For nearly 30 years, both of us have been immersed in Susan B. Anthony's words -- Ann as the editor of Anthony's papers, Lynn as the author of a biography. We have read every single word that this very voluble -- and endlessly political -- woman left behind. Our conclusion: Anthony spent no time on the politics of abortion. It was of no interest to her, despite living in a society (and a family) where women aborted unwanted pregnancies.via Ta-Nehisi Coates
The [Susan B. Anthony] List's mission statement proclaims, "Although [Anthony] is known for helping women win the right to vote, it is often untold in history that she and most early feminists were strongly pro-life." There's a good reason it's "untold:" historians and good journalists rely on evidence. Of which there is none.

Susan B. Anthony, Abortion, and Sarah Palin
8 comments:
I'm glad you pointed this out. I was sure Anthony would have supported abortion rights if it came down to it.ReplyDelete
Wasn't she a supporter of eugenics? I recall that Elizabeth Cady Stanton was.
I will give Ms. Palin credit for getting me interested in learning more about Anthony et al
There's all sorts of interesting things that can be said about Anthony, some of them not particularly pleasant, but she was an incredibly complex person. Her rift with Frederick Douglass after the 14th & 15th Amendments were passed was not particularly pretty, but she was able to mend this a bit late in her life, and she saw him (or he visited her, I don't remember offhand) days before he died, and his family asked her to speak at his funeral.ReplyDelete
Eugenics and the women's suffrage movement is also complex, tied in with American imperialism, etc. Some of the most provocative writing about it I've seen is in Louise Newman's White Women's Rights, which can be downloaded as a PDF (legally!) from that link.
Eugenics gets even more interesting and complex with Margaret Sanger, and I'd write more about that, but have to run right now...
It's no surprise that Anthony broke with Douglass when he decided that male black suffrage trumped female suffrage of any color (unlike Sojourner Truth, who sided with Anthony on the issue).ReplyDelete
Abortions weren't illegal until the late 19th Century, if I'm remembering correctly.ReplyDelete
And for an interesting look at the history of abortion, see Katha Pollitt's "Abortion in American History" from The Atlantic in 1997. [Note that Pollitt, who I'll admit is one of my heroes, is staunchly pro-choice, so folks who are anti-abortion may be skeptical.]ReplyDelete
Here's a useful passage:
"UNTIL the last third of the nineteenth century, when it was criminalized state by state across the land, abortion was legal before 'quickening' (approximately the fourth month of pregnancy). Colonial home medical guides gave recipes for 'bringing on the menses' with herbs that could be grown in one's garden or easily found in the woods. By the mid eighteenth century commercial preparations were so widely available that they had inspired their own euphemism ('taking the trade'). Unfortunately, these drugs were often fatal. The first statutes regulating abortion, passed in the 1820s and 1830s, were actually poison-control laws: the sale of commercial abortifacients was banned, but abortion per se was not. The laws made little difference. By the 1840s the abortion business -- including the sale of illegal drugs, which were widely advertised in the popular press -- was booming."
"In one of the many curious twists that mark the history of abortion, the campaign to criminalize it was waged by the same professional group that, a century later, would play an important role in legalization: physicians. The American Medical Association's crusade against abortion was partly a professional move, to establish the supremacy of 'regular' physicians over midwives and homeopaths. More broadly, anti-abortion sentiment was connected to nativism, anti-Catholicism, and, as it is today, anti-feminism. Immigration, especially by Catholics and nonwhites, was increasing, while birth rates among white native-born Protestants were declining. (Unlike the typical abortion patient of today, that of the nineteenth century was a middle- or upper-class white married woman.) Would the West 'be filled by our own children or by those of aliens?' the physician and anti-abortion leader Horatio R. Storer asked in 1868. 'This is a question our women must answer; upon their loins depends the future destiny of the nation.' (It should be mentioned that the nineteenth-century women's movement also opposed abortion, having pinned its hopes on 'voluntary motherhood' -- the right of wives to control the frequency and timing of sex with their husbands.)"
I think Pollitt overstates things by speaking of the "nineteenth century women's movement" as monolithically anti-abortion, for the partly the same reason I find the SBA List and Palin so annoying -- so much has changed both socially and medically that it's awfully difficult to equate contemporary discourse about abortion with that of the 19th century. Pollitt's statement doesn't bother me nearly as much because it's within an essay (book review, really) that contextualizes so much else, and in fact the information does not support her own beliefs, so even though I find it a simplification, it's a simplification that's doing exactly the opposite of what Palin and the SBA are up to.
I was at a bioethics conference years ago. I remember a lecturer quoted extensively from an essay by Anthony that implied a kind of proto-prolife position.ReplyDelete
Several academics questioned the speaker and his sources. The speaker produced a facsimile of Anthony's journal, Revolution. I still have my notes wand some of the cites from Anthony's own writings were quite telling... You can find these quotes all over the web, granted they are all on religious websites. I could not find a public access version of Revolution and the original article.
Here are the quotes from my notes...
"horrible crime of child-murder."
"destroys the little being, she thinks, before it lives."
"eradicate this most monstrous crime"
"We must reach the root of the evil and destroy it."
I'd inadvertently put the wrong link up there (to the Palin speech rather than Gordon & Sheer's response), so you might not have seen that they're writing about exactly that Revolution article, which was bylined as by "A".ReplyDelete
The evidence or lack of evidence for Anthony's views on abortion is interesting to discuss from a historical standpoint, but the way Palin and the SBA List use SBA herself seems to me disingenous at best.
I'm extremely late on this posting, but I have to say as representative of the Brownell Anthony(related on my grandmothers side, if anybody feels the need to test facts I will be more than happy to provide a small portion of our family tree) family, she was only against abortion due to lack of womens education on the subject, the health risks involved, and as horrible as it sounds it just wasn't classy. On the race issue she did not believe in slavery but was a mild racist herself and belived that educated women were more intelligent than ignorant African Americans per SBA.As for Sarah Palin where to start, I won't but I will say this; if Susan were alive today I'm almost positive she would not be an SP supporter, and I base this on the fact that the women in our family detest her.ReplyDelete

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Tuesday, Sept. 18, 2012
EVANS, Ga. -- A middle school student is being charged with a sex crime after several girls reported he touched them inappropriately in the school hallway.
Several students came forward on Sept. 13 and said a male student had touched them in private areas by slapping them or poking at them.
There were at least four female victims total. The case was referred to Juvenile Court.
This comes just months after Lakeside Middle School had to deal with the Charlie Rape Gang last March when five boys were punished for grabbing other children and simulating sexual acts.
Now worries have been renewed.
Cameras at Lakeside show calm, quiet hallways, but deputies say last week, a 13-year-old assaulted at least four girls.
Lakeside Middle School Principal Felicia Turner said, "It's all in the name of fooling around."
That is what she says kids are calling it, but school administrators aren't.
"On television, on music videos, on all of those things, they see men and women , young adults, engaging in all kinds of sexual activity," Turner said.
It's this activity that has some parents like Jennifer Rose concerned.
"Everybody is on high alert status right now after last year," Rose said.
You may remember Rose from last year. She was one of many parents who spoke out about the five boys who simulated sexual acts.
"I would definitely say there is a heightened awareness because of what happened last school year," Rose said.
This time around, parents are still concerned about the lack of communication.
"Surely, there is some sort of communication mechanism with all the technology we have available today that can help keep us apprised of what's going on," Rose said.
"It's a hard call to know what rises to the occasion of letting everyone in the school and all those parents know," Turner said.
This year, the school installed 16 new surveillance cameras, all part of helping cut the so-called "fooling around."
"We have to make sure that our kids are safe in school because we have to protect that learning environment. If they don't feel safe, they are not going to learn," Rose said.
The big difference in this case from the incidents last March is that this student is being charged with sexual battery as opposed to simple battery. Whether this kid will be a listed sex offender will depend on the facts of the case.
News 12 will learn more about those facts in court. The teen is scheduled to go before a juvenile court judge Friday morning.

OAKLAND -- The Alameda County District Attorney's Office filed criminal charges Wednesday against three protesters who contributed to a chaotic and violent march Monday night, while Oakland police announced the arrest of another protester on an outstanding warrant.
Lamar Caldwell, 26, and Tanzeen Dohal, 34, of San Jose, were arrested and charged with felony vandalism, according to authorities. Jeffrey Clark, 30, who holds a New York driver's license but listed his address in Oakland, was charged with misdemeanor battery on a police officer and assault, police said. The men were arrested Monday night near the 1500 block of Broadway. A police probable cause warrant states that Clark threw a rock at a police officer.
Caldwell, also of Oakland, is accused of causing more than $400 in damage for breaking a display window at the Men's Warehouse store on Broadway. A police probable cause warrant states that officers watched Caldwell striking the window at least three times with an "unknown object" until it broke.
Meanwhile, Oakland police announced that another man was arrested late Tuesday after a fourth night of protesting along downtown Oakland streets.
The arrest, which took place near 14th Street and Broadway, came on the heels of three consecutive nights of vandalism and violence that left smashed windows and storefronts, graffiti and debris from demonstrators' clashes with police.
The evening marked the first night since Saturday that protesters did not march or vandals did not damage city streets.
The protester was arrested on an outstanding warrant during a confrontation between police and more than 30 protesters after the Oakland City Council meeting, police said. Seventeen others were cited with various misdemeanor offenses, officials said.
Police also reportedly confiscated sound equipment from a protester who allegedly violated the city's noise ordinance.
The crowd was protesting Saturday's acquittal of George Zimmerman in Florida in the shooting death of an African American youth, 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, and on Monday night briefly shut down traffic on Interstate 880 and blocked several streets. During the protesters' marches and skirmishes with police downtown, more than a dozen businesses were vandalized, including some targeted during previous protests.
Among the targeted businesses on Monday were Comerica Bank, 1200 Broadway, the Burger King restaurant at 13th and Broadway; Youth Radio, 1701 Broadway; and Men's Warehouse, 300 Frank H. Ogawa Plaza. All had windows smashed. Sears, 1950 Broadway, had more windows smashed and paint was splattered, and the restaurant Flora, 1900 Telegraph Ave., where a waiter was savagely attacked with a hammer, had its windows broken.
There was no repeat of vandalism Tuesday.

Drive-By Truckers frontman Patterson Hood playing Asheville, NC, gigs
Published: Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 7:52 p.m.
Being without his beloved acoustic guitar for a few days was excruciating for Patterson Hood.
Want to go?
Who: Patterson Hood
Where: The Grey Eagle, Asheville, N.C.
When: 9 p.m. today and Friday
Tickets: $15
Info: 828-232-5800, www.thegreyeagle.com
After the guitar was stolen following a recent gig, the Drive-By Truckers singer made a passionate public plea for its return.
Luckily, the plea worked.
Hood said he felt "very violated" over the event.
"My guitar is a very personal thing; it was custom made for me by a dear friend and all the insurance in the world wouldn't replace that one," he wrote in an email interview. "It is truly my prized material possession."
Hood will have the guitar in hand when he plays back-to-back shows at The Grey Eagle in Asheville, N.C., this week. Hood plays tonight and Friday.
Hood said having the instrument returned was a good feeling. Hood's management was contacted by a fan about the guitar's whereabouts.
"It's weird. We generally have the greatest fans in the world, and here you had one bad apple do something really terrible, then another one go all out to make it right," he said.
Solo shows for Hood are generally different from the rocking good times had during Drive-By Truckers sets.
A lot of material Hood plans to play during the two-show stint will be from his new album, "Heat Lightning Rumbles in the Distance," which was released in September.
"Different songs, different vibe, different volume level," he said explaining the shows' differences. "I even sing somewhat differently. The songs in this show center around my latest album and songs that fit with those songs.
"I do play a handful of Drive-By Truckers songs, but they are generally ones that Drive-By Truckers almost never play and, as I said, songs that fit with my new album."
He's currently writing his part of the next Truckers album, and he said they plan to begin recording next month.
With all of the gigs he's playing, Hood said it's sometimes hard to find time to write.
"It is a struggle with everything else I have on my plate, but it's too important to not make a priority," he said.
The songs from the solo project came while Patterson was attempting to write a book. When the book stopped flowing, the songs kept coming.
He hasn't returned seriously to the book project, saying he just "dabbles" with it but would love to get back to it.
"I love writing, whatever type it ends up being. Writing is generally my release and my way of coping with whatever is eating at me," he said.
"Songwriting is way easier, as I hear them in my head and follow them where they lead, but I think I can do a pretty decent job of whatever kind of writing I apply myself to. It's just sort of what I do. If there's ever a time when I'm on the road less, I will probably write more."

Broker Note Briefing: Friday
There seems to be a lot of repositioning for the start of the year and UBS is the latest analyst to make extensive changes to its sector and equity recommendations.
It has cut the U.K. aerospace and defense sector and U.K. utilities to "neutral" from "buy". And its analysts have raised the healthcare sector to "overweight" from "neutral".
"In our overall recommendations, we continue to favor a cyclical tilt given the continued improvement in macro lead indicators," the brokerage said. Aerospace is downgraded following outperformance in the past 18 months while utilities are cut given that earnings momentum is has turned mixed and valuations are middle-of-the-range. Healthcare is UBS's preferred defensive play.
The auto sector comes under scrutiny at Goldman Sachs. Despite its strong performance over the past 12 months, the sector's relative price-to-earnings ratio remains close to its trough over the past 10 years, and the autos field is still the cheapest cyclical sector in Europe.
The brokerage has made a number of changes to its recommendations. Those of note include Pirelli , Continental , Michelin , BMW and Volkswagen which are downgraded. Daimler , Volvo , Valeo and Scania have been upgraded. Daimler, Volvo and Valeo are added to the brokerage's conviction buy list, while Volkswagen comes off the list.
Goldman is cautious on tire companies in 2013, despite likely strong fourth quarter 2012 results. North American truck order momentum is expected to pick up in 2013, along with a strong recovery in Brazilian truck demand. In Europe, the market is expected to remain flat, with a recovery in 2014 on the cards.
UBS also took a look at airlines Friday. EasyJet and Deutsche Lufthansa have been downgraded. International Consolidated Airlines has gone up to "buy".
IAG's share price performance lagged the other European majors in 2012, said UBS. The brokerage said:
"We think that IAG could be the laggard most likely to outperform in 2013 should it achieve the concessions the company wants from Iberia staff."
IAG is the merged company of British Airways and Iberia. The latter has seen staff lay-offs and salary cuts which has sparked strike threats from various staff groups.

For every dollar fed into a slot machine, about 90 percent is paid out as winnings. The balance — the net slots revenues — is taxed at a rate of 55 percent, the highest in the nation among states that don't own their own slot machines.
Property tax relief is funded with 34 percent of all net slots revenues. Most, but not all, of these funds actually go to tax relief.
The state then applies a complicated formula based on income, market value, millage and local tax revenue from 2002 to 2005 to divide it up among the state's 499 school districts and Philadelphia. The formula does not take into account changes in the composition of a school district since that time.
It's similar to the "hold harmless" rule that married state tax school allocations to 1990 census figures and guarantees that slow-growing or contracting districts don't lose funding.
It also deprives growing counties like Monroe and Pike from its fair share of the gaming money.
Tim Eller of the Pennsylvania Department of Education said there was a reason for the gaming formula.
"The idea was to prevent potentially large fluctuations in each school district's distribution based on annual changes in the data elements," he said.
State Rep. Rosemary Brown, R-189, called them extremely complex and antiquated.
"We're looking at what those formulas would bring us now and see if it's hurting us," she said. "My guess is it's hurting us."
School districts, in turn, simply divide the pool of money they receive from the state by the number of approved homesteads and farmsteads in the school district. The result is the tax credit that shows up on your bill.
And here's something that may surprise you: Every property owner in a school district gets exactly the same amount of tax credit as their neighbors, regardless of the size of their property or appraised value. That's the way the 2004 law was written.

You may soon be able to buy alcohol in Grovetown on Sundays. That's up to a vote Tuesday and this is stirring up a debate. News 12 is on your side with why some think this will bring much-needed business to the area, and others think it's morally wrong.
Extra cars could mean extra money for the city. El Kiosko waiter Gustavo Mendoza plans to vote yes on the referendum.
"I think it will be a good idea for Grovetown and for the people who wanna come in Sunday and drink alcohol, they won't have to go all the way to Augusta," Mendoza said.
There are roughly 7,000 people in Grovetown, and his restaurant is the only one that serves alcohol.
Associate Pastor Wayne Smith from First Baptist Church of Grovetown thinks this is one too many.
"I do not think alcohol should be allowed period, much less on Sunday," Smith said.
A yes vote will allow Grovetown to "promote and regulate the Sunday sale of distilled spirits and alcoholic beverages." For you, that means you can get a glass of wine, beer or a mixed drink. Stores still won't be able to sell any alcohol.
Grovetown Mayor Dennis Trudeau said large chain restaurants have a better chance of coming to Grovetown if the ordinance passes.
"I think it will attract other restaurants or maybe a hotel or motel, we could stand one in the city of Grovetown," Trudeau said.
Associate Pastor Wayne Smith's vote…definitely no.
"Personally, I believe it's a day we should worship and give praise and glory to our Lord and Savior," Smith said.
But alcohol revenues are important for Gustavo Mendoza's business.
"Every Sunday people come in and try to buy alcohol, but they just walk out," Mendoza said.
A case of progress versus moral values that voters will solve at the polls. Richmond, Columbia, and Aiken Counties currently allow the sale of alcohol in restaurants.

I get the usual error:
- Code: Select all
DEBUG 2012-09-26 01:32:22.006 [Thread-131] Cannot grow buffer size from 50,000,000 bytes to 1,045,430,272 bytes.
I run my PMS via a shortcut like so:
- Code: Select all
"C:\Program Files (x86)\PS3 Media Server\pms.jar" -classpath update.jar;pms.jar -Xmx6g -d64 -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 net.pms.PMS
(Yes, I have tried other numbers etc 1024M 2048M 6000M etc)
Running like this, for me; produces an out put of "Memory: 1365 MB" in the traces tab and an increase of 997 to the transcode buffer in the transcoding settings tab.
As I said, normally this does the trick and I have kept my PMS like this for many months.
I have tried going back to 1.50.0 and reinstalling 1.70.1 etc. I haven't changed any hardware or software or network settings or hardware (Highest quality settings on PMS still). I used to stream 35gb m2ts files without a hassle (I apparently get 85mb/s). But now I cant play a 1gb 720p video.
The real solution for me is to simply unplug my PS3 and replace it with my WD TV Live (Which plays HD videos perfectly fine without skipping)..... Which means its not network and not the PMS settings?? I tried changing the MaxVideoBitrateMbps & TranscodedVideoFileSize but that did nothing.
Either way I am totally confused and very raged.
TL;DR: Video is skipping, I used to be able to fix it - Now its back. Tried every other way to fix it & its not the network.
PS: I feel I shouldn't have to give my PC specs as this problem used to be fixable but here they are any ways...
i7 920 @ 4ghz
6gb DDR3 @ 3000mhz
1gb ATI HD5870 (Overclocked)
SSD Intel 520 HD
Billion BiPAC 7800NL Modem/Router
WPN824v2 AP/Router
PC is connected to the Billion via the WPN824
PS3 is connected directly to the Billion
Same subnet blah blah.

PARKERSBURG -Murray Sheet Metal Co. was host to students from the Mid-Ohio Valley Technical Institute senior class Thursday.
The students were shown how to maintain a successful career in the contracting, welding and construction industry. Randy Rogers, vice president to the company for less than a year, said the field trip was to show interested students what the company is about.
Rogers graduated from Ohio University with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering.

The Mid-Ohio Valley Technical Institute senior class with Murray Sheet Metal Vice President Randy Rogers stand in front of the sign acknowledging the shop has been accident-free for three years.
"Our emphasis here is to try to promote young people into considering the construction trades as a career," he said. "We don't see as many young people entering into these construction trades."
Rogers said although the man behind the sheet metal company, Jack Murray, passed away earlier this year, the legacy he left with his company continues to grow. Murray founded the Parkersburg company in 1961 and continued ownership for more than 40 years.
Chris Campbell bought the company of about 90 workers in 2005 when he hired Rogers as general manager, he said.
In 2011, employees celebrated the 50th anniversary of operations.
"Not many businesses can say they've been around for more than 50 years," said Rogers. "From my understanding, Jack Murray started Murray Sheet Metal just fabricating things out of his garage and it grew into a business."
Office manager Karen Henline said the company has thrived from Rogers' leadership role as well as leadership within the company.
Although Rogers does not like to brag about doing his job, his employees believe him to be a crucial asset to the 48,000-square-foot shop.
"Under his leadership and being the general manager, the last several years we've been very successful," Henline said. "He's being humble."
Rogers and Henline said the company is licensed across West Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky. Rogers praised staff members who have taken on leadership roles.
"We are fortunate to have strong and resourceful leadership," he said. "That has helped us grow and sustain the way we have."
Rogers praised his employees, saying the company has a lot of talented people - fabricators, installers and technicians - who are good at what they do. He said many of the workers are veterans of the trade, so it would be nice to see young people interested in those career paths too.
The company has gone three years without a work-related injury shutting down the plant.
Rogers said executives recognize employees for the safety performance they convey and for paying attention in potentially dangerous situations.
"We work at heights, roofing and industrial or commercial work," he said. "It's a lot of elevated work."

Starbucks has started selling a specialty coffee that costs $7 for a 16-ounce "grande" cup, making it the company's priciest brew, as customers demand more premium products.
The Costa Rica Finca Palmilera coffee costs $40 for a half- pound bag and $6 for a 12-ounce "tall" cup, Lisa Passe, a Starbucks spokeswoman, said in an email. It's made from a rare, difficult-to-grow varietal called Geisha. The new coffee is available at only 46 locations in the U.S. Northwest with expensive Clover brewing machines. No word on when Geisha will go on sale in the Bay Area.
"We have loyal reserve customers who are interested in any opportunity to try something as rare and exquisite as the Geisha varietal," Passe said. "We are now offering more reserve coffees than ever before because of customer demand."
Starbucks, the world's largest coffee-shop operator, competes in specialty coffees with companies such as Chicago- based Intelligentsia Coffee & Tea Inc. and Portland, Oregon- based Stumptown Coffee Roasters, which rely on "single-origin" and "direct trade" coffee to sell to discerning customers.
Starbucks Chief Executive Officer Howard Schultz has added products such as instant coffee, energy drinks, juice, a single- serve brewer and food to sell in the company's shops and in grocery stores.

Have you ever heard of Lots-o'-Huggin Bear? Did you play with the toy as a child? No? Us either. As it turns out, it's because the toy never existed in the 80s, as these YouTube videos would suggest.
Turns out, the marketers wanted to reach more than the "parents and children" demographic and created these videos in hopes of reaching the teens and 20-somethings that loved the original Toy Story movie years ago.
Here's the video for Lots-o'-Huggin Bear:
And a Japanese version as well!

A property in Minturn known as the "Boneyard" is on the auction block and Eagle County is partnering with the town of Minturn on a bid.
The 4.39-acre parcel is owned by the U.S. Forest Service, which set the minimum bid at $1.25 million. The property is surrounded by Forest Service land, the Eagle River and U.S. Highway 24.
"This is a project that's near and dear to the hearts of Minturn," said Eagle County Open Space Director Toby Sprunk. "It would be used for fishing and as a put-in for kayaks, that sort of stuff. There is also one storage building on the site the town would use."
Most of the funding would come from the county open space fund and Minturn would chip in $150,000 if the bid is successful. Sprunk wouldn't say how much he is currently authorized to bid.
"Announcing it to the newspaper at this point would put us at a competitive disadvantage," he said. "Right now we're the only bid, so we're sticking with the starting offer. We'll see what happens by Jan. 8 and go from there."
The auction is completely online at http://gsaauctions.gov. It's something Sprunk isn't used to when it comes to property deals.
"It's like eBay and is unlike anything I've ever done," he said. "Another tricky thing about it is that the Forest Service has a reserve price in mind - no one knows what it is, it's not written down, but if the bids don't meet the reserve price, the Forest Service will keep the property. I believe they have the option of changing the reserve price, too."
The open space money being used for the bid was scheduled for approval on Tuesday's Eagle County Consent Agenda but the agenda item was pulled when no other bids had been made.
"We'll definitely be talking more about it around Jan. 8," Sprunk said.

Residents and visitors in Eagle County will soon have more places to get their feet wet in the Colorado River thanks to the county's acquisition of two new properties, part of a larger effort to increase river recreation and conservation. Eagle County Open Space partnered with The Conservation Fund on the Upper Colorado River Conservation and Recreation Project, which received a $3.9 million grant from Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) in June.
Working with The Conservation Fund, Eagle County purchased a conservation easement on the 1,000-acre Colorado River Ranch, a working ranch that straddles the upper Colorado River 12 miles north of Dotsero. The easement allows the county to construct a boat launch and provides public access to the historic school house. The Colorado River Ranch contains two miles of river frontage, wildlife habitat and scenic views.
Additionally, the county has purchased the 230-acre Red Dirt Creek parcel upstream of the Colorado River Ranch and plans to use the property for primitive camping and added public river access. Both properties are protected by conservation easements held by Colorado Open Lands, a statewide nonprofit land trust. Closings on both projects occurred last week.
Combined, these two acquisitions permanently protect 3.7 miles of Colorado River frontage, as well as an important wildlife movement corridor between the Flat Tops Wilderness and the Bull Gulch Wilderness Study Area. Eagle County will utilize dedicated Open Space Funds for public access improvements on both properties in 2013.
The Upper Colorado River Conservation and Recreation Project is one of eight projects awarded $29.5 million in lottery grants by the GOCO Board in June as part of the organization's River Corridor Initiative. GOCO developed the initiative to provide close-to-home recreation opportunities for Coloradans to get outdoors and experience the state's waterways.
GOCO is the result of a citizens' initiative passed by the voters in 1992. As the recipient of approximately half of Colorado Lottery proceeds - $57 million in fiscal year 2012 - GOCO awards grants to local governments and land trusts, and makes investments through the Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife. Since 1994, nearly 3,500 projects in all 64 counties have received GOCO funding. Eagle County projects have received $14.9 million in GOCO grants.

To aid in the restoration of wild landscapes on the Western Slope, Colorado Parks and Wildlife recently completed construction of a specialized warehouse where seeds of native plants will be stored and distributed.
Located at the Escalante State Wildlife Area west of Delta, the $1.2 million, 9,000 square-foot facility will play a critical role in wildlife habitat conservation far into the future. The money was appropriated by the Colorado General Assembly through the Species Conservation Trust Fund. -
Using native plants that are suited to Colorado's landscape and climate is critical for properly restoring areas that have been disturbed by forest fire, resource development, grazing or other activities. -----
"This warehouse will help us to provide locally adapted plant varieties, or currently unavailable plant varieties to Western Slope land managers who are conducting habitat improvement or restoration projects," said Jim Garner, terrestrial habitat coordinator in Montrose for Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
The facility will also provide significant cost savings for reclamation efforts. While some native seed is available it can be very expensive, sometimes $100 or more per pound. Prices also fluctuate significantly from year to year depending on demand. The warehouse allows Colorado Parks and Wildlife to buy large quantities of seeds when prices are low so they can be stored in the climate-controlled conditions for future use.
"That will be a huge benefit to our work because we'll have a steady supply of material on hand," Garner explained. "And in a few years we'll have established a large-scale seed bank."
Colorado Parks and Wildlife will also store seed for other agencies such as the U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. ------
As much as possible, seeds will be collected throughout the Western Slope from plants on the landscape. In addition, the agency will use specialty growers that are able to produce large quantities of seeds. Some of the types of seeds to be collected include: sagebrush, dusty penstemon, sulphur flower buckwheat, squirrel tail and a variety of shrubs, grasses and forbs.
"It's always best to plant seeds that were taken from the local area. Plants evolve characteristics that make them best suited to particular soil, moisture and light conditions," Garner said.
The idea to set up a seed warehouse started with the Uncompahgre Plateau Project, a collaboration of federal and state agencies, utility companies and Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Located west of Montrose, the 1.2 million-acre expanse is rich in timber and wildlife habitat, and is open to many other forest uses. It's used for livestock grazing and major power lines cross the area. The project organizers established a native plant program to help restore disturbed areas and to provide food sources for wildlife. Since 2002, the program has placed 16 native plants into production and thousands of pounds of seed are being harvest annually.
"The warehouse is an important milestone. This facility is a far-sighted investment for wildlife habitat on Colorado's Western Slope," Garner said.

Eagle County Paramedic Services (ECPS) is the new name for the ambulance service serving Eagle County. This name change reflects the continuing process of merging the county's two ambulance districts, Eagle County Ambulance District (ECAD) and Western Eagle County Ambulance District (WECAD).
"The new identity of Eagle County Paramedic Services marks an exciting milestone in our efforts to enhance a superior standard of care throughout Eagle County," said Fred Morrison, General Manager of Eagle County Paramedic Services. "Our new name and new logo reflect the official start of an effort we feel is the right thing to do, both operationally and financially."
ECPS is the result of a merger between ECAD and WECAD, which takes effect early next year. ECPS plans to have administrative systems from the two districts merged by Jan. 1 with operations gradually merging during the next several months.
Prior to the formation of Eagle County Paramedic Services, ECAD provided service from Wolcott to the eastern boundary of Eagle County while WECAD covered the remaining western portion of the county. ECPS will now provide service to all of Eagle County.
Although the merger of administration and operations is occurring now, an inclusion election will need to be held in May or June. Shortly after the results are ratified, Eagle County District Court will order the final merger. The boards of directors will then be consolidated and the process should be complete by mid-July.
The districts' consolidation into Eagle County Paramedic Services is also expected to create more financial stability and efficiency for emergency medical services in Eagle County. Currently, WECAD is funded with a 5 mills levy. Upon completion of the merger, that will drop to 2 mills in 2014 or 2015. ECAD is currently funded with a 2 mills levy.

An Expansive Directory of Kongregate Rooms
Oookaaay, so now that you've pulled up this thread… please understand that this is going to be a bit of a project and at times I may suffer from bouts of unproductivity. But I am going to try my best to finish this thread and keep it updated in my free time. I'm sure there have been attempts at this in the past, but this is a project I'm willing to stick with.
Basically, this is my vision:
To have a complete directory here of all the English chat rooms here on Kongregate, where newcomers and experienced Kongregate players alike can come and find out information about a particular room. This thread will include much more than just the basic room names. I'm hoping to eventually get in-depth descriptions of what the different rooms are all about, as well as a list of room mods/a link to GlobalModfriend if there are none..
We have so many chat rooms on Kongregate, how do you pick one?! Sure, sometimes you may just stick with the first room you're randomly placed in, or you may just hop around a lot. Whatever works for you though, this thread should serve as a nice place to find out what a room's all about.
5/5, this thread rocks.
I am hoping this thread will serve as useful for those looking to find a new room, or just to see what a particular room is all about. Your support on this project is important to me. :)
1/5, this thread sucks.
Oh well, can't please everyone! Feel free to PM me some constructive criticism on how to improve it once I get the content added. One top of that, please do post with room updates if you know of them. (like a new room owner or new room name)
Aaaand with that being said, bear with me while I figure out how to consolidate over a hundred English chat rooms into one thread.

The annual choice awards are published in the December issues for many software magazines. A number of the winners were chosen because of their ability to use extensions or flexibility in configuring the software. However, an overlooked and increasingly important attribute to me is cross-platform support or what I laughingly refer to as OS Agnosticism.
Why is cross-platform support important? My personal reasons are:
First, I find the OS Agnostics are a good starting point for getting someone to TRY free software. Realistically, I'm unlikely to get my extended family members or friends to light-switch to a GNU/Linux or Unix based operating system. However, there is a good chance I can get them to try Firefox, Thunderbird or OpenOffice. Usually, any initial resistance is removed by the appeal of trying these programs for free (as in free beer) and without removing their current programs.
Second, since I'm frequently the guilty conspirator who helped switch my family/friends to free software, I usually find myself providing some level of technical support. The common response, if a technical issue arises, is "You got me into this, you can get me out". The commonality of using the Agnostics allows me to provide better application support regardless of the OS. I can pull up my application at home and frequently resolve any issues over the phone.
Third, the Agnostics provide maximum flexibility in my computing environment. I primarily use a GNU/Linux Distribution at home. However, my various places of employment over the last decade used MS Windows. Despite this difference, I typically run at least Firefox and OpenOffice on both systems. I can still you my favorite programs regardless of the operating system.
Fourth, The price is right. I feel most strongly about the cost aspect in regards to OpenOffice vs MS Office. I've used both programs for years in both a business and home environment. No, OpenOffice is not perfect (slow on start-up, funky conversions on some MS Office files), but neither is MS office. However, for most home-users or small business users, I fail to see the need to shell out a couple hundred dollars for MS Office.
Here is a short list of cross-platform programs I have used. In full disclosure, I have not used ALL the programs under ALL the OS's listed. The OS support information comes from the application's website.
- Firefox: web browser. OS support includes GNU/Linux, Mac OS X and Windows. Firefox was my first exposure to FOSS and still one of my favorites. Remains popular because it fits the needs for most users.
- Thunderbird: email program. OS support is the same as Firefox.
- OpenOffice: Office suite similar to MS Office. Supported OS's include MS Windows, GNU/Linux, Sun Solaris, Mac OS X, and FreeBSD.
- Gimpshop: image editor. A hack of the GIMP intended to replicate the Adobe Photoshop interface. Usually an easier transition for anyone with exposure to Photoshop, but you can still use the original GIMP. OS support for Gimpshop includes GNU/Linux, Mac OS X and Windows.
- Sunbird: calendar program from Mozilla. Same OS support as Firefox and Thunderbird.
- LyX: document processor. Windows, GNU/Linux and Mac OS X are the supported OS's.
- Scribus: desktop publishing. OS support includes Windows, GNU/Linux, Mac OS X.
- Blender : 3D Graphics. Supported OS's are Windows, GNU/Linux, OSX, Solaris and FreeBSD.
- GAIM : Instant messaging program for GNU/Linux, BSD, Mac OS X, and Windows.
- Azureus: BitTorrent client running on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.
- Audacity: Audio editor and recorder for Windows, Mac OS X and GNU/Linux.
- Abiword: Word processing. Supported OS's are Windows, GNU/Linux and Mac OS X.
If you've been around free software for a while, you saw some of the usual suspects listed above. Go ahead and suggest your own additions to the list of OS Agnostics.
If you are a new to free software, give one of the listed programs a try. These programs remain popular because they meet the needs for most users. With the OS Agnostics, your barriers to exploring a new application are pretty thin. So jump in, the water's not too deep.
OpenOffice.org on Mac OS X
I remember that OOo required X Window on Mac OS X, which meant that users had to install another software layer. I don't know if that's still the case, but I may have read about NeoOffice (?), which is OOo specifically for the Mac. I can't check that now because my Internet connection's screwy now >:(

OpenOffice.org on OS X
If you want OOo on OS X, you still need the X11 layer.
However, NeoOffice is now so good that it makes OOo for OS X + X11 rather obsolete, imho.
After installing the NeoOffice alpha, later the beta, I haven't used OOo or MS Office for Mac anymore. NeoOffice is improving all the time, and although you can still see it is OOo, it looks and feels like a "native" OS X app (whatever that means) most of the time. Didn't have any crashes even in alpha either.
Herman, Rotterdam
No more x11, hooray
NeoOffice has been the discovery of the year for me. No more x11.
Of course I'm still shelling out extra for buying a Mac in the first place, but that I'm happy to do. Aside from a Photoshop alternative, I am satisfied that all my gnu/free software is as good as the proprietory alternatives out there.
All *fantastic*.
Gimpshop still far too quirky for my liking.
NeoOffice vs OpenOffice.org on Mac OS X
It is OpenOffice.org that requires the X11 Windowing system to run on top of Mac OS X. NeoOffice runs natively. For a unified look and feel, OpenOffice.org maintains its look-and-feel across platforms. However, it is very much un-Mac-like.
I wish that OpenOffice.org interface improves by using the NeoOffice interface, look-and-feel and widgets. :)
Happy GNU Year, Daniel!
Rom Feria
This is still true; however,
This is still true; however, there is a caveat. The test builds of Open Office 3 will run natively in Darwin on Os-X. And of course, when the full release of 3 comes out it will run natively.
Cross platform support is good becasue mainly people use Applications but not the OS.... when a a person migrates from one OS to another - cross platform applications make this migration easier.
While not a "program" but a game, I find that an install of Frozen-Bubble helps clear the way for new things, My family gives me the "Yeah, but does it play frozen-bubble?" anytime I show them something new.
There are about 30 apps that cross most platforms at http://shedreamsindigital.pbwiki.com all OSS or Freeware.

What about Inkscape
Inkscape is an open-source vector art program, it should have made the list.
best cross-platform IDE out there.
Instead of GAIM for IM
How about something cross platform, open source and standards-based, Like Jive Software's XMPP client and server: Spark and Wildfire (which also has server-side gateways to the public networks).
But then again, I'm biased since I work there. :)
guys, about time you stopped giving so much credit to Audacity because it's far from the audio editor it should be. Remember the days Cool Edit was shareware (heck there was even a free Cool 2000 version) and did so much more than Audacity does in terms of processing a single file. Who needs all those multitracks? Instead of grabbing all sorts of 'best' awards, those guys should think about the future of the app they're writing. For instance, there is no decent free audio editor for OSX. What are they waiting for? doh
I started reading this article expecting to see VLC (Video Lan Client) featured prominantly b/c of what a useful multimedia player it is. It'll play iso files of DVD's, DIVX, XVID, MKV...etc. files with it's built-in set of codecs.
It can also take those files and re-stream them to other VLC clients on the network.
It's my favorite multimedia player on EVERY platform. For a list of platforms and built-in codecs: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/features.html
Other apps
This is a good list, but is fairly biased towards office/productivity apps. I agree Inkscape is excellent. Other notables are vim/emacs, apache, mysql/postgresql, perl/php/python/ruby, LaTeX, OpenVPN, PuTTY, synergy, *VNC, refbase, mplayer/VLC, AMANDA, and grace. Donate to F/OSS!

Sure, it costs a few bucks, but MoneyDance is a cross-platform checkbook program that doesn't have the bloat of MS Money or Quicken.
Abiword bad
I tried Abiword for Mac. VERY buggy. Doesn't even display the text properly... it puts huge random spaces between letters so that the legibility is awful.
I did mention,
... in this roll, the Eagle. Eagle, made by Cadsoft, runs on Win, Unices and MAC (I have used this on Linux / Windows without any signal of incompatibility). It´s a C.A.E.
Besides, I don´t like the denonomination Agnostics. Sounds bad, the meanning. I prefer OS Independent [Software].

For playing media
Free IM-client for Mac
Gaim runs under Mac OS X over X11.
I'd recommend Adium instead...
Adium is fine, but
... it's OS X only. I use it too, but a good OS agnostic alternative would be Psi. It runs on Linux, Windows and OS X without X11.
It's a pure Jabber client so other protocols are only available through transports. But hey, this is all about "moving towards free software", isn't it?
If you are a professional photographer, or even a serious amateur, you need a program to process RAW camera files.
The one I use is Bibble Pro. It's not open source or free, but it is also nowhere near the cost of Adobe, C1, and others, and it is worth every penny. It is available for Windows, OS X, and Linux. Runs the same on my XP Tablet and my Mac Pro.
Cross platform software
Add 7Z13 FOSS software that unzips most zip and RAR files and compreses quite well.
Opera works on most all
Opera works on most all Operating systems.
Another software that I must mention here is WinSCP. It a secure ftp client with very easy to use interface and security.
Free as in $99 + EULA from hell :D
Hope all you good people at Free... I mean Share... errm... this here software magazine had a merry xmas ;-)
cross platform apps shouldn't be that important
I agree with the basic concept for your argument but when I see GAIM in the list I can't help but think it's not THAT important. Kopete and loads of different apps can share the same protocol (i.e MSN) so it shouldn't matter what application you use but more what protocols and data formats you use.
The new XML Office document format will be *really* good for everyone who hates being tied in.
I hate being tied to Windows just because I can't play Call of Duty 2 on Linux so it's a really important subject for me. It also frustrates me that Firefox and IE render the same webpages so differently, the key difference being the font thats used to render the page.
Anyway a good article. I think once people read the article they get bored of the subject and it's up to others like me and you to remind people that it still needs to be dealt with in an ongoing effort.
http://inkscape.org ftw.

Just two weeks ago, when Twitter's share price first topped $50, many pundits wrung their hands, considering the company has yet to turn a profit.
On Thursday, shares of the San Francisco micro-blogging service flirted with $75 before closing at a record $73.31. And the hand-wringing began anew.
"Every professional that I've talked to just can't believe what's going on," said Jack Hillis, president of San Jose's Hillis Financial Services.
Hillis, who's been advising his clients to avoid the frenzy, frets that unsophisticated, mom-and-pop investors are driving the stock to unsustainable heights. "It's got the same market cap as Target" -- about $40 billion, he marveled.
That might even be an understatement, said Scott Kessler, who covers the stock for S&P Capital IQ. Kessler said that because Twitter -- which won't report its first quarterly financial results as a public company for at least a month -- has yet to fully spell out how many shares are outstanding, its market capitalization could actually be closer to $50 billion.
That would put the company, founded in 2006 by young techies Evan Williams, Biz Stone and Jack Dorsey, within spitting distance of venerable Hewlett-Packard (HPQ).
Kessler, who pegs Twitter's fair value at no more than $30 per share, attributes the stock's wild run-up since its Nov. 7 initial public offering to three factors: User passion for the product, the relatively limited number of shares available and an overall bull market.
Indeed, Twitter's not the only consumer Internet stock that's turning Wall Street's head. Facebook closed trading Thursday at $57.73, more than double where it was a year ago -- or even five months ago.
Amazon this week topped $400 a share for the first time. Google (GOOG) on Thursday closed at a stratospheric $1,147. And Yahoo (YHOO) briefly topped a one-year high of $41.05 before finishing at $40.65, territory the stock hasn't trodden since 2005.
Still, even some of the underwriters that helped take Twitter public are struggling to understand Wall Street's current enthusiasm.
In their first research reports earlier this month, Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan issued the equivalent of "hold" ratings, while Bank of America Merrill Lynch advised clients to sell. Only Deutsche Bank and Goldman Sachs recommended buying the stock -- and their target prices were $50 and $46, respectively.
JP Morgan's Doug Anmuth, in a research note, wrote that while Twitter is "fundamentally changing the way people communicate" and has "considerable runway" to grow its user base beyond the current 232 million people, he didn't think the company's real-time news stream has the same broad appeal of rival social networks Facebook and LinkedIn. Shares of those companies are trading at much more modest multiples to earnings than Twitter is, based on the most recent estimates.
Not everyone, though, is convinced Twitter investors are guilty of irrational exuberance.
"When you look out over the next several years, it does seem like it's positioned quite well for success," said Shyam Patil, who covers the stock for Wedbush Securities.
Wedbush last month initiated coverage of Twitter with a "neutral" rating and a 12-month price target of $37. But Patil said recent conversations with advertising agencies have led him to conclude they're bullish on Twitter as a place to do business.
And with Facebook having led the way, "There's momentum around social advertising," he said.
That said, Patil acknowledged the heady valuation implied by Thursday's closing price "certainly raises the bar" for CEO Dick Costolo and his troops. But Patil added, "It seems like they have significant potential."

I don't run my own business. I've always known that I couldn't do that, I'd need someone more business oriented to do it with me if anything. I do have some thoughts about this, though.
In this paragraph you say that you found your work rewarding, and you enjoyed it. (I'm taking the liberty of expanding "this is amazing", so correct me if I'm wrong.) Then you took a numbers look at your work/life balance and decided that maybe you're wrong. I have to ask you to re-evaluate these numbers and what they really mean.
Were you really satisfied before you analyzed this? If so, you should figure out what beyond the numbers made you satisfied. I understand that working like that can take its toll, but so can sitting in a cubicle staring at a screen 10 hours a day [read:my job]. Not to mention that the long-term potential for your type of work is far greater than most desk jobs, and that goes beyond monetary considerations.
What was the toll of all those hours? When you think of this, you should try to consider whether this became important before you started paying attention. In other words, are you horribly neglecting your family or your social life? Can you sacrifice either of those in hopes that the future will be better? Is having your own business and doing what you do worth these sacrifices?
You need to figure out why this didn't matter until you thought about it. You may be over-thinking. You may be burnt out. Or it could be that you had been neglecting other things in favor of this idea of doing it yourself and that isn't what is important in the long run. You sounded really positive before the numbers, so I'm guessing maybe it's more over-thinking than anything else. That's a guess, only you know the answer.

Star Trek: Beaming to San Diego
Plans afoot to restore "Star Trek" captain's bridge for touring exhibition in 2014
New Starship, a nonprofit organization of "Star Trek" enthusiasts, hopes to beam devoted Trekkies up to Capt. Kirk's commander's bridge next year at the San Diego Air & Space Museum in Balboa Park.
That was the word Saturday from a panel on the project at Comic-Con.
The goal isn't just to let you sit in the captain's chair and go through a simulation encounter with The Borg.
It's also to inspire post-Trek generations to fall in love with space travel and have hope rather that despair for the future.
""What it does is reminds people of Gene Roddenberry's original assertion that the way the world is today doesn't have to be the way it has to be in the future," said Huston Huddleston, founder and CEO of New Starship, referring to the creator of the "Star Trek" series.
The panelists talked about recreating the sick bay, corridors in the Starship Enterprise and even a bathroom -- the most asked-for space, one that, if memory serves, never appeared on TV or in the movies.

Tottenham Hotspur Message Board

Motormouth at it again
I see from ESPN that our EX-manager is now insisting that it was his Spurs contract that cost him the England job!! Apparently a £10 mill compensation clause had to be met by the FA.
Yes I truly thank him for the great football we played at times under HR but he just can't keep his mouth shut. I really am glad the man has gone, he's so up himself, It's never his fault, no matter what happens around him, he always blames somebody else's.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
yeah, Spurs had some decent seasons under Redknapp but I'm also glad he's gone. Now he's saying he would refuse the job of England manager if he were offered it. Has he been offered the job then or what? stop talking nonsense Harry.

Hi Ted and anyone else interested I just read a good article on Footballfancast.com, look up the Spurs page. Good article about HR entitled "a bit rich to blame tottenham isn't it?"
Certainly puts it better than I.

sorry but i am not glad he is gone....he dragged us up the table into the champions league.....personally i think he is more charismatic and soccer wise than AvB,.......blame egotistical levy .....who thinks that he is god.....and likes to assert his authority.....his tight fistedness has cost us some great players....

DerekW, everyone is entitled to their opinion but (ALbeit lasagne gate) Big MJ had done the same with a similar squad who were not at there peak, ie: Modric, and without VDV.
So IMHO all HR did was take us back to where we were before Juande Ramos.
Two seasons on the trot he cost the club money by not rotating the squad sufficiently and falling away regarding results after the January window. 12 points clear of the gooners and crumbling to end up behind them.
As I said he had us playing some great football at times but how could Levy keep a manager that was spouting about wanting the England job and refusing to sign a new contract when offered. (This was before his court case).
Once he was overlooked he took on a new rep, Rooney's one, and started trying to get what was offered before but with a bigger, longer contract.
I cannot see how he can be seen as charismatic, to me he's just a loudmouth man who's just so far up himself. He never admits he's the one at fault, it is the fans or the players or something else, but as I said, everyone has their own opinion and can obviously say what they feel.
