Senator Boxer: Working for Animal Welfare
Thursday, February 15, 2007
I am cosponsoring three important bills regarding animal welfare and wanted to let you know about them and about my interest in ensuring more humane treatment for animals.
First, I am pleased to be an original cosponsor of S. 311, Senator Mary Landrieu's legislation to amend the Horse Protection Act to prohibit the shipping, transporting, moving, delivering, receiving, possessing, purchasing, selling, or donating of horses and other equines to be slaughtered for human consumption. Last year, the Senate came close to passing similar legislation to protect America's horses, and I am pleased that this bill has garnered early bipartisan support. Like last year, it will undoubtedly face opposition, but I am hopeful that we can prevail and protect America's horses.
Second, I have cosponsored S.261, the Animal Fighting Prohibition Enforcement Act of 2007, which amends the federal criminal code to prohibit most activities involving animal fighting and increases the penalties to a fine and up to three years' imprisonment for violations. This legislation by Senator Maria Cantwell has received bipartisan support and will go a long way in ending the cruel activities involving animal and bird fighting.
I am also an original cosponsor of S.394, which would help to ensure more humane treatment of nonambulatory or "downed" livestock. These are animals that, because of disease or injury, are unable to move about on their own. Senator Akaka's bill would prevent these "downed" animals from being transported to slaughterhouses for eventual human consumption and would, instead, mandate that they be euthanized in the field. In part, this legislation would help to better protect the public from contaminated meat from diseased cattle. Importantly, however, it also provides for animals to be more humanely euthanized in the field rather than transported under what are often painful conditions for eventual slaughter.
While the 110th Congress is just barely underway, the introduction of these three bills provides ample opportunity for steps to increase animal welfare and well being. You can count on me to work for the passage of all of them.
U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer

Celtics Unlikely To Buy Out Paul Pierce
The Boston Celtics almost certainly won't buy out Paul Pierce for the 13-14 season, according to sources.
The Celtics could buy out Pierce's $15 million salary for $5 million.
The Celtics have received enough interest from contending teams interested in Pierce where he is viewed as an asset.

Why study abroad? Ask Michelle Obama
Thanksgiving dinner in Russia
Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays, so I decided to have my own right there in the dormitory. I went to Ashan, a "Russian Walmart" for cranberries, corn, carrots, potatoes, chives, turkey filet and any other items that could make this dinner resemble the Thanksgiving meals I'm used to back home. As I invited friends and neighbors for dinner and dessert, I realized it was shaping up to be a familiar Thanksgiving.
After class, my neighbors offered to help prepare dinner. I was grateful that they did because there was so much to do! I assigned them some tasks to help with the cooking, such as peeling potatoes and carrots, while I prepared the bird.
We managed to have everything ready by 7 pm. More of my friends and neighbors, from across the hall and throughout the building, came shuffling into the narrow room I shared with two other students. As the girls came in they each placed a token of their appreciation, boxes of chocolate, cookies and a bottle of wine, on the table with the appetizers.
Before we dug into our main dish, we wanted to share a toast. In a rush to open the wine, we ran into a little problem, instead of the cork coming out, it went further into the neck of the bottle. We were disappointed thinking we would have nothing to toast with, but then two of my Russian friends stood up and took over…
Placing the bottle on the floor, they asked for a pen and something hard and flat. The only thing I had handy was a book about Stalin. Working together, one girl held the wine bottle and the pen on top of the cork while the other hit the pen with the book and VOILA! The cork was set free!
Once everyone had some wine in their plastic cups, we began to toast. We toasted to international friendship,"за международную дружбу," our futures, "за будущем," and love, "за любовь."
After the toast, I suggested we all say what we are thankful for as it is a tradition in my family. Most of us said we were thankful for meeting each other and one jokingly said she was thankful for Stalin, for, without him, the toast would not have been possible!
For the rest of the night we shared, with each other, aspects of our respective cultures, and even taught each other lullabies in our own languages. For the previous three months I had been immersed in Russian culture and it was great to share an American tradition with friends and neighbors of other countries.
I was concerned about missing family and friends on Thanksgiving, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that I felt right at home surrounded by people of different nations.
This is just one of the many great benefits of studying abroad- cross-cultural understanding. You have the opportunity to understand another culture by sharing and observing traditions and norms, and they have the opportunity to understand a little about yours. I am thankful for receiving the Boren Scholarship, which has made it possible for me to further my interests in Russian language and culture.
I would encourage all who are interested in another culture to apply for the Boren Scholarship or one of the other many scholarships available for study abroad. It is an experience you do not want to miss!

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to develop a web service client within a bug application which would communicate to a web service via an internet connection. Now, I've been able to establish the actual connection to the internet. However, as I am not very familiar with Eclipse, I was wondering if:
1. Web service clients can be integrated within a BUG app
2. There are any tutorials that uses the BUG to communicate to a web service
3. If all else fails, any code which might relate to using web services with a BUG
285 posts
There are many example apps that do this. I prefer using Apache's httpclient (which I believe is what is used for motherbugtweetNtwitch).
There are also others:

Hey jconnolly,
Thanks for answering so many of my questions (and you can bet there are loads to come, so don't go anywhere ;)).
I did some searches around BUG apps as well as on the BUG Community and it seems that most of the Web Services are written as a RESTful-WS. However, I am concerned about dealing with SOAP-WS. What I ultimately would like to do is to create a SOAP client from a WSDL and call the WS henceforth, within a BUG app of course.
I'd appreciate any insight.
38 posts
Hi Diran,
I too want to cosume a SOAP web service from the bug sdk. So far I used which is part of the JDK 1.5 + in the bin directory, you'll find a util called wsimport.exe.
I use Windows Vista, so from my command prompt I execute wsimport with all the param required (see http://www.codeproject.com/KB/java/edujini_webservice_java.aspx for info) to generate the java client proxy.
I personally incorporated these java classes into my bug app, but I'm facing some issues like this one:
Exception in thread "2f1076bf-9515-4a5f-ab77-8bc5b35e6b6b" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: ServerServiceProxy/Service1
Any clues anyone? John?
Thanks in advance for that.

I think openjdk does not have the following lib:
Any suggestions?
285 posts
It does indeed:
root@jconnolly-bug20:~# zipinfo /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/rt.jar | grep javax | grep xml
You'll need to add javax.xml.ws to your Import-Package list in your manifest.
38 posts
Fixed few missing packages, but the following I don't know:
Package 'com.sun.xml.internal.ws.api.message' is not imported by bundle soapClientTest2 [26], nor is there any bundle that exports package 'com.sun.xml.internal.ws.api.message'. However, the class 'com.sun.xml.internal.ws.api.message.Header' is available from the system class loader. There are two fixes: 1) Add package 'com.sun.xml.internal.ws.api.message' to the 'org.osgi.framework.system.packages.extra' property and modify bundle soapClientTest2 [26] to import this package; this causes the system bundle to export class path packages. 2) Add package 'com.sun.xml.internal.ws.api.message' to the 'org.osgi.framework.bootdelegation' property; a library or VM bug can cause classes to be loaded by the wrong class loader. The first approach is preferable for preserving modularity.

Thanks to jconnolly for the fix:
echo "org.osgi.framework.bootdelegation=com.sun.xml.internal.ws.api.message" >> /usr/share/java/conf/config.properties

Isn't it funny how we www.coachfactorystoreec.com/ Coach Factory Store always want what we can't have? The girl with the round and pert backside wishes that her rear were 5 times smaller. Meanwhile, the girl with the non existent posterior wishes to achieve a larger butt. Well, if the grass is greener on the other side, just water yours! If you've got a small behind, you can create the illusion of a larger one with butt enhancing jeans. Here's how to do it. Look for light weight denim – This material is very stiff and heavy. If you try to stuff a flat butt into denim jeans, it will only create a flatter looking behind. A little stretch goes a long way – Your butt enhancing jeans should additionally contain some stretch. A mixture of 98 percent cotton and 2 percent lycra is best. This combination of lycra and cotton, especially when it's in a nice tight-weave fabric that's fitted through the hip and thigh area will help lift your buttocks. Too much lycra and your jeans may start to ripple like a pair of leggings. If there's not enough cotton content, there won't be enough structure to hold you up. It's all in the pockets – The most effective trick for creating the illusion of a bigger butt is to choose jeans with flap pockets. The added bulk of the flap will enhance and add dimension to your tiny tush. True Religion is notoriously famous for their flap pocket designs. You can also try Hudson, Rock & Republic, Frankie B and Paige for addition flap pocket styles. Pocket placement – If you're not a fan of flap pockets, or if you've already bought too many of them, you can also try denim with regular pockets. Be sure to aim for a pair with smaller pockets that sit higher and this will help make your rear look lifted. Cut is also important – Look for jeans with a slight tapering at www.coachfactoryonliness.com/ Coach Factory Online the knee, such as a straight leg or skinny style. This cut will make your bum look a bit larger in comparison to the rest of your body. Great styles to try are True Religion Billy, Julie or Stella, Siwy Harmah or Rose, and Hudson Emily or Paige. How low can you go – Actually, you don't want to go too low when it comes to the jean rise. The goal is to project more, not less. A pair of low rise denim will only reduce the size of your rear. Instead, opt for a pair with a medium rise. Color me right – Since dark colors minimize, dark denim and indigo will create a slimming effect. You do not want this kind of effect on your barely there behind! Try to find light colored or medium blue denim. Grey is very flattering and will also work. Like a great bra, butt enhancing jeans can also lift and www.coachfactoryoutletusa.com/ Coach Factory Outlet separate what little you have. So it wasn't in your genes to have a nice, round bottom. Big deal. Be happy with what you've got and just improvise!

Teacher turns star lingerie model
A Birmingham teacher has turned her pupils' heads - by winning a contest to be a lingerie firm's star model.
Psychology teacher Laura Butler, 26, was picked by Curvy Kate to be the firm's new model for its plus-size lingerie.
She is now juggling her modelling work with finishing her studies for a teaching degree at university, reports The Mirror.
Ms Butler, who already teaches psychology to International Baccalaureate and A-Level students, says her family, friends and even pupils are right behind her.
"The satisfaction of modelling is different to the satisfaction I get from teaching as it's something I do for me," she said.
"Teaching is something I do because I am good at it and love helping the students.
"Modelling makes your confidence soar and gives you something to talk about when you are older."

Fifth Annual Polar Bear Plunge is Success
February 18, 2011
Press Release #11-043
A group of 68 enthusiastic St. Mary's College of Maryland students and faculty leaped into the cold St. Mary's River yesterday to raise awareness of climate change in the fifth annual Polar Bear Plunge. Water temperature was in the 30s.
Onlookers cheered as the participants triumphantly jumped up and down in the water in celebration. "The air temperature was incredibly warm, but the water was as cold as ever; it just made it easier to warm up afterwards," said Danny Ruthenberg-Marshall '11, an organizer of the event.
The Polar Bear Plunge was started by the Student Environmental Action Coalition (SEAC) to raise awareness of global warming.
Air temperatures in the mid 60s might have drawn more daredevils, but some would have come anyway. "I was planning on doing it anyway; it's for a good cause," said Tina Giordano '12. "The warm weather definitely made it easier though, but it was still really cold."St. Mary's College of Maryland, designated the Maryland state honors college in 1992, is ranked one of the best public liberal arts schools in the nation by U.S. News & World Report. More than 2,000 students attend the college, nestled on the St. Mary's River in Southern

It is a statue of his, seated reading at the entrance, just the way one would do it in our homes in Africa, placing the table close to the entrance for more light... hard to call it a statue... he looks like he is just about to speak to one. I should have taken a photo of the lovely notebook I got there.

Inspired by the tribute he paid to Inkosi Albert Luthuli, I turned to read about him, again. And now after several months of absence from this platform I come here and who do we find here? Little is said today about great heroes and heroines of freedom like Inkosi Albert Luthuli and Robert Sobukwe.

Undercarriage Car WashBillions of pounds of debris
As much as we don't like to acknowledge it, a little bit of our car, truck, minivan, or station wagon wears out every time we take it for a ride. Tires leave a small amount of themselves behind. Brakes pads dust themselves all over wheels, calipers and suspensions. Clutch discs deposit miniscule fragments of disc as they grab the flywheel. Coolant overflow tanks drop a few drops here and there. Multiply these factors by the unfathomable number of people turning the key and going to and fro everyday and it all adds up to literally billions of pounds of debris deposited on the roadways of America every year.
Seasonal sources also add to the soup. Wintertime brings a load of steel munching salt and "construction season" brings mud, tar, and other road grit along with otherwise breezy summer traveling. Unfortunately, a significant amount of this roadway refuse ends up making a home on the undercarriage of your vehicle. While we all know the benefits of keeping the topside clean, it's also important to periodically clean the underside as well.
Crud. Dust. Grime. Junk.
A good rinse will not only help your vehicle last longer, but it can also help it to run better. Road salt can cause major corrosion in the long run and the best way to get on top of the inevitable rust is to stop it before it starts. Rinsing the underside of the body and fenders helps to remove the salt from the cracks and crevices where it lies in wait to start eating steel from the inside out. Getting rid of caked on road gunk will also help the engine and transmission run cooler. Besides escaping through the radiator, a good amount of engine heat wicks into the air through the oil pan and block. The transmission also gets rid of heat through the fluid pan and case. This operating heat can't escape as efficiently as it should if everything is encapsulated in crud. Keeping the underside of the vehicle clean can also help keep rubber boots and seals pliable and preserved by removing material that can cause them to dry out and crack. Any fluid leaks and potential undercarriage problems are much easier to spot and diagnose if things are spic-and-span on the south side of the vehicle.
Mr. & Mrs. Clean
Hosing down the undercarriage is best done before you wash off the top. While many commercial car washes offer this service as an added feature to the regular wash, keep in mind that some also recycle this water, which is a concern when it comes to road salt. If your vehicle is truly caked with crud down under, then a commercial steam cleaning should be considered as all that gunk may need to be professionally removed and disposed of. For the rest of us, using the hose on the bottom before going to wash the top is an easy way to stay on top of undercarriage ugliness.
Start with hosing under the engine and transmission and then work your way out to the fenders and wheels. Pay particular attention to cracks and crevices where corrosive salt or debris can collect. Brushing unusually heavy deposits can help loosen them up. For even greater undercarriage access, a set of drive-on ramps or jack and jack stands can give you a better shot with the hose. Always be safe, and keep it clean.

Man leads police in chase through Carlsbad, Encinitas
CARLSBAD, Calif. - One man was arrested Wednesday after leading police in a high-speed chase through Carlsbad and Encinitas.
The incident began before 2 a.m. Police said they received a call about a man who may have been intoxicated and armed.
When police responded, the suspect sped off on Coast Highway, hitting speeds up to 100 mph.
The suspect's vehicle eventually broke down after he drove it into railroad tracks near Encinitas Boulevard. He was later arrested. No one was hurt during the chase.
A source told police that officers found a fully-loaded shotgun in the suspect's vehicle.

Starlin Castro says he has found his groove, says he feels stronger and says his mind is clear. And one more thing: ''Last year is over.''
Castro is on a tear that features seven hits in his last 12 at-bats, including the first multihomer game of his career in the Cubs' 7-6 loss Tuesday to the Pirates.
''He's just starting to get into a rhythm,'' said manager Rick Renteria, who has seen Castro drive in five runs since putting him in the No. 6 spot in the batting order Sunday.
That included four Tuesday — on a three-run homer in the third inning and a solo shot in the sixth.
''I've tried to get my feeling again at home plate, and that's what I've [got] right now,'' Castro said. ''I've got my feeling back. I just try to hit the ball on the barrel every time. I don't want to try to hit homers. I know they can come.''
Renteria, who saw the sixth spot in the lineup as a means to help Castro hit more with men on base and see a different perspective, said he might continue to move him around. Castro probably will be back up to second in the order Wednesday against left-hander Wandy Rodriguez.
''He's seeing a lot of good at-bats from teammates and making a really conscientious effort of bearing down,'' Renteria said. ''He's seeing the field, and it looks like he's gaining some confidence.''
Eject button
Renteria became the first manager in the majors to be ejected this season when he went after plate umpire Jeff Nelson over balls and strikes with struggling closer Jose Veras on the mound in the ninth.
''I don't know if that's good, but OK,'' he said.
''He's a fiery guy,'' said Cubs starter Edwin Jackson, who allowed four runs in the first and couldn't get through five innings. ''He's going to stand up for his team.''
The Pirates drew three walks from two Cubs relievers in the eighth, leading to the winning run.
Handle with care
President Theo Epstein said the Cubs are taking a more cautious approach with prospect Jorge Soler after he aggravated a tight hamstring in the Class AA opener last week.
''We want him to get on the field as much as anybody,'' Epstein said. ''He needs the at-bats. But you can't force it.''
Soler missed much of last season with a stress fracture in his left leg.

Microsoft has boosted Xbox Live's security and is asking all users to change their passwords as a result, according to a post on Xbox.com.
"I encourage everyone to take five minutes today to check your security information and update it if necessary, Xbox Live general manager Alex Gardenhe said. "If you have any lost or stolen security proofs, update them now to prevent any interruptions to your Xbox Live service in the future. We only use this information for your security, and never for marketing or advertising."
He added: "The Internet has transformed the way we purchase goods and services and added layers of convenience to our lives. Yet, disappointingly, online fraud increasingly victimizes millions of unsuspecting consumers each year.
That is why our resolve at Microsoft to battle fraud and our commitment to account security is stronger than ever. I hope you'll take a few moments to protect your account today."
Here's a list of changes made to Xbox Live's security measures:
– We've increased notifications to members whose accounts may be compromised to add proofs, update their passwords, and, if necessary, contact Xbox support. This helps our team lock down an account quickly, investigate and restore the account to the rightful owner.
– We've taken legal action to pull down online posts of gamertags, usernames and passwords gathered from malware or phishing schemes to help protect our members.
– Our Xbox Live Spring update included many behind the scenes improvements that help us build on security enhancements for the near future.
– We're sending unique codes to the security phone numbers and secondary email addresses provided by members to verify authorization for Xbox.com purchases or account change attempts not stemming from a member's trusted device.
– We're working to reduce market incentives for criminal activity. Engaging in identity theft, trading in stolen accounts and committing credit card fraud are illegal and violate our Terms of Use.Those involved in these activities risk criminal prosecution, account and console bans. That goes for both sellers and buyers of known stolen accounts and content.

North Little Rock's John Rogers: The Man Behind the $1.62 Million Baseball Card
Posted 2/2/2009 12:00 am
Even as a child, John Rogers was wheeling and dealing baseball cards.
And before he was a teenager, Rogers had paid taxes on the baseball cards he sold.
But there was one card that he obsessed about owning: a 1909, T206 Honus Wagner, considered by collectors to be the Holy Grail of baseball cards because only a handful exist in decent shape.
Last summer, Rogers' childhood dream came true. On Aug. 1 he faced-off against another bidder and won an auction to buy the card for $1.62 million.
The next morning, though, the 35-year-old North Little Rock businessman had a severe case of buyer's remorse because he busted his budget of $1.2 million.
"But after a couple of hours I was glad I did," he said.
Rogers had been preparing for that moment his whole life.
"He was just obsessed with collecting cards," said Rogers' mother, Mary John Rogers. "He was relentless in his search for certain cards."
And the card he wanted the most was a 1909 Honus Wagner.
Young Entrepreneur
Instead of blowing his spare change on candy as a 6-year-old, Rogers would purchase packs of baseball cards so he could be like his older cousin.
"I bought my fist pack because he did, too," he said.
And he was hooked.
"From the age of 6 on, every nickel I had went to baseball cards," Rogers said.
In his free time, Rogers devoured baseball books and studied games on television.
By the age of 11, Rogers started placing classified ads in the local papers searching for others to trade, buy or sell baseball cards. Instead of pooh-poohing the hobby, Rogers' parents encourage it and drove him to trade shows.
At the age of 11, Rogers sold cards at the Billy Mitchell Boys Club in Little Rock and generated $300 in sales in one day. "And I thought I was rich," Rogers said.
By the time he 13, Rogers was shelling out $250 for a booth at a card show in Arlington, Texas.
And all the time, Rogers absorbed everything he could about baseball cards. He'd sit and chat for hours with the owner at his neighborhood card shop.
The owner gave him this advice: You can either be a collector or a dealer, you can't be both.
Rogers didn't plan on becoming a full-time card dealer, though. He had dreams of playing football on Sundays.
Standing 6-foot-6, Rogers entered Louisiana Tech University on a football scholarship to play offensive tackle in the early 1990s. But his goal soon faded.
"I realized pretty quickly that I was a small fish in a big sea in terms of football ability," he said.
Rogers said his other dream was to run his own business and began preparing himself.
In his senior year, he sold cards and memorabilia at trade shows in the area and earned $60,000.
After graduating with a degree in marketing and business management, Rogers didn't land a single job offer. So he hit the road selling baseball memorabilia.
"I decided I will do this for the first year or two and then I'll find a real job," he said.
His strategy included befriending relatives of former players and then buying that player's estate, which could feature World Series rings, jerseys and other rare items. Rogers would then turn around and sell off pieces of the estate for a profit.
Rogers made his first $1 million by the time he was 27.
In 1998, Rogers began using the new Internet auction site, eBay, as a way to generate more sales.
Instead of solely selling baseball memorabilia, Rogers has branched out and markets other rare items such as Elvis Presley's jukebox, which went for $350,000 in 2007. And he also sells historic political documents.
But Rogers' main business now is collecting the copyrights of photographs and film clips. So far, he owns 2.2 million images, and Getty Images Inc. of New York manages his collection. He receives a royalty check when the shots are used by media companies, such as ESPN or HBO.
In 2008, Rogers' revenue is expected to be $6 million, with most of the money coming from those images.
The Auction
In the summer of 2008, Rogers learned that a Wagner card was going to be sold at an action in Chicago.
"I was like a manic, hyperactive kid," he said. "I was figuring out [and] plotting a strategy on how I was going to buy it."
On the evening of the auction, Rogers as phoned in his bid, the price kept climbing and passed the $1.2 million mark.
"I said, 'To hell with it, I'm going to buy it,'" Rogers said.
Soon it reached $1.25 million. Then $1.275 million. Later it was up to $1.3 million.
But every time Rogers was outbid, his wife, Angelica, encouraged him to keep going. And he did.
Now that Rogers has had the card for several months, he said he's still weighing offers about what to do with it. He receives inquires from representatives of potential buyers practically every day.
"As much as it was a dream come true," Rogers said, "again, it goes back to the thing that I'm doing this for: a living."

Eleanor is a graphic novel about a dreams, undreams, the apocalypse, and a girl named Eleanor. Or something like that. The story started eleven years ago, on a road trip in the northwest. I wrote out loud while driving, until I couldn't hold all of the words in my head, so I stopped and scribbled them in a notebook. Once home, I began writing her story for real. The manuscript grew and grew and changed and crashed and was rebooted a half-dozen times over the next decade, until one day I doodled an island, and the sea, and then drew a box around it. And that was it — Eleanor was suddenly a comic book, and I had my first panel. So I thought to myself: I'll draw a page, maybe three, and see what happens.
I update the site every Monday with a new page. But there's so much more than just what you see on this site. I'm posting sneak peeks and previews and behind-the-scenes content all the time on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and elsewhere, and you can also read Eleanor on your smartphone and tablet via Graphicly.
About me
I'd tell you I've never attempted a graphic novel before, but that would only be sort of true. The first story I ever wrote was a graphic novel. I'm pretty sure it was about the Hardy Boys, their Aunt Gertrude, a basement, and a stubborn ghost.
Truth is, though, I've never attempted a graphic novel, and you've probably already come to that conclusion. I'm basically learning how to make a graphic novel by making a graphic novel, and I'm happy to say I seem to be figuring it out. Though that doesn't make it any easier for me to draw people. Which I suppose you could say is a weakness, since my story is all about people.
I live in Oregon, and I'm a creative director at Ziba. And in my spare time, I write Eleanor and other things, like The Man Who Ended the World. More importantly, I'm married to Felicia, the world's cutest ninja knitter, and we're the new parents of Emma, a tiny owlet. We also share our home with a small zoo of animals, including a Boston terrier named Dr. Meatloaf and a chinchilla named Mochi.
I have another web site where you can keep up with all of my work, including Eleanor.
Very, very, very occasionally, someone interviews me or writes about Eleanor. Here are those few times!
- Neatorific: Creator's Corner: Jason Gurley
- Comic Bloc: Showing Off Eleanor
- Broken Frontier: Eleanor is Digitally Falling
- Digital Comic News: Interviewing Jason Gurley

It was impossible for me to keep shooting photos for French Truckers without stopping by Lyon. One part of my friends and family would have ended up holding it against me, I mean for forgetting their beloved city. Passing through Rhône and Saône, two weeks ago, I enjoyed a sunny weather to walk calmly along the riverside. Yes, even if we were in the middle of February temperatures were unusually warm for the season. Enough to leave the winter's dark colors on my closet and try some more colored, more adapted to spring clothes like a vemillion Commune de Paris sweater or some off-white APC jeans. A brief stop by the Gonzo Bar and time had already come to prepare for another partying night in Lyon: going from a flyboat to another one and waiting for the sun, hidden behind la colline de Fourvière foothils, to set La ville des lumières' sky abrazed again.

5 Highest-Rated China Stocks
BOSTON ( TheStreet) -- Many investors stay away from Chinese stocks, preferring funds instead, as scandals dog smaller companies from the world's second-largest economy.
Many investors have asked me for recommendations of highly rated Chinese companies. So I ran a screen of companies based in China with American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) trading on U.S. exchanges. Here are the results for TheStreet Ratings' five top-ranked Chinese stocks based on a quantitative equity model.
NetEase.com (NTES), an online gaming company, leads the pack with a 7.3 overall rating, a "buy" recommendation and a $56.60 target. The stock has achieved our highest reward grade of A+, which measures growth in revenue, earnings and cash flow, along with stock performance/momentum and overall efficiency (or return on equity and capital).
NetEase's stock scores below average in regard to risk (C+), which has kept the overall stock grade at A-. While the solvency of the company looks great (NetEase has nearly $11/share in cash), the volatility of the stock has held back the risk score.NetEase also has a solid valuation score, which measures ratios such as price-to-earnings and price-to-book. At a trailing P/E of 19 and a forward P/E of 13, the stock looks attractive, considering the company has been growing revenue at a 30% annualized rate for the past three years. With analysts expecting an average of 15% earnings growth over the next year, the stock looks fairly inexpensive with a PEG (a measure of earnings growth) ratio of just 0.87. Simcere Pharmaceutical (SCR), a generic pharmaceutical manufacturer, is the second-ranked Chinese stock, with a 5.9 overall rating, a "buy" recommendation and a $16.76 target. The stock has a reward grade of A-, and a risk grade of C, leading to an overall stock grade of B. Simcere's highest scores are on performance (this stock has surged by 49% over the past year) and efficiency -- the company has generated more income per dollar of capital than 70% of companies we review. 51JOB Inc. (JOBS), which runs an online-job portal, has benefited from a booming economy. The company reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter. With respect to growth, the company scores better than 70% of the stocks we rate.

Friday, Georgia Southern released its 2009 football schedule, which is highlighted by five home games and a road matchup with the Atlantic Coast Conference's North Carolina Tar Heels on Saturday, Oct. 10 in Chapel Hill, N.C.
Trailing 18-16 with less than 20 seconds left in the game, William James Middle School had one last chance at the Coastal Empire Region Championship.
BROOKLET - The Southeast Bulloch Yellow Jackets (1-0) sent a message to the rest of Region 3-AA on Friday night in Eastman against the Dodge County Indians. With a 25-20 win on the road against DCHS - one of eight teams in the region that was in the playoffs a year ago - the Jackets let everyone know that on this schedule, there's no such thing as a 'week off.'
ATHENS – So, you thought Georgia Southern had a chance for the upset. Realistically, the Eagles weren't supposed to have a prayer against the No. 1 Bulldogs and in reality, when the two teams took the field, they didn't.
David Emanuel Academy (0-1) kept things interesting for a half, but a young and inexperienced Bulloch Academy (1-0) squad grew up in a hurry, bouncing back in the second and knocking off the Eagles 40-12 in the season opener at Gator Alley Thursday.
Year one at Southeast Bulloch under head coach John Kenny had its growing pains.
He's got an accurate touch on the football, he's quick, he's shifty, he's just a sophomore, and he's the starting quarterback for the Southeast Bulloch Yellow Jackets.
The last two seasons in Metter have been all about building a foundation from the bottom up. In 2006, coach Clay Hill inherited a Tiger squad without much experience, and he has focused on developing the middle school kids and keeping the numbers up. Metter has consistently fielded over 50 kids in each of the last two seasons, and with a strong foundation both offensively and defensively, the coaching staff feels the team is ready to compete again.
The Screven County Gamecocks are getting used to being back in the playoffs.
PORTAL - It's no surprise that the Portal Panthers will be offering a new look in 2008.
PORTAL - Coming off a 1-9 season, the Portal Panthers had a reality check - it's time to turn things around.
BROOKLET - A five yard scamper by Portal's Steven Cox was the difference in a wet and windy defensive battle Thursday night as the Panthers defeated the Southeast Bulloch Yellow Jackets 7-0 in a scrimmage the week before the 2008 opening kickoff.
PORTAL - The second game of Wednesday's doubleheader was one out from becoming official, but Emanuel County Institute's Nikki Ellison belted a two-out single into left field as the rain opened up, and the game was called with the Portal Lady Panthers (2-0) holding a 3-1 advantage.
BROOKLET - Some heads-up base running allowed Ansley Rushing to cross the plate with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning, giving the Southeast Bulloch Lady Yellow Jackets (5-2) a 3-2 win over the Brantley County Lady Herons (4-1-1) Tuesday at SEB's home opener.
PORTAL - After struggling through the 2006 season, the Portal Lady Panthers turned things around in 2007, putting together a 7-5 record in Region 3-A under first-year coach Shannon Davis.
There's only 10 FBS conferences, and Georgia Southern is the champion of one of them. Only the Eagles, Florida State and Ohio State went through their conference schedules unbeaten, and that's saying something.

text: 23 December 2013 Affirming our All-American Conservation Values through the Endangered Species Act Posted by: Jamie Rappaport Clark | 39 comments | Share: Conservation of our precious natural resources used to be a defining American value. Across the political spectrum throughout the late 1960's and '70's, there was near universal agreement that we must conserve our air, land, water and wildlife for future generations. Indeed, many of our nation's conservation laws were passed with the enthusiastic support of wide bipartisan majorities. This was especially true of the Endangered Species Act (ESA), signed into law 40 years ago this December 28th by Republican President Richard M. Nixon. The ESA is the ultimate representation of America's commitment to responsible stewardship. It underscores a fundamental recognition of our duty to conserve native wildlife for posterity. And that's also why I've devoted most of my professional life to upholding, defending and strengthening it. But my own reverence for wildlife and the special places throughout the country protected by the ESA isn't the result of any professional position or title I've held. I grew up in a military family; I am the daughter of a U.S. Army officer and I lived on or near numerous military bases throughout my childhood. With such constant change, it was hard to maintain lasting friendships, and it was frustrating to constantly be making a whole new set of friends that I knew would be lost with the next move. But the thing that stayed consistent were the animals that I encountered — rabbits, foxes and deer in the fields, backyard birds and frogs in the local creek and fireflies each summer. Very early in my life, I found comfort and a connection to wildlife. I feel fortunate that I have been able to evolve my passion into a life-long mission and a career where I believed I could make a difference for this country's imperiled wildlife. The ESA is one of our most enduring and successful environmental measures. Examples of the ESA's success in protecting species and their habitats are extensive: Bald eagles, peregrine falcons, gray wolves, Florida manatees, American alligators, grizzly bears, and black-footed ferrets have all been rescued from the brink of extinction. Obviously, this kind of success takes decades to achieve, but the results of continued protection are undeniable. Sadly, since I started working with the ESA in the late 1970's, I've seen a dramatic shift in the way our political leaders talk about conservation. It seems we have lost sight of the fundamental American values that united us across party lines 40 years ago. At that time, our leaders talked about the ESA and evoked the wonder, awe and reverence we shared as a nation for our amazing natural heritage. Today, way too many lawmakers seem quickly willing to undermine the ESA, which they falsely claim is burdensome and an intrusive federal overreach. In the last Congress, Defenders of Wildlife chronicled a record number of attacks on the ESA, and we've seen devastating new ones emerge in this current session. After 40 important years of protecting America's wildlife for future generations, we find ourselves at a familiar crossroads, similar to where our leaders stood when they originally passed the ESA. We must ask ourselves again the same questions that were debated back then: what kind of nation do we want to be? Do we want to be a country that protects its wildlife and natural heritage? Will we sit back and passively watch as the worsening effects of climate change and increasing energy development across the landscape affect our wildlife in dramatic ways? Or, will we reaffirm our core American conservation ethic and once again rally behind the values that our leaders embraced forty years ago? The choice is ours. The decision will be felt for generations to come. Let's hope our nation once again makes the right choice. The right choice is to uphold the conservation values and sense of responsibility to future generations that shaped the ESA 40 years ago. Future generations deserve nothing less. Jamie Rappaport Clark is Defenders' President and CEO Originally published in The Huffington Post 39 Responses to "Affirming our All-American Conservation Values through the Endangered Species Act" Robert Plummer December 23rd, 2013 Keep our planet and all living things protected. Future generations deserve and need this! Reply carolyn rockafellow December 26th, 2013 CONSERVATIVE!!! values. Conserving this nation in all it's greatness includes conserving it's wild places, it's wild species, it's beautiful creatures great and small: eagles, bears, wolves, otters, big cats, beavers, foxes, hares, horses, owls, many birds and fishes. If we lose this war, no other freedom is going to mean as much. We have the freedom to preserve and conserve and be a great nation and show the rest of world how it's done! Reply Waldo Montgomery December 26th, 2013 Great article! I wrote a letter to the editor of the Dallas Morning News on this subject. It was published Dec 23rd. "Saving the Endangered Species Act is essential to our national soul." Reply Terry Shrum December 26th, 2013 It's a given that this important law must be preserved. Even in today's divisive polical climate, I can't believe any decent person would choose to revoke the ESA. if they do, I suspect there is a personal agenda – as pressure from lobbyists, or others with the plan of monetary gain. I have come to believe that nearly all legislators today do what they think will get them re-elected or line their pockets, rather than what is right. They could care less how many animals they kill. Reply Jane Clugston December 26th, 2013 I believe the further we distance ourselves from the rest of the natural world the emptier our souls become. These laws are essential to protect us all from the heartless. Reply Sharon Yaley December 26th, 2013 What could be as important as saving these endangered species, as it all goes together in saving our planet earth. Reply Marilyn Williams December 26th, 2013 Keep our wildlife protected!!!! Reply Donna Davidge December 27th, 2013 Oppose industrial wind turbines that destroy habitat and put our sky animals like eagles and bars at huge risk- Reply Donna Davidge December 27th, 2013 Eagles and bats at risk- sorry for the typo Reply Linda Rubino December 30th, 2013 Save the endangered animals… We save our Ecco system…. Hence we are saving ourselves…. Reply Lou Ann Britton January 12th, 2014 I grew up with the ESA being "preached" all the time; at school, on television, news articles. It is incomprehensible to me that we as a nation would cast it aside. Like everything else our political "Leaders" do these days…it's do as I say not as I do. They don't respect the views of the people who elect them to office, why would they respect our values as a nation. We cannot wait on our leaders, we must become actively involved or I fear that our children's children will only know of the ESA thru history books. Reply Karen Redd January 12th, 2014 For those with a heart this will break it very very bad but maybe we can help get something done for the beautiful creatures that the Wildlife Services is slaughtering. It used to be animal control- the government is behind it, what a surprise. They are killing millions of animals including endangered ones and dogs, cows, even eagles. My god what I'd love to do to these heartless — os.care2.com/care2 And click on, great I forgot, it's about what two senators are trying to stop GOD BLESS THEM FOR HAVING A HEART. Reply RON January 12th, 2014 without these animals to kill the weak we will have a lot of SICK ANIMALS THAT COULD DESTROY OUR OWN ANIMALS BECAUSE OF NOT HAVING THESE ANIMALS SO PLEASE DON'T KILL THEM FOR $$$$$$$$$$$$. THANK YOU Reply Debbie Crosse January 12th, 2014 I am completely & utterly DISGUSTED @ US-govern'ts decisions to eradicate, particularly WOLVES & MANY other wildlife. Farmers, money, politics & of course-MONEY. Everyone, keeping each other's jobs. You should ALL be ASHAMED of yourself, while we have to sit silently by & watch, these HORRIFIC slaughter & TORTURE. I would NEVER travel to US, EVER again & every time, I hear a word, about States…I am now ashamed. I cannot look at a pic. of a wolf, knowing, what is going on. Bunch of bloody REDNECKS-that's all you are. Reply Debbie Crosse January 12th, 2014 It is BAD enough-you do NOTHING about global warming as a supposed leader, in the world. But torture & slaughter…..DAMN you!!!!!!!!!!you are NO LEADER. You are at the bottom of the pile. Reply Lesley Blissett January 12th, 2014 Carolyn Rockafellow and Terry Shrum have summed up my views perfectly, but I still wish to give extra views regarding conservation as it appears that many organisations/States are flouting the Endangered Species Act, for example, the Wolf has become "a game target" in many states even though it is not yet at a fully recovered level! America MUST LIMIT IT'S HUNTERS AND TRAPPERS if it wishes to be known for protecting endangered species, until then the name of the USA will continue to stink as far as protection of endangered species is concerned! Reply Sandy Meland January 12th, 2014 I for one will be voting against any "lawmaker" that supports this un-American behavior. I will get the facts, and avoid heresay. Lawmakers forget they work for the people of this country. Make your vote a wise one!m Reply laura ackerly January 12th, 2014 save the animals we need them and they need us. Reply Carrie Nutter January 12th, 2014 Please help the animals! Let's show that we are progressive for helping wildlife and the environment. Reply nan hoover January 12th, 2014 our wild life and national parks system is our legacy from our parents and we owe this same legacy to our children and grandchildren… we owe both groups this because our parents passed it into our care… Reply MiLissa G. Wiley January 12th, 2014 The simple act of respecting what God gave us so freely needs to be seen and changed. So many is politically motivated gains that the real issues of saving the beautiful creatures is blurred, We need every animal for us to exist. Reply sharon johnson January 12th, 2014 Our planet is in deep peril already…. This is wrong and YOU know it! Reply kenneth davies January 12th, 2014 good article we must protect the diversity of wild life if we are to survive ourselves. Kill one species and its prey will multiply or that which hunts it will decline and ultimately we re poorer and become susceptible to problems that nature had previously controlled Reply Maggie Frazier January 12th, 2014 As someone who has been around for almost 76 years – I have to say I am so disappointed in the self-serving politicians that appear to be so focused on power and greed that nothing else matters. The ESA is more important now than ever. It seems there is this urgency to eradicate more and more of our natural resources. I am most focused on the wild horses & burros, but its shameful what's being done to the wolves, mountain lions, bears – any predator or prey species that "interferes" with human's wants or desires. Does the younger generation realize that if this continues there will be NO wild anymore? In Europe they are developing "re-wilding" areas & in one such instance have released wild horses into an area. I apologize for sounding so pessimistic. Defenders is one of many attempting to stop the eradication of these animals. For that, I thank you. Reply Lisa Rowsell January 12th, 2014 Why are we not all flooding the White House and congress with letters on this topic? Did I miss something? We have to preserve our wild places and wondrous other living things. Isn't this part of what set Americans apart from the rest of the world and spurred other countries to follow suit? There are millions of acres-habitat set aside around the world because of our efforts in the early 1900's. It's time to get back to our American roots….. Reply Anne Hutchinson January 12th, 2014 Protection of wildlife is paramount. Reply Jane Morrow January 12th, 2014 A world without wildlife and wild places is one I wouldn't want to live in. The issues you are facing are worldwide ones, even in so called "clean green" New Zealand. Our government has just issued permits for dangerous offshore oil drilling exploration and have doomed an unique ecological area called the Denniston Plateau for coal mining. They just don't get the big picture and it frustrates me and causes me sleepness nights. Reply Elisabeth lozano January 12th, 2014 Conservar é tudo de bom !!!! Reply Trish Waddleton January 12th, 2014 For years our giants of industry have raped and pillaged 3rd world countries and we sat back and let it happen. Now they are turning their greedy eyes on us, Canada, Australia and Europe. We thought we were untouchable but the beast has turned on us. If we sit still for this there will be no recognizing our World when they are through. Reply yancy rowlette January 12th, 2014 this is an important step in our cleaving the animals that are discarded/killed in our forestry sites!!! please write!!! Reply Gail Lyall January 12th, 2014 We MUST continue to protect and fight for wildlife! Jane Clugston said it best–the further we are from our natural environment, the further we are spiritually from ourselves. There is only one reason why the ESA would be stopped: Money! Who would profit? Gas and oil companies, coal companies, and more. It is imperative that we keep the ESA! Reply Judith Hamilton January 12th, 2014 The Endangered Species Act must always remain intact. The viability of many species are at risk because of terrible management from Government agencies not keeping their promise to have a clear and precise vision on why the ESA must be kept alive and well. We must demand that no one as the ability to change the clearly defined laws that protect our wild life and endangered species. I commend all the organizations fighting to keep our endangered species protected and preserved for future generations. I will also be fighting to keep our wild horses, 55 thousand help in captivity, asked that they be placed back on our wild lands and be free to roam again by the BLM Bureau of Land Management. Thank you Reply C. Day January 13th, 2014 We live in Idaho and I can tell you that The Gov. in this state would rather spend our money ($2,000,000.00) to have the wolfs killed then use the money to help our schools (this is one reason why) our schools rank 48th in the country for being the worse. Gee could it be that the Gov. needs to pay back some people for helping to get him elected him again!! We sure hope the people in Idaho have had enough of this guy. Wake up Idaho he's no good for our state he only likes destroying OUR life style. And for the record our style is to help our schools not kill the wildlife for the hunters. Reply Barb Holcomb January 13th, 2014 Our lives and the lives of our decendents are tied to our ecosystems. If they do not survive, humanity will not survive. It is not enough to save them for a few years, then desert them until the last possible moment and try to save them again. There are limits that once surpassed are final. Life is not a movie, tv show or video game. Reality cannot be rewritten or restaged. Digital special effects do not replace life. Reply I love God´s creation and I believe that we should be good administrators of what He has given us and not to destroy His blessings. My sister VIDA AMOR DE PAZ was awarded the environmentalist of the year in Guatemala and her book EXTREME ADVENTURE. An ep January 13th, 2014 BLESSINGS TO EACH ONE OF YOU FOR PROTECTING WOLVES, ENDANGERED SPECIES, AND PROTECTING OUR WORLD FROM CLIMATE CHANGE. Reply Doreen Frega January 13th, 2014 We must preserve our precious Wildlife along with our Trees, Land and Water. We need to storm Washington to protect the Endangered Species Act. I am happy there are many people who do care…. Tell your Senators and Representatives. Reply gloria taber January 13th, 2014 Please keep these protections in place. We, as humans, can't survive without the rest of our wildlife and environment!! Reply chris graville January 14th, 2014 Trophy hunting should be stopped – end of – hunting humanely for food is another story. Trapping for game torture should be heavily fined and leavingtraps for more than 12 hours should be illegal. If we ate less beef there may be less cattle barrons ,and if those cattle barrons employed mounted shepherds/cowboys to patrol and protect herds wolves would keep their distance. After all if you encroach on a wolfs territrory then put cattle there instead , how can he reason that they are not fair game especially when their main source of food ie elk are being killed just for fun . Reply DEBRA L WARRENS January 19th, 2014 As a human being it is our moral duty to save and protect our WILDLIFE and their ENVIRONMENT. To stand by and do nothing, is CRIMINALLY wrong! As our history has shown us, MAN is the TOP PREDATOR on our planet EARTH, and it is because of him that many of us, ANIMAL WELFARE ADVOCATES will have to keep vigil over these animals.
