Five of Virlogeux's bridgesThe Seyssel Bridge over the River RhoneDesigned by Michel Virlogeux, this bridge takes advantage of a small island in the river. A cable-stayed bridge design was chosen with the tower on the island. He chose to place intermediate piers on the shallow side of the river, which many objected to, however he said removing them would very much change the shape of the bridge. These intermediate piers very much stiffen the bridge, and the stay-cables very efficiently maintain the tower which, as a result, can be extremely slender.
The Morbihan Bridge over the River VilaineAn arch is a structure which resists extremely heavy loads well, as long as the arch is symmetrical. When the arch is built, if you launch your heavy structure (deck) on the arch you will have a very important bending moment in the arch. The advantage of launching a steel structure is that it is very light, and afterwards you can cast the slabs symmetrically in such a way that you control the bending moment in the arch, and so you can have a rather slender arch. When this bridge was being designed it was imperative to give pedestrian access to each bank of the river where locals come to jog and walk. Virlogeux thought it stupid to put joggers in with the smoke of the cars, fortunately he had been inspired by an 18th Century Japanese bridge which allows people to walk on the arches of the bridge, which is what they've done with the Morbihan Bridge.
The Burgundy Bridge at Chalon sur SaôneThe shape of the tower has been improved with the input of an architect, but the design was chosen for purely technical reasons. The deck has to pass between the two legs of the towers. He wanted to have vertical stay-cables to ease the anchorage of them, and for this reason, the legs had to be closer at the top, widen to allow the deck and close underneath to limit the size of the bases. You can very clearly see the flow of forces from top to bottom.
The Antrenas overpass on the A75 MotorwayThe architect originally designed this bridge with a concrete arch, but thought it too reminiscent of the 20s and 30s so went to Virlogeux for his input. He suggested the arch be made of tubes with a prestressed concrete slab on top. The tube is not circular, but segmental because between the different nodes where the loads come from the slab there is practically no load, so it is much more efficient to have a segmented arch. If you compare the bending moment between a circular arch and a segmental one, they are much more smaller.
The Languedoc Bridge at GignacA new bridge had to be build near a historically important old one, thought of as one of the two most beautiful bridges in South France (seen behind). So the first decision was to build the new bridge at some distance from the old to avoid conflict between the two images and in addition, Virlogeux chose an arch design to complement the old bridge. Because of the likelihood of flooding of the river, it was necessary to have some spans on the left bank. And it was very difficult to arrange the system between the arch over the river and the approaches on the left bank. Using a vertical pier on the left bank would have been very ugly so they chose instead to balance the main arch of the bridge with a counter arch on the other side.

For they (man) are like a breath of air; their days are like a passing shadow." Psalm 144:4
I don't know about you, but I needed that reminder today to slow down, count every moment, and make every moment count.
That's the thing about kids, there are days you can't wait for them to grow up and be out on their own, and then there are days like this, when you just want to freeze a moment in time.
I had one of those moments this mornings. I have 3 kids; 6, 4, and, 2. I call them my sunshines, because it always seems like on one of those rough days, they do something that reminds me what life is all about. They help find joy in every moment, because that's all they know, now.
I was rushing to get out the door to head to work, and they were literally in my way. They were in my living room with laundry baskets over their heads, peeking out of the bottom and then covering up again.
At first I was frustrated and asked, "what are you doing?" They responded with complete joy, "Well mama we're pretending to be turtles!"
Of course they were! That's a perfectly normal thing to do at 7am when you are supposed to be getting ready for school!
I just wanted to freeze them in time, enjoy every moment, and also wonder why I spent so much money on Christmas presents...
Reminds me of this song from Revive, called "Blink" about making every moment in life count, because "the only thing that matters is how we have loved"...not whether or not we were 5 minutes late for work.
Teach me to number my daysAnd count every momentBefore it slips awayTake in all the colorsBefore they fade to greyI don't want to missEven just a secondMore of this
It happens in a blink, it happens in a flashIt happens in the time it took to look backI try to hold on tight, but there's no stopping timeWhat is it I've done with my life?
It happens in a blinkIt happens in a blink
When it's all said and doneNo one remembers
How far we have runThe only thing that mattersIs how we have loved
Chris Tomlin sings, "If the God of angel armies is by my side…who shall I fear?" Does that include The Flu?
I saw in the news last night people seem to be frantic about the flu. There is a State of Emergency in Boston because so many people are sick. It feels like we're one step away from wearing those masks everywhere we go.
Here's some great ideas on preventing the flu. I learned something new that sunlight and humidity can kill the flu virus, so let that sunlight into your home and turn up the heat!
But, more importantly remember the truth about fear. Whatever it is you are afraid of. Maybe it's getting the flu, or something else.
"God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline." 2 Timothy 1:7

A coin is generally made more or less valuable by its condition, specific historical significance, rarity, quality/beauty of the design and general popularity with collectors. If a coin is greatly lacking in all of these, it is unlikely to be worth much. Bullion coins are also valued based on these factors, but are largely valued based on the value of the gold or silver in them. Sometimes non-monetized bullion coins such as the Canadian Maple Leaf and the American Gold Eagle are minted with nominal face values less than the value of the metal in them, but as such coins are never intended for circulation, these value numbers are not market but fiat values..........Read more |

By Kaylin Krashesky & KDRV Staff
GRANTS PASS, Ore. — While the McPhails were content to live in their old house, they were ecstatic to live in the new home planned for them by the Makeover team.
The majority of what fills the inside of the McPhails' new home is from Gates Furnishings in Grants Pass.
"Oh gosh, everything from mattresses to sofas to coffee tables to chandeliers to you know almost all the home furnishings they were able to get here," said the owner of Gates Home Furnishing, Giff Gates.
Design producers from the show came up in advance to work with the business. Gates said he set up a budget of around $20,000, but he says the Extreme Makeover designers needed around $50,000. So, Gates got key vendors to pitch in so they could give the designers everything they needed for the inside of the McPhails home.
"They put together things that honestly we didn't think of. They would mix things…very rustic things with very contemporary things and so we learned a lot by doing it. It was fun, I mean they have a lot of talent," Gates said.
Gates says the designers, both on camera and off, worked hard to make the inside really feel like home to the McPhails. After talking with the designers about their dream home, the McPhails were sent off to Hawaii on vacation, and the family had no idea what was happening at the site of their new home.
"We wish we could have been here, or at least been a fly on the wall, to have seen this take place," said C.J. McPhail.

Orbweaver's Randy Piro: Guitar Heroes of South Florida
What sets you apart as a guitarist?
The only thing that I could objectively say that I try to go for is that I try to utilize -- especially in the constraints of extreme metal -- I try to utilize as much of th guitar's tonal abilities as I can. Everything from different pickups to using the volume and tone knobs to the crazy array of pedals I have, I think I try to hear a little bit more than a lot of death metal guitar players.
In no order: Electro Harmonix POG II, MXR Phase 90, MXR Phase 100, Voodoo Labs Analog Chorus, Electro Harmonix Memory Boy, Electro Harmonix Holy Grail, Red Witch Fuzz God II, ProCo Rat, Electro Harmonix Frequency Analyzer, Korg Pitchblack Tuner
What's the most inspiring piece of gear in your rig?
Honestly, at the end of the day -- and I'd hate to sound stupid and cliche -- but it's my hands, because it's not like I sit at home and play through all my fuckin' pedals. When I come up with riffs specifically for Orbweaver, it always starts like on the couch or something like that.
Even with all that sound manipulation...
...But, I hear the effects in my head as it's happening. I come up with and I know what going to be called for.
Ampeg SVT (Used for synth and noise implements)
What gear do you still get excited to plug in?
Dude, everything! I love my 800 to death, I love my Explorer, I love my Sovtek, I love each and every single one of my pedals! If I had to narrow it down to one stupid little piece of gear that no matter what, always surprises me, it would be my Electro Harmonix Frequency Analyzer. We were talking about ring modulators earlier, and the fact that it doesn't have a constant oscillation like the Moog does, or the Ringworm does, works better for what I want to do. I want ring mods to totally change the sound of the guitar. In a controlled, but chaotic way. Every day I find something new that I love.
Could you tell me a bit about your Marshall because I know it's been tweaked a bit.
That was my first real amp ever. It's a JCM 800, I always forget the numbers, I think it's a 2210. It's a hundred watt with two channels and reverb. It was a full stack when I got it. I've literally had that head and that cab since I was 14 years old, so, I've had that head for... Oh, my God... 20 fuckin' years! So, that's what I grew up with. That's my sound, I've tried other amps, but that's it. It's been Scholzified (IE: Modified by local amp guru George Scholz), but, I wanted it exactly like it was. When I brought it to him, it was in its original state, it had just been played hard.
'90s Fender Strat Plus
So George restored it, essentially?
I think in the capacitors he put in a higher rating. He definitely sprinkled some pixie dust on it. The thing with George is that he always puts top grade components in, and he realizes that you're going to play this piece of equipment under the worst circumstances possible. George is so good at what he does that he can literally say "No, I don't want to work on that because I don't like it," he's great at what he does.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Felsite (also called felstone [1]) is a very fine grained volcanic rock that may or may not contain larger crystals. Felsite is a field term for a light colored rock that typically requires petrographic examination or chemical analysis for more precise definition. Color is generally white through light gray, or red to tan and may include any color except dark gray, green or black (the colors of trap rock).[1] The mass of the rock consists of a fine-grained matrix of felsic materials, particularly quartz, sodium and potassium feldspar, and may be termed a quartz felsite or quartz porphyry if the quartz phenocrysts are present. This rock is typically of volcanic origin, and may be found in association with obsidian and rhyolite. In some cases, it is sufficiently fine-grained for use in making stone tools.

INDYCAR NEWS AND NOTES - Jan. 11, 2013
Story posted - Jan 11 2013 3:40 PM
INDYCAR NEWS AND NOTES - Jan. 11, 2013
Today's IZOD IndyCar Series, Firestone Indy Lights and Mazda Road to Indy headlines:
1. Foyt team confirms Sato for 2013
2. Pro Mazda driver lineup beginning to take shape
3. Belli joins Panther-Dreyer & Reinbold effort as technical director
4. Honda dealers add support to Houston event
1. Foyt team confirms Sato for 2013: A.J. Foyt likes Takuma Sato's drive. Sato likes A.J. Foyt Racing's potential. Deal done.
Sato will drive the Honda-powered No. 14 ABC Supply-sponsored car for the 19-race IZOD IndyCar Series season.
"There were a lot of question marks when the season ended, but I'm happy to put an end to all that now," team owner A.J. Foyt said. "We chose to go with Takuma Sato because he brings a lot of experience to our team but he
has the hunger of a rookie. He's certainly proven he has the desire to win."
Foyt pointed to the finish of last May's Indianapolis 500, when Sato overtook Scott Dixon and then attempted to get around race leader Dario Franchitti in Turn 1 of the final lap, as an example of Sato's determination.
"I like the fact that he is competitive on both road courses and ovals and that he is a charger," Foyt added. "I think he has learned quite a bit in the short time he's been over here and I look forward to working with him this year."
Sato, who enters his fourth season of IZOD IndyCar Series competition, has earned two pole starts (Iowa and Edmonton in 2011) and posted five top-five and 13 top-10 finishes in 49 starts. His career best is second at Edmonton last July after starting third in the Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing car.
Mike Conway started 14 of the 15 races in 2012 (Wade Cunningham filled in at the season finale at Auto Club Speedway) with a best finish of third at Toronto after qualifying 13th.
"I am extremely excited to be a part of A.J. Foyt Racing and working with ABC Supply for the 2013 season," said Sato, who turns 36 on Jan. 28. "I have seen the potential of the team last year on a number of occasions. I think the team has one of the best engineering staffs in the paddock led by Don Halliday. I can't wait to start testing next month."
Before getting on the track, Sato will get to know principals of the team's sponsor.
"My first assignment is not a tough one at all," he said. "I will be on a seven-day Caribbean cruise with guests of the team's sponsor ABC Supply followed by several appearances at industry trade shows. I am anxious to meet them and start working with this great company."
A.J. Foyt Racing is a charter member of the IZOD IndyCar Series. The team has seven career IZOD IndyCar Series victories, including the 1999 Indianapolis 500 with Kenny Brack, and two series championships. The four-time Indianapolis 500 champion has been competing at the top level of motorsports with his own team since December 1965.
"While I do not know A.J. well yet, it is unbelievable what he did in his career," said Sato, a Tokyo native who resides in Denver. "A.J. has achieved so many wins in every type of car, at every type of circuit, and in every type of situation. That experience can only help in trying to win races this year. I think with A.J. and the team helping me this year, we can be very successful."
2. Pro Mazda driver lineup beginning to take shape: With the 2013 Pro Mazda Championship Presented by Cooper Tires schedule announced this week, drivers are following suit.
Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship Powered by Mazda champion Matthew Brabham announced his deal with Andretti Autosport in December, continuing the pattern of the champion graduating to the second step of the Mazda Road to Indy since the formation of the ladder in 2010 (Sage Karam, 2010; Petri Suvanto, 2011).
Joining him is USF2000 standout Spencer Pigot and series sophomore Juan Piedrahita.
Pigot, from Orlando, Fla., finished runner-up for the second consecutive season in 2012 despite having double the amount of wins as champion Brabham. Eight victories and four pole positions came up seven points short in the championship. The 19-year-old has teamed up with driver and team champion Team Pelfrey for the 2013 season.
"I'm really looking forward to the upcoming season with Team Pelfrey," Pigot said. "Dale has supported me for the past year, so now to be able to drive for his team is another great opportunity. I can't wait to get back on track and start working with the engineers to develop the car on Cooper Tires. It's going to be a very tough year but I'm excited about the new challenges. With a great team behind me I'm confident we can fight for wins."
Piedrahita, 20, returns to front-runner JDC Motorsports after two podiums, five top-five finishes and a seventh overall finish in the championship. It will be his second year with the team at this level of the Mazda Road to Indy, but his third overall, as he spent his lone 2011 season with the team in the Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship.
"It's great to be back with JDC MotorSports for the 2013 season," Piedrahita said. "I'm very grateful for this opportunity, and for sure plan on fighting for wins and the championship. I want to thank John, and the whole team, for giving me a second year in the Pro Mazda series, and to my long-term sponsors which have supported my career from the beginning. I'm ready to go and fight for wins."
The season kicks off on March 1 in Austin, Texas, at the Circuit of the Americas.
3. Belli joins Panther-Dreyer & Reinbold effort as technical director: Longtime Indy car engineer Tino Belli has joined Panther Racing and Dreyer & Reinbold Racing as technical director of the teams' collaborative effort with drivers Oriol Servia and JR Hildebrand.
Most recently, Belli had been with Andretti Autosport, where he was part of an engineering team that captured four IZOD IndyCar Series championships and two Indianapolis 500 wins, for 14 years.
"I'm very much excited about the opportunity to work with Panther Racing and Dreyer & Reinbold Racing," Belli said. "I have to thank (owners) John Barnes, Dennis Reinbold and Robbie Buhl for giving me this opportunity, as both teams have very strong programs in place, and I believe collectively we can accomplish some great things together."
Belli will oversee the teams' engineering departments and the collaboration between race engineers David Cripps (Hildebrand) and Jeff Britton (Servia). Last season, Hildebrand finished a career-best 11th in the standings and is entering his third season driving Panther's No. 4 National Guard entry. Servia saw a substantial jump in performance in 2012 following Panther DRR's switch to Chevrolet power in May, including a fourth-place finish in the Indianapolis 500 and a total of four top-five finishes in the second half of the season.
"Last year we started our collaboration with Dreyer & Reinbold Racing in the middle of the season and we had two separate engineering teams working on their own pathways and this is what we needed to maximize our relationship," Panther Racing's Barnes said.

CSC Solidarity Brigades - volunteering in Cuba |
Brigade Reports
New on Flickr - CSC Summer Brigade 2012 Recent Brigade Programmes (PDFs): Draft Programme for Summer Brigade 2011 Draft Programme for Winter Brigade 2011 Draft Programme for Summer Brigade 2009 |
For specific details of our forthcoming Brigades to Cuba please visit our Tours section or contact firstname.lastname@example.com for details. Planning your gap year or a holiday with a difference? Why not become more than a tourist on an island of incredible beauty, immense cultural diversity and unique social history? The Solidarity Brigade consists of groups from the solidarity organisations of several European countries. Members of the Brigade spend their time near Havana on the 'Campamiento Internacional Julio Antonio Mella' (CIJAM) as a 'Brigadista', working, learning and socialising with Cubans and people from all across Europe. It is a unique opportunity to experience the Cuban Revolution firsthand and show that Cuba is not alone. See the real Cuba Brigadistas take part in a full programme of educational and political talks, workshops and meetings, plus visits to hospitals and schools and other social and industrial developments to see for themselves the successes of the Revolution. Entertainment is provided at CIJAM with live bands and dance lessons, whilst excursions to some of Cuba's fantastic beaches and places of interest are organised. Groups have been invited to performances by the National Ballet and National Theatre in Havana, as well as meeting local musicians, dancers and theatrical performers. You will also have free time in which to explore. CIJAM is a purpose-built centre for international visitors, providing dormitory accomodation, meals, a bar and shop, basic sports facilities and lecture spaces for the programme of activites. Each Brigade also includes a multi-night stay in another part of the island – previous groups have visited Vinales, Pinar Del Rio, Varadero, Santiago and other fantastic areas. Whilst English-speaking staff are available at the centre, a basic understanding of Spanish is useful (though not vital). You will have plenty of opportunity to practise your Spanish if you are a learner! CSC organises three regular solidarity Brigades a year: the May Day Brigade, focussing on young Trade Union activists and celebrating May Day in Havana, the Summer Brigade usually in July and the Winter Brigade in December. Cuba Solidarity Campaign will organise a Preparation Day before you leave, giving you the opportunity to meet Brigadistas both old and new, to share experiences of Brigade life and ask any questions you may have, as well as meeting the people with whom you will share this amazing experience. PLEASE NOTE: All participants on the Brigade must be at least 18 years old by the date of departure. What to do nextPlease visit our Tours section to check the dates and details of upcoming Brigades. Details of how to apply are listed for each individual brigade. If you have questions please email firstname.lastname@example.com. Cuba Solidarity Campaign |

The Black-Footed Ferret
A Masterwork of Stealth and Killing Efficiency
by Jay W. Sharp
The black-footed ferret, a masked, furtive and efficient killer, likely emigrated from Siberia to the Americas across the Bering Strait land bridge early in the Ice Ages, and it established itself as a fearful nighttime presence in the prairie dog towns of the America's Great Plains.
The Species History
The black-footed ferret, closely related to the European and Siberian polecats, according to the Black-footed Ferret Recovery Program Internet site, discovered ferret heaven among America's prairie dogs. It learned to capitalize on the opportunities offered unwittingly by the prairie dog community. It appropriated labyrinthine prairie dog burrows, where it took shelter, cached food, and bore and raised a family. It viewed the prairie dogs themselves as a larder, taking perhaps 100 of them in the course of a year, said the Animal Info Internet site.
The black-footed ferret not only found an ideal home among the prairie dogs, it found vast opportunities for expanding its range into new towns, which spread across prairie lands extending from Canada's southern Saskatchewan southward across 12 western U. S. states and into Mexico's northern Chihuahua. The total prairie dog population may have numbered five billion at the peak. "In 1901 the famed federal biologist C. Hart Merriam of the Bureau of Biological Survey reported a single Texas town spread over 25,000 square miles," said William Stolzenburg in "Prairie Dogs; Understanding the Underdog," Nature Conservancy Internet site. The prairie dog population in that single community, on the high plains of the state, may have equaled some 400 million. Across the entire prairie dog range, the black-footed ferret population probably numbered in the tens of millions.
With its masked face and secretive nocturnal hunts, the black-footed ferret took on an air of mystery. It came to play a role in the mystic lives of the Indians of America's western prairie lands, according to the ferret recovery program site. For instance, its skin and body parts were used by Navajo medicine men in healing ceremonies and by spiritual leaders in tribal rituals. The animal held a place of reverence by northwestern Arizona's Hualapai Indians, who believed the creatures of the night to be sacred.
The Consummate Predator
The black-footed ferret's evolutionary path culminated in the consummate predator, in fact, a serial prairie dog killer. About two feet in length (including the tail) and two or three pounds in weight, the animal slender, slinky, swift and agile bears a Zorro-like mask across its eyes. It has "black feet, and a black-tipped tail," said the ferret recovery program site. "The rest of its short, sleek fur is a yellow-buff color, lighter on the belly and nearly white on the forehead, muzzle, and throat. It has short legs with large front paws and claws developed for digging. The ferret's large ears and eyes suggest it has acute hearing and sight, but smell is probably its most important sense for hunting prey underground in the dark." Its coat serves as perfect camouflage in the prairies, where it is practically undetectable, even in the daytime, unless it moves.
The black-footed ferret emerges from its burrow to hunt primarily in the night. Traveling in a kind of undulating gallop, it may cover several miles and investigate many dozen prairie dog burrows in a single evening, said the Animal Info Internet site. With its slender and agile body, it slips effortlessly into a burrow, blocking the sleeping prairie dog's escape. It attacks its slumbering prey, killing it swiftly with a bite to the neck. So stealthy that it usually eludes observation, it did not appear in the literature until 1851, when the eminent John James Audubon first reported on the animal.
The Ferret's Life History
The black-footed ferret the only ferret native to North America belongs to the weasels, or the mustelids, a family of 65 ferocious meat-eating species that includes, not only the polecats, but also weasels, badgers, martens, otters, minks, wolverines and others. "The smallest mustelid is the least weasel, weighing 1.2 to 2.4 ounces" according to the Enchanted Learning Internet site, and "the biggest mustelid is the South American giant otter, weighing 60-90 pounds." The mustelids, which took their own evolutionary path about 35 million years ago, live in a wide-range of environments in North and South America, Europe, Asia and Africa. They all have, said Enchanted Learning, "5-toed feet with claws. Most have a long body, small, rounded ears, small eyes, and short legs." They have, under their tails, scent glands that they use to produce a powerfully repellant stink.
The black-footed ferret, judging by the behavior of captive animals, breeds in the early spring, said a Texas Parks and Wildlife Department paper "The Black-footed Ferret." During the mating season, the male charms the female by "chortling." After mating, the male promptly abandons his mate. The pregnant female holds full responsibility for raising her coming family.
In the wild, she takes over a vacated prairie dog burrow, which may wander 30 to 40 feet in length and 10 to 15 feet in depth. It may comprise several entrances and chambers with interconnecting tunnels. After a gestation period of about six weeks, she delivers a litter of three to five blind, helpless and squeaking "kits," which grow swiftly under their mother's care.
Within six or seven weeks, a kit ventures from its burrow for the first time, typically making its debut early in the morning. Under its mother's tutelage, it learns the art of the hunt. It plays with siblings, stalking, chasing and "attacking," perfecting skills it will need as an adult. It learns to bark and hiss if it is alarmed. It will learn the "ferret dance," which it will perform with its mouth wide open, "hopping, leaping and bucking with total reckless abandon," said the ferret recover program site.
Click on the picture to see a short video on the weasel part of Mustelidae family.
By early fall, the young ferret, now almost fully grown and newly independent, leaves home to stake out its own territory, either within the immediately surrounding prairie dog town or within a neighboring town. "It is during this dispersal period that the young are exposed to the greatest danger," said Texas Parks and Wildlife, for it is then that they learn, sometimes the hard way, about the threats raised by predators such as coyotes, foxes, bobcats, badgers, rattlesnakes and predatory birds. As an unwelcome newcomer to a prospective territory, it may, says the Kids Planet Internet site, find itself under attack by a gang of prairie dogs.
If the young ferret survives the dispersal period, it will take up the routine of a mostly solitary life, especially during the fall and winter, within a community of sociable extroverts. It will mark its territory by rubbing its scent glands on the surrounding plants, soil and stones. It will find, according to the Wildlife Habitat Management Institute's leaflet, "The Black-Tailed Prairie Dog," that its neighbors live in what biologists call "wards," which encompass about five acres with a population density of about five to 35 animals per acre. It will discover that a prairie dog family, including a male with a small harem and several juveniles, lives in a "coterie," a home territory that covers roughly an acre.
Altogether, said Texas Parks and Wildlife, "The area required to support a sustainable breeding population of 40 to 60 adult ferrets is estimated to be about 6000 acres of prairie dog towns, either contiguous or located within about 4 miles of one another."
Within its own hunting range, a two- to three-pound black-footed young ferret will live out the several years of its life taking, annually, scores of two- to three-pound prairie dogs as well as occasional birds, rodents and rabbits.
The Demise of the Black-footed Ferret
The black-footed ferret, like other abundant species in its range, fell victim to America's western advance, a human tidal wave that led to the most horrendous wildlife slaughter in history. While the massive buffalo and antelope herds and the wolf packs of the western range lands fell to professional hunters, the black-footed ferret population collapsed as prairie dog towns disintegrated in the wake of wholesale poisoning campaigns, hunters' bullets, large-scale cattle grazing, farmers' plows, urban development and introduced diseases. Within decades, the range of the black-footed ferret and its prairie dog hosts had shrunk by more than 98 percent.
By 1967, according to the ferret recover program site, the black-footed ferret appeared on the list of Endangered Species, with no more than mere handful remaining from the original population of tens of millions. Twelve years later, the ferret, this distinctive animal of the American West, appeared to have vanished. In the fall of 1981, however, a small, unknown and highly welcome colony of ferrets turned up near the community of Meeteetse, Wyoming. Within a few years, it almost disappeared with an outbreak of canine distemper and sylvatic plague. By 1987, the last 18 Meeteetse black-footed ferrets now probably the most rare mammal on earth had been captured by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Wyoming Game and Fish Department. These animals would be charged with saving the species.
Hope for the Black-footed Ferret
Within a short time, black-footed ferrets named Becky and Jenny produced the first litters of kits in the captive breeding program established by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department and the American Zoo & Aquarium Association. By 1989, the ferrets had increased their numbers to 120, raising hopes that the animal might be saved after all and even re-introduced to the wild.
In fact, said the ferret recovery program site, "Since 1991, federal and state agencies, in cooperation with private landowners, conservation groups, Native Americans, and the North American zoo community, have been actively reintroducing ferrets back into the wild. Beginning in Wyoming, reintroduction efforts have since expanded to sites in Montana, South Dakota, and Arizona. Proposed reintroduction sites have been identified in Colorado and Utah." Another reintroduction site has been established in Chihuahua, near the village of Janos.
The ferret experienced a banner year in 1998, when they produced more kits in the wild than in captivity for the first time since the program began.
"The Recovery Plan for the black-footed ferret calls for the establishment of 10 or more separate, self-sustaining wild populations. By the year 2010, biologists hope to have 1500 ferrets established in the wild, with no fewer than 30 breeding adults in each population. If these objectives are met, the ferret could be downlisted from endangered to threatened status."
Although the black-footed ferret a symbol of the destruction of much of the wildlife community of the American West will remain vulnerable to predators, disease, agricultural and urban development, and habitat fragmentation, it may yet be saved.

Cardiff Council and South Wales Police are about to launch a new CCTV enforcement scheme aimed at keeping some of the bus lanes around the city free of traffic.
The Bus Lane Enforcement scheme starts this Monday January 26 and is a joint initiative between Cardiff Council and South Wales Police.
As more and more passengers use buses to get round Cardiff, the main aim is to keep routes clear so services can run freely and on time.
Very often motorists just don't think – many use Cardiff's bus lanes as a quick short cut during rush hour, as a convenient parking space to get to the shops or as a temporary lorry and van unloading bay.
Deputy Leader of Cardiff Council, Councillor Michael Michael (Enterprise and Transport) said: "This is not a money-making venture for either the council or the police, but a way of keeping public transport in Cardiff moving.
He added: "As more and more people opt to leave their cars at home and use public transport to get in and around the city, it's imperative we give buses the freedom of clear bus lanes to be able to run efficiently and on time.
"I'm sure when the scheme is up and running passengers will notice a big improvement to their bus journeys."
This Monday the Bus Lane Enforcement begins which means any motorists recorded using the bus lanes on CCTV camera might receive a warning letter from the police.
After a two week trial period the Bus Lane Enforcement will then go `live' on February 9 and any driver using bus lanes illegally will receive a £30 fixed penalty notice.
Jeff Cooksley, South Wales Police Divisional Commander for Cardiff, said: "We would urge motorists to embrace the new scheme, as it will help to improve the way traffic is regulated and managed in the city.
He added: "In partnership with Cardiff Council, the early stages of the scheme will see warning letters issued to offenders; prosecution in the form of a £30 fixed penalty notice may be issued thereafter.
"This is not a money making venture, but an initiative designed to improve the public image of Cardiff in the long run."
Alan Kreppel, Managing Director of Cardiff Bus, said: "We welcome the joint Cardiff Council and South Wales Police scheme to enforce restrictions on the use of bus lanes.
He explained: "This measure will ensure that buses are not impeded by illegally parked cars and that the flow of traffic is not held up by people illegally using bus lanes and adding to the problem of congestion."

Although it is universally a bigger problem in men, women too suffer from hair loss, and both genders go to great extents in attempts to regrow hair. Whether we're talking about taking pills, rubbing creams into your scalp or even going to the cosmetic surgeon to have hair transplanted from one part of your scalp to another, the methods are wide ranging and all have one thing in common: they're costly and not guaranteed to work. Many people are looking for alternative remedies and some turn to vitamins for hair loss.
How exactly do vitamins for hair loss work? Well, we all know that vitamins can help to strengthen your skin, bones, immune system and assist you in leading an overall healthier lifestyle, and your hair also benefits from that as it is just as much a part of your body as anything else. Although hair is obviously expendable, it can be strengthened by vitamins.
When you check most online lists of vitamin B benefits & side effects, odds are you won't find "hair regrowth" listed in the positive section of every one, but strengthening and growing hair is actually a benefit of a specific B vitamin – biotin. This is a powerful vitamin that strengthens skin, nails and hair and can actually help prevent further hair loss and, in some cases, even promote the growth of new hair.
Another vitamin called PABA, or Para-Aminobenzoic, is an essential vitamin to take if you're looking to deal with the problems of hair loss. Individuals losing color in their hair prematurely or who are losing their actual hair are sometimes suffering from a PABA deficiency, so simply taking a B complex supplement or eating a diet rich in vitamin B can help reverse this trend.
Vitamin C is another important vitamin to take if you want to promote strong and healthy hair. C vitamins are great for strengthening your hair and skin, and everything from citrus fruits and strawberries to potatoes and bell peppers will give you a lot of vitamin C.

Rep. Erik Fresen, Pro-Gambling Lawmaker, Owes Thousands To The IRS
Rep. Erik Fresen |
Then again, considering Fresen's own troubles with paying the IRS, maybe it's no shock that he's not putting taxpayers first.
According to Miami-Dade court records, Fresen owes close to thirty grand in taxes to the Internal Revenue Service and $641,000 to his mortgage lender. For a guy who claims a personal net worth of $330,000, that is a lot a debt. Even worse, he didn't list the obligations on his most recent personal financial disclosure statements.
Fresen didn't return multiple messages Riptide left at his offices in Miami and in Tallahassee.
Under Florida law, it is illegal for public officials to omit liabilities on the declaration form. Recently, the Miami-Dade Ethics Commission fined ex-North Bay Village Mayor Corina Esquijarosa because she submitted a disclosure statement that did not list a judgement against her, as well as income she derived from a rental property.
On Fresen's 2010 disclosure sheet, he lists just $113,000 in Sallie Mae student loans as his only liability. Yet, the IRS recently filed a lien against Fresen, claiming he did not pay $7,274 in income taxes he owed in 2004, as well as $21,925 owed for 2007.
That's not all. In 2009, La Salle Bank won a $641,000 final judgement for foreclosure on Fresen's Coral Gables residence. A year later, the judgment was overturned and the bank had to file new foreclosure proceedings against Fresen. Since the debts occurred before 2010, Fresen was required to list then all on the liabilities section.
It is not the first time the state representative, a "land use consultant" who was first elected in 2008, has been accused of breaking the rules.
Last year he paid $10,000 in fines for submitting incomplete and late campaign reports between 2008 and 2009. This past April, a Tallahassee mom filed a state ethics commission complaint against Fresen. Trish Thompson alleges Fresen helped slip language into a charter school bill that would benefit a charter school company called Academica that employs his sister and brother-in-law. The complaint was recently dismissed.

I am married to Mike, a Finance professional whom I met in college at the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee, and we love laughing our way through these first few years of parenting.
Being a Type A by nature, makes staying at home challenging. As an extremely ambitious person, I enjoy filling my days with playdates and activities for my children. I'm adventurous and love new challenges. Challenges include starting my own blog to share resources about being a mom in Milwaukee at Milwaukee Mammas as well as conversing and sharing about resources to raise healthy, active kids at Get Active Today.
In my free time, I enjoy photography, reading, running, camping, gardening, cooking, entertaining and biking. Living in Wisconsin, I cherish our warm months and spend as much time outside as possible. My daughters have taught me to relax and enjoy the little moments in life, a lesson that I hope to share with other mommy friends.

Hi guys, Last week I went down to MEPS to swear in and do my physical. I was going for the 35G MOS (Imagery Analyst) and everything was going well until I had to take the depth perception test. To make a long story short, I failed it which disqualified me from the job. I'm going back to MEPS tomorrow because a 35F (Intelligence Analyst) job is open in my area. My question to you is - do you guys know if having passed the depth perception test is needed to be able to get this job or am I screwed? Thanks in advance. | ||

Where is your recruiting station? Is it that the MOS only pulled up in your area? Also, did you take the job? What's the word? | |||

Big Enough, Anyway
Here's the basic outline: in 1967, when he was the sixteen-year-old front man for the Box Tops, Alex Chilton made the charts with the improbably big-bottomed pop-soul record "The Letter." The Box Tops--always one of my favorite names for a second-tier '60s pop group--managed to turn out enough singles for a dandy greatest-hits collection, but it wasn't until they disbanded in 1970 that Chilton learned guitar, began songwriting in earnest, and showed signs of an inspiring flakiness. In 1971, in Memphis, he joined up with Chris Bell to form the core of Big Star, one of the greatest American groups of that era to never sell a record until years after their dissolution. By the time I started buying records myself in the late 1970s, nothing by Big Star was still in print--not that this caused me distress at the time, because I'd never heard of them--but a few years later, their name started making it into such self-consciously new-style bibles of hip as Trouser Press, with the understanding that they were noble commercial failures who set down roots that were only now being tapped by the emerging jangle-pop bands, such as R.E.M.
By that time, Chilton was well into his storied solo career. A disconcerting number of the stories revolved around the reports that he was a drug-addled, drink-sodden wreck, and there was plenty of evidence to back the image up, starting with his willingness to be in the same room with, never mind produce, Tav Falco's Panther Burns. Every so often, though, he came through with the goods, whether it was the eary single "Bangkok" or the best scrapings off his lovably erratic comeback album Like Flies on Sherbert, the coming-back-from-the-comeback surprise EP Feudalist Tarts, or my all-time favorite AIDS awareness song of the Reagan era, "No Sex." ("Pretty soon we're all gonna get it/ It's time to buy some stuff on credit.") That solo career never stabilized, but for a while there, there were three things you could count on from ol' Alex: he'd eventually release something, and it would be a long way from perfect and often a bit of a ways from recommendable to anyone but the passionately converted, and by God, there would be something on it that'd knock your hat in the creek. Now he's dea, at 57, of a heart attack.
What none of this information conveys is the special kind of affection--hell, call it love--that every rock freak I hung out with in the '80s and '90s, and who I wouldn't mind hanging out with today if I still had their numbers and addresses, seemed to feel for Alex Chilton. Paul Westerberg came close to capturing it in the Replacements song, "Alex Chilton", in which he depicted the barnstorming Chilton as a terrestrial minor deity, a living rock god but a down-to-earth one, with a well-worn minivan for a tour bus and a deep familiarity with Holiday Inns. (That song appeared on Pleased to Meet Me, the 'Mats' second album for a major label and their first after the dismissal of their own Dionysian fuck-up and rock-god figure, Bob Stinson, who left his mark on a few great records and died the death that many people assumed Chilton must have been headed for. Maybe Westerberg wrote that song when he most needed to believe it.) Chilton himself probably said it best, describing the impact that a song about him had on his career: "A lot of times people will just come up and be excited about it. The words they say are maybe not all that informative or interesting. It's just the excitement that's the main part of the message: 'Dude! Alex Chilton! Wow!' That sort of thing." I suspect that the people who heard that song fell into two categories, those who'd never heard of Chilton before and immediately thought, Man, I need me a piece of that, and those of us who were already fans and were grateful t Westerberg for translating what we'd all felt about him into words and a beat.
I suppose that much of the hero worship that Chilton inspired was the sort that pinheads express towards anyone who's legendary for having trashed himself; Keith Moon and George Jones and Tom Waits and Keith Richards all inspired some of that in their day, and so did a lot of sorry wankers who I'd rather not mention in the same post as them, especially not on what really should be a national day of mourning. But I know that, for a lot of people my age, Chilton's name had a special magic to it because of what was resolutely unmagical about him. He was a working stiff, someone who'd had his greatest popular success when he was still practically a child and who preferred to tend his own garden and do what struck his fancy than try to replicate it or cash in on it. When he met the Replacements after they'd helped introduce him to a new audience and solidify his standing as a college radio cult hero, it was on more or less equal terms: he wasn't a big swinging dick of the music industry whose ring they had to kiss, but he wasn't a broken-down dude out of rehab who had to be beholden to the big new stars, either. They were both pros, in it for the long haul, stubbornly working their limited market share, left of the dial. But Chilton was treasurable in that company because of his experience and the fact that he'd had a mass success and had kept making music without having one again.
It's an open question whether he could have had another one if he'd wanted it. But the fact that he seemed capable of living without it--that he let Big Star run its course rather than twist the band's sound this way or that, desperately trying to have a hit, and settled in Memphis and then New Orleans, where he tried new things and did what he pleased whenever he could book some studio time instead of carving out a niche in Vegas or L.A. and working the oldies circuit--made him seem like one of the guys to those of us who spent our college years, in the '80s and '90s, crowded into underheated music venues with walls plastered with mimeographed fliers and creaking wood floors that felt as if they might have given way if too many people had cheeseburgers on their way to the gig and squatting in cars with the radio tuned to the college station. His whole career had an improvisational, D.I.Y. feel to it that was inspiring, especially to those of us who weren't sure enough that we'd be dead by thirty that we sometimes wondered if it was possible to bypass business school and still have a future with some dignity. "Dignity" isn't the first word that comes to mind when thinking of Chilton, but he did earn himself plenty of respect, to go with all the love. I know a lot of people who thought of him when Katrina hit New Orleans, and I know a lot of people who reacted with a mixture of relief and "whadaya expect?" when word spread that he'd patiently waited out the cataclysm in a handy bar, like Walter Matthau in Earthquake. Technically, he wasn't supposed to die, ever. But you can expect your heroes to do only so much for you.
You know, I really should have called this blog "Cerebral Rape and Pillage." Too late now, though.

I saw Tav Falco deliver a hell of a live show at the Lone Star Café around 1991-92.

I came here via Scott McLemee and I'm glad I did. Enjoyed your piece very much, and it also put me in mind of my own inspiring flake, the forgotten Beat writer Seymour Krim. It may be that in our post-boom times hangover we have a special affection for those who stuck to their eccentric knitting instead of staying out late trying to be in with the in crowd.

Welcome Back, Katie!
As her new talk show launches, Katie Couric shares her midlife lessons on dealing with regrets, looking for lasting love, managing menopause(!) — and having more fun than ever
By Jenny Allen
Special Offers
So when she talks about having fun, Katie's not talking about a giddy escape from the vicissitudes of life. She's not carefree — who, at 55, is? She's talking about something else, about embracing her life with all its trials and challenges. "I'm very aware," she says thoughtfully, "of getting every drop of joy from the present."
The months since leaving her anchor post at CBS, which required her to be on call virtually 24/7, have given her the gift of some rare time to breathe — to "recharge," as she puts it.
She's quick to point out that she's been working, as well — on specials for ABC, her new employer, and filling in for a week on Good Morning America. And she's been up to her usual good deeds. She's traveled the country to promote her recent book, The Best Advice I Ever Got, a collection of essays by Meryl Streep, Suze Orman, and others, and has donated all her proceeds to Scholarship America, a nonprofit that helps send students to college. Her long-standing work on colon cancer awareness and research continues, and she's now a public face and fund-raiser for Stand Up 2 Cancer (SU2C), the next step in the initiative.
Relatively speaking, though, she's been a woman of leisure. "Not having to put on makeup every day was a godsend," she says. "Not having overscheduled days, not having to get on a plane at the drop of a hat — it was just nice.
"It was a time for me to recalibrate, which is a word I think of a lot. I try to reevaluate all the aspects of my life — what am I doing right, what am I doing wrong, am I spending enough time with my kids? This year has allowed me to take some time and get off the treadmill a little bit...to slow down, which I haven't done for 32 years." She's been enjoying her house in the Hamptons (her recent photo posts on Twitter include an image of peonies from her garden). She's learning Italian with the help of the Rosetta Stone program. "I want to be Diane Lane and go under the Tuscan sun," she says. "I want to be Diane Lane, period."
More important, she's been able to spend more time with her girls: Ellie, who's now 21, and Carrie, 16. After today's recording session, she and Ellie will be cheering on Carrie at a school track meet. But Katie's all too aware that Carrie will be at college like her sister soon, and then Katie will be alone. Recently, Carrie floated the idea of going to college in California. The idea of her younger daughter's living so far away "was like a knife in my heart," Katie says, only half joking.
"It's a bittersweet time, "she says. "I love being around my kids. I'm not a particularly solitary person...I like a big, chaotic household — noise, commotion, laughter! Sometimes I think I should have had six kids. Or I wish I'd had one [more] at 37, but I was busy. My career," she says regretfully.
With Ellie at college and Carrie busy with schoolwork, Katie finds that "it's awfully quiet in our apartment. And Carrie can be a typical 16-year-old girl."
Katie knows that no one can bruise your feelings the way an adolescent girl can. "They're very proficient at the surgical strike, [knowing] just where that tender spot is," she notes ruefully.
In fact, after the recording session, while Katie and the others relax in the control room, the following conversation takes place:
"My daughter loves you," says Ashley, one of the two backup singers and also a member of Katie's church.
"I love her," says Katie.
"It's special," says Ashley.
"It is," says Katie. "Because my daughter is so not into me. I'm so happy when she comes into my bed and lets me do her history with her." Carrie's not always so cozy. "You have to have a lot of self-esteem to take it," says Katie of the tension that can come between a mom and her teen.
But she also knows that Carrie is doing the work that adolescents need to do. "It's just a part of detaching and finding your way," she says. "As a friend of mine says, especially when you have a mother like me who's in the public eye, it's more difficult to separate — and more important to do that, to find your own path."
Katie may be a tender mother, but she's also determined that her girls will fend for themselves. "I've told them they have to find their way. They can't depend on me," she says about life — and finances — after college. "I'm hard-nosed that way." When Ellie expressed surprise, "I said, 'Welcome to the real world, honey.'
"Of course, if they really needed something, I'd help, but they have to establish their own identities, and that includes their own financial identities. You want them to be independent; you don't want them to be slackers in any way, shape, or form. And I know I'm in a very enviable position to even have these issues."

This is a bit riper with aromas of yellow orchard fruit, white flowers and a hint of sea breeze. There is good vibrancy to the rich, delicious and attractively textured flavors that terminate in a clean and dry finish. Like the Petit Chablis, this is not particularly complex but again, the delivery is frank and there is ample Chablis character. Drink 2014+. (7/ 2012)
Bright, pale, green-tinged yellow. Sexy aromas of mandarin orange, wild herbs and saline, oyster-shell minerality, plus a suggestion of brioche. Supple and broad on entry, then less sweet and showy in the middle than the village offering under the Domaine Sainte-Claire label. But this has more eclat and finishes with very good mineral-driven energy, along with an intriguing gingery nuance. A good example of biodynamically farmed vines that ripened nicely in 2011 without losing snap. (7/ 2012)
Lemon, white flowers and crushed rocks are layered together nicely in the 2011 Chablis Domaine Sainte Claire. Tasted from tank, the 2011 possesses gorgeous vibrancy and brightness to match an energetic, polished, promising personality. Anticipated maturity: 2013+. (8/ 2012)
