Devizes student working with big cats
8:10am Tuesday 27th November 2012 in News By Lewis Cowen
Devizes couple Steve and Catherine Drage were not comfortable when their 17-year-old daughter Gabriela decided she was going to South Africa to work on a lion reserve.
But when she rang up and said: "Hello, Mum, I'm sitting here with 13 lion cubs around me", they very nearly told her to come home.
But for Gabriela it was the trip of a lifetime and the chance to head off to an exotic destination to do something remarkable.
Mrs Drage said: "With most of these working trips abroad you have to be at least 18 but Gabriela went online and found a company that took people younger than that.
"She chose to go to this reserve that specialises in bringing up white lions but they have all kinds of other animals there, including tigers, giraffes and elephants.
"She worked at Morrisons to raise enough money for the trip and paid for it all herself."
Gabriela had a long working day, starting at 7am and sometimes working until 6pm, though it hardly seemed like work when she was getting up close and personal with animals she would only have seen at the zoo or on TV.
Gabriela, who is currently studying for A-levels at St Augustine's RC College in Trowbridge, intends to go to university to read ecology and sustainable development.

---- — TRAVERSE CITY — A Traverse City-based fishing team tested its prowess against the best anglers in the world last weekend.
The Wet Dream Fishing Team didn't disappoint either, finishing fifth out of 68 teams in the Offshore World Championships in Costa Rica. Some 31 countries were represented.
The team — comprised of Sam Worden, Kevin Clark and Sherry White, as well as Philadelphia residents Michelle Di Matta and Mike Slocum — hauled in 20 fish over the four-day tournament, exceeding the number they caught when they won the same tournament in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico two years ago and coming within one catch from finishing third.
"It's the Olympics of sport fishing," said Clark, who returned to Traverse City on Wednesday after two weeks in Costa Rica. "It's the most prestigious tournament in the world and it was the largest field they've ever had."
Worden was the most prolific fisherman, catching 10 of the team's fish to end as the No. 4 angler overall out of 324. For two days of the tournament, Worden was No. 1.
Each day teams drew a number and were assigned a different charter boat and captain before they went out on the water. The idea was to level the playing field and avoid giving any sort of advantage to any specific team. From there, teams were out on the water from 6 a.m. until 5 p.m. for extremely long days of trolling bait.
The Traverse City-based team battled the ups and downs of the four days to claim a top-five finish. In 19th place after the first day of competition, Wet Dream climbed into eighth after catching six fish the second day, then used a great start to the third day to move into first for a period of time. It took a 12-fish haul in the afternoon by the team from Papua New Guinea to push Wet Dream into second heading into the final day.
A slow start on the last day dropped them into 12th place — they went several hours without landing a fish — but with less than a half-hour left to fish they managed to catch three fish within five minutes to earn the fifth-place spot.
"It went from being a hard day to everyone jumping around and high-fiving," Worden said of the late flurry of catches. "It's humbling because it's easy to get discouraged."
A team from the Bahamas won the tournament, using a 16-fish haul on the last day to surge into the lead. Papua New Guinea ended up placing second.
Among the fish the TC team caught were a 200-pound blue marlin by Clark and a 36-pound wahoo by Worden. Both of those fish were pulled in on the team's big third day and contributed mightily to their time at the top of the standings.
"It's a different kind of fishing," said Clark. "We had a lot of misses. We probably missed 25 fish. There's an acute timing thing that takes getting used to."
The tournament had been held in Mexico for several years, but was switched to Costa Rica this year, a move that presented a challenge because of the unfamiliarity of the area. It proved to be a positive experience, even though teams had only one day to practice before the tournament started.
"Costa Rica was evenly matched," said Clark. "Mexico I can't say the same thing. There the captains did not want to work for you. There was a little less ethical sportsmanship on the part of the Mexican captains. In Costa Rica all the boats were sharing information. All they wanted was for everyone to catch fish. It was just a conversion of opportunities."
Already Clark and crew are looking ahead to next year's competition, where they are hoping to better this year's showing and get back to the top of the standings.
"It was respectable," Clark said of the fifth-place finish. "It was a lot of fun and we can't wait to be back next year."
Though he just returned from the trip, Worden wouldn't hesitate to turn around and get right back to Costa Rica.
"It was the best trip of my lifetime because it was all able to come together," he said. "It was an epic battle for all of us being in a new place and the style of fishing was nothing we'd done before. We were all going into a third-world country and the fishing was unbelievable."

Editor's Note: The Courier asked cancer survivors and/or family members to share their stories during October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
A few people have written to tell of their experiences.
We thank all the people who participated. As many of you said, you want others to know about the experience and to always have hope.
Their stories will run often this month.
Sept. 23, 2005 was the worst day of my life. I had been to the doctors and results were back — it's breast cancer. That same day I scheduled surgery for the following Friday. I wanted to get this over with.
Sept. 30, 2005, was surgery day. I couldn't think about what I was losing — just that this was the start of my fight for life. A couple of weeks to heal then back in for one-day surgery to install my infuse port. Then came chemo.
Like a lot of people I had heard of chemo but never thought much about it. Over the next few months I learned all I could and more than I wanted. In January of 2006, I developed pneumonia and spent a week in the hospital. Then back for more chemo. Glad to have the chemo over. I have to say it was not as bad as I had feared; it was much worse in my imagination.
Now it's seven years later and I am still cancer free and I thank God every day.

Good sense makes a man slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense. (Proverbs 19:11)
Taylor and I have been watching the World Cup together, but I missed the final match between France and Italy. The next day Taylor gave me an ahem blow-by-blow and I asked him to write up a post for the blog. Here 'tis:
Although many of you probably did not even know that it was going on, the World Cup in Germany this year has been filled with many surprises. The drama included everything from first-time participant Ghana defeating power-house Czech Republic 2-0, to Trinidad and Tobago's coach quitting the night before their first game, then returning the following day.
On July 9th, the final game was fought between France and Italy. The French team's captain was superstar Zinedine Zidane, well known for his ball-handling skills and leadership. He is easily the best French soccer player ever and had led France to the 1998 World Cup title.
Although he's nearly thirty-five now, and announced before this World Cup that he would retire as soon as it ended, he's still an amazing player. After scoring on a penalty kick by audaciously chipping it into the top netting just seven minutes into the game, it looked like all was going well for Zidane and his French mates.
However, just 10 minutes later Italy struck with a header that evened the score at 1-1. After 80 more minutes of play the game was still tied, resulting in two fifteen minute overtime periods (not sudden death). In the second overtime Zidane's career would come to an astonishing end.
After exchanging some words with an Italian player, he turned around and viciously head-butted him in the chest resulting in Zidane receiving a red card and being ejected. This meant his team had to play a man down and Zidane himself had to leave the field for the locker room.
This football great ended his career in front of over a billion people in a shameful way and was unable even to come out after the game to receive his second place medal. As proof of his new legacy, his Wikipedia entry already includes a video and pictures of this incident.
He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, And he who rules his spirit, than he who captures a city. (Proverbs 16:32)
Dear Taylor:
I didn't get to read a detailed report of Zidane's comments about the head-butt. It was something about the Italian guy insulting his family. What exactly did ZZ say?
Dear Taylor:
Excellent job. Having now also heard your oral description of this event, I can say with confidence that your post maintains accuracy, brevity, and clarity. I was once a copy editor for the sports section of a (school) newspaper, so I can testify how difficult it often is to find interesting and elegant sports writing. Keep it up.
In a French talk show, Zidane said that the Italian had said something about his wife and sister. He also said that he does not regret what he did but is very sorry to all of the children that saw it. He said that he would have rather the Italian punch him in the face than say what he said. The interview is somewhere on youtube.com, but I'm not sure where.

Feng Shui experts advise people to clean or reorganize their home one room at a time, thoroughly, to create oases of calm, rather than performing a slap-dash job on the whole house, and creating a discordant environment.
This is good advice: Conquer the chaos instead of leaving a residue of disarray at every turn. And we think this concept works well for adopting green living standards. Take it a room at a time and you'll be able to carefully select the products that fit your needs and make the changes that are workable.
Let's start with the closets.

Of all the medical alert systems we reviewed, Medical Guardian stands out as an example of technological sophistication. Its new line of consoles and pendants are arguably the most advanced of any of the devices on our side-by-side comparison. Couple that with the excellently trained medical-alert monitoring center staff, and Medical Guardian earns our TopTenREVIEWS Silver Award for the best medical alert systems.
The concept behind all medical alert services is easy to grasp. You have a piece of jewelry, usually worn around the neck or on the wrist, with a button that you push in an emergency. When pressed, your base station connects you with a medical alert-center representative who determines the nature of the emergency and notifies the proper first responders. Almost every medical alert system utilizes this method, and Medical Guardian is no different.
What makes Medical Guardian stand apart from its competition is the great care the company takes in both how it handles calls and the people it employs to take those calls. All staff members who work in Medical Guardian's medical-alert monitoring centers are 911 certified. This means they are qualified to handle emergency medical calls and to call for an ambulance. They also have the ability to interact with local fire and police departments in cases in which the emergency button was pushed in reaction to a home invasion or fire.
Another great thing about Medical Guardian is that its staff has access to the personal medical information you provide the company when you initiate the service. This information can be invaluable in certain emergencies if you or a loved one is incapacitated or unable to speak. The company also has a list of your preferred doctors and hospitals, as well as a contact list of family and trusted friends so that everyone who needs to be contacted in an emergency will be in the loop as soon as possible.
Medical Guardian is missing a couple of things we look for in the best medical alert systems – namely, CO2 and smoke monitoring. The company's new line of consoles has the ability to work with wireless smoke and carbon-monoxide alarms (namely the DX-73 and DX-80.) Medical Guardian does not currently offer monitoring services for these dangers. However, the console has the ability to detect extreme temperatures; in the case of a fire, the emergency button will contact dispatchers as needed.
Medical Guardian, like almost all other medical alert services, purchases its consoles, pendants and other equipment from third-party manufacturers. There is nothing wrong with this, but it can sometimes lead lesser service providers to purchase cheap, antiquated or simply inferior devices. Indeed, most of the services we reviewed purchase their equipment from a single manufacturer. Although the equipment is functional, it is in desperate need of a redesign and update to keep pace with today's technological standards.
To combat this problem, Medical Guardian has turned to a new line of equipment. Its flagship console is now the Linear 4200, which is a titanic improvement over previous equipment offerings. Whereas the old equipment had all the charm and class of a stack of phonebooks, the Linear 4200 base console is modern, sleek and handsome. And it takes much less real estate near your phone line.
Looks aside, the base console has badly needed connectivity ports for cellular phones. Since many people have ditched landlines in favor of cell phones, Medical Guardian and other medical alert systems simply could not service a growing percentage of the population. We applaud Medical Guardian for bridging this technological gulf. It truly makes this service part of the 21st century and not just a remnant from the last millennium.
One of the most important benchmarks we look at when we rate and rank the best medical alert system is the range of the base console. We tested the range of the Linear 4200 and found that the emergency button works up to 500 feet away from the console before you're out of range. This effectively gives Medical Guardian's base station a range that is 1,000 feet in diameter. To put that in a real-world context, you can be almost two city blocks away from your home and still use your pendant to notify emergency responders that you need immediate assistance.
If there is one thing most people despise, it's being ensnared in a long-term contract for a service they don't want. We were pleased to find that Medical Guardian does not require you to sign a long-term contract. Additionally, the company offers free equipment delivery and charges no activation or cancelation fees. In short, Medical Guardian scored perfectly in this ranking criterion, which is one of the reasons it placed so highly on our side-by-side comparison.
This is another criterion for which Medical Guardian has a flawless score. The company's support array gives customers access to Medical Guardian staff via telephone and email. However, probably the best and most efficient way to receive technical and customer support is with the live chat service on the company's website. Additionally, it provides a FAQ section and an informative blog on the website, so you can get quick answers to simple questions.
There isn't much to criticize about Medical Guardian. The company has upgraded its equipment to a fantastic line of modern consoles and pendants. The support staff has always been fantastically trained and continues to be. Both those aspects are critically important and add up to something more than the sum of their parts. Peace of mind and access to lifesaving services in an emergency have value that simply can't be measured – and Medical Guardian provides both in spades.
The new Linear 4200 base console has a 1,000-foot range.
Medical Guardian does not currently offer smoke or carbon-monoxide-detection monitoring.
In an industry that is slow to innovate, Medical Guardian has taken great strides to provide a modern, reliable system that is discreet and stylish, and brings help when it's needed most.

Transferring credits to NMC to get easier
The process of transferring credits from some of the state's four-year universities back to Northwestern Michigan College is about to get much easier.
NMC was supposed to sign formal agreements with seven state universities today for what's called a "reverse transfer," but the ceremony was postponed due to an expected snowstorm, said NMC spokesman Andy Dolan.
Student requests for reverse transfers are increasingly common, and the new agreement will make the process much easier, Dolan said.
"Say you're a student at NMC and have been there for a while, and you transfer to Central Michigan before you finish your associate's degree or a certificate," Dolan said. "This agreement means that Central will transfer the credits back to us, and we grant you your associate's degree. That's why it's a reverse transfer."
The ceremony has yet to be rescheduled, but is expected to include officials from seven universities, including CMU, Davenport University, Ferris State University, Grand Valley State University, Michigan State University, Western Michigan University, and Northern Michigan University.

Edmond Memorial High School juniors Brock Trotter, Ryan Nielsen and Kristine Johnson are losing and gaining thousands of dollars each day as they play the Stock Market.
The digital world of the teenager has taken a turn where the road actually leads to learning how to buy and sell stocks much like their parents do. When the students lose $50,000, no worries, they pick up their iPhone and make it back. The difference is the students' money is virtual.
Ryan said he started playing Stock Market Millionaire but when his friends started playing Stock Wars he switched over to the game also.
"My friend Alex Shook, a senior, got me started on Stock Wars and since most of my friends were playing I started playing it also," he said.
He turned Brock on to the game and then Kristi started playing at the same time.
"I want to major in economics and finance," Brock said, and I think playing Stock Wars is good practice for my future career."
Ryan said he started playing because the concept was intriguing to him.
"It is like playing the real stock market without the risks," Ryan said. "I get to see my mistakes, learn from them and then go out and invest in the real stock market later in life and hopefully be more knowledgeable about how to do it."
Kristine said her father has always been her role model when talking about saving and making money.
"My dad has always taught me about investments," Kristine said. "I'm invested in gold right now, so it is fun to take the risks without the fall back. My investment is up $500 right now. I just made some investments in PetSmart and Amazon."
Ryan said he was down $4,000.
"I spent a lot of money in Smith & Wesson," Ryan said. "I think the last shooting in Texas wasn't publicized as much as the first one. I jumped the gun thinking it was worse that what it was. I was just following the pattern of the last shooting and there wasn't an upswing in gun sales like I had predicted."
Brock said stocks go up and down and the Stock Market application gives background articles to read as well as graphs to follow.
"Yesterday Jos. A. Bank's stock went down 19.5 percent," Brock said. "I had read an article where the company president said there would be a 20 percent loss. So I bought $100,000 worth of stock while it was down drastically, what is called a Bear market. Now it is up 4 percent and I have made $4,000."
Kristine said she also invested in Jos. A. Bank, but she only invested $20,000.
"I am not quite as big of a risk taker as Brock," Kristine said.
Ryan said that he invested in Apple and although it sunk into a Bear market later that week he made a little more than $3,000.
"The app is a great training program," Ryan said.
THE Stock Wars app is free. Go to the App Store and type in Stock Wars to download the game.

FULTON, Ill. —
Defense ruled the night Friday at Fulton High School. Sterling Newman and Fulton combined for seven points in the first half, but in the end, the Comets offense picked it up in the second half during its 28-0 win against Fulton.
"Our defense really played lights out for the first two-and-a-half quarters especially," Fulton coach Patrick Lower said. "If you can hold Newman to seven points in one half, you're doing something right out there, and we were causing some turnovers and the pads were popping out there."
Coming into tonight's game, the Steamers were the second highest scoring team in the Big Rivers Conference with 76 points in their first three games.
However, coming into Friday's game, the Steamers' defense had given up the most points in the conference at 87.
"We are improving, I feel really confident about these last five games coming up, I know the kids are going to come back ready to get after it Monday." Lower said.
After forcing the Steamers to go four and out on the first possession, Newman's offense marched down the field more than 70 yards and scored on Nick Rude's 15-yard run.
"The way that defense was set up those two guys (Cody Johnson and Austin Regenwether) should be making those tackles they shouldn't be getting blocked, and they did a nice job," Lower said.
The second half started out quickly with Newman coming out on their first possession scoring again extending their lead to 14-0. Jake Snow broke out for the longest score of the game for Newman running the ball 42 yards for the touchdown.
The first possession of the quarter proved advantageous for the Comets. They scored on the first possession in the first, third and fourth quarters.
"For the most part they (Newman) had to earn everything they got out there and I know they were frustrated only having seven points at halftime, but I think that's a credit to our kids and our defensive game plan and the way we executed it," Lower said.
The Steamers (1-3) will host Hall/Spring Valley at 7:30 p.m. Friday on homecoming.

90 - 9 - 1 Rule - Participation Inequality from Jakob NielsenSubmitted by admin on Wed, 05/21/2008 - 17:07
Usability and Design Expert Jakob Nielsen states that in large online communities 90% of the users are lurkers who never contribute, 9% of the users contribute a little, and 1% of users account for almost all the actions. I sincerely hope that The E-Learning Council users will participate and break the mold. Some suggestions on increasing the amount of participation are:
- Make it easier to participate: We have forums, online pools, and allow users to create blogs. Use the Contact Us form if you are interested in having your own blog on this site.
- Make participation a side effect: E-Learning Council does track the stories that most readers click on and promotes them automatically. Users can also rate each story (including this one), book, etc on a 5 star rating system
- Edit, don't create: After we get the primary E-learning Council site is up and going, we are going to work on setting up a E-Learning Wiki using PBWiki or MediaWiki that will let users edit existing content.
- Reward participants: As The E-Learning Council grows we hope that active participants are recognized and rewarded for their contributions
- Promote quality contributors: I am going to use this blog and the front page to highlight the best information on the site.
If you have additional ideas on improving participation please let me know.

Not a lot of people own CAT (California Audio Technology) speakers, and a lot of the people who own them, never even see them. The first reason is because CAT systems are all custom designed for the specific room/location they've being installed in, which makes them way fracken expensive. The second reason is that in most cases, CAT speakers are built-in—not like run-of-the-mill in-wall speakers—but built into the wall. A more accurate way to think about it is that the wall is built around them.
At last month's CEDIA EXPO the company showed off an MBX system costing $110,000… each. What could a $110K speaker be made of? Are the tweeters formed from the skin of a rare albino anaconda and the woofers infused with moon rock?
The system as shown consists of ("armed with" as CAT's Brian Barr says) three 22-inch MBX aluminum subwoofers, two 12-inch MBX aluminum subwoofers, two 8.5-inch MBX aluminum bass drivers, two 5.5-inch CAT MBX aluminum midrange drivers, and one 1-inch MBX silk dome neodymium magnet tweeter. Sadly, no snakeskin or moon rock, but all impressive stuff.
What do they sound like? I'm ashamed to say that I didn't listen to them at that event, but I've sat in on other CAT demos, and the sound is really a physical experience. The bass could sink battleships and the highs cause giddy sensations where you shouldn't have giddy sensations publicly.
Below is another image of two 12-foot high CAT speakers from the exotic car showroom of Ceasar's Palace Las Vegas.

Timberlake, in the middle of a multimillion-dollar media blitz to support his new record, "The 20/20 Experience," landed in Austin on Saturday night to perform for an overflowing crowd new and old music in a sweaty little warehouse space. Replete with a full band -- horns, background singers, percussionists included -- he did so like a pro, hitting all his cues, pumping up a crowd drunk on free vodka and singing his sexy jams.

There may be bigger news fish to fry but when what's hot and battered is a Twinkie or a funnel cake, we must start this week's column with a tribute to the one, the only, , which continues through Saturday, Aug. 18.
Where else can you celebrate the fact that a third of the land in Montgomery County is designated for farming by participating in a
In addition to fried food, there are carnival rides, live music, monster trucks, a children's theater and, of course, live animals, including racing pigs. More than 200,000 people are expected to pay the $10 entrance fee to attend.

The number of farms in Montgomery County is down about 17 percent but new farmers are needed because the number of small farms has grown by 13 percent, according to recent data, with an emphasis on "table food" -- the sort of going-local produce you'd find at a farmer's market or CSA.

The hearing went on for four hours while residents showed photos of their suffering and told touching and harrowing tales of surviving record heat. C. Ellis of Potomac even read a poem he penned: "Montgomery County is a nice place to be/Unless you like electricity," adding, "My wife grew up in the former Soviet Union. They had communism, but they had power."
The storm left 483,639 Pepco customers without power, with thousands of homes out in Montgomery and Prince George's counties for up to a week.
Rocky Gets Knocked Out
It's hard to identify an underdog in this clash of the suburban titans, in a boundary dispute with Gaithersburg, which on Shady Grove Road.
Gaithersburg's vote to annex the site could "wreak serious, unnecessary, and perhaps permanent damage upon the relationship between their city and the City of Rockville," Rockville City Councilman .
But Gaithersburg did it anyway.
"Isn't this how superpowers go to war?" Rockville Councilman Mark Pierzchala asked. But it looks like there is a consensus for detente with the appointment of a task force to look into revising a 1992 memorandum of understanding between the cities.

"Issuing this proclamation will remind the citizens of Gaithersburg the importance of humor in our City and recognize the sense of wonder and laughter that clowns bring to our culture," the document read.

Blogger Shout Out
The Max for Rockville blog points out that Montgomery County is cited in a study by the Pew Research Center as one of the many places in the United States where residential segregation by income has increased in the past three decades. The study shows that Rockville is at the bottom end of the spectrum, which the blog attributes to the shrinking middle class. "What it could mean for Rockville is that in the longterm, the types of city services and public amenities we've enjoyed may erode and disappear as the community's ability to pay for them declines," according to Max.
One for the Mugshot Hall of Fame
Criminals with attitude must really set off the Montgomery County police. Police officials issued a press release in record time Thursday of a scofflaw they dubbed Jane, the cat burglar. Rather than be caught, Jane, they said, turned tail and tried to flee in a patrol car. Then, she clawed herself free and acted haughty once captured. She looked slightly scruffy but defiant in her (accompanying) mug shot.

If you live long enough, you are bound to see everything. I'm struggling to get my itty-bitty mind wrapped around Christmas in South Florida. Yesterday, it was 95 degrees, and it's threatening to be hotter on Christmas Day.
Yet somehow we are in the middle of a harsh Miami winter, or so I am told. The locals broke out their coats around the first of November and have been wearin' 'em ever since.
There are hundreds of trees here, and all of them are palm trees. So with a total lack of anything that remotely resembles a pine tree, the locals do what anyone would do in such a strange situation: they decorate the palms.
Everywhere you look there are palm trees dressed for the holidays. They stand tall and thin and are pretty enough, but something still ain't right. They look like Christmas trees from a starving third world country. They look like anorexic Christmas trees with bad hair. Have you heard of the South Beach Diet? Yeah, it's called paying rent in Miami. Here, you can rent or eat, but you cannot accomplish both, so cut the palm trees a little slack.
Christmas dinner will not be at my Aunt Cindy's house this year. It will include turkey and don't fool yourself the people of Miami can cook a mean turkey, but it will also include red beans and rice, black beans and rice and don't forget Lima beans and rice. I expect dessert will be rice pudding. People here buy rice by the ton. You pull up in your pickup and have it dumped into the bed, like gravel, then go home and shovel it into a bin at home.
Included in the meal there will surely be potatoes; you need both of the main dishes in every meal, rice and potatoes. I am joking here, we had Thanksgiving dinner with some Peruvian friends and everything on the table melted in your mouth.
I have visited thirty-seven countries, and up until this point I thought I'd seen and tried everything a country boy from Georgia could imagine. I have eaten things, most dead, but some I fear were still alive. Some of the things I've eaten cannot be discussed in mixed company or at least I'd rather not discuss them in front of myself. I've spent most of my life trying to repress the memories of what a redneck boy might eat in Korea and what he drank in the first place, to make him eat those things. There are plenty of things one might do in America after catching a snoot full, but let me assure you the things one might do overseas are infinite.
The real truth of it, everything goes good with beer and the more beers there are the better unidentifiable things blend together. This is one of thse universal truths and one I hope most never understand. Sometimes I worry something is still down there swimming around in my stomach looking for the exit. Jonah and the whale in reverse.
Digression is a tool of the southern writer, sorry. I've seen cocks fightin', greased pig chasin' and cockroach racin'. I've seen talkin' dogs, dancin' hogs, and heaven help me, I've seen it rain bullfrogs. I've seen young boys who did a better impression of young girls than many of the young girls I've known.
My job requires me to travel down Ocean Drive in South Beach several times a day, and without the help of beer, I have seen things I'll never forget and things I wish I could forget. This week I finally saw something that no human alive, with the possible exception of Mrs. Claus, that is, should ever see. Walking down the sidewalk in broad daylight was a 400-pound Santa. He was wearing his red fuzzy hat and about three ounces of red fuzzy G-string underwear and nothing else. Does the G stand for Oh My God? From the back, the G-string was invisible, disappearing into a place where the imagination of man will never go without a bunch of beer or moonshine to share the trip.
Simply by walking, his rear end was doing things that defy description. The front was dancing and giving the line, jiggled like a bowl full of jelly, a realism that need never have been imagined in the first place.
No, I never saw Momma kissin' Santa Claus, and I'm glad I didn't; it might have scarred me for life. But I saw Santa in a G-string, and I fear I'll never get over it. Afterward I drank my first beer in thirty years, in self-defense and then I sent Mrs. Claus my prescription for Prozac. She needs it more than I do.

BRIDGEPORT — It's not every day you get the chance to ride in a helicopter, and certainly not for an affordable price.
Leading Edge LLC, a local flight school and charter program, is launching its first ever "Choppers for Charity" program to benefit local charities, including the United Way of Marion County. Flights will go out of the North Central West Virginia Airport in Bridgeport this weekend and later next week.
For an extraordinarily low cost of $10, passengers get the chance to fly over Bridgeport, something that many people dream of doing. Leading Edge doubles these donations, and all proceeds go to either the United Way of Harrison or Marion County, the Mountaineer Food Bank or Northern Appalachian Teen Challenge.
Tiffany Samuels, director of the United Way of Marion County, said that she is thrilled to be involved in this project.
"Our phones have been ringing off the hook," she said.

News Article
I've been pretty harsh towards DmC Devil May Cry since its initial announcement for a number of reasons. Maybe it's the initial impression that the redesigned Dante looks like a douche, or that the title is a little too late-90's edgy for its own good. However, as more and more of the gameplay gets revealed, like in this latest release from this year's Tokyo Games Show, I think my opinion's starting to change.
While this may not be the Dante or the Devil May Cry we all know and love from a story standpoint, which now deals with a physics-defying Limbo, the gameplay looks absurdly fast and fun. I'm still a little wary, but I'm becoming more excited for the imminent release of Dmc Devil May Cry early next year.

The FDA has issued a warning against eating raw alfalfa sprouts, which could be contaminated with salmonella.
Salmonella poisoning has triggered a nationwide recall of alfalfa sprouts. The sprouts, produced by Caldwell Fresh Foods, were sold in at least 18 states.
Twenty-three people, including an infant, in 10 states have reportedly become ill, according to the Maywood, Calif., food maker who issued the voluntary recall on Friday.
The sprouts were sold at stores including Walmart, Trader Joe's and other locations as well as distributed to a variety of restaurants nationwide. The recalled sprouts are labeled and packaged as:
Maurie Thomas, Caldwell's general manager, said that a 4-month-old infant, who'd been fed a blended mixture of spouts and water, was the first to become ill. None of those who became sick died but four were hospitalized. The last known illness was reported on May 2, according to Caldwell.
Consumers who are experiencing illness after consuming our sprouts should seek medical attention. Consumers that have purchased alfalfa sprouts manufactured by Caldwell Fresh Foods are urged to return them to the place of purchase for refund or dispose of them. Consumers with questions may contact Maurie Thomas at 323-589-5008 from 4 a.m. to 4 p.m. PST or 562-858-1201, 24 hours a day.
This story is developing and will be updated.

Swindon cyclists go round and round for Prospect Hospice
10:48am Tuesday 9th October 2012 in News
PEDAL power has helped to raise thousands of pounds for Prospect Hospice.
Four managers from South Marston Distribution Company cycled around the perimeter of their warehouse for 24 hours from Saturday until Sunday.
They covered a total of 570 miles, raising about £2,000 for the Wroughton-based charity.
General manager of South Marston DC Steve Gopal said: "For the last four years the managers have got together and raised money for local charities. This weekend we decided to do a 24 hour cycle run around our warehouse, all the way around the perimeter."
The perimeter is about half a mile in total and they continued the challenge non-stop for the whole 24 hours. Steve took part alongisde health and safety manager Paul Ives, operations manager Paul Starling, ICT manager Gary Stewart.
"Quite a few of our associates have benefited from the Prospect Hospice personally or their friends have. We thought it would be nice just to raise some money for them," said Steve.
"My kids camped through the night there just to cheer us on."

My dad wore many hats while I was growing up; Bar/Restraunt owner - Gas Station owner - Hotel owner Likeness of Mayor and/or Sheriff - Medic - Carpenter, and many many more but with all that he always had going on he always had time to be my dad. I hope that when I am gone that I will be remembered so kindly by so many people as he will always be remembered. His generosity towards others and his love for his family was undeniable and I will strive to be as giving as he was. ...more info

Wichita Police used tear gas on a crowd that wouldn't disperse early Friday morning.
It happened Friday in Old Town, in the 200 block of North Mosley as the area clubs were closing.
Police officers were already in the area, and moved in when a disturbance broke out outside one of the clubs.
When officers were unable to get the crowd around the disturbance to disperse, they deployed one canister of tear gas.
The gas was effective and the crowd broke up. One person complained of irritation from the gas and was checked by EMS, but didn't require hospitalization.
No one else was injured and police made one arrest.

New Lease on Life for Linux Veteran
Slackware is widely regarded as the oldest active Linux distributions. Right on time for Christmas, the distro, which once served as a basis for (open) SUSE, is available in a new version.
Developers see this latest release as an interim step on the way to Version 13.0. This leads to conjecture that the integration of the weighty KDE 4 and renewal of X.org will be neglected.
Instead, says Patrick Volkerding, chief developer, Slackware will concentrate on security, stability, and reverse compatibility. On board the 12.2 version is the 220.127.116.11 kernel, XFCE 4.4.3, and KDE 3.5.10. The ca. 4GB DVD installation image can be downloaded at www.slackware.com. Alternatively, the project can be supported by purchasing a DVD.

PALESTINE — EDITOR'S NOTE: Behind the Pine Curtains is a series of anedotes compiled and edited by Herald-Press Publisher Gary Connor.
Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert.
Congress said, "Someone may steal from it at night." So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job.
Then Congress said, "How does the watchman do his job without instruction?" So they created a planning department and hired two people, one person to write the instructions, and one person to do time studies.
Then Congress said, "How will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?" So they created a Quality Control department and hired two people. One was to do the studies and one was to write the reports.
Then Congress said, "How are these people going to get paid?" So they created two positions: a time keeper and a payroll officer then hired two people.
Then Congress said, "Who will be accountable for all of these people?" So they created an administrative section and hired three people, an Administrative Officer, Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal Secretary.
Then Congress said, "We have had this command in operation for one year and we are $918,000 over budget, we must cut back."
So they laid-off the night watchman.

Heres a look at a few reasons why the Blues could take a step back in 2012-2013:
Last season, the Blues were hit with a slew of mostly non-impact injuries, the most severe of which was the Andy McDonald concussion. It was pretty evident how inept the Blues offense was without the playmaker, and he was only a winger. Imagine if Pietrangelo, Shattenkirk, or Backes was injured for an extended period of time? With the loss of one or multiple point getters or goaltenders, the Blues would be very vulnerable, especially with their lack of scoring on their lower lines.
Lack of Depth on Blue line
Both Alex Pietrangelo and Kevin Shattenkirk are young studs on the blue line, with the potential to be 50 points scorers and standouts on specialty teams. However, behind them are five defensemen who either lack major NHL experience, are veterans at the end of their careers, or are just underachieving journeymen. Granted, Roman Polak and Barrett Jackman are both serviceable d-men, but Polak is definitely not proficient on the offensive end and Jackmans numbers have tailed off the past two seasons. To be sure, the Blues should definitely be in the market for another defenseman before the season starts.
All the rest is right here

Times West Virginian
The Fourth of July fireworks started a day early when it was announced Wednesday morning that West Virginia University and Virginia Tech will renew the battle for the Black Diamond Trophy on Sept. 18, 2021, with the first of a two-game, home-and-home series beginning here.
In addition, WVU athletic director Oliver Luck revealed that as recently as last week he and his Pitt counterpart Steve Pedersen spoke by phone of the possibilities of finding a way to revive the Backyard Brawl series, which was discontinued after the 2011 game.
"The flesh is willing," Luck said. "They have Penn State. They have Notre Dame now in some kind of rotation. It's just a matter of years and dates. Everyone wants to have at least six home games, but the flesh is willing. We just have to figure out which years will work."
The Virginia Tech series, which dates back to 1912, was last played on Oct. 1, 2005, in Morgantown with Virginia Tech winning, 34-17. WVU, however, leads the series 28-22-1.
The series ended when Virginia Tech left the Big East and jumped to the ACC along with Miami and Boston College, which ignited conference realignment across the land.
When the series resumes in 2021, there will be a 16-year hiatus in the border rivalry.
Over the last three-plus decades it has been an intense, hotly contested rivalry with WVU holding a 17-16 edge over the past 33 years.
Perhaps the most memorable moment from the games played in the 2000s came in 2002, when West Virginia students tore down the goalposts in Milan Puskar Stadium after a hard-fought 21-18 victory … in Blacksburg.
That set off a raucous celebration in Morgantown that went all night long.
"There were some great battles, great TV matchups over the years," Luck commented. "This was probably a game that needed a break."
The two athletic directors toyed with creating a neutral-site game out of the rivalry, mentioning that was most likely as recently as this past May, but could not work it out.
"Neutral-site games are becoming more popular," Luck said. "It's almost like a bowl game to start off the season for almost every team. We talked about a neutral site, but we couldn't make the dates work because we both want to have at least six home games."
"With only three non-conference games it gets a lot tougher, especially with the ACC schools which are going through their own gyrations trying to figure out when Notre Dame comes to their place," Luck said.
Luck had been seeking to find a way to renew this rivalry almost since the day he replaced Ed Pastilong as WVU's athletic director.
"One of the first things I did when I got the job was to go down to Blacksburg and have lunch with (Virginia Tech AD) Jim Weaver. We were in the Big East then and had no idea about the Big 12. I said, 'Jim, when you're ready, I'd love to begin a dialogue about getting back on the schedule.' It took them a while to come around."
It was a time of change in college football, of course. WVU jumped to the Big 12 as the Big East crumbled, the ACC expanded again, bringing in Pitt among others, and setting up a deal with Notre Dame similar to the one the Irish had in the Big East.
That made it difficult for WVU and Tech to work out anything on the schedule, but it made too much sense to be ignored.
"My strategy with our non-conference is to keep it as regional as I can, driving distance for Mountaineer fans. There's plenty of good, regional rivals. People may even pine for the days we play Cincinnati again, so maybe we'll get them back."
Former WVU football coach Don Nehlen lauded the return of the series that played every year of his Hall of Fame career at WVU.
"We played them every year that I was here, and it was just a great rivalry. It didn't matter if we were 5-0 or 0-5 and vice versa because the place was filled up all the time. It's a great game for our fans," Nehlen said.
"I always felt we needed to play Virginia Tech. When Virginia Tech left I really felt bad about that," he added.
Virginia Tech was always the biggest game of the year, including even the Pitt game, for the fans from the southern part of the state.
"Every time I go south of Route 60 all I hear from people is, 'Let's get Tech back on the schedule,'" Luck said.
"I was at The Greenbrier yesterday and I stopped on the way back at Ruppert to get some gas and there's a gentleman tanking up with a Virginia Tech hat on and you don't see that in Morgantown, Fairmont or Clarksburg. But you see it down there a lot," he added.

City partners with DOE on LED streetlight test program
The City of Kansas City, Mo., Public Works Department and the United States Department of Energy will begin a two-year program to test the use of light emitting diode (LED) technology for street lighting beginning Monday, Feb. 21. The test will provide data that will be used to determine the viability of transitioning city street lighting to a technology that is estimated to yield energy and maintenance savings in the range of 30 to 50 percent.
The Public Works Department has selected nine locations in a variety of settings to provide a thorough test. Each test location will receive five LED streetlights that will be evaluated to answer questions related to energy use, operational costs, light reflectivity and the public's acceptance of LED light characteristics.
Prior to the installation of LED streetlights, illumination and reflectivity data will be collected from the existing streetlights in the evening and overnight hours. After the installation of LED streetlights and at designated times throughout the test period, data will be collected from the LED streetlights during evening and overnight hours.
Media inquiries about the test program should be directed to Dennis Gagnon, public information officer for the Public Works Department, 816-513-2659.

Green Right Now
In June, Greenpeace released "Slaughtering the Amazon," a three-year investigation into deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon. Greenpeace found that people were taking over protected lands in order to expand their cattle ranches. This was not only illegal, but large quantities of greenhouse gases were being released into the atmosphere as a result of the rapidly depleting forests.
Deforestation accounts for around one fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions, more than all the world's trains, planes and cars combined, and Greenpeace estimates that the cattle industry is responsible for 80 percent of all deforestation.
Now, just four months after the release of "Slaughtering the Amazon," positive steps are being taken by some of the big companies implicated.

I cover environmental and green technology issues from San Francisco.
Electric car sales reached a record in November for the fourth consecutive month as new models like the Ford C-Max Energi plug-in electric hybrid helped juice buyer interest.
According to analyst Aaron Chew of the Maxim Group, dealers sold 7,600 electric cars in November, bringing total sales for 2012 to 47,500 to date. Chew expects the year to end with sales of 56,000 electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.
That of course is but a rounding error for most carmakers. Ford, for instance, sold 177,673 cars in November alone and electric vehicle sales are just .4% of total U.S. automotive sales for the year to date.
And while the slow but steady trend in electric car sales depends in part on various incentives – Nissan Leaf sales jumped after the automaker offered $199 leases and $5,000 price breaks – the introduction of new models has helped boost sales.
Ford sold 1,259 of its C-Max Energi in November just a month after the plug-in electric hybrid was introduced. That came close to the Chevrolet Volt, which recorded sales of 1,519 for the month and was not far behind the Toyota Prius plug-in, which had sales of 1,766 in November, according to Maxim.
Chew also offered some Tesla tidbits, reporting that the Silicon Valley electric carmaker delivered an estimated 1,150 of its Model S sports sedans in November.
"Despite just launching in late June 2012, this would propel TSLA to No. 5 in U.S. EV deliveries in November 2012," Chew wrote.
Just don't claim that these coal powered chariots are more beneficial to the environment.
But they are much cleaner when you consider how much electricity it takes to refine gas. You can drive 20 miles in an electric car with the amount of electricity it takes to make one gallon of gas. And, electricity can come from renewable energy sources. Buy American! (energy)
I think this makes a lot of sense. The electric cars out there right now are good products, and as we've seen the prices start to edge down the sales are going up. I personally think electric cars over time will be the car of the future. In general they are better products, they have less moving parts, require less maintenance, cost less to drive, and are much cleaner(That's because most places aren't 100 percent coal powered, for those that would say, BUT they're powered by coal.) I think if you look at the price continue to drop, and the range get longer the question becomes when will the public start buying in, in a major way?
This is the question of course. The transition will take a decided turn for big numbers somewhere between 2013-2015. It depends a lot on gas, whether the oil companies pull another refinery shut down, or we get that sought after carbon tax. Just today on KCRW's "To the Point" they discussed the carbon tax in a way I've never heard. While still tough to pull off, like gay marriage, it's inevitable.
The society that transitions fastest to renewable electricity for running most of its transportation will succeed, those that wait till the end will suffer. The economics are clear. Oil will only get more expensive, and no matter what they found in N. Dakota, it'll eventually run out. Renewable electricity, on the other hand, will only get cheaper.
I bought a solar PV system in 2002, then I bought my first EV. For the past ten years, I've run my house and car on sunlight with an electric bill of about $100/year. I haven't been to a gas station since 2002 but I've driven 121,000 miles – on sunlight.
The solar system paid for itself after 8 years. For the rest of my life, I get free energy from the sun to run my home and car.
You can do this, too.
There are over ten plugin cars on the market with more coming every few months. SUVs, trucks, commuter cars, and long distance cars like Tesla's Model S, the "best car in the world". As a matter of fact, the Tesla Model S is the best car in history.
We'll all go electric over time, it's just so much better than internal combustion in every way. The sooner you do it, the happier you'll be.
I wonder how many of these electric cars were sold to the Federal, State and Local governments? Also how many were sold to GE? If Tesla sold 1,150 model S in November how many new oders with deposits did they take in in November?
Probably around 10 – 15%. Unfortunately, not a higher percentage, a lot of money could have been saved in those budgets with these plug-ins but competing industry influence is the tail that wags the dog when it comes to actual decision making… Tesla is backed up with about 6 months of orders, they finally scaled up production to 400 per week…
For Tesla, reservations were reported as up 15% last quarter and 30% year-over-year. According to folks reporting their reservation numbers on the TMC forums, that was about 54/day during November. Since then, they have been gaining, thanks to the additional exposure they've received by more cars being in customer hands and receiving multiple car of the year awards.
To the best of my knowledge, none of their sales have been to federal, state or local governments, or to GE. I doubt you'll see any postal workers making their rounds in a Model S.
Electric vehicles are the future. President Obama was right.
Leave the politics out. EVERYBODY and Fools know that electricity is the Future. Ask George Jetson.
Wow, I'm surprised a positive article on EV's is allowed on here… Well done. Here's my One Year Volt Review for those misinformed about the Volt, now that the election is over…
Will it be difficult for the user to charge an EV?
Not at all. Most everyone charges at home and doesn't need public charging. It's nice when you get it, but having 80-100 miles of range each day is more than enough for most folks.
There are lots of fast chargers finally getting installed in CA. We've got several thousand "Level 2″ charge stations (240 volt) that are being added to by the dozens every day. Lots of jobs installing these things. There will be a need for millions of charge stations over the next decades.
Instead of shipping $800 billion each year to the oil companies, we'll be giving about 20% of that to the utilities, and the rest we keep in our pockets. We'll spend this money mostly on local goods and service and generate lots of jobs n the process.
I built an electric car by converting an MG Midget. I use it as my daily commuter vehicle and put 4,000 miles on it last year. I can get over 100 miles on a charge with it. I'm glad to see sale picking up, but I'm still disapointed with the overall acceptance. I think that there must be many people like me who have a small car they commute in. The electric cars make sense when used like this. If I need to go on a longer trip, I use the other vehicle my family normally uses. I really like the idea that if I need to run to the store to buy a small item, it doesn't cost me more in gas than the item costs itself.Converting a car to electric isn't for everyone, but if you'd like to see some details about my car you can visit my site. electricmgmidget.com
Tesla seems to be on schedule to deliver 20K cars next year. Now THAT would make it a 30% market share against 2012 sales.
Thats huge news from Tesla. To ship over 1,100 cars in a month is a huge acheivement both in logistics, manufacturing and marketing. And brings in over $50M.
The market is changing with real cars for real peope that happen to be electric.
