RI marks 10th anniversary of deadly nightclub fireFebruary 20, 2013 @ 12:26 pm
WEST WARWICK, R.I. (AP) - Relatives and friends of the 100 people killed in a nightclub fire in Rhode Island are gathering at the site of the blaze on its 10th anniversary.
The Feb. 20, 2003, fire in West Warwick was started when pyrotechnics for the 1980s hard rock band Great White ignited flammable foam that had been installed as soundproofing.
Jessica Garvey planned to spend all day Wednesday at the site of The Station nightclub, where scores of handmade crosses dot the ground.
Garvey's sister Dina DeMaio was a waitress at the nightclub and perished in the fire. Wednesday would have been her 40th birthday.
A foundation working to build a permanent memorial at the site held a ceremonial groundbreaking Sunday. Work is expected to start this spring.

Havas UK revenues rise 12% to €52m
Havas has reported revenue of €389 million (£319 million) in the first quarter of 2014, representing organic growth of three per cent, after UK revenues increased by 11.7 per cent to €52 million (£43 million).
Yannick Bolloré: the chairman and chief executive of Havas
The Paris-based group said growth in the first quarter was helped by double-digit growth in the UK and stable performances in France, Germany and Italy. Growth in the rest of Europe was held back by Spain, the Netherlands and Switzerland, which it said are "struggling to bounce back from the recession".
Overall, revenue at Havas' European operations reported revenue of €203 million, (£167 million) a rise of 0.2 per cent year on year on a reported basis, but representing organic growth of 2.3 per cent.
The euro strengthened against the US dollar and several other South American currencies during the first quarter, which Havas said had a negative impact on revenue of approximately €12 million (£10 million)..
Revenue at the group's North American operations was €130 million (£107 million) in the quarter, flat year on year, but representing organic growth of 3.7 per cent, which Havas attributed to its recent client wins, including Green Mountain Keurig, Dish and Liberty Mutual.
The Asia Pacific area reported "satisfactory growth", Havas said, thanks to its businesses in Australia, China and the United Arab Emirates.
On a reported basis, Havas' revenues in Latin America declined by 15.2 per cent to €28 million (£23 million), although that represented organic growth of 1.8 per cent.
Havas said Latin America was "returning to growth", driven by Brazil, where it predicted that its recent win of the Pao de Açucar supermarket chain account would accelerate growth in the second quarter of 2014.
Argentina and Chile also contributed to growth in Latin America during the first quarter of 2014.
In addition to winning Pao de Açuca, Havas also won new business from Paypal in North America and Iglo in Europe.
Yannick Bolloré, the chairman and chief executive of Havas, said: "Growth was very satisfactory in the first quarter of 2014, driven by a solid recovery in North America, strong performances from our agencies in high-growth countries and stabilizing results in Europe, particularly in the United Kingdom and Germany."

Another bread recipe from my brother Rick – so pretty and perfect for Thanksgiving morning. Put some yogurt with some fruit or granola on the table, a plate of sliced pumpkin cranberry bread with a dish of cream cheese spread and you've got a light meal to get everyone started while you're getting things going in the kitchen.
1 cup pumpkin
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
2 large eggs
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 baking soda
3/4 tsp. cinnamon
3/4 tsp. ginger
1/8 tsp. cloves
1 cup cranberries
Preheat oven to 350 and butter a loaf pan. I like to line the bottom with piece of parchment paper that I cut to fit – just trace the pan and trim to insert. This makes it so easy to pop your bread out after baking!
In a large bowl beat together pumpkin, sugar, water, eggs and oil. Sift flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda and spices, stir until batter is smooth.
Stir in cranberries and spoon batter into loaf pan spreading evenly.
Bake break in middle of oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until tester comes out clean. Cool on rack 10 minutes before turning bread out.
Bread can be made 4 days ahead and chilled covered. Also can be made ahead and frozen.

Armenia is to make chess classes compulsory for children as young as six in a bid to become a chess superpower.
The country in the South Caucasus region plans to invest nearly US$1.5-million into teaching chess to primary schoolchildren. In addition to salaries, the investment will fund textbooks, manuals and boards, as well as proper tables and chairs to outfit the schools, the Armenian education ministry announced.
The ministry claims chess will "foster schoolchildren's intellectual development" and improve children's critical-thinking skills.
"It's a growing trend," according to Ted Winick, president of the Chess Institute of Canada, who also teaches chess to children in Toronto.
Mr. Winick believes North American schools should "absolutely" adopt Armenia's policy, citing various Soviet countries, as well as Cuba and Quebec, as examples of the game being successfully integrated into various public curriculum levels, though not as a mandatory class.
Armenia's decision was made just two months after Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan was re-elected as chair of the Armenian Chess Federation, a position he's held since 2002. Mr. Sargsyan is known for enthusiastically supporting Armenian chess players, who have won the country two gold medals at the biennial Chess Olympiad competition, in 2006 and 2008.
World Chess Federation ranks Armenia as the fourth-best chess-playing country in the world.
"If you walk into a village coffee shop in an Armenian town, you will see people are playing chess, not card games or other things," said Mig Migirdicyan, chairman of the Hayastan Foundation, a Toronto-based charity that builds schools in Armenia.
"This is very much in their brain."
Dr. Mark Sabbagh, a professor of developmental psychology at Queen's University and associate editor of the Developmental Psychology Journal, said chess could improve a child's "executive functioning" skills — things such as future planning and self-inhibition.
"Planning, thinking ahead, imagining the strategies of another person are things that, in other contexts, have been shown to be affected by experiences that kids have," he said.
"It's possible that chess could provide such an experience…. It goes together with someone who cannot always just act on impulse, but reflect."
But when it comes to adopting the game into a North American curriculum, Dr. Sabbagh said children on this side of the Atlantic have other ways of expanding their executive functioning. Becoming a chess superpower "wouldn't be really consistent with our socio-cultural goals," he said.

Give me books, give me browsers, give me PDFs, give me maps, give me a notebook. I look forward to the 9-10″ version, but this one just seems a little small, a sort of in-between device that may be good for reading novels but not formatted books like text books or magazines.
I've become quite a good typist on the iPad's keyboard and it supports all the ebooks I throw at it, so far, including those downloaded from public libraries with Adobe DRM. But I'd like to see some competition.

March 5 Tip SheetMarch 5, 2012
Story/Photo Idea
Art students are raising sustainability awareness by building 3-D sculptures entirely out of recyclables. The installations will be displayed March 5-9 throughout Davies Center. The project coincides with RecycleMania, a nationwide recycling contest. Forty-five students enrolled in a three-dimensional art course are working in groups of three on 15 installations.

Story Idea
When Gregory Kocken examined UW-Eau Claire's archived photograph collection last year, he found more than 2,000 photographic prints in folders and drawers. Kocken, head of Special Collections and Archives, now is organizing the collection and giving users easier access to the photos, many of which date back to university's earliest days. He is digitizing the images and creating Flickr sets based on the collection's themes. The galleries will be posted online, giving people the opportunity to view images that illustrate UW-Eau Claire's recorded history and culture. Special Collections and Archives, located on the fifth floor of McIntyre Library, serves nearly 1,000 university patrons and members of the public each year. For details, contact Gregory Kocken at firstname.lastname@example.com or 715-836-3873.

Campus Expert
Dr. Kim Pierson, professor of physics, will discuss a new, more efficient hybrid braking system at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 8, in the conference room of Towers Hall. Pierson will present "Harvesting electrical energy — a new braking system" as a part of Trash Talks, a lecture hosted by Housing and Residence Life's office of sustainability. Pierson will share information about sustainability issues, emphasizing regenerative braking technology and research into a more efficient system. Regenerative breaking systems use an electric generator to slow the vehicle and store the electrical energy in a battery so that it can be reused. A patent recently was issued to a company to use a new electrical energy storage system call a supercapacitor. The company claims the small SUV they are using could get 150 mpg. Pierson's research areas include renewable energy projects involving harvesting electrical energy from low-voltage sources and projects interfacing sensors with computers to reduce energy consumption in buildings. To discuss his research, contact Dr. Pierson at 715-836-5009 or email@example.com.

Town's police chief put on leave
A northern Iowa police chief has been placed on paid leave pending a city investigation.
The Riceville City Council took the action last week on Chief Kim Orth.
Mayor Dean Eastman won't discuss the reasons for the investigation because it is a personnel matter.
He says the Mitchell County and Howard County sheriff's departments will handle Riceville law enforcement coverage in the meantime.
A Riceville phone listed for a Kimberly Orth rang unanswered on Wednesday.

Won't rev over 8000rpm
Hello all. Im looking for some help please. My 2012 D675R will not rev past 8000. It's like it's hitting a rev limiter.
My bike went down the track recently but seemed to suffer only bodywork and control damage. It went down on it's left nose area and slid without hitting anything. I don't know if it ran on its side or if the tilt switch killed the engine right away. (I was not near it as the crash was just under 200 km/h and the bike and I didn't end up in the same place.) Chassis and engine seem totally untouched after the crash.
The bike is producing a small amount of blue smoke but I attribute that to a small amount of oil in the exhaust that will soon burn off.
Here's a run down of what I have checked:
I have had the tank off for repair. The fuel pump has been out and refitted as per the service manual. Its been pressure tested. It holds fuel with the bike hose disconnected so the o-ring seal is good.
I took the airbox cover off and cleaned out a tiny bit of engine oil sitting in the engine breather. The course foam in the breather had a tiny amount of oil on it. There was no oil around the filter or intake. Under the filter there was no debris. The engine oil was reading on the lower dip stick mark. I dropped the oil anyway and the right volume came out so its not hiding in the wrong part of the engine. New oil went back in.
Unrelated but...I've removed the left handlebar switch cluster. All wires removed from the connector except for the clutch switch which remains intact and connected via the original connector block.
I turned the bike over on the starter with no tank fitted to run a little to lube around a motor that had been standing for a few weeks on a trickle charger.
With the bike all back together I ran the bike for the first time with the tank propped up slightly to ensure there was no kink in the fuel hose. The bike fired up easily and idled normally. There was quite an amount of blue smoke initially. No bad noises. I turned the bike off after a short idle and let the heat build to burn off oil in the exhaust.
I fired it up again. Less blue smoke but still a small amount. I let the bike warm up fully. I gave it a few more revs and the bike sounds normal but there is still a haze of blue smoke. It doesn't sound like it's missing. I can see the flap in the air intake opening. The bike looked ok so I have it more revs a little at a time. It hits 8000 revs and will not rev past that limit.
There are no warning lights on the dash to give an indication of any issue. The tilt thingy is intact and looks normal. All plug caps have been pressed in to ensure they are seated correctly. Nothing moved.
The bike is running a TuneBoy map that was setup by Wayne (Mr. TuneBoy.) I swapped maps but the 8000 rev limit remains in all 3 maps.
I have used Goggle to check the forums for this issue but I didn't find anything similar.
The bike looks sweet. Nothing busted, loose, rattling etc. Do you have experience of this type of problem? Can you help me understand what else to check and how to fix it please. Next track time is next Friday.......Thanks in advance.

+1 on the clutch switch. If the bike thinks its pulled in nothing over 8,000 and the QS will not work. Check it by trying to start the bike in neutral without the clutch pulled in. If the bike starts, that's the prob.

Unfortunately it's not the clutch switch. I retained the clutch switch and it's operating as normal. The bike will not start unless the clutch is pulled in.
Any other ideas please?

When you refitted the airbox cover did your reconnect the rubber tube to the MAP sensor (I think that's what it's called) on the left rear side of the airbox. And connect the electrical connector?
Also there is another sensor the same as this mounted in front of the clocks on the fairing bracket. Is that OK after your crash?

All electrical connections under the tank are good and checked. Thanks for the suggestion but it's not that either. I expect that the very specific 8500 rpm limit is electronically managed. It's too consistent and specific to be anything else. The strange thing to me is the lack of a warning light. Do I need to connect an official test unit to read error codes? Is any fault condition consistent with the symptom I am seeing please?

Check fuel supply - particuarly that there is no kink in the fuel lead under the tank.
Recently had this issue in my R6 which was a present from my local toolbar dealer that serviced the bike

So when it hits 8500 does it bounce against that rpm limit like it's hitting the rev limiter or does it just stop and sit there and refuse to go higher?

Faster Than a Speeding Bullet
Butterflies flutter.
Bees don't.
Indeed, some bees seem to possess Superman's extraordinary power of "faster than a speeding bullet." They're just lacking a blue costume, a red cape and an "S" on their thorax.
The butterfly doing the fluttering in our garden is the Gulf Fritillary, Agraulis vanillae, a showy reddish-orange Lepitopderan that lays its eggs on our passionflower vine (Passiflora).
The bee doing the speeding-bullet routine is the male longhorned digger bee, Melissodes agilis. They are so territorial that they claim ALL members of the sunflower family in our garden: the blanket flowers (Gallardia), the Mexican sunflowers (Tithonia) and the purple coneflowers (Echinacea purpurea).
They relentlessly patrol the garden and dive-bomb assorted bumble bees, carpenter bees, honey bees, sweat bees, wasps, syrphid flies, butterflies and even stray leaves that land on "their" flowers. (Their eyesight is not as good as Superman's.)
Why? They're trying to save the pollen and nectar resources for the Melissodes agilis females. And trying to entice and engage the girls.
Last Sunday we watched a Gulf Frit touch down on the Tithonia. Just as it was gathering some nectar, a speeding bullet approached.
How fast?
If it were a horse, it would have been Secretariat.
If it were a track star, it would have been "Lightning Bolt" Usian St. Leo Bolt.
If it were a car, it would have been a Hennessey Venom GT.
If it were a plane, it would have been a Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird.
Swoosh! As the longhorned digger bee rifled by, the startled Gulf Frit shot straight up. Straight up.
Frankly, the Gulf Frit could have "leaped a tall building in a single bound."

That's One Beautiful Butterfly
First the lantana, and then the passion flower vine.
The Gulf Fritillary butterflies (Agraulis vanillae) flutter daily around our backyard. They stop for a little nectar from lantana (family Verbenaceae), and then head over to the passion flower vines (genus Passiflora) to breed or lay their eggs.
You can't miss them. The Gulf Frit is a showy, reddish-orange butterfly. Its underside absolutely sparkles in a spangled iridescent silver.
Butterfly expert Art Shapiro, professor of evolution and ecology at the University of California, Davis, and who maintains the website, Art's Butterfly World, says the Gulf Frit was introduced into southern California in the 19th century and first recorded in the Bay Area "before 1908."
It was once prevalent in the Sacramento area in the 1960s, but seemed to have died out by the early 1970s.
Then in 2009, it began making a comeback in the Sacramento area.
It's definitely making a comeback. A beautiful comeback.

The Wearing of the Orange
It was a perfect St. Patrick's Day--not just for the wearing of the green, but for the wearing of the orange.
The Gulf Fritillary butterfly (Agraulis vanillae) arrived in our yard Sunday afternoon, March 16 and deposited an egg, just like E. Bunny will do soon.
The Gulf Frit's host plant is the Passiflora or passion flower vine. Last winter Jack Frost nipped at the leaves and nearly killed one of our two plants but they're both springing back.
The butterfly first touched down on an Amaryllis (Amaryllis belladonna) before she located the two passion flower vines. Her battle-scarred wings related the story of a close encounter with a bird or other predator.
Once quite common in the Sacramento area in the 1950s and 1960s, the Gulf Fritillary vanished for about 40 years and is now making a comeback. It's a brightly colored orange butterfly with black markings and silvery spangled hindwings.
It's good to see it again!

Love Those Gulf Frits
If you're passionate about Passiflora (passion flower vine), you're probably passionate about those Gulf Fritillary butterflies (Agraulis vanillae).
It's November with temperatures in the unseasonal mid-80s, and the butterflies are laying eggs like there's no tomorrow.
From eggs to larvae to chrysalises to adults--what a sight to see.
We watched a caterpillar munch leaves as an ant scooted down to investigate. Then a magnificent adult, its wings fresh and showing no visible signs of predatory bites, fluttered down right in front of us.
Butterfly expert Art Shapiro, distinguished professor of evolution and ecology at the University of California, Davis, calls these butterflies a "dazzling bit of the New World Tropics."
Indeed they are. Orange never looked so good.

The Amazing Gulf Fritillary
The showy reddish-orange butterfly (Agraulis vanillae) is making a comeback in the Sacramento-Davis area. In the early 1970s, it was considered extinct in that area.
"It first appeared in the vicinity of San Diego in the 1870s," says noted butterfly expert Art Shapiro, distinguished professor of evolution and ecology at the University of California, Davis, and a member of the UC Davis Center for Population Biology. "It spread through Southern California in urban settings and was first recorded in the Bay Area about 1908. It became a persistent breeding resident in the East and South Bay in the 1950s and has been there since."
Shapiro says it "apparently bred in the Sacramento area and possibly in Davis in the 1960s, becoming extinct in the early 1970s, then recolonizing again throughout the area since 2000."
Shapiro describes the Gulf Fritillary as "one of the most widespread weedy butterflies in the Americas." However, he points out, it has no "native host plant in California."
Those who want to attract the Gulf Frit can do so by planting its host plant, passion flower vine (tropical genus Passiflora). The butterflies lay their eggs on the plant and voila! Leaf-munching caterpillars. Shapiro points out that the Gulf Frit caterpillars "will not eat all of the Passiflora in cultivation in California." They can be particular.
One of the Gulf Frit's favorite nectar sources is lantana (genus Lantana, family Verbenaceae.)
The Gulf Frit "has no diapause and is subject to killing out by hard freezes; in my experience, 22F is completely lethal to all stages," Shapiro says. "It has been bred for release at weddings, garden parties and the like, but there is no direct evidence linking its return in this region to such activities. If gardeners find it a pest on their Passifloras it is easily controlled by hand-picking or BT (Dipel), but it seems, to judge by my email, that most people are thrilled and delighted to have it in the garden."
Shapiro and two co-authors recently published a paper in the Journal of Biogeography (J. Biogeog.39: 382-396, 2012) on the pylogeography (geography of molecular-genetic variation) of widespread Western Hemisphere human-associated butterflies. The reearch is the work of Erik Runquist, UC Davs Department of Evolution and Ecology; Matthew Forister of the Department of Biology, University of Nevada; and Shapiro.
"We had suspected the Gulf Frit might be introduced in the United States but the genetics show not only that it is not, but that it is apparently two species--one entirely South American and one North American--but we have made no move to name anything!"
It's interesting that another host specialist butterfly, Cacyreus marshallili, a native of South Africa, is becoming a pest of garden geraniums (Pelargonium) in Europe, where "there are no native Pelargoniums," Shapiro says. "The butterfly (known as the Geranium Bronze) is becoming a real threat to the tradition of having geraniums in window boxes. Some European butterfly folks like its presence--unless they grow geraniums."

By the end of the 17th century and into the 18th century, roughly 500,000 Huguenots had fled France during a series of religious persecutions. They relocated to Protestant nations, such as England, Scotland, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, the Dutch Republic, the Electorate of Brandenburg, Electorate of the Palatinate, and the Duchy of Prussia, and also to the Dutch Cape Colony in present-day South Africa and the English 13 colonies of North America.

If you added a couple of eggs and a bit of butter and heated well it in

text: 14 August 2013 Another Record-Breaking Year for Cape Hatteras Sea Turtles Posted by: Haley McKey | 10 comments | Share: Haley McKey, Communications Associate After successfully battling yet another attack on Cape Hatteras National Seashore's off-road vehicle rules in June, it was exciting to see what the summer would bring. Would the sea turtles that depend on the park's beaches repeat last year's success? Well, they didn't just meet last summer's record of 222 nests: they broke it! As of August 12th, the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission has counted 232 nests at Cape Hatteras, beating the 2012 count by ten nests! There may be even more in the coming weeks before the season ends in September. And this is a huge improvement on the 2011 count of 147 nests just one year before the new rules were put in place. This is fabulous news for sea turtles, which are struggling to survive and thrive in spite of predation and human impacts. All of the five sea turtle species found at Cape Hatteras are endangered or threatened, which include leatherback, loggerhead, hawksbill, Kemp's Ridley and green sea turtles. Newborn sea turtles face a long and perilous journey. From the moment they hatch, they're threatened by sea birds, crabs and other shore predators. If they make it safely to the ocean, they're still prey to fish and other marine wildlife. They're also in danger from human refuse: sea turtles may mistakenly consume garbage bags or other trash, confusing them for prey such as jellyfish. Combined with the dangers of entanglement with commercial fishing nets, boat collisions and even oil spills, it's easy to see why scientists estimate that only about one percent of sea turtle hatchlings survive to reproductive maturity. It also means the success of every sea turtle nest matters. It wasn't until last summer that the National Park Service finally enforced rules managing off-road vehicle, or ORV, use on the beach at Cape Hatteras. This made the shore safer for mother sea turtles and their precious nests, and it showed: the 222 nests laid at the national seashore were an extremely positive sign that the rules were making a difference. This summer's banner crop of nests and turtles helps reinforce that early success. This is great news, but it's important not to forget that ORV enthusiasts and other groups at Cape Hatteras have been fighting against any kind of safeguards for pedestrians and wildlife for years. The attack in June was only the latest attempt at weakening or doing away with them altogether. For decades before Defenders of Wildlife and other conservation groups turned to the courts for help getting the NPS to implement these rules, the park's beaches were overrun with vehicles. But as long as groups challenge the protection of sea turtles at Cape Hatteras, Defenders will be there to fight for them. These amazing and ancient creatures deserve a great chance at survival. At Cape Hatteras, they've gotten just that. 10 Responses to "Another Record-Breaking Year for Cape Hatteras Sea Turtles" ChyerlYoutz August 14th, 2013 Great year, Which has absolutely nothing to do with the beaches being closed to ORV's. it has always been due to weather, tides, hurricanes can wipe out a whole years worth of nests hatching in just one storm. Contrary to what you try to shove down the publics throat, visitors and locals alike love sea turtles and love to help sea turtles. Thank god, I know this for a fact, and I'm not a stupid person falling for that propaganda! I wish every person who loves turtles would research the facts before donating and signing your petitions! Sincerely, please people, check your scientific, factual research, please! Reply charlie August 24th, 2013 The Outer Banks has been spared from crazy storms so far this year. If next years nests are destroyed by storms how will DofW explain that reality. Good research will show that ChyerlYoutz is correct. Bankers protect our resources…Check out N.E.S.T. a volunteer program which puts feet on the sand to protect turtles in a responsible, proactive, educational and caring way. summerclose August 18th, 2013 I know that the NO Vehicle laws and strict restrictions against any pets, lights, and other disturbances on nesting beaches in South Carolina have been phenomenal. Everyone loves the dolphins and sea turtles (we hope) and enforcing the laws has been vital!! Thank you for all the work & awareness provided!! The animals sure cannot speak up for themselves!!…. Reply Lisa August 23rd, 2013 I am so grateful for all of your efforts to save these and other beloved creatures who have their home on this planet. I just do not understand why you have to fight so hard to ban off road vehicles- I mean are people really that ignorant- I guess so- I mean who needs to have an off road vehicle that bad on a beach where the little ones lay their eggs. There are plenty of other places to drive a vehicle like on the road. Reply La Marca Monique August 24th, 2013 Turtles must be protected. Reply Carol October 1st, 2013 As someone who had to move due to the economic crash that took place on the Outer Banks, I can promise you that the weather and tides saved the turtles. Not one ORV enthusiast that I ever knew did anything but help the wildlife. Show me data, not just statements presented as facts. You KNOW in order for this to be science instead of propaganda, it must be published, submitted to peer review, and validated. Amazing how that small fact that even my third graders are taught are forgotten by the masses. You have too many uncontrolled variables to state that it is due to ORV use. Would you like my elementary school students to explain the scientific process? Reply kameHouse October 16th, 2013 It already exists many reports and datas made by biologists and people who care. It's not propaganda, people just have to make its own researches, there are a lot of informations on internet. It's easy to make your own point of view. People who are finding for endangered species and biodiversity in large way have other things to do, whereas convincing people or giving proofs. If you need facts, just be logical, a bird (or turtle) vs an ORV? it's easy to imagine who can be more prejuidicable for the other. we cant fight against hurricanes and storms but if we notice an increase of the number of storms, I dont think its birds or turtle's fault but all our behaviour with GES and stuff. So, we have to be responsible and if we dont want to spend time protecting species, we can just let people do their job and do their best to make in order that in few years I (and you, or children) still could observed piping or turtle on the seashore. We cant really know all the variables but we cant wait to know exactly the impacts because it would be too late. When the specie is gone, its done! And as Lisa said, it exists road for vehicle, and beaches for birds and having fun. that's it! Reply Avongcjr December 12th, 2013 What about the turtles that wash up in the sound that are cold stunned or killed from the cold weather there are large numbers here far more then what is reported? Reply Mark December 15th, 2013 I see the ORV criminals have to put in their comments to save face for their obvious guilt. How about driving your ORV around your living rooms and..hopefully trashing your undeserved house and destroying your foul machines in the process? That would save a lot of wildlife.. talk about selfish greedy vultures Reply Post Your Comment Click here to cancel reply.

Pelavin: We discussed the special challenges of this time in history, and the great potential possible when our two communities work together.
WASHINGTON, June 9, 2005 – This morning, Mark J. Pelavin, Director of the Commission on Interreligious Affairs of Reform Judaism, met at the Vatican with Pope Benedict XVI as part of a delegation of Jewish leaders organized by the International Jewish Committee on Interreligious Consultation. Mr. Pelavin's statement follows:
It was a special honor to be welcomed to the Vatican this morning by His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI. In today's meeting with leadership of the International Jewish Committee on Interreligous Consultation, the Pope's first formal exchange with the Jewish community since becoming Pope, his personal warmth and profound commitment to dialogue between our communities were unmistakable.
The importance of today's meeting is clear, and, I am confident, will be long-lasting. Citing the work of his post-Vatican II predecessors, Pope Paul VI and "in a particular way, Pope John Paul II," in "improving relations with the Jewish people," Pope Benedict firmly told us, "it is my intention to continue on this path."
It is significant, as well, that the meeting today took place so early in Benedict XVI's tenure. As he told us this morning, "At the very beginning of my Pontificate, I wish to assure you that the Church remains firmly committed, in her catechesis and in every aspect of her life, to implementing [the teaching of Vatican II and Nostra Aetate]."
I was honored, on behalf of the Reform Jewish Movement, to offer our support and prayers to the Holy Father as he begins his Pontificate. In the few moments that we had to speak directly, we discussed the special challenges of this time in history, and the great potential possible when our two communities work together.
The Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism is the Washington office of the Union for Reform Judaism, whose more than 900 congregations across North America encompass 1.5 million Reform Jews, and the Central Conference of American Rabbis, whose membership includes more than 1800 Reform rabbis.

Follow us:
U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara isn't keeping summer hours; if you blink in New York, you'll probably miss some public official getting indicted.
It happened to me – I took last Friday off and an Assemblywoman I never heard of resigned after admitting to being in a bogus marriage to get immigration papers.
Luckily, I was around yesterday when State Senator Tom Libous was charged with lying to the FBI about an investigation of his son who got a job in a politically-connected law firm.
It feels that almost on a daily basis, NY1's crack political team is either covering public officials getting hit with corruption charges – or at their trial.
Like a reform-minded Santa Claus keeping track of who's being naughty, the good-government group Citizens Union maintains a meticulous list of Albany lawmakers who've gone astray, noting that 26 state legislators have resigned because of ethical or criminal issues – and that three sitting State Senators – including Libous – are under indictment.
Citizens Union's Dick Dadey notes that "legislators are more likely to leave office due to ethical or criminal issues than to die in office, or be redistricted out of their seats." This is hardly a new problem with our lawmakers. While Mayor de Blasio likes to remind us that New York is the progressive capital of the world, it's also the place where Boss Tweed turned graft into a work of art and two mayors -- Jimmy Walker and William O'Dwyer – quit before they could be indicted. Reformers like Dadey believe that campaign finance reform could help while others are pushing term limits for state officials – or pay raises in the belief that better people will run for office if the salary is higher and the temptation to steal is lower.
It's not clear to me what would work; politics is inhabited by alpha-dogs who wake up every morning thinking they should run the world. Bellevue and Rikers are filled with people who embrace that kind of mindset.
Enforcement might be the only real solution. Have ambitious prosecutors like Bharara patrol the ambitious politicians. And the governor's decision to decommission his ethics commission looks more foolish than ever.
In the meantime, remember that New York is still leading the way at something and hope for some crazed border collies to keep guarding the Empre State's sheep.

HOUSTON -- ZaZa Energy Corp. announced that it recently received initial approval from the French government regarding the terms of ZaZa's transaction with Hess Corp., announced June 11, 2012. This initial approval enabled the Parties to complete the termination of their 2010 agreements on October 1, 2012. As part of the transaction, ZaZa's working interest in the Parties' Paris Basin exploration licenses has now been converted into a 5% overriding royalty interest capped at $130 million.
Todd A. Brooks, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are pleased to receive initial approval from the French government for the transaction, which provides ZaZa with attractive royalty rights to a resource play with significant potential. The Company has made significant strides in narrowing our exploration focus to our prolific Eagle Ford and Eaglebine assets in Southern Texas and we look forward to creating value for shareholders."
