The hilarious gents behind the fan-swarmed Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) have announced Ken Levine as the keynote speaker during the event that runs from August 29-31.
"Obviously, Ken is pimp supreme," said Penny Arcade's Robert Khoo, "We're super excited to have him open up the show."
Levine, who has recently been iconized for his work on the critical and commercial smash-hit BioShock, will lead the charge at the event which also includes musical guests MC Frontalot, FreezePop, the MiniBosses, and Jonathan Coulton of 'Still Alive' fame.
PAX also welcomes back the Omegathon, in which twenty randomly-selected PAX pre-registrants compete against each other in various gaming events ranging from table-top to the electronic games. Winner of the 2008 Omegathon will score a trip for two to the Tokyo Game Show, along with $5,000 in spending skrilla (that's OG street for monies, btw) and a home theater system that is described as "almost supernatural."

Cornhole Commotion will not be held in 2015
We will miss one of our favorites in 2015 I recently learned that the Light Foundation will not host Cornhole Commotion this year. After reviewing the numbers from the previous years coupled with a price increase to rent the Dana Farber Fieldhouse, they came to the conclusion that the event would not yield the publicity and funds that they are seeking. I would like to thank the Light Foundation and Goodwin PR for providing the opportunity to hold such an amazing event the past two years. Many have already asked about the tournament this year and some wanted to plan their events around it to avoid conflict. While that will not be necessary, it shows the demand this event generated from the cornhole community and I appreciate it! With 48 total courts each year, this was not just a Boston Cornhole event, but one only made possible with the help of some of the biggest organizers and supporters of cornhole on the East Coast. I would like to give special thanks to the following: 1. Jeff Bachand and Andy Gomes (South Shore Cornhole) 2. Pat Ward (Ward Boards) 3. Bob Youtz and George Hoffman (Holes for Heroes) 4. Scott Laba and Shayne Coyne (CNY Cornhole) 5. Rich Queen and Randy Parker 6. Mike Doherty and Rob Doherty (Doherty Custom Boards) 7. Justin McKinnon (McKinnon Cornhole Boards) 8. Joe Shaughnessy 9. Craig Gagnon (Craig Boards) 10. Cindy Boutiette 11. Keith and Kyle Lessard 12. John Moran and Dave Moran 13. The talented Carolina players who traveled so far to participate...and win!
A Reading from the Book of Cornhole...
40 Plus defeats "The Gods" in Church The last Saturday in January presented several options for those looking to pitch some bags. However, the most competitive tournament of the bunch played out in St. Teresa's Church in Pawtucket, Rhode Island for the First Annual Knights of Columbus Cornhole Tournament. Our first big tournament of the year lived up to expectations with a densely competitive field. In group play, it was big names taking some big losses and failing to advance. Order was restored a bit in the competitive tournament with Rich Queen and Randy Parker of 40 Plus cruising through the winner's bracket. However, strong play from Andy Gomes and Charlie Prew (The Norton Gods) evened things up by taking the first match of the finals and were on the verge of completing the double-dip in the final match. Down to their last point, Randy Parker put up a strong frame to deliver 40 Plus to a 21-20 victory. Amen. The Dirty Dots, Mike Doherty and Rob Doherty, rounded out the top three. While teams from Massachusetts swept the podium, the Ocean State contingent racked up a HOLE lot of losses! Honorable mention is due to G2, Gus and Gus Bruker, who won the social division tournament. While this tournament may be remembered for the dramatic ending, we should also recognize the arrival of some new faces who not only played, but were able to compete! It was great so see the guys from Abington, Jose and Joe represented a strong group from Sturbridge, and a star may be born in Larry Pigeon! 2015 is off to a great start and the next stop is The Wu with the Woburn Little League Cornhole Tournament on tap for February 21st at the Sons of Italy in Woburn. Be there! |
Help hit your Boston Marathon Fundraising Goal with a Cornhole Tournament!
Currently booking fundraisers for the 2015 Boston Marathon It's marathon training season once again in Boston! For those of you running the race, that means weekend long runs have begun (or at least they should have). For many, that also means that fundraising campaigns need to be in full stride! For the fourth consecutive year, we are happy to offer cornhole fundraiser tournaments beginning at just $200 (2-3 cornhole courts). While cornhole may not be as much fun as a 20 mile long run, it's a great, fun way to get friends and family together to support your fundraising goals! If you are interested in hosting a cornhole fundraiser tournament, please write to us at email@example.com. |

Tournament Details
2014 Player of the Year: Sarge is in Charge!
Sarge (Right) - too difficult to remove Lowry from pic He is one of the better-known players in the area, has an unbelievably high winning percentage, makes his teammates better, and has been overheard dropping F-Bombs (C-Bombs too)! I could be referring to either Tom Brady or our 2014 Player of the Year. Well, this isn't ESPN, so let's give Sarge his props! His loud, brash style and affinity for profanity may rub some the wrong way. But, if it's okay for New England's beloved QB, don't hate on the guy in the sandals! My first introduction to Sarge was an ACO Regional where he blew through a very strong field for an undefeated victory. However, accolades alone do not make the POY. Sarge does not show up for the money (well, not just the money), meat on a stick, or any other reason other than to compete. Always a tough out, I'm happy to have Sarge come spar with us anytime! In 2015, I don't see Sarge marrying a supermodel or knocking up an actress, but anything short of that would not surprise me. Congrats on a great 2014 and good luck next year! |
2014 Tournament of the Year: EXIT Realty Corn Toss Festival
Introducing group play followed by competitive and social divisions If you have been playing cornhole over the past few years, then you know that the EXIT Realty tournament has been one of the better ones. Therefore, when Sean Harrington called me for help running the 4th edition, I was both pleased and challenged to improve a tournament that already did quite well. Fresh off a trip to the ACO World Championships where despite losing just about every match, there was always another chance to compete. I had a new format in mind for Slater Park. We are not world beaters in New England, but competitive players will always massacre the novices at charity events. Twelve courts permitted triple-elimination group play followed by two separate tournaments (competitive and social). The determination of "A Level" and "B Level" was based strictly on group play performance and of course, luck of the draw! The end result was a minimum of three matches for everyone, more than that for most, and a fun-filled day of cornhole. There were no early EXITs in this one! Since the Pawtucket tournament, this format has been employed and well received in the Sean Collier event and the Amesbury Rotary tournament. A simple innovation to a simple game...when space permits, we will continue to adopt this format in 2015. |
2014 Team of the Year: 40 Plus
Another successful year on the circuit I was tempted to list the pairing of Lance and me or perhaps leverage the two victories Keith Lessard and I had this year just to see the backlash. While plausible, regardless of what I write or anyone else's opinion, there's no debating that Rich Queen and Randy Parker are still the top one-two punch in the area. Large, small, or secret, the duo from the Wu have consistently done well in 2014 tournaments. Here are some tournament highlights: Maynard Food Pantry Tournament - 1st Place Woburn Cooperstown Little League Tournament - 1st Place Fenway Cornhole Classic - 2nd Place Cornhole Commotion - 4th Place Concerns of Police Survivors Tournament - 2nd Place (Secret Tournament) Woburn Veterans Memorial Tournament - 1st Place Barrett's $1K Tournament - 1st Place (one victory in the tournament series) Sean Collier Memorial Tournament - 1st Place I believe this to be a comprehensive list, but hey, you never know! That's a topic for another blog post...I am sure 40 Plus will have another strong year in 2015, but with good players getting better by playing weekly blind draws, perhaps the gap closes a bit next year! |
2014 Match of the Year
Are the Dots finally getting their due? If you read their last names, you would think they were brothers. If you listened to them bicker, you might think something else...One thing is certain, Mike and Rob Doherty are making it to the blog six months too late. It was a very hot, sunny late June Friday in what may have been the secret tourney of the year (if such a thing existed). After an early defeat, the Dots got it right in the loser's bracket on a run that knocked off K2 and Lance and me on the way to the final. A nice run that was sure to come to an end with 40 Plus waiting in the wings...only this time it didn't. As much as I hate to admit it, beating Rich and Randy is still a pretty big deal in New England. With that said, the Dots pulling off a double-dip victory is a very impressive achievement and our 2014 Match of the Year! We haven't seen too much from the Dots in the last few months of the year; hopefully, they can get their game back to a top level in 2015. |
'Tis the Season for some Holiday 'Hole!
Join us this Saturday, December 20th at the Lansdowne Pub for 'Hole for the Holidays, a cornhole fundraiser tournament to benefit the Cradle to Crayons charity. All levels of cornholers are invited to compete for a great cause. Check-in and day-of registration begins at 12 PM and the tournament will begin promptly at 1 PM. Tournament Details
Tri-State Champs: NH, RI, and now MA! What is the skill that cornholers in Massachusetts have improved the most this past year? Airmail...nope...defensive play...not really. Topping this list is the ability to find lightly publicized tournaments in the area. There were way too many familiar faces at the Northeast Country Music Cornhole Tournament to label this a secret tournament! The last minute arrival of the Dirty Dots to play spoilers altered the competitive landscape to be a good-sized group from the Bunting Club Bunch and two Boston Cornhole heavyweights. Unfortunately, the Dots handed Keith Lessard and me our first loss in our very first match! Maybe this was a lucky draw as it forced us to come off the canvas in the loser's bracket and become more accustomed to the corn bags in a tournament that definitely had an "away game" feel. Subsequently, the Dots dropped a match to Sarge and a new partner...a regular partner of his was in attendance happily playing the role of cheerleader... Forget a 1-2 finish, I was wondering if the four of us were going to have to sneak out of there with paper bags over our heads. Ok, R-E-L-A-X! Being in Billerica, we were bound to find a happy ending one way or another. The inevitable rematch with the Dots was a close one, but a big round by Keith turned the tide and I was able to "Lance" them with a walk-off four bagger. With the toughest matches behind us, it was cruise control until completing the double-dip victory in a very competitive final two matches! All in all, a very good tournament put on by Chris Doyle and the Northeast Country Music group. Combining cornhole and other forms of entertainment is the next step in the rise of cornhole in our area. Scarlett Drive rockin' the house and the presence of Wicked Cornhole gave this more of an event feel than just a tournament. We look forward to future events! |

Beth Orton
Venue, Vancouver, BC, October 16
As Orton started into "Heart of Soul" from her previous album, 2006's Comfort of Strangers, the distinctiveness of her voice became clear. In a falsetto, it seemed as though her voice might disintegrate like a moth's wings at any moment, but she was deeply evocative in her comfort zone, tempered by the waves of life experience she has tread since last she appeared on these shores, including marriage, motherhood, being dumped by her label and entering her 40s.
Armed only with two dry acoustic guitars and a mic, Orton progressed to perform "Touch Me with Your Love" from 1996's Trailer Park before moving to "Magpie" from Sugaring Season. Oddly enough, her falsetto seemed to firm up for the latter, newer song, enhancing her aura of conviction. Though she would return to older material later — care of a call for requests that led to a well-received version of "Stolen Car" from 1999's Central Reservation and, for the encore, that album's highly demanded title track — she generally appeared more confident in her new material.
"Something More Beautiful" showcased her sublime lyricism and subtle delivery, while "State of Grace" emphasized her droning, circular picking style. "Candles" was the clear highlight, though. Stripping away the strings, drums and electric piano of the recorded version to reveal its heart-wrenching and haunting core, the crowd got so quiet during this song, one could hear people selectively cough on the balcony at the back from up near the stage.
Ultimately, one of the most striking things about Orton's set was how free of pretension it was. Appearing in a loose, white shirt and blue jeans, with her hair somewhat mussy, she sheepishly made small talk about her tour details and complimented the city, noting its many sidewalk dwellers, occasionally mumbling away from the mic. She claimed "Poison Tree" was co-written with William Blake, whether he liked it or not, and when she, perhaps karmically, messed up a lyric, she admitted to it, kept calm and carried on without missing a beat.
Coming back soon! If our developer were more machine than man they'd already be here. Useless meatsack.
For now, please send any and all feedback to [email protected].

Boot up from the install dvd/cd and instead of an install, go to the Utilities menu and select Disk Utility. Do a repair disk and see what happens.
Do it a couple of times until you don't get any errors. Then try an install. If you keep getting errors, it might be time for a new hard drive. Craig Domingue - resident redneck. Never argue with an idiot. He will only bring you down to his level and beat you with experience., George Carlin |

UNION BEACH, N.J. (AP) — Rocker and philanthropist Jon Bon Jovi is sponsoring a community restaurant in a Jersey shore community still struggling mightily to recover from Superstorm Sandy.
By Susan Cornwell WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Conservative Republicans urged House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner not to capitulate in a fight with Democrats over President Barack Obama's immigration policy that threatens a partial Homeland Security shutdown later this week. The conservative lawmakers, led by Representative Jeff Duncan, circulated a letter to Boehner and other House leaders telling them to hold the line in opposing Obama's executive actions shielding millions of undocumented immigrants from deportation, a Duncan aide said on Tuesday. The House last month attached provisions to block spending on Obama's immigration orders to a $39.7 billion bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security.
The storm came as a surprise in North Carolina, where weather models were slow to predict the snowfall generated by cold, moist air over much of the state, resulting in many roads being untreated ahead of the precipitation. Winter weather advisories were in effect across the region, with snow reaching as far east as the North Carolina coast. Another round of wintry precipitation was expected on Wednesday. A 24-year-old man died in a weather-related crash in Utica, Mississippi, after losing control of his vehicle and slamming into a tractor-trailer, local officials said.
In a brief electronic ruling, U.S. District Judge George O'Toole denied the request that attorneys for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev made in late December, saying that the small groups seen around the courthouse advocated "various conspiracy theories" about the bombings but did not speak for their client. O'Toole had previously rejected the request in a closed court session, according to court records.

Pioneer Diversified High Income Trust (NYSE Amex: HNW) Announces Revised Payable Date For April Distribution
Pioneer Diversified High Income Trust (NYSE Amex: HNW) today announced a revised payable date for the fund's April distribution declared on April 5, 2011. The payable date will be May 2, 2011. The Ex Date, Record Date, and Distribution Rate reported on April 5, 2011 remain unchanged.
HNW currently has a level distribution policy, which is intended to provide investors with a relatively stable monthly distribution. The level distribution policy is subject to regular review by the Board of Trustees to determine whether it continues to be in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders. There can be no assurance that this policy will be maintained in the future or maintained at its current level. Investors should not necessarily draw any conclusions about the fund's investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the fund's level distribution policy.
At this time, HNW believes that the April distribution and a portion of its fiscal year-to-date cumulative distributions may include a return of capital in addition to net investment income and long-term capital gains. A return of capital is not a distribution of income or capital gains from the fund, does not necessarily reflect the fund's investment performance, and should not be considered "yield" or "income." The final determination of tax characteristics of the fund's distributions will occur after the end of the year, at which time it will be reported to shareholders.
HNW trades on the NYSE Amex. Pioneer Investment Management, Inc. is the fund's investment adviser. Keep in mind, dividends are not guaranteed. Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. There is a one-time public offering and once issued, common shares of closed-end funds are bought and sold in the open market through a stock exchange and frequently trade at prices lower than their net asset value. Net Asset Value (NAV) is total assets less total liabilities divided by the number of common shares outstanding.

Reveille 3 has been asked to sing at this historic event in Normandy, France on behalf of WWII Allied Forces. Help us get "Over There!"
Reveille 3: Marnie, Amy, and Christine
Project by Reveille 3: Marnie, Amy, and Christine
First created | 0 backed
About this project
"Reveille 3's music and choreography demonstrates a true commitment to the remembrance of our military history. We support their fundraising efforts as they seek to represent the Allied Forces of WWII…"
- John W. Hickenlooper, Governor, State of Colorado
Honoring the Past & Celebrating the Future
That's right! We've been asked to sing at the 70th Commemoration of D-Day in Normandy, France and we want to share this sentimental journey with you!
About the Tour!
We can't think of a better way to celebrate Reveille 3's 5-year anniversary than to sing in honor of our nations finest!
As one of a handful of performance groups selected for this honor, our performances will be in collaboration with the Alexandria Harmonizers, a 105-member men's barbershop chorus from Washington, D.C.
From June 5th- 9th, our performances include events around the Normandy area, Sainte-Mère-Église Parade and Community Concert, Basilique Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Chartres, Luxembourg Gardens, plus the Cologne Cathedral and a collaborative concert on the Cologne River with the BiNG Barbershop Chorus of Cologne, Germany (produced separately by BiNG).
Why We're Inviting YOU to Participate?
The ABMC and AMS do not provide any financial assistance to selected performing groups. That means, we are volunteering our time to represent our country at these historic events and we are not being paid for our time away from our regular schedule, our families and our lives. However, we strongly believe in being able to represent our US Veterans who are unable to attend themselves. This is why we need your help!
This is NOT a flexible-funded project. If we don't make the $11,000 goal, we don't get anything at all and we don't get to represent veterans and the US at these events. That's how kickstarter works. The future of this tour lies in your hands – no pressure!
For our donors, EVERYONE will receive:
- Backers exclusive updates about the tour
- Reveille 3 Newsletter with exclusive photos from the tour
- And an invite to our backer exclusive party in Denver, CO Summer 2014, Date TBD! Tickets as follows:
Donations Up To $150: 1 Ticket to the backer party Donations Over $175: 2 VIP Tickets to the backer party
We estimate the total cost of the tour to exceed $20,000 (Yikes! That's a small house!)
The funds raised will primarily go to travel costs associated with the trip, including:
- Flights
- Hotel
- Ground Transportation
- Meals & Incidentals
Additional costs are:
- Vocal Arrangement Creation
- Background Track Production
- New costumes and updating older ones
- Marketing & Planning of Tour
In addition to our Kickstarter campaign, we are seeking additional funding for the tour from corporate sponsorship and our fundraising concert tour of Colorado in May 2014. As of April 1st, we have already raised over $6,000 in private and corporate sponsors! (And that's no April fool's joke.)
Stretch-Fund Goals
If we get more than $11,000, we are going to use that money for Reveille 3 tour related work:
- Extend our stay to include performances for European Veteran's Organizations!!!
- We'll buy a New Video Camera to capture our adventure and create an amazing post-trip video to share with you!
- Modify our sets, props and performance equipment so they can more easily travel.
Thank you! Yes. YOU.
Thanks to you, our community will be bigger and stronger at the end of this campaign! You have our deepest respect and we are committed to honoring these new friendships by fulfilling the promises we made to you during this campaign and with our work in the future!
Welcome aboard the "Company B" Support Team!
Our Sincerest Thanks, Amy, Christine and Marnie
Our Story
2014 is Reveille 3's 5-year anniversary! It's been a beautiful ride of creating music, telling stories and getting to wear our hair in super cool do's! It's also been a lot of work loading equipment in and out of many venues, rehearsing harmonies until we can't think straight and practicing choreography until we are dizzy!
Although we originally got together for a one-time event, Reveille 3 has blossomed to performing over 70 shows a year, regionally and nationally, with our three original shows that tell the stories of women during the 1940s and woven with the music made popular by the Andrews Sisters.
Along the way we have met many Veterans and seniors who are intimately connected to the music we perform. We have spoken with their children and heard the stories of the Andrews Sisters music playing on the radio when they were young. And we've met the Millennial generation who are fascinated with a vintage lifestyle and are reviving swing dancing! And we look forward to meeting many new faces in the future and sharing the music of the Greatest Generation with them too!
Christine Herivel
a.k.a. "The Blonde", Soprano and Founding Member
A Colorado native and a musical theater veteran through and through, Christine has sung her way across the US, Europe, the former Soviet Union and Finland. Along the Front Range, she has been thrilling audiences for 15 years at The Carousel Dinner Theatre, Friends of the Rialto Theatre Center, Augustana Arts, Performance Now Theatre Co. and Evolution Theatre Co. to mention a few. She performed the National Anthem for the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field and performs at her home church regularly. Her sincere and brilliant soprano voice is a treasure she lends to R3!
Amy Siebert
a.k.a. "The Brunette", Alto and Newest Member!
From a young age, Amy has been drawn to the stage! She has performed all across the Front Range, including the Carousel Dinner Theater and Jester's Dinner Theater. Her favorite musical pursuit (aside from the Andrews Sisters and the songs of the 1940's, of course!) has always been a cappella music, and she has been involved in groups in Northern Colorado as well as the Chicago area. Amy brings her knack for choreography and rich, sultry alto voice as the newest addition to R3.
Marnie Ward
a.k.a. "The Redhead", The Other Soprano and Founding Member
Marnie's natural stage presence has landed her appearances at Carnegie Hall, regional musical theatres and as the soprano soloist for the Savannah Symphony. In Colorado, she has been seen at Boulders Dinner Theatre, Candlelight Dinner Theatre, NextStage Theatre and Imagination Makers Theatre. She performs her one-woman cabaret shows regularly around Denver with her jazz trio 'The Little Big Band'. (You gotta catch her Peggy Lee Tribute!) From her cabaret, jazz and theatre credits, Marnie blends her lush soprano voice to round out the harmonies of R3.
Michelle Baldwin
a.k.a. "Her Mile High-ness" and Tour Manager Extraordinaire
Michelle is an expert in the history of burlesque theater and an internationally known author, performer, producer and teacherof the bawdy vintage art form. For seventeen years she has performed with her troupe Burlesque as it Was and as a solo artist in New York, San Francisco, Helsinki, New Zealand and many points in between. As the book tour manager for Fulcrum Publishing, she traveled with authors like former Senator Gary Hart, Presidential Candidate George McGovern and widow of Hunter S. Thompson, Anita Thompson. Michelle is ecstatic to lend her touring skills to the fabulous Reveille 3!
Special thanks to... Adam Bove (videographer), Zorab Ovsepyan (performance video footage), Melissa Frederick Photography (Reveille 3 still photos).
Risks and challenges
As professional musicians and actors, we understand the risks associated with making art. All of us have full lives that include family, friends and businesses outside of touring with Reveille 3. Each one of us has made a personal commitment of our time, energy and talents to ensure this tour is successful.
Travel always presents its own challenges and especially international travel. We have put a number of things in place to secure our travel at a reasonable rate, in a timely fashion and have the resources necessary for our performance support in a foreign country. But, you never know about the weather and since most of our shows are outside for this tour it should prove interesting managing the French weather in June! We think umbrellas and raincoats are in our future!
Lastly, this is our first Kickstarter campaign and although we've done a lot, and we mean A LOT of pre-planning, there will inevitably be some bumps along the way. We have put an amazing support team together to help handle the set-backs that can occur and will also celebrate the things that go right! Cheers!

Sure, we've played games with basically the same premise, location and enemies as Viking: Battle for Asgard, but one thing's for certain, we haven't grown tired of them yet. Battle for Asgard is shaping up to be a must-buy, and with The Creative Assembly, which is responsible for the excellent Total War series, at the helm, we're confident that it will deliver the goods.
The game has a spring 2008 release date, which is great, because we should finally be finished with our immense backlog of games to devote our attention to it.Featured Stories

Eight hundred people in the south are being told they have cancer every week.
Now researchers in Southampton are edging closer to finding a cure for the illness.
A team at the Southampton Cancer Research UK Centre has found that small proteins
called antibodies have the potential to alert the body's immune system to the danger of cancer cells - and trigger white blood cells to spot and destroy them.

We love it! It's hardy and so awesome and looks fabulous in our bedroom! The only thing is that the "picture" on-line looks more off-white than it really is, so I initially purchased the "linen" colored one, then had to send it back and get the white.
But Thank You all for treating me so well and giving me the credit and working with me to make it happen. I am so pleased!!

Dubai: Busy shipping areas pose a serious threat to marine mammals such as dugongs, whales or dolphins.
UAE | Environment
Marine mammal rescue course for better awareness
Dugongs, dolphins at risk in busy shipping areas
- Image Credit: Supplied picture
- Stephen Marsh and others take part in the rescue course.
Knowing what to do if one ever washed up on shore after a collision could therefore be vital to saving what are fast-becoming endangered animals.
Having the skills to save just one can make a difference, said Stephen Marsh, operations manager for the British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR), the primary marine animal rescue organisation in the UK.
"Dugongs, for example, only reach sexual maturity at the age of 16 or 17 years, gestation takes over a year and they give birth to one calf every seven years. If an animal washes up on shore then it's most likely sick and if we can nurse it back to health and put it back in the water it will definitely help the population," said Marsh.
Currently in the UAE, Marsh and his colleague Richard Ilderton, from BDMLR, were invited by the Emirates Natural History Group to host two workshops in Dubai and Abu Dhabi on marine mammal rescue last week.
It was also the topic for a lecture held last Tuesday in Abu Dhabi, organised by the Emirates Natural History Group.
Protected by law
The dugong population in the Arabian Gulf is believed to be the second largest in the world after Australia. For more than two decades, dugongs in UAE waters have been protected by law which prohibits their exploitation. A ban on drift net fishing in the UAE waters has also helped in minimise dugong mortalities.
No statistics were available from the Environment Agency — Abu Dhabi (EAD) on the number of known beached mammals in the emirate or reported beachings in the UAE of any marine mammal.
However, EAD conducted aerial surveys of UAE waters of the Arabian Gulf during the summer of 2000 and winter of 2001 and estimated the population of dugongs to be 1,861.
Around 50 people took part in the marine mammal rescue course which was held in collaboration with the Emirates Diving Association and the Emirates Marine Environment Group.
"There is no infrastructure at the moment for marine mammal rescue. Some of the marine organisations are interested in acquiring equipment which is vital when dealing with such large animals," said Marsh.
During the course, participants were taught handling, lifting and first aid techniques using a life-like and life-sized water-filled model of a common dolphin and helped refloat a two-tonne life-sized model of a pilot whale.
Those who attended the course were also taught how to handle an injured or stranded dugong.

As a parent, you want to make sure that your toddler has the healthiest start possible. But despite your hand-washing and Lysol-spraying, your kid's a sickness magnet. His constant contact with other germ-carrying kids, combined with his immature immune system leads to a bevy of runny noses and throat tickles. Luckily, most toddlers are pretty resilient and most illnesses tend to be mild.
Dr. Mary Ann Block, Medical Director of the Block Center, a clinic for the treatment of chronic health problems in children and adults, notes that not every illness is worth a trip to the doctor. "I remember a parent who brought her 7-year-old child in to see me because she had a fever. I asked why the child was there and the parent said because of the fever," she says. "The child had no other symptoms, was eating and drinking and playing comfortably. This parent didn't even realize that she did not have to see a doctor for this."
Before you make an appointment to see the pediatrician, know the most common illnesses for toddlers—and decide whether or not the symptoms are something that you can treat at home.
Respiratory Issues
From asthma to bronchitis, pertussis and even respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), your child's young lungs can take a beating during cold and flu season. Any infection or virus in the lungs can produce serious coughing and even trouble breathing, making it seriously dangerous for your toddler. If your toddler's having trouble breathing or is producing dry, barking coughs and gasping, make an appointment to see your pediatrician that day.
Any time an illness messes with your toddler's ability to breathe, it's a serious issue. Even if your doctor can't treat the issue in the office, she might send you home with a nebulizer for continual treatments, give you some tips to deal with the illness at home or even suggest a hospital stay for treatment.
GI Issues
The flu, rotavirus, diarrhea and a bevy of other other issues can fall into a category with serious tummy troubles. Your toddler's digestive system can be easily disrupted by a poor diet, a bug or other issues. If your child has a fever, is throwing up or has diarrhea, it might be time to see a pediatrician because these symptoms could lead to dangerous dehydration. Block recommends taking a toddler's temperature and watching for signs of a deeper issue. "For slightly older children, parents can take a 'wait and see' attitude. A fever is one of the body's ways of killing an infection, so unless it is 102 or higher it can be left to run its course. If the child is not drinking and is lethargic, they should see a doctor regardless of what the temperature is."
If your toddler has a runny nose, a fever, complains of aches and chills or a sore throat, a cold's the likely culprit. Colds are most common in the winter months, thanks to indoor play and the sustainability of germs in cold weather. A cold might take your toddler out of the game for a few days, but it's rarely a cause for concern. Unfortunately, signs of other issues can masquerade as cold symptoms. If your toddler has a sore throat and fever without coughing, it might be strep throat and a barking cough without other symptoms could be croup, both of which require medical attention.
If your toddler has a cold, a doctor can't do much to relieve symptoms. Instead, invest in a cool-mist humidifier and offer plenty of warm, steamy baths to help loosen congestion.

text: For generations before us, potatoes represented freedom in a way that growing corn or wheat did not. It truly took a village to bring in a crop of corn or wheat, since those crops are labor intensive and required tools and technologies that were beyond the economic reach of one household. A single sack of seed potatoes meant one thing: self-reliance. A man could feed his family and not worry about starving. The ability to be a completely self-reliant food producer was a hedge against oppression and tyranny.

The Regional finals of 12th edition of The Hindu Young World Quiz-2011, held for the second year in Hubli provided a chance to the students of North Karnataka to showcase their knowledge.
It was that time of the year again when the talented students of North Karnataka got an opportunity to put to test their quizzing skills and thereby take home cash prizes and lots of goodies. Like last year, the event evoked great interest among students, teachers and their parents with as many as 207 teams from 56 schools participating in the event and it was a rewarding experience for everyone.
Mind teasers
Apart from the six finalists, every participant took home a lot of goodies provided by the sponsors and had a taste of what a quiz conducted by professionals would be like. , Quizmaster V.V. Ramanan engaged them with mind teasing questions and giving away prizes for the right answers.
Although the six finalists took time to settle down in the regional finals, it was close competition towards the end. With a difference of only seven points between the top two teams, the last question provided a chance to the second team comprising Vighnesh Hegde and Pranav Pise of Kendriya Vidyalaya No. 2, Belgaum, to 'go for the kill'. However they played defensively and lost the race.
Vishmaksh Kaushik and Chaitanya Hegde of Jindal Vidya Mandir of Toranagallu in Bellary district had the last laugh. Now they get a chance to win the grand cash prize of Rs. 50,000 and Tata Nano cars at the grand finale to be held at Thiruvnanthapuram on November 14.
Kshitij Rathore and Utkarsh Ujwal of KLE International School were second runners up.
Akash Naik and Vinayak M.S. of Kendriya Vidyalaya, Dharwa; Gourav Singhi and Sachin G. Kalburgi of Chinmaya Vidyalaya, Hubli; Anup Patil and Pranav M.M. of Sri Manjunatheshwar Central School, Dharwad, finished fourth fifth and sixth.
Hubli Dharwad Police Commissioner K. Ramachandra Rao gave away the trophies and prizes to the winners and lauded the initiative taken by The Hindu group for providing the students of the region an opportunity to participate in a quality quiz event.
The event is presented by Velammal Educational Trust while Extramarks Education Pvt. Ltd and Indian Overseas Bank are associate sponsors.
The national sponsors are Black Thunder, Gold Winner, Amway, Vizag Steel Plant, Maggi Noodles, Wilco Picture Library, Firefox Bikes, Reynolds, Funfills, Success Note Books, Cricket Caricatures.com, and Penguin Books. Bisleri is the water sponsor, Tata Nano the car sponsor and Real Fruit Juice the beverage sponsor. iAds & Events is the event manager. BSNL, Clarks Inn Hotel, Hubli, JBM Industries, Hubli; Kabir Agencies, Dharwad; Retired Deputy Director of Public Instruction A.S Ramchandra Rao, Dharwad, were the regional sponsors.

Brandon Kintzler RP MIL 5 Days
Kintzler is nearly 100 percent healthy after undergoing offseason knee surgery, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Kintzler was limited by a sore knee for much of last season, but he still made 64 appearances and posted a 3.24 ERA. Now nearly healthy, he feels he has regained the mechanics that helped him post a 2.69 ERA and 1.06 WHIP over 71 appearances in 2013. Kintzler worked primarily in middle relief last season, but if he avoids a setback this spring, he could make a push to be a factor in the late-inning mix.
Brandon Kintzler RP MIL 3 Months
Kintzler (knee) signed a one-year contract with the Brewers on Tuesday, avoiding arbitration, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Kintzler battled neck, shoulder and knee issues last season, with surgery needed in September to repair a left patella issue that had bothered him for close to two years, but the right-hander performed admirably when healthy. He posted a 3.24 ERA and 1.33 WHIP over 58.1 innings, and will likely work in the middle innings again in 2015.
Brandon Kintzler RP MIL 5 Months
Kintzler will undergo surgery on his left patella Tuesday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Kintzler has apparently been bothered by nagging knee soreness for the past two seasons, so he'll finally undergo corrective surgery at the conclusion of the 2014 season. It's currently unclear how this will affect his outlook heading into 2015, but given his health, he should be able to lock down a bullpen spot in the majors.
Brandon Kintzler RP MIL 10 Months
Brewers activated RHP Brandon Kintzler from the 15-day disabled list.
Kintzler wound up missing the minimum 15 days with a mild strain of his right rotator cuff. He posted an impressive 2.69 ERA and 1.065 WHIP in 77 innings of relief last season for Milwaukee, and will be an important part of the Brewers' bullpen going forward in 2014.
Brandon Kintzler RP MIL 10 Months
Brandon Kintzler (shoulder) threw a bullpen session with high intensity Monday and said afterwards that it went "great."
Kintzler will next throw a simulated game Wednesday, and if that goes well he'll be activated from the DL on Friday. The reliever will help set up for K-Rod once ready.
Brandon Kintzler RP MIL Oct 08 '79
According to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, Brandon Kintzler is likely to begin the 2014 season as the Brewers primary setup man, and second in line for saves behind Jim Henderson.
The 29-year-old blossomed in 2013, appearing in a career-high 71 games while posting a 2.69 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 58/16 K/BB ratio in 77 innings. While he doesn't have the typical dominant repertoire of a late-inning reliever, he has shown the ability to get the job done. He's certainly worth a look in the late rounds of NL-only leagues.
Brandon Kintzler RP MIL Mar 06 '79
Brandon Kintzler holds a 4.22 ERA and 1.12 WHIP over 21 1/3 innings.
The 28-year-old righty has been hit or miss this year. In five of his appearances, he's given up exactly two runs each time. In the other 16, he's given up none. Kintzler has six holds on the season, including four in the last two weeks.
Brandon Kintzler RP MIL May 25 '78
The Brewers have promoted Brandon Kintzler from Double-A Huntsville to Triple-A Nashville.
Kintzler was outrighted to the Double-A level earlier this summer after posting some disappointing results at Nashville following his recovery from an elbow injury. He's now beginning to climb his way back up, though we probably won't see him in the majors this season.

Brewers outrighted RHP Brandon Kintzler to Double-A Huntsville.
Kintzler was designated for assignment Thursday and went through waivers unclaimed. He could find his way back to the Brewers' bullpen at some point later this year.
Brandon Kintzler RP MIL Apr 08 '78
Brewers designated RHP Brandon Kintzler for assignment.
He was cleared to make room for the newly-claimed Hector Gomez on the 40-man roster. Kintzler got a late start this season due to a nerve issue in his right arm and has an ugly 5.24 ERA and 15/9 K/BB ratio over 22 1/3 innings between High-A Brevard County and Double-A Huntsville. There's a chance he'll pass through waivers unclaimed.

Cause I'm a Redneck Woman"Submitted by Guest (not verified) on Wed, 09/07/2011 - 4:13pm.
She seems like a class act... Why is she doing the talking? If he feels that strongly about it wouldn't he have a lawyer for defamation? Unless, she is a control freak, that loves attention. Does anyone else think the song "REDNECK WOMAN" by Gretchen Wilson should be playing in the background? Why would this poor guy want to position himself as the laughing stock of the department now after being humiliated by his wife? »

Country Comfort
Nostalgia for the scarcity of the old days,'The Road Home'
By Richard von Busack
AT FIRST, THE BLEAKNESS in Zhang Yimou's The Road Home seems to be preparation for comedy--the aestheticized poverty's a little too extreme. And is it ever aestheticized. The bare hills and bare homes aren't really black and white; the colors should have names, as in a sweater catalog, like "coal" and "snow." An adult son named Luo Yusheng (Sun Honglei) returns to the silent village where he grew up because his father has just died. Luo's mother, Zhao (Zhao Yuelin), wishes, in accordance with the custom, that the body of the dead father be carried from where it lies in the nearby city back home, so that his spirit won't get lost. Couldn't they haul the body on a tractor? the son asks. No, it must be on foot, the mother insists, and the body must be told, "This is the road home!" every mile or so.
From there, it seems, we're about to see a laconic comedy on the subject of superstition and its power to bedevil even those who fled to the city to get away from it. Instead, the movie leads us into a full-color flowery romance set in the 1950s. Once, the crone Zhao was a pink-cheeked girl. This youth is played by Zhang Ziyi, the princess-thief who stole the Jade Destiny sword in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. As she is the prettiest girl in the village, it's her traditional task to weave a red good-luck banner for the rafters of the new village school. But it's the city-slicker school teacher she's really interested in. Shyly, Zhao waits for him, hoping he'll notice her.
The romance wends its way through the rest of the movie, against the pretty hills, the sight of which invites the question, "How did the place get so barren in such a short time?" When nostalgia is this prettified, there's always an agenda at work. What turned the country into the silent village we see was the people leaving for the cities. Note how the director lingers over the village handicrafts: an itinerant peddler mending a broken ceramic bowl with metal staples, the holy-Madonna way Zhao looks when she's photographed through the weft of the fabric she's weaving on a rickety loom.
Apparently, some of the Chinese audience is longing for handmade goods just like their crafts-fair-loving American counterparts--can they be as nostalgic for a more frugal past as we are? Maybe this movie is meant to call people back to the healthy countryside. It's becoming harder and harder for Americans to make this kind of movie with a straight face; maybe it's something else we have to import from China. Ultimately, though, the acting can't sell the fantasy. Gong Li, director Yimou's star in Raise the Red Lantern and Red Sorghum, had the conviction for the suffering of love. Actress Zhang Ziyi may be too light and modern a girl to get into it. Maybe it's just that she's more interesting when she's disobedient. Her character's Lassie-like devotion becomes as irksome as the repetitious score.

Controversial plans to build a 4700sqm Tesco, a four-storey hotel and 269 flats on a Tolworth brownfield site will finally come before councillors.
The site, next to Charrington Bowl, would also include a restaurant, café, and more than 200 parking spaces each for the flats and the supermarket.
A fifth of flats would be designated affordable housing.
Residents are divided by the proposals, submitted a year and a half ago, with Kingston Council having received 50 letters of objection, but 87 in support.
Points of opposition included:
- The new hotel and supermarket would threaten businesses in Tolworth Broadway
- Traffic could increase
- Already-high pollution would be made worse
- The designs are out of character with the surrounding area
Supporters said they would welcome the generation of new jobs, and that the development would boost Tolworth's appeal and levels of trade.
The Chessington District Residents' Association, the Hook Rise South Residents' Association, and the Kingston Society all oppose the plans.
Transport for London (TfL) objects on safety grounds, while council traffic engineers said more thought needed to be given to the development's impact on nearby roads and residential parking.
Applicant Spenhill Ltd is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tesco.
The company has been involved with residential developments in Streatham and Woolwich, and commercial sites in West Bromwich and Sunderland.
South of the borough councillors will discuss the plans at a meeting at 7.30pm on Wednesday, January 15, at Southborough High School.

text: Incorrect. Looking through my Candlelight weekend turnstile handouts from the past 4 years, the parades DID still perform on the Candlelight dates. It's just that the parade route was slightly altered so that the parade bypassed the staging area by not going around the Town Square loop (taking the same route as Celebrate: A Street Party). Instead, the parade was scheduled earlier at 1:00 and 3:00 (normal parade time was 3:30 and 6:30).

Lars Christensen
Lars Christensen (6 April 1884 – 10 December 1965) was a Norwegian shipowner and whaling magnate with a keen interest in the exploration of Antarctica.
Lars Christensen was born in Sandar. Born into a wealthy family, Christensen inherited his whaling fleet from his father, Christen Christensen. He started his career as a ship owner in 1906. He ventured into the whaling industry in 1909, and directed several companies, including Framnæs Mekaniske Værksted, AS Thor Dahl, AS Odd, AS Ørnen, AS Thorsholm and Bryde og Dahls Hvalfangstselskap.[1][2]
Endurance, the ship that became famous after Sir Ernest Shackleton's failed Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1914, was originally built for Christensen, who intended to use her for Arctic cruises for tourists to hunt polar bears. When this did not happen, Christensen sold the ship to Shackleton.
Christensen had a deep interest in Antarctica and its animal life. He was particularly interested in making geographical discoveries, and gave his captains wide latitude to do so. He financed several expeditions specifically devoted to the exploration of the Antarctic continent and its waters, and participated in some of these himself, even bringing his wife Ingrid with him in the 1936–1937 expedition. He was among the first to use aerial surveying with seaplanes to map the coast of East Antarctica, which he completed from the Weddell Sea to the Shackleton Ice Shelf, concentrating on Bouvetøya and the region from Enderby Land to Coats Land. From the seaplane brought on the 1936–1937 expedition, members took 2,200 oblique aerial photographs, covering 6,250 square miles (16,200 km2). Mrs Christensen became the first woman to fly over the continent.
On 1 December 1927, as the leader of one of his financed expeditions, Christensen landed on and claimed the Bouvet Island for Norway; it had previously been claimed by Great Britain, but the British soon abandoned their claim and recognised the island as Norwegian.
On the expeditions he financed between 1927 and 1937, Christensen's men discovered and surveyed substantial new land on the Dronning Maud Land and MacRobertson Land coasts. Places in Antarctica named after Christensen include the Lars Christensen Peak, the Lars Christensen Coast as well as Lars Christensen Land, also known as MacRobertson Land, where the (now closed) Russian Soyuz station operated. In addition, Ingrid Christensen Land was named after Christensen's wife, one of the first women to visit Antarctica.
Together with Otto Sverdrup and Oscar Wisting, Christensen initiated an expedition to recover another famous ship, the Fram. In 1935 the Fram was installed in the museum where it now stands; the Fram Museum in Oslo.
During World War II, Christensen was Counsellor of Finance at The Royal Norwegian Embassy in Washington, DC.[1]
Christensen was also a patron of the controversial Austrian psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich during his exile in Norway between 1934 and 1939. In 1935 he gave NOK 20,000 to Reich to be used on scientific equipment as Reich was establishing his International Institute for Sex Economy.[3]
Christensen was a fellow of the Royal Norwegian Society of Sciences and Letters and received its Gunnerus Medal, and an honorary fellow of the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters. He was decorated as a Commander of the Order of St. Olav and the Order of Vasa, and a Knight of the Order of Dannebrog.[2]
Sandefjord Whaling Museum was donated to Sandefjord in 1917. This was one of the first dedicated museum buildings in Norway. In his travels, Christensen collected a considerable volume of literature, including much on the subject of whaling; his interests included research as well as merely supporting the industry. This material was donated to the library of Sandefjord Museum in the 1920s and 1930s. Christensen also provided funds for the further expansion of the Whaling Museum's library, which was overseen by shipping broker, author and consultant Bjarne Aagaard, whose extensive book collection also formed a major addition to the library.
