Yes, nearly everyone here at AP can at times be name-called for their red and gold blinders shining beautifully through the computer screen like a 1080p picture, painted clearly and sometimes so damn convincing it looks real - it looks like "Go Chiefs! Chiefs are the best in the world!" is just popping right off this website like spam. Windows says...
Are you sure you want to allow these homers to access your brain? And you choose: allow or don't allow.
This isn't really a homer post. It's more like virtually testing out an operating system before welcoming or stamping it to your hard drive. It's like exploring into Linux and having fun with it, then abruptly moving back to Windows when you come to the realization that it's too tough to deal with (it's really not, I'm typing this out on Ubuntu) and disappointing when your driver support is lacking. In actuality the support here at AP for homers is decent. The borderline indecent ones are just smartypantses.
What is it we are testing? Not Operating systems, but System Operators. You see what I did there? I've been thinking about what it would take for our team to level up a couple notches and I came up with this. All for fun, by the way.
Excluding these seven guys (These guys are already expected to play at a high level):
Matt Cassel, Eric Berry, Tamba Hali, Brandon Flowers, Derrick Johnson, Dwayne Bowe, and Jamaal Charles
Pick three guys that you would choose to play Top 5 (in the league) at their position this season. This Tri-X-Factor will allow our Chiefs to win a lot in 2011.
Here's mine: Tony Moeaki, Justin Houston, Kelly Gregg
Our wide-out core seems to be very solid. If Cassel takes another step up in just his 4th season as a starting QB (including college, dis-cluding HS) the WR's will be above average at worst. Which is a good feeling. Let's not forget about Tony2. A Top 5 performance at the TE position would make this offense unstoppable imo.
It's no secret that our 3rd round pick is behind being behind being a rookie entering the lockout and now missing a hand full of practices. And yes, I said "behind being behind being a rookie", I think it makes sense? But, if Justin Houston would explode like an egg in a microwave to a Top 5 caliber pass rusher our defense would be real, real tough.
I'm beginning to think that NT is a more important position than the QB to a team that runs a 34. Does Kelly Gregg have what it takes to be Top 5 at his position in the league? Well, if he did our defense would become the kind of defense that can stop teams like NE, GB, and IND. If there's really such a thing. :)
Who do you want our system operating tri-x-factorers to be?

News Shopper calls for resignation of South London Healthcare Trust bosses
10:00am Friday 21st January 2011 in Bexley
This is Chris Streather, chief executive of the South London Healthcare Trust.
The trust's changes to healthcare in south London have left Bexley as the only London borough without an A&E and Queen Elizabeth Hospital's A&E department in Woolwich in turmoil.
The trust has now been battered by the Care Quality Commission, whose inspectors uncovered a chilling catalogue of errors ranging from confidential patient records left lying on trolleys to medicines stored in unlocked cupboards.
Staff morale is on the floor.
Is it time this man and his trust were sent packing?
We say yes.
AN independent care regulator has revealed its concerns about the quality and safety of healthcare being provided by the South London Healthcare Trust.
In some cases the trust is in breach of its legal responsibilities.
Following unannounced visits last September, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) has given the trust until Friday (January 21) to produce an action plan to address the shortcomings.
The CQC has threatened enforcement action if the required improvements have not been made.
Its September visits were to Queen Mary's Hospital, Sidcup, Princess Royal Hospital in Farnborough, Woolwich's Queen Elizabeth Hospital and the Beckenham Beacon outpatient hospital.
The CQC says it identified breaches in regulations covering staffing levels, standards of care, management of medicines, systems meant to assess care standards, safeguarding and record keeping.
However trust chief executive, Dr Chris Streather, welcomed the reports saying: "We know there are still improvements we have to make."
He claimed: "In our first 20 months we have made some notable improvements," citing improved stroke care and lower infection and mortality rates.
He added: "Overall, we are pleased the CQC found patients were happy with the care they are receiving, and our staff are professional and caring."
Dr Streather said where the CQC had required improvements, the trust had taken steps to put them right.
He added: "Our priorities for this year will be to continue the steady progress we have already made, ensure the procedures pointed out by the CQC are put right, and develop our relationship with local GPs who, as the first port of call for most of our patients, will help us become a first class hospital."
AMONG the concerns raised by the Care Quality Commission were:
Staff and patients at Queen Mary's and the Queen Elizabeth spoke to CQC inspectors about their concerns at the shortage of clinical and support staff.
Staff also spoke about low morale and their feeling they were "invisible" to trust bosses who did not listen to their opinions.
The CQC was also concerned about the high number of staff without Criminal Records Bureau checks and the lack of support for career progression.
Inspectors were worried about the security and accuracy of patient records and reported finding them lying on open desks or unlocked trolleys.
There were also gaps and inaccuracies in the records which were bulky, disorganised and could sometimes not be found when needed.
The CQC found medicines stored in unlocked cupboards at the Princess Royal and Queen Elizabeth and there were gaps, omissions and inconsistences across all the hospitals in the records of patient medication.
There was also a lack of information for patients about medicines prescribed while in hospital and about those provided on discharge.
Inspectors found there were problems at Queen Mary's with making sure patients were encouraged to eat and given help if they needed it. A system of serving food on red trays to identify those who needed help was not working properly.
Full details of the three reports are available at http://caredirectory.cqc.org.uk/caredirectory/searchthecaredirectory.cfm?cit_id=RYQ&widCall1=customWidgets.content_view_1&element=
MP James Brokenshire has written to Health Secretary Andrew Lansley in the wake of the Care Quality Commission (CQC) findings, urging him to consider removing South London Healthcare Trust (SLHT) from running the Bromley, Bexley and Greenwich hospitals.
The MP for Old Bexley and Sidcup says the creation of the trust in April 2009 was "an experiment which failed" and it was now time to go in a different direction.
Mr Brokenshire said there had been a reasonable argument when the trust was created, it would create economies of scale and drive up quality of care.
He added: "But that has not been the reality."
Mr Brokenshire said he did not believe SLHT and the A Picture of Health (APOH) proposals were the answer to the area's healthcare problems He has suggested to Mr Lansley the three hospitals should be absorbed into one or more of the trusts running London's teaching hospitals, such as King's College or Guy's and St Thomas's.
Mr Lansley is currently considering the future of the APOH proposals.
Bexleyheath and Crayford MP David Evennett said: "I was very concerned about the problems highlighted by the investigations, particularly with regards to medicines, care, safeguarding and welfare of patients, record-keeping and staff morale.
"As SLHT has existed as an organisation for nearly two years, I am surprised many of these had not been addressed before."
Councillor Ross Downing who chairs Bexley Council's health scrutiny committee said: "It is clear residents across the borough are experiencing poor levels of care and while, staff are doing their best, there are just not enough to cope.
"The inspectors found staff working unacceptably long hours, and essential care such as adequate safety for the most vulnerable patients being compromised and this is just not good enough."
Helen Ellis, 52, from Plumstead Common, set up the Niekrash Law Group to protest against the trust's treatment of Dr Ramon Niekrash, a consultant urologist, who in 2008 blew the whistle on problems at Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Woolwich's urology department.
She is now calling for the resignation of the SLHT chief executive Dr Chris Streather and George Jenkins, chairman of the trust board.
Mrs Ellis said: "Nothing about the report surprises me.
"It's about time all of this started coming out.
"I've actually said to Dr Streather myself that the best thing for him to do would be to resign.
"Nobody there is doing enough to sort these problems out."
She is planning a protest at the Queen Elizabeth next month. To find out more about the protest,email firstname.lastname@example.com
Bob Neill, MP for Bromley and Chislehurst, said: "This report presents a damning assessment of the SLHT and patients and staff alike will, quite rightly, be questioning whether this body is capable of delivering the standards of care we expect in our local hospitals."
He added: "The case for disruptive reconfiguration plans has been undermined heavily by these revelations and, in the interests of improving patient services and staff moral, I would urge SLHT to do the right thing and restore appropriate acute services at Queen Mary's Hospital as swiftly as possible."
Orpington MP Jo Johnson said: "These are the standards of care patients have a right to expect in any hospital, and I will hold the trust management to account if it continues to fail to meet them."
Bob Stewart, Beckenham MP, also expressed his concern and said he would be seeking a meeting with trust chief executive Dr Chris Streather as soon as possible.

The arrogant refusal by SE London Trust to consider the concerns of the people of Bexley, it's Council and three MP's , will count in support of medical negligence actions brought against the Trust by deliberately destroying the principal of urgent care for serious accident victims in Bexley.
A mass of claims by residents whose relatives have died because they did not receive the prompt attention of a doctor by the cynical actions of closing a successful A and E at Queen Marys when failing to put any adequate provision in place. Medical Negligence on a huge scale. Choosing to put lives at risk by understaffing and failing to offer an acute service.
The South East London Trust closed Queen Marys A and E citing 'safety' when the situation is now that you have never been less safe. Should you now have a heart attack in Sidcup you will be at least 40 minutes from arriving at Queen Elizabeth A and E where your emergency ambulance can wait in a queue for an hour for you to be admitted to a four to ten hour wait. Proximity and adequate space and staffing are issues that determine life and death. The extra space promised at Queen Elizabeth has not even started to be built since there is no money to pay for any building work because they are over 100 million in debt and insolvent. Yet more lies to confuse the truth.
Lives are at risk from the incompetence of allowing such scenes of third world mismanagement as have been reported at Queen Elizabeth A and E , causing emergency ambulances to wait an hour to discharge urgent patients. 100 patient queues and 10 hour waits for patients in urgent need.
POLICE CALLED OUT TO TURN PATIENTS AWAY. SCANDAL OF DENIAL OF URGENT SERVICES. Their options are to travel 12 miles to Farborough PRU with a norovirus outbreak or travel 14 miles to Dartford Darenth Valley.
The trust makes a statement where they claim to monitor the situation at Queen Elizabeth A and E ' a daily basis' Yet then state that 'they have no knowledge of emergency ambulances queuing for an hour to deposit acute patients because A and E is full' So they are NOT monitoring the Situation.
if they DO know about police turning patients away they are pretending it hasn't happened. If they don't know about this scandalous refusal of service, then of course it proves they are dangerously incompetent.
The lies ,deceptions and misinformation given by South East London Trust are evidence of fraud against the people of Bexley. Lives are being put at risk by incompetent management trying to save money by destroying our Hospital and robbing its assets to benefit the privately owned sites at Woolwich and Farnborough.
My anticoagulant clinic that is held in Queen Marys (1.5 miles) recently refurbished facilities is now to close. I refuse to travel to Locksbottom (8 miles) or Woolwich (5 miles) By definition Warfarin patients are older and have suffered a life threatening episode of blood clots or heart attack so have a limited life expectancy . Making us travel miles to wait all day makes no sense.
Unless it stems from an intention to kill off old people to save paying their pension.
The mismanaging trust has failed to have either the staff or the space to take over a thousand Warfarin patients a week. Just like the A and E fiasco where they have no extra facilities or space to cope with the one thousand two hundred patients that would have been seen by Queen Marys.
They simply have not planned to take another thousand patients for blood tests resulting in attending a Warfarin Clinic turning into a whole day of travel and interminable waiting. They don't even have enough car parking spaces. A neighbour reports recently waiting for 3 hours for a blood test at Queen Elizabeth.
People of Bexley and its council have been treated with contempt by this gang of incompetent fraudsters.
Lying and thieving the assets of Bexley Healthcare to benefit private profits of private sites. The lives of the many of Bexley put at risk for the obscene Billion pound profits for a handful of investors in the two PFI sites. The effect of the trusts actions are the same as if QM Hospital has been privatised.
This clearly has nothing to do with 'safety'. Lives are put at risk to save a situation of two hospitals owing 250 million of debt. Trading whilst insolvent.

So they have a BUPA advert, they also advertise funeral directors too, if things do not change at Q.E. as well as making a change of management the funeral directors will not be able to cope with all the deaths that will happen at the hands of this current management.
London Ambulance service have never given anything other than a fantastic service, my husband worked with them for 7 years. They do not only deal with the dear little old lady thats had a fall, they deal with some of the most aggressive people as well as those that are extremely sick and dying. I for one do not believe that Savoy can possibly keep up the service The great London Ambulance Service have always given, another stroke by SLHT. Does that man not have any sense of loyalty to the workers or community. I have heard of cowboy builders but this is without a doubt a cowboy Chief executive and his posse. With the Savoy collecting patients who get taken to a hospital that is not safe or can not cope, what chance do any of us have.
Anybody running down the News shopper and hyping up Q.E seriously need to spend a week in Q.E or maybe the positive comments are actually from management themselves as they are the only ones that believe they will get away with all this. I for one as well as The Niekrash law group all have horrific stories from either ourselves or loved ones that have paid the ultimate price at the hands of this trust and died.
Ask the mother that contacted me with an extremely sick child and was told the wait would be over 6 hours, ask her how she felt having to then take her very sick little girl to
Princess Royal hospital. A petrified mother with an extremely ill little girl. Now tell me this hospital deserves to be given any more chances.
The trust knew from the start they could not cope with the overload from closing Queen Marys A.E. that extra few minutes journey in an emergency will be the difference between life and death, especially as they will now be transported by Savoy. At least they stood more chance with London Ambulance service's professionalism.
All these problems and many hundreds more are being ignored and the Chief executive and trust managers are getting away with it.....
That hospital has some of the finest consultants in the world, why should they have to work in such bad conditions. I really feel with the right team in there as management the hospital could be turned around.
The Niekrash Law trust group have a demonstration arranged for the end of February fully supported as none of the MP'S wanted to know when we asked for help in reporting wrongdoings at the hospital and hundreds of complaints letters unacknowledged by Chris Streather, Roger Smith and George Jenkins.
Most patients give up when their letters get ignored, but by mine being ignored by Chris Streather and the trust it made me more determined to pursue this further.
The same happened to consultant Ramon Niekrash when he voiced his concerns about patient safety, he was brave enough to persist in writing letters to the Chief executive and other levels of management but they bullied and hounded him and unlawfully suspended him. I know from emails from other people working within The QE that the only changes being made is that things are getting worse daily.
A demonstration has been organised for the end of next month for anyone who wishes to attend in protest about all services of The south London healthcare trust. Ambulance workers, hospital workers, Support for Mr Niekrash as he voiced his concerns to the trust since 2008, so all these complaints are not a new thing and nothing has changed for the better.
If you would like to take part it will be a peaceful demonstration. Please E.mail email@example.com
Well done News Shopper a great article and great support for the well deserve London Ambulance service.

I work at the Princess Royal hospital. Blimey what can I say. I am shocked at some of the ill judged and misinformed nature of some of these comments. We get loads of things wrong at our hospital but do you remember the debts that the last lot of managers ran up and the ridiculous cost of the PFI is crippling us. Keep the trust as it is for heavens sake. If you bring in new managers we'll be back to square 1 again. I'll leave if that happens because I don't think I could bear it all again. Just leave us alone
I have seen them first hand because they are far far too overworked and are down because they trained to be perfect in their field and cant be perfect because the trusts expect them to deal with too many patients. The hospitals have as I have said some of the best consultants in the country who have worked hard for years and years to get to where they are. They are entitle to be able to treat their patients in a clean and safe environment.
The whole management structure needs to change and to be sworn in under oath about sorting out the hospitals failings.
The Queen marys needs reopening A.E and we need our safe ambulance boys and girls from L,A,S ambulance crews we were proud of unlike Savoy who people are scared to be transported by.
And again I reiterate a great eye opening article by News Shopper

Close down the N.H.S. sack all the useless staff from the top to the bottom! Get good private health cover and never again subject you or yours to the farce that is the N.H.S!
The cost increases substantially based on age, and the majority will not cover anyone over 70
What would you suggest they do?

OK, this has been on my mind since last September, when Zimmerman hit .361 with no home runs. Nagging little thought then, but growing as this year has progressed.
Since the middle of August 2010 (that is, just about one year), Ryan Zimmerman has hit only 6 home runs. In terms of ABs (since the guy's been injured a lot, both at the end of last year and obviously this year), those 6 home runs have been over the last 342 ABs. This, after hitting 24 HRs in his first 393 ABs last year, and hitting 33 HRs in 2009.
But it's not just homers: his slugging % is down to .433 this year, and if it ended like that, it would be his lowest SLG% ever.
Now, this is in no way a condemnation of my favorite all-time Nats player: over that same period, batting for average is something Ryan seems to have gotten even better at: as mentioned above, he finished up last year hitting .361 in September, finishing over .300 for a year for the first time in his career. And now that he's managed to put this year's injury behind him, he's getting base hits like crazy these past couple of weeks (average up from .251 on July 26 to .295 today!).
Is it time to reconsider whether Zimmy is really a 25 HR player for the Nats? Maybe 10-15 from now on? And is that even a bad thing, if what he's done (which is the underlying thought to this post) is that he has changed his approach at the plate to put more emphasis on the average rather than the power? If Ryan wants to be a .300 hitter, and if doing so means hitting a few less homers (and driving in fewer runs, of course), what's the objection? Especially if we have guys behind him who can drive him in?
I suspect some of you will suggest it's too early to come to the conclusion that he's no longer a real power hitter: and certainly with the injuries that could be a fair thing to say, too. But to me it seems more like a concerted approach - I thought hitting .300 last year seemed pretty important to him, important to the point of taking a specific approach to attaining it.
What say you?

Animal rescue foundation
Barbara Haynes fundraising for PAWS AND CLAWS INC
Donations will be used to purchase food and shelter for abandoned animals
My story is also Jessie's story. During a brutal cold snap in January 2009, two 8-week old lab-cross litter mates were dropped off on the side of a country road in rural southeastern Minnesota. A farm lady who lived nearby found them and took them in. Since the nearby Austin Humane Society had no room in which to shelter them, the lady who found the pups became a foster parent and provided the friendly pups with food and shelter for the winter. The humane society provided funds for neutering. When the pups were 8 months old, their foster mom found it had become too difficult to give the two very exuberant pups all the attention and training they needed. She again contacted the humane society, but they were in the same situation -- no room.
At this time, I contacted the Austin Humane Society about a dog I had seen on their web site. Shirley had already been adopted, but they had posted a picture of the the two labs on the farm and gave me contact information. When I saw the picture, and then when I met her, I knew that Jessie was to be my girl. She did too. When my husband and I picked her up the following week, she put her head and front paws on my lab and stayed there the whole drive home. We were both smitten! Jessie's litter mate was adopted a couple of weeks later, and now romps with twin boys and an older lab. It was a happy ending for both patient pups.

Cubs are at this point spending an estimated $62.42M on pitching (+/- the reserve clause players and minor leaguers on the 40-man). Without the rumors and wishes as it stands right now Cubs have a set 4-man rotation (barring injury and recovery of Harden's rehab). Competition for the final rotation spot as published reports hold between Marshall, Samardz, Heilman & Gaudin, as it appears.
My preference would be that Samardz wins it outright, thus establishing that he has made it as a starter with a 4-pitch repetroire. This would strengthen the bullpen as Marshall would fold into LR/Swing/LOOGY role with Heilman and Gaudin could find roles in the bullpen. It appears locked that the Cubs will carry 12 pitcher so the 7 in the pen would seem to be Marmol-cl, Gregg-8th inning, Vizcaino, Heilman, Gaudin, Marshall and then there in lies 4 pitchers vying for 1 spot; Cotts, Wuertz, Hart and Guzman. I have Guzman without option but do not know Wuertz's & Cotts respective spots. Possible that Harden starts April 1 still on rehab on the 15-day DL and Cubs hang onto one of the four---interesting could be there is a deal here or there.
The position players appear to have $72.64M invested in them (again +/- reserve clause offerings, it will be interesting to see what Soto, Theriot & Fontenot are offered). Besides the ST sub plot of Fukudome's off season workout and move to CF I see him establishing himself as the everyday CF in the first month with and improved hitting prowess. The other sidebar will be how to keep Bradley healthy and able to play through the year. This is where we might see Johnson playing more RF than expected. The infield will have a bigger subplot as Lou has already mentioned the interest of seeing if Miles can play SS in a form of a platoon. Piniella hates a set lineup as it does many things simultaneously; it keeps players earning playing time, keeps those on the bench sharper when called upon to pinch hit, establishes Lou's authority as who plays when and where, puts players in situations where they have a higher chance succeeding and finally it establishes players have a role to play as in team play---meaning you play to win the game.
Interestingly with 12 pitchers, Cubs will have 13 position players---catchers(2) Soto & Bako toting the tools of ignorance, therefore (11) spots remain. Locks are Soriano, DLee, Ramirez, Fukudome, Bradley, Johnson, Miles, Theriot, & Fontenot, leaving (2) spots between what appears to be Gathright, Taguchi, & Hoffpauir. Here is a disconnect or hole in the depth charts for a perfect world. Hoffpauir is a backup for 1B and maybe a stiff for an inning or two in LF & RF, but not 3B. Taguchi is a RH'ed situational OF'er who played well for LaRussa and like Johnson can play all OF spots. Gathright is a situational base runner and CF'er who can play LF. Johnson can't play 3B then keeping Hoffpauir would be okay.
That said Captain Obvious (as I have been accused of) is now whispering to me that the rumored Aurilia effort is a move that would complete the Cubs depth chart as the old SS/2B and now 3B/1B could back up the entire infield in a pinch while providing a good bat off the bench, although SS he hasn't played for years and 2B once last year.That would eliminate Hoffpauir even though he is left handed.
To me what appears interesting is if Garciaparra is not signed in the next two weeks and if I were a GM I might throw a flyer at him for $1M and see if he bites. He could back up SS, 3B, 1B occassionally start at SS, 3B, and 1B and be a big bat off the bench. It is a WS roster move.
All said as it stands now Cubs are at $135M (+/- on reserve clauses and minor league contracts for 40 man), leaving about $5M for in season acquisitions. This is tantalizingly close to having money leftover for a Peavy trade if the Cubs subtract a few league minimums or a guaranteed salary.

Makeup: Charlotte Willer for Maybelline used Eye Shadow Quad in Give Me Gold #5 to highlight the browbones, inner corners and the tops of the cheekbones, then brought the copper shade from the inside of the eye through the crease blending it out into a cat's eye. Gold was added to the lid, and the bottom or the eye was rimmed with black kohl for a Cleopatra look. Willer coated lashes with The Falsies Mascara, and contoured cheeks with bronzer, before caoting lips with Deep Red Lipstick #645.
Hair: Gwen's personal stylist Danilo created rasta-punk hair, heavily inspired by Gwen's beloved harajuku girls. He started by clipping extensions near the front of the face, divided them into three sections, and made a long braid. The rest of the hair was pulled back into an asymmetrical ponytail, pulled halfway through the elastic into a messy bun. The hair was finished by either adding contrasting color hair pieces to the braided area, or randomly pinning strands back or to the sides.
Nails: CND's Angie Wingle blended Speedy, Inkwell, Studio White and Anchor together to create a dusty dark blue hue.
The brand's new amazonian clay-infused brow mousse is a DREAM and comes in Taupe, Medium Brown, or Rich Brown. The waterproof formula glides on, blends softly for a natural look, and is nearly undetectable.
To use, brush brow hair in the direction of growth with a brow brush, then begin filling in sparse areas with an angled brush swiped in emphasEYES brow mousse. Brush brows back into place to blend and set.

The dense, yet airy body chiffon warmed up with our own body heat, melting deliciously into the consistency of a massage oil - though it leaves no greasy, slick-like residue. We also scooped up a finger tip full and used it as a rich body butter. Though, we must say, that our favorite application was as a thin, tasty and very moisturizing lip balm.
Best of all (because who doesn't love free samples?), with every purchase, you get four 1/2 ounce jars in any flavor of your choice. These little jars work perfectly for throwing into your bag, and using on your lips, cuticles or hands. $30, Yumeblush.com

The U.S. Immigration law has a complicated system which determines which relation of relative can provide benefits to another.
Who is Eligible?
Those deemed of the highest priority are parents of US citizens, children under 21 of US citizens, and spouses of US citizens.
These relations are considered "immediate relatives". Other than these select classes that qualify for "immediate relative" status, there are several other qualifying relationships that can allow a US citizen or green card holder to apply for their family members. These include categories for married sons and daughters of U.S. Citizens, and brothers and sisters of adult US citizens, among others.
About the Process:
For those select classes able to qualify as "Immediate Relatives" there is never a shortage of available immigrant visa numbers (i.e. green cards) nor are there added delays in the process other than the regular time it takes for the case to process through the government offices.
Nonetheless, despite the sometimes fast processing timelines, there can often be important considerations such as work permission and travel restrictions that an experienced immigration attorney can discuss with you before you file such a petition for an immediate relative.
Petitions based on less "immediate" relationships can result in sometimes lengthy delays waiting for their turn in the queue of limited immigrant visa (green card) numbers. Due to these sometimes lengthy delays, it is very important to consult with an experienced immigration attorney to understand the potential advantages as well as the disadvantages and potential risks associated with filing family-based petitions.
At the Boston immigration law Office of Adrienne J. Vaughan, we realize that filing a petition for your relative is an extremely personal and emotional issue. Founding Immigration Attorney Adrienne J. Vaughan has over ten years experience in advising on family-based petitions. She has represented numerous family-based cases at hearings before the US Immigration Service (US CIS) district offices in New England, and has assisted many others whose relatives were overseas and processed through the US Consulates in their home countries. At the Law Office of Adrienne J. Vaughan, we realize that your case is of utmost importance to you.
We anticipate that you will have numerous questions along the way and welcome you to ask them all so that you feel confident in the process.
No case is too small to merit our undivided attention to your particular petition for a family member. Call or email us for a no-cost/no obligation phone discussion about your matter.

The man police say was at the heart of a car chase that ended with an injured officer went before a judge Thursday. Marcell Turner, 25, is making his court rounds.
By the end of the day Thursday, Turner will go before three different judges - first for Wednesday's police chase and then for outstanding drug charges. Turner is facing 12 charges in Charlottesville and one drug charge in Albemarle County.
Police arrested Turner Wednesday afternoon following a brief car chase that ended on Meridian Street. Police say he rammed two unmarked police cars and injured an officer.
Turner has been charged with eluding police, hit-and-run and malicious wounding.
A Charlottesville General District Court judge denied Turner bond Thursday morning. NBC29 also learned that Turner served time two years ago for a drug conviction.
Turner is currently being held at the Charlottesville Albemarle Regional Jail and will have a hearing on May 9.

Ford could leave Tigers - Healey
ESPN Staff
September 30, 2012
George Ford has been tipped as a future England No.10 © PA Photos
England hopeful George Ford may be forced to leave Leicester in search of first-team rugby, according to former Tigers scrum-half Austin Healey.
The 19-year-old fly-half made a major impact at the latter stages of last season as he guided Leicester to victory in the Anglo-Welsh Cup before playing a prominent part in the Tigers progress to the Aviva Premiership final.
The teenager was even touted for a place on England's tour of South Africa over the summer but he remained at home to work on his conditioning ahead of the new season. Despite his burgeoning reputation, Ford remains behind Toby Flood in the pecking order a Leicester with the England fly-half having started their first five matches in the Premiership.
And Healey believes Ford, who faces a similar dilemma to Owen Farrell and Charlie Hodgson at Saracens, is good enough to command automatic choice at virtually any other club in the Premiership.
"There are Premiership clubs crying out for a quality fly-half - Sale and Northampton spring to mind - and it amazes me you have the four best English fly-halves playing for just two clubs," he told the Rugby Paper.
"I'm all for a bit of competition and beating your opposite number but with players of the calibre of Charlie Hodgson, Owen Farrell, George Ford and Toby Flood the all need to be playing every week.
"Put George Ford in Northampton and they would be able to kick on from just being challengers to being a massive force. As a fly-half, more so than any other position, you need to be playing week-in, week-out and building up 15-20 games on the bounce with a break every now and the.
"If you drop out you miss out on patterns within the team and lose some of the understanding you have with other players. Even one week, lots of small things change on the field that you'll have to relearn. There's a lot of intricacies and even if your timing is off by a miniscule amount it can make a big difference. "

Promoted to the front page from the FanPosts by Luke Thomas.
Randy Couture talked to Sherdog.com about his future plans:
Maybe this year, or maybe the first of next year. I haven't really looked at the cards and the shows that they have. What's on the schedule, I don't know, but I'm especially leaning towards dropping down. I'm pushing in weight. It would be easy for me to make 205 and there's more interesting fights there right now.
The five time UFC champion is targeting a return around the start of 2010, but in the mean time, he is also planning to do a few more films. Something which he could see himself doing even after he retires from fighting:
I realize at this stage in my career that I can't fight forever, so it's not logical for me to put the movie stuff on hold, I have too many opportunities and options right now.
It's a constant juggling act with all the stuff that I'm doing, so I'll have to get plenty of notice for fights and when I get a fight that comes on the radar that's interesting, I shut everything else down for that nine or 10-week period.


text: Here is the last studio album released by the great Can-- Rite Time. The great part about this album is that they brought back their original singer Malcolm Mooney, but dont get me wrong, I love Damo Suzuki. The age can be heard especially well in the vocals of Malcolm Mooney. His singing is either complete brilliance or utter insanity on this album. His singing style can best be described as a fusion of paranoid rambling and some sort of funk. I hope you all enjoy this album.

Hairy Norse Gods, Zebra Seahorses and Green Mood Shrimp..
Posted by: Kungkungan Bay Resort
It has been one of those weeks. One of those very special Lembeh weeks when you see things you've never seen (or heard of) before. And this is after nearly two years of diving here practically every day.
So, starting with the Hairy Norse God. I was pottering around at Nudi Falls, looking for interesting critters, when I happened to glance at a white bit of coral/sponge half hidden under a rock. I thought I saw some colour and had a closer look and, sure enough, there was a nudibranch I hadn't seen before.
It was pretty distinctive, as it was a very pretty nudibranch. A white body, thin black lines and purple and yellow tipped lumpy protrusions coming out along it's body (having a super macro lens on my video camera and a monitor on the back makes it much easy to see these tiny things!!!). Barb had a look too and took these lovely photos.
When we got back to KBR I looked it up and was delighted to find that it was called a Hairy Norse God!! Surely one of the coolest names of any critter!!!
The next amazing find was of this Zebra-stripped Seahorse. I must say that this is perhaps the most beautiful seahorse I have ever seen. And it's easy to see with your naked eye!!
Apparently the last time one of these was seen was about 15 years ago, so it is very special. The guides call it a Zebra Seahorse, but after a bit of research, as it's important to name these things correctly, it seems that Zebra Seahorses are endemic to Australia, and though similar to this one, are a bit different. This one turns out to be a zebra-stripped variation of a Longnose Seahorse (Hippocampus trimaculatus).
Whatever it's true name it is undeniable that it is a truly stunning seahorse and a wonderful find.

The last critter I have rather presumptuously named the Green Mood Shrimp. They are an unknown shrimp that has been seen here in Lembeh for the last six months or so, but we had never seen one. Nothing is known about them and they might be common, but they camouflage themselves very well.
I'll go into more detail next week, as I'll have some great video of these little guys then. I'll also explain why we came up with the name Green Mood Shrimp!! Until then enjoy Barb's photos of them.
The rest of the week has been fantastic. We seen Harlequin Shrimp, Harlequin Crabs, Candy Crabs, Hairy Shrimp, elegant Squat Lobster, Hairy Squat Lobster, Squat Shrimp, Emperor Shrimp, Donald Duck Shrimp, Hidden Corallimorph Shrimp, Boxing Crabs, Mantis Shrimp with eggs, Bubble Coral Shrimp, Halimeda Crabs, Tiger Shrimp, Urchin Bumblebee Shrimp, Crinoid Shrimp, Snapping Shrimp, Skeleton Shrimp, Commensal Shrimp, Cleaner Shrimp, Marble Shrimp, Decorator Crabs and many more. There have been Wonderpus, Mimic, Long Arm, Coconut and Reef Octopus, as well as Flamboyant, Pygmy, Giant and Broadclub Cuttlefish and Bobtail Squid. As well as the lovely Zebra Seahorse, there have been Thorny, Common and Estuary Seahorses, and there have been pink and yellow Bargabanti Pygmy Seahorses and Pontohi and Severn's Pygmy Seahorses. We've also seen Ornate, Robust and Velvet Ghost Pipefish, and Winged, Orange Lined and Network Pipefish. And Lembeh Pygmy Seadragon and Pygmy Pipehorses. Frogfish have been good, with more Hairy, Painted, Warty, Coin Bearing (Occellated) and Crimson varieties. And there have been Ambon Scorpionfish, Stonefish, juvenile Pinnate and Zebra Batfish, Ribbon Eels, Pegasus Sea Moths, Bobbit Worms, Leaf Scorpionfish, Stargazers, Mandarinfish, Spiny Devilfish, Electric Clams and a Six Lined Soapfish.
Thanks to all our lovely guests from the UK, France, Russia and Italy.
Enjoy all of Barb's photos this week. Just click on the top or bottom photo strip.

Advice to Graduates
Posted in Podcast
by Clay Mabbitt on May 2, 2012
May is the month where large groups of mostly young people cast off the moniker of student and assume a new role as working professionals. As a few of these graduates are the Squares of Tomorrow™, we have a vested interest in making sure they get the best possible advice on being successful, productive, and happy.
We get into some specific advice from each Square in the episode, but there are a few common threads that appear over and over. Don't take whatever job falls in your lap. Think about what you want to be doing with your days, and pursue a career that lets you do that. If you aren't sure what you want to do, then discovering that is your top priority. You can interview professionals, take assessments, ask friends, or do some old fashioned trial and error – but do not wait to be struck with inspiration. Figure out what area you want to work in and go get a job that lets you do the meatiest parts of that process each day.
If your dream job hasn't walked up and smooched you on the face yet, it's probably not going to. You need to go seek it out.
Topics Covered:
- The importance of writing in a professional environment – every professional environment
- The unique opportunity you have to network right now
- Being intentional with the decisions you make from this point on
- Keep continually learning – especially from sources that are outside of your wheelhouse
- How employers think about your generation in terms of loyalty and entitlement
Resources Mentioned:
- Conan O'Brien's commencement speech – given June 12, 2011 to the graduates of Dartmouth College
- Stranger Dreams – the mystery point-and-click video game that Dean created for his capstone project
- Getting Real – ostensibly about web development, this book is packed with tips and insight on running a lean, effective business

We ask you, Gov. Brown, to set an example. In their time, the U.S. Army consigned the inhumane prison conditions at Dachau to the trash heap of history. The same thing should happen now to the unbearable prison conditions in the prisons of the United States – and especially the prisons in the State of California, which you govern.
December 4, 2011
Kagame jails and kills people in Rwanda and is sending his agents to pursue people in Europe and here in the U.S. for the crime of simply saying that not only Tutsis but also Hutus died in 1994. One young man who is now under attack as a "bad" survivor is Claude Gatebuke.

Town Journal: Letters, Feb. 14, 2013
Response to Flynn
Always enjoy Ed Flynn's column, like hearing from my missed dad. Today he seemed to bring some ideas forward that I have observed over the last 55 years ("Gun play is no longer a game," Feb. 7).
Yes, I was also a gun player, emulating the "Bonanza" and "Combat" genres of TV shows. We also brought real guns to school for history class or later as a rifle team member — even bagged me a college letter. There were school shootings. I recall "the Texas Tower shooter" in Life Magazine spotlighting the number of armed citizens believed responsible for keeping the body count down by returning fire on the sniper. Like Ed I remember watching film coverage of World War II that appeared no more bloody than the Western that proceeded it. Then out of nowhere comes actual color movie footage of a young American President's brains being blown out, again and again.
I am a competitive shooter. I was trained on a military rifle because as a college student it, and the ammo that feeds it, was cheap (already had a down-payment from my tax dollars). It was only after Florio's political Assault Weapon's Ban that it become classified as an "Assault Weapon." Although I have a five-round limit for range safety rules, no five round magazines are available for that rifle. The Second Amendment was written and included in our constitution with the concept of the citizen soldier, and as such means a citizen should be allowed to be armed as a soldier for both the defense of the nation, or the defense from a domestic power who would threaten those other rights as the "Freedom of Speech" we enjoy. There are a multitude of firearms and bullet combinations out there, and just as I choose not to hunt, I can not condemn another shooter who under safe conditions finds making bowling pins dance with a large capacity magazine rewarding.
I look forward to cooler heads prevailing as the threats of legislation seem to spark mass purchases of guns and ammunition that through the passage of time, may find their way back into the general available weapons pool with future users not prone to background checks as they could not pass them.
As my dad, thank you for your service.

Town Square
City Council to decide outcome of PP, QQ passages
Original post made on Nov 6, 2008
Because both Measures PP and QQ received favorable votes from a majority of those casting ballots, both measures were officially approved. It will now be up to the City Council to consider the measures and develop an action plan for putting a hillside protection ordinance in place that reflects the intent of both measures.
Read the full story here Web Link posted Thursday, November 6, 2008, 11:18 AM
on Nov 6, 2008 at 10:45 pm
QQ does not require a citizens task force. It simply requires a public process.
on Nov 6, 2008 at 11:07 pm
As I understood from the staff report, the City needs to come up with some clarifying ordinances anyway in order to implement PP. I can picture another ballot measure asking voters to adopt whatever comes out of the QQ process that might even overturn PP.
on Nov 7, 2008 at 1:15 am
If that happens(a ballot measure to overturn PP)I can envision the clipboards coming out for a recall ballot measure...:)
Do you suppose it will ever end...:):)

Klipsch P-38F Floorstanding Speaker
As the intermediate floorstanding loudspeaker in our high-end luxury Palladium Series, the P-38F features the flagship P-39F's technology and gallery-like appearance in a slightly smaller but equally stunning package.
• Modern design incomparable craftsmanship and proprietary technologies
• Exotic zebra-grain Linia veneer cabinet
• 0.75-inch horn-loaded tweeter
• 4.5-inch midrange and triple 8-inch woofers
• Bass-reflex design via quad rear-firing ports
Introducing the P-38F floorstander, along with the entire Palladium™ Series, Klipsch has established new standards for visual impact and audio excellence. In fact, this premium speaker is a pinnacle of modern-day horn-loaded technology, letting you hear and emotionally connect with your music and movies precisely as the original artist or director intended.
The Speaker as Sculpture
The P-39F's dramatic styling was born from our partnership with BMW Group DesignworksUSA. With an eye toward home interior and furniture designs, this pairing created a signature look that blends classic Klipsch audio and a clean, contemporary appearance.
The floorstander's "boat-tail" enclosure hints at the power and performance inside, while maintaining a high degree of sophistication and beauty. Next to its unique shape, the most striking visual statement is the exotic zebra-grain Linia veneer that's available in three different finishes: natural, merlot and espresso. The horizontal linear grain and absence of visible fasteners allows the P-39F to elegantly complement your furniture and décor.
Side-firing ports are another example of the marriage of form and function. The ports themselves increase bass response, while their metallic finish mirrors the horn and driver trim rings. Because P-39F loudspeakers are sold as matched left and right pairs, the ports make an easily seen visual statement. An adjustable brushed aluminum floating base supports the cabinet at just four points, rather than the entire area of the base. This raises the cabinet from floor level but maintains absolute stability.
A Legacy Reborn
Since 1946, Klipsch has been synonymous with horn-loaded technology. And since then, we've been guided by the four design principles set forth by our founder Paul W. Klipsch: high efficiency, low distortion, controlled directivity and wide and flat frequency response. After just one listen, you'll discover the P-39F represents the latest advancement in horn technology and purest application of those design principles yet.
Unique to the Palladium Series is a carbon-infused, thermoset composite dual-horn configuration. It consists of a proprietary tweeter design, combining a chambered phase plug and Tractrix® Horn for extended high-frequency response; a second 90º by 60º acoustically dampened Tractrix Horn is coupled to the midrange driver, resulting in remarkably precise and detailed performances.
For superior bass performance, the P-39F's three low-frequency drivers employ 9-inch hybrid cone woofers, powered by a unique three-part neodymium magnet structure with dual stabilizing rings that reduce nonlinear flux. Triple ports further enhance low-distortion bass response. Each woofer's 1.5-inch voice coil responds accurately to the smallest signal modulation, yet can also handle the high power of the most demanding soundtracks.

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
Residents of Perrysburg Heights came out in force on Sunday to voice their concerns.
This was a meeting of the Perrysburg Heights Community Association.
Some community members say fighting among the board may put the "South of the Border" festival in jeopardy.
The festival is scheduled for August 9th and 10th and is a fundraiser for the community center there.
The members are also worried the center itself could be in danger of being used for other purposes.
"Every year they have Easter egg hunts, they have Christmas parties. It just makes me sick because everything that they have worked so hard for here is like in shambles and it's awful," said Perrysburg Heights resident, Erica Hehl.
The board members were not expected to decide anything on Sunday.

Select Route:
The original route and a historical accomplishment, the Normal route on Cavall Bernat is the easiest way to the summit of this fine spire.
Via Normal is located on the southwest side of Cavall Bernat. A lower angle shoulder leads to a perch with memorial plaques (one is quite shiny). A short traverse (crux) leads to a steep, left-facing corner finishing at a fairly flat belay below a final steep section, which leads to lower angle climbing to the summit.
A set of quick draws (~10) and a few shoulder length slings (~6) is fairly adequate as the route has a fair amount of fixed protection in the form of bolts and spikes glued into the corner crack. Some supplemental medium sized nuts and cams (#2 TCU to #3 Camalot or equivalent: singles only) would be more than enough to take any sting out of the run outs between points of fixed protection.

More protests over a anti-Muslim video made in the United States are expected on Monday, Sept. 17. The leader of Hezbollah went on television to call for people throughout Lebanon to join anti-American demonstrations.
Protests continued over the weekend throughout Africa, the Middle East and parts of Asia. One protestor died in clashes with police outside the U.S. consulate in Karachi, Pakistan. U.S. officials say all Americans inside the consulate are safe.

Top 5 Tips to Reduce Dog Allergies
Dog lovers who are allergic to dogs can reduce their symptoms by taking steps to limit the amount of pet dander and hair in the home. If someone in your home is allergic to the family pooch, keep these top 5 tips in mind to reduce symptoms caused by dog allergies.
1. Bathe and Brush Puppy Often
People who have allergies to dogs are often experiencing a reaction to pet dander – microscopic flakes of dead skin which are occasionally shed. Bathing and brushing dogs on a consistent schedule will help to remove pet dander before it is released into the home – and before it can cause a flare-up of dog allergies. Professional grooming services which completely brush out the undercoat can also help to remove dander accumulation.
2. Use Natural Non-Scented Dog Grooming Products
Allergy suffers can have a sensitivity to products made with perfumes or strong detergents, and grooming pets with perfumed shampoos and conditioners or strong cleansers can aggravate allergy symptoms. When dogs are groomed, use perfume free products made with all natural and gentle cleansers.
3. Check Air Filters Regularly
Air filters generally require a check every 3 months, but if you have pets – and someone in the home suffers from pet allergies – than a monthly filter check can help to catch the accumulation of dirt, which may contain pet dander, before it is re-released back into the home through the air ducts. If the filter looks dirty, change it immediately; depending on how many pets are in the home, and the time of year, it may be necessary to change the filter every month or every 2 to 3 months.
4. Vacuum Often but With Care
Frequent vacuuming will help remove pet dander from carpet, floors and furniture – but vacuuming can also lift and suspend pet dander particles into the air. If a house guest who has dog allergies is coming for a visit, vacuum the day before your guest arrives to make sure that air filters have time to catch any pet dander released into the air from vacuuming. Try to vacuum too at a time when allergy sufferers are out of the home.
5. Say No to Pooches in the Bedroom
People suffering from dog allergies should maintain a 100% pet free bedroom. Keep the bedroom door shut during the day and always vacuum the bedroom first before vacuuming the rest of the house. Create a comfortable sleeping area for pets as far away as possible from the bedroom – and wash or air out dog bedding on a weekly basis.

A United Parcel Service truck out delivering packages in a Mauldin neighborhood on Monday caught fire.
FOX Carolina spoke with a witness to the blaze who said the flames started shooting out of the truck's engine.
The truck was located near Plum Creek Lane and Miller Road when the fire started.
The witness, Angel Jaramillo, took several photos of the damage, which included charred packages.
Dan Cardillo with UPS public relations said the driver was OK and the company was working with the investigating agency.
"We are also in the process of assessing the extent of the damage to packages on the truck," Cardillo said. "UPS will contact customers whose packages may have been damaged or destroyed and we will make them whole."

Katusha Team's Luca Paolini has the Maglia Rosa of Giro d'Italia leadership for another day after Stage 6 of the Giro. Katusha Team sport director Valerio Piva told Italian TV, "I am really pleased at the way Luca Paolini and the entire Katusha Team is riding at this Giro d'Italia. Since I came to Katusha, I have seen Luca grow as a team leader. He is a very serious, very professional rider, who has made many sacrifices and ridden for others his entire career. It's great to see him get this recognition, the Maglia Rosa at the Giro d'Italia, for all he's achieved throughout his career."
After Thursday's sprinters stage, Maglia Rosa Paolini explained, "This was a stage for the sprinters, so the GC contenders tried to stay up front to avoid the crashes. Katusha Team was perfect at keeping me at the front all day. We all know Friday will be a very difficult stage, but fortunately I am in good shape and I will ride it like a classics race. It's really great to have so many tifosi (fans) screaming your name during the race and at the start or the finish, so I am very motivated and I want to keep the Maglia Rosa until the ITT on Saturday."
Friday's Stage Stage 7 at the Giro d'Italia is a hard and hilly race over 177km from Marina di San Salvo to Pescara, a stage in the hot interior of the March region with many climbs, including four categorized ascents in the last 60km.

Tactical Choices is already training teachers to carry a concealed weapon, but now owner, Steve Wolf, is taking it one step further by offering teachers a lesson that he says could save their lives and the lives of their students. Wolf is building a mock classroom, where he plans to train teachers for active shooter situations.
Right now the classroom has a dirt floor, chairs and a chalkboard, but soon it will have walls and a concrete floor.
"They say you should practice how you play. So we've created a realistic mockup of a normal Texas public school classroom," said Wolf.
Wolf teaches tactical firearms training; soon Wolf is going to offer a more tactical approach to help teachers to defend their classrooms.
"By having a tactical classroom, teachers can get practice in an environment that is going to resemble the environment in which they might need to use this skill," said Wolf.
Soon, state funding could pay for teachers to receive similar training.
Wolf says teachers are signing up in record numbers for the class.
"The Newtown shooting spurred an incredible amount of interest for us," he said.
Wolf says he is offering the class called 'Tactical Teachers 101' free of charge to teachers.
He expects construction to be complete in about two weeks.

News stories tagged with "invasive"
Natural Selections: Invasive earthworms
by Natural Selections, in Canton, NY
Paul Smiths, NY, Oct 10, 2013 — Earthworms, friend to lawn and garden, are actually an invasive species in northern forests, which developed in the worm-free environment of retreating glaciers 10,000 years ago. Martha Foley and Dr. Curt Stager discuss their return, and the consequences for boreal soil, trees and wildflowers. Go to full article
White nose syndrome ravages bat populations as it spreads west
by Brian Mann
Saranac Lake, NY, Jun 12, 2012 — White Nose Syndrome is a deadly bat disease that continues to spread rapidly across the U.S. It was first identified in a cave near Albany in 2006. In the six years since, it's wiped out 90% of the population of bats in many caves across northern New York and Vermont. Researchers have made headway identifying the fungal disease, but they've found no way to stop it from infecting new sites as far away as western Ontario and Missouri.
Brian Mann checked in with Mollie Mattieson, with the Center for Biological Diversity in Vermont, which has been one of the leading environmental groups working on white nose syndrome. She is just back from a national conference on the disease and says much of the news is still bleak. Go to full article

Researchers hope for a "super" butternut tree
by NCPR News
Northfield, VT, Jul 06, 2010 — Butternut trees are dying across the northeastern U.S. and southeastern Canada. A fungus is killing the big trees much like Dutch elm disease killed American elms over the last century. And just as scientists are producing resistant elms, butternut researchers hope they'll be able to produce a "super" butternut that will fight off the canker killing the old native trees.

Heard Up North: Washing boats to stop spread of invasive species
by Comvox
Jul 23, 2008 — Invasive species have been a problem in the North Country since the first zebra mussels arrived from the Caspian Sea in Asia. These and many other invasives came up the St Lawrence Seaway in the ballast tanks of ocean going freighters. A recent study found that throughout the Great Lakes region industries from sport fishing to forestry could lose $200 million as invasives crowd out indigenous species. Trans-Atlantic ships coming up the St Lawrence are now required to flush their ballast tanks before entering the Great Lakes. But there are other more local efforts to stop the spread of invasives, even from one Adirondack pond to the next. And one of these efforts is today's Heard Up North. Go to full article

Invasives spread across North Country; threaten Adirondack Park
Apr 24, 2007 — The Sirex wood wasp has now spread across most of New York and virtually all the North Country. By burrowing and laying eggs in pine and scotch trees, the invasive insect kills them by introducing a fungus into their sap. As Jonathan Brown reports, officials with the state Department of Environmental Conservation are considering hauling restrictions, and possibly quarantines, to keep the wasps from spreading further.

Keeping out some nasty, wood-eating invaders
Apr 11, 2007 — State environmental officials are warning people about bringing firewood srom down-state to camps and campgrounds in the North Country. As Jonathan Brown reports, the concern is over some destructive insects hitching rides in firewood and spreading across the northeast and into Canada. Go to full article
Natural Selections: Round Goby
Jun 08, 2006 — The Round Goby followed its Caspian/Black Sea neighbor, the zebra mussel, into the St. Lawrence River and Great Lakes around 1990. It is displacing its less aggressive local relative, the sculpin, and harming populations of game fish. On the other hand, it eats zebra mussels. Dr Curt Stager and Martha Foley talk about the downs and ups of invasive species, and efforts to slow their spread into American waters. Go to full article
Scientists Keep Tabs on Exotic Crab
Feb 02, 2005 — Biologists are asking people to keep their eyes peeled for another potential invader into the St. Lawrence River. A Chinese mitten crab was found near Quebec City last fall. Like the American Eel, the mitten crab spawns in the ocean, so it's unlikely to proliferate in Lakes Ontario or Erie. But the St. Lawrence may be more welcoming habitat. David Sommerstein spoke with David MacNeill. He's a fisheries specialist with New York Sea Grant Extension in Oswego. He says biologists aren't sounding the alarm yet because one Chinese mitten crab hardly constitutes an invasion. But he says the discovery highlights the failure of ballast discharge rules for foreign ships entering the St. Lawrence Seaway. Go to full article
Invasive Fish Rears Ugly Head in Great Lakes
Nov 25, 2004 — Last month, a Chicago fisherman caused a stir when he found a northern snakehead fish. The discovery set off a frantic search to find out if yet another invasive species is threatening the Great Lakes. The Great Lakes Radio Consortium's Jenny Lawton reports. Go to full article
