In the end, it was chicken on a string that brought a wayward "alligator" out of the Patapsco River.
A two-hour search on Monday evening by Natural Resources Police failed to find a trace of the critter. But Eric Hammack Jr., the 16-year-old fisherman who first reported the reptile on Sunday, returned to the pond off Belle Grove Road in Patapsco Valley State Park on Tuesday. He had decided to try luring the gator with a hunk of chicken on a string.

The Tailgate Pro621 is a six section fiberglass flagpole. It closes to only 59 inches, and telescopes open to 21 feet instantly! Set the Wonder Pole to any desire height. The top section is .75" in diameter, and each succeeding section is .25 inches larger with the bottom section being 2 inches. The Tailgate 621Pro comes set to fly two flags with non-tangle flag attachments, a delux carry bag, end caps, and a 24" high density polypropylene ground sleeve. Super strong, and made by us in the USA!
We have team colors.
Comes with our heavy duty nylon carry bag, two rotational flag attachments, 24" ground sleeve, protective end caps, and instructions. (flags available)
|Wonder Poles® are safer!
Non-conductive fiberglass reduces the electrical hazards commonly associated with metal poles.
Metal poles are banned at some outdoor events. Stronger than aluminum, fly multiple flags.
Wonder Pole® has over-draw stop markers on every section, and is circumferential wrapped for added strength.
To other tailgate flagpoles, click here.
|If you are not 100% satisfied, return the Wonder Pole for a refund. Look for the satisfaction guarantee in the box.
The Wonder Pole is circumferentially wrapped for superior strength and to eliminate cracking. Ordinary fiberglass poles can develop cracks that continue to split upward until the entire pole fails. Just like a crack in the windshield keeps enlarging until it is through the entire glass.
The Wonder Pole® is a composite material. We use a minimum fiberglass content of 70% which is then circular wound with additional fiberglass strands, using a trade secret method that adds tremendous strength, (excess of 75,000 psi) and prevents linear splitting commonly associated with other fiberglass poles. UV inhibitors are added to prevent degradation of the pole when exposed to the elements.
Each section of the pole is wrapped with two layers of the highest quality Nexus® veil which prevents fiber bloom (slivers in your hand), and preserves the integrity of the outer and inner surface of the Wonder Pole®. The pole has nesting sections that fit inside of each other, and draw out to any desired height. Each section has our exclusive "stop markers" to prevent extending the pole too far. The sections are secured into place by turning the Sure Lock Grips™ that are factory molded onto the pole.
We do not use glue or rivets, which come loose, to keep the handles or fittings on the pole. The Wonder Pole® is non conductive, and does not have any of the electrical hazards commonly associated with metal poles. You can replace any part of the pole or add to the Wonder Pole® at any time. Add to this the low weight, superior strength, available accessories, styles, models, and colors available, and you have the best telescopic pole in the world today.
"If it doesn't say Wonder Pole, it's not the strongest fiberglass pole made."

City approves Meatball the bear parade float
GLENDALE, Calif. - A problem bear that gained a nickname and celebrity by stealing frozen meatballs from a Southern California garage freezer will be depicted on a 2014 Rose Parade float.
The Glendale City Council on Tuesday approved a city float that depicts a mechanical Meatball the bear popping up and down from a trashcan, wearing the lid as a hat.
The float design is called "Let's Be Neighbors" and includes other wildlife, including a skunk and coyote.
The foothill suburb has appropriated $155,000 and is seeking public donations for the city's 100th entry in neighboring Pasadena's Tournament of Roses.
Meatball was captured last year and sent back to the Angeles National Forest but he kept returning to Glendale. After the third time, he was shipped to a sanctuary in Alpine.

Hello, my name is Nassor, after General Nassor of Egypt. My name reflects my attitude - I may be small but I will stand my ground. I am about 1 year old. I am very affectionate; enjoy attention and you lap, being petted, and I am fully house-trained. My mom says that I need a strong hand since I am a bit jealous when it comes to other dogs. But my mom knows with some socialization I will turn out very nicely. I do like calm females.
Our adoption fee is $195 – All dogs are current on vaccinations, spayed or neutered, micro-chipped, on heartworm prevention, and are fed top of the line grain-free food.

Intermountain Healthcare has a significant role in the PBS documentary, Money & Medicine, which was shown locally on KBYU Channel 11 on Thursday, April 4. Broadcast nationally last fall, the documentary on U.S. healthcare may prompt viewers to alter some of their own behaviors-whether it's executing an advance directive or learning more about the risks, benefits, and possible outcomes of elective procedures.
To watch the Money & Medicine documentary in its entirety, visit the PBS website at: http://www.pbs.org/programs/money-medicine/
The hour-long film explores the medical, ethical, and financial challenges of containing runaway healthcare spending. With remarkable candor and poignancy, Money & Medicine examines difficult topics such as end-of-life treatment decisions, testing and screening, as well as astounding treatment variations nationally among patients receiving discretionary procedures.
Award-winning producer, Roger Weisberg, chose Intermountain as one of his examples where clinical outcomes are excellent and costs are lower, based on a study by the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice. With permission from patients and clinical staff, a film crew spent two weeks at Intermountain Medical Center talking with patients and physicians about how decisions are made, how care is delivered, and how individual patients are affected.
In addition to the doctor and patient interviews, the film also features interviews with some of the nation's leading health policy experts. One of those interviewed, Elliott Fisher, MD, MPH, of Dartmouth Medical School, says: The secret to Intermountain Healthcare is they use science to improve care and by improving care they reduce the cost of care.
The film's producer has created 31 documentaries on a variety of social issues that have aired in prime time on PBS and networks around the world. His films have won more than 100 awards, including Peabody, Emmy, and duPont-Columbia awards and two Academy Award nominations.

They say that addicts often replace one vice with another, and it appears Lindsay Lohan has dumped her drug lust for men. The "actress" is back on the club scene, and she was spotted on Tuesday night attempting to get someone – anyone – to pay attention to her. The starlet first attempted to get Entourage star Adrian Grenier to dance with her, but her moves were negged with his date showed up. She then made a beeline for notorious man-whore Leonardo DiCaprio, who was hanging with Grenier's co-star Kevin Connelly. "She was very flirty with Leo,? said a fellow club-goer. ?But he wasn?t saying much to her.?
The guys bolted from the club and Lindsay was left alone with just her posse of girlfriends to grind with. But never fear, our heroine was seen drowning her woes in vodka and champagne. Maybe booze makes a better boyfriend? [NYDN]

A two end-member model of wood dynamics in headwater neotropical rivers
Wohl, Ellen; Bolton, Susan; Cadol, Daniel; Comiti, Francesco; Goode, Jaime R.; Mao, Luca. 2012. A two end-member model of wood dynamics in headwater neotropical rivers. Journal of Hydrology. 462-463: 67-76.
Geomorphic and ecological effects of instream wood have been documented primarily along rivers in the temperate zones. Instream wood loads in tropical rivers might be expected to differ from those in analogous temperate rivers because of the higher transport capacity and higher rates of wood decay in the tropics. We use data from four field sites in Costa Rica and Panama to demonstrate that wood loads are consistently lower in tropical rivers, despite substantial variations among tropical sites as a result of differences in mechanisms of wood recruitment. We develop a model of wood dynamics (recruitment, transport, and retention) based on differences in dominant wood recruitment mechanism. The steadystate end-member reflects sites where gradual recruitment of wood through individual tree fall creates a relatively consistent wood load through time and development of logjams is minimal. The episodic end-member reflects sites dominated by episodic mass recruitment via landslides or blowdowns. This facilitates formation of transient logjams, so that wood loads exhibit substantial spatial and temporal variation along the channel network. The model presented here should also apply to headwater streams in the temperate zone, although existing documentation suggests that jams are more persistent along streams in the temperate zone.
Keywords: large woody debris, Costa Rica, Panama, landslides, logjams, wood recruitment

Revisit the beginnings of the magical mystery tour.
The early years of Beatlemania are captured in this fine art photography exhibition from the photo archives of CBS Television. Rare and unpublished images of The Beatles "backstage and behind the scenes," are showcased in the exhibition,
The Beatles! Backstage and Behind the Scenes
," magnifying a condensed 1964 timeframe as the Fab Four won new North American audiences and revolutionized rock music at an unprecedented pace.
The Beatles first visited America in February 1964, performing live on the CBS Ed Sullivan Show both in New York at Studio 50 and in Miami Beach, Florida at the historic Deauville Hotel to promote their new song,
I Want to Hold Your Hand.
Their first full-fledged tour was a month long trek that took them to 20 US cities and three in Canada.
By 1964, The Beatles were already a phenomenon as musicians and songwriters. Add the visual element, made possible by television, and their debut on the Ed Sullivan Show became a cultural event shared by millions. The Fabs, who opened the show, sang
All My Loving, Till There was You, She Loves You, I Saw Her Standing There
I Want to Hold Your Hand
. In the few minutes of that first performance, The Beatles showed the world who would direct the future of pop music.
Taken around the Beatles first North American appearance on the CBS Ed Sullivan Show, the images of this exhibition represent the best of photojournalism 1964. Visitors become witness to the rock-star phenomenon begun by

What is the Air Dock? The Air dock is a wireless charging car dock for your smartphone. It holds your phone with no clips and no clamps. It wirelessly charges your phone without plugging the phone into anything. The face of the Air Dock is a micro suction foam that magically holds your phone in place. Inside the Air Dock are magnets that pull the phone tightly into the foam face. The Qi wireless charger is built into the dock. Any phone that supports Qi charging will automatically charge once placed on the Air Dock. There are many phones that will work on the Air Dock. We are working on testing more and more phones all the time. Right now we can recommend a handful of phones to be used on the Air Dock. (We know there are more, but haven't tested them yet).
The micro suction foam face is pretty cool. Imagine a whole bunch of tiny little suction cups. That's what we have used to hold phones to the Air Dock. Full size suction cups need a smooth glossy surface to stick to. Similarly the micro suction foam needs a smooth glossy phone to hold onto. Any phone with a glossy back will stick great to the micro suction foam. If your phone isn't glossy on the back, then it's just a simple matter of putting it in a case that is smooth and glossy.
The goal was $60,000 and they have raised $79,000 plus with 41 days to go. This is a super success.

Students Rebuild Haiti Construction Update
Reclaimed materials, Bio-Digesters, composting toilets, earth block testing...hardly yesteryear's Haiti. The five projects as part of the Students Rebuild-sponsored Haiti School Initiative are all now under construction, and coming into their own.
While the formal program for Students Rebuild Haiti wrapped at the start of Summer, their website continues to track progress on its five schools.
A synopsis on school construction status follows, with exhaustive coverage of construction and communities available on the Students Rebuild Haiti blog.
École La Dignité - The stone walls, which the Dignité students themselves helped supply have risen to their full height and await roof trusses, already assembled and ready on site.
École Elie Dubois - Demolition continues on damaged and structurally compromised buildings with the blessings of ISPAN, the national preservation organization. Wherever possible materials are being salvaged from the condemned Building 2: tall wood doors, shutters, iron hardware and furniture, and bricks from the building will be reused as pavers. Excavation for a Bio-Digester will commence following the cleaning and removal of the old septic tank.
Collège Mixte Le Bon Berger, Montrouis - Slab is poured and walls are rising! (Note the proper block staggering at column locations required for seismically-sound confined masonry construction.)
École Baptiste Bon Berger, Pele - The groundbreaking ceremony was postponed last week due to Tropical Storm Emily, and has been rescheduled for next week. Meanwhile, the composting latrine block has been redesigned to accommodate a maintenance-reducing revisions–the new block has been assembled in Revit.
Institut Foyer du Savoir - The build crew prepares for construction on a spectacular site. Meanwhile, Pastor Dorcinvil's summer school sent us a few notes of their appreciation...

The Vampire Diaries
Exclusive! Kayla Ewell Dishes on Vicki's Vengeance and How Childhood Memories Will Be Explored
Even though Vicki Donovan's somehow managed to return from the hereafter on The Vampire Diaries, Kayla Ewell still found time to take a break from her duties on the CW hit to guest star on Sunday's episode of A&E favorite The Glades. In this exclusive Wetpaint Entertainment interview, Kayla tells us all about her bikini-clad side-gig in the Miami heat, how her real-life brother will be appearing on TVD — oh, and also about the "huge vengeance" Vicki is about to wreak!
Wetpaint Entertainment: Who do you play on The Glades?
Kayla Ewell: My role is really fun. I play a waitress in a bikini at a popular bar who seems to have one boyfriend but then it turns out there are like a million guys trying to date her and any one of them could be the killer. The show is really beautiful. They shoot on the beach and outside all over Miami. It really was so much fun to be there, aside from the heat, which is absolutely wretched. It's really humid in Atlanta where we shoot The Vampire Diaries, but I would say Miami is even worse. They would literally have to stop in the middle of a scene and wipe the sweat off all of our faces. And they have bugs that are called no-see-ums. They're buried in the sand, which is horrible because we're shooting on the beach and most of the girls are in bikinis. You try to look hot but when you have bug bites all over your legs it's a little hard.
Who did you work with?
Matt Passmore (Longworth) is the guy who I had most of my scenes with, and also Kiele Sanchez (Callie Cargill), who I absolutely adore. Both of them are really great actors and really good sports. That was by far the best set I have ever worked on. From the directors to the producers to the PAs, everyone is so unbelievably happy to be there and gets along so well. The whole time I kept being like, "Is it really like this?" And they were like, "Yeah, all the actors that come in to work on the show always say, 'Wow, this is one of the greatest sets.'" They've really weeded out all the negative people and have kept all the great people.
Will your character be back?
I don't believe so. I'm shooting The Vampire Diaries and they worked it out so that I could fly over to Miami and shoot The Glades then come back. So it's really just a one-time thing, but it's definitely a character that I love to play. She's a vixen and I love to have all the guys wrapped around my finger, and I just have a strategy towards everyone.
There's always a lot of action scenes on The Glades. Did you get to do any?
There's a lot of action scenes in the episode, but I don't really have many. One scene does come to mind, though — I'm one of the only actresses I know who's never been a waitress in my real life, and I keep getting these waitress/bartender type rolls and, I have to be honest with you, I am the worst at balancing the food and the drinks on that tray. And even when we had the pilot for The Vampire Diaries I'd spill everything all over Nina Dobrev and her hair and makeup would have to be redone. So I had to be really careful and not spill anything, and of course the first scene I do I absolutely spill everything all over this one woman. That's as far as my action scenes go.
Did you have time for any non-work fun while you were down there?
Yeah, absolutely! Two of the producers of [the upcoming ABC series] Charlie's Angels that's shooting in Miami, Marcos Siega and Paul Sommers, were also two of the original producers and directors of The Vampire Diaries. So while I was there we rented a boat and I went wakeboarding for first time ever in my life. Obviously, I wanted to look good in front of these guys, like I'm a badass chick, but I was so scared to get up on that wakeboard because all I'd ever done before was water ski. For some reason I got right up the first time. It was just unbelievable.
How did shooting The Glades compare to Vampire Diaries?
I'm so thrilled to be back. Obviously The Vampire Diaries is like my family, but The Glades was great too because any time you walk onto a new set you never know what to expect. So it's kind of fun and different to meet new people. It's really kind of the best of both worlds to be on a show where you have a regular job and you know what to expect, and then also have the ability to go and try other things, because when you do the same character over and over again it can get a little monotonous. So it's really been fun.
What can you tell us about what's in store for Vicki?
Vicki is back with a plan and a huge vengeance. One thing I love that the writers are doing right now is they're exploring the relationship between Matt [Zach Roering] and Vicki. Vicki has left and no one really knows what's happened to her. No one knows what she's been through and so now there's really so much drama — you know, the childhood memories and all that kind of thing. They asked Zach and I if we had any photos of when we were little, like Christmastime and stuff like that, and they're going to use those pictures of us. My little brother looks exactly like Zach and they're going to take all the childhood photos of my actual brother and they're going to stick them in the show as my fake brother. And so my brother in real life is like, "Yeah, I'm gonna be on The Vampire Diaries. Now I'm famous." And he keeps asking me, "So when do I premiere again? What's my premiere date?" He's in college and he's totally going to use it to get girls, not that he needs any help.
How is working with Zach again?
He and I get along so well and have a really good relationship, and I'm so excited about where they're taking it. We've really seen Vicki as this girlfriend to Jeremy [Steven R. McQueen] and now we're also going to get to see Vicki as a sister — or a sister ghost? That's something they have not told us: Is she an angel or a ghost or what the heck is going on? We're constantly surprised by how much they're writing for us. They put so much in one episode it's unbelievable. It'll be great.

Gambela Region — With around 1,000 South Sudanese refugees streaming into the Gambela Region of western Ethiopia every week, relief workers and agencies warn of an imminent humanitarian crisis as camps reach capacity and assistance is increasingly stretched.
Since the civil began in mid-December last year, 69,456 South Sudanese refugees have entered Ethiopia's Gambela Region.
Two thirds of the arrivals have been children, many of whom are unaccompanied, according to a March inter-agency report on South Sudanese refugees coordinated by UNHCR. The report anticipates that 140,000 refugees will enter Ethiopia in the coming months.
"They are arriving on foot, over difficult and remote terrain, in a deteriorating nutritional status, and are traumatized and exhausted by travel and continuous conflict in their home country," the report stated.
Food shortages in South Sudan mean that many of the refugees, especially children, are severely malnourished and ill when they reach the transit centres at one of seven entry points. The largest, Pagak, transfers on average more than 1,000 people a day to two camps across Gambela Region.
Data from the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) indicate that there could be an average of 1,000 new arrivals each day to Ethiopia.
"The condition of women and children who are crossing over is quite critical at the moment," said Adem Shifa of the International Organization for Migration (IOM). He was conducting medical screening tests for refugees before relocating them to various camps when IRIN spoke to him in March.
"A majority of them are malnourished and are also infected with various diarrhoeal diseases. We can also spot some measles cases and other respiratory-related health problems," he said. "Most of the children need food here at the entry points, not after their relocation to other camps," he added.
Yodit Mekasha, a medical expert at Kule refugee camp near the Pagak border entry point echoed this view and said that while 1,500 children have been assisted medically at the camp, it is sometimes too late to do anything. "Some of them reach here when they are already weak and [it is] difficult to treat them. We have seen six children passing away a few weeks ago due to that."
Temporary health posts have been set up at entry points which has helped reduce the number of people who arrive at camps critically ill. The World Food Programme (WFP) has also set up food rationing centres at entry points to Gambela Region to aid the severely malnourished entering Ethiopia.
"So their condition as they cross over at the first level of registration is improving as a result of that," said Purnima Kashyap, acting country director for WFP Ethiopia.
But, she warned: "The challenge is that the people who are coming in now have been staying amidst the forest or in the interior without any food to eat, and that brings people to the camp in a much more critical condition than the people who came a month and half ago."
"Those who came in January and February were in a much better condition than the ones that are coming in now," she added.
Rainy season only a month away
The start of the rains at the end of April means that camps in South Sudan and across the border in Gambela are likely to face problems.
Gambela is the "least developed region of Ethiopia and lacking most services and infrastructure", according to an Assessment Capacities Project (ACAPS) briefing note on population displacement in Gambela.
While there are potential new camp locations, "they need to be developed from scratch."
On the South Sudanese side of the border, the rains will probably lead to greater food shortages and less accessibility. "When the rain starts in May, South Sudan won't be accessible. Even if we tried, it would be very expensive to provide food at that time... even using airdrops," said Ayalew Awoke, deputy director of Ethiopia's Administration for Refugee and Returnee Affairs (ARRA). More people will then be likely to come to Ethiopia, Kenya or Uganda.
"We see malnutrition is going up since there is no food assistance inside South Sudan," he said. "It [food rationing in camps] has become a pull factor as they [camps] are the only place where they can get food."
The war will also affect future food supplies, according to WFP. "The challenge is the rainy season is coming now and if people are not able to plant at this time, then they will not have a harvest," WFP's Kashyap told IRIN.
Three-quarters of all adults arriving are women, according to the ACAPS report. This, believes Lam Chuol Nynok, an official of Payam town (in South Sudan adjacent to the Ethiopian border), is because the "majority of men... remain inside [South Sudan] to protect their plot of land, and some are also participating in the ongoing fighting."
However, he told IRIN, should they be unable to plant crops, many of these men could flee to neighbouring Ethiopia due to lack of food, not just conflict.
Camps overstretched
The ACAPS briefing notes that "basic services at entry points and in the refugee camps are overstretched due to the recent population increases." The report argues that quickly relocating the refugees who are at entry points or transit camps, and increasing camp capacity, is crucial to getting rapid aid to these populations.
"We are pulling out resources from our existing programmes to be able to deal with the situations for South Sudan," said Kashyap. Various UN agencies and the Ethiopian government are currently helping over 500,000 refugees from Somalia, Eritrea and other neighbouring countries.
The UN is appealing for US$102.5 million by way of a response to the needs of the estimated 140,000 South Sudanese refugees who could be arriving in Ethiopia over the next few months.
"We might actually end up having 200,000-250,000 towards the end of the year and even more than that depending on what's happening inside South Sudan," said UNHCR Country Director for Ethiopia Moses Okello. "Efforts are going on to settle the problem, but it doesn't seem to be working yet."

Indonesia to recognize rights of forest communities, indigenous peoplesRhett Butler, mongabay.com
July 12, 2011
Updated July 14, 2011 to include quote from RAN.
Speaking at a forestry conference in Lombok, Kuntoro Mangkusubroto, head of the Indonesian President's REDD+ Task Force, said the government would immediately work to implement a decade-old law that requires recognition of adat or customary rights. The effort will include developing a land tenure map so government agencies can better understand how communities are using land and delineating the legal status of the Indonesia's forest area. Only 12 percent of the Indonesia's forest area has been legally delineated, according to Kuntoro.

Kuntoro highlighted this problem in his speech, noting that according to a recent government study, about 20 percent of all villages in Indonesia are located within forest lands claimed by the government as part of its Forest Estate.
"So, it can be argued as illegal because they live on state land," Kuntoro said. "However, people from the village will claim that they have lived there for generations.
"Because of this, land tenure conflicts happen and can create uncertainty for development purposes."

Nevertheless the move was welcomed by community rights advocates and environmentalists.
"This represents a tipping point in Indonesia's policies toward the rights of the people who live in and around the nation's forests," said Iman Santoso, coordinator of a group of experts that is working to resolve the Indonesia's forest tenure issues. "Because Pak Kuntoro represents the President, this means that all government agencies will have to align their policies with the directives communicated today."
"This is a watershed moment for the people and forests of Indonesia as well as the future health of our global climate," added Lafcadio Cortesi, forest campaigner at the Rainforest Action Network.
Cortesi said a recent visit to a remote village in South Sumatra showed the potential of community-managed forest areas — known as Hutan Desa under Indonesian law — to support sustainable local communities.
"Hutan Desa holds significant promise for improving the livelihoods of Indonesian forest communities while maintaining Indonesia's priceless ecological, cultural and climate values."
"Our experience in the field yesterday and working with customers that buy forests products, suggests that certainty around land status and tenure is a crucial element for ensuring Indonesia becomes a go-to supplier for the international marketplace," he continued. "Hutan Desa and implementation of the legal requirement to identify existing land claims over areas in the national forest estate are two vital elements for creating such certainty."
"Indonesia will also need to develop and implement new policies and exercise concerted political will in order to meet its economic and carbon emission reduction targets."

Is the Ministry of Forestry undermining Indonesia's logging moratorium?
(06/28/2011) Indonesia's Ministry of Forestry is already undermining the moratorium on new forestry concessions on peatlands and in primary forest areas, alleges a new report from Greenomics-Indonesia. The report, The Toothless Moratorium, claims that a new decree from the Ministry of Forestry converts 81,490 hectares of forest protected under the moratorium into logging areas. The area affected is larger than Singapore.
Indonesia's moratorium undermines community forestry in favor of industrial interests
(06/21/2011) Indonesia's moratorium on new concessions in primary forest areas and peatlands "completely ignores" the existence of community forestry management licenses, jeopardizing efforts to improve the sustainability of Indonesia's forest sector and ensure benefits from forest use reach local people, say environmentalists. According to Greenomics-Indonesia, a Jakarta-based NGO, community and village forestry licenses are not among the many exemptions spelled under the presidential instruction that defines the moratorium. The instruction, issued last month, grants exemptions for industrial developers and allows business-as-usual in secondary forest areas by the pulp and paper, mining and palm oil industries.

Fighting illegal logging in Indonesia by giving communities a stake in forest management
(03/10/2011) Over the past twenty years Indonesia lost more than 24 million hectares of forest, an area larger than the U.K. Much of the deforestation was driven by logging for overseas markets. According to the World Bank, a substantial proportion of this logging was illegal. Curtailing illegal logging may seem relatively simple, but at the root of the problem of illegal logging is something bigger: Indonesia's land policy. Can the tide be turned? There are signs it can. Indonesia is beginning to see a shift back toward traditional models of forest management in some areas. Where it is happening, forests are recovering. Telapak understands the issue well. It is pushing community logging as the 'new' forest management regime in Indonesia. Telapak sees community forest management as a way to combat illegal logging while creating sustainable livelihoods.

Andrew Carnegie's Legacy
Considered by many to be the father of American philanthropy, Andrew Carnegie spent much of his adult life amassing a huge fortune by creating the Carnegie Steel Company. At age 65, he sold the company to J. P. Morgan for $480 million and devoted the rest of his life to giving nearly all of his money away.
Others before him had made substantial charitable contributions, but Carnegie was the first to state publicly the bold notion that the rich have a moral obligation to give away their fortunes, a philosophy which he wrote about in his essay "The Gospel of Wealth." One of Carnegie's lifelong interests was the establishment of free public libraries as a way of making education available to everyone.
There were only a few public libraries in the world when Carnegie began promising a library to almost any town that would provide a site and promise to maintain the building. He donated more than $56 million to build 2,509 libraries throughout the world, many of which are still serving their communities. By the time Carnegie died in 1919, he had given away more than $350 million, almost 90 percent of his entire wealth.
Browse a list and descriptions of the philanthropic organizations that Carnegie created to give away his fortune.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa -- A local electrician was found dead at the Penford plant in Cedar Rapids Thursday morning.
Cedar Rapids public safety communications coordinator Greg Buelow said police, fire and medical officials were called to Penford Products, 1001 First St. SW, at 6:46 a.m. for a medical emergency. Buelow said a deceased man was found outside between two buildings near an electrical distribution area. The medical examiner was called to the scene and police do not believe any foul play took place.
Rich Good, assistant business manager for the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 405, said the deceased was Brett Brown, an employee of Acme Electric in Cedar Rapids. Brown lived in Anamosa with his wife and three children.
Good said they are awaiting official word on Brown's cause of death, but it appears as though he was electrocuted.
"We know he was in an area where he could have been exposed to high voltage," Good said. "The medical examiner hasn't determined that, (but) it's pretty safe to assume that."
"Obviously, his wife and children are first and foremost in our thoughts right now," Good added. "We definitely have to do more education with our members to keep something like this from happening, if it was an electrical-related death."
Don Barrigar, president of Acme Electric, said Brown spent his more than 20-year career with the company, starting as an apprentice and working his way up to superintendent at Penford.
"He was a good electrician," Barrigar said. "Obviously, he rose up through his profession to one of our top positions."
Barrigar said Brown was stationed at Penford, directed electrical work at the plant and served as a liaison between Penford and Acme. Acme is now working with the Occupational Safety & Hazard Administration and Penford to determine what led to Brown's death.
"We're all very heartbroken," he said.

I was all set to hoist myself up on the soapbox and sermonize about why Jonathan Dwyer had no business on the final 53-man roster if it meant the practice squad or worse for some other promising young player.
I have gone into great detail as to why Dwyer probably wouldn't — and didn't deserve to — avoid the Turk. He then proceeded to go nuts in the final two preseason games, and more than that, the 11 guys who were cut really were expendable. Unlike past preseasons, when fan favorites got pink-slipped and it led the torch-and-pitchfork crowd to mobilize (online, anyway), I'm hard-pressed to find anything to whinge about today. And that includes Dwyer.
We all know where I stand on running backs, so I was excited about the idea of finding a young Fast Willie replacement on the cheap. So too were the coaches, who fell in love with Dwyer during OTAs only to see him swell up over the summer and show up in Latrobe fat and sassy. After two horrific preseason efforts, Dwyer flashed against the Broncos and Panthers, and now he's a member of the 2010 Steelers.
If there was a surprise, I guess Joe Burnett was it. He'll forever be remembered as "The Guy Who Dropped That Pick," but that's not why he was cut. Crezdon Butler and Anthony Madison were. Butler was impressive in August, and Madison is a critical special teams cog, and I'm all for the Steelers a) getting younger and b) doing whatever it takes to avoid the annual special teams train wreck.
Most of us agreed that Kraig Urbik might be a victim of roster math and that's exactly what happened. That no doubt led to eye-rolling from Kevin Colbert critics, but look at it this way: the other young o-linemen — Ramon Foster, Doug Legursky and Tony Hills — improved enough to warrant Urbik's release. Hey, the draft involves a lot of educated guesses, and sometime you whiff. It happens. The worst thing a team can do is delay the inevitable and keep a kid on the roster because he was overdrafted. That creates two problems (taking up a spot and keeping another more deserving player off the team) instead of solving one (dropping the dead weight).
The Steelers drafted 10 guys in April. Eight are on the team (Chris Scott is on PUP, and Doug Worthington got axed). The last time so many members of a Pittsburgh draft class graduated to the regular season? Eight years ago when Kendall Simmons, Antwaan Randle El, Chris Hope, Larry Foote, Verron Haynes, Lee Mays and Brett Keisel survived training camp and preseason.
Looking at the seven drafts between '02 and '10 yields a mixed bag:
2003: Troy and Ike are still starters. Alonzo Jackson's legacy: if a young Steelers linebacker struggles he will inevitably be compared to Jackson.
2004: Big Ben and Max Starks worked out. Everybody else — including second-rounder Ricardo Colclough — did not.
2005: Not a bad haul: Heath Miller, Bryant McFadden, Trai Essex and Chris Kemoeatu are starters. Fred Gibson — the next Plax (and my argument for why tall receivers are overrated) — didn't make it out of camp.
2006: Maybe the worst draft in recent history: Santonio was well worth the first-round trade-up, and Willie Colon finally grew into right tackle last season, but Anthony Smith, Willie Reid, Orien Harris, Omar Jacobs and three other late-round picks didn't work out.
2007: Nobody wanted Juan Timmons in April 2007 but he's about to commence a Wreakin' Havoc tour and I can't wait. Woodley, Spaeth, Sepulveda and Gay were also taken, as was Ryan McBean (now starting in Denver).
2008: Rashard Mendenhall was a no-brainer at the time and he's worked out well. Limas Sweed is apparently cursed and Bruce Davis was cut after one season. Tony Hills and Dennis Dixon are still around, however.
2009: Coaches and teammates are high on Ziggy Hood (even though he didn't appear to do much during preseason), Urbik's already gone, but the Steelers got a first-round talent in third-rounder Mike Wallace. Keenan Lewis had a great training camp and three good preseason games, and David Johnson made the team as a backup tight end.
It's too early to start high-fiving Colbert for this year's haul since we have no idea what the hell these kids can do. For now, though, it's a nice change from the usual meme we hear from the "This team sucks when it comes to evaluating late-round talent" faction.
And that reminded me of this: Saturday, as teams were jettisoning players that had never lived up to their potential or who were now on the downsides of their careers, I saw a few names that a lot of Steelers fans (me included) really, really wanted the team to draft back when these guys were coming out of college. Enjoy … and remember: there's a reason we're not scouts.
Pat White. Man, that experiment barely lasted a year. I pegged White as the next Randle El but it sounds like he wanted to be a quarterback and not much else. I remember watching him going off at the Senior Bowl to the point that Mike Mayock couldn't say enough good things about him. And now he's out of work.
(By the way, am I the only one who finds it weird that we've collectively been looking for the next ARE pretty much since he was drafted and we haven't found him? It's one thing to find the "next Jordan," but apparently, finding short college quarterbacks-turned-NFL-wideouts is just as difficult. Who knew.)
Michael Robinson. Penn St. quarterback built like a safety. Robinson was another hybrid player who, at least in my mind, would compliment the offense nicely because of his versatility. Turns out, just because you're an athletic college QB doesn't necessarily translate to valuable jack-of-all-trades at the next level. Why? Because there's only one ANTWAAN RANDLE EL, that's why.
Matt Jones. I don't even want to bring it up but if I don't I'm sure somebody else will. After Jones ran a 4.3-something at the 2005 combine, I was convinced he'd be worth the Steelers' 30th-overall pick. His 6-6 frame coupled with his speed — not to mention his ARE-like versatility (sigh) — made him an intriguing talent. Turns out, Jones wasn't much into hard work, liked coke, and now he can add "cut by the Bengals" to his resume. Thank god for Jack Del Rio. And Heath Miller.
Chad Jackson. I learned my lesson with Matt Jones. So when Jackson busted out a 4.2-someting at the combine in '06 I remained unimpressed. Coming out of Florida made it even easier to hop on the Santonio weedwagon. Thankfully, the Pats traded up into the second round to take Jackson before cutting him a year later.
Demetrius Williams. As Gretz pointed out, Williams was the Ravens' Willie Reid. Lose-lose for everybody.
James Hardy. Also via Gretz: Hardy was the Bills' Limas Sweed. Again, lose-lose.
Bobby Carpenter. It seems that Steelers fans are automatically in love with Ohio St. and Penn St. linebackers. That's mostly geography, I think, but whatever, it means that guys like Carpenter and A.J. Hawk, and Sean Lee and Paul Posluszny are always "potential first-round targets." Up till the moment the team drafts somebody else (and they always do).
Tim Shaw. Another Penn St. guy who actually had success as an NFL special teamer before the Bears cut him Saturday.
Ko Simpson. Remember the weeks leading up to the 2006 draft? Chris Hope had bolted for the Titans and the Steelers were in the market for a young free safety (despite signing Ryan Clark). At the time, it seemed like the draft was teeming with talent at the position. Instead, just about every safety taken that year has underachieved. Darnell Bing, Mike Huff, Daniel Bullocks, Anthony Smith, Pat Watkins, Greg Blue … and the list goes on. (Some pleasant surprises: Dawan Landry, Antoine Bethea, and Donte Whitner if you're willing to overlook the fact he was the eighth-overall selection.)
Jarron Gilbert. He jumped out of a pool. He was also released yesterday. It would appear that there's no correlation between aquatic tricks manhandling offensive linemen. Weird. He was the Bears' third-round selection in 2009, taken 16 spots ahead of Mike Wallace.
Just sayin' … it could be worse.

-- Ring of Honor has released two new DVD sets, the first being a compilation of the Bryan Danielson vs. Nigel McGuinness feud. The second is a Best of the Kings of Wrestling (Antonio Cesaro & Kassius Ohno in WWE). Here are the details…
DANIELSON vs. McGUINNESS
Their rivalry is one of epic proportions in the history books of Ring of Honor. From their first meeting in the spring of 2006 until their final ROH match in the fall of 2009, Bryan Danielson and Nigel McGuinness engaged in one of the most legendary series of matches ROH had ever seen, or will likely ever see again.
They were two men driven by a mutual love of professional wrestling and a competitive desire to constantly prove who was the better man. McGuinness and Danielson collided in an unforgettable quartet of matches in 2006 while the former reigned as ROH Pure Champion and the latter as World Champion, highlighted by an intense Title Unification match in front of Nigel's home country.
The rivalry was renewed in the following years with Nigel in the role of defending champion, they even stepped into the ring as allies in pursuit of the ROH World Tag Titles, and through it all developed a respect for one another both as wrestlers and as men.
This 2-Disc collection contains every one-on-one meeting between the two sure-fire ROH Hall of Famers and as an added bonus to the set, it also contains several other tag matches featuring McGuinness & Danielson including their tag title challenge against Jay & Mark Briscoe from "Race to the Top Tournament Night 1" and their ROH vs. Pro Wrestling NOAH dream tag team match against Takeshi Morishima & Naomichi Marufuji from "United We Stand".
The head-to-head matches included on this set are from Weekend of Champions Night 2, Generation Now, their Title Unification Match from "Unified", Epic Encounter II, Driven, Survival of the Fittest 2007, their epic World Title Clash from "6th Anniversary Show", Battle of the Best, Rising Above 2008, and their mutual final ROH match from "Glory by Honor VIII: The Final Countdown". This is the story of one of the most epic rivalries in ROH history. This is Danielson vs. McGuinness: The Complete Collection.

14. Bryan Danielson vs. Nigel McGuinness...Glory By Honor VIII 9/26/09
"The greatest team in the history of wrestling, If you think other then prepare for the reckoning"
That's just a taste of the lyrics that led Chris Hero & Claudio Castagnoli out to the ring with the ROH World Tag Team Titles strapped to their waists for a record-setting 363 days. Starting with their reunion at "Final Battle 2009" at the expense of Jay & Mark Briscoe, The Kings of Wrestling quickly established themselves as a powerhouse in ROH's already stacked tag team ranks.
Over the course of their year-long rivalry with The Briscoes, Hero & Claudio proved themselves as capable of technical tag team wrestling as they were at getting bloody and violent. Their contests against teams such as Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin, The American Wolves, and The Young Bucks demonstrated a dominance unlike any the division had ever seen, and they will forever be mentioned as one of the greatest teams in ROH's history.
This 2-Disc set presents 14 of The KoW's complete matches, plus highlights and more! With Hero's KO Elbows & Claudio's unparalled power, you will see how it wasn't hyperbole when they said..."Kings Reign Supreme"!

The narrow barrier islands are mainly sand and palm trees, becoming wider towards Cape Canaveral. Inland is a mix of agriculture and marshland with a few inland lakes. Climate is typical for the Florida coast. Summer temperatures, while reaching 90 or above during the late morning or early afternoon, tend to diminish in the afternoon due to sea breezes and frequent afternoon thundershowers. Winters are relatively mild. Summer is the rainy season with thunderstorms, many quite heavy.

JAPAN's position as a technological leader is under threat, say the authors of the country's latest White Paper on Science and Technology. With the end of the Cold War, the paper says, many governments are shifting research and development funding from the military to the civil sector. But Japan still perceives North Korea and Russia as a military threat, and is continuing to spend more on military research.
"Ideally, we would like to see the R&D budget double as soon as possible," says Ryuji Shimoda of the Science and Technology Agency's Policy Bureau. "But how quickly that can be done is up to the government."
In the past, Japan has led research into fields such as advanced ceramics and liquid crystals, and in applications including consumer electronics. Economists have often attributed this to its strong investment in civil R&D, while other countries such as the US poured money into military ...

I hope you will publish other opinions as well about this matter. I, for one, applaud Hoag for its decision. If abortion supporters are worried about where they or their daughters can get their next abortion, they need only look in the yellow pages for any number of providers.
I must say that the fact that one writer called abortion "a service" is unconscionable. The suction and dismemberment of an unborn human being forcibly torn from its mother's womb is anything but a service.

Abortion ban an outrage
I find Hoag hospital's decision to ban abortions an outrage.
This is clearly a decision that comes from the affiliation with St. Joseph. Hoag's attempt to mislead the community by stating otherwise is upsetting and calls into question other statements from the board.
Hoag should also clarify to the community what other religious-based decisions it is making when it comes to community healthcare.

Use San Onofre space for eco power
Whether you were for or against the proposed Poseidon Resources Corp. desalination plant, now is the time for some creative and collective thinking.
With the scuttling of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, we have the potential for a new venture instead of a desalination plant, which is in constant limbo, to help offset the energy loss from the nuclear closure.
Why not utilize that real estate for a wind and or solar component to the existing structure that is eco-friendly and would not put us in the financial risk that Poseidon has shown in previous ventures. We would get green technology and jobs.
Wind and solar are proven, and most of the setbacks cost-wise on new projects are based on establishing the infrastructure for transmission, which the site has. From a risk-management standpoint, this a lot more feasible than the unproven venture that Poseidon is trying to push on the taxpayers.

15 chutney recipes to enjoy with everything from samosas to savoury meats to simple Ploughman's lunches.
In saucepan, bring prunes, apricots and 1 cup (250 mL) water to boil. Remove from heat; cover and let stand for 30 minutes.
Stir in onion, apple, tom...
See the recipe
This chutney is excellent with the turkey, of course, but also with pork, chicken, grilled meat and cheese.
This sweet and tangy chutney pairs deliciously with roasted lamb, pork, chicken or turkey and is equally suited for the next day's sandwiches. It's a treat even in the morning with eggs and sausage or bacon.
Pit plums; cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) chunks to make about 3 cups (750 mL). In saucepan, bring sugar, vinegar, star anise and pepper to boil over medium...
This glistening sweet-and-sour condiment cuts the saltiness of the ham.
This fresh, slightly sour condiment is often used as an accompaniment to dishes such as Leek Pastries with Mild Spices (Boulani). We mashed the garlic to blend smoothly with no chunky surprises.
Though the name gooseberry comes from the fact that the berries were commonly used as a sauce for roast goose, this tart, seedy relish would also make a wonderful accompaniment to roast pork or tourtière. This is an old favourite from Summer Berries by Elizabeth Baird (James Lorimer & Company Ltd., 2002), part of the Great Canadian Recipes series.
Chutney is a piquant companion to cream cheese on a cracker, a grilled cheese sandwich, thin slices of firm cheese, such as Gouda, Jarslberg or Cheddar, and ham, pork or poultry, hot or cold.
IOGO Greko
Beets are a novel but beautiful ingredient in chutney. Their sweetness marries deliciously with apples and helps counter the acidic thrust of the vinegar.
Fresh and tangy yet sweet enough to satisfy, this burnished red condiment pairs beguilingly with turkey, ham, goose and duck. Save some for pork loin roasts and chops, too.
Wonderfully chunky and rich in flavour, this chutney is delicious with meats, and bread and cheese.
Chutneys add the spice of life to cold meats, and their sweet and sour edges are rounded off nicely with cheese, especially a cream cheese or a buttery Jarlsberg.
Enjoy this taste of summer all winter long with cheese or roast pork, ham or poultry.
There will be no trouble getting the kids to eat their vegetables with one of these before-dinner snacks or side-dish options on hand. Just whisk one up and serve with plenty of vegetable sticks and florets.
