The plight of the snail kite: It's not just endangered anymore.Friday, August 5th, 2011
Pity the endangered Everglades snail kite.
The raptor has enough problems, like droughts, exotic apple snails and avoiding extinction. Now, the signature species has become a pawn in an editorial tiff between Nancy Smith, the executive editor of web-based Sunshine State News and Eric Draper, the executive director of Audubon of Florida.
In a July 25 editorial, Smith accused Draper of not knowing a "snail kite from a Canada goose" in response to a blunt, 4-page letter Draper sent to the South Florida Water Management District on July 18. In the letter, Draper accused the district of favoring sugar-cane growers over the public water supply and the endangered snail kite when it rationed water from Lake Okeechobee during the current drought.
Draper said the "excess water withdrawals" for irrigation left water levels in Lake Okeechobee in violation of the state water rule meant to protect the environment and public water supply: "The district must equitably distribute available supplies to prevent serious harm to the water resources and avoid putting human health and the public water supply at risk," Draper wrote. "The restrictions placed on sugar-cane irrigation were too late, too little and ultimately ineffective."
Smith held nothing back. Draper's "full-of-baloney" letter is "super-hype. It's a blueprint to what is, frankly, a sinister agenda." Smith goes on to explain that Draper and other "determined…well-funded" environmentalists are inciting an anti-ag campaign with "bogus "facts" about an endangered, victimized, wetlands-dependent bird of prey."
Draper' July 30 rebuttal reiterated the plight of the snail kite and urged water managers to review the "rules and permits that allow sugar-cane irrigation to use the wasteful practice of flooding fields with Lake Okeechobee water." As for the tone of Smith's column, "it gave attention to the questions surrounding water supply and its effect on wildlife, such has the highly endangered snail kite…For that, I am grateful."
Pity the snail kite.

The Catholic University for Independent Thinkers
The Greek Olympics are a long standing tradition at the UD Rome Campus. The day before their departure for Greece, the students dress in togas and gather on the soccer field for an afternoon of competition and revelry. The student Olympians are divided into teams and contend against each other in athletic, artistic, and creative games, such as the Dizzy Bat Race, the Orange Pass, and the Shaving Cream Statue Competition. These games are a fun send off and contribute to the students' general excitement for the upcoming days in Greece.

Women's Hockey Swept by #1 Wisconsin on Thanksgiving Weekend
Thanksgiving Weekend was no time to relax for the St. Cloud State Women's Hockey team who were given the tough task of traveling to Madison to take on the #1 Wisconsin Badgers. Looking for their first WCHA win, the Huskies fell short and were swept by Wisconsin, losing 5-0 Friday, and 6-1 Sunday from the Kohl Center.
Friday saw SCSU give up two goals in the first period but play the Badgers tough in the second frame. Heading into the third period, the score read 2-0 in favor of the Badgers. However, Wisconsin captain Hillary Knight took the game over and scored twice in the third period en route to the 5-0 win. Knight had 15 shots for the Badgers in the win, while as a team, St. Cloud registered only 19 shots on goal. SCSU senior goaltender Tayler VanDennaker made 36 saves in the loss.
After having Saturday off, the Huskies returned to the ice Sunday looking for the upset win, but a three goal first period for Wisconsin quickly put SCSU behind. St Cloud got on the board in period two when junior Alex Nelson blasted a slapshot past Alex Rigsby to cut the Badger lead to 3-1. Nelson's goal was her second of the season and was assisted by Julia Gilbert and Kylie Lane. However Wisconsin added three more goals to secure the sweep.
The Huskies are now 1-13-2 on the season and 0-10-0 in the WCHA. St. Cloud travels to Duluth this weekend to take on the UMD Bulldogs. Puck drop is slated for 7:07 on Friday and Saturday. We'll have updates on our Twitter page.

In a city-wide referendum in April, Sumiton residents voted overwhelmingly to allow alcohol sales.
Businesses in Sumiton can start applying for alcohol licenses on Monday, June 25, at 9 a.m. City Attorney Allison Landrum said she will be on hand to assist with any legal questions applicants may have.
Any business inside the city limits of Sumiton with a zoning of B-1 and B-2 is eligible to apply for an alcohol license.
A non-refundable application fee of $200 will be required for each application to cover the cost of processing and investigating the application.
Each application will consider a number of factors:
•The effects on residents, property owners and businesses within 500 feet of the applicant's business.
•The character and reputation of the applicant and each member of the ownership and management.
•The criminal records of the applicant and each member of the ownership and management.
•The location of premises in regard to surrounding businesses and the number of existing alcohol licenses within 500 feet.
•The compliance of the applicant and each member of the ownership to the laws of the state and the ordinances of the city.
Once an application is received and the necessary investigations are complete, the city will publish a notice in the Daily Mountain Eagle stating that the application will be published at the next regular city council meeting.
This notification must be made at least six days prior to the meeting. Also, all businesses within 50 feet of the applicant will be notified of the public meeting regarding the application.
If the application is approved, an annual license fee will be charged to maintain an alcohol license. The amount of the license fee will be determined by the type of business.
Alcohol sales (for both on- and off-premises consumption) will be limited to the hours of 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to midnight on Friday and Saturday and from noon to 11 p.m. on Sunday.
There is a special exception allowing sales from 8 a.m. until 2 a.m. on Jan. 1 (New Year's Day) of each year.
The ordinance, which is based on one put in place by Cullman, covers the types of businesses allowed in the city, the rules for applications and the punishments outlined for those who don't abide by the rules.
The city council will function as the alcohol committee for approving or denying the license applications and will consider each application and applicant individually.
The ordinance specifically bans strip clubs and sets out strict guidelines for clubs or bars.
Another portion of the ordinance that was of importance to the council was the use of signage to promote alcohol sales.
The restrictions on signs are rigorous. No outside signs of any type will be permitted, nor will signs be allowed in the windows or within three feet of the windows, where they might be visible from outside.
A copy of the full ordinance can be obtained for a fee from city hall.

Applications are currently being accepted for Spring 2015 and Fall 2015 admission. Please complete the application requirements as listed below:
Aplications for admission to the Delaware College of Art and Design consist of the following:
- The Application for Admission and a non-refundable application fee of $40 ($80 for international students)
A copy of the application is found in the College View Book or online. To request a catalog, please fill out an online form.
- A Portfolio Review: All applicants living within a 200-mile radius of DCAD and Wilmington, Delaware, are expected to visit the College in person for a portfolio review and tour of the school. Applicants who cannot visit in person may mail in a CD of their portfolio to the DCAD Admissions Office, or upload on dcad.slideroom.com as outlined under Portfolio Requirements.
- Letters of Recommendation: One letter of recommendation is required from an art teacher or academic teacher. For students who have been out of school for three years or more, a letter from someone who knows you in a professional manner is acceptable. Letters of recommendation must be sent directly to the DCAD Admissions Office or faxed to 302.622.8870.
- High School Transcripts and optional SAT or ACT scores: All applicants must have received a high school diploma or the equivalent prior to entering DCAD. Official copies of all high school transcripts must be forwarded to the DCAD Admissions Office. The submission of SAT or ACT scores, though not required, is highly recommended. Applicants should ensure that all standardized test scores (SAT or ACT), if available, are included with their transcripts. DCAD's CEEB code is 5161.
- Transfer Students: DCAD welcomes applications from qualified students who have started their undergraduate education elsewhere. With a rolling-admission calendar, DCAD allows transfer students to apply year-round. Transfer students are encouraged to apply as early as possible to ensure space availability in the limited, selective admissions process. After submitting the Application for Admission and application fee, and sending official high school and college transcripts, transfer applicants should schedule an appointment for a campus tour, interview and portfolio review.
-Once official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended have been submitted, transfer credits are evaluated for the students' proposed program of study at DCAD. Only grades of "C" and above from fully-accredited institutions are considered for credit toward equivalent courses at DCAD. A maximum of 29 credits can be transferred toward the Associate of Fine Arts Degree. Transfer students must successfully complete at least 39 to 41 credits through DCAD's curriculum to earn an AFA degree from DCAD.
-Transfer credit evaluations prior to enrollment are conducted by the DCAD Admissions Office and approved by the Dean or departmental assignee. Students may petition to change these evaluations only during their first two semesters of enrollment at DCAD.
-Transfer credits are administered based on course content similarity including course equivalencies and expected learning outcomes as addressed on the course syllabus. Course syllabi are required for all classes being evaluated for transfer credit. Art work from studio classes being considered for transfer credit is required. Any transfer credits awarded are for learning only at an accredited college or university, not for life experience.
-Transfer credits will be noted on the official DCAD transcript and a copy of the Transfer Credit Evaluation will be forwarded to the student, Academic Dean, Registrar, and be placed in the student's file for review during class registration with the student's Academic Advisor.
- Credit by AP Examination: DCAD accepts credits under the Advanced Placement (AP) program of the College Board. Students receiving a grade of 4 or 5 in academic subjects receive 3 credits toward the DCAD Associate of Fine Arts Degree. A grade of 5 in the Art History AP exam entitles a student to receive credit for the equivalent art history course at DCAD. A grade of 4 or 5 in AP English can be credited toward a Writing and Literature course. In studio areas, scores of 5 in either Drawing or the Studio Art AP exam entitles students to submit a portfolio for evaluation by the Area Coordinator of Foundations for possible first-year studio credit.
EARLY ACTION ADMISSION (Deadline has passed)
Early Action applications and supporting documents must be postmarked by December 2, 2013 for Fall 2014 admission. The primary reason to apply Early Action to DCAD is to receive an admission and merit scholarship decision before January 1 of your senior year.
The Admissions Office uses the same admission standards during Early Action and rolling admission processes. The only difference for Early Action applicants is that these are the first applications reviewed; therefore more seats are available at this time.
DCAD Early Action
- Non-binding / non-restrictive (this means you can still apply to other colleges and/or attend another college).
- May 1 tuition deposit deadline (same deadline as regular admission; you are not required to make your college decision early).
- Apply by December 2 (submit all materials including application, HS transcript, portfolio).
- Admission and merit scholarship decisions mailed out before Winter Break.
PRIORITY CONSIDERATION ADMISSION (Deadline has passed)
The deadline to be considered for DCAD's Merit-Based Scholarships is March 15, 2014.

Okay, so I admit that this title may be a bit extreme and slightly over-exaggerated. However, for all of you who suffer from allergies, including myself, know that a day spent sneezing, sniffling and itching feels oddly like your own little "end of the world." It's not a pleasant feeling and sometimes it seems as if there's no relief in sight. If that is you, then I must send my apologies ahead of time, because your allergy rhinitis ("hay fever") misery could potentially get a whole lot worse. "Ah-chu!"
According to recent research released by the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, pollen counts will significantly increase over the next 30 years. Some of their predictions even suggest that pollen counts could more than double by the year 2040! This is all made possible by a little thing we call "Global Warming." That's right folks, the CO2 emissions from your extra flight between Cape Town and Joburg last month may just have contributed to you feeling like the movie "Death Becomes Her." You see, weather conditions greatly affect the levels of pollen and mold (2 of the most common allergens) present in the air. Warmer temperatures cause common allergens to flourish and subsequently worsen your hay fever symptoms. And with Earth's climate warming at a pace never experienced in the past 11,000 years, we are primed to witness an increase in runny noses, red eyes and fits of sneezes.
It is true that the timing and severity of the infamous "hay fever season" varies upon what region of the world you tend to call home. However, the following climate variables have a direct effect on how bad your symptoms may be:
- Tree, grass and ragweed pollens thrive on cool nights and warm days.
- Molds like heat and humidity.
- Pollen levels tend to peak in the morning hours.
- Rain washes pollen away, but their counts can soar after a rain.
- On a day with no wind, airborne allergens are grounded.
- When the day is windy and warm, pollen counts surge.
- Moving to another climate to avoid allergies is usually not successful — allergens are virtually everywhere.
Here's a handy tool that identifies when and where certain allergy sources are common to affect you within South Africa:
|Pollen Season
|Eucalyptus spp. (Blue Gum)
|Mainly in Gauteng, but scattered throughout SA
|More or less all year round, except in the Cape. Pollen not very prolific
|Acacia spp.
|All areas
|August to December
|Willows (Salix spp.)
|All areas
|Very little pollen, as only female trees have been imported
|Yellowwoods (Podocarpus spp.)
|Mostly in the Cape
|Oak trees (Quercus spp.)
|Mostly in the Cape
|Varies - mostly late August
|Stinkwood (Ocotea bullata)
|Western Cape
|Cypress and Juniper (Cupressus and Juniperus spp.)
|All areas
|August, September
|Plane (Platanus spp.)
|Many urban areas
|Mainly September
Source: American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology
|Peak pollen period:
|Meadow grass or Kentucky Blue Grass (Poa annua)
|Coastal areas, interior except Western and Northern border
|August, September
|Bermuda Grass or Couch Grass (Cynodon dactylon)
|All areas
|September to May
|Common Reed (Phragmites spp.)
|All areas
|Rooigras (Themeda triandra)
|All areas except western Northern Cape
|June to November
|Love Grass (Eragrostis spp.)
|All areas
|August to February
|Thatching grass (Hyparrhenia spp.)
|Mainly northern and eastern parts of the country
|September to February
|Kikuyu (Pennisetum setaceum)
|Most urban areas
|September to February

But it's not all doom and gloom for allergy sufferers. There are things we can do to prevent (or lessen) your next hay fever attack. These tips include washing your hair before bed if you've recently been outdoors, taking antihistamine tablets before the allergy season begins, limiting outdoor activity when pollen counts are high, and consider using a dryer for your washing (instead of hanging garments on an outdoor clothes line).
Yours in Weather,

Some parts of the walking and bike path on Decatur's west side are closed because of flooding, but the nice weather is still encouraging cyclists to get out and be active.
Local law enforcement and cyclists say Decatur is a safe place for bikers. The Macon County Sheriff's Office said it rarely sees bike accidents, but when closed paths force bikers to ride on the roads, not following the rules is when danger can occur.
Once riders are snapped in, fastened up and pushing forward, they're ready to hit the road because sometimes biking on a path isn't always an option.
"If you get out into the country, you can do like a three hour ride and have four cars pass you, so there's plenty of roads out there to ride on," explained Kyle May owner of Spin City Cycles in Decatur. He has mapped out his routes and been biking for most of his life.
"It's a little intimidating riding on the road," he said.
But it doesn't have to be unsafe.
"The best way to be able to approach a bicyclist is to reduce speed, give them a safe distance and then if you're going to overcome them make sure that you do so in a safe manner," explained Sheriff Tom Schneider of the Macon County Sheriff's Office.
Cyclists need to be aware of their surroundings while riding on the road or the trail and ride with traffic, not against it.
"You can't just drive through stop signs, so it's important that they know they have to adhere to the rules and regulations just like anybody else," he said.
So when biking stops at the paths, there's no reason not to share the road.
"Yeah, I feel safe," May said.
Sheriff Schneider added that children ages five to 14 years old are seen in the emergency room more for bike-related injuries than any other sport. Helmets can reduce severe brain injuries by 88 percent.

Romney's In-State Tuition Charge
By Angie Drobnic Holan
Published on Wednesday, December 5th, 2007 at 11:25 a.m.
Romney has attacked new front-runner Huckabee on immigration repeatedly. One target has been Huckabee's support for in-state college tuition to the children of illegal immigrants.
"Giving a tuition break to the children of illegals that are here illegally when citizens are having to pay a higher rate, that makes no sense to me at all and that's something Mike Huckabee supported when he was governor of Arkansas," Romney said.
"I vetoed a measure like that in my state and that veto was upheld."
Romney uses the shorthand "tuition breaks for the children of illegals" to discuss legislation that allows illegal immigrants graduating from public schools to get in-state tuition in the state where they live. He's right when he says he successfully vetoed legislation that would have done that in Massachusetts, and that Mike Huckabee supported a similar measure in Arkansas.
But does the legislation really equal "tuition breaks for the children of illegals"? Is that an accurate way to characterize the measure?
Here's how supporters of the legislation see it:
Young children are brought to the United States with their parents, often before the children are old enough to realize they're breaking the law. They attend public schools, which cannot bar students based on immigration status. If the kids do well and graduate, they apply to college along with their classmates.
But they soon learn that applying to college as an undocumented immigrant presents a host of challenges. They're not eligible for federal loans. They can't work legally. In some cases, they can't get a driver's license. And in most states, because they aren't citizens, they're not eligible for in-state tuition rates at state schools, which tend to be significantly lower than the rates charged to out-of-state students.
"A lot of times the students don't even know they're not legal citizens. They find out when they apply to college," said Sherri Steisel, federal affairs counsel with the National Conference of State Legislatures.
The laws on in-state tuition allow illegal immigrants who came to this country as children to receive the same tuition as their classmates. Ten states have passed these laws, which typically include having students sign statements saying they want to resolve their immigration status. The states are California, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah and Washington. Huckabee supported a measure in Arkansas that ultimately failed.
Critics says the laws violate the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, which prohibits states from providing college education benefits to illegal immigrants unless any U.S. citizen or national is eligible for the same benefit. In response, the states have crafted their laws carefully so they focus on in-state high school attendance. So far, the laws have survived court challenges, Steisel said.
At a Republican debate in November 2007, Huckabee defended himself against Romney's attacks, saying the Arkansas legislation he supported was intended to give resident students who are not citizens the same chances their peers have to attend college.
"They didn't get something better; they had to earn it," Huckabee said.
(Huckabee also exaggerated some of the regulations for the proposed law in Arkansas; we checked those claims previously here .)
Romney is right that Huckabee supported the measure. We disagree with the way he describes the measure as "a tuition break to the children of illegals that are here illegally when citizens are having to pay a higher rate." That would have been true only for citizens who live outside the state of Arkansas. For Arkansas students who graduated from Arkansas high schools, the law would have given them all the same tuition rate.
Romney may even realize this point but chose to ignore it. When he vetoed the legislation in Massachusetts in 2004, he said, "I hate the idea of in any way making it more difficult for kids, even those who are illegal aliens, to afford college in our state. But equally, perhaps a little more than equally, I do not want to create an incentive to do something which is illegal."
That's some distance from his recent comments that the proposal "makes no sense to me at all."
We find Romney's claim that he vetoed such a bill True. But we find his shorthand of a "tuition break" for illegal immigrants glosses over a more complicated issue. We find that part of his argument Half True.

LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. —
Laurel County Sheriff's officials have released surveillance photos in hopes of catching the man who robbed a south Laurel BP/Krystal twice last week.
Deputy and Public Affairs Officer Gilbert Acciardo said investigators are currently "interviewing persons of interest" in the case.
"We've sent the photos to the newspapers and posted videos on TV and on our (Laurel County Sheriff's Office) Facebook page," Acciardo said. "We're hoping that someone will give us information that will help in apprehending the suspect or suspects in this case."
The south Laurel BP/Krystal on Ky. 770, just off the I-75 Exit 29, was hit not once, but twice in a three-day period by the man described as a white male between the ages of 40 and 50 with a gray beard, weighing between 200 and 210 pounds. In the first robbery, which took place on Friday, March 22 around 8:40 p.m., the robber entered the store with a semi-automatic pistol and demanded money from the clerk on duty. The clerk reported the man was wearing a blue hoodie, cap, blue jeans, flip flops and socks.
The second robbery came on Monday night, March 25, just after 10 p.m., when a white male entered the store with a semi-automatic pistol, demanded money from the clerk, and fled on foot.
The same clerk who was on duty on Friday night when the first robbery occurred was on duty Monday.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the sheriff's office at (606) 864-6600.

With Super Bowl Sunday practically here, just a couple of days away, the hubby and I were discussing our party menu, because while he goes for the traditional, deep-fried greasy fare, you guys know I like to keep things on the lighter side--but I'll never forgo flavor.
Thanks to Pinterest, I think we may have found a compromise: crispy, spicy wings made with...cauliflower?!?! Yep, that's right, the little white veggie. But I never would have talked my husband into substituting his favorite chicken wings with cauliflower if it hadn't been for this mouth-watering photo. I followed the pin to its source on the Authentic Suburban Gourmet blog and found this amazing recipe for "wings" and the delicious blue cheese dipping sauce to go with them, too.
Cauliflower Buffalo "Wings"
- 1 Head Cauliflower
- 1 Cup 1% Milk
- 3/4 Cup Whole Wheat Flour
- 1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
- 1 Tablespoon Butter
- 1/2 Cup Frank's Red Hot Sauce
- 1/2 Cup Blue Cheese Dressing (recipe below)
Preheat oven to 450 Degrees. Trim the head of cauliflower into appetizer sized bites and set aside. In a bowl stir together milk, flour and garlic powder. Dip each piece of cauliflower into the batter and allow the extra batter to drip off. Place on a greased baking sheet. Spray the tops of the florets with cooking oil. Bake for 18 minutes.
- 1/2 Cup Maytag Blue Cheese
- 1/2 Cup English Stilton
- 1 Cup Low-fat Buttermilk
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 1/2 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1/4 Teaspoon Salt
- 6-8 Grinds of Fresh Pepper

FOX 8 received this news release from Louisiana State Police Thursday afternoon
Last night, at approximately 8:45 PM, Louisiana State Police Troop B investigated a fatal crash in St. Bernard Parish on LA 47 at St. Jean Baptiste Street. The crash claimed the life of Walter Sing (W/M, age 74) of Metairie, LA.
Preliminary investigation revealed that a 2011
Toyota Tundra driven by Korey Alphonso (W/M, age 20) of Violet, LA, was
traveling south on LA 47 at St. Jean Baptiste Street in the right lane.
Sing was crossing LA 47 and was struck by the Toyota. Sing was transported
to the Interim LSU Public Hospital Level 1 Trauma Center where he later died.
Alphonso was not injured.
Speed and impairment are not believed to be
factors of the crash and toxicology results are pending an autopsy on Sing.
The crash remains under investigation.
Troopers urge both motorists and pedestrians to
remain vigilant while on area roadways and pay close attention to their
surroundings. Distraction, whether behind the wheel or as a pedestrian,
decreases awareness and reaction time possibly leading to life changing
consequences. Louisiana State Law requires pedestrians to utilize
sidewalks where accessible or walk along the left shoulder as far away from the
roadway as possible. Pedestrians should walk against the flow of traffic,
wear light colored clothing, and stay out of the travel lanes at all times.

Expanded season for Gaels football
The original eight-week regular OUA football season schedule has been expanded to nine weeks, with opening day slated for Wednesday, September 1. The Queen's Gaels will open their 2010 season on the road when they face the McMaster Marauders that day.
The reigning OUA champion Gaels, were originally scheduled to play Waterloo on Monday, September 6. However Waterloo's football program has been suspended for one year. The Gaels will instead have a bye week to prepare for their home opener against the Windsor Lancers on Sunday, September 12 at 1 pm.
The expanded OUA season ensures that every school will play an eight-game regular season schedule while keeping the current playoff structure of two quarter-finals, two semifinals and Yates Cup championship intact. The top six teams make the post-season, with the top two teams earning byes into the semifinals.
"The nine OUA football institutions made the best of a difficult situation by keeping the student-athlete in mind," said OUA executive director Ward Dilse. "By having a balanced regular-season schedule while keeping our current playoff structure, it gives all of our players a fair opportunity to win football's oldest trophy, the Yates Cup."
Schools can choose to begin training camps on Friday, Aug. 20 or Saturday Aug. 21, with medicals for student-athletes taking place the day before.

The dispute was short but bitter. As it celebrated the new year, Russian society did not notice that on the morning of Jan. 1 it had been drawn into the biggest foreign affairs conflict since the end of the Cold War. The Kremlin knew in advance that Ukraine was unable to pay for gas at Western European rates.
In a paradoxical way, from the point of view of international division of labor, Ukraine and Russia, just as in the Soviet period, make up an integral whole. After 1991, Russia, with its enormous natural resources, became a supplier of raw materials and energy for the West. But not all these resources can simply be sent straight out; indeed, from the standpoint of Europe's economic interests, it makes more sense that part of the energy in question be consumed in its country of origin, in making labor-intensive, fuel-intensive and ecologically harmful products that can then be moved along to the West. This is Ukraine's specialty.
Without Russia, Ukrainian industry makes no sense, while for the Russian raw materials economy Ukraine represents not only a transit corridor but also an important staging area — an advance outpost on the road to Europe. It is this, and not some mythical blood kinship or linguistic unity, that predetermines the invariable pro-Russian orientation of the eastern and southern parts of Ukraine. People speak better Russian in Kiev than in Donetsk.
But it isn't the purity of Russian that determines policy and politics. It is economic interests. So the real blow delivered by Moscow's policy was absorbed by the Russian-speaking regions of Ukraine. They use the larger share of imported fuel. The largest share of industry is concentrated there, as is the more urbanized population that depends more on a central supply of fuel. And Ukraine's own fuel sources are located precisely in the west, which has a self-sustaining energy capability.
Demanding $230 for gas instead of $50 is the same as demanding Ukraine close down its economy and furlough the population. Which was understood in Moscow no worse than in Kiev. But it's another thing altogether to see that Russian industry could not gain great advantages from the bankruptcy of its western neighbor. The Russian metallurgical industry could not win new markets for itself after a production halt in Ukraine — as it is now Russian productive capabilities are used only on a by-order basis. For the construction of new enterprises considerable investment would be necessary. Thus the interests of Russian companies that had already poured funds into Ukraine were put at risk.
The Kremlin clearly felt it could pressure Kiev via the European Union. The Putin people were fairly chortling at the prospect of watching Ukrainians and Western Europeans bump heads. But that kind of game requires real nerve and a fairly large degree of independence from the West. Moscow's policy would only have been effective if Gazprom had categorically refused to compensate the Europeans for the fall-off in deliveries: We held up our end of things, they could have said; if the gas doesn't go through, blame Ukraine. But having announced their intention to compensate for gas lost over Ukraine, Moscow assumed de facto responsibility for the situation. After a few days, it turned out that Russia's attempt to have its way with its western neighbor had misfired, producing nothing. And the irritation of the Europeans was directed not at Kiev but at the Kremlin.
As you would expect, feeling pressure from the West, Moscow immediately did an about-face, covering itself with an attractive compromise. Ukraine was to have a price that gave Russia a minimal profit yet represented the maximum that the user industries could pay.
What was all this really about? Please, we can do without fairy tales about an "argument between managerial entities." The decision to launch this war was political, just as was the decision to retreat quickly. Of course the bureaucratic incompetence of the Kremlin bosses and their devotion to market fundamentalism can't be dismissed from the equation. But internal political considerations played no less a part than economic interests did.
The rulers of Russia are slowly and uncertainly trying to construct a new "national ideology." This ideology needs an enemy. And Ukraine is just the kind of enemy that meets the appropriate criteria of size and ideology for contemporary Russia's capabilities. Enmity with Ukraine reemphasizes the destruction of the Soviet Union (not only in a formal political sense, but in economic and cultural terms) — which is the general strategic goal of both the post-Soviet elite in Moscow and the imperial leadership in Washington.
Ten days have not yet passed since Kyiv and Moscow had finally come to an agreement regarding natural gas prices, when a subject to a new controversy emerged-a lighthouse in the Crimea. Actually there is nothing special about the lighthouse itself. It shines the same way both for Russian and Ukrainian ships. From Russia's Black Sea Fleet functionaries' point of view however it constitutes an integral part of the Fleet's cartography service, while for the Ukrainian authorities it is a state property, which had illegally been taken away from them by foreigners.
If Russian officials were the ones to initiate the row on the New Year's Eve, now the Ukrainians are taking over. They had captured the lighthouse in Yalta and wouldn't give it back. Clear enough that the Russian Fleet was in combat readiness and placed guards on other facilities: the Ukrainians, unsatisfied with the lighthouse alone, might take away something else.
Heavy artillery had been introduced into the game. Fortunately, only diplomatic one for now. Ukrainian foreign minister Borys Tarasyuk in his Saturday speech had stated that this was mostly about the restitution process for all the lighthouses on the Crimean territory: "Russia has been illegally utilizing all hydrographic navigational service facilities. In this case we are witnessing a legitimate process which derives directly from the Ukrainian legislature", said the minister. "There is no legal ground for Russia to claim that these facilities are of any relation to the Black Sea Fleet".
The Russians didn't keep them waiting. Aid to the Russian Navy's Commander-in-Chief Igor Dygalo said that the Russian fleet would allow no capture of other facilities of the Fleet's hydrographic service. "With regard to this the security on these objects is reinforced. In case of any attempt of trespassing security will be subjected to additional reinforcement as is stated in the Security Service Regulations".
Shortly speaking, the two parties are positive to go on with their row. Kyiv thinks that Moscow has to pay ransom for the gas deal in the form of the Crimean estate. Moscow strongly believes that gas heaters are one thing and Yalta lighthouses are another. On formal terms at least, they are right.
By a weird coincidence the same week President Viktor Yushchenko promised to do away with the political reform. As we know, in the dramatic presidential elections times the Verkhovna Rada and the Supreme Court of Ukraine supported the claim to do re-voting, but in return Yushchenko promised to carry out a political reform in spring of 2006. This reform meant to delegate power over to the Parliament. At that point Yushchenko's supporters were strongly convinced about having approval of the majority of the electorate which would even grow stronger when they (Yushchenko and his team) would come to power. They were wrong. Bummer! Not only was the population disappointed with the results of the "orange revolution", but the "orange block" split itself. Now Yushchenko will either have to make peace with Yuliya Tymoshenko, or negotiate with his recent enemy Viktor Yanukovitch. The second option, by the way, given the existing force ratio and mutual interests, is likely to happen, but that's the hell of a humiliation, though! Besides, there is a bunch of minor actors messing around-socialists, the Verkhovna Rada speaker Volodymyr Lytvyn, and god knows who is to be in the next Parliament! And then will come constant bargaining, and looking behind. Life turns into a nightmare.
In plain terms, the President had simply decided to let down all his partners on this treaty. The only thing needed is some political reasoning.
To let go the power in the middle of the external political crisis is impossible. But the crisis wouldn't occur! So the fight is put on a special order.
One way to avoid political reform, according to Yushchenko, is to organize the national referendum. What if the citizens would suddenly vote against the President? How would Kyiv's political elite act if the population's reaction to another episode of the epic but less and less thrilling "Moscow and Kyiv battle" series will differ from the expected one? In the gas case the public support is more or less predictable, Moscow itself didn't look attractive enough. The whole 'lighthouse affair' is kind of cheesy, though. It is even less mobilizing for the masses than the unfortunate dam case in Tuzla.
Russian authorities do not yet have such problems. No one calls for the political reform, and, generally speaking, there is no one but Presidential Administration to advance new ideas. However, carrying out stable policy within the Administration is not easier than forming coalitions in Ukraine.
To fight with the neighbor, however, Moscow is willing anytime. Nationalism does need an enemy and Yushchenko is glad to be of service for the Kremlin in this role. To refuse such an offer would mean committing a sin! I love to hate you!
So, if there is someone Yushchenko can surely rely on and confer his plans to, it is the Kremlin.

FLYING START FOR PARALYMPICS: Families are so proud
11:30am Monday 3rd September 2012 in News
BIGGEST FANS: Victoria Rickham, Elethia Rickham and David Rickham, sister, mum and dad of Paralympic sailor Alex Rickham, at Castle Cove Sailing Club
FAMILIES spoke of their pride after watching their loved-ones out on the water.
While the Paralympic sailors are putting their all into their medal bids, mums, dads and siblings are willing them on from the shore of Portland Harbour.
Alex Rickham 's sister Victoria spoke of the 'limitless' amount of hard work her sister had put in to reaching the top.
Alex and her teammate Niki Birrell are looking to achieve a medal in the Skud-18 two-person keelboat.
Victoria said: "They did really well yesterday. Today they're fourth, which still keeps them in the running at these early stages.
"But we're tense because we know they are going to be disappointed. My sister channels her anger in to driving her to perform better, so we're hoping it will drive her on. They've put in limitless amounts of hard work.
"They got together nine months before the Beijing Games, and they did really well, we were proud.
"Looking back in hindsight, that was really the first big part of their preparation for this year.
"They have done so much work: reassessing, streamlining, and getting the right people to work with them.
"My sister is relatively new to sailing and it's been a huge learning curve. She's really up to speed and has worked so hard."
John Robertson 's dad Ian said he was 'delirious' with pride to see his son in action in the Sonar three person keelboat class.
He said: "It goes deeper than to say I'm proud. I rarely communicate with him when he's competing but he knows I'm here. As long as he's happy, I'm happy."
Both added that they hoped having the Paralympics in home waters will raise the profile of Paralympic sport and encourage others to get involved.
Mr Robertson said: "It's changing people's attitude to disability.
"There's still a way to go, but things are definitely changing."
Miss Rickham added: "Having the Paralympics in Britain is amazing. It's signalling to the rest of the world to keep up.
"So many people get confused between special and Paralympic – these are serious athletes, it's just that they have disabilities.
"With what they have overcome, they're even more incredible."
- CULTURAL events will be running throughout the Paralympics. As part of the Maritime Mix London 2012 Cultural Olympiad by the Sea and the b-side multimedia arts festival there will be a whole host of events taking place in Weymouth and Portland until September 9.
Events include Babygrow at Fortuneswell laundrette, and talking sculptures at Chiswell Community Garden as part of play Waiting for Godot.

Allied News
Hot summer weather often leads to cooling off in the pool or at the beach, but it also means an increased risk of drowning.
"People just don't understand and appreciate the power of water," said Robert Ogoreuc of Wolf Creek Township, who's also president of the National Drowning Prevention Alliance and assistant professor in the physical education department at Slippery Rock University.
Ogoreuc, also director of aquatics at SRU and the school's former swimming coach, is an Indiana, Pa., native and graduate of the Indiana University of Pennsylvania, where he was on the swim team.
"That really intrigued me," he said of how that sparked his interest in water safety and drowning prevention.
The father of an 8-year-old girl and 5-year-old son, Ogoreuc is always hit hard by stories like that of Mark Goodrich Jr., a 12-year-old Sharon boy who drowned July 12 in the Shenango River.
"It's very tragic," he said.
But stories like Mark's also push Ogoreuc to urge adults to keep a close eye on children who think swimming is all fun and games.
"The numbers are on the rise this summer," he said of drowning deaths.
The most recent statistics from the state Department of Health show Pennsylvania had 79 drowning deaths in 2010 and 91 in 2009, and his weekly check of various news outlets brings up at least one report of a drowning.
He's really concerned about the inexpensive, portable pools that can be set up at a moment's notice in someone's backyard, along with other hazards like decorative ponds and hot tubs.
"Children are exploratory," Ogoreuc said of how you can't turn your back on kids if water is nearby, even a full bathtub or five-gallon bucket.
Like the Fort Lauderdale-based National Drowning Prevention Alliance, he's an advocate for a three-pronged approach to water safety and drowning prevention: safer water, safer swimmers and safer response.
A big part of that is making sure children understand the dangers of water and always having adult supervision. Ogoreuc encourages "touch supervision," meaning get in the water with your kids and stay close enough to grab them if need be.
And it's never too soon to put your children in swimming lessons, commonly offered by the American Red Cross, YMCA or other community-based groups, he said.
But adults can drown, too.
"There are many adults that don't know how to swim. It's never too late to get started," Ogoreuc said.
Michael Schultz, 31, of Lower Burrell accidentally drowned in the Allegheny River Wednesday night after falling off a pontoon boat near Pittsburgh, according to the Associated Press on Friday.
Witnesses tell police Schultz had been partying with friends before he got onto the boat, and that there was alcohol on the boat from which he fell overboard, though authorities aren't sure if that was a factor. The victim's family says he wasn't a good swimmer and witnesses say a friend who dove into the river wasn't able to rescue Schultz before he went under water.
Pool owners need to be responsible and take extra precautions by securing the area around the water with a four-sided fence and latched gates, or even install a pool alarm.
Don't leave toys floating in the pool and steer clear of chlorine dispensers shaped like toys.
Ogoreuc also recommends taking the ladder away from above-ground pools when not in use and appointing a designated adult to keep kids away from pools during parties or other gatherings. Homeowners can even hire a lifeguard to come supervise the pool.
And it doesn't hurt to ask if there's a pool, pond or other body of water at the homes of your children's friends if they'll be visiting, he said.
"It's interesting hearing them talk about water safety," he said of how his own children think safety first.
Do some research while planning the family vacation because the beach you're looking at might not have lifeguards on duty, said Ogoreuc, who also works the summer beach patrol at Ocean City, N.J.
"Moving water can be very dangerous," he said, adding rivers, lakes and streams to the list and reminding people to use designated swimming areas.
The most recent area drowning he could recall happened in July 2010, when Carnez Boone, 14, of Collingdale, Pa., died after jumping off the diving board and had trouble resurfacing while on a field trip at Stoneboro's Lakeside Park Beach.
Ogoreuc's experiences with water rescue and educating others through the Alliance have allowed him to work with some great people, including those who want to get involved with drowning prevention after losing a loved one in a water-related accident. He's also been encouraged by his work at the Jersey Shore with junior lifeguards and would like to see local communities and school districts adopt water safety programs.

East Lancashire carer stole using OAP's bank card (From Blackburn Citizen)

East Lancashire carer stole using OAP's bank card
10:00pm Tuesday 18th February 2014 in News
A SENIOR care worker at a nursing home repeatedly used a bank card belonging to a 91-year-old resident without her permission.
Blackburn magistrates heard Ashley Jordan drew out cash, paid for shopping and bought an expensive mobile phone using the card.
The thefts came to light when there was insufficient money in the woman's account to pay for her residential fees at the Oswaldtwistle home.
And the court was told the victim had been left 'distraught' by his actions and the consequences.
Jordan, 28, of Church Street, Church, pleaded guilty to seven charges of fraud by abuse of position at the White Ash Brook Care Home relating to the card belonging to Lily Temme and one similar offence belonging to another resident, Edward Taylor.
He was sent on bail to Preston Crown Court to be sentenced at a later date.
Catherine Allan, prosecuting, said when the shortfall in Mrs Temme's account was discovered, she was taken to the bank where the unauthorised transactions were revealed.
More than £1,000 was missing from her account.
Miss Allan said: "She was distraught over this incident which caused her mental harm.
"The victim is extremely distressed every time this is mentioned. She was totally reliant on the honesty and integrity of the staff who worked there."
Aftab Bakhat, defending, said his client accepted the offences were 'distasteful in the extreme'.
He said: "This is a young man with no previous convictions who has pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity and shown genuine remorse.
"People make mistakes and the one made by my client has already cost him his job and his good name."

"People make mistakes and the one made by my client has already cost him his job and his good name."
If the above is true then I think should count for something. Whilst he should be punished for his crime I don't think a prison sentence is appropriate unless it is suspended. He should me made to pay back every penny and do some community service.
He could be a half decent bloke who found an easy way to steal money and took advantage of it.
Of course he could be pure scum in which a second offence would not be too far away which then would warrant a prison sentence.
Just an opinion.

Sports arena food is not what it used to be! Once the domain of plain hot dogs, hamburgers and cheese nachos, this expanding culinary segment is now filled with gourmet choices.Orlando's Amway Center just rolled out a new menu of upscale items to be served at its restaurants and food windows during Magic games.
Amway Center Executive Chef Javier Rosa showcased some of his new creations during a recent taste test for Orlando Magic staffers. Some of the new fare includes pork belly sliders, shrimp flatbread, and Loaded nachos topped with chicken braised in Mexican tinga sauce.

It's the holiday season, and a couple of local organizations need your help.
It doesn't cost that much to make a difference in someone's life.
One gift can change the world, that's why Trinity Baptist Church is partnering up with operation Christmas child.
Operation Christmas Child State Coordinator, Rhonda Blankenship said, "What it is, is you get shoe boxes, and you fill them with miscellaneous items from household items hygiene items."
Blakenship said they put a gospel message in each box.
"And you put it in a box and seal it up, and it goes through out the world to children who have never received gifts most likely," Blankenship said.
Another local organization that's an Independent Riding Association is looking to give back to the community as well.
A Roaddog Member, Angelo Bianco said, "We're just a bunch of guys who come together and our goal is to give Christmas to children that may not have Christmas."
Bianco said they're selling Roaddog shirts, and sweatshirts to buy Christmas presents for children
"After we collect all the money on December 6th, and December 7th we write a check to Walmart, and Walmart gives us all the toys and we deliver it to the Salvation Army," said Bianco.
Bianco said last year they raised $25,000, and are hoping to raise at least that amount this year.
If you want to help donate a shoebox, Trinity Baptist Church is collecting them through next Monday morning at their church.
If you want to donate or buy a shirt from the Roaddogs go to kulr-8 and click on connections.
