Crisis Equestria has a wide cast of characters, hailing from two different dimensions. Naturally, one would expect a Character page to keep track of such a diverse cast.This is that page.
open/close all folders
The Mane Six
The heroines of the story; the six ponies representing the Elements of Harmony have found themselves in a new, hostile world. In order to make their way home, they must brave treacherous terrain and the twisted forces of nature, all the while trying to keep their little group from falling apart at the seams...Also, seeing as how one of the big pulls of this fic are the action scenes, the Mane 6 are treated to a substantial power boost later on in the fic, enhancing their individual abilities to levels beyond what they were capable of in the show.
Tropes applying to the Six as a whole:
Twilight Sparkle: Magic of the Arcane
The de-facto leader of the Mane Six. Now in the hostile environment of Equestria-V, though, she must learn to put her leadership skills into practice if she and her friends are to make it home in one piece.As an Arcanist, Twilight is capable of channeling the power of the Stars, causing her power to grow in relation to the bond she has with her friends.
Applejack: Honest Earth
Rainbow Dash: Loyal Lightning
Rarity: Generous Gifter
Fluttershy: Kind Creatures
Pinkie Pie: Laughter Unlimited
Flathoof & Lockwood
A duo of Stallions who aid the Mane 6 in their quest to return home. Flathoof is a Reasonable Authority Figure that bonds with Applejack while Lockwood is the guy who helps keep the larger group together along with Fluttershy.
Tropes that apply to both:
Flathoof: Reasonable Authority Figure
Lockwood: Pain Reliever
The Chronomancers
Tropes applying to Chrononmancers as a whole:
Tick Tock: Master of Time
The Chronomancer of Equestria-V. Serves as a guide for the Mane Six in their travels. Is the primary target of aggression from Silvertongue and his minions, as Silvertongue considers her involvement a threat to his schemes.
Time Turner: The DoctorThe Chronomancer of the Mane six's home dimension. It's kinda his fault this whole shindig happened, actually. Closing interdimensional portals is part of his job.
Silvertongue and his Minions
The ruler of New Pandemonium. Silvertongue, along with his various associates and loyal minions run the chaotic city with an iron hoof and a... silver tongue. Cunning, ruthless, efficient, and warden to an all-powerful goddess of darkness, Silvertongue is a force to be reckoned with in the world of Equestria-V.
Lord Silvertongue: Master Schemer
Shadowstep: Master Assassin
The Mean Six
The primary villains of the fic, they are cloned evil counterparts of the the Mane Six that serve their father and creator, Lord Silvertongue, loyally. Their main goal is originally to corrupt and turn the Mane Six into weapons for their father to use against Harmonia, but their violent tendencies have quickly turned that mission into one of search & destroy. They are dangerous and look upon others with disdain and hatred, and are united as a family in their mission.
Tropes applying to the Six as a whole:
Starlight Shadow: Master of the Void
The evil clone of Twilight Sparkle, representing the Element of Magic (Discord). The uncontested leader of the Elements of Discord, to the point that the other call her �Boss� rather than by her name; this lasts until Chapter 25, where events leave her out of the top position by choice. Youngest of the six, as her original's name was alphabetically last in order.
Cura�ao: Deceptive Illusions

St. Sabina's Pfleger takes on 'The Bachelor' for degrading women
BY MAUDLYNE IHEJIRIKA Staff Reporter firstname.lastname@example.com January 19, 2012 12:56PM
Rev. Michael Pfleger | Scott Stewart~Sun-Times
Article Extras
Updated: February 21, 2012 8:38AM
He's led headline-grabbing campaigns against tobacco and alcohol billboards and the sale of drug paraphernalia in inner city neighborhoods and against suburban gun shops he says make it far too easy for guns to enter those communities.
The Rev. Michael Pfleger has challenged gangsta and other disrespectful rappers whose lyrics degrade women, picketed "The Jerry Springer Show" for doing the same, and blasted radio shock jock Howard Stern as being sleazy and disrespecting black folks.
Now, the outspoken pastor of St. Sabina Catholic Church is taking on reality TV — specifically, "The Bachelor."
"I can't believe that organizations like the National Organization for Women and others are not condemning shows like this. It just made me sick," says Pfleger, who said he discovered the show while channel surfing Monday night.
The ABC series — featuring a dating competition where a male contestant must choose from among a gaggle of women who are eliminated over the course of the season until one remains — premiered in March 2002.
"I hadn't really watched it," says Pfleger.
"I'd gotten home that evening and was kind of channel surfing when I came across it, and thought, well, let me watch it. I probably caught the last half hour, and I was just sitting there feeling angry," he said.
"This whole concept, I mean, how sick is this that 25 women are throwing their bodies and their hearts at this one man, who is having all these little romantic runs with the different women here and there, and the women are doing whatever they gotta do to try and get him. How degrading is this for women?" the South Side priest said.
"I mean these women were crying their eyes out when they weren't accepted, and one even fell out on the floor, and I'm just amazed that this show is allowed to go on," he said. "What is this teaching our young girls about what it takes to gain the acceptance of a man, and doing whatever you gotta do to sell yourself?"
Publicists for the show, which also spawned a version for male suitors, "The Bachelorette," now in its seventh season, declined to respond to the priest's searing criticism. "Sorry, we have no comment," said New York publicist Cathy Rehl.
Pfleger initially made his comments about the show during a Bible study class at his church earlier in the week.
Pfleger said "The Bachelor" and similar shows are just as egregious as the rappers who degrade women with their lyrics.
"To me, this is just as negative," he said. "And if we're going to condemn negative rappers, particularly African-American rappers, calling women names and degrading them, which is wrong, then let's equally do it with shows like 'The Bachelor.' The whole principle of this show is wrong.
"The women cry, fight and plot against each other, acting as if they are a piece of meat being dangled from a hook for the bachelor's selection," Pfleger said. "In one episode, the bachelorettes climbed the San Francisco [Bay] Bridge and even went skiing in bikinis. They fell and purposely bent over just so the bachelor could see their most private parts. The whole thing should just make us all sick."

NAPLES, Fla.- Naples Police arrested a juvenile yesterday, who is accused in a violent home invasion robbery that happened on June 3.
During the robbery, a male known to the victims knocked on the front door, then forcibly entered the residence with two additional suspects. The suspects possessed a handgun, and utilized it to pistol-whip the one of the victims striking him several times in the head. The suspects then zip-tied two victims hands and legs and ransacked a bedroom. While the robbery continued, the one victim was able to escape outside and yell for help.
The suspects fled the residence driving a white Cadillac vehicle. The victim advised that the suspects removed items valued over $300 from his residence. The victim positively identified the 17-year-old suspect, an acquaintance, as one of the robbery suspects.
Yesterday, authorities located and arrested the teen in East Naples. He was charged with armed robbery, burglary and grand theft.
Detectives are continuing the investigation, and developing information to connect the two additional suspects.

Bald Head Island is a place like no other. It is a place to relax and
renew with family and your significant other. The seclusion and beauty
force you to slow and enjoy the feeling of life in 'turtle time.'
Kids have fun the way kids had fun 100 years ago -
building sand castles, riding bikes, riding the waves and flying kites.
Accessible only by passenger ferry, travel on the island
is by golf cart, walking or roller blades.
Our Villa is ideally located within walking distance to the beach,
pool or club. The club facilities include casual poolside dining or elegant
club dining, the George Cobb golf course, tennis courts, children's
playground, fitness room and rocking chairs on the clubhouse veranda.
Once you disembark from the scenic 20-minute ferry ride from the
mainland, a tram will take you and your luggage to the Villa
where your six person golf cart will be waiting in the garage ready to
explore the island. And for such a small place, there is lots to see.
Dining options include cooking at home out on the gas grill or in a
fully equipped kitchen after shopping in a very well equipped Maritime
Market, or casual elegance in the dining rooms at the Bald Head Island Club
or overlooking the ocean at The Shoals Club.
In the harbor you can roll up your sleeves and get a steam pot filled
with crab legs, clams, musels, shrimp, potatoes and corn on the
cob while sitting outdoors and harborside at MoJoe's on the Harbour.
The hardest part of going to Bald Head is leaving!
Golfing, fishing, swimming, shell collecting, kayaking, canoeing,
lighthouse climbing. Fine dining and so much more!

Only one game on the schedule but it was a big one, a rematch of the Vikings worst defeat of the year. In early January, North Shore traveled to Seaford and lost 76-35. The 41 points were tough to swallow and the Vikings were eager to play their south shore foes again. The game started as all of them have, with a fast pace and every Viking contributing. Despite 5 points by Kathleen Lennon and 2 steals by Christina DeMeo in the quarter, the Vikings found themselves down 15-12 to start the second frame. In the second quarter, behind Christine Castiglione's 6 points, the North Shore offense really began to click as they scored 21 points to take a 33-30 lead at the half. The second half was more of the same as the two teams traded baskets. The score was tied at 41 with 4:00 to go in the third quarter, when the Vikings went on their trademark run. The constant pressure defense and the up-tempo pace began to wear down their opponents. And behind Jacki Gioia's (10 points, 6 rebounds, 3 steals) 6 points in the 4th quarter North Shore closed the game on a 22-7 run to win 63-48. In the game the Vikings were led by Kathleen Lennon (20 points, 24 rebounds, 4 assists and 5 steals) and Amanda Johansen's third triple-double of the season (14 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists and 5 steals) to avenge their earlier loss. The turnaround accounted for a 56 point swing from the last time these two teams played. The win finds the girls tied for 4th place in conference ABC-II with one week to play. The next and final home game for the Vikings is Friday, Feb. 5 at 6 p.m. Come out and support the Vikings as they prepare for the playoffs and congratulate their seniors (Regan Falk, Elle Hoffman, Kathleen Lennon and Jen Melgar) on Senior Night!
Peter Zientara and Martin Carmody both swam amazing races recently at the Eastern Invitational meet. They competed against swimmers from both NY and NJ. Martin Carmody swam a flawless 100-yard backstroke and an exciting 50-yard freestyle. Peter Zientara swam two very strong races and ultimately qualified for Nassau County championships in both the 100-yard and 200-yard freestyle. Peter will compete in the Nassau County Championships Friday evening, where he will swim against Nassau County's best swimmers. Coaches congratulated both swimmers on an excellent season.
The seventh-grade girls' volleyball team had a terrific season culminating in an away victory against Manhasset. The girls mastered the difficult skills of the bump (forearm pass), the set and the serve. Even more exciting was the way they played the whole court diving or sliding to get to a ball. Very few balls landed between players.
"As a coach, it was my pleasure to see how these girls pulled together and formed a cohesive unit who played together so well and made new friends within the team. They were ably led by the captains: Selena Guastella, Sara Testa, Dana Congero and Luz Machaca."
They ended the season with an impressive record of 7 wins and 4 losses. They were a wonderful group of girls who made Glen Cove Schools very proud every time they set foot on the court. "I thoroughly enjoyed coaching them every day," said their coach.
A Jan. 20 bye for the basketball team, meant only one game this week, a showdown with the first place Rough Riders of Roosevelt. This game was a rematch of a previous conference game; a game in which the Vikings lost to the Rough Riders 70-52 and they were looking for a little revenge. In the first quarter, the Vikings started with their trademark run, trap, sub and run style and despite some missed opportunities by the Vikings the pace favored North Shore as Roosevelt opened up a 14-9 lead. In the second quarter, however, the pressure really began to bother the much taller Roosevelt and behind the three-point shooting of Elle Hoffman and Jackie Gioia, the girls won the quarter 21-13 to take a 30-27 halftime lead. Basketball is a game of runs, though, and Roosevelt went on theirs to stake a 45-41 lead entering the fourth quarter. The teams traded baskets for the first 6 minutes of the fourth quarter, until the pressure of the Vikings full court press finally broke down the Rough Riders and the Vikings went on their run. Down 52-49 with under 2 minutes to play, the scoring blitz began. With 1:35 left on the clock Jackie Gioia hit her third 3-pointer of the game to tie the score at 52. After a Roosevelt basket, Erin Sheerin drove to her left and hit Elle Hoffman (16 points) who sank her fourth 3-pointer of the game to take over the lead 55-54. After a North Shore steal, Kathleen Lennon, who scored a career high 22 points, hit her second 3-pointer of her career to put North Shore up 58-54 with 24 seconds to go. After a Roosevelt basket, Amanda Johansen hit four straight free throws to seal the 62-56 win. Amanda, a sophomore, finished with 8 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists and 5 steals, just barely missing her third triple-double of the season. In JV news, it was more of the same, as the girls improved to 12-1 on the year with a 40-17 victory over Roosevelt. The next home game for both teams is Friday, Jan. 30 against the Vikings of Seaford. Come out and support both teams!
Playing three league games in five days, the girls played toe-to-toe with the best in the county and despite three losses, played very well in all three games. In their first game of the week, the Vikings took on Roslyn. Down 18-9 at the end of the first quarter, they scored 25 points in the second period, behind Elle Hoffman's 9 points in the frame, to cut the lead to 36-34 at the half. The fast pace of the game continued in the second half and despite a 64-50 deficit with 5 minutes to go in the game, the Vikings made a furious comeback, behind Kathleen Lennon's 18 points and 14 rebounds, but ultimately fell 72-64. Then, two days later, the girls took on the Falcons of Locust Valley. As they entered the final period, down 52-39, the fourth quarter pace seemed to favor the Vikings as they cut into the lead behind the inspired play of Erin Sheerin and Christine Castiglione. Ultimately, their comeback fell short as Locust Valley triumphed 62-56. North Shore finished their week against the Green Dragons of Westbury. Behind Elle Hoffman's three straight 3-pointers and Kathleen Lennon's 11 points in the quarter, the girls cut the lead to 58-54 with 22 seconds left. A steal by Liz Sheerin on the in-bounds pass put the Vikings in the driver's seat, but they missed three straight shots and Westbury held on for a 60-54 win. In the game, sophomore Amanda Johansen recorded her second triple-double of the year with 11 points, 14 rebounds, 10 steals and 5 assists. The girls now sit in fourth place in Conference ABC-II as they prepare for a rematch showdown with Roosevelt on Saturday, Jan. 23 at 2 p.m.
The Glen Cove High School Wrestling Team has been building off early season success. The JV team continues to develop into a strong unit. First-year freshmen Jerry Ho and Dane Caufield earned their first victories of their careers in December. Freshman Chris Klimaszewski earned three wins over the break. Brian Pattison, JP Benitez, Jakub Micko and Robbie Krisch continue to pick up pins. Andrew Gescedi and Erik Dillon picked up wins at the Big Red Challenge. Harrison Smith continues to dominate the mats.
The first week of 2010 was a roller-coaster week for the North Shore Girl's Varsity Basketball team. Entering the week 1-1 and tied for second in the very competitive Conference ABC-II, the girls traveled to Seaford to take on their southern Long Island Vikings counterparts. The game did not go how the North Shore Vikings had hoped as Seaford pounced on the girls and went up 25-8 in the first quarter. North Shore seemed out of sync offensively and one step too slow on defense as they were not able to stop the Seaford onslaught. Not much changed in the second quarter, however, as the girls were down 43-17 at the half. Seaford put North Shore away in the third quarter en route to a 76-35 defeat for North Shore.
Two bright spots for North Shore were Jen Melgar and Bridget Lincoln who hit back-to-back three-pointers in the third quarter to spark a 10-0 run for the Vikings. There was no time to wallow for the girls, however, as they had to take on a very strong team from Oyster Bay on Friday. This was part of a Varsity double-header at North Shore and the girls put on a show for the large crowd. Eager to shake off the dust of their previous game, North Shore exploded out of the gate. Using their trademark constant pressure and trapping game, the Vikings turned this one into a track meet. In the first quarter, North Shore used all 15 girls on their team and had eight different players score to take a 20-19 lead. The offensive firepower was sparked by Liz Sheerin who hit two early threes for North Shore. It was more of the same in the second quarter as both teams seemed willing and able to run and gun up the court. After constant up and down the court fast breaking, North Shore found themselves down 43-41 at the half (which is around the Nassau County point total average for a game). It was more of the same in the third, as the girls were down 62-57 to start the final quarter. This game came down to the fourth quarter, when North Shore's pressure finally seemed to break Oyster Bay. Tremendous defense was played by Christine Castiglione and Micaela Dussel (three steals each) and the entire team, as they totaled 19 steals and over 40 forced turnovers. In the fourth, the girls were led by Amanda Johansen (8 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists), Kathleen Lennon (14 points and 14 rebounds) and Erin Sheerin who had career highs in both rebounds (10) and points (13), for her first career, double-double. The clutch performer of the game, however, was Elle Hoffman who hit a three-pointer with 45-seconds left to break a 73-73 tie and the Vikings held on for a 76-75 victory. In the game, Elle Hoffman, a three-year senior on the varsity, scored a career high 17 points, with 15 of those points coming on 5-8 shooting from 3-point range.
On Wednesday, Dec. 23 North Shore Wrestlers had their league opener hosting Cold Spring Harbor. After losing the first match of the night, North Shore went on to win every other contested match beating the Sea Hawks 54- 17. The Vikings were led by Seniors Pierce Jensen and Tom Shaw who both pinned their opponents. Juniors Nick Capparrelli and Jim Dromm also recorded pins while the Sea Hawks forfeited around junior Dean Shmuley. Recording their first varsity wins were sophomores Jake Alverson, Matt Abromawitz and freshman Adam Lavander. Rounding out the lineup was sophomore Mike Mendolson and freshman Dan Grabher who both recorded wins.
On Tuesday, Dec. 22, 2009 Newsday announced that Dan Belfiore was named 2nd team All Long Island Defensive End. "Congratulations from the Athletic Department," said A.D. Dr. Scott Silverman.

FORT MYERS, Fla. - An 81 year old man is behind bars, accused of trying to abduct two underage girls as they were walking home from their school bus stops in Fort Myers.
The girls told police, the man was aggressive and demanded they get in his truck.
A 14 year old girl we are not identifying says, "He was like get in the car, and I was like "no" and he was like "get in the car! "
She had just gotten off the school bus, when she says 81 year old Edward Peters pulled up beside her in his car.
The girls says, "He was like, did I need a ride?"
The girl says she told him "no." That's when police say he got aggressive with her, demanding she get in his car.
The girl says, "He was really old and wrinkly and he had a bandage, like he just got blood drawn from his arm, he was nasty."
She ran home and told her mother, and the two began to look for Peters.
The girls mother says, "We can't let him get away, that was my first reaction."
Meanwhile, the teen took pictures of Peters' vehicle.
The mom says, "We were following him and he picked up ,attempted to pick up another girl getting off the bus at another stop"
The mother of the other girl tells us her 17-year-old ignored Peters and continued to walk.
"It shook her up because you know, a perverts around here trying to get her in his car."
The first girl and her mom chased Peters and caught him! They confronted him.
"I Better not ever catch you near my daughter ever!"
Then they called police, and Peters was arrested.
During first appearance the judge asked Peters, "Sir are you going to hire an attorney?."
He responded, " I don't know I have to call my wife."
Peters also denied the allegations.
"Sir, you can not have any contact with any contact with any children unless you're lawfully able to do so."
Peters responded, "I never did!"
The mothers are just happy their children are safe with Peters behind bars.

This is a page listing characters in the Alien series.Works with their own pages:
open/close all folders
The franchise in general:
Ellen Ripley
Ellen L. Ripley
Played By: Sigourney Weaver
"You are my lucky star..."The primary protagonist and hero—in fact, is ranked #8 on AFI's "Heroes" List—Ripley is probably the most famous character in the franchise aside from the titular xenomorph. Probably the most level-headed member of the crew, demonstrating an impressive amount of bravery and taking a few levels in badass when dealing with the xenomorph. De-facto leader of the crew on the basis of being the most proactive member.The sole human survivor of the Nostromo Incident and the only constant character in the franchise apart from the xenomorphs.Sole survivor of the Nostromo incident, Ripley is awakened from hypersleep 57 years later. She gets suspended by the Weyland-Yutani company for "questionable judgment" regarding the ship's self-destruction, finds out her daughter died a while ago (well, in the Director's Cut...) and that LV-426, the planet where they encountered the xenomorphs, is now colonized.Once the colony predictably loses contact with Earth, Ripley accompanies the Badass Crew of Space Marines as a civilian advisor, and finds herself as de facto leader alongside Corporal Hicks due to unforeseen consequences. In the resulting struggle with the xenomorphs, Ripley gains more levels in badass and becomes one of the most awesome Action Girls in cinema.For tropes relating to the Ripley 8 clone, see the character page for Alien: Resurrection.
The Aliens
The Aliens / Xenomorphs
The primary antagonists of the series—the original one is #14 on AFI's "Villains" List—these parasitic extraterrestrials are predatory creatures with no higher goals than the propagation of their species and the destruction of life that could pose a threat. Aliens are vaguely bipedal in form, though they often adopt a more hunched, quadrupedal stance when walking or sprinting. In addition, they integrate the genetic material of their hosts into themselves and as such their adult form varies depending on their host. They have a skeletal, biomechanical appearance and are usually colored in muted shades of black, blue or bronze in the films; the toyline-exclusive Xenomorphs sported various colours. The films show the following Xenomorphs:
The first film:
Nostromo Crew
The Nostromo Crew
Played By: Veronica Cartwright, Ian Holm, John Hurt, Yaphet Kotto, Harry Dean Stanton, Tom Skerrit & Sigourney WeaverThe Nostromo is a commercial towing vessel owned by the enormous Weyland-Yutani Corporation. It hauls a massive ore refinery along with 20 millions tons of raw ore. It also has a self destruct sequence and an escape shuttle, The Narcissus. It's manned by seven crew members... and one cat.
Dallas Koblenz Arthur
Played By: Tom SkerrittThe laid-back captain of the Nostromo; he has sole access to Mother, the on-board computer. Despite his nonchalant and casual-seeming attitude, his leadership and decision-making skills become increasingly evident.
Joan Marie Lambert
Played By: Veronica CartwrightThe navigator of the Nostromo. Disinclined to taking risks beyond the confines of her console, she resents being chosen as one of the team to explore the derelict, and later angry with Ripley for her decision to leave Kane, Dallas and herself outside of the ship when the facehugger was attached to Kane.
Thomas Kane
Played By: John HurtThe Executive Officer aboard the Nostromo. During the investigation of the derelict space ship, he incautiously moves to get a closer look at one of the unusual 'pod' forms encountered and from this an unknown life-form (later known as an Ovomorph, or face-hugger) attaches itself to his face and (unknown to him and to the crew) impregnates him with an alien creature.

Xenakis 5 May 2013 post a comment This morning's key headlines from GenerationalDynamics.com Wall Street stock market continues dangerous parabolic bubble Libor banker fraud may be eclipsed by the ISDAfix fraud Orthodox Jewish woman sues Lancome over makeup failure Wall Street stock market continues dangerous parabolic bubble Wall Street Long-time readers are well aware of the Generational Dynamics prediction that the world is headed for a major global financial panic and crisis, causing all bubbles to implode, including the stock market, commodity and gold bubbles. It's impossible to predict when that will happen, or what event will trigger the panic, but every once in a while I try to point out a time when things look particularly dangerous. One of those times is now. A couple of months ago, I warned that the stock market was rising rapidly and becoming dangerously parabolic. That parabolic rise is continuing. The S&P 500 Price/Earnings ratio (also called "valuations") was at 18.45 on Friday morning, according to the Wall Street Journal. Friday's huge stock market surge spiked the P/E ratio up to 18.63 by the end of the day -- above the extremely high levels that it reached during the massive real estate and credit bubble of the 2006-2007 time period. The S&P 500 P/E ratio has been above its historical average (14) continuously since 1995, and by the Law of Mean Reversion will crash to around 6 or lower, as it last did in 1982, and stock prices will fall proportionately. According to my Dow Jones historical page, the market is now at 218% of its current long-term historical trend line value of 6838. This is an extremely high bubble level, though not as high as the 264% that it reached on the peak on October 8, 2007. However, this may indicate that the new parabolic bubble may surge even further before crashing. To say that there is no rational explanation for this parabolic stock market spike is an understatement. China's economy is slowing, and Europe's economy is going down the tubes, while America's economy is about to be hit by the Obamacare train wreck and financial disaster. The major factor causing the stock market spike is the Fed's "printing" of $85 billion per month of new liquidity for banks. According to mainstream "economists," that money should be going out as loans to individuals and small businesses, which it is not. Instead, that money is making its way to investment bankers and wealthy investors who are using the money to expand the stock market bubble. (See my report in 17-Apr-13 World View for how wealthy investors can borrow millions of dollars from Interactive Brokers at 1.3% interest and then invest the money in the stock market.) A second reason why money is pouring into Wall Street is apparently that many investors are fleeing Europe. The Cyprus bailout, which confiscated 60% of the assets of wealthy investors, and the statements of European politicians that it could happen again, is frightening large investors into taking their money out of European banks, according to some reports, and some of this money is reaching Wall Street. It used to be that I was advising (American) readers to keep their money in FDIC insured bank accounts, and that's probably still the best bet, though if you live in a house with a safe basement, you may wish to keep some cash hidden behind a loose brick. Some people suggest "investing" your money on self-defense and survival type items, everything from food to weapons. The Cyprus bailout shows what happens when politicians become desperate. Three months ago, confiscating 60% of bank accounts was so completely unthinkable that the mere suggestion would have drawn contemptuous laughter. But now it's a fact. What will the politicians in the Obama administration do when they become desperate? It's impossible to predict, but it's certainly clear that nothing is off the table. Libor banker fraud may be eclipsed by the ISDAfix fraud I was amused by the beginning of Mike Taibbi's story in Rolling Stone: "Conspiracy theorists of the world, believers in the hidden hands of the Rothschilds and the Masons and the Illuminati, we skeptics owe you an apology. You were right. The players may be a little different, but your basic premise is correct: The world is a rigged game. We found this out in recent months, when a series of related corruption stories spilled out of the financial sector, suggesting the world's largest banks may be fixing the prices of, well, just about everything." Well, I'm certainly not a conspiracy theorist, nor have I ever blamed the Rothschilds, Masons or Illuminati, nor have I ever said that the world was a rigged game. What I HAVE said is that many Generation-Xers, united in their hatred of the Boomer generation of their parents, got masters degrees in "financial engineering" in the 1990s, and then went into the big banks and purposely created tens of trillions of dollars in fraudulent securities. And I've said that journalists like Taibbi paint these financial engineers as innocent victims, and that nobody in the Obama administration, which receives huge campaign contributions from the banksters, is willing to process these criminals. And I've related this generational behavior to generational hatreds in other places and times. (See "The Legacy of World War I and the Holocaust".) So now Taibbi is changing his mind and apologizing, as he comes to understand what I said years ago: That the same people are still in the same jobs in the same banks, looking for new ways to defraud people. He's just discovered a new form of fraud, many times larger than the Libor fraud. The Libor fraud affected possibly tens of trillions of dollars in loan agreements, as banksters manipulated the rates so that they could make as much money as possible. But the IDSAfix is a number computed by a similar process, but it affects HUNDREDS of trillions of dollars in interest rate swaps. The banksters manipulated IDSAfix rates fraudulently for their own financial gain. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission is investigating ISDAfix rate fraud, but don't expect the Obama administration to prosecute anyone, no matter how massive the fraud. Campaign contributions from banks are just too lucrative. Rolling Stone / Mike Taibbi and Bloomberg Orthodox Jewish woman sues Lancome over makeup failure Orthodox Jewish women are not permitted to apply makeup on the Sabbath, and so they buy "24-hour" makeup and apply it the afternoon before, so they'll look fabulous all day. Rorie Weisberg, an Orthodox Jewish woman from Monsey, New York, is suing L'Oreal, claiming that the company's Lancome foundation Teint Idole Ultra 24H "faded significantly" overnight. Weisberg was testing out the makeup in preparation for her eldest son's bar mitzvah in June. Times of Israel Permanent web link to this article Receive daily World View columns by e-mail

The end result was a 41-24 Oakland victory at Network Associates Coliseum that sends the Raiders to San Diego for Super Bowl XXXVII and the Titans home wondering what might have been.
What might have been was a chance to pull the upset, had it not been for consecutive fumbles just before halftime and a botched punt attempt in the third quarter that wound up handing the potent Raiders 13 extra points.
The Titans had weathered the early aerial assault by Raiders quarterback and NFL Most Valuable Player Rich Gannon well enough to take a 17-14 lead with possession of the ball with 1:47 to play before halftime.
Then disaster struck – twice in a span of 58 seconds.
First, Titans running back Robert Holcombe was stripped of the ball by Raiders linebacker Eric Barton, and former Titan Anthony Dorsett recovered at the Titans 16.
"In this situation, it was really, really critical. It was down there in the red zone," Holcombe said. "You give a team the football on that part of the field, and nine times out of 10 they're going to put points on the board.
Gannon and the Raiders did just that, as he needed just two plays to make the Titans pay. First, Gannon hit Jerry Rice for 15 yards.Rice fumbled on the play, but recovered; then Gannon found tight end Doug Jolley on the next play for a score and a 20-17 edge.
Then, just 49 seconds before the half, John Simon fumbled the Raider kickoff, and Oakland recovered at the Tennessee 39.
"You want to go out there and do something great for your team," Simon said. "I was trying to fight for that extra yard, and it ended up backfiring on me."
Sebastian Janikowski made a 43-yard field goal as the half expired, putting the Raiders up, 24-17.
Still, the Titans felt good about their chances. They had to, considering that back in September they had gone into that same locker room down 31-7 at the half.
"We still were confident, but you can't give this team too many opportunities," defensive tackle John Thornton said. "I thought they were down and the pressure was starting to get to them. Being down at halftime at home would have been huge. We gave them the opportunity to get back into it, and they regrouped and took care of us after that."
Though Tennessee battled back and again got within three points in the second half, the Titans' battered pass defense eventually wore down from the 41 passes launched by Gannon for 29 completions, 286 yards and three touchdowns.
Throwing the football was the Raiders' bread and butter all season, and it was no different Sunday. Oakland rushed the ball just 17 times all game, and eight of those came on Gannon scrambles.
It added up to the Titans trying to keep up all game, and unable to, partially because of those key mistakes.
Another miscue came in the third period as Oakland unleashed a jailbreak rush on punter Craig Hentrich,who was forced to take cover, giving the Raiders the ball at the Tennessee 18. The Raiders tacked on three more points to extend their lead to 27-17, again putting the Titans' season in dire straits.
Again, though, it was Steve McNair to the rescue. McNair, who had engineered two first-half touchdown drives, plus another for a 29-yard Joe Nedney field goal, went back to work.
He took the Titans 67 yards in eight plays on the Titans' second possession, capping the drive himself with a 13-yard touchdown scramble. Hentrich, subbing for Joe Nedney, who injured his knee making a tackle on a kickoff, added the point-after to cut the lead to 27-24.
From that point, though, the Raiders took control, adding two fourth-quarter touchdowns to seal the victory and book their first Super Bowl trip in 19 years.
For Raiders coach Bill Callahan, that was icing on the Super Bowl cake. However, he pointed to the 10 points just before halftime as the critical juncture of the game.
"I thought that was the game right there, right before the half and the ability to maximize. I think we capitalized with 10 points on those two turnovers, and that was huge," said Callahan, whose team faces the NFC champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers and former Raiders coach Jon Gruden for the title next week.
For the Titans, who ended the season 12-6, they knew it would take winning time of possession (they did), running the football effectively (they did) and not making critical mistakes to make it to San Diego. Sunday, two out of three wasn't good enough.
"When you come from behind against a great team like the Raiders, you have to minimize your mistakes, and we just didn't take care of the ball early," said McNair, who finished 21 of 36 for 194 yards passing and added 53 more yards with two TDs on the ground. "We had an uphill climb, and we just didn't climb hard enough."
Injury update
Nedney said he hyperextended his right knee making a tackle on a kickoff and will have an MRI today.
He could not finish the game, and punter Craig Hentrich took over as placekicker with receiver Drew Bennett assuming Hentrich's holding duties.
Also, guard Zach Piller re-injured his calf muscle and did not finish the game. Cornerback Andre Dyson was unable to make it through the game with his injured shoulder, and wide receiver Justin McCareins suffered a concussion.

My job as an officer in the Marine Corps and and electric piggybacked the same time you know there the way I cope with my time in combat. Could be committing -- and I started in martial arts and all are aware -- -- -- are not much -- -- -- in special mixed martial art eat and eat your approach prior won one world title. One point per year could rank in the top ten middleweight fighter in the world what do you treat. And in Myanmar also became CEO. We're sure if they which is the -- creek near employment assistance organization. -- and we currently -- over eighteen a week. What's our system itself and -- job for Fy 23 nonprofit organization. That gets kicked off nationwide forty employees nationwide and on the week and now like all college football TPC and and I call you if he tried go to fox sports -- -- there have done to stop it you know Fox News CNN a couple of places -- just strictly talking about banner initiated and wanted to call and shell because I heard from the things that they you guys are speaking about the week and I'll like it was my obligation -- My entire family still lives in the area -- and I keep an awful awful lot and one on the show that you have. Well and I'm glad you did and and I and I think it's important that that we'd have a chance -- to talk with you knowing full well. Cool and why you are I also think you you know full well the northeastern Pennsylvania has always been a likely always will be. A place where military veterans. Are are easily found and a place where we're all too often sometimes men and women that get lost in the in the shuffle. We here have talked regularly I've written extensively about veterans' issues talk about veterans issues were always here. To help when we can -- -- -- heroes USA hopefully we'll be able to to do more -- learn more about that down the line Bryant. I really true except now as far as as you being a marine and that. Kevin Hagerty stay represented Kevin agony identifying himself as a -- for years. I have to ask Kevin Hagerty because I've heard many many storage and I'm somebody who tries to get corroboration. Who tries to do the responsible investigation. Who should get to the truth. For many many years we've heard stories about Kevin haggard as to what the circumstances. Although he is. Departure from the Marine Corps what what were the circumstances. Of his discharge what what. Happened at that -- Kevin -- to leave the Marine Corps Kevin Hagerty absolutely refuses to answer my questions. And with your background with your knowledge what kind of discharges. Are available for someone who after relatively short period of time. Blue -- the Marine Corps. Well I mean they they obviously did not complete their four year term of enlistment. If you do not hit an honorable discharge. It means that something went wrong you do something wrong when you called and you'd wanna be very more you can't get -- He can you can't just come by no longer want to serve you're gonna have to provide some kind of metal -- mental. Case. That make you aren't capable of -- to that point in the Middle East -- -- charge you. What an administrative discharge. Or you can get an spotted an honorable discharge should look for disciplinary treatment and under honorable discharge or not fairly folly pro life you'll have the court -- I -- federal job application like you do. If you're receiving a felony level discharge which it ain't bad conduct discharge. Or worse you can get a dishonorable discharge if someone you can -- honorable discharge -- can't -- atrocious. Come along -- a great. They were dealing drugs. It would come thinker on robbery. If you get a bad comic dish dirt and you've committed a felony and goat to discharge -- follow you like an -- and honorable discharge which you can get or something like. Hopping on a drug test for marijuana. Repetitive bad -- where you receive nonjudicial punishment more than three times and he and you're pushing a record for bad conduct. So if if you're not willing to admit. What's under your dish charger work that meet cute did not appear are a lot I can. In mold Casey did not get an honorable discharge there's nothing. Could be ashamed big discharged early. If you still received an honorable discharge which you may need some are. It would -- they're no longer -- to Serbia they got injured during operation -- Are you think still received an honorable discharge a -- injured or something happened. That you get something other -- an honorable discharge. If something went wrong -- did something wrong if you had to be -- out early you could not go kill your commitment your contract. And their armed force. I think I would never have raised this issue. How and Kevin Hagerty not raised the issue of his Marine Corps service when he campaigned the first time. When he campaigned the first time Kevin tiger he was posting photographs of himself. -- Paris island and since Kevin Hagerty opened that Marine Corps door. I figured I had an obligation to walk forward and ask him some questions now she can't attend -- A forum. In just up back. In December. Where someone in the audience did. Ask about his Marine Corps service the times Tribune. Didn't report on the story and what what the story says is there as well as mr. Hagerty status as a veteran. Mr. Hagerty told the woman in the crowd that he served in the Marines for three years. Got hurt and was administratively. Discharged. He stressed that this was not an honorable discharge or a dishonorable discharge. But rather a different category. And he does not consider himself a veteran. I am a United States marine that's something they can't be taken away does that make any sense. Make sense and in which -- and it makes sense -- you run your campaign. -- being hammering. And hearing you get to sway voters because they are gonna then identify you. We go to intangible values of our occurred -- commitment and 92 Marines -- general problem. If you do -- work. And you be next week discharge -- court better deal on honorable discharge if you got it diminished greatly discharge. Mean can't they more -- office. Here he refused serving more there was something that went wrong if there are still not an honorable. OK so so if he says -- she's quoted in the paper saying that his discharge. Was not an honorable discharge or a dishonorable discharge that means according to -- you know as a marine that's something more wrong. Take note go to -- you don't support end of the spectrum a charity you have an honorable discharge. Given administrative discharge an other than honorable discharge it bad conduct discharge. Then you pick to double Peter we call the military it dishonorable discharge it indicated. That this horrible discharge. You know you've spent in the democratic district he spent time in jail you went into the break and -- Years before you're a lot of our military and not getting a felony that followed you around. So you easily know he would not feel Oval Office with water would keep it short just. What -- under honorable discharge order administrative discharge that means something went wrong it's seeing. I have seen Marines -- separate from the military and administrative discharge. Failed a drug test for marijuana they were administratively discharged as an example. Of how you can get accepted discharged. OK that's it confuses me is why it. Kevin Hannity won't just settle this matter and lay his cards on the table she creates more mystery every time he refuses to answer the question. Exactly he would be awkward for some reason he got injured and you no longer wanted to serve and he talked among going to act entered the portable unit. And they administrative discharge and he -- -- -- thank you know he can at least say hey look out beyond -- and I didn't realize duke and ultimate sir. I think people can understand that you know what but it hiding from it it's gonna make people speculate on the bank it and. And that creates problems Brian stand it's good to talk to you won't look forward to talk with you again for your final words. In support of my find free you know what what would you leave us with. Two of the biggest saying it is the only reason I -- not compromise my integrity or anything the only thing that comes before my integrity is my wife my three children. I would serve frank well last year as a family member who married into the same way. And I was extremely proud of how we conduct himself regardless of how we can't -- come off by known person. And he cares an awful awful lot about theory he lives in the each user -- is -- and the people that live there so much self. Bet bet he gave up his current career capped another opportunity he had to run for office in its most proud accomplishment. Other than -- Sunday he -- Have been very proud of bipartisan he's been -- relationships he's built and how we actually to disagree with people down here. And yet maintain their respect. And I'm proud that he could just go forward in -- -- with his party. If you want to stay in their favor but he's voted -- police and park it right for the people of northeast Pennsylvania -- and -- at the same district and my entire Stanley -- of my mother. Still -- been in that mattered enough to meet call. -- then it's good to talk to we'll talk with you again. Thank you take care.

November 4, 2010
On Wednesday, Portland, Ore.-based TriMet's new bus fuel and wash facilities at the Merlo bus yard in Beaverton went into operation. The wash facility replaces one that had exceeded its life span, requiring repeated repairs over the years, while the fuel facility includes upgraded fuel storage tanks.
The new wash facility incorporates sustainability features, including reusing and recycling the water used to wash the buses, only using new water during the final rinse phase and operating high-efficiency lighting.
Other sustainability features of the overall project, include low VOC paints, adhesives and sealants, high-efficiency irrigation and 20KW solar panel with energy recovery.
The new fueling facility also includes four new 20,000 gallon underground storage tanks, each with double walls and a sensor system to detect leaks, which replaced two aging single-wall tanks.
The Merlo bus yard houses 130 buses, with 111 buses fueled and cleaned through the facility each day. The bus wash building was opened in 1980 and has been on the rebuild list for nearly a decade, but the project was delayed due to lack of funds.
The $10.9 million project, which also includes a new building for the agency's LIFT (paratransit service) administrative functions, was made possible by federal stimulus funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Skanska is the general contractor, overseeing 39 subcontractors that include 10 Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) firms.
More than 115 construction workers will be employed over the course of the project and about 20 jobs were retained due to this project. As of Sept. 30, 2010, 39,459.62 job hours had occurred on this project with a payroll of $1.85 million. The LIFT administrative building is expected to open in January 2011.

Linn-Benton Community College offers two ways to take college classes. Students can take credit classes that lead to a degree or certificate, or they can take non-credit classes for personal enrichment.
Taking LBCC Credit Classes For High School Credit
High school students are encouraged to learn how they can take LBCC credit classes on the college campus and begin earning a college degree while applying the credits toward their high school diplomas.
This benefits students, so they can:
- Start their college programs early
- Take classes not available at the high school
- Take courses they don't have time to take during the high school day (some LBCC classes are offered in the evening)
Students can sign up for the number of classes that best fits their needs - anywhere from taking one class to going full-time on the LBCC campus. The high school counselor must provide permission and can help students decide how many classes are appropriate. The program has strict deadlines. Check with high school counselors about sign-up timelines.
Campus High School Program form
For information and steps to sign up for Campus High School Program go to: Campus High School Program Information (pdf)
Taking Non-Credit Community Education Classes
Linn-Benton Community College offers a wide variety of classes for personal enrichment. The classes are enjoyable and students learn a lot from taking them. But, these classes do not have college credit and therefore, do not count toward a college degree. Examples of non-credit classes are Driver Education, Yoga, and Computer Applications. For a complete list of the classes offered this term go to Schedule of Classes. Under "Select Report Type:", click on "All Non-Credit Classes."
Note: The Campus High School Program form is not required for non-credit courses; however, students do need permission from the instructor.
Quick Facts:
Do I need to apply for admissions? No, but you do need to file an Underage Enrollment Form if you intend to take credit classes.
Do I have to meet certain academic standards? For most college classes, you must place into at least Reading 90 on the CPT. Your high school might have other academic requirements. Check with your counselor. Some LBCC courses have pre-requisites that must be met before enrollment is permitted. Before you take the placement test, spend time preparing. It will help your score. Scroll to the bottom of the Placement Test website for links to prep websites.
Do I need to be enrolled in high school? State law requires that students under the age of 18 be enrolled in a public or private high school or be home schooled, unless they have their diploma or GED.
Is a referral or permission required? Yes. The Underage Enrollment Form requires the signature of an administrator from a school or the education service district home school official to assure the student is released from the high school program to attend college classes.
What is the cost? Refer to class schedule for current tuition and fees or go to www.linnbenton.edu/tuitionandfees.

This one was tough. As you'd imagine, there are plenty of worthy candidates on a team that was out of the A.L. West pennant race shortly after returning from spring training. Or was it shortly before heading to spring training? Well, whatever. Palmeiro beat out John Rocker, Carl Everett and Hideki Irabu--all solid additions to the club if you ask us. Despite being just two years shy of his 40th birthday, Palmeiro put up some pretty impressive power numbers this season and managed to maintain his sanity in a clubhouse that went the way of Big Nurse's Cuckoo Ward months (if not years) ago. And if that wasn't good enough, well, the man is in a Viagra commercial. 'Nough said.

Settlement of your ASR hip implant case is possible
Most lawsuits do not go to trial. In most cases there aren't any real factual or legal issues in dispute. With a DePuy Hip Replacement Lawsuit, though, the facts are likely to be on your side. The circumstances in which your case would go to trial would be if DePuy could show you were at fault in some serious way. It's unlikely that pursuing a case against you for contributory negligence would be worthwhile for the company. As a result, your case will probably settle.
The facts alone won't influence the length of time your case takes to reach a resolution. Your choice of law firm will affect how your case proceeds. If your hip replacement lawyer is greedy, aggressive, slow, inexperienced, or disorganized, your case may take longer to reach a settlement, or you may end up in a trial that costs more than if you had accepted an earlier settlement offer.
An experienced lawyer will quickly determine if you have a valid claim, gather the facts and records regarding your case, gather legally relevant evidence (such as a deposition of your orthopedist), and will effectively use his or her knowledge of the court system and civil procedure to move your case forward.
An important aspect of shortening the length of time of your lawsuit will be the effectiveness of yours and your hip replacement lawyer's communications. Good lawyers manage client expectations and keep them updated regarding their cases. Without consistent communication, you will feel that your lawyer is sitting on your case. Anxiety on top of the responsibility of taking care of your health is not something we want you to worry about. Your hip replacement failed because the manufacturer is at fault, and you are entitled to compensation. You need a lawyer who will effectively advocate on your behalf and who will keep you updated on settlement offers.
The Rottenstein Law Group will do whatever it can to obtain a fair settlement as swiftly as possible, but we're willing to go to trial if warranted. Complete the form on the upper right to schedule a free consultation or click this link.

Nature's storm sewer. Doesn't that have a nice ring to it? No? Well, welcome to Clam Bayou, the second of what I call Gulfport's Big Three of problems. The sewers are the first and the most solvable, provided we want to spend some money, which we clearly don't. But the sanitary sewers (there's irony for you) aren't our only threat to our quality of life in everyone's favorite funky seaside town. On the edge of town, forgotten by most of you, lies another threat: Clam Bayou. Think of it as nature's stormwater treatment plant, because all the stuff that's on our roads and lawns flows into Clam Bayou with every heavy rain. Once there, the mangroves and grass filter any impurities from the water as best they can before the water flows into Boca Ciega Bay. So, sort of like a sewer treatment plant, except for stormwater. Oh, and yes, according to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), it has too much fecal coliform in it and dissolved oxygen issues. So while it may have some basis in fact, "Clam Bayou: Nature's Stormwater Treatment Plant" isn't what I would want floating (no pun intended) around out there if I were trying to brand the city.
That's a salient point because at city council's most recent workshop they debated branding Gulfport. At the next workshop, council will debate what to do – if anything – about Clam Bayou.
Why should we do anything about Clam Bayou? After all, didn't the state just restore the bayou at a cost of millions? Well, sort of. It did something and parts of Clam Bayou certainly look better, yes, but we have no idea if we should or not, because after all that money, I still can't find a water quality test that shows what disgusting things were or were not in the water before the state redesigned how water meandered through Clam Bayou. That means that no matter what we test for now – and I don't believe anyone's testing for anything, despite assurances from two state agencies that they have reports on the Bayou – we have no idea whether Clam Bayou is better or worse. A few years ago, the Tampa Bay Estuary Program tested certain parts of the bottom and found the pesticides DDT and chlordane as well as other chemicals – many related to automobiles – in the sediment. Every governing body proceeding to absolutely nothing about this. What's more, despite repeated requests over the past decade, I've yet to see a single water quality test for Clam Bayou, which I find odd, considering the Southwest Florida Water Management District deemed it worthy of a few million dollars to redesign the bayou. FDEP told me Tuesday it prepared a report and promised to send it to me, but I've yet to see it.
Of course, we know the muck – that's the technical term and it doesn't have to be a pejorative; in the 'Glades, muck's a good thing – contains toxins, yet I adamantly oppose to dredging the bottom or posting signs warning anglers about the bayou's toxicity. Why? Three reasons.
One, we have made no effort to stop the petrochemical runoff from flowing into the Bayou, so dredging out contaminants before we stop the flow makes no sense. It's like having a sewer spewing human waste all over Clymer Park but deciding to cut the grass so it doesn't look so icky. Two, we have to be careful when we talk about dredging, because charts as far back as the 16th century reflect a depth of less than a foot at the mouth of Clam Bayou. Like it or not, Clam Bayou's functioning as it should – a treatment system for all the toxins we have on our roadways, golf courses, and yards. If we make Clam Bayou deeper, the water won't stay in Clam Bayou long enough to get treated properly, and then we have a larger problem: a toxic Boca Ciega Bay. Yes, Clam Bayou may have been deeper when boats traversed it, prop dredging out the sand. But that was also when Boca Ciega Bay lost all its sea grass and the state sued Pinellas County to stop developing on the shallow body of water. When we stopped prop dredging Clam Bayou, Boca Ciega Bay started to recover. What happens to Boca Ciega Bay if we speed up the water flow through the only remaining tidal estuary on the Bay?
Actually, we don't know. And that's my third – and largest – reason for hesitating to jump in with any fixes: our ignorance. We don't know that dredging is the best solution, and we don't know that it isn't. I oppose dredging and I just as stridently oppose doing nothing. I like the idea that if we get grant money from BP, we'll use it to stop the flow of toxins into Clam Bayou, but I don't like the idea of only doing it if we get a grant. Our natural environments should be a priority all the time, not just at our fiscal convenience.
So where does that leave me? Well, on the side of logic. So far, we've heard from me. We've heard from people who think we need to dredge and post signs warning of the Bayou's toxicity. We've heard – sort of – from a state agency who remapped the bayou and then, much like a televangelist, pronounced it healed but failed to provide any test results showing how. Who haven't we heard from?
Science. We haven't heard from science. You know, an impartial observation of facts that lead to a conclusion as to what we should do to about Clam Bayou's issues. I have strong feelings about how to fix things, but somewhere along the way I neglected to get my hydrology degree, as did everyone else who has expressed vehement opinions on the subject.
But since our city council will discuss this very issue next week... what if they decided that it was time to consider not opinions but fact and directed city staff to find a hydrologist who didn't work for the state or any other interested party? What if they asked for a hydrologist to evaluate the bayou for water quality and make suggestions as to what should happen?
Ah, hello, logic. Even the people who think I have some hidden agenda (spoiler alert: I don't. The environment is my agenda, first, last, and always) can't disagree with a scientist testing the water and testing the fish for toxins. Of course, the Clam Bayou issue, over the past decade, has devolved into some sort of buffet of craziness. And you cannot bring a side of logic to a crazy buffet and expect people to eat it. Except, of course, I'd like to think that our council has the good sense to dig in.

Today's Leader Post
Latest News
Cathedral searching for missing crozier
Rachel Psutka, The Leader-PostPublished: Saturday, October 26, 2013
Regina's oldest church is missing an irreplaceable piece of its history.
The bishop's crozier, a five-and-a-half foot tall staff with ornate silver accents and semi-precious jewels, disappeared from St. Paul's Anglican Cathedral sometime in the past two or three weeks.
"The crozier isn't something that we use very often. It's for special occasions," said Mike Sinclair, dean for the Diocese of Qu'Appelle.
After discovering it missing, everyone who could have had access to the ceremonial piece was contacted. That failed to turn up the crozier and a police report was filed assuming the piece had been stolen.
Sinclair said he has contacted pawn shops in the area to ask them to keep an eye out for the distinctive piece, which he said was presented to the first bishop of the diocese in the late 1880s or early 1890s.
"It's irreplaceable," Sinclair said. "This was made by a company that was in England in the late 1880s.
They're no longer around. The materials and the craftsmanship would be something completely different to have it redone again."
Aside from replacing the crozier, which is used by the bishop when Anglicans gather in the cathedral, Sinclair said he is concerned for the person or people who may have made off with the piece, which was last appraised
as being worth more than $15,000.
"It's nearly impossible to sell," he noted. "We'd love to have it back; it's part of our family history, but at the same time we're concerned for who has stolen it, that they don't end up with more trouble than they need, when it would just be easy to return it."
Sinclair said he is hopeful that the crozier will be returned, similar to a case earlier this year where someone anonymously returned $10,000 worth of stolen artifacts from an Anglican cathedral in Victoria.
