Stabilization pond
Stabilization pond technology - sometimes also called facultative pond technology - is a natural method for wastewater treatment.
Stabilization ponds [1]consist of shallow man-made basins comprising a single or several series of anaerobic, facultative or maturation ponds. The primary treatment takes place in the anaerobic pond, which is mainly designed for removing suspended solids, and some of the soluble element of organic matter (BOD). During the secondary stage in the facultative pond most of the remaining BOD is removed through the coordinated activity of algae and heterotrophic bacteria. The main function of the tertiary treatment in the maturation pond is the removal of pathogens and nutrients (especially nitrogen).
Application and suitability[edit]
Stabilization ponds are particularly well suited for tropical and subtropical countries because the intensity of the sunlight and temperature are key factors for the efficiency of the removal processes. [2] It is also recommended by the WHO for the treatment of wastewater for reuse in agriculture and aquaculture, especially because of its effectiveness in removing nematodes (worms) and helminth eggs.[3]
Stabilization ponds, as described here, use no aerators. High-performance lagoon technology with aerators has much more in common with that of activated sludge. Such aerated lagoons are common in small towns in the United States, among other places.[4]
Cost considerations[edit]
According to the IRC International Water and Sanitation Centre, stabilization pond technology is the most cost-effective wastewater treatment technology for the removal of pathogenic micro-organisms.[5] A World Bank study carried out in Sana'a, Yemen, in 1983 makes a detailed economic comparison of waste stabilization ponds, aerated lagoons, oxidation ditches and trickling filters. According to this study, stabilization pond technology is a cheaper option up to a land cost of US$ 7.8/m2. Above this cost, oxidation ditches become the cheapest option. [6] However, often the main constraint against selecting this technology is not land cost but land availability. If land is available, stabilization ponds have the advantage of very low operating costs since they use no energy compared to other wastewater treatment technologies.
Stabilization ponds are used for municipal waste water treatment in many countries with ample sunshine, including Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Israel, Jordan, Morocco, Nicaragua, Tunisia and Uganda.[7] They are typically used in smaller towns where land availability and cost is less of a constraint. In some cities larger stabilization ponds have been replaced in the early 2000s by activated sludge waste water treatment plants, such as in Amman (Jordan) and in Adelaide (Australia) in 2004.[8]
Removal of pathogens[edit]
A study of ten stabilization ponds in Honduras has shown that they were effective in removing helminth eggs, a pathogen, from the effluent and to satisfy the World Health Organization microbiological guidelines for Category B irrigation with wastewater effluent. However, sludge from all ponds was heavily contaminated with helminth eggs.[9]

Wycliffe (WYC) | New International Version (NIV) |
13 When thou shalt cry, thy gathered treasures deliver thee; and the wind shall take away all them, a blast shall do away them; but he that hath trust on me, shall inherit the land, and shall have in possession mine holy hill. (When thou shalt cry for help, let thy gathered treasures rescue thee; but the wind shall take them all away, yea, a puff of wind shall take them all away; but he who hath trust in me, shall inherit the land, and shall possess my holy hill.) | 13 When you cry out for help, let your collection [of idols] save you! The wind will carry all of them off, a mere breath will blow them away. But the man who makes me his refuge will inherit the land and possess my holy mountain." |

This will give your phone all the cool stuff of iOS 6.0.1 and keep the unlocked software on your iPhone. If you update to 6.1 all the jailbreak software will be erased from you iPhone including proCoSOFT.

Scandinavian Airlines' Swedish division has formally notified authorities that it might be forced to lay of up to 230 pilots and cabin crew following SAS Group's decision to ground the Bombardier Q400 fleet.
There is no indication yet, however, about possible effects in the carrier's Danish division.
SAS Group opted to withdraw the Q400 fleet last month after Scandinavian Airlines suffered a spate of gear-related landing accidents.
A spokeswoman for SAS says that the Swedish division must, under Swedish law, put forward an estimate of possible job losses. But she stresses that no-one has been laid off and adds: "We'll do everything we can to work out solutions for everybody."
Since the grounding the company has been leasing aircraft both from carriers within SAS Group and other Scandinavian operators such as Transwede, Cimber Air, City Airline, Skyways and Atlantic Airways.
SAS Group has been given special authorisation to lease aircraft until 1 December and expects to be permitted to prolong this period if necessary. The company is intending to enter longer-term leases to help redress its capacity shortage.

SHELBY When Shelby native Eddie Dodson died 11 years ago in California, his Hollywood hipster days had ended, but the FBI still ranked him as the most prolific bank robber of all time.
His crimes on the West Coast embarrassed many in his hometown, and few people came to the funeral.
Finding the grave today in Sunset Cemetery can be a challenge because erosion sometimes covers the flat stone with mud.
But Dodsons name will be back in the public eye soon with the debut of Electric Slide, a movie based on his remarkable and often dark life.
British actor Jim Sturgess plays Dodson, and the story is set in Los Angeles, where Dodson ran a stylish Art Deco furniture store, partied with rich and famous celebrities such as actor John Belushi and became addicted to cocaine and heroin.
To support the habit, Dodson started robbing banks in 1983 six in one day, 64 banks in seven months. Known as the Yankee Bandit because of the New York Yankees ball cap he wore, Dodson always dressed well, charmed female bank tellers and never resorted to violence. He carried a blank pistol in a Gucci bag.
After serving two prison terms, the 54-year-old Dodson died Feb. 21, 2003, at UCLA Medical Center of liver failure related to hepatitis C, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Produced by Santa Monica-based Myriad Pictures, Electric Slide is described on the companys website as a story about Dodson and his girlfriend, played by Australian actress Isabell Lucas, going on a bank-robbing crime spree to pay off his debts, dodging loan sharks and police.
The film premiers at the Tribeca Film Festival that opens Wednesday in New York City.
On his website, Sturgess called Dodson a fascinating character. Sturgess also said the director, Tristan Patterson, was very clear that this was a movie about Eddie ... not a documentary or a biopic, but an all out movie that in a way celebrates the life and times of Eddie Dodson. A colorful celebration rather than the gritty, more harsh reality.
Two of Dodsons cousins are concerned the movie will present a fictionalized version of his life instead of sticking to the facts, bad as they are.
If its a Bonnie and Clyde story, its not true, said Janice Wilson, 73, of Blacksburg, S.C. There was no woman involved. If they use Eddies real name, they should get their facts straight. But it is what it is, and theres nothing we can do.
Describing Dodson as a kind and charismatic person brought down by drugs, Wilson said, Its sad his life was that way. He did it to himself. But I still loved him. He was family.
Electric Slide is based on a Gear magazine article, The Rise and Fall of the Yankee Bandit, by Dodsons friend Timothy Ford, and the script was written by Patterson.
Ford, who attended Dodsons funeral, died in 2007.
A great actor
Word about Electric Slide has circulated among those who knew Dodson, a 1967 Shelby High School graduate.
Mal Brutko, who met Dodson in the fourth or fifth grade, remembers him as a normal, everyday person when we were growing up.
He was a happy-go-lucky type of guy, said Brutko, who lives in Kings Mountain. I had no contact with him after high school. It was a shock to find out everything.
Dodsons cousin, Margie Bass, 79, of Statesville, said he was only 2 months old when his father died of a heart attack. The youngster was raised by his mother, Bernice, and his grandmother.
Bernice Dodson never owned a car and walked to jobs at Shelby Cafe and Lily Mill.
Eddie was the light of her life, Bass said. He was a typical teen, and he was raised in a Christian atmosphere.
Charles Guy was 13 when he and Dodson became close friends.
At 13, we didnt know it, but we had a mutual desire not to be defined by a small, conservative, Southern town, said Guy, a musician in Ashland, Ore.
Dodson was a sharp dresser and needed to keep abreast of his peers, Guy said. Weejuns, Madras shirts, khakis and Canoe cologne being the required dress.
When the Beatles hit the U.S., Guy said Dodson fantasized about being an English rocker.
He didnt have any particular musical talent, Guy said. But he could play the part, which he did exceptionally well. He had a great eye for detail and would probably have been a great actor.
The two friends shared an apartment in Charlotte.
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, we were a couple of Charlottes few hippies, Guy recalled. We were very much a part of the anti-establishment movements ... of course, there were recreational drugs and dealings with such things.
One day, Guy said, Dodson announced he had to get out of town because the police were after him.
Soon we had my old hippie bus, held together by rust, loaded, and we were off to California, a place we had often talked of going, he said.
They ended up in Hollywood. Before long, Dodson was going into a lifestyle I did not feel a part of, Guy said. Everything was magnified: more drugs, more small-time theft and a dose of glitz. Soon I felt I had to leave.
In time, his friend would spin out of control.
I know he never really wanted to hurt anyone, Guy said. He just wanted what he wanted. He was an artist but without a particular medium; his life became the art of the outrageous, the theater of the absurd.
Hobnobbing with stars
William Rehder, a retired FBI agent, knew Dodsons artistry firsthand.
As head of the FBIs bank robbery squad in Los Angeles, Rehder helped catch Dodson twice in 1984 and 1999.
After Rehder retired, he co-authored the book Where the Money Is: True Tales from the Bank Robbery Capital of the World. During research, he had long phone conversations with Dodson when he was in prison, and theres a chapter on the Yankee Bandit in the book.
According to Rehder, Dodsons pricey furniture store on Melrose Avenue catered to the cream of Hollywood celebrities and did a booming business. As Dodson hobnobbed with such stars as Jack Nicholson, he also went out on the town with beautiful women.
Eddie was living the life, Rehder said. He was on top of the world.
But drugs were part of his lifestyle, and Dodson graduated from cocaine to a $1,000-a-day heroin habit. By 1983, he was broke and started robbing banks.
Bank tellers thought he was quite attractive, said Rehder, who was a technical consultant on the Steven Spielberg movie Catch Me If You Can. Women were drawn to him. And he was polite. Hed always say thank you.
The Yankee Bandit sped away from banks in a restored 1965 black Lincoln.
Rehder said Dodson always worked alone there was no girlfriend involved.
How did the bandit manage to elude authorities?
Sheer luck, said Rehder.
Dodsons luck ran out in 1984 after he had robbed 64 banks and more than $280,000. A bank teller followed him after a robbery and called police.
Troubled soul
Rehder said Dodson served 10 years in prison, got out, worked as a caretaker at Jack Nicholsons Malibu home, and stayed clean for about four years. Then he relapsed into drugs and robbed eight banks before his arrest in 1999. Sentenced to 48 months in prison, he served three years and was released early because of poor health.
When Dodson died, Rehder spoke at a memorial service as the Yankee Bandit had requested.
He was a very charming guy, the ultimate gentleman bandit, Rehder said. Eddie was the life of the party wherever he went.
Janice Wilson recently visited her cousins grave beside his mother and grandparents. In the solitude of the Shelby cemetery, she remembered him as a troubled soul but a wonderful soul.
And she knew what he would think about the new movie. Whether fact or fiction, the story was about Edwin Chambers Dodson, who saw himself as the worlds greatest bank robber.
Hed love it, Wilson said.

Airliner shootdowns ought to be technically impossible
Using missile to shoot down an airliner ought to be made impossible. It may be a lack of imagination on my part, but I can't think of a circumstance where a military force needs the ability to shoot down civilian aircraft. There aren't a lot of manufacturers of surface-to-air missile systems, regardless of their level of sophistication and range – shoulder launched or vehicle-mounted – so changing those designs to prevent civilian shootdowns ought not be a big deal. Admittedly there are many more means of bringing down aircraft beyond SAMs, but not a lot of them have the reach to bring down cruising airliners.
Civilian airliners have carried IFF transponders since World War II, so there's the infrastructure in place already for the identification of non-military aircraft. Furthermore, it's a violation of Article 37 1.c of the Geneva Conventions to pretend you're a civilian – that is, it's a war crime with all the international condemnation that goes with that, so it's reasonable to make weapons that refuse to down aircraft that identify themselves as civilian.
So, why is this still happening?
Innocent civillians

I've got a Medion MD 86162 Media Player (AKA e85015, or MD86162) and I couldn't find the remote codes anywhere on the Internet. I cobbled up some hardware and discovered that it uses the NEC protocol when I coaxed these codes out of my dying infrared remote control, and I got the following IR codes for it:
Retroactive HECS fees
I think it's about time we introduced HECS fees for all those people who obtained degrees without contributing to the cost of those degrees.
The argument is that educating tertiary students costs the taxpayer money, and what's in it for the taxpayers – why ought they fund some snotty kid's education? By the same argument, those who got those free educations between 1974 and 1989 ought to cough up and return the same portion of the cost of that education back to the people of Australia.
Winter 2014 starts
So I'm trying to declare Winter. I'm going to try something like Summer, but with a 16 degree ceiling, which we just hit here in Melbourne.
Monday 16 June Max 16 Rain at times, easing. Tuesday 17 June Min 10 Max 16 Partly cloudy. Wednesday 18 June Min 8 Max 16 Mostly cloudy. Thursday 19 June Min 8 Max 16 Partly cloudy. Friday 20 June Min 10 Max 15 Shower or two developing. Saturday 21 June Min 9 Max 15 Morning shower or two. Sunday 22 June Min 9 Max 16 Partly cloudy.
I also offer the observation that you know it's Winter when it doesn't feel cold anymore.
Note: The 15 degree ceiling was hit on Friday 4 July 2014, 14 degree on Wednesday 9 July..
Disable PayPass or PayWave RFID with a light globe, a pen and a drill bit
I got a new credit card in the mail, and I noticed the PayPass logo in the top right corner. I'm no fan of RFID, especially with so many documented weaknesses. Also troubling is the loss of two-factor authentification that we've had for decades in Australia; both Visa and Mastercard require only the presence of the card for EMV transactions under $100. I like my credit card, I don't like that other people can spend my money with it. I thought about trying to convince my bank to give me one that wasn't PayPass enabled, but Mastercard won't issue cards without PayPass, so it seems I need to make my new credit card compliant with my privacy and security policies.
Admittedly, all the exploits for RFID enabled cards seem to affect cards in the USA, whose banking system (as best I can tell) is run by a bunch of morons. I assume that the cards in Australia leak no information other than an identifying card number… but even that. RFID can allow unintended transactions, so I'd prefer my transactions to be intentional. I considered killing the whole chip in the microwave, but there's a risk that would affect the mag-stripe. You don't need a radiographer to lend you an xray machine to locate the RFID antenna. Turns out that a light globe is plenty bright enough to spot the antenna tracks, or the sun (if you can spot it at this time of year).
I lay my card on a horizontal compact fluorescent light globe, and look what I could see:
I dutifully marked the point where the antenna traces all converged on the one location, then drilled that point out with a hole made with a 3mm drill bit. I took it off to my local Kmart, and it worked. However, it failed at the Coles, and every subsequent retailer (dozens) I've tried using it. Apart from that one Kmart (others haven't worked) the PayPass functionality is now turned off.
I'll update here if I make additional modifications that are successful.
Test Driven Bug-cases
What if every bug report, valid or invalid, required a test case, per Test Driven Development?
Summer 2014 ends
Four days before the start of Winter, I've declared the end (our second) Summer:
Wednesday 28 May Max 18 Shower or two. Thursday 29 May Min 10 Max 19 Partly cloudy. Friday 30 May Min 10 Max 19 Partly cloudy. Saturday 31 May Min 10 Max 19 A little rain developing. Sunday 1 June Min 10 Max 17 A few showers. Monday 2 June Min 12 Max 17 Shower or two. Tuesday 3 June Min 10 Max 18 Morning shower or two.
Tap and Go causes crime: duh
Ken Lay says that in the last year in Victoria, 11500 extra crimes caused by Tap and Go cards have meant that the crime rate in Victoria has gone up (5%) rather than down. These additional "crimes of deception" and are apparently tying up police.
It's slack. Totally slack. There's no control over it. And what are we finding? There's been a huge spike in different offences committed to facilitate it; cars being broken into, mail stolen, handbags grabbed, purely because of industry introducing a new practice without any regard to security.
We have taken the view we should be taking on industry over this because our concern is they've introduced new practices with no regard to the implications on security and there's no prevention measures, which is at times bogging down our members in work and time that could be better spent on some really serious type of investigations or responding to critical issues.
And the ABA says "no ways!" and says that dollar value of fraud is down since chip-in-card (neglecting that this isn't about that) but allowing that losses following theft are up 35% (to only $20m/year). And ignores all the crime that would be associated with obtaining the cards.

Summer movie preview: Karen Gillan takes villainous turn in 'Guardians of the Galaxy'
'Guardians of the Galaxy'
It's fun to be bad, Karen Gillan says.
"You get to just really indulge in that evil side," Gillan told an audience last week at Salt Lake Comic Con's FanX. "You don't have to worry about finding redeeming qualities in your character."
Gillan, best known for her role as the fiery companion Amy Pond on the BBC science-fiction series "Doctor Who," makes a big splash this summer in "Guardians of the Galaxy," the latest movie from Marvel Comics universe, opening Aug. 1.
In this spacegoing adventure, she plays Nebula, part of an evil gang alongside the nasty Ronan the Accuser (Lee Pace).
"We go around antagonizing everybody, and making life difficult for the Guardians," she said in an interview backstage after her FanX appearance. "And Nebula's cool because she has a cybernetic eye and arm."
When Gillan's agent approached her about the role, she said, "the first question was, 'Are you willing to shave your head?… It's for a Marvel film.' I honestly thought there's no way I'm going to get it."
Shaving her trademark ginger tresses was a big change, and "for the transformational aspect of it, it was just what I want as an actor," Gillan said. "It was perfect for me, because it made me feel like a different person. It made me feel intimidating for the first time in my life."
Part of playing Nebula involved training for a spectacular fight scene with one of the Guardians, Gamora (played by Zoe Saldana).
Gillan's advice for the FanX crowd: "First of all, never fight with Zoe Saldana." Backstage, she added, "It took me two months to learn a sequence that took her two days. … The time and effort that goes into a Marvel [action sequence] is insane."
Being in "Guardians of the Galaxy" also means Gillan — who made her American film debut this April with the horror movie "Oculus" — is now part of the ever-expanding Marvel universe.
"They sent me this letter saying, 'Welcome to the Marvel family,' and I'm having it framed. It means that much to me," she said. "It's the coolest thing ever."

To me, the truest symbol of spring is the start of baseball season. So I went to McCoy Stadium to watch them wake the place up …
… and ended up learning the most surprising detail I've ever heard about the game.
You know those pristine new baseballs pro teams all use? They're not so perfect after all.
A staff member is assigned to put dirt on them first.
They were doing it at McCoy last week when I visited to watch them get ready for tonight's PawSox opener. Carl Goodreau is the team's clubhouse manager. One of his jobs is to take out every pure white baseball, dab it with mud, wet his palms, and rub for 30 seconds to coat it with a film of dirt. It makes them less slippery for the pitchers.
Not just any mud will work. The team buys a 3-pound container from a New Jersey man who scoops it up for a living in a swamp there. The container has a label that says, "Original Baseball Rubbing Mud." Since you only use a fingertip-sized dab per ball, the container lasts the season.
Goodreau told me that, the day before, he'd spent more than five hours rubbing mud on 1,000 baseballs. He'll eventually have to do more than 5,000 — that's how many a team uses. People have tried to automate it, he said, but the only thing that works is human hands.
I was talking to him in the locker room. The 25 players who will make the initial roster were due back in a few days from spring training in Fort Myers. Goodreau would soon be putting the names in each locker — which brings up one of the other intriguing details I came across at McCoy.
The lockers all still have the names of former greats who passed through Pawtucket. There are dozens you'd recognize. You can see where Roger Clemens, Jason Varitek and Jon Lester dressed for PawSox games. One locker was used by both Wade Boggs and Clay Buchholz, another by David Ortiz and Daisuke Matsuzaka.
I was at McCoy last Friday and started by meeting Michael Gwynn at the front office. He's the team's longtime vice president of marketing — though at McCoy, "longtime" is redundant. Most of the senior staff arrived young and decided to make a career of it.
One of the first things you notice about the offices is the "presence" of Ben Mondor, who died in 2010 after 33 years of running one of the most celebrated of Triple-A franchises. He brought attendance at the park from a low 70,000-per-season to more than 600,000, in part by making it affordable for families.
In Mondor's spirit, said Gwynn, tickets this year will still be between $5 and $12. And on Mondays, McCoy will have a dollar menu — hot dogs, peanuts, Cracker Jack and popcorn, each for a buck. A new report says Fenway is the most expensive baseball park in the country, with the average cost for a family of four at $350.78, including refreshments. The same family could catch Monday night baseball at McCoy for a tenth of that.
He mentioned other Mondor-style traditions. After every Sunday afternoon game, fans will be invited to run the bases, and after Wednesday games, to come to the field and take family pictures.
The stadium holds 10,000, including 12 suites for up to 30 people — Gwynn thinks it's the only stadium in the country with luxury boxes at ground level. There are also rentable picnic tents for 50 or more.
Gwynn took me to the most luxurious suite. They call it "The Boardroom" because it doubles as that for the McCoy staff — and any business that wants to rent it. Many do before games, or even on non-game days just for the view of the field, and perhaps batting practice.
I've never seen anything like it — a boardroom that looks directly from ground level onto a professional baseball park. Instead of corporate art, the walls have PawSox jerseys bearing names such as Pedroia and Lester.
Gwynn all but guarantees that a few names from this year's crop of PawSox will one day be just as famous. It happened last year, when a once-little-known Pawtucket player named Xander Bogaerts became a key part of winning the 2013 World Series for the Red Sox. A surprising 70 percent of PawSox players have gone on to the Major Leagues.
We sat on two of the office chairs that surround the board table. You may recognize Michael Gwynn's name from his past life — he was a reporter and anchor at Channels 10 and 12 before coming to the PawSox.
He liked his media jobs but likes this one better, in part because of working with "Ben, Mike and Lou." He meant Mondor as well as current club president Mike Tamburro and general manager Lou Schwechheimer — both longtime PawSox fixtures.
McCoy, Gwynn said, has been under their management for more than 30 years, and they've always run it like family.
Jeff Bradley, who joined us in the boardroom, echoed the same thought. Bradley began flipping burgers at McCoy at age 16 and now, 22 years later, is director of community relations.
"Every day I wake up and drive to a ballpark," he said. "It's not bad way to make a living."
Of course, the action at McCoy is on the field, but Gwynn said the mentality of the staff is focused on the stands.
"Every fan," he said, "could have gone somewhere else — a restaurant or the movies — and we want them to know we appreciate they came here."
The goal, he said, is to make people feel part of the game, so senior staff has a tradition of standing outside the entrance each night to lead a hand-clap just before the gates open.
Inside, he said, you find a unique venue.
"There's something about being in this particular park," said Gwynn. It was renovated in 1999, but still has the old-school feel of the 1940s when it was built. It has a unique leftfield berm that doubles as a picnic area, as well as amphitheater seating and roof-covered stands. He added: "There's not a bad seat in the house."
Then there's the pricing — affordable tickets, cheap concessions and free parking.
"If you're a working mom or dad, you can come here with your family, see some big-league ball players, and still have some dollars left in your pocket."
Gwynn added that McCoy's link to the mother club is stronger than almost any other minor league stadium.
"We're closing on our 40th season," he said, "and we have the second longest major league-Triple-A affiliation."
Tonight's season opener is against an opponent that reflects another engaging aspect of the league: Team names. The PawSox will face the Lehigh Valley IronPigs.
The pregame ceremony begins at 6 p.m. with police and fire guards, some of whom will play bagpipes.
And remember the Boston cop photographed with his arms up at Fenway celebrating a World Series home run that landed in the bullpen? His name is Steve Horgan and he'll be throwing out tonight's opening pitch and signing autographs.
I asked Gwynn if he has a favorite moment at McCoy. He nodded. A half hour or so before the gates open, he likes finding a top row seat where he can quietly take in everything — the field, the neighborhood and all the staff's prep work.
Bradley told me he has an opposite favorite time. After Sunday games, when the fans have left but the aroma of popcorn is still in the air, he likes to walk around and appreciate having brought off another game before it all starts over again the next day.
It's a natural thing to do if you end up inside a ballpark at a quiet time.
On my way out last week, I took in the simple prep work myself:
The grounds crew watering the field.
The maintenance staff cleaning the locker-room rugs.
And I knew that clubhouse manager Carl Goodreau would soon be getting more baseballs just dirty enough to be perfect for another season at McCoy.

CEO caught on video kicking dog
A man caught on video repeatedly kicking a dog in an elevator is the CEO of the American catering company Centerplate, Inc.
Des Hague has been the CEO of Centerplate since 2009.
The company supplies food to several stadiums including the Superdome and Notre Dame.
The video was shot in Vancouver, where Hague was reportedly pet-sitting for a friend.
It shows Hague repeatedly kicking a dog several times before hauling it from a leash.
Centerplate's Board of Directors issued a statement saying they put Hague on "indefinite probation," ordered him to donate $100,000 to establish a Sade Foundation to help abused dogs in Vancouver and to perform 1,000 hours of community service in support of groups that help care for animals.
The dog, which appeared to have been abused, is in the SPCA's custody and is doing well.
The dog's owner can appeal to have the dog returned.

Captive Bears in Human–Animal Welfare Conflict: A Case Study of Bile Extraction on Asia's Bear Farms
- Ryunosuke Kikuchi

Rent the article at a discount

Get AccessAbstract
Bear bile has long been used in the Asian traditional pharmacopoeia. Bear farming first started in China ~30 years ago in terms of reducing the number of poached bears and ensuring the supply of bear bile. Approximately 13,000 bears are today captivated on Asia's bear farms: their teeth are broken and the claws are also pulled out for the sake of human safety; the bears are imprisoned in squeeze cages for years; and a catheter is daily inserted into a bear's gall bladder or a tube is implanted inside its body in order to collect the dripped bile—captive bears moan in severe pain whenever the bile is extracted. When the bears cannot produce sufficient bile, they are often left to die of starvation. It must be impossible to justify the bile extraction from living bears because (1) medicinal/herbal alternatives are similar to bear bile; (2) there is no evidence to suggest that bear farming has any beneficial effects on wild bear populations; and (3) ethical problems lie not only in the painful bile extraction but also the whole lifecycle of captive bears. In conclusion, human welfare (health care) based on traditional medicine is upheld by sacrificing bear welfare. Since a trial calculation suggests that it is economically unfeasible to keep a proper balance between bear welfare and the traditional pharmacopeia, the cultivation of herbal alternatives seems to be a possible solution to phase out bear faming and maintain the practice of traditional medicine in Asia.

COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö Dick Buchanan has officially declared his intention to run on the Democratic ticket for the office of Mayor of Columbia City in the upcoming May primary.
He and his wife Jean raised their daughter, Christy Fulk, an elementary teacher residing in South Whitley, and Phillip Buchanan, a clinical pharmacist in Nashville, Tenn., in Columbia City.
SOUTH WHITLEY ŌĆö Success breeds Success. That is the hope of the Whitko High School administrators as they kicked off a series of events arranged to expose students to the ŌĆ£real world.ŌĆØ
With the intent of introducing students to some of WhitkoŌĆÖs more successful graduates, four former WHS students and members of the recently formed Successful Whitko Alumni Speakers Bureau came to the school Wednesday morning to share their post-Whitko experiences with current juniors and seniors.
COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö Two men accused of child sex crimes were seen in Whitley County Circuit Court this month.
Jay Huffman, 58, of Columbia City, pleaded guilty to two counts of child molesting. William Greenwood, 40, of Pierceton, was arrested Jan. 15 for sexual misconduct with a minor, child molesting and child seduction.
Huffman was arrested in October on allegations that he had engaged in sexual activity with two girls in his family, 11 years old and younger.
COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö A Columbia City man is facing 23 felony charges for crimes against children.
Following a month-long investigation, Charles Larson, 45, of Columbia City, was taken into custody Friday afternoon after detectives looked into various allegations of child sex crimes.
Investigators with the Whitley County SheriffŌĆÖs Department and Indiana State PoliceŌĆÖs Cyber Crime Information Technology Section uncovered a substantial cache of child pornography during the execution of a search warrant at LarsonŌĆÖs home in Columbia City.
Indiana's public access counselor says an eastern Indiana school board member may have violated the state's open door law when she suspended the district's superintendent.
Christa Ellis, the president of Union School Corp.'s school board, suspended Superintendent Fred Herron on Monday, a day before she and two fellow board members voted to place Herron on paid administrative leave. The board's two other members, who were surprised by the move, abruptly resigned during the meeting.
"I don't want to be part of this train wreck," board member Alan McCormick said in resigning.
WHITLEY COUNTY ŌĆö Forecasters are expecting 3-5 inches of snow in Northeast Indiana on Sunday. Flurries are expected to begin Saturday, but increase Sunday morning and continue through the night.
The latest 'Bad Lip Readings' video skewers many of the NFL's biggest stars with some unforgettable lines.
COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö The public can honor a special person in life by purchasing a ŌĆ£Valentine for LifeŌĆØ from the Whitley County Giving Circle for WomenŌĆÖs health, The tax-deductible donation will help to provide free mammograms for local women who cannot afford one and would not otherwise receive this critical cancer screening. A Valentine costs $5 with all proceeds to benefit the free mammogram program ran in partnership with Parkview Whitley Hospital. Deadline for Valentine submission is Saturday, Feb. 7.
COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö Winter is here, and with the first icy blasts of sub-zero temperatures, ice and snow comes a set of problems that for most of us are simply annoying. For the elderly these conditions may present serious issues. The freezing temperatures and sub-zero windchill reading present a very real possibility of frostbite and hypothermia for the elderly.
Because of decreased circulation and generally lower fat content, some of the elderly may have a tendency to ŌĆ£feel coldŌĆØ most of the time.
COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö Columbia CityŌĆÖs girls basketball team has made its way into the Associated PressŌĆÖ weekly Top 10 poll this week, sitting at No. 9 in Class 3A. The 16-4 Lady Eagles suffered their first loss in a 9-game win streak on Saturday, falling to Class 4A No. 4 Homestead, in a game that was closer than the final score showed.
The Lady Eagles were within five points of Homestead in the second half, eventually falling 62-50 after fourth-quarter free throws.

The 10 Greatest Basketball Moments Ever In TV Sitcoms
Growing up in the '90s, I was spoiled in an era that was full of great television sitcoms. It was a time when shows like The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Martin were at their peak. What was cool about these shows is they did a great job of blending in with the era's mainstream popular culture, whether it was from the music or sports industry. Read More »

Sleep Habits Changed!
Comments (10)
Good luck.
Dawn(27), Jeremy(27) 4 Angel babies, Annabella Rose 7-22-2011, Kailyn Kay 7-19-2012
To everyone else thank you! I hope this is just a small phase for all us
My 7 mnth DS just started waking up at 5 am, usually would sleep until 7. I think he was hungry bc he would go back down after I nuresed him. This happend for three days in a row. Just last night I feed cereal before the last bottle and its 6 am and he is still alseep. Hopefully that was just the problem.
You just never know, they keep us on our toes for sure!
I am sorry your little one is no longer sleeping well.
The one thing that I noticed is the time you put your baby to bed. 9 pm is too late...when babies have too late of a bedtime they tend to start waking up during the night when they were previously sleeping through the night.
I would dial the bedtime back. Babies this age the average bedtime is between 530-730. The bedtime is determined by the time they wake up from the last nap of the day. My son gets up from his last nap between 330-4 and his bedtime is around 6-630. I have a last wake time of the day of around 2-2.5 hrs.
What time does your little one wake from their last nap...oh and the last nap should not go past 4 pm...if your little one is taking a late evening nap it is best to stop that and start putting baby to sleep earlier. If your little one is waking up early and waking frequently at night this is a sign that the baby is overtired. A baby this age needs at the minimun 11-12 hrs or more of overnight sleep. My son sleeps from 6-6 each day. A solid 12 hrs...if I put him to bed later than 6 he wakes up super early...one day when we were visiting family we were late getting him to bed...he went to bed at 745...he woke up wide awake to start the day at 4 am...sleep begets sleep.
A good book to read is healthy sleep habits happy child by Dr. M Weissbluth!
If your little one is fighting sleep it may be time to do some sleep training...like CIO with checks...or full extinction CIO without checks...if you need any help with a plan I would be happy to help...pass me a note!
Hang in there...never getting any sleep is rough...I have been there and made it my mission to help my son sleep better!

"That's what she said!"
(o) (o) Gold with PLATINUM nips!!
Loren is right! The same story with my little girl. In fact, she's just finished her first round of antibiotics from an ear infection and had two teeth break through last week too. So we've actually had to make her bed time earlier and wake times less in order to get her napping well again (she always takes two naps an hour each, and sometimes a third 30-minute nap). She was sleeping from 6:30 p.m. to 7 a.m., but being sick made her overtired, so it became harder to get her to nap and go down easily at night. She's probably going to need a more few nights of going to bed between 5:30-6 until she fully recovers. Sounds crazy, but our babies are still very young and really need thier sleep!
P.S. I use a sleep sack for naps and bedtime, and my little one has been army crawling since 5 months. She knows a sleep sack means sleep time. It's actually been a huge help! I like to layer a cotton sleeper with a cotton sleep sack since it breathes better than fleece.
My LO has been doing this too...totally from teething. Nothing showing yet, but man... the drool and the chewing...and she's all snotty. We thought it was a cold (cause of the snot) but ped said most likely it is cause she's getting all four front ones at once (everything coming out of her is clear and no fever so its not an infection). Poor thing!! Those teething tablets really do work wonders! She only gets them before naps, at bed and if she is really super cranky during the day.
...is this thing on?

→ Free Design Help
→ Great Design Advice by the Hour
My husband and I had been living in our house in DC's Columbia Heights two weeks when interior designer Celeste Davis arrived for a two-hour consultation. We were already desperate for help.
Before we moved, Eric and I had offered almost all of our furniture on Craigslist for free to anyone who would pick it up. The ad went live at 8:50 am on a Tuesday. By 9:30 that morning, everything was claimed—even our stained sofa and an Ikea armoire that had seen better days.
We were excited to cast off our old stuff and start from scratch. But our clean slate quickly started to seem overwhelming. We had bare white walls, no furniture, and lots of decisions to be made on furnishings, paint, window treatments, rugs, art, and more. Eric was itching to check things off of our to-do list and eager for a comfortable place to sit. I worried about making hasty purchases we'd regret. Professional help seemed the answer.
We couldn't afford an interior designer's full services, but some designers offer one-time consultations, for a few hundred dollars, that give you advice to get started. I thought this might help speed up our decorating, settle disagreements, and prevent expensive mistakes—though I wondered how much you could accomplish in a two-hour meeting.
I set up appointments with three designers who work in the style we like—a mix of contemporary and mid-century-modern furniture with a neutral palette. I chose them by looking at their Web sites—two have online portfolios—and by talking with them on the phone. All three seemed smart, friendly, and fun. If you're going to bring someone into your home, I figured, it might as well be someone you like.
Two of the designers waived their fees because I was writing an article. We decided to focus on the first floor of our house, which has an open floor plan for the living room, dining room, and kitchen.
Celeste Davis, the first designer, brought her associate, Yvette Freeman, along to our appointment. We started by looking through pictures Eric and I had pulled from magazines and the Internet to give them a sense of our taste. We talked about how we plan to use the space—having friends over, lounging with books and magazines, and not making the TV the focal point.
Davis and Freeman got down to business, working their way around the first floor with specific suggestions: paint the shoe molding white, replace the light fixture by the door, stain the stair railing very dark. I trailed them with a notebook, scribbling as quickly as I could.
Davis told us what kind of furniture to put where, then gave us dimensions and suggestions on where to shop—And Beige in DC's Adams Morgan for accessories, YLighting.com for a front-hall light, Capitol Hill's Eastern Market for a bench. She was very decisive, which Eric and I appreciated because we're prone to hemming and hawing.
The designers weighed in on questions where Eric and I disagreed. He wanted to build a low shelf on our living-room wall and cover the rest of the wall with stone veneer that would make it look like a real stone wall. I wanted more shelves for our books, but Davis and Freeman liked Eric's idea.
I had told Davis over the phone that we were thinking about painting the room a deep taupe. Eric wondered if a dark shade would make the room feel closed in, but Davis explained that dark colors make walls seem to recede, so the reverse is true.
She and Freeman pulled out a color wheel and helped us choose five shades of taupe they thought might work. They told us to get sample pots and try the paint on a couple of walls. By the time they left, we had eight pages of notes and a clear vision for the room.
We ran into trouble when we tried to buy paint samples. None of the five colors came in sample pots, and the next-smallest size was a quart. It seemed wasteful to buy that much paint, so instead I picked samples that were reasonably close. (I later came across a Web site, MyPerfectColor.com, that sells samples of any Benjamin Moore color.)
