|Residents rallied following storm
Letter to the Editor:
Last Tuesday, July 9, our lake frontage on Big Stone Lake was hit by tornado-like wind around 6 p.m. We had just returned from celebrating July 4 in Three Lakes to our other home in Brookfield when our neighbor called us with the bad news.
They were kind enough to send us some pictures of what was happening by email. We were shocked as the damage to our shoreline was horrific. Our ski boat was lifted through the boat lift canopy and was floating across the channel. Our pontoon boat was also rolled across the lake and was floating upside down in another area of the lake.Dock sections and the pontoon boat parts lie floating in the area between Big Stone and Laurel lakes channel. Other personal property was thrown from shore and inside contents of the boats were mingled in what one neighbor described as a floating debris field.
We sat devastated and in shock as we were helpless to do anything to salvage what was left. But what are neighbors for?
It seemed anyone who saw or knew of the destruction rallied to our aid. People came on personal watercraft, in fishing boats, ski boats, on foot, and immediately began a huge salvage effort on our behalf. Whatever could be saved was either placed on our shoreline or recovered and added to what was left of our boats and lifts.
Their efforts were quickly joined by first responders from the Three Lakes Police and Fire departments along with Department of Natural Resources officials.
Thankfully, no one was injured and the cleanup efforts prevented any later damage to watercraft passing through the channel area. Whatever could be returned, was returned as well. We are so thankful.
Writing this a day after returning from actually viewing the wreckage and talking to those involved, we realize what a tremendous effort was needed to salvage the boats and lifts.
The pontoon recovery was surely the toughest, as it had to be brought to shore and hoists used to flip it back over. We especially want to recognize Four Seasons Marine, who not only recovered our pontoon boat, but was thoughtful enough to drive their truck to our cottage, get its trailer and loaded the ski boat on to it, which obviously couldn't be started. And today, Friday, both boats were already at Watercraft Marine and they were handling the insurance adjusters for us.
Being avid readers of this newspaper, we certainly realize just how far apart residents can be on many community issues. However, when it came time to help a fellow resident in dire straits, it didn't matter if one was a bird watcher or an all-terrain vehicle proponent, everyone worked together. Once again, the people of Three Lakes have proven that we do have the Best Small Town in America.

It has been hard for Eagles fans to watch the meteoric rise of Giants DE Jason Pierre-Paul, now a Super Bowl champion, from raw junior-college prospect to Pro Bowl talent in two seasons. The frustrating irony is that when the Eagles chose DE Brandon Graham with the 14th pick in the 2010 draft, they did so believing he was a far more polished and game-ready player than Pierre-Paul, who went to the Giants with the next pick. GM Howie Roseman said the Eagles still very much believe in Graham, whose career has been derailed so far by injuries, as a player who will thrive. "We have high expectations for Brandon Graham. He's still a young guy," Roseman said. "He had a high ankle sprain; defensive lineman with a high ankle sprain, that's a tough injury. Then obviously he had a major knee injury, and that takes a lot of time to get back. We knew this year was going to be a struggle for him. He's trying to be the kind of player that we know and he knows he can be and he sees that out there and he wants more for himself."

Thousands Honor Slain Officers At Tacoma Dome Memorial
A procession of 2,000 cars followed the flag-draped caskets of four slain police officers to a memorial service Tuesday as thousands of mourners, mostly members of law enforcement from across the country, lined the streets.
At the memorial inside the Tacoma Dome, the four officers were remembered by loved ones left behind -- as heroes who will never be forgotten.
"He was a leader that was dedicated to learning tactics," said Tukwila Assistant Chief Mike Villa, who worked with Sgt. Mark Reninger. "He pushed himself to excellence, but also pushing the team to achieve at the highest level and be successful in every mission. He had a natural abililty for tactics, teamwork and making split-second, good decisions in the most stressful situations."
Officer Ronald Owen's sister Ronda LeFrancois recalled with fondness the days of growing up with her younger brother.
"Growing up, Ronnie always wanted to go into law enforcement, following in my dad's footsteps. They were like two peas in a pod. I know they are together in heaven."
"We believe things happen for a reason," said officer Tina Griswold's friend and city of Lakewood employee Pamela Battersby. "In Ecclesiastes 3:11 it says, 'He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men, yet they can not fathom what God has done from beginning to end.' We don't know why this terrible thing has happened. But it's a time that's brought us all together. Continue this closeness. Look into your hearts to see what you can do to be a better person, mother, father, child, husband, wife or friend. Please don't let the memory of these four officers die here."
In one of the more emotionally touching moments, the three children of Officer Greg Richards paid tribute to their father in a written eulogy read by all three.
"He taught us to use the importance of having good friends," said daughter Jami-Mae Richards, "and of being one, especially to his fellow officers. My dad knew how to spot good people and how to value them always."
"We were always Number One, even when he became a policemen with Kent. His friends said that he was a family man first, a cop second," said Richards' oldest son, Austin.
Austin Richards also told the thousands in attendance at the memorial that his father never let the stresses of being a police officer affect him at home with his family.
"It didn't change him either," Austin said. "He didn't become more hardened or angry, just thankful. Our little brother says he didn't even hate the people he had to arrest. I guess he didn't see the point of anger. It was always more important for my dad to laugh, which he did a lot."
Lori Lightfoot, a police detective from Fresno, Calif., was among officers who traveled from as far away as New York, Chicagoand Canada to remember Sgt. Mark Renninger and Officers Ronald Owens, Tina Griswold, and Greg Richards.
Lightfoot and Sheila Chandler, also a Fresno detective, said the deaths of the four Lakewood officers brought back memories of fourOakland police officers killed during a traffic stop and a shootout in March.
"It's just disbelief," Lightfoot said. "It's unbelievable that it could happen again."
The Lakewood officers were killed Nov. 29 before the start of their shift. Authorities say Maurice Clemmons singled them out andspared employees and other customers at the coffee shop in Parkland, a Tacoma suburb about 35 miles south of Seattle.
Clemmons was shot to death last week by a Seattle police officer after a two-day manhunt. Prosecutors said he received help fromfamily and friends, and seven people have been arrested.
Several candlelight vigils have been held for the officers since the shooting, but Tuesday's memorial service and procession isbelieved to be the largest in state history.
Thousands of people lined the streets around the Tacoma Dome, where 20,000 people were expected to attend the service.
The officers' family and friends served as pallbearers, carrying the coffins inside.
In addition to eulogies from family, friends and public officials, mourners will watch a video tribute to the officers.
Floral arrangements lined the stage, as well as two motorcycles, a drum set and a NASCAR race car.
Gov. Chris Gregoire, who also spoke at the service, has directed that flags at all state facilities be lowered to half-staffTuesday.
The memorial service was delayed more than an hour because of the large law enforcement procession. Roads surrounding the venueand along the route were shut down for several hours.
Additional space for the public to view telecasts of the service was made available at the University of Washington Tacoma, PacificLutheran University and the Christian Faith Center in Federal Way.Copyright © 2014, The Morning Call

By GEORGE HENRYAssociated Press
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - Quarterback Aaron Murray sees no reason why Georgia's offense can't surpass the big numbers it posted last year.
The Bulldogs return all but one starter from a team that set a school record in scoring and finished 12-2 to rank fifth in The Associated Press' final poll.
With Georgia's spring game one week away, Murray believes depth at each position will pay dividends as several starters and role players are learning new positions and accepting more responsibility.
Malcolm Mitchell, Georgia's most talented receiver, has switched from flanker to split end following the departure of longtime starter Tavarres King.
Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall, who comprise 1 of the nation's top tandems at tailback, are concentrating on pass protection and communication skills to give others a chance to run the ball.

Just bought this machine after purchasing Breville juicer. Have to say that I am very impressed with quality and design of both units.
They have a nice eye for design and good sense of functionality. I like to buy for both reasons and they seems to be able to balance both nicely.
Great machine and coffee maker, but after few months I lost the manual and now I have a problem with the machine, blinking all the time lost control no responc=se , do not know what to do my warrenty expied (over a year now), can someone help with my case?
I've been searching for the "perfect coffee maker" for quite some time and have purchased a number of name brand machines along the way. I believe my search is now over as this particular Brewer is clearly meeting my expectations, even surpassing them. Each cup is brewed quickly, the temperature is perfect and the brew quality is fantastic. One of the best options this Brewer features is the choice of using a K-cup or the filter for loose packed coffee - this option simply allows you to choose whatever coffee brand you desire. I've had some very high-end machines in the past and this Brewer out-does all of them..by far!!
Do not like the color of the backlit LCD lights.In all your pictures they show blue which they are not.. The blue was very subdued. The color you have now is very harsh. Cuisinart and Keurig still have the blue color.I must say the 700series is far superior to the 600 series.
I recently upgraded from a Keurig B70 brewer and am really happy I did. The Breville brewer is SILENT compared to the Keurig product. It also brews faster and is a much more attractive machine. The included filter and My K-Cup with integrated storage make this product a better choice for my kitchen.
The Coffee Maker has a great design,it is quiet and most important FAST.
Have only had the machine a couple of days, but like the taste of the coffee from it. Am using the "my k-cup" to use Folgers, as I like that brand, and wish they had it available in k-cups. Would like to find another type of mild coffee, but am resistant to buy a box of 18 if I don't like it. Other than that, a GREAT machine.
Great machine looks real nice, makes excellent coffee ..... However is it real noisy when it's ready to brew a cup. The whole unit just vibrates. For that kind of money I would expect silence as advertised. So for that I am disappointed.
could not be happier with this machine. Simple, easy to use and perfect coffee EVERY cup. Even with the folgers(which I find to be vile tasting...this coffee maker makes it taste like gourmet coffee. Lotsa flavours for everyone's taste. Only problem...now I'm drinking more coffee

Why Obama Should Support Fully Seating MI/FL
by alvernon, Wed May 28, 2008 at 09:01:22 PM EDT
When the RBC meets on Saturday it looks like they will cut the MI and FL delegations in half (or give them half votes). I believe that this is the worst possible outcome for Barack Obama. Herewith are several reasons why Obama should support Hillary's request to have the delegations seated in full.

text: iPad 2 hands-on: Photos and opinion 03 March 11 Tweet iPad 2 photoNate Lanxon Nate Lanxon Editor of Wired.co.uk Follow @NateLanxon Last night, Apple unveiled the iPad 2. As should come as minimal surprise, Wired.co.uk was there to play with it first-hand.The first thing you'll notice about the iPad 2 is, of course, its refined design. No changes have been made to screen size or resolution, but its thinner, lighter body is noticeably more comfortable to hold with one hand than its predecessor. I found that my left hand was jealous of the right, as it was no longer required. I'll still keep it around for touchscreen duties, however.So it's a gorgeous-feeling device, and I'm fairly sure the area of the brain that increases in activity when you cuddle a kitten went into overdrive for me when I got my hands on it. But that's what Apple does best, and it's of modest importance.The first actual feature addition of note is the incorporation of twin cameras -- one on the front, one of the back. These are lenses built primarily for video calling to Macs and iPhones with FaceTime, and for capturing short video clips. When I was giving them time with my own face, they were ideal for such use, but they are by no means going to replace even the most modest of digital still cameras. My face is highly demanding, and requires higher resolutions in order to smile.You can capture up to 720p HD video using the rear camera though, and Apple's new iMovie video processing app for the iPad offered a simple, but very capable multi-timeline editing tool. Sadly, you'll still need a PC or Mac to load other clips onto the iPad, as you can't connect a camcorder directly to the tablet. This is a pretty big disappointment in my opinion as it means, for video sharing at least, you won't be leaving the laptop at home on holiday. It might be a "post-PC" device according to Steve Jobs, but the iPad isn't replacing PCs just yet.Next: music. I play both the piano and the drums, so I was extremely keen to see what GarageBand for iPad played like on the new iPad, particularly as it apparently uses the device's accelerometer to determine how hard you're tapping the on-screen instruments. And it works.More importantly, I noticed a complete lack of delay (latency) between pressing a piano key and hearing its sound. On existing iPad musical apps, this is not the case and it's a good job GarageBand solves that problem. It also offers a range of keyboards, pianos, drum kits and guitars, wrapped in a typically-Apple UI. Thus, the ability to record, edit and mix multiple instruments, and even record your own samples, was compelling in its simplicity. But I'll say this: you are not going to be recording anything you'll want to sell on iTunes on the iPad. (Though I suspect it won't be too long before a popstar releases one as a PR stunt. Probably Bieber, the squeaking little arse.) However, as a musician, I can absolutely see myself using the iPad's musical tool as a means of recording song ideas -- musical note-taking, if you will. Often I find myself coming up with an idea for a piano riff when I'm sat on a plane or a train, but short of humming into my computer, that tune is digested along with an in-flight wine. Perhaps that'll change now. Read page 2 12 Read on one page Comments I'm sure Damon Albarn is making an album solely on an ipad? Tom Walker Mar 5th 2011 In reply to Tom Walker He did:http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/27/gorillaz-ipad-album-now-available-as-are-the-apps-used-to-make/ Steve Edwards Mar 6th 2011 In reply to Tom Walker He already has done: The Fall by Gorillaz was released on Christmas day 2010. Joe Stone Mar 6th 2011 No usb? Not for me. Can anybody explain me why the insist on not putting usb ports??I don´t get it. Sebastian Mar 5th 2011 In reply to Sebastian tl;dr: USB ports are something computers have. If you want a computer, Apple will sell you a computer. If you want an iPad, Apple will sell you an iPad. If you want an iPad with a USB port, you'll have to compromise either on the USB part or the iPad part. I wouldn't expect that to change, personally.Longer answer - it's partly aesthetics and form factor, partly power drain, partly control of the ecosystem.Battery life is one of the iPad's big selling points, as is ease of use for non-technical people. If it had a powered USB port, non-technical people would complain because their iPad was getting shorter battery life than advertised, not realising that they are also using it to power a USB device. If it had an unpowered USB port, non-technical people would complain because they had plugged something with a USB plug into their iPad's USB port and it wasn't working. That's before you get onto drivers and compatibility.Philosophically, the adaptor is a camera adaptor that happens to use a USB port, not a USB adaptor. It's meant for plugging in a self-powered camera, reviewing photos and shifting them over to iPhoto - not for powering a USB drive or a microphone.Ultimately, it's a question of Apple's product logic. If you want to move large amounts of data to and from your device, record on a USB microphone, habitually rock a hard keyboard or mouse or have your whole iTunes library available all the time in a small form factor, the logic goes, you ought to buy a Macbook Air. If you want anything like full USB functionality on an iPad, a) you are a vanishingly small part of the buying audience and b) you should use a powered hub, so the rest of the audience doesn't get bad ideas about what the dock connector is for - it's primarily for synchronisation and power in, not for peripherals or power out. From Apple's industrial design point of view, anything like full USB functionality would be punishing the much larger community who would rather have the extra slimness, battery life and simplicity of operation. Daniel Nye Griffiths Mar 18th 2011 "The first thing you'll notice about the iPad 2 is, of course, it's refined design"It's disappointing that such a high quality publication lets such a grammatical error through its editorial process. Paul Mar 6th 2011 I thought you can by an "add on" that allows you to use SD cards with the new iPad. My guess is that this is to not annoy the existing ipad users that have been missing some way of doing this for so long,ohh and a nice little cash generator for Apple when everyone has to by the SD attachment! Renaman Mar 7th 2011 The SD card attachment works on the current IPAD, as does the camera DPOF interface. Kevin Mar 7th 2011 "No usb?" Sounds like what everybody said when they first dropped floppy disc drives on macs. Luke Mar 11th 2011 In reply to Luke Are you really implying that usb is equivalent to floppy disks at this point? Good one. GOB Mar 14th 2011 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I am thrilled about the Ipad syndrome. The Ipad lower screen resolution, the lack of USB, the lack of a real keyboard still won't make me sell my ASUS 12" 1215N laptop (complete with a 1.8ghz cpu, 3 USB, 12" widescreen LCD) and invest in an Ipad.

Beef exports have doubled in three years between 2008 and 2011 and are set to scale further heights. In 2011, India edged out the US as the third largest exporter of beef.
Buffalo meat, known as carabeef in the global market, is shipped out of the country as beef. Technically, buffalo meat is treated as beef export. Though questions are being raised whether all consignments shipped are buffalo meat, official sources say that 99 per cent of the shipments are buffalo meat.
Moving up the list
This year, the US Department of Agriculture says, India is all set to end as the top beef exporter. India could export 1.5 million tonnes of beef compared with 1.28 million tonnes last year. This marks a significant growth since 2009 when 0.61 million tonnes were shipped from the country. (See Table)
"India is forecast to become the world's leading beef exporter in 2012 due to an expanding dairy herd, efficiency improvements, increased slaughter and price-competitiveness in the international market particularly vis-à-vis Brazil," the USDA said in its report in April.
"Indian buffalo meat is rising due to its competitiveness. Global buyers are also assured of our quality," said Dr Tarun Bajaj, General Manager, Livestock Products, Agricultural and Processed Food Exports Development Authority (Apeda).
"International demand is rising and the growth rate in Australia, Europe and the US is static," said Dr Bajaj.
"We exported Rs 8,000 crore-worth beef in 2010-11 and it could have easily topped Rs 13,000 crore last fiscal," said the Apeda official. (Full details of 2011-12 exports are not available yet). Though there has been a drop in the value in the rupee, Mr Bajaj said it could at the most contribute an additional Rs 1,000 crore.
Global scenario
According to the USDA, global beef production in 2012 is likely to be 57 million tonnes, up marginally over 56.8 million tonnes produced in 2011.
Exports, on the other hand, will likely be a record 8.7 million tonnes fuelled by India, Columbia, Australia and New Zealand.
"India's beef production is projected at 3.5 million tonnes based on an expanding dairy herd, increased slaughter and price-competitiveness in the global meat market compared to Brazil. As exports account for 44 per cent of production, growth in exports underpins production increases," said the department.
According to 2007 livestock census, buffalo makes up one-third of the bovine herd in the country.
Buffalo is preferred to cow due to its adaptability to climatic conditions and high milk fat content as dairy production is fuelling the bovine sector. Since slaughter of cow is banned, beef production is driven by buffalo slaughter which is allowed. However, the slaughter is restricted to males and unproductive females.
"We are experiencing good growth in the Gulf, Africa and the Far-East," said Dr Bajaj. "Our exports are rising since we have surplus meat. Also, our people due to rise in their income are shifting to lamb and other meat products, including poultry," he said.
Pushing down Brazil
The USDA said Indian export have made inroads in West Asia, North Africa and South-East Asia, which is a key market for Brazil, as buffalo meat is priced lower in the price sensitive markets and is produced according to halal standards (meat prepared as prescribed by Islamic dietary law).
On the other hand, Brazil, which is seeing a constant decline in its beef exports, is dogged by shrinking availability of lands for grazing due to expansion in sugarcane and soyabean cultivation. Higher transport costs to get the produce to the ports are adding to the cattle sector woes.

Sounds like Schwenke will miss the entire week with hamstring injury Titans&src=hash">#Titans— Jim Wyatt (@jwyattsports) July 31, 2013
The Titans play their first preseason game a week from tomorrow. If Brian Schwenke is going to have a chance to win the starting center spot he really needs to be on the field for that game. I would say that is about 50/50 at this point.
If he can get back on the field early in the week he will have a chance. They haven't used the word "pull" yet when referring to the injury, so hopefully it is just a strain.

The Preparedness Team at the Idaho Department of Health & Welfare works collaboratively with the seven Public Health Districts to ensure Idahoans are ready to respond and recover when faced with a public health disaster. Public Health Preparedness is charged with equipping Idahoans with enough information to not only survive in an emergency, but to prepare before disaster even strikes. This website will provide education and resources for preparing for a number of Idaho-specific disasters.
During a public health emergency, but after you and your loved ones are safe, the Idaho 2-1-1 CareLine can provide you with up-to-date information regarding medical assistance, food and clothing, emergency sheltering, and more. PLUS, operators with the 2-1-1 CareLine provide FREE community information everyday, all day, even during non-emergencies!
The US Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration is here to HELP! "Disasters have the potential to cause emotional distress, stress, anxiety, and depression". It's important to know that these reactions are common and YOU ARE NOT ALONE! If you or a loved one is feeling depressed, suffering from anxiety or struggling after a disaster, call 1-800-985-5990 for FREE HELP! Or simply text 'TalkWithUs' to 66746 (standard data/text messaging rates may apply for the texting service).
Each of these potential threats could affect you and your community in a variety of forms. Natural disasters, such as earthquakes or flooding, can cause power outages, food shortages, and limit your access to healthcare and medications. In the event of a chemical or radiological disaster, you may need to shelter in place or even evacuate an area. You can learn more about the Idaho-specific public health threats and ways you can prepare for each emergency by clicking on any of the hazards above.
During a public health emergency, access to food, water, daily medications, and other resources may be limited. Individuals, families, businesses, and communities can prepare for all public health emergencies by following a few simple steps. Also, keep in mind that after a disaster in your area family and friends will be concerned with your safety. Keep them informed and let them know you're safe by visiting the American Red Cross Safe and Well website, a site designed to help give your loved one's peace of mind!
Get a kit. You should have a three day supply of:
*Note: Customize your kit to meet your family's needs, i.e. diapers, pet food and water, special needs, etc.
Make a Plan. You may not be with your family or loved ones during a public health emergency so:
Decide how you will contact one another,
Decide how you will get back together if separated,
Decide on plans for evacuating, if needed,
Identify an out-of-town contact and make sure everyone can get in touch with that person.
Be Informed. While creating an emergency preparedness kit and making a plan can lessen the impact of an emergency, it is important to learn about the types of emergencies that can occur in your area and to know the emergency plans at your work, your school, and around your community. Don't forget your emergency supply checklist provided by the Bureau of Homeland Security! You can also use an Emergency Go Bag flowchart to help you pack supplies in case of an emergency.
In an emergency, natural disaster, or public health incident, volunteers with the right training are invaluable. Volunteers are needed all across Idaho. Whether or not you have medical training, you can become an everyday hero by registering with the Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) in your area. Volunteer training is free. Join the Medical Reserve Corps by registering at: www.volunteeridaho.org. Volunteer Idaho is even on Facebook!
Formed in 2002, the MRC is a nationwide program comprised of private citizens, medical and public health professionals who sign up to serve as community volunteers during natural disasters, emergencies, and public health incidents.
In an emergency, the immediate deployment of emergency medical personnel is critical. However, such events can quickly overwhelm hospitals and health systems with individuals urgently in need of care. In addition, it is often difficult in the midst of a disaster to locate qualified volunteers and coordinate large volunteer efforts. The MRC was created to engage volunteers to strengthen public health preparedness, emergency response, and community resilience.
While doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals are a core part of the MRC, the MRC does not limit membership to those in the medical community. Individuals without medical training can fill essential supporting roles. Simply put, any citizen with an interest in helping keep their community prepared for an emergency is qualified to be in the MRC.
In the event of a disaster, you will receive an alert requesting volunteers. You will then have the chance to accept or decline the volunteer request. There is no obligation to participate in an activation.
In the event of a public health emergency, necessary resources at the state and local level may become quickly depleted. In an attempt to counter this depletion, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) houses large quantities of emergency medical supplies (i.e. antibiotics, antidotes, antitoxins, etc.) in numerous strategic locations throughout the U.S. These locations are designed to provide unique, rapid responses (sometimes as quickly as 12 hours after request) to areas that demonstrated the need for the supplies and requested them from the CDC. Through the collaborative preparedness efforts between the Idaho Department of Health & Welfare and the seven Public Health Districts (PHDs), each community in Idaho is prepared to receive and distribute the medicines and supplies shipped from the SNS.
If the supplies from the SNS are ever needed in Idaho each PHD will supply its region with access to medication by using Points of Dispensing, or PODs. These PODs have the ability to be set up quickly and require many trained volunteers, but ultimately focus on getting Idahoans the medications or supplies they need as quickly as possible.
Medicines given at the PODs are free;
The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare (IDHW) and the Idaho PHDs will announce when the PODs will open and will provide details about where the sites will be located throughout the affected area;
Federal, state, and local authorities are working together to ensure that sufficient supplies of SNS medicines will arrive quickly in an emergency and be available for everyone who needs them, and;
During the emergency, stay tuned to TV, radio, newspaper, and IDHW's website at www.healthandwelfare.idaho.gov for important instructions to protect you and your family.You will also be able to call 2-1-1 Idaho CareLine with any questions.

Kazakh free press is being censored into oblivion, but was it ever really free to begin with?
Kazakhstan, Media and InternetOne Comment
So, last week a court in Kazakhstan banned Stan.tv from operating on the charge of extremism — and in a few weeks, Astana shall ascend to the UN Human Rights Council. There's a full-on censorhip tsunami sweeping the country, taking out news agencies, websites, broadcasters, political parties and even the US Peace Corps, and one way or another, it seems the epicentre of the earthquake is in the 2011 Zhanoazen riots.
Of course, I don't want to diminish the huge concern the world should have about this situation, but at the same time, I don't want us captured by illusion either. "Free press" in Kazakhstan has always been a flexible, philosophical concept. As Freedom House (and others) note, "Kazakhstan's media outlets are privately owned but firmly under the control of major financial groups affiliated with the regime." In other words, the media is under the control of national elites, and what we on the outside see as "opposition" is frequently just disagreements and feuds between them (not to mention the fact that opposition and independence are not the same concept). This situation includes several of the agencies that have been recently drowned.
We should never forget that few regimes are as skilled at the spectacle of neo-liberalism as Kazakhstan's. The "opposition" voices that shall survive this tsunami will be those pre-selected/pre-filtered, thereby giving a veneer of modernization to the country. And in the aftermath, they shall all be sounding the same cry as on Kazakhstan's official new holiday, 1 December, "First President's Day", proclaiming: "One Country! One Destiny! One Leader!"

Great Family vacation
Thank you to Mike for being so helpful and accommodating. My family of 10 had a great time on our vacation. It was a challenge finding an elegant home that would fit all of us comfortably and I am thankful we found this home. The location was very convenient to all the fun places we went to and having the Publix supermarket so close made our many food runs that much manageable. We definitely recommend this home.

Although many people may not value the odoriferous qualities of onions, as a cardiologist I certainly value the fibrinolytic qualities of onions—that is, their ability to help promote thinner blood and break up blood clots, which are important factors in staving off heart disease.
What's more, onions also can help normalize blood pressure. When I was researching my book Lower Your Blood Pressure In Eight Weeks (Ballantine Books, 2003), I collected quite a bit of positive data on onions.
As the research on onions reveals, it is most likely the powerful antioxidant quercetin contained within onions that is the key to their heart-healthiness. Quercetin has been shown to significantly reduce high blood pressure in hypertensive patients. In one study, participants took 730 mg of quercetin daily for one month, and the group averaged a solid drop of seven systolic points and five diastolic points.
In another South African study, quercetin was given to salt-sensitive rats with induced hypertension. There was a significant blood pressure-lowering effect, most likely due to improved kidney function. The researchers suggested that quercetin may be worthwhile for people whose blood pressure is influenced by their salt intake.
In addition to lowering blood pressure, quercetin has also been shown to reduce inflammation in the body and block the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, which leads to clogged arteries.
Opt for Onions
For the biggest heart-health benefits, eat onions raw, as they retain their greatest medicinal punch before they are cooked. So slice them up and top off your salads, tuck them into your sandwiches, or just eat them along with other favorite foods. I think raw onions are delicious with sardines.
To work even more onions into your diet, look for new recipes that contain onions. In particular, many Italian, Spanish, French, and Greek dishes use onions liberally. And for super heart-healthy dishes, I always recommend combining onions with other ingredients that can help lower blood pressure, such as garlic and olive oil, as in the following tomato sauce recipe. (Get more heart-healthy recipes.)
Easy Italian-Style Tomato Sauce
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 2 medium onions
- 2 cans Italian-style plum tomatoes or 2 lbs. fresh plum or cherry tomatoes
- 2 Tbsp. red or white wine
- 1 Tbsp. chopped basil
- 1 tsp. fresh oregano leaves, crushed
- Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Pour the olive oil into a pan and saute the garlic and onions for 30 seconds to 1 minute. If you're using canned tomatoes, crush or chop them in a blender. For fresh tomatoes, chop them into small cubes. Add wine and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. The sauce will keep for up to 1 week, tightly covered, in the refrigerator.
Makes 6 servings.

Organic Economic Indicators
Looking for tangible signs that the recession is loosening its grip? Last week, major organic food producers, wholesalers, and retailers—who had taken hits during the meltdown as consumers lost their appetites for their pricey fare—announced heartening financial news.
A rundown:
●United Natural Foods, Inc., a wholesaler of natural and organic foods, saw its share price hit its highest level in more than three years.
●Whole Foods Market, Inc. reported that its earnings were the best "in several years" as sales for the quarter came in at more than twice what they were during the same period last year. Its stock is trading at nearly five times the 2008 low. Continue reading

The Environmental Audit is an essential tool for understanding the current environmental situation in your school. It will provide the basis for your Eco-Action Plan.
Why do an Environmental Audit?
Before you can begin to make improvements to your school, you need to know what the current environmental situation is. The Eco-Schools USA Environmental Review checklist can help to identify which of the pathways you should focus on, and which ones you may want to avoid as they require little or no improvement at your school. We recommend that you complete the checklist as a first step before completing one of more of the in-depth pathway audits.
The results of your pathway audit(s) will inform your Eco-Action Plan. Once you have determined what aspects need to be addressed, you can establish priorities and set realistic targets to measure your success.
How do we conduct the audit?
During an Eco-Action Team meeting complete the Environmental Review Checklist. Review your answers, and then as a team determine which of the pathway audits you would like to complete. The EA Team should be responsible for determining a strategy to implement the audit, and should work hard to include and keep the whole school informed about the process. It is particularly essential that students play a primary role in this audit. Don't forget that your greater school community is full of resource specialists that can also help with the audit.
Environmental Review Checklist
Pathway specific audits:
All eight of these topics should be investigated during the audit. The Eco-Schools USA Audit checklist contains a series of 'yes/no' questions and space for providing comments.
Do you have an audit form my students can use to evaluate their home?
Yes! We suggest you print off this ecological footprint calculator and send it home with students.
Eco-Schools Tip: Your school should conduct the audit in the way that suits you best, but you should ensure maximum student involvement at every stage. One of the most important aspects of the audit is to make sure that the results are well documented, displayed and disseminated. The school's website or notice board is a great place for publicizing and sharing results.
Eco-Schools USA recommends that an Environmental Audit be carried out annually in order to measure and evaluate improvement in your school's environmental performance. This is a very effective way to evaluate your targets and is a requirement for obtaining Green Flag status. It's also a great way to show progress and determine next steps.
Once you have completed your Environmental Audit, use the results to complete Step Three - the Eco-Action Plan.
Awards Criteria
Bronze Award
Silver Award
Green Flag Award
Attention: Eco-Schools USA has a NEW energy audit! This tool will allow you to gather better data and more easily track your school's energy efficiency.

PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Kansas State senior forward Jamar Samuels will not play against Syracuse in the third round of the East Regional of the NCAA tournament because of an eligibility concern.
The school released a statement about 20 minutes before Saturday's game that the team's second-leading scorer (10.0) and leading rebounder (6.6) would not be available for the eighth-seeded Wildcats.
"This is a situation that has developed rapidly over the last 24 hours," athletic director John Currie said.
The 6-foot-7 Samuels had one point, eight rebounds and three assists in Kansas State's 70-64 second-round win over Southern Mississippi. He sat on the Kansas State bench wearing a black sweatsuit while his teammates tried to advance to the regional semifinals. The Wildcats started freshman Thomas Gipson in place of Samuels.
The top-seeded Orange are playing the tournament without starting center Fab Melo, who was ruled ineligible by the school earlier in the week.
Currie said the school is hoping to have a resolution as quickly as possible but wasn't sure about Samuels' availability if the Wildcats extend their season.
"Jamar Samuels has worked extremely hard both academically and athletically throughout his career and we are certainly going to do everything we can do advocate for him," Currie said.
