Answer questions once and for all
Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Tory government are officially in emergency channel-changing mode.
On Wednesday, Harper was once again grilled in question period by opposition critics trying to prove he not only knew of, but masterminded what appears to be a bid to cover up some of the worst examples of improperly claimed living and travel expenses by Tory senators.
Related Items
The opposition attack, spearheaded by NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair, was pointed and surgical. Questions were brief and specific, designed to unearth new details and catch Harper in an inconsistency. The questions were not idle; there is a substantial body of unknowns in this story.
Why did Harper's chief of staff, Nigel Wright, give Tory Sen. Mike Duffy $90,000 to repay improperly claimed living and travel expenses? Who in the PMO knew about the deal between Wright and Duffy and when did they know it? How and why were the most damning details of Duffy's indiscretions subsequently sanitized from a Senate report? How much influence from the PMO was brought to bear on the Senate's investigation of expense claims?
These are the key questions necessary to determine whether there was, as has been alleged, an abuse of power by the PMO. Unfortunately, the deeper opposition critics dig, the further away from the truth we seem to get. What began as simple evasiveness has become a cynical effort to frustrate, obfuscate and distract.
When asked who in the PMO was responsible for overseeing the Senate expense file, nearly a dozen times Harper or a minister responded with counter-allegations against Mulcair related to the Quebec commission investigating political corruption.
It was recently revealed Mulcair may have been offered a bribe in 1994 by the former mayor of Laval. The NDP leader gave a statement to Quebec's anti-corruption squad in 2011, but never exposed the attempted bribe when it was offered.
Mulcair's recollections, and the decision he made in 1994 to remain quiet about what happened are clearly newsworthy. They are not, however, connected in any direct or indirect way to Ottawa's current preoccupation with Senate expenses. They also do not disqualify Mulcair from asking questions in question period.
Repeatedly bringing up the alleged bribe is an act of revenge by the government after it was abused by the opposition in question period. However, it is also a clear bid to divert attention away from the expense scandal, a strategy that does not put the government in a flattering light.
It is important to note the context of the exchanges. Question period, a once-important part of the daily parliamentary agenda, has been for some time now used and abused by politicians at both the federal and provincial levels.
It is supposed to be an opportunity for opposition politicians to question government officials on behalf of the citizens who voted for them. Unfortunately, question period is now where the government goes to absurd lengths to ignore presumptuous, overly hyperbolic opposition questions. It has been like this for so long, most of us in the media have become blas© about the whole thing.
Perhaps it is too much to expect any government to break from tradition and actually answer the questions put to them. Each QP is a tiny battle in its own right, and neither side wants to lose, even if it would be for a greater good.
On the other hand, in a bid to win the petty question-period war, Harper and his government are doing little to dampen interest in the Senate expense scandal. Efforts to divert attention are unlikely to persuade anyone but hard-core partisans.
Similarly inappropriate are the Tory government's efforts to slide past senator expenses into a full-scale debate on Senate reform or abolishment. The Senate may indeed need to be reformed, but improperly claimed living and travel expenses by four of 105 senators is not the most persuasive argument.
We know Harper's senior-most political aide gave a senator money to pay back improperly claimed expenses. We also know there were pledges made to the senator that an investigation into his expenses would be less strenuous if he paid back the money. Finally, we know the Senate report on those expenses was redacted to remove damaging findings on the senator in question.
If this was, as Harper has alleged, a poor decision made by an aide to help an ethically challenged senator, then the prime minister should bend over backwards to answer all questions as fulsomely as possible, within or without the House of Commons. Putting so much effort into trying to change the channel on this debate is not only not effective. It is the hallmark of a government with something to hide.

There's no shortage of talk this week about Arista's IPO. The company began trading on the NYSE today above the market's expectations, leading to a strong start right out of the gate. In my opinion, Arista's IPO demonstrates the viability of hardware and the robustness of Ethernet switching in a space that has been saying for years that hardware is going away. Investors believe there is market share up for grabs in the networking industry and are going after it accordingly. My colleague Mike Bushong did a nice write up earlier this week titled "5 things Arista's impending IPO says about networking."
This week's PlexxiTube video of the week our own Dan Backman covers how to troubleshoot the Plexxi ring when there are issues in your network. He analyzes how to go about quickly identifying and isolating the issue so you can resolve it with minimal disruption.
You may have seen over the past two weeks that we've been running a social campaign on Twitter highlighting the biggest networking events in history. See all of the biggest ones we included in the #EvolutionoftheNetwork Storify below.
SDN Isn't Growing Networking, It's Slowing It Down
, Sean Michael Kerner of Enterprise Networking Planetcomments on new Infonetics Research that points to SDN hesitation as having a negative impact on the buying patterns in the service provider space. I don't know if it's SDN that is slowing people down or the companies that are selling it. The challenge we have now is that there is a much hotter battle over mindshare than there has been in recent years. It makes everything confusing. It has been a decade since I have seen this kind of FUD spread about so liberally. Additionally, the talk about SDN is all about general networking, which is far more difficult to deploy.
When you talk general network, are you telling me that I need to rip and replace my network? Because now I have to include a whole lot more people to make a decision. Vendors and customers alike would be well-served by narrowing the discussion to something that is deployable. Forget the whole network – talk about what specific needs to be done. Beyond that, the fact that there is more competition than ever before means that the mindless people who just kept buying more of the same are starting to consider more. This leads to hesitation as well. Exciting times.
Is SDN Flattening Ethernet Switch Sales?
Craig Matsumoto of SDNCentral comments on the recent slow-down in spending on routers and switches. In my opinion, we are seeing hesitation in buying largely because there is more competition than ever. When there is only one brand of ketchup on the shelf, you just grab it and move on. When there are 10 similarly labeled bottled of ketchup, you have to pause and think. And if you don't really know why you need ketchup, maybe you start looking at the labels and prices and claims.
We are seeing more competition than we have ever seen in this space. That it is slowing buying patterns down some is not surprising. This is why vendors need to be very clear about why they are special. If you are the best ketchup for hash browns, then label it that way. No one else will land in the exact same place. You might give up some other uses, but you will win 100% of the hash brown space. As a small company, that might be enough to expand your ketchup to cover the hot dog market.
Pssst. IBM Has Quietly Walked Away From the Software-Defined Networking Business (Exclusive)
Earlier this week, VentureBeat reporter Jordan Novet wrote an interesting exclusive on how IBM has quietly walked away from its SDN business. Personally, I wonder how much of this has to do with the ability to monetize the software itself vs the services. It could be that there just wasn't enough opportunity there, and expecting SDN to pull through additional IBM sales might not have made a lot of sense.
Regardless, this knocks one of the systems integrators in the space, which might make Cisco's expertise (especially in large accounts) even more valuable as people work to figure out how to cobble all of this together.
There will be lots of opportunities on the VAR side to handle SDN integrations, along with OpenStack and some of the DevOps tools. And for new vendors, those that make it easier to drive adoption will likely have more success. The days of networking where you could build a brick that took forever and a day to integrate are quickly coming to a close.
Optimize Your Infrastructure Without Breaking the Bank
, Bill Kleyman of InformationWeek looks at how software-based systems can be cost-effective ways to streamline your IT operations. In my opinion, the hardware/software distinction might be losing steam. At least in the networking space, most of the major players in both the big iron and the appliance spaces are increasingly converging on a narrow set of merchant silicon and off-the-shelf processors. That pricing is still tied to hardware is an artifact of pricing models and buying patterns.
If everyone ends up shipping on similar (and similarly-priced) hardware, then the distinction between hardware and software becomes a little bit less important. You need to have both.
Accordingly, people should be fairly clear about what they are looking to do and then keep the aperture for evaluation wide. Then narrow the field based on whatever criteria are important.
SDN Seen Slowing Spending on Routers, Switches
Jim Duffy also commented on Infonetics Research's report on slowing router and switch spending in his article for Network World. I think that the slow-down goes beyond just waiting for technology. What we are seeing now is a change in the competitive landscape. Where the buying process used to include two vendors (and sometimes one other one for appearances), there is now legitimate competition for new deals. By leveling the architectural playing field, SDN is doing more than providing new technology – it is forcing choice.
Imagine a fast food restaurant. There is a reason that the menus are relatively small. This is the "fast" part of fast food. They need people to get in and get out so they can turn over their clients. When you add choice, you slow things down (and you also create more buyers' regret).
Technology maturity is part of this, but in my opinion we are seeing buying behaviors change for the first time in more than a decade. This is significant. It also ought to inform vendors how they should go to market. Being a generalist is great for the largest incumbent, but not for anyone else.

Daniel Torres Etayo
Photograph by Yamila Lomba
Daniel Torres Etayo's fieldwork spans thick jungles, hidden caves, dune-swept beaches, and ocean depths—all within the archaeologically rich, yet largely unexplored, borders of Cuba. The societies he investigates are as diverse as his sites, ranging from 13th-century aboriginal Tainos to 19th-century New Yorkers. His personal passion and perseverance in exploring, communicating discoveries, and training new talent have been responsible for putting Cuban archaeology on the map.
"When I was a child," Torres Etayo remembers, "my father told me hundreds of fantastic stories about the Inca, Maya, and Aztec Empires; the European conquerors; and Cuba's own indigenous peoples. After hearing the magnificent achievements of those civilizations and visiting my first archaeological site at age 15, I knew I wanted this to be my life's work."
Today he hopes his own discoveries will inspire a new generation of young Cubans to explore and protect their heritage. "I know Cuba still has a wealth of unexplored archaeological sites. When I began researching the eastern region of the island, there were about 15 known sites. Today my own inventory includes more than a hundred, and this is just the tip of the island."
New finds won't be limited to land. Torres Etayo says almost 3,000 shipwrecks off Cuba's coast are noted in archives, only about a hundred of which have been located, and only 12 excavated.
Torres Etayo tackles Cuba's virtually unknown archaeological potential in myriad ways. His road hasn't been easy, with obstacles ranging from public apathy to a dearth of state-of-the-art tools. Through sheer determination, Torres Etayo is at the forefront of generating new excitement about archaeology within his country, introducing a new level of sophisticated technology to fieldwork, elevating scientific training and professionalism, advocating for protection and preservation of sites, launching efforts to inform and stimulate public interest in the island's rich history, and connecting Cuba to the larger world community of archaeologists.
One key project transports Torres Etayo to the tribal life of 13th-century Cuba. He explores massive ceremonial centers to gain new understanding of local history, customs, and world views, and to learn how native Taino societies were changed by European contact. At one site, he studies a huge 820-foot-by-440-foot space enclosed by almost 10-foot-high walls where tribal communities may have joined in Areito, a ceremonial music often accompanied by song and dance, as well as batey, a traditional ball game.
Torres Etayo investigates the plazas with an unprecedented degree of precision through remote sensing technology, an ingenious kite-based photography system, soil geochemistry surveys, and geographic information systems (GIS) for gathering and managing data. He hopes the high-resolution topographical maps his research produces will prove instrumental in having the structures designated and preserved as national monuments.
Other explorations plunge Torres Etayo into a spectacular 19th-century shipwreck more than 30 feet below the sea. "The City of Alexandria was a beautiful steamship that transported people, mail, and merchandise between New York City and Havana from 1888 to 1893," he describes. Future U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant spent part of his honeymoon aboard the elegant steamer. An explosion, fed by a considerable cargo of rum, sank the vessel in a blazing inferno, scattering fragments across the seafloor off Cuba's coast.
Torres Etayo not only explores and documents the find, but also is working to have it preserved as a local monument and sustainable biocultural reserve. Non-divers will be able to take a 360-degree virtual tour of the wreck, created with detailed photographs, historical archives, and information about local marine fauna.
Many of his innovative underwater search techniques are a first for Cuba. "We are making a mega-photomosaic of the entire site," he explains. "A diver navigates an underwater grid and shoots one photo every two seconds at fixed depth. The results produce an enormous scaled and geo-referenced photomosaic of the site. I hope that when people visualize this marvelous underwater world, they will be encouraged to be active in the protection and preservation of our submerged archeological heritage."
What's next? Intriguing unsolved mysteries of early shipwrecks beckon. But whether searching for clues below waves, sand, or tropical vegetation, Torres Etayo's enthusiasm persists. "My work lets me speak for humans who have been gone for centuries and who have been invisible in the history books. Once, after becoming lost in the middle of the jungle, I found an untouched Aboriginal grave in a small cave. Being the first to see those remains after more than 500 years was a very moving experience. My fieldwork also constantly puts me in touch with nature, sometimes in very dangerous situations, but you know—a little adrenaline never hurt anyone!"

Leadership: President Obama admonishes congressional leaders to "act like grown-ups," then immediately prepares to leave town to raise money as a budget crisis brews. So who's acting like an adult here?
'You want everybody to act like an adult, quit playing games and realize it is not my way or the highway," the president said as he prepared to head off for a fundraiser in Pennsylvania.
Obama's words, directed at the GOP, are rich in irony. Since when does acting on principle — shrinking our bloated federal government down to normal size and reducing the dangerously soaring deficit — qualify as childish?
Republicans are only doing the hard, dirty and, yes, adult work of making tough choices about limited resources. Unlike petulant Democrats. With their name-calling and refusal to recognize either fiscal reality or the damage their $1-trillion-a-year deficits have done, they might as well be redubbed the Puerile Party.
And while we're talking childish — isn't a looming government shutdown a bit more important than raising still more political cash? Can't it wait, Mr. President? Apparently not.
Even so, the possibility of a government shutdown has Washington and the left-wing mainstream media in high dudgeon. They may be hoping for a repeat of 1995, when President Clinton refused to sign a budget, shut down the government and got away with blaming the GOP for it.
But who's to blame for this mess now?
Last year, Democrats controlled both houses of Congress and the presidency. By law, they were required to pass a budget. They didn't. Why? Like children running from a broken cookie jar, pointing fingers as they go, they were afraid of being punished by the voters.
They also knew that even if they lost in the midterm elections, they could rely on the Republicans — the Daddy Party — to do their dirty work for them.
Styling himself the adult, the president now talks about "meeting responsibilities" to produce a budget. But he had a chance to do just that earlier this year.
Instead, he put out a reality-defying, 10-year plan that did nothing about entitlements, boosted federal spending by 58% and added a devastating $10 trillion to our nation's debt.
In short, a childish dereliction of his fiscal duty as the nation's chief financial officer.
Now that the Republicans are actually stepping in to stop this fiscal folly — producing real cuts in the 2011 budget plus the longer-term Ryan plan to climb our way out of our fiscal hole — Democrats are blaming them for the possibility that government will shut down.
We say if Democrats won't take their adult responsibilities seriously, let it shut down. And if it does, Americans should blame the tantrum-throwing children in Congress — the same ones who ludicrously call the GOP's proposed $40 billion in 2011 budget cuts (a mere 1.1% of spending) "devastating."
Just don't blame the adults who are finally trying to clean up this mess.

|Saints' depth at running back depleted, newcomers shore up post
|Written by Admin
|Wednesday, 26 December 2007 15:34
Neither Reggie Bush (torn ligament in his left knee) nor Aaron Stecker (turf toe) practiced Wednesday and it's uncertain if either will be available for the game, a must-win for the Saints, who still have an outside shot at the final NFC wild-card slot.
To advance to the playoffs, the Saints must beat the Bears, then hope Minnesota (8-7) falls at Denver and Washington (8-7) loses to visiting Dallas.
With Bush and Stecker questionable, that leaves an undrafted rookie, Pierre Thomas, and two players signed this week - Chris Barclay and Artose Pinner - as the team's only healthy halfbacks.
Deuce McAllister was placed on injured reserve after hurting his knee in the third game of the season, and reserve Jamaal Branch joined him after fracturing his right leg against Philadelphia last week.
The Saints claimed Barclay off waivers from Tennessee and signed Pinner, who spent the first 14 weeks with Atlanta before being released, in case Stecker and/or Bush is unavailable Sunday. Both could be game-time decisions.
``In the meantime, we have to develop and train these other guys,'' coach Sean Payton said after practice Wednesday about Barclay and Pinner. ``I'm optimistic about Aaron, and Pierre has handled this real well. We'll see where Reggie's at and we'll have to make adjustments.''
Bush, who has missed the last three games, said he believes he has a better chance of playing this week than last week, even though he wasn't ruled out for the Philadelphia game until pregame warm-ups.
``It's getting better,'' Bush said of the injury. ``You have to look at the risk-reward ratio. It will be a mutual decision by me, the coaching staff and the trainers.''
Stecker, who injured his toe during the first half of the Eagles game but returned, was walking very gingerly in the locker room Wednesday.
``It's stiff, and nice and sore,'' Stecker said. ``I've been a good healer in the past. It's a lot better than it was Monday. If it continues to progress like that, I'll think I'll be OK.''
Thomas is a native of suburban Chicago who played at the University of Illinois.
``This is a very big shot,'' said Thomas, who spent Christmas with his family in Chicago. ``I've just been blessed throughout my first year. I'm trying to study and learn the game at this level so fast.''
So far, Thomas has 30 carries for 146 yards and one touchdown.
``I think he is going to be fine; this is his kind of football game,'' quarterback Drew Brees said of Thomas. ``It's two hours from where he played college football and he's used to (the) conditions and will probably have a lot of people there that will be excited to watch him play.''

A New Material Could Change the Way We Build Our Worldby George Delozier
When talking about moving vehicles, weight is almost always the enemy of performance. It takes more power to get moving, longer to stop and reduces the speed at which you can turn. While aluminum can solve some of these issues, many applications call for something stronger and this is where we turn to steel. However, a new material, called Buckypaper, may almost completely wipe out the need for steel in automotive and aeronautical applications.

PEOPLE like to cite "celebrity" editions of Come Dine With Me as evidence of civilisation's demise.
Celebrity Big Brother 2012 is ON - and as controversial as ever thanks to Imogen Thomas' Twitter rant just minutes ago.
Imogen Thomas has apologised to her Twitter followers after being criticised for posting an attention-seeking message about 'gaining weight' over Christmas.
If you thought Imogen Thomas had reached her annoying peak for the week with those 'I'm so fat - tell me I'm not fat' pictures she Tweeted yesterday, you're about to hear some bad news.
Imogen Thomas has just tweeted this picture of herself posing on a very fluffy looking carpet wearing some sort of Call On Me gym get up.
New Year's Eve 2011 seems to have been a quiet one for Danielle Lloyd – and going by her tweets, the Scouse glamour model wouldn't have had it any other way.
She may have been enjoying herself recently - admitting to downing a bottle of wine at 11am on Christmas Day as a case in point – but there's no denying that Imogen Thomas had a tumultuous 2011.
Celebrities took to Twitter to wish their fans a happy new year.
They said it wouldn't last and, sadly, it hasn't.
Una Healy and fiancé Ben Foden may be spending Christmas apart but that didn't stop The Saturdays singer from merrily tweeting snaps of her blossoming baby bump.
Imogen Thomas admitted to downing a bottle of wine at 11am on Christmas Day before sharing her celebratory snaps on Twitter.
RYAN Giggs' sister-in-law Natasha has revealed her desperate regrets over her eight-year affair with the Manchester United star.
But here she is anyway in her sexy Santa gear.
The High Court heard that there was no basis for a married footballer known only as CTB to accuse Imogen Thomas of blackmail after a hearing today.
And tries to get a picture in the papers of a policeman ogling her bangers.
Big Brother star Imogen Thomas has spoken out about media intrusion and privacy, claiming she didn't want any attention following her alleged fling with Ryan Giggs.
JOURNALISTS could face jail for reporting what is said by MPs in Parliament, the Attorney General warned.
The Royal Wedding, a high court super-injunction saga and the untimely death of a singing sensation have shaped this year's top 10 Yahoo celebrity searches.
Who knew Imogen Thomas could be so resourceful with items found around the home?
There's nothing more irritating than people who start
celebrating Christmas in November...
BOOKIE Paddy Power has had the luck of the Irish with a string of sporting events going its way since the summer.
There was Imogen simply looking forward "to a drink after a
long shoot" at the Call of Duty party the other night when...
IT was a war game launch party... and the VIP area nearly turned into a battlefield.
Across the country, all sorts of boys are chatting in excitable voices about Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3.
This afternoon, we
trotted along to Essex to see Mark Wright for chat...
McFly's Dougie Poynter could be the latest star heading Down Under for this year's I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
HERE'S one for all you Man Utd fans out there.
Pictures have her wearing a sexy tight T-shirt emblazoned with the words "too hot to handle"
Imogen Thomas: "My
twitter friends. I've finally moved house...
Someone get Nicole Richie on the phone. Now.
AS the bigmouth presenter of Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson has joked his way out of his fair share of controversy and scandal.
Imogen Thomas: "Loving my goodybag! Needed a new ipad thank u."
"If I got a job down to every person I've s****ed I'd be a megastar!"
1) Wearing a white dress is virtually impossible for the 'normal' woman, so when a celebrity wears one and gets it right, we feel all kinds of angry that we don't have a personal trainer and a stylist to get us in to one too.
She may have made sexy shapes with a married man, but Imogen Thomas sure does look pwetty when she's got her gob shut. After staring at all sorts of pictures of Imogen attempting to attract the press's attention, it's nice to see her looking simple and sexy in a nice plain frock at last night's Lingerie Awards.
Derek Hough: "Finally! Welcome to the Twitterverse Dimples ;) @cherylcole"
Showing off her spiritual side (hopefully covered in plenty of sun tan lotion), Imogen Thomas seems to be at one with the universe as she assumes a praying posture in Marbella.
It must be quite nice to be a paparazzi photographer at the moment - you basically get to sit on the beach all day in Marbella, hiding your tanned face behind a copy of the Mirror with eyes-holes cut into it, and then occasionally putting down your cocktail and picking up your camera to snap a passing "star" of TOWIE or similar. It certainly beats hanging around outside The Ivy in the rain hoping to catch a glimpse of Christopher Biggins.
It's easy to forget how nice to look at Imogen Thomas is when she's not farting around trying to attract the press's attention with her boobs out. Here she is following dinner in Mayfair, wearing a respectable hot pink number and white platforms, not looking as if she's about to trample on someone's relationship in an 'I eat boyfriends' t-shirt. Sure the dinner was at Nobu, where you're guaranteed to find a pap or two, but you've got to start somewhere...
PADDY Power's profits jumped 15% even after a £3million Champions League final pay-out.

Ice Cube Gets Angry Over Pumpkin Bisque and Lavender Body Wash
Actor and rap legend Ice Cube can be pretty intense -- it's part of his charm, really! -- and his signature angry face and enraged voice only add to the laughs in this week's '22 Jump Street.' (Yes, pretty much just like they did with 2012's '21 Jump Street'). Cube is so intense, in fact, that he can make anything (even nice things) sound super-serious, a skill that Jimmy Kimmel put to the test on his show last night.
Jennifer Lopez Cuts Loose in Jimmy Fallon's "Tight Pants" Showdown
Imagine a mythical land -- a small town, really -- where there's only room for just one inhabitant to sport some tight, tight pants. How would people challenge each other for tight-pants supremacy? Last night on 'The Tonight Show,' just such a showdown hit the screen, when host Jimmy Fallon deluded himself into thinking his tight pants could somehow prove to be better, badder and tighter than Jennifer Lopez's tight pants.
'Star Wars' Nerdgasm Choir Grunts Their Praises on 'Conan'
You may have heard that they are making a new 'Star Wars' film -- actually, they're making a whole mess of new 'Star Wars' films, but you get the drift. Even if you're well aware of the production, you probably don't react to any bit of news about the film in the same way as Conan O'Brien's all-grunting, all-groaning 'Star Wars' Nerdgasm Choir, making their debut on last night's 'Conan.'
Watch Conan O'Brien Star in an Awful '80s Training Video
This may sound hard to believe, but back when Conan O'Brien arrived in Los Angeles as a starry-eyed (and possibly starving) television writer about three decades ago, gigs weren't just raining from the sky. The future late-night host had to take on some strange bits to make ends meet, including popping up in this NAMM (that's National Association of Music Merchants, in case you're not hip to esoteric professional groups) training video as the "opinionated type of customer."
Maya Rudolph's 'Unqualified Advice' for Job Seekers Calls for "Porky Pigging It"
Maya Rudolph is really good at a lot of things -- stuff she gets to do professionally, which is awesome for both her and us -- but she's also deeply terrible at a wide variety of skills, like giving some 'Tonight Show'-branded 'Unqualified Advice' to fans looking for some practical and financially minded advice.
Jimmy Fallon Wants Your Weird Screengrabs for 'The Tonight Show'
'Tonight Show' host Jimmy Fallon has been farming out plenty of his gags lately, asking his audience to send in various funny bits as they fit certain themes. Last night, he shared a batch of loyal fan-submitted screengrabs from both the internet and television -- a selection of some strange pictures, mismatched text, and a Captcha so bizarre that its hidden message popped up (tee hee) throughout the rest of the segment.
'Star Wars: Episode 7 – Greedo Gets His Groove Back' and More 'Conan' Alternate Titles
Not sold on the rumored 'Star Wars: Episode 7' title, 'The Ancient Fear'? It's okay, you're not the only one; even director J.J. Abrams doesn't seem too excited to slap such a moniker on his first 'Star Wars' film (though, this is the guy who made a film called 'Star Trek Into Darkness,' so it certainly could be worse).
Donald Sterling Has Lots More to Say in Conan O'Brien's "Unearthed" Tapes
If there's anyone who could find even a smidgen of actual humor in the entire Donald Sterling incident, it just might be Conan O'Brien. The late-night host took to 'Conan' last night to put a spin on the Los Angeles Clippers owners' recorded racist rant, and it's one that has a pretty clever series of punchlines.
'Community' Star Joel McHale Shares His "Killer Coyote" Story With David Letterman
You'd think that Los Angeles, a booming metropolis, would be relatively safe for humans. You'd be wrong. Turns out, even if you live mere steps away from Hollywood Blvd., you might still encounter a coyote or a rattlesnake or something even more wild -- at least, if you're Joel McHale.
Chelsea Handler Assures Conan She Is Not Retiring
If you've been following the late-night show shake-ups of the past few months -- starting with Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers taking over the NBC slots, moving right into David Letterman announcing his retirement, and currently stalled out with the news that Craig Ferguson will also be leaving his own CBS show -- you might also be aware that Chelsea Handler is leaving her own E! show. But she is not retiring.

Allow Laying Hens in the City of Edmonton
I am adding my name to the growing numbers of citizens asking for 'Animal Licensing and Control Bylaw 13145' to be amended toallow laying hens within the City of Edmonton.
Chickens have lived symbiotically with humans for thousands of years for a large variety of sensible reasons. As pets, they are friendly and social. Hens are quieter than, and pose no risk of aggressive violence like dogs. They're more easily contained than an outdoor cat. By virtue of their small size, hens are better suited to the small spaces offered by the urban environment than many pets currently allowed by the bylaw.
Unlike other pets, hens provide the following benefits to their owners and community:
In keeping with Edmonton's progressive nature, I ask that council follow the lead of many cities who have already led the way [Vancouver, Victoria, Guelph, Portland, Los Angeles, New York, Seattle, etc], and allow hens within the City of Edmonton.
high quality local food [eggs]chemical-free insect control in gardensreduced haulage of city waste by consuming household kitchen wasterich soil amendment from composted manureincreased connection to one's food sourceincreased local food security
Kelvin Zaruk
We grow our own gardens for food so why not raise hens for the purpose of home grown eggs?
This is brilliant! Live life with more sustainability. Make individuals more responsible.
Margaret Beaton
I would like to sign up for the pilot project. I've recently moved into the city from an acreage and miss my chickens.

text: 15 March 2012 Manatee Protections Expanded in Kings Bay, Florida Posted by: Caitlin Leutwiler | 2 comments | Share: BREAKING: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service today announced the establishment of a manatee refuge in the waters of Florida's Kings Bay that will expand protections for manatees at Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge. The new rules designate most of Kings Bay as a slow-speed area, limit high-speed activities in a popular summer water sports area, provide temporary no-entry areas and allow for expansion of "manatee sanctuary" areas where waterborne activities would be prohibited on especially cold days to shelter manatees. The regulations also ban chasing or pursuing manatees, disturbing or touching them while they are feeding or resting, and separating a mother and a calf. Elizabeth Fleming, Florida representative for Defenders of Wildlife, said, "Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge is the most important wintering site for manatees in northwest Florida and one of the best places to see manatees in the entire state. By adopting these new rules, the Fish and Wildlife Service has taken a first step towards helping the refuge better serve its purpose—to safeguard this vulnerable marine mammal. However, without the removal of the dangerous high-speed water sports zone, manatees and people will continue to be at risk in Kings Bay." Manatee deaths reached a record high of 766 in 2010, followed by the death of over 450 animals in 2011. Nearly 400 of these died from exposure during an extended period of cold weather. Due to its naturally occurring warm water springs, Kings Bay, Fla. has been increasingly popular among wintering manatees. But despite the existing network of sanctuaries and other protections in Kings Bay, it remains a very dangerous waterway as manatees are hit by fast-moving boats and harassed by tourists wanting to interact with them. Having flexibility for managers to increase the area and duration of warm-water sanctuary areas will help ensure that manatees in Kings Bay will survive cold winters. YOU DID IT! Defenders supporters generated almost 54,000 comments in favor of stronger protections for manatees in Kings Bay. Thanks for all your help! 2 Responses to "Manatee Protections Expanded in Kings Bay, Florida" Paul Crooks March 17th, 2012 hmmm… I certainly wouldn't like to be pummelled by a vessel travelling at 25mph. We can only hope that people comply and that these new reg's are well policed with any violations well publicised – indeed, this is a "first step". Reply Post Your Comment Click here to cancel reply.

Refuges need relief Congress and the president must do a better job in providing for America's National Wildlife Refuge System.
