NCAA to Host 2006 Fall Sports Festival on November 15-19, in Pensacola, Florida
April 13, 2006
INDIANAPOLIS - On the heels of the success of its spring sports festival, the NCAA announced today that it will host its first ever fall sports festival for Division II student-athletes, November 15-19, 2006 in Pensacola, Florida.
The NCAA Division II Fall Sports Festival will feature 70 teams, which include more than 800 student-athletes vying for NCAA titles in men's and women's cross country, women's field hockey, women's volleyball and men's and women's soccer. The event, which is structured similar to an Olympic-type event, will be held over a period of five days in the same geographical location. Partnering with the NCAA on the Division II Fall Sports Festival are the University of West Florida and the Pensacola Sports Association.
"The Division II Fall Sports Festival is a wonderful opportunity for student-athletes to compete for an NCAA title, support peers in other sports, and enjoy a national championship atmosphere at the highest level," said NCAA senior vice-president for governance and membership Bernard Franklin.
"We had success two years ago in our spring sports festival based on comments from student-athletes and athletics administrators, and we anticipate having the same type of top quality championships and excitement for the fall sports festival. I also want to thank the University of West Florida, the Pensacola Sports Association and the many others who are working behind the scenes to make this experience special for NCAA Division II student-athletes," Franklin said.
The goal of the Fall Sports Festival is to enhance the student-athlete collegiate experience; to create more awareness and exposure for NCAA Division II sports; and to increase attendance by hosting multiple championships. The festival will feature opening and closing ceremonies, social opportunities for student-athletes, youth clinics and other community events, and a salute dinner for participating teams. Student-athletes will be housed in centrally located hotels, allowing for an athlete-village type atmosphere. The NCAA plans to conduct a championships festival once every four years to give each class of student-athletes the opportunity to participate.
The venues for the 2006 Division II Fall Sports Festival will be:
1 Men's and Women's Cross Country - Escambia County Equestrian Center 2 Women's Field Hockey - Brosnaham Soccer Complex 3 Women's Volleyball - University of West Florida Fieldhouse 4 Men's and Women's Soccer - Brosnaham Soccer Complex
"The University of West Florida Athletic Department is extremely proud to host the first ever NCAA Division II Fall Sports Festival," said Richard Berg, athletics director at the University of West Florida.
"Our university is very excited to work with the Pensacola Sports Association to make this an outstanding event and rewarding experience for the hundreds of student-athletes who will participate," Berg said.
"Pensacola is thrilled to host the Division II Fall Sports Festival," said Ray Palmer, executive director of the Pensacola Sports Association. "The opportunity to host the NCAA, regarded by many in the sports world as the premier sports organization in the United States, is a chance for the entire Pensacola community to show off our many assets to the NCAA, the participants and the fans." said Palmer
"The benefits of hosting this event are many, including the short-term economic impact and exposure to the long-term impact of return visitors, in addition to the hosting of additional NCAA events in the future," Palmer said.
The NCAA held its first sports festival in the spring of 2004 in Orlando, Florida for national championships in lacrosse, tennis, softball and golf. More than 84 percent of the student-athletes surveyed following the spring sports festival said they enjoyed the festival atmosphere more than individual championships. Additionally, over half of the student-athletes said they enjoyed the opportunity to attend other sport championships during the spring sports festival.

You might say that 11-year-old Maxim Lando first learned to love the piano even before he was born.
But North Middle School sixth grader Lando claims that it was just a little bit later on that he realized that he had a passion to play the instrument, even though his mother, Pippa Borisy, an accomplished pianist, and father, Vadim Lando, a classically trained clarinetist, were the owners of a music school before he arrived.
"He grew up here," said his mother, referring to the Great Neck Music Conservatory that she and her husband run. "He was sitting in on lessons from the time he was six-weeks-old. And I was teaching when I was expecting."
Regardless of when the exact moment occurred, the younger Lando said, "When I first heard the piano I absolutely fell in love with it … My parents had nothing to do with it."
Lessons began before he was four-years-old. "When he was about three-and-a-half," his mother explained, "I said to Meichun Bao, who was teaching here: 'He's here all the time. We need him to go do something. Do something with him.' They started off doing games and they formed such a bond. She's like a second mom to him."
Since then, Maxim has built a record of notable artistic accomplishments, including a solo recital near Toronto this August and an appearance in Armenia earlier this summer in which he played a piece for piano, clarinet and violin with his father. The previous summer he played in Italy. The Canadian performance was a highlight of his career, he says. "I'll never forget my recital there." He's already been invited back next year.
"They contacted us," said Borisy of the Canadian invitation. "Someone had referred them to Maxim's website (maximlando.com) and the director of the series called us. They invited us and we said 'sure.'"
While he's appeared on stage with father and his mother separately, the three have never done a performance together. "We have played family concerts, though," his mother said. She says it's hard to find something that is a piano duo with clarinet. "It's a goal," she admitted, "so we're just going to have to find something appropriate."
Several days ago he made a return appearance with the Jupiter Symphony Chamber Players at the Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church near Lincoln Center. He has been appearing with the group every year since he was six and is the only child ever selected to work with them.
Between school and practicing, Lando has very little spare time. He likes to play ping-pong and read but rarely watches television. "I do go on the Internet every day and listen to WQXR," he said. "There's this great site called 'Vimeo. ' It shows the most wonderful competitive videos of piano and violin (which he also plays). It shows you the different Tchaikovsky (piano) competitions. I watch Rachmaninoff, Prokofiev. I watch all the great concertos."
He's also working on a pilot video with local Great Neck ventriloquist Jonathan Geffner to educate young children about classical music.
Lando has great admiration for current pianists Evgeny Kissin and Martha Argerich in addition to the late Vladimir Horowitz. He also admires violinist Vadim Gluzman.
His original teacher, Bao, continues to work with Lando regularly but Lando's parents have made a commitment to bring him to Boston twice a month to study with the husband-wife team of Huang-Kuan Chen and Tema Blackstone at the New England Conservatory of Music.
Asked about his future career goals, he responded, "I will keep up with studying piano and continue performing in all of the things I'm doing now. I'd probably enter some sort of competition. I would continue playing concertos. I would just keep on practicing the piano."
Adds his mother, "What he wants to do eventually is play with a major orchestra."

The recent adoption the Common Core Learning Standards, a rigorous series of teacher and student assessment testing, and the potential sharing of confidential student information with third parties have resulted in a radical change in the educational landscape in New York State—one that many parents have been concerned about.
To address these growing concerns, the Great Neck School District's United Parent Teacher Council recently hosted a question and answer session at South High School with New York State Regent Roger Tilles, a Great Neck resident who has been outspoken with both his support of content the Common Core and his disapproval in how the new set of learning standards have been implemented.

At a meeting last week, after almost four hours of back and forth between Clover Drive residents, the attorney representing builder Frank Lalazarian's controversial Old Mill II project and members of the Village of Great Neck's Planning Board, there was very little progress, no vote taken and far more questions than answers.
The subdivision plan, a project under discussion for the last five years and recently approved by the village's Zoning Board of Appeals, calls for 11 houses to be built in the area behind the Old Mill Apartments, with sole access from Clover Drive. Complicating the builder's efforts to gain approval to start building is the fact that one of the lots is within the boundaries of Great Neck Estates and will require that village's approval also. Additionally, Lalazarian's project must gain the approval of several Nassau County agencies, including its department of public works, department of health and planning commission.

Great Neck's Ayal Hod is the proud coach of Great Neck's winning Top Gun sixth grade team in the Island Garden Fall League. Hod puts together the team every season, mixing local youngsters from Great Neck and children son Dillon's AAU Jamaica Queens team. The league is very competitive and challenging and it teaches the children many valuable lessons: "how to be great teammates by sharing the ball, how to compete hard on every possession and what you put in is what you get out."
Hod says that the main challenge is for every child to bring their individual talent to the team and collectively they have something special. an ex-player, he says that "basketball was very good to me, it helped pay my college education and it paid my-bills for many years to come via several basketball commercials ... basketball also opened many doors for me and it helped me tremendously in my business career."
Hod enjoys sharing his basketball journey background with his son and his friends and having them learn lessons too.

A former New Buffalo clerk was sentenced to five years of probation with the first 180 days in jail after being found guilty of embezzling more than $92,000 in city money on Monday.
Sandra White, 52, was found guilty of embezzlement by a Berrien County Trial Court in November of 2012. The maximum penalty for the charges is 15 years behind bars, but because White has no prior offenses, the judge said such an extensive sentencing was unwarranted.
According to the Herald Palladium, White denied stealing any money from the city during her terms as an office assistant, deputy clerk, and appointed clerk between 2003 and 2011.
The sentence also includes a restitution order of $110,858, in addition to court costs, that amount to a total fine of $113,407.

"With the budget that we have that was very good. They gave out free items today so that helped." says Jackson.
Superintendent Rosa Atkins says it was a community effort to get kids what they need for another year.

1. Wife Catches Collecting Fever
Today, I am a retired housewife and I would like to share my interest in stamps with other collectors' wives. I started collecting when I was 13 years old. I sent away to Pensupreme Ice Cream, which advertised a starter album and stamps. The only payment needed was in popsicle wrappers. I couldn't wait to get it. Finally it arrived and I had so much fun trying to figure out where the stamps went in the album. Unfortunately when I tried to get more money to buy additional cheap stamps, my father discouraged me. Since we were poor, he said it was a waste of money. One dollar would have bought a package of several thousand stamps, but since we were on a tight budget, I soon lost interest.
2. Printing Differences
Stamp collectors need to distinguish the different printing methods used to produce stamps. The words typography, lithography, engraved and photolithography meant nothing to me at first. Considering I was new at this, I was prepared for a long drawn out technical explanation of each, but to my surprise it was rather simple. In less than an hour I was identifying the major types of printing. Some were a little more difficult than others and I still make mistakes, but I'm getting better all the time.
3. Determining Paper Types
Trying to distinguish the different papers used in printing stamps can be a little tricky. Holding stamps up to the light and examining them from their white back is usually sufficient.
4. Colors And Shades
As a long time stamp collector, I still have difficulty identifying colors and particularly shades. I can just imagine how beginners feel when they try to identify a specific shade. The best way, of course, is to have the stamps expertized, but that can cost a lot of money, especially if you have lots of stamps with different shades.
5. Perforations
I've been getting requests from several ISWSC club members to go into more detail about perforations. I hope this explanation will satisfy most requests.
6. Buying Stamps
Now for a discussion about buying stamps. I'm sure everyone has their own favorite dealer, but I'd like to tell you about some of the ways that I buy stamps that work well for me.
7. Stamp Buying Tips
I'm going to let you in on one of my best secrets. If you are fortunate enough to live in or close to a large city, watch your newspaper for information regarding very old public buildings that are going to be demolished.
8. Stamp Pricing
As a long time worldwide stamp collector, I'd like to give you a few thoughts about the controversy and complaints about Scott catalog pricing.
9. The Hinging Craze
To hinge or not to hinge: that is the question. Many years ago when I started to collect stamps at age 10, I bought packets of stamps at the Five and Dime store. For a quarter you bought a whole envelope full of worldwide stamps. Stamps were off paper, some were mint, most used.
10. Choose The Album Best for You
In a recent issue of the ISWSC's newsletter, "The Circuit," Douglas Casey raised an interesting question. He was concerned that most commercial stamp albums were printed on both sides of the pages. Since other collectors may be faced with the same situation, I decided to write about ways to cope and give alternatives as well.

Further to the situation with the WordPress trademark that has caused such a public outcry, I have just read over on Cristian Mezei's Seopedia that Google is Banning users From Adsense for using their trademark.
I followed some of the links on Cristians page, and that isn't strictly true. What Google are actually doing is blocking Adsense adverts on domains or subdomains that contain their brandname.
Thanks for taking the time to review our policies and conditions. Please note that, while you may be permitted to run a site that contains Google Brand Features in part of the URL, you may not display AdSense ads on such a site. In this case, we feel that a URL such as googlesystem.blogspot.com may lead users to believe that your site is affiliated with Google. As such, we appreciate your understanding and cooperation in our decision to disable ad serving to the site.
That doesn't seem to be a total ban, you would still be able use Adsense on other properties.
But here is the good news
Google have reviewed the case, and have reinstated the displaying of Google Adverts.

AFI's Top 10 Movies of 2012
Yesterday the American Film Institute released its list of the top 10 movies of 2012. It's a bit pedestrian since the organization is obviously limited to American film.
- Argo
- Beasts of the Southern Wild
- The Dark Knight Rises
- Django Unchained
- Les Miserables
- Life of Pi
- Lincoln
- Moonrise Kingdom
- Silver Linings Playbook
- Zero Dark Thirty
Of the five I've seen (linked above), only two will probably make my top 10. Feel free to guess.
The surprise, of course, is "The Dark Knight Rises," which has all sorts of problems but did well at the box office. If it's box office they're after, why not "The Avengers," a better movie, which did better box office? Why not "Skyfall"? (Oh right, Brit.) Why not "Ice Age 3: Continental Drift"? (OK, now you're getting silly.) Why not "Chasing Ice"? Yeah, why not? Or doesn't AFI do docs? How about a "Ice Age 3"/"Chasing Ice" double feature?
For some reason, the year-end lists this year are depressing hell out of me. Maybe because there's no "Tree of Life" or "Un Prophete" or "Up" to choose from.

The OXO Tot Feeding Line offers a comprehensive group of products that grow with children to minimize frustration as they exert their independence and learn to self-feed. It includes sippy cups, plates and bowls, baby spoons, a self-feeding fork and spoon, and snack cups. A modular system, it is aesthetically pleasing and enables parents to reduce the clutter that comes with having kids.
Parents and kids alike desire a smooth transition from high chair to booster seat to big chair. This was OXO's goal in designing a new booster seat. The extensive user testing showed that some kids have trouble keeping their balance in standard booster seats and are prone to falling backward. The booster needed to be portable to accommodate today's on-the-go lifestyles. It also needed to fit in with any household environment.
The OXO Tot Sprout Chair is an extended-use chair that grows with a child, from 6 months to 5 years. The seat adjusts in height and depth, and the footrest is height adjustable. A depth-adjustable tray accommodates babies as they grow and can be removed so the chair can be pulled up to the table. For children over 3, the crotch post, tray and harness can be removed so kids can sit comfortably at the table.

Yes, this cake is made with beets! And you won't believe how great it is. I got the recipe from a friend who said it is the most requested cake in her family. Even the kids want it for their birthday cake. I baked it for one of our family gatherings and now, I get lots of requests for it too. The batter looks red, but the red bakes out. I use an almond flavored frosting on it sometimes. Other times I just serve it with homemade whipped cream.

Hoping to snap a four-game skid out West, the Phillies visit the brutal 47-74 Padres for the first of three at Petco Park. Jamie Moyer (10-7, 3.81) and Greg Maddux (6-8, 4.12) have the ball at 10:05 ET.
Best of the press notes: Things have gotten so bad that even the Phillies' pre-game press notes have taken on a somber tone by acknowledging the team's two-month-long offensive slump. According to the notes, in their last eight games, the Phils are hitting .202 (52-258) with five homers and 26 runs scored (3.25 R/G). Since scoring 20 runs on June 13, which has become the official marker for when all this started, the Phils have hit a combined .238 (419-1760) with 216 runs scored in 52 games, an average of 4.2 runs/game, which ranks 12th in that time frame among the 16 NL clubs.
Walking wounded: Greg Dobbs is nursing a strained left quadriceps that kept him out of yesterday's game. Shane Victorino, out with lower back stiffness, appears ready to return to the lineup tonight.

Jays' Happ aims for All-Star break return
Happ, a 30-year-old left-hander, suffered a fractured skull, contusions to the ear that needed eight stitches and sprained knee ligaments as the result of a wicked shot hit back to the mound by Tampa Bay's Desmond Jennings on May 7.
"I'm coming along and threw off a mound without a (knee) brace the other day and hope to do so tomorrow," Happ told ESPN. "I was in a brace for several weeks and am now moving, jogging and regaining athleticism. I began running again three or four days ago and I'm not quite there yet as far as cutting or turning."
Happ remains on the 60-day disabled list until July 7. When he went down with his injuries, Happ had a 2-2 record with a 4.91 ERA in seven starts.

Of course by now you'll know that Prada's Autumn/Winter 2012 collection was one of the highlights of next season. We loved everything about it from the crazy shoes, the beautiful flower studded doctors bags, the diamond patterned trouser suits, jumbo jewels and the two toned hair. Love love love.
And now Prada have released their latest short film/ad campaign, featuring models Anne Vyalitsyna, Elza Luijendijk, Iselin Steiro, Madison Headrick, Magdalena Frockwiak and Vanessa Axente locked in an intense game of arty chess and an even more intense fashion-off. Or as the luxury fashion house itself put it….
'Set in a virtual game-space, two powerful opponents face one another across a fantastical chess game.
The movement of each chess piece results in a parallel movement in an alternate reality.
As the game builds to a crescendo, each movement on the board has increasingly extraordinary repercussions'
Who wins? You decide...
(PS why can't THIS be a sport in the Olympics, hmm?)

Why Vampires Are Sooo Six Seasons Ago
True Blood's long awaited final season has arrived. Two episodes in and I'm very underwhelmed. I stuck with it through the witches, werewolves, and other supernatural beings, but for some reason, I'm relatively unexcited for its impending vampire apocalypse.

Wes Anderson's New Commercials As Quirky, Similar As his Movies
If you watched the Emmys on TiVo on Sunday night, you might've missed the premiere of quirky auteur Wes Anderson's new AT&T commercials. Like most of his films, Anderson's six ads are idiosyncratic, share basically the same premise, and differ only in specific details — but we like them anyway! Now we want an iPhone almost as bad as we want to see Anderson's upcoming The Darjeeling Limited. Our favorite ad is above and you can check out the other five after the jump.

Patent reform is a reality, as the Senate passed H.R. 1249 without amendment. The voting on the proposed amendments was close; passage of the overall bill was not.
Senate Action
Sen. Jeff Session's (R-AL) proposed amendment on retroactive patent term extension failed 51-47. Sen. Maria Cantwell's (D-WA) proposed amendment to strike the special business method reexamination procedure failed 85-13. Sen. Tom Coburn's (R-OK) proposed amendment to prohibit fee diverion failed 50-48; the Senate actually voted to table Sen. Coburn's amendment, thereby killing it.
Finally, the Senate passed the unmodified bill 89-9. Senators voting against the bill were: Barbara Boxer (D-CA), Maria Cantwell, Tom Coburn, Jim DeMint (R-SC), Ron Johnson (R-WI), Mike Lee (R-UT), John McCain (R-AZ), Claire McCaskill (D-MO), and Rand Paul (R-KY). The bill now proceeds to Pres. Obama for signature and enactment.
Effects of the Bill
The "effective date" of the bill will be the date it is signed by Pres. Obama and becomes law. Most effects of the bill have been covered in detail on this site and will not be felt for some time. These include the transition to first-to-file which takes place 18 months from the effective date (March 2013).
Some changes will take place sooner. The "micro entity" filing status for 75% reduced fees takes place immediately, while the 15% surcharge on PTO fees and the $4,800 fee for prioritized examination take place 10 days after enactment.
A complete copy of the bill as passed is here.

P7 Madrascals take a hit.
Madras travelled to Edinburgh for their annual Herriots tournament. One of the most difficult tournaments of the season and the boys had their heads down from the start.
First game was planned against Portabello but unfortunately Portabello were unable to attend the meet. Second game was against a well-disciplined Watsons. Watsons are known for their strong rucking and turnover techniques and this proved difficult for the boys to control. Watsons were hungry for a win and scored a try within the first few minutes. However a break through from Jackson Turtha gave madras the equaliser which brought it back to 1-1. After the good start things turned the other way with tackles not being made and the rucks were constantly getting turned over. Watsons No4 player gave them a lead of 3-1. In the second half Madras turned on their game to at least hold a strong Watsons team . Aaron Ramsay pulled us back to 3-2. Again Watsons drove fwd and pushed our boys all over the pitch smashing through to take the win. Final score 4-2.
Third game was against a team we had beaten a week previously after suffering badly at their home tournament. The BATS were out for blood and boy did they get it. Madras totally switched off to the game at hand and got pushed into their own half within minutes going 1-0 down. Once this had happened our boys fell apart and could not hold a strong BATS team. BATS pushed with strong rucking, tackling and speed they wanted the win. Final score 5-0 and Madras P7's were knocked out.
Thoughts for the future. The boys went into this tournament flat so the outcome was an unfortunate knock to their confidence. Some good passing and movement of the ball but when the support was needed there was none. The boys did realise that they would not be able to go through the middle and take the contact but insisted on still trying rather than quickly offloading to the wing were they would have gained more ground. Something for the coaches to work on and we all take some responsibility for the disappointing outcome. Heads up boys take it on the chin and let's move on.
Regards Des.

Navy recovery vessel USNS Safeguard en route to South Korea
The USNS Safeguard helps conduct salvage, diving, towing, off-shore firefighting, heavy-lift operations and theater security cooperation missions, according to Military Sealift Command.
SEOUL — A 7th Fleet diving and recovery vessel is heading to South Korea's southwest coast and could take part in the recovery of a ferry that sank a week ago.
The departure of a Navy amphibious assault ship and aircraft from the disaster site and the pending arrival of the USNS Safeguard highlight the transition from a rescue to recovery effort in what is shaping up to be one of South Korea's worst peacetime disasters.
Of the Sewol's 476 passengers, only 174 survivors have been found. As of noon Wednesday, 150 bodies — many of them high school students on a school trip to Jeju Island — had been pulled from the ferry. Divers have been going through compartments where a number of people are thought to have sought refuge before the ferry sank, according to South Korea's Yonhap News.
The 7th Fleet said in a statement that the Safeguard "is being pre-positioned as a precautionary measure to support recovery operations if requested by the South Korean government." As of early Wednesday afternoon, the Navy had not received an official request.
Meanwhile, the USS Bonhomme Richard left waters around Jindo, South Korea, on Tuesday after spending almost a week assisting in the search. MH-60 Seahawk helicopters, MV-22 Ospreys and UH-1Y Hueys based on the ship had been searching an area about five to 15 nautical miles from the sunken ship.
The Bonhomme Richard was conducting routine maritime operations in the Yellow Sea when the Sewol sank and traveled to the disaster site the same day. The amphibious assault ship, forward-deployed to Sasebo, Japan, had taken part in the joint U.S.-South Korean Ssang Yong exercise that ended earlier this month.
Two Navy diving and salvage experts remain embarked on the Dokdo, a South Korean amphibious ship, to advise South Korean naval forces on diving matters.
"The team will also be providing practical experience and computer modeling in support of the search, rescue and recovery operations for their South Korean navy diving counterparts," a 7th Fleet statement said.

I would love to have experienced what you have Johnboy, unfortunately everytime I went to go the the Magestic Tent it was full and I could not get anywhere near it. I am a huge fan of the National Folk Festival. I am 27 years old and this is my 13th year at the festival and one of the great things about it is that you can wander in and out of the venues. The Magestic tent does not allow for this. I hope they continue to include the Fringe festival, but maybe next year more people will be able to have access to it, so they can enjoy it as much as you have Johnboy.
ERm… As is clear from the opening line I did not do any such things myself, rather our accredited correspondent Beth Monzo did the observing.
As it would happen I was in the folkie as a paying customer today and the popularity of the majestic kept me out too.
Hopefully this will encourage the organisers to give them a real big top next year.

Posted Wednesday, March 20, 2013 --- 12:20 p.m.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- A new report by the nonpartisan Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance may explain why some Republican lawmakers have been outspoken in opposing Gov. Scott Walker's budget that would freeze spending increases for public schools.
The report released Wednesday found that of the state's 424 public school districts, 49 had lower revenues this year than a decade ago. Of those, about two-thirds are in Republican Senate districts.
Schools had been allowed to raise spending every year until Walker cut the increases in his last budget for the first time in state history. He wants to freeze it for the next two years.
The report says a majority of Republican senators represent areas with school districts that have seen little growth or declines in their revenue limits over the past decade.

A recent NPR article highlights the truly frightening environmental effect of monoculture. NPR commentator and science writer Craig Childs decided to replicate a photo project by David Liittschwager, a portrait photographer who spent years traveling the world dropping one-cubic-foot metal frames into gardens, streams, parks, forests, and oceans, photographing anything and everything that entered the frame.
Around the world, his camera captured thousands of plants, animals, and insects within the cubes, with entirely different "worlds" of plants and animals living as little as a few feet away from each other.
Childs recruited a friend, and together they set out to replicate Littschwager's "critter census" in a corn field in Grundy County, Iowa.
But whereas Littschwager's camera captured several dozens of insects wherever he set up his frames, Childs and friend found nothing stirring among the genetically engineered corn stalks on the 600 acre farm in Iowa, where they spent an entire weekend crawling around on the ground. No signs of life with the exception of an isolated spider, a single red mite, and a couple grasshoppers.
"It felt like another planet entirely," Childs said. "I listened and heard nothing, no birds, no clicks from insects. There were no bees. The air, the ground, seemed vacant."
"Yet, 100 years ago, these same fields, these prairies, were home to 300 species of plants, 60 mammals, 300 birds, hundreds and hundreds of insects," Robert Krulwich writes. "This soil was the richest, the loamiest in the state. And now, in these patches, there is almost literally nothing but one kind of living thing. We've erased everything else."

WASHINGTON – At the age of 24, Dane Horton Sr. left the U.S. Navy with a number of battle wounds—some physical, some invisible. After serving in the Persian Gulf during the Iran crisis, he returned home to face several new obstacles: pancreatitis, post-traumatic stress disorder, alcoholism, depression and homelessness.
"Not too many people would be happy going into the service and all of a sudden getting a sickness they've never had before," he said, looking back almost 30 years later. "I paid the ultimate price."
Horton was one of more that 350 homeless veterans who came to an annual health, housing and job fair at the Washington, D.C. VA Medical Center Saturday. At the Winterhaven Homeless Veterans Stand Down, veterans received medical screenings, mental health consultations, employment support and housing services.
"We owe so much to our veterans, and we're here to see that they receive the care and attention they need and have earned," said Fernando Rivera, director of the medical center. "If one homeless veteran exists, that's one too many, and that's unacceptable."
Rivera said the Winterhaven Homeless Veterans Stand Down was an opportunity for the medical center to reach out to veterans struggling to reintegrate into society. "Stand down" is a military expression to describe the process of relaxation after a state of order or alert—and it can often be one of the hardest tasks for veterans returning home.
Like Horton, many military veterans suffer from nervousness or PTSD, a severe anxiety disorder which may develop after a psychologically traumatic event like war.
PTSD can make it nearly impossible for some veterans to hold a steady job, maintain relationships and adjust to civilian life. When compounded with limited access to affordable housing, health care and social support systems, such mental health concerns often push veterans out onto the streets.
"The homeless aspect is the most visible, but it's just the last wrung on the downward spiral of missed opportunities," said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki, who made an appearance at the health and job fair. "If we're not doing something about all the rest of this, we'll be managing just the most visible problem. We'll never cure the root of it."
About 131,000 of the nation's 24 million veterans are homeless on any given night, and twice that number are homeless at some point during each year, according to estimates from the Department of Veterans Affairs. The National Coalition of Homeless Veterans estimates that one out of every three homeless men once served the country.
"There are still many Vietnam veterans on the streets, 40 years later," said Shinseki, a Vietnam War veteran himself. "I think the message is that if we don't go after this aggressively, 40 years from now there will be veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan in the same situation."
Iraq and Afghanistan veterans comprise only three percent of homeless veterans, but they tend to become homeless faster than veterans from previous wars, according to a 2007 study by Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. Many become homeless within 18 months, compared to a five or 10-year readjustment period for most Vietnam War veterans.
Last November, the Department of Veterans Affairs announced a five-year plan to eliminate homelessness among veterans, pledging $3.2 billion to a comprehensive effort for better health care, employment assistance and housing options.
The health and job fair at the medical center complemented the VA's plan, bringing together more than 40 community agencies to provide flu shots, physical exams, psycho-social referrals, employment support, housing assistance, veterans' benefits counseling, tax return guidance, haircuts and free meals.
"[Fighting] homelessness is not just about providing housing or shelter," said Rivera. "It's about providing education, employment and health care needs. From the medical center's perspective, we're not simply landlords."
Veterans who attended said the event was only a small sample of the assistance available at the medical center on a regular basis.
Denise Francis-El, a former member of the Army and the National Guard, said the medical center is also making a strong effort to assist female veterans, specifically through counseling sessions for victims of sexual assault.
"They're putting out more information," she said. "They have counseling and more services now. They have different clinics that are working, too."
Rivera said the hospital tries to create a safe, welcoming environment for all of its veterans.
For Horton, the VA housing and health care services have been real life-savers. After years on the street, the 50-year-old veteran has found temporary housing and continues to make progress in his health recovery. He has confronted his addictions with psychiatric therapy, and after six years of sobriety, he said he feels stronger than ever.
"The veterans took real good care of me," he said. "If it wasn't for them teaching me to deal with certain things, I don't think I'd be living. I'm ready to deal with things now."

Great location, two blocks from the wharf. Friendly helpful staff. Clean rooms.
Aging hotel. Under renos so some facilities were unavailable. No tubs in the king rooms, just showers.
Proximity to fishermans wharf, nice shower, nice pillows.
They lost our reservation and after 2 hours of San Francisco gridlock I had to spend another half hour in the lobby trying to get checked in. Valet parking was full, staff not overly friendly and despite my father calling ahead to make sure that his card was the one that as charged as he was paying for our honeymoon, they still needed our credit card and charged us 50$. Parked 5 blocks away and had to walk my luggage ridiculously far.
Quiet rooms.
WiFi should be free. If Starbucks can so it, so can you. The room is very expenaive and the WiFi should be included.
Great location 2 min walk to pier 39 but go other way up to Scomas too!! nice clean room,loved pool & spa after walking all day, expensive but so is all decent SF accommodation and we experienced only excellent customer service.
Hotel facities. Excelente location. Nice rooms.
We had to pay extra money for everything we did. Parking, wifi, breakfast. Extras are vey expensive! Parking per day us$50, WIFI us$15. The valet parking was very expensive and the service was terrible. Same as breakfast service.
The location so near major attractions .
Good food. Location!
Pool was very small and unattractive.
Staff were friendly and helpful. Location is good.
No real hotel bar, only Knuckles, a sports bar. No atmosphere. Elevator from lobby level was out of order the entire time of our visit. Heavy bags had to be lifted up stairs to get to lobby. At "peak" times, there was a line of people for the elevator. There were no stairs available (emergency only). Hotel as a whole looks in need of upgrade.
some staffs rudeness
$50 overnight parking
I got update an upgrade to the room with best view.
No complimentary breakfast
Awesome facility, terrific staff, spotlessly clean. Our second trip to this location, it was even better than the first trip.
Good location
Noisy room Bathroom, stereo and other items in poor repair Poor bell, valet service Forced to use cumbersome automated room service via TV Room service breakfast not received correct
Location was great.
Bathroom was not clean- room not very appealing.
Location is fine, very close to Pier 39, but quiet street! Girl at coffee bar was very friendly! And they have nice food, fruit and beverages. Room and bed are comfortable and big enough.
Small restaurant, too busy, went to the street. No cable internet! Only wifi..was very slow. Woman at front desk didn't have a good mood..
The location is perfect, close to all day-trips. Very convenient!
Our rooms were on the street side, you could hear every single car passing by. Fortunately, there is almost no traffic at night. For Hyatt standards, the noise-isolation is very poor!
Good bed, TV, coffee facilities
Street noise in middle of night (emptying bins , street cleaners). Corridor carpets not vacuumed. Cheap window covers. No fridge.
location, cleanliness, friendly staff
food, elevators, room furniture
Large rooms. If you want to stay by Fisherman's Wharf, good location. I personally prefer downtown area.
Due to a convention in town, rate was high ($299). But that's San Francisco.
- location - rooms were clean
- nothing
Staff very helpful. Concierge gave us a great restaurant recommendation and helped us decide on transportation back to the airport. Excellent location! Beds were very comfortable. The hot chocolate on a chilly evening was a nice touch.
Room smelled awful! Window filthy. Furniture sticky and tacky.
Location is just 5 minutes from Fishermen's Wharf, Taylor/Bay cable car turnaround, plenty of cafes, starbucks, walgreens and many other options nearby. The bed is very comfortable.
Unlike Hyatt's I have stayed in Asia, I think this may be the case with most hotels in usa. Having status as a gp member did not really provide any extra privileges. Lack of concierge help, this property does not seem like a Hyatt, very disappointing. I chose it because of the pool and my Hyatt status. There was a water dripping noise in my bathroom, sound proofing was inadequate from street and also room exterior corridor. There are many more hotels on this street, Holiday Inn Express is right opposite, Holiday Inn, Marriott is around the corner, so if there are cheaper options nearby, I would suggest that as this was not worth paying for.
