A half-century after his death, Jack Parsons' twisted legacy lives on in the toxic soup his experiments created – and still hasn't been cleaned up
Part 2 of 2
By Michael Collins
Pasadena Weekly – January 10, 2002
"And all who accept me the ANTICHRIST and the law of the BEAST 666, shall be accursed and their joy shall be a thousandfold greater than the false joys of the false saints." — Jack Parsons
Accursed indeed. When famed rocket scientist Jack Parsons was blown to smithereens in his Pasadena home in 1952, his legendary and lethal legacy didn't die with him. As we reported last week, Parsons was the co-founder of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the military-industrial giant company, Aerojet. The occult-obsessed, drug-addicted man, with a serious and apparently acted-out Oedipus complex, was also key in implementing the idea to start using potassium perchlorate as a rocket fuel oxidizer. This led to the evolution of ammonium perchlorate, which is still used today in American nuke-tipped rockets and the Space Shuttle.
While this seems a laudable legacy in America's quest to conquer the skies, it also has left us with an apparently poisonous posterity that Parsons may have never imagined when he came to his untimely demise at the age of 37. Today, NASA-owned JPL, whose prime contractor is Caltech, is gravely polluted requiring an intense Superfund cleanup, an Environmental Protection Agency program that targets the most serious hazardous waste sites across the nation. Two of Aerojet's facilities, in the San Gabriel city of Azusa and the Sacramento County community of Rancho Cordova, are also Superfund sites. Indeed, Parsons' innovations in the use of perchlorate have led to pollution problems across the state.
Quite a fitting legacy for the man who envisioned himself the Antichrist.
"Caltech and JPL have done some pretty terrific things," asserts Jonathan Parfrey, local director of the Nobel Peace Prize-winning group Physicians for Social Responsibility, "but there is a rarely reported dark legacy as well. Advances in technical science do not equate advances in ethical behavior." Jonathan Parfrey is the brother of Feral House publisher Adam Parfrey, whose book "Sex and Rockets," based on Jack Parsons' eerie epoch, was profiled in last week's cover story.
"Robert Millikan made Caltech a technical school to provide engineers for Los Angeles' burgeoning aircraft industry — so over the past eighty years, its students and professors, as a matter of course, have bent the laws of nature to make the most destruction weapons on the planet," Parfrey said, referring, in part, to the missiles that propel America's nuclear-tipped warheads.
"Borne of Caltech, JPL's first mission was to move jet-propulsion from the theoretical, from the chalkboard, into a weapon of war. When the Army ran JPL, between 1945 and 1957, in the midst of the Cold War, they operated in this rarified culture. Because there was this state of national emergency, the lab didn't really consider the long term environmental effects of its work. For forty years the good people living downstream of JPL drank their tainted water. So badly polluted, the local aquifers are now a Superfund site. And some of Pasadena's wells have been shut down and local water will need to be treated for a very long time."
The Weekly first reported on JPL's pollution woes in July 1998. At that time, the paper revealed that the 176-acre JPL site was plagued by numerous volatile compounds (VOCs) including the carcinogenic solvents trichloroethylene (TCE), tetrachloroethylene, and carbon tetrachloride which has resulted in a $114 million dollar cleanup.
Since then, the Weekly has discovered that the sources of contamination at JPL include "approximately 35 seepage pits where liquid and solid wastes were reportedly disposed of, a settling chamber in the JPL storm drain system, contaminated soil excavated from part of that system, and an area where waste solvents were dumped into three separate holes," according to an EPA document obtained by the paper. "Hazardous substances located at JPL include waste solvents, solid fuel rocket fuel propellants, cooling tower chemicals, sulfuric acid, freon, mercury, and chemical laboratory wastes."
VOC contamination in the groundwater forced the shutting of four Pasadena municipal wells, which were reopened again for "service" after NASA installed a treatment system. Additionally, the Lincoln Avenue Water Company installed treatment systems to rid the water of toxic goo at two of its wells. The systems "reduced," but did not apparently eliminate, "potential risks to human health" for the "approximately 120,840 people (who) live within 4 miles of (JPL); an estimated 68,000 people obtain drinking water from municipal within 4 miles of the site," according to the EPA. Dozens of sick folks, some afflicted with Hodgkin's disease, ended up filing a class action against JPL, Caltech and the U.S. government over this poisonous part of Jack Parsons' posterity.
The total mass of the VOCs at JPL in the vadose zone, which is the soil between the ground surface and the water table about 200 feet below, is estimated to be no more than 5,040 pounds. A soil vapor extraction (SVE) system pilot test was installed at JPL in 1998 and at least 200 pounds of the VOC goo was removed during the test extraction. The EPA was pleased with the results and has stated that "SVE is a feasible option for remediation of VOCs in soils."

A STRIKE by Air Namibia's pilots that was due to start last night has been postponed indefinitely to give a chance to ongoing negotiations between the airline and the pilots' association.
The parties were still meeting last night in a last-ditch attempt to hammer out a deal.
The pilots under the Namibian Airline Pilots' Association (Napa) had given 62 hours' notice of a strike starting at midnight last night if there was no agreement in their salary negotiations.
Xavier Masule, general manager of commercial services, told The Namibian yesterday afternoon that the strike had been postponed and that the operations of the airline would not be disrupted.
The postponement of the strike could not be confirmed with Napa officials, who were locked in negotiations.
Napa president Christian Schneider warned on Tuesday that there wouldn't be any Air Namibia flights as of today if there was no deal.
Schneider said pilots had had no salary increases since 2009.
More than 92% of Napa members this week participated in a strike ballot and 100% of them voted in favour of industrial action.
"NAPA gave 62 hours' notice of our intention to strike, commencing with cessation of flying duties at 00h00 Wednesday morning," he added.
"This applies to flights originating out of Windhoek after that time. Napa has an obligation to return all aircraft to their home base even after commencement of the strike, which we will honour," he added.
A pilots' strike was narrowly averted in September 2008 after an eleventh-hour deal.
Last week, the national airline also avoided a strike after they signed a deal on salary increases with the Namibia Transport and Allied Workers Union, which excluded pilots.
Air Namibia said a month ago that there would be no salary increases.
Theo Namases, the managing director of Air Namibia, said there was no money for increases and the airline's board had told management to inform the workers that a salary increase should be put on hold for a few months.

New boy in Oakland
Hey folks, first post in this nuthouse, but I already feel at home!
I dithered for years, but finally picked up my first bike last August- a venerable 1976 CB550.
It came home with a cam chain rattle, missing various minor bits, peeling paint, no front brake light switch and flipped-over bars, but damnit, it was mine and it was my first bike!
Then I did an oil change, which turned into a massive 50-day rebuild project, and by the time I was done the old beast ran like new and had a brushed steel tank and some other Mad Max-ian goodies.
Here it is overlooking the San Francisco Bay from Grizzly Peak Road in Oakland (maybe Berkeley at this point, I'm not sure).
These old Hondas are hugely popular with hipsters building cafe racers these days, so I sold it off at a hefty profit and sunk the money into a much newer 2005 Vulcan 500. Newer, reliable, and something I could focus on riding in stead of wrenching.
I picked the new steed up in Lemoore (about 40 miles south of Fresno) and rode it back to Oakland, more than doubling my total miles in one swell foop. The next week, my brother and I rode down to Santa Cruz for a shakedown, and came back up via Highway 1 and Halfmoon Bay. By the time we got home it was so cold we were clutching our engine blocks at every light. But boom- fast, reliable transportation! Already came with bags and a solo seat, all it needs is some racks for luggage, and I should have a sweet little beast for tuckering around the back roads.
Yeah, you'll fit right in. :lol3
You live in a great spot for fun day trips. The Hwy 1 to HMB is classic Bay Area. Skyline drive at the top of Hwy 92 is a mecca for motorcycles. Hwy 9 is another good road near Santa Cruz. The Sonoma area also has some great riding, too. When the weather clears in spring, Tahoe makes a nice weekend trip, especially if you avoid Hwy 80 and 50.:wink:
Thanks! That was my first attempt at tearing apart an engine, but with some help from the good folks over at SOHC4.net it wasn't bad at all. And now I'm itching to get my hands into the Vulcan and muck with it. I needs a rack or two, a more comfortable seat for long trips, hand guards for rain...
I'll need to check out Sonoma- I went to school in Davis and Sacramento, so I know 80 & 50 all too well. I rode pillion from Davis up to Berryessa on 128, and ever since I've been dying to complete the loop down to the Bay Area.
One of the largest makers of aftermarket seats in the industry is right down in Hollister: Corbin.
I don't see the 500 listed, but they do custom work too. Expensive, though, but most seats will be.
Yeah, I've looked at Corbin, and I may still go that route. I'm doing this on the cheap as much as I can, so I'll likely either see if my ass gets used to the solo seat or try my hand at reupholstering. The other thought was to call Corbin and see if they want to run a model off my bike- they sometimes borrow bikes for a few weeks to take a pattern off it, and then you get the first seat. The 500 isn't made anymore, though, so I rather doubt they'll go for it...
Pretty active ADV community in the Bay Area.
Check this thread, come out and meet some locals.
oFFicial EastBay Meet and Eat thread
Also, there is our almost weekly coffee night in Alameda. Wednesdays, Blue Danube Coffee, roughly 5:30-7pm
Cool, thanks gents! I saw the Eat and Great thread, but put it on the back burner for now- but the Blue Danube is a favorite hangout of mine, so that's more likely something I can pop out to.
New riders welcome? I've got less than 500 miles under my wheels (and a top-end engine rebuild, but that's a whole different kettle of fish).

Longtime resident took up painting in 1950s and hasn't let up
If Muriel Roston invites you into her La Costa home to see her paintings, be prepared for a surprise … and bring a snack, because it will take the better part of an hour to see all of the 150-plus canvases that fill the walls and studio of her house.
Roston turned 90 on Sept. 9, and the self-taught artist is still actively painting and exploring new techniques, media and inspirations. Roston's work has been exhibited locally at Carlsbad's William D. Cannon Art Gallery, the La Costa Spa & Resort gallery and the Enchanted Light Gallery in Del Mar, but her favorite exhibition space is her own home.
Virtually every inch of wall space in the 4,000-square-foot house she shares with husband, Irv Roston, is filled with vividly colored large-scale oils, acrylics, watercolors, charcoal drawings, pastels and mixed-media pieces. Although she has lost count of how many paintings she owns, Roston says she has given at least 100 more away to local hospitals, senior care centers, charity auctions, family and friends.
"I love coming into my studio and painting. I listen to classical music and old songs by Frank Sinatra, and when I start painting, I forget all the problems of the world. If I can make something like this," she said, waving her hand past a row of finished canvases, "then that makes me happy."
Roston grew up in Los Angeles, the daughter of an architect. At 20, she married Irv, a hotel and real estate developer, and was a stay-at-home mother of two in the 1950s when a friend suggested she take an art class from famed Hollywood photographer/painter Kero Antoyan. He recognized her raw talent and recommended she leave her family and move to Paris to study art.
"When I went home and told my husband what Antoyan had said, he made me quit studying art," Roston recalled with a laugh.
She decided instead to teach herself by studying the work of the masters. Using painting tutorial books by Leon Franks, she learned form and technique. Drawn to the impressionist works of Monet, Manet, Pissarro and Gauguin, she experimented with color, contrast and brush strokes. And inspired by the bold colors and thickly layered pigment in Italian painter Nicola Simbari's work, she became adept at painting with a palette knife. Her varied subjects included flowers from her garden, her children, her pets, tropical birds, fish, wildlife and photographs from magazines and newspapers.
When she began selling some of her paintings in the early 1960s, she applied to L.A.'s Otis College of Art and Design and was accepted. She had to drop out early, though, when her family moved to San Diego, where her husband codeveloped the La Costa Spa & Resort. The home they have shared since 1965 was the first house built in La Costa. Twenty-five years ago, Irv added a large backyard studio where his wife could paint and teach art classes.
Karen McGuire, director of the Cannon Gallery in Carlsbad, describes Roston's painting style as "lush and sumptuous."

Dear Lifehacker,
I'm not a developer or anything, but I'm really excited about the new improvements in iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite. Is it safe to install the betas for them? What's the experience going to be like if I do?
Bleeding Edgar
Dear BE,
After the announcements earlier this week, we're pretty stoked about both iOS 8 and Yosemite too, but as with most of Apple's betas, it's pretty hard to recommend that anyone who isn't a developer check them out. Let's start with iOS 8 before moving onto Yosemite.
Hold Off on Installing iOS 8 Until the Fall
Over the years, Apple has repeatedly shown us that installing beta versions of iOS is always a bad idea. They're buggy, unstable, hard to use, drain your battery life, and make a bunch of your apps unusable. iOS 8 is no different.
As a general recommendation, it's a bad idea to install beta software on any device you use daily. This is especially the case with your phone, which you use for all kinds of things. In the case of iOS 8, you'll likely lose the ability to use a handful of your favorite apps (this forum post on iMore compiles which apps are working and which aren't) and your phone will be a bit clunky to use.
With iOS 8 specifically, you won't have access to most of the big features until it officially launches. Healthkit won't be too useful until other apps tap into it and the same goes for Homekit. Likewise, Continuity will be useless until Yosemite is released. Other big features, like the new photo management tool, third party keyboards, family sharing, or even the new messaging features won't be useful until iOS 8 is public. Basically, all you'll get are a handful of cool, but not revolutionary features. Most of which you can just get from jailbreaking instead.
All that said, if you still want to check out iOS 8, Gizmodo has a guide for where to get it and how to install it. Just make sure you backup all your data before you do so.
If you decide it's just too buggy for you, you can go back to iOS 7.1.1, but it'll take a little bit of work. Downgrading will erase all the data on your device and set it up fresh install, so make sure you're prepared for that:
- Download the iOS 7.1.1 IPSW file for your device (you can find a list of direct links here)
- Put your phone in recovery mode: Turn the phone off, plug it into your computer while holding the Home Button until the device turns on and asks you to connect to iTunes
- In iTunes, Option-Click the "Restore iPhone" button, select your IPSW file, and wait for iTunes to install iOS 7 again
After the installation, your iOS device will be back on iOS 7, but all you data will be gone, so you'll need to wait for it to sync again.
Wait for Yosemite's Public Beta (and Install it the Right Way)
As with iOS 8, if you're a developer (or don't mind going through back channels) you can download the Yosemite beta right now. But for OS X Yosemite, Apple's giving everyone a chance to be a beta tester this summer. If you're not a developer, you are probably better off waiting for the public test.
Apple's a relatively careful company when it comes to their desktop operating systems, so while bugs will certainly be around in the public beta, they're probably not going destroy your system. Developer betas are a lot different though. Since the general assumption with a beta is that you know what you're doing, these early betas tend to be pretty buggy and unstable. More importantly for you, Yosemite isn't feature-complete right now. As Gizmodo notes in their preview post, you'll only be able to use a handful of the new features and the bulk of the really appealing stuff—like Continuity—are missing altogether. Plus, Cult of Mac found that Yosemite has the potential to break app compatibility and make your computer pretty worthless.
Regardless, if you're still itching to check out the beta, you should do so on a partition instead of overwriting Mavericks. This way, you can play around and test the new operating system without messing with your computer. Even though you're installing Yosemite on a new partition, make sure your computer's backed up. Once you've taken care of that, here's how to partition your drive and install Yosemite safely:
- Open Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities).
- Select your Mac's hard drive.
- Select the Partition button.
- Click the "+" icon and decide how large a partition you want (10-30 GB for Yosemite and a few apps should be fine, depending on how much you plan on using it).
- Name your partition and click Apply.
- Launch the Yosemite installer.
- When prompted to choose a disk, click "Show all disks" and select the partition you just created.
That's it. OS X Yosemite will get installed on the new partition, and you'll still have OS X Mavericks for when you want your computer to actually work. You can choose which one to launch by holding Option when you start up your computer.
As we've talked about before, life on the bleeding edge can get messy. When software is in beta, it's not expected to work by the people who make it, so you shouldn't expect it to either. All that said, it can be a rewarding experience to get in on betas early if you're willing to report bugs and deal with the problems. Just make sure you leave yourself an out for when you need your devices to actually work.
Good luck,

MTD 40PO Rotary Lawn Mower feels sporty much with its looks and some features that are optional. The quality and durability levels are good while the technology is no non-sense and would definitely suit the medium sized lawns. This is perfect equipment for the domestic use. The equipment level of use is really good as it gives almost what is required. The details are discussed in this review.
Design and Type:
MTD 40PO Self Propelled Lawn Mower is designed with the rotary type of cutting system. The mode of transmission is self propelled which lets the user to move the mower in his required speed. The body is made of steel material which has red colour finish. Considering the weight it is only 27kg. The wheels are large which gives good movement and they are in the same size with the diameter of 180mm.
This is a perfect one for the domestic use and it works with the efficient engine of type MTD ThorX 35, 123 cm3. The engine is put to start with the pull start system. The engine helps to ride exceptionally well and as desired with the self propelled drive system. The handle is designed to give perfect control which lets you change the direction and works well when there required a twist or turn.
Cutting System:
The cutting width of 40cm makes it well to complete the mowing task easily. The cutting height can also be set variable with the height adjustment at 6 different positions. The cutting height can be set minimum at 20mm and can go maximum up to 90mm. This adjustment can be easily made with the help of the knob which allows changing the cutting height instantly and even on the go.
Features and Functions:
There is a choice of function whether the grass clipping are bagged or set for rear discharge or take up a mulching process which is optional that comes in a separate kit. However, one needs to know that this model is compatible and is been equipped with the required provision to perform various activities.
In case of bagging the grass clippings the grass is been collected in the grass bag which is present in the rear side and is made of soft bag that is breathable to accommodate more quantity. The size of the grass bag is with 60 litres capacity. Optionally the grass clipping can also be set for the rear discharge which eliminates the task of disposal of the collected grass yet works as nutrition. More so the interesting and the useful type is the mulching which is possible in this mower with the additional purchase of the mulch kit. In this case the grass clippings are further cut into tiny pieces and are left behind in the lawn to add up the nutrition.
The other features of MTD 40PO Mulching Lawn Mower are the handle that is both adjustable and foldable. This makes it appropriate for the users of any age group. The deflector is in the standard size. The wheels have rubber tyre to make the drive smoother. The deck made of steel helps to reduce the weight of the product and it also withstands any small hits.
On the whole this model is placed in the right manner for greater attention. It does a great job when used for the domestic purpose and the manufacturer seems to support the product with a reasonable guarantee.

John Abraham is a great signing by the Arizona Cardinals
The Arizona Cardinals have flopped in signing aging veteran free agents in the past. See Alan Faneca, Joey Porter, Emmitt Smith, Edgerrin James. Sometimes you catch lightning in a bottle (Kurt Warner) but most times you don't. You get an aging star trying to cash in with one last paycheck. I don't see that being the case with John Abraham. Since he was drafted by the New York Jets in the first round in 2000, he has been one of my favorite players in the league. A hard-working, team-leading, quarterback-sacking badass. And even at the ripe old age of 35, I don't see this as a guy coming to Arizona to cash in on one more paycheck and pick up some golf clubs. Abraham is the consummate professional; he gives it his all game in and game out and doesn't take plays off.
He is the active career sacks leader for a reason, but sacks aren't all he does. Abraham, as you will soon see, is someone who makes game-changing plays. He has 44 forced fumbles in his career, and if its not a sack it's a hurry, a pressure or a knockdown. He's just a guy that everyone will enjoy playing with and a guy you want in the trenches with you -- a guy quarterbacks fear.
How much he has left at his age is yet to be determined, but based on his play last season, that tank isn't even half-empty. With the Cardinals, he will be part of a linebacking corps that consists of a lot of new players -- Karlos Dansby, Jasper Brinkley and Lorenzo Alexander -- and they drafted Kevin Minter and Alex Okafor. So that's a crowded position, but Abraham is too good to not be a contributor and earn his playing time. He had always been a down lineman as a defensive end until last season with Mike Nolan as defensive coordinator in Atlanta where he played in the 3-4. He will likely be out there on passing downs, but not dropping into coverage covering tight ends. But he is also a depth provider on the defensive front. So you may see him play both defensive end and linebacker.
The Cardinals may be thinking of him as a 40-45 snaps per game player, but if he does what he has always done, that number will go up. That the Cardinals got him on a two-year deal for around $6 million is a solid signing.
I can't wait to watch him play.

Mets Planning Reyes Video Tribute, Going a Little Too Far
The Mets are planning a video tribute for former shortstop Jose Reyes when he returns to Citi Field. From the Daily News:
ATLANTA — The Jose Reyes era is over in Flushing, but the shortstop and Mets plan to share one more memorable moment.
According to a team source, the Mets will acknowledge Reyes' nine years in New York with a video tribute on April 24, before the shortstop's Citi Field unveiling as a Miami Marlin. That game opens a three-game series.
Reyes, who won the first batting title in club history last season, agreed in December with the Marlins on a six-year, $106 million contract.
I don't like it. This is too soon. Yes, the Mets and fans are moving on just fine- having a better season than Reyes' Marlins- but we are just months removed from his dissing and betrayal of the city that loved and embraced him for so many years. If the Mets had traded him, or it he had been more gracious in his departure, I would have a problem with it. The way he left enraged many in the organization and the fanbase, and there is still tension. I know that I will never look at Reyes the same again. Maybe other Mets fans will be more forgiving.
He deserves at least a little something for his contributions to some very good teams in 2006, 2007, and 2008, but a video tribute is going just a bit too far. It's not like he is fading away, soon to retire like Mike Piazza was when he returned to Shea as a member of the Padres. Jose is going to be around, in the division, terrorizing Mets fans for years to come with his speed and rocket arm at shortstop.
A little standing ovation is all Jose should get. A video tribute? It's too soon.
Let me know what you think. I'm sure I'll be in the minority on this one…

He travels in an SUV loaded with straw and 10 or so donated bags of Kibbles 'n' Bits. By the end of the day they're gone -- given away so owners can feed their dogs. Deutsch, a 50-year-old advertising copywriter, is a volunteer with the Animal Care Network, a Ferndale agency that focuses on helping animals in Pontiac and Inkster.
The work often involves cajoling those who aren't taking care of the animals to give them up. He's seen something else in recent months -- dogs trapped in abandoned houses, in yards or roaming the street, their owners nowhere to be found.
"We're seeing more dogs being left behind," said Deutsch, of Oak Park. "We'll call the police. We'll call animal control and hopefully they'll take care of it. It's not unusual for someone to leave seven dogs behind when they leave."
Complaints about abandoned animals are soaring amid Metro Detroit's listless economy and foreclosure crisis. Sometimes, the pets are given to a shelter. Sometimes, they're just let out the door and face sickness and starvation.
Often, they breed, creating another generation of problems.
Complaints to the Michigan Humane Society about abandoned animals have nearly tripled since 2003 to 1,381 last year. They come as foreclosures have jumped 68 percent statewide in one year to 136,205 filings in 2007, according to RealtyTrac Inc., an Irvine, Calif.-based group.
Last year, Michigan ranked third nationwide in foreclosures behind only Nevada and Florida. Filings fell 7 percent in January from a year ago. Now, Michigan ranks 10th -- an improvement.Still, the phone rings constantly at the Animal Care Network, said Marie Skladd, president. Tips come from people who hear strays barking in abandoned homes or suspect abuse. Often, they come from the owners themselves, who simply can't afford to keep their pets anymore.
"It's virtually a daily occurrence now, Skladd said. "Over the last year with people losing their jobs, now all of the sudden they're stuck because foreclosures are almost imminent now."
Financial troubles forced Raynail Mayes to give away her two dogs -- a 1-year-old pit bull and another year-old mixed breed. The Pontiac resident recently moved to another rental in the city to save money. The landlord doesn't allow dogs.
"My son is very attached to the dogs," said Mayes, 35, "But I just can't afford it anymore."
Shelters are seeing an influx of atypical canines, said Elaine Greene, executive director of the Dearborn Animal Shelter. It's a sign the financial crisis has crept into the higher income brackets.
"Typically, we get the not-so-adoptable, unwanted dogs. We get a lot of pit bulls," Greene said. "Now were seeing a different type of dog come in -- purebred and small-breed dogs."
The shelter last week had a purebred golden retriever. The dog even has a tracking chip imbedded under its skin.
"We've had no luck finding the owners. The phone numbers are disconnected. I'm fearful they may have moved on," Greene said last week.
The owners were never found. But the golden retriever was adopted by another family, who picked him up Friday.
Officials at the no-kill Last Chance Rescue in Howell, are turning pets away. There are about 30 dogs in the kennel. Another 45 or so are with "foster" families.
"They're very, very sad to have to leave their dog behind, but many times, they have to either move out of state or into an apartment," said Mary McIntyre of Last Chance Rescue.
There are small but frequent successes. Pam Porteous of the Animal Rescue League in Pontiac recently convinced a resident to give up a Rottweiler kept in a backyard.
The dog was about 50 pounds underweight and had about a week to live, Porteous said.
Now, the dog has put on 15 pounds and has a home lined up when it's healthy.
Foreclosure agent Debbie Raider became a rescuer herself about a month ago.
She taped a foreclosure notice to a house in Monroe County and discovered something strange -- a purebred German shepherd trapped inside, left behind by his owner a week or so earlier.
Raider contacted sheriff's deputies and had neighbors get in touch with the former owner. He gave her permission to take the dog, and Raider became a savior to Champ. She spent about $1,000 to get veterinary treatment for the underweight, unhealthy dog.
It has been CAPS' pleasure to have the assistance of Evan Deutsch and Marie Skladd with investigations, rescues and other work in Michigan. Animal Care Network is part of Michigan Animal Adoption Network (MAAN). We look forward to a continued association with such a wonderful nonprofit organization.

Sunday Favorites: The Sarasota Assassination Society, Part 1
|A band of thugs known as the Sarasota Vigilance Committee began harassing some of the citys most prominent families.
SARASOTA Today Sarasota is known for its posh yachting atmosphere, distinguished downtown attractions and art infused waterfront, but it didnt always have a good reputation. In the late 1880s, a Florida newcomer by the name of Alex Browning described Sarasota as bad as a village of its size could be.
In 1885, shootings, rustlings and knifings occurred on a regular basis. There were several murders that were never investigated, that is, until a band of thugs formed and began harassing some of the citys most prominent families.
It started as a bunch of cowboys getting lit on sugar cane and riding up and down the street, according to the 150th Anniversary addition of the Manatee County Sheriffs history. They shot their pistols in the air from their horses while at full gallop. They yelled obscenities in the middle of the night. Folks were scared to come out of their houses. At least five murders had taken place in 1883, the text notes, including a Bee Ridge man who had his throat slit before he was shot no one bothered investigating.
But that was only the beginning. Sarasota was still part of Manatee County, which at that time stretched all the way to Charlotte Harbor. The village was sparsely populated then, and the law couldnt touch those hardy pioneers that had settled there. Only one sheriff patrolled the entire county and his headquarters were in the Village of Manatee (present day east Bradenton), which was located over 16 miles away. The jail and courthouse were at Pine Level, over 40 miles inland and only one circuit court judge served the entire state.
|This 1860 map of Manatee County shows a broad expanse accross the state.
It used to be more dangerous to kill a razorback that had destroyed ones crops than it was to kill a person, Browning wrote.
Sheriff Sandy Watson was a family man. He and his wife had five children before she died, and Watson never remarried. When he took the position of Sheriff, he walked into an era of political strife and animosity stemming from the Civil War. When democratic President Grover Cleveland took office, the Reconstruction Period following the War Between the States had theoretically ended. However, as Janet Snyder Matthews articulates in her book the Edge of Wilderness, Sarasota was still divided.
Although Snyder states that most of the original pioneers had left the area, the lifestyles of poverty-stricken Crackers living in Sarasota contrasted greatly with newly arriving families whose members were educated farmers and capitalists from the north. Many of them had served as officers in the Union Army.
A secret society was created by a group of former Confederate soldiers called the Sarasota Vigilance Committee. Those who joined, or were forced to join, swore an oath not to reveal anything about the society. The act was punishable by torture and death, according to the Manatee County Sherriff history.
|The postmaster, Charles Abbe, and his family became targets for the vigilantes.
The sole purpose of this committee was to murder five of the areas most prominent men: Robert Greer, Furman Whittaker, Harrison Tip Riley, Charles Abbe and Stephen Goings. However, the society was not discovered until the postmaster, Charles Elliott Abbe, was murdered in broad daylight. His body was never recovered.
Abbe, a native of Illinois, brought his wife and two teenage daughters to Manatee in November of 1877. Abbe had been a salesman for the Singer Sewing Machine Company, and had visited Florida in the winter months. In 1876, he had purchased a total 359 acres, 120 of which were located in the heart of present-day Sarasota, for $1 per acre. However, Abbe didnt stop there; in the next three years he would buy up 300 more acres, most of which was waterfront.
In the following years Abbe became an industrious farmer, the family homestead was known as Helena. Only eight months after his arrival, he applied for a public post office to be in his house; the first one on Sarasota Bay. Abbe was postmaster.
The greater majority of the community accepted the family, even more so after Abbes daughter Nellie married Furman Whittaker, the first native-born resident of Manatee County to become a doctor and practice in the area. (Whittaker was born at Fort Branch during the Third Seminole War Seminoles burned the home of his parents. His family founded Sarasota.)
However, not everyone held the Abbe family in high regard. They soon found themselves the target of the Vigilantes who harassed the entire family for months before they killed Abbe in cold blood.

By Priyanka Bhadani
While you are applauded for almost all the roles that you do, does being a part of Kick, give you a kick?
I am really happy with the way people have reacted to my character, Shiv Gazra, in the film. While it remains a Salman Khan film, I feel great to be a part of it as the masses have embraced me.
But how important is it to be a part of an out-and-out commercial venture like this?
This was an important project for me in a lot of ways. The most important thing is that now when my films made on smaller-budget with limited promotional activities will release, this one role will push those films as the masses have recognised me now.
So, you think it will assure audiences for your upcoming films?
I am hoping it will as the audience now knows me and recognise me as an actor.
Have offers from big banner films changed you as a person?
I don't think so. My basic instinct for choosing a role still remains the same. The passion for acting is also similar and I still take each day of my work as seriously as I did earlier.
Did you see any change in the audience perception after Kahaani, which also became commercially-successful and even your role was appreciated in that?
Of course, the perception had changed even then. I had come into the limelight. But in this case, it is even more bigger as Kick is being seen by a larger audience, much bigger than that of Kahaani or any other film because it has a superstar like Salman Khan.
Talking about superstars, does it bother you that your role will be overshadowed by them as they would always get bigger chunk in the film?
When you zero down on signing a film, you think a lot about the pros and cons. You go through your role as well as the entire script properly to understand the character you are playing, in the best way. In this case, the way Sajid (Nadiadwala) narrated me the script, I became quite interested and I am thankful to him that he stuck to that without any chopping or cutting.
Does the success and appreciation for your role in Kick mean that your orientation would change?
I would like to do a few films like these, may be one in a year. However, my focus will still be on the kind of films I have been known for and have been doing for years – the content-oriented, small-budget films.
What do you think restricts the success of small-budget films?
It's not that the small-budget films are not successful. If you look at the logistics, they recover the money and most of the time even earn pretty well. I had done a film called Miss Lovely directed by Ashim Ahluwalia. The film was really good but since it wasn't promoted well, the public at large didn't even get to know about it. …continued »

Gagne traded. He's not impressed. The Los Angeles Kings have traded Simon Gagne to the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for a conditional fourth-round pick that they acquired from Phoenix, as seen on Philadelphia's official Twitter account. Gagne skated with the Flyers between 1999-00 and 2009-10 (10 seasons) before spending one season in Tampa Bay (2010-11) and a little more than one full season with Los Angeles (2011-12, 2013). Welcome back to Philadelphia, Simon Gagne. The veteran returns to Philadelphia after an extremely slow start to 2013 with the LA Kings. In 11 games, Gagne has yet to score his first goal of the season. He's been able to chip in five assists, but to say his goal drought has been disappointing is an understatement. His struggles date back to a 2011-12 season where injuries limited the forward to just 34 games. When he was healthy, he was a shell of his former high-scoring self. He tallied just seven goals with the Kings, yet ultimately emerged a winne...

-According to the Victoria Police, a sword is defined as follows. 'A thrusting, striking or cutting weapon with a long blade (blunt or otherwise), having one or two edges and a hilt or handle.' This includes original, replicas, backyard creations and pretty much anything not made of wood that may be considered a weapon. Remember, anything you use offensively becomes a weapon under law.

You are not covered by your club exemptions if you are breaking the Law by not adhering to each aspect of the Controlled Weapons Act.
If you wish to import any swords – you must contact the Victorian Police for an B709b Permit of Import- then apply to Customs in Canberra- this is the procedure –the Guild Exemption is not enough- contact the Victoria Police for full details.
For legally binding information, check out the mailto:email@example.com website. Alternatively, see our Articles page for police commissioner notes on Weapons Classifications.
Ensuring that the weapons storage facility is 'not readily accessible' and/ or 'not available' simply means that all reasonable measures have been taken to make sure that the weapon is secured in a manner which ensures that an unauthorised person is unable to remove the weapon. For example, a sword is considered 'not readily accessible' or 'not available' if it is bolted to the wall, or locked in a glass cabinet, thereby preventing an unauthorised person gaining possession of the weapon.
Contact Victorian Police for up-to date info as YOU are responsible for correct storage as per the Law in your state.
For legally binding information, check out the Police Licensing Website, or e-mail them.

GT5 nears release as game disks roll off production line
Although Gran Turismo 5 was due to hit shelves later this week before having its November 5th release date devastatingly removed, the long awaited and frequently delayed title has finally gone to print, series creator Kazunori Yamauchi has revealed.
Speaking at the Las Vegas car show SEMA yesterday Yamauchi proclaimed that following five years and $60 million in development, discs of the fifth addition to the Gran Turismo franchise are currently rolling off the production line.
.relatedLinksLeft { font-size:12px; width:300px; margin:12px 12px 12px 0; float:left; padding:0px 0px 10px 0px; background:#ececec; } h3.rlTitle {margin:0px; display:block; padding:5px 0 4px 15px !important; background:#ddd; }
"The discs are being stamped as we speak," Yamauchi told expectant gamers. The GT head honcho has come under criticism in recent months follow endless delays to the upcoming title and his anal level of obsession to detail that saw many eager fans give up hope on ever receiving the game
Although an exact date for Gran Turismo 5's arrival has yet to be announced, the news that Yamauchi and his team have finally downed tools and handed the game over to the disc producers leans strongly in the favour of a pre-Christmas arrival.
T3 last month gave readers the opportunity to try out GT5 for free in UK for the first time as event attendees got behind the wheel of the virtual racer in all its 3D glory.
Stay tuned to T3.com and the T3 Twitter and Facebook feeds for all the latest on Gran Turismo 5's imminent release and date announcements.

Despite evidence that contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (CPM) does not improve survival rates, an increasing number of young women with breast cancer elect to remove their healthy breast to avoid recurrence and improve survival. Researchers surveyed 123 women aged 40 or younger without known bilateral breast cancer who reported having bilateral mastectomy. The purpose of the survey was to better understand how women approach the decision to have CPM. The survey included questions about the womens health history, reason for choosing CPM, and knowledge and perceptions about breast cancer. Most of the women (n = 97) had stage I or stage II breast cancer and 60 percent of tumors were estrogen receptor-positive. Almost all (98 percent) of the women surveyed indicated that desires to decrease their risk for contralateral breast cancer (CBC) prompted their decision to remove the healthy breast. Although 94 percent of the women surveyed said they chose bilateral mastectomy to increase survival, only 18 percent reported thinking that CPM improved survival rates. Almost all of the women surveyed overestimated the actual risk of CBC. While physicians were identified as the most important sources of information about breast cancer, only one-third of the women cited a desire to follow a physicians recommendations as an extremely or very important factor in their decision. The authors suggest that this survey underscores a need for better risk communication strategies that help patients make decisions based on evidence.
Varenicline is safe and effective to help smokers with current or past major depression quit smoking. Approximately half of smokers seeking treatment have a history of depression. This is a clinically important relationship because depression and smoking are among the leading causes of disability and death in the world and having depression makes quitting smoking more difficult. Varenicline has proven more effective than bupropion for smoking cessation, but because of its mechanism of action, there are concerns about the safety of varenicline in patients with psychiatric disorders. In a phase 4* double-blind, randomized trial, 525 adult smokers with stably treated current or past major depression and no recent cardiovascular events were assigned to either varenicline, 1 mg twice daily, or placebo for 12 weeks, followed by 40 weeks of no treatment. Patients were evaluated for smoking abstinence and changes in mood and anxiety levels. The researchers found that patients in the varenicline group were about twice as likely to quit smoking than those in the placebo group, with the effects persisting throughout the 40-week follow-up phase. There were no clinically relevant differences in mood, anxiety, or overall worsening of depression in either group. The verenicline group had more adverse events including nausea, headache, abnormal dreams, irritability, and insomnia.
*Phase 4 trials are conducted after an intervention has already been approved and marketed. These trials are used to evaluate long-term safety and effectiveness, and can also help to determine optimal use.
A new policy paper from the American College of Physicians (ACP) sets the framework for a team-based model of health care. Principles Supporting Dynamic Clinical Care Teams outlines more than a dozen principles for creating more nimble, adaptable partnerships that encourage teamwork, collaboration, and smooth transitions of responsibility to ensure the best possible care for patients. While reaffirming its support of the Joint Principles of the Patient-Centered Medical Home in the paper, ACP said it recognizes that the current model of health care delivery will need to change to meet the coming demand of patients. Highly-functioning teams typically assign responsibility and authority for distinct organizational domains to the person or persons most appropriate for the tasks required, the paper says. Clinical care teams will vary in their composition depending on the medical specialty (e.g., internal medicine or cardiology), the clinical setting (inpatient, outpatient, small practice, large institution) and will vary in their function depending on leadership, institutional policies, available team members, even individual talents and characteristics of specific team members. Optimal effectiveness of clinical care teams requires a culture of trust, shared goals, effective communication, and mutual respect for the distinctive skills, contributions, and roles of each team member. These principles offer a framework for an evolving, updated approach to health care delivery, providing policy guidance that can be useful to clinical teams themselves in organizing their care processes and clinician responsibilities consistent with professionalism, Molly Cooke MD, FACP, president of ACP pointed out.
Note: This paper will be published early online with three editorials. Full text of the policy paper and editorials are available to reporters under embargo. The URL for this paper will be live on September 16 at 5:00 p.m. and may be included in news articles.

The following information is to inform you of the rules and expectations of our class and to also ask for your assistance in getting our year off to a fantastic start.
The school gates open at 7:25 AM. Children are to wait for the first bell at the circle marked B9 at 7:35 AM. When the bell rings they are to remain seated until I am present and ask them to line up.
It is very important that your child be on time for school. Our tardy bell starts at 7:40 AM. Once the bell rings, tardy slips must be obtained from the office before students come to class.
Please inform the Doyle office either by phone or in person if your child is sick and cannot attend school. If it's a non medical reason, a short-term contract can be acquired from the office.
Your child may bring lunch from home or purchase a lunch from the cafeteria. Please help your child remember his or her pin number, which will be sent home. For your convenience, you can also purchase a week or a month of lunches in advance.
Please send a small snack every day in addition to your child's lunch. It is helpful to your child if you separate their snack from their lunch, so they know what food to eat at the appropriate time.
If you would like to celebrate your child's birthday at school, you may bring a small treat(cupcakes, cookies, etc.) for your child to share with the class. If you are going to have a birthday party outside of school, I ask that you do not bring party invitations to school unless everyone in the class is invited. I don't want anyone to get his or her feelings hurt.
Parent Volunteers
Volunteers are a crucial part of our class program. It will help make our year successful. I welcome you to volunteer in our classroom, for field trips, or at home. The children do better in school when their parents are involved and let them know that education is important. If you plan to volunteer in our class, please stop by the office and fill out a volunteer application. Volunteers also need a TB test before working with the children. Due to the budget constraints, the district does not provide TB clinics any more. Please visit your health care provider to obtain one.
Red Folders
Doyle PTA has purchased red folders for students in our class. Please keep this folder in a safe place and try to keep it in good condition so that it can be used by your child for the entire year. If the red folder is lost, your child will have to purchase another one. Please have your child bring the red folder to school everyday.
B9 Going Green: My main communication with parents will be via E-mail. Please check your email regularly. Also please make sure you provide me with your email in the student's information form. I will set up the class email as soon as I receive everyone's email address.
I look forward to meeting you!

Re the downpage photo on Monday's L.A. Times A1 from All Saints Church captioned "The Rev. J. Edwin Bacon Jr. embracing a parishioner" after the end of the IRS probe was announced Sunday … well, the photographer failed to note, or failed to know, that the dude in mufti being hugged by the rector in priestly vestments is the church's former rector, George Regas, giver of the anti-war sermon that created the hoo-ha in the first place … Photo in question is not up on the Times' Web page, though two others are.
Front page of today's N.Y. Times Arts section has a story about two new TV shows, "Cane," premiering tonight on CBS, and "Dirty Sexy Money," beginning tomorrow night on ABC. Alessandra Stanley's take: "'Cane' has sex, rum and salsa and still manages to be plodding. 'Dirty Sexy Money' … is set in the suit-and-tie world of New York City and is a lot more fun."
The local angle is that both shows shoot at Villa del Sol d'Oro at Alverno High School in Sierra Madre, the mansion designed by Wallace Neff as a scaled-down version of Villa Corazzi in Florence, said to be Michelangelo's only architectural design.
Alverno head of school Ann Gillick said that out of concern about the title of the latter soap she is reviewing all scripts herself …

The Nigerian Army Training Centre (NATRAC) in Kontagora, Niger State, has graduated another batch of 2,094 soldiers trained in basic counter-terrorism, the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Azubuike Ihejirika, has said.
Ihejirika, who disclosed this at the graduation of the soldiers at Kontagora barracks at the weekend, said those trained included 225 female soldiers
He urged the soldiers to maintain the high level of discipline inculcated in them during the training in the discharge of their duties.
"As you go into the field, I urge you to put those things you have learnt here into practice and do everything in your power to protect innocent citizens.
"Our desire is to see all of you grow in your career; we cannot afford to see any of you dismissed from the army after the training you have received here," he said.
He stressed the need for prudent management of resources and attributed the success he had recorded to the support and cooperation of the media.
"They are important partners, especially in meeting the challenges we are facing today," he added.
NATRAC commander, Major General Sylvester Audu, commended the Chief of Army Staff for providing training facilities and other infrastructure at the centre as well as opportunity for foreign training for officers and men of the army.
"Your continuous assistance and encouragement are our driving force for ensuring unhindered realisation of your vision for NATRAC; this has no doubt increased the quality of instruction and boosted the morale of troops," Audu said.

|Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Scrub, Pink Grapefruit, Value Size, 6.7 Ounce

[The prices listed above may change at any time and in some cases do not include shipping.]
this stuff works amazing, it clears my pimples and blackheads real quick. the only downside? dries my face out like a rice cake. after using, i immediately have to apply moisturizer or else my face gets flaky and too tight.
I have sensitive skin and have light to mild acne. This is my favourite cleanser,This has been the most effective cleanser I have ever used. It is not drying, does not darken my skin and does not break me out.It has improved my overall complexion.
This would dry out my face completely and make it rough.
I've had consistent moderate acne for six years now and have plum near tried everything you can buy at Walmart. This "acne wash" did something awful to my already awful face. It gave me countless whiteheads and a rough texture to my skin. I definitely would not recommend this product unless you really, really like having terrible acne.
I have purchased two bottles of this and have used at least a full one. I dont know why I keep using it, but I dont anymore. It doesnt work at all for acne, in fact I think this is why I broke out. It went from a few pimples to huge ones all over my forehead. It also dries out skin. I switched to Cetaphil.
Unfortunate I kept using this stuff hoping that my skin was just going through a "purge" but after 3 months and the acne getting worse not better I finally stopped using it.
this cleanser is very strange for me.when i looked at the cosdna site, i didn't see any SLS among the ingredients, and when i bought mine,i looked at the back of the bottle and there it was... i don't know,it doesn't dry me out THAT much, just like any other cleanser with sulfates,but oh well...maybe it has a different formula on the european market, a lot of products do. it's not bad and doesn't cause major problems but i will not repurchase.
This has helped the redness of my acne stay under control and has helped reduce the acne on my face. It is very drying but a moisturizer will help that. I used it for about a year but I didn't know that using an acne treatment for so long could make your skin "immune" to it. For that year, my skin basically looked the same (except in the beginning where it was reducing). I like this product but It didn't get rid of as much acne as I would've wished.
i got this wash a couple months ago, and it works, but it dries out my skin like a rice cake, ive found a moisturizer to use with it though. the only thing i dont like is how it gives me a pimple or 2, then other days its like magic. sooo, i really dont know how i feel about it honestly.
I have sensitive skin and have light to mild acne. This is my favourite cleanser. Recently, I have tried a few different cleansers as I was trying different ranges of acne treatment which come with their own cleansers. I have had adverse reactions as a result. This has been the most effective cleanser I have ever used. It is not drying, does not darken my skin (I am a pakistani) and does not break me out. It contains salycylic acid which, as far as I am aware, helps with hyperpigmentation marks. It has improved my overall complexion. It has reduced my blackheads and I believe it has helped my marks fade. I use this with Epiduo which was prescribed to be by my doctor and Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Moisturiser. I used to use the Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Scrub but I find that scrubs break me out so I steam my face instead which is necessary due to the drying effect of the Epiduo.
