With the nine changes Zinadine Zidane made in the real Madrid squad, they were able to collect maximum away points against Leganes and gain control of the position one in the Laliga table. The tactical temporary relieve of Ronaldo and Bale from duty gave Alvaro Morata chance to score three goals.
James Rodriguez scored the opener as early as 15', three minutes later Morata scored the second goal. Mateo Kocacic helped Morata get a brace just five minutes later and Leganes began a journey of equalizer with Gabriel Pires who with the right foot shot from a close distance past the goal keeper into the net at 32'.
Legane's Luciano Neves scored the second goal for the home team two minutes after the first goal. Although by the end of the second half a 3-2 score gave Leganes hopes for complete come back, second half had a surprise in store as Morata completed his hatrick with a header.

(May 23 – October 21, 2012) The Barrington Stage Company has, in less than two decades, become one of the premier summer theater festivals in America. The Stage's philosophy is three-fold: it aims to produce top-notch mainstage work while at the same time developing new plays and musicals and finding new and compelling ways to get people, especially young people, interested in the theater. It had already won a plethora of regional awards, including three Elliott Norton/Boston Theater Critics Awards, when in 2004 BSC scored its greatest triumph to date, winning a pair of Tonys for its The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee; several of BSC's other productions have made it to Off-Broadway, including Freud's Last Session in 2009 and Ears on a Beatle in 2003. Moreover, the BSC's home base, Pittsfield, is a prime example of the fabled "historic New England town," and those of an adventurous spirit can find great reward in just taking a ramble around town; as befitting its long history with baseball, Pittsfield is also home to ancient Wahconah Park, one of the last remaining wooden ballparks, which is also well worth a visit.

Sept. 24 — Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz said that he will continue to work with Congress to fund a new $11 million Tribal Energy Loan Guarantee Program to drive clean energy development on Indian lands and increase funding for the Office of Indian Energy Policy and Programs.
The Energy Department included the new program in its fiscal year 2016 budget request. However, the program hasn't been funded in the latest appropriations committee markups, Moniz said Sept. 24 at the 2015 National Tribal Energy Summit in Washington.
Moniz said that he is "frankly disappointed" that the program wasn't funded in the latest markups. But, he said, "The president and I, and some key members of Congress, remain committed to try to work for this program. We haven't given up."
The new program would underwrite and credit subsidies for loan guarantees to go toward tribally owned energy generation projects. Moniz said the loan program is a "real priority" that could leverage nearly $100 million in clean energy generation projects on Indian lands.
In addition to the loan program, the department has requested an increase from $16 million to $20 million in funding for its Office of Indian Energy Policy and Programs in its FY 2016 budget proposal.
Gary Davis, president of the National Center for American Indian Enterprise Development, a nonprofit focused on American Indian economic self-sufficiency, said he appreciated the administration's support for increased tribal funding.
"While I wouldn't begin to speculate on the congressional appropriations process, it's certainly a welcome development that the administration has put out a strong initial budget request. We hope Congress works with the administration to ensure these programs are funded at robust levels," Davis told Bloomberg BNA Sept. 24 in an e-mail.
Moniz also noted during his keynote address at the summit the importance of Indian-owned lands for energy resources, saying that while they only make up 2 percent of national land, they make up 5 percent of untapped energy resources.
"As we move forward, I'm committed to making DOE's Office of Indian Energy an even more vigorous engine for meeting tribal needs. That's why we have expanded our reach into Indian country, using more native contractors and service providers," Moniz said.
Moniz also referred to the $6 million in funding to support renewable energy, technology deployment and energy efficiency retrofits on tribal lands, which President Barack Obama announced during his trip to Alaska in early September.
The deadline for applications for the funding ends Dec. 10.
Davis said the clean energy funding is welcome news.
"We hope the initial investment in clean energy and energy efficiency projects on tribal lands will lead to greater deployment of these energy sources across Indian Country, and ultimately spur greater economic activity. We view investment in energy as an investment in our economy—and ultimately our sovereignty," Davis said.
Moniz also announced the addition of three additional tribal leaders to the Indian Country Energy and Infrastructure Working Group, an organization of tribal leaders who work with the Energy Department's Office of Indian Energy Policy and Programs to survey and provide feedback about department policies.
The three leaders come from the Osage Nation from Oklahoma, the Cherokee Nation from Oklahoma and the Association of Village Council Presidents from the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta in Alaska.
Moniz said these additional tribal leaders represent "a diverse portfolio of resources, including fossil energy resources."
Davis said this announcement "reflects the fact that oil and gas development is booming across the U.S., and Indian Country should also benefit from increased production in these areas."
"We hope the partnership and involvement with those who work in oil and gas will pay dividends for tribes by expanding economic development opportunities," he said.

Size matters
Size can be a signal that things have changed.
Have you seen bananas lately?
Or chickens compared to 20 years ago?
The height of buildings?
Density of cities?
I was visiting one of our suppliers a couple of weeks ago and noticed the size of abalone shells in their bin. They were maybe 5 inches. Teeny.
When I got home, I measured the one I collected about 15 years ago and it was almost a foot long.
That scares me. It makes my heart worry.
Abalone is regulated, and so is window-pane oyster (the kind used for windchimes). But the harvesting and dredging methods for most shells are wide open and horribly damaging. The regulations also change to suit business, not always environment. (Depending on the country of export).
To make a long story short… we don't carry shell anymore.
No coral, abalone, jewelry, clothing accents, buttons, smudge shells. Nada.
Whew! My heart feels waaaaay better!
How about you?
Today – choose something that worries your heart and deal with it in a single decision.
It could be that you want to start a new habit or stop an old one and you've been procrastinating. Make today the day.
Maybe staying in touch with family has been niggling at your heart strings. Schedule it in.
Maybe all the cute little pig videos on Face Book are worrying your heart. Decide not to eat pig anymore.
Maybe you keep thinking you should start or add to your savings account. Make today the day.
Let me know how it goes!
Live in joy,

Here's some food for thought—how come it took Mila Kunis, like, ten years to hook up with Ashton Kutcher?! Maybe it's because even though Ashton was certainly a looker during his That 70's Show days, he's turned into a full-fledged hottie as of late? Ashton walked the carpet at last night's NYC premiere of JOBS, the biopic based on the life of Apple founder Steve Jobs, and no, he wasn't wearing those sexy specs his character wore in the 80's. But he was wearing this sexy suit, and for that we are thankful:

J. W. Alexander once said,
The daily reading of God's holy word, by a parent before his children, is one of the most powerful agencies of Christian life. We are prone to undervalue this cause. It is a constant dropping, but it wears its mark into the rock. A family thus trained cannot be ignorant of the Word. The whole Scriptures come repeatedly before the mind…No part of juvenile education is more important (Thoughts on Family Worship, pg. 62-63).
As parents/guardians we must understand that God's words are powerful, and that they are more than capable to give us "wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus" (2 Timothy 3.15). Not only do the Scriptures give us wisdom that leads to salvation, but they are good for "teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness" (2 Timothy 3.16).
The reason that we read the Scriptures to our children is finally explained in 2 Timothy 3.17,
so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.
Therefore, we as parents/guardians are to read and integrate the Scriptures in the lives of our children on a daily basis (read Deuteronomy 6.4-9). The integration of faith in the lives of our children is to be a daily affair that is based upon our involvement in their lives. Since this is the case we cannot believe for one iota that sending them to school, children's church, or youth group, will provide all that they need to become a Christian. These should be a support to what is going on at home and not the primary means of instruction and discipline (read Ephesians 6.1-4)
Let me ask you parents/guardians, "What steps can you take right now to best incorporate the reading of Scripture with your family?" "Does life need to be simplified?" "Are there activities that need to be canceled to create more time for your involvement in the life of your children?" "Should you go to bed earlier, missing the late night shows, so that you can get up 30 minutes earlier to read and pray together?" "What steps need to be taken in order to have your family together for family worship in the evening?"
These are just some preliminary questions. I will provide some other thoughts on family worship later.

When I was growing up I had (I think) the same assortment of toys as everyone else. Some were cherished possessions, loved so intensely that they eventually fell apart. Some were gifts which, while gratefully received, were not really 'my thing' so they gathered dust for a while before being passed on to someone else.
A very select few survived both the passage of time and the whims of their owner – I don't like that anymore throw it away, no wait! I'll keep it a little longer.
One of those toys that I loved enough to play with, keep in good condition, and save for my own children, was Lego.
Oh boy, how exciting it was to have enough money to go buy myself some new Lego! I loved those little boxed sets that came with a mini-figure, because when I had finished building the house/car/post office/what-ever-it-was I could take my new little person to meet my other little people.
The new mini-figure would arrive and be introduced to the residents of my little Lego town.
They all had back stories. Some were related to each other. The nice lady mayor was married to the policeman. Some had been excommunicated after doing mean things, like telling lies or stealing cars, and then allowed to rejoin the group after heroically saving little Lucy who was almost killed in a dreadful accident.
They all had their names on their backs. Not written with pen, that might rub off. Engraved with a pin. (Ouch!)
My younger self would have been upset to call a tiny plastic friend by the wrong name.
When I outgrew my Lego sets they were packed into a box and stored safely in my parents loft where they remained while I graduated college, got married and traveled across the Atlantic to a new life.
Then I had kids. And then my parents came to visit, bringing with them some of my childhood treasure including my Lego!
The little people with their names etched on their backs were divided equally among their new owners, and those new owners were thrilled.
I now have three little Lego addicts in my house. Even my oldest, who is now a very mature preteen, loves to set up her Lego house and be neighbors with her siblings and their mini-figure people.
My kids can spend hours playing with their Legos. They follow the instructions and build houses and cars, spaceships and helicopters and they also raid their stash of 'extra' bricks and create things from their own imaginations, like three story motorbikes and tree restaurants.
I loved Lego. My kids love Lego. Generations before us loved Lego, and the generations still to come will love Lego.
Why does it endure? Because it is simply brilliant.
You can build, literally, anything that you want to build… and then what you do with that item is entirely up to you. You can demolish your creations, but they are not broken.
I just wish the really cool giant sets didn't cost so many dollars.
And I also wish that it didn't hurt so much to step barefoot on a forgotten brick.

Uganda's "Singing Priest" Suspended
On March 12, 2013, Fr. Musaala, tired of the hypocrisy around sexual issues in the Catholic Church in his country, wrote an open letter to his clerical colleagues and superiors, about the sexual abuse and celibacy violation issues in the Ugandan Church.
Fr. Musaala starts out by saying that "it is an open secret that many catholic priests and some bishops, in Uganda and elsewhere, no longer live celibate chastity...The church, however, still maintains the fable that most catholic priests persevere in celibate chastity fairly well, which fiction begs belief." And he opines that "now more than at any other time, we must begin an open and frank dialogue about Catholic priests becoming happily married men, rather than being miserable and single, either before or after ordination."
The letter goes on to mention specific cases known to Fr. Musaala of inappropriate sexual conduct by priests, without mentioning the names of the victims or the perpetrators, except the last case in which he himself, at age 16, had a sexual encounter with a teaching brother at his Catholic secondary school, which the brother initiated after inviting the young Musaala to his room on the pretext of doing some extra chemistry study.
Fr. Musaala's letter also expresses his frustration with uncorroborated allegations that surfaced in 2009 "that I must be a homosexual, because I had homosexual friends and went to homosexual gatherings." In the letter, he says that he "pointed out that I didn't actually recall having had homosexual relations with any of my rabid accusers, neither did they; which meant that hearsay alone became the evidence." But in spite of the absence of proof or any convictions, Fr. Musaala writes that "I was being treated, by my superiors as the biggest sinner in Nineveh."
In an exclusive interview on March 20th with blogger Melanie Nathan, Fr. Musaala went further, telling her that "one key reason I had to speak up was because of the subtle blackmail I was undergoing at the hands of the church." He said that every time he inquired about a new posting or permission to travel "the Archbishop would gently remind me of all the allegations of homosexuality made against me in 2009, and according to him still being made now." He said the Archbishop told him that it was up to him to prove that the allegations against him were untrue. In the meantime, he told Ms. Nathan that the Archdiocese of Kampala had placed him in a fairly remote parish, making it difficult for him to continue with his music work, which he says was frowned upon by conservative elements in the Ugandan Church. He laments that he has never been afforded the opportunity to confront his accusers and concludes that all of this is "good old fashioned catholic prejudice towards homosexuality, those who seemed to be homosexual. The unspoken text was 'You really do not belong here, but can be tolerated.'"
In response to Fr. Musaala's letter, Archbishop Cyprian Kizito Lwanga suspended the popular cleric on March 19th, issuing a statement that "because of the publication of his article in the public media which damages good morals of Catholic believers and further expresses a wrong teaching against the Catholic Church's teaching and that this stirs up hatred and contempt against the Church, he incurs a Ferendae sententiae penalty as prescribed by Can.1314. This means that Father Anthony Musaala is suspended from celebrating sacraments and sacramentals, from the powers of governance in accordance to the law of the Church Can.1335 and 1336 §1n.1, 2 and 3 as investigations are being carried on."
Later, on Holy Saturday, Archbishop Lwanga apologized publicly to those who have been victims of inappropriate sexual conduct by members of the clergy. The archbishop acknowledged that some of the anecdotes were "correct" but that the indiscretions should not be generalised as being condoned by the Catholic Church. He later told the press that he was forming an ad hoc commission to inquire into the matter. "Nobody commits a sin on behalf of an institution," Lwanga said.
As for Fr. Musaala, he is no longer discussing the case, citing an "agreement" he has reached with Archbishop Lwanga. Kampala's Judicial Vicar, Fr. Andrew Katto-Kasirye, has said that Fr. Musaala remains on indefinite suspension pending the investigation into the contents of his letter but that he is free to appeal. Fr. Katto-Kasirye added that "the responsibility now remains in the hands of Fr Musaala, to amend the damage he has caused to the Catholic faithful" and he advised him to "duly explain" to catholic believers the doctrine of celibacy in its rightful manner and context.
Fr. Musaala has told Uganda's NBS TV that he plans to challenge the suspension under canon law. He says that his letter was not intended for public consumption but was leaked to the press by someone who had shared his experience (presumably his sex abuse by a member of the clergy). He says in the interview that he wants the Church to learn to differentiate between abuse and consensual homosexuality. But on such issues, at least for now, Uganda's "singing priest" must remain silent...

For those who think sexual abuse and homosexuality are Catholic issues, pls google "sexual abuse Imam" for an eye-opener.ReplyDelete
Try also sexual abuse Mormons/Anglicans/Episcopalians etc for a balanced interpretation of the facts.
Fr Musaala has been under investigation for years and the Archbishop's attempts to discipline him resulted in his outburst. check "alexander basima 2010" on you tube for allegations by his own nephew (purportedly)
God bless you.
I agree with you that Catholic priests haven't cornered the market on abuse by members of the clergy.ReplyDelete
The videos posted to YouTube by someone using the pseudonym SouthernSahara that you are recommending are another matter entirely. I have looked at them and I'm concerned that there's absolutely no proof that the author of these videos is the nephew of Fr. Musaala. The narrator is never shown and the videos use a crude computer-generated voice to further conceal the identity of the narrator. This doesn't do much for credibility, to say the least. The videos contain extremely defamatory allegations without a shred of supporting evidence. This is why I'm extremely reluctant to direct viewers to them, even though you, Concerned Catholic, have been trying to push them through every available channel.
I don't know if you are -- or are working with -- the author of these videos but I would suggest that if you have real evidence and/or individuals who are willing to testify in a court of law that Fr. Musaala has committed any illegal acts, you should not be trying him on YouTube but going to law enforcement authorities , be it in Uganda or the United Kingdom (where it appears that these videos are being produced -- UK authorities could have him extradited presumably). If Fr. Musaala has indeed committed a crime, of course he should be prosecuted for it. If not, you should cease and desist from dragging his name through the mud since, as a Catholic, you know quite well that this is a violation of the commandment against bearing false witness.

Uncanny Overlaps
This morning I received an e-mail from a cinephile friend, Christian Keathley, who teaches at Middlebury College and is the author of the book Cinephilia and History, or The Wind in the Trees (2006). A while back, I did a post on his idea of the "cinephiliac moment." With Chris's permission, I'm excerpting from his e-mail below. -- Girish.
We've just started our spring term here, and the first week has been hectic as usual. I wanted to write again about something I'm interested in -- perhaps you might have some examples/ideas. (If I had a blog, this is probably the kind of thing I'd post.) For lack of a better way of putting it, I'm interested in the often uncanny ways in which one film's diegesis trespasses onto another's.
Here's an example: There's a scene early in Anthony Mann's The Far Country in which James Stewart, running from the law for having allegedly killed two men, is invited to hide in the steamboat stateroom of Ruth Roman. The crew comes in looking for him. "There's a killer on board, miss." "And you think he'd be in here?!" That sort of thing. When I watched the film with my senior seminar last term, I thought of how closely this scene resembles the one in North by Northwest in which Eva Marie Saint hides Cary Grant (another killer on the loose) in her train compartment. There, too, the authorities come in and question her and she plays dumb. In both scenes, the man hides in the woman's bed. This similarity can of course be explained by the simple fact that Hollywood routinely recycled scenes and situations, and not just in B grade features.
But watching it a second time I noticed two more similarities -- the first a coincidence, the second wildly uncanny. After the steamboat crew leaves, Ruth Roman pulls back the blanket and Stewart sits up. She remarks, "I imagine you look better with a shave." He replies, "My razor is in my saddlebag ... unless you've got one I can borrow." Of course, that's exactly what happens in N by NW -- Cary Grant borrows Eva Marie Saint's tiny razor, which leads to a comic scene in the Chicago train station men's room.
Here's the uncanny part. In The Far Country, just before the authorities begin to chase James Stewart, the steamboat captain calls out to the pilot, "Full ahead. Pull her north by northwest." Most curious here is the fact that there is no "north by northwest" on the compass: it's a cartographic impossibility (see Donald Spoto's book on Hitchcock, but others have commented on this as well).
So, are there other such moments? More importantly, what can we do with moments in which two films' diegeses suddenly and unexpectedly overlap like this? A fun puzzle to chew on over the weekend...
[from Chris's follow-up e-mail] Along similar lines -- the statue that appears in the first shot of Laura also shows up five years later in Whirlpool - same director, star, and studio. Apparently Fox's prop closet wasn't as big as we might have guessed. [A friend] tells me that there's a set of draperies that shows up somewhere in virtually every film Monogram Studios produced. These coincidences are explainable – or rather, they are easily explained away (which isn't much fun)...
Any other examples/ideas of such overlaps or coincidences?
-- Jim Emerson at Scanners: "A Journey to the End of Taste".
-- Steve Erickson at Gay City News on Film Comment Selects: "Much of this year's programming suggests an emerging "Europe Extreme" aesthetic, influenced by directors including Gaspar Noe and Michael Haneke."
-- Gerry Canavan at Culturemonkey with a post full of Philip K. Dick links.
-- David Bordwell: "Strategies of staging, like other principles shaping how films tell stories, lie behind each concrete creative decision the film artist makes. They run as undercurrents through film history, almost never discussed by critics. They form a body of tacit knowledge, flowing across our usual distinctions of period, genre, director, national cinema."

Experimental social psychologist Sheldon Solomon to speak
Sheldon Solomon, professor of psychology at Skidmore College, will give a lecture titled John Lockes Errors: Why Left and Right Are Both Beside the Point at 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 27, in 110 Kane.
Promotional notes say Solomon "will argue that contemporary liberal and conservative thought is directly and indirectly influenced by ideas of John Locke, based on erroneous assumptions about human nature, resulting in political philosophies that are … intellectually deficient and morally bankrupt." Solomon then will "propose the rudiments of a political philosophy based on an evolutionary existential view of human nature and consider the implications of this perspective for domestic and foreign policy."
Solomon is an experimental social psychologist, with interests focusing on the nature of self, consciousness, and social behavior. His work exploring the effects of the uniquely human awareness of death on individual and social behavior has been supported by the National Science Foundation and Ernest Becker Foundation and was featured in the award winning documentary film Flight from Death: The Quest for Immortality. The lecture is free, and sponsored and hosted by the UW Department of Communication.

Marshall Edwards Announces Initiation of Phase I Clinical Trial of Lead Oncology Drug Candidate ME-143
Sep 8, 2011
San Diego – Marshall Edwards, Inc. (Nasdaq: MSHL), an oncology company focused on the clinical development of novel therapeutics targeting cancer metabolism, announced today the initiation of a Phase I clinical trial of the Company's lead drug candidate ME-143 in patients with refractory solid tumors. The trial is being conducted in collaboration with the Sarah Cannon Research Institute in Nashville, Tennessee, following the approval of an Investigational New Drug (IND) application by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) last month.
This Phase I dose-escalation trial will evaluate the safety and tolerability of intravenous ME-143 in patients with refractory solid tumors. In addition, the trial is designed to characterize the pharmacokinetic profile of intravenous ME-143 and describe any preliminary clinical anti-tumor activity observed. The open-label trial is expected to enroll up to 24 patients with final data collected by the second quarter of 2012.
"We are excited to begin treating patients with ME-143, a promising drug candidate that has demonstrated anti-tumor activity in pre-clinical studies," said Robert D. Mass, MD, Chief Medical Officer of Marshall Edwards. "Together with the Sarah Cannon Research Institute, we will be obtaining important information regarding dosing, safety and potential efficacy of intravenous ME-143 over the next several months, which will inform the design of our randomized Phase II clinical trials in combination with standard-of-care chemotherapy."
Additional information regarding this trial, entitled "Phase I Open Label Multicenter Dose Escalation Study of the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of ME-143 in Patients with Refractory Solid Tumors," including enrollment criteria and site information, is available on the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) clinical trials database at www.clinicaltrials.gov.
About ME-143
ME-143 is the lead oncology drug candidate from Marshall Edwards' NADH oxidase inhibitor program. It was derived from a proprietary isoflavone technology platform that has generated a number of compounds with anti-proliferative activity against tumor cells in laboratory studies. In pre-clinical studies, ME-143 has demonstrated potent activity against a number of tumor cell lines, including breast, colorectal and ovarian. In addition to broad single-agent activity, ME-143 has also shown an ability to enhance the cytotoxic effects of chemotherapy in pre-clinical studies. Marshall Edwards owns exclusive worldwide rights to ME-143. ME-143 is an investigational drug and has not been approved by the FDA for commercial distribution in the U.S. or other countries.
About Marshall Edwards

A Duxbury couple have donated 25 acres of property in Plymouth — valued at $8 million — to Bridgewater State University, as they and school officials tout the importance of private philanthropy to public institutions.
Bruce R. and Patricia A. (Quinn) Bartlett, graduates of Bridgewater who met there in the 1960s, gave the property consisting of two office buildings and a warehouse at 54 and 60 Industrial Park Road. The complex at one time served as the headquarters of Bartlett Nuclear and later BHI Energy, which provides safety and protection services to the nuclear industry.
The Bartletts' gift is the largest ever received by Bridgewater State.
"Public education is what made the United States great," the couple said in joint statement. "Higher education opens doors and provides opportunities, and we want those doors open at all times."
In a phone interview from San Diego, where the couple also spend time, Bruce Bartlett said they have also given to the University of Arizona, where their son attended, as well as Bentley University, where he himself also attended.
Bridgewater State president Frederick Clark Jr. said the Bartletts placed no restrictions on the donation, and no decision has been made on whether to keep or sell the property, which includes Williamsburg-style brick buildings designed by Patricia Bartlett. He said that will be looked at over the next three to six months.
Clark said students in the past could receive sufficient state and federal financial aid to afford attending public universities. But that has become increasingly difficult without the help of people like the Bartletts, who have given a total of more than $13 million to their alma mater over the past decade, he said. The College of Science and Mathematics at Bridgewater is named after the couple, and much of their generosity goes to pay for scholarships.
Both Bartletts were teachers for a portion of their careers. Bruce taught math and worked as a certified public accountant before founding Bartlett Nuclear, as well as manufacturing and construction companies.
Bartlett said he sold Bartlett Nuclear in 2004 but retained the property and buildings, and the new owners moved the headquarters in 2016 to Weymouth.
The company was rebranded BHI Energy in 2010, and was acquired in 2017 by AE Industrial Partners LLC.
Patricia taught physical education in Quincy and in the classroom in Scituate for 10 years, and retired from teaching to help with the family companies. The couple launched the Bartlett Foundation, which funds medical research at hospitals and universities across the country, in 2004. They gave Bridgewater State $2 million in 2011 and $3 million in 2014.Jean Lang can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Over the past several months, the U.S. Department of the Interior's (DOI) Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE) – the lead federal permitting agency for offshore wind – has aggressively stepped up its efforts to review and permit the first wave of offshore wind projects in the U.S.
The regulatory process for gaining the necessary approvals to construct and operate wind farms in federal waters generally three miles or more from shore has been slow to develop. However, the DOI and BOEMRE have recently taken steps to revamp and implement new permitting and leasing procedures to streamline and speed up the overall process.
The most significant change in the federal review framework was implemented under the Smart from the Start initiative, which the DOI announced on Nov. 23, 2010, as part of a broader effort by the Obama administration to expedite deployment of renewable resources on federal lands.
Under the initiative, the DOI adopted a new, streamlined approach to lease issuance by deciding to identify potential lease areas, known as wind energy areas (WEAs), and to issue leases in the WEAs upon BOEMRE's completion of regional environmental assessments (EAs) under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), a far less time- and resource-intensive process than developing full-blown environmental impact statements (EIS).
Only after BOEMRE issues an individual lease would it prepare an EIS to evaluate the specific environmental impacts of the actual project to be constructed and operated on the leased site. The importance of this new procedure cannot be overstated, because eliminating the need for an EIS at the leasing stage should shave years off of the current permitting time frame.
In addition to this sweeping change, BOEMRE also revised its regulations in a Final Rule issued on May 16 regarding the notice requirements in cases where the agency receives an unsolicited request from a developer to lease blocks of land that are not covered in the WEAs.
Under its prior rules, BOEMRE would issue multiple notices upon receiving an unsolicited request for a lease in order to first determine and then reconfirm whether there was any competitive interest in the identified leasing area.
BOEMRE now has eliminated this second, redundant notice requirement and will instead rely on a single request for interest (RFI) to determine competitive interest. This change alone is likely to reduce the leasing time frame for unsolicited leases by up to a year.
Beyond the changes to the lease issuance process, BOEMRE also appears to be aggressively implementing the leasing and permitting program. On April 20, BOEMRE issued its call for information and nominations for projects off the coast of New Jersey. The call, which under BOEMRE's regulations typically would have been the second step in the leasing process, was issued without a preceding RFI, which generally has been the first step in the process. BOEMRE did so based on its apparent conclusion that the offshore wind industry's demonstrated interest in developing projects off New Jersey rendered the issuance of an RFI unnecessary.
BOEMRE has since indicated that it also might follow the same approach for the upcoming Virginia notice, suggesting this one-step process could become its standard practice for states where multiple developers already have shown interest in developing projects. While skipping this step might shorten the process only by a few months, it demonstrates BOEMRE's interest in seizing opportunities to expedite the leasing process whenever feasible.
BOEMRE also has emphasized its focus on getting turbines in the water as soon as possible, even at the expense of forgoing, in this first round of solicitations, some areas for potential offshore development. After receiving vocal opposition from elected officials and local fishing groups to its designation in the Massachusetts RFI of potential sites within certain key fishing areas, BOEMRE significantly scaled back the number of lease blocks available for potential development.
BOEMRE's decision suggests that it learned an important lesson from Cape Wind LLC's proposed project and is keeping its eye on the prize – namely, to get the first round of projects permitted and built by minimizing the potential for significant stakeholder opposition, which can slow down or even halt the permitting process. Arguably, this preemptive concession set a bad precedent for how best to respond to future stakeholder concerns, and possibly undermines the value of the NEPA review process as a vehicle for evaluating and selecting offshore development sites.
However, the agency's focus on coalescing broad support behind a few early projects should help the industry gain traction and proceed more quickly to actual construction and operation.
While it has been almost six years since the DOI was designated by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 as the lead permitting agency for offshore wind development, project permitting has progressed at what many in the industry believe to be a slow and perhaps overly cautious pace.
However, recent efforts to improve the offshore wind leasing and permitting processes have demonstrated a newfound willingness to aggressively exercise federal permitting authority to get the industry moving.
As a new industry in the U.S., the offshore wind industry faces many challenges, but with increasingly bold and decisive leadership at the federal level, the complex permitting process is becoming more streamlined, which will significantly reduce the regulatory burdens and associated risk of developing the first offshore wind projects in the U.S. Â

These days it seems like everybody is a fashion designer. With DIY and Etsy culture having a very extended moment I feel like I can't turn a corner (or open a new tab) without someone showing off the stuff they "made". The fact is, most of the stuff people make these days involves a hot glue gun or a screen printer. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I just thought I'd give you a glimpse into a bit of my own work which involves neither.
Along with the gold glitter bows I posted previously, Kindra and Laura also ordered two of my heart teardrop hats (of which a variation of the design will be available this fall) in "quilted red vinyl with spikes" which meant I had to quilt the vinyl myself AND create matching red vinyl piping to edge the hats with. These things take time. After I quilted the vinyl through a process that involved hand drawing a grid stencil, padding up the vinyl, and basting followed by machine finishing, I studded the vinyl by hand. Aside from the machine stitches across the front the entire hats are hand sewn- most of which I did on the subway on the way to and from work. Gotta get it done. Remember- real work takes time.
Anyway, I love how these turned out and I'll post photos eventually of the ladies rocking them! What do you think?

Tadacip is a drug used to treat erectile dysfunction in men. It is based on Tadalafil, manufactured by a major pharmaceutical company.
This drug, along with other high-quality generic versions of big-name medications, is made by an Indian pharma company called Cipla Limited. This company was founded way back in 1935, its name comes from the acronym for The Chemical, Industrial & Pharmaceutical Laboratories. During the span of 80+ years, Cipla has managed to rack up many accolades. Thanks to their tireless work, many people all around the globe have managed to improve their quality of life, all thanks to the cutting-edge medical options that this company offers.
Basic Information
Many people argue that Tadacip is an improved version of Cialis, because of its increased effectiveness and rare unwanted effects. Overall, this drug is revered due to its safeness and efficiency, but you mustn't overlook one of the main selling points – the interactions are not as severe when you compare this medication to Cialis.
Because of this drug's high potency, there are many things/prior conditions to take into consideration. Please, consult your healthcare provider whether it is okay for you to undergo this treatment. You must never use Tadacip if your physician has told you not to use it. Below you will find a selection of some of the widespread precautions. You shouldn't take this medication if:
- You suffer from hypertension or hypotension.
- You suffer from cardiovascular issues, including cardiac arrhythmia.
- You have underlying/previous liver issues.
- You have underlying/previous kidney issues.
- You have issues with your eyes.
- You have gastric ulcers.
- You have ever had seizure disorders.
- You have a bleeding condition.
- You suffer from Peyronie's disease.
- You ever had a painful erection that lasted more than 3 hrs.
- You have ever had blood diseases, including sickle cell disease.
- You are at a higher risk of severe allergic reaction to tadalafil/any inactive ingredients of this pill.
- You are using "poppers", i.e. drugs from the chemical class called alkyl nitrites.
This list isn't 100% complete, you are strongly advised to undergo a full medical examination before you begin your ED treatment with these tablets.
Similar to other tadalafil-based drugs, this one is a PDE-5 inhibitor that works by improving the blood circulation in the penile area, therefore, enabling your body to experience a natural reaction to sexual stimulus – erection. Thanks to this drug's effectiveness, patients not only solve all the issues when it comes to getting/keeping an erection, they also report that their erections are among some of the strongest ones they have had in years.
How Long Does It Last?
This particular tadalafil-based drug tends to take effect quicker than other anti-ED medications. You will experience the onset of effectiveness in the span of 25-35 minutes typically. In general, the effects last anywhere between twenty-four and thirty-six hours after taking the pill. Obviously, this medication's ever-increasing popularity is due to its long-lasting impact. It's the main selling point for some people.
Tadacip tablets are taken orally. You must drink a tall glass of water after swallowing a pill. Usually, patients are required to take this medicine approximately 25-35 minutes before the sexual activity. This drug has several options to choose from: 20 mg, 2.5 mg, 5 mg and 10 mg. The maximum dosage allowed is 20 milligrams, taken in the span of thirty-six-hour time frame.
Your medical specialist will have to figure out what dose works best for you based on your age, overall health, weight, prior medical history and several other criteria.
How to Use
There are two distinctly different ways of taking Tadacip. We're talking about the ED therapy only, because it's this drug's main usage. The first way of taking it is the one described before: using this drug approximately half an hour before the intimacy and taking 36-hour breaks.
The second way of taking Tadacip requires you to take on a pill (5 mg.) every single day. If you miss a dose, you should just wait until the next one – taking more than one pill a day can cause some serious damage in the long run.
According to the data, people prefer taking this drug "as needed". However, many prefer that taking a smaller dosage every day to avoid the need to plan intimacy far in advance.
Adverse Effects
If you happen to take the incorrect dose, you might encounter these unwanted after-effects:
- Polymyalgia rheumatica;
- Dorsodynia;
- Vertigo;
- Cephalalgia;
- Stomach heaviness;
- Nausea;
- Eye irritation.
There are some adverse effects that are unlikely to happen:
- Flushing;
- Impaired sight;
- Sudden deafness;
- Lightheadedness;
- Breathing issues;
- Swollen limbs;
- Cardialgia;
- Coughing;
- Persistent/painful erections.
This list of unwanted after-effects is not exhaustive. Please inform your physician about any and all adverse reactions to this medication.
You should tread carefully while taking this medication in order to avoid an overdose. You must consult a specialist before settling on a certain dosage. You can't take more than prescribed. The warning signs of an overdose are severe adverse effects, namely painful erections, lightheadedness, dizziness, vomiting, sudden loss of sight, and increased heart rate. You must contact a medical institution immediately in case an overdose is suspected. You may require urgent medical attention if the overdose is severe.
First and foremost, this drug is not meant to be taken with similar anti-ED medications. Let's split the drugs that interact with Tadacip into two categories.
Severe Interactions
- The above-mentioned anti-ED medications, namely Levitra, Cialis, and Stendra.
- Nitrates, i.e. medicines used to treat angina.
Moderate Interactions
- Alpha-blockers, namely doxazosin, terazosin, prazosin, silodosin, and alfuzosin.
- Antifungal agents, namely ketoconazole, voriconazole, itraconazole, telithromycin, clarithromycin, saquinavir, nefazodone, erythromycin, diltiazem, fluconazole, verapamil.
- Antibacterials, namely azithromycin, erythromycin, clarithromycin, telithromycin, roxithromycin, and cethromycin.
- AIDS treatments, namely amprenavir, atazanavir, indinavir, lopinavir, nelfinavir, ritonavir and saquinavir.
- Hepatitis C medicines, namely ribavirin, and telaprevir.
The above list is not 100% comprehensive, you must consult your physician and your druggist prior to beginning this treatment. In order to ensure your own safety, you must write down the exhaustive list of all the health products you're currently taking, including OTC meds, herbals, and prescription pills and hand it to your MD.
Alcohol Interaction
This medication is noted for its safeness when it comes to the alcohol interaction. When compared to the other alternatives, this drug looks like the safest bet if you prefer to enjoy a glass or two before intimacy. However, the patient must always be informed that this medication seriously affects your BP. Both liquor and this treatment are vasodilators, their combined effect might cause you to become dizzy and lightheaded.
Drinking too much liquor in combination with this pill can lead to increased heart rate and severe headaches. Some patients report that even a slight dose of liquor leads to a disappointing outcome, performance-wise. This drug's effects can also be hindered by ethanol, so it is strongly suggested to avoid drinking altogether.
Food Interaction
You must not drink grapefruit juice or eat grapefruits while taking this drug. This fruit can possibly delay the effects of this pill. You might also encounter some unwanted after-effects if you mix the two. We strongly suggest consuming other, similar fruits because they do not interact with this medication at all.
You must also avoid fat-heavy foods, including cheese, avocados, fries, chocolate, and nuts. These types of foods can significantly slow down the impact of this treatment which, ultimately, may disrupt the intended 36-hour circle and lead to serious consequences. In case if you are wondering if a particular food not mentioned above is okay for you, check to see if its fat content is not over 29%.
How to Increase Its Effectiveness?
Despite this drug's well-known efficiency, there are still some ways you can improve its beneficial impact. You can start by avoiding drinking altogether. There are some lifestyle changes that you can make in order to improve this drug's efficiency and help it eradicate ED, namely quitting smoking, leading a more active lifestyle, committing to an exercise regimen and losing weight. Avoiding stressful situations/performance anxiety is also incredibly beneficial in this situation.
Miscellaneous Information
- There are no serious consequences if you happen to miss a dose. You can skip taking this medicine whenever you feel like. You can almost always wait until the next scheduled dose.
- You must refrain from driving and operating heavy machinery while undergoing the treatment. Some patients report feeling sleepy, exhausted and less alert.
- There are several other uses for this drug, including pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and benign prostatic hyperplasia treatment.
- This pill is not meant to be chewed, crushed or broken. You must swallow it a whole.
- There are no differences in impact, whether you take this medication with food or without it.
Tadacip is approved in India, USA, Europe, and Japan.
- It is possible to completely eradicate ED thanks to this pill.
- It is undetermined whether or not this medication crosses into breast milk.
- This medication doesn't work unless some sexual stimulus is involved.
- This medication doesn't protect a male or his partner from any and all sexually transmitted diseases, including AIDS. You must practice safe sex, using your preferred method of contraception.
- There are some insignificant differences between this pill and its brand-name version.
Please read the recently-published studies for further information.
I'm speaking as a long-time ED sufferer – I am currently 67 years old and I have tried all the anti-ED medications available on the market at one point or another. Tadacip is best of them all, no doubt. I can take a single pill and not have any issues with getting hard for two days straight. My latest SO (yeah, I'm still kind of single!) was completely and utterly shocked by my sexual stamina. So, in short, Tadacip works and it works really well. Instant confidence booster, if you will.
I take ½ of the suggested dose and Tadacip still works fine for me. I didn't mean to brag or anything like that. Obviously, your mileage may vary, everybody is unique, different, etc. But I'm shooting straight in this review – Tadacip succeeded where the others have miserably failed. I have had this issues for a long time, now I can finally feel like a man once again. By the way, with no medication I still get hard-ons but just cannot seem to keep them long enough – that is ALSO an improvement.
So, I'm only 29 years old and I already have some ED-like symptoms. It's not that I'm getting old real fast, it's not that I have some terrible illnesses or genetic predisposition or anything like that. My problem is severe performance anxiety. Shockingly enough, Tadacip has improved my confidence tenfold. I was dreading intimacy before, but now I can finally live my life to the fullest. For all the nay-sayers – yeah, it's generic, but it works exactly the same. Just stop being so prejudiced and give it a try.
I'm only 50, but I have had some diffuclties with "strong" erections my whole life. On and off, as they say. During the last couple of years, my penis was more limp than stiff. This decline almost wrecked my marriage. I was so stressed out and depressed all the damn time. I have finally payed a visit to my doctor. As a result, I have tried this little drug called Tadacip. What do you know? Incredible erection, I'm hard as a rock whenever I need to be, and it feels awesome. No side effects too!

With my last exam tomorrow which a lot of study has already been done for, I wasn't going to study all day, so I decided to scroll through my favorite food blog known as "Petite Kitchen". For those of you that have been reading my blog for a while may possibly know I went gluten free for a period, so I already had many of her healthy, gluten free ingredients stored in my pantry. I've obviously adapted the recipe to what suits me, but i'll place the original link to her recipe at the bottom. This recipe creates 12 rustic looking cute cakes which are not only healthy but are incredibly delicious.
3 free range eggs
½ cup honey, maple or agave syrup
¾ cup extra virgin coconut oil, olive oil or butter
2 cups ground almonds/almond meal
3/4 cup shredded coconut, plus a little extra for sprinkling
2-3 medium sized carrots
grated zest of one lemon
2 tbsp chia seeds
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp baking soda
Preheat the oven to 160 C
Add all ingredients in to a large mixing bowl. Using a wooden spoon, mix until well combined.
Divide the batter between the muffin tins, and then bake in the oven for 30 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted.

My name is prince - I don't wanna be king
Cuz I've seen the top and it's just a dream
Big cars and women and fancy clothes
Will save your face but it won't save your soul
I'm hear to tell you that there's a better way
Would our lord be happy if he came today?
I ain't saying I am better no better than you
But if you want to play with me you better learn the rules
My name is prince and I am funky
My name is prince-the one and only
I did not come to funk around
Till I get your daughter I won't leave this town
I won't leave this town
I won't leave this town
I won't leave this
Leave this
Leave this
My name is prince and I am funky
My name is prince-the one and only-hurt me!
The funkier I be
The funkier I get oh shit
Lickety-split on the lyric
A new jack in the pulpit
Watch it deacon, your track is leakin'
What is this you're seekin?
The syncopated rhythms are at their peak
When you jumped on my d.I..k
That's the one thing that I don't play
The jock strap was too big 4 you anyway
You're just a simpleton
I'll bust you like a pimple, son
My star is too bright
Boy, I'll sink you like the ship Poseidon Adventure
You're bumpin' dentures to be cocksure
There must be more coming out
Your mouth than manure
So with a flow and a spray, I'll say hey
You must become a prince before you're a king anyway
It's time I get igna-igna-igna-ignorant
Def be the beat that I'm rockin'
So yo, come get a hit
And put your thinkin' cap on
You've been forewarned
I call upon the inner forces that I've got brewing
In my cauldron. that means my nugget...
Sometimes I'm rugged
The style I possess be havin'
The other brothers buggin' and this is for those who oppose
And propose to overexpose and disclose
Pose a threat to my brother...
Like any other man makin' a stand...
I'll be damned if I let you play this hand!
I'm the black jack dealer and the cards are stacked
What do you expect to win when you're used to playing craps?
Damn. it's gettin' tricky
I mean it's a sticky situation
To resurrect a groove with feeling
And give it this much affection
Passion flows and who knows
What lurks in the gallows of my mind
I put my foot in the ass of Jim Crow
12 Inches of non-stop sole
I'm on a roll wit p, and it's time for the show
So do that, do that-somebody
Wave your hands in the air
This is a mfin (???) party
While you're laying back I'm on the attack paddywhack
Give yourself a bone
This is my house and I am prone
To layin' some chrome upside your dome
My name is prince and I am funky
My name is prince-the one and only
My name is prince

To begin, if you would like to relive the wedding festivities (or you missed them the first time), you can rewatch the SVT coverage (standard, subtitled, or with sign language interpretation) for a limited time. The videos will expire 28 days after the wedding (which I believe, will be sometime around the first weekend in July).
Princess Madeleine of Sweden married British-American banker Christopher O'Neill in the Royal Chapel of Stockholm's Royal Palace on Saturday afternoon. As royal weddings go, this was a relatively small ceremony, but it was completely sweet and full of love for the bride and groom and between them.
Madeleine's wedding was completely different from her sister Victoria's, reflecting her status as fourth in line to the Swedish throne and Chris' decision to turn down royal rank. However, Madeleine made sure to add plenty of… shall we say, "splashy" touches to her day. She walked down the aisle on the arm of her father to singing from a children's choir, and the recessional was a troupe of folk violin players who played a wedding march from Hälsingland (Madeleine is the Duchess of Gästrikland and Hälsingland). Most of the ceremony was performed in English, probably for the benefit of Chris' relatives (and to the enjoyment of this American), and I enjoyed being able to read the Swedish subtitles as it was being spoken so I could try and pick out the meaning, though my Swedish skills are still virtually nonexistent.
In accordance with his desire to stay away from official royal rank, Chris was appointed as a Knight Commander of the Order of the Polar Star, a chivalric order that ranks third in precedence of Swedish orders (behind the Royal Order of the Seraphim and the now-dormant Order of the Sword) and is usually granted to foreigners and junior members of royal families. (The Order of the Seraphim is the highest royal chivalric order in Sweden and is granted to members of the Swedish Royal Family, foreign heads of state, and some foreign royal heirs. Prince Daniel was named to the Order of the Seraphim on his wedding day and wore the sash and star of the order as he and Victoria left Stockholm Cathedral.)
While Madeleine looked gorgeous in her Valentino lace gown and veil, I had fun just watching Chris during the broadcast. He started out a little tentative as he walked up the spring green carpet to the chapel, fought back tears as Madeleine was escorted by her father up the aisle, and then after the ceremony, started to get a little silly. He and Madeleine stood on a small platform outside the palace for their "balcony moment," and he worked the crowd, asking them if they wanted one more kiss. By the end of the couple's carriage ride through the streets of Stockholm, he was waving at the people with both arms and almost his entire upper body.
Madeleine and Chris will continue to live in New York, where both of them work. Apparently any of their children could lose succession rights unless they are raised in Sweden as Protestants (Chris is Roman Catholic), but considering that Madeleine, as the King and Queen's youngest child, will continue to work her way down the line of succession as her elder siblings have children, it may not be necessary to keep her own children in line for the throne… but that's just speculation and a decision for them to make when the time comes.
Anyway, grattis/congratulations to the happy couple, and varmt tack/warm thanks for sharing your special day with us.
A quick note: A huge thank you to all my lovely readers and to those who just discovered this blog for the first time this past weekend. Saturday brought the most page views this blog has ever had in its almost 18-months of existence. I'm still relatively new to the blogging game, and seeing my page view stats go through the roof was a lovely surprise to cap off a lovely day. I'm so glad my blog was able to help so many join in on the festivities through the wedding web stream.

It takes a brave player to step up and take a penalty. It takes an even braver player to step up and take a penalty in the 95th minute of a derby game with the score at 1-1.
20 year old Mexican midfielder Arturo Gonzalez is that brave man, he's also a confident young man but right now he's probably feeling very, very embarrassed.
With the score level against rivals Guadalajara, Club Atlas were awarded a last minute, potential match-winning penalty when Gonzalez stepped up.
Feeling confident, the Mexico international tried to channel his inner Zidane and dink the ball down the middle with a cheeky Panenka.
Thing is though, our confident young footballer actually scuffed his left-footed effort ever so slightly, allowing Guadalajara goalkeeper Luis Michel to casually recover to make the save.
Nightmare Arturo, absolute nightmare.

Texas Tech Football Home Opener Moved to Thursday, September 12
For the second time in two days, Texas Tech Athletics has announced a schedule change for Texas Tech Football.
Texas Tech's 2013 home opener against TCU has been moved to Thursday, September 12. The game will be nationally televised on an ESPN or FOX Sports Network (possibly the new FOX Sports 1).
"We are excited to have our 2013 Big 12 season kickoff in front of a national television audience," Kirby Hocutt, Director of Athletics said. "The Big 12 conference television agreement requires that our league provide four Thursday night games and we look forward to this opportunity to showcase our great university and city to the entire nation."
Texas Tech and TCU were originally scheduled to play on Saturday, September 14. The last appearance for Red Raider Football on a Thursday night came in 1994 when Tech lost 42-16 to then #1 ranked Nebraska at Jones AT&T Stadium.
Texas Tech Football now has three games scheduled for national television broadcasts. Those games are the August 30th season opener at SMU, the September 12th game vs. TCU and the Thanksgiving night game on November 28 at Texas.

Southeastern Wisconsin Invasive Species Consortium, Inc.
SEWISC E-News
The quarterly electronic newsletter of the
Southeastern Wisconsin Invasive Species Consortium
PULLING TOGETHER through some friendly competition
Our Garlic Mustard Pull-A-Thon is an annual fundraising event, where we encourage folks throughout southeastern Wisconsin to protect the woodlands of their neighborhoods by pulling this invasive plant. Our 2017 goal is to collectively pull 10,000 pounds and raise essential funds for the fight against invasive species – so come on and join us!
The pull-a-thon is a competition, a fundraiser, and a way for people to join together and have a positive impact on their environment. Our natural areas will only avoid damage from invasives with a long-term sustained commitment to invasives control. Help raise funds for a sustainable invasives program at the same time that you help to reduce garlic mustard seed production in 2017.
All proceeds will be used for invasive species education, prevention and control in southeastern Wisconsin and contributions are tax-deductible. The Pull-A-Thon Traveling Trophy and bragging rights will be awarded to the Team that collects the most pledges and pulls the most garlic mustard by June 30, 2017.
Pull-A-Thon Objectives:
Please visit: 2017 Garlic Mustard Pull-A-Thon for more information on this exciting annual event. Register a team, join a team and/or donate to a team!

Two project woodlands in Milwaukee County
With financial assistance from the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative and the US Forest Service, SEWISC is partnering to control invasive species and restore the native plant communities of two important urban woodlands in southeastern Wisconsin: Milwaukee County Zoological Society and University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Downer Woods. Through this funding, invasive species populations in the project sites are detected and controlled using best management practices. Re-establishment by the invading plant species will be prevented by restoring native species and through long-term monitoring by committed staff and volunteers in both locations.
The Milwaukee County Zoological Society is removing common and glossy buckthorn and garlic mustard from a 2-acre area adjacent to Lake Evinrude at the Zoo. After removal, the cleared areas are treated with herbicide to help prevent regrowth of the invasive shrubs. To augment this restoration effort, the cleared area will soon be replanted with a diverse selection of more than 150 native trees and shrubs following guidance provided by the US Forest Service. This project provided the Student Conservation Association and the Milwaukee County House of Corrections the opportunity to assist with the removal of invasive species and restoration of native species. These and other habitat preservation efforts will continue to take place at the Zoo, and simultaneously raise awareness of this critical issue to the 1.3 million annual Zoo visitors.
Prior to 1999, Downer Woods (located on the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee Campus) received no management and contained an herbaceous layer heavily dominated by garlic mustard where sufficient light reached the forest floor through a dense common buckthorn shrub canopy. This condition was typical of many ignored urban woodlots at that time but in 1999, University staff removed all fruiting-sized buckthorn, and began to prevent garlic mustard seed set. This invasive control work has continued over the past 17 years and has been augmented by planting native tree saplings. The response of the native plant community has been tremendous. The woodland is becoming a well-known and well-studied example of recovery from invasive species. To complete the restoration University staff and volunteers will remove the last cohort of buckthorn and honeysuckle individuals that were seedlings in 1999 and continue to plant native tree and shrub species following guidance provided by the US Forest Service.
Outpost Natural Foods Cooperative is committed to supporting and building strong partnerships with local like-minded organizations. This has been accomplished through its Community Partners give-back program for more than 20 years.
We are proud to announce that SEWISC has been chosen as one of Outpost's 2017 partners! Every year four locally-based non-profit organizations partner with Outpost to build greater community awareness of each organization's mission as well as to raise funds to support their work. Building strong community partnerships is a key part of what Outpost does as an organization.
In an ideal world, public investment in control and management of invasive species would be proportional to the economic and environmental cost of invasive species. However in the real world, much of the work of minimizing the impact of invasive species is accomplished by non-profit volunteer-based groups like SEWISC. Outpost applauds this effort and recognizes that SEWISC's mission and vision coincides with Outpost's mission of creating a healthy, diverse, and sustainable community.
Special events to highlight SEWISC's partnership with Outpost during the months of April, May and June include SEWISC educational visits to Outpost locations in Wauwatosa, Milwaukee and Bay View. Two presentations on invasive species in our region and ways to manage them are scheduled in Mequon and Milwaukee. Stop in to your favorite location and pick up our brochure.
In January we extended tremendous gratitude to newly retired Board Member Steve Klock for his commitment to our mission and for the enthusiasm he shared throughout his 6-year term of service. New 2017 Board additions include one Director and one Student Director who will each serve initial three-year terms:
Fie Thao was born in Waterloo, Ontario. He moved to Milwaukee in 1999 and attended Hawley Environmental School which sparked his interest in nature. Fie graduated from Milwaukee School of Languages in 2014 and is currently enrolled in MATC's Arbory and Horticulture program. His experience inludes trail building and maintenance along with invasive species control through his involvement with the Student Conservation Association and Cream City Conservation and Consulting. Fie enjoys camping, fishing, music and walking the trails of the Milwaukee County Parks.
Jeff Veglahn was born and raised in La Crosse where he enjoyed the equisite ecology of the Mississippi River and area wetlands. He received a B.S. in Ecology from Winona State University and after graduating in 2009, Jeff and his wife moved to Milwaukee. He currently works for the Urban Ecology Center as Land Steward for the Menomonee Valley branch. Jeff's favorite activities include cooking (eating), fishing, and exploring personal faith based disciplines.
