The World's Largest Fossil Wilderness
An Illinois coal mine holds a snapshot of life on earth 300 million years ago, when a massive earthquake "froze" a swamp in time
- By Guy Gugliotta
- Photographs by Layne Kennedy
- Smithsonian magazine, July 2009, Subscribe
Finding a fossil in a coal mine is no big deal. Coal deposits, after all, are petrified peat swamps, and peat is made from decaying plants, which leave their imprints in mud and clay as it hardens into shale stone.
But it was a different thing entirely when John Nelson and Scott Elrick, geologists with the Illinois State Geological Survey, examined the Riola and Vermilion Grove coal mines in eastern Illinois. Etched into ceilings of the mine shafts is the largest intact fossil forest ever seen—at least four square miles of tropical wilderness preserved 307 million years ago. That's when an earthquake suddenly lowered the swamp 15 to 30 feet and mud and sand rushed in, covering everything with sediment and killing trees and other plants. "It must have happened in a matter of weeks," says Elrick. "What we see here is the death of a peat swamp, a moment in geologic time frozen by an accident of nature."
To see this little-known wonder, I joined Nelson and Elrick at the Vermilion Grove site, a working mine operated by St. Louis-based Peabody Energy and closed to the public. I donned a hard hat, a light, gloves and steel-toed boots. I received an oxygen bottle and a safety lecture. In case of emergency—poison gas, fire or an explosion—follow the red lights to find the way out of the mine, safety manager Mike Middlemas counseled. We could encounter "thick black smoke, and you won't be able to see anything in front of you." He said to use the lifeline running along the ceiling, a slender rope threaded through wooden cones, like floats in a swimming pool.
The fossil-rich coal seam is 230 feet below ground, and we rode there in an open-sided, Humvee-like diesel jitney known as a "man-trip." The driver took us through four miles of bewildering twists and turns in tunnels illuminated only by escape beacons and the vehicle's headlights. The journey took 30 minutes and ended in Area 5. The tunnels here are 6.5 feet high and about the width of a two-way suburban street.
The tunnels were silent and, lit by low-wattage bulbs, gloomy. Humid summer air, drawn in from above, was chilly and clingy underground, where temperatures hover around 60 degrees Fahrenheit year-round. Miners are finished extracting coal here, and the sides of the tunnel have been sprayed with quicklime to suppress explosive coal dust. The shale roof—made of the sediment that destroyed the forest so long ago—is cracking and flaking off now that the coal below it has been removed. Wire mesh covers the ceiling to prevent big pieces from falling into the roadways or hitting miners.
Nelson picked his way along the tunnel, stepping around piles of broken stone and lumps of coal tumbled like black dice across the dusty floor. He stopped and looked upward. There, shining in the glow from his helmet light, is the forest—a riot of intertwined tree trunks, leaves, fern fronds and twigs silhouetted black-on-gray on the clammy shale surface of the tunnel roof. "I had seen fossils before, but nothing like this," he says.
Nelson, who is now retired, first visited the Riola-Vermilion Grove site during a routine inspection shortly after the mine opened in 1998. He spotted fossils but didn't pay much attention to them. He saw more fossils when he inspected different tunnels the next year, and still more the year after that. Elrick joined him in 2005, and by then the fossils added up to "too many," Elrick says. "Something odd was going on."
Nelson called in two paleobotanists, William DiMichele, of the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, and Howard Falcon-Lang, of Britain's University of Bristol, to view the site. Falcon-Lang describes it as "a spectacular discovery" because the whole forest—not just individual trees or plants—is intact on the ceiling. Most ancient peat forests die gradually, leaving only spotty evidence of what grew there. Because this one was buried all at once, almost everything that was there is still there. "We can look at the trees and the surrounding vegetation and try to understand the whole forest," says DiMichele.
The lords of this jungle were the lycopsids: scaly plants with trunks up to 6 feet in circumference that grew up to 120 feet in height and bore spore-producing cones. They looked like giant asparagus spears. In the pale light of the tunnel, 30-foot fossil traces of lycopsid gleam slickly in the shale roof like alligator skins.

I saw this in the news paper and had to look it up on line. It is so interesting and i would like to know if there was any vidio made at the time of these visits to the mines. Are there any actual samples of the rock or shale that shows any of this I myself would never go down into a mine but thanks to people like you we can see the wonders that it holds THANK YOU Melodie Harrison

I worked at Maplecreek mine in Washington County, Southwest pa. mine closed a few years back. I'm cleaning out the basement and found a fossil that i brought home from the mine probably in 2000. Decided to try and find something out on it and came across this sight. My piece is about 2ft long, 6inches wide and about inch and 1/2 wide in middle. has thin horizontal lines running the length that are fairly close and vertical lines that are spaced between 1 and 3 inches apart. the vertical lines are matched to the backside. it must have been round then flattened out. don't know. If i had an email address i would take a pic and send it. If someone would be interested. john

I did work underground at vermilion grove as a worker and supervisor for 7 yrs. until mine closing in May 2009. I also worked at the Murdock mine east of Tuscola, Ill. for 13 yrs. underground. Although we did find fossil plants in the roof at both locations. I will say vermilion grove was unique in amounts and type found. When I say "roof" I'm speaking of the surface above the coal seam. I have never heard it reffered to as the back. The fed. and state law books also reffer this area as the roof. Roof or Top, Ribs and Floor as long as it don't fall on you and everything gets rock dusted, everybody is sometimes HAPPY.

Very interesting, enjoyable article.
BTW it sounds like an ideal location for a days- or weeks-long expedition: set-up a base camp/equipment depot and work from there. If the site is so unique it might be worth the effort.

I really hope you will continue to deliver updates on this fossil wonderland. My family and I live in the nearby community of Danville, IL and this is the most information we have seen to date. I would like to think and hope that this spectacular find will have a little more spotlight in the future.

It is very interesting. I might like a sidebar explaining the increase in CO2 levels. Could it have been from ancient volcanoes?
Posted by Keith Wellman on July 16,2009 | 07:17 PM
Please tell Mr. Gugliotta that mine shafts don't have ceilings. Mine shafts are vertical. Mine tunnels and adits have ceilings, but in mine terminology the ceiling of a tunnel is the "back" and the walls are "ribs."
Also, I wonder why Mr. Gugliotta wrote "trunks up to 6 feet in circumference..." That's hard to visualize. Why not say trunks almost 2 feet in diameter?
Finally, Mr Gugliotta writes that the period just after the fossilization was "a period of great, and puzzling change." At the end of the Carboniferous Period, the planet was in an ice age. The "puzzling change" was probably due to cycling of glacial epochs and interglacial periods. The ice age ended about 250 million years ago. The warming oceans lost carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.

This is a fabulous discovery! I hope steps will be taken to preserve it and allow further research.

Great story. Really held my kid's interest, but we had to go to other sites to see pictures of the various fossils that were mentioned in the article.
It seems there's never enough pictures, charts, grafts, etc. to help young minds get a better grasp on the overall event(s) that took place and to highlight the whole story.

From the 5 January 2012 New York TImes: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/08/books/review/a-more-perfect-heaven-how-copernicus-revolutionized-the-cosmos-by-dava-sobel-book-review.html?nl=books&emc=booksupdateema3.

A More Perfect Heaven: How Copernicus Revolutionized the Cosmos

From the review:
"Theater turns out to be a good medium for probing the scientific controversies as well. Though contemporary hit plays like "Copenhagen" and "Photograph 51" have revived the genre, science drama traces its roots back at least to Galileo, who took up Copernicus's cause by writing dramatic dialogues. Galileo wrote dialogues for a simple reason: If you want to know how to analyze ideas and weigh evidence and refute objections — in short, how to persuade — then for most people dramatizations are superior to scientific papers."

I got my bongos as an unexpected Christmas present last year, and they are great! They are durable, easy to play, and they are also built out of very sturdy wood. :) They also keep me entertained whenever I need something to do, or when I am trying to use different instruments to create different types of songs.

Newton manufacturers give input to legislators about skilled worker shortage
Iowa ranks fifth out of the 50 states in manufacturing as a percentage of its gross domestic product. But, as more baby boomers prepare to retire and leave the workforce, Iowa's strong manufacturing sector could be in danger.
"We have a skilled labor shortage," Iowa Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal told a group of more than two dozen Newton manufacturing executives and community leaders during a town hall meeting Thursday afternoon at the Newton Development Corporation office.
"I'm sick of hearing about it. I want to know what we can do about it," he added. "I want to see what the Legislature can do to expand the training available in Iowa, but I want to hear what those gaps are from you."

Part of Highway 1, just south of Big Sur, will be open for the weekend.
Cal Trans says the highway will be open to two-way traffic near Partington Ridge Road beginning Friday at 5 p.m.
The highway has been closed in that area since a major rock slide on Dec. 23.
Emergency crews will begin work Monday at 7 a.m. to repair the 60-foot section of the road and stabilize the slide area.
During the daytime work, they say the road will only be open to one-way traffic and motorists should expect 20-minute delays.
Crews will continue working through Friday, although no work will be done on New Year's Day.

THE MAROON Volume XIII LOYOLA UNIVERSITY, NEW ORLEANS, LA., DECEMBER 21, 1934 No. 12 SUSPEND ACTIVITIES FOR HOLIDAYS "Doc" Erskine Resigns As Loyola Head Coach ATHLETIC COUNCIL ACCEPTS RESIGNATION WITH REGRET Father Roy Stresses That Council Did Not Seek Resignation; Letter of Appreciation Sent Head coach Robert H. (Doc) Erskine resigned his position as Loyola grid mentor at a meeting of the athletic council Tuesday night, Rev. P. A. Roy, S.J., faculty chairman of athletics, announced. Father Roy stressed the fact that the resignation was not sought by the council. It will become effective immediately he stated. The athletic council of the university, convinced that further negotiations would be futile, accepted Erskine's resignation, which according to Father Roy, was received with sincere regret. A letter was immediately dictated by the council to Coach Erskine expressing their appreciation of his loyalty and devotion to the university and of all that he has accomplished as head coach during the past two years. At the time of this writing, Coach Erskine could not be gotten in touch with and his plans for the coming year could not be ascertained. It is certain that lie will THREE DEPARTMENTS BEGIN VACATION THIS AFTERNOON Law, Dentistry, and Music Colleges Off At 5 O'Clock; Arts, Pharmacy Closed. Campus activities will be suspended until after New Year's day as three of the five major departments of the university begin their Christmas holidays this afternoon at 5 o'clock. The arts and science department began its holiday season yesterday at 5 p. m. following an announcement by Rev. James A. Greely, S. J., dean, last Fridayf at the sophomore-freshman Hausmann trophy debate. The college of pharmacy also began its holidays yesterday at 5 p. m. according to an announcement by Dean John F. Mc Closkey. The colleges of dentistry, law, and music discontinue classes at 5 o'clock this evening. The Saturday extension courses close tomorrow at 12 noon, and the night department begins its Christmas holidays tonight after the nine o'clock lectures. According to the scheduled announcement, all classes in all departments and colleges will be resumed on January 3 at 8 a. m. Many of the out-of-town students are preparing to leave the city for Resume Debates After Holidays With only two remaining debates before the varsity team is selected, the Edward Douglas White society will resume its elimination series after the Christmas holidays, Stephen B. Rodi, president, announced. Milton McGovern and Robert Francioni will present the affirmative of the question: "Resolved— That the air mail lines should be subsidized by the federal government," In the first debate of the new year on January 7 in Marquette auditorium. The negative will be defended by Gilbert Durand and Carroll Montet. Winter Trapolin is to act as critic. Action on the informal suppers voted upon by the members has been deferred until after the holidays because of the rush of scholastic and social activity in the remaining school days of 1934. A series of these functions will be conducted to allow the members to obtain some practice in after dinner speaking. Included in the program of the last meeting was a comic debate for the entertainment of the society. Four of the wittiest members discussed a comic question. The names of the debaters and the terms of the question were not issued for publication. Council Minute Book As Permanent Record Obtaining a minute book from the university, the student council will keep a permanent record of all meetings for reference in future years, Charles Bailey, president of the council, announced. Mildred Cazenavette, Louise de Tarnowsky and Florence Chauvin, ■representatives from the college of music, have been appointed to Inscribe all the available minutes of former years, some of which date back to 1926. Lawrence Baust, secretary, will take charge of the minute book for this year.

The charter of the local chapter has been placed in a special frame made in the shape of the Blue Key emblem, it was announced. It will hang in the president's office. Seniors, Juniors Planning Affairs The junior and senior classes will take definite steps the first week after the holidays to forward plans for the ball and prom, presidents of the respective classes announced yesterday. Members of the senior class will be accosted after their return to school to sign a pledge of $3.00 for the function which is set for the latter part of April, Charles Bailey, president, declared. Depending on the response of the class, plans will procede in regard to a hall and orchestra. If there is enough cooperation from the seniors, it is possible that an outof-town band will be brought here for the affair, Bailey stated.

Dressed neatly in a dark blue suit, white shirt and black-and-white tie, there was nothing'until he spoke, to reveal that he was the famous Metropolitan Opera Company baritone, John Charles Thomas. His decision to become a singer was a hard one to make, for he was torn between two loves, music and medicine, but he makes light of it. "I tossed a nickel up; heads for music and tails for medicine. Heads turned up, so I started singing for an operatic career", he said, with a twinkle in his eyes and a careless gesture. Mr. Thomas came to New Orleans to appear in a concert sponsored by Benedict M. Grunewald, local impresario, at the Municipal Autorium, Saturday night. He was accompanied here by Carroll Hollister, piano accompanist, and Chas. L. Wagner, his manager. His main interest is in his career and his home, but he's also interested in yachting, fishing, driving and, "When I'm in New Orleans, I'm interested in what the people down here think of Huey Long" he said with an amused glance at the interviewer.

Fr. Burke Stresses Developing Of Will Considering the necessity of the development of the child's will as well as the development of the child's mental powers, the Rev. Martin Burke, S. J" head of the department of philosophy, closed his forum discussions of "The Philosophy of Education" Sunday at 7:45 p. m. and broadcast over the university station WWW. "The child equipped with the objective truth gotten at through his mental powers needs further a training of his will for the proper interpretation and action", Father Burke declared. The choice of education for the child, he also asserted, resides not in the state but in the family. "People who raise their hands in horror at any suggestion of state control of industry will turn around and demand complete state control of education", B'ather Burke said. La.wrence F. Babst, president of Blue Key, introduced Father Burke. The symphonic ensemble under the direction of Dr. Ernest E. Schuyten rendered classical selections as part of the program. Sophomore Shovels Coal, Stows A way to See World Dodging ship's officers as a stowaway to New York and shovelling coal for five months have satisfied Jack Fitzgerald's yen to travel and see the world. Fitzgerald, a mjodeet-loioking, blond sophomore in the college of arts and sciences, took a trip two years ago which made him happy to see home "Because I wrs tired of school and desired to see a little of this earth," Fitzgerald related, "I left school one day I ent Home, and telling nobody buf mj mother, I went down to the docks." With only four d.Mlars in his pockets, and no baggage, Jack went down to the foot of Cajial street and boarded the steamship "Dixie" sailing for New York. He mingled with the crowds for a while, planning what he was going to do without fare for the voyage"Soon I met a friendly sailor," Fitzgerald said, "who told me that I could stowaway in safety. It would set a record, he told me, if anyone was ever caught on the 'Dixie'." "He took me down to the sailor quarters when the boat pulled out to arrange a hiding place. He directed me to an unused thirdclass cabin, and told me to wait." But a steward came prowling Congratulations Mark Student Assembly Fathers Hynes and Greeley Note Spirit; Finish Frosh Rules Christmas greetings and congratulatory remarks from Rev. John W. Hynes, S. J., president of the university, were the highlights of a student body convocation Wednesday morning in Holy Name auditorium. "I want to take this opportunity to wish the students in the most superlative of tones, the best hopes for a happy Christmas," Father Hynes said. He also congratulated the students on. the spirit that they have shown during the past year, adding that it was a stimulus to him in the arduous duties of the university's administration. "I wish to congratulate you upon your loyalty, your fighting spirit, and your reasonableness in the past year," Father Hynes said, "and I hope that it will increase." The convocation also marked the end of the sophomore rule over the freshmen. An impressive ceremony with the two class presidents, Irvin Timmreck and Edwin Toribio, of the sophomores and freshmen, respectively, marked the SOPHS TIE TROPHY RACE WITH DEBATE The sophomore class represented by John McCann and Robert Pascal won a 2 to 1 decision of the judges in the annual Ha.usmann Trophy debate last week with the freshmen to even the score this year. The sophomores won over A. J. O'Donnell and Robert Morrow, who argued the negative of the proposition, "Resolved, That pomplete medical service should be made available at public expense." Judges were Dr. Richard D. Doyle, Dr. John V. Connor, and Prof. Anthony Papale. Charles Bailey, president of the student council, acted as chairman. The next interclass tourney, a basketball game, will be held in the latter part of January, Bailey announced. Spanish Group Starts Season The comedy-riot "Basta de Suegros" by D. Eduardo Lustano, which was presented by the Spanish club Saturday night in Marquette auditorium, opened the play season on the local campus. Venancio Garcia, who carried the male lead, gave an outstanding performance as the father-in-law, and Elsa Diaz of Ursuline college matched his acting ability in the role of Dona Marquita, the motherin-law.Bertin Brosse, senior, who has carried major roles in Spanish plays for four years and has been active in intra.-society debates, gave an excellent impersonation of Federico, the husband. Carmen Allemagne portrayed the part of the wife. Samuel Mc Neely, who took the part of "Fortunato" in last year's production of the same name, came through with his usual fine bit of acting in the role of Federieo's friend. Tulina Santiago, of Ursuline college, gave the recitation "La Pandereta" by Pedro Matas. The program of Spanish music was played by students of the college of music. Joseph Abraham, Jr., Loyola alumnus, directed the play and was assisted by Miss Elena Ortiz Monasterio.

We're working with you to make a positive impact around the world in more than 35 countries, all 50 United States and your backyard. Support our work
The Conservancy has been working to restore the Gulf of Mexico since long before the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill brought it to the world's attention in such a tragic way. Though the oil has stopped flowing, the story in the Gulf of Mexico is far from over.
As we mark the second anniversary of the spill, it is important to note that the Gulf still faces many challenges beyond cleaning up the oil. After decades of damage, large-scale restoration is needed to rebuild the marshes, seagrasses, oyster beds, coastal forests and barrier islands that are the foundation of all life in the Gulf of Mexico and basis for the economic engine that contributes to the nation's economy.
To help meet this need and show that restoration is both necessary and possible, the Conservancy spent the last two years—with the help and support of our donors and partners—expanding and accelerating our work to protect and restore the ecological and economic infrastructure of the Gulf. We are committed to long-term restoration. Our more than 35 years of experience here provides us with the tools and information to get started, but it will take the efforts of many people—from non-profits, to businesses, to communities and governments—to return the Gulf to health.

A man stands amidst the debris of a destroyed home in Cacahuatepec, on the outskirts of Acapulco, on Saturday.
Emergency crews in Mexico continued to search for victims of Hurricanes Manuel and Ingrid on Sunday after the death toll from the storms that battered the coast of Mexico this week rose to at least 110.
There are scores of people missing and feared dead in towns around Acapulco Mexico, while the famed resort was mostly spared the worst of the flooding after tropical storms. NBC's Mark Potter reports.
The twin storms unleashed torrential rain that led to floods and mudslides starting last Sunday. More than 1 million people have been affected across the country, and 50,000 have been evacuated from their homes.
The official death toll was increased to 101 at a news conference late Friday, but that number did not include crew members aboard a Federal Police helicopter that disappeared Thursday while aiding rescue efforts in La Pintada, in the state of Guerrero, Mexico.
At least three crew members aboard the aircraft were found dead, a Mexican government spokesman said on Saturday, according to The Associated Press. On Sunday two more, likely rescue workers, were reported dead in the incident.
Sixty-eight residents of La Pintada remained missing after a massive landslide, authorities said.
On Sunday, Mexico President Enrique Pena Nieto said the death toll was at "110 or 115." He said Mexico's Congress would revise its budget in response to the storm.
Nieto called for a quick state-by-state evaluation of damage to be overseen by the country's interior minister that "will allow us to add resources beyond those already budgeted for contingency and disaster funds to rebuild infrastructure that has sadly been lost."
In the state of Guerrero alone, more than 22,000 homes have sustained damage in 59 principalities, Guerrero State Governor Ángel Aguirre Rivero said according to Mexican newspaper El Sol de Acapulco. The extent of the damage in the region has left more than 20,000 people in shelters.
Reuters contributed to this report.

I am a new reader and love your blog. I haven't read all of the posts, but fully intend to. I just had a thought. Have you ever blogged about finishing your toddlers food or drinks? The backwash, the unknowns, the battle with your husband about who gets to finish the kids plates as the meal was so good? Just a thought as I am sure you have had some funny experiences around this topic!
keep up the fun, we all need the laughs! Allison -
Recently subscribed to your blog (and I don't do blogs….so that's something) and just wanted to say thank you for all the giggles. I've really enjoyed reading your stories and the crappy pictures are just brilliant. My husband and I just had our first child 6 months ago and we're already imagining what it will be like to juggle two kids! I also wanted to say "Bravo" to your reply (in FAQs) to those easily offended people who think a parenting blog is a children's storybook just because there are pictures. Keep the swears!! They're some of the most honest things you can write I think because c'mon, if you're not dropping the occasional f-bomb when your baby kicks shit all over the place, you're just not fully clued into how gross poo-flinging really is. Thanks again and I look forward to reading many more poorly-illustrated bits of wisdom experience!
OMG, finally someone who has the exact same sense of humor as I do, only you write the blog and I get to read it. Thank you for writing something so hilarious that I get to pee myself over and over (cuz I had a baby).
I would love to purchase one of your drawings.
i can think of several that i would love to send to
my daughter and others.
your mothers day one would be great framed in my daughters house. i could not see anywhere on your site where i could purchase. please let me know. thank you.
funny , darling site. -
Hi Amber, LOVE your blog. Hilarious. Can you fix the archives, please? When you click on "older posts" from the home page, the website jumps all the way back to the beginning of January. There does not seem to be a way to access posts from May, April, March, February (even via the archives by month). THANK YOU!!!!!
Just wanted to chime in to agree that your archives are broken, and have been for a while.
Just wanted to let you know that I shared your Target cartoon on my business facebook page today (www.facebook.com/fluffyourstuff) and over 100 people shared it. Apparently, we can relate!! Thanks for the laughs!
Really enjoy seeing the female parenting perspective through your hilarious eyes!
Keep up the crappy pictures .
Seriously. You are the best part of my day. After kissing my kids goodnight and wine. The best love it all.

Firing Squad
Or is it just another game nothing alike with sins
I don't think that it will compete with SoaSE since the armada site http://www.ntronium.com/Armada2526%20Home.html state that there is a turn based strategy map (which reminds me a lot of the map of MOO2). The single player mode could be more a threat for Galactic civilization 2.
It looks like some people are trying to a get another successor to Master of Orion 2
You know, I have never played that MoO2 (or the first...) and I wish I had. So many people talking so many good things about it. :/
To me it looks liek a cross between GalCiv2, Swords fo the Stars and SINS. I see key feture from all 3 game sinto that one game.
with alittle improved graphics this looks like nothing more then Rome: Total war IN SPPPAAACEEE!! !!
I think it quite original of them to give the players a choice of wether or not they want to be a Military Empire, A Intel Empire and so on. But I think we all know where people are going to focus. The Empire thats going to make the most explosions and crush the enemy.
I've never heard of this game, but it does look interesting. I'll keep an eye on it.
Interesting, i'm not really into turn based strategy, but i need to keep an eye on that one.
Yeah, its by the project leader for medieval2
I like the idea of total war in space but do not like the 2d dimension that the real time battles seem to be fought in.
Its just not spacey.
I would like sins to have this kind of detail though. Hopefully diplomacy will have it.
Yeah does look a little different, thanks for the info.
Looks interesting; I wanna be in the beta
LOL< I want to be int he beta of everything!
I applied for the beta, but Bob Smith said he's already got enough play-testers for the first round. However, it sounds as if I might be able to participate in the next beta in a couple weeks (I hope, I hope!)....
looks very promising and I'll keep following the development. I hope the AI will be good and that the space combat is not too much clicking. May the best fleet win and not the best mouse clicking admirals. When is the first demo due?
I too will be watching the out come of this game. It looks like it
might be fun to play ... If I have some free time I might sign up
for a beta spot ....
Well in the game's list of features, it's mentioned that the AI is being worked on by an expert in the field. Also, apparently it's been built into the game from the very beginning, which means that it can be updated to "take advantage of new game features as they are added, giving the developers the maximum time to polish its behavior".
As for the space battles (again quoting from the features list), "the emphasis is firmly on tactics and maneuvering formations, rather than frantic clicking on individual ships". Given that lead developer Bob Smith seems to be a big fan of the Total War games (which he also spent a decade helping create), I'm reasonably confident the game's space combat will be as it's described.
No date has been given yet. However, I would surmise it's likely going to be another few months, as while much of the game is already done, some key features have yet to be fully implemented. Most notably, the battle AI and higher-level empire AI haven't been added yet (although I believe it's being developed concurrent to the rest of the game; it's just not been integrated into the current build).
My personal guess would be sometime early next year, but don't quote me on that.
Sins is a VeryLite4X-RTS™, while Armada 2526 is a traditional (For the most part) 4X game. Persoanlly, I think we need more traditional 4X games.
Thanks Martok for the info. Would be nice if the developper would have a news page or a blog to keep up with the game's development.
I agree VarekRaith, there should be more traditional (rts) 4x games
if that AI expert is anything like total wars latest aI, that will be a joke.... then again its not really a 3D spatial game.
My guess would be this is going to be like Armada 2525 with some more depth and nicer graphics. The original came out a long time ago and was the first space 4x game I ever played. It was a fun game that came out before MOO. I remember playing it a lot but can't remember too many details as it was so long ago (1991). I'll definitely give it a try when it comes out. I really miss my 4x games.
What about Galciv2?
Wow, that game does look interesting. I hope there will be a "calculate outcome" option on the battles, battles just don't interest me. I guess I am getting old that way.
Any news if it will come on Impulse?
Whislt it does look interesting and I certainly have no objection the turn-based strategy gameplay it does look like another developer has sacrificed realism and graphical presentation in the hope gameplay alone will carry the game.
My credit card is ready for when we get a new space game which marries the two succesfully.
Looks like promising game
But don't think anything can touch Sins really... Not as yet anyway...
Same for me. Might be interesting to watch, but I don't like thinking about it too much. Just give me the strategic and diplomatic choices.
Well, it's not that I don't like battles, it's just I don't care much for taking controll of the units and pointing them to attack etc, like a typical RTS C&C style.
I guess that is why I am finding Gratuitous Space Battles to be pretty fun. Looking forward to what happens.
Sins of a Solar Empire is the only "close to RTS" game I enjoy playing, since the AI there is pretty good and I can just let them enter a battle and let them do their thing.
I sent off an email asking if the game is coming to Impulse. I hope so.
The game looks intesting enough i added the web page to fav's so i can follow up on it.
Thanks to the person sho started this thread for pointing out the game.
The game is not a threat to Sins but to my wallet!
I am looking forward to this game a lot. I just hope they include some kind of diplomatic win which is what i prefer in MOO 1 & 2. Unfortunately there's no forum yet.
PS: cheers Martok

The scale of the terrorist siege at Nairobi's Westgate Mall, which now appears to have finally ended after four days, may have been unprecedented. But the notion of shopping centers as tempting targets for terrorist attacks is hardly new.
A 2006 analysis from the Rand Corporation warned that, "in terms of their potential role as terrorist targets, shopping centers present numerous challenges for security." At the time, they reported that there had been over 60 terrorist attacks against shopping centers in 21 countries since 1998. There have been several reported international terrorist threats against malls in the United States over the years, though none have been carried out.
Obviously, any "soft target" where large crowds of people gather are going to be tempting for attackers. Malls "allow unimpeded access to the public and attract a wide cross-section of the nation's population," the Rand authors write. But they also suggest that the business model of malls makes the marginal cost of additional security measures extremely high and leads to most of them being relatively unprotected.
Shopping centers "differ markedly from facilities like airports, which provide an essential service with few alternatives," they write. "For this reason, shopping center customers and tenants may not tolerate the expense and inconvenience of increased security." There's also the fact that malls often have complex, multi-stakeholder ownership structures which "increases the difficulties of implementing security and other risk-reduction measures."
The authors say after a catastrophic attack, customers and businesses might become more tolerant of security measures like metal detectors, as they did with airports in the wake of 9/11. However, events have shown that even measures that the public wouldn't tolerate in most countries might not be enough to keep customers safe.
In the wake of a 2005 bombing outside the entrance to a shopping mall in Netanya, Israel in 2006, The New York Times noted that "Most shopping malls, stores, restaurants and other public buildings in Israel have guards and often metal detectors at the entrances," but unfortunately, "the checks also create lines, which sometimes become targets."
Again, the Nairobi attack was a unique case. The Westgate mall is a potent symbol of Kenya's rising middle class - in stark contrast to neighboring Somalia - and also attracts an international clientele. But it's definitely the first time such a place has been targeted, and assuming most countries aren't willing to turn malls into fortresses, it's probably not a threat that's going away.

I was just wondering how far everyone has gotten as far as technology in the demo.
Playing online with my friend, we were able to reach FLIGHT using the Great University wonder.
Without that wonder, we still managed to get Railroad, Steam Power, Printing Press, a few others, I forget.
(This is with sharing technologies, though it didn't seem to make THAT much of a difference because I got Railroad on my own, and almost Steel.)
I played Egyptians, he plays Romans.
I feel like we are the first, if not two of the few who managed to reach this column of technology. As it clearly says "Buy the full game to gain access to this technology."
I read a while ago someone gave a challenge to the forums for the demo to reach the column with Metallurgy and whatever else in it, and I'd like to say to that person "you've been trumped."
I know that this also involve a good deal of luck with great people, etc. But it's very do-able. As I said, I reached Railroad by myself as Egyptians, he also accomplished this solo as Romans.
I had about 5 or 6 cities when I reached Railroad solo and almost Steel, I was producing around 183 science per turn.
Just wanted to know if anyone else has gotten this far, farther, or what.
I think the fact that we reached Flight is pretty significant.

Goal Accomplished!!!! - Stacia Naquin
Updated: 12/12/2013 - I finally did my pull up!!! It was a New Year's Resolution that took me ALL YEAR! But I did it.
Authorities say someone is trying to capitalize on a missing boy case in Durango and scam people out of money by sending messages via Facebook demanding ransom money.
Police say a person is falsely claiming to be a new resident of the area and is asking for $1,000 for a photo of Dylan Redwine and another $4,000 for the 13-year-old boy's release.
A task force comprised of the sheriff's office, FBI and other law enforcement agencies is conducting a criminal investigation into Dylan's Nov. 19 disappearance from this father's Vallecito home near Durango.
Authorities have released few details but say they do not believe that Dylan ran away.
About 300 people searched the area on Saturday and found some clues that were collected for future reference.

Fine arts grant applications available
PERU — "Fall is the time for schools, libraries, museums and other community groups in the Tri-County area to apply for a grant to fund 2012 fine arts programs," according to Robert Willmot, executive director of the Illinois Valley Fine Arts Trust.
IVFAT will award several thousand dollars in grants for fine arts programs in January 2012. Grants typically range from $200 to $500 to cover the total or partial costs. IVFAT-supported music, art and theater programs must be scheduled after January 2012 and be completed by Dec. 31, 2012.
The Illinois Arts Council funds the trust's community organization grants. The council receives support from the National Endowment for the Arts, but it also depends on the state of Illinois for major support.

text: Home Politics How North Carolina Became Red Again The Tar Heel State's move to the political left has ended as quickly as it started. Here are five reasons. By: Corey Dade Posted: July 30 2013 12:08 AM 0 Voters in North Carolina get instructions during early voting in October 2012. (Sara D. Davis/Getty Images) (The Root) -- One might shrug off the sweeping voting restrictions (pdf) approved last week in North Carolina as typical of a Southern state under Republican control. But look again: Unlike many of its neighbors, the Tar Heel State had been well down the path of progressivism for several years before the GOP shut it down during this year's legislative session. Indeed, North Carolina had broken away from its regional neighbors by expanding access to the polls, which helped increase minority-voter turnout. A strong and steady flow of newcomers to the state brought more open-minded political views to bear on local elections. The state even recorded one of the nation's biggest populations of gay couples, with a whopping 118 percent gain reported in the 2010 census. Some of the changes were occurring elsewhere in the South, but not to the degree of shifting the voting patterns of an entire state. In North Carolina, however, the lurch toward progressive politics has ended as quickly as it started, demonstrated by the state Legislature's passage of a conservative wish list that includes a draconian voter-ID requirement and the elimination or reduction of measures such as early voting. How did it happen? Here are five key factors that triggered the GOP backlash: 1. A state of change: A state made up mostly of native-born whites and blacks, and with a shrinking population, became a hot destination for people of all kinds, from outside the South and even the United States. Many of them brought more-moderate opinions to North Carolina's right-of-center politics. From 2000 to 2010, North Carolina had the fifth-highest population growth (pdf) of any state, adding 1.5 million people. Along the way, the share of minorities rose by 5 percentage points to 35 percent. The Hispanic population soared by 111 percent, or more than 420,000, to 800,120. Later in the decade, North Carolina was the second-most-popular destination for people relocating from other states, particularly New York and elsewhere outside the South. Family dynamics changed, too, which helped nudge the political needle to the left. Unmarried couples living together increased by 55 percent to more than 222,000. The state recorded one of the biggest increases in the number of gay couples. Homeowners living alone topped 1 million, up from 8.6 percent to 27 percent of all homeowners. And those who have never been married grew to nearly a third of the population. 2. Early voting: The South has traditionally resisted efforts to expand access to the polls, but North Carolina in 2007 became the first Southern state to enact early voting. In 2008 a surprising 55 percent of all ballots were cast at early-voting sites, with black women making up the largest share of early voters. In 2012, 56 percent of all voters voted early. 3. The Obama effect: It wasn't just that Barack Obama became the first Democratic presidential candidate to win the state since 1976. It's that his candidacy spurred a convergence of ongoing demographic changes to shift partisan and gender politics. Blacks (a record 72 percent) for the first time voted at a higher rate than whites (69 percent). Women also had a higher turnout rate than men and voted in greater numbers. Voters elected the state's first female governor, Democrat Beverly Perdue, and a record 44 women to the state Legislature. Another successful campaign was Kay Hagan's, who defeated incumbent Sen. Elizabeth Dole to break the Republicans' 35-year grip on a seat previously held by segregationist Jesse Helms. 4. The Tea Party wave: The 2010 midterm elections were an anti-government conservative reaction to 2008, giving Republicans control not only of the U.S. House of Representatives but also of a majority of state legislatures, including North Carolina's. Republican voters in the state turned out at 51 percent, Democrats dropped to 45 percent and independents voted at 33 percent. White voters turned out at a higher rate than blacks, although black voting in the past few North Carolina midterm cycles has risen faster than that of whites.

Like many smaller designers, Pinto found herself vulnerable to the recession which had many of her clients buying less clothing or switching to less expensive options. Her line appeared in luxury department stores which have also been having hard times, scaling back both the range of goods they purchase and the amounts. Maria Pinto remains optimistic that she will be able to regroup and that her namesake brand will not disappear permanently but is just taking a break to retool.

Add it up and while 2012 may not set a record pace, there's no doubt it's above average - way above average. For the week ending May 4, more than 71% of the corn has been planted in the states representing 92% of all 2011 corn acreage. Planting in Iowa has slowed, from the dramatic pace just the week before, yet still remains above average with 64% in the ground. Illinois and Indiana are making significant progress too.
Across the board the key corn states are beating their five-year averages, but for some the pace is slower. For example, Wisconsin is 34% planted versus a 30% five-year average. For the 18 key corn states, 71% is planted versus a five-year average of 47% by this time. Unseasonably warm weather has had planters rolling hard for three weeks.
Soybeans are in the planters now too as acreage of the oilseed starts to rise. Mississippi leads with 74% of its soybean crop in the ground, but Louisiana isn't far behind at 62%. Indiana is a top Midwestern soybean producer making quick work of planting this year with nearly half its soybeans in the ground already, nearly five times the five-year average.
And about 7% of the soybean crop has already emerged, which is more than twice as fast as average. Those warmer Southern states are setting the pace for emergence.
For cotton, about 36% of the acreage is planted, running ahead of the 28% five-year average. California, Arkansas and Arizona are all leading the way with seed in the ground. North Carolina is the only state that's statistically close to the five year average, every other cotton producing state is running ahead of the five-year average.
As for peanuts, the pace is about double the average as Florida, Georgia, Alabama and Oklahoma are all pushing their planting pace. For the eight key peanut producing states, USDA is reporting 30% of the crop is in the ground versus 14% on average.
Winter wheat is heading out ahead of schedule too, which has caused some worries with wet and cold weather hitting the crop. On average 63% of the crop is headed, nearly double the normal rate. Kansas leads the way, and after last week's wheat tour, where the state saw a potential 46% increase in wheat output, 92% of the crop is heading. Already, combines are rolling in south Texas into Oklahoma, one of the earliest harvest years in recent memory.
Spring wheat planting hit 84% in the last week with South Dakota reporting completion with Minnesota right behind. And for that crop, 47% has emerged.
Rice planting and emergence are running ahead of schedule too with 77% planted and 67% of the crop emerged.
And sugarbeet planters have been rolling full out - even North Dakota has 96% of its crop planted by last Friday. Michigan beats that reporting 100% planted.

Taxicab Blues
There are times when I have to take a taxicab: whenever I'm going to and from McCarran, visiting any local bars I can't access by foot or bicycle, and whenever I'm picking up my red Lada hatchback from Oleg the mechanic, whose handwritten invoices rival Ulysses in page count and in my difficulty to parse them. So I take cabs, which has been a largely pleasant experience so far; I haven't had to deal with too many surly drivers, and I've yet to be long-hauled.

The World in 2050
Four Forces Shaping Civilization's Northern Future
Laurence C. Smith - Author
"The World in 2050 is a compelling portrait of the future and vividly relates the big challenges facing the world now." The world's population is exploding, wild species are vanishing, and our environment is degrading. What kind of world are we leaving for our children and grandchildren? Just who will flourish-and who will fail-in our evolving world? Combining the lessons of geography and history with state-of-the-art model projections and analytical data, Guggenheim fellow Laurence C. Smith predicts how the eight nations of the Arctic Rim (including the United States) will become increasingly powerful while the nations around the equator struggle for survival. Like Bjorn Lomborg's The Skeptical Environmentalist, The World in 2050 is as credible as it is controversial, projecting the looming benefits as well as the problems of climate change. Prologue Flying into Fort McMurray Chapter 1 Martell's Hairy Prize PART ONE: THE PUSH Chapter 2 A Tail of Teeming Cities Chapter 3 Iron, Oil, and Wind Chapter 4California Browning, Shanghai Drowning PART TWO: THE PULL Chapter 5 Two Weddings and a Computer Model Chapter 6 One if by Land, Two if by Sea Chapter 7 The Third Wave Chapter 8 Good-bye Harpoon, Hello Briefcase PART THREE: ALTERNATE ENDINGS Chapter 9 The Pentagon Report Chapter 10 The New North Notes Credits Acknowledgments Index "[The World in 2050] is a lively and impressive book, among the first in what promises to be an important publishing category, the explication of how the human landscape will be altered by artificially triggered climate change."-Wall Street Journal "Smith's planetary palm-reading would be impressive enough, but he also managed to pull it off with literary gusto. He combines a wide-angle-lens analysis reminiscent of Jared Diamond with a knack for narrative, including tales of numerous visits to the Arctic." -New Scientist "Cleverly executed." -Mother Jones "One of the most head-turning books I've ever come across recently." -Thomas PM Barnett, World Politics Review "A charismatic rising star vividly relates the big challenges facing the world." -Jared Diamond, author of the Pulitzer Prize winner Guns, Germs, and Steel and Collapse "This is a blockbuster of clear argument, sophisticated use of multiple empirical sources, and cogent writing that makes a convincing case for the emergence of the deep Global North as the main beneficiary of emerging climatic and economic trends. Intelligently discussing the future requires exactly the balance of discerning empirical analysis and wise interpretive judgment to be found here." -John Agnew, Professor of Geography UC, Los Angeles |

Jack Johns is the 2010 British Bodyboarding champion |
Tuesday, 05 October 2010 10:29 |
October 2nd 2010 will go down as one of the greatest day's competition in British Bodyboarding history. The forecast for days had been good; the reality on the morning of the Nationals competition and the fourth and final round of the Auto-Sleepers British Bodyboard Tour was simply epic. The offshore wind blew down the Porthtowan valley, chilling the assembly of competitors before heading out to sea grooming the six foot plus bombs that were unloading on the banks outside. First in the water was the Open division. Huge ARS', tweaked inverts and perfect reverses set the tone for the event. Early standouts included Portreath ripper Tim Brown who after a couple of years out of competition looked hungry for glory. Another rider back on the contest scene was Ali Daniels whose fast reverses and a sick after the hooter, backflip had the regulars worried. Day one also saw the semi finals of the seniors, the under 16s and under 18s and the drop knee divisions in the water. Again the standard was high but the under 16s in particular showed the future of the sport is in great shape as they committed to heavy sections landing some lofty rolls, watch out you open division riders, the new kids are coming! The day was completed with the quarter finals of the Open division. Once again Brown looked good taking another first place in his heat but showing equal form was local hotshot Damian Prisk and tour contender Jack Johns. The other contenders for the tour title fell by the wayside in the quarters which meant it was a two horse race, Jack Johns or current tour leader, Remi Geffroy. Day two was different, the swell was still there and so was the wind but now it was a straight northerly, straight onshore and the big clean faces were now at best "tough" but in all honesty, it looked plain nasty! First to take on the punishing conditions was the Masters division, sponsored by Collection House Ltd. With two out of the four riders coming from Jersey, the trophy looked like it could be heading for the islands. It sounds odd but the honourable mention of the heat has to go to Colin Crowther who endured a full 35 minutes of paddling as set after set landed on the pint sized Jersey man but he didn't give up, good effort! The title was really only between Pete Bolam and Simon Watkins. Both struggled to find a section that didn't threaten life and limb but it was Bolam's longer rides and controlled spins that eventually saw him take the title back to Bristol. Colin managed to snag one good ride just before the hooter to finish 3rd and edge Wales' Jono Sharp back into 4th. The conditions were still big when the Beach Hotel Porthtowan under 16 division took to the water, but once again they showed they will be contenders in the open division in a year or two's time. This clash of the south coast titans featured a number of big rolls which impressed the judges. In the end, it was the speed and power of 15 year old Harry Smith's riding that helped him beat Lloyd Atherton into second place. The next final was Found Boards sponsored Seniors division. Four stalwarts of the British bodyboarding contest scene went for it with Chris Bray making his mark early in the heat with a tight spin in the pocket finished with a projecto roll. Barber responded with a similar wave but threw in a tight reverse to lead the heat. Prisk gambled and sat to the right of the other riders and it almost paid off but a second solid ride from Barber saw him pip his rival to the post and another shiny trophy to add to the cabinet was confirmed. The penultimate final of the day was the under 18 division sponsored by NMD Boards. If ever there was a perfect start to a heat, this was it. With barely 30 seconds on the clock, the increasing force that is Steve Hall took off; bottom turned into a sweet forward spin, headed down the line and tweaked possibly the best invert of the event! Hall posted a second solid score soon after that making it a competition for second place. South coasters Atherton and Smith went for it with Callum Morse getting in the thick of the action. After being beaten by his rival in the under 16s, Atherton took it on and with a couple of big rolls posted the scores he needed to beat Smith to second place. The final final of the day was a proper nail biter. Jack Johns needed to finish in first or second place to beat Remi Geffroy (who had narrowly lost out in his semi) to the Auto Sleepers Group national title. The trouble was he needed to beat Prisk, Daniels and Speller first. In the semi final, island lad Dave Speller had beaten Johns and, Prisk and Daniels were literally flying through their heats, game on! Remi could barely watch as Jack opened his account with a solid invert off a bowling right hander. Prisk responded with a text book reverse and barely one point separated the two. Daniels and Speller never quite found the form they had in the earlier rounds so it was looking like a showdown between Johns and Prisk. Both riders sat patiently and eventually backed up their early waves with similar rides but it was the slightly larger wave choice from Johns that allowed him to boost bigger and faster than the rest of the pack. With the tabulation done, the final order was revealed, Daniels in fourth, Speller in third, Prisk in second and to a huge cheer, Jack Johns was announced at the 2010 British Bodyboard Club National champion and winner of the 2010 Tour. The top three positions on the Tour were Damian Prisk in third, Remi Geffroy second and Jack Johns first. You can see the full leader board at www.britishbodyboardclub.co.uk Huge thanks must go to the BBC team for putting on a fantastic year of competition. Thanks must also go to the headline sponsors Auto Sleepers Group, without them the growth of British bodyboarding recent years simply couldn't have happened. Stay tuned for announcements of the 2011 tour and before then one more special competition!
