• Tony Larvin watches a Hull KR match

By Mason Jones
A TIMESHARE salesman convicted of running dodgy cashback schemes on the Costa del Sol is planning to pump €17 million into his old rugby club.
Tony Larvin, 48, hopes to take over indebted Hull Kingston Rovers, where he played as a teenager, despite conning hundreds of holidaymakers in Spain.
Larvin, who still claims he is innocent, spent five months in a Spanish prison after his firm, Cashback Promotions, conned clients out of millions in investment funds.
The conman – a former associate of the late seasoned fraudster Garry Leigh – now lives the millionaire lifestyle.
The businessman, now based in the UK, brushed off his damaged reputation and urged people to judge him on what he can do for the struggling club and not on his past.
He said: "They were completely false accusations and I have spent a long time, and a lot of money, clearing my name."
He added: "I have no case to answer and I am here now, trying to do my best for Hull. I hope fans will give me that chance."
The businessman claims he is funding the investment with money he earned from working with investment banks and hedge fund companies since being released from prison in Spain.
The Olive Press reported in 2011 how Larvin had bought stunning Bentley Hall, in the town of Beverley, and was driving a top-of-the-range Mercedes.
A close family source said: "That's not bad for a guy who left Spain with what he could carry in the back of his car.
"He says he earns his money in investments but I don't know how because he doesn't do anything all day."

Just to say thank you for bringing this article to light. My wife and i, and countless others lost thousands of pounds through this mans bogus Cash back & holiday scam, and are never likely to see any money returned. First time i have seen a photo of this evil crook. Thanks again Robin Hamilton.

The purchase never happened and the money never appeared, though if it did there would be several thousand people (me included) asking for some of it back!
It turns out that Hull Kingston Rovers never actually believed him to be the real deal and he is now a laughing stock in Hull. I would like to see him become a laughing stock in a Spanish prison too!

Hi everyone
Some of our admin staff use Outlook calendars to keep track of site bookings (such as use of drama rooms, evening concerts, etc). It would be very useful to be able to set recurring appointments up (e.g. timetabled lessons) so that they repeat but skip weeks such as half term. With a two week timetable, we can set 'repeat every two weeks', but this gets skewed by one week when half term occurs. Is there any way of setting an exclusion on the recurrence, such that it will 'miss out' one (or more) week/s?

Hepato-pancreato-Biliary Surgery
Clinic Description
HEPATO-pancreato-BILIARY SURGERY WITHIN THE DIVISION OF ABDOMINAL ORGAN TRANSPLANTATION
The surgeons in the Division of Abdominal Organ Transplantation specialize in all aspects of the surgical treatment of liver, biliary and pancreatic diseases including liver resection for benign and malignant conditions, bile duct surgery and reconstruction, surgical treatment of pancreatic cancer and benign disease, and surgical treatment of portal hypertension in addition to liver and pancreas transplantation. They are uniquely qualified to deal with primary liver tumors in that they are an integral part of a close-knit multidisciplinary team that can offer the consideration of transplantation to select patients when removal of the tumor(s) is not feasible by standard liver resection. Moreover, due to their expertise in reconstructing the blood vessels into and out of the liver, skill in re-operative liver and biliary surgery and experience in caring for patients with advanced liver disease they can often consider surgical therapy of advanced tumors.
Caring for patients with benign and malignant conditions of the liver, bile ducts and pancreas, requires a multidisciplinary team effort across a variety of medical, radiologic and surgical specialties. The surgeons of the Division of Abdominal Organ Transplantation at Oregon Health & Science University are uniquely qualified to offer the complete range of surgical treatment to patients with diseases of the liver, pancreas and biliary tract. When feasible, minimally invasive (laparoscopic) techniques are utilized and if resection or transplantation is not possible, ablative therapies are considered. Each patient is individually considered for the best treatment plan to provide the best results possible. The surgeons within the Division of Abdominal Organ Transplantation have a very busy, high volume and up to date surgical practice that lends itself to superb outcomes across all of the disciplines of liver, biliary and pancreatic diseases.

How dumb, how cloddishly literal and silly and demented a piece of nonsense, is Hannibal Rising? Just see if this doesn't leave you choking on your liver. Near the end of World War II, Hannibal Lecter (Gaspard Ulliel), a young Lithuanian noble with black marble eyes, watches his parents get killed by the Nazis (and that's the least of his problems). He flees to Paris and moves in with his Japanese-born aunt, the severely beautiful and devoted Lady Murasaki (Gong Li), who likes to kneel, in ritual worship, before a suit of samurai armor. Under her tutelage, Hannibal learns the martial arts, just like Bruce Wayne or the Karate Kid, and at one point he dons the armor's facial mask, with its sticklike ''teeth.'' It looks very much like you guessed it the mask used to subdue Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs.
But wait a minute. It's not as if that mask was ever a part of Lecter's arsenal; it was snapped onto his face against his will. Having him wear an early version of it makes no sense (it would be like having Lee Harvey Oswald, as a boy, pestered by a schoolyard bully named Little Jack Ruby), and so all that comes across is that the filmmakers recognized the mask as a marketing icon and felt compelled to squeeze it into the movie. They couldn't have been more bluntly idiotic about it had they made the young Hannibal a teenage farmer who sows a sunny acre of fava beans.
Hannibal Rising was written by Thomas Harris, who adapted his recent prequel novel, but it proves that Harris is no longer in touch with the viciously witty demon-superman he created in 1981's Red Dragon. It seems that Lecter, during the war, was captured by a pack of Eastern European thugs who survived by killing and eating his little sister. This, of course, is supposed to be the Freudian skeleton key to Lecter's cannibalistic obsession, but as an explanation it doesn't just misunderstand Lecter it violates his essence. Haunted by seeing his sibling turned into snack food, Lecter hunts down the brutes who committed the crime. The killings get progressively more violent: He eats one man's cheeks (cooking up a mushroom-and-flesh brochette over a campfire) and slashes the chest of another in a way that would make Sid Vicious cower. The movie is Death Wish with human giblets.
The trouble is, we're so used to the conventions of revenge thrillers that everything Lecter does here, in movie terms, is boringly justified. The Dr. Lecter we know and love, on the other hand, kills and eats whomever he feels like, and that certainly means you or me. He scarcely needs the rationalization of vengeance, and he is not repeat, not a sociopath. (''They don't know what else to call him,'' mused Will Graham in Manhunter.) He's an amoral Nietzschean killer king, whose intelligence places him so far above the rest of the human race that he can slay us all like ants. Hannibal Rising reduces this great creature of the pop imagination to a Eurotrash Boy Scout throwing a homicidal snit fit. D

Sunshine is a State of Mind
Categories: Boots On The Ground: Service Stories, Making Our Difference: TBL CSR
Despite chilly temps and rainy skies, Team Timberland in New Hampshire still managed to pull on our boots (and out hats, and our waterproof jackets) for Serv-a-palooza yesterday. Stories to come, pictures for now:
Congrats and gratitude to the hundreds of Timberland employees and partners whose spirit positively shined yesterday. Dry off and rest up … the 15th annual Serv-a-palooza will be here before you know it!
Pulling On Our Boots for Serv-a-palooza
Categories: Boots On The Ground: Service Stories, Making Our Difference: TBL CSR
Tomorrow marks the beginning of a month-plus community service effort, carried out by Timberland employees across the globe. The initiative is "Serv-a-palooza" – what started as a one-day, annual event where Timberland employees would abandon their desks and day jobs to serve in their local communities, and has grown to become a weeks-long series of service events executed in countries and communities around the world — all focused on meeting critical needs, creating sustainable impact and celebrating the power and passions of Timberland employees.
Serv-a-palooza is more than an event – it's a representation of what we do best, which is sharing our strength to create positive outcomes. Our employees' commitment to and passion for service is far too great to fit in an 8-hour workday, and so to see the program grow much bigger and broader than it was when we started 14 years ago isn't just gratifying – it's absolutely necessary.
Timberland President & CEO, Jeff Swartz
Throughout September and October, Timberland employees and partners will pull on their boots and make a difference through service projects which speak to our company's New England heritage, commitment to social and environmental responsibility, and passion for the outdoors.
In New Hampshire, hundreds of Timberland employees will do their part tomorrow to positively impact their local communities – as well as those that are not so local. At our corporate headquarters in Stratham, volunteers will frame four houses for Habitat for Humanity. Two of the houses will go to families from Joplin, Missouri, whose homes were destroyed by tornadoes earlier this year, and two houses will go to families in need in Kansas City, Missouri.
Other Stratham-area projects taking place tomorrow will include painting and landscaping at a non-profit and community center, and constructing an outdoor stage and amphitheatre for the town of Newmarket. Timberland's first New Hampshire headquarters and factory were located in Newmarket, and the small mill town is affectionately considered the "birthplace" of the Timberland® brand.
Our roots are in Newmarket … it seems only fitting that our boots are headed back there. Many employees – including me – have really precious memories of our early days in Newmarket, and I hope the space and the foundation we create there will help create the same kind of memories for others in the future.
- Jeff Swartz

If you are living in rented accommodation in Ireland you must pay the owner of the property for the use of the premises. The money you pay to the landlord for the use of the property is called rent. Everyone living in rented accommodation (including private and local authority tenants) pays rent. Usually the amount of rent payable for a property is negotiated between the landlord and tenant at the start of the tenancy.
In the past, tenants in Ireland without a lease had no protection against rent increases. This meant that landlords could increase the rent as much as they liked, as often as they liked. Today, tenants have more security as a result of changes in the law and landlords must follow certain procedures if they want to increase the rent.
Under Section 19 of the Residential Tenancies Act 2004 (pdf) landlords cannot charge more than the open market rate for the apartment or house. (See 'Rates' for more information on the open market rate). You should note that the provisions of the Residential Tenancies Act only apply to mainstream private rented housing - local authority tenants are covered by different laws. You can find out more about local authority tenancies here and about your landlord's rights and obligations here. Your landlord cannot review the rent more than once a year unless the accommodation has changed substantially. This might, for example, constitute a complete refurbishment or another major change. You can ask your landlord to review the rent if:
Your landlord has the right to review the rent annually. However your landlord must give you at least 28 days notice (in writing) before increasing the rent. If there is any dispute about the amount of rent or about arrears of rent, either side can refer the dispute to the Private Residential Tenancies Board (PRTB). You must contact the PRTB before the date the new rent comes into effect or within 28 days of getting the notice, whichever is later. Read more about the PRTB and dispute resolution here.
The law (Section 19 of the Private Residential Tenancies Act 2004) defines the open market rate as "the rent which a willing tenant not already in occupation would give and a willing landlord would take for the dwelling". One of the PRTB's functions is to monitor and research trends to find out what this market rate is in relation to cases taken to the PRTB.

The state's education reform agenda, which has been underway for several years, implements true P-20 education alignment across the state's education systems and is anchored by a common definition of postsecondary and workforce readiness to ensure students exit prepared for postsecondary education and workforce success.
Project SchoolView™ envisions a flexible enterprise P-20 information and knowledge management system that will equip users to manage and use information for informed decision making ensuring all students in Colorado are ready for postsecondary or workforce success. It addresses the following strategic priorities:
CAPTURE: P-20 student-focused data are effectively and efficiently collected across multiple data sources including student information, programmatic classifications and educator quality.
LINK: Data is effectively shared and exchanged across multiple agencies (human services, K-12, higher education, labor, corrections) and levels (district, state, federal) to promote accountability, inform policy and ensure a holistic view of student success.
PROVIDE: Stakeholders (parents/guardians, students, educators, policymakers and researchers) have access via interactive portals to understandable, timely and reliable information; online content; and collaboration tools to inform and improve student performance.
OIT Leadership
OIT provides the leadership to develop a shared statewide vision for the state's human capital development system, interagency collaboration, and a strategic plan for developing new data governance and management systems. OIT also provides a mechanism to manage the connections among state agency systems, providing enterprise architecture, data governance and management that facilitate cross-agency collaboration.
OIT is a key partner with the Colorado Department of Education in developing the Statewide Longitudinal Data System (SLDS). SLDS is being built via a $17.4 million grant awarded to the Colorado Department of Education in May 2010 from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. This comprehensive data system will capture student data from multiple sources and allow for data sharing across multiple agencies to inform policy and make data available to parents, educators, policy makers, and researchers while also protecting privacy. Please visit the Colorado Department of Education's SLDS web page for additional information.

Take Two for December 4, 2012
'Gay conversion' therapy rulings conflict in district courts
Michael Smith/Getty Images
A converted U.S. flag displays rainbow colors as people relax on the grass after the fourth annual national march for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender rights April 30, 2000 on the mall in Washington, DC.
Opponents of a new California law that bans gay conversion therapy for minors won a round in federal court Monday. But on Tuesday in a different district court, the plaintiffs of a similar case were denied their injunction.
U.S. District Court Judge William Shubb sided with plaintiffs Monday by issuing a preliminary injunction that temporarily exempts only the three plaintiffs from the ban. They argued that SB 1172, which restricts efforts by licensed health professionals to change people's sexual orientation, violated First Amendment and parental rights.
The preliminary injunction allows the three plaintiffs to continue their practice until after a full trial.
Conversely, on Tuesday in a different district court, Judge Kimberly J. Mueller denied a preliminary injunction against the law in a ruling in the Pickup v. Brown case.
"[Shubb] found that there is a likelihood that there would be a First Amendment violation as applied to their forms of psychoanalysis," said David Cruz, law professor at USC. "He rejected the idea that this could be or should be analyzed as a professional regulation relying on what [Mueller] characterized as dictum in a 9th Circuit Court of Appeals."
Mueller looked at the law differently, ruling that it was open to professional regulation by the state as allowed by the Supreme Court.
"She read the statute in accordance with the way the defense read it, the state government read it, to say: You can mention it, you're not being forbidden from referring them to an unlicensed person to practice these conversion efforts…you can give them literature, but you cannot engage in efforts to change them," said Cruz.
Conflicting rulings in similar cases are not unheard of. Plaintiffs are free to file their own suits, they're not automatically consolidated, and they're also assigned judges at random.
"Here we have 74-year-old Judge Shubb, granting the opinion, he had been appointed by President George Bush, and 55-year-old Mueller, appointed by President Obama, denying the injunction in the other case," said Cruz.
If either party was to file an appeal, the 9th Circuit Court would likely group them together and make one ruling, the professor said. Both judges left the law largely intact and it is still slated to take effect January 1st, with an exception for the three plaintiffs in the Shubb ruling.

Merkley + Partners won the pitch for LendingTree's creative account and will break its first campaign slated to begin in the spring. The New York shop beat two other finalists to land the business. Merkley CEO Alex Gellert described LendingTree as an "iconic brand and a pioneer in changing how people secure financing." The agency's other accounts include Mercedes-Benz, Ferrero Rocher and Sun Products.
The Morris + King Company has been retained by Heifer International, one of the world's leading foundations dedicated to ending global poverty. "We are particularly proud to begin this partnership with Heifer International, one of the world's most important not-for-profits," said Judith R.

text: 26 March 2014 Grizzlies Wake & Defenders Gets to Work Posted by: Erin Edge | 13 comments | Share: The calendar tells me the end of March is nearing, and in the bear world this means one thing: Spring is around the corner and grizzly bears have begun to stir in their dens. Male bears will occasionally leave their dens in March, while females with young typically come out last, around May. Grizzly bear den site Bears typically den high up in the mountains where snow levels remain high in spring. Having not had a solid meal in approximately 5-7 months, and having lost up to 30% of their body weight, bears with very grumbling tummies descend into the valleys in search of food. Natural spring foods may include green vegetation such as grasses, glacier lilies and clover, as well more substantial meals like winter-killed deer and elk. It's always a concern that bears will sniff out chickens in a backyard, or garbage or birdfeeders at someone's home. Unbeknownst to the bears, these items are dangerous alternatives. To prevent bears from damaging property and/or getting into unsecured attractants, as soon as bears rouse from their deep sleep, we begin our intensive field season. Our field team is accomplished at (and enjoys) implementing on-the-ground projects to prevent grizzly bears from coming into conflicts with people. Our skilled field technician directly assists residents with various projects on many species across our region, including grizzly bears, bison and wolves. Keep an eye out for fun blogs from our field teams throughout the year. In 2014, Defenders once again will be offering our Electric Fencing Incentive program. This program offers 50% reimbursement for the cost of an electric fence around items that attract bears (garbage livestock, fruit trees, etc.) with a maximum reimbursement of $500. This program is incredibly popular and highly successful. Since 2010, more than 90 participants living in grizzly bear country have used our electric fencing to protect their chickens, livestock, fruit trees and garbage from bears. And the program is growing: We hope to complete up to 50 more bear-resistant fencing projects in 2014. Defenders' Russ Talmo constructs an electric fence. Before the projects, some of these locations had chronic problems with bears killing chickens and then being removed by management agencies due to human safety concerns – a situation that is as sad as it is avoidable. By utilizing bear-resistant electric fencing, landowners protect their property and improve human safety while also reducing the likelihood that a bear will be trapped and removed and/or killed for coming into conflict with people. Human related mortality continues to be the number one threat facing grizzly bears, and electric fencing, while effective, is not a panacea for all issues facing grizzly bears. In addition to implementing bear-resistant electric fencing, we are actively working in communities with landowners, whether they like bears or not, to achieve a common goal of stopping bear-human conflicts from occurring. In addition to our electric fencing program, Defenders works with various partners on a number of preventative projects like range riders and livestock guard dogs for livestock producers, bear-resistant food storage lockers for campgrounds and bear-resistant garbage containers for neighborhoods and restaurants. Me with one of our posters, spreading awareness of our electric fencing incentive program. We are determined to positively impact the landscape, including securing safe grizzly bear habitat, giving them a fighting chance at long term recovery. This means a multi-pronged approach for our grizzly bear team. Defenders combats anti-grizzly legislation and follows closely any policy changes that may impact populations. Additionally, this spring, we'll start gearing up our outreach and education programs to disseminate practical and useful information about why it is important that ecosystems and the lands that we live on include bears and other wildlife species, and how humans and wildlife can coexist. Our events often include hosting tables at festivals and fairs, but we also go into classrooms and create tailored presentations, free of charge, for groups of all ages and demographics. Tabling events are fun, with materials as well as hands-on activities, but kids programs are my favorite. Their wide eyes, open minds and insightful questions enthrall and entertain us all the time! While spring this year will start just like any other field season for bears, we anticipate the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will propose delisting of the Greater Yellowstone grizzly bear population, and potentially the Northern Continental Divide population as well. In 1975, grizzly bears in the lower 48 were listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. Intensive work by agencies, conservation groups and the public has resulted in a tremendous effort to bring Yellowstone grizzly bears back from only a couple hundred bears to over 600-700 today, and the Northern Continental Divide population is now estimated at close to 1,000 bears. Defenders will carefully review and comment on any delisting proposal and related science. We do know that it will take an ongoing, coordinated and dedicated effort by conservation organizations, agencies and those living, working and recreating in bear country to ensure a long-term future for grizzly bears. Erin Edge, Rockies & Plains Representative 13 Responses to "Grizzlies Wake & Defenders Gets to Work" Dianne Burke March 27th, 2014 So glad to read of your positive solutions toward helping humans and bears to co-exist … A totally necessary program in these days of substantial human population explosions in or near traditional bear habitat. It is clearly critical that education and knowledge should be a foundation for a newer and more compassionate understanding. Thank you for being there for the bears and their new hungry cubs! It is so wonderful to know of such happy solutions by humans to recognise and foster kindness and appreciation of our diverse and wonderful Earth and all life upon it! Reply Denise Arriaga April 2nd, 2014 What a wonderful read! So glad to see the wonderful ideas flowing from such a great organization, doing your best to ensure that humans and wildlife can certainly co-exist! Great work! Reply Linda A. Newhams April 13th, 2014 I admire you people for doing what you do. Keep up the good work. I love animals domestic & wild. Reply Jane Parker April 13th, 2014 Yes, this is what is needed…an educated approach to the public by an organization as great as Defenders of Wildlife. The name says it all. We visit and camp in Yellowstone quite often during the summer. The grizzly bear and the wolves are what brings us back year after year . My husband is a photographer and the magnificent photos we bring back gives us many memories. We are from San Diego where there are no grizzlies or wolves. We must continue to educate the importance of their continued future in the wild. Reply Anne coppens April 13th, 2014 Alle animal free and respect nature, home for animal Nature= leurs espaces a EUX !! Reply Adrienne April 13th, 2014 Thank you for such a great idea that makes everyone safe and coexisting happily together! Reply Ed Loosli April 13th, 2014 When you write above, that it is expected that the US Fish & Wildlife Service will propose that the grizzly bear be removed from the Endangered Species List — What bothers me is that you are not being clear that Defenders of Wildlife will fight this de-listing proposal, which certainly will not be based on the best science, which says that the grizzly bear is still very much an Endangered Species. Reply Romola Newport April 13th, 2014 Defenders of Wildlife you are an amazing group, so many non human animals need our protection and you are doing an outstanding job, thank you. Reply Michelle Matthews April 13th, 2014 It's a blessing to see that the ppl living in the area where they may come into contact with bears are listening to your plan and getting involved in a plan to keeping the bears and themselves safe. All I can do is sign petitions. I wish we had the same intelligent ppl in Idaho dealing with the Wolf population that aren't even coming into ppls backyards. It's SO disheartening to sit here in Va. and not be able to do more than just sign & write letters to try and save these beautiful creatures. God Bless you and those with you that are doing what you do to keep the bears safe. Reply sandra molla April 13th, 2014 I am very strong activist for animal protector and a member of Defender of Wildlife .THANK YOU!!!!!!!! Reply Ola Cooney April 13th, 2014 I love the idea of preventative programs and educating students. You are all doing a great job! Reply June Amell April 14th, 2014 My heart breaks to see what Idaho and Wyoming have done to their Wolf populations. We need more people with scientific know how and compassion to lead the Fish and Wildlife Service, not people like Ken Salazar. Reply Gary L May 8th, 2014 Right now the greatest threat to Yellowstone grizzlies is the habituation to food and these preventive measures are directly reducing the mortality of bears. As the grizzly population continues to grow they are roaming into new areas. Education and the ability to move through safe corridors will be the keys to their survival. A non-profit organization called The Vital Ground Foundation purchases private land conservation easements. These easements essentially protect the land from perpetual development, thus providing bears opportunities to safely move from Yellowstone to the Bitterroots in Idaho and to the Northern Continental Divide in Montana. If accomplished, the gene pool of grizzlies will be healthy and whole. Reply Post Your Comment Click here to cancel reply.

Report of JSSS KL Harinama: 10th September 2011
Rati Gopika dd:
nama om visnupadaya krsna prestaya bhutale
srimati bhaktivedanta swamin iti namine
namaste sarsawate deve gaura vani paracrine
nirvisesa sunyavadi pascatya desa tarine
nama om visnupadaya krsna prestaya bhutale
srimate Jayapataka swamin iti namine
nama acaryapadaya nitai krpa pradayine
gaura katha dhama daya nagara grama tarine
JSSS KL organized a Harinama instead of its usual monthly gathering at Sri Jagannatha Mandir Kuala Lumpur. This was done in conjunction with the World Holy Name's Week. On the most auspicious day of Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur's Appearance day and in conjunction with the first day of the World Holy Name's Week, more than 70 devotees including children, youths and elders gathered at Lot 10, one of Kuala Lumpur's well-known shopping mall for the Harinama.
History was made as the transcendental chanting of the Holy Names resounded at the heart of Bukit Bintang, the Golden Triangle of Kuala Lumpur on Saturday, 10 September 2011. Thousands throng this area daily and on 10 September 2011, thousands were fortunate to have heard the Holy Names. In Sri Caitanya Caritamrta, the Kazi promised Lord Caitanya that not only he but his descendants will also never oppose the sankirtana-yajna and they would never be against Lord Krsna. Devotees felt that this promise was kept as the Sankirtan party weaved and danced through the streets of Kuala Lumpur.
Prior to the start of the Harinama, devotees gathered at Sri Jaganath Mandir, Kuala Lumpur. Srila Prabhupada Gurupuja was performed by HG Rasa Parayana prabhu before heading to the destination for the Harinama. Some devotees proceeded straight to Lot 10 and were waiting for the arrival of other devotees. This year also marks the 40th year of Srila Prabhupada's visit to Malaysia. Srila Prabhupada visited Malaysia only once in 1971 and had great hopes for the people of this nation to accept and practice Krishna Consciousness.
HG Sumohan Krishna prabhu and HG Sasi Mukhi Radha devi dasi mataji toiled in the kitchen to prepare sumptuous prasadam for all the devotees present from as early as 11am. A special appreciation also goes to HG Tritha Gauranga das and HG Eka Deva Das for helping Sumohan prabhu in the kitchen. Their service is highly appreciated by the JSSS KL Committee and the rest of the devotees. 100 packets of prasadam were then packed and loaded into devotees' vehicles. The day before, a team of devotees also gathered to pack 1000 packets of dry ground-nuts prasadam for distribution during the Harinama.
With a strong burning desire to give the Holy Names to one and all, the devotees then departed from SJMKL at about 5.30pm. The enthusiastic media representatives were already present at Lot 10 when the first group of devotees arrived. They were eager to cover the news. Four media titles, namely Bernama TV, The Sun, New Straits Times and RTM was invited by JSSS KL to cover this event. The Holy Names were not only spread in Bukit Bintang but also reached the masses via media coverage.
What at first seemed to be a small gathering of 20 -30 devotees' swelled to more than 70 devotees as the clock showed 7.30pm. Devotees were all clad in Saris, Gopi dresses for the matajis and Dhotis and Kurtas for the prabhus. They were all shining like bright suns with their foreheads marked with tilak while waiting eagerly to sing and dance to the transcendental tunes of the Hare Krishna Maha-Mantra. Those walking pass soon noticed the devotees and some tourists asked to be photographed with the devotees even before the Harinama started.
As soon as HG Simheswara Das prabhu and HG Kripa Sindhu Krishna das prabhus arrived, the media interviewed them. They spoke in brief about the objectives of the Harinama. The presence of the media grabbed more attention and everyone stopped to look and read our banners. To also heed to the Government's call to curb social ills such as misuse of drugs, the organizing committee in collaboration with a government agency known as PEMADAM (The National Anti-Drug Abuse Association of Malaysia) handed out some brochures to the public to inform and raise the awareness level of the masses on misuse of drugs which is also in line with our philosophy of no-intoxication.
Within an hour, about 1000 packets of prasadam were distributed. Many SJMKL contact cards were also given out to the thrilled crowd in Bukit Bintang.
It was then time to begin. Srila Prabhupada's Murti lead the Harinama team, followed by the prabhu's kirtan party, the mataji's dancing team and the rest of the devotees. The devotees carried colourful flags and banners. The banners were printed with the Maha-Mantra in three different languages, English, Tamil and Chinese. Devotees also carried banners that propagated against drug abuse. The melodious chanting of the Holy Names and the unstoppable drumbeats from the main Kirtan team lead by HG Kripa Sindhu Krishna dasa attracted many Malaysians and tourists alike to join in the dance. The Harinama party danced across one of the nation's busiest and highly populated area chanting the Holy Names loud and clear. Malaysians and tourists were busy taking photographs and recording videos using their iPads and smartphones and whatever other gadgets that allowed them to do so.
Many of these videos and photos would have been uploaded into various social media channels to be shared with a larger group of people. The endless clicking and shooting from their cameras only ceased when the Harinama team ended the program three hours later. In short, the devotees were swamped! The Harinama party consisted of some children who also became the center of attention. Many were captured by their beautiful, angelic looks and their talent in dance and music instruments. We noted that no one from the crowd were averse to the devotees or the chanting. Everyone regardless of their race, religion was so mesmerized with the devotees chanting and dancing to the Holy Names. It was truly a miracle and one can only assume that Lord Caitanya's and Srila Prabhupada's mercy and blessings were flowing unlimitedly at that time.
The Harinama brought a sense of spiritual elevation and happiness into the hearts of the people who were hearing the chanting of the Holy Names. Bukit Bintang, usually a place that never sleeps and is always lively, however the Harinama made the place even livelier. Everyone managed a smile and were even encouraging as the devotees sang and danced pass them. It was an amazing experience! It was an experience most of us never had before. The devotees in the Harinama realized the potency of the Holy Names and were able to experience first-hand the practical aspects of our Krishna Conscious philosophy namely Sravanam and Kirtanam. It was indeed philosophy put into practice!
At about 10.00pm the Harinama party entered Jalan Alor, the final stretch for the day. Many were tired but blissful and did not want the Harinama to end so soon. At Jalan Alor, the party passed a long stretch of roadside hawkers. There were thousands of people there enjoying their dinner and drinks but stopped to appreciate the Harinama party. A street guitarist joined in with the kirtan party and offered to play his guitar to the tunes of the Maha-Mantra. The Harinama ended with Prema-Dhwani prayers chanted by HG Kripa Sindhu prabhu.
Devotees then walked back to their respective vehicles. Prasadam was distributed to devotees at the car park. Just as we placed Srila Prabhupada murti in the car of a devotee, the rain came pouring down. It was as though Lord Indra was waiting for a pure devotee, Srila Prabhupada to be safely seated in a shelter before he sent rain to shower the streets of Kuala Lumpur, indicating that He was indeed pleased with the Harinama Sankirtan Yagya. There was no doubt at all that this was something magical, something spiritual. The clouds stirred in a beautiful way as though indicating that they were holding up until the Harinama was over. It was astounding.
Devotees left home that night feeling truly blissful than ever and in a thankful mood for the opportunity to be part of this wonderful spiritual ecstasy. As per the revelations in the scriptures, it can be safely concluded that whoever watched and heard the Holy Names that night would have definitely begun their journey home, back home to Godhead.
JSSS KL prays that this humble endeavour to spread the Holy Names would have pleased Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Srila Prabhupada and the previous Acharyas. JSSS KL dedicates the results of this Harinama to our beloved spiritual master, Srila Jayapataka Swami Guru Maharaj.
A big thank you from the bottom of our hearts to all the devotees who were present for the Harinama and all those who helped in any way possible to make the Harinama a success.
Thank you and Hare Krishna
Harinama Sankirtan ki Jai! Srila Prabhupada ki Jai!
Your servants,
JSSS KL Committee

This day is sunny and gorgeous, clear. Trees from our back deck glow copper and still green, and the air is fresh. Rosemary's scent permeates the house. Daphne sleeps in a sunpatch, for once not eating the plants. There is much to be grateful for - that I can enjoy the leisure and have the financial ability to enjoy the creation of the above menu is just a part of that. We'll take a walk later, when it's a bit warmer, maybe continue reading Byron's silly and excessive Don Juan.

The 10 Hottest IT Jobs in Demand
Even in tough economic times, employees with the right skills will always be in demand in the IT industry. Baseline analyzed recent employment studies and interviewed several technology recruiters and industry professionals to find the hottest IT positions today. Although there is still consistent demand for the "old-reliable" jobs such as network administration and help desk positions, these picks reflect the current gaps between supply and demand.
1. Senior Level Java/J2EE and .NET Developers
Most headhunters agree that finding lead developers with Java/J2EE or .NET proficiency and management experience can be a tall task in today's market.
"If they're software developers and they have Java/J2EE or any of the .NET skills, they're very hot right now," says Janet Miller, president of the recruiting firm Computer Management.
2. Application Development Managers
Dan Martineau of Martineau Recruiting Technology says that the need for application development managers nips closely at the heels of Java/J2EE opportunities at the top of search lists from clients.
"There is a definite need for applications development managers with strong technical backgrounds, specifically within object-oriented and service-oriented architecture-based applications," he says.
In the Robert Half Technology 2008 Salary Guide, lead applications developer was listed as the position predicted to see the largest increase in salary this year, with an increase of 7.6 percent.
3. Security Professionals
In spite of increased awareness about IT security in recent years, there is still a skills gap when it comes to this specialty. In fact, a recent CompTIA survey found that among all IT skills, security has the biggest disparity between demand and supply of proficient workers.
"Managers we talk to say that the reason skills are coming up short is because the security landscape changes so rapidly that it is very difficult for anyone to stay on top of all of the different threats that are out there," says Steven Ostrowski, director of corporate communications for CompTIA.
*Is there really an IT labor shortage? Some say no.
4. Architects of All Stripes
All varieties of architects are in strong demand today, but there is a special need for those who can help organizations ramp up their burgeoning service-level architecture deployments, Martineau says.
"Architects of all stripes are big right now, but the hottest ones are applications architects," says Martineau.
According to the Robert Half Technology 2008 Salary Guide, applications architects are expected this year to see the second-largest average pay raise among all of the positions it studied, with an expected bump of 7.5 percent.
5. Talented IT Managers
Pretty much all of the data and anecdotal evidence point to an acute need for talented IT managers. Businesses seek ideal candidates who not only have strong technical skills, but also proficiency in communication and business knowledge.
"All of those things that fall into the bucket of what seem to be 'soft skills' is something that most employers—if not all employers—want in addition to the technical skills that people need to have," Ostrowski says.
A recent survey by Robert Half Technology backed Ostrowski up—more than 41 percent of CIOs questioned said that they are placing a greater emphasis on knowledge of business fundamentals when considering applicants for IT positions.
These fundamentals are especially important for those in management, Martineau says. He believes that there is a particular need for managers who are able to capably lead geographically dispersed teams and who can effectively manage outsourced labor.
6. Business Technology Professionals
The fact that there even are designated "business technology" roles should scare IT professionals because, as Martineau puts it, they exist only because IT isn't doing what is expected of it.
"The difference between business technology and information technology roles is that IT delivers a particular service—whether it's a shared service or an application or whatever," he says, "while business technology workers accomplish the hybrid goals that live between the business and IT. These are strategic roles that are all about aligning the business needs with IT."
*Is there really an IT labor shortage? Some say no.
7. Database Administrators and Managers
In its annual salary report, Robert Half Technology recently pinned database administration and management as one of the key growth niches in IT, particularly in light of Bureau of Labor Statistics predictions that this sector will outpace the growth of all other occupations through 2014.
This year Robert Half expects the biggest salary bumps in this category to benefit data modelers (7 percent) and business intelligence analysts (6.6 percent).
8. Infrastructure Pros with Strong Backgrounds in Virtualization
Most organizations these days are trying to find a way to leverage virtualization deployments into bottom-line savings.
"Virtualization is the biggest thing going on in the data center right now," Martineau says. "It allows you to deliver the same number of applications with a quarter of the servers, saving space, money and power, so people with virtualization skills are in high demand."
9. Web 2.0 Developers
As business finds more ways to utilize Web 2.0 and service-oriented architecture (SOA), the need for developers with appropriate skills will continue to rise, Ostrowski says.
"There's a lot of interest in the Web 2.0 type applications and development, so people who have some sort of ability in that arena certainly have a leg up," he adds.
10. Wireless Networking Experts
Although wireless professionals may not be in very strong demand today, the need for their skills will soon outstrip the supply, many experts believe.
"Wireless IT skills are going to be critical in the not-too-distant future," Ostrowski says.
A recent CompTIA survey of more than 3,500 IT managers found that wireless and radio frequency (RF) mobile technology is the skill set they expect to increase most in importance over the next five years.
*Is there really an IT labor shortage? Some say no.

Will cab drivers now be accompanied by TSA thugs who will frisk and fondle passengers in an effort to prevent the bogeymen from hijacking these vehicles for suicide runs at some fantasized target?

Stash ComfortFriday, January 21st, 2011
I Know lots of you are talking about not buying new fabric, using what you have and being focused on only buying fabric with a purpose when you do.But it is very comforting to know on grey English days, when everywhere I look I see this: Quilt Chaos!
To know that I had this was winging its way to me.
And now it is here and washed and folded I do feel a bit more calm. Yes I still have 'book stuff' in on going heaps all over the place, but I know my new fabric is waiting for me when I finish!
FYI, it's a mix of Alexander Henry, Kaffe Fassett and Tammis Keefe from Micheal Miller.

Bulls guard Kirk Hinrich said his injured left calf is getting better, but it still prohibited him from practicing on Wednesday and left his status uncertain for Thursday's Game 6 against the Brooklyn Nets at the United Center.
In addition, Taj Gibson and Luol Deng stayed at home Wednesday with what coach Tom Thibodeau called "flu-like symptoms."
The Bulls hold a 3-2 lead over the Nets in the first-round series.

Canada.com has the first pictures of Kal-el Coppola Cage, Nicolas Cage's first baby with his wife Alice Kim. This is where I usually start making fun of Nicolas Cage for naming his son after Superman, but he actually managed to produce a cute baby so I'll let him off the hook. It's ironic that an imbecile who would name his child after a comic book character and looks like an ugly sack of potatoes could produce such a cute baby, while one of the world's biggest supermodels would give birth to an ugly mole creature. I'm becoming more and more convinced that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are going to give birth to the world's ugliest child, just because God is funny like that.
Kal-el Coppola Cage revealed
Come on. Give Seal and Heidi Klum's baby a break. Who wants to place odds that their baby will be far cuter than anything that drizzles out of Cage? Mixed people (black and white) are always ugly newborns, but typically turn out hot…I know this from experience — namely, looking in the mirror.
All newborns look like ugly mole creatures. The cuteness come a few months later.
Sorry but naming your kid after a comic book character is just moronic. Cage had a great run as an actor. He's a complete certified loon now.
OJ's kids certainly came out good. Except for the acting out part after he killed their mom.
That baby looks like Margaret Chow. I also believe that Brad Pitt and Jolie will have a baby that looks like that monster from the Goonies.
Thank goodness the little guy looks like his mommy.
I wonder if they dress him up in superman pajamas.
I subscribe to this site's RSS feed and when I saw the words "Kal-el Coppola Cage" on my homepage without the accompanying pic, I honestly had no idea what the fuck those words meant. Stupid stupid name.
Sorry, the baby reminds me of that Seinfeld episode…
Atleast he didn't name the child Bruce Wayne.
Because then I'd have to force myself to acknowledge Cage as a fuctioning human being.
Maybe he should have named the kid Ghostrider Coppola Cage…
That is a cute little baby. It's a cute little baby that we can all now anticipate by around eighteen years. What I mean is, we all know exactly where the little one will go on his eighteenth birthday — straight to the court house to change his name.
Well, at least they didn't name him Putme-Inna.
Cage is obviously not ready to be a father — not if he thinks naming a child is some fun comic book trivia game. Then again, he's just one more celebrity without real friends around him to tell him that every thought that comes out of his head isn't necessarily genius. Thus, babies named Apple and Kal-el, and Ziggurat Johosemump Gondwanaland Jolie-Pitt, or whatever the hell that ghastly name was.
By the way, I assume that the baby is cute because his mother, Cage's wife, is some smoking hot, top-shelf beauty. Which is Exhibit 563 for the proposition that Life Is Not Really Very Fair At All.
Quote "It's ironic that an imbecile who would name his child after a comic book character and looks like an ugly sack of potatoes could produce such a cute baby, while one of the world's biggest supermodels would give birth to an ugly mole creature."
Hahahahahahahahahaha I almost spit my protein shake on the screen. Thanks for the laugh.
Larry, you saved me the effort…I am definitely naming my next child Johosemump. Thanks. LOL
OMG! so cute…
his wife is so pretty too wow..
For some reason, naming his kid after a comic book character is not surprising at all. I mean, he named himself after one. (Marvel Comic's Luke Cage)
He's just a big nerd, who happens to be a movie star.
I've heard that the ugliest the baby is his first few weeks (or months), the prettiest he/she'll be when all grown up. But I don't know if that's true.
But I can't wait to see Angelina's baby either!!
What a sweet little face.
Donna A.
Seal and Heidi's baby will be adorable. All babies need time to get get unscrunched from being in the womb.
Damn, if that kid is as tall as/is taller than Nick, and gets all his looks from his mother's side… Hollywood with never let him out of its talons. Because we all know what happens to (attractive)Hollywood babies. They hit puberty and every other company is trying to get them to pose for their ad campaigns. Hopefully, he won't get his father's voice.. or his eyes.. or his receeding hair line. Or act like him. An asian Nicholas Cage would be more Cage I could stand.
i wonder if he named his son Kal-El just so people call him "Superdad" …
"Cute? How can a baby that looks like Mao Tse-tung be cute?"
MAO IS CUTE THOUGH! He looks like a plump little baby, like this picture of Kal-el.
Damn it, I've been saying jolie's and pitt's baby is going to be ugly for awhile :/ I'm suing. But yeah, Cage's baby is cute, until it starts going bald at the age of 13 like it's dad :p
This pic is like 3 days old and Canada.com was not the first to have it. At least ackowledge when you get your shit off other people's goosip blogs.
One more baby that will grow up, become addicted to crack, blame it on his parents, get herpes from Britney Spears' baby, blame it on the crack, get clean and write a freakin' book and go on Oprah.
Hardly anything to get excited about.
All asian babies look like Mao Tse Tung.
Just like all white babies look like Winston Churchill.
I love K-Fed's Corn Rolls – You know it's Corn ROWS, right? Not Corn ROLLS.
I like babies. I want to eat them. Mm nyam, munch, crunch. Burp.
All kids have weird names these days. It's every parent's duty to come up with something bizarre or doom their kids to freakdom.
My kids are called Noodle & Milkbug and they'll damn well like it! Bow to the Mom-Meister.
hahah that heidi klum mole baby thing made me laugh out loud. i think i need to get out more.
Not all white babies look like Winston Churchill… mine looked like Mel Brooks. Not a good look for a girl.
Isn't Kal-el, like, Superman or something?
Nope. Didn't know that. Seriously. I live in Utah and there arn't any black people here.
BTW: You know he has to be packin some serious man meat or something… Britney can't be THAT freakin' stupid…
all babies, when deep fried and thinly sliced, taste the same. heavenly.
Hmmmm. He has that Chairman Mao hat on… Maybe this is the start of the invasion? Perfect; Kanye West in his role as Jesus can order that all first born males in Hollywood be put to the sword, yeah, that's the ticket… then Heidi Klums husband, you know, the goalie for the dart team, can sing us a song about the brave new world and then…. *shrug* Who wants gum?
isn't Nick Cage's wife like, twelve or something?
To those who think that Heidi Klum's baby will get better looking in a month or two, I have two words for you:
Alexa Joel.
Of course Heidi Klum's baby is ugly. HELLO, look at Seal…
At least when he grows up he can go by Kal, and lie and say his name was Kallum or Kalvin or something…
Awwww, he's a cutie! I thought his dad was hot for a long time, until he got really weird. Or maybe he was always weird and was using some yellow-sun raygun on me…
just for the record, it doesn't matter that nicolas cage is balding. the gene is actually passed on through the female.
so if his wife's dad has a receeding hairline, THEN the kid's in trouble.

In 1999, Anton Burkett started growing organic produce with two good friends in New York's Finger Lakes region. In the beginning, they tried various ways of marketing their produce to see what would catch on in the local economy: farmers' markets, a little wholesaling, a stand at their Early Morning Farm, and then a CSA (community supported agriculture).
Burkett says that farmers' markets were the main focus back then, and CSA customers were an add-on. "I guess, over time, that's reversed itself," he says. "Now we do a CSA, and the farmers' market sales kind of supplement that a little bit. It enables us to sell a little bit of surplus, but our bread and butter has really become the CSA. That's what the evolution of the business has been."
At Early Morning Farm in Genoa, N.Y., they grow vegetables organically on 50 acres. Their produce stands always shine at the Ithaca Farmers' Market, which helps lure customers to the CSA. The Saturday market in Ithaca features up to 150 vendors and can have thousands of visitors in a single day.
Carrying their Early Morning Farm canvas bags with the bright red pepper image, CSA members can shop the produce at the Saturday market. Otherwise, most Early Morning member shares are boxed and delivered to locations all over central New York and now the southern tier, with 25 to 30 places to pick up "neighborhood shares." Just five years ago, they had 250 CSA members; this year Early Morning Farm is shooting to have 950 members.
Why a CSA instead of a farmstand? Burkett replies, "We like to take the food to where the people are, instead of having the people come to where the food is. Talk about transportation, if we had all those cars coming out to the farm every week, that's a lot of gas." The CSA delivery routes are efficient, according to Burkett, compared to the labor that farmers' markets require.
However, Early Morning isn't knocking farmers' markets. About 300 to 350 of the farm's CSA members pick up their shares at the Ithaca Farmers' Market and it's a great scene. Burkett says, "They're coming and not just picking up their veggies. They may buy some fruit from another vendor and some wine and lunch at one of the food vendors. They might buy a gift for somebody. There might even be something that wasn't in the share that week that they see at another produce vendor and they end up buying that too. It's a good deal for the farmers' market environment, and also for our business and the other businesses. A good place to be overall."
The Ithaca area now has many CSAs, but Burkett doesn't see competition as a bad thing. "A saturated market presents a lot of opportunities if you think about it," he says. "You have a highly educated market that knows about the product. So, if you are a competent grower, you can come into a saturated market and you have a ready-made public. You don't have to educate them about local foods. Everyone in Ithaca knows what a CSA is. There's a market that's there."
As strong as the Ithaca Farmers' Market is, it has only a fraction of the business enjoyed by the local Wegmans grocery store. Burkett points out, "Even in a saturated market, there's still a lot of room for growth."
Another advantage of a saturated market is cooperation with other growers, the shared knowledge and networking. Burkett says, "We're always constantly innovating, and we're all constantly trying new things. People call each other and we see each other in the winter and there's lots of camaraderie and friendships."
That happens on the farm with employees too. Early Morning Farm employs around 10 to 12 people through the season. Burkett is the owner and general manager. Chris Bickford, the farm manager, is in charge of crop production. Crew leaders Anna Jesionowski, Dylan Thomas and Caleb Schonfeld are the captains in the field, leading the farm workforce in planting, weeding and harvesting.
Burkett says, "We - me and the top three or four people working on the farm - we're all relying on each other pretty strongly to make this work. We try to make decisions together about planning the business in the future and going forward."
Warm-weather vegetables, like tomatoes, peppers and eggplants, are grown in seasonal high tunnels. They sacrifice production by using higher-value heirloom varieties. Burkett says, "We feel it's worth it, and the CSA type of market we're doing, that market really craves quality and unique tastes and flavors."
Their CSA season runs 23 weeks, beginning the second week of June and ending in mid-November. A large share costs $552, and a small share is $437. Early Morning Farm offers a five-payment option, as well as a short academic CSA season for the fall academic crowd, a smart idea in a college town like Ithaca.

ACLU discusses surveillance on border
Officials with the Vermont chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union say they are going to ask the Legislature to regulate surveillance of private citizens by state, local and federal law enforcement agencies.
Executive Director Allen Gilbert made the call Tuesday when his organization released a new report called "Surveillance on the Northern Border." The report outlines what the authors say is how expanding technology, from cell phones to unmanned aerial drones, is making surveillance easier.
Gilbert says Vermont is more at risk than people who live farther from an international border because federal law gives Homeland Security agencies the authority to operate more freely within 100 miles of the border.
He says much information is being collected and lawmakers need to determine how it should be used.

Who's up for a family-sized serving of gaturducken?!? History Channel is inviting us all over for Thanksgiving in the swamp in the form of "Swampsgiving," a holiday themed episode of Swamp People set to air Tuesday, November 26 at 10/9c. The special will give viewers a glimpse into the lives of the world's most famous gator hunters during the off-season as it explores the various Thanksgiving traditions celebrated by the cast members and their families. Keep reading for th full press release with all the degatortails!
Current Category: Jay Paul Molinere
Back on August 8, R.J. Molinere and son Jay Paul Molinere of Swamp People fame decided to offer a dude a cold one. The problem was that they did so by attacking the unidentified 24-year-old, striking him repeatedly with a beer bottle. See the booking photo for Jay Paul as well as the trouble the gator hunters could be facing.
On Swamp People, RJ is the Papa of the Molinere family, and Jay Paul is the son who makes his Daddy proud. But, Jay Paul is a daddy himself, and very recently he welcomed a new member to his young family: daughter A'niyah Nikole Molinere. Weighing 5 pounds 8 ounces, A'niyah was born July 29th and proud pop Jay Paul has been sharing numerous photos with fans online. Keep reading for lots of pictures of little A'niyah as well as the rest of the growing Molinere family!
The Season 3 premiere of Swamp People revealed that alligator prices sky rocketed in 2011, creating a gold rush of sorts in the swamps of Louisianna. Find out just how much the prices increased with our foot-by-foot alligator pricing chart, and see our estimates of what some of the stars will be binging in if they're able to fill all of their tags. Who knows, maybe all the thrills and the $$$ will have you thinking about buying a boat, some hooks, and a bunch of rotten chicken and trying your luck with a new summer job!
The fourth quarter of Superbowl XLVI may or may not go down in history for its great football, but it will live forever in the memories of everyone who has ever dreamed of riding in RJ and J Paul Molinere's airboat, having a cold beer with the Guist Brothers, or hearing Troy Landry yell "choot 'em" in their ear. Because this isn't just the year of Superbowl XLVI, this is Swamperbowl I! Here's the "This is Your Boss" video — our first glimpse of Swamp People Season 3.
This is what I like to call going "next level" reality show reporting. Folks out there can't seem to get enough of Swamp People and it almost always comes down to how darn genuine the cast members are and how real they come across. Well if you love you some Swamp People, especially the realism of it, then you're going to be singing, "laissez les bons temps rouler" when you see the following clip of father and son gator hunters RJ and Jay Paul Molinere on local HTV 10's "Bayou Time." Man I love me some RJ!
Alligators aren't the only scary things Swamp People's Jay Paul Molinere does battle with because when he's not in an air boat with pop RJ Molinere Jay Paul is in the boxing ring working on his people fighting skills! Keep reading to watch a video clip of Jay Paul training with his uncle during which he reveals why he started boxing at the age of six and how the skills he learns inside the ropes translate to "fishin' gators" in the swamps of Louisiana.
RJ and Jay Paul Molinere are the latest father and son addition to The History Channel's immensely popular reality series Swamp People, but they are anything but new to hunting alligators. They are members of the Native American Houma nation, which used to kill their alligator prey by pushing a long sharp stick down their mouths. These days RJ and Jay Paul use a rifle . . . and an airboat.
Read bios of both men, including a video clip of Jay Paul kicking butt in an Mixed Martial Arts bout and a link to RJ giving an arm wrestling tutorial. (Did I mention these two were tough?)

They got the call at a McDonald's Playland in October of last year. John Hurney ('92) and his wife Monica had promised their son Noah an ice cream cone after having his blood drawn.
As they awaited the test results, John had a bad feeling. Noah was a happy, friendly toddler, but persistent bruises on his legs had John worried.
Monica had taken Noah to the doctor's office for a regular exam including blood work in early September, and they left with an assurance that Noah was healthy. But after that visit, John noticed the bruises and asked Monica to bring him back to the doctor.
On the night before he was diagnosed, Noah's gums became bright red when Monica brushed his teeth. John and Monica returned to the doctor and pressed him to test Noah again. He reluctantly agreed.
They waited for his call in the McDonald's Playland, keeping an eye on Noah as he ran through the brightly colored plastic tubes with dozens of other children.
Imagining the worst diagnosis still could not have prepared John and Monica for that call. "I need you to listen carefully," said the doctor. "Your son has no platelets in his blood. You need to get to UCLA Children's Hospital immediately, where a team will be waiting for you."
Noah was diagnosed with ALL Leukemia with Central Nervous System involvement. In shock, the Hurneys rushed to UCLA, where Noah received a blood transfusion and spent ten days in the hospital receiving chemotherapy.
Upon hearing the diagnosis, the Pepperdine community reacted with an outpouring of support. Many staff and faculty members, including Stacy Taylor and Nancy McGinnis, visited the Hurneys in the hospital and even more gave blood in Noah's name. From alumni across the nation to the University Church of Christ on campus, many began praying for Noah and the Hurneys.
"Pepperdine has supported us so much through this," says John. "They have been more supportive than even our own families."
Two weeks after Noah was diagnosed, he went into full remission. He began a 36-month track of chemotherapy, which will decrease as he enters "maintenance" in November.
The three-year-old endures weekly hospital visits, bimonthly spinal taps, and multiple blood transfusions, but amazingly, he keeps it all in perspective. "I'm a brave boy when they give me my poke-y at the doctor's office," he says of his frequent injections. "I don't want to see those tears in Mommy's eyes."
Besides being brave, Noah keeps it lighthearted. After losing his hair a second time from the chemo, he announced to his mom and dad, "Now I can play hockey!" John and Monica laughed as they realized he was thinking about his cousin, a hockey player who shaves his head.
For Noah's treatment, the Hurneys chose to work with the comprehensive cancer center City of Hope because of its excellent staff and personal appeal. "From the moment you step in the door, everyone is so nice," says Monica. "You really feel like there is hope here."
After every blood transfusion, Noah's cheeks become rosy and he gains energy for the next day. During those times, John and Monica are thankful for both friends and strangers who give their blood.
"The blood is a gift from God," says John. "It's like a miracle," adds Monica. "I cannot imagine what we would do without donors. Every time he gets blood, I thank God for that person who gave it."
After a year of chemotherapy treatments once or twice a week, Noah's body seems to be responding well. Though he will undergo radiation treatments in January, the prognosis is positive. In the maintenance phase, he will decrease to chemo once a month and spinal taps every 45 days.
In the coming months, the Hurneys hope to spend more time outside of the hospital with their truck- and dinosaur-loving son. They look forward to being together, perhaps traveling to some of Noah's favorite spots: the beach, Pasadena's Kidspace Children's Museum, and Disneyland.
In honor of John, Monica, and Noah, the School of Law has partnered with City of Hope to host a blood drive on Tuesday, Oct. 16, and Wednesday, Oct. 17, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Gunderson Conference Room (SR1). Participation will automatically enter you into a drawing for two tickets to a Lakers or a Kings game to watch from a private suite at the Staples Center. Game tickets are sponsored by John's firm, Parker Mills Morin LLP.
To register for a time slot, email law alumni events. For additional information and donor requirements visit the School of Law website.
