Penrith Baseball Club Successful Grant Application
Great news for the club with the Member for Penrith, the Hon. Stuart Ayres MP, attending Baseball training for the U12s last night to deliver a cheque to the club following a successful grant application, which the Executive Committee has been working on over the past few years.
It was a great afternoon with Mr Ayres mingling with the kids and even had a pitch in the bullpen with U12 Panthers catcher Kiegan Harris while he was there.
The purpose of the grant is to redevelop the diamond 2/3 fields to:
* Increase the number of diamonds available for use to help the club accommodate future growth in participant numbers.
* Secure the clubs financial future by becoming eligible to host major tournaments for Baseball NSW, which have proven to be very lucrative for other clubs when run well.
* Create a better size senior diamond at diamond 2 with a longer right field homerun distance (sorry leftys).
This project has been part of the clubs 5 year plan and a focus point for the Penrith Baseball Club Inc Executive Committee for the past 3 years. After several grant applications over the years we were finally delivered the good news that we had been successful in receiving a grant this year to bring the vision of the Executive to life.
Once work commences, the Executive Committee will be working with Penrith Council on scheduling work to be carried out and will try to minimise the effect on games on diamond 2 but there will be inevitable downtime but it will be well worth the hassle in the long run.
Tattersalls Hotel Penrith

Originally written on The Colts Authority | Last updated 11/3/12
Mike Chappell of The Indianapolis Star reported Saturday afternoon that Colts Coach Chuck Pagano may be able to attend Sunday's game, citing none other than the Colts' colorful owner, Jim Irsay (from Twitter): "Chuck is so strong n is endowed with his strength of more than 10 Monsters,that if u happen 2 c him @ LOS on Sun;u wont b imagining things,'' Irsay wrote. NFL.com reported the same thing Saturday. On Sunday, the first-year coach, who has been an inspiration to Colts players and fans as he continues his battle with leukemia, could get the chance to meet with players again. Only this time, Pagano would see them during a game. We already know Pagano attended a team meeting on Monday. Whether or not he comes to the stadium, it's good to know he's doing well and able to stay involved. @MarcusDugan

Try as it might, Israel cannot ignore the Gaza Strip. The lessons and implications of last summer's Operation Protective Edge remain unheeded, but the unavoidable fact is that the fighting will erupt again and again.
Analysis | It goes like this: There is no such blockade, and if you violate it, you will be arrested.
Tunisia says 8 people suspected of direct links to beach attack in custody; sophisticated weaponry used in Sinai attack, Egypt media reports; 12 people detained in Tunisia hotel attack probe.
By seeking to police all interactions between Israeli Jews and Palestinians, the movement prevents any progress in advancing coexistence and achieving peace.

French Left: Parti de Gauche Refuses to Back Problematic Meeting against "Islamophobia"
Rally against Islamophobia divides the left.
On Friday at the Bourse du Travail Saint-Denis a rally "against Islamophobia" was held with the backing of some left organisations, notably the Nouveau Parti Anticapitaliste and the French Communist Party.
Muslim and Islamist associations were prominent amongst its supporters. These included the Union des organisations islamiques de France (UOIF, close to the Muslim Brotherhood), le Parti des Indigènes de la République, (often described as the militant wing of post-colonial studies and associated with homophobia) les Indivisibles, Présence musulmane (close to Islamist Tariq Ramadan) and le Collectif enseignant pour l'abrogation de la loi de 2004 (CEAL) – that is the group which wants to abolish the secular rules on ostentatious religious signs in schools).
Other groups, above all from the human rights and anti-racist movements, refused to take part.
The Left Party (Parti de Gauche) of Jean-Luc Mélenchon also refused to join. Its general coordinator, Eric Coquerel said. "The term Islamophobia has posed a problem for us for several years. It makes it difficult to distinguish between freedom to criticise religion and racism The text also does not cite any other form of racism. In the present context – after the terrorist atrocities – it should have had a broader appeal". "At the same time", he continued "we have problems with those signing this document. They include communitarian groups and bodies that represent Political Islam. "
Inside the same bloc, the Front de Gauche, the grouping Ensemble backed the appeal and meeting, while the Parti Communist Français maintained its support for the declaration by sent nobody to the meeting.
At the rally itself Ismahane Chouder denounced the fact that people always ask Muslims to be irreproachable on 'antisemitism' 'sexism' and 'homophobia". She called this demand for anti-sexism, opposition to hatred of Jews and of gays, "Islamophobic".
Alexander Sulzer L'Express.
For a defence of this meeting see: Grand succès du meeting contre l'islamophobie et les dérives sécuritaires (Laurent Lévy. Ensemble).
Laurent Lévy ignores the main point of the Parti de Gauche: the questionable term "Islamophobia". Indeed he continues with the dangerous reactionary confusion between racism and dislike/criticism of a religion.
In Libération today the radical left atheist Michel Onfray comments favourably on the Parti de Gauche's decision and clarifies this point,
"What a joy it is, finally, on the left, and in particular on the anti-liberal (economics) left, my own political side, we have begun to fight this 'amalgam". That is, is to lump together criticism of religion with Islamophobia" when it's a matter of Islam, Christianophobia, when it's Christianity, anti-Semitism when it concerns Judaism, to the point where atheism itself becomes blasphemous. "
The writer wishes that this approach will continue, and that it will clarify the debate about religion.
"It would distinguish those who oppose religion in the name of reason, not racism (in my case, and that of many people who do not even adopt the 'catechism' of the left), and those who hide their racism and xenophobia behind the rejection of religion. One could imagine that once this distinction in the realm of ideas is made, those who do not want religion to govern our law, will be able to clearly distinguish those who dislike the Muslim religion and those who dislike those who practice it. "

'Trojan Horse' in Birmingham: Scandal Worsens as Shahid Akmal Faces New Allegations.
Shahid Akmal, "white women have the least amount of morals."
The Birmingham Mail has just revealed another scandal behind the 'Trojan Horse' allegations,
Undercover report reveals Birmingham school chief claimed women are 'emotionally weaker' and that British people have 'colonial blood'.
By Nick Sommerlad
One of the ringleaders of the Islamist plot to take over British schools is exposed today as a sexist, racist bigot.
School chief Shahid Akmal told an undercover reporter from Birmingham Mail sister paper the Mirror, that "white women have the least amount of morals", white children were "lazy" and that British people have "colonial blood".
Akmal claimed that women were "emotionally weaker" than men and that their role was to look after children and the home.
He defended jailing or exiling gays and adulterers under Sharia Law as a "moral position to hold".
Until he was removed last week, Akmal was the chairman of governors at Nansen Primary School in Birmingham, where music was banned and inspectors found pupils were not sufficiently protected from radicalisation.
The hardliner revealed he has plans to set up a series of after-school tuition centres to instil "our morals and our values and our principles" in impressionable youngsters.
Over a series of meetings, Akmal made a string of extraordinary statements and defended Britons fighting in Syria and Iraq as "freedom fighters".
In a defiant attack, Akmal claimed the Government wanted to keep Muslims "suppressed" so they are easier to control.
Asked if white children were lazy he said: "Exactly. Thank you very much. And they don't want to accept that." He insisted: "I tell you, our women are much, much better consciously in the heart than any white women.
"White women have the least amount of morals."
He argued that girls should be taught skills like cooking and sewing while boys should be taught trades like construction and mechanics.
Akmal attacked women who became "high flying" politicians: "She has to sacrifice her family, she has to sacrifice her children, she has to sacrifice her husband, all in the name of equality. And there are so many marriages that have broken up because of this."
He appeared to defend British Muslims joining rebels in Syria and Iraq, despite official warnings of a terrorism threat when they return to the UK.
He said: "The fact that he has gone there to fight, they say that he is supporting terrorists. Because they don't believe in the freedom fight."
The alleged Trojan Horse plotters had been attacked for "wanting the best for our children", claimed Akmal. He said: "They basically don't want the children to do any better because they will demand education, they will demand better qualifications, they will want to go to Oxford and Cambridge and that's a white only place. Very few non-whites go there.
"They want to keep us suppressed. It's easier to control. If you get education you get a mind. When you get a mind, you ask questions. They don't like that.
This comes as the Clarke report into Birmingham schools was formally presented.
Amongst its findings ITN highlights this,
Teachers at schools involved in the 'Trojan Horse' investigation allegedly claimed the murder of Lee Rigby was "some kind of staged event or hoax", according to a government report.
The report's author, retired counter-terrorism officer Peter Clarke, analysed the contents of a social media discussion between teachers at Park View School who called themselves 'The Park View Brotherhood'.

Clarke's report says the group of teachers exchanged "highly offensive comments about British service personnel" on the WhatsApp messaging service.
He also described the general contents of the teachers' discussions as "grossly intolerant of beliefs and practices other than their own".
School chiefs and parents 'involved in promoting Islam'
Last updated Tue 22 Jul 2014
Governors, deputy and acting headteachers, trustees and parents were involved in a pattern of behaviour "moving between schools" in Birmingham, an inquiry into alleged 'Trojan Horse' schools has found.
In a 151-page report for Birmingham City Council, Ian Kershaw concluded: "The evidence shows individuals have been seeking to promote and encourage Islamic principles in the schools with which they are involved, by seeking to introduce Islamic collective worship, or raising objections to elements of the school curriculum that are viewed as anti-Islamic."
Mr Kershaw's report said the problems had been allowed to run "unchecked" due to what he branded "weaknesses in the system and poor oversight of governance" mainly by the city council, but also by Ofsted, the Education Funding Agency and the DfE.
In his report, Mr Clarke, who served as head of the Metropolitan Police's counter-terrorism unit, said he "neither specifically looked for, nor found, evidence of terrorism, radicalisation or violent extremism in the schools of concern in Birmingham".
But he went on to say: "I found clear evidence that there are a number of people, associated with each other and in positions of influence in schools and governing bodies, who espouse, sympathise with or fail to challenge extremist views."
The inquiry concluded: "There has been co-ordinated, deliberate and sustained action, carried out by a number of associated individuals, to introduce an intolerant and aggressive Islamic ethos into a few schools in Birmingham.
It said witnesses had expressed three key concerns about the impact of the situation on pupils:
- The first was that teachers feared that children are learning to be intolerant of difference and diversity.
- Secondly, that although good academic results can be achieved by narrowing the curriculum, this means young people are not getting a broad education, and instead their horizons are narrowed.
- Thirdly, that the evidence of young people being encouraged to "adopt an unquestioning attitude to a particular hardline strand of Sunni Islam" raises real concerns about their vulnerability to radicalisation in the future.
Criticising the role of Birmingham city council, the report concluded the authority was "aware of the practices and behaviours that were subsequently outlined in the 'Trojan Horse' letter long before the letter surfaced".
It goes on to say that the council has not supported headteachers faced with "aggressive and inappropriate behaviour".
Mr Clarke also warned that the DfE had allowed Park View Educational Trust (PVET) – the trust at the centre of the allegations – to move from running a single school to being responsible for three too quickly, without systems in place for holding the new academies to account.
" There has been no evidence of direct radicalisation or violent extremism," she said. "But there is a clear account in the report of people in positions of influence in these schools, with a restricted and narrow interpretation of their faith, who have not promoted fundamental British values and who have failed to challenge the extremist views of others.
"Individuals associated with PVET in particular have destabilised headteachers, sometimes leading to their resignation or removal. Particularly shocking is the evidence of the social media discussion of the Park View Brotherhood group whose actions betray a collective mind-set that can fairly be described as an intolerant Islamist approach which denies the validity of alternative beliefs."
She said that it was "upsetting" that efforts to encourage more British Muslims to become school governors had been "damaged by the actions of a few" and urged parents to continue to come forward to serve on governing bodies.
A new education commissioner is to be appointed at Birmingham City Council to oversee action to address the criticisms of the authority in the Clarke and Kershaw reports."
Shiraz Socialist commented a few days ago,
So we now have a situation in which the two reports commissioned into 'Trojan Horse' have both concluded that there was a real issue of organised, ultra-reactionary Islamist influence in some Birmingham schools. The newspaper at the forefront of the campaign of denial that followed the allegations has now relented and faced reality. The leader of Birmingham City Council has acknowledged what happened and apologised. But will those on the left (in particular, but not only, the SWP), who took the Guardian 'line' now admit their mistake? More importantly, will the NUT leadership, instead of prevaricating on the issue, now take a clear stand in support of secular education?
One solution: secular education!
Boot Religious Authority out of Schools!
Respect Allies Turn to Tories for Religious Beliefs and Needs.
Conservative Home asks,
"Is it Conservative to believe that "the Islamic state is the greatest contribution to humanity"?
They report on events in Newham, ,
" in which local Conservatives have issued a leaflet aimed at what it describes as "the Muslim community" which has been translated into Urdu, Gujurati and Bengali.
The fourth of the leaflet's ten pledges is "respect for religious beliefs and needs when making planning decisions, while point eight is "opposition to any further betting shops in Newham".
At least one of the Tory candidates running in the council elections will endorse this view wholeheartedly. He is Mufti Shah Sadruddin, who has called for a Muslim political identity.
"We have to create a revolution for our rights," he is recorded as saying. "The gays can get their rights…but when Islam is being abused we can't even save it. We have 50 million Muslims in Europe, we are good for nothing. The Jewish community, they have their anti-Semitism, they have this Holocaust. The gays got these gay rights but any Tom, Dick, Harry can make a movie, Satanic Verses…but we are 1.5 billion Muslims but we are not politically powerful. Block the roads of Newham just like Tahrir Square."
Other statements by Sadruddin reportedly include the following: "Even Britain has a blasphemy law. We are sleeping, brothers…The greatest threat to Islam is through the removal of Islamic politics. The Islamic state is the greatest contribution to humanity. Only politics can unite the Muslim Ummah [brotherhood]. Politics is the tool which can unite the Muslims and the Ummah." Shah reportedly organised and was certainly present at a rally for George Galloway last year. Two other Conservative council candidates in Newham are former candidates for Respect.
The Express adds,
An ISLAMIST leader of the campaign to build a "mega mosque" near Britain's Olympic Stadium is standing as a Tory in this month's council elections
Mufti Shah Sadruddin, who believes in the notion of Islamic states, has no known previous links to the Tories, and has been an enthusiastic supporter of Respect MP George Galloway.
The Conservative party in the east London borough has also selected two other candidates who have previously stood for socialist Respect..
From Here.
Witch Hunt of Gays Begins in Uganda.
This front-page has been met with international outrage: l'Humanité calls it a "chasse aux sorcières médiatiques" (media witch-hunt). El Mundo reports the list of "200 personas homosexuales". German media report, "eine Liste mit 200 Homosexuellen."
The BBC states,
The BBC's Ali Mutasa reports from the capital, Kampala, that many of the people named on Red Pepper's list are known to be homosexuals, and some of them live abroad.
The list also includes some Ugandans who previously had not identified themselves as gay, the Associated Press news agency reports.
"The media witch-hunt is back," tweeted Jacqueline Kasha, a prominent Ugandan lesbian activist who appears on Red Pepper's list.
There was applause as Yoweri Museveni said: "Society can do something about it to discourage the trend"
Well-known gay rights activist Pepe Julian Onziema is also on the list, along with a popular hip-hop star and a Catholic priest, AP reports.
Uganda's anti-homosexuality act
- Life imprisonment for gay sex, including oral sex
- Life imprisonment for "aggravated homosexuality", including sex with a minor or while HIV-positive
- Life imprisonment for living in a same-sex marriage
- Seven years for "attempting to commit homosexuality"
- Between five and seven years in jail or a $40,700 (£24,500) fine or both for the promotion of homosexuality
- Businesses or non-governmental organisations found guilty of the promotion of homosexuality would have their certificates of registration cancelled and directors could face seven years in jail
Tomboy (film) Banned by French Catholic School.
Not Suitable for French Catholic Students.
I am looking forward to seeing Tomboy – a French film which will be shown on BBC 4 this coming Sunday.
The more so as it has got up the nose of the increasingly hysterical French anti-gay movement Manif pour Tous.
The French site Rue 89 has this story today,
A Angers, des collèges catholiques privent leurs élèves de « Tomboy »
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – Malaysia's main body of Islamic clerics has issued an edict banning tomboys in the Muslim-majority country, ruling that girls who act like boys violate the tenets of Islam, an official said Friday.
The National Fatwa Council forbade the practice of girls behaving or dressing like boys during a meeting Thursday in northern Malaysia, said Harussani Idris Zakaria, the mufti of northern Perak state, who attended the gathering
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has banned gays and tomboys from its public schools, a report on the news site Emirates 24/7 said.
There was no indication how Saudi Arabia's religious police would detect who among the nation's student population were gay and tomboys.
Perhaps somebody will picket the BBC.
Update: Campaign to ban showing Tomboy in French Schools (32,225 people have signed up): Here.

Product description
In 1783 the British army struggled home from North America in a shattered condition. It had acquitted itself well, but its regiments were now woefully understrength, and it was not until 1789 that they were again fit for service. Little more than three years later, Republican France declared war, and, apart from two short periods, the army was to be heavily engaged around the globe for the next 23 years. Beginning where Warrior 19 British Redcoat 1740-93 ends, Stuart Reid shows how the army was re-organised, re-equipped, re-trained and led from the bitter struggle in the West Indies to the final reckoning at Waterloo during the NApoleonic Wars (1799-1815).

UNITY is designed to provide data visibility for the US government, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), international organizations, and other entities working in fragile environments. Organizations working in post-conflict zones tend to manage planning independently. Consequently, project activities become siloed, and interventions can become uncoordinated and inefficient. UNITY aggregates nonclassified data from partner organizations and displays it through a Web-based browser interface as a series of overlays, charts, graphs, and tables that are geospatially referenced to a map of the region. As shown in Figure 5-1, each peacebuilding project is represented by an icon that can be clicked on to see more information on budget, partners, and other project details.
UNITY was developed under the Cooperative Security JCTD, an interagency research and development initiative overseen by the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering. Partner agencies are USAID, the US Southern Command, the US European Command, and the US Army Corps of Engineers. The objective of this JCTD, said Hainsey, is to develop cutting-edge capabilities to produce a better integrated "whole of government" approach to development and defense cooperative activities both with other US agencies and across the public-private divide.
The problem the UNITY system addresses is the absence among regional stakeholders of integrated, interagency adaptive planning, decision support, and assessment capabilities; information-sharing architectures; and orga-

Product description
In 1217 England was facing her darkest hour, with foreign troops pillaging the country and defeat close at hand. But, at the battle of Lincoln, the seventy-year-old William Marshal led his men to a victory that would secure the future of his nation. Earl of Pembroke, right-hand man to three kings and regent for a fourth, Marshal was one of the most celebrated men in Europe, yet is virtually unknown today, his impact and influence largely forgotten. In this vivid account, Richard Brooks blends colourful contemporary source material with new insights to uncover the tale of this unheralded icon. He traces the rise of Marshal from penniless younger son to renowned knight, national hero and defender of the Magna Carta. What emerges is a fascinating story of a man negotiating the brutal realities of medieval warfare and the conflicting demands of chivalric ideals, and who against the odds defeated the joint French and rebel forces in arguably the most important battle in medieval English history - overshadowing even Agincourt.

Review quote
"William Marshal's name, fame and greatest victory seem to be largely forgotten today. But author Richard Brooks tries to right this wrongful oversight in "The Knight Who Saved England: William Marshal and the French Invasion, 1217." Brooks is to be applauded for digging into original source material and sharing his own insights to pen this colorful chronicle of how Sir William rose from obscurity to become one of the most powerful men in Europe." --"Toy Soldier & Model Figure"

Successful retrofit to first newbuilding sees Aberdeen-based owner specify further Low Expansion Foam system for second China-built jack-up.
Wilhelmsen Technical Solutions (WTS) has received a repeat order to install its Unitor Low Expansion Foam fire extinguishing system on a second jack-up newbuilding for Prospector Offshore Drilling.
The specialized firefighting systems will provide fire protection for the shale shakers and mud pits on Prospector 1 and Prospector 5 during their charters to Total E&P UK Ltd. Prospector 1 was delivered from Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Offshore Co Ltd in September 2013, Prospector 5 was delivered in June 2014 from Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding (SWS).
Order handling for the first contract was carried out between WTS' Singapore and Poland offices and was completed in just 12 weeks to the satisfaction of the customer, which immediately requested a similar installation for Prospector 5.
Engineering and manufacturing for the second contract was carried by WTS Poland while the rig was still under construction, with piping pre-installed by SWS. The rig is due to arrive by heavy lift vessel at Invergordon by mid-August where final installation will be carried out.
Mike Evans, Sales Manager U.K. and Benelux, Wilhelmsen Technical Solutions said, "All owners, whether in offshore or marine demand a quick response, short delivery times and the ability to provide installation on turnkey basis. Both these contracts demanded very close teamwork across multiple locations, with good cooperation between departments to make sure we met the customer's demands in terms of quality and timeframe."
Calum Mitchell, Manager – Technical, Prospector Offshore Drilling, added, "The installation performed on Prospector1 at Invergordon had some initial challenges as proposed locations for the equipment and piping had to be adapted. The installation team, combined with the onshore support dealt with the issues accordingly and completed a successful install program whilst receiving high praise from the rig crew for their professionalism and execution. This was a major contributing factor to awarding the contract for the Prospector 5."
The Unitor Low Expansion Foam fire extinguishing system is a flexible, high quality and fully compliant fire extinguishing system which effectively blankets fire and prevents further outbreak using nontoxic low expansion foam. Modular skid-based units provide easy installation and reduced footprint while corrosion resistance component materials and coatings provide a robust, low maintenance system.

Received this quickly. Good customer service, happy with product. Thanks!
Received the kit but with a different (Cheaper) battery than the one advertised in the add and picture from Austin Kayak, misleading+ Losing customers
Hobie did change the battery that is included with this kit - we have updated the images accordingly.
Everything you need to wire your Powerpole, sounder or other electronics. Plenty and I mean plenty of wire is included. I use it for my Powerpole and can fish for weeks before recharge.
I used this for my power pole and its works great and keeps the battery in place. I will say I wish the litium ion battery had been out for the power pole I would have gotten that but probably wont replace this since I have it.

Glee star Matthew Morrison will be hosting Dasani's "Plant Model Fashion Show" to celebrate their new bottles that use 30% plant based material.
The models will wear plant ensembles designed by Yotam Solomon. Each piece will be made on site. We're assuming that's because as cool as a crocus might look on a person, its shelf life is pretty limited.
For those of us who like to see a little skin, each model will only have up to 30% of their skin covered to mirror the percentage of plants used in Dasani's water bottles. Does that mean that when, hopefully, Dasani switches to 100% plant materials for their bottles that their fashion shows will feature models covered from head to toe in leafy greens?
Of course we're thrilled that less plastic is being used in Dasani's disposable bottles. However, if you really want to honor Earth Day, go out and get yourself a reusable bottle you can take with you anywhere. It's cheaper and better for the environment.
While Dasani's bottles are recyclable, a sad truth is that less than 3 out of every 10 plastic bottles are actually put in a recycling bin as opposed to a trash can. In addition, so many resources are spent shipping a beverage most people in the USA can get out of their tap. So while we applaud Dasani's efforts to green their bottles, buying water is not the most green choice out there.

Some California environmental groups got a last minute invite to an unusual spectacle taking place on Earth Day to launch Coke's new "plant bottle" packaging for Coca-Cola brand "Dasani" bottled water. The invitation cheers the "exciting packaging advancement" that will allow Coca-Cola to bottle its plain old municipal water without the coke syrup in a bottle that is "made with up to 30 percent plants – and up to 30 percent less petroleum." "Although our event is taking place this Friday – and we apologize for the short notice – we really would love to see you there. The event is a fashion show featuring models clad in garments made from plants that cover up to 30 percent of their bodies. The show will be hosted by actor and singer Matthew Morrison from FOX TV's "Glee." Again, we apologize for the short notice, and we sincerely hope you can fit it into your busy schedule. Please RSVP… "
On behalf of environmentalists in the know about plastic packaging and bottled water, we send our regrets, as follows:
1. We Regret that while many areas of America face drought, your bottling of municipal water uses three times as much water in the process of bottling it as the amount of water that came from the tap to fill the bottle. http://clatl.com/atlanta/tap-water-wears-a-bow-tie-when-its-put-in-a-bottle-and-sold/Content?oid=1271054
2. We Regret that despite your green leaf logo, your "plant bottle" is still just a PET plastic bottle and is not biodegradable or compostable on land or at sea.
3. We Regret that Coca-Cola will not be collecting and recycling their own PET "plant bottles," and that only approximately 20.9% percent of PET bottles are "recycled" (mostly into lower grade material that is not used in bottles again) in America. The remainder, at over 20 billion bottles, last forever in our landfills or in our environment, including our oceans. We also regret that Coca-Cola failed to achieve it's own pledge of using at least 10% recycled content in PET bottles and has just announced the shut down of its PET recycling joint venture in South Carolina. http://www.container-recycling.org/
4. We Regret that Coca-Cola is substituting its chemical-laden petroleum plastic bottle with a chemical-laden petroleum and plant plastic bottle.
5. We Regret that estrogenic compounds in your PET "plant bottle" may leach into the water and impair human health and reproduction. http://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2009/04/29/2555698.htm http://ehp03.niehs.nih.gov/article/fetchArticle.action?articleURI=info%3Adoi%2F10.1289%2Fehp.1003220
6. We Regret that advertising has tricked people into believing that bottled water is safer when in fact your product has been recalled for contamination and gets a grade of "D" on Environmental Working Group's evaluation of bottled waters. http://www.ewg.org/bottled-water-2011-search?id=36 http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/pure-cokes-attempt-to-sell-tap-water-backfires-in-cancer-scare-567004.html
7. We Regret that Coca-Cola Corporation has been so slow to properly label the source of the tap water that it bottles. http://www.commondreams.org/newswire/2010/04/20
8. We Regret that single servings of water are sold in disposable packaging that will last longer than any of us will be on this planet, and that future generations will have to deal with our waste. http://www.storyofstuff.org/bottledwater/
9. We Regret that you aren't screening the documentaries "Tapped" and "Bag It!" at your event.
10. We Regret that Matthew Morrison, a beloved singer and actor, is involved with such a green washing sham. We wish he talked with us first. And although we appreciate the promise of 30% clad models, we believe it would be more appropriate for your models to be nude, as in "the emperor has no clothes" because this kind of green washing doesn't fool us at all.

Didn't PepsiCo beat them to it with their 100% recyclable bottle, too?
NOT biodegradable or compostable, but still, made from recycled materials 100%. You'd think Coke would hide it's head a bit over that.

Recent Arkansas reviews
"We just spent the last weekend here, and we really enjoyed ourselves. There are a couple of things that I think people should know about the location and the amenities before making a decision about whether or not to rent here. Pros: - Luther is extremely courteous, kind, and accommodating. When we arrived we were short on sheets and he had someone deliver them as soon as possible. I emailed him several times and he responded promptly with answers to questions and suggestions for a boat rental location. - The house was one of the few that could host a group of our size. Almost everyone in our group got their own room (as couples) AND their own BATHROOM!!! Awesome! - It's nicely situated 10 minutes from Hot Springs, which is a quaint little town with just enough to do on a long weekend. However, there's PLENTY to do if you don't want to leave the houses at all - there is a pool table (quite popular during our trip), some puzzles (though not all complete), a beautiful view (on FOUR different porches) and you're literally on the lake, so swimming is a must-do. - Two houses = quiet house and party house! Need I say anything more? Cons - The steps to the lake are borderline dangerous. They are in disrepair and need a serious upgrade. Family members spotted some poison ivy on the way down as well, which could ruin a trip! Be cautious using the stairs until they make the repairs (there are quite a few of them as well, but it's good exercise!) - The houses run quite cold, so bring a sweater! - There is no common bathroom in the main cabin, so you'll have to use the one in someone's bedroom. There is a half bath in the other house. - You can't bring pets, which is unfortunate for such dog-lovers as we have in our family. Understandable, but something to think about. Overall, we were happy with our trip and the time spent with family."Guest: Jessica Date of Stay: August 2014 Review Submitted: August 13, 2014View listing
"We arrived and it is exactly as stated in photos. The only thing the photos don't show is the bathroom and it is very cool! oh and all the artwork...loved all the cool artwork! This is a very modern house and my kids even approved even though it was not in branson.The property was clean and we appreciated the little extras that were there for our use. The owner was very helpful and answered all questions immediately. The only things i would say is if you have small the children the stairs are a little steep and no handrails and one bedroom was downstairs and the other upstairs but not an issue for us. The railing that is upstairs off the deck is a little wobbly and i would not lean on it!!! And lastly if you are wanting town conveniences be aware it is about 9 miles to Hollister but if you are wanting a peaceful getaway i would highly recommend this house."Guest: Trina Date of Stay: September 2014 Review Submitted: September 18, 2014View listing
"We rented for the weekend for our wedding. The owner was extremely accommodating and helpful for any questions we had. The thing we liked especially is that it was spacious for the number of people staying there, but the bedrooms were set up to provide some privacy as well. We'd like to find another excuse to rent again!"Guest: Ginny H. Date of Stay: May 2015 Review Submitted: June 12, 2015View listing
Bella Vista Travel Tips
Tranquility and Beautiful Scenery at Bella Vista Vacation Rentals
The name Bella Vista aptly describes the incredible scenic beauty of the region. Home to seven lakes and tucked away in the foothills of the Ozarks, Bella Vista is a warm and welcoming community that is perfect for a relaxing vacation. The many lakes attract fishermen throughout the year. All except for two are no-wake lakes which make the fishing exceptional. Golfers have seven 18-hole golf courses to choose from. There are also two smaller 9-hole courses and a family putting course. This makes Bella Vista one of the most popular golfing retreats in the region. It is a great vacation destination for families. You can spend hours out on the lakes, fishing, paddling and swimming. Each of the lakes has a boat launch and several picnic areas around its shores. In the summertime, you can spend many leisurely hours relaxing at the lakeside.
Finding Your Way to Bella Vista Cabins
Bella Vista is a small that has only recently become an official city. It was originally incorporated as a retirement community in the mid-1960s, hence the many golf courses in the area. Because of its scenic beauty, moderate climate and lower property prices, many younger families have moved there over the years; it is certainly a growing area. Bella Vista is located in the far northwestern corner of Arkansas. It is approximately 100 miles from Little Rock and just over 200 miles from Oklahoma City. The best way to get there is by car as there are good road links to the surrounding communities.
Bella Vista Home Rental Options
A great advantage of planning a vacation in Bella Vista is that you will be able to stretch your travel budget a little further. The rental properties are both spacious and affordable which means that you can enjoy a vacation with your whole family. Homes are relatively modern and furnished comfortably. Many have spacious gardens or are located on one of the lake shores. This provides ample space for ball games and outdoor recreation with the family.
The Lakes and Activities at Arkansas Vacation Rentals in Bella Vista
If you plan to go boating or fishing on any of the lakes in the Bella Vista area, you will need to purchase a daily, weekly or seasonal permit from the local office. It is important that you keep the permit on you at all times as rangers may ask to see it from time to time. If you can't produce it when asked, you can be fined. The only lakes that allow power boats are Loch Lomond, Lake Ann and Lake Windsor. There are no power limitations on these lakes. Waterskiing and Jet Skiing are allowed, making them the three most popular lakes for families. Picnic sites and boat launches can be easily accessed.
Lake Avalon, Lake Brittany, Lake Norwood and Lake Rayburn all have power boat limitations. On these lakes, most fishermen use paddle boats or canoes to head out into deeper waters. Lake Rayburn has a designated safe swimming area and picnic sites. Lake Avalon has a unique enclosed and heated fishing dock located off Tamworth Circle. It is one of the smallest lakes and a popular fishing spot with the locals. Although Lake Bella Vista is officially part of the neighboring city of Bentonville, many locals still visit there. It's important to note, however, that you will require a separate permit when visiting this lake. The areas around the lakes have numerous trails that are open for hiking or mountain biking in the summer months. Birdwatching along the shoreline is another favorite pastime.

Brewers Organization Report
Ed Sedar has been the ultimate organizational man for the Brewers for the past 16 seasons, lending instruction to some of the organization's best young players.
Ed Sedar has been the ultimate organizational man for the Brewers for the past 16 seasons, lending instruction to some of the organization's best young players.
After designating Jeff Keppinger for assignment eight days earlier, the Royals sent him to the Reds on Wednesday for Class A righthander Russell Haltiwanger.
Jim Callis chatted on ESPN.com on Jan. 10.
The Deal After two underwhelming seasons in the Bronx, Randy Johnson returned to the Diamondbacks on Tuesday. The Yankees sent him back in exchange for Luis Vizcaino and three minor leaguers: righthanders Ross Ohlendorf and Steven Jackson, and shortstop Alberto Gonzalez. New York also will pay $2 million of Johnson's 2007 salary.
In his latest cartoon, Paul Trap points out that the Chicago Cubs' winter spending spree has gotten a little out of hand.
Designated for assignment after the Reds traded for Jeff Conine, Brendan Harris found a new home Tuesday. The Devil Rays acquired him for a player to be named later or cash considerations.
Jim Callis answers a question about every MLB team.
Alan Schwarz talks with the NL East's two newest managers.
The Reds were looking for a righthanded hitter who could platoon with Scott Hatteberg at first base and also man the outfield corners. They got their man Thursday in Jeff Conine, who came over from the Phillies in exchange for a pair of minor leaguers, outfielder Javon Moran and third baseman Brad Key.
In his weekly ESPN.com chat on Dec. 27, Jim Callis gets back to the offseason chatter after the holidays. He predicts what to expect from the Japanese imports and Rule 5 picks.
The White Sox and Rangers put together a trade made for Baseball America readers.
Soak in the Festivus love as Matt Meyers hits the ESPN chat room and spreads holiday cheer to Paul O'Neill fans.
After opening the 2006 draft by selecting six high schoolers, the Nationals took a college player they also believe has a high ceiling—Baylor lefthander Cory VanAllen.
This was a different kind of Rule 5 pick than the ones that longtime Blue Jays fans remember. The organization had a nice little run with their Rule 5 picks in the 1980s with players like Willie Upshaw, George Bell, Jim Acker, Jim Gott, Kelly Gruber and Manny Lee. Those guys were drafted as young players with potential who became regulars down the line. But in the latest draft at the Winter Meetings, the Blue Jays took an older utility infielder in Jason Smith, 29, from the Cubs.
The inevitable may finally be upon the Rangers. They are considering asking shortstop Joaquin Arias to learn some other positions. It may be the only way for Arias to get to the majors with the Rangers.
Losing Josh Hamilton in the Rule 5 draft was headline news given how much time, money and emotion the Devil Rays invested in the talented but troubled No. 1 overall pick of the 1999 draft. Losing Nick DeBarr could turn out to hurt them more directly.
After three years in the Mariners organization and still stuck at short-season Everett after the 2005 season, righthander Joe Woerman had a very pointed self-evaluation.
The Giants always seem to find interesting lefthanded relievers, and several of them are lining up for take off. Jack Taschner remains the most intriguing arm ready to break through and help the big league club this season, but David Quinowski and Paul Oseguera are beginning to attract attention at the lower levels.
Leo Rosales has always been a workhorse. Need someone to finish a game, work an inning in a clutch situation? Call on Leo.
One of the players he introduced to the Cardinals, outfielder Edwin Conde, made a mark by winning the organization's MVP award for its Rookie-level Venezuelan Summer League team. Now Dennis Martinez is going to do more for the Cardinals than just uncover talent. He's going to coach it.

Wis. reactor is still in startup mode
The Point Beach Unit 2 reactor remains in the final stages of restarting after a more than two-month shutdown, NextEra Energy Resources Inc. said Friday.
I had written on Plugged In Thursday that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission had listed the reactor as generating power Thursday and Friday in its daily "reactor status report." But NextEra spokeswoman Sara Cassidy said Friday that the process of startup is not complete and that Unit 2 has not yet connected to the power grid.
The plant was shut down for refueling, maintenance and work necessary to accommodate a 17% boost in power output from the reactor.
NextEra sells power from Point Beach to We Energies of Milwaukee. Under the expansion, or uprate, additional power produced by Point Beach will be sold to WPPI Energy, a non-profit supplier of power to municipal utilities.

Hanrahan leaves with right forearm tightness
Hanrahan: 'Never had a feeling like this'
BOSTON -- On a day in which the Red Sox placed Andrew Bailey on the 15-day disabled list with a right biceps strain, Joel Hanrahan left Monday night's game against the Minnesota Twins with a right forearm strain in the top of the ninth inning, after blowing his second save of the season.
Hanrahan officially re-assumed the role as Red Sox closer on Monday, after losing it to Bailey when Hanrahan was placed on the 15-day DL last month, thanks to a hamstring injury.
With Bailey now on the DL, Hanrahan got his chance to shine, but he allowed a one-out bomb to Twins lead-off hitter Brian Dozier on a 3-2 fastball got into the monster seats in a hurry.
Dozier's solo home run tied the game at 5-5, but Hanrahan responded by striking out Joe Mauer on four pitches.
In the next at-bat, Hanrahan walked Josh Willingham on five pitches. After then throwing a ball to Justin Morneau, Hanrahan looked directly into the Red Sox dugout, as if to let manager John Farrell know that something wasn't right.
"I threw the pitch and I felt a little pull, kind of like my forearm went a little bit with the ball," said Hanrahan after Boston's extra-inning win. "I felt like I could still throw the ball alright, like, maybe just stretch it out a little bit and see what happens. And eventually I got to that point where I tried to make a pickoff to first, and the ball barely got there. I threw one more, and I just couldn't take it anymore."
After a short mound visit, Hanrahan exited the game in favor of Clayton Mortensen, who went 2.1 scoreless innings in relief and picked up the win.
Hanrahan will be evaluated further with an MRI on Tuesday. It's a type of soreness that he said is something he's never felt.
"This isn't how I planned my time with the Red Sox, dealing with the hamstring thing right out of the gate," said Hanrahan. "And I've been back for two, three games, and now this happens. Hopefully everything will check out alright [on Tuesday], and won't be too serious."
In the case that Hanrahan will miss time, Red Sox manager John Farrell said that he trusts the rest of the bullpen to be able to fill the role of closer.
"He'll go through a full workout [on Tuesday]," said Farrell. "An MRI, obviously. But until that time, we'll have more information.
"We've got a couple guys out there that we feel confident that they'll be able to close out games."
