WASHINGTON – Bishops and other church leaders should rely on research and make better use of it, Bishop Gerald F. Kicanas of Tucson, Ariz., said March 24 at the Catholic University of America.
Decision-making based on "one's instincts, hunches and untested opinions" rather than on sound research "can lead to tragic results," he said.
Bishop Kicanas, who is vice president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, delivered the inaugural Dean Hoge Memorial Lecture, sponsored by CUA's Institute for Policy Research and Catholic Studies, formerly known as the Life Cycle Institute.
Hoge, who died in 2008, was one of the nation's leading sociologists of religion. He taught at Catholic University for more than 30 years and headed the Life Cycle Institute from 1999 to 2004.
Kicanas focused his talk on Hoge's extensive research on Catholic priests and its implications for bishops.
He said Hoge's 1999 review of nine years of research on recently ordained priests pointed to overwork and over-responsibility as key areas of stress: "Many recently ordained felt overwhelmed. … They felt under-supervised. They lacked abilities in the areas of 'administration, management, finances, staff relationships, running meetings and dealing with conflict.' Hence, they felt frustrated, unequipped to do what was expected of them."
Kicanas said that two years ago his vicar general, who was a corporate executive before entering the priesthood, started a program to train recently ordained priests of the Tucson Diocese in management and administration skills.
"I feared they might feel like they were going back to the seminary," he said, but instead "they embraced the program wholeheartedly" because it helped them deal with real issues they were facing in their parishes.
"Dioceses need to attend to the amount of work put upon priests and to find ways to assist them in acquiring the skills necessary to feel competent in what they are called to do in parish work," he said.
He said Hoge's research uncovering dissatisfaction among many recently ordained priests about their living situation should lead bishops to discuss that issue directly with their newly ordained, to surface concerns and work to resolve them.
He said Hoge's research on priests' dissatisfaction with diocesan structures led him to initiate quarterly meetings with the recently ordained priests of his diocese.
"At first it was like pulling teeth. There was little trust among them," he said, but after repeated efforts to seek their advice and draw them out, "the group began to converse at a deeper level. I sense now that they look forward to this time to review their lives with their peers."
Kicanas suggested further research on priests in a number of areas, among them, sexuality and celibacy, prayer and spirituality and the importance of affirmation, collaboration and a sense of belonging in priests' lives. And bishops would do well to make use of Hoge's findings on those issues by finding ways to help their priests live fuller, holier, happier lives, he said.

text: (Adds that Goldman's outlook was cut by S&P.)BOSTON ( TheStreet) -- Goldman Sachs ( GS) analysts have nine technology stocks on their short list for now, with six-month price targets that are as high as 61%. The Wall Street investment bank regularly updates its "conviction buy" list and the technology recommendations include some of the most commonly held technology stocks, including personal-computing bellwether Apple ( AAPL), and business-technology giants Oracle ( ORCL) and EMC ( EMC), as well as some smaller unknowns such as Synchronoss Technologies ( SNCR). Technology stocks have been battered this year, losing 4.4% of their value in a volatile ride, but in the quarter to date, they are up 2.3%. The gist of it is, if the economy gets rolling, so will technology stocks, but for now, Goldman Sachs is saying this is the best of the bunch. Goldman's main rival, Morgan Stanley ( MS), most recently has favored stocks with a defensive bent. The firm said earlier this month that its model portfolio of 48 stocks is overweight in utilities, health care and consumer staples, and is underweight in consumer discretionary and industrials, both of which have underperformed this year. Goldman Sachs itself, along with its competitors, had long-term credit grades cut today by Standard & Poor's, hurt by Europe's debt crisis and a tweaking of rating criteria. On the following pages are Goldman Sachs' nine stock picks in the technology sector:

Updates: Three Harassment Tickets by an SCPD Officer This Morning
Yesterday morning I recorded a number of interesting interviews with Occupy Santa Cruz (OSC) folks which I'll hope to play on Thursday's night Free Radio show 6-8 PM. I also spoke with Chris ("Commander X") Doyon who has been living down there for the past three weeks. I pass on his report. With Oakland and San Jose Occupations under serious police assault, I encourage folks to join an emergency phone tree to support, resist, and/or witness any attempt to crack down on the Occupation here. Go to http://occupysantacruz.org/contact/ to contact an on-line access point for OSC, or go down to the protest and sign up. Or go down and set up your own tent.
Yesterday I delivered some coffee to the protest around 8:30 AM as well as to individuals excluded because of violent disagreements. I recorded both sides of a dispute which I'll play Thursday night. The relevant thing was that the issue was resolved by OSC and dissidents without police or physical injury.
Even more moving to hear was the following reconciliation. Tank, a homeless Camp Alliance activist, was hit in the face by "Drunk Joe" (I may have the name wrong) with Joe then excluded from the camp after some heavy extended ruckus early Sunday morning. However later Sunday, Tank reported, Joe returned apologized, shook hands with him, in an act of apology and forgiveness. Disruptions happen, Chris notes, and people deal with them on an ad hoc basis.
For Chris, it's not the use of drink or drugs, but abusive behavior that's the issue. Chris strongly approves the posted "no drinking or drugs" rules (which I'm less happy with) because it encourages people who do so to do so discreetly or off site.
Chris gets passionate when reflecting on drinkers or tweekers. "Take your bottle elsewhere." As to the claim that the park has been the traditional "home" of lots of homeless folks (illegal but actual), he says, "no, the river bottom is where folks have lived, not in the benchlands." "Girl scouts and other groups can meet here; why can't we without interference?" When protesters want to enjoy a six pack after a hard day of picketing, cleaning, organizing, and recruiting, they go off site. Chris acknowledged that alcohol is an addiction and did note that some alcoholics are active workers in OSC. Or they keep a discreet low profile. "I don't judge people for their addictions, but simply hold them to a civil standard."
I tend to be more skeptical of Open Container laws, "No Drink and Drugs" rules if used as a strictly enforced club. I'm wary of mob scenes that can develop "to enforce rules", because, as Chris pointed out in the march to the SCPD on Saturday, "the cop within us" is eager to control and repress. Skidmark Bob Duran, a local musician, long-time activist and original community organizer of Santa Cruz Copwatch and the Serf City Banner put it well with his song "Kill the Cop Within You".
Disruptive incidents may distract, but they are minor compared to the broad sweep of what is happening. Often they become a false focus instead of the day-to-day institutional violence of folks losing their homes, vehicles, dignity, and friends in a system that has resources but no pity. This is the real violence that OSC has formed to fight.
Chris D. reported the camp is doing fine and growing (more than 50 people last night--I counted almost that many tents on Monday morning when I was down there).
On the negative side in the wake of the violent police actions against Occupy Oakland of several hours ago, Chris noted that a chunky SCPD cop, while on patrol taking photos of the camp, as apparently happens every morning, took time out to issue three citations--the first Chris has heard of. One was for heating coffee over an open fire (something that may have been happening every morning). Another was for riding a bike on the grass. A third was for "destroying vegetation".
It's been my perception that campers have been particularly concerned about respecting the environment--moving the tents regularly, setting up "do'nt walk on the grass areas", etc. Sounds like the officer involved may have succumbed to the temptation of using his badge, gun, and ticketbook or perhaps let off his leash by those above? No clear information. If anyone has the name of the cop or the victims, please post them. Moyne
Chris noted that Noah Shepardson was part of a nationwide phone conference with Occupy's throughout the nation and will be reporting on that later today at the 6 PM General Assembly.
Chris also had some critical comments about some leaders and politicians who want to commandeer things. He said what gave him faith is that the consensus process can screen that out. Forceful speakers like Ed Frey "can't dominate people with long fucking speeches".
I myself had a tiff with legal worker Steve Pleich a few days ago. I'm a member of the Legal Committee and saw Steve talking with attorney Brian Murtha about a proposed Injunction to protect the protest. Steve refused to share the proposed Injunction, insisting it was all "in confidence." Ed came over and agreed that we needed to have an open transparent process and that such documents needed to be shown. Still Pleich refused and announced "we're done!", walking away. Steve is an articulate and hard-working guy, but secrecy and elitist expertise is part of what we're fighting here. We don't need issues cooked up in closed rooms and then sprung like a baked cake and pushed through using "expert" credentials. It's also wise to be wary of those seeking conventional political power, since that often involves deals with the very authorities who legitimacy we were challenging.
Chris noted he'd seen little sign of city councilmembers lurking about. Noted Chris, "unlike those with calcified agendas, I have a lot of fuckin' faith in the kids" who are the backbone of the movement.
Chris noted there may be some spiffy new signs coming up. Two anonymous donors have volunteered lawn signs. Another is donating $150 pizza money per week for 12 pizzas. He also said there was a full treasury.
Prisoners coming out of jail from across the street sometimes stop by the camp in search of support. One asked for a got a blanket, Chris reports. and then noticed him leaving with it. Only two hours later he returned with the blanket folded and laundered and half a dozen bags of groceries as donation.
For the more conventional politicos, I got the following e-mail: "
The People's Democratic Club of Santa Cruz County's October Meeting will explore how to participate in and how to support OCCUPY SANTA CRUZ, the Occupy movement in general, and what can we learn from OCCUPY. Various folk familiar with OSC and OWS will share their experiences and perspective. The meeting is Thursday, October 27, at 7:00 PM, in the Galleria Bldg., 740 Front Street, #165, Santa Cruz, CA (the building next to the Riverfront Twin Cinemas, in the suite next to Dave's Computer Services). The meeting is open, free, and accessible. Contact: Brian Murtha, bmurt [at] cruzio.com
And in Cincinnatii, cops moved against Occupy Cincinnati, in spite of the protest filing for an Injunction: http://sentientcincinnati.com/2011/10/21/piatt-park-occupiers-arrested-tents-dismantled/ . http://communitypress.cincinnati.com/article/AB/20111017/NEWS0108/110180323/Occupy-Cincinnati-sues-city-over-citations .
Tip of the hat to Alex Darocy for alerting us to the twitter website to (sort of) track arrests: https://twitter.com/#!/OccupyArrests It's still a little unclear to me which cities are getting busted (as in an ongoing list). If anyone has any info, please post...
Chris Doyon reported to me that Councilmember Madrigal came by Occupy Santa Cruz on Tuesday morning and said he'd present an emergency resolution to protect Santa Cruz from the kind of violent suppression of civil liberties happening in Oakland and other cities. Apparently Madrigal didn't carry through on his promise, nor did Vice-Mayor Don Lane, who also reportedly said he'd second such a motion.
In response Doyon organized a small march to City Council at 3 PM, of about a dozen people, which swelled to a nearly full chamber of participants at 5 PM during Mayor Coonerty's segregated Oral Communications period. One articulate and passionate speaker followed another, some inviting, some denouncing City Council, but almost all urging them to rein in any police attack.
City Council seems terminally timid and coopted by the SCPD and Downtown Association. The same meeting saw City Council unanimously rubberstamped a 50's era Pacific Avenue regression reinstituting two-way traffic in spite of no stats showing a business improvement in other cities that took the same course. Business brainaics have apparently been Occupying Downtown and now want to expel any residue of communal space down there as they desperately try to "fix" the depression. Earlier such attempts such as over-policing, panhandler-punishing parking meters, and anti-homeless "Sitting Ban" laws having apparently not "worked".
J.M. Brown completely ignored the Occupy Santa Cruz protest at City Council though it actually forced Mayor Coonerty (for the first time that I remember) to explain why he was texting during a meeting. As usual Coonerty crunched Oral Communications to 2 minutes per speaker and maintained his "speak only if you're spoken to" position on the Consent Agenda items. (In most other cities, members of the public have the right to speak on the Consent Agenda items individually that make up 75% of the Council's business--not in Santa Cruz, thanks to Coonerty).
I'll be playing that Oral Communications period tomorrow on the stream of free radio at 6:30 PM (http://www.freakradio.org). It'll also be archived a day later at http://www.huffsantacruz.org.
With blatant crackdowns the order of the day in places like Oakland, San Jose, Chicago and elsewhere, I hope Occupy Santa Cruz supporters are considering a Roust Response (advice for folks coming down in response to an emergency call when there's a real police raid, a plan to return and restore the Occupation once that happens, and doublechecking to be sure that folks aren't called down on "wolf" false calls). I also suggest that individuals each adopt one city in California as a sister city and keep tabs on what's happening there--particularly the hot spots--as well as setting up a liaison person in that city.
Just as the Oakland community returned to reclaim its space facing down police violence and teargas last night, Sacramento has been waging a street and legal struggle to restore basic political rights in that city. See below.

Digital Orchestra Mixes Worldwide Musical Performances [Video]
Interactive platform gathers 40 members of the Copenhagen Phil to play individual parts of Beethoven's 7th Symphony.
Classical music is being brought into the 21st century with the World Online Orchestra (WOO) a collaboration between Copenhagen Philharmonic, Makropol in Denmark, and Helios Design Labs in Toronto, Canada.
WOO is an interactive platform where users can listen to the 40 members of the Copenhagen Phil (as it is known) play their individual parts of Beethoven's 7th Symphony. They can then play them together or pick five musicians and create their own ensemble, a mash up of classical music. Right now, WOO is a prototype, but the hope is that in its final stage, that people will be able to record and add themselves to the orchestra – making the World Online Orchestra truly global.
In order to reach that stage, WOO is running a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter with the goal of raising $30,000 (CAD) by the 24th of February. Reads the Kickstarter campaign:
WOO wants to go beyond a process of passive exploration and experience. It needs to lead you to its next logical stage of evolution: playing along and recording through your computer and internet connection, transforming yourself from audience to a participant in the sound and vision of WOO.

Lacerations from faulty exploding toilet: Possibly coming to an ass near you
Attention, Home Depot and Lowe's Shoppers! Attention, all butt owners! Attention!
If you bought the Flushmate III Pressure-Assisted Flushing System or a toilet with one installed, you might want to thank your lucky stars that your butt isn't lacerated! What? Lacerated? As it rectal ribbons? Yup!
Faulty models of the Flushmate III have been causing toilets to explode, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, which has created a "laceration risk." This means if you are of the people in this country who flushes while still sitting (who we call Non-Lookers around here), then you are those around you might be at serious risk for butt damage. Porcelain can be as sharp as glass when broken, because it is fired near the same temperatures that make glass.
Even if you are a standing-and-looking flusher you are in danger of flying porcelain shards (and poop), so please make sure to check your toilets if you upgraded an old one or bought a new one of the following brands: American Standard, Crane, Kohler, Eljer, Mansfield, St. Thomas, or Gerber. There have been 2.3 million toilets recalled so far. If the Flushmate III model in your crapper was made between the years 1997 and 2008, please shut off the water connected to your toilet and call the Flushmate people at (800) 303-5123. They will take your information and send you a free repair kit. Unfortunately, this repair kit is not the subject of a law suit due to its alleged uselessness.
Again, that number is (800) 303-5123. Or visit the Flushmate website for more information on their Product Advisory page.
2 Comments on "Lacerations from faulty exploding toilet: Possibly coming to an ass near you"
I have never had a toilet explode when I flushed but I once was squirted in the face by an errant commode. Thank God I had only taken a piss in the recently remodeled bathroom at Sam's Club, when I reached back to push the flush button. The automatic feature wasn't working and the evil device waited until my face was directly over it then it squirted a stream of water straight up in a way that would have made a bidet proud. I can only imagine what would have happened to a sitting flusher that day.
If I had two faces do you think I'd be wearing this one?
Funny you should post this--my husband wanted us to get a Flushmate III since those are the toilets they have at his office (apparently, they are very awesome toilets). He looked into them and found out about the recall, so we are not going to get one. I don't think cleaning up an exploding toilet would rank highly on my list of fun things to do.
An apple a day keeps the ExLax away!

Yay it's October! I've got an Autumn Leaves tutorial for you today. I wasn't really sure what else to call this, so that's what I went with. I knew I wanted to use OCC Dope, which I purchased at The Makeup Show Orlando, but wasn't sure what else to use, so I finally decided on NARS Galapagos. Dope is such a gorgeous shade. Also, I used the Wayne Goss brushes for the first time today. Holy hell, the 03 is amazing. I used it to apply Dope to the lid and crease. Then I used 05 to apply Galapagos to the outer v, then went back with 03 to blend. Ignore the puffy under eyes, I'm running on less than 6 hours of sleep (and I only slept in 3 hour chunks, so I'm tiiired).
Pr + purchased by me.
Autumn Leaves Tutorial
Autumn Leaves Tutorial
1. Apply OCC Dope to the lid and crease.
2. Deepen the crease and outer v with NARS Galapagos.
3. Line the upper lash line with NARS Black Valley. Line the outer lower lash line with Galapagos and then blend Dope inwards. Highlight at the inner corner, center of lid and under brows with Dakota.
4. Add mascara. Add a tiny bit of Urban Decay Goldmine to the lower waterline. Line the upper waterline with Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Perversion.
- Too Faced Shadow Insurance
- OCC Dope Loose Color Concentrate – lid and crease, inner lower lash line
- NARS Galapagos – crease, outer corner of lid, outer lower lash line
- CARA Dakota – center of lid, highlight
- Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Goldmine – lower waterline
- Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Perversion – upper waterline
- NARS Siberia (powder foundation) – to blend out the edges of shadows
- NARS Black Valley Eye Paint – upper lash line
- NARS Brow Perfector in Suriname – to fill in brows
- Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara
- OCC Skin Primer
- OCC Tint Tinted Moisturizer in Y0
- OCC Skin Conceal in R0 – under eyes, nose, chin
- NARS Light Reflecting Loose Setting Powder – t-zone
- NARS Zen (Adult Content) – blush
- NARS Miss Liberty (Adult Content) – highlighter
- Urban Decay 24/7 Lip Pencil in Rush – lightly filled in lips
- NARS Velvet Gloss Lip Pencil in New Lover
I am SO GLAD I picked up the NARS Adult Content blush palette at TMS Orlando! I love it. It has shades I've always wanted to try – Zen, Miss Liberty and Deep Throat. I have Desire in my Danmari Palette and love it, so I certainly don't mind a back up.
How are you celebrating October being here? Has the weather cooled off where you're at? It's still in the 90s for me. I'm wishing for that cool crisp Fall air, but we may not have it here for several weeks.

Judging by the lack of interest, involvement and oversight, it's difficult not to conclude that Congress has largely taken a not-my-problem approach to America's wars.
Sure, lawmakers will hold the occasional hearing and file their sound bites in the record, but more troops and more funding are always available to the president who wants them.
This is especially vexing, as Stephen R. Weissman points out in Roll Call, because "it is widely accepted that past administrations, acting without Congressional input, made huge mistakes in America's last two major wars."
Weissman reports that this head-in-the-sand behavior persists even when obvious questions present themselves, as with Afghanistan and Ambassador Karl Eikenberry's leaked wires. —PZS
Stephen Weissman in Roll Call:
According to several officials, key Congressional foreign policy committees have neither received nor requested a National Intelligence Estimate or comparable broad intelligence community analysis of the issues in Afghanistan. They have denied themselves a major resource of Congress in foreign policy: the ability to compare intelligence analysis with administration policy judgments. In Iraq, the Senate at least requested and received an NIE; its mistake was in failing to examine the document and reveal its flaws.
Learning little from its failures to expose administration divisions over Vietnam and Iraq, Congress has fumbled a golden opportunity to assess the U.S. Embassy in Kabul's last-minute dissent from the developing Dec. 1 decision for a U.S. military "surge." When news leaked of two November cables from Ambassador Karl Eikenberry "expressing deep concerns about sending more U.S. troops to Afghanistan," one key foreign policy committee requested the classified documents. The State Department refused to provide them, and the committee never considered using its subpoena power, according to an informed source. Eikenberry subsequently testified that after "refinement" and "clarification" he was now "100 percent supportive" of the president's strategy. No Congressman from either party pressed him to describe the basis of his reported reservations or how they were resolved.

MANY businesses are having their best year for some time, the head of Dorset Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI) has said.
The chamber's chief executive, Ian Girling, said the mood among businesses was improving as he urged members to make their voices heard to help drive growth in the county.
Speakers at the DCCI Patrons' Annual Dinner set out their hopes for the year ahead and called for the patrons to have their input as the voice of business in the county.
Dorset Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) director Lorna Gibbons, Dorset County Council economic development manager David Walsh and DCCI council member Ian Cambrook of Pidela Consulting, spoke to nearly 30 people at the event.
Mr Girling said: "The mood among businesses is very positive and many have had their best year for some time.
"Patrons are incredibly special to the chamber but are also incredibly important as business leaders, major employers, training providers and key drivers of the economy in Dorset.
"Now is the time to seize the opportunity to make our voices heard and have a direct impact on economic development over the next 12 months."
Recruitment agency TeamJobs and global aerospace company Field International were welcomed as DCCI Gold Patrons at Les Bouviers Restaurant at Canford Magna.
They bring the number of patrons – companies in the top tier of chamber membership – to 18. There is one 'premier partner' – AFC Bournemouth.
Richard Marples, managing director of Field International, said: "We felt that patron status was appropriate for a company of our size and calibre but also to reflect the responsibility we take for helping to create jobs and prosperity in Dorset."
Jason Gault, managing director of TeamJobs, said: "We are having our best year to date by some margin and we want to keep that momentum going.
"Now is the right time to enhance our support for the chamber and increase our profile."
Both have been members for some time but decided to become gold patrons for the coming year.
Lester Aldridge solicitors has upgraded its patronage from bronze to gold, while Savills has upgraded from silver to gold.

Reviewed by Johnny Butane
Written by Richard Laymon
Published by Leisure Books
Laymon's Beast House stories sure are an interesting lot; while most writers will return to the same haunted house again and again or the same strange small town, Laymon had a tale about creatures from an island in the middle of nowhere who managed to find their way to California, make women fall in love with them (usually after sexually assaulting them), and would randomly slaughter people they found in their house.
Midnight Tour was the last of the Beast House books (following The Cellar and Beast House), it's also the longest and, at times, the most difficult to get through because for so very long, seemingly nothing happens at all. Leisure shows once and for all that they're not concerned with page length with Midnight Tour; it comes it at just under 600 pages, with a very small typeset, making this the biggest novel they've released to date.
The story picks both immediately after the events of Beast House and almost 20 years later, with two congruent story lines going on throughout; one is about a girl named Sandy who managed to escape the slaughter that ended the last book with her beast son, Eric, and is living in solitude in the woods outside of Malacasa Point, CA. A director who wants to make a movie about the events tries to assault her and she ends up killing him, which puts her and Eric on the run, both to live a very strange life of murder and deceit, though usually for good reason.
The other tale is set in 1997, when Beast House is one of the biggest tourist attractions in the country. The tour through the house is now fully automated with tape players that tell the story of all the murders that occurred there. There is also a special, adults-only Midnight Tour that tells even more of the gruesome details and shows more of the house. This plot line follows a new girl who's come to town and how she finds love and other such nonsense, not without getting naked a time or two, as well as a man who's been obsessed with Beast House forever and what goes down when he finally gets to take the Midnight Tour.
Actually, there are quite a few plotlines running throughout Midnight Tour and after about page 300, you're probably going to wonder where they're all leading. There is a relatively satisfying resolution to it all, but it just takes so damn long to get there that you almost can't appreciate it when it does come around.
One thing that will keep you going, though, are the seemingly random acts of violence that appear throughout the book. That's the one thing you learn if you've read enough Laymon; his characters are never what they seem and they're always capable of doing something horrible when you least expect it. So when you have a book as long as this, there are a lot of chances for horrible things to happen, which will keep your rapt attention for the book's entire length.
Laymon does go to one extreme here that was very hard to get around; in one scene some peeping toms are spying on a girl in her hot tub, who is soon joined by two more beautiful women, all three of whom decide they need to be naked. It's so unrealistic that the only thing that would've made it completely eye rolling is if they had all started making out, but their sudden decision to search the bushes with handguns while still in the buff is almost as bad. You kind of start getting the feeling you're reading the work of a dirty old man, and it's a bit creepy.
But really, there's nothing too negative you can say about any of Laymon's work; he was an author that had a real way of keeping his characters (more or less) realistic and keep readers on the edge of their seat for the entire book. Midnight Tour is no different, it's just that the edge becomes more and more uncomfortable the longer you sit on it and at 600 pages, you'll be there for a while.

realthing said
Someone wake up really bad today….....
Could be, but I actually agree with Cyzer. It is good to celebrate your amount of sales or milestones that you may have reached, but there are those who kinda go far with it. There are currently 6 sales celebration threads on the first page of the forums (when I browse the forums on VideoHive).
I think sales celebrations should be celebrated in the "Yay!-thread". Maybe we can even create a new "Global Sales Celebration Thread".
Having the first page of the forums always filled with at least three "yay 100 sales" threads is not really helping anyone I think. If we keep it all in one thread it might be more interesting and the discussion might become more dynamic instead of "Yay I have reached 100 sales" and in reply about 25 times a "Congrats!" or a variation on that.
Everybody was thinking it, finally someone said it. Probably forum rules should be revised. That's simply an attempt to draw attention, not so different from self-promotion. I back up Cyzer.
I don't think that is such a big deal… on the other side there are forum moderators to place thinks in order .
There were many discussions like this one in the past. And there never was an official statement, or if there was, it was not against this, or – as you see – nothing was done regarding this issue.
Just think about it – everybody has access to these forums, even new users. And these forum topics are great testimonials which bring in new authors. I don't think that's something Envato would like gone.
Yay! 100 Salez
No, they're not very interesting threads.
I agree that these threads are often futile attempts to draw attention to the poster's own portfolio. They're often also just the need to share an achievement IMHO. On the other hand, if everyone were to do it the forums would be unreadable. There are many of us with a great many sales who have never posted a single "achievement" thread.
The thing is, we've had this debate time and again, and generally the upshot is that as long as it stays below a certain level it's okay and good for morale, especially amongst newbs. For many, it's probably their first interaction with the community. It's a kind of "Here I am", which is psychologically important given how quickly users can sink without trace these days.
The options are:- Move to Off Topic. Lock and redirect poster to a single stickied Achievement thread. Leave 'em and see how it goes.
I'm not sure I like any of the three options that much.
One of the problems is that these threads tend to provoke a rather high number of not-so-heartfelt "Congratz" responses which keeps them riding high in the forums, and once that dies down the OP with a vested publicity interest will tactically bump the thread with a "Thankz" response. That means that they are moving more interesting and relevant discussions off the front page and ultimately throttling meaningful forum participation.
But what to do?
Keep the opinions coming in.
motionvids said
I think sales celebrations should be celebrated in the "Yay!-thread". Maybe we can even create a new "Global Sales Celebration Thread".
Unfortunately, I can't move a thread into another thread. I can only move threads to another forum.
A while ago I used to leave them until they got bumped by the OP and as soon as the OP did that I'd move 'em into off-topic. Also I think I used to move anything over a week old into Off-topic too.
But it's
work boring work boring unpaid work , a bit like disabling the spam threads that constantly appear on the forums.
Maybe a non-stickied Global Sales Celebration thread is the answer. Any new Yay! threads get locked down with the message please post in the Global Sales Celebration thread. Once users realise that they're not getting the unique exposure on the forums, I expect the practice will die down anyway.
How about that? Or is that a bit kill-joyish?
I've got 1 sale…I'm so excited, I can't sleep! I don't need school anymore and bla bla
I'm very happy for those guys, but we have to keep our forum clean!

McCown Excited About Tedford
There were many factors that swayed Josh McCown to sign with the Buccaneers-- familiarity with Lovie Smith, the chance to start etc.
Another point that's being overlooked is the system being installed by new offensive coordinator Jeff Tedford. McCown spent "a lot of time" with Tedford during his visit and subsequent signing.
"I think it's a good match," McCown told Steve Duemig on Thursday afternoon.

JERUSALEM (Nov. 7)
Despite the heave cloak of secrecy that surrounded its deliberations and the absence of any official confirmation, the general conclusion here today is that the Cabinet rejected the political aspects of the draft peace treaty being negotiated between Israel and Egypt in Washington and also found fault with many of the military elements.
As a result, Defense Minister Ezer Weizman who left for the U.S. today, is expected to stop over in Canada on route to Washington to brief Premier Menachem Begin who is currently touring Canada. At the same time, it was disclosed today that Cabinet Secretary Arye Naor will also fly to Canada shortly to report to Begin at the behest of the Cabinet, an unusual move inasmuch as Weizman will also be seeing the Premier.
Reports circulating here today said the political clauses of the peace treaty met with fierce disapproval by the Cabinet and it was decided to reject them at least until Begin returns to Israel next week. It is expected that Weizman and Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan, the chief Israeli negotiators, will be called home at that time for further discussion.
These developments indicated that, from the government's point of view, the reports brought from Washington by Weizman revealed an insignificant degree of progress in the negotiations. The Cabinet's reaction to the treaty drafts made it virtually certain that they will not be completed before Nov. 19, the first anniversary of President Anwar Sadat's visit to Jerusalem.
Weizman appeared distinctly unhappy with the reaction of his Cabinet colleagues when he boarded his plane for the U.S. at Ben Gurion Airport today. He denied that he was disappointed with the two days of Cabinet sessions. But he acknowledged that many problems were raised and that the Cabinet offered solutions to some and set guidelines for the solution of others. "I am convinced that we are nearing the signing of a peace agreement," Weizman told reporters.
He added, however, "I am convinced that it will be a mistake if we do not reach an agreement." He also said that the time has come for the leaders to tell the nation the pros and cons of the peace agreement and the nature of what lies ahead. He said he believed the pros are much more important than the cons. "I am convinced that the new way of life (with a peace treaty) will be a positive one. We may need some time to fasten our belts, but we shall have a new era," he said.
It was learned that yesterday's Cabinet meeting witnessed sharp exchanges between Weizman and other ministers. Some expressed disapproval over the military clauses, particularly the pace of Israel's withdrawal from Sinai. They insisted that the final stages of withdrawal must coincide with the completion of the new air bases in the Negev that will replace the bases abandoned in Sinai.
Meanwhile, Acting Premier Yigael Yadin said on Israel Radio tonight that "There still remain some basic, very important differences in concluding the peace negotiations between Israel and Egypt and these are not only differences on small issue." He emphasized that there was no need to rush into the conclusion of a treaty. "This is a basic treaty which will determine our security and way of life for many years to come and we must take each issue and attempt to ground it in accordance with our considerations of what is best for us."

Uniform lease prices are up next for Cadillac dealers.
They've already agreed (well, most of them) to a requirement that they eschew "fire sale" ads, says Cadillac Marketing Vice President Don Butler. Now, "We'll tell them that there's a certain lease price below which they can't advertise."
Well, they can, so it's not price-fixing. But if a dealer advertises a lower lease price than Cadillac specifies, poof! There goes that dealer's share of the money Cadillac is using to reward dealers who follow the guidelines.
Butler says the shift in message should, over time, focus buyers on the cars, not the deals, upgrading the brand's image."You don't see Tiffany's saying, 'Come in today for the triple-blue-diamond deal,' " Butler says.
The minimum-advertised lease price starts later this year. It's not a set number for each model, rather a figure based on the price, down payment and other factors. But it will be the same for identical models sold by different dealers.
The timing coincides with the launch of an updated, 2013 SRX crossover utility. It'll join the new-to-the-lineup 2013 ATS small sedan going on sale later this summer and 2013 XTS big sedan already in showrooms.
The three will be the freshest faces in Caddy stores, and will have in common what the brand calls CUE, for Cadillac user experience. It's mainly a big, 8-inch touch-screen in the middle of the dashboard that, in the right versions, has more things you can do, and ways you can do them, than there are raindrops in a storm.
A Drive On favorite: 60 virtual push buttons that let you store not only your favorite radio stations as you normally would with buttons, but also links to almost anything -- frequently used phone numbers, commonly chosen navigation destinations, favorite songs or artists from any device plugged into the Caddy (which has as many as three USB slots to accommodate the likes of iPod, iPad and thumb drive simultaneously).
The buttons scroll across the bottom of the screen when you ask them to, so they don't hog the whole display. You can use finger swipes to move quickly through the line of buttons, as you'd control a smart phone or computer tablet display.
Butler, in a dinner conversation with Drive On at the Atlanta press briefing on the 2013 ATS, said the Cadillac dealer council is backing the moves away from garish, price-oriented ads. More focus on the vehicles and their features, it is hoped, will dress up the brand's image as it rolls out more new products and begins more aggressively challenging the best German and Japanese automakers.
The ATS, for instance, is aimed directly at the BMW 3-series.
Of course, nattering nabobs of negativity always could see a conspiracy lurking: Big Automaker and Big Dealers join to eliminate the low-price-ad weapon of roguish dealers trying to steal sales from the store down the road.
Cadillac doubts it will be viewed that way, and says that, over time, the product-not-price marketing will benefit all dealers.
Presumably, in the quiet of the little, windowless, airless back room in the dealership, buyers still will be offered better-than-advertised prices by the most aggressive dealers. And maybe it'll even seem more compelling, because it's a "secret" number, lower than the dealer is permitted to advertise.
But when dealers aren't beating each other to death with low-price ads -- hard to stomach as they are -- will buyers actually wind up getting the good deals they otherwise would?

The Mannequin Does Not Control Us
The mannequin has been a popular topic for debate for years, but has recently reached the headlines once again. Specifically, Topshop stores across the UK are under scrutiny for mannequins that appear "too thin." However, while it's easy to point fingers, I believe the true problem runs much deeper than any store or single corporation.
The mannequin can never be defined as an ideal representation of a woman's body because no mannequin can represent all women. That's the beauty of being human: we can't be summarized by one shape. I was lucky enough to have been taught growing up that I didn't have to look like the Barrie dolls I owned, that Barbie isn't real but a toy. My body doesn't look like that because I'm a human and I'm …

This article is commentary by an independent contributor, separate from TheStreet's regular news coverage.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Tax and accounting software firms such as Intuit ( INTU) are getting ready to step well ... into it. "We are at a point now where we see the world shifting once again," Brad Smith, president and CEO of the Mountain View, Calif., company, told analysts in September. "End users no longer want to be consumers. We want to be participants." But if what analysts are saying back to executives such as Smith is any indication, what consumers really want is to not be customers at all. Never mind that Intuit's products handle something like 2 billion invoices, 1.6 million vendors and 30 million employees; the overall tax prep and accounting software market is going just one place. Nowhere. "The sheer number of competitors is so high that revenue will be hard to come by in this industry," said Dale Schmidt, an industry analyst for IBISWorld, based in Santa Monica, Calif., who has written a definitive report on the topic. Tax business now like the music business
Schmidt spent a good hour over the phone with me explaining his research into the eroding economics of tax prep and accounting in the information age. It was a familiar call, since I have seen the same trends grind the music, publishing and legal professions to a similar fine, white powder. "It is pretty much the emergence of the free online tax filing systems," he explained. Just like in music and books, there seems to be no end to the number of outlets offering all or part of Intuit's products for free or at no incremental cost.


text: Posted February 1, 2014 looking back at the mock i did last year, i took a guy who seems to be the rookie of the year, and a guy who went in the 1st, and started at C for the cowboys. now this year draft. several things i want to see done, which includes getting more talent at the skills position, and HOGMOLLIES. i like prospects from 3 areas in the US, the southeast, Texas, and Cali areas. but this is my mock draft, and here is what i would like to see. 1st Round Odell Beckham Jr. 6'0 193 son of a track runner/ coach and LSU running back. this guy understands how to run routes, by setting DBs up with his stem. does not lose speed in and out of his breaks. he caught 62% of his balls at 10+ yards, and runs routes on every level. he also plays a lot larger then his listed size, has huge hands and long vine like arms. went over 2200 all purpose yards this past year, winning the Paul Hornung Award given to the most versatile player in the nation. can return punts and kick-off returns. also named to the all-american team as a returner. i like my WR prospects to have 20 or more TDs over their college career, but since he has scored in various ways, he gets a pass. (OBJ finished with 14) from New Orleans, LA. compares to Randall Cobb/ Cordarrelle Patterson. i have a dream of him running that same option read where Cam flips it to the WR who motions into the backfield, but instead of filpping it to Lafell, it goes to Beckham. 2nd Round Bradley Roby 5'11 192 coming into this past season, he was looked at as the top returning CB. well he had a rocky summer, catching a charge, and getting suspended for a game. he then had a slow start to the season once returning to the field, getting abused by Jared Abbrederis and Cal. but by the end of the season, he got back into playing form. he tighten up his technique and looked like the top CB he was once projected as. this guy is BALLHAWK.finished with 36 PBUs, 8 INTs, and 3 TDs. has the footwork to explode out of his backpedal breaking back on the football. willing tackler, will help in run support. runs a legit 4.3 40, and he is ideal for the zone scheme the panthers run. i think he slides some because he finished his career at OSU hurt with a knee bruise, not as good tape in 2013, and off field issues. from Suwanee, Ga. compares to Janoris Jenkins on field. 3rd Round Ja'Wuan James 6'6 315 first hog of the draft. this guy has 49 straight starts at RT for the vols. moves really well, footwork is some of the best i have seen in this class. can reach the second level, and attack LBs. not really know as a mualer, but does have potential to play on the left side. he is a much better pass protector, and his hand placement is decent, so i can see that transition. i like his game 10x better then his all famous bookend Tiny Richardson. was having a decent senior bowl week until he suffered a sprain knee, and had to withdraw from the game. not worried about the injury because the guy started 49 straight games on a SEC team. from Suwanee, Ga. compares to Eugene Monroe. 4th Round Terrence Brooks 5'11 197 smaller safety prospect from Dunnellon, Fla. was recruited as a CB to FSU but has a knack to just be around the ball.has the ability to cover the slot, which is a plus since the scheme the panthers run sends the nickel on blitzes a lot. plus i imagine Mitchell coming back, and adding Brooks will allow him to play around the LOS more in running situations plus you can blitz him even more which is a plus. finished with 5 INTs, 15 PBUs, and 3 FFs. compares to Antrel Rolle. 3 people like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Before They Were Famous Supercut Videos
It's always funny to see what actors were doing before they became big, famous stars. All actors have to start somewhere though. People aren't just handed stardom, it takes a lot of hard work and they have to pay their dues. If they are talented enough, they'll get noticed and move up in the world. The gang over at Screen Junkies has put together a couple of videos that point out a lot of things several big stars did before they blew up. Most of them got their start in really bad commercials. These are funny to watch, so enjoy!

December: It's not a "dead" month for dealersPosted by mtrocchi on December 8, 2009
I've always liked observing what top dealers do to . . . well, be top dealers. The most common denominator: they never stop going after business, even in a supposed dead month like December! Cases in point from last weekend come from three of the industry's top 100 dealers: Lakeside Marine, Galati Yacht Sales and South Shore Marine. Lakeside Marine (Lakeside, Ohio) held a "Holiday Boat Hop" on Sunday afternoon in its showroom. More than 170 customers and prospects registered in advance with more than 150 of them showing up. Some 45 more just registered at the door.
Besides "hopping" from boat to boat in a holiday-decorated showroom packed with Tiaras, Pursuits and Pathfinders, guests saw a special emphasis on electronics displays featuring Raymarine's newest. It was manned by a sales team that provided demonstrations and wrote orders with customers to upgrade during the off-season to, for example, the latest wide screens.
"We made electronics a big part of the event," noted Lakeside President Lowell Joy. "The newest products are really amazing and we've found that when we devote the time to seriously show and sell the idea of upgrading, it pays off."
Similarly, Lakeside's service department had a big role to play. In preparation for the "Boat Hop," the service crew inspected customers' boats in winter storage and made a list for each owner of recommended things to get done during the off-season. "Again, going after service work was a primary objective at the 'Boat Hop' and it resulted in a variety of work orders," explained Joy.
What about "Boat Hop" sales? — A new 25' Pursuit Offshore, and pre-owned 43' Tiara convertible and 24' Denali Pursuit. "Never say never on a winter Sunday," quipped Joy
For Galati Yacht Sales (St. Petersburg, Fla.) it was boat show time last weekend. To boost their customers' visit to their exhibit at the St. Petersburg Power & Sail Show, Galati ran a slick multi-week e-mail campaign that, among other things, promoted what they were going to display and offered advance free tickets to the show.
Darren Plymale, general manager, reported 1,553 tickets were requested this year. While it's probable less tickets were actually redeemed this year vs. last (1,264 tickets were redeemed in '08) unusually cold rain soaked the boat show on three of its four days.
"We're obviously disappointed," said Plymale, "only one good weather day out of four was totally unexpected. On the heals of the good shows we had at Tampa, Ft. Myers and Lauderdale, we had high expectations for St. Pete and we put together a great exhibit of new Vikings and Tiaras along with some choice used and bank-owned boats. Still, we're not getting heartburn over it. You never succeed if you don't prepare. We were prepared, just not for very bad weather! When the weather cleared on Sunday, we saw a good crowd. Serious prospects. We have some good sea trails scheduled this week, and we have leads to push us into the New Year."
It was like a New Year's party at South Shore Marine (Huron, Ohio) last Saturday for the annual Holiday Open House. That included a bright red Contender-turned refreshment bar, catered food, live music, door prizes, and more.
"This has become a tradition for us," says Tom Mack, president. "We basically clear out much of our showroom for the open house because people look forward to this and we'll see upwards of 400 customers and prospects pack in during the day. Our business model calls for maintaining close relationships with our customers. Our Holiday Open House is one of the important ways we do that.
"This year, the event also gave people a chance to preview our newest line, Regal Boats, before we take them to the Cleveland Boat & Fishing Show in January. We've added Regal to our Contender, Scout, Carolina Classic and Rampage lines. No, I can say December is definitely not a dead month for us," Mack emphasized.

Thailand's connection to the Internet started at AIT with "AIT.TH"
25th Anniversary of ".TH" Top-level Domain Name
Prof. Kanchana Kanchanasut (center) and Dr. Steve Crocker (second, right) with Prime Minister of Thailand Yingluck Shinawatra. The delegates to 25th Anniversary of .TH presented the prime minister with a copy of The History of the Internet in Thailand.
Twenty-five years ago, Thailand was connected to the Internet for the first time at the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT). In the late 1980s AIT was a key hub for the early development of the Internet in Thailand, and was the site of the country's first email.
In June 1988, AIT's Professor Kanchana Kanchanasut successfully registered the Internet top-level domain name ".TH", a move that ushered the country into the world of the nascent Internet. For the first time, email addresses were possible for members of the academic community in Thailand through dial-up accounts to "ait.th".
Online connectivity began at the Asian Institute of Technology after it received a Sun Unix-based workstation that was used as a server to establish the Kingdom's first Internet connection, hooking up with regional internet guru Mr. Robert Elz of the University of Melbourne, as well as with the United States.
By mid-1988, Prof. Kanchana received authorization to oversee providing domain name registration services under ".TH". The domain name was registered by AIT for an experimental network called the Thai Computer Science Network (TCSnet). Through the support of the Australian International Development Agency, ACSnet software enabled AIT to connect with Prince of Songkla University, Chulalongkorn University, and Thammasat University. AIT and PSU were the gateways to the Australian Academic Research and Education Network (AARNet) through which the TCSnet community could communicate with the global TCP/IP network or Internet for the first time.
The domain name registration task was jointly provided by AIT and Chulalongkorn University until 1999, when newly formed Thai Network Information Center Foundation (THNIC) took over. Today .TH remains the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the country, and is administered by THNIC.
To mark the historic founding, THNIC Foundation celebrated the ".TH" 25th Anniversary with a one-day conference on 6 June 2013 in Bangkok. The event brought together a who's who of the country's Internet professionals who paid tribute to the key innovators involved in the development of the Internet in Thailand a quarter century ago.
H.E. Mr. Niwatthamrong Boonsongpaisan, Minister, Prime Minister's Office, Thailand, delivered an opening address. Praising the work of the early academic pioneers for their impact on the country, he said the Internet is so much a part of people's daily lives it is like "American Express" in that, as the saying goes, "you can't leave home without it."
In a keynote address Dr. Steve Crocker, Chairman of the Board of Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) spoke of how the need to bring people together, to connect work and to solve problems drove American computer scientists' ground-breaking research on networks in the 1960s. Considered one of the Internet's fathers, Dr. Crocker witnessed its birth. As a UCLA graduate student, he helped create the ARPANET protocols which were the foundation for today's Internet.
At the event, AIT Presidents past and present delivered reflections on AIT's role in the development of the Internet, and its present work. In his remarks, Prof. Alastair North, who was AIT President at the time, paid tribute to Prof. Kanchana. The computer science research division at AIT has spawned a huge number of internet and ICT professionals across Asia, he said.
Reminding the audience of what work was like in Thailand prior to introduction of the Internet, AIT Acting President Worsak Kanok-Nukulchai said AIT.TH was a prime example of the Institute's historical role for introducing new technologies that positively impact the country and region.
Prof. Kanchana, currently AIT Acting Vice President for Research, said her work to connect the country online in the 1980s was quite unintentional. "AIT did not have email," she explained. It was the mode of communication she had grown accustomed to while completing her graduate studies in Australia. Returning to Thailand, she found the country's lack of connection to be a major drawback, which motivated her to make the Internet a reality.
According to Prof. Kanchana, the TSCnet gateway at AIT was under the care of graduate student Ms. Pensri Charoenchai, and email addresses were provided to academic colleagues both within and outside AIT through dial-up accounts to AIT. The server provided the first online connection gateway out of Thailand, and the main applications used on the network were email for academicians and file transfer protocol (FTP).
From there, the Internet quickly flourished amongst Thai academicians. In 1994, commercial Internet Service Providers (ISP) were born and provided the nation's general population with access to the Internet for the first time.


text: Yes, ExpressScribe is great! I have the foot pedal unit (and several years medical transcription experience), so that was what I always used, and still keep as a backup. However, due to physical issues (RA), I have to baby my hands a lot more than in the past, so I'm looking for a more "hands off" way to do it. For my dissertation, I'm planning on doing mostly video capture, and not so much transcription, but I do have some Skype interviews that I want to transcribe to be able to mark up and take quotes from, so I'll likely do the "listen - repeat to Dragon" method and see how it goes.

I've been using it to transcribe interviews and field sessions for years now, and it's been invaluable - you can speed up and slow down your recording, once you upload it into the software, and it tracks your recording to the second. You can also restart from exactly where you left off when you stop transcribing for a day, which has also been invaluable. The catch is you need digitized recordings, but somehow I doubt that's an issue in this community :) Hope this is helpful!

By Chris Woodyard, USA TODAY
Recharging smartphones, digital music players and other personal electronics cordlessly will be as easy as dropping them onto the console of a car under a deal being announced today by General Motors.
But GM (GM) might have a bigger goal in sight. The deal with Powermat offers the possibility that someday soon electric cars could be recharged without plugging them in.
GM will take a $5 million stake in Powermat, a company that sells cordless charging units for home use. It is making the announcement at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
The nation's largest automaker plans to install the Powermat units in its new Chevrolet Volt extended-range electric car. It'll start showing up in vehicles in about 18 months. GM will eventually make it available to other models. The plug-in Volt will have a center compartment for both front- and rear-seat passengers where electronic devices can be placed for recharging.
A fully charged Volt can be driven 25 miles or more on electric power alone. "We couldn't think of a better platform to show this cutting-edge technology," said Micky Bly, executive director for GM electrical systems. The collaboration will "allow us to have a significant head start on this wireless technology."
Powermat, founded in Israel in 2007, says automotive applications have long been part of its plan. Powermat CEO Ran Poliakine says besides cordlessly recharging portable electronics, the system can be used with special cups to keep coffee hot and soft drinks cold. "We want every car in GM to have this wireless charging system to help consumers charge everything they have without the hassle of plugs," he said.
But the larger opportunity might be recharging the batteries of electric cars without having to plug them in. Poliakine says Powermat has already demonstrated the capability. It holds the prospect of being able to park an electric car atop a charging mat at a shopping center, office, airport or at home and have it wireless recharged. "It is part of this whole vision," he says. He declined to estimate how soon such a technology might be rolled out.
The best application for such cordless charging would be public stations, says Chelsea Sexton, an electric-car activist who was among the first to receive a Volt for long-term testing.
"It's a nice little convenience," Sexton says.

Dress Code For Doctors
A new dress code for health care workers may cut down the spread of germs.
The Society for Healthcare Epidemiology has released new guidelines for hospital clothing for doctors, nurses and other hospital workers that specifies short sleeves, bare hands & forearms, and white coats that are cleaned at least once a week if not more, to keep from spreading germs between patients.
The group also says neckties aren't a good idea, and workers should avoid wearing rings and watches. It says it's not sure about name tags, necklaces and cell phones, but when in doubt, it's best to clean them or get rid of them.

Prairie Advocacy
MPF Supports Grassland Wildlife-friendly Land Use Policies and State, Regional, and National Conservation Initiatives
Landscape-scale changes to benefit native grassland wildlife can often be best achieved by supporting agricultural, energy, and other land use policies that are grassland wildlife-friendly, and by advocating for robust public conservation funding.
To this end, MPF supports strong conservation measures in the Farm Bill, is represented on the Natural Resources Conservation Service's State Technical Committee, the State Technical Committee CRP Subcommittee, the Missouri Bird Conservation Initiative, and is a member of the Missouri Teaming With Wildlife Steering Committee.
Grasslands Coalition
In 1998, MPF helped formed the Grasslands Coalition, a group of grassland conservation partners working to pool expertise and resources for prairie conservation. One of the group's first steps was to identify core areas of the state that were strongholds for state-endangered greater prairie-chickens—encompassing many of the state's native grassland "islands"—and the best places to invest limited resources to protect and restore grassland habitat for all prairie species. These Focus Areas (FAs) contain public land owned by the Missouri departments of Conservation and Natural Resources, MPF, The Nature Conservancy, and land owned by private landowners maintained as native prairie, pasture, or cropland. All FAs together total 184,980 acres of public and private land.
Grassland Conservation Opportunity Areas
In 2005, the Missouri Department of Conservation was called upon by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to identify the best places in the state to meet the needs of wildlife, to focus conservation efforts and thus prevent the federal listing of any more plants or animals as threatened or endangered. As part of this Comprehensive Wildlife Strategy, the Department of Conservation designated grassland Conservation Opportunity Areas (COAs) as the best places in the state to conserve prairie wildlife. All COAs containing grasslands total 1,078,154 acres of public and mostly private land.
The Grasslands Coalition-designated FAs formed the basis for most of the grassland COAs, as the map shows. The COAs (in green and labeled) include the FAs (in blue), except for the Loess Hills and Southeast Sand Grassland COAs, which were designated to bolster conservation efforts of the extremely rare prairie natural communities within their boundaries.
