MANILA, Philippines - Vice President Jejomar C. Binay on Monday lauded the joint framework agreement reached by the Philippine government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), calling it a "milestone in our search for peace and development in Mindanao."
He joined leaders of the business community and civil society in Mindanao in expressing full support for draft framework peace agreement.
Likewise, Basilan Bishop Martin Jumoad welcomed the framework agreement to create a new political entity in Mindanao to replace the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), saying it's a step toward achieving peace.
"With this framework, which is within the bounds of the Constitution, we should all be optimistic that the conflict that has affected thousands of Filipinos, Muslims and Christians alike, is nearing its end," Binay said.
The agreement, Binay said, acknowledges the struggle of the Moros for respect and recognition and extends to them their rightful place in nation building as Filipinos.
Bronx Hebrona, regional governor for Southwestern Mindanao of the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI), said Mindanao traders were optimistic that the forging of a GPH-MILF framework agreement in Malaysia would eventually lead to a permanent peace agreement.
He added that the forging of a permanent peace agreement would inevitably impact not only the business climate but also the quality of life of all the people in Mindanao.
"It is very heartening that prospects for a final peace agreement are getting brighter. An agreement finally looks closer at hand. I am very confident that the MILF and the GPH will earnestly and sincerely rise above the current realities and challenges to finally attain lasting peace in Mindanao," Hebrona said in a statement.
"The peace dividend that will ensue will undoubtedly positively impact not only the business climate but eventually the quality of life of all Mindanaons. We, in the business sector in Mindanao, trust that our brothers in the MILF and the administration of PNoy will pursue peace relentlessly until a final agreement is signed," he added.
Jumoad said stressed that the basis of the agreement should be the Constitution of the Republic of the Philippines.
"Whatever is agreed must be submitted to the people for ratification," said Jumoad.
This, he said, is the reason people should be vigilant.
"We have to be vigilant and the same time guide the people... in the working of the agreement that they must accept the consequence of voting yes and voting no... so there must be total education of in terms of the implication of the agreement that they may entered into," Jumoad said.
The Basilan prelate also hopes that there will be respect for religion in this Bangsamoro entity.
PCCI Vice President for Mindanao Ricardo Juliano echoed Hebrona's observation, saying that a successful peace agreement would benefit "not only Mindanao but the entire country as well."
"We are fully supporting the peace process," Juliano said. "We have high hopes for this administration."
"The signing of a GPH-MILF peace accord is an act of humility and should usher in graciousness and agreements among people on the ground," said EJ Matela, executive director of the Mindanao Land Foundation, Inc. (MinLand), a non-governmental organization (NGO) based in Kidapawan City.
"Thoughts of real peace, justice and prosperity thus become more real and attainable. Our prayers and thanks to our leaders and all the people who are working hard to make this magnanimous act possible," Matela, who is also Minland Foundation past director for post conflict and rural services, added.
Aveen Acuna-Gulo, an official of the Cotabato-based Institute for Autonomy and Governance (IAG) that is handling an European Union-funded project for Indigenous Peoples in the Autonomous Region for Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), said the time was ripe for the signing of a peace agreement between the government and the MILF.
"I see that there has been no environment such as this current one that favors a signing; everything is positive," Acuna-Gulo said.
Cagayan de Oro City Mayor Vicente Y. Emano said, "Mindanao road map for peace and development is moving."
Misamis Oriental Gov. Oscar Moreno said "peace and development is everybody's concern to all Mindanao people"
Ranking religious leaders in Mindanao also welcome the new development.
Fr. Angel Calvo, a Claretian priest and well-known Mindanao peace advocate based in Basilan, said Mindanao residents who have been following the peace negotiations between the government and MILF panels, were harboring "high expectations that finally a peace accord can be reached and presented to the people"
Calvo is the lead convenor of the Mindanao Peaceweavers, a civil society organization that monitors the ceasefire agreement between government and MILF forces in Mindanao.
While almost all sectors support the development, Speaker Feliciano "Sonny" Belmonte Jr. said time is running out for Congress to come up with a law that would pave the way for the creation of the "Bangsamoro" that seeks to end the decades-long armed struggle in the southern Philippines.
Belmonte said that due to "very limited time," Congress may not be able to pass a law, which provides the creation of the new political entity as indicated in the preliminary accord reached by the Aquino government and the MILF.
"Admittedly, time is very limited. Time is now limited to a greater degree compared with the first and second session," he said in an ambush interview. -with reports from Leslie Ann G. Aquino, Mike U. Crismundo, Charissa M. Luci, and Ali G. Macabalang

This tennis prodigy thing is a funny thing. Last Saturday I was in PA and went to my nephew's baseball game. The walk way went right by these 2 old tennis courts with weeds growing in the cracks. I saw this little girl hitting balls out of a Tennis Twist machine with her dad. I heard that sweet sound of a ball being hit just right again and again. We went over to the fence and watched. After she was done, these 2 eight year old boys on the other court came over and 'played' against her.
This little girl wacked ball after ball from the baseline, almost taking the racquet out of these boys hands. She put balls over them, between them, right at them. She covered the court extremely well. It was an amazing sight.
I then got to talking with her dad. He was so low key, saying she just liked hitting tennis balls and seemed to pick it up naturally. No boasts of Wimbleton wins or pro careers or press coverage.
I then asked how old she was......"4 and a half" he said. "Holy cr--p" I said!
My point is these kids are everywhere, mostly anonymous. And no one can convince me that that little girl is any less of a prospect for a great pro career than these kids getting press coverage or whose parents boast on these boards.

Angelina Jolie raises concern for Syria refugees
Published on Sep 14, 2012 8:35 PM
ANKARA (AFP) - Hollywood star Angelina Jolie on Friday said she was concerned about the plight of Syrian refugees fleeing the unrest in their conflict-torn country with no end in sight to the violence.
"With the violence in the conflict showing no signs of easing up and the numbers (of refugees) growing... it is a very large concern for all of us," Jolie, a United Nations (UN) special envoy, told reporters in Ankara.
"I share everyone's concern about the winter approaching," she added, calling for help to make sure that "nobody freezes to death in this very very frightened time."
Accompanied by UN High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres, Jolie held talks with Turkish officials in Ankara including President Abdullah Gul, a day after visiting refugee camps along the border.

situated on Tambon Ban Rae the boundary between Amphoe Than To and Amphoe Betong, Yala
Tel. -
Category : Waterfalls
Attraction Details :
La-OngRoong Waterfall is located in the Banglang National Park Security, which the border is next to TambolIyerweng, Betong, Yala. It is around 100 kilometers away from the Yala city, from the highway 410 at the 40 KM milestone.
Since the geography of Yala province is mostly alternating mountains with tropical rain forest, it is the origin of many rivers such as Pattanee River. The waterfall consists of valleys and basins. On the highest level, when the water reflects with the sunlight it sparkles and turns into a very beautiful scenery.
The waterfall here has a lot of water and high water mass. It flows from the height of 10 meters therefore when the water hits the rocks, steam occurs around the area. Moreover, when the steam reflects with the sunlight, a rainbow occurs which is worth seeing, this is why it is named "La-OngRoong Waterfall" (Rainbow Steam Waterfall).
La-OngRoong waterfall was discovered in 1972 by Mr.PayomWongyaem then in 1976,Mr.Payom invited Mr. Direk Thuengfung, the sheriff of Tarn Toh district to discover this area. Both of them found that it is a beautiful waterfall and the environment around as well. Therefore, they develop this waterfall as a tourist location by gathering money to construct the road to this waterfall until it is accessible.
La-OngRoong Waterfall is the view point of the sea fog during October to March every year. It is known that this waterfall is located amidst the forest with 4 levels. On the first level, there is a way to walk along the waterfall for around 200 meters in order to get to the 4th level. The weather here is divided into 2 seasons which are rainy season and summer. The rainy season starts from June to December and summer starts from January to May. Therefore, the tourists should visit during October to March which is the period of the sea fog with nice weather. However, the tourists must be careful since every waterfall has mosses which makes the rockslippy and dangerous. Moreover, the water here is around 2-3 meters deep, the children should not play here alone without the parents watching.
How to get there :
By Other
about 90 kilometres on the Yala-Betong road from Amphoe Mueang. Turn right onto a dirt road at about 40 kilometres before reaching Amphoe Betong, for about 100 metres

Back to School Shopping Starts Now!
When you see the back to school displays in the stores, you know that summer is half way over. Or you realize that retailers are an overzealous lot. Stores are filled with big yellow displays full of pencils, pens, pads, protractors, small refrigerators and computers. Almost anything in a store can be considered a back-to-school supply, especially when you take college kids into account.
I love this time of the year! It's so exciting and even if your student isn't too thrilled with the thought of inking Shakespearean quotes into their composition notebooks, or pondering the Pythagorean Theorem in their Trapper Keepers, they still want you to buy them all the cool stuff for school.
When I was a kid, I couldn't wait for school supply shopping. Back then, there weren't a lot of displays to poke through, or eye-catching bins right as you walk in the door to trip over, but I still loved walking down the office supply aisle at Zayre (that's an old name for you) or Kmart, being so careful to pick out the coolest pen (Papermate, blue) or pencil (Huskies), college-ruled paper, and the biggest, fanciest Trapper Keeper that was made. Even then, I had an obsession with keeping things organized.
Now, when I walk into a store with my 15 year old, I am absolutely astounded at what is available for kids to take to school. And frankly, I am smitten with the fact that schools send around to the retailers what they require for the kids to have on the first day. That's such a brilliant idea. Granted, I usually have to take out a small loan on the house every July just to outfit him for school, between clothes, shoes, accessories and of course supplies, but I'm just as excited about it as he is!
Locker mirrors and organizers, book jackets in bright colors and patterns (I used brown paper bags from the grocery store…not fair), backpacks with shoulder pads…the list just goes on. I think this time however, I'm going to pick up some cool supplies for myself as well! Happy shopping!
Thanks Mom!
May 12th is Mother's Day, and I hope that you already have the perfect gift in mind for your mom! If not, I'm here to help. I have a few ideas, especially if your mom is a classy, stylish CEO or VP. Or really, any mom that has an office…
Special thanks to:
Don't Be a Dull Person!
We all know how to finish that sentence. Even though its been around a long time, most of us equate it with a smirking Jack Nicholson with crazy eyes, and frankly that's not a look I'm going for. Its been proven that a little bit of "play" during the work day makes for a more productive employee. You get some break away time, take a fifteen minute break and put a puzzle together, or surf the internet for a new pair of shoes (a woman's way of playing, for the most part). No matter what it is, outside of illegal activities, people need some play.
Even if you love your job, you reach a point where you need a non-work related distraction. Something to clear the mind, turn your focus to something besides the spreadsheet or document that you've been staring at for two hours. A lot of companies have a no Internet policy, so you can't do that, but you can have a desk toy!
For the longest time, I have wanted a desk toy. A mini billiards table, that obnoxious ball clacker thingy, even a zen garden would work! But I keep procrastinating, and still haven't bought one. Seeing as though I don't want the Jack Torrence look of insanity, I decided to finally look for something, and I came across tons of toys I can use at my desk. Now I just have to choose one…
Internet Shopping Fun!
So I'm going to go a little off our own little patch of happy office supplies, and move on to the exciting and infinitely shoppable Etsy. I adore Etsy – its fun, funky, quirky, vintage and there is something for everyone, whether you're hippy-dippy or geektacular. There hasn't been one time that I've gone to Etsy and NOT found something to buy.
Today I went looking for vintage office supplies in addition to artwork for my son's room. I also found some interesting old office paperwork that would go quite nicely with the work scrapbook I keep thinking about starting…big procrastinator that I am. Don't look for that anytime soon.

Manly-Type Valentine's Gifts
Every year for Valentines Day, I panic because I have no idea what to get my husband. I don't want to get run-of-the-mill things, and he just doesn't appreciate flowers and chocolates (what is WRONG with him??), so I'm usually stumped and starting to panic around this time of the month.
So this year, when I went window shopping online, I thought, "Hey! Maybe there are others like me that need help too!". I don't know why it was such an epiphany for me, but there it is. Here are some of my selections that I need to narrow down for this year, and hopefully they'll help you too! Thanks to RedEnvelope.com for some great ideas!
For the Entertainer: Beer Mugs. If your guy has poker/game/dart/book club (I just wanted to throw you off with that one) gatherings at the house, then he *may* want to serve beverages in nice beer steins instead of the mismatched glasses that every ex-bachelor has laying around.
For the Techie: Bluetooth Headset. This is something my husband has been begging for. Not that he doesn't have one, he has two actually, but he wants a new and shiny one. This is the model he's been eyeballing ever since we saw a guy with it while we were Christmas shopping at the mall. Since then, I have been inundated with reasons why this one is better than the other two…
For the Geek: They're Star Wars cuff links. I think they speak for themselves.
For the Adventurer: Handheld GPS. Is your guy a hiker or backpacker? Does he like to explore new places? Does he get lost in a closet with one door? This may just be the perfect gift for him! It's small and non-intrusive, so he can just pretend he knows exactly where he's going without letting on he has electronic help.
For the Thinker: The Story of Him. Some men love to talk about themselves and offer up their opinion. No, really, it's true! If you have a talker in your life, this may just be perfect. He can record all about himself in this nifty little book, and leave it in his will so that future generations will know his greatness.
For the Romantic: Family Story Wall Art.Yes, there are some men who are romantic, and something like this would definitely get his heart thumping with love for you. It can have a place of honor right over his desk at work, so that he can proclaim to all and sundry his undying love for you and your family.

In response to growing concerns about medical isotope availability, Congress created2 the Isotope Production and Distribution Program and gave it the responsibility for ensuring a stable supply of isotopes, including medical radioisotopes, in the United States. In 1991, the Department of Energy (DOE) was funded by these three domestic technetium generator manufacturers to study the feasibility of using its facilities to develop a domestic supply of Mo-99 and associated fission products. As a result of this feasibility study, DOE purchased the rights to Cintichem's Mo-99 production technology3 and associated equipment in 1991. Initially, DOE planned to produce Mo-99 using the Cintichem technology at the Omega West Reactor (OWR) and the Chemistry and Metallurgy Research (CMR) hot cell facilities at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. However, in December 1992–January 1993, a leak in the primary cooling system piping of that reactor was determined to be contributing to tritium contamination of the groundwater beneath the reactor facility. After detailed analysis, DOE decided in mid 1993 to shut down the reactor.
From mid 1993 until early 1995, DOE evaluated other alternative facilities for Mo-99 production. An Environmental Impact Statement (DOE, 1996a) prepared during 1995 evaluated these alternatives, and in 1996 DOE issued a Record of Decision (DOE, 1996b) that selected the CMR facility at Los Alamos for target fabrication and the 2 MWt Annular Core Research Reactor (ACRR) and associated hot cell facilities at Technical Area V at Sandia National Laboratories as the preferred alternatives for Mo-99 production. From late 1996 until mid 1999, DOE made capital investments and supported operating costs of the Sandia nuclear facilities to develop a Mo-99 production capability. DOE costs ranged from $20 million to $50 million, depending on whether facility operating costs were included as part of the Mo-99 project costs.
DOE issued an Expression of Interest (EOI) in 1999 to gauge commercial interest in further development of this Sandia production initiative. There was initial industrial interest in learning about the Sandia production capability. However, knowledgeable Mo-99 producers concluded that Sandia production of Mo-99 was not economically competitive with then-existing commercial Mo-99 production. The yield of Mo-99 (in terms of curies per gram of uranium-235 [U-235]) using the Cintichem technology in the
Public Law 101-101. The program was managed by the Office of Nuclear Energy within the Department of Energy (DOE).
Cintichem used an acidic dissolution process (now referred to as the Cintichem process) to produce Mo-99 from irradiated highly enriched uranium (HEU) targets. An improved version of this process is currently being developed for use on low enriched uranium (LEU) targets by Argonne National Laboratory. It is referred to as an LEU-modified Cintichem process or sometimes just modified Cintichem process.

Fly Rods, Kids and a KLR

Hold my beer & watch this
Joined: Oct 2008
Location: Somewhere on da Iron Range.
Oddometer: 584
Day 5- wednesday
Wednesday was canoeing day. The students went for a canoe trip on the upper south branch of the ausable then we met up at the canoe livery for dinner. The camp leader was worried about me injuring my knee on the canoe trip so i sat it out. I rode my KLR to the livery a little early and fished some.
The students were split into groups with instructors assigned. Alex, Ben and Christian were fishing with myself and another instructor on the Mason Tract.
Ben went with the other instructor. They rigged up with 8x and some goofy small midge pattern. I set Alex and Christian up with a 4lb tippet tied to a size 8 grasshopper with a size 12 san juan worm on a 24" 2lb dropper. Kind of a meat an potatoes approach to matching the hatch.
Both Alex and Christian tied into a few fish. As dusk settled we swapped the hopper and worm for a small Hexigenia Imitation and a sulfer emerger. Hexes were allready done for the year but it was more beleiveable than the hopper. Both kids managed to tie into several large fish on the sulfer emerger pattern.
Saw a hen and ducklings.
Alex casting to a feeding lane.
Christian working his way upstream.
Ben and the other instructor coming back. They got skunked.
Moving into postion to work a fish.
As we are leaving the parking lot of the access that night another instructor noticed my tail light was out on the KLR. Gonna have to look into that tomorrow.
My knee is not improving at all. My wife is going to make some calls tomorrow and see what we can figure out.

For a directorial debut shot on 16mm, shot on weekends, and shot for around $6000, this is a great film! Future filmmakers and students should take notes.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

Too flawed. Bad cinematography, especially in black/white format. The plot was silly also. I liked Alex Haw, the actor who played Cobb. He is a promising actor. I believe this is the only role he has done. I wonder why. Small film, inexpensive budget, no problem. I want to compare this film to Pulp Fiction as regards to use of flashbacks. They flashback sequences were done poorly. I do not see any emphasis on each flashbacks, meanings were too superficial to understand. I keep going ''Yeah he did; yeah thats what happened; so what? what is the point?'' In the end, somewhat chilling conclusion which was okay. Not much of a substance in the film overall. Some style but too flat. It wouldn't have been a difference if the story was told outright without the use of flashbacks. Big hole in this film...I see that the mob boss played a role in this film in a indirect way. How come the mob boss was not much of a factor after the robbery of his safe? That bothered me a little throughout the last part of the film. Overall, it is a weak film. I don't have a problem for a recommendation for you to take a look at it.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. OverviewBased on the popular children's shows of the same name, the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers is a 2D side-scrolling action game published by Namco for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The game allows you to be any of the five original cast of rangers as you fight through waves of putty patrol and five different monsters created by Rita Repulsa. The game ends climatically with the Power Rangers calling for the Megazord and flying to the moon to battle Rita's overgrown creature in front of her fortress.While the game's plot doesn't mirror any particular storyline from the live-action series, the game captures many concepts characteristic to the show. Zack is seen dancing during the credits, and incorporates dance moves in his fighting style. Billy, not being a trained martial artist, fights in a cowardly way. Lastly, just like every episode of the show, the game ends with the Power Rangers calling for the Megazord in order to defeat a building-sized monster that Rita grew.PlotAfter seeing Rita Repulsa wreaking havoc on Angel Grove, the Power Rangers put it on themselves to protect the city. The rangers fight in a variety of locations, including the city streets and parks, an industrial factory, the sewers, skyscrapers, and a secret underground headquarters. After having the putty patrol and her monsters defeated at the hands of the Power Rangers, Rita resorts to growing one of her minions, named Mutitus. The rangers call for the Megazord, and a giant battle ensues at the shores of Angel Grove. After besting Rita's overgrown creation, the Power Rangers fly to the moon with the Megazord for one last fight against a leviathan called Cyclopsis. Once the rangers have defeated all of Rita's forces, they come back home to a safe Angel Grove. Jason, Zack, Billy, Trini, and Kimberly are seen enjoying their victory with a joyride on the coast of the beach in a convertable.As the game starts before the Green with evil arc in the series, Tommy the green ranger is not present.GameplayAt the beginning of each level, the player is able to choose any of the five Power Rangers to fight with. The first half of the level consists of the player fighting in civilian form against a variety of putties. Once the level's boss appears to confront the player, he/she morphs into a Power Ranger. As a Power Ranger, the player gains extra strength, more life, a special 'bomb' attack, and a weapon specific to the character they chose:Jason - SwordZack - AxeBilly - Bō / StaffTrini - Dual DaggersKimberly - Bow and ArrowThe later half of the level has the player fighting more enemies until they reach the boss, who must be defeated in order to continue to the next level. The five bosses in the set of on-foot levels were:Level 1: BonesLevel 2: Gnarly GnomeLevel 3: Eye GuyLevel 4: GenieLevel 5: Dark WarriorThe last two levels have the players taking control of the Megazord as they fight a gigantic enemy one-on-one. The last boss having 2 forms. The Megazord is equipped with a power sword and various projectiles. A 'POW' bar increases over time, allowing the player to unleash stronger projectile attacks during the fight. The 'POW' bar depletes after using a projectile, and time must pass before another shot can be fired again.Game Boy releaseThe Game Boy version included a Megazord boss battle at the end of each level, and different boss characters, as well as Super Game Boy functionality.

Anne Applebaum: A preemptive strike against Muslim extremism in Switzerland – washingtonpost.com

A few weeks ago, I found myself walking through a Swiss village — okay, it was really a Geneva suburb — called Nyon. Still, it looked like a village: There was a castle on the hill, and I could see some Roman ruins. There were a few shops and a nice view of the lake. […]

San Diego's 82 athletes in London reveal joy, sorrow on world stage
	Sarah Hammer
Track cycling
Temecula native who cut her teeth at the Balboa Park velodrome came home from London with silver medals in the team pursuit and individual omnium.
Brady Ellison
Men's team lived and trained in Chula Vista for the past six years, shocked three-time medalist South Korea in the semifinals and came within a point of the gold.
	Felix Sanchez
University City High alum won his second gold medal for his parents' homeland of the Dominican Republic in the 400-meter hurdles eight years after the first.
Morgan Uceny
Fell in the 1,500m finals of the World Championships a year ago, and it happened all over again in London. "It seemed impossible and unreal," she wrote in an email to the AP.
nepal There is a spot on the running track at Olympic Stadium about 15 meters past the finish line.
It is where Felix Sanchez, in the twilight of a storied career, kneeled after winning a second gold medal in the 400-meter hurdles at age 34 and placed a photo of his late grandmother and leaned down to kiss it.
It is also where, four nights later, Morgan Uceny crashed just yards into the bell lap of the women's 1,500 meters, kneeling and pounding the track with her hands and sobbing uncontrollably as the rest of the field finished the race without her.
The Olympics can be humbling in victory. The Olympics can be humbling in defeat.
That spot on the orange track, and the tears that fell on it, defined these Summer Games for athletes with San Diego ties. Sanchez is from University City High, Uceny lives in University Heights. They represented the extremes, of course, but they represented what happened.
Some of it was fabulous. Some of it was frustrating.
In all, 15 of San Diego's 82 athletes who competed at the London Games are now proud owners of 17 total Olympic medals — five golds, eight silvers, four bronzes. They won them in seven different sports while representing four different countries.
It is fashionable for various locales to rank their medal haul against those of entire countries, and inevitably those comparisons are flawed because they often include a single person who earned a medal as part of a team — a midfielder on a soccer team, or a single leg of a track relay, or one oar in a boat.
But even with those restrictions, counting medals as they would in the official Olympic table, the San Diego region — with a population of about 3 million — would be impressive as its own nation. Subtract individual medals won as part of a team, and San Diego can claim seven: one gold, five silvers, one bronze. Only 30 of the 204 nations in London won more.
Mexico also won seven. India, with 1.2 billion people, won six.
Indonesia, Egypt and Greece won six — combined. Turkey won five. Argentina won four.
Sanchez, who competes for his parents' homeland of the Dominican Republic, provided the signature moment for San Diego athletes, persisting through eight years of disappointing results after winning gold in 2004 and then crying unabashedly on the medals podium.

Press Releases
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (the Service) announced that it will seek public comments on the management of private oil and gas development activities within federal wildlife refuges in the country's National Wildlife Refuge System. The Service plans to work with a variety of stakeholders to ensure that best conservation and management practices are utilized when reserved, private oil and gas interests are developed on refuge land. Below-surface mineral rights are privately owned on many refuge lands, and more than 200 refuges contain active oil and gas operations that currently lack comprehensive oversight. Moreover, the Fish and Wildlife Refuge System regulations for managing private oil and gas activities on national wildlife refuges are horribly outdated and inadequate for ensuring that private oil and gas activities on refuges avoid, minimize and mitigate adverse impacts to refuge resources.
Defenders of Wildlife, Friends of the Sea Otter, The Humane Society of the United States and the Humane Society Wildlife Land Trust, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Monterey Bay Aquarium, U.C. Davis Karen C. Drayer Wildlife Health Center, and individual donor Dusty Nabor, are offering a $21,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible for fatally shooting three threatened southern sea otters found at Asilomar Beach, near Monterey, California in early September of 2013.
Yellowstone National Park has begun to round up and ship wild bison to slaughterhouses as they cross the park's boundaries in search of lower snow depths outside the Park. On Wednesday, the first shipment of what will ultimately be many truckloads of bison left the Yellowstone National Park's Stephens Creek facility for transport to a northwest Montana slaughterhouse. Another 26 were shipped to the slaughterhouse on Thursday. This capture and slaughter program, implemented by the National Park Service, is meant to keep the Yellowstone bison population below an arbitrary cap of 3,000.
In an effort to inflate elk populations for commercial outfitters and hunters, the Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG) hopes to kill 60 percent of the wolves in the Middle Fork area of central Idaho's Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness, according to a predator management plan for the area released this week.
Panel members of the independent scientific peer review committee conducted by the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis at the University of California, Santa Barbara today told the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service (the Service) that the science behind the proposal to strip federal protections for gray wolves across nearly all of the lower 48 states was not based on the best available.
A bill to establish a wolf control board to kill most of the wolves in the state gained traction this week in Idaho's state legislature.
Rep. Doc Hastings (R-Wa.) today released a report and a set of proposals that would radically change the way the Endangered Species Act (ESA) works, severely curtailing the act's ability to protect the nation's most imperiled species.
Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife (WDFW) recently released a new wolf management protocol that will remove important safeguards for recovering wolf packs in the state. Today, Defenders of Wildlife sent Governor Inslee a letter requesting that he work with WDFW to rescind this protocol until the WDFW's stakeholder Wolf Advisory Group and the public have an opportunity to provide further input on this matter.
Today, the Fish and Wildlife Service released the official annual count of Mexican gray wolves in Arizona and New Mexico. This year's count tallied 83 wolves, an increase of only eight individuals from the 2012 year-end population of 75 wolves.
President Obama made a strong commitment to addressing climate change in his 2014 State of the Union address.

Guardianship in Oregon
A.Authority: ORS 109.056, 125.055
Any person may apply to the court to become a guardian of a minor under ORS 125.055. Under another statute, ORS 109.056, a parent, through a "power of attorney," can delegate their parental powers to another for a period not exceeding six months. This does not need to be a court proceeding, but the power of attorney should be properly drafted and signed before a notary. A person petitioning for a guardianship to the court must give appropriate notice to the child, the child's recent custodians, and the child's birth parents. In addition, the person must show a need for the guardianship, because the child's essential needs for physical health and safety are not being met.
C.Relief Available
A guardian has the powers and responsibilities of a parent, except that the guardian is not responsible to provide his or her personal funds to support the child. A guardian may petition for appropriate public assistance or child support from one or both of the child's parents.

In determining the amount of alimony, the Oregon court considers the duration of the marriage, the recipient's education, current skills and previous employment experience, the financial needs and resources available for each party, the tax consequences of paying or receiving alimony, and the financial responsibility for children. The court may consider other factors deemed relevant to make a ruling on support that it considers just and equitable.

They made the exception for obsolete computer programs/games among others. Their definition of obsolete is:
A format shall be considered obsolete if the machine or system necessary to render perceptible a work stored in that format is no longer manufactured or is no longer reasonably available in the commercial marketplace.
Takedown orders will still hold, if the content is still manufactured. Well, at least they don't have to wait until it reaches public domain!
The first few pages of the official document (pdf warning) give more details.

Bin Laden was logged off, but not al-Qaida
ISLAMABAD Osama bin Laden cut himself off from direct access to the Internet during his final years in Pakistan as he attempted to elude the CIA. But the terror group he founded has been able to seize the power of the Web to spawn an army of online followers who will prolong al-Qaida's war against the West long after his demise.
Al-Qaida's technological evolution illustrates how much the group has changed since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and why it has flourished despite America's decade-long quest to crush it, using everything from drone strikes in Pakistan to secret prisons in Eastern Europe where bin Laden's lieutenants were interrogated.
The U.S. scored its biggest victory in that war on May 2, when U.S. Navy SEALs shot and killed the 54-year-old terror leader during a daring late-night helicopter raid not far from Pakistan's capital.
His death was undoubtedly a blow to al-Qaida, but the group's diffuse, virtual network lives on in militant chatrooms and on social media sites like Facebook and YouTube, where supporters carry forward bin Laden's message and plan the kind of bloody attacks that were his hallmark.
"While bin Laden's death has certainly been lamented within the jihadist community, al-Qaida's copious media over the past 10 years have ensured that bin Laden's videos, speeches, and ideas will continue to incite jihadists all over the world," said Rita Katz, head of the U.S.-based SITE Intelligence Group that monitors Islamic militant messages online.
Unlike its Afghan Taliban allies, who banned television when they were in power, al-Qaida has never rejected modern technology and recognized the importance of an online presence before Sept. 11. But its early efforts were fairly rudimentary. Since then, the group and its affiliates have exploited the Internet to rally and connect supporters, and are very quick to adopt new technology.
Al-Qaida's media production arm, As-Sahab, now produces videos that look like professionally edited documentaries or television news broadcasts that are distributed by Al-Fajr, the group's online media organization, to major militant websites. The videos, which often contain flashy computer graphics, are then uploaded to scores of other sites by al-Qaida supporters.
"Despite extensive counterterrorism success against the group responsible for 9/11, the al-Qaida `brand' now resonates with an increasingly diverse (though still narrow) cross-section of Muslims around the world," said a recent report by the U.S.-based Center for Strategic and International Studies.
Members of the cell who bombed Madrid's commuter train system in 2004 and killed nearly 200 people were radicalized with the help of the Internet, as was U.S. Army Maj. Nidal Hasan, who is suspected of shooting to death 13 people at Fort Hood, Texas, in 2009.
Jarret Brachman, a terrorism expert who has spent nearly a decade monitoring al-Qaida's Internet and media operations, said a confluence of events in 2004 and 2005 turbocharged the group's efforts and helped shape the network in place today.
In May 2004, al-Qaida in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi videotaped himself beheading kidnapped American businessman Nicholas Berg and released the tape on an al-Qaida-linked website.

They'd have to:
1. be a Griffey Jr. type player (starting young) and then some. Let's say they debut at age 20. Then play until they are 44.
2. They'd have to bat leadoff or #2 all 24 years, regardless of speed.
Who in their right mind is going to bat a slow 40 year old in the two hole? For 4 years.
Most players start a steep decline in their mid-30s.
I just don't see that record being broken.
