Sandra Bullock Wants to Be Removed From Gulf Video
Women of the Storm, the group that produced the video, lists America's Wetland Foundation as a partner. As DeSmogBlog points out, the foundation lists BP and other oil companies as sponsors on its website.
Anne Milling, founder of Women of the Storm, tells the AP that the foundation provided experts and information, but says the video was not funded by oil companies.
In the video, Bullock is joined by a bevy of other stars, many of whom hail from Gulf Coast states. Dave Matthews, Harry Shearer, Blake Lively, Peyton Manning and Emeril Lagasse, among others, ask people to "Be the One" to take action to help fund the environmental recovery effort.
"What can you offer?" Bullock asks in the PSA. "Your voice. Speak up!"
Women of the Storm, a nonpartisan group that has spearheaded recovery efforts for past disasters, is hoping to collect one million signatures. Since the video was uploaded to YouTube two weeks ago, just over 121,000 people have signed the petition on restorethegulf.com.

@alfredschrader, Hey, I'm still waiting to see that display of marksmanship you bragged about on another post. Could it be that you can't do it, and are just a "blowhard" with an over developed sense of your own ability? If I am mistaken, prove me wrong by posting a video of it on youtube.

She is no queen and never will be. We will all be involved in everybody's greed for money. All the people that are responsible for all the offshore drilling for years have made a fortune and changed our environment forever. As for these movie stars who feel it necessary to campaign for whatever they think is their calling at the time, I say who cares. Forget taking Sandra's bleep out of a video. BP will be paying for the destruction they caused for a lot longer than Bulleck will be around. She's nothing but a movie star and doesn't deserve special treatment. Forget it Sandra. You have had enough publicity lately and most of it isn't so good.

Do you really think that BP will be paying for this spill long after Bullock is gone. BP will be gone long before the oil will be. They even announced today that they are pulling back on cleanup efforts. Do the math, how long ago was the explosion, when did they start clean up, how long has the oil been capped.

Sandra is one of the reasons I signed the petition, also because I live in the gulf area. I am just sick of big money using everyone to get more money! Enough already. Business' need to be more responsible and government needs to stop trying to be a business. At some point we need to learn that it is NOT all about the money. It is about the balance of our world. That includes a disrupted inlet of water in New Orleans that could eventually have repercussions all the way to the White House.

This is the most logical and to the point, from the article above material written, that fits the profile, and for prominant people whomever they are, supporting a cause...
Do Not forget these people have monies invested in causes, and the type of monies our government does not give to these causes alone... or shall I say to add to what our government gives to causes which exceeds an expense we have no ideal of what it all includes in clean-up efforts, loss of ecosystem, work, etc. etc.

The only way this gulf gush and coverage gets on screen is with celebraties--Joe Smith and Jane Black will never attract the cameras like a few movie stars, sorry, just the way things work. And, living on the coast, we need all the help we can get now.

Sandra Bullock is a decent human being and doesn't deserve the ridicule here. Just because people are famous for whatever reason, it doesn't take away their voice or their feelings for the country they call home. Perhaps she just feels that any Congressional funding for this is a lot like a bail out for the one's that created this mess out there in the first place. Personally, either way we are all going to pay for it, through taxes if there is Congressional funding or higher gas prices if PB has to pay for it.
- Friday 30 JulyBy Donald Ross
congress has no money, they will get it from us. BP needs to take care of this, and congress needs to see to it. Bunch of corrupt swine. Get out Sandra while the gettin is good.

The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall are due to arrive in New Zealand from Australia tonight.
They will be welcomed by Prime Minister John Key and local iwi at Auckland's RNZAF base about 9.30pm, at the start of a six-day nationwide tour.
Although there are limited opportunities for public glimpses of the couple, Wellingtonians will get the chance to see them when they walk along the waterfront on Wednesday.
Monarchy New Zealand chairman Sean Palmer encouraged New Zealanders to grab the opportunity to meet them. Of all the Commonwealth countries, Prince Charles probably had the most in common with New Zealand values and interests, including conservation and environmentalism.
"He is very likely to be a very clean, green king one day," Mr Palmer said. "He has a lot of similar interests to what is in the New Zealand identity. With Camilla and Charles here, the world's media is going to follow them around and put all of these things out in the media for free."
Wellington Mayor Celia Wade-Brown said it was a chance for the capital to showcase its beauty to a significant international audience.
"A walk along the waterfront shows off the city's attractiveness, the beautiful harbour, our public art and architecture and the diversity of our people."
Wellington City Council spokesman Richard MacLean said every effort would be put into making sure the waterfront looked "spick and span" for the royal walk. The area was perfect for providing good vantage points for large crowds.
Prince Charles last visited New Zealand in 2005. It is understood the duchess has not been to New Zealand before.
AUCKLAND: Arrive at RNZAF base tonight. Tomorrow's visit includes crossing the harbour on an amphibious powerboat, a public walk down Lower Queen St towards Queens Wharf, and a reception and dinner at the SkyCity Convention Centre to mark the Queen's diamond jubilee.
MANAWATU: Visit includes attending the Farmers' Market in Manchester Square, Feilding, on Thursday.
CHRISTCHURCH: Visit includes meeting privately with about 20 people seriously injured in the February 2011 earthquake, visiting earthquake-damaged parts of the city, and attending the 150th Canterbury A&P Show on Friday. They leave from Christchurch Airport on Friday night.
An official welcome ceremony at Government House on Wednesday, followed by a royal salute, artillery salute and flypast.
Prince Charles will be presented with the New Zealand Armed Forces Award recognising his service as Air Commodore-in-Chief of the Royal New Zealand Air Force since 1977.
Official opening of New Zealand's diamond jubilee gift to the Queen, a new visitor centre at Government House. Walk along the waterfront, accompanied by Mayor Celia Wade-Brown and deputy Ian McKinnon, stopping at venues that showcase New Zealand art, culture and history. Prince Charles visits Weta Workshop.
Meanwhile, the duchess attends a reception celebrating the work of women in the community, at Government House.
Prince Charles meets Labour leader David Shearer, followed by Prime Minister John Key.
There's a 64th birthday celebration for the prince, along with 64 other selected Kiwis who share a birthday on Wednesday.
On Thursday, he will meet families of fallen Defence Force members, before leaving for Feilding.

Making his weekly appearance on The Big Show, Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge said that the Celtics, who currently sit seventh in the Eastern Conference with a 14-13 record, "have a tendency to play down to their level of competition," and that he has questioned the team's resolve in the past before seeing them elevate their level of play in the postseason.
Asked about coach Doc Rivers calling out the team's toughness at points this season, Ainge didn't hold back in saying that the Celtics tend to underachieve during the regular season.
"I think it's just focus. I don't know if it's toughness, although I guess it is mental toughness. We do know that this team has the ability to play at a very high level," Ainge said. "They've shown that, and this isn't just happening this year. Last year we started out 13-17, and I didn't think that we had any resolve at that time, and then I thought we had as much resolve as any team I've ever been around the second half of the season, and the same thing the year before when we went all the way to the NBA finals Game 7 against the Lakers. I thought our team in the regular season, we finished 27-27, I felt like we just didn't have that fight, what Doc might refer to as toughness, but then I thought that we played the best basketball of this six-year era since we've had KG. I thought that was the best basketball we've ever played, even to this day, was in the Orlando and Cleveland series.
"I know these players have it within them. I will never doubt that, because they've shown time and time [again] what they're capable of, but they also have a tendency to play down to their level of competition and to pace themselves, for lack of a better term, throughout the course of the regular season."

Elton Jantjies
Emirates Lions head coach Johan Ackermann has named his team to take on the Melbourne Rebels in his side's penultimate Vodacom Super Rugby tour match on Friday.
Ackermann has opted to rotate several players for the match.
In the forwards, Schalk van der Merwe, Armand van der Merwe and Ruan Dreyer will make up the front row. Robert Kruger will start at lock, while Derick Minnie has also been promoted to the starting line-up at flank.
Meanwhile, in the backline, Faf de Klerk will start at scrumhalf with Marnitz Boshoff linking up with him at flyhalf. Courtnall Skosan fills the left wing berth, shifting Sampie Mastriet to right wing.
Elton Jantjies will start at inside centre and Jaco van der Walt will start at fullback for the match.
Kick-off is at 10:40 SA Time on Friday.
Flyhalf Elton Jantjies is enjoying life on and off the field at Japanese club NTT Shining Arcs.
The Lions flyhalf headed to the Far East after Super Rugby and has settled in nicely at his new team.
At the Shining Arcs, he features alongside former All Blacks lock Isaac Ross and former Lions team-mate and USA captain Todd Clever, while he has developed a great relationship with the local players.
Jantjies has also emerged as a pivotal player for the club. He has featured in all their games this season, helping them to four wins from six as they aim to qualify for the league playoffs and All-Japan Championship knockouts.
The Lions have announced their side to take on the Toyota Cheetahs in their final Round 19 Super Rugby match.
Elton Jantjies is selected at flyhalf and Franco van der Merwe gets given a fitting farewell as he runs out for the last time for the Lions before heading overseas.
Lions flyhalf Elton Jantjies is set to head to Japan and won't be available for the Currie Cup later this year.
According to reports, the 23-year-old Springbok has signed a deal with the NTT Shining Arcs.
Lions Head Coach Johann Ackermann has anounced a side that includes a plethora of backline changes from that defeated by the Stormers to take on the Chiefs this weekend.
Elton Jantjies returns at the expense of the tounaments leading points scorer, Marnitz Boshoff, who drops to the bench and in the forwards Warren Whiteley returns to captain the side.
The Lions have named their squad for their difficult tour "Down Under", which kicks off against the reigning chamions the Chiefs on Friday 2 May.
The noticeable absentee (due to injury) is Springbok Franco vd Merwe, who may well have played his last game in a Lions jersey if rumours of a move to Irish club Ulster are to be believed.
With the Lions line out having been somewhat shambolic in recent weeks, his experience will be sorely missed.
The Eastern Province Kings are chasing the signature of Springbok prop Brian Mujati ahead of the start of the Currie Cup.
The Kings have already been bolstered by the recent signings of lock Izak van der Westhuizen (Edinburgh), hooker Michael van Vuuren (Stade Français), centre Tim Whitehead (Sharks), scrumhalf Kevin Luiters (Cheetahs) and wing Paul Perez (Samoa).
Lions head coach Johan Ackermann has made several changes to the run on team to face the Blues at Ellis Park on Saterday.
Marnitz Boschoff reverts to Flyhalf, and there are starts for Willie Britz and Robbie Coetzee among the forwards.
Lions coach Johan Ackermann and his fellow selectors will have a few tough decisions to make this week.
Top of their list will be what to do with Springbok flyhalf Elton Jantjies, now that the pivot has been "medically cleared" to resume playing.
Springbok Elton Jantjies will have to wait a while longer before he will make his comeback to Super Rugby.
Jantjies, with just two Tests but more than 80 first class games to his credit, made a successful return to the playing field with the with the Golden Lions Vodacom Cup team last week – following shoulder surgery in the off-season.
This is the 6th in the series of the Lions Squad Contenders for Super Rugby 2014. We do 2 articles per week per South African Super Rugby participating franchise.
We discuss the players IN the Super Rugby Group, and not all the options beyond that.
In this Article we look at the contenders for FLYHALVES in the Lions 2014 Super Rugby group, and whether they could force their way into Bok contention.
The Lions have half-a-dozen players on their doubtful list, just more than a month away from their return to Super Rugby.
Lions coach Johan Ackermann, in an interview with this website as his team returned to the training field this week, revealed that Springbok flyhalf Elton Jantjies tops the list of injured players.
Injury is likely to rule Golden Lions flyhalf Elton Jantjies out for the remainder of the Currie Cup season.
The Lions took a giant leap in the right direction with the bulk resigning of a core group that includes their Springboks, as they start looking towards their re-entry into Super Rugby.
Springboks Elton Jantjies, Franco van der Merwe and Lionel Mapoe headline the group that will remain with the Lions through till 2015.
MTN Golden Lions head coach Johan Ackermann has announced his team to face DHL Western Province, in round four of the 2013 ABSA Currie Cup, at Ellis Park on Friday evening.
There are a handful of changes to the team that thumped the Vodacom Blue Bulls 62-23 last weekend.
Springbok fullback Jaco Taute has made his stay in Cape Town a permanent one.
Springbok flyhalf Elton Jantjies will play two more matches for the Stormers, before returning to Johannesburg to help the Golden Lions in their bid to regain their Super Rugby status.
The Western Province Rugby Union has plans to offer flyhalf Elton Jantjies and fullback Jaco Taute permanent deals.
The Stormers will welcome back a host of injured players including Boks Eben Etzebeth, Bryan Habana and Elton Jantjies on their overseas tour.
Allister Coetzee named his 22 man squad to take on the Chiefs in the DHL Stormers' first home game of the season this Saturday.
DHL Stormers coach Allister Coetzee has some tough decisions to make this week after a poor showing in key areas last week.
Cape Town – Schalk Burger may be a surprise starter against the Bulls if he comes through fitness tests this week.
Stormers team to face the Cheetahs has been announced with Duane Vermeulen as captain of the side.
In an official Blue Bulls Media release, the Blue Bulls Rugby Union have extended their condolences to Vodacom Blue Bulls player Tony Jantjies, brother Elton and mother Alma on the loss of their father and husband Thomas.
It is reported that Peter Grant may be available for the Stormers as early as 5 February.
Springbok utility back Gio Aplon believes the arrival of Elton Jantjies and Jaco Taute will give the star-studded Stormers backline a newfound attacking zest in this year's Super Rugby tournament.
Last year, this is where I expected the bloggers have a good giggle. This year, we all know the coup pulled off by Allister Coetzee and Co which has, with the signing of one player, completely changed the face of the Stormers flyhalf dilemma of the past.

Toronto weather: Winter ends wet and windy with a chance of snow to start spring
Don Valley Parkway shuts down southbound because of a fatal collision
|Report an Error
Share via Email
View 3 photoszoom
Get ready for the return of the wet stuff on Wednesday, with a tricky commute expected throughout the final day of winter as rain or freezing rain is expected to fall throughout the GTA.
Adding to commuter headaches was the shutdown of parts of the southbound Don Valley Parkway following a fatal collision near Dundas St. early Wednesday morning. One person died in the crash, which has close the DVP's southbound lanes at Bayview Ave. and Bloor St. The lanes reopened at 10:45 a.m.
Rain started just after 8 a.m., and there is a risk of freezing rain as the day evolves. Southerly winds with gusts of 20 km/h are forecast, according to Environment Canada, with a morning high of 1C and a daytime high of 5C in the afternoon. Winds should pick up into the night, with gusts of up to 50 km/h, and more rain.
Toronto remains under a special weather statement while a freezing rain warning is in effect in Durham Region, York Region, Caledon, Newmarket and several other parts of southern Ontario.
School buses in Simcoe County, Kawartha Lakes and Haliburton have been cancelled because of the threat of freezing rain.
Though spring starts Thursday, the day will feel like much of this winter with light and blowing snow expected before possible rain showers or flurries in the afternoon.
Ahead of the turbulent weather, there were fewer than 10 cancellations in and out of Pearson International Airport as of 6 a.m. and none reported at Billy Bishop Airport.
The TTC and GO Transit also are reporting no major delays in operations early on. VIA Rail says a First Nations railroad blockade in the Napanee area, between Belleville and Kingston, has halted trains both ways along the Toronto-Montreal and Toronto-Ottawa routes.

Guest commentary: Will 4A move to the divisional qualifying system?
Tom Smart, Deseret News
While growing up watching "Sesame Street," I remember a song and game, "One thing is not like the other." The challenge for the young child was to identify which one of the four boxes was different.
In the case of Utah prep wrestling, the 4A classification is the outlier. The other classifications have some sort of divisional qualifying system. Meanwhile, 4A still uses the region format.
Since most prep sports are familiar with regions, a quick explanation of the divisional qualifying system is in order.
Basically, it divides each classification into two divisions. From each division, eight qualifiers move on to the state tournament. The only exception among the classifications that use divisions is 1A, where four wrestlers advance to form an eight-wrestler bracket.
Though regions have been around since prep wrestling or prep anything existed, the idea of the divisional qualifying tournament has taken hold and is supported by the vast majority of wrestling coaches, even in the 4A ranks.
The genesis of the idea dates back to the late 1980s when Viewmont head coach Bart Thompson brought up the idea at the annual Utah Wrestling Coaches Association fall meeting. The coaches back then seemed puzzled by the idea and the concept was basically tabled for nearly two decades from serious thought, let alone application. Interestingly enough, Thompson is now an associate director with the UHSAA and will direct the state wrestling tournaments starting today.
But the concept was rejuvenated by the coaches, with Layton head coach John Fager leading the charge. Then a few years back it was the 4A classification that took the first leap, though the implementation of divisionals and keeping region tournaments made for a convoluted system that frustrated many. So as the adage goes, the baby was thrown out with the bath water and 4A went back to regions as the mode to qualify wrestlers for the state tournament.
However, during this time the other classifications moved forward, each dealing with some specific issues in their own way.
For example, 5A sees no need for region tournaments as the region champion is solely decided by dual meet competition. The 2A has a state dual tournament in early January in which every 2A school competes, thus making region tournaments obsolete in their view. And 3A has taken a peculiar path with two of the regions still having region tournaments a week before the divisional tournament while the other two forgo that and use the divisional standings to decide the region trophy.
Despite what format is used, the divisional qualifying system provides some great benefits to the competition.
First and foremost, it deals with the inequities that often exist between the quality of regions. By either combining two regions, as they do in 3A, or by splitting the teams based on a formula that takes into account the previous year's state performance, this combining brings forth the most deserving 16 best wrestlers. In 4A this year, many wrestlers that beat other wrestlers will not compete simply because they placed fifth or lower in a stronger region.
Further, the wrestlers will be seeded in a more uniform way for the state tournament. With regions, the two best wrestlers often meet in the semifinal round instead of the championship round. With divisionals, this problem is alleviated. If the two best wrestlers happen to be in the same division, they will be separated in the state bracket. Of course if they are from different divisions, the champions of each will be separated. But with four regions, the two best wrestlers might be placed on the same side of the bracket. Also, throughout the bracket, one will find better wrestlers meeting earlier in the tournament than if a divisional qualifier was used.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
03 Feb 2012 18:52 GMT | Europe, France
Hacker group Anonymous has released a recording of what appears to be a conference call between the US Federal Bureau of Investigation and Scotland Yard held last month to discuss operations against the group.
The audio of the nearly 17-minute conference call was posted on YouTube along with an email invitation from an FBI agent setting up the call for January 17.
The FBI did not immediately return phone calls or emails asking about the Anonymous claim. A spokesman for Scotland Yard told the AFP news agency: "We are looking into the reports."
The email invites members of European law enforcement agencies to take part in a conference call "to discuss the on-going investigations related to Anonymous, Lulzsec, Antisec, and other associated splinter groups".
The email, with details for accessing the call, was sent to law enforcement officials in Britain, France, the Netherlands and others. The only people who identify themselves on the call are from the FBI and Scotland Yard.
In a message on Twitter, Anonymous posted links to the audio recording and said the FBI "might be curious how we're able to continuously read their internal comms for some time now".
At various times during the call, the British and US participants mention Jake Davis and Ryan Cleary, two British teenagers who were arrested last year over hacking.
Davis is charged with hacking into websites, including that of Britain's Serious Organised Crime Agency, which was out of service for several hours on June 20 after apparently being targeted.
Cleary was detained in connection with a month-long global rampage last year by the Anonymous splinter group Lulz Security.

British Gas customers on line for lower bills as watchdog acts
Friday 07 June 1996
These are the second set of cuts in as many months and, together with tougher controls on the prices charged by British Gas's transportation arm TransCo, will reduce the average bill of pounds 320 by pounds 40 from April next year.
British Gas immediately warned that the proposals, if implemented, would cause a significant squeeze on profits and hamper its ability to compete when the domestic market is fully liberalised in 1998.
Philip Rogerson, deputy chairman of British Gas, said they would reduce the profits of its domestic supply business by 40 per cent from pounds 152m to pounds 90m and require it to reduce costs by 15 per cent between 1995 and April next year.
Although British Gas's response to these latest price curbs was more measured than its reaction to the TransCo proposals, Mr Rogerson said: "Nobody should be under the impression that we are happy. We have been less vociferous only because the proposals are less extreme."
Ms Spottiswoode defended the new price curbs saying: "They give British Gas the freedom and flexibility to compete while protecting consumers."
Ian Powe, director general of the Gas Consumers Council, welcomed the proposals, saying: "This is a triumphant day for regulation and gas consumers." They would, he added, redress the balance of shareholder and consumer interest.
Under the proposals, British Gas Trading must limit price increases to inflation less 5 per cent for the three years from April, 1997. The present price cap is RPI-4. Within the overall cap, however, it will be able to offer different price tariffs to different categories of customer provided that its basket of price stay within RPI-5.
British Gas will also be allowed to pass on to customers the full costs of its massive and loss-making take-or-pay contacts with North Sea suppliers. Had Ofgas decided that these costs could not be passed on, and British Gas had to charge its domestic consumers market rates, then bills next year would have fallen by between pounds 21 and pounds 48. Ms Spottiswoode said the new regime would require British Gas Trading to achieve a 5 per cent annual reduction in operating costs and would allow it a 9 per cent return on capital.
Although tough, the new price curbs are unlikely to prompt a referral to the Monopolies and Merger Commission. However, TransCo still looks certain to end up before the MMC. Mr Rogerson repeated yesterday that the TransCo price curbs were "ill-founded, damaging to the interests of British Gas shareholders and not in the overall best interests of gas consumers".
But Ms Spottiswoode said she had yet to receive any "logical or coherent" response from British Gas. So far all she had received was "a huge emotional barrage".

NanoMedica and Wake Forest receive drug discovery grants

- Email | Twitter | Google+ | LinkedIn
Wake Forest University and research partner NanoMedica have received grants totaling $860,000 to further develop a technology known as Next-Gen Lab-on-Bead that could help speed the search for new drugs.
The National Institutes of Health awarded $700,000 through the Small Business Innovation Research Program, and the N.C. Biotechnology Center provided $160,000 through its Collaborative Funding Grant program.
Wake Forest and NanoMedica scientists describe Next-Gen Lab-on-Bead as a "Google search for new drugs," which makes use of the latest genetic sequencing technologies to test millions of potential molecules simultaneously for the possibility of affecting particular diseases.
"Next-gen is much faster and cheaper, and no one is using it for drug discovery as far as we know," said Martin Guthold, associate professor of physics and co-inventor of Next-Gen Lab-on-Bead. "It miniaturizes and massively parallelizes sequencing on beads in little wells, so we can do millions of sequencing actions in unison to find potential drug candidates to treat a specific disease."
NanoMedica licensed the lab-on-bead technology from Wake Forest and established its offices in the Piedmont Triad Research Park in 2010. CEO Roger Cubicciotti said advances in genetic technologies hold great promise for the search for new medicines.
"We have made a major commitment to purchasing expensive equipment that's beyond the realm of most startups, and that's a risk we took because we are confident that applying next-gen sequencing to drug discovery is really novel," he said.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used as credit towards that service with that business for an additional three months.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher as credit towards a bungy jump, for another three months.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Kelly's World Cup Music Video by Entertainment 6/25/10 0 Shares Like us on Facebook Not to be outdone by Weezer, R. Kelly has released his World Cup tribute, "Sign of a Victory."

KUCHING: The state government should allocate a piece of land to
be used as the site of the Heroes Grave.
In making this call, DAP Dayak Consultative Council chairman John Brian said this would make it more convenient for the public to pay their respects at the burial ground for all those who had been bestowed with gallantry awards.
"The only issue is the religious sensitivity involving the exhumation of those buried elsewhere.
"Another thing is about the design of the headstone," he told a press conference here yesterday in response to the question of why Iban hero, the late ASP (Rtd) Wilfred Gomez Malong, the recipient of the country's highest medal of valour Pingat Gagah Berani (PGB), was not laid to rest at the Heroes Grave.
"There is no criterion set on who should be buried at the Heroes Grave, which led to many questioning the inconsistency?
"Could it be that Gomez used to be the secretary-general of PBDS during its days as the Opposition?" John said.
Sarawak Ex-Policemen Asso-
ciation chairman Datuk Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar made a similar call recently that it was high time for
a policy to be made to allow
all national heroes who fought against terrorists and communist insurgency to be buried at the
Heroes Grave.
Due to no policy on the matter, Junaidi — who is also Dewan
Rakyat Deputy Speaker and Santubong MP — said even till now, nobody knew the criteria regarding who should be buried at the Heroes Grave.
Prior to Gomez's demise, the
late Datuk Temenggong Kanang Langkau, who was recipient of the PGB and Seri Pahlawan Gagah Perkasa awards, was laid to rest at the Heroes Graves in full military honour.
On another matter, John also proposed for the revival of the Sarawak Rangers whom he said were the best jungle trekkers in the past.
"It can be revived to be a ceremonial unit," he said.

San Francisco company Scribble Technology has revealed a prototype for a writing device that can scan specific tones and then write in the same colour (+ slideshow).
Scribble is the "world's first colour picking pen" according to its inventors Mark Barker and Robert Hoffman, who launched a fundraising drive to manufacture the tool on Kickstarter earlier this week.
Related story: Pen that doodles 3D objects attracts $500,000 on Kickstarter
It features an integrated scanner that works with a colour sensor and microprocessor to detect colours.
Coloured ink stored within the case is mixed to the matching tone and dispensed through the nib like a standard pen for writing or drawing.
The pen's inventors say it can store over 100,000 unique colours in its internal memory and reproduce over 16 million unique tones.
"For the colour blind, kids, interior decorators, homeowners, teachers, artists, photographers, designers and students, the Scribble colour picker pen will make copying an exact colour, any colour from any object, an absolute breeze," said a spokesperson from Scribble.
"With Scribble you can scan, match or compare colours, draw on paper or your mobile device."
The pen is small enough to fit into a pocket or small bag.
A Scribble Stylus that will pick up colour and transfer it to an app via Bluetooth also lets users match colours for drawing on a smartphone or tablet device.
The Scribble+ app allows colours to be named, tagged and organised into sets to make them easier to search for. Stored colours can also be shared with others using Bluetooth.
The product reached its crowdfunding goal of $100,000 (£60,000) within five hours and more than tripled its target, but Scribble Technology cancelled the funding yesterday after Kickstarter requested a more illustrative video demonstrating the device.
Plans to re-launch the product with a more detailed video are underway, with a date yet to be confirmed.
A few devices that could change the way we draw have launched on Kickstarter over the past couple of years. A pen that lets users draw solid 3D shapes in mid-air was funded in May and another implement that can "print" 3D drawings attracted nearly $500,000 in one day from backers last February.

Catholic Recipe: Cold Glazed Baked Ham
This ham is especially recommended for Easter Sunday morning on our Brunch menu. The ham is baked and glazed the night before, and served cold the next day.
Make a golden glaze by blending 1 cup light molasses and 1/2 cup prepared yellow mustard. One hour before ham is done, remove from oven and score fat surface in diamond pattern; stud with whole cloves; brush with glaze, and return to oven to finish baking. Chill overnight. Slice to serve.Recipe Source: Cook's Blessings, The by Demetria Taylor, Random House, New York, 1965

Melbourne : Mongolia with Tim Cope
Wednesday Feb 20, 2013 06:00 PM
Join Tim Cope- Australian Adventurer of the year [06] who has spent over five years travelling in Russia, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine by bicycle, row boat, skis, horse and camel for a fascinating evening on this remote part of the world. As our specialist guide, Tim will talk about the next trek he is leading for World Expeditions - our upcoming, once in a lifetime trekking experience in western Mongolia.
From Ulaan Baatar to Ulaangom in the west's greater Alai range, home of the Khotont people, we trace the Harhiraa river gorge to reach a spectacular 3000m pass between Harhiraa and Turgen peaks. Tim will give you a snapshot of the Harhiraa's wide open slopes, nomadic people, deep river gorges, alpine lakes, and the inspiring, glacier capped peaks of Harhiraa and Turgen. The second part of this trek introduces you to the Kazakh people who are renown eagle hunters and trainers. To find out more about them and the other wonders of Mongolia you will first have to come to this information night and then go trekking in Mongolia!
