---- — NOAA has released a video and an essay on the Office of Law Enforcement website touting its value to the nation and the fishing industry by ensuring "a level playing field" — even as the agency continued to suppress a $500,000 addendum to a special judicial master's report on abuses of the badge carried out against commercial fishermen in Gloucester and across the Northeast.
The 66-case study by Special Master Charles B. Swartwood III was completed and delivered to the office of then Commerce Secretary John Bryson last March, but still has not been made public.
In late September, after Bryson was found unconscious behind the wheel of his car in suburban Los Angeles and resigned from the cabinet, a spokeswoman for Acting Secretary Rebecca Blank said she had asked her staff to "gather more information regarding issues identified" in the 554-page report by Swartwood.
But since then, numerous queries to Blank, Cameron Kerry — general counsel for the department and the brother of U.S. Sen. John Kerry — NOAA Administrator Jane Lubchenco and her chief counsel Lois Schiffer have been ignored.
Congressman John Tierney and Sen.Scott Brown last Friday reacted with fury to the continued suppression of the Swartwood report and the law enforcement video.
Sen. Kerry's office also reported pressuring the Commerce Department to release the report. A spokesman for Kerry said "we believe" the report will be made public "very soon."
Yet another series of queries from the Times last week to top officials at Commerce and its National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration was again ignored.
"The Congressman spoke to the White House (Thursday) for the sole purpose of pressing for the immediate release of Swartwood II and demanding that they – at a bare minimum – provide a hard deadline for when it will be released," said Tierney's spokeswoman Karthryn Prael. "This is outrageous."
"Instead of wasting taxpayer money on an internet video," Brown said in an email, "NOAA should release the latest Special Master report which taxpayers also financed. I continue to press for its release and for NOAA to come clean right away."
"Senator Kerry understands deeply just how important this report is, in large measure because it was at his urging that these investigations were initiated," said Kerry's spokesman Alec Gerlach. "At his behest, we've remained in close and frequent contact with NOAA and the Department of Commerce about its release, as recently as (Friday), and we believe it'll be released very soon."
The case studies of law enforcement abuse of fishermen and businesses was commissioned in May 2011 by Bryson's predecessor, Gary Locke, now ambassador to China after Reps. John Tierney and Barney Frank, among others, argued that many fishermen working waters policed by agents based in the Northeast region, headquartered in Gloucester, had not been heard.
Locke announced the extension of Swartwood's commission after sending NOAA Administrator Jane Lubchenco to Gloucester to issue an apology to 11 of the most seriously harmed victims of law enforcement abuse to whom was distributed more than $650,000 in reparations.
The abusive behavior of a cadre of agents and litigators in Gloucester and systemic exploitation of the NOAA law enforcement system was uncovered by the Commerce Department inspector general in 2010 after pressure from Congress and the Massachusetts legislature.
Tierney and Brown last summer also obtained documentation via a Freedom of Information Act request that agents in Seattle had acquired and used for personal pleasure a high end speed boat.
Lubchenco and her chief counsel Schiffer had intended to institute reforms without attempting to right past wrongs against the industry, but Locke vetoed that plan and contracted with JAMS, a judicial services firm, to use Swartwood, a retired federal magistrate and chairman of the Massachusetts Ethics Commission, to study in detail cases that came to the attention of the inspector general's office.
The new video promoting the NOAA system of law enforcement is imbedded on the NOAA website along with a message from Law Enforcement Director Bruce Buckson. He was hired from the Florida wildlife police system after the scandal uncovered by the inspector general's multiple reports convinced Lubchenco to move Dale Jones from the chief's position into one as a fisheries analyst.
Jones was reassigned after Inspector General Todd Zinser testified to Congress that Jones had organized an official document shredding during the active phase of the investigation, authorized the use of fines paid by fishermen to subsidize the acquisition of more vehicles than the department had officers and foreign travel to conventions in exotic locations.
The agents and litigators in Gloucester where the abuses were concentrated were also shifted to other positions. No one was punished or fired — and Jones has kept his annual salary of more than $150,000.
"Many NOAA enforcement officers and agents chose conservation law enforcement over traditional law enforcement because they are passionate about this kind of work," Buckson said in his essay on the NOAA website. "They know that fair and effective enforcement is vital to managing our nation's fisheries and integral to protecting marine resources and their habitats. The vast majority of fishermen follow the rules and count on us for help."
The video echoes that message with images of upstanding fish police officers politely but firmly boarding boats to ensure that "everything is in the log (book)" so that there is "a level playing field for all fishermen."

We hear about the healing power of plants that grow in the wild, we look ahead to the World Cup in Brazil and find out if El Niño might be a factor, Katriona McFadden meets a man who counts raindrops, and we speak to one young Nathan Carter fan about the very special gig he'll be playing at her house this evening...
If you click the box above, you'll be able to hear the official song of the 2014 FIFA World Cup, We Are One (Ole Ola), which was written and co-produced by Pitbull and features Jennifer Lopez and Brazilian star Claudia Leitte.
It's funny, but up to now you would hardly know that there is a World Cup just around the corner. Is it because Ireland isn't playing? That might all change now that the Premier League is over.
The kinds of stories we have been reading about the World Cup are really not to do with football at all - we have been hearing about construction delays, and about whether airports and stadiums will be built on time, and stories of over-spending and corruption, and stories of the safety of visiting tourists...
But there has been precious little of the usual hype in the build up to the World Cup - until yesterday, when we read that meteorologists at the University of Reading have been looking at weather patterns to see if they might impact on England's players.
To find out more, we are joined by Dr Peter Inness, meteorologist at the Department of Meteorology in the University of Reading, and by John Brennan, Sports News Editor with the Sunday World, about his experiences of stifling heat at World Cup football matches...
Every Friday on Mooney Goes Wild we talk about the wonders of nature and the natural world. And nature can be a big help when it comes to our health. Go to any health food shop and you will see natural remedies for all sorts of ailments from headaches to coughs. And many modern medicines are derived from plants. Did you know that aspirin, for example, comes from willow bark?!
TG4 has been running a fascinating series over the last number of weeks, entitled Garraí Glas or 'green gardens/ fields' as Bearla. There are three episodes left. It's on every Tuesday at 8.00pm (so it's on tonight), and it's repeated every Sunday 9.00pm.
And if you've been watching you'll have learned that bogbean helps with the winter blues, coffee can be made with dandelion roots, nettle roots will cleanse the blood and carrageen can be used as a face-mask.
It's fascinating viewing, and the presenter of Garraí Glas, is Síle Nic Chonaonaigh, joins us from our Galway studio this afternoon to tell us more about it... To find out more about the series, and about some of the information contained in the programmes so far, visit www.tg4.ie/en/programmes/garrai-glas/home. And if you have any natural remedies or herblore that you'd like to share with us please text them into 51551 whilst the show is on air, tweet @MooneyShow, or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com!
Thankfully there haven't been many raindrops falling on our heads in recent days but that doesn't stop us talking about the weather! Hasn't it been nice? Will the warm weather stay? Will the summer be good? And we look to Met Eireann and its forecasters for guidance.
But did you know that they rely, in part, on a team of volunteers throughout the country?!
A team of 'Weather Observers' record weather measurements and send them to Met Éireann in Glasnevin to help them with their job. Mooney reporter Katriona McFadden went to meet one of them, Martin Sweeney, at his home in Straide in Co. Mayo...
Cast your mind back to January 30th when the Garth Brooks tickets went on sale, and all the Garth fever and mania that ensued. Brenda was up in Dungannon at 7am, outside Stewarts music shop with fans, and we broadcast the show from Derry.
With the day that was in it, we were discussing the popularity of country music and who should call the show but Ireland's hottest county music star Nathan Carter and he offered to do a House Party for a Mooney listener.
Needless to say we were inundated with people wanting Nathan and his band to put on a show in their front room! Well we have a winner, and tonight's the night of the Mooney House Party with Nathan Carter!
Ballymahon, Co Longford is the place to be and thanks to her e-mail to us, 11-year-old Brona Cox is going to have her wish come true when she gets to meet Nathan! Brenda chats to Brona ahead of the House Party tonight!

The Genealogy Roadshow is back for a brand new series! RTÉ's The Genealogy Roadshow is now an international hit series. PBS in America has already broadcast a US version of the show shot in Detroit, San Francisco, Nashville and Austin, Texas. Season 2 of the US show is on the way. The original Irish programme is returning to screens on May 11th with a brand new series full of amazing stories. Once again the people of Ireland are the stars of the show. The series is be presented again by Derek Mooney. It began last night on RTÉ One (click here to watch it back on the RTÉ Player), and the second episode of the three-part series will air next Sunday at 7pm on RTÉ One.
The Roadshow's crack historical and genealogical team help people trace their family's roots and discover surprising stories from the past. People from all four provinces got to know the truth about tragic events, infamous ancestors and famous cousins.
Thousands of people contacted the show with questions. Some wanted to know if they were related to someone famous. Others wanted to solve mysteries going back generations. Others had heart-breaking adoption stories and tales of families ravaged by war.
The Genealogy team set out to help these people fill in the blanks. The mission was to answer the questions, solve the riddles and uncover the truth. Some people get the news they want but not every tale has a happy ending. In this series, there are tears of pride and joy, as well as fantastic surprises.
The Genealogy Roadshow also sheds light on the people history has forgotten. The team look at local and national events and ask who didn't get the credit they deserve? They also take a look at people and events you think you know, but tell the stories you haven't heard before.
This year the show has added technology to the bag of tricks. Historians and witnesses from around the world are able to beam in directly to the roadshow to give expert testimony and corroborate evidence.
Some of the stories involve Irish people in far flung places:
Irish immigrants starting a new life in Argentina were part of an international crisis as thousands were scammed out of their life savings and left stranded in a strange land;
An innocent Irish girl was gunned down in a Canadian frontier town, caught up in a local blood feud;
A Wexford man was spared a terrible fate at Custer's Last Stand, only to be forgotten by history, until now;
A Longford woman went to America and became a notorious criminal in the era of Al Capone.
Some of the stories are closer to home:
After years of listening to his father's stories, a Dundalk man finds out once and for all if he is related to St. Oliver Plunkett;
A Cork man discovers that his relatives were saved from the gallows by none other than Daniel O'Connell in a famous trial;
The tale of an Orangeman's wife who kept her Catholic identity a secret, even from her family, for her whole life;
And there's even some myth-busting in this series as the team delve into the mystery of 'The Lost Village of Audleystown' to see if there's any evidence to back up the story of a village full of families who were forcibly migrated to the USA by a wicked land owner who levelled their homes.
This original Irish programme is back on your screens from this Sunday, May 11th at 7pm, on RTÉ One.
Hedgerows and the Law
Hedgerows in Ireland form important features in maintaining wildlife diversity and in establishing wildlife "corridors", particularly for birds. The commonest nesting birds found in hedgerows such as wrens, dunnocks, robin and willow warblers depend entirely on insects during the Summer months. In general untrimmed, thorned hedgerows containing species such as blackthorn, whitethorn and holly are favoured by birds as they provide ample food and also serve as a protection against predators.
Section 40 of the Wildlife Act, 1976, as amended by Section 46 of the 2000 Act, provides protection for hedgerows by providing that it shall be an offence for a person to cut, grub, burn or otherwise destroy hedgerows on uncultivated land during the nesting season from 1 March to 31 August, subject to certain exceptions. It is important that, where possible, necessary work to hedgerows is carried out outside this period.
It is possible in most cases to schedule and carry out necessary work to hedgerows outside this period. The legislation makes provision for works (other than road or other construction works) to be carried out for reasons of public health and safety under the authority of any Minister or a body established by statute that lead to the destruction of vegetation. There is also a provision to enable the Minister for Environment, Heritage and Local Government to request from the relevant Minister or body details of any such works together with a statement of the public health and safety factors involved.
It shall not be an offence to destroy vegetation in the ordinary course of agriculture or forestry. Also it shall not be illegal to destroy vegetation while preparing or clearing a site for lawful building or construction works.
It is the policy of the Minister to prosecute for offences under section 40 of the Wildlife Acts 1976 and 2000 and successful prosecutions have been taken under this section in recent years. Members of the public are encouraged to contact their local wildlife ranger and report instances where hedgerows are being destroyed during the prohibited period.

Gov. Pat McCrory came into office talking about broken government, and yet the people who work for him seem to be the ones busting up the china shop. The plan to restructure the Commerce Department is just the latest example.
The much-ballyhooed economic development plan that creates a public-private partnership a GOP mantra is utterly stymied by confusion, inaction and lack of understanding.
When Commerce officials speak of their Economic Development Partnership, this public-private nonprofit agency that will recruit jobs and business, they dont seem to have a clue as to how it will be funded or work.
The idea behind the breathless push for this agency was that the economic development arm of the Commerce Department wasnt doing a good job and could be improved. After all, the states jobless rate has remained too high, and new jobs have been hard to find.
Of course, economic development nationwide wasnt exactly thriving in the years of the Great Recession, but Republicans now in charge of state government would like to blame the sluggish economy on the long rule of Democrats.
So this new agency, with private dollars coming in, is to set about finding lots of jobs and bringing them to North Carolina. A businessman, Richard Lindenmuth, was hired the first week of January to be the agencys interim director.
Thats where things stand, and thats where they have stood.
Now Commerce officials are asking for a stream of public money, in addition to an annual budget appropriation, to help pay for the new agency. N.C. Commerce Secretary Sharon Decker says she thinks the partnership should have its first budget set before asking for private donations.
I think its not appropriate to raise private funds until we know what were asking for, she said at a legislative committee meeting.
What happened to the private part of this revolutionary partnership? And officials dont yet know what theyll need from the private part of this partnership? Things already seem lopsided and leaning toward a handout to businesses.
State Rep. Susi Hamilton of Wilmington, a Democrat, zeroed in on private fundraising when she questioned Decker and Lindenmuth at the committee meeting. She said, My queston is: Wheres the private money and why arent we talking more about fundraising (from the private sector) while were also talking about bringing public money to the table?
Hamilton also made a good point when she said that without a lot of private money, the partnership would just be a way for public money to be spent without much oversight. That has been the case in other states where public and private money has been stirred together without much public disclosure.
And troubling also is the fact that Commerce and partnership officials dont seem sure of where the private money will come from or how much there will be. Legislative staffers have warned officials that these sorts of partnerships in one form or another havent raised much private money elsewhere.
Its not a public-private partnership if only the public is contributing money and resources, Hamilton said.
North Carolina may be experiencing a slow recovery from the recession, but its vibrant tourism industry and its high rankings in virtually all business publications as a great place to do business testify that its economic development potential remains strong.
Decker needs to review this stumbling and still legislatively unapproved idea. Despite rhetoric from the governor about broken government, Commerce may not need to be reassembled. It may be time to abandon a bad idea before its practical application, if that ever happens, makes a mess of things.

PITTSBURGH -- The Brewers briefly considered delaying Zack Greinke's next start so it would fall in next week's National League Central showdown with the Cardinals, but they are now leaning against it.Greinke and left-hander Chris Narveson each started a game in Monday's doubleheader, leaving one lined up to pitch next on Sunday against the Cubs on one extra day of rest, and the other later in the week. The Brewers are off on Monday before facing the second-place Cardinals from Aug. 30-Sept. 1. Manager Ron Roenicke hinted that he has a plan of where to slot Narveson. The left-hander could use the extra time, anyway, since he exited his Monday start after catching the nail on his left middle finger while throwing a fastball. The issue is not expected to affect his next start. Roenicke and pitching coach Rick Kranitz sought input from Greinke, who preferred to remain closer to regular rest. "It's not 100 percent, but [Greinke] doesn't really want to go eight days before pitching," Roenicke said. The Cardinals series is important because they are the only team within 10 games of the Brewers in the NL Central. But Roenicke has been espousing an "every game is important" philosophy as the Brewers seek their first division title since 1982, and he believes teams sometimes spend too much time worrying about matching certain starters to certain series. "I think every time we try to do something -- and not just this year -- every time we put too much into mathcups, they don't work well," Roenicke said. "If you do that, you screw up everybody else."
Brewers featured on cover of Sports Illustrated
PITTSBURGH -- For the first time in more than 24 years, the Brewers are Sports Illustrated cover boys.Ryan Braun, Prince Fielder and Nyjer Morgan are featured on the cover of the Aug. 29 issue of the magazine with a photo of the trio celebrating Mark Kotsay's game-winning hit on Aug. 16 and the headline, "Living the High Life: How T-Plush and two Wallbanging MVP candidates are mixing a strange brew in Milwaukee." Braun also made the cover of SI's 2008 baseball preview, but he was featured along with five other '05 Draft picks. This week's issue marks the first time the Brewers have owned the cover alone since April 27, 1987, when a shot of Rob Deer advertised a story about Milwaukee's "Team Streak." Robin Yount (twice), Rollie Fingers and manager George Bamberger have also been on the cover of SI. For Morgan, it marked another big moment in a surprising season. "I'm so fired up," he said. "I never thought a guy from the east side of San Jose would be with two of baseball's favorite players on the cover of Sports Illustrated. It's pretty cool being with those two guys on there." Morgan's unlikely story forms the backbone of the story -- his decision to drop out of high school at 16 and move to Canada to fulfill a sudden urge to play hockey, and how he decided to convert to baseball while sitting in the bleachers at Candlestick Park. His alter ego, Tony Plush, makes a cameo, of course. "He uses Plush as a way to release pressure," Morgan's mother, Trina Perry, told the magazine. "When things get too tense, he can go there and keep it fun and light. It helps him relax." General manager Doug Melvin told SI, "He has brought silliness back to baseball." Talk of the SI jinx did not gain much traction in the visitor's clubhouse at PNC Park. Manager Ron Roenicke admitted he's aware of the supposed jinx, but when asked about it, he just shrugged and did not say a word. Fielder said he didn't even know about it. He figures the Brewers are ready for the increased national attention sure to find them in September. "I think we're equipped for it," said Fielder, who added, "I'd rather just play."
Gomez takes another big step forward
PITTSBURGH -- Center fielder Carlos Gomez was excited to take another big step toward the active roster Tuesday, when he took full batting practice and slid into bases for the first time since fracturing his left collarbone on a diving catch July 20 in Arizona.Gomez insisted he is aiming to be back in a Brewers uniform when rosters expand on Sept. 1. That's a surprisingly aggressive timeline, considering he still must undergo an examination by team doctors when the team returns to Miller Park this weekend and would then report to the Minor Leagues for a rehabilitation assignment. "I can't wait to be back on Sept. 1," Gomez said. "That's what I expect right now." He has been feeling good in outfield drills. On Monday, Gomez was working out at PNC Park with outfield coach Ed Sedar and robbed a home run, crashing into the wall after making a leaping catch. He was no worse for the wear. "I'm excited to be doing everything with the team again," Gomez said.
Last call
Assuming no more setbacks for Chris Narveson, manager Ron Roenicke would like to go back to a 12-man pitching staff in the coming days. The staff grew to 13 when infielder Felipe Lopez was designated for assignment on Sunday, clearing the way for Narveson's reinstatement from the disabled list. Officials have mulled both a power bat for the bench or another right-handed hitter.
Brewers officials plan to meet Friday to discuss September callups, and catcher Martin Maldonado is very likely to be one of the players promoted. The Brewers currently have two catchers on the roster, and Roenicke is not shy about using both in games. In an emergency, Casey McGehee would catch. If McGehee is unavailable, Roenicke said Craig Counsell would be the next option.

The murder of 88 year old war veteran Delbert Belton is a crime that got national attention back in August.
He was brutally punched and beaten while waiting in the car for one of his friends. When his friend later found him, Belton was bleeding but still alive.
But by the time paramedics arrived, it was too late. Belton died at the hospital that night.
Two teenagers were accused of the crime. Both were 16 years old and caught on surveillance video at a nearby store near the time of the murder.
One, Demetrius Glenn, turned himself in. The other, Kenan Adams-Kinard, was arrested four days later after police received an anonymous tip.
Then came a bombshell. In previous statements made by Adams-Kinard, he said that Belton was a drug dealer and the two boys were going to by crack from Belton...
However police have said there is no evidence to support that..
The two juveniles arrested appeared in court today. Their trial was pushed back until next year. Glenn's attorney, Chris Phelps, didn't want to delay the trial today. However Adams-Kinard's attorney Derek Reid did.
Reid says that the DNA evidence collected at the scene the night of the murder hasn't come back yet, and likely won't until November.
He also says there is more circumstantial evidence against Adams-Kinard, than there is Glenn.
There is still a lot that needs to happen before now and March. A pre-trial hearing is set for Feburary and the DNA evidence still needs to come back from the lab for both the prosecution and defense to analyze it.
But if everything goes off without a hitch, both will be tried together in March for the murder of 88-year old Delbert Belton.

text: About Philadelphia Philadelphia, affectionately called Philly or The City of Brotherly Love, is an exciting place to live, study and practice law. As the fifth most-populous city in the United States, Philadelphia boasts an abundance of eclectic restaurants, theaters, nightclubs, museums and other cultural and recreational resources tucked into diverse neighborhoods. Neighborhoods from South Street to Old City offer large and small nightclubs, while Center City's Avenue of the Arts features treasures like the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts – home to the Philadelphia Orchestra – the Opera Company of Philadelphia and the Pennsylvania Ballet. The city's theater scene features a wide range of offerings that include the annual Lively Arts Festival and Philly Fringe. Food options range from internationally known high-end restaurants like Le Bec-Fin to mom and pop eateries that dispense ubiquitous cheese steaks. One of just 13 U.S. cities that have professional teams in football, baseball, basketball and hockey, Philadelphia is a paradise for sports fans. The addition of professional soccer teams – the Philadelphia Union for men and Philadelphia Independence for women – has heightened the city's athletic luster. Fairmount Park is the nation's largest municipal park, covering 9,200 acres bursting with opportunities for hiking, biking, rowing, horseback riding, golfing or bird watching. Landmarks like Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell are much more than tourist destinations: they are the literal cradle of American democracy, making Philadelphia an extraordinarily rich place to learn and practice law. Philadelphia's legal community is well known to be particularly vibrant and unusually resonant with tradition. The city is home to the Philadelphia Bar Association and the Jenkins Law Library, both founded in 1802. The PBA is the nation's first chartered metropolitan bar organization and the Jenkins Law Library is the nation's oldest repository of legal resources. We are located in University City, a world class neighborhood of scholars dominated by Drexel University and the University of Pennsylvania. Here, students can choose from the offerings of offbeat shops and cafes or the comforts of familiar restaurants and stores.


text: Margarine usually beats butter when it comes to heart health. Margarine is made from vegetable oils, so it contains no cholesterol, and it generally has more polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fat than butter. But not all margarines are created equal, and some may even be worse than butter. In general, the more solid the margarine, the more trans fat it contains. Try to find margarine with the least amount of trans fat and less than 3 grams total of saturated fats plus trans fats.

This review isn't needed for Emperor fans. We all knew it was going to be great, and it was. If you don't know much about Emperor just know that they grabbed the black metal genre by the balls and made it their own! This will more than likely be the final release they ever put out (since they have "officially" disbanded, but we'll see if that actually lasts).
My only real complaint is with the "book" that was included. It was really just a collection of photos with a random Emperor lyric laid over some of the pages. I was expecting some info, a little story, something. But it doesn't matter, the DVD and the two CDs are worth the price. Plus the concert footage is in widescreen! I could never stand full screen in the first place, but especially now with the advancements in technology.

Senran Kagura has giant fluffy pancakes
Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus has a new trailer and it's absolutely brilliant. Aside from the typical risqué imagery that the series is known for, the video features a girl who fries up a stack of flapjacks and uses them to physically crush another young lady with the tower of syrupy goodness. It's just so awesomely bizarre.
The PlayStation Vita title is coming to Japan later this month and I sincerely hope at least one of the games in the titillating action series receives a Western release someday. I want to experience this kind of weirdness firsthand. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a strange desire to cook up a hot breakfast.

One more thing, about an epidemic of lying. That's what it seems like.
First came word that Lance Armstrong would confess at the alter of Oprah. Right after that, we heard about America's most popular imaginary girlfriend.
Lance Armstrong should be sending Manti Te'o thank you gifts every day for knocking him out of the headlines. For the rest of this week, we'll be watching the Notre Dame star defending himself in court Couric.
This recent outbreak of dishonesty may be one reason people are making such a big deal about Beyonce. There's more discussion over her performance of the National Anthem than President Obama's inaugural address. Maybe it's because we're just craving honesty this month.
Beyonce still hasn't commented herself, but many of her fellow performers have come to her defense. On Wednesday, Aretha Franklin, who sang "My Country Tis of Thee" live at the 2009 inaugural said Beyonce did a beautiful job with the pre-record. This silly story isn't going away anytime soon with Beyonce headlining this year's Super Bowl half-time show.
Maybe they should get Milli-Vanilli to introduce her.

Arrillaga scales down plan for University Avenue

This doesn't pass muster. It is a huge project in the wrong place, It is the beginning of the 'Manhattanization" of Palo Alto. What's to stop the next developer from wanting his/her share of the pie someplace else? Traffic is bad enough on El Camino and University. If Arrillaga and Stanford want this so badly, build it under the University's trees- OVER THERE.
The University has 8,000 acres. Put it to a vote of the residents. If it doesn't go to a vote, then recall the council. It's OUR town. Arrilaga doesn't live here
on Nov 22, 2012 at 11:20 am
Will someone please tell Mr. Arrillaga that we dont want this nightmare Massive project in Palo Alto. Let him build it up in some vacant Quarry in the mountains.... something like this:
Web Link
on Nov 22, 2012 at 12:26 pm
You all do realize that Arrillaga has carte blanche to erect a mega-monument to himself just over the creek on El Camino? So whatever negative impact you're envisioning from this project, double it.

SALEM — Local officials, politicians, veterans and National Guardsmen gathered at City Hall this morning to celebrate the city's federal designation as the birthplace of the nation's National Guard.
Although widely accepted locally, President Barack Obama signed a bill into law last week designating Salem as the birthplace of the Guard.
According to history, the nation's first militia, which was the foundation for what would become the National Guard, first gathered on Salem Common in 1637.
"It's not just that the National Guard originated here in Salem, it's the work they continue to do," said Congressman John Tierney, standing against a backdrop of flags in the City Council chambers.
"What a lineage we have, what an honor to be here," said Maj. Gen. L. Scott "Catfish" Rice, adjutant general of the Massachusetts National Guard. "What a great meeting of all the history in the place."
The National Guard holds an annual muster on the Salem Common to celebrate its connection to the city. Last April, hundreds of troops gathered on the common for a celebration of the Guard's 375th anniversary.
This year's muster is planned for April 6. Not much will change about the muster, a longtime tradition, with this month's federal designation, Rice said.
However, participants will "stand a little straighter, a little taller" this year, he said, smiling.

3 Best Dry Shampoos -- and the 2 Worst
See which dry shampoo will allow you to stop washing your hair -- and which one won't rescue you from the grease
See the list of the best and worst dry shampoos now.
Typically, dry shampoos come in spray or powder form, and not only do they soak up oil, they also clean hair, water-free, and leave you smelling fresh. Plus, for those of you who have the time to wash your hair every day (or just happen to be a little less tolerant of dirt), dry shampoos also give your hair a volume boost. At least, that's what the best dry shampoos do. Not all dry shampoos are created equal -- and our readers can attest to that. In fact, they've been quite vocal about the dry shampoos that forever simplify their lives, which ones are just alright, and which ones fall flat.
This roundup includes the very best dry shampoos -- and we didn't gloss over the worst, either. Keep clicking to see which brands carry the best dry shampoo for oily hair and which ones just aren't worth the trouble.
SEE NEXT PAGE: The Worst Dry Shampoo: No. 2: Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Shampoo Spray, $11
The Worst Dry Shampoo: No. 2: Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Shampoo Spray, $11TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 5.8*
Why: If we chose an emoticon to represent our reviewers' general opinion about this Oscar Blandi dry shampoo, it would look like this: :/
Reviewers agree that the overpowering smell, sky-high price and dandruff-like residue the product leaves on hair make this stuff "a total waste." One reviewer points out, "[It] kind of defeats the purpose when I have to wash my hair to get the white powder out."
Another disappointed user reports, "It didn't make my hair feel clean. It felt dirty, plus a bit dry and, well, crunchy." Considering the product's lukewarm score on top of all the complaints, it's probably wise to skip this one.
Agree? Disagree? Write your review here.

The Worst Dry Shampoo: No. 1: Tresemmé Fresh Start Volumizing Dry Shampoo, $5.49TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 3.4*
Why: If my memory of high school math doesn't fail me, 3.5 is a flunking score -- and in the case of Tresemmé Fresh Start Volumizing Dry Shampoo, it seems well-deserved. More than 120 reviewers weigh in on the product, 50 of whom give it 1 star out of 10. Readers complain that the spray "leaves a sticky residue on hair" and "doesn't do much to absorb oil." Many readers say that it makes hair even greasier. According to one reader, the spray "Weighs down, sticks, and saps the volume right out of hair." It may be affordable, but what good is a $5 product if all it does is make things worse?
Agree? Disagree? Write your review here.
*At time of publication
The Best Dry Shampoo: No. 3: Dove Refresh+Care Invigorating Dry Shampoo, $4.89TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 7.8*
Why it's great: Thankfully, not all dry shampoos are a catastrophe. One reviewer sums up the pros of this Dove dry shampoo, which, at less than $5, is a thrifty girl's dream: It "eliminates oil, reduces grease ... [is] lightweight, adds body, washes out quickly, [is] easy to brush through hair [and] widely available at most drugstores." Sounds good to us!
Although one reviewer reports that the bottle doesn't seem to last very long, many other reviewers claim that the other dry shampoos they've tried pale in comparison to Dove's. "The others I tried either didn't seem to work or were seriously sticky and could not be brushed out," one user explains. "This does none of that. Everyone should give this a try!"
Agree? Disagree? Write your review here.
*At time of publication
The Best Dry Shampoo: No. 2: Klorane Gentle Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk, $19.50TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 8.4*
Why it's great: Many reviewers find that this is the only dry shampoo they've tried that they "love, love, love." Reviewers appreciate that the texture is light and "doesn't give you the dreaded 'powdered wig' look." The product also "has a mild, pleasant fragrance" that won't overwhelm you throughout the day. One Klorane enthusiast gushes, "Not only does the product get rid of any greasiness, I feel like it really does make my hair look as if I just showered and blow-dried. It seems to add a little volume, too, which is always a plus!" Though this dry shampoo is slightly pricier than other, more common brands, it seems to do "exactly what it says." Can you ask for more?
Agree? Disagree? Write your review here.
*At time of publication
The Best Dry Shampoo: No. 1: Lush No Drought Dry Shampoo, $13.95TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 8.9*
Why it's great: By the far the highest-rated dry shampoo, this Lush dry shampoo product "make[s] your hair look and feel super clean," and, according to one reader, "is the best-smelling dry shampoo I've ever used."
"It seems to soak up the shine but not leave the hair matte and gross like other canned/bottled dry shampoos," explains another delighted user. "I've tried many spray dry shampoos and none have worked nearly as well as this." One reader criticizes the packaging, citing that when you spray the product, it tends to go rogue. "All of this aside, it's a really great dry shampoo," especially for oily hair, she says. Others agree, putting Lush No Drought Dry Shampoo in the No. 1 spot on our list.

Agree: Ojon is great...used to the love the Oscar Blandi until they came out with the invisible spray, now that's my fave. I also agree with bumble and bumble being pricy but TERRIBLE...it's like a thick, sticky hairspray that you can't even brush out. The only part I dont agree on: Tresemme...this has left an awful terrible white residue that has never absorbed any oil. Dont know how that got number one.

Why isn't Suave Dry Shampoo on the list? It works fine for me. Although I think I'll try a new one out of curiosity now. I've been using the Suave one for 2 years & like it fine.

Cake Beauty Satin Sugar is my holy grail for dry shampoos. It smells INCREDIBLE, like baked sugar, makes my hair fluffy and full of body (I have straight fine hair) and it's tinted so you don't look like Cruella De Ville.

I haven't tried any of these products yet. I think the Suave one is my favorite so far. The Dove one is ok too.

SPOKANE, Wash. – In this strapped economy, budgets for local law enforcement agencies are getting chopped, meaning unsafe staffing levels, and fewer resources to respond to car thefts and break-ins.
The Spokane County Sheriff's Office has lost 36 deputies in the last three years, and if the budget picture doesn't change, it may lose another 6 by the end of this year.
The Spokane Police Department is not faring much better. KHQ learned today it's short 70 officers compared to recommended 'safe' staffing levels for a city this size.
A situation that won't change until the mayor allocates for funding, and the city council approves it.
The lack of manpower is putting things like property crimes and car break-ins on the back burner for investigators, because they're overloaded with work and simply don't have the resources they need.
In just a week's time earlier this month, almost 100 calls to Spokane Police came in of car break-ins or thefts. Most times, victims are asked to call Crime Check at 456-2233, but an officer will rarely respond, and people are frustrated.
"I've known a few people to get their laptops and bikes stolen, some right out of their cars, some just right out in front of a coffee shop or bar," said Jeremy Clark, who lives in Browne's Addition. "We actually had a friend up on the North side, she had her car broken into 3 times in one week."
Saturday night, the surveillance cameras outside the KHQ studios in downtown Spokane even caught two suspects on camera, as they keyed a parked car on Sprague then slashed its tires.
It's just another example of the prevalence of such crimes.
Still, Spokane Police tell KHQ if you're a victim of a car crime, still call Crime Check to file a report. Even if an officer can't respond, they say it's still important to identify crime trends in certain neighborhoods. If they see a spike in a concentrated area, police have a better chance of catching the crooks behind it.

Read Billy Wilder Theater Frequently Asked Questions.
The Billy Wilder Theater, home of UCLA Film & Television Archive's public programs, is among a select handful of venues nationwide able to exhibit an entire century's worth of moving images in their original formats. From the earliest silent films requiring variable speed projection to glorious classics printed on fragile nitrate stock all the way up to cutting-edge digital cinema—the Wilder can accommodate an astonishing array of screen technologies. The Theater's modern design by Michael Maltzan Architecture stylishly interprets cinema's play of light and movement in real space, and the 294-seat interior features comfortable leather seats with superb sightlines.

Born on the outskirts of the Austro-Hungarian empire, Billy Wilder fled Nazi Germany in the 1930s to become a master of Hollywood film language and a shrewd comic observer of the American scene. Among the many classics Wilder co-wrote and directed were Double Indemnity (1944), The Lost Weekend (1945), Sunset Boulevard (1950), Ace in the Hole (1951), Sabrina (1954), The Seven Year Itch (1955), Some Like It Hot (1959) and The Apartment (1960).

Malaysian developer to build casino in BahamasSunday, July 01, 2012
NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) — Malaysian developer Genting Group plans to open a luxury boutique casino on the tiny island of Bimini as part of a US$24-million deal, government officials said Friday.
The 10,000-square-foot (929- square-metre) casino is slated to open in December at the Bimini Bay Resort & Marina in North Bimini island, according to Tourism Minister Obediah Wilchcombe. Genting plans to refurbish a structure built more than five years ago when the casino project was first conceived. It is partnering with RAV Bahamas, which developed Bimini Bay and the Rockewell Island Beach Estates, Wilchcombe said.
"It is going to be big," he said. "It was always in the plans, but here we brought together the right brand and the right partner."
Genting has casinos in Singapore, London and New York, but Wilchcombe said the new casino will differ from conventional ones by featuring windows to showcase the island's environs.
The Resorts World Bimini Bay casino is expected to create 300 jobs and will include table games, slots and sports betting.
"This is an important venture not only for RAV Bahamas and Genting Malaysia, but also for the island of Bimini," Prime Minister Perry Christie said in a statement.
Wilchcombe said a boutique hotel also will be built within a year to accompany the casino.
Bimini is the closest Bahamian island to the US, located just 53 miles (85 kilometres) off the coast of Miami. It is among the smallest islands of the Bahamas and home to a luxurious yacht, fishing and second-home market. Ernest Hemingway was known to spend considerable time on Bimini during the 1930s, and the island is thought to have inspired his Nobel Prizewinning short story The Old Man and the Sea.
Genting previously partnered with the Bahamian government to build the Lucayan Beach Resort and Casino, which opened in 1986 on Grand Bahama Island. Genting, which is one of the world's largest and most successful gambling companies, also has numerous investments in the US.
It plans to build a US$4- billion convention centre and casino at New York's Aqueduct race track. Last year, Genting bought a 14-acre (6-hectare) property for US$236 million that once housed The Miami Herald newspaper, but it is unclear if it will still build a casino on the property as originally planned.

Cabbage Apple Slaw Recipe
Chopped apple adds fruity sweetness, color and crunch to the tangy cabbage in this flavorful slaw. It's a refreshing side dish anytime of the year. Mom stored apples and cabbage in the root cellar, so she fixed this dish frequently to feed our big family.Lucile H. Proctor, Panguitch, Utah

- 3 medium red apples, chopped
- 2/3 cup fat-free evaporated milk
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- Sugar substitute equivalent to 2 tablespoons sugar

- Dash pepper
- In a large bowl, toss the cabbage and apples. In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Pour over cabbage mixture and toss to coat. Refrigerate until serving. Yield: 10 servings.

Icon Technologies, a division of Hydromat, offers the Tripod 700S Powerflex, a modular, six-axis parallel kinematics machine (PKM) for advanced applications. PKM technology means that the motions in X, Y and Z are performed by three parallel axes that are said to provide stiffness and accuracy while offering machining flexibility. It combines the versatility and machining envelope of a robot with the accuracy and stiffness of traditional machine tools. The company says its Tripod Powerflex does not notice any differences between a perpendicular hole or surface compared to a compound angle, and is therefore well-suited for a variety of complex machining operations.
The machine's design is said to answer the increasing needs for automation, dexterity and precision, while reducing absolute positioning and orientation errors. This results in high structural stiffness and the capability of performing extremely high-speed motions because of the low inertia of its moving components.
The work envelope of the model 700S is 800 x 800 x 400 mm with smaller and larger cutter areas available with the 300S, 500S and 900S models. Each machine can be configured as required for an application with the correct combination of machine size, spindle and tool changer. The Tripod Powerflex models feature 40 or 80 pocket tool changers.
More technology – a lot more!
IMTS 2014 will be the year's largest showcase of new product technologies and new process innovations. If you're looking for machining, tooling, systems, software, solutions and more, you'll find it at IMTS 2014.

Vintage and classic car show 'will be biggest and best yet'
5:00am Saturday 18th January 2014 in News By Matt Oliver, Reporter covering North Oxford, Jericho and Summertown. Call me on 01865 425498
Buy this photo Charlie Webster is bringing his 1978 Triumph Stag to the Churchill Vintage and Classic Car Show
VINTAGE car owners are entering vehicles into an Oxfordshire classic car show which organisers hope will be the biggest yet.
The Churchill Vintage and Classic Car Show will be held in Churchill near Chipping Norton on June 8 and roughly 10 exhibitors a day are contacting organiser David Chambers asking to take part.
The 69-year-old said: "At the moment we have more than 200 entries, when normally we have about 20 or 30 at this stage. Our full capacity is 500 and we expect to meet that very quickly."
In the past the show, which is held every two years, has raised more than £120,000 for local charities and groups.
In 2012 it raised £16,000, Mr Chambers told the Oxford Mail. It is held on Churchill village green in front of All Saints Church.
The event, to be held for the 13th time this year, started when villagers raised money for a new church roof.
"It started in 1986," he said. "Back then we had just 38 vehicles on display and we never thought it would become so successful."
Mr Chambers does little advertising for the show and it attracts entries mainly through word of mouth.
Charlie Webster, 64, of Minster Lovell, is bringing his Triumph Stag to the show.
He has been attending the show since it started.
"I first entered a vehicle four years ago which was placed into my care by a friend who had passed away," he said. "It was a 1928 Bentley."
He said the event's success was down to its variety of exhibitors. He added: "There are not many events like it in this area.
"It is a great afternoon in a field full of interesting cars and quite often they are sorts you don't often see like Austin Allegros and Triumph Dolomites.
"They are cars that used to be commonplace on the roads.
"It is good to have those alongside sports cars that you expect to see at a car show."
Money raised will go to good causes including the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, Lawrence Home Nurses and Chipping Norton Theatre.
Mr Chambers said the show also offers barbeques, tea and cakes, stalls and steam engines.
For details call Mr Chambers on 01608 658603.

Two-time Super Bowl champion offensive lineman Damien Woody is retiring from the NFL, according to the New York Daily News' Manish Mehta. The big man played his last three seasons for the New York Jets after stints with the New England Patriots and Detroit Lions. He won those two Super Bowls with the latter. No, he did not.
Woody was cut by the Jets early in the offseason, and may have been waiting to see whether the Jets extended a long-term offer to Wayne Hunter, who replaced him during an injury last year. They reportedly have. With his starting job essentially passed along, Woody probably picked the right time to retire, if he's indeed done so. He's active on Twitter, and hasn't yet confirmed or denied the news.
The one-time Pro Bowler has played 173 games, starting 166, in his 12-year career.
For more Jets, head to Gang Green Nation and SB Nation New York.

Tottenham Hotspur put further weight to their claim as title contenders with a comfortable win at Carrow Road, courtesy of a brace from Gareth Bale.
The Welsh winger was in inspired form, and had already had two fine opportunities in the first half. Firstly, after Russell Martin gave the ball away with a poor touch, he raced clear on goal, only to blaze wildly over. Immediately afterwards, he was denied again, this time by a fine John Ruddy save after bamboozling the Norwich defence with a clever turn.
It seemed to be the order of the day for Spurs, who dominated the game from the kick-off, but were let down by poor touches and shoddy finishing, with Emmanuel Adebayor being one of the main culprits. But not long into the second half, the Togolese striker showed his tremendous strength and, combined with some fine footwork (and a lapse in concentration from Ritchie de Laet), set up Bale to smash home the opening goal.
From then on, it looked a clear victory for Spurs, with Norwich's front two of Morison and Holt struggling to have any meaningful impact on the game, with the Tottenham midfield completely running the show. It was no surprise when Bale doubled Spurs' lead, this time with an outstanding goal, producing a phenomenal burst of speed to blaze through the centre of the pitch and get clean on goal, before turning brute force into elegance and composure in an instant, gently dinking the ball over Ruddy to secure the points.
For Norwich, it was a forgettable performance in a game which they never really showed up for. For Spurs, however, the likelihood of putting together a meaningful title challenge is looking more and more realistic with each passing game. They now stand top of the London clubs in the Premier League table, and on their current form, it will not be long before they challenge the Manchester duopoly.

One of the great things about the scene at Del Mar is that there's so much to enjoy at the track. On a Saturday morning, you can get up early and watch horses take their exercise while enjoying free donuts and coffee, and then you can spend the afternoon exploring the track and everything it has to offer.
I woke up bright and early Saturday morning (partially due to jet lag, I must admit) and headed over to Del Mar to watch some morning workouts. There's something so soothing about going to the track in the morning: no matter where you go, there's a sense of calm, with horses enjoying their daily routine while the humans around them work. Catch up on racetrack gossip and just enjoy the beauty of the morning.
Another great thing about going to the track in the morning is that you never know what or who you're going to see. I managed to take this photo of the miraculous Paynter, the horse who overcame a life-threatening illness to re-emerge in top races. He's the horse in the lead galloping in the photo below with the blue and yellow checked saddle towel:
I also spotted Dullahan; he won last year's Pacific Classic, and he's in town to try for a repeat win in this year's edition:
But perhaps my happiest encounter of the morning was with this guy:
His name is Hiccup (which is a fantastic name for a pooch) and I love him tremendously. I'd never met him before but as I walked past his barn he looked at me and then just marched up, stood in front of me and leaned on my legs. He's clearly a well-loved dog, otherwise I would have seriously considered a pup-napping.
That's the thing about visiting a stable area of a racetrack, you get a sense of just how much love and attention go into the care of the animals here. These critters are fiercely loved by the people who take care of them, and it's always wonderful to see the bond between the humans and horses in the stable.
After taking in the scene on the backside (I'm not being gross when I say that, by the way! The "backside" refers to the stable area of the track, not someone's anatomy) I headed over to the grandstand, lured by the promise of free donuts. And I wasn't disappointed. There were simply acres of breakfast pastry. I was in heaven!
After tucking in to donuts and helping myself to some coffee as well, I headed back to my hotel for a quick shower before returning to the track for an afternoon of fun.
When I arrived back at Del Mar, the first half of my day was dedicated to watching the action out of Saratoga. They had a huge day Saturday, which included such major races as the Test, the King's Bishop, the Ballston Spa and the Travers. The Travers is known as the "mid-summer Derby," and with good reason: it's traditionally a race that includes the nation's top 3-year-olds, and this year was no exception. Will Take Charge emerged the victor, sticking his nose in front of Moreno and third-place finisher Orb.
After drinking in the excitement of Saratoga via the television, it was time for me to appreciate the action at Del Mar in person! I started out by heading to the world's largest Instagram meetup, which just so happened to be at the track. More than 1,500 participants showed up, and there was some seriously awesome style on hand. The vibe was rockabilly-chic, with tons of pin-up inspired looks and retro ensembles.
There were vintage touches everywhere, ranging from classic cars to 1940s and '50s-era furniture and, of course, hats!
In addition to enjoying the festive atmosphere, folks at the meetup were having fun taking in the races themselves, cheering on horses and cashing tickets.
It was great to see so many new people at the track, and everyone seemed to be having a blast and loving the Del Mar scene.
After taking in the meetup scene, I headed back over to the paddock just in time to find Dullahan schooling for Sunday's Pacific Classic. He's such a big, good-looking horse, and he's my pick for tomorrow's race.
I also caught sight of Paynter again; his next race will be next Saturday at Saratoga in the Woodward Stakes, and he looks ready to run!
The featured race of the afternoon was the Del Mar Handicap; this is a Breeders' Cup "Win and You're In" race, meaning that the victor would be granted an automatic berth into the Breeders' Cup Turf. There were seven seriously talented contenders in the race, and the test came down to the wire with Vagabond Shoes gutting it out to win by a half-length. I can't wait to see him again in November at the World Championships!
With that, my Del Mar day was done. I'm so, so excited to bring you the sights from tomorrow's Pacific Classic day here, and in the meantime I'll leave you with some more photos of beautiful Del Mar Thoroughbred Club.
