"It's not a surprise that our current, universally acknowledged practice of industrial farming isn't the best for our world. Currently, there are 1 billion people in the world today who are hungry, with another billion over eating unhealthy foods." - Christensen Fund
Lack of food for people in poor or rural areas. Overproduction of corn and its contribution to waste and poorer food quality. Environmental harms caused by industrial farming that wreak havoc on our soil and water sources. It is clear that we need to start looking for a more holistic and sustainable approach to feed our world without destroying it.
Agroecology looks to minimize the damaging effects of industrial farming by working within the natural ecosystem
With the way things are currently, our industrial system contributes to one-third of global greenhouse emissions, and is a tremendous user and polluter of our world's water resources. Agroecology looks to minimize the damaging effects of industrial farming by working within the natural ecosystem to create more diverse food systems that are more resilient in the face of climate change, and improves a farmers' ability of respond to it. It isn't based upon one farming technique over another, or does it unanimously oppose the use of technology. Instead, it assess how, when, and if technology can be used in conjunction with natural, social and human assets.
It looks past mass production, and a "one way fits all approach" to modern farming. It looks at what's right to do for a space within its given context. This site specific approach of studying agroecosystem's recognizes that there is no formula or recipe for the success and maximum well-being of an agroecosystem.
This process looks to involve people on a local level. People in local communities will be apart of the growing process from seed to mouth, which can reduce rural poverty, strengthen local economy, and support women. Agroecology preserves soil and water through terracing, contour farming, and agroforestry. It reintegrates livestock, crops, pollinators, fish, trees, and water for integrated nutrient and pest management; the whole system embraces complex forms of land stewardship from soil to the sky, to better care for the environment and our world.

Faux Cubano Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
Ok, so in this case, maybe it's not right to call this one a grilled cheese. It's probably closer to an actual Cubano sandwich than it is to a plain old grilled cheese. But somehow "Cubano Minus a Few Things" doesn't sound quite as appealing to me as "Faux Cubano Grilled Cheese." More

When emergency personnel arrived, the vehicle's engine compartment and the driver's compartment were on fire.

The trailer for Dark Dungeons, the new movie based on Jack Chick's legendary 1984 tract about the dangers of Dungeons & Dragons is finally here! Oh the comedy! Can't wait to watch the flick which comes out in August, a perfect summer comedy.
Innocent students Debbie and Marcie arrive at college eager to save souls, but will they be able to save their own when they're seduced by the exotic and sinister world of role playing games?
Oh the terrors of D&D (actually my ex-husband was one of the stars of the first D&D movie so I must be one of Satan's minions, whatever)! Jack Chick, who is 90 years old (born in 1924 in Boyle Heights, L.A.'s real Eastside, over the river), wrote the tracts himself based on his fundie evangelical (hatey) beliefs, and they were illustrated by Fred Carter whose flat style is instantly recognizable. Chick's tracts appeared in the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History as part of an exhibition on American pop culture. Chick struck upon the idea of using comics to convert after learning the Chinese Communist Party had done so in the 1950s.
He's nuts. Along with blaming Roman Catholicism for much of the world problems:
[H]e believes strongly that homosexuality is sinful, and makes reference to the Biblical story of Sodom and Gomorrah in tracts pertaining to homosexuality. He also is a Zionist, and claims that the Catholic Church is Israel's worst enemy. He also opposes attempts to resolve the Israeli–Arab conflict until Israel gets significantly larger than its current size, and also blames American support of those attempts for natural disasters that have struck.
A friend told me his mom used to pass out Chick comic books at Halloween instead of candy. This is seriously worse than raisins or toothbrushes. But even (many of) his fellow Christians realize he's bonkers.
Christianity Today described Jack Chick as an example of
the world of ordinary, nonlearned evangelicals," for whom "atavistic anti-Catholicism remains as colorful and unmistakable as ever.
Meanwhile, the wife of comic Patton Oswalt would rather have her husband go to strip clubs than play D&D. What would Jack Chick say about that!

If you want to see rippling abs when you look in the mirror, you have to do two things: melt fat and train your core. Most people take this to mean "do some form of cardio and follow it with an abs circuit"—but that's a big fat waste of time.
The rotational mountain climber jams cardio and abs together in one flab-torching, heart-rate-rocketing six-pack sculpter. "Using nontraditional cardio exercises like this one are the key to really challenge your body and get your metabolism up," says weight loss expert Rachel Cosgrove, creator of the all-new Spartacus 5.0 workout [4]. "The rotational component puts an extra demand on your core."
Best of all, you can do them anywhere—no weights required.
Ready to set your abs and lungs on fire? Watch the video below to see how to do rotational mountain climbers.
One word of caution: As you get tired, your hips will start to rise up into the air. Fight against it. (Doing these in front of a mirror helps.) "The entire set of this exercise, keep your hips down, in line with your back and shoulders," Cosgrove says.

A Bowling Green woman was arrested in Glasgow Monday night on charges of possession of marijuana, possession of an open alcoholic beverage container in a motor vehicle, operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol/drugs/etc., first offense, endangering the welfare of a minor, disregarding a stop sign and failure to produce an insurance card. Fifty-year-old Charlotte B. Curtis was arrested after Sgt. Morgan of the Glasgow Police Department observed Curtis disregard a stop sign at the intersection of the Glasgow public square at South Green Street. Curtis abruptly stopped at Save A Lot and went inside. Upon contact with Curtis inside the store, Sgt. Morgan advised that Curtis was very nervous and extremely jittery, had slurred speech and was very unsteady on her feet. Officer Burton arrived on the scene and initiated field sobriety tests, which Curtis failed. Curtis advised that she had taken hydrocodone during the day, smoked marijuana and had been drinking. A young male juvenile was also in the vehicle with Curtis when stopped. A marijuana cigarette was found inside the Curtis vehicle on the driver's seat. Curtis could also not produce a valid insurance card. She was lodged in the Barren County Correctional Center.

In Publisher 2010 Essential Training, author David Rivers demonstrates how to create professional publications, such as brochures, newsletters, and menus. Using real-world examples, the course includes an overview of the different types of publications available in Publisher, shows how to use Publisher's tools for modifying text, objects, and tables, and explains how to customize layout and design options. Tutorials on performing mail merges and preparing publications for the web and for print are also included. Exercise files accompany the course.
If you think you're going to be working with publications in other languages, you'll be happy to know there are some translation tools available to you here in Publisher 2010. We're going to take a look at that now, using our Flyer9 publication. We're going to focus on the right-hand side of the page here. We're zoomed in to 150%, so we can read what we're working with. Let's say, for example, we want to make a French version of this flyer, or we want to have a French version right on the same page, so English and French. Well, in that case we have to select the text that we want to translate.
Let's go to this first description here, under Mandarin-infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil. I'll just simply click and drag over the content that we want to translate. Now, when we go to the Review tab on the Ribbon we have a couple of options. We can go directly to Translate Selected Text. That's the same as clicking the Research pane and then selecting that Research tool. So it's just a little bit of a shortcut. We'll click Translate Selected Text. It automatically opens our Research pane, and you're going to see your default translation languages show up.
Mine is set to English and French. You may see English to English. You just click the dropdown to choose from a wide range of different languages, including French. When you do that, you need to be connected to the Internet. I am just going to use some online services like WorldLingo. Here you can see that you direct translation in French. So if you wanted to use that, just click and drag over that. Use your keyboard shortcut to copy that, Ctrl+C. If you wanted to, just click after "each" in this case, leave a couple of spaces, and paste using Ctrl+V. Now you've got your French version in there.
You might want to just bring that down to the next line, even leave an extra space if you needed to, and you're ready to move on to the next one. If this is going to be used in a business environment, it's probably advisable that you would double-check on the translations to make sure they're accurate using a real translation service. But this is a nice little feature that will allow you to select content in your publication, and translate it to a wide variety of different languages.

This song has some history for me. Me and my brother did an audition back in the 70's for a guy that owned the rights for the Classics Four, a band from the 60's that had a few hits. He was trying to put a new Classics Four band together to go on the road. We got the gig but he put way to many demands on us so we passed on the deal. Six months later we heard them advertised on the radio goin on tour and we were pretty bummed, but hey thats how it goes, it is still a great memory, we were on cloud nine on the way home from his house. Anyhow, this was one of his favorite songs and I did it for the audition. We also did Ebony And Ivory at the piano and my brother Sput blew him away with a Beatles tune. Gotta love good memories.

Style: Aiki, I-Chuan--
Guys, please. Stop clowning for a second. I need the truth!!! Will just one person just tell me the truth!? The last I actually saw Seagal, he was in a cop uniform, all clean cut and all, chasing bad guys in the hood. Yuh gotta give the guy kudos for that, come on. But now, the way you see him on interviews, even the way he looks in the pic right above here...he morphed his look again to stay cool. Im trying to figure out what that look is. Its definitely a mix between Tupac Shakur and an outlaw biker. Ok, so Steven now changed his whole image to looking like a bad ass biker and a gang banger thrown into a blender together. But somebody, anybody,anywhere........tell me.....................why did they throw him off the police force!!!! What happened to the man in blue we all know and love?

Prize for Peace
The 2005 Nobel Prize for Peace was shared by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and its director general, Mohamed ElBaradei. The announcement, made on October 7, noted, "At a time when the threat of nuclear arms is again increasing, the Norwegian Nobel Committee wishes to underline that this threat must be met through the broadest possible international cooperation. This principle finds its clearest expression today in the work of the IAEA and its director general." The award was made 60 years after the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, by the U.S. during World War II, the fourth time a major anniversary of the bombings had been marked with the peace prize. It was the 12th prize for the United Nations or an affiliated agency.
The IAEA, an intergovernmental organization headquartered in Vienna and linked to the UN, was established in 1957. It grew out of recommendations made by U.S. Pres. Dwight D. Eisenhower in a 1953 speech, "Atoms for Peace," before the UN. The agency promoted peaceful applications of atomic energy and also worked to prevent its use for military purposes. It gradually came to take an active role in attempts to prevent nuclear proliferation, with efforts first centred on Iraq and The Sudan, in which cases the agency claimed success, and later on North Korea and Iran. The committee remarked, "At a time when disarmament efforts appear deadlocked, when there is a danger that nuclear arms will spread both to states and to terrorist groups, and when nuclear power again appears to be playing an increasingly significant role, IAEA's work is of incalculable importance."
Mohamed ElBaradei was born in Cairo on June 17, 1942. His father, a lawyer, was president of the Egyptian Bar Association. The son received a bachelor's degree in law from the University of Cairo in 1962 and a doctorate in international law from New York University in 1974. During the 1960s he was a member of the Egyptian diplomatic corps, twice serving on missions to the UN in New York City and in Geneva. From 1974 to 1978 ElBaradei was assistant to Egypt's foreign minister. In 1981 he became a senior fellow in charge of the International Law Program at the UN Institute for Training and Research, and he was an adjunct professor in international law (1981–87) at New York University. ElBaradei became a member of the IAEA secretariat in 1984, working as counsel and, beginning in 1993, as assistant director general for external relations. Appointed director general of the agency in 1997, he was reappointed to a second term in 2001 and, despite opposition from the U.S., to a third term in 2005.
Although ElBaradei sometimes took a tough stance toward uncooperative governments, he was also known as an advocate of patient diplomacy. In 2002 he challenged U.S. claims, correctly as it turned out, that Iraqi Pres. Saddam Hussein had restarted a nuclear program, and he resisted U.S. efforts to impose sanctions on Iran. In response to the announcement that he had been given the award, he said, "The prize recognizes the role of multilateralism in resolving all of the challenges we are facing today. It will strengthen my resolve and that of my colleagues to continue to speak truth to power."

Get ready for the Brother Bowl.
It'll be Harbaugh vs. Harbaugh when Big Bro John's Baltimore Ravens (13-6) play Little Bro Jim's San Francisco 49ers (13-4-1) in the Super Bowl at New Orleans in two weeks.
As much chatter as there will be about the players involved - from Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis and his impending retirement to 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick's sudden emergence - the sibling angle will make this coaching matchup the most scrutinized in the nearly half-century of Super Sundays.
On Thanksgiving Day, 2011, the Harbaughs became the first brothers to coach against each other in any NFL game. Now they'll be squaring off in the biggest one of all.
The 49ers open as 5-point favorites.

Welcome to the Dirty Birch
Matchetts' little slice of the Wisconsin Northwoods
Another Chance...
Those damned elk got in my way again today (August 19,2010)! Lucky me!
We are in a spot check mode this week to make sure the moth flight is all but complete, rechecking intermittent traps for any additional moths before final take-down/count starts, which had me close to the same area I saw the elk last week. While these bulls cannot hold a candle to the big boys last week, they were still a treat to see...especially when you have "the equipment" in tow!
This group was two bulls and two cows. Bulls are still in full velvet. You'll notice the radio collars, which are use to study the herd by the WI DNR and the University of Wisconsin. One bull has a collar and one doesn't. Both cows are wearing a wire! I would love to have those frequencies to be able to find them at will...lol
Here are two of the pictures I took.
If you would like to see all the pictures I took you can click here -

Thanks for all the nice comments on the cell phone shots from last week. While these new photos are not exactly professional quality, they are much nicer than the shots from last week off the phone.

CLAREMONT, Calif. — Marianne Boruch, a Purdue University creative writing teacher, has won this year's $100,000 Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award, a California university announced.
Boruch was honored for her collection, "The Book of Hours."
"The award is presented for a work by a poet who is past the very beginning but has not yet reached the pinnacle of his or her career," a university statement said.
Boruch lives in West Lafayette, Ind., and teaches at Purdue and in the Program for Writers at Warren Wilson College in North Carolina. Her work has appeared in the New Yorker, Paris Review, the London Review of Books and other publications.
Heidy Steidlmayer of Vaca-ville, Calif., won the $10,000 Kate Tufts Discovery Award for her book "Fowling Piece." The award is given for a first book by a poet of "genuine promise," the university said.

Do Aunt Molly and Cousin Fred really represent the customer who will make your product or service successful?
By identifying and knowing your customers, you can assess their needs and consider if your business concept will meet those needs. Research will assist you to determine the customer group most likely to purchase and use your product or service. This group will become your target market. Your target market may be businesses or consumers. By identifying your target market, its demographics, and its buying and spending habits, you will be able to focus your marketing and advertising efforts more effectively.
In the preliminary stages of your market research, you may have multiple potential markets for your product or service. You will want to use a variety of methods to pinpoint the markets that are most likely to receive your business concept well. Creating a customer profile is one method of describing the individuals who make up your target market. A customer profile can provide a clear picture of the type of person or business you are planning to serve. This information helps to drive your marketing strategy, promotional design, and sales process.
Sometimes the customer who chooses your product or service is not the end-user-the person who uses it. For example, you might create a great board game for children. But children are not the ones who actually buy your game. The child is the User, but the Decision Maker is probably the child's parents. The Buyer may be the mother or the adult who picks the game up at the store. The Influencer is anyone who provides the Decision Maker and Buyer with information. In this example, the Influencer may be the child's teacher, another parent, a neighbor, or family friend. In this case, the child might also play the role of the Influencer as well. When you describe your customer, consider whom you will be marketing the product or service to and who will buy it.
When another business is the customer, you typically have multiple persons in these roles. In the chart, you can see the purchasing steps and different roles in selecting a proposal from a new marketing consultant.
Businesses can target other businesses or consumers. Your customer profile will vary depending on whether your customers are businesses or consumers. Entrepreneurs often refer to this distinction as B2B (business-to-business) or B2C (business-to-consumer) markets. While some products or services may only be marketable to other businesses or only to individuals, some may fit both categories. In that case, careful analysis can help you determine which market has the greatest potential.
Whether your business is B2B or B2C, you will want to look for demographic and psychographic information.
Demographics- Customers may be grouped by similar variables such as age, gender, occupation, education, or income levels, geographic location, industry, number of employees, number of years in business, products or services offered, or other defined criteria. Generally, the Census Bureau, government, or industry sources provide demographic information. Studies and trends are usually reported using predetermined variables from these sources.
Psychographics- Customers may also be grouped by similar psychographic variables such as values, beliefs, buying patterns, perceptions, and lifestyle choices such as recycling, fitness, travel, and hobby interests. Psychographic variables provide insights into how and why customers buy. Although this information is valuable to know, it is harder to collect and find because customers' preferences change over time and this type of information often must be collected directly from the source.
As part of your Marketing Plan, you will create an expanded profile of the potential customers who make up your target market. For example, a golf ball manufacturer who is trying to identify the type of golfer most likely to purchase its product will want to look at the characteristics of customers in the golf market. The golf ball manufacturer needs to know demographics on customers: where customers purchase their golf balls, how often they buy them, how much they pay, and their psychographic factors for buying golf balls, such as perceived value, desire for prestige, and price range.
You can collect demographic information about your intended customer from the Census Bureau and other secondary research sources that track consumer information. Psychographic information may require using surveys, interviews, and other forms of primary research to collect information specific to your intended customer.
When businesses are your customers (B2B), you will want to collect general market information about them. This type of demographic information can usually be obtained from the Department of Commerce, Small Business Administration (SBA), or industry experts. Psychographic information for businesses may be harder to locate as secondary research. B2B data may be collected from conducting informational interviews or reading about businesses you are interested in, contacting trade associations, industry experts, and others who are familiar with the industry or business group. You may find yourself doing industry profiles not only on your industry but also on your customer's industry if the two are not the same.
Marketing a product or service to a business has some major differences from marketing to individuals. In sales to businesses, you may have fewer, larger customers, which can increase your efficiency and profits as well as your risk. Energy Sentry products help conserve energy used by home appliances. Selling these products to individual consumers would be prohibitively expensive, so they developed a marketing strategy to work closely with local power companies. The devices were then sold in large batches; one rural power company bought 9,000 units for its customers.
Before deciding which customers are the best fit for your product or service, you will want to consider their distinctive aspects. For example, when marketing to businesses, does a proposal need to be submitted for each sale? Do these customers expect to negotiate prices and terms? Such considerations can affect the profitability of your business.

Formerly a walk-through back lot movie set, Streets of America is now a designated themed area that is home to four attractions. The street sets remain intact and serve as the primary pedestrian thoroughfare.
Also in Streets of America...
The Street of America building facades here use a cinematic trick known as forced perspective, and it's also used throughout Walt Disney world. Forced perspective is the design pattern that gives buildings the appearance of greater height and scale. It is why the castle looks so grand and Everest looks so tall. In the Backlot area, it allows the designers to fit in the New York or San Francisco skylines in such a small space.
Playing with scale is also a feature of the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids Movie Set Adventure. Realizing there wasn't enough to do for small children, the Imagineers worked in record time to design and fabricate the attraction. This type of stage area is an example of another cinematic trick used in Disney films.
Disney Dish with Jim Hill
A Galaxy Far, Far Away Gets a Little Closer
If all had gone the way the Imagineers intended, the Studios' new Star Wars land (planned for the vicinity of Streets of America and Mickey Avenue) would already be under construction. But Disney CEO Bob Iger was supposedly concerned that the screenplay for the next movie wasn't up to snuff, so he ordered a rewrite and pushed back the release of the film to the 2016 holiday season. As a direct result, the start of construction on DHS's new themed area got pushed back to 2015. But don't worry--it won't be long now till you can stroll down the streets of Tatooine and ride a Speeder Bike through the forests of Endor.

Anti-Africans Protest Hits Israeli Supreme Court
when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to prove him with hard questions—1 Kings 10:1
New in the Website
I didn't choose the worst texts. Those seemed taken from a Hebrew textbook on Nazism, and probably were. I skipped the "They rape our daughters" tirade.
These texts were not said by the wives of Goebbels and Hitler complaining about their kosher-eating neighbors, but by Jewish denizens of Tel Aviv at the Supreme Court in Jerusalem protesting against Africans. They don't protest against Romanian, Turkish or Thai foreign workers. The issue is their skin color.
Proving that the protesters' assessment that the Justices favor the Africans was not correct, they chose Christmas to deal with the petition against African refugees. Many of the latter are Christians.
None of the Justices was hurt. To balance the image in the best of American media tradition, let me remind that recently the Justices were publicly called corrupt by a senior member of Netanyahu's party, Moshe Feiglin, who run twice against the Prime Minister to lead the Likud Party (see Likud Leader: Israeli Courts Corrupted).
Israeli Violence, African Victims
After the Law for the Avoidance of Infiltrations was declared illegitimate and annulled a few months ago, the Holot detention center was opened. Illegal workers detained are now placed there and forced to appear three times during the day and to sleep in it. In protests, the innocent men jailed there started a walk towards Jerusalem which provided the image below. Shortly after they started their peaceful protest they were jailed, unlike those who attack African workers in Tel Aviv.
In The Red Lily, Anatole France wrote in 1894: "In its majestic equality the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread."
Instead of reviewing the events related to Israeli violence towards African workers in recent years, I attached to the image above links to my main articles on the topic. This is more effective due to the accumulative effect of their quantity.
The core issue is that Israel wants them since Israelis don't want to work in certain areas (gardening, food preparation, construction) and Palestinians are increasingly denied access to these jobs. African workers are cheaper than Thais, Nepalis, Filipinos, Romanians, and Turks brought to Israel through specialized agencies.
Thus, they are allowed to work as long as they are invisible. At the moment they want to send their children to a kindergarten or visit Tel Aviv's beaches on the weekend, they become undesirable.
"Come on, why are you quoting hysterical racist women and extrapolating to the entire society?" A few readers may be thinking along this line right now. Luckily, in September I took a snapshot of the most serious Israeli newspaper headline. It read "Made in the Land [Israel]: 'Africans as the Black Death.'" It is reproduced below.
Easy Question, Racist Answer
The subtitle of this article describes the African Queen of Sheba arriving at Jerusalem and asking Solomon hard questions.
Delicate Israeli hearts may consider her behavior disgraceful to the extent of justifying her being sent to jail.
PM Netanyahu, allow me to ask you a very easy question. I know the answer; yet, I will ask it. To avoid wasting your invaluable time, I will mention just two occurrences of the issue in the Mosaic Law; yet, many more are available. Did you ever heard the following?
Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. Exodus 22:21
Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he is thy brother: thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a stranger in his land. Deuteronomy 23:7

* Israel's Supreme Court of Justice usually operates as the highest appellate court in the country, but it features also a special operational mode as a court of first instance, called in Hebrew bagatz (acronym for High Court for Justice, not to be confounded with the formal name of the court: The High Court). In this instance, everybody under the jurisdiction of the Court can initiate a process against the State of Israel if he feels one of his rights has been legitimately oppressed by the State; this is the result of Israel lacking a Constitution and formal recognition of Human Rights.

"Having worked on special projects for CSA in the national office, I continue to be amazed at the dedication of the staff and officers that serve CSA's membership. They are living the motto of CSA, exhibiting the membership goal of 'Celiacs Helping Celiacs', and we often forget to acknowledge and thank them for their service to CSA."

Clearing up the Confusion over Shale
There are three types of energy deposits with very similar names that have recently become known to the public. While it is easy to confuse the three, they are all vastly different in their physical properties, their commercial value, and the methods required to extract them. One is a liquid, one is a gas, and the other is a solid.
The Liquid
Shale oil – Shale oil is real liquid crude oil trapped within tight, impervious rock formations. It differs from conventional crude oil only in that conventional crude is found in porous rock formation where it can easily flow to a well, and shale oil is found in non-porous rock and cannot flow unless the rock formations are exploded open by a process called hydraulic fracturing (fracking).
Shale oil is closely identified with a number of subsurface rock formations in place such as the Bakken/ Williston Basin in North Dakota, the Niobrara in NE Colorado/ SE Wyoming, and the Eagle Ford and Barnett shales in Texas.
Shale oil can be brought to the surface by using a drilling rig to drill down and then horizontally into the oil-bearing rocks. The horizontal segment is then fracked to break up the rock formation, permitting the once-trapped oil to flow. To keep wells producing, additional fracking may be required.
This process is economically feasible at today's oil prices and significant amounts of oil are being produced.
The Gas
Shale gas – Shale gas is the natural gas equivalent to shale oil. In shale gas deposits, natural gas is tightly held in minute quantities throughout large, dense rock formations. Unlike traditional natural gas, it is not in a porous formation that would permit it to flow to a nearby well. Hydraulic fracturing must be used to break up the gas-bearing rocks, permitting the gas to escape.
A number of shale gas formations are becoming household names. These include the Marcellus shale in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and other Appalachian states, the Fayetteville formation in Arkansas, the Haynesville formation in Texas and Louisiana, and the Barnett shale in the Dallas/ Fort Worth area of Texas, among others.
Shale gas is a commercially viable venture that is spreading to other areas of the world. It can be developed using vertical or horizontal drilling techniques, followed by hydraulic fracturing of the surrounding rock formations.
The Solid
Oil shale – Oil shale is the one resource of the three that has not proven to be commercially viable. Unlike the other two, oil shale is a solid, called kerogen, impregnated within a dense solid rock called marl. It is possible to liquefy kerogen through an energy-intensive heating or conversion process. Further upgrading and refining can turn liquified kerogen into synthetic petroleum.
If a drilling rig were to drill and frack oil shale deposits, as is done for shale oil, it would not produce and liquid fuel at all. It must either be mined from underground and heated on the surface, or heated underground and then pumped to the surface. So far, efforts to develop oil shale for use as a transportation fuel have not been commercially successful, and many attempts have ended in stunning failures.
The most famous oil shale deposits are a located in the Piceance/ Green River basin area that encompasses northwest Colorado, Southwest Wyoming, and northeastern Utah.
A number of companies are pursuing schemes to develop oil shale commercially using various cooking techniques ranging from underground electrical heaters, to underground fires, hot air pumped underground, supercritical carbon dioxide, microwaves, liquid metal nuclear reactors, and traditional above-ground ovens known as retorts. All of these are risky concepts for investors because they are incredibly capital intensive and none have proven successful on anything other than a very small scale. See our other oil shale pages for more information about oil shale.

"Dick Cheney watches television": The four previously unseen 9/11 photos that will make you hate the evil VP all over again
Topics: Super Bowl, Peyton Manning, Entertainment News
During this Sunday's Super Bowl, as close-ups of intense, sweat-streaked faces fill TV screens around the world, stirring music swells, and announcers intone about guts, glory and greatness, a few people may ask themselves: Is all this mythmaking justified, or is it just hot air? Is football more than a game?
Two of the best football movies ever made take very different routes to arrive at the same answer.
In the 1979 film "North Dallas Forty," there's a scene in which the team owner makes a locker room speech to the players before the championship game. The owner is a fatuous, self-aggrandizing jerk in a ten-gallon hat; his speech is arrogant and smarmy. After him the team chaplain steps up and delivers a dithering, near-ludicrous benediction. The unmoved players sit like cattle, waiting for it to stop. When the chaplain finishes, an enormous lineman stands up and hollers, "Let's go kill those cocksuckers!" The team explodes in yells and screams as it runs out onto the field.
The film's hero is a weary, beat-up, pain-pill-popping wide receiver named Phil Elliott (Nick Nolte). Elliott can barely walk; he takes a pain-killing injection in his knee before every game that allows him to play. One of his teammates injures his hamstring, but despite pressure from the team doctor and the coaches, he refuses to take a shot because he doesn't want to risk making the injury worse. But after watching Nolte take the shot before the championship game, he yields and takes the shot. At the end of the game he blows out his leg, possibly ending his career.
After the game — the team loses on a botched extra point — the owners summon Elliott to their corporate offices in Dallas. After ominously asking him where he was one night the previous week, they bring in the private investigator they hired, who took photos of Elliott smoking a joint at a party with the team's star quarterback (whom the investigator somehow fails to identify). The owners tell Elliott they're going to suspend him without pay for violating the league's morals clause. Elliott turns to his strict, pious coach "B.A." (whose character is obviously based on the late Dallas Cowboys coach Tom Landry) and asks him to stand up for him. B.A. mournfully says he can't, because Elliott wasn't a team player: "You have to give something back to the game." An incredulous Elliott responds that he can barely walk, that he's left pieces of himself all over America. Isn't that giving something back?
The coach shakes his head. "You hurt the team," he says.
"Oh, for chrissakes, B.A.," Elliott says, "we're not the team." Pointing to the venal executives on the other side of the big desk, he says, "They're the team."
B.A. tells Elliott that he had "the best hands in football," but he never learned that the game was more than that. Elliott shakes his head. "It is what I can do with these hands," he says. "That's why I play the game. I was good when I played. Because the only thing that's real in this game is me, and that's enough." He quits and walks out the door. The last shot of the movie is a freeze-frame of Elliott opening his arms, refusing to catch a final football thrown by his QB friend.
There's a very different locker room speech in Oliver Stone's 1999 film "Any Given Sunday." The team's gaunt, aging coach Tony D'Amato, played by Al Pacino, stands up to address his fractured, demoralized team before a playoff game. Wearily, he tells his players what they already know: that they're "in hell." They're in hell because they aren't a team, because they aren't playing together, because they don't care about each other, because they don't care. Slowly, without any bluster or exhortation, the coach tells them they're going to have to fight their way out of that hell an inch at a time. "I can't do it for you," he says. "I'm too old." It isn't just his body he's talking about, the players — and we — understand: It's his spirit. On the far shore of loss, speaking as if alone or in church, he tells his team he's made just about every mistake a middle-aged man could make — he's pissed away all his money, driven away everyone who loved him. The players begin to stir: You can feel something waking in the room, something unfurling above them. D'Amato tells them that those inches fill every yard on the field, every break in the game, and if they fight and claw for every one of them, they can climb their way out together.
A soft, powerful chorus of "yes" and "that's right" begins to be heard, the big men leaning forward, hardly seeming aware of the words coming out of their throats. Look at the man next to you, the coach says; you'll see someone who's willing to lay it all on the line for you. Something changes, opens, in the face of the brilliant young black quarterback, who replaced the aging white starter, won games, but tore the team apart with his selfishness and immaturity. He begins to edge closer to his coach, as if drawn to a light. "Either we heal as a team or we will die as individuals," the coach says. The team rises up as one with a great cry and takes the field. The inspired young quarterback leads his team to a last-second victory, hurling his body into the air and absorbing a crushing hit to score the winning touchdown.
To some degree, the different perspectives of these two films simply reflect their eras. "North Dallas Forty" is very much a product of its day. Made just four years after the end of the Vietnam War, Ted Kotcheff's film, based on former Dallas Cowboy Peter Gent's novel, oozes suspicion of authority and a countercultural celebration of nonconformity. (Ironically, the "maverick" Phil Elliott seems like a choirboy compared to today's NFL players.) Moreover, pro football was a different — and, for the players, much worse — game in those days: Real free agency didn't exist, meaning most players were stuck with their team for most or all of their careers; salaries were far lower, coaches more authoritarian, team doctors more unscrupulous. It's hard not to feel that anyone with a modicum of sensitivity, intelligence or just plain orneriness would have rebelled against the likes of Landry.
By contrast, "Any Given Sunday" was made in the current NFL era, when pro football players have far more control over their fate and make far more money. Their bosses — owners and coaches — have been forced to lighten up on the hard-line, company-man, Vince Lombardi style. Nor is there anything even remotely resembling a counterculture in America today, much less an appreciation of nonconformity. Trying to sell an audience in the new millennium a tale about poor, victimized NFL players — who risk serious injury and suffer short careers, true, but make much more money in two years than the average American worker makes in his or her lifetime — is a losing proposition.
But the difference between the two films goes deeper than the merely historical. Indeed, at first glance their visions of football — and of life — seem utterly incompatible. One exalts the team, the other the individual. One trumpets the power of sports to inspire, and of athletes to be inspired; the other has an evil eye for bullshit and sees "inspiration" as a Big Word we cling to out of sentimentality. One sees sports, and by extension life, as full of meaning; the other sees sports, and life, as meaningless. One speaks for Shakespeare's Prince Hal, the noble leader whose lofty words inspired his men to risk their lives; the other for Falstaff, the Everyman who runs away and likes ale and women and refuses to sacrifice himself for "a word." The dyads are endless: idealism and cynicism, Plato and Aristotle, Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, Stephen Dedalus and Leopold Bloom…
When you look closer, however, you realize that both films — and this is what makes them memorable — are really saying the same thing. Each of them has a message that's deep enough to also acknowledge the truth of its opposite — indeed, to acknowledge that without that opposite, its message would be superficial.
Yes, Stone's film is sentimental (or, if you prefer, idealistic); it posits a world where epiphanies strike like lightning and an open-field run in a football game is a sacred act. But it is also a surprisingly dark film, and its vision of glory is problematic.
The odd and moving thing about "Any Given Sunday" is the peculiar exhaustion of its hero. Pacino's character seems to be already on the far side of the grave: He does not hope to turn again. He has the deep satisfaction of the teacher, but that is a secondary joy. (D'Amato's start-anew announcement at the end that he is leaving to coach another team feels false, as though it had been added to provide a conventional Hollywood-happy ending.) "Any Given Sunday" is a film about triumph, but Coach D'Amato can only observe that triumph, not completely embrace it. And those who fully live it because they have earned the right to do so — the players — will never understand its meaning the way D'Amato does. D'Amato sums up this paradox of youth and age, achievement and glory, when he tells his team that you realize the things you've lost only when they're gone.
It's D'Amato's world-weariness, his disillusionment, that gives his locker room speech its heft. He doesn't speak of glory but of work. His speech, which recalls a 12-step confession, inspires the team to attempt deeds that, like Browning's heaven, are just beyond their grasp, but not too far: It evokes that moment just before the mask of greatness hardens, once memorably described in a Leonard Cohen song as a hero "turning into gold." And in the end, it reveals the paradox of glory: that the banners and blazoned days, the self-transformation, the famous victory, are real, but that they are only the vapor trail left by something more mundane. Life doesn't have a soundtrack. D'Amato's message is that the ideal is utterly and completely made out of the real — yet it is still always ahead of us. The secret of sports, like the secret of art, is that it allows us to put an artificial stop to an endless process. We erect monuments and elect Hall of Famers because without them we would despair of the tick-tock and the endless inches, but the tick-tock and the inches are our home.
If "Any Given Sunday" highlights the glory of sports but reveals its shadow, "North Dallas Forty" highlights the mundane but illuminates the transcendent. The film's profound pessimism contains a quiet affirmation. Nolte's Elliott, like Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe, is a man who clings to his own code of honor in a fallen world. (With its shambling, broken-down grace, Nolte's performance recalls Elliott Gould's in Robert Altman's great revisionist version of "The Long Goodbye.") For Nolte's Elliott, that code means breaking the whole world down to one thing: catching a football. He rejects abstract concepts and Big Words like "team" and "sacrifice" and "courage" and "maturity"; they ring hollow because they are mouthed by frauds and have nothing to do with what drives him.
But the fact is that Elliott is a team man, and he is courageous — he just rejects the words, as devalued. "North Dallas Forty" shows us the reality of an athlete's life without the pom-poms and marching band. But the more the film strips away the glory-conferring trappings, the clearer it becomes that Elliott, by remaining true to himself and pushing himself to his own limits, has earned them.
So — to paraphrase Freud — is a flat pass sometimes just a flat pass? Absolutely. In fact, athletes know better than anyone else that a flat pass should always just be a flat pass. The music does not swell, the lightning does not strike, Jerry Rice does not dream of his bust in Canton when he runs that out pattern for the 500th time in practice or runs up steep mountains in the offseason so hard and fast that teammates 10 years younger pull up and vomit. But he became the greatest wide receiver in history because he made the most of his talent by doing those things again and again. They are simple things, more measurable, and more physically painful, than the things that non-athletes do. That is the curse and blessing of being an athlete: Willpower can be focused on one goal. Get to the top of that mountain. Come out of that post-corner move faster.
It seems easy, except for the pain part. But it isn't any easier (or harder, for that matter) than anything else human beings try to excel at. And pushing yourself to be better than you were yesterday is hard, whether you're running patterns or teaching school. So a slant pattern is just a slant pattern. But behind that pattern is a story. It's an ordinary one, like all stories. But look hard enough, somewhere between the line of scrimmage and the end zone, and you just might find glory.

How to create an artistic TV stand by retrofitting an authentic painter's easel.
I needed a stand for the TV in my basement rec room — something that I could roll around for optimum viewing and tuck away when I'm done. After looking high and low, I found that most TV stands were expensive and often not terribly attractive. (I also didn't want to interfere with the look of my gallery wall by wall-mounting the TV.) Then, I stumbled on this cool easel at an art supply store and knew that with a little rejigging it would be a functional solution — not to mention a fun conversation piece. Here's how I did it:
Materials and Tools
- Easel
- Finishing stain
- Stain brush
- Drill
- 4 casters
- 4 bolts and washers
- 1"-thick plywood board
Step 1: Source easel
Easels vary significantly in price. Be sure to splurge on something with a solid wood frame and strong square base (mine cost $300, which I still consider a great deal). The easel must have a ledge deep enough to accommodate the depth of your TV. If you need extra storage, the two supporting boards connecting the legs at the base of the easel can double as a shelf for a DVD player or cable box (add a sheet of wood here if needed).
Step 2: Make alterations
I began by screwing four casters to the legs of the easel and staining it with Minwax Paste Finishing Wax to give it the finished look of furniture. Then, I built a bracket (see below) from a piece of 1"-thick plywood to provide extra support for the TV. Newer TV sets that can be wall-mounted will have four screw holes at the back of the unit. Simply measure the distance between the four holes, and have someone at your local hardware store cut a piece of plywood to size, adding 1" to the height and width (my bracket was 10" x 10"). Pencil on the board where the four screw holes should be and drill holes. Make sure the screws have the same thread pattern as the holes in the TV and are long enough (I needed 4" screws).
Step 3: Secure TV
Position your TV on the easel and gradually tighten the clamping mechanism to secure the top of the screen in place. Then, position the plywood board at the back of the easel and screw it into the TV. The TV is now firmly secured to the easel, so you can raise, lower or tilt it to suit your viewing needs.

A few weeks ago I asked a room full of designers to re-think, or "re-design" the way they work. For some of them the assignment seemed to be an odd request. I got several "What do you mean?" looks. I got a sense from even more that they never thought about it before. Design is a process that starts here and ends there, and that's just the way it is. But "the way we work" is, in itself, a design.
Amcor Flexibles took an unconventional approach to sterile breather bags with the design of its Fortis product line, which launched in February. The bags are made with nylon film instead of polyethylene, and they are sealed with uncoated Tyvek, but without any additional film strips. Both of these features are departures from traditional breather bags, says Tara Ford, Business Development Manager at Amcor Flexibles Healthcare.
Critics always ask why billions of dollars are spent on space missions when millions are starving on "terra nostra." But even theses critics will agree that space missions have indeed helped find solutions for some of the toughest engineering challenges.
While testing of sterile packaging produced for the DuPont Tyvek Medical Packaging Transition Project (MPTP) continues, the first round of results for pre-sterile and post sterile (at T=0) evaluations for the packages represented in the FDA-accepted transition protocol are nearing completion. As Nelson Laboratories completes testing for the 78 different combinations (also called cells) included in protocol, the testing lab is providing data to DuPont for drafting summary reports to industry.
Containing packaging costs and even reducing them is most likely on more than a few to-do lists this year. In a recent survey PMP News and sister publication Packaging Digest conducted on packaging sustainability, managing costs and addressing regulatory requirements were tied as the top business factors impacting pharmaceutical and medical device company strategies. (For more on this survey, conducted along with the Sustainable Packaging Coalition, please click here.)
Packaging considerations should be made early during the product development process, advises members of the Sterilization Packaging Manufacturers Council (SPMC) of the Flexible Packaging Association. Members of the SPMC's Technical Group spoke during the Webcast, "Sterilization: A Sterile Packaging Perspective," covering the impacts that different sterilization methods have on medical packaging materials and what to consider when developing such packaging.
Presentation proposals are now being accepted for HealthPack USA, which will return to Albuquerque on March 11-13, 2014.
Event organizers are interested in presentations on the following topics:
DuPont Medical & Pharmaceutical Protection has achieved several milestones in its Tyvek Medical Packaging Transition Project (MPTP), having completed half of its eight-phase project. Speakers from DuPont provided medical device manufacturers with regulatory updates as well as material testing data results during a recent PMP News Webcast and at a lunchtime meeting at MD&M East in Philadelphia.
Oliver-Tolas Healthcare Packaging has expanded operations at three of its locations around the world. The supplier of sterile-grade packaging has acquired a 50,000 sq-ft facility adjacent to its current Feasterville, PA, location; expanded its cleanroom manufacturing space in Venray, Netherlands; and launched manufacturing in Suzhou, China.
Medical device manufacturers spend a lot of time ensuring their packaging can survive the worst case scenario. But what if that worst case is the battlefield?
At this year's Healthcare Packaging Immersion Experience, organized by Michigan State University's School of Packaging, featured speaker Kevin D. Smith will explore in "Beans, Band Aids, Bullets" the extremes of delivering supplies to combat zones.

Vincent van Gogh
Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear
Van Gogh's interest in Japanese prints was something he had in common with artists such as Monet.
However a sinister link might also be made between Van Gogh's actions and the Japanese custom of shinju, a culture of refined prostitution based on the mutual exchange of love tokens. This escalated from love letters, often sealed with drops of blood, to snippets of hair, finger nails and even severed fingers. Van Gogh described the part of his ear that he handed to the prostitute Rachel as a 'precious' object to be treasured. It is hard to know whether Van Gogh can have been aware of this link.
On the night of 23 December 1888, Gauguin had been concerned by Van Gogh's behaviour and had decided to spend the night in a hotel. When he returned to the Yellow House the next morning, he found that the police suspected him of mutilating his friend. If Gauguin is to be believed, the police seemed initially to think that Van Gogh was dead, and it was only on Gauguin's suggestion that he was taken to hospital.

Comments about Rome Madison Snowboard Bindings - Women's 2012:
These bindings were a huge step up from my entry level K2 Charm bindings. I didn't realize how much pain my bindings were causing me until I starting using the Rome Madisons. Now my legs/ankles/heels are pain free!! These bindings are flexible yet still deliver quite the response. The toe strap molds to your boot's toe box but doesn't cut off circulation (unless you crank them down to the max). Definitely an all mountain binding...I've paired them with my Never Summer Infinity-it's definitely a go anywhere do anything combination. The bindings are a bit on the heavy side (which is barely noticeable. They are also very adjustable which means they take a bit of time to set up....once you're dialed in though, you'll never have to adjust them again.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Charts and graphs are great. I love charts and graphs. But they do have a tendency to be a trifle boring. Fortunately, Chartball is here to make sports charts and graphs beautiful. Chartball has been around for a few years but has only recently begun making charts for hockey.
This particular chart covers the Vancouver Canucks' franchise history up until the 2010-11 season, which makes me think it's been around for a while, but this is the first I'm seeing it.
And yes, it's beautiful.
You're going to want to click on that and make it bigger. Because it gets a lot bigger.
There's a lot of information, but the pretty part is the bands of colour. Each one represents a single player and their point totals. The wider and longer the band, the better. There are nice big bands for Andre Boudrias, Dennis Kearns, Thomas Gradin, and Stan Smyl from early on, and, of course, Jyrki Lumme, Trevor Linden, Markus Naslund, Todd Bertuzzi, and the Sedins.
I don't really have any fancy analysis or long story to tell. I mostly just want to point at this beautiful chart and say, "Look! See? Look at it!"
So, look at it.Tags: Charts

Re: Kiwi interviews & articles
Kiefer: "Every day such a match, and you would be used up for the madhouse"
Nicolas Kiefer was involved in a memorable match with Arnaud Clement. Now he's in the third round and has reason to hope for more.
Of Jörg Allmeroth, Paris
It was a kind of flashy pleasure at the frontier of insanity. It was a very weird, but at the same time a very passionate battle of Nicolas Kiefer against Arnaud Clement and 14000 uproarious fans. And it was a bizarre adventure for the German tennis pro with the fitting conclusion: "Every day such a match and you would be used up for the madhouse."
Dramatic duell
Nicolas Kiefer needed four hours on Thursday evening to get disposed of the never-ending to fight Arnaud Clement on the main stage of the French Open, the Court Central. Behind the bare numbers of the 4:6 6:2 6:2 4:6 6:4 victory was hidden one of the most dramatic duells of recent Parisian Grand Slam history - and one of the most memoric of Kiefer's career: "What was going on out there, was not normal anymore", even his normally stoically quiet Swedish coach Thomas Hogstedt noticed.
Almost like Martina Hingis in the unforgettable women's final of 1999 against Steffi Graf, Kiefer had the whole arena against himself - with ambiguous gestures, argueing calls and temper tantrums during those he came the spectators in the first rows quite close. "Today there must have been 10 Kiwis on the court - the good Kiwi, the evil Kiwi, the well-behaved Kiwi, the aggressive Kiwi", said Kiefer later, "the atmosphere was really tough, that got me fired up". Instead of calming down and relaxing the atmosphere, the half-Frenchman Kiefer set the crowd's nerves on edge in a way that looked like self-destruction.
Strange match
Equally unpredictable like Kiefer's emotions was his sports-wise performance which ranked between play from heaven and play from hell. The Hannoverian connected with unbelievable mistakes on pretty points and Argentina's Guillermo Vilas as eyewitness said that "every amateur would have been upset about these errors". Also Kiefer said: "It was very good, then grusome. I was close to a heart attack many times."
After the most eventful period of the match, the fourth set as he was down 0:5, rallied back to 4:5 just to lose his serve again for the set, Kiefer took refuge in a toilet break under sneering laughs and loud boos by the crowd. In the restroom he was looking into the mirror and yelled at himself and thought that "some people probably wondered what's going on with me?"
Nevertheless: In the battles of nerves, the all decisive set, Kiefer remained cool enough to defend his early break at 1:0 with everything he has got until the end. "That I stood up to the task is going to give me big confidence." Also Kiefer's grandma Emilienne congratulated his grandson for his won "battle in the pandemonium", but not without warning: "She was very happy. But also a bit upset with me because of the hokums", so Kiefer, "normally she only knows my good sides."
The end of niceness on the court was also taken as a good sign by Kiefer to get back to his strength of the summer last season - the time before his wrist injury at the US Open: "I innerly exploded again. Finally there was the right emotion and good confidence in a match.", said the 27 year-old, who finally reached the third round of a claycourt tournament for the first time in the last four years.
His next opponent, the Russian Igor Andreev, doesn't necessarily need to be his final destination. "That's a solvable task. But I have to be at full throttle right from the beginning." Kiefer wants to avoid a new bizarre match like against Clement, also being considerate of his grandma: "That would be too much for her in the long run." You must know the lady is already 90 years old.
C'MON Lleyton!!!
Best of luck to all
