Gene Robinson has the ear of inside-the-beltway political insiders. With more than 25 years of reporting experience, his incisive political commentary is welcome on news programs such as MSNBC's Hardball, Countdown and The Rachel Maddow Show and NBC's Meet the Press. Widely recognized for his uncanny ability to speak truth to power, Robinson is a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer who brings audiences a tested perspective on today's political news while looking to the future in analyzing the 2010 midterm elections. In his various roles at The Washington Post and while reporting abroad, Robinson has witnessed firsthand the revolution taking place online and in the 24/7 news cycle and has seen how the news media is influencing American culture. As one of the most prominent African-American intellectuals on the culture scene and author of Coal to Cream: A Black Man's Journey Beyond Color to an Affirmation of Race, Robinson also shares with audiences his understanding of race relations in the United States and explains why many popular conceptions are now obsolete.

Blood Antiques
Recently, a variety of news sources carried stories that made reference to an article in the Fall 2009 issue of the Journal of Art Crime by Judith Harris, which discussed the many connections between looted archaeological artifacts and terror. For a both more in-depth study and visual supplement be sure to check out "Blood Antiques," a Belgian documentary by Peter Brems and Wim Van den Eynde featured on Linktv.org.
From LinkTV,
"The European art trade, synonymous with wealth and glamour, has always involved a degree of stolen and smuggled art. Now, Afghanistan's rich cultural heritage is financing terrorism and the Taliban. From Afghans scrabbling in the sand for treasures, to the dazzling show rooms of unscrupulous dealers and private collectors – 'Blood Antiques' uncovers one of the most outrageous illegal trades since blood diamonds."

She goes the extra mile by NOT rushing you through even when there are patients behind you waiting. She takes the time to make sure that you understand everything and also double checks anything you ask her to. She is very knowledgeable but has no problem being humble and referring patients to a proper doctor if needed, such as I needed MORE...an Ophthalmologist. I recommend Dr. Lori Werthmiller.

Default 'view' by project?
Asked on Jul 24, 2013 - 21:05 UTC
This is probably more along the lines of a feature request, but I don't see where to put that. It seems to me that things you put in the Someday project, almost by definition, will not have a due date. It therefore makes sense to me that, when I select that project, by default I should see things with no date. Which makes me think I would like to be able to set the default filter by project, so one project will show me things coming due in the next 7 days, another will show me everything, and another will only show me things due today (or overdue). Just a thought.
(If feature requests belong somewhere else, I apologize and await directions on where to post this instead of here.)

Plane makes emergency landing on highwayUPDATED 11:15 PM HST Oct 21, 2013
A Valley Isle highway was closed this evening for a single engine plane that was forced to use the road for a runway.
Courtesy: MauiNow.comVideo Transcript
Emergency landing on Maui. A Valley Isle highway was closed this evening for some very unusual traffic -- a single engine plane was forced to use the road for a runway. The plane came down in the northbound direction of Piilani Highway and ended up coming to stop near Kilohana Drive. According to fire department personnel, the plane was a Mokulele Airlines Express that had to make an emergency landing because of engine trouble. Kihei resident Kevin Olson spotted the plane coming in fast and low and knew something was wrong right away. 6:20 IT WAS LOWER THAN WE ARE AND WE'RE 400 FEET UP THE MOUNTAIN. SO IT WAS EITHER GOING TO DITCH IN THE OCEAN OR DITCH SOMEWHERE DOWN THERE" 7:20-7:29 "IT WAS A REAL SURPRISE THAT HE DIDN'T HIT ANY CARS OR HOUSES. HE KNEW EXACTLY WHERE HE NEEDED TO GO AND WHERE HE HAD TO BE" 5:34 "THE AMOUNT OF TIME HE HAD TO COME IN AND PUT THE PLANE DOWN HE DID A GREAT JOB. HE SAVED PROBABLY EVERYONE ON BOARD" Rescue personnel say there were eight passengers on board and two pilots. No one was injured in the emergency landing but the highway has been shut down -- first to get emergency crews to the scene and now to remove the airplane. We are waiting for more details from Mokulele Airlines on this emergency landing, and from the state Department of Transportation which is now conducting an investigation at the highway. For the latest on this story, log on to our website KITV dot com... And tune into KITV4 morning news tomorrow.

NPMA and ASPCRO Release Results of State Regulation Survey
Related Documents and Links
The National Pest Management Association and the Association of Structural Pest Control Regulatory Officials surveyed state pesticide regulatory agencies about how they regulate PMPs. Forty-eight states (all but New Jersey and South Dakota), the District of Columbia and two territories (U.S. Virgin Islands and Northern Marianas) responded. The results are available as either aggregate charts and tables or in an unformatted spreadsheet containing raw data, designed to allow users flexibility in evaluating the data.
The survey was conducted over a thirty-day period in the Spring of 2012 and was developed and executed by a committee comprised of Bob Rosenberg and Gene Harrington of NPMA and Derrick Lastinger (GA), John Campbell (MS), Cary Giguere (VT), Jay Kelley (IN) and Mike Kelly (TX) of ASPCRO.
Among the surveys key findings:
Every state regulates pesticide applications, but 53% regulate inspections, 41% regulate devices and 37% regulate non-chemical pest management,
Forty-two percent of states require licensing of "not-for-hire" technicians working at government facilities and 37% require licensing for "not-for-hire" technicians making applications at private facilities,
Only 6 states require criminal background checks for licensees, and
More than half of the states allow consumer information to be transmitted electronically
For more results or information about the survey, contact Bob Rosenberg at email@example.com or Derrick Lastinger at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Australian Open First Round Highlight Match:
Nadal Vs. Tomic
since the introduction of 32 seeds in Grand Slam events 13 years has the
draw thrown up a confrontation with as much spice as Rafael Nadals
Australian Open first round clash with home favorite Bernard Tomic.
Lendl Comments On Celebrity Coaches
since Ivan Lendl wandered back into the major tennis arena two years ago
after more than a decade out of the spotlight he has cast a solitary
image. Now with contemporaries like Boris Becker, Stefan Edberg and
Michael Chang adopting the new roles of celebrity coaches, there would
apparently be a sense of familiarity for the 53 year-old who won two
Australian Open titles.
Sampras Sees A Shift Of Interest In American Mens Tennis Players
Sampras is at a loss to explain the massive drop in popularity and top
players experienced by US men's tennis. But the former No. 1 has made a
stab at an explanation in an American radio interview.
British Shrub Is Named The
Andy Murray
every other award that a grateful Scotland can dream up for native
Wimbledon winner Andy Murray, now is more out of character than naming a
delicate strain of plant after the gruff, all-business tennis player.
But that's what has happened
anyway, with a new shrub now named the Andy Murray to go on display at
the world-famed Chelsea flower show in London in the spring. The
greenery will also be planted at Murray's new Cromlix house hotel, to
open in the spring near his boyhood village of Dunblane.

Today I'm going to lay it all out there...
1. You simply cannot please all of the people all of the time.
2. You will be hated. By someone. 'Haters' will try to pull you down in the most typical way bullying occurs - by finding your weakness and drawing attention to that. You'll be too fat, too thin, too rich, too poor.
3. The more beautiful will build popular blogs quicker and with less effort than someone who doesn't have classic good looks. That, unfortunately, is a fact of life.
4. People will be jealous of the number of 'followers' you have (and express that jealousy through hateful comments). That Google Friend Connect widget in the left sidebar has an awful lot to answer for.
5. There are blogging community cliques. No doubt. Just like there are in 'real life'. Some established bloggers will speak to all irrespective of that person's success (i.e. number of followers). Some will not.
6. People will 'rip-off' your blog - from post ideas to layout and design.
7. The blogging community intensifies the tendency to compare oneself to others. Jealousy and competitiveness appears to be rife.
8. Blogging is scarily addictive. If you don't make a conscious effort to reign it in, answering comments, tweets and emails and creating thoughtful, interesting posts can take over your life. It can quickly and easily become more than a part time gig.
9. Some PR companies 'prey' on bloggers, persuading them to feature their clients because they do not understand the true value promotion on their blog has. Thankfully most are professional and wouldn't dream of acting in such a patronising manner.
10. That Benefit blush will not make you look like your favourite beauty blogger who swears by it. It concerns me that blog readers get drawn in, in the same way we all do with any kind of advertising. It's not something bloggers need take responsibility for - I just wish readers were more aware.

Heritage on the Wire
Across the Wire
July 09, 2012
(1) CommentsTweet
For the past two years, archaeologists around the world have been closely following the events at Mes Aynak, an ancient settlement with over 200 Buddha statues, stupas and a 100-acre monastery complex. A team of French and Afghan archaeologists there are racing against the clock to excavate and study the site before it is destroyed to make way for a mine targeting the world's second largest copper deposit.
With Mes Aynak set for demolition when the China Metallurgical Group Corporation begins copper extraction in 2013, the archaeologists' plan is to document the layout of the Buddhist settlement and store as many artifacts as possible in a proposed site museum. Many structures simply cannot be saved, either because they are too large or too fragile to be moved.
"The Buddhas of Aynak," an in-production documentary directed by award-winning filmmaker Brent E. Huffman and partially funded by GHF, tells the story of the doomed archaeological site, as well as the dangerous environment the mine has created for archaeologists, Chinese workers and local Afghans.
The film follows several main characters, including Philippe Marquis, a French archaeologist leading emergency conservation efforts; Abdul Qadeer Temore, an Afghan archaeologist at the Afghan National Institute of Archaeology; Liu Wenming, a manager for the China Metallurgical Group Corporation; and Laura Tedesco, an American archaeologist working for the Kabul-based U.S. Embassy, which has used a million dollars of U.S. military funding to attempt to save the Buddhist ruins.
Situated on the Silk Road about 35 kilometers south of Kabul, Mes Aynak is located in the heart of Taliban country. In a recent article for the Asia Society, Huffman noted the death threats Temore receives every day from the Taliban, as well as the land mines that have killed and injured both Chinese and Afghan workers. Conditions at the site are clearly volatile, but Temore says his team of specialists will not stop excavating until they are forced to quit.
"The site is absolutely awe inspiring," Huffman said in an interview with Northwestern University, where he is an assistant professor at the Medill School of Journalism. "You can feel history there. As archaeologists scramble to save what they can before the 2014 deadline, it's become clear to me that a cultural wonder in Asia will be lost to a future focused on resources that ultimately benefit residents of other countries over Afghan citizens."

Air show, biofuels on busy aerospace agenda
State council discusses upcoming air show, Boeing product plans
Those lucrative opportunities and what the state is doing to capitalize on them were topics of discussion for the Washington Council on Aerospace, which met Thursday. The council consists of representatives of industry and labor, and of commerce, education and state government.
"We are keenly focused on Boeing's intentions on the latest iteration of the 777 -- the 777X," said Alex Pietsch, who chairs the council and serves as the director of the governor's Aerospace Office.
Boeing officials have said they would go to the company's board of directors with a plan for refreshing the popular Everett-built 777 by year's end. Recently, however, Jim Albaugh, president of Renton-based Boeing Commercial Airplanes, indicated the company is more focused on developing a slightly larger version of the 787 before turning attention to the 777.
Pietsch indicated that the state might not need to pursue the 777X the way it did to land manufacture of the 737 MAX, Boeing's re-engined single-aisle jet. For that, the state had an outside research firm conduct a competitiveness study late last year, complete with recommendations for Washington. Boeing and the local district of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) inked a deal for keeping the MAX in Renton before the state implemented many of those recommendations. Continuing that effort could be the state's way forward on the 777X, Pietsch said.
The most immediate opportunity for Washington is the Farnborough International Airshow, held in July outside London. Jet makers like Boeing and Airbus typically make a splash at the show by announcing large orders for aircraft. But it's also a place for their suppliers to strike deals, as well.
Gov. Chris Gregoire will lead a trade delegation that includes 10 aerospace suppliers and three exhibitors, like the Center of Excellence for Aerospace and Advanced Manufacturing in Everett. More than 50 companies in the state also will be attending the air show but will have their own booths, said Monica Wiedrich of the state Commerce Department.
It's the largest contingent from Washington to attend Farnborough, which is held every other year, alternating with the Paris Air Show. Wiedrich said the governor is seeking to generate $10 million in long-term sales by participating.
Wiedrich, like Pietsch, also was enthusiastic about the state's opportunities in biofuels. Boeing and Airbus have both worked with airlines and research groups to come up with long-term, sustainable alternatives to oil. Boeing is interested in biofuel as a means to help stabilize fuel prices and to cut emissions, not as a new business segment, a company official told community leaders in Everett last week.
The state's opportunities in aerospace depend both on its ability to foster a steady supply of workers and to lobby for new business. The council has been focused on boosting education and aerospace training efforts over the past year. Lobbying has been left largely to the Washington Aerospace Partnership, in which Pietsch plays a role.

Got it? Good. You've been warned. I want no complaining if you choose to go forward.
I had tea with my friend T this morning. We haven't seen each other in several months despite living only a few minutes from one another. That's what motherhood is like, kiddies. One minute you're the belle of the social ball, and the next you're having to reschedule an hour-long tea-drinking session three times before it actually happens.
The nice thing is, if you have a solid female friendship, conversation and comfort levels are easily picked up where you left off even months before. It doesn't get awkward.
I'd like to state that, after today, I'm absolutely certain T and I have that kind of friendship.
After drinking a pot each at the nicest tea room I've been to in probably ever, she came with me to the store to get a few things. One of those items was a box of sanitary napkins.
|Also known as "sanitary towels", apparently.
That makes them so much grosser.
Okay, but seriously: who calls them "sanitary napkins"? Am I a 1930's grandma? No. Pads. They're pads. And I generally hate the things, but I hate them slightly less than tampons. There's no shoving anything up anywhere and then feeling like a kangaroo. But instead of a pouch you have a vagina, and instead of carrying around a baby kangaroo you're carrying around what feels like one of those little cocktail weenies.
So, basically it's exactly like a kangaroo. I'm an expert analogizer. I'm also an expert word maker-upper.
I was going to go with my usual standby pads. I only get them because the wrapper is pretty. Seriously. It's an embarrassing thing to admit. Feminists everywhere are throwing their diva cups and marketing pamphlets at the screen right now and screaming at me. I deserve it. But keep reading.
T suggested I try out the kind she uses, which she claims is not only extremely comfortable, but also impressively absorbant. They were on sale, which made them comparable to the brand I normally buy. I picked them up and examined the wrappers. Not quite as pretty as my usuals, but not ugly either. Nice enough to have in my purse. So I threw them in the cart.
I am so sorry for the last couple of sentences, angry feminists. I swear underneath this shallow, ignorant exterior I'm one of you. Just go read my posts on body image before you make dartboards out of my face, ok? And keep reading.
We left the store and I threw everything in the trunk. We got into the car and I leaned over and put my purse in the back seat. And, of course, knocked over the leftover smoothie Spawnling never finished, which was sitting in a cup holder. The smoothie I almost threw out yesterday but didn't feel like making an extra trip to bring in. That one. Yep. All over my new-ish floor mats. There's some car-ma for you.
"Dammit!" I exclaimed, frantically looking for something to wipe it up with. I had no tissues or napkins. Nothing. T checked her purse and had none of those things, either.
Then, suddenly: "But I have this!" she said, and whipped out a pad. "It's the same kind I told you to buy. Maybe it'll work."
The man getting into his van next to us glanced over to see two women excitedly discussing what looked to be a feminine hygiene product.
"Seriously? You think that'll work?" I wasn't sure, but the car was starting to smell like two-day-old strawberry smoothie. We had to act fast.
She opened it up. "Feel it! Feel how spongy it is! I haven't had a leak since I started using these."
By now the guy beside us was openly staring at two chicks fondling a pad. This was probably the worst intimate girl scene he'd ever witnessed. But, like a train wreck, he couldn't look away.
I took the pad from her and reached into the back, dabbing the large puddle with it.
"Holy shit, T. HOLY SHIT. This is really working!"
"Is it?" she asked excitedly.
"Wait until you see this thing! It's fucking magical!"
I held up a large, heavy, fully used pad filled with a peachy pink substance. We were amazed. I then rolled it up and stuffed it into an empty coffee cup.
At this point, the guy beside us drove away. I'm positive we ruined that whole girl-on-girl fantasy for him for the rest of his life. He's going to go home and denounce all pornography. Consider me redeemed, angry feminists.
Besides which, the whole moral of this story is that I chose the brand that actually works over the pretty ones. And, after today, I am extremely loyal to them. They saved my hybrid from becoming a place where smoothie spills go to die. And stink while they die. And make me frown and/or pout whenever I look at the the crime scene all over my mats.
Thank you, T. And thank you, pad. We reached a new level of intimacy today, much to the dismay of traumatized onlookers.

Genetic: Critical Mass x Skunk #1 Yield: 300 - 350 grs. / m2 THC: 14% Indoor height: 80 - 90 cm. Outdoor height: 1 - 1,2 m. Indoor flowering period: 60 - 70 days Harvest: From April to November
70% Sativa, 30% Indica. It has been selected by New York City Diesel, one of the most awarded plants in the cannabis cups.
A maximum of 10 days of growth is advised for indoors to avoid a too big final size. Fast and rich outdoors harvest, it produces abundant branches and infinity of buds.
Mostly Indica. White Widow selection. Highly resinous. Its smaller size is compensated by the great deal of resin that you can find in its buds. Sweet-and-sour aroma. It intense smell increase during flowering until high levels. Very intense taste.
Haze x White Widow. One of our strongest strain. We have obtained this very potent and stable strain by crossing our best sativa mother plants with an indica to reduce the long flowering time typical of the haze.
Kush and South African Sativa crossing. A typical Indica buds plant with a larger production because of its Sativa´s influence bigger size.
Ak - 47 Genetics. It has been selected because its flowering period is shorter and has a bigger yield than Ak.
Selection of Jack Herer, mainly Sativa with a touch of Indica to provide a sweet flavour and a shorter flowering time.
Top 69 belongs to a new generation of autoflowering cannabis strains. From a selective inbreeding we finally got a stable bigger plant to answer the needs of our customer for bigger autoflowering plant.

Hudson River Almanac November 5 - November 11, 2013
Migration continued, with waterfowl and raptors moving through the valley and winter birds arriving from points north. There was little precipitation. Southeastern New York remained abnormally dry, and the salt front - the leading edge of dilute seawater in the Hudson estuary - remained in the vicinity of Newburgh.
11/11 - Selkirk, HRM 135: I was driving home at dusk this evening when a very long, sleek, black, furry mammal ran across the road. I stopped the car and got a good look as the animal made its way up into the woods. It was a fisher. Just over the hill is Onesquethaw Creek, and it is very dry at this time of the year.
- Roberta S. Jeracka
[The fisher or "fisher-cat" is our largest weasel, reaching over 40 inches in length. While fishers are seen periodically in the Catskills and Adirondacks, they are uncommon in the Mid-Hudson Valley. While the name of this furbearer suggests an aquatic habitat and diet, it actually much prefers dense forests and porcupines. The fisher has re-established populations in other parts of the state; many reported sightings of "black panthers" have been confirmed as fishers. Ellen Rathbone.]
11/5 - Hudson Valley: The 114th annual Christmas Bird Count is approaching. This is the nation's longest running citizen-science effort, held throughout the country at year's end - usually in December. It replaced the Victorian era "side-shoot," during which guests went out to shoot as many different bird and mammal species as possible on Christmas Day. In 1900, ornithologist Frank Chapman organized a group of friends to observe, count, and share information about bird species without shooting them. The National Audubon Society, which Chapman helped organize, now sponsors this annual tradition. As an enlightened alternative, thousands of people go out to count as many bird species as their group can in a sporting, competitive way. The result has been the gathering of significant data used to monitor changes in bird populations and distribution over the years. For details on Christmas Bird Counts in your area, go to the New York State Ornithological Association's website.
- Rich Guthrie
11/5 - Dutchess County, HRM 96: Adrienne Popko, Dick Ryley, and Maha Katnani reported a cackling goose at "The Fly," a wetland pond north of Pine Plains on Route 82. The bird was easily viewed with hundreds of Canada geese on the northern edge of the wetland. Also present were green-winged teal and a few northern pintails.
- Deb Tracy-Kral
11/5 - Shawangunk Grasslands, Ulster County, HRM 78: We counted nine short-eared owls at the Shawangunk National Wildlife Refuge Grasslands this evening.
- Curt McDermott, Ken McDermott
11/5 - Town of Cortlandt, HRM 38.5: It was a sunny afternoon, bright with autumn colors and bluebirds, at Blue Mountain Reservation. We paused for long minutes to enjoy a flock of two dozen, flitting through a picnic area, out-bluing the sky.
- Christopher Letts, Nancy Letts
11/5 - Bedford, HRM 35: It was a more haphazard migration with very messy flight-lines at the Chestnut Ridge hawkwatch today. Most were flying at casual height although an occasional bird was observed moving high enough to be almost undetectable without binoculars. Also counted were three common ravens and 681 American robins. Current season totals of vultures: 1,982 turkey vultures, 39 black vultures.
- Arthur W. Green
11/5 - Croton Point, HRM 34.5: At dusk I spotted a northern harrier skimming the grass tops on the landfill, putting up a flock of 27 snow buntings. The buntings landed on a nearby gravel path, offering a great scope view. Three American pipits made a flyover as well.
- Anne Swaim
11/6 - Croton Point, HRM 35: As we pulled into a parking spot at dawn, a tan coyote trotted across the road and into a grassy field. It paused 50 yards away, in no hurry and not alarmed. As we turned toward the north-side beach, another coyote appeared, this one mostly gray. I had seen them before, several times over the past few years. Had we interrupted a romantic moment? I believe this to be the breeding pair on the Point. In any case, they were handsome specimens, with full, lustrous winter coats, and an assured behavior that declared them to be in charge of their territory.
- Christopher Letts, Gino Garner
11/6 - Bedford, HRM 35: An already sparse flight at casual-to-moderate height at the Chestnut Ridge hawkwatch seemed to shut down completely by the afternoon. Besides raptors, we counted two common ravens and 160 American robins. Current season totals of vultures: 1,988 turkey vultures, 39 black vultures.
- Arthur W. Green, Charles Bobelis
11/6 - Crugers, HRM 38.5: As we reached the bridge over Furnace Brook at Oscawana, we saw what we thought was our usual great blue heron with its neck and head buried under its wing, perched in a large tree that bent over the water. So it was a surprise to find another great blue heron, the bird we usually see, standing near the far shore in Ogilvie's Pond. As we watched, the bird walked along the shore with its long neck stuck out, hunting.
- Dorothy Ferguson, Bob Ferguson
11/6 - Manhattan, HRM 12.5: I found a cackling goose on the baseball fields in Inwood Hill Park today.
- James Knox
11/7 - Beacon, HRM 61: By the clock it was sunrise, but a steady rain and steely gray skies kept that moment obscured. We stretched our 85-foot-long seine out into the shallows, enjoying the fact that the breeze was light and the hauling easy. The catch was highlighted by a fish we rarely capture, a sixteen-inch-long adult white sucker. The puzzling presence of large young-of-the-year American shad 96-118 millimeters [mm] continued. The river was 51 degrees Fahrenheit and salinity was 1.7 parts per thousand [ppt].
- Tom Lake, A. Danforth
[White suckers (Catostomus commersoni) are native fishes that frequent the near-shore areas and tidal tributaries of the estuary. Each spring they ascend streams and creeks to spawn, often above the reach of the tide. Males develop breeding colors, a broad red streak on their sides. Until the last half of the twentieth century, there was a springtime cottage industry along the estuary of scap-netting and pickling white suckers. Tom Lake.]
11/7 - Bedford, HRM 35: Rain and poor visibility resulted in our first full count day cancellation of the season at the Chestnut Ridge hawkwatch.
- Arthur W. Green
11/7 - Manhattan, HRM 4: I found a dead woodcock on the sidewalk in front of our home this morning. It must have banged into something and, although our building is only four stories high, perhaps that's what it hit. I gave the woodcock, a lovely looking bird, to the American Museum of Natural History.
- Vicki Brown
[The American woodcock (Philohela minor) is taxonomically a shorebird, but it is found in upland habitats. According to data from New York City Audubon's Project Safe Flight, the woodcock made the top ten list of migrant species that fell victim to bright lights and glass in New York City in the period 1997-2011. Tom Lake, Steve Stanne.]
11/8 - Bedford, HRM 35: It was not quite the flight we expected at the Chestnut Ridge hawkwatch today. However, we had excellent species representation (nine species) for such a paltry total count of raptors - fifteen birds. Most commonly seen were red-shouldered hawks, numbering five. Other than raptors, we also counted four common ravens, two common loons, three eastern bluebirds, eighteen American robins, and 55 cedar waxwings. Current season totals of vultures: 1,991 turkey vultures, 39 black vultures.
- Arthur W. Green
11/08 - Manhattan, HRM 13.5: At least 40 Canada geese were resting near shore in the Inwood Hill Park inlet, with another 20 farther out. There were also 40 mallards. Half an hour later they were all swimming toward the outlet to Spuyten Duyvil Creek, passing a single common merganser. A few flowers remained on common quickweed and black nightshade, and red clover had new blossoms - in November! Along the shore common evening-primrose had many blossoms as well. The woods were now full of color, with a few bright red sumacs the most striking.
- Thomas Shoesmith
11/9 - Bedford, HRM 35: A day that began rather modestly with overcast skies at the Chestnut Ridge hawkwatch revved up once skies began to finally clear. Unusual was a large kettle composed of 41 turkey vultures and fifteen black vultures that seemed to spring up out of nowhere to our southeast. Also unique today was not one but two juvenile golden eagles on entirely different flight-lines, meeting up and circling within a single scope view as a sub-adult male northern harrier passed over them. Also counted were two common ravens, 751 common grackles, 724 American robins, and 177 cedar waxwings. Current season totals of vultures: 2,024 turkey vultures, 59 black vultures.
- Arthur W. Green, John Gluth
11/9 - New York Harbor, Lower Bay: Even after many years of cruising, Captain Carey Colwell had another first this morning. He was traveling from Rhode Island to Florida aboard his Island Packet SP Cruiser when, about a half-mile north of the Verrazano Bridge he encountered a well-antlered white-tailed deer headed from Brooklyn over to Staten Island. The deer was swimming very efficiently until he got about 150 feet in front of the boat and then promptly turned around and headed straight for his bow. Captain Colwell had to take evasive action.
- Captain Bruce Gregory
11/10 - Hudson River Valley: It was one month following our eleventh "Day in the Life of the River" event, held at 63 sites across a 200 mile-long reach of the watershed involving some 3,000 students and teachers. After considering the length and breadth of the day, two sixth graders from North Colonie in Albany County, Brian Cunningham and Ian Justino, composed a poem they called A Reflection of the Day.
- Rebecca Houser
It was a grey day on the Hudson River.
As we traveled into the brackish water, less and less fish and varieties of fish were found. Puzzling, very puzzling.
It drizzled softly and as the fog grew,
so did the waves as we drew nearer to the salty Atlantic.
We could taste the salt in the air, we were close.
11/10 - Dutchess County, HRM 68: Carena Pooth, Herb Thompson, and Eamon Freiburger spotted a female surf scoter at Sylvan Lake this afternoon. Per The Birds of Dutchess County, the surf scoter is a transient visitor - there are only eleven county records. Also seen were many ruddy ducks, some ring-necked ducks, and lesser scaup.
- Deb Tracy-Kral
[On October 30, 2012, in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, Curt McDermott counted ten surf scoters offshore from Cornwall-on-Hudson, Orange County (HRM 57). Tom Lake.]
11/10 - West Point, HRM 50: This afternoon I had a repeat performance of an occurrence from two weeks ago. While out archery hunting at West Point, I greeted a sow black bear and her three cubs. It was quite amazing and a bit scary at the same time. I felt very comfortable up in my tree stand until I saw that the cubs were also climbing trees and noticed that one of them was heading for mine. Mom was not too happy. They hung around me for ten minutes before leaving.
- Frank Maresco
11/10 - Crugers, HRM 38.5: We were watching our favorite great blue heron standing on its usual flat-topped tree on Ogilvie's Pond when a "gray blur" flew past - a belted kingfisher. It plunged into the middle of the pond, came up with a fish in its beak, and carried it to a branch near the great blue. The kingfisher shook its head, thrashing the fish around before its catch disappeared down its throat. The kingfisher then settled on the branch and began preening its feathers, its colors vibrant in the waning afternoon sunlight. Its white collar and blue band, along with the reddish-orange band marking it as a female, were very distinct on its white breast. The heron didn't budge all the while the action was taking place, standing like a statue on its branch the entire time.
- Dorothy Ferguson, Bob Ferguson
11/10 - Bedford, HRM 35: Migration seemed to be well-suppressed (only four raptors) at the Chestnut Ridge hawkwatch today, with the coming of a cold front that would finally sweep through the area by mid-afternoon. Also counted were three common ravens. Current season totals of vultures: 2,025 turkey vultures, 60 black vultures.
- Arthur W. Green
11/10 - Croton-On-Hudson, HRM 34: While driving north this morning, we sighted a young white-tailed deer swimming across the Croton River.
- Dianne Picciano, Phil Picciano
11/10 - Croton Point, HRM 34: I spotted a beautiful adult male peregrine falcon (tail-fanning) along the road just beyond the tent campground.
- Jeff Seneca
11/10 - Croton Point, HRM 35-34: The Point was productive this morning. In addition to lingering palm warblers (eastern and western), ruby- and golden-crowned kinglets, savannah, white throated, and song sparrows, and many eastern bluebirds, we had excellent looks on the landfill of a single Lapland longspur. It was cooperative enough for Charlie Roberto to get a photo. We saw a beautiful coyote loping on the landfill as well, and later we had an adult male peregrine falcon perched in sight for not less than 30 minutes.
- L. Trachtenberg
11/11 - North Germantown, HRM 109: I saw a red fox this morning. He was 50 feet from the house, trotting away across my yard just next to the tree line. The reddish color of his fur and the size of his tail were both striking in the early morning light. I fumbled for my camera and tried to get the telephoto in place, but he slipped into the woods well before the lens clicked onto the camera. This spring and summer we enjoyed a cottontail rabbit family that made its home somewhere in our yard, but for the last month or two they've been absent. I wonder if the fox is the reason?
- Kaare Christian
11/11 - Beacon, HRM 61: Our walk at Long Dock Park was notable for the number of woolly bear caterpillars we encountered. We dutifully measured each one, focusing on the brown band between the black end-bands. The consensus: The average brown bands were more than one-third of the average total lengths. The river was 53 degrees F and the salinity was 1.5 ppt.
- Tom Lake, Phyllis Lake, T.R. Jackson
[Woolly bear caterpillars are the larval form of the Isabella tiger moth (Pyrrharctia isabella). According to unscientific tradition, the wider the middle brown section is, the milder the coming winter will be. Conversely, a narrow brown band may predict a cold and snowy winter. These caterpillars, perhaps advertising climate change, were predicting another relatively warm winter. Tom Lake.]
11/11 - Bedford, HRM 35: Not quite the flight we'd hoped for at the Chestnut Ridge hawkwatch today, although it is possible that things remain suppressed (only 22 raptors) in anticipation of precipitation this evening. Also counted were ten common ravens, three eastern bluebirds, one purple finch (heard only), 912 common grackles, 102 American robins, and 164 cedar waxwings. Current season totals of vultures: 2,035 turkey vultures, 60 black vultures.
- Arthur W. Green
11/11 - Croton Point, HRM 34.5: Charlie Roberto reported that the Lapland longspur (from yesterday) as well as an eastern meadowlark and many American pipits were seen on the landfill this morning.
- L. Trachtenberg
[As the name suggests, Lapland longspurs (Calcarius lapponicus) are Arctic tundra breeders. They are abundant on their nesting grounds and - in winter - on the Great Plains between the Great Lakes and the Rocky Mountains. In the Hudson Valley, they are only occasionally seen in open grassland habitats during migration and in winter. Tom Lake, Steve Stanne.]

Glen Perkins, Kurt Suzuki to represent Twins in 2014 All-Star Game
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
MINNEAPOLIS - Kurt Suzuki and Glen Perkins are headed to the All-Star Game. Or, more accurately, they will return home to be a part of All-Star Game week, which will take place in Minneapolis. The game will be at Target Field.
Perkins will make a return trip, while Suzuki is making the first appearance of his eight-year big league career.
Phil Hughes and Brian Dozier also deserved consideration but neither was announced to the American League team Sunday. (Hughes is currently lined up to pitch Sunday, July 13, meaning he likely wouldn't pitch in the game July 15 anyway.)
Manager Ron Gardenhire and general manager Terry Ryan made the announcement to the team in the clubhouse before Sunday's game.
"I didn't know how to react," Suzuki said. "It's been a tough couple last years. But it all worked out and I couldn't have been happier. Great place, great group of guys, great coaching staff."
Perkins, who is from Stillwater and pitched for the Gophers, said it's an added bonus that the game will be played in his home state.
"It was a lot of pressure this year to get here from a lot of different people. A lot of pressure I put on myself," Perkins said. "I think in a way, you get your name out there a little bit it can maybe give you a nudge next year. I'll steal Joe [Mauer's] quote: 'any time you get a chance to go, you go. Because you never know when it's going to be your last one and you never know when you're going to be done.'"
Perkins understandably was pulling for his teammate to make it.
"I'm excited for [Suzuki]. He's had a heck of a year. He's been our best player and is more than deserving," Perkins said. "It's going to be a lot of fun and hopefully I get to throw the ball to him."
Others participating:
Ron Gardenhire -- coach
Joe Mauer -- ambassador
Dave Pruemer -- trainer
Perry Castellano -- strength coach

Stoneware kundika (water sprinkler)
This kundika, or water sprinkler, was used in Buddhist rituals. In many Buddhist paintings of the Koryo period (918-1392), the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara is depicted holding a willow branch, which he would use to sprinkle the water of compassion on worshippers.

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE - How do you spend your commute?Susan Madara listens to books on tape. Stephanie Gray talks on her cell phone. Wanda Teichert vents to her carpool partner, and Lisa Quattro alternates between flipping radio stations and watching the people who, like her, are stuck in standstill traffic. That is, when she isn't chewing on her fingernails in frustration. On average, Gwinnett commuters spend 31.5 minutes driving to work each day, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. And despite almost universal frustration with the hours they spend stuck in traffic each week, on the eve of Labor Day commuters say the annoyance is worth it for the bigger houses and yards they get in exchange for their drives. Gray, who said she lives in one of 10 homes in Bethlehem that are in Gwinnett County, would not trade either her 4.5-acre farm or her job at the American Academy of Religion in Atlanta. "I love my job, but I don't like it inside the perimeter," she said. "It's too crowded. People live right on top of each other." So she wakes up at 5:30 each morning to leave by 6:15, hoping to arrive at the office by 7:30 a.m. Gray said construction on Interstate 85 and Ga. Highway 316 has made the commute, which usually lasts more than an hour, even more difficult. Coming home isn't any better. "It's pretty brutal," she said. "I try to leave early or leave late on purpose." For Madara, the drive home is always worse than the commute to work, whether she leaves the office at 4 p.m. or stays until 6:30, hoping to bypass the worst of the rush hour crush. The Lilburn resident, who works at the Society for Biblical Literature, says moving closer to work isn't a question because her husband - who commutes almost two hours to his job off Interstate 75 North - doesn't like change. "The commute absolutely drives me ballistic," she said. "It makes me nuts. It's so much better in the summertime, but there's just no win. There are twice as many cars on the road once school's in session." Teichert, a Lilburn resident who carpools to Emory University with a co-worker from Duluth, coordinates the school's transportation program. She said having someone else to vent to - about work, the traffic, anything - definitely helps ease the stress of a long drive. At times, the passenger even falls asleep on the car ride home, exhausted from a long day. Teichert said several people commute to the university from Gwinnett, and the school has started to offer park-and-ride options and flex-cars to encourage people to share their drives and ease traffic. "Everybody's tired of the commute," she said. According to Census data, Gwinnett's commute is the 52nd-longest in the country. Michael Halicki, the communications director for the Clean Air Campaign, said the fact that metro Atlanta has one of the longest commutes in the nation does not surprise him. As a region, Atlanta ranks fifth in the nation. With 15 counties on the list of the longest commutes, Georgia has more than any other state. Halicki said many people settle into their long commutes because they are interested in the quality of schools in an area or don't factor the cost of gas and car maintenance into a decision to buy a certain home. Others, he said, lived near their jobs at one point, but didn't move when they changed jobs. Halicki suggested teleworking, carpooling and taking public transportation as ways to help ease the effects of commutes on the environment. He said the image of control is what keeps many people driving their own cars to work, but that the image is false. "Look out there right now at all those people taking their place in line," Halicki said Friday during rush hour. "The bill of goods people are sold is not all it's cracked up to be." Quattro, who commutes from Lawrenceville to the north side of Buckhead for her job as a business analyst, said the drive has gradually gotten longer for the 19 years she has worked with the company. If it was just she and her husband, Quattro said, they would definitely move. But she doesn't want to uproot their children. "The further out you get, there's more property, a bigger house," she said. "It's a sacrifice. ... It doesn't mean there's not a lot of stress through the day sitting in traffic, but I'd rather the kids be in school here." Quattro said she is jealous of friends who are able to telecommute to work, saying she realized listening to the radio the other day that she spends 10 hours a week sitting in her car. "It smacked me in the face," she said. "The flexibility, to be able to work when it's convenient for you to work. ... I'm kind of jealous." Whether it's a cup of coffee or a good song on the radio, commuters look for ways to ease the stress that comes with the drive. For Gray, the best way to do that is by popping into a store two or three days a week. But Madara said whether she leaves at 3 p.m. or 7 p.m., the drive home is the same length. "There's no window to hit," she said. "In the morning, I usually get out of the house prior to traffic."

This day in history: SPLC warns of "anti-government extremists"
Posted By kurtnimmoadmin On April 1, 2013 @ 1:33 pm In Old Infowars Posts Style,Tile,War on Terror | Comments Disabled
April 1, 2013
In 1776, the Society for the Protection of Loyal Colonists (SPLC) issued a report warning of the rise of the so-called "Patriot Movement" in the American colonies. As reported in the Boston General Advertiser, SPLC spokesman Marcus Potok announced his organization had been monitoring the takeover of royal legislatures, militias, and town councils by anti-government extremists.
"Dangerous men such as John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, John Hancock, and Benjamin Franklin have stoked the fires of sedition and radicalism among the King's subjects," Potok wrote in his report. "As a result, illegal militias have seen explosive growth, fueled by a furious reaction to much-needed revenue laws duly enacted under the authority of the King."
Potok promised that his organization, in close coordination with King George III's government, would work to end extremist activity in the colonies. "Our aim is sometimes described as just monitoring these hate groups. I want to say that our aim is to destroy these groups." Then he added, "After all, we're talking about the mightiest empire in the world, one that a vast majority of its subjects will remain loyal to, despite the heated rhetoric of a few rabble-rousers."
Loyalists were assured the "Patriot Movement," while boisterous and potentially violent, had little chance of success.
Said Potok, "As long as the enlightened merchants of New York and Boston continue to donate to our organization, the SPLC will expose these self-styled 'Patriots' for what they are, dangerous, hateful radicals."

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Coming off a season-opening win over rival Belmont, Lipscomb men's soccer travels to Dayton, Ohio to take part in the Dayton Flyer Classic this weekend.

Lipscomb opened their season with a 3-1 win at home over Belmont last weekend. The Bisons looked strong for most of the match and did not allow a goal until the 86th minute. Atlantic Sun Player of the Week, Omar Djabi, scored two goals in the match with the first one being a game-winner.
Eastern Illinois, a member of the Summit League, was picked to finish sixth in the conference. Senior defender/midfielder Jake Plant was picked for the Preseason All-Conference first team, while Tayron Martin, forward, and Connor Bartuch, defender, earned second team honors.
EIU was supposed to begin their season last Friday at Illinois-Chicago, but the game was postponed due to inclement weather.

Jake Heggie's "Moby Dick" is an undeniable success. What a shame its ambitions are so soundly dwarfed by Melville's own, writes James C. Taylor ...
Special to MORE INTELLIGENT LIFE
There is music in Melville's "Moby-Dick". Louis Mumford described the 1851 novel as "Wagnerian" in its "instrumentation", Sartre compared parts of it to Weber's "Die Freischütz"—one critic even called the novel "Beethoven's Eroica in words." Not surprisingly, many composers have tried to bring the voyage of the Pequod to the lyric stage. But like pursuing white whales, adapting "Moby-Dick" into a full-length music drama has long proved futile—until now, to judge from Jake Heggie's new "Moby-Dick" opera, which just concluded its world premiere in Dallas.
The reviews have been overwhelmingly positive; the New York Times proclaimed the opera "opened in a blaze of glory" and "is an undeniable success". It is tempting to join that choir since this "Moby Dick" is a big deal, especially for Dallas Opera, where the $2.7m production was commissioned to draw attention to the company's sleek new $180m Winspear Opera House. And American Opera has long been trying to find its voice. (The last century is littered with ambitious, domestic operas, but few composers have managed to make American English sound appropriately operatic.) Attending the premiere, I was indeed swept up in the entertaining spectacle. Still, I left feeling dissatisfied.
The problem is that while there is music in "Moby-Dick", it is nearly impossible to craft a score that matches the ingenuity and visionary genius of Melville's novel. The book is epic, sure, but not like "Ben-Hur" or "Aida". "Moby-Dick" did for American literature what Wagner's early operas did for German music: it announced to the world that grand, even revolutionary ideas could be expressed in a language and form never experienced before.
Heggie's "Moby Dick", however, signals no such sea change in modern music or dramaturgy. He clearly lacks Ahab-like ambitions to shake society. He just wants to make a hit opera. As a result, his music affirms operatic conventions rather than roiling them. Flowing strings represent calm seas whereas loud orchestral crashes reflect stormy whaling scenes. (Some passages would not have sounded out of place in Philip Sainton's score to the 1956 Hollywood film starring Gregory Peck.)
In this way, Heggie's "Moby Dick" feels much like Charles Gounod's 1859 adaptation of Goethe's "Faust". One of the most popular operas for decades after it premiered, Gounod's "Faust" took all the good story bits and set them to catchy tunes—all the while ignoring the philosophy that made the text an enduring classic. (In Germany, Gounod's "Faust" is sometimes billed as "Marguerite" to distinguish it from Goethe's original; its easy to imagine calling Heggie's opera "Ahab", given the way it rarely sounds the book's philosophical or spiritual depths, and the whale is never really seen.)
What a shame Heggie never really tried to capture in his music the messianic fervour with which Melville wrote "Moby-Dick". With all the white-hot ambition and megalomania on stage, why not a musical parallel? Rhythms that intone "a sharp lance for Samuel Barber!" and chords that cry, "to the last, Giacomo Puccini, I stab at thee!" But unlike Melville, Heggie's artistic temperament is conservative and controlled. This is no doubt why he succeeds in America's world of non-profit commissions—his 2000 debut, "Dead Man Walking", is the most performed American opera in a generation.

More than 100 people camped in tents and lined the sidewalks with lawn chairs and blankets in anticipation of Chick-fil-A opening its newest location in Palm Bay, Local 6 news partner Florida Today reports.
The restaurant passed out samples to those waiting outside of the 1130 Malabar Road location earlier on Wednesday, and 100 people were awarded with 52 coupons, giving them a meal once a week for a year.
Doors opened at 6 a.m. Thursday at the new restaurant.
The Palm Bay Chick-fil-A location is the fifth for Brevard County and was built to resemble a traditional Florida "cracker house," a style favored by city officials for new businesses in Palm Bay.
