il 02/09/2013 @ 14:31 | The crocuses, moss phlox and other spring flowers stir memories of Ms. Hall?s grandfather, who arrived with his four small children 100 years ago this summer. Advertisements placed by the new Dominion of Canada in British papers had said there was fertile land for the taking on the virgin prairies of Saskatchewan, where grain flourished even in the driest regions.Unable to resist, the recently widowed greengrocer in a Derbyshire coal town took up a piece of that promised land southwest of Swift Current on the edge of the Great Sand Hills, planting his first crop in 1915 in some of the province?s poorest soils.They got by, but when the Dust Bowl drought hit in the 1930s, Ms. Hall says, the government moved the family and its neighbours off the land. Their homesteads had been deemed unfit for farming and were to become part of a large communal pasture under a new federal program.Created in April,????? ?????, 1935, that program, the Regina-based Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration (PFRA), set about stopping the erosion before it turned the southern Prairies into a desert. Once the soil was stabilized and the emergency over, its mandate shifted to managing the pastures, to provide grazing for local cattlemen while conserving soil, waterways and prairie ecosystems.Last November, when Ms. Hall sent me her family?s sad narrative ? withered crops,Beats By Dr.Dre ?????, blowing soil, children scattered, her 12-year old father labouring for one abusive farmer after another ? she was worried about those pastures. She wrote to me because I was worried too. I keep a blog that focuses on the birds and natural history of the Great Plains. These days, however, almost every post tries to shed some light on the legacy of the PFRA, which, like many other federal environmental programs, fell under the shadow of Bill C-38, the 452-page omnibus budget bill introduced a year ago.Ottawa had decided after 77 years that it was time to close the agency and hand responsibility for the 9,300 square kilometres it administers ? an area nearly twice the size of Prince Edward Island ? to the provinces where the land is located.Rural and urban people were alarmed. Farmers worried about access to grazing; conservationists worried about losing the ancient prairie and protection for its many endangered species.The memory of the Dirty Thirties runs deep in prairie dwellers. Even in wet years, they know the big dry will come again, and when it does, the PFRA will not be there to help.The PFRA story is about land, big pieces of it. We call them pastures, but this isn?t your uncle?s weed-filled back forty. The Val Marie pasture spans 100,000 acres and is just one of 62 the PFRA manages in Saskatchewan, along with 22 in Manitoba and one in Alberta.The vast majority of all that acreage is native grass, the ancient buffalo prairie that has never felt the plow Failed farms account for just 20 per cent.As rare and ecologically important as coastal old-growth forest, the PFRA grasslands are listed by the World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA) as lands that Canada has made a commitment to protect.The federal government abandoned that commitment when it discontinued the PFRA.No policy study, no rationale; in fact, Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz did not even bother to trot out the usual austerity arguments. He simply announced that the program had done its work, and could stand down. ?The pastures are now well-established in the Prairies,? he explained in a news release last April 18. ?This change will create a great opportunity for provinces,BUFFALO ????, stakeholders or those who use the land to take over pasture management.?The transition is to take place over the next three years and, unless there is a delay, this season will be the last for the first 10 pastures scheduled to leave the federal fold.When people questioned the decision, Mr. Ritz, who grew up on a Saskatchewan grain farm, wrote to the Regina Leader-Post saying that ?because farmers expect us to work smarter with their tax dollars, we are winding down programs like community pastures ? that have met their goals.?But westerners know better: The PFRA has been a smart investment for Canadians, returning far more in public benefits than its meagre costs.A study sponsored by Agriculture Canada in 2006 estimated those benefits at $55-million a year, compared with the $22-million required to administer the pastures, more than half which was covered by fees charged for grazing cattle.As for the program having achieved its goals, the need for soil conservation and managing ecosystems in the public interest does not simply go away. Not only can healthy grassland become overgrazed and infested with invasive species within a few years, well-resourced management will be even more important should the prairie provinces receive the longer, more intense droughts widely predicted by climate-change models.Over the years, the PFRA has become a model of sustainable agriculture, and its pa |

il 02/09/2013 @ 14:30 | Dave Pallone, who was part of Chicago history when he umpired the first night game at Wrigley Field, is returning to Chicago to take part in another chapter of American sports history: His inclusion in the inaugural class of what organizers say is the first-of-its-kind National Gay & Lesbian Sports Hall of Fame.On Friday night, Pallone will be honoured in the first class of inductees that includes tennis greats Martina Navratilova and Billie Jean King, Olympic diving champion Greg Louganis, and Jason Collins,????? ???, who in April became the first active male professional athlete in a major team sport to publicly reveal he was gay.?It is a tremendous honour and ... I hope it gives young people and adults alike who happen to be LGBT and want to be in professional sports another example of why they should continue to strive for their dreams,Sennheiser ?????,? Pallone said.Rick Garcia, a prominent Illinois gay rights activist agreed, saying he hopes the hall of fame encourages gay and lesbian youth to ?have a career in sports and excel in that career and still be honest about who they are.?The events will include a dinner Friday night to honour the inductees at a ceremony at the Center on Halsted and an event on Saturday at Wrigley Field called ?Out at Wrigley,Nikon ???,? which organizers says is the largest ?Gay Day? at a major league sporting event.Louganis, who was attending the 2013 World Aquatics Championships in Barcelona, will not be in attendance Friday,KOBE LEBRON ?, but expressed gratitude for being included with the groundbreaking group of inductees.?It?s an honour to be included with that group because of the things they?ve done and what they have stood for,http://www.japanwholesalegroup.com/AIR%20MAX-4704/,? he said. ?I?m very flattered.?Executive Director Bill Gubrud said the decision to establish what he says is the country?s first hall of fame honouring gay athletes and their supporters is not tied to Collins? announcement earlier this year. He said factors such as changing attitudes about homosexuals,????? ???, particularly among young people, made him and others think this was the ideal time to create an institution that honours the contributions that gays have made in sports as well as the hardships many endured because of their sexual orientation.Among those being inducted is the late Glenn Burke. An outfielder with the Oakland Athletics and the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 1970s, Burke is widely believed to have delivered the first high-five. Though he did not publicly come out until two years after he left baseball,RICOH ???, Burke maintained until he died of complications due to AIDS in 1995 that he was run out of the game by ?prejudiced and homophobic? managers and front offices that knew he was gay.?This will help preserve history,???? ??,? said Gubrud. ?You are not going to know where to go if you don?t know where you?ve been and many in the gay community don?t know Glenn Burke.?Gubrud also said that a number of the inductees who are not gay are being recognized for having ?helped create safe environment for LGBTs to compete in sports at every level.? Among those is Ben Cohen, an English rugby player. ?He founded a foundation to stop bullying against LGBTs,Sennheiser ????,? Gubrud said.Gubrud said Chicago was chosen to be hall of fame?s home for a number of reasons, starting with the city?s place as a major gay tourist destination. Also, he said, ?Chicago is one of the most gay-friendly cities in the United States.?He also said the Cubs hold a special place in the gay community, explaining that it was the Cubs more than a decade ago that became the first professional sports team to place an ad in a gay newspaper.Gubrud said a site for the actual hall of fame has not been selected,http://www.japandomainwholesale.com/MUNITIO%20-2430/, but that organizers are in the process of putting together a plan to raise money and find a building.???????:

il 02/09/2013 @ 14:29 | Who would have guessed that Apple would become the standard-bearer for traditional desktop computing? Put away its beautiful new design and the new iMac is mostly an iterative update. Granted, it's an iteration of , but there's little in Apple's new all-in-one that we couldn't have predicted. The Intel "Ivy Bridge" third-gen Core CPU, Nvidia's most recent graphics chip, larger default memory -- all of the iMac's new components come from the 2012 PC trend line. Yes, Apple added Fusion, its own take on hybrid hard-drive technology. It also pared away the iMac's optical drive, and added a few design tweaks on top of the new chassis. None of that fundamentally changes the way you will use the iMac. For many people, the iMac's absent touch screen will be a positive, or at least not a negative. What they really care about is that this system is fast (it is that), good-looking (also that),http://www.japanwholesalegroup.com/BLAZER-4706/, and comes with sufficient features for its price (and mostly that, too) -- in other words, everything we traditionally look for in a new computer. The new 27-inch iMac is an easy recommendation. For those who need or simply want a fast computer with a large, gloriously crisp display, the iMac -- even our jumped-up, $2,599 review model -- delivers. If you want your PC to be something else -- an organizational kiosk,BOSE ????, a home entertainment hub -- you'd be better served by another, more broadly ambitious desktop. DesignFirst I loved the new iMac when Apple unveiled it at a press event this past October. Then I felt deceived by Apple's presentation of it. The pictures during the new iMac's unveiling made the new design appear completely flat,SONY ????, an impossibly thin triumph of manufacturing. In person, a bulging rear panel betrays the promise of thinness. Apple shows the truth of the iMac's chassis in a few images on its Web site, but it's hard to shake that disappointment when you realize the new iMac is not quite as thin as Apple has made it out to be. I was prepared to bring that scorn along with me into this review, but it didn't last. Bulge or no, the new design simply looks fantastic. For one, the back is tapered in such a way that you can stand 60 to 75 degrees off-center and the iMac still only looks as thin as its 5-millimeter edge. Even when you take notice of the round back portion, the curve comes across as graceful. I still find that Apple's "thin iMac" marketing has a certain disingenuous tang,http://www.japandomainwholesale.com/Final%20Audio%20Design-2458/. That doesn't change the fact that this is a beautifully designed computer. Along with revitalizing the new iMac's profile, Apple has also taken noticeable steps to minimize the reflectivity of the iMac's notoriously glossy screen. Apple credits a new process for attaching the display glass to the chassis, and also a new method of applying the antireflective coating for the improvement. The benefits are immediately apparent if you set the iMac up next to other large-screen monitors. Compared with both the and Apple's own , the new iMac's screen is significantly less reflective. It's not perfect, but any reflections are subtler. Image editors, or anyone who needs to use the iMac for close-in detail work, will welcome Apple's new approach ("I would use this display," said Lori Grunin, our camera editor). The last major design note in the new iMac comes by way of its memory access port. The thin design means Apple had to relocate memory slot access to the rear of the system. To open the port, you need to remove the power cable, push a button above the plug input, and then pull off a plastic cover. The mechanism has a surprisingly tough design. I needed to use a pen to push the button in far enough to eject the port cover. I see no real harm here, though. It's accessible enough, and you won't replace the memory so often that the port design would really get in your way.
