Devon supports 'Dry January' (From This is The West Country)
Get involved! Send your photos, video, news & views by texting COUNTY GAZETTE to 80360 or email us
Devon supports 'Dry January'
11:00am Sunday 22nd December 2013 in Devon
DEVON has added its support to a national campaign to challenge people to go alcohol-free for 31 days in January 2014.
Now in its second year, the 31-day booze fast was adopted by around 4,500 people nationally last year, and for many is a chance to adopt a healthier lifestyle after the excesses of Christmas.
The national Dry January campaign is being run by Alcohol Concern, which is asking local authorities across the country to sign up in support.
Devon County Council's Cabinet Member for Health and Wellbeing, Cllr Andrea Davis, and Director of Public Health Virginia Pearson, both took up the challenge last year, and plan to do so again. She said: "I felt absolutely fantastic after a month without alcohol. In fact, it established such a positive behaviour change that I have stuck with it and have had no more than the odd glass of wine for a whole year.
"I've loved the benefits it has had on my energy levels and general sense of wellbeing."
There are an estimated 145,507 high risk drinkers in Devon, who are classified as drinking more than the nationally recommended units of alcohol a week; and around 27,028 having an alcohol dependency and over 2,500 people in the county putting their lives at risk through their drinking levels.
Director of Public Health Virginia Pearson said: "Alcohol is one of the biggest contributing factors to ill health in Devon, and contributes to increased hospital admissions, early death, crime and disorder, domestic violence and health and social inequalities.
"We're really pleased to be supporting this campaign, which is a chance to lose weight, feel better, save money and make a positive difference to our health and our lives."

- Where can I get more information?
What is triptorelin (Trelstar Depot)?
Triptorelin is a man-made form of a hormone that regulates many processes in the body. Triptorelin overstimulates the body's own production of certain hormones, which causes that production to shut down temporarily.
Triptorelin is used to treat the symptoms of prostate cancer. Triptorelin treats only the symptoms of prostate cancer and does not treat the cancer itself. Use any other medications your doctor has prescribed to best treat your condition.
Triptorelin may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
What are the possible side effects of triptorelin (Trelstar Depot)?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect. Some of these side effects are symptoms of prostate cancer that may occur because the medicine raises your testosterone levels:
- painful or difficult urination, burning when you urinate, blood in the urine;
- bone pain;
- numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness (especially in your legs and feet);
- loss of movement in any part of your body;
- fever, chills, body aches, flu symptoms;
- sudden numbness or weakness, sudden severe headache, confusion, problems with vision or speech; or
- chest pain or heavy feeling, pain spreading to the arm or shoulder, nausea, sweating, general ill feeling.
Less serious side effects may include:
- hot flashes;
- back pain, pain or swelling in your legs;
- headache, dizziness, tired feeling;
- decreased interest in sex, impotence, trouble having an orgasm;
- nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, upset stomach;
- sleep problems (insomnia);
- breast pain or swelling; or
- pain where the medicine was injected.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Read the Trelstar Depot (triptorelin pamoate) Side Effects Center for a complete guide to possible side effects
What is the most important information I should know about triptorelin (Trelstar Depot)?
You should not use this medication if you are allergic to triptorelin or similar drugs such as leuprolide (Lupron, Viadur, Eligard) or goserelin (Zoladex).
Before using triptorelin, tell your doctor if you have any type of cancer that has spread to your spine, a bladder obstruction or problems with urination, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, a history of stroke or heart attack, or if you smoke.
After your injection, your prostate cancer symptoms may get worse for a short time because triptorelin raises your testosterone levels. These side effects should get better within 3 or 4 weeks. Call your doctor if your symptoms do not improve, or if they get worse while using triptorelin.

The Golden State Warriors held a six-player workout on Saturday in advance of the June 27 NBA Draft which included the following players:
- Chris Babb, G, Iowa State
- Kevin Foster, G, Santa Clara
- Elijah Johnson, G, Kansas
- Devon Moore, G, James Madison
- E.J. Singler, F, Oregon
- Peyton Siva, G, Louisville
Siva's name stands out on this list as much for his standing among 2013 NBA Draft prospects as the fact that he won a National Championship at Louisville: he's the first player that the Warriors have had in for a formal pre-draft workout who is projected by some to be selected on June 27.
For those searching for signs that the Warriors will look to trade into the draft, this probably isn't it: as a player projected as a mid- to late-second round pick, Siva could easily become a candidate to add to the summer league roster as an undrafted free agent. Potentially making things more difficult for Siva is that he might have trouble standing out in a point guard class that is considered pretty deep.
Peyton Siva, PG, 6'1", Louisville Cardinals
Peyton Siva's Golden State Warriors pre-draft workout interview.
Siva was asked for his thoughts about whether his size is a limitation after the workout, but that concern is probably overstated, as described by Fear the Sword's Sam Vecenie after the draft combine measurements were released.
However, the combination of being a 6-foot-1 point guard with a suspect jumpshot is probably not a positive for Siva.
Peyton is probably the most recognizable name on the list as the starting point guard on the team who just won the NCAA National Championship. He is extremely quick and athletic, a great defender with excellent lateral quickness, and a good distributor. However, he is not a good shooter, and like Pressey, has a tendency to believe he is. While Siva is often referred to as being undersized, I think this is much less of a concern than his perimeter shooting. If Siva can develop a consistent jump shot and be more selective with his shot selection, he could be an absolute steal in the second round for a team looking for a young point guard.
Still, when trying to project his NBA potential his strengths are clear: playmaking out of the pick and roll, as described by Curtis Pashelka.
Siva is regarded as an exceptional passer and scorer, a solid pick-and-roll player who is quick enough to get to the basket.
"My playmaking ability is pretty much what my calling card is,"said Siva, who has worked out for eight NBA teams so far. "Just showing that I can make plays for others, get others involved."
The first time I actually saw the Seattle native play was during an annual basketball tournament in Seattle in which the city's best basketball talents return for a high school alumni tournament. Siva had just finished his sophomore year at that point, but the strengths people are highlighting now were evident then, even in what was more of a loose pick-up environment: he was poised and seemed unbothered by pressure up against the likes of Aaron Brooks, Will Conroy, Jamal Crawford, and Nate Robinson (defensive wizards, I know). He navigates the game with relative ease and seeing him run Louisville's offense in the 2013 National Championship game was an extension of everything I'd known about him. The question is whether he'll be able to overcome his perceived weaknesses in the NBA.
Aziz N'Diaye, C, 7'0", Washington Huskies
Aziz N'Diaye's Golden State Warriors pre-draft interview.
N'Diaye was part of another six-player workout on Friday and is also a player who I'm familiar with from my time in Seattle. But my first memory of him wasn't entirely positive: he went 3-for-15 from the free throw line against McNeese State back in November 2010.
But, as noted the other day, his offense came along over time and his real strength is something that the Warriors have seemingly been chasing forever: defense and rebounding, which brings to mind an old quote from a former Washington teammate after that McNeese State game.
"His presence down there - on both ends - his rebounding is ridiculous," said Bryan-Amaning of N'Diaye. "You forget sometimes you don't realize how long his arms are because he's seven feet tall. But everybody talks about my wingspan but he makes me look like a baby out there sometimes. We've got plays in practice where he has legit just stood up and had both of his arms up in the air and I can't get the ball just because of how long he was."
Although N'Diaye's free throw shooting remained a problem (obviously to a lesser extent) throughout his career, his rebounding only improved year-by-year and was the Pac-12's top offensive rebounder during the 2012-13 season.
Season | School | Conference | G | PER | TS% | Oreb% | Stl% | Blk% | Tov% | Usg% | ORtg | DRtg |
2010-11 | Washington | Pac-10 | 35 | 14.9 | .547 | 15.4 | 0.8 | 6.2 | 21.3 | 14.4 | 105.4 | 95.7 |
2011-12 | Washington | Pac-12 | 33 | 16.0 | .500 | 12.3 | 1.3 | 4.2 | 16.3 | 18.7 | 99.4 | 96.0 |
2012-13 | Washington | Pac-12 | 34 | 18.0 | .537 | 13.4 | 1.0 | 4.1 | 17.3 | 17.8 | 103.9 | 98.5 |
Career | Washington | 102 | 16.6 | .525 | 13.6 | 1.1 | 4.7 | 17.8 | 17.2 | 102.6 | 96.9 |
Aziz N'Diaye's statistics at Washington (via Sports-Reference.com).
N'Diaye is yet another guy the Warriors have brought in who is not projected to be drafted, but with his length and rebounding ability he could be a worthwhile guy to look at in summer league or for the D-League.
Today, the Warriors are scheduled to work out three more players according to Hoopshype:
- Keion Bell, Missouri
- Dwayne Davis, Southern Miss
Ehimen Orupke, Wichita State

New Mexico Department of Game and Fish |
WILDLIFE AREAS CLOSED DUE TO EXTREME FIRE CONDITIONS SANTA FE – The Department of Game and Fish has closed several State Game Commission-owned wildlife areas, campgrounds and fishing areas beginning Thursday, June 30, because of extreme fire conditions and to coincide with closures in bordering national forests and other public lands. The Santa Fe National Forest announced is was going to a full closure beginning Thursday, restricting all access to trails and campgrounds except those in the Coyote Ranger District and northern part of the Cuba Ranger District, which will remain under Stage 2 fire restrictions. The Carson National Forest announced closures for all ranger districts except the Jicarilla. The Lincoln National Forest is closed, and there are partial closures in the Cibola and Gila national forests. Wednesday, Gov. Susanna Martinez declared a state of emergency regarding fireworks use in New Mexico, urging all New Mexican to refrain from buying, selling or using fireworks during the dry fire season. Fireworks bans already are in place on all state and federal lands and most county and city properties. State Game Commission land closures and restrictions usually coincide with those imposed by bordering national forest, state and other federal lands. They include:

MMA has always been around and the only difference is now its a bit more popular... but not really in terms of kids choosing it over football or baseball for example
MMA gyms are far too expensive for the majority of kids and literally all of them don't allow full contact sparring until at least 14
Also MMA and Boxing draw interest from the entire world
Boxing was never like this really back in the day, kids started sparring almost right away no matter the age
Also MMA will never have a mainstream following like football, or how boxing used to be in this country
Boxing used to be americas #1 sport, now its football.... MMA will never be that popular imo
Also the NFL hasn't had its Muhammed Ali moment yet, once a powerful hero like say Tom Brady or whoever gets are brain dead and shit, then it will send shockwaves through america and the talent pool will start to slowly dry up, then the level of play and entertainment falters and boom, interest from fans is all that is left to wither away
It will take longer than boxing but it will happen imo, football is a dying sport... period, it might not die until 2045... but its death is coming
Football is incredibly dangerous and players aren't gonna stop getting bigger, faster and stronger anytime soon if ever
TNoles813 said...
MMA may never get as big as the NFL is now, but I'm not ready to say for sure it won't yet.
They've already been picked up by FOX (UFC, that is) and they are using one of the NFL announcers (I forget his name), the NFL robot things, and the music that is nearly identical to the NFL music.
UFC has grown exponentially in the past few years and doesn't look like it's slowing down.
And the most important factor, UFC has an owner (Dana White) who is not only business savvy (or at least thats the impression I've gotten), but he LOVES MMA and wants to improve the product/sport, not focus on profits.
Thats all IMO tho.

Shaft: | 100% North American Grade "A" Hardrock Maple |

totally satisfied
Rank: Rookie
Honestly, after getting used to a stiffer hit and a different touch, I just can't return to my old shaft. I get a way better control on inside shots. I generate more spin using english with less effort and I find easier to currently align with this smaller tip. The shaft has almost no deflection. It is a very good alternative to a more expensive low deflection shaft.
the hxt skinny shaft
Rank: Banger
Bought it and was not completely impressed, does not have a solid feel, couldn't get used to it after five weeks, even though this was the first low deflection shaft I have bought, just wasn't impressed. Thankfully our gracious host's at Pool Dawg are letting me return it. You rock Pool Dawg!!!!!

Shagbook won't take Facebook thrust lying down
The "hottest place to hook up with local singles for no strings attached adult dating" is fighting back against Facebook's demand that it change its name. Shagbook – an outfit based in Windsor, UK – has filed an Answer to Opposition with the United States Patent and Trademark office in response to Facebook's assertion that its …
'...they argue that there's nothing wrong with appending that mildly naughty term to the word "book".'
I believe you mean "prepending" (admittedly slang :D ) or appending "book" to "shag".
First thing I wanted to point out also. Pedantic, I know, sorry. Perhaps 'prefixing'?
I would have thought...
...that "upending" would be more appropriate given the purpose of Shagbook.
I'd have called such a site 'black book' but that may be lost on the post-portable-phone audience.
The term little black book is prior art to anything on the Internet.
Not to mention address book, phone book and yearbook.
Not only is "facebook" a generic term, but I was a college freshman in 2003, and my school was among the first to be supported. I distinctly remember getting an email explaining that Facebook was a digital replacement for the traditional freshman facebook, which made perfect sense given that there didn't seem to BE a physical facebook for my class.
Not in the UK
"Facebook" is an American word - I'd never heard of it before the website - so it could be argued that in the UK the company is hanging on to its coat-tails.
Four down one million to go
I wonder how hes going to go against ALL the big telcos, I mention this as they all infringe as they produce PHONEBOOK, and there's my Favorited COOKBOOK, I'm sure there's lots more.
Delia Smith, Nigella Lawson
So Facebook is taking offence to the word Shagbook, what happens to poor old Delia and Nigella when they release their cookbook?
Re: Delia Smith, Nigella Lawson
"So Facebook is taking offence to the word Shagbook, what happens to poor old Delia and Nigella when they release their cookbook?"
Americans will sue anyone for anything...
I'm suprised that Apple hasn't sued people for prepending "i" to every product/service such as the BBC iPlayer etc. And I never understood what the i was for anyway. iNteractive? iThink iTs just a load of balls.
Because they would loose....
iPaq's were around well before the iFakes. As was iPhone and IOS. Both of which they had to ask (pay) nicely for....
But... I thought they had?
I mean, they sued Amazon for using the name "app store", Motorola Over Multitouch, and even Woolworth's over their logo (it looked like an apple). Oh, and a school, too.
No, you mean "STUPID" North Americans North of
Mexico, South of Canada... Since I prefer to use "America" in the non-hijacked way. Unfortunately, that word usage has soooo much negative baggage associated with it these days that US Citizens with multiple passports and who think worldly are careful to not brandish that US passport for personal safety reasons and to avoid appearance of ostentatiousness. The STUPID ones, though, ARE ostentatious at the international level
I despise many of the patents I see currently or previously issued/granted by the USPTO. Many are heinous.
In the digital age, it is obvious that the collision of cultures and regions means many words will expectedly see even more duplicated application. For example, in the USA, a person in San Francisco can form a company called Acme Rentals (if not already formed/incorporated) and have protection to use it IN San Francisco. if one does so at the state level before one is formed in a city, one might enjoy name/trademark protection at the state leve. Then, for more protection, go to the USPTO.
But, do BANKS gripe and snipe at each other. Imagine if an on line sperm bank formed and called itself "esperm". Will beauticians and perms specialists get huffy and puffy? What if SpermBank.com formed. Would banks come after them. What if SpermBank.com had a jingle/slogan "More BANk BANKG for yout BUCK (thrust/hip movement)". Would it be sued by the company that uses "More BANG for your BUCK" in it's adverts?
This madness needs to end.
Who Givesafuckbook?
Err, isn't that the whole point of the site. To find those peoplecwho do give a fuck ;)
Facebook to sue BT for use of PhoneBook
I'm joking of course ... but I suspect they will do it eventually, ha ha
Police will also no longer be able to "throw the book" at criminals, now they must throw unencrypted USB pen drives at them instead, these will contain PDF copies of the law. However, criminals must not use a Mac Book to view the said PDFs on!
What is to become of the English language?
now that it is to be subdivided and owned by our Corporate Overlords? What with Apple owning "i" and "pod" and Facebook owning "face" and "book?" What's next? And do I have to pay them for using their words in this post?
just though of new social network idea...
where people can discus how their early morning movements went, I'll call it LogBook
Too Late
Lots of people have used logbooks for many years. Much of what was entered was probably crap, too.
Oh grow up already
If that (admitedly rich) prat Zuckerberg had actually thought of an original name for his operation like humbinko or something idiotically web2.0 then yeah. Instead he took a widely used generic term which itself is formed by joining two common English language words together. Fail.
Else he should be trying to sue blackbook.com and cookbook.com as well and maybe facetious.com and oh, don't forget facetime.com
What a moron.
Long ago when I was a sadder younger person, I used Faceparty (Before that Yahoo!, but they made one of their enforced updates that broke everything). I'm sure that this predates Facebook by a bit, so Perhaps Facebook is actually the one that should change it's name. Obiously it can't call itself face anything, because that would be stepping on faceparty's name.
Perhaps Crapville? Sadville?
Yeah, Faceparty was around in 2002. One of my friends met his now wife on there in early 2003.
"All models are age 18 or older."
Is on the disclaimer for Shagbook - at least this is an honest dating site that admits upfront the pictures used to entice you in aren't the people you're likely to meet in real life if you ever locate a woman on there that doesn't sound like a bunny boiler...
The logical extension is...
... by registering facebook as a TM you, by implication register face and book and presumably cebo.
And good luck with defending a TM that is a common word in use for a physical directory of names and faces before you were born.
Crock of shit.
There should be porridge for vexatious suits.
At one point, I was contemplating registering arsebook.com. Butt I couldn't be arsed.
Who knows, there could have been many dozens of punters move over from the other side (or should that be "end"?), like this creative soul -
Anyone remember The South Butt?
Paris - Did someone say shag?
Given the nature of the site he should have just called it Basefuck.com and been done with it. The domain is for sale, apparently.
oh ffs
when i move to a position of benelovent dictatorship this is one of things I will come down hard on.
If you can't be bothered to think up an original word to describe your product you have no NO *NO* rights to the individual words you've welded together. think of the problems with easy jet etc.
in fact even raising it in my new world order would mean your website got banned and the CEO was sentanced to an ass raping by Brian Blessed in full Flash Gorden outfitbefore being unblocked (broadcast live on skype - another name you can't really arse around with if you'll pardon the pun)
seriously, plenty of others have got round it like, erm, amazon, bing, hulu, boxee, google,... list could go on forever. its only shit people that have to weld words together.
You know one of those is a German toy manufacturer
Whereas the rest are sort of internet related

< Return To Hearing
Patrick WordJune 5, 2007
Testimony of Detective Patrick Word ? The pervasiveness of gangs throughout society is undeniable. They incite fear and violence within our communities. Gangs threaten our schools, our children and our homes. Gangs today are more sophisticated and flagrant in their use of violence and intimidation tactics. As they migrate across the country, they bring with them drugs, weapons, violence and other criminal activity. Acknowledgement of the issue and joint community and law enforcement responses is our best defense. ? The National Alliance of Gang Investigators Associations (NAGIA) is an alliance of eighteen (18) gang investigator associations across the United States and Canada. The combined alliance represents over 20,000 gang investigators, intelligence officers, gang prosecutors, corrections officers, and parole and probation agents at the federal, state, local and tribal levels. ? The NAGIA has partnered with the National Gang Intelligence Center, The Global Intelligence Working Group, the National Youth Gang Center and the RISS Projects to coordinate the sharing of gang intelligence in order to foster information sharing among law enforcement officials involved in the daily investigation and apprehension of violent gang members. ? In 2002 and again in 2005, the NAGIA and the Bureau of Justice Assistance commissioned the National Gang Threat Assessment. To date, this is the most comprehensive and scientific study of gang trends across our country. Additional funding is needed to begin the 2007 Threat Assessment. ? Local law enforcement is the frontline in the war on gangs and gang violence. 80% of all gangs are local and homegrown groups engaged in daily criminal activity in large and small communities, urban and rural, and every type of neighborhood in between. These gangs range in size from the minimum accepted definitions of three subjects to as large as several hundred. They cross all cultural boundaries in the make up of their membership and the ages range from 9 to 40 as a median. Too often, the media has confused the public linking the immigration issue as the major cause of gang problems and gang crime in the United States. ? Intelligence gaps still exist between law enforcement agencies and this hampers our ability to investigate and apprehend violators as well as present cases for prosecution, both locally and in the federal system. These gaps can be closed with the implementation of national reporting through the Violent Gang and Terrorist Organization File, VGTOF, an already existing database through the NCIC program. ? Criminal gangs have stepped up recruiting efforts over the years and few States have addressed the issue through legislative means. The NAGIA endorses those sections of the bill that allow for the prosecution of gang recruitment. In 2004, the Justice Department reported that there were 559, 566 full time law enforcement employees in the United States (UCR Report) and intelligence reports and the NAGIA/BJA threat assessment showed during that same period there were approximately 680,000 to 700,000 documented and validated gang members in the US. ? For a number of years, federal law enforcement partners have been hampered in their efforts to investigate and arrest juvenile gang offenders. They have relied on their state and local partners to handle this ever growing portion of gang violence. Juveniles are often leaders or shot callers of the most violent gangs and often escape the consequences of their illegal actions because many states do not have tough gang laws with stiff penalties for juveniles or the state and local juvenile justice systems are overwhelmed with heavy case loads. The NAGIA also supports this aspect of the bill. ? Witness intimidation is a major problem for local law enforcement officials especially local prosecutors. Many violent gang cases are dropped or lost in local courts because witnesses do not or cannot come forward. Most local jurisdictions do not have the resources necessary to fund witness protection programs. The NAGIA supports and endorses the portions of the bill which assist law enforcement in this capacity. ? Law enforcement plays only one of three roles needed for communities and the country to deal with the issue of gang violence and gang crime. We are the suppression arm of the comprehensive approach needed. The NAGIA has partnered with the National Youth Gang Center and the GREAT program and endorses prevention and intervention efforts across the nation. Local non profits and faith based groups have assisted police departments in their efforts to prevent our young people from joining gangs and when they do want to leave the gang lifestyle, have assisted those who choose to do so. Without all of these components, the efforts will be in vain. The bill is part of the suppression arm and we welcome and endorse its passage. My thanks to the committee and the members for inviting me to speak today and for your attention to this very important matter. I am available to answer any questions you may have. Submitted, the 5th day of June, 2007 on behalf of the National Alliance of Gang Investigator Associations, NAGIA. Detective Patrick A. Word, NAGIA Executive Board for James Keeble, President NAGIA |

The new year already is looking a lot like the old one for employees at The Enquirer.
Workers at Cincinnati's only remaining daily newspaper got some bad news Wednesday: They can expect to take another five-day furlough during the first quarter of 2011. Robert J. Dickey, who is U.S. newspaper division president at The Gannett Co., The Enquirer's parent firm, announced the latest round of furloughs in a memo sent to workers.
Carolyn Washburn has been hired as editor and vice president at The Cincinnati Enquirer, the newspaper announced today. A Greater Cincinnati native, Washburn currently is editor at The Des Moines Register in Iowa.
Washburn, 48, previously worked with Enquirer Publisher Margaret Buchanan while both were at The Idaho Statesman. Buchanan will be Washburn's new boss and made the selection. Washburn begins her new job Jan. 10.
I've been amused by the ads and notices running in The Enquirer lately promoting increased availability of the Nov. 5 Enquirer featuring the front page announcing that Barack Obama had won the presidency. Apparently they've had to go back and reprint more copies of that issue due to local folks' interest in having the paper as a keepsake.
The funny part, of course, is that The Enquirer endorsed John McCain for president. In other words, they told us not to vote for Obama, and after we ignored them and voted for him anyway they now want to sell us the paper that announced they were wrong and we were right. They're also selling coffee mugs and T-shirts printed with that Nov. 5 front page.
Time Warner Cable will not be taking up Al Jazeera's newly acquired channel. The Associated Press reports Cincinnati's largest cable provider will no longer carry Current TV after its sale to the Pan-Arab news network.
After the buyout, Al Jazeera announced plans to gradually transform Current TV into Al Jazeera America by adding five to 10 new U.S. bureaus and hiring more journalists. But immediately following the acquisition by Al Jazeera, Time Warner released a statement: "Our agreement with Current has been terminated and we will no longer be carrying the service. We are removing the service as quickly as possible."
As AP reports, Al Jazeera has faced an uphill battle reaching American audiences. In 2010, Tony Burman, managing director of Al Jazeera's English branch, blamed hostility from the Bush administration for reluctance among cable and satellite companies to carry Al Jazeera.
But at least part of the reluctance is due to the perception from some that the Qatar-based network is anti-American. Dave Marash, a former "Nightline" reporter who worked as
Al Jazeera's anchor in Washington, D.C., left Al Jazeera in 2008, saying he sensed an anti-American slant.
Despite problems establishing a foothold in the United States, Al Jazeera has built a substantial following for hard-hitting news, and it earned multiple U.S. journalism awards in 2012.
Al Gore confirmed the sale of Current TV to Al Jazeera Wednesday. The former vice president cofounded the left-leaning Current TV in 2005 to provide what he saw as an alternative perspective in media through user-generated content. But the network always struggled, making multiple programming and personnel changes in its quest to become relevant.
TheBlaze, Glenn Beck's media company, also tried to buy Current TV. But the network declined, reportedly saying, "The legacy of who the network goes to is important to us and we are sensitive to networks not aligned with our point of view."
In a sign of changing times, a top editor at The Wall Street Journal this week issued a memo to staffers about the rules of professional conduct for using social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter.
The memo, which applies to the staffers' official accounts through the newspaper, sets guidelines about appropriate behavior on the sites. It was sent by Deputy Managing Editor Alix Freedman.
The Enquirer's top boss has told CityBeat that her connection to a major real estate development group was "overlooked" in a lengthy, front-page article about the organization that was published April 15.
Publisher Margaret Buchanan wrote in response to an email that she didn't influence the preparation, editing or placement of an article about the Cincinnati Center City Development Corp. (3CDC). Buchanan sits on 3CDC's executive committee, and is in charge of overseeing publicity and marketing efforts for the organization.
The Enquirer published a 1,900 word-plus article about 3CDC, lauding the group for its efforts to redevelop Over-the-Rhine despite the economic downturn. Buchanan's role with 3CDC wasn't mentioned, but she told CityBeat it has been disclosed in past articles and will be done again in the future.
Buchanan's response was sent the same day that CityBeat published a column criticizing the lack of disclosure, and questioning whether her role violates The Gannett Co.'s ethical guidelines for news-gathering.
Here's the full text of Buchanan's response:
Over several years, The Cincinnati Enquirer has fully covered the pro's and con's (sic) of 3CDC's development efforts in Over-the-Rhine for our readers and we are very proud of that coverage.
As publisher, I sit on 3CDC's executive committee — and did not influence any of the reporting on this issue. Our editor is completely responsible for all editorial decisions. Typically my participation on this committee is disclosed, although it was overlooked for the article that ran on Sunday, April 15. It will continue to be disclosed in the future.
Margaret Buchanan
A search using the ProQuest database of The Enquirer's archives found that the newspaper has published 481 articles and news briefs mentioning 3CDC since the group began its efforts in 2004. (Given how the database is organized, however, it's likely that some of the entries might be duplicative.)
Of the 481 entries, Buchanan was mentioned in 15 articles. That equates to about 1/32nd of the articles.
Most of the published mentions about Buchanan's ties to 3CDC weren't in articles about the group's retail and residential development projects. Rather, they mostly occurred in articles about 3CDC's efforts to move a homeless shelter away from Over-the-Rhine.
Also, one mention was in an article about the new School for Creative and Performing Arts, while another occurred in a piece marking the 10th anniversary of the police shooting death of Timothy Thomas.
Interestingly, most of the mentions occurred after 2010, when local blogger Jason Haap and CityBeat began publishing items about the lack of disclosure.
This week's Porkopolis column mentioned Gannett's ethics code, which includes such admonishments as "We will remain free of outside interests, investments or business relationships that may compromise the credibility of our news report," and "We will avoid potential conflicts of interest and eliminate inappropriate influence on content."
The code also states "When unavoidable personal or business interests could compromise the newspaper's credibility, such potential conflicts must be disclosed to one's superior and, if relevant, to readers."
In her email, Buchanan didn't address why these rules don't apply to her connection to 3CDC.
Everyone in the media — and indeed everyone who cares about the First Amendment — is mourning the loss of Dick Goehler, a leading attorney at Cincinnati's Frost Brown Todd law firm who passed away yesterday after battling leukemia. Dick's practice focused on media law and represented media clients in all aspects of First Amendment and newsroom-related matters, including CityBeat.
The UK furniture store Habitat capitalized on the Iranian political crisis on their Web site using Twitter keywords to lure potential customers who, instead of shopping, were looking for news on more mundane matters — human rights violations, political unrest, that sort of junk.
Has it really come to this?

'Flute' bass has fond Omaha memories
Opera Omaha's joint production of "The Magic Flute," which concludes this afternoon at the Orpheum Theater, has an Omaha connection among its featured cast members.
Tom McNichols, 33, a booming bass who plays enlightened sovereign Sarastro in the Mozart masterpiece, lived here for four years when his dad, John, was stationed at Offutt Air Force Base.
"Our parents used to take John Young and me on cultural outings to the Orpheum and the Omaha Community Playhouse when we were kids," McNichols said earlier this week. "Nearly 30 years later, John has won a Tony (for 'Jersey Boys') and I'm doing my fifth production of 'The Magic Flute.'"
McNichols said it's been nice reliving memories of the Orpheum, which he praised for its beautiful sound. "We had a solid dress rehearsal packed with students yesterday. It's really been great."
His father, Joe, flew in Friday from New York City to see both performances of "The Magic Flute" at the Orpheum.
Screening, discussion of Reticker's 'Pray'
The Werner Institute will present a special screening and discussion of director Gini Reticker's documentary "Pray the Devil Back to Hell" at Film Streams' Ruth Sokolof Theater on Wednesday.

Finally -- The VEGGIE Version! After scouring the internet for the vegetarian lettuce wraps, I finally broke down and decided to tweak the ubiquitous chicken recipe and this worked out great! The cooking sauce is from the original recipe but is enough for two batches of the veggie version so make go ahead and make the full recipe and reserve half for another batch. Save in a jar and store in the fridge until needed. Another tip: when buying bamboo shoots, get the strips. This will cut down on prep time as all you have to do is dice these. I've also included a sauce for adding to the individual wraps after cooking (just like in the restaurant!) I like my sauce spicy so you may want to experiment with the ingredients for a milder version.

"I ordered these menu cards for my wedding on May 4, 2012. I received them in approx one week. I chose a custom color and it was perfect. The color was exactly as it appeared online. The paper weight is ideal. My guests found the tag line on the bottom very cute. I would definitely recommend these to any bride to be."
"We used these as individual menu cards during our formal reception - we had a four course sit-down dinner. They were beautifully done. everyone complimented me on how elegant they were! The only reason I gave them a 4/5 on design is because they were very simple. Not a lot going on. But they were simple and elegant and made all my guests feel pampered. I would definitely recommend these to a friend."
"I changed around the font and colors to match my rustic theme-but I really liked its bold lettering and simplistic look.Great price!Shipped super fast."
"We kept everything white with navy where we had to have color, and these were the perfect addition to our overall look! They were easy to fill out online and I had a small custom request was WPDivas handled with one proof. We placed these inside the napkin with a white rose on top. The picture is sort of dark but it gives you a good idea at least. LOVED the look and how pretty the tables were when everyone entered the reception room!"

Sandra Bullock and George Clooney at the Venice Film Festival in late August (Photo: Startraks)
Oscar winners Sandra Bullock and George Clooney are known mischief-makers, but this time George got Sandy. He got her good.
On "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" Friday, Bullock recounted a story about how the two were at a dinner party when he tricked her into jumping in a pool alone.
"I went to the bathroom and came out and there was George and someone else with just their pants on going, 'We're gonna go in the pool,' and I was like, 'Really?' " she recalled.
Bullock wanted to join in on the fun.
"And so I held their hands and on the count of three, and in slow motion I see Nicole Kidman with a stack of towels ... and I jump, and they let go, and I go in the pool."

But that wasn't the worst part."The sad part was I wore this cute little lace dress that I paid a lot of money for and as I got out it started disintegrating," said Bullock.
Sandra Bullock Recalls George Clooney's Pool Prank:
The two megastars — now co-starring in the buzzy space drama "Gravity" — have been friends since the '80s. "We're now starting to take the years off how long it's been," the 49-year-old actress joked.
So why haven't they ever dated?
"It's because we're a little too similar," said Bullock, "…in all the disturbing ways."
"Gravity," starring two old friends, lifts off in theaters Friday, October 4.

Nature Made Super B Complex Full Strength -- 60 Softgels

These vitamins are wonderful for helping to sustain energy throughout the day. I recommend them for anyone who has mild low blood sugar and is susceptible to "crashes" during the day.
The best part is that the pill itself is very tiny and easy to swallow but still gives you all the benefits of a full-sized supplement.

Mercury in Seafood is #1 Food Safety Concern
Sixty-one percent of respondents cited mercury in seafood as their top food safety issue above pesticides (60 percent); and artificial hormones (58 percent). Concern for overall food safety ranked highest among women, while both men and women became more troubled by such issues as they aged.
"The good news is that so many affluent shoppers know that mercury in seafood is a problem -- they are getting the message," said Teri Shore, Program Director, "But the downside is that there is no requirement in the U. S. for any commericial fresh fish or canned tuna to carry advisories about mercury due to lobbying by seafood interests. It is buyer beware. I also wonder what the findings would be if given to low-income shoppers who eat a lot of mercury-laden canned tuna."
The GotMercury calculator is one easy way to estimate mercury exposure from fish. People who eat a lot of fish may want to get tested for mercury levels and consult their physician. The FDA advises that women of child-bearing age and children not eat swordfish, mackeral, tilefish, or shark and to strictly limit fresh or canned tuna consumption.

I have an Arduino Micro that I bought from Adafruit and I hooked this up to a BMP085 sensor I have. I believe I've hooked it up correctly as I am indeed getting data back. It's just that the data is consistently way off. I'm using the Adafruit BMP085 library. For example, these are the readings I currently get:
Temperature = -94.43 *C
Pressure = 163217 Pa
Obviously way off right? To test if this is the result of a bad sensor, I hooked everything up to my Raspberry Pi and followed the instructions from learn.adafruit.com. Here's what I got (using the BMP085 python code):
Temperature: 22.70 C
Pressure: 1016.13 hPa
Altitude: -23.95
Obviously much, much better (I haven't verified the pressure and altitude readings, but the temp at least is fairly accurate). So am I missing something here? Is there something special that needs to be done when using the Arduino Micro? I'm thinking I2C bus speed or something? I'll dig in to the specs for that microcontroller again, but if anyone can lend a hand here it will be much appreciated.

New Framework Aligns Teacher Observations to Model Core Teaching Standards
Salt Lake City (PRWEB) February 13, 2014
School Improvement Network, the leader in educator effectiveness resources, today announced a new teacher evaluation framework aligned to the new Interstate Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (InTASC) Model Core Teaching Standards that drives educators towards effectiveness and increased student achievement. The Teacher Effectiveness Framework simplifies and aligns teacher observation feedback to the learning progression for educator skills in the InTASC Standards, making observation feedback part of a continuum of educator growth.
To truly have impact in an educators career and a students learning experience, teacher observations and evaluations must move beyond mere compliance towards meaningful conversations about educator growth and needs, said Chet D. Linton, CEO and president of School Improvement Network. The Teacher Effectiveness Framework has the potential to move educators through a continuum of professional growth by tailoring feedback to the model teaching standards outlined by InTASC and putting all educators on a continuous route towards effectiveness from their first day of school until all of their students graduate college and career ready.
The Teacher Effectiveness Framework includes 24 quality indicators to measure effective teaching based on the definitions outlined in the InTASC Standards that can be aligned to the Common Core Standards or other state-specific standards, making it both simpler and more powerful than other frameworks. The framework can also be modified further to include additional state or district objectives, and includes a calibration system to ensure inter-rater reliability among observers.
The Teacher Effectiveness Framework works in conjunction with School Improvement Networks Educator Effectiveness System (EES) suite of resources. Together, the Teacher Effectiveness Framework and EES give educators actionable observation feedback and resources to implement that feedback, including a video library of thousands of grade, subject, and Common Core Standard-specific content. Districts and systems that do not have EES can still use the Teacher Effectiveness Framework through School Improvement Networks Observation 360, an on-demand observation platform.
The InTASC Model Core Teaching Standards were developed by the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) in 2013, and are available to all educators for free in the InTASC Model Core Teaching Standards LumiBook, the first ever collaborative and interactive e-reader platform for educational resources. Schools and districts using the Teacher Effectiveness Framework also receive an in-depth guidebook on the InTASC Standards.

About School Improvement Network
Founded in 1991 by teachers, School Improvement Network has spent decades researching and documenting the best practices and teaching strategies in education. From this research, School Improvement Network has developed the Educator Effectiveness System. This system delivers a process to improve teacher practice and teaching strategies, and gives educators a set of powerful tools to drive the process. Research shows that districts and schools that use the tools in the Educator Effectiveness System produce better teachers and, as a result, experience dramatic increases in student achievement, driving up student proficiency scores by an average of 19 percent in a single year. School Improvement Network works with thousands of schools and districts in every state and around the world and has visited over 3,500 classrooms to document best practices and teaching strategies in action.

Shanghai, 26 Jul 10
The President of the 2010 Global Model United Nations General Assembly, Yue Qiushi, gave visitors to the UN pavilion in Shanghai a taste of how the global organization works when she presented a preview of an upcoming conference scheduled August 14-18 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, intended to show young people how an international summit meeting works.
"I started by participating in a locally run University Model UN," said Ms. Yue, who comes from China's Harbin province. "And I was so inspired by the globally oriented atmosphere and the opportunity to learn about our world and the UN that I kept on coming back.
"Now I have had the humbling honour of being selected as President of the General Assembly by delegates from all over the world," she said. "The Global Model UN is a great opportunity to make our voices heard as youth".
Coordinated by the United Nations Department of Public Information (DPI), the conference will bring together the best university-level students from Model United Nations programmes around the world. They will discuss the theme, Towards an Alliance of Civilizations: Bridging Cultures to Achieve Peace and Development. Global Model United Nations 2010 will be a simulation of a summit meeting, giving delegates a forum to address issues at the highest level.
The Conference is designed to expand and deepen the Department's outreach to youth, a top priority for the United Nations, particularly with the International Year of Youth being launched on August 12.
More information on the Global Model United Nations Conference and on the student leaders can be found on the Conference website: www.un.org/gmun.

Grading the Yankee announcer's call of the final out of the ALCS.
This year is different. We hope.
The Yankees lose to the Angels, forcing a Game 6 of the ALCS.
Clinching the pennant in Anaheim, in front of their rallying monkeys and thundering sticks, would be every bit as gratifying as doing it at home.
The Yankees take a 3-1 lead in the ALCS.
He's comfortable pitching on short rest, but unfortunately, he won't help them get any hits with runners in scoring position.
Why bringing in Alfredo Aceves to pitch to Howie Kendrick backfired.
To put it nicely, that was not a fundamentally sound performance by Los Angeles.
A new look for the perennial best in the west.
Making fun of Red Sox fans: acceptable. Making fun of Jews: not so much.

For the world's second most populous nation, the FIFA World Cup™ still seems to be a road too far. But, while the Indian team remain fodder for even the region's mid-level teams, they have shown signs of a slight recovery in fortunes.
India were rather ingloriously knocked out in the first stage of Asian Cup qualifying for 2004 by Korea DPR. This came on the back of the South Asian Football Federation Cup defeat to Bangladesh, who went on to break India's string of two consecutive SAFF Cup titles.
The team did impress in the 2002 FIFA World Cup qualifying preliminaries, when they beat Italy 1990 finalists United Arab Emirates 1-0 in the opening match and drew twice with Yemen. However, their 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign was far less exciting as they only grabbed four points from six group matches. They eventually finished in third place, three points behind group winners Japan and Oman.
Despite the disappointment, the arrival of Englishman Bob Houghton has breathed a new lease of life into the team since he took over in May 2006. Under the former China and Uzbekistan coach, the new-look India took the Nehru Cup by storm, trouncing Kyrgyzstan 3-0 before overcoming a resilient Syria 1-0 in the final to clinch the title for the first time in history.
This success came as a timely boost for Indian football, reigniting the passion among the faithful. The nation's 11-year domestic league is attracting increasing attention and interest from fans across the country. With many of the nation's hopefuls coming up through the ranks, coach Houghton will have abundant options when India start their run-up for the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ against Lebanon in a two-legged encounter on 8 and 28 October.

May 11ExhibitionA Mess and a Pleasure: Practicing in PublicGraduate Public Practice presented an exhibition of work by graduates, A Mess and a Pleasure: Practicing in Public at ForYourArtForYourArt, 6020 Wilshire Blvd, L.A. 90036 through May 11, 2012.
The work represents translations from art projects within varied geographies of Los Angeles, and explore the relationship between spaces of communities and spaces of art in a wide range of media and topics. The common impulse concerns envisioning an art practice that reaches outside of the gallery to comment upon, or engage with, new public(s) for art.
Public events in conjunction with this exhibition included a myth-making workshop, a dream group, a workshop on envisioning new uses for alleys, a conversation and art critique by and with Chinese international students, a Highway 99 pit stop video screening, and a panel discussion on social practice and the creative economy with President Samuel Hoi and Bettina Korek, Founder of ForYourArt
ForYourArt produces and hosts activities at 6020 Wilshire Blvd. to promote engagement with art, Los Angeles, and the Miracle Mile as part of its broad mission to create content to frame and support the activities of artists, curators, and institutions.
