A dance of celebration! No biobullets for these beautiful beings! BFC file photo by Stephany. Click for larger image.
Buffalo gained another small victory this week. Yellowstone National Park announced their final decision on an Environmental Assessment for remotely vaccinating wild bison with bio-bullets containing the experimental livestock brucellosis vaccine, RB51, which has never been approved for use in wild bison. Many of you commented on this EA and we sincerely thank you for your time and effort. Remote vaccination is a costly, ineffective, time-consuming project that would have had significant negative impacts on bison behavior, natural disease resistance and immunity, the visitor experience of bison within Yellowstone National Park, and other negative impacts as outlined in this joint letter from Buffalo Field Campaign and Western Watersheds Project.
Your comments influenced the Park's decision, so we hope you'll take a moment to celebrate this good news! Pat yourself on the back with one hand, and with the other, keep pressure applied to prevent Yellowstone from following through with other harmful plans. While bison will be safe from remote vaccination, the Park Service says they will continue to administer RB51 when bison are captured. However, Yellowstone says that this year it is unlikely that any captured bison will be vaccinated, because they will be handed over to tribal interests for direct shipment to slaughter.
Urge the National Park Service Director to Rescind Buffalo Slaughter Contracts and to Pull Out of the Interagency Bison Management Plan
WHY will bison be handed over to tribes? What does 'tribal interests' mean and why are they sending them to slaughter??? For food? There's enough domestic buffalo (Ted Turner's) for food!
I read this Vicky and also signed the latest petition. It seems they take one step forward then two back. So very frustrating!
Thanks for signing, Carlene. Bison need all the friends they can get!
Your email has been sent
WELL DONE! Thank you for sending this letter to help protect America's last wild buffalo
Thanks for your signature and/or comments on the petition, June!
thanks for posting this,been holding off

You're welcome TAS. I know you've been hurting and besides you post your links and I post stories so we cover it both ways. If I can't do the stories you cover my back with the links and if you can't do the links then I cover you with the story.

ADJUSTABLE CONDUIT FOR RADIATOR v AND ENGINE CONNECTIQN Filed Nov. 8, 1947 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 f ",forzze Patented Sept. 14, 1948 ADJUSTABLE CONDUIT FOR RADIATOR AND ENGINE CONNECTION Glenn B. Williams, Ralston, Nebr. Application November 8, 1947, Serial No. 784,914
This invention relates to a conduit for use between an automobile engine cooling system and a radiator and more particularly to a conduit made of a standard length and shape that may be cut to be fitted to a number of difl'eren-t automobiles according to a chart associated with the conduit.
Every internal combustion engine in an automobile must have a cooling system witha cooling medium flowing therethrough. The cooling medium gains heat from the in-ternal combustion engine and it is necessary to direct the cooling medium to a radiator to be cooled so that the same cooling medium may be used continuously. The radiator must thus have an inlet for the cooling medium of the engine and an outlet from the radiator after the cooling medium has passed .therethrough. The internal combustionengine has an outlet for the cooling medium at the top thereof and an inlet for the cooling medium to the internal combustion engine at the bottom of the engine. It is necessary to connect the outlet oi the engine with the inlet to the radiator to 7 several conduits to extend between an automobile engine and radiator wherein the garage man for the small investment involved in stocking the several conduits that are adjustable, can care for a large number and varieties of automobiles without the investment 01 stoc n ,a specific conduit for each make and variety of automobile.
It is still a further object of the invention to Provide several conduits to extend between an automobile engine and radiator wherein the garage man need not possess any particular skill to select the proper conduit for any make or variety of automobile and to provide the adjustment necessary to fit the chosen conduit between the en ine and radiator.
With the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention will be more fully described herewith and will be Particularly pointed outin the claim appended hereto.
In the drawings, wherein like symbols refer to like or corresponding parts throughout the several views:
1 Claim. (Cl. 138-49) 2 Figure 1 is a side elevational view showing conduit members connected between the engine and radiator of an automobile. v
Figure 2 is a close-upside elevational view of one of'the conduit members.
Figure 3 is an enlarged elevational view oi one end of a conduit showing a chart member before being wrapped around the conduit.
Figures 4. 5 and 6 show elevational views of other conduit members with each conduitvarying as to the preformed curved section.
Automobile manufacturers in designing an automobile pay slight attention, in placing the engine and radiator on a chassis, to having the outlet from the engine cooling system come directly opposite the inlet to the radiator and having the outlet from the radiator come directly opposite the inlet to the engine cooling system. A flexible conduit of rubber hose has been employed to connect the outlet frcmthe engine cooling system to the inlet to the radiator and likewise a flexible conduit of rubber has been employed to connect the outlet of the radiator to the inlet to the engine cooling. system. that a straight length of hose can be used since the respective outlets and inlets lie in diflerent planes necessitating a curve in the connecting conduit. The conduit may either be formed with the correct curve and 01' the proper length or a straight length of hose may be employed and flexed to get the proper curve. I
The conduits being of rubber'ior the needed flexibility wear out and need replacement constantly. The ordinary garageman and sevice station operator couldnot hope to carry c nduit in stock to flt every model and make of automobile in operation today. First. the investment would b prohibitive and secondly the space to store and mark the conduits would be all out of proportion to the profit return. Some garages and service stations carry a coil of hose in stock and. attempt to make their own conduits by cutting to a proper length and then flexing the straight conduit to get the proper curve. This results in waste in that the hose can be out too short as it is very hard tomeasur-e for the proper length and to bend the hose, puts the rubber under stress which causes the conduit to wear very fast.
Very seldom does it-occur As in iously stated, the automobile "designer has other considerationsfor locating the engine and radiator: on; the automobile chassis 3, other than making a-straight connection between the engine'and radiator. .The engine i has an exit nipple l forthe en ine cooling, system through which the cooling medium may flow. The nipple 4r conduit in will fit and where the installator mus cut to adopt the conduit ill to the particular auto- 1 mobile in which it is to be installed.
4 is connected by a conduit [with an inlet nipple v 6 extending from the; top of the radiator'Z. The conduit 5 is of rubber to be flexible, fits over the nipples l and 6 and the ends of the conduit 5 are clamped by ordinary clamps I to seal .with the nipples 4 and 6. An outlet nipple 8. extends from the lower end of theradiator 2, connects with a second conduit 9 which inturn connects into the inlet (not shown) of the engine cooling system.
As will be noted. the inlet nipple 6 of the radiator 2 is inja different horizontal plane than If the conduit ill of Figure 2, referring to chart I! in Figure 3, were cut at twenty-six thus severing the straight portion i3 to the right of twentysix. The conduit In as now cut, will ilt-a Buick automobile, made in years 1936-1938 and having model numbers 60-80--90. The conduit ill thus cut will be for the lower conduit, such as shown at 9 in sure 1 as can be seen from the first row of the chart ii.
In operation, the garage owner or service station owner stocks the conduits In as shown in Figures '2, 4, 5 and 6 instead of stocking separate conduits for each model, each year and make of automobile. when it is necessary to replace a conduit, the installator looks over the charts i5 to find the conduit ID with the proper preformed the outlet nipple from the engine I, thus necessi- .soas to require different length conduits and the distance betweenhorizontal and vertical planes can vary so as tor quire different degrees of curvature in the conduits.
Figures 2, 4, 5 and 6 show a series of conduits In each having a preformed curved portion Ii and straight conduit portions l2 and I3 extendingfrom each end of the curved portion H. The curved portions l'i vary in order to fit inlets and outlets between the radiators and engines where the distances of horizontal and vertical planes vary. The conduit Ill of Figure 6 is curved to an angle llless than 90 degrees; the conduit Ill of Figure 5 is curved to an angle H of approximately 90 degrees; the conduit IU of Figure 2 is curved to angle I l between 90 degrees andl80 degrees; and the conduit ill of Figure 4 is curved to an angle Ii that closely approaches 180 degrees. With this variety of angle curves II, it is found that the majority of the makes and models of automobiles are covered.
The conduits In over their entire lengths are divided into unit lengths and are marked by-numerals starting at zero at one end and'proceeding to the other'end of the conduit. The conduit in of Figure 2 runs to thirty-four; the conduit Ill of Figure 4 to'twenty-six; and the conduits Ill of Figures 5 and 6 go to thirty-five. Each unit length is marked by lines, as an example the lines I of Figure 2, which lines It extend a substantial distance around the outer periphery of the conduits Ill. The conduits ill may be cut through on any line H to sever a portion of the straight conduits It or IS on either side of the curved portion ii to adjust the length of the conduit II). It is noted that lines 14 are so placed on the peripheries of the c'onduits Ill that when cuts through the conduits. Ill are made through the lines ii, the plane of the cuts through the conduits from end to end will always be perpendicular to a, center linethrough the conduits in regardless of which line I4 is chosen to make the curve Ii. After the proper conduit with the preformed curve is located, the chart I5 is consulted to determine if the conduit l0 chosen is proper length. The chart l5,'in the first column will show where the straight portions i2 and I! are to be severed and the installator' makes the cuts. After this the conduit It may be installed.
It can therefore be seen that several standard conduits can be carried which are adjustable to care for many diflerent installations without the necessity of a large number of separate conduits.
It will be understood that the invention has been described for purposes of illustration and explanation and that changesiand variations are possible withoutdeparting from the scope of'the invention; all suchmodiiications and changes are 1 intended to be'includedjin the appended claim.
I c aim: v 1

How to describe me, hmmm... I definitely have...
How to describe me, hmmm... I definitely have my quirks, but then again isn't that what makes a person unique? I mean who doesn't check the alarm clock 10 times in a row just to make sure it's on, or check underneath the bed for boogeyman before going to sleep, j/k :-) I'd have to say that my best quality is my sense of humor, dry, albeit occasionally a sarcastic one. I can usually find something funny or ironic in almost everything. Anything that makes me laugh, especially when its least expected, always makes me feel good, and that's what I try to do with people around me. I'm open to trying most things at least once, because you never know what you might like. I mean whoever thought that raw fish would be good, until you actually try it. I also like learning new things and developing new skills, some of it useful and some not so useful. Replacing a bathroom toilet, useful; Knowing the Pi=3.14159, probably not quite as much, unless of course I'm trying to make the world's largest pancake and need to know how much flour to get at the grocery store :-) I'm fascinated by this world and enjoy intellectual discussions about issues affecting society in this and other countries. I'm interested in politics and world events and enjoy thought provoking conversations and other viewpoints that make me think. Suffice it to say, I'm also, a bit of an information junkie, and my mind is like a sponge; no, not porous and waterlogged, but the kind that easily soaks up new information. In that respect, I guess I'll always be somewhat of a student at heart. Because once you stop learning, you stop evolving. So I may spend an hour on Wikipedia just because I found an interesting article on Eiffel Tower, or hang out at the book store just because I had an urge to read something new. I miss not having real bookstores to go to and spend a morning or afternoon in. I'm a hopeful romantic. I like letting someone that I care about know it. It might be just opening a door, taking a walk together, giving a compliment, or listening at the end of a hard day, but something that makes a person feel good. I mean, if you care about someone why not show it and let them know they're important to you! Because you never know what might happen tomorrow. If someone is in need, and I have the ability to help then I will try, and not expect something in return. Just the act of giving sometimes is the reward in and of itself. I'm fascinated by science, history, and astronomy! Perhaps it's a sense of appreciating how much larger the universe is and how small we are in comparison. But I like to explore the night skies and discover the wonder that is all around. In that sense I can be a geek who marvels at a distant star or something microscopic . If I could build an observatory on top of my roof, well, that would be amazing. If it the roof also happen to have a nice hot tub to relax in after and enjoy the stars, wow. Dare to dream! I keep active by walking/hiking, going to the gym, and doing my own workouts! I don't exactly love the gym part, at least during, but I love the feeling it gives you afterword, like now I can go eat that plate of fries, mmm! I recently got back into playing guitar and am enjoying playing again. I consider myself a bit of a movie buff, and have an annoying penchant for remembering dialog. Don't ask me how it just seems to stick. I would like to meet someone who is down to earth, a little quirky, has a great sense of humor, and who is not afraid to be silly or laugh at herself. Someone who also enjoys learning and is a curious person in general. Someone who is believes in fitness and being healthy and active as a lifelong goal.

Indicator Report - Birth Defects: Hypospadias
Why Is This Important?Hypospadias is one of the most common birth defects being tracked by the Utah Birth Defect Network (UBDN). Hypospadias is a congenital malformation of the penis, in which the urethral opening or meatus is displaced on the underside of the penis. Severity is classified based on the location of the meatus, and ranges from a) coronal or distal hypospadias, in which the meatus is only slightly displaced; b) shaft hypospadias; to c) perineal hypospadias, in which the meatus opens below the scrotum near the anus. Hypospadias can be associated with chordee (the downward or ventral curvature of the penis, particularly in severe hypospadias), and sometimes with cryptorchidism (the failure of the testicles to descend into the scrotum).

I've known a lot of people who have done meth, and none of them looked half as bad as the pic posted. But I will say this you will eventually lose your job, you will shy away from your family,you will steal,and you will be put in jail. It is a very addicting drug.

Mounting Option #1
Mounting Option #2
Bring your artwork to life with the stylish lines and added depth of an acrylic print. Your image gets printed directly onto the back of a 1/4" thick sheet of clear acrylic.
The image is the art - it doesn't get any cleaner than that!
All acrylic prints ship within 3 - 4 business days and arrive "ready to hang" with four aluminum mounting posts (Option #1) or hanging wire (Option #2).
The high gloss of the acrylic sheet complements the rich colors of any image to produce stunning results.
There are two different ways to mount your acrylic print.
Option #1 (Mounting Posts) - Attach your print to your wall with four aluminum mounting posts. The cylindrical cap of each mounting post can be removed, allowing you to thread a small screw along the center axis of the of post and into the wall. When you're finished, simply reattached each cap, and you're done. The mounting posts act as stand-offs and keep your print separated from the wall by 1". All of the required mounting hardware (i.e. posts, screws, and wall anchors) is included with your print. Click here for mounting details.
Option #2 (Hanging Wire) - With this option, your acrylic print is attached to a 1/4" thick black board which has a wooden frame and hanging wire attached to the back. There are no metal mounting posts at the corners. Simply put a nail in your wall, hang your print from the hanging wire, and you're done. Due to the thickness of the black board and mounting frame, your print is separated from the wall by 1.50" Click here for mounting details.
Shot this with a converted came to get this infrared photograph. Shot this with a fish eye lens about an inch off the road, and right down the middle. Pretty cool isn't it?

They had the key and all my personal belongings inside the truck. What, if anything, can be done. I am unemployed and could not find any legal representation to assist me. Thank you.

WIX: a Distributed Internet Exchange
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is fundamental to the operation of the Internet, because it automates the sharing of routes by a process called advertising. Adjacent routers establish a BGP session and advertise their networks to the other routers. It is a bit like one router saying to another, "Here is my IP address. If you have traffic with any of the following destination addresses, send it to me." BGP doesn't stop there, though. Routers also share information they have gathered from other routers. They say, "I also know how to get traffic to some other networks. Send that to me as well."
Typical Internet exchanges are different from the rest of the Internet and use Internal Gateway Protocol (IGP) instead. This protocol does not pass on information to other routers—it only advertises routes within the networks to which it is connected. The router says, "You can send me traffic for these addresses, but you can't pass that address information on to any other routers."
In 1998, Citylink started work on deploying a BGP/4-based Internet exchange on top of the public Ethernet. One of the key design criteria was a low cost of entry. So the Citylink team took a step back and looked at the exchange problem from a logical point of view: what were the core requirements of an exchange, and how could they use the existing fibre infrastructure to create an environment that would encourage as many people as possible to join? Exchanging traffic via an exchange is called peering.
A key component of Citylink's approach involved placing routers at a customer's point of connection to the fibre infrastructure rather than in a central location. Not a lot of options were available for BGP/4-capable routers, though—you pretty much bought a Cisco or a Cisco (Figure 2).
Because the exchange was distributed, Citylink needed a low-cost mechanism to allow people to peer, and so they started using Zebra on Linux as an alternative routing platform to Cisco.
Because of the limited space in clients' cabinets and the need to be able to buy the same hardware over a reasonable period of time, Citylink now has standardized on two systems. Boards from Soekris Engineering (4501 and 4801) are used for routers up to 30Mb/s, while Nexcom P4 GigE and VIA 100Mb boards are used for 100Mb/s connections and upwards to 300–500Mb/s on a good day. The Linux Embedded Appliance Firewall (LEAF) forms the basis of all software used on Citylink routing hardware.
Customers can use the Citylink routers or whatever suits their needs and budgets. A wide variety are in use—from Dlink and Xyzel at the low end to Juniper and Cisco boxes at the high end. A lot of people also use their own Linux and *BSD boxes. Using PC-based routers does limit the options for network interfaces, but this is not an issue for Citylink, which uses only Ethernet.
In addition to devolving hardware to client's premises, the routing tables for the whole exchange are managed by way of route servers, the operation of which I explain later in this article.
The new exchange was dubbed WIX, the Wellington Internet Exchange. There is a fixed monthly charge for connection, and traffic over the fibre network is free. Because the network often runs right past a potential user's door, it is easy for anyone to connect and peer. And this is exactly what has happened—even end users who could never peer under a traditional model now can. For all exchange users, access to the global Internet still necessitates the purchase of "transit"—access to the global Internet routing table—from at least one ISP.
The open peering approach has made a huge impact on traffic flows and latency. When the Internet first started in New Zealand, the country's single exchange point, at Waikato University, was also the international gateway for the whole country. Two businesses in Wellington wanting to exchange data would send it to their respective ISPs, who sent it upstream to Waikato. The path time for this typically ran 50–200ms. When ISPs began to exchange data directly in Wellington, this rate dropped to 20ms. End-user peering reduced this by another factor of ten, to 2ms.
In addition to shorter and faster network paths, no charges are levied for traffic sent over Citylink by way of the exchange. ISPs never see the traffic, because the exchange directs it through the shortest path to the requesting party.
A number of printing companies peer at WIX and exchange huge publishing files at no cost. One local newspaper runs an FTP server on WIX to which pre-press companies can upload files. Some graphics houses also run media stores for their clients, and these can browsed at no cost, as though they were part of the client's own LAN. These are only a few of the ways that the fibre infrastructure and WIX have helped local businesses to lower costs, expand and innovate.
The distributed exchange environment has been likened to a market square—anyone can trade his or her wares with no cost for participation. Not everyone chooses to peer openly though, and the exchange supports all types of participation. A number of ISPs exchange traffic only with established customers and ignore any other traffic. Some simply use WIX as a neutral point to exchange data with one other party.
About 130 entities are peering at WIX, with close to 1,000 using the Citylink fibre for private purposes or public Internet connectivity. Encouraging peering comes with a downside though—a lot of participants means a lot of routing tables need to be managed.

Mark your calendars: August 15, US vs. Mexico
Jun 21, 2012, 3:05 PM EDT
Jurgen Klinsmann has openly been talking about it for a month now, but it's finally official: the United States national team will take on Mexico in Estadio Azteca on August 15.
This. Is. Awesome.
The rivalry between the US and Mexico is one of the world's best. It doesn't get any better for soccer fans in North America. Heck, someone even made a documentary detailing all the different bits of cultural significance.
But the game is perhaps an even better opportunity for the US team. Jurgen Klinsmann can lead his squad — many who have never played in Mexico — into the massive, buzzing cauldron and let them get a feel for the place without any pressure. You're never prepared for the intensity of Azteca, but getting a friendly under their belt will help the Americans when they (presumably) travel to Mexico during the Hexagonal round. (It's the first friendly in Mexico since 1984.)
The US has nothing to lose. Everyone expects them to fail. And, frankly, they probably will. But it's not like a victory will make Mexico any more confident. The utter destruction at the 2011 Gold Cup final took care of that, thank you very much.
At worst, the Americans lose badly and gain some vital experience for down the road. At best, they shock Mexico, get a result, and put a small dent in Azteca's impenetrability. It's a win-win for everyone in the US program.
If nothing else, Kingston — where the Stars and Stripes play on Sept. 7 in the team's next World Cup qualifier — will seem like a walk in the park.

Kookaburra Song Loses the Word "Gay"
BY Advocate.com Editors
September 01 2010 7:30 PM ET
An Australian primary school has removed the word "gay" from the children's folk song "Kookaburra Sits in the Old Gum Tree."
According to The Herald Sun, officials at Cheltenham's Lepage Primary in Victoria have instructed students to sing "fun your life must be," rather than the written "gay your life must be."
Principal Garry Martin taught first grade students the song using an old tape. "It uses 'gay' and I just suggested to kids, 'Nowadays, that can mean different things, so let's just sing a fun old time,' " he said. "It was my decision to replace it. I guess that was hypersensitive of me."
But gay rights activists are taking offense, saying the principal is underestimating his students. I don't think that's a very good message for kids to have, particularly when they've been working really hard to bring in respect and diversity into schools," Crusader Hillis, from the LGBT activist group Also Foundation, told The Sun.
