Bird, and Fish, deaths still unexplained
So far "the experts" have come out with explanations that include New Year fireworks, lightning strikes, or high-altitude hail. What is certain is that all the birds suffered from severe physical trauma which had led to internal bleeding and, thus, death; however, there was no sign of any chronic or infectious disease. Another theory is that a violent thunderstorm could have made the birds disorientated.
One top biologist from Cornell University said the birds were "....probably asleep in a single tree when a washing machine-type thunderstorm sucked them up into the air, disoriented them, and even fatally soaked and chilled them."
If fireworks killed them, why doesn't it happen every New Year and why, especially, doesn't it happen here in the UK every Bonfire Night! Nor does it happen here in heavy thunderstorms.
Meanwhile, in Louisiana, 500 birds were found dead in Labarre. And, the explanation given in this case is that they probably flew into power lines. Several of these birds had head, neck, beak, or back, injuries as opposed to simply having fallen out of the sky.
Once again, "the experts" tell us they've found nothing to link the bird deaths from separate States together. And, it was pointed out that on the US Geological Service website there is a list of around 90 mass deaths of birds and other wildlife from June to December 2010 in which there were 5 occurrences of over 1,000 birds having died.
There was yet another instance of birds being found dead in the USA. This time the report came from Kentucky. It doesn't state how many and only mentions dozens, but you can read an article about it here:
Over on the other side of the world, in Sweden, a new occurrence made the news today, 05/01/2011. Just prior to midnight yesterday between 50 and 100 birds were found in central Sweden. In this case the cause has been put down to fireworks having frightened the birds who, in the dark, landed in the road and were run over by a car. You can read the full story here.
But, it isn't only birds who are being found dead for no apparent reason.
Back in Arkansas the death of approximately 100,000 drum fish in the Arkansas River is being investigated. At the moment it's thought they died from disease.
And, in Chesapeake Bay, Maryland, tens of thousands of dead fish washed onto the shores of the bay. Here, they believe the fish died from the stress of cold water, but they haven't been able to explain why the fish didn't migrate as they would normally have done.
Over in Brazil, in Paraná, Paranaguá, at least 100 tons of fish have washed up dead since 30/12/2010. Since then, dead fish have been washing up in other coastal towns. A report into their deaths is due to be released, but the regional coordinator of Civil Defence has 3 ideas; they died due an environmental imbalance, dropping a fishing boat, or a chemical leak.
And, in New Zealand, hundreds of dead snapper fish have washed onto the Coromandel beaches of the North Island. You can find that report here.
Maybe we're only hearing about these deaths because the first story was reported around the world. But it is striking a lot of people as being very odd, and on some websites they are putting it down to HAARP!
However, I have at least another suggestion for the cause behind the death of all the birds. It's to do with the Earth's magnetic lines, by which it's known that they navigate. I found the following in the archives of the Space Weather site:
The first is from Wednesday, Dec. 29, 2010, and states that the geomagnetic storm of the previous day was subsiding. But it had begun when "the interplanetary magnetic field tipped south, opening a crack in Earth's magnetosphere and allowing solar wind to enter. Cameras onboard US Dept. of Defense meteorological satellites recorded bright bands of aurora borealis circling the polar regions north of Scandinavia"
The second is from Thursday, Dec. 30, 2010, and says that "NASA's STEREO-B spacecraft is monitoring a vast hole in the sun's atmosphere--a "coronal hole. ….. A stream of solar wind flowing from this coronal hole should reach Earth on Jan. 2nd or 3rd."
Finally, from Friday, Dec. 31, 2010, it tells us that "US Department of Defense polar-orbiting satellites are observing bright bands of auroral light circling the North Pole. This display, recorded on Dec. 30th, was as bright as the city lights of Scandinavia." Data from the images "shows the sinuous path of the energetic particles entering Earth's upper atmosphere. These sinuous bands could descend south over Europe and parts of North America around Jan. 3rd when a solar wind stream is expected to hit Earth's magnetosphere"
Could the bird deaths, possibly, be to do with solar flares. Have these recent solar winds been strong enough to kill?
I don't know the answer, but at least it's not as silly a suggestion as some of those that I've read!
Update: 06/01/2011 More dead birds have surfaced, this time in East Texas.
I'm just not able to keep up with all the reports of dead birds and dead fish. So, if you want to know what's happening I suggest you keep an eye on the news sites.

this possibility also crossed my mind. take a look at US NWS alert timelines: http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/alerts/archive/archive_16Dec2010.shortlyhtml
there is one alert for radio waves interefence few hours before Akransas and Sweden reports.

Thanks Steven. That's a great map, although I have to admit I was dubious about using the tiny URL as I normally don't trust them - I like to know where I'm going before I click a link :)
I wouldn't be surprised if the map needed updating as more stories come in; which I feel they're probably bound to do.
Great work.

great minds think alike, in a hopeful world i hope we are wrong but magnetic polar, solar wind, and other factors are all a play . there are more recent reports about other bird deaths re pigeons so expect more in the next three months,, temperature dropping or current change is very worrying

Hi, just discovered your website. I did a google search and there have were also massive unexplained bird die offs in 2009 and 2007. wth is going on?!! After the Arkansas bird die off, the scientists said that they had NO explanation. All they knew was that blunt force trauma was involved and it was not from the birds hitting the ground. Today, Jan 7th, some news outlets have done a complete reveral and are saying that scientists are sure the birds died from natural causes such as cold weather or fireworks. Bull puckey!

Hi from Johannesburg South Africa I find this very interresting as I recently had two birds fly into my bedroom window (on different occasions) like they were disorientated and then die...friends have reported the same...what's going on?

- Kithra said...
Hi Miq,
This has, as you probably know, now become a worldwide phenomena. And so much is being reported that I'm afraid I've lost track of it all.
But, birds do sometimes fly into windows and then die from their injuries. Which isn't part of what's been going on here. So I wouldn't worry too much about that. And one way you can stop it from happening is to have something on your windows so that they can see it's not "air" but an obstruction.
Hope you don't get any more of them killing themselves like this.

Between 2010 December and January 2011 has been occurred all over the world mass deaths of birds, fishes and other animals. Into question is large worldwide mass deaths of animals, and this means that they are not merely natural deaths. My intention is drawing attention to possible explanations for mass deaths of animals.

Germany Rejects Snowden Claim it Bowed to NSA
Germany dismissed a claim by NSA leaker Edward Snowden that it had bowed to U.S. demands to water down privacy rights for German citizens.
Snowden told the European Parliament in a statement published Friday that Germany was pressured to modify its legislation on wiretapping and other forms of lawful telecoms surveillance. The former National Security Agency contractor didn't elaborate on how the laws were changed or when, but suggested it was standard practice for the NSA to instruct friendly nations on how to "degrade the legal protections of their countries' communications."
"Laws are made by the German parliament and it doesn't give in to outside pressure, certainly not from foreign spy agencies, and that's true in this case too," government spokesman Steffen Seibert said.
Snowden's claim is particularly sensitive for Germany. While Chancellor Angela Merkel's government has been among the loudest critics of the NSA's reported surveillance of foreign citizens - including Merkel herself - domestic critics say German spy agencies collaborated closely with their American counterparts in ways that may have breached Germany's strict data protection laws.
Snowden claims the NSA took advantage of different legal systems across Europe to eavesdrop on calls and emails across the continent.
Speaking at the opening of the world's biggest technology trade fair in Hannover late Sunday, Merkel called for European Union countries to harmonize their data protection laws, and make the issue a central part of talks with Washington over a free trade agreement.
Her proposal was backed by Neelie Kroes, vice president of the European Commission, who said Europe could gain a competitive advantage by making digital privacy a priority.
"Snowden gave us a wake-up call," she said. "Let's not snooze through it."

For more coverage of the Turnidge trial, go online to StatesmanJournal.com/Turnidge.
For more court and crime news, see the Capitol Offenses blog online at StatesmanJournal.com.
Hundreds of Marion County residents crammed into a courtroom Wednesday, waiting to see whether they'd be jurors in the coming trial of two men accused in a Woodburn bank bombing.
Hundreds more will report today for jury selection in the trial of Bruce and Joshua Turnidge.
The father and son are accused of planting a bomb at a West Coast Bank in Woodburn on Dec. 12, 2008. Police responded and took the bomb into the bank, where it exploded, according to court documents.
Oregon State Police trooper and bomb technician William Hakim and Woodburn Police Capt. Thomas Tennant were killed. Woodburn Police Chief Scott Russell was seriously injured, and bank employee Laurie Perkett also was hurt.
Each man faces accusations of aggravated murder, assault and building an explosive device, among other charges.
If convicted by a jury, a second phase of trial to determine the appropriate sentence will begin. Prosecutors have said they will seek the death penalty.
The jury selection process could take three weeks. Jurors will appear before a judge, prosecutors and defense attorneys in panels for screening.
Twelve jurors and four alternates will be selected to serve during trial, which is expected to last 12 weeks.
Bruce Turnidge, 59, and Joshua Turnidge, 34, were arrested days after the bombing and since have been in custody at the Marion County jail.

Northeast Jones football head coach Keith Braddock, right, leads a workout drill during practice. / Ben Sutton/Hattiesburg American
Northeast Jones football head coach Keith Braddock calls to his players during summer practice. / Ben Sutton/Hattiesburg American
Scouting report
Coach: Keith Braddock
Record: 21-15 (fourth season)
Region: 5-4A
Last season: 7-5, 3-2 (lost in Region 4A first round)
State championships: 1996
Mascot: Tigers
Assistant coaches: Will Parker, Tom Lewis, P.T. Jones, Ramon Jones, Michael Kelley, Steve Kelley, Brad Griffin, Bob McRory, Mario Genna
Shoes to fill: QB James Ayers
Players to watch: LB/RB Reggio Dean, LB Justin Stewart, Ath. Jaylen Keys
The skinny: The Tigers will be relying heavily on young, untested players, along with a small core of veterans to propel their teams success. Strong defense and a run-first offense could propel Northeast Jones back to the playoffs, but 2013-14 being a rebuilding year for the Tigers seems more likely.
2013 schedule:

LAUREL — Northeast Jones has a lot of young, untested players on its 2013 roster.
Thats just fine as far as head coach Keith Braddock is concerned.
Weve got a bunch of young kids that have never had an opportunity to play, Braddock said. Im excited about seeing them in a game-time situation, because they are so young and theyve committed to us.
Theyre working hard, and I want to see some of that hard work pay off.
But the Tigers wont be relying only on fresh faces to build on their 7-5 (3-2 in-district) 2012 campaign. Braddock hopes to see a small but potent corps of returning players step up to make plays in 2013.
In particular, three-sport athlete Jaylen Keys should figure prominently into the Tigers success. Keys has sat out of workouts thus far this summer due to injury, but Braddock fully expects Keys to be ready to go for the 2013 season.
Jaylen Keys is a three-sport athlete here. Hell play some quarterback and wide receiver, Braddock said. He starts at (defensive back), so hell be an athlete for us.
Keys, along with linebackers Reggio Dean and Justin Stewart, will help form the veteran core of a strong defensive front for Northeast Jones.
On offense, Braddock says establishing the run will be key for the Tigers.
Were trying to get that hardcore, run-run-run, tough, physical mentality, Braddock said. Were gonna have to be a team that can establish the run. Thats what I believe in.
Despite Northeast Jones emphasis on the ground game, wide receiver Jamarcus Ross may become an important cog in the Tigers offensive machine.
He has a lot of potential, Braddock said of Ross. Id like to see him come into his own and make some plays for us.

Gold/Silver Ratio Traders Happy?
- Details
Real-time Monetary Inflation (last 12 months): -1.9%
So, traders came back from their summer escapes yesterday (well, a lot of traders, anyway; the trading floor population will likely not come to full force until after the High Holidays). Business, as a result, picked up for precious metals. Gold and silver both were bid up—though the reasons for the buying befuddled some market observers. From talk among the trade, buying was pretty much just something to do.
No matter for gold/silver ratio traders, though. Things are working well for those bulls with a predilection for white metal. When we last examined the ratio ("How To Trade The Gold/Silver Spread"), an ounce of gold could buy 64.4 ounces of silver (basis the December COMEX deliveries). By yesterday's settlement, gold's multiple had slipped to 63.2x; gold's purchasing power had been whittled down a bit.
Let's define "a bit" more fully. Traders aiming for a narrowing ratio would have sold short two gold futures for every three silver contracts purchased. The spread, treated as a single entity by the exchange clearinghouse rather than two outright positions, gives traders the ability to make money whether metals prices rise or fall, just as long as the difference in their prices diminishes.
The relatively small contraction in the ratio has produced an open gain of $5,770 in the spread. That's a 36.4 percent return on margin. In answer to the headline question, then, I'd say yes, the spreaders favoring silver ought to be happy.
Gold/Silver Spread
Long Dec
Silver (3)
Short Dec
Gold (2)
07 Sep-10
The undercurrent here is that gold, although rising, hasn't exhibited the same vigorous momentum as silver. Let's not forget that silver tends to be more volatile than gold—its annualized standard deviation is 38.8 percent vs. gold's 23.7 percent—and that three trading days is hardly permanency.
But gold's momentum has been lackadaisical, even before September. Specifically, there's been a divergence in the direction of gold's momentum oscillator and its price trend since mid-August. Momentum has headed south while prices worked their way north.
Momentum is typically highest at the beginning of a trend and lowest at trend turning points. Any divergence in the price and momentum directions warns of weakness; if price extremes occur with weak momentum, it signals an end of movement in that direction.
Spot gold's momentum reached a nadir of -51.1 on July 27 when bullion was $1,161 an ounce. A peak of +61.1 was attained on Aug. 16 when gold climbed to $1,227. Now, even though gold has risen about $30 since then, its price momentum indicator has tumbled to +22.4. You can see this same pattern on the chart for the bullion-holding SPDR Gold Shares Trust (NYSE Arca: GLD).
And silver's momentum? Silver's indicator bottomed at -0.4 on Aug. 23, then rose like gold's (the apparent disparity in the size of the indicators is due to the fact that they're based upon the per-ounce price of the metals; the trajectory and the signage is more important than the absolute size of the indicator). The essential difference is that silver's momentum hasn't yet peaked.
Silver's indicator is at +1.53 presently, though strengthwise, it does look a bit overbought. And, yes, you can see this divergence replicated on the chart of the iShares Silver Trust (NYSE Arca: SLV), too.
So, all tolled—and told—there's the reason for ratio traders' smiles. Let's see how long they can remain happy.

Fifty Shades Of Grey author E L James has proudly shared a photo of herself standing near a giant billboard advertising the upcoming film.
The poster image, which show's Jamie Dornan's back as he looks out across Seattle, was teased online earlier this year before being stuck up in a few select locations across the USA.
E L looks chuffed to bits in the sort-of-selfie, which she captioned with a simple smiley-face emoticon.
E L James (Twitter)
Production on the movie is continuing at full throttle, although the poster has arguably been unveiled a little early... as the film isn't actually due in cinemas until Valentine's Day weekend 2015.
The release date was originally August 1, 2014, but when Charlie Hunnam exited the leading role of Christian Grey, bosses had to scramble to cast Dornan and get production back on track.
The hunk stars alongside Dakota Johnson and an array of supporting actors including popstar Rita Ora in the movie, lifted from James' best-selling adult fiction books, which started life as Twilight fanfic.
Johnson said in an interview earlier this month: "I don't have any problem doing anything. The secret is I have no shame.
"Reading the book, I found myself more interested in the ways [Anastasia Steele and Christian] were breaking each other down emotionally than the sex scenes. I think there's a part of a woman that wants to be the thing that breaks a man down."

Not sure if it is really stopping faster, but the fact I can stop without prematurely locking up the rear tires is a big improvement in control.

Two of the men rounded up in Mantoloking last year as part of Dateline NBC's "To Catch a Predator" series Thursday accepted plea offers extended to all of the remaining defendants, calling for no more than 364 days in jail.

Publication Date: August 2003
Pages: 592
Source: Library
First Lines:
"When we were young, my little brother Phil and I shared the same bed. "SHARED" is the sugar-coated way of saying we were TRAPPED in the same bed, as we were children and had no say in the matter."
Back Cover:
Wrapped in the landscape of a blustery Wisconsin winter, Blankets explores the sibling rivalry of two brothers growing up in the isolated country, and the budding romance of two coming-of-age lovers. A tale of security and discovery, of playfulness and tragedy, of a fall from grace and the origins of faith. A profound and utterly beautiful work.
My Thoughts:
This is the first graphic novel that I've ever read, but it definitely won't be my last! I'd heard really great things about the book, and on my last trip to the library, I just so happened to come across a copy, so obviously, I picked it up!
Overall, I really enjoyed Blankets. Craig Thompson has managed to create a beautiful coming-of-age story that mixes together some of the most common issues all teenagers face. Divorce, family dynamics, first loves, fitting in, religion, and the difficulty in finding yourself all make an appearance throughout the course of the book.
My favorite part of the book would have to be a scene I found near the end. The main character, Craig, is walking alone through the snow and says such a beautiful line, I had to share it with you:
"How satisfying it is to leave a mark on a blank surface, to make a map of my movement, no matter how temporary."
I just loved that line! To me, it was a perfect expression of new beginnings.
Despite its 592 pages, Blankets is a quick read because it's a graphic novel. I would definitely recommend this to pretty much anyone who has an interest in it. ***However, there IS sexual content present in the book, so I'd recommend it only to mature readers, probably those who are 15 and up.*** Overall, I really enjoyed the book, and because it was different than the usual prose-style novel that I'm accustomed to reading, it was a great way to vary up my reading time!

A Southern lady bows out Adelaide Trigg leaves a genteel legacy
Monday, October 13, 2008
By KATHERINE CLARK
Special to the Press-Register
When Adelaide Marston Trigg died last week at age 89, she took part of Mobile's history and some of our Southern culture along with her. There was a time when I had hoped to interview her along with her sister, Eleanor Marston Benz, and concoct an oral biography as I had done with their close friend, Eugene Walter, and also with a black Alabama midwife. Adelaide and her sister were effortless raconteurs who played naturally and even comically off each other as a storytelling team. Together they bore witness to a fascinating kind of Southern Catholic girlhood I wanted to document. And Adelaide had been one of the founders of The Haunted Book Shop, a social as well as literary gathering place in downtown Mobile. She had hosted book-signing parties for Harper Lee, Truman Capote and even Thomas Mann. Then there was the family homestead, popularly known as Termite Hall, which began as an inn in the late 19th century and is now on the National Register of Historic Places. Adelaide and Eleanor had grown up there as children, later lived there together as adults, and Adelaide died there last week.
But this oral biography never came to be, partly because the sisters shared a strong reluctance for making their private lives public, even in the interest of preserving the past. It would have gone against their inclination and even their character to speak about themselves into a tape recorder wielded by a relative stranger. So I had little choice but to salute the gentility and delicacy that made them true exemplars of a kind of class that has nothing to do with money or social position.
And I would like to share my favorite memory of Adelaide Trigg, from the summer of 1989 when my oral biography of the midwife was published, and a producer for the Today Show came down to Mobile to supervise five days of filming for a segment on the book. This producer, Kristin Moore, was only a few years older than me, and we connected immediately. She had never been to Alabama, but she was captivated by Southern culture and loved Southern literature, especially the works of Tennessee Williams. Fearing that she might look for contemporary Mobile to be a stage set from one of his plays, I tried to streamline her expectations....

Christmas. Another American
soldier was killed today in an IED explosion. Meanwhile, at least 23
Iraqis were killed and 39 more were wounded in the latest violence. Also,

on Dec. 26 in Mosul. Their deaths had already been reported, but the details had
not been released until today. The troops had been on a joint patrol when, for
unknown reasons, the Iraqi soldier fired upon the Americans. Three
American soldiers and an Iraqi interpreter were wounded as well. The shooter
fled, but was later captured along with another soldier. It is believed that the
Iraqi had ties to a Sunni militant group that has yet to join forces with Coalition
troops as other militant groups have already done.

Monday News: Debates over fee access to digital lending; DIY bookshelves;...
Public Libraries News: Should Library ebooks be charged for? – "Against free library e-book accessible at home (Justin Tomlinson) Most publishers do not want e-book lending in libraries (DJ) therefore it's better to charge to get them on board otherwise libraries are going to be left behind (JT) This would "protect footfall" by encouraging people to go to the branches to lend ebooks. Model preferred by Justin Tomlinson is for ebooks only to be available for loan by going to the branch (JT) Charge for e-book lending profits would be divided between library and publishers. (JT)" Public Library News
This post contains pro and against charging for library lending of digital books. The Society of Authors chimed in and wants digital loans to be "controlled and limited". Honestly I don't know how I feel about a fee for lending from home. In some cases, people are borrowing from home because they are housebound (physically) or they come from homes where they work during most of the libraries' open hours. Maybe there could be a charge and then an application process to have the fee waived based upon a person's particularly circumstance?
25 Awesome DIY Ideas For Bookshelves – "These easy and clever bookshelves look so much cooler than anything you can buy from a store. Finding creative ways to display books can be just as alluring as any kind of art." Buzzfeed

I laughed and said he made too many but he reminded me that when we (okay Ned) built the shelves, I owned a few thousand paperbacks at the time. He then said, "thank god for digital books."
Avon increases brand awareness through the RWA Literacy Signing – Courtney Milan posted on her blog a notice for her readers that she can be found in section 1000 of the Literacy Signing at this year's upcoming Romance Writers' of America convention. The Literacy Signing is open to the public from 5–8 pm on Wednesday July 25. The publishers or, in the case of self published writers, the authors themselves, donate books to be sold. All proceeds go to a literacy charity. In every previous year for as long as I can recall, the literacy signing has been alphabetic. This year, however, the signing is underwritten by Avon, according to the RWA website and the seating chart. PDF here.
Whether it is a marked coincidence or quid pro quo, all the Avon authors are grouped together in five tables in the front entrance and center of the room. It appears that Avon is trying to increase brand recognition. The front cover emblem of Avon Romance is becoming more and more noticeable on the front covers of books as you can see by the on our new releases site. This is smart by Avon.
Why RWA decided to un alphabetize everyone else in the room, though, seems like a move to disrupt and confuse readers. I suspect that sales will be down this year as readers spend a lot of time trying to decipher the map and find the location of their favorite authors.
Special authors that are broken out include Nora Roberts, Jayne Ann Krentz, Barbara Freethy, Brenda Jackson, Robyn Carr, Victoria Alexander, Nalini Singh, Kristan Higgins, Jill Shalvis, Christina Dodd, Simone Elkeles and Sylvia Day. How these authors were picked to get break out tables over others, I know not.
How Much Does the Times Book Review Matter? – "The front page of the New York Times Book Review has always been—and continues to be—a much coveted spot for authors and publishers alike. But just how much does a Book Review cover affect a book's sales in today's publishing climate—does the revered paper publication still move units in the digital age? Using six lower- profile titles featured on the covers of two May issues of the Book Review, as well as numbers from Nielsen BookScan, which covers between 75% and 80% of print sales, PW found that the Gray Lady still has influence in the minds of readers, though not nearly on a big enough scale to seriously alter a book's fortunes." PW
The Agent as (Sort of) Publisher – "Diversion, like many of the endeavors agents have started (or become involved with), focuses almost entirely on digital, but does offer POD. The company launched with about 12 titles and has now published more than 60. The standard royalty split in Diversion contracts is 50/50. So what does Diversion do for half the proceeds from authors' titles? According to Cummings, quite a bit. "We spend a huge amount of time working with metadata," she said. That attention to metadata, which Cummings believes, is one of the key ways to sell an e-book that is not being supported by a traditional print marketing campaign. " This is a piece by PW on agents as publishers. While the opening suggests that there are legal and ethical concerns, most of the article is spent explaining that the agents are really offering a valuable service. And what about the ethics? One agent explains it this way "I don't think there's a conflict of interest when people are working on commission. The AAR [Association of Authors Representatives] canon says that our fiduciary responsibility is to our clients."PW
Egads. The statement by the agent on the meaning of fiduciary duty is frightening. Fiduciary law prevents an agent from double dealing or engaging in a conflict of interest. As Jason Ashlock said back in September 2011 :
The boundaries are clear — agents are disallowed from producing their own clients' works; managers are disallowed from negotiating on behalf of their clients whose work they are producing. There are loopholes and creative manipulations, of course (and the entertainment attorneys on Wilshire may reap the most benefit from this structure), but the talent — the writers — benefit from a degree of protection. Why more authors organizations aren't concerned about this is beyond me. Why agents don't have a better grasp on the law is also beyond me.
Amazon Once Again Working on a Smartphone – The Digital Reader – "Earlier today Bloomberg reported that they have 2 creditable sources who have told them that Amazon is indeed working on a smartphone. They said it's going to run Android and that it will be a phone, but that's about as far as the rumor goes. Amazon is supposedly working with Foxconn on the new phone, but that doesn't tell us anything. Fosconn is one of the largest manufacturers in the world, so saying that they're working on a phone is about as important as saying the phone will have a battery and a screen." the Digital Reader

Devin Hester scores his NFL-record 14th career return touchdown Monday. (Nuccio DiNuzzo/Tribune)
~I remember Hester's first season. Damn, he was exciting & watching him tonight shows he still got it! Go Brian!!! (watching now with 4:23 left~JP
MINNEAPOLIS — The Bears and Vikings took a break from complaining about the weather and field conditions to actually play the game Monday night at frigid TCF Bank Stadium.
With a NFC North championship within their immediate grasp, the Bears (9-4) tried to rise to the challenge of having 41-year-old quarterback Brett Favre declared active and then made the starter hours before game time. On Saturday, Favre had been declared "out" by the Vikings before improving dramatically in the next 24-48 hours.
The Bears boosted their lead to 40-14 on Robbie Gould's 20-yard field goal, his fourth of the game, with 7:04 left in the fourth quarter.
Devin Hester's NFL record-setting 14th career return touchdown, a 64-yard dash off a Vikings' punt, had increased the Bears' lead to 27-7 in the third quarter. Hester had shared the record with Brian Mitchell.

This full-bodied vegetarian sauce, thick with fresh carrots, celery, and soy is seasoned with a surprising burst of nutmeg. Serve over whole-wheat pasta for a nourishing and tasty meal.
- 1 carrot, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 stalk celery, cut into 1-inch pieces<
- 1 small white onion, cut into 8 pieces
- 1 8-ounce package tempeh (soy)
- 1 tablespoon margarine or olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 cup unsweetened soy milk
- 1 28-ounce can whole tomatoes with liquid
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1/8 teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg
- 12 ounces whole-wheat pasta
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
1. Combine carrot, celery, and onion pieces in a food processor. Pulse until chopped and slightly moist (so it looks like tiny bits of vegetables, not completely pureed). On a cutting board, finely chop tempeh until it has the texture of ground meat. 2. Melt margarine or heat olive oil in a Dutch oven or heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Add chopped vegetable mixture and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until vegetables soften. Stir in tempeh. Add white wine and simmer until liquid is evaporated, about 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add soy milk and simmer until mixture is soft and moist, about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. 3. Add tomatoes, tomato paste, nutmeg, and remaining salt. Break up tomatoes with a wooden spoon and bring to a gentle boil. Cook uncovered until the sauce thickens, about 20 minutes, stirring frequently to aid evaporation (the sauce will seem wet until shortly before it is done). Use immediately or cool. (Sauce will keep for three days, covered and refrigerated). 4. Cook pasta in salted water according to the package directions. Drain and divide among six serving plates. Spoon hot sauce over each portion. If desired, top with grated Parmesan.

Columbus, Ohio (AP) -- The Columbus School District has agreed to pay a half million dollars to the family of a 6-year-old boy who was struck and killed by a school bus outside an elementary school.
Police said the January 2007 accident happened when Asa Mayles left his grandmother's car and ran across the street in front of the bus. The first-grader later died at a hospital.
The school district's insurer will pay another $175,000, on top of the $500,000 the district will pay out of its general fund.
School District Counsel Larry Braverman says the family hadn't yet filed a lawsuit. He says the settlement, approved by the school board Tuesday, was reached to prevent the suit.
Asa's mother, Jessica Cruz, says she originally asked the district for $2 million, but settled for less to prevent the ordeal of a trial.

I go at it again, working the Hitachi on my clit and turn it up onto ***** When I cum, the stream of sweet nectar shoots straight out of my pussy, soaking my bed and sheets.

They asked for help after thieves broke in and stole all the toys and food for their charity. Now, a Lexington bikers club says an outpouring of donations has brought a brighter Christmas to many in need.
The Bopsters Motorcycle Club came roaring up to Shiners Hospital on Saturday, unloading two times more toys than they had before this week's burglary.
The Bopsters tell 27 NEWSFIRST many of the toys donated after the burglary were from disadvantaged people, barely able to afford gifts for their own families.
The bikers also delivered gift baskets with turkeys in them to needy families in the area.
Police arrested two brothers, earlier in the week, for stealing nearly $2000 worth of donations from the Bopsters.

Kathleen Lonski, Seventeen's 2013 Secret 'Mean Stinks' Contest Winner. Lonski, an East Brunswick High School student, recently won the Seventeen magazine and Secret 'Mean Stinks' contest with her original anti-bullying song 'Don't Let Them In.' She filmed a video at Seventeen's offices in the Hearst Building in New York City.

When Kathleen Lonski has had something to say, she has found her words take on more meaning when put into song. Most recently, a song the East Brunswick High School junior wrote about bullying attracted the attention of the annual Secret "Mean Stinks" and Seventeen magazine contest.
In their annual effort to banish girl-to-girl bullying, the companies partnered up and Seventeen asked readers to tweet an act of good for the chance to visit New York City and star in a video. Lonski was named the 2013 winner for her stance against mean by writing and performing her original song, "Don't Let Them ...

doors to create a rear exit and construct a new 10 ft. by 10 ft. wood deck
in the rear yard.
Daryl Poprave showed the location of the property on an aerial map and it is within the historic district. The petitioner is Terri Applegate and she would like to replace windows with a French door and put in a porch similar to the one in the front of the house. A certificate of appropriateness is required prior to construction. The standards used for review are federal and local guidelines. Care should be taken by the applicant that future occupants can remove the deck so it should be free standing. The deck should not be blocked off and painted to match. Staff would recommend that this certificate of appropriateness be approved.
S. MacKellar stated that Terri has been a good influence and this will be good for her property.
It was moved by S. MacKellar and supported by J. Black. The motion passed unanimously.
Public Comments
Mike Story,
D Deibert stated that they had discussions about adding lighting and signs to the districts consistent to the architect period. They heard back from City Council that it was their view that these type of changes would not normally be done so therefore, there would be an assessment to the district and that will be a topic of further discussion as time goes on. They will discuss that tonight. He suggested that the residents that live in the district put a letter together and submit it to the City Council.
Old Business
1. Sign – The last time we talked about it there was a discussion about a cost effective way to put a sign together.
They were waiting for the Wayfinding signs to show up and that was funded by Entranceways Initiative Task Force. The signs are the modern Alden B. Dow style. The group should try to get some private funding for a sign for the district. The commissioners should drive around town and see the signs. Some of the signs do recognize the historic district. They should try to match one of the colors on the entranceway signs. They would also like a logo on the sign and that will require some work. They should bring back some examples in July. They voted on a style of street signs at the last meeting. Sue will continue to work on that. They should use a historic color and maybe the green they are using in the Wayfinding signs.
J. Black stated that the green might
be too close to a street sign. Maybe the
green might blend in with the trees and not be as visible. There was a historically color that was
D Poprave can bring in some different colors. There will be limitations on the colors.
S. MacKellare asked if they will they need approval to change them?
They can get a recommendation from this board at the July meeting. Daryl will send out the colors to the residents in the packet for the July meeting. They are involving the residents.
Video –
D. Deibert is trained with
Sue asked if they are available to apply for a grant with the signs, lighting or the video project. They seem to come up to a brick wall because of funding. Maybe if they had a grant to help with some of these things instead of going to the district and asking for an assessment because it would benefit the whole community.
Is the city willing to do the signage? They will put an estimate together. The signs are what is going to take the most money.
R Osburn - do they need permission from City Council to apply for funding?
D. Poprave stated that he will talk to Jan McGuire about the procedure for funding.
If they are going to send a letter to the residents about the signage, should they also ask the residents if they would like to be in the video? Terri has contacted the residents.
D. Deibert and
New Business
a. Terri Applegate's commission position is open.
Daryl did send out a letter with the agenda to all 24 properties in the disrict stating he was looking for a resident to be on the board. One person did respond. It is a historic soceity representatives. Gary Skory will sponsor that individual.
Dick asked if they could send a thank you to Terri Applegate.
In your packet you have the flier, Downtown Midland is sponoring the seminar. There is a cost and there is limited seating so they would like you to RSVP.
The Certificate of Appropriateness was issued by staff for a brick patio and landscaping in the back yard. It was a great beautification project.
J. Black asked if anyone was interested in attending the Michigan Historic Preservationconference. Mr. Osburn went last year. This is the conference we get the most out of. This is a good training opportunity.

December 1, 2015
CHARLESTON, W.V. (AP) - An environmentalist and critic of West Virginia's mining industry says a new "Friends of Coal" logo on the hardwood basketball floor in the Charleston Civic Center is inappropriate.
Denise Giardina is a longtime opponent of mountaintop removal mining. She says sporting events shouldn't be turned into political events.
She tells the Daily Mail (http://bit.ly/ud4mBB) that being forced to stare at the logo during a game is like forcing a Democrat to stare at Republican ads.
But West Virginia Coal Association President Bill Raney says supporting tournaments and venues is an example of industry supporting the communities where it does business.
He says he wouldn't expect environmentalists to like anything his association does.
The association also sponsors the annual WVU-Marshall football game, which is known as the Friends of Coal Bowl.

My favorite beach in the world! Little Beach is AWSOME!!!
Sorry to say it but I have to, so maybe you'll get a clue... people like you are very disliked at Little Beach - and that's why you're hiding your phone. You're walking naked at the beach, so what? I'd be happy if people like you never come to Maui, your point of view pollutes the place up!!

No one wants to see that, so disappointing.

text: What occupant load to assign to accessory conference rooms or break rooms in a B occupancy less than 750 sq ft? There was a previous discussion which I can't find where the consencus was that the occupancy of these spaces should be at an Assembly rate instead of Business. I am convinced that the statements in 303.1 that such spaces shall be 'Business occupancy' do in fact pertain to the occupancy rate. Understanding that the table in 1004 dictates occupancy density the only way to determine if you are in an assembly or business space is via the definitions in chapter, which explicitly dictate these spaces to be Business. That makes sense with the limit being 750 sq ft since if you did populate the space at an assembly rate this would be the point where two exits are required. It also seems to be a way of the code recognizing such accessory spaces will have some of the occupants come from the main spaces. I'm outnumbered. Can anyone agree with me?

FINDLAY, Ohio -- It's important for parents and guardians to keep in mind that children can be particularly vulnerable to stress as a result of the recent severe storms and flooding.
"Children may suffer from anxiety because of disaster losses and the upheaval of family life," said Sandra Stephenson, MSW, MA, Director of the Ohio Department of Mental Health. "Most children bounce back quickly with social support and the aid of their families, but it is important to be aware of your child's reaction to stress and anxiety and to seek additional help if necessary."
Caregivers of children should be alert to signs of trouble and how to handle them. For children ages 5 or younger, watch for behaviors like crying more frequently than usual, clinging, having nightmares, showing excessive fear of the dark, fear of animals, fear of being alone, changing appetites, speaking with difficulty, or returning to outgrown behaviors such as bed-wetting or thumb-sucking.
Children aged 5 to 11 may exhibit increased irritability, aggression, and competition with their siblings for parental attention. They may also show anxiety through whining, withdrawing from their peers, and losing interest in normal activities. Those 11 to 18 may show outright rebellion, physical problems, or sleep disturbances.
The following suggestions may help to reduce stress in children:
- Spend some time each day giving each child your undivided attention, even if just for a few minutes. Share experiences. Reaffirm your love. Make plans together. Just "be there" for each other.
- Encourage them to talk. Encourage children to describe what they are feeling. Let them talk about the disaster and ask as many questions as they like. Listen to what they say. Assure them that the disaster was an act of nature and not caused by them. Include the entire family in the discussion if possible.
- Understand their fears. It is important that parents accept anxieties as being very real to children. Help them cope by getting them to understand what causes their anxieties and fears. Recognize their losses, such as their pets, favorite toys and other personal items. Reassure them that everything will be all right.
- Inform children. Make every effort to keep children informed about what is happening. Explanations should be in simple language. With children 5 or older, rehearse safety measures for use in case of future disasters.
- Reassure them. Parents can help reassure children by telling them they are safe, holding and hugging them frequently, restoring normal routines, providing play experiences for them, and making bedtime a special moment of calm and comfort.
- Encourage activities with their peers. As with adults, social time with friends is a very important part of the recovery process.
- Temporarily lower expectations for them. Allow for the fact that stress from the disaster can show itself in many ways over a period of time, and make appropriate allowances.
Through your persistence, children will realize life will eventually return to normal. If a child does not respond to the above suggestions, seek help for them from a behavioral health professional.

text: Ashley Judd Moves Closer to Senate Run Starts meeting with donors, strategists, politicians By Evann Gastaldo, Newser Staff Posted Feb 21, 2013 10:27 AM CST STORY COMMENTS (44) (Newser) – Ashley Judd has been meeting with Democratic donors, strategists, and politicians, as well as the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, as she moves closer to a Senate run in Kentucky, The Hill reports. At one meeting, a source says Judd promised a decision by May 6—the day the Kentucky Derby is held. A recent poll found her just nine percentage points behind Mitch McConnell, whom she'd be challenging. And Karl Rove's super PAC apparently considers her a serious candidate; it launched an attack ad against her earlier this month.

That is the only question that is germane to the Springfield sexual orientation ordinance No. 2012-226. It is not about homosexuality. It is not about religion.

That the San Francisco-based sextet can lock in and light up the speakers as powerfully as it does -- and with such seeming ease -- is a testament to its musicianship as well as to the power of soul-funk. That sound is based upon heavy-but-nimble bass, groaning analog organ and crisp drums playing as a single unit, and focused on that sweet spot in the meter that compels hips to sway and feet to shuffle. And while the genesis of this form is now decades past, contemporary acts like Monophonics prove that it's as fresh and relevant as ever.
To the core trio of bass/organ/drums, Monophonics add trumpet, tenor sax and rhythm guitar. When each member throws his spice into the pot, what comes out is always tasty.
