Thursday, November 4 — King Tut's tomb found (1922), Hungary invaded by USSR (1956)
- King Tut's tomb was discovered by famed archaeologist Howard Carter on this day in 1922. Carter was working under the employ of Lord Carnarvon and waited until Lord Carnarvon arrived before entering the tomb together on November 26. Much excavation followed and it wasn't until February 16 that the burial chamber was officially opened. On April 5, 50 days later, Lord Carnarvon died, giving a grand start to all the stories of "King Tut's Curse." After the opening of the burial chamber there was more excavation, not a few disputes, and Carter left the project. He returned in January 1925, but it still wasn't until October 28, 1925 that the lid of the inner sarcophagus was removed and the mummy was first seen, almost three years after the entrance to the tomb was first discovered, more than 3000 years after the mummy had been placed in the tomb.
- The Hungarian Revolution of 1956 was a popular Hungarian revolt against the Communist government that had been forcibly imposed by the USSR at the end of World War II. It was a spontaneous revolt that started on October 23 with student demonstrations. On October 24 Soviet troops and tanks stationed in Hungary moved into Budapest. But in daring street fighting by Hungarians often armed with no more than Molotov cocktails, Hungarian civilians were able to push back the Soviets troops and destroy, disable, and even take over some of the Soviet tanks. By October 28 the fighting was largely over and by October 30 a new popular government was being put in place. Political prisoners were freed and plans were laid for an open, multi-party democracy. A Hungarian delegation started negotiations for withdrawal of Soviet troops from Hungary and Soviet ambassador Yuri Andropov (later head of the KGB and Soviet prime minister) promised the USSR would not invade.
On the night of November 3 the Hungarian delegation was invited to Soviet Military Command near Budapest to discuss withdrawal of Soviet troops. But around midnight the delegation was arrested and very early on the morning of November 4 the Soviets launched a massive invasion with 22 Army divisions, including the Soviet 8th Mechanized Army. They encircled Budapest and moved in, firing indiscriminately at both civilians and military targets. The Hungarian free government pleaded for help from other countries, but none came. The free republic was crushed within hours.
Afterward the Soviets and Hungarian Communists conducted mass trials of over 22 000 Hungarians, many thousands were imprisoned, hundreds executed. Some of the leaders of the revolution sought asylum in the Yugoslavian embassy, were granted safe passage out of the country by the Soviets, but were then captured as soon as they left the embassy and taken out of the country. Several were later returned to Hungary, executed, and buried in unmarked graves.
In 1991, after the fall of the USSR, the Russian government under Mikhail Gorbachev apologized to the Hungarian people for the brutal invasion of 1956. Boris Yeltsin repeated this apology in 1992, speaking before the Hungarian Parliament in Budapest.
- Does Star Trek represent a fascist society? Perhaps Communist? Well, think about it:
- There doesn't seem to be a civilian government, politics, or free elections. All the top-level decisions seem to come from Star Fleet Command, so the United Federation of Planets looks to be an Earth-centered military oligarchy.
- There's never any discussion of money or finance, as if free enterprise were irrelevant or non-existent.
- There's a lot of racial conflict: Klingons vs. Romulans vs. humans vs. all kinds of other freaky species, almost all of which seem to prefer their own kind over others.
- In the original series, at least, almost everyone in Star Fleet looks to be white. There's a token Asian (Sulu), a token black (Uhura), a token eastern European (Chekhov), a token Vulcan (Spock), and that's about it most of the time. In Star Trek: The Next Generation there was a greater variety of tokens, but by far the most common were still plain-vanilla white people, and even some of the token aliens (like Counselor Troi and all the Vulcans) looked remarkably just like plain vanilla white people with no more than maybe a weird ear or nose. Apparently Star Fleet is mostly a huge horde of of WASPy-looking white people. There's more diversity in Iowa than there is in Star Fleet.
- The Prime Directive appears to be inherently paternalistic, preferring to keep less-advanced people as quaint cultural exhibits rather than share with them potential labor- and life-saving technologies, thereby also preserving Federation supremacy of technology and power.
- All the Star Trek series, more so the later ones, seem to assume lefty-chic ideology, in fact in all but the original series it goes largely unquestioned. On the other hand, religion is either banished or ridiculed (a conscious decision by series creator Gene Roddenberry).
Is it a silly discussion? Of course it is, but it's fun and lots of people have put lots of energy into it — see here and here, for example. (For some other viewpoints, see here and here.) I mean, the whole point of Trekkie-ism is to pretend this stuff is serious, just as among devotees of Sherlock Holmes there's a universal convention that it's all to be treated as real history, even though they all know it's not. FYI: There are similar debates about Star Wars society, with many arguing that the Empire is actually in the right. Great topic for endless over-the-net debate.
- Putin to Bush: Mine's bigger than yours. Putin meant his dog, of course, remarking to Bush that Putin's black Labrador, Koni, was "bigger, stronger, and faster than Barney" (Bush's Scottish Terrier). Bush later related that anecdote to Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who remarked, "You're lucky he only showed you his dog." (Excerpts are from George W. Bush's upcoming book.)
- Latest restaurant fad: Eating dirt. And you'd better eat it, because this is at some very fancy restaurants and you'll pay a pretty penny for it. It's not quite the dirt you played with as a kid, but there are places where people eat that too.

Second only to Russia in size, China is a land of many people and climates. Climates vary from desert to high mountains, and from tropical to Siberian-like cold temperate.
China is often divided into China proper and the outer territories. China proper includes the Pacific coastal regions and the populous valleys of China's three great and storied rivers, the Hwang Ho, Yangtze Kiang, and Sikiang. The outer territories include Manchuria and Inner Mongolia to the north, Sinkiang in the west, and Tibet in the southwest.
Like most of eastern Asia, the main controlling factor in the climate, in all but the drier western parts of China, is the Asian monsoon.
Cold winds blow off the Siberian high pressure from October to April. Northern Siberia and the northern outer territories of Manchuria, Inner Mongolia and Sinkiang have very cold and dry winters resulting from the winter monsoon flow. Further south along the edges of the Siberian high pressure, disturbances bring occasional bouts of rain and snow and a few cold spells, but usually not the prolonged cold and snow cover of the north. In the drier interior, winter winds can cause dust storms to swirl and add to the discomfort.
From May to September, as the land mass warms faster than the ocean, the monsoon winds reverse bringing moist air from the Pacific and bringing the summer wet season to China proper and Manchuria. The peak rainfall reaches Shanghai in June and Beijing in July. By the time the flow reaches Inner Mongolia and Sinkiang, little moisture is left and these areas receive much less rainfall and are characterized by arid or semi-arid conditions.
The Tropical South, bordering the South China Sea (e.g. Hong Kong), and the Pacific East Coasts (e.g. Shanghai) of China are vulnerable to typhoons, especially from July to October. These storms can bring flooding rains and damaging winds. In between occasional typhoon threats, frequent showers are typical during the warm season. During the winter months, these regions are much sunnier, drier, and pleasant than areas to the north.
Tibet is a land of mostly high plateau bordering the world's highest mountains, the Himalayas. Winters in the higher elevations are severe with very cold temperatures, frequent light snows and very low wind chills. However, the winters are rather mild and dry in the lower valley areas. In both the high country and the valleys, most of the precipitation comes in summer in the form of rain showers with the monsoon winds.

2/2 UPDATE: ESPN will remove the ad, embedded below, from its site and post a statement, its Associate Director of Diversity, Stephanie Turner, told GLAAD's Sports Media program Monday afternoon.(PageOneQ)
2/1: ESPN has released a new commercial advertising a website that is being billed as the destination for information on the NBA. The site provides information on their 'NBA on ESPN RV Tour' a promotion for ABC and ESPN and scheduling for upcoming basketball games.
They have released this new commercial in which Shaquille O'Neal finds the homo insinuation of a "fist kiss" to be "weird & disgusting." He goes on to make fun of the suggestion, in an effeminate voice.
Networks like ESPN, ABC, and stars like Shaquille O'Neal should be held to a higher standard. Millions of young people look to these shows, and celebrities as role models and for their guidelines. Commercials like these perpetuate fear of homosexuality and continue a condemnation of gayness and gender expression.
Voice your concern by calling on ESPN/ABC to remove this offensive commercial immediately.

Police Officer Stops Car From Flipping Over Bridge With His Bare Hands
By Shared.com
December 7, 2017
A police officer is being called a real live 'Superman' by his colleges after he managed to pull off a miraculous save on a bridge. Officer Martin Willis was the first officer on the scene and his quick thinking helped save a man's life.
Willis arrived on the scene to find a vehicle hanging off the side of the bridge with a man trapped inside. It was teetering on the edge, ready to fall over but he wasn't about to let it happen. Instinctively he grabbed the wheel to "stop it swaying in the wind", and waited for help to arrive.
It took some time for the others to arrive, but he didn't give up. His fellow officers applauded him, and have given him a new nickname, but his reaction is so humble...

Jesse Jackson To Join Ron Daniels And Others At Major White House Protest Against Black Mass Incarceration Monday
[Major Protest In Washington, D.C.]
Amidst growing disaffection in some quarters of Black America with President Obama's failure to directly address a myriad of crises afflicting distressed Black communities, contingents of "Drum Majors for Justice" are planning a Day of Direct Action, Monday, June 17th in Washington, D.C., to mark the 42nd Anniversary of the "War on Drugs."
Mobilized by the Institute of the Black World 21st Century (IBW), drug and criminal justice policy reform advocates, faith leaders, heads of community-based organizations and formerly incarcerated leaders will call on President Obama to end the War on Drugs as a "pipeline" to the mass incarceration of Black people. Leaders will also demand massive, direct investment of jobs and economic development projects in urban inner-city neighborhoods plagued by joblessness, drugs, gun violence and fratricide.
Declaring the crises in distressed Black communities a "State of Emergency," Dr. Ron Daniels, President of IBW says, "There is a direct connection between the so called War on Drugs as a racially biased strategy and the devastation, death and destruction in America's dark ghettos. The recent ALCU Study of marijuana arrests clearly confirms what we have known for some time, the War on drugs is a war on us, a war that has severely damaged Black communities across the country. We need President Obama to go beyond lecturing us about 'personal responsibility' and declare the State of Emergency in America's dark ghettos a moral and political crisis which requires immediate action."
Date: Monday, June 17th - 42nd Anniversary of the War on Drugs
Where: Washington, D.C.
Time: 10:00 AM - Pre-Rally, Historic Metropolitan AME Church, 1518 M Street, NW 20005--- (Main speaker-Rev. Jesse Jackson)
11:00 AM - March to Lafayette Park (Across from the White House)
12:00 Noon - 2:00 PM - Rally at Lafayette Park

Jake Abel and Max Irons Talk About Rob and Mention Twilight
Jake: "You see all these guys you are competing with, and suddenly you're in a franchise that's being compared to Twilight."
Jake: "It's more of a love box than a love triangle."
Can you become the next Robert Pattinson?
Max: "It is a very lazy comparison, because Twilight was a phenomenon unto itself. Pattinson was chased down the streets of Paris before the films even came out. And he is doing well for himself. He has about five films with acclaimed directors lined up.
Jake: "A lot of people expect us to knock the Twilight cast. But Taylor Lautner is a really nice kid. Robert Pattinson, I couldn't imagine the tremendous amount of pressure he was under — and he earned my respect when I saw him fight for certain projects. Water for Elephants is a great novel, the movie is what it was. That's not his fault. That's the risk; we're the face of projects."

The tracts include some that Moab-based Living Rivers and Colorado Riverkeeper contend will hurt air quality at Arches National Park and contaminate groundwater used by residents if developed.
The sale was held Feb. 19 at the Salt Lake City office of the BLM.
Each parcel offered for auction was sold, with total receipts topping $4 million, according to the BLM. The average bid was $108.74 per acre.
"Percheron Energy, LLC, of Denver submitted the highest total bid per acre – $340 – for parcel 129 located in the BLM-Utah Canyon County District," according to a news release from the BLM. "All leases are issued with conditions on oil and gas activities to protect the environment …"
The agency's news release noted an environmental analysis under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) must be conducted to determine "site-specific need for various types of impact-limiting or mitigation measures" prior to development.
BLM spokeswoman Megan Crandall of the Salt Lake City office said public comment is taken as part of the NEPA process, giving citizens another chance to make their voices heard after leases are sold. She said the agency balances the goals of maximum yield along with environmentally sound practices.
"Our responsibility is to make sure we are doing the things we need to do so that any energy development that takes place is done responsibly," Crandall said.
But Living Rivers wrote in its pre-sale comment that several parcels should have been withdrawn because of potential adverse environmental effects. Those included parcels 15, 171 and 174 near Archest National Park and the Dolores River, which joins the Colorado River in Grand County, the organization wrote.
"Development of these parcels is not consistent with the values of the Three Rivers Special Recreation Management Area … [and] with the values of the Three Rivers Withdrawal, which is to protect the outstanding recreation, scenic, wildlife and cultural values of the river corridors in eastern Utah," Living River's comment said. "Wildlife values include foraging and/or breeding habitat that is crucial for deer, elk, pronghorn, prairie dog, borrowing owl and hawk."
Living Rivers added, "Fugitive gases from oil and gas operations in this area will have cumulative impacts on air quality at Arches National Park. Arches NP does not have a station to monitor air quality and the station in Canyonlands has recorded pollution levels near exceedance. Until air quality is better understood at Arches NP, these parcels should be deferred so that increasing levels of harm can be eliminated."
Harvey Mineral Partners of Dallas, Texas, purchased all three parcels.
Land Professionals Inc. of Afton, Wyo., purchased a particularly contentious parcel in San Juan County. Kiley Miller said parcel 42, near the home she shares with partner John Rzeczycki, could pollute their residential groundwater if developed.
Living Rivers agreed, writing in its protest that the parcel should be deferred "… in consideration of the threat to residents of Kane Creek, Bridger Jack Mesa, and Brown's Hole. These homeowners have investments in infrastructure that provides clean drinking water.
"Other investments at risk include depreciation of property values. Risks to welfare and health include air pollution from fugitive gases, with other nuisances such as dust, noise, and impairment of night skies."

Many times it takes a crisis for someone to change their lifestyle. An unexpected heart attack might lead a person to exercise more. A high blood pressure reading could lead to a change in diet. A loved one grappling with lung cancer may motivate a smoker to give up the habit.
Many times it takes a crisis for someone to change their lifestyle. An unexpected heart attack might lead a person to exercise more. A high blood pressure reading could lead to a change in diet. A loved one grappling with lung cancer may motivate a smoker to give up the habit.
But what about the hundreds or thousands of Davidson County residents who don't face a situation like this yet exhibit unhealthy traits? What will it take to cause them to make those necessary lifestyles changes? Those are the questions with which health professionals are grappling. If education serves as part of the answer — and it certainly does — then the latest state health ranking offers the latest fodder.
Davidson County continues to fall in rankings of the healthiest counties in North Carolina. The latest study put Davidson County as the 56th healthiest county in the state. In the past four reports, the county has ranked 41st, 39th, 50th and now 56th. The trend is heading in the wrong direction. The ranking also dove-tails with results found in a comprehensive health assessment commissioned by the health department and the county's two hospitals.
Not only is the measured health of the county falling, it also lags in comparison with counties that have a similar size and population. Adjacent Iredell ranks 21st and Randolph 36th. Nearby Alamance (31st) and Catawba (47th) also fare better.
Some of the study's findings require long-term attention, such as attracting more medical providers. Others require extensive educational efforts to point out the risk from unhealthy behaviors and the advantage to healthy ones, such as more exercise, a better diet and smoking cessation. No single solution exists to the identified deficiencies.
Hope can be found, though. The health department, Wake Forest Baptist Health — Lexington Medical Center and Thomasville Medical Center are all working together to tackle some of the issues identified in the health assessment. Anytime groups can work together to tackle a problem the chance for success increases. Additionally, a collaborative effort between the medical profession and faith community will kick off later this year and provides the potential for a new approach to improving residents' health.
One short-term goal could be for all those working to address the problem to focus on some issues that can be improved rather quickly so the county's health ranking begins to rise. The message can be delivered through schools, churches, the media, civic groups and other outlets. Then attention can shift to those longer-term, more difficult challenges. Hopefully Davidson County residents will understand that a healthier lifestyle leads to feeling better today, lower medical costs and a longer life.

Sept. 6, 2008
PORTLAND, Maine – The Maine Maritime Academy Mariners and the MIT Engineers scored on seven straight possessions in the second half before MIT pulled out the victory on its last drive and 30 seconds left in the fourth quarter. The game featured 874 yards of total offense and some outstanding performances by both teams while the Engineers were victorious in the first-ever meeting between the two schools, 42-39.
MIT junior DeRon Brown and senior Robert Utz were outstanding in the win, combining for 236 yards and three touchdowns to pace an excellent ground attack. Brown paced all carriers by rushing for a career-high 184 yards on 28 carries and scoring two touchdowns. Utz, who sprinted seven yards for the game-winning score, closed with 52 yards on 14 carries.
Junior quarterback Rick Mancuso, who returned to the lineup after missing the entire 2007 campaign, converted 18-of-27 passes for 152 yards and two touchdowns. Mancuso's top target on the afternoon was senior wide receiver Kevin Vogelsang, who finished the day with eight catches for 75 yards and a touchdown.
The Engineers got on the board first, scoring on their second drive of the game as Mancuso threw a two-yard strike to tight end Thomas Franklin in the back of the end zone to put MIT up 6-0. Peter Gilliland, who enjoyed an extraordinary day of versatility, converted the first of his four extra-point attempts to cap the drive and push the score to 7-0.
Maine Maritime answered back on its next possession when Tyler Angell hit Alex Coulombe for a 43-yard touchdown pass on the second play of the drive. The ensuing extra-point attempt was blocked by William Vega-Brown, which kept MIT in front. The Engineers went three-and-out on their next possession and turned the ball back over to the Mariners, who marched 76 yards down the field before Jonathan Farrin ended the drive with a five-yard run into the end zone. Jim Bower converted the two-point conversion from the ground to push the MMA lead to 14-7.
MIT bounced right back and scored with 1:32 left in the half when Mancuso hooked up with Kevin Vogelsang in the back corner of the end zone from 18 yards out. The Mariners got the ball back with 43 seconds to go in the half at their own 47-yard line and proceeded to score again before the end of the half. The MMA offense worked the ball down to the MIT 16-yard line with 6.2 seconds left on the clock when Angell connected with Coulombe for a touchdown at the horn.
The second half turned into a track meet as the teams combined for 46 points. At one point in the half, the Mariners and Engineers exchanged blows by scoring on seven straight possessions to keep the fans on the edge of their seats.
The Engineers answered MMA's half-closing score by finding the end zone on their first possession of the stanza when Brown ran the ball off of the right tackle from one-yard out. The drive consumed over eight minutes and took 14 plays before Gilliland converted his third extra point of the afternoon to tie the score at 21.
The Mariners responded quickly, taking only four plays to score on a 51-yard hookup between Angell and sophomore wide out Josh Elwell. Brennan missed his second extra point of the afternoon which left the Mariners up by six. Ben Grannan capped an eight-play, 69-yard drive on MIT's next possession with a four-yard touchdown run to reclaim the lead for the Engineers.
Trailing 28-27, Maine Maritime once again responded with a long drive of its own. Bower's rush from one-yard out finished off a 10-play, 76-yard drive and put the Mariners ahead by five points.
Keeping the pace hot, the Engineers once again scored on their next possession as Brown scampered in from 21 yards out to put MIT back on top, 34-33. Looking to extend their lead, the two-point conversion pass failed as Mancuso threw an incomplete pass intended for Grannan.
MMA refused to yield and forced MIT to orchestrate another drive after Bower rushed off the right guard from and found pay dirt for the second time on the afternoon with a seven-yard carry into the end zone. Trailing by five, MIT delivered the final blow on the afternoon as they capped off a late rally with Utz running the ball in from the MMA seven-yard line with 30 seconds left in regulation. The ensuing two–point conversion was good and the three-point lead would be enough to ice the game for the Engineers.
MMA outgained MIT, 470-404 in total offense, but MIT dominated time of possession. Tech's defense was led by linebackers Peter Gilliland and defensive back Kevin Foley, who had nine tackles each. In addition to pacing the defensive unit, Gilliland punted twice for an average of 39.5 yards, had seven kick-offs and closed 4-of-4 on PAT's. The rookie from Grand Ledge, Mich., also made an interception on the final play of the game.

Vulture range countries in South Asia adopt a regional declaration and action plan for transboundary conservation of endangered vulture species
In a groundbreaking step towards vulture conservation in South Asia, the governments of Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan adopted a Regional Declaration on the Conservation of South Asia's Critically Endangered Vulture Species in Delhi on 4 May 2012. The four governments agreed to take stringent measures to remove toxic, "vulture killing" drugs from the environment, including diclofenac, identified as the single most important cause for the catastrophic decline of vulture populations across South Asia.
Recognising the need to scale-up conservation breeding and reintroduction programmes, the governments also agreed to create transboundary Vulture Safe Zones to conserve vulture populations in the wild. A South Asia Regional Steering Committee for Vulture Conservation has been established to coordinate and guide these measures.
The four vulture range countries adopted the declaration at the Symposium on Developing a Regional Response to the Conservation of South Asia's Critically Endangered Vulture Species, held in Delhi on 3-4 May 2012. The symposium focussed on three vulture species that are now facing extinction in the wild: the White-rumped Vulture (Gyps bengalensis), the Indian Vulture (Gyps indicus) and the Slender-billed Vulture (Gyps tenuirostris). All three species have been included on the IUCN Red List as Critically Endangered.
According to The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™, 10 of the world's 23 vulture species are threatened with extinction, with the most rapid declines occurring in Asia. The White-rumped Vulture has suffered a population decline of more than 99.9 per cent in just 15 years. The Indian and Slender-billed vulture populations dropped by 97 per cent in the same duration from 1992 to 2007.
Adopting the declaration, the four South Asian countries pledged to develop and foster active partnerships amongst Governments, research institutions, civil society, private sector and international organizations to further accelerate vulture conservation in the region. The symposium was organised by the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF), Government of India, and the Central Zoo Authority of India (CZA). Coorganised by the Wildlife Institute of India (WII-Dehradun), Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS-Mumbai) and IUCN, International Union for Conservation of Nature, the event saw the participation of some of the world's leading vulture experts, senior government representatives from the four countires and national and international NGOs and members of the civil society.
Welcoming the development, Mr P R Sinha, Director, WII said, "The range countries in South Asia have been working on vulture conservation ever since the alarming drop of the populations was noticed. However, the realisation that one country alone would not be able to tackle such a serious and transbounday issue was a start to this process of collective action to save the various species of vultures under the threat of extinction."
Dr Jagdish Kishwan, Additional Director General of Forests (Wildlife), MoEF, stressed on the institutionalisation of a regional network where government officials, scientists and NGOs can come together to save the vulture populations in South Asia. "There are issues and bottlenecks in the conservation of the vulture," he said. "All the countries in the region have to work together with clearly defined role for each. International agencies can make this collaboration efective."
Reiterating the importance to work across sectors and regionally, Ms Aban Marker Kabraji, IUCN Asia Regional Director said, "We need to work with a wide range of stakeholders, including the private sector, and at regional scale to achieve long term recovery of the declining vulture population. IUCN can create the platform for multi-stakeholder engagement at the regional scale. We hope that this symposium will lead to the endorsement of a regional declaration on vulture conservation and that it will catalyze more collaboration among the range states. We hope that we will be able to access international funding to support the critical conservation actions required in the four vulture range countries."
Support for such a collective regional effort for a comprehensive programme on conserving vultures was pledged by Mr B S Bonal, Member Secretary, CZA. "CZA has encouraged 5 zoos across the country to develop breeding programmes through financial support for the establishment of ex-situ facilities. CZA has also provided technical support to the vulture programme by organizing workshops for all stakeholders in Pinjore between 2006 and 2011. Accomplishments must be replicated at a regional scale, bringing together governments, relevant organizations and local communities. As borders do not exist in the wildlife world, so must they not divide our efforts to restore populations across boundaries, particularly between the 4 range countries of Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan."
As scavengers, vultures have an important ecological role and these population declines have serious consequences for humans and the environment. Mr Chris Bowden, Co-Chair of the IUCN Vulture Specialist Group (part of the larger IUCN Species Survival Commission) drove the message home about the consequences of a decline in vulture populations. "A single vulture would consume 3 kilograms of meat a week. If we consider the fact that nearly 99 per cent of the 40 million vultures in South Asia have disappeared, that leaves us with 10 million tonnes of putrefying meat lying around every year causing enormous environmental and health hazards," he said.
The decline in vulture populations throughout the region has been directly attributed to the veterinary use of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac, ingested by vultures consuming carcasses of cattle that had recently been treated with the drug. Diclofenac causes renal failure and death for vultures and due to the strength of the drug and the tendency of vultures to feed in large groups.
Research has shown that just one in 760 livestock carcasses needs to contain diclofenac to cause the population decline that has been observed. Despite a manufacturing ban in Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan and a ban of its sale and veterinary use in India, research shows that this drug is still affecting vulture populations in Asia. Researchers at the symposium pointed out that while the veterinary use of the drug has been banned, it is still legal for use on humans and is sold in large multi-dose vials. As a result it continues to be purchased by vets and livestock owners and used illegally for veterinary purposes.
One of the most important outcomes of the symposium was an agreement to take measures to prevent the sale of these multi-dose vials of human diclofenac. The governments also agreed to restrict the use of other veterinary drugs that are known to be toxic to vultures including ketoprofen and aceclofenac.
Experts also stressed the need for large scale awareness campaigns with the civil society and the private sector, particularly the pharmaceutical industry. "The cooperation of the pharmaceutical industry is needed to prevent the use of multi-dose vials of human diclofenac for veterinary use and to conduct further research and development on products that do not harm the vulture population. We have to understand that the social and environmental costs of the disappearance of vultures are unimaginably higher compared to any extra paisa that we may spend on manufacturing or buying drugs," said Mr Homi R Khusrokhan, President of BNHS and member of Saving Asia's Vultures from Extinction (SAVE). He stressed that in order to make vulture safe zones more effective, pre-testing of carcasses meant for feeding the birds in these areas is essential. "It is also imperative that there is dissemination of information regarding these drugs and their impact on vultures to vets, pharmacies and other relevant people in the countries of the region," he added.
While there are still many rough edges to iron out, participants in the meeting feel this is significant step towards a regional collaboration that can bear fruit. "The idea of this symposium and the steering committee is to have impacts at two levels. While the countries can now strive to look at vulture conservation from a transboundary perspective, such as creating vulture safe zones across boundaries, it will also be a collective effort in generating resources," said Dr Scott Perkin, Head, IUCN Regional Biodiversity Conservation Programme, Asia.
According to the organisers, the steering committee is the beginning of a larger process of formulating proposals for large funds to work on vulture conservation in South Asia. They also aim highlight the issue at the Eleventh Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biodiversity (CBD COP 11) to be held in Hyderabad, India, in October 2012.

Production of the Mustang began in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964 and the car was introduced to the general public on April 17, 1964 at the New york city World's Fair. It is Ford's third oldest nameplate presently in production. Original sales forecasts projected less than 100,000 devices for the first year. This mark was surpassed in 3 months from rollout. Another 318,000 would be offered during the design year (a record), and in its very first eighteen months, more than one million Mustangs were built.
Buy Classic Ford Mustangs
All these were VIN-identified as 1965 models, but a number of modifications were made at the standard opening of the new model year (beginning August 1964), consisting of the addition of back-up lights on some designs, the introduction of generators to change generators, and an upgrade of the V8 engine from 260 cu in to 289 cu in. In the case of a minimum of some six-cylinder Mustangs fitted with the 101 hp 170 cu in Falcon engine, the rush into production included some uncommon quirks, such as a horn ring bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo beneath a trim ring emblazoned with 'Ford Mustang.' These qualities made enough difference to warrant classification of the 121,538 earlier ones as "1964 1/2" model-year Mustangs, a distinction that has withstood with purists. Mustangs For Sale in Portage WI are easy to find now with online shopping.
The 1973 OPEC oil embargo brought with it more strict pollution laws and the desire for fuel-efficiency. This was also the first time in automobile history that the Huge 3 were having to compete with imports. The new Mustang II was smaller than the very first version but, due to the extra devices required to meet new United States emission and security regulations, was much heavier than the first model. Efficiency was lowered and in the first year only 385,993 cars were offered.
Second generation Mustangs for sale in Portage WI were readily available between 1974 and 1978 and available in a coupe and hatchback variation. 1979 the Mustang was revamped a 3rd time. This time it was based on the larger Fox platform and the interior was really huge enough for four individuals. The trunk was bigger and so was the engine bay. The body designs readily available included a coupe, hatchback and in 1983 a convertible. In 1979 the Third generation Mustang acted as an Indianapolis 500 pace car and Ford constructed 10,478 commemorative replicas. The third generation Mustangs were produced from 1979 to 1982.

Tim Whitehead's 12-year tenure as coach of the University of Maine men's hockey team is over after the team's third losing season in the past six years.
Whitehead, the national coach of the year in 2002, was fired Tuesday morning with a year remaining on a contract extension that he signed in 2010. The university will pay him a $195,000 buyout — a year's pay plus $5,000 in lieu of notice.
The money will come from private sources, said Athletic Director Steve Abbott, who pointed to a university written statement saying that "no funds will be reallocated from the current university budget committed to academic programs, faculty, student or operational needs."
Abbott said the decision to fire Whitehead was not easy, and ultimately was made by university President Paul Ferguson, in consultation with Abbott.
In a phone interview, Abbott said, "Tim's done a lot of good things for the program. He coached with tremendous integrity and he has given us a group of players we're very proud of. For those reasons, it makes it a very difficult decision."
Whitehead's teams missed the NCAA tournament in five of the past six years, while the base of season ticket holders shrank from a high of more than 3,600 to the current 1,900. Average attendance at Alfond Arena fell by 1,000 fans per game to 4,175 this season, the lowest since 1991-92.
"We wanted to add some energy and excitement to our program," Abbott said. "We're looking to have this program compete for championships at the Hockey East level and at the national level, and we want to find a coach who will get us there."
A search committee will begin that process soon, said Abbott, who two years ago fired women's basketball coach Cindy Blodgett with a year remaining on her contract.
Whitehead released a statement saying, "My family and I feel blessed to have been part of the Maine hockey family, and we will always cherish the relationships we have built, both at the university and in the Bangor community."
Last month, the Black Bears completed an 11-19-8 season in which they won only two games at Alfond Arena. With a lineup that depended on freshmen and suffered a series of injuries, they started the season 2-11-2.
A late-season surge earned them the eighth and final berth in the Hockey East conference playoffs, where they lost 4-2 and 2-1 in a best-of-three quarterfinal series to top seed and eventual tournament champion University of Massachusetts-Lowell.
But the late-season improvement wasn't enough to save Whitehead's job.
"This is about the future of our marquee program," Abbott said. "The president and I are committed to ensuring that our men's hockey program is financially sustainable, continues to focus on developing the student-athlete and is known nationally for excellence."
Four of the team's top five scorers — freshmen Devin Shore, Ben Hutton, Ryan Lomberg and Steven Swavely — and all three goaltenders — juniors Martin Ouellette and Dan Sullivan and freshman Matt Morris — are set to return next season.
Abbott informed the team of Whitehead's dismissal Tuesday afternoon.
Mike Cornell, one of this year's captains, told The Associated Press that Whitehead's departure was disappointing news, but the players understand that good coaches sometimes have to go.
No one wanted to win more than Whitehead, Cornell said, and he had the team's respect.
"At a school like Maine, it's not just for fun. It's big business and there are high expectations," said Cornell, who now plays for the Florida Everblades of the East Coast Hockey League.
Whitehead compiled an overall record of 250-171-54 in his time at UMaine, which followed five years as head coach of UMass-Lowell. He also coached at Middlebury College in Vermont and was a graduate assistant to Shawn Walsh at Maine in 1990-91.
Walsh, a colorful and often controversial figure, built the program to national prominence and won NCAA titles in 1993 and 1999. When he died of cancer in the fall of 2001, Whitehead returned to Orono.
He guided the Black Bears to the 2002 national title game in St. Paul, where they lost to Minnesota in overtime, and was named national Division I Coach of the Year.
Maine reached another national championship game in 2004, and got to the Frozen Four in 2006 and 2007.
In his first six seasons, Whitehead had a record of 154-69-26 and went to the NCAA tournament every year. The next six included three losing seasons and only one tournament appearance, last spring.
Whitehead's record over the past six years was 96-102-28.
His statement Tuesday pointed to successes off the ice.
"We worked hard to establish a culture of academic excellence and social responsibility that we can all be proud of," Whitehead said. "In addition, we completed the fundraising and construction of the $3.75 million Shawn Walsh Hockey Center in 2005 and the $4.85 million Alfond Arena Renovation Project in 2012."
Whitehead said he is most proud of the mutual respect among his players, coaches and staff, and that the program's future is promising.
"I'm confident this team will build on our strong second half of this season, and that they will compete among the top programs in the nation next year," he said.
Abbott said assistant coaches Bob Corkum, Dan Kerluke and David Alexander remain under contract until June 30.
There is no timetable to name a successor to Whitehead.
"I'm certain we will have a very strong applicant pool," Abbott said. "We think we've got a program with very talented players and we want to be certain we get the right person for our program."

My uncle used to work at a home fabrics distributor company before they went out of business. I don't know exactly the reason why, but he had a bolt of fabric left over from those days sitting in his basement. When he learned of my love of sewing, he gave this bolt of fabric to me as a gift. That fabric, which made this dress,originally, was a white polyester. I dyed a couple yards yellow, made a pattern and constructed this dress. I love it!
P.S. I have uploaded the pattern, in PDF form, to my Etsy shop, so feel free to make your own!

Multiple People Shot at Lone Star College North Harris Campus in Houston Area
- 3 people reported, including 1 gunman, wounded by gunshot at Lone Star College in North Houston
- Reports of 2 gunmen, both in custody
- 4th person suffered heart attack
- Updates Below
Update at 4:20pm - CNN reports that 2 suspects are now in custody and
An unidentified Lone Star College student who says she witnessed some of the shooting told CNN affiliate KHOU that an argument between two people preceded the gunfire.
A gunman, she said, told someone: "I don't want to fight you; I'm not trying to go to jail."
The witness appeared to reference only one gunman; it wasn't clear whether she saw a second gunman. She said he "actually turned away from the situation" at first but eventually pulled a gun out of a backpack. She said she heard about nine shots.
"I think it was a bunch of crap that could've been resolved and never should have gone that far," the witness said.
Update at 2:59pm - Texas Gov. Rick Perry is being briefed about the situation by law enforcement personnel, Perry spokesman Josh Havens said.
"(Perry's) thoughts and prayers are with those that have been impacted," Havens said. "We have nothing more to add at this point, but the governor will continue to closely monitor the situation."
Update at 2:34 - Student, Amanda Vasquez, spoke with CNN about the shooting
Update at 2:16pm - CNN also reports that a 'someone' has suffered a heart attack.
Update at 1:52pm - CNN reports that the shooting was initiated between 2 people and those injured were caught in a 'crossfire'. One suspect was wounded and in custody, the 2nd is still 'on the loose'.
Update at 1:43pm - Multiple outlets are reporting that at least 3 people, possibly including suspect, have been shot. Reports of a second suspect have surfaced as well.
Original Report at 1:35pm
A student told Eyewitness News she heard five shots, and they sounded as if they occurred outside, in an area between the library and the cafeteria. Other students say they heard gunshots when they were in cafeteria.
Medical crews could be seen tending to at least three victims outside the building. Their conditions are not known. At least one gunshot was taken by ground ambulance to Ben Taub Hospital. It's not known where the second gunshot victim is being treated.

When Child SA rekeying was initiated by one end (A), in parallel the other end (B) triggered an IKE SA rekeying.
What should be the nominal message exchange in this case (I didn't find it specified in the rfc) ?
This is what happens in my case (seen at 'A's side in /var/log/syslog + on the wireshark trace capturing the A<->B message exchanges):
'A' sent Create Child SA request to 'B' and immediately it received the Create Child SA request from 'B', 'A' complaining that "peer initiated rekeying, but a child is half-open", then 'A' generated the CREATE_CHILD_SA response 0 [ N(NO_PROP) ]. Next 'A" received CREATE_CHILD_SA response 6 [ N(NO_ADD_SAS) ] from 'B' and in syslog was additionally mentioned: "peer seems to not support CHILD_SA rekeying, starting reauthentication".
And after that 'A' sent Informational (delete IKE SA) to 'B':
IKE_SA state change: ESTABLISHED => DELETING
sending DELETE for IKE_SA
added payload of type DELETE to message
generating INFORMATIONAL request 7 [ D ]
generating payload of type DELETE
When the response was received from 'B' and decrypted:
parsed INFORMATIONAL response 7 [ ]
IKE_SA deleted
Finally 'A' triggered IKE SA Init, IKE Auth and Create Child SA.
I find abnormal this scenario, but don't know which of the two ends behaves wrongly, so thanks for any help from your side.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano is poised to become the first female president of the 145-year-old University of California system.
Napolitano is expected to lead UC following a Board of Regents vote next Thursday.
A 10-member search committee nominated Napolitano after looking at roughly 300 candidates for the post.
"She was clearly the unanimous choice of the search committee, and we're excited to have her join us," said Bruce Varner, chairman of the Board of Regents. "I think probably what stood out with her obviously is her leadership qualities, (including) her ability to not only deal with all the problems, but her ability to work with political people, not only in the University of California, but with the Legislature and the governor."
Napolitano resigned her post at the Department of Homeland Security, telling senior staff on Friday she was going to California.
A Democrat and former governor of Arizona, Napolitano is an unorthodox pick to become the 20th president of the UC system, as appointees to the office typically are academics.
Mark G. Yudof, the outgoing president who took office in 2008, was a faculty member and administrator for 26 years at the University of Texas at Austin before heading the University of Minnesota and then becoming chancellor of the University of Texas system.
How a politician like Napolitano will fare in the UC system — with its pinched budget and a student body increasingly frustrated with rising tuition and loan debt — remains to be seen.
Gov. Jerry Brown anticipated criticism of Napolitano as unqualified, saying in a statement that she "has the strength of character and an outsider's mind that will well serve the students and faculty."
Born in New York City, Napolitano, 55, grew up in Pittsburgh and Albuquerque. She graduated in 1979 from Santa Clara University with a bachelor's degree in political science. Napolitano earned her law degree from the University of Virginia and in 1998 became the first female attorney general of Arizona.
President Barack Obama in 2008 appointed Napolitano to head homeland security. She had served as Arizona's governor since 2003.
Napolitano received sharp criticism from Republicans over immigration, including her effort to help establish a plan to provide temporary relief from deportation for thousands of young immigrants who arrived in the United State illegally and who don't have legal status.
"Obviously, anyone who has been those roles is going to come with a certain amount of criticism," said Varner, an Inland Empire attorney and Republican who was nominated by former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger for the UC Board of Regents in 2006.
More than 234,000 students are enrolled in the 10-campus UC system.
Napolitano earned $200,000 a year in Obama's cabinet. A large raise in pay, after negotiations, is expected to come with her new job. Yudof had a $600,000 salary.

For Cailin Manson, founder and director of the Germantown Concert Chorus (GCC), the world literally is his stage. Manson, 30, of Mt. Airy, has sung at St. Mark's Basilica in Venice, Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris and other concert venues in Europe and Asia. "I've performed on every continent except Antarctica," said Manson, whose baritone voice is as smooth and rich as crème brulee.
Manson has brought international savoir faire to GCC, which developed from the 200th anniversary of St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Germantown from 2010 to 2011. The celebration included a three-hour performance of Handel's "Messiah," which required 80 singers. "The church is big, but there was standing room only," Manson said. Thanks to the "Messiah," Manson met many talented amateur singers.
Despite the success of the "Messiah," Manson didn't rush to found GCC. "I asked myself if I felt called to the task and ready to take on the work involved," he said. "At GCC I'm the conductor, coach, fundraiser, underwriter, public relations man and more." Foresight about GCC's potential benefits may have urged him on. "We're learning songs in German and Hebrew," said Naomi Dobson, a member since GCC's founding 18 months ago. "The music challenges me. It's staving off Alzheimer's," she said, laughing.
While Manson draws on numerous composers and rhythms to build GCC's repertoire, Dobson hints that Manson's skill as a conductor must have come from elsewhere. "For the kind of gift he has as a conductor, he must have been a musician in previous lives," she says.
Manson's mother, Linda Manson, who sings in GCC's alto section, puts it another way. "I have three other sons," she said. "Cailin is my youngest. He was always different, always bossy. It's been humbling to watch him grow, to be with him for the day-to-day journey."
By age two or three, Manson could climb up on the piano bench and pick out a tune by ear. "Music was always in our home, and my parents have strong singing voices" said Manson, raised in Mt. Airy. He attended high school in the Cheltenham School District, where he sang in the choir and played the trombone. Upon graduating from Cheltenham at 16, he entered Temple University's Esther Boyer College of Music on a scholarship. Later, he earned master's degrees in opera and orchestral conducting from the Mozarteum Salzburg in Austria.
Already known as an opera soloist, Manson was also guest conductor and then music director for Vorarlberger Musikfest in Bregenz, Austria, from 2008-2010. He was also music director and then conductor of the now-disbanded Chamber Symphony of Atlantic City. With GCC, Manson faced weaving the singers' varied strengths into a distinctive sound. "The chorus has retired music teachers, professional musicians, some people who read music well and others who don't," he said. "The singers' passion for music unites them."
In time, Manson noticed something happening. "People began to offer each other rides to rehearsals," he said. "They started sharing with one another on a personal level. One woman asked for prayers for her sick mother. We have community rather than competition. Music-making has deepened into caring for each other."
The 53-member chorus, open to the public, includes singers of different ages, races and ethnicities. Manson considers such identities trappings that are foreign to the music. "The ethic I foster in rehearsal is to get them outside of themselves," he said. "The most important person, if anyone, is the composer and his or her intention."
For Manson, a grassroots chorus and artistic excellence go together. He stretches GCC with dissonances and rhythmically difficult work. "We have the gall to take on pieces like Leonard Bernstein's 'Chichester Psalms,'" Manson said. "After all, we've already performed at the Kimmel Center, the region's premier stage." The chorus also sings in Hebrew, French and German. Manson speaks all of those languages, in addition to Italian. He also reads Russian and Czech.
Living as an artist often means juggling several gigs. In 2009, to help singers at St. Luke's Church prepare for the 200th anniversary celebration, Manson founded the Germantown Institute for Vocal Arts. This two-week summer intensive, a training program for aspiring classical singers, includes performances and master classes. Manson has also been artistic director of the Montgomery County Youth Orchestra, Hanover Township, since 2009. He conducts, coaches and rehearses students from ages 10 to 19.

The phone calls started coming into the Ventura Harbor Patrol around 6 a.m. Monday. Boaters were already noticing a large number of dead fish floating in the water. One officer said that in the past year, there have been three or four times that this has happened, and in recent days, he was worried that this was going to happen again.
Once again, something's fishy along our Southern California coastline: Another fish die-off, this one in the Ventura Harbor.
"It looks like the majority of them are anchovies and sardines and I saw a few perch though also," said Pat Hummer, senior patrol officer at the harbor. "We're talking thousands, there's a lot of fish."
Hummer is the senior patrol officer for Ventura Harbor. He says the fish likely died from lack of oxygen. And he says he thought that for the past week, this might happen.
"There was just a lot of baitfish in this harbor the last few days and when they all come in, they all suck up all that oxygen out of the water and that's when they start struggling," said Hummer.
Sea lions, seagulls, and pelicans have been swooping in to eat the fish. The rest are being cleaned up by the Ventura Harbor Patrol.
"We got the majority," said Hummer. "We probably got 90-something percent of the dead fish out of the harbor. And I think Mother Nature, the birds, the sea lions will take care of hopefully the rest of them."
This fish kill is on a much smaller scale compared to what was seen in Redondo Beach early last month when 2.5 million sardines were killed weighing roughly 175 tons.
"Well we've taken and disposed of about 15 to 20 fifty-gallon barrels of dead fish," said Hummer.
Because this is a relatively small number of anchovies and sardines, the Game and Fish Commission gave the Harbor Patrol the OK to go and dump the fish out at sea and let nature take its course, but there's still a lot of baitfish in the harbor and some of the officers were saying they are a little concerned that this might happen again Tuesday.

Air India relief plane returns, India lauds Pakistan's cooperation (Evening Lead)July 9th, 2012 - 9:32 pm ICT by IANS
New Delhi/Islamabad, July 9 (IANS) A special Air India relief plane landed at Delhi airport Monday with 122 passengers of another flight that had to make an emergency landing in Pakistan's southern Sindh province early Monday morning. India lauded the "good cooperation" from the Pakistani authorities for ensuring the safe return of the passengers.
India sent the Air India Airbus A-320 to pick up the passengers from Nawabshah airport in Sindh. Flight AI-940, which departed Abu Dhabi at 0015 hours Monday after originating from Bahrain, had to make the landing at Nawabshah airport early Monday after the pilot noticed a hydraulic failure warning.
The pilot made the emergency landing at about 2:57 am (IST) in Nawabshah.
The passengers looked visibly relieved and happy to be back home.
"This sort of thing can happen with any airline and this does not mean that I will not be travelling with AI again. It was one of the scariest experiences but I am relieved to be home," U. Radhakrishnan, who had gone to meet his daughter in Abu Dhabi, told IANS at Delhi airport.
"The crew was very good and we were treated very nicely. I will surely be traveling with Air India again," said 19-year-old Akshay Purohit.
The passengers were received by Ashok Tomar, special secretary in India's external affairs ministry. Tomar lauded the "good cooperation" from the Pakistani authorities.
"I just want to say that the flight with the passengers has just landed as also the original flight AI-940 with the baggage is on its way back and should be landing soon," he said.
"The passengers got good cooperation from the Pakistani authorities and we are happy this situation has ended and the passengers are back.
"The Pakistani authorities went out of their way and were very helpful and cooperative in providing emergency landing to the Air India flight, providing speedy clearances for the relief plane, providing water and refreshments to the stranded passengers and offering transit visa to passengers, if needed," official sources in New Delhi said.
"The assengers were very well treated by the Pakistani authorities. They had to get the equipment necessary for getting the problem sorted out, so the engineers had to go and put things together. Pakistani authorities were very positive and helpful," the sources said.
According to sources in the Pakistan high commission in New Delhi, the passengers were given visas on arrival at the airport and were provided hospitality and support by the Pakistan government.
Indian Foreign Secretary Ranjan Mathai was in touch with the Indian High Commission in Islamabad to ensure that the passengers returned safely home. The Indian high commission also ensured that passengers were given meals and were looked after all, said official sources.
According to an Air India official, the passengers were well taken care of, with senior officials contacting an airport restaurant at Nawabshah for providing meals and other basic provisions to the passengers. A team of technical experts from Pakistan's Civil Aviation Authority is also helped out its Indian counterparts.
"Since Nawabshah airport is a non-scheduled civilian airport, passengers without a visa are not allowed to disembark. But we are providing meals and basic provisions through a local restaurant at Nawabshah," the official said.
According to the official, a team of Air India engineers and technicians was also sent to Nawabshah on the relief aircraft and it would stay back to investigate the possible causes for the hydraulic failure alert, repair the same and bring the aircraft back.
"The pilot suspected a hydraulic failure in the aircraft after a warning beeper. So the pilot requested permission for emergency landing. The engineers will determine the exact glitch repair the same. We expect the aircraft to return soon," the official said.
"The aircraft was flying over Pakistan air space when the pilot saw a warning light in the cockpit and sought permission to land at the nearest airport which was Nawabshah," said an Air India official.
According to sources, the aviation ministry has submitted a report on the emergency landing to the prime minister.

There have always been stories about strange goings on at the USO such as cold spots where the temperature changes rapidly, lights that randomly turn off and on, a basement called the �dungeon� and a crawl space with a chair and broken pencils that roll at will.
Hello, friends and neighbors.
There have always been stories about strange goings on at the USO such as cold spots where the temperature changes rapidly, lights that randomly turn off and on, a basement called the �dungeon� and a crawl space with a chair and broken pencils that roll at will.
Eric and Jessica Dionne grew up in Jacksonville hearing those stories so when the couple founded SEPIA (Southeast Paranormal Investigatons Inc.) in 2006, the USO was one of the sites chosen to investigate. In July 2011, the preliminary investigation found five sites of paranormal activity at the USO.
The final investigation was delayed in September by a hurricane and missed the production of Ghosthunters. SEPIA, along with Ghosthunters television show and 99.5 Radio X, will complete the investigation at the USO at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 31, which is Halloween.
Anyone wishing to tag along can do so for a donation of $25. Tickets are available by calling the USO at 910-455-3411 or online at USO USO-NC.org. You can also enter to win free tickets at 995theX.com.
USO stories
USO director Deborah Fisher tells the story of a World War II veteran who used to come to the USO every day to take a shower and read the paper. One night at closing the staff found him dead in the shower. She also tells the story of a veteran volunteer who was leery of taking the trash out because he would see a transparent woman in the backyard with a look of pain on her face.
Former director Judy Pitchford said, �you would just feel it. Chills would come over you. When you walked through certain parts of the auditorium, it was always cold. Lights would go on and off, especially in the auditorium, there was a lot of activity in the auditorium.�
Judy also said that she had employees that would not want to work at night because of the eerie feelings.
She would tell them, �I don�t care what you saw, they are not gonna hurt you.�
When Judy worked at night, she said, �I would talk to them. They were just there. As long as you talk to them and be nice, they didn�t bother you. It is like dealing with a dog, you don�t show you are scared.�
Jessica from SEPIA said that people have reported seeing a figure dancing to swing music. The investigative team saw a black silhouette of a man walking toward the wall. The team went after it but could not find it.
�The history and emotion of the building that has come from people going in and out of building, it has a really unique feel to it, a comforting feel, there is a lot of energy there,� Jessica said.
It is a very rare occurrence but the team would like to catch one of the figures on camera during the investigation on Oct. 31, Jessica said.
Participants can bring cameras and recorders, Jessica said, but must be respectful of building and occupants.
�These are people that have passed and deserve the respect as anyone else,� Jessica said.
Happy and safe Halloween. Thank you for coming.

If you're an American and you're not having fun, it just might be your own fault. Our long national expedition is entering its 238th year, and from the start, it was clear that this would be a bracing place to live. There would be plenty of food, plenty of land, plenty of minerals in the mountains and timber in the wilderness. You might have to work hard, but you'd have a grand time doing it.
That promise, for the most part, has been kept. There would be land rushes and gold rushes and wagon trains and riverboats and cities built hard against cities until there was no place to build but up, so we went in that direction too. We created outrageous things just because we could — the Hoover Dam, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Empire State Building, which started to rise the year after the stock market crashed, because what better way to respond to a global economic crisis than to build the world's tallest skyscraper? We got to the moon 40 years later and, true to our hot-rodding spirit, soon contrived to get a car up there as well. The tire tracks left on the lunar surface (tracks that are still there) are the real American graffiti.
(MORE: See Instagram images of joy from around the world and take our happiness poll here.)
All human beings may come equipped with the pursuit-of-happiness impulse — the urge to find lusher land just over the hill, fatter buffalo in the next valley — but it's Americans who have codified the idea, written it into the Declaration of Independence and made it a central mandate of the national character. American happiness would never be about savor-the-moment contentment. That way lay the reflective café culture of the Old World — fine for Europe, not for Jamestown. Our happiness would be bred, instead, of an almost adolescent restlessness, an itch to do the Next Big Thing. The terms of the deal the founders offered are not easy: there's no guarantee that we'll actually achieve happiness, but we can go after it in almost any way we choose. All by itself, that freedom ought to bring us joy, but the more cramped, distracted, maddeningly kinetic nature of the modern world has made it harder than ever. Somehow there must be a way to thread that needle, to reconcile the contradictions between our pioneer impulses and our contemporary selves.
(READ: Jon Meacham on what Thomas Jefferson meant by the pursuit of happiness)
Those impulses are very deeply rooted: pilgrims to the New World were a self-selected group. Not every person suffering under the whip of tyranny or the crush of poverty had the temperamental wherewithal to pick up, pack up and travel to the other side of the globe and start over. Those who did were looking for something — pursuing something — and happiness is as good a way of defining that goal as any. Once that migrant population started raising babies on a new continent, the odds were that the same questing spirit would be bred into or at least taught to the new generations as well.
And it has been. It took us 100 years to settle the continent and less than 200 to become the world's dominant power. We snatched and grabbed and extracted, yes, but we gave back too. Happy people don't just accumulate fortune; they invent things — the lightbulb, the telegraph, the movie camera, the airplane, the mass-produced automobile, the polio vaccine, the personal computer, social media, the iPhone. And happy people are also generous people, rebuilding other nations (hello, Marshall Plan) and donating to charities; the U.S. still ranks No. 1 among all nations in per capita charitable giving.
But what happens to a breed of people hardwired by genes or culture or both to build, build, build when most of the building is done? What happens when the sprinting dog actually catches the car? That first moon landing — Apollo 11 — was a very big deal, something we had pursued like nothing else. But Apollo 12? Sort of a letdown.
It's not as if we don't have the financial means to keep ourselves stimulated. We spent $118 billion on travel abroad in 2012; we spend close to $25 billion per year to attend sporting events and, combined with Canada, nearly $11 billion on movie tickets. We buy ourselves an annual $140 billion worth of recreational equipment and $200 billion of electronics.
(Infographic: The Game of Happiness–find out what makes us happy at each stage of life.)
But that's consumptive happiness, the happiness that comes not from sowing but from reaping, not from building the house but from watching TV in your new living room. That may be the goal of the work, but it's a goal that, once achieved, can leave us feeling bored.
Since 1972, only about one-third of Americans have described themselves as "very happy," according to surveys funded by the National Science Foundation. Just since 2004, the share of Americans who identify themselves as optimists has plummeted from 79% to 50%, according to a new TIME poll. Meanwhile, more than 20% of us will suffer from a mood disorder at some point in our lifetimes and more than 30% from an anxiety disorder. By the time we're 18 years old, 11% of us have been diagnosed with depression.

'Logo' written by Michael Evamy, is a logo design book that definitely should be on your bookshelf.
This 352 page book is jam packed with high quality logo designs for your inspiration… each logo featured also includes a short description on the same page highlighting such things as when & who designed the logo which is great if you want to find out more information on the designer or just to see how long the logo has been around.
Below you can read the official product description of 'Logo'.
Product Description:
The logo bible, this book provides graphic designers with an indispensable reference source for contemporary logo design. More than 1300 logos are grouped according to their focal form, symbol, and graphic associations into 75 categories such as crosses, stars, crowns, animals, people, handwritten, illustrative type, etc. To emphasize the visual form of the logos, they are shown predominantly in black and white.
By sorting a vast, international array of current logotypes ranging from those of small, design-led businesses to global brands the book offers design consultancies a ready resource to draw on in the research phase of identity projects. Logos are also indexed alphabetically by name of company/designer and by industrial sector, making it easy to piece together a picture of the state of the identity art in any client's marketplace.
As mentioned in the product description, 'Logo' features most of the logos in black and white which I think is a great design decision… it allows you to focus on the form and concept of the logo rather than the colour which distracts & conflicts with the other designs on the page. I think this fact is what makes the book stand out from all of the other logo design inspiration books out there.
However, there are also some colour pages which feature many logos on one page as you can see in the picture above. On these pages it also provides a short description and explanation of the category that is about to be viewed.
The book cover jacket also doubles as a fold out poster which features all of the logos in the book which is pretty handy for some quick visual logo inspiration.
Overall, this book is a timeless and an extremely inspirational reference for anyone involved in logo design. I highly recommend it. It goes for about USD$26 on Amazon.
This book was also 1 of the 12 books I recently recommended over on my other blog, Just Creative Design.

Silverthorne received its name from Judge Marshal Silverthorn, who staked his gold mining claim in the valley in 1881. The "e" was added to the name in the 1930's because it was considered fashionable and chic. Over 100 years later Silverthorne continues to be "the gateway to Summit County." Officially incorporated in the 1960's, Silverthorne has grown up with the Summit County tourist industry. Silverthorne's proximity to both summer and winter activities, where all four of Summit County's world-class ski resorts within 20 minutes, make the town an ideal place to visit and live. Silverthorne's 62,000 square foot recreation center offers plenty of indoor recreation for both residents and visitors alike. Silverthorne is best known for its shopping, which should not be missed. The Silverthorne Factory Stores, with over 70 brand name shops are widely known for exceptional value, quality, and variety.

Traffic patterns at the intersection of West University Avenue and 21st Terrace can be confusing and hazardous, wrote Lily Hummer, who recently moved near the University of Florida campus and uses the intersection. "It allows people to turn left heading east at the same time people turning right onto University from Second Avenue. There is always confusion about who has the right of way. The cars turning right continue to turn at the same time the cars turn left. There… Read More »

To be valid, an interest must vest, if atall, within a life in being plus 21 years.
"Outing" of closeted gays and lesbians is not a new phenomenon. It occurred during the McCarthy era and before, often with an intent to harm the closeted homosexual with the threat of public disclosure of homosexuality.To extend a bit here and offer a hypo for you all: A married man is placed under surveillance by the FBI. During the 4+ years they're following him they found out that he engaged in 7 separate occasions in homosexual sex with other men in a couple of open public areas that gay men frequent. Three out of the seven instances were oral sex, two of them intercourse (being the active partner), and one time he just kissed the other guy and cuddled him a little bit. After a certain time period, the FBI decides to make the target aware of being under their surveillance (active surveillance), and also deepens its infiltration, such that his wife too is part of the game. The man is clearly in the situation of being defamed, given the fact that he's not a public figure, he doesn't consider him to be "homosexual," (truth-be-told, a lot of straight men may have 1-2 gay encounters a year with other men), and the First Amendment defense doesn't even apply in this case.Because people tend to believe what the government say, he's clearly injured, with his wife divorcing him after a while (albeit, she never confronted him directly about the matter, not being allowed to even acknowledge to him she was approached by the agency). I think this would be a curious hypo, in that although statements were never printed or even publicly acknowledged, just like in the case of Cruise's "South Park," they're just as defamatory and injurious. Feel free to share. Please do.
