|Nanao Township, Yilan
I've been living in Yilan now for two months and am loving it here. My friend from Tainan came up to visit his wife's family in Yilan and of course we met up. Our biggest obstacle was figuring out which beach, mountain, hot springs, river, lake to spend the day with our kids.
I have a nice map from the very reliable, efficient, English speaking Tourist info center outside the Yilan train station and I've been studying it, ticking off places as I go, asking my new workers their recommendations and enjoying the pristine outdoors.
I already went to Wulai Beach (see previous post Little Gems) and have been so busy exploring Yilan county, I haven't time to return except last Sunday to see how the coming typhoon was affecting the waves. (The beach patrol wouldn't let us on the beach, so we just admired from afar.)
|Yongzhen Park and Trail
|Neipei Beach from the Suhua Highway
I was not expecting Neipei Beach outside Suao to be so stunning. There is no sand, just small pebbles and stones, but the surrounding rocks are gorgeous and the beach is long enough for us to find some quiet alone time far from the crowds. There are cafes and simple restaurants are on one end for a quick pick me up. The other end has rocks and places to picnic in the shade of a cliff. On a holiday weekend, we had the entire Pacific, at least this bit to ourselves.
My beach list includes is returning to Wulai for surfing and sunrise yoga and to explore Beigan Tidal Park and the Wushibi coast.
There is a trail outside Nanfang'ao . Just park your car across from the massive pool. At the top are amazing views of the Yilan coast, picnic tables, hammocks. I am thinking it would make a great camping spot.
|Yilan Coast view from a hike
The Linmei Shihpan Trail (林美石磐薄荷烤雞餐廳) is simple, about an hour loop with a pretty little waterfall. There is one set of verticle trails, but other than that is a perfect trail for young children.
|View from Renshan Gardens
Between Loudong and Suao is the Renshan Botanic Garden (宜蘭仁山植物園). It was nothing what I expected. I expected something like the Botanic Gardens in Taipei or Denver, but this place was huge. I think we entered it wrong and before we knew it, we were doing some hardcore hiking with little water or preparation, The grounds are massive.
We didnt see a single soul for hours until the end. The French and English style gardens were in the bare minimalist style, nothing was in bloom, but we saw macaques,and alien looking spiders. The view from Renshan to Turtle island with the verdant, fertile valley of the Yilan plain is the quintessential picture of Yilan.
On my garden list to do is explore the Fushan Botanical Gardens west of Yilan City, which requires a special permit.
I went twice to the famous Wufongqi waterfalls and returned to that area and hiked another trail to the more impressive, hard to get to Yuemeikeng Waterfalls.
Outside Loudong there is the Xinliao Waterfalls down the road from the Renshan Botanic Gardens.
|Xinliao Waterfalls
Down the road is the less impressive Jiulio Waterfalls, but because they were empty and we were the only ones there, I liked having it all to myself. The trail hasnt been taken care of, but its a nice path, overgrown and neglected. The pool is shallow but enjoyable enough for kids. Standing under the falls for a neck massage is a nice treat.
|Jiulio Falls
|Aohua Falls
There are so many waterfalls in the area, I'm learning about more all the time. The most impressive were south of Nan-ao called the Aohua Waterfalls outside the little aboriginal village of the same name. The pool is massive, the falls are massive. The brave can climb the slippery wall and jump into the cold, mineral abyss.
|Linmei Shipah Waterfall
The first lake I went to here was Longtan Lake. It was recommended by my coworker Steve who helped me get a job and my first apartment in Yilan. This lake is conveniently close to Yilan, we went by scooter. We rented bikes, it was casual. Unfortunately cars can drive around the one lane which is dangerous and noisy, especially with so many bikers, joggers and walkers. I've been meaning to return with a yoga mat and a pinic basket.
|Longtan Lake
The second lake I went to also conveniently close to Yilan City is Plum Blossom (Mei Hua) Lake.Its more crowded with numerous bike outfitters to rent the most outrageous bikes. There were side by side 2 and 4 seaters. I saw a bike with 4-5 seats in the shape of a Cinderella carriage.
|Meihua Lake
There are many lakes I hope to check out, some include difficult hikes. I'm still working on a list.
|Meihua Lake
Conveniently right by my home is the massive Yilan Sport's Park. There is a track, Olpympic size outdoor pool, weight room, rollerblading track and outside gymnasium. Not to mention fireflies at night. Loudong's Sports Park is supposedly better, but I'm satisfied with the one outside my front door.

1929-30 to 1958 | 1958-59 to 1978 | 1978 -
1931 in England
New Zealand had toured England in 1927, playing 38 matches (26 of which were first-class), winning 13 and drawing 20. Four years on and the experience they gained from the previous was evident, even though they lost the three-Test series 1-0. England finished on top in a draw at Lord's, but not before they had slumped to 190 for 7, Les Ames and Gubby Allen adding 246 in a brilliant eighth-wicket stand. England asserted their authority in the second Test at The Oval with New Zealand handicapped by the unavailability of Stewie Dempster. Allen tore through the visitors with 5 for 14 from 13 overs to dismiss New Zealand for 193 and then Ian Peebles spun England to a series-leading innings-and-26-run win. Atrotious weather in the third and last match at Old Trafford prevented play until the final afternoon.
England 1 New Zealand 0 Drawn 2
1932-33 in New Zealand
The addition of new Zealand to the tour itinerary was not overly popular with the players or the Australian board, although Wisden described it as "a valuable missionary move". Wally Hammond was far from charitable in amassing a biblical 563 runs in the two Tests. In the first he battered 227 in England's 560 for 7 declared. The home side responded with 223 before a violent dust storm ended proceedings. Poor weather also ruined the second Test but Hammond made 336, overtakeing Don Bradman's record test score of 334. His 200 came in 400 minutes, with the third hundred taking him a mere 47 more. Heavy rain finally came to New Zealand's rescue and the series was drawn.
New Zealand 0 England 0 Drawn 2
1946-47 in New Zealand
Murky conditions hung over Christchurch for most of the Test which benefited New Zealand, and Jack Cowie, far more than England. Walter Hadlee's first and only hundred (116) led New Zealand to 345 in their first innings and Cowie took 6 for 83 in England's reply. They declared on 265 for 7 but the rain set in on Sunday and, despite adding an extra day to the end of the Test in a bid to achieve a result, the weather had the last say.
New Zealand 0 England 0
1949 in England
Hadlee's New Zealand side boasted a strong batting line-up, centring on Martin Donnelly, and that, allied to Hadlee's safety-first policy, meant that all four Tests were drawn; it signalled the realisation that three-day Tests made a definite result all but impossible. New Zealand declined to chase an unlikely 299 in 150 minutes at Leeds, while they had the better of stalemate at Lord's where Donnelly's 216 took the plaudits. He added two fifties at Old Trafford as New Zealand had to dig deep after conceding a 147-run lead, and another batsman-friendly track at The Oval - it was Len Hutton's turn to score a double hundred - ended the series.
England 0 New Zealand 0 Drawn 4
in New Zealand
Fresh from an Ashes-winning series, England were on a high and New Zealand found out first hand how hard to handle Brian Statham and Frank Tyson were. They shared 12 wickets as England won the first Test by eight wickets and then 11 at Auckland in an innings victory. Bob Appleyard weighed in with match figures of 7 for 45 as New Zealand were bowled out for 26, - a record which still stands today.
New Zealand 0 England 2
in England
Enthusiastic and popular they might have been, but the 1958 New Zealanders are considered to be one of the weakest sides of all time. They won enough of the tour matches to ensure they had some reasons to smile, but in the Tests they were thrashed - they were overwhelmed at Edgbaston, Lord's, Headingley and Old Trafford, and only rain saved them at The Oval. Uncertainty in batting was always the big trouble. Their totals in the first four Tests tell the tale: 94 and 137 at Edgbaston; 47 and 74 at Lord's; 67 and 129 at Headingley; 267 and 85 at Old Trafford.

Rick Ross - Street Money ft. Flo Rida
Artist: Rick Ross
Featuring: Flo Rida, Cool & Dre
Producer: J-Rock Tha Rock Monsta
Album: Unreleased
Avg Rating: 3.6 ( 26 votes )
After months of grinding, rapper/singer Flo-Rida's hit single Low has climbed towards the top of the charts. Whereas Flo used the help of T-Pain and his characteristically-boxed voice to increase listenership for Low, fellow Floridian Rick Ross is doing the same with Flo-Rida on his new song, Street Money. Over a J-Rock beat (which bleeds Cool & Dre) Flo sings about the extra hustle needed to obtain 'street money' and Ross divulges that he is incapable of getting away from the glory days of his past. The collaboration between the two artists, unlike most these days, works on a number of levels. Their common roots foster harmony and should get them industry money.

SPI's Learning Lab website is nearing completion
Ready just in time for the Educator's Quarterly Innovation Meeting at the University of New Hampshire in Durham.
Ready just in time for the Educator's Quarterly Innovation Meeting at the University of New Hampshire in Durham.
The story begins with merino sheep, prized for fine wool, developed in Portugal and kept within its borders by the nobility there.
When Napoleon conquered Portugal in 1809, that restriction was lifted and the American ambassador imported 4,000 of the animals to his Vermont farm in 1810.
After the War of 1812, the United States imposed heavy tariffs on British goods—including textiles—and "sheep fever" took hold in New England. The area's sheep population grew rapidly: in 1840 it reached a peak of 1.7 million in Vermont alone, and similar explosions happened elsewhere. Hundreds of thousands of acres were cleared for sheep pasture as farmers took advantage of this burgeoning market for domestic textiles. By 1840, about 75 percent of our region's land was in agriculture, mostly pasture.
All of these fields had to be enclosed to keep the sheep from overrunning nearby cropland. At first, New England farmers used stumps and brush from cleared land to make fences. Later, these were replaced with zigzag split-rail fencing. Eventually, though, as timber became scarce, farmers used the next material at hand: stone.
Stone fences, as they were called, soon crisscrossed the landscape, keeping sheep in the pastures and out of crops.
No official inventories were ever taken, but an 1872 U.S. Department of Agriculture report on fences suggested that in 1875 some 240,000 miles of stonewalls crisscrossed New England. Vermont writer Castle Freeman Jr. wrote more than a century later, "… if a stone wall a fraction as long as the walls of Vermont alone had been built by the order of some old king or emperor, it would be one of the wonders of the world."
To find out more about the New England landscape, you might want to listen to Tom Wessels oral history, included in our collection (found at: http://storypreservation.wordpress.com/2013/11/12/tom-wessels-the-forested-landscape/ ) or read his book Reading the Forested Landscape, de rigueur in classrooms across America.
Info for this post was taken from numerous sources.
As part of Story Preservation's Preserving a Legacy series, we will be meeting with and recording Gutzon Borglum's granddaughter, Robin Borglum Carter later this month.
From pbs.org:
John Gutzon de la Mothe Borglum liked to tinker with his own legend, subtracting a few years from his age, changing the story of his parentage. The best archival research has revealed that he was born in 1867 to one of the wives of a Danish Mormon bigamist. When his father decided to conform to societal norms that were pressing westward with the pioneers, he abandoned Gutzon's mother, and remained married to his first wife, her sister.
In 1884, when Gutzon was sixteen, the family moved to Los Angeles. His father, unhappy in California, soon returned to Nebraska, but Gutzon stayed behind. He studied art and met Elizabeth Jaynes Putnam, a painter and divorcee eighteen years his senior. Lisa Putnam became a teacher and mentor to Gutzon, helping manage his career and advising his education. They were married in 1889. While in California, Gutzon painted a portrait of General John C. Fremont and learned the value of having a wealthy and socially connected patron. Although the general died a few years after sitting for his painting, his widow provided Borglum with contacts to men such as Leland Stanford and Theodore Roosevelt.
The Borglums traveled to Paris to work and study, and there Gutzon met sculptor Auguste Rodin. As much as he admired Rodin, more than one historian has suggested that the reason Gutzon gave up painting was to compete with his brother Solon, who had been making his name as a sculptor. Gutzon's talent was immediately apparent and he found a few commissions (certainly the fact that Solon had already associated the name Borglum with fine sculpture didn't hurt). At the same time, Gutzon's marriage was falling apart. He left Paris alone in 1901 and aboard ship met Mary Montgomery, an American who had just completed her doctorate at the University of Berlin. He and Mary wed as soon as Lisa granted him a divorce. They bought a house and farm in Connecticut and named it "Borgland."
Borglum's major work back in America included a bust of Abraham Lincoln, which he was able to exhibit in Theodore Roosevelt's White House. The Lincoln portrait and other much admired works gave Borglum a national reputation, and he was invited by Helen Plane of the United Daughters of the Confederacy to carve a bust of Robert E. Lee on Stone Mountain in Georgia. Borglum's conception was bigger than Plane's and Stone Mountain became his first mountain carving project, and where Borglum developed some of the techniques that would later be used on Rushmore.
While at Stone Mountain, Borglum became associated with the newly reborn Ku Klux Klan. Whether this accorded with a racist world view, or if it was simply one way to bond with some of his patrons on the Stone Mountain project, is unclear. Frankly, Borglum had little time for anyone, white or black, who was not a Congressman or millionaire, or happened to be in his way. There is no indication, for example, that he treated his long-suffering black chauffeur Charlie Johnson any differently than any white employee — he owed him back pay just like everyone else. Stone Mountain was not finished by Borglum, but it inspired his next job: Mount Rushmore.
When South Dakota state historian Doane Robinson read about Stone Mountain, he invited Borglum out to the Black Hills of South Dakota to create a monument there. Borglum, perhaps realizing that Stone Mountain had only regional support, immediately suggested a national subject for Rushmore: Presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Theodore Roosevelt and Thomas Jefferson were added to the program soon afterward.
Borglum had met and campaigned for Roosevelt, and by invoking that president's acquisition of the Panama Canal and Jefferson's Louisiana Purchase, the Rushmore monument became a story of the expansion of the United States, the embodiment of Manifest Destiny.
Work on the mountain was not constantly supervised by Borglum. When he was at Rushmore, Borglum would be climbing all over the mountain and all over the hills, to determine the best angle for each feature, and advising the carvers on how to create the nuanced details that might not even be visible from below. But after creating the models, siting the sculpture, and developing methods for transferring the image to the mountain and carving the rock, there were long periods during which Borglum's presence was not required. He would often leave his assistants, including his son Lincoln, to supervise the work and then travel. He would go to Washington, D.C. to lobby for more money, and he also traveled around the world, finding and completing other commissions, sculpting a Thomas Paine for Paris and a Woodrow Wilson for Poland, and meeting politicians and celebrities such as Helen Keller. (Helping her feel pieces by his old friend Rodin, he recalled her comment: "Meeting you is like a visit from the gods." He sometimes felt the same way about himself, writing in his journal: "I must see, think, feel and draw in Thor's dimension.") When he returned to the Dakotas, a rock might have been roughly blasted into an egg shape and he would be back to looking over every detail.
Borglum's stubborn insistence on having things done his way led to numerous confrontations with John Boland, who chaired the executive committee of the Mount Rushmore Commission. His temper and perfectionism caused him to fire his best workmen (who then had to be hired back by Borglum's son Lincoln). Borglum's ambition and hubris motivated him to recreate a landscape in his image (a tableau of prominent white men) rather than for the Native Americans who held the Black Hills sacred. Borglum was stubborn, insistent, temperamental, perfectionist, high-reaching, and proud — but these were also the characteristics that were required to carve a mountain. Big, brash, almost larger than life, only a man like Gutzon Borglum could have conceived of and created the monument on Mount Rushmore.
On March 6, 1941, Borglum died, following complications after surgery. His son finished another season at Rushmore, but left the monument largely in the state of completion it had reached under his father's direction.

SPI posts have been read and audio listened to more than 20,000 x by folks from 102 different countries, ranging from the US to Mongolia, and from Fiji to Macedonia!
Our Learning Lab project will focus on New Hampshire – but we'll keep our blog up and running for all of our friends from around the world!
As we upload material to the Learning Lab website, we're including images and documents that correspond with the audio, as well as info graphics, lesson plans and links of interest.
Harvard-Smithsonian astrophysicist, Jonathan McDowell's narrative allows us … and the students who will be listening to the recording … to delve into the rich collections of photographs available on NASA websites.
Here's a screen shot of our Learning Lab website, now in development. Photographs accompany each audio track, there's a full transcription, lesson plans, links of interest, and a forum for teachers to share outcomes and experiences.
The website will be ready to go and available to teachers in early December.
SPI was at an educational conference in the White Mountains in early October, meeting and beginning to collaborate with NH public school teachers for Story Preservation's Learning Lab project.
We're initiating the project in our home state – with plans to expand to schools outside of New Hampshire in late 2015.
He has listened to and recorded bird songs from the East Coast to the West, and constantly adds to his birdsong library back home in Massachusetts, where he's professor emeritus of biology at the University of Massachusetts.
His book The Singing Life of Birds: The Art and Science of Listening to Birdsong won the 2006 John Burroughs Medal "for outstanding natural history writing" and the American Birding Association's Robert Ridgeway Award "for excellence in publications in field ornithology."
Kroodsma explores the mysteries of birdsong — how birds learn to sing, why some sing and some don't, and why songs vary from bird to bird and even from place to place. "Birds have song dialects just like we humans have dialects," he says.
On his travels, Kroodsma enjoys listening, knowing that where a bird learned a song is just as important as a bird's genealogy. He noticed in his travels that birds of the same species but in different states sang the same song, but with their own unique "accents."
His field of study may be unique, but the way he goes about his research is equally unique — Kroodsma tours the continent on his bicycle, collecting bird songs along the way. He biked completely across the nation once in 2003, and in 2004 biked from the Atlantic shore to the Mississippi, lugging his recording equipment with him.
"There is no better way to hear a continent sing than by bicycle," Kroodsma says. "You can read the minds of these birds if you simply listen… Riding a bike is just a great way to hear birds."
"There's this wonderful Zen parable," he says. "If you listen to the thrush and hear a thrush, you've not really heard the thrush. But if you listen to a thrush and hear a miracle, then you've heard the thrush."
Don's new book tentatively titled "Listening to a Continent Sing. Birdsong by Bicycle from the Atlantic to the Pacific," is soon to be released from Princeton University Press.

I have to say I am especially looking forward to sitting down with and recording Vivian Perlis. I've known her personally for more than 30 years and admired her deeply since the day we met. Vivian is an historian in American music. She is widely known for her publications, lectures, and recording and film productions. In addition, she is a groundbreaking oral historian.
Vivian Perlis is the founder and former director of the Oral History of American Music (OHAM) project at Yale University. OHAM is known to be the preeminent project in the field of music dedicated to the collection and preservation of oral and video memoirs of the creative musicians of our time.
Her story begins: In 1969, while working as a reference librarian at the Yale School of Music, Vivian started a project of tape-recording interviews with those acquainted with the composer Charles Ives, a Yale graduate. Her work – thorough, methodical, and revealing – culminated in 1974 with the book: "Charles Ives Remembered: An Oral History," for which Vivian was awarded the Kinkeldey Prize of the American Musicological Society. Hailed "a vivid memory portrait of an enigmatic American composer, told in the voices of the people who knew him best."
Beginning with her pioneering work in 1969 and extending through to the present day (via OHAM), there are "thousands of recordings and transcripts accessible to a wide range of users including scholars, musicians, students, arts organizations, and the media."*
From the OHAM website: Following the Ives Project, it was evident that no systematic scholarly research was in progress to document creative musical figures by means of tape-recorded interviews. Several composers had spoken about Ives, and in so doing, about themselves as well. (It is not a good idea to ask a celebrated composer to talk only about someone else.) These formed the nucleus for a broader-based project, Oral History of American Music (OHAM). Included were Elliott Carter, Lou Harrison, Nicolas Slonimsky, and Dane Rudhyar. Through the decades since the founding of OHAM, composers have continued to be the project's primary focus.
A list of interviewees can be found at: http://web.library.yale.edu/oham/major-figures
In 1984 Copland: 1900 through 1942 was published. Perlis and Copland co-authored this "enduring record of an American maestro's explosively creative coming of age." The book garnered a Deems Taylor/ ASCAP award.
A review upon its release: Aaron Copland is one of America's most beloved musical pioneers, famous for Appalachian Spring, Billy the Kid, and Lincoln Portrait, as well as the movie scores for "Our Town" and "Of Mice and Men," and numerous orchestral and chamber works. This candid, colorful memoir begins with Copland's Brooklyn childhood and takes us through his years in Paris, the creation of his early works, and his arrival at Tanglewood. Rich with remembrances from Leonard Bernstein, Virgil Thomson, and Nadia Boulanger, as well as a trove of letters, photographs, and scores from Copland's collection.
In 1989 Copland Since 1943 was published, again to much acclaim.
In 2013 The Complete Copland was issued, combining the earlier two books into one volume.
Other works include:
Composers' Voices from Ives to Ellington, co-authored with Libby Van Cleve, includes two CDs and is derived from interviews in the OHAM archive.
Among her productions are recordings of the music of Leo Ornstein and Charles Ives, and television documentaries on Ives, Eubie Blake, Aaron Copland, and John Cage.
Honors and awards received include: The Charles Ives Award from the National Institute of Arts and Letters (1972); a Grammy nomination for "Charles Ives 100th Anniversary" (1974); the Harvey Kantor Award for excellence in the field of oral history (1984); a Guggenheim Fellowship (1987); and the Irving Lowens Award for distinguished scholarship in American Music from The Society for American Music (1991).
In 2010, celebrating the 40th anniversary of the archive, Vivian was honored at both Carnegie Hall and Yale's Zankel Hall. She stepped down as the director of OHAM the same year; however, she remains active and ever-influential. She continues to serve as a senior research scholar at Yale University.
Furthering our commitment to education in the State of New Hampshire, Story Preservation has been selected to present at the Christa McAuliffe Technology Conference later this year.
The CMTC is New England's largest technology in education conference.
We'll be showcasing ways for teachers to integrate our primary source educational audio recordings into their classrooms for learning that is both unique and powerful!!!!
This conference furthers the legacy of New Hampshire's own "first teacher in space." A woman I can say with confidence, we all loved.

Two men burned alive after crowd suspects them of organ trafficking on tourism hotspot in Indian Ocean
Share via Email
PARIS/ANTANANARIVO-A crowd burnt two Europeans alive on a tourist island in Madagascar because they suspected them of trafficking human organs after a dead child was found on a beach, police said.
The men were hunted down and killed by residents on the island of Nosy Be, one of the Indian Ocean island's leading tourism hubs.
"They (the crowd) suspected them of organ trafficking," Madagascar police chief Desire Johnson Rakotondratsima said. "It appears that one of the foreigners admitted it in front of the local residents after they found the dead body of a child."
Police are searching for a third suspected organ trafficker, a Malagasy man, he said.
One of the dead men was French, according to France's foreign ministry. A French interior ministry official said the body of the child had been found with organs removed.
The French foreign ministry said it had warned its 700 citizens in Madagascar to avoid all travel within the country and asked those planning to travel there to delay their trip.
"We are counting on the Malagasy authorities to bring to light the exact circumstances of this and have asked them to take measures to increase security for our nationals on the ground, given that Nosy Be is a popular tourist destination," a spokesman said.
Nosy Be is an island off the northwestern tip of mainland Madagascar famous for its turquoise waters and white-sand beaches.
Analysts say crime has increased in Madagascar since President Andry Rajoelina seized power through a coup more than four years ago, plunging the country into political turmoil and leading donors to freezing aid, which dented public spending.
Almost 80 per cent of households now living below the poverty line, one of the highest rates in Africa.

Last night, in the waning hours of Massachusetts' legislative session, its House and Senate passed H.4376.

With less than 48 hours left in the 2014 legislative session, rumors are circulating that several conference committee members are considering a possible compromise provision which still creates a discretionary FID licensing system for long guns in the Commonwealth.

Over the next couple of months, the Michigan Legislature will be taking an extended recess to allow state legislators to return to their respective districts and focus on constituent issues. As a result, during the limited legislative session days left before the lame-duck session begins in November, it is important that the state legislature focus on priority legislation. The NRA views the legislation below as top priorities for 2014 and encourages our members to contact their state legislators to express their support.FULL STORY
Last Friday, July 18, Governor Jerry Brown (D) signed into law anti-gun Assembly Bill 1964. AB 1964 unnecessarily removes existing exemptions for all single-shot pistols, other than those with a break top or bolt-action, from California's roster of "not unsafe" handguns. It is unfortunate that this legislation was passed and Governor Brown signed such a law that does not address any legitimate public safety problems and conflicts with well-established constitutional principles.FULL STORY

As previously reported last month, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and his anti-gun followers made another attempt at hindering your right to keep and bear arms in Missouri. In mid-June, a lawsuit was filed against Senate Joint Resolution 36 (Constitutional Amendment 5 on the August 5 primary election ballot) – with the plaintiff being St. Louis Police Chief Samuel Dotson III and Rebecca Morgan, a member of the Missouri chapter of a Bloomberg-funded anti-gun group. This lawsuit sought to challenge the ballot language and had the express intention of outright killing this ballot measure. FULL STORY
Thanks to your calls, e-mails and active involvement, Thursday the Massachusetts Senate stripped some of the most egregious anti-gun provisions from Senate Bill 2265, including the elimination of the discretionary component which would have created new "may issue" FID issuance standards by providing issuing authorities with unlimited discretion to deny firearms identification cards. The Senate adopted Amendment 63.1 by a 28 to 10 vote. FULL STORY

Yesterday, 63 amendments were filed to Senate Bill 2265 that would affect your rights as a gun owner and sportsman in the Commonwealth.

Yesterday, Governor Jay Nixon (D) vetoed a NRA supported pro-gun measure, Senate Bill 656. Sponsored by state Senator Will Kraus (R-8) and handled in the House by state Representative Kevin Elmer (R-139), SB 656 passed overwhelmingly in both legislative chambers. Unfortunately, Governor Jay Nixon felt the pro-gun provisions were not important or necessary and chose to veto this legislation rather than allow it to become law and increase school and public safety for law-abiding Missouri citizens.FULL STORY

Famed French mountaineer Maurice Herzog dies at 93
France loved him for his indefatigable, pioneering spirit - the first man to climb an 8,000-meter Himalayan peak despite losing all his fingers and toes to frostbite, a man who later went on to scale the heights of French politics.
Associated Press
France loved him for his indefatigable, pioneering spirit - the first man to climb an 8,000-meter Himalayan peak despite losing all his fingers and toes to frostbite, a man who later went on to scale the heights of French politics.
Six decades after his 1950 Annapurna climb made Maurice Herzog a household name, the famed French mountaineer died Friday at age 93.
The statement from the Elysee Presidential Palace said he died in France but gave no further details. He had lived just outside of Paris.
A photograph of Herzog waving a French tricolor atop the 26,545-foot (8,091-meter) peak in Nepal captured a seminal moment before the grueling descent, during which subzero conditions led to the amputation of all his fingers and toes.
"The marks of the ordeal are apparent on my body," he later said.
Although the 1953 ascent of Mount Everest - by Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay somewhat eclipsed Herzog's achievement, Annapurna was not scaled again for some 20 years. Although Everest was the highest mountain in the world, Annapurna was said to be the most dangerous.
His book about the epic expedition, "Annapurna: The First Conquest of an 8,000-Meter Peak," was called "the most influential mountaineering book of all time" by National Geographic Adventure and made Sports Illustrated's list of the top 100 sports books of all time. It has sold millions of copies - the IOC said more than 20 million copies - and has been translated into dozens of languages.
"In overstepping our limitations, in touching the extreme boundaries of man's world, we have come to know something of its true splendor," Herzog said in the best-selling book.
The International Olympic Committee expressed its deepest sympathy to Herzog's family. He had been an honorary member of the IOC since 1995, after some 25 years as an active member.
Tributes came in praising Herzog as an inspiration.
"Our nation will miss Maurice Herzog," said French President Francois Hollande, evoking the historic climb "that is engraved enduringly in our collective memory."
Hollande also praised Herzog's wartime engagement in the French resistance and his second career in public life.
Herzog was "a great figure of the mountains, Haute Savoie and France," said Sophie Dion, a deputy in the French parliament from Herzog's much-loved home region in the Alps.
As a symbol of the place he occupied in collective French hearts, Herzog was decorated with the Grand Cross in France's Legion of Honor last year, the country's highest civilian honor.
Annapurna is ranked the 10th highest peak in the world and has been described as the "world's deadliest peak." Up to 2009, 60 climbers had died on Annapurna, according to climbing statistics website 8000ers.com, for a fatality rate of around 40 percent.
Herzog, who was born on Jan. 15, 1919, parlayed his post-Annapurna fame into a career in French politics, first as a minister for sport under President Charles de Gaulle and later as a national lawmaker and long-time mayor of Chamonix, a famous mountaineering town in the French Alps.
He also helped France obtain the 1992 Winter Olympics for Albertville.
Still, later in life, Herzog's legend was tarnished when it came out that he sought to diminish the role of his climbing companion Louis Lachenal - who died in 1955 - by editing his memoirs, which were published after his death. Lachenal reached the summit of Annapurna with Herzog and also lost all his toes to frostbite.
There was no immediate information on survivors or funeral arrangements.

The furness company sent us a damaged amplifier and when we have asked for our money back they said it was in full working order, we know it wasnt. They now refuse to speak to us by phone and when i write they dont answer my questions because they know they have conned us out of £300. I would advise no one to deal with company.

Deportivo La Coruna midfielder Julian De Guzman is being linked with a move to Toronto FC.
The 28-year old Canada international, who was born in Toronto, has been in Spain's La Liga since 2005 but reports in the Spanish newspaper Marca have him linked with a move back to his homeland.
Reports say that De Guzman will be Toronto's designated player, meaning they don't have to include his entire salary in the clubs salary cap but club coach Chris Cummins could not confirm any potential move.
"There's a lot of people we're talking to at the moment, and they've got to be the right people," Cummins said.
"If Julian is one of them, and he comes in, then great. He'd be a great asset to the club. He's a fantastic player."

The four people found shot to death in a car in the former mountain resort in Tennessee included one woman and three teenage boys.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation identified the victims Friday as 22-year-old Danielle Jacobson, 16-year-old John Lajeunesse and two 17-year-olds, Steven Presley and Dominic Davis.
Investigators said a person of interest in the case was located in Rhea County overnight and taken into custody on an unrelated charge.
The car containing the bodies was discovered by a resident of the community about 50 miles west of Knoxville on Thursday morning.
The former resort had controlled access with a gate until 2010, when new owners got rid of it. That move left some residents concerned about security in the 3,000-acre community.

The war on childhood obesity just got a little more complicated. A new study published in the journal Pediatrics concludes that parents react negatively and defensively when doctors tell them that their children are "fat" or "obese," and would feel more motivated to help their kids slim down if the doctor instead used phrases like "an unhealthy weight." Should doctors choose their words more carefully, or should parents just toughen up and address the problem?
Doctors can be more effective if they watch what they say: "Physicians may want to brush up on their examining room manners," says Amanda St. Amand at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. It's understandable that they want to jolt parents into action — 2 million American children are classified as extremely obese. But if they use harsh words that parents don't want to hear — and consequently ignore — they're not doing anybody any good.
"If your doctor called your kid 'fat,' what would you do?"
But doctors are susceptible to bias: Doctors should be extra-sensitive in these situations, says Melissa Hardy in the Los Angeles Times, to counter their own well-documented prejudice towards obese patients. "A 2003 study found that more than 50% found [obese patients] to be awkward, unattractive, ugly and noncompliant, and 1 in 3 considered them weak-willed, sloppy and lazy." A "dose of compassion — and diplomacy" is well-advised.
"Parents to pediatricians: Don't tell me my kid's 'fat'"
Besides, the word "fat" is never appropriate: This study appears to be a reaction to a British government doctor's recent recommendation that doctors stigmatize patients if that's what it takes to get them to lose weight, says Betsy Shaw at Baby Center. But it's possible to take "tough love" too far. The parents who bristle when doctors call their kids fat aren't being over-sensitive. The word has such unmistakable connotations of "laziness, un-attractiveness, weakness even," that it's taboo. Doctors should respect that.
