I don't often use the superlative 'masterpiece' when describing movies but Andrei Tarkovsky's 1979 film Stalker warrants such a descriptor. This enigmatic allegory that routinely finds its way onto 'Best Of' lists was almost never made due to the careless corruption (it has been suggested that Soviet authorities were responsible for the film's destruction) of the original film stock, which then forced its brilliant director to reshoot most of the film a second time even as his health declined. Stalker, a parable film known for its long, beautifully developed scenes and cryptic plot, delves as deep as any film before or after into the murky, existentialist terrain that one finds in the cinematic work of masters Robert Bresson and Ingmar Bergman (Tarkovsky's major influences). One of the most gorgeous films you will watch, Tarkovsky blends vibrant colors with sepia toned silver, with each shot meticulously filmed and edited to emphasize both nature's beauty and its mysteries. The film's three characters (the Stalker, the Writer, the Professor) journey into a mysterious, quarantined off area referred to as The Zone for different reasons. Rumors abound of a secretive room that exists at the heart of this depopulated area that Soviet authorities have surrounded and barred entrance. The room will allegedly grant you a wish of your making. The Stalker, who is paid by The Scientist and the Writer to sneak them past the Soviet guards into The Zone may or may not be who he says he is. With a famous ending that rewards the patience of the viewer, Stalker is like no other film you will experience.

Tarime member of Parliament Nyambari Nyangwine (CCM) has called on the government to table in parliament results of investigations conducted by the National Environmental Council (NEMC) into River Tigite due to contamination of its water by the North Mara Gold Mine which affected Nyamongo villagers in Tarime district, Mara region.
He said it was almost a year and a half since NEMC took water samples from River Tigite but the results of the investigations were yet to be released. He also wanted the government to pay compensations to the affected villagers and take measures against the mine operators.
Responding, Energy and Minerals deputy minister Gersson Lwenge said the government on July 1, 2009, ordered the mine to stop directing water into River Tigite. He said the management had already started constructing a water treatment plant.
He however said the mine, in collaboration with the Lake Victoria Basin, was continuing with a programme to check the quality of water in identified areas to avoid further contamination. He said an environment impact assessment (EIA) was conducted but an impact environmental audit was done frequently.
"The mine has fixed special liners which prohibit water contamination," he said.
He said that in May 2009, the government was informed of water contamination at Tigite River due to chemical leakages from the North Mara Gold Mine. The government then took a decision to take water samples from the river for investigation.
He said the research investigations failed to give proper records of the number of people and animals affected by the river's water.
Lwenge explained that North Mara Gold Mine, in collaboration with Tarime district authorities, implemented different development projects, including the improvement of social services for the villagers surrounding the mine.
He said the residents of Nyamongo village had access to clean and safe water from a special water scheme constructed by the mine from River Mara. He advised Tarime district authorities to collaborate with the mine in constructing deep water wells.

NCSE's Scott at Innovation 2008
NCSE's executive director Eugenie C. Scott spoke on science education at the Innovation 2008 conference, and video of her talk is now available (from 7:40 to 27:15) on-line.
Ayala profiled in Scientific American
NCSE Supporter Francisco Ayala was profiled in the November 2008 issue of Scientific American. "After some 30 years of proselytizing about evolution to Christian believers, the esteemed evolutionary biologist at the University of California, Irvine, has honed his arguments to a fine point," Sally Lehrman writes. "The 74-year-old Ayala is preparing for an exceptionally busy 2009. The year marks the bicentennial of Charles Darwin's birthday and the sesquicentennial of the publication of On the Origin of Species, and the battle over the teaching of evolution is sure to heat up. Ayala says the need is especially great for scientists to engage religious people in dialogue."
Welcome to the new edition of our website, featuring news, information, and commentary about all aspects of the creationism/evolution controversy. We hope you will find our resources valuable and interesting. If you have comments, please send them to: webmaster at ncseweb.org

NCSE's Scott receives award from the Field Museum
On October 10, 2008, NCSE's executive director Eugenie C. Scott was presented with the Field Museum's Award of Merit at a ceremony at the museum, where she gave a talk, attended a gala dinner, and received a $7500 honorarium for NCSE. The award is presented by the Field Museum's Founders' Council each year to "a leading scientist who has brought issues of cultural and environmental understanding to the forefront of public attention." Previous recipients include NCSE Supporter Stephen Jay Gould, Edward O. Wilson, James Watson, Richard E. Leakey, Jane Goodall, NCSE Supporter Lynn Margulis, Walter Alvarez, and NCSE Supporter Niles Eldredge.
Project Steve: n = 900
With the addition of Steven K. Nordeen on September 5, 2008, NCSE's Project Steve attained its 900th signatory. A tongue-in-cheek parody of a long-standing creationist tradition of amassing lists of "scientists who doubt evolution" or "scientists who dissent from Darwinism," Project Steve mocks such lists by restricting its signatories to scientists whose first name is Steve (or a cognate, such as Stephanie, Esteban, Istvan, Stefano, or even Tapani -- the Finnish equivalent).
NCSE and the Grand Canyon 2009
Explore the Grand Canyon with Scott and Gish! Seats are now available for NCSE's next excursion to the Grand Canyon -- as featured in The New York Times (October 6, 2005). From July 3 to 10, 2009, NCSE will again explore the wonders of creation and evolution on a Grand Canyon river run conducted by NCSE's Genie Scott and Alan ("Gish") Gishlick.
Catching up with RNCSE
Selected content from volume 27, numbers 5-6, of Reports of the National Center for Science Education is now available on NCSE's website, featuring reports on a disastrous excursion for "intelligent design" in Oklahoma, developments in the Answers in Genesis schism, and the failed attempt to earmark $100,000 in taxpayer funds to a creationist organization in Louisiana. Additionally, RNCSE's editor Andrew J. Petto considers "The History of Life as a Walk in the Park" -- with color photographs of J.
Help wanted
NCSE seeks a communications coordinator, who will be responsible for NCSE's overall communications strategy, reporting to the executive director. Tasks include:
Catching up with RNCSE
Selected content from volume 27, numbers 3-4, of Reports of the National Center for Science Education is now available on NCSE's website, featuring Joe Felsenstein's "Has Natural Selection Been Refuted? The Arguments of William Dembski." Felsenstein concludes, "Dembski argues that there are theorems that prevent natural selection from explaining the adaptations that we see. His arguments do not work. There can be no theorem saying that adaptive information is conserved and cannot be increased by natural selection. ...
See the Grand Canyon with Scott and Gish
Due to last-minute cancellations, there is a spot (and possibly two spots) open on NCSE's 2008 Grand Canyon excursion -- as featured in The New York Times (October 6, 2005). From July 30 to August 6, 2008, NCSE will again explore the wonders of creation and evolution on a Grand Canyon river run conducted by NCSE's Genie Scott and Alan ("Gish") Gishlick.

It's good for you but is it good for us?
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Cartographers' Guild!
I am pleased to inform you all that due to the popularity and relevancy of this site, we have been bought out! Last week, I began discussions with an "unnamed but interested" party to place a value on the website. I assure you I valued this community extremely high, and then the "unnamed but interested party" made me an offer that I could not refuse!
I have been told that I should not release the name of the buyer, because for marketing reasons I believe they intend to turn this website into one of their products. They have their own marketing strategy set aside for this purpose, and I'd hate to ruin it.
But sometime today, the board may go down for a database export and transition to the new owners. In the meantime, I'm going to go buy a new car!

I did a search through some recent business websites and discovered the name of the (big!) multimedia company that bought the site – and how much they valued it. Whilst I am glad that you managed to make so much money, I am very disappointed that this site is now being commercialised in this way. Although the article stated that commercial elements (subscription, commission, advertising etc.) would not be brought in until after the summer, I am extremely upset and feel like the entire community has been betrayed. I for one will be turning to the new google-maps feature MapQuest for my mapping needs from now on.
First of all congratz! You put a lot of effort in this for years and really deserve this!
I'm very curious however what this means for the guild and whether it will be linked to some company ... Until now the CG was sort of a 'brand', and I made some (albeit small) donations help keep this up and gladly freely posted most of my maps to the site, as I knew it was in good hands... But now that it is being sold, I'm not sure what to make of it ... Maybe you guys could elaborate a bit more on what this means for the members and the guild...?
cheers, DJ
edit: wow, I also did find that website, and it almost sounds too good to be true indeed!

Charges have been dismissed against a former Highway Patrol trooper and a registered nurse in an alleged prescription drug scheme that saw six people indicted.
The U.S. Attorney's Office says no reason was given in court for why the cases against former Sgt. Kevin Owens and Arron Jones were dropped.
The two were among six people arrested in Beaufort County last April.
Owens had been charged with obtaining alprazolam and zolpidem tartrate by misrepresentation, fraud and deception as well as aiding and abetting, while Jones was indicted for obtaining phentermine, alprazolam and oxycodone by misrepresentation, fraud and deception.
In January, two others in the case, Anna Moore and Lori Melton, had their charges dropped as well. Former Washington police officer Justin Mixon pleaded guilty to one count last October, while Amanda Bunch, a registered nurse practitioner, is still awaiting trial.

The Tarbrush Café, also called Tarbrush Coffee, is a café chain from GTA III and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City based on Starbucks Coffee. In the mission Cop Land in GTA Vice City, Tommy Vercetti has to blow up the café in the North Point Mall. In Vice City Stories, the unit at the mall has been converted to a men's clothing store called T&A Men. Its name is based on Starbucks.
In the game Manhunt, three Tarbrush Cafe stands are came across. One was located in the abandoned mall, one in the chemical plant and one in the 54th Street Subway Station.
- Though many think that the Bean Machine is Tarbrush Cafe's successor, there is a restaurant in Westdyke. At first glance at the restaurant on Flathead Road it says Coffee Shop in generic font. But there are tables around the entrance of the restaurant that say Tarbrush Cafe on them.
- In a office in the back of Cop Land, there is a obtainable Katana.

Charms is a subject taught at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Unsurprisingly, it specialises in the teaching of charms such as Wingardium Leviosa, Accio and Aguamenti. Professor Filius Flitwick has taught Charms for many years. It was rumoured that his expertise with charmwork made him a duelling champion. Though mastering the science of charmwork is clearly essential to performing the greater part of magic, charmwork is seen as a "softer option" by some such as Augusta Longbottom who, incidentally, failed her Charms O.W.L. [1]

Class information
- "They then spent over an hour revising Summoning Charms, which according to Professor Flitwick were bound to come up in their OWL, and he rounded off the lesson by setting them their largest ever amount of Charms homework."
- —Charms Class in 1995[src]
Charms is a required subject for all students in their first five years at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The spells learned in Charms class are taken from textbooks. Students are taught specific wand movements and proper pronounciation. Often students partner up in class to experiment on one another. Charms was Hermione Granger's favourite subject until she started Arithmancy in 1993. [2] Professor Flitwick was one of the kinder teachers at Hogwarts. Harry, Ron, and Hermione often enjoyed a "nice chat" in this class. This was the class where they used the Muffliato charm as well. Harry was on at least fairly good terms with Professor Flitwick, as he spoke with Harry Potter about his Accio charm he used in the Triwizard Tournament.[3] Sometimes, Professor Flitwick, after trying and failing to get the class to concentrate, would allow the class to play games. One of these instances was just before the Yule Ball.

Behind the Scenes
- J. K. Rowling stated: "I see Charms as a slightly lighter subject than transfiguration which is very hard work. With Charms there would be a little more leeway for a little more personal creativity – transfiguration you have to get it exactly right, transfiguration is more scientific.[6]
- In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7, Lavender Brown, Draco Malfoy, Vincent Crabbe, and Gregory Goyle all appear to have passed their O.W.L.s, despite the fact that they weren't mentioned to have done so in the books.

- "You try paying for a high-end one of these - and alimony."
- — GTA Vice City Website
The Sentinel XS is a sportier variant of the regular Sentinel luxury car in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V. The car is related to the Mafia/Leone Sentinel, gang car of the Leone Family in Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.
GTA III - GTA Liberty City Stories
Ever since the Sentinel's introduction in GTA III, a sportier variant has been present in every GTA game, excluding GTA San Andreas. In GTA Vice City Stories, the Sentinel XS is the preferred gang car of the Mendez Cartel. The Sentinel XS's main visual distinction from the regular Sentinel is its spoiler and rear window louvers; performance-wise, the car is faster than the regular Sentinel. The Sentinel XS in GTA Vice City and Vice City Stories are suggestively based on the 1984-1986 BMW M5, although the car, like regular Sentinels, is still visually similar to the E23 7 Series BMW, which has not been used in the BMW M series. In GTA Vice City Stories, the Sentinel XS is not given the same aesthetic modification as the game's Sentinel, resulting in the car appearing more distinctive in the game. The Sentinel XS has a different engine sound than the regular Sentinel.
GTA IV features an updated Sentinel XS, made by Übermacht, however it is no longer considered a distinct vehicle — it handles with more rigidity as its suspension has been hardened so it corners sharper and drifts are now easier compared to the standard Sentinel but still does the same impressive speed of 190mph (304kmh). the game refers to the car simply as "Sentinel" when entered. In a nod to the Mafia Sentinel of GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories it serves as one of two cars (the other being the PMP 600) that are usually driven by the Mafia. Its visual differences include "XS" badging, and a rear spoiler sporting "STD" decals. STD stands for "Sentinel Tuning Division", a play on Subaru's STi marque (odd because this vehicle does not at all resemble a Subaru) and BMW's in-house tuning division, BMW M, but also a reference to the acronym for "sexually transmitted disease". The "XS" also sounds like "excess," which may be a jab at BMW (or any other luxury/sport marque) drivers who buy their sport-tuned cars overloaded with driver aids and unneccesary luxury features. The features of the GTA IV Sentinel XS emulate the 2002-2004 BMW M3 CSL.
- GTA Vice City
- Spawns in a parking lot near the Escobar International Airport terminal building.
- Spawns frequently around Escobar International and in front of Sunshine Autos.
- GTA Vice City Stories
- Two Sentinel XSs appear outside the Mendez Mansion in Prawn Island.
- Spawns behind one of the northern most hotels at Ocean Drive in the long alleyway.
- Spawns at a building very near to the empire site at the west of Vice Point Mall. In the front of it there is an entry to the Vice Point Mall.
- Occassionally found in Viceport.
- The Sentinel XS will appear in all the places where the standard Sentinel does, but is significantly rarer.
- Appears more commonly if the player is driving a Sultan RS.
- As it serves as a gang car for the Mafia, the Sentinel XS will often appear in Little Italy, Chinatown, and Westdyke (helps if in Sultan RS).
- Seen driven by Ancelotti Members in She's a Keeper; however, you must stay in your car to avoid mission failure.
- During Out of Commission, the final mission in the revenge story arc, the Sentinel XS is used as roadblocks during the casino shootout. This Sentinel XS is special, having a unique yellow luster effect.
- Sometimes spawns on the stretch of road outside the safe house in Party Mode.
Grand Theft Auto V
Notable owners
- The Mendez Brothers in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.
- Amanda, Michael's wife in Grand Theft Auto V, owns a Sentinel XS.
- The Sentinel XS plays the following radio stations by default when entered:
- Liberty City Hardcore and Liberty Rock Radio in GTA IV.
- In Grand Theft Auto V, according the december issue of GameInformer, Protagonist Michael's wife Amanda drives a Sentinel XS.

Five years ago today, UNC-Chapel Hill's student body president, Eve Carson was murdered.
Police said on March 5th, 2008, Carson was spotted by Laurence Lovette Jr. and Demario Atwater.
Prosecutors said early that morning, the two young men took 22-year-old Carson in her 2005 Toyota Highlander to ATMs to withdraw money from her bank account.
Prosecutors said later, she was driven to a wooded area nearly a mile from the UNC campus and shot five times.
Atwater plead guilty in the case in May of 2010.
In December of 2011, Lovette was found guilty of first-degree murder in the case.
Both were set to serve life sentences without the possibility of parole until February of 2013, when the North Carolina Court of Appeals ordered a new sentencing for Laurence Lovette.
Since Lovette's conviction, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a mandatory sentence of life without the possibility of parole cannot be allowed for a defendant under age 18 when the crime was committed.
Carson was in a pre-med program at UNC on a Morehead-Cain Scholarship. The Athens, Georgia native has a standing scholarship at the university in her name.

| QuickVFD
Votes for deletion
|del log
This is where you can put pages that are so blatantly crappy that they don't need to go through a long voting process to be deleted. This includes pages that are just one unfunny sentence, and pages that are plagiarized (include a link to the original source). The goal of QuickVFD is that pages here will be deleted on the same day that they are posted.
- If the article is not quite delete-on-sight (and less than a week old) use the {{ICU}} template, but make sure that you know how to use ICU correctly by fully reading the instructions.
- Funny one-liners can be flagged for a move to Undictionary by adding the {{MTUsign|~~~~~}} tag or converting them yourself
- In some cases, a collection of short stubs (such as a large group of short, individual city or regional descriptions for one country) can be combined to create one new article.
- It may also be possible to add the content from a very short article to another article on a similar subject.
Notes for posting:
- VFD rules still apply: Uncyclopedia:Deletion Policy
- Because of the nature of QuickVFD, you should not add any type of template or notice to the page.
- Put the newest pages at the top of the section for the day that you post.
- If you have more than one page at a time, put a space at the beginning of each line to make a box around it.
- Try to keep discussion out of the box, by not putting a space at the beginning of the line.
- Do not sign QVFD nominations. It just takes up space and annoys people.
- List redirects using {{redirect}}, e.g. {{redirect|Stupid page}}.
- If requesting old versions of images be deleted, make it clear you do not want all revisions deleted. Prefix with
'''Old version(s) of this image:'''for example (or at least do not have the image link as the first part of the line).
- Please don't add articles with expired NRV/ICU tags to this page; it has a separate process and putting it here is just clutter. Instead, bother some admin to do some maintenance.
- To add categories or images, add a : to the start of the link; this way, this page won't be infected.
- e.g. [[:Category:Namehere]] or [[:Image:p0rn.png]]

Notes for Administrators:
- Remember to check the page's history before deleting.
- Because the goal is to keep things quick, signing after deletion is not necessary.
- If you keep a page, please note why it was kept - (stubbed), (ICU), (Expand), etc.
- When archiving QVFD pages, please remember to de-link entries. This is done to prevent recreation of deleted articles as well as reduce a backlog of unwanted articles on Special:WantedPages.
How to quickly find QVFDable articles (using special pages):
- Check Special:BrokenRedirects. This shows redirects to non-existent articles, which just clogs up the wiki.
- Check Special:Newpages. A lot of the most recent stuff will be crap.
- Check all the recent edits by anonymous users. They can't write worth crap.

Why don't you go for a simple hand drawn monochromatic map? We haven't got one of those, and it'll look pretty effective. I really fancy doing one myself!
hey folks. i know it's been a while since i was seen here, but i've been working on this area and i haven't gotten a result that i like yet. i've had four or 5 ideas that haven't panned out and i'm still going through the motions when i can get time between work and moving.
i'll post a WIP later today, but right now i'll show you what it looks like. we'll see....
this isn't one of my better works. i know now that the rivers are too wide, the mountains look like crud, and i have no idea what to do about any of it besides scrap the whole thing and start over. AAAAUGGGRRRR!!!!! i wish i was an artist and not a hack!
i know there are dozens of things wrong with this one. give me a clue, somewhere to start, a direction maybe. i'm out of ideas, maybe you folks here can give me something.
Why don't you go for a simple hand drawn monochromatic map? We haven't got one of those, and it'll look pretty effective. I really fancy doing one myself!
you know, i was just thinking that way myself. time to get out the drafting pens....
update to follow.
Shoot! I definitely need to get back to the drawing board or I'll be handing in "too late" (I also intent drawing by hand). I'm exaggerating, of course.
Two in harmony surpass one in perfection
so bad news everyone...
i apologize for any problems this may cause, but i am sad to announce my departure from this project. my life has become so busy right now that i cannot devote the time to this or any other projects for the near future. I have to move, and that comes with resultant headaches and stresses, work has just overburdened me with another 20 hours a week on top of the 45 i was already doing, and a new production has begun. "Glengarry Glen Ross" has started rehearsals and the nights i would have to design maps are going toward that endeavor.
once again i am sorry to you all. anyone who wants to continue this area please do so. thank you for all your understanding in this matter.
i'll still check back from time to time, but i have no time for drawing any maps....
Sorry to hear it, tm, but do keep checking back and I hope things become less hectic for you. Enjoy the roar of the greasepaint and the smell of the crowds and be well.
Sorry as well, but best of luck in your future endeavors. We will of course, be here when you get back.

Sorry to hear. Anyways, like Neon said it: I believe there will be work for you to be done here (;-)) when you get back to mapping. It's just the type of map that changes.

I'm also sorry to hear that TM, but I understand fully. There will always be a place for you so if and when, just shout.

Ok, so I figured I would get a place holder up in in case someone wants to do any mapping for the June contest.
Charnok is a cold, fairly desolate place. Almost totally mountainous terrain, Charnok is home to very few civalized human settlements, mostly on the south western corner. Other notable features:
- Two large dwarven kingdoms: Gnar Chertok and Gral Methoras
- Tal Dra`Quinlith: a hidden elven kingdom. Basically, think Rivendell, a place magically protected from the cold/weather and easy outside access located somewhere in a large mountain valley
- 5-6 major barbarian tribes of 150 or so residents each and 2-3 times that number of small ones of 30-40 people each. All are nomadic, but there are a few semi permanent lodge structures and a permanent setup somewhere which is used for yearly clan meetings. A few of the clans reluctantly trade with the dwarves and a few others trade with the civilized settlements.
- There are several ruined keeps and 2 towers, all of which were abandoned (as far as we know) between 100 and 1200 years ago. The barbarians stay away from most of them. These are mostly on remote mountain top peaks or valleys.
- Tons a Reindeer, Elk, etc, both wild and tended by the Barbarian tribes.
- On the north side of the map, there is an Ice Giant settlement that houses 300+ giants over a 50 mile area of the northern mountain range. No humans dare venture into this area for obvious reasons. They occasionally make extended raids against barbarian tribes that happen to be in the area. Every 50 years or so, they attack nearby outposts of Gnar Chertok, though there are rarely many casualties on the giants side, the dwarves usually take a few hundred losses. Rarely do the giants actually attempt to break through the main gates due to the strength of the gates.
- Various orc and goblin hiddy holes hidden in caves throughout the region. of course, there are various skirmishes with the dwarves, mostly underground.
- At least 1 white dragon (Belamytharandus) lives in the region with brood of 5 wymlings. Mostly content to feed on the abundant livestock, she occasionally ranges far and attacks either barbarian tribes or even one of the towns on rare occasions, though most think this is more for her amusement that for food.

April 25th, 2012
Chefs with Issues is a platform for chefs and farmers we love, fired up for causes about which they're passionate. Virginia Willis, a graduate of L'Academie de Cuisine and Ecole de Cuisine LaVarenne, is the author of "Bon Appétit, Y'all" and "Basic to Brilliant, Y'all."
I opened up a veritable bucket of bait, not a mere can of worms, back in January with my blog post titled "Wicked Tuna: A Deal with the Devil."
"Wicked Tuna" is a reality series that premiered April 1 on the National Geographic Channel. It follows the lives of bluefin tuna fishermen in Gloucester, Massachusetts, and is produced by the same folks that produce the hit TV shows "Dirty Jobs" and "Swamp Loggers."
By many accounts, including the National Geographic website, bluefin tuna are overfished. This is where I find a huge disconnect with the National Geographic channel hosting a show about Atlantic bluefin tuna fishing.
The Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch urges consumers to "avoid" all bluefin tuna, referencing the near collapse of bluefin populations worldwide. So, I gave up bluefin tuna, including toro, its deliciously sensual and fatty belly. Toro is one of the most amazing things you could ever put in your mouth, but to me it's not worth it.
The responses in agreement with my issue with National Geographic featuring a show about bluefin tuna fishing were overwhelming, but I quickly found myself in deep water with a bunch of fishermen wanting to pretty much cut me up for bait. My post was picked up in the media, which also put me in the very curious position of receiving a Facebook message on a Sunday night from Betty Hudson, the EVP of communications for the National Geographic Society.
Money makes things complicated, and tuna is big money. Earlier this year, one fish sold for a record $736,000. Television is also big money. Thirty percent of the National Geographic Channel is owned by the National Geographic Society, and nearly 70% by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation.
Even though I have been cussed at and told to "shut my mouth b*tch," I don't consider the fishermen the bad guys. They're living within the law, trying to feed their kids, doing what their fathers and their fathers before them did.
Tuna fishing is regulated by the ICCAT, the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tuna. By some accounts, however, ICCAT repeatedly hasn't listened to the advice of their own scientists.
The deal is: there's fishing, and then there's fishing. The guys that are on "Wicked Tuna" are rod and reel fishermen. That's just what it sounds like: a man with a rod, a reel and a boat.
That's not what has caused overfishing with bluefin tuna.
Longline fishing is a commercial method of fishing in which a line extends from the boat for one mile to as long as 62 miles. The line is buoyed and every hundred or so feet, there is a secondary line attached extending down. This secondary line is hooked and baited. Not just tuna are caught; so are sharks, sea turtles and sea birds. There's a lot of bycatch that is simply discarded, but the greatest impact is the amount of tuna that can be caught. Essentially, we're eating out of the ocean like it's a Las Vegas buffet.
Purse seiners, on the other hand, are the most effective vessels to catch fish near the surface. The fish are corralled, then the bottom of the net is closed underneath the fish. The most important part of the fishing operation is searching for the fish. Sophisticated electronics are often used to search and track, and large vessels often have observation towers and helicopter landing decks. It's hardcore - and it's all legal.
Honestly, I think National Geographic was caught off guard, but that's no excuse. It's their name, their brand. Carl Safina of Blue Ocean's Institute wrote an intense piece about the National Geographic "race to the bottom," then was quickly called into headquarters discuss the situation with the powers that be. His follow-up post was more mild-mannered: he seems to want to give National Geographic a chance, but also hold them to their word.
They have built a content-rich website to promote conservation and educate viewers about bluefin tuna. National Geographic's rationale is that documentaries and traditional programming simply aren't working, and hope to educate viewers with this unusual approach.
Betty Hudson, EVP of the National Geographic Society sagely said, "You can't save souls in an empty church."
Yes ma'am, I agree. But, just because it's legal doesn't mean it's right.

In the NCAA Basketball tournament they like to call it "survive and advance". That's exactly what the Hawkeyes did on Saturday afternoon as they survived a significant scare from Northern Illinois, holding off the Huskies, 18-17. We have all your news and notes from the action that took place, including which true freshmen played, the complete dress list, and much more.Game BallsOFFENSE: Damon Bullock - The Iowa offense struggled to find the end zone all day long until sophomore Damon Bullock popped a 23 yard run off the left side on a 3rd and 8 play to give the Hawkeyes the lead. No one expected Bullock to shoulder the load that he did, but he ended up with 30 carries for 150 yards and also caught 3 passes for 26 yards. While Iowa's offense sputtered for a good part of the day, especially through the air, Bullock more than did his part on the ground.DEFENSE: Joe Gaglione - The Hawkeyes were getting beat up pretty badly on defense early in the game on Saturday. Then the Iowa defensive line started to find its stride. Joe Gaglione led the charge late in the first half and early in the second with a quarterback sack and six total tackles, including three for loss. Gaglione was also credited with a forced fumble as the Iowa defense held the Huskies to under 100 yards total offense in the second half.SPECIAL TEAMS: John Wienke - When John Wienke came to Iowa he was a highly recruited quarterback. While his on the field contributions haven't been significant, he has always been a solid leader in the locker room. On Saturday, Wienke finally got his chance, but it was as a punter in a key situation. The 5th year senior pooched punted the ball 43 yards, pinning the Huskies at the one yard line after being downed by senior Greg Castillo. News And NotesDress ListQB: Vandenberg, Rudock, Beathard, SokolRB: Bullock, Rogers, Weisman, Garmon, Malloy, GimmWR: Davis, Martin-Manley, Shumpert, Staggs, Hillyer, Nielsen, Smith, Fleming, CottonTE: Fiedorowicz, Hamilton, Derby, Duzey, Krieger-CobleOL: Scherff, Tobin, Ferentz, Blythe, Van Sloten, MacMillan, Bofelli, Ward, Walsh, Donnal,DL: Alvis, Gaglione, Bigach, Davis, Trinca-Pasat, Cooper, MacMillan, Ott, Venkus, McMinn, HardyLB: Morris, Kirksey, Hitchens, Alston, Perry, Collins, Fisher, PlewaDB: Miller, Law, Donatell, Hyde, Lowery, Castillo, Lowdermilk, Buford, Draper, Swanson, CampbellST: Meyer, Koehn, Mossbrucker, Wienke, Kornbrath, KreiterSEASON OPENING STREAKWith the win on Saturday, the Hawkeyes run their season opening winning streak to 12 consecutive years. It also snapped Northern Illinois nine game win streak that started last season.FRESH ARRIVALSTrue freshmen playing today in their first college game include: Connor Kornbrath, Sean Draper, Kevin Buford, and Greg Garmon. True freshmen dressing, but not playing include: Michael Malloy, Drew Ott, Reese Fleming, Tevaun Smith, Ryan Ward, Daumantas Venckus-Cucchiara, and C.J. Beathard.MEYER ON TARGETJunior place kicker Mike Meyer could have very easily been named our special teams player of the game. Meyer knocked in four of five field goal attempts, including a 50 yarder, which he slipped when kicking, into a swirling wind. Meyer also connected from 22, 30, and 34 yards which resulted in 12 of Iowa's 18 points. Meyer now has 171 career points, which ties him for 11th all-time in Iowa Football history with Ladell Betts, David Hudson, and Marvin McNutt.LEADING TACKLERSThe Hawkeyes were led on defense by James Morris and Anthony Hitchens, who had eight stops on Saturday. Joe Gaglione and Tom Donatell had six stops each and both forced fumbles. Tanner Miller and B.J. Lowery finished with five stops each.MEDICAL UPDATEB.J. Lowery left the game on Saturday after teammate Carl Davis fell on him near the sidelines. Lowery was holding his shoulder area, but x-rays were negative and he is expected to be ready to go next weekend against Iowa State.Brett Van Sloten seemed to injury his leg, but returned to action in the second half. He was replaced for a few snaps by Andrew Donnal.RETURN TEAMSKickoff return team: Garmon, K. Davis, Weisman, Duzey, Derby, Kreiger-Coble, Perry, Staggs, Hillyer, Lowdermilk, and Gimm.Kickoff coverage team: Meyer, Shumpert, Fisher, Weisman, Hillyer, Nielsen, Lowdermilk, Collins, Law, Buford, and Castillo.2nd team OLWe always have an eye on the backups and on Saturday the pre-game second team offensive line was: Donnal, Walsh, Boffeli, MacMillan, and Ward.NEXT UP
.The next opponent for the Hawkeyes will be the Iowa State Cyclones, who travel to Iowa City. Kickoff is set for 2:30 pm and the game will air on the Big Ten Network. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

I just spent two hours playing Final Fantasy X-2 doing this mission underground, and I totally got obliterated. Yeah, and I forgot to save. My life is ruined now.
So I was sitting in my poetry class today, doing whatever poetry students do, and my teacher decides that she wants to show us something fun since half of the class was gone anyway. So she pops in a movie called The Princess Bride. I haven't seen that movie in FOREVER!! I forgot how much I loved it!
I is tired right nao... it kinda sucks cow balls.
Nat and I are going to practice our right to play video games all day tomorrow and play us some Halo. All I know is that it's going to be pretty FREAKIN' titty! (Which means cool...I promise! ) The only thing that sucks is that if Natalee plays video games for too long, she gets motion sickness and has to stop. Having to stop right in the middle of shooting down a Ghost rider really isn't ideal. Buuuut...she's the only one of my girlfriends who likes to play video games with me.
I've been watching this movie called Kung Pow: Fist of Fury for the past several months, and oh my goodness, I freaking love that show! It's hilarious!!
Ugh, I need to do College paperwork tomorrow...what kind of crap is that?
Too tired to write anything else.... My head is laying on the computer desk...I think that's my cue to get off now...

In June 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Kelo v. New London that local governments may force property owners to sell out and to make way for private economic development, even if the property is not blighted. In response, many states have passed legislation and proposed amendments to their state constitutions to block this unprecedented government assault on the rights of property owners.

Lighting is important to the atmosphere of a party, and candles are often used at Halloween events. But candles pose a fire hazard, especially if you are hosting an event with children, which is why you should purchase Flicker Small Candelabra Light Bulbs. Put the bulbs in any small fixture and you will have a realistic looking flickering flame. You can even turn them on and walk away, something that you can never do with a candle! Screw them into a chandelier or small lamp and dim all the other room lights for the best effect. If you have a fixture small enough, you can even use them inside a pumpkin. Buy several packages so you have enough for every room.

Pulitzer Prize winner Nicholas Kristof speaks at Vol State
Submitted on October 21, 2009 at 1:20 PM
A teenager in Cambodia is forced into prostitution. A woman in Somaliland recovers from a brutal attack by her husband. These are stories of violence, oppression, hope and inspiration. Nicholas Kristof, the two time Pulitzer Prize winner and New York Times columnist, shares them with the world in his new book "Half the Sky." Kristof will discuss the global challenges for women during an appearance at Volunteer State Community College.
Kristof wrote the book with his wife Sheryl Wudunn, who is also a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist. It lays out an agenda for women and three major abuses occurring in countries across the globe. Carolyn See, writing for the Washington Post, says: "Half the Sky is a call to arms, a call for help, a call for contributions, but also a call for volunteers. It asks us to open our eyes to this enormous humanitarian issue."
Nicholas Kristof will speak on Tuesday, November 10 at 7p.m. and Wednesday, November 11 at 11:30 a.m. Both events will be held in the auditorium at Caudill Hall. They are free and open to the public. Kristof will be available for a book signing after each appearance. Vol State is located at 1480 Nashville Pike in Gallatin. For more information call 615-230-3443.###
