Quick hits from the final pension advisory group meeting
September 12th, 2011 at 1:40 pm by Ted Nesi under Nesi's NotesMembers of the Chafee-Raimondo pension advisory group took the gloves off – briefly – at their fourth and final meeting on Monday, in another sign the pension debate is shifting from a wonky academic discussion to a fierce political fight. But it didn't last long.
"I have never been in a group that has had such disagreements and been so civil," marveled Richard Licht, Governor Chafee's director of administration and proxy on the pension group.
As planned, the 12-member panel finished their work without taking any specific action – they didn't issue a final report or take a vote on specific recommendations. But they did spend a few months analyzing and debating a huge amount of information on retirement financing.
A number of people have dismissed the group's work as smoke and mirrors, but it's important to remember who was taking part in (and learning from) those discussions – notably Licht and Deputy Treasurer Mark Dingley, Treasurer Raimondo's proxy. Their views are likely to play a pivotal role in shaping the legislation the governor and treasurer submit to lawmakers before their special session next month.
What's next? Raimondo will brief state senators on the pension issue this afternoon, and the House and Senate finance committee will kick off a series of three joint hearings about the problem this Wednesday. There's no timeline yet for the unveiling of the Raimondo-Chafee bill, but it should happen by early next month.
In the meantime, here are some highlights from today's meeting:

Santa Barbara County Sheriff's deputies arrested a Casmalia man on drug related charges.
The Sheriff's Office says Joseph Davirro Junior was arrested during a routine probation search.
Sheriff's detectives say Davirro showed the signs of being under the influence of a controlled substance.
After a search of his trailer, detectives found evidence of methamphetamines.
Davirro was arrested last week and posted bail on Friday.

1. Scope
1. Scope This standard establishes requirements and considerations for fretting and corrosion testing of modular femoral heads for use in conjunction with hip stems. 1.1 Purpose: This guide establishes requirements and considerations for fretting and corrosion testing of modular femoral heads that are taper locked on a femoral hip stem taper. A method is provided that describes the setup and load for the corrosion test as well as a method to measure the ions that are released. The recommended content of an engineering report covering the mechanical test is presented.
4. Significance and Use 4.1 This test method is intended to comparatively assess the fretting and corrosion behavior of the taper connection between a modular femoral head and hip stem taper. The method is not intended for long term cyclic performance, but was designed to induce a significant amount of fretting and corrosion while allowing the inclusion of an 8 hour rest period during each 24 hour test period. This was done because it was found that the absence of the rest period yielded results that did not accurately represent the corrosion taking place in-vivo1. 4.2 For simplicity, this method does not use an actual hip stem, therefore any effects on fretting and corrosion due to hip stem design would need to be evaluated separately.
Fatigue; Fretting; Corrosion; Hip; Modular; Taper; NeckThe title and scope are in draft form and are under development within this ASTM Committee.

I grew up on Canvey Island in Essex. After graduating with a BA 1st Hon in Fine Art from Portsmouth in 1984, during which long summer I hitchhiked all around Italy, my career ambitions to be an Illustrator didn't quite take off as I'd hoped. Looking back I see it was more akin to the development of modern rocketry with numerous failed launches off the drawing pad while working as a stone restorer\fixer-mason and squatting with lentil-splitting zeros around the Brixton area of London until the early 90′s. However, I continued my doodling productions with self-published comics, gig posters, flyers etc and of course my portfolio which was, after completing a course at St Martins, orientated toward childrens book publishers.
My break came from IPC Magazines with their TV publication: 'Look In!' (for kids) for which I illustrated a weekly two-page comic. Contrastingly I also illustrated for ESCAPE (one of the 1st lads mags) and humorous fiction features for 3 adult monthlys. Oh and there was Moody DJ (comic feature for SELECT, a music monthy.) This was a busy period honing a confident yet flexible drawing style. However, the industry by this time was undergoing economic rationalisation with new high tech printers – remember Wapping?! The final eviction notice also came in timely fashion and that spurred me on to go get a tourist visa bound for Sydney where eventually I landed 4 or 5 editorial pieces from the Sydney Morning Herald and Penthouse. That however lasted only 6 months due to ozy visa restrictions. So by way of serendipity I then found myself bartering my skills as a designer of all sorts in Bali, amongst the American expat community there. Probably would still be there today if I hadn't flipped my motorbike and scraped off a portion of my leg's epidermis down the Rumjungle road.
I returned around 1997 to settle in Brighton where I joined the Brighton Illustrators Group and got my first PC at the age of 35, ever since I've been mesmerized by it's capabilities allowing me to pursue a wider spectrum of graphic design styles which in turn has gained me satisfied clients. I still, on the odd occasion, miss the big blue surf but anyway love my woman, our allotment, micro beers, cycling, the ranting poetry of John Cooper-Clark, diy, and when I'm not occupied on bread and butter projects I create art-poster-prints as signed limited editions and exhibit these framed at 2 local venues. Favourite TV prog at the moment is The Keiser Report on Russia Today, oh and anything quantum from the Hadron Collider – "Kirk out".

The indispensable MLB Trade Rumors has updated its Elias Rankings to inform their nerdy Blue Jays fan following that newly acquired second baseman Kelly Johnson would require Type A compensation if the season were to end today and he refused the Blue Jays offer of arbitration.
Those are two rather large "ifs," and in addition to that happening, another team would have to sign Johnson knowing that they'd be giving up a first or second round draft pick to acquire a player coming off a season in which he accumulated a sub .300 on base percentage.
In this way, Type A status likely hurts the Blue Jays chances of receiving a pick for Johnson if they decide to offer him arbitration at the end of the season. But maybe that doesn't matter so much to General Manager Alex Anthopoulos.
Ken Rosenthal had an interesting piece up this morning identifying Toronto's latest roster shuffling as nothing short of a tryout for 2012. It's difficult to imagine a scenario in which Johnson refuses a marginal raise on the $5.85 million he's making this season and the Blue Jays are no doubt aware of this.
If he performs well over the final six weeks of the season, Toronto will offer him arbitration and he'll get the opportunity to feel out the market for his services. In all likelihood, that market will be limited to zero interest, which in its own way is probably best for Johnson. Assuming the left handed hitting second baseman believes his true talent level to be higher than what his 2011 numbers are showing, he could do a lot worse than receiving a $6 million+ contract for one year to prove himself and possibly go after the multi-year deal he desires in 2013.
For the Diamondbacks, they were unlikely to have offered Johnson arbitration no matter how he finished the season. In Aaron Hill, they acquired a Type B free agent, who is showcasing his talents not only for Arizona, but also every team interested in a second baseman next season. The decision to offer him arbitration will also be decided over the next six weeks.

OK, let me ask you all this…
WHY do you buy seeds in small packets for $2.00? I paid $1.99 a pound for yellow tomatoes at my local store and now I got both dinner for tonight and dinner for the rest of the summer! Just go to the Grocery Store, buy your fave veggies, take them home, eat them, then plant the seeds! Right NOW I am growing Orange Bell Peppers, Red Bell Peppers, Tomatoes, Garlic, Onions, Potatoes, and can THINK of a dozen others that I got for FREE because I took the seeds I would normally throw out, dried them, and planted them! You get "Special" kinds in packets but you can take your fave tomatoes that you bought at a farmer's market and grow THAT right in your own garden! They can't be so "Special" that we can't grow them at home or else it wouldn't be feasible to grow them commercially! The farmers breed to get the highest yield, with the best storage, and the best flavor so now you can too! And since we have the opportunity to coddle each plant with the best soil, the best fertilizers, exc. we can even improve on whatever you purchased! If you grow from seed why not take advantage of all that the people that grow for a living have done??? I hope this helps! |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by jenny_in_se_pa USDA7 Sunset 32 (My Page) on Sat, May 13, 06 at 10:44
The issue with seeds from store-bought veggies is that since most of them are hybrids, the seeds won't come true to the parent in many cases. And moreso if the farmer originally grew different types not far from each other (not isolated) where they could cross-pollinate. That's just simple genetics. It's basically hit and miss and you can end up with one plant that produces a wonderful tasty harvest and other plants that produce an almost unrecognizable variant with poor taste or weak disease resistance because its genetic predecessors had been selected for some special single trait that it has like color or size, etc., and that trait had successfully carried through to and stabilized in the hybrid that is sold in the stores. It can be fun to see what you get out of it though. :-) |

Cast iron casseroles are a kitchen essential – they are ideal for soups, stews, bakes, stocks, poaching – the list is endless; you can even cook bread in them. Every kitchen should have at least one and the new range from Raymond Blanc is a great example of the art.
The French master-chef has teamed up with Lakeland to create stylish lidded casserole dishes made to a professional standard.
Similar in styling to Le Creuset but with their own individual look, these stand up comfortably in testing to the industry standard. The dishes were perfect for a tagine and also a potato dauphinoise – the heavy cast iron retaining a lot of heat and evenly distributing it.
Due to their tough nature they are great both for high-heat searing and slow cooking and stewing and are suitable for all hob types including induction. They are also ideal for taking from oven to table to serve directly from.
The best thing about the casserole dishes is the price – a very reasonable £59.99.

IV. Performance review and planning
H. Conducting the year-end discussion
Schedule the review meeting in advance and have all materials prepared before the meeting. Meet in a quiet, private place with no interruptions. Keep the discussion simple, direct and relaxed. Listen, exchange information, reach a clear understanding, and follow-up. Schedule the follow-up meetings before ending the discussion.
Don't let the review form or procedure become more important than the exchange between the supervisor and employee.
Evaluate the review and planning process: Is communication improved? Has personal and/or professional growth occurred as a result? Will work be more productive? Did the review and planning process foster a positive work environment? Was there a productive discussion of the work being reviewed? Were there any surprises in the formal review?

Fielder said Thursday that he is doing a little rehab, but nothing too serious or baseball-wise yet. He had cervical fusion of two disks in his neck May 27. Analysis: Speaking to reporters in the clubhouse for the first time since the operation, Fielder said he is motivated to get back but isn't pushing anything. He isn't expected to play again this season, but should be ready for spring training. Fielder had played in 547 consecutive games since 2010 when he played his last game May 16. He hit .247 with three home runs and 16 RBIs in 42 games in his first season with Texas. |

Analysis: Fielder had a cervical fusion of the C5 and C6 disks in his neck Tuesday. The Rangers say the surgery performed in Dallas by specialist Dr. Drew Dossett went as expected. |

Analysis: Fielder, now batting .228 with a career-low .342 slugging percentage, hadn't had an extra-base hit since doubling in a 4-3 win over Oakland on April 21. |

Analysis: Fielder's only hit gave him none for extra bases in his last nine games. His .311 slugging percentage ranks him 172nd in the majors and is the 21st-worst mark among qualifying hitters. He is one of the biggest fantasy busts in recent memory for sure. |

Analysis: Fielder ended a 13-game homerless streak to start the season. Told before the game that he was a game away from tying the longest drought to start a season in his career, Fielder casually figured it was about time for a long ball. "I was just messing around," he said. Fantasy owners would probably like to see a little more intensity and production from him rather than jokes with reporters. |

text: FINALLY! The EP we set out to release last winter is now available. We are still in the works to release our next record in early 2015, these tracks just needed to get out from the vault. Enjoy:) "We pushed off the shore to set sail that day; I aimed to shrug off my cares. The weather was fair with birds in the sky, and my crew - they would heed every word. But as time passed by, the birds did not fly, and weather took turn for the worse. But still we pushed on. We pushed on and on. We pushed on and on and on. We pushed on so long, we saw light from the dawn, and soon I heard a sickly song: The shoreline is gone, along with my home, and damage is done to the hull. Will the captain dive down to the depths with his ship, as soon as the vessel is full? Inside the craft the water would seek, to fill up the ship and my lungs. So no longer then would I breath ocean air, but rather I'd inhale the sea. The skiff that we had held room for just one, so my crew they would all die in vain. For at sight of land, I took skiff in hand, and oared 'fore daylight fade. When I set foot on land, I did lay on the sand, and thank God for bringing the isle. Still, smoke I did make, and flags I did raise, lest I be lost and exiled. And so I carried on. Carried on and on. I did burn wood long into the night. I sent signals so long I saw light from the dawn, but ne'er saw ship at the isle! Now the shoreline's long lost, along with my home, and damage was done to the hull. The captain dive not to the depths with his ship, but rather he'd save his own soul. Now I rue the days I spend stuck in dismay, and curse God for bringing the isle! Given the choice now, I would surely have drown, than live with myself in exile!" | |||||

Where's Mike Coffman? website targets congressman -- and his campaign hits back
Where's Mike Coffman? That's the question raised by a new site called Wheresmikecoffman.com, which accuses the reelection-seeking Republican congressman of being unresponsive to voters.Mike Coffman.
In response, Coffman's spokesman says the politician has been available at all kinds of public events -- and denounces the group behind the site for "dirty campaign tactics."
That organization is Colorado Fair Share, a local branch of the Fair Share Alliance, a liberal-leaning group that is going after Coffman, who currently represents Colorado's 6th district and is now fighting in a competitive race against Democrat Joe Miklosi because of the way the state's districts have been redrawn.
The site -- which says "Mike, oh Mike, where have you gone?" -- claims Coffman is completely inaccessible to his constituents. The home page states: "If you're just an ordinary voter from Aurora, chances are you've never met Mike unless you've attended one of his fundraisers." To bring home that message, the site shares numerous videos of Aurora residents staked outside of Coffman's home, calling his office trying to schedule meetings with him, showing up in person to his district office and more.
Here's one of the videos, in which a crowd of people shout, "Why are you ignoring us!" over and over as Coffman appears to be driving up to [correction] a fundraiser.
"If people go to his office with concerns, he ignores them," says David Bouchey, a volunteer with Fair Share Alliance who lives in Aurora. "He does, however, go to fundraisers all over the rest of the state.... He doesn't do anything where people from Aurora can get to him with their concerns."
Bouchey was one of several Aurora residents who actually went to Tampa, Florida for the Republican National Convention, partly with the hope of finally getting a chance to talk to Coffman in person.
Turns out Coffman decided to stay in Colorado.
"We have constantly tried to reach him," says Bouchey, 55, who used to be a stock analyst and is now unemployed. "He should know that I live in Aurora, the district he is trying to get elected to represent. No one there would talk to us. No one in Washington D.C. would talk to us."
Currently, Aurora is split between two districts -- part in Coffman's 6th district and part in Congressman Ed Perlmutter's district. But with redistricting, Coffman is now running to represent the entire city of Aurora -- and residents partnering with Colorado Fair Share are going after him, because he could now be their future representative.
Bouchey began targeting Coffman when he was concerned about losing his unemployment insurance, since he has been having difficult finding a job and is the father of three. He wanted to ask Coffman to extend unemployment insurance.
"This is the worst economic downturn we've had in decades," Bouchey says. "I've been trying to reach him personally."
The website went live yesterday and goes after Coffman not only for being unresponsive, but also for voting for the "Ryan/Romney budget that cuts taxes for the wealthy and ends Medicare as we know it."

Throughout the ages it has been clear that Genocide has been a constant issue in humanity. Well, one may ask what Genocide is: Genocide is the deliberate killing of a large group of people, especially those of a particular ethnic group or nation. From genocide of the Amalekites and Midianites,), to the Rwandan Massacre (1994), to The Armenian Genocide, all the way to present day Genocide in Iraq and all of the Top Ten Most Horrific Genocides in History as well as all the countries who are on genocide watch, one that many people recognize is that of The Holocaust which is most commonly known because it is taught in many high schools of the united states and because of the many books written about the topic [ example: Night by Elie Wiesel] this will be the example that this essay will mostly be written around. Although some people believe that the U.S shouldn't police the entire world, one would like to disagree and ask the following question; where would humanity be if everyone just stood as these inhumane acts of cruelty happen before everyone's eyes no matter how hard the world tries to conceal them? Take the Holocaust for example, what would've happened if allied troops hadn't fought to liberate all the innocent Jews who were being exterminated solely based upon their looks and their religion?
For example, one would like to believe that if that were oneself; then one would want someone else to step in and defend those who are watching the numbers of their people decrease every time they blink. Is it not expected from every human to know what's morally just and unjust? Is it not obvious that killing one human is the worst thing one can do? Let alone a complete race, a complete group of believers? How is it that people can give more importance to the fact that the U.S. always seems to step in when another country is in need of protection? When did Government rise above the importance of human lives?
We have the largest military. If we loose imports than where is all of our imports going to be. America, the land of the imports. We also don't want communism. We could loose allies. We wont be taken seriously so all of our treaties will go down hill. We wont have that much attacks on America like 9/11. More involved= more motived to country.
Our country has the most advanced and powerful army in the world. As quoted in the Spider-Man series, "With great power comes great responsibility." We have a duty to the world, to act as a counterbalance, use chicks and balances to protect both our interests as well as other countries.
The United States should intervene because it could effect America through a rise in prices of foreign products. America depends on many other countries for basic necessities and luxuries. Also, if a country becomes to powerful, they could threaten the United States by waging war against us, our territories, a country around us, or one of our allies causing the United States to have to go into another country. This could cause a downfall in our economy and restrict us from getting these products our country depends on to thrive.
America is a superpower, there is no denying that. Our troops get sent to forign countries to help promote peace and stability, as well as back up our allies. If we continue to stay out of world affairs they will affect us here at home. Take Afghanistan, in 1996, most americans thought it wasn't our business to get involved. 5 years later, that business came to our shores. If we continue to stay out of world affairs, even when people ask for our help like Ukraine, we not only lose allies, but people rely less on us and we are not taken seriously.
No one can help where they were born, so the idea that we should leave innocent civilians to be slaughtered or suffer because they were born somewhere is inhumane. However, for fiscal reasons, we shouldn't get involved in the small stuff.Dangerous, there are people in many places in the world living in freedom today because of U.S. military involvement, in Israel, Korea, Europe, and many other places. We would be wrong to abandon them. Second, we cannot isolate ourselves without endangering our own security. The world is a more dangerous place today and there is no one to fill in for us to stop those who would do harm. We would not want to live in a world in which an unscrupulous power such as China polices the seas. While we should avoid intervention unless absolutely necessary, the U.S. should maintain its ability -- and indicate its willingness -- to be involved in world affairs.
There are times where I think that the US should just keep out of certain things. There are times when I think that the US only gets involved because they stand to gain or lose money. Some things however do warrant intervention, such as genocide or slavery or horrible crimes against a countries citizens.
Why not. There's people in ither countries who need our help...Maybe one day we will need there help, and if we don't rescue them in theremtime of need, then they won't rescue us and perhaps they will even make it worse, so to keep the peace among countries, we should interfere with foreign affairs!:)
Thee us should get involved in foreign affairs be innocent people are dying in other countries and as a world power the us has the responsibility to protect these people. Furthermore the people living in countries with problems didn't choose to be born there and deserve the chances someone in the U.S. Would have.
Yes we should get involved in foreign affairs. Why should we sit back while civilians are dying. That is not right. We would like other people to help us if we are in a bad war. If we help them than they would probably help us in war. And we would need all the help we can get.
Getting involved in every distressed countries issues strains US military resources and funding. 1 Timothy 8:5- "Anyone who does not provide for their people, especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an infidel." The US will go bankrupt if the government sends military support as well as diplomatic funding to every distressed country, and citizens will be neglected and impoverished. The US is not the global hegemony and should not act as such.
Its too dangerous to send our troops to intervene in every genocide. When our troops get sent to a country or continent that we have never been to is really risky. We do not know what the living condition's are like, by sending our troops to a place we never been is putting our soldiers in danger. They can catch a disease and die or get killed by the attackers. For example in 1975 to 1978 a terrible genocide occurred it was called "Khmer Rouge". There was approximately 2 million Cambodians killed. If we sent our troops there they could have been part of the 2 million killed. When there families are waiting for there son or daughter etc.To come off the train or plane etc. and they are not there they will be questioning where are they? Is he\she okay?. When really instead of them risking their lives they can be training to fight for our country. If you think what about it what are the chances that the continent or country we helped will help us when we are at war. Was it really worth helping them if they will not help us when we need it?
Why should we get involved. So we can loose soldiers and money over something that wasn't even our fight. There is no reason for us to get involved if it is not our fault it is a waste of time, money, and people with families. We should mind our business and stay where we belong.
The US has enough problems going on inside its own borders. The money spent on foreign affairs is ridiculous and with the national debt at its highest point ever, it is foolish to give away money and troops to other countries. The country should at least slow down it's foreign aid except for extreme cases.
Countries affects each other in many ways, it's impossible to isolate ourselves with international affairs, but before interfering foreign affairs, the government should think about theirs citizens first. No matter it's a military involvement or a just handing out money, they should obtain full information on the problem and estimate possible outcomes. The US shouldn't interfere for the sake of being the boss or advertising world peace. But in most cases, I think it's best to avoid involvement in foreign affairs.
It just costs too much money to get involved in other countries affairs and wars. It has cost about 1, 440, 570, 500, 000 dollars in wars since 2001. We could be using that money to help people in the country find jobs, etc. Finally, it also costs the lives of our troops.
The founding fathers of our nation once advised all who were to succeed them that America should never be involved in foreign affairs, and they were right. Had we not decided to stick our noses in World War I, we would not have been involved in World War II and the wars to follow. History might have changed, but who's to say it wouldn't have been for the better?
Although some people find it necessary, U.S. Involvement in foreign affairs causes unnecessary deaths of U.S. Servicemen. In Vietnam, thousands of people, including my great uncle Mike, died, and in the end, Vietnam is STILL communist! Also, the Korean War. That war got us literally NOWHERE! In conclusion, The United States should not get into foreign affairs unless absolutely necessary.
... We have more than enough problems here at home. Who made us the leader of the entire world? We need to focus on the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. We have no business, no moral right to tell NOR enforce how other countries handle their situations. We are far from perfect, never will be. We ain't GOD.
We are already in about 18 million dollars of debt, why do we need to make it worse. It's definitely costing us, the US citizens. Half of the taxes we are paying are going to the government which they are using the pay of the war debt with. It would take another 100+ years to fully devour the debt. It's too early money wise to go back into war.

Learning to Love Nature at New York City's Field Station
At Black Rock Forest, students learn about research from conservationists and biologists.
The snake catches everyone by surprise, appearing as if conjured for us moments after the professor asks if we would like to look for a rattler. We scramble over the rocky mountaintop, among tough grasses and pitch pines, and suddenly there it is, a timber rattlesnake three and-a-half feet long, gliding over the mottled stone several yards away.
We crowd as close as the professor deems safe and watch it coil up against a boulder, rattle trembling in the breeze. The snake is beautiful, with chocolate-brown bands rippling over a dusky back. It is a clear summer day on the summit of Black Rock Mountain, and for several moments I am as rapt as the pack of high school students this excursion was intended for.
These six students make up one of 12 summer science classes offered by the Black Rock Forest Consortium in New York state's Black Rock Forest. In the 1960s, this forest was almost sold to developers from Consolidated Edison during one of the environmental movement's epic battles. Today, that same land functions as an outdoor classroom to teach middle and high school children about ecology and conservation. But what makes it unusual among nature programs is that at Black Rock Forest, the students learn how conservationists and biologists carry out research in the field. Alongside practicing scientists, the students collect data for ongoing research projects in the preserve's wetlands and wooded slopes.
Since they launched last year, the Black Rock Forest Consortium summer sciences classes aim to connect kids, primarily from the Hudson Valley and New York City 60 miles away, to the natural world, although some of its students travel from as far as Florida and even Hong Kong. The program runs multiple classes concurrently over four week-long sessions. The "Biodiversity Blitz" class, taught by Barnard paleoecologist Terryanne Maenza-Gmelch, is just one of four classes running on the day I come to visit. While we were entranced by the timber rattlesnake atop Black Rock Mountain, other students were immersed in "Surveying Turtles," "Visualizing Entomology," and "Flying High Ornithology" (the most popular class) across different parts of the forest.
For Jeffrey Kidder, the education director, who designed the program, it's all about inspiring students with its hands-on approach. "That's kind of the model for this program--authentic science, taught by people that are truly doing science research," he says. Besides games, hikes, and baking muffins from wild blueberries, the students learn field research techniques, such as identifying birds by song and recording carapace measurements on turtles. "Kids want to be here and have fun," says Kidder. "It's not school, it's summer class. Catching a turtle's got to be a 'gee whiz' thing."
Black Rock Forest (which is named for magnetite, a dark iron ore found in rocks across the forest) spans nearly 4,000 acres in the Hudson Highlands, the cragged mountainous area that lines the Hudson River as it winds north from New York City. The Consortium is an amalgamation of 24 groups that include grade schools, universities, laboratories, and museums committed to conserving and studying the forest. The American Museum of Natural History, New York University, and the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation are all members.
Among the forest's most abundant furred and scaly denizens are opossums, flying squirrels, foxes, red-backed salamanders, and river otters. The forest, which officials are resolved to have classified as an Important Bird Area, is also home to a plethora of bird species. Regular sightings include red-tailed hawks, crows, turkeys, and a wealth of warblers, sparrows, and other songbirds. A very lucky hiker might even spy a common loon, peregrine falcon, redheaded woodpecker, great horned owl, or pine siskin.
But in the recent past Black Rock Forest, which lies 60 miles north of New York City, was far from the secluded woodland that the campers trek. Once, this land was farmed and mined for iron ore, until it was purchased by Earnest Stillman, a medical doctor who designated Black Rock a nature preserve in 1928. Upon his death in 1949 he left it to Harvard University for environmental research. Harvard already had a research forest of its own in Massachusetts, and eventually began to seek a buyer for Black Rock Forest.
Then, in 1962, Con Edison announced its intention to build the world's largest pumped storage power plant on adjoining Storm King Mountain, which lies along the Hudson River's west bank. Harvard considered selling part or all of Black Rock Forest to the company. Black Rock's Upper Reservoir would have held Hudson River water for the hydroelectric plant, pumped from the river by night and tapped by day to generate electricity.
In 1963, the Con Edison applied to the Federal Power Commission for a license to build the plant. Two years later, the Federal Power Commission granted that license and Robert Boyle, a writer for Sports Illustrated, published an article about the havoc Con Edison's plant would wreak on local fisheries. Now, almost 50 years later, he is still shaken by the magnitude of Con Edison's vision. The plant, he says, would have been disastrous for the Hudson River and surrounding land. "It would have industrialized the river, at probably its most scenic point," he says. "It would have turned it into an industrial slum."
Boyle was not alone. The Storm King project ignited furious resistance from the local community, who turned to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. By the end of 1965, Court had revoked Con Edison's license, but the legal battle dragged on for another 15 years. Meanwhile the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) was enacted in 1969, giving opponents of Con Edison a new legal tool in their arsenal. The National Resources Defense Council was also formed in response to the conflict and joined the fray against Con Edison. Finally, Con Edison officially gave up on the power plant in December of 1980. By then, Storm King had set a precedent--for the first time, locals had a voice in environmental decisions in their community. Storm King was the catalyst for environmental law in United States, and for federal lawsuits to consider both environmental impacts and economic interests.
Meanwhile, Harvard had backed down on the sale of Black Rock Forest due to public pressure and guidance from William T. Golden, who had served as the Science Adviser to Harry S. Truman and as the chair of the American Museum of Natural History (he also happened to be a Harvard alumnus.) Golden purchased the land and set up the Black Rock Forest Consortium in 1989.
His vision was to create a field station for New York City, says Executive Director William Schuster. He felt "this should be the place where people go to, to see what the ecology of the New York area is like."
Although the Consortium conducts research and conservation work, "Education is really our biggest program area," Schuster says. Thousands of kids visit every year, most of whom attend member schools in the Hudson Valley and New York City. The summer science classes, however, are open to the public. The program runs in July and August, and offers week-long daytime and sleep-away courses for grades 7-12, including need-based scholarships.
Before coming to camp at Black Rock Forest, some of the students I meet felt more comfortable with nature than others. For the students in Maenza-Gmelch's "Biodiversity Blitz" course (which takes its name from an intense kind of field survey in which participants attempt to identify as many species in an area as possible in a short period of time), the rattlesnake on Black Rock Mountain is a welcome treat, but they are already motivated. Along the hike to the mountaintop, they listen to the smatterings of birdsong at 100 meter intervals, penciling in the species they identify (with their teacher's help) during five minute point counts. One student offers me her binoculars to get a closer look at some tufted titmice. Another becomes anxious that Maenza-Gmelch is compromising the integrity of the count by answering a question while they are listening for birdsong. "We can't hear the birds," he admonishes us.
Meanwhile, downhill, the "Surveying Turtles" class (led by Antonia Florio, a PhD from the American Museum of Natural History) is plunging into chest-high lake water to retrieve netted traps. The students, who have just met two days ago, call back and forth with easy familiarity--
"It's a catfish!" one student says, peering into a trap.
"We should fry it up," jokes another.
The turtles they are searching for are the focus of an ongoing project on population demographics. The students take measurements on the turtles' shells, age, and location, and scan them for identification tags. Most of the turtles they dredge up are small and easily handled, like the painted turtles that are distinguished by yellow and red streaks along their necks and limbs.
It turns out that this class, like the students of "Biodiversity Blitz," is in for a treat today: an enormous snapping turtle, muddy brown and writhing as it is pulled from its trap. Their instructors stow it in a plastic bin to await measuring. Eager as they are get a glimpse, the students dutifully move away from the ancient-looking creature to enter data on several much smaller painted turtles it was sharing the trap with.
And yet, despite the draw of snakes and snapping turtles, neither "Biodiversity Blitz" nor "Surveying Turtles" are even the camp's most popular classes. That honor belongs to New York University grad student Danielle Bunch's "Flying High Ornithology" class.
"It was a surprise," says Emily Cunningham, the Director of External Relations. "We thought all the topics were pretty intriguing. But the kids chose birds."
Black Rock Forest offers "Flying High Ornithology" for two of its week-long sessions. The class I observe was entirely booked by the Summer Youth in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (SYSTEM) program, which serves high school students from New York City.
"Some of these kids have never been birding or even used binoculars before," says Danielle Bunch. "I just want them to be cognizant of what's around them. I'm introducing them to birds to open their eyes and ears."
The students in "Flying High Ornithology" go birding, dissect a (roadkill) hawk, and capture birds in mist nets. Already they have have succeeded in spotting a great variety of birds, including scarlet tanagers, chickadees, worm-eating warblers, vultures, wood thrushes, and catbirds. But, says Bunch, "They all remembered the mnemonic 'drink your tea' so when we see [Eastern] towhees they get excited."
The forest's more colorful birds have also made an impression. "My favorite bird that I've seen is the orange variant of the scarlet tanager," says student Joshua Simmonds-Raphael.
And some of the students are even thinking about how to carry what they've learned back home. Jenny Zhao, who regularly visits Brooklyn's Prospect Park, says, "If I learned more about the species of birds around there it would be really interesting to actually go birdwatching."
Enthusiastic teachers are key to the program's success. When he was designing the program, Kidder's first hire was Maenza-Gmelch, who had already taught small field ecology courses for students at Black Rock for four years. "The fun part," she says, "is I'm sure that these kids have heard in a classroom setting about ecology and migrations and things like that." But at Black Rock, "they suddenly find themselves involved in a whole body experience for research. They're actually in the water setting traps, they're learning the birdsongs, they're eating blueberries, they're smelling certain plants to identify them."
"Sight, sound, everything is involved with the research at Black Rock. They're very motivated. They motivate me."
Another challenge, though, is making sure that the program's city kids, like the students in "Flying High Ornithology," have a chance to appreciate the natural world. "Kids are so nature deprived," says Kidder. "I hate that term, 'nature deficit disorder,' but it's so true. If they live in a place that there isn't nature, and they never meet people that are engaged in nature or professional scientists involved in nature, what are the odds that they'll ever become? And as citizens voting, what are the odds they'll ever care about things like birds?"
Kidder has seen firsthand how powerful meeting real scientists can be for kids who would never otherwise consider conservation work as a vocation. Once, he took a group of kids from inner city Newark, New Jersey, on a field trip to the Delaware Water Gap. He booked a bear biologist to come speak to them--a bear biologist who, by fantastic coincidence, turned out to be a woman born and raised in Newark. "That was a priceless moment," Kidder says, particularly for the girls. "You could tell from their questions that they had no idea that somebody from their background could be a bear biologist."
At Block Rock, he finds that kids are especially "excited because they've never seen a grasshopper." His aim is to give urban students an opportunity to make nature relevant to themselves, and to discover that growing up to study nature, to track birds and wrestle turtles, is a viable career path. The irresistible and breathtaking moments--the snapping turtles and scarlet tanagers and snakes on mountaintops--have a deeper purpose.
And, in the future, he hopes to expand the program and reach even more kids. "I would love to involve the [Cornell] Laboratory of Ornithology and do some bird recording out here and the technical things about birdsong and neuroscience and bird brains," he says.
"I think a class about that for older students or even young college students would be extraordinary."
Con Edison failed to claim Black Rock Forest in the 1960s. Today, the outside world is still intruding, albeit in a much more welcome way. The 3,850 acres of mountain, stream, and woodland so close to New York City serve as a living laboratory for scientists, local students, and city kids alike--as long as they enter Black Rock on its own terms. Though Kidder feels that a week is "plenty of time to acclimate to nature," the most difficult adjustment for city kids occurs after the sun sets. "They're so used to streetlights, as soon as they see how dark it is, their minds to murder and ax murderers and horror stories."
But, when they finally venture out into the darkness, they are amazed by how bright the stars are.

In "Love Will Guide Us," a Tapestry of Faith program
If you have time, use this activity to lead into or out of Activity 2, Story — We All Got Here Together.
Invite participants to join you at a work table. Explain that bubbles are magical; that the story they will (or did) hear today has to do with bubbles and where we came from. Say, in your own words:
The story does not answer questions. The story just lets us wonder—like the bubbles make us wonder—about how we come to be.
Dip one end of a straw in the solution. Hold the straw slightly above the surface and gently blow a bubble.
Demonstrate how to blow bubbles within bubbles: Remove the straw from the bubble. Make sure the straw is wet and then gently insert it in the top of the bubble, so it enters at a 45-degree angle. Blow gently to form another bubble. Repeat to form more bubbles in bubbles. Awesome!
Ask, in your own words:
Do you wonder why a bubble can burst so easily, and yet you can insert the straw back in and still not break it? It is fragile and strong at the same time. I sit here and look at this bubble and I think, "This is awesome!"
Invite the children to experience the awesomeness of bubbles with one or two partners to make a "bubble sculpture" that has bubbles within bubbles.
Share these tips:
This activity can get messy and slippery. Leave time for volunteers to help clean up.
Children with low tolerance may get frustrated if they cannot form a bubble sculpture after a few tries. Consider having a bottle of bubble solution with a blowing wand available.
It may helpful to establish rules of behavior prior to doing this activity, such as "We blow into straws only when they are in the solution."

Hi! I'm slowly creating a Beatles themed Garden. So far, I have a strawberry patch I call "Strawberry Fields", a McCartney Rosebush, "Marmalade Skies" roses, "Penny Lane" violas, and I'm ordering the "Abbey Road" Iris ths year. Any suggestions of other Beatle-named plants (veggies or flowers)? |
Follow-Up Postings:
There's a David Austin shrub rose called 'Jude the Obscure.' And be sure yours is 'The McCartney Rose' which is a hybrid tea named for Paul and not the wild species Rosa bracteata, called 'Macartney Rose.' |
- Posted by sunshinedydrm z7NY (My Page) on Tue, Feb 18, 03 at 10:00
Thanks! I'm sure I have the McCartney rose named after Paul - it bloomed around the time he got married and the roses matched his new bride's bouquet! |
I'm thinking of the line "Octopus' garden in the shade." I found this: Guess it's a house plant tho, in your zone, and mine. |

Thanks a lot for the suggestions! Sharon 9 FL, out of curiousity, I was wondering what color the John Lennon dalia was and if you saw it in a particular catalog. Thanks! |

Just do a search on it. I did find a picture. It's yellow. |

What a great theme! I just saw a miniature rose called "Oh Darlin!" (in the Every Rose database) but can't find where to buy it. I also have "Marmalade Skies" and I love it! |
- Posted by sunshinedydrm z7NY (My Page) on Tue, Apr 22, 03 at 11:00
Thanks, Dallas Starsgirl! I'll try to find "Oh Darlin" and let you know if I do! Or, if you find it first, please post where you got it. Thanks! I'm working on having my husband (who's an artist) paint me a sign for my garden that says "Welcome to Pepperland" and another sign for by my strawberry patch that reads "Strawberry Fields Forever". Happy Gardening! |
This is a wonderful thread! I also have a "Beatles garden" :) There is a climbing rose called "Penny Lane", and dont forget the freesia that inspired the title for John and Yoko's album "Double Fantasy" I couldn't think of anything to represent Ringo, does anyone know if he gardens? It's a bit dissappointing that despite his well known love of gardening, there hasn't been anything named for George! |
- Posted by sunshinedydrm z7NY (My Page) on Tue, May 13, 03 at 14:29
Hi! I'll have to find the climbing rose "Penny Lane"! I'm not sure the freesia will grow in my zone, but maybe I'll try! Snowpeak Iris offers an Abbey Road iris, a Penny Lane iris, and a Ringo iris! I just ordered them. I'm waiting for someone to do something nice for George! It's funny that he was the gardener of the group, but, so far, I haven't found anything named for him yet! I like the idea of vintage garden gnomes, though! |

I played around on Google and came up with: A white agastache foeniculum, called Album, hence a white album. The Monkey flower, which you would not want to hide. Yellow Submarine, a hosta Long Tall Sally, a rose Personally I cant believe that plant breeders have not yet pounced upon: Springcherry |
- Posted by sunshinedydrm z7NY (My Page) on Mon, May 26, 03 at 21:26
Hi, Springcherry! Thanks! I actually found a daylily called "Lovely Rita"! It's yellow and may multiply so it has a sister or two! I'm still waiting for someone to name something for George! I've found references to all the others and to a lot of songs, but nothing for George yet! Love your ideas! |

wow. i am amazed there are so many beatles related palnts!! ooooh i have a whole new idea for a beatles themed garden bed to now,my hubby is a HUGE beatles fan so this will get him into the garden too =) what a brilliant idea thanks!! I'm now gonna be on a hunt for these beatles plants...about the ringo flowers, how tall do they get?? i'm thinkin if i can plant them in an old drum............PERFECT! |
George was a big gardener as you probably know, and he apparently loved Japanese maples. I remember reading an interview with him where he claimed something along the lines that his greatest achievement was to have planted several hundred Japanese maples with his own hands on his Friar Park estate. So I'd consider a nice Japanese maple, in honor of George, as a centerpiece and anchor for the garden. |
- Posted by sunshinedydrm z7NY (My Page) on Fri, Jan 30, 04 at 15:42
Nice idea! I hope someday they'll release more pics of George's gardens! (there's one pic on "Brainwashed") |
there's also a 'Revolution' hosta |

What reminds you of India? Something Indian could represent George. -How about a nice water feature w/waterlilies? Although I loved reading he liked Japanese maples. Me too. Sharon I only have a couple of McCartney roses... so far. |
God, I love you guys!!! We Beatle afficianados are special, aren't we!!!!???? Thanks for the inspiration!!! |

There's a rose called 'Harison's Yellow.' One one "R" but still it could do. |
- Posted by sunshinedydrm z7NY (My Page) on Tue, May 11, 04 at 13:05
Thanks! I'll have to look for that rose! I remember there is a site dedicated to finding roses. Does anyone remember the website address or name? |
I'm pleased to see this thread still going strong a year later! Harison's Yellow is also called the "Yellow Rose of Texas" and it should be pretty easy to come by. George once said that he wanted to be remembered as a lotus and that flower was used for the video of the re-release of "My Sweet Lord" So a Lotus would represent him well and per his own wishes. Sure would be nice to have one named for him. I have Lords and Ladies (Arum Maculatum) that I collected at Friar Park. They bloomed the first time just after he died and I will have seeds this year from them if anyone has "Beatly" stuff they want to trade. **Macca** |
I recently saw in a catalog that there is a daylily called "Strawberry Fields Forever." Here's a link to a picture: http://www.ofts.com/photo/strawberry_fields_forever.html |

There is a Pink Tree Rose called "Lucy". Plant her amongst the red miniature rose "Ace of Diamonds" and then you'll have "Lucy in the sky with Diamonds"!! That's as good as I could do. You guys are good!!! Shell |

I am new here but found this thread most interesting. I am a huge fan of George Harrison and am currently designing a tribute garden to him. By referencing video footage of George at Friar Park from variuos EPK's that have been issued I have been able to establish some of the ornamentaition used in the grounds. Also from a web chat he gave on 15th February 2001 I have some of George's own recommendations of plants for gardens his suggestions were Miscanthus Zebrinas and Malepartus and a ginger by the name of Kahili. Whilst searching for plants to add to my garden I have made a list of over 200 varieties of differnet plants that could be seen to represent George and his work some of the links are a tad tenuous but some that might be helpful to you are A Rhoddodendhon - George's Delight Whilst I would dearly love a plant to be named after George in the abscence of this I have looked for plants that have the same name as a song lyric or can be seen to represent important people in his life such as the Dark Lady Rose to represent Olivia, The Little Leo Sunflower to represent his son, George's son is s Leo and he's not very tall, The Rhoddodenrhon Patty B etc etc. As part of the hard landscaping a mosaic of the Dark Horse record lable logo will be included. I hope this gives you some ideas for plants and themes to represent George in you Beatles themed gardens Looking forward to corresponding with you all on this forum. I will be setting up a website once I start work on the gardens and will pass the link onto you all when it is ready. |

Further to my ast post I have discovered thanks to the RHS Plant finder that there is a Primula Auriccula called 'George Harrison' the only supplier listed is a nursery in Scotland though! |
I don't know that it would fit your plan or your space, but don't forget about their label, Apple Records. A Granny Smith apple tree would be a natural. :) |
There is now a "Lovely Rita" and "Eleanor Rigby" hosta from Bridgewood Gardens - they seem to like naming them after songs (not just Beatles, either :) |

Hi there I'm new here, and stumbled across this thread about the Beatles Garden, this is extremely interesting to me since number 1 I haven't heard of these flowers until now and number 2 I am in the process attempting to landscape my backyard. I love this idea since I am a huge Beatles Fan. I know this is pobably an old question for all of you but where do I find these flowers? Are they available in Garden Centers? Or do they have to be sent away for? Just curious~I love the Japanese Red Maple idea for an anchor to the Garden I have no trees in my back yard as yet, however aren't their root systems a bit invasive? Thanks for any and all advice/or help you can give me. |
I love this idea! I hope you'll post pictures of your beatles gardens. |

any follow-ups? pictures? i am a new gardener and i am looking for the plants named above, long live the fab 4s.... |
Wow has this thread been running a long time! I came across it when I was searching name possibilities for my own daylily registrations. Here's a list of daylily names that I cannot use because they've already been taken. Seems you could fill a rather large bed with just Beatle-themed daylilies: ACROSS THE UNIVERSE (2004) There's likely others that I didn't think to look up or are too new to be listed on the American Hemerocallis Society website. There's also a NORWEGIAN WOODS but I figured the "s" discounted it. Of these, I grow TANGERINE HORSES and STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER, both of which I highly recommend. I ordered RINGO'S STAR for this spring. Some of the oldest ones might be difficult to locate, while some of the newest might be rather pricey. To find sources for any of the above, just enter the word daylily followed by the name into a google search. Imagine! |

Christopher wins bragging rights!
This was fun...I'll be doing it again, but making it much much more difficult. We're just warming up. And in case you missed it, this is an actual photo of my deaf parents. My father jammin' on the geetar and my pregnant (with me) mother groovin' to his smoove tunes.
1. Madonna, Let It Will Be
Now I can tell you about success, about fame
About the rise and the fall
of all the stars in the sky
Don't it make you smile?
2. Santana w/ Rob Thomas, Smooth
Man its a hot one
Like seven inches from the midday sun
I hear you whisper and the words melt everyone
But you stay so cool
3. Annie Lennox, Love Song For A Vampire
Come into these arms again
and lay your body down.
The rhythm of this trembling heart
is beating like a drum.
4. Sarah McLachlan, Fear
Morning smiles
Like the face of a newborn child
Innocent unknowing winter's end
Promises of a long lost friend
5. Nine Inch Nails, Man With A Gun
I am a big man (yes I am),
and I have a big gun.
Got me a big old dick and I,
I like to have fun
6. David Bowie, John, I'm Only Dancing
Well, Annie's pretty neat, she always eats her meat
Joe is awful strong, bet your life he's putting us on
Oh lordy, oh lordy, you know I need some loving
I'm moving, touch me
7. Djako, Devil Train
Take with me the cocaine train
Take with me the cocaine train
Take this line.
Take this line.
8. Duran Duran, Dirty Great Monster
There's a dirty great monster in this house
we pretend that it's not there
and there's no escape from it's it's grip
but nobody seems to care
9. Gwen Stefani, Cool
It's hard to remember how it felt before.
Now I found the love of my life.
Passes things get more comfortable.
Everything is going right.
10. Prince, Gett Off
How can I put this in a way so as not to offend or unnerve
There's a rumour goin' all round that you ain't been gettin' served
They say that you ain't you know what
In baby who knows how long
11. The Propellerheads w/ Shirley Bassey, History Repeating
The word is about, there's something evolving,
whatever may come, the world keeps revolving
They say the next big thing is here,
that the revolution's near
12. Christina Aguilera w/ L'il Kim, Can't Hold Us Down
So what am I not supposed to have an opinion
Should I be quiet just because I'm a woman
Call me a bitch cos I speak whats on my mind
Guess its easier for you to swallow if I sat and smiled
13. Lisa Stansfield, We Can't Deny It
We've got it together darlin', we're ready for it
You see I'm smilin'
Hmm we've got the people talkin', they know how we feel
And it's no big deal
14. Gabrielle, Dreams
Move a step closer you know that I want you
I can tell by your eyes that you want me too
Just a question of time I knew we'd be together
And that you'd be mine I want you here forever
15. Sheena Easton, Telefone (Long Distance Love Affair)
I've been away from you for far too long
Too much chances make my heart go frantic
I wanna tell you what's been goin' on,
operator give me Trans Atlantic
16. Rent, Without You
Without you,
the ground thaws,
the rain falls,
the grass grows.
17. Radiohead (or Mark Ronson), Just
Can't get the stink off
He's been hanging round for days
Comes like a comet
Suckered you but not your friends
18. Mary J. Blige, Family Affair
Let's get it crunk, we gonna' have fun
Up on in this dancery
We got ya open, now ya floatin'
So you gots to dance for me
19. Cyndi Lauper, She-Bop
Well, I see them every night in tight blue jeans
In the pages of a blue boy magazine
Hey I've been thinking of a new sensation
I'm picking up good vibration
20. Boy George, Evil Is So Civilised
Far out across the rooftops
Where the televisions sleep
Behind the perfect picture
Lie fanatical beliefs

This is the most absurd complaint I've ever heard. A church service, however exuberant, is in no way comparable to a night-long Independence Day fireworks celebration. To make that claim illustrates the lengths to which some folks will go just to have something about which they can complain.
I would wager that these same complainers are some of those sour-faced old folks who lament bygone days when people took responsibility for their actions. And yet, they contribute to the problem by vociferously and shamelessly griping to all within earshot whenever the slightest discomfort arises.
How pathetic must one's life be to try to ruin the excitement of others.
