Under-25s face end to jobless pay

Published: 03 October 2013
As he promised pro-business policies and hinted at tax cuts after the election, the Prime Minister warned that there will be no option of a life on the dole for under-25s, telling the Conservative Party conference that he wanted all of them "earning or learning".
Full details of the reforms are expected to be included in the Tory manifesto for the 2015 poll, but Downing Street aides said that young people who are not in work, education or an apprenticeship and decline to take up training places can be expected to lose their automatic entitlement to benefits including jobseekers' allowance and housing benefit.
Cabinet Secretary Sir Jeremy Heywood has been commissioned to carry out a review of training and education for under-25s, which will feed into the policy. He is considering reforms to offer support to young people while they undertake training programmes.
In his keynote speech concluding the Manchester conference, Mr Cameron appealed for the Conservatives to be given the chance to "finish the job we've started" by being returned as a majority government at the 2015 general election.
The Prime Minister said the UK economy was "beginning to turn the corner" and pledged to build "a land of opportunity for all" by backing business, home-ownership and education as times get better.
And he turned his fire on Labour leader Ed Miliband for "bashing business" and treating enterprise and the profit motive as "dirty words".
But the clearest signal of major new policies for the Tory election campaign came as he stated his determination to do more to intervene at an early stage to prevent young people becoming trapped in a cycle of unemployment and benefit dependency.
"Today it is still possible to leave school, sign on, find a flat, start claiming housing benefit and opt for a life on benefits," Mr Cameron told Tory activists.
"It's time for bold action here. We should ask, as we write our next manifesto, if that option should really exist at all.
"Instead we should give young people a clear, positive choice. Go to school. Go to college. Do an apprenticeship. Get a job.
"But just choose the dole? We've got to offer them something better than that...
"So this is what we want to see: everyone under 25 - earning or learning."
Plans to withdraw housing benefit from under-25s were first floated at last year's Tory conference, when the measure was estimated to save a possible £2 billion. Aides had no immediate figures for the potential saving from extending the idea to other benefits.
Critics warned that the measures would force more young people into poverty unless there is massive investment in education and training.
The general secretary of the University and College Union, Sally Hunt, said: "Educational underachievement costs the UK economy an estimated £22 billion a year. We will not resolve this massive problem by forcing young people into unstable, low-paying employment or inadequate training.
"What we need is a real plan at local and national level which provides sustainable and secure employment opportunities for young people and access to education which is useful and mind-broadening. Cheap headlines about lazy youngsters or cutting their benefits are no substitute for a strategy which is on the side of young people and allows them to realise their potential."
And TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady said: "Given the Government's awful track record of helping young people find jobs, the Prime Minister's threat to ban the dole for under-25s will simply push hundreds of thousands of young people, including those with young families, even deeper into poverty.
"Young people suffered most in the recession. Today the Prime Minister has pledged that they will suffer most during the recovery too."
But Mr Cameron told the conference: "Let no one paint ideas like this as callous.
"Think about it: with your children, would you dream of just leaving them to their own devices, not getting a job, not training, nothing?
"No - you'd nag and push and guide and do anything to get them on their way, and so must we."
Education Secretary Michael Gove - using a Scots word for a heavy blow - told BBC Radio 4's The World at One: "It is important to stress that for lots of young people, they are desperate for work. But it is always going to be the case that there are some people for whom you need not so much a nudge as a dunt towards the workplace.
"It is important also that we all recognise that welfare is there explicitly to help those people through hard times, that it shouldn't become a way of life to which people become habituated."
Mr Cameron used his speech to tell Conservatives that their ambitions should not be limited to "clearing up the mess" left by Labour, but should stretch to creating a "land of opportunity for all" as the recovery sets in.
He made clear his intention to reduce taxes, telling activists: "We're Tories. We believe in low taxes. And believe me - we will keep on cutting the taxes of hard-working people."
But he also warned of further austerity following the election, even if the recent return to growth is sustained, insisting Tories will stick to their economic course "until we've paid off all of Labour's deficit, not just some of it" and will run a surplus - spending less than they take in from tax and other revenues - even after the deficit is eliminated.
The PM promised Conservative support to business, praising entrepreneurs as "national heroes" and recalling the "incredible pride" he felt when his wife Samantha - who was watching in the audience - made her own first steps as a businesswoman.
And he told activists: "Let us pledge today that we will build something better - a land of opportunity. A country built on that enduring principle, seared in our hearts, that if you work hard, save, play by the rules and do your fair share - then nothing should stand in your way."
Mr Cameron's address sought to draw clear dividing lines with Labour, describing Mr Miliband as "Red Ed" and dismissing his promises to cut the cost of living by freezing energy bills as "all sticking plasters and quick fixes".
He denounced Labour's plan to hike corporation tax rates for large businesses as "just about the most damaging, nonsensical, twisted economic policy you could possibly come up with", warning it would drive multinationals away from the UK and cost jobs.
"I know that bashing business might play to a Labour audience," he said. "But it's crazy for our country. So if Labour's plan for jobs is to attack business, ours is to back business."
Labour said it was clear the PM had been forced to abandon his previous efforts to brand their leader "weak".
"David Cameron has clearly given up attacking Ed Miliband as weak," said a senior source. "Labour is now the party setting the political agenda and the Tories obviously have no answer to the energy price freeze."
And Mr Miliband tweeted: "David Cameron's speech shows he does not know where to start in tackling the cost of living crisis facing Britain's hard-working families. The last thing families want is him to 'finish the job' when prices have risen faster than wages and average pay is down by almost £1,500."
In a riposte to shadow chancellor Ed Balls's famous "flatlining" gesture, Mr Cameron pointed upwards as he boasted: "Jobs are up, construction is up, manufacturing is up, inward investment, retail sales, homebuilding, business confidence, consumer confidence - all these things are up.
"Let us never forget the cast-iron law of British politics. Yes - the oceans can rise and empires can fall, but one thing will never, ever change. It's Labour who wreck our economy and it's we Conservatives who clear it up."
But despite telling activists that the UK economy was "beginning to turn a corner", Mr Cameron made clear there would be no let-up in cuts to state spending.
"We are still spending more than we earn," he said. "We still need to earn more and yes, our Government still needs to spend less."
The Conservative leader also sought to claim ownership of territory where his party has traditionally found it difficult to make inroads against Labour - positioning the Tories as the true defenders of the NHS, promising to drive industrial regeneration in the North of England, and even urging activists to applaud the "noble and vital calling" of social work.
In a bold attempt to wrest the mantle of "the party of the many not the few" from Labour, Mr Cameron accused Mr Miliband's party of allowing disadvantaged people to be written off and consigned to a life on benefits.
By contrast, the Conservatives' "land of opportunity" would be "for all", no matter what their family and educational background and whether they are male or female, black or white, from the North or the South, he said.
"It's this party that is fighting for all those who were written off by Labour," said Mr Cameron. "It's this party that's for the many, not the few.
"Yes - the land of despair was Labour, but the land of hope is Tory."
Unlike Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg at last month's Liberal Democrat conference, Mr Cameron said that he will not be campaigning for another coalition government in 2015, but will be seeking an absolute majority to allow Tories to rule without the constraints of coalition.
" When the election comes, we won't be campaigning for a coalition, we will be fighting heart and soul for a majority Conservative Government - because that is what our country needs," he said.

The Prime Idea of establishing Institute of Standards and Industrial Research of Iran (ISIRI) emerged upon the approval of "the Law of Weights and Measures" in 1925. Later in 1953 due to the pressing necessity to determine the exact features of merchandise to be imported/ exported as well as maintaining observation over such goods, an official organization seemed to be an inevitable concern which eventually paved the way for the organizational nucleus of the Institute of Standards and Industrial Research of Iran to operate under the "General Department of Trade". Following the approval of the bill to establish the Iranian Institute of Standards in 1960 the institute became operational within the framework of the specified functions and responsibilities, consequently joining the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in the same year. At present, the secretariats of four TCs are located in Iran: ISO/TC 91- ISO/TC 134- ISO/TC 217- ISO/TC 122. ISIRI is also a member of International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), World Association of Industrial & Technological Research Organization (WAITRO), International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML), and International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC). More over, following the Supreme Council of Standards' approval, the National Committee of Iranian Codex Alimentarius Commission was established and the relevant secretariat was set up in ISIRI, which operates as the sole contract point in the country. ISIRI has been a member party of ISO Council in three year terms in 1976-69, and 1977-79. In addition, in a 3- year term in 1967- 1969, ISIRI has been the vice- president of the council. For the first time after the victory of Iranian Islamic Revolution, ISIRI has been elected for ISO Council Membership (2005-2006) as well. |
The Institute of Standards & Industrial Research of Iran, is the sole organization in the country that can lawfully develop and designate official standards for products. It is also the responsible body for conducting them through the endorsement of the Council of Compulsory Standards.
International Workers' Day (also known as May Day) is a celebration of the international labour movement and left-wing movements. It commonly sees organized street demonstrations and marches by working people and their labour unions throughout most of the world. May 1 is a national holiday in more than 80 countries. It is also celebrated unofficially in many other countries.

Benz attended grammar school and later Polytechnic University.He married Bertha Ringer in 1872, who played an active role in his business, together they had five children.
In 1885, German mechanical engineer, Karl Benz designed and built the world's first practical automobile to be powered by an internal-combustion engine (horseless vehicle). On January 29, 1886, Benz received the first patent gas-fueled car. It was a three-wheeler; Benz built his first four-wheeled car in 1891. Benz & Company, the company started by the inventor, became the world's largest manufacturer of automobiles by 1900.
Karl Benz passed away in 1929.

:could i
:have to say?
nothingnothing painfully nothingnothing
miss you honey, miss you Muse
miss you baby(poetry)baby
i treated you good
oh didn't i Muse?
i never gave you
too much to do
why other poets
overload their Muses
we'd worked out a nice mutual respect, i thought.
love, don't be silly
lady, come down
i swear by this poem
come back from the stars
"...when suddenly, out of the darkness, came..."
...came what?
-the prodigal Muse?
-a sentence?
-a poem?
-the ending to this spectacularly dull story?
-the right word to unlock
the wintry chamber inside and free
my poor frozen Muse
from february's dark hell?
words to tempt the lovely,
lay them on an altar piled with
rotting flowers, lady my lovely
i try to tempt the Muse with
lovely things
tokens of fidelity to
her inspiration
don't you like
strawberries my girl;
what about rose petals? tea leaves? walt whitman?
don't you want to come into
spring with me with words and blossoms
what's wrong, Muse?
have i bruised
your tender simile,
sprained your metaphor,
or offended some syntax?
did i wrong you in
that vivid description
of the
the morning after
in my mind?
--honestly: women! can't live with them, can't be a lesbian without them. i trusted my Muse, respected her in all my work, then she goes and throws in the towel. i've always considered the position of Muse a relatively cushy job- good hours, good pay, minimum hazard and great benefits. but this Muse of mine, oh, she won't have it. i'd swear she was on strike if i thought she'd join a union. she's far too proud- with a stamp of her shapely, golden-sandaled foot, and a toss of her gossamer hair, she spreads her wings and is off to the islands. come back, lady! can't i tempt you with anything i own?--
oh Muse, jealous Muse,
who like the moon grows full and thin;
fickle Muse, to you i owe my allegiance-
come back.
Personally I don't like strawberries, but that's beside the point. Gorgeous writing as usual. Do you ever write anything terrible? Btw, your comment about women cracked me up. :)

It hadn't happened in 13 long years
For the first time since the year 2000, the Toronto Maple Leafs failed to get a single shot on goal in the third period. Not one. Out-shot 17-0 by the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The Maple Leafs followed that up with another goose egg in overtime before losing in a shootout
"Nights like last night bring you to earth in a hurry," said coach Randy Carlyle the morning after his team blew a 4-1 lead and were held without a shot for the last 25 minutes of the game.
"I don't sleep well. I get stress headaches," added the coach when asked if he is concerned about the way his team is playing.
The Leafs are last in the NHL giving up 36.1 shots a game. They are 28th in the league in terms of shots taken on goal at 26.1.
"Statistically points wise, body of work, body of play I don't think we are satisfied," said Carlyle. "We've been pleading about our shot totals and directing pucks to the net and simplifying."
"It eventually catches up to you if you get out-shot like that," warned David Clarkson. "We are in the midst of figuring it out and like everybody in life, you go through learning things and as a team we're continually getting better."
"If I had the answer to that we wouldn't be talking about it," said Carlyle. "I don't know who has the answer to that."
But the Leafs are determined to find that answer. They've been out-shot in all but three games this season, and with three losses in four games, they know they need to be better if they want to remain in a playoff position.
"It's not something we are happy about," said defenceman Carl Gunnarsson. "You can't just go out and worry about it too much. Obviously you have to work on it. There's no reason to get that spinning in your head all day."
"We believe this team can have success because we have talent," said Carlyle. "We can play to a higher level and that's what we are going to force ourselves into."
The penalty kill, once a key to the early season success, has plummeted from an impressive second in the league to 20th and that superb has been below-average lately.
"Obviously we've given up 11 goals in two games — that's not going to cut it," Carlyle said. "That's not going to work in the NHL. We know that. We've got to continue to work on that. Stapling people and separating people from the puck."
That's got to become more prevalent in the defensive zone for a Leafs team that has a daunting schedule in front of them as they head into a stretch of games that invludes Sharks, Stars, Senators, Bruins, Kings, Blues, Blackhawks and Penguins.

Brown rice is a whole-grain rice with only the outer husk removed. As a result, brown rice has a wonderful nutty flavor and chewy texture. This also means brown rice takes a little longer to cook than does white rice. Store brown rice sealed in an airtight container in the pantry for up to six months.
Bone-in chicken breasts can be used in place of the boneless chicken breasts. Cook them an additional 5 to 10 minutes.
Brown rice is higher in fiber and B vitamins than white rice.
Multi-grain rolls, sparkling water and hot green tea complete the meal.

ESA Award Recipient: Fabian Macias, Manager of the City Environmental Health Department Air Monitoring Team
January 13, 2012
Fabian Macias, an employee in the Environmental Health Department is the latest recipient of the City of Albuquerque's Efficiency, Stewardship and Accountability award.
In 2009 Macias took the initiative to help the City of Albuquerque obtain EPA grant funds for environmental improvements to diesel vehicles in its fleets. It was up to Macias to fill out the applications and gather the necessary information from city departments.
Through his hard work from Macias the City of Albuquerque was awarded a grant for $642,699 to put towards the fleets in the Department of Solid Waste and the Albuquerque Fire Department. The original grant was only supposed to be for $230,000 but Macias was able to take advantage of other opportunities to increase the final amount of the grant.
Macias is filling out the EPA applications yet again and this time around he is trying to include the Department of Municipal Development, Fleet Maintenance, and Solid Waste in the applications. Taking on these applications is well beyond his job of monitoring the daily air.

Our longtime readers should be well-versed on the subject of home security by now. Even if you're not, though, our archives are brimming with useful information to help you assemble the best DIY security system for your home. In part one of this two-part series, we now present you with a short (but crucial) list of things that you should now know about home security:
1. Wireless and Hardwired Systems Offer the Same Home Protection
There was a time when hardwired systems– that is security systems that involve detailed wiring inside of a home's walls– were considered to be better than wireless security systems. In the early years, technology hadn't developed to the point that it has today. Because of this, it wasn't unusual for people to experience interference from nearby devices or even weaker signals between sensors and an alarm's main base. Those days have long since passed, however, and, in most instances, today's wireless alarms offer the same level of protection as hardwired systems. The only exception to this may be if a building's square footage is too large for sensors to effectively communicate with the alarm's brain. However, for average sized homes and, certainly, apartments and condos, there is no need to drill through walls and cabinets to install an alarm's wires when a wireless unit can be installed in a matter of hours and offer the same level of protection.
2. Alarm Monitoring Is Not Only Essential, It's Affordable
Prior to reading this blog you probably thought that alarm monitoring wasn't a big deal. Since reading multiple posts on this subject, however, you now know that alarm monitoring, as in having a live third-party immediately on alert and investigating an alarm, makes a huge difference in your safety. Unfortunately, third-party vendors– even some of the largest and most popular names in the security business– have duped people into believing that the only way to secure such protection is to pay hundreds of dollars per year for such personalized service. It has been our pleasure to introduce you to Alarm Relay, though, so that you now know that alarm monitoring can be secured for a mere $8.95 per month.
3. Burglars Are Your Friends
Ok, not really. We hope. But they can be and that's what we've tried to teach you here. Criminals aren't always creepy guys lurking in dark alleys at night while plotting their next heist. Much to the chagrin of several homeowners, burglars have been their own neighbors, pastors (yes, that really happened) and even a few trusted friends– or the friend of a friend. Whatever the case may be, we've stressed this point in an effort to urge each of you reading this to be very mindful of who you allow into your home and who you give access to in terms of providing spare keys or carte blanche access to your garage, tool shed, etc.
4. False Alarms Are Preventable
We've made a lot of fuss about people who have very capable alarm systems, but deliberately resist using them. A good majority of the time, people like this don't arm their alarms simply because they've experienced too many false alarms. Understanding that this can be annoying, as well as expensive (some cities charge for police officers being dispatched on false alarms), we've shared how most false alarms are preventable. Often, they are due to human error like forgetting an alarm code or to things like faulty installations or even loose window or door sensors.
5. Deterrents Are Just As Important As Alarms
When you first arrived on this blog, you probably thought that an alarm was the end-all-be-all of home security. Since joining our readership, however, you now know that while an alarm is an integral part of an overall system of protection, it is not the only important component involved. This is because deterring burglars from approaching your home in the first place can be just as important as installing a DIY alarm system. To state this another way– doing things like placing security signs and motion-activated lighting around your home, is just as important as protecting your home with an actual alarm system.
Need to Catch Up? No Worries, We're Here For You
Stay tuned for part two of this post where we'll share the rest of the list and offer five more important things that you should know about home security. And, don't worry, if you feel a little lost on any of the subjects covered here, there's still time to explore and learn. Everything discussed today and in part two of this post has been presented in more detail in earlier posts. So use the search box to your right and take a few minutes to catch up while you're here. You owe it to yourself, your home and your neighborhood to know everything that you can about home security in order to prevent a burglary from happening to you or someone you love.

And he won.
Unlike the less affluent hordes who race to their appointments with the Value Adjustment Board, Milton did all his negotiating behind the scenes, ensconced on the other side of the fabric partitions that separate the honchos from the hoi polloi in the Dade County Property Appraisal Department. The day his hearing was scheduled, Milton didn't even bother to show up.
In his absence, Special Master Pedro Lopez absent-mindedly initialed the fourteen-property deal Milton had worked out with county appraisers. In fact, Lopez gave so little thought to the changes he had made -- changes totaling at least $412,761.26 -- that five months later he couldn't remember seeing the case.
Such is the numbing nature of the property tax appeals system.
Last year 28 special masters, the lay "judges" who decide tax appeals, whacked more than one billion dollars off Dade County's tax base, shrinking tax revenues by $31.5 million. Included in the numbers were some whopping reductions: $350,865.45 for the owners of the Omni International Mall; $308,374.53 for the Fontainebleau Hilton; $258,057.51 to Koger Properties, a megadeveloper of office parks in West Dade.
To the unsophisticated taxpayer, the mere thrill of manipulating such massive quantities of moola (not to mention the impact of reductions on Dade County public services) might seem enough to make these decisions memorable, but most special masters appear to have difficulty recalling even the vaguest details about their cases, no matter how colossal the sums.
Lopez, who also ruled on the Sheraton Bal Harbour's appeal, is at a loss to explain why the luxury hotel merited a reduction of $170,813.55. "I don't remember the specifics," he grouses. "It must have been warranted. You study the case, and if the property is overassessed, you grant a reduction."
Special Master Manuel Blanco had a similar memory failure regarding Koger Properties, although county records show that on March 2, Blanco ruled on 32 different Koger parcels, lowering the total assessment by several million dollars and lightening Dade's tax kitty by more than $250,000.
"You know how many properties we hear in a session?" Blanco asks testily. "We hear around 50 properties, and you are there once a week for five or six months. It would be impossible for me to tell you what I did on a particular day or what happened with a particular piece of property."
Given that some special masters have been reappointed for more than a decade, it's plausible that individual cases would become indistinguishable, that when looked at a certain way, a $25,000 homestead exemption (worth about $778 in tax dollars) would appear identical to a $71,619 reduction to a developer (the amount Blanco granted to an outfit known as United States Development Ltd.). But while figures may tend to blur, the toll on the county's budget is easy to quantify.
Property taxes account for 61 percent of Metro-Dade's general fund, which pays for everything from libraries to police protection, public hospitals, roads, and parks. Last year $746 million in property tax revenues went into the general fund, while an additional $309 million was set aside for other parts of the county budget and millions more were distributed to local municipalities.
How much property tax you pay is determined by the assessed value of your property, which is designated by county appraisers. The assessed value multiplied by the millage rate set by city and county governments yields your tax.
If the county makes an error in assessing your property, the Value Adjustment Board hearings provide a forum for redress. The special masters are supposed to right wrongs, correct mistakes, and ensure that millions of dollars aren't unfairly funneled into (or out of) county coffers. (For more on the way the appeals system operates, see sidebar.)
How well is the system working? In an effort to analyze the process, New Times examined all the appeals filed in 1994, looking for problems that have plagued the property tax appeals process here and across the nation: questionable patterns in tax appeal approvals, such as obvious favoritism toward the rich, powerful, or well connected; indications of payoffs; and improper relationships among special masters, employees of the Property Appraisal Department, and representatives hired by property owners.
The study was based on data New Times purchased from Dade County's Information Technology Department. Sorting the records with the Microsoft Access database program yielded one immediate discovery: The county's computer data were in sloppy shape.
The records are rife with typos. Thirty-nine reductions were attributed to two masters who didn't exist, while hundreds of other reductions, ranging from a few hundred to a few hundred thousand dollars, weren't attributed to any particular special master and would have required extensive research to track down. New Times's requests for information about inconsistencies in the data took weeks to answer because the programmer most familiar with records no longer works for the county.

Billy Ray Cyrus spends his weekend at the hospital with son
July 15, 2012
Wow, hope everything's okay in the Cyrus household.
It's been revealed that Billy Ray's son, Braison Chance, had to spend the weekend in the hospital in LA for what's being described as heavy blood loss, although no reason for the blood loss has been explained.
Today, Billy Ray took to his Twitter to share a picture of Braison along with:
This was yesterday. Everything is O K now and he is home...but @braisonwukong was bleeding badly ! yfrog.com/oeu93ewj
The photo (here) shows Braison with blood dripping down his chin and wires hooked to his chest.
The singer also tweeted his thanks to the medical staff who looked after his son, adding:
"Thanking God and all the fine doctors nurses and staff at Providence Saint Joseph hospital. Been a wild 24 hours..."
Sure hope it was just a case of boys being boys and nothing serious. I've had more than a few doctor/hospital visits for those types of moments.
UPDATE: Braison himself tweeted this weekend about being hospitalized, saying:
Today was actually the most horrific day of my life. Honestly, I can't sleep because I'm scared.
I got my tonsils out last week. Not sure what happened exactly but long story short my artery opened and I was bleed a lot. All good now.
Wow, that sounds much worse than just a case of a really bloody nose. Glad everything seems to be okay now.

Accounts of life at Sugarloaf from August 1994 through June 1996 have been passed along and elaborated upon until the tale that emerges is a concoction of conflicting facts and perspectives. "There is no objective history here," asserts Naomi Rose, who was closely involved with the efforts at Sugarloaf. "Usually if you have five people watching an event, you'll get ten versions. In this case you'll get 25 versions. I cannot begin to tell you how intense the personality conflicts are among these activists. I've never seen anything like this."
Adds Niki Entrup, whose Vienna-based animal rights organization Vier Pfoten (Four Paws) was a major financial sponsor: "Something about dolphins makes people crazy."
Bogie, Bacall, and Molly were the first to arrive at the newly christened Sugarloaf Dolphin Sanctuary in August 1994. The three female dolphins had been putting on private shows at the exclusive Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo for the previous six years. Prior to that, Molly, a voluptuous, unabashed dominatrix, had appeared in marine shows all over the U.S. and had even been trained to carry cameras to search for the Loch Ness monster in Scotland.
Federal law decrees that marine mammals held for display must be available to the general public, and the private Ocean Reef Club didn't want to open its doors. So after a long campaign by activists, the club's directors agreed to let their dolphins go. O'Barry and a 43-year-old Melbourne scuba diver named Joe Roberts had formed an organization called the Welcome Home Project, which was dedicated to taking Bogie and Bacall back to the Indian River lagoon near Melbourne, where they'd been captured in 1988. Sugarloaf would be their temporary home while O'Barry supervised their "untraining" and honed their survival skills. The much older Molly was considered more likely to "retire" at Sugarloaf.
Lloyd Good III, whose father has owned Sugarloaf Lodge since 1973, had been part of the negotiations for the "Ocean Reef Three" (as the activists dubbed them) and had been working for more than a year to obtain the federal license necessary to keep the dolphins until release. A laid-back 34-year-old with longish blond hair and a bushy beard, Good says he dreamed of establishing "the world's biggest dolphin pool, where dolphins can come and go as they please. I believe in letting them choose."
Support was generally enthusiastic for Bogie and Bacall's Welcome Home Project and for the whole premise of the Sugarloaf Dolphin Sanctuary. Representatives of some of the nation's most prominent animal rights organizations agreed to sit on the sanctuary's board of directors. Donations flowed in from wealthy animal advocates. Local raffles and benefit concerts raised more funds. In addition to hiring Ric O'Barry to oversee work with the dolphins, Good brought on several paid trainers and handlers. Volunteers offered to catch and prepare fish (a healthy dolphin eats 20 to 30 pounds of fish per day) and assist with myriad other chores.
O'Barry helped attract financial support and -- just as important -- media coverage. After a high-profile career as a television dolphin trainer, he underwent a radical change of heart and became a campaigner for dolphin freedom. He has accumulated three decades' worth of contacts in both entertainment and animal rights spheres; his anti-captivity resume includes protests and sabotage activities (resulting in several arrests), hunger strikes, and actual dolphin releases. None of the releases, however, has been thoroughly evaluated, so it's impossible to know how well the dolphins adapted. A 1993 release in Brazil is considered successful even by a few of his critics.
The job of retraining and releasing Bogie and Bacall, O'Barry estimated, would take three months and cost $25,000. In the spring of 1994, when the arrival of Bogie, Bacall, and Molly at Sugarloaf was thought to be imminent, O'Barry contacted Spiegel TV of Germany to see if its newsmagazine show would be interested in documenting the project. Spiegel executives flew him to Hamburg, wined and dined him, and agreed to pay $25,000 in three installments for exclusive rights to film the freeing of Bogie and Bacall. O'Barry figured he'd let the animals go on the symbolic date of July 4, 1994. Joe Roberts, from his office in Melbourne, would make sure the voluminous paperwork necessary to complete the application for a federal release permit was in order.
At the same time Sugarloaf was preparing for Bogie, Bacall, and Molly, another dolphin windfall was in the works. After much lobbying by the Humane Society and others, the U.S. Navy, which held more than 100 dolphins, agreed to relinquish some of its stable. Humane Society officials asked O'Barry to assist them, and together they flew to a naval facility in San Diego, where they were to select up to six release candidates. O'Barry chose five males he felt were most likely to readapt to the wild. (Two were later dropped because of poor health.) In late November 1994, O'Barry accompanied the dolphins Luther, Buck, and Jake on a military transport plane to the Naval Air Station at Key West. Sugarloaf staff and volunteers were on hand to help load them onto trucks for the short drive to the sanctuary.
Now there were seven, including the aging and ailing Sugar, who had lived in a lagoon at the Sugarloaf Lodge for more than twenty years and who was considered a Good family pet. Recalls Lloyd Good, who became the legal owner of the new animals: "I don't believe you can own dolphins, but I signed an agreement to receive Molly, Bacall, and Bogie on August 10, 1994. Then I signed an agreement to receive Luther, Buck, and Jake on November 30. I brought Ric O'Barry in because he was the only one at the time who had experience with releasing dolphins. Then everything started to go nutty."

Rumor Has It: What're you going to do now, Microsoft?
E3 and WWDC put several rumors to rest, but as expected, a few other rumors cropped up this week.
The Xbox affair
Will Microsoft ease up on some of its policies?
This week has been just crazy.
Among all the fun and games: At WWDC, Apple announced a completely revamped iOS 7, iTunes Radio, new MacBook Airs, a new Mac Pro, and a new OS X. At E3, Microsoft announced a price and release date for the Xbox One. And Sony announced the price, release date, and used-games policy for the PlayStation 4. Everyone cheered, and then passed out from exhaustion.
But because of all the hoopla, I think that Microsoft is going to ease up on its restrictions. What do you think?
Also, Samsung could beef up its Galaxy Note lineup, and an analyst predicts you'll be wearing an iWatch by the end of the year.

In a world where all carriers were shouting my 4G network is bigger-faster-better, nobody explained to consumers what exactly it meant to have a 4G network. Streaming movies was one of the most relevant features to achieve this.
We sponsored the broadcast of several TV shows but to truly emotionally connect with our audience, we needed to stay away from regular logos or mentions and do something really unique.
We wanted T-Mobile to be the TRUE sponsor of our audience's most precious moment of the day.
To remind our target that their favorite TV show can be interrupted without warning by a family member wanting to watch something else, we produced special scenes and pushed LIVE TV CONTENT away, creating the illusion that a movie was competing with their show for space on the screen. Thanks to T-Mobile's 4G network, families can now stream movies INSTANTLY on their phones.

Autumn Musical Festival Shutdown Spurs Teen Ravers to Riot in Downtown
Categories: News
The riot took place after officials shut down AMF early for reasons relating to an unruly crowd outside the gates. Apparently, the police did not think far enough ahead to figure out what a couple thousands unruly teenagers would then do.
This video opens with several kids surrounding a Miami-Dade Transit bus stopped on Biscayne Boulevard. Several are on top, showing off like budding young douchebags are apt to do. Then the "party" moves to the top of a taxi cab while the hapless driver sits and watches his vehicle being damaged. Chants of "fuck the police" and "fuck that taxi" erupt until one kid jumps from the top of the bus onto the taxi. Just a reminder: Any of the damage done to these vehicles will be paid with your tax dollars.
Amazingly, there seem to be none of Miami's finest on the scene while this video was being filmed.
In a report from HouseMusicTv.com, the reporter explains that more people showed up than organizers had anticipated which led to the early shut down. He is also amazed that there is absolutely no police presence to deal with the mob scene.
Maybe we should let you know that Riptide has a well known bias against teen ravers. In fact fortunately for our safety, and unfortunately for our eyewitness reporting capability, we accidentally passed by the scene on Saturday before the riots took place but could feel something unsettling brewing:

Hard Knocks' Episode Two Tracks Chad Johnson's Last Days With the Fins
HBO sure got its money's worth from the Miami Dolphins this past weekend. On Friday night, shortly before kick-off of the first preseason game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the team announced that quarterback David Garrard, a free agent pick-up brought in to compete for the starting job, would be undergoing knee surgery and miss four to six weeks.
A day later, star wideout Chad Johnson was in handcuffs and being carted off to Broward County Jail, accused of headbutting his wife Evelyn Lozada, who got mad at the ex-Mr. Ochocinco when she found a receipt for a box of condoms. By Sunday night, Johnson had been kicked off the team. All this while the cameras were rolling!
You're damn right we tuned into Hard Knocks last night to relive all the painful memories.
But before the HBO film crew gets to the money shot of head coach Joe Philbin dismissing the controversial wide receiver, the second episode of Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Miami Dolphins opens with a news clip about the unexpected death of Garrett Reid, the oldest son of Philadelphia Eagles Head Coach Andy Reid. It's a tragic story that Philbin is all too familiar with.
The Death of Michael Philbin
The head coach recounts how he found out that his son Michael had been found dead in a frozen river shortly after interviewing for the Dolphins' gig, when he was still offensive coordinator for the Green Bay Packers. Although the sappy background music was a bit annoying, Philbin's account hits the viewer like a Muay Thai knee strike to the ribs.
He says: "As we were waiting in the police station, our daughter, who is 10-years-old, put her arm around her mother and said, 'you didn't do anything wrong. It is not your fault that Michael; you let him go out visit his friends."<
Philbin recalls being numb and shell-shocked when his other son, Tim, asked him if he was going to pursue the Miami job. "I said, 'I don't know, I haven't really thought about it,'" Philbin recollects, his voice cracking. "He said, 'Mike would want you to do it.'"
Then we get a shot of Philbin on the phone with his peer, Reid. Kudos to HBO for getting the audience to feel empathy with the head coach. In the first episode, Philbin came off as a party pooping principal. But after the second episode's opening scene, he's just another human being trying to move on from a horrific family tragedy.
Tight End Boot Camp
The camera cuts to rookie tight end Les Brown, the guy from the first episode who gave up a career in finance to chase his NFL dream, being grilled by someone off camera who questions his motivation for being the first guy to sit down for a team meeting. A voice booms: "Well, we don't know if you're an early guy or if you're just kinda here because Hard Knocks is here..."
We quickly learn that despite rising early, Brown still can't block worth a lick. Then we get treated to a montage of what Brown can do: catch the pigskin over the middle. Next, we meet another tight end, third round pick Michael Egnew, who is having a hard time picking up plays. We hear tight ends coach Dan Campbell tell one of his subordinates to keep an eye on Egnew. "Stay on him," he says. "He needs it man. He's a good kid, but he needs to know how things go on around here."
In the next scene, Egnew and Charles Cates, yet another tight end, are on the receiving end of a profanity-laced job evaluation from offensive coordinator Mike Sherman. "I am telling you right now I got nothing to say about you at these meetings other than he's not doing his job," Sherman barks at Cates. "You better start picking your shit up. It wasn't good enough. You hurt us the other day."
Sherman then turns on Egnew. "You were terrible," Sherman says. "I would cut you today if I was general manager. Get your head out of your ass. This group is not waiting for you. You were drafted as a high pick. Get your shit going, you understand?"
Someone should remind Sherman that this is Hard Knocks, not Full Metal Jacket. Whenever football coaches try to act like drill instructor Gunnery Sgt. Hartman it just looks ridiculous.

Close your eyes and try to picture California in your mind. What do you see? The snow-capped Sierra Nevada? Towering redwoods shrouded in mist? The steep cliffs and crashing waves of the Big Sur coastline? Or perhaps golden hills studded with gray-green oak trees under a cyanic sky? Oak woodlands are one of California's signature landscapes-a natural icon of the Golden State. Oak woodlands are the richest terrestrial wildlife habitat in California. Over 330 species of birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians depend upon them. These woodlands are also home to hundreds of species of plants and play a critical role in protecting soils, regulating water flow in watersheds, and maintaining water quality in streams and rivers. In the last 250 years, California has lost 90% of its majestic valley oaks and one third of all species of oaks combined. Of an estimated 10-12 million acres of original oak woodlands, only some seven million acres remain. Most are degraded to some degree, and only about 4% enjoy protected status. Oak woodlands continue to be impacted by intensive urbanization and agriculture. The California Resources Agency estimates that more than 14,000 acres of oaks are lost annually to development, rangeland "improvement," and conversion to more intensive agricultural uses such as vineyards. Because oaks are considered "non-commercial" species, they are not subject to state laws which regulate timber harvest. Local protections through General Plans, resolutions, ordinances, and voluntary efforts generally have failed to slow the loss of California's oak woodlands. Senate Bill 711, introduced in the state legislature last year by Senator Sheila Kuehl (D- Los Angeles), would require California's counties to prepare Oak Woodland Management plans or ordinances that require mitigation for the loss of oak woodlands and specify minimum mitigation measures. Unfortunately, SB 711 was bottled up in the Assembly Appropriations Committee because of opposition from development and agriculture interests. The author intends to move it out of committee and to a vote in 2004. SB 711 is a common-sense approach to protecting California's vanishing oak woodlands that has the flexibility to allow development and agricultural activities to continue in areas where oaks occur. California's oak woodlands need and deserve protection. If our children and grandchildren are to enjoy California's unique oak-studded landscape, then it is incumbent upon us to take the steps necessary to preserve them now. Please call or write your legislators and ask them to support SB 711, or join Sierra Club California's Legislative Action Network to receive alerts on this and other important state legislation. < back to all issues

Pentecostal churches usually put an emphasis on a direct personal experience with God and practice the baptism of the Holy Spirit. In the Bible, Pentecost can be read about in the book of Acts, where the Holy Spirit descended on the followers of Christ. Some major beliefs of Pentecostals are salvation through Jesus Christ, divine healing, baptism of the Holy Spirit, and that Christ is returning. Pentecostal churches also place an important emphasis on spiritual gifts and the fruit of the Spirit; and it is important for every Christian to have evidence of spiritual fruit in their lives.
