Beware the nOObs of March (a sure to be epic weekend in Death Valley)
Well, I've been tasked to start the ride report for this year's Death Valley March Madness nOObs Ride; and since I'm not coming home until Monday night I figure I better get it started before I go so the other nOObs know where to post.
If you are a reader and waiting for the good stuff, just be patient. Some folks hit the road today and there's a bunch more heading out tomorrow. Since there's wifi at Panamint Springs Resort there may be some reports coming in from onsite over the next couple of days.
In the meantime here's a few threads from the past:

Moonrise over camp Saturday night
I'm happy to add the first picture, but I can't write much more - I got a lot of work to do to get ready for tomorrow.
Overall a great weekend. Saw a lot of Death Valley I hadn't seen before this trip. Rode in sand the first time, broke a clutch lever, put some new scratches on the bike, ate a lot of dust, chewed a lot of gravel and made some new friends. Had so much fun I got a 45 min nose bleed when I arrived home.
I don't remember much other than my body is beat up and I have a hangover
Hey, I recognize that back!
mootsuno and spafxer made sure the nOObs find the correct camp sites and did what they do best, las vegas style

Sewer Rehabilitation Project causes temporary street closure
- Traffic traveling southbound on Kietzke Lane can access East 2nd Street by following the detour to Kuenzli Street west to Manuel Street, then south to East 2nd Street.
- Traffic traveling northbound on Kietzke Lane will be reduced to one lane of travel near Lewis Street, and no left turns will be permitted at East 2nd Street. Motorists will be able to access East 2nd Street by following the detour at Kuenzli Street west to Manuel, then south to East 2nd Street.
- Traffic traveling westbound on East 2nd Street will be detoured at Kietzke Lane north to Kuenzli Street, then west to Manuel Street, then south to East 2nd Street.
For safety reasons, parking on the street will not be possible within construction traffic control zones. Individuals may be required to park their vehicles outside the closure and walk to businesses or residences. Businesses in the area will remain open during construction.
About the 2014 Sewer Rehabilitation Project
The Sewer Rehabilitation Project is a part of a comprehensive sewer plan that will allow for increased capacity to handle tributary waste flows from existing, proposed and future developments. This phase of the Sewer Rehabilitation Project (Kietzke/East 2nd/Kuenzli/Giroux) is anticipated to be complete by June 15, 2014.
The timing and scheduling of this project has been coordinated with Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT), Renown Regional Medical Facility, Reno-Sparks Tribal Health Center and RTC RIDE.

Originally written on NFL Trade Rumors | Last updated 1/9/13
Reports came out on Tuesday that Bill Cowher would like to return to the sidelines at some point. Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that a source has informed him that Cowher will not return for the 2013 season and may not be back for another "four of five years." Dulac adds that Cowher has been contacted by NFL teams in recent weeks and one of the those teams is the Cleveland Browns. Cowher is reportedly "comfortable with his professional and personal life," which is why he hasn't been actively searching for a new opportunity in the league. Cowher has already been away from the game for a few years now, so you would have wonder whether or not he'll ever coach again given that the report suggests he could wait as long as five years before trying to return. The post Report: Bill Cowher Will Not Coach In 2013 appeared first on NFL Trade Rumors -.

Let me get this straight, you make a joke about a dudes mom. She legitimately IS dead and you get called on it. Do you, A: Say my bad that was a bit of a cocksucker statement or B: Pretend it didn't happen?
I'll go with A as a human being and a man all day long; let alone as a champion and a public figure.

Supreme Court Clinic: Criminal Justice
The Supreme Court Clinic has been at the forefront of cutting-edge criminal litigation, ranging from the new field of crimmigration (the overlap of criminal and immigration law) to the government's ability to search cellphones.
The Clinic's first case was a blockbuster: Padilla v. Kentucky (2010) held, 7-2, that defense lawyers must warn noncitizen defendants that they will or may be deported before they plead guilty. The Clinic team persuaded the Court that deportation has become so automatic and draconian a penalty for even minor criminal convictions that advising clients about it is part of defense lawyers' job. For their work on that case, the Padilla team won the 2011 Jack Wasserman Memorial Award from the American Immigration Lawyers Association.
In Ohio v. Smith (2010), police officers arrested Mr. Smith and, as part of the arrest, searched his cellphone. The Clinic successfully opposed Ohio's certiorari petition by distinguishing cell phones from other containers that police may open as part of an arrest, stressing how quickly the technology is changing, and dismantling the alleged disagreement among various courts on the issue.
In Tapia v. United States (2011), the Supreme Court needed a sentencing expert to explain why judges could adjust sentences to get inmates into drug treatment, so it appointed Professor Bibas to brief and argue the case as amicus curiae, a "great honor." Professor Bibas and the Clinic offered a fresh account of the Sentencing Reform Act's history and policy, one no other lawyers had seen. At oral argument, one observer noted, "Bibas [was] exceptionally well prepared. He knew what he was going to get asked and had his answers direct, succinct and well organized. He had great presence of mind, something it's easy to lose in the pressure of a SCOTUS argument." In announcing the Court's opinion, Justice Kagan went out of her way to compliment the "exceptionally good job" they had done with a difficult case.

Convention and visitors bureau celebrates travel and tourism
Experiencing nature helps conserve it, luncheon's keynote speaker says
CORPUS CHRISTI - Children these days aren't enjoying the outdoors as previous generations and that could be hurting the Coastal Bend economy, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department executive director said Thursday at the local convention and visitors bureau annual luncheon.
Nature brings tourists who spend money, Carter Smith said, which adds to the local economy.
"Some people can live without wild things and places and there are those who can't. Many Texans fall in the latter category," said Smith, who has been the Parks and Wildlife Department's director since 2007. "You have to get people outdoors, where they can feel it, smell it, hear it and touch it. Once they do, they're more likely to keep going back and more likely to save it."
Smith was the guest speaker at the luncheon at the American Bank Center. The event, which also included a trade show, marked National Travel and Tourism Week.
Tourism injects more than $1 billion into the local economy by an estimated 7.2 million visitors, according to the bureau. The local convention and visitors bureau has implemented several programs to attract more visitors, including the new Most Valuable Partner (MVP) program, which provides incentives for area residents to bring sports events and conventions to Corpus Christi.
The MVP program began April 30, and it already has begun to show results. Keith Arnold, the bureau's president and CEO, recognized four individuals who had brought overnight visitors:
-- Chris Adler, city councilwoman — Greater Southwest Region of Hadassah Conference, 115 room nights, $54,375 economic impact
-- Joe Schenk, Art Museum of South Texas director — Mountain-Plains Museums Association 2012 annual conference and midwinter board meeting, 625 room nights, $145,000 economic impact
-- Fred Segundo, Corpus Christi International Airport aviation director — South Central Chapter 2011 American Association of Airport Executives, 330 room nights, $87,500 economic impact
n Martha Durham, Corpus Christi Tennis Association executive director — nine tennis tournaments in 2010, almost 1,600 room nights, $199,374 economic impact.
The Brad Lomax Spirit of Hospitality award was presented to Todd Hunter, R-Corpus Christi, who has been an outspoken proponent for local economic development and an advocate for tourism issues, Arnold said.
The Nature Tourism Growth awards were given to the Coastal Bend Bays and Estuaries Program, AEP Texas, the city of Corpus Christi Parks and Recreation Department and the America's Birdiest City volunteers. Stripes convenience stores received the Visitors Services Excellence award.

Named the oldest person in the world less than a week ago, a woman who lived a fairly full life passed away at the age of 114 years old.
There remain about 85 folks who are 110 years or older in the world. This is my grandparents' generation and it's breathtaking to see everything that took place in their lifetimes. Born during the infancy of the auto, before the invention of the airplane, they lived to see humans fly to the moon. She was among the first women in the United States to vote in 1920.
Rest in peace - it was an amazing life.
In Connecticut, Worlds Oldest Woman Dies at 114
By JENNIFER MEDINA
EAST HARTFORD, Conn., Jan. 29 To say Emma Faust Tillman lived a full life would be an epic understatement.
She was one of 23 children born to former slaves in North Carolina, and one of only 15 who lived to adulthood. She was the first black student to graduate from Glastonbury High School, just a few miles south of here, and voted in the first election in which women were allowed to do so. Discrimination prevented her finding a job as a secretary, so she began catering, eventually baking cakes for Katharine Hepburns father and Jackie Robinson.
Mrs. Tillman, who died Sunday, was known as the mother of the Metropolitan A.M.E. Zion Church in Hartford, where she sang in the choir for more than 70 years.
And last Wednesday she was declared the oldest person in the world, at 114 years, 63 days and counting.
Whether she ever knew she received the title is unclear. When the television news cameras crowded into the lobby of her nursing home here, Mrs. Tillman acknowledged them but was unable to speak, her head hanging down, a blank look on her face.
By the time they left, she was exhausted and returned to the bedroom she moved to in 2003, after decades of living independently. She went to sleep and never woke up again.
The title of worlds oldest person is now apparently passed to Yone Minagawa of Japan, who was born within weeks of Mrs. Tillman and turned 114 this month.
And though it is perhaps impolite to mention, recent history suggests that Ms. Minagawa may not hold the crown for long. In the last month alone, the title of oldest person has changed hands three times, according to the Gerontology Research Group, an authority on the matter.
The Guinness Book of World Records will not be able to keep up, said Dr. L. Stephen Coles of the University of California, Los Angeles, the executive director of the group. This has been a pretty volatile time. Usually weve had a more stable No. 1 position.
On average, Dr. Coles said, the oldest person retains the title for about eight months. But since August, there have been five. Dr. Coles said that this was nothing more than a statistical anomaly.
Even among those who age gracefully, few live long enough to become supercentenarians, the term given to those older than 110. With the death of Mrs. Tillman, the gerontology group has records of 84 such people in the world: 6 men and 78 women.
Dr. Coles acknowledged, though, that it is likely that the list, which relies on notification from relatives or neighbors, vastly underestimates the number.
For those who are known to be in that select circle, life as a very old person can become quite a public affair. Mrs. Tillman, for her part, did not shy away from the attention, happy to take in the birthday parties for her at the convalescent home.
On her 113th birthday in 2005, Mrs. Tillman received 113 long-stem red roses from a much younger man Donald Pitkin, a member of the East Hartford Town Council, who at the time was 84. My, my, what a lot of beautiful flowers, those who were present recall her saying. It makes a woman think she might want to get married again.
Mrs. Tillmans husband died in 1939, before the United States entered World War II. She outlived countless other relatives, including one of her two daughters. But of the four siblings who moved north with Mrs. Tillman at the turn of the 20th century, all lived past age 100.
There is no consensus on what allows certain people to live so long, but there is wide agreement that good genes are the best predictor of a long life. It probably helped, too, that Mrs. Tillman neither smoked nor drank.
She also did not drive. But with the exception of relying on others for rides, Mrs. Tillman lived quite independently. After first voting in 1920, she cast a ballot in every election until 2006. She attended church weekly until her 114th birthday, on Nov. 22.
That day, Mrs. Tillman was quite subdued, but she perked up when the choir sang two of her favorite songs, In the Garden and Passing Through, said John Stewart Jr., one of her great-nephews, who attended the service with her.
It was the last time Mrs. Tillman would leave her home, he said. He recalled her remarking on the milestone: Im 114. Its enough now, she said. Ill go whenever the man upstairs calls me home.
Mrs. Tillman is survived by her 80-year-old daughter, Majorie. But the large extended family is something of a complicated clan: the funeral program will list 7 grandchildren, 36 great-grandchildren, 16 great-great-grandchildren and 16 great-great-great-grandchildren.
She was the glue that held us all together, said Mr. Stewart, the family historian and a former chief of the Hartford Fire Department the first African-American fire chief in New England. She has served the good Lord, she has served the church, she has served us. What better legacy can she leave?
Once it became clear on Friday that Mrs. Tillman was entering her final days, family members filed into her room. They quickly decided they would not attach her to a feeding tube or other machines, preferring to let her die in what doctors said would be a matter of days.
By Sunday evening, Mr. Stewart said, she looked as though she had more color in her face, and a smile seemed to have appeared on her lips.

Sahara - part one
From Douz we are going on a tour of the surrounding villages. Part on the road, part in the desert.
Warming up...
Let's go to the dunes...
Ups, again...
Flight over the steering and broken windshield..
We must do something with this windshield now, so we going to the small place called Zafrane...
...final touch...
"Designed by Zafrane"
Back to the desert...
Ok, we are going from Douz to Ksar Ghilane just now. If we make it, we will sleep there, if not, we will sleep in the desert...
First you can see traces and later they were less and less..
Everything was as it should be until we come deeper into the desert. After Ivan¨s jump over one dune, I heard plastic cracking. The plate and bikes rear end, resting on the tire. It is not good, probably the shock absorber. No, it is not. The entire rear end hanging. Thats good, frame is broken. Why do I say, it is good. I learned one thing in Africa. When you have some bike failure, the best that can hapend is anything related to iron. Here there are always a hundred welding machine per square kilometer. Take of Ivans top case, lets see the situation.
As you can see from the color of the break point it was cracked before. As I supposed. Anyone who knows what Ivan do with his bike could expect something like this before. Ivan in his topcase never have less than 20 kilos. And this topcase carrier is an ideal lever. So, we're not surprised. This image was made after we raised the rear of the bike.
Small down part of the frame is still not broken all, so we will go back slowly. Very slowly.
His topcase is behind me. Believe me, it is not easy to drive deep sand with something on the back of my bike. Interesting experience.
Very nice...
...and interesting.
First free welding man is ours. We have chosen older one.
Ok, lets do it...First on the one side...
...litlle bit on the other...
And here it is. Easier than the tire change. If they see this work in the Yamaha would take this duo in Japan.
"The Mean Machine" is in the game again...
Tea time for our expert...
...and for us.
More bikes...
Ok, I know whats the problem. We are too light, so my friend has too much space for jumping arround. Tomorow, we are going overloaded. Thats the formula. What do you think?
"Oh, my new wheel! Everybody will look at me tonight. All womens will be mine."
We need some petrol for tomorow...
This is only motorcycle we see in Tunisia so far. He must be soon of the city mayor...
Dinner. Top chef...
Tomorow is D day. No, no, S day. Sahara - new attack.

In 2010, when the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, we knew that new opportunities were emerging for drug users who were disconnected from the traditional healthcare system.
Read Whole Story
Innovative drug policies being practiced around the world are keeping people out of prison, getting help for those who need it, reducing HIV, crime and overdose deaths. To truly treat drug use as a health issue and end our country's unwinnable war, we need to implement three proven strategies.

It is time for smokers and vapers to join the growing anti-drug war movement. Smokers and vapers may not think about it, but they are also drug users and they are being demonized and threatened like other drug users. And vapers may not know it, but they are harm-reductionists.

The AIDS epidemic in America is still far too real. And the risk factors have taken on a new face: race and poverty.
I deeply regret that I was unfair to Mr. Kerlikowske and misled the readers of Huffington Post regarding his support and commitment on important public health issues.
My morning with Ritchie, part of a required residency rotation on addiction, offered a rare glimpse into patients' lives outside hospital walls and the important, if unsettling, work that complements our efforts as physicians.
One way New York State is considering streamlining its Medicaid costs is by expanding needle-exchange centers to help drug users prevent getting HIV and hepatitis C. But that may take federal funds, and Congress reinstated a ban on such funds last year.
Last year, President Obama recognized the progress against the HIV epidemic, but it was dealt a serious blow in January, when Congress reinstated a ban on federal funding of syringe exchange programs.
Democratic administrations are the worst drug policy reformers. That is, except for Republican adminstrations.
Given the state's current political climate, it's unlikely Florida will change its drug paraphernalia laws any time soon, which means the residents of inner city Miami will need to continue to watch their step.

It's interesting that in all of the press I've read so far celebrating Ronald Reagan, I have not seen one word about his radical escalation of the drug war -- and the devastating effects that had on our society.
How is it possible for Republican leaders to take on the issues of gay marriage, crucial AIDS prevention programs and medical marijuana in a single day? By throwing their weight around in the District of Columbia.
To deny injecting-drug-users access to needle exchange programs is to fail to act to save human lives, to fail to acknowledge the dignity of every human life, and to fail to respond in solidarity to those who are marginalized.
Since President Obama's election, the Office of National Drug Control Policy has been making noises about a shift in approach and priorities towards addressing drugs and drug problems.

COMMUNITY COMMENT: Local Komen affiliate proud to post grant recipients
With news breaking nearly every day, there has never been a greater need for clarity in our communications with the Tri-State.
Rest assured, the controversy inspired by actions at the national office of Susan G. Komen has in no way impacted the Evansville Tri-State Affiliate's dedication to our core mission in the 28 counties we serve in Southern Indiana, Southern Illinois and Western Kentucky.
It is most unfortunate we have been distracted by the accusations and emotions on all sides of a hotly debated political issue. Politics has no place in the fight to end breast cancer. We must do everything we can to refocus our energies on what matters: breast cancer still devastates families and takes too many lives.
Our local affiliate will continue to fund worthy programs here at home to educate, screen and treat the women and men most at risk and also help breast cancer patients navigate the complex health care system. We will continue to fund research that will save lives and help us eradicate breast cancer.
Our local grant-funding process is rigorous, and not subject to political pressures of any kind. In the last fourteen years, we've provided $5.7 million in grants to organizations that deliver breast health services. Locally, from April 2011 to December 2011, we provided more than 1,223 mammograms; 659 diagnostic procedures; found 21 new breast cancers; treated 98 women for breast cancer; and assisted 30 women with patient navigation.
These are vital breast health services for our community and are funded through our programs. Our only chance of building on this record of service is to continue raising funds to help more women.
Up to 75 percent of every dollar we raise is put back into our community to provide for these breast health programs. Our affiliate has never had the need to fund a Planned Parenthood facility nor have they ever applied for grant funds.
A history of every grant we have ever funded is on our website at the following link: www.komenevansville.org/assets/grants-documents/history-of-grants-as-of-april.pdf
The remaining 25 percent of funds is sent to our national office in Dallas, Texas to be used only for breast cancer research. Susan G. Komen for the Cure is the world's largest private funder of breast cancer research. The national organization, along with 120 affiliates across the country, are proud to have earned Charity Navigator's prestigious four-star rating for the fifth year in a row, a feat accomplished by only 5% of the nation's nonprofit organizations.
In the last week, the Evansville Tri-State Affiliate has been contacted by concerned supporters, many worried that the controversy will harm our fundraising efforts. We do not think that will be the case and we are counting on our thousands of supporters, donors, partners and friends to join with us and stay laser-focused on the mission: save lives and end breast cancer forever.

July 02, 2015
|Related: RISING STAR, ABC, Reality TV
The next set of 12 phenomenal singers from across the country will perform on this Sunday's episode of ABC's new groundbreaking reality series "Rising Star," SUNDAY, JUNE 29 (9:00-11:00 p.m., ET; check local listings) on the ABC Television Network. They are:
Egypt Dixon, 18, Texarkana, TX
Megan Tibbits, 26, Caro, MI
Rye Davis, 25, Pig, Kentucky
Shameia Crawford, 30, Lithonia, GA
Austin French, 20, Tifton, GA
Deedra Ervin, 20, Belle Haven, VA
April Lockhart, 18, Warren, NJ
Trinitii (group ages 19-30, Sacramento, CA
Will Roth, Watauga, TX
Alice J. Lee, 25, Chicago, IL
Adam Jaymes, 24, Palmdale, CA
Sonnet Simmons, 34, LA, CA
Internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter Josh Groban is host, and country music superstar Brad Paisley, music sensation Kesha and hip hop artist and actor Ludacris comprise the expert panel on ABC's "Rising Star," the next evolution of live television. "Rising Star" completely reinvents the traditional singing competition as--for the first time ever--the audience has the final say in real time. Each episode of the show follows a group of aspiring singers as they perform live. During each performance, viewers vote in real time via an App to determine if the singer will advance in the competition. If the voting reaches a certain threshold, the performer moves on. In addition, based on the number of viewer photos appearing on the wall, the performer can see the level of response to his or her performance, so the feedback is immediate and dramatic.
To vote for your favorite performers, home judges (viewers) can download the Rising Star ABC app through the Apple App Store, Windows Market Place, or the Google Play Store. The App is essential to participate in the voting process, but it's totally FREE and easy to use. Just register with your Facebook or Twitter account, and you're ready to go. Before each performance, you'll be asked to check-in, and then when it's time to vote, swipe Blue (to the right) to vote YES or RED (to the left) to vote NO. You'll see the results of the vote in REAL TIME on television - even if you are on the West Coast. In just seconds, your votes determine whether the wall rises, whether a performer moves on or goes home, or if you're on the West Coast, whether a lucky performer gets a second chance. And IF you give us permission through the app, you might also see your Facebook or Twitter profile picture on the Rising Star wall. To learn more on how to vote, click here.
"Rising Star" opened the gate to a new era in reality competition, when the executive producers, Ken Warwick ("American Idol") and Nicolle Yaron ("The Voice") kicked off a nationwide search for talent earlier this year. The show accepted submissions online, via Instagram and production members traveled to Dallas, Atlanta, Chicago, Nashville, Los Angeles, New York and Boston for in person auditions. Beginning June 22, the performers winnowed down by that search will have their moment onstage in "Rising Star" with viewers deciding who wins.
"Rising Star" is executive produced in the U.S. by Ken Warwick ("American Idol") and Nicolle Yaron ("The Voice"). The series is from Keshet DCP, the joint venture between Keshet International (KI), the global distribution and production arm of Keshet Media Group, and DC Media, the parent company of dick clark productions (dcp).

ABSTRACT: COPD is associated with increased arterial stiffness which may in part explain the cardiovascular morbidity observed in the disease. A causal relationship between arterial stiffness and cardiovascular events has not been established, though their strong association raises the possibility that therapies that reduce arterial stiffness may improve cardiovascular outcomes. Prior studies suggest that fluticasone propionate/salmeterol (FSC) may improve cardiovascular outcomes in COPD and we hypothesized that FSC would reduce arterial stiffness in these patients. This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study compared the effects of FSC 250/50 μg twice-daily and placebo on aortic pulse wave velocity (aPWV) as determined by ECG-gated carotid and femoral artery waveforms. The primary endpoint was aPWV change from baseline at 12-weeks (last measure for each patient). 249 patients were randomized; the mean FEV(1) in each group was similar (55% predicted) and 60% of patients reported a cardiovascular disorder. At 12-weeks, aPWV between FSC and placebo was -0.42 m/s (95%CI -0.88, 0.03; p = 0.065). A statistically significant reduction in aPWV between FSC and placebo was observed in those who remained on study drug throughout the treatment period [-0.49 m/s (95%CI -0.98, -0.01; p = 0.045)]. A post hoc analysis suggested the effect of FSC was greater in patients with higher baseline aPWV. FSC does not reduce aPWV in all patients with moderate to severe COPD, but may have effects in those with elevated arterial stiffness. Additional studies are required to determine if aPWV could serve as a surrogate for cardiovascular events in COPD.Respiratory medicine 06/2011; 105(9):1322-30. DOI:10.1016/j.rmed.2011.05.016

ABSTRACT: To estimate the prevalence of unidentified chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and determine the screening accuracy of the Lung Function Questionnaire (LFQ). Cigarette smokers who had a smoking history of 10 or more pack-years and were aged 30 years or older were recruited from 36 centers from February 18, 2009, to May 29, 2009. A total of 1575 patients completed a Web-based survey including the 5-item LFQ. Spirometry was performed on patients with an LFQ total score of 18 or less and on a subset scoring more than 18. The primary outcome was the proportion of patients at risk of airflow obstruction as measured by the LFQ (score, ≤ 18) in whom an airflow obstruction was confirmed by spirometry. Of the patients who completed the LFQ, 849 (54%) had standardized spirometry data available. On the basis of LFQ and spirometry results, the estimated prevalence of possible COPD was 17.9% (95% confidence interval, 15.3%-20.6%). At a cut point of 18 or less, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of the LFQ were 88%, 25%, 21%, and 90%, respectively. Approximately 1 in 5 patients (21%) aged 30 years or older and 1 in 4 (26%) aged 50 years or older scored 18 or less on the LFQ and had a ratio of forced expiratory volume in the first second of expiration to forced vital capacity less than 0.70. On the basis of postbronchodilator spirometry results using weighted estimates, approximately 1 in 5 patients (21%) aged 30 years or older with a smoking history of 10 or more pack-years seen in a primary care setting is likely to have COPD. The LFQ could be a helpful COPD case-finding tool for clinicians to identify patients who need further evaluation. clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT01013948.Mayo Clinic Proceedings 05/2011; 86(5):375-81.

Nativist Leader Cited For Indecent Exposure
March has certainly come in like a lion for "Buffalo" Rick Galeener. It's been a rip-roarin' month so far for the professional singing cowboy-turned-co-founder of Riders United for a Sovereign America, or Riders USA, a Phoenix-based immigrant-bashing motorcycle gang.
Last week, Galeener was profiled in the new issue of the Intelligence Report as one of the 20 most active militant nativists in the country. Then, earlier this week, he was quoted in a National Public Radio report talking trash about Salvador Reza, a Phoenix labor organizer and U.S. Air Force veteran who operates the Macehualli Work Center, a day labor facility in Phoenix outside of which Galeener and other nativists have protested almost every day this year.
The March 11 NPR piece, though, failed to note that three days before it aired, Galeener was cited by a Phoenix police officer for exposing his penis to a Hispanic woman and her 2-year-old son outside the Macehualli center. ( continue to full post… )

Oklahoma Pol: Gays 'Biggest Threat Our Nation Has'
According to Oklahoma lawmaker Sally Kern, gays are more of a threat to America than terrorists. Also, they are "going after our young children, as young as two years of age," "infiltrating" city councils across the country, and have completed a hostile takeover of Eureka Springs, Ark.
These were just a few of the bizarre assertions in the anti-gay tirade Kern spewed at a recent appearance at a community event for supporters. Last week, the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund, a Washington, D.C., political group posted the audio on YouTube.
Ironically, Kern represents a district in Oklahoma City, a community that became all too familiar with the true danger of terrorism when the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building was bombed in 1995. She sits on the House of Representatives' Education and Human Services Committee and chairs the Social Services Committee.
While Kern's claims were astounding, they were hardly original. In fact, taken together they're a greatest hits medley of unhinged claims currently in vogue among anti-gay extremists and propagandists.
Intelligence Report: Hate Groups Up 48% Since 2000
We've just released the "Year in Hate" issue of the Intelligence Report, showing a staggering 48% jump since 2000 in the number of hate groups that operate in America. That translates into an increase from 602 groups that year to 888 in 2007 — growth almost entirely driven by the poisonous national debate on immigration. That debate has given hate groups an issue with great resonance that they are using successfully to recruit new members.
Already, recently released FBI statistics had suggested that hate crimes against Latinos — crimes that perpetrators typically think they are carrying out against undocumented immigrants — rose 35% between 2003 and 2006. The Report has now found other evidence to support the notion that a rage against immigrants is being successfully used by hate groups: the largest numerical growth of these groups last year came in the three border states of California, Arizona and Texas.
"Hate groups continue to successfully exploit the immigration debate to their advantage, even though the immigration issue has largely disappeared from the presidential debate," said Mark Potok, editor of the Report, the staff of which writes this blog. "The fact is that they've been aided and abetted by mainstream pundits and politicians who give these haters a platform for their propaganda." ( continue to full post… )

Endangered birds take refuge at Memphis TVA plant's ash ponds
Terns lay eggs in unnatural spot
To visit a newly discovered nesting site for an endangered bird species, David Thorpe doesn't have to don camouflage and stalk off into the wilderness for some remote, pristine spot.
All he has to do is hop into his SUV, drive past a locked gate and onto some dusty acreage where murky, slate-colored water spews from a pipe and oozes into ponds that are lined with piles of ash and set against a backdrop of towering smoke stacks.
Here in the most unnatural of locations — the ash ponds at TVA's Allen Fossil Plant in southwest Memphis — dozens of interior least terns have been laying eggs, gorging themselves on minnows, rearing their young and simply soaring around in the bright blue sky.
"They'll fly right over us — they're checking us out," says Thorpe, environmental program administrator for the Tennessee Valley Authority, as he watched the terns during a visit to the ponds.
Least terns in this area usually set up their nests on Mississippi River sand bars that get exposed as the water drops in the summer. But this year, unusually high water levels have covered up sandbars, forcing the terns to look elsewhere.
The Allen plant's ash pond complex, about a mile east of the Mississippi and just off McKellar Lake, seems to be providing the birds with most of their requirements. The terns, which are on the federal endangered list because their natural habitat along many rivers has been degraded by dams and other alterations, need wide-open surfaces for nests and nearby water for food.
The pond complex, where fly ash from coal-burning generating units settles after being discharged in a slurry mixture, has unvegetated areas for nests and a pond flush with minnows.
"They're really taking a liking to our ash pond," said Doug Keeling, manager of the Allen plant.
TVA has borne criticism in the past for its management of ash ponds, especially after a massive ash spill in December 2008 at its Kingston, Tenn., plant caused extensive environmental damage.
But ever since local bird-watchers discovered the terns at the Allen ponds more than a month ago, the agency has been taking care so that its operations don't harm the nests, Keeling said.
It hasn't been easy. TVA was just about to return to service a generating unit that had undergone maintenance when the nests were discovered. Bringing a unit online usually means dumping more water into the ponds.
"The challenge for us was how do we return the unit to service without covering the eggs," Keeling said.
Using stop logs and diesel pumps, TVA has kept the water low enough for the nesting areas to stay dry.
The main problem the agency has experienced involves predators. Coyotes have been able to scavenge nests because, unlike the river sandbars preferred by the terns, the ash pond site isn't surrounded by water.
TVA plans to work with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's wildlife services officials to find ways to reduce the pressure from predators.
But some of the eggs already have hatched, including three on June 27. It takes three weeks before the chicks are able to fly.
Mary Jennings, Tennessee field supervisor for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, said it's too early to tell whether the ash ponds will prove a successful nesting area for the terns. But she praised TVA's efforts.
"I couldn't ask for more from the plant," Jennings said.

Please, Unban My left nut
Okay so i know its my fault for farming 9 TOKKUL and we didn't even Xfer them to a different account. I knew i should of never done it to begin with. After zezima had caught us i just stopped immediately because i knew it was gonna lead to more trouble. This is the best server i have found out of all the ones out there and i want to play again. I PROMISE I WILL NEVER FARM AGAIN, so please can i have a second chance?
