Hundreds seems like an unfathomable amount compared to the mid-1960s when the Peoria Audubon Society began its involvement in the Eagle Nature Founda- tion midwinter count on the Illinois River from Henry to Havana — about 75 eagles per count were the norm back then. “There were no birds when I fi rst started,” Miller said. A little more than 440 eagles were spot- ted during the midwinter count this year, which continues the trend upward. The resurgence in the area, as well as across the entire state, has been a product of reversing the factors that almost led to the demise of eagles in the 1960s and 1970s, according to Miller. The effects of the Bald Eagle Recovery Act, passed into law in 1940, fi nally bore fruit by increasing nesting habitats for eagles in the Upper Midwest. DDT insecticide, which thinned egg shells until they broke during incuba- tion, was banned in the 1970s and almost entirely eradicated from the food chain a few decades later. Maybe the most impor- tant underlying factor in the evolution of the habitat in central Illinois was some of the fl oodplain forestry along the river fi nally reaching an age and size to support eagle nests. When the weather warms in late spring and early summer, Miller goes from eagle counting to tracking nests and incubation.

We wanted to make another film with Projectile Arts that would bring an inspiring cultural experience to America. Surrounded by 20 million Hindu pilgrims at the world’s largest religious festival, the “Kumbh Mela,” our thoughts naturally turned to baseball (we both grew up in Boston as hopeless Red Sox fans). Ichiro Suzuki was about to become the first Japanese position player in Major League history. We were fascinated — the whole idea of Japanese baseball was so mysterious to many Americans, and we knew it could be a great window into Japanese culture. Director Kenneth Eng Of course, Ichiro’s first season in the Majors Photo courtesy of Kenneth Eng turned out to be one for the record books — on top of the personal achievements (the batting title, the Gold Glove, the Rookie of the Year award, and Most Valuable Player), Ichiro led his team to an American League record 116 wins. We discovered Robert Whiting’s book You Gotta Have Wa and learned for the first time about Japan’s National High School Baseball Tournament, known as the Koshien Tournament for its famous stadium.

  • Draft River Stages in Illinois: Flood and Damage Data
    State of Illinois Pat Quinn Department of Natural Resources Marc Miller, Director Draft River Stages In Illinois: Flood and Damage Data August 2009 Illinois Department of Natural Resources Office of Water Resources INTRODUCTION There are hundreds of river gages that measure the stages of rivers throughout Illinois. These gages range from simple yardsticks, which must be read visually, to sophisticated recording devices which monitor numerous parameters with the data collected being transmitted by telephone or satellite communication link. These gages were set up at various times during the last 100 years. When each was established, an arbitrary starting point or "stage datum" was set up. The height of the river above this starting point was recorded as the river stage. In many cases, a "flood stage" was also established. Typically, this would be the level where the river goes out of its banks. There are two commonly misunderstood points about river stages. First, there is generally no relation between a river stage for one gage and that for another one on the same river. Second, there is often no correlation between flood stage and actual structural flood damages. Often, especially in a rural area, a river will go out of banks but floods only vacant ground. This manual is an accumulation of flood information for a small portion of the gages in Illinois. The manual lists the stages of past floods, the dates of occurrence, and damages known to occur. The gages are arranged in this manual alphabetically by river and from upstream to downstream along a river. Each gage has two or more pages of information.

Hodges plays the memorable organ stabs that punctuate "Take Me to the River" and the sweeping swells that bring together "Love and Happiness." He plays soul music like he's in church, and he plays church music from his soul. That's him on Little Milton hits (e.g., "Walking the Backstreets and Crying") and on all the classic Ann Peebles and Syl Johnson songs. He once traded licks with Stevie Wonder on an unreleased Al Green track. "I have no conflicts about secular music," Rev. Hodges says. "I put me in that work. I'm doing what God has given me the ability to do: 'Whatsoever you do, if you put me first, I am with you.' So I know God is with me when I play that music."

  • Talking Heads from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Talking Heads From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Background information Origin New York City, New York, United States Genres New wave · post-punk · art pop · funk rock · worldbeat Years active 1975–1991 Labels Sire/Warner Bros., EMI Associated acts Tom Tom Club, The Modern Lovers, Brian Eno Past members David Byrne Chris Frantz Tina Weymouth Jerry Harrison Talking Heads were an American rock band formed in 1975 in New York City and active until 1991. The band comprised David Byrne (lead vocals, guitar), Chris Frantz (drums), Tina Weymouth (bass) and Jerry Harrison (keyboards, guitar). Other musicians also regularly made appearances in concert and on the group's albums. The new wave style of Talking Heads combined elements of punk, art rock, funk, avant-garde, dance, pop, and world music with the neurotic, whimsical stage persona of frontman and songwriter David Byrne. The band made use of various performance and multimedia projects throughout its career. Critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine described Talking Heads as being "one of the most critically acclaimed bands of the '80s, while managing to earn several pop hits." In 2002, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Four of the band's albums appeared on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time and three of their songs ("Psycho Killer", "Life During Wartime", and "Once in a Lifetime") were included among The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll. Talking Heads were also included at #64 on VH1's list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time", placed among Rolling Stone 's similar list as well.
