After a 2-0 start to the young season in its February games, the Princeton men's lacrosse team will see March come in like a lion - and this has nothing to do with the weather.
Princeton's next three games are against Johns Hopkins, North Carolina and Penn, who would be No. 5, No. 2 and No. 20 in this week's coaches' Top 20. Not that the month goes out like a lamb either, with the next three after that against Villanova (receiving votes), Yale (No. 12) and Brown (receiving votes).
That gauntlet begins along with the new month as Princeton hosts Johns Hopkins on Sherrerd Field.
This will be the 84th meeting in the series. Hopkins leads 55-28.
* * *
Princeton is 3-1 against Johns Hopkins since Chris Bates became head coach - 3-0 in Baltimore and 0-1 in Princeton.
Princeton defeated Johns Hopkins 11-8 last year at Homewood Field as Jeff Froccaro and Tom Schreiber had three goals each and Jake Froccaro and Mike MacDonald had two each.
Wells Stanwick had one goal and one assist for the Blue Jays in the game. This year, through three games, Stanwick has 13 assists, or 4.3 per game.
Stanwick's game-by-game numbers so far: 1-5-6 against Ohio State, 1-5-6 against Towson, 1-3-4 against Michigan.
Stanwick's 13 assists are second in Division I, behind Justin Ward of Loyola, who has 14.
* * *
Tom Schreiber has four goals and six assists in the first two games, leaving him with 80 career goals and 79 career assists.
The only two Princeton players who have ever had at least 80 goals and 80 assists in their careers were Jon Hess (82G, 133A) and Dave Heubeck (83G, 99A), leaving Schreiber one assist away from becoming the third.
No Princeton player has ever had at least 90 of each.
Schreiber, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2014 Major League Lacrosse draft, has at least three points in 18 straight games and in 39 of 46 career games.
* * *
Princeton and Johns Hopkins first met on May 17, 1890, in a 3-2 Tiger win. Princeton lost to Lehigh one week later and then suspended the sport due to "concerns of losing to schools that could not field proper football teams."
Princeton played one game in 1891 and one in game in 1893 and then did not play again until 1921.
Princeton has played Hopkins at least once every year since 1937, except for the World War II-shortened season of 1944.
Johns Hopkins leads the all-time series against Princeton 55-28, though Princeton is 3-0 against Hopkins in the NCAA tournament. Between 1957 and the end of the 1990 regular season, Princeton was 1-33 against the Blue Jays, with the only win in that stretch a 7-1 win in 1966.
Princeton lost to Johns Hopkins 20-8 in the 1990 season-opener, but the series started to go in a different direction when the teams met again that year, in Princeton's first-ever trip to the NCAA tournament.
The Tigers won that game 9-8 on Mark Ames' goal with 1:44 to go, after Justin Tortolani (now a pediatric surgeon affiliated with Johns Hopkins) scored five goals.
Beginning with that game, Princeton is 16-10 in its last 26 games against the Blue Jays.
* * *
The last time Princeton defeated Johns Hopkins at Class of 1952 Stadium was in 2001 as Trevor Tierney made 19 saves in an 8-4 win.
Hopkins has won three straight at Class of 1952. In fact, the visiting team is 10-2 in the last 12 games of the series played at either Homewood Field or at Class of 1952 Stadium.
This does not include the four years that Princeton and Hopkins played at M&T Bank Stadium (2007-10).
* * *
Princeton and Hopkins are a combined 5-0 on the season. They have been in double figures in goals in all five of those wins and have reached 14 or more goals in three of them.
* * *
Kip Orban has at least one goal in 14 straight games and two goals in each of the first two games this season. He also has at least one point in 17 straight games.
Like Orban, Mike MacDonald has at least one point in 17 straight games. He has at least one goal in 12 straight games.
* * *
Johns Hopkins is averaging 44.3 shots per game through three games. Princeton is averaging 35.5 shots per game through two games.
Looking a little closer, though, Princeton has taken 71 shots in two games, of which eight came in the first half of Game 1 against Hofstra and 63 have come in the three halves since. Taking away the first half against Hofsra, Princeton be would averaging 42 shots per game.
Princeton's opponents have taken 34 shots per game; Hopkins' opponents have taken 35.7 per game.
* * *
Tom Schreiber ranks 10th at Princeton in points with 159. With five more points he would move past David Tickner (163) into a tie with Justin Tortolani (164) for eighth. After that would be Wick Sollers with 174.
Schreiber is already Princeton's career leader in points by a midfielder.
Schreiber is eighth in assists at Princeton with 79, leaving him five away from tying Bo Willis for seventh.
With his goal against Manhattan Tuesday night, Schreiber became the 20th player in program history to reach 80 career goals. He needs six goals to tie former teammate Jeff Froccaro for 16th place.
* * *
Senior Brian Kavanagh has started and played the first half of Princeton's first two games, with a save percentage of .640.
Kavanagh became the fourth Princeton goalie in the last 25 years to start a game as a senior after not starting any games for his career prior to that, joining Matthew Larkin (2005), Neal DiBello (1998) and Pancho Gustein (1996).
Hopkins goalie Eric Schneider has a 6.56 goals-against average and .667 save percentage. Like Kavanagh, Schneider is a senior in his first year as a starter after backing up All-America Pierce Bassett.
* * *
Forest Sonnenfeldt and Tucker Shanley are seniors - tall seniors, standing 6-6 and 6-4 - who missed all of last year with injuries but are now on the second midfield unit. Through two games this year, each has three goals, for a total of six between them.
Princeton got three goals for the entire season from its second midfield in 2013.

The Plan - Heart Ball, arts festivals on tap this weekend
Published: Thursday, February 6, 2014 at 9:33 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 6, 2014 at 9:33 a.m.
The (mini)Olympics
The winter Olympics began this week, featuring sports that most of us can only muster an interest in every four years or so.
If your kids are already weary of watching the luge, curling and the like, head down to the Wilmington's Children Museum, Second and Orange streets in downtown Wilmington, 10 a.m. Saturday for the two-hour mini-Olympics. Events include the Foam Noodle Javelin Toss, the Balloon Flyswatter Challenge and the Olympic Torch Relay, followed by a special medal ceremony at noon.
Museum admission is $9 per person, $8 for military and seniors. 254-3534 or PlayWilmington.org.
Cape Fear Heart Ball
You've never had a better excuse to wear red.
For more than 15 years now, the Cape Fear Heart Ball has been raising money to help the American Heart Association fight heart disease. Last year's event alone brought in $150,000.
This year's black-tie event is 6 p.m.-11:30 p.m. Saturday at the Wilmington Convention Center, 515 Nutt St. in downtown Wilmington. The Heart Ball features live and silent auctions, a seated dinner and live music by the Jack Jack 180 cover band.
For ticket info call 538-9270, or go to WilmingtonNCheartball.ahaevents.org
Theater options
As usual, it's a busy weekend on the Wilmington boards, with both new and returning shows to take in.

"Greenwashing" Rocketdyne
Secret plan exposed after secret document posted online
By Michael Collins 01/17/2013
Aerospace giant Boeing plans to declare the former Rocketdyne site in the Simi Hills clean enough for public open space, even with recent findings of high radiation in the soil and continued chemical releases headed toward the Los Angeles River.
A new public relations campaign targeting local and national media outlets will recast the Santa Susana Field Laboratory (SSFL) in a more positive light, according to documents revealed online and obtained by the Ventura County Reporter.
The plan seeks to erase SSFL's infamously polluted past, which includes at least three partial meltdowns, countless spills and mishaps involving radiation and chemicals, and open burn pits where some of the most lethal toxins ever made were set ablaze. Now the soil and groundwater are highly contaminated.
The VCReporter is one of the media outlets targeted by the propaganda, as is the Ventura County Star. The online Northridge-Chatsworth Patch published one of the first of these pollution puff pieces (http://tinyurl.com/avqz3o3) on Jan. 2 placed by Boeing's "greenwashing" public relations firm, Burbank-based Make Over Earth Inc., according to information obtained by the VCReporter.
The PR campaign, created by a company run by former Pulitzer prize-winning Los Angeles Times environmental reporter Gary Polakovic, aims to greenwash the pollution at the site, declaring SSFL an asset to the community. No longer will SSFL be the decades-old polluter that has spewed uncontrolled radiation, chemicals, heavy metals, PCBs and dioxins off its huge hillside site between the Simi and San Fernando valleys. It will be glorious open space and prime property for a park.

The contaminated Santa Susana Field Laboratory
at the headwaters of the Los Angeles River.
The Draft Media Campaign for the Santa Susana Field Laboratory" (read the full copy here: http://tinyurl.com/a7b7kcg) was created by Burbank-based Make Over Earth Inc. (http://www.makeoverearth.com) for Boeing and is dated Aug. 3, according to an image of the document obtained by the VCReporter. The plan begins:
"To help change public opinion about the SSFL site, we need to reach a diverse array of news media, ranging from journalists at local, state and national organizations who may reasonably be expected to have interest in the SSFL cleanup or Boeing's corporate environmental initiatives, to environmental and industry trade publications. In addition, we need to reach new audiences via websites, social media and blogs."
The targeted local press includes the Los Angeles Daily News, which broke the Rocketdyne meltdown story in 1989, as well as the Los Angeles Times, Simi Valley Acorn, Ventura County Star, Los Angeles Business Journal, Los Angeles magazine and the Ventura County Reporter.
The last two publications are curious choices as the magazine's June 1998 cover story "Hot Zone" was the first article this reporter wrote about the lab's pollution problems.
More curious still is targeting the Ventura County Reporter (http://tinyurl.com/bx9rb7z), which has provided extensive coverage in Ventura County of Rocketdyne and neighboring Runkle Canyon, where KB Homes aims to build hundreds of homes downhill from radiation-impacted Area IV, where the partial nuclear reactor meltdowns occurred in 1959, 1964 and 1969.
Dozens of radio shows, national newspapers and news services are marked for the ooze schmooze, as are popular and influential websites like LA Observed, Environmental Health News and, not surprisingly, Ron Kaye L.A., the former Daily News editor who distinguished himself in 2009 by publishing a screed by a self-professed Rocketdyne meltdown denier (http://tinyurl.com/b2kdtmz) who assumed the identity of 20 former workers to debunk the 1959 partial meltdown of the sodium reactor experiment as proof that the polluted property posed no public health menace.
Rocketdyne's Area IV "Highway to Hell" in EPA map has huge hits of radionuclides,
including lethal Cesium-137 at more than a thousand times normal background.
"These media were targeted by their proximity to the SSFL site, past and potential interest in the SSFL cleanup or proximity to other Boeing facilities or spheres of influence," the campaign brochure says. "Note: Media targets will evolve, contingent on outreach progress, personal relationships with journalists and developments at the SSFL site or with Boeing's environmental initiatives."
The program includes multiplying allies by "growing their stature" if they "endorse Boeing's vision for open space at the SSFL site." That is precisely what Boeing has been doing since 2009, when it offered to a cleanup obstructionist the money to fund a CAG that was ultimately approved by the Department of Toxic Substance Control on Sept. 21, over the outrage and protest of hundreds of people around SSFL.
"Third parties who endorse Boeing's vision for open space at the SSFL site will be key to the media relations campaign," the plan reads. "Third parties add credibility and authenticity, and blunt allegations of green-washing."
Greenwashing is PR spin to make places like the old 2,850-acre Rocketdyne lab not look so bad, maybe even look good despite its history of multiple nuclear meltdowns, gross radiological and chemical pollution of the soil as well as so much TCE (trichloroethylene) in the groundwater that it would take tens of thousands of years to clean up.
Boeing turned off, in 2006, a trichloroethylene remediation system, capable of extracting just 10 gallons of TCE a year by venting it into the air, and now maintains that groundwater remediation decisions should be tempered with the ironic fact that no one in his or her right mind would use Rocketdyne's groundwater anyway so why spend the money to remediate it?
"Journalists will look to third parties to truth-check the company's message," the campaign says. "The media outreach campaign will benefit by prominently including third-party allies as much as possible."
Incredibly, given the grimy cornucopia of goo impacting the site, including recently revealed high strontium-90 detections on lab land on the border with Runkle Canyon (http://tinyurl.com/azxma8f) and Ahmanson Ranch (http://tinyurl.com/aqxj2py), the "Key Messages" part of the Make Over Earth brochure says:
"• The site poses no significant risk to human health today.
• Cleanup far exceeds what's needed to restore beneficial use and protect public health.
• It's time to move the SSFL cleanup to its conclusion.
• Boeing is building an impressive track record of environmental gains on many fronts."
It seems like a tall order, selling this spin to the media, which has reported for decades on the accidents, spills, dumping, meltdowns and all the attendant contamination that comes from a site that saw more than 30,000 rocket tests. The campaign compensates for that:
"Overcome negative perceptions using a countervailing narrative of environmental values, safety and corporate responsibility. Show another side of SSFL: We propose pitching diverse story ideas about people, nature, history, business and technology at SSFL to reduce the secrecy and perceived dangers at the site. Showing a human side of SSFL can help build empathy and connect people for a common purpose for open space."

There certainly is common purpose for using the site as open space. Boeing's idea of safe open space is much different than the community's or even government standards, should the company continue to refuse to clean up its huge area of responsibility to restore normal background levels of goo. Cleanup activists say that Boeing's refusal to clean up completely would leave 98 percent of the contaminated soil in place.
"Given the long history of negative publicity at the SSFL site, it will take time for the press, stakeholders, elected officials and the public to conceive of the property in new ways," the Make Over Earth plan opines positively. "Expectations for the news media campaign need to account for that reality and overcome it with a sustained effort and strategic focus. By telling the SSFL story in new and compelling ways, we will be in a better position to communicate key messages and shift discussions from a site with a sordid past to one with potential."
"There is not a crime, there is not a dodge, there is not a trick, there is not a swindle, there is not a vice which does not live by secrecy," famed journalist Joseph Pulitzer once said.
But Boeing's meltdown makeover plan is secret no more.
The publication of this campaign on the Internet turns Boeing's secret plan on its ear.
Make Over Earth Inc.'s Draft Media Campaign for Santa Susan Field Laboratory under its president, Polakovic, includes a timeline that incudes "Incorporate Make Over Earth team into Boeing's ongoing outreach and remediation efforts – 3rd Qtr/2012." It also states, "Identify third parties who may be willing to publicly support the open-space vision at SSFL – 4th Qtr/2012" and "Consider commissioning a blue-ribbon study on SSFL health risks today and in the future – 1st Qtr/2013."

The R-2 wastewater pond at Rocketdyne sits at the headwaters
of the Los Angeles River and is polluted by dioxins and rocket fuel.
The idea of commissioning a Boeing study on health risks at Boeing's lab follows a classic polluter pattern. In this case, replace the science, which has shown in repeated studies that the contamination at the site can cause serious health impacts, with a media-friendly fairytale of how wonderful the lab already is.
Now that Make Over Earth's campaign is public, only time will tell if Boeing still rolls with these recommendations. One thing is for sure — Boeing has had this campaign in the works long before Polakovic became involved.
Polakovic, who considers himself an "expert authority on some of the biggest environmental controversies of our time," has just stepped into one with gusto. Boeing's meltdown makeover has brought greenwashing to Southern California, and with it, shame upon the company and upon environmental journalism.
Those most hurt by this greenwashing are the communities near SSFL and downstream along Calleguas Creek in Ventura County and the Los Angeles River.

Thank you Michael Collins for exposing "The Truth" it is sad that polluters (Boeing) cannot be transparent and exposing is needed. Instead of spending money on a proper cleanup, they are fighting it, every step of the way.
Maybe Karma with ground a fleet of their planes.
With Senate Bill 990 (Cleanup Bill) signed by government then challenged in court by The Boeing Co., the money they spent on lawyers could have been spent on health studies, interim cleanup measures or even awareness, but the money is well spent on cover up, not clean up. One could hope that bringing this to light will make a change in 2013, at least with the State Department of Toxic Substances Control who has no backbone when it comes to inforcement.

Kudos to the Star and to Mr. Collins for exposing this campaign. It's shameful that Boeing would put its money and effort into misleading the public rather than cleaning up the mess it's responsible for. Sadly, this fits the company's pattern of behavior on this issue for literally decades.
Thank you Mr. Collins and VC Reporter for this hugely important story with implications far and wide. Now we know why there is so little accurate reporting about everything from toxic contamination in communities to nuclear energy and its risks (Fukushima is not over people!) to climate change to fracking. Because polluters like Boeing hire sell-out PR companies to help them market themselves as environmentally friendly and their contaminated sites as clean. And the media buys it. It's easy to reprint a press release, but not to do the kind of investigative reporting that is needed to get at the truth. But even with all the cutbacks etc there is no excuse for selling this Santa Susana lab as being ready for a park given all the readily available information on the contamination there. Cesium-137 over 1,000 times background! Scarey.
I hope the other media targeted by the Make Over Earth plan (guess that's an accurate name for this company, though maybe it should be "Make it up" Earth) read this article and don't fall for it. What gets me is that the plan boldly admits that it wants to "blunt allegations of greenwashing" meaning they know that that is exactly what they are doing. So they will get other saps of sellouts "third party" groups or new "community members" to do it for them using any convenient "green" sounding excuse. This happens all over the country.
Also don't fool yourselves these same companies also lobby government with the same greenwashing BS. I feel sorry for all the communities and those near the LA River that will be affected.
Boeing's claim of being environmentally sensitive and that its land at SSFL will not harm picnicking families is akin to hearing Hitler brag that his SS was ethnically and culturally diverse and that the Nazis were pretty much like the Boy Scouts. No, wait! That was President Reagan comparing them to Boy Scouts. Whatever.
You are wrong, the Valley News and Green Sheet reported this in 1979, because I called CSUN and told them about it on a radio talk show. A day later they reported it and 2 days later the LA Times.
I called the station because there were two nuke promoters pushing to have one built in the Malibu Pass and said they were safe and that none had a problem.
I called and told them about Rocketdyne to shut them up.
It was soon after that the China Syndrome movie came out and then 3 Mile Island. 1979 not 1989.

Groups, GAO Fault EPA's Risk Assessment ProcessThe Environmental Protection Agency's decision to add a new layer of external review when updating its toxic chemicals registry drew a sharp rebuke from environmental and consumer groups last week. The groups' protest letters charged that the new process will add extensive delays to the already backlogged assessment program, and will give industry, the Defense and Energy departments more ways to delay important public health protections. Updates to the Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS), the widely-used database that contains information on toxic chemicals and their health effects, have already slowed to a trickle in recent years.
The new procedure, announced April 10, also gave the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) greater control of interagency review of the assessments. "We are very concerned that the new process will introduce delays, derail assessments, and institutionalize the growing influence of federal agencies . . . that are among the biggest contributors to toxic Superfund sites," the letter, whose signers included the Center for Science in the Public Interest, stated. A new Government Accountability Office report found that a majority of the 540 chemicals in the database have outdated assessments, and that the agency has only completed four of a planned 32 assessments in the past two years. The agency's "low level of productivity jeopardizes the viability of the IRIS database," the report stated. The GAO also noted that the new procedure lacks transparency, since the OMB shields the interagency and outside reviews from public scrutiny.
Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works committee chairwoman Barbara Boxer (D-CA), who asked for the GAO report, said "EPA scientists are being pushed aside by White House operatives and polluters." At a hearing last week, Boxer also faulted the entire toxic chemicals regulatory structure in the U.S., saying that the Toxic Substances Control Act requires government to assess a chemical's risk while Europe's REACH program "puts the burden on the chemical industry—where it should be."
FDA Scraps Helsinki Declaration on Protecting Human Subjects Drug companies got a green light last week to start using data from foreign clinical trials in new drug applications even if the trials only compare new products to placebos instead of best available treatments. The change marks a sharp departure from the 1989 Declaration of Helsinki protecting human subjects in clinical research, the Food and Drug Administration's previous standard. The new rule, which goes into effect next October, was pushed by drug and device manufacturers, but opposed by numerous public interest, patient advocacy, and consumer groups. The Declaration of Helsinki "is the standard-bearer for international research ethics and enjoys particular respect in the developing world," said Peter Lurie, deputy director of Public Citizen's Health Research Group. Its rejection is "in line with other U.S. efforts to flout international mores."
The new rule's substitute standard says foreign trials should follow good clinical practices (GCP) and include a review and approval by an independent ethics committee. A major difference between the Helsinki Declaration and GCP is the former's insistence on using existing treatments instead of placebos if they are available. The Helsinki Declaration had the effect of extending existing treatments to people in poor countries if they participated in clinical trials.
The change is likely to push more clinical trials abroad, where an estimated 35 percent of all trials submitted to the FDA in new drug applications now take place. Unlike trials conducted in the U.S., companies do not have to submit an investigative new drug application (IND) to the FDA before beginning research in foreign countries. The FDA estimates about 575 of the foreign trials submitted to the agency each year as part of new drug applications do not go through the IND process. The FDA rejected the notion that adopting the self-regulating GCP standard and eliminating references to the Helsinki Declaration "will hurt subjects in developing countries or result in less protection for subjects in foreign studies." GCP requires trial sponsors closely monitor trial behavior and report adverse events, the agency noted.
Animal Ag Report Encounters Industry Interference Industry groups sought to undermine a new report calling for reduced use of antibiotics in meat production and better waste management, the Pew Commission on Industrial Farm Animal Production charged last week. The two-year study found the current system "poses unacceptable risks to public health, the environment, and the welfare of the animals themselves." The 15-member Commission relied on technical reports written by academic researchers. Pew Commission executive director Robert Martin said many potential contributors had to be disqualified because of their extensive financial ties to industry, and a number of researchers withdrew after industry representatives threatened to withhold research funding from their universities if their findings were critical of industry. "We found significant influence by the industry at every turn; in academic research, agriculture policy development, government regulation, and enforcement," said Martin. The Commission called for increased public funding of animal agriculture research.
Psych Working Group Again Rife with Conflicts of Interests More than half the 28 new members of writers of the next edition of the American Psychiatric Association's (APA) Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) have ties to the drug industry. The conflicts of interests were posted online by the APA last week. They ranged from small to extensive. Leading the pack was William Carpenter, Jr., director of Maryland Psychiatric Research Center at the University of Maryland, who over the past last five years worked as a consultant for 13 drug companies, including Pfizer, Eli Lilly, Wyeth, Merck, Astra Zeneca, and Bristol-Myers Squibb. APA President Carolyn B. Robinowitz claimed that "we have made every effort to ensure that DSM-V will be based on the best and latest scientific research, and to eliminate conflicts of interest in its development." The fifth DSM, produced in conjunction with the National Institute of Mental Health, will be published in 2012. It is used by mental health professionals to classify mental illnesses.
Agency Hedges on Great Lakes Pollution Link to HealthReversing the conclusions of its draft report, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry's (ATSDR) final report on the health impacts of environmental contamination in the Great Lakes claims the data is inadequate to prove the pollution poses a threat to human health. The February draft report authored by former ATSDR toxicology director Christopher DeRosa found a link between contaminant levels and a broad spectrum of health concerns. DeRosa was reassigned following release of the controversial study, which was delayed seven months. The new report concludes simply that more research is needed to define the health impacts of Great Lakes contamination. The public has 60 days to comment on the new report.
Groups Protest FIFRA Panel NomineesThe Center for Science in the Public Interest and Natural Resources Defense Council last week protested the lack of disclosure and industry ties of four nominees for two open positions on a seven-member advisory panel established under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). The panel conducts peer reviews on pesticide-related issues for the EPA's Office of Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic Substances. The groups objected to the nominations of James Bruckner, who was a paid expert witness for Lockheed Martin; Mark Harwell, whose firm, Harwell Gentile & Associates, LLC consults for such entities as Exxon-Mobil; Wanda Haschek-Hock, who has received research funding from numerous industries; and Curtis Klaassen, who has worked for nearly 20 years with the industry-backedInternational Life Sciences Institute. "This failure to disclose relevant conflicts of interest compromises the ability of the public to comment intelligently on the nominations and the Agency's ability to convene a panel without financially conflicted members," the letter stated. "Panelists who are or often have been employed by industry, or frequently consulted for industry, are at risk of harboring pro-industry bias."
Odds and EndsThe Union of Concerned Scientists disclosed a new document showing that the White House delayed a rule that would protect the North Atlantic right whale. Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) demanded that the Office of Management and Budget release the rule, which would slow shipping speeds along the Atlantic coast. The White House pressure on behalf of the shipping industry was first brought to light by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility. . . . Twelve conservation groups filed a lawsuit challenging the removal of the northern Rockies gray wolf population from the endangered species list. The US Fish and Wildlife Service delisted the wolf in late February. . . . A federal judge has ordered the Interior Department to decide by May 15 whether the polar bear should be listed as a threatened species because of global warming. . . . More than half the 110 people and organizations signing a "Patient Declaration" that asked the World Health Organization (WHO) to include patient group input into intellectual property policy reform deliberations get financial support from drug companies, Essential Action, a non-profit organization working on public health and corporate accountability, revealed in a report last week.

Boom brings changes
February 17, 2013
Sen. Tim Mathern, Fargo If you live in western North Dakota or look at satellite images from outer space, you can see the changes brought on by the Bakken oil boo....
If I were king flaring would have been limited to 30 days. Water, power, sewage treatment, housing etc would have to be in place as soon as the Bakken was known to be a high percentage producer. All sand and gravel trucks would have to be tarped to save our headlights, paint jobs and windshields. We are witnessing the private sector behavior when they have a free hand. After they get the oil they export much of it and through their lack of true competition, charge us $3.75 a gallon for gas. We are losing our pristine badlands to the greed of oil (much for export) and our state government is assisting. The legacy of our pro-oil people will be the selling out of the state. How can we become energy independent when we export much of what we drill? Tim is right.

I agree, let the private companies (railroad, oil) take advantage of it first, with profit as their motivation. Then it'll get done.

h4c even the gov and the railroad want to build a plant to capture the natural gas that is being flared to run the trains. Why waste it if we can generate another opportunity to generate more revenue and at the same time keep our environment cleaner and reduce our dependency on diesel fuel?

We had supper at Himalayan Kitchen (360 South State Street SLC) a couple weeks ago. The food is better than ever and the place is nicer. Surya and Carmen Bstakoti have taken great pains to make sure that HK is not just another one of those featureless ethnic restaurants where what's on the plate is the only recommendation.
What's on the plate is, like I said, excellent, but Himalayan Kitchen reflects its culture in the color of the walls and the art on them (photographs of Nepal taken by Carmen), in the artifacts and dishes, charming copper pots and copper-handled flatware they have brought back from Nepal.
The best restaurants look the way they taste. Restaurant service, food, decor, that overused word ambience (what DID we say before that came into common usage 25 years ago???)–all these things should be aspects of the same vision, should strike each of the senses in a complementary way.
And then, stupid diners go and make that more difficult.
Since Himalayan Kitchen started using this charming copper-handled flatware, dozens of pieces have been stolen. A piece of art was smuggled out of one of the bathrooms. Little copper pots have disappeared.
The same thing has happened over at Bar X (155 E. 200 South) the signature copper mugs used to serve the Moscow Mules are walking out of the place in people's pockets. The vintage pictures have been ripped off the restroom walls.
What is with you people???
What makes anyone think this is okay? Cool? Acceptable?
I know it's always been something of a problem for restaurateurs. I was told that Bambara had a hell of time holding on to their multi-colored wooden salt and pepper grinders. And I remember shopping with Stephan Pyles for one of his Dallas restaurants. Looking at tabletop accessories, he told me, "We want something very cool and distinctive that's too big to fit in a pocket easily and cheap enough to replace often, because people will find other ways to steal them."
Salt Lake City has had a slow ride to culinary goodness. We have been known for bad food until very recently. And it's a bitch making a living in the restaurant business, folks. Margins are slim, employees are undependable, food costs are rising and diners are fickle.
How dare you add your stupid sticky fingers to those problems? And make it even more difficult for our locally, independently owned restaurant scene to grow?

Rated 5 out of 5 by 9 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by emmy so adorable I love mini alpacas! These little guys are so cute and cuddly. I have one named fuzzy, whose a little beat up, but I love him. they're a great value and I'm looking forward to getting some more. November 27, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by llamalover We have started a revolution My friend came to school with one of these and told me where to buy them. That magical trip to WM was unbelievable. It was like I as meant to be with my llama. His name is Herman. The number of llamas in my Gifted class (we are all freakishly insane) has tripled in two days! We now have seven llamas including our teacher's. We take the llamas everywhere. They love hearing the novel we're reading in class aloud and socializing with other llamas at lunch. Recently we found out they had discontinued the llamas and we bought the rest from the store near us. We called every WM in the state and have a total of 35 llamas left. We have an email and a petition. We are also collecting donations. We must keep them from being discontinued. We all love our llamas and the great joy they bring us! November 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Alpacakeeper Lamune The Alpaca I got my first alpaca 3 years ago on my first date with my now Fiance. I loved that little Alpaca, Ramune. Unfortunately he was lost in our move. I was devastated. So I recently ordered a new one. Although she has yet to arrive I know I will love her as much as Ramune. I will take her to the hospital with me to get my bone marrow biopsy transplant to keep me company. Im so excited to get her in the mail in a couple days! And thanks to another review I read I want to get her some sunglasses to wear!!! I want to get more and build a family of them! July 31, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Redecorator Cute My mini alpaca doesn't look exactly like the one in the picture, but they're all different. it is small, so I'd suggest keeping out of the reach of cats. It's very, very cute. July 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by autumn697 They complete me. I have a growing alpaca collection. They sit in the highest point in my room looking down at all of their subjects. Phil is the king and resides on a mini beanbag throne wearing a crown and purple barbie glasses. Prince Reginald Lockhart III plays an orange guitar and lives beneath the palm trees. Lord Henry Lafayette Kesington has a cane and a top hat. Im working on finding some ladies to bring to court. I suggest you grow your kingdoms so that we may be allies. February 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by bell This product was very cool This product is awesome I would recomend it to anybody it is a great little toy it very very soft and fun to play with. My daughter got one the other day and she left it at a resteraunt she was heartbroken but I am definitly purchasing aother one for Christmas. November 24, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mary Jane Get a life. The other two reviewers seem pathetic, how does this complete your life? Unless you another mini animal collection, then that would make since. On the other hand, I am so much cooler and much much much more awesome than all of you. I love alpaca, he gets along get with my gnomes. (I think he may be having an affair with my main gnome, Sally.) Sally is blonde with a nice rack and great smile as well. The only thing I do not like about this alpaca product is that he is not actually alive. I plan to make my next purchase a REAL LIFE alpaca. June 6, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lucy Awesome Alpaca! I aslo thought this was a great purchase and I also found it to be very usefull in the bedroom. I have three that I bought a world market. It's handy in my purse and I bring them to work and have them on my computer at work. They look at me while I am working and make me happy. Everyone is jelaous and try to take them from me. But they better watch it... Lavoris is my main one. He brings me the most joy I would recommend this to others. May 31, 2012

Post subject: Tablet PC in lieu of ereader?
My first generation kindle is dying. I'm thinking of replacing it with a tablet pc instead of a dedicated ereader so that I can read more formats on it. I also like the idea of a backlight. Has anyone gone this route already? Any thoughts?

I thought about it, but I wanted an e-Ink screen to reduce eyestrain.
Another major factor is size. My Sony fits in my purse, but I don't think a tablet would.
Since a tablet has internet capabilities, will you spend your time browing the web rather than reading? May not be a big deal, but is something you might wish to consider.

Since I have a laptop I haven't given any serious consideration to tablets. I can't read for long periods of time on backlist screens though, the e-ink screens on ereaders are so gentle on the eyes, no way would I want to trade for a backlit screen.

If size is the issue, the iPad does fit in a fairly small purse. I haven't bought an ereader yet, but I did go to the Apple store to check out the iPad and it fit easily into my purse.

I have an original iPad that fits easily in my purse despite the fact that I
to have a really bulky case for it. I don't have a problem being on the internet all the time because I don't have the G3 so I have to be somewhere with free wireless. It also comes in handy during staff meetings because it's a lot less obtrusive than opening up a computer and I can still claim to be taking notes on it. And now that I can borrow library books on it

I have happily owned a Samsung Galaxy Tab since January this year. I don't suppose the model is as popular as the iPad in the USA. But personally, this 7-inch gadget fits into even my smaller purses - now I go everywhere with it. It could be a drawback to those who are strictly looking for an e-reader because of the Tab's nature (computer-and-mobile phone-in-one) as the other functions might be "distracting" - browsing the Internet, playing Angry Birds, using the GPS, and teleconferencing...

I guess the other issue might be battery life. Are tables a bit like smartphones in that sense?

Battery life in general is less but how much depends on the tablet just as it does with e-ink. E-ink measure reading time in days and weeks but if you look at the fine print it's usually predicated on 1-2 hours a day.
Ipad, Galaxy, Xoom, Nook Color will get you usually 8-10 hours. But cheaper sub $150 brands often yield 3-4 hours.
Not all tablets out of the box read all formats either. Nook Color needs to be rooted (very easy and can be done via sd card) to read Kindle (for obvious reasons) and others like even the inexpensive Coby supposedly can require work arounds. There's also the issue with Ipad and outside reader apps that may or may not come to a head with the June 30th deadline.
Whether you can read for long periods on an LCD is quite personal. I like e-ink but read for years on an LCD with no issues and still do for work. Not all screens are of the same quality so that's something to look for (Nook Color is IPS like Ipad but actually has better resolution). With the right software or app you can also change backgrounds and texts to more soothing colors and fonts. It really helps to play around with them in person.

I've avoided going the tablet route because of battery life.
I have now owned 4 different readers over the last 8 years, starting before there ever was such a thing as a dedicated ereader:
1) Palm Tungsten E
2) Tungsten 2E
3) Sony Reader
4) Pocketbook
The first two were back lit and the battery life went from 8 hours to about 2 in a little over a year. I loved reading the back lit screen, but it got to the point that I had to read with it either plugged in or attached to a battery back up, and neither option appealed to me.
I love the e-ink e readers and I can get over 3 - 4 weeks on my Pocketbook. I tend to read at least 2-3 hours a day.
I have flirted with the new tablets, but hate the idea of charging every day or two and like my Palms...having to charge every day or few hours as the device gets older does not appeal.

I have a first generation ipad that I have used as an e-reader since it first came out over a year ago. Even though I have a Kindle also I find I use the ipad almost exclusively for reading.
I love being able to use the free Kindle for ipad app for my Kindle books and the free Bluefire App to read library books.
I also love not having to use a reading light at night and the backlit screen never bothers my eyes.
I think for what one pays for a tablet you get so much more out of it, email, web, picture storage etc.
I find my ipad to be no problem size and weight wise and the new ones are significantly lighter (and faster) according to what I've heard.
The battery life is also improved.
Another good bet seems to be the Nook color. A lot of people love it and many have "rooted" it so they also use it like a tablet.

Thanks for all the replies. I actually looked at the Nook Color and thought I would buy it if I could get a Kindle app for it and still read my kindle library. I'm not a techie, and don't really understand rooting. Has anyone here successfully adapted a Nook Color to read their kindle books? Does it work well and are they formatted the same?
I am also looking at the Samsung Galaxy (the Ipad is a bit too expensive for me right now) and it does look nice. My main use for it would be an ereader as I already have a smartphone and don't need 3G access for email, etc.

Once you've rooted your Nook it performs like any other tablet - you just sideload or download your Kindle app on to it and it downloads, opens and reads the books similar to how they open and read on your PC. Nothing is changed in the formatting.
I haven't rooted a Nook Color though I have rooted a Nook e-ink (for library organization) and that was pretty painless once I found the right software. And the Color unlike some of the e-ink models is supposedly unbrickable - you can't screw up anything so bad you can't undo it by restoring the stock program that came with it.
Nook Color has been a pet project for the modder/hacker community so there are tons of updates and rooting methods as well as videos of doing it on Youtube to choose from - some rather daunting but others comparatively simple.
The easiest and no frills and least experimental seems to be the one on NookDevs which takes you step by step and provides links to what tools you'll need and what you need to download. (basically a fast enough sd card and a free Windows program to make an image on the card with the free new software) Though they haven't uploaded a package for the latest Nook software version that B&N implemented last month.
If you have any questions Mobile Reads is a nice community to ask or search since it caters a lot to us non-techies.

Thanks so much. I really just want to read on a backlit device and not be limited by ebook format, so for the money the Nook Color is a good choice. I'll wait until the little hackers devise a way to root the current software and then take the plunge.
I think B&N would be smart to allow the Kindle app on the Nook Color. This would capture all the non-techie people like me who want to move away from a kindle but don't want to lose access to their kindle library.

I found this link on the B&N forums
It's a supposedly stable version to root your Nook by just loading a SD card with the appropriate software and not altering the original programs on the Color Nook. This way it's rooted if the card is in and un-rooted with it out because the Nook boots from the card first.

TUCSON, Ariz. – Kendall Prince led Arizona with a 74 (+2) to open The Landfall Tradition on the Dye Course at the Country Club of Landfall in Wilmington, N.C. on Friday.
Her score leaves her in a nine-player tie for 10th-place after day one, and helped the Cats to a fourth-place team score.
Arizona shot a 304 (+16) to get there, and is currently 19 strokes behind field-leader Alabama, who shot a 285 (-3). Rounding out the top three is Duke in second with a 295 (+7) and South Carolina in third with a 300 (+12).

The first month of the New Year has come and gone, where exactly did the month of January go? It seems like our spirits were so jolly a few weeks ago, we were drinking champagne and saying "Happy New Year" to everyone we came across (not me because I don't partake in alcoholic beverages). Continuing on the theme of some of my previous blogs, what I aspire for the New Year, is to treat my fellow man or woman with respect and hope that they reciprocate and do the same. We started off the New Year here at CTU, showing how our love and respect for one another is still alive and well. We had a celebration for one of our employees, she is a fixture at CTU, and she has actually been with the CTU community for over 20 years. Her spirits were low and the community, which is CTU, noticed and put into motion a flash mob celebration. The reason I bring this up is because although initially this was for one person, we all ended up celebrating and remembering why we love CTU as much as we do. This was one of those real fuzzy moments that you hope would linger for more than just a few minutes, and it did – this was two weeks ago and we are all still talking about how much it meant to all of us. Remember, treat or at least try to treat your fellow man with kindness and love, it is really not that hard.

Frankfurt - Fashion south of the "Main-stream"
A visit to Frankfurt simply has to include Sachsenhausen, which offers something for everyone. There's the Museum Embankment for Culture vultures, the bar and club district for night owls, and for fresh air fiends, the city has its very own woods… Fashion lovers in search of a distinctive look will be rewarded mainly on Brückenstraße and Wallstraße, where over the past few years more and more young designers have been opening their own, lovingly and individually styled boutiques.
Fashion south of the "Main-stream"
Unique creations for women, not collections! Fashion designer Natascha Spendics only ever produces one of anything, and her range covers skirts, dresses and tops. Spendics is as good at funky casuals as she is at classic business outfits, and her mother sells very appealing jewelry and accessories at the boutique, too.
Frauenzimmer: Wallstraße 4, Tel.: +49-(0)69/60 60 71 17. Open: Mon-Fri 11am-7pm, Sat 11am-4pm. www.frauen-zimmer.net
Charlotte am Main:
Gorgeously girly! Designer Charlotte Chiara Köhler specializes in wonderful skirts, dresses and blouses. Although she brings out new collections and unique creations every fall/winter and spring/summer season, her clothes promise to be eminently wearable years from now. Style: timeless, delicate, purist.
Charlotte am Main: Wallstrasse 26, Tel.: +49-(0)69/97 69 09 03. Open: Mon-Fri 12 noon-7pm, Sat 11am-5pm. www.charlotteammain.de
Must haves! No one truly needs anything that crosses the counter here, but most of the articles are simply way too beautiful and frivolous to be left lying in the shop window: accessories, jewelry and fashion from labels like Adelheid, Gretchen, Kiki's, Pomp-Art, Swarovski and Zinnober.
Blütenstaub: Wallstraße 26, Tel.: +49-(0)69/60 32 95 99. Open: Tue/Wed 10am-6pm, Thu/Fri 11am-7pm, Sat 11am-4pm. www.bluetenstaub-laden.de
Ich war ein Dirndl:
Vintage, baby! Jutta Haag, the designer at this boutique, started her career riding the retro wave – and created a stream of new models, using old fabrics, often salvaged from second hand clothes, to create original and unique pieces. These days, she also makes the most of brand-new materials, but her dresses, sweaters, shirts, jewelry and cushions have lost none of their creativity. She also stocks articles featuring Frankfurt motifs with a difference that make fantastic souvenirs.
Ich war ein Dirndl: Hedderichstraße 47, Tel.: +49-(0)69/ 66 12 77 44. Open: Mon-Fri 11am-8pm, Sat 11am-5pm. www.ichwareindirndl.de
noa boa:
Trendy, stylish – and really comfy, too! noa boa's clothes for mothers to be combine elegance with practicality. Special favorites are the sexy lingerie for expectant and nursing mothers. A wide selection of baby and kids' fashions in all styles from cool to cuddly keep mom and dad returning time and time once baby has arrived, too.
noa boa: Brückenstrasse 41, Tel.: +49-(0)69/66 96 49 23. Open: Mon-Fri 10am-7pm, Sat 10am-6pm. www.noaboa.de
designe, kleine!:
Shop for rent! No, this store isn't looking out for a new owner, but for more and more new designers and their accessories, bags, jewelry or other knick-knacks. For 20 euros a month, young designers can rent their own showcase to display – and sell – their works. Who knows, maybe one of the present tenants will be so successful that sooner rather than later, he or she will be able to open their very own boutique in the Brückenstraße district?
designe, kleine!: Wallstraße 26 (entrance on Brückenstraße), Tel.: +49-(0)177/451 68 24. Open: Mon-Fri 10:30am-7:30pm, Sat 10:30am-5:30pm. www.designe-kleine.de
