Trey Hillman Media Session: Greinke, Anderson
Rain or Shine
Zack Greinke has one win in his last nine starts, so you think he'd be pretty uptight and difficult to be around, right? According to manager Trey Hillman, his star pitcher is the exact same today as he was in April when he was attempting to rewrite the record books. "Zack is exactly the same person right now as he was early in the season, same temperament, demeanor, attitude, work ethic, character. Whether we are winning or losing, you know what you are going to get from Zack. He's a professional who comes to win every time he takes the mound, no matter what his record indicates," Hillman stated.
Anderson in Center
Royals outfielder and newcomer to the team Josh Anderson will take over in centerfield tonight. "We want to see him in center tonight, he's been doing really well in practice and we think he is familiar enough now with the dimensions that it will translate onto the field. It's the right time to see what Josh can do out there in centerfield," Hillman said.

Bills select tackle Mike Williams fourth overall [3:07 PM]
AP reports: 'Williams can play both right and left tackle, and is expected to compete for the starting job to replace veteran John Fina. Such a move would allow the Bills to move newly-acquired free agent lineman Trey Teague to center.'
Peter King - Donahoe fooled no one [2:49 PM]
CNN/SI reports: @ I think I still think Bryant McKinnie will be a better NFL player than Mike Williams, though the Bills got themselves a heck of a player.
I think the reason there haven't been trades in the top five is simple: The teams got married to the players they wanted.
Take the Bills. Tom Donahoe said on ESPN that he never got a call during his time on the clock at No.4 and that's because everyone in the league knew he was sold on Mike Williams and because he couldn't work out the impossible deal with the Raiders that surfaced late in the week. Same with San Diego and Quentin Jammer.
Trade Rumor with Dallas never came through - Dallas never called [2:43 PM]
CNN/SI reports: @ The Cowboys also were said to be entertaining a flop with No. 4 Buffalo if the No. 3 Lions select Joey Harrington. Concerned that the Chargers at No. 5 might take Jammer ahead of them, Dallas would take Jammer at No. 4, and Buffalo would go with North Carolina DT Ryan Sims in the sixth spot.
Bills select Texas OT Williams with 4th pick in NFL draft [2:39 PM]
Sportsticker reports: 'Williams just turned 21 in November, but has plenty of experience playing in big games for the Longhorns. He has been compared favorably to former teammate Leonard Davis of the Arizona Cardinals, the second overall pick in the 2001 draft.'
Mock Draft Comparision [2:36 PM]
ESPN reports: @ ESPN compares three mock drafts posted on their site; Kiper got it wrong regarding Buffalo.
PFW (4/20), Mike Williams
Kiper (4/19), Ryan Sims
ESPN.com (4/17), Mike Williams
Mel Kiper on selection of Mike Williams [2:15 PM]
ESPN reports: I had Williams rated ahead of Bryant McKinnie after the knee injury wasn't viewed as a concern. He could step in at either right or left tackle. At Texas, he protected the blind side of Chris Sims at right tackle, but he has prior experience at left tackle. He is a great pass blocker and is exceptional at sustaining blocks as a run blocker. He is nimble at 375 pounds, often getting downfield to help spring running backs for large gains. He has enough polish to step in and be an immediate starter and anchor on the Bills' offensive line.
Mike Williams Unanimous Choice - no trade considered [1:55 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: The Buffalo Bills kept the fourth pick overall in Saturday's NFL Draft and selected offensive tackle Mike Williams from Texas.
"We didn't receive a phone call while we were on the clock," Donahoe said. "It wouldn't have mattered anyway because we were unanimous in the choice of this young man."
Donahoe believes Williams is an outstanding prospect and talked about upgrading the team's offensive line problems this offseason
Larry Felser has been wrong before .. and is wrong again [1:39 PM]
Empire reports: @ "Conventional wisdom is that the top pick should be an offensive tackle. It won?t happen." Looks like Larry is not as connected as he used to be.
Donahoe says "Stay tuned...." [1:02 PM]
TBD reports: In a post 1st round selection interview, GM Tom Donahoe, responded to a question about a trade for Drew Bledsoe with "Stay tuned....". So, we shall Mr. Donahoe.

NFL.com reports: Joey Harrington was taken by Detriot and shortly later Bills take Mike Williams despite multiple comments from naysayers on his assessement that Mike Williams was a better tackle.
Bills Will Draw Top Card On Draft Day [12:37 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: New Acquisitions Give Buffalo Flexibility
Join us in the TBD War Room! [11:35 AM]
TBD reports: Head on over to the TBD War Room and chat with your fellow Bills fans about the draft! Donahoe and company will surely give fans something to talk about!
Bills' questions may be answered on draft day [9:00 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'But one way or another, the Bills probably will have another quarterback on the roster by the end of the draft Sunday afternoon. "I'd say that's likely," Bills President and General Manager Tom Donahoe said.'
An eye for talent [8:59 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"Scouting is not a math problem where you just add height, weight and speed and divide by the 40 time," Modrak said. "You have to blend it all together."'
Drawing Up A Deal For Drew [6:39 AM]
WIVB-TV reports: 'Do not be surprised if part of the on-going discussions include the Bills and Pats considering swapping first round picks, with New England moving to 4 and the Bills getting Bledsoe and moving down to 32.'
Decision Day for Donahoe [5:29 AM]
D and C reports: 'Donahoe has been holed up in his office at Ralph Wilson Stadium throughout this past week and probably hasn't seen the light of day, let alone felt the warmth of the sun.'
Bills chances of dealing for Bledsoe fade [5:28 AM]
D and C reports: 'The Bills' chances of trading for New England QB Drew Bledsoe seem to be diminishing.'
Bledsoe deal wouldn't top O.J. trade [5:27 AM]
D and C reports: 'Two of the biggest quarterback acquisitions in Bills' history were Jack Kemp and Vince Ferragamo. One huge hit. One huge miss.'
The best and the worst of Bills' drafts [5:26 AM]
D and C reports: '1961 -- Bumper crop included three of the greatest offensive linemen in team history -- Hall of Fame guard Billy Shaw, tackle Stew Barber and center Al Bemiller.'
Bills have greater needs than QB [5:25 AM]
Olean Times Herald reports: 'There was also a need at left offensive tackle, where aging John Fina missed four starts last season due to injury.'
Bills up offer, but Patriots won't bite [5:24 AM]
Boston Globe reports: 'The Patriots have never acted like a team that wanted Bledsoe out of town, regardless of what they got in return. In fact, one source close to the process said the Patriots feel another team will enter the picture today and better Buffalo's proposal, which is why the Patriots thought about the Bills' offer for about 10 minutes before rejecting it.'
Pats nix Bills' deal for Drew [5:23 AM]
Boston Herald reports: 'The Patriots also were flummoxed by the method in which Donahoe made his offer. Instead of calling Pats personnel director Scott Pioli directly, Donahoe faxed the request - and not just to Pioli. The fax went to five machines throughout the team complexes, including one belonging to owner Bob Kraft. It was a highly unusual move in terms of how business is done in the NFL. Most trade talks are conducted on a one-on-one basis over the phone.'
Patriots reportedly turn down Bills' offer [5:22 AM]
Worcester Telegram And Gazette reports: 'The Bills have the fourth overall pick in this year's draft but have said they will not part with that to get Bledsoe. The Patriots are reportedly seeking a first-round pick in exchange for the 30-year-old former franchise quarterback.'
Donahoe not optimistic about Bledsoe trade talks [5:21 AM]
AP reports: '"I'm not overly optimistic that it's going to get done," Bills president Tom Donahoe told Buffalo radio station WNSA on Friday. "I still don't have the sense that they really want to do this, particularly with us. And that may be part of the hangup."'
Blake: Not Bills' answer at QB [5:31 PM]
SI/CNN reports: @ After being briefly courted by Buffalo, Blake has moved on while the Bills continue their bid to trade for New England's Drew Bledsoe, Blake's agent, Ralph Cindrich said, on Friday. "There's nothing there," Cindrich said, referring to the recent interest the Bills showed in Blake.
Patriots ponder Bledsoe [3:46 PM]
Springfield Union News reports: 'If the Patriots do not trade Bledsoe by this weekend's draft, they would be faced with having a frustrated backup quarterback on their roster - one who has not been taking part in the team's off-season conditioning program. They seem willing to do that rather than swap their quarterback for little in return.'
Pats Turn Down Bills' Trade Offer for Bledsoe [3:44 PM]
ESPN reports: '...the Patriots turned down the Bills' latest offer after receiving a faxed proposal on Friday. Buffalo offered a No. 2 pick in 2003, with a clause that would have made it a No. 1 pick in 2003 if Bledsoe started 12 games or if the Bills qualified for the playoffs. The Patriots were not interested because the deal dealt with draft picks for next season, rather than this season.'
Blake doesn't believe he's Bills' answer at QB [1:28 PM]
AP reports: 'After being briefly courted by Buffalo, Blake has moved on while the Bills continue their bid to trade for New England's Drew Bledsoe, Blake's agent, Ralph Cindrich said, on Friday.'

Rafael Nadal has Michael Phelps' back.
The Aussie Open champ was asked about the record-setting Olympian's current PR fiasco in which Phelps was caught on camera holding a bong though he claims he did not smoke any marijuana. A sympathetic Rafa told the press:
It does not portray the best possible image, but everyone can have a slip-up. In the end sportsmen are just not machines. Everyone is free to do whatever they want.
The Spaniard, who met the champion swimmer during his own gold medal-winning run in Beijing last summer, believes Phelps shouldn't be criticized for personal actions taken while on break from competition:
He has been on holiday for some time. He has attained all his goals and he is taking a sabbatical leave and he is totally free to be able to do it. He will have plenty of time to get back and prepare for the coming Games.Agreed. It's troubling from a sponsorship/PR standpoint but that's about it. What he does on his personal time is his choice but he def needs to be more careful about who he hangs out with and what he's doing in front of cameras.
I mean, hello, you're kinda famous.

I always wondered why Phelps found it hard to string a sentence together at Beijing :D

Crazy about Nazie!
Quvenzhané "Nazie" Wallis was born on August 28, 2003, in Houma, Louisiana where she attends Honduras Elementary School. She is the daughter of Venjie and Qulyndreia Wallis, and sister to Qunyquekya, Vejon and Venjie Jr.
Nazie loves reading, singing, dancing, acting and playing her iPod and Nintendo DS. She's a big fan of China McClain, Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus, and her favorite sports are basketball, volleyball, dance and cheerleading.
Here, she talks about the performance that garnered an Oscar nomination as Hushpuppy in Beasts of the Southern Wild, a visually-enchanting modern parable issuing a dire warning about the threat to the planet posed by civilization and corporations if left unchecked.
KW: What type of name is Quvenzhané? I thought it was French, especially since you're from Louisiana, where there are a lot of people with French ancestry.
QW: It's Swahili.
KW: My name is Swahili, too. Kam is short for Kamau.
QW: [To her mother, excitedly] His name is Swahili, too! [To me] What does Kamau mean?
KW: "Quiet warrior." What does your name mean?
QW: My name means "fairy."
KW: May I call you by your nickname, Nazie?
QW: Yes, but it's pronounced "Nay-zee."
KW: Sorry, "Nay-zee." You were only 5, when you auditioned for the role of Hushpuppy. Had you acted or taken acting lessons before?
QW: No.
KW: A lot of scenes were shot on the bayou and around animals like alligators, pigs and chickens. Were you ever afraid, Nazie?
QW: Yes, I was afraid of the pig.
KW: What was it like seeing yourself on the big screen for the first time, after the film was finished?
QW: I was like: "Wow! There is actually a bigger me, but I can handle it." It was something you wouldn't get used to, but I felt smaller, and my voice was smaller, too. So, there was like a bigger me with a smaller voice, and a smaller me with a big voice. It was something I would never have thought would happen that way.
KW: You are the youngest of four kids. Do your sister and big brothers treat you any differently now that you're a movie star?
QW: Nope, they treat me the same way.
KW: Nazie, are you anything like your character, Hushpuppy?
QW: In some ways I am, in some ways I'm not. We both like to go outside and do some things that you wouldn't even think about.
KW: What do you think people will learn from this movie?
QW: That when you're a little kid, you might have to take care of your parents as much as they take care of you. Otherwise, they might get sick, and that's something you don't want to happen.
KW: What do you like to do to have fun?
QW: Ride my bike.
KW: What is your favorite movie?
QW: Happy Feet 2. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B004EPZ0AC/ref=nosim/thslfofire-20
KW: What is your favorite book?
QW: Judy Moody. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0763654116/ref=nosim/thslfofire-20
KW: Have you seen the Judy Moody movie?
QW: No, I don't think so, but I might have seen it at school.
KW: I think you'd remember it if you'd seen it. It's really cool! What do you like to watch on TV?
QW: The Disney Channel.
KW: Which Disney show is your favorite, Nazie?
QW: Jessie.
KW: I heard that you got along with Dwight Henry, who plays your father in Beasts of the Southern Wild, because he gave you a lot of brownies and cupcakes from his bakery the day he had to audition with you.
QW: Yes, but that's not really why I liked him. I liked him because of his personality.
KW: What is your favorite food to eat?
QW: Jambalaya… No, stir-fry.
KW: If you could have one wish instantly granted, what would that be for?
QW: To be a wizard.
KW: Like Harry Potter?
QW: No, like a wizard on The Wizards of Waverly Place. It's another show I like on the Disney Channel.
KW: What is your earliest childhood memory?
QW: I can't remember that far back, only to auditioning when I was 5 years-old.
KW: If you were an animal, what animal would you be?
QW: I would like to be a penguin and a leopard.
KW: What do you want to be when you grow up, an actress or something else?
QW: A dentist.
KW: Who is your hero?
QW: My mom.
KW: What advice do you have for anyone who wants to follow in your footsteps?
QW: I don't know, but I would say you have to be nice to people you meet.
KW: It must be hard for a kid to have to do a lot of interviews when you might like to be out playing.
QW: Yes, it's very hard for a kid to deal with.

Honda says it is recalling more than 820,000 Civic compact cars and Pilot SUVs because the headlights can fail.
The recall affects Civics from the 2002 and 2003 model years and Pilots from 2004 and 2005.
The company says wires connecting a switch that controls the headlights and turn signals can overheat and melt, knocking out the low-beam headlights.
No crashes or injuries have been reported from the problem.
Honda says it will fix the wiring for free. The company began sending notices to owners in late September.
The Civics and Pilots were added to a similar recall announced in March. That recall affected more than 550,000 CR-V small SUVs from the 2002 through 2004 model years and Pilots from 2003.

Thought some of you might be interested in this. If I were a Cyclone fan, I'd only watch the beginning (in the locker room) and the ending (in the locker room) and skip the cinematic highlights in between. The video editors put together highlights of OSU's best plays, and it will probably irritate you a bit.
Primarily, I thought you would be interested in what Gundy says in the locker room after the game.
2012 Iowa State at Oklahoma State Cinematic Highlights - YouTube
Good luck this week.
"Got even" is the gist of video.
Man, you can really see how much this game meant to them.
I knew it was there Super Bowl.
I've always liked Gundy. He is just a classy guy who wants the best for his players. If it was ISU last year with the record on the line and losing to a team at the end of the year I'd prefer Okie State over anyone else because of the type of guy he is. Also this goes to show that it is all coach talk when they said the loss from last year is not on their mind.
I guess by getting even, we would have gone to championship game if we only had beat them?

We screwed them out of a national championship they will NEVER get truly EVEN.

Unless they beat us next year when we are making our championship run.
So, they were super pumped and aggressive to play us. Not an excuse for the pathetic performance the ISU offense displayed that day.

you forgot the pirate
That's one hell of a locker room.

That was exactly my thought watching this video. Sure helps to have a billionaire within the program.

Well when you have an oil-tycoon for an alum.
i HATE losing to any big 12 team...if i HAVE to choose to lose to one...Okie State.
He's a 40 year old man, he can take it!

Hi everyone.
After a while digging wiki and forum, i has been able to install Zimbra Open Source version into my computer. I already able to create account, send and receive mail between accounts.
But now i need to do some stress test on mail server. I'm thinking of using postfix stress test which they provide but because of conflict with zimbra-mta, i switch to Mail Injection Stress Test - Wiki.
I already create a file name "lmtp_injector_conf" with batch size of 1000 at first ( will increase more later which match our company ) . List user has 5 account which newly create. I login those account to test send, receive mail and confirm there no problem.
I create a file "lmtp_injector" in the same folder as the one above. Its content is the same as in wiki page.
For running, input in terminal :
( Wiki site use sec which is not correct format, should correct it soon as well as the code for restart dnsmasq in split_dns )Code:./lmtp_injector 10/second
The code running without any error message. Target count increased as intent ( 10 mail per second ) but actual stay unchanging at 0.
Check in admin console as well as any of those 5 account i put in config file, but there aren't any mail or spam.
So i want to ask if there anything i missed here while creating those file? Like for example disable spam filter ( there some config need to change when using stress test with postfix but didnt see any here )
Edit : Forgot to say that i used newest version Zimbra 8. Wiki page only test with version 7. So is there any change between these 2 which can make it fail ?

I'm running Blackberry professional 4.1.4.X - I don't see any newer released version (or mention of a newer version) on RIM's site - am I missing something here?
Also, the release notes say that Windows Server 2003 R2 is not supported? I've been running BES on this platform for over a year now with ZCS 5.x. We recently upgraded to v6, but I'm nervous to upgrade the BES connector to v6 if this will be an issue.
Is anyone running BES + ZCB on R2 that can comment?

War of northern aggression
Sudan | It's been almost two years since Sudan divided into two countries, but the problems of political Islam and ethnic cleansing won't go away
"War of northern aggression" Continued...
Many bystanders believed that the successful 2011 partition of Sudan into two countries would end the African nation's long civil war and attendant atrocities. By demarcating the country along borders that roughly reflected its Islamic, Arab north from its black African, Christian, and animist south—and creating a country now officially known as South Sudan—the thinking was that the two countries could perhaps live at peace, their racial and religious divides now traced and protected by an internationally recognized border and two separate governments. Yasir Arman was never a believer.
Arman—a long-standing leader of the South's rebel army, the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM), and a close confidant of its legendary leader, John Garang—has argued for years that the "northern question" was the one that had to be resolved, not the "southern question."
For too long everyone has tried to figure out what to do about the South, he told me recently, how to separate and protect its people from Islamic aggression: "The international community hasn't been willing to talk about what to do about the North, what to do about the problem of political Islam."
Arman is himself a Muslim. But he's no friend of the Islamic regime based in Khartoum, and serves as secretary-general of SPLM-North, the rebel movement operating within Sudan to carry on the quest embodied by Garang, who died in a 2005 helicopter crash. Arman is one of a number of Muslims who fought and served under Garang, a Christian, sharing his vision for preserving Sudan's diversity within a democratic state that respects human rights and the rule of law.
"Political Islam is going to divide Africa," said Arman. "What we have been fighting for over 20 years you now see dividing Egypt, Mali, Nigeria, and Somalia."
Leaving the "northern question" unresolved has left in power for two decades President Omar al-Bashir, who has sheltered terrorists like Osama bin Laden and is an indicted war criminal before the International Criminal Court at The Hague. Not surprisingly, the conflict and atrocities once visited on the South are escalating in the North—particularly in the ethnically and religiously diverse border states of South Kordofan and Blue Nile.
For the last 18 months those states, home to over 2.5 million Sudanese, have endured aerial bombardments by their own government and military incursions that have driven more than 200,000 people, according to Arman, from their homes. On the ground, armed conflict between government forces and Arman's SPLM-North prompted Bashir to block outside humanitarian aid—and led to charges that the government there has engaged in ethnic cleansing, and perhaps genocide.
"Ethnic cleansing is largely complete," concluded former top UN official Mukesh Kapila after a January fact-finding trip to the two states. "Rebel areas are depopulated and largely empty."
In Blue Nile, Kapila found fields and villages razed, he said. He heard the local population described on Sudanese state radio as "black plastic bags" that had to be cleared from the area. He estimates 450,000 people in Blue Nile affected by the government's campaign against them.
In South Kordofan, Kapila told reporters, he saw people "living in caves and cracks and eating once every three days." With sustained bombing of the Nuba Mountains area, and the government blockade on aid, disease and malnutrition are multiplying. "We saw people sitting at the side of the road, with too little energy to even become refugees, who have given up," Kapila told the Agence France-Presse news service.
On Jan. 31 Kapila and Baroness Caroline Cox, who accompanied Kapila on the trip and is a member of Britain's Parliament and a longtime advocate for Sudanese Christians, presented a formal report to Aegis Trust in London. Aegis monitors humanitarian crises around the world and could issue a genocide warning for the area in coming weeks.
Conflict in the two-state area began in mid-2011 when Sudan's military seized Abyei, a disputed border town. Fighting spread to South Kordofan and Blue Nile, states with a diverse mix of Christians and Muslims and varied tribes, all opposing the political makeup forced on them by the Sudanese government as South Sudan gained independence. At the same time Bashir announced his intent to "strengthen Islamic law" with an Islamic constitution, prompting angry demonstrations even in Khartoum, Sudan's capital.
With mass starvation and exodus in the border areas, thousands fled into South Sudan. That didn't halt aerial bombardments from the North. In November 2011 international journalists were on hand when Khartoum's military aircraft fired directly into Yida refugee camp in South Sudan. And humanitarian workers have confirmed over 40 aerial assaults on South Sudan camps housing the North's refugees.
Even at that time the UN Mission in Sudan warned of war crimes—targeted attacks on civilians in Nuba, mass graves, burned houses, torched crops, and forced displacement. Sudan's armed forces and Bashir's National Congress Party denied the allegations and defended the use of force as a legitimate response to what it called an armed rebellion. Today, said Arman, "The civilian population has been cleared out just like we saw in Darfur."
Kapila, who served as the UN Humanitarian Coordinator in Sudan during that crisis, agrees: "What's happened over the last two odd years … is basically exactly the same tactics as Darfur except in the interim period the technology of war has improved," he told the Reuters news service late last month. Attacks in Sudan's western region of Darfur, starting 10 years ago and leading to the killing or displacement of over 2 million Sudanese, is what led to Bashir's indictment before the International Criminal Court.
Arman travelled to Washington and New York last month, seeking to renew U.S. and UN engagement on the unfolding crisis. He was joined by Malik Aggar, another longtime leader in the SPLM and also a Muslim. Aggar was the elected governor of Blue Nile state until Bashir's forces drove him out in 2011.
The two gave briefings on Capitol Hill, at the State Department, and with the president's National Security advisory staff. In New York they met with European and U.S. diplomats, including the Sudanese-born UN special representative Francis Deng. Their message: Countries that played a significant role in negotiating the 2005 peace agreement, particularly the United States, should follow through on seeing the pact adhered to and strengthened.
"This is not a problem of Nuba and not a problem of Blue Nile. It's a problem of Khartoum," Arman told me.
The SPLM-North contingent may win attention from the Obama administration over the humanitarian crisis, but is less likely to engage it on the larger political challenges.
Bashir appears weak—another aging Arab dictator faced with a stagnant economy and vocal, mounting resentment across Sudan. Washington isn't looking for another Arab Spring-type revolution. And President Obama hasn't publicly endorsed such political transitions until they are a fait accompli. But with Islamic insurgencies spreading across Africa's northern tier, the "northern question" Arman raises for Sudan isn't going away.
The good news
Outside medical help and buckets of water are crucial ingredients to easing a refugee crisis
Maban County in South Sudan is just across the border from what's being called the world's worst humanitarian crisis, the ethnic cleansing unfolding in Sudan's South Kordofan and Blue Nile states. The county's two dominant tribes, the Maban and the Uduk, are predominantly Christian, tracing their conversions to mission stations set down by SIM, plus others, starting about 80 years ago. SIM, then operating as Sudan Interior Mission, started a hospital in Maban County at Doro in the 1930s. In recent years it's been reopened and staffed by SIM workers, along with visiting medical teams.
The challenges to running a hospital in rural South Sudan, where there are no roads or electricity, are daunting enough. But now the county has four refugee camps taking in the displaced from the Nuba Mountains, Blue Nile, and elsewhere. Total population of the camps, according to the latest UN figures: 110,000.
Even so, with the worsening humanitarian crisis come glimmers of good news. Last month aid workers expected 1,000 new refugees from Blue Nile, but only about 300 showed up. Mostly women and children, they arrived in better shape than expected.
Outpatient numbers at Doro are down by half, said a health worker there who is not named for security reasons. That's largely due to lower-than-usual transmissions of malaria. International aid groups have set up clinics within the camps that are helping to improve what a year ago was a dismal healthcare outlook in the county.
The spiritual outlook is improving, too. Many churches have been planted among the refugee camps. At a recent "baptismal Sunday" service, pastors set up 25 buckets of water beneath the trees. Three men manned each bucket, two with plastic cups and one with a towel. A choir sang, and a pastor preached, and hundreds came forward to the buckets two by two—men and women, boys and girls. When the service ended, church leaders had baptized more than 1,300 refugees. —M.B.

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — A task force created to train more primary health care providers for rural areas of South Dakota says health professions' education programs should work more closely together and that training opportunities in rural areas should be expanded.
Those are the recommendations that the Governor's Primary Care Task Force presented to Gov. Dennis Daugaard.
The group was created in May to figure out how to train more health care providers for rural areas of the state.
The 25-member task force has also recommended that Daugaard appoint an oversight committee to monitor progress and report to him, the Board of Regents and the Legislature.

10/27/2008, Powel Cay
About a week ago I took shelter at another uninhabited island called Powell Cay. It has beautiful beaches where we discovered many of these large bright colored starfish. About 2 miles across the sea of Abaco from Powell lies the settlement of Cooperstown. I tried to go there to spend the night but it was so windy and wavy that it would have been unsafe, not to mention uncomfortable, to anchor on that lee shore. After Powel the weather kept getting steadily worse. I've been quite amazed at how many days the weather can be rough in the Bahamas, a place that most people think of as calm and idyllic. I'm sure it can be that, but some years are different than others. When it comes to cruising in sailboats you have to take the bad with the good. I've had cruising adventures where the weather was perfect the entire time and now I've had adventures where the weather was mostly rough. All part of growing as a sailor.
It is morning at the Old Bahama Bay Marina. There is more sun than I've seen in a while but the wind is still pretty strong from the north. It would not have been very pleasant at anchor off the beach but we had a calm, uneventful night here. The dogs hung out on deck all night but never went off the boat even though they could easily have done so. Two nights ago I was anchored off Mangrove Cay, a small uninhabited island about 20 miles from the nearest settlement. When I took the dogs to shore in the morning the tide had come up and there was no shore. We had to wade through about 20 feet of mangrove roots to get to a patch of dirt so that the dogs could do their thing. Jake took off into the dense undergrowth and scared me half to death as it would be very easy to get lost and disoriented on such an island. Dingied back to the sailboat in the pouring rain with an exquisite view of the sunrise in the distance. Then the north winds started and we had to move to a more protected anchorage on the other side of the small island. After pulling up the anchor I determined that the conditions were no worse for a 5 hour motorsail to West End than staying and hanging out at anchor for another day, so we went for it. It wasn't easy, but we made it here.
10/26/2008, Grand Cay
While stuck in Grand Cay due to the weather I became more a part of the community. Among other routines, every night I went to this same plywood BBQ shack on the top of the hill. The ribs were excellent and cheap. $10 for everything in the picture. Believe it or not, the Bahamians eat sea turtles. It is considered very good eating here. The first time I saw someone taking one home by the flipper I felt horrible. Wanted to buy it off of him and put it back into the water. But he seemed so proud to be taking it home to his family. The smaller dish on the left is one way they prepare turtle. Evidently turtle steaks are very good. The stewed turtle wasn't bad at all, but I still didn't much care for it. I gave it to the dogs for breakfast and dinner.
Jake and Anne have been so good on this trip. They really deserve some recognition. I've put them through conditions that a lot of humans couldn't handle and they've adapted often better than I. The dogs (especially Jake) usually sleep on passages. They only get up to move when the boat changes directions relative to the sun and shade.
They make really good, sweet fresh bread daily on many of the inhabited islands. If you look closely you can see the coconut husks on the left side. The coconut in the coconut bread is as fresh as can be.
10/26/2008, West End, Grand Bahama
Until this trip pretty much all of my cruising was in light weather (except for that wild sailing trip with Matt from San Carlos, Mexico and a few other choice sailing experiences). This trip I've had rainy, windy, and/or wavy weather most of the time. It hasn't been easy, but I've definitely gained a lot of experience that will help me considerably in future cruising. We arrived at the Old Bahama Bay marina this afternoon after a hard two-day slog from Grand Cay, where we spent two or three days holed up from more bad weather. Its been cold front after cold front for weeks. Eventually I just had to head out in the rough weather or go stir crazy. The boat can take a lot more than we can. Turns out between 15 and 20 knots is great sailing weather. More than that and things can get nasty. I've had more than my share of high 20s and 30s in the last few weeks. The worst winds sometimes hit in the early mornings. On one occasion my foresail came a bit loose at anchor and was flogging back and forth so hard I thought the boat would shake apart before I got it secured at like 3 in the morning in howling winds. Try getting back to sleep after that. But we made it to West End and I'm docked at a marina for the first time ever. Another night rocking and rolling at anchor was too much. It's so still here. Feels great. No need to dingy ashore in rough conditions. We just step up to the dock. I had dinner at the restaurant. Fried Snapper, fresh veggies, and peas and rice. Internet. Bathrooms and showers a short walk away. Laundry machines and dryers close at hand. Heaven. I'm stuck in this place for perhaps another 3 or 4 days before we get a window to cross back to Florida.

Salt give me high blood pressure. I never eat the stuff. Which is why I don't eat jerky.
Natures Valley crunchy oat and honey granola bars and lots of water. I can live on those things for a week if I had to. I do love bacon. heck I raise my own hogs. But the salt makes me extreamly thirsty. Could be that I never add salt to a meal,just don't like salt shaken on anything. OK if it's used in the preperation,but not from a shaker. I think therefore I'm a little sensitive to the stuff. I'd damn near kill for a piece of crispy bacon though. Sucks that it dries me out.
Salt give me high blood pressure. I never eat the stuff. Which is why I don't eat jerky.
Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are a staple for me when hunting. If I can take a thermos of coffee , I will take that too. PB & J is great with coffee. The trick to keeping the sandwich from getting too soggy is to put peanut butter on both slices of bread, then the jelly or jam doesn't soak into bread quite as bad. I also like the toasted almond granola bars from Natures Valley. Water is must, and sometimes I'll take a couple packets of flavor packets for a bottle of water. All depends on hunt situation thought, but PB&J is always with me. We always have plenty of home made jam on hand, tastes better when you've made it!
This is a old thread but thought it would be good to resurrect it.
Anything new out there to add to this list?
I don't Break the rules, I Modify them.
Love fiber plus bars and nature valley almond granola bars. Nutri grain strawberry granola bars are good also. Love having sun flower seeds also.
But when your out in the middle of the state, any kind of food tastes good!

I try and mix it up from day to day. Here some ideas that I have taken Pistachio nuts, apples, pepperoni , some trail mix, usually something with a little sugar for an energy boost like tootsie pop sucker, use to take smoked oyster in the can but not so much any more, sometimes a bagel I never take soda I always prefer water.
My wife and i stick mostly to the Primal Diet. It's easiest to define this diet by what you don't eat, but I prefer to define something with its' positives.
We eat a lot of meat and vegetables, some fruit and nuts, and limit dairy (although I can tear up some 2-3 year aged Gouda). I don't eat sugar, grain - including bread, pasta, and basically ALL processed foods.
The point of this diet is to maintain steady blood sugar and insulin levels throughout the day, resulting in steady energy levels, better focus, no brain fog after lunch, etc.
I try to stick to it while hunting and backpacking as well. I eat a lot of jerky (my own recipe - you can limit salt and preservatives) almonds, pecans, walnuts, dried fruit, dehydrated sweet potatoes, etc. I like Lara bars and Kind bars as well, and for really hard physical exertion I pack GU gels to supplement.
I'm sure I mentioned it somewhere back in this thread but you can't beat a peanut butter and bacon sandwich when up on the mountain. Definitely my go to.
I got hooked on the honeystinger waffles and bars last year!! Its like a addiction!!

Volunteer scout
Military | Kitty Millard has become an expert at tracking down Vietnam veterans and reuniting them with long-lost buddies
On Oct. 10, 1968, Dennis Pfaff led a patrol of U.S. soldiers through the rice paddies of Vietnam's Chu Lai area. The men of Bravo Company 4th/21st, 11th Light Infantry Brigade avoided the footpaths and dirt tracks that passed for roads for fear of tripping a land mine. One misstep could take a leg or a life.
The men waded as far as they could through the water before they had to climb up on the bank near the site of an earlier explosion that foundered a tank but injured no one. But when the patrol reached the site of the first explosion, another mine went off.
Pfaff was wounded but the two men behind him, Bill and Jerry, took the brunt of the blast. Pfaff managed to drag himself back to Bill's side before realizing his friend was dead. A piece of shrapnel to the heart quickly drained his life. But Jerry was conscious, in pain, and scared.
"I'll never forget the scream, the terror he was going through," Pfaff recalled. The unit evacuated Jerry to a hospital where he survived surgery but not the night.
The men's deaths haunted Pfaff for 38 years, through marriages and divorces, bouts of drinking and anxiety. Immediately after the explosion, Pfaff thought Bill had tripped the mine wire. But in the confusion of the aftermath, he convinced himself his foot set off the blast that left so much destruction behind. Until he met Kitty Millard, Pfaff believed he would go to his grave carrying the guilt for that explosion.
Pfaff learned from a friend, also a Vietnam vet, that Millard was looking for him. The 76-year-old widow, grandmother, and Bible study teacher spends her days scouring archived military logs, local libraries, census reports, and the internet to find Vietnam veterans, a voluntary task she considers an honor. Her search for Pfaff started as a hunt for another soldier from the same company. Once she found the first soldier, Millard continued her search for more. Pfaff ended up as one of 500 men from the Bravo Company 4th/21st that Millard helped find. Those efforts culminated in the group's first reunion in April 2006.
Today, veterans revere Millard for her ability to locate long-lost friends starting with only minimal clues. But back then, she was just getting started.
In 1999, Millard helped her husband Bob update his West Point Academy class roster. Four years later, a woman recalled that work and asked Millard to find the chaplain who officiated her husband's funeral in 1969. The woman also wanted to find the man who served as her husband's forward officer during the war. Millard, who has never met a stranger, used her vast network of friends and acquaintances to find the men. Word about her uncanny ability to find people spread. Others soon started asking Millard to find long-lost friends, family, and veterans. During the last seven years, Millard has accounted for—dead or alive—at least 2,000 Vietnam vets. Those who reconnect by phone or email often choose to meet face-to-face. The ensuing reunions have become a source of unexpected healing, rekindled friendships, and renewed memories.
"I think she saved my life," Pfaff said. "She certainly made a tremendous change."
Pfaff hadn't talked to anyone from his days in Vietnam for 30 years. But he decided to go to the reunion, curious to see how his fellow soldiers had fared in life. While retelling his story, Pfaff realized memories are best recalled through the filter of other witnesses. One of the other men that took part in the patrol that day also recalled the incident, only differing from Pfaff's account in one very important detail.
"Stop beating yourself up," the man told him. "You didn't trip the booby trap. Bill did."
A second, unrelated conversation, confirmed the man's account. Although Pfaff still felt a sense of responsibility to the men he led, the revelation that he was not directly responsible for their deaths helped dispel some of the guilt and anger he had carried for all those years.
Millard attended the Bravo Company reunion and called it "glorious." Pfaff told her the night he found out what really happened during that patrol, he slept like a baby for the first time since returning from the war.
Since then, Millard has attended many reunions, facing her fear of flying to travel across the country to meet the men she has only known through email and phone conversations. She's often hailed as the guest of honor. The experience is humbling for a woman who admits knowing little about the Vietnam War prior to her association with the veterans. During the 1960s, other issues of national importance occupied her mind. Millard's home in Nassau Bay, Texas, is part of a bigger community that serves NASA's Johnson Space Center and its spaceflight contractors. Her husband, who died last year, worked in the fledgling space industry, which provided a distraction from the conflict overseas.
"It was so far away and we were so busy putting men on the moon," she said. "It was the heyday of the era."
When Millard first started searching for Vietnam veterans, they were not much more than names on a page. But as she learned more about the conflict and met the men who served there, Millard grew to care deeply for the men and their families. She often asks them about their faith, prays with them, and encourages them to encourage one another. She's seen some men quit drinking and others marry girlfriends they've been living with for years. Some have even accepted Christ.
Millard is usually the one looking for the veterans. But in a reversal of roles, Vincent "Jersey" Scapellato, of Vineland, N.J., sought out Millard in 2009. She laughed remembering his email. He wanted her to find the soldier who had helped him to a waiting helicopter after he'd been shot. But he only had a date and a nickname—Porky.
Unlike 21st-century soldiers, who deploy and return as a unit, many Vietnam vets went overseas as a group of draftees to serve until their individual time was up or they were wounded, whichever came first. They often knew each other only by nicknames or first names. War zone extractions like Scapellato's severed ties hastily and, most often, permanently.
On Feb. 22, 1970, Scapellato took point as his platoon patrolled the jungles of Chu Lai. His friend, Joe, led another platoon on the opposite bank of a river. The region was a free-fire zone, an area where soldiers were authorized to shoot first and ask questions later.
In the dense tropical brush Scapellato heard someone approaching. "I just opened up with my M16 and emptied the magazine," he said. He thought he was shooting at Viet Cong.
Moments later, Scapellato took a bullet to the knee in a barrage of return fire—friendly fire. The second platoon, unbeknownst to Scapellato, had doubled back on his side of the river. Despite emptying his magazine, Scapellato didn't hit any of his fellow soldiers, but the bullet he took came from Joe.
Scapellato's lieutenant, known only as Porky, put the injured infantryman on his back and carried him to a medical evacuation helicopter. The last thing he remembered after being strapped to the transport was waving down to his platoon as the chopper rose and carried him to what would be four months of medical treatment in Vietnam, Japan, and the United States. He never saw his buddies again. He never said goodbye. And he never told Porky "thank you."
Years later, Scapellato still thought about that debt of gratitude he owed. But how would he find a man named Porky almost 40 years removed from the jungles of Vietnam? If anyone could find him, Millard could, other vets assured him. But Scapellato had his doubts.
"There's no way she'll be able to find this guy," he recalled thinking after contacting Millard.
In addition to all of the standard research tools Millard had at her disposal, she also had her own database of information gleaned from years of research, including a growing network of new acquaintances. She also just happened to have a copy of a casualty list from 1970. Millard found another injured soldier from Scapellato's unit, Bravo Company 4th/3rd, 11th Light Infantry Brigade, and called him to ask about Porky.
"I really think I have God's help," Millard said. "I'll find some weird little tidbit and it turns out that it leads to the person I'm searching for."
A few days after Scapellato emailed her, Millard wrote him to say that she had found Porky, aka Gary Renner, of California. Scapellato was stunned. Millard's search for Porky ended up locating about 400 men from the unit.
The group's October 2009 reunion in St. Louis not only reconnected Scapellato with good friends but also brought a surprising revelation. Since the day he was shot, Scapellato believed he had made a critical error that almost cost him his life and that of his friend. But at the reunion, he discovered the other platoon had doubled back without notifying anyone. He had no way to know he was firing on his fellow soldiers.
Earlier this year, members of Charlie Company 5th/46th, 198th Light Infantry Brigade met for a reunion in Nashville, Tenn. They invited Millard to express their gratitude for her work. Ed Arndt, a retired Nashville accountant, helps organize what has become an annual event. He enlisted Millard's help in tracking down hard-to-find veterans like Mike Ayers. Arndt had been looking for the former soldier since 1973. Through an internet search, Millard found almost a dozen men with that name. Phones calls to each finally scored the right one.
"He was the greatest find," Arndt said. "There were 10-15 of us who were really close at Ft. Hood. The great thing is when Kitty finds guys for us, you get to talk to them and know they're OK. You just don't talk about [Vietnam] to anyone else."
Doug Dowson attended the Nashville reunion, his second. He was one of Millard's "finds" and remembered the call he received from her three years ago. It caught him off guard. "Wow," he remembered thinking. "Somebody has an interest in us."
Millard uses the same script for the thousands of phone calls she has made. The call to Dowson went something like this:
Dowson: Hello.
Millard: Is this Doug Dowson of Charlie Company 5th/46th, 198th Light Infantry Brigade who served in Vietnam from September 1968 to September 1969?
Dowson: Yes.
Millard: Welcome home and thank you for your service to your country.
After that the responses vary from stunned silence to "Are you with Veterans Affairs?"
"No," she replies. "I'm just a normal housewife."
A normal housewife whose unusual service has brought peace and comfort to thousands of men still suffering from a 40-year-old war.
"My purpose is to help them heal from the traumatic experiences they had," Millard said. "I can listen to them so they can go on with their lives."

Hello people First timer here. I've used photoshop for a long time, but not very much for the last couple years. Recently I've had the desire to draw out maps, so I finally started attempting to create one in Photoshop. Looked up a few tutorials last night, had a bit of trouble following them with some bits, but I was able to somewhat learn how to shape the land.
Here's what I've got to start with at the moment:
Any tips on how to easily clean up edges is also appreciated
Edit: I may change the left land mass around a bit, I don't like how round it appears. Also, there's a few little ridiculous things, such as the 2 skulls, also the dog/panda looking face that I may get rid of. Although the skulls I think look cool, it's probably not too realistic. But I suppose that's the point of a fantasy map
I also want to add more detail all around. With less detail it doesn't look as large as I intend for it to be. Maybe it just looks that way because there's no features on it yet.
I'd like to learn how to make simple & clean, varying mountains, forests, rivers etc. I've looked around a bit and tried a few things but didn't turn out as I had hoped (or I couldn't get it to work at all), but if anyone has any tutorials to share that aren't too complicated, it would be much appreciated! Thanks!

The color looks really great!!
Thanks! The style of mountains/forests etc. I'm looking for is something like these:
I couldn't find out how to make my own mountains/forests, but I found a few pre-made brushes that were posted up on this site that I was using. I'm going to get my hands on a tablet tomorrow so hopefully I can draw my own and not be so restricted. I like the look of the mountains, so hopefully I can match them decently when I draw my own. If not perhaps I'll just start over with my own mountains, or just continue on using the brushes. It's tedious but oh well.
Still lots to do though, lots of mountains/forests to complete. Once I figure out where I want all of them and finish, I'm going to work on the rivers. Next is meadows/grasslands, and then perhaps wastelands/deserts.
Pretty satisfied with the look of it thus far considering my lack of experience :3

Bit more work done, tossed in a few rivers as well. Figured it'd be more important than forests/mountains. Easier to form the mountains/forests around the rivers I suppose.
Not sure an easy way to represent plains and deserts. Tried drawing tiny cactuses but I thought it looked cheesy.
Trying to make things look as natural as possible and not so uniform/fake. Hopefully I've done a fair job at it so far
You're actually thinking backwards about the rivers and mountains – rivers start in the mountains and their flow is dictated by the height of the land, so even though it's absolutely possible to build mountain ranges around rivers, it tends to look more natural if it's drawn in the same order as nature does it. And forests grow where the land is watered by rivers, so they would be added last, to not end up with a forest in the middle of a desert.
That said, your map looks good! Interesting land shape and nice colors.
The rivers are a little bit iffy. Be careful of having a tributary join a river at a right or obtuse angle; erosion usually causes a tributary to join at an acute downstream angle. Also, there is a lot of meandering going on, especially in the top central section of the map. How much a river meanders is typically directly correlated with the steepness of the terrain, so the impression I'm getting is that the lands are pretty flat and close to sea level everywhere except for the suddenly steep mountains. I would expect that one extremely squiggly and loopy river would just erode its boundaries and turn into a fen or swamp.
For deserts, the simplest strategy is probably a pattern of random dots, maybe with a couple sand dunes thrown in there.
Keep up the good work.
Ah, alright thanks for the advice! Guess I got some research to do on rivers I wish I could better draw my own mountains and forests and what not. I tried with the tablet here but I was terrible at it hehe.
Edit: I skimmed through a post here about rivers the other day actually. I tried making most of the rivers begin from a mountain range and end in the ocean. There's a few random rivers that don't have anything around them yet, I just haven't gotten around to adding anything there.

For rivers and mountains lay out trainning I recomend you spend some time praticing Wilbur.
Dat program is amazing making you spend time studing a right topography, also help you to define some randon border shapes.

Light & Motion Stella 600 Dual Light $0.00
Riding at night in the city or on the trail can feel a little like playing Russian roulette when you are riding with inadequate lights. Ok, that 25 lumen light has done its job by flashing hopelessly so cops don't pull you over, but it is time to step up your game. Take the guess work out of hitting rocks or potholes by being equipped with the Light & Motion Stella 600 Dual Light. These dual lights provide plenty of light for cruising the streets or hitting some weeknight singletrack. Kicking out a full 600 lumens, you will have plenty of light for a midnight hammer-fest.
The Stella 600 has us questioning why we didn't start using this light sooner. The universal, rubber mounting system lets you move the lights from bike to bike without needing to adjust them for different bar diameters. Three light settings let you decide if you need the full 600 lumens or dim the lights a little to preserve battery life. The batter lasts nine hours on low, four hours on medium, and two hours on high. With two and a half hour charging time, you can plug the Stella in before dinner and be ready to roll out with your late night ride group.
The Light & Motion Stella 600 Dual Light comes with a battery pack, charger, and mounts. They are available in Root Beer and Red.

I understand the light uses a notched rubber strap system to secure the light to the handlebars. My mountain bike has standard size handlebars, but my road bike has the FSA carbon bars with a circumference of 4 3/4 (4.75) inches. Is this strap large enough to fit on my road bike?

How come you are selling the dual light with the 2-cell battery and the single Stella with the 3-cell? The Light and Motion has them packaged the other way around. I'm not going to put two headlights on my helmet and a 3-cell battery is going to weigh to much to do the same. What gives with the switch on the batteries?

The Light and Motion website says the Stella 600 comes with a 3 cell battery for the rated burn time of 2.5 hours on high. The description here says it is a 2 cell battery - which is it?
It comes with their double cell battery that, they say, lasts only 1.5 hours on high. The double cell is the one comes with their single headlight models like the stella 200.

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Road Tubular Tires in stock than that.View Similar Products
Vittoria Crono Evo CS Tire - Tubular $0.00
For the race of truth, leave nothing to chance. Your equipment as well as your training should be optimized before you even climb the stairs to the start house. Vittoria's Crono Evo CS Tubular Tire is their lightest offering, and it's made for those days when you must go as fast as possible, alone.
The Corespun T 320 tpi casing is handmade using the finest polyester thread, overspun with cotton. This particular casing is crafted to bear the high pressures typical when minimal rolling resistance is the number one goal. That said, the high density fabric is coated in natural latex rubber, creating a supple and responsive tire that absorbs energy and rebounds from irregularities in the road surface, again minimizing resistance. The same can be said for the natural latex tube inside the Crono Evo CS Tubular Tire. It's widely accepted that latex tubes are faster, saving you a few watts to maintain a given speed. When seconds count, details like these add up to a winning combination.
Vittoria's Kevlar SiO₂ rubber compound blends minimal rolling resistance with excellent traction and durability thanks to its high silica content and percentage of microscopic Kevlar particles. And where many ultra-lightweight TT tires forego any sort of puncture resistant breaker under the tread, the Crono Evo CS Tubular Tire has no such weakness. After all, we can't always race on freshly paved courses fit for Tour contenders, and Vittoria's PRB (puncture resistant belting) nylon layer may make the difference between a personal best or walking back to the start line.
The Vittoria Crono Evo CS Tubular Tire is available in 700 x 22c only. It has a Black tread and comes with a 42mm alloy valve stem.
- PRB puncture-resistant belting prevents waiting for the wheelcar
- KEVLAR® Si02 3D Compound for a super-supple road feel
- Latex innertube offers better elasticity and puncture protection
- Recommended 115-200 PSI (8/14 bar)
- 42mm full RVC alloy valve

We have three key priorities areas of work:
Our priorities
IUCN aims to mobilize the communities working for biodiversity conservation, sustainable development and poverty reduction in common efforts to halt biodiversity loss and apply nature-based solutions to global challenges.
Valuing and conserving nature
Biological diversity ('biodiversity') is essential for human well-being. Its elements – ecosystems, genes and species – sustain the life support systems of this planet.
Biodiversity provides food security, human health, clean air and water; contributes directly to local livelihoods and economic development. Yet, despite its fundamental importance for life on this planet, it continues to be lost.
Better knowledge about biodiversity, the threats it faces and the conservation measures that can be taken, help drive action. IUCN has a long history of providing credible and trusted knowledge on biodiversity, notably through the expertise of the Species Survival Commission (SSC) and the World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA).
Our focus is generating knowledge that directly leads to policy influence and conservation action on the ground. A key priority is to expand the taxonomic coverage of the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species by assessing plants, invertebrates and fungi to make it truly representative of biodiversity as a whole.
The IUCN Red List of Threatened Ecosystems will complement the information provided by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species and will help embed conservation into land use planning and national development.
As well as promoting the economic values of biodiversity, IUCN will continue to promote the cultural and other intangible values of nature. As The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB) study shows, it will be more expensive to continue with business as usual than to deal with the consequences of further biodiversity loss. IUCN promotes the incorporation of biodiversity values into development and planning as well as into private sector and government accounting systems.
IUCN has a long history of working with the biodiversity related conventions - in particular, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the World Heritage Convention and the Convention on the International Trade of Endangered Species. IUCN is continually asked by governments to help implement these conventions and their policies.
Fair and effective governance of nature's use
Natural resource governance is defined as the norms, institutions and processes that determine how power and responsibilities are exercised, how decisions are taken and how citizens participate in natural resource governance.
People everywhere depend directly or indirectly on biodiversity for their well-being. Nature is a precondition for growth and prosperity of human societies. There is growing evidence that the direct economic value of this support is enormous though not well recognized.
Studies suggest that natural resources regularly and directly contribute 25% – 30% of many rural and coastal peoples' household income in low and middle income countries.
However, the State has tended to retain authority over natural resources excluding or heavily regulating local control. The direct consequence of this is that nature's benefits are not fairly shared and, in many situations, natural resources are poorly managed.
This area of our work contributes to recognizing and respecting the rights of people who live close to and rely on nature. We help governments, communities and the private sector put in place credible and robust measures to improve natural resource governance – both policy making and implementation.
Nature-based solutions to global challenges
IUCN promotes the use of nature-based solutions in tackling global challenges such as climate change, poverty and food security.
Healthy forests and peat bogs purify water for us. Coral reefs act as storm-buffering breakwaters. Mangroves form sea walls that protect shorelines and communities from natural disasters. Well-managed estuaries boost food security, jobs and incomes for millions. Nature does all this for us and, if properly nurtured and maintained, it does so largely for free.
We show how protecting and restoring ecosystems, particularly forests, can help reduce carbon emissions and help people adapt to the impacts of climate change.
IUCN works with many partners in projects that put nature at the centre of efforts to improve the quality of life using a people-centred approach and fair distribution of resources.

|NY actor advocates arts supoport
|Written by Lincoln L. Hayes
Excerpt from "Economic stimulus or just more pork?" by Zachary Coile, Chronicle Washington Bureau.
...As Congress rushes toward what leaders of both parties predict will be a speedy passage of an $825 billion economic stimulus package, critics from GOP lawmakers to government watchdog groups are questioning whether key parts of the bill will spur economic growth or whether they're wasteful pork.
House Republican Conference Chairman Mike Pence of Indiana pointed to a $50 million outlay for the National Endowment for the Arts—an agency that conservatives have long criticized—to help arts groups hit by a drop-off in philanthropy.
"This is stimulus?" Pence asked...
Uh, yes. People work in the arts, then spend money, thereby helping the economy. A stimulus, as you know, will help out these people even more because we all know working in the arts is, for the most part, a penniless existence.
I particularly need this to go through so, A) people will continue to work, and 2) other people will pay money to participate in that work. If those people don't work, I can't work. If all the theatres in New York close, things in my office will get a little iffy. Why pay that contract associate when there aren't any theatres open? Seems like these three or four employees are expendable....
So hey, here's an idea: write to your congressman or woman and tell him/her how much arts organizations will affect (not effect) the economy where you are if they go under. How many jobs would be lost not only in that organization, but in the businesses nearby. If a theater or movie theater closes, the restaurants next door will lose business too. The coffee shop will take a hit. The hotels' numbers will drop.
Sadly, during tough times, entertainment goes by the wayside, but it's also one of the best ways to survive during a rough go. "I've got ten bucks; I'll go be entertained for an hour or so. Oh wait, can't do that; my movie theatre closed or the museum isn't open anymore."
I know what you're thinking. "Since when does Lincoln advocate this kind of stuff?" Since he started working for Actors Equity Association and depends on other actors to keep working in order for him to have a paycheck, and with that paycheck, pay for the plays he's putting on with his new theatre company.
Anyway, I'm getting down from my soap box now. Just something to think about.
