Guest Column: Rock River Sweep a success in Rockton
By Loren Floto
Rockton Friends of the Rock and Rock River Sweep Rockton organizer
First of all, a great big thank-you to everyone who came out yesterday (Saturday, Sept. 8) for a fun day cleaning the river! We had perfect weather; there was a slight problem with wind blowing away everything inside the gazebo … but I'm nitpicking! It was great, and everyone had a fun time.
We had 49 volunteers participating, another new record, up from 42 last year and 11 for our first effort in 2010. We removed a huge collection of trash from the river. At this point, I'm estimating more than 2,700 pounds, pending the actual weight of a truckload of scrap iron, which I plan to sell.
In addition, there were 18 tires (which Jack's Tire has graciously offered to recycle for us free of charge), 60 pounds of recyclable plastic/aluminum/paper, and the rest of the weight consisted of general plastic/Styrofoam trash, treated wood and miscellaneous stuff too muddy or degraded to recycle.
Some interesting items were found, including a cash drawer from a store, a Realtor's yard sign, a "No Trespassing" sign, an iron cross, three fishing rods, a pair of Keen shoes (cleaned and claimed by a volunteer family), River Rat tube, Super Dish network antenna, two blue plastic barrels, rusted culvert, rebar, steel ramp, oil drums, water pipes, fence post, angle iron, etc.
There appeared to be less trash this year. Some of us theorized that our cleanup effort is having an effect, while others thought that less stuff got washed down from upstream because of the drought.
Some of the river life we observed included green heron, kingfisher, crayfish, and turtle nests dug up with only the eggshells remaining. Our 5-year-old volunteer decided he would eat a tiny wild mushroom he found, with no ill effects.
A little after noon, we shared pizzas, watermelon and snacks and door prizes at the gazebo. I was interviewed on camera by Channel 23 and got a few seconds of air time on the 6 p.m. news. Also, Susan Moran's photos of our volunteers and their junk should appear in the Northern Weekly Sept. 19, she said.
Again, thank you, and I look forward to working with you again in 2013.
Rockton Friends of the Rock's Loren Floto was the organizer of the Rockton, Ill., portion of the Rock River Sweep.
From the Sept. 12-18, 2012, issue

From stainless steel water bottle company Pura, Pura Kiki is a colorful line of baby bottles ($16 each) that convert into sippy cups. They're BPA-, phthalate-, and plastic-free, making them a seemingly safe option for new mamas. Unlike breakable glass bottles, stainless steel can be dropped or thrown and still be no worse for the wear. The bottles are compatible with most major brand's nipples (including Born Free, Dr. Browns, and Think Baby) and can be converted into sippy cups with a simple switch of the nipple. To monitor a lil one's liquid intake, the bottles feature interior markings rather than the traditional exterior versions.

Sign up with blooditsnotfunny 4 years nah. Whenever I drink out of stainless steel, I can taste and smell a very distinct metallic flavor/scent. That just can't be healthy. 5/10 years ago nobody knew that BPA was harmful, so it could be that there is something in these that is harmful but is not known of at the moment. I'm going to go with my gut on this. I'll use glass bottles when the time comes. miss-leanne 4 years I don't think I'd try them. I thought I was crazy for paying $10 for born free bottles, but I couldn't imagine paying 16 for ONE. Also, I've gone through several stainless steel water bottles myself because they dent so easily, so I couldn't imagine what they'd look like after a month. 4 years you can buy a cover for the stainless steel baby bottles so it won't be too cold for the hands. Stainless steel bottles are the smart and natural choice of bottle for babies as they are 100% pure and will not break like glass and do not have any dangerous chemicals that can leach in to the water (or formula). http://greenbottle.info 4 years Nope, I tried these and there aren't any handles, so the stainless steel makes water or juice freezing cold for little hands.

The shark week commercial made me cry...
You'll Either Love Or Completely Hate This Shark Week Commercial Showing A Seal Getting Eaten
"It's a bad week to be a seal."
1. This is Shark Week's newest TV spot, a fake newscast featuring the demise of an unfortunate seal named Snuffy.
2. The advertisement has split viewers 50-50, with some thinking it's in bad taste and others thinking it's hilarious.
7. The Shark Week Facebook page reflects a similar divide, with viewers either completely up in arms or loving it.
14. Shark Week starts Aug. 4 on Discovery Channel. RIP Snuffy.

Number Of Pages:
Alison Willoughby is an established and innovative textile designer, selling and exhibiting her work both in Britain and abroad. Renowned for her highly individual and hand constructed intricate skirts, she became famous as 'skirtgirl' but has recently branched into menswear and womenswear, and more recently into shop and gallery installations. Alison has been running her own business in London since graduating from The Royal College of Art, graduating with an MA in Constructed Textiles Mixed Media. Some of her design clients include: Habitat, Oilily, Tse Cashmere, Club Monaco, and Tait and Style Knitwear. Her work has been sold in The Pure Living Lounge at Selfridges, Labour of Love, Mint, Dialogue Between Art and Fashion, Johnny Moke, Yum Yum Jelly, Ysh in Tokyo and Coco Ribbons in Kuwait and Dubai. She previously completed commissions for Liberty and the Arts Council of England. Her solo shows include the British Council's window gallery in Prague; Urban Outfitters in both Glasgow and London, during London Fashion Week; Black Swan Arts in Frome, Somerset; and The Atrium Gallery, Glasgow.
As a long time sewer I was disappointed in this book, I had read a bio about her and the book and decided to buy it when I could. But I found it didn''t live up to expectations and a waste of my limited resources. Repetitive techniques and designs used throughout many of the 49 projects in all too heavy layers would be impractical to comfortably wear these skirts. Some interesting ideas but very few new innovative ways to add design and texture. She obviously likes the rough unfinished look of edges that will soon fray the fabric bits into rags, as most of the designs have this look, some it suits others look like she just couldn''t be bothered finishing them. I gave it three stars because there are some techniques that have given me some ideas or reminded me of things I have done in the past and forgotten. Get it from the library first if you can before you buy.

So my scene from the next SW movie is a scene with the remnants of the old empire.
The Old Empire has been defeated, but even though the Emperor has been killed, soldiers of the Empire still fight on. The Rebels, now known as the New Republic, have sent out squads of troopers to deal with these pockets of resistance. Leading these troops are the newly trained Jedi, taught under the guidance of Jedi Master Luke Skywalker.
I have created a street scene, with the Empire trying to hold out against Rebel troops, with the Rebels being led by one of the new Jedi.
The camera quality is not great, but it works.
Also The Empire are using one of their prototype vehicles, the Imperial STAP! (note: it is actually flying, it is not mounted to the pole)

Chris Bosh
CBS Radio Sports Talent React To LeBron's Return To Cleveland
We reached out to our sports radio personalities from across the country to get their opinion on James' decision. Here's their reactions:
Keidel: King James And His Court
LeBron James singularly orchestrated the Big Three union. And now that he has opted out of his Miami Heat contract, he's once again the Alpha Male of pro sports. Teams are scrambling to find the proper finances and expiring contracts, flipping over cushions for salary cap coin.
When Bosh Steps Up, Heat Reap Benefits
MIAMI (AP) — In Miami, it's called the Big Three for a reason.
LeBron James was stellar for the Heat in Game 2 of their Eastern Conference first-round series against Charlotte, and Dwyane Wade helped save the game with a steal to deny the Bobcats a chance at tying the game in the final seconds.
Bosh's Heroics Lift Miami Past Charlotte, 99-98
Chris Bosh scored 13 straight points for Miami in the final minutes, including a trio of 3-pointers that capped a late rally, and the Heat found a way to beat the Charlotte Bobcats 99-98 on Sunday night to extend their winning streak to 10 games.
Miami Completes The Heat-Peat, 95-88
How do you follow up one of the greatest NBA Finals games in history? The Miami Heat and the San Antonio Spurs did just that Thursday night with the greatest spectacle in sports, a Game 7, winner-take-all game at the AmericanAirlines Arena.
Lewis Woodard Talks NBA Finals, Future Of Heat's Big 3 With Sean Grimm Of B/R
Last Word 6-19-2013: Bleacher Report columnist Sean Grimm joins Lewis to break down Game 6, predict Game 7 and look ahead to the future of the Big 3 in Miami. Why is LeBron struggling with […]
LeBron Leads Heat To Game 6 OT Win
LeBron James led a title-saving charge, and now his crown will be on the line one more time in Game 7.
5 Things to Watch For In Game 6 of NBA Finals
Five things to watch for in Game 6 of the NBA Finals, as the San Antonio Spurs try to clinch their fifth title and end the Miami Heat's reign on Tuesday night:
Manu Ginobili Sparks Spurs To Game 5 Win
Manu Ginobili ran onto the floor as fans stood and screamed. He went to the bench, and they chanted his name. The sights and sounds of so many San Antonio spring nights were back Sunday — and the real party might be just a few days away.
Spurs KO Heat; Lead Series 3-2
The Miami Heat came back to the AT&T Center looking to take a 3-2 lead with the series set to return to South Florida. Instead, the Spurs' hot shooters stayed hot and San Antonio's 114-104 victory sends the series back to South Florida.

This Picture of the fuel dump was the constant target of the VC when they shot rockets at us each night. If you look to the left you can see the hooches where the marines lived. One rocket hit, would have destroyed the whole living area.
I was serving as the mobile POL laboratory officer located in the tank farm during the Tet attack of Jan
68. It was great duty up until then! The ammo dump blew skyhigh and the tank farm took slight damage but didn't blow. Glad to leave in May of68 after quite a few more 122mmm rockets were sent our way. I'd love to connect with others who were there.
Hello jerrykap,I would suggest contacting someone at ;www.americal.org to get some info.Welcome home brother and thank you for your service.
Hello jerrykap! I was in the tower on the ocean when all hell broke loose on January 31, 1968. I still have a piece of shrapnal that came from the ammo dump. Several rockets fell short, one hit but did not explode and another hit MAG16 next door. That was probably the worse night of my life up to that point. The best morning I ever saw was us still standing when the sun came up! I was in the USN and was responsible for the security of the fuel farm that night. Alive and well in Waterford michigan firstname.lastname@example.com

Debunking the Gnostic 'Parchment: Jesus Couldn't Have Had a Wife Comments
Have we really regressed, after 4,000 years of Divine revelation, to seeing the Trinity the way the Greeks saw the gods, sneaking into human bedrooms disguised as humans, in order to impregnate human beings so as to created demi-gods, in the process committing adultery against their divine mates ?

Karl VDH thanks. Let me share just one thought about how this makes a difference. Say it is alleged authoritatively that Jesus married, and say, had children. Osteogenesis offspring would truly be sons of God and truly "begotten" by God. Yet the Scriptures say that Jesus is God's only begotten Son. See the problem? Now salvation came about through God's only begotten Son except that He wasn't that? Or, see how Jesus says "the Father and I are one", but now, He is also "one with a carnal woman". See the issue?
So it isn't trivial, and affects many things in the economy of Revelation, in my opinion.

DLL no we mean earthly carnal marriage; we say it is not possible for Jesus to have had an earthly carnal wife.

I think the idea is silly, myself, but I also think we get too worked up about it. I mean... if we all take a deep breath, and clear our emotional heads before we react, let's say, for the sake of argument, that Jesus DID mary Mary Magdalene. I know, it's ridiculous. But for just a moment, let's say there was conclusive proof; he did.
...what in the world does it change about Christ, his mission, his sacrifice?
-nothing. Not really. Nothing at all.
so how about if we put this one to bed and worry about actually LIVING the Gospels we KNOW we have rather than fretting about what ancient writings that AREN'T scriopture suggest?
I don't know about anyone else, but living the Gospel we DO have is a full time job for me. I'll let Jesus worry about his own martital status... because whether he was or wasn't, HE didn't deem it important enough to include in the canon of Scripture... so it's basically none of our business. Let's worry about real life instead of speculating about what's NOT in the Bible.

In light of this startling revelation being passed off as nearly factual, I can't help but wonder if Catholics and other Christian Communities are now at liberty to: (a) riot in the streets, (b) murder the innocent, (c) burn down Harvard, (d) demand the current administration to profusely apologize and outlaw things like this, and (c) its leaders issue the equivalent of an Islamic Fatwa on the life of Karen King?!?
Get the point? Why is Islam treated so differently and the world cowers in fear to even comment on Islam. Yet, when it comes to Judaism, Christianity and numerous other religions despite when outright grotesque blasphemy's are published and/or supported as "Art" using U.S. tax dollars, everyone remains relatively calm and the ACLU says it's a matter of free-speech! I'm not condoning murder and riot, just pointing out that Western Democracies and citizens need to stop kowtowing to Islam and take a firm stand in telling them to grow up or pay the price as it will not be tolerated. Talk about Temper Tantrums!

Of course! Christ is married. He has many who call him their Spouse. Think about all of the Catholic Nuns that call him their spouse.

Friends first of all I am pleased by the kindness of your questions; I appreciate very much the tone. It would perhaps have been better for me, in making my overall arguments, to have gone out of my way a bit more in emphasizing the full humanity of Jesus, as several comments I got afterward thought I was downplaying the full humanity of Him when I said Jesus was never a human person. But in orthodox Catholic Christology Jesus was not, was never, a human person, and the Church in 1973 through the CDF even had to correct the theologianSchilleebeckx on this. This is well covered in Father James O'Connor's classic work on Christology entitled "The Father's Son". This is not at all to downplay the full humanity of Jesus Who we know was and is "fully God and at the same time fully man". But the assertion that He is a Divine Person and not a human person is crucially important. The demigod argument was here not so much a theological argument as rhetorical flourish, so you'll forgive me if I don't spend time arguing over that.
Now just because I prove that Jesus, despite His full humanity, is nonetheless not a human person doesn't mean in and of itself that I'm right in the overall argument that He couldn't (and not merely didn't or chose not to) marry carnally. I might still be wrong and if the true theology of the Church proves that then I submit. But, remember what I've contended:
1) Jesus was a Divine Person not a human person (yet was and still is and will ever be fully human)
2) marriage in the carnal human sense is reserved to human created persons, for 2 reasons: one is that in carnal human marriage between created human persons the marriage is the image of the personal self-gift in the trinity but not the same as that personal trinitarian self-gift. In other words one cannot be said to be both the created image of something and simultaneously also actually that same thing. But reason number 2 is more important, and that is that Jesus as a purely Divine uncreated Person (not human person) cannot enter into carnal marriage with a created human person. Marriage is the union of 2 created persons who by entering in, can image most suitably for created persons the personal self-gift that occurs between the Person of the Blessed Trinity (Adam found for himself a 'suitable helpmate". so the "desecration" isn't by virtue of marriage being somehow beneath humanity, which it isn't. And were it enough in order to marry that one merely have a body this wouldn't be so. But it is indeed necessary that one also be a human person, so in the sense developed by John Paul II. Jesus would not meet this criterion).
3) Therefore, it isn't just that Jesus merely took a vow of celibacy or deliberately chose to remain celibate even though he could have married (as happens with the consecrated for example), but rather that He never could marry. This may be, but I'm not sure, aided by the observation that the ordained cannot receive the sacrament of matrimony, but the married may be ordained. This needs to be developed further.
There is, for the theologians among you, a more substantive and weightier argument against what I have written -- though I don't think it disproves my argument overall -- and it is this: how is it that a mere created woman can be the mother of God but not the wife of God?
While traveling in a different city one time where they like to use inclusive language during the Mass, the priest reached the point of the Eucharistic prayer where priests normally would say, referring to Jesus, "...a Man like us in all things but sin", and instead said "a Person like us in all things but sin", and right away, I knew he had to be corrected, because in this case it was not an innocent change in the words, but was an erroneous statement. The reason is that as a Man, Jesus can be said to be like us in just about every way except that He doesn't sin, but as a Divine Person, He is infinitely different both by degree, and essence because He is all-knowing, eternal, all-powerful, etc.

There are serious Christological problems with this article. In attempting to debunk the so-called Gospel of Jesus' Wife, the author goes way too far in the other direction.

As we waste much of our time focusing on some writing that puts many negative aspects into our lives we tend to forget the teachings of love, hope, forgiveness, charity and peace by Christ in such a positive way. We need more focus on what we can do to stop all that is going on in the world than a small peice of paper from the fourth century. When he died at the foot of the cross, He said My peace I leave with you. What else do we need? The turmoil created by some who feel their opinion and self righteousness are doctrine and expressed in the media many times create a battleground for mankind. How shallow we are.

Since there is nothing in the Bible about Jesus ever having a wife it will take a lot to convince me that He did. I view this as just one more attempt by the left to debunk the Bible.

Mr. and Mrs.Jesus Christ of Karen L King appears ridiculous, denying the very 'Divinity' of the prestigious Institute 'Haward Divinity School' she is attached to. The argument leveled against the veracity of the content of the article in the Catholic on line is commendable. what baffles me is the time and tone of the revelation of the parchment, besides its mysterious source at this point of time. The fact that the 'parchment' written in coptic language states Jesus' saying," My wife....she will be able to be my disciple" seems to have some 'hidden agenda' for Karen King. In the past, she authored 'Gospel of Mary Magdeline ' and 'Gnosticism and Women in the antiquity'. Her writings thus indicate her hard core stand for ' Women's Ordination and the so called Liberation' that is prevalent today in the Protestant Church. I remember someone putting up a " pregnant Bishop or Pope" some times back. Secondly, the present move of the Pope to ' deepen the faith through New Generalization' might be a threat to some historians and theologians who wants to fight against ' celibacy' in the Church. The very fact that the Catholic Bible adopted many a 'apocrypha' and the 'relation of Mary Magdeline' with Jesus, despite knowing she as a " sinful woman' is being truly presented in the gospel indicates and vindicates the 'veracity' while selecting and codifying the Bible. So, for a reasonable man can never accept the content of the parchment as historically related to Jesus Christ.

FOX News is Relenting: Chris Wallace says, "Send Us Your Ron Paul e-mails!"Submitted by barracuda_trader on Mon, 10/10/2011 - 07:29
The Values Voter Straw Poll win is paying off in MSM credibility towards Ron Paul.
It's getting them to finally speak the truth that they've always known.

Can anyone tell me about a Sedway tour to Chankanaab State Park that Royal Carribean offers? We will be there Feb. 01, 2006. Also is Chankanaab Park a good place to snorkel?
I have no idea about the segwat tour but, Chankanaab is a very nice place. My understanding is that most of it is open from the storm damage. There are many activities there and it is a great place to snorkel. I would suggest that you just take a cab there on your own.

Lavender Kids Medical Bracelet

- I have small wrists, so I bought the kid's size and there was still room to spare. The adjustability is a big plus. I wish there were other "adult" looking prints available in the kid's sizes. I also think that I will stitch the loose ends to the band so that they will not flap loosely.

Unless otherwise noted, Open Meetings start at 8 PM. Guest are not charged admission to these meetings and should be told in advance that the dress code is business attire. IBOs are charged an admission fee and will be given a receipt for their tax records. This fee is applied to the cost of the room, sound equipment, and any other expenses associated with the meeting. After each seminar, guest will have an opportunity to meet with the speaker and ask questions. The speaker then conducts a training session, lasting for about an hour and open to any IBO who wants to take advantage of it. This not only benefits you locally but also provides access to training for people on your team all over the US and Canada. 2. Local and Regional Seminars: Seminars are half-day business conferences, presented four times per year on a regional basis. These conferences are devoted to a single speaker, chosen from the most successful IBOs in the organization. Seminars are divided into two parts. In the first half, the speaker tells their story, giving the background of their current success as an IBO. The second half is devoted to teaching the IBOs in the audience the fundamental steps to success in their own businesses. 3. Product Education Seminars: Ongoing product education is a key component of building a long-term business. Your line of sponsorship sponsors seminars on a regional basis throughout North America, along with product experts from the parent company. Better Life Institute (BLI) and other groups. These seminars are designed to maximize your knowledge about the products and services available through your business. Check with your sponsor for the latest information on product seminars in your area. 4. Team Meetings: Team Meetings are usually held on a monthly or bi-monthly basis and are designed to provide detailed training on how to get a quick start in launching your business. Dates, locations, and times for Team Meetings are announced through your line of sponsorship. You will learn to appreciate how beneficial it is to have Team Meetings, where successful business team members will teach your team the basics of how to make this business work.

Venue Info
Old Vic Theatre
The Old Vic Theatre is situated on the corner of The Cut and Waterloo Road, close to Waterloo rail and tube stations. Built in 1818, the international profile of this historic 1067 seat venue has been raised in recent years thanks to its association with its Artistic Director, Hollywood superstar Kevin Spacey.
The Old Vic's opening night took place nearly two centuries ago on May 18 1818, when it was known as the Royal Coburg Theatre. It featured a stylistic smorgasbord of performances: Midnight Revalry, a Harlequinade, Asiatic Ballet Alora and Nerine and a melodrama, Trial by Battle.
Like any long-serving institution, the Old Vic has experienced its fair share of changes over the years. It had been a success from the get-go as the Royal Coburg, but a tragic accident in 1858 caused the death of 16 patrons when they were trying to flee the theatre during a false fire alarm. For many years after the incident the theatre struggled until eventually it was sold in 1871.
The theatre reopened in 1871 as The New Victoria. Over the next few years the theatre went through a number of name changes including the Royal Victoria Coffee and Music Hall and the Royal Victoria Hall and Coffee Tavern before finally settling on The Old Vic.
During the London Blitz In 1941 the theatre sustained serious bomb damage, forcing its closure for almost a decade. It reopened in November 1950 as the temporary home of the National Theatre company.
From 1976 the Old Vic enjoyed great success as a receiving house (a theatre that hosts outside productions) before becoming a producing house once more in 2004.
Recent successes include As You Like It, The Tempest, A Flea in Her Ear, Richard III, The Playboy of the Western World, Noises Off and Democracy.
Whatever you decide to see at the Old Vic, we wish you an entertaining and rewarding visit.

That's a nice looking piece and if you are handy with wood working, you could probably make a really nice entertainment center out of it. There wasn't any picture of the lazy boy so I don't know what it looks like. All I know it's seem a bit tall for the tv.

Massadio Haidara scored in his first match in Newcastle United colours in the victory over a young Stoke City side in Group 2.
The left-back, who was signed from Nancy last month, gave the home side an early lead after an overlapping run and Adam Campbell and Jonathyn Quinn added the others to give Willie Donachie's side their first win since October. Donachie also fielded Sammy Ameobi, Nile Ranger and James Tavernier, while Greg Olley and Rolando Aarons made their debuts.
After going 2-0 down at half-time a Stoke side containing a couple of triallists in midfield put up greater resistance in the second half but could not get on the scoresheet.
Newcastle United report | Stoke City report
West Ham United returned to winning ways after a defeat by Tottenham Hotspur last week with an Elite Group victory over West Bromwich Albion at Rush Green.
Victory was secured with goals from Elliot Lee, the son of former Premier League player Rob Lee, and Wellington Paulista. The Brazilian's goal was his third in three matches for the Under-21s. Nick Haycock, the West Ham Development Squad coach, was just as pleased with the clean sheet.
"I said I wanted a high intensity performance, play the game in the opposition's half and to make sure that we got a clean sheet," he told the club's website. "We gave a few loose goals away against Tottenham."
David Oldfied, West Brom's development coach, tried to draw comfort from the defeat. "We're disappointed with the result but we had a young group playing and they worked hard," he told the club's website. "We played well in patches, especially in the first half, and we were unfortunate to concede on the stroke of half-time.
"We didn't play so well in the second half but the boys keep learning."

The Mirror's photo of a crying child isn't what it seems, but this is no hoax
The paper used the tears of an American girl to sell its story on child hunger in the UK - so what?
Not for the first time, the Daily Mirror finds itself accused of using a misleading image on the front page of its newspaper today. An arresting picture of a distressed child is used to highlight a report on poverty in Britain in 2014. The written report is itself a fine example of the paper's long tradition of campaigning for the socially disadvantaged.
But the noble intention of highlighting the fact that 330,000 food parcels have been distributed to hungry children this year has been undermined as the heart-rending photograph of a young girl with a crumpled face turned out to be.
An American called Anne who appeared in pictures shared on the popular photography site Flickr in 2009. The woman who uploaded the images, Lauren Rosenbaum, posted a touching story in which she explained that the tears were the result of a lost earthworm which Anne had found in the park and nicknamed "Flower". In other lovingly-taken photographs, Anne is shown to living an apparently happy, almost enchanted life.
The loss of "Flower" the earthworm in an American park in 2009 is hardly the picture to illustrate a front page story that reads: "Britain 2014. We're the sixth largest economy in the world. We have more millionaires than ever before…So why have we handed out ONE MILLION food parcels? And new figures reveal 330,000 went to hungry children…shock report pages 4&5".
I have some sympathy with the Mirror. The poverty issue is a real one – and no doubt there were genuine tears this morning from kids pained with hunger in contemporary Britain. But trying to take a picture of a crying hungry child with the consent of parents who might feel in some way responsible for that hunger is an assignment that would challenge any news photographer. It's the sort of picture that might result from the kind of long embedded investigation that the media rarely has the resources for these days.
The Mirror decided to use an emotive generic picture of a crying child. The paper would have understood that its worthy report would have lacked impact without illustration to pull on the heart strings of its readers. So it obtained the image of Anne from the respected global picture agency Getty which, with the permission of the girl's parents, offered it as part of its vast library as a stock representation of a crying child.
The paper's logic in using a stock picture was sound enough. Had the shot been of, say, "Rosie, 5, from Leeds" it might have won admiration from photo-journalists but the Mirror would almost certainly have drawn criticism for exploiting a real British child and worsening their plight by putting them on the front page of a paper.
The paper didn't caption the picture and in days gone by, before Google and Flickr, Anne would probably never have been identified.
But the revelation of the photo's genesis is uncomfortable for the Mirror because it has a track record in using front page pictures of questionable provenance. Only this month it had to apologise to a software developer when it published a picture of him holding a giant rat at his home in London and claimed the shot depicted a pest controller in Liverpool.
A decade ago, it infamously splashed faked pictures of British soldiers abusing an Iraqi captive in the back of an Army lorry. The pictures were later revealed to have been taken not in Iraq but in Preston as part of a "calculated and malicious hoax" which eventually led to the sacking of then Mirror editor Piers Morgan.
The dissemination on social media of the history of this latest Mirror front page picture won't help the paper's future ability to have impact on the news-stand. But the Mirror's intentions here were good – and there is no case for suggesting that the current editor Lloyd Embley should suffer the same fate as Piers.

As part of the University of Georgia's Year 2000 millennial...
Georgia Botanical Society
In 1926 the Georgia Botanical Society was founded in Atlanta by Eugene Scofield Heath with the following goals: to promote the understanding and appreciation of plants and their relationship to the environment; to undertake or support the setting apart of appropriate areas in Georgia for the preservation of endangered plant species and significant botanical habitats; and to promote the conservation of botanical resources and encourage the practice of a conservation ethic.
Field trips are offered by the society for botanical education and enjoyment to anyone interested in Georgia's native plants. These trips (scheduled throughout the year) are held across Georgia from the mountains to the coast. Most of the approximately 400 members are not professional botanists but enjoy learning about the state's native plants.
The society publishes a newsletter, BotSoc News, six times a year plus a special wildflower pilgrimage issue. It includes detailed information about upcoming field trips, as well as reports from previous field trips. BotSoc News also includes items about Georgia botany and botanists, and features articles on native plants. The botanical magazine Tipularia is published once a year and documents the interesting plants, places, and people in Georgia botany.

Whisky with a taste of iodine
Hello -
Tried a couple of single malts recently for the first time. The ones I gravitated towards had a slight iodine taste. It was kind of intriguing. Anyone tell me which distillers are kown for having this taste in their whisky?
That peaty, iodine-y tast is ususally associated with Islay ("eye-luh") malts.
Try Laphroig, Lagavullin, or Bowmore. There are others that are more obscure, but these are the onles yo are most likely to find, especially the first 2.
my vote goes for caol ila. although less well known than some, it's in widely available in the usa now. never call it an iodine taste to a distiller, they hate that description! (even though it fits)
The strongest iodine component I've ever tasted was in an older (16-year?) Laphroaig that was served at a tasting many years ago. It was too much for me, bringing to mind Band-Aids and plastic pool toys. But if you're really into that style, and if they still bottle it, it may be worth a try.
re: alanbarnes
Wholeheartedly agree with what has been said. You are tasting the peatiness of the sctoch's made from Islay and I would say the peatiest (is that a word?) would have to be Laphroaig, followed by Bowmore. Talisker, for me, has the right level of peatiness and is excellent. I still remember my first encounter with single-malt scotch was a 10 yr. old Laphroaig, BAM! quite an introduction it was!
Look up "iodine" in the dictionary: that illustration is a picture of the 16-year old Lagavullin.
Try Ledaig. My new found best friend. Great iodine and a really long finish. Drink it slowly and savor the goodness.
