07.11.05 - By Wray Edwards: Fresh back from Lake Tahoe, and after a good nights sleep, the mind begins to clear from the jet-lag, the roar of slot machines and the chaotic jostle of promoters, Showtime reps, writers, photographers and arena security. What first emerges is greater clarity about what one has just witnessed. The immediate tasks of editing photos and meeting a writing deadline, make it all but impossible to competently reflect on the subtle, but possibly more important impressions which were, at first, swamped by the swirling excitement after the fight.
Now is a good time to share those impressions as they bubble to the surface. First, this writer has been to countless post-fight news conferences, but never one like this. There was an expectant electricity in the room which surpassed almost every other. Of course everybody wants to be enfolded in the glow of immediate victory and the enthusiasm for more and more of all that triumph brings.. Before we get to the Tyson comparison, it is imperative to review a few FACTS about Jeff Lacys support base. True, it is only he who enters the ring to face his destiny, but in order to do so with optimum opportunity for success, a good boxer needs more than raw talent and power to become a great one.
The dictum of caution that Pride cometh before a fall must be weighed against the statement that, There is a tide in the affairs of men when, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures ~ William Shakespeare. Mr. Shaw, Mr. Birmingham and Mr. Lacy know full-well what that means, and they do not intend to miss the boat.
To our right was the entrance to the press conference room. During the meeting, if one looked out that door, there could be seen a swelling crowd of new fans of Jeff Lacy, and of the sport of boxing itself. In their eyes were looks reserved only for the most famous and talented humans on the planet. Rock stars, war heroes, Lindburg, presidents, kings and queens all inspire such adulation. And so too, now, does Champion Boxer Jeffrey Scott Lacy inspire such lustful adulation. Danger! Danger Will Robinson!
What must one do to follow the Bards advice, while avoiding the pitfalls of improper associations with vacuous groupies, conniving money managers, pushy reporter/photographers and all who would take selfish advantage of one? In Jeffs case, get a good trainer and then find or be found by a good manager. Lacy has done just that. Mr. Birmingham and Mr. Shaw are the perfect combination for Jeff. Every Lacy fight venue the author has had the privilege of visiting, was operated with near perfection. This requires an authority, in place, with the requisite experience and motivation assure such quality.
There is one, and only one person responsible, in Jeffs case, for such successes, Gary Shaw. With the aid of people like Fred Stermburg of Sternburg Communications, and Chris and Rudy from Showtime, the physical facilities, event staff and media management have been, for the most part, impeccable. On the boxing team side of things, Dan Birmingham has selected the right equipment, the right sparring partners, the right conditioner and the best training emphasis to create the optimum setting to get the most out of Jeff and his current potential. BTW the author has no intention of gleaning anything other than professional respect from any person mentioned. Anything else is just icing on the cake.
Only serious boxing fans will recognize or even care about these realities. The sport has many problems such as weight-shifting, alphabet sanctions, blurred divisional discipline, inconsistent judging and disassociated statutory and national commissions, but superior managers and trainers can overcome these problems and make each boxing event they control to be successful and credible. By witnessing enough events in person and on TV, one may, if motivated, discover the reasons why they are successful and credible.
There are essentially three kinds of boxers, and boxing events. They are, in order of importance to the sport: Professional, such as the Shaw organization; Amateur, such as Catholic Youth, Golden Gloves and the Olympics; and lastly Barnum-style, hype events. The reader is invited to fill in the blanks regarding the last category. The sport, of course, really needs the first two to thrive and survive. Any confusion of the categories, such as when a potentially great boxer gets mixed up with a shallow hype organization, leads on to disaster and even tragedy.
The nuts and bolts of boxing success are well known. Along with those things mentioned above, one must include, to be a true professional, the following things which, by the way, typify the Lacy career. Jeff stays in shape pretty much all the time like a basketballer. The roundball season is very long and expects its players to participate in high frequency. True Jeff does not fight three or four times a week, but he is one of a new breed of PROFESSIONAL fighters who don't just blow up between fights, and then wrack themselves to get to some silly, arbitrary weight, only to pack on the pounds of a weight class two or three divisions higher before the fight.
Jeff Lacy walks around closer to his division requirement than most fighters. That is professional. Jeff works out almost all the time for two reasons: It makes him stronger as a boxer (a good thing) and he actually enjoys the process. That is professional. Lastly, Jeff is, essentially, a good person. He is one of those rare people who can turn into a well-oiled monster in the boxing ring, and then, out of the ring, be a soft-eyed, friendly and responsibly generous, normal guy. That is indeed rare.
His power and skill are prompting ever increasing comparisons to Mike Tyson. As noted a day or two ago, Jeff has become a champion six or seven years later in life so that he is able to manage success with more maturity. His family background was more stable and he inherits, to some degree, his boxing from his father, who was a fighter himself, and, ironically, got his son into the sport when Jeff was sent to a boxing gym as punishment for street fighting.
That became a seminal event in Jeffs life as he was whipped by a smaller guy. To his credit, he was smart enough to become curious how the other kid had done that. Instead of reacting with frustration and a rejecting attitude, he set about learning the skills which now serve him so well. This guy is smart. He is a prevailer not a survivor. Whats the difference? G. Gorden Liddy in his book When I Was a Kid, This Was a Free Country defines survivors as those who merely wish to get by; Sort of a minimum effort mentality. A prevailer is one who hardly knows when to quit, and gives his all for victory and success, usually in the service of others. Jeff Lacy is of the latter class of men.
Tyson, IMO, became enamored of the adulation in general, and in specific was unwisely generous to, perhaps, acquire the affection he so desperately missed in childhood. When he took the keys to the Escalade belonging to the brother-in-law of this writer, and left camp to return to the social whirl of Marina Del Rey, it was probably to get back to the reassuring company of adulation, rather than remain in the Spartan isolation of high-mountain training. It is a setting which now precludes, for him, successful dedication to the sport. Jeff Lacy is able to combine the two.
Every time we meet with him, it is obvious that he wearies of mere talk about the sport and, truly, is able to back up the old cliché I will let my hands do the talking in the ring. When one is tempted to draw parallels between Tyson and Lacy, it is only in the ring that such concepts are valid. Kevin Kincades excellent series on Mike, details full well much of the history of the Iron Man. With those statements in mind perhaps a practical comparison might be appropriate.
Mike has a two inch height advantage (511 to 59). Jeff makes up for that with a three inch reach advantage (74 to 71). Their muscle bulk to height ratio is key here. Both are orthodox in stance and have very tight, bunchy, high leverage punching skills. Jeff hits from the floor just as Mike did in his early successes. In fact Gary Shaw mentioned that during the press conference. Boxers who can thrust, in a balanced fashion, from the floor, transferring power first to legs and hips, then to the torso, shoulder, arm and fist are like a great baseball pitcher who does, basically, the same thing.
This skill, combined with the blind accuracy exhibited by early Mike and present day Jeff, makes for devastating contact. Reviewing films of Mikes KOs and Jeffs KOs reveals a tantalizing similarity. Their general physiques regarding muscle size and bone-length ratios are very close. Their striking positions during the more powerful KOs, look like instant replays of each other.
There is a great possibility that Jeff Lacy will become a Boxing icon. His successes in the ring, combined with his winning smile and clever conversation are ready made for boxing history. He is articulate and intelligent about the sport and his obligation to properly represent it. Should he continue to prevail, the tide of his success will raise all ships in the boxing harbor. He will, if this happens, continue the recent decades of the decline of the heavyweight division. That is a good thing, for only the naïve boxing fan still clings disproportionately to heavyweight chauvinism.
It would be capitol for the sport of Boxing for Jeff to increase its popularity through great bouts. Then, true greatness, at any weight, will be recognized and not be overshadowed by contests which merely adore size for its own sake. The current shambles of the HD is only serving to hasten that trend. Good! Of course its a lot to ask, but if anyone is up to the task, it will be the Mayweathers, Castillos, Wrights, Cottos, Hattons and others who will help drive the sports resurgence.
From Corbitt, Johnson, Robinson, Hagler, Hearns, Leonard, Ali, Tyson, and others to Jeff Lacy, the boxing torch must be passed with little regard for size or weight, but with an emphasis on all that boxing portrays. The courage, skill, heart and power of single combat warriors have, and always will, represent the most human enterprise: that of any soul who confronts adversity and prevails. Once again: Boxing treads the fine line between civilization and anarchy, and in doing so, instructs us with a severe mentality. Limbaughs often voiced opinion that, This planet is ruled by the aggressive use of force applies in almost every circumstance.
We are being reminded daily that romantic, family and social love can only exist in a safe-house protected by the threat or use of force. To ensure peace, prepare for war. Jeff Lacy is now entering territory where, added to his power, skill and determination during a fight, his opponents have already been struck by trepidations from having seen what Lacy has done to others. This is yet another similarity he shares with the Tyson of yesteryear. You can be sure there are already belt-holding boxers out there who are starting to lay awake nights dreading the day their manager brings up the subject of Jeff Both Hooks Lacy (thank you poster). See you at the fights.

City may formally oppose offshore drilling
Date: October 2, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
City Commissioners will discuss a resolution Monday Oct. 5 that would oppose the approval of offshore oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico in areas other than those already approved for it.
The resolution would also support the current policy of not allowing the expansion of oil and gas drilling in the Gulf and would encourage the use of alternative energy sources, such as solar.
The city cites the fact that the local economy depends on tourism, so it wants to keep the water free of "unsightly oil rigs" and the possibility of oil spills.
Currently 1 Response
- 1.
- I think it's unnecessary to oppose such exploration/drilling. Last I read, any such platforms would be 25 or more miles offshore, placing them beyond the horizon line from view, save maybe for a top-mounted blinking warning light.
We have a continental shelf in this area that goes out into the Gulf up to 120 miles, plenty of room out there for the activity with minimal possibility of any oil spill reaching shore.

When I make a game with my friends, in the lobby it has nearly 1300 wins listed. I would say 5/6 or so of those are on the Twisted Treeline. I played it almost exclusively with my two best friends IRL an hour or two every day for months and well...
I think I'm done with it. I don't really like 5v5, but I love LoL, so I guess I have no other options, really (Dominions great but not the same).
This ridiculous health stacking meta game has made the already way overpowered bruiser teams almost literally the only way to win on the map. All of my favorite champions are useless.
Bluntly put, 3v3 is broken.
You can't play AP casters anymore. You can't play ADC anymore. You're squishy, deal less damage later, and suck early on.
Evey game it's always Pantheon, Darius, Garen, Wukong, Jayce, etc. Basically 3500 health bricks running around with Black Cleaver, Maw of Malmortius, Mercurial Scimitar, Frozen Mallet, Runic Bulwark, Ravenous Hydra, and so on..
It's just impossible to wear them down, and the turrets do no damage. You can get turret dove and killed as early as level 3 or 4.
I mean, even Xerath won't help bring down their health. They can still deal more damage to me before I can nuke them down--and my Xerath build on TT hits nearly 700 AP and over 250 Armor, max CDR, and includes a Blackfire Torch.
Until bruisers and/or their items get nerfed, 3v3 just isn't fun anymore. It started out great on the Shadow Isles...then everyone figured out that you could stack Black Cleavers, and it's been just downhill from there.
It's pretty depressing and disheartening, I've got probably 60 days of play time on my account, almost all on TT, and my favorite mode is virtually unplayable.
I like you guys at Riot quite a lot you guys make my favorite game and are pretty community involved... That said, I can't help feel a little ignored because bruisers were supposed to be fixed and they're stronger than ever.
Can we talk about fixing this? I don't mean to try and be rude but I feel like others feel the same way.
Two things: 1) The health meta is relatively new, and it affects 5v5 just as equally. 2) An all bruiser team will not win. We always run at least 1 AP. 3 AD bruisers is extremely counterable.
We like to run 2 APs when we can, but if the matchup isn't right we'll do 1 AP 1 ADC.
Almost always have a bruiser in the jungle though, simply because of their solid initiation.
Shinzo Ningen
My team typically runs 2 AP bursters and a bruiser. Bruiser up top, AP Carry bot, and AP Burst (Or Hybrid Carry, if my bursters get banned) in jungle. There has not been a game that I haven't contributed to getting our team First Blood, yet.
Play ranked, ban the champs you don't want to see. There are still some viable casters and adc champs you just don't seem to be good with them. and it doesn't hurt to branch out your selection.
Junior Member
Jayce doesn't really build that tanky though. He sacrifices damage if he does (has low base damage but high ratios).
Unlike Xin Zhao, who will rush Mallet + Stinger and still kill you.
Or Garen and Darius, who can build Frozen Mallet + Randuins and still do good damage and farm well, while being hard to kill.

Presidents' Trophy banners fly forever
Thomas Drance
July 28 2014 12:40PM
The Vancouver Canucks' new management team seems content with what they've accomplished so far this offseason, based on how they've operated over the past three weeks. Since locking up arbitration eligible defenseman Chris Tanev in early July, the club has been content to lock up 2014 first-round draft selections Jake Virtanen and Jared McCann to entry-level contracts and take care of the housekeeping in Utica (with deals for guys like Brandon DeFazio). The Canucks roster as it stands, is the one we'll see on the ice to start next season.
On the surface its been an offseason of upheaval, punctuated by a new president, a new general manager, a new coach, a new friendly but decisive style of operating, a new franchise villain, a new oft-criticized star goaltender, and a handful of new players - none of them, really, top-of-the-lineup pieces (Radim Vrbata, aside). Looking a bit deeper though, at least in terms of the organization's posture heading into next season and the into future, the changes seem cosmetic.
In the big picture, what's the difference between the 'reset' of the summer of 2013 and the 'retool and reenergize' of the past six weeks? Cap space and decisive action. Aside from that, the goals of the franchise and the identity of the core is unchanged.
Let's unpack this a bit further after the jump.
Robby Fabbri, Nikita Scherbak and how QoT can impact draft stock
Thomas Drance
June 24 2014 01:01PM
What follows is a guest post written by @bryan_nikkel and @moneypuck_ on the subject of how playing for an excellent team in the CHL impacts player production, which in turn impacts how teams and scouts value draft eligible players. Are there any hidden gems leading the attack with little help for overmatched CHL teams whom the Canucks might target with the second round pick?
Linden's Web: the Canucks might not be a cap team, and other nuggets from Linden's 1040 appearance Friday
Thomas Drance
June 20 2014 11:40AM
Canucks president Trevor Linden was interviewed at length on the Team 1040 on Friday morning. As you might expect, we have a bunch of scattered thoughts about some of the topics discussed, so read past the jump for that.
It makes sense to shop Jordan Schroeder, but he should be qualified
Thomas Drance
June 19 2014 01:21PM
The Vancouver Canucks are reportedly shopping undersized, underachieving 2009 first round draft pick Jordan Schroeder, according to the News 1130 Sports twitter account. It's not a huge surprise to hear that the organization aren't counting on a player like Schroeder going forward - he's a diminutive natural centre, who has battled a myriad of injuries already in his career, and hasn't produced like a future top-six mainstay since he left college.
That the organization is "very unlikely" to extend the soon to be 24-year-old forward a qualifying offer, which News 1130 Sports is also reporting on Wednesday, is a bit of an eyebrow raiser though. We'll wade into it after the jump.
Ryannuendo: The Kesler Saga has already told us a lot about Vancouver's new hockey ops. team
Thomas Drance
June 16 2014 03:00PM
It's tough to preview an offseason, or gauge the likelihood of certain moves, when the new faces of Vancouver Canucks hockey operations - particularly new general manager Jim Benning and new president Trevor Linden - have shallow track records as top NHL decision makers. Linden has already proven himself an effective salesman and alliance builder in his new job, but he's never worked in an NHL front office (or any hockey front office for that matter). We've seen Benning give advice in documentary snippets from hockey operations meetings, but this is his first go as an NHL general manager.
Though Linden and Benning have given a myriad of interviews since taking over, we know little about their plans or preferences. Come to think of it, I don't think anyone even has a good sense even of how the dynamic duo's internal decision making process is going to work.
There's one major data point available to us, however, and it speaks volumes. It's the way that Ryan Kesler saga has, to this point, unfolded.

After a few years spent out of the public eye, Margaret Thatcher seems to be everywhere this summer.
Last month the former PM was in Rome meeting with the Pope, and prior to that she attended two official events with the Queen – the Castle of May patrons' garden party and the Order of Merit celebrations.
And on Thursday the 83-year-old was out and about again, taking part in the Founders day celebrations at the Royal Chelsea Hospital.
The gathering, which was also attended by the Queen's cousin, Princess Alexandra, is held every year on a day close to May 29 – the birth date of Charles II, who founded the hospital in December 1681.

Recommend me a new car

Posted 11 January 2013 - 06:40 PM
So it looks like I could be in the market for a new car. Having had a cars outside the norm for the past few years, I have no idea what's around. I'd be looking for 4 doors, preferably a sedan and not hatchback or sport back, fuel efficiency not a huge concern, and not after a lightweight 'bubble' car I.e. the Getz or Nissan Micra. If second hand, prepared to spend up to about $15 000. If new, up to $25 000. I'm thinking the VW Polo, Golf, or Jetta, Corolla, Vectra, but have yet to do any in depth research. Recommendations please!
Posted 11 January 2013 - 08:00 PM
What about the Mazda 3 sedan?
I bought a new mazda 3 last year and I LOVE it! (although I bought a hatch)
Posted 11 January 2013 - 08:07 PM
i have had a vw golf and polo when i was living in the UK. Have no car here at the moment. However I LOVE those cars. The Golf is bigger and bigger boot the polo barley fitted my pram. They are an easy drive, reliable and so freaking economical. I really miss my car
Posted 11 January 2013 - 08:29 PM
I have a VW jetta (diesel). I love it. Got it new and have had it for 5yrs now. Never had a problem. Boot is massive for a small car. Very comfortable to fit my family of four and have been known to stick the kids car seats next to each other and have an adult in the back seat with them. Fuel economy is great. I get around 800k's on a tank. Averages 6.9litres per 100k's. less if I did more longer distance driving.
Posted 11 January 2013 - 09:07 PM
Those replies don't help me decide! lol. I've just been drooling on the Mazda website and looking at the 3 with the SP25 luxury pack. Unfortunately, it takes me over budget but, compared to the Audi A4 I really really really want (again), it's considerably cheaper and therefore I may have a chance of swaying DH.
Posted 11 January 2013 - 09:11 PM
Another vote for Mazda 3.
Posted 11 January 2013 - 09:12 PM
I would either get a Mazda 3 or a VW Golf.
Have fun deciding
Posted 11 January 2013 - 09:15 PM
What about a small SUV?
Nissan X-Trail, 0% finance - brand new.
You said you didn't want hatch, so the Golf is out.
Mum has Mazda 3 and it's very low, so for me, getting in and out at 37w pg and putting DD in and out, it's too hard.
We've ended up with a Jeep Patriot $30k drive away and bought DH a 3yo Subaru Impreza ($15k)...
We're happy with both.
Posted 11 January 2013 - 09:16 PM
Six months ago I bought a brand new Toyota Prius C. I had looked at various cars including the VW's, Subaru Impreza and a few others. I settled on the Prius C after much MUCH deliberation......my main aim was to use less fuel and the Prius definitely does that. It's also very technologically advanced and ypu get a lot of really cool stuff included. I use it to drive to work and back (around 40 kms per day on a country highway) and as a weekend runaround. I've been very, very happy with my choice, it's a beautiful car.

My bold. We already have a touring 4wd, so don't need another SUV-type vehicle.

We have a Golf and and Audi Q5. I often get an A4 as my courtesy car. Both are nice but...
The Golf wins hands down. Great fuel economy. Flip the seats down and it's got a huge load capacity, and it's easy to park. Plus the better price tag. And both our kids fit comfortably in the back with the driver and passenger seats pushed almost all the way back. DH and I are both 5'9" and I can sit in the back and have no issues with legroom
I think the Audi is over priced.
FYI. The Golf and Audis are built in the same factory and many of the trims are identical. IE. the electric window buttons on the Q5 are the same as the Golf.

Had a look at VW today and nothing there took my eye, so that's the Golf, Polo, and Jetta out of the way.
Currently trying to decide between a new Hyundai i30 or 2012 plated Mazda 3.
Posted 12 January 2013 - 02:29 PM
Renault megane. A great car and lots of little extras that come as standard even in a base model.
Posted 12 January 2013 - 02:36 PM
My mechanic husband would say the Toyota or the Mazda. Just be mindful about boot size and spare tyre size.
ETA he would also go the Hyundai as well they have come along way the last 3 years.
Edited by MrsLexiK, 12 January 2013 - 02:37 PM.
Posted 12 January 2013 - 02:41 PM
Mazda 3 definitely.
Posted 12 January 2013 - 02:46 PM
You definately need to make sure you test drive a Mazda 3. And the boot on the sedan is seriously huge. It doesn't look it from the outside but it is.
Posted 12 January 2013 - 02:50 PM
I have owned a Corolla and quite liked that.
Have looked at the Mazda 3 and like the look of them.
Nissan are bringing back their Pulars at the end of the month early next month.
I had a 2000 model and it was nice to drive.
Posted 13 January 2013 - 01:53 PM
Argh! The dealer can do a new Mazda 6 for the same price as a 3 SP25. Now I need to go research that one.
Is it over yet?

These would be my picks as well. Good European quality cars ! Only because we have a VW Golf.
VW Golf diesel has great fuel economy. Husband gets just over 1,000ks on one tank. Fast as well !

I had a second hand BMW 1 series. It was a dream to drive. Only sold it to fit in more car seats. Seriously good car. Servicing and parts can be pricey though,
Posted 13 January 2013 - 02:03 PM
I have owned 3 VW Golf's, and now drive (sometimes) a 2009 VW Jetta (Also a VW Passat...think we like VW's much? Years ago we even had a '76 Kombi van....). All Diesels, bar 1 petrol Golf.
Personally I think the Golf is better then the Jetta - though essentially the same car, I think the build quality is better on the Golf. I have driven a new 2012 Jetta and still think the Golf is better. You will find that comparable 2nd hand Golf's are dearer then the Jetta's.
I also think the Golf looks better and I have dubbed my Jetta the "Pensioner car".
Go Golf I say.

I love my honda civic sedan. It is beautiful to drive, cheap to run & cost less than some of the others you are looking at.

fuel efficiency not a huge concern
I think full efficiency should be top priority.
I'm thinking the VW Polo, Golf, or Jetta
We have owned Golf and Jetta (TDi) in the past and our current one is Polo (TDi) all bought brand new, cant fault any of them (that's why we stick to VW!) safe and cheap to run; our Polo costs us $55/month.
I would not recommend Hyundai i20, i45 weve driven heaps as our hired cars, they look good but performance wise very poor.
Another no no is Toyota Prius, weve driven for 3 months when we moved back to Sydney, the car is umm big for nothing.
Posted 13 January 2013 - 02:58 PM
Golf is probably the sensible choice and a great car.
Audi's are overpriced new - but second hand you should be able to get a really nice A3 sportback (4 door)
I have one ... brought new which was a waste considering the amount of km''s i do ... but i love it, big enough but small enough IYKWIM

Your Classroom Is Not an Airplane!
I was flying back from a conference the other day, and I noticed something very bizarre. As I waited for the plane to take off, I saw that the panel above me looked different than usual. Upon further inspection, I realized that the No Smoking sign had been replaced with this instruction: "Turn off Electronic Devices." It made me smile because I could see that I was on a newer plane -- and because I know there are teachers all over the country that wish they could have this sign blinking in their room at all times.
There are teachers out there that feel like their class will crash and burn if they allow students to use electronic devices in their room. That seems like a crazy exaggeration, but I have talked with more than a few teachers that want nothing to do with any form of technology in their classroom. It's time for teachers to stop being afraid of technology and start looking at the ways it can make the classroom experience more engaging for everyone involved.
Here are some suggestions for those that are willing to turn off the No Electronic Devices sign.
1) Start Small
Try and find a tool that is easy for you to use and fits well into your curriculum and lesson. You need to feel comfortable if you want your students to feel comfortable.
2) Practice Makes Perfect
Try the tool out for a while. "One and done" is no way to try anything, especially a piece of technology where repetition generally leads to greater understanding.
3) Ask Your Students
Your students are a great source of information on wonderful web tools and the technology that is already a big part of their lives. Allowing students to take ownership of integrating technology ideas into the classroom can be a great experience for everyone.
4) Reach Out
There are many great educators on Twitter and other social media platforms that have experience with using electronic devices in the classroom. See what they have done and see how it could work in your class.
There is a place and a time for electronic devices on a plane. As the captain of your classroom, it's time to consider turning off the sign and letting your passengers enjoy the flight.

Bulgarian Forestry Official Sacked for Lobbyist Infringement
The Head of the Changes in the Use of Forest Territories Department at the Bulgaria Executive Forestry Agency, Georgi Kotarev, has been fired.
bTV reports Wednesday that the dismissal happened after it has emerged that moraines and pastures in the Vitosha mountain near the capital Sofia have been converted into ski tracks in cadastral maps.
The changes occurred after the latest amendments to the contentious Forestry Act that stirred large-scale protests in the country in the summer.
The public pressure led to the Forestry Act's being re-adopted by the Parliament with the controversial amendments scrapped.
According to Bulgarian eco activists, the recent changes could trigger two infringement procedures against Bulgaria from the European Commission.
A meeting between Prime Minister, Boyko Borisov, Agriculture Minister, Miroslav Naydenov, and environmentalists has been held Wednesday morning where the above changes have been one of the items on the agenda.
Naydenov has confirmed that Kotarev has been fired, adding he has ordered a probe in the case, and if the claims of the eco activists are proven to be true, the changes will be annulled.

For those of you who don't know, sheesha is tobacco which is smoked through a hose that's connected to a large water pipe that sits on the ground. It's a big part of Middle Eastern culture and is usually shared with friends over coffee or tea. It comes in heaps of different flavours and Dane and I had tried several of them. Being ...

They are happy with his removal and supported the military decision to oust him. They, however, are unhappy with the US for cutting aid to the government, as Egypt and the US are supposed to be close allies, and I was asked several times why. I explained, to the best of my ability, that under international law it was a coup (military removing ...

Then a buffet lunch and then to the pyramids. they are right outside of town which was a surprise, but in the desert. Got to climb on one of them and had a sand storm but I thought that just added to the experience. Rode a camel!! Then to the Sphinx. Did a little shopping and then ...

The first one I pick out (and show him the initials I want on), comes in at a price (with our bus discount) of $1500. No, that is not the one I want.

Jennifer Aniston celebrated her 45th birthday in February and its a testament to the actress' enduring hotness that she can still go out in public without makeup and look better than stars half her age.
That's Jen on the set of her new movie Cake, rocking a makeup free face and a frumpy sweater. Okay, she may not look as good as she does at her glammed-up best, but not only is Jen one of the only actresses in Hollywood still enjoying a thriving career in her mid-forties, she could easily pass for 10 years younger!
Jen continues to make headlines for her private life (the latest drama is her possible breakup with Justin Theroux) but she also continues to land plum roles in a wide variety of successful films.
In Cake - the movie she's shooting now the Anna Kendrick and Sam Worthington - Jen plays a member of a support group for people suffering from chronic pain. Sounds, um...funny?

DAYTONA BEACH, Florida — A 31-year-old woman who killed two sisters in a DUI crash has been sentenced to 20 years in prison.
On Tuesday, Circuit Judge R. Michael Hutcheson also ordered that Terra Goodier's prison term will be followed by 10 years of probation during which she cannot drink alcohol or go to bars.
The Daytona Beach News-Journal (http://bit.ly/1sfU2Xo ) reports Goodier's blood alcohol content was 0.106 percent when she drove the wrong way down a highway and crashed into a car carrying Linda Johnson and her sister Christine Enright on Jan. 12, 2012.
