The Great Hudson River Estuary Fish Count
Exploring fish diversity in the river that flows both ways
The Great Hudson River Estuary Fish Count is a one-day event each summer during which naturalists at multiple sites along the Hudson catch fish to show visitors the variety of slippery, wriggly, and fascinating creatures usually hidden below the river's surface. Fresh upriver and salty at New York City, the Hudson estuary and its watershed are home to more than 200 fish species, including several that migrate into the river from the Atlantic Ocean each spring to spawn. The count is organized by DEC's Hudson River Estuary Program.
How are the fish caught?
Depending on the site, seines, minnow traps, and rods and reels are used to collect fish. Seining typically involves two people hauling a curtain of net through shallow water. Participants in the Fish Count programs may watch from shore or jump into waterproof waders and help pull in the net. After the naturalists display and discuss the catch, the fish are released back to the river.
What sorts of fish are found?
Over the last three years, 37 different species of fish have been recorded during the count. The most widespread species have been the striped bass and white perch, each caught in both fresh and brackish water. In 2014, young stripers were seen at sites from Brooklyn Bridge Park on the East River in New York City to Schodack Island State Park on the Hudson about 12 miles south of Albany. Among freshwater species, spottail shiners have been the most frequent catch. In salty water, that honor has gone to the Atlantic silverside. However, the young of anadromous species (those that are born in fresh water but live in the ocean for most of their lives) are also abundant. These include the striped bass and three species of herring: the alewife, blueback herring, and American shad.
What do the results show?
Participating groups share results during the day to see how the Hudson's range of habitats and salinities supports an wide array of fishes, and to appreciate the estuary's vitality in both urban and rural settings. Much of the catch is young fish - offspring of parents that swam upriver in spring - underlining the importance of the river's nursery habitat. Of the 1,852 fish caught in 2014, 858 (46%) were young of the year herring; another 344 (19 %) were young striped bass. The results also show the year-to-year variability in the numbers and distribution of fish. In 2014, 50 Atlantic silversides were caught at sites as far north as Sleepy Hollow, just north of the Tappan Zee Bridge - this compares to only 5 netted in 2013 at one site (Brooklyn Bridge Park) and - in 2012 - 35 caught as far north as Piermont, just south of the Tappan Zee Bridge.
World Science Festival's New York City Fish Count - May 30, 2015
As part of this year's World Science Festival, educators from the DEC, the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University's Earth Institute, and New York metro area agencies and environmental education groups will be participating in a NYC metro area fish count on May 30, 2015, at fourteen sites from Yonkers and Englewood, NJ, to Jamaica Bay and Staten Island. Use the link in the right hand navigation column to visit the World Science Festival website for details on this free event. Participants employing beach seines will report their catch by following the beach seine report link, also in the right hand navigation column. There should be one report per site, including all qualitative and quantitative observations. Results will be posted following the event.
When will the next Hudson River fish count take place?
Below is a list of of sites that participated in the 2014 Great Hudson River Estuary Fish Count on August 2, showing the number of species caught at each site. For more information on the results, email the Hudson River Estuary Program at firstname.lastname@example.com . The 2015 count is scheduled for August 15; check back with this page for details as they become available.

But this isn't all. These can iron on to any fabric. You could make coordinating pillows, curtains, and blankets for baby's room in no time at all! You could iron one onto a diaper bag or use them to cover up stains on baby's clothes. They'd look especially cute on the back of baby's pants. (I don't know about you, but asking my husband "Guess what?" then responding "Panda butt" with my daughter just never got old.)
I've actually seen people use these iron on appliques straight on the walls (thank you Pinterest for opening up such a world of possibilities) and they supposedly peel off just like vinyl. So you could use them to decorate baby's room as well. I haven't tried this, so I'd recommend testing in a closet or something before your newly painted nursery.
So I'm excited to announce to you that today I'm making the whole process EVEN EASIER for you. I'm releasing in my Etsy shop premade iron on onesies for $2.50 apiece! They'll ship next day so that within a week you can have a gorgeous collection of onesies of your own or a perfect craft project for a baby shower.
firstname.lastname@example.com or convo me on Etsy and I'd be happy to even pick up the onesies for you and make a complete DIY kit for the next baby shower you're hosting. How easy is that?!
I've used these iron on appliques to decorate my fabric buntings as well. These are great decorations for a child's party or for their bedrooms. (The one I made for my daughter's second birthday is hanging in her room right now and we both love it!)
So can I make you one? The shapes are only $2.50 apiece (or less if ordered in a pack). I'd be happy to customize items for you as well. Say you want the guitar in a pink zebra print fabric or the fish in purple and white polka dots, let me know and I will see what I can do to accommodate you. I love custom orders!
My shop is listed below. Please browse around, favorite your favorites, and let other people know. As an added incentive, you can also use the code BLOGGER10 to get 10% off your total Binge Crafter purchase!

Many thanks

Any good?? i know its not the latest thing on the market but the 680 can be very expensive
A 2GB GTX 680 costs less than a 3GB GTX 580, at least at retail. The 680 is more expensive than a standard 1.5GB 580.
I'm not sure exactly what model your Silverstone PSU might be, but any respectable 850W PSU should be more than adequate for any single card. It's probably OK for two GTX 680s (less power needed than dual 580s).

'Nimda' worm strikes Net, e-mailSeptember 18, 2001
SirCam worm still a serious threatSeptember 5, 2001
Data furnished by e-mail service provider MessageLabs placed the SirCam virus, which hit the Internet last August, at the top of its list of hostile attachments. MessageLabs intercepts such attachments for its clients.
Antivirus company Trend Micro's virus-tracking center placed SirCam at No. 3, right after Nimda and a variant of that 6-month-old worm.
The success of the old computer viruses is the result of continued susceptibility on the part of home computer users, said John Harrington, U.S. marketing director for U.K.-based MessageLabs.
"Most of those home users don't have antivirus programs in place, and when they do have them in place, they don't download the newest signatures," Harrington said.
While businesses tend to respond to the threat of a new virus within days or weeks, home users are not only more likely to leave a computer open to attack, they're also more likely to open a worm attached to an e-mail message.
Not all leading viruses were released last year. A third antivirus company, Russia-based Kaspersky Labs, released a Top 20 virus list for March, placing the Klez worm, released on the Internet in mid-January, in the No. 1 position. SirCam reached the fourth-highest position on Kaspersky's list.
Which viruses top which lists varies depending on what the companies measure and the region in which a company's products are most popular, said MessageLabs' Harrington.
MessageLabs counts the number of attachments found in e-mail sent to its clients, so worms that send more e-mail will generally top its list.
Kaspersky and Trend Micro count the number of incidents reported to their support centers. Trend Micro also counts the number of computers scanned by its online antivirus scanner that were found to be infected. Kaspersky tends to be more popular in Europe and Russia, while Trend Micro is most popular in the Asia-Pacific region.

Product description
To most of us, learning something "the hard way" implies wasted time and effort. Good teaching, we believe, should be creatively tailored to the different learning styles of students and should use strategies that make learning easier. "Make It Stick "turns fashionable ideas like these on their head. Drawing on recent discoveries in cognitive psychology and other disciplines, the authors offer concrete techniques for becoming more productive learners. Memory plays a central role in our ability to carry out complex cognitive tasks, such as applying knowledge to problems never before encountered and drawing inferences from facts already known. New insights into how memory is encoded, consolidated, and later retrieved have led to a better understanding of how we learn. Grappling with the impediments that make learning challenging leads both to more complex mastery and better retention of what was learned. Many common study habits and practice routines turn out to be counterproductive. Underlining and highlighting, rereading, cramming, and single-minded repetition of new skills create the illusion of mastery, but gains fade quickly. More complex and durable learning come from self-testing, introducing certain difficulties in practice, waiting to re-study new material until a little forgetting has set in, and interleaving the practice of one skill or topic with another. Speaking most urgently to students, teachers, trainers, and athletes, "Make It Stick "will appeal to all those interested in the challenge of lifelong learning and self-improvement.

In the weeks since the Jan. 8 mass shooting, many politicians and other well-intentioned people have seized upon Tucson to teach the entire population of the United States the lesson that the tone of our political discourse must moderate.Read More »

Newton trying not to be distraction
Panthers quarterback Cam Newton has a plan to become a better leader: He intends to keep his frustrations in check because in the past they have been a distraction to his teammates.
WHO WILL EXPLODE?Ronnie Hillman could be in for a big season, but he's just one of the Top 10 Breakout Players for 2013.
Newton took mistakes hard, his competitive drive leading to him getting down on himself - during and after games.
He told The Associated Press, ''Oh man, I had it bad. I still do have it to some degree.''
But Newton says with the help of his coaches he's getting better.
He's changing his approach, and his new motto is: ''Next play.''
The third-year pro's has put up record-setting numbers, but said he's learned the public sulking that has plagued him - and drawn much criticism - ''can be a turnoff'' and isn't helping the team.
The Panthers are 13-19 in his two seasons, and just 2-12 in games decided by seven points or less.
However, the 6-foot-5, 243-pound signal-caller and his teammates believe late last season he improved dramatically when it came to controlling his emotions and the Panthers won five or their last six games.
''There are times when I am worried about the play where I overthrew (Steve Smith) - and now it is three plays later,'' Newton said. ''If I let that affect me the next ball is not going to be complete or it might be intercepted. It's like a snowball effect. For me it's about moving on and understanding that mistakes are going to happen. But you have to bounce back and make the most of each and every play.''
Too often Newton said he didn't do that - or at least didn't do it quick enough.
''I've learned that it needs to be, `Hey Cam, let's put all of that aside and let's go make plays and win us a football game,''' Newton said. ''But my turnover has to be quicker so I get by it mentally and say, `Hey I messed up, but now is not the time, nor the place to let it get me down.'''
Newton said offensive coordinator Mike Shula and quarterbacks coach Ken Dorsey have helped him work through that.
''They've been doing an unbelievable job with being that gnat in my ear, saying, `Cam, forget about it. Go to the next play,''' Newton said. ''And that's a good thing.''
Center Ryan Kalil agrees, adding that Newton's attitude has been a distraction at times.
''In the past he's worn it on his sleeve, which is fine,'' Kalil said. ''I think the criticism for him though is you have to clear it and go. You can't wear it very long.
''It concerns guys that it brings him down a little bit. Emotionally it's a tough game because you would like to win every game. There are ups and downs and you have to be able to reset and move on. ... You have to be able to restart the engine and get the energy back and get excited about what's ahead.''
Newton called Shula a ''perfect fit'' for him as his offensive coordinator and called him a father figure. Shula has a calm demeanor that seems to mesh with Newton's highly competitive, intense nature.
''He hates losing. We all know that,'' Shula said. ''Probably the biggest thing with Cam is maintaining that balance. Because everything around you during the football season is going to be up and down. The more you can continue to stay on an even plane and lead the group of guys around you, the more effective you are going to be as a quarterback.''
Said Newton: ''When coach Shula says, `C'mon Cam, let it go,' it automatically clicks now.
''Even though I want to say, `Coach, I can get that throw, Let's run that play again,' I realize now that may not be the smartest thing to do. He's taught me is you have to move on, because that next play can be the difference in the game.''
Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman recently said Newton - and the Panthers - need to start winning more games, but believes he's the player Carolina can build a franchise around.
''That's big, big, big shoes right there,'' said Newton, who is under contract for three more seasons - four if the Panthers use the franchise tag on him.
''But I don't want to look down the road when you are talking franchise. I'm focused in the now and trying to make the most of each and every day. I think that can be very dangerous as a player when you look at what can happen instead of what is happening.''
Newton said his goal is to help the Panthers reach the playoffs in back-to-back seasons and become a consistent playoff contender. He believes this year's team has the talent to reach the postseason after going 6-10 in 2012 and 7-9 last year.
But he also knows a lot will depend on how he responds to adversity.
''It can be a curse and a gift, but it's made me who I am,'' Newton said of his competitive drive. ''I feel like if all of the criticism that I've received wouldn't have happened, I wouldn't be the person I am now.''

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia hopes that its peacekeeping force can be stationed in Lebanon for another three months, said Armed Forces chief Jen Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Zainal.
He said the Defence Ministry was working on extending the tenure of the 360 Malaysian soldiers serving under the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (Unifil) to nine months instead of the present six months.
"We are working on that," said Jen Abdul Aziz, who returned recently from Lebanon after visiting the Malaysian soldiers deployed in Kaukoba.
He also said he hoped that Malaysia would be allowed to continue sending troops in batches to keep peace in Lebanon for at least three years.
He was speaking at a press conference after Defence Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak delivered a speech at the International Military Operations and Law Conference.
The Deputy Prime Minister, who was also at the press conference, said the extension was up to the United Nations.
"We are guided by the UN. We wanted to send a mechanised battalion but we were kept at 360 soldiers," he said.
Last July, Lebanon's Hezbollah fighters kidnapped two Israeli soldiers, resulting in Israel launching an attack on the country that lasted for 34 days.
After the ceasefire, the United Nations deployed a peacekeeping force from a number of countries, including Malaysia.
Earlier in his speech, Najib said Malaysia still had some reservations about the Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI), especially the legal aspects, which "we feel do not conform with accepted international norms."
Nevertheless, he said, Malaysia was certainly concerned over the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and their components.
He added that Malaysia supported the ideals of the PSI and had been participating as an observer for the past two years.
The PSI is an informal arrangement among countries to cooperate to intercept and disrupt the illicit export of WMD and components.

The latest diplomatic playground for DoD: Social media
Tuesday - 9/21/2010, 4:00am EDT
The war of public opinion has invaded social media, and the Defense Department and other civilian agencies are coming out guns blazing.
Linton Wells, with the National Defense University, tells Government Computer News that Facebook and Twitter are critical for supporting population-centric strategies.
"If you can't communicate, collaborate, transmit, engage with the local population you're trying to influence, you cannot achieve the social, political and operational goals for which the military blood and treasure was committed."
Wells says using social media as a tool for local outreach will help the military reach its goals.
However, "social media is not just a one-way street," Wells said.
He cited the recent political unrest in Iran of an example of authoritarian regimes studying Facebook pages and YouTube videos to monitor anti-government protesters in and outside of the country.
But Wells says despite some of the risks, social media is a strategy that must be utilized.
"Even if we feel uncomfortable with it, even if we are concerned that there are security risks in using it, the other side is going to be using it. This is something the U.S. government is going to have to deal with, and so the question is how can you deal with it responsibly, recognizing that there are risks."

text: Absolutely nothing went as I had planned and hoped. I started having regular contractions at 3 in the afternoon on Monday and my water broke at 2:30 in the morning. The midwife came and even though the contractions were very painful I was so happy the show was finally on the road. But even though I had strong, regular contractions and horrific back labor, I didn't seem to be progressing. 23 hours after my water broke I was still only dilated to a 6-7, where I had been for at least 15 hours. I was completely exhausted and in so much pain, and by the time we reached 24 hours past when my water broke we knew we needed to get to the hospital. I ended up getting an emergency c section and my son was born at 5:05 am on the 20th. He was 8 lbs 9 oz! No wonder i couldn't deliver him! He had fluid in his lungs and was at high risk for infection due to how long my water had been broken. I saw him for half a minute and then didn't get to see him again for a few hours. He also had issues latching because of being badly tongue tied, but the finally fixed it in the afternoon. He doesn't get to be with me right now because he aspirated meconium and has elevated breathing, but the nursery is right next to my room. I really hope he is well enough by tomorrow to go home with me. He's been through a lit in the last 24 hours but I'm so proud of him and happy to be his mom. DH and I are completely in love.

Letters To The Editor Summer 2004
Full Circle
I was very happy to see Osamu Tezuka's drawing of the Buddha on your [Spring 2004] cover, because watching his Astro Boy on TV when I was seven awakened in me an interest in Japan, then Asia, then Buddhism. So it seemed to come full circle for me.
—Paul A. Johnson, E-mail
Moving Target
I found Michael Soulé's response to his critics, which was printed in your Spring 2004 issue, rather lacking. Mr. Soulé's argument in defense of hunting amounted to no more than simple apologetics. He is, of course, correct when he points out that our civilization harms many life forms and damages the environment. He is also correct to point out that our agricultural practices threaten the lives of many animal species. But to use these facts to justify the violence and cruelty of hunting is not reasonable. It seems to me that the most compassionate and humane response to our destructive practices is not to kill animals but to find ways in which to live in greater harmony with the natural world. I am fairly certain that the Buddha's response to our environmental and agricultural practices would not be to pick up a high-powered rifle, run into the woods, and shoot the first mammal that went running by. There is no doubt that as a species and as individuals we do many things that indirectly harm others and the environment. Even if we were all pacifists, this would perhaps always be true to a certain degree. But dowe not simply compound our negative impact if we use this fact to condone violence? Even the greatest pacifists, like Gandhi, would acknowledge that we can never be truly harmless. But to justify violence with this is sophistry rather than Buddhism.
—Kirby Evans, Manotick, Ontario
Follow the Yellow Springs Road
The author of "Zen Cowboys: Teacherless Sanghas in Middle America" [Spring 2004] seems to suggest that the issue of choosing a teacher for a dharma center may only be a problem in the Midwest, but this is an important concern for dharma centers everywhere. Furthermore, the author gave the impression that all the members of the Yellow Springs Dharma Center, in Ohio, practice Zen; however, the center (of which we are members) is actually composed of practitioners from Vipassana and Vajrayana, as well as Zen. Each of these three groups practices according to its respective tradition, and each determines which teachers it will follow. This rather unique organizational model emphasizes the mutual support and cooperation of all three of the practice groups at Yellow Springs. Since its founding, our center has advised sangha members to obtain instruction in meditation from experienced teachers, and we have sponsored residential retreats that were led by teachers from all three traditions. While the Zen group has chosen Daniel Terragno as a guiding teacher, the Vipassana and Vajrayana groups will continue to practice under the guidance of a variety of visiting teachers, as they have done in the past. As a matter of fact, at present we have two Burmese nuns living and teaching in the Theravada tradition at the center.
—Donna Denman and Robert Pryor, E-mail
The White Ghetto
As a white woman involved in diversity issues in predominantly white Buddhist sanghas, I want to contribute to the discussion taking place in "Letters to the Editor" in the Spring 2004 issue, in response to Clark Strand's Winter 2003 article on Soka Gakkai. To make sanghas more inclusive, we need to ask why many American people of color (including some Asian Americans) who are already interested in Buddhism do not feel comfortable in mostly white sanghas; in northern California, where I live, some Buddhists of color have even formed their own sanghas. We still have a long way to go in this country in terms of true racial equality and harmony. Being a practitioner or even a teacher of Buddhism does not necessarily free us from deep-seated racial conditioning or from our ignorance of white privilege. It can be difficult for white people to realize that being well-intentioned is not enough in terms of race relations. We have to investigate our racial assumptions, acknowledge our privilege, and recognize the exclusiveness of dominant white culture. Case in point: In Paul Volker's letter to the editor, he implied that recruiting African Americans to Buddhism would be done in the "inner city"—often a code phrase for "ghetto." Imagine how a middle-class African American might feel about this implication. This is not to single out Mr. Volker, however; many white people unconsciously make the same assumption. This is exactly why, as white Buddhists, we need to "unlearn" our racial conditioning before people of color will feel comfortable in white sanghas.

Study Summary
Chicago-based startup eppraisals.com sought to deploy a new business model
utilizing the web to offer art and antiques appraisal services to the
general public through a network of experts scattered across the country.
An enjoyable, yet efficient site was critical in creating a community
of art lovers and appraisal professionals. Eppraisals.com engaged Chicago-based
Digital Business Services Provider (DBSP) Lante Corporation (Lante) to
build their site because of Lante's competencies and willingness to meet
incredibly tight deadlines.
Leslie Hindman, a 20-year veteran of the art world, founded Eppraisals.com
shortly after she sold her own Chicago bricks and mortar auction house
to Sotheby's. Throughout her career Hindman had received thousands of
letters from people requesting information about their items. She realized
the web would be the perfect medium to provide quick, efficient and thorough
information and value for people around the world. Besides having a lengthy
career, Leslie Hindman is a well-known and public figure in the art world,
with two top-rated television shows covering art and antiques on the Home
and Garden network (HGTV), and a weekly column for the Chicago Tribune
family of newspapers. She is also publishing a book this fall on buying
and selling at auction. Her high profile and experience in the industry
assisted her in early 1999 to raise several million dollars from contacts
in the industry, to subsequently hire key personnel, and launch the business.
eppraisals.com site is composed of three distinct parts: a consumer side
where customers upload images and other data for evaluation; a second
site for the 700 plus members of a geographically dispersed network of
nationally recognized experts who view and evaluate the items, and a third
site for administrative purposes including quality assurance.
a "first mover," eppraisals.com wanted to establish and maintain a dominant
position within the industry as quickly as possible. CIO Henry King faced
the daunting task of getting a sophisticated e-commerce website up and
running within a four month period. The challenge of selecting a DBSP
who not only had the necessary capabilities, but also was willing to commit
to eppraisals.com's aggressive schedule, was a priority. As a "first mover,"
eppraisals.com wanted to establish and maintain a dominant position within
the industry as quickly as possible. CIO Henry King faced the daunting
task of getting a sophisticated e-commerce website up and running within
a four month period. The challenge of selecting a DBSP who not only had
the necessary capabilities, but also was willing to commit to eppraisals.com's
aggressive schedule, was a priority.
King made a conscious decision not to approach the larger consulting firms,
and instead created a short list of companies that specialize in internet-based
development, including Organic, Razorfish, Sapient and Lante. King felt
that these companies were more likely to understand the needs of a dotcom
startup, would be more flexible and nimble, and would have a more complete
range of the appropriate skill sets to meet the requirements of a web
design and development project. Knowing that the development process would
be highly dynamic, King also felt face-to-face interaction was critical.
Corporation was selected largely because of its core capabilities and
focus on speed, but other factors were included. For example, the company
strictly adhered to the RFP from Hindman and King, unlike another vendor
on the short list who tried to sell them an entire digital strategy and
whose arrogant attitude was a major reason for being rejected. Lante was
also able to work well with Wolff-Olins, a U.K.-based firm that eppraisals.com
had retained to develop its branding and visual design strategy. Lastly,
like eppraisals.com, Lante is located in Chicago.
the Engagement Process
Lante's challenge was to design and build the three websites (i.e. collector,
expert and administrative), the back-end database of customers, and methods
to access information, authenticate data, create a means for the community
of experts to interact, and manage the distribution of work to them. Lante
also provided a personalization capability to the site for users to keep
a portfolio of their items. Furthermore, Lante's solution also handled
scalability issues related to data management and other elements of the
technical architecture. Essentially, Lante did the full systems design
and lifecycle development process for the web-based B2C and B2B business.
eppraisals.com team realized there were many different opportunities for
business development. However, rather than get distracted by the multiple
opportunities, the team focused on key requirements, ensuring that the
project was manageable and the result effective within the time and budget.
This clear view was critical for both the service provider and the client
in order to successfully execute the project.
Services and Value of Solution Delivered
Speedy deployment of a quality website was eppraisals.com's highest order
requirement. By the time the work was to begin, three vacation periods
loomed - Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the 2000 celebrations. However,
Lante held to its promise and met the demanding schedule, which impressed
Hindman and her entire staff.
other positive aspects of the engagement with Lante, Mr. King said that
Lante was extremely easy to work with. Issues arose, as in any significant
or complex project. One involved some dissatisfaction on the part of eppraisals.com
with the implementation of the website visual design - they felt that
it could have been better. The root cause of this was that top-end design
personnel were not on the team. However, the overall implementation was
good and viewed as successful. To date, the site has not experienced any
will work with Lante again on the second and larger phase of the project.
Lante listened to their concerns, and Lante's customer-centric approach
won them the work. For this second phase, designers absent from the first
phase will join the same team that created the initial website, along
with other, more senior, personnel. This meant continuity of the development
team, an important issue as the business model learning curve was largely
behind them. King is confident that Lante can fulfill its second engagement
will continue its relationship with Lante for the foreseeable future although
it is building up its internal team of expertise to maintain and eventually
develop the website and backend solutions. They anticipate adding four
new web developers to their current staff of four (2 Development/ 2 Content).
Eppraisals.com currently has 45 employees and is growing rapidly.
the presence of an IT department, the changing world of the Internet will
always create opportunities for service providers to supply specialized
skills and continue their relationships with their clients.
of Terms:
Digital Business Service Provider.
A Service provider who assists clients in building new businesses and
adding capabilities to existing businesses in the digital medium.

What problem did it address, where?
Decentralization of responsibilities for providing services from central government to local levels of government is often promoted to improve the delivery of rural services. While the scope of services being allocated to local governments has expanded, many rural towns and villages lack the revenues needed for them to fulfill their new responsibilities. The limited revenues available to rural local governments have helped to reinforce the growing inequality between rural and urban areas in many countries.
Increasingly, land tenure institutions are being called upon to support the decentralization of services to local governments. Revenues can be increased through the use of local property taxes. While such taxes are applied to agricultural lands and buildings, they are also applied to commercial, industrial and residential properties located in rural areas. The inclusion of rural property for tax purposes in developing countries should be seen as an important policy directive to make the property tax base as extensive as possible. Such a broadening of the tax base creates one of the few stable revenue sources available to rural local governments.
To assist rural local governments in Central and Eastern Europe to increase their revenues, FAO prepared guidelines on the design and implementation of rural property taxation systems. The response to theat guide showed the need for information on rural property tax systems to be more easily available for other reghions, and the guide was redrafted for a global audience and placed more explicitly in the context of decentralization. In Namibia, FAO provided technical assistance for the implementation of a land tax on commercial farmland; the revenues from the tax are to be used to promote rural development. FAO is providing technical assistance through the Cooperative Programme with the World Bank in Thailand, the Philippines, Cambodia, Lao People's Democratic Republic, and China.

Poems by John Wilmot. This PoetrySoup page contains a list of poems and links to John Wilmot poetry. Comment of this poet below.
John Wilmot, 2nd Earl of Rochester (1 April 1647 – 26 July 1680), was an English poet and courtier of King Charles II 's Restoration court. The Restoration reacted against the "spiritual authoritarianism" of the Puritan era. Rochester was the embodiment of the new era, and he is as well known for his rakish lifestyle as his poetry, although the two were often interlinked. In 1669 he committed treason by boxing the ears of Thomas Killigrew in sight of the monarch, and in 1673 he accidentally delivered an insulting diatribe to the King. A. C. Grayling wrote, "It is quite something to live in an age of riotous immorality, and yet to be accounted the most dissolute individual of the time." He died at the age of 33 from venereal disease .

Alas, my love, you do me wrong
Player Piano Rolls
maddog finds out that copyright prevents preserving paper player piano rolls.
Some people know that I collect automated musical instruments: player pianos, player organs, nickelodeons, and other mechanisms that use a roll of paper to control the playing of the instrument. This was a natural outcome of my fascination of controlling a piece of hardware with "logic" and "software" and my love of music. I have even developed a talk about how free software is like a player piano, and have given this talk several times, complete with illustrations and music played from my piano collection.
Many years ago, I joined the Automatic Musical Instrument Collector's Association (AMICA) [1], and I receive their publications. This month's edition talked about how Yamaha is using Linux in their automated grand pianos to control the automation. These Yamaha Disklavier Mark IV pianos provide an amazing array of features and the ability to download music software updates from the Internet [2].
Pogue's article reminded me of the Marshall & Ogletree Opus 1 organ installed at Trinity Church in New York City. Designed to replace Trinity's real pipe organ, which was destroyed during the World Trade Center attack on September 11, 2001, the Opus 1 uses 10 Linux PCs to drive 74 channels of sound with between 150 and 500 watts of power for each channel. It even has a "hot stand-by" PC to take over in case the hardware fails on any of the 10 PCs. On their website, the Opus 1 designers say that a certain popular desktop operating system was too unstable for anything as important as an organ recital, which is why they chose Linux. Of course, this instrument is also connected to the Internet and can download new voices or be monitored during an organ concert. You can read more about the instrument and its capabilities online [3].
Last month was the first time, however, that I got to attend a local chapter of the AMICA. In a lot of cases, one of the downsides of collecting the older paper-driven instruments is that the paper, which is sometimes made with an acid-based wash, is falling apart, and some of the members are trying desperately to preserve this old music by copying the rolls or by capturing the information into MIDI files or MPEG-3 files. These people then put these files – songs recorded on rolls by companies that have long gone out of business – up on the Internet for others to share. I decided I had a lot of songs in my collection that I could put on the Internet for people to hear the sound of my instruments playing. As a free software person and a follower of the issues around copyright, I would use a melody that was long out of copyright, such as "Greensleeves." But something in the back of my mind began to nag me, so I contacted a company that still manufactures player piano rolls and asked to talk to their legal department.
I explained to the man who answered the phone what I wanted to do and that I could be sure to use a song that was an ancient melody that had to be out of copyright by now, and I only wanted to do a few songs, perhaps "Greensleeves" and a ragtime melody that used a mechanism in my piano called the "mandolin." The man replied that Greensleeves was out of copyright, but that the artist's rendition of my Greensleeves roll might not be. He said that the rendition of Greensleeves had been put onto a roll of paper, and that too included a copyright, so other player piano roll manufacturers would not just buy the roll, copy it, and sell it to other player piano owners.
Then the man mentioned the "Phonorecord" copyright act, which to me has always been as clear as mud and also made this issue of rescuing an ancient song cut into rapidly decomposing paper even foggier.
We ended up agreeing that if I made an MP3 recording of less than 30 seconds off an old roll from a company that was completely out of business, kept it completely for my own use and locked up so no one else could hear it, that I probably would not be sued. I thanked him for his time.
Of course, now I have stopped singing "Greensleeves," even when alone in the shower.

Serendipia Costa Rica Home

Casa Serendipia
This house would be our top choice next time we stay in the area.
The property was fantastic !
We had a problem with an A/C leak and both Howard (long distance) and our house concierge, Alex, responded immediately and fixed the problem.
Prior to arrival, Alex planned wonderful activities for us. My husband and I took our 18 & 19 year old boys to Dominical for an adventure & we had one every day! Surfing and class 4 rafting on the Cotobrus River with Dominical Surf Adventures, ATV with Karl @ Diamante and horse back riding to the Nauyaca waterfalls.
Loved coming back everyday to the villa to sit by the infinity pool and watch the brilliant sunsets. The property is beautifully landscaped - filled with butterflies and birds!
From the Owner
"We discovered Costa Rica's Southern Pacific coast years back and fell in love with the Country, the people, the food and especially their 'Pura Vida' approach to life. After searching for the perfect location and home we found Dominicalito and the Las Olas development."
Activity and Interests
Playa Dominical located in the Southern zone of Costa Rica has been recognized to be the most Bio-Diverse and beautiful place on the planet. One of the largest unspoiled primary rain forests in Central America. Dramatic coastlines combined with abundant aquatic life, scenic cascading rivers and waterfalls, the highest mountain peak in Central America, its no secret that this is the 'hottest Spot' in Costa Rica.
National Geographic called Corcovado National Park the most 'biologically intense place on the planet'

Who has had an impact on your life? Oftentimes people come into our lives and at the time it seems insignificant, just another day, just another person. But when we look back there are those special people that made a world of difference… and in some instances they didn't even know how they contributed to our lives. And if we are fortunate we get the opportunity to tell them how much they mean to us. Dr. Maya Angelou and Alice Pavlisin were two of those people.
I once heard Angelou speak these words…
When someone shows you who they are… BELIEVE them!
These words profoundly changed my life. I, like so many, would take what others said and did… and spin my own story, assuming what they are feeling, meaning and thinking. Angelou showed me how to push away my storytelling and really see the person's actions. Not to judge them but to BELIEVE them.
Another one of those special people in my life was Alice Pavlisin, my grade school art teacher. She made this young girl feel special, encouraged me to dream and nurtured my creativity. I am an extremely creative person today because Alice Pavlisin touched my soul. I know she was proud of the things that I have accomplished, my three creatively designed books and even this blog. How do I know? Because I've been in contact with her these past 15 years, and she told me so.
Alice Pavlisin passed away the same week Dr. Maya Angelou passed. How serendipitous… Alice would have loved it! Two great teachers… they will be missed.
Whose life will you touch… a client, a colleague, a friend or even a stranger? Be the powerful person that you were put here to be and there will be many lives you impact, just like Alice and Maya.
