Just a tad antsy!
Monday, July 27, 2009
A mate of mine who is a comedian updated his Facebook status with these words:
I didn't really stop to think. If I had, I'd probably wonder why a young guy relatively new to the comedy scene with really only a killer five-minute set to rave about, would be doing 20 minutes.
I say "only a killer five-minute set". I'm sure he has more material. There's probably seven killer minutes that I can vouch for – that I've seen work and that will work time and again. No doubt he could stretch it to ten. Stuff might play to silence within that ten, but he can be confident in the knowledge that he can come back with something solid should an item not quite work. In fact, I reckon he could stretch beyond 10 with self-confidence, interacting with the audience. It might be the hardest 20 minutes he ever spends on a stage, and he'll come away from it a better comic than from any of the five-minute killer sets he's done that always work. Only, none of his stuff is about ants.
Still, I didn't stop to think. Twenty minutes of ant material is a tough ask.
If I did stop to think, I'd wonder what sort of gig he's landed. A corporate booking of some sort, surely. Perhaps he's the comedy relief during the keynote dinner that opens an entomology conference; maybe he's one of a number of comics doing animal-related material for a zoo – but if so, he drew the short straw since ants must be the animals least conducive to comedy. Hard to project character on to them. Can't anthropomorphise them so easily as you might other animals.
Fact is, I've had a bit of experience with ants. And when I think about it, so have certain comedians. Specifically, George Smilovici wrote a book about ants – The Ant Book. It's almost a joke book. It contains a lot of question/answer set-ups whose answers consist of words beginning, ending or containing 'ant' in them. But they're not that funny. Not only that – all the answers are on the final page, jumbled in a way to make the shape of an ant. All I'm saying is it's no help to my buddy.
But one of my favourite 'dad jokes' is about ants. It's a corker – although I wouldn't risk doing it on stage:
B: Dead ant, dead ant, dead ant, dead ant, dead ant, dead ant, dead aaaaant…
Of course, for the joke to work, you need to 'sing' the punchline to the tune of the main saxophone melody of the 'Theme to the Pink Panther':
(I know, it's up there with the one about the Lone Ranger taking his rubbish 'to the dump, to the dump, to the dump, dump, dump!')
I posted the Pink Panther joke as a comment to his Facebook thread, thinking at least he'd have one ant joke.
Another comic offered the Woody Allen routine, in which Woody talks about his pet ant called 'Spot'.
That reminded me of the Derek & Clive routine of 'Squatter and the Ant':
The 20-minute ant routine was starting to develop, even if it wasn't going to contain anything original in it. Those bug-studiers at the conference were certainly going to get their money's worth, I thought…
But then I noticed another comment on the thread, by the comedian's mate:
Wha? How's that an ant joke?
And then I realised: the status update contained a typo.
The comic wasn't asking if we knew 'ant jokes' in order to fill a 20-minute spot; he was asking us if we knew 'any jokes' – ('yeah, your face is a joke!') – but had hit the 't' next to the 'y' on his keyboard.
Oh well. At least now he has got about ten additional minutes of material – other people's material, granted – albeit, about ants.
Ah, but – it gets better: the gig isn't in front of a room full of entomologists – it's in front of TAFE students. Building students. Somehow I reckon the ant stuff ain't gonna cut it. The comic knows it, too. His most recent update:
Oh, but if they're tradey/brickie students, I reckon he should do Gerard Hoffnung's 'Brickie's Lament' routine.
Good luck, mate. Whatever doesn't kill you will only make you stronger. Even if you 'die' in the process. (I mean, on stage, not at the hands of a horrible tradey/brickie students.)
- <meisel> people ask me how do I tell the difference between ant and aunt </meisel>
- "I had an ant farm... Those fellas didn't grow shit! Plus if I rip off your arms you would look like snowmen." - Mitch Hedberg
- How could I forget? Sam Bowring's icecream bowl.
- How could I also forget? Insect Nation, Bill Bailey's musical about the ants enslaving humanity.
- Another 'book gag': A man is standing in an elevator when all of a sudden 15 ants come in. He turns to the ants and says, "Sorry, you can't all come in here" "Why not?" asks one of the ants. The guy points to a sign that reads, "Tenants only"!
(As pointed out by other comics. Since original comic and initial commentator weren't named, I've included these comments anonymously too.)

Supporters and opponents of Egyptian leader Mohammed Mursi pelted each other with rocks and fought with sticks outside the presidential palace in Cairo on Wednesday, as a new round of protests deepened the country's political crisis.
The opposition is demanding Mursi rescind decrees giving him near unrestricted powers and shelve a disputed draft constitution that the president's Islamist allies passed hurriedly last week.
The dueling demonstrations and violence are part of a political crisis that has left the country divided into two camps: Mursi, his Muslim Brotherhood and their ultraconservative Islamist allies, versus an opposition made up of youth groups, liberal parties and large sectors of the public. Both sides have dug in their heels, signaling a protracted standoff.
The clashes began when thousands of Islamist supporters of Mursi descended on the area around the palace where some 300 of his opponents were staging a sit-in. The Islamists, members of Mursi's Muslim Brotherhood, chased the protesters away from their location outside the palace's main gate and tore down their tents. The protesters scattered in side streets where they chanted anti-Mursi slogans.
At least 100,000 opposition supporters rallied outside the palace on Tuesday, the latest of a series of mass protests against the president. Also Tuesday, smaller protests were staged by the opposition elsewhere in Cairo and across much of Egypt.
No casualties were immediately reported but witnesses reported blood streaming down the faces of several protesters.
Several opposition groups said they were calling on their supporters to head to the palace area, a move that portends more violence.
Mohamed ElBaradei, a leading opposition advocate of reform and democracy, accused the president's supporters of a "vicious and deliberate" attack against peaceful demonstrators.
"This, in my view, is the end of any legitimacy this regime has," said the Nobel Peace laureate. "A regime that is not able to protect its people and is siding with his own sect, (and) thugs is a regime that lost its legitimacy and is leading Egypt into violence and bloodshed," he told The Associated Press.
ElBaradei planned a news conference later on Wednesday.
Buoyed by the massive turnout on Tuesday, the mostly secular opposition held a series of meetings late Tuesday and Wednesday to decide on next steps in the standoff that began Nov. 22 with Mursi's decrees that placed him above oversight of any kinds. It escalated after the president's allies hurriedly pushed through a draft constitution.
While calling for more mass rallies is the obvious course of action, activists said opposition leaders also were discussing whether to campaign for a "no" vote in a Dec. 15 constitutional referendum or to call for a boycott.
Brotherhood leaders have been calling on the opposition to enter a dialogue with the Islamist leader. But the opposition contends that a dialogue is pointless unless the president first rescinds his decrees and shelves the draft charter.
Vice President Mahmoud Mekki called for a dialogue between the president and the opposition to reach a "consensus" on the disputed articles of the constitution and put their agreement in writing and have it discussed by the next parliament. But he said the referendum must go ahead and that he was making his "initiative" in a personal capacity.
If the referendum goes ahead and the draft constitution is adopted, elections for parliament's lawmaking lower chamber will be held in February.

"Justice Department Has No Appetite To Take ANY Cases Against Wall Street Executives"
The following video is an excellent short discussion touching on the behavior of the investments banks. Why are banks allowed to play in, own, and become the markets in the first place? That is the fundamental question, and it has to do with WHO it is that produces the money in this country - as do all the other issues they point out.
The markets, the regulators, and the politicians = complete and total capture.
Something else to keep in mind is that when we say "investment bank," we are also talking about the "FED," as the investments banks are the Primary Dealers who literally OWN the "Federal Reserve Banks" in a disinformation campaign signed into "law" in the year 1913.

What went wrong for Linda McMahon?
Postmortem: Spending nearly $100 million of her own fortune, attack ads help led to 2nd defeat
Yes, Connecticut is a blue state. And yes, President Barack Obama's presence at the top of last week's ticket further boosted Democrats' already good prospects for victory.
Even so, many Republicans assumed after three years of campaigning on nearly $100 million of her professional wrestling fortune, U.S. Senate candidate Linda McMahon would have performed better on Election Day.
"It wasn't going to be as bad a loss as it was in 2010," George Gallo, a legislative staffer and former state Republican chairman, recalled thinking Tuesday.
"Turns out that's exactly what we got."
When she first ran for the Senate two years ago, McMahon lost to then-Attorney General Richard Blumenthal by 12 points. Tuesday Democratic U.S. Rep. Chris Murphy from the 5th District beat her by roughly 12 points.
Was this the same McMahon whose momentum had Democrats wringing their hands into the early fall? Hadn't she and Murphy at one point been tied in the polls? What happened to that momentum?
"I wouldn't say there was one defining moment," Gallo said. "I think this was a slow build."
McMahon claimed her willingness to pay her own way to Washington D.C. ensured her independence from lobbyists. She attacked Murphy for accepting special interest dollars from Wall Street and other sources.
But observers say her defeats, combined with millionaires who reached into their own resources such as Republican and Democratic gubernatorial and Senate candidates like Tom Foley and Ned Lamont, should be a lesson.
"The millionaire funding his own campaign is not going to work in Connecticut," former state GOP Chairman Chris DePino, a vocal McMahon supporter, said. "We've been down this road once, twice, three times."
And yet a late October Quinnipiac University poll found 61 percent of those surveyed were not that focused on McMahon's spending.
State Rep. Tony Hwang, R-Fairfield, suggested voters may be wary of wealthy candidates who lack a resume of public service.
For example, though Washington-based Roll Call lists Blumenthal as the eighth wealthiest member of Congress, he was attorney general for 20 years with an earlier stint in the General Assembly.
McMahon spent a year on the state Board of Education, resigning to challenge Blumenthal.
"The idea of a maverick ... might be wonderful, but perhaps the idea of somebody working in a public service environment for a period of time and developing a track record has more weight," Hwang said.
Make no mistake: If World Wrestling Entertainment, the Stamford company McMahon built with husband Vince, left the state, lawmakers from both parties would lament the economic impact.
And also, according to Quinnipiac's poll, likely voters gave candidates with a business background the edge on qualifications versus career politicians, 49 to 39 percent.
But McMahon spent her career in the wrong kind of business.
That same poll found 59 percent of respondents had a very to somewhat negative view of professional wrestling.
"It wasn't like she started a chain of flower stores across the country. It's pro wrestling," said a Republican who works at the Capitol Building in Hartford who did not want to be identified.
While Democrats in 2010 attacked the McMahons' past programming choices and treatment of their WWE performers, some observers early in the 2012 race considered those stale tactics.
But Scott Bates, of Stonington, an unpaid adviser to Murphy and head of the Washington-based Center for National Policy, said the campaign was always confident WWE was an albatross.
"It was her greatest strength and weakness at the same time," he said.
"She could talk about being a job creator, but that also raised the question of how was it she made those hundreds of millions?"
McMahon won the GOP primary in part because her chief opponent, Christopher Shays, a former U.S. representative for Fairfield County, was considered a "Republican in Name Only."
Then, during the general election campaign, she petitioned her way onto the ballot as an Independent Party candidate, hoping to negate Murphy's cross-endorsement from the Working Families Party.
By Election Day, McMahon was appealing to inner-city Obama supporters, a strategy Democrats saw as cynical, some Republicans considered smart, and others dangerously close to an endorsement of the president.
"Her tactics in Bridgeport and in the cities, telling people to split their ticket and vote on the Independent line ... I think it may have been bizarre to some people," said Bridgeport Republican Chairman John Slater.
"You can't please everybody," he said.
Jack Orchulli, a wealthy ex-fashion executive from Darien who also ran unsuccessfully for U.S. Senate, said McMahon's decision to align herself with Obama "showed, from my perspective, a sense of desperation."
Republicans praised McMahon's efforts following her 2010 loss to crisscross the state reintroducing herself to voters, including the women whose support eluded her in the contest against Blumenthal.
"My experience with her was that she was very genuine, warm and caring as a candidate. Her personal abilities were great," said Edward Dadakis, of Greenwich, a member of the Republican State Central Committee.
But both of McMahon's Senate bids included unprecedented amounts of advertising for a Connecticut race aimed at disqualifying her opponents. In McMahon's world, Murphy was an irresponsible deadbeat who missed mortgage and tax payments, received a sweetheart interest rate from a bank and shirked his congressional responsibilities while enjoying the job's perks.
The barrage did not even let up following Hurricane Sandy, leading NBC News anchor Brian Williams during one broadcast to comment, "In this part of the country those who do have television are seeing attack ads from a woman named Linda McMahon who's running for Senate up in Connecticut airing like nothing had changed, juxtaposed against the damage. It's just a very strange time."
Orchulli said when the race was tied in the polls over the summer, McMahon should have then pivoted to a more positive message and spent more time focusing on her much-touted plan for jobs and tax cuts.
"I don't think she developed that enough and had enough in-depth, positive things to say," Orchulli said.
Bates, who helped Murphy prepare for the four televised debates, believed those events showcased McMahon as a character assassin unable to deviate from campaign talking points.
McMahon's staff, following their second debate in mid-October, produced excruciatingly detailed charts to display it was Murphy, not McMahon, who spent the evening on the attack, rather than discussing policy.
But her advisers were steeped in negative politicking: Media guru Chris LaCivita was a GOP strategist to the Swift Boat Veterans who helped defeat the 2004 presidential bid of U.S. Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass. McMahon campaign manager Corry Bliss was sued for libel in 2010 while working on a losing gubernatorial race in Vermont. Bliss declined to comment for this story and LaCivita could not be reached for an interview.
"Corry Bliss plays to win, like any other high-powered campaign operative does across the country," said Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton. "What he did here isn't anything that hasn't been done somewhere else. He's a hard-charging campaign person, and that's what he does. Some like it and some don't. I guess it all depends if you are on the receiving end."
State Senate Minority Leader John McKinney, R-Fairfield, said many voters were turned off.
"I heard on Election Day, from so many people, disgust from the negativity of campaigns in general," McKinney said. "They referenced Linda McMahon, fairly or unfairly."
Staff writer Dirk Perrefort contributed to this story.

State of Latinos in Education summit focuses on transformational change
Call to lead the charge with educators and community leaders at the helm
WASHINGTON - November 19, 2010 -
The American Federation of Teachers (AFT), the National Education Association (NEA), and the U.S. Hispanic Leadership Institute (USHLI) hosted a summit for members of the United States Council on Latino Affairs (USCLA). The two-day State of Latinos in Education summit focused on identifying the best practices, policies and programs to boost the academic achievement of Latino students.
USCLA is made up of directors of Latino affairs commissions and agencies in 24 states. Its goal is to promote the Latino community's priorities at the national level and to identify potential best practices for the agencies and programs each director represents.
After robust deliberations about the challenges and opportunities facing Latinos today, participants at the education summit left energized and ready to lead efforts to transform public schools to more effectively meet the needs of all students, regardless of background, race, ethnicity or immigration status.
U.S. Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis addressed the summit, along with Janet Murguia, president and the chief executive officer of the National Council of La Raza, and Tom Saenz, president and general counsel of the Mexican American Legal Defense Fund.
"We are delighted that we could co-host the 2010 summit on the State of Latinos in Education" said AFT President Randi Weingarten. "Our country will be a far better place when we spend the time, energy and effort ensuring that all our Latino students have the opportunity to dream their dreams and achieve them. This means taking a holistic approach to addressing their needs both inside and outside of school, from cradle to career. It's also going to take all stakeholders working together and taking shared responsibility, much as we have done in this summit."
Today about one out of every five public school students—10 million children—are Hispanic, and approximately half of them also are English Language Learners. That means in 12 years—16 if college is taken into account—20 percent of the national workforce will be Latinos who vote, pay taxes, raise families, run for office and create businesses. Yet they are the least educated of all major ethnic groups. Poverty, lack of access to high quality preschool, low levels of parental education and inadequately funded schools are some of the challenges facing this community.
"Working together, we can open a world of opportunities for the Latino students in our public schools," said NEA President Dennis Van Roekel. "Educators, families, and community leaders must better engage and support these students, keep them on a path to graduation, and keep their expectations high as they consider college and careers. The energy and perspectives of these young people promise a rich addition to our democracy and to our future economic success."
NEA is stepping up to the challenge with its Priority Schools Campaign, the Association's effort to transform persistently low-performing schools into great public schools for all students. The NEA Priority Schools campaign, now underway in 14 states, includes several states with significant Latino populations: California, Nevada, and Colorado.
Those attending the summit recognized that rapidly changing demographics, combined with the growing pressures from a global economy, will require major changes in policy both at the state and local levels. With the economy still in a slump, they noted that states will have to fight the temptation to balance their budgets on the backs of students and working families.
"It is important that leaders at all levels—local, state and national—be engaged in the struggle to improve the quality of education in America," said Dr. Juan Andrade, president of the U.S. Hispanic Leadership Institute. "To be competitive in a rapidly and complex world, America must summon the collective will of all sectors to ensure that our schools are places where all students can learn what they need in order to succeed in a global society."
The summit comes on the heels of an election in which Hispanic voters were credited for playing a key role in some especially tight races. This political fact was front and center in the minds of the participants during their deliberations. In Nevada, Hispanic voters were credited with delivering a political victory to Sen. Harry Reid against a candidate who came across as decidedly unsympathetic to Hispanics. Similarly, in California and Colorado, Hispanic voters helped winning candidates who pledged to fix the broken immigration system, strengthen public education and jumpstart the stalled economy.
"The United States Council on Latino Affairs is thrilled to have the opportunity to discuss the serious challenges facing Latino communities throughout the United States," said José Ibarra, who chairs the U. S. Council on Latino Affairs and the Oregon Commission on Hispanic Affairs. "Even though we have experienced a great deal of progress, it is obvious that more needs to be done. USCLA stands ready to work with the AFT, NEA, and USHLI to address the challenges facing our Latino students locally, drawing upon the models of success and best practices from the national level."

Santosh Thorat, a young father of five, had picked up an extra day's work. He left the two-story home in the east Mumbai slum of Anna Bhau Sathe Nagar, the home that he'd built himself and shared with about 17 others. They were all the children and grandchildren of his dalit (untouchable) caste father, whose job had been to serve his village by whipping himself when bad luck came upon them.
A bulldozing crew had recruited Mr. Thorat as a temporary security guard to quell protesters in Mandala, a slum within walking distance of his own. It would be his first time working on a demolition.
"That day when I went to work, I thought, 'I don't want to do this,' " the small, scratchy-voiced Thorat says. He watched a crying mother who had returned from the store to find her home flattened.
"Even though I was working with the police, I wasn't really with them at heart ... because I also live in the slums," he says.
The next day's assignment was to bulldoze his own neighborhood. Don't flatten my house, Thorat pleaded with his bosses, who knocked down other parts of the slum for two days. On the third day, they told Thorat to take some time off. They demolished his house. By the fourth day, his family was living in a tent.
That was during the peak of Mumbai's demolition drive, December 2004, when an estimated 85,000 dwellings were bulldozed in a matter of months. Activists estimate that 300,000 people were left homeless.
Like his father, who had moved to the city from a village about 300 miles away to find construction work and garbage-picking jobs, Thorat had pieced together odd jobs in the building trades and as a temporary guard for the police to support his family in Mumbai (also called Bombay).
And like his father, who rebelled and cut the long dreadlocks his caste was expected to wear – leading other untouchables to cut theirs, too – Thorat decided that day to turn to protest. His idea was simple: What if the funds used to bring down slums were put toward developing them instead?
"If all they want is to make Mumbai slum free and neat and tidy, and they think that Mumbai looks dirty with the slums around, then instead of spending money on demolishing they should have given them money for restoration and for the upkeeping of the houses," says Thorat through a translator as we sit in a room on the wobbly second story of the dim home he rebuilt within a year of its demolition.
That's now largely the plan being pushed by the government of India, a nationwide project called Rajiv Gandhi Awas Yojana, introduced last year. It aims to make India slum free in five years – not through demolition, but through the construction of affordable housing and upgrading of current settlements.
An estimated 60 percent of the residents of Mumbai, whose metropolitan population is estimated at 16 million, live in slums.
Mumbai is India's city of dreams, attracting 500 new residents a day. As Indian urban centers like Mumbai swell, 70 percent of the newcomers probably won't be able to afford housing, says a report from the McKinsey Global Institute.
Thorat became a leader and caretaker of his 3,000-household slum, along with the organization Ghar Bachao Ghar Banao Andolan (the Save the House, Build the House Movement). By January 2005, he was helping to reconstruct homes not only in his own community but around the city.
The growing intensity of housing protests has forced the state government to respond, says Amita Bhide, an urban expert at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences in Mumbai, who has researched the Mandala slum. The government's demolition drive has subsided significantly.
Thorat has emerged as an effective leader on the day-to-day problems caused by the displacement of slum residents in ways that outside groups have difficulty emulating, Dr. Bhide says.
Thorat experiences the precarious slum life daily, says Simpreet Singh, a fellow activist who isn't a slum dweller himself. He "knows the people better and lives what the people live," Mr. Singh says.
As his young son leans against him, doing homework in a thin notebook, Thorat quietly lists what he's helped bring to his slum: a computer center, a sewing center, a new school, and 350 ration cards for subsidized food.
"Nobody here is a leader as such," he says with a shrug when asked why he's the one who addresses the Sunday meetings of the slum residents. "But because I'd been in the police force earlier and have experience, people look up to me."
His advice to other rural villagers thinking of moving to Mumbai: Don't! He tried to move back to his family's village and open a bakery. But then he heard the demolition crew was returning – 350 dwellings came down in May in Anna Bhau Sathe Nagar – and he came back to protest.
He can't afford this life of day-to-day activism, Thorat says on a drizzly Sunday.
"I say every day that I will not go for the protests, I will go look for work," he says. "But I end up going, as people keep coming to me and asking me."

BERGEN COUNTY, N.J. – After the shooter in Las Vegas used bump stocks to fire his rifle automatically, Assemblywoman Holly Schepisi (R-Bergen) quickly responded with a bill requiring all bump stocks to be returned to police, banning them for sale or possession in New Jersey.
Bump stocks were approved by the Obama administration in 2010 as a way to help people with disabilities fire semi-automatic rifles. While the intent to make bump stocks legal to ensure parity for those with disabilities, these items have instead resulted in weapons being illegally converted.
"No civilian should ever have access to an automatic weapon," Schepisi of River Vale said. "I had never heard of a bump stock before this week, but I strongly believe we should ban them so weapons cannot be converted to automatic."
"A man with no prior indication of mental illness or arrests murdered nearly sixty Americans and injured hundreds more by easily converting a weapon into an automatic machine gun," Schepisi added.
Schepisi's bill requires all bump stocks to be returned to police within 60 days, and prohibits stores in New Jersey from selling them and civilians from owning them. Possession will be a second-degree crime.
"As a mother of two children, I have the same grave concerns for their safety as most do," Schepisi said.
"Even though New Jersey has some of the most strict gun laws in the nation my concern does not go away.
"I have long been a proponent of sensible gun safety measures to protect our communities, while finding a balance to protect second-amendment rights of law-abiding Americans who, for the most part, are responsible gun owners."

Michael Milano
Bulger Accused Of Killing Bartender In Case Of Mistaken Identity
Michael Milano was working as a bartender for a North End restaurant when he purchased a black Merecedes-Benz. One night in 1973, when Milano was leaving his job, he was attacked with a machine gun and killed by White Hill gang hit man John Martorano, the former hit man testified.
Following White Hill gang boss James "Whitey" Bulger's orders to kill the owner of the North End bar, who also happened to drive the same make and color car Milano did, Martorano shot and killed the wrong man, Martorano said.
The real target, the owner, was Al "Indian Al" Notarangeli, the leader of a smaller rival gang, Martorano testified.
In 2002, the Milano family won a wrongful death suit. The judge ruled Bulger owed the Milano family $2.2 million in reparations. As of today, the Milano family has not received the money and were told they must wait for the criminal case to be resolved first.
Milano is survived by his younger brother Donald Milano. Donald Minalo is glad Bulger has been captured but feels the arrest is not enough.
Im glad they found him, but will it make a difference in my life -- or my brothers life that he didnt have? Donald Milano said.

Pacific Rim National Park Reserve is renowned for surfing, storm watching, and romantic beach and rainforest walks. Now there's a potential new activity for visitors -- close-up viewing of wolves -- and that has park staff worried.
"I'm not in panic mode," said Todd Windle, the park's human-wildlife conflict specialist. "But I want to remind people of what's going on, that there are these new animals...and they may be starting down the path to habituation."
In an interview Monday, Windle explained that a pack of five wolves was first confirmed last November in the park on the west coast of Vancouver Island. Nothing particularly surprising about that; another pack of three wolves has existed in the park near Tofino for up to two years.
Concerns were raised within the last month, however, when members of this new pack showed little fear while being observed by staff and the public as close as 50 metres away on a deactivated road near Wickaninnish Beach interpretive centre.
"They were just lying down in the open," Windle said. "That's unusual to lie in the open where they could be seen so easily. And they didn't flee right away."
Wolves that lose their fear can become a problem should they try to obtain food from humans, Windle said. They may also become more vulnerable to being hit by motor vehicles or being shot once they step outside park boundaries.
Hunters are permitted to kill three wolves apiece during open seasons on Vancouver Island.
In 2012, two wolves were discovered in a dumpster in Tofino.
Windle advises park visitors to keep moving and not to approach wolves for a better photograph and to even shout, use a marine airhorn, or toss rocks should they approach. Motorists can also honk their horns if wolves are observed alongside the highway.
"We are trying to teach them that humans are not the safest animals out there. We mean danger. Unfortunately, that's just the way we are."
A man was severely bitten by a wolf in 2000 while sleeping outdoors in his sleeping bag at Vargas Island in Clayoquot Sound, north of Tofino. He received more than 50 stitches to his scalp. Two young wolves who had a history of being fed by humans were killed.
In Banff National Park earlier this month, officials expressed concern that a cooked turkey carcass had deliberately been left by the roadside by someone hoping to getting a better photograph. The maximum fine for feeding wildlife is $25,000.
Research in Pacific Rim shows that wolves' main prey is black-tailed deer, river otters, harbour seals and raccoons. But they are also known to take black bears, as well as mink, birds, sea lions and smaller marine life such as shore crabs and clams.
Dogs can also be preyed upon, both by wolves and cougars, emphasizing the need for owners to keep their pets on leash per park rules.
Windle noted that wolves are welcome in the park and form a vital role in the greater ecosystem, helping to prevent prey populations such as deer from growing out of control and wreaking havoc on the environment, including on young trees.
It's not yet known what impact the new wolf pack is having on the other three wolves, but one member of the latter has gone missing, Windle said. One pack may displace the other or the two may join forces, he noted. Trail cameras are being used to track movements of the packs.
Visitors are urged to report wildlife sightings to 250-726-3500.

Companies in the S&P 500 are increasing spending on their businesses at the fastest rate since 2011, The Wall Street Journal reports.
Capex investment, which includes things like building factories and office buildings and buying new equipment, is expected to hit $166 billion in the first quarter, an increase of 24 percent over the year before. Spending is increasing as companies start spending some of the huge cash reserves that have been piling up in the wake of strong economic growth, with profits now boosted even more by the business tax cuts that became law earlier this year.
The bump in capex investment has played a role in the current debate over the efficacy of the new tax law. The RATE collation, a tax reform group backed by major corporations, offered support for the new rules Wednesday, saying in a statement, "In the most important measures — from record high job openings to record low jobless claims, soaring small business confidence to a surge in capital spending — it is abundantly clear that tax reform is helping grow our economy and create new jobs."
But most experts say the long-term effects of the tax cuts will take years to evaluate. And not everyone agrees that the recent increase in capex spending represents a fundamental change in the economic environment. As Democratic financier Steven Rattner noted in his testimony before the House Ways and Means Committee Wednesday, "there is no sign that the promised investment boom has materialized. Indeed, real domestic private investment has risen at an annual rate of just 3.8% since the current administration took office compared to 6.3% from 2010 through 2016." And the chart below from The Wall Street Journal suggests that the bump in capex spending could also be cyclical in nature.

Kimbrel joins elite company with 50th save
ATLANTA -- Craig Kimbrel joined an exclusive group on Friday night when he became the 10th different Major League pitcher to record 50 saves in a season. John Smoltz is the only other pitcher who accomplished the feat while playing for the Braves.
"It definitely does mean a lot," Kimbrel said. "It's something that doesn't come around every year. Even if you do have a good pitching year, you might not be able to do something that special."
Kimbrel's 139 career saves rank as the second-highest total recorded by a Major League closer 25 years old or younger. Francisco Rodriguez notched 146 saves before his 26th birthday.
While Kimbrel has not been as utterly dominant as he was last year when he became the only big league pitcher to ever strike out more than half the batters he faced, he has still produced some eye-opening numbers on the way to notching his Major League-leading 50 saves.
Kimbrel entered Saturday leading all National League relievers in ERA (1.23). He ranked second in strikeouts per batter faced with a 38.6 percent rate and third in both opponents' batting average (.165) and opponents' on-base percentage (.240).
"He doesn't panic," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "I think that comes from being out there three-plus years."
Kimbrel's 90.3 career save percentage ranks third among all big league pitchers who have had at least 150 save opportunities. The only pitchers with better marks are Eric Gagne (91.7) and Smoltz (91.1), a pair of former closers who before Friday had accounted for the only 50-save seasons recorded by an NL pitcher since 2000.
"I put the bar at the highest limit for me," Kimbrel said. "I want to go out there and be perfect each and every time. I know that is not realistic. But I'm still going to get myself prepared, work hard and try to get to that point."
Kimbrel's 1.23 ERA ranks as the second-lowest mark ever recorded by closer during a 50-save season. Gagne posted a 1.20 ERA when he notched 55 saves for the Dodgers in 2003.
The .165 opponents' batting average Kimbrel has surrendered matches Trevor Hoffman for the second-best best mark recorded during a 50-save season. Gagne surrendered a .133 batting average in 2003.

We are finally all moved in. Packing and unpacking with an infant makes for a lot of stop and go. Luckily I work so close to our new place that I could unpack at lunch or right after work, before Avery and Dustin got home. As far as remodeling went, removing the wall between the kitchen and living room created more openness and let more light in the rest of the apartment. The fauxdenza below the TV is another added storage area and is a lot safer for Avery than our old wood and metal coffee table. And all of the white contrasts the newly stained dark floors.
We went back and forth on the length of the kitchen island, but after seeing it installed at half its current length, we decided to go for a more dramatic effect. Making it longer also gave us more room for an extra cabinet. I can picture lining the island with bar stools when it is time to resell.This is the first time we've had enough space for a dining room. We purchased our table a few years ago as a desk, but hoped to use it as a dining table in the future. It's nice to finally eat dinner together. As an added bonus, this has meant our TV watching has been cut down to nearly zero. The last time I skimmed a reality show, I felt like gouging my own eyes out. Family time is definitely more fulfilling.
Since we no longer had a desk, we built a little work area in our closet. Only one of us can work at a time, but that is usually fine these days.
Out of all the rooms, I was happiest with Avery's. In our last apartment, Avery was sharing a room with us and now she gets to rock out to the "Hamster dance song" and crawl around on her Flor faux grass carpet. I'm not a huge fan of pink, but I wanted a little girly touch with the Mur decals. And the dresser Dustin designed for our old bedroom is now Avery's.
We added a book shelf at Avery's level and put her more fragile books on the top. She spends a lot of time taking books off the shelves and putting them back up. I hope she continues to like to put things back in their original spots. Most likely this is wishful thinking.
Well that is it for now. We learned a great deal from this process. I think one of the big things was that construction will only last for so long and that it will most likely work out in the end. Hopefully we can continue our renovation in the future for our bathrooms…budget permitting.

Grape Glossary
Antioxidants are compounds in foods and beverages that can help protect healthy cells from the damaging effects of oxidative stress, a condition that may, over time, have an impact on health. Vitamins C, E, and A (as beta-carotene), and the mineral selenium, as well as certain phytonutrients (such as polyphenols), can act as antioxidants.
Concord grape
Concord grape is a hearty American grape with a thick, dark purple skin and seeds that naturally have plant nutrients (phytonutrients) called polyphenols. Not only do polyphenols give Concord grapes their vibrant color, but these plant nutrients also act as antioxidants and deliver other benefits to promote health. Seedless grapes, like table grapes, do not appear to contain the same quantity of these polyphenols.
Circulatory system
The circulatory system is composed of the heart, arteries, capillaries, and veins. The circulatory system is like a map of thousands of miles of highways that move blood through the body.
Free Radicals
Free Radicals are atoms or groups of atoms that have one or more unpaired electrons. They are a normal part of everyday life and are produced during activities like exercising or digestion (when our bodies convert food into energy). Free radicals are highly reactive, but our bodies have a natural defense system – so in small numbers, they are not a big problem. However, exposure to certain environmental factors like pollution and UV radiation can also trigger the formation of free radicals. And, when there are too many free radicals for our bodies to protect against, they can set off a damaging chain reaction, which in turn can result in oxidative stress.
Flavonoids are the largest and most studied sub-group of polyphenols and represent the vast majority of the polyphenols found in both the Niagara and Concord grapes. There are thousands of different flavonoids in fruits, vegetables and certain plant-derived beverages (i.e. teas and juices). Many of these flavonoids act as antioxidants and are becoming popular because of growing science that suggests flavonoids may have health-supporting effects.
Niagara grape
Niagara grape is a hearty American grape, and like its cousin the Concord, it is a seeded grape with natural plant nutrients (phytonutrients) called polyphenols. Seedless grapes, like table grapes, do not appear to contain the same quantity of these potentially health-supporting phytonutrients.
Nitric oxide (NO)
Nitric oxide (NO) is a molecule produced in the body that helps blood vessels to relax, causing them to expand and keep blood flowing freely.
Oxidative Stress
Oxidative Stress is a condition that can damage healthy cells. It has been identified as a possible contributor to certain chronic health problems.
Phytonutrients are plant-based nutrients that appear to have health-supporting effects but are not considered essential for human survival. Fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, and teas have these compounds which are being actively studied for their potential impact on health.
Polyphenols are a sub-group of phytonutrients. They are found in foods like onions, tea, red wine, grapes, and certain nuts. Polyphenols naturally protect plants against pathogens, parasites, and predators, and often contribute to the flavor and color of fruits and vegetables. Research suggests that polyphenols are responsible for the Concord grape's heart-health benefits.
Resveratrol is a natural compound (a polyphenol) that can sometimes be found in the skin of grapes with more found in dark grapes found in cooler climates, with less sunlight and more rainfall. Certain plants produce resveratrol in response to environmental stress like fungal infections. Scientists became interested in studying resveratrol as part of the possible link to the French Paradox.

The Assistive Technology & Universal Access (ATUA) Lab is a base for assistive technology and universal design expertise, instruction, and projects. It houses a variety of devices, software, and resources used to accommodate the needs of people with disabilities. The hundreds of low and high-tech devices & software titles in the lab represent many categories of assistive technology, including computer access, communication/telecommunications, environmental control, adaptive writing, wheeled mobility, and worksite accommodations. Universal design is studied to determine how environments (physical, educational, Internet) can be created to be more usable by everybody, including people with disabilities, creating the next generation of accessibility… universal access.
Electives in assistive technology and universal design are available to students from all majors on campus. In AT courses, students not only learn about the devices themselves, but also the roles that different professionals play in providing AT services. In addition to the elective options, students in the Occupational Science & Technology Department will find introductory assistive technology lectures and labs infused throughout the curriculum and opportunities to use AT in projects for other courses. Master's and doctoral degree students may also choose to complete their thesis or project in the area of AT or universal design.
Some assistive technology (AT) examples include:
- A computer "mouse" to move the mouse pointer with one's head, used in conjunction with software that produces mouse clicks without pressing a button.
- Low-tech writing adaptations and aids that provide stability and reduce grip requirements.
- Screen reading software that makes it possible for a person who is blind to use a computer and to listen to information on websites.
- Environmental control systems that allows the user to control lights, radios, fans, and other devices by pressing a single switch.
- Switches of all shapes, sizes, colors, activation forces/method.
- Toys that have been adapted so that they can be controlled with a single switch.
- Speech recognition software that makes talking to the computer an alternative or supplement to the traditional keyboard and mouse.
- Keyboards of all types, including some that are half the size or twice the size of the usual keyboard.
- Augmentative and alternative communication devices with digitized and synthesized speech output.
The ATUA Lab is located adjacent to and is closely linked with the Rehabilitation Research Design & Disability (R2D2) Center. The R2D2 Center is an interdisciplinary research center with several local and national projects related to assistive technology, assistive technology outcomes measurement, and universal design.

- Social- and business-networking sites such as LinkedIn and Plaxo are good ways to find old connections.
- Remember that networking is a give-and-take experience. Figure out what you can offer your contact.
- Professional associations give you access to people who may work for or have contacts within companies you want to work with.
Related How-Tos
Networking needs to be done consistently throughout a career, but that's not always feasible in a world of 70-hour workweeks and family commitments. To jumpstart a network that's out-of-date, start by asking those former colleagues who you have stayed in touch with for the contact information you need.
If that's not an option, try searching social- and business-networking sites such as LinkedIn and Plaxo to find old connections. Personalize network-invitation requests with a memory the two of you shared or a reminder of who you are. Once you've re-established your relationship, you can also view the friends of your connections, and request an introduction to people at companies that interest you.
Next, arrange in-person meetings with these people to build stronger ties. Be mindful of your contact's time; you might not be the only one asking for help. Ask for 10 minutes to chat, or offer to catch up over coffee or lunch.
If you've exhausted your efforts to find people or need to start from scratch, professional associations are a good place to begin. Associations give you access to other professionals who may work for or have contacts within companies you want to join.
Join trade groups in your niche and then look for events they're hosting that you can attend. These offer the opportunity to network with people who speak your industry language. If you've been in a more senior executive position, consider volunteering to speak at industry and trade conferences or offer to serve on committees for professional associations. These are also ideal ways to meet people.
Alumni associations offer another way to make professional connections. Contact your alma mater's alumni-relations office to gain access to its online member database, which might allow you to search for old friends by name, class or even employer.
Informal networking can also help. If you find yourself standing in line at the bank or grocery store, strike up a conversation with the person behind you. The results may surprise you.
And remember, networking works both ways. Always offer to return any favors your contacts provide and be sure to contact them even at times when you don't need their support.

My name is Chelsea Colwell-Pasch and I am a post-graduate master's student at Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia. I am enrolled in the Maritime Archaeology program there and originally hail from New Brunswick, Canada. For the Day of Archaeology, 26 July 2013, I spent the day organizing and brainstorming for the National Archaeology Student Conference (NASC) that will be held at Flinders University next April. While archaeology is a broad field and now encompasses many sub-disciplines (like Maritime Archaeology) it is through conferences where a meeting of the minds can occur. With NASC, all sub-fields will be welcomed and the focus will be on students; a conference FOR students BY students. If you have never experienced a conference before, it is a three to four day event that follows a structure and allows registered attendees to participate in or observe various presentations and happenings. It is a valuable venue for honing your public speaking and presentation skills; for staying up-to-date on the latest research and ideas; and for networking with the best and brightest in your field, creating valuable contacts.
I was accepted onto the organizing committee in late March 2013 after a call for interested students who want to assist at the conference was put out to the archaeology students at Flinders. There was an impressive amount of interest from the archaeology department student body and the organizing committee was formed that day. Now you may be thinking that meeting in May 2013 for an event held in April 2014 is very keen, but being students, all we can hope to do is work on this project in our spare time. It takes a year to organize the necessary components of a great conference, and our committee is set on making this a GREAT conference. In order to make organizing easier and improve our time management we opted to form sub-committees for various aspects of the conference. We have a Chair, secretary and treasurer as well as six working groups or sub-committees, each with a group leader. The six working groups are: 1) Administration, venues and judging, 2) Publicity, stationary and IT, 3) Catering, 4) Sponsorship and fundraising, 5) Scheduling, and 6) Accommodation. I am in the sponsorship and fundraising work group and it has been my task to come up with ideas on how to fund this event. Everything from corporate sponsorships to bake sales and raffle draws. We are students after all.
After an extended absence, a small group of Flinders students decided to restart NASC, hence having Flinders as the venue and having Flinders students run and organize it. With a large campus set in the beautiful Adelaide foothills, we could not have asked for a more accommodating locale. The views of the city and the Southern Ocean from the school are just remarkable and Adelaide is as friendly as any Canadian town. Accommodation ideas are well underway to assist in every budget level represented. In order to be identifiable and professional, the logo was discussed early on as well, as any marketing or branding would require it. We democratically hold every decision to a vote and come to the best decision via majority. The logo (above) was chosen at our second or third meeting, we then decided on a launch date in order to introduce the conference to the public. Social media policies were written (and re-written). E-mail accounts and web pages were created. A launch party was organized and will take place 29th July, 2013 at Flinders University. This blog is to correspond with that launch and also serves as a tactical move, as we can reach a wider audience and take our conference to the world. We have the where, who and what, now for the when. With it almost being August already (time flies when you're organizing conferences), we have set the dates for NASC and are pleased to reveal them for your calendars:
Friday 11 April 2014 – Welcome BBQ
Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 April 2014 – Presentation dates
Sunday 13 April 2014 – Conference Dinner
Monday 14 April 2014 – Adelaide based Tour
We are well on our way to producing a truly spectacular conference event for both students and archaeology enthusiasts alike. With exciting student presentations and inspiring speakers lined up, the conference will be a must for all archaeology students this coming April, especially those looking for a reason to visit beautiful Adelaide, South Australia. International attendees are more than welcome, in fact they are encouraged. If you are interested in presenting, speaking, or attending NASC, for a unique student-centric experience, please visit our Facebook page, our website, follow us on twitter or email us with any questions. We hope to see you next April 2014!

Give me intelligent conversation and I will give you my attention.
– Jennifer Koch
Welcome to my own, personal corner of the web. Unlike Wiccan Anime, this site is far more personal. Here you'll find things like photos and information about me, posts from my blog, my writing publications, and my family history. For those who might not already know who I am, you may call me by any one of these three names: Jennifer, Novadestin, or Sedia (or any variation thereof). I really don't care which, but those are the only names that I go by.
I am mostly a humble child at heart, preferring to stay behind the camera rather than be the center of attention. I am generally very open and easy to get along with. I am also extremely easy to please, seeing no real difference between a five-star restaurant and a burger from the fast food stop around the corner. I love learning, writing, and art. I also enjoy people and learning what makes them who they are. It was this interest in people, as well as writing, that lead me to earn a bachelors degree in psychology.
I spend much of my time on a computer, multitasking between work and other various projects. Yet, while I have many things I would like to do, I try to lead a simple, green life. I am alright with being left behind by the crazy, fast-paced, money-driven world we live in today. I am a main street neighborhood kid, not a street-smart city girl. My favorite teams are local and I enjoy helping to make my community a better place. Sure, I care about 'making the world a better place' too, but I feel that small steps over long periods add up to more than one big step done just once.
Yes, I've had enemies in my life, and I openly admit that I did some really stupid things when I was younger, but I have grown since then. I know I make mistakes. I know I sometimes generalize, use stereotypes, say contradictory things, am hypocritical, condescending, and/or sarcastic. This is all a natural part of human nature, so please forgive me as I forgive you. I believe in change and second chances as I have seen and experienced them first hand. Give things a try; even if you've done it before, try again! You never know what could happen!
All: Novadestin* email@example.com
*All of my IM's are set to friends only, so please email me first.

Browns, Kelly to meet again for 2nd straight day
Recommended Video:
CLEVELAND (AP) -- The Browns have Chip Kelly's interest.
Now they need his signature.
The team was to meet with Oregon's innovative coacinge a deal to make him Cleveland's sixth coach since 1999.
The sides met for a reported seven hours in Arizona on Friday and came close to reaching an agreement but parted company agreeing to talk a second time.
Kelly also met with the Buffalo Bills, and he intends to keep a scheduled meeting with the Philadelphia Eagles, who weren't going to pursue the 49-year-old when it was learned a deal with Cleveland was near. It's possible Kelly and his agent, David Dunn, are meeting with the other teams to gain leverage with the Browns.
Kelly nearly jumped to the pros last year with Tampa Bay but decided at the last minute to return to Oregon, where he has been coach since 2009.
Browns owner Jimmy Haslam and CEO Joe Banner plan to hire a coach before they seek a general manager to pair with him. The Browns have also promised that their next coach will have final say and control over the club's 53-man roster, perks that will likely limit their talent pool when looking for a GM or pro personnel director.
Kelly went 46-7 in four years at Oregon, where his high-tempo, warp-speed offense averaged nearly 50 points per game this season. He has no pro coaching experience, but some of his offensive principles are being used by New England and Washington. Patriots coach Bill Belichick met with Kelly in the offseason and has adopted a few of the Ducks' offensive wrinkles into his schemes this season.
Following Oregon's win over Kansas State in Thursday night's Fiesta Bowl, Kelly said he hoped to have the interview process "wrapped up quickly and figure out where I'm going to be."
All indications are that he's headed to Cleveland, where he'll inherit a young roster that showed some promise this season.
Haslam and Banner have been in Arizona all week. They camped out there early to get first crack at Kelly and conducted at least four other known interviews before meeting with him.
Cleveland has also spoken with former Arizona coach Ken Whisenhunt, Cardinals defensive coordinator Ray Horton, Syracuse's Doug Marrone and Penn State's Bill O'Brien, who removed himself from consideration.
and said he would return for his second season with the Nittany Lions.
The Browns are not commenting on any candidates or interviews until they hire a successor for Pat Shurmur, who was fired after going 9-23 in two seasons.
Haslam and Banner believe Kelly can fix Cleveland's franchise, which has made just one playoff appearance in 14 years.
Saturday was the 10th anniversary of the Browns' last postseason game, a 36-33 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. In the decade since, the Browns have had nine double-digit loss seasons and changed coaches four times.
Cleveland's current run of at least 11 losses in five straight seasons is the second-longest streak of futility in NFL history. Only the Oakland Raiders (2003-2009) have had one longer.

Mario Balotelli has ordered a life-sized statue of himself to keep in his Brescia home. The Milan striker, who was on Tuesday fined €10,000 (£8,600) for making an "insulting gesture" towards Internazionale supporters at the end of the derby on Sunday, has contacted a local artist to make the statue, in order to "immortalise" himself.
"I have received the commission, but I've never met Balotelli so I am working from photos," Livio Scarpella told Il Giornale di Brescia. "I presented several drawings but Mario wanted to be immortalised in a pose that shows him having scored a goal, highlighting his muscles and with an expression of defiance.
"I have imagined him as an athlete from ancient times and the statue will be a mix of classical and pop style in platinum and coloured bronze with the eyes made of stones."
Italian media have suggested the pose wanted by Balotelli is the one he showed off after scoring against Germany in the Euro 2012 semi-final and will reportedly be kept among other contemporary art items in the attic of the striker's new home, designed by the architect Roberto Falconi.
Balotelli has made a successful start at Milan after his January transfer from Manchester City, scoring four goals in his first three games before failing to find the net in last Sunday's derby.
That game finished 1-1 and Inter have been fined €50,000 by Serie A after fans racially abused Balotelli, a former Nerazzurri player. During the match, the Italy striker raised a finger to his lips when Inter fans made monkey calls and waved inflatable bananas at San Siro. The Serie A statement said the abuse started "in the 11th minute of the first half" and continued "in the 11th, 15th, 16th and 19th minutes of the second half".
The club fine was not only for the Balotelli abuse but also for racism towards another former Inter player, Sulley Muntari, as well as offensive banners and fans' use of a laser aimed at players' eyes.
This is the second time this season that Inter have been fined as a result of racial abuse aimed at Balotelli. Italian authorities have long been criticised by anti-racism campaigners for not cracking down hard enough on discrimination in sport.
