Soundscapes from tallgrass prairie are alive with sound. The problem is finding good places to record. Many prairie refuges are small wildlife management areas surrounded on all sides by busy roads, offering considerable frustration to the nature recordist. For this reason, I home-in on larger tracts, such as the 1360-acre Tabervile Prairie Conservation Area in west-central Missouri (it is one of the state’s largest remaining tallgrass prairies).
The following soundscape, which I recorded near a hedgerow at the edge of the preserve, is chock-full of bird song. The species that stands out the most is Henslow’s Sparrow—its high-pitched insect-like tslick! can be heard clearly against a backdrop that includes the songs of Field Sparrow, Dickcissel, Yellow-breasted Chat, and Northern Cardinal. Listen also for the occasional chuckles of a Southern Leopard Frog.
Dawn chorus featuring songs of Henslow’s Sparrow and many other species. 5 am | , 12 May 2005, Taberville Prairie Conservation Area in west-central Missouri. Recorded by Lang Elliott.
All prairie soundscapes are music to my ears. The emotions they evoke are complicated. On the one hand, I appreciate the extraordinary array of sounds purely from the standpoint of their artistic merit. On the other hand, I am struck by how few tallgrass prairie patches survive, and I find myself longing for the days when they, and their corresponding soundscapes, stretched for miles in all directions.

A descendant of the family Sligo, Charles Adolphus Thorburn Browne- familiarly Known as Charlie Browne- has spent most of his 75 years " cooking up a storm".

The over-coverage of the Pope-picking is the epitome of boring, pointless modern-day journalism and from what I’ve seen, CNN has been excelling at doing it. Ted Turner’s channel has to be the most confusing news network in the country. It’s as if it’s ran by a bunch of people who sit around and wonder: “What do people not care about and how can we over-saturate that to the point that people’s brains bleed and deflate?”
Example: America’s hardest-hitting journalist, Erin Burnett, talks pope shoes…
This has been going on for about a month. What’s sad about this, other than the fact that so much time, energy, and electricity has been wasted by CNN by pumping more pointless infotainment onto our already massive dung heap of data, is that the Catholic Church gets to pretend that it’s not a deranged institution that promotes celibacy at the same time it protects men who rape children.

The Day of the Triffids is being remade. On the upside, it's being done by the BBC:
BBC's apocalyptic "Triffids" sets cast
By Mimi Turner
LONDON -- Dougray Scott, Joely Richardson, Brian Cox, Vanessa Redgrave, Eddie Izzard and Jason Priestley are to star in a TV remake of the apocalyptic sci-fi drama "The Day of the Triffids," based on the 1951 John Wyndham classic sci-fi novel.
The two-part apocalyptic drama, scripted by Patrick Harbinson and produced by Power Television and Canadian producer Prodigy Pictures, is in production and will air on BBC1 this year. RHI Entertainment holds rights for the U.S.
Scott will play Bill Maysen, a doctor who has to lead a band of humans in an epic battle with the Triffids, a flesh-eating vegetable originally used as an energy source.

My research concerns the specificity and function of the gamma delta T lymphocytes. These cells represent a relatively rare type of T cell in mice and humans whose purpose is at this time not clear. Other lymphocytes, alpha beta T cells and B lymphocytes, by virtue of their antigen receptors, can detect and eliminate foreign micro-organisms from the body. The gamma delta T cells also carry T cell receptors (TCRs), related to but distinct from those carried by alpha beta T cells. However, instead of recognizing foreign molecules, gamma delta TCRs at least in some cases recognize molecules that are produced by our own bodies, which are induced during infection or inflammation and may be present on tumor cells.
Different gamma delta T cell subsets appear to play distinct roles. These subsets are often defined by the expression in their TCR of particular Vgammas or Vgamma/Vdelta | combinations. Projects are currently underway to further define the functional roles of several distinct mouse gamma delta T cell subsets during disease, two of which we have recently shown are potent producers of IL-17, a cytokine that is critically important in clearing infectious bacteria but which also can promote autoimmune damage.

The root of all football's evils
Another week, another scandal: Rotten apples suggest problems at the game's core as the riches on offer are a dangerous lure
This moving moment - coming after the Kop had applauded their scourge Jrgen Klins- mann off the pitch - came to mind last week as football endured again its regular dalliance with the gutter. It reminded you that for every football hooligan, there are thousands with decency in their souls.
For every player, too, sentenced to three months in prison for common assault, there are tens giving their time to coach youngsters; for every one arrested in connection with a bribery inquiry there are many more, even if still not enough, visiting children's hospitals with not a camera in sight. And for every manager investigated for taking a bung, there is another driving across country to speak without payment for a worthy cause.
It is for these people and the fans who rightly admire them that the game must purge itself and learn the painful lessons of this mother of all seasons. The assertion that it is not riddled with corruption looks flimsier by the week and its governors' duty rests in redoubling efforts to root it out and acting emphatically.

PESTICIDE ILLNESS & INJURY SURVEILLANCE
When used properly, pesticides offer a variety of benefits to society. They increase crop production, preserve produce, combat insect infestations, and control exotic species. However, pesticides also have the potential for causing | harm. Approximately 1.1 billion pounds of pesticide active ingredient are used annually in the U.S., and over 20,000 pesticide products are being marketed in the U.S.

Atlanta's Minor will look to build upon a solid 12-strikeout performance against the Cubs, while New York's Niese will attempt to forget a nightmarish five-run sixth against the Marlins in his previous outing.
Through just three career Major League starts, Minor has posted a 4.00 ERA and a 2-0 record. The 22-year-old first- round Draft pick has reached the six-inning plateau in each of his outings this season. After briefly being optioned to the Gulf Coast League to create a temporary roster spot for reliever Craig Kimbrel, the well-rested southpaw will work on eight days' rest.
Apart from two rocky starts in August -- seven runs allowed against both the D-backs and Marlins -- Niese has been more than serviceable for the Mets. Discounting the two hicc | ups, Niese has spotted a 1.38 ERA over his other four performances, boasting a respectable 3.63 ERA on the year.
Both pitchers will enter Tuesday hurling with something on the line. For the Braves, a little breathing room atop the tight National League East. For the Mets, to keep a fading playoff berth from dissolving completely.

Tell Yourself a Good Story
Posted by Michelle
While I was at Fitbloggin this past month, I heard some really beautiful stories. I didn’t resonate with all of them, but one statement has really stuck with me. I was sitting in on the discussion, When You Have a Lot to Lose, and Nikki was talking about her weight loss journey.
Nikki mentioned that the story you tell is the one that others believe. And sometimes the most important story you tell is the one you tell yourself. When you wake up, rather than complaining about the time or the weather, say something positive. Look in the mirror and tell yourself one great thing about who you are and one great thing about what you will accomplish today. Because today you will successfully accomplish something.

2012-13 men’s basketball preview
Coming off the most successful season in over a decade, the University of Missouri–St. Louis men’s basketball team will open the 2012-13 campaign this weekend with high hopes of another strong season.
Last year, the UMSL Tritons posted a 19-9 overall mark and captured its first Great Lakes Valley Conference West Division title outright, going 13-5 in league play.
The 19 wins were the most since the 1990-91 team posted 22 victories. The squad also strung together 10 consecutive victories – the second longest in program history and secured back-to-back winning seasons for the first time since 1994-95 and 1995-96.
Head Coach Steve Tappmeyer was named the Co-Coach of the Year by both the GLVC and the National Association of Basketball Coaches in | the Midwest Region.
While the Tritons did lose three players from that team, including top scorer and first team All-GLVC player Troy Long, several other players return, including Second Team All-GLVC honorees Joshua McCoy and Charlie Woods.
McCoy is the top returning scorer, averaging 14.4 points last season while leading the team with 56 steals and draining a team second-best 57 three-pointers. He also added 4.6 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game.

Engaging Science in the Life of Your Congregation
With so many issues to discuss, Christians can easily get the feeling that science is always attacking the faith. It is essential to balance such conversations with positive responses to God’s creation. After all, the primary response to the natural world in the Bible is to praise the God who made it.
Series: Excerpts from “Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution”

I'm fascinated by the “Visionary Architecture” show put on at MoMA in the fall of 1960. The exhibit consisted of materials (photographs of models, plans, drawings) from 28 ideas for cities and urban structures “considered too revolutionary to build.” “Ideal projects,” writes the show's curator Arthur Drexler, “afford the sole occasions when [the architect] can rebuild the world as he knows it ought to be.” And: “When ideal projects are inspired by criticism of the existing structure of society, as well as by the architect’s longing for a private world of his own, they may bring forth ideas that make history.” Theory and practice — vision and realism — merge | in this presentation. “Today virtually nothing an architect can think of is technically impossible to realize.” Here, then, comes a definition: “Social usage, which includes economics, determines what is visionary and what is not.”

Panel weighs cost as factor in sentencing
The Associated Press | January 26,2013
MONTPELIER — A Senate committee heard testimony Friday on a bill that would require judges to consider the expected financial costs before imposing possible sentences.
Under the bill before the Senate Judiciary Committee, the Corrections Department would develop a database that would be available to the courts listing the costs of individual sentences.
The head of the state’s attorney’s association and the defender general testified Friday that they welcomed more information about the costs of sentences, but they disagreed about whether to mandate that judges consider it.
“We don’t have a problem with financial costs being treated as relevant information, relative evidence in sentencing, in certain sentencing. We do have a problem with it being one of the criteria for sentencing,” said Bram Kranichfeld, executive director of the Department of State’s Attorney’s and Sheriffs’ Association. Kranichfeld said that requiring a consideration of the financial | cost to be part of the sentencing criteria could result in unfair sentences.
Of the 14 state’s attorneys in Vermont, nine weighed in and were opposed to the proposal.

DECATUR, Texas (AP) — A man who may be linked to the slaying of Colorado’s state prison chief led authorities in Texas on a harrowing, 100-mph car chase Thursday that ended after he crashed into a semi and then opened fire before being shot down by his pursuers, authorities said.

The possible link to the Tuesday night slaying of Colorado prison director Tom Clements is | tentative but intriguing enough to put Colorado investigators on a plane to Texas. The black Cadillac the man drove, with Colorado license plates, matches the description of a car spotted outside Clements’ home just before the Department of Corrections chief was fatally shot while answering his front door.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my husband.

The other night? He went to the store at midnight so I could have bottled water the next morning. Last week? He brought me flowers for no reason.

The LG Optimus 4X HD lies pretty well in the hand for a slab with a 4.7” screen, thanks to the very narrow side bezel, and the compact chassis. In fact, it is as thin and light as the polycarbonate HTC One X with the same size screen, but is shorter and less wide, making it more suited for one-hand operation.

SAN BERNARDINO -- Warner Hodgdon, a descendant of San Bernardino Valley pioneers who was responsible for rebuilding much of the city's core in the 1960s and '70s and was heavily involved in development for decades after, died Wednesday.
He was 80.
Hodgdon was one of the most prolific developers in Southern California, with significant projects in Industry and involvement in the construction of hundreds of businesses and homes, according to a statement sent Wednesday by Aaron Hodgdon, his son and president of the real estate company Hodgdon Group.
"His love of San Bernardino and vision for its future ultimately brought him to leadership of the city's Redevelopment Agency two different times, where he helped develop city landmarks like City Hall, the Central City Mall and later the Ashley Furniture complex in Colton," the statement says.
After building Shandin Hills Golf Club, he declared it "exclusively public. "
Auto racing was also a passion, and in 1976 he started a team with a car called "The Spirit of Public Enterprise," in tribute to San Bernardino, and sponsored local driver Billy Scott in the Indianapolis 500.
Hodgdon was also part or full owner of nearly a dozen race tracks, including Ontario Motor Speedway | and tracks in other states that still hold NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events, according to the statement.
Hodgdon gave several million dollars to help the Boys & Girls Club of San Bernardino, Lighthouse for the Blind, Campus Crusade for Christ, Santa Claus Inc. and other community organizations.
For years, he sponsored the Little League and built swimming pools and other facilities at Little League Western Regional Headquarters in San Bernardino.In 1974, Jim Sivelle was chairman of United Way of San Bernardino's drive to raise $1 million, which seemed doomed to fall just shy of that mark.

You probably know that passwords are the keys to most doors on a network, but do you realize where Windows NT 4.0 stores passwords? You can find them in many interesting places, so you'd be wise to become aware of these areas and provide adequate protection against prying eyes.
NT uses the SAM to store and retrieve user credentials such as passwords. Because the SAM stores its information in the SAM database, you can assume that NT is only as secure as its SAM data. And getting a handle on SAM security isn't easy unless you know all the places you might find a SAM database. This article will help you secure specific areas of your NT systems and find additional areas that need further configuration to strengthen security.
The SAM Registry Keys
NT stores a permanent working copy of the SAM database on your hard disk. You can access the database via the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Registry hive under the SAM key by either writing a program or using a Registry editor (e.g., regedt32.exe). Ordinarily, users can't directly access the SAM key with a Registry | editor because NT limits the permissions on the key to the built-in SYSTEM account, but administrative users can trick NT into providing SAM-key access under the user context of the SYSTEM account.
Disabling the NT Scheduler service. The trick involves using the NT Scheduler service to start the Registry editor and scheduling regedt32.exe to launch on the desktop at some predetermined time. By default, NT Scheduler runs under the user security context of the SYSTEM account. Thus, any program NT Scheduler launches has full system authority | [

After advancing to the quarterfinals of the GHSA Class AAA state playoffs in 2009, Liberty County moved up to Class AAAA and mustered 2-8 records in both 2010 and ’11.
Kirk Warner, who enters his 11th year as the Panthers’ head coach, is eager to return to the postseason.

Reading the educational public policy literature of the late 1990’s, when the neo-liberal agenda for the for-profit management of schools was becoming a formal reality in American consciousness and public education, one might conclude from media reports that a new, burgeoning market stood on the horizon of educational reform dramatically poised to fix what ails the nation’s public schools; | or at least that is what much of the literature was enthusiastically reporting at the time.

"It's only once a year!" a friend said to me just yesterday, kvetching about her sister-in-law's reluctance to suck it up and make merry. I've never met the woman, but I had to argue on her behalf.
I come from a family in which Christmas Day e-mails have become an acceptable level of holiday hoopla, but have married into a family heavily invested in the celebration. As much as I love and cherish every member of my husband's massive multigenerational clan, their celebrations operate at an unfamiliar frequency.
Being launched into the holiday machine with a family that celebrates bigheartedly, boisterously and lavishly became a source of yearly panic and dread for me. I was terribly ashamed of myself for feeling that way. Yes, it's only once a year, but my mother-in-law is nearing 90.

Listen here or subscribe to the blog/podcast.
A few week’s back we had the debut of the Zorch Zine issue Four in Episode 86. I knew the cover was a bit on the edgy side, but I assumed the comedic value would soften the blow.
Can’t say it’s all that big of a loss, but our lovely cover girl was banned from a big promotional stint that was taking place at an annual Japanese Anime convention in Seattle. Boo hoo, right? Apparently, the saucy new zine was singled out and told “No!” to prevent any children from being offended (seriously, that was the actual reasoning).
Rather than argue about the | target audience for the event, Japan’s animated sexuality, or anything else, we took charge and went the OTHER direction. If you want a standard by-the-book episode, check out Episode 76, but this week’s episode brought in the big guns: a special guest DJ by the name of Lyle. Back in the late 80′s, Lyle was the host of one of the craziest Japanese game shows I’d ever seen. Unfortunately, due to the language barrier, I have no idea | [

Given that she cast herself in the lead role for a show in which she does most of the writing, it's understandable that Lena Dunham has become conflated in many people's minds with Hannah, the monumentally effed-up protagonist of Girls. It's a problem that's sure to get worse now that Hannah seems to be enjoying the kind of fairy tale success that Dunham experienced at a young age.
It was easy to differentiate between character and creator when one was a huge success and the other a perpetually confused loser. Now that Hannah has "found a voice" and begun to experience success as a writer (at an age when most young people are still struggling to figure out how the hell they want to spend their adult years), it's fair to assume that Dunham's experiences as an acclaimed showrunner and author of a book of essays has begun to influence the course of Hannah's life. Like, for example, when Hannah gets commissioned to write a book of essays.
Okay, she's still light-years from Lena Dunham levels of success, but this is the same Hannah who couldn't hold down an unpaid internship in season one, so it's understandable when she pukes | up her cosmos after receiving the news. Naturally, Hannah will find some way to screw up her recent string of good luck, but for now, she's managed to almost turn the table on Marnie and Shoshanna who are still struggling with their inexplicable relationships to a lunatic and loser, respectively.

Gtaiv – Walkthrough The Ballad of Gay Tony – Practice Swing
GTAIV – Walkthrough The Ballad of Gay Tony – Practice Swing.
Post Comment|0 Liked It
Gay Tony’s got a problem – he’s sold the business to two different people and they each think they own the lot. One of the investors is Rocco, the same man who took cash from Tony in the previous mission. Tony has to “play nice” with Rocco until his debts have been cleared.
Go and meet Rocco at the Golden Pier golf club. Rocco is using unorthodox methods to extract information from a union worker. He needs you to hit the union worker with some golf balls while he goes down to talk to him. Position the marker on the worker (zooming in may help you to position the marker more accurately); start the backswing, and hit the ball when the descending power bar reaches the black marker.
Once you successfully hit the union worker, he reveals information to Rocco, but not enough to prevent a second golf ball attack! Re-position the marker at the new location, and repeat the steps mentioned before. Repeat the steps for a third time until the union official reveals everything. After the | third hit, the union worker’s protection arrives and a shootout takes place.
Run down the stairs and take cover behind the caddy. You aren’t given much ammo, so use what you have wisely! There are three cars full of Messinas (the union official’s protection) – two are situated straight ahead, and the remaining car is situated to the left. Begin by attacking the car on the left. Shoot at it a few times until it catches fire, and the explosion will take out any attackers. Once the car is on fire, switch your attention to the two cars straight ahead, and begin systematically eliminating the attackers | [

I have built up a 10 lootas and have used them in my last 5 games and I am not impressed. They just don't seam to get the job done. The random shots just don't do enough damage to warrant bringing them to the field. I think I would rather have another shoota boys squad. I might try out a squad of burnas on my battlewagon. I usually have a couple of battle wagon boys anyway so maybe a third one with a bunch of flamers is just what I am looking for.
A good bit of how lootas do is luck but their success also depends on where you put them and what they shoot at. I typically shoot at light armored vehicles or infantry. Of course the more you bring the better they do.

"Renaissance Thinking About the Issues of Our Day"
"The New York Times reported on Saturday, October 17, that Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) is warning his constituents that the “public option” is not going to be available to the great majority of Americans. No one who has actually read the Senate health committee’s “reform” bill or the House “reform” bill (HR 3200) disputes this. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the “option” will be available only to about 30 million people, or about one American in ten. As the Times put it (slightly inaccurately), the “option” in the Democrats’ legislation “would be out of bounds to the approximately 160 million people already covered through employers.”
Does the public understand this? According to Wyden, they don’t. Wyden says his constituents are shocked when they are told the “option” will not be available to the vast majority of Americans. When he began informing his constituents about this truth last summer, “They nearly fell out of the ble | achers,” he said (“And the public option is…,” New York Times, October 17, 2009, A10).
Democrats and “option” advocates should pay attention to Wyden’s observation. Wyden is saying, in so many words, that “option” advocates, with help from the media and the blogosphere, have fooled the public into thinking everyone will be eligible to buy insurance from the “option,” and when the public finds out this isn’t true, they’re not going to be happy."

With all the driving I do, the out-of-town consulting I've been doing, and Adam's reviews of GPS (Global Positioning System) devices, I've been tempted by GPS navigation units for a year or two - but they've always been too expensive for me to consider. One that caught my eye was Garmin's iQue - a GPS navigation unit built into a Palm OS handheld, promising either a much more intelligent GPS or a more capable Palm - but it, like the others, was too expensive. Recently, though, Geeks.com had the iQue 3600 refurbished on sale for $300; after a consulting payment, that was close enough to be doable, and after some waffling, I sprang for it.
So far, I've used it on one major trip and a fair amount of testing around town, and am overall pleased, though the experience has not been without its warts. By far the biggest one is Garmin's half-hearted Mac support; although they've relented to | the extent of posting a Mac OS X version of Palm Desktop that supports the iQue, the map generation software still requires a PC to run.
