Animals as Leaders Biography
Animals as Leaders is a Washington, D.C. based instrumental progressive metal solo project by eight-string guitarist Tosin Abasi. Their self-titled debut album was released in April 2009 by Prosthetic Records. Animals as Leaders was formed "out of the ashes" of guitarist Tosin Abasi's previous band, Reflux. The heavy metal record label Prosthetic Records saw Abasi's guitar work and asked him to create a solo album for them. Abasi initially declined, feeling such an endeavor would be "egotistical and unnecessary". When Reflux disbanded, Abasi decided to take the label's offer. The name Animals as Leaders was inspired by Daniel Quinn's 1992 novel Ishmael, which addresses anthropocentrism. Abasi coined the name as a reminder "that we're all essentially animals". The project's first album, Animals as Leaders, was recorded in early 2008. Abasi recorded all guitar and bass tracks on the album; drums and various synthesized effects were programmed by engineer Misha Mansoor. The album was released April 28, 2009 by Prosthetic Records. Members: Tosin Abasi: 7 and 8 String Guitars Javier Reyes: 7 and 8 String Guitars Chebon Littlefield: Synths and Layers Navene Koperweis : Drums http://www.myspace.com/animalsasleaders

Newsround: JKR Site Gets 17.5 Million Hits in First Week, Will Be Updated SoonNews
May 20, 2004, 02:05 PM
Newsround has talked to JKR about her official site, which got a staggering 17.5 million hits in its first week, based solely on a word of mouth campaign. The site launched on May 14.
"I told the designers that I wanted to use my real desk as the home page, with Portkeys to take people to the various sections, and we worked out all the details together. So I was very involved! The designers actually took a picture of my real desk to work from and the result is very accurate."
JKR chose what things to answer partly from the things she couldn't address in the World Book Day chat, and threw other "bits and pieces" in from her notebooks. As to what's behind the door: "I told you on the site patience is the key."

Extended GP hours pilot is a "success" for Radcliffe patients
Updated 11:34am Thursday 23rd January 2014 in News By Tui Benjamin, Reporter
A NATIONAL pilot to extend GP opening hours in Radcliffe has had a successful uptake by patients in the town.
On December 2, five practices in Radcliffe and one in Bury began opening from 8am until 8pm Monday to Friday and 8am until 6pm at weekends after receiving a £260,000 grant.
It was hoped increasing appointment availability at Redbank Group Practice, Spring Lane Surgery, Monarch Medical Centre, RLC Surgery, Radcliffe Medical Centre and Mile Lane Surgery in Bury would crack down on needless visits to accident and emergency (A&E) departments or walk-in centres by people with minor ailments.
Bury CCG Patient Cabinet member Douglas Galvin said early January saw the first time appointments had been fully booked at a weekend.
On Saturdays and Sundays, each practice in Radcliffe now has two GPs available – one tending to appointments and one dealing with emergencies and home visits.
Mr Galvin said: "This is a major step forward for patients in the Radcliffe area and so far it has worked very well."
Radcliffe Primary Care Centre in Church Street West is currently 40 per cent under used and the scheme means minor operations, blood tests, blood infusions and transfusions, XRays, MRI scans and CT scans will eventually be able to be performed there.

The 12 News Defenders are getting results and reaction after our initial investigation into Green Meadow Apartment Homes in Montgomery. There was an overwhelming response to the report on a local woman's battle with raw sewage, mold and mildew.
Now a former tenant, with her lawyer, shares her struggles with the complex. And the city of Montgomery is responding.
Jennifer Gholar she says her apartment complex is unlivable, despite repeated complaints to management. She lives in Green Meadow Apartments on Fountain Lane, off the Eastern Boulevard.
Tamiko Cherry says she understands Gholar's frustration after she and her family were subjected to mold, mildew, raw sewage and even bacterial infections while living at Green Meadow Apartment Homes for three years.
"Head of maintenance and one of the other maintenance guys were in my apartment everyday. And I wasn't getting any cooperation from management whatsoever, and we were paying our rent every month on time," Gholar said.
With her lawyer's help, she moved out in September of 2012.
"We've written letters to the management company, written letters to the owners. The family was moved to a second apartment which was equally bad," Montgomery Attorney Priscilla Black Duncan said.
Montgomery Public Works Director Chris Conway confirmed a city inspector investigated a raw sewage complaint filed Tuesday.
In a statement Conway said, "Since 2008, we have received numerous complaints from tenants at Green Meadow Apartment Homes. We warned the property managers and owners to address these concerns immediately. These complaints range from building repairs to water leakage. Since 2008, the cases we evaluated have been rectified. Now we are giving them five days to fully rectify the raw sewage complaint filed Tuesday."
Conway says this is an internal issue within the apartment complex's pipes. If not resolved, the city will take legal action.
According to Conway, management should have a crew on site Thursday to resolve this issue.
"People have contacted me on Facebook, text messaging, thanking me for being advocate," Gholar said.
Gholar says a lot of residents are grateful she spoke up and is now shedding light on this issue that every one in this room is dealing with. So far, she's gotten 60 signatures from residents petitioning with her to get immediate action.
"Until I get me and my child a place to stay, I'm just going to keep pursuing this. I'm going to talk to everybody until my voice is heard," Gholar said.
The 12 News Defenders also contacted a former regional property manager in Montgomery for the managing company, who talked in detail, providing documentation on failed unit inspections, upper management knowing about the raw sewage and other issues and not taking action.
This is definitely a story that continues to unfold and the 12 News Defenders will be there to follow the trail.

"You may say that I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will live as one." --John Lennon
Hopes and dreams are visions that everyone looks to achieve in the future. Brotherhood is a special bond between two people that connect them in a unique way. Hope and brotherhood are intertwined; family relationships inspire a more passionate sense of hope. Nobel Peace Prize winner John Steinbeck created the story Of Mice and Men to center on two men taking a journey to achieve their idealistic dream. In the story, George and Lennie are migrant workers longing for their own piece of land and the satisfaction that comes with it. Set in the Great Depression, the land is filled with lonely laborers who are forced to work to survive. George and Lennie take up work on a ranch where their only hope is fueled by their friendship. Through George and Lennie's relationship, Steinbeck proves that hope is strengthened by the anchor of brotherhood.
Lennie's hope shines through his attachment to George. Lennie's belief in their companionship is part of their strong connection: "'Because I got you an'--''An' I got you. We got each other, that's what, that gives a hoot in hell about us,' Lennie yelled triumphantly" (Steinbeck 104). Lennie's enthusiasm and the power forced through his words portrays his devotion to George. Lennie speaks as if he knows exactly what is going to happen in the future and completely trusts George's statements, motives, and dreams. George and Lennie hold on to the futuristic dream of having their own farm: "'An' live off the fatta' the lan'' Lennie shouted.'An' have rabbits. Go on George! Tell about what we're gonna have in the garden and about the rabbits in the cages and about the rain in the winter and the stove and how thick the cream is like you can hardly cut it. Tell about that, George" (14). Lennie is so excited; just the very mention of the dream makes him buzz with happiness. Lennie's constant reaffirmation from George shows that he has to get approval from his brother in order to go on. His hopes are always the comfort zone he returns to, what makes him happy. When George approves of them, Lennie is completely reassured and content.
A bond of friendship similar to George and Lennie's can evoke one's dreams and ambitions. When man is connected to another individual, the companionship sparks the candle of hope. When George and Lennie talk about their dreams, George gets worked up and spills his heart and soul into his speech: "'With us it ain't like that. We got a future. We got somebody to talk to that gives a damn about us. We don't have to sit in no bar room blowin' our jack jus' because we got no place else to go...But not us' " (14). George's force and emphasis displayed through his wording shows that he really believes that one day, his dream will come true. When talking to Lennie, there is a sparkle in George's eyes; Lennie is the hope that fuels George. The circumstances that the characters are placed in place a doubt in their source of hope: "They looked at one another, amazed. This thing they had never really believed in was coming true... [George's] eyes were full of wonder.'I bet we could swing her.' He repeated softly" (60). George knows that as long as Lennie is around, he can keep dreaming, and not feel foolish about it. George simply wants a place to belong, and people with whom to belong. The farm represents the possibility of freedom, self-reliance, and protection from the outside world. Its high status makes the men long for it. George gets the feeling of belonging from Lennie, the bond of their brotherhood is strong enough to fight anything. The repeated discussions of the dream is understandable, since it is a total paradise for men who want to be controlling their own lives.
Hope is strengthened by the fixture of brotherhood, as proved by the relationship of Lennie and George. Steinbeck shows that their idolized dream becomes this untouchable fantasy that keeps them going. Lennie is George's driving force and George is Lennie's guidance, his mentor. Lennie is the representation of George's dreams, hidden with another man. Lennie is the dream; Lennie is the threat to success, and the anchor to it. Lennie makes the whole idea worthwhile. As John Lennon put it, there may not be many dreamers out there, but there are a few. Those few have a purpose, and those with a purpose will never give up. When men with hope have strong bonds, that reason to go on becomes inevitable. Goals make life worth it. And when there's a special friend to share them with, it makes it all the better.

KEY LARGO -- On July 14, 1992, aquanaut Richard Presley surfaced from a lagoon in Key Largo, ecstatic to see the colors, the sun and all these palm trees after 69 days and 19 minutes of living in the sea.
It was a world record.
There was hope the effort would spark renewed interest in underwater habitats, which exploded onto the world scene in the 1960s and 70s with more than 60 located in 17 countries but died off in the 1980s for lack of funding.
That didnt happen, and for the past 22 years, no one attempted to break Presleys record. Until now.
Two educators from a college in landlocked Tennessee one a 62-year-old Vietnam veteran turned biology professor and the other a 24-year-old adjunct professor plan to take the plunge Oct. 4 in the same Emerald Lagoon where Presley made history.
If all goes according to plan, Bruce Cantrell and Jessica Fain of Roane State Community College will re-emerge 72 days later from the 600-square-foot underwater habitat which also serves as the Jules Undersea Lodge with a new record.
More importantly, they hope to surface with the successful completion of their primary mission: to engage young people in marine biology and underwater exploration.
Were not conducting experiments; were not trying to discover any new species, Cantrell said. Our main goal is to be able to broadcast under the water to show kids what it is like and to get them excited that this science is real.
From the habitat, Cantrell will teach an online biology class to his students back at Roane State. And the duo will host a once-a-week live broadcast, available free online, on ocean topics. The feat should be easy considering that in 1995, ocean pioneers Scott Carpenter and Ian Koblick spoke from the habitat to astronaut Mike Gernhardt, who was aboard the space shuttle Endeavour.
The programs will feature experts and celebrity guests, including astronaut Buzz Aldrin, the second person to walk on the moon.
Buzz will talk about Mars and how we can learn more about exploring Mars by being in the weightlessness of the ocean, said Koblick, who owns the habitat and is founder of the Marine Resources Development Foundation, a partner in the project.
We are not doing this just to set a world record, which would just be a publicity stunt, Koblick said. I want to do this to get a message out about the status of our oceans. Thats why our program title is: Our Seas The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
Other program topics will include underwater archaeology, the Caribbeans lionfish invasion, the effects of climate change on the oceans and the success of coral restoration.
Koblick, of Key Largo, wrote the book Living and Working in the Sea. In 1969, he worked on the Tektite I mission, in which four U.S. Department of Interior scientists set what was then the saturated diving record of nearly 60 days in a federally funded underwater habitat in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Koblick also has lived under the sea several times; his longest stint was three weeks in Tektite in 1970. That was followed a few years later by a couple of two-week stints in La Chalupa Research Laboratory, which he developed and operated in more than 100 feet of water off the coast of Puerto Rico until funding ran out in 1976.
La Chalupa is now Jules Undersea Lodge. Koblick said he didnt know what had happened to the lab until he saw a movie that showed it virtually abandoned in Miami. He rescued it, placing it in the lagoon just offshore in only 21 feet of water. Hours-long decompression stops are not required to surface from that depth.
For their world record attempt, the Tennessee professors will have plenty of surface support from volunteers, who will buy their food, do their laundry and take out their garbage.
They know what theyre getting into. Cantrell has spent nearly 200 hours in the habitat, 24 hours at a time, for educational programs with the Marine Resources Development Foundation. He started coming to the marine facility 12 years ago for a teachers workshop. He later brought students. Fain has been coming to the facility for three years and has spent 80 hours in the habitat.
While its 600 square feet, nearly half of it is a wet room where SCUBA gear is put on and taken off. Theres only 320 square feet of living space, divided into two bedrooms and a common area.
It is surreal living there, like you are in a fishbowl, Fain said. Youve got fish swimming by the window looking at you.
She said the mental part of spending nearly 10 weeks in close quarters without sunshine will be as difficult as the physical part. It will not be a cakewalk, she said. We know we will get on each others nerves.
They will spend most of their time working on their weekly programs and the online class. They also will dive the lagoon, not to conduct science but to clean it.
Well be scrubbing the outside of the habitat, cleaning the windows and using a vacuum system to suck the algae out of the lagoon, Fain said.
Cantrell is a longtime member of the Cousteau Society, whose mission is to protect and explore the ocean world. In 1985, he attended Cousteaus 75th birthday party in Virginia.
Coincidentally, Fabian Cousteau, a grandson of the famed ocean explorer, is planning a 31-day saturation mission in the worlds only offshore underwater habitat that is still functioning Aquarius, also in Key Largo. It originally was scheduled for September and October of 2013, but was moved to November to avoid hurricane season, said Cousteau spokeswoman Amy Summers.
In November, Cousteaus complex mission was delayed again until the early spring, due in part to science and film permits that were held up during the government shutdown," according to a Mission 31 press release.
In February, it was announced that mobile communications giant Nokia had become the lead sponsor of the mission, projected to cost about $1.8 million. The mission will not splash down this spring, delayed this time due to problems scheduling Aquarius, but a new date will be announced soon, Summers said.
Koblicks mission has a much lower budget. Hes looking for national sponsors to cover the estimated $250,000 cost of his mission. Hes got one in mind that he thinks would be a great fit: Papa Johns Pizza. After all, he said, They already deliver to the habitat.

It is amazing to find Indian tax laws, which talk tough to non-residents abroad, making a tame surrender to non-residents (such as FIIs) admittedly earning and receiving their income in India.
The origin of the current tension between the Western world (custodians of technology) and the developing world (custodians of huge population and who thus constitute the emerging markets for the former) is the source rule of taxation supported by the UN Model of taxing a non-resident. This is at odds with the OECD model that gives primacy to the resident rule of taxation.
In simple terms, the source rule sets store by the nexus principle — if the non-resident has had any direct or indirect connection with India pro tanto, his income would be taxable in India. Pursuant to this rule, India taxes the income received and earned abroad by a non-resident to the extent it is attributable to the presence of a selling agent in India for its products or services.
More daringly, India taxes the royalty income of foreign companies without having to prove any business connection in India. The very fact that such royalty has been paid for using them in India to earn any income is sufficient to tax the foreign company, and the Indian resident is required to deduct tax at source from such royalty.
Over-reach and retreat
The Indian Government went overboard when it tried to reach out to a non-resident's salary from his employer abroad by saying that salary is earned where the services are rendered. This gave rise to the ludicrous spectacle of an expert from a petroleum company from the US, dousing the oil fire raging in India, being called upon to pay tax on the salary that he got from his employer abroad — to the extent it related to the period he was dousing the Indian fire.
There was a howl of protest following this and similar instances of overreach and the Indian Government had to retreat by saying that a foreign technician's stay in India up to 90 days will not give rise to any tax liability in India on his foreign income.
The 'emperor' (read the US) struck back with a resident-based taxation while signing the double-taxation avoidance treaty with India.
Thus, for example, a US airline company does not pay income tax in India, no matter how much cargo it lifts from the Indian airports or how many passengers it takes off with from the Indian airports. It pays income tax in its home country on Indian income as well. Which one is fairer — the source-rule-based or resident-rule-based taxation?
Well, the answer would depend upon the country whose cause you are championing or espousing. The government, whose subjects earn substantial income from their products and services abroad, would obviously espouse the cause of resident rule-based taxation.
On the other hand, a country such as India, which depends considerably on foreign technology and capital, would plump for source rule-based taxation. The source rule of taxation that is being demonised by the Western world is not without a rationale. What is wrong in India saying that if you earn any income abroad, thanks to a business connection in India, you willy-nilly have to cough up tax in India — the argument proffered by the Indian tax administration before the Bombay High Court successfully in the Vodafone case, that, however, did not find favour with the apex court?
The US government intuitively would plump for the source rule-based taxation, should the air-traffic volume turn in favour of Indian airline companies — they picking up more traffic from the US airports than the US airline companies picking up traffic from the Indian ports.
Chickening out at home
In this context, it is amazing to find Indian tax laws, which talk tough to the non-residents abroad, making a tame surrender to non-residents admittedly earning and receiving their income in India.
The reference is to the copious share market gains made by the FIIs since 1992 till date by being allowed to operate in the Indian bourses.
They have been spared of any tax liability in India on the specious plea that what they earn in India is capital gains that is immune from Indian tax if the earner happens to be a resident of Mauritius.
In the first place, the income earned by them is, by no stretch of imagination, capital gains. It is business income, pure and simple.
The counter to this argument is business income presupposes existence of a permanent establishment in India.
In this day and age, one does not need a permanent establishment to operate in the Indian bourses. Communication and computing facilities are so advanced that one can do business in India of buying and selling shares from the comfort of one's office in another country.
And why should India give foreigners such a wide berth to avoid tax by entering into a patently invidious tax treaty that has tax evasion writ large on it?
It is amazing to find commentators and editors springing to the defence of the Indo-Mauritius treaty in the context of India's attempt at writing in anti-tax evasion measures.
It doesn't redound to any country's credit to accelerate foreign investment through a surreptitious route that encourages even residents to don the robes of a foreigner.
The short point is while India has every right to bristle at any suggestion of demonisation of the source rule, it should retrospect honestly about the wisdom and desirability of letting off foreign income earned in India from taxation.

Maryvale police warning against random gunfire
Officers went door-to-door Thursday afternoon in the Maryvale area to warn residents about random gunfire.
The officers handed our flyers and described the dangers of firing a weapon randomly just a few days before New Year's Eve, when some celebrate by firing a gun into the air.
In 1999, 14-year-old Shannon Smith was standing in her central Phoenix backyard, talking on the phone to her best friend, when random gunfire killed her.
After her death, Smith's parents successfully pushed for a law making it a felony to randomly fire a gun.

Wasps go to France on the back of disappointing news that centre Lee Thomas will miss the rest of the season having ruptured his Achilles in Exeter last weekend.
Young said: "We are bitterly disappointed to lose Lee who was really starting to find his feet in a Wasps shirt. I thought he was excellent against Leicester and played very well against Exeter until he was forced off and it's a big blow to lose him for so long. We really feel for him as I know he was thoroughly enjoying his first few months here but we will have to focus on getting him back fit and ready for next season. He is a good character and once he is over the disappointment of being injured he'll be an important guy to have around with all of his experience."
Young oversaw a trip to Bayonne last season where he watched his perform well but just come up short and he believes the trip this weekend will be just as big a challenge.
"It's always hard to go to France and get a result because the French teams are so strong at home. There is huge quality in their squad and they will back themselves at home to get a result again this year against on their own turf. There are some world-class stars in their team and if we give them an inch they have the ability to really hurt us. But if we can go there and get a result it would be huge and it would set us up very well for the return leg next Thursday night."
Wasps sit a point clear at the top of the group and with clashes to come against Mogliano and Newport Gwent Dragons, Young is taking nothing for granted.
"Mogliano at home is a game we will be targeting a bonus point in but the away game at Rodney Parade is a tricky contest. We can't get ahead of ourselves and think about those games in January yet though – there's a big job to do against Bayonne over the next week."

Flow of Dry Foam in a Pipe
M. Divakaran[1], S. K. Gupta[1]
[1]Department of Chemical Engineering, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, Karnataka, India
Due to the coupling of foam flow with foam generation step, the earlier studies on foam flow have not led to consistent results. An increase in flow rate to obtain ?P vs. Q data changes the foam under investigation itself. The controlled experiments carried out earlier in our group show that ?P increases with flow rate as Q^2/3, a weaker dependence than that known for laminar flow or plug flow ...

Tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) is a gas widely employed in industry, which can under specific circumstances experience an exothermic dimerization to octafluorocyclobutane. If the heat generated by this reaction cannot be dissipated to the surroundings, the temperature inside the reactor will continue rising, leading to conditions where TFE can decompose in tetrafluoromethane and carbon black. This ...

Injured soldiers enjoy day of fishing
8:03am Wednesday 12th September 2012 in News By Morwenna Blake
A GROUP of injured services personnel who are recovering at Tedworth House in Tidworth enjoyed a day's fishing alongside members of Salisbury Angling Club on Tuesday.
The club's members have been acting as mentors for the soldiers at events designed to give them a break from military and hospital routine, with another such occasion held in June.
Club members have donated items of fishing tackle and more came from the charity Fishing for Forces, which is now available at Tedworth House for future use.

The majority of my experiences with the crew were outstanding. However, some of the younger crew didn't get the concept of a library being quiet, so there were some rambunctious conversations that were really annoying.
The food was good. Typical NCL quality on the buffet, though a bit monotonous. However, there was suckling pig on the last evening. Outstanding! The specialty restaurants were quite good and ran the spectrum of "meh" to exceptional; with the Lazy J on the "meh" end (I don't understand why it's the most expensive. I could have cooked a similar meal myself.) and Jefferson's Bistro on the exceptional end. I also attended the Chef's Table event, which was fantastic. The chef was very approachable and willing to share her recipes. The Cauliflower Flan in Asparagus Cream was to die for!
Because I'm an early riser/retirer, I didn't see a lot of the entertainment, so I can't comment on it.
Being an early person, I tend to eat dinner early, so I wish the happy hours were earlier than 5:30. If you are a martini fan, you must go to the Pink Champagne bar. They have 20+ infusions of vodka. Try the coffee bean flavored one; trust me, it's awesome.

Volunteer: Jim Hamilton
Originally from Alexander City, Alabama, graduated from University of the South (Sewanee) in 1993 and started Peace Corps service later that year as an Agroforestry Extension Agent in rural Paraguay. After completing service, got an MS in Forestry at Auburn University in 1998 and returned to Paraguay to serve as a Peace Corps Trainer in 1999. Received PhD in Forestry from NC State in 2004. After 2 years serving as an Extension Agent in North Carolina, taught forestry undergrads at Alabama A&M University and at Haywood Community College until 2010. Currently a "County Extension Director" in Boone, North Carolina. Have 2 sons, Cristian and Lucas, and my wife Silvi--originally from Argentina. Learning Spanish had its benefits :) I still think about Paraguay everyday and teach my kids the Guarani words I remember!! Che Rohayhu Paraguay!
Contributions from Jim Hamilton
At the end of training, the beekeepers were doing bee-beards and invited all interested parties to participate. The fun part was getting them off!
Sitting on top of the newly erected frame for my house. Wood, nails, wire, some string, rope, a hammer, crosscut saw, sweat, bamboo, and straw were the only ingredients. Six of the neighbors had the one-room mansion up in 2 days!
It was incredibly rewarding to have the opportunity to return to Paraguay 7 years after COS'ing...to see how kids had grown and to see projects still in the ground and to reunite with old friends. Mario Espinola and his family were the best neighbors anyone could have.
Road Trip Altitude Hell
Driving from sea level to 15,000 feet in an afternoon to camp out at Parque Nacional Lauca (in Chile on travel leave) was a bad idea. After suffering a night of miserable altitude headaches and freezing Atacama Desert air, Greg Mason and I got a Park Guard to snap this photo before heading back 'down the mountain.'
Sra Teodosia had a contagious laugh that could be heard a distance away. I snapped this picture before cow's head went into the cauldron.
Family Portrait
This picture of Rogelio Martinez and his wonderful family was taken during a family outing to a nearby river running through some of the last remaining forests in my site.
At the "inauguration" party for my newly constructed house, my counterpart and his family flew our flags.
Teeth-Brushing 101
Although I was an Agroforestry volunteer, I helped out my nearest cohort, Erin, with health programs at a community school that was centrally located in the community of Santo Domingo, Guaira, Paraguay. My hometown dentist had sent down a duffel bag full of toothbrushes and toothpaste, so we decided to do a dental health program. Saw lots of bloody mouths and had to keep numerous kids from eating toothpaste like candy, but it was a great day.

Full moon, easterly winds lead to ocean fishMonday, March 16th, 2009
Last week's full moon brought some prized fish for offshore anglers, and easterly winds are spurring catches of dolphin.
Wahoo struck trolled baits on the Geno IV charter boat based in Lantana. Captain Geno Pratt said his customers caught six wahoo on March 8 while trolling bonito strips and mullet in 120 to 140 feet north of Boynton Inlet.
On March 9, Scott Guerrieri, Tom Mayes Jr. and friends on the CeCe caught a swordfish estimated at 200 pounds while fishing with squid in 1,600 feet about a mile north of Lake Worth Inlet. The swordfish hit at 5:30 p.m.
The next full moon is April 9.
Spring-like weather is bringing changes to offshore fishing patterns, too.
Southeast winds resulted in catches of dolphin Saturday afternoon in 120 to 170 feet southeast of Jupiter Inlet for anglers fishing with captain Jim Barton on the Country Club drift boat.
Barton said his anglers boated nine dolphin up to 25 pounds on drifted, double-hooked sardines after the wind started blowing from the southeast Saturday afternoon. Barton said he didn't catch a dolphin until the wind direction changed.
Small kingfish are scattered in the waters off Jupiter Inlet, Barton said, but the big schools of kings that usually visit the coast of Palm Beach County in the spring have yet to arrive.

Fat Guy Fake Punt Hurdling Touchdown!
Kent crushed Ohio 44-13 in Athens tonight, but the highlight for all who tuned in for #MACtion was this 61-yard fake punt by Nate Terhune, a 6'4" 265 lb. defensive lineman who played up-back on the punt team and made the most of his opportunity—hurdling a Bobcat return teamer en route to the end zone. »

Endless Options Silk Scarf 13 13
Endless Options Silk Scarf The color is perfect for summer. This silk scarf is also perfect for that quick trip out of town, as it's so light it does not take up any space in the suitcase. July 31, 2014
Beautiful! Gorgeous purple, lightweight but warm when you need it and cool when it's hot! Love it! July 31, 2014
NICE The scarf is beautiful and plenty long. Goes nicely with lots of shirts, sweaters, tops. May 22, 2014
scarves solid color and very fine material. watch the sample colors are a bit deceptive. May 5, 2014
Perfect Silk Scarf This is the perfect ultra sheer scarf. Very well made. My only regret is that I did not buy this in the true RED that was featured previously. The charcoal is actually a Taupe and seems to change colors depending on what it is paired with, I love it!!. I would buy more colors if they where available and also prints in this sheer silk. Travelsmith-can you bring back the RED please? August 31, 2012
Frustration This item is pictured and described as ruby red. It looks and is labeled burgundy. I do not want burgundy. I returned it and was assured that I would be sent one that was ruby red. Instead a received a second burgundy colored scarf. Who is staffing your order department?????? April 22, 2014
Beautiful Scarf I bought this scarf in red and it is gorgeous. Light & airy, great feel. January 12, 2011
Too much black in color This is a lovely scarf, but be aware of two things: 1) it's extremely fine, delicate chiffon & snags easily, so be very careful with it. More importantly: 2) Although the description & photos would have you believe that the colors are brilliant, they're mostly black with a touch of whatever color you order. I first ordered Ruby & got a slightly reddish black, not the pop of crimson I was expecting, so I exchanged it for Peacock, which turned out to be a slightly greenish black. In direct sunlight, I can see a bit more green, but in electric light, it's black. Pretty scarf, but Black might be your best bet. December 30, 2012

In Their Own Words
Aug 17, 2009
"Some impoverished countries, such as Sri Lanka, have succeeded stunningly well at saving mothers simply because they have tried. But foreign aid donors like the United States have never shown much interest in maternal mortality, and impoverished women are typically the most voiceless, neglected people in their own countries – so they die at astonishing rates… Thankfully, there is the dawn of a global movement against maternal mortality… My dream is that Barack and Michelle Obama will leap forward and adopt this cause…"
--Nicholas D. Kristof, "Crisis in the Operating Room," New York Times, July 30, 2009
"We've seen this tragic ritual so often that it has the feel of a formula. A guy is filled with a seething rage toward women and has easy access to guns. The result: mass slaughter… One of the striking things about mass killings in the U.S. is how consistently we find that the killers were riddled with shame and sexual humiliation, which they inevitably blamed on women and girls. The answer to their feelings of inadequacy was to get their hands on a gun (or guns) and begin blowing people away… But we should take particular notice of the staggering amounts of violence brought down on the nation's women and girls each and every day for no other reason than who they are. They are attacked because they are female… We would become much more sane, much healthier, as a society if we could bring ourselves to acknowledge that misogyny is a serious and pervasive problem, and that the twisted way so many men feel about women, combined with the absurdly easy availability of guns, is a toxic mix of the most tragic proportions."
