MONTGOMERY — Daviess County Sheriff's Department officials are investigating an accident where a Montgomery man fell to his death this morning.
Today at 8:57 a.m., a 911 call was received from Hillcrest Supply Inc., 6134 E 200N, rural Montgomery, when a male caller reported that a male subject had fallen from a grain bin and was unresponsive.
Harry "Butch" S. Stoll, 56, CR 575E, Montgomery, had just completed loading a feed truck with oats. He stepped up onto a 9-inch wide "I" beam above the feed truck and the truck had pulled away to be weighed. While Stoll was walking sideways across the "I" beam, he lost his balance and fell about 16 feet to the ground.
Daviess County Coroner Dr. Stephen Cullen pronounced Stoll deceased at the scene, with the cause of death being massive head trauma.
His body was taken to Brocksmith and Wagler Funeral Home, Montgomery, where an autopsy will be performed at a later time.
An investigation into the accident is continuing.

Will Tebow's pro-life commercial affect his draft stock or marketability?
- 7:32 pm Wednesday, January 27th, 2010 by Post Staff
MOBILE, Ala. – Former 11-year NFL safety Corey Chavous says there is only one rule for rookies trying to fit in with their teammates during their first NFL season:
"Just shut up," said Chavous, now an analyst for the NFL Network. "If you just shut up and don't go in there and say too much, you'll be OK."
Former Florida quarterback Tim Tebow, however, isn't shutting up. Instead, he's opening his mouth about the country's most highly-politicized issue before he throws his first NFL pass.
Tebow and his mother, Pam, will be the subject of a controversial pro-life television ad for the conservative Christian group Focus on the Family that will air during the Super Bowl on Feb. 7.
Wednesday, the commercial continued to generate buzz on cable television and the internet. Everyone from the Wall Street Journal to CNN to Bill O'Reilly to The New Yorker magazine dedicated coverage to the commercial and its bubbling controversy.
Tebow, arguably the most popular college athlete of all time, said he has been surprised by the amount of attention his commercial is getting.
"I definitely didn't think it would have this much hype, this much buzz," he said after Wednesday's practice at the Senior Bowl. "I know some people won't agree with it, but I think they can at least respect that I stand up for what I believe, and I'm never shy about that."
And Tebow likely won't see his popularity or draft stock dip because of his public pro-life stance. Former Super Bowl MVP Kurt Warner didn't lose any sponsorships or fan support when he appeared in a 2006 commercial urging Missourians to vote against a measure that would allow embryonic stem cell research in the state.
"If anything I think it will help him, because people will see a guy who's passionate, who's got convictions and is dedicated to what he believes," said Tony Pauline, draft expert for SportsIllustrated.com. "It may piss off some people, but no NFL team is going to say, 'Don't draft him, he made an anti-abortion commercial.'"

On April 19, 1775, Paul Revere warned Middlesex County, Massachusetts that the British were coming during his famous midnight ride. In Lexington, the first shots of the American Revolution were fired at first light. Then, on June 17 in Boston, outnumbered and poorly equipped American militia defended Bunker Hill against a massive British offensive. The war for American Independence had begun!
In Bunker Hill, Nathan Edwards and Andrew Hendricks continue to aid the colonial resistance, dodging musket balls and cannon shots to serve as couriers for American officers facing a ferocious British bombardment on Boston Harbor. Meanwhile, back home, their sisters are delivering mysterious messages of their own!
Bunker Hill is the second book in the Drums of War series, set in the turbulent years of the American Revolution. The series introduces young readers to both the renowned leaders and everyday people who fought to preserve the social, political, and religious freedoms of the American colonies.
About the author: Dr. Peter Reese Doyle is the author of the popular Daring Adventure and Drums of War series for young adults. He and his wife live in Opelika, Alabama, where he pastors Trinity Presbyterian Church.
Feathered Quill Review:
On to Book Two, Bunker Hill, Paul Revere has gone on his famous midnight ride to warn Middlesex County, Massachusetts that "the British are coming." First thing in the morning the first shots of the American Revolution were fired in Lexington. That was also in April of '75. In this second book, Andrew and Nathan are pulled in to help deliver a load of goods from their fathers' business to New York. Being the good patriots that they are, the boys are helping to take gunpowder to the patriots in Cambridge, MA. They go on to do their thing of carrying messages back and forth to the Colonial Generals and their men. Meanwhile, the British ships in Boston harbor start to attack Bunker and Breed's Hills. The boys are dodging cannon fire going back and forth behind the lines.
The author really knows his subject as the reader will sit and read this book until the end non-stop even though most Americans know the story by heart. This was the first stand-up and fight battle of the Revolution and it seemed that the War for Independence had begun. The New Englanders really knew their stuff as they drove the British back three times before they finally ran out of ammunition and had to retreat.
Meanwhile, back home in Williamsburg the two girls had discovered that one of the students in their music class was a British spy, so they are also holding up their end of the family business. Also, in this installment, the Clouds of War are gathering and the delegates of the Continental Congress have just appointed Colonel (soon to be General) George Washington to lead the Continental Army. Washington, at this time, has vowed to drive the British out of Boston.

Today's weather forecast: Dreamy
Just in time for Mardi Gras, Southern food in L.A. has become as hot as andouille. Newcomers like the Hart and the Hunter, Spoonful, and Sassafras are drawing diners with their shrimp boils, pimento cheese, grits, and cocktails made with Sazerac and Kentucky bourbon. The cooking of the South is built around bold but familiar flavors that are simmered with European, African, and Caribbean influences until they're as smooth as a Louisiana drawl.
"It's technically America's only indigenous cuisine," says Vinny Dotolo of Animal and Son of a Gun, who with cohort Jon Shook was invited to the Southern Foodways Alliance Symposium in Oxford, Mississippi, last October. Shook and Dotolo were among L.A.'s first chefs to riff on Southern food in a distinctly California way: fried chicken livers with heirloom tomatoes and, before the ban, biscuits topped with foie gras. Today they're far from alone.
"Southern food is refreshing in the food scene right now," says Kevin Kathman of Wolf in Sheep's Clothing, which specializes in low-country dishes with a Venice bent. That means jerk-style duck and seafood étouffée served with rice cakes. Dotolo agrees. "How long can you keep doing Chez Panisse-style, farm-to-table small plates? Southern food is different, exciting."
Brandon Boudet of Little Dom's, Dominick's, and Tom Bergin's notes that thus far we've gotten only a general taste of a diverse cuisine. "There's no one type of Southern food, just like there's no one Mexican food," says the New Orleans native. But when Fat Tuesday hits, Boudet promises po'boys, gumbo, and over at Bergin's, "the beads will be flying."

The Loyola Academy Ramblers football team is heading to the Class 8A semifinals after beating Palatine High School 19-7 Saturday in Wilmette.
The No. 2-ranked Ramblers showed their defensive prowess early and often.
The Loyola defense intercepted Palatine three times in the first half, including once on a deflected a pass during Palatine's first play from scrimmage.
Palatine's high-powered offense, which had been averaging over 44 points per game, was short circuited by a stout Loyola defense, which came up with four total interceptions and held Palatine to a season-low 180 yards of total offense.
A first-half field goal and a 48-yard touchdown drive allowed Loyola to take a 10-0 lead into halftime.
Palatine came out refocused in the second half. After a defensive stop, Palatine returned a punt 48 yards for a touchdown to pull the Pirates to within three at 10-7.
But Loyola came back on its next possession and drove 80 yards in 11 plays to make it 16-7 with 7:16 left in the third quarter.
Loyola had a chance to increase its lead late in the third quarter when the Ramblers lined up for a 29-yard field goal, but a blocked kick and kept Palatine's hopes alive.
Palatine could not take advantage of the miss, though, and Loyola went on to kick another field goal to close out the scoring and put an end to Palatine's season.
Loyola's Cody Sullivan had three interceptions and six tackles during the game, according to the Chicago Tribune.
With the win, the Ramblers move to 11-1. Loyola will host No. 7-ranked Glenbard North this Saturday at 1:00 p.m.

Popular carpenter, designer, author and television personality rallies home builders throughout the U.S. to build more than 250 Habitat homes as part of blitz project
ATLANTA (May 27, 2008) – Habitat for Humanity International has named Didiayer Snyder of ABC's "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" to be the national celebrity spokesperson for its 2008 Home Builders Blitz (www.homebuildersblitz.com [1]). The blitz is scheduled for the week of June 2, and will kick off the construction of more than 250 homes built in 110 communities throughout 34 states as part of the project. The accelerated build will serve to house more than 1,000 people.
"When we film for the show, we're focused on one home, one family each week," explained Snyder. "To think this blitz is going to house 263 families in that same time frame is astonishing. I'm honored and humbled to be a part of it."
Since 2005, Snyder has volunteered her carpentry skills at the San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity affiliate, where she met another longtime Habitat volunteer who became very influential in her life — her carpentry mentor Wally Anderson. As they've become close friends over the last three years, Anderson has observed that building and renovating houses alongside Habitat partner families has become a big part of Snyder's life, allowing her to not only advance in her building skills but also assist others in reaching their dreams of owning a home. He notes that Snyder's kindness and strength qualify her as a great Habitat ambassador. Anderson has been working with his local affiliate as a volunteer builder for more than 18 years.
"Habitat for Humanity is thrilled Didiayer has lent us her passion, enthusiasm and professional expertise to rally builders throughout the country to donate their time and talents for this one-week event," said Kevin Campbell, director of Builders Blitz 2008. "With Didiayer's help, we hope to bring light to the great efforts being put forth by the building community to house families in need and end poverty housing."
"I'm so excited! I'm already equipped for the around-the-clock schedules and used to all the work that goes into pulling off a build," said Snyder. "I'm really looking forward to my cross-country sprint to help six Habitat affiliates in one week."
As the event's celebrity spokesperson, Snyder will embark on a six-city tour, addressing and building alongside partner home builders at the following participating Habitat locations: Durham County Habitat for Humanity (Durham, N.C.); Habitat of Orange County (Chapel Hill, N.C.); Habitat of Charlotte (N.C.); Habitat of Greater Birmingham (Ala.); Lafayette Habitat (Ind.); and San Diego Habitat (Calif.).
The Builders Blitz was started in 2002 by Tom Gipson, a professional home builder in Raleigh, N.C., who supported Habitat for Humanity's efforts to eliminate poverty housing in his community. Gipson gathered other local builders for an accelerated build, which was so successful that Habitat for Humanity International decided to promote it as a nationwide event in 2006. Since the concept's inception, the professional home builders industry has assisted Habitat's mission by building in excess of 780 homes.
About Habitat for Humanity International
Habitat for Humanity International is an ecumenical Christian ministry that welcomes to its work all people dedicated to the cause of eliminating poverty housing. Since its founding in 1976, Habitat has built more than 250,000 houses worldwide, providing simple, decent and affordable shelter for more than 1 million people.

DAVIESS CO., KY (WFIE) - It was a deadly start to the Labor Day weekend.
Two people died in two different accidents in Daviess County.
"It has been extremely busy for us so far," Daviess Co. Sheriff Chief Deputy Jeff Jones said.
Driving up and down Tri-State highways on any given day is risky, but law enforcement said that risk is heightened during holiday weekends.
"Well, you have a tremendous additional amount of traffic on the road, and with the increased traffic on the road, certainly produces increased chances of being in an accident," Jones said.
Already this Labor Day weekend, the Daviess County Sheriffs office and Kentucky State Police have responded to three fatal car accidents, and two happened Saturday, just before noon.
The first one happened on Highway 231, and the second, on U.S. 60.
"The driver of unit one was trying to make a left turn onto Owensboro-Reed Road," KSP Trooper Chris McKee said. "The driver of unit one had their attention diverted, and when they looked up and realized the car was stopped in front of them, they attempted to brake but they couldn't avoiding colliding with the passenger vehicle."
Trooper McKee said 56-year-old motorcycle driver Paul Coomes showed no immediate sign of impairment, but he said two factors contributed to his death.
Coomes wasn't wearing a helmet and he was distracted.
So, what do drivers need to know to stay safe this holiday weekend?
"We would strongly encourage individuals to wear their seat belts, to leave early so they can have some extended time to get to where they're going to, to not be trying to operate their cell phone by either texting or calling," Jones said. "Operating a motor vehicle and trying to multi-task don't go hand in hand."

20 of us, our entire family, did the 3 night sampler cruise on Solstice and had an absolute ball!!!!!!!
Some of us had cruised before, most of us not. This ship is very impressive, very big and plenty to do u till the wee small hrs of the morning. Boarding was no problem and straight into the buffet for lunch, we all had drink packages which for us was the way to go & we all got our money's worth.
I would not hesitate to go on this ship again and it was by far the best ship I have been on to date.
A couple of criticisms that should be mentioned though, unfortunately!!
Given this ship is based in Australia for a number of months they need to get their beer list sorted out and the availability of the beer they say they have on board to what you can actually get! You might be able to get a certain beer at one bar but not available at another, or you may not be able to get the same beer at the same bar back to back, not nice changing beers every time you want one. The bar tenders tried to kill us with their strong mixed drinks and cocktails, all were tasty. Most of the Staff were excellent, especially the guys in the dining room, a couple of the barman were just plain rude but again the others were fantastic.
The cabins had plenty of storage and the bed was very comfortable. One other observation, the button to flush the toilet in the cabin can only be used if you put both the toilet seat and lid down!!!!, my wife thought that fine but I didn't.
This was my 4th cruise and am still not sure if cruising is my go, but I would love to go on this ship again
Concierge class, cabin 9298, on bump with larger balcony and close to elevators.
Gym was very good also

Spreading the Word on Earth Overshoot Day 2014
Media outlets around the world helped share the news of Earth Overshoot Day this year, and thanks to countless partners and supporters, a conversation about our planet's ecological deficit also took off on social media.
Earth Overshoot Day is an annual observance meant to bring attention to the risks of humanity's growing ecological deficit. This year, August 19 marked the date when humanity exhausted nature's budget for the entire year.
Highlights of Earth Overshoot Day 2014 media coverage included articles in Le Monde in France, El Mundo in Spain, and the Brasil Post in Brazil. Earth Overshoot Day also made the front page of La Stampa in Italy for the second year in a row. An online article in The Guardian in the UK generated 92 comments. In Switzerland, a Q&A with Bruno Oberle, director of the Swiss Ministry of Environment, was featured on the ministry's website.
Les Echos in France published an article about Earth Overshoot Day as well as a lengthy Q&A with Global Footprint Network President Mathis Wackernagel. Thomson Reuters ran an op-ed by CEO Susan Burns on the link between resource restraints and national economics. Reuters TV also produced a segment about Earth Overshoot Day featuring our partner, Wendy Arenas, founder and executive director of ALISOS - Alianzas para la Sostenibilidad, in Columbia, which made Thomson Reuters' list of top 100 stories for the day.
In Asia, Beijing News ran a feature on Earth Overshoot Day in its Sunday Earth Supplement. In Japan, Yomiuri Shimbun, one of the five national newspapers there, featured a short article, and Naoki Adachi, a leading voice in the corporate social responsibility field, wrote a blog post on Earth Overshoot Day.
Stories about Earth Overshoot Day also reached such diverse countries as Kenya, Romania, Cuba and Australia.
A TV news station in France took a lighter approach to the Earth Overshoot Day news, with clips of a small inflatable globe rolling through the streets.
A coalition of German activists in Berlin led by INKOTA used an even larger inflatable Earth to draw attention to Earth Overshoot Day at a gathering in Alexanderplatz. Participants in the event symbolically sucked the resources from the Earth until it collapsed onto the ground as part of their call for a more sustainable use of resources to enable a good life for future generations.
In China, students participated in an Earth Overshoot Day activity that involved answering questions and performing tasks to reduce the planet's Ecological Footprint. Our partners WWF-China helped coordinate that event in addition to getting the word out about Earth Overshoot Day throughout the country.
In the social media world, we were thrilled to see our first Facebook post announcing Earth Overshoot Day shared by more than 500 supporters. Our first Tweet on Earth Overshoot Day garnered nearly 42,000 impressions, according to Twitter.
Thank you for helping us raise awareness about Earth Overshoot Day and move a step closer toward ensuring our entire society lives well within the means of nature.

The Effect of Rising Temperatures on the Energy-Water Nexus
May and June this year were the hottest ever since record-keeping began in 1880, according to a new National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration report. 2014 could go down as the warmest year yet, exceeding the previous records set in 2003 and 2013.
There's no question that the Earth is warming, ancient ice is melting and sea levels are rising. Friends of Global Footprint Network are well aware of many of the risks that anthropogenic climate change poses, particularly to the world's poorest regions.
A risk that remains under-appreciated, however, is the impact that water availability will have on energy, and that constrained energy supply will have on water.
After food production, electricity generation is the second-largest consumer of water globally. Thermal power plants – those powered by coal, natural gas, oil and nuclear – consume vast amounts of water in their cooling cycles. A single nuclear reactor can consume over 15 million gallons of water per day. Power generation accounts for 41 percent of freshwater withdrawals and about three percent of freshwater consumption (3.3 billion gallons of water per day) in the United States.
Warmer temperatures have been taking a toll on these thirsty facilities. Every summer, a lack of water (or of water that is sufficiently cold) forces power plants to shut down. Inadequate and irregular rainfall has also forced hydropower facilities to shut down, such as the Shivanasamudra plant in southern India this month.
Just as producing power requires water, producing water requires power. In California, one-fifth of the state's electrical power is used to pump, treat, transport, heat, cool and recycle water. Agriculture consumes 80 percent of the water in the state, which produces one-third of the vegetables and two-thirds of the fruits and nuts consumed in the United States.
This year is on track to be the driest in the history of recorded rainfall in the state, and has already forced cattle ranchers to pare down their herds and almond farmers to plow under their trees. Food prices across the nation have crept up due to the drought.
California is emblematic of the predicament that the world now faces. A growing population puts water, food, and energy supplies under even more pressure even as they are increasingly strained by climate change. But the most accessible solutions often lead to destructive feedback loops. For example, California's current plan to replace the 2.2 gigawatts of power generation from the San Onofre Nuclear Generation Station, which was shut down in 2012, is likely to rely substantially on new power generation from natural gas, which will pump even more CO2 into the atmosphere and increase the probability of future droughts.
As we anticipate the announcement of Earth Overshoot Day this year, which will arrive earlier than ever, it's worth contemplating how we can find a way out of our predicament, and find real and enduring solutions to the knot of problems in the energy-water nexus. As many have observed, it is really an energy-water-food-economy-security-and-everything nexus, because energy and water are so fundamental to life. Eliminating waste, and using the precious resources we have as efficiently as possible, is the obvious place to start – and that's a challenge we can all help to answer.

Dr. Wackernagel Wins Prestigious Kenneth E. Boulding Award
Dear Supporters,
Global Footprint Network is thrilled to announce that Co-Founder and President Dr. Mathis Wackernagel and Dr. William Rees, co-creators of the Ecological Footprint, have been named the winners of the 2012 Kenneth E. Boulding Award, the world's top honor in the field of ecological economics.
The International Society for Ecological Economics (ISEE), made the announcement leading up to the Rio+20 Earth Summit, the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD), in Rio de Janeiro, where the awards will be presented.
The biennial award is given to "outstanding individuals who have contributed original and seminal approaches that have furthered our understanding of the interfaces between the social, ecological, ethical, economic and political dimensions of our world," said the ISEE in announcing the award.
Building on Rees' earlier work on human carrying capacity, Wackernagel and Rees in the early 1990s developed the Ecological Footprint, the world's premier resource accounting system, to track humanity's demands on nature. The Ecological Footprint measures the area of productive land and water, or "biocapacity," required to produce the resources a human population consumes and to absorb its carbon waste.
For the last 10 years, Global Footprint Network has contributed to WWF's bi-annual flagship publication "The Living Planet Report," which has become a key publication for Ecological Footprint results. The 2012 edition was released in May from the International Space Station, generating the largest media response of any Living Planet Report so far. The latest Global Footprint Network calculations show that humanity's demand for bio-resources exceeds the long-term regenerative capacity of Earth by over 50 percent.
"Ever more countries continue to use more resources than they can renew within their own boundaries," Drs. Wackernagel and Rees said. "Until countries begin tracking and managing their biocapacity deficits, they put not only themselves at risk but, more importantly, the entire planet."
The award will be presented at the ISEE Conference 2012 in Rio de Janeiro on June 19, where Wackernagel and Rees will deliver the keynote Boulding Award lectures.
Dr. Wackernagel has promoted sustainability on six continents and lectured at more than 100 universities. Dr. Rees is an ecologist, ecological economist, Founding Director of the One Earth Initiative, Professor Emeritus and former Director of the University of British Columbia's School of Community and Regional Planning.
Kenneth E. Boulding (1910-1993) was President of the American Economics Association and American Association for the Advancement of Science. Past notable recipients include Herman Daly (American economist, considered the father of Ecological Economics) and Manfred Max-Neef, author of Real-Life Economics: Understanding Wealth Creation.
We thank you, our valued partners and supporters, for helping to promote our work around the world, and making awards such as these possible as we continue to make ecological limits central to decision-making.

New iPad App Teaches Children about Sustainability with Interactive Stories
Given humanity's increasing demands on Earth's resources, it's never too early to start teaching the next generation lessons about sustainability and our Ecological Footprint.
One of most effective ways to learn is through story. A brother and sister team, Cecilia and Gyula Simonyi, have created Children of the Elements, a series of illustrated interactive stories for the iPad. They envision the app as a tool for parents to tackle the complex subject with their children. Cecilia and Gyula have worked with their father, who is the founder and President of the BOCS Foundation in Hungary, a Global Footprint Network partner organization.
Children of the Element is an educational app, hand-painted on 40 screens and presented in English and Hungarian. The app provokes thinking systematically about sustainability by exploring food, transportation, energy, technology, consumption, population and related issues, and weaving them into stories that show their interconnectedness.
Cecilia and Gyula have launched a campaign on the crowdfunding site Kickstarter to raise funds to fully develop the series and reach a wider audience. While aimed for children ages 8 years and older, the stories are no doubt entertaining and edifying for adults as well. It follows four young children as they explore their world, giving readers an opportunity to make decisions for each character. Each episode addresses a different sustainability topic. Funds raised through the Kickstarter campaign will be used for a programmer, music, and special-effects.
"Our goal is to introduce the true face of sustainability, the complexity, the far-reaching impacts and reactions, and offer this in a format understandable and enjoyable by children," says Gyula, the project manager. "With this series we hope to trigger real understanding, rather than oversimplifying (with) messages like 'don't litter.' Our goal is to stimulate questions, generate discussion and inspire change in choices our readers make.
"Being a mother, I feel the most important knowledge I can give my child is how to live in harmony with our planet," says Cecilia, author and illustrator of the stories, and mother of a 4-year-old. "Children growing up today are going to face all the challenges our generation have left behind for them to solve."
Kickstarter allows backers to pledge various amounts to support the creative projects of their choice. If the project reaches its pledge goal by the end of the funding period, the pledges are collected and sent to the project team. However, if the full amount is not raised by the deadline, no money changes hands. On Kickstarter, backers are not only donating money to a project that inspires them, but their pledge is honored with special gifts the project creator offers.
To watch the campaign video and help make the full Children of the Elements series happen, visit their Kickstarter page. And stay up to date by visiting their Facebook page and Cecilia's blog, which has new illustrations.
Editors update (July 3, 2012): The Kickstarter campaign is over, but the project is not. Follow the progress on the Children of the Elements blog.

UNEP FI Project Launch Follow Up
The joint project between the UN Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) and Global Footprint Network to assess the financial materiality of ecological risk was launched at the UN Foundation in Washington DC on 17 October 2011. Opening remarks from Paul Clements-Hunt (Head of UNEP FI) and Susan Burns (Senior Vice President of Global Footprint Network) showed a clear commitment from both organisations to this potentially ground breaking project. Richard Burrett, of Earth Capital Partners, also gave an inspiring presentation detailing not only the importance of this project but also how investors currently perceive the financial relevance of natural resources.
It is clear that the tightening constraints on resources and their potential impacts on national economies are not included within current financial analysis. Yet such factors are thought to have growing implications for the long-term credit risk of many government bonds, especially those with long-dated maturities.
A host of financial institutions were in attendance at the launch and participated in a stimulating discussion around the evidence base to show that ecological risks are becoming material for economies and how key ecological data can be linked to the financial and economic indicators. This project will endeavour to shine a light on such questions to explore the role of natural resource accounting in strengthening risk models for government bonds.
Global Footprint Network and UNEP FI would like to thank all those who participated in the launch event and invite any other institutions who are interested to join the project.

Living Well in a World of 7 Billion
Humanity has reached a new milestone as we hit 7 billion. Never before have there been 7 billion people on planet earth, all at the same time. As we welcome the 7th billion global inhabitant, we also acknowledge the challenges we will face due to a burgeoning population explosion, resource depletion, food and water scarcity and overcrowded cities. This is especially true at a time when humanity as a whole is already using the planets regenerative capacity 50 percent faster than it can renew.
Although humanity's total demand is unsustainable, this consumption is very unevenly distributed among the 7 billion people. A large portion of humanity does not have enough resources to secure even their most basic subsistence needs. This suffering is intolerable. It affects the rest of humanity, too, most visibly through conflict and instability.
Therefore, Global Footprint Network is mapping how much nature we have, how much we use, and who uses what. In a crowded, resource constrained world this information helps decision makers understand our present resource situation and find options for avoiding unpleasant consequences.

Participate in the 2012 Ecological Footprint Standards
Global Footprint Network is the standard setting body for the only Ecological Footprint standards in the world. The Ecological Footprint standards set forth quality criteria for Ecological Footprint studies of sub-national populations, organizations, and products. The goal of the Ecological Footprint Standards is to build consensus among practitioners regarding Ecological Footprint methodology, transparency, and communications. This consensus is important because it helps to establish a forum or a common platform for understanding and communicating about natural resource constraints. To that end, the Ecological Footprint Standards are used as a way of maintaining the scientific credibility and accuracy of Ecological Footprint studies, the policy relevance, and the consistency and appropriateness with which the method is applied and findings communicated.
Global Footprint Network's Ecological Footprint Standards have been established through a committee-based process that incorporates input from our Partnership Network and Public Comment. The Global Footprint Network Standards Committee is starting the process to review and revise the Ecological Footprint Standards. Participation in the Committee and Procedures for the Committee are outlined in Global Footprint Network Committees Charter. The result of this process will be updates to the 2009 Ecological Footprint Standards to be released towards the end of 2012.
Improving comparability The original goal of the Ecological Footprint Standards is to increase the quality, reliability and consistency of Footprint assessments. As the Ecological Footprint is being adopted by a growing number of government agencies, organizations and communities as a measure of environmental performance, there is an even greater need for quality, consistency, and reliability. This review and revision process for the 2012 Ecological Footprint Standards is a way to maintain this goal of improving comparability.
In addition, as the Ecological Footprint methodology is applied in different circumstances by different practitioners, advances to the methodology and communications strategies are being made. Conducting a review and revision process every three years allows Global Footprint Network to stay on top of advances in Ecological Footprint science and application. By engaging with experts, our Partner Network, and public comment every three years, our Ecological Footprint Standards can allow for a dynamic process that encourages innovation and action.
Your feedback is welcome during the entire process! Before the revised Standards are finalized in 2012, there will be two 60-day Public Review periods, one in March – May 2012 and the second in July – September 2012. These are your opportunities to provide more input as the draft develops.

How a Carbon Tax Will Help Australia Compete
In recent weeks, opponents of a proposed carbon tax have succeeded in fanning fear that the tax could hurt national competitiveness by denting demand for Australia's coal and mining sectors. Yet such fears are decidedly misplaced. The Gillard government's plan to put a levy on the worst contributors to carbon pollution reflects a move toward pricing that is rooted firmly in the ecological realities of the 21st century. It is pricing that promotes forward-looking investment and innovation, rather than subsidizing an outmoded status quo. And it is pricing that will ultimately mean more jobs and better lives for Australian residents, and more stability for the Australian economy.
Coal and mining executives protest that jobs could be lost if importing countries such as China and Japan have a reason to seek out other markets. Such concerns, however, beg a question: If jobs are lost today because of an uptick in the cost of doing business, what will be the impact on the sector as the global marketplace moves to cleaner, greener solutions? In a world facing climate change and growing constraints on resources, the good money is on those industries that lead the way in energy efficiency and clean technology. Australia's mining sector—in particular its coal industry—is on the other end of that spectrum, topping the list in carbon pollution and environmental demand.
"We really need to stop thinking that this will mean acting out ahead of the world," GE Capital's regional chief executive Steve Sargent was quoted as saying in a recent article in Business Day. "We actually have a long way to catch up. Germany has broken the nexus between strong economic growth, strong trade growth, and increasing greenhouse gas emissions. With Australia, we have gotten worse."
The booming profits of the coal and mining sector mask a growing cost to the health of another of Australia's most important assets: its vast ecological wealth. Australia ranks seventh in the world in biocapacity, the amount of renewable natural resources its ecosystems can provide.
If well-managed, this self-replenishing source of wealth will offer Australia continued advantages, both in supplying the resources the rest of the world needs, and in providing for the needs of its own people. In a world in which the supply of renewable natural resources is shrinking while demand mushrooms, the potential value of this asset is inestimable. But there is a key problem: the principal is eroding.
Between 1961 and 2007, the most recent year for which data are available, Australia's biocapacity per person fell by more than half, due largely to a similar amount of capacity being divided by a growing number of people. Total biocapacity has declined by about five percent. At the same time, Australia's Ecological Footprint, the amount of productive land and sea required to produce the resources it consumes and absorb CO2 emissions, is the 12th largest in the world, and the country is one of the world's highest per-capita emitters of carbon dioxide. This degree of resource-intensity implies significant changes not only to key sectors but to society as a whole if Australia is to keep step with the rest of world.
Analysis by investment firms such as Goldman Sachs, Citi, Deutsche Bank and JP Morgan have put the impact of the tax at less than two percent of earnings for all but a very few Australian companies. These are negligible impacts in a time of soaring profits, and they scarcely approach the true costs of emissions.
The Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering assessed that, for every megawatt hour produced by brown coal, a cost of $50 in greenhouse gas pollution and health impacts accrues to society. Such costs are paid for by citizens or borrowed against Australia's future in ways such as depleted ecosystems and lost agricultural productivity.
The Gillard government's plan to institute a carbon tax recognizes a key reality: If we continue to build our success on using ever more resources, we are preparing for our demise. If instead, we invest in building environmental capital and reducing ecological demand, we can adjust more comfortably, and even profitably, to a changing world. Mechanisms that help us do so are anything but uncompetitive. They are a strategy for managing our economy with an eye to the future rather than the past.
Carbon Footprint, Ecological Limits
What would it take to make Hong Kong sustainable?
Hong Kong residents are living beyond the Earth's means, according to a report released Sunday by Global Footprint Network and WWF.
As a society that relies extensively on resources from abroad, Hong Kong is particularly vulnerable to growing global constraints on resources, the report says. But in spite of its unsustainable consumption, there are a number of readily available measures that would enable Hong Kong to reduce its pressure on ecological services, and enable it to achieve a one-planet Ecological Footprint.
The Hong Kong Ecological Footprint Report, issued every two years, aims to provide a benchmark to track Hong Kong residents' shifts in consumption, from which trends can be identified and actions proposed.
The 2010 report reveals that if everyone in the world lived a similar lifestyle to that of Hong Kong residents, we would need the equivalent of 2.2 Earths. In 2007, the most recent year for which data are available, Hong Kong residents had an average per person Ecological Footprint of 4.0 global hectares (hectares with world-average productivity). This level of demand is more than double the 1.8 gha that was available per person globally in 2007 to produce renewable resources and absorb CO2.
"Unsustainable demand on a global scale means that countries and regions such as Hong Kong will find it increasingly harder to meet their resource needs simply by relying on ecological services from abroad," said Dr. Wackernagel. "The more it can provide a high quality of life for its residents on a smaller Ecological Footprint, Hong Kong will not only address global risks, but more directly, it will make its economy more resilient facing the future."
The largest portion of Hong Kong's Ecological Footprint—60 percent—comes from carbon dioxide emissions. Hong Kong's carbon Footprint per person has grown 24-fold since 1962. While 26 percent of its carbon Footprint comes from CO2 emitted from within Hong Kong itself (for example, from vehicles and electricity use), the majority, 74 percent is embodied in goods and services produced abroad. Some 58 million tonnes of CO2 are emitted elsewhere to supply imports to Hong Kong.
Other major drivers of Hong Kong's Footprint are consumption of seafood and timber products, which are mostly from unsustainable sources.
But there are reasons for optimism. In contrast to the rest of China, Hong Kong's Ecological Footprint per person has declined 25 percent and leveled off since it peaked in the late 1990s. While it is no doubt benefiting from some increased efficiencies in the city, the decline appears largely due to vagaries in the trade of the embodied carbon of goods and natural resources, and of cropland products. It is mostly not the result of sustainable development policies.
One key way Hong Kong could reduce its Footprint is by boosting the market for sustainable goods. "Consumers can demand that the seafood and timber products we consume are produced sustainably," notes Dr Andy Cornish, Director, Conservation at WWF-Hong Kong. "In this way we can leverage Hong Kong's buying power and act as a regional catalyst to drive natural resource producers towards sustainability. In turn, this will create an increased and reliable supply of sustainable products for Hong Kong."
With 70 percent of the average carbon Footprint coming from household consumption (as opposed to businesses or public infrastructure and services), individual choices have a key role to play. The report calls on Hong Kong to reduce excessive, inefficient and wasteful consumption. It also calls for transforming its modest agriculture, aquaculture and fisheries industries to minimize their impact to the environment.
"Solutions are readily available, and Hong Kong is a city used to reinventing itself," the report concludes. "Reducing Hong Kong's Ecological Footprint per person by half would approximate the biocapacity that is available globally and, therefore, make it a logical and sustainable objective."

Is Columbia's Five Points safe? It's a question that continually comes up after what seems like a flurry of violence.
In a statement released Tuesday afternoon, University of South Carolina President Harris Pastides says the shooting that paralyzed an 18-year-old student should be a turning point.
"It is evident that
Five Points after midnight is not currently a safe enough place for
our students or for anyone," claimed Pastides.
Pastides says there are several things that can be done to improve safety in the dining and entertainment district.
First, Pastides wants an increased law enforcement presence in the area.
"There should
be an increased deployment of sworn officers who will focus on
the prevention of criminal activity," said Pastides.
Pastides is also hoping to see all businesses in the area closed at 2 a.m.
Another option Pastides suggests turns Five Points into a pedestrian-only area on Friday and
Saturday nights.
As for the university's part in ensuring the safety of students, Pastides says the school will promote and provide other activities for students on weekends rather than having them go to Five Points.
"We cannot let this
happen again," said Pastides of the shooting. "This student has been described as 'determined, a very
hard worker and a fighter.' In tribute to her tenacity, let us also be
determined. Let us work hard to ensure that Five Points and our entire city is
safe and ours to enjoy."

Save Boggy Creek Golf Club
The topic is Boggy Creek Golf Club. It is a small, raggedy nine hole golf course filled with great people many of whom have served this country in the armed forces. Sadly, the golf course will be closed January 31 after nearly 30 years and it will likely be built into a parking lot, ending the family atmosphere and the social life of many outstanding senior citizens. It is a "Cheers-where everyone knows your name" sort of place to many of us. We want to appeal to the Navy and The City of Orlando to keep the course open or to give us more time to find a solution to keep it open.

Software Engineer III Interview (Negative Experience; Easy Interview)
I applied through an employee referral and the process took 2 weeks - interviewed at F5 Networks in February 2014.
Interview Details Interview process is longer than most other tech companies.
Had 1 phone screen with the hiring manager about my current work and 1 algorithmic question.
Had 8 onsite 1:1 interviews with a paper-based coding test. The paper-based coding test is what you would give to a college student.
All interviewers were nice and friendly. All asked me 1 coding problem and 1 general question about either networking, OO programming or security. Not all interviewers asked me about my current work.
Interview Question – All questions were easy, nothing difficult. The interview process was too long. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – Negotiation experience was bad. Its difficult to get them to quote higher salaries because they have hard set ranges for different level. This is a problem when you are coming from a big or high-paying tech firm. You would most certainly have to go for a lower pay.

Product Release Manager, Product Development Interview (Positive Experience; Easy Interview)
I applied online and the process took 3 weeks - interviewed at F5 Networks in January 2014.
Interview Details Pretty straight forward. I had a phone interview with the recruiter first and then later that week she scheduled an in person interview at the office. I interviewed with the recruiter again, then two team members, the manager, and the director (all 30min meetings back to back). I prepared well in advance of the interview so I was ready for 95% of the questions before they were asked.
Interview Question – None really, but be prepared to answer the following:
1. Why do you want to work for F5? This question WILL be asked
2. What are your strengths/weaknesses?
3. Give me an overview of your last job.
4. Answer questions specific to your resume
5. Scale of 1-10, how familiar are you with system tools - Microsoft office, Agile or SQL?
6. Why did you leave the last company?
7. Explain any time gaps in resume
8. What are some of your leadership experiences?
9. Describe an accomplishment you are most proud of.
10. Do you have any questions - AND OF COURSE YOU DO. ;) View Answer
Negotiation Details – They offered me an increased salary, bonus's, stock, full benefits, 401K match. The offer was very generous and I did not feel the need to negotiate and respond with a counter offer.
Accepted Offer
Positive Experience
Difficult Interview
Principal Software Engineer Interview (Positive Experience; Difficult Interview)
I applied online and the process took 4+ weeks - interviewed at F5 Networks in March 2014.
Interview Details Very thorough process that involved a phone screen, followed by an on-site interview with ~6 others. The on-site interview started with a small/simple paper exercise on basic programming questions. This appeared to be used to seed one of the interviews. The individual one-on-one sessions were done with talented folks from those fairly new to long term veterans of F5. Each interview was unique, but each seemed more of a collaborative investigation more than simple questions and answers. White board work and general talk through things was encouraged. Overall felt like a solid interview such that when I received the offer, I was sure that I would be a good fit.
Interview Question – Questions weren't limited to my area of experience and some were more of a collaborative investigation with a subject matter expert. Working through questions about allocating tight structures and then manipulating them were challenging for on-the-spot work, but were actually fun in the end. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – The whole process of moving to the offer was slowish and methodical as F5 takes hiring seriously in terms of budgeting and job fit. Negotiation was limited to relocation funds.

Software Engineer II Interview (Positive Experience; Difficult Interview)
I applied through another source and the process took 3 weeks - interviewed at F5 Networks.
Interview Details I was cold called off my LinkedIn profile then went through a phone screen. It was 2 algorithm questions followed up by general person questions and information about the job.
I was then flown out for an in person interview. They put me up in a pretty nice hotel within walking distance of the HQ where my interview was taking place. It started off with a written test covering java fundamentals as well as a short coding problem. I then had 7 back to back interviews that lasted the rest of the day. (Lunch was purchased for me by the boss of the team I was interviewing for and over lunch it was a very informal interview, mostly me asking questions about the job and the team and getting answers)
The interviews covered asking me to design a program on a whiteboard, code on a whiteboard covering data structures and algorithms, multi-threading, concurrency as well as being asked about SQL backend and databases. They hit as many bases as possible They interviewers were good with coaching and hints. They don't expect you to be perfect which is really nice. Overall I'd say I did really well on 2 of the interviews, good on 3 of the interviews, just ok on 1 and really bombed the last one at the end of the day but still got the offer.
Interview Question – How would you design an backend SQL database system for very large loads? (I have no database experience and my resume reflected this so this question really caught me off guard) Answer Question
Negotiation Details – A little back and forth with HR. I was able to negotiate a higher salary. They also seemed to be interviewing for multiple levels of Software Engineer and allowed me to pick to be hired as a I or a II. I was able to get a verbal agreement on an offer about a week after the interview but it took them another few weeks to get that in writing. They had some issues with getting a relocation package ready they said. This put me off some but wasn't a big deal at the end of the day.

Product Development Response Manager Interview (Positive Experience; Difficult Interview)
I applied through a recruiter and the process took 6+ weeks - interviewed at F5 Networks in April 2014.
Interview Details HR called me, organised a quick telephonic conversation to brief the expectation of the role, followed by Hiring manager round of interview. Later I was called onsite for 7 round of interview with 2 development manager, 1 incident manager, 1 product manager, 1 program manager, 1 test manager and lastly hiring manager. I was offered a job where HR called to discuss the offer verbally followed by negotiations and the final offer was sent to me by email. F5 was quite open in date of joining based on my availability and moved fast in bringing me onboard. HR coordinator worked with me for joining formalities and great set of documents on F5 Reference guide, Background check and benefits packet was shared to make my onboarding smooth. On joining my office was setup with laptop, backpack and many goodies
Interview Question – Your customer is too angry because previous solutions given, caused multiple other failures. How would you deal with this customer? Answer Question

If you have sharp linux skills, and fair to middlin people skills, you can land this job.
Negotiation Details – There was no negotiation. They offered me the highest dollar posted on glassdoor for this position, and I took it.

Nearly 250 chefs were nominated to compete in the Great American Seafood Cookoff August 3rd in New Orleans. Out of the 14 actually selected to compete, one is Chef Rizwan Ahmed, owner and chef of Bristol's Hourglass Brasserie.
This is the first time anyone from Rhode Island has competed. Ahmed says, "I realized that Rhode Island has never been, and I thought we are the Ocean State! We should be at the top of the list!"
When cooking, Ahmed focuses on local products and sustainability. His dish is called Pavé Of Parmesan & Curry Crusted Pollock. It will have pickled cauliflower, smoked artichokes, confit of fingerling potatoes, edamame, bone marrow bordelaise, and Point Judith caramelized squid.
Chef Ahmed is excited to be representing the state, "it's an honor, it's fantastic, to me it's a dream come true."

You have an incomplete link there. You need some text for the link to appear, something like this:

You can't just have an empty link like . Look at the code for any links on your site. None of them are empty like that. You need a closing  tag, with text in between that becomes the linked text. Images are different in this respect.
