Like a recurring bad dream, the College of Charleston proved it could play with the elite teams of the Colonial Athletic Association for a half of basketball.
Unfortunately for the Cougars, a game is 40 minutes long.
William & Mary's Marcus Thornton and Brandon Britt each scored 16 points as the Tribe rallied from a double-digit first half deficit to beat the College of Charleston, 70-59, Saturday night in the quarterfinals of the CAA Tournament at Baltimore Arena.
The Cougars finished a disappointing season with a 14-18 mark. The Tribe (19-11) will take on Towson in the semifinals of the CAA Tournament Sunday afternoon.
The Cougars led by as many as 14 points, but could not find any offensive rhythm over the final 20 minutes as they were outscored 42-19 in the second half.
"This was kind of a microcosm of our entire season," said College of Charleston coach Doug Wojcik. "At the end of the day it was our inability to make shots, open shots, that doomed us again. It's kind of been the story for us all season. I told the guys all week, if we score 72 points in each of the three games we will win the championship. We scored 59 points and that's not going to get it done."
The Cougars could do little wrong in the first half against the Tribe, scoring 40 points, the second most points CofC had scored in a half all season. The Cougars went on a 16-5 run midway through the first half to grab a 29-17 lead on Willis Hall's 3-pointer with 7:09 to play.
The Cougars led by as many as 14 points, 36-22, on Anthony Stitt's 3-pointer with 2:37 to play in the opening half and went into the locker room with a 40-28 advantage.
"We did a lot of good things in the first half," Wojcik said. "We were knocking down our shots and our defense was really good. We just didn't do it for an entire game."
It appeared that the second half was going to be more of the same as Charleston's Anthony Thomas drove to the basket for an uncontested layup on the Cougars first possession to give Charelston a 42-28 lead.
But William & Mary coach Tony Shaver called a quick timeout and verbally went after his players.
The Tribe responded with a 11-2 run to cut the gap to 44-39 on Thornton's 15-foot jumper with 15:20 to play.
Stitt hit a layup to end the run, but by then the damage had been done. A Thomas layup with 8:33 to play gave the Cougars a 53-50 lead, but the Tribe answered with an 8-0 and took a 58-53 lead on Britt's three-point play with 6:12 to play.
The Cougars had plenty of chances to cut into the Tribe's lead and get back into the game, but couldn't make a shot. The Cougars missed all 10 3-point attempts they took in the second half.
"Our effort was terrific, our defense and rebounder were terrific, it was our inability to make shots and get to the free throw line that did us in," Wojcik said. "It's just real frustrating to watch because it's the same thing we've seen all year. The guys played hard, they gave great effort all season, we just didn't make enough shots."
Hall led the Cougars with 15 points and 14 rebounds and Thomas chipped in 14 points. Stitt finished with 11 points.

From Comcast SportsNet
NEW YORK (AP) -- The person who collected Ryan Braun's urine samples that tested positive for elevated levels of testosterone says he followed the collection program's protocol. Dino Laurenzi Jr. issued a statement Tuesday confirming he handled the sample submitted following a playoff game on Oct. 1. He says he has been a collector for Comprehensive Drug Testing since 2005 and has taken more than 600 samples for Major League Baseball's drug-testing program. Braun's 50-game suspension was overturned last week. Laurenzi says he stored Braun's sample in his basement in accordance with drug-collecting procedure because there was "no FedEx office located within 50 miles of Miller Park that would ship packages that day or Sunday." Braun, however, contends at least five FedEx locations within 5 miles were open until 9 p.m. and there also was a 24-hour location. Laurenzi says protocol is to "safeguard" the samples at home until FedEx can ship the sample to the lab and that he didn't tamper with the package.

I just wanted to write and say how thrilled I am with all the pairs of specs I have received from you over the last week. They are absolutely fabulous and make getting up for work a far more cheerful prospect, matching my outfit to a different pair each day! I have now got my boyfriend into the website as well, and he is also really pleased with the 2 pairs he ordered; he says they are a much better quality than the reading glasses he has bought from other places, sometimes for as much or more than the prices you charge. We both thought the speed of delivery brilliant as well, and the idea of matching the spec design to the case is a top idea, making them so easy to find (they look cute in the bathroom, too!)

HiI have just ordered another pair of glasses from you as I was so pleased with the others I have purchased!Sally
I am usually quick to complain about bad service but it makes a refreshing change to receive the fantastic service I have this week. I placed my order for 3 pairs of glasses on Tuesday and received it on Thursday and am wearing a pair today (Friday)!!!
I found the e-mails advising me of the status of my order helpful too.
The range is excellent, certainly something for everyone and much more interesting than what I have found is generally available in the shops. I also love the co-ordinated cases; it would have been so easy for you to have used one type of uninteresting case for all styles. They are small enough too to fit into the smallest handbag!!
I know where to come when I need more glasses!!!
Thank you once again for the first-rate service.
I heard you on LBC yesterday and we are really pleased to have a company with a real interest in glasses.

Mississippians support Gulf restoration
they support funding to restore the environmental health of the Gulf, according to a new poll released by a coalition of conservation, business and fishing groups dedicated to restoring the Gulf Coast. The poll was funded by The Walton Family Foundation.
The poll is timely because while the U.S. House of Representatives has passed an oil-spill response bill that directs funding to Gulf Coast restoration, the Senate, even with the elections fast approaching, has yet to act on oil-spill response legislation.
The poll by Democratic polling firm Lake Research Partners and GOP polling firm Bellwether Research and Consulting found that – regardless of political affiliation – voters across the Gulf region have a deep commitment to restoration and see it as key to the economic health of the region. In fact, majorities of Independents (67 percent), Democrats (82 percent) and Republicans (67 percent) said they are more likely to support federal legislators who will make new investments in restoration.
"This new polling confirms what common sense already told us. Voters overwhelmingly believe restoring the Gulf environment will also strengthen the region's economy, and make it more resilient when facing future storms or manmade disasters," said Scott Burns, director of The Walton Family Foundation's Environment and Conservation Program. "This is a clear message that restoration in the Gulf region is a high priority."
Across the Gulf region, more than two out of three voters (68 percent) recognize that degradation to the Gulf Coast as a result of man‑made activities had occurred even before the recent oil spill, and more than three out of four voters (77 percent) believe it is important for the federal government to take steps to restore the health of the Gulf region, making this a strong voting issue in the upcoming elections.
"This poll shows Gulf Coast senators that restoring the environmental health of the Gulf's wetlands, marine and coastal areas is both good public policy and good politics," said Paul Harrison, senior director for the Mississippi River at the Environmental Defense Fund. "Gulf Coast voters recognize that it is critical to their economic future, especially for the region's huge fishing and tourism industries."
The telephone survey of 2,061 voters from all five Gulf region states (Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas) was conducted between September 7 and September 13, 2007. Over 400 of these voters were from Mississippi.

Johnny Jalapeno's Cast-Iron Blueberry Pie
Total Time
Prep 0 mins
Cook 45 mins
Cooking in a cast iron skillet is the true cowboy way and no one knows about cowboy cooking more than the famous outlaw, 'Johnny Jalapeno'! Legend tells that Johnny went all out with this pie. Eyeing a delicious looking patch of wild blueberries, he crept up to it injun style (real low and quiet) and got the best berries he could gather up. But soon the chase was on as Johnny Jalapeno heard the crows coming! Quick as lightning, and running like the wind, poor Johnny was being chased and pecked all the way to back to the campsite. The McDaniel gang had a hootin-hollerin' time shootin them birds away as Johnny made this dessert for the clan. "We gotta look after the best cook in the west boys!" Shouted Ricky Mac, the gangs leader. May we also suggest Johnny Jalapeno's Cast-Iron Apple Pancake
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 pie crusts, unbaked (ready made or recommened Pie Crust 101)
- 1⁄2 cup sugar (depending on how sweet you like it)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
- 1⁄2 teaspoon mace (or cinnamon or nutmeg)
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- 4 cups fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons butter, cut up in small pieces
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place one of the pie crusts in bottom of 10" cast-iron skillet, spreading it gently to cover the bottom and up the sides of the pan.
- In a large bowl or pan, blend sugar, flour, lemon peel, mace, and salt together in a bowl. Add blueberries and blend well to incorporate, mashing some of the blueberries. Add the blueberry mixture into the bottom crust, spreading evenly. Dot with butter.
- Place top crust over top of blueberries. Carefully lift away a portion of the bottom crust away from the pan and tuck top crust between pan and bottom crust. Repeat until you've gone all way around the pan to seal the crust. Cut 3-6 small slits to vent (We cut as many slices as we want from the pie, sort of like pre-slicing it that way). Bake approximately 30 minutes.
- Remove pie from oven and sprinkle the top with sugar and if neccesary, line the outside edge of the pie crust with aluminum foil to avoid burning the crust.
- Place back into oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until berry juice is bubbling from the slits and crust is golden brown. Remove from oven and let pie cool completely before serving.
Most Helpful
Delicious pie! So fun and rustic made in the cast-iron skillet. I made 1/2 (about) of the recipe in a mini skillet. I put a piece of foil under the skillet to keep the bubbling juice from making a mess in my oven. Great dessert - thanks for sharing the recipe!
Loved everything about this pie ~ The making of it, the rustic presentation of it, & the wonderful flavor! The whole thing reminded me of my granddad making a similar pie when we did an over-night ride (horseback) in rural Montana when I was a kid & we found enough June berries (where we camped) for him to make the berry pie! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe! A keeper! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]
When you want to have a nice thick blueberry pie, make it this way in an old frying pan. Comes out great on the bottom of the pie crust and no more "soggy" crusts! Browned nicely on top and bottom! Thank you for sharing!

With a brand new touchscreen operating system, formidable features and a full slide-out keyboard, the BlackBerry Torch is a pocket powerhouse.
Reviews summary
I have an emotional response whenever I write an overview of a new BlackBerry. Part of the reason is because I have been a loyal BlackBerry user for several years, and partly because I have watched as RIM has gone from "Trailblazing" status to playing catch-up to a new market with new benchmarks.
The BlackBerry Torch illustrates my point about playing catch-up because the Torch offers some fantastic features which, unlike the trailblazing days of "Push Email", are more akin to just getting even with what Apple and Android have been offering for some time.
There are four key features offered on the Torch that are excellent, and none of them are new to the market... just to BlackBerry. Here's a brief breakdown of those features:
1. Two-finger Tap: Allows you to select multiple things simultaneously, similar to holding down the "command" key on your home PC.
2. Comprehensive Universal Search: The Torch is able to expand searches to include contacts, apps, bookmarks, emails, etc, based on whatever search string you type.
3. Wireless Sync: This feature allows you to browse your home computer's music on your phone and download it, as long as you are on your home wireless network.
4. Photo Folders: Using geolocation, the Torch is able to sort your photos based on where you took them.
In keeping with the theme of "keeping up", the Torch now offers cover flow, which Apple has had for some time. The Torch has auto-wrapping (which reformats text to fit whatever level you zoom to), which Android already offers, and they offer fully integrated social media, which Microsoft has already done.
Add to all of this RIM's third attempt at a touch screen, this time on a vertical slider which you will either love or hate, and you end up with a fine effort from RIM to, well, bring to market a device that is decidedly "caught up".
Specs summary
The BlackBerry Torch 9800's screen is 3.2 inches with 360 x 480 pixels resolution.
There is a 624 MHz processor (CPU).
The phone runs on the BlackBerry 6.0 operating system (OS).
Internal memory is 512 MB. An external, MicroSD, MicroSDHC (up to 32 GB) expansion slot is available for increased storage capacity.
The phone is powered by a Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion), 1300 mAh battery. BlackBerry's performance ratings are 18 days standby time, 330 minutes (2G), 348 minutes (3G).

Mbah a Moute pays a visit
Bucks fans may have to sit down for this one.
What does Bucks second-round draft choice Luc Richard Mbah a Moute of UCLA like most about playing the game of basketball?
"I love playing defense," said the 6-foot-8 forward who was in town Tuesday to meet with the local media for the first time. "That's the best part about basketball. Defense wins championships and I'm proof of that. Ever since I've played basketball, I've played for a program that put a big emphasis on defense and I've always been successful at it. So I'm hoping to do the same here in Milwaukee."
Upgrading the team's defense was exactly what the Bucks had in mind when they selected Mbah a Moute with the 37th overall pick in last week's college draft. He's a player who is know for his defense, rebounding, and energy and since the Bucks have been lacking in all three in recent years, he seemed like a good fit for the Bucks.
General manager John Hammond pointed out that not only can Mbah a Moute play defense, but he can do it at several positions.
"We look at a guy like Luc and he's a multi-position player," said Hammond. "You are what you can defend and the one thing when we look at a guy like Luc, he can defend multiple positions...power forward, small forward, even (shooting) guard at times. He has great feet and hands and we just love him defensively. Love the fact that here's a guy that said I will do anything that it will take to help my team win games. He did that at UCLA and he won a lot of games in doing so."
Mbah a Moute was one of the first players that the Bucks brought into town for a pre-draft workout. In fact, he was part of the group that included West Virginia forward Joe Alexander who turned out to be the Bucks first-round pick. Mbah a Moute said Tuesday that he felt an immediate comfort level with the Bucks at that workout and when he fell out of the first round of the draft, he would hoping he would end up going to the Bucks at No. 37.
"The last team I worked out for was Boston, so when I didn't get picked by Boston (which had the last pick in the first round), I was hoping to get picked by the Bucks at 37," he said. "I didn't know if I was going to get picked by any other team earlier than that. I heard some rumors, but I was hoping to get picked by the Bucks. Like I said, that's the team I connected with from the coaches to some of the players I met and some of the people on the staff."
Now it's a matter of working with coach Scott Skiles and his new teammates and getting things turned around for the Bucks.
"It's going to happen," said Mbah a Moute. "With me coming in and Joe (Alexander) and the trade (for Richard Jefferson) and the other guys on the team, everybody is going to change that (losing) attitude and it's going to happen. It's going to happen sometime soon."
Jefferson update: Hammond said that the Bucks were still working on getting Jefferson, obtained in a draft night trade with New Jersey, into town to meet with team officials and discuss the trade with the local media. Hammond was asked if Jefferson was struggling with the trade.
"I'm assuming that it's never easy for any player to go through something like this," said Hammond. "So struggles? I would say that it's the natural struggle that would happen when a player is traded."
Asked if he thought that Jefferson was struggling with the fact that he had been traded, or that he had been traded to Milwaukee, Hammond said, "To the best of my knowledge it's the trade."

The Highland region produces many of Scotland's richest malts. Single malts from the Highlands, however, vary greatly in style. The Northern Highlands is home to whisky distilleries such as Dalmore and Glenmorangie - rich, sweet malts; the Southern Highlands producers light, fruiter spirits such as Edradour and Aberfeldy; to the Eastern Highlands, distilleries such as Glen Garioch make smoky, fruity whiskies; and the Western Highlands plays host to a selection of full, powerful, slightly smoky malts such as Oban.

The second annual "Picnic with the Police" is a fun event designed to build a better relationship between the community and the Albany Police Department.
Police are looking at this as a way to be more proactive in the community.
Officer Kawaski Barnes, on of the main organizers say's, "this is my home, I'm a native Albanian, and I just saw a need. I feel the police department can do more proactively, than just being reactive when situations happen."
Off-duty officers helped run activities for children like potato sack races and water balloon tosses. While on duty cops found some time to stop by and talk to the public.
Community members say events like these are what the city should be doing, and the police are happy to be doing it for the community.

Skip to comments.Stocks nosedive after Fed's gloomy assessment
Posted on 09/22/2011 4:47:50 AM PDT by mylife
The U.S. Federal Reserve's tacit acknowledgment that America's economic slowdown is likely to persist for quite a while sent global stock markets skidding Thursday as investors brushed off the central bank's efforts to spur growth and focused instead on its gloomy assessment. Oil tumbled too but the dollar held its own against the euro, which has been weighed down in recent weeks over concerns that Greece might go bankrupt. Hong Kong's Hang Seng led stock markets lower, with a near 5 percent dive.
(Excerpt) Read more at finance.yahoo.com ...
Euro Markets are down 5%
More Choke and Change
Futures down 229 right now.
I dont know, but things sure are ugly.
Everything is down.
Fantastic buys in all markets.
They don't blow a horn when the bottom is reached, so you'll have to judge for yourself.
Perhaps more important the U.S. 10 yr. bond, which closed at a new low yesterday, of 1.88%, is now trading at 1.79%.
Was 2.2% 2 months ago!
Ever the optimist eh?
The twist is working!
Kind of...
You first...
Pretty sure this qualifies as falling from the sidewalk, into the gutter.
(assumes a prone, passed out drunk posture, as a starting point)
(it may not hurt much, but you can't get much lower)
Buy low, sell high, right? The only question is how low is low.
I'll take 7-8 times trailing earnings with a 5-6% dividend. Don't see that yet.
Here's hoping the trashing of paper metal prices continues until my next payday. Maybe I can get some silver at 36/oz.
I used to wonder if the Fed could ever get more stupid. But they never seem to disappoint. Taking long rates down just digs a deeper hole. We are never ever ever going to pay back those 10 years (never mind 30 years) with paper worth anything close to today's. The buyers will be lucky if we simply don't default. So this bubble in long bond prices will certainly pop and the bigger the bubble the worse will be the effects of the pop.
twist of the knife.
Does anyone have a record of stock performance on days that TOTUS delivers speeches?
Wall Street expectations were not met as they expected the Fed might offer a glimmer of a hint they might fire up the printing press with another round of QE3 pump and dump to move stocks up. The Feds unwritten mission has always been to push up stocks and the hxll with the dollar. Problem is the stock market is not now and never has been 100% correlated and representative of the economy and the fundamentals favor the bear not the bull. The market is about expectations.
It was baby boomer demographics and new IRA/401K retirement plans that pushed the stock market up during the 80s and 90s and since then, it has essentially been dead money for buy and holders. The overhead is about demographics. Americans that are now in or approaching retirement want yield and secure returns and are not as interested in a Ponzi scheme or playing musical chairs where as demonstrated repeatedly, the casino and insiders control the music.
The dream of Wall St insiders (after they got IRAs and 401Ks) has been to capture the cash flow and a cut from Social Security taxes, and that inflow to market will offset the downward bias from boomers liquidating equity to live on. It will transfer from a government Ponzi scheme to a Wall St Ponzi scheme. Different players same outcome except Wall St banks will get their greedy corrupt paws on a significant cut just like the Fed Reserve.
By reducing savings rates to almost zero the Fed is pushing money towards their NYC money people cronies and limiting options on interest returns for average savers. Buy into the stock market at your own risk. Expect another major hit before the end of the year exacerbated by declining global earnings and US tax selling. Nothing will be fixed in DC this year or even later because politicians are inherently corrupt and interested only in getting reelected and helping those who feed them - big donors, and not at all interested in fixing our nation.
green shoots,
It seems almost everyone in a position of leadership in this nation is trying to push the coming disaster on beyond their time of service. But, as I wrote our governor when he declined to run for president due to "family issues", when this blows, all their families are going down right along with mine.
Good analysis!
But with negative real interest rates, and the market still overinflated, what's a saver to do?
Buy physical silver and gold, as well as making the usual domestic preparations.
Wish I knew. I'm retired and facing the same dilemma as everyone. I've been involved with the markets since the early 70s.
Been bearish on the financial markets for some time due to 1- US boomer demographics (i.e IRAs/401Ks hoping to retire boomers drove it up, and retired boomers will crash it) and, 2- a belief that the system is being gamed at all levels from banks to politics (both aisles) to CEOs. Crony capitalism doesn't work. We need capitalists and business taking risk and they alone paying the price if they fail (not taxpayers). Kickbacks and govt connections are subsidizing every level of business.
We are still in a period of fraudulent accounting driven by excessive greed from those at the top. Corporate CEO compensation is tied to manipulable short term changes in stock prices. To be honest my market skepticism began when Ken Lay and others were able to easily scam the system. Except for a small 10-15% allocation I was out of the financial equity markets even before 2008.
Diversification is a must in asset investment classes including prec metals and real estate, and among those institutions where you hold your nest egg. i.e. Not only have many different colored eggs but keep them in different refrigerators. Twenty years ago the market "gurus" were claiming 10% annually could be attainable into the future with minimal risk. They lied. Everything we are told by the financial media is to benefit a certain segment and it is generally not Joe average. The Central Banks as usual are working against you.
Today we need to be in defensive mode and scale back everything from expected returns to expenditures and expect minimal returns on fixed income. If you stretch for yield by increasing risk you risk losing it all at these levels. This gradual perception that consumers must scale back in demand is killing the economy too and feeding into the hunkering in psyche.
But this is about catch up time from the debt driven excessive bubble good times during the 80s, 90s and some of 2000s. The credit card was an illusion of wealth that the US government and consumers used and now the debt is coming due. We used it for foolish wars and to cover up for the fact that Congress gave away our economy to China, etc.
Take care and at some point we'll look forward to good times. Sorry for my blabbering. What are your thoughts?
...twisting in the breeze.........
I've got 2 banks battling for my Refi and when I asked them what today's rates were, given the 11 basis point drop in the 10 year bond, they said "no change from yesterday"!!
A very interesting take on IRA/401Ks.
Not me.
You're doing the right thing. Borrowing is free right now.
I agree with you completely.
Regarding the market, I think there's been a side effect to everyone getting into it too. I call it the socialization of business. Back when few played the market, a greater percentage of investors were more savvy. They were closer to the facts of each business, and more likely to vote their shares.
That situation kept a bit of a lid on business in terms of corporate governance.
But now that all us "great unwahsed" are "investors", we are more ripe for a good scamming. Hence corporate governance acts in colusion with the investment industry, with us "investors" left as the suckers at the table.
Netiher the CEOS nor their boards have any real skin in the game. The practice of using grants and options as incentives is laughable. Giving those away as freely as they are given does not incur any real personal risk on the recipient.
Bottom line? The market is done as a means of actual "investment" in any capitalistic sense. Now it's a gambling game for fools; trying t forsee the next handout, but all the while playing without the whole deck of cards.
Back in reality though, we are still faced with a "what now?" situation.
Returns? What are those? :) The real interest rate has been negative for a while now. Recently, even the nominal rate has gone negative from time to time.
My wife is in accounting, as are a lot of her friedns. Just this weekend she told me of one friend who parked corporate money in T bills selling at a premium which was higher than the return. Literally a negative reutrn. A storage fee, if you will.
I read the other day some banks were offering negative interest on selected large deposits too. They simply don't want the money, and are essentially charging a storage fee or handling charge.
In my opinion, the economy is at as close to a standstill as I've ever seen in my life.
If there's a bright side, I guess it's this: The major brake on business right now is uncertainty regarding the government. Any change on that front (and no, I don't think we'll ever actually turn right anymore, but we may well return to our more palatable, mainstream leftist slide) will probably relase some amount of pent up demand.
Here's hoping we live to see it!

on July 27, 1999 - 12:01 AM
The name is a mouthful, the aim is simple: To reach troubled souls on inner city streets and show them a better way.
MAD DADS is an acronym for Men Against Destruction, Defending Against Drugs and Social disorder. It was started 10 years ago in Omaha, Neb., by a group of concerned African-American fathers. The group's fifth annual convention officially kicks off here Thursday morning. About 300 people are expected to attend.
The three-day convention in the Adam's Mark Hotel features workshops, speeches and youth activities. Featured speakers, aside from local officials, include national MAD DADS president Eddie Staton; Pedro Perez, 1998 New York State Police Officer of the Year; and Tyrone Powers, author of "Eyes to My Soul; The Rise and Fall of a Black FBI Agent."
MAD DADS has grown to 57,000 members, with chapters in 16 states. The Buffalo chapter, headed by Dwayne Ferguson, started two years ago and has 25 active members. The men take to the streets two nights a week.
"We're out there to make contact," said Ferguson, adding that the group has no policing function. "If we save just one soul a day, we've done our job."
"We try to link people up with jobs, school, whatever they need," said Deacon James Giles of the Buffalo MAD DADS. "We want them to see that there's more out there than what they've got."
They tell the addicted about drug and alcohol programs, try to steer high school dropouts into GED programs and direct the unskilled to job-training agencies. MAD DADS also provides job leads, including a pipeline to the We Care Transportation Co. on East Amherst Street. We Care president Jon Arnet is a MAD DADS member.
"MAD DADS seeks to present men as positive role models," said convention chairman L. Nathan Hare, "as well as (provide) a visible presence . . . against the negative forces destroying our children, our homes and our communities."

Walt Disney Plans To Halve Its Emissions By 2012
The Walt Disney Company released its first comprehensive corporate responsibility report. Previously, the company reported its environmental progress in its annual Enviroport.
The new report includes a set of strategic environmental goals and three-to-five-year goals to reduce emissions, waste, electricity and fuel use, as well as its impact on water and ecosystems.
In 2006, the company emitted about 566,000 tons of direct GHG emissions. By 2012, Disney plans to achieve 50 percent of its long-term goal of zero net direct GHG emissions through a combination of reductions, efficiencies and offsets.
In 2006, Disney diverted 128,000 tons of waste from landfill. By 2013, the company plans to decrease solid waste to landfill to half of 2006 baseline levels and increase the percentage of purchases that include post-consumer recycled material.
Earlier this year, Disneyland Resort started using recycled cooking oil to power its Disneyland Railroad steam trains, which is expected to save the resort about 200,000 gallons of petroleum diesel per year.
In 2007, Disneyland said it has made a number of green changes that saved the park $60 million over the previous 10 years.
Reader Comments
Nice to see that Disney is focused on this. Climate Counts gave them a 25 out of 100 in their last round of scoring, which equates to 3rd place out of the 6 media companies rated. If Mickey follows through, this should give them a boost.
Disney theme parks should aim for 100% renewable electricity generation following what many ski resorts have been doing in the last several years.
On a separate note, they acquired Ideal Bite last year so clearly they're believers in the green consumer/media market.

Wrong Belief
Why Chemtrails?
Link to this page using this short URL: http://urlbam.com/ha/M0073
This article was last updated April 6, 2015
Why is Anyone Interested In Spraying Chemtrails?
I have taken a lot of time to assemble this story because I firmly believe that chemtrails are harming and killing people.
They caused me to have a low-potassium heart attack in March, 2011 (ambulance ride and everything). We have all witnessed the continuing trail of dying celebrities. Many of us have also witnessed our friends and relatives falling sick or dying in the past few years.
In my own documented experience, you can clearly see from the list of ailments that I am experiencing from chemtrails (on the Ailments page) that the symptoms of mercury poisoning and chemtrail poisoning are very similar. Combined with the fact that many of the symptoms we experience during spraying can only be attributed to mercury poisoning, we now have tangible symptomatic evidence that chemtrails contain mercury (in addition to aluminum and barium).
Soil levels of barium, aluminum, and mercury are all rising at alarming rates, and although we often hear about aluminum and barium, we don't often hear about mercury. None of these metals are helpful for life. Additionally, they are well known to be extremely harmful. This should lead us to the question, "Why are they spraying?"
Having studied law (personally, not in school) and spending a lot of time studying political history, I have come to the firm conclusion that there are 4 primary purposes for the chemtrail campaign:
1. Cover Your Ankles
First, it's a cover-your-ankles campaign.
The pharmaceutical industry—probably the most powerful lobbying group on the planet—is currently poised on the edge of a cliff because of potential litigation resulting from the death and harm caused by mercury in vaccines. Add to this the rapidly-growing percentage of the population that has learned about mercury and is now refusing vaccines. This has caused human exposure to mercury to drop dramatically.
With this sudden drop in mercury exposure, you would expect mercury-related diseases—like ADD, ADHD, and autism—to decline. This decline would provide compelling epidemiological (population-based) data that would (again) point to mercury as the cause.
With the mountain of data that already exists condemning mercury as a major cause of disease, this epidemiological data could tip the scales and cause a landslide of litigation that would bankrupt the pharmaceutical industry—a good thing, in this author's opinion.
To prevent this landslide, the pharmaceutical companies had to find a way to distribute mercury—or some other childhood disease-causing toxins—to the population. Chemtrails are the perfect solution because inhaled nano particles of mercury or aluminum cause health effects very similar to vaccine-injected mercury. When you inhale these tiny particles, they pass right through the lungs and become immediately available to the bloodstream. Chemtrails are a literal vaccination from the sky.
Furthermore, drenching the population with toxic metals has the added benefit of making millions of people sick, which is the way pharmaceutical corporations grew to be the second largest industry in the world, second only to oil. They sell people the instrument of disease (toxins in vaccines), then they sell people the solution. It's called "Machiavellianism" and it's a very effective scheme to get rich quick.
It's important to realize that the pharmaceutical companies are not working alone. They don't have the jets and other infrastructure, nor the authority, required to carry out an operation of this magnitude. This would take the federal government and the military working together. In my studies, I discovered that they do work together, so much so that they could be considered the same organization.
To this same end (illness and death), high-powered figures in the government have exposed their supported for population control.
2. Population Control
It is well-known among contemporary researchers that a modern-day population control agenda is aggressively under way.
There are two modalities to population control:
In this respect, mercury is the perfect poison, fulfilling both of the above requirements.
Mercury Kills
Mercury causes cancer, miscarriage, birth defects, and a host of other common diseases that end or severely shorten life spans. In fact, most major diseases today can be traced to mercury toxicity. The greatest benefit of the use of mercury in this regard is the fact that these diseases are not known to be associated with mercury by modern medical practitioners (despite the connection in medical literature); therefore, people never suspect that their diseases or the death of their loved ones was ultimately caused by mercury.
Mercury Sterilizes
Mercury is toxic to both the male and female reproductive systems. It induces sterility, yet, this symptom of mercury poisoning is completely ignored in modern medical training.
The details of this induced sterility are discussed in the video by Dr. David Ayoub called "Mercury, Autism, and the Global Vaccine Agenda". This is one of the most important videos any parent will ever watch.
Modern-Day Population Control Policy
Population control is a hot subject. It is also a subject that is polarized: you either know all about it or you know nothing about it.
There is no sense in explaining current population control policy or agendas because many have already done this very effectively. So, I will provide you with a few links below that will introduce and document the subject. I trust that you—as a loving parent, and humanitarian—will follow up by searching the internet for more information. The information is available, well-documented, and easy to find.
Following are the documentation links.
3. Agriculture Control
GMO giant Monsanto has developed seeds for agriculture that are resistant to free aluminum in soils. If chemtrails contain aluminum, which all evidence now supports, then eventually the pH of soils will shift and make it difficult for many agricultural crops to grow. Monsanto, with their new aluminum resistant seeds, will come to the rescue and sell their patented seeds and in return, will gain enormous control over the world's food supply.
I spoke to the head of the Maine Bureau of Air Quality in 2010 who told me that the aluminum levels in Maine soils has risen over the past few years. He then went on to offer several explanations for this, none of them related to chemtrails.
Multiple tests conducted by scientists in California have revealed rising soil aluminum and barium levels.
White bark syndrome is the slang name given to the disease found in an ever-increasing number of trees. The white bark on these trees has been tested and found to contain high levels of aluminum.
White nose disease is the name of the mysterious disease in the northeast that is causing bats to fall out of the sky dead. The disease may be the result of chronically depressed immune systems allowing opportunistic fungal infections. Barium is well-known as an immune system depressant.
I personally witnessed the die off of an entire ladybug colony during 2 days of very intensive spraying here in Maine in 2008.
The Future of Food
As soils become more and more aluminum toxic, the future of food looks bleak, but the future of Monsanto looks extremely profitable.
The Connection
So what is the connection between the military, who is spraying chemtrails, and Monsanto?
The connection is clear and well-known among geopolitical researchers but is too big to cover in this article. Nevertheless, if you understand what controlled regulation is, then you probably already understand how corporations control governments.
4. Centralization of Power
Another major purpose of chemtrails opens a Pandora's box of conspiracy and conjecture, the world is clearly undergoing a major political shift that is thrusting every nation—against the will of the people—toward a centralization of power. Nearly all nations of the world have surrendered their sovereignty to the United Nations in the past 20 years. This has been accomplished through a series of changes in law that either "harmonize" national law with United Nations policy, or subjugates national law to United Nations authority.
These massive, yet relatively silent, changes to the political structure of the world are drawing a picture that looks eerily similar to predictions made in the Bible.
I'll leave the detailed research of this intriguing subject in your capable hands, but I will condense this massive concept to this all-important residue:
The shift of power—although already legally accomplished—will take much coercion in order to bring the hearts and minds of the people of various nations into acceptance. The most effective fundamental method of mass coercion is through the use of fear, and few things can induce fear more effectively than a perceived shortage of food.
The punch line for this coercion of the people to accept a centralization of power is this:
In order to unify the nations, you must create a new structure—a new order—from a synthesized chaos. This chaos must be global and it must be frightening enough to coerce people into giving up their basic human rights in exchange for security: Security provided by—you guessed it—the United Nations.
So, where does the chaos come from?
It comes—in part—from the deterioration of the environment
Since chemtrail spraying began in various places around the world, we have seen a growing number of anomalous events that seem to be connected. There have been bats dying, the loss of entire ladybug colonies, square-miles of oceans covered in an unknown fibrous organism similar to Morgellon's, and now the mysterious loss of trees. Are the trees dying of some known disease? No, their bark is turning white from the ground up as if they are pulling something up from the soil—aluminum—a substance known to be a component of chemtrails.
Naturally, the architects of this plan will blame overpopulation for the visible Earth changes, environmental issues, drought, famine, pestilence, and whatever other problems they induce. These changes will induce the necessary fear to cause people to change their values and become willing to accept a loss of personal rights in exchange for security, food, and other commercial "benefits and services".
So the ultimate outcome of the destruction of the environment by chemtrails is the centralization of power: The justification for the need for a global government to solve global problems; problems they created.
Et. Al.
We believe there are other uses for chemtrails as well, such as HAARP EMF waveguides. The ionized tunnels through the atmosphere created by chemtrails are perfect for increasing the efficiency-of-propagation of EMF waves.
We won't cover this now, but may expand this article in the future to provide an explanation.
Bible Talks About Poisoning The Population
The book of Revelation actually talks about global industrialists (called "merchants of the Earth") using drugs and poison to dumb down the global population ("all the nations") for the purpose of mass deception shortly before the return of Christ. This book uses the word "sorcery", but when we take a careful look at the original language, we find something very interesting.
The word "sorcery" in this passage is the Greek word "pharmakeia" (Strongs #5331) (far-mak-i'-ah). This is the source of the English word "pharmaceutical". The true meaning if the word pharmakeia is "to drug or poison", so here the Bible predicts the chemical dumbing down of the world by drugging and poisoning thousands of years ago.
It should also be mentioned that the phrase "great men" in this verse does not mean "good men" It actually means "powerful men". In today's terms, we would call them "global industrialists and/or bankers".
So, this verse predicts a global deception by a group of powerful industrialists. This deception will be facilitated by drugging and poisoning the population. The target of this great evil is the "all the nations" of the Earth. This is clearly is a direct reference to the dumbing down of the population thereby making them more prone to deception.
No matter how you look at it, this verse is a direct reference to a conspiracy of deception of global proportions.

I love well-written memoirs. They open the world and offer language to understand how different people live, and feel and create.
A recent find is Gail Caldwell's New Life, No Instructions. In this book she tells the story of living with chronic pain and discovering a way through. Unlike those with RA or other inflammatory diseases, her most painful woes could ultimately be helped by the right doctor ( a universal story) and the right surgery ( particular to her).
The following quote got my attention:
"Chronic pain is a mean strategist – it takes away your life a little at a time. Acknowledging it goes against some primitive instinct of survival, and so one adapts by denying. This applies to all kinds of trouble: We find ways to anesthetize ourselves to bad situations. It's easier – at least in the beginning, to pretend the antagonist isn't there – or will go away, or not do it again, or not turn out to be such a problem after all. It's always easier to wait until tomorrow to make the call. Then you look up and the trouble has bullied you into a corner of the room and eclipsed everything else in your life."
Ah yes. Denial. It isn't as bad as I think it is. I can put off for another day that call, or exercise, or medication, or, or , or…
And we know what it is like to be bullied by our pain, or our symptoms that insist we attend to them. But still we put off what we know we can do in our own best interest.
Many people who see me want to figure out why they put off their own best interest.
I think that Caldwell is right – it is a primitive instinct for survival – and we do not need to understand it, as much as we need to override the denial.
Much easier to say than do, but take a moment and reflect.
What are you putting off right now? What piece of your story are you denying or coping with, adapting to and downplaying? Where might you ask for – and insist on – some help? What is your body saying to you that you may be trying to ignore?
There is an old story of a frog and a pot of boiling water. If you drop the frog right into the steaming water, it will jump right out. The intensity of the heat and the pain make the effort to get out non-negotiable.
If however, you put the frog in a pot of warm water on a stove and gradually turn up the heat, the frog will not jump out. It will keep adapting and adjusting until it boils to death.
That's the kind of adjustment that I see many of my clients making. Not that they are boiling of course! But they keep trying so hard to "make it work" and not taking the first step out into potential new avenues for healing and relief.
So today, I encourage you to notice one thing about your body or life that you are "putting up with " and tolerating. Make an effort to feel what you might be suppressing or denying and determine to take whatever the smallest step you can towards an opening, towards a possibility.
Let me know what you discover!

Ma nishtana halaylah hazeh mekol halailot? — Why is this night different from all other nights?" This question, asked at virtually every Passover seder the world over, has four traditional answers. However, one could suggest a fifth answer: "On all other nights we are not required to drink more than one cup of wine, but tonight we must drink four cups."
So, not surprisingly, for those who work in the kosher wine trade, the lead-up to Passover is the busy season. Indeed, during this month between Purim and Passover a large percentage of this year's crop of new kosher wines will be introduced to the market, and many wine merchants will sell more kosher wine during these four weeks than they will sell in all of the other 48 weeks of the year combined.
For those of us who write about kosher wine, this is the time of year when we get bombarded with that all too common question: "What wine should I serve at my seder?" It's not an easy question to answer.
Selecting the appropriate wines for a seder poses some unique challenges that go far beyond trying to determine which wine will best compliment parsley dipped in saltwater. Indeed, there are many differing customs and halachic rulings regarding the four cups of wine served at the seder. There are those who will only drink red wine, while others will only drink "non-mevushal" (i.e., unpasteurized) wine, and then there are those who will only drink low-alcohol wines. Some have the custom of gulping down each cup rapidly while reclining, while others will slowly sip each cup while sitting upright. Mindful of all of these considerations, what follows is just a bit of gentle advice for selecting your seder wines.
My first piece of advice is to avoid really expensive wines. Whether you gulp or sip wine at the seder, there is likely to be far too much going on at your table for you to be able to take the time to appreciate all of the nuances of a complex, full-bodied wine. Not to mention that after one has imbibed a few glasses of wine, it is not uncommon for the alcohol in the wine to begin numbing the taste buds, making it difficult to fully appreciate any wine. For my own seders, I generally try to select moderately priced wines that are well balanced, easy to drink, and not overly complex.
It also a good idea to query your seder guests in advance as to their own wine preferences. Invariably, at every seder there will be guests who prefer sweet wines to dry, and vice versa. It's also not uncommon for there to be some guests who will only drink red wines or some who will only drink white. Try to keep these preferences in mind when you set out to purchase wine for your seder.
For the first cup, I generally recommend serving a light-bodied wine. You have a long evening ahead of you, and you don't want to fatigue yourself by starting out with a heavy, full-bodied wine. For those who like dry white wines, a nice Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, or dry Riesling, would all be good choices. For those who like their whites a bit on the sweeter side, consider a semi-dry Riesling or Gewürztraminer, or perhaps a Moscato d'Asti. For those who prefer dry red wines, consider one of the lighter-bodied Israeli Pinot Noirs or Barberas, an Italian Sangiovese or Montepulciano, or a French Beaujolais served slightly chilled. Those seeking a sweet red wine should consider an Italian Malvasia.
At many seders the wines served for the second and third cups are also the wines that are served with the meal. If this will be the case at your seder, you should really consider your food when selecting these wines. In the most general terms, you should still probably avoid really big, full-bodied wines, but you may want to try some more medium-bodied wines. Those drinking dry whites might want to consider Californian Chardonnays, and Israeli or New Zealand Viogniers. Those drinking dry reds, should consider Israeli Syrahs, Californian Zinfandels, and Italian Chiantis. Sweet white wine drinkers may want to try a Vouvray, and sweet red drinkers should consider a Muscat Hamburg (also known as Black Muscat).
Regarding the fourth cup, assuming one's stomach is still up for it, my advice is to serve a rich, sweet, full-bodied wine. Even those who regularly eschew sweet wines may want consider making an exception for this final cup of the seder. The seder is essentially a ceremonial celebration of freedom, and I know of no better way to leave that celebration than with a sweet taste lingering in one's mouth. For sweet white wines, try late harvest wines from California, ice wines from Israel and Austria, and Tokajis from Hungry. Those who would prefer a sweet red should consider trying a true Portuguese Port wine.
In addition to wine, it is also a good idea to have some grape juice on hand for the seder. Keep in mind that four glasses of table wine has roughly the same amount of alcohol as a third of a bottle of whiskey. So if at some point in the evening one's stomach or head cannot handle more wine, there is no shame in switching to grape juice.
My final piece of advice, and the most important, is that you should make sure that you only drink wines that you enjoy at your seder. So if the only wine you really like is Manischewitz Extra Heavy Malaga, ignore all of the preceding recommendations, and go out and buy a few bottles of the stuff.
And so, after all this advice, what wines will I be serving at my own seders? Below is my list for the first night of Passover. Please keep in mind that this is an idiosyncratic list based on my own customs, preferences, bill of fare, and most importantly, what I happen to have in my cellar at the moment.
I wish you all a very happy and healthy Passover.

EA sported up a free version of battlefield, with art style resembling that of team fortress 2. The game is featured in third person and weapons can be bought as you gain more money and abilities can be gained as you level up.
Fun as hell.
