Jacksonville, AL (SportsNetwork.com) - J.J. Mann netted 19 points and grabbed eight rebounds as the Belmont Bruins cruised past the Jacksonville State Gamecocks, 76-53, in an Ohio Valley Conference clash at Pete Mathews Coliseum.
Reece Chamberlain scored 16 points, Craig Bradshaw chipped in 15 and Chad Lang added 11 for Belmont (23-8, 14-2 OVC). The Bruins finished the regular season as champions of the OVC East Division and on a six-game winning streak.
Brian Williams tallied 15 points to lead Jacksonville State (10-21, 4-12). Darion Rackley chipped in with 10 points and four assists in the loss, which was the eighth in a row for the Gamecocks, who end their regular season at 4-12 in the conference.
Belmont was scorching hot in the first half, netting 63.6 percent of its field goal attempts, including 6-of-10 from 3-point distance. The Bruins went into the intermission with a 43-27 lead after Jacksonville State connected on 47.1 percent of its shots from floor, and missed the only 3-point field goal the team attempted.
The Bruins didn't slow down at all in the second half, hitting 62.5 percent of their attempts from the field. The Gamecocks dropped down to 32.3 percent shooting in the period, and fell even further behind Belmont's already sizeable lead.
Belmont had the edge in points in the paint, 36-18, and had a slight advantage in points off turnovers, 17-15. Jacksonville State won the battle in bench points, 32-17.

Hi all I'm new here. Serious problem with my dad's Focus:
2001 Focus 1.8 Zetec Diesel
My dad's story is, he turned the engine off, and something clicked. He tried to turn it back on again, and at the 2nd click the interior light came and, flashing, and all the lights started flashing on the dashboard. The door locks, including the boot, all start clicking and theres a clicking from the engine.
The engine will not start and the door locks are doing ten to the dozen until you try and start the car again, then they stop.
Any ideas?
Hope someone can help!

check the main battery terminals are clean and tight.
Posted 23 September 2008 - 02:12 PM
it sounds like its the battery or the alternator, charge your battery and see what happens then? i had this problem with my fiesta, and had to change the battery, you could try jump start the car and if it keeps going it wont be the alternator, which means your battery just isnt holding the charge, so you might need a new one, unless you just need to clean the terminals.

It has been a LONG time since I have held a swap. In fact, I'm not sure I've even done one since the blog became Amanda's Musings! So, I am super excited to announce the Amanda's Musings Handmade Christmas Card Swap!
I love stationery, and Christmas cards are no exception. I have hosted this kind of swap before and it is amazing to see all the beautiful handmade Christmas Cards out there! It's a great way to support a handmade business, or you can get your craft on and make them yourself! A card swap is also great for those who want to spread Christmas cheer, but can't stretch to buying a gift.
This is a Handmade Christmas Card swap. Each person will send 3 Handmade Christmas Cards. The card you send MUST be handmade either by yourself or you have bought it from someone who handmade it. A handwritten festive greeting inside would be a great way to send some Christmas cheer. In other words, don't leave the inside blank!
Head to Swap-Bot and use the code: AMCardSwap to gain access to the swap page. Read through all the info and then fill in the form to join the swap. If you are not already a member of Swap Bot you will need to join up - it's free. The last day to sign up is November 30, 2012.
Partners will be assigned randomly through Swap Bot and an announcement will be made on Amanda's Musings blog when they have been allocated. PLEASE NOTE: You will receive from different people to who you send to.
All cards must be sent by Dec 7, 2012. If you are buying your cards, you may need to purchase them before the partners are announced to allow time for them to be delivered to you before you need to send them off. If for some reason you are unable to make the deadline, please be courteous and let Amanda know at email@example.com and she will let your partners know.
Once you have received your cards you can share photos of them on Instagram and Twitter using the hash tag #AMCardSwap. You can also share them on your blog, if you have one, and link it up with the linky code Amanda will provide in a future blog post on Amanda's Musings

I hope you join in! It's going to be SO much fun!

During a product briefing earlier this year, Mercedes-Benz told us that 2013 would be the "year of the S-Class." Makes sense, too, since the flagship Mercedes is so very close to finally showing its production-ready face. But the high-tech saloon isn't the only S-Class to talk about this year – quite the contrary. Seen here in decidedly revealing camouflage, the new S-Class Coupe will be joining its four-door compadre in the not-too-distant future, as well.

Nurses have long been advocates of alternative and complementary therapy, while the medical profession is only now beginning to appreciate what can be done with these therapies. This comprehensive handbook provides detailed descriptions of more than 100 commonly used alternative and complementary therapies. The book is divided into 3 parts with part one answering questions, part two discussing the impact of alternative medicine, and part three looking at the specific therapies. Some of the therapies that are described include traditional Chinese medicine, ayurvedic medicine, homeopathic medicine, biofeedback, yoga, electrical and magnetic fields, acupuncture, hydrotherapy, therapeutic touch and massage, and herbal medicines. This is an excellent resource on these therapies and one that a layperson will be able to understand. It is highly recommended for anyone who is interested in alternative medicine as a supplement to the professional medical assistance that they may now be receiving.
987. AIDS and Mental Health Practice: Clinical and Policy Issues, edited by Michael Shernoff. 1999. Haworth Press, 10 Alice St., Binghamton, NY 13904-1580. 381p., bibliog., index. (Haworth Psychosocial Issues of HIV/AIDS) ISBN 0-7890-0464-X. $34.95. (Descriptors: Patients; Mental Health; Psychological Aspects; HIV-Positive Persons)
This book is meant to provide "professionals in the field and students in training with the most current practice information about mental health practice and HIV/AIDS." The contributors all have expertise in working with people with HIV and AIDS and share their knowledge about cutting-edge clinical and policy issues. Much of the information contained in this book originally appeared in Reading and Writing, published by the National Social Work AIDS Network. "All people living with or affected by HIV/AIDS have enormous and complex mental health and social service needs due to the harsh realities of HIV disease, racism, homophobia, poverty, and the every-growing diminishing social services for the neediest people in our society."
Clinical issues covered include influence of combination therapies, support groups, death, spiritual issues, dying well, and bereavement; while policy issues include identifying and confronting racism, education of social workers, AIDS education, and coming out positive. The individual papers in this collection are well written and timely. They are well documented with long lists of references. For any social worker, medical student, or counselor, this would be an excellent book to read, providing a stepping stone for further study into some of the issues that are discussed. Highly recommended for all academic and medical libraries.
988. HIV Homecare Handbook, by Barbara Daigle, Kathryn E. Lasch, Christine McCluskey, Beverly Wancho. 1999. Jones & Bartlett Publishers, 40 Tall Pine Drive, Sudbury, MA 01776. 382p., bibliog., index. ISBN 0-7637-0703-1. $35.00. (Descriptors: Patients; Home Care; Home Nursing)
Home care for HIV and AIDS patients has changed dramatically with the introduction of protease inhibitors and combination therapy. HIV-related disease has changed from an acute disorder with a relatively sure prognosis to a chronic disease with an uncertain prognosis. "This handbook will facilitate the humane, effective, and efficient provision of home health care to HIV and AIDS patients and their families and caregivers." The contributors present years of experience and advice so that the patient and families can cope with a disease that has such erratic behavior. The 12 chapters cover: "Changes in HIV Homecare," "Evaluation and Treatment of AIDS Pain," "Nutrition-Related Issues," "Home Infusion Therapy," "Rehabilitation Options," "Family and Patient Education," "AIDS in the Family," "The Chemically Dependent Patient with HIV," "Cultural Sensitivity," "Ethical Issues in HIV and AIDS Home Health Care," "Care at the End of Life," and "Palliative Care in the Home."
The book is easy to read and intended not only for the caregiver but for the patient. The information and advice is well-founded and should be of great value to many individuals. This would be an excellent resource for public libraries but would be best used for individual use, to be picked up and read at any time.
989. Atlas of Infectious Diseases, by David R. Stone, Sherwood L. Gorbach. 2000. W.B. Saunders Co., Curtis Center, Independence Square West, Philadelphia, PA 19106-3399. 211p., illus. (most in color), bibliog., index. ISBN 0-7216-7032-6. $125.00. (Descriptors: Communicable Diseases)
This book is intended for the clinical professions and not intended for anyone who is squeamish in looking at color illustrations of how diseases affect various parts of the body. The text is minimal. The illustrations are outstanding, both in color and in black and white. The 11 chapters cover head and neck infections, pulmonary infections, endovascular infections, gastrointestinala and abdominal infections, sexually transmitted diseases, AIDS, infections of the skin and soft tissue, infections of the eye and orbit, infections of the central nervous system, mycobacterial diseases, and viral diseases. This should be an essential text for any medical library. Its method of presentation is outstanding, making it an excellent resource for any medical student or practicing physician.
990. Victory Deferred: How AIDS Changed Gay Life in America, by John-Manuel Andriote. 1999. University of Chicago Press, 5801 S. Ellis Ave., Chicago, IL 60637. 478p., illus., bibliog., index. ISBN 0-226-02049-5. $30.00. (Descriptors: History; Gay Men; Social Aspects; Gay Liberation Movement)
This well-written book "looks at how AIDS changed gay life in America in almost every conceivable way: culturally, medically, politically, and socially." Many books have presented views and information about particular aspects of AIDS among gays, but Victory Deferred is the first to provide first-hand accounts of how AIDS has impacted on gays. This book shows how gays, once detested and spit upon, banned together in the greatest hour of need to form community projects, education, and support for their own and made the rest of the country realize that they were far better humans than many of the do-gooders that had existed up to now. "In fact, to tell the story of gay people in the AIDS epidemic is to describe variations on the very theme that reverberates throughout human history: the brave few struggling against a powerful enemy as the silent majority chooses ignorance over involvement because they don't see themselves as personally at risk."
We have come a long way in confronting this crisis, in fighting bigotry, challenging the moral majority, fighting homophobia, and gaining the needed funding to find a cure. There is still a long way to go. There are still too many Reverend Phelps, too many hate groups, too many white supremacists, too many uneducated young people, and too little funding to fight AIDS in all parts of the world. Yet, gays have managed to cope very well and Andriote has done an excellent job in telling the story that has changed our lives in ever so many ways. Yes, he scolds those who are still oblivious to having safer sex. He is quick to point the finger at gays for not continuing to do more, even though new therapies look so promising. This book is a must read for every gay who has been touched by this epidemic and should be required reading by all young teens who think they never have to fear being infected with the virus. This is a highly recommended book for all libraries. It is well-written and easily read. You will marvel at what has been accomplished in the gay communities and be shocked at what has happened to gays in all walks of life because of this horrible virus called HIV.
991. Evolution of HIV, edited by Keith A. Crandall. 1999. Johns Hopkins University Press, 2715 North Charles St., Baltimore, MD 21218-4363. 504p., bibliog., index. ISBN0-8018-6150-0, 0-8018-6151-9pbk. $75.00, $34.95pbk. (Descriptors: Viruses; Evolution)
Since 1991, researchers have been amassing a huge HIV sequence database that is in turn used to do research on developing and effective vaccine or new drugs to combat this deadly disease. Through this database it is easier to understand the molecular biology of HIV and be able to chart its molecular evolution. The relationship between the phylogeneticist and the clinician has led to numerous collaborations, resulting in findings that are crucial for future research. "The purpose of this volume is to bring together these two groups of researchers to present articles on both the molecular biology and molecular evolution of HIV, integrating the two at every step." The target audience is both practicing HIV researchers and molecular evolutionary biologists.

992. She Came to Live Out Loud: An Inspiring Family Journey Through Illness, Loss, and Grief, by Myra MacPherson. 1999. Lisa Drew Book/Scribner, 1230 Ave. of the Americas, New York, NY 10020. 379p., bibliog., index. ISBN 0-684-82264-4. $25.00. (Descriptors: Death; Psychological Aspects; Terminally Ill; Psychology; Family Relationships; Loss)
This is not a book about AIDS or HIV but rather a book about a woman called Anna and her struggle with cancer. It is a story about an unusual family's struggle with cancer where we learn how people react to illness, loss, and grief. In this respect one only needs to substitute cancer with AIDS and the same reactions to illness, loss, and grief will be seen. "This book will touch us in very different ways. For some of us, it may remind us of the struggles we have experienced or witnessed. For others, it may reaffirm, help us rediscover--or, even, discover--our own strategies and strengths as we confront illness or loss."
Those who read this book will learn how families deal with young and teenage children who have a parent who is dying; how family and friends provide caregiving support; how anger and humor sustain us; how doctors will sometimes avoid death and often ignore dying patients; and why men and women grieve differently. This is a moving book that will bring tears to your eyes, yet it will enlighten you and help you cope with this situation when it may happen to you. A recommended book for all public libraries.
993. Health and Human Rights: A Reader, edited by Jonathan M. Mann, Sofia Gruskin, Michael A. Grodin, George J. Annas. 1999. Routledge, 29 W 35th St., New York, NY 10001. 505p., bibliog., index. ISBN 0-415-92101-5, 0-415-92102-3pbk. $80.00, $28.00pbk. (Descriptors: Public Health; Moral and Ethical Aspects; Human Rights; Health Aspects; Medical Policy; Human Experimentation in Medicine; Discrimination in Health Care)
Human rights and health are a constant concern throughout the world. Too often ethnic, religious, and racial issues interfere with human rights as does gender, political opinion, and immigration status, resulting in health care that really does not help those which it is suppose to help. Human rights violations exist and have to be constantly rooted out and brought to the attention of everyone. "Respect for human rights in the context of HIV/AIDS, mental illness, and physical disability leads to markedly better prevention and treatment." Public health and human rights deals with populations and prevention, recognizing "that discrimination and other violations of human rights directly impacts on health and well-being," and deals "directly with the underlying societal issues that largely determine who lives and who dies, when, and of what."
This book is a reader of previously published leading articles that provide a comprehensive introduction to the new and burgeoning field of human rights and health. The first part contains introductory essays on human rights and public health followed by a section that deals with the impact of health policies and programs on human rights. The next section discusses the health impacts resulting from violations of human rights, while the fourth section explores the linkage between health and human rights. The last two parts focus on medicine and humans and how to proceed from concept to action. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights; the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights; and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights are included in the appendices.
This is a thought provoking book that is intended to make the reader to sit up and take action. It is intended to open the eyes of those who have turned their heads away from the issues of human rights in favor of monetary gains or political advantages. This is a must book for all academic libraries and a must-read book for all researchers who study this complex issue that is ever present throughout the world.
994. AIDS and HIV in Perspective: A Guide to Understanding the Virus and Its Consequences, 2nd ed., by Barry D. Schoub. 1999. Cambridge University Press, 40 W 20th St., New York, NY 10011-4211. 274p., illus., bibliog., index. ISBN 0-521-62150-X, 0-521-62766-4pbk. $74.95, $27.95pbk. (Descriptors: HIV Infections)
This excellent book had outstanding reviews when its first edition was published. This second edition provides up to date information on the major advances of HIV infection and its control. It uses clear language and descriptive diagrams to explain the basic biology of the HIV virus and the immune system that it so lethally undermines. The outstanding value of this book is the way it has bridged the gap between the scientific literature and the public educational materials that are now available.
The 10 chapters cover "What is AIDS and How Does It Manifest Itself?," "The AIDS Virus," "The Disease Mechanisms of HIV," "The Transmission of HIV Infection," "The Anti-AIDS Drugs," "The Quest for the HIV Vaccine," "The Ethics of AIDS," "Measuring the Dimensions of the AIDS Epidemic--AIDS Epidemiology," and "Conclusion: Outlook for the Future." This is destined to be a landmark book, written for the educated layperson, providing a wealth of information that documents the past, present, and future of the epidemic. "Perhaps from the ashes of the AIDS epidemic may arise not only a vast knowledge of how to prevent and control persistent viral infections which attack the immune system, but also a new understanding and wisdom which will confirm to humankind that morality and expediency, pragmatism and justice, and utilitarianism and compassion are mutually beneficial goals, and also that disease and health bind all with the human family." This is a highly recommended book for all libraries.
995. Construction of Attitudes Toward Lesbians and Gay Men, edited by Lynn Pardie, Tracy Luchetta. 1999. Haworth Press, 10 Alice St., Binghamton, NY 13904-1580. 116p., bibliog., index. (Haworth Gay and Lesbian Studies). ISBN 0-7890-0590-5, 1-56023-942-5pbk. $29.95, $14.95pbk. (Descriptors: Lesbians; Public Opinion; Gay Men; Homophobia)
"This book developed out of work prepared for a symposium conducted at the 1996 Meeting of the Society for Community Research and Action, in Chicago, Illinois. Interest in the symposium and the book evolved out of shared concern regarding the need for positive transformation, at cultural and individual levels, in attitudes toward same-sex erotic relationships." The contributors feel that a deeper understanding of individual attitudes toward lesbians and gay men can be achieved by looking at the existing social and political systems for their "current ideological implications." The five papers that are presented here, include: "Relationships Between Homophobia, HIV/AIDS Stigma and HIV/AIDS Knowledge," "Contested Identity: The Law's Construction of Gay and Lesbian Subjects," "Homophobia in Academia: Examination and Critique," "Internalized Homophobia and Therapeutic Efficacy," and "Heterosexist Ideologies and Identity Development: A Transpersonal View."
These are interesting papers that provide the reader with a greater insight to the problems that gays and lesbians have in society as a whole. It reveals just how great an impact homphobia has on society. With the easy access to listservs that promote hate, gays and lesbians are even more vulnerable to discrimination, even though the laws are there but the individuals are afraid to come forward. This is a recommended book for all academic and large public libraries.
996. Canadian HIV/AIDS Policy and Law Newsletter, v.4, no. 2/3, Spring, 1999; v.4, no.4, Summer, 1999; v.5, no.1, Fall/Winter, 1999. Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network, 484 McGill St., 4th Fl, Montreal, Quebec H2Y 2H2, Canada. 117p., 80p., 56p., bibliog. ISSN 1195-5252, $12.00 per issue. (Descriptors: Legal Aspects; Policy; Canadian)
This newsletter is a summary of developments in HIV/AIDS policy and law in Canada and abroad. It strives to educate its readers about and inform them of policy and legal developments and to promote the exchange of information, ideas, and experiences. Topics covered in these 3 issues include: HIV/AIDS in Canadian Courts, Aboriginal People and HIV/AIDS, Pregnancy and HIV/AIDS, Criminal Justice, HIV/AIDS in Prisons, Employment, Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia, Blood and Blood Safety, Discrimination, and HIV Testing and Treatment of Children. This is an excellent newsletter that brings a wealth of legal and policy issues to the attention of all who read the publication. Highly recommended for all academic and law libraries.
997. Sexual Wisdom: A Guide for Parents, Young Adults, Educators, and Physicians, by Richard Wetzel. 1998. Proctor Publications, PO 2498, Ann Arbor, MI 48106. 338p., bibliog., index. ISBN 1-882792-59-9. $12.95. (Descriptors: Sexual Ethics; Sex Instruction; Sexual Hygiene)
Sexual morality is a hot topic in today's society. AIDS has provided many individuals with the ammunition to fight casual sex, gay sex, premarital sex, and a host of other kinds of sex as being unnatural. Dr. Wetzel has put together a book for these people. It is definitely not a book for everyone to read and agree with. It is not a book that this reviewer can recommend because of the many statements that suggest that the only true sex is the sex between a man and woman for the purpose of love and procreation. There is the suggestion that being gay is a chosen condition and that it can be changed. Nevertheless, in the spirit of not censoring some materials, this book is included for others to read and criticize, and, maybe, to agree with.
998. Caring for People with HIV: A Community Perspective, by Surinder Singh, Sara Madge. 1998. Ashgate, Old Post Road, Brookfield, VT 05036. 204p., bibliog., index. ISBN1-85742-397-6. $59.95. (Descriptors: HIV Infections; Care; HIV-Positive Persons)
HIV has become more and more a chronic condition, resulting in a much different approach and attitude as to how we care for those who are HIV positive than when it was first diagnosed. "The thrust of this change comes from better diagnostic and monitoring tests alongside more effective combinations of anti-retroviral therapies." This book highly recommends that the care of these individuals should be shared between HIV specialists centers and community service groups. This collaboration has resulted in better education to prevent infection and better care for those who are infected. There is still much to be done and many more cooperative ventures need to take place in order to get the message to everyone in such a way that it is understood and acted upon. We still have many groups of people who are ignorant or do not want to understand the consequences of being infected. We, also, have a whole new breed of people who feel that the new drugs will take care of any infection that they may have contracted.
This is a well-written guide or small textbook that provides much advice on the caring of HIV positive individuals. The 11 chapters cover: "The History of HIV Infection and Transmission," "HIV Prevention," "The Natural History of HIV Infection," "Meeting the Needs of People with Advancing Infection," "Mental Health and HIV," "The General Practitioner and the Primary Health Care Team," "The Hospital Team," "Drugs and HIV," "Change, Uncertainty and Complex Issues in HIV and AIDS," "Palliative Care of People with HIV and AIDS," and "Death and Its Related Processes." Although there has been even more advances since this book was written, it is still recommended for public and academic libraries. It would be a good introduction to the care of HIV positive individuals for counselors and caregivers.
999. Dry Bones Breathe: Gay Men Creating Post-AIDS Identities and Cultures, by Eric Rofes. 1998. Haworth Press 10 Alice St., Binghamton, NY 13904-1580. 352p., bibliog., index. (Haworth Gay and Lesbian Studies). ISBN 0-7890-0470-4, 1-56023-934-4pbk. $49.95, $24.95pbk. (Descriptors: Psychology; Identity; Gay Men; Attitudes; AIDS in Mass Media; AIDS in Literature; Proteolytic Enzyme Inhibitors; Gay Communities)
Eric Rofes is long-time activist and founder of the Boston Lesbian and Gay Political Alliance. He is the author of the landmark book: Reviving the Tribe: Regenerating Gay Men's Sexuality and Culture in the Ongoing Epidemic. He has published 9 books and numerous articles. In Dry Bones Breathe Rofes continues the debates that surround sex in the gay communities. During the early part of the AIDS epidemic, gay men changed their attitudes about sex as more and more of their closest friends were dying of this horrible disease. Activism was the word and a large number of them took up the cause to promote safer sex, more funding, education, and a more positive image. Now, with new treatments for combating the virus, the attitudes are changing again and the active groups are having to change their views in order to reach the individuals in a different way. From this book "you'll gain a deeper understanding of current community debates focused on circuit parties, unprotected sex, and gay men's sexual cultures, and you will learn how social, political, and biomedical changes are dramatically transforming gay identities and cultures." In other words, Rofes wants this book to be a wake-up call to every gay man around the world. The crisis is not over and will repeat itself if we let it.
It is suggested that long term prevention efforts must focus around something other than a crisis. AIDS activists complain about the diminished participation in AIDS activism, but Rofes suggest that these groups have distanced themselves from the reality of most gay men's lives. This is a must read book for every gay man who wants to live a long and productive life. It will open your eyes and make you realize that we are all very vulnerable to the virus and that we should not take down our guard. The style of writing is exciting, explicit, and openly frank. This is not a book for everyone but everyone should at least glance through it and maybe read parts of it. This reviewer will bet that every gay man will find a little bit of his life described in this book and will smile or blush when he does read it. A recommended book for all academic libraries.
1000. Drug Injecting and HIV Infection: Global Dimensions and Local Responses, edited by Gerry V. Stimson, Don C. Des Jarlais, Andrew L. Ball for the World Health Organization. 1998. UCL Press, 1900 Frost Road, Ste 101, Bristol, PA 19007-1598. 294p., bibliog., index. (Social Aspects of AIDS). ISBN 1-85728-824-6, 1-85728-825-4pbk. write for price. (Descriptors: Drugs; Social Aspects)
This book is the result of studying some 6,390 current drug users between October, 1989 and March, 1992 in Athens, Bangkok, Berlin, Glasgow, London, Madrid, New York, Rome, Rio de Janeiro, Santos, Sydney, and Toronto. The study has played a significant role in bringing attention to world leaders the extremely serious health consequences of drugs and HIV infection. "This book is testimony to the importance of linking research to intervention and policy making. It indicates the major benefits to be derived from comparative international studies." We know a great deal about drugs use and HIV infection but we now have the problem in convincing many countries around the world that intervention is necessary, can be successful and is cost-effective. The statistics in this book are of great value for researchers and the editors should be complemented on the great amount of information that is contained here. This is a highly recommended book for all academic and research libraries, providing much data for future research.

¡Muy bien, Mexico, y felicidades!
A consortium of Mexican conservation groups released Mexican wolves into the wilds of Sonoran last week. This was one of the primary goals of Mexico's President during his tenure. Mission accomplished! Hurray!
Mexican authorities released five Mexican wolves in the San Luis Mountains in Sonora, Mexico, on Oct. 12, 2011, approximately 80 miles south of Douglas, Ariz.This really is awesome news, especially with such mixed success in the U.S. recovery effort.
Mexico's desire to release wolves in Sonora as part of its recovery effort has been known for the past two years, although the exact timetable for release was unknown. (Via)
So, Suck it, Arizona Game and Fish Department. Try as you might, MEXICO IS A SOVEREIGN NATION! Ha! We're really glad that acts of intentional sabotage from a certain retiring Anti- Environmental Species Conspirator didn't stop this conservation success.
(More inspiring photos of the release can be found here.)

Just curious.
I wouldn't say insulting, but whenever someone mentions Tomlinson as LT within the context of his rushing, I do respond with "LT never ran the ball" or something along those lines.
I just refer to Tomlinson as BLT.
LT is a lot easier to say than Ladainian Tomlinson, so no.
No. I'd laugh (hard) if someone genuinely did feel insulted.
Gronk is bae. #RIP0820
Yes. Deeply, deeply insulted. The nerve of LaDainian Tomlinson's parents to give him a name with those initials... My God, I'm getting incensed just thinking about!
I remember an interview on a pre-game show with LT and he was asked if it bothered him. He said no, and that he's met L.Tomlinson and likes him.

Italian expatriate Massimo Capra is the Chef co-owner of Mistura Restaurant and Sopra Upper Lounge, two well-known restaurants in Toronto, offering fine contemporary Italian cuisine and live music venue.
Born near Cremona, Italy, Massimo climbed the career ladder by working in Italy's best restaurants and hotels. His culinary training began at the National Culinary Institute in Salsomaggiore, Parma and from there he moved on to the Trattoria dell' Amelia in Mestre, Venice, considered one of the best restaurants in Italy at the time. He spent several years in various Hotels such as Hotel Royal in Courmayeur, Val d'Aosta, a luxury class hotel at the foot of Monte Bianco, Hotel Savoy and Drei Tannen restaurant in San Martino di Castrozza in the dolomite. He worked for three years under contract with Gallia Hotels; staging between the entire properties which included the famous Excelsior Gallia Hotel and Cavour Hotel in Milan, Rio Envers Hotel in San Sicario an exclusive community in the Alps and the Excelsior Gallia Hotel in Punta Ala, a very exclusive community in Toscana.
Yearning to work overseas, Massimo boarded a plane in 1982 and landed in Toronto to work at, "Archer's," a restaurant owned by a relative, since Archer's was noted as a "social" restaurant, Massimo used his experience there to master the English language and his own style.
In 1989, he met Michael Carlevale of famed Prego della Piazza and was offered a position as chef. "Prego" became one of the most important restaurants in Toronto during his nine-year stay there. Working with Michael Carlevale, Massimo helped develop the concept of Carlevale's Black & Blue Restaurant and Byzantium.
In 1997, Massimo felt the urge for something different, and he merged forces with Paolo Paolini, formerly of Splendido Restaurant.
Mistura Restaurant was opened in October, 1997, to a very receptive public. The exclusive SOPRA UPPER LOUNGE is the latest addition to Massimo's list; since August of 2006 Sopra has become a favorite among many of Toronto live music lovers.
Author of "One Pot Italian" and the newly released "Three Chefs, the kitchen men", Chef Capra regularly writes regularly for "The Globe & Mail" Life section.
Currently Massimo is the brand ambassador for Samsung Home Appliances; he recently completed the opening of "Fraticelli Italian Grill" and is working on the re-branding of the famed restaurant "The Rainbow Room" in the Crown Plaza Hotel in Niagara Falls.
Massimo television work is lengthy and it includes appearances as a regular guest expert on City TV Cityline and as a chef host on the hit series Restaurant Makeover on the Food Network. He currently is developing a new show called Gourmet Escape and has appeared on several cooking shows including The Beer Buddies, The Movable Feast, Buddies of the Vine, Christine Cushing Live, Three Takes and many others.

In January, the government of Guam released the island's unemployment rate for September, which decreased to 10.9 percent. It was the lowest unemployment rate in three years, but still higher than the 7.9 percent national rate.
Clearly, much more needs to be done to address the high unemployment rate here, and elected officials can take steps to help with the problem.
To begin with, expand opportunities for residents to get job training that will make them more desirable to employers -- and not just for those who don't have jobs, but for those who want to progress from minimum-wage positions and menial labor.
For example, the GCA Trades Academy -- which has helped many residents in Guam and from the region learn construction trades -- once offered to help the government of Guam in exchange for space at Southern High School, where it could better offer opportunities to southern residents. Perhaps elected officials could revisit the offer, and trade the use of empty classrooms at Southern High for a set number of Trades Academy scholarships every year that could be offered to local residents.
Gary Hiles, chief economist at the Guam Department of Labor, attributed the decrease in the unemployment rate to an increase in jobs in the construction and tourism fields.
That highlights the need for our island to sustain and expand our visitor industry. To begin with, our community, including the government, must do more to ensure our parks, beaches, public facilities and other parts of the island are clean, to deliver on our promise of a tropical paradise. And the Guam Visitors Bureau must continue its efforts to diversify our visitor market, especially in Russia and China.
It also shows the need for elected officials to work to send a cohesive and clear message to Congress that Guam wants the military buildup to proceed, and to make efforts to expedite it. That will translate into more construction jobs in the short term, plus civilian jobs on the new Marine base for the long term. Plus, Marines and their families will patronize local businesses and eat at local restaurants -- not to mention the additional Section 30 funding it will mean for GovGuam.

November 27, 2015
A convicted sex offender registered on Monday in Colorado after being arrested for failing to do so last week.
Thirty one year old, Kenneth Mills, was first arrested on Wednesday after authorities from Maine alerted Grand Junction Police that they had issued an arrest for his failure to de–register in Maine.
After Mills bonded out, police investigated the case further and found out that Mills has been living in Grand Junction since December of 2006.
The Grand Junction P.D. is currently gathering information from Maine and sending it to the District Attorney and City Attorney for review. This will determine whether to designate Mills as a sexually violent predator in Colorado, which he was designated as in Maine.

The need for new Museum and Archives facilities was identified in the early 1980s. In 1999 Shetland Islands Council, which managed these facilities, asked Shetland Amenity Trust to take the project forward, as part of its remit is the provision of heritage and cultural services.
Shetland Amenity Trust took the opportunity to create a Heritage Hub - a multifunction visitor attraction which would form a gateway to Shetland's heritage and culture and link into Shetland's other heritage and cultural facilities, events and activities.
The B listed Hay's Dock, the last original part of the Lerwick waterfront, was chosen as the ideal site for the purpose built facility. The building was designed to sympathetically intertwine Shetland's past and present mirroring the design of the Lodberries - old merchant houses which once lined the foreshore - with the original boat building shed to one end and the iconic Boat Hall to the other.
Sustainable materials and traditional craftsmanship is evident throughout, resulting in some unique features, including a reception desk fashioned from ships timbers recovered from Hay's Dock. Discover more about our sustainable materials here.
The building and dock also feature a number of artworks, created as part of the Museum and Archives public art project. Find out more about this project here.
This project also commissioned a photographic record of the construction of the Museum and Archives. Click here to view a selected slideshow as well as the full 625 image archive. All images are © Mark Sinclair, Phatsheep Photography.

2011 Recipient | AIA Institute Honor Awards for Architecture
New Acropolis Museum | Notes of Interest
Located in Athens's historic Makryianni district, the New Acropolis Museum stands less than 1,000 feet southeast of the Parthenon, at the entrance of a network of pedestrian streets that link the key archaeological sites and monuments of the Acropolis.
The site presented unique challenges, such as the need to accommodate a large existing structure, the 19th-century Weiler Building, as well as Athens' largest ongoing archaeological excavation and the nearby entrance to the city's subway. Additionally and importantly, the site is located in a hot climate in a major seismic zone, requiring state-of-the-art technology to protect visitors, staff, and the irreplaceable artifacts of the Museum collection.
The building was designed in three layers, two of which follow the city grid and existing and ancient pathways. The top-floor Parthenon Gallery, designed to display the Parthenon sculptures, is rotated 23 degrees and dimensioned to approximate the size, orientation, and viewing conditions of the historic Parthenon.
The Parthenon Gallery's glass outer walls allow visitors uninterrupted, 360-degree views of the ancient temple and the surrounding city. Its transparent enclosure provides ideal light for sculpture in direct view to and from the Acropolis, using the most contemporary glass and climate control technology, engineered with a view to sustainability, to protect the gallery against excessive heat and light. One of the goals of the topmost gallery is to eventually reunite the elements of the Parthenon Frieze, currently dispersed among several world museums.
The New Acropolis Museum is surrounded by 75,000 square feet of landscaped green space. Other program facilities include a 200-seat auditorium, a café overlooking the archeological excavation, a store, and a museum restaurant with a public terrace commanding views of the Acropolis. The Museum is fully accessible to people with physical disabilities.

Jury Comments
The building rotates in plan to fit the site while the archeology still remaining does not try to be an overstatement and compete with the Acropolis.
Not a light building – it is very contextual and powerfully respectful of the urban fabric of Athens while doing a dance around the ruins.
The sculpture from the old museum is much more dramatic than in the old setting with the screen walls and slab edges remaining contextual to the neighborhood and city.

|I am finally reading Last in their Class. I am loving it . I have learned so many things I did not know before about West Point and the graduates.
One issue that I found very interesting is that the imortals (the lowest ranked cadets) may have chosen to be there and worked hard to stay in the bottom and still graduate so they could become cavalry instead of Engineers. They wanted the fast paced life in the saddle and in battle as opposed to doing Engineering.
Another issue brought up and explained by the author was Pickett's charge may have been attempted as it had worked before for him in the Mexican War . I had never read this before and found it very interesting .
The antics of the cadets kept me laughing though part of the book. The deeds of the men later as soldiers was impressive.
I can just see Heth and Burnside pulling off the stunts they did at West Point. Burnsides corrupted by Heth instead of Burnside reforming Heth as orginally planned.
I was amazed at how many men who were roommates at WP became leaders in opposition later on in the Civil War .
Going to read Class of 46 after this to round out West Point study.

Usage Discussion of MEDIUM
The singular media and its plural medias seem to have originated in the field of advertising over 70 years ago; they are still so used without stigma in that specialized field. In most other applications media is used as a plural of medium. The popularity of the word in references to the agencies of mass communication is leading to the formation of a mass noun, construed as a singular <there's no basis for it. You know, the news media gets on to something — Edwin Meese 3d> <the media is less interested in the party's policies — James Lewis, Guardian Weekly>. This use is not as well established as the mass-noun use of data and is likely to incur criticism especially in writing.
Examples of MEDIUM
- These shirts are all mediums and I take a large.
- Make my French fries a medium.
- Her preferred medium is sculpture.
- The artist works in two media , pencil and watercolor.
Origin of MEDIUM
Latin, from neuter of medius middle — more at mid
First Known Use: 1589
Related to MEDIUM
- Synonyms
- golden mean, mean, middle, middle ground, midpoint
Rhymes with MEDIUM
: in the middle of a range of possible sizes, amounts, etc.
of meat : cooked to a point that is between rare and well-done
Full Definition of MEDIUM
: intermediate in quantity, quality, position, size, or degree
Examples of MEDIUM
- These T-shirts are available in three sizes: small, medium, and large.
- a person of medium build
- How would you like your steak, sir: rare, medium, or well-done?

Vestas Turbine Catches Fire At Ontario Wind Farm
NAW Staff, Wednesday 03 April 2013 - 14:46:13
A Vestas V-80 turbine caught fire on Tuesday at the Kingsbridge 1 wind farm, located north of Goderich, Ontario.
Alberta-based utility Capital Power, which owns the 40 MW wind project, says no one was injured and no public property was damaged. The wind farm comprises 22 Vestas V-80 turbines, but the fire was contained to a single machine. The utility says Vestas is on-site and an investigation is under way.
This incident comes about a week after a Vestas V52 850 kW wind turbine
at the Loughderryduff wind farm, located in Donegal, Ireland. Last year, a Vestas V112-3.0 MW caught fire at a
German wind farm
, and the company later
the issue to a loose connection that resulted in an arc flash.
