Shaq has 4 rings, 3 of which are with the Lakers. Kobe has 5 (they've both been to the Finals 6 times). So I don't understand your remarks in regards to Kobe achieving titles without him.
Also, when referring to Jordan's squad, it's two, not "to" 3-peat teams. For shame, haha.
NBA ratings have been increasing every year for several years. Lebron is great for ratings and the game regardless of who likes/hates him.
You'll be back together with the NBA by next All-Star game. Nobody can stay away too long.

Well, there are some things you should probably keep to yourself.
Here are 10 of them:
1. Your phone number.
There are creepy, disturbed people on the Internet with ill intentions and bad manners. They are called telemarketers. Don't feed them—especially after midnight. It's sort of like "Gremlins."
2. Pictures of your credit card.
Yes, people actually do this. I know you're proud of your new VISA card branded with the Toronto Maple Leafs logo, but showing it off on Instagram is like asking for identity theft.
3. Pictures of any bodily function.
I know where you think I'm going with this, but I'm not. I'm talking about potty training. This is one instance where "take a picture or it didn't happen" doesn't apply.
4. This video:
5. An invitation for someone to rob you.
Letting the one-sixth of the human population that is on Facebook know you're in Mexico this week while that brand new 60-inch TV you posted about last week is home alone is an invitation for someone to rob you.
6. Vague posts.
"Wondering why …"
Me too. Unfollow.
7. Your password.
This should be at the top of the no-brainer pile. If your password is the name of your cat who has a Facebook account with 1,632 friends, you either need to change your password or the name of your cat.
8. Anything that happened in Vegas.
This is a rule for a reason.
9. Your Klout score, or any other social media statistic.
If you post your Klout score, you're clearly over compensating for something.
This leads to the final thing you should never share on social media:
10. A naked photo.
If you're an A-list celebrity taking nude pictures of yourself with your iPhone for your PR firm to leak to the media, that's fine. Otherwise, not cool.
Do you have any more suggestions? Add them in the comments below.

UPDATE 1-Motorola: Droid sales 'extremely' strong
- Tweet
- Share this
* Droid selling extremely well, despite supply shortages
* Would sell more if not for supply constraints
* Plans up to 4 phones that can do video-conferencing
* Motorola shares up 2 cents at $6.68 on NYSE
CHICAGO, June 9 (Reuters) - Motorola Inc MOT.N is seeing strong demand for its Droid phone at Verizon Wireless despite the popularity of rival HTC Corp's (2498.TW) Droid Incredible, co-Chief Executive Sanjay Jha said on Wednesday.
Jha told reporters after an Executives Club presentation in Chicago that Motorola is suffering from industry wide supply chain constraints similar to those HTC is seeing for its Droid Incredible phone.
Verizon Wireless, a venture of Verizon Communications Inc (VZ.N) and Vodafone Group Plc (VOD.L), said last month it was having a hard time keeping up with supply of the Droid Incredible because of a shortage of screens from Samsung Electronics (005930.KS).
"(Droid) sales are going extremely well. If I could build more I'd sell more," Jha said without discussing which components were in short supply.
Jha said this year's phone line-up would include two to four phones with front facing cameras that could be used for mobile video-conferencing. The comment follows two high-profile introductions of phones with such cameras in the last week.
Apple Inc (AAPL.O) said its next iPhone would have a front-facing camera when it goes on sale June 24.
Sprint Nextel Corp (S.N), the No. 3 US mobile service, starting selling EVO, a high-speed phone with video conferencing capability, on June 4.
Jha said he would support the technology even though he had "never been a great believer" in demand for video conferencing.

Rear brakes worked fine last ride, yesterday started noticing pedal was squishy, first pump almost to the floor, second and third started building pressure, but next time, no pressure till pumped.
Jumped to today, went out to garage, stepped on brake and no pressure, even pumping did not deliver pressure.
There are no leaks, reservoir is full with clean and clear fluid ( with a touch of yellow).
Any ideas??

Usually you just need to bleed the front wheel's right caliper lower bleed valve-it's the one between the two banjo bolts , not the one on top.

Sounds like a leaking pressure switch... this switch is located up front and can be broken from road debris flying up into the front opening. It's a $15 part and about 20 minutes to replace.

This is a known issue with the Vision-your master cylinder is not the issue-bleed the right front center valve & it can't hurt to bleed the rear brake to but wasn't necessasary in my case & others. This is a linked system and as crazy as it sounds bleeding at the front center caliper will take care of the problem.

BytN2it is correct. This was an issue on the 2008 Vision and to a very very small degree on the 2009's. I had the exact same issue on my '08 Vision. If you do a VOG search on breaks you should find at least one thread I started on this subject and I got some good advice from Kevin X on this. Ultimately he recommended replacing the line.....although I cannot remember why or his exact reasoning.
I will do a search and post the link here.
NOT a master cylinder issue.

Here it is....I finally found the thread. Hope this has some information that can help you.
QUALITY over speed. Doing a crappy job fast is worthless, so take pride in your work as so few do these days. If you want to lose respect, then act like your work doesn't matter.
Thank you everyone! I will start with bleeding the front center, if that doesnt work, move on to the more expensive stuff.
I appreciate the help!
Ride safe, Roger

Incoming Iona forward Michael Haynes will be featured on a segment on ESPN's Outside the Lines. Haynes was shot and killed in Chicago over the summer.
Cinque Lee, a 20-year-old Chicago man, has been arrested in the shooting death of Iona's Michael Haynes. Lee was identified by witnesses as the shooter, and had been brought in for questioning Tuesday. He will appear in bond court Thursday.
According to the Chicago Tribune, a 20-year-old man has been taken in for questioning in the shooting death of incoming Iona basketball player Michael Haynes. Haynes' brother was also arrested for threatening several people with a gun on the night of Michael's death. Thankfully he did not shoot anyone that night in retaliation. More updates as we hear them on this.
Yahoo's Dagger blog adds more reaction to the shooting death of Michael Haynes that took place Thursday night. Haynes was recruited out of a junior college event in Las Vegas (the new amateur basketball capital of the world it seems). From coach Tim Cluess in the Yahoo piece: "He was one of those kids you wanted to coach because he was a different personality," Cluess said. "He wanted better in his life, and it wasn't just about basketball. He wanted to be mentored, he wanted someone who was going to care about him and he wanted to be in a family atmosphere."
The Iona athletic department has issued a statement in response to the shooting death of incoming forward Michael Haynes. Haynes was shot dead Thursday night in the continuing violence that plagues the Chicago South Side. Coach Tim Cluess had this to say: "The Iona family is devastated with the news on Michael's passing," he said. "His passion, energy and excitement for his opportunity this year makes this tragedy even more upsetting. Our sincere condolences, thoughts and prayers are with his family."

The return of Mohammed ElBaradei,the former head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), to Egypt has created political controversy centred around the likelihood of his running as a presidential candidate next year.
But it also gave the Egyptian people something they have not felt in a long time - hope for political change.
Years of stagnant social development have created two main political camps in Egypt today: A camp that lost hope in change, and hence in a better future for the country, and another that still retains a glimmer of optimism.
The first camp is dominant; just ask any Egyptian these days about current conditions and you will only hear complaints and cynicism.
Arguably, the whole Egyptian psyche revolves around the glories of past - sometimes ancient - achievements. They lament how they have lost their prestige and regional power, and how current socio-economic circumstances are crushing their dreams for a better future.
Some prominent Egyptian sociologists, such as Galal Amin, the author of the bestselling Whatever Happened to the Egyptians?, have tried to explain the root causes of Egyptian pessimism.
Amin argues that the forces of domestic political authoritarianism,Egypt's defeat in the 1967 war, the global culture of consumerism, and foreign hegemony have since the 1960s contributed to crushing the Egyptian middle class.
The result was a fractured Egyptian middle class that no longer understood itself or trusted its own ability to lead the country forward.
Fear of fear?
The pessimistic camp has vocalised its prophecies of gloom rather loudly in the plethora of local talk TV shows and the press.
They offer, rather philanthropically, reasons why ElBaradei, and the socio-political movement he has inspired, do not count in today's political structure.
They say the Egyptian regime, which has been in power for 30 years, has successfully resisted all pressures - domestic and foreign - for change and political reform.
Flirting with flights of conspiratorial fancy, they believe that the government only sanctions toothless opposition, and hence may allow ElBaradei to play politics for some time, in a bid to show that Egypt is politically transparent and liberal.
But, at the right moment the regime will strike back and crush ElBaradei and his supporters as it has defeated many prior political opponents.
Four of Egypt's main opposition parties, including al-Wafd, al-Tagammu, and al-Araby al-Nasseri, have criticised ElBaradei and the political movement around him.
They are particularly irked by his readiness to work with and integrate the banned Muslim Brotherhood movement despite his purported secular platform.
They question ElBaradei's legitimacy as a political proponent of any sort citing his absence from the country for three decades; he has no party, no serious grassroots support, or even a possible chance to run for president under the current constitution, they say.
Hope against hope
On the other hand, the campaign built around ElBaradei is nevertheless a poignant reminder that there are many in Egypt, notably among the elite, who retain a semblance of hope that the country will inevitably evolve.
Saad Eddin Ibrahim,a known Egyptian opposition figure who has been living aboard for the last three years fearing prosecution if he returns to Egypt, wrote in the daily independent newspaper AlMasry AlYoum, that ElBaradei's announcement of readiness to run for president if the constitution is amended, has "changed the Egyptian political scene qualitatively and psychologically in an unprecedented way since 1952".
Ibrahim argues that a melange of independent groups, credible political activists and writers, youth, and middle class citizens had for some time been establishing a "social movement" under the political surface in Egypt.
Ibrahim believes the movement declared itself at Cairo Airport by showering the returning ElBaradei with a populist hero's welcome.
ElBaradei returned to Egypt at the right moment to pick the fruits of such mobilisation.
A big lie?
Mahmoud Saad, a popular Egyptian talk show host, was more cautious when broaching the ElBaradei phenomenon.
He wrote in the daily opposition newspaper al-Dostor that "ElBaradei's story is a big lie ... a show ... played by the opposition and directed by the government for its own interest".
He thinks the government is allowing ElBaradei's political movement to gain momentum in order to embarrass critics who claim that Egypt does not possess an equitable democratic system; in truth, he maintains, the government has no intention to increase transparency or hold free election.
Yet, he concludes his article with an emphasis on hope. "Inside the lie," Saad says, "a big and great truth exists ... people have to realise that hope exists ... Egypt has many capable men ... We only need to believe in change."
Analyst Mahmoud Khalil describes in AlMasry AlYoum, how the Egyptian government was able over the years to spread pessimism in the political culture by convincing regular Egyptians that it could do no more to alleviate their duress.
"Over the years, the authority has spread despair and the idea that there is no solution for any problem at any level - education, health services, population increase, traffic, unemployment, corruption ... etc. It has transformed most Egyptians into an army of despair," writes Khalil.
"The power of ElBaradei is in his ideas, which sell hope, a commodity that disappeared from the Egyptian market. Hope means to believe in ourselves and in our ability to bring change."
Why ElBaradei?
Prior to his return to his home country, ElBaradei was one of a very small number of Egyptians who held international stature.
As the head of the UN nuclear agency for 12 years and a winner of the Noble Peace Prize (2005) for his efforts to defuse tensions over Iran's nuclear programme, ElBaradei also earned the government's praise.
In 2006, Hosni Mubarak,the Egyptian president, awarded him the Nile Collar, the country's highest civilian merit.
And during a press conference with Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, in Berlin, Mubarak welcomed ElBaradei's entry into local politics provided he abide by the rules of the constitution.
Despite his detractor's protestations, ElBaradei's 30-year absence from his home country is more to his advantage than detriment. While some may argue that he has been isolated from socio-political developments in the country, his distance has also protected him from being trapped inside Egyptian politics, which have been dominated by stagnant, partisan, and undemocratic parties.
So when ElBaradei now takes on the political system, he can easily rise above Egypt's partisan politics and call for unity among its disputing political groups.
He may lack the charisma of an eloquent speaker such as Barack Obama or Tony Blair, but he speaks in a commanding calm voice that is genuine and emphatic of global democratic values.
ElBaradei wants to modernise Egypt's laws and constitution in ways that will bring them up to date with international standards. He wants transparent elections, democratic rule, freedom of press, and a constitution that does not prevent religious minorities from running for Egypt's highest political office.
His appeal has garnered the support of a wide and diverse coalition of political activists and intellectuals. It has also gained him opponents within the ruling party and political opposition groups alike.
No one seems to underestimate the difficulties lying ahead of ElBaradei and his call for change. But, we should not also underestimate the power behind his appeal.
In just a matter of a few weeks, ElBaradei was able to remind many Egyptians of their deeply rooted love for their country and hope for a better future.

After the success of its debut Wear LACMA range last fall—which featured designs by Gregory Parkinson and Libertine's Johnson Hartig—the Los Angeles County Museum of Art is set to launch round two of the project. This time around, Juan Carlos Obando, NewbarK's Maryam and Marjan Malakpour, and L'Oeil du Vert Fragrances' Haley van Oosten have created limited-edition designs inspired by the museum's permanent collection. NewbarK's designers were drawn to Félix Edouard Vallotton's La Manifestation (1893) because of his use of black and white. "Black-and-white is my personal favorite, and a signature to NewbarK designs," Malakpour told Style.com. The duo (whose Wear LACMA pouches are pictured, above) was also influenced by the exoticism and primitivism in Henri-Charles Guérard's Monkey's Hand (1888). Obando, an L.A. native, pulled inspiration from Willem Danielsz van Tetrode's sculpture Mercury for his bold bronze and gold jewelry, while van Oosten was moved by Antonio Montauti's bronze relief The Triumph of Neptune and Europa. The perfumer created an exclusive new botanical fragrance, TONAE, which, of course, comes in a bronze bottle. "TONAE celebrates our yearning to be transported by divinity—as immortalized by Montauti's Neptune conducting a swirl of coupling sea nymphs," van Oosten said. Wear LACMA is available, starting tomorrow, at LACMA and online at thelacmastore.org

News articles on ocean acidification
Mongabay.com news articles on ocean acidification in blog format. Updated regularly.
Corals thriving despite acidified conditions in remote Pacific bay
(02/25/2014) Scientists have discovered a small island bay in the Pacific which could serve as a peephole into the future of the ocean. Palau's Rock Island Bay harbors a naturally occurring anomaly – its water is acidified as much as scientists expect the entire ocean to be by 2100 as a result of rising carbon dioxide emissions.
Ocean acidifying 10 times faster than anytime in the last 55 million years, putting polar ecosystems at risk
(02/24/2014) An assessment of ocean acidification, presented at the UN Climate Change Conference in Warsaw in November 2013, starkly concluded that acidity is on track to rise 170 percent by the end of this century. As many key species are sensitive to changes in acidity, this would drastically impact ocean ecosystems, with effects especially pronounced in polar regions where the cold waters intensify acidification, and which are home to many organisms that are particularly vulnerable to acidification.
Global warming could upset Antarctic food chain
(01/02/2014) Resting near the bottom of the foodchain, Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) underpin much of the Southern Ocean's ecosystem. But in a rapidly warming world, these hugely-abundant crustaceans could see their habitat shrink considerably. In a recent paper in PLOS ONE, scientists predict that Antarctic krill could lose 20 percent of their growth habitat, or 1.2 million square kilometers.
Governments should respond to ocean acidification 'as urgently as they do to national security threats'
(10/03/2013) The oceans are more acidic now than they have been for at least 300m years, due to carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels, and a mass extinction of key species may already be almost inevitable as a result, leading marine scientists warned on Thursday. An international audit of the health of the oceans has found that overfishing and pollution are also contributing to the crisis, in a deadly combination of destructive forces that are imperiling marine life, on which billions of people depend for their nutrition and livelihood.
Bad feedback: ocean acidification to worsen global warming
(08/28/2013) As if ocean acidification and climate change weren't troubling enough (both of which are caused by still-rising carbon emissions), new research published in Nature finds that ocean acidification will eventually exacerbate global warming, further raising the Earth's temperature.
Google Earth presents fish-eye view of coral reefs
(08/20/2013) You can now visit up-close and personal some of the world's most imperiled ecosystems on Google Earth: coral reefs. The Google team is working with scientists to provide 360 degree panoramas, similar to Google street-view, to give armchair ecologists a chance to experience the most biodiverse ecosystems under the waves.
Ocean acidification pushing young oysters into 'death race'
(06/11/2013) Scientists have long known that ocean acidification is leading to a decline in Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) in the U.S.'s Pacific Northwest region, but a new study in the American Geophysical Union shows exactly how the change is undercutting populations of these economically-important molluscs. Caused by carbon dioxide emissions, ocean acidification changes the very chemistry of marine waters by lowering pH levels; this has a number consequences including decreasing the availability of calcium carbonate, which oysters and other molluscs use to build shells.
Pacific islanders are the 'victims of industrial countries unable to control their carbon dioxide emissions'
(05/15/2013) With islands and atolls scattered across the ocean, the small Pacific island states are among those most exposed to the effects of global warming: increasing acidity and rising sea level, more frequent natural disasters and damage to coral reefs. These micro-states, home to about 10 million people, are already paying for the environmental irresponsibility of the great powers.
Warnings of global ecological tipping points may be overstated
(03/05/2013) There's little evidence that the Earth is nearing a global ecological tipping point, according to a new Trends in Ecology and Evolution paper that is bound to be controversial. The authors argue that despite numerous warnings that the Earth is headed toward an ecological tipping point due to environmental stressors, such as habitat loss or climate change, it's unlikely this will occur anytime soon—at least not on land. The paper comes with a number of caveats, including that a global tipping point could occur in marine ecosystems due to ocean acidification from burning fossil fuels. In addition, regional tipping points, such as the Arctic ice melt or the Amazon rainforest drying out, are still of great concern.
Animals dissolving due to carbon emissions
(12/03/2012) Marine snails, also known as sea butterflies, are dissolving in the Southern Seas due to anthropogenic carbon emissions, according to a new study in Nature GeoScience. Scientists have discovered that the snail's shells are being corroded away as pH levels in the ocean drop due to carbon emissions, a phenomenon known as ocean acidification. The snails in question, Limacina helicina antarctica, play a vital role in the food chain, as prey for plankton, fish, birds, and even whales.
Threatened Galapagos coral may predict the future of reefs worldwide
(11/07/2012) The Galapagos Islands have been famous for a century and a half, but
even Charles Darwin thought the archipelago's list of living wonders
didn't include coral reefs. It took until the 1970s before scientists
realized the islands did in fact have coral, but in 1983, the year the
first major report on Galapagos reef formation was published, they
were almost obliterated by El Niño. This summer, a major coral survey
found that some of the islands' coral communities are showing
promising signs of recovery. Their struggle to survive may tell us
what is in store for the rest of the world, where almost
three-quarters of corals are predicted to suffer long-term damage by
Coral calcification rates fall 44% on Australia's Great Barrier Reef
(09/04/2012) Calcification rates by reef-building coral communities on Australia's Great Barrier Reef have slowed by nearly half over the past 40 years, a sign that the world's coral reefs are facing a grave range of threats, reports a new study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research - Biogeosciences.
Earth's ecosystems still soaking up half of human carbon emissions
(08/06/2012) Even as humans emit ever more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, Earth's ecosystems are still sequestering about half, according to new research in Nature. The study finds that the planet's oceans, forests, and other vegetation have stepped into overdrive to deal with the influx of carbon emitted from burning fossil fuels, but notes that this doesn't come without a price, including the acidification of the oceans.
2,600 scientists: climate change killing the world's coral reefs
(07/10/2012) In an unprecedented show of concern, 2,600 (and rising) of the world's top marine scientists have released a Consensus Statement on Climate Change and Coral Reefs that raises alarm bells about the state of the world's reefs as they are pummeled by rising temperatures and ocean acidification, both caused by greenhouse gas emissions. The statement was released at the 12th International Coral Reef Symposium.
World failing to meet promises on the oceans
(06/14/2012) Despite a slew of past pledges and agreements, the world's governments have made little to no progress on improving management and conservation in the oceans, according to a new paper in Science. The paper is released just as the world leaders are descending on Rio de Janeiro for Rio+20, or the UN Summit on Sustainable Development, where one of the most watched issues is expected to be ocean policy, in part because the summit is expected to make little headway on other global environmental issues such as climate change and deforestation. But the new Science paper warns that past pledges on marine conservation have moved too slowly or stagnated entirely.
Featured video: Google Earth highlights imperiled coral reefs around the world
(04/18/2012) A new video by Google Earth and the World Resources Institute (WRI) highlights the world's many endangered coral reefs. A part of the WRI's Reefs at Risk program, the video highlights regional and global threats to the oceans' most biodiverse ecosystem. According to the WRI, a stunning 75 percent of the world's reefs are currently threatened.
Carbon emissions paving way for mass extinction in oceans
(03/05/2012) Human emissions of carbon dioxide may be acidifying the oceans at a rate not seen in 300 million years, according to new research published in Science. The ground-breaking study, which measures for the first time the rate of current acidification compared with other occurrences going back 300 million years, warns that carbon emissions, unchecked, will likely lead to a mass extinction in the world's oceans. Acidification particularly threatens species dependent on calcium carbonate (a chemical compound that drops as the ocean acidifies) such as coral reefs, marine mollusks, and even some plankton. As these species vanish, thousands of others that depend on them are likely to follow.
Acid oceans: in some regions acidification a 'hundred times greater' than natural variation
(01/24/2012) Emissions of carbon over the last two centuries have raised the acidity of the oceans to the highest levels in 21,000 years and likely beyond, according to a new study in Nature Climate Change. The change threatens a number of marine species, including coral reefs and molluscs.
11 challenges facing 7 billion super-consumers
(10/31/2011) Perhaps the most disconcerting thing about Halloween this year is not the ghouls and goblins taking to the streets, but a baby born somewhere in the world. It's not the baby's or the parent's fault, of course, but this child will become a part of an artificial, but still important, milestone: according to the UN, the Earth's seventh billionth person will be born today. That's seven billion people who require, in the very least, freshwater, food, shelter, medicine, and education. In some parts of the world, they will also have a car, an iPod, a suburban house and yard, pets, computers, a lawn-mower, a microwave, and perhaps a swimming pool. Though rarely addressed directly in policy (and more often than not avoided in polite conversations), the issue of overpopulation is central to environmentally sustainability and human welfare.
Ocean prognosis: mass extinction
(06/20/2011) Multiple and converging human impacts on the world's oceans are putting marine species at risk of a mass extinction not seen for millions of years, according to a panel of oceanic experts. The bleak assessment finds that the world's oceans are in a significantly worse state than has been widely recognized, although past reports of this nature have hardly been uplifting. The panel, organized by the International Program on the State of the Ocean (IPSO), found that overfishing, pollution, and climate change are synergistically pummeling oceanic ecosystems in ways not seen during human history. Still, the scientists believe that there is time to turn things around if society recognizes the need to change.
Ocean acidification dissolves algae, deafens fish
(06/02/2011) As if being a major contributor to global warming wasn't enough, the increasing amount of carbon dioxide produced through human activity is also acidifying our oceans - and doing so more rapidly than at any other time in more than half a million years. New projections show that at current rates of acidification, clownfish and many species of algae may be unable to survive by 2100.
Coral crisis: 75% of the world's coral reefs in danger
(02/23/2011) Marine scientists have been warning for years that coral reefs, the most biodiverse ecosystems in the ocean, are facing grave peril. But a new comprehensive analysis by the World Resources Institute (WRI) along with twenty-five partners ups the ante, finding that 75% of the world's coral reefs are threatened by local and global impacts, including climate change. An updating of a 1996 report, the new analysis found that threats had increased on 30% of the world's reefs. Clearly conservation efforts during the past decade have failed to save reefs on a large-scale.
The ocean crisis: hope in troubled waters, an interview with Carl Safina
(02/07/2011) Being compared—by more than one reviewer—to Henry Thoreau and Rachel Carson would make any nature writer's day. But add in effusive reviews that compare one to a jazz musician, Ernest Hemingway, and Charles Darwin, and you have a sense of the praise heaped on Carl Safina for his newest work, The View from Lazy Point: A Natural Year in an Unnatural World. Like Safina's other books, The View from Lazy Point focuses on the beauty, poetry, and crisis of the world's oceans and its hundreds-of-thousands of unique inhabitants. Taking the reader on a journey around the world—the Arctic, Antarctic, and the tropics—Safina always returns home to take in the view, and write about the wildlife of his home, i.e. Lazy Point, on Long Island. While Safina's newest book addresses the many ways in which the ocean is being degraded, depleted, and ultimately imperiled as a living ecosystem (such as overfishing and climate change) it also tweezes out stories of hope by focusing on how single animals survive, and in turn how nature survives in an increasingly human world. However, what makes Safina's work different than most nature writing is his ability to move seamlessly from contemporary practical problems to the age-old philosophical underpinnings that got us here. By doing so, he points a way forward.
Photos: Scientists race to protect world's most endangered corals
(01/11/2011) As corals around the world disappear at alarming rates, scientists are racing to protect the ones they can. At a workshop led by the Zoological Society of London (ZSL), the world's foremost coral experts met in response to a decade of unprecedented reef destruction to identify and develop conservation plans for the ten most critically endangered coral species.
Beyond gloom: solutions to the global coral reef decline
(11/10/2010) The world's coral reefs are in trouble. Due to a variety of factors—including ocean acidification, warming temperatures from climate change, overfishing, and pollution—coral cover has decline by approximately 125,000 square kilometers in the past 50 or so years. This has caused some marine biologists, like Charlie Veron, Former Chief Scientist of the Australian Institute of Marine Science, to predict that coral reefs will be largely extinguished within a century. This year alone, large-scale coral bleaching events, whereby coral lose their symbiotic protozoa and become prone to disease and mortality, were seen off the coasts of Indonesia, the Philippines, and some Caribbean islands. However a new paper in Trends in Ecology and Evolution attempts to dispel the gloom over coral reefs by pointing to strategies, and even some successes, to save them.
Carbon emissions hurting coral recruitment
(11/08/2010) While research has shown that ocean acidification from rising CO2 levels in the ocean imperils the growth and survival mature coral reefs, a new study has found that it may also negatively impact burgeoning corals, by significantly lowering the success of coral recruitment. A study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) has found that coral recruitment could fall by 73% over the next century due to increasing acidification.
World needs to protect 32 million square kilometers of ocean in two years
(10/20/2010) According to goals set in 2002 by the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the World Summit on Sustainable Development, nations must spend the next two years catching-up on creating ocean reserve. Currently, about 1.17 percent of the ocean is under some form of protection, but the 2002 goal was 10 percent by 2012. That means protecting over 32.5 million square kilometers, of the ocean twice the size of Russia. According to a recent report, Global Ocean Protection by the Nature Conservancy, not only is the world failing on its goals to protect a significant portion of the ocean, it's also failing to protect 10 percent of various marine ecosystems.
Majority of Americans confused on climate change basics
(10/17/2010) Most Americans don't understand the basics of climate change, according to a new poll by researchers with Yale. The poll found that over half of Americans deserve an 'F' on basic understanding of climate science and climate change, while only 1% would receive an 'A'.
Coral reef survival depends on the super small, an interview with Forest Rohwer
(08/30/2010) If you take a teaspoon and dip it into the ocean what will you have? Some drops of lifeless water? Only a few decades ago this is what scientists would have said, however, the development of increasingly powerful microscopes have shown us a world long unknown, which has vital importance for the survival of one of the world's most threatened and most treasured ecosystems: coral reefs. A single milliliter of water is now known to contain at least a million living microbes, i.e. organisms too small to see without a microscope. After discovering their super-abundant presence, researchers are now beginning to uncover how these incredibly tiny life-forms shape the fate of the world's coral reefs.
Backbone of marine food chain in alarming decline
(07/28/2010) Tiny marine algae, known as phytoplankton, are the backbone of the marine food chain, yet a new study in Nature has found that this backbone is disintegrating. Researchers discovered that since 1950 phytoplankton has declined by approximately 40 percent across the Northern Hemisphere, a decline that corresponds to warming waters due to climate change. Given that phytoplankton feed the oceans' abundance all the way up the food chain—from zooplankton to fish to seabird to sharks to humans—the decline has likely impacted the very structure of the ocean.
Coral reefs doomed by climate change
(07/22/2010) The world's coral reefs are in great danger from dual threats of rising temperatures and ocean acidification, Charlie Veron, Former Chief Scientist of the Australian Institute of Marine Science, told scientists attending the Association for Tropical Biology and Conservation meeting in Sanur, Bali. Tracing the geological history of coral reefs over hundreds of millions of years, Veron said reefs lead a boom-and-bust existence, which appears to be correlated with atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. With CO2 emissions rising sharply from human activities, reefs—which are home to perhaps a quarter of marine species and provide critical protection for coastlines—are poised for a 'bust' on a scale unlike anything seen in tens of millions of years.
Amazing reefs: how corals 'hear', an interview with Steve Simpson
(07/21/2010) Corals aggregate to form vast reefs, which are home to numerous species and provide vital ecological services such as protecting shorelines. However, coral reefs are one of the most threatened ecosystems in the world due to many factors, such as global warming and ocean acidification. Recent research by Simpson and his team of scientists has shown that corals, rather than drifting aimlessly after being released by their parent colonies and by chance landing back on reefs, instead find their way purposefully to reefs by detecting the sound of snapping shrimps and grunting fish on the reef. However, that discovery also means that the larvae might struggle to find reefs when human noises, like drilling or boats, mask the natural ocean sounds.
In the midst of marine collapse will we save our last ocean?
(07/05/2010) Imagine an ocean untouched by oil spills: a sea free of pollution, invasive species, dead zones, and over-exploitation; waters where marine animals exist in natural abundance and play ecological roles undimmed by mankind. Such a place may sound impossible in today's largely depleted oceans, but it exists: only discovered in 1841, the Ross Sea spreads over nearly a million kilometers adjacent to the Antarctic continent. Here killer whales, penguins, sea birds, whales, and giant fish all thrive. However, even with its status as the world's 'last ocean', the Ross Sea has not escaped human impact. Over the last 15 years commercial fisheries have begun to catch one of its most important species in the ecosystem to serve them up on the dinner plates of the wealthy.
World failing on every environmental issue: an op-ed for Earth Day
(04/22/2010) The biodiversity crisis, the climate crisis, the deforestation crisis: we are living in an age when environmental issues have moved from regional problems to global ones. A generation or two before ours and one might speak of saving the beauty of Northern California; conserving a single species—say the white rhino—from extinction; or preserving an ecological region like the Amazon. That was a different age. Today we speak of preserving world biodiversity, of saving the 'lungs of the planet', of mitigating global climate change. No longer are humans over-reaching in just one region, but we are overreaching the whole planet, stretching ecological systems to a breaking point. While we are aware of the issues that threaten the well-being of life on this planet, including our own, how are we progressing on solutions?
If protected coral reefs can recover from global warming damage
(01/10/2010) A study in the Caribbean has found that coral reefs can recover from global warming impacts, such as coral bleaching, if protected from fishing. Marine biologists have long been worried that coral reefs affected by climate change may be beyond recovery, however the new study published in PLoS ONE shows that alleviating another threat, overfishing, may allow coral reefs to cope with climate change.
Bottom-dwelling sea animals play surprising role in carbon sequestration
(01/07/2010) Researchers have long known that some marine animals, such as plankton, play big roles in the carbon cycle, but a new study shows that a long-ignored family of marine animals, the bottom-dwelling echinoderms, also do their part in the carbon cycle.
Climate change causing irreversible acidification in world's oceans
(12/15/2009) A new study from the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity has synthesized over 300 reports on ocean acidification caused by climate change. The report finds that increasing acidification will lead to irreversible damage in the world's oceans, creating a less biodiverse marine environment. Released today the report determines that the threat to marine life by ocean acidification must be considered by policymakers at the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen.
Photos: ten beloved species threatened by global warming
(12/14/2009) The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has released a list of ten species that are likely to be among the hardest hit by climate change, including beloved species such as the leatherback sea turtle, the koala, the emperor penguin, the clownfish, and the beluga whale. The timing of the list coincides with the negotiations by world leaders at the UN Climate Change Conference to come up with an international agreement to combat climate change.
Not just the polar bear: ten American species that are feeling the heat from global warming
(12/01/2009) A new report, America's Hottest Species, highlights a variety of American wildlife that are currently threatened by climate change from a small bird to a coral reef to the world's largest marine turtle.
Oceans' ability to sequester carbon diminishing
(11/18/2009) A new study—the first of its kind—has completed an annual accounting of the oceans' intake of carbon over the past 250 years, and the news is troubling. According to the study, published in Nature, the oceans' ability to sequester carbon is struggling to keep-up with mankind's ever-growing emissions. Since 2000 researchers estimate that while every year the oceans continue to sequester more anthropogenic carbon emission, the overall proportion of carbon taken in by the oceans is declining.
Declaration calls for more wilderness protected areas to combat global warming
(11/11/2009) Meeting this week in Merida, Mexico, the 9th World Wilderness Congress (WILD9) has released a declaration that calls for increasing wilderness protections in an effort to mitigate climate change. The declaration, which is signed by a number of influential organizations, argues that wilderness areas—both terrestrial and marine—act as carbon sinks, while preserving biodiversity and vital ecosystem services.
Coral reef troubles indicate broader ecological problems
(11/10/2009) Today, many of our planet's natural areas are seriously threatened by human incursion, overexploitation and global warming: Less than a fifth of the world's original forest cover remains in unfragmented tracts, while just one-third of coastal mangroves survive to protect coastlines from storms and erosion. But none of these are declining as rapidly as coral reefs. By revealing what could be in store for other natural systems, reefs resemble the proverbial canary in a coal mine.
New report predicts dire consequences for every U.S. region from global warming
(06/17/2009) Government officials and scientists released a 196 page report detailing the impact of global warming on the U.S. yesterday. The study, commissioned in 2007 during the Bush Administration, found that every region of the U.S. faces large-scale consequences due to climate change, including higher temperatures, increased droughts, heavier rainfall, more severe weather, water shortages, rising sea levels, ecosystem stresses, loss of biodiversity, and economic impacts.
Starfish may benefit from global warming
(05/25/2009) Climate change is expected to cause widespread disruptions to ecosystems and their resident species. Some creatures will go extinct, others will expand their ranges and thrive. A new study identifies starfish as one of the likely winners from rising ocean temperatures and carbon dioxide concentrations.
Shells thinning due to ocean acidification
(03/13/2009) By soaking up excess CO2 from the atmosphere oceans are undergoing a rise in acidity which is having ramifications across their ecosystems, most frequently highlighted in the plight of coral reefs around the world. However, a new study in Nature Geoscience shows that the acidification is affecting another type of marine life. Foraminifera, a tiny amoeba-like entity numbering in the billions, have experienced a 30 to 35 percent drop in their shell-weight due to the high acidity of the oceans.
Seven new species of deep sea coral discovered
(03/09/2009) In the depths of the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument, which surrounds ten Hawaiian islands, scientists discovered seven new species of bamboo coral. Supported by the National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the discoveries are even more surprising in that six of the seven species may represent entirely new genus of coral.
Nemo at risk from CO2 emissions? Ocean acidification may hurt baby fish
(02/02/2009) Increasing carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere may have an unexpected impact on marine ecosystems: disorienting fish larvae. Research published in this week's issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) found that ocean acidification disrupts the olfactory sense of clownfish larvae, making it difficult for the fish to find a habitat, which for clownfish is a sea anemone.
Fish may help fight ocean acidification
(01/19/2009) Fish are a major source of calcium carbonate production in marine ecosystems, a finding that has implications for ocean acidification, report scientists writing in the journal Science.
Ocean acidification is killing the Great Barrier Reef
(01/01/2009) Since 1990 the growth of coral in Australia's Great Barrier Reef has slowed its lowest rate in at least 400 years as a result of warming waters and ocean acidification, report researchers writing in Science. The finding portends a bleak near-term future for the giant reef ecosystem as well as calcifying marine organisms around the world.
Climate change, ocean acidification may doom jumbo squid
(12/15/2008) Ocean acidification — driven by rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere — may hurt the Humboldt squid, report researchers writing in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Cows naturally produce bovine somatotropin (BST) in their pituitary glands, and traces are secreted by the animals when they are milked. More popularly known as BGH, or bovine growth hormone, BST interacts with other hormones in cows' bodies to control the amount of milk they produce.
In order to increase milk production, scientists working for Monsanto spent years in the lab developing a genetically-engineered synthetic version of the hormone called rBGH, or recombinant bovine growth hormone. Monsanto obtained approval to market rBGH (known by the trade name Posilac) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1993 and began offering it to interested farmers. Today, about a third of American dairy cows are injected with rBGH, which boosts milk production by about 10 percent.
But the use of rBGH is controversial, due to potential health hazards to both cows and humans. According to the Center for Food Safety (and supported by a 2003 study published in the Canadian Journal of Veterinary Research), cows treated with rBGH suffer a 50 percent greater incidence of lameness (leg and hoof problems), 25 percent more udder infections (mastitis), and serious reproductive problems including infertility, cystic ovaries, fetal loss and birth defects.
Such animal health issues can sometimes translate into human ones, as antibiotics used to fight infection can find their way into milk, affecting our disease-resistance. Also, animals given rBGH produce more insulin growth factor-1 (IGF-1). Studies, says the Organic Consumers Association (OCA), have linked high levels of IGF-1 in humans who consume rBGH milk with breast, prostate, colon and other cancers. This suggests that our natural defenses against early cancerous cells may be blocked by IGF-1.
Controversy also surrounds the fact that there are no labeling requirements in the U.S. for rBGH. In February 2007, OCA, along with the Cancer Prevention Coalition and the Family Farm Defenders, filed a joint petition asking the FDA to require cancer risk warning labels on all U.S. milk produced with rBGH. They also asked the FDA to suspend rBGH approval due to "imminent hazard." Analysts doubt the FDA will take the request seriously, despite not knowing what problems with rBGH might arise down the road.
Monsanto maintains that humans digest so little of the hormone that it has no direct effect on our health. The World Health Organization, the FDA and numerous medical associations concur that milk from rBGH treated cows is safe for human consumption. However, many remain wary and, as a result, several nations have banned rBGH, including all 25 European Union nations, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and Canada.
In the U.S., despite lack of federal concern, consumer pressure has led many companies to discontinue the use of rBGH. In January 2007 Safeway announced it would go rBGH-free at both its Portland (OR) and Seattle plants. Others following suit include Starbucks, Ben and Jerry's and Chipotle Mexican Grills.

A group of social adventurers from the Surface Creek area were brought together 10 years ago by Ruth Phillips, who just celebrated her 96th birthday. Over the years, more than 50 seniors have joined the group.
The Senior Hikers meet every week all year long and explore trails from Grand Mesa to Utah.
Spin-off groups from this parent group enjoy ATVing, backpacking, river running, skiing and snowshoeing.
Last week, some of the hikers found gorgeous fall color on Scotland Trail on Grand Mesa.

St. Lawrence County $11 million in the red
Canton, NY, Jul 15, 2010 — The budget crunch in Albany means a bleak financial future for many of the North Country's counties. St. Lawrence County is fighting to close an $11 to 14 million deficit next year. That's 5% of the county's overall budget. County Administrator Karen St. Hillaire has proposed a package of $4 million in cuts. It would avoid most layoffs, but it would still force a 5% property tax increase. If the fiscal picture gets worse, the county may have to cut 30 to 50 jobs. St. Hillaire says most of the deficit comes from the state and federal governments contributing millions less to mandated programs, like Medicaid and the pension fund. She told David Sommerstein the struggling economy makes matters worse.

By Meteorologist Paul Merzlock
Theoretically, extensive Great lakes ice cover, particularly this late in the season, may influence Springtime temperatures in Chicago. Prolonged late-season ice melt delays the warming of lake water. However, a study of lake ice coverage, including data from 1973 to present, suggests there is little or no correlation between the maximum amount of lake ice and average Spring temps. This is simply due to the surface area of the Great lakes being very small compared to large-scale air flow across the continent. The brutal winter of 1976-77 produced 94% ice coverage, but the following Spring turned out to be the warmest on record at the time. Persistent SW flow across the U.S. quickly melted the ice. Temps this Spring are forecast to be below normal, mainly due to a recurring northwesterly jet stream.

PRC Book
The Economics of Pension Insurance
Richard A. Ippolito
This 1989 volume examines the economic rationale for and effects of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC), the US federal agency that insures corporate or private sector defined-benefit pension plans. The author, former chief economist of the PBGC, contends that the institution was initially created as a too-generous insurance provider in that benefits were not correctly priced relative to risk and exposure. The result was a system subject to moral hazard and redistribution between firms with well-funded pensions to those with poorly-financed funds. He explores ways to convert the scheme to a privatized system.

Bali Hindu teaches about Tri Hita Karana
So in here I pictured the three harmonic connection between human and God, human, environment.
I picked hands because we are suppose to be Tri Kaya Parisudha which is Three Holy Attitudes, not to speak, think and act bad.
Think about it, even though you think right and you speak right but in the end you don't act right, it would just be the same. So everything goes down to the hands of the human. If a human thinks of something to develop and speak it and everybody agrees to it and wants to do it yet there's no command from you, then that means your hands are not working.
because in the end of the day, your hands are the ones responsible.

Gavin, news channel 5 carried the latest launch on Tuesday, then I looked out the window and saw it.
Also, don't you have the NASA channel?
Remember, many times launches are scrubbed and also launches happen at all times of the day.
We do need educated young people to run our country in the future, so hopefully your enthusiasm about rockets, NASA, and I assume science in general will continue as you grow up, and you will continue your efforts to soar to "new heights". Please stay in school and work hard to get an education. Partying, dropping out, getting that first car, working part-time to fund your life style as you become distracted and your grades drop happens all to much. Chances are you will be tempted by many things. When you are grown up you will have plenty of time to enjoy life, but these formative years are very important, and if you can apply yourself without too much distraction, you can have a major head start in life and not try to play catchup to those who did not lose their focus.
Pink Floyd says it all;
I'm not a Biblical scholar by any means, but, is not the Old Testament of Jewish origin, before Christ, by proxy not Christian in its writing, and as such the true Christian scriptures are of the loving Jesus/God, who commanded "Whatsoever ye would that men do unto you, do you even so unto them" (Matthew 7:12).
But I do find Leviticus and Deuteronomy a hoot.
To the LTE, what do you want, the President in Washington or on the road?
Make up your mind.
And what's wrong with wanting to go to Florida?
I think its a great place to be.
Seriously srgt., "Any 80 year old grandma can shoot just as good as any cop in town."
I can see it now, "Miss Jones, there's an armed perpetrator threatening to shoot children!".
Hold on dear I need to find my shooting glasses, now just where did I put them? here we go. Now, oh, this gun is so heavy, I knew I should have went with the 22 auto. Now, where was I? Oh yes, my gun, is is time for shooting practice at the range. Oh, this darn Glock 26 is so heavy, and my eyes aren't what they used to be."
"Chris Kyle's accidental death"?
I am not familiar with that, any report I see calls it a double homicide. Explain please.
Check again, comments on all the LTE's concerning the Sgt. Morales shooting have been disabled.
The racial undertones are not obvious?
Paranoia, I guess I read to many LTE's on this Red Neckerson site.
by(sic). check that, be.
I see they published Tom March's letter then disabled the comments. Hmmm...
Steve, there have been 10 LEO's killed by gunfire so far this year. Did you write an LTE to every community's paper asking if, why, or why not President Obama did/did not speak on behalf of those killed?
The president probably will address fallen officers at the National Peace Officers Memorial, just as he did in 2012.
Somehow I feel this will not by good enough for you.
I can relate.

Another fine example of our school system, for starters, reading comprehension, the article is about, the state of FLORIDA, not the federal government, and second, well, the spelling and grammar speak for themselves.
And now I look at what I copied from from the TCpalm article, "employees though St. Lucie" proof reader, that should be "thought".
Perhaps an example of what Carling Technologies employees were talking about?
This is a STATE issue waterview, not federal. The citizens of Florida pay taxes, The citizens of St. Lucie county pay property tax, I pay taxes and certainly am not rich, but my taxes go to businesses to sweeten their deal, provide incentive, and pay them to start their business here. Where is the payoff?
Example from the article,"Connecticut electrical manufacturer Carling Technologies Inc. planned to move to Tradition, but balked because their employees though St. Lucie schools were lousy, The Hartford Courant reported. That deal, which was approved in 2006, promised 150 jobs averaging $55,000 a year in exchange for $615,000 in state incentives."
We need our taxes for schools, producing educated persons for employment, parks, law enforcement, good roads,a clean city, reasons for business to want to be here, not some "bribe" of a select few.
Sorry, I have a full time business to run and do not have time to "communicate".
I basically stick to comments regarding the LTE and sarcastically rip the inane comments they espouse, which are usually lies, rumor, innuendo and religious drivel.
Occasionally some of the comments which I feel meet the above stated criteria need to be addressed, with my usual sharp tongued wit.
But sincerely, thanks for noticing!
Meth anyone?
I don't want blacks, Hispanics, young adults that drink and use drugs, grouchy old people, couples that have domestic disputes, or convicted felons in my neighborhood.
I guess its time to leave Port St Lucie, and buy in a gated community, with restricted deeds that do not allow the common riff-raff inside.
Except to perform lawn maintenance.
"Johnson, the Basketball Hall of Famer, said Friday night during an ESPN broadcast he would post $1 million to the winner of the dunk contest if James entered." SEE WINNER.
"Please LeBron, get in the dunk contest," Johnson said. "I'm going to put up a million dollars. A million dollars to LeBron. Please get in the dunk contest. I go every year. I want to see you out there. A million to the winner.''
Magic Johnson supports these charities:
Buoniconti Fund To Cure Paralysis
Celebrity Fight Night Foundation
Charity Folks
Keep A Child Alive
Ludacris Foundation
The Miami Project
Magic Johnson Foundation You probably didn't know Labron's made for TV special, "The Decision", raised 3 million dollars for charity, you just assumed he was a egotistical spoiled athlete.
I will ignore the racial undertones of this LTE, but Daryl, would you show us your list of supported charities?
James writes, "God and his son, Jesus Christ."
OK, what is it, God and his son Jesus or Jesus is God? Jesus prayed to his father or himself. The father let his son be crucified for our sins or let himself be crucified.
He died and rose from the dead, or because he was God never really died?
Never mind, I will take being a Jew.
Well, I think there are two possibilities.
1- God doesn't sanction the Catholic church as God's voice or,
2- God doesn't exist.
Why doesn't God choose the pope?
And we all know any budget is non-binding, right?
Where do we start on this one. "God willing", well, In that case God's will was President Obama's reelection, unless of course God too fell for the "total subjugation of the liberal press and media" "His of goal winning back the House and Senate in 2014"
The senate is 53 to 45 in favor of Dems, with the 2 independents voting with the Dems, so gee, who already holds the senate.
How about this gem, ""running the table" with no opposition in Congress will not succeed."
How far fetched is that statement, we need a reality check please.
Of course Mike, may I call you Mike?, throws in the old standard "his failed polices and continued destruction of the American way of life" and a more flowery rewriting "socialistic abomination foreign to the principles of a free people" of socialist policies.
Great letter Mike.
Keep those cards and letters coming.
Headline news, Alonzo Mourning is pitching healthy lunches for Florid'a children.
I guess we should rip him too.
Oh, I get it, and still think it is uncalled for . Sgt. Morales has plenty of support, but when the table is reversed, what support does a poor minority have,"showboaters".
This is a tragedy, and you feel compelled to politicize it. This letter expresses sentiments no worse than their perceived motivation of Sharpton and Jackson. Were 3000 vehicles not enough, were thousands of people lining the streets and attending the funeral not enough. Were the governor, the States attorney, top cops from all over Florida not enough. Why don't you question the political motivation of the elected officials who attended, instead of the racial implications you suggest of those that did not attend. It does not matter to me who was there and who was not, it is still a terrible tragedy.

At least you get it, unlike some.
J. Edgar Hoover was on the job. Hoover is gone now ,and he took his dresses with him.
"as to why reality doesn't conform with what you seem to believe."
Let me correct that. Its WANT to believe.
" If our server is a conservative I'll tip him/her at least $150.00"
Wow, I never thought of that, basing my tip on political affiliation, instead of service quality.
How do you know their political affiliation, rudely ask or just ASSume.
Florida already has, as voted on by the citizens of Florida, a higher hourly minimum wage at $7.79 and $4.77 for tipped employees, with yearly raises according to the COLA index, than the federal minimum wage ($7.25 and $2.13) Let me ask you, were you complaining back (2006) then, or is it an "Obama" issue.
Personally, I think raises should be earned, not mandated by the state.
Sonny,I remember a hundred years ago I walked to school in the snow, uphill, both ways,uh,uh..
We were tuff, tuff I tell you!, we broke an arm we just put a splint on it and continued on.
Darn kids nowadays, they are spoiled, spoiled I tell you. Wanting free stuff and expecting a free ride. WE WON THE BIG ONE,WWI. Pansies, grow a spine, get a job, get a uh,uh,.....ZZZZZZ
Roy, The Constitution grants Congress exclusively the power to appropriate funds. This power of the purse is one of Congress' primary checks on the executive branch. Other powers granted to Congress include the authority to borrow money on the credit of the United States, regulate commerce with foreign nations and among the states, and coin money.
But if it makes you feel better, keep those cards and letters coming.
Hadn't realized it was Travon Martin's killings anniversary Funny how Sean Hannity called Obama's Travon speech many nice things, including eloquent.
Once again if the Obama bashing helps you feel better keep those cards and letters coming.
Since I place no belief in your version of the Jesus/God entity you believe in, I should be able to choose whether or not I should end my suffering, as prolonging death at an advanced age is not for the greater good. That should be my choice, and being able to follow through on my choice should be done in a dignified,graceful way. Not with pills, bullets, or gas fumes.
If we could remove God and emotion from the equation, and begin to accept a person's right to die with dignity, we could embrace their life with a final celebration.
Imagine having your memorial service before you die, when you could actually hear the kind words and stories people have to tell, and then bow out gracefully at a time of your choosing in a peaceful, serene setting. It could be private, or you could have those of your choosing to be with you.
This could also open up a new industry, death with dignity.
Since we are back here, understand, I think killing Sgt Morales is a terrible crime that should be prosecuted to its fullest.
I am not black either, but I heard an interesting piece on NPR shortly after the Travon Martin shooting. These educated black men were talking about how when they were growing ( I think in L.A.) up their mother always told them to dress a certain way, to always stop when the police asked you to, to not make any quick moves when stopped by the police, to yes sir/mam and no sir/mam the officer, to basically cave in to any police directive and not be confrontational. The only thing my mother told me was to wear light colored clothing at night.
Do you understand the difference. I didn't have to worry about being harassed, beat up, locked up, or shot by the police, because I was white and it was not a part of my culture to fear the police.
Thank you John . Keep those cards and letters coming!
in response to NeverSurprised: I am a proud liberal and I no idea what what my beliefs have to do with disrespecting the law. You like a lot of conservative want to use every issue to further your outdated "cause" because you "got" nothing else. It's like me saying conservatives breed the likes of Timothy McVey. And of course, you have to bring Obama into this just for "fun". What's you IQ, 12?

LOL Obama is president for a second term. No one can vote for him again.

Civil rights leader Bayard Rustin is shown in his Park Avenue South office in New York City in April 1969. Rustin served as chief strategist for the 1963 March on Washington but was kept mostly in the background with some organizers considering him a liability. Notably,
he was gay in an era when same-sex relations were widely reviled in American society. He died in 1987,
and is sometimes forgotten in civil rights history. (1969 file / Associated Press)

Good phone, if only...This review is from: Panasonic KX-TG9472B 1.9 GHz Digital DECT 6.0 Two Line Expandable Corded/Cordless Phone with 2 Handsets and Digital Answering Machine Pros: If it were not for problem below, this would be an excellent system. Clear sound, good function, reasonable range and two line. Great price with two phones included. Cons: Two line function failed within the first month. Still works as a one line phone but that is not why I obtained it. Other Thoughts: I saw other warnings about the possibility of this failure. I took out the 1 year replacement because of this. New egg is not to blame and their help was quick. Get it together Panasonic. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

"Building a road into the Absaroka-Beartooth wilderness is like throwing a brick through a church window – it is an assault on one of Montana's treasures, and we will oppose it," said Earthjustice attorney Tim Preso, who is representing conservationists in the case.
The court filing was in response to a lawsuit filed by the Absaroka Trust, a trust established by Livingston resident James Sievers. The Trust seeks to overturn a decision by the U.S. Forest Service denying the Trust's request to build a 20-foot-wide gravel road through the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness Area to access a 120-acre private inholding. The Forest Service has estimated that 8.6 miles of new road would be required to reach the property. The wilderness, which adjoins the northern boundary of Yellowstone National Park, is a 943,626-acre expanse of alpine lakes, sweeping tundra, steep canyons and dense forests. Elk, moose, and grizzly bears find refuge within its boundaries, and its 700 miles of trails provide outstanding opportunities for hiking, backpacking, horseback riding, and hunting.
The proposed road would be used to log and mine the inholding property, and to construct and operate a hunting and fishing lodge, according to court documents. The Forest Service denied the Absaroka Trust's request to build the road in November, and the Trust sued the Forest Service in Montana's federal district court late last year.
"The Forest Service was right to deny the request to build a road into the Wilderness," said Bob Ekey, Northern Rockies Regional Director for The Wilderness Society. "When you buy property in the heart of a Wilderness area, you shouldn't expect to drive to it. Access by trails in the area is adequate."
"What makes this road-building proposal even more offensive is that the landowner wants the taxpayers to finance it," added Bob Decker, Executive Director of the Montana Wilderness Association. He noted that among the lawsuit's demands is that the Forest Service pay for all costs and expenses incurred in constructing the road – a sum that has been estimated at well over $1 million. "Not only should this road never be built, but it is adding insult to injury to insist that Americans pay for the destruction of their own wilderness."
Several of the conservation groups involved in today's court filing played critical roles in obtaining protection for the Absaroka and Beartooth Moutain ranges as federal wilderness. Conservationists waged a long campaign in support of Absaroka-Beartooth wilderness legislation in the late 1970s. The legislation was introduced by the late Montana Sen. Lee Metcalf and finally was enacted in 1978, shortly after Sen. Metcalf's death.
"The Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness Area is a critical piece of Montana's conservation legacy," said Tim Stevens of the Greater Yellowstone Coalition. "We will not stand by while that legacy is destroyed to advance the private interests of a single landowner."
George Nickas, Executive Director of Wilderness Watch, noted that the Absaroka Trust's lawsuit represents just one of many controversies that have arisen recently over motorized access to private lands within wilderness areas: "This case will have a profound impact on the entire National Wilderness Preservation System. With literally thousands of individual parcels of private lands scattered throughout the system, a ruling in the Trust's favor threatens to eviscerate millions of acres of Wilderness designated to date."
"Wilderness areas are Americans' loftiest expression of respect for our natural world, and a vast majority of Americans do not want that expression to be trampled," added Jim Barrett, Executive Director of the Park County Environmental Council. "Attempting to build a road through our Wilderness area is a blatantly arrogant violation of Americans' desire to respect the sanctity of these rare landscapes."
