We are pleased to announce that the Harvest Management Plan for the Porcupine Caribou Herd in Canada is now available to the public.
We are pleased to announce that the Harvest Management Plan for the Porcupine Caribou Herd in Canada is now available to the public.
The Porcupine Caribou Management Board recommended a draft Plan to the Parties in June 2009. The final Plan has been agreed to by the eight Parties responsible for the Canadian Porcupine Caribou Management Agreement – the Inuvialuit Game Council, Gwich'in Tribal Council, Vuntut Gwitchin Government, Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in, First Nation of NaCho Nyäk Dun, Government of Yukon, Government of the Northwest Territories and Government of Canada.
The Plan will coordinate management actions for the conservation of this essential Herd that ranges close to eight communities in five aboriginal land claim areas in two territories in Canada. It is a Plan for all times – one that will respond to the status of the Herd whether the population is high or low. The Plan presents a proactive approach, with many hard decisions already having been made if the Herd continues to decline.
On January 15, 2010, the PCMA Parties' Principals (First Nation Leaders and territorial Premiers and Ministers) met to discuss conservation of the Porcupine Caribou Herd and the proposed Harvest Management Plan. The Principals passed a motion regarding working together to finalize the HMP and work on other conservation-related issues.
For more information about the Harvest Management Plan, please contact the PCMB's Executive Director.

What is the Internet of Things (IoT) and why is it important to businesses? To start, it's about the collection, analysis and use of unprecedented amounts of real-time data that likely will disrupt the way many organizations do business today. IoT solutions have the potential to offer business value that goes beyond operational cost savings to extend to risk management, revenue growth and innovation, and more by helping companies move from a one-time transaction focus to a continuous, relationship focus with customers, suppliers, workers and assets..

They call themselves DeSoto County Reform, they are parents and grandparents who have taken issue with DeSoto County Schools on a number of things. The next of which will be charter schools.
"You know I wouldn't argue that DeSoto County Schools aren't the best in the state of Mississippi as far as performance goes,' said Andrea Hodges of Olive Branch. "That argument was never made by me, but you have to look outside at it from outside the box because you are in the county in the entire state which is trying to pass this bill, and it's really telling that you are satisfied to be the best of the worst, I would strive to be better."
MORE: Miss lawmakers eye more K-12 education changes
MORE: Kuykendall opposed to MS charter school bill
MORE: Miss Lt Gov Reeves pushing for charter schools
As a group they are openly critical of DeSoto County Schools Superintendent Milton Kuykendall and his administration and his stance that charter schools would increase taxes in the county.
"Because I feel like the money is there if you don't have someone managing the funds correctly and being allocated properly that's a problem, so I don't feel like charter schools, the tax increase would come from the continuous drain of money from the state even though the money has been given to them," said Heather Fox, DeSoto County Reform member.
If charter schools aren't voted in the county look for candidates sponsored by DeSoto County Reform to start popping up.
"We just need to make sure that we start getting people to run against because here, is what happening, Superintendent Kuykendall, nobody has run against him the last three times," Fox said.
While this group is taking issue with Superintendent Kuykendall and his administration, they say they are not taking issue with the teachers.
"I never thought it was a teacher issue, I don't think that at all," Fox added. "I think their full potential could be met if the administration didn't try to teach the children to test."

Recording and playing back screen activity
Xnee, Gnee, Cnee, and Pnee – these strangely named tools record and play back mouse and keyboard actions.
The Xnee tools give users the ability to record mouse movements and keystrokes, replay them on another machine, and thus repeat entries like a macro. Many Linux users developed an interest in screen recorders during the Beryl/ Compiz boom. Another option for preserving desktop results is Xnee, a tool that captures mouse clicks, movements, and key presses by sniffing communications between the X server and X client. If you replay the recorded file on another computer with Xnee, Xnee will repeat the steps.

The Tea Party of Louisiana is calling Sen. David Vitter a "turncoat" for his newfound embrace of Common Core educational standards.

AUG 20 This post on the Texas Observer is a good one to read if you haven't bothered to pay much attention to the Rick Perry indictment. The pundits have collectively dismissed it as partisan politics - but the special prosecutor is a Bush man, and the judge is GOP. (They didn't mention THAT, did they?) It's a pretty good round up of what we do know, and more importantly, what we don't.
AUG 20 In this post, blogger Rod Dreher takes a look at the Tea Party's horror at David Vitter's reluctance to say he hates the Common Core with every fiber of his being. He also includes some commentary on the Tea Party's inability to tell news from satire. Hey, maybe that's why Facebook has to add those labels. Mystery solved!
AUG 20 This story in the New York Times updates the rest of the nation on the Common Core issue here in Louisiana, proclaiming that it is "dividing" the state. Unfortunately for Gov.

AUG 20 The bill passed last session to tack $75 onto the fee residents pay when they have to reinstate their insurance isn't constitutional, blogger CB Forgotston says in this post. The state constitution forbids new taxes during sessions held in even-numbered years, he points out, so nobody should collect that fee.
AUG 20 Blogger Tom Aswell is giving us another one of his lists in this post, going through the closets of the legislators who are contributing to Bill Cassidy. Why? Because he feels Hayride, a blog that's "slightly to the right of Attila the Hun," keeps doing the same for those who contribute to Edwin Edwards' campaign, and he wants to spread the joy.

AUG 19 Here's the statement Ray Mouton sent to the Advertiser (at their request) to balance a story quoting the Bishop about why he won't release the name of 15 priests accused of molesting children. Mouton also gives us some background: The paper "ignored" the statement, Mouton says, adding that the paper was acting as a 'publicist' for the bishop, instead of as a newspaper for this community.
AUG 19 Crazy Crawfish gives us a primer here on how the state Department of Education, the Recovery School District, drop-out numbers and graduation rates. It's a long post, but it has a lot of data in it, and a lot of explanations, plus a couple of photoshoped pictures of Paul Pastorek thrown in for fun.
AUG 19 OK, so this is a story in the Picayune about the state's Tea Party being bent out of shape because David Vitter says he supports Common Core. Blah, blah, blah. You really need to click through and read the last two paragraphs of this story -- because THAT is where the real entertainment is here.

Students skate at Withington's winter wonderland
Updated 9:15am Tuesday 7th January 2014 in News
IT was a white Christmas for one Herefordshire primary school this year, after shipping in an ice-rink to get pupils in the festive spirit.
For one night Withington Primary School became a winter wonderland – with more than 60 schoolkids getting their skates on.
Friends, family and students from partner school Aylestone High School also got involved, while those watching kept warm with mugs of hot chocolate.
"There was a fantastic buzz," said vice chair of the schools' PTA, Linda Goodson.
"Everyone was out there, from three-year-olds to those old enough to know better."
Linda's next project is even more ambitious – she is looking to bring a circus to Aylestone in the summer.

Parents told CBS Atlanta News some Ola High School students in McDonough planned a food fight and also a walk-out Friday in retaliation for punishment for a previous food fight.
School leaders warned punishment, including possible criminal charges, could be carried out if students proceeded.
The first food fight happened in the cafeteria on February 1. It lead to several students getting arrested and eventually expelled for the remainder of the school year.
"I was willing to take whatever punishment they gave me and make the most of it, but I feel this just went way too far," said Mitchell Daniel, an expelled student.
Many parents agreed.
"He (Mitchell) got the same offense as if he brought a gun to school, or if he brought drugs or alcohol to school," said David Daniel, Mitchell's father.
However, others said enough is enough.
"I think the parents need to grow up; set an example for their children, and the parents are not respecting the authorities at the school. When a parent doesn't show respect, than a child's not going to show respect," said Jane Askew Rutledge, a former paraprofessional at the school.
Parents said school leaders emailed them late Thursday. It said students who participate in a walk-out Friday face up to a two-day suspension. Those who are caught in a food fight could be kicked-out of school. Both offenses could also result in criminal charges for "disruption of a public school".
The letter read:
"As you all know this has been a very difficult week for our school and our community. I know that each one of you has your own opinion about what happened and the manner in which it has been addressed by the school, the school system, and the law enforcement agencies. It is my hope that we can soon move beyond the divide that currently exists, learn from this experience, and emerge a better school and a stronger community than we were before.
"I wanted to make you aware that we are hearing strong rumors about some activities planned for tomorrow at Ola High School. As with the rumors last week, we certainly hope that they remain just that - rumors. With last week's experience, however, the administration did not want to leave anything to chance and have made a decision to inform you, the parents and guardians, of our concerns.
"We have heard from multiple sources that there is another food fight planned for tomorrow. If that is the case, everyone needs to understand that the consequences will remain the same. Those that participate will be taken to a disciplinary hearing. Those that participate will also face the possibility of being arrested and charged with disruption of a public school among other possible charges. Student arrests and charges are the decisions and responsibility of local law enforcement.
"We have also heard of a potential walk-out. Please be advised that students that leave the building without permission to do so will receive a minimum 2 day Out of School Suspension. Those students that have already received discipline consequences for other infractions during the year will receive the next appropriate out of school suspension step. Since walking out of the school during the school day is clearly a Disruption of a Public School it is possible that participating students will also be charged. Student arrests and charges are the decisions and responsibility of local law enforcement.
"It breaks my heart that I am sending out a message such as this. Our administration and staff have historically enjoyed a wonderful relationship with our students. We have always been able to work together to both address concerns and create fun and memorable opportunities for our students. The adults at Ola value that relationship. My sincere hope is that we can work our way through this difficult time and once again be able to say that WE ARE OLA!"
Some parents said they planned to keep their children home Friday to avoid trouble.

Arizona high school submits video for Katy Perry contest
One Buckeye school has thrown its hat in the ring as a contender for Katy Perry's "Roar" contest.
Verrado High School submitted a 2-minute video lip-syncing to "Roar," Perry's latest single, in the hopes of getting the pop star to perform at their school.
The music video took a storytelling approach, however, with a cheerleader befriending Megan, a girl with Down syndrome, and helping her secure a spot on the cheerleading squad.
One student from the school, Philip Hoang, commented on YouTube, saying they wanted the video to represent someone overcoming struggles and adversity, like Megan has, and that they were not exploiting her condition just to win a contest.
We picked her because she has "the loudest roar", figuratively. We wanted to showcase her journey and to display how accepting we are as a school, not "get attention".

I've been a wrestling fan a good part of my short life but haven't really paid attention to it until 2010. I feel I don't know as much as I should about wrestling. I am a senior in highschool and plan to leave for the Navy after I graduate highschool in June of 2013.
I can be very opinionated but I will not argue an issue or drag it. If someone wants to argue I'll pass, it's not that serious in my opinion. I gave my side of the issue if you see it a different way that is fine.
I hope to better to understand old school wrestling. :)
I'm a Paul Heyman girl and damn proud. :D
10 days to graduation and counting. 27 days to ship off and counting.
Mini Update: Decided to change my name from The GumBallZ to The Gumballs since I am being associated with a childhood TV show. Which isn't terrible but that's not why I chose the name.
Bleacher is very informative. You guys are really smart and help me learned things I otherwise would've never known. I will give you credit if I read the information from you comment or article. You guys derserve it you're all awesome. :)
Things I've learned from Bleacher:
Worse Angle Katie Vick: Colin I. McAndrew
Multiple Superstars arrested: Luis Campos
Stone Cold beat his wife: Rock Eck
Mark Henry use to go by Sexual Chocolate (which I kinda already knew): Jason White
Cena stole Eddie's car: The One.. The Only
Vince McMahon handed out steroids: Rock Eck
Vickie and Edge had "a thing" going on: Donatello Rafael
Okay, this is getting sad. I've lost a lot of excellent fans/users. I'm assuming you left
as well. Pity.
haha Cool ;0)
Oh and I just recently got to know that you're a "Paul Heyman girl", lol ;)
OK you saved it XD
I also think the tag title match is going to deliver.
In which matches are you most looking forward to at Extreme Rules?
LOL yeah that's why I thought you liked it.
Cool. I like it. JW cause of ur profile name.
Fair enough!! Haha, I would do the same.
haha it's OK, at least you don't have Vickie there XD

By Stefano DiPietrantonio – bio |email
MONROE, OH (FOX19) - It has been just over a week since lightning hit the "King Of King's" statue along I-75 in Monroe and set it on fire.
That wild video has become an Internet sensation but already, there's movement to rebuild.
PETA, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has offered to rebuild the giant Jesus, but the Solid Rock Church has rejected PETA's offer.
FOX19's Stefano DiPietrantonio sat down with the church's pastor at his cattle ranch in Butler County.
Whether you call it the "Big Butter Jesus", the "Touchdown Jesus", there are more than a hundred reasons walking around in the fields at Pastor Lawrence Bishop's cattle ranch, why the statue will never be called, the "PETA Jesus".
Pastor Bishop has been a cowboy all his life. Walking his ranch with real spurs on his boots, he has worked on farms since he was a kid, including his family's farm in rural Kentucky.
"I've been good to them," Pastor Bishop said of his prized steers, many varieties from all over the globe. "If you're good to them, they'll be good to you."
He has been raising cattle and quarter-horses for 50 years. His animals are his life.
"Hopefully somebody'll make Big Macs out of them one day," he jokes. "And I'll make a profit."
So when a PETA donor suggested replacing the statue at his church, he promptly rejected their offer.
"If I wanted to promote somebody's agenda," Bishop said. "They'd be the last person in the world."
The PETA-proposed statue would show Jesus with a lamb around his shoulder.
"The only requirement is we want him to be holding a sheep," Bishop said.
And the message on the statue? "Blessed Are The Merciful" on the top line.. and, "Go Vegan", is the slogan scripted below, on the bottom line.
"The hope of our donor, which we share completely," said PETA spokesman Bruce Friedrich, "Was that we would be able to take over the statue and use it to promote Christ's message of compassion and non-violence."
"But to be merciful," said Pastor Bishop. "He (meaning God) is talking about showing mercy to those who trespass against you and so he is a God of mercy but they're sidetracked on everything PETA is, a little bit looney, and a little bit far out."
"For the animals at the end of the day," Friedrich said. "It's a gruesome, bloody end that can't be reconciled with mercy or compassion and certainly can't be reconciled with the idea that the animals were treated well."
The church has gotten lots of offers from different sculptors and plenty of new ideas.
"And one with him standing with his arms outstretched," Bishop said. "I like that one."
Christ is a lot of things to a lot of people.
"For people that are hurting," Bishop said. "Especially in rough economic times, and we've had people who were contemplating suicide, driving down the highway, they said that sign did something to them, it gave them hope and it turned their whole life around."
The statue drew protestors and police at the first services after the statue burned. And given the trouble they had at last Wednesday night's services, Pastor Bishop said he expects to have a police presence again, at services this Wednesday night.

The New Orleans Saints defense has so far continued its early season struggles, surrendering 10 points and 174 yards before the end of the first quarter of Sunday's home game against the Houston Texans. The Saints entered the game allowing 27.5 points.
As they have been for much of the year, the Saints have been especially vulnerable to the pass. Matt Schaub has thrown for 139 yards and a touchdown, and it could very easily be more. Schaub connected with tight end James Casey on a 62 yard pass that nearly went for a touchdown. As it turned out, he was stopped inside the 20 and the Texans ultimately settled for a field goal.
It's also worth noting that the No. 1-ranked Texans defense has done a solid job against one of the league's best offenses. The Saints have been limited to just one first down and 29 yards of total offense.

Nothing good came out of Jack's exit on Wednesday night's Project Runway (for those who didn't see the show, the HIV-positive designer decided to leave the competition in order to tend to a serious staph infection): Not only was he funny and cute, he was seemingly the only designer on the show's fourth season who could actually make a pair of pants. For those depressed over his departure, we suggest you revive your spirits with the clip above, a video in which Jack performs a certain memorable number from Flashdance.

A Kansas City woman is in the hospital after an apparent drive-by shooting.
She was shot on Brooklyn Avenue near Elma Street about 11:30 a.m. Sunday.
Police aren't sure what the motive was but say she may have been shot when she told a stranger she didn't have any money.
"Basically, her story is that she was walking in the area when a light-colored sedan with a white driver pulled over and asked her for money. When she said she didn't have any, he fired one round and hit her in the back," Sgt. Chris Price said.
The woman was transported to an area hospital. Her injuries are not considered life-threatening.
After being shot, the woman was able to get to a grocery store for help.
No arrests have been made.

Associated Press
Publication: theday.com
Hartford (AP) — Connecticut's top economic development official is asking Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and the legislature for more authority to oversee the finances and operations of the state's official flagship, the Amistad schooner.
Catherine Smith, commissioner of the Department of Economic and Community Development, said in a report released Tuesday that the agency has little authority under state law.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's chief of staff, Mark Ojakian, asked Smith for a report about what is being done to improve the Amistad's accountability.
The schooner's nonprofit owner, Amistad America, has faced questions about its business partnerships and how it has spent nearly $9 million in state funding. Officials say there's no evidence of any impropriety.
North Stonington state Rep. Diana Urban says she wants a new board of directors installed at Amistad America.

Hartford, Conn. - April 10, 2013 - The Springfield College women's lacrosse dropped a 19-5 decision to Trinity College on Wednesday afternoon in non-conference play. Springfield lost for the first time in its last three outings to fall to 7-6 on the season. Trinity, who captured last year's NCAA Division III National Championship, improved to 10-0.
Trinity controlled play from the beginning, opening up a 6-0 led after 19:22 of play. Bantam senior attacker Hadley Duncan scored the game's first goal from senior attacker Haley Thompson 1:53 after the opening draw, and senior tri-captain midfielder Megan Leonhard tallied three times to highlight the 6-0 Trinity run that started the game.
Freshman midfielder Connie Nielsen ended the Springfield scoring drought with back-to-back scores at 15:45 and 13:02 of the first half, respectively, and sophomore midfielder Michelle Dorseyscored the third straight Pride goal 28 seconds later to make the score, 6-3.
The Bantams closed the first half with a 5-0 run that included consecutive goals by Martha Griffin in the final three minutes before the break. After a goal by Dorsey from Nielsen 30 second after halftime, junior attacker Shea Kusiak scored on a free position for the Bantams to ignite a 5-0 run that out the game out of reach. Rookie attacker Molly Cox scored twice during the spurt.
Trinity sophomore midfielder Lindsay Mullaney was the fifth of five Bantam multiple-goal scorers with two, while Thompson and junior attacker Kathleen Timmons dished two assists apiece, and Leonhard had a game-high four draw controls and forced three turnovers.
First-year Emily Mooney and senior tri-captain Olivia Whitney did not make a save in 60 minutes in the Bantam goal. Junior tri-captain goalie Anne Versprille had 11 stops for Springfield.
The Bantams held a 33-8 edge in shots, while the Pride had a 13-12 advantage in draw controls, with Kerstin Lindrooth picking up three draws.
Springfield will return to league play on Saturday morning when it hosts Wellesley at 11:00 am

Librarian Kee Malesky Considers 'All Facts' For NPR
Do you know why ice forms on the top of a pond? Or that "red" hair isn't really red?
Kee Malesky does. The venerable NPR librarian has been dubbed "the source of all human knowledge."
She shares her fact-finding prowess with the world in a new book, All Facts Considered: The Essential Library Of Inessential Knowledge.
Malesky has spent her entire career as a librarian at NPR, where the collection of physical books is quite small. "At its largest, our book collection was maybe 3,000 volumes," she tells NPR's Neal Conan. "And it's entirely a reference collection, so we don't have novels or travel books."
These days, the collection of actual books numbers in the hundreds.� They're mostly reference books, such as an unabridged dictionary — and are kept on hand for backup in case NPR computers go down, or the power is out. "And then there are still a few of our users who do like to use print," Malesky says.
But many of the answers Malesky seeks can be found by directly contacting sources. For example, if she was asked to compile a list of famous individuals with only one eye, as one librarian was, she wouldn't hit the books, or even Google. She'd contact the Society for the Blind, "because probably their librarian would know that."
Malesky says it's one of the first lessons she learned from the journalists with whom she works: Always turn to an expert, she says, "because there's somebody out there whose job it is to know the thing you need. And they're just waiting for us to call."
The advent of the Internet has had a profound influence on the way Malesky does her job. "But it doesn't mean you don't still need the same skills that I learned in library school before everything was in the computer," she says.
Whether she's consulting the Internet or an actual book, Malesky insists "it's still about evaluating and looking closely at the sources, and being sure that what you're finding is still the best information."
That can mean the easiest answer to find isn't the best answer. "As anyone who uses Google knows, that's not necessarily going to be on that first page of results." She often finds herself clicking through pages and pages of results, till she lands on "the absolutely perfect appropriate primary source, with current information that seems nice and comprehensive."
And in that way, says Malesky, the research is about perseverance, just like it's always been.
Still wondering about why ice forms on the top of a pond? �Or why "red" isn't really red? �Here are Malesky's explanations:
On ice: "Ice is less dense than water, and that's why it forms on the top of rivers and lakes rather than on the bottom."
On red hair: "The hair color inaccurately referred to as red is the rarest human hair color; only 1 to 2 percent of the population enjoys the privilege of "red" hair, which has existed for only the last 40,000 years."

'All Facts Considered' By NPR's Longtime Librarian
Left to his own devices, NPR host Scott Simon admits he would regularly confuse Monet, Manet and Matisse; Cro-Magnon and Neanderthal; Socrates and Sophocles; Crete and Sicily; and Grover Cleveland and William Howard Taft.
Thank goodness for librarian Kee Malesky — who, for 20 years, has been saving NPR's hosts and reporters from themselves. Malesky is the organization's longest-serving librarian, and Simon says he suspects that she is actually the source of all human knowledge.
In her new book, All Facts Considered: The Essential Library of Inessential Knowledge, Malesky catalogs some of the facts that she has researched so dutifully over the years.
Odd Queries From NPR Staff
During her two decades of service in the NPR reference library, reporters have asked Malesky to look up some fairly obscure, though fascinating pieces of information.
The first non-Native American to set foot in what is now Chicago?
That would be an African man from Haiti by the name of Jean Baptiste Point du Sable, whose trading post was the first permanent dwelling there. Chicago has since named a high school after him that few residents can properly pronounce.
And how about the "the rockets' red glare" referenced in the Star-Spangled Banner? Where exactly did the red glare come from?
The British army's Congreve rockets, Malesky explains. They were effectively very large bottle rockets — the kind you might set off in your backyard on July 4 — but in the early 1800s, they were a novel development in weaponry.
And watermelons — fruit or vegetable?
"Yes," Malesky says with a laugh. "It's both. Most of us would think of it as a fruit, but it can also be considered a vegetable because it's in the same family as cucumbers and gourds." (In fact, the state Legislature of Oklahoma recently declared that the watermelon would be the official state vegetable.)
And then there are those startling statistics about consumption. In 2007, the average American drank 22.7 gallons of coffee, according to the USDA. But believe it or not, that's actually half the amount Americans were drinking in the 1940s.
And finally, there's the matter of van Gogh's ear. Did he nearly cut it off himself? A group of German scholars closely examined the police reports and proposed that artist Paul Gauguin — van Gogh's close friend — may have cut the ear off during the heat of an argument.
"But the curator of the Van Gogh Museum is skeptical," Malesky says, "So I put it in [the book] as just a 'Maybe.' "
'I Wouldn't Want To Be Your Editors'
NPR staffers can be a demanding bunch, but Malesky says that "for the most part, they're very appreciative of our efforts."
"But I wouldn't want to be your editors," she tells Scott Simon. "I wouldn't want to have to tell you, 'No.' "
NPR personnel can be very loyal to their librarians — something that Malesky discovered very quickly back in 1990. On her first day in the reference library, the late Dan Schorr, an NPR news analyst and three-time Emmy winner, walked into the library in search of NPR's veteran library manager.
"He stopped short," Malesky remembers. "I said, 'Hello, can I help you?' And he said, 'No, that's OK,' turned around and walked out."
But it didn't take long for Schorr and Malesky to get to know each other — he eventually began bringing his research questions to her, "and I managed to answer them adequately," Malesky says, and the two became close friends.
Schorr himself figures prominently in one of Malesky's chapters — it was through one of his stories that she discovered a surprising factoid about the Watergate scandal.
"He asked me to find the phrase 'follow the money' in the book All The President's Men by [Bob] Woodward and [Carl] Bernstein," Malesky recalls. "And because my policy was to go to any length to get Dan Schorr what he needed, I went through the book page by page, and that phrase does not appear there. And then in talking to Bob Woodward and the screenwriter, William Goldman, Dan discovered that [the phrase is] actually kind of made up for the movie."
While Malesky harvests many of her surprising facts in the course of her research for NPR reporters, she doesn't just wait for the phone to ring. She spends plenty of time hunting down information on her own, and then brings the facts to reporters' attention.
"We [librarians] read all the time," Malesky says. "We're constantly looking at new sources, at websites, at all kinds of things that are happening in the world. ... We're all very proactive. It's really a part of the proper job of a librarian."
A Few Of Malesky's Favorite Facts, Distilled
(Full explanations of these tidbits of knowledge can be found in All Facts Considered.)
Red hair, the rarest human color (less than 2 percent of the population), is caused by a variation in what is called the "Celtic" gene.
George Gershwin wrote Rhapsody in Blue in about three weeks and found his inspiration in the sounds and rhythm of a train as he traveled to Boston.
Tiny parasites — eyelash mites called Demodex — live and die on the faces of most of us; they walk around, eat, rest, mate and lay eggs.
The great Russian epic Doktor Zhivago was first published in Italy, not in the Soviet Union.
A Steinway grand piano comprises about 12,000 individual parts, and it takes 450 skilled artisans to create one.
Candidates in the 2008 U.S. elections spent as much money on their campaigns as it cost to build the nuclear submarine USS Jimmy Carter.
At any given moment, there are 10 quintillion individual insects on Earth — flies, mosquitoes, beetles, bees, etc.
There are 785 million illiterate adults in the world, and two-thirds of them are women.
The oldest zoomorphic structure in the U.S. is Lucy the Elephant, a former hotel in Margate, N.J.
The first e-book was the Declaration of Independence, typed into a computer in 1971 by the founder of Project Gutenberg.

Train operators' 'great concern' after franchising cancelled
The Association of Train Operating Companies (ATOC) has responded to the Department of Transport's decision to cancel the awarding all new rail franchises, pending a review of the process. The review is expected to take a minimum of three months to complete.
"The discovery of significant flaws in the DfT's franchising process is a cause of great concern. It is in the interests of passengers, taxpayers and the rail industry that the DfT solves these problems as a matter of urgency.
"Franchising private companies to run train services has delivered for the country, with rail travel more popular now than at any time since the 1920s and near record levels of satisfaction and punctuality. The cancellation, however, of the InterCity West Coast franchise allows the DfT to reappraise its approach to franchising and implement rapid improvements.
– Michael Roberts, Chief Executive of the Association of Train Operating Companies (ATOC)
"The two independent reviews will need to restore the confidence of taxpayers and passengers, and those who might want to bid for franchises in the future. We look forward in particular to engaging with the review into the wider rail franchising programme."

Sewage flood alert as rain 'can't drain away' (From Herald Series)

Sewage flood alert as rain 'can't drain away'
11:00am Wednesday 20th February 2013 in News By Andrew Ffrench, Reporter covering Didcot and Wallingford. Call me on 01865 425425
RESIDENTS across Oxfordshire are being warned there is still a risk of sewers overflowing as a result of high ground- water levels.
Following the wettest year on record, January's rain and snow has left rivers full and the water table so high, there is no capacity to absorb more water.
In many cases spring and river water is running directly into the sewers, which are designed to take only wastewater from homes and businesses.
This is putting the network under strain and Thames Water has been sending out its 6,000-gallon tanker lorries to pump away the excess water.
Dr Barnaby Smith, a spokesman for Wallingford-based Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, said: "In January the amount of rainfall for the river basin of the Thames was 62mm, which is just below average for the time of year.
"But the last nine months of 2012 were extremely wet, and that helped to create the high groundwater levels which remain and are not going away.
"The weather is not warm enough yet to start evaporating the groundwater – the evaporation season does not start until the end of March when air temperatures get significantly higher.
"There is still lots of standing water on the fields, much more than you would expect for this time of year."
Frank Dumbleton, 67, of Main Street, Chilton, said Thames Water staff had made repeated visits to the village in the past two months because of sewage covering The Lane.
He said the sewage has not got into people's homes, but added that there has been repeated contamination of the lane.
Thames Water spokesman Simon Evans said the company has also been sent to Standlake High Street near Abingdon to suck out excess flows from overloaded sewers and prevent homes and businesses flooding with sewage.
Tanker staff have also been working in Brize Norton.
He added: "Once groundwater flows above the level of the sewers there's the possibility of sewage flooding on to roads and, potentially, into houses and gardens."
Sustainability director for Thames Water, Richard Aylard, said: "While we recognise that having tanker lorries running 24/7 is not ideal, particularly on narrow country lanes, right now this is the only way to stop some of our customers' properties flooding with wastewater from our overloaded sewers.
"We will continue tankering in the areas worst affected for as long as is necessary. "Flooding tends to ease when the rain stops only to return when it rains again. That is because the underlying cause – high groundwater and full rivers – remain.
"This means, potentially, for the rest of the winter months, flooding-related problems could recur at hotspots, particularly after any significant rainfall."

The field behind this proposed development site has been saturated throughout the winter months and property will definitely be at risk if this goes ahead.

Drinking a cup of coffee is more than just ingesting a dark, toasty liquid. It's holding a cup in your hands, inhaling the steam as it wafts over the scalding beverage and mulling it around in your mouth before letting it warm you from the inside out.
Java enthusiasts have their own sacred rituals when it comes to coffee; no way is right or wrong.
But if you enjoy your coffee in a coffeehouse accompanied by a live band or vocal performer, that comforting cup of joe becomes only a small piece of a larger routine.
Here are just a few of the Sonoma County coffee shops where you can enjoy a side of creativity with your cappuccino:
A'Roma Roasters in Santa Rosa's Railroad Square is a place where you can find your mom and her knitting group sitting at a table directly next to a group of artfully decorated young hipsters.
During the day, it's the meeting place for a variety of folks. At night, the tables are cleared from the corner to make room for a microphone, amp and performers.
The coffeehouse generally invites musicians to perform on Friday and Saturday nights from 8 to 11 p.m., with genres ranging from folk to jazz and everything in between.
Tonight they welcome Brazilian jazz band Organix. On Saturday, acoustic pop band, Bee Rays, will take the mic.
A'Roma Roasters is at 95 Fifth St., Santa Rosa. Their website is aromaroasters.com
Aqus Café has endeared itself to many Petaluma coffee lovers looking for a place to unwind.
Its patio welcomes polite pooches and their humans who are looking for a quiet space to relax. Inside is cozy, the ambience warm and friendly.
Owner John Crowley has gone out of his way to keep the establishment part of the community, and his efforts have paid off. The result is a wide variety of entertainment throughout the week, including trivia, comedy, live music and more.
Tonight's entertainment is from the rock band, Dictator Tots from 7-9 p.m. On Saturday is old-time music from Brooke & The Caterpillars and New Old-Time Music from 7-9 p.m.

My most memorable Christmas
Posted 05-08-2008 at 05:54 PM by MrsH
I think everyone has that one childhood Christmas memory that stands out above them all. Mine was probably 1969. Our Grandmother, was staying with us. She always slept on a folding cot in the living room. This one year ended up being very very interesting. First, in the middle of the night before Santa had come, we heard a crash. The folding bed had collapsed during the night and my grandmother was folded up in the bed. Finally we were asleep again and, as kids will do, we snuck down early. At the bottom of the stairs, we peeked around the corner and saw a HUGE dinosaur skeleton. We screamed and ran back up the stairs. Santa had brought us a big styrofoam dinosaur skeleton to play with. I can remember taking the head off and wearing it on my head. That was a fun Christmas.

4. Go Airborne
Baits fished from kites often produce when nothing else will. Live baits transmit frantic sounds, which tuna and many other species find irresistible.
The last trick involves kites. As with chumming, stealth helps immensely, but if you fly a kite bait or two from a dead boat in the path of feeding fish, a strike will likely come. Once again, live baits work best, but they aren't necessary.
Dead flying fish and ballyhoo work well too. Savvy captains have refined their techniques with these baits, pinning the wings of flying fish open with light wire so they look natural while lying on the surface beneath the kite. You can also fly the kite out far from the boat while holding the bait in your hand. When the kite and the release pin are far away, toss the bait overboard and reel fast: The bait skips across the surface and away from the boat like a fleeing fish and often draws a strike.
Kites also work well when you're doing several kinds of fishing at once. Since yellowfin often feed along reefs, many captains anchor and fish deep for snapper and grouper while deploying a kite in the hopes of intercepting tuna that are feeding up and down the line. Such opportunistic methods work well and maximize your chances of having a successful day.

What: Yellowfin tuna.
When: April to August.
Where: Here's a list of Bahamian ports where you're likely to find schools of yellowfin close by.

Dolphins Storm Past Winthrop

13 Goal Opening Half Help JU Weather the Elements
ROCK HILL, S.C. – The Jacksonville University women's lacrosse team is on a three-game winning tear and the latest to fall to the powerhouse was Winthrop University. Harsh conditions and a feisty home-standing Eagles team could not derail the Dolphins as they scored 19 goals to their oppositions 11.
The Fins were directed by a strong effort on the draw (18-13) and a tenacious ride (4-8 Winthrop clears stolen). The possessions helped make possible a 50% shooting effort.
"Winthrop is a well-coached team. We knew that coming in. They were well prepared and we had to shoot well to get the win. Our attackers answered the bell in the first half with 13 goals on 25 shots," said head coach Mindy McCord.
"I liked how we played on the road in poor conditions without our starting keeper [Asia Moore stayed home battling flu-like symptoms]. We're scoring well and we have seen a group of attackers and midfielders every game who show up and rise to the occasion. I think if we all play at that level as a team we can accomplish a lot."
The Eagles did their best to keep the Dolphins honest and stuck around for a majority of the first half. Jacksonville was the first to strike on a free-position goal from Brittney Orashen and each team would rattle off goals through the midpoint of the frame. With 10:35 on the clock, WU used an unassisted score to pull within two, 7-5, and the Dolphins answered back with a 4-0 run. The eventual 6-1 JU goal advantage closed the half with the Fins up 13-6.
As the weather worsened, the rainfall and gusty winds forced both squads to play at a slower tempo. The Eagles netted two goals in the first five minutes of the second half but again the Dolphins scored four consecutive goals to boost a 17-8 cushion with 16:17 left in regulation.
From then on the teams traded two goals each and WU's Logan McCarthy ended all scoring by notching the Eagle's eleventh goal with just 33 seconds remaining.
Taylor McCord, who scored her 100th point earlier this season, gave credit to her teammates for the win.
"It's a very unselfish team. They make it easy to play attack here. Winthrop ran a new zone that we had not seen. We like playing against zones, it's a test of our ability to play as a unit and not be just a group of good players," McCord said.
"These non-conference games are great for preparing us for our conference opponents and we hope to get some great work in this week on the field and in the classroom."
JU will prepare for a grueling weekend with a Friday evening game at No. 15 Stony Brook, followed by a flight to Detroit for a Sunday afternoon A-Sun match-up of last year's tournament title game.
By the Numbers....Holly Ventimiglia and Ali Hoffman scored her third hat tricks of the season...Taylor McCord earned her fifth hat trick...Ali Brennan continued to earn possessions with a team-high four draw controls...Defender Chelsea Watts matched Hoffman with three ground balls and two caused turnovers in the effort.
