The August 'Pets at Play' Final 50
A little curveball today, folks: Barry Chin was unable to judge the contest after all, but we were lucky to get another Globe photo veteran: David L. Ryan, well-known around here for his daredevil willingness to take photos from any heights, anywhere, anytime.
You can see his fascination with heights in some of the photos in his portfolio here.
Even after many years taking all sorts of photos under all sorts of circumstances, David hasn't lost one iota of enthusiasm for the business.
"I loved them all!" he said of your photos after judging them.
Some of the photos weren't action shots; they were lovely portraits, but not quite right for this theme. David had a few other thoughts that might help you:
"The biggest thing I saw from reviewing all of the photos was that I think many of the photographers needed help with cropping," he said. "Focus in a little tighter on the action, get rid of extraneous elements in the background that don't enhance the photo -- aim for a more compelling composition."
He got a kick out of all the dogs who were either going in to, coming out of, jumping into, or swimming in water, and all the dogs with balls in their mouths. "That's a dog, right?" he said. He also lamented that there weren't more cat action shots: "Where are all the cat people?" he said.
He had two more pieces of advice: "Photographing animals is like photographing kids: You should leave them alone, but stick with it - sit and watch like you would with kids, and they'll do something that could make a great photo. You have to have patience (although I have none!)."
He also suggested using faster shutter speeds to capture action. "A lot of people worry about getting a good depth of field in a picture, whereas we as photojournalists rely at lot more on shutter speed. That's what will get your subject sharp. People want to get everything in the frame sharp, so they use a wide focus field, but that forces a slower shutter speed. But forget about making the foreground and background sharp unless it's integral to the photo.
"If an animal or a child does something fast but your photo comes out blurry because of a too-slow shutter speed, that's a shame. You don't want to miss those shots."
Here, then, are David's choices for the Final 50 Pets at Play photos.
We'll post his Top 10 finishers on Monday morning.

Zen Laughs
Don't let the unfunny introduction to "Haikus for Jews" (Harmony Books, $11) fool you. The rest of this little book is pretty hilarious. All we know about New York-based writer David M. Bader is that, according to his bio, he is "not even distantly related to Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, though he insists on referring to her as 'Aunt Ruth.'"
Each haiku is a well-metered, 5-7-5 syllable bastardization of that ancient, less-is-more Japanese art form, and most hit home. Like this:
Hey! Get back indoors!
&'009;Whatever you were doing
&'009;&'009;could put an eye out.
Or this:
Today I am a
&'009;man. Tomorrow I return
&'009;&'009;to the seventh grade.
All we can say is:
You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll
&'009;ask why such a small book costs
&'009;&'009;eleven dollars.
We welcome your feedback.

New York State Legislators Ken LaValle and Fred W. Thiele, Jr. reported last week that the New York State Legislature has passed a law they sponsored that exempts farm wineries and craft breweries from what they called a burdensome tax filing requirement, opening the door for more wineries and breweries to set up shop in New York.
Under current state law, all beer, wine and liquor wholesalers are required to report sales made to restaurants, bars and other retailers to the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance. Farm wineries and craft breweries were included. The new legislation, which the Governor made part of his 2012 legislative program, would exempt farm wineries as well as craft breweries from this costly and burdensome paperwork requirement.
A farm winery license limits the holder to producing no more than 150,000 gallons annually. A farm distillery license limits the holder to producing no more than 35,000 gallons annually.
According to Thiele, because of the restricted size of these producers it is difficult for them to absorb the cost of this kind of requirement. Farm wineries and craft breweries will still be required to maintain sales records pursuant to the State Liquor Authority's requirements, he added.
"Farm wineries and craft breweries are small and mostly family operations that have struggled to comply with this needless filing requirement," said Thiele. "The burden and cost on business far outweighs any benefit to the state. There are other ways that the State Tax Department can obtain this information. In particular, this legislation will benefit the farm winery operations on the East End. Our wineries can better use their time to grow their businesses and promote their product rather than filling out costly paperwork."
The legislation was supported by the Long Island Farm Bureau and will now go to the governor for signature.

Sad day for Orioles' fans
Posted on 11 Feb 2010 by Ron Burr.
Already buried under 4+ feet of snow, the Orioles get more bad news… I just looked out my window and cursed Punxsutawney Phil for seeing his shadow and cursing Baltimore and the surrounding areas to Hoth-like conditions. Pitchers and catchers report in 6 short days. Eventually everyone in the city will be complaining about the heat and humidity, not realizing the irony of them getting ...

Fate turning the tables?

15 years ago this team was the darling of this city's eye and a model franchise. Then it happened… So it was 1995, and the Baltimore Orioles were moving up in the world. That offseason they lured Pat Gillick out of retirement to be the GM of his hometown team, then got a guy who had won a World Series as both a player and as a coach in Davey Johnson to take over running the club o...

2 Schools of Thought
Posted on 1 Sep 2009 by Ron Burr.
Are The Orioles doing the right thing in shutting down Matusz and Tillman? Or is another team making a terrible mistake? So it has come down the pipe that the Orioles are goign to shut down Brian Matusz and Chris Tillman after 2 or 3 more starts, and that Brad Bergesen will not be returning at all this year ( information on that courtesy of the Baltimore Sun ). At first read, it sounds like ...

Making the tough moves
Posted on 20 Aug 2009 by Ron Burr.
As we grind out the remainder of a lost season, the team continues to make the right moves, believe it or not. The Orioles are something along the lines of 8-24 since the All Star Break. The pitching staff (with an average age of 17 the last time I checked. They are the only staff not allowed to drive themselves home after a night game due to state law) has given up more "taters̶...

Looking at the rest of the season with blinders on
Posted on 17 Aug 2009 by Ron Burr.
I am hoping against hope that the team will not suffer another historic collapse, but in the meantime I will keep looking at the future. For 12 innings, the Orioles looked pretty good. Unfortunately, yesterday's game went 13 innings. You don't usually see an extra inning 9 run loss, so at least the Orioles are still noteworthy, even if it is for all the wrong reasons. But the thing...

THANK GOD FOR KEVIN YOUKILIS AND THE BOSTON RED SOX! So the Orioles won last night (even though they went 1 for 7 with runners in scoring position). That's good.

The future is getting brighter.

"Now the president is going to go to Copenhagen when we've got serious issues here at home that need to be debated," House Minority Leader John Boehner told reporters Wednesday. "I think it's a great idea to promote Chicago, but he's the president of the United States, not the mayor of Chicago."
But White House officials say the trip isn't taking away from the president's responsibilities.
"In fact, I think it's consistent with his philosophy of diplomacy, of reaching out, of inviting over 200 countries to come to our shores, in the heart of country, the Midwest, in Chicago," Jarrett said. "That's completely consistent with President Obama's agenda, making America inclusive and open and so the short time he'll be here, we believe is time well spent."
The president will be on the ground for merely three hours, long enough to headline the final presentation and make the final pitch to undecided IOC members, like Ung Chang, who has been an IOC member for the last 13 years.
When asked what can convince him of his vote, Chang replied, "Last presentation, that's important."
The first lady likened IOC voters to the Iowa caucus goers who gave her husband his first campaign win in 2008.
"Barack and I have looked at this -- this is like a campaign. Just like Iowa," she said. "The international community may not understand that, but Iowa is like a caucus, and you can't take any vote for granted. Nobody makes the decision until they're sitting there."
Michelle Obama is in Copenhagen for three days and in addition to sports stars and Winfrey, she is joined by a team of Chicago officials, including Mayor Richard Daley.
"This is a very tough campaign. These are very competitive cities," Daley said. "Tokyo, Rio, Madrid -- they're fantastic cities."
The delegations of Chicago's rivals are pulling out all the stops to boost their own chances. Brazil's president, Lula da Silva, brought international soccer star Pele to woo the Olympic committee voters. The royal families from Japan and Spain will make their bids in person as well.
Most of the campaigning in Copenhagen is happening behind the scenes. Michelle Obama is meeting one-on-one with the more-than-100 members of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). The first lady, President Obama and Vice President Biden all have been working the phones pushing Chicago's bid.
The IOC panel is accustomed to being smooched by European royalty, and they are now being wooed by royalty from the U.S. sports world, including basketball's "Dream Team " star David Robinson and gold medal gymnast Nadia Comaneci.
Many of the IOC members are global power players themselves, and the prospect of meeting President Obama on Friday leaves some of them unfazed.
Chang told ABC News he's accustomed to seeing presidents and heads of state at these events, and so he's "not much excited" at the prospect of meeting President Obama.
Asked who might win, Chang shook his head and laughed.
"I don't know, God knows!" he said.

Originally written on Fox Sports Midwest | Last updated 3/22/13
KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) -- Rick Ankiel had a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the eighth inning to lead the Houston Astros to a 3-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday. Ankiel pinch-hit for Brandon Barnes after Tyler Greene and Jose Altuve had opened the inning with singles off Edward Mujica. Altuve had two of Houston's six hits and scored two runs. Bud Norris, scheduled to be Houston's starter the season opener on March 31, gave up three hits and three walks and struck out four in six scoreless innings. Joe Valdez pitched the eighth to pick up the win for the Astros. St. Louis starter Jaime Garcia also pitched six innings, giving up two runs on four hits while striking out five.

I was at DLR on the 15th, and while on Alice In Wonderland I saw that they were running the bobsleds through the ride. I thought I read somewhere that they were going to be putting new bobsleds with a different design on, yet they looked the same to me.
Does anybody know what exactly they are doing and when Matterhorn is scheduled to reopen?

It's gonna be a game time decision for me. It depends on how much Sprint will give me in upgrade dollars (new customer in June specifically for the EVO). It also depends on what other retailers are selling it for, including Sprint online. Furthermore, I would consider adding a line to my family plan just for the new phone, then pulling a switcheroo and cancelling it if the ETF is low enough (in other words, if phone + ETF is less than full retail, then why not?).
Either way, I won't sell my EVO 4G. Why sell that when it can be a great backup phone in case the EVO 3D gets bricked, lost, pissed on, etc?
Edit: And I will probably wait until the EVO 3D is well rooted.
I don't have anything at all to base this on, but I would hope 550 would be enough for this phone at full price. It may end up being 600.. but again, I don't know.
The real issue may be finding one. Nobody would sell me an EVO straight out. I tried Sprint, Best Buy, Radio Shack.. a few places online. They all were new account/upgrade only. I had ot get one off ebay.

3 Days in Miami
Guide to Miami Outdoors
Best of Miami from a native
Did 2 days of diving with Grove Scuba - one day to Army Tanks and one day to Rainbow Reef. Hired a private guide both days and was coming off a cold so had some ear issues. Both guides were great - Jeff and Kai were both a pleasure to dive with. The diving itself may not be what you...
I highly recommend this Dive shop for all your recreational diving needs . I decided to do my Rescue Diver certification with Grove Scuba, based on the reviews I read on tripadvisor. I was not disappointed with Instructors, whom genuinely care and guide you through the whole process of getting certified. Matthew and Sadie Gosselin were my instructors and I...
After severe morning rain/thunder storms in Miami, weather did clear up to have a gorgeous sunny day. However, water not great to get to the wreck we were supposed to go to for 30/40 foot depth. Ended up at two reef sites within few hundred yards to each other. I'm sure there are lots of great dive sites in the...
Very rude when it comes to customer service, dive master didn't even show up on charter. Canceled trip prematurely due to weather, I went and found another shop a minute later who was doing the same charter. Never going back to grove scuba! Stay away!
Grove Scuba is certainly sorry that you had a bad experience in booking your dive with us. We are sorry that your dive was cancelled due to the weather, but unfortunately the weather is unpredictable. We take our customers comfort and safety as our highest priority. While other companies might be willing to go out in poor weather, we do...
I'm an inexperienced diver. I did a two tank dive To neptune reef and rainbow reef... Neptune was amazing! They were friendly but it was cloudy and rainy and maybe they should have rescheduled. So make sure it's sunny.
I came to grove scuba only intending to complete my Rescue Diver and Dive master certifications, but after i had completed said courses, i felt like part of the team in no time at all, thanks to the incredibly friendly and helpful staff. I had enjoyed myself so much and felt like i had become part of the Grove Scuba...
The dive trip was amazing. The whole crew was extremely nice. I have been on dive boats before and all I can say is this one is the best, and if your into spearfishing this is defiantly the boat to go on.
I'm an independent PADI instructor and purchase materials through Grove Scuba. I called Thursday and got the material this morning. I couldn't find an invoice and was about to call when I noticed an email from Sadie, who had emailed me the invoice. As usual, she's a step ahead of me, and I greatly appreciate it.
I was visiting Miami in mid-February for a conference, and wanted to get in a few days of diving afterwards. I contacted (via email) several of the dive shops in the Miami area prior to my trip. Grove Scuba was the most responsive, and was able to help me put together a plan to achieve my diving objectives.
Sadie &...
I am new to diving and the area, I called the dive center and Jose answered. We spoke for a while about all the in's and out's of diving and photography. He wasn't trying to "upsell" me he just had fun talking about diving.
He set me up on a dive and I'm back in the water!

London 2012: Usain Bolt fitness confirmed by Jamaica team doctor
Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake are both "fit and raring to go" at the Olympics, says Jamaica track team doctor Winston Dawes.
He has shrugged off suggestions Bolt will miss the Games with injury and promised "something fantastic" from the sprint pair.
Reigning 100m and 200m champion Bolt is understood to have been suffering with niggling leg and back problems.
But Dawes said: "Both of them are at the top of their game."
He told BBC Sport's Leon Mann: "If the conditions are ideal, then we are going to see something fantastic. We may see records go."
Bolt holds the 100m record of 9.58secs and 200m world best of 19.19 but Blake beat him at the Jamaican trials in both distances less than four weeks ago.
Closing the gap - season bests for Bolt & Blake at 100m & 200m
- 2008: Bolt (9.69 seconds and 19.30 seconds) Blake (10.27 and 21.06)
- 2009: Bolt (9.58/19.19) Blake (9.93/20.60)
- 2010: Bolt (9.82/19.56) Blake (9.89/19.78)
- 2011: Bolt (9.76/19.40) Blake (9.82/19.26)
- 2012: Bolt (9.76/19.83) Blake (9.75/19.80)
Bolt, who suffers from scoliosis, a condition in which the spine is curved from side to side, will be in full health when the 100m preliminaries commence on 4 August.
"He's back fully," said the doctor. "He has been training very, very hard and his performance is on track. We expect he'll be fully fit by the time the Olympics come around.
"He had some slight cramps [in his legs]. He had had an accident before, so that might have shaken him up a little."
Bolt and Blake will be up against compatriot and former world record holder Asafa Powell along with American pair Tyson Gay and Justin Gatlin in the showpiece 100m event.
But Dawes is confident that friends and training partners Bolt and Blake will produce something special.
"They are 100% fit and 100% raring to go. They are mentally fit and they are going to be going all out."

Pizza oven wood to burn in NZ
I am in new Zealand and was wondering what NOT to burn in the oven as firewood. is Norfolk pine ok , is plane tree wood ok , what about starting the fire with pinecones.
Is blue gum tree ok
Re: Pizza oven wood to burn in NZ
Hey Jo9t - Just my 20c worth but I use pine cones to get things started when they are around and if you use fragrant combustables to start then by the time you get it up to temp they are long gone. Most pine woods have a lot of resin and I am not sure that I would like my food to taste like that.
You would be safer with hardwoods, well dried eucalypt is fine so the blue gum would be good provided it is dry. I know nothing about plane tree wood. The internet may hold the answer.
Re: Pizza oven wood to burn in NZ
One thing that's is world wide is shipping pallets. Made of solid oak, great for fires, and might be able to get free?
Re: Pizza oven wood to burn in NZ
G'day Bubb
This discussion has come up before. It must be great to have a supply of untreated pallet wood and a hardwood to boot .
In Australia however a lot of the reusable pallets both hardwood and softwood are treated. The termites here are pretty fast at eating an untreated pallet especially something on the ground like a brick pallet.
In Australia unless you can prove its untreated you just can't take the chance.
But in saying that I have had softwood pallets that have had imported white goods ( kitchen fridges etc) and the codes on the surface of the wood indicate that they are steam treated to kill the bugs. Easy enough to goggle. Seems lots of countries are insisting on steam treated wood in imported pallets so they can be disposed of safely.
Regards dave
Re: Pizza oven wood to burn in NZ
I use pallet wood quite a bit. I have not cooked w/it, just for general fires. I can get an unlimited supply of it and will still use it when I get my oven done. I probably will not cook w/it, but will use it to get my oven heated up. I have a very good supply of regular hardwood firewood and just use the pallet wood for kindling and starter wood and to basically stretch out my supply of the "good stuff". I pick through the pallets and never take any that appear to have any paint, grease or other visible contaminates on them (very few do) and never take them unless they are nice oak. I mainly use just the thin slats and discard the rest (nails and all) for occasional bonfires.
Re: Pizza oven wood to burn in NZ
I've used pine in my oven for most of the fire but have always used a few sticks of hardwood once the final temperature is nearly reached. The open flames when cooking are coming from the hardwood. I don't believe much (any?) of the pine resin/sap remains once the oven is at full temp.
Having said that, Norfolk Pine is wonderful wood to use on a lathe for wood turning, can't imagine burning up a piece of that here in West Virginia, lol!
Re: Pizza oven wood to burn in NZ
Yellow pine is hard used for rafters in houses.
Might be a good choice for alittle more coals
Than the softer pines.
Re: Pizza oven wood to burn in NZ
The downside with using resinous wood is the sap pops embers onto the hearth or your food. I use it for fast starting the fire and/or heat up only...when I use it at all. Then it's strictly dry hardwood.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Loulla-Mae Eleftheriou-Smith, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Monday, 29 October 2012 01:15PM
Cowen fills East Coast's top marketing position of head of marketing, which has been vacant since Rob Payne left earlier this year.
East Coast Main Line is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Directly Operated Railways (DOR), which comes under the remit of Patrick McLoughlin, the secretary of state for transport.
Cowen held the role of head of brand and communications at First Direct from 2010.
The internet-based banking brand said Lisa Wood, its head of marketing, would oversee Cowen's duties while a permanent replacement was sought.
While at First Direct, Cowen led the development of digital marketing and the overhaul of First Direct's website, in a bid to increase the brand's online dialogue with consumers.
In September last year, First Direct's former head of marketing Mark Mullen returned to the bank to become its chief executive.Follow @loullamae_es

Hi there, my name is Daniel (AKA Raton), first sorry for my bad english :). I am member of "The brothers of Kain" and we are making the game Black Days, using the engine Dark Places. At this moment we are 1 programmer (and moddeler), 2 writers, 1 musician and me (graphics, models and maps)... yes a lot of work for one guy, so we are looking for mappers and moddeler, please take a look at the pictures and if you like join us. I am from Uruguay a little country in south america, maybe it sounds you of the soccer world cup :) Also I am guitarist of a metal band called Deep Dream, you can listen our music at www.deepdream.tk or www.myspace.com/deepdarkdream Thanks for visiting this page.
No blog entries have been posted here. Boring yes, but as confucius says - if you have nothing good to say, why say anything at all? Check back later, perhaps something exciting will pop-up and be worth blogging about, like season 3 of the teletubbies.
Speak your mind, rant about games, mods and the development scene, it's simple and who knows maybe someone will read it and agree. It will feel right!

Oil Kills Everything It Covers: The Santa Barbara Spill and Continued Destructive Drilling
On May 19th, it was announced over breaking news that an onshore oil pipeline, owned by Plains All American Pipeline, a Houston Texas company led by ex-Flint Resources (Koch Industries) ruptured at Refugio Beach, north of Santa Barbara. An estimated 105,000 gallons of crude oil gushed into the Pacific Ocean, five times worse than the initial estimated 21,000 gallons.
I live three hours away from Refugio Beach. This quiet, isolated shoreline is a favorite beach for campers, hikers and surfers. When I was earning my undergraduate degree at UC Santa Barbara, I used to walk the trails and watch whales, shorebirds and sea otters bop in and out of the turquoise waters; tiny crabs would scuttle in between the black rocks and tide pools. Our California beaches are bristling with wildlife, including rare endangered species. The central coast is a habitat for seals, sea lions and whales, a variety of fish, which are migrating north this time of the year.
Oil kills every living thing it covers. Imagine being drenched from head to toe with thick, gooey tar: Toxic suffocation is an extremely painful way to die. That's what happens to dolphins, whales, pelicans, otters that, unbeknownst to them, swim into the devil's poison.
The national networks neglected to say that Plains transports oil for Exxon-Mobil. According to Miyoko Sakashita of BiologicialDiversity.org, the Houston-based company has had "175 devastating oil spills nationwide since 2006, including 11 in California," documented by federal authorities.
Record Dolphin Die-Off Linked to Gulf Oil Spill
Deepwater Horizon offshore oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico blew out, spewing an unknown amount of oil. The April 2010 accident was the worst oil spill to ever occur in U.S. waters and it had far-reaching impacts on the region's economy and ecosystems that continue to this day.It was more than five years ago when the
Now a newly released study, funded by the Deepwater Horizon National Resource Damage Assessment, which includes the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, BP (the oil company responsible for the spill and others) details the disastrous impact for the spill on the health and mortality of dolphins in the Gulf.
The study, with the very scientific name of Adrenal Gland and Lung Lesions in Gulf of Mexico Common Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) Found Dead following the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill, analyzes what it calls "an unusual mortality event (UME)" among dolphins off the coast of Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi between February 2010 and 2014. More than 1,300 dolphins are estimated to have died.
"The Deepwater Horizon oil spill was proposed as a contributing cause of adrenal disease, lung disease and poor health in live dolphins examined during 2011 in Barataria Bay, Louisiana," said the study. It also analyzed dead dolphin carcasses stranded in the three states between June 2010 and December 2012 and compared the analyses to dead, stranded dolphins found outside the area or prior to the oil spill to come to the conclusion that the die-off was unprecedented and the result of an adrenal gland condition never previously seen in dolphins in the region that made them susceptible to pneumonia.
Department of Justice Again Allows Megabanks to Continue Business as Usual
One of the key strategies of power that perpetuates economic and social injustice is the numbing of all opposition by sanctioning the status quo. This is the technique the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) wield in allowing mega-banks to continue to engage in illegal, deceptive and exploitative practices.
BuzzFlash isn't funded by corporate advertising, but by readers like you. Can you help sustain our work with a tax-deductible donation.
There are few subjects that BuzzFlash has covered more than the charade of the DOJ and SEC appearing to punish the big banks, while actually leaving them free to continue their systemic practice of dominating the financial industry - not infrequently through financial practices that are not only unethical and immoral, but also happen to violate the law and banking regulations.
Therefore, we are not surprised that the DOJ recently reached another sham settlement with megabanks over illegal activity, collusion to violate banking regulations and fraud. A May 20 article by The Wall Street Journal - the voice of the US and international financial industry - reports on the five banks involved with the settlement:
Five global banks agreed to pay more than $5 billion in combined penalties and plead guilty to criminal charges to resolve a long-running U.S. investigation into whether traders colluded to move foreign-currency rates for their own financial benefit.
The settlements largely close the book on the latest industrywide investigation, one of a steady stream of probes into mortgage misdeeds, manipulative trading behavior and tax evasion. The biggest global banks have paid more than $60 billion in penalties over the past two years to resolve allegations of wrongdoing.
Most of these fines are tax-deductible, and many of them amount to less than the profits that the banks made from their law-breaking behavior.
North Carolina Judge Says "No" to Fracking
Article reprinted with permission from EcoWatch.
A judge in North Carolina has blocked the start of fracking in that state over a challenge to the membership of the commission charged with issuing the permits.
"Finally some good news in our long battle to keep fracking out of NC!" exulted North Carolina environmental nonprofit Haw River Assembly, one of the parties to the lawsuit, on its Facebook page.
The Southern Environmental Law Center(SELC) was granted the preliminary injunction it sought in Wake County Superior Court to delay the state's Energy and Mining Commission from taking any action on permits, effectively reinstating (for the time being) the state's longtime moratorium on fracking which was lifted by the legislature last summer. The group was representing the Haw River Assembly, a member of the Waterkeeper Alliance network, and landowner Keely Wood Puricz, whose property abuts a tract leased for natural gas exploration.
"The citizens of North Carolina deserve to have a lawful, accountable and representative agency to put in place strong protections that safeguard our communities and water supplies from the risks and harms of fracking," said Elaine Chiosso, executive director of the Haw River Assembly. The group has members who live directly above shale deposits that could be targeted for fracking.
We Should Have Zero Tolerance for Zero Tolerance in Our Schools
"As I walked down the hall, one of the police officers employed in the school noticed I did not have my identification badge with me."
The speaker is testifying before the President's Task Force on 21st Century Policing. He was a high school freshman at the time. Ah, school days!
"Before I could explain why I did not have my badge," he went on, "I was escorted to the office and suspended for an entire week. I had to leave the school premises immediately."
It gets better.
"Walking to the bus stop, a different police officer pulled me over and demanded to know why I was not in school. As I tried to explain, I was thrown into the back of the police car. They drove back to my school to see if I was telling the truth, and I was left waiting in the car for over two hours. When they came back, they told me I was in fact suspended, but because the school did not provide me with the proper forms, my guardian and I both had to pay tickets for me being off of school property. The tickets together were $600, and I had a court date for each one."
Dear Mr. President, the American judicial system, especially as it is applied to low-income neighborhoods, was designed by Franz Kafka. Here it is, the insane truth of its bureaucratic pointlessness, sitting in the public record: "I was at home alone watching Jerry Springer, doing nothing," the witness concluded his testimony, describing the ultimate effect of his banishment from school.
Wyoming Could Jail You for Taking a Photo That Shows Health Hazards of Ranching
If you take your camera to Wyoming, be careful about the photos you take and with whom you share them. Why? Because if you reveal health hazards or pollution in the natural environment that could lead to enforcement efforts to ensure public health, you could go to jail for up to a year.
According to a May 11 article in Slate,
Why the desire for ignorance rather than informed discussion? The reason is pure politics. The source of E. coli is clear. It comes from cows spending too much time in and next to streams. Acknowledging that fact could result in rules requiring ranchers who graze their cows on public lands to better manage their herds. The ranching community in Wyoming wields considerable political power and has no interest in such obligations, so the state is trying to stop the flow of information rather than forthrightly address the problem.
In other words, the Wyoming ranchers don't want to be stopped from creating dangerous health hazards and environmental pollution because it would cost them money. So what's the solution proffered by the western state whose slogan used to be, "Wyoming Is What America Was"? Jail the messenger.
This encroachment on first amendment rights in order to protect profits (over public health and the environment) has a precedent. The cruel factory animal processing industry has been, over the past years, incrementally enacting laws that make the exposure of its pitiless and often health-threatening practices a crime.
Bill Nye: Climate Change Is the "Most Serious Environmental Crisis in Human History"
climate change for a long time. Last month, he sat down with President Obama in the Everglades on Earth Day to talk climate and call out the "climate denier club" in Congress. In his address to the next generation, he wastes no time delving right into environmental issues.Bill Nye gave the commencement speech over the weekend at Rutgers University and it's just as inspiring as you'd imagine. Nye has been an outspoken advocate for immediate action on
Here are some snippets from his speech:
"We are now deep in the most serious environmental crisis in human history. I believe you all can avoid this disaster."
"The oncoming trouble is climate change. It is going to affect you all in the same way the Second World War consumed people of my parents' generation. They rose to the challenge, and so will you. They came to be called the greatest generation. I want you all to preserve our world in the face of climate change and carry on as the next great generation."
Ten Reasons Why the US Is Now a "Regime"
We are constantly seeing and hearing our American media use the word "Regime" these days. So exactly what is a "Regime?" Apparently it is whatever you want it to be.
Whenever Wall Street and/or War Street want to vilify a country that disagrees with their policies of occupation and exploitation, they always begin their vilification program by calling that country's form of government a "Regime."
Here are some examples: Syria is a "Regime" -- even though it has a constitution, holds elections and almost all Syrians support its president, Bashar Assad. Gaddafi in Libya also operated a "Regime" -- even though his government offered the kind of free education and healthcare benefits to its citizens that most Americans can only dream about. Cuba was (and still is) considered a "Regime" in the eyes of Wall Street and War Street. Putin also runs a "Regime" -- even though most Russians today support him totally.
In reverse, Saudi Arabia is not a "Regime" -- even though the House of Saud uses torture, suppresses decent, beheads people, treats women badly, brutally invades other countries and supports Al Qaeda and ISIS.
The House of Saud has spent over a trillion $$$$ of its enormous petro-dollar wealth over the last half-century on killing people and being despotic. Just imagine what the Middle East would look like right now if the Saudis had chosen butter instead of guns. What a waste. And yet Saudi Arabia is still not considered to be a "Regime" by American media.
Social Justice Begins at the Grassroots, Not With Coverage of the 2016 Presidential Campaign
Expecting that the formulaic horserace process of elections will lead to dramatic social and economic change is a bit like going to a movie about revolution and expecting to walk into a transformed world when you leave the theater.
That's one key takeaway of an incisive May 18 article in Jacobin by Michael Schwartz and Kevin Young. The authors cogently argue that "social movements should focus on targeting corporations and oppressive institutions rather than politicians." Why? Because corporations and large organizations (think of the police, the military and lobbying groups such as the Chamber of Commerce and AIPAC, among many others) pull the strings of most politicians, particularly at the state and national levels.
Schwartz and Young state their case with a clarity that has history on their side:
Activists' decision to target corporations reflects a growing conviction that the government is unresponsive to popular demands because it is unwilling or unable to stop the abuses of the corporate world (this view is supported by recent statistical findings that "the public has little or no influence" on policy). While these movements can change corporate behavior, we believe that they can also influence government policy in ways that direct pressure on politicians cannot....
Inflicting pain on corporations through disruptive mass activism has historically been the best way to reduce corporate opposition to progressive changes, and in turn, the resistance of the politicians who represent them.
It's Official: Texas Prohibits Local Fracking Bans
signed HB 40 into law. Written by former ExxonMobil lawyer Shannon Ratliff, the statute forces every Texas municipality wanting common sense limits on oil and gas development to demonstrate its rules are "commercially reasonable." It effectively overturns a Denton ballot initiative banning fracking that passed last November.Yesterday Texas Gov. Abbott
"HB 40 was written by the oil and gas industry, for the oil and gas industry, to prevent voters from holding the oil and gas industry accountable for its impacts," said Earthworks' Texas organizer Sharon Wilson. Wilson, who played a key role in the Denton ballot initiative, continued, "It was the oil and gas industry's contempt for impacted residents that pushed Denton voters to ban fracking in the first place. And now the oil and gas industry, through state lawmakers, has doubled down by showing every city in Texas that same contempt."
By a 59-41 percent vote, including 70 percent of straight ticket Republican voters, the residents of Denton banned hydraulic fracturing within city limits. The ban was a last resort after more than five years of fruitlessly petitioning oil and gas companies, the city and the state for help. "By signing HB40 into law, Governor Abbott just declared that industry profits are more important than our health, our homes and our kids," said Adam Briggle, president of the Denton Drilling Awareness Group and a leader in the Frack Free Denton effort. He continued, "The letter of Texas law now says no city can 'effectively prevent an oil and gas operation from occurring,' no matter the threat to families' health and safety or damage to private property."

The castelo
According to an information plate the castle was built during the islamic periode. In the 12th and 13th century the castle was reinforced to resist the Christian army, which tried to get control of the region. With walls of 1.5 meters thickness and watchtowers of 9 meters height the castle was well fortified. Anyway the castle was taken by Dom Paio Peres Correia and the commanded order of St. James in around 1249.
The following years there was still need of the castle as there was no agreement about the region between Castile and Portugal. With the peace which finally came into the region in the 15th century the castle was of no use anymore and was abondoned.
