The 2014 Farm Bill streamlines and consolidates three former programs, the Wetlands Reserve Program, Grassland Reserve Program, and Farm and Ranch Land Protection program into a new program, Agricultural Conservation Easement Program (ACEP). Although WRP, GRP, and FRPP were repealed in the 2014 Farm Bill, all existing easements remain valid. New sign-up and program information for ACEP will be announced as it becomes available.
The Grassland Reserve Program (GRP) is a voluntary program jointly managed by USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and Farm Service Agency (FSA). The program purpose is to assist owners and operators of private land in protecting grazing uses and the related grassland values such as grassland-dependent plants and animals, soil erosion control, and air or water quality protection.
The following documents require Adobe Acrobat. GRP Fact Sheet (368 kb) Applying for Financial Assistance (67 kb) - also available in html format DUNS/CCR Fact Sheet (246 kb) - Information for entities, also available in html format Program Application Materials
Applicants must have current crop and producer records on file with the Farm Service Agency. They must own or control the land, agree to maintain the grassland for the contract term, and complete a grazing management plan or conservation plan. Restoration may be required on some properties, based on the site conditions at the time of application.
Applicants may choose between a rental contract of 10-, 15- or 20-years, or a permanent easement. Rental contract holders receive an annual payment (the "rental payment") and 50% of the cost of any restoration practices. Applicants who agree to sell a conservation easement retain the grazing rights, and receive as compensation for the easement the lesser of the established geographic rate, appraised value less the grassland value, or landowner offer for the easement.
Both rental and easement applicants may also enter into a restoration cost-share agreement if restoration is needed.
For more information on the Grassland Reserve Program, visit the Farm Service Agency's GRP overview page.
Easements and rental contracts allow, consistent with program purposes, the following activities:
Easements and rental contracts prohibit:
Conservation practices that restore grassland functions and values can be included in a restoration cost-share agreement. These are:
To participate in a GRP rental contract, applicants must own or have control of the agricultural land under consideration for the intended contract period. Rental contracts are for a minimum of 10 years, but applicants may also choose a 15-year or a 20-year contract term.
Applicants for GRP easements must own the land under consideration, and demonstrate clear title at the time of application.
There is no minimum acreage for enrollment. Portions of farms or entire farms are eligible for both easements and rental contracts.
Land is not eligible for GRP if it is currently enrolled in another USDA Farm Bill conservation program such as the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), the Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program (WHIP) or the Wetland Reserve Program (WRP). Land is also ineligible if it is used for mitigation purposes, already under permanent protection, or if it is publically owned.
However, land under any of these or a state Landowner Incentive Program (LIP) contract that is expiring within the next twelve months may apply for GRP and, upon existing contract expiration, be converted to a GRP contract in order to maintain the grasslands developed under the original contract.
An annual rental payment is made per acre enrolled in a rental contract for the life of the contract. Rental rates are set by FSA on an annual basis. Rental payments are subject to a $50,000 per person per year annual payment limitation.
A GRP easement is a conservation easement, wherein the United States restricts all land uses except the right to maintain and use the grasslands in perpetuity for the grazing and related purposes specified in the easement deed.
Compensation for an easement is determined after the applicant eligibility is established, NRCS has determined the land meets program purposes, and the applicant has read the standard easement deed and agreed to continue in the acquisition process.
NRCS will complete a site-specific appraisal for each offered easement, comparing the value of the land in the "before" and "after" condition. Unless the landowner submits an application with a lower per acre offer, NRCS will make the landowner an offer of 80% of the easement value based on the results of the appraisal.
Successful applicants are also eligible for cost-share assistance for practices needed to restore or enhance the grasslands.
Both rental and easement contracts have a $50,000 annual payment limitation per person per year for restoration payments. Restoration payments are made after practice implementation, at 50% of the actual cost.
Interested applicants can review the program information available here or contact their local USDA Service Center. A signed application can be filed at any time.
Applications are grouped for ranking normally once a year, and are ranked on how well the proposed area meets national and state environmental and program purpose objectives. Applicants who are actively managing grazing lands or agree to roll expiring Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) or Landowner Incentive Program (LIP) contracts directly into GRP 20-year rental contracts or easements are given priority. Other ranking criteria include threat of conversion to other land uses, project area size, quality of soils, and need for restoration.

Engineers Week continues: Celestial Space and Eternal Darkness
Celestial Space and Eternal Darkness: The Piccards' Engineering Feats
By Martha Cornog
When your father twice beats the record for the highest balloon flight, what can you do but explore the eternal darkness of the ocean's depths? At first, Jacques Piccard was just helping out with dad's bathyscaphe—his real career was teaching economics at the University of Geneva. Father Auguste was internationally recognized for his adventures in the upper atmosphere, having made twenty-seven balloon flights and setting a final record of over 72,000 feet. Auguste had even designed a spherical, pressurized aluminum gondola that would allow ascent to great altitude without requiring a personal pressure suit. Now for his bathyscaphes, he was applying the buoyancy technique used for his balloons to assist in submersion.
But after their third bathyscaphe reached a record depth of 10,000 feet, the Trieste as it was now called found a buyer in the U.S. Navy, which hired Jacques as a consultant. In early 1960, Jacques' team successfully touched bottom of the North Pacific's Mariana Trench, a record depth of over 35,700 feet—deeper than Mt. Everest is tall.
Auguste was the inspiration for the amusingly absent-minded Professor Calculus in Belgian cartoonist Hergé's The Adventures of Tintin. For 1940s readers, scientists and engineers must have seemed marvelous creatures, probably half mad with their tinkerings and experiments. But the younger Jacques received no such distinction. By the 1960s, record-shattering explorations had become much more commonplace, and scientists depicted in comics were likely to be serious heroes or villains.
The Piccard family has the unique distinction even today of having made both the highest flight and the deepest dive of all time. In 1960, Drexel honored Jacques and Auguste Piccard with its Science and Engineering Award as part of the eleventh annual Drexel Engineer's Day.
Want to read more? Jacques' memoir, Seven Miles Down: The Story of the Bathyscaph Trieste, is part of the Drexel library collection.

Vitreoretinal diseases and retinal cell biology, macular holes, retinal detachment, subretinal neovascularization, proliferative diabetic retinopathy, posterior segment surgical procedures for diagnosis or therapy of uveitis
Research Interests
I have an active basic and clinical research program. I have been principal investigator on several funded clinical studies including investigations of an oral ganciclovir prodrug to treat CMV retinitis and a study to determine the safety of a cyclosporine sustained drug delivery implant in the treatment of uveitis. I am principal investigator of an ongoing multicenter trial of a fluocinolone sustained drug delivery implant to treat patients with severe uveitis and a trial of this same implant to treat diabetic macular edema. Recently, I have investigated the use of ultrasonography and optical coherence tomography to diagnose macular edema in a variety of ocular diseases. I have maintained an ongoing basic research program to test the hypothesis that cytokines are important in the development of proliferative vitreoretinopathy, an important intraocular wound healing disorder. Education: I am actively involved in resident and fellow education. I give lectures to residents and fellows on a variety of topics related to uveitis and vitreoretinal diseases and train fellows to perform vitreoretinal surgery. I train post-doctoral students and medical students to conduct clinically relevant research. I serve as a mentor for the Duke third year medical school research program. I have served on a yearly basis as course faculty at many national and international meetings.

Once again Democrats in Washington are decreeing that a job "perk" available to government workers should be denied to those in the private sector.
Since 1985, federal law has permitted public-sector workers who are on the job more than 40 hours a week to choose between being paid time-and-a-half wages for the additional labor, or taking time off with pay as compensation. That can be helpful to employees in any number of situations.
Last week, the House of Representatives approved a bill that would allow workers in the private sector to trade overtime pay for time off from the job weeks or even months after they earn the credit. Current law requires that such "compensatory time off" be used within the pay period. That severely restricts the value of the benefit for workers.
But Democrats in the Senate say they will not approve the bill. President Barack Obama has vowed that if it reaches his desk, he will veto it.
Why? As long as safeguards are in effect to ensure employers do not pressure workers to take time off rather than overtime pay, what's the problem? Senators and Obama should give private-sector workers a choice, too.

I had a fantastic time staying at Brenda's place in Castro. The room is beautifully set up and very homely. Brenda is fantastic to talk to and is very knowledgeable of the local area. She has also taken the time to create a guide to the best local eateries which were fabulous. Her cat and dog are very cute and stick to Brenda like glue if you're not a big pet's person. I would highly recommend staying with Brenda.
I was grateful to Brenda! I had left my IPad on airplane and where I was staying did not have internet, so I was unable to get in touch with her until I received my IPad back from the airline. This was the day I was supposed to check in and she had not heard from me in more than 2 weeks. She had not given my room away. She was friendly, and her place was really clean. I recommend staying in her home!
Brenda is friendly, open minded, cool, good-humored, well-read
She organized an small guide where to go in Castro for Breakfast/Lunch ect. she offered many useful tips for visiting the city, as well as a maps.
The Appartment is good located very nice and clean, as the room its warm and cosy. There is a little dog Boo and the cat living in the flat, both are so sweet. I had a lovley stay at Brenda's house she was a great host. I would definitely recommend staying here.
Thank you Brenda
P.s Greets to Mina
Pefectly located Castro
I found this lovely spot in the Castro. Brenda and her flat mate Mina were absolutely nice. The apartment was very nice, cosy and obviously designed with passion. As well the room is very nice and warm colored and cosy. There is a little dog boo and a cat living in the flat. Both are very friendly, too. In conclusion there is nothing more you need to spend some days in San Francisco.
Best first Airbnb experience ever. You're very fortunate if you get the chance to stay with Brenda, she (and the apartment) really are the best.
200+ reviews can't be wrong.. Brenda's place was incredibly comfortable, conveniently located to a train station. Brenda is an excellent host, easy to talk to, knowledgable, and has a ton of information available on where to visit and eat. I would definitely book with her on my next trip to San Francisco.
Seriously-- such a fabulous experience. Amazing location and the room was great. Brenda was a warm and charming hostess, along with the fun Boo! Definitely recommended.
Brenda has many positive reviews for a reason! Both her and her home are very charming. She has two of the most darling pets you'll ever meet and I have nothing but good things to say about the location and my entire stay.
Brenda was not only a good host, she was really fun to be with - interesting, easy to talk to and funny. I really recommend her place. It was spotless, extremely comfortable, and I loved the art. I felt so lucky!
I had a wonderful time at Brenda's place! She is extremely welcoming, helpful and open. Her house is charming and very well located to the town's hot spots. I could not have wished for a better place. I would recommend her to anyone staying in San Francisco and I would be delighted to meet her again in Europe soon.

At least they are talking, even on Sunday.
Labor contract negotiations are set to resume today in the now six-day-old strike at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Talks had continued past 9 p.m. Saturday night.
At least they are talking, even on Sunday.
Labor contract negotiations are set to resume today in the now six-day-old strike at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Talks had continued past 9 p.m. Saturday night.
The strike, by the 800-member International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 63 Office Clerical Unit, has shut down 10 of the 14 cargo container terminals at the nation's busiest seaport complex.
The labor fight pits the union against a group of shipping lines and cargo terminal operators calling themselves the Los Angeles/Long Beach Harbor Employers Assn.
The strike is considered a potentially disastrous event for the Southern California economy because the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach are the leading contributors to the region's goods movement industry that employs about 595,000 people.
Last year, the two ports handled 39.5% of the total value of all cargo container imports entering the U.S. from origins worldwide, according to Jock O'Connell, international trade economist and adviser to Beacon Economics.
The union, which handles the vast amount of paperwork associated with the ports' container cargo, has been working without a contract since June 30, 2010.
The strike has crippled the port because of support from the ILWU dockworkers, who have 50,000 members on the U.S. West Coast, in Canada and in Hawaii. The dockworkers negotiate their contracts separately, but the 10,000 members who work at the Los Angeles and Long Beach ports have honored the smaller union's picket lines.
As a result, seven of the eight cargo container terminals at the Port of Los Angeles remain closed. Three of the six cargo container terminals at the Port of Long Beach are also closed.
The union says that its main issue is what it claims is the outsourcing of its jobs, which are being lost through attrition, retirements, illnesses or other reasons.
The shipping lines and terminal operators say the union's outsourcing claims are bogus and say they have offered "absolute job security."
The employers have repeatedly said the union members are the highest-paid clerical workers in the U.S., having a total compensation package of $165,000 a year, including wages, benefits, pension contributions and paid vacation. That package would be worth $195,000 a year under management's new offer, the employers have said.
On Saturday, the union offered a rebuttal, saying that the employers' claims were misleading. Wages reached $40 to $41 an hour, for an annual pay level of $80,000 to $82,200 a year, not counting overtime, retirement or benefits. The union has asked for a 2.5% raise, said union spokesman Craig Merrilees.
Merrilees added that the union has had one pay increase in the past four years.
Since the strike started, nine ships have either diverted at sea or briefly anchored outside the ports before leaving to unload at another harbor.
There were no new ship diversions reported on Sunday, said Capt. Dick McKenna, executive director of the Marine Exchange of Southern California, which tracks vessel movements.
Other than the lightly manned picket lines, the ships were the biggest evidence of the strike on Sunday.
Nine cargo container ships were anchored offshore Sunday: the APL London; the Hanjin ships Constantza, Algeciras and Chongqing; the Hyundai Hong Kong; the Ital Contessa; the Kota Wangsa; the Maersk Merlion; and the Liberian-flagged Talassa.
Normally, those ships would have gone straight to dock for unloading, but there is no room for them yet because of the strike.
Three more container ships are due to arrive today and 11 more container ships are scheduled to arrive on Monday.

'Batman' Turns Over Wanted Man To Police In England
By editor
Batman has apparently given up Gotham for a stint in the northern English town of Bradford.
West Yorkshire Police, today, released a photograph of a man dressed in a Batman costume turning in a wanted man. According to the BBC, after Batman turned the man in, the caped superhero turned around and disappeared into the night.
The BBC poses this question: The wanted man appears to have been "brought in fairly willingly." So did Batman know the man? Did he have to put his Batman duties ahead of friendship?
Australia's ABC has different — perhaps less consequential — questions. The news presenter took at look at the old school Batman and quipped that perhaps he "hasn't been working out enough."

Warm-water river systems across the continent hold decent populations of largemouth bass. The trick is catching 'em, especially in late winter and early spring, when high, cold water makes life miserable for bass and fishermen alike.
Bass pro and NAFC member Bill McDonald of Indianapolis, Indiana, showed me his system. When water temperatures reach 50 degrees in his native Ohio River, usually in mid- to late March, it's time to begin exploring tributary creeks in search of prespawn largemouths.
"Creeks are your best bet then," he says. "The good ones hold lots of bass; a mixture of fish that have moved in from the main river to spawn, plus resident bass that hang out there all year."
Current, or lack thereof, separates productive creeks from bad ones. McDonald targets "flat-water" streams. "I prefer smaller creeks, say, 40 to 60 yards across, without a lot of flow," he says. Rushing torrents hold few fish.
Once he locates a prime creek, he looks for hard-bottom areas with woody cover. "Even in creeks with a lot of siltation, you can find areas where the current has cleared off gravel or other hard substrate," he says. "This is a key, because bass are looking for hard bottom on which to spawn."
The wood factor is equally huge, he explains. "Woody cover is a magnet for bass in creeks," he says. Lots of this wood is visible at or near the surface, but you'll need to scout for trees lying in deep, stained water.
Crank 'Em In While anglers cringe at the thought of cranking wood, McDonald embraces the presentation. "I love it," he says. "You can cover water and trigger strikes so well, it's my go-to method."
His weapon of choice is a 2 5/8-inch D Bait. If you haven't heard of it, don't feel bad. A cool crank built by Gary Dees, the foil-finished, balsa bait's rod-shaking action is murder on bass in shallow timber.
"I fish it right through the wood, feeling my way along, usually with a stop-and-go retrieve," says McDonald, who favors the black-back and gray-back shad-imitating patterns for clear waters; firetiger for stained situations.
"Take it slow when the water's cold," he says. "Sometimes the fish follow but won't strike, and it takes a long pause to make them commit."
To fish a piece of wood, McDonald positions his boat so the bait will run through the cover with the current. "I experiment with the angles and boat positions," he notes. "It may take a dozen casts to get it right."
If cranks aren't producing, or McDonald thinks he could siphon one more bass from a prime lie, he goes to 1/8- to 3/8-ounce jigs and Texas-rigged plastics. "Strike King Bitsy Bugs are good jigs for this kind of fishing," he says. "I Texas rig a dark Zoom Brush Hog, Baby Brush Hog or Ultra-Vibe Super Craw with a True Tungsten weight; the tungsten is the best I've found for transmitting bottom information."
While McDonald perfected the art of creek cranking on the mighty Ohio, it works wonders on rivers across bass country. Add it to your river fishing arsenal and you, too, could turn the grueling days of winter's demise into some of the season's best bassin'.
There are currently no comments, be the first to post one.
Sixty-seven lakes and reservoirs, in 19 states, hold specially tagged fish that could turn into cash or prizes for lucky anglers! Read on!
Use this map to key in on smallmouth bass spawning times for your geographic location.
Alabama guide and pro angler Jimmy Mason has been smack in the middle of the excitement surrounding this cool new way to catch bass.
Late spring and early summer provide some of the best opportunities of the year to catch bass in shallow water with a spinnerbait. The reason is because bream as well as shad, both prime forage for bass, have moved shallow to spawn, and bass are taking advantage of it.

The Empire Hotel Rooftop Bar & Lounge
The Empire's rooftop bar boasts (slightly) cheaper cocktails (about $14), more space, and a more down-to-Earth crowd than you typically find at the Gansevoort's Plunge in the Meatpacking District -- and it even has a comparable rooftop pool.
Gramercy Terrace
Although the Gramercy Park Hotel's Gramercy Terrace competes with the uber-hip Rose Bar downstairs, it's the place to be in warmer weather. The strings of lights and crawling green vines make it feel like you've entered a fairyland after dark.
The Gansevoort's 15th-floor rooftop lounge, called Plunge, has stunning 360-degree views of the city and the Hudson River, and draws a crowd of twenty- and thirty-somethings dressed to kill.
Press Lounge
With its views of Midtown Manhattan and the Hudson River, Press Lounge at Ink 48 -- opened in April 2010 -- has quickly established itself amongst the ranks of best rooftop bars in New York City. Featuring a wrap-around terrace, indoor seating, a reflecting pool, and even a hot tub, Press Lounge encourages late-night partying in style -- the lounge is open year-round and doesn't close its doors until 2 a.m. Wednesday through Saturday.
Top of the Strand
A popular spot amongst Midtown professionals in need of after-work cocktails, the Top of the Strand provides patrons with an intimate, garden-esque setting year-round (a sliding roof makes the bar four-seasons-friendly). The signature cocktails will set you back $15 each (relatively standard for NYC) but the not-so-standard views of the Empire State Building, just three blocks away, make it more than worth it.
A60 is one of the city's most exclusive rooftop bars, open only to card-carrying "members" (read: celebrities, fashion types, and other bold-named scenesters), plus hotel guests. In other words, for the price of a room, you just might gain access to some of the best celebrity-gawking in Manhattan.
Upstairs at the Kimberly
Opened in Spring 2010, the 4,000-square-foot Upstairs lounge on the 30th floor boasts spectacular 360-degree views of Midtown Manhattan and the nearby Chrysler Building, a long list of signature cocktails, and tasty small plates such as truffled mac and cheese and crisp baby artichokes.
Mé Bar
This colorful, funky bar on the 14th floor of La Quinta hotel has one of the best views in town -- the Empire State building, one of New York's most iconic sites, towers above the action. But it's still somewhat of an undiscovered gem; you won't have to fight the crowds or put on your swank party clothes like you would at A60 or Plunge. Low-key revelers can enjoy the scene year-round -- seating is available in an enclosed glass area in the winter -- and order delivery to the rooftop from the area's excellent Korean joints when the late-night munchies hit (the bar doesn't serve food). Drinks are reasonably priced (for New York, anyway).
Salon de Ning
Styled in the spirit of 1930s Shanghai, Salon De Ning -- a 23rd-floor rooftop terrace that's popular among locals for its beautiful views and swank outdoor setting -- offers excellent, $22 cocktails and small shared plates. Sunday brunch is served on the terrace during the summer.
Glass Bar
Glass Bar offers four signature cocktails, a few wine selections by the bottle and glass, and a menu of creative, small plates, such as truffle honey ricotta bruschetta and truffled short rib sliders. On Monday nights, the Michael Fredo Orchestra plays swing music from 8-10 p.m.
The rooftop garden and bar Bookmarks has three different personas: the "poetry garden," a greenhouse with a wraparound terrace; the "writer's den," which has a working fireplace and its own heated terrace; and the bar itself, which has a sleeker, more mod feel than the rest of the hotel.
Rare View
The Affinia Shelburne's summer rooftop garden and bar, appropriately named Rare View, has stunning views of the Chrysler building. At night, strings of lights illuminate the garden's white-latticed walls, white picnic tables, and pots of trees and flowers.
The Roosevelt Hotel's 19th-floor rooftop bar, Mad46, which opened in 2008, draws a crowd heavy with finance professionals who can afford its double-digit martinis. It stays open from May until the weather turns chilly in the fall. Renovations are under way to add an indoor lounge.
Hudson Sky Terrace
Hudson's Sky Terrace, which opened in May 2009 in time for the warm weather, is a relative newcomer to the New York rooftop bar scene. A limited menu is available from 12 to 8, and the terrace closes at 11:30, so it's better for mellow cocktail sipping in the sun than late-night parties. The 15th-floor location offers stunning views of Midtown and the Hudson River.
Rare View
Rare View opened at the sleek Fashion 26 hotel in summer of 2010, and offers views of the Chrysler Building, Broadway marquees, and the surrounding area of Chelsea. The menu of cocktails are reasonably priced and offers eclectic and unique concoctions. Go for the RARE Fashion, it's a killer.
The James' stylish rooftop bar, Jimmy, features a small plunge pool and skyline views.

Space travel is no small feat. But as James Fallows argues in his new book, China Airborne, it's a government effort not unlike the building of a massive dam. Running a large fleet of airliners that could compete with Boeing or Airbus would take a whole other kind of coordination, one that may currently be out of China's reach. Here, Fallows defends this comparison to Eurasia Group analyst Damien Ma.

President Andrew Mills Launches Theology of Work Project
New website to explore faith and work
Does the Bible have anything to say about work? A new website, theologyofwork.org, answers emphatically yes. Launched on March 18th, the Theology of Work (TOW) Project features over 500 articles and videos that give a Christian perspective on the theological significance of work.
President Mills, Co-chairman of the project, said I dont know of any other resource that covers the entire Bible and does it with such a broad team of contributors and editors from across the spectrum of orthodox/historical Christian thought. It provides invaluable insights about Gods plan for work for theologians, pastors and workplace practitioners alike
The site aims to equip workplace Christians, and help pastors and church leaders equip their members for life in secular workplaces.
Often the most interesting resources come from the most unexpected places, says William Messenger, executive editor of the TOW Project. Who would have thought that the Song of Songs would have so much to say about workplace relationships and employee satisfaction? he asks, or that the best example of a manager in the Bible is the Valiant Woman in the Book of Proverbs? He adds, I was surprised that Pauls discussion about yoking oxen in 2 Corinthians would have so much practical guidance for workplace relationships in business today.
Over the coming year, the TOW Project expects to expand the website to cover every book of the Bible and the most important topics in contemporary workplaces. All the materials on the website are available free of charge.
The TOW Projects mission, leadership, processes and history are described at About the Project on the website, Messenger says. Click here to visit the Theology of Work Project home page.

copy linen tee
by ACNE STUDIOS
Acne (Ambition to Create Novel Expression) is a creative collective founded in Stockholm, Sweden in 1996. The collective became established as a clothing line in 1997, when co-founder Jonny Johansson created 100 pairs of jeans in raw denim with red stitching and distributed them to friends throughout Stockholm. These novel jeans became the foundation of the brand and lead to the launch of Acne's first full collection in 1998. The concept behind the line is a tone of subtle luxury in understated styles feeling as though they were borrowed from another person's wardrobe. Each piece in the collection is simplistic yet stands out on its own while pairing easily with others.

In 2005 Chloe was captured by the BLM in what continues to be a cruel practice of "gathering" or rounding up mustangs off of public lands - often injuring or killing them in the process. (For more information about wild horse round ups please visit The American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign to learn more about the issue and what you can do to help.)
The picture above is of a helicopter chasing a herd of mustangs during one such round up-I cannot imagine how terrifying this must be for them.
Chloe spent about a year in a BLM holding facility before she was adopted by a crazy woman who supposedly ran a rescue. I am purposely choosing not to mention more details about this case because I do not want her to know where these horses are. In December of 2007 several wonderful people convinced the county sheriff to seize 27 of her horses who were being starved to death. Two other Flowery herd members, Daisy and Lily, were also rescued from that horrible place. The picture above is of Chloe in a safe haven before she was transported to the next "rescue." Sigh...she looks like a little sweet teenage girl, doesn't she?
In a cruel twist of fate Chloe broke her pelvis and injured a rear fetlock during the rescue when she panicked and fell while she was being vaccinated in a cattle chute. Sadly this is the reality of moving large numbers of unhandlable wild horses.
Unfortunately, the amount of starvation she endured seems to have caused some organ damage and last fall she battled Acute Renal Failure. She stopped eating her hay and grain, began drinking vast quantities of water and plainly just didn't feel good.
Blood tests revealed that her kidneys were failing so we did what we could to give her every chance at surviving including 2 weeks of large quantities of IV fluids. She and I had come a long way by then and I spent 4-5 hours at a time with her getting her 40-60 liters of IV fluids warmed up in the freezing temperatures, sedating her, hooking up the IV line to her jugular catheter, and then spending time with her, just talking and singing and snuggling, while the life saving fluids poured into her veins. And it worked! For a while anyway.
This is a video I made after she made it through the worst of her illness - I posted it on our introductory blog post but it is worth reposting.
Since then she has somehow managed to find a way to compensate and live with Chronic Kidney Failure. During the past 4 months she has kept her kidneys happy by drinking 2-3 times more water than normal and by slurping on her salt block as if her life depended on it (which I suppose it did!)
Sadly I am not sure what changed in the past few weeks but suddenly her water intake has dropped to normal levels. This would be a wonderful sign if everything else was normal but she has also decreased her food intake dramatically. My horses normally each eat about 15-18 lbs of grass hay per day during the winter (that's 1.5-2% of their body weight). Chloe is eating significantly less than 10 lbs/grass hay per day.
We do not know what is going on but we are concerned. My vet is consulting with specialists and we are watching her closely. The most important thing is that our girl is happy, loving, and playful so we are doing our best to hold onto that. This video was taken 2 weeks ago, just a few days after I noticed the sudden decrease in water intake. She looks pretty happy and silly, don't you think? Heck...maybe she's decided to eat less because bikini weather is around the corner :) See? I'm trying to focus on the moment...just like my sweet mustang taught me!
Chloe is one of the most human-centric animals I have ever known-she stares longingly up as us from her paddock, hoping we will come down and hang out with her. Usually she wants mr smrp or I to scritch her in all of her itchy spots. But sometimes she just wants to be near us. She loves to go on walks and last weekend our trainer took her on a long hand walk down our driveway and up the trails into the woods. My trainer came back in awe: "it was like walking a golden retriever!" she exclaimed. And I am not the least surprised :)
I chuckled as I realized how well that description fit our wiiiiiild mustang. If there is one dream that I can imagine my sweet spotted mustang having it is of coming into the house and hanging out as if she was one of the Guppies, or joining us on a nice afternoon hike, or snuggling on the sofa begging for a taste of my soy latte.
We may not be able to bring her inside but we sure can do our best to spoil her in every way possible so that she knows that every bit of her is loved so very dearly.
I hope so much that this will truly be The Year of The Mustang for my girl - that all of her dreams come true and that she will continue to be with us long enough to enjoy them for years to come. Regardless of what happens she is a hero in my eyes and in my heart. I have never known such a brave soul and I feel so lucky to be able to be a part of her life.
Thank you for reading Chloe's story and thank you for any love you can send her way as we fight this latest battle together.

Sure, I had a couple of short trips to Arizona when we were in our mess last year, and I kind of gloried in the fact I didn't have kids, but the truth was I was dying inside and a mess and I was driving and interviewing and looking at houses... BLECH.
Let's just say they weren't amazing.
But, as I walked through the airport yesterday, I thought about what the people next to me thought. Did they think I was some urban traveler (I think the airport is the great unifier, because while there are some people in suits, many people dress down for airplanes) with a big business meeting, when little did I know I was just a mom in disguise as someone who had something better to do.
I mean, in reality, who would I BE without kids. Although, even as I type this I'm thinking I need to call my boys to make sure they're up and ready to get Mr Middle on the bus. Please hold....
Huh, they're on task (we've practiced for like a week for them to be self-sufficient, but I still have my doubts)...
Anywho... it's interesting to think what I would be if I never took that leap and married Mr E. my Jr year of college. Would I be a nurse manager, would I be a practitioner, would I be happier?
I doubt it.
Although, I wouldn't be doing this carnival....
But I digress. Here I am sans kids. Bring on the fun!
**Huge props to my friends who are helping out with Princess P while I am gone. They're pretty much the best. And condolences to Drew... sorry, but not so sorry. :) Any of you burglars out there reading this entry... don't think so face, he'll be home in a jiffy pop to thwart your plans to take over the world's largest amount of toys. :)

Six Tips To Ensure Allergies And Asthma Don't Ruin Holiday Cheer
Holiday gatherings are festive fun, but it's not easy to be the life of the party when you're sniffling, sneezing and wheezing. From the host's overpowering perfume to the nuts in the snack bowl, holiday parties can be a challenge for people with allergies and asthma.

Sign up to receive Center for History/Library news & events.
The Conservation Laboratory is charged with the care and preservation of NYAM's extensive collection of books, pamphlets, manuscripts, prints and archives. The Laboratory was founded in 1982, when The New York Academy of Medicine Library received a 3 to 1 matching grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to establish a preservation program. With additional donations from the Mellon Foundation, the New York Community Trust, NYAM Fellows and others, the program was officially launched in 1985. In 1992 and again in 1994, the Gladys Brooks Foundation donated funds to create a dedicated laboratory space, to purchase specialized conservation equipment and to endow a yearly internship in the study of book conservation. The lab takes its name in recognition of these and others generous gifts made over the years by the Foundation for the preservation of NYAM's library collections.
The Laboratory oversees all aspects of library preservation, including both collections maintenance and item-level conservation treatment. The Lab also coordinates the care and treatment of items in NYAM's collections that are not treated in-house, such as medical artifacts, furniture, paintings and textiles. All treatments are carried out in accordance with the Code of Ethics and Guidelines for Practice of the American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works (AIC), which mandates that conservators strive to maintain both the integrity of objects as well as their historical context and, when possible, perform treatments that are both reversible and minimally invasive.
The staff of the Conservation Laboratory are active participants in professional organizations, including both AIC and the Guild of Book Workers, and strive to provide educational and training opportunities for individuals interested in joining the conservation field.

I have burned the project to BD and save the files in the project folder.
However, on the disc, the files is muxed.
In the old day of DVD, demux is pretty easy to get back m2v and ac3.
In the base of BD, how do get back m4v and ac3? Is there a demuxer that can do this?
I want to make a tiny change to the Encore project (menu). I've saved all the files needed for the projects except m4v and ac3, which I expect to be able to extract from the disc when needed (done that for DVD). If I replaced it with .h264 file, I'd have to go through the whole workflow again.
I have created an Encore project a while back, completed it and burned the BD.
After that, I've lost the original m4v and ac3 files. But all files in the Encore project folders are saved.
Now, I'd like to make a minor change in the menu. If I open the project now, it will ask me where are the m4v and ac3 files. I am hoping to extract them from the disc, precise down to each frame.
Is there way to do so? Thanks
Ann is correct. To clarify, your M4V and AC3 files are gone forever. When En built the Blu-ray disc, they were transcoded and converted into muxed M2TS files and put in the Stream folder on the disc.
You will have to use the ripped, muxed files to replace the menu background videos in the project. It should be as easy as re-linking the Video and Audio controls of the Motion tab of the Menu Properties to the muxed M2TS assets.

Niskala, Admirals Stop Rampage in Overtime
Jan 23, 2008
Milwaukee, WI - Over the past four games, the Milwaukee Admirals' power-play had fallen onto hard times. While they had not cashed on a man-advantage in their last sixteen opportunities, that changed Wednesday night when they notched four power-play tallies in their 5-4 overtime victory over the San Antonio Rampage at the Bradley Center.
Janne Niskala would even score the extra period game winner on the man-advantage. Center Cal O'Reilly would lead the way in scoring for the Admirals with three assists and forward Matt Ellison would get a goal and an assist of his own.
Milwaukee got on the board early capitalizing on a power-play opportunity after the Rampage's Chris Durno took a boarding penalty just 2:34 into the game. Milwaukee didn't waste any time as just 30 seconds later defenseman Cody Franson blocked a Rampage clearing chance and fired a shot on net that was deflected past Rampage netminder David LeNeveu by Kelsey Wilson.
It only took San Antonio four minutes to answer back after a long breakout pass from blueliner Brandon Bell jumped the stick of an Admirals player and settled on teammate Curtis Frasier's. Frasier bolted down the ice for a two on one. Frasier faked a pass and took a shot that flew just past Pekka Rinne's outstretched glove.
Milwaukee would regain the lead after LeNeveu could not control defenseman Niskala's shot before Ellison would poke the puck into the net at the 10:26 mark of the first.
Milwaukee's power play continued to roll on all cylinders as they converted yet again just five minutes later to take a 3-1 with 4:45 left in the first. Winger Andreas Thuresson scooped up another errant rebound left by LeNeveu and reached around LeNeveu's stick before the puck slowly rolled across the goal line.
The Rampage would end the first frame with momentum as they made it a one goal game on a Jon DiSalvatore goal with just five second remaining in the period. DiSalvatore capitalized on a loose puck in front of the Milwaukee goal when he put a shot into the top corner of the net past and outstretched Rinne.
Frasier would tie the game for the Rampage at the 13:12 into the second frame after forward Josh Gratton picked off a Milwaukee clearing pass and delivered the puck to Frasier standing unguarded in front of the Milwaukee goal. Frasier tipped the pass between the legs of Rinne and into the back of the net.
San Antonio scored their third unanswered goal at the 8:17 mark of the third period as David Spina finally broke the Admirals penalty-kill which had defended 21 straight. Spina poked in a rebound after Rinne made a sliding leg-split save on Durno.
Three minutes later, the Admirals would counter back and tie the game at four. O'Reilly skated the puck from behind the Rampage net and delivered a backhand pass to Ellison, who sent one of his own to defenseman Brian Schmidt. Schmidt released a wrist shot through traffic and over the shoulder of new netminder Josh Tordjman, who replaced LeNeveu after the first period.
The Admirals power play came through in the end as Niskala converted Milwaukee's fourth power play goal with one minute remaining in the overtime session. Milwaukee went on the man advantage with Rampage forward Joey Tenute slashed Alexander Sulzer breaking out of the zone. With Milwaukee working the 4 on 3 Niskala received a pass from Sulzer between the hashmarks. After a quick hesitation, Niskala let go of a quick wrist shot that zipped by Tordjman's stick.
The last time the Admirals scored four power play goals in a single tilt was on December 17, 2006, when they defeated the Grand Rapids Griffins 8-5.
The Admirals will try for three straight wins as they return to the Bradley Center to take on the Grand Rapids Griffins this Friday at 7:00 pm. The first 5,000 fans will receive an Admirals T-Shirt courtesy of Express Promotions. Fans can purchase tickets for Saturday or any Admirals game by calling Ticketmaster at (414) 276-4545 or online at www.ticketmaster.com.

Species & Ecosystem Science
Shorebird Ecology
Black oystercatcher on Destruction Island
Snowy plover on the Washington coast
Shorebirds are members of the order Charadriiformes which is a large and diverse group of bird species. In Washington, this group includes species in the following families: plovers, oystercatchers, avocets and stilts, sandpipers, snipes, and phalaropes.
The majority of shorebird species are associated with estuarine and freshwater wetlands and eat small invertebrates picked out of mud or exposed soil. Different lengths of bills enable different species to feed in the same habitat without competing for food. Many shorebirds have sensitive nerve endings at the end of their bills which enable them to detect prey items hidden in mud or soft soil. In general, shorebirds have low reproductive potential laying four or fewer eggs with many species rarely, if ever, re-nesting. The eggs and chicks of shorebirds are often eaten by predators which also influences shorebird reproductive potential. Many species of shorebirds migrate over a 1000 miles between nesting and over-wintering sites in the spring and fall. During migration, they concentrate and depend on a few stopover sites to refuel. As a result, shorebirds are vulnerable to changes in the quality and quantity of wetland habitats.
In Washington, shorebirds occur as year-round residents, breeding or summer residents, spring and/or fall migrants, and migrants that over-winter in the region but nest in habitats to the north. Some species, such as the killdeer and spotted sandpiper, have both resident and migrant sub-populations.
The vast majority of wintering and migratory shorebirds in Washington are found in coastal estuaries but also use other habitat types. These important habitats for Washigntons shorebirds include the Columbia River estuary, Willapa Bay, Grays Harbor, coastal Washington beaches, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Hood Canal, the San Juan Islands, and the Greater Puget Sound region.
WDFW shorebird research is focused on species status and trends, identifying mechanisms for decline and evaluating restoration and recovery efforts.
