While in England as court painter to Charles I, Van Dyck executed refined portraits for the local aristocracy. Isabella, pictured here, was the daughter of diplomat Thomas Edmonds and wife of Henry, the 4th Lord de la Warr, also a diplomat and treasurer to Charles I. Van Dyck likely modeled her portrait on that of his slightly earlier Anne Killigrew, Mrs. Kirke (Huntington Art Gallery, San Marino, CA). In both paintings the sumptuously dressed women gesture to a rosebush—a possible allusion to love.
About 1638, Isabella, Lady De La Warr (sitter; b. 1607 - d. 1677?), Buckhurst Park, Sussex, England; by descent within the De La Warr family, Buckhurst Park [see note 1]; sold by the De La Warr family to an unknown private collection [see note 2]; February 10-11, 1919, anonymous sale ("by order of an Executor"), American Art Association, New York, lot 81, sold for $1300 to M. Knoedler and Co., New York; December, 1919, sold by Knoedler to Colnaghi, London; to Otto C. H. Gutekunst, London [see note 3]; 1930, sold by Gutekunst to the MFA for $121,440.

Jazz forward Marvin Williams has been bothered by a sore knee this season, but coach Tyrone Corbin says he has benefited from a four-day break between games and will start Saturday against Cleveland.
Williams has missed seven of Utah's first 40 games, including a three-game road trip last week to Charlotte, Atlanta and Detroit.
Williams practiced Thursday, however, and was scheduled to participate again Friday morning.
"I thought the rest was good for him," Corbin said. "We'll monitor how he's going so he doesn't get the soreness in his leg again. But he's looked good."
Williams averages 8.8 points and 3.5 rebounds. He shoots 34.1 percent from the field.
Williams played 33 minutes in Monday night's 104-97 win over Miami, finishing with five points on 2-for-8 shooting.
"He does a great job defensively for us," Corbin said. "He's been a great player for us. He can make shots timely 3-point shots. But he does a good job all the time on defense.
"He plays his man and his rotations are good. He's a good team defender for us. It's not all about scoring points. It's about doing the right things to help us win."

Under Island Records, Jermaine Dupri has selected some artists to be signed, including the artist in his former So So Def Records.
As the newly appointed president of Island Record, Jermaine Dupri's first task is to sign new deals with urban artists. Completing the task immediately, he has some promising names under the records' wings.
Among his choice is R&B group Jagged Edge which he had worked with nearly 10 years ago under So So Def label. Under the new recording house, the group's new album is predicted to be out in the end of this year. It will contain some imprints from the previous label and will also be the follow up of the 2006 self-titled album.
Besides working with reputable artists, Dupri also seeks the opportunity to work with new bloods. It is also reported that he has signed a new Californian rapper named Hot Dolla whose debut album is in progress.
Before Island Records, Dupri was the former president of urban music at Virgin. He resigned from the position in October 2006. His greatest success as a label president is the discovery of young rappers such as Bow Wow and Kris Kross.

Bladder sling surgery helps women treat urinary incontinence. A polypropylene sling is placed around the urethra to help put it into a more natural position. While this surgery has helped many patients recover from bladder related-issues, there is also a risk that debilitating conditions occur if the sling turns out to be faulty. Man patients find that they need to have additional surgical procedures to remove the device after it has been installed. These risks should be carefully discussed with your doctor before you undergo bladder sling surgery.
Bladder slings are installed to prevent sagging of the bladder neck or urethra that is causing difficult urinating. Those with a history of failed surgeries or serious problems with their muscular outlet of the bladder can see improvement when using a bladder sling. Those that have additional complications such as obesity may not be able to undergo other surgical procedures that could help to correct stress incontinence, making a bladder sling their ideal choice for addressing their symptoms.
What to Expect after Bladder Sling Surgery
After undergoing bladder sling surgery you will need to take time to recover and heal. Your body will have undergone a seep incision to insert the sling, which can be painful. You will also need to wear a catheter shortly after your surgery to allow your urine to drain until the urethra has had time to adjust to the new sling.
In most cases, patients will be able to go home in as little as 2-3 days after their surgery. There will be a 2-4 week recovery period once you arrive home. During this time, strenuous activity will need to be avoided. You may also experience pain during this time, though the amount of pain you experience will vary. This may include cramping in the abdomen. Your doctor should provide medication to help relieve this discomfort.
Constipation is also a common complaint after experiencing bladder sling surgery. Patients should make a point of increasing their intake of fluids and fibrous foods. Taking a fiber supplement may be necessary to help relieve discomfort. You may also need to schedule a time to relax and take a bowel movement each day to avoid constipation symptoms.
Risks of Bladder Sling Surgery
Bladder slings made from mesh carry a higher risk of side effects. These can be painful to insert, causing serious discomfort. Patients may also have trouble passing urine or urinating properly. In extreme cases, a malfunctioning bladder sling can cause internal bleeding or damaging to surrounding organs. If this pain becomes overwhelming, patients may need to undergo several surgeries afterward to correct this problem.
In very severe cases, a synthetic bladder sling can cause erosion of nearby organs in the pelvic area. A sling can also puncture nearby organs, causing serious internal damage. The body may also reject the materials used to make the sling, causing inflammation in the organs that come into contact with it. This can cause sexual intercourse to become difficult due to the increased swelling. In either of these cases, surgery will be necessary to reverse the damage the bladder sling has caused.
Revision Bladder Sling Surgery
The type of complication the patient is experiencing will determine the type of surgery that is necessary to correct the damage. Common complications that result from faulty mesh include erosion or obstruction of the fistula or urethra, damage to the bladder or bowel or injury to the blood vessels and nerves surrounding the mesh sling. Careful examination will help determine the extent of the damage so necessary surgical procedures can be planned to erase the damage.
If complications occur after a bladder sling has been inserted, reversion surgery may be necessary to remove the device. If the mesh has become damaged or begin to insert itself in another organ it may take several surgeries before all of the mesh can be successfully removed. Your doctor will continue to perform several examinations after your surgery to determine if future treatment is necessary.

You must take the time to not be so hard on yourself. That you want to do so much at once is not a good thing for your body. So relax and go easy. There should be more practice on the flow of life, rather than the working at it.
So if you let life bring to you what you need and have more faith that things will come to you, then you will see and believe that there is much more going on than just what you think you make happen.
In effect, you do make these things happen, it is just not with your conscious will and your hands on work, it is with your inner mind and the connection you have with source and it's grandeur.
That is the best way to flow and make things in your life go the way you wish. It is a clear path for you that is free from obstacles, that does not have stops or gaps. You can just move freely, from one end to another.

Munich, Germany (SPX) Jun 06, 2013
Laser researchers in Munich are challenging a basic assumption of engineering: "You can't have it all." They have shown that for certain kinds of laser applications in biomedical imaging, material processing, and communications, a new approach could deliver the desired capabilities with no problematic tradeoffs: in compact, inexpensive, efficient and long-lived devices that produce ultrashort, high-energy light pulses.
This research is a close collaboration between members of the Electrical Engineering and Information Technology Department at the Technische Universitaet Muenchen (TUM) and the Physics Department of LMU Munich.
Their latest paper, published in Nature Communications, describes experiments showing that cheap, robust semiconductor lasers can produce high-energy light pulses as short as 60 picoseconds (trillionths of a second) without the drawbacks of previous approaches in terms of power consumption and device size. At the same time it presents theoretical results predicting that this technique will break the next barrier for such lasers: subpicosecond pulses.
"Our models and simulations actually let us identify changes in the experimental setup that could yield a further thousand-fold improvement in performance," says Dr. Christian Jirauschek of TUM, "potentially producing pulses shorter than 30 femtoseconds."
Reshaping continuous wave output to short intense pulses
The Munich researchers' approach employs a relatively new kind of laser in a novel configuration. Dr. Robert Huber, leader of the LMU group, is co-inventor of this device, the Fourier domain mode-locked (FDML) laser. Rather than emitting light centered on one highly specific "color," the FDML laser rapidly and repeatedly sweeps through a range of wavelengths. The idea behind the experiment now is to reshape the continuous wave output from the FDML laser to short intense pulses.
"The advantage of this experimental configuration," Huber explains, "comes from storing the entire energy of each FDML laser sweep directly as a light field - spread out like colors of an infrared rainbow - in a kilometer-long optical fiber inside the laser resonator."
This is more efficient than storing the energy in the semiconductor structure of the laser source. The different wavelength components travel at different speeds and enter a second optical fiber, outside the laser, at different times.
This second fiber is laid out so that the different speeds exactly compensate for the different entry times: All colors exit the second fiber at the same time, forming a short laser pulse. This is the key to preserving high output energy even while shortening the pulse time - without increasing power consumption or requiring the use of a larger device.
Picosecond pulses from wavelength-swept continuous-wave Fourier domain mode-locked lasers. Christoph M. Eigenwillig, Wolfgang Wieser, Sebastian Todor, Benjamin R. Biedermann, Thomas Klein, Christian Jirauschek, and Robert Huber. Nature Communications 4, Article number 1848, 14 May 2013. DOI: 10.1038/ncomms2870

STAFF at a community centre in Penketh would be forgiven for thinking they have been seeing double recently.
After an appeal in the Warrington Guardian, a new multiples playgroup have been calling Olive Tree Community Centre, Chapel Road their home on Friday mornings.
Open to twins and triplets, 20 mums with more than 40 children have regularly been attending the 'Mad about Multiples' group from 9.30 to 11.15am.
Mum Helen Boyes, who has one-year-old triplets Freya, Ava and Liam as well six-year-old Daniel and five-year-old Thomas helped set up the group after finding it was helpful to have conversations with other mums who 'know what you are going through'.
She added: "The community centre have been absolutely fantastic with helping us and all multiples are welcome up to the age of four."
Entry is £2 a family including tea and toast.

When we first saw the headline "Plunging louts at stadiums are more than a pain in the neck" in the NY Daily News, we assumed it was another story about Shea's plumbing.
Instead, it is an update on the plights two spine-addled fans, injured at Shea and Yankee Stadium this year.
58–year-old Met fan Ellen Massey was at opening day at Shea. Just before the 7th inning, a drunk fan fell on her, breaking her back. She went to the hospital. The drunk waddled away.
Massey told the News: "You're always ready to put your hands up so you don't get hit by a foul ball, But an unguided missile, well, that's something else."
"Massey still wears a neck brace on occasion and struggles with her balance, but has returned to working three days a week.
Despite her pain, she said she may one day return to Shea.
"If they give me a plexiglass booth, I'll gladly go back," Massey joked.
Meanwhile, Massey is suing the Mets: her lawyer Stephen Kaufman insists excessive alcohol fueled the mystery fan who splashed onto her back.
"With all this drinking, you have an inherently dangerous situation," Kaufman said. "Fans shouldn't feel like they have to wear a helmet or armor to a game."
In addition to the Mets, the suit targets Shea Stadium concessionaire Aramark and the Service Employees International Union - the union that employs security guards at the ballpark.
Spokesmen for the Mets and Aramark declined to comment on the lawsuit. But in court papers, an attorney for the team denied Massey's allegations, while trying to shift blame to Aramark and the SEIU.
"Where the lawsuits get traction is when the clubs don't follow their own alcohol policies or don't have the proper security," said James Mosher, an expert on alcohol liability law at the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation. "These fans are the invitees, so there is a responsibility for their safety at the stadiums."
Time to put limits on beer sales, perhaps? Why is it still acceptable to get stinking drunk at sporting events? This is the main cause for fights and other rowdy behavior.
To be honest, drunken goofiness has somewhat dissipated at Shea. It is rare to see someone stinkin' loaded and making a scene. The Alcohol police are everywhere and buying booze is a very expensive and time-consuming process.

The trade deadline is hours away and Loge13 is guardedly optimistic that Lastings Milledge will still be a Met at 4:01 PM EST.
If the Met front office had their way, Milledge would be moving today. But Beltran's worsening health has made Lastings more valuable each day.
It doesn't hurt that Lastings is also the team RBI leader since the All-Star break. Milledge has 3 home runs and 14 RBI's, with a .348 OBP since being called up.
The Mets may have made their big move yesterday, giving up surprisingly little for Luis Castillo.
The (former) Twins second baseman is a solid fielder and reliable #2 hitter. The Mets will now have 2 switch hitters at the top of their lineup. Castillo did not sound too excited about leaving the Twins when he learned of the trade:
"I'm not feeling too good, because I like the team. I think it can do a lot, and I had fun last year. It's a little hard, but I need to put it out of my mind and go over there and do my thing, do the best I can do."
Maybe Luis knows that second base at Shea is often where good careers go to die. Ask Roberto Alomar, Carlos Baerga, Kaz Matsui (who was never injured until he came to NY), etc.
The Mets are stronger up the middle today than they were yesterday. Pedro is 30 days (or less) away. And Lastings is still a Met. So far, so good.
Confession: we sometimes spend too much time in Loge13 griping about all the elements of Shea Stadium that we wish to see transplanted to Citi Field… Everything from ourselves and our partial-season ticket plans to Shea's stray cats living under the locker rooms.
So to provide some balance, we offer up one thing we hope dies with Shea Stadium: The Wave.
For some reason, The Wave has returned to Shea in 2007. It started as ripples earlier in the season but Wednesday night, some yokels really got it going. Sadly these 80's nostalgia nuts were sitting close to Loge13 and we were caught in the riptide. Here is a little video of a wave being birthed in front of us and crashing across the Loge section:
If you look closely at the beginning, you will see the drunken kid who was cheerleading the whole affair. And if you look closely near the end, you'll see there is an actual baseball game going on in the field, which is usually why people spend alot of money to go to baseball games.
The new Citi Field seats are reportedly situated so they face towards home plate. Perhaps these angles will dissuade the seafaring louts amongst us from starting waves in the Mets' new home.
I was at Sat nights game against the Nationals, and I saw on the diamond vision, a picture of some beach with the words "Do the Wave". They flashed it late in the game during one of the Mets' thwarted comebacks. So I don't think it's random fans. It looks like the party plannners who run the DV think its important to bring back this rally killer that they created some lame-o billboard for it.
First an update on Glavine's quest for 300: Ross Jones will attempt to trek to Milwaukee Tuesday night for Glavine's next start. He hopes to file all the sights, sounds and smells to Loge13. He will also be in Chicago for Glavine's subsequent scheduled start so we have two chances for some quasi-live coverage of Glavine's 300th win.
Now here is the latest view of Citi Field construction, from Loge13 in Shea Stadium:
Compare this update to the state of the field May 16th:
There was a lot of history to witness last night in Loge13 of Shea Stadium.
First, Glavine won career victory 299 as the Mets beat the Pirates 6-3.
Also, prodigal Loge13 son Ross Jones returned to the section. Ross and I picked out our Loge seats in the partial season plan back when we were in high school 22 years ago. In fact, I think it was his idea to begin with; he had the foresight that someday, the Mets would be in the post-season and a partial plan would guarantee us tix. Ross hasn't lived in New York for years so it's great when he returns.
However, it should be noted that there is NO LOGE 13 without my parents, who took us to Shea that cold November day and put the seats in their name since we were too young to sign any contract. Plus when we went off to college, they kept up the plan and are now the biggest Met fans in Queens. Along the way, they have taken every grandchild of theirs to Loge13, transcending across generations a tradition of shared baseball memories. Which Citi Field's draconian ticket plans now threaten. But I digress...
Ron Hunt wasn't there to complete the reunion. But the folks who took his tickets showed respect by not sitting in "the dead man's seat." (That's Dave's seat, Ron's buddy and ticket partner who passed many years ago. More on him some other time).
As for the game, Glavine did a little more with 6 runs this time. In his last start, he couldn't hold a 6 run lead and was chased in the third. Wednesday, he started shaky, walking three in the first before Xavier Nady hit into a double play. After that, Glavine settled in. He wasn't fooling too many hitters but they couldn't seem to figure out their timing on Glavine's breaking pitches and made lots of awkward swings. From Loge13, it seems like Glavine has lost some velocity just in the past few months. He was barely breaking 75 mph on the Shea Stadium speed gun.
The Mets are looking more patient at the plate during this recent surge. LoDuca had four RBI's and wasn't first-pitch hacking as he had been. Meanwhile, the Pirates' ace Tom Gorzelanny was fooling no one and left the game during the third inning, apparently with a sore shoulder.
Gotta say something about Milledge. He has been fun to watch since his call up. He made a great running catch in deep center field, as a last-minute fill-in for Beltran. He also hustled out a double in his first at-bat and got thrown out trying to stretch out a second one his next time up (he would have made it too but Nady made an exceptional bare-handed play to nail him).
The Pirates hit him Tuesday night (for alleged grandstanding after Maine's home run) and again Wednesday. Meanwhile, Randolph and the Mets administration continue to slam Lastings.
There seems to be a double standard. How can Jose Reyes dance in the dugout, taunt pitchers and perform elaborate 5–minute handshake routines and not get accused of showboating (just not running out ground balls)? Meanwhile, Milledge shows some excitement and gets called out.
I agree if he showboats after a home run, make an issue of it. But lets not label the guy throughout the organization as a cocky rookie. The Mets – team and administration – did that to Scott Kazmir. Some veterans thought he was brash and played his music too loud. Now those vets are gone (except maybe the one who just won his 299th game) and Kazmir's gone too. No one talks about how cocky he was, just how stupid we were for letting him go. Lets not drive out Milledge the same way.
Leave L Millz be! He has to make it as a ballplayer because he'll never make it as a musician.
It was good to be back last night. With the exception of the people who started the wave, it was nice to see so many Mets fans again. On Tuesday I will drive up I-94 to Miller Park. I hope to see Mr. Glavine win 300 in Milwaukee.

Once upon a time English Heritage used to publish an annual report.
Today, if it still publishes its annual report, it no longer sends me a copy, but instead sends me a propaganda document called Heritage Counts: The State of England's Historic Environment. The 2005 edition focuses on the Countryside. Rural England, it says, is steeped in History. Almost half of all listed buildings and three quarters of scheduled monuments can be found there. However half of all historic parkland has disappeared in the last 100 years and approximately 8% of nearly all listed farm buildings are in a severe state of disrepair. Looking on the bright side however, the countryside is more 'accessible' than ever before (note that buzz word 'accessible') and funding from Defra and the HLF has done much to bring new life to the rural areas. (Hurrah, hurrah for Defra and the HLF – Defra is the old Ministry of Agriculture in disguise). However an estimated £163 million is needed to repair rural churches while at 70 private-owned historic houses, £66 million of grant aid is currently outstanding. Only by working in partnership, says Sir Neil Cossons, can we hope to solve these problems. (No, Sir Neil: not partnership. It is up to the government to pay its outstanding debts).
My overall impression of Heritage Countsis that it is curiously disconnected from reality. In reality, farming is a nationalised industry, where nothing moves without permission from the Government and the EU. If half of all historic parkland has disappeared in the last 100 years, this has been due to government policy, to two world wars and the ploughing-up grants given by successive governments. Today in practice our countryside is dominated not by the Government but by the European Union and the Common Agricultural Policy; and yet nowhere is the EU mentioned. One just wonders what planet English Heritage is living on? How can one discuss the English countryside without mentioning the EU?
Instead they concentrate on what they call 'Characterising the Rural Historic Environment'. As a result of their researches, they can now reveal that on Dartmoor, there are between 510 and 1500 scheduled monuments per hectare; In London there are more than 3,000 listed buildings per hectare; more than 70 listed places of worship per hectare; and 11 to 27 parks and gardens per hectare: they must be counting in everyone's back gardens to obtain this figure. Are all their statistics similarly incredible?
Heritage Counts pretends to be some sort of unbiased report on heritage in the countryside, but in fact it is nothing of the sort. A real report would ask a whole range of rather different questions: what has been the effect of estate duties and their predecessors on life in the countryside? What have been the effects of Government policies over the last 100 years? Currently there is of course a major change-over, with emphasis now given not to agriculture but to landscape conservation, access and recreation. Is this working? What are the differences between EU policies and British government policies? Should either be changed? And what about private owners? They devote all of two thirds of a page to private owners, who, they admit, give by far the largest contribution: but what do they feel about government policies?
In summary, this document should be treated with a very large pinch of salt. It is not the sort of document that can be produced by any government department (which is after all what English Heritage essentially is), because government bodies cannot criticise the government, and the only useful sort of document is one that can assess and if necessary criticise government and EU policies. Instead there is the strong smell of advertising hanging over the document. Give us more money, more powers, more patronage, more partnership (which being interpreted means: gives us a bigger stick to beat private landowners with). It is really rather a pathetic document. I wish EH would send me a proper annual report instead.

Re: Admin password recovery failswarcraft Mar 31, 2009 2:46 PM (in response to warcraft)
Is this idiotic ?
1. If restart the machine, all the user password not working
2. if backup mysql database, move to another standby openfire server, all the user password not working.
3. If I changed the password for any user, including admin,
every time the encrypted password always different, even though the password still the same.
mysql database: select * from openfire.ofUser
4. password though spark to server and admin page to server are different ?
well, seems different
after reset password by re-install openfire, spark can login, but not the admin page
well, very frustrating.

Resources for Off-Campus Groups
The Secular Student Alliance believes a big tent makes a better movement. Affiliate with the national organizations that make sense for your local group. Use as many resources as you can get our hands on to make your group awesome. Many of these services are available to campus groups as well. Don't be shy about encouraging your former campus group to take advantage of these, too.
In addition to the resources and services provided by the national organizations listed below, there are some great pools of collective grassroots wisdom. Got questions? Several Facebook groups of grassroots leaders exist. The biggest and most active of which is Freethought Group Organizers. Atheist Group Leaders and American Humanist Association Chapters & Affiliates are also worth checking out. The Humanist Chaplaincy at Harvard also runs the Humanist Community Project blog, which is a collaborative effort to provide advice and resources to build, grow and improve freethinking communities.
Don't be afraid to ask other leaders for help! Follow other groups on Twitter, Facebook, or Meetup. Ask how they got that amazing website, got 500 people to their summer picnic or started a family program.
National Organizations:
American Atheists has over 100 affiliates. Their affiliate program offers local groups a listing on their website, consultation on local atheist civil rights issues, group discounts on national membership, merchandise, conferences, and more! Check out their affiliate page for more details.
Atheist Alliance of America is in the process of changing their affiliate program. Please see their website for information on affiliation.
The American Humanist Association has both an affiliate and a chapter program. The chapter program is for groups interested in a high level of humanist identification and involvement. Benefits of the chapter program include eligibility for tax exemption under the AHA's group exemption, project and regional conference grants, access to the AHA's speakers bureau and hands on grassroots help.
The Coalition of Reason serves as a one-stop hub for information about off campus groups by state. There are CoR's in just about every state, and even parts of Canada! Go here to see what might be near you.
Center for Inquiry branches range from volunteer groups meeting at member homes and libraries to professionally staffed groups meeting at CFI offices and lecture halls. Contact CFI for for more information on local group affiliations.
Foundation Beyond Belief is charitable foundation created to focus, encourage and demonstrate humanist generosity and compassion. In addition to the Humanist Giving program which emphasizes individual donations, FBB also runs the Beyond Belief Network. BBN consists of Volunteers Beyond Belief, Partners, and FBB's Light The Night team. VBB teams actively serve their communities with volunteering and fundraising for local non-profits. Partners teams help raise money for FBB beneficiaries and FBB to help fund and expand its initiatives. FBB also helps coordinate the efforts of atheists and secular humanists for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Light The Night walk and fundraisers. LTN teams join through the LTN system and do not have to join BBN, but they are encouraged to do so, and LTN events will be counted as VBB or Partners events.
New teams can join the Beyond Belief Network in order to receive updates from FBB, join the BBN Facebook page to access tips and event guides, and start serving their local communities. As groups submit reports about their events, they gain access to three levels of additional benefits, including assistance with event ideas, planning, and promotion, FBB t-shirts with team logo, grants, and recognition in the humanist community.
The Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers (MAAF) provides hands on support to a network of local Military Atheist and Secular Humanist (M.A.S.H.) groups.
If you run an off-campus group and want to know how best to cooperate and communicate with your local student groups, check out our resource on Reaching Out to Secular Student Groups in Your Community.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Va. — Saints quarterback Drew Brees was in pads for the start of the Saints' final training camp practice at The Greenbrier resort in West Virginia on Wednesday; but he was not participating in a walkthrough and was mostly doing conditioning work, though he was throwing passes to receivers during an individual drill period.
Brees sustained an oblique injury Aug. 1. He wasn't in full pads again until Tuesday, when he mostly did conditioning work and did not take part in drills. His throws Wednesday were more than he did Tuesday.
Not present at the beginning of the Saints' final training camp practice at The Greenbrier resort in West Virginia on Wednesday were CB Patrick Robinson, CB Rod Sweeting, FB Erik Lorig, S Ty Zimmerman, LB David Hawthorne, RG Jahri Evans, LB Victor Butler and WR Kenny Stills.
Reasons have not been disclosed for most of those not present Wednesday. Stills tweaked a quad on July 25, the first practice at The Greenbrier; and Lorig hurt a leg at the intrasquad scrimmage Aug. 2.
In pads but not participating at the beginning of practice Wednesday were T Ty Nsekhe and TE Je'Ron Hamm, both reserves. Hamm suffered a stinger at the intrasquad scrimmage.
Lastly, veteran CB Champ Bailey was again in full pads Wednesday. Bailey, too, was in full gear Tuesday for the first time after missing several practices, the scrimmage at the preseason opener at St. Louis last week.

Sure, there have been some great TV dads over the years. Bill Cosby. Michael Gross. Doggie Daddy. But fans of Alias know the best TV dad of all time is Victor Garber, whose Jack Bristow trained daughter Sydney from birth to be a superspy, brainwashed her, lost touch with her for a decade, murdered her mother... okay, on paper he sounds like a terrible dad. But trust us, he was awesome. He once interrogated someone by murdering him, shocking him back to life, then asking him questions. Best. Dad. Ever.
Now Garber is bringing some of that awesomeness to Sleepy Hollow, where he will play the steely, gruff, yet loving-underneath-it-all dad to Ichabod Crane. Garber will be reunited with former boss Ken Olin, who produced both Alias and Sleepy Hollow, and continues a guest-casting hot streak that started with Fringe's John Noble, who joined the show earlier this season.

The tartan touched at the harbour of Pola, called Veruda, and we landed.
It was through Pola that I learned all the news of Tanugamanono.
Pola came up rather late one morning, and told me, hilariously, of the fun they had had looting Tupuola's house.
We never would have known of the famine in Tanugamanono if it had not been for Pola.
After some minor successes Pisani was ordered by the Senate to go into winter quarters at Pola.
One morning I gave Pola two large ship's biscuits from the pantry.
Several other early churches in and around Pola were destroyed while constructing the fortifications.
It was all true, as Pola had said, only they had been too proud to mention it.
The arch of the Sergii at Pola in Istria seems also to have been erected for a like purpose.
Pola always spoke of Vailima as "our place," and Mr. Stevenson as "my chief."

Winter has hit with a vengeance where I live! Along with bitter cold temps, the snow just keeps piling up!
A few days ago as I looked out my kitchen window at our hummingbird feeder, covered in snow, I imagined the hummingbirds were now somewhere warm, sipping tiny pina coladas. But then it occurred to me that not all birds are so lucky and many are having to get through the winter right where they are! Suddenly I felt very guilty that I was not contributing to the wintertime care and feeding of our fine-feathered friends!
In much of North America, winter can be a difficult time for birds. The days are short, and nights are often cold and long. The natural food supply has been consumed or is hidden by snow, and most insects are dead or dormant. Poor little things! I had to do something…ASAP!
I remembered seeing a simple upcycling idea for a bird feeder somewhere that involved a plastic soda bottle and two wooden spoons. I was too lazy to search for it so I kind of made it up as I went along. ;-)
If you would like to help your local feathered population get through the winter…here is a simple way to do it!
A Simple Upcycled Bird Feeder
Here's what you'll need:
- a 20 oz empty soda bottle
- 2 wooden spoons (I picked mine up at the thrift store for .25 cents ea)
- some string or twine
- an Xacto knife
- bird seed
Wash out and dry your empty soda bottle and remove the label. Mark with a pen where you want the wooden spoon perches to go on your bottle. I placed one set of holes approximately 1 inch higher than the other, on opposite sides of the bottle.
Then using the Xacto knife, cut "X's" in the plastic over the pen marks that are just barely big enough to push the wooden spoons ends through.
Insert your spoons, end first, until the "spoon" part butts up against the plastic. This will be the bird's feeding perch. I then cut a slightly bigger opening above where the perch was (using the Xacto knife) to allow a little bit of seed to come out.
Now fill your bottle with seed (a funnel comes in very handy for this!) and put the cap on.
Turn the bottle upside down and add a hanger by wrapping jute (or whatever you have handy) several times around the body of the bottle, tying in a knot on one side, then take another piece of jute and repeat, tying into a knot on the opposite side of the bottle. Now bring those ends up and tie together at the top.
Now go find a place to hang where the birdies will find it, use it,…and ideally…where you can also see it. I haven't seen any visitors to my feeder YET…but I remain hopeful. :-)
Hoping it soon looks like this! :-)
More Winter Bird Feeding Tips:
- Keep feeders full when winter is toughest. Bird feeders are most attractive to birds in winter, when natural food supplies are least available. Seeds that are merely a welcome supplement under normal winter conditions may suddenly become vital in the space of one fierce ice storm or blizzard.
- Feeders should be located out of the wind. The east or southeast side of a house or near a row of trees is ideal. It is best to have a perching spot such as a bush or tree for the birds to use to survey the feeding area and provide sufficient cover for safe refuge from predators and shelter from the wind and weather. The feeders should be positioned near cover but in the open to allow birds to watch for danger.
- Oil sunflower is a great overall seed to offer in the winter. It has a high calorie/ounce ratio due to its high fat and protein content and its relatively thin shell.
- Suet is a great food to offer many of the birds that will visit backyards in the winter. Suet is a high energy, pure fat substance which is invaluable in winter when insects are harder to find and birds need many more calories to keep their bodies warm.
- Peanuts are another great food to offer birds in the wintertime. Peanuts have high protein and fat levels and are often an ingredient in suet products.
- Clean off feeders, platforms and perches after each storm so seed is easily accessible.
- Leave fruit and berries on trees, hedges and bushes to provide a natural source of food throughout the winter.
- Add a heated birdbath to your backyard or place a safe heating element in a regular birdbath to provide birds with liquid water.
- Stamp or shovel snow around feeders to provide easier access to spilled seed for ground feeding birds.
- Leave nesting boxes and birdhouses up all year round to provide winter roosting sites.

Gary Sawyer will miss a further fortnight with a hamstring problem, with fellow defender Aaron Downes on the sidelines for at least a month with knee cartilage damage.
Goalkeeper Michael Poke is set to feature for the Pirates for the last time with his loan from Brighton due to expire.
McGhee is exploring the option of extending the 26-year-old's stay at the Memorial Stadium but has not closed the door on a swift return to action for former number one keeper Scott Bevan.
He told Gas Player: "If Pokey goes we can look for someone else or Scott can step up. He's got to show me that he's the man, and if he wants the opportunity he can have it."
Defender Adam Virgo (knee) and midfielder Wayne Brown (ankle) remain long-term absentees.

IRON RICH RESIDUE. COMMUNICATION IN SOIL SCIENCE PLANT ANALYSIS. 2002. Interpretive Summary: The potential for reduction in crop yield and P deficiency when iron rich byproducts are used to inactivate P in high P soils from the poultry producing area of Maryland Eastern shore is a concern to the farmers in the area. A pot study was conducted to determine: 1) the effect of three high P soils amended with a iron rich residue (IRR) on wheat yield and P uptake; and 2) the change in soil characteristics as a result of IRR application. Both biomass yield and tissue P concentration were significantly reduced with increased rate of IRR. Tissue P concentration; however, were in the range considered sufficient for wheat for all the treatments. Water soluble and Mehlich 3 extractable P concentration in the soil decreased with increased application of IRR for each soil. Both water soluble and Mehlich 3 extractable P were positively correlated with tissue P concentration. DTPA extractable Mn increased with addition of IRR, however, DTPA Fe concentration decreased with the addition of IRR. Soil pH and electrical conductivity increased with the increase rate of IRR for the three soils. Applied at rates needed to reduce potential runoff of soil phosphate to surface waters IRR was effective and yield was reduced only at higher application rates.
Technical Abstract: Reducing the environmental risk of soluble Phosphorus (P) in long-term poultry manured fields involves increased use of chemical soil amendments such as iron. Iron salts have been proven effective in removing soluble P from waste water; it is also been used to inactivate P in poultry litter and litter amended soils. The potential for yield reduction for crops grown non these amended soils is a concern to farmers. A growth chamber experimen was conducted using three high P soils (Matapeake, Evesboro, and Woodstown) amended with Fe-rich residue (IRR) in order to: 1) determine the effects (IRR) on crop yield and on plant P, Mn and Fe levels; and 2) Examine pH, electrical conductivity (EC), P, Mn and Fe concentrations in soils after three cropping cycles with wheat. IRR was mixed with the soils at rates of 0, 10, 25 and 50 g kg-1 and incubated for 7 weeks. Three crops of wheat (Triticum aestivum) were grown in succession. Yield and tissue P concentration were significantly reduced with the additions of IRR for all three soils; however, P levels were within the range considered sufficient for wheat for all treatments. Tissue Mn and Fe concentration increased with increased application of IRR, but were below the levels considered to be toxic to plants. Water soluble P and Mehlich 3 (M3-P) concentrations were lowered with increased IRR application rates for each soil and correlated positively with tissue P for the three soils. DTPA extractable Mn increased, but Fe concentration reduced in the three soils. Applied at rates needed to reduce potential runoff of soil phosphate to surface waters IRR was effective and yield was reduced only at higher application rates.

A senior Ford executive in the US has held out the prospect of the company committing to building cars in Australia after the current Falcon meets the end of its model life in 2016.
Ford global chief operating officer, Mark Field, appeared to go further than his Australian counterparts this week when he reportedly said the company had made no decision to shut its two Victorian manufacturing plants.
"We've made the investments in Broadmeadows [Melbourne] that take us to 2016," he told News Limited in Los Angeles. "We are in the process of looking at our plans and understanding what we can do going forward."
Ford's Australian spokeswoman declined to elaborate on Mr Field's remarks except to say the company's Australian plans had not changed.
"We're continuing to move ahead with the $103 million investment program we announced earlier this year and look forward to bringing that to market in 2014."
The company is spending the cash alongside $34 million in federal funds to upgrade the Falcon including light-weighting the vehicle to cut fuel consumption.
It said it would ask for further co-investment if it decided to continue local production.
Mr Field reportedly said the company would have to make a decision on Australia "in the next couple of years".

|Review by: Zénó Vernyik
Properly speaking, A New Mothers Prayers is a book of prayers not poems, just as its title suggests -- personal prayers that I cannot imagine anyone actively using as such, even when we get past the author's lyric voice.
While it seems evident that great emotions are the originators of the works in question, I would argue that, as T.S. Eliot said: it is not the greatness, the intensity, of the emotions, the components, but the intensity of the artistic process [ ] that counts. (Eliot 1992a, 311) Since Eliot, we know that it is not in his personal emotions [ ] that the poet is in any way remarkable or interesting, (op.cit, 312) quite the contrary: the work of art has to be composed of a proper combination of a set of objects, a situation, a chain of events which shall be the formula of that particular emotion; such that when the external facts [ ] are given, the emotion is immediately evoked. (Eliot 1992b, 313) That is, without coming up with effective objective correlatives, the work of art is unable to evoke the aimed effect, regardless of the effort, the intentions, and so on. These prayers, however, fail to meet these standards to become poems.
Age old, Romanticist, everyday clichés and commonplaces come up repeatedly. Ferrer gives us: angel [ ] from heaven, (4) purity personified, heart-melting hug, (10) my flesh and blood, (26) pink and porcelain velvet skin, (33) this creature / created from our love, (60) or the comparison of life to a puzzle (34-5). What is even worse, the poems are highly repetitive as to their use of expressions and imagery, primarily in connection with the use of innocent and angel, even though, it is particularly easy to find other similar examples. But some lines do not stop at bordering on the line that separates art from kitsch, such as the following:
It is not easy to say anything positive about this volume, even if I leave behind what I, along with Eliot, consider the highly debatable matter of artistic value. Unfortunately, whereas Ferrar's lyric voice considers the child as a spirit so naïve, (38) it is rather said voice that is informed by a naïve understanding and Romanticist idealization of childhood. Ferrar's narrator considers children as pure, innocent, as emissary of peace, (4) whereas I would argue that, since Freud, the child's primarily self-seeking instincts that dominate, (Freud 1991, 378) and, like it or not, at first, the self loves the self (Mitchell 1990, 33). But egoism is not everything in this respect, as Freud rightly notes, one feature of the popular view of the sexual instinct is that it is absent in childhood and only awakens in the period of life described as puberty (Freud 1995, 259). Based on his findings, however, he noted more than eighty years ago that there seems no doubt that germs of sexual impulses are already present in the new-born child (261).
The volume's poetic voice remains ignorant that, even though that is beyond doubt that it is the mothers obsession with social graces that develops his [the childs] manners (Ferrer 37), said purity or rather conformity to the requirements of different ideological apparati, such as the church (!) is also partly established by the same practice: education, while the other part is also the result of learning and compromise(Althusser 2001, 294-304). Conformity and civilized behavior are the result of mental forces which are later to impede the course of the sexual instinct and, like dams restrict its flow disgust, feelings of shame and the claims of aesthetic and moral ideals. (Freud 1995, 261) Even though notions that children are pure in heart might be in harmony with Matthew 18:1-6, Mark 9:36-37, Luke 9:47-48, and several other passages from the Bible, in the light of modern and even turn-of-the-century psychological works (such as Freud) they are simply naïve. Similarly, asking the question how can a grown man be jealous / of a tiny baby? (Ferrer 2004a, 60) is simply funny, as at a time at which the first beginnings of sexual satisfaction are still linked with the taking of nourishment, the sexual instinct has a sexual object [ ] in the shape of his [the childs] mothers breast. (Freud 1995, 288) Even in general, a childs intercourse with anyone responsible for his care affords him an unending source of sexual excitation and satisfaction, (ibid) and without knowing, the mother, herself regards him [or her] with feelings that are derived from her own sexual life. (op.cit, 288-9)
And besides psychoanalysis, there are gender studies issues with this volume of poems. Take a look at the following lines:
I have only one question: where was the husband then and what did he do? Likewise:
Here they are: women trying to conform to the Beauty Myth, working almost 24 hours a day as an unpaid household slave and sexual object, a cooking- washing- ironing- childbearing machine combo on two legs. And all that the lyric voice has to say is:
I think, there is no reason to cite dozens of articles by feminist authors here, to see how unbelievably Victorian, or rather stubbornly and dogmatically Catholic the whole artistic universe of this book is.
Dancing with my Daughter, however, is quite enjoyable and definitely is an achievement in poetry. The most important thing is that Ms. Ferrer found her voice and her real topics. In its retrospective manner, these poems employ a much more clear, personal and clear-cut imagery. While one or two of them, such as The Dream Weaver still border on being kitschy, most of them are really valuable and beautiful.
The majority of them are philosophical, reflective or even self-reflexive, and they are really personal instead of general in their sources. The most beautiful ones are those dealing with the lyric voices mother, their relationship and memories. Heavy and unnatural similes have turned into vivid and colorful metaphors, while the introduction of colloquial, everyday topics and language made the whole effort, much more fluid, and less outdated.
Unfortunately, some problematic assumptions from A New Mothers Prayers are still behind the poems of this volume, for example, it still considers children as innocent and pure. However, the image of the woman as submissive object and household appliance, fortunately, disappeared, whether consciously, or by chance does not matter.
All in all, Dancing with my Daughter is an honest and beautiful volume of poems on motherhood, and probably an excellent choice for a present, but A New Mothers Prayers would be a naïve and poor effort even for a first book.

WASHINGTON - Sgt. Thomas Block was honored July 30 as the 2014 Army Times Soldier of the Year for his tenacity, resilience and setting the bar beyond what a Ranger and Soldier should be.
Less than 10 months ago, Block was severely wounded and lost his right eye from a suicide bomb detonation in Afghanistan that hurled him 35 feet through the air. Now his recovery and drive serve as an example to others.
For the last 14 years the Military Times newspapers have honored five "everyday heroes" - service members who have demonstrated pride, dedication and courage beyond what is expected in their military duties.
At this year's presentation and reception on Capitol Hill, former congressman Chet Edwards opened the event saying not only did the winners demonstrate pride, dedication and courage; they also showed concern for their fellow service members, their communities and the country.
"They display a consistent high standard of professional performance and commitment to their communities," he said. "Their actions make a daily difference in our lives and in the world around us, and they exemplify the very best of who we are as Americans."
Following several guest speakers, Army Vice Chief of Staff Gen. John C. Campbell addressed the crowd, saying it was an absolute honor and privilege to talk about a great Soldier.
"As we know there's strong and there's Army Strong and then there's Army Sgt. Block-Strong," Campbell said. "We instill seven core values in all of the fine young men and women who step forward to wear our uniform - loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity and personal courage. Sgt. Block has proven himself to be the living embodiment of all those core values."
He next relayed Block's Afghanistan survival story of Oct. 5. Less than 10 months ago, Block was on patrol with 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, looking for insurgents planning suicide bombing attacks in the southern part of the country.
After entering a compound, Block saw two people sitting in the courtyard - a man dressed in a T-shirt and sweatpants and the other which appeared to be a woman wearing a burka and wrapped suspiciously in a wool blanket.
Block ordered the man to approach him with his hands up. As he came forward, the Ranger grabbed the man while the woman jumped up and detonated a bomb strapped to her body. Block used the man as a shield, but was still thrown 35 feet into a minefield, severely wounded.
Doctors were able to rebuild Block's ocular bone, his nose, his cheekbone which is now fitted with a titanium plate, and they were able to preserve the vision in his left eye. He also suffered a broken ankle and lost his right eye.
"I don't know about you, but I feel really inspired by his can-do spirit," Campbell said. "While this 27-year-old Soldier is an inspiration throughout the Army and beyond, he mentors fellow wounded warriors, provides career guidance to other Soldiers, and he speaks at leadership courses. He's even counseled the Oakland Raiders about resilience, perseverance and recovery."
Despite all the accolades, Block said the attention "was humbling, very humbling." He has big plans - to continue healing, remain a Ranger, earn a bachelor's degree and marry his fiancée Janine Connors.
He had no idea he'd been nominated for the Army Times Soldier of the Year until a journalist from the paper came to interview him.
"I feel like now the good kind of pressure is on now for me to set a good example for everybody else," he said. "You always want to do the right thing, even when nobody is looking, but now people take notice of me, so if anything, I'm working harder." Even with the loss of his eye, he doesn't feel disadvantaged at all.
"Sure, well, I don't have a right eye, so my peripheral vision (gap) on my right side is completely big, really big, but I see like everyone else." He paused, then laughed. "I might run into a wall every now and then, but I mean, hey - you bounce back!"

Rider Takes on SMU in Round 2 of Hoops for Hope Classic
DALLAS, TEXAS-The Rider University men's basketball team plays Southern Methodist University Wednesday night as part of the Hoops for Hope Classic.
The Classic began, for Rider, in Columbia, SC with a 12-point loss to the Gamecocks of the powerful Southeast Conference (SEC), and culminates in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico with contests against Jacksonville Friday and Wisconsin-Milwaukee on Sunday.
SMU has dominated Conference USA for a decade, winning the last 10 Director's Cups, and will move to the BIG EAST in the fall. SMU has 17 varsity sports and an enrollment of 11,000 students.
Although football is the flagship sport, the SMU basketball program has turned out 21 NBA draft picks and has won 14 Conference Championships. The Mustangs have been to 10 NCAA Tournaments and have had three All-Americans. SMU plays in the 8,000 seat Moody Coliseum on campus.
SMU is coached for the first year by the legendary Larry Brown. The Hall of Fame coach has won both an NBA title (Detroit Pistons) and an NCAA Championship (Kansas). Brown compiled close to 1100 victories in the NBA and in his seven years on the college level he compiled a 180-61 record (before his 4-0 record this year), reaching the Final Four three times.
This year SMU defeated Loyola Marymount by 15, TCU by 3, Texas State by three and Division II Malone as part of the Classic, despite being one of the youngest teams in the country, with 11 players with just 11 years of experience.
The Mustangs have been led by 6'7" sophomore guard Jalen Jones, who is averaging 19 points and eight rebounds a game. Junior guard Nick Russell is adding 16.3 points and 4.8 rebounds per game.
SMU and Rider have never met.
Rider (2-2) continues to be led by junior guard Nurideen Lindsey, who has scored 26 points in a game twice in his four games as a Bronc, and is averaging 19 points per game. Three other Broncs, senior guard Jon Thompson, junior swingman Anthony Myles and junior forward Daniel Stewart, are all averaging in double figures.
After SMU the Broncs will spend Turkey Day traveling south of the border. They hope to be giving thanks, as the Hoops for Hope Classic continues.

Latest mosquito tests negative for West Nile, EEE
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — The latest mosquito samples tested in Rhode Island are negative for West Nile virus and eastern equine encephalitis.
The state's Department of Health announced Monday that there was no sign of the viruses in 89 mosquito samples taken from around the state.
Both viruses have been detected in previous mosquito tests. The state says one report of a human case of West Nile has been reported. A 33-year-old man was hospitalized and treated for West Nile virus in mid-September.
State health officials warn that the risk of infection from the mosquito-borne viruses will continue until the first hard frost. They encourage people to wear repellant when outside and to cover up during outdoor activities at dawn and dusk.

Finding the kind of quirky incident he usually mines from Baltimore, Barry Levinsons joyful Belfast-set comedy-drama is chock-full of whimsical vignettes that create the feel of early Bill Forsyth. In telling its neatly simple tale of mental hospital barbers - Catholic Colm (McEvoy, also the screenwriter) and Protestant George (OByrne) - who band together to cover the untapped toupee market, Levinson roots the skewed humour in reality with a deft touch.
The relationship between the central pair is warmly drawn, there are some nice supporting turns - Friel is particularly effervescent as Colms resourceful girlfriend - and most of the comedy comes off a treat. Its slight, but for the most part this is funny, winning and in its conclusion, quietly poignant.

The McCrossen Building has inspired cringes lately for many reasons.
The historic property — on the corner of Hewitt and Oakes avenues, across the street from Comcast Arena — burned down on Nov. 8, leaving one resident dead.
A city hearing examiner told the property's owner, Pete Sikov, to demolish the wreckage by March 15. That day came and went with Sikov failing to even submit the formal paperwork needed to bring out the wrecking balls.
Understandably, there has been public muttering about when — or even if — Sikov will tear the building down. Sikov hasn't helped matters.
After missing the deadline, he told The Herald that he had no date in mind for a possible demolition and no plans to redevelop the property, which, again, is at one of the city's best spots for foot traffic.
Thousands of people walk by it every year, heading to Comcast Arena.
In Sikov's opinion, progress at the site was "coming along pretty well," an almost comically optimistic spin.
None of this is to say tearing down a charred downtown building is simple.
The McCrossen went up in 1894, two years after Everett's founding.
Demolishing it could involve handling hazardous waste, like asbestos.
The structure also shares a load-bearing wall with the neighboring building, 1812 Hewitt Ave., complicating the job.
Sikov has to find a contractor capable of doing the demolition. He also had to file a complex insurance claim — investigators failed to find a cause for the fire but said it didn't appear suspicious.
At this point, insurance money has been earmarked to help pay for the demolition, which may cost somewhere in the low six figures.
Some might see the expense as the reason for Sikov's delay and suspect he will walk away from his derelict building.
But if he fails to act, the city will tear the building down on its own — sooner rather than later, hopefully. Then the city will hand Sikov a potentially bigger bill — bureaucracy has a way of driving up costs, after all.
If he refuses to pay, his tab will grow. Courts will get involved. His lawyers won't work for free.
Long story short, Sikov likely can get the building down for less money by doing it himself.
City officials are optimistic he will follow through. There's reason to agree. For instance, Sikov began filing paperwork with the city after missing the deadline. The delays may be coming to an end.
Let's hope that's the case, because for now, the building remains a sad reminder of a death, a black eye on Everett's public face, and a place where things have not been going well.

We are concerned about the vigorous opposition to the Helis Oil & Gas proposed fracking operation in St. Tammany Parish. As a result, we are writing in support of the efforts by Helis Oil & Gas to drill in St. Tammany Parish on private property.
We provide specialized services and equipment to oil and gas exploration and production companies like Helis Oil & Gas. Our tools, equipment and expertise assist companies like Helis effectively, efficiently and responsibly drill, work over, produce and then abandon wells.
We believe that we are part of the silent majority who support energy independence, private property rights and responsible development of our natural resources.
We have known Helis Oil & Gas since our founding in 1946 as a principled, ethical and responsible operator. Its management is of the highest caliber. The Helis program will create high-paying jobs, spinoffs and innovation. It will benefit local companies and help maintain and grow a healthy St. Tammany economy. Local companies across a wide range of industries such as sand, gravel, timber, engineers, accountants, mechanics, equipment makers, among others, will enjoy the enhanced revenues and higher payrolls.
The basic science and engineering behind the Helis well plan will not cause harm to the public's health and safety or the environment. Hydraulic fracturing is a 60-plus-year-old technology. One of its core principles is based on gravity. Gravity prevents hydraulic fracturing water from migrating toward the surface. Water will always stay at the same depth or deeper. As a result, St. Tammany's groundwater aquifer is safe and unaffected. The entire process is highly regulated and routinely inspected.
By working collaboratively with private landowners, the state of Louisiana, the oil and gas industry and responsible operators like Helis Oil & Gas, Parish President Pat Brister and the Parish Council can be at the forefront of promoting the safe extraction and production of oil and gas in St. Tammany Parish.
I am a resident of St. Tammany Parish.
