The Tanzanian government's plan to build a 31-mile highway into the Serengeti would devastate one of the planet's last great wildlife sanctuaries, biologists warned Wednesday.
The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) are requesting that the Government of Tanzania reconsider the proposed construction of a commercial road through the world's best known wildlife sanctuary—Serengeti National Park.

Researchers reported on Wednesday that numbers of wild grazing animals in Kenya's world-renowned Masai Mara National Reserve have fallen substantially in 15 years as wildlife competes with neighboring human settlements.
Tourists to Kenya's Masai Mara game reserve have been reluctant to visit since last year's violence in the area, resulting in an economic slump in the 510 sq km area known as the Mara Triangle.
NAIROBI (Reuters) - Five men armed with guns and machetes ambushed and robbed nine tourists returning from an evening game drive in Kenya's world famous Maasai Mara game reserve, police said on Tuesday. One of them was injured with a machete cut.

HOUSTON Fast-food workers and labor organizers from Houston joined other protesters across the country Thursday in support of higher wages. Organizers planned walkouts and rallies in 100 cities and at the height of the lunch rush in Houston, workers began walking off the job in southwest Houston.
The actions marked the largest showing yet over the past year. At a time when there s growing national and international attention on economic disparities, labor unions, worker advocacy groups and Democrats are hoping to build public support to raise the federal minimum wage of $7.25, or about $15,000 a year for full-time work.
They felt their compensation should be doubled to $15 an hour, feeling that would be a living wage. Protesters said a pay raise could actually save taxpayers money, lessening the amount of public assistance that the working poor need. Others say they can barely get by.
Seven twenty-five is not enough. I mean, I have a child on the way right now and as it is, I can barely support myself with the money. You know, it s almost slavery, said Armando Moreno, a Jack-in-the-Box employee.
I have daughters and they, my daughters, go to this school but I need more money because I have necessities, said Luis Ortiz, who works at Burger King.
In New York City, about 100 protesters carrying signs, blowing whistles and beating drums marched into a McDonald s at around 6:30 a.m.; one startled customer grabbed his food and fled as they flooded the restaurant, while another didn t look up from eating and reading amid their chants of We can t survive on $7.25!
Community leaders took turns giving speeches for about 15 minutes until the police arrived and ordered protesters out of the store. The crowd continued to demonstrate outside for about 45 more minutes while a handful of customers remained inside. A McDonald s manager declined to be interviewed and asked that customers not be bothered.
Tyeisha Batts, a 27-year-old employee at Burger King, was among those taking part in the demonstrations planned throughout the day in New York City. She said she has been working at the location for about seven months and earns $7.25 an hour.
My boss took me off the schedule because she knows I m participating, Batts said.
She said she hasn t been retaliated against but that the manager warned that employees who didn t arrive on time Thursday would be turned away for their shifts. Batts said she can get only between 10 and 20 hours of work a week because her employers don t want to give her enough hours to qualify as a full-time employee. Under the health care overhaul, employers will be required to provide health care coverage to full-time employees.
Despite the growing attention on economic disparities, the push for higher pay in the fast-food industry faces an uphill battle. The industry competes aggressively on low prices and companies have warned that they would need to raise prices if wages were hiked. Most fast-food locations are also owned and operated by franchisees, which lets companies such as McDonald s Corp., Burger King Worldwide Inc. and Yum Brands Inc. say that they don t control worker pay.
However, labor advocates have pointed out that companies control many other aspects of the operations through their franchise agreements, including menus, suppliers and equipment.
Fast-food workers have historically been seen as difficult to unionize, given the industry s high turnover rates. But the Service Employees International Union, which represents more than 2 million workers in health care, janitorial and other industries, has been providing considerable organizational and financial support to the push for higher pay over the past year.
Berlin Rosen, a political consulting and public relations firm based in New York City, also has been coordinating communications efforts and connecting organizers with media outlets.
The National Restaurant Association, an industry lobbying group, said most those protesting were union workers and that relatively few workers have participated in past actions. It called the demonstrations a campaign engineered by national labor groups.
In the meantime, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has promised a vote on the wage hike by the end of the year. But the measure is not expected to gain traction in the House, where Republican leaders oppose it.
Supporters of wage hikes have been more successful at the state and local level. California, Connecticut and Rhode Island raised their minimum wages this year. Last month, voters in New Jersey approved a hike in the minimum to $8.25 an hour, up from $7.25 an hour.

The woes of BP's oil spill are still making headlines these days. After several unsuccessful attempts at capping the oil spill, British Petroleum (BP) is still unable to stop the oil from flowing in the water. With liabilities expected to reach several billion dollars, investors have been selling off BP's stock, which has caused it to decline almost 50% from its highs in April. The uncertainties regarding BP's future liabilities, have caused the Obama administration to push for a dividend cut, in order to ensure that the company would have the cash to pay its obligations.
Right now British Petroleum (BP) is generating profits in excess of $6 billion/quarter, paying out $2.6 billion in dividends and reinvests the rest in the business. The oil spill so far costs approximately $1.5 billion so far, but the overall liability could exceed tens of billions of dollars. The biggest risk is not that the environmental cleanup will be very expensive, but whether BP would be required to pay punitive damages for compensation to thousands of small business owners in the Gulf affected by the oil spill. BP had approximately $12.20 billion in cash and short-term investments at the end of Q1 2010, which should be sufficient liquidity provided that punitive damages are not imposed. Without the push from the US government, the oil spill would not have cost too much. However, given the pressure from the Obama administration, the total cost of the cleanup could definitely balloon and become excessive enough to even put the company in jeopardy.
Sometimes, despite the company's ability to pay dividends, the strong hand of the US government could temporarily disallow its dividend payments. Back in 2009 this was the case for some of the strong banks such as State Street (STT), US Bancorp (USB) and Wells Fargo (WFC). Because the government imposed on to them to take TARP funds and asked them to conserve cash, these financially sound institutions had to drastically reduce distributions.
While there are thousands of fishermen and business owners who would be negatively affected by the oil spill, there will be millions of retired investors worldwide whose lifestyle would be negatively affected by a potential dividend cut or suspension.
Times online reports that on Monday, BP's board will hold a teleconference and will discuss compensation and whether to suspend dividend payments. Suspension or a cut in the dividend would affect millions of British and American investors. Only a few months ago, BP was Britain's biggest company with its dividend payments accounting for almost 14% earned by UK pension funds. "BP is preparing to defer payment of its next dividend to shareholders by placing the money in an escrow account until the full scale of the company's liabilities from the disaster can be determined, The Times has learnt. "(Times online)
If dividends are suspended, many investors would probably exit the company. I would also sell my position in BP should the dividend be cut or suspended. Since the oil spill has not been fully contained so far, the liabilities that BP faces could not be calculated. Because of this, chances are that dividend payments might remain suspended or cut even after a few years after the environmental disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.
British Petroleum could learn from the experience of Exxon Mobil (XOM), which was deemed by the US Supreme Court to be "worse than negligent but less than malicious" after the Exxon Valdez oil spill off Alaska in 1989. Exxon eventually paid only a fraction of the $5 billion fines originally imposed, and in 2008 it reported the highest single-year profit in American history.

Oh, the poor investors! :-(ReplyDelete
Let me just say two things: First, I can only hope this company goes down the drain and that the investors (and hopefully also the government) hold the irresponsible and incompetent management accountable. Second, if you let your lifestyle depend on a company whose businessmodel's foundation is basically destruction of this planet, you shouldn't be too surprised about some negative side-effects.

The Exxon Valdez litigation was only recently concluded, even though that incident occurred over 20 years ago. Talk about "justice delayed is justice denied!" I hope that the U.S. government will learn from the Exxon travesty & will take aggressive steps against BP to ensure that innocent Gulf victims are made promptly whole for their damages, both economic & environmental. If that means forcing BP to suspend or reduce dividends or freezing BP's assets, so be it. That may be inconvenient for investors, but investors should not be the highest priority of our government & legal system. Artificial limits on BP's liablity, including limits on punitive damages, are unfair to the real, innocent victims & would encourage reckless behavior by exploiters like BP. Right now, our nation's economic well being demands that BP's assets & insurance proceeds be made available for prompt payment of the massive damages caused by BP.ReplyDelete

You have stated that you will sell your position in BP if/when the dividend is cut or suspended. It is reasonable to assume that the stock price would be hammered if that comes to fruition, and people selling at that point might suffer a significant capital loss.ReplyDelete
The source of the pressure on the dividend is an extraordinary event, as opposed to a general failure of the business itself or the economy. That is, assuming that BP isn't punished out of existence, its long term prospects of paying its dividend would seem, to me, to be ok.
The current spill, as it is yet ongoing, will be significantly worse than the Valdez spill. However, you correctly point out that Exxon not only survived (paying less than the actual damages levied) but thrived in the long run.
You also pointed out the very significant role BP plays in the UK economy. While I expect that BP's liabilities will be huge, I also expect the UK to protect BP from outright death (in whatever way it can, without looking like it is siding with a villain).
IMO, the probable risk is a suspension of the dividend, followed by a reinstatement as a reduced rate (something more in line with the other major oil companies). The question is, if we originally planned a long time frame on holding BP, would it hurt more to take the capital loss now, or to lose dividends for perhaps a year or three?
Didn't BP just say that they had no explanation for the recent fall in their stock price? How reassuring!ReplyDelete
What a disappointment to see the short-sightedness of the public as politicians, lawyers and media are milking this story for their own benefit. BP is doing all it can to repair the mess in the midst of this lynch mob, having been made a convenient scapegoat for being a "foreign company". Little to nothing has been said on the role played by Transocean or US service companies such as Halliburton that were in charge of critical operations. Luckily BP isn't a bank that needs a bailout from taxpayers for the mess it created. Public cries to destroy the one entity best equipped to deal with the situation are therefore like shooting oneself in the foot. Ultimately, the consumer wants oil and that's why BP, along with others, are drilling for it in the Gulf. This comes with risks that the very same consumers are apparently unable to face when this close to home. Although the end responsibility lies with BP, a proper inquiry should reveal a more subtle outcome - whereby others involved (including regulators) carry some of the blame. This is why the litigation and criminal charges wont be the straightforward "guilty on all counts" verdict that politicians and media are prematurely circulating. As for suspending the dividend for a couple of quarters, it makes no difference at this stage. The uncertainty of what populist threat or action the government comes up with next to punish BP is what's killing the share price. All the rhetoric is doing nothing to restore the environment or lives of those affected. A sensible handling of this tragedy will prevail in the end, once the focus has shifted from vilifying one company to understanding and fixing all that went wrong. Meanwhile, I continue to add to my position at these bargain prices.ReplyDelete
BP Dividend cut not legalReplyDelete
Wednesday June 17th
06/17/2010: In regards to the BP dividend cut. I agree BP should cut future dividends to ensure immediate liquidity for dealing with the spill. I venomently disagree, however, with the canceling of the 1st quarter dividend scheduled for payment June 21st, 2010. This dividend has already been declared. I submit that the declaration of dividend and subsequent announcement of payment date constitutes a legally binding contract between BP and the shareholders. It is my contention that at the time of dividend declaration the funds are set-aside in a kind of escrow account and the funds are then actually owned by the shareholders, not the company. The company's books confirm this as the monies are handled as a liability from this point until the payment date when this legal liability is removed from the company's books.
If this skullduggery is allowed to set a legal president, the stock market is surely broken. The market value of stocks with dividends is affected by the cycle of dividends. If an announcement of dividend and subsequent determination of shareholders of record and the setting of payment date are not legally binding, then we are to assume business in this country is conducted on a good faith wink and a nod and not rule of law. I submit that the flamboyant announcements made by our president and the CEO of BP yesterday, amounted to throwing stockholders under the bus. I contend the dividend scheduled for payment June 21st is not BP's to give with or without the theatrical appearance of coercion by the U.S. government. It is my opinion that this entire charade was intended to take the spill clean up funds handily out of "small people's" pockets, not BP's. Is it coincidence that thos "meeting" was scheduled 2 1/2 business days before payment of dividend was to be made. I would be interested in hearing from others on the legal issues proposed here. I am not a lawyer and only have referenced the many legal blogs available on the web. If I am wrong, there are a whole lot of websites which need to change their legal definitions. The consensus of these references (including some legal dictionaries), will all, without exception, need to change their views, because they support my argument 100%.

i hate wind!!!!!!
i hate wind!!!!!!
Well its already been a long morning.... I should of done something other than sit here on the computer but....
Maybe I will get all my painting done this week. I sure hope so. Although talking about it, does not make it so. I need to actually do the work.
See ya later.
Is it Monday already?
This has been a Filmways presentation dahling.
♥ "Don't care about all the pain in front of me'Cause I'm just trying to be happy." ♥
It is Monday... but its almost over!!!
But now since I've been awake since 4 AM my brain is fading and I'd better get to bed...
Sorry I can't hang out and chat Ash!!!! Hopefully tomorrow will be a chill day at work and I'll have some energy left to hang out for a bit, providing I don't get distracted with something else!
Alrighty then. I better snooze myself. Catch ya later
♥ "Don't care about all the pain in front of me'Cause I'm just trying to be happy." ♥
Tuesday! Doing a part shift at the hospital today! Oh goody! At least the wind isn't blowing 900 MPH this morning... so far. Daughter got some snow yesterday I think because I saw on FB someone else up there said one of the passes is closed.
*sigh* I'd love to hit the lottery and move back home but it would take hitting the lottery because I'd have to be a snow bird and come back to CA in the winter....
Today is the day that the furnace man is finally going to come and do the Tune Up on the furnace, and the boiler in the basement. The Boiler heats my tenant's apartment, and the furnace heats mine. They said between 8 o'clock, and one p.m. If they come early enough, I just might take a trip to Kohl's, to spend the $40 that I have in Kohl's Cash. I want to buy a different clock for the bathroom.
Happy Tuesday. Biggest Loser is on, but I will have to watch it tomorrow, on my computer, because I have decided against purchasing a television for a while.
Woke up to some rain today. Just enough to clean the air.
This has been a Filmways presentation dahling.
I just want to say as I fly through on my way to getting ready for my next job, that the new Jello commercial where the guy turns into a bird with a human head is one of the most disturbing commercials I've seen in a good long while.
And I want some rain. But I want it when I don't have to work so I can enjoy it.
So the furnace man tells me that I have a gas leak, and then he nonchalantly goes about fixing it. It was very strange. I guess, I should be thankful that it wasn't a disaster in the making. Instead it was an accident fixed before it happened.
My year has been very weird like that.
hello room
Hi Rex. Good evening, room. Had an uneventful Tuesday. Took a nap that I did not need and now I feel all groggy and blah. I need to get over it because I have an interview tomorrow.
Soaring like an EAGLE !

The main research interest of my laboratory is in understanding the mechanisms of cancer metastasis via the lymphatic system and the function of lymphatic vessels in the regulation of immune response.
Metastasis is the main cause of treatment failure and death for cancer patients. The first site to which cancer cells metastasize are lymph nodes, and the extent of lymph node involvement is a major criterion for evaluating patient prognosis and the choice of therapy. Despite the fact that the importance of the lymphatic system as a pathway for cancer metastasis has been well recognized, research efforts over the past decades have been focused primarily on understanding the mechanisms of tumor spread via the blood vasculature. Thus, the mechanisms of tumor spread via the lymphatic system remain poorly understood. Aside from serving as a transport system for tumor cells, the lymphatic system normally collects extravasated fluid, macromolecules and leukocytes from tissues and returns them to the blood circulation. By directing antigen-presenting cells, T-cells and antigens from peripheral tissues into the lymph nodes, lymphatic vessels play an important role in the initiation of immune response. However, the mechanisms by which leukocytes are mobilized into the lymphatic vessels are poorly understood, and in particular, the role of lymphatic vessels in the process remains unknown.
Our long-term research efforts are dedicated towards elucidating the molecular mechanisms which regulate lymphatic vessel growth (i.e. lymphangiogenesis) and the function of lymphatic vessels in cancer and in normal physiology. Current research includes investigations of the mechanisms by which tumor cells interact with the lymphatic vasculature during early steps of metastasis. We are investigating the role of role of chemokines and cell adhesion molecules expressed by the lymphatic endothelium in tumor invasion and metastasis, to gain insight into the mechanisms which regulate tumor cell migration and entry into the lymphatic vessels. We are also investigating the molecular mechanisms of lymphangiogenesis. Our previous studies have demonstrated that the induction of tumor lymphangiogenesis by the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-C (VEGF-C) facilitates tumor metastases. The goals of our current research activities are to better understand the mechanisms by which VEGF-C promotes metastasis and to assess the potential of VEGF-C and its receptors as targets for the anti-metastatic therapy. Our efforts are also dedicated towards identification of novel lymphangiogenic factors and markers of the lymphatic endothelium. Finally, the lab is exploring the role of lymphatic vasculature in the regulation of immune response, particularly its function in regulating migration and activation of antigen-presenting cells. The ultimate goal of these studies is to gain insight into the molecular mechanisms by which lymphatic endothelial cells control physiological cell migration and to examine whether tumor cells take advantage of these mechanisms to gain access to the lymphatic vessels. The knowledge gained with the above studies may provide a foundation for the development of new therapeutic approaches to predict, arrest and treat cancer metastases.

Sail inspections
I''m in the process of buying my first boat. What should I look for when inspecting the sails? Are there any good books on the subject?
Sail inspections
Used sails are hard to judge. While you can look for tears, worn or frayed areas, it''s hard for most people to see if a sail is "blown out", even if it''s up. (The dacron in a sail can last for 20+ years, but the shape may have dissappeared in 2.) Newer materials like kevlar are harder to gauge because the material (and shape) may look fine right up to the point it fails. Worn, "fuzzy" areas, or pieces that are coming unglued (delaminated, in the parlance)are obvious concerns that may be fixable. We have found that sailmakers are helpful in determining how old sails are, what needs fixing (and can be) and what isn''t worth fixing (or can''t be). It''s an adventure.
Sail inspections
Thanks for the tip. I did stumble across Bacon''s web site and they say to test with a sail needle. Trying to pass the needle through the sail cloth you should get some resistence and not hear any poping sounds.
Sail inspections
The sounds you get from passing a needle through the cloth will vary depending on what the cloth is made of and what it may have been treated with by the manufacturer (plastic coatings stabilize warp and woof before the sailmaker gets it). I''ve never heard popping sounds, unless its the sound of the stitching pulling out when you should have reefed earlier.
Sail inspections
A high-level kind of test seems to be to check if it''s crispy or nice and soft. You DON''T want the latter, not even on Dacron sails, since they also typically have been coated with some wax-like feeling material that gives as the sail is used.
If the sails are crispy, you are typically in reasonable shape.

The Goa Commission for Non Resident Indians Affairs has mooted an "Emergency Repatriation Fund" to provide for deserving cases of hardship suffered by goans working abroad.
Goa Commissioner for NRI Affairs Eduardo Faleiro announced here on Friday that some cases of great hardship had come to his notice and it was decided to create a fund to meet the expenses when it is proved that the party or the next of kin are not in a financial position to do so.
The former External Affairs Minister said sometimes these workers are cheated by recruiting agents or denied wages by unscrupulous employers and then get stranded or land in jail. There are also cases of workers meeting with serious accidents and having to be rushed back for treatment. In some cases, the bodies of those who die abroad cannot be brought back when sponsors refuse to meet transportation expenses.
In reply to a question, he said there were no reports of any goan having been attacked in Australia. This, he said, is, however, no reason for complacency.
He lauded the goan associations in Australia for heir work in support of goan students. Goan students should contact the associations in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane or Perth on arrival, Mr. Faleiro said.

CYPRESS – A 2-year-old girl is recovering at home after she was bitten and dragged by a coyote in broad daylight, 10 feet from her mother at Forest Lawn Memorial Park on Thursday.
Experts say it was the first coyote attack on a person in Orange County reported this year – and a rare occurrence statewide.
Klarissa Barrera of Long Beach was treated for rabies and a 2.5-inch gash on her right calf at Long Beach Memorial Medical Center, her mother, Michelle Luper said Monday.
"I just wanted to put some space between me and the coyote because it was just standing there and staring at me," Luper said of the moment after she saved her daughter.
California Department of Fish and Wildlife spokeswoman Janice Mackey confirmed that an animal matching the description of a coyote was reported to have bitten a young girl. She said department employees shot and killed three coyotes at Forest Lawn on Thursday to address what's considered a threat to public safety.
"We were sent over to the scene, interviewed the parties and found three coyotes in the area," Mackey said. She added that officials believe one of the animals was responsible for the incident.
Luper, her three children and her ex-husband were at Forest Lawn about 3:15 p.m. Thursday to visit Luper's grandmother's grave.
Her 3 year old, Kira, and Klarissa were playing 10 feet away as Luper was cleaning the gravestone when she heard Kira say, "Ooh, a doggy!"
Luper, 32, said she recognized that it was a coyote from sightings in the area, including other times in Forest Lawn, and called for her girls to run to her.
The coyote bit Klarissa on the back as she turned around, puncturing her back and buttock, then dragged the girl by the leg toward the bushes, she said.
"I guess it was the emotion of fear and the pain I saw in my baby's face, I let out this scream and I lunged for her," said Luper.
The coyote dropped the girl and growled at Luper, who recovered her child, while her ex-husband, Keith Luper, called 911, she said.
Orange County Animal Control Director Ryan Drabek said an attack directed at a human is "very, very rare."
He said a couple of people have been injured in Orange County while protecting their pets from coyotes, including one incident last year. "As far as an incident like this, it's been quite some time."
University of California coyote researcher Robert Timm said the attack on Klarissa Barrera was the second attack on a human in California this year, after a hunter in full camouflage was bitten in April in Nevada County.

On February 26, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game petitioned (pdf) the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to remove the Central North Pacific subpopulation of humpback whales from the federal list of endangered or threatened species. In a press release, the director of Alaska's Division of Wildlife Conservation declared the species a "prime example of a recovered species that should be delisted" from the Endangered Species Act (ESA) because "the threat of extinction for this subpopulation is gone."
The entire North Pacific humpback whale species (Megaptera novaeangliae) was listed under the ESA in 1970, when the population was estimated to be as few as 1,000. Estimates now place the Central North Pacific population at around 21,800 animals.
The Central North Pacific humpback whale subpopulation feeds off the coast of Alaska each summer, and migrates to Hawaii in the winter. Alaska state officials called ESA protections for the species a regulatory burden on industries such as fishing and oil and gas. They noted that, were the species to be delisted, other protections such as those provided under the Marine Mammal Protection Act would remain in place. Critics of the petition argue that the whales still face too may threats to be delisted, including entanglement in fishing gear, boat collisions, and changing ocean chemistry resulting from climate change and noise pollution.
Alaska's petition echoes an April 2013 petition filed by the State of Hawaii urging delisting of the entire North Pacific humpback population. NMFS stated that it will respond to Alaska's petition within 90 days.

Letters: Connecticut shooting
When looking at this tragic shooting that has taken so many lives, keep in mind we have had guns since before we became a nation. It is time to place the blame where it belongs – on the doorstep of Hollywood, violent games, violent music, violent television and the constant barrage from the news media. The time has come to stop making violence acceptable and the norm. Time to stop giving day after day media coverage that only encourages this to happen. To the entertainment industry and all media; look in the mirror. You ARE causing this. – Ed Sapp, El Cajon
The media should preface the shooter's name with "the coward," "the cowardly act," "the cowardice of," in order to perhaps not "glorify," in the minds of other disturbed individuals, the killing of others.
For the media to say Adam Lanza's name will live in infamy is an invitation to some to copycat. – Donna Ruiz, El Cajon
We need more guns, not fewer. All teachers should be armed and carrying. In colleges, all students over the age of 18, and all professors, should be armed and carrying. All schools and other places of public congregation should have guards armed with AK 47s. All households should be required to be armed. In fact, "armed carry" should be the law, and practice, of the land, as it was when this nation was founded. Our forefathers knew how to prevent senseless violence. – Don Moore, San Diego
Yet again, another mass murder with guns. While not a gun owner, I understand the position that people kill, not guns. Until today. No matter how law-abiding or well-intentioned legitimate gun owners are, guns get into the hands of the wrong people.
If you're a gun owner, go look into eyes of the parents and loved ones of those massacred in Connecticut on Friday. Go defend your position to them. The right of those innocent children and people to their lives trumps ever claim you can ever make to your right to own a gun.
It's time to outlaw the sale of guns to civilians, period. – Jack V. Cohen, San Diego
Had just one teacher, administrator or janitor been armed this tragedy might have been averted. It took ELEVEN MINUTES for the first responders to respond!!! ELEVEN MINUTES! By the time they showed up it was game over.
When it is life and death, seconds count. You don't have eleven minutes to decide who is on first. There is no time to think. You must react at once and respond to the dictates of your training and preparation. Locking down the classroom is all very well, but you better have something to deal with the gunman when he shoots his way through the door. Throwing a trash can at the attacker will not do.
Gun control is not the answer. Arming and training responsible members of the citizenry to deal immediately with these threats is. To those who believe government can control guns, I point at government's lamentable efforts to control illegal immigration and drugs. I point to "Fast and Furious," the government-sponsored fiasco to allow high-powered weapons to be sold into the hands of the Mexican drug cartels, resulting in hundreds of deaths. – Paul B. Evans, Valley Center

Gender Inequality in BuddhismIn Week 1 of Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo's ongoing Tricycle Retreat a participant writes, I look forward to a peer woman teacher; I have had many wonderful experiences with male teachers, but there is something more for me w/ a contemporary, Western, woman. To which Jetsunma responds, Of course inherently there is no male or female, but nonetheless on a relative level the female voice has been conspicuous by its absence in the Buddhist world through the centuries. Perhaps this gradual redress of the gender balance is one of the contributions that the West is making—along with contemporary Asia—to the richness of the Dharma in modern times. Another participant writes, More »

Great Moments in self-promotion: I'll be on NBC SportsTalk again tonight
Sep 21, 2011, 1:00 PM EDT
Because NBC SportsTalk isn't going to unseat SportsCenter as the most-watched evening sports studio show (weeknight division) by itself, I feel like I need to note when I'm on. No, not because I think you'll all flock to it. To the contrary, I consider it more of a warning. After all, if my pasty, lisping visage unsettles too many people when they see it, they'll never come back to watch when the handsome men talking about football are on.
So consider this a service: DO NOT watch me talking about the Braves chances to hold on to their wild card lead. Make sure you turn off your TV — which was likely already tuned to the Versus Network — at 6PM Eastern time tonight. If you fail to heed my advice, you'll be stuck with me talking for a few minutes, likely right after the Yankees-Rays highlights.
America: consider yourself … WARNED!
- sportsdrenched.com - Sep 21, 2011 at 1:12 PM
If that vague swirly thing in the pitcure is supposed to be a subliminal message to watch NBC SportsTalk…I'm interested, but I'm not bumping up my Dish deal to do it.
- Francisco (FC) - Sep 21, 2011 at 1:13 PM
Reverse Psychology is the oldest trick in the book Craig. You'd do better by letting me make a post on my blog on how the Lair will announce its plans for Baseball Domination on NBC tonight, if it strikes my fancy I may make one yet…
- CJ - Sep 21, 2011 at 1:16 PM
I refuse to watch unless and until you go on that show rocking the bathrobe and bubble pipe.
- sportsdrenched.com - Sep 21, 2011 at 1:20 PM
When was the last time any of you watched SportsCenter. And I don't mean you turned it on and then got ready for work or something. I mean, actually watched it. I can't remember the last time I did that.

As a bicycle rider, I laughed out loud at the ridiculous remarks Rep. Ed Orcutt, R-Kalama, made about bicyclists adding to climate change. It hard to conceive that even he believes what he said. (He has since apologized for his comment).
However, in the very outside chance that heavy breathing does contribute to global warming, I guess it would be appropriate to add an additional tax to a whole list of items, not just bicycles, starting with running shoes, birth control pills and condoms.
On the other hand, I strongly suspect that the hot air that spews forth from the mouths of politicians contributes more to global warming than anything we bicyclists do.

Program Description
Established in 1995, the Alternative Housing Voucher Program (AHVP) provides rental vouchers to disabled applicants who are not elderly and who have been determined eligible for Chapter 667 (elderly and disabled) housing. DHCD's Division of Public Housing and Rental Assistance, which administers this program, has the responsibility for regulatory and administrative oversight of all state public housing programs which address the needs of low-income families, the elderly, and persons with disabilities.
How it works:
A tenant will pay either 25 or 30% of their net income to the landlord, depending on whether or not the utilities are included in the rent; and the state's local housing authority will pay the remainder.
Who is eligible:
Those applicants who are eligible under the Ch. 667 elderly and disabled program, but who are under the age of 60.
Application process:
Applicants can apply at any one of the 39 local housing agencies that have received an allocation of Alternative Housing Vouchers. If eligible, their names will be placed on a waiting list. Once their name reaches the top of the list, the applicants will be given a briefing on all aspects of the program. During the briefing, the applicant will receive an AHVP Voucher which allows 120 days to locate appropriate housing. The vouchers can be used throughout Massachusetts only.
For further information:
Please contact the Bureau of State Rental Assistance for more information at (617) 573-1150.

© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY -- Take that, Berrien.
That's the feeling Albany High School girls basketball fans got after watching their beloved Squaws upset Berrien, 43-42, in the first round of the Region 1-AA tournament on a game-winning steal and layup 2.5 seconds remaining by Elisa Hollinger, who capped off a wild fourth-quarter comeback.
"We really won it as a team," said Hollinger, who scored eight of her nine points with four minutes remaining in the game. "But I pulled through at the end."
Briana Williams poured in 13 points to lead Albany.
"I don't how it happened honestly," said Albany (14-16) coach Telly Turner, whose team dropped both games against Berrien in the regular season. "But one thing I do believe is that it is hard to beat a team three times."
After a tightly-contested first half, Albany found itself trailing by a point (19-18) but in the second half Albany saw its deficit grow to as many as five (36-31) with 3:01 left in the game.
With under a minute remaining in the game -- and after a Berrien miss -- Williams drove the length of the floor for a layup that pulled her team within a point (42-41) with 37.2 left, setting up Hollinger's heroics.
After AHS used its foul to give, Berrien had the ball out of bounds near midcourt and successfully inbounded to Adurianna Bennett, who was immediately surrounded by Albany defenders who forced her to throw a pass that was picked off by Hollinger and at half court and taken in for the winning score.
With the win, the Albany girls automatically qualify for state but before that comes they will compete in the semifinals of the region 1-AA tournament Thursday at No. 1 Thomasville at 7 p.m.
EARLY LOSES IN SECOND ROUND, 50-34, to COOK:
The Lady Bobcats lost to the Lady Hornets after winning the play-in game Monday vs. Fitzgerald, although no final stats were available at press time.
The Lady Bobcats' season ends at 5-13.

1 injured in California city after surfing contest
Monday - 7/29/2013, 9:00pm EDT
Associated Press
HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. (AP) -- Bicycle salesman Bert Etheredge locked down the shop where he works and sent customers and co-workers into a back room when he saw a raucous mob moving up the main street of a California beach town after a popular surf contest.
Moments later, the wild crowd yanked out a stop sign and rammed it through the window of the Easyrider shop before stealing a bike.
"It was like a flood of people," Etheredge said. "A running from the bulls kind of thing."
More than 100 police officers responded to quell the disturbance on Sunday night in Huntington Beach, the city that bills itself as "Surf City USA," after a fight broke out across from the beach where thousands of spectators had gathered for the popular nine day-U.S. Open of Surfing.
The raucous crowd toppled portable toilets, threw items from rooftops and smashed car windows along the popular downtown strip lined with restaurants, bars and surf and skate shops.
Police fired pepper balls and rubber projectiles to break up the melee.
One person was treated for injuries at a hospital after apparently being hit by a flying bottle and one of the rubber projectiles, Huntington Beach police Lt. Mitchell O'Brien said.
Seven people were booked into jail, one for investigation of assault with a deadly weapon after allegedly hitting an officer with a skateboard. Others were being investigated for drunken conduct and failure to disperse. Officers initially detained nine people, but two were later released.
"Any time you have thousands of people put together like this, you have the potential for things to go wrong," O'Brien said.
Property damage could reach tens of thousands of dollars, he added.
Police were sifting through photos and video of the melee posted online and expect to make more arrests.
At a news conference Monday afternoon, police Chief Ken Small defended the officers' actions.
They "used a great deal of restraint when facing a barrage of bottles, bricks, rocks" and other objects, he said.
The U.S. Open of Surfing draws thousands of people every year to Huntington Beach. The event that ended Sunday included surfing, skateboarding and live music.
"We're extremely disappointed and saddened by the disturbance," said a statement on the U.S. Open of Surfing website. "We work tirelessly with city staff, police, fire and other agencies to ensure a safe environment for all."
Shopkeepers say downtown -- known for its scenic beaches and crashing surf -- is often the scene of drunken bar brawls and rowdy behavior -- but not rioting. Locals say some of the worst offenses come during the U.S. Open of Surfing when young partiers descend on the strip and leave a mess
"The people who come here aren't here to shop. They're just here to cause trouble," said Michelle Hogan, manager of Island Cowgirl jewelry shop, which escaped the ruckus unscathed. "There's the drunkenness and the craziness but something like a riot is unheard of."
Police said one of the arrestees was from Huntington Beach. The other six were from other Southern California cities.
On Monday, there was little sign of the disturbance except for a boarded-up window at Easyrider and a handful of television news trucks parked on the main strip. Beachgoers wearing flip-flops cruised by on colorful bicycles as tourists shopped for trinkets and stopped for lunch on a typically sunny summer day.
Tracey Boyle, 45, said she wasn't fazed by the melee in the tourist town where she and her three children from Northern California had come to spend their vacation.
"It's just something that got out of hand," Boyle said. "You can't imagine what it would be at a surf event -- they seem too chill to get in that kind of confrontation, but they clearly did."

Dharwad: After taking up voter enrolment drive on a massive scale, the Election Commission has intensified its campaign to ensure maximum voter turnout. It has roped in all departments dealing with youth and women, and is holding programmes to create awareness on the importance of voting in a democratic set-up.
Apart from holding lectures and distributing literature, the EC has been using entertainment as an effective tool in its mission Systematic Voter's Education and Electoral Programme (SVEEP).
By organising street plays, folk songs, debate competitions, film shows at vantage points like bus stand, railway station, market place, shandies and main junctions in cities, towns and villages, the SVEEP committee is making all efforts to make the voter exercise his/her franchise.
In a bid to attract the urban youths, the Dharwad district election officer Sameer Shukla has been successfully using social media and making the e-savvy take part in discussing the importance of voting.
Local channels on TV and radio are also being used to create awareness. The meetings conducted at Gram Panchayat levels have received good response with large number of people belonging to various voluntary groups and women organisations attending the meetings.

Information Dept chips in
Department of Information (DoI) is not lagging behind in accomplishing the mission.
A special vehicle of the Department of Information is touring different parts of the district and urging voters to vote. It will tour the Hubli-Dharwad Municipal Corporation (HDMC) limits on May 2 and 3.
The personnel will distribute handbills, play music and arrange photo exhibitions to convey that "voting is your right, exercise it without fail".
