To a degree that's hard to appreciate outside Wisconsin, Tommy Thompson's impending move to Washington to become Secretary of Health and Human Services will transform this state's politics. Now entering his fifteenth year as governor, Thompson has for so long and so completely dominated our political life that we are used to mapping its history in Steinbergian epochs. There is Old Wisconsin, a receding green landscape where one can still glimpse the tiny figures of Fighting Bob La Follette, Father Groppi, Gaylord Nelson and the circling ghost of Joe McCarthy. And then there is Today's Wisconsin, an eternal, life-sized present, physically more akin to northern New Jersey and better known as "Tommy's Place." That yet another political world will soon come into view has us more than confused. We are dazed with hope. We even seem to be breathing differently.
But enough about us. What can we tell you about our "man from Elroy," the tiny farming town, deep in our coldest sticks, that is Thompson's lifelong home and the place he long represented in the State Assembly?
First, don't underestimate him. Before becoming governor, Thompson's twenty-year career in the State Assembly was distinguished only by painstaking party hacking and strident but ineffective advocacy of then still unfashionable right-wing views. Among liberals, his election as governor was greeted as a brief hiccup in state politics largely attributable to a Rustbelt recession that still resisted sleep here. Thompson was thought to be nasty but a rube, sufficiently at odds with the state's centrist political culture to be transient in his power.
Boy, were they wrong. Upon taking office, Thompson moved immediately to tighten his control of the state apparatus, overrunning Wisconsin's traditionally independent civil service with a small army of intensely loyal and openly political appointees. He patronized continuously and at scale, afterward tapping a river of corporate cash to float easily from one landslide re-election to the next. And he simply rolled legislative Democrats, stabbing them to death with his magic veto pen. Wisconsin grants its governors the unusual power to strike not just line items but individual words and numbers, and to reduce any proposed expenditure. Used infrequently before Thompson, the power in theory makes legislative budgets the equivalent of phone books, ready for gubernatorial cut and paste. Thompson made theory practice, boldly invoking the power some 2,000 times to shape law in his own image, and not once was he overridden. Make no mistake about it--the rube ruled.
Second, don't box him ideologically. Thompson signed one of the nation's most punitive late-term abortion bans (later overturned, with many others, by the US Supreme Court) and is on record as believing that abortion should be criminalized except where necessary to save a woman's life, or in cases of rape or incest. But he's also strongly defended stem-cell researchers (who use extracted embryo cells) at the state university and worked with Madison's liberal US Representative Tammy Baldwin, who happens to be an open lesbian, on women's healthcare concerns.
He has crusaded ceaselessly against welfare recipients, eventually gaining national renown by time-limiting their eligibility for support. (This Wisconsin "miracle" is hardly that. It achieved massive reductions in welfare caseloads by simply losing track of former recipients or dissolving them in a sea of working poor.) But he's also been quicker than other welfare "reformers" to help those once on welfare rolls with expanded childcare assistance and health insurance, and extended those benefits to many others. He killed light rail in Milwaukee and is a god for the state's highway lobby. His most enduring legacy, indeed, won't be welfare reform but sprawl. However, as chairman of Amtrak, he's also recently promoted high-speed rail in the Midwest. As anti-union as the next Republican, he's supported joint labor-management efforts at worker training and job retention. And so on. Always happy to throw big bloody chunks of red meat to the right, Thompson makes deals with others, too. His only limit: "if business does not object."
Third, watch out. Thompson's intelligence and near-feral sense of power, along with his longstanding ties to the Bush family, samurai devotion to the Republican Party and close attention to political detail (not to mention his polished self-caricature as a happy Babbitt from the heartland, brimming with confidence and good cheer interrupted only by occasional tearful confessions of how much he loves public service, or the lightning decapitation of a political opponent) make him a formidable political force. Add in several hundred billion dollars in HHS programs and tens of thousands of lines of amendable administrative program code, and you have something worth worrying seriously about.
Worth emphasizing here is that Thompson is not another half-cocked James Watt. By nature--and despite his Zeus-like reign in Wisconsin--he is a team player who treasures political discipline. But as a political pro, he seldom shows his hand before he plays it, and it is seldom possible to predict just what that play will be. You can only rest uneasy that whatever it is it will come at you full-bore. Prudence recommends both a readiness to respond in kind and more than the usual openness to the possibility of tactical alliance.
Good luck, America.
When W. gave the nod to New Jersey Governor Christie Todd Whitman for the top EPA spot in his administration, the tone-deaf national press corps praised the appointment of a "moderate" (largely on the basis of Whitman's inconstant pro-choice positions). A little digging would have revealed that Whitman has been an unmitigated disaster for New Jersey's environmental protection. Under her governance, fines of air and water polluters have plummeted 70 percent. Indeed, after her nomination the head of the Chemical Industry Council of New Jersey praised her to the Newark Star-Ledger for having restored "balance" to the state's enviro policies after the aggressively antipolluter measures taken by her Democratic predecessor, Jim Florio.
Thanks to Whitman's evisceration of state enviro regs as well as a raft of subsidies and tax cuts to developers, suburban sprawl gobbled up more open space and verdant land during her tenure than at any other period in New Jersey's history. Moreover, she decapitated the state Department of Environmental Protection staff by 738 employees in her first three years in office, cut the remaining staff's workweek by five hours, eliminated fines of polluters as a source of DEP revenue and made large cuts in the DEP's budget. That's why the New Jersey Sierra Club's Bill Wolfe has warned that Whitman might "dismantle [federal] EPA and take it out of the enforcement business. I believe that this is precisely the policy Whitman has presided over and legitimized in New Jersey." One mechanism was the Office of Dispute Resolution, which she established to mediate conflicts over environmental issues (usually resolved in favor of business). She also installed an Office of Business Ombudsman under the Secretary of State (the Star-Ledger labeled it "essentially a business lobby") to further grease the wheels of the bureaucracy for polluters and developers, and to act as a counterweight to the DEP.
If Senate Democrats want to take a serious look at Whitman's record in the Garden State, they should start with "Open for Business," a three-part exposé by the Bergen County Record in 1996. After a ten-month investigation, The Record detailed dozens of cases in which Whitman's corporate-coddling policies had circumvented laws designed to protect the environment. Often, those getting favored treatment were big campaign contributors, like Finn Caspersen, then chairman of Beneficial, at the time the nation's largest independent consumer-loan company. The firm got more than $182 million in taxpayer subsidies in the form of road construction designed to ease traffic around its lavish office complex in Peapack--improvements that increased the value of an open 700-acre tract that Beneficial owned nearby. While all this was going on, Caspersen, his family and their political action committee gave the state GOP $143,250.
A more recent example: For the past three years, Roche Vitamin, a manufacturing plant in Belvidere, has been "belching out 300 tons of methanol annually--at least 10 times the rate state permits allow," according to the Star-Ledger. And Clinton's EPA has been fighting Whitman's proposals to further dilute state regs controlling water pollution and coastal development, which would sanction gigantic increases in pollution and hand over environmentally sensitive lands to rapacious developers. No wonder The Weekly Standard's David Brooks praised Whitman's nomination (and that of her anti-enviro counterpart proposed for Interior, Gale Norton) as reflecting the Bush Administration's "corporate mentality."
Whether the Dems have the stomach for a real fight against Whitman is an open question--her nomination has already been endorsed by her state's influential senior Democratic senator, Robert Torricelli. (Says a knowledgeable state Dem: "This is The Torch's way of paying back [Woodbridge mayor] Jim McGreevey," whose aggressive politicking in the gubernatorial race caused Torricelli to abort his plans to run this fall. "With Christie at EPA, McGreevey's GOP opponent, State Senate president Donald DiFrancesco, becomes acting governor and gets a big advantage.") Whitman and The Torch also get campaign cash from many of the same corporate polluters, and such bipartisan influence-buyers are likely to go all out in lobbying Senate Dems on Whitman's behalf.
Montgomery's transit system isn't segregated anymore. It barely exists.
In Texas, vote-counters routinely count a dimpled chad as a vote
for the candidate because it clearly establishes the voter's intent.
Three weeks ago, that sentence would have been gibberish, a sure sign
that the writer had lost his mind. But I offer it today as the key point
in the debate about who should be President and as proof positive that
the Bush camp is being, to put it politely, disingenuous.
Both Texas and Florida law hold that a voter's intent is all important
in determining how a vote is counted. An indented ballot--the now-famous
dimpled or pregnant chad--has been interpreted in states, from Texas to
Massachusetts, as proof that the voter intended to vote for a particular
All the Florida Supreme Court has done, by a unanimous vote, is to
affirm that the manual count is legal, just as it would be in Texas. So
what's the fuss? Why are all of the Bushies yapping about the possibility
of a stolen election, given that what county election officials are now
doing in Florida has long been the common practice in their candidate's
home state?
George W. Bush is acting as if he believes the presidency is part of
his natural inheritance. Otherwise, why wouldn't he gracefully play out
the hand that the Florida Supreme Court has dealt and accept Al Gore's
offer to agree to support the decision of the voters as announced in four
days, a decision that is still most likely to go Bush's way?
Even with the dimpled chad ballots included, Bush may be the next
President, ambiguous though his victory may be. He did, after all, lose
the national popular vote by more than 250,000 votes, which would make
him the first loser since 1888 to squeak through in the electoral
college. But our system requires that, if that happens, he be granted the
awesome powers of the presidency, in which case we should all give him
the respect due to the occupant of that office.
By endorsing the manual count, the Florida Supreme Court made the best
of a bad situation. The Bush team is solely responsible for not
exercising its right--after Gore asked for recounts in several
counties--to request hand counts in those counties where Bush could have
picked up more votes. Instead, Bush and his aides have done their best to
obstruct the fairest way to recount legitimate votes in disputed
counties, and they have muddied the waters with their attacks on manual
counting as some sort of Democratic plot. It isn't, as demonstrated by
the widespread use of this device to check the fallibility of machines
throughout the nation. Imperfect, yes; devious, no.
And what about the other voting irregularities in Florida, most of
which seem to have cheated Gore? The case of the Republican campaign
helpers in Seminole County who were allowed to work in the registrar's
office--some up to ten days--adding required information to thousands of
absentee ballot applications that would have been disqualified; the
flawed butterfly ballots in Palm Beach County; the tens of thousands of
ballots of black voters around Jacksonville that were rejected because of
a confusing ballot that led to double-punching.
The Gore campaign decided against asking that the outcome of the
election be held up pending an investigation of those cases. Gore also
stated that he wouldn't accept any electoral college votes cast for him
by Bush electors in any state, and will willingly accept the results of
the count underway in Florida as a final disposition of the presidential
race, no matter the outcome.
The Bush camp appears ready to accept that result only if its man is
the victor. Toward that end, it is willing to trample on the cherished
Republican principle of states' rights by appealing to the US Supreme
Court to overturn Florida's highest court. It has also threatened to use
Florida's GOP-controlled state Legislature to undermine the court, making
a hash of the principle of an independent judiciary.
The Bush blitzkrieg against the Democrats for exercising their right
to ask for a manual count betrays the bipartisan cooperation that Bush
promised during the campaign. It is neither candidate's fault that this,
the most closely contested election in over a century, has proved so
difficult to call.
Bush probably will win the electoral battle, but he will only emerge
as a true winner by taking the high road now and joining Gore in pledging
to be bound by the vote totals as reported to the secretary of state in
keeping with the Florida Supreme Court's order.
A land-claim suit is pitting Oneidas against other upstate residents.
The judge who chided Bush over aid to children is part of a state tradition.
In Michigan, it's a battle over school vouchers. In Alaska the fight is over medical marijuana. Nebraskans are being asked to outlaw civil unions. In Colorado, Amendment 25 would impose a twenty-four-hour waiting period and antiabortion propaganda on women wanting to terminate a pregnancy. These are just a few of the dozens of state initiatives and ballot measures that voters will face on November 7.
The overwhelming majority of them are in the Mountain West and on the Pacific Coast--and most are rollbacks led by conservatives. "There are some good progressive initiatives," says Amy Pritchard of the Ballot Initiative Strategy Center. "But progressives are mostly on the defensive." Because initiatives generally don't get the same attention that candidates do, voters tend not to focus on them until the last minute, if they focus at all, making outcomes hard to predict.
Once again California is the bloodiest and costliest of ballot- initiative battlegrounds. As much as $50 million is being spent by both sides on Proposition 38, which would widely introduce school vouchers. Silicon Valley multimillionaire Tim Draper is bankrolling the pro-voucher forces, but stiff opposition from teachers' unions and elected officials seems to be dominating. (A similar plan in Michigan could win, however.)
A similarly salutary role was not played by many of these same officials on another California measure. Cooked up by the bipartisan political establishment, Prop 34 would short-circuit real campaign finance reform by enacting a measure that is a reform in name only. In San Francisco, a creative Proposition L would close legal loopholes that allow dot-coms and other gentrifiers to turn low-income residential and industrial neighborhoods into gilded offices and condo villages. Prop 36, a measure that would reverse the logic of the failed drug war by substituting treatment for incarceration of nonviolent users, seems to be gaining the upper hand, with substantial support from several groups backed by financier George Soros. Opposition to the measure ranges from prosecutors to the otherwise liberal actor Martin Sheen.
Alaskans appear to be poised to approve a cannabis decriminalization law that would also grant pardons to people convicted under state marijuana laws and make them eligible for restitution. Nevadans, too, will be voting on whether to approve medical marijuana--as well as whether to ban gay marriage. In Arkansas and Massachusetts, conservatives are championing antitax initiatives.
Oregon's menu of twenty-six ballot measures is a nightmare for progressives. The militantly antigay Oregon Citizens Alliance has collected more than $170,000 to promote Measure 9, which would ban public schools from teaching anything that promotes or sanctions homosexuality, but opponents have raised about six times that amount. Meanwhile, progressives are also having to spend resources to oppose measures 92 and 98, which would restrict the ability of unions to collect money to use for political purposes from more than 200,000 unionized workers.
The good news from the Northwest is that Oregon is one of two states (Missouri is the other) where voters have a chance to approve clean-money campaign finance reforms. In the past few years, four states--Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts and Arizona--have approved such laws. In each, the special-interest-funded opposition barely put in a showing, but that has changed. "We have always been David and the other side the Goliaths," says Public Campaign executive director Nick Nyhart. "In the past Goliath never came to play. Now he's out in force."
An Oregon radio campaign tries to tar the reformers as fronts for eco-terrorists and neo-Nazis. In Missouri, corporate opponents are threatening to spend $2 million to defeat the measure; to date Anheuser-Busch has led the charge with a $25,000 contribution, followed closely by KC Power & Light, Hallmark and the Missouri Association of Realtors. "It's crucial that these two measures pass," says Nyhart. "Clean money is an idea that has been winning, and we don't want to lose the momentum." In both states, the battle is tight and likely to go down to the wire.

The Atlanta Thrashers did some extensive cleaning on Wednesday, firing head coach John Anderson and selecting Rick Dudley as the new general manager to replace Don Waddell, who will now be team president. The entire coaching staff leaves along with Anderson.
Tim from SBN's Thrashers blog, Bird Watchers Anonymous, is surprised by that.
But not only is John Anderson out, the entire coaching staff is gone: Steve Weeks, Todd Nelson, Randy Cunneyworth.
I'm somewhat shocked by this, as I considered Cunney to be a contender for the next coaching gig here. That may still be the case, but for the moment, it looks like everybody is out.
Atlanta started the season with promise, but fell into old -- re: losing -- habits again. A four-win-in-15-game December was the largest cause of their demise, and that was with Ilya Kovalchuk. Shortly after narrowly missing the postseason, veteran Vyacheslav Kozlov criticized Anderson's coaching style.
"To me, this was the best team in 11 years of the organization," Kozlov said on Sunday. "This franchise had the best players. Right now, they can not blame [Ilya] Kovalchuk or [Slava] Kozlov. They have to take responsibility, because I think ownership did everything right, signed good players, they have a good goalie, good defense -- but something is missing. I think we are missing from the coaching staff. Looks like they have fun, but unfortunately in the NHL you have to work. You have to prepare for every game.
"There are lots of good teams in the NHL and you think you are a good team if you see the roster. That doesn't work in this league. You have to do homework and work hard. I think I can put a big question mark that they weren't preparing."
Anderson responded on Tuesday with this:
"He played on every power play right up until January. It wasn't just him. I sat out [Todd] White. I sat out [Bryan] Little. Everybody wants to be coach, but no one wants to make the crappy decisions. I said when I [first scratched Kozlov], this was the hardest thing I've ever had to do as a coach, is to sit a player of his stature. But I had to think of what was best for the team at that time. Maybe I'm wrong. I just want you to know I did it with a heavy heart."
As president, Waddell will shift his attention to the business aspects of a team that's ranked near the bottom in average attendance. Since their inclusion into the league in 1999, the Thrashers have had three winning seasons, earned one playoff berth and have yet to win a playoff game.
Change was inevitable, but are the Atlanta Thrashers going to be better for it?

Michael Henry Vaughn, 60, of Mt. Vernon, passed away 5:27 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 29, 2013, at St. Louis University Hospital in St. Louis.
Michael was born Dec. 17, 1952, in East St. Louis, a son of Pleasant and Della Alberta (Reeder) Vaughn. He married Lesa Renee' (Drury) on April 5, 1991, in Murphysboro and she survives in Mt. Vernon.

On Jan. 3, the Portland Pirates added two more forwards to their roster. Jesse Mychan and Corey Trivino each signed professional try-out contracts, bringing both players up to the AHL from the ECHL. So far, both are excited and happy about the move to Portland.
"I'm enjoying it," Trivino said. "The team's been really welcoming and driving us to the rink and giving us an opportunity to do whatever we can and just including us as if we're part of the team. It's been a good first couple of weeks and I'm looking forward to working hard and staying here."
Trivino was playing with the Stockton Thunder before signing with the Pirates and is once again playing with Brandon Yip, who was a senior during Trivino's freshman year at Boston University when the two won the national championship.
"He's a skill guy, he's pretty deceiving," Yip said. "He's got great hands, he can play the energy line role as well. He's pretty diverse."
Yip believes Trivino will add some depth to the Portland roster and be able to use his skills to help out the team.
"He's got a good hockey sense," Yip praised. "He knows where everyone is, he's creative out there, he can make a lot of things happen for his line mates."
"I'd like to be an all-around type of player, not be a liability in the defensive zone but also have the offensive talent to create chances and create offense," Trivino said. "I'm going to create offense but make that great defensive play as well, be an all-around player. I'd say someone like Vinny [Lecavalier] back in the day when he was with Tampa."
Trivino has shown plenty of offensive touch in his career. After being drafted by the New York Islanders in the second round (36th overall) in the 2008 NHL Draft, Trivino has spent time at Boston University and in the ECHL with the Florida Everglades and the Thunder. His best season while playing for the Terriers was as a junior in 2010-11 when he finished the season with eight goals, 20 assists and 28 points in 37 games played. In two seasons in the ECHL, he racked up 75 points in 92 games, including 24 points in 29 games with the Thunder this season before signing with the Pirates. In seven games with the Pirates so far, he has had three assists and is a plus-two.
Mychan brings a bit more edge to the Pirates. At the time of his signing, he was the leader in penalty minutes in the ECHL with 123 in 26 games with the Colorado Eagles.
"I'm definitely more of a gritty kind of guy," Mychan said. "I pride myself on my hard work and if goals come, they come, but I'm here to protect teammates and just be a presence out there."
With the Eagles, Mychan tallied four goals and four assists but stated that his physicality would be his best attribute, particularly hitting and fighting.
"It just comes along with the way I play," he said. "I'll be a physical guy, I'll get the crowd into it, you know, take it from there."
So far with the Pirates, Mychan has seen action in two games, going scoreless with 2 PIM.
Trivino, Mychan and the Pirates will be back in action Friday when they host the Bridgeport Sound Tigers at 7 p.m. at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee. Friday's game can be heard on the Pirates flagship stations WPEI 95.5/95.9 FM as well as WEZR AM 1240 in the Lewiston/Auburn area and WTME AM 780/1450 in Oxford County. The game can also be heard online at portlandpirates.com by clicking "Listen Live" and can be seen live on AHL Live atahllive.com. The pregame show starts at 6:40 with Jeff Mannix and special guest Jordan Martinook. Tickets are available at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee by calling 783-2009 ext. 525 or online at thecolisee.com.

Eagles Soar Past Cornell to Win Fourth Straight
FORT MYERS, Fla. - The FGCU women's basketball team extended their winning streak to four games with a 70-36 victory over the visiting Big Red of Cornell. The Eagles were led by Kelsey Jacobson and Chelsea Lyles, each of whom scored 14 points in the victory.
FGCU jumped out in front early, opening the game on a 13-2 run, including 2 layups from Adrianne McNally. The Eagles would maintain a large lead throughout the first half, mostly due to some hard work on the glass; FGCU outrebounded the Big Red in the first half, 24-17, including 13 offensive boards. FGCU also played tough defense, forcing Cornell into 15 turnovers in the first half. Chelsea Lyles (12 points) and Kelsey Jacobson (10 points) each reached double-figures in scoring in the first half for the Eagles, as FGCU held a 38-17 lead at the break.
The Eagles continued their strong play in the second half, again starting the period well. FGCU outscored Cornell 14-3 to start the second half to extend the lead to 52-20. FGCU would slow the pace down for the rest of the game, eventually putting away the Big Red by a score of 70-36.
For the Big Red (4-5), Shanna Scarselletta led the way with 9 points, in addition to 4 rebounds. Allie Munson pulled down a team-high 6 boards and added 4 points.
For the Eagles (8-2), Kelsey Jacobson and Chelsea Lyles each led all scorers with 14 points, with Lyles also pulling down 7 rebounds. Adrianne McNally scored 10 points, pulled down a game-high 10 boards, and dished out a game-high 4 assists. Shannon Murphy also registered 4 assists in addition to scoring 6 points.
The Eagles hit the road for their next two games, both in Nashville, Tennessee. First the Eagles will visit Lipscomb on Saturday, January 3rd, at 3:00 PM. Then on Monday, January 5th, FGCU will take on Belmont at 6:00 PM. The Eagles land back at home on Thursday, January 8th, as part of another Eagle Hoops doubleheader. The women will take on East Tennessee State at 5:00 PM, followed by the men doing battle with Stetson at approximately 7:15 PM.

This "tower" so to speak is also more of a dome, and is nearly an extension of Fire Me A Fatburger Rock. The main buttress holds 5 routes and faces primarily East, getting morning sun. The routes there are both trad and sport, and range from 5.9 to 5.11. There is a fixed anchor at the top of Bufords/High Strung to belay and rap from. Since this rock lies within the 'Wanderland' (pun) of rocks, it is in a wilderness area and is not open to further bolting, but based on my experince there, that's no big loss. The face is exfoliating enough to prevent a truely high quality face line from being an option anyway.
Getting There
Hike into Wonderland (or 'wanderland' as I refer to it, for the potential to get lost) past Uncle Willie's, then pass Bankrupcy Wall and follow along the Fatburger rock on your left until the wash opens up. At that moment you look left and can see the Foolproof Tower nestled into the Fatburger Rock's NE corner. It is identified by the presence of two bolted lines and a cap roof near the top. A main buttress on the wall also has a strong dihedral on each it's left and right side.

The eight islands of Japan sprang into existence through Divine Intervention.
The first two gods who came into existence were Izanagi no Mikoto and Izanami no Mikoto, the Exalted Male and Exalted Female. It was their job to make the land for people to live on.
They went to the bridge between heaven and earth and, using a jewel-encrusted halberd, Izanagi and Izanami churned up the sea into a frothy foam. As salty drips of water fell from the tip of the halberd the first island was formed. Its name was Onogoro.
So far, so good. But when Izanagi and Izanami first met on their island, Izanami spoke to Isanagi without being spoken to first. Since she was the female, and this was improper, their first union created badly-formed offspring who were sent off into the sea in boats.
The next time they met, Izanagi was sure to speak first, ensuring the proper rules were followed, and this time they produced eight children, which became the islands of Japan.
I'm sure you did not fail to miss the significance of this myth for the establishment of Japanese formal society.
At present, Japan is the financial capital of Asia. It has the second largest economy in the world and the largest metropolitan area (Tokyo.)
Technically there are three thousand islands making up the Japanese archipelago. Izanagi and Izanami must have been busy little devils with their jewelled halberd...
Japan's culture is highly technical and organized. Everything sparkles and swooshes on silent, miniaturized mechanisms.
They're a world leader in robotics, and the Japanese have the longest life-expectancy on earth.

Concern over electricity works at Walthamstow and Leyton marshes
8:32am Thursday 22nd November 2012 in News By Daniel Binns, Senior reporter
CONCERNS have been raised about an electricity firm's plans to dig 50 metre deep holes in green spaces including a nature reserve.
The National Grid wants to carry out works on Walthamstow and Leyton Marshes as part of a seven-year project to install new power cables deep underground.
It plans to drill a tunnel all the way from a substation near the Hackney side of Lea Bridge Road to the marshes before curving north west through Stamford Hill and Finsbury Park, but the firm said it needs to investigate the earth first.
The company says it will dig a series of boreholes, which will be 50m deep and 30cm wide, along the route.
The areas affected will be fenced off while work is carried out and the holes will be covered when completed. However staff will return to them "occasionally" to check on them in future.
The National Grid says works in Waltham Forest will take around 26 days to complete, but has not provided details of the exact locations or when the digging will take place.
It is also unclear how many holes it plans to dig.
Environmentalists have expressed concern about the impact of the works and say it is another example of further meddling with north east London's wild green spaces.
It comes after complaints about a temporary sports hall built on Leyton Marsh during the Olympics, where the land is yet to be returned to its original condition as promised by Games bosses.
Caroline Day, of the Save Leyton Marsh campaign, said: "Our concerns are not just about what the National Grid wants to do, it's more that previously undisturbed green spaces are becoming increasingly interfered with.
"There's an attitude now that these agencies can dig up land and then just put a bit of turf on the top afterwards and expect everything to return to normal.
"But if a wild habitat is disturbed then some species will often never return, which is particularly bad when they are rare."
Campaigners are also concerned by the National Grid statement's that the underground tunnels "will significantly reduce disruption to the local area as we are able to lay the cables and carry out maintenance work without digging up the road network."
Ms Day said: "If their main motivation is not to disturb the road network then that is a genuine concern, it says a lot about their priorities. And it raises questions about if they will dig up the marshes again in future".
The National Grid says the new cabling is necessary for it to keep up with rising demand for electricity in London.
A spokesman said: "On a complex engineering project such as this, it is vital that we have a detailed understanding of the ground conditions we will be tunnelling through.
"Therefore a series of boreholes have been dug along the tunnel route to ensure we have accurate and reliable ground condition information.
"Our borehole investigations at the Leyton and Walthamstow Marshes are part of this work and will take approximately 26 days to complete."
He added: "National Grid is committed to treading carefully wherever we carry out our work.
"We always endeavour to deliver our vital work as sensitively as possible and are always mindful of the natural environment."

These firms always claim 'sensitivity' to the environment and then use acres of dayglow and ugly great fencings which they plaster with horrid signage. Civil engineers don't know the meaning of the word 'sensititity' just like they rarely give a monkey's about the 'natural environment'. Announcements like this are usually lip service.

by ABC 6 Chief Political Reporter Mark Curtis
At the noon Mass at the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul, there were prayers for Pope Benedict the Sixteenth, who announced he will resign at the end of this month.
Parishioners - who praised the Pope - were stunned. David Peshek, a Providence Catholic said, "Big surprise. Huge Surprise.
Michael Anderson, a Providence Catholic said, "I think he's a wise man. I think he's doing the right thing. He's obviously though it out and made his choice."
Equally as surprised was Bishop Thomas Tobin, who has met the Pope a number of times, including during a photo of the two back in 2007.
Bishop Tobin, who leads the Diocese of Providence said, "He's a wonderful man. A man of great intellect. A very holy man. Wise, still, but very humble. And I think it's that sense of humility that's led him to take this move."
And just 15 months ago the Pope presented Bishop Tobin, with a special medal, known as the "Benedict Cross."
Mark Curtis asked "That's a special memento? And Bishop Tobin responded, "It is for sure."
ABC6 Reporter Mark Curtis said, "As for who might succeed Pope Benedict, there has been speculation in recent years that the next Pope might come from South America or Africa, two continents with fast growing Catholic populations."
Bishop Tobin says that may be a consideration, but not the determining factor.
"But in the end it will be the Holy Spirit who directs the selection of a new Pope. Will it be someone from a Third World, someone from Europe, who knows? Only God knows. It's always interesting to speculate about it, but we really don't know at this point," Bishop Tobin said.
Bishop Tobin believes a new Pope will be in place, by Easter Sunday which is March 31st.

You can't see it or smell it and with the colder weather, firefighters say there's an increased risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Carbon monoxide is known as the silent killer. Nearly 400 Americans die unintentionally from carbon monoxide poisoning each year, according to the CDC.
As the holidays approach, local public agencies are reminding residents to be aware.
A chimney seems relatively harmless but Jeff Schneider warns, if it's not clean, it can be a deadly source of carbon monoxide.
"When it's really cold, birds like to stay on top of chimneys to stay warm. They get overcome by the gas, they fall down into the chimney, they wake up and clog the chimney. Now it sounds a little crazy but it's a reality, we see it," said Schneider, Owner, Schneider Heating and Air.
Another issue, bricks that can age with time, deteriorating and clogging the airway.
When a chimney's clogged, carbon monoxide can enter the home.
Dan Grimm with the Evansville Fire Department explains that if there's no detector , you probably won't know the dangerous gas is in your home.
That's the bad thing about carbon monoxide. It's the silent killer. It's colorless, odorless, tasteless," said Grimm.
So the EFD and The Building Commission are reminding you to be aware.
99% of the time it's a faulty detector, but the Building Commissioner confirms there have been deaths from carbon monoxide here in Evansville.
"So we want to get the word out and make sure that everybody is aware of this danger," said Ben Miller, Evansville Building Commissioner.
If exposed to carbon monoxide, experts say people can expect flu-like symptoms: headache, nausea, being light-headed.
Experts say to change the batteries on carbon monoxide detectors every six months. Getting your heating and cooling systems checked by an expert is also something homeowners should do each year.

The Word: What's coming in 'Pacific Rim 2′?
I haven't seen "Pacific Rim" yet, but I just read a bunch of spoilers for it just so I could find out what director Guillermo Del Tormo has planned for its potential sequel. You owe me big, internet.
"Pacific Rim," the rare all-original summer blockbuster, is on track for a bigger opening weekend than expected, which is good news for those of us who are a little sick of superheroes and kids' toys. Things are looking so rosy, in fact, that Del Tormo is already spilling on his plans for "Pacific Rim 2: Atlantic Edge," or whatever. Minor spoilers for "Pacific Rim" ahead, but if I have to read 'em, the least you can do is do the same.
At the end of PR, the robots have a showdown outside the wormhole between our world and the monsters, and one of the robots, Gipsy, goes through to the other side. "Just think about it for a second," del Toro told MTV. "We sent Gipsy to the other side, right? It exploded, but whatever remains stays there."
That's not the only form we'll see Gipsy again, either."We will have Gipsy 2.0 for sure," del Toro said. "We will have Gipsy 2.0 for sure. Second thing is you're gonna see a merging of Kaiju and Jaeger. And that is quite special."
I refuse to look up what Kaiju and Jaeger are.

NEW WASHINGTON, Ind. (WDRB) -- A southern Indiana woman is alive, despite having been trapped in a wrecked car for several days.
Jenevieve Elliott, 24, was driving east on State Road 62 near Charlestown State Park when she drove her car over the center line and down a ravine.
Family members say she left her home in New Washington on Friday to get milk from the store.
Elliott told police she was in the ravine for multiple days. Authorities aren't sure when Elliott actually crashed the car, but doctors say her injuries were at least one day old.
With a fractured hip and rib cage, Elliot tried and failed to climb the ravine three times. It took her until Monday morning to gain enough strength to make it up the hill and wave down a passing driver. In an accident report it says the driver saw a woman laying on the side of the road waving her hand in the air. The woman pulled over and called authorities.
When authorities arrived on scene they determined that the car traveled down a small embankment, striking several trees and overturning at least once before coming to a stop in a deep ravine.
According to the Clark County Sheriff's office, a license plate check of the car revealed that the car had been stolen. The owner of the vehicle, Elliot's aunt, had reported the vehicle stolen on Friday. The aunt's purse and drivers license were also found inside the car.
Elliott is currently recovering at the University of Louisville Hospital.
According to authorities, blood work has been ordered to use as evidence in the crash.

If you just happened to pass by a little gathering on the square in downtown Tyler Tuesday afternoon, there's no way you could know just how important it was, or how much work it took to make it happen.
But at the center of that gathering, a Purple Heart medal is finally home, after a trip from more than 1500 miles away.
Kris Wilson of Edom had given up on finding her long-lost uncle, Robert Bates, who died on board the U.S.S. Arizona at Pearl Harbor. Her family had tried to fill that hole in its history for 20 years.
What they couldn't know is that earlier this year in Bakersfield, California, someone found Robert's purple heart, basically in the street.
That medal found its way to a high school history class, taught by Ken Hooper.
"When they brought it in, I showed it to the students, and they attacked the computers," Hooper said.
Hooper's students knew how important the medal was, but were stonewalled by, of all things, a 70-year-old typo.
"The official Pearl Harbor web site, says Tobert Bates, not Robert Bates," Hooper said.
Hooper and his students kept working, and finally connected Robert to his niece in East Texas, who couldn't believe it when she got the phone call.
"That part of our history was almost lost for good," Wilson said. "His great-nieces and nephews, his memory will live on."
And they'll have that medal to help. Hooper made the trip from California to personally deliver it to the family. And he's got a great story to tell his students when he gets home.
"Teachers get paid in strange ways, this was payment in full," Hooper said. "To see her reaction, I knew that we did the right thing."
Thanks to the work done by Mr. Hooper's class, the Bates family also found more of their family in Athens, TX.

Lawmakers Reviewing Security Protocol After Arizona Shooting
State lawmakers tell us they are reviewing security protocol in the wake of this weekend's attempt on the life of Arizona Congresswoman Gabby Giffords.
Many of the Washington lawmakers say they are confident in their safety at the capitol.
"We have security here, state patrol is here as well. I feel fairly safe here."
Representative Mike Armstrong says state patrol officers work two week rotations alongside full-time House and Senate security officers. There are also surveillance cameras throughout the building.
Armstrong says there used to be metal detectors but they let the lease expire after a year, and he's glad they're gone!
"We've gone through a variety of security measures. We tried metal detectors for a while but I like the fact this legislature is open to the public and they don't go through metal detectors. We do allow people to go up in the gallery."
Lawmakers say they've tried to maintain a balance, giving citizens access to elected officials while providing a secure environment – both important priorities.
State Senator Derek Kilmer says democracy will continue, especially in the wake of the shooting tragedy.
"Particularly when we have challenging times like this, it's more important for citizens to be involved."
Even though none of the lawmakers we spoke with today says he or she plans to make any changes for *personal safety* certain aspects of security at the capitol will get a closer look, according to Representative Lisa Brown.
"It is a common occurrence for legislators and their staff to get threats and we have a protocol for having that investigated by security and the state patrol. We're going to review that with all of our staff and members because we do want people to be safe."

It was more than two decades ago, and Penny Hildreth was already feeling overwhelmed by life when she learned that she had type 1 diabetes. She was pregnant with her second child and worried about the baby's safety after a car accident that had left Hildreth with a broken collarbone, a broken rib, and a punctured spleen. It was the spleen injury that ultimately led to her diagnosis of diabetes, but she was more concerned about the baby, a little girl who was born healthy despite the automobile accident. "I always say that she's my miracle," says the 46-year-old Portland resident.

Diabetes affects nearly 25 million Americans, and that number is expected to grow substantially every year. It's the fifth leading cause of death in America, more than breast cancer and AIDs combined. And according to a report released last week from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), it's a disease that's costing Americans $83 billion a year in hospital fees — 23 percent of total hospital spending.

NeuroMetrix, Inc., a Massachusetts-based medical device company, has filed a 510(k) form with the US Food and Drug Administration for the SENSUSTM, a pain therapy device for people who suffer diabetic neuropathy. A 510(k) is a "premarket notification" of a company's intent to market a medical product. The FDA then tests the product and provides feedback to the manufacturer. Once the FDA clears the product, its maker can introduce it to the US market.

Diabetes affects nearly one in every ten people in Texas. For a rare few, traditional treatments don't work. But, more people are turning to dogs for help.
Diabetic alert dogs are trained from a very early age to detect changes in a person's blood sugar. Their keen sense of smell can tell when blood sugar is dropping.
For one Amarillo man, owning a diabetes alert dog would change his life. Rod Brashears has had diabetes for over 30 years and it has been hard to manage.
"My sugars would drop so rapidly that I don't feel them coming on and before you know it, I'm in diabetic shock.," he said.
The Thompson family, from Amarillo, just recently got a diabetes alert dog for their young daughter Avery, who has a similar kind of diabetes to Brashears'. They tell us the new addition to the family has changed their lives and has given Avery more freedom and comfort.
"Moriah, her dog, lets her go anywhere without me...It's just a whole new world for her," said Avery's mother Melanie Thompson.
Brashears says alert dogs usually cost between $8,000 to $25,000. To help raise money for his dog, Brashears friends are hosting a chili cook off fundraiser, Saturday May 11, from noon to 5, at Sam Houston Park in Amarillo.

Update on Bank of the West Checking Account Bonus, Free ATMs and Online Savings Account
Bank of the West has extended its $100 checking account bonus. According to the bank's promotions page, the new checking account must be opened by 4/16/2010. You can receive a $100 when you open a checking account with funds new to Bank of the West and set up direct deposit of at least $250 OR pay 10 bills online. I reviewed the small print in this January post.
Update: It appears Bank of the West has changed the availability of the promotion since January. According to the CSR, online account opening is limited to states which have Bank of the West branches. These states include AZ, CA, CO, ID, IA, KS, MN, MO, NE, NV, NM, ND, OK, OR, SD, UT, WA, WI and WY.
When I contacted the bank in January, I was told this bonus was available to people in any state, and you didn't need to come into a branch. Readers seemed to confirm this in the comments in January. Here's one of the comments:
We did this offer in late 2009 as well. We did NOT visit a local branch. We filled out the application online. We used direct deposit to fulfill the requirement. $100 bonus was paid eventually.
If you have participated in similar promotions in the past, please leave a comment about your experience.
Also from my January call, I was told they don't do a hard credit inquiry in the application (only a soft pull). So you shouldn't have to worry about a ding to your credit score. It should be noted that I've often received wrong info on this issue from CSRs so please leave a comment if you have personal experience on this issue.
Checking Account with no ATM Fees for One Year
Bank of the West's free checking account qualifies for the bonus. In addition, they have a new checking account called Choice ATM checking which offers one year of free ATM use within the USA. This allows you to withdraw cash from any financial institution's ATM free of charge for one year. Surcharges assessed by other banks will be automatically refunded. One thing to note about this Choice ATM Checking is that you have to worry about a $10 monthly fee unless you meet certain balance or activity requirements. Also, Choice ATM checking is only offered in the following states: CA, CO, MN, NV, OK and OR.
Online Savings Account
Bank of the West continues to offer an online savings account with a competitive yield. It has gone down from 1.50% APY in January to 1.25% APY as of today (3/10/10). Unfortunately, 1.25% APY is a decent savings account rate these days. This rate requires a $10,000 minimum balance. The low tier rate has also gone down by 0.25%. It's now 0.25% APY for balances under $10,000. In August I was told by the CSR that there's a $2/month fee if the balance falls below $300. Another downside is that their ACH bank-to-bank transfer service has a transfer limit of $2,000 per day.
Bank Overview
Branches are located throughout the Western and Midwestern states including Oklahoma, Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, Wyoming, Washington, Oregon and California.
Bank of the West is one of the large regional banks with $60 billion in assets and $40.2 billion in deposits. Its ratings for safety and soundness are a little weak: 3 stars (adequate) at BauerFinancial (based on 12/31/09 data) and 1 star (lowest) at Bankrate.com (based on 9/30/09 data). The bank has been a FDIC member since 1934 (FDIC Certificate # 3514).

They include some of the longest-established fields of human academic endeavour, such as history, law and music. Research in some disciplines, such as law and architecture, provides a continually-updated knowledge base for the professions. Others such as history and archaeology ask questions about the development of our societies while others again, including journalism and political studies, look at pressing contemporary issues.

A Henderson woman is behind bars Monday night for the fourth time in 11 days.
Two of those arrests came after police say 57-year-old Linda Meredith stole hundreds of dollars worth of items from two Evansville hotels.
Evansville police first alerted 14 News about Linda Meredith last week after she was arrested at the Casino Aztar Hotel. Then, another arrest over the weekend at a different hotel.
But what police say and what Meredith tells 14 News are two very different stories.
Monday morning from the Henderson County Detention Center, Meredith answered questions about her recent arrests at Evansville hotels.
First at Casino Aztar last Thursday.
"Well, I went down there to play, which I lost, of course. Then I stopped by and got some souvenirs to take to Oklahoma with me, and then the police came to my room and said I stole 'em," Meredith said.
Meredith said she bought two T-shirts for a total of $40 and showed her receipt to police.
Authorities on the other hand say she stole $1,200 worth of items from the hotel gift shop and used a Visa gift card with a balance of just five cents to charge items to her room.
Then on Saturday, the 57-year-old was arrested once again, this time at the Clarion Inn on Highway 41.
Authorities claim she stole almost $1,000 worth of merchandise from the room, some plates and silverware
"How would I get some plates? No. I never even went in there. I didn't even go in the room," Meredith said.
According to police, among the missing items from Meredith's room- all of the towels and wash cloths, a coffee maker, and the ice bucket. Candles, glasses, coffee mugs, and even the soap dish.
When asked if Meredith has a problem with stealing, she said, "No. I've never stole nothing in my life. Never."
14 News asked her, why would the police make all that up, and she said, "I don't know, unless they looking for somebody else."
Police, however, seem confident they've got the right woman.
The Director of Operations at the Clarion Inn credits staff for noticing the missing items.
Though both hotel-related arrests happened in Evansville, Meredith was in the Henderson Jail for criminal trespassing. She was arrested in Henderson County on Sunday.
Authorities there say Meredith was in jail again about 11 days ago as well for shoplifting at a local convenience store and for writing bad checks.

Trustees and "Artsci"s
I suspect I'm coming late to the conversation, but I am more than a little uneasy about the proposal to change the composition of the Board of Trustees so that there will no longer be any members elected by the graduates of Queen's. Surely of all the constituencies that might be involved, the alumni are the ones with the most important claim to a role in directing the University's future. No doubt this point has been considered, but I have not seen the explanations and assurances that I would like to see accompany such a dramatic change.
On a more minor note, in the Fall issue of the Review are a couple of references to a couple of alumni as being members of "Artsci'66" and "Artsci'68". Up to the early 1970s, Class years in the Faculty of Arts and Science were simply "Arts". The term "Artsci" was introduced just before Orientation Week in 1970, when somebody invented the new word. It was endorsed by the leadership of the Arts and Science Undergraduate Society and its Orientation committee, and it was adopted for the arriving class, Artsci'74, and subsequent years.
I seem to remember a meeting of Orientation group leaders (were they Vigs or Gaels that year?) in Auditorium D at Stirling Hall, probably the day before the frosh arrived, at which the new label was hurriedly explained.
Chris Redmond, Arts'71
Waterloo, Ontario
University Secretary Georgina Moore replies: "Queen's alumni will still play an important role in shaping the University's future. Trustees will no longer be elected in the Graduate and Benefactor categories; however, Queen's graduates--elected University Councillors--will continue to elect six trustees to the Board. So, at least six of 25 will be graduates and most likely a good number of the 10 trustees elected by the Board will also be graduates, as well as the ex-officio members (current Principal and Chancellor are Artsci'80 and Arts '65) and possibly the staff and the faculty.
"A Queen's education prepares the types of leaders and citizens that any institution would be proud to recruit to its Board. The graphic below illustrates at a glance the changes that are under way.
Board of Trustees
Elected/Appointed By Now Future
Ex officio 3 3
The Board 15 10
The Graduates 6 0

• To avoid air locks and sudden spills, be sure your boat is level when refueling. Put passengers ashore or level your trailer if refueling at a service station.
• Be sure you have a fire extinguisher within reach when filling up. Extinguish cigarettes and any other smoking materials or flame. Turn off engines, all electrical equipment, including radios, stoves, and other appliances. And never use a cell phone when fueling. Static electricity can create a spark. Turn cell phones completely off.
• Do not rely on hands-free or automatic shut-off features. Attend the nozzle at all times, and never fill your fuel tank to the top. Fuel will expand as it warms up, especially in warm weather, so be sure to allow room in your tanks for this expansion to avoid leaking fuel into the water. Let's keep our marine environment clean.
• If you have a metal fuel tank, maintain nozzle contact with the fill pipe to prevent static spark and spills. Hold an absorbent sheet under the nozzle to catch any drips, and be sure to wipe up any spillage that should occur. After fueling, be sure to secure the filler cap to prevent fuel from leaking or water from entering the tank.
• Before starting the engine, run the blower for at least four minutes and check the bilge for any fuel vapors. Open all ports, hatches, and doors to ventilate. Do the "sniff" test. Make sure there is no gasoline odor anywhere on the boat. If there is, don't start the engine. Instead, continue ventilating and checking for possible leaks.
Fuel Efficiently
How well you maintain and operate your vessel can have a huge impact on fuel economy. To make the most of what's in your tank, consider these tips:
• Chart your trip to reduce unnecessary run time. Use the tides and wind to your advantage. Boating against the tides and wind takes more horsepower and fuel.
• Be sure to keep your load light and well-balanced to reduce the horsepower required to propel it through the water. Travel at steady, moderate speeds to reduce fuel consumption.
• Keep your boat well maintained: Be sure your engine is tuned. Clean spark plugs and proper timing will improve mileage. Keep your hull clean. Perform regular hull maintenance to prevent hard marine growth that creates a rough hull and adds to underwater drag. Check your propeller. Are the blades clean and in good condition? A damaged propeller provides inefficient propulsion and burns extra fuel.
• Prevent stale gas by running the tank to empty before any long periods of inactivity, and always store portable fuel tanks in a cool dry place to minimize condensation.

The U.S. Coast Guard is asking all boat owners and operators to help reduce fatalities, injuries, property damage, and associated healthcare costs related to recreational boating accidents by taking personal responsibility for their own safety and the safety of their passengers. Essential steps include: wearing a life jacket at all times and requiring passengers to do the same; never boating under the influence (BUI); successfully completing a boating safety course; and getting a Vessel Safety Check (VSC) annually from local U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, United States Power Squadrons(r), or your state boating agency's Vessel Examiners. The U.S. Coast Guard reminds all boaters to "Boat Responsibly!" For more tips on boating safety, visit www.uscgboating.org.

Discarded factory chemicals kill three in east China
September 21, 2009
The Associated Press reports that three people have died and seventeen others required medical treatment after they were exposed to bags of a toxic chemical illegally dumped by a factory in eastern China, the local government said. Four of the people sickened were children who played near the chemical, 2,4-dinitrophenol — a poison used in scientific research and in manufacturing various chemicals, explosives and pesticides, according to a statement by the government in Dongyang, a city 250 kilometers southwest of Shanghai. The case is typical of many in China, where local enforcement of safety standards remains lax despite repeated pledges by the central government to ensure better controls. Investigators were holding four people alleged to be responsible for the poisonings, and city officials pledged to tighten waste disposal controls. A preliminary probe found that chemicals were dumped into plastic bags by a local chemicals factory and illegally passed on to a garbage collector, who then sold the bags to another waste collector. The three people killed were all transporting the bags when they fell ill, the government statement said. It was unclear why the waste collectors bought the chemicals or if they knew what was in the bags. But migrants scraping out a livelihood by selling waste to the country''s thriving recycling industry scrounge for whatever they can find, without any protective gear or other safety precautions. Control of hazardous chemicals is a chronic problem in China, where workshops and factories have sprung up all over the countryside. Decades of industrialization have left many areas polluted with chemicals and heavy metals dumped by factories that dumped waste and effluent with impunity. Officials face growing public anger over safety scandals in which children have often suffered most, such as the recent discovery of clusters of severe lead poisoning involving hundreds of children.

Police in one New Jersey city are warning about a rise in catalytic converter thefts in vehicles at train stations, schools and other areas.
In the past week, there were two daylight thefts of catalytic converters from vehicles, one which was parked at the Linden train station and one which was parked at a private company on the 1900 block of Lower Road.
Linden police say this was in addition to 16 converters, taken from trucks parked at the Linden U-Haul, 1440 E. Edgar Rd. and two, which were taken from vehicles in the parking lots of McManus Middle School and Linden High School.
The thieves are targeting larger vehicles, especially SUVs like the Jeep Cherokee. Police say that's because the converters are larger and contain more platinum, which is currently valued on the open market at approximately $1,500 per ounce. They are also easier to crawl under to get to the converters.
The crooks are using small battery-powered saws and can cut the converter off in a matter of minutes.
Police say that scrap yards will pay up to $100 for a cut-off converter, but the victim could spend $1,000 to replace it.
Many victims don't even realize that they've been victimized until they start their car, and hear a roar coming from under of the vehicle.
Police say that there is not much that can be done for prevention, but it is recommended that drivers park in a lot with video surveillance cameras which may act as a deterrent.

Donald Brown, Ed.D. - This presentation will focus on strategies that were conceptualized, developed and imple-mented to assist low-income AHANA students who possessed high level of motivation to persist and graduate from one of the nations premier institutions, Boston College. Para-mount among those strategies were engendering collaborative relationships with diverse sectors of the University, creating a welcoming environment, developing a summer bridge program, and providing a comprehensive academic support program which pays attention to the academic, social, cultural, and spiritual needs of AHANA students. This interactive presentation should be of special interest to students, faculty, staff and administrators.
Light lunch will be served.
