Skip to comments.20 Common Grammar Mistakes That (Almost) Everyone Makes
Posted on 02/01/2012 12:47:25 PM PST by Daffynition
Ive edited a monthly magazine for more than six years, and its a job thats come with more frustration than reward. If theres one thing I am grateful for and it sure isnt the pay its that my work has allowed endless time to hone my craft to Louis Skolnick levels of grammar geekery. [snip]
Who and Whom
This one opens a big can of worms. "Who" is a subjective — or nominative — pronoun, along with "he," "she," "it," "we," and "they." It's used when the pronoun acts as the subject of a clause. "Whom" is an objective pronoun, along with "him," "her," "it", "us," and "them." It's used when the pronoun acts as the object of a clause. Using "who" or "whom" depends on whether you're referring to the subject or object of a sentence. When in doubt, substitute "who" with the subjective pronouns "he" or "she," e.g., Who loves you? cf., He loves me. Similarly, you can also substitute "whom" with the objective pronouns "him" or "her." e.g., I consulted an attorney whom I met in New York. cf., I consulted him.
This is one of the most common mistakes out there, and understandably so. "That" is a restrictive pronoun. It's vital to the noun to which it's referring. e.g., I don't trust fruits and vegetables that aren't organic. Here, I'm referring to all non-organic fruits or vegetables. In other words, I only trust fruits and vegetables that are organic. "Which" introduces a relative clause. It allows qualifiers that may not be essential. e.g., I recommend you eat only organic fruits and vegetables, which are available in area grocery stores. In this case, you don't have to go to a specific grocery store to obtain organic fruits and vegetables. "Which" qualifies, "that" restricts. "Which" is more ambiguous however, and by virtue of its meaning is flexible enough to be used in many restrictive clauses. e.g., The house, which is burning, is mine. e.g., The house that is burning is mine.
This is the crown jewel of all grammatical errors. "Lay" is a transitive verb. It requires a direct subject and one or more objects. Its present tense is "lay" (e.g., I lay the pencil on the table) and its past tense is "laid" (e.g., Yesterday I laid the pencil on the table). "Lie" is an intransitive verb. It needs no object. Its present tense is "lie" (e.g., The Andes mountains lie between Chile and Argentina) and its past tense is "lay" (e.g., The man lay waiting for an ambulance). The most common mistake occurs when the writer uses the past tense of the transitive "lay" (e.g., I laid on the bed) when he/she actually means the intransitive past tense of "lie" (e.g., I lay on the bed).
Contrary to common misuse, "moot" doesn't imply something is superfluous. It means a subject is disputable or open to discussion. e.g., The idea that commercial zoning should be allowed in the residential neighborhood was a moot point for the council.
They're similar, but there's a difference. "Continual" means something that's always occurring, with obvious lapses in time. "Continuous" means something continues without any stops or gaps in between. e.g., The continual music made it the worst night of studying ever. e.g., Her continuous talking drove him crazy.
The word "envy" implies a longing for someone else's good fortunes. "Jealousy" is far more nefarious. It's a fear of rivalry, or a suspicion that someone might want what's yours. Jealousy is also used more often in sexual situations. "Envy" is when you covet your friend's good looks. "Jealousy" is what happens when your significant other swoons in the presence of your good-looking friend.
"Nor" expresses a negative condition. It literally means "and not." You're obligated to use the "nor" form if your sentence expresses a negative and follows it with another negative condition. "Neither the men nor the women were drunk" is a correct sentence because "nor" expresses that the women held the same negative condition as the men. The old rule is that "nor" typically follows "neither," and "or" follows "either." However, if neither "either" nor "neither" is used in a sentence, you should use "nor" to express a second negative, as long as the second negative is a verb. If the second negative is a noun, adjective, or adverb, you would use "or," because the initial negative transfers to all conditions. e.g., He won't eat broccoli or asparagus. The negative condition expressing the first noun (broccoli) is also used for the second (asparagus).
"May" implies a possibility. "Might" implies far more uncertainty. "You may get drunk if you have two shots in ten minutes" implies a real possibility of drunkenness. "You might get a ticket if you operate a tug boat while drunk" implies a possibility that is far more remote. Someone who says "I may have more wine" could mean he/she doesn't want more wine right now, or that he/she "might" not want any at all. Given the speaker's indecision on the matter, "might" would be correct.
Many writers seem to assume that "whether" is interchangeable with "if." It isn't. "Whether" expresses a condition where there are two or more alternatives. "If" expresses a condition where there are no alternatives. e.g., I don't know whether I'll get drunk tonight. e.g., I can get drunk tonight if I have money for booze.
"Less" is reserved for hypothetical quantities. "Few" and "fewer" are for things you can quantify. e.g., The firm has fewer than ten employees. e.g., The firm is less successful now that we have only ten employees.
The word "farther" implies a measurable distance. "Further" should be reserved for abstract or hypothetical lengths. e.g., I threw the ball ten feet farther than Bill. e.g., The executive climbed further up the ladder of success.
"Since" refers to time. "Because" refers to causation. e.g., Since I quit drinking I've married and had two children. e.g., Because I quit drinking I no longer wake up in my own vomit.
Contrary to popular usage, these words aren't synonymous. A "disinterested" person is someone who's impartial. For example, a hedge fund manager might take interest in a headline regarding stock performance with which he has no money invested. He's "disinterested," i.e., he doesn't seek to gain financially from the transaction he's witnessed. Judges and referees are supposed to be "disinterested." If the sentence you're using implies someone who couldn't care less, chances are you'll want to use "uninterested."
Unless you're frightened of them, you shouldn't say you're "anxious to see your friends." You're actually "eager," or "excited." To be "anxious" implies a looming fear, dread or anxiety. It doesn't mean you're looking forward to something.
This is a tough one. Words like "rather" and "faster" are comparative adjectives, and are used to show comparison with the preposition "than," (e.g., greater than, less than, faster than, rather than). The word "different" is not a comparative adjective; it's used to draw distinction. When "different" is followed by a prepositional phrase, the preposition should be "from," similar to "separate from," "distinct from," or "away from." e.g., My living situation in New York was different from home. There are rare cases where "different than" is appropriate, if "than" operates as a conjunction. e.g., Development is different in New York than in Los Angeles. When in doubt, use "different from."
In order to employ proper usage of "bring" or "take," the writer must know whether the object is being moved toward or away from the subject. If it is toward, use "bring." If it is away, use "take." Your spouse may tell you to "take your clothes to the cleaners." The owner of the dry cleaners would say "bring your clothes to the cleaners."
It isn't a word. "Impact" can be used as a noun (e.g., The impact of the crash was severe) or a transitive verb (e.g., The crash impacted my ability to walk or hold a job). In no way should this word be assembled into a modifier. "Impactful" is a made-up buzzword, colligated by the modern marketing industry in their endless attempts to decode the innumerable nuances of human behavior into a string of mindless metrics. Seriously, stop saying this.
Here's a trick to help you remember: "Affect" is almost always a verb, and "effect" is almost always a noun. e.g., Facebook affects people's attention spans, and the effect is usually negative. "Affect" means to influence or produce an impression — to cause hence, an effect. "Effect" is the thing produced by the affecting agent; it describes the result or outcome. There are some exceptions. "Effect" may be used as a transitive verb, which means to bring about or make happen. e.g., My new computer effected a much-needed transition from magazines to Web porn. There are similarly rare examples where "affect" can be a noun. e.g., His lack of affect made him seem like a shallow person.
Too many people claim something is the former when they actually mean the latter. For example, it's not "ironic" that "Barbara moved from California to New York, where she ended up meeting and falling in love with a fellow Californian." The fact that they're both from California is a "coincidence." "Irony" is the incongruity in a series of events between the expected results and the actual results. "Coincidence" is a series of events that appear planned when they're actually accidental. So, it would be "ironic" if "Barbara moved from California to New York to escape California men, but the first man she ended up meeting and falling in love with was a fellow Californian."
Undoubtedly the most common mistake I encounter. Contrary to almost ubiquitous misuse, to be "nauseous" doesn't mean you've been sickened: it actually means you possess the ability to produce nausea in others. e.g., That week-old hot dog is nauseous. When you find yourself disgusted or made ill by a nauseating agent, you are actually "nauseated." e.g., I was nauseated after falling into that dumpster behind the Planned Parenthood. Stop embarrassing yourself.
If you're looking for a practical, quick guide to proper grammar, I suggest the tried-and-true classic The Elements of Style, by William Strunk, Jr. and E. B. White. A few of these examples are listed in the book, and there are plenty more. Good luck!
Prolly not.
I'd have gotten further in life if I knew these simple rules :-)
How about "most unique"? "A myriad of"?
As to your question regarding on or two spaces after a period. I am pretty sure that I learned in my high school typing class in the 1960s to make two spaces after a period, after a colon and after a semicolon.
As a matter of fact, I usually still do that — I just did it above! — but Microsoft Word usually flags it as an error.
>>>But will those who need it, read it?<<<
Slim chant's of that.
Oh! OH!! I can't believe someone else brought it up!
Every morning during our daily meeting, "those ones" is constantly being used. It drives me absolutely bonkers! A work buddy is going to hit me one of these days because I'm trying to break her of that habit. ugh!
I two try too abide by these rules. Also the issue between these to words - their and they're. There important.
And than there is 'when' and 'whence'!And, of course, 'where' and 'whither!'
Irregardless, its the messege that counts.
And another that drives me crazy is "way this" or "way that" as in "way better" as an example. It's "these ones" and "those ones" that are examples of the great grammar they don't teach in school now. I've heard teachers talk that way. Thank G-d I was home schooled. I won't go into "free gift" I always hear in commercials.
It annoys me when someone uses anxious instead of eager to describe their feelings of excitement over an upcoming event. I also try, but often fail to not end a sentence with a preposition. Also, I feel guilty using the word "got" as my 7th grade teacher taught that there is always a better word to use then the word "got." A rule like that really makes you think about what you are actually saying as "got" can be used to substitute for many other words. Think about it next time you use the word "got" there is a more appropriate word that you could use.
And then she goes "that is so awesome", and like, I was sooo not into it.
Johnny wants the red car — fire-engine-red if he can find it — instead of the blue car.Isn't proper usage without spaces around the mdash?
Johnny wants the red car—fire-engine-red if he can find it—instead of the blue car.
"Continue on" is my favorite. The "on" is redundant.
Haven't read this one yet: "Where's he at?" My mom always responded with, "Behind the at..." (OOH! And as I am typing this, I realize I am using TWO spaces after the period, still following the directions of my typing teacher in high school.)
Myriad (preceded by the word "a" or followed with the word "of")is one of the most misused words. If you can't literally replace it with "many" without the sentence sounding awkward, you are probably misusing it.
Mixed metaphores. Doncha luv those? Here's one from a concurrent thread (context obvious):
"Orly is our Joan and we will not throw her to the wolves."
LOL! Great...just great! Thanks, a new pet peeve...
English is a difficult language up with which we must all put.
Each time you use it, it will create a non breaking space.
Like this.
One would find an 'error' common if one insisted that one accepted meaning of a word is incorrect:
Definition of NAUSEOUS
: causing nausea or disgust : nauseating
: affected with nausea or disgust
nau·seous·ly adverb
nau·seous·ness noun
See nauseous defined for English-language learners »
See nauseous defined for kids »
Usage Discussion of NAUSEOUS
Those who insist that nauseous can properly be used only in sense 1 and that in sense 2 it is an error for nauseated are mistaken. Current evidence shows these facts: nauseous is most frequently used to mean physically affected with nausea, usually after a linking verb such as feel or become; figurative use is quite a bit less frequent. Use of nauseous in sense 1 is much more often figurative than literal, and this use appears to be losing ground to nauseating. Nauseated is used more widely than nauseous in sense 2.
Examples of NAUSEOUS
The smell of gasoline makes me nauseous.
I began to feel nauseous.
Instead what they do is all sit together and feel really bad, and pray. Nobody does anything as nauseous as try to make everybody all pray together or pray aloud or anything, but you can tell what they're doing. David Foster Wallace, Rolling Stone, 25 Oct. 2001
Then vs. Than is an issue that really gets under my skin, too. You should also create a graphic for Woman vs. Women.
As if my life weren't trying enough,
I have to live on a street named Gough.
I really wouldn't mind it though,
why not simply pronounce it Gough?
If slow is slough, to rhyme with through,
Couldn't you pronounce it Gough?
You can lead a horse to the watering trough,
but you can't make him drink,
And I won't say Gough!
You're obviously a flatlander, because you forgot "tote" versus "carry," lol.
Obviously a goy. What about 'shlep' versus 'carry'?
No doubt someone else has posted this, but it is my pet peeve: "A lot" is two words!
What kind of publication does this person edit that this is the most common mistake they encounter?
What about "ALOT"? Looks like one word to me.
I have several more grammar pet peeves but for now I'll leave it alone ... don't want to be the cause of you not sleeping well tonight. >grin<

Safires Rules For Writers
As adulterated by Sid W Sodnagel
1. Remember to never split an infinitive
2. The passive voice should be avoided.
3. Do not refrain from avoiding to put statements in the negative form.
4. Should you use a positive instead of a double negative? The answer is not no.
5. Subject and verb has to agree.
6. A person should be careful to use a singular pronoun with a singular noun in their writing.
7. Proof read carefully to see if you any words out.
8. Check spelling. Im series.
9. No incomplete sentences.
10. If you reread your work, you can find on rereading a great deal of repetition can be avoided by rereading and editing.
11. A writer must not shift your point of view.
12. A run-on sentence is a sin, dont commit one.
13. And don't start a sentence with a conjunction.
14. Place a pronoun as close as possible, especially in long sentences, as of 10 or more words, to its antecedent.
15. Writing carefully, dangling participles will be avoided.
16. If any word is improper at the end of a sentence, a linking verb is.
17. A preposition is generally a terrible word to end a sentence with. However, slavish adherence to this rule will sometimes produce one up with which sophisticated readers will not put.
18. Attempt to avoid gratuitously verbing a noun.
19. Dont Use Capitalization Indiscriminately.
20. Dont confuse the spelling of the neuter possessive pronoun with the contraction of it is. Its confusing, and the sentence loses its impact.
21. If you are going to use a foreign term per say, it is de rigor to spell it correctly. Do so, andwalla!your writing will improve.
22. Dont use like when you mean as, like so many writers do.
23. Avoid hyperbole, and dont overuse exclamation points. If Ive told you this once, Ive told you a million times!!!
24. Eschew obfuscatory stilted modalities of expression.
25. Always pick on the correct idiom.
26. Avoid trendy locutions that sound flaky.
27. Avoid colloquial stuff.
28. Lose the pure slang, you suckah!
29. Mixed metaphors are a pain in the ass and should be thrown out the window. However, if youre going to use one anyway, take that bull by the horns and run with it.
30. Proactively seek out and eliminate unnecessary buzzwords. Make this your special competency and gain share of mind among your peer group.
31. Last but not least, avoid cliches like the plague; seek viable alternatives.
So, the young George W Bush goes to Harvard. Arriving on the campus for the first time, he is strolling the Quad, and wants to find the library. He sees a nice young lady walking his way.
"Excuse me, ma'am but I've just arrived from Texas. Can you tell me where the library's at?"
Her only response is a cold stare, and she walks on.
Now, young W spies a gentleman with a pipe, a bow tie, and a tweed jacket with leather elbow patches.
"'Scuse me professor, but could you kindly tell me where the library's at?"
"Young man, at Hahvahd, we don't end our sentences in prepostions."
"Oh, I see. Well that case, could you tell me where the library's at, butthole?"
By the way, a thousand kudos for your observation.
He: "Let's lie together tonight."
She: "OK, I love you and I'll be with you forever. Your turn."
... or people who misspell when discussing misspellings? :-)
Thanks! That works.
There's some debate about the spacing around the em dash (or mdash). I've seen it both ways. My copy-editor likes it with spaces, but I'm somewhat convinced she's insane.
Because it's the better lyric for a pop song. That's why.
The double space was common practice with fixed fonts, as in typewritten. Proportional fonts insert a space-and-a-half automatically. That is why Word flags the double space as an error.
She wasn't wrong. When we used typewriters with fixed fonts, two spaces was the norm. It was only with the advent of proportional spaced fonts and desktop publishing that one space became standard.

Ismailis: From Yemen to India and back

First appeared in Yemen Today
"Visitors must step inside the house," says Haj Hassan Abdullah al-Hutaib, the imam of the mosque, as he insists on lunch. His guests decline repeatedly. He then excuses himself to carry out the noon call to prayer in the mosque.
The village children spot buses winding down the road along misty terraced mountains. In all anticipation they hurry with their bags to the village entrance. They set up along the walkway and wait for their visitors, like they do every day. They're selling pecans, raisins and candy. The buses arrive, one after another bringing Indian nationals through Sana'a from around the world.
The pilgrims snake through the village garden, green with grass, and individually or in small groups make their way past the pigeons' tower: Men in white thobes (traditional male dress) and embroidered kufias (traditional headdress) and women in colorful dresses decorated with lace and floral patterns, similar to those of the village women. They start climbing the stairs.
"Jalan! Jalan!" (Come up, come up) says a man standing outside a red stone hotel.
Another busload of pilgrims arrives. Then another, for a total of 10 buses, or around 200 pilgrims that day.
"Jalan," the man repeats to the new wave of arrivals, gesturing for them to come up to the hotel for lunch.
Some pilgrims stop to visit the bright white mausoleum of da'i (spiritual leader) Hatim bin Ibrahim, adorned with Quranic verses, and the centerpiece of the village of Hutaib in the Haraz Mountains, where a community of Yemeni Dawoodi Ismailis lives.
How did the relationship between Hutaib and India come to be? Why is the da'i of this community of Ismailis based in Mumbai, India? And why does that leadership exclude the two other major branches of Ismailism, the Nizari and the Sulaymani sects?
Long before they would be known as Dawoodis or, more commonly, Bohras, there lived in the 12th century the third da'i, Hatim bin Ibrahim al-Hamidi, whose formal title was al-Da'i al-Mutlaq (the Absolute Missionary). He was of the Banu Hamdan tribe of Yemen and succeeded his father Ibrahim to the highest religious post.
Abbas Hamdani, Emeritus Professor of History at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, writes that Da'i Hatim was a writer, a versatile poet and an organizer of the faith. The da'i modified and formalized the structure of the Ismaili da'wa (mission), in an evolution from its origins in Fatimid Egypt that wouldn't change to the present day.
It is believed that Da'i Hatim himself built the mosque overlooking the village of Hutaib to worship in it and to honor al-Sayyida al-Hurra (The Noble Lady), otherwise known as Queen Arwa al-Sulayhiyya, who ruled Yemen for over five decades from 1084 to 1138.
For it was none other than Queen Arwa who would expand the Ismaili faith in Yemen and beyond, in a dynasty that would rule from Dhu Jibla, and whose borders would reach as far as Mecca in current-day Saudi Arabia.
The Sulayhid queen is reported to have been strikingly beautiful, intelligent, courageous and of an independent character, like her mother-in-law and role model, Queen Asma. Arwa's marriage to the son of the founder of the Sulayhid dynasty in Yemen led her to the reins of power. She was involved in running the kingdom even before her husband's death, following war injuries he sustained and his retreat from public life.
For a long time the Sulayhids maintained a strong and mutually beneficial relationship with the Fatimid rulers in Egypt. The alliance provided security and support to the Sulayhids whenever their rule was challenged locally. For the Fatimids, the Sulayhid kingdom was strategically important in the Indian Ocean trade route and, through it, the spread of Ismailism in Yemen and Asia. The Fatimids were of the original Ismaili sect that was born after a division among the Shias in the 8th century AD over a question of leadership. Deriving their name from Fatima, the Prophet's daughter, they ruled Egypt from 909 AD for over two centuries from Cairo, the capital which they founded, and built the University of al-Azhar, which has been an important center of learning for Islam.
It may have been the important role Queen Arwa played in the Ismaili faith and political necessity following her husband's death, scholars contend, that made Egypt's Imam appoint her as hujja, the highest religious position at the time.
"Arwa became the religious figure whose example was to be followed by the community of believers," writes Samer Traboulsi, Assistant Professor of History at the University of North Carolina at Asheville. "She also became the ultimate authority for all the da'is [in Yemen], since she was the official representative of the Imam."
The long-ruling queen would further spread the faith in Sind and Hind (now Pakistan and India) through the relationship developed with Asia in the Indian Ocean trade. According to the London-based Institute for Ismaili Studies (IIS), the Sulayhids are credited with playing an important role in the spread of Ismailism in South Asia, establishing a new Ismaili community in Gujarat, India, in 1067. They also oversaw the selection of da'is who were dispatched from Yemen to run the new community's affairs.
But trouble arose when the Fatimid Imam al-Mustansir Billah died in Egypt in 1094 and the question of his successor split the Ismaili community. This would be the first schism to divide them, but not the last. The disagreement over the Imam's successor resulted in the initial two sub-sects of Ismailism. The first were the Nizaris, who followed the Imam's eldest son Nizar. Also known as Khojas, they live in India, Syria, and South and West Asia, among other regions worldwide. Their current leader is Prince Karim al-Hussaini Aga Khan IV, the 49th Imam.
The second faction of Ismailis approved of the Imam's successor to the throne, Nizar's brother al-Mustaali, whom Queen Arwa recognized as Imam. Thus the Ismaili communities of Yemen and Gujarat became known as Mustaalis.
But they would later come to be better known as Tayyibis in Yemen following a second schism in 1130, when the queen supported Imam al-Tayyib. Little is known about al-Tayyib, but Tayyibis believe that he went into occultation (concealment), and thus the period since then until the present is known as satr, or concealment.
It was during this second schism that Queen Arwa severed ties with Fatimid Egypt because of al-Tayyib's occultation. The move would ensure the survival of Ismailis long after the collapse of both the Fatimid kingdom in Egypt and the Sulayhid dynasty in Yemen, according to IIS. She re-designated the title of the then-da'i as al-Da'i al-Mutlaq, or Absolute Missionary, allowing the faith to be independent from political rule. The Absolute Missionary was put in charge of the affairs of the community and, in the absence of the imam, was the highest authority of the Tayyibis.
Queen Arwa's death in 1138 was effectively the end of the Sulayhid dynasty with no one to succeed her. She was buried in the mosque she built in Dhu Jibla. The Ismaili faith, however, did in fact survive and traveled on its own journey that led it back to India.
Now without political leadership, Ismailism would witness one of its bleakest times under Zaydi Shia imams in the 16th century AD and later, who considered the sect to be heretical. The Tayyibi Ismailis, who consisted of the Hamdani Yam branch in Wadi Dahr and the Yaaburi in Haraz, turned to the more tolerant Ottomans for protection at the time, but this would soon backfire. The Ottomans' failure to maintain control of upper Yemen resulted in the persecution of the Ismaili community by the vengeful imam, according to Professor Traboulsi.
"Most of the Zaydi imams oppressed and starved the Ismailis," says a knowledgeable member of the community who wished to remain anonymous.
Negotiations with the imam allowed masses of Ismailis to seek refuge in the Haraz Mountains, where they relocated their center from Wadi Dahr. But continued persecutions caused the then-da'i to escape to Zabid, where he appointed the first Indian da'i, who traveled to Yemen from Gujarat.
The community was able to thrive in Haraz and Wadi Dahr for several decades under Ottoman rule in the 16th century, but an epidemic took the lives of high-ranking Tayyibis and prompted the return of many Indian Ismailis to India. In the face of growing Zaydi power, the first Indian da'i was selected to rule from India.
Over 500 years after the establishment of the Gujarat community by Yemen's Sulayhids, the spiritual leadership was transferred to Gujarat, and later to Mumbai, where successive da'is have ruled until the current da'i, Dr. Mohammed Burhanuddin.
Ties between Yemen's estimated 60,000 Ismailis and India have remained to this day. Professor Abbas Hamdani's father, Hussain al-Hamdani, is described by the IIS as one of the pioneers of modern Ismaili studies and is the author of the book The Sulayhids and the Fatimid Movement in Yemen.
Professor Abbas Hamdani explained his Yemeni ancestry in an e-mail: "In the early eighteenth century, my ancestor, Shaykh Ali b. Said b. Ali b. Husayn al-Hamdani migrated from Haraz, Yemen to Surat, India at the invitation of the then Tayyibi Dawoodi Da'i. He was a learned Shaykh and he brought with him rare manuscripts of the Ismaili community. Our family bears the name Hamdani as we are descended from this Shaykh Ali who belonged to the Yaaburi branch of the Hamdani tribe settled in Haraz. For the last six generations we have been Indians keeping up the tradition of Arabic learning and the study and augmentation of Ismaili literature."
Da'i Burhanuddin has been received by President Ali Abdullah Saleh on several occasions, and is credited with renovations in the village of Hutaib and elsewhere, as well as with efforts to replace the village's qat trees with coffee trees.
"In 1999 alone, 50,000 qat trees were replaced with coffee trees," says Mohammed al-Hamdani, a Dawoodi Ismaili and instructor of English as a Second Language.
The 16th century, a dark time for Ismailis in Yemen, witnessed towards its end yet another schism over a leadership succession, dividing the Tayyibis into the Sulaymani and Dawoodi branches, named after the successors they followed. The IIS estimates that there are around 700,000 Dawoodis around the world.
The majority of Sulaymanis have made Saudi Arabia's Najran their center since 1640. They are also known as Makarima after the tribe of al-Makrami which originated in the village of Tayba in Yemen. According to a 2004 Saudi census, they number around 408,000 in Najran, and their da'i is al-Fakhri Abdullah bin Mohammed al-Makrami.
Like other religious minorities historically persecuted in the Middle East and elsewhere, Yemeni Ismailis, who turned secretive in order to protect themselves, were surrounded with invented stories such as the discrediting of their claim to the Prophet's lineage and, more offensively, having tails.
"Some people misunderstand or misinterpret Ismailism," says Mohammed al-Hamdani. "Many stereotypes and rumors were spread about them historically by the Imam. It's indicative that [Ismaili] shrines and forts are on top of mountains."
Da'i Hatim's mausoleum in Hutaib is a site of pilgrimage not only for Dawoodis but for Sulaymani Ismailis as well, since he lived before the schism between the two.
"[The visit to shrines] is controversial," explains Ibrahim al-Harazi, whose family is Yemeni Sulaymani. "In Sunni Islam, it's not only haram (forbidden) but polytheistic to visit shrines. But for us, we are not praying to them. When we visit, we read some parts of the Quran and say prayers. The Prophet's daughter Fatima used to visit her father's shrine."
In Yemen's ancient village of al-Qalaa, later renamed Tayba, with scenic views of Wadi Dahr, Ismailis visit the shrine of a da'i in the courtyard of a mosque frequented by the village's Zaydi community. The village, historically important to Ismailis, is now home to around 250 Sulaymanis, says Haj Mohammed Abdullah, an elderly, learned member of the sect.
He receives guests from Najran who teach in Sana'a in a Saudi cultural exchange program and who come to him for advice. He indulges his guests by recounting some Ismaili history, and speaks highly of Queen Arwa and her contributions to Yemen.
"Ismailis are a peaceful people," he says.

Hi you all!
I went to both concerts in Argentina and the soundcheck for the first one (november 10th).
He didn't play Hot As Sun, but he played Celebration.
The video of the fans on stage with Paul is mine, but my Youtube account have been cancelled... A friend of mine uploaded again to his account.
Being there, at the concerts, was the best experience of my life. Not to mention that I've got Paul's guitar pick and Abe's drumsticks!!!!
Oh, one more thing... We've been so lucky, because Paul played for 90 minutes in the soundcheck, but on november 11th was only half an hour long. And in Brasil he cancelled one soundcheck because of the rain.
And I loved to hear MMT the second night, totally surprised!

Upcoming Changes to the Fantasy Flight Games Forums 01/20/2017Hello Fantasy Flight Games forum community! This week, we will be making some important changes to your Fantasy Flight Games community account and the way that you log into the Fantasy Flight Games community forums and web store. We have been working hard to integrate with the rest of the Asmodee group, and we are happy to announce a unified way to access all the websites and apps made by Fantasy Flight Games, Days of Wonder, and Asmodee! For most users, nothing will change: you will still log into the Fantasy Flight Games forums using your current login name and password. Only the login user interface will be new. For a few users, your credentials might be slightly changed. For example, this could happen to users who have both a Fantasy Flight Games and Days of Wonder account, or in the case of conflicting login names across platforms. When these situations occur, special e-mails will be sent to those users with an easy explanation about those changes and what steps to take next. For any of you receiving those e-mails, please make sure to follow the instructions carefully. Remember, official communications from Fantasy Flight Games or Asmodee.Net will never ask for your password. What are the benefits for you as a player? Using a unified account to access all of our web services and apps makes your life simpler. Over time, you will see new features emerging, such as keeping all of your friends under a single account, finding friends easily in apps with online play, or developing your personal profile by adding to your board games collection. These are just some of the features that you will see during the next year, once this important technical step is complete. Important note: The migration of the forums to our new system will take place on Tuesday, January 24th. The forums will be offline for about two hours during that time. Once the migration is complete, older forum posts may look strange for up to 24 hours as we rebuild them in our new system. We can't wait to connect our board game communities and build bridges between universes, game systems, players, events, groups, game clubs, and more! This is only the first step in bringing people and games closer together. For more information, read our FAQ at https://asmodee.helpshift.com/a/asmodee-net/.

NYPA Requests N.Y.C. Power Cutbacks Thursday
NEW YORK—The New York Power Authority (NYPA) Thursday activated its Peak Load Management (PLM) program here in anticipation of possible record power demand from the extremely hot weather.
Participating government and business customers in New York City have been asked to reduce electricity use to limit the power carried over transmission lines from power plants outside the city, between 12 noon and 6 p.m. Reliability requirements provide that in-city power plants meet a minimum of 80 percent of the peak demand of the five boroughs.
"The New York Power Authority's Peak Load Management Program helps handle the spikes in power demand from the increased air-conditioner use during heat waves like this," said Eugene W. Zeltmann, NYPA president and chief executive officer. "The program, which is one of various energy-management initiatives under Governor Pataki's leadership, really makes a difference on those summer days when demand for power pushes up against available capacity."
Zeltmann noted that in addition to enhancing reliability, the program contributes toward lowering overall electricity prices, which tend to rise as the margins between demand and electricity supplies narrow.
A total of 14 NYPA customers are participating in the PLM program—now in its sixth year—at 93 locations. Together, they've committed to reduce their electricity use by a total of 61 megawatts (mw), or about the power demand of more than 60,000 homes.
Participants cut back through such measures as turning off nonessential lighting and computers, adjusting air-conditioner settings, running fewer elevators and shutting down decorative fountains.
Among those participating are the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the New York City Department of Environmental Protection, the City University of New York, and Citibank.
NYPA pays $40 for each kilowatt (kw) of electricity the participating customers commit to reduce. It can schedule PLM events for up to 15 weekdays, from June 1 through September 30, with the cutbacks limited from two to six hours, between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m.
Customers are given a day-ahead alert and a two-hour notice on the day of the event, confirming the program's activation.
The Power Authority supports similar load-reduction programs that include additional NYPA customers in other parts of the state. Those initiatives, along with the PLM program, combine for a potential peak-load reduction of about 275 mw linked to NYPA's efforts.
The peak-demand initiatives complement major energy-efficiency programs that the Power Authority has undertaken for public facilities throughout the state. Those programs, which include high efficiency lighting, and new heating, ventilating and air-conditioning systems and electric motors, have lowered statewide electricity bills by more than $90 million a year and electricity use by about 190,000 kw, or the output of a midsized power plant. They've also contributed to curbing greenhouse gas emissions by about 705,000 tons a year.

A Kahuna of a food truck

"This isn't your ham and pineapple pizza," Mark Jakobsen tells two shaggy teenagers as they read the menu posted on the brightly colored food trailer.
Jakobsen is the owner and chef of the Big Kahuna food trailer at The Hitch food trailer park. He and is wife, Lori, serve authentic Hawaiian food with an Asian twist.
Born in Tokyo, raised in Maui, Hawaii, Jakobsen was introduced to the kitchen and the world of food at a young age.
"I didn't have a choice, I had to get into it. When I was nine my mother married a chef from Copenhagen, Denmark…He'd bring me to his restaurants and use me as a free dishwasher," he said.

As the number of Republicans vying for the presidency reaches new levels of absurdity, candidates are scrambling to affirm their conservative bona fides. If you can stomach the pandering, it's a good time to explore the ideas bouncing around the movement, and when necessary, prune off the poisonous limbs.
Alas, for all of its typical promotions of free enterprise, free trade, and individual liberty, the modern conservative movement retains a peculiar and ever-growing faction of folks who harbor anti-immigration sentiments that contradict and discredit their otherwise noble views. For these, opposing immigration is not about border control, national security, or the rule of law (topics for another day), but about "protecting American jobs" and "protecting the American worker."
Consider the recent shift of Scott Walker. Once a supporter of legal immigration, Walker now says that immigration hurts the American worker, and that "the next president and the next Congress need to make decisions about a legal immigration system that's based on, first and foremost, protecting American workers and American wages." Or Rick Santorum, who has made no bones about his bid for the protectionist bloc. "American workers deserve a shot at [good] jobs," he said. "Over the last 20 years, we have brought into this country, legally and illegally, 35 million mostly unskilled workers. And the result, over that same period of time, workers' wages and family incomes have flatlined." (more…)

DSU alumnus and filmmaker Isaiah Nathaniel will make his alma mater a part of the premiere tour of his new documentary 16th and Philly when it screens on campus at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 11 in the Longwood Auditorium of the Bank of America Building.
The screening is free and open to the public.
Mr. Nathaniel, who also played basketball for DSU from 2000-2004, has done a documentary on the famed North Central Philadelphia Basket League – known commonly in Philly as the 16th Street League, because its outdoor courts are located on the corner of 16th Street and West Susquehanna Ave. in North Philadelphia. During its prominent years of the early 1980s to the early 2000s, it was considered one of the top pick-up leagues on the East Coast.
The league produced a number of players who went on to compete in college, overseas and in professional leagues and the NBA such as Hank Gathers, Bo Kimball, Doug Overton, Lionel Simmons, Ronald "Flip" Murray, Cuttino Mobley, Aaron "AO" Owens, Rodney "Hot Rod" Odrick and many others.
Mr. Nathaniel said the documentary was made to honor the memory and legacy of the 16th Street League and preserve some of the stories.
"Anytime people talk about basketball in Philly, there's always some who remember and talk about the 16th Street League," Mr. Nathaniel said. "Whether you witnessed it as a player or a spectator, it never leaves you."
Following the film, there will be a question-and-answer period between the audience and the filmmaker.

Economic recovery, at home, in Europe, across the globe, seems to be on everyone's minds these days. In the United States, the engine to power our economic recovery is fueled by human and physical resources right here in our own hemisphere. No one knows this better than the Council of the Americas. Since its founding in 1965, the Council's approximately 200 members account for a large percentage of U.S. investment in Latin America and the Caribbean. Their investment is linked by a shared belief that free markets and private enterprise, coupled with strong democratic governance, offer the most effective means to achieve regional economic growth and prosperity.
Yesterday, when we addressed the Council at their annual conference, Deputy Secretary Bill Burns and I took the opportunity to emphasize that the United States' road to recovery lies right here in our region. Secretary Clinton has described it as "the power of proximity," and I'd like to share a few facts with you that speak to the vital interest we have in investing in our partnerships with our neighbors, and what further steps our Administration is taking to ensure that our shared hemispheric future is safe and prosperous.
In the last 15 years, 56 million Latin American and Caribbean households joined the middle class. Projections indicate that by the year 2030, 72 percent of Latin America and the Caribbean will be in the middle class. In the next five years alone, the economies of Latin America and the Caribbean are estimated to grow by more than 30 percent on average. That's a lot of consumers of U.S. made goods and services. And a lot of folks who will be producing goods and services we in the United States want and need.
Did you know that 42 percent of U.S. global exports stay right here in our own region? Since 2009, those exports have increased by more than $200 billion, to nearly $650 billion, a 46 percent increase in three years. Those exports represent more than four million U.S. jobs. Here's one no one ever guesses right on: we export three times as much to Latin America as we do to China.
NAFTA is the largest free trade area in the world, producing more than $18 trillion in goods and services. With the passage of free trade agreements with Panama and Colombia last fall, we are now set to have trade partnerships with 12 countries from the Arctic to the Straits of Magellan.
Half of our U.S. oil and petroleum imports come from right here in our hemisphere. Only 16 percent of our crude oil and petroleum product imports came from the Persian Gulf in 2011. Our region accounts for one-quarter of the world's crude oil production, one-third of the world's coal production, one-third of the world's natural gas production, and one-third of the world's electricity production.
These numbers all speak to the economic importance of our neighbors for our own national economic well-being. But we must work together to develop even further our partnerships in the region. President Obama asked leaders at the CEO Summit prior to the Summit of the Americas in Cartagena last month, "How do we make sure that this integration is benefiting a broad base of people...and giving businesses opportunities to thrive and create new products and services?"
That is the question of the moment. How do we grow business and bring new households into the global economy? In Cartagena, we announced programs that aim to provide the people in our hemisphere with the energy, education, connectivity, and access to the economic engines of growth, and bring the other half into the middle class.
Connect 2022 is a regional initiative to provide universal access to electricity in our hemisphere by 2022. 100,000 Strong in the Americas is a goal to increase educational exchange in our hemisphere so that 100,000 students in Latin America and the Caribbean are studying in the United States, and 100,000 of our students are studying there, furthering personal, educational, linguistic, research, and business ties. The Broadband Partnership of the Americas will increase broadband and internet access throughout the hemisphere, bolstering a key driver of economic growth in today's wired economy. The Small Business Network of the Americas will support success and job creation in small- and medium-sized enterprises, and encourage greater trade among these businesses throughout the Western Hemisphere. The WEAmericas initiative will work with women entrepreneurs, who are significant accelerators of economic growth, to leverage public-private partnerships to increase women's economic participation and address key barriers women confront when starting and growing businesses.
With these initiatives, we are building a base from which our shared regional prosperity can continue to grow. We are on the road to recovery, and it starts right here in the Western Hemisphere.
Henry in the U.S.A. writes:
I think we should all take note of the remarkable success of Argentina under the inspired leadership of Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner. Her recipe for success includes absolute insistence upon national sovereignty as opposed to globalism and free trade; rejection of financial speculation; and a commitment to science, technology and the development of infrastructure.

Spring theater lineup
Thursday, January 14, 2010
The revolutionary musical theater �The Threepenny Opera� is also among the featured performances coming to campus this spring, April 20-25 on the Center Stage of the Performing Arts Center.
Kicking off the spring theater lineup at St. Cloud State University is "Don Juan," the popular tale of a libertine rogue who immensely enjoys seducing women and takes pleasure in fighting their champions.
The play adapted by legendary playwrights Tirso de Molina, Moliere and Alexander Pushkin, is directed by Vladimir Rovinsky. The story of the legendary ladies man "Don Juan" will appear at the Arena Stage of the Performing Arts Center, Feb. 16-21.
The revolutionary musical theater "The Threepenny Opera" is also among the featured performances coming to campus this spring.
Using the sound of 1920s Berlin dance bands and cabaret, the opera proclaimed "by and for beggars" satirizes traditional opera, creating the bombastic musical theater based on the theories of poet-playwright Bertolt Brecht and composer Kurt Weill. "The Threepenny Opera" transformed old-fashioned opera into new musical theater, setting the standard for subsequent hits like Chicago and Cabaret to follow.
Set in Victoria, London, the play focuses on Macheath, an amoral, anti-hero criminal who marries Polly Peachum. This displeases her father Jonathan Jeremiah Peachum, who controls the beggars of London. He then vows to have Macheath hanged. The opera also features the jazz standard, popularized by the likes of Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald and Michael Bublé, "Mack the Knife."
Brenda Wentworth will direct "The Threepenny Opera" which will run April 20-25 on the Center Stage of the Performing Arts Center.
Rounding out the trio of theater productions is the "Repertory Dance Theatre" production featuring choreography by Jennifer Bader, David Deblieck, Catie Hill, Justin Jones and R.J. Ringer on the Center Stage of the Performing Arts Center, Feb. 25-27.
Productions begin at 8 p.m. The Box Office opens at 7 p.m. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. Sunday matinees of "Don Juan" and "The Threepenny Opera" start at 2:00 p.m. Box office opens at 1:00 p.m. and doors open at 1:30 p.m.
Tickets are $10 for adults, $7 for seniors and non-St. Cloud State students. Admission is free for St. Cloud State students with an ID, and faculty and staff receive two free with an ID.
Order tickets online or by calling (320) 308-4636.
Students in the Department of Theatre, Film Studies and Dance receive a comprehensive education in their chosen field of study. Faculty in the programs take the approach that these disciplines are artistic, and seek to balance academic theory with practical applications and/or performance.

Despite of the fact that Nvidia Corp. unveiled some details about its next-generation GeForce architecture named Fermi at its GPU Technology Conference this week, introduction of actual products based on the code-named G300/GT300/NV60 graphics processing units (GPUs) are only expected to hit the market in Q1 2010, which is at least three months from now.
Nvidia is officially tight-lipped regarding the time-to-market of its next-generation GeForce, Quadro and Tesla products that are powered by the new Fermi architecture. However, a number of media reports (1, 2) suggest that the first graphics cards from Nvidia that support DirectX 11 and a number of other innovations will only become available in the first quarter of next year.
The lack of Nvidia DirectX 11 graphics processors on the market will leave ATI, graphics business unit of Advanced Micro Devices and the arch-rival of Nvidia, the only supplier of enthusiast-class graphics adapters in the coming months, which will help to boost sales as well as market share. In fact, ATI will quite comfortably sell its ATI Radeon HD 5870, 5850, 5770 and 5750 graphics cards during the holiday season to those, who want DirectX 11 now. However, economic turmoil may not allow AMD to fully take advantage of its current technology success. On the other hand, the first quarter of a year is rarely good for sales of graphics cards, hence, Nvidia will also hardly be able to sell a lot of its high-end graphics boards in Q1 2010.
The flagship Fermi graphics processor will feature 512 stream processing engines (which are organized as 16 streaming multi-processors with 32 cores in each) that support a type of multi-threading technology to maximize utilization of cores. Each stream processor has a fully pipelined integer arithmetic logic unit (ALU) and floating point unit (FPU). The top-of-the-range chip contains 3 billion of transistors, features 384-bit memory GDDR5 memory controller with ECC and features rather unprecedented 768KB unified level-two cache as well as rather complex cache hierarchy in general. Naturally, the Fermi family is compatible with DirectX 11, OpenGL 3.x and OpenCL 1.x application programming interfaces (APIs). The new chips will be made using 40nm process technology at TSMC.
At the GTC, Nvidia demonstrated the A1 revision of the Fermi-G300 graphics chip made in late August, whereas usually the company uses only A2 or even A3 revisions on commercial products. It usually takes months to create a new revision, therefore, it is highly unlikely that the new GeForce GTX 380 arrives in 2009.

Below is my son (in green) who came home for Mother's Day from college. THAT is a Mother's Day present if I ever saw one. He leaves tomorrow, as he got a job where he was....darnit. His girl friend Erica, is next to him. Maggie is my sister's Daughter. She is little Autumn's (red headed ginger) Mom. And her husband next to her. Good times here.
Here are Bryce and Autumn playing in the "jungle"
My sister Ardie, and her husband. Mom got her a rooster..... on a bicycle.... cute! I will show you my gift later!
Jilly, Someone you might know, Jess and Evan with Bryce
(Evan taking a photo of me taking a photo of him)
We like to torment kids a bit ya know, but they love it
Then of course, there has to be horse play
Bryce has a fascination for the water.... I agree, it's just cool. One of my earliest memories, was pumping water from those old hand pumps.
Jilly is getting ready to do some "jumping" and I'm talking with her about it. I'm wearing my Mother's Day gift from my Mom..... a sexy apron, that says "Cooking Diva" I love to cook.... and I always wear an apron.... and apparently mine is ho hum, and has gotten pretty icky.... LOL.... so now I have this ! I was wearing a sundress anyway, and if I'm in the field, I wear boots.... cute huh????
Jump #1. I'm happy with that one. It's ok.
THIS is an awesome jump. She has given him his head. Reins are loose. She's UP and over his neck, and her feet are supporting her. She's 7, I'm proud!
Here is the "come down" her feet are supporting, hands on his neck, so she doesn't jerk his mouth (we work hard at that) and she's "looking ahead, where she wants to go" Yep, I'm proud of her!
Marshmallow is wondering why she isn't being ridden. soooooo
So, Bryce decides to ride. He really hasn't been riding 'alone', but today, for Mother's day, he goes and does it. He is riding his Daddy's saddle. I bought that saddle about 26 years ago.... that is one of those good purchases. Bryce says "Bye! I have to go 'round' up some cows like Grandpa" and he rides into the sunset
Practicing his spins. Maybe we have a reiner up and coming!
I hope all of your Mothers' Days were as good.

Faster Progress Needed on Targets to Protect World's Key Nature Sites, says UN Report
Hyderabad (India), 18 October 2012 - Despite the growing number of nature reserves, national parks and other protected areas across the globe, half of the world's richest biodiversity zones remain entirely unprotected.
Protected areas are being managed in a more equitable way, with a greater role for indigenous communities. But current investment in protected areas is only around half of what is needed to support endangered species, protect threatened habitats and deliver the full benefits that sustainably-managed protected areas can deliver.
These are among the main findings of a report from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) that tracks progress towards internationally-agreed targets on the world's protected areas.
The report was presented today at the 11th Conference of the Parties to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CDB COP 11) in Hyderabad, India. The study received the the official backing of countries at COP 11 this week as a major contribution towards tracking progress on global efforts to increase protected areas.
Two years ago countries set a goal under the CBD that by 2020, at least 17 per cent of the world's terrestrial areas and 10 per cent of marine areas would be equitably managed and conserved.
The Protected Planet Report 2012 says that protected areas have increased in number by almost 60 per cent, and in area by just under 50 per cent, since 1990. But the study states that poor management, under-funding and a lack of critical data on protected areas mean that the world is making insufficient progress towards the 2020 goals.
Produced by UNEP's World Conversation Monitoring Centre (WCMC) in partnership with the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the study is the first in an annual series that will monitor global efforts to support and expand protected areas.
"Protected areas contain some 15 per cent of the world's carbon stock and support the livelihoods of over one billion people, making them a crucial factor in supporting biodiversity, ecosystem services and human livelihoods," said UN Under-Secretary-General and UNEP Executive Director Achim Steiner.
"This new report provides not only the fact and figures required by decision-makers, but outlines ways to overcome fundamental challenges in the management of protected areas. It highlights the key actions required to meet international goals, and to harness the multiple economic and environmental benefits that sustainably managed protected areas can provide," added Mr. Steiner.
Global Protected Area Coverage
According to the most recent figures, just over 12 per cent of the world's terrestrial areas are thought to be protected today.
To meet the CBD target of 17 per cent, an additional 6 million square kilometres of land and inland waters would have to be recognized as protected by world governments - an area more than twice the size of Argentina.
Marine protected areas are lagging even further behind. Around 1.6 per cent of the global ocean area is protected, mostly in near-coastal areas. To meet the CBD target of 10 percent, an additional 8 million square kilometres of marine and coastal areas would need to be recognized as protected - an area just over the size of Australia. However, the UNEP study states that the number of very large marine protected areas (MPAs) has grown significantly in recent years. Today, there are over 13 MPAs each with an area greater than 100,000 square kilometres. Overall, marine protected area coverage has increased by over 150 percent since 2003.
Coverage of Biodiversity - Are Protected Areas in the Right Place?
The UNEP study uses a number of indicators to asses the location of exisiting protected areas. These include 'ecoregions' (large areas with characteristic combinations of species distinct from adjcent areas) and other internationally-recognized biodiversity zones, such as Important Bird Areas.
The study finds that the global protected area network does not yet provide adequate coverage of the world's terrestrial ecoegions. Latest figures show that half of the world's key ecoregions only have 10 per cent of their area protected. A further 10 per cent of global ecoregions have less than 1 per cent of their area protected, suggesting critical gaps in biodiversity protection.
Only 13 percent of the world's marine ecoregions meet the CBD's 10 per cent coverage target. The UNEP study says that a dramatic acceleration in the creation or expanasion of marine protect areas is needed to cover strategic sites and reduce biodiversity gaps.
The number of Important Bird Areas completely covered by protected areas has risen to 28 percent, yet just under half had no coverage at all.
This could have significant impacts on efforts to reduce the loss of species and habitats:
Global datasets for Important Bird Areas and other key diversity sites have only become available in the last ten years. More effort is needed, says the UNEP study, to ensure that decision-makers have access to updated data on the location of marine and terrestrial ecoregions.
The UNEP report says that the ecological performance of protected areas also remains poorly understood. Further studies are needed to anaylze the impacts of protected areas on species, ecosystems and genetic resources. This will also require improved, comprehensive datasets on protected areas, and on biodiversity trends outside protected zones.
Management and Governance - Key Challenges
From small nature reserves to large national parks, all protected areas require effective management to achieve their objectives. Countries have also committed to managing protected areas in a more equitable way, where indigenous communities, civil society and other non-government bodies play an active role.
According to a 2010 study, less than a third of the world's protected areas have a management plan in place, and only a quarter of all protected areas have been judged to have 'sound management'. Lack of funding, facilities and equipment, staff shortages and limited interaction with local communities are among the main barriers to effective management.
In order to encourage effective management and more regular assessments, IUCN is working to develop a 'Green List' of well-managed marine and terrestrial protected areas.
In terms of adopting more inclusive approaches to managing protected areas, the UNEP report highlights several positive trends. From 1990 to 2000, the total protected area managed by non-governmental bodies, or under co-management, increased from about 4 per cent to 23 per cent.
In the Pacific Islands, the number of locally managed marine areas has risen from 4 to 419 between 2000 and 2009.
UNEP-WCMC and partners have recently started working on a global registry of forests, wetlands, landscapes, village lakes, rivers and other habitats that are managed by local and/or indigenous communities (www.iccaregistry.org). The aim is to highlight case studies and successful techniques that can improve the equitable management of protected areas worldwide.
FinancingProtected areas play a vital economic role through the valuable ecosystem services they provide, such as supplying clean water to local communities and promoting eco-tourism, among others. Previous UNEP studies have shown that the overall economic benefits of protected areas greatly exceed the cost of managing them.
However, the global funding shortfall for protected areas currently runs into billions of US dollars. In Africa, for example, the effective management of 10 per cent of all ecoregions would cost around US$630 million per year, approximately double the current protected areas spending for the continent. In Latin America and the Caribbean, the funding shortfall is as much as 64 per cent of the estimated annual cost for managing protected areas.
The UNEP report recommends that protected areas further develop alternative revenue streams, such as tourist fees, private sector funding, and payment for ecosystem services.
Changing current government spending practices on the environment also has significant potential for biodiversity conservation. A terrestrial protected areas system covering 17 per cent of global land area (the 2020 target), could be established and managed at a fraction of the current amount spent by governments on environmentally-harmful subsidies, according to a 2009 study.
Priority Actions
The UNEP report recommends the following key steps to ensure that the 2020 targets on protected areas can be met:

Early Childhood Education
Master of Arts
There are three initial certification programs in Early Childhood Education:
The course of study for the M.A. in Early Childhood Education (ECED-INIT) leads to initial certification in Early Childhood Education (birth-8 years). The course of study for the M.A. in Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE-INIT) leads to initial certification as a Teacher of Students with Disabilities, Early Childhood (birth-8 years).
Students with backgrounds in elementary education or with no previous coursework in education must complete at least 40 points in order to obtain the Master of Arts degree and the department's recommendation for initial certification.
The course of study in Dual Certification: Early Childhood Education/Early Childhood/Special Education (ECSE-DUAL) leads to initial certification as both an Early Childhood Education teacher and a Teacher of Students with Disabilities in Early Childhood (birth-8 years). Stu-dents must complete at least 48 points in order to obtain the Master of Arts degree and the department's recommendation for initial dual certification.
Students in these programs are prepared to teach in diverse and inclusive environments, including homes, schools, and other community settings, which serve children from birth to age 8 and their families. Child-centered and culturally sensitive practices are emphasized throughout the program, focusing on the need for multiple methods of instruction to accommodate a broad range of learners. Through a curriculum that integrates general and special early childhood education content, we aim to enable our initial certification students to become outstanding early childhood teachers, decision makers, and intellectual and ethical leaders. Honoring the importance of understanding children's development and learning in context, the Master of Arts program emphasizes collaboration with families and other professionals and considers policies that affect families' access to desirable services, especially in urban settings. Our students participate in several field experiences, which serve as the foundation from which theories about development, learning, and curriculum come to life and through which teachers begin to construct their professional practice.
Master of Education
Early Childhood Policy
The Master of Education (Ed.M.) with an Early Childhood Policy concentration is designed to give students a firm grounding in early childhood pedagogy, programs, and practice as well as in policy analysis and policy making related to young children and their families. Students will combine theoretical knowledge with practice in the policy field; they will also become familiar with an array of policy issues impacting contemporary child and family life. While the focus of this work is on U.S. policy, there will be opportunity for international and comparative work as well.
Doctor of Education (Early Childhood Education)
At the doctoral level, the specialization in Early Childhood Education prepares candidates for college teaching, research, policy, and other leadership positions in early childhood education. The program is highly selective, aiming to identify and train individuals whose prior education and experience, whether or not it has been specifically in the field of early childhood, gives promise of the ability to develop modes of inquiry suitable to the field's complexities.

Combining rigorous methodological, conceptual, and practical interdis-ciplinary experiences, the program is designed for those interested in shaping the policy agenda for young children and their families. It is predicated on the principle that undergirding all policy work, candidates must have thorough understandings of both substantive content (early childhood practices, pedagogy, and theory) and research skills. While the focus of this program is on U.S. early childhood policy, there will be opportunity for international and comparative work.

Seagate Technology on Thursday announced selected preliminary financial results for its fourth fiscal quarter of 2012, which ended on June 29, 2012. Although the company shipped record amount of hard disk drives during the quarter, it failed to achieve desired fiscal performance due to dropping prices on HDDs as the industry is rapidly recovering as well as due to a product issue that affected Seagate's enterprise products.
"Seagate expects to report another record quarter of revenue in the June quarter, however we did not meet our expected revenue and margin plan," said Steve Luczo, Seagate chairman and chief executive officer.
Seagate expects to report record unit shipments for the June quarter of approximately 66 million, reflecting approximately 45 exabytes of storage capacity and maintaining approximately 42% market share. The company also projects to report record revenue of approximately $4.5 billion and non-GAAP gross margin of 33.6%. These preliminary results compare to Seagate's previous expectations for revenue of at least $5 billion and non-GAAP gross margin of at least 34.5%.
"The June quarter's shortfall was due primarily to two factors. First, we did not achieve our planned market share growth as we reduced shipments in response to the industry's faster than expected recovery from their supply chain disruption. Second, we experienced an isolated supplier quality issue that affected one of our enterprise product lines. This product issue impacted enterprise product unit shipments by approximately 1.5 million units and drove our non-GAAP gross margin below our targeted plan. While this disruption to our business was disappointing, we acted quickly and conservatively by suspending shipments of the affected products. We have resolved the issue and have resumed fulfilling our supply commitments to customers," explained Mr. Luczo.
Seagate will report full fiscal fourth quarter 2012 financial results on Monday, July 30, 2012 after the close of the market.
"Based on the macro-economic concerns indicated by a broad base of customers, we are approaching the September quarter conservatively and aligning our business for a relatively flat addressable market and modest improvements in our product mix. We are adjusting our production and inventory planning accordingly, and we expect average selling prices and margins to remain relatively stable in the September quarter. We also continue to expect to exit the calendar year with non-GAAP gross margins exceeding 30%," stressed the head of Seagate.

- Characteristics
- Rating
- Breeder
Starting life in California, DNA Genetics' founders enjoyed the very best selections of local strains when they started growing in the late 80's.
In 2002 DNA Genetics decided to leave the West Coast of America and head to a more cannabis friendly environment. They settled in Amsterdam but were immediately underwhelmed with the quality of the cannabis. They decided to sell popular strains from their native California while creating brand new strains in Amsterdam such as Nevils Haze and Columbian Gold.
You can buy DNA Genetics seeds from Seedsman now. The 2x Cannabis Cup winners' (L.A.Confidential and Martian Mean Green) original strains will not disappoint.

DescriptionThe Sage Valley Outfitters CWMU is south of Snowville in northwest Utah. The elevation ranges from about 6200 feet on the eastside to 4600 feet on the westside, difference of 1500 feet. All steam channels are intermitten and much of the water is collected in Sage Valley.
Over 45% of the Sage Valley Outfitters CWMU is Agriculture (114) land. This Agriculture land is on the westside extending to the middle. Great Basins Pinyon Juniper Woodland (37) is the next dominant ecological system at 21%. It is more on the eastside of the CWMU. Mixed with this Woodland is Inter-Mountain Basins Big Sagebrush Shrubland (18%). Running close to the Agriculture throughout the unit is Invasive Annual Grassland (121) at 8%.
One of the Sage Valley Outfitters Cooperative Wildlife Mangement Unit (CWMU) nearest weather stations, SNOWVILLE (427931), is 4.7 km south of the north edge of the CWMU. SNOWVILLE has ninety-eight (98) years of records, 1893 - 1991. During the FALL (September, October and November) the average precipitation is 2.86 inches, but it can be as high as 6.35 inches or as low as 0.85 inch. During the 91-day FALL period, 13 days will experience greater than or equal to 0.01 inch of precipitation, 8 days of greater than or equal to 0.10 inch, or 2 days of the greater than or equal to 0.50 inch of precipitation. Snowfall during the FALL averages 3.8 inches but can be as high as 25.0 inches. FALL temperature at SNOWVILLE averages 46.4�F. but can be as high as 100�F. or as low as -22�F.
