James Hoggan | March 8, 2008
By James Hoggan • Saturday, March 8, 2008 - 09:05
"An issue as important as global warming should not descend into a shouting match between the faithful and the heretical."
That was the subhead in the print version of Jack Mintz's March 17 column in Canadian Business and, up to that point, he was making pretty good sense. But then Mintz took to shouting about the heretical Dr. David Suzuki, a man who continues to infuriate certain segments of Canadian society and, especially, Canadian media by honouring science over the theology of unlimited Alberta oil exploitation.
Jack Mintz is the Palmer Chair of Public Policy at the University of Calgary, an institution that is used to being embarrassed by some of its academic freedom riders. Mintz launched his tirade in reasonable-sounding tones, quietly bemoaning a Suzuki quote that we have already addressed in this earlier post .
Then Mintz says this, "Not being an expert in modelling climate change, I cannot pass judgment on the quality of the research involved." Again, so far so good. But in the very next sentence, Mintz leaps directly into ill-informed judgment, saying "But it is clear there is some room for scientific disagreement …."
Clear to whom?
After a long aside about the imperfections of Keynesian economic theory, Mintz comes back to the climate change question by dragging up the old hockey stick. Loyal DeSmog readers will know all about Dr. Michael Mann's 1999 climate reconstruction graph – a graph that, Mintz says, "inspired a profound belief that temperature trend lines were shaped like a hockey stick – flat for a long time, then a sharp increase in recent years due to carbon emissions." In a counterpunch widely celebrated in denier circles, two Canadians – an economist and a mining promoter – argued, in Mintz's words, that "Mann's data and statistical methodology were flawed, disproving one of the most important arguments at the time in favour of carbon-induced global warming." (My emphasis.)
This is either intentionally untrue or flagrantly ill-informed. The narrow debate about Michael Mann's statistical method did nothing to discredit the climate reconstructions on which he based his work. Neither has anyone done anything to question the validity of all the other climate reconstruction results illustrated at left (and explained here). For that matter, if you follow the black line (the actual temperature since reliable record-keeping began), you begin to see a curve that looks more like a rocket trip than a hockey stick.
Mintz concludes his logical meanderings by once again trying to sound reasonable. "… it should be left to the scientists to sort out what ideas hold up through empirical verification," he says. "This is the essence of good science, and we should make sure we don't undermine its important process."
Seeing how clumsily an ill-informed economist like Mintz blunders around this issue, we could hardly disagree.
Well, _some_ scientists
"`… it should be left to the scientists to sort out what ideas hold up through empirical verification' "
Sure, but I prefer to trust that role to scientists who don't have an impressive, proven track record of being stupid.
Nothing new here, moving on.

$$$ Funded by John Lefebvre (Former President of Netseller Group)
So who is James Hoggan? He's a public relations man, based in Vancouver. His firm, James Hoggan and Associates, is positioned as a feel-good local operation with clients in all the "right" public and private sectors. He also sits on the board of the David Suzuki Foundation.
One of his side efforts is a blog operated out of Hoggan and Associates. Funded by retired Internet bubble king John Lefebvre, the blog has one full-time and three or four part-time staff. They spend their time tracking down and maliciously attacking all who have doubts about climate change and painting them as corporate pawns.
There has been no mention on the blog, nor on The Fifth Estate, of James Hoggan's client list. They include or have included the National Hydrogen Association, Fuel Cells Canada, hydrogen producer QuestAir, Naikun Wind Energy and Ballard Fuel Cells. Mr. Hoggan, in other words, benefits from regulatory policy based on climate change science.
But it is as a climate commentator that Mr. Hoggan gets carried away. On The Denial Machine, Mr. Hoggan is allowed to go on at some length about how climate skeptics are not true scientists, are not qualified, or have no expertise.
That takes some gall. Here's a totally unqualified small-town PR guy making disparaging comments about scientists he says are unqualified while he lectures the rest of us on the science. "If you look in the scientific literature, there is no debate," he tells Mr. McKeown. It doesn't seem to bother Mr. McKeown that Mr. Hoggan has no expertise. It is also a little rich to have a member of the Suzuki Foundation board pronounce other scientists unfit and unqualified for climate assessments, while geneticist David Suzuki roams the world issuing barrages of climate change warnings at every opportunity.
Yes indeed leave the science to the Scientists…
wilbert has a PhD in Blowing Smoke
John Lefebvre is "unqualified" to say that Richard S. Courtney doesn't have a PhD in anything?
And, stop obsessing over David Suzuki and Al Gore.

The narrow debate about
The narrow debate about Michael Mann's statistical method did nothing to discredit the climate reconstructions on which he based his work.
The debate was not narrow, but central to the validity of MBH. Whether the reconstructions Mann based his work on are credible is a moot point; Mann's work is what has been questioned.
Neither has anyone done anything to question the validity of all the other climate reconstruction results …
Using a wider variety of temp reconstructions from the peer reviewed literature produces a much different reconstruction of past temperatures. Only showing temp reconstructions that agree with each other is a form of "cherry picking" and should be avoided.
Denialists like sweeping fact-free statements
"Using a wider variety of temp reconstructions from the peer reviewed literature produces a much different reconstruction of past temperatures."

Nonsense again Paul
I've finally worked out what Paul S/G's occupation is. He writes the funnies for the weekend newspapers. His comments are so far from reality that they should be considered as "funnies".
Paul said (and implied much more, I don't need to be a mind reader to get the nasty insults that you are flinging):
"Mann's work is what has been questioned".
Care to provide some responsible back up to that remark and please don't refer me to CA? Check out the NRC report etc. for actual factual information on the MBH reconstructions.
He also said:
"Using a wider variety of temp reconstructions from the peer reviewed literature produces a much different reconstruction of past temperatures".
Just which "peer reviewed" papers are you referring to? I hope it is not Craig Loehle's paper in E&E. It is a joke, see here for details:

Whenever the Stick is mentioned, it is always as a source of controversy nowadays. Can't find it on Suzuki's website, can't find it on the Greepeace website and it has greatly diminished status in the IPCC report. Once the unis get their new textbooks, the Stick will likely get a lot less mention there also.
"Can't find it on Suzuki's website, can't find it on the Greepeace website"
Yeah, remind me what's the article format of these peer-reviewed scientific publications?
Seriously, you guys should just stop obsessing over Gore and Suzuki.

Doucki, Guinea
Getting there
The transportation to LABE cost 10,000 GF each (plus bags). From there you get transport to PITA, costing 3500 GF each. Once in Pita a car can take you to DOUCKI for 5,000 GF.
At Doucki, you can get tours from Hassan in a variety of hikes (see below). He charges 20,000GF per person per night. Well worth it! If you choose to get public transportation back to The Gambia you must backtrack to Labe. From there you must hire a local taxi to take you to the garage park for Gambia. The ride back from Labe was 19 hours long, costing 40,000GF each, and took all night and morning. They dropped us off as close as they could and we had to flag down a vehicle to take us to Velingara to get back to Basse.
Both The Hike and Doucki are well worth the trip, the expense, and the days off. We each took 13 days off total for our trip. The costs varies, but I brought $200 for the two weeks and had money left over. At Basse the money was split up into three curriences ($83 = 2,490 Dalasis; $72 = 160,000 Guinean Franc; $45 = 25,000 CFA) and those proportions worked well.
Enjoy your trip!
Hassan Bah
Who is Hassan Bah?Enjoy Doucki and enjoy getting to know Hassan and his family!
Hassan Bah, your host and tour guide during your stay in Doucki, was born in 1962 in Sierra Leone. His family's roots are in Guinea, though, and his father was born and raised in Doucki. In addition to completing high school in Sierra Leone (where his teachers included Peace Corps Volunteers), Hassan also earned an auto mechanics certification.
Leaving Sierra Leone in 1983, Hassan worked in hospitality for the Zaire Embassy in Mauritania for just over a year and in the process learned French. He then embarked for the Canary Islands where he spent the next 7 years as sea-going mechanic. His seaman's life gave him the opportunity to travel to Morocco and Norway, as well as to learn Spanish (his favorite language).
In 1992, Hassan joined his family, who had since resettled in Doucki. He began his work as a community health agent at this time, educating himself in disease prevention through reading. In addition to health education, Hassan regularly visits Doucki's valley, where he provides medicine to those with very limited access to health resources.
In 1998, Hassan met Adam Lebou, a Peace Corps Volunteer working in Donghol Touma Center, 13 kilometers from Doucki. Adam later moved to Doucki, where he built the hut that many Doucki guests stay in during their visit. The seeds for Hassan's tourism business were planted when he gave Adam and many of his Peace Corps friends and American guests hiking tours of Doucki. Word of Hassan's hospitality and Doucki's beauty spread, and now Hassan welcomes visitors throughout the year.
Hassan's family is also an integral part of his tourism efforts. Brother Theirno Maju coordinates transportation from Doucki's carrefour. Brother Abdoulrahim is an assistant tour guide as is his nephew, Alhassane. Also critical to Doucki's success are the chefs! Hassan's wife, Moimouna, mother, Oumar Sudo and sister-in-law, Mamadou Binta prepare the meals. One can easily predict that Hassan's son, Mamadou Taibou, born in 2000, will grow up hiking!
Hassan's vision for your stay is for you to feel "at home, man" and to be part of the community. He greatly enjoys visiting with his guests and not only during the hikes, but also while just relaxing in the hammocks, exchanging ideas and experiences.
The Grand Canyon (Leye – Sere)
4km Round-Trip. Easy Hike but with some steep terrain A must-see, especially if you only have an hour or so to spare!
The Valley (Eiendeh)
20km Round-Trip. Count on a maximum of 3 hours to hike down. Difficult hike. Especially beautiful in the rainy season when the Kokulo River is full.
Hyena's Rock (Tountin Bonodji)
4km Round-Trip. Easy Hike. Lots of large rock formations to discover and name.
The Bob Marley Stage (Fawre Kare)
14 km Round-Trip. A moderate hike, which brings you about half-way down into Doucki's valley. Features waterfalls, stunning overlooks and a small cave. Good camping spot.
Chutes n' Ladders (Balan)
16 km Round Trip. Difficult hike! Not for the faint of heart or foot! Most beautiful in the rainy season but also the most challenging – slippery ladders! It will bring out the Indiana Jones in you!
Vulture's Rock (Petteh Djiga)
9km Round-Trip. Easy hike with a dramatic waterfall and rock formations. Enjoy a refreshing swim between the months of June and December!
Indiana Jones World (Chanji)
5km Round-Trip. Moderate to difficult hike, depending on the Indi in you! A trip into Doucki's rainforest – swing on vines, crawl between boulders and enjoy a swirl in the Jacuzzi pool!
Wet n' Wild (Sampirin)
13 km Round-Trip. An easy but long hike. Water, water, water! Lots of fun whether you want a long swim or just to get your feet wet. Meet King-Kong along the way.
The Caves (Lento)
8km Round-Trip, moderate hike. A limestone world of rock formations. Peer into and/or explore (if you dare!) caves of various dimensions.

2013/04/05 Minutes Economics Working Group
Themes for next three weeks: 5th April – LETS and currencies – Mary; 12th April Group Dynamics and progress – Janos ; 19th April – Critique of the capitalist economy – Andy.
Local Exchange Trading – roots in the community as social network/ community currencies; LETS is upfront about being an alternative currency. Baby sitting circle – sharing tokens (buttons) 1 per hour; trading baby sitting hours etc. FIAT currency by agreement – closed circle. Need currency to start. Argentinian example – weekly meeting – bring something to sell and buy with the provisional currency. Poor quality led to debasement of the currency and criminal infiltration.
Discredited by the establishment. Once financial stability returned, the initiative declined. Brixton pounds are bought with real money – not clear benefit. Ithica hours in upstate NY. Canada in 1980 – David Weston – green dollars. Edgar Khan – Time Dollars. Hours defence against authorities taxing. John Rogers printed as an hour but is used as a money equivalent. Needs to look like money – confidence. LETS started virtually (digitally Excel/Access). Start at zero – commitment (debt) and credit balances. In practice some abuse the system. Money created by mutual credit. Value of the accumulated transactions is the wealth created by the community. Occupy – incentives for loo cleaning? Volunteering v currency. Zones – permaculture (some plants close to the kitchen etc.); currency – commune – rota (hours for chores eg. 20 hours for the community obligatory; further away from the centre the money you need money to reference value. LETS – women of a certain age looking for a man with a screwdriver – relationship – no transactions. Need strangers to maintain the momentum. Needs to be designed to scale it up – need a variety of stakeholders; otherwise it will remain small. Chi Gong for LETS credits; software available to record transactions. Local authority involvement which creates momentum (Brixton pound). The one whole truth and a half truth. Create a project, create a fund for it. Panic from overspending? Too many claims – major debt. Not a problem. But requires co-operative system with willing members. Eternal spring of goodwill.
Brixton LETS – spend what ever you want because it creates economic activity; Cafe accepted local currency but became disillusioned when all they collected were LETS tokens – business plan demands parameters and to spend the currency. Eternal spring of goodwill – inflation. Debt is in the system and is collectively owned – set up events to use the currency. Free riders – need varigate inputs from others. Block abusers. Software provides transparency and people in debt can be easily identified. Information delivered by text (Brixton). Virtulisation. It BITCOIN a LET? Clever software but not really. Introducing more substantial stakeholders but risk of government wanting to tax the income. Benefits in kind are taxed. Created by mutual exchange. Well intentioned but eclipsed by predominant currencies but it is a complementary currency – refreshes the parts other currencies cannot reach. Corruption by criminals – absence of goodwill – buddying to help others. Premised on localism/small scale; London – local meeting points – potentially scalable to 2,500. Fear – translates voluntary acts into mechanised behaviour. Not all transactions are recorded. Turns volunteering into a transactions. Once scaled, they need to be taxed – analogous to cash economy. Better than a food bank. Appear when the main economy is failing. Are there examples within thriving economy. Is there a need to eternally grow? WIR is going strong; housewife – domestic slavery – not registered on the economic scale. Desirable feature of any economy. Marginal – proper regional currencies; realistic proposition. Cost of production – local authorities use as a bulwark against central government. Modelling the economic system a good learning system – supply and demand – lack of professional in the community – is left unfulfilled; inventing currency within the prison; lack of transactions can be overcome with intervention from management; importing skills from outside. Valuing someone's time? Big ticket items? Could you buy a car? Done in ~Australia (and houses). Valuation can be with reference to real currencies or in close knit groups different valuation criteria are required. Some standardise the hourly rate. By negotiation. Value of LET is working to obsolescence – strangers to friends.

text: First day at work full time and the pumping is going well but I need my body to give a little more. Baby girl is 3 months and I'm leaving four 3-4 oz bottles for her in my 10 hour absence. Today I pumped 3x while I was gone and got 5 oz each time. My dilemma is that I usually block feed her from one side at a time and feed every 2-3 hours. But pumping is different...I'm pumping both sides at the same time with longer stretches in between 5 days a week. Will this lead to mastitis or a problem with supply on the weekends? How should I pump best to keep supply regular for my pump and her? Frequent pumping is okay since I can do it at my desk and on the commute. Had no trouble pumping loads of milk for the last baby but with this one, I have to work harder it seems! And yes, I'm drinking water and eating oatmeal!

Dr. Christopher H. Fashun, assistant professor of music and Ben Runkel, percussionDuring the first half of the 20thcentury, composers turned to the field of percussion because of the endless possibilities of experimentation and sounds. Percussionists soon established their own solo and chamber repertoire. Western Classical tradition opened to sounds of world percussion and other cultures as well as various combinations with non-percussion voices. Percussion Á la Carte is exactly what is says - an afternoon of sound combinations that include both Western and Brazilian percussion.

Central to the biblical story and the life and ministry of Jesus is the enactment of justice as envisioned in God's kingdom. In this course, we will trace this biblical vision of justice by following a number of relevant themes that run through the entire biblical corpus, such as Sabbath and Jubilee formulations, economic redistribution, communal solidarity, hospitality, and care for creation. The course will also explore dimensions of our own world and the structural injustice that exists within it, how a biblically grounded vision of justice might be actualized, and what the role of the faith community could be in embodying it.
Our time together will provide fresh and invigorating challenges, both in how we read the biblical texts and in considering together what it means for us to live faithfully in light of its resolute call to do justice.
This is a graduate course, taught by Dr. Tim Dickau, and is open to anyone interested in taking it for credit or in auditing the 4-day intensive. All audit students must have a bachelor degree or equivalent to register.
The course is conducted both online, running from April 7th to June 27th, and in class from April 7-10, 2014 for those taking it for credit.

what are somethings you take to increase your milk supply I am at the moment taking lactation drops and motilium.
my girl at 3 months old was 14lbs at at 4.5months is 13lb11oz. I have introduced a dreamfeed..we think cause she is sleeping 12 hours at night that that may be a reason she is not gaining weight. I am also going to increase the amount of feeds she has during the day. she has gained length was 24 inches at 3 months is now 25 inches.
I have had some people tell me that maybe she needs to go onto formula. I want to do anything I can to not have to put her onto formula. for me putting her onto formula would make me feel like a failure. I am also not wanting to start solids for at least another month..she hasn't shown any signs she is ready.
I am getting her weighed again next week and I am hoping she is back over her 3 month weight.
so yeah if you have any other ways to increase milk supply it would be greatly appreciated

I love this blog. It makes me laugh so hard. I, too, have a foreign mother. She may not be Korean, but oh lordy she does many of the same crazy things as Korean mothers. My mother, (who is from Spain), has given me the stank eye countless times, force feeds the family and guests, loves bargains, loves Jesus, and loves talking smack. And just like you, everything is always my fault. It doesn't matter if it's something I've done, will do, haven't done, or if it's something I saw on the street, it is always my fault.
Still, I love my mom. :) Foreign mommies for the win!

Just want to say "Thank You" for ths hilarious list. I'm not a Korean son, but I am married to
a Korean Mom and both my daughter and I really get a kick out of this
list. Thanks for making us smile!
Funny while still maintaining
an appropriate sense of "Hyo";
we all love our Korean Moms,
even if they do do some really silly things.

I've been enjoying reading your blog and am looking forward to more posts.
Being a teacher in Korea I've noticed a few things about Korean moms. One thing I've grown fond of is having my kids say "my mom says don't do _____ part of the homework" so I didn't do it. It's wonderful to be overruled by the same person who goes insane when "Solar" doesn't have homework because of test day.
I also love how the kids will tell me their mom said I'm wrong about something to do with a lesson. I could tell the kids that a noun is a person, place, or thing and the next day be told that "mom says you're wrong". I usually just say "which of us speaks English, me or your mom."
I don't know if either of these will make it to a post but I hope to see a new one sometime soon.

Hey, I love this blog! It's hilarious, and so true. Keep it up!
Another thing my mom like to do is reuse pickle jars for Kim Chee and sugar. She also reuses plastic water bottles.

I don't feel so alone anymore! I remember one of my Omini's forms of punishment was for me to sit on my knees on a hard woodfloor for as long as 30 minutes to an hour! My legs would start feeling numb and I would try to very carefully shift my weight from one knee to the other with her seeing....nope, my Korean mom had eyes every where on her head and she would reach over and smack me on my bare thigh with a long handled wooden spoon!
Another form of punishment was while she was telling me how worthless I was, she would smack my leg with yet again, a wood spoon. Smacking me continously in the same spot until she felt she was done. I never made a sound, tears would run down my face. I never pleaded.....
Thank you for your blog....now I know that I am not the only person who has a crazy and frizzy permed hair Korean mom .... I love my mom!!

Hi, my 6 week old constantly seems hungry, so I've started pumping to see how much milk I am making. I'm getting about 2.5-3.0 oz every 3 hours. My son is only about 9lb, so he's in the 25% of weight for his age.
Is 2.5-3.0oz of breast milk enough? He still seems hungry after eating this. Should I also give him some formula? If so, how much? I've read that babies his weight and age should have between 2-4 oz of milk per feeding, but I also know that formula is more difficult to digest. So, I don't know if I should give him the 2.5-3.0oz of breast milk, and then give another 2oz of formula if he still seems hungry?
FTM here, so I'm still trying to figure out everything. Thanks!

Yellowstone's Record-Breaking Year
Yellowstone National Park hosted a record number of visitors in 2009. Nearly 3.3 million people visited the world's first national park last year, up 7.5% from 2008 and up 4.6% from the previous record of 3.15 million visitors set in 2007. Why the increased numbers? Al Nash, Yellowstone National Park's Chief of Public Affairs, has some theories…
"It seems like the bad economy actually gave Yellowstone visitation a bump last year. When it comes down to it, Yellowstone is just a good value. Many people recognize that their dollar can go further in Yellowstone than at many other destinations," said Nash. "It's easier to scale up or down a Yellowstone trip – for instance camping or staying in a cabin instead of a hotel room, or choosing a picnic or fast food over a dining room meal. A visitor can also shorten the duration of their trip by a few days and still feel like they got a quality Park experience."
All Park entrances recorded annual visitation increases compared to 2008 levels. Double-digit percentage increases were recorded through the Northeast Entrance and East Entrance. The West Entrance in West Yellowstone, MT continues to be the Park's busiest, and recorded more than 1.3 million recreational visitors in 2009.
Nash also suspects that dropping gas prices factored into the rise in visitation. "There may have been some pent-up demand for a Yellowstone trip among people who postponed their trip when gas prices were sky-high in the summer of 2008."
Yellowstone wasn't alone in welcoming more visitors in 2009 than the previous year. Visitation to all U.S. national parks combined last year was 285.3 million, an increase of more than 10 million over 2008.
The Impact of Increased Visitation
While most people would agree that greater numbers of people discovering the enjoyment Yellowstone offers is a good thing, heavy visitation does put an added strain on the Park's resources. From wear and tear on hiking trails and campgrounds, to greater demand for educational programs, to increased use of water and electricity, Yellowstone's annual budget struggles to keep pace with rising visitation.
Yellowstone's law-enforcement rangers, in particular, are spread thin when visitation is high. These professionals -- who perform duties ranging from informal education and guiding, to traffic control and emergency medical response -- require top-notch equipment, facilities, and technology to make their work more efficient.
Learn about how the Yellowstone Ranger Fund is supporting the work of Yellowstone's rangers>>
With the help of Friends of Yellowstone, the Yellowstone Park Foundation seeks to make every visitor's trip to Yellowstone, safe, meaningful and enjoyable, while helping the Park protect and preserve its resources for future generations.

What's in a Name?
We often make fun of peoples' names. And there's a good reason why we do that. It's funny. Growing up in Southwest Michigan, all of us knew a Dick Shrivels in Coldwater (Coldwater being a town over near Battle Creek, of course, not the punchline in an infantile joke).
Sometimes the simple act of repeating a person's name over and over can have the same effect. My brothers once heckled Manny Ramirez for an entire game, chanting his name rhythmically everytime he took the field. It got to the point that he actually looked up into the stands and asked them to stop. Even Manny didn't like hearing his name at a certain point.
But what happens when your name gets in the way of your ability to do your job? Unfortunately, this is exactly the problem faced by Akbar Zeb, an elder statesman in the Pakistani diplomat corps. Mr. Zeb has been a distinguished member of the foreign service for decades now but has been rejected from serving several places in the Middle East. The issue? Well, here's how one headline explained it:
"Saudis Reject Pakistani Diplomat Whose Name Translates to 'Biggest Dick'".
Yeah, I guess that might do it. And when you're job is to work "with some of the largest members of world governments (sic)," you can see how a name might get in the way. Poor Akbar. Hopefully one of these days he can find a place where he'll just, uh, fit in
8 Comments
OMG! really? poor guy. Why doesn't he change his name?
That's pretty stiff resistance by the Saudis. Guess they put a wrap on that bad boy. Perhaps he should go home and take a cold shower after feeling unsatisfied about not being able to perform his assigned function. That would make anyone feel blue.
I once had a teacher named Mr. Shmuckler. No one could say his name without laughing. Poor guy.
I guess the guy we always teased and called named Faison Butz is going to be safe for the rest of his life.
Ahhh, the good old days where Prince Albert was stuck in a can, and everyone refridgerator was running marathons.
Reminds me again of the days we used to have a bit of fun with Peter Kuntz and told him he would be a perfect sex counselor…. Ahhh the glory days of rip-roaring adolescent fun……I miss those days.
Rays Renegade
I got teased (and some people STILL continue to snicker or lightly joke about my name.. yeah as if I haven't heard everything before. I have been living more than a decade ya know?) heavily for my very Korean name. People can be so cruel… they don't even realize how stupid it is. It only hurts peoples' feelings YET it also makes them stronger.
With that being said,
That truly is sad😦 And fascinating! I want to know the history behind his ancestors. Where did THAT name come from?! Goodness!!! >.<
Reminds me of the character from one of the old Monty Python movies, a Roman guy named "Biggus Dickus".

I'm exclusively breastfeeding a 7 month old (happily! and with great advice from many smart women here!).
But, I've had a cold for two weeks, including a pretty bad cough for the past 3-4 days. After many really difficult coughing fits, I now have a pretty strong pain on the right side of my back, along the bottom two ribs.
I thought I had read somewhere that breastfeeding can impact bone density. Is it possible that I could have bruised or cracked a rib from the coughing? Does anyone have any knowledge in this area? Or a resource for me to take a look at?

If you've ever heard me talk about produce before, you know that I gush about the topic. From the time I was 16 until almost the end of college, I worked in grocery stores. I worked every job in the store, pretty much, except for meat cutting (which is frightening on a lot of levels). The job I liked the most? Produce department.
It was hard work in produce. Lots of boxes to lift, pallet jacks to maneuver, rotten fruit to cull, and dumb customers to handle. But it was a fulfilling job, and being around such beautiful fruits and vegetables was – as odd as it sounds – the closest to a spiritual experience I've ever enjoyed.
When I worked in produce at HEB Central Market in San Antonio (which, if you're not familiar with the store, is like foodie heaven), I frequently handled the melon section and the soft fruit (peaches, plums, nectarines) section. I learned a lot about melons, and since it's summer, I figured I'd share some of my favorite melons and melon-picking tips here.
My favorites
My favorite melon is probably the galia melon. It's like a blend of cantaloupe (well, what people think is cantaloupe) and honeydew. It's got a skin that is firm enough not to bruise too badly and thick enough to hold a slice in your hand while you cut chunks off the melon, but the skin is thin enough to be able to smell through it for ripeness. And there's a lot of flesh and a relatively small seed cavity, so you get a lot for your money. It's also really sweet, but not so sweet that you want to stop eating after a few pieces. The problem with galias, though, is that you can't find them in many places.
My second favorite is the sprite melon. If you can find a sprite melon in the U.S., it was probably grown in North Carolina, so the melon now has an extra point of pride for me. I've heard the sprite melon is the sweetest melon you can find in the U.S., with a sugar content much higher than anything else. It's also a small melon, so you and a friend can eat it in one sitting. The problem with the sprite melon is its thin skin and relatively small amount of flesh. It can bruise easily, it's prone to seeming more ripe than it is, and it's a lot of work to get a little bit of fruit. But it's kind of worth it – very, very sweet and kind of a light pear-like flavor. And here's an interesting thing you can do with a sprite melon (or any melon): take the flesh (especially if it's overripe) and blend it into a puree. Use this puree to make a different kind of mojito. Muddle mint in a glass with some ice and rum, then add the puree in place of the sugar syrup and lime and soda. Sprite melon goes great with mint. Oh, and I'm going to take full credit for this "sprite melon mojito" cocktail recipe, thankyouverymuch!
I like watermelons well enough, but I'm not really a fan of the pocket melons you find everywhere these days. Purehearts are the most common breed you'll find in the store, and it's essentially a small (hence "pocket melon") watermelon without any seeds or cavities. They're expensive as hell for what you get, and they aren't particularly sweet. They're just convenient. So by trading convenience for taste, you're essentially getting the McDonald's of melons. Ick. Give me a good old fashioned seeded watermelon that's giant and crumbly when it's overripe. Those taste better, and plus you can spit the seeds and feel all country-like.
Good old cantaloupes are great too, especially if they're from Texas, and especially if they're from my homie's parents' farm.
Melons to avoid
Santa claus melons and canary melons. Resist the fun names – these melons aren't that great. First, they're kind of hard to find, but when you find them, they're probably old. People don't tend to buy them because they don't understand them, so the odds of getting an old, overripe one with a lot of bruises is more likely in a typical grocery store. They're also kind of fussy, difficult to determine when they're ripe, and they bruise easily (despite the thickish feeling skins). And when you get inside, there are big cavities of seeds, and the flesh isn't very sweet. Actually, my experiences with santa claus melons usually taste like cucumbers. Yuck.
Picking a melon
There are a lot of myths about picking melons, and I found when I worked in produce that people would violently defend their folky methods of picking them. But here's the truth: you can reliably pick a good muskmelon, but you can't reliably pick a good watermelon (unless you have high-tech equipment).
All melons (well, all fruits) have two ends: the stem and the flower. The stem end is clearly where the stem used to be. The flower end is the other end, the part that grew out and away from the stem. There are two broad melon categories: muskmelons and watermelons. Watermelons are the thick-rind melons you're thinking of when you think of "watermelon." Muskmelons are everything else – the thin-rind melons like honeydew and cantaloupe.
To pick any melon, you first want to examine the rind for major soft spots, bruises, rotting areas, and so on. Avoid these obviously bad melons.
To pick a good muskmelon, smell the flower end of the melon. If you can smell some sweet goodness, it's a nice, ripe melon. You may also smell some strong floral smells, which is also pretty good. If you can't smell much, it may not be ripe yet, and it may never ripen. Next, look at the stem end. If the stem is really green, then the melon was picked recently. You'll want to give it time for the stem to "die" and turn brown or black with mold before eating it, giving it more time for the melon to ripen and increase sugar content inside. If the stem is black with mold (often the case with cantaloupes and galias), make sure it's not rotted and soft to where your finger breaks the skin when you push on the stem. A little bit of mold is fine, though.
To pick a good watermelon, you basically just need to assure it's not horribly bruised or rotted, and then you just take your luck. The rind is too thick to smell anything, and the rind is also too thick to really tell anything from thumping it. That's right – you can't thump a watermelon to tell if it's ripe. I've had several-generation watermelon farmers tell me that they can't even tell anything from thumping a watermelon, so don't look like an idiot thumping it in the store…and be suspicious of any produce clerk helping you pick out a ripe one by thumping it. You can tell something from thumping if you have a sophisticated meter on the skin of the melon to detect slight variations in sound and vibration, but, really, who has these meters laying around? The same is true for watermelons as is for muskmelons regarding the stem, though. If it's green, it's fresh off the vine and may need time to ripen. Mostly, though, with watermelons you're just trying to avoid a big soft spot in the rind (which will often occur near the stem end or on the yellow part of the rind where the melon rested on the ground as it grew).
Some produce departments will be willing to plug a watermelon for you (really, all the good produce departments should be willing). Plugging is the only way to determine ripeness before buying a watermelon, but be sure you're willing to commit to buying it if the plug turns out good. Plugging is simply just like carving out a small, long chunk of the melon to show the flesh – kind of like how they drill ice cores in the arctic. If the flesh comes out awesome from the plugging, then you buy it. If it comes out dry and gross, then you don't.
Cutting a melon
When you get your melon home, don't put it in the fridge. Only put cut melon in the fridge in tupperware or something airtight.
To cut a muskmelon, cut it in half vertically (the cut running from stem to flower). Then, cut the half-spheres into long slices in the same direction. If the rind is firm enough, and you know what you're doing, and you have a sharp enough knife, you can hold the slices in the palm of your hand and run the knife along the inside of the rind toward you to cut away the flesh in long slices. Otherwise, put the slices on their sides on a cutting board and trim the skin off from the side. Next, you can cube the rind-less slices of flesh or just leave them in slice form. This guide is a pretty good step-by-step for what I'm talking about.
To cut a watermelon, you can either cut it in half vertically or horiztonally. Place the cut side down on a cutting board so it's stable, and start cutting large slices from it, keeping the rind on to act as a handle when you eat it. Or, if you're careful, you can cut horizontal wheels of melon off the whole melon and then cut the wheels into quarter slices. This second method is a bit dangerous, though, because the round side of the melon may make it move on the cutting board. You can trim a small piece off the bottom to make it flatter and not roll. Always use a giant knife for cutting watermelons. You can also trim the rind off if you so choose.
Have a lot of leftover melon? Put them in salads, desserts, or use the delicate sugar taste to make purees for cocktails or blended drinks. You can also freeze leftover melon in an airtight ziploc bag, which makes it easier to use for blended drinks later anyway.

Indianapolis Colts
The Indianapolis Colts are a professional football team based in Indianapolis, Indiana. They are currently members of the South Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) in the National League. The club was officially founded in Baltimore, Maryland in 1953, but can trace its history to the Dayton Triangles, a founding member of the league that was originally created in 1913. After a series of changes, it assumed the name Baltimore Colts, replacing a previous team that folded in 1950. Playing at Baltimore's Memorial Stadium, the Colts became the first team to have cheerleaders. The team then relocated to Indianapolis in 1984, first playing at the Hoosier Dome, which was then renamed the RCA Dome before moving to Lucas Oil Stadium in 2008. The Colts won four championships (three Championships in 1958, 1959, 1968; and Super Bowl V in 1971) while in Baltimore. Since moving to Indianapolis, they won Super Bowl XLI in 2007. Also since 1998, the team has become the first in league history to win 12 games or more in five consecutive seasons—extending this record to seven after the 2009 season.
Origin of the Colts
The Colts franchise was officially created in 1953, but can trace its history to before the League actually began: its earliest predecessor was the Dayton Triangles, a founding member of the League that was originally created in 1913. That team went through the following changes:
Dayton Triangles relocated and renamed Brooklyn Dodgers in 1930.
Changed name to Brooklyn Tigers in 1944. In the same year, the Boston Yanks are founded.
Merged with Boston Yanks in 1945 as the wartime "The Yanks."
Franchise cancelled in 1945 by league and the team's temporary merger with the Boston Yanks is made permanent, as a parallel team (AAFC New York Yankees) is founded by the Tigers' former owner.
Miami Seahawks of the AAFC are purchased and relocated to Baltimore and renamed the Colts (Originally wearing Green and Silver). This franchise was dissolved by the league on January 18, 1951.
Boston Yanks move to New York in 1949 and become New York Yanks, absorbing much of the Yankees' roster the next year.
New York Yanks move to Dallas in 1952 as Dallas Texans.
Texans become a road team halfway through the 1952 season and are dissolved shortly thereafter.
Dallas Texans franchise was moved to Baltimore on January 23, 1953 where, keeping the Colts name, they keep the Texans team colors of blue and white.
The AAFC Baltimore Colts
The 2 leagues merged in 1950, and the Colts joined the National League. After posting a 1–11 record for the second consecutive year, the franchise was dissolved by the league on January 18, 1951, because of its failing financial condition. But many Baltimore fans protested the loss of their team and continued to support the marching band (the second in professional football, after that of their local rivals, the Washington Redskins) and fan club, both of which remained in operation and worked for the team's revival.
The Dallas Texans
After two seasons without professional football, Commissioner Bert Bell challenged Baltimore in December 1952 to sell 15,000 season tickets within six weeks in order to re-enter the League. That 15,000-ticket quota was reached in four weeks and three days. On January 23, 1953, under the principal ownership of Carroll Rosenbloom, the Dallas Texans franchise was moved to Baltimore where, assuming the Colts nickname, the Texans' team colors of blue and white were retained. This is the franchise that exists today in Indianapolis. The Texans had a long and winding history; they started as the Boston Yanks in 1944 and merged with the Brooklyn Tigers (previously known as the Dayton Triangles, an original League team established in the 1910s) for the 1945 season before moving to New York as the Bulldogs in 1949. The team then became the Yanks in 1950, and many of the players from the New York Yankees of the All-America Football Conference were added to the team. The Yanks moved to Dallas after the 1951 season, but played their final two home games of the 1952 season at the Rubber Bowl in Akron, Ohio. Note: This team should not be confused with the Dallas Texans of the American League; they were a founding member of the AFL in 1960 and in 1963 moved to Kansas City and became the Chiefs.
The Baltimore Colts
On December 28, 1958, Baltimore faced the New York Giants in the Championship game at Yankee Stadium. Unitas handed off to Alan Ameche who dove across the goal line to give Baltimore a 23–17 win, in what many call the greatest game ever played. The game would serve as a launching point for the NFL's remarkable boom in popularity. The next season, Baltimore had a Championship Game rematch with the New York Giants, with the game this time being played at Memorial Stadium. For the first three quarters the Colts fell behind 9–7. Unitas led the Colts back in the fourth quarter scoring 24 unanswered points, and Baltimore to claim their 2nd straight NFL Championship with a 31–16 victory.
Baltimore Colts at Super Bowl III
Super Bowl III was the third Championship Game in professional American football, but the first to officially bear the name Super Bowl (The two previous Championship Games would retroactively be called Super Bowls as well). This game is regarded as one of the greatest upsets in sports history. The heavy underdog American League champion New York Jets (11–3) defeated the National League champion Baltimore Colts (13–1) by a score of 16–7. It was the first Super Bowl victory for the AFL. Baltimore moves on. The new Baltimore team was named the Ravens after a fan vote. The Colts' final game in Baltimore was played on December 18, 1983 against the Houston Oilers. When the Colts play a game in Baltimore the name Colts is not used. The Colts are introduced as the Indianapolis professional football team and referred to as Indy on the stadium scoreboards. 1999 In what was the greatest one-year turnaround in League history, the Colts went 13-3 in 1999, tying a franchise record for most wins in a season, and won the AFC East. They finished tied for the second best record in the conference with the Tennessee Titans (who did not win their division), the second best record in the League with the Titans and St. Louis Rams, and earned a first-round bye. In the first ever playoff game in Indianapolis, however, the Colts fell 19-16 to the eventual AFC Champion Titans. Manning, James and Harrison earned Pro Bowl honors, while kicker Mike Vanderjagt won the League scoring title and James took home the Offensive Rookie of the Year award.
Baltimore Colts Logos and uniforms
The Colts' logo and uniforms have remained the same since the team's debut in 1953. The helmet is white with a speed blue single stripe & horseshoe logos. The blue jerseys have white shoulder stripes while the white jerseys have blue stripes. The team also wears white pants with blue stripes down the sides. From 1982 through 1986, the Colts wore gray pants with their blue jerseys. The gray pants featured a horseshoe on the top of the sides with the player's number inside the horseshoe. The Colts continued to wear white pants with their white jerseys throughout this period, and in 1987, the gray pants were retired. The Colts wore blue pants with their white jerseys for the first three games of the 1995 season, but then returned to white pants with both the blue and white jerseys. The team made some minor uniform adjustments before the start of the 2004 season, including reverting from blue to the traditional gray face masks, darkening their blue colors from a royal blue to speed blue, as well as adding two white stripes to the socks. In 2006, the stripes were removed from the socks. In 2002, the Colts made a minor striping pattern change on their jerseys, having the stripes only on top of the shoulders then stop completely. Previously, the stripes used to go around to underneath the jersey sleeves. This was done because the Colts, like many other football teams, were beginning to manufacture the jerseys to be tighter to reduce holding calls and reduce the size of the sleeves. Although the white jerseys of the Minnesota Vikings at the time also had a similar striping pattern and continued as such (as well as the throwbacks the New England Patriots wore in the Thanksgiving game against the Detroit Lions in 2002, though the Patriots later wore the same throwbacks in 2009 with truncated stripes and in 2010 became their official alternate uniform), the Colts and most college teams with this striping pattern (most notably the LSU Tigers football team) didn't make this adjustment. Replica jerseys sold for retail still have the original striping pattern, though authentic game-day worn jerseys do have the partial striping pattern of the current jerseys. The 2010 season will see the Colts with an "updated" third jersey.

I had a good supply at that point and began pumping right after DS would go down for his longest stretch of sleep. While at work I don't take a lunch and break up the time I would have taken for lunch and pump instead (3 times). I still do my late night pumping session after my little guy is in bed. I take what I pumped the day before to send w/ my son to the sitters. Anything extra gets frozen for times when I can't seem to pump enough. My extra came in handy for work travel!

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
was dying to just see this new chapter.
As I thought, Itachi's going to meet Sasuke. Booohya.
Now, I miss the Naruto-Kurama team.
Anyway, all in all, AWESOME chapter. D
Sick chapter. Itachi will meet with Sasuke and will I think they will fight but we will see. Orochimaru is crazy, wonder what his stuff is, and I still don't think Zetsu is dead, if he was then the manga is seriously coming to an end.

I'm sure translating manga like this isn't the easiest thing ever, but come on. What's up?
Yea +1, the quality of the translation fell several levels from last week's...:confused:
If Kishi were to keep adding chapters with action, the series would end way quicker ! These chapters are great because it tones everything down, while still adding a nice hook in each chapter.
Now what's left on our mind is what Suigetsu found, If Itachi will run into Sasuke next chapter, and what Karin is doing lul
I personally found this to be a great chapter
Originally Posted by Dorohedoro
I'll tell you why this chapter was bad. Zetsu apparently forgot about how weak the white Zetsu's combat power is because he charges Sasuke head on. Even Chiyo from the Sand knew that it's retarded to try to attack an Uchiha head on. Then, in Orochimaru's secret lab that NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT... he has a scroll sitting OUT, on top of everything, that can swing the entire course of the war? I mean, does Kabuto even know about this? seems to me, if it was a special scroll, it would be hidden a little better? then, somehow, Karin is able to construct a picture of sasuke and hide lock picking tools in it? i mean, the Manga is fantastical enough as is, i don't think it needs pointless plot twists which don't make much sense themselves... I'm ok with Sasuke not showing off much of his powers, he shouldn't need to against Zetsu... but cmon, Zetsu should be smarter than that, even if it was just his clones. and how does this progress the manga at all? if anything, it just set the manga back another 4 chapters because now kishi needs to explain what Karin is doing, Suigetsu needs to find Sasuke, Sasuke needs more footsteps to explain where he's going and possibly another 3 frames of him holding his head saying "nii-sama"... UGH! Suigetsu was way cooler when he was explaining the 7 shinobi swordsmen... he should continue that quest... double lame on kishi for sealing them all up without even showing a fight!
This... he attacked him head on come one even if they were clones they dont know that? suigetsu finds a scroll and says hey lets take it to sauske smh come on now
I wonder what suigetsu found?
Sasuke is so evil now. Itachii would be so sad and dissapionted in him why does it has to be this way?! I still have hope in those reinforcements though. I hope they don't die either. :_(
proves girls are really pathetic... i swear... guy tries to kill her and she goes and kisses his ass still
Maybe Orochimaru's secret has something to do with rinnegan and thats what he really wanted the whole time but seeing as it wasnt possible he went for the sharingan to try and transform it himself, might be why kabutomaru is still fixed on getting sasuke and his new passion for learning the secrets of the so6ps
to that the next time sasuke and itachi might ( which i am kinda doubting) it could be that kabuto will be there too
This chapter was too freaking great... Loved it. But I almost don't like this new mystery we were given with that scroll of Orochimaru's... Although maybe I just dislike that Suigetsu and Juugo are in the picture... That's probably it.
But, ah, questions: does anyone know what was up with Sasuke's hand on his sword in a couple of panels? Doesn't matter at all, really, I'm just curious as to the movement and why Kishi would focus in on just that, like, twice. And secondly: a lot of people have said that maybe Sasuke and Itachi can share a vision. I have really mixed feelings about this. Anyone wanna share their thoughts?
Alright chapter...I give it a 3/5.Bulding up to sasuke vs naruto and also to the plot with orochimaru.I hope snake eyes returns because I only see him as being a true villian in naruto.Let us see how this plays out.
Just as I suspected.....another meeting of minds from the Uchiha brothers...and Itachi would still kick his ass....this chapter deserves a 3....only one power was shown...how can u gain any feedback off that.....anyway I think the next few chapters will be plot building...
I thought it was a pretty good chapter. I like that Orochimaru is continuously being bringing brought up again. Shows that he's not just a one and done villian. I'll admit that Sasuke's eyes looked pretty freaking badass. Plus, it was a pretty good setup for what's to come next chapter. Gave it a 5 for that.
An ok chapter, not bad but not good either. 3 is the most I will rate this.

I don't think what Sauske knows is the actual truth. I think Itachi tells him the REAL truth and then it probably just pisses Sauske off more. But I agree with you that I don't see them actually fighting.

i think that was the truth because itachi told naruto not to tell anyone because it could still cause problems in konoha
what makes you guys think sasuke will meet up with itachi i didnt see the confirmations ??

I'll get back to you on that...
October 18, 2012 —
Clearly, none of us are getting any younger. Still smarting from the reality check that was my 40th high school reunion, I've been forced to take a good look in the mirror and assess the situation. "I've looked better," I rasped, as I prepared to make my way to the North American Cultural Laboratory (NACL) in Highland Lake.
Aware that the NACL presents theatre that is new and unusual, I took a peek at their website (www.nacl.org) and read that I was about to experience an evening of Russian playwright Anton Chekhov's "Three Sisters" turned upside down by a theatrical troupe out of New York called "Conni's Avant Garde Restaurant." Intrigued, I investigated further and learned that "Conni's is not a locale but an elite group of adventurous theatrical performers. Our events mix the ingredients of fine food, drink, song, dance, text, spectacle, and most importantly: you." (www.avantgarderestaurant.com)
Back aching and feeling a bit creaky, I heaved myself out of the truck and put on a happy face, knowing that (if nothing else) I was in for a wild ride. Sure enough, Conni's crew delivered. In the old days, a production like this might have been called "theatre of the absurd" and the promise of "song, dance and spectacle" was pretty much spot-on. Suffice it to say that the show was memorable. Between the meal (bread, borscht and beer), Conni's colorful cast of characters (say that three times!) and enthusiastic audience participation, the promise of an evening where "artists rule and fascinating people come together to celebrate life, food and all that is good" was fulfilled.
On Sunday, October 21, I'll be on stage (uh oh) at the NACL, hosting "True Confessions: The Game Show," an interactive story telling experience that involves local "yarnslingers," some of whom will share true stories taken from the pages of their lives, while others will be lying. It's up to the audience to ferret out the real from the imagined, and Dharma the wonder dog will be handing out prizes as my trusty canine sidekick. Will the audience be entertained? I'll get back to you on that.

A central Florida man accused of stealing manhole covers is now in custody.
Polk County Sheriff's Office deputies said they arrested Christopher Fink in Haines City on Thursday evening.
Detectives said Fink, 40, stole 166 manhole covers earlier this month and then attempted to sell them for scrap.
Fink faces felony charges of grand theft, dealing in stolen property and giving false verification to a secondhand metal dealer.


text: That's not the first time he's in trouble with the law I believe, during his stint in NY it was often mentioned that he somehow was able to straitghten up and started playing basketball again. I guess once he slipped off the Walsh's watch he's got himself in all kind of trouble again. Old habits die hard.

A (kinda) Kardashian takes in a Miami Swim Show

There was a sorta genuine celebrity in the house at Monday night's spirited Wildfox Swim show, part of the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim event at Miami Beach's Raleigh Hotel.
The swim shows aren't known for their high-calibre star spotting, but you make do with what you you're delivered.
After all, it's July in South Beach…
Anyway, the reality star present is a part of that lovely TV family, the Kardashians.
No, it wasn't Kim herself or Khloe or Kourtney or even Kris or Bruce Jenner.
Or Rob, Jr., thank God.

She's not one to take a compliment, but her students say there's something special about Carol Rumpel, a 5th grade teacher at Arcadia School District.
"She's really been the brighten up your day kind [of person]," said Carson Pehler, one of her students. "If you're having a bad day and you see her, you know you're going to have a great day."
What sets her apart the most might be her bearded dragon, which interacts with Carson and her other students during reading time. The little lizard sits on her shoulder and in the laps of the kids while they read aloud.
But what most likely sets Mrs. Rumpel apart is her dedication to go the extra mile for every single student, even if it means learning a new language.
Brianna, one of Mrs. Rumpel's students, is deaf and communicates via sign language. Mrs. Rumpel took the initiative to teach her class the language.
"It kinda got started at the beginning of the year trying to help so Brianna can communicate with us," Carson explained. "I think it's really changed how our class has been."
Thanks to Mrs. Rumpel's dedication, Brianna is no longer the only one who can communicate with just her hands. But Mrs. Rumpel doesn't just change her kids' lives in her classroom.
"Donovan is a student that was diagnosed with cancer last year, and he's been out of school for all of last year," Mrs. Rumpel said of one of her students. "I wanted to really connect with him somehow."
She found a way. Mrs. Rumpel skypes daily with Donovan via an iPad. Other students say it helps Donovan stay in touch with his friends while he battles the disease at home.
Whether's it's Skyping with Donovan daily, or signing with Brianna and her classroom, Mrs. Rumpel's making a difference in these kids' lives. But this humble teacher won't take the credit - she's giving it back to them.
"I learn something from the students every day," she said. "They're the ones who keep the education spark for me alive."

Conservation and the Boy Scouts of America have been partners for a long
time. Camping, hiking, and respect for the outdoors are a part of the Scouting
heritage. Many of the requirements for advancement from Tenderfoot through
Eagle Scout rank call for an increasing awareness and understanding of the
natural sciences. Many former Scouts have become leaders in conserving our
environment and protecting it from abuse. Right now Scouts are involved in
learning about environmental problems and actively working to make a
This awards program was created to recognize those that have made significant
contributions to conservation. It was begun in 1914 by Dr. William T. Hornaday,
director of the New York Zoological Park and founder of the National Zoo
in Washington, D.C. Dr. Hornaday was an active and outspoken champion of
natural resource conservation and a leader in saving the American bison
from extinction. He named the award the Wildlife Protection Medal. Its
purpose was to challenge Americans to work constructively for wildlife
conservation and habitat protection. After his death in 1937, the award
was renamed in Dr. Hornaday's honor and became a Boy Scouts of America
In the early 1970s, the present awards program was established with
funding from the DuPont Company. At that time, the late Dr. Hornaday's
idea of conservation was broadened to include environmental awareness.
The Hornaday Awards are highly prized by those who have received them:
Approximately 1,100 medals have been awarded over the past
80 years. These awards represent a substantial commitment of time and energy
by individuals who have learned the meaning of a conservation/environmental
ethic. Any Boy Scout, Varsity Scout, or Venturer willing to devote the time
and energy to work on a project based on sound scientific principles and
guided by a conservation professional or a well-versed layperson can qualify
for one of the Hornaday Awards. The awards often take months to complete,
so activities should be planned well in advance.
The fundamental purpose of the Hornaday Awards program is to encourage
learning by the participants and to increase public awareness about natural
resource conservation.
and practicing sound stewardship of natural resources and environmental
protection strengthens Scouting's emphasis on respecting the outdoors. The
goal of this awards program is to encourage and recognize truly outstanding
efforts undertaken by Scouting units, Scouts and Venturers, adult Scouters,
and other individuals, corporations, and institutions that have contributed
significantly to natural resource conservation and environmental
Guidelines for the William T. Hornaday Award Conservation Adviser
A Boy Scout, Varsity Scout, or Venturer working toward a William T. Hornaday Award has taken on a great task, and a noble one: to provide distinguished service to natural resource conservation. As the candidate's adviser, you have been recognized as a conservation or environmental professional or qualified layperson in conservation, usually with a degree or advanced degree in one of the natural sciences, and you will guide the candidate through the selection, planning, and accomplishment of a significant conservation project.
The Awards
There are several different Hornaday awards. (The gold badge and gold medal are for adults.) Think of them as an "olympics of conservation."
Checklists for Completing and Submitting Applications
To apply or to nominate a unit, complete the application for the unit award and submit it to your local council service center for review and approval by the council conservation committee and Scout executive. The local council forwards the approved application to the national office of the Boy Scouts of America.
How Do I Earn a Hornaday Medal?
Since 1917, about 1,100 Hornaday medals have been awarded. The Wildlife Protection Medal was a forerunner to the Hornaday Awards. Dr. William T. Hornaday, an ardent conservationist, established this awards program to recognize Scouts who undertook and completed truly exceptional conservation projects. Earning one is hard work—it is supposed to be—but it's worth it.
Applications and Nomination Forms
Forms for the William T. Hornaday Awards may be downloaded from this page, along with instructions for completing and submitting applications. For more detailed instructions, consult the adviser guidelines, BSA Supply No. 21-379.
Who Was William T. Hornaday?
Dr. Hornaday (1854-1937) was a pioneer in wildlife conservation. He believed in Scouting. He helped found the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., and was founder, then director, of the New York Zoological Park for more than 20 years.
How Applications Are Judged
The application, with supporting documentation, is the primary basis upon which decisions are made. The national Hornaday Awards Committee may grant as many awards as possible, provided the demanding expectations are met. Dr. Hornaday stated, "Unusual prizes are to be won only by unusual services."
National Council Criteria in Judging
For Hornaday Awards conferred by the National Council, Boy Scouts of America, these are the major criteria used in judging. Also see "How Applications Are Judged." (BSA local councils hold applicants for the Hornaday unit award, badge, and adult Scouter gold badge to similarly high standards.)

The Hornaday Awards program encourages and recognizes units, Scouts, and Venturers who design, lead, and carry out conservation projects that are based on sound scientific principles and practices. The projects should contribute to sound conservation and environmental improvement in the local community, the region, or the nation. The applicant is expected to research potential projects and to choose, with guidance from a Hornaday adviser, a worthy project.
