to be certified with the USGS for surface and sub-sea well control techniques prior to the industry being allowed to develop this field. Needless to say, I remember hearing a small blurb shortly thereafter stating Congress had placed the area "off limits" to offshore drilling. Guess it was the NIMBY syndrome. Let 'em produce it out West and pipe it to us. Then NE congressmen can gripe about the high cost. As I recall it was a who's who of Eastern liberals who killed this important clean energy source. Anyone else recall this event or know of any records of the vote? I wonder. Hmmm. Kerry again?
I wonder if this eventhad anything to do with the Carolina Bays.
The Chesapeake Bay Bolide: Modern Consequences of an Ancient Cataclysm - U.S. Geological Survey - Coastal and Marine Geology - Woods Hole Field Center
During the late Eocene, the formerly quiescent geological regime of the Virginia Coastal Plain was dramatically transformed when a bolide struck in the vicinity of the Delmarva Peninsula, and produced the following principal consequences:
- The bolide carved a roughly circular crater twice the size of the state of Rhode Island (~6400 km2), and nearly as deep as the Grand Canyon (1.3 km deep).
- The excavation truncated all existing ground water aquifers in the impact area by gouging ~4300 km3 of rock from the upper lithosphere, including Proterozoic and Paleozoic crystalline basement rocks and Middle Jurassic to upper Eocene sedimentary rocks.
- A structural and topographic low formed over the crater.
- The impact crater may have predetermined the present-day location of Chesapeake Bay.
- A porous breccia lens, 600-1200 m thick, replaced local aquifers, resulting in ground water ~1.5 times saltier than normal sea water.
- Long-term differential compaction and subsidence of the breccia lens spawned extensive fault systems in the area, which are potential hazards for local population centers in the Chesapeake Bay area.
el bumpo!!!
I love this stuff...
Thanks. Nice maps.
And a third of the waters were made bitter...
First I heard of this discovery, also, although I was living in Virginia at the time and for years afterward.
Bush's fault.
But actually, quite interesting. Thanks!
Does anyone know if they have an estimate for how far inland the waves came?
"Bush's fault"
fault...hahaha (geologist humor)
New and fascinating to me, too.
Thanks for locating those maps. They were what I had remembered seeing and was unable to locate tonight.
That is interesting.
I was aiming for Washington DC, but close enough for government work. I think I jumped on the trigger a bit early, but I blame that on coffee jitters.
hills of central KY
Hills are formed then the ground is uplifted by geological forces. What you see today as hills were once the floor of an ocean.
That's cool by me, I like finding the surprise fossil. I found them all over N. Texas, but I guess I never realized KY might have been under water as well.
Doesn't it suck when you sneeze as you're trying to aim?
crinoids came from the shallow ocean period about 310-350 million years ago.
The hills you you see today in KY were created when the European and American continental plates slammed into each other.
So, in a way, you could blame it on the French!
Ditto on the uplifted seafloor answer.
I've seen fossilized seashells in the rock up around 8000 ft. of elevation in the mountains east of Salt Lake City.
You were living in VA 35 million years ago? ;^)
Sacre Bleu!! Your hills, they have slammed into mine! Watch where you're steering your continent, you filthy pig!
Best place in the world to go for the fossils was the "New Cut" on the Ohio upstream of Louisville.
Before the last glaciation (of the current Ice Age) the Ohio flowed to the East. A "new cut" was made at the end of the glaciation from the Miami river to the vicinity of Louisville, and voila, a gazillion fossils.
My understanding is the state of Indiana now prohibits digging for fossils in the area since the digs had gotten so extensive they endangered the safety of roads in the region.
It's cool when you find a really good one in a limestone formation. We had a quarry nearby when I lived in Texas, and everytime they put down gravel somewhere, I'd find a ton of new fossils. Was a great way to waste time as a kid.
LOL, When did Bush know about this and what is he going to do about it?
I left as soon as the glaciers retreated.
Remember, the glaciers are known to retreat for only brief periods (geologically speaking). They will return and then the Kyoto Accords crowd are going to be in some real trouble.
Up around Jamestown, New York, in the hills, the fossil shells are so thick they form the soil. I can't say if they were freshwater or saltwater, but they are small, fairly intact, and have a primitive look to them.
Hi-Diddly-O neighbor! That's proof of Noah's flood. We all know the earth is only 6000 years old! :-)
they found Pelosis mouth?
Virginia was as well. It is interesting to find sandstone and limestone at the tops of sections of the Appalachians in Virginia.
Tonight, it was nice to see someone exploring the geological history of his area. The more you learn, the more interesting the view outside your own home becomes.
Where I live in Minnesota, almost everything was scraped away by the glaciers from our most recent ice-age. However, there is one cut through a hill that has exposed the bedrock granite.
The age and chemical composition of that granite, was found to be a very close analog to the rocks found on the Moon.
When you follow the Mississippi river South of St. Paul, it spreads out into a large lake around the city of Redwing Minnesota. The depression which forms the lake has also been identified as an ancient meteor impact crater.
Previous: Introduction Up: Chesapeake Bay Bolide Next: Location of Chesapeake Bay
In order to fully appreciate the consequences of the Chesapeake Bay impact, we need to understand what the crater is like, and how we know it is there. It is the larger of two craters recently discovered on the US East Coast by Wylie Poag and his colleagues. Both were formed 35 million years ago in the late Eocene epoch of geological time. That's about half as old as the dinosaur extinction. The crater is located approximately 200 km southeast of Washington, D.C., and is buried 300-500 meters beneath the lower part of Chesapeake Bay, its surrounding peninsulas, and the inner continental shelf of the Atlantic Ocean. There is, however, much telltale geological evidence of the impact.
The first evidence of a bolide impact on the East Coast came to light in 1983. Wylie Poag was serving as Co-Chief Scientist on the drill ship Glomar Challenger during Leg 95 of the National Science Foundation's Deep Sea Drilling Project. At an offshore drill site 120 km east of Atlantic City, NJ, the scientific party of Leg 95 recovered a core containing sedimentary debris diagnostic of a bolide impact. This figure focuses on that discovery, and introduces some key terminology. Shown here in great exaggeration, is the Glomar Challenger drilling into the sedimentary beds that make up the seaward edge of the continental shelf. The continental shelf is represented as a stack of sedimentary beds, displayed on a seismic reflection profile. The seismic profile is a type of sea floor sonogram. The survey ship sends a series of sound waves into the sea floor. As each wave encounters the boundaries between individual beds, part of the wave is reflected back to a recording instrument. These reflections are digitized and processed by computer to produce the seismic profile. The profile shows the thickness, depth, and spatial orientation of each bed, and allows one to determine the best drill site for solving a particular geological problem. For example, we see here that the yellow bed is tilted seaward, and has been fractured. The eastern block has moved downward along the fracture plane relative to the western block. This fracture plane is called a fault. At the lower end of the drill pipe, the drill bit is located near the crest of a folded bed.
The drill bit has a hole in its center, about the diameter of a tennis ball. So as it grinds down through the sediments, a cylindrical core of sediment protrudes through that opening and up into the hollow drill pipe. From there, it can be recovered and sampled. A core from the red bed contains a 20-cm-thick layer, which includes diagnostic evidence of a bolide impact. The evidence consists of certain minerals, whose physical properties have been altered by the tremendous force of the impact shock, which can be tens of thousands of times greater than atmospheric pressure. Two of the most common alteration products are shown in the yellow circle. Tektites are millimeter-to-centimeter-size glass beads derived from sediment melted by the impact. Shocked minerals, especially quartz, show several sets of closely spaced, intersecting dark stripes when viewed microscopically. The lines represent tiny fracture planes oriented at specific angles to the main optical axis of the quartz crystal. No natural mechanism other than a bolide impact produces tektites and shocked quartz.
The sediments containing the tektite also contain fossilized remains of microorganisms (microfossils) that lived in the ocean when the tektites were deposited. These photomicrographs illustrate a variety of these microfossils (note the scale bars). The microfossils indicated that the tektite layer at Site 612 was deposited in the late Eocene epoch, 35 million years ago. This age was confirmed by determining the ratio of two isotopes of argon gas contained in the tektite glass.
The second indication of an East Coast bolide impact came three years later (1986), from cores drilled onshore in southeastern Virginia. There, the U.S. Geological Survey and the Virginia State Water Control Board were investigating the composition, thickness, and geological age of subsurface sedimentary beds and evaluating their potential as sources of fresh groundwater. They drilled four cores, two on each side of the lower bay. Let's examine some of the core from the Windmill Point and Exmore sites.
Here are parts of two different cores, cut up into two-foot sections for ease of storage. We can call this rock material a sandy rubble bed. Mixed within the sand are larger hand-size to person-size chunks (clasts) of clay, limestone, and sand. The clasts in the rubble bed change rapidly downcore in composition, size, color, and orientation. No one had ever seen such a rubble bed before in the subsurface of Virginia, but it is present in all four of our cores. The strangest aspect of the bed is not visible to the naked eye, however. We didn't discover it until we analyzed the microfossils. The upper clay bed contained the normal stacked succession of microfossils... youngest on top, getting progressively older downcore. But that's not the case in the rubble bed. For example, the dark, fractured clay interval in the Windmill Point core differs by 20 million years in age from the white limestone below it. But the limestone is not older, as it should be; it's 20 million years younger. And we found a random mixture of ages among all the other clasts, too. The clasts turn out to be mainly fragments ripped from all the surrounding sedimentary beds that underlie southeast Virginia. Small pieces of the granitic basement are also scattered throughout the rubble. All these fragments were mixed together and redeposited in a layer that covers twice the area of Rhode Island. But most important of all, the youngest microfossils in the rubble bed are the same group of species we had seen in the tektite layer off New Jersey. Clearly, some terrific force had torn apart the normal horizontally stacked layers in Virginia, and scrambled them all together, at the same time a bolide impact had deposited the tektites off New Jersey.
This suggested a common origin for the rubble bed and the New Jersey tektite layer. So we looked for shock-altered minerals in the rubble bed. Sure enough, we found trace amounts of shocked quartz and bits of melt-rock in the rubble bed at each core site. Now we had diagnostic evidence that the rubble bed resulted from a bolide impact. But we still could not pinpoint the location of the source crater.
The final piece of the puzzle was provided in 1993 (ten years after the tektite discovery off New Jersey) by Texaco, Inc. and Exxon Exploration Co. These companies were exploring beneath Chesapeake Bay for structures that might contain oil and gas. And as part of that search, they collected a network of seismic reflection profiles in the bay. These profiles showed clearly that a huge peak-ring impact crater is buried beneath the bay and centered near the town of Cape Charles, on Virginia's eastern shore. The crater is 90 km in diameter and 1.3 km deep. It covers an area twice the size of Rhode Island, and is nearly as deep as the Grand Canyon. The rubble bed, which we now realize is an impact breccia, fills the crater and forms a thin halo around it, called an ejecta blanket. Inadvertently, we had drilled two of the core holes mentioned previously into the breccia inside the crater. The other two cores were drilled just outside the rim, into the ejecta blanket. The seismic profiles show that the breccia is much thicker than the cores indicated, however, reaching more than a kilometer.
Here is a seismic profile which shows, in cross section, the structure of the outer rim of the crater. Along the base of the profile is a prominent reflection separating the purple bed from the brown bed. The purple bed is composed of granite and granite-like rocks, which we call crystalline basement. The basement rocks are much denser than the sedimentary layers above it, and this produces the strong basement reflection. The stack of horizontal reflections to the right, between the purple and blue layers, represent the normal sedimentary beds that existed here when the bolide struck. The top of the blue bed represents the ancient sea-floor at the time of the impact. As we look to the left on this profile, however, these horizontal reflections are truncated by a series of faults, and the orderly stacking of beds is disrupted. The blue units are large blocks that have slumped off the crater's outer wall, and have slid to the left into the annular trough. We can still see some organized reflections in these blocks; some remain horizontal, but others are diagonal, indicating that the blocks have rotated. The pink breccia section is characterized by disorganized or chaotic reflections caused by the jumble of clasts it contains. On top of the breccia are horizontal reflections from the youngest beds, which accumulated during the past 35 million years since the bolide struck.
We can put all the core and seismic data together and produce a two-dimensional cross section across the entire crater. A map view at the upper right shows the location of the cross section relative to the crater outline and the core sites. Outside the crater we see a stack of gently dipping sedimentary beds lying on the granitic basement. The bolide punched a deep hole through the sediments and into the basement (the inner basin), fractured it to depths of 8 km, and raised the peak ring around it. The sedimentary walls of the crater progressively slumped in, widened the crater, and formed a layer of huge blocks on the floor of the annular trough. The slump blocks were then covered with the breccia. The entire bolide event, from initial impact to the termination of breccia deposition lasted only a few hours or days. In geological perspective, the 1.2 km-thick breccia is an instantaneous deposit. The crater was then buried by additional sedimentary beds, which accumulated during the following 35 million years. The white perpendicular columns beneath the drill derricks indicate the beds that we cored.

I did. Thanks for the ping.
Do you mean the Republican Governors of New York and New Jersey?
And since when is natural gas a clean energy source...maybe cleaner than the smell out of the Secaucus swamp, aka Giant Stadium.

Excellent addition, thanks.

Anyone experience a blighted ovum?Ā When I had my first ultrasound, I measured 2 weeks behind (6 weeks instead of 8).Ā I had the sac and yolk sac and the dr said not to worry, I may have just ovulated late.Ā I did a follow up ultrasound a few days later and then another one a week later and there has been no signs of growth or a fetal pole.Ā I have not had any cramping or bleeding.Ā My dr is going to do ONE MORE ultrasound in a week just to be sure and then I'll have to decide what to do.Ā My HCG went from 14000 to 23000 in 3 days so it didn't quite double, but it went up.Ā I will wait another week, but I am not holding out a whole lot of hope here.Ā Should I get a d&c, try the pill, or wait for a natural miscarriage?Ā I really do want to try again as soon as possible.Ā This was my first pregnancy and the hubby and I were so excited and now we're just heartbroken....Thanks everyone for all your support!
Blighted Ovum - what should I do? Advice please!
dont give in just yet!!!
hand made tutus starting at $6.00 !!! matching hair flowers
First let me say that I am sooooo sorry!! I went through the same exact thing! My doc tried for almost 3 weeks, still had no pole. I waited 3 more weeks to miscarry and finally opted for a d&c.
Mom of 8 and that's enough for me.
"Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future."
Lots of people here have said their D&Cs were quick and physically painless, but mine was traumatic, and if I were in that position again, I would let it go naturally, especially if the embryo was only measuring 6 weeks. ┬ĀAt that point, it shouldn't physically seem like much more than a heavy period. ┬ĀI'm so sorry you're having to make this decision. ┬ĀGood luck.
My blighted ovum was discovered at 9 weeks and I can tell you my experience. I took the generic version of cytotec to induce the miscarriage since I wasn't bleeding yet, only spotting. It took several hours to start working, but then I started bleeding heavily and with clots. I pretty much sat on the toilet for a lot of the day. I ended up bleeding/spotting for 6 weeks, but a follow-up determined no infection or any reason for the prolonged bleeding. Overall, I liked getting to go through the process at home and knowing when it was going to happen. But I wonder if the bleeding and recovery time would have been easier had I let it happen naturally.
Wife to Dave since 07/08
Mom to Hannah since 06/09 and Mark since 02/12
With mine, I had my first U/S at 6 weeks and saw just the sac, no yolk sac or anything. hCG was rising but not doubling. Then I started spotting. I had already lost most of my pregnancy symptoms. At close to 8 weeks I had asked my OB about the medication as it was so hard to wait it out. My OB wanted to do one more U/S which was scheduled for the Monday (good for her, I can't stand to hear about these doctors that want to schedule a D&C at the first u/s without doing any follow up). I ended up miscarrying naturally over the weekend. It mostly all passed in one night and was not too traumatic. I did then start bleeding again pretty heavily a couple of days later, but once I rested a little it resolved. The bleeding lasted about 4 days total and was like a heavy period, apart from the first part which was much crampier and had good size clots. It was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I have heard that the meds can make it more intense, but I don't know if that is true. I know nothing about the D&C. It took about 2 weeks for hCG┬Āto drop┬Āback down, and┬Ā7 weeks for me to ovulate again but I was also BFing so that may have affected it.
So very sorry you are going through this
Me (31) & DH (30)
DD (Dec 09), #2 due mid Feb 2012!
So far your story sounds just like mine, except I did have bleeding here and there.┬Ā I did a lot of reading when I thought I was going to miscarry and my Dr. told me that had my numbers doubled like they should have from where we were at that point they should have been able to see something on the screen.
I decided to wait 2 weeks for a natural miscarriage that never happened.┬Ā I went in for a 2 wk follow up and asked for 1 more ultrasound just for a piece of mind before setting up the d&c.┬Ā So what we thought I should have been 9 weeks on the u/s we did see something that time and I measured 7w4d.┬Ā I am so glad I waited!
He had me come back in for another app. 2 weeks later and we did the first OB app. all over again and another ultrasound which showed me @10w 3d so things are moving along like they should. I hope you have the same luck!
Also I took this from a website I was doing a lot of reading throughout the 2 weeks I was waiting for a m/c to happen and I saw you mentioned the yolk sac which I also had before I was told i was goign to m/c
"If the case is a true blighted ovum, the yolk and fetal pole will not be present. Miscarriages can still happen after the yolk sac is seen but these are not truly blighted ovum"
Best of luck to you :)┬Ā Keep a positive mind
With my last pregnancy, the docs told me blighted ovum and then two weeks later they found a fetus and h/b.┬Ā Unfortunately, that story does not have a happy ending, but it was NOT a blighted ovum after they told me it was.┬Ā
C - Feb. 2012
I had a blighted ovum before my daughter (I am really sorry you are going though this).
I ended up taking Misoprostol and regretted it. I wish I had either just let it pass naturally or done the D&C. I ended up collapsing from a reaction and pain and my parents called 911. I was taken in an ambulance and I ended up having an emergency D&C. It was a terrible experience. My advice would be avoid this drug - it is controversial, according to my OB and few doctors recommend it any more because it brings on contractions suddenly and not slowly, which is why I reacted and collapsed.
I would wait a little while and then schedule a D&C - it is painless and you are sure that everything is removed safely for your next pregnancy.
Good luck, keeping you in prayers. Don't worry, I had one cycle after and fell pregnant straight away. The pregnancy really helped my grief.

Expressivism and plural truth

Contemporary expressivists typically deny that all true judgments must represent reality. Many instead adopt truth minimalism, according to which there is no substantive property of judgments in virtue of which they are true. In this article, I suggest that expressivists would be better suited to adopt truth pluralism, or the view that there is more than one substantive property of judgments in virtue of which judgments are true. My point is not that an expressivism that takes this form is true, but that it more readily accommodates the motivations that typically lead expressivists to their view in the first place.

I can't remember a day I haven't listened to K-LOVE at least once a day. It's true when people say that music is one of the best ways to worship our LORD. I just give thanks to God for giving two working ears and a joyful heart to give the praise to whom it belongs. Every morning on my way to my college classes I have to listen to worship music so I can go throughout my day with the best of intentions and the love of the LORD. Not only is worship music there for me in my best of days, it is also there in my lowest of moments. For example, one day I was driving down the interstate and I remember an incident in my life that still dredges up old feelings of self-loathing and depression. It was at that moment I knew that I had to stop, pull off the road, turn on the radio and pray. K-LOVE was on and "You Love Me Anyway" by Sidewalk Prophets was playing. It was at that moment that I felt God's presence. Ever since that moment, whenever I feel that issue come up, I never get down because I know my LORD forgives me and loves me anyway. That's why I love K-LOVE. God uses K-LOVE for the glory of GOD, and to GOD be the glory.
Thanks for this great story

Bill Jelen is the host of MrExcel.com and has penned numerous books on Microsoft Excel and PowerPivot. He launched MrExcel.com in 1998 after working as a financial analyst at a very large firm. Growing tired of insufficient reporting tools and spreadsheets, Bill perfected techniques in Excel that eventually turned hours of work into a solvable problem with a single click. Bill has taken the knowledge he gained from working "in the trenches" with Excel and develops solutions for professionals in many specialized industries. One example is the "F&I Menu Wizard," a proprietary program for car dealerships that streamlines the finance and insurance process and helps increase auto dealerships' profit per vehicle by an average of $225. It is currently experiencing widespread usage by a number of different dealerships.
