The Forestry Commission is a non-ministerial government department responsible for forestry in England and Scotland (on 1 April 2013 Forestry Commission Wales merged with other agencies to become Natural Resources Wales[2]). It was set up in 1919 to expand Britain's forests and woodland after depletion during the First World War. To do this the commission bought large amounts of former agricultural land, eventually becoming the largest land owner in Britain. The Commission is divided into three divisions: Forestry Commission England, Forestry Commission Scotland, and Forest Research. Forestry Commission Scotland reports to the Scottish Government.
Over time the purpose of the Commission broadened to include many other activities beyond timber production. One major activity is scientific research, some of which is carried out in research forests across Britain. Recreation is also important, with several outdoor activities being actively promoted. Protecting and improving biodiversity across Britain's forests are both part of the Forestry Commission's remit.
The Commission received criticism for its reliance on conifers, particularly the uniform appearance of conifer forests and concerns over a lack of biodiversity. Protests from the general public and conservation groups accompanied attempts to privatise the organisation in 1993 and 2010.
The Forestry Commission manages almost 700,000 hectares (about 1.7 million acres) of land in England and Scotland, making it the country's biggest land manager.[3] The majority of the land (70%) is in Scotland, 30% of the landholding is in England.[4] Activities carried out on the forest estate include maintenance and improvement of the natural environment and the provision of recreation, timber harvesting to supply domestic industry, regenerating brownfield and replanting of harvested areas.
Afforestation was the main reason for the creation of the commission in 1919. Britain had only 5% of its original forest cover left and the government at that time wanted to create a strategic resource of timber.[5] Since then forest coverage has doubled and the commission's remit expanded to include greater focus on sustainable forest management and maximising public benefits. Woodland creation continues to be an important role of the commission, however, and works closely with government to achieve its goal of 12% forest coverage by 2060,[6] championing initiatives such as The Big Tree Plant and Woodland Carbon Code.
The Forestry Commission is also the government body responsible for the regulation of private forestry; felling is generally illegal without first obtaining a licence from the Commission.[7] The Commission is also responsible for encouraging new private forest growth and development. Part of this role is carried out by providing grants in support of private forests and woodlands.
The Forestry Commission was established as part of the Forestry Act 1919.[5] The board was initially made up of eight forestry commissioners and was chaired by Simon Fraser, 14th Lord Lovat from 1919 to 1927.[8] The commission was set up to increase the amount of woodland in Britain by buying land for afforestation and reforestation.[5] The commission was also tasked with promoting forestry and the production of timber for trade.[9] During the 1920s the Commission focused on acquiring land to begin planting out new forests; much of the land was previously used for agricultural purposes.[5] During the Great Depression the Forestry Commission's estate continued to grow so that it was just over 360,000 hectares of land by 1934.[5] The low cost of land, and the need to increase timber production meant that by 1939 the Forestry Commission was the largest landowner in Britain.[10]
At the outbreak of the Second World War the Forestry Commission was split into the Forest Management Department, to continue with the Commission's duties, and the Timber Supply Department to produce enough timber for the war effort.[5] This division lasted until 1941, when the Timber Supply Department was absorbed by the Ministry of Supply.[11] Much of the timber supplied for the war came from the New Forest and the Forest of Dean.[5] The war also saw the Commission introduce the licensing system for tree felling.[5] By the end of the war approximately a third of available timber had been cut down and used.[10]
The advisory committee on Forest Research was formed in 1929 to guide the research efforts of the Forestry Commission.[12] After the war, the Commission began to increase its research output significantly.[5] This included the establishment of three research stations beginning with Alice Holt Lodge in 1946.[13] The expansion in research accompanied a significant increase in timber sales, exceeding £2 million per year during the 1950s.[5]
The Countryside Act 1968 required public bodies, including the Forestry Commission, to "have regard to the desirability of conserving the natural beauty and amenity of the countryside."[14] This forced the Commission to focus on conservation and recreation as well as the production and sale of timber. The conservation effort was partly driven by Peter Garthwaite[15] and Sylvia Crowe. Crowe also helped the Commission landscape their forests to make them more appropriate for recreational use.[5]
Having begun to develop campsites within their forests during the early 1960s,[16] the Commission set up a Forest Cabins Branch during the 1970s to expand the number of cabins available for the public to stay in during their holidays.[5] In 1970 the Commission opened its Northern research station in Roslin.[17] The 1970s also saw the publication of a Treasury report which stated "afforestation ... and replanting fell far short of achieving the official 10% return on investment" with concerns over the long term profitability of timber production.[10] This was coupled with a major outbreak of Dutch elm disease throughout the decade.[5]
The early 1980s recession forced the Forestry Commission to expand its sales beyond Britain, exports quickly reached 500,000 tonnes of timber per year.[5] The Forestry Act 1981 allowed the sale of Commission land that was used for forestry.[18] By 1986 there were calls for the full privatisation of the Forestry Commission and its estate.[19][20] The Great Storm of 1987 caused significant damage to Commission owned forests, though most of the downed trees were recovered and eventually sold.[21]
The early 1990s saw the Department of Forestry absorb the Forest Authority from the Commission, which had previously acted as a separate government department.[11] The management of the forest estate became the responsibility of Forest Enterprise, making up a major part of the reduced Forestry Commission.[22] In 1993 it was again suggested that the Forestry Commission could be privatised, sparking protest from many conservation groups.[11][23] After the Forestry Review Group produced their report in 1994, it was announced by the government that "Forestry Commission woodlands will remain in the public sector".[11]
The decline in timber sales since the mid-1990s forced the Commission to focus on research and recreation more than ever before, something that was encouraged by the Government.[10] As a result the Forestry Commission began to expand woodland around urban areas for the first time.[10]
Devolution meant the Forestry Commission had to report to the Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly as well as the national Government. This was achieved by splitting responsibility for forests by national borders, resulting in the creation of Forestry Commission England, Scotland and Wales as sub-departments of the Forestry Commission of Great Britain.[24] On 1 April 2013 Forestry Commission Wales was merged into Natural Resources Wales, and since that date the Forestry Commission has only been responsible for English and Scottish forests.
In October 2010, the Government introduced the Public Bodies Bill to The House of Lords,[25] which would have enabled the Secretary of State to sell or lease public forests in England.[26][27] According to The Guardian, "the news [was] met with near-universal disgust and shock".[28] The same newspaper also quoted Caroline Lucas MP, leader of the Green Party of England and Wales, as saying it was an "unforgivable act of environmental vandalism". An online petition opposing the sale received more than 500,000 signatories.[29] In February 2011, after a sustained campaign of protest by groups such as the Ramblers, Save Our Woods and Hands off our Forest, the government announced it had abandoned its current plans and would remove the forestry clauses from the Public Bodies Bill. An 'independent panel' was also established to advise on the future direction of forestry and woodland policy in England, and on the role of the Forestry Commission.[30][31][32] The panel's interim report in late 2011 suggested that the government had ignored the benefits of publicly owned forests.[33]
The Forestry Commission's social concern
The Forestry Commission had for half a century a most interesting social policy which has had a large impact on upland Britain, but is rarely considered nowadays.[34] Integral to the Acland Report of 1916, which led to the setting up of the Forestry Commission immediately after the war, was the wider social concern. Large areas of upland Britain, it pointed out, were 'waste' and depopulated, and trees would not only increase their productiveness but 'demanded a higher rural population' than sheep rearing. They envisaged that 'the small holdings will be grouped together on the best land within or near the forests so as to economise labour in the working of the holdings, ... and to provide an ample supply of ... labour for [forestry] work. Families settled on new holdings in forest areas will be a net addition to the resident rural population'.[35]
This remained the philosophy of the Commission for nearly fifty years. In 1946 the incoming Director General wrote of the employment created and the help of the Commission towards a solution of 'one of the baffling social problems of our time... to draw men and their families "back to the land" and to make the attraction permanent', especially through the smallholdings policy.[36]
Lord Lovat, the 'Father' of the Forestry Commission, had extensive landholdings in Scotland, and it was in the Highlands that he and other Scottish landowners such as Sir John Stirling-Maxwell conceived the scheme of land settlement allied to forestry. As first chairman of the Commission he was able to put into practice all over Britain this 'long cherished dream' of repopulating the hill country, thanks to his good contacts in government. Money for the scheme was promised first by Philip Snowden, Chancellor in the first Labour government, and then by his successor in Baldwin's Conservative administration, Winston Churchill.
The scheme accordingly went ahead, and created smallholdings in the new forests, of approximately ten acres, let for £15 a year. Originally 150 days work was provided in the forests, but "In practice, of course, these smallholdings attracted the cream of our men whom we were glad to employ on fulltime..."[37] Existing and often derelict agricultural dwellings were adapted and new ones built to a small number of basic designs. The scheme "was never a directly economic proposition, but in the pre-war days when motor traffic was lacking and it was much more important than today to have a solid caucus of skilled woodmen [sic] living in the forests, the indirect benefits were inestimable. The holdings were a great success, and filled a genuine need in the countryside..."[38]
The number of smallholdings built up until 1931, slowed down after the Great Depression, was revived by the Special Areas programme of 1934 onwards, but the creation of new holdings was virtually ended by the Second World War. The total number of smallholdings was 1511. After 1945 policy shifted to the building of houses without holdings. This was more economic for the Commission, and numbers of these peaked in 1955, with 2688 cottages built by then. The smallholdings policy had been 'adequate during the early years of State forest development, when only a small nucleus of men was needed to plant and tend each forest. But expanding programmes of afforestation, new methods of fire protection, and above all the greatly increased volume of utilisation work that results as soon as the young woods reach the thinning stage, have made it essential, in most of the larger forests, to concentrate the building of new houses in villages or small community groups.'[39] With houses designed for head foresters, the peak year for all forest tenancies was 1958, with the Commission owning a total of 4627 properties.[40]
Many of the more ambitious forest villages were never completed, partly because of their isolation, partly through financial restrictions, and partly because mechanisation, transport improvements, and more use of contract labour, all meant there was less need for staff houses. The social desirability of "company villages" in remote locations was questioned.[41]
Some houses had been sold on the open market by 1972, when government policy encouraged the disposal of 'surplus' land and buildings because of the cost of the traditional social objectives.[42] The gradual sale of housing to incomers became a flood in 1978-9 (under Labour), and the Thatcher administration then encouraged surviving tenants to buy with generous discounts.[43]
Although the social policy of the Forestry Commission is a thing of the past, its social impact on upland areas remains large, with many hamlets and small villages in what would otherwise be deserted or near deserted valleys.[44]
Organisational structure
The Forestry Commission is governed by a Board of Commissioners made up of a chairperson and up to ten Forestry Commissioners.[45] The Director England (Ian Gambles) and the Head of Forestry Commission Scotland (Jo O'Hara) make up two of these Commissioners. These Directors are appointed by the Queen. An Executive Board works with the Commissioners to handle the strategic management of the Forestry Commission.[46]
In 2003 separate Forestry Commissions for England, Scotland and Wales were established, but on 1 April 2013, Forestry Commission Wales became part of Natural Resources Wales. There are now separate Commissions for England and Scotland. This division assists the Commission with reporting to, and acting on the policies of, the devolved authorities. Cross-border issues can be dealt with by the Forestry Commission as a whole and are under the leadership of the Director Central Services (Jean Lindsay). Director Scotland and Director England are part of their own National Committees, which oversee the implementation of policies as they relate to the devolved authorities.[47]
Forestry Commission England reports to the Westminster Parliament. Forestry Commission Scotland reports to, and receives funding from, the Scottish Parliament.[48] Both are responsible for commercial forestry operations and forest management in their respective nations; Forestry Commission Scotland is also explicitly responsible for the expansion of Scottish forests.[48]
As of 1 April 2013, Forestry Commission Wales has been merged into Natural Resources Wales, a single body delivering the environmental priorities of the Welsh Government.[49] This move was controversial among forestry officials, with worries that the industry's voice will not be adequately heard in the new organisation.[50]
Forest Research
Forest Research is the research agency of the Forestry Commission that undertakes scientific research and surveys. Its core roles are to provide the evidence base for British forestry policies and to identify methods for sustainable forestry management.[51] It also carries out research with, or on behalf of, academic and commercial organisations.[52]
There are three forest research stations run by Forest Research.[53] A research station is located in each of the constituent countries of Great Britain: Alice Holt in England; the Northern research station in Scotland and the smaller Aberystwyth Research Unit in Wales.[53] The Alice Holt research station was the Commission's first research station, established in 1946;[13] it is the main research station of Forest Research.[54] The Northern research station in Midlothian was opened in 1970.[17] In 2009, a smaller research unit was established in Aberystwyth.[55]
Forest Research's Technical Services Unit is run from the Northern Research Station and maintains a network of five field stations to conduct research for the Forestry Commission and other organisations.[56] The Technical Services Unit is also responsible for six satellite stations and the research station nurseries.[56]
In 2006, Forest Research made Alice Holt forest the first research forest in Britain.[57] It was followed by the Dyfi Catchment and Woodland Research Platform, Gwynedd, in 2012.[57] Alice Holt was chosen as a research forest because it has been the base for research by the Forestry Commission since 1946 and over that time the Commission maintained detailed records of the forest and experiments carried out within it.[58]
Until the introduction of the Countryside Act 1968, the main purpose of the Forestry Commission was to maximise timber sales.[14] The act gave the public the right to use much of the forest estate for recreation, this led to the Commission providing additional facilities for the public.[5] Sylvia Crowe was hired as a consultant to identify how to improve the landscape of Commission forests for recreation.[59] The focus on recreation allowed the Forestry Commission to become the largest provider of outdoor recreation in Britain.[60]
The Commission works with various associations involved in rambling, cycling and horse riding to promote the use of its land for recreation. A notable example is the 7stanes project in Scotland where seven purpose built areas of man-made mountain bike trails have been laid; the accessible extensions provide recreational facilities for disabled cyclists.[61] During the summer months, it hosts a series of live music concerts across seven forests.[62]
Early plantations were criticised for their lack of diversity, however the Forestry Commission has been steadily improving the value of its woodlands for wildlife. The large blocks of conifer associated with the earlier plantings were beneficial to some species such as siskin, goldcrest, crossbill, most members of the tit family, long-eared owls, nightjars, roe deer, pine martens and polecats, but the greater emphasis on diversity now favours a much wider range of species, including broadleaved and open ground specialist species.
The Forestry Commission manages approximately 700,000 hectares of land, 70% of which is in Scotland.[63] The largest forest managed by the Commission is Galloway Forest Park in Scotland; at 300 square miles it is also the largest forest in Britain.[64] The Commission also owns Kielder Forest, the largest forest in England.[65]
When the Forestry Commission was founded in 1919 it inherited several forests, some of which were former royal forests and contained ancient woodland.[66] Much of the land bought by the Commission in its early years was intensively planted with conifers.[5] Kielder was one of these "new" forests, having been planted in 1926.[67]
The early reliance on conifers, usually of the same age class and very dark in appearance, led to criticism that the forests appeared too artificial.[68] The Commission was originally given land with poor soil quality, usually in highland areas; conifers were used because they can grow well in such difficult conditions.[69] By the 1960s these trees were almost fully grown and the Forestry Commission received a large number of complaints that their blanket forests were an eyesore.[70]
Since then, landscape improvement has been a key feature of the Forestry Commission's work. All forests are covered by a Forest Design Plan, which aims to balance the different objectives of timber production, landscape amelioration, ecological restoration, recreation provision and other relevant objectives.[71] Forest management is a long term business, with plans frequently extending for a minimum of twenty-five or thirty years into the future.

How will implementation coordinate with emergency response systems?
Implementation will be phased in by municipality in cooperation with the fire districts.
Property owners can begin using their new Uniform Address AFTER their flag-style sign is installed in the ground or they receive their building-mounted sign in the mail.
For safety reasons, the new address should NOT be used until AFTER the date of sign installation/delivery, when E911 services will be synced with the new address.

IBM's continued expanding support of Linux and Open Source projects makes sense given that these platforms and tools provide much of today's connected infrastructure.
One of the largest underlying changes to Windows 8 is the long-overdue shift from BIOS to UEFI. UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) is superior to BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) in almost every way, except for one: At the moment, UEFI prevents Linux distributions from being installed on Windows 8 machines.

Do you have a plan this Halloween? What are you going to do about avoiding the massive quantities of sugar that will be invading your house on Tuesday? I say: "Halloween is one day, it's 24 hours. Don't let it derail your Clean Eating Lifestyle."
Have a piece, let the kids have some but remember its only one day. It's ok to embrace the ghosts and goblins in your life. Try these tips for making your Halloween a happy and healthy one.
5 Blueprint Tips for Halloween:
- Don't buy candy until the day of Halloween. It's worth the wait to make the day special to enjoy a few pieces.
- Buy "REAL FOOD" candy. Buy pure 70% cacao instead of processed milk chocolate. It tastes so much better.
- Feed the kids before they go out. They won't eat as much candy along the trail.
- Limit their intake after Halloween but only for a day or two. If you think there is too much in the house, feel free to throw out or donate the candy. You're in charge and its only candy.
- How long do they need to go out trick-or-treating? The shorter the time, the less the amount they will collect. To make the evening even more special, watch a movie or invite some friends to come over.
The take away:
Practice mindfulness. Use this chance to explore how to be mindful and enjoy the candy. Choose only your favorite candy and then decide where to donate the rest. Of the pieces lingering, enjoy them deliberately. Take time to enjoy each bite. The more you enjoy it, the easier it is to be happy with less.

Tarragona- I went delving into Mohammed Atta and Ramzi bin al-Shibh's mysterious doings in July 2001 here in Spain's fiercely autonomous Catalunya region. After taking a RENFE train down the coast to the ancient Roman city of Tarraco (Tarragona), I spent hours walking and taking train and bus rides as well as asking a lot of street directions, to try and reconstruct Atta's stay here just over 10 years ago. No publication in English that I can find talks about all four of the locales, the only thing I can find is a book by an El Pais journalist which I will now attempt to scour Barcelona to find as a reference tool. This is getting in the minutiae of the road to 9/11 but why did these men need to stay in four hotels in three cities in well under a two week period? Was it a level of spontaneity, disorganization, or was Atta trying to throw any possible interlopers off his trail? We will never be able to know as Atta's remains were atomized in the wreckage of AA11 and the North Tower.
Trying to piece together al-Qaeda's Catalunya summit a decade on is a convoluted, complicated affair. Looking back at so many different books and newspaper articles, no two accounts of this period in Atta's timeline are identical (as with most of the timelines of the 9/11 actors I have looked into). One of the key questions is a gap of approximately four days between when he checked in at the Monica in Cambrils and then checked in at the Sant Jordi further north in Tarragona proper. He then went to Salou which lies between Cambrils and Tarragona. Some sources suggest Atta and bin al-Shibh stayed in an al-Qaeda safehouse in the unaccounted for interim as Spanish and American authorities were unable to find hotel records for the two AQ men between July 9-13, 2001. What most want to know is whether or not Atta and bin al-Shibh met some of the key Syrian and/or Maghrebi AQ facilitators here.

How Much Can Dietary Changes and Food Production Practices Help Mitigate Climate Change?
Last week, the International Panel on Climate Change, the United Nations body for assessing scientific research related to climate change, released a Summary for Policymakers of the Special Report on Climate Change and Land. This summary outlines ways current land management practices contribute to global climate change and explores potential paths toward better land management that can help mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and improve land sustainability.
Agriculture, forestry, and other types of land use account for 23 percent of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, according to the IPCC. To tackle such impacts, the IPCC included one idea that's popping up more and more: a wide-scale shift to plant-based diets featuring sustainably produced foods.
"Balanced diets featuring plant-based foods, such as coarse grains, legumes, fruits and vegetables, and animal-sourced food produced sustainably in low greenhouse gas emission systems, present major opportunities for adaptation to and limiting climate change," Debra Roberts, co-chair of IPCC Working Group II, said in a press release. (In the summary of the report, the IPCC acknowledges that factors like financial barriers and cultural habits may influence the adoption of such diets.)
But how much difference can such choices really make? A wealth of research supports the idea that adopting a low- or no-meat diet is a significant way to lower an individual's greenhouse gas footprint. The IPCC report cites data showing that livestock production accounts for the greatest portion of ice-free land on Earth's surface, and contributed to over half of anthropogenic nitrous oxide emissions in 2014.
While there is limited data available that can confidently measure the expansion of the meatless population, societal indicators like the double-digit sales growth of plant-based food options between 2014 and 2017 reflect a growing consumer demand for vegan and vegetarian foods. Still, an analysis by Animal Charity Evaluators found that between 2 and 6 percent of Americans self-identify as vegetarians, and only 1 percent of Americans self-identify as vegetarians and report never consuming meat.
"The fundamental problem with climate change is that it's a collective problem, but it rises out of lots of individual decisions. Society's challenge is to figure out how we can influence those decisions in a way that generates a more positive collective outcome," says Keith Wiebe, senior research fellow at the International Food Policy Research Institute.*
Wiebe argues that policy has limited potential to influence individual dietary choices. He sees a tax on meat, for instance, as a blunt tool that doesn't take into account the nuance of people's varied dietary needs. Such a tax also wouldn't necessarily sway a wealthy consumer from buying meat because food is already a relatively small portion of their expenses, and a small price increase makes little difference to them, he says.
Something that has a greater influence, Wiebe says, is generational social change. He notes, for example, how car ownership, which was a hallmark of independence and freedom when he was young, has declined greatly in his children's generation. Fewer young people need or want cars. Similarly, young people today are much more tuned in to global concerns like climate change than Wiebe's generation was, he said. This fact is visible through the worldwide participation in youth climate strikes earlier this year.
"These types of generational changes can have a big impact well beyond anything that would come out of a policy measure or an educational system that would tell you how to change your behavior," he says.
David Festa, senior vice president for ecosystems for the Environmental Defense Fund, argues that placing too much emphasis on individual dietary choices oversimplifies the highly complex system of agriculture. Instead of thinking just about what they eat, more people should be thinking about and having conversations about how their food is produced and what it means to produce food in a sustainable way, he says.
For farmers, sustainable food production has to do with things like soil health, groundwater, and fertilizer efficiency. If farmers build the health of their soil rather than strip it of its nutrients, manage water without depleting underground aquifers, and use fertilizer in a way that avoids pollution of water and air, then that will ultimately increase crop yields, Festa says.
Consumer demand is one of four important variables that, when combined, can influence and shape farming practices, according to Festa. The other three are the culture of farming communities, governmental policies, and the economic system that drives farming. The rise of organic farming exemplifies how these factors can come together: Consumers want organic food, the United States Department of Agriculture has issued policy standards for it, farmers have grown comfortable in their communities turning to organic practices, and there's an economic incentive for farmers to grow organic in the form of price premiums. Festa argues that this is why organic farming in the U.S. saw a 56 percent increase between 2011 and 2016.
To Festa, the success of the organic movement is an indicator that people already care about the nuances of how their food is manufactured or grown, and those conversations will lead to more effective, sustainable change than simply urging people to do something like stop eating meat or adopt new dietary guidelines: "You get more traction with people [by] instead of saying 'Don't do this,' say[ing]: 'Hey, ask how your beef was produced. Find out more about that. Learn about that.'"
While Wiebe says policy changes can have limited influence on consumer dietary choices, Festa says those changes are, in fact, making a big difference for sustainable production. For instance, as a part of the 2018 farm bill, the USDA now provides grants to farmers to incentivize them to adopt practices like no-till and cover crops, which researchers have found help keep carbon in the soil rather than releasing it in the air, improve overall soil health, and increase crop yields.
"Policies that support sustainable land management, ensure the supply of food for vulnerable populations, and keep carbon in the ground while reducing greenhouse gas emissions are important," Eduardo Calvo, co-chair of the Task Force on National Greenhouse Gas Inventories, said in the IPCC press release.
Given the state of our global climate, scientists, policymakers, farmers, and individual consumers will inevitably keep thinking about how they can do their part to decrease greenhouse gas emissions and improve the sustainability of our land and our food supply. Wiebe points out that, as more organizations like the IPCC promote diets rich in plant-based foods, it's important to consider the implications of such a large-scale diet shift on the environment—something nobody has yet researched or projected, he says.
"Some of the dietary recommendations talk about getting more protein from nuts, for example," Wiebe says. "If all of a sudden seven billion people double their consumption of ground nuts or almonds or other types of nuts, that's going to have a big impact on land use going to those crops that we really haven't looked at yet."
*Update—August 16th, 2019: This post has been updated with the correct spelling of Keith Wiebe's name and to clarify his position on policy's potential to influence individual dietary choices.

In the fall of 1957, New York City's baseball fans suffered the departures of their beloved Giants and Brooklyn Dodgers for the West Coast. But then the Metropolitans came along in 1962, providing an alternative to the New York Yankees juggernaut. This summer marks the Mets' golden birthday, and to celebrate, the organization will announce the roster of its all-time team on Sunday 17 at the 92nd Street Y's program The 50th Anniversary of the Mets. Legendary figures—such as Hall of Fame pitcher Tom Seaver, first baseman and current broadcast analyst Keith Hernandez, and SNY play-by-play announcer Gary Cohen—will be on hand to anoint athletes from the inaugural '62 squad to current players, as well as members of both the 1969 and 1986 World Series–winning teams.
One player expected to be called up at the event is current third baseman David Wright. The Mets selected the Norfolk, Virginia, native and lifelong Amazin's fan with a first-round pick in the 2001 draft. Now, at 29, Wright is the organization's all-time leader in run production (nearly 760 RBIs as of press time), and is in the midst of a career year—he's been atop the league leaderboards in batting average, on-base percentage and RBIs since opening day. Though he couldn't disclose whether he'll appear at the event, Wright did take time in between batting practice and a Tuesday evening game against the Phillies to talk about the ups and downs of being a high-profile athlete in New York, his favorite Broadway shows and his go-to after-hours sushi spot.
When you first came to the majors in 2004, what did you expect the atmosphere in New York to be like?
I was 21. The only time I'd been in New York before being called up [from the minors] was to sign my contract out of high school, so I didn't really know what to expect. You always hear about the electricity and the energy this city has, but to experience it firsthand the way I did, I think there was nothing you could do to prepare yourself.
Was there a particular sight or event that blew you away?
I tried to spend as much time here during the winter as I could. [New York] can be somewhat of a culture shock, so I tried to soak it in and enjoy as much as I could, and kind of dive headfirst into New York culturally. Going to my first Broadway [show] and then the Christmas Spectacular at Radio City, concerts at the Garden and other sporting events. On any given night, there's so much to do in this city.
What were some of the first shows you attended here?
Jersey Boys was one of the first. I enjoyed that. Concerts, I've seen Dave Matthews, Rascal Flatts…just recently we went to Darius Rucker and Lady Antebellum at Radio City. I love all different types of music and genres.
Do you remember when people first viewed you as a big deal?
I think the first few times you're recognized, it's shocking. Seeing kids wear your jersey and T-shirts with your name on it is still very cool. That's the ultimate compliment.
In 2006, the Mets made it to the postseason for the first time since 2000. What was the experience like for you?
[I have] tons of memories from Little League on Saturday morning, and the next best [are from] playoff baseball in 2006. Running out on the field for the first time, you looked up at old Shea Stadium, and you literally saw the upper deck shaking from people jumping up and down and chanting. That's probably the greatest thrill I've had on a baseball field.
Athletes often talk about being kings of the city when their team is doing well. Is that how it feels during a hot streak?
This city is a baseball city. Fans get so into it. They know what you're batting, they know who's pitching tonight. You walk down the street, and people are talking about specific games and specific plays. The fans are just so knowledgeable about what's going on [in] real time. I get a hit today, and tomorrow, somebody walking out in the street will congratulate me on the hit.
Have you had a particularly memorable encounter with a fan?
Well, there are millions of hitting coaches out there. You have a bad game or go through a bad stretch, and walking down the street, you've got dozens of different [opinions]. I always get a kick out of it and smile, because that's how passionate the fans are about the game. They watch the games so intently that they think they know your swing, and a lot of them probably do. They wanna be the person that breaks you out of that little slump.
Where do you go when you don't want to be scrutinized?
I'm always looking to go out and find a new restaurant that I like or a cool place just to relax a little bit. I'm somewhat of a private person, so I'm not much of a guy that goes out and has real late nights, but I'm always on the lookout for a place to hang out and take a deep breath.
Any particular restaurant you've been impressed with lately?
I love sushi, and there's a place over on First Avenue, Sushi Seki (1143 First Ave between 62nd and 63rd Sts, 212-371-0238), that works for our schedule because it's open late. So if we have a late game, we'll go in there.
THE WRIGHT STUFF The 50th Anniversary of the Mets, 92nd Street Y, 1395 Lexington Ave between 91st and 92nd Sts (212-415-5500, 92y.org). Sun 17 at 8pm; sold out. SNY will broadcast the event June 21 at 7pm.

Home > Care & Treatment > Parkinson's Disease & Movement Disorders > 'Little Angels' Help Parkinson's Patient Get Moving Again
Published on September 29, 2014
Eddie Taylor and his wife, Sandra, have been married for 45 years. He was an active man who exercised regularly, ran a lawn service and enjoyed playing with his great-grandson.
A few years ago, Sandra noticed that Eddie's arms weren't swinging when he walked. Eddie began to shake, but he thought he was just cold. When he was referred to a neurologist, the cause of these changes was identified right away as Parkinson's disease. Eddie became depressed. He worried about it, couldn't sleep and lost 31 pounds. He couldn't move, walk or bathe, and he could barely talk. He even experienced thoughts of suicide.
Eddie also began to develop back pain and was receiving treatment by physical therapist Lawrie Beardsley at Cone Health Outpatient Rehab. Lawrie knew about our Neurorehabilitation Center's therapy specialists for Parkinson's disease and suggested they could help him. Soon after that, Eddie met his "three little angels," Amy Marriott, Angela Freeman and Carl Schinke. Within two weeks, Eddie said they got him moving, and he got his hope back.
Eddie worked twice a week with his "little angels" in physical, occupational and speech therapy. It built his confidence. He learned exercises that helped him walk better and return to his everyday activities. Now that he has graduated from his therapies, he exercises four days a week with Sandra right alongside him. On Monday and Thursday, he walks a mile. On Tuesday and Friday, he goes to the YMCA and uses the glider, the bike and does 200 crunches. Every day he devotes 90 minutes to the various exercises his "little angels" taught him.
Eddie no longer likes to stay home. "I can walk anywhere," he says. If Sandra is going out, he doesn't want to be left behind. Back in the days when Eddie was depressed, he worried that Sandra would leave him. Instead, they are thinking about renewing their vows in October, when they reach their 46th anniversary.

The HBO Succession has seen huge success and popularity along with its theme song "Puppets" composed by Nicholas Britell. Pusha T is recruited for the official remix. He told Vulture about the remix
"The greed, the resentment, the idea anybody is basically disposable — that's a gangsta movie type of quality". On Succession, it's involving family, it's like, Whoa! It's a bit more shocking. And so that's what made the writing process fun, because I could use all of the street, gangster rap nuances and qualities and energy and incorporate it into the theme of the music. It was really just a dope exercise, honestly."

With falling leaves and dropping temperatures, one thing is for sure; ski season is right around the corner. According to Dr. Stuart Styles of Somer Orthopedic Surgery and Sports Medicine Group, "Few sports are as physically demanding as downhill skiing," yet many skiers don't properly train for this winter activity.
According to Dr. Styles, the most common injuries involve the knees, shoulders, and head. Strengthening the muscles around these joints and improving one's balance can help prevent many of these injuries. It is also wise to train the muscles while performing similar motions to those performed when skiing.
A few exercises can help you get ready for the slopes:
1. Perform squats on a Bosu trainer or dyna Disc to help strengthen the knees while improving balance. Use two Bosu's or Discs, one under each foot, at first and progress to using one Bosu or Dyna disc for both feet.
2. Perform single leg squats for more advanced strength and balance training. Once you have mastered the form, then try squats on a Bosu trainer or Dyna Disc.
3. Incorporate shoulder exercises by adding an overhead press or chest push out while holding a squat.
If you're unsure about conditioning exercises or need extra motivation, seek out a qualified personal trainer. Pre-season training before hitting the powder will help you be ready for a long and snowy winter.

Must the tank be empty in order to install a Yaktek gauge?
No. Because the gauges are mounted on the tank roof, there's no need to enter the tank.
Will high wind effect a Yaktek tank gauge?
It's possible, but unlikely. The Levetator is relatively heavy aluminum die-casting, and the indicator doesn't move that much. In most cases, wind is not a problem. If your tank site is exposed to extremely high winds, a wind guard made of 4-inch PVC sewer and drain pipe, which is readily available from hardware stores, or a sheet metal channel can eliminate any problems. In consistently windy areas, we suggest that you choose the Liquidator 2, because the indicator is captive on the pipe and is unaffected by high wind.
Must the gauge be mounted near the manhole?
The Levetator and Liquidator can be mounted anywhere on the tank roof. However if mounting without entering the tank is desired, the gauge must be placed near a manhole or large opening of some kind. Please note that these level gauges fit tanks as tall as 10ft high. If you have a taller tank, please call to allow us to place a custom order for you.
Will my tank's steep roof cause a problem?
Not at all. These high-quality gauges may can be mounted on roofs as steep as 45 degrees.
How much maintenance do these tank gauges require?
Two important qualities of Yaktek level gauges: they're tough and require minimal maintenance. We suggest you check your gauge occasionally to ensure that it is moving freely. Remove any dust buildup, spider webs or wasp nests it may have acquired. Dust and dirt could restrict the gauge's proper movement. If necessary, use a spray of water to clean the gauge, but never lubricate it with oil, which would attract additional dust and dirt.
How long will the gauge's cord last?
As long as the gauge is mounted properly and the cord doesn't touch or chafe on the roof of the tank, it can last indefinitely. The original polyester cords on many Levetators are still on the job after 15 years of accurate readings.
These FAQs apply to the Levetator, Liquidator and Liquidator 2.

Background Platelet-derived growth factorCBB (PDGF-BB) is usually highly portrayed in the renal tissues of individuals with diabetic nephropathy, and it plays a significant role in the initiation and progression of diabetic nephropathy. rats. Nevertheless, PCE markedly decreased albuminuria Irinotecan supplier in the diabetic rats. PCE inhibited -SMA and PCNA up-regulation and ameliorated PDGF-BB and PEGFR-? proteins manifestation in the diabetic rats. Furthermore, the binding of PDGF-BB/PDGFR-? was inhibited by PCE as demonstrated by an assay. Conclusions These outcomes claim that PCE comes with an inhibitory influence on mesangial proliferation in diabetic renal cells via the inhibition from the conversation of PDGF-BB using its receptor. PCE may possess beneficial results in avoiding the development of diabetic nephropathy.

This plant in addition has been used to regulate dental disease in Korea [12]. In traditional Chinese language medicine, continues to be used because of its anti-diabetic, antibacterial properties [13C15]. Lately, it's been reported an natural formulation including of avoided hepatic fibrosis by reducing the manifestation of transforming development factor-beta (TGF-?) and -soft muscle tissue actin (-SMA) [16]. The overall knowledge of the pathogenic elements resulting in renal fibrosis in diabetic nephropathy individuals has considerably extended, as well as the systems concerning TGF-? and -SMA have already been found to make a difference towards the advancement of Irinotecan supplier diabetic renal fibrosis [17C19]. Consequently, with this research, we looked into the protective aftereffect of an ethanol draw out of (PCE) against renal damage and fibrosis in STZ-induced diabetic rats. Strategies Planning of was bought from a industrial provider in Jung-dong, Daejeon, Korea, in November 2008 and determined by Prof. Ju Han Kim in the Division of Existence Sciences, Gachon College or university. A voucher specimen was transferred in the Herbarium from the Diabetic Problem Research Group, Korea Institute of Oriental Medication (KIOM). The dried out and ground vegetable materials (6.8?kg) was extracted with ethanol (3??36?L) by maceration in room temp for 3?times, as well as the components were combined and concentrated in 40C to generate lyophilized PCE (580?g). Pets and induction of diabetes The tests were Irinotecan supplier performed relative to the Country wide Institutes of Wellness (NIH) Guidebook for the Treatment and Usage of Lab Animals and authorized by the Korea Institute of Oriental Medication Institutional Animal Treatment and Make use of Committee. Inside our research, six-week-old man SD rats bought through the Charles River Lab (Waltham, MA, USA) had been acclimated for 1?week before the research. Our research was initiated using 8-week-old man SD rats (weighting, ~200?g), that have been monitored for 16?weeks. Diabetes was induced in the rats by an individual shot of streptozotocin (STZ, 60?mg/kg, we.p.). Age-matched control rats received the same volume of automobile (0.01?M citrate buffer, pH?4.5). Two times after the shot, a blood test was collected through the ratil vein to gauge the blood sugar level. Rats having a blood sugar level over 300?mg/dl were considered diabetic rats. At 8?weeks old, the rats were randomly assigned to 1 of four organizations (n?=?8). PCE was dissolved in automobile (0.5% w/v carboxyl methylcellulose solution) to a concentration of 50?mg/ml. Two sets of STZ-induced diabetic rats received daily gastric gavage of PCE (100 and 350?mg/kg), as well as the additional organizations were administered the same quantity of automobile gavage for 16?weeks. Blood sugar levels and bodyweight were supervised consecutively. Metabolic and morphological analyses After 16?weeks of treatment, blood sugar was measured using an automated analyzer (Hitachi, Tokyo, Japan). Bloodstream samples were gathered through the tail vein after a 16-h fast. Person rats Irinotecan supplier were put into metabolic cages to acquire 24-h urine choices, and urinary albumin excretion amounts were measured utilizing a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent ELISA assay package based on the producers manual (Existence Diagnostics, Inc., PA, USA). Rat albumin within the urine test was captured by an anti-rat albumin antibody that were pre-adsorbed for the areas of microtiter.

The Lindale Independent School District board of trustees voted Monday night to join more than 300 school districts in the Texas Taxpayer and Student Fairness Coalition-Equity Center lawsuit filed against the state.
The lawsuit, filed in October, is in response to the Texas legislature's more than $4 billion cuts to school funding. The goal of the lawsuit is to push reform for the state's current funding system in order to begin a new means to fairly distribute resources to districts, adjust for varying costs of educating students of all needs and vary operating costs of districts of different classifications (rural versus urban). The lawsuit addresses state property tax, adequacy and suitability, student equity, target revenue, tax payer equity and equal protection.
"Lindale ISD, like most districts, wants an efficient and equitable funding system for public schools," Superintendent Stan Surratt said. "Lindale ISD is below the state average in terms of revenue per student. Also, the current funding system designed by the legislature has major issues in adequacy and future capacity. We want to see this changed."
LISD trustees first examined joining the lawsuit as part of the business discussion at the October 10 meeting. LISD school board president Brig. Gen. James K. "Red" Brown was not present at Monday night's meeting but Surratt said Brown had discussed the litigation with the school district's attorneys and recommended the district participate. With Gen. Brown's recommendation, trustees approved the contribution of $1 per Weighted Average Daily Attendance (WADA) for the lawsuit by a vote of 6-0.
Lindale ISD joins several schools from East Texas in the equity lawsuit including Tyler ISD, Bullard ISD and Van ISD. There are currently three school finance lawsuits against the state.
"In the past, most major reform and improvement in school funding has come about due to school districts filing lawsuits in the state. This is not the first time this has happened. Our goal is to prompt and motivate legislators to address the funding crisis that schools are facing."

Senator Thompson Secures Funding For Statue Of David Plaque
For Immediate Release
Contact: Heather Zeisz | firstname.lastname@example.com | 716.854.8705
Buffalo, NY- New York State Senator Antoine M. Thompson will be holding a plaque dedication ceremony for the Statue of David along with Mayor Byron Brown and the Federation of Italian-American Societies of WNY. The plaque dedication will be held today, September 8, 2009 at the base of the David Statue in Delaware Park at 4:30 pm. A reception with refreshments will immediately follow at the Marcy Casino on Hoyt Lake in Delaware Park.
"I am pleased that I was able to secure funding for the new plaque on the Statue of David so that it reflects the accurate information," stated Senator Thompson.
The statue of David in Delaware Park is one of only two bronze casts from the original statue in Italy. The Federation has worked to create a bronze plaque with the spelling of the statue's creator spelled correctly in Italian "Michelangelo" and not "Michael Angelo" as it currently stands. His dates of birth and death were also incorrect on the plaque and will be changed from 1474 to 1475. The plaque will cover the current lettering on the base. There will be no removal of existing lettering.
"This has been a long standing issue in the Italian-American community and we celebrate this event and thank Mayor Byron Brown for his great support, and Senator Antoine Thompson who secured the funding for the plaque," said Peter Lojacono, President Federation of Italian-American Societies of WNY.

Airborne Technology Ventures – parent company of Montreal's Airborne Mobile – announced the appointment of mobile industry entrepreneur Skuli Mogensen to its Board of Directors today. In conjunction with this appointment, Mr. Mogensen will invest $500K in Airborne as an add-on to the recent $2 Million invested by iNovia Capital. This additional infusion of capital will be used to advance mobile media projects.
Mogensen was the founder and CEO of OZ Communications – a mobile email and instant messaging provider that sold last year to Nokia. Mogensen has a history of identifying high-growth businesses and has been actively involved in promoting new and promising products in the technology and telecommunications industries for the past 15 years.
"We are thrilled to be working with Skuli. He has a great deal of experience, and a number of notable achievements, in the mobile industry and is a true telecom vanguard," said Bornstein. "This additional financing will help us leverage innovative new projects, secure notable brand partnerships, sustain the company's impressive growth and continue our legacy of launching inventive and exciting mobile content."
Mogensen has been active of late – in December he invested an undisclosed amount with New York-headquartered and TSX-traded iPerceptions Inc. along with Telesystem Ltd.
