Special Issue "Trophic Interactions of Insects and Amphibians"

Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The purpose of this special issue is to highlight the trophic interactions of insects and amphibians. The most commonly known interaction between these two classes of animals involves predator-prey, with insects serving as prey of amphibians. In light of the global decline of amphibians, there is an urgent need to devise methods of rearing insects as food for endangered or threatened species in captive propagation. Insects also function as natural enemies of amphibians. Although there are some published studies that document insect predation or parasitism, few if any of these studies indicate whether insects can significantly affect the population dynamics of their prey (or hosts). Competition for limited resources between insects and amphibians can occur in some habitats. Research on this interaction is necessary to determine what abiotic or biotic variables we can manipulate to influence the outcome of competition. Finally, insects serve as dietary sources of toxins found in the skin secretions of amphibians. Can we extract these toxins and formulate them into repellents against biting insects, such as mosquitoes? Articles in this special issue will address a diversity of topics dealing with trophic interactions of insects and amphibians from both a basic and applied framework. The submission of high quality articles on any trophic interaction of these two classes of animals is encouraged.

NBCNEWS.COM - When Stephanie Lambert packed peanut butter and jelly to keep her two small children happy on a cross-country flight in June, she didn't mean to pick a fight with the Transportation Security Administration. But after a long security line argument, and the confiscation of the peanut butter (but not the jelly), she felt she had no choice.
Then, after churning through the four-page "SF-95 Tort Claim Package forms," she got something else she never expected: a $3.99 refund from the U.S. Treasury Department.
Lambert was traveling with her
husband, a 6-month-old and a 2-year-old on an ungodly early flight in
June, and arrived at the airport about 5 a.m. She was flying from Los
Angeles to Pittsburgh, and she needed the usual bag of distractions and
food to keep her kids -- and other passengers -- sane during the trip.
But, she says, her efforts to ensure a smooth flight were foiled when a
TSA agent with a bad attitude singled out her family for additional
screening. After the usual pat-downs and questions, discussion centered
on the jar of peanut butter. click here to read more

Giving a Helping Hand to First-Years
Submitted by Nadine Fiedler on Wed, 03/21/2012 - 10:51am
From the Winter 2011-12 Caller
By Sue Phillips and David Zonana
Students new to Catlin Gabel, as well as those arriving from our Middle School, find a perfect opportunity to reinvent themselves in their freshman year. While the adults in the Upper School community welcome this reinvention, we know that teenagers find this change both exhilarating and frightening. Fortunately, the freshman team made up of teachers and staff are there to support the students through their first year, cheer them on, and help them when they struggle.
The Freshman Toolkit
This year we reinvigorated the five-year-old Freshman Toolkit. Our 9th graders typically have, for the first time in their school lives, several unstructured free periods each week. To help them establish habits that will support their success, a group of Upper School faculty developed the Toolkit curriculum, which includes structured skills sessions and supervised study time. During the weeks between the beginning of school and Thanksgiving break, freshmen attended two Toolkit sessions each week: a skills session, and a supervised study session managed by a rotating group of committed faculty and staff. The skills sessions taught students strategies for keeping a calendar to manage their assignments, meetings with teachers, sports practices, and after-school activities, and emphasized managing multi-step assignments that require work over the course of a few weeks.
Other skills sessions focused on students' learning styles, working effectively with an academic adviser, and developing a plan for fulfilling community service hours in a meaningful way. Our freshmen met a second time each week in their groups, and followed a protocol of reporting on the homework they planned to complete during that time. The overall purpose of Toolkit was to help our 9th graders understand how to organize and prioritize their lives so they can get their work done in time to enjoy dinner with their families, have a chance to socialize with friends, and get enough sleep to be ready for the next day.
Our learning specialist Cindy Murray is a key supporter of Toolkit, and was central to its establishment this fall. She says that it's effective because students have learned how to start to take responsibility for their learning in ways that allow them to become successful. While the program will evolve based on feedback, we anticipate continuing to offer it next year.
The freshman class trip
The freshman class trip is an important first step in helping our 9th graders become part of the Upper School community. During this three-day experience, new freshmen get to know each other, connect with faculty, gain understanding of the culture of the Upper School, and begin to form an identity as a cohesive class. For the last three years, this trip has taken place at Scouter's Mountain, a woodsy camp where students sleep in rustic boxcars and teepees. The setting of the retreat and the activities that fill each day are designed to provide a context for the development of strength of self and community that will be important for students' happiness and achievement in the Upper School. The values, support from upperclassmen and faculty, friendships, and willingness to put oneself in some new and uncomfortable situations provide a starting point for the open-minded and resilient traits found in many of our Upper School students.
The freshman class trip is made up of a variety of activities, from the simple, practical tasks of preparing and cleaning up meals for over 100 peers to an evening of square dancing called by Dave Corkran, retired history teacher. Students on the trip participate in a day-long community service project in collaboration with the National Forest Service. This year, the class of 2015 spent a day in the sun planting hundreds of trees and completing important habitat restoration work along an old road in the Mt. Hood National Forest. The on-site ropes course provides another afternoon of group and individual challenge, and a setting for problem solving and bonding. Simple challenges, such as one that requires the group to pass a carabiner from one end of a rope to another, become moments of intense focus, communication, and collaboration.
Students also take part in quiet activities, such as nature sketching, writing workshops, and community values discussions. This year, international mountaineer Willy Oppenheim came to give an inspiring talk about his most recent trip to Pakistan, where he combined research on girls' education with an attempt to scale an unclimbed Himalayan peak. On the final morning of the trip, students draft letters to their future selves that we give back to them when they enter their senior year. We end the last night of the trip with a talent show around the fire. This year, as spirits were high on this final evening, and many members of the class of 2015 had already shared songs or silly acts, freshman Matthew Bernstein came to the front of the group with just his guitar, voice, and a thoughtful original song and captivated the entire audience. We will remember that for a long time.
Support from older students
This year we've had some of the strongest leadership ever by older students on behalf of the new 9th graders. Each spring, the faculty nominates seniors for leadership roles on the freshman class trip. These students consistently impress us with their commitment as role models, camp counselors, dynamic leaders, and gentle confidantes to their younger peers, both on the trip and afterward. For many freshmen, this is their first experience of having an older, established student as an ally and potential friend, and the experience is powerful. Seniors have a vested interest in transmitting all that they find best about the culture of the school they have grown to love, and they're cognizant of their responsibility as mentors and role models.
Last spring, junior Ella Bohn called a meeting among members of her class to gauge interest in establishing a junior mentors program. Nearly half the class turned out and signed up to help, and late this past summer Ella met with us to match each freshman with one of the juniors. The mentors met, planned, and reached out to the 9th graders one on one to ask how they were doing. Ella said she had realized that "it might have been helpful to have someone to talk to about all the things people think you are supposed to know" by the time you arrive in the Upper School. Juniors have been here for three years, and they are a friendly, approachable group who "know how things work."
The freshman class may not realize the framework that has quietly been constructed to support them through their first year in the Upper School. We are proud that their team of advocates includes not only teachers and staffers, but also trusted older students who are more influential than they recognize. Their peer-to-peer mentoring creates caring, supportive, and respectful collaboration with the 9th graders, and importantly, encourages the transmission of Catlin Gabel's values and ethos to this next generation of younger teens.
Sue Phillips has been the Upper School librarian since 2004. She is a research geek who loves to laugh, work in the garden, and play early music. David Zonana is an outdoor education teacher who has long held an interest in the potential of adventure for growth and learning. Since 2006 he has led students on mountaineering, rafting, backpacking, llama packing, rock climbing, and sea kayaking trips.

Dr. Henry Jay Heimlich is famous for saving thousands of lives with his research and implementation of Heimlich maneuver.
What you may not know is Dr. Heimlich, now 93, invented a medical breakthrough every decade for 40 years. His inventions span from an eye infection treatment during World War II to his widespread maneuver to save choking victims.
Some of those inventions, he says, came to him while sitting at a stop light.
Dr. Heimlich also talked to Tricia about what he's most proud of, his 61 year marriage to his wife, Jane, who recently passed away. A woman he fell in love with 'at first sight', while enjoying an ice cream soda.
"Do people come up to you and say 'you saved my mom's life with the Heimlich maneuver'?" Tricia asks.
"Almost always. It's very wonderful."

True to measurements and color. Real wood as described. Hardware works well. Install screws were cheap grade of chinese metal and stripped very easily, but for the price more than happy to work around that.
Came super fast, in perfect condition. Replaced an ugly old shade we have been meaning to change out for years. Easy to install-exactly what we were looking for. Great price for a large size blind.
I ordered these blinds for a dining room window. I was somewhat concerned that they would not be formal enough for the room, but behind my drapes, they look great. The wood color (I ordered pecan) is as it was pictured. I had been getting a great deal of afternoon sun through my draperies, and was looking for blinds that would minimize the sun, but not "cheapen" the look of the room. These were the perfect choice. Everyone has commented on how beautiful they are, and I have noticed a huge difference in the temperature of the room in the afternoons...much cooler. They installed easily as well. Wonderful product for the price.
These blinds look fantastic. The oak color is warm and beautiful, quality is good, and I especially like the finished look the matching wood valance gives to the blinds. I plan to order more for several other rooms.
Great for the price... Looks great blocks out sunlight and easy to install.....Would recommend this for the price they are great looking....
I purchased these 65in wood blinds to stage a home for sale. As a interior designer my opinion is these blinds are several hundred less then stores in my area and the quality is beyond amazing. Also the the wood valance is beautiful, which I have not seen on other higher priced wood blinds.. Thank you so much overstock MF

The American Association for Pediatrics (AAP) released a statement on their website applauding the president's efforts and for considering their recommendations, especially when it came to allowing doctors to ask patients if there is a gun in their home.
"Among other proposals, the President took action to direct the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other agencies to research the causes and prevention of gun violence and to clarify that the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit doctors from asking their patients about guns in the home," says the AAP's statement in part.
President Obama said during his gun control address on Wednesday that doctors can tell patients and their guardians how to safely store the gun, especially if either is mentally ill.
The AAP says they're glad the president is on the same page with them about accessible mental health access and gun control – because they say the two go hand-in-hand. They say doctors, even pediatricians they say, can help reduce the destructive effects of gun in the lives of children.
As a part of his address, Obama also said doctors and mental health professionals play an important role in protecting their patients and community by reporting direct, credible violent threats.
Obama clarified that there is no federal law – even the Affordable Care Act - that prohibits doctors from reporting these threats in any way.
What do you think: Should doctors be allowed to ask patients or parents if there is a gun in their home?

text: With record unemployment and an unprecedented housing crisis, it is easy to forget that just six short years ago, many businesses, residents, and state economists simply did not see, or at least openly raise red flags, about the impending implosion.The following quotes, in chronological order, document the economy through the lens of the State's periodic "Nevada Economy in Brief" reports from the Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation. Note how the tone of the commentary changed over time. June 2005 -- "Ho, hum. Another month of low unemployment, statewide job growth of more than 6 percent, and 3,000 new construction jobs. Many terms have been used to describe Nevada's economy (strong, robust and dynamic come to mind), but 'boring' usually has not been one of them."December 2006 -- "Despite the challenges posed by high oil prices, a slowdown in both the national and local housing markets and a reduction in the number of hotel rooms in Las Vegas, 2006 was another good year for the Nevada economy."June 2007 -- "Over the past two decades, Nevada's economy has led the nation in annual job growth a dozen times and usually has been described in glowing terms. But currently, the state's employment growth and unemployment rate could best be described as ...average!"December 2007 -- "The year 2007 was a less than memorable one for Nevada's economy. The housing slowdown, stagnating retail sales and tepid job growth contributed to a state budget shortfall ...When the final numbers are in, the state is likely to have seen its second weakest job growth -- better only than 2002 -- in the past 15 years."March 2008 -- "Nevada posted its highest rate of unemployment and lowest rate of job growth in nearly six years in March ...The only good news came from the state's mining regions."September 2008 -- "Changes in the national economic landscape have dominated headlines this fall as the ongoing credit crunch turned into a credit freeze. What was a lingering problem for consumers and commercial developers quickly became a full scale emergency as credit for doing daily business dried up."December 2008 -- "Nevada's economic conditions took a turn for the worse in the final months of 2008, and the deterioration was particularly evident in December. The statewide unemployment rate jumped a full percentage point to 9.1 percent (seasonally adjusted) from a revised 8.1 percent in November. The unemployment rate is the highest it has been since September 1983..."March 2009 -- "Nevadans searching for signs of economic recovery saw few reasons to be optimistic in March ...There were job losses in most major industries, record highs for unemployment insurance claims and a statewide unemployment rate that pushed to within 0.3 percentage point of the highest rate on record (10.7 percent)."September 2009 -- "The deterioration in Nevada's labor market eased a bit in September, but we will have to wait and see how future months unfold before we can conclude that the recession's grip on the state's economy is lessening ...The month-over-month increase in the unemployment rate was the smallest since March 2008, while the employment gain was the strongest since February 2007."December 2009 -- "December marked the end of a historically bad year for Nevada's economy, a year marred by record-setting unemployment and job loss ...In all, 76,100 jobs were lost from 2008 to 2009."June 2010 -- "Segments of Nevada's private sector showed signs of life in June, but overall, labor market weakness persisted. Reaching a new record high, Nevada's unemployment rate ticked up two-tenths of a percent to 14.2 percent, with an estimated 193,000 out of work."March 2011 -- "Nevada's labor markets showed signs of life in March, hinting at the beginning of a potential economic recovery. Employment increased on an over-the-year basis for the first time in 38 months, and results of the household survey showed a solid decline in unemployment."August 2011 -- "In August, Nevada's labor market continued on a path evident since the beginning of summer, marked by flat employment readings and an increasing jobless rate ...The good news is that dramatic job losses have subsided; unfortunately, it is not enough to put the unemployment rate on a consistent downward trajectory."

Hi guy's,
I have measured my crank for the rod bearings, cause this one did not have any, the ones that were in it were thrown away,(not by me)
my measurement was in inches. It was 1.475. Can anyone tell me what I need for rod bearings? I had some old standard bearings to try in it but they were too big. I could grab the journal and rattle it back and forth.
It is really nice to have a forum like this where a person can ask questions and get responses from people who know.

JACKSON, MS (WLBT)- A crime summit is held at Jackson's city hall Sunday afternoon.
There was a small showing for the meeting led by Ward 3 Councilman Kenneth Stokes. The "Saving and Reclaiming Our Youth" conference focused on crime prevention and how to keep children in school.
Several people walked up to the podium to share their experience with violence in the community. The founder of McCoy's Christian School on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive says their after school program helps to keep children in their books and off the street.
"We're trying to provide the best atmosphere and education and teach the children about Christ so we can eliminate some of the violence and some of the gangs that is going on," said Louise McCoy, founder of McCoy's Christian School.
"If you can see that if you drop our of school you're going to go to jail or something like that the vast majority, it looked like the solution would be to make sure we keep kids in school," added Councilman Stokes.
Two teens also talked about how they combat peer pressure and work hard in school. The crime summit lasted a little over an hour.

Two people are dead after a vehicle crashed into a pole and caught fire Thursday morning, Aug. 16, on U.S. 421 north of 116th Street.
Zionsville police Capt. Doug Gauthier said the department received a call about a car on fire at 5:36 a.m.
"A motorcyclist stopped and said that there were two people inside," he said. "By the time we got here, the car was fully engulfed in flames, and we were not able to get anyone out."
Gauthier said the 2004 four door Chevrolet hit a telephone pole at a high rate of speed causing the car to set fire.
"It was a single vehicle accident with no witnesses," he said. "We don't know what caused the car to hit the pole."
Gauthier said identification has not been confirmed due to the extent of the burns.
Gauthier said 421 was closed down to one lane in each direction for more than three hours while crews worked to clean up the scene. The case is still under investigation.

Help us raise £40k so Sophie can walk
7:50pm Monday 11th February 2013 in News By Tarik Al Rasheed
TWO devoted great-grandparents are launching an appeal to raise £40,000 for a pioneering operation that would enable their treasured great-granddaughter to walk for the first time.
Ann and Brian Richardson, from Colwall, near Malvern, have pledged to help their family raise the cash by the start of July so that six-year-old Sophie Thompson can have a selective dorsal rhizotomy operation that could completely change her life.
At 16-months-old Sophie was diagnosed with spastic diplegia cerebral palsy, meaning she is unable to walk without help.
At the moment her legs are in splints and she has to use a walking frame to get about or a wheelchair if she needs to travel any distance.
Sophie lives with her family in Poole, Dorset, but enjoys coming to visit Mr and Mrs Richardson in the shadow of the Malvern Hills.
When they heard there was an operation that could potentially help Sophie walk, play and be more independent they were determined to do all they could to help.
Dorset Health Authority is unable to fund the highly specialised surgery, which was pioneered in the USA and is only offered at Bristol's Frenchay hospital on these shores.
The cost of the surgery and subsequent physiotherapy and equipment required is estimated to be at least £40,000 and Mr and Mrs Richardson are doing all they can to help Sophie's campaign reach that amount.
"It is hard enough for a young family managing a child with a disability, let alone being told that they need to raise £40,000 to help them to walk," said Mr Richardson. "The surgeon has said she is an ideal candidate for the special surgery because she is so positive in her outlook and has a wonderful determined attitude.
"Her courage and determination has enabled her to attend school and is managing to keep up with her grades. She is also just within the age range for this operation."
Mr and Mrs Richardson are spreading word of Sophie's campaign locally and have been helped by Colwall business Artwork Creative Ltd, which has produced posters and flyers.
If Sophie's family reach their target, they want any extra raised to go to the charity Tree of Hope to help other children in a similar position.
Anyone who would like to make a donation can visit justgiving.com/mymagiclegs or send cheques (marked Sophie Thompson on the reverse) directly to Tree of Hope.

If the fiscal cliff is not avoided in Washington, D.C., children in Iowa from lower income families will be some of the first to feel the impact.
The topic was laid out in depth during a report written in July by U.S. Senator Tom Harkin called "Under Threat: Sequestration's Impact on Nondefense Jobs and Services".
The document describes the impact on individual states if Congress does not act before January 2013.
"Some members of Congress warn that defense contracting firms will lay off employees if sequestration goes into effect. They say nothing of the tens of thousands of teachers, police officers, and other public servants in communities all across America who would also lose their jobs. A laid-off teacher is just as unemployed as a laid-off defense contractor," Harkin writes. "In Iowa, the State I represent, 4,677 fewer people would be admitted to substance abuse treatment programs, 496 fewer veterans would receive employment assistance, and 1,588 fewer students would receive Federal Work Study financial aid."
The follow items are just a few of the many on the chopping block: Head Start, Child Development Block Grant, Maternal and Child Health Block grant, AIDS Drug Assistance Program, HIV Prevention and Testing, Breast Cancer and Cervical Cancer Screening, Childhood Immunization Grants, and Public Health Emergency Preparedness Grants.

Save Lyneham
The Wessex Association of Chambers of Commerce are supporting the North Wiltshire town Chambers of Commerce in their campaign to prevent Lyneham from becoming and economic wasteland. The economic impact to the North Wiltshire businesses and community at large will have a devasting effect. Our aim is to encourage the strategic defence review (which meets in October) to seriously consider filling the economic void by relocating other smaller military supply bases and a return base for troops returning from Germany to Lyneham.
Wootton Bassett, Lyneham, Calne, Malmesbury, Corsham, Cricklade, Melksham, Chippenham and other North Wiltshire communities suffer economically, with estimates of up to a 50% loss in trade for our towns that could turn this area into an economic wasteland. It will seriously affect all our lives.
The army wants to merge some of the smaller technical bases in Wiltshire. What better place for them to come to than Lyneham? A base big enough to take the amalgamation and have room for returning troops from Germany. It makes economic and geographical sense - and saves our towns.
Write for support to North Wiltshire MP - James Gray, and put your name to both our Twitter, and Facebook campaigns on `Lyneham Needs You`.
Continue our historic link with the services.
SPEAK UP NOW...and SAVE our TOWNS.

senior prank
Original post made by surprised on Jun 5, 2007
on Jun 5, 2007 at 6:48 pm
sounds like par for the course to me
i think that this type of response is to be expected
seriously, the days of innocence to which you harken are long gone
the party over
the mountain sold
these tricksters are lucky they don't get labled at terrorists
since they damaged public property
like those "radicals" in oregon
some students do some truly harmful not to mention idiotic things
like cutting down trees or blowing up drinking fountains
in case you forget
let this be a learining lesson
break the law
suffer the consequences
on Jun 5, 2007 at 11:43 pm
Wow. Coming from a place with a long tradition of clever hacks and pranks, such as when a group of students assembled a fully functional police car on the roof of the big dome at MIT -- I'm appalled. Smoke bombs (which can cause fire), okay, sure. But how could anyone mistake this for anything except a prank? I'm pretty humorless myself, and even **I** don't consider it vandalism...
on Jun 5, 2007 at 11:51 pm
You know something, there have been high schoolers vandalizing our local elementary for months, ruining a memorial garden for a child from our school, leaving trash and even used condoms lying around the playground and local park, things that should never be around small kids. I think a far better use of police time is to collect these items and have them DNA tested. THAT perp should be in jail; I can't even begin to fathom why a harmless prank like this Paly senior prank would warrant such heavyhandedness.

My thoughts won't be for this album in particular, but for all the new black metal musical direction. Many bands such as Darkthrone, Mayhem, Arcturus, Kovenant, Ulver, Thorns, have set sail to a kind of avant-garde musical expression, and Satyricon is in the front waging the flag. I love the old school black metal, the washed out and harsh recordings done overnight in a necrohell 4-track machine, but you can only keep pushing the cart for so long. It gets to a point where it may get boring seeing the outbreak of mediocre imitators that lack completely the essence of true black metal – which for me is simply express a deep feeling of anger, dispair and nihilism, no matter the musical form. Sooner or later you have to stop kicking the same dead horse, and take on a new approach, and that new approach is what you see in this work from Satyricon, and from many of the extremely skilled norwegian black metallers. A modern sound, keeping the familiar touch of grimness and coldness I have always loved, without falling into the cliche trends of techno and other stuff, that even though is valid, some bands just abuse of those resources.
So, all in all, I fully embrace this new approach from all these guys, not only Satyricon: a fresh sound, a break from the boring music being released nowadays.

A survey by Dr. Tim Ryan, a well respected economist and chancellor at the University of New Orleans, estimates that the Saints franchise generates $180 million yearly to New Orleans and Louisiana's economy. An additional $25 million in taxes from players and employee salaries are collected each year. In 2004 the state paid the Saints $7.1 million due to a shortfall of the designated $15 million to be collected from a hotel-motel tax levied in the New Orleans area. Naming rights for the Louisiana Superdome, which are not yet finalized, could bring an estimated $3 million to help close the gap.
Surely, Ms. Blanco understands the accounting process of not only developing new business, but retaining existing business in our state. Reports of $44 million in incentives were given to Union Tank Co. to relocate from another state to Alexandria. Sometimes, money has to be invested to better ourselves and make a profit.
The repercussions from losing the Saints are endless to everyone in the state. What would we do with an almost vacant Superdome? No Saints, no Superdome, no Super Bowls, and no annual Sugar Bowl. Major league sports bring a professional image to New Orleans and Louisiana. When a company surveys our area to locate a business, having the Saints is a definite plus.
One can make all the goofy jokes about the Saints not being a professional team and make remarks like, "I would rather pull for Jake and Carolina, anyway." But guess who the joke will be on one day if the Saints move to a bigger and hungrier city such as San Antonio, Las Vegas, or the NFL's choice, Los Angeles?
I respectfully request that Gov. Blanco use extreme caution when negotiating. Remember, Saints owner Tom Benson already has a contract in hand. We all must remember one more fact: If the saints leave, the NFL is gone forever in Louisiana.

AUG 27 Columnist Stephanie Grace is writing about those bosom buddies (not), Bobby Jindal and David Vitter, in this post. On the one hand, the two politicians have so much in common, it's hard to tell them apart, she says. But Vitter has taken pains to distance himself from the governor, she says.
AUG 27 This post by blogger Katie East on DIG Baton Rouge is (unfortunately) an accurate reflection of many Americans' experience with our health care system. She has to be impatient, to be "bitchy," to fight to get her physicians to take her seriously. We have the most expensive health care in the world, and East has to use Wikipedia (and her mom) to get a CAT scan? Really?
AUG 27 State retirees who get their health coverage through the state can look forward to paying more for premiums, drugs and out of pocket costs, blogger Tom Aswell tells us in this post. The problem is that Bobby Jindal's plan to privatize the system has resulted in a monthly $16 million deficit, Aswell says, so Bobby's trying to price retirees out of the system.
AUG 27 This post on The Lens takes a look at the so-called "stand your ground" laws that are common across the United States, including in Louisiana. But even though they exist in most states, the enforcement of these laws hasn't been consistent, the story reports.
AUG 27 Blogger CB Forgotston is bumping up against shrill in this post, when he's talking about the taxpayer-funded house where State Police Commander Mike Edmonson lives on your dime. For instance, CB's complaining about the "servants," but the story he links to here reports that a convict cleans the house. CB also calls it a "mansion" but it sure looks more like a standard brick suburban house.
AUG 27 This story on WWL is about some college students who have created a nail polish that can detect date rape drugs. That's really cool, but the real story is in the comments from female college students who say that date rape is routine in college. Hello? Not OK. Can we do something about that, please?
AUG 27 Columnist Rolfe McCollister pays tribute to Robin Williams in this post on Baton Rouge Business Report. In particular, he's reminding us of some of the actor's best lines from Dead Poets Society, one of Williams' most beloved roles.
AUG 27 The woman's right to vote is celebrated this week, but in Louisiana, Women's Equality Day has a different relevance, this post on NOLA Defender tells us. Even though more than 60 percent of the women in this state are the sole bread winner for their household, we still can't do right by them.
AUG 26 Here's blogger Ian McGibboney's take on the great NFL-Slap Ya Mama controversy of 2014. Ian's explanation of the expression is a lot better (and more accurate) than the PR nonsense that has come out, and he also raises a pretty good question: can Boudreaux's Butt Paste be far behind? (Wups! No pun intended...)
AUG 26 Sen. Elbert Guillory's bill aimed at preventing "armed and incapacitated geezers" from working as Justices of the Peace was a huge joke, columnist James Gill writes in this post. Nobody knows who really called Guillory asking for it, nor who sent him the text for it, but they certainly got a lot of mileage out of one phone call, Gill says.
AUG 26 This post on the NOLA Defender blog takes a look at the recent decision by the NFL to cancel the advertising it previously accepted from the "Slap Ya Mama" seasoning. In light of recent events in which the NFL's ability to take domestic violence seriously was questioned, the league felt it wasn't a good idea, the post reports. The best part of this (kinda ridiculous) story, however, is the explanation the PR people give for the expression.

Most Anticipated Babies
The Most Anticipated Babies of All Time
We list 'em all, from Baby Cambridge to "Fetus King" Shapur II.
We list 'em all, from Baby Cambridge to "Fetus King" Shapur II.
It's times like these I wish I had assayed the grim arts of necromancy, that I might raise the carcass of Henry Luce to shamble the halls of his once-proud magazine, feasting on the flesh of twenty-something idiots.
You forgot King John the 1st of France whose father died before his birth. He got to be king at the very moment of his birth, only to die 5 days later...
Jesus Christ was the most anticipated baby of all time.
@rcola Really? What % of the world's population was anticipating Jesus, that would be one measurement. Another would be total number of people anticipating. I doubt that Jesus comes even close to Baby Royal or North East West South whatever this baby's name is. Now, if the question was about "importance" or "relevance" or "most likely to indirectly influence religious leaders to major wars and billions dead" then JC might be head of the list.
this. isn't. news. where have TIME's standards gone?

Dealing with rumors
Rumors are a fact of life. The grapevine is the original mass medium, and the speed-of-fiber communications of the Internet only accelerates the dissemination of what may or may not be true.
More than ever, a newspaper finds itself accused of intentionally suppressing news when it doesn't print what's rumored. Typically, though, the "news" simply isn't true or can't be confirmed.
Still, if everybody is talking about something, shouldn't the newspaper have it? Well, maybe.
A case in point is Pat Summitt's separation from her husband. It has been grist for the mill for many weeks. But we recognized that, short of a public record of divorce or some acknowledgement by the coach, reporting the rumor could be seen as an unwarranted intrusion into her privacy.
Dan Fleser, who covers the LadyVols, was sensitive to the sensibilities of Coach Summitt, but he also was aware that the separation was common knowledge, and avoiding public acknowledgement might merely fuel private speculation. Today, he brought the matter into the open in a column, http://www.knoxnews.com/kns/gvx_ladyvol_basketball/article/0,1406,KNS_19597_4970803,00.html which also is posted here as an extension.
The column drew some criticism, but also praise. I thought it was tastefully and appropriately handled. More importantly, my understanding is that coach Summitt agreed.
Fleser: Despite cause for pause, Summitt is on the go
By DAN FLESER, email@example.com
September 5, 2006
Pat Summitt has a pretty fair track record for snap decisions.
Her 32 women's basketball seasons at the University of Tennessee can be measured literally in thousands of timeouts. Sixty seconds worth of concentrated brainstorming.
Man or zone?
What play to call?
To foul or not to foul?
Time's up. Time to make a call.
Summitt's 913 career victories are testament to many personal attributes. Decisiveness ranks high on the list.
But that's basketball, not life. An important part of Summitt's life has presented a daunting challenge to one of her signature traits.
Summitt is separated from R.B. Summitt, her husband of 26 years. They've been apart since spring. Other than to acknowledge the split, she won't comment on the reasons or speculate on how or when the process will end.
Regardless, it appears to be basketball business as usual. Preseason workouts are in full swing. Summitt and her coaching staff also are receiving recruits on visits. Top junior prospect Elena Delle Donne, a 6-foot-3 wing player from Wilmington, Del., was here on an unofficial visit last week, along with her parents.
Summitt also hosted several coaches over the Labor Day weekend, including former players Tanya Haave, who is the new head coach at San Francisco, and Western Carolina coach Kellie Harper. Middle Tennessee State coach Rick Insell and Summitt's Villanova buddy, Harry Perretta, were here as well.
In the next month, Summitt will be on the road, making home visits to prospects and doing corporate speaking engagements.
While her pace isn't unusually excessive, she isn't meandering either.
If anything, Summitt's itinerary reflects another important trait - seemingly boundless energy, particularly for all things basketball-related.
At this point, the attribute might be more important than ever.
Recruiting Stuff: The weekend of Sept. 16 is shaping up as a real doozy.
The Lady Vols are believed to be bringing in five top recruits for official visits.
Two guards - 6-foot Angie Bjorklund from Spokane, Wash., and 5-9 Sydney Smallbone from South Bend, Ind. - - committed to UT.
The other visitors are expected to be Vicki Baugh - a 6-4 forward from Sacramento, Calif. - and two post players: 6-5 Kelley Cain from Atlanta and 6-4 Jantel Lavender from Euclid, Ohio.
Opposition Talk I: Two of UT's opponents this season have taken preseason personnel hits.
West Virginia guard Meg Bulger is out for the season after re-injuring her left knee. Along with being the nation's leader in 3-point field goals per game (3.5) in 18 games last season, Bulger also was averaging nearly 20 points per game.
Chattanooga, meanwhile, has lost sophomore Nancy Moore, who has left the team, coach Wes Moore told the Chattanooga Times Free Press. The 5-10 wing was the only big guard left on the Lady Mocs ' roster.
Opposition Talk II: The Lady Vols will be facing two-time junior college All-American Amber Holt a little sooner than expected and with a different opponent.
The 6-foot guard, who was bound for SEC rival Georgia, instead has ended up at Middle Tennessee State. The Blue Raiders visit on Nov. 26.
The change of schools apparently involved the academic major Holt plans to pursue.

NewMex why would u be disappointed to have this in print... It's been the talk of Knoxville and lot other places for months that it was happening, so why try and hide it, get it out in the open, it happens to thousands of people, Pat Summit just happens to be a basketball coach, so what, she's getting a divorce.. Move on...
Posted by: Pullingguard at September 6, 2006 9:43 AM
our prayers with coach Pat. Like we always said she is the consumate LADY-straight as an arrow. Only good things will follow her. Every act in life has a reason and she will come through just fine. With the vol nation behind her she will fight on. Thanks Dan for the rumors not to get out of hand.
Posted by: apollo60 at September 6, 2006 9:43 AM
Life is what happen's to you while you are making other plans! Forest Gump was right "stuff happens", good job,Dan, other than to know about a public figure no other details are neededever.

It is better to have this handled openly than to have the rumor mill as the only source. Dan is to be commended for the low key way he presented it. Thor

Dear God; Amen to what Ron said.

Now that we know We can say a Prayer for the Summit Family. God First; Family Second; and UT Third.

Time to say a prayer for that family, coaching is a tough lifestyle.Time to respect and support the whole family.
Posted by: bonzaivol at September 6, 2006 12:51 AM
How do you know Pat didn't ask Dan to write this? I am sure it is public knowledge and this article is certainly not in poor taste.
Posted by: alavol42 at September 6, 2006 12:26 AM
You should be absolutely ashamed about mentioning anyone's personal business. Pat Summit or ANYONE! It is not anyone's business to know. I am ashamed of this article and very disappointed the News Sentineal allowed this. Very low Dan:(
Posted by: NewMexVol at September 5, 2006 11:40 PM
I feel so very sorry for the Summitts. I hope God can heal this marriage. Is this not a private affair that has nothing to do with our great Lady Vols program? A little privacy please. If I were fortunate enough to meet Pat Summitt I would not ask her about her marriage.
The wife of a Loudon County Sheriff's Department deputy is being inestigated for embezzling funds from the Loudon quarterback club. A substanstial amount of money. An announcement was made to parents at a recent pracrice session. My question is "why hasn't she been arrested and why has nothing been said about it in our local newspaper. Anyone else would of already been arrested and ran through the paper. It just goes to show that in Loudon County it doesn't matter if you break the law, it's all on who you know. Look back at the past year in Loudon County and see how many Sheriff Department employees were indicted for something and how many since the the D.A. took over have actually been held accountable- how many?
That story would be the same without Coach's personal life being inserted into the story, so why put it in, who knows but it looks like nothing more than a personal attack by a very small man! So maybe we need a cage match on pay per view, where coach will slap that silly smile off of Dan Fleser face and shoves his keyboard where the sun never shines! You can call it show me a "little respect" asslick, now thats a win people would pay to see!
Does this mean they will change the name of the "Summitt" at Thompson Bowling Arena to the "Head"? Perhaps the university should intervene to have her keep her married name, so they won't have to scrape the paint on the floor.
I would like to have read the article linked in the blog, but once again, I was stopped by the GOVOLSxtra demon. Good work Jack. Thanks
By the way, Dave Hooker is not worth the extra money you receive from the pay sight.
i wish pat and her family all the luck in the world. r b hasbeen there for her and will be for ever but some time things do not work out.god bless the whole family and remember they have a son.
god's speed pat
I'm a Uconn fan, but I have nothing but respect for Pat. She's a fine lady, and I wish her and her husband nothing but the best, no matter what happens to their life together.
Keep your chin up, Pat, and you'll see your way through this - I promise you.
Pat is a lady of high class. She has been a role model to all women. I wish her a good 2007-2008 season. I pray for her to overcome this great blow to her personal life and hope that people will leave all of this to her.

Being an animal control officer can be one of the most rewarding and depressing jobs to have.
The stressful part of the job is having to put down animals. In TV5's Pet Protection Project, reporter Craig McMorris has reaction from those workers to a part of their job they'd rather not perform.
"My animal control officers who are obligated and forced to euthanize the animals certainly don't do it with any pleasure," said Bay County Animal Shelter Director Mike Halstead.
Saginaw County Animal Care Center Director Kevin Wilkin echoes that sentiment, saying "It's never an easy decision. It's particularly hard for me when we're euthanizing an animal for no other reason other than space when there's no medical or behavioral reason, that's when I struggle with it the most."
Imagine shooting up a living, breathing creature with a deadly poison. It's something most of the general public couldn't imagine doing. Yet it's something that animal care workers are forced to do each and every day. It's a story not many of them have opened up about.
"I think would compare the attitude of an animal control officer forced to put animals down to a M.A.S.H. unit in that they have to become hardened to the disposal of the animal, even though it's a method used here within the shelter to inoculate them or put them to sleep, it's that simple," said Halstead.
He's has been at the Bay County animal control facility for six years. He explained what solution is used to put down animals.
"It's an inoculation with sodium pentothal that stops the animal's heart," said Halstead. "They virtually all times fall asleep before their heart is stopped."
The mental anguish, stress and pain for people doing the euthanizing can be unbearable. Psychologists have a name for it.
"It's called compassion fatigue, there's actually compassion fatigue training that employees can go to. Other places I've worked at, they've sent all the employees to compassion fatigue training," said Wilkin.
Wilkin has been through such training. He said every person has a different way of dealing with putting down an animal, and he's done it countless times.
"Over the years I've developed my own technique for dealing with it. I'm a person who sort of likes to keep things to myself but I don't like to talk about it a whole lot," added Wilkin.
Even private, no-kill animal shelters like the Pet Angel cat rescue facility in Frankenmuth sometimes have to put an animal to sleep when an animal can't recover from an illness.
"We will spend a lot of money to try to rescue that animal, but when the vet says there's nothing more we can do and the animal is in pain, then we have had to put down a few," said Rescue Director Nancy Engel.
Other no-kill rescue workers have sympathy for "kill" shelter workers and their dilemma of having to put down an animal.
Denise Rayner, with Heavenly Paws in Oakland County, says "they work very hard at saving those lives so certainly, yes, they are doing their job but they're also trying to find homes for them."
The public can help save the lives of pets from euthanization at these animal shelters. Be a part of our Pet Protection Project."

MACON, Ga. (Mercer Release)- After 16 days of preseason camp and a pair of exhibition matches, the Mercer women's soccer team kicks off its 2013 season this weekend with a pair of contests. The Bears head to Huntsville to take on Alabama A&M on Aug. 24 at 4 p.m. before returning home to host in-state rival Georgia State at Bear Field on Aug. 25 at 4 p.m.
Mercer is 0-0-1 in season openers under second-year head coach Tony Economopoulos, playing to a 1-1 tie against Southern Mississippi last season in Macon. The Bears last opened a season on the road in 2008, falling to No. 18 Georgia 3-1.
Scouting the Opposition
Alabama A&M compiled a 5-13 record in 2012, but still managed to win the Southwestern Athletic Conference Eastern Division title under 13th-year head coach Frank Davies. The Lady Bulldogs were picked to finish fourth in the 2013 SWAC Preseason Coaches' poll and return five letterwinners, including Preseason All-SWAC selections Ana Huertas and Amber Irvin, from last year's squad.
Georgia State posted a 4-11-2 record in 2012, but did manage to defeat Mercer in the lone meeting between the two schools, 1-0, last September. The Panthers return eight starters back from last year's squad and were recently picked to finish tied for third in the Sun Belt Preseason Coaches' poll under second-year head coach Derek Leader.
Last Time Out
MACON, Ga. - The Mercer women's soccer team started its 2013 campaign on a high note after coming away with a 3-1 victory in its exhibition match against Eastern Kentucky on Aug. 13 at Bear Field.
Freshman Haleigh Svede, junior Lauren Gassie and senior Sadie Curry each tallied goals in the contest for the Bears.
All three goalkeepers on the Mercer roster (Maggie Cropp, Nikki Atkinson and Cristina Mursuli logged 30 minutes of playing time during the contest, with Atkinson leading the way with three saves in the win.
Game Notes
- The Mercer women's soccer team was picked to finish tied for third in the 2013 Atlantic Sun Conference Preseason Coaches' poll released by the conference office on August 8.
- Junior Lauren Gassie was the only Bear named to the 2013 Preseason All-Atlantic Sun team. The Winter Park, Fla. native led Mercer with a career-high 19 points in 2012 on the strength of six goals and seven assists.
- In a preseason list compiled by TopDrawerSoccer.com, junior Lauren Gassie, senior Devon Fry and sophomore Maggie Cropp were ranked among the Top-20 Players to Watch in the Atlantic Sun Conference this upcoming 2013 season. Gassie was ranked fourth while Fry and Cropp were ranked 12th and 20th, respectively.

COLLIER COUNTY: Students at Lorenzo Walker Technical High School in Naples have raised enough money to build a school in Haiti.
The class raised $8,500 over the past three years through bake sales, penny drives, and car washes.
The money will go towards building materials and labor costs for an elementary school.
"I think we're ignorant about what other people have to go through in other countries. When we were informed about how bad it is for them and how good it is for us here, we wanted to be a helping hand," said LWTHS student Maritza Payan.
"When we saw that Haiti had become available, we got excited knowing that a lot of our kids had a connection there," added teacher Donna Lang.
The school went through the organization "Free the Children" and say their next effort will support a charity in the Southwest Florida community.
