Despite all the fuss about wolves and other wild
predators, feral and free-roaming dogs in the West may actually
pose a greater danger to livestock, wildlife and people.
Feral pigs are invading New Mexico and other Western states, but biologists are working hard to stop them.
Urban communities on Colorado's Front Range are trying to cope with an influx of coyotes.
Feeding wild bears just encourages them to misbehave, ultimately endangering the bears' own lives.

WASHINGTON Rep. Kerry Bentivolio, a freshman Republican from Michigan, has a legislative dream. It is not to balance the federal budget, or find a way to help his ailing state or even take away money from the federal health care program, a goal that has so animated many other Republicans this summer.
Rather, Bentivolio told constituents, it is to put in motion the impeachment of President Barack Obama.
"If I could write that bill and submit it, it would be a dream come true," he said this month.
Bentivolio may be lacking in his understanding of the technical details of the impeachment process he has retained experts and historians to help him with that, he said but he is hardly the only one with this desire.
While many members of Congress have used their August break to engage in conversations about immigration policy, the federal budget and the impending implementation of the Affordable Care Act, some Republicans have taken the opportunity to raise the specter of if not quite the grounds for presidential impeachment.
At least two other House Republicans told voters this month that the impeachment process could happen. And last week, Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., who has called himself a friend of the president, told constituents that the nation was "perilously close" to an impeachment situation.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, lamented to one voter who asked about the prospect of impeachment that the Senate, controlled by Democrats, would probably not yield the needed votes for conviction.
There is also a grass-roots movement in which citizens across the nation have been hanging signs on overpasses that call for impeachment.
The lawmakers have not laid out any specific charges of high crimes and misdemeanors against Obama, though the health care law and IRS scrutiny of applications by conservative groups for nonprofit status seem to be motivating factors.
Some were also sketchy on the details of how exactly to proceed with a course that Republicans also pursued against the last Democratic president, Bill Clinton.
But the movement, somewhat like the one questioning Obama's birth certificate, appears to be a lighted match. (There is a new instruction manual, "Impeachable Offenses: The Case for Removing Barack Obama from Office" by WABC radio host Aaron Klein and blogger Brenda J. Elliott, that the authors plan to distribute to lawmakers.)
Obama's supporters seem something short of terrified.
"I think there are a lot of challenges ahead," said David Axelrod, a longtime adviser to Obama. "But impeachment is not one of them." He added: "The bottom line is that it would be enormously self-destructive for the Republicans to waste time on what is a plainly empty expression of primal, partisan rage."
Nor does such an undertaking interest the long-suffering speaker of the House, John Boehner, who aides said would countenance no such effort.
"Republicans are going to keep our focus on creating jobs, cutting wasteful spending and repealing Obamacare," said Kevin Smith, a spokesman for Boehner, potentially dashing the dreams of Bentivolio and others who yearn to present the House impeachment case to the Senate.
Coburn's remarks were particularly notable because the senator, while an outspoken iconoclast on fiscal issues who has pushed back against his own party on myriad issues, including taxes, has remained circumspect about Obama.
According to news reports, Coburn said at a town-hall-style meeting: "What you have to do is you have to establish the criteria that would qualify for proceedings against the president. And that's called impeachment."
Representatives for Coburn did not respond to emails Friday. Neither did a spokesman for Bentivolio, nor the spokeswoman for Rep. Blake Farenthold of Texas, who told constituents this month that the House "had the votes" to impeach the president.
Republicans would most likely tread carefully into territory that burned them politically in the past.
"I do think that sufficient questions have been raised about the legalities of several things this administration has engaged in," said former Rep. Bob Barr of Georgia, who was a House manager during Clinton's impeachment process and is running for Congress again.
Barr cited the postponement of the employer mandate in the health care law, "improper use of the Patriot Act" and actions on immigration as some of these potential illegalities.
"I am not saying these are impeachable acts," he said, "but they raise sufficient questions."
Cruz suggested in an email that impeachment might not be the best course of action for Republicans.
"The media's focus on impeachment is interesting," he said. "But our best approach is to use those tools provided by the Constitution to rein in the executive, starting with the national effort to defund Obamacare."
When President George W. Bush was in office, many liberal groups and some Democrats clamored for impeachment proceedings, largely over the Iraq War. But the House speaker at the time, Nancy Pelosi, never entertained the idea.
The issue, though, can be just the sort of red meat that constituents throw on the town hall grill when meeting with members, especially in the most conservative congressional districts.
Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina, a conservative former prosecutor, acknowledges that voters raise the issue with him, which he said he deflects with, "Have you met Joe Biden?"
The exchange usually ends with laughter.

The federal government should be less involved in the housing crisis, according to all four Republican presidential candidates.
During a at the Monday night, each candidate said that before the housing bubble burst, owning a home in the United States was too easy.
According to CNBC, Florida is the sixth in the nation in housing foreclosures. One in every 396 households is in foreclosure.
"You have to get government out of the mess," said Mitt Romney.
The housing market isn't going to improve unless the employment rate improves, Romney said. The way to help those facing foreclosure is to help the economy.
Later in the debate, Romney said President Barack Obama doesn't understand how to improve the economy.
Ron Paul said interest rates were kept too low for too long, and the bubble was easily seen ahead of time.
"We need to get out of the way," he said of government, adding that housing debt has to be liquidated.
Newt Gingrich said the government should repeal the Dodd-Frank Act, which was passed in 2010 and reformed financial regulations in the United States.
Rick Santorum said that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have done more harm than good. He said banks should be allowed to realize their losses.
"Let capitalism work," he said.
Santorum also talked about a plan he has to let homeowners deduct their losses from the sale of their homes. He said the plan would allow people the freedom to get out from underneath the mortgage debt of homes that have lost their value.

A blogger's note to newspapers
A Quick Note For Local Newspaper Publishers
Here's a point you might consider if you want to remain relevant to my information needs. If an article wasn't written by one of your reporters it has no business on your paper's front page. I can get wire stories from just about anywhere; what will set you apart and keep my attention is the local news (and local angles on national or international stories) that only reporters who know our community can provide.
I have no issue if you want to waste space with wire story "filler", mind you, but the bread and butter of your operation has to be relevant to my day-to-day life here in the Bluegrass.
From Doug Petch.

Herald-Banner Staff
Most days, Dr. Graham Sweeney is involved in academic matters, as superintendent of the Boles Independent School District.
Granted, the pursuit of education excellence can be a tiring exercise in itself. But Sweeney recently found himself engaging in a more athletic endeavor, as he got just a taste of what it would be like to go through a Marine Corps boot camp.
"It was a lot tougher than I thought it would be," Sweeney said of the experience. "It was hard."
Sweeney was chosen to attend the 2012 Educators' Workshop with the United States Marine Corps Recruiting Station Dallas. The event was conducted July 9-13 at the Marine Corps Recruiting Depot in San Diego.
"This is a highly sought after opportunity and available spots are very limited," said the congratulatory letter sent by Major Karl Tinson, the USMC commanding officer with Recruiting Station Dallas.
Whereas a typical Marine Corps basic training lasts 12 grueling weeks, Sweeney and the others invited to San Diego spent a far less strenuous four days in the camp, and returned to the "harsh" confines of their hotels at night.
The visit included tours of the facility, briefings with the officers on duty, lunches with the actual recruits on the base and observations of recruit training.
During the week, Sweeney and the others received instructions in the history of the Marine Corps, the meaning behind the various symbols used by the corps and also learned how to use some of the "Leatherneck Lingo." For instance, Sweeney now knows how to climb a ladderwell, proceed through a hatch, to secure his belongings in his footlocker, to tidy up any Irish Pennants, to discern the difference between a grunt and the CMC and how to respond when one of his superiors in the chain of command tells him "carry on" or remain "as you were."
Perhaps the most harrowing part of the experience came on the third day when the group stopped at Camp Pendleton. That morning they participated in weapons field training and took part in a live fire demonstration with the Range Gunner.
Sweeney had a vivid recollection about his "very mean" drill instructor.
"He taught me all about saying 'yes sir,' 'no sir' 50 times in one minute flat," said Sweeney.
By the end of the week, though, Sweeney and the Marine Corps personnel at the camp were shaking hands and trading smiles.
This wasn't Sweeney's first brief exposure to life in the military.
In November 2010, Sweeney received an education at sea when he was invited to spend a night aboard an aircraft carrier. Sweeney was chosen to participate in the Naval Forces Distinguished Visitor Program and was invited aboard the USS Ronald Reagan.
So, presumably, Sweeney may already be thinking about pursuing experiences with the Army, Air Force or even the Coast Guard, because he treasured his time with the Marines.
"It was amazing, just incredible," Sweeney said. "I loved every minute of it."

The HARP 3.0 bill, slowly making its way through Congress, could help at least 13 million households refinance, save them an average $3,000 a year and help them avoid foreclosure, all while giving the economy a real shot in the arm.
Research from Manhattan's Columbia Business School at Columbia University, found that Senate Bill 3085, introduced by U.S. Senators Robert Menendez (D-NJ) and Barbara Boxer (D-CA), would expand and streamline refinancing opportunities under the existing Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) and produce homeowner savings of at least $35 billion a year.
Columbia's study includes a state-by-state breakdown of the savings.
Also see: "The HARP Archive" on DeadlineNews.Com for the latest HARP news.
Homeowners who can refinance now can cash in on record low mortgage rates, cut their monthly mortgage payment and ease their financial burden. Unfortunately, many homeowners don't qualify for special government refinance programs, and the open mortgage market is a jungle.
Introduced in May, SB 3085 has been making it's way through the Senate's Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs and its essence has the support of President Obama.
The current HARP, improved from the original, has the potential to reach only an estimated five million homeowners, saving them only $16 billion a year.
Among other restrictions, HARP refinances are currently open only to families who are current on their Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac mortgage and who have a loan-to-value ratio higher than 80 percent.
Under the proposed Senate bill, eligibility would be extended to Fannie and Freddie borrowers regardless of how much they owe on their home and it would extend the period of eligibility to loans made on or before May 31, 2010, instead of the current May 31, 2009 cutoff.
Obama, under the supportive "The President's Refinance Plan," wants the legislation to do even more – give those who don't have Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac loans the option to refinance through the Federal House Administration.
That potentially would thrust more mortgages (totaling as many as 21.5 million) into the refinance market and generate competition – perhaps cheaper costs, according to an analysis of the academic study by the Center for Responsible Lending (CRL).
In doing so, HARP 3.0 would not only benefit homeowners, but also the mortgage industry and the economy. Expanding refinances that lower payments would also reduce the number of future defaults on Fannie – and Freddie-backed loans, which will benefit taxpayers who ultimately pay for bad loans.
CRL says the current refinancing barrier is of particular concern for African-American and Hispanic families. Among homeowners current as of February 2011 on a mortgage originated between 2004 and 2008, a larger percentage of African Americans and Hispanics were making payments on a high-interest mortgage than were non-Hispanic white borrowers.

One mom's need to have her daughter do something productive during summer vacation has turned into an annual fundraiser – from her garage.
Kendall Ohrwashel said her mother didn't want her sitting around sun bathing and asking to go to the beach for the three months school was out. It was the summer after seventh grade in 2007 when Kendall and Monique Ohrwashel (a.k.a Mom) came up with the idea of a book sale to raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
The idea came out of personal experience. When Kendall was in fourth grade, she came down with rheumatic fever and stayed at St. Christopher's Hospital for Children in Philadelphia. The illness was caused by an undiagnosed strep infection, the girl's mother explained.
"It wasn't much fun," Kendall replied.
Since she knows what it is like to have an extended hospital stay, Kendall made fundraising for children and the Make-A-Wish Foundation her mission.
"I wanted to put a smile on their face, even if it's just for the time being," Kendall said.
"Whiz Kid" facts:
- Name: Kendall Ohrwashel
- School: 11th grader at
- Activities: National Honor Society, yearbook, Make-A-Wish Spirit Link Chain Fundraiser, John Hopkins Center for the Talented Youth
- Sports: NAHS swim team
- Community Service: Make-A-Wish Foundation
"Whiz Kid" Accomplishments:
- Honors: High Honor and honor roll
- Awards: Wish Maker Award from the Make-A-Wish Foundation; Who's Who Among Outstanding students in America; Kiwanis Club Award; President's Volunteer Service Award; Build-A-Bear Huggable Heroes Semi-Finalist; and the Prudential Spirit of Community Award finalist in 2008, local award recipient in 2009, and state-level distinguished finalist in 2010 (presented to her by Sen. Lisa Boscola and State Rep. Joe Emrick).
Kendall's Key to Awesomeness:
"It makes me feel really happy that we are putting a smile on the wish child's face," Kendall said, "and also that a lot of other people are being affected and inspired by it as well."
The average wish costs about $3,400 per family, according to Kendall. The Ohrwashel's have raised more than $12,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Greater Pennsylvania, Pottsville Regional Office over the last four years.
And by "Ohrwashel's," we not only mean Kendall and her mom, but also Cameron, Kendall's little brother.
When Cameron became a seventh grader at , he decided he wanted to be more than just a helper. He wanted to be a doer in his own rite, so he created the Make-A-Wish Club at NAMS.
This summer, the siblings are raising money for a 4-year-old girl named Abby in Bethlehem. She has leukemia and Down's Syndrome. They hope to be able to send Abby and her family on a trip to Disney World, Kendall said.
The trips, according to Monique, help families reconnect and forget about the illness for a little while. Many people think that Make-A-Wish is for terminally ill children, but 80 percent of the children grow to lead full lives, she said.
"I learned that making a difference really gets you emotionally," Cameron said. "You get to learn a lot about other families and sicknesses."
"Whiz Kid" facts:
- Name: Cameron Ohrwashel
- School: 8th grader at Nazareth Area Middle School
- Activities: Talon Club, concert band, Best Buddies Club, president of the Make-A-Wish Club, leadership committee
- Sports: NAMS soccer team, community basketball
- Community Service: Make-A-Wish Foundation
"Whiz Kid" Accomplishments:
- Honors: Honor roll
- Awards: Wish Maker Award from the Make-A-Wish Foundation; Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Silver-Level Award
Cameron's Key to Awesomeness:
On May 27, Cameron will take his family's fundraising to whole new level -- with the assistance of a few hundred whistlers.
He is coordinating the Nazareth Area Middle School Whistling World Record Attempt. He hopes to break the Guinness World Record for the largest number of people whistling simultaneously at one venue. The current record is 329 people, but Cameron thinks there are enough kids in his school to break that record easily.
In addition to getting the middle school and school district to approve the event, Monique explained that Cameron had to ask officials from the community to agree to witness the record-breaking attempt. One of the witnesses will be Alan Siegfried, the Upper Nazareth Township chief of police, among others.
"We needed witnesses from the community, so Guinness wouldn't have to fly out here from London," Monique said.
The start time for the event will be 1 p.m., according to the event flier. Students will begin arriving around 12:30 p.m. at Andrew S. Leh Stadium at NAHS. If it rains, the event will take place inside the NAMS gym.
Since the event occurs the Friday before Memorial Day, the students will whistle "America the Beautiful," "God Bless America" and "Yankee Doodle" in honor of area veterans.
The will take place from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., June 23 and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., June 24 and 25 at 143 First St., Upper Nazareth Township.
Book donations for the sale can be left at the address listed above. Questions can be sent to Monique at email@example.com.

Continental breakfast would be nice, as it seems standard these days...but other that it was greatRight beside dunkin donuts (with a discount for hotel guests) and access to the highway, about 5 minutes to the shopping areas. This hotel is also Really close to the airport for travelers. Had a great stay and will stay again!

I like that the hotel had planned for Black Friday shoppers and had wrapping paper set out for the visitors.
There was a small dog staying in the hotel and it barked non-stop. The window in our room had leaked from the rain and the carpet was wet 5 feet from the window. We were only staying one night so we didn't bother moving rooms. The eggs were wet.The hotel was fine. I like the hotel because I know what to expect when staying. The hotel staff was very friendly during our recent stay. If they were upset that they had to work the Thanksgiving hotel, it didn't show.

Same thing on the 'buffet' breakfast every morning. Would be nice to switch up the meats, maybe throw out some tortillas or biscuits. No 'kid' cereal any of the mornings we were there, only Corn Flakes & Raisin Bran. No hot tub.Sheets had nasty looking stains on them in the middle. We stayed for 4 days and they locked our key cards on day 2.

OKLAHOMA CITY — It was a clean sweep for Norman North, and it wasn't close.
The Timberwolves took the top spot on both the girls' and boys' side of the Mid-State Conference swim meet Saturday at Oklahoma City Community College. The girls won the event by more than 100 points, defeating second-place Edmond Memorial 534.50 to 389.50, and the boys cruised to a 28-point victory over Memorial. NHS finished third on both sides, losing by just 9.5 points to Memorial on the boys side.
It wasn't an unexpected result, but it was still rewarding for the T-Wolves, who will be state-title contenders when they travel to Jenks in two weeks for the state meet. North won 13 events at the conference meet, including the girls' 50-yard freestyle, where freshman Madie Sarantakos won the event in her first major final. Her time of 25.25 was a personal best and nearly a full second better than the runner-up. She also won the 100-yard butterfly.
"High school swimming is way different than club swimming," she said. "It's more stressful, and you have schoolwork and everything to keep up on, but my teammates have all helped me through. I'm excited to have done so well today and I'm ready to see what I can do at state."
Sarantakos wasn't the only one to have a big day. North sophomore Justin Wu bettered the conference record he set yesterday by recording a 139.92, taking nearly two seconds off his one-day old record. Coach Kent Nicholson said North's Alex Zhu, who swam his fastest time in the 200 medley relay, had an exceptional day.
"We had our best time by quite a bit today, and we want to go after the state record next," he said after the race. "This was a really good sign today that we have a chance to get it in two weeks."

Men's golf opens five-shot lead in defense of All-American title
Bulle's 8-under leads tournamentFebruary 23, 2009 · Athletic Communications
Kent Bulle is 8-under and leads the field through two rounds at The All-American Golf Classic in Spring, Texas. (MT)
The Blue Raiders are five shots ahead of second-place Louisiana-Lafayette (582) and seven shots up on Southeastern Louisiana entering Tuesday's final round at the Tradition Course at Cypresswood. Sophomore Kent Bulle led Middle Tennessee's strong surge and leads the tournament by seven shots with an 8-under 136 with two solid rounds. He followed his 5-under 67 in the opening round with a 3-under 69 in the second and has posted three straight rounds of 69 or better this spring.
You can't find your way to the top of the leader board with one solid player in the lineup, though, and the Blue Raiders had several players turn in strong efforts in Texas. Four Blue Raiders are amongst the field's top 20 players, led by Bulle. Rick Cochran is tied for fifth with a 2-over 145, followed by Craig Smith (T15th, 5-over 148), Brad Simons (T19, 6-over 149) and Chas Narramore (T36, 9-over 152), who battled through illness to fight his way through 36 holes.
"It's nice to be going into the final round with the lead but it was just one good day. We still have to finish," Middle Tennessee Head Coach Whit Turnbow said. "Our guys are familiar with playing with the lead so I would expect them to do well."
Bulle's first round effort is a big reason the Blue Raiders grabbed the first-round lead and eventually built on it in the second. The junior from Glasgow, Ky., was the bright spot in the first round as he was the only Blue Raider to break par with his 5-under 67 - tied for the 13th-best round in program history. That effort enabled Middle Tennessee to finish the first round tied with CSU-Northridge with a 6-over 294 and hold a slim two-shot lead over North Texas.
Bulle remained solid in the second round, posting a 3-under 69 but his teammates were equally impressive. Cochran and Simons were 1-under and Craig Smith was even in the second round as the Blue Raiders shot 5-under as a team.
"Kent kept us in it in the first round and then they all came back and put together a good second round and that allowed us to take the lead," Turnbow said. "Kent was solid from tee to green today. Everything he did was on."
The Blue Raiders won the All-American Golf Classic last season and proceeded to reel off four consecutive tournament titles. They will go for their first team title Tuesday.

The Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre has reignited an issue that has been hotly debated in the US for many years. It is the issue of how to impose meaningful regulations on ownership of the millions of firearms circulating in America without completely undoing the Second Amendment to the Constitution and the premise for which it was ratified.
Most Americans will agree that our Constitution is one of the most sacred and treasured documents in our possession. It is the foundation of our laws and the basis for our freedom. It was written by those who understood the need for a balance between the needs of the government and the rights of the people. This is the reason the Bill of Rights was written. Within it are our safeguards against the prospect of a rogue government taking over and subjugating our people to tyranny and enslavement.
The framers of the Constitution wisely included the means for citizens to defend themselves in the event that such a thing was ever attempted. Thus came the Second Amendment, giving private citizens the right to keep and bear arms. Since then, this has been the cornerstone and rallying cry for every proponent of gun rights.
However, just as with many other things in the world that were created for noble purposes, it appears our beloved Second Amendment could be beginning to have its principle warped. The big question today is, who is doing the most damage to the purpose it was intended for? Is it the gun-rights proponents or the gun-control activists?
Gun-rights proponents say that American citizens have the right to protect their property and their person from any threat that may present itself. They also believe that every law-abiding citizen should have the right to purchase and own a firearm if they so desire. Also among those who subscribe to this belief are citizens who feel that if only the government has guns, it would be tantamount to living in a police state. They also correctly point out that it is not the weapon that commits these heinous acts, it is the person who wields it. Some of these Americans already believe that we are heading toward a time when gun ownership for private citizens will be outlawed.
While many of these views seem to be consistent with the apparent purpose of the Second Amendment, it brings up perhaps some of the most important questions of all—where does the Second Amendment end and public safety begin? Does the Second Amendment allow for the ownership of high-powered, high-capacity military-grade weapons? Does it allow for any type of ammunition, regardless of caliber or its capacity to injure or kill, to be available to the general public? Who decides which citizens are responsible enough to own these types of weapons and how would this be enforced?
Gun-control proponents, however, hold a much different view of the landscape than that of the gun-rights people. Many in favor of gun control believe guns should be completely outlawed. Others say that specific weapons and ammunition should be outlawed. The gun-control camp points out some equally convincing reasons to support their stance, one of which is the undeniable and unarguable fact that some of the most horrible and deadly losses of human life are not caused by natural disasters or accidents but by mass shootings. Besides the 9/11 attacks and other acts of terror in the US that produced mass casualties, there are no other acts of domestic terror that have collectively caused more deaths in America than mass shootings.
As a journalist I understand the need for detachment when writing stories. However, this time I am speaking simply as a father and an American. As an American I realize the importance of preserving our Constitution and the rights provided within it. But as a father I realize that there is a responsibility to protect our people, especially the most vulnerable ones of all—our children. I am still haunted by the looks on the faces of the children who survived the terrible ordeal, some of whom I am fairly certain may have directly witnessed the horrible event.
I think about the parents like me who have lost their most precious treasures in the world. I can feel their pain and anguish as well. I think about the families of the adults whose lives were taken, simply because they were going about their life's work. I think about the horrible emotional scars that have been inflicted upon all those involved in this tragedy.
And what of the surviving children? These who have been exposed to a level of violence most of us have never seen and hopefully never will. There are those who are asking the question of why this had to happen, who are trying to struggle and cope with the unspeakable violence that has been visited upon the most innocent ones of us all.
As I write this, my heart aches for those who have lost their loved ones to this senseless act. I, like many people right now, am also struggling to understand the rhyme or reason to why such evil exists in this world today.
Just as in the past when I was faced with something that defied my worldly logic, I seek comfort in the words of the Bible. When I am overcome with pain and outrage, as I am now, the Bible says, "Fret not yourself because of evildoers and do not be envious of the workers of iniquity [for] none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord; so then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's" (Psalms 37:1, Romans 14: 7-8).
It is now very apparent that a meaningful dialogue needs to be opened among lawmakers to address this issue. It should be one free from all the encumbrances of partisanship and above all, free from the influences of lobbyists.
How long will it be before we see a repeat of Sandy Hook? How many more innocents must perish? How many more parents must lose their children and families bereft of their loved ones before our elected officials begin to make an actual effort to fix this without engaging in the normal bickering and posturing?

For over 50 years Farécla Products Limited in the UK have produced world-class surface finishing products for the Automotive and Marine Industrial sectors. A commitment to listen to customers and provide products and systems that produce the best results in the most efficient manner, keeps the process simple, saving the user time and money. A continuing investment in research and development enables the company to provide products of recognized world-wide excellence to more than 100 countries.
The history of the company dates back to 1934 when Mr. Rod Hawkins started his business in North London. During the ensuing years, the company's activities have all related to the automotive trade and have included car repairs, the production of parts for major car manufacturers, the manufacture of car accessories such as seat covers, radiator blinds et, and car dealerships.
1952 was a key year in the company's history - this is when Mr. Hawkins met George Fevrier, a Belgian chemist who had developed some unique formulations for compounds. A deal was subsequently concluded with Monsieur Fevrier for the exclusive world-wide rights and a range of products based on these formulations was developed for the Automotive trade. These were then marketed under the Farécla brand - Farécla being an amalgamation of French words meaning "shining" & "bright".
In 1953 the first Farécla products were launched in the UK and in 1954 Farécla started exporting to Finland, the Netherlands and New Zealand. Since then the company's sales have grown steadily in the UK as well as internationally and today Farécla products are distributed across all 5 continents to more than 100 countries via a network of 52 International Business Partners.
In 2001, the parent company made a strategic decision to withdraw from Car Dealerships to concentrate on the development of the Surface Finishing business. A new management team was appointed, a strategic review was carried out and a new business plan formulated to grow the business over the years ahead. In addition to continuing our on-going investment in research and development to create products of excellence for the automotive trade, the company is now also marketing products to meet the needs of the Marine-Industrial and consumer Car Care sectors.

For much of the early twentieth century, Route 66 was the way most people got to California. After its creation in 1926, it was the way west for migrants escaping the Dust Bowl, hoping to find work in California's fields and factories. After World War II and the beginning of America's new car culture, it carried vacationers who wanted to tour The West, visit a new-fangled attraction called Disneyland or see the Pacific Ocean.
In 1985, it was removed from the United States highway system, replaced by wider, more modern Interstate Highway, but in those six decades it gained a status few strips of asphalt enjoy, passing into the fabric of our culture. It was the backdrop for John Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath, the topic of a song by Bobby Troup and the backdrop for a 1960s television show. Steinbeck called it the Mother Road - and the name stuck.
In California, Route 66 ran from the Arizona border near Needles, through Barstow, across San Bernardino County, into Pasadena and south into Los Angeles, a distance of about 270 miles. Today, drivers making the same journey travel on I-40, I-15 and I-10.
If you've strolled along Route 66 in Williams, Arizona or cruised the neons along Albuquerque's Central Avenue, don't expect to find anything comparable in California. In the east, the Interstate often bypassed towns along the Mother Road, leading them to inevitable decline. Further west, fueled by dreams of growth and funded by state money earmarked for redevelopment, San Bernardino and Los Angeles County's civic leaders all but obliterated the old Route 66 landmarks and today, you'll find Route 66 signs outnumber the sights.
If you'd just like to see a few interesting reminders of earlier days, this is your guide. Get oriented first with a map of Route 66 in California, or just dive right in. This guide is divided into sections:
- State Line, Needles to Barstow
- Needles to Barstow Side Trips
- Barstow
- Barstow and Victorville to Pasadena
- Route 66 in Los Angeles
If you want to focus on exactly where every square inch of asphalt ran and when it ran there, following tortuous routes to drive on as much of it as possible, this guide may not be for you. However, the highway department has conscientiously signposted every possible exit from I-40 that leads to a section of Historic Route 66 and the California Route 66 Preservation Association has a mile-by-mile guide and some nice historic photos to go along with it. And if you want to know all the details of where Route 66 went in Los Angeles County, experts say Scott R. Piotrowski's Finding the End of the Mother Road is the definitive resource.

Alec Torelli Leaves Brunson 10
Doyle Brunson has been working hard to create his ideal team for his online poker room, Doyles Room. The poker pro and his website have been searching for the brightest, young talent to make up their new team. The team was up to five players until one player decided to leave the online poker room.
Alec Torelli was a member of the Brunson 10 until he decided to leave to pursue other ventures. Torelli decided to leave last week and Doyles Room has confirmed the split. A spokesperson for the site commented: "Doyles Room confirmed that they are not renewing their contract with Alec Torelli. The online poker player is moving on to another project."
Doyles Room was hoping to release the names of all ten players on the team very soon, but that will have to be delayed. The remaining four members of the Brunson 10 are: Chris 'moorman1' Moorman, Amit 'amak316' Makhija, Zachary 'CrazyZachary' Clark and Dani 'ansky' Stern. It has been suggested that Torelli left The Brunson 10 to go start a new venture on the Everleaf Network.

Diego Sanchez, the talented but troubled Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lightweight/welterweight, fought just once in 2011 and once in 2012.
Now, he's planning for his first fight in 2013.
"The Dream" revealed on his Twitter account recently that he's awaiting word from UFC Matchmaker Joe Silva on a potential bout against Takanori Gomi:
"Might have a fight lined up for March 2. Just waiting on the man Joe Silva to see if Mr. Fireball Kid takes it? #japan #yesyesyes."
Sanchez vs. Gomi in Japan on free TV?
Yes, please!
Diego has dealt with injury issues for most of the year, struggling through to get back to his prior successes. This after he dropped a close bout against Jake Ellenberger in February, a fight that ultimately led him to make the decision to drop back down to 155-pounds.
Considering how much the landscape in the lightweight division has changed since the last time he was there, it makes sense to give it one more go with a healthy and fresh outlook on his career.
Nothing is official at this time, of course, and it's entirely possible this fight doesn't come to fruition. Here's to hoping that's not the case. We'll be sure to keep you updated either way.
UFC on FUEL TV 8 is scheduled for Sat., March 2, 2012, at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan. No fights have been announced for the card as of this time.

Village hopes for tourism boost from fourth Downton series
6:50am Thursday 29th November 2012 in Witney By Tom Jennings
BAMPTON residents are hoping for another boost to their fledgling tourist trade after news that a fourth series of Downton Abbey is to be made.
Parts of the smash hit period drama are filmed in the West Oxfordshire village and fans of the ITV show visited in coachloads this year.
Businesses hope the tourists will visit again next year and tour companies are planning to expand the number of visits to Bampton.
ITV announced this week another eight episodes are to be filmed in February for screening in the autumn.
There will also be an extended Christmas special.
Alan Clarke, owner of The Horseshoe pub in Bridge Street, said: "It would be great to have them back.
"The village loves being part of Downton Abbey and it creates quite an interest.
"The crew allows people to go up and watch the filming and quite a few people in Bampton were extras in the show this year."
He said businesses in the village had started to see a boost in trade due to the number of Downton tourists visiting Bampton.
He added: "We need to get ourselves more organised next year but we have a nice bit of trade out of it, with the coaches coming into Bampton."
Robin Shuckburgh, chairman of Bampton Community Archive, said: "I think it is reasonable to assume that it will be filmed here next year because the church and Crawley House are major parts of the set-up.
"Last time everyone enjoyed the chance to be extras, and I hope they get the chance to do that again next year."
He added: "The impact from the tourists at the end of last summer was quite substantial and it boosted quite a few of our businesses, which is very good indeed.
"We are expecting it to grow substantially next summer."
He said non-English speaking countries, including Germany, were now beginning to screen Downton Abbey for the first time, creating new fans and new tourists to Bampton.
He said the village was considering putting up signs next year so tourists know where the sets are and where to get food.
Lewis Swan, director of Brit Movie Tours, runs tours to Bampton and the 'Abbey' itself – Highclere Castle, near Newbury.
He said the company was planning to expand next year to include Shilton, near Carterton, and Swinbrook, near Burford, where filming also takes place.
Mr Swan said: "Downton Abbey is more popular than ever.
"In January, when they show the third season in America, all hell will break loose."

Michael Sitvarin, Zoology, "Multiple Predator Effects on the Survival of Pardos Milvana"
2011 Graduate Research Forum Top Oral Presentation
Michael Sitvarin, a Miami University doctoral student in the department of Zoology, received recognition as one of the top Oral Presentations at the 2011 Miami University Graduate Research Forum for his work "Multiple Predator Effects on the Survival of Pardos Milvina." The study investigated the impacts of multiple predators on a single species, specifically local arthropods that co-exist in a food web full of predation. Sitvarin's work resulted in the finding that different combinations of predators result in different overall risk to prey.
The project was completed entirely within Miami University labs with specimens collected at the Ecology Research Center. Under the guidance of faculty advisor Ann Rypstra, Sitvarin constructed terraria in order to develop and monitor various combinations of predators and prey. "Ann provided invaluable assistance for this project" said Sitvarin. "She introduced me to the biology of the organisms I study, helped me develop the ideas behind the project, assisted with experimental design, data analysis, and more."
Sitvarin's interest in predators and predation began at an early age with his eventual achievement of an undergraduate degree in Biology and his current pursuit of a Ph.D. in Zoology at Miami University. "As I got into more literature about the science of predation, I realized the importance of considering multiple predators when trying to understand prey behavior and predator-prey interactions" said Sitvarin. He hopes to continue to develop research into this area, with this project laying the groundwork for the creation of his doctoral dissertation. In this work, he would like to extend investigation into the impact of multiple predators deeper into the food web through decomposition and soil respiration.

Battersea Central Methodist Mission set to be developed into flats
5:30am Wednesday 29th January 2014 in News By Alexandra Rucki, Senior Reporter
Plans are in place to develop part of a methodist church into flats.
Developers IndigoScott want to convert part of Battersea Central Methodist Mission, in York Road, Battersea, into six apartments.
The project has been granted prior approval by Wandsworth Council, but still requires full permission from a planning applications committee.
IndigoScott hope to convert the upper floors of the church West Wing into flats, including an extension at the rear.
The space is not used by the church and considered surplus, although a number of charities sometimes use the space.
The Mission has said the development will not have an impact on any of the charities who rent the space.
A statement said: "The Mission can confirm that this development work will not in any way undermine the tenancy of the charities who rent space in our building and whose contribution to the community we continue to value.
"Indeed the sale of the west wing will release capital which will allow the Mission to improve the facilities it offers to the community, the ministry and the worshipping life of the Methodist Church in Battersea."
Charities Home Start, Destiny Kids Nursery, Sound Minds, Mimosa Women's Group and Paul's Cancer Support Group are all based in the building

Women with BRCA mutations getting diagnosed younger
Women with a BRCA mutation – which increases the risk of breast and ovarian cancer – are getting diagnosed younger than their families members were. Earlier generations of women in the families studied were diagnosed at a median age of 48; for the current generation the median age is 42.
Because there is no reliable early detection or screening test, the Alliance urges women to be aware of the risks and symptoms of ovarian cancer.
