RENO, Nev. — Thirty U.S. representatives urged new U.S. Interior Secretary Sally Jewell on Thursday to make a priority out of reforming the government's wild horse management program and its spiraling budget that they said has created an "untenable situation" for both the mustangs and taxpayers.
Arizona Rep. Raul Grijalva, the ranking Democrat on the House Natural Resources subcommittee on public lands and environmental regulation, wrote the letter appealing to Jewell "as a conservationist and outdoor enthusiast" to help bring "long overdue" changes at the U.S. Bureau of Land Management charged with protecting the horses.
"Given the importance of wild horses to the American people and considering the ever-tightening budget situation, we believe that this is a problem that demands your urgent attention," he wrote.
Florida Rep. C.W. Bill Young, a senior member of the House Appropriations Committee, was the lone Republican to sign the letter.
The majority of the co-signers were from states in the East and South, but several joined from states that are home to some of the estimated 37,000 free-roaming wild horses and burros on federal land in the West, including five representatives from California and three from Oregon.
Grijalva said they're asking for renewed attention to the program after an independent scientific review of horse roundups. The review, which was released last month, recommended that the government invest in widespread fertility control of the mustangs and let nature cull any excess herds instead of spending millions to house them in overflowing holding pens.
The 14-member panel assembled by the National Academy of Sciences' National Research Council and Management concluded BLM's removal of nearly 100,000 horses from the Western range over the past decade is probably having the opposite effect of its intention to ease ecological damage and reduce overpopulated herds.
By stepping in prematurely when food and water supplies remain adequate, BLM is producing artificial conditions that ultimately serve to perpetuate population growth, the committee stated.
Jewell, former CEO of outdoor retailer Recreation Equipment Inc., succeeded former Colorado Sen. Ken Salazar in April as secretary of the department overseeing more than 500 million acres of national parks and other public lands.
Interior Department spokeswoman Jessica Kershaw said Thursday that Jewell is "committed to protecting and managing these iconic animals for current and future generations."
"The BLM is reviewing the NAS study in detail with a view to make investments in science-based management approaches, explore additional opportunities for population control and increase transparency for a more cost-effective program," Kershaw said in response to the congressional letter.
Grijalva (gree-HAHL'-vuh) said BLM's wild horse budget has doubled since 2009 as the agency "escalated its unsustainable roundup-remove-and-stockpile approach to wild horse management." Last year, BLM spent 60 percent of its wild horse budget on holding facilities alone, more than $40 million.
"In fact, the U.S. government today maintains more wild horses in captivity than remain in the wild," Grijalva said. "This is an untenable situation, both for America's wild horses and for American taxpayers."
Suzanne Roy, director of the American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign, said more than 30,000 people signed a companion letter to Jewell on Thursday, including celebrities Robert Redford, Carole King, Valerie Bertinelli, Ali MacGraw, Ricky Schroeder, Ed Harris, Noah Wylie and Betty White.

The Astros lost their final 15 games
Sep 29, 2013, 9:00 PM EDT
The Yankees brought half a team to Houston, but that was enough to get a three-game sweep and conclude the Astros' historic season with 15 straight losses.
They're the first team since the 1899 Cleveland Spiders to lose their final 15 games.
The Astros ended up 51-111. They're the 12th team since 1900 ever to lose 111 games. No team lost 110 from 1970-2000, but the 2003 Tigers went 43-119 and the 2004 Diamondbacks, like the Astros, finished 51-111.
The Astros do have a few league leaders. Chris Carter ended up with 212 strikeouts, the third highest total of all-time. He came up 11 short of the record set by Mark Reynolds of the Diamondbacks in 2009.
Jose Altuve led the AL by getting caught stealing 13 times. He also finished second in GIDPs with 24 and and fourth in outs made with 498. The Astros dominated the caught stealing category, with Brandon Barnes finishing tied for second and Jonathan Villar sneaking into a tie for seventh place despite not debuting until July 22.
Right-hander Lucas Harrell led the league in walks with 88 and losses with 16, though he was tied with Seattle's Joe Saunders there. He reached those marks while making just 22 starts and 13 relief appearances.
The Astros did win something for all of their struggles, though. They'll pick first overall in the MLB draft for the third straight year next June.
- Jack Marshall - Sep 29, 2013 at 9:06 PM
Makes one ponder about the A's and the Rangers, a bit, no? I wonder what Tampa and Boston's records would have been with the Astros to kick around instead of the Jays…
- raysfan1 - Sep 29, 2013 at 9:31 PM
I would instead point out that the AL Central and AL West each had 3 sub-.500 teams and 2with 90+ losses. The AL East had but one losing team. However, it is what it is–with the current playoff formula and the unbalanced scheduling, that will always be the case for someone. My Rays were in 1st, got healthy at the right time, but slumped for much of September. I'm pleased they won 91, and hope they take care of business. If not, then tip o' the cap to the Rangers and start thinking about 2014.
- kruegere - Sep 29, 2013 at 9:35 PM
The Rays wish they could play the White Sox/Twins/Astros more.
- raysfan1 - Sep 29, 2013 at 9:39 PM
Correction, only two losing teams in AL Central, although correct that both lost >90 games.
- hackerjay - Sep 29, 2013 at 10:38 PM
Sure, strength of schedule matters, but the Rays opponents had a .507 winning percentage and the Indians and Rangers both faced a .497 winning percentage.
That's the difference between a team that goes 80-82 and a team that goes 82-80. It's hardly the end of the world, and it probably is barely even worth a win over a full season.
- proudlycanadian - Sep 29, 2013 at 9:23 PM
There were over 40,000 fans at the game in Houston today. The series against the Yankees was very well attended. Eventually, those high draft picks will begin to pay off and the long suffering fans will be rewarded.
- stex52 - Sep 29, 2013 at 9:29 PM
Don't overestimate the quality of Astros' management. High draft choices and top prospects get wasted all the time. Believe it when you see it. I promise you one thing. The plan may have been to tank this season and play for the future, but they had no idea how bad this team was going to be. They seriously thought they would hold it to under 100 losses.
I'm along way from trusting their judgment on anything.
- vlock1 - Sep 29, 2013 at 11:11 PM
"Long suffering" = 2005 NL Champions.
I mean, I feel for Astros fans right now, but let's not pretend that they're going through a Pirates-level dry spell.
- proudlycanadian - Sep 29, 2013 at 11:32 PM
OK! They are not as bad as the Cubs either
- vlock1 - Sep 29, 2013 at 11:59 PM
That goes without saying.
One day, Cubs fans. One day.
- proudlycanadian - Sep 29, 2013 at 9:29 PM
There were 5 teams with more than 95 losses during the season. Following Houston's 111, Miami lost 100, the White Sox lost 99, while both the Twins and Cubs lost 96 each. It was a very bad year in Chicago. Both the White Sox and the Cubs will be drafting in the top 5.
- johnnysoda - Sep 29, 2013 at 9:35 PM
Wow. I mean, I don't even feel like making fun of them. Just…wow.
At least they have nowhere to go but up.
- stex52 - Sep 29, 2013 at 9:50 PM
We hope, Johnny.
- apmn - Sep 29, 2013 at 9:50 PM
I can only hope that they were caught stealing so often because they were wearing ankle weights as part of their 2014 training regimen.
- stex52 - Sep 29, 2013 at 9:52 PM
- mkd - Sep 29, 2013 at 9:55 PM
2003 Tigers went 43-119.
2006 Tigers went to the World Series.
Think about it.
- DJ MC - Sep 29, 2013 at 11:00 PM
Similarly with the 2004 Diamondbacks; the 2007 team lost the NLCS.
- fearthehoody - Sep 29, 2013 at 10:09 PM
40k fans in attendance? You're crazy. There's a difference between attendance and tickets sold
- stex52 - Sep 29, 2013 at 10:10 PM
Yankees were in town. Mo and Pettite are retiring. Probably did actually fill the stadium.

Introducing Baptist Women for Equality
Shirley Taylor, formerly an employee of BGCT, is now leading a new organization of Baptist Women who are committed to promoting women in leadership roles within Baptist life.
Baptist Women for Equality advocate for women deacons and women pastors in Baptist churches. They just published their first newsletter, "An Open Letter to Baptists" with brief discussions of scripture and the 2000 Baptist Faith and Message.
Kudos to Shirley and the other Baptist Women in her organization. Mainstream Baptists will want to become familiar with their work.

Ready to propel your career forward? Amp up your confidence and communicating game!
Building software — that you're both proud of AND meets business needs — means making a few tradeoffs.
12 software engineers share nuggets of advice about job hunting, learning to code, hunting for your first development job and more.
Don't try to get really good at something you suck at. Instead, get really good at hiring people who are already have that skill set.
Don't fixate on the mainstream users at the start. Focus on your early adopters, and you can monetize early — before you even have a product.
Have a lot of ideas, but not sure which one to pursue? Tune in to our free webinar lead by the founder of Femgineer to figure it out.
Read through what the founder of BizeeBee & Femgineer has to say about her experience as an entrepreneur.
Check out the latest edition of our weekly Women 2.0 reading guide and join the conversation.
You need to find your passion before you follow it. Here are a few tips to help you locate yours.
Keen to bootstrap to get your business going? Look no further…
An engineer who teaches at universities shares students recruiting pet peeves, and how companies can do better.
How one founder overcame her initial skepticism and found freedom and efficiency by running a remote team.
Poornima Vijayashanker, co-founder of Femgineer, addresses some common questions women coders face in the tech industry.
A product development veteran shares her favorites for analytics, storage, prototyping, product management, code management and feedback and support.
I didn't let my peers who were smarter, more experienced, and didn't have to worry about money bother me. I just put my blinders on and plugged away.
By Poornima Vijayashanker (Founder, Femgineer)
I am really bad at quitting. Failing miserably isn't enough to get me to quit either. For example, when I was a freshman in college, I got a 19 on my first Computer Science test. It was a wake-up call that instilled fear in me to drop the class, but a semester later I couldn't shake the thought of dropping it. So instead I decided to spend my entire summer re-taking the course, eventually majoring in computer science and, well, we know what happened after that.
Even when catastrophe strikes, I cannot quit. My freshman year, my dad lost his job.
Lean methodologies offers a structure where you can perform a series of tests, measure the results, review what contributed to success or failures before moving on…
By Poornima Vijayashanker (Founder, Femgineer)
Seems like everyone has heard the buzz about the Lean Startup movement, which was started over three years ago by Eric Ries. Yet I'm always surprised at the number of founders, product managers, and startup folks I meet who are struggling. Many have built and shipped products, some have even raised capital, but the one commonality amongst them all is they don't fundamentally understand why they aren't getting any traction. They're stuck scratching their heads trying to figure out how to monetize.
Before you get into a partnership, have a conversation first.
I've programmed myself to do the hardest things in life, but they've also brought me the greatest joy!
By Poornima Vijayashanker (Founder & CEO, BizeeBee)
Instead of doing what's easiest, I always chose to pursue the hard path. Even after dropping out of my first computer science class, I forced myself to take summer school, and take the class again. Then when most were dropping out of engineering school, I convinced myself into double majoring in electrical engineering and computer science with just two years before graduation.
BizeeBee's Poornima Vijayashanker suggested that "women need to get more comfortable with making the ask."
By Emily Gonzales (CTO, Bookigee)
The panel at the 29th Bay Area Girl Geek Dinner hosted by Atlassian was an impressive mix of admirable women drawn from the online media, venture capital and SaaS sectors of technology.

Joakim Soria is rehabbing from Tommy John surgery, but that isn't deterring from checking up on him. Jon Morosi of FOXSports.com is reporting the Red Sox have "checked in on" him, although he wouldn't be ready to pitch until late-May or June. A two-time All-Star, Soria is two years removed from his last All-Star season as closer for the Royals. That season, he compiled a 1-2 record with a 1.78 ERA and logged a career-high 43 saves. Through five seasons –– all with Kansas City –– Soria has posted a 13-15 record with 2.40 ERA and racked up 341 strikeouts. He blossomed under former Red Sox pitching coach Bob McClure. Soria's season came to a halt last spring training when he sensed pain in his right elbow. It resulted in his second Tommy John surgery of his career, with the first taking place back in 2003. The Royals declined his $8 million option in the offseason, but Soria has expressed a desire to stay with the club. But if it doesn't happen, the right-hander could be a candidate to bolster Boston's bullpen.

With his first day as Starkville School DistrictŌĆÖs superintendent one month away, Lewis Holloway returned to Starkville this week to spend more time with SSD staff, students and alumni, assess the districtŌĆÖs needs and prepare to address them.
Holloway said he arrived during Memorial Day weekend, and throughout June, he will use paid leave from his job in the Bulloch County, Ga. school district to complete his move to Starkville and work with the SSD as a consultant. HollowayŌĆÖs contract as SSD superintendent officially begins July 1.
Keith Coble, SSD Board of Trustees president, said June will enable Holloway to develop a better understanding of the districtŌĆÖs budget, personnel and activities. He said SSD Interim Superintendent Beth Sewell and Assistant Superintendent Walter Gonsoulin have been instrumental in the transition process.
ŌĆ£I would say the transition has been quite easy up to this point,ŌĆØ Coble said. ŌĆ£Dr. Holloway has been eager to get his finger on the pulse of the district. I think, in a lot of ways, (heŌĆÖs) getting up to speed.ŌĆØ
SSD recently completed its Southern Association of Colleges and Schools accreditation evaluation, and Holloway said he will use that evaluation to prioritize the districtŌĆÖs issues. The district needs realistic, actionable plans for technology, facilities, a five-year budget and to surviving economic constraints, he said, and he wants to keep the process transparent enough for all SSD constituents to provide input.
ŌĆ£I think thereŌĆÖs a lot of work that needs to be done to help me understand and acclimate to the school district,ŌĆØ Holloway said. ŌĆ£Every time IŌĆÖve come (to Starkville, SSD Public Information Officer Nicole Thomas) has given me a full schedule to meet with different people in the community ... to give me a perspective of what itŌĆÖs going to be like coming into Starkville. IŌĆÖve focused the last visit on school board members and people in the district. Right now, weŌĆÖre in the budget process and trying to bring closure to that. I hope in the next couple of days to begin touring the facilities and keeping up with the different facility needs the district has.ŌĆØ
Coble said HollowayŌĆÖs experience will prove valuable. When Coble talks to Holloway about the SSDŌĆÖs issues, Holloway frequently replies, ŌĆ£IŌĆÖve dealt with that before,ŌĆØ Coble said.
ŌĆ£ThatŌĆÖs very positive,ŌĆØ Coble said. ŌĆ£I think thereŌĆÖs an opportunity to get started moving forward, making some strategic planning decisions.ŌĆØ
During his tenure in Bulloch County, Holloway said he placed a heavy emphasis on assessment, assessment systems and technology. He said GeorgiaŌĆÖs Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax program did much to improve the districtŌĆÖs facilities and technology infrastructure.
ŌĆ£That provided a penny sales tax for the building of facilities and technology infrastructure, so we were able to build $150 million of facilities in ... five years,ŌĆØ Holloway said. ŌĆ£(We were) providing smart boards for every classroom, laptop computers for every teacher (and) labs at all the schools. We had teachers taping their lessons on YouTube. We developed a five-year staffing plan that reduced staff to the point to where we could stay inside our budget constraints.ŌĆØ
Holloway plans to start evaluating SSD buildings this week, looking at the basic plans, age and renovation dates of each and visiting them in person to determine which improvements will take priority. He said his top priority in Starkville, as in any district, is improving the graduation rate.
ŌĆ£In my previous district, we were able to show improvements to the graduation rate every year except for last year,ŌĆØ Holloway said. ŌĆ£That was due to how they computed the graduation rate, which I think affected Starkville as well. Meeting your (Mississippi Curriculum Test) scores is going to continue to be an issue in Starkville. Those percentages to be a highly functioning school district are going up. ThatŌĆÖs going to be a struggle, but itŌĆÖs a great staff, itŌĆÖs great personalities (and) itŌĆÖs good people that are working hard.ŌĆØ
Holloway said school districts with limited resources can unlock unlimited potential if the human element is strong.
ŌĆ£I think the people here, in my interview and visits, (were) the most outstanding part,ŌĆØ Holloway said. ŌĆ£YouŌĆÖve got great personalities, youŌĆÖve got strong teachers, strong administrators. I think thatŌĆÖs the greatest resource Starkville has. IŌĆÖm just happy to, as of July, take over a strong team. (The SSD also has) great kids. We just left an art class thatŌĆÖs helping us with convocation. Those are some of the brightest kids IŌĆÖve ever been around.ŌĆØ

When my good friend drops off the face of the earth and claims to have found a better life away from the rat race and corporate hamster wheel, the 90% of my jaded side thinks that he has just dropped out and is running away. After all, we were both raised in retired military households and educated in government schools where the fact that the USA is the greatest country in the world was ingrained and nowhere else could compare. Especially Mexico. But then there was the 10% of me that realized that Rick was always bright and inquisitive and was known to travel the path less taken. That part of me trusted that he made the right decision.
We had talked over the years and he always reassured me that his life was as normal and typical as any live he would have in the US. In the next few days I would find out.
We both grew up in modest homes in rural Alabama. Visiting Ricks home reminded me a lot of that time. He and his wife Artemiza had built their home from a single room on the property into a nice home. Artemiza painted the murals in the sun room and the entry hall. The sun room was the main gathering spot in the house and had a cool old stove for cooking out there. There was a kitchen inside the house also.
Behind the home is Ricks shop. He works out of this shop doing repairs and tinkering. Beside his shop is a trailer that he got in trade from a circus traveling through town and it is filled with lapidary equipment. Rick makes his living from both of these pursuits along with erecting garages and awnings. This fits Rick well as he always loved to tinker and solve problems.
Around mid morning a truck drives by blaring music from a loudspeaker. Its a guy selling bottled water. As I see through the next couple of days, its possible to live here without ever leaving home for anything. There are delivery trucks for propane, tortillas, fruit, meat, and water that I saw. They each have different music. If that doesnt get you by, the neighborhood is scattered with little stores. There is a typical country store where they charge your food until payday, several beer stores and assorted businesses. I would soon find out that is just the tip of the economy in these little town. Just like Ricks house, this was a condensed version of our home town.
Chilaquiles for breakfast:
About midday Ricks step daughter Marlena was driving in to Guaymas for some fabric and we hop in for the ride. Ricks wife Artemiza is a seamstress and she specializes in wedding dresses and quiencenra dresses. Quiencenra is a celebration of a girls fifteenth birthday and is marked by an elaborate party where the dress is similar to a ball gown and is a prominent part of the event.
We took in the downtown and riverfront sights while Marlena shopped. Guaymas is a bustling place with government offices for the county seat and a nice walk along the water.
After returning home, things got real interesting.
An older man pulls up on a three wheeler and wants Rick to fix the steering tube that has been beaten out by decades of riding these dirt roads. With Rick interpreting I find out he is 76 years old and he rides this trike all over the place.
In a few minutes another older gentleman cruises up on a motorcycle and I find out he is 86 years old! And he is not babying his bike, he cruising at a pretty good clip down the dirt roads.
We chart for a while and these guys are out just making the rounds and enjoying life. The fellow on the trike is scopes out my bike and was smiling as he heard about my ride down. I guess he was ready to be cruising on some longer rides because he offered to trade me his house and his motorcycle for my bike. That was a little humbling.
We took a little ride down the road to see the main industry of the village, brick making.
As the afternoon approached we struck out towards San Carlos in search of free internet so I could let everyone know how I was suffering through the 100 degree heat and toughing it out on the road lol. In sharp contrast to the harsh and humble desert landscape, San Carlos is an affluent resort town, with celebrities like Danielle Steel, Willie Nelson and Jon Claude Van Damme keeping homes there.
Rick and I amble into the coffee shop at the yacht club feeling like Eddie Murphy at the country club in Beverly Hills Cop. After I update the folks at home, we take a tour of the resort. Even though I am not a resort kinda guy, I have to admit this is a beautiful place. While we are there, Rick picks up a rock from the overlook and grinds me out a arrowhead on his lapidary equipment when we get back to the house.
For supper, we all loaded up and headed to Miramar.
We dined at an outdoor seafood restaurant and this place was a feast. I had something with marlin and everybody got exotic looking dishes. The seafood was so fresh I am not sure some of the octopus arms werent still wiggling. Artemiza and her daughter teamed up against the gringos and ordered our food with extra peppers and cut up the whole time. I did have a soup called beche, which means nekkid, and I guess its the brine from cooking the sea food. It was really good.
On the ride home we took the coastal road and ended up in San Carlos. It was a beautiful drive.

Every Day Ways to Celebrate Amazing Love
Every Day Ways to Celebrate Amazing Love
Love whether it's between a couple, a parent and child or an individual and their loved one is special. Love is an amazing feeling and has no price tag or limitations. Love should be celebrated every chance that we have because it's such a special and sacred attribute of life.
In the movie Amazing Love The Story of Hosea, unconditional love is tested and displayed throughout the film. The lesson of the movie is that love will prevail and that unconditional love is the best gift that we can give someone.
Here are some ways we can show our loved ones that their love is amazing and that we thoroughly appreciate them.

More tales sent from the left side of the world | GOOD MORNING
About a dozen readers responded to my recent "Good Morning" column about the practice back in the day of some teachers trying to convert left-handed students to writing right-handed.
From Paul Markham:
"I had a math teacher who felt it was an abomination to write with the left hand. ... I was sent to the office twice by her for insubordination. ... The second time I had to take the dreaded note home to my parents. When my dad asked about it, I told him about the teacher making me try to write right-handed. He signed the note for me to return to the principal and didn't say anything else. The next day, I saw his car pull up in front of the office and my father went inside. I wondered what I did this time.
"When math class came around, my teacher and I were called to the office. The principal said if I was uncomfortable using my right hand, then I should use my left. ... Later, Dad told me they had forced him to change. He was born a lefty but was ambidextrous."
From Pearl Curry:
"My first-grade teacher was very strict, even for 1960, and was not afraid to get either a paddle or ruler out in a flash. I remember the lectures I got every day about using the 'wrong hand' to write with. She would whack my hand with a ruler every time she caught me using the forbidden left hand. ... After many whacks, my mother asked why my hand was so red, and I told her. Being a redhead with a temper to match, she went to school with me the next day. All I remember hearing was Mom saying something about using the ruler on Miss Mabel if she ever did it again. There was a boy in class who was my left-handed friend. We got married and had a right-handed son."
From Timothy Grove:
"I attended St. Simon School (later Washington, Ind., Catholic Elementary School) and had a second-grade teacher (Miss Berry) who tried to get me to switch writing hands. ... She stood at my desk and removed the pencil from my left hand and put it in my right. I would always pull it back. She eventually stopped trying to change me.
"My fifth-grade teacher, Mrs. Baker, tried to convince me that my penmanship would improve if I wrote with my right hand. ... I missed school one day and returned with a note from my mom. She has beautiful penmanship and I asked Mrs. Baker if she would like for to some day write as pretty as my mom. She said that she would. ... I informed her that Mom was left-handed and Mrs. Baker never tried to get me to switch again."

I have never seen a ceviche using catsup-interesting. This would be more of a shrimp cocktail recipe. Rick Bayless makes a shrimp cocktail ceviche using hot sauce-that is quite nice. Got to have some lime juice, chiles/heat to make a ceviche. I would add some heat to this recipe even horseradish. Peruvian Ceviche is my favourite! It is served with sweet poato and a smecial large kernel corn on the side. The Peruvian Ceviche is amazing! Shanti/Mary-Anne

as a fish fan I like ceviche , and agreeing with Mary Anne I do not think that I would add catsup to it !!! And would think of something more exotic to use The Tortilla Guy

Jetman jams with jets
Image of 4 - Use your left and right arrow keys to navigate the gallery
Article Summary
Jetman's death-defying aerial antics took another turn recently, when he teamed up with a pair of jets for some formation work. In what could easily have turned into a replay of Icarus's last adventure, Jetman (Swiss pilot Yves Rossy) strapped on his tiny wings and leaped from his rotary-wing elevator to meet up with his bigger brothers.

There's a lot of stuff for kids to do over the summer vacation, with a wide variety of results.
There is, of course, the video game route, that leads to endless hours on the couch or in front of a computer, most of the time with a drink or junk food. Not much value.
There are sleepovers and time spent with friends, outdoor activities and sports, which have much more value.
Over the past two years, my family has also found that there is a chance to be with friends, make new friends, and take skills that they are excited about developing onto the stage.
Over that time, my oldest two children have been involved with the Boquet River Theatre Festival. They have been in "Alice in Wonderland Jr." and "Beauty and the Beast Jr."
Their interest in the arts started through the Westport Youth Commission, which partners with the Depot Theatre for its apprentice program.
It was a great chance to get an early experience into the world of the theater and what it takes to put on a production.
When the kids found out about BRTF, my oldest jumped at the chance to audition.
When she went, my middle child was also asked to audition, and I can't thank them enough for it.
Over that time, he has become more comfortable in front of people and on the stage. He has learned skills in memorization and other traits of the stage that have helped him in school and in life.
Really, everyone involved has. It is amazing to watch a group of youngsters pull together to put on as professional of a show as they do.
What is even better about it is the fact that the production teams for the shows have now entered into the second generation, with former performers Alyssa Carroll and Dale Mason now serving as directors for the junior program along with choreographer Jacqueline Robertin (you know something is working when those who have come before are dedicated to make sure the program keeps going for future generations), producer Gigi Mason, BRTF President Ed Mason, Jim Carroll and others (sorry if I forgot anyone, there are a lot to be thanked).

Chienne De Guerre: A Woman Reporter Behind the Lines of the War in Chechnyaby Anne Nivat
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Two years ago, when she was thirty years old, Anne Nivat decided to see first-hand what war was all about. Russia had just launched its second brutal campaign against Chechnya. And though the Russians strictly forbade Westerners from covering the war, the aspiring French journalist decided she would go.
There are two very real dangers in Chechnya: being arrested by the Russians and being kidnapped by the Chechens. Nivat strapped her satellite phone to her belly, disguised herself in the garb of a Chechen peasant, and sneaked across the border. She found a young guide, Islam, to lead her illegally through the war zone. For six months they followed the war, travelling with underground rebels and sleeping with Chechen families or in abandoned buildings. Anne trembled through air raids; walked through abandoned killing fields; and helped in the halls of bloody hospitals. She interviewed rebel leaders, government officials, young widows, and angry fighters, and she reported everything back to France. Her reports in Libération led to antiwar demonstrations outside the Russian embassy in Paris.
Anne's words move. They are not florid, but terse, cool, dramatic. More than just a war correspondent's report, Chienne de Guerre is a moving story of struggle and self-discovery — the adventures of one young woman who repeatedly tests her own physical and psychological limits in the extremely dangerous and stressful environment of war.
"A rare testimonial...a brilliant account." Le Nouvel Observateur
"Anne Nivat managed to travel unofficially with Chechen rebels, and her writing in Libération led to antiwar protests in Paris. But few foreign reporters have been able to match that accomplishment." Owen Matthews, Brill's Content
"Six years ago when I sent Anne Nivat on a reporting trip to the Caucasus, I strictly forbade her to go to Chechnya, thinking that the risks were not worth it. Thankfully, Anne ignored my instructions, and even more thankfully, she survived. Boldly she contacted all sides, making her way through treacherous and booby-trapped terrain, building on sources, closely observing what has certainly been a bitch of a war. Her book, reminiscent of John Reed's reporting on the Balkan Wars at the turn of the last century, bears close witness to profound and tragic events in remote and dangerous places where most others feared to tread. With her deep understanding of Russia's peoples and languages, she has fully grasped and powerfully portrayed the human, as well as inhuman, aspects of a ruinous conflict that continues to torment its victims and troubles the peace of the world." Michael Kaufman, writer and former New York Times foreign correspondent
"Not just a woman of courage, but a journalist of special insight and daring, Nivat opens our eyes to a truly ugly war. Her report is exceptional, revelatory, bringing Chechnya dramatically close at hand. I'm not sure war coverage comes any better." Marvin Kalb, Executive Director of the Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard University
"The Russian government would like us all to forget that anything untoward is going on in Chechnya. Anne Nivat, on the other hand, wants us to see, smell, and feel the wanton devastation of Chechen life and property that has accompanied Russia's forlorn efforts to pacify and control this stubbornly recalcitrant province. In the best traditions of the bravest war correspondents, Nivat puts her readers on the ground in the mountainous Chechen terrain, and into the company of Chechens and Russians who conduct the mindless violence there. No one who reads this vivid, engaging book will ever forget the Chechen wars of the people who fight them." Robert G. Kaiser, author of Russia, the People and the Power and Why Gorbachev Happened
"Alone among Western reporters, Anne Nivat dared to report the real war in Chechnya, the war taking place behind rebel lines — without guards, official sponsors and handlers. Her book combines a thrilling adventure story with the hidden facts about the most genocidal of today's ethnic wars." Charles Fairbanks, Central Asia-Caucasus Institute, John Hopkins University
Book News Annotation:
Nivat disguised herself as a Chechen peasant to get into the region Russia had closed to journalists. She remained in Chechnya for six months and reported what she saw to her newspaper ration/> in Paris. This volume tells the story of the war too, but the focus is on Nivat's personal experience, her travels, the people who helped her, the risks involved, the profound suffering she witnessed, and her admiration and sympathy for the Chechen people.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
French journalist Nivat decided to see what war was all about. And though it was forbidden, she sneaked across the border and interviewed rebel leaders, government officials, and angry fighters, and reported everything back to France. More than just a war correspondent's report, this is the adventures of one young woman who repeatedly tests her own physical and psychological limits in the stressful environment of war.
When a spunky young reporter smuggles herself into Chechnya, her undercover reports spark anti-war protests in France and change her own life forever

As prices for practically everything continues to skyrocket it seems a hundred dollar bill is becoming the new penny. Its without a doubt that a $100 doesn't go as far as it used. But Nokia is making sure it can still get you on the premium item affordability list with their Nokia Asha 501 affordable smartphone. It's a sub-$100 smartphone that cuts the cost corner yet still manages to load up on relatively high end features and options.

Each will support WiFi, Bluetooth and feature a 3.2mp camera. Plus Nokia is boasting standby time of 48 days! The Asha was built giving users the choice of two main screens – Home and Fastlane. Home is icon-based and stand fair for launching apps and navigating and making calls. The Fastlane was designed with quick access to your most used content, in mind. It offers a record of how the phone was used so you can see a quick glimpse of recently accessed contacts, other recent activity. It even predicts future activity based on your most used functions and retrieved content.
The Nokia Xpress Browser is also on hand. It compresses 90% of internet data to enhance and browsing speed and responsiveness.

History of Czechoslovakia (1989–92)
Part of a series on the
|History of Czechoslovakia
Velvet Revolution[edit]
Although in March 1987 Gustáv Husák nominally committed Czechoslovakia to follow the program of perestroika, he nevertheless cautioned the party in October 1987 not to "hasten solutions too quickly" so as to "minimize the risks that could occur." (December 1, 1987)
On December 17, 1987, Husák, who was one month away from his seventieth birthday, had resigned as head of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia (KSC). He retained, however, his post of president of Czechoslovakia and his full membership on the Presidium of the KSC. Husák's resignation was caused by failing health and by increasing ambitions of the party members Miloš Jakeš, Ladislav Adamec and Vasil Biľak, which became apparent since the spring of 1987. Miloš Jakeš, who replaced Husák as first secretary of the KSC, was sixty-five years of age at the time of his assumption of the most powerful post in the country. Other than the age difference and the fact that Jakeš is a Czech whereas Husák is a Slovak, there was little to distinguish the new leader from his predecessor. In his first pronouncements as the head of the KSC, Jakes assured the KSC's Central Committee that he would continue the cautious and moderate path of reform set forth by Husák. He called for a large-scale introduction of new technology as the means to "fundamentally increase the efficiency of the Czechoslovak economy." But he also warned that there would be no "retreat from the fundamental principles of socialism," adding that the party had learned well the "lesson from 1968-69 and know[s] where such a retreat leads." At the same time, Jakeš acknowledged Soviet pressure for reform by pledging to pursue economic restructuring, stating that "just as Soviet Communists, we too must observe the principle that more democracy means more socialism."
The Czechoslovak version of perestroika, which had slowly taken shape during the last months of Husák's rule under the guidance of the reformist and pro-Mikhail Gorbachev Czechoslovak leader Premier Lubomir Strougal, called for a modest decentralization of state economic administration but postponed any concrete action until the end of the decade. The slow pace of the Czechoslovak reform movement was an irritant to the Soviet leadership. Economically, however, it was surely partly because on the one hand there were no serious economic problems at the standard-of-living level in Czechoslovakia as opposed to e.g. Poland, the Soviet Union and Hungary, and on the other hand the catastrophic initial effects of the reforms in the Soviet Union and Hungary could already be seen in the late 1980s. A corroboration of this might be the fact that Gustáv Husák, before his resignation in 1989 (see Velvet Revolution), told to the newly appointed anti-Communist government they can expect very difficult years to come. The dissatisfaction of many ordinary Czechs and Slovaks was increasing, due to the rigid political situation, lack of freedom, but mainly because they could see on foreign TV channels in some regions (West German in frontier Bohemia, Austrian in southwestern Slovakia (including the capital Bratislava)), and in the late 1980s in all regions due to a gradual spread of videorecorders, the way of living in Western Europe and in the USA.
In December 1987, some 500,000 Catholics of Czechoslovakia signed a petition for religious freedom. It was the biggest petition of the opposition forces in central Europe.
The first anti-Communist demonstration took place on March 25, 1988 – the Candle demonstration. An unauthorized peaceful gathering of some 2,000 (other sources 10,000) Catholics in the Slovak capital Bratislava, organized by the Slovak Catholic dissent and demanding religious freedom and civic rights, was violently dispersed by the police force. Some 100 participants were arrested. Leading Communist functionaries (e.g., the Slovak prime minister, minister of the interior, minister of culture) were observing the whole operation from the windows of a nearby hotel (Carlton).
Demonstrations also occurred on October 28, 1988 (the anniversary of the establishment of Czechoslovakia in 1918) in Prague, Bratislava and some other towns. Interestingly, the establishment of the "capitalist" Czechoslovakia on October 28 only became a public holiday in September 1988 in the Communist Czechoslovakia. Further demonstrations followed in January 1989 (death of Jan Palach on January 16, 1969), on August 21, 1989 (Soviet intervention in 1968), and on October 28, 1989 (see above).
The Revolution[edit]
The anti-Communist revolution started on November 16, 1989, in Bratislava, with a demonstration of Slovak university students for democracy, and continued with the well-known similar demonstration of Czech students in Prague on November 17.
Following the Velvet Revolution[edit]
Following the Velvet revolution, Czechoslovakia's parliament (the Federal Assembly) on November 25, 1992, voted to split the country into the Czech Republic and Slovakia starting on January 1, 1993.

In December, when the prologue from The Dark Knight Rises premiered before the IMAX version of Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, the buzz surrounding the scene was less concerned with the impressive stunt work and more concerned with the unintelligible nature of Tom Hardy's Bane voice.
At the time, unnamed sources swore up and down that Christopher Nolan would not alter the voice for the final cut, saying that the director "doesn't dumb things down" for audiences. Well, if indeed 'clarifying dialogue' is a means of 'dumbing things down,' it's obvious from the above video that that's exactly what Nolan did.
I think it's also fair to say that merely clarifying the dialogue didn't compromise the integrity of Nolan's artistic vision. Unless there's a meaningful point being made by making the dialogue incomprehensible – a la Brad Pitt's Pikey character from Snatch – it's easy enough to indicate that Bane is talking through a mask without baffling ticket buyers in the process. After all, if the characters in the film have no trouble understanding Bane, why should we?
Then again, it could've been a hilarious and entertaining turn of events if none of the characters in the film understood what he was saying either.
Tom Hardy's Bane-esque 'Star Trek' Screen Test
Meanwhile, the Internet has unearthed a ten-year-old Tom Hardy screen test from Star Trek: Nemesis that features an accent similar to the one he used for Bane.
In Nemesis, Hardy played the villainous Shinzon, a clone of Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) who (SPOILER ALERT) died precisely the same way that Lurtz did at the end of The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring.
Check out the screen test below:
While the voice is obviously not quite as over the top as Bane's, there are moments when the Bane vibe shines through. It's worth noting that Hardy toned it down for the final cut of Nemesis – or perhaps we should say he 'dumbed it down' – a film so unsuccessful (both critically and financially) that it gave way to J.J. Abrams' Star Trek reboot.
Are you glad that Christopher Nolan altered Bane's voice for the final cut of The Dark Knight Rises? Drop us a line in the comments.
The Dark Knight Rises is in theaters everywhere.

Alison Karley
Since 2004, I have been a researcher in Agroecology at the James Hutton Institute. After reading Natural Sciences at Cambridge, I studied for a D Phil in plant membrane nutrient transport at the University of York and IACR-Rothamsted. Subsequently, I have applied my training in plant nutrient physiology to study plant-insect interactions at scales of the organism and system. Postdoctoral research at the University of York on the nutritional physiology of aphids led to my current post.
Current research interests
The traits that allow plants and insects to perform optimally under environmental constraints intrigue me and form the focus of my research in plant nitrogen physiology and the interactions between plants, insect herbivores and their natural enemies.
Optimising plant traits
Identifying the traits that allow arable plants to perform optimally in reduced input conditions has been a key feature of my recent research. Through research funded by RESAS under Sustainable Crop Systems, I have worked with colleagues (Tracy Valentine, Geoff Squire) to identify barley root traits contributing to nitrogen uptake efficiency. We are now applying a similar approach to identify wheat root ideotypes for reduced input agriculture in a LINK project. I also collaborate with Pete Iannetta and Gavin Ramsay on a new Technology Strategy Board project, evaluating the nutritional value of faba beans for fish and animal feed, which has opened up a novel research area for the institute.
Plants, insect herbivores and natural enemies
Using aphids as a model, I focus on the impact of plant nitrogen quality, particularly tissue amino acid composition, on insect herbivore performance. In addition, I collaborate with colleagues to examine factors that indirectly influence the plant-insect herbivore interaction, for example through changes in soil microbial community (with Alison Bennett, James Hutton Institute). In collaboration with Julie Graham and Rex Brennan, we are identifying soft fruit plant traits that contribute to pathogen and insect pest resistance through a Technology Strategy Board project.
This research complements the work of my research students, to examine trophic interactions between insect herbivores, their microbial endosymbionts and natural enemies. I collaborate with Steve Hubbard (University of St Andrews) and Mark Chaplain (University of Dundee) to use both experimental and mathematical modelling approaches to explore the impact of microbial endosymbionts on insect population dynamics. I also work with Scott Johnson (University of Western Sydney) and Sue Hartley (University of York) to understand the effect of plant drought stress on insect herbivores and their natural enemies.

Wulfstan of Hedeby
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses, see Wulfstan (disambiguation).
Wulfstan of Hedeby (Latin Haithabu) was a late ninth century traveller and trader. His travel accounts, as well as those of another trader, Ohthere, were included in Alfred the Great's translation of Orosius' Histories. It is unclear if Wulfstan was English or indeed if he was from Hedeby, in today's northern Germany near the city of Schleswig.
According to this account,[clarification needed] Wulfstan undertook a journey by sea from Hedeby to the trading centre of Truso around the year 880. He names the lands the coasts he passes.
- "Wulfstan said that he went from Haethum to Truso in seven days and nights, and that the ship was running under sail all the way. Weonodland was on his right, and Langland, Laeland, Falster, and Sconey, on his left, all which land is subject to Denmark. "Then on our left we had the land of the Burgundians, who have a king to themselves. Then, after the land of the Burgundians, we had on our left the lands that have been called from the earliest times Blekingey, and Meore, and Eowland, and Gotland, all which territory is subject to the Sweons; and Weonodland (= the land of the Wends) was all the way on our right, as far as Weissel-mouth."
This may be the earliest recorded use of the word "Denmark" (or "Danemearcan").
