SEATTLE -- The new lion cubs at Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle made their public debut over the weekend. The two males and two females are three months old.
They're doing quite well outside, said Pat Owen Woodland Park Zoo Collection Manager. Adia, the mother, has done a great job taking care of them. This is her first time being a mother and she's done great - especially with four cubs.
Owen said four cubs for a first-time mother is quite a bit, but from day one, Adia knew exactly what to do.
It didn't phase her in the least, he said.
According to animal management staff, the cubs are doing exactly what they should be doing at their age - playing, romping around and exercising predatory instincts such as mock stalking, pouncing and biting.
The zoo is holding a contest to name the cubs.
Two of them will be named from the naming contest and two will be named internally, said Owen.
Get contest details at www.zoo.org/lioncubs
Owen said eventually the cubs will go to other AZA-accredited zoos.
But that probably won't happen until at least 18 months old, he said.
The cubs and mom are scheduled to be on view from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily in the lion shelter, located in the African Savanna. Viewing hours may vary or may be canceled for the day due to weather and veterinary examinations, and will increase as the cubs continue growing.

Two married sergeants major made Marine Corps history when they retired in a dual ceremony Friday morning.
With more than 60 years of combined service, Sgts. Maj. Bradley and Holly Prafke retired moments apart during a ceremony on the flight line of Marine Corps Air Station New River.
"We're totally excited about being retired after 30 years because it gives us 60 more years of leave," joked Sgt. Maj. Holly Prafke, 49, of
"I wouldn't have it any other way."
The Prafkes have been married for 27 years of their respective careers, and their dual retirement marks the first time the Marine Corps has conducted a same-day retirement of two Marines married to each other who both achieved the rank of sergeant major.
Both Marines were decorated Friday. Bradley Prafke received the Legion of Merit and Holly Prafke received the Meritorious Service Medal. Both received certificates of appreciation from President Barack Obama and messages from the commandant and sergeant major of the Marine Corps.
"We've thought about the tours we've had to combat and we're just glad we can look each other in the face and be healthy," Holly Prafke said. "We've had some rough times, but we've had some great times. We've been to schools together and the drill field together. There's been bad times, but far more good."
Whether it was a physical fitness test or grades in school, part of what has made the Marine Corps and their marriage so enjoyable for 27 years is the friendly banter and competition between them, she said.
"He's my biggest fan, my best supporter and my best friend," she said. "We've grown up together — not apart."
Meeting when both were lance corporals, the two became best friends even before courting. The most difficult part of their careers and marriage came from the years spent apart because of Marine Corps obligations, Bradley Prafke said.
"Out of the 27 years, we've only been together for 16, whether it's due to combat, the field or other separations," said Bradley Prafke, who relinquished his responsibilities as sergeant major of Marine Aircraft Group 29 to Sgt. Maj. John J. Elliot moments before retiring. "...We both are Marines so we both understood when the other had to work late or deploy."
Both plan on "paying it forward" by involving themselves with
"We are different people than we were 30 years ago," he said. "I'm very humbled by the comments made by some of the people. You never really realize what people think of you until it's time for you to leave."
The couple said they will miss the Marine Corps as a whole, but are excited about their future together in retirement.
"We didn't start out trying to make history," Bradley Prafke said. "...Through our career of getting promoted, she was always ahead of me. But I get the last laugh because I'm senior now."

After three nights of meetings this week, the Onslow County Adjustment Board continued its lengthy public hearing until the end of March to determine whether a mining company can build a rock quarry in Maple Hill.
Martin Marietta Materials has applied for a special-use permit to build a 1,800-acre limestone mine off N.C. 50 near
So far, the more than a dozen hours of testimony during the quasi-judicial hearing has involved testimony and cross-examination of witnesses from the mining company. A geologist and hydrologist testified Monday and Tuesday that the proposed mine wouldn't cause damage to the local aquifer that supplies most area residents with tap water and wouldn't necessarily increase sinkholes.
On Wednesday, Jim Kleckly, an economics professor at
Kleckly said aggregate would be needed for the 30,000 new homes projected to be built in
"How much growth will we have if the aquifer runs dry?" asked
Detwiler also pointed out that all of Kleckly's data used in his reports was supplied by Martin Marietta.
Adjustment Board Member Alex Wood asked Kleckly about studies that showed scarcity of aggregate could improve blight by forcing property owners to remodel houses instead of buying new ones. Wood said the more expensive aggregate was, the better it was for property owners.
Kleckly answered it wasn't.
Busby asked whether she included the 200 trucks that would enter and leave the mine each working day as a factor of whether the mine would be harmonious with existing neighbors.
She said she did; Busby indicated that it was not in her report.
Lawyers with Martin Marietta refused to rest their case until the public hearing resumes in four weeks. They asked that the hearing transcript be sequestered until the next meeting.
The Adjustment Board ruled that the transcript belonged to the board and no copies would be given to anyone until the entire public hearing is complete.
The board suspended the public hearing until March 25. The meeting will resume at in the Onslow County Superior Courthouse.

Great news! President Obama's newly released FY 2015 budget proposal once again includes a request for Congress to block spending by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to inspect U.S. horse slaughter plants. If adopted, this prohibition would effectively ban horse slaughter on U.S. soil through September 2015 because only USDA-inspected meat can be sold for human consumption.
The President's request reflects the will of the Congress, whose FY 2014 spending bill, passed in January, included the same language. (The inspection-defund language was initially introduced in the House and Senate by Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA) and Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) as an amendment to the FY 2014 Agriculture appropriations bill.) However, the FY 2014 spending bill expires this September, which is why it's critical to get the measure extended via the FY 2015 budget.
"We are grateful to the White House and USDA for their continued leadership in ensuring that American horses are not slaughtered on our own soil for foreign demand, especially in light of the recent news from Europe about the horrors of discovering horse meat mixed with frozen lasagna and other meat products," says Nancy Perry, Senior Vice President of ASPCA Government Relations. "Wasting tax dollars on the cruelty of horse slaughter makes no sense, and we urge Congress to once again adopt this provision."
Help us ensure that Capitol Hill hears the message to protect our horses, both here and abroad! The pro-slaughter industry will lobby intensely against this newest effort to prohibit federal dollars from being spent on horse slaughter, and our goal is to stop all American horses from experiencing the horrors of slaughter wherever it occurs, so we must continue to press for passage of the SAFE Act to ban horse slaughter permanently.
This is good news but will be better when The Safe Act to ban horse slaughter permanently comes into affect !!!
thank you for this article and for keeping the need to pass the SAFE act in the forefront of people's attention. When the U.S. prohibits the transport of horses to slaughter to Canada and Mexico, the world will be closer to abolishing horse slaughter everywhere.
This is all well and good, but in rural areas like where I live it leads to horses starving to death when owners are forced to decide between food for their families or food for the horses. Our local animal shelters are not equipped to handle horses, and even our state ASPCA chapter has no room for them. So, instead of these owners having an outlet to have these animals put down, they are forced to allow them to starve to death. And before you get on your soap box with the holier than thou argument that "if you can't afford the animal, then you shouldn't get it" you need to first realize that most of these animals were bought when owners were doing well for themselves and feeding their animals was no issue, but with the state of todays economy what you could afford comfortably yesterday can become a burden tomorrow through no fault of your own.
I'm going to get on my "high horse" and tell you the owner IS responsible, by animal cruelty laws, to take care of their animals, and if they think they are broke now, just wait until they have to pay fines and/or serve jail time for their acts of stupidity. If people reach out to authorities and ask for help, help is there in many forms, including humane euthanasia, regardless where they live. You are dead wrong to believe that slaughter is an outlet for the poor starving horse – there could be nothing further from the truth. Allowing a horse to starve to death is a very cruel and selfish act of a person who should not have owned them in the first place regardless of their financial status before and now. Most people who live in very rural areas that own animals know how to humanely kill by bullet, as sometimes they have no choice, so why starvation, I don't understand that? Imagine the kind of person who could look out their window every morning at their starving horses in their pens slowing dying and have no compassion, what a pathetic excuse for a human being.
Loretta, you are one thousand percent correct. I grew up on a huge farm with many different types of animals. Not once did my parents allow any animal to
starve. Not just my parents either, all the surrounding farms cared for and protected their animals. Farm & ranch people do not acquire animals to watch them starve.
Well said! As with dogs and cats leaving them at a kill shelter or horses sent to auction, they have to hit the equivalent of a jack-pot in the lottery to end up in a good home! I agree, it would be torture for a loving owner to stand by their animal as they are euthanized but I would chose my own suffering before I would make one of my animals go through this kind of nightmare or watch them starve!!!
Not slaughtering on American soil is only a piece of the puzzle but nevertheless, it is vital!
I am glad we don't slaughter horses on our soil but! I am appalled at the way they slaughter in Mexico, that is where our horses are going, the large gathering of free range horses by the a government that can't take care of them, is a recipe for shipping them to Mexico, go to a horse auction and see how many meat buyers are there. We kid our-self when we think our loved horses and ponies are going to great homes, I would rather see them put down humanly than to go through that pain and confusion
Sandy, I totally agree. If you can't keep a horse, can't sell it or give it to a good home then humanely put it down. Sending it to an auction for the few hundred you might get for it only guarantees it will enter the slaughter pipeline and be on a road trip to Canada or Mexico. To bad the auction houses can't keep the kill buyers OUT !
I think that the US government should make a bill that protects all wild horses. They are the american symbol and they deserve to run wild and free like they have for hundreds of years. I do not see why we need to slaughter them and send them to mexico and canada for this. I feel that the government should have hundreds and thousands of acres of protective land for these beautiful priceless animals. Im curious who's idea it was to start capturing them and slaughtering them? I had heard a few issues about the wild horses drinking the water from farmer cattle. I also had heard about them being expensive to keep protected? I just don't understand why it would not be a priority to protect all the wild horses.
There is a bill that is supposed to protect our wild horses and burros on BLM land. Because the government has allocated so much federal land to cheap grazing leases for cattle and sheep, the horses are being eliminated. The BLM has been influenced to find ways around the law. The non-slaughter regulation needs to be backed up with a provision to prevent our horses from being shipped across the borders to Canada and Mexico for slaughter. This is worse for the horses because they often spend days in transit in cruel conditions without food or water only to end up at slaughter in countries over which we cannot regulate slaughter methods.

Tele Atlas N.V. proposed offer update
Sep 24 2007
This is a joint press release of TomTom N.V. and Tele Atlas N.V. pursuant to the provisions of Section 9b subsection 1 of the Dutch Securities Trade and Supervision Decree 1995 (Besluit Toezicht Effectenverkeer 1995). This is not a public announcement that a public offer is to be made. Any offer will be made only by means of an offer document to be issued prior to the commencement of the offer period. Not for release, distribution or publication, in whole or in part to Japan or Canada.
TomTom N.V. and Tele Atlas N.V. announce that the national competition authorities have approved the request of the parties for the transaction to be referred for review to the European Commission ("EC").
TomTom N.V. and Tele Atlas N.V. intend to publish an offer memorandum for the intended recommended public cash offer for all outstanding shares of Tele Atlas N.V. at an offer price of € 21.25 in cash per ordinary share (the "Offer") on 2 October 2007.
With reference to the press releases dated 23 July 2007 and 21 August 2007, TomTom N.V. ("TomTom") and Tele Atlas N.V. ("Tele Atlas") jointly announce that on 21 September 2007 the national competition authorities have approved the request of TomTom and Tele Atlas for the transaction to be referred for review to the EC. This request was made by the parties in order to allow the EC to review the transaction rather than submitting separate filings to different national competition authorities. The parties are in the process of filing the transaction with the EC. In addition, preparations for filing with the U.S. competition authorities are ongoing.
In compliance with the rules of the Dutch Securities Trade Supervision Decree 1995, TomTom expects that an offer memorandum containing the definitive terms and conditions of the Offer will be published on 2 October 2007 with the transaction being completed by the end of 2007.
The acceptance period during which the shareholders of Tele Atlas can tender their shares to TomTom is expected to begin on 3 October 2007 and is expected to end on 4 December 2007, unless extended in accordance with section 9o, subsection 5 of the Dutch Securities Trade and Supervision Decree 1995. TomTom and Tele Atlas are aiming to obtain approval of the transaction by the EC and US competition authorities by 4 December 2007, but it cannot be excluded that the competition proceedings will continue after that date. In this scenario, TomTom expects to extend its tender period.

Isn't there something in the Ten Commandments forbidding the bearing of false witness?
I ask that question simply because countless holier-than-thou extremists of the political right have been complaining for the past few days about the alleged failure by President Obama to give thanks to�God in his�Thanksgiving statements.
For example, the headline on THIS PIECE on the Fox News Web site�reads: "Obama's God-Less Thanksgiving." And the story begins with this paragraph:
Yet again, President Obama�s Thanksgiving message eschewed any direct reference to thanking God, making this the fourth straight year in which the President of the United States has ignored ...

MAPLE VALLEY, Wash. A Maple Valley woman was the passenger in a taxi cab involved in a fiery crash in Las Vegas Thursday.
Sandi Sutton-Wasmund of Maple Valley was among three people who died after a violent scene played out on the Vegas strip.
There was an altercation involving a man named Kenny Cherry in the valet area at the Aria resort-casino. It escalated and spilled into the street in the pre-dawn hours Thursday, according to police.
More: Rapper, cabbie meet violent end together in Vegas
Investigators said Cherry was driving northbound on Las Vegas Boulevard in a silver Maserati when he was hit by gunfire from someone inside a black Range Rover. Cherry s car spun out of control into a taxi cab and several other cars. The taxi cab caught fire. Cherry was pronounced dead.
Michael Boldon was driving the taxi, and his one passenger was Sutton-Wasmund. The two innocent victims did not survive.
Sutton-Wasmund worked with the Maple Valley Black Diamond Chamber of Commerce. She also co-owned a Maple Valley boutique called The Dazzled Dame. Her friends remembered her Friday night.
She was the heart and soul of our community, said Sue VanRuff, the Executive Director of the Maple Valley Black Diamond Chamber of Commerce.
Sutton-Wasmund was described as a tireless volunteer.
She was a great teammate and could always be counted on to help, whether it was staying up all night as a volunteer for the annual Hooked on Fishing Derby at Lake Wilderness or making phone calls and ringing doorbells to ask voters to support Tahoma levy measures, said friend Kevin Patterson.
She made many friends and overcame many obstacles. She lost her mother and sister to breast cancer. She was a two time breast cancer survivor, according to family friends Gary and Mindy Habenicht.
I cannot believe she is gone, said Mindy who added that the 48-year-old mother of three always lived life to the fullest.
I know she was a first round draft choice in heaven today, said Gary. She was something else. We will miss her.
Sutton-Wasmund's family issued this statement:
On behalf of Sandi s family, Sandi was a loving wife, mother, daughter and sister. Her innocent and tragic loss will be felt by all of those who knew and loved her and by the community at large. Her family appreciates the outpouring of love and support, and respect for privacy shown throughout this very difficult time.
Sutton worked for the Maple Valley Black Diamond Chamber of Commerce. Executive Director Sue VanRuff released this statement Friday evening:
Words cannot express our loss and grief. Sandi exemplified the heart and soul of our community. She was much loved.

I've lived in Paris for nearly ten years, which some folks think is a magic kingdom in itself. And although I've been to the Louvre, Rungis, the Musée d'Orsay, and the crazy-giant Tati store at Barbès, I've not been to Disneyland Paris – until now. I'd been to the one in southern California as a kid, back when Disneyland featured things we never dreamed of even seeing. Although my memory doesn't go all that far back, things like telephones that didn't have cords (or dials!) and home computers, (like mine, with a broken iiiiiiiiiiiiii key) were just nuggets in someone's imagination.
Back then, at Disneyland, IIIIIIIIII was toting an instamatic cameras with 4-sided flashcubes and if you accidentially dropped a gum wrapper, someone was right behind you to sweep it up. And way-back-when, there really were "E tickets". Now if you say to someone that something is an e-ticket, whereas it used to mean that you were in for an interesting, thrilling, or expensive experience, nowadays it likely means you're going to be stuck in a grim airport for a few hours.

Food Allergy Bullying on the Rise
Jackson Tichenor was scared. The fourth grader from Stillwater, Minnesota, was walking back to class after lunch when a couple of students ran up to him. "We ate peanuts! We ate peanut M&M's. And we're going to breathe on you!" they said. As they leaned in, Jackson, 10, thought the peanuts could trigger an allergic reaction, and that no one would know how to help.
He fled to find the school nurse – as his mom had told him to do if he ever felt unsafe at school.
Cheryl Dorsey was volunteering on a first-grade field trip with her daughter Anna's class in Huntington Beach, California, when a girl took a sandwich from her lunch bag and waved it in Anna's face.
"I brought peanut butter; you can't eat peanut butter!" she chanted. Shaken, Dorsey quickly moved her daughter, who is allergic to dairy, peanuts, tree nuts and sunflower seeds, to a picnic spot away from her classmates. And then she quietly told the other girl, "It is not nice to bully people."
Bullying isn't nice, and can be downright dangerous when it's coupled with the risk of anaphylaxis, a life-threatening condition that can be set off by trace amounts and accidental ingestion. A study published in the Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology in October 2010 found that an astounding one in three children with food allergies has experienced bullying, harassment or teasing because of their allergies – most of it occurring in the supposed safety of school.
From the humiliation of taunts like "peanut kid" to the terror of an allergic reaction, the emotional impact of bullying just adds to the stress carried by allergic kids – and their parents. What's more, says the survey's lead author, Dr. Scott Sicherer, comparison to an earlier study showed that food-allergic children in Grades 6 to 10 were more than twice as likely to be bullied as non-allergic students.
While the prevalence of allergy bullying seems high, it didn't surprise Sicherer, an allergist and professor of pediatrics with the Jaffe Food Allergy Institute at New York's Mount Sinai School of Medicine. He has been hearing bullying stories for years from the kids and parents he sees in his practice. Sicherer even speculates that, since the roughly 350 responses to the survey were almost entirely from parents, there may be even more incidents than the data captured, as some kids don't tell.
(The survey grouped the terms bullying, harassment and teasing in order to cover the big picture, so it did not isolate bullying in its specific sense: repeated behavior that is intended to harm, occurring where there is an imbalance of power. However, the survey did find that the behavior was repeated in 86 percent of cases.)
Despite the numbers, the deliberate targeting of kids with food allergies seems to slip under the radar of many in the education system. We raised the question with about a dozen experts from across North America, including teachers, principals, an anti-bullying parent advocate, a school board trustee, and a safe-schools supervisor. All were highly aware of both anaphylaxis and bullying issues, but none had heard of the link between the two.
Ask someone in the allergy community, however, and the floodgates open. Parents have traded harrowing stories on the Allergic Living Facebook page: a bully licking an allergic child's pencils and erasers after consuming an allergen; one child chasing another with his allergen; students handing out a packaged snack in class and refusing to let an allergic child read the label. Staffers at the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network (now known as FARE) and at Anaphylaxis Canada also report hearing numerous stories of bullying.

OK, trying to figure out the state bowl game picture is either very easy or more complicated than the BCS, depending on how much weight you place on the common opponent question. Right now, it looks as if Birmingham only has to worry about Corona Centennial because it beat Long Beach Poly, quite convincingly, in Week 1.
Corona Centennial of course, beat Crespi, the team that beat Birmingham in a Week 0 game, so Corona Centennial would probably get the nod, if common opponent was the deciding factor.
But, how do you evaluate Centennial's loss to Mater Dei now that Crespi came back and beat Mater Dei last night? And what if Crespi then goes on to beat Servite and Long Beach Poly? Birmingham beat Notre Dame, which beat Servite… See where this is going? And you thought the BCS was complicated.
Birmingham's best argument is it's quality wins over Poly, Notre Dame and Valencia. It should also push the argument that it's going to be a long time before the City Section has another team that has as good a chance to compete against DLS.
Centennial's best win was over Crespi, and to a lesser extent, Norco. And that win over Crespi is looking better and better by the day.
Of course, both teams will need to win Section titles, so all this could be moot if one loses.

LUMBERTON — Robeson County Commissioner Hubert Sealey wants the county to look more closely at providing its own non-emergency convalescent ambulance services before extending the contract of MED1, the county's current provider.
Sealey on Monday was the only commissioner to vote against extending MED1's two-year contract when it runs out in June.
A vote on extending the contract would have to be taken again at the next commissioners meeting because a unanimous vote was needed to approve the contract on the first reading. On the second reading only a majority of the eight commissioners would have to vote in favor of the contract for it to be extended for two years.
"True, there are funding issues," Sealey said. "But I think we need to look at the county taking over these services rather than having it done by a private company."
Greg Bounds, director of the county's Emergency Medical Services, told the commissioners that with the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, he does not feel the time is right to expand services provided by the county.
"I don't feel comfortable with it," Bounds said. "I don't want to take a chance that we could fail."
Bounds said that MED1 has done a good job since July 2012, when it took over the county's non-emergency convalescent ambulance services from American Medical Response, a national company that held a contract with the county for 13 years.
MED1 has efficiently answered 10 to 15 emergency 911 calls and 950 non-emergency convalescent ambulance calls each month, according to Bounds.
"Since they have been here they have assisted with the evacuation of a nursing home and I have monitored their ambulances. Everything has been satisfactory," Bounds said. "I've had no trouble. They have met (requirements) of their contract."
In other business, the commissioners on Monday:
— Named retired Superior Court Judge Gary Locklear as the county's interim attorney.
Earlier this month the commissioners accepted the resignation of Doug Murray, who had been serving as interim attorney since the resignation of longtime County Attorney Hal Kinlaw in June. Murray resigned to become a magistrate in Brunswick County.
Although Kinlaw officially resigned the position he held with the county since 1990, County Manager Ricky Harris recently confirmed that Kinlaw is still working for the county on a retainer of $5,000 a month. Kinlaw is finishing up county cases that he had started before his resignation, Harris said.
"I am grateful you placed your trust in me." Locklear told the board. " … But I want to make it clear that I don't want this as a full-time job and would not take it if offered."
— Authorized County Manager Ricky Harris to write a letter to the state Department of Transportation requesting that a speed limit study be conducted for Great Marsh Road in St. Pauls.
Phillip Marks, pastor of Pleasant Grove Missionary Baptist Church, told the commissioners that there have been several accidents near his church on Great Marsh Road.
"We want the DOT to do a thorough study of speed on Great Marsh Road and install speed limit signs," he said.
Commissioner Lance Herndon, whose district includes St. Pauls, said that the DOT and has assured him that a speed limit study will be conducted.
— Approved 52 community development fund transactions totaling about $18,000. Disbursements ranged from $25 to $2,500.

Barely a week before the fourth anniversary of Mumbai terror attack, a convict in the attack and Pak national Ajmal Amir Kasab was hanged to death at Yerawada jail in Pune at 7.30 am this morning. Kasab's death sentence was confirmed by the Supreme Court earlier this year. Kasab had sought presidential pardon, but it was rejected earlier this month.
It has been proved now by our agencies that if anyone attacked India, not only are they responded by
Doctors pronounced Qasab was dead after he was duly hanged as per process.
In absence of a hangman to execute the death sentence of Kasab, the terrorist was hanged by the officials from the Yerawada Central Jail.
The highly placed sources in the jail said, "The hangman of Yerawada jail had retired and the position is vacant for the last some years. However, there is no law that only hangman can execute a death sentence. Therefore the decision that Kasab's death sentence will be executed by a jail officer was taken and Kasab was hanged around 7.30 am."
Kasab's mercy petition was rejected by the President Pranab Mukherjee on November 8.
Shiv Sena MP and spokesperson Sanjay Raut said Kasab's hanging was a true shraddhanjali to his party chief Balasaheb Thackeray.
Kasab's dengue was, after all, a clever ruse used by the authorities, who checked if Kasab was medically fit for hanging.
It is now being revealed that Kasab was checked in the guise of dengue and was declared fit. It's mandatory in India to check the convict before he is hanged.
Sushil Kumar Shinde spelt out the reasons for secrecy over Kasab's hanging. He said the government didn't want any untoward incident and hence it was carried out in a secret manner.
'India should end death penalty'
Hours after Kasab was hanged in Pune, Human Rights Watch urged India to remove the death penalty from its legal framework.
'Pak refused to accept letter on decision to hang Kasab'
India had informed in advance Pakistan and the family members of Ajmal Kasab about the decision to hang the 2008 Mumbai attack terrorist but Islamabad refused to acknowledge the letter, the home minister said.

Kasab was 'denied a fair trial': Pak media

Kasab, the only one among 10 Pakistani terrorists caught after the 2008 Mumbai terror attack, was "quietly hanged" in Pune, about four years after he was caught during the killing spree, Geo News reported.

Our mission as I see it, is to get the ball rolling on a world government. How can massive amounts of money help us towards this end? We could buy a poor country and run it scientifically (This country could not be a democracy). What this would mean is that every single choice this government made would be made with the ultimate goal of improving the well being of humanity. How would this start us on a path towards a world government? When the people of the world see the overwhelming positive effects that this system of government has on our country and on the rest of the world, they will have to admit that a scientifically run government is better for humanity than democracy ever was. The people of the world would freely vote to give up their right to vote, in favor of having our country's government run their countries as well.
It seems only reasonable to think that in order to get to the goal of having a world government, we need to be working from within a system that already has the correct laws and policies.
If the money is spent how it no doubt will be spent, by reinvesting in The United States and helping the poor, some good will be done. But it will not have any effect on people's beliefs or on the way they vote. It will go largely unnoticed by humanity.
I am open to criticism, but only from people who already realize that Sam is correct about morality, there is no reason to have that discussion here.

A Threshold Model for Respondent Heterogeneity
2011, Marketing Letters
Sandeep R. Chandukala, Sylvia Long-Tolbert, Greg M. Allenby
Continuous models of respondent heterogeneity assume the existence of a response function where variables of interest are continuously related to explanatory variables. In many situations this assumption may not be true. In this paper we propose an approach of modeling respondent heterogeneity that identifies abrupt changes in the distribution of response coefficients around a threshold specification. Our model differs from traditional threshold models by introducing the threshold effect to describe across-unit behavior as opposed to within-unit behavior. We illustrate our proposed Bayesian threshold model for survey data from a large national retail bank that examines the effects of service wait times on customer satisfaction. We find evidence of a threshold effect where long in-process wait times are associated with bank branches characterized by weak associations between service quality drivers and overall perceptions of service quality. Branches with wait times below the threshold are found to have much stronger associations.

Comments about Dainty WhisperLite® Wig by Paula Young®:
I wear a wig everyday because of very thin hair. This wig is very easy to style right out of the box and it looks so natural and I love the length. Most people can not believe that it is a wig. I get so many compliments. I hope if they are discontinuing this one that they come out with something just like it or I will just be lost.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Just my style!
By Clay
from Folsom, LA
Love the fit. Just the right amount of hair, looks natural. Falls naturally in all the right places. Back lays comfortably on neck. Hair is soft and realistic. No one knows its a wig. Color matches my own to a tee! Never had thick hair on top so this works just right for me.

The wig is nice looking but the bottom of it hangs too straight and longish for me. I'm 82 years old and don't look right in the wig. If the bottom was rolled under like the photo, it would be perfect.If your company had a wig that turned under I'd like to exchange it for the one I did buy. Can you help me please?
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

RICHMOND-- The Virginia House of Delegates gave initial approval Monday to a proposed state law that for the first time would spell out a legal definition for bullying.
The law would define bullying as, Any aggressive and unwanted behavior that is intended to harm or humiliate the victim; involves a real or perceived power imbalance between the aggressor or aggressors and victim; and is repeated over time or causes severe emotional trauma.
The bill also includes cyber-bullying on social media sites and excludes ordinary teasing, horseplay and arguments.
Kendall Clark, who serves as a Hampton Roads presenter for the national anti-bullying campaign Rachel's Challenge, praised the house panel's action.
'I think that's great because they realize there is a serious problem with students being scared to go to school, ' Clark said. 'A lot of people don't realize that 160,000 students a day skip school because of fear of humiliation, fear of being picked on, teased, or made fun of. So, I believe it's great the state is actually saying this is a problem, this is something we need to address.'
The House Education Committee passed House Bill 1871 by a vote of 18 to 3.
Hampton Roads lawmakers Bob Tata and Chris Stolle of Virginia Beach and Daun Hester of Norfolk voted in favor of the bill.
Delegate Brenda Pogge, who represents James City, York and Newport News, voted no.
The measure now goes to the floor of the full House Delegates.

Staff Writer
In May 2010, Craig Schweitzer came in second to Andrew Brenner in the Republican primary election.
Schweitzer, the owner of Columbus business Outdoor Living by Mr. Mulch, hopes to improve on his performance this time around.
Schweitzer, 40, of Liberty Township screened last Friday for an endorsement in his bid for state representative from the Delaware County Republican Party. He has not filed his official paperwork but also held a fundraiser Friday and told the Gazette he is in.
"I feel I have a passion for the Statehouse," Schweitzer said.
Brenner, now the incumbent state representative from Powell, also screened with the county GOP last Friday.
In Republican-dominated Delaware County, challenging an incumbent can be politically risky; the local Republican Party generally tries to ensure people in elected office stay there.
But in short, Schweitzer thinks he has support, and stands a good chance at winning the primary election, he said.
"Yes, he (Brenner) is vulnerable," Schweitzer said.
Part of Schweitzer's confidence comes from how he performed in the 2010 Republican primary, in which six candidates sought an open state representative seat. Schweitzer, in his first foray into politics, lost by 282 votes to Brenner, then a multiple-term Delaware County recorder.
While he didn't win, Schweitzer performed well in the vote-rich southwestern Delaware County precincts near his home. He won most of the precincts in Liberty and Orange Township, many by wide margins, as well as some Orange Township precincts.
Schweitzer thinks new legislative lines that redefine Brenner's district will only work in his favor. The newly-renumbered 67th house district drops eastern Delaware County, where Brenner enjoyed strong support in 2010, thanks in part to his involvement with the Eastern Delaware County Republican Club.
In contrast, Schweitzer has lived in the Olentangy school district since 1997 and has kids attending school there. He thinks this gives him an edge up over Brenner, who grew up in Kingston Township and lived in Delaware city before moving to Powell two years ago.
"From the numbers standpoint, the way the new district is defined, I win," Schweitzer said. "If you go count raw votes last time using the new lines, I beat him by 200 to 300 votes."
As Brenner sees it, he has lived in the new 67th district longer than Schweitzer has, he told the Gazette in an email.
"Mr. Schweitzer clearly does not know my background. I went to elementary school (in the Buckeye Valley school system) within the 67th district — that's how far back my roots go within this district. I have been a Delaware County resident since 1971 (when I was born)," Brenner said.
Schweitzer also expects to benefit from his unsuccessful election effort, emerging as a more experienced and savvy politician. He has learned from his 2010 campaign, and has since formed relationships with the Republican political establishment in Delaware County. He was selected an at-large member of the Delaware County Republican Party's Executive Committee.
"The first time around, (the county GOP) had absolutely no idea who I was. But now I've built a lot of relationships and really gotten to know a lot of people. I think that's critical," Schweitzer said.
Schweitzer said he and Brenner don't differ significantly on many political issues. He is hoping his strength of personality, business experience and involvement with the community will separate him.
"We're both conservative Republicans. But the Statehouse as a state representative goes beyond that. It's not just that you vote the right way. You have to lead," Schweitzer said.
Brenner touted his own business record. Prior to his election as Delaware County recorder in 2004, he managed a mortgage business and owned a property management company with his father.
He said he has regularly met with business owners as a state representative, and supported business-friendly legislation while in office such as proposals to phase out the estate tax and the replacement of the Ohio Department of Development with JobsOhio.
"When I was Recorder, I led the county and State of Ohio in converting to (electronic filing of records), and have been one of the voices for pro-business, conservative legislation in the Ohio House. It's one thing to say you're a leader, and it's another thing to have a long track record of sticking your neck out on issues to do what's right. I have the latter," Brenner said.

Gavrielle B. shared the following story with us about meeting Chelsea, a spunky little dog at the ASPCA Adoption Center, after waiting years to meet her perfect puppy match. As it turns out, Chelsea was well worth the wait.
We had wanted a puppy for years, and adoption was the only option for us. We knew we wanted to adopt a female puppy that would grow up to be a small to medium-sized dog. When Chelsea's litter became available, we visited the Adoption Center and Chelsea's golden coat and spunky personality won us over.
We had never adopted before, and we visited the Adoption Center for the first time in September to start looking for a puppy. We went back to the Adoption Center to walk through the available dogs once more before finally meeting and taking home Chelsea.
The adoption process was surprisingly straightforward and quick. Before we met Chelsea, a behavioral specialist gave us lots of information about typical traits of her breed so we knew what to expect. We also really enjoy going to puppy kindergarten every week where the behavioral specialists help us train Chelsea as she gets older.
We spoil her with toys and attention. She loves running back upstairs after her walks outside to play at home. Chelsea is the princess of the apartment and she knows it!

It was only after I learned that the stomach of the lionfish could expand up to thirty times its original size that I had a clear vision of the Apocalypse: when the world ended only two animals would survive, the tenacious cockroach (one of which had recently survived a dive to 90 feet for 45 minutes and then happily scampered out of my dive bootie onto the deck of the boat) and the voracious lionfish.
When I arrived in Utila, an island off of Honduras to begin my divemaster training, all I knew about lionfish is that they were an invasive species with a fan of stunning but venomous spines. However, that all changed when I met Andrzej Narozanski of the Utila Centre for Marine Ecology. Narozanski, who coordinates the Utila Lionfish and Capture Program, has been tracking the population and distribution of lionfish since they arrived in Utila in April of 2009. He regularly gives presentations at the fifteen dive centers on the island.
While lionfish in their native habitat have predators and
larvae drift below the ocean surface for 25-40 days, quickly spreading lionfish populations to virgin habitats.
For example, lionfish were first spotted in the Bahamas in 2004, and now there are 390+ per hectare. Unchecked, lionfish devour all fish in a given area and can reduce the biomass of their prey by 40-90% in less than four years. In addition, in Utila they are now colonizing mangroves and sea grass, which serve as nurseries for reef fish. This poses a substantial threat to the future of reefs around the Caribbean.
Kill ém with Spears
To combat this problem Narozanski began working with the Honduran government to pass a law allowing divers to use spears to kill lionfish. The law was passed in March of 2010, and since then dive operations on the island have encouraged divemasters in training, divemasters, and dive instructors to spear lionfish with Hawaiian slings.
Although it takes a fair amount of work to clean the spines off the lionfish, their flesh is tender and tasty. At the dive shop where I completed my training, dive masters would often clean and fry lionfish for lunch or dinner.
On a typical day Narozanski, who is the only member of the Utila Center for Marine ecology who works with the lionfish prevention program, completes several dives and fish surveys. As he described, "A single fish survey takes about 15 minutes, and the rest of the dive I'll swim around and look for lionfish."
In addition, he is collecting and analyzing data about lionfish distribution in Utila. He works with local diver centers to collect data, and when he gives lionfish presentations he asks divemasters and instructors to keep track of the location, number, and size of lionfish at specific dive sites around the island.
Eating the Spines
"Queen triggerfish also eat urchins, so I think they've go an idea of how to deal with the spines," explained Narozanski. While out spearing lionfish he also discovered that moray eels and spotted eels eat speared lionfish. These fish and eels appear to be learning how to eat the lionfish without getting poisoned by its venomous spines.
According to Narozanski, "We have a report of a queen triggerfish hunting, catching, and eating a live lionfish." This provides some hope that local populations of fish can be trained to become predators of lionfish.
Given that all lionfish populations in the Caribbean originate from a small gene pool, Narozanski also believes that a weak gene pool could eventually make lionfish susceptible to disease. The weak gene pool is also evident in lionfish behavior. For example, the first time I went lionfish hunting, I threw my spear directly at the lionfish three times while it floated calmly in front of me.
After the third attempt, it finally swam into a cave. Although it takes some practice to become effective at using the spear, the lionfish is a generally sluggish target. On my second attempt at spearing a lionfish, I descended with a group of divemasters, and a queen triggerfish and a grouper immediately followed us.
When a diver speared a lionfish, I watched the queen triggerfish and the grouper fight over it. The queen triggerfish began to munch on the lionfish slowly while trying to avoid its spines. However, within seconds the grouper came along and swallowed the lionfish whole.
Due to the success of the program in controlling lionfish populations, other islands following suit. For example, the Cayman Islands recently began using Hawaiian slings to hunt lionfish.
When I asked Narozanski about the potential success of the program in five to ten years he replied, "It's quite difficult to predict. In the presentation that I gave you, I used the Bahamas as the case study of what can really go wrong if you don't put a lot of effort into trying to control them. However, the more I speak to people in the community who take part in this program, they say that they're
In an effort to get all dive operations involved in lionfish control and to promote education and awareness, Narozanski organized the first annual Utila Lionfish Derby that took place on April 29, 2011. Local dive shops competed as teams to see who could catch the most lionfish. Of course, the derby ended in a lionfish feast, a celebration in which locals and divers ate their reef healthy.
Getting There
Delta Airlines has a flight out of New York City that stops in Atlanta and arrives in San Pedro Sula roughly seven hours later. A round-trip ticket, for a May departure, was recently priced at $430. Charter flights from San Pedro Sula to Utila cost around $100 and are available most days of the week through Atlantic Airlines or Aerolineas Sosa.

Why aren't there more ebooks?
Posted by: heather on Mar 09, 2012
Tagged in: Interesting Tidbits
eBooks are a hot commodity. With many having received an e-reader of some kind as a gift over the holidays, the library community is seeing a massive jump in the number of requests for ebook services. Our own Washington Anytime Library (via Overdrive) has seen an unprecedented number of checkouts and holds since the holiday, and it shows no sign of letting off.
In the meantime, we're seeing patrons a tad dismayed by increased wait times and also that they can't find certain books in the digital format.
Unfortunately, our hands are tied:
"Sadly, unlike a regular person, a library cannot pay Amazon or Barnes & Noble for an eBook and then lend it out to people. We can buy a printed book from these companies, place it on the shelf, and lend it out--but digital content is being treated differently by the publishers and the companies who manage digital content licensing." (Sacramento Public Library, "Why aren't there more eBooks?")
This makes it tough for us to fulfill your needs. Currently, there are five publishers who are refusing to provide viable solutions for libraries:
- Macmillan
- Simon and Schuster
- Penguin Group
- Hatchette Book Group
- Brilliance Audio
It's just the tip of the iceberg, however:
- Librarians Feel Sticker Shock as Price for Random House Ebooks Rises as Much as 300 Percent
- Publishers vs. Libraries: an eBook Tug of War
- Major Publishers Pull Plug on New eBooks for Lending Libraries
- Why eBooks still Roil the Publishing World
- eBook Publishers Want Library Borrowing to Be Difficult
Do you think this is wrong? We do, too. If you want to help, we encourage you to make your discontent known by contacting these publishers to let them know what you think.

MTR 71-II Low Women RRP $ 99.00
Pared down to the essentials – making it light and comfortable! Open-pored and robust vent mesh for effective ventilation and rapid drying time. The patented Mammut Rolling Concept and the excellent gripex Sonar sole technology with its all-round safety and grip concept. The wedge is made from ultra-lightweight injected EVA IP.This comfortable shoe also features liquid rubber and an all-round Hybrid Shell made from stabilizing synthetic leather. Reflective elements help to keep you safe in the dark.
Shoes must be protected from water, wet conditions and dirt. Since wet conditions and dirt affect leather's natural properties, such as temperature control and comfort, shoe care is a very important area.
- Use a brush to remove any dirt, or brush the shoe under running water to remove persistent soiling
- Leather cleaning products are not recommended since the soap damages the waterproofing treatment
- After cleaning the shoes, rub in the appropriate wax or silicone-based care products or polish them using a soft brush
- Dry leather needs nutrients in the form of wax (no grease or oil). Apply a very thin layer and then work into the leather
- The application of wax makes nubuk or velours leather appear darker and smoother. Liquid care products maintain the leather's original appearance for longer, but provide fewer nutrients
- The best way to clean the lining (textile, GORE-TEX® and leather) is using lots of cold water and a sponge. The lining retains high quantities of salt from perspiration. In the long term, these can have a damaging effect on textiles and leather lining materials.

Abeer Sabri takes off her hijab
Actor Abeer Sabri announced that she had taken off her hijab (Islamic female headdress), because she could not live up to the responsibility it demands.
"When I took off my hijab I was able to stand up for myself," said Abeer, adding that wearing a hijab and then not was a "most unusual experience."
She encountered difficulties getting roles in television and films while wearing a hijab, said Abeer, which influenced her decision.
According to the London based Elaph, Abeer said that she will never work with producer Ahmad Al Sabki again after the dispute that erupted between them over the editing of most of her scenes from the film "Nour Ayni" (The light of my eyes). The film was screened last month and Abeer has described it as the biggest mistake of her career.

Mr Christian, if u are a muslim, your submission to God is total, you follow his rule, simple. If you follwo your personal desire, that is a different case altogether.
still, she needs to thinks again.
Dear Muslim commenters, do you really think a piece of cloth gets you to paradise? You seem to have quite a superficial understanding of God.
The Bible, on the contrary, says: "Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." (1 Samuel 16:7)
Please learn to respect other people, even as they make choices which you do not agree with. Let Abeer Sabri wear whatever she likes. Threatening with hell is just vulgar and primitive.
To the comment above^ u are absolutely right..What if tomorrow Is yur last day in this dunya ? Yur career won't benefit yu in the slightest bit as yu take nothing with u to ur grave but ur deeds
Please Abeer, think again, this world is temporary. Your hijab would not stops you from reaching whichever stage you want reach
So you have taken off you hijab for the glitter of this world....which by the way is only a fleeting moment. What are you going to tell Allah aza wajal when you have to stand before Him on the last day? Perhaps you are going to tell Him that you preffered the glitter over the Ahkirah.

Yes, a little bulky but definitely worth it when you finish up a day of hiking. Easily attaches to the outside of a pack if you can't fit it inside and the added weight isn't anything to worry about when you find yourself at a camp with nowhere else to sit.
I use this chair just about anywhere. Very comfortable and great back support. I'm 5'11" with short legs. :)Best part is that I can use it inside the tent, but you need to put down something soft on the ground before the chair. You don't want to rock it to poke hole on bottom tent. I can read this book for hours feeling comfortable inside the tent as well as outside. Great chair sitting on ground, bench, and on rock.
I was given one of these as a christmas gift. I never thought I would use this, but after a long day of walking I cant wait to use this. You dont think you will need it or want it but you will. The build quality of this is great just like any other moosejaw brand item.
For realz though, you can't go into a wilderness trip without this. It doesn't matter if you're kayaking, canoeing, backpacking, or canyoning- this is the original camp chair and nothing else comes close. Seriously- I've used this on ten day trips like it's the king's throne. Comfy, adjustable, waterproof, and it does a pretty good job at holding anything that won't fit into your pack, too. GET IT or be square, y'allz!
I personaly would not tote this on my back out walking. However my sister likes to watch her daughter play volleyball on the bleachers and was sitting up on the top row as to have the wall to support her back. Now she can sit anywhere she likes. She said it works well, maybe she is just saying that, I don't know. Seemed well made, I think they also make a special "bleacher" model?
This chair is pretty much the bomb yo. Yeah its totally gnarly and radical, tubular too. Ok that is my extent of early 90's vernacular. The chair holds up to pretty much anything, including fat people who like to lean all the way back and try to break it. NO SIR says this chair, perfect for the campfire in any weather. I used it winter camping in the adirondack mountains and it kept my butt warm. perfect!!!
