Contested Tales of Life in Ecuador's Indigenous Oil-Rich Oriente Region

In the Chevron Court Case, Ordinary Ecuadorians' Voices Don't Seem to Count
Chevron is reluctant to give ground to the people affected by the dumping of toxic waste. But they're not going to stop fighting for compensation.
18 March 2014 | The Guardian
The Chevron case is something of a parable in two ways: first, it is a lesson about the incandescent response of multinational corporations to any questioning of them; second, it's a reminder how little the voices of campesinos (peasant farmers) and indigenous people in Latin America seem to count in the eyes of the companies that want to make use of their land.

Seeking Justice in Ecuador
5 March 2014 | Huffington Post
It is not my place, nor my expertise, to opine on the legal matters involved. I am nonetheless compelled, principally because of the suffering of humble, dignified people I have witnessed in Ecuador at the hands of an American company, to say that Chevron's legal and public relations tactics in this case constitute a grave injustice.

Chevron Compensates Victims of PA Gas Explosion: With Pizza
After a fatal gas well explosion in Pennsylvania earlier this month, Chevron adds insult to injury by giving local families coupons for pizza and soda.
20 February 2014 | MintPress
The pizza coupons are the company's "token of appreciation" for residents after an explosion on Feb. 11 in the rural community of Bobtown, Penn., sparked a fire that burned for about five days, killed one employee and injured another. More »
BusinessWeek Demonstrates Why It's Better for Your Lawyers to Believe in Your Case
20 February 2014 | EarthRights International
Barrett has done us a service in confirming that, according to Gibson Dunn, Chevron allowed their lawyers to argue against them in another case. So Gibson Dunn may not be unethical, but Chevron might be a little stupid. Barrett also conveniently overlooks the fact that Gibson Dunn is not simply taking different positions in different cases - it's arguing against Chevron's position in another case that, because it is at the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, will be binding on the lower court deciding the Chevron case.

Chevron: "Let Them Eat Pizza!"
19 February 2014 | Eye on the Amazon
In a move that would make Montgomery Burns proud, Chevron "apologized" to the community for the massive explosion of their fracking well in rural Pennsylvania by offering each affected family a coupon for a free pizza. More »
Chevron Claims Political Cartoons Are Extortion
"I'm honored they feel injured by the cartoon," the Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist said.
18 February 2014 | MintPress
Earlier this month, Pulitzer Prize winning political cartoonist Mark Fiore shared on his personal website that Chevron filed court documents saying it was "injured" by a cartoon Fiore had created with Amazon Watch. More »

Por defender la Amazonia, está demandado por un gigante corporativo.
17 February 2014 | VICE
Este caso es parte de una lucha social. Las comunidades de Ecuador están luchando, no solamente contra Chevron, sino contra quinientos años de historia en América Latina. Y eso, realmente, es lo que está en el fondo de este caso. Los conquistadores nunca entregan sus privilegios voluntariamente: hay que luchar. More »

KILLEEN (September 18, 2012)—Killeen police shut down an intersection Tuesday morning after a man called in a bomb threat that targeted a HOP bus.
Traffic along Twin Creek Drive near Roy J. Smith Road was being diverted while police and firefighters inspected a HOP bus.
Police K-9 units were at the scene and all the passengers had been taken off the bus while officers searched the area.
Police said a man called the HOP bus dispatch office just before 7 a.m. and said there was a bomb aboard the Route 2 bus.

This review is from: Thrustmaster GPX LightBack Black Edition - Xbox 360
Pros: - I can finally finish dark souls on PC
- Racing games on PC! cheaper than a wheel
- Triggers have a lot of weight/resistance to them. (thick spring?)
- LED lights have an off switch in the back, if you need it.
- Has some weight to it
- Cord is convertable between USB and Xbox port. ( I only own PC)
Cons: -Needed to follow youtube video to install - it did not sense my device drivers. youtube url: " watch?v=5pVkC6aQojM " if you also need help. Basically like the video says if it doesn't find driver automatically on some PCs, you need to go into device manager and tell it where it is. It's a common problem for PC ported controllers so not taking a star away. Just search xbox controller for PC otherwise.
-Smaller than xbox controller, thought it would be same size. I have monster hands from lifting, Have to curve thumbs to use sticks properly in neutral position or point down
Other Thoughts: Size should maybe be made more apparent on pictures, either way, love the hell out of it so far. Ive been waiting to finish dark souls series on PC for a long time as keyboard its just such a hassle. Ive also missed playing sports games on PC without a controller since I havnt owned a console in years. So far, highly recommendedREAD FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Tt eSPORTS Poseidon Z Illuminated Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - Blue Switches
Pros: *Heavy- I love the weight of this thing, will never slide no matter how hard you type or game with it.
*Sound- Personally I love it, but it could be a con for some.
*Portable- Although its heavy, its super small profile. Easily fits in a backpack, carrying case, or etc. Literally about 50% of the size of the Microsoft Sydewinder.
*Brightness- My entire rig is lit up, my mouse, etc, but this keyboard is by far the brightest. It's 3rd setting for brightness might as well be a lamp in a dark room. Seriously the brightest piece of gaming equipment I have EVER seen. (Fear not, its easily adjusted with Function + F11/F12)
*Good layout - Easily adapted from last keyboards with no problem. I would say my typing speed also improved a good 10-15 wpm.
*Price - One of the cheapest mechanical boards out there, and you really don't see why. The quality is outstanding. The Blue Switches are amazing.
Cons: *Sound - Its loud, people hear it over my stream. (Doesn't bother me)
*So Bright that the light bleeds around keys (Doesn't bother me)
*The northern-back keystands could be longer, as I like a more slanted keyboard when I'm not gaming. No big deal though.
Other Thoughts: Worth every penny of $80.00. You are not missing out on anything by getting this instead of a comparable $120.00 blue-switch mechanical, except the price and probably a bit of size. Up to you if you want to pay more for a bigger keyboard though.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Intel Core i7-4790K Devil's Canyon Quad-Core 4.0 GHz LGA 1150 BX80646I74790K Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4600
Pros: 18 months ago I bought a Visehera 8350 AMD 4.0 Ghz cpu and an AsRock Extreme 9 Mobo for this computer. My goal was to build a computer to handle streaming high level (D1+) League of Legends/SC2. This was (I believe) the best AMD cpu on the market at that time. I could not stream past 720p with the highest settings on either game, as both games are more cpu intensive then graphics wise. Even overclocked to 4.8ghz, the max I could go without raising heat through my water cooler, I could not sustain 1080p with dropping fps to 30 in high processing areas (Teamfights in league, or 200 supply army clashes in sc2).
Since I swapped the Mobo and Cpu from Asrock Extreme 9 and AMD Visehera 4.0ghz piledriver (8x), that isn't even close to an issue. It seriously blows AMD's old flagship out of the water. It isn't even comparable.
I do not even have this overclocked yet, as I just have no need. 1080p SC2/League of Legends with 540p webcam, music, streaming video on second monitor, etc, I can still run both games on high settings with 200-300 fps if I turn v-sync off.
The one time I did overclock, I turned it to 4.3 just to see how it would perform. I received 400 fps in both games, and no discernible temperature increase. Just to test it, I downloaded BF 3 on ultra and streamed, consistent 120+ FPS even streaming. (Although, even on the old setup, BF3 wasn't really a problem, as this game is more GPU intensive then CPU like league or SC2.)
I just have no need to overclock right now as I am not doing 3d modeling or anything that cpu intensive. I'm just using it for gaming purposes atm.
Cons: It is pricey. For just a good mobo combo with this processor + an MSI board (Which i highly suggest, this MSI board is amazing), you can buy a budget pre-built computer. ($500-$600 ish)
Other Thoughts: Worth every penny
Probably will not buy another AMD cpu in my lifetime.

Simple question and regardless of anyone's opinion or which QB you think can make it happen, the next two weeks better prove that answer to be NO!
We're all familiar with the bizarrely consistent pattern of WWL/T going back to week 1, and in most cases the wins were impressive, the losses were atrocious and the effort has been inconsistent. In my opinion our best COMPLETE wins in order have been . . . (I skew a little on degree of difficulty):
1. Green Bay-Week #1
2. Chicago-Week #11
3. Buffalo-Week #5
4. New Orleans-Week #12
5. Arizona-Week #8
6. Detroit-Week #2
7. Seattle-Week #7
8. NY Jets-Week #4
9. Miami-Week #14
The point is that we're kinda all over the place IMO . . . and I still think we played our best game on week 1, which isn't good. The win against Miami was nice, but a little meh. If the team is going to be a legit contender they HAVE to show it against New England . . . doesn't mean this is a must win, but they need to cut the stupid mistakes and play some legit Championship ball.

It's the second year in a row the Hamilton-born,
Melbourne-based star has won the top female award.
The 22-year-old was presented the award by British comedian
Russell Brand.
The award tops a massive year for the star, led by the
popularity of her duet with Australian artist Gotye on
world-wide No 1 hit Somebody That I Used To Know.
At last night's awards Kimbra said the ARIA award was an
amazing way to top off a "whirlwind" year.
"I want to thank all the fans out there that came to see me
play back in those days."
After the awards Kimbra tweeted: "Such a fun & fantastic
night at the #ARIAS2012 tonight x thankyou! So stoked to have
won Best Female Artist 2 years in a row! Wow!"
Early this month Kimbra scored five wins at the Vodafone New
Zealand Music Awards including album of the year and best
female solo artist.
Last month Kimbra told APNZ she was planning to take things a
bit slower next year, but admitted she was looking forward to
a new album.
"The next focus for me is getting into new material. I'm
busting to start new songs and I think more than anything I
want to find that stability again. I just want to find that
stillness where the music comes from.
"I'll be working on [an album] early next year and looking to
put something out as soon as it feels ready."

Deshaun Watson returns to Clemson as a Heisman favorite, so it comes as no surprise that he is the favorite among ACC coaches to repeat as player of the year.
In an anonymous poll of all 14 coaches during their visit to ESPN this week, 10 coaches voted for Watson. Two voted for Florida State running back Dalvin Cook, and two other coaches did not want to make a pick.
"Watson is the difference-maker," one coach said.
On Monday, Watson was tabbed as the preseason ACC Player of the Year in a vote among the media, garnering 164 votes. Cook was second with 18 votes.
The vote for preseason ACC Defensive Player of the Year was not as clear-cut among the coaches, suggesting that race is as wide open as it appears headed into the season. Only seven coaches felt comfortable selecting a player for that very reason.
Five different players earned at least one vote: Louisville linebacker Devonte Fields, Clemson linebacker Ben Boulware, NC State defensive end Bradley Chubb, Clemson defensive tackle Christian Wilkins, and Florida State defensive end DeMarcus Walker.
One coach said of Fields: "We just couldn't block him."
Another coach said of Wilkins: "He's just so athletic for a big man. I'm a huge fan of his."
Another said of Chubb: "I think he's in line to have a huge year."
Fields returns as the top returning player in tackles for loss (22.5), and was the ESPN.com preseason choice as ACC Player of the Year. Louisville coach Bobby Petrino says Fields, who had offseason shoulder surgery, is in the best shape he's been in since he arrived on campus.
When asked what type of year he could have, Petrino said, "He could have a good year. He's a good player. We need to get him some good matchups."

More perspective: Seattle only averages 3.51 inches of rain for the entire month of October. And the 5.02 inches represents almost 14 percent of our annual rainfall average.
What happened? We had a very juicy front stall right over the central Puget Sound area, and it was perfectly angled so that the bulk of the heavy rain streaming in from the southwest just missed getting blocked by the Olympics. It was one for the ages!

Robert Beaser
Beaser was brought up in a non-musical family. His father was a physician and mother was a chemist. He grew up in Newton, Massachusetts where he distinguished himself at a young age as a percussionist, composer and conductor. He made his debut with the Greater Boston Youth Symphony at Jordon Hall when he was 16, conducting the premiere of his own orchestral work, Antigone. He went on to study with Yehudi Wyner and Jacob Druckman at Yale College, graduating summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa in 1976, and later received his Master of Music, M.M.A. and Doctor of Musical Arts degrees from the Yale School of Music. He studied conducting with Otto-Werner Mueller and William Steinberg. Other teachers included Toru Takemitsu, Arnold Franchetti, Goffredo Petrassi and Earle Brown. He studied with Betsy Jolas on a fellowship at Tanglewood. In 1977 he became the youngest composer to win the Rome Prize from the American Academy in Rome. Residence in Rome proved a watershed in his development, and he embraced more tonal language, synthesizing a variety of diverse influences from jazz to folk into his writing.
Beaser has received numerous awards and commissions from orchestras such as the New York Philharmonic the Baltimore Symphony and the Chicago Symphony. He was appointed Professor and Chairman of the Composition Department at the Juilliard School in New York in 1993. In 1999, Beaser was co-commissioned by Glimmerglass Opera, the New York City Opera and WNET-TV to compose The Food of Love, with Terrence McNally as Librettist, which was performed at both venues, aired on PBS, and was nominated for an Emmy Award in 2000.
From 1978-1990 he served as co-Music Director and Conductor (along with Daniel Asia) of the innovative contemporary chamber ensemble Musical Elements at the 92nd Street Y, bringing premieres of over two-hundred works to Manhattan. From 1988-1993 he was the Meet the Composer/Composer-in-Residence with the American Composers Orchestra at Carnegie Hall, and served as the ACO's artistic advisor until January 2001, when he assumed the role of Artistic Director. In 2013 he became the Artistic Director Laureate of the ACO. Beaser founded the Whittaker New Music Readings (currently the Underwood New Music Readings) with the ACO in the early 1990s, providing an opportunity for young composers to receive hearings of their orchestral works. Along with Tania Leon, Beaser spearheaded the Sonidos de Los Americas Festival from 1993–99, bringing composers and works from the Americas to Carnegie Hall. He currently serves as trustee for the American Academy in Rome, the MacDowell Colony, and the American Composers Orchestra. He was elected to the membership in the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 2004.
His works are published by Schott Music.
Beaser was one of the first composers to embrace the "New Tonality."[1] Early works such as The Seven Deadly Sins and Variations for flute and piano show his proclivity for dramatic vocal writing as well as continuous variation technique across a broad canvas. Conductors who have championed his work include Leonard Slatkin, David Zinman, and Dennis Russell Davies and Jose Serebrier. His incorporation of extant folk materials came in the 1980s though his widely performed Mountain Songs nominated for a Grammy award in 1986, and continues to the present decade with works such as Souvenirs for piccolo and piano/clarinet and piano and Evening Prayer—an orchestral tone poem which incorporates and deconstructs a Hungarian folk tune. His orchestral music draws from a wide and diverse palette, and he has made dramatic vocal works using texts from poets such as Anthony Hecht, Eugenio Montale and Gjertrud Schnackenberg in The Heavenly Feast, which creates 'a striking fusion of literary and musical poetic images'.[2] His Four Dickinson Songs written for Meagan Miller and the Marilyn Horne Foundation is acrobatic in its demands for the soprano/piano duo and opens the recent Americans in Rome compendium on Bridge records performed by Hila Plitmann and Donald Berman.[3] Recent works include Guitar Concerto for Eliot Fisk, his classmate at Yale, which mixes Andalucian flamenco with bluegrass picking techniques, and was premiered by the Albany Symphony, with David Alan Miller conducting, and The End Of Knowing, a consortium commission from twenty-seven wind ensembles, for soprano and baritone and wind ensemble on texts by various poets including Seamus Heaney, Joseph Brodsky, Schnackenberg, Theodore Worozbyt and James Joyce.

BAIKONUR, Kazakstan -- The Russian rocket that will carry up the first residents of the international space station emerged from its hangar Sunday and, enveloped by the pre-dawn desert fog, was hauled by rail to its launch pad.
The Soyuz rocket is American astronaut Bill Shepherd's ticket to the new space station. He's scheduled to depart on his four-month mission from Baikonur Cosmodrome on Tuesday, along with Russian cosmonauts Yuri Gidzenko and Sergei Krikalev.
Shepherd and his crew did not come out to watch their rocket's half-hour train ride across the barren steppes of this Central Asian spaceport 1,300 miles southeast of Moscow. Shepherd's wife was there, though, to videotape the event.
''It's hard to believe that we're here,'' said Beth Stringham-Shepherd. ''We've waited soooo long.''
On Tuesday, Shepherd, a 51-year-old Navy captain, will become only the second American to ride a Russian rocket to orbit. Two days later, he is scheduled to arrive at the international space station and become its first commander.
He's been training -- and waiting -- for this moment for almost five years. Russia's delays in building and then launching the space station's living quarters held everything up for more than two years.
''He's like, 'Let's just wrap this up and go,' '' his wife said with a laugh.
By the time the space station is completed in 2006, it should be a first-class laboratory staffed by crews of up to seven. NASA envisions another full decade of operation beyond that.
On Sunday, the green, white and orange rocket, 168 feet from tip to tip, was transported horizontally atop a train car pulled by a diesel engine. Its destination was just 1 1/2 miles away -- the launch pad where the world's first artificial satellite, Sputnik, took off in 1957 and where the world's first spaceman, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, departed in 1961.
Pictures and images of Sputnik and Gagarin are everywhere in this once super-secret, 45-year-old cosmodrome run by Russia: in lobbies, on gates, on road signs, on monuments. Cosmodrome officials are quick to remind visiting Americans of their country's many space feats, including the world's longest-running space station, Russia's beloved but abandoned Mir, launched nearly 15 years ago.
Lt. Gen. Valery Grin, who leads commissions on both space stations, said the new orbiting outpost is ''an investment in the future.'' But, he added: ''I'm sorry we have to put Mir down. Only a miracle could save Mir.''
A few hundred people gathered in the chill to watch Shepherd's Soyuz rocket be hoisted onto the pad. The crowd was diverse: Russian military officers mingling with Russian hardhats, NASA employees and journalists from all over the world.
American astronaut Kenneth Bowersox took in the scene with delight.
''We were starting to wonder there for a while'' whether the space station would ever pick up steam, said Bowersox, Shepherd's backup.

Strawberry is a wonderful fruit, but sometimes we get so wrapped up in its personal flavor, we forget how well it pairs with herbs! In this case, combine strawberry with basil to make a cupcake that will have everyone asking for more. We're using basil sugar here, not pure basil, so no need to worry it will overpower the sweetness you expect in a cupcake. Like many of the recipes we love, one of these cupcakes just might not be enough.

Ron Wright
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the former Major League Baseball player, see Ron Wright (baseball).
For the footballer, see Ron Wright (footballer).
Ronald James John (Ron) Wright (1913 – 14 June 1968) was an Australian cricket test match umpire.
He umpired 13 Test matches between 1948 and 1959. His first match was between Australia and India at Adelaide on 23 January to 28 January 1948, a match won by Australia by an innings, with Don Bradman scoring 201 (following a century in each innings in the previous Test), Lindsay Hassett scoring 198 not out, and Ray Lindwall taking 7 wickets in the second innings. Wright's partner in this match was George Borwick.
His last match was between Australia and England at Melbourne on 13 February to 18 February 1959, where the home team won comfortably. Les Townsend, officiating in his only Test match, was Wright's partner in this match.

Need auto loan.
I'm needing to trade in my car within 6 months. I went from no credit to a score of 633 with 4 months. I currently have a Dell account with $1200 limit, currently using 100%, but will be paid off before applying for the auto loan. Also, $500 capital one card. I've using the capital one card every month and paying off. Should I do anything else or just wait on time?
My local bank has a credit building loan. You can borrow $500-$1500, the funds go into a cd, then you make monthly loan payments for 12-36 months. I've thought about doing the $500 for 12 months, but wondered I have to wonder if it looks like I needed a loan for $500.
Any help is appreciated. I know this is the rebuilding thread, but i'm basically building. I'm 35 and never really needed credit until now. In the past, I was able to pay cash for my car. Thanks.

TX governor slams 'scare tactics'
Enigma1: While I plan to vote 3rd party (go ahead and give me a hard time for that. Most people do), I just wanted to say that A LOT of my friends and family who have previously voted democrat, seem to be for Trump. A few of them like Hillary and Bernie, but the majority want Trump. I don't understand it. Even most of them are shocked themselves! Just saying that it's possible he may win. A lot of people won't admit they're voting for him because they're afraid of the reaction they might get. Apparently not liking him or Hillary has made my friends and family think it's ok to fess up to me. To each their own.

TALLAHASSEE — Gov. Rick Scott on Wednesday will unveil a proposal for an across-the-board teacher pay increase, a spokeswoman for the governor confirmed Tuesday.
Scott is to formally announce his proposal at an event at an Orlando-area school, Scott spokeswoman Jackie Schutz told the News Service of Florida, though she said his office won't disclose details until then.
The Tampa Bay Times reported Tuesday that a survey for the 2010-11 year showed the average salary in Florida was $45,732, which ranked 45th among the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
TALLAHASSEE -- Disgruntled donors who want Gov. Charlie Crist to return contributions made when he was a Republican will have to file their cases individually, a circuit court judge ruled Thursday by rejecting a motion to allow thousands of cases to be joined in a class action lawsuit.
"The plaintiff's request for certification is denied," Collier County Senior Circuit Judge Jack Schoonover informed attorneys in an email. The final order was not yet available Thursday afternoon.
TALLAHASSEE -- Florida shoppers won't pay sales tax on many items from Friday through the weekend thanks to a Legislature hoping to spur the economy, give weary consumers a break and maybe land a few votes.
The three-day event is expected to save taxpayers $26 million by exempting qualified items from the state's 6 percent sales tax on a host of items from pencil and paper to backpacks and shoes.
The holiday will translate into a loss of $21.2 million in state sales tax revenue and $4.8 million for local governments, according to House estimates released earlier this year.
TALLAHASSEE -- A proposed constitutional amendment that would provide additional tax benefits for some homebuyers is misleading and should be taken off the November ballot, an attorney representing labor unions and a property owner contended Thursday before a circuit judge who is expected to rule today.
Amendment 3, approved by lawmakers in 2009, would allow buyers who have not owned a home for eight years the opportunity to receive a homestead exemption on some new property, but only if they purchased it after Jan. 1, 2010.
TALLAHASSEE -- Florida emergency responders are looking into the Caribbean as they prepare for what could be the first storm of the 2010 hurricane season, an arrival that would not only curtail recovery operations but could require them to open up the partially capped oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico.
TALLAHASSEE -- Easing credit markets and more favorable rates will allow Florida officials to borrow more than $15.9 billion and meet all its obligations for the upcoming hurricane season, the state's top hurricane finance managers said Tuesday.
Meeting for an update on the state's financial capacity three weeks before the Atlantic hurricane season starts June 1, the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund advisory council approved estimates that say the state has a total disaster capacity of $25.5 billion, enough to meet its entire 2010 obligation.
TALLAHASSEE -- The number of Florida foreclosures fell in April from a year earlier, mirroring a national trend that indicates a slowing of defaults on mortgages, according to data released Thursday by RealtyTrac.
TALLAHASSEE -- Florida voters will be asked in November to defy federal attempts to require Florida residents to carry health insurance under a proposed constitutional amendment that cleared its last legislative hurdle Thursday.

Here is an excelent way to update an older great bike
By Toothdoc
from Crestwood, Missouri
About Me Avid Cyclist
See all my reviews
Comments about Nashbar N-9 9-Speed Dual Control Shifters:
These brake lever/shifters is a great way to update a good older bike that has downtube shifters. I have upgraded two bikes with downtube shifters with these devices. One bike had friction shifters and the other had indexed shifters. The only other part needed is the downtube mounted cable stop/adjusters. These are not included in the kit, but are available, just google to find. The shifting action is very smooth and accurate, noisier than the friction shifters but the same as the Dura Ace indexed downtube that were replaced. Not intrusive, just a noticeable click when downshifting or upshifting. As with any new cable installation fine tuning is needed until the cable stops stretching. One of the bikes had been used for over a year, 4500 miles and has needed no more adjusting at this point. In all this time of daily use in good weather I am very pleased with the performance of these components.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Not bad for the money
By Dave the bike guy
from Washington Court house, Ohio
This was a replacement STI unit on a 1998 road bike. There was a bit of a learning curve on how the shifters actuated. The physical shape of the unit was a bit different than the stock one. The shifting was great from the start and hit all gears flawlessly. For the price of this product it's not a bad deal at all.

So far so good
By Bull778
from Southern CT
About Me Commuter
I've really enjoyed these shifters for the 300 miles that I've put on them so far. I installed them on my Masi Alare commuter. The installation was very easy. The overall profile is more narrow than my SRAM Rivals or the Sora shifters that they replaced, which makes them nice for smaller hands. If you're able to palm a basketball, then they might seem a little small for you. I'm not a big gear masher (especially before 7 am), so I do a lot of shifting during my normal commute and this set has yet to miss a shift or drop a chain. I agree with previous remarks about being loud when shifting, but I like the mechanical sounds to let me know that things are working. Also, some have commented about the long throw for the left index shifter, but I'd prefer that to having the brake lever pull double duty.

No Replacement Hoods Available
By Jesse
from Dallas, TX
I've owned the Nashbar 9-speed shifters for long enough that I need to replace the brake hoods. Unfortunately, Nashbar doesn't sell any replacements, so I'm going to have to go looking for something else that might work. Be forewarned that replacements are not available!

Good substitute for old Ultegra
By Peetie
from Gaithersburg MD
About Me Casual/ Recreational
Getting back into cycling after a long layoff and needed to replace a 15 year old set of Ultegra shifters. These are a great inexpensive alternative to the Shimano product and seem to work well. I only have one ride in so far with these, but will get a good century ride test this weekend. One concern I have is the amount of plastic in the construction and how they will hold up over time, but I don't want to deem it as "poor construction" because it is solid and works well.
As Good as Ultegra
By Rise and Grind
from Calgary, AB
About Me Competitive Cyclist
Simply put, these shift as well as Ultegra 11. I've put about 600 km on these and they've never missed a shift, even under tension with 105 5500 derailleurs. I actually much prefer the 2-button shifting on these as opposed to the Shimano lever shift. They're not very light, and the non-internally routed shifter cables are somewhat of an eyesore. The length of the hoods is also much longer than my old ones and it screwed up my bike geometry quite a bit.

Cougars are classified as big game in the state of Oregon. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife estimates that there are approximately 5,700 cougars in Oregon. According to their 2006 Cougar Management Plan, ODFW manages for a "minimum desirable" population of 3,000 cats statewide. If the number of cougars drops to 3,000 or less, as determined by surveys, then hunting will cease to occur.
In 1994, Oregon citizens voted to ban the use of hounds to hunt cougars. A law signed on June 27th, 2007 brought back the use of hounds in a limited form. The new law permits the agency to train citizens to act as "agents" on its behalf, and to use their hounds to hunt cougars.
The goal of this new law (in conjunction with Oregon's 2006 Cougar Management Plan) is to target cougars that might attack people or livestock. Scientists say the new law may have the opposite of its intended effect. High levels of hunting pressure may actually lead to more cougars and more complaints about problem animals.
In recent years, Oregon has been selling over 40,000 cougar tags annually. More deer and elk hunters have been targeting cougars because Oregon offers a "sports pack" license, which grants tags for black bear, a general cougar tag, one elk, one deer, upland game bird validation, Oregon waterfowl validation, spring turkey and combined angling harvest tag for $130. So, while hounds may effectively be banned, cougar harvest has has reached record highs in recent years.
As of early 2015, ODFW officials believe there are no less than 6,000 cats in the state, and that the population is rapidly increasing. In response, ODFW raised the statewide hunting quota from 770 to 970. At the beginning of the 2015 legislative session, numerous bills were introduced into the state senate and house to give individual counties the authority to hunt cougars with hounds. If passed into law, these bills would effectively overturn the state law that bans hound hunting.

Cougar hunting is open year-round. The use of hounds to pursue cougars is prohibited.
The 2015 quota was raised to 970 cats due to concerns that the cougar population is growing and conflicts are increasing. From 2006 to 2014, the quota was set at 777, but was never met. In recent years, cougar harvest has dropped off, an indication that the population may actually be in decline.

Integrating Values and Ethics into Wildlife Policy and Management—Lessons from North America• The Cougar Fund
Fox and Bekoff (2011)
Abstract: Few animals provoke as wide a range of emotions as wolves. Some see wolves as icons of a lost wilderness; others see them as intruders. As the battle continues between wolf proponents and opponents, finding solutions that resolve conflicts while supporting the integrity of nature is challenging. In this essay we argue that we need to make room for wolves and other native carnivores who are re-colonizing areas from which they were extirpated. Strategies that foster coexistence are necessary and wildlife agencies must consider all stakeholders and invest adequate resources to inform the public about how to mitigate conflicts between people/domestic animals, and predators. Values and ethics must be woven into wildlife policy and management and we must be willing to ask difficult ethical questions and learn from past mistakes.

|Re: Metamodel generates ListAttribute for arrays instead of SingularAttribute
|Wed, 06 Jul 2011 16:41:25 GMT
I'm not sure what Dali does in this specific case. I think our answer will largely depend on whether Bar is serializable. If Bar is not serializable we will be unable to map field a (I'm not sure about b - seems to just be ignored). If Bar is serializable we'll map the array as a blob. I think it's unlikely that the example you presented would be used very often. It seems more likely that the array (at least) would use the @PersistentCollection annotation, at which point we'd treat it as a ListAttribute. -mike On Wed, Jul 6, 2011 at 9:48 AM, Pinaki Poddar <email@example.com> wrote: > Kevin, > > Always good of you to provide a context for a topic. > > The spec defines 'collection-valued attribute' with lot of words > essentially meaning anything that implements java.util.Collection (or > java.util.Map).

New London – A Coventry man who was arrested Thursday morning for attempting to burglarize a Montauk Avenue home escaped from police custody while at the hospital, led them on a foot chase and attacked the officer who was attempting to arrest him, police said.
The pursuit of the suspect, which snaked its way through the city's south end, ended at about 4 a.m. in the backyard of Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio's home on Ocean Avenue, the mayor said Thursday.
At about 12:36 a.m. police were investigating an attempted burglary at 57 Montauk Ave. When police spoke to a witness, the witness pointed to the suspect, later identified as 22-year-old William Carilli, who was walking away from the scene.
Police stopped Carilli and determined he was attempting to steal from the home. As a result, he was charged with criminal attempt to commit second-degree burglary and third-degree criminal mischief.
Police said Carilli injured himself during the break-in so he was taken to Lawrence + Memorial Hospital for treatment. While handcuffed to a bed at the hospital, police said, Carilli escaped and led police on a foot chase in the south end of the city. Waterford and state police sent officers to assist in the search.
At about 3:50 a.m., a Waterford police officer spotted Carilli. The officer was able to catch Carilli, but police said, Carilli used the officers flashlight, which had come out of his pocket during the struggle, to strike the officer in the head. The Waterford officer was taken to the hospital for treatment of his injuries and released.
Carilli was apprehended a short time later by a state police K-9 in the backyard of Finizio's home on Ocean Avenue. Police said they had to use a Taser because he continued to fight with police and tried to escape.
Finizio said he, his husband and his dog were not involved in the incident and there was no damage to his property.
Carilli was returned to the hospital, where he explained to an officer and the charge nurse that he had broken free of the handcuffs earlier by dislocating his left thumb, according to a police report.
Carilli was additionally charged with assault on a police officer, second-degree assault, resisting arrest, third-degree trespass, breach of peace and escape from custody.
He was arraigned in New London Superior Court, where Judge Kevin P. McMahon set his bond at $49,000, cash only, continued the case to Oct. 1 and ordered a suicide/medical watch and psychological evaluation.

Charles Paris is thrilled - he's landed a nice juicy part playing Sergeant Collins in the TV detective series, "The Stanislaus Braid Mysteries", and his estranged wife Frances seems to be on the brink of taking him back. But filming turns out to be a tortuous process, with pompous star Russell Bentley demanding numerous retakes and irascible author Winifred Railton constantly interrupting. To cap it all, nubile actress Lisa Stokes is crushed to death on set - and Charles finds her body. It seems like a straightforward accident, but Charles can't shake the suspicion that she was murdered. Can he find the killer, stay away from the booze and the women, and win back his wife? Bill Nighy stars as alcoholic actor and amateur sleuth Charles Paris in this full-cast radio dramatisation.

Google 'Heritage Global Partners' Go to their web site (useless yhoo won't let me post a link)
Scroll down the page and on the right hand side you'll see the Affymax Auction listing.
I really don't think OMONTYS is coming back.
Ok, wise guy longs, just make sure you read the following from the auction listing......COMPLETE CAMPUS CLOSURE!
Now go look at at Yahoo's profile for AFFY, look what the corporate address is. THE SAME ADDRESS AS THE AUCTION. They are shutting down. END OF STORY. Liabilities exceed assets. END OF STORY.
You deserve to broke, I DON'T CARE! Ride this thing to zero, but KNOW THAT YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!
I will come back an laugh at you when you don't have any money to pay for your sophomore year tuition.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
Hugeman. Don't be so dire. Listen to Jagan, Seytrader, Doyoulineneruda and their followers. All AFFY needs is an old oriental man with an abacus who will work for Ramen noodles. He will put all of the Takeda royalties into his sack, calculate what is due shareholders and give them large distributions. When the litigants come calling for payment, he will say one word "insurance" and then pretend he cannot understand English. It is the clever plan of the Honorable Orwin-san and the AFFY Board of Directors. The share price should be $20 soon.
So Pfizer is going banko too? They are on this list with a bunch on big companies.
No big deal say AFFY Longs. Didn't Elan auction off all of its medical/lab equipment, computer equipment, office furniture and everything else tangible it owned after Tsybari was recalled? What? Elan didn't do that? On my. Not to worry. Do not rethink your position. Stay till the bitter end which is coming. Wonder how Jagan will interpret this sign. I'll bet either Amgen or Takeda told AFFY to do this.
Wow. AFFY Longs are going to love this. Has got be the most bullish news for them ever. The cash from the auction will keep them going strong until Omontys is back on the market so doctors will stop prescribing Epogen and Aranesp. Fits right in the mind of AFFY Long logic together with skittles, circling rainbows, unicorns and fairy tails. If AFFY were going to seek Chapter 11 reorganization, there would be no need to liquidate assets outside of a Chapter 11 proceeding, right Longs?
Thanks for posting your find huge. REAL information is always good and appreciated for the decision making process.
Global Online Sale
Complete Closure: Global Online Auction on Behalf of Affymax Inc., a Peptide-Based Biopharmaceutical Drug Developer for the Treatment of Life-Threatening Conditions.
Start date: Jun 13, 2013 - 07:00 PDT
End date: Jun 14, 2013 - 10:00 PDT
I won't read much into these. Incidentally Amgen is also auctioning the same day as is Pfizer in few days after. There is no drug in the pipeline for Affymax so to keep these laboratory equipments means no sense if no research is going to happen. If anything its
1) an indication that BK is not an option
2) affy has no plans for any future RnD even if O is back
Sentiment: Hold
AFFYMAX being a SHELL company and in the process of restructuring, this sale is nothing but to get rid of intellectual properties and the office space not needed to generate CASH. Remember they will only be collecting Milestone payments and Royalties once OMONTYS is back in the market.
OMG, did someone sell on this news, Wow!.
They already wound down their operations what they need is a Clerk ($20/30 per hour- on a contractual basis) and 200 Sq.ft office space to keep one PC with Shareholder info and a printer to print Checks!
You don't need anything more than that. AFFY's only product is Omontys and entire operation is trfred to TAKEDA, with a specific Royalty payment on sales for WW sales.
You will have to sell everything besides couple of tables and chairs and 3-4 laptops/printers and PCs if needed.
Nothing else is needed here! Whatever is needed from Affy for OMONTY'S product relaunch TAKEDA might have already taken.
It looks Brenner group already negotiated the lease breakage for their office premises, that should be very positive.
Sentiment: Hold
Is this Really it then? Is it time to get the !@#$!@ out?
Awesome find Huge!
I am going to try to pick up some coffee mug or something with 'Affymax' on it. I need to always keep in mind this textbook biotech company. If they are selling off Orwin-san's appointment calendar, I will definitely make a bid on that.

Scam artists posing as Con Edison workers are preying on the elderly, according to Philip Halliburton, the electric company's public affairs specialist.
Halliburton said so−called workers are going door to door and offering assistance to residents having "problems" with their Con Ed bills.
In some instances, the "workers" request cash payments after viewing the bills, Halliburton said.
"We will never come to your house and ask you for your bill," Halliburton told residents at a recent Community Board 13 meeting.
Weeks after the visits, some residents discovered that they had been switched from Con Ed to a rival electric provider.
Halliburton advises residents to be cautious when people claiming to be Con Ed employees knock on their doors.
"Any person that comes to your household and says they are a Con Ed employee is going to have an ID card," he said.
Residents who want to ensure that they remain with Con Ed should call 1−800−75−CONED, Halliburton said.
This is not the first time that con artists have targeted seniors.
A long−running scam throughout many southern Brooklyn neighborhoods has also involved faux utility workers.
According to the NYPD, criminals often pose as workers from utility companies like Con Edison, KeySpan or the city Water Board and knock on residents' doors.
When the "worker" is inside the house and pretending to check meters or insisting that there's a problem that must be fixed, an accomplice enters the home and ransacks it.
Cops have cautioned that residents should call the utility company whenever a worker shows up without an appointment and also verify that there is actually a problem in need of repair. Do not allow the workers entrance to the house until the person's identity is confirmed, police warn.

This groundbreaking book answers myriad compelling questions for modern day spiritual seekers, as well as those interested in a feminist theology of the Holocaust. What do Edith Stein, a Jewish Carmelite nun and Regina Jonas, the first woman rabbi in Jewish history have in common? Both were German Jewish women who demonstrated "deviant" religious desires as they pursued their spiritual paths to serve their communities during the Holocaust. What did it mean to be a Jewish nun? What did it mean to be a woman rabbi? Both were religious visionaries viewed as iconoclastic in their own times. Why did Stein convert from Judaism to Catholicism and Jonas go deeper into Judaism? How did Stein, the first woman to receive a Ph.D. in philosophy from Husserl, the founder of phenomenology, claim her Jewish identity while she was a cloistered Carmelite nun from 1933 to 1942 in the monasteries of Carmel in Cologne and then Echt? How did Regina Jonas, the first ordained woman rabbi in Jewish history, serve as a woman rabbi from 1936 to 1944, first in Berlin and then in Theresienstadt? How did they view their own hybrid religious identities and how did these claims show their "spiritual resistance," allegiances and leadership during the Holocaust? What does it mean to have "deviant" religious desires? What does it mean to be spiritually true to oneself and to spiritually resist the Holocaust? What is a theology of "spiritual resistance"? For Stein, it meant redemption and the transmutation of suffering on the cross; for Jonas, acts of compassion bring the face of God into our presence, which is a form of liberation. The contemplative and the rabbi provide us with new insights into this world of unimaginable suffering. Stein died in Auschwitz in 1942; Jonas died there in 1944, never having known each other.

THE GROSSE POINTES — Parents of students entering Grosse Pointe middle schools or high schools have one more item to check off their back-to-school list. School officials are reminding them to do it soon.
All students entering sixth or ninth grade must re-verify residency before they will be allowed to register for fall classes, and according to district officials, by the end of June, only about 20 percent of those required to re-verify have done so.
"We're a little concerned," said Chris Fenton, the district's deputy superintendent for business and operations. "Especially at the high school level, students won't be able to begin fall sports practices until the registration process is complete. We urge parents to do this before Aug. 1."
Fall sports practices officially begin Aug. 11.
Residency reverification was put in place by the school board in an attempt to discourage students who live outside the district from attending a Grosse Pointe public school. A district-wide registration was held several years ago, where every family in the district had to re-register.
Having students entering sixth or ninth grade re-register has been deemed a more cost-efficient measure.
Parents or guardians of incoming sixth and ninth graders are now required to appear at the board office, 389 St. Clair, City of Grosse Pointe with proof of residency. In order to register a student, the parent or guardian must show a driver's license or state ID showing an address within the school district and a car insurance form and any one of the following: a closing statement, a property tax bill, a mortgage payment book, a current signed lease or landlord affidavit. Also required are any two of the following bills with the parent or guardian's name: gas and electric bill, telephone or cellular bill, cable bill, water bill, car registration, homeowners or renters insurance statement or a credit card bill. A "current" bill is considered one issued within the past 30 days.
Questions may be directed to the residency/enrollment office, (313) 432-3083. The office is open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Friday. No appointment is necessary.
According to Fenton, arrangements can be made by calling the office if residents have a problem getting there during regular business hours.
"We want to make this as painless as possible," Fenton said.
While approximately 1,000 students need to be registered, a citizen's group called the Residence Committee doesn't believe it goes far enough.
"We don't believe the district is enforcing the residency requirements," said group member Diane Karabetsos of Grosse Pointe Woods. "You either reregister everybody, or you don't do anybody."
The residence committee believes that even when a student is shown to not live within the district, the school board does nothing to remedy the situation. She said her group has provided names to the district of students who do not live within the district, but nothing has been done.
Her committee would like any residency issues to be outsourced and not handled by the district.
"We need to enforce the laws we have," she said. "We have a closed district. We have students cheating the system, and that's not right."
According to Fenton, all incidents of suspected non-residency are investigated by the district.

All Rise...
Judge Erich Asperschlager prefers pigs in space.
Editor's Note
Our review of Space Buddies (Blu-Ray), published February 3rd, 2009, is also available.
The Charge
One small leap for dog. One giant leap for dogkind.
Opening Statement
Here's how I imagine the pitch meeting went:
Executive #1: Alright, we need to make a new direct-to-DVD movie with those talking dogs the kids like so much, but we need to think of someplace new for them to go.
Executive #2: You mean like space?
Executive #1: You feel like Thai for lunch?
Facts of the Case
Disney's lovable talking pups are back for their third adventure. First they played sports, and then they were sled dogs. This time, they're Space Buddies.
Not content to sit home while their masters go on a field trip to see the launch of the Vision One unmanned space shuttle, their dogs follow them to the high-security facility. But when their exploration strands them on board the ship during take-off, the five canine "buddies"—zen leader Buddha (Field Cate, Pushing Daisies), sister Rosebud (Liliana Mumy, Higglytown Heroes), food-crazy Budderball (Josh Flitter, Horton Hears a Who), hip-hop howler B-Dawg (Skyler Gisondo, The Bill Engvall Show), and dirt-loving Mudbud (Henry Hodges, Snow Buddies)—find themselves at the mercy of a clueless mission control and a scheming scientist (Kevin Weisman, Alias) determined to sabotage the shuttle's maiden voyage.
In need of fuel, the buddies' ship docks with an abandoned Russian space station where they meet a "Dogmonaut" named Spudnick (Jason Earles, Hannah Montana) who joins their crew. When the humans back home realize their ship has stowaways, it's up to the head scientist's pet ferret, Gravity (Amy Sedaris, Strangers With Candy), to talk them back home.
The Evidence
Okay, parents. Let's get down to business. I know what you're wondering: How bad is Space Buddies? If I buy this for my kid will I be able to sit in the same room while they watch it, or will I be tempted to send it to live on some nice family's farm?
I wish I could tell you this movie will surprise you, but it's probably exactly what you expect. It's contrived, unfunny, and the animated dog mouths are an affront to all that is decent. Of course, the bright side is that it's no worse than you'd expect, either. The story's pretty forgettable, but it's a pleasant enough diversion that you probably won't mind your kids watching it again (and again and again).
The Buddies movies are a spin-off of the long-running Air Bud series, about an amazing dog who plays all kinds of sports. I remember liking the first movie. The dog was a regular dog. He didn't talk, and he could really play basketball. I mean, he actually made baskets. No CGI, no trick photography, no clever editing. That dog is more of a basketball player than I'll ever be. Too bad they couldn't leave well enough alone. Granted, I never saw any of the sequels, but the series must have gone downhill in a hurry if Space Buddies is its most recent evolutionary step.
By all rights, the story should be OK. Whatever you think of talking animals, space exploration is exciting. I mean, who didn't want to be an astronaut when they grew up? Somehow, though, Space Buddies makes the infinite possibilities of space seem dull. Once the dogs get shot into space nothing happens. It's an automated ship on a set course to the moon. What could go wrong? I guess the writers realized their problem, which is why they decided to manufacture random moments of dramatic tension—like putting the ship in the path of a meteor shower, blowing up a Russian space station, or contemplating the PR implications of stranding a bunch of cute puppies on the moon. Just as quickly as those tense moments come, though, the problems are resolved and the buddies are back to safely trading one-liners and space puns. After all, we wouldn't want to scare the kids.
Putting animated mouths on animals and babies may once have been novel, but you don't see it much these days outside of Super Bowl ads. That didn't stop Disney from doing it to these poor dogs, though. The real problem with animating just a mouth is that whatever funny or dramatic thing it says tends to be out of sync with the rest of the face. The dogs in this movie are well trained, but they look bored. By which I mean they look like dogs. Besides Spudnick, whose Russian accent comes and goes, the only way to tell the dogs apart are the things they wear: Buddha's got a charm necklace, Rosebud's got a pink bow, Budderball has eye black, Mudbud is dirty, and B-Dawg has what I believe used to be called "bling." He's by far the most annoying character. Not only does he belong to some fake hip-hop white kid, he calls everyone "dawg"—as in "I think we're in space, dawg" or "I think this counts as animal abuse, dawg."
The humans in this movie are slightly more animated than the dogs. They exist to move the story forward, and to give the buddies people back home to be worried about them. There aren't any bad performances, save a couple of the kids, but this isn't their movie. They're just props for the canine protagonists. The only two-legged actor who really stands out is The Drew Carey Show's Diedrich Bader as a crazy Russian cosmonaut, and he's just "comic" relief.
Assuming your kids know how to use the DVD remote, here are the special features you get to endure: a couple minutes of fake "bloopers" (like the ones at the end of Toy Story, just not as funny), a music video for Alyson Stoner's cover of "Dancing in the Moonlight," and a 12-minute "Disneypedia" featurette narrated by the buddies that shuffles behind-the-scene footage with real facts about space travel. In lieu of an audio commentary, you have the option of watching the movie with "buddy facts" turned on—a sparse kind of Pop-Up Video for the Disney set.
The Rebuttal Witnesses
As dumb as this movie is, it looks pretty slick. Leave it to Disney to give a direct-to-DVD release the big budget treatment. There are plenty of special effects, and except for some obvious CGI, they're convincing. The picture quality is great, as is the 5.1 surround soundtrack, which gets a good workout during the action scenes.
Closing Statement
Sure, it takes place in a world where the international news cycle stops everything to follow the fate of a bunch of space dogs, and its most pivotal scene revolves around a flatulent dog fixing a shuttle malfunction with a "pull my paw" gag, but Space Buddies is, to quote another intergalactic traveler, mostly harmless. I'm not saying I'd recommend it. I'm just helping you feel better when you finally give in to your begging kids.
The Verdict
Who's a guilty boy? Who's a guilty boy?

Did we give Space Buddies a fair trial? yes / no

Firstly, the morning guy in the reception is so rude. I was asking how to operate the heater in the room, but he rudely replies in a difficult to understand English slang that the heater does not work if the temperature does not drop to a certain degree. And he will show u an impatient face if u ask again bcoz u Don understand what he says. And again Upon check out, I put my luggage on the sofa at the reception, again he rudely ask me to move it somewhere else as if I'm in military. He really has an attitude problem. And Don even ask them to help u to print any letters, bcoz they always run out of paper. The stairs to 2nd night 3rd floor is so steep and dangerous if u have to carry huge piece of luggage. Not recommended for elder ppl. On the other hand, the lady in the evening shift is by friendly.
