Student group hosts event honoring Delaware legislators
Public Relations
- Published: February 14, 2013
Widener Law's
Student Animal Legal Defense Fund
organization, in partnership with The Humane Society of the United States, will host a ceremony that honors two Delaware legislators for their work on behalf of animals.
Feb. 20
event will recognize Delaware Sen. Patricia Blevins (D-Elsmere) and state Rep. Earl Jaques (D-Glasgow). They will each receive a Humane Legislator Award given by The Humane Society of the United States. The program will begin at
5 p.m.
in the
Ruby R. Vale Moot Courtroom
in the Main Law Building on the Delaware campus.
The program is open to the public. Blevins and Jacques will both speak, after receiving their awards, about the development and passage of humane laws and the importance of animal protection laws.
The Humane Society of the United States bestows legislator awards annually to elected officials who have been leaders in the development of laws that protect animals. The law school's Student Animal Legal Defense Fund (SALDF) extended an invitation to host the event as it coincides with the organization's mission to protect the lives and advance the interests of animals through the legal system. Widener Law began providing classes in animal law in 2004 and the area of law continues to grow in popularity.
"We are pleased to welcome The Humane Society of the United States and these elected officials to Widener Law for this special event," said student Danielle DiPillo, president of SALDF. "Public service is part of the culture at Widener and this is an excellent opportunity for our organization members, and other students, to witness its rewards. SALDF is grateful to be part of this event and have this opportunity to learn more from our guests about important current issues affecting animals."
Blevins led the initiative for Delaware's low-cost spay/neuter law, which funds those services for income-eligible pet owners. It is funded through a $3 rabies vaccination surcharge. She also led the effort to define standards of care for animals in shelters, and procedures to ensure animals receive every opportunity to be adopted. Most recently she was the primary sponsor of legislation, signed into law in August, that defines continuous dog tethering as a crime of animal cruelty. She also established and chairs the state's Animal Welfare Task Force, which convened last year.
"I am honored to receive this award, particularly because it reflects the passion that I hold for protecting animals. Animals enrich our lives and they deserve our best efforts to make their lives happy and free from suffering," Blevins said.
"Sen. Blevins has made a career of helping those in our community who cannot speak for themselves. She is a passionate leader when advocating for laws that assist animals and their human counterparts," said Hetti Brown, Delaware state director for The HSUS.
Jaques was the primary House sponsor of legislation to end Delaware's role in the global shark finning industry by prohibiting the sale, trade, possession and distribution of shark fins. He was also a lead sponsor on the dog tethering animal cruelty legislation, and worked to help get the bill passed.
"I am so honored to receive this award, although I believe I'm just doing what anyone would do. Protecting those who can't speak for themselves, like our animals, is something everyone of us needs to do each and every day," Jaques said.
Brown added, "Rep. Jaques is a vocal advocate for animal protection. His commitment to ensuring humane treatment of companion animals and wildlife is evident in the way he champions initiatives to protect them."

Interestingly enough, a new listing showing devices supported by Blackberry OS 10.1 has an unexpected entry: The Blackberry PlayBook.
You can go to the list by going to create or update an app in the Blackberry Vendor Portal and then you simply choose the supported version of Blackberry 10. A list will then show up, including the PlayBook.
So here's the big question? DOES the PlayBook support BB10.1 or is this simply some kind of mistake? If it does support BB10.1, it could be in the form of a PlayBook 2, or simply an update for the older PlayBook. Or maybe even both?
We aren't really sure what to make of this. While Blackberry didn't exactly have a lot of luck in the tablet market, many of its problems had to do with the PlayBook OS not exactly having all the crucial apps needed right out the gate. Blackberry hasn't clearly stated its plans for the tablet space going forward, but this could maybe be a sign that they aren't done just yet.
Do you think it makes sense for Blackberry to roll out BB10.1 to the Playbook or even revive the line with a BB10.1-capable successor, or should the company solely focus on phones? Share your thoughts below.
[ source ]
They promised that so they have to release the BB10 for the Playbook too. Or at last they have to make the playbook able to run the BB10 apps. The redundancy is not an option now.
Playbooks are supported on the Blackberry Server 10.1 at least. I set one up the other day.
they have just done it to give them the option ,a few months ago the option was yes now it seems like no,this support just accommodates for the ever changing mind of rim
I read in some blog recently that the 10.2 SDK supports the Playbook screen resolution. I "think" the issue is the amount of RAM. It is not the speed because the Q5 runs at 1.2. Supporting the Hub is probably memory intensive. My guess is that you will not have the ability to smoothly run 8 apps and the hub at once without performance issues. They may put a limit on number of apps that can run. Anyway, I think it will be part of 10.2 and it will happen.
It may have to be a lite version, pb only has 1gb of ram :(
If they dont I gonna tell them to give me my money back
I think this is a good strategic move. Reason. Test out the bb10 os on the current PlayBook. PlayBook owners would be ecstatic. They would gladly put up with any bugs. Bb could use the experience as a precursor to rolling out bbpb 2 – if they wanted. Better than introducing a new pb 2 with bb10 and then have it crater because of software problems.

See Deleted Shots from Ralph Bakshi's THE LORD OF THE RINGS
By Kyle Anderson on March 24, 2014
Fans of whacked-out animation and rotoscoping will surely know the name Ralph Bakshi, the underground genius who gave the world such grown-up cartoons as Fritz the Cat, Heavy Traffic, and Wizards. In 1978, he made a version of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings that is alternately loved and derided by fans of the source material. It included much of the first two novels in a 132-minute version (The Return of the King was later made by Rankin/Bass, who also did an hour-long version of The Hobbit).
Now, Bakshi's son Eddie has restored short deleted clips from this film for fans of hand-drawn cell animation, and of Bakshi's unique interpretation of the classic epic, according to Boing Boing. Each scene is only about ten seconds in length, and of course has no sound, but it's a glimpse into the inner workings of a misunderstood pioneer in independent animation. They depict Gandalf battling the Balrog and, as the above shot, look very different from the finished product.
This represents months of work on the part of Eddie, who has taken it upon himself to comb through his father's archives and share any little gems he discovers with the world via the internet. The second one was posted to the official Ralph Bakshi Facebook page back in October, and the first just a few weeks back.
As you can see, Bakshi ultimately went a different direction with his Gandalf versus Balrog memory scene, choosing his now-infamous rotoscoped creature:
We don't know about you, but we'd love to see more of what's in Ralph Bakshi's vault. Have you seen this or any other of Bakshi's films? Tell us about your favorites below!
Interesting how much PJ seems to have utilized from this scene in creating his scene in 2001.
I always lamented not having Return of the King from Bakshi. I love his movies, Wizards and Fire&Ice especially. Visionary animator.
I respect his version of LOTR and I think some parts of it are truly brilliant. In fact most of it is brilliant, but it definitely suffers from being incomplete.
Fire and Ice, inspired by Frank Frazetta is interesting to watch. It has problems, but I thought it has a very interesting making. The documentary about Frazetta: Paining with Fire, is a great watch and Bakshi is prominently featured in it.

The debacle has taken a toll. Last December, the Center announced a $2 million budget gap, and began slashing jobs. All told, it has shed more than a third of its staff—14 people have been laid off and five open positions eliminated—and eaten through $1.4 million of its reserves. One reason for the shortfall is a steep drop in foundation funding, a trend some insiders see as a side effect of the business plan. As one argued, "Why would foundations put up money for something every daily newspaper and most blogs are doing?" Another factor is the money the Center plowed into the venture. "We took our general operating support and invested it in the new business model, expecting it would bring a financial return," Buzenberg explains. "That hasn't happened."
Buzenberg insists that, in some ways at least, the bold experiment has paid off: The organization has become more digitally savvy and nimble in its reporting. "The Center for Public Integrity makes no apology for being ambitious and investing in a new business model to create additional revenue streams," he says. "This is a period of tremendous transition, change, and opportunity in the news business—and no news organization has come up with all the answers."
Solomon, meanwhile, has continued along the same path. After leaving the Center, he was hired as editor of news and investigations for Newsweek and The Daily Beast. But he resigned abruptly in January, and has since rededicated himself to launching a new digital daily called The Washington Guardian. "It's an investigative news project—something like Jack Anderson would do if he were still alive," Solomon explains. He adds that it will be both "platform agnostic" and "revenue agnostic," meaning he'll wrap the content in any package he thinks will sell, be it syndicated television programming or ebooks. Based on what he's hearing from potential advertisers and syndications partners, he says he's optimistic that the project will not only make money, but cut a path to a new business model as lucrative as the one that sustained modern journalism in its heyday. "A lot of people believe the industry is in the midst of this terrible Darwinian downsizing," Solomon notes. "I, for one, am intent on proving that the best days of journalism are ahead."
If history is any guide, that means it's time to run for cover.
Corrections: Re: The Washington Times—Several sources told CJR that the redesigned website was unpopular with the Times's aging readership, but CJR misinterpreted their statements to mean that this had caused the paper to lose traffic. In fact, prior to Solomon's arrival the paper had only a basic site that was rarely updated, and with the introduction of the new site—which posted stories regularly and was aggressively promoted—traffic rose. The site was redesigned again in 2010, after which traffic (which had fallen sharply after the 2009 shakeup) rose steeply.
Re: The Center for Public Integrity—In the phrase "the number of pageviews on the Center's website rose from around 300,000 to 1.13 million" the word "monthly" was omitted before "pageviews." Also, CPI's tuna series was "submitted" for a Pulitzer prize rather than "nominated"; the people who run the Pulitzers prefer to reserve the word "nominated" for entries that the judges pick as finalists, which is not the case here. CJR regrets the errors.

Hear New Albums: AFI, Avett Brothers
What's better than new music -- for FREE!?!
Not much. A week before the release of their new album, emo rock poster-boys AFI are streaming Crash Love for two days only. Listen here. Meanwhile, on the complete opposite end of the spectrum, eclectic folk-rockers Avett Brothers have also leaked their new album, I and Love and You. Listen over at NPR.
The new releases are benchmarks for both bands. Crash Love, AFI's follow-up to their most successful release, Decemberunderground, shifts gears towards an anthemic breed of moody rock, complete with Queen-like choruses. Like what you hear? Catch AFI on tour this fall.
The Avett Brothers' I and Love and You is a genre-breaking blend of southern folk, punk, and rock, produced by Rick Rubin, scoring the band a Breaking Out feature in SPIN's September issue. Their live set is excellent, too, as the boys proved at 2009's Newport Folk Fest. Read about the performance here.
Listen to both albums, then tell us your thoughts in the comment section!

Easter Bunny-Worthy!
By RainyRamone
from SF Bay Area
I ordered three of these and all came with blue bases, which I don't mind. The eggs are 5" long and 3" wide, and come with some green plastic grass inside. The fancy lettering appears like the professionally hand-painted type, although I don't know if this is really the case. All in all, I'm extremely pleased with this purchase!

Watch for certain letters
By Mair
from Olyphant. PA
Although a cute idea, do not purchase if there are any n's in the name as the script used makes them look like m's i.e. the name Shane looks like Shame amd Anthony looks like Amthony. I was not happy with the results and will end up discarding them as I would be embarrassed to give the name Shame to my nephew. And I was told that they cannot be returned. The script should be changed to more modern usage.
Very nice.
