The Desert Eco-Partnership
GEF-World Bank Desert Eco-Partnership Highlighted at Fourth Islamic Conference of Environment Ministers
Middle East and North African environment ministers recently endorsed a new and innovative partnership between the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and the World Bank Group. High-level officials predicted that the initiative will strengthen biodiversity and harness the value of desert ecosystem services and goods in order to improve daily standards of living for millions in the region.
Meeting in Tunis for the 4th Islamic Conference of Environment Ministers on October 5-6, more than 50 government leaders representing a consortium of Middle East and North Africa countries from the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) encouraged the Islamic Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization known as ISESCO to support the GEF-WB program as a way to enhance desert production systems in the region. GEF will provide catalytic funding for the "DELP" program (Desert Ecosystem and Livelihoods Program) implemented by the World Bank Group's Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
Under MENA-DELP, client countries will have a leadership role, giving them new tools to harness the power of the desert in a way that both generates jobs and protects the environment.
At the conference, the GEF and World Bank officials highlighted a number of opportunities that could bolster value for the Sahara and Arabian deserts including but not limited to: ecotourism, oasis agriculture, wind and solar power, genetic diversity, traditional land uses, water management systems, grazing, medicinal and aromatic plant promotion, dust storm prevention and agricultural heritage systems.
In order to encourage sustainable practices the DELP will use a multi-pronged approach that mixes targeted investments with programmatic monitoring, outreach and knowledge sharing to build measureable results. To that end participating countries will work in tandem with other stakeholders such as civil society and the private sector to help build a knowledge base and leverage investments for maximum impact.

I'm back, I apologize for taking a while to get this post published. I've been profoundly occupied with school work this week, unfortunately. However, I'm thrilled to talk about this year's group of running backs and fullbacks. Florida's only significant departure from this year's group is Mike Gillislee. Gillislee became the first Florida running back since 2004 (Ciatrick Fason) to have ran over 1000 yards (finish with 1152 rushing yards). I knew Gillislee would accomplish this feat when I was a 13 year old that's why I had him as my user name ("Gillislee23"), it was just a matter of when. Gillislee is projected to be a 3rd-5th round draft pick in this year's NFL Draft (ranked #6 RB via ESPN). However, this particular departure doesn't mean we don't have something to anticipate for going into this year.
We also lost Omarius Hines and Chris Johnson as well. Omarius Hines graduated with an anthropology degree. Although his NFL future is somewhat unlikely, he should still be remembered as a true Florida Gator. He's been with the program for five years, and his playing time was pretty marginal for most of his career due to his lack of ability to find his permanent position. The fact that he never quit nor transfer to another program for playing time will always be appreciated by me and my peers. I began rooting for him to get more playing time as I did for Gillislee, because he earned it and made plays. Omarius Hines will be solely missed for his efforts.
As for Chris Johnson, he transferred from Florida after two years. He was a three-star prospect from Trinity Catholic High School in Ocala, FL. This guy was in a similar situation as Omarius Hines, but worse. This kid is too slow to play safety (the position he started out as), and too small to play linebacker, so that left him one position for his frame. That position is running back, but he couldn't bypass the 4th spot on the depth chart. So he made the wise decision to transfer to a program where he can make an impact, because he's still a good athlete with potential.
We return Matt Jones, Mack Brown, Trey Burton, and Hunter Joyer to the backfield for this year. We also add a superb running back in Kelvin Taylor and an underrated back in Adam Lane. I expect a competition in the spring or in fall camp for every spot on the depth chart for the running backs. As for the fullbacks, everything should be the same as last year. I expect Trey Burton to change positions before the season starts.
I predict that Matt Jones will take over as the starting running back of the Florida Gators. Jones is now a sophomore, who struggled in the beginning of his freshman year, but steadily improved late in the season. Jones is a massive 6'2 and 230lbs running back, who could also run a 4.5 in the 40yd dash. So not only does Jones have power, but he also has an exceptional speed burst and lateral quickness. In my opinion, I believe Matt will eventually surpass the legacy of any running back that has ever played for Florida in the 21st century thus far (remember I said 21st century). He has all the talent to do so it's just a matter of his maturity and the talent around him. He already has one of the best fullbacks in the nation in Hunter Joyer. The offensive line was pretty mediocre last year, but I believe we've gotten rid of all the weak spread lineman that Meyer recruited. So we should be better this year on the line of scrimmage, now Matt Jones has to take advantage of it. He reminds me much of a Stephen Jackson of the St.Louis Rams.
As for Mack Brown, I have serious questions about this guy. He has been in this program for three years now, yet he still hasn't met the expectations coming out of Martin Luther King High School in Lithonia, GA. Mack Brown is now a redshirt junior, during his three previous years he had never ran over 40yds in a game. Now he's in serious trouble, because he got beat by Matt Jones for the 2nd spot last year, this time he has to hold off a more talented running back in Kelvin Taylor. Mack Brown needs to either do everything he can to outwork the freshman or transfer to another program. Due to his lack of consistency in practice (according to Coach Muschamp) and in games, I see Kelvin Taylor taking the 2nd spot in the depth chart.
The fullback trio of Trey Burton and Hunter Joyer may not last long. Trey Burton may be making a switch to wide receiver, if the freshmans don't pan out their first year. Hunter Joyer in my opinion is arguably the 2nd best fullback in the nation (behind Trey Millard of Oklahoma), so why not make him the permanent fullback ? I understand Trey Burton plays a countless number of positions, but he's also taking reps from Joyer as a fullback. I would consider Trey at tight end if anything, due to the fact they have no proven players at tight end. I expect another great season from Hunter Joyer as he takes over as the permanent fullback.
Now as for the newcomers, or freshmans. Kelvin Taylor is a prestigious running back out of Belle Glades, FL. Kelvin is the son of the former great, Fred Taylor, who went on to be the State of Florida's leading rusher in history. Kelvin doesn't inherit great break away speed, only running a 4.63 in the 40yd dash in high school. However, he does inherits phenomenal lateral quickness which allows him to be very elusive in open space. He also possesses the ability to read a hole or open gap pretty expeditiously, which allows him to gain more yards expected. He may be the quickest on the team when it comes to reading a hole, which why I compared him to Mark Ingram. Both guys are small and built, lacking great burner speed, but both excellent at reading a hole and have exceptional lateral quickness. Kelvin also possesses the power to break arm tackles and run it right through you. He has great hands as well and a pretty good blocker as well. His only weakness is his speed burst, which is why he's been rated the #1 running back by ESPN. These are his highlights http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYpYkJaxgdI
As for Adam Lane, he's an underrated running back from Winter Haven High School in Winter Haven, FL. This guy looks like a beast, I mean the dude is massive. He's 5'8 and 218lbs of full muscle. He only runs a 4.7 in the 40yd dash, but he can also run that speed in pads which is pretty fast. Don't take my word for it,just watch his highlights yourself (At the end of the paragraph) and you tell me. He tore his ACL during his junior year which slowed him down a bit, but he responded with a splendid senior season. He managed to play all 12 games in the season and ran for 1624yds and 12TDs in his senior season. Adam has excellent power and he has pretty good lateral quickness as well. His best asset would be his vision, he can read a hole almost as fast as Kelvin Taylor, but he can read his next tackler approaching faster than Kelvin can. Adam reminds me of a Ray Rice, stocky and small built, doesn't impress you with his measurables but gives you lots of production. I still question how good of a blocker Adam Lane is, but I'm sure that will improve once he gets coached up by our staff. These are his highlights http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbBKufwSL_4
For some reason the site won't let me link the highlights so just copy and paste it to a new tab to watch.
My Running Back Depth Chart Projections
1. Matt Jones
2. Kelvin Taylor
3. Adam Lane
4. Mack Brown
My Fullback Depth Chart Projections
1. Hunter Joyer
2. Trey Burton
My Season Projections
Matt Jones: 12GP, 12GS, 268 carries, 1718 rushing yards, 6.4 ypc, 21 TDs, 3 fumbles, 143.16 ypg, 14 catches, 153 receiving yds, 10.92 ypc 1 TDs, 5 drops.
Kelvin Taylor: 11GP, 0GS, 152 carries, 678 rushing yards, 4.46 ypc, 10 TDs 1 fumble, 61.63 ypg, 25 catches, 284 receiving yds, 11.36 ypc, 3 TDs, 2 drops.
Adam Lane: 8GP, 0GP, 34 carries, 217 rushing yards, 6.38 ypc, 1 TDs, 1 fumble, 27.1 ypg, 1 catch, 2 receiving yards, 2.0 ypc, 0 TDs, 0 drops.
Mack Brown: 9GP, 0GS, 21 carries, 97 rushing yards, 4.62 ypc, 0 TDs, 2 fumbles, 15.8 ypg, 0 catches, 0 receiving yards, 0.0 ypc, 0 TDs, 1 drop.
Hunter Joyer: 12GP, 12GS, 8 carries, 15 rushing yards, 1.88 ypc, 1 TDs, 0 fumbles, 1.25 ypg, 4 catches, 21 receiving yards, 5.25 ypc, 0 TDs, 2 drops.
Trey Burton: 12GP, 0GS, 32 carries, 236 rushing yards, 7.38 ypc, 4 TDs, 1 fumble, 19.67 ypg, 31 catches, 423 receiving yards, 13.65 ypc, 5 TDs, 3 drops.
Look I know the numbers look ridiculous and I know it seems impossible. How do I know you guys will say this? Because I said as a 13 year old in 2009 that Mike Gillislee was the best running back on the team and the only one on that team who had a chance to touch a 1000 yards. When I said that, everyone laughed at me and said "that's a typical comment for a 13 year old". I don't sound so dumb now do I ? Most Gator fans were surprised of how well Gillislee played last season. I wasn't, I expected this for the past 4 years, but Chris Rainey and Jeff Demps got in the way of that. I also predicted a 10-2 regular season, we went 11-1 when most fans wanted to play it safe and predict an 8-4 or 9-3 season. I don't just go by the skills of the players, I also look at who we play and schemes of the opposing team, there are numerous amount of reasons for why I predict these numbers. So let's not be so quick to judge, let's just see what happens first. Thank you for reading, I'll try to get the post on the wide receivers & tight ends as soon as I can. Remember you can follow me on twitter, @QUAY4MVP, I will follow back.

Telfair County -- The peace from the Ocmulgee River at Boney Ferry Landing has been long awaited by search crews that were tied to this bank for weeks.
"D.N.R., the sheriff's office in Telfair County, my department and other rescue agencies from surrounding counties; we have maintained a vigil for 14 days. And we are just glad we found him when we did and are just glad to bring it to a close," said Ben Hill County Sheriff, Bobby McLamore.
Sheriff McLamore discovered Thomas Spell's body about a half mile away from where about two-weeks ago the submerged vehicle he was believed to be in was found.
"On the way back up, I noticed a camouflage jacket over next to a limb. We pulled over to where it was, and it was Thomas Spell's," said McLamore.
Many believed this discovery would never happen. "Speculations have been mostly just rumors. And of course we checked out as many as we could," said McLamore.
And the condition of Thomas Spell's body also dispel any theories of foul play. "We didn't see anything to indicate it was anything other than an accidental drowning. The body has been taken to a crime lab. So a medical examiner could do an autopsy," said McLamore.
"It's an unfortunate accident. Our hearts and our prayers go out to the family. And we are just glad that we could bring closure to this event."
And now the Spell family can begin to take the steps to properly grieve instead of wonder about the loss of their family member.
It was Ben Hill Sheriff Bobby McLemore and C.ID Investigator Captain Jacob Longoria who found Thomas Spell's body at about 10:00 AM morning.

With 11 of the 12 Chase spots all but locked up, the attention over the next two weeks will be heavily focused on which NASCAR driver can claim the final wild card spot. The leading contenders to do so are (in no particular order): Kyle Busch, Jeff Gordon, Ryan Newman and Carl Edwards.
But the battle for that 12th and final wild card isn't exclusive to the above four drivers, as there is time for another driver to unexpectedly rise up and stake his claim – though it would certainly stun just about everyone.
So bear with us for a moment while we discuss three highly unlikely – but possible – scenarios that could unfold over the next two weeks.
1. A Richard Petty Motorsports surprise (and not who you think)
With a win at Watkins Glen, Marcos Ambrose could win at either Atlanta or Richmond and race his way into the playoffs. Although Ambrose is still winless on an oval, this isn't as far-fetched as you would think, considering in the last three races he has finished no worse than fifth.
But what if Ambrose's teammate, Aric Almirola, improbably pulled off the Atlanta-Richmond sweep? Would that not leave everyone with their jaws hanging in disbelief? Especially considering Almirola is still winless and has just one top-five in 59 career Cup starts; not to mention 22nd in the standings, 20 points behind 20th-place Jeff Burton.
If this were to actually happen, Almirola would be the most improbable driver to ever qualify for the Chase.
2. Richard Childress Racing gets two cars in the Chase
With not a single victory between its three cars – and Kevin Harvick barely clinging to a spot in the Chase – it's safe to say that Richard Childress Racing has failed to meet expectations this season. But despite a sub-par 2012, RCR still has a shot at placing two cars in the Chase if the near-impossible happens – either Paul Menard or Jeff Burton win out.
This would be a tall task, considering Menard has yet to finish in the top five this season and Burton hasn't won a race since Obama took office. But all that aside, can you image the amount of crow Menard's legion of critics would have to eat if he were to end up in the Chase?
3. A Ganassi resurrection
For the second consecutive year, Earnhardt Ganassi Racing has been mostly uncompetitive. But lest we forget, Jamie McMurray (19th in points) has made a career out of pulling out surprise victories (remember the Daytona 500 and Brickyard 400?) and Juan Pablo Montoya (21st) can still turn a wheel with the best of them (although he's been more of a battering ram than a frontrunner in 2012 and has never won a NASCAR race on an oval).
If either of these two can go and win at Atlanta and then do the same at Richmond, it would turn EGR from disappointment to championship contender – something no one saw coming.

A 6-year-old Lakeland girl is recovering at Tampa General Hospital following an attack by two pit bulls that left her with several severe wounds.
The victim, Alycia Battles, spoke to FOX 13 News from her hospital bed about what happened.
"I was playing outside," Alycia said, her voice barely audible. "I was walking in the street and then they saw me."
The dogs, which belong to a neighbor, jumped over a fence and raced straight toward the little girl, who never could have expected what would happen next.
"I thought they were going to be nice but then they went towards me and they started biting me," she said. "I was saying, 'mommy, mommy,' but she was in the shower."
Others, including her 14-year-old cousin, Carmeshia Jones, heard the screams and ran over to help.
Jones, along with other family members and neighbors, pulled the dogs off of Alycia. Those quick reactions might be why she's still alive.
"I'm proud of myself. At least I tried my best to help her. Even if I got bit, oh well, as long as I helped her out, as long as she was okay," Jones said as she started to cry. "I was like, 'you're not going to die, I'm right there with you.'"
Alycia was flown to TGH with severe bites to her stomach, arm and legs.
Polk County Animal seized the dogs, named "Boss" and "Promise," and placed them in quarantine. Authorities said the owner did not want to turn the animals over to deputies.
Investigators said both dogs had each been responsible for a previous in-home bite.
A judge is expected to determine within three weeks whether the dogs will be euthanized.
In the meantime, Alycia's family members are just looking forward to their loved one's recovery.
"At least she'll be happy to be home with us again," Jones said.

Unique Vacation Ideas
Take the road less traveled, from volunteer vacations to family adventure tours.
Tour a Winery
Here's how to make the most of a visit:
Call ahead. Many vineyards have specific protocols about how and when you can visit.
Schedule your meals. Food in wine regions can be difficult to find. You don't want to pair your delicious Malbec with a stale gas-station sandwich.
Go beyond the vineyards you know. Why spend time tasting something you are already familiar with? Seek out a smaller, lesser-known vineyard.
Ask for the "cellar door" tasting. Winemakers (or other employees) will take you through the wines individually, often showing you the vineyards and giving you other VIP treatments.
Have an exit plan, be it a taxi or a car service. What's worse than downing wine with a bad sandwich? Having a Breathalyzer test for dessert.

Like the ancient Israelites, God's people today often receive the gift of salvation but remain enslaved to sin. The truth is, our behavior is merely a result of who or what we worship. Our gods influence our priorities, values, morality, choices, and ultimately our eternity.
Our upcoming sermon series, Ten Commandments: Set Free to Live Free, focuses on life under the protection, wisdom, and goodness of a Father who loves us. Each week the sermon will engage one of the commandments to see what it means for us today.
Pastor Mark will be kicking off the series this Sunday in Bellevue and Downtown Seattle. All our other churches will be finishing up Best Sermon Ever with Eric Mason this weekend and then jump into Ten Commandments on September 15. Don't forget to invite friend.

When it comes to rising gasoline prices, no one gets more giddy than Jenny Isaacs.
Forgive her for taking pleasure in the nation's motoring misery, but it's fueling her crusade to silence the engines driving the American public.
When it comes to rising gasoline prices, no one gets more giddy than Jenny Isaacs.
Forgive her for taking pleasure in the nation's motoring misery, but it's fueling her crusade to silence the engines driving the American public.
Isaacs wants to see more electric-powered vehicles on the road, so she's hoping gas prices, now well over $2 per gallon, may give drivers the nudge to go electric. She's not content to sit idle, though.
The 42-year-old Tinicum Township woman has recruited an electric vehicle expert from California to teach vocational-technical school instructors from the Philadelphia region how to turn gas-powered vehicles into cars that run on electricity. Those teachers could eventually pass their knowledge on to students.
Isaacs' goal is to increase the number of battery-operated vehicles on the road while reducing smog and fossil-fuel dependence and combating global warming.
"It seems to be only high gas prices that brings attention to alternative fuels," said Isaacs. "I believe what I'm doing is investing time and energy in spreading information. My work is going to spread out. But choices have to be made on a national level. I do see that leadership is taking place around these issues and gives us hope."
Teachers enrolled at the 10-day course beginning July 31 at North Montco Technical Career Center in Towamencin Township, Montgomery County, will convert her out-of-commission 1985 Volkswagen Vanagon into a road-going electric vehicle.
Bern Wagenseller, North Montco's vocational education supervisor, said six teachers have signed up for the program. He said students may have the opportunity to dismantle the Vanagon, do welding work and paint the vehicle once the conversion is complete. Students from the North Penn, Souderton, Wissahickon, Methacton and Perkiomen Valley school districts attend the school.
"This touches on so many of the concepts we're teaching," Wagenseller said. "We support anything that's good for the country and the planet."
There's something in the project for Isaacs, too. She'll be getting a new and improved vehicle.
Isaacs' new electric vehicle will be used as a showpiece for Bucks County Renewables, a nonprofit environmental group she formed last year with a mission of reducing America's dependence on fossil fuels.
Isaacs and her husband, Matt, already own an electric-powered 1991 Dodge Colt, but that vehicle can only make 20-mile round trips before it's time to recharge its batteries, a process that takes six hours. The couple has determined it costs about $1.50 in electricity for each charge.
They also own a Toyota Highlander hybrid, which runs on a combination of gas and electricity.
Isaacs, who plans to take the Vanagon to schools and community events, acknowledges the battle she faces in weaning America off its addiction to gasoline.
Electric cars have historically been used primarily for experimental purposes and by hobbyists.
The sale of hybrid vehicles, those that run on a combination of gas and electricity, more than doubled in in the U.S. in 2005, but they still represent little more than 1 percent of overall vehicle sales, according to an Associated Press report. In 2005, registrations for new hybrids rose by nearly 200,000. Five years earlier, fewer than 8,000 were sold.
Oliver Perry, president of the Eastern Electric Vehicle Club, which has about 100 members, mostly from the Philadelphia region, said a shift from gas to electric will occur only if the public demands electric vehicles and if the government offers subsidies and incentives.
He said he can't blame car manufacturers for not getting into the electric car business because those vehicles aren't economical yet and there hasn't been much of a market for them.
"Many [electric vehicle owners] are well-to-do," Perry said. "The person who has to balance their checkbook is going to go out and buy a good, economical [gas-powered] vehicle."
It takes hours to recharge batteries in electric vehicles and there aren't charging stations out on the road. Batteries must be replaced every three to five years. Some electric vehicles have as many as 24 batteries.
"You have to be willing to spend thousands and thousands of dollars on batteries," Perry said.
Isaacs and other environmentalists were encouraged by President Bush's recent call to reduce gasoline usage by 20 percent over the next 10 years and "press on with battery research." In his January State of the Union speech, Bush said he'd like to see the United States cut oil imports from the Middle East by 75 percent.
In Pennsylvania, a rebate program for people who buy hybrid electric vehicles -- those that incorporate both gasoline and electric power -- became so popular in its first year in 2005 that funding for the program was used up in less than 10 months.

Obama: Gaza war underscores need for immediate Mideast solution
President-elect tells ABC conflict requires third-party solution interested in 'fair and just outcome.'
President-elect Barack Obama said in remarks broadcast on Sunday that he would begin the search for Middle East peace immediately on becoming leader, adding that the Gaza conflict only underscored his determination to become involved early.
During his presidential campaign, Obama said both President George W. Bush and former President Bill Clinton waited too long to work vigorously to broker a peace between the Israelis and Palestinians.
On the ABC News show "This Week with George Stephanopoulos," Obama said it would be important to begin the effort early.
"The reason it's so important for the United States to be engaged and involved immediately, not waiting until the end of their term, is because working through the politics of this requires a third party that everybody has confidence [in], wants to see a fair and just outcome," he said.
Obama, who takes over from President George W. Bush on Jan. 20, has refused to make any lengthy comments on the violence in Gaza, where more than 800 Palestinians have been killed in the 16-day Israeli offensive to suppress rocket fire against its citizens by the militant group Hamas. Thirteen Israelis have been killed.
Obama said the deaths of civilians on both the Palestinian and Israeli side were "heartbreaking."
"And obviously what that does is it makes me much more determined to try to break a deadlock that has gone on for decades now," he said.
Obama also said he would take a new approach toward Iran that would both emphasize respect for its people and spell out expectations for its leaders.
"Iran is going to be one of our biggest challenges," Obama said during the ABC interview.
Obama said he was concerned about the Islamic republic's support of the Lebanese Shi'ite movement Hezbollah and about Iran's nuclear enrichment, which he said could trigger a Middle East arms race.
In a shift from President George W. Bush's policies, Obama has said he would seek much broader engagement with Iran.
"We are going to have to take a new approach. And I've outlined my belief that engagement is the place to start," he said.
Obama, who takes office as president on Jan. 20, said that approach would include "sending a signal that we respect the aspirations of the Iranian people but that we also have certain expectations in terms of how an international actor behaves.
"We are in preparations for that. We anticipate that we're going to have to move swiftly in that area," Obama said.
Washington accuses Tehran of seeking a nuclear weapon but Tehran insists its nuclear program is for the peaceful purpose of generating electricity.
Obama has said he was prepared to offer Iran economic incentives to stop its nuclear program but he also HAS said sanctions could be toughened if it refused.

Large black figures cast in steel loomed over the India Art Fair as it opened on Friday with the display of the eerie silhouettes seeking to highlight the country's millions of "missing" women.
The outdoor installation called M.I.S.S.I.N.G. by artist Leena Kejriwal is a visual response to alarming research showing a gaping gender gap in India, which has led to severe imbalances in some parts of the country.
Caused by sex-selective abortion, infanticide and the death of girls through neglect, the issue is part of a national debate about women's rights sparked by fresh scrutiny of sexual violence.
The three outsized sculptures are meant to be "like sharp, black holes cut out of the sky. Holes into which millions of girls disappear from the face of this earth", according to Kejriwal's description of the project. India's 2011 census data showed that just 914 girls are born nationwide per 1,000 boys – much behind the global benchmark of 952 – reflecting a cultural preference for male heirs. The India Art fair has been phenomenally successful since its first edition in 2008 and now draws leading local and international galleries and artists, as well as hundreds of thousands of members of the public.
This year organisers signalled their intent to tackle some of the issues thrown up by the sweeping changes underway in the world's biggest democracy, wrought by economic development and globalisation.

She lived an extraordinary life that was intertwined with the Black human rights struggle and the Black Power Movement.

I am recovering from a huge blow – my computer was taken along with other personal irreplaceable items. We stopped by Loon Point to visit the shore before driving back to the San Francisco Bay Area Jan. 30. It was early, we'd just finished our first session of the Winter Quarter. We left our luggage in view in our cohort's car. In Oakland, we'd not have done that, but somehow the seashore, mountains and quiet terrain deceptively seduced us.

There was an ocean of signs in a sea of banners of struggle and liberation in front of Anaheim's City Hall and the adjacent park on July 21, 2013. The signs held faces of those cut down in the prime of their lives in loving memory and detail. There were informational signs and signs with slogans of liberation, with demands, statements of fact and advice – such as "Fuck the system" and "FTP" ("Fuck the police").

The janazah was traditional and profound. The spiritual warmth could be felt flowing all through the hall in the stately Islamic Center in downtown Oakland, as over 300 people mourned, paid last respects, celebrated his life and gained inspiration during the service held Friday morning, May 17, in loving memory of Hajj Malcolm Latif El Shabazz. Though "Young Malcolm," as he was often recognized, in remembrance of his grandfather, El Hajj Malik El Shabazz (Malcolm X), was just coming into his own, he has made a profound and an indelible mark upon the world. In the finest traditions of the Shabazz family; by his life he will continue to inspire.

The Bay View was honored to sponsor him on speaking tours arranged by Bay View associate editor and the People's Minister of Information JR, his close comrade over the past several years.

El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz (Malcolm X), born 86 years ago on May 19, 1925, was loved by the oppressed and hated by the oppressors. Our "Black Shining Prince," in the words of Ossie Davis, aimed to "use whatever means necessary to bring about a society in which the 22 million Afro-Americans are recognized and respected as human beings." His influence is immeasurable – from music to foreign policy to religion. Today Islam, followed then by very few, is the second largest religion in the United States and Canada.

Four and half decades after El Hajj Malik El Shabazz (Malcolm X) made the Hajj to Mecca, his grandson, Malcolm Shabazz, made his pilgrimage. In this, the first interview to be published in the U.S. about his experience, Malcolm says, "Now, by the Will and Grace of Allah, I am a revolutionary Muslim who is in service to the people, especially to the masses of downtrodden and oppressed." Don't miss Malcolm's Report Back from Mecca, Tuesday, Dec. 28, 6:30 p.m., at Twin Space, 2111 Mission St., San Francisco.

We are not fooled by the corporate media hype that criminalizes our righteous struggle. We are not fooled by a prison industrial complexed court system acting to protect its own from criminal prosecution! Did not Malcolm X tell us that it would do no good to take the crimes of the criminal to the criminal's courts?

One thing I never get sick of is hearing about—and subsequently writing—negative Taylor Swift press. It really gets me going in a way that coffee just can't. It's a visceral 'zing!'; an instant high. And in this case? Well, this might last me for the rest of the day. Taylor Swift—the very precious, darling, innocent Taylor Swift—has been accused of ripping off lyrics from another artist. The songwriter in question is Matt Nathanson, and Taylor's never made it a secret that she really, really admires his work, but this time, she's admired it so hard that it somehow ended up verbatim in one of her songs.
Taylor's most recent single, 'All Too Well', has a lyric that states … well, this: "and I forget about you long enough to forget why I needed to." And Nathanson wrote a song back in 2003 called 'I Saw', and it has a lyric in it that says this: "and I'll forget about you long enough to forget why I need to." The only real difference, you see, is that Taylor went and changed the word "needed" to "need" and "I'll" to "I." Because that takes all copyright infringements away, right? Yeah, I guess she would think that.
It gets better, though—when Nathanson saw that Taylor had ripped one of his lyrics, he didn't just sit back and take the flattery: he took his gripe to Twitter, where followers of Taylor positively tried to eviscerate Matt, telling him he was a prick. This is what Matt had to say on Twitter that set Taylor's followers afire:
"She's definitely a fan… and now she's a thief."
Can I tell you how hard I love this? Reps for Taylor have yet to release a statement, but I hope to God that Matt Nathanson has the balls to go forward and file a lawsuit or a claim or something against this silly little ho, because really. STICK IT TO TAYLOR SWIFT.

I guess my deal here is who cares? It's not like the thought is all that deep. It's worth neither ripping off nor writing in the first place.
Case in point: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcSUWP0QNeY
I swear, this girl's got the most annoying fan base.
I studied music law. THIS is completely irrelevant unless either party pushes this to make some extra $$$. Just think 'Wave your hands like you just don't care' – how many people have you heard sing that? It's much more serious when it comes to the music itself.
How is the theft of a lyric irrelevant? Wouldn't most readers of this site be offended by the "evil rich person" profiting off of an idea stolen from a lesser-known artist? How about those who haven't been able to listen to the radio for a good decade or more, precisely because the ones getting all the airplay lack talent? Most importantly, how about the writer, who could be using the money made from a co-writing credit on Taylor's song to further his career, you think it's irrelevant to him? And what does it mean "much more serious when it comes to the music itself"? There is no such thing as a musically innovative country song, they get more simplistic and formulaic by the hour. In what universe would ANY popular country artist be sued for repeating the standard 1-4-5 chord progression that's been heard in every country song ever written? In conclusion, nothing you said is true, and you should feel bad.

Kellogg-Hubbard Library union alleges violationBy David Taube
STAFF WRITER | December 29,2012MONTPELIER The union for Kellogg-Hubbard Library has complained to the state Labor Relations Board and a third-party arbitrator that the library illegally shifted three employees out of the union as part of a change in job titles and duties.
The library has suggested there is no merit to the charge, which comes as the union is negotiating a new contract. In addition to the Labor Relations Board complaint, the union is trying to resolve through arbitration the issue of which employees belong to the union.
This is something that was supposed to be negotiated, said Kellogg-Hubbard staffer Ruth McCullough, a union member.
The librarys attorney, Richard Cassidy, said the union contract was not breached.
In November the library decided to shift certain employees outside the union, according to a letter filed with the Labor Relations Board that was written by Michael Blair, a representative for the Northeast council of the union, the American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees.
The new job titles and duties affected two librarians and one financial assistant position.
The library has argued the three supervisory positions are new midlevel management jobs outside the union and that the previous three positions have not been eliminated. Cassidy said the library made a hire for one of the positions, the financial assistant, last week.
Three members of the bargaining unit were invited to apply for these new jobs. They did so, and were promoted, said a five-page response from Cassidy to the labor complaint. The library did not add supervisory duties to the existing job descriptions. It created new management jobs.
Cassidy said he provided consultation to the library before it did the restructuring.
The unions two-year agreement runs until Monday. It initially covered 13 employees, but McCullough, the library staffer, said eight positions were in the union currently. That figure does not include the three positions that were recently made non-union, she said.
McCullough said the last time the union dealt with the Labor Relations Board was in 1994. In the spring, the union made concessions in hours to help the library, she said.
The disagreement comes as the library is seeking voter support on March ballots for additional funding from municipalities that support the nonprofit. Kellogg-Hubbard this year also dealt with the departures of its top two executives, Executive Director Daniel Pudvah and Library Director Robin Sales. A new director, Richard Bidnick, came on board in the summer.
The parties met this month with the Labor Relations Board. The union and management plan to meet again in early January. Often, however, disputes are resolved without participation by the Labor Relations Board, said Timothy Noonan, its executive director.
Resolution could also come via a new contract; if the library petitioned the labor board for a unit clarification, which could clear up whether the positions are within or outside the union; or through arbitration.
According to the response letter from Cassidy, who is representing the library on behalf of the Burlington law firm Hoff Curtis, P.C., filing for unit clarification was not mandatory and the librarys actions complied with labor law.
Also in November, the library announced higher late fees and shorter borrowing periods. Late fees for DVDs increased from 50 cents to $1 a day, and initial loan periods for childrens materials went from four weeks to two weeks. A one-day grace period will be eliminated April 1.
New books, however, can now be renewed. Also, exceptions can be granted for certain patrons unable to renew by phone or online.

It looks like Sal Palumbo has a success on his hands.
Palumbo, restaurant staff and city officials officially snipped the ribbon at on Friday, celebrating the new establishment in South Peabody. , but Palumbo said Friday was an opportune time to invite friends and city officials back down to eat and celebrate.
He said a number of the guests had already been there several times since the restaurant opened nine weeks ago at 139 Lynnfield St. and residents in the neighborhood have quickly become regulars.
"It's working out well. I'm very happy with business," Palumbo said, adding that Thursday through Sunday evenings often see patrons waiting 30 minutes or more for a seat.
He believes the restaurant has had a "very positive impact" in the neighborhood and rounds out the dining options for those who live and work in the area, offering good food, prices, service and entertainment.
President Deanne Healey agrees.
"I think it's been a great addition," she said, noting that many of the eateries nearby offer take-out more so than sit-down dining with live entertainment.
Healey said the location works well both for residents and for those working in Centennial Industrial Park and serves as a local gathering place, rather than just a bar, as some residents feared when Palumbo first sought permits from the City Council for the tavern.
In addition to Mayor Ted Bettencourt and Healey on Friday, a small crowd of city officials and friends of Palumbo's showed up for the event.
Tom Muxie was also on hand. Muxie is a member of the city's Disability Commission and a volunteer for the state to help ensure newly constructed buildings in particular not just meet accessibilty requirements for disabled patrons, but that they make sense and serve the intended purpose.
Muxie said he's been canvassing newly constructed buildings with Building Commissioner Kevin Goggin and praised Palumbo for being very responsive to even minor issues Muxie brought up.
The restaurant has a full liquor license and brings in live jazz bands Thursday through Saturday. Two weeks ago, 28 seats were added out front for seating on an outdoor patio, and Palumbo says he's now in the permitting stage to put a 2,500-square-foot function room next to the main restaurant.
Both the restaurant and the entire plaza at Newhall Crossing have undoubtedly brought some new life to the neighborhood. Palumbo knocked down the old dilapidated Remis factory and built a new commercial plaza in its stead, and he says he's in the process of filling the remaining two vacant units.
"The tannery smelled so bad that I sprayed perfume bottles everywhere," Palumbo told Peabody Patch in an interview this spring. "It was an incredible disaster, and we demolished it."
The appearance of Newhall Crossing still hearkens back to Peabody's tanneries of old, and more specifically the Remis plant, with its brick facade.
"We've turned something that was an eyesore into something very beautiful," said Palumbo on Friday.
He said a credit union for the United States Postal Service and a senior healthcare company are slated to move into the plaza, which already contains , the tavern, two salons, an insurance office, a mortgage company and a computer firm.

Under My Family on the menu I have set up individual pages for the various lines in my pedigree. The first piece of content on each page will define the start of the line and indicate how many generations I have traced back. In future updates I will add more factual information about the individuals in the pedigree lines and other branches. I made a start today on Carr, Webb, Henderson and Tait.
Tag Archives: Webb
What is on my home page?
I have used my home page to tell you why I decided to blog about my past and introduce you to my great grandparents' large family which gave me some interesting leads when I first started my research. I also include some navigational tips.
In the side panel you will find an RSS feed, a link to international genealogy blogs (Geneabloggers), monthly archives and a list of pages.
Top rated posts and most used tags which are shown at the bottom of the page are a bit thin at the moment as I only have two readers, but should become more useful as interst grows.
Approaching Christmas
Since creating this blog late October I have had very little time either to pursue my research or write blog articles. Yesterday I released the blog link to my brother and cousin to see if the structure makes sense before I add more content. Will try to add more in the Christmas hols and make a New Year resolution to make regular short updates. The family gathering at Christmas will give me an opportunity to dig further into the Webb and Henderson lines and tell my aunt more about her Thornton, Davis, Stavers and Corbett ancestors.
Creating my blog
Had a relaxing Sunday afternoon figuring out how to configure a blog with WordPress. Still have a lot to learn about how to make it easy to navigate. Decided on some basic elements and experimented with publishing text and photos and building a menu. Having realised that just giving access to the tree does not generate interest, I have given some thought to what my readers (if I should be so lucky as to have any) might want to know. Not going to spread the link to my family until I have added in some concrete info to key pages. My first attempt at posting a photo was the wedding photo for my parents George Crackett and Peggy Webb.
Digging up the ancients
Why I am blogging about the past
I dipped my toes into genealogy a few years ago with little success. Then a question from my Welsh cousin triggered my interest again earlier this year. Spent my Easter holidays squelching around damp chilly Northumbrian cemteries with my camera and playing with the microfilm readers at Woodhorn Archives. At the end of the week I was totally hooked.
Now find I need an effective method of sharing my finds with the rest of the clan without losing control of my mailbox. Have 6 months of intriguing research to structure and have not seriously blogged before, so bear with me as I try to figure out what to put where for maximum readability.
My main areas of research are the Crackett, Webb, Turner and Henderson families of Amble, Northumberland, but even after 6 months I have a long list of other surnames that appear in my pedigree.

March 28, 2003
Lee County-- South Georgia farmers are optimistic, as they dodge rain showers, tilling their fields and plant crops.
While spring showers have slowed their work, most farmers are glad to see them, hoping the years of drought are over.
Mike Bird is planting 16 acres of Snap Beans, trying to finish before forecast showers. "You hate to turn down a rain because we had so little in past years," Bird said. "But just a good little shower to put moisture back on top, and next week we'll be ready to go again."
But like most South Georgia farmers, Bird is glad for the winter and spring rain. "A week or ten days ago, it rained about everyday that week," said Bird. "We should have been planting corn that week. We had to just sit down and do nothing. We worked on all our equipment and it's ready to go."
Bird has been farming about 700 acres for 11 years. The drought conditions have made the last five tough. But Bird is optimistic this year will be better. "You have to be to do this. Every year is going to get a little bit better. You just make your best plans, do your calculations and your math. And try not to spend anymore money than you have to."
Running two tractors, one planting seed, the other spraying fungicide, the high price of diesel fuel is a big concern this planting season.
Bird hopes he won't have to run irrigation equipment all summer again. "Not only just from a financial standpoint. You stay up all night, and watch irrigation. It's very physically demanding."
"If we just keep getting those timely showers this summer, it'll make for a good season."
Bird will harvest his snap beans in 60 days. Most will be trucked to Canada for sale.

If I'm guessing right most people agree they should part ways with both. Not many people liked the C.Iz signing and his spring hasn't helped.
If memory serves last year Kennedy wasn't too hot(in S.T.) and they stuck it out with him as well.
We all know there are a ton of other options at 2b,Even before you explore outside options(see belly thread)
but what about SS. I haven't heard how Ryan has done in S.T. I don't see a deal where they could part with both.
If you cut A.K. youd have to play miles,ryan or hauff. Also haven't heard how Hauff is doing this spring, if he's unproven this seems unlikely. If you cut IZ2 then miles and ryan?
They could cut both keep ryan and miles for ss? and perhaps get belly?
They probably ride it out

Gary Root, East Naples man, accused of throwing pennies at Democrats, blaming Obama for high taxes
He said that's all he has left after being taxed
NAPLES — An East Naples man is accused of opening the door of the Democratic Party of Collier County office on Livingston Road and throwing pennies at workers.
Gary Root, 71, of the 1400 block of Tiffany Lane, East Naples, told Collier deputies he tossed in a penny as a contribution because that's "all he has left after being taxed by (President Barack) Obama," according to an arrest report.
Root faces a misdemeanor trespassing charge for the 6:45 p.m. Friday arrest. He already was given a trespass warning for the same location in May.

KISSIMMEE -- It was a defeat, yes, but after having forced the top-ranked team in the nation to a deciding fifth set, Ransom Everglades left Silver Spurs Arena justifiably proud.
Orlando's Bishop Moore, ranked No. 1 by MaxPreps and 10th by PrepVolleyball, defeated Ransom, 25-21, 20-25, 25-22, 22-25, 15-11, Friday night in a Class 4A state semifinal.
"I'm not going to lie," Ransom coach Roger Peluso said, "this hurts. But I think you all will agree that we put up a fight."
The Hornets (31-0) ended Ransom's 19-match win streak and will go for their first state title since 2000 on Saturday against Tampa's Berkeley Prep. It was Berkeley Prep that beat Bishop Moore in the 2011 state final.
Ransom finished its season at 28-3, but the Raiders – who made their first appearance at state since 1994 – earned respect.
"I would rate Ransom among the top four in the state (among all classes) with the way they performed," Bishop Moore coach Tanya Jarvis said.
"Their blocking was really good. They got touches on so many balls. They were able to transition their middles a lot more than we expected."
For perspective on how dominant Bishop Moore had been before Friday, consider that the Hornets did not lose a single set in three regional playoff matches. In fact, in their previous 25 matches, they had lost a total of just two sets.
But Ransom had 13 blocks to just 7 for Bishop Moore, a tribute to their superior middle blockers, Erika and Caroline Sklaver.
Bishop Moore won largely because of the efforts of three players, all of whom have committed to Division I colleges.
The best of the three was 6-2 senior outside hitter Lindsey Owens (Virginia Tech), who had a match-high 37 kills, including eight in the final set. She also showed her versatility with 20 digs.
Danielle Glinka, a 5-11 senior outside hitter who is going to Dartmouth, had 20 kills. Combined with Owens, they had 57 of the team's 62 kills.
The other member of the trio is 5-9 junior setter Allie Monserez (South Carolina), who had a match-high 57 assists.
Owens' hitting percentage was a match-best .366. Peluso tried to match his 5-11 setter on the block against Owens, but Jarvis moved her star around to avoid that strategy.
Kathryn Trinka led Ransom with 17 kills, including three in the final set. Jess Mandel added 13 kills, Colonna had 47 assists and Tere Bernace had a match-high 28 digs.
"We came in as underdogs, but we had a lot of confidence," Trinka said. "I don't think any of this thought for a second that we were going to lose."
Early on, it looked like it would be a rout by Bishop Moore, which led by eight points in the first set. But the Raiders rallied to within 22-20 before falling.
After splitting the next two sets, Ransom came back to win the fourth game. The Raiders led by as many as nine but squandered five set points before finally prevailing.
In the fifth set, Ransom just could not stop Owens.
Ransom will now graduate five seniors: Trinka, Mandel, Erika Sklaver, Nicole Cruz and Caitlin Rolle. But they return their setter (Colonna), their libero (Bernace), one of their big middles (Caroline Sklaver) and right-side hitter Lisette Tellez.
"I think we've created a volleyball culture at Ransom," Mandel said. "The word is getting out that we have a strong program. And even though we are losing five seniors, the volleyball program has nowhere to go but up."

A man who says the city of Austin unlawfully seized his home testified in court Tuesday.
According to the city, the tunnels that had been dug under Joe Del Rio's home posed a safety risk.
Joe Del Rio's attorneys argue that what has been called a bunker, was actually a cold-war era fallout shelter and that Del Rio was just trying to build a different entrance to it.
However, the city says what he was doing put himself and his neighbors in danger.
Video shot by the city of Austin shows a shirtless Joe Del Rio being handcuffed the day code compliance officers and police showed up at his home in east Austin.
"We're trying to let the jury know what happened to him on May 8, 2010," said Mack Ray Hernandez, Del Rio's attorney.
During opening statements for the trial to determine if the city lawfully seized Del Rio's property, his attorney told jurors that without any warning, at least 60 city employees descended on his street that day.
Del Rio, a 73-year-old veteran, testified that he was taken to a nearby school and interrogated for nearly 10 hours.
"He said he felt humiliated, embarrassed. He said he suffered a depression, that he was worried about his anxiety level and how it may affect his diabetic condition," said Hernandez.
Prior to that day, a neighbor complained to the city about the excavation work being done on Del Rio's property. A city code inspector came to the home and discovered what has been described a multi-level bunker. The city got a search warrant and a city attorney told jurors that since it wasn't known what the underground area was used for, APD's bomb squad, firefighters and EMS were all there when the property was searched. Handguns, rifles and inoperable grenades were taken from the home.
Del Rio was not charged with any crime. However, the city did board and secure his property, removed the utility meters and filled his underground shelter with concrete.
The city says Del Rio never had the permits to do any excavation work and that it was making his house and the ground around it unstable. Del Rio's attorneys argue that he was just trying to get access to a cold-war era fallout shelter under his home.
"It had a concrete slab, it had cinderblock walls and the bottom of the house formed the top of the fallout shelter," said Hernandez.
Del Rio testified that when his fallout shelter was built, the government was encouraging people to build such shelters in case of a nuclear attack. In fact at one point there was a fallout shelter in the very courthouse where this trial is taking place.
It's the additional excavation work done by Del Rio that the city says posed a safety risk, giving them the right to seize Del Rio's home. He's hoping to convince jurors that the way the city went about it was all wrong.
This afternoon, an engineer that Del Rio had hired, testified that that he thought the underground shelter and the house were structurally sound.
Del Rio has since found another home. His attorneys say he has been fined close to $90,000.
Del Rio got the keys back to his house, but attorneys say it would require a lot of work to set up utilities and get the home up to code.
The trial is expected to last through the week.
