COUGARS HOST WOLVERINES IN CBE: The Washington State University men's basketball (1-0) hosts Utah Valley University (1-1) in its second game of the season, Wednesday, Nov. 14 at 7 p.m. at Beasley Coliseum. The game will be televised live on the Pac-12 Networks as Kevin Calabro and Lamar Hurd have the call, marking the basketball team's second appearance on the networks. Bud Nameck, in his 20th year with Cougar Basketball, will have the call on the Cougar IMG Radio Network. Please see the front page of today's notes for a complete listing of affiliates. Live updates can be found on Twitter by following @WSUMensHoops, the official Twitter account of Washington State men's basketball.
Wednesday will mark the first meeting between Washington State and Utah Valley.
Utah Valley is a member of the Great West Conference, one of five basketball members.
The Cougars have faced just one of those five members, Texas-Pan American.
WSU is 3-1 against UTPA, having won the last three matchups...the two teams met most recently during the 2010-11 season, prior to that during the 2001-02, 2000-01 and 1999-2000 seasons.
With its win over Eastern Washington in its season opener, WSU improved to 43-0 all-time in the month of November at Friel Court.
The Cougars have won 43-straight November games in Pullman and are 45-1 (the loss came before the Cougars moved into Beasley Coliseum). WSU's only loss in Pullman in November came against Colorado State, Nov., 30, 1962, by a score of 77-47.
The Cougars are 1-0 after defeating Eastern Washington, 88-69, Saturday Nov. 10 in their season opener at Beasley Coliseum.
Brock Motum picked up where he left off with his fourth career double-double of 23 points and 10 rebounds...he added two blocked shots.
Fellow senior Mike Ladd and sophomore DaVonté Lacy chipped in 15 points apiece, while D.J. Shelton hit the boards hard for a career-high 12 rebounds.
Royce Woolridge, Junior Longrus, Brett Boese, James Hunter, Dominic Ballard and Keaton Hayenga each made their debuts for the Cougars.
Woolridge was the only non-returning letterwinner to start for the Cougars...the redshirt sophomore sat out last year due to NCAA transfer rules after transferring from Kansas.
Woolridge finished with 7 points, 2 assists and 1 blocked shot while starting at point guard.
The team boasts two returning starters, including 2011-12 Pac-12 leading scorer, Brock Motum.
Joining Motum and sophomore DaVonté Lacy are six more returning letterwinners and two returning squad members.
Among the returning letterwinners are senior guard Mike Ladd, junior forward Will DiIorio, redshirt sophomore guard Dexter Kernich-Drew and redshirt junior forward D.J. Shelton, along with squad members sophomore Royce Woolridge and freshman Dominic Ballard, both whom redshirted last season.
Joining this year's squad are four transfers and two true freshmen.
Two of the transfers, Jordan Railey (Iowa State) and Brett Kingma (Oregon) will sit out this season due to NCAA transfer rules, but Keaton Hayenga and James Hunter, and Brett Boese and Bryce Leavitt will be eligible immediately.
WSU lost three starters from last season's team; Marcus Capers and Abe Lodwick, who graduated following their senior seasons and Reggie Moore, who was dismissed from the team this fall.
Seniors Faisal Aden and Charlie Enquist and sophomore Patrick Simon are also gone from last year's team after playing notable minutes for the Cougs.
With 956 points, senior Brock Motum is just 44 points away from becoming the 33rd Cougar to reach 1,000 career points and the third in the last four seasons.
Klay Thompson scored his 1,000th point during the 2009-10 season and Reggie Moore reached 1,000 points in the Cougs second-to-last game of the 2011-12 season.
The Cougars spent two weeks in Australia, Aug. 3-16, 2012, as part of an NCAA approved international tour.
The team made stops in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane/Gold Coast and Cairns, playing five games in all.
WSU went 2-3 in those games, three of them against teams of the NBL (National Basketball League), Australia's highest professional league.
Brock Motum averaged 27.2 points in the five games, including a 41-point output against the Cairns Taipans in the final game of the tour.
Reggie Moore averaged 13.0, Dexter Kernich-Drew 8.4 and Mike Ladd 6.4 points per game.
The Cougar roster contains three Aussies; Motum (Brisbane), Kernich-Drew (Melbourne) and James Hunter (Sydney).
Senior Brock Motum is one of 50 preseason candidates for the 2012-13 John R. Wooden Award.
Motum is the second Cougar in three seasons to make the list, as Klay Thompson was named to the preseason top-50 prior to the 2010-11 season.
Before that, Derrick Low and Kyle Weaver were both named to the preseason top-50 for the 2007-08 season. Thompson went on to make the midseason top-30 cut in 2010-11, as did Low in 2007-08.
This season's preseason list contains student-athletes from 16 different conferences, including four from the Pac-12 Conference.
Motum is joined by André Roberson (Colorado), Allen Crabbe (California), and Solomon Hill (Arizona).
WSU defeated Saint Martin's, 62-60, Tuesday, Nov. 6 in exhibition action at Beasley Coliseum.
Brock Motum led all scorers with 21 points, while Mike Ladd added 12 points and 7 rebounds.
Royce Woolridge finished with 10 points and a game-high 3 steals, while D.J. Shelton led the team with 9 rebounds.
Washington State competed in the College Basketball Invitational (CBI) in 2011-12, marking the first CBI and 12th overall postseason appearance in school history.
WSU advanced to the championship series, marking the second-straight season the Cougars have reached at least the semifinals of their postseason tournament...last year WSU advanced to the semifinals of the National Invitation Tournament (NIT) in New York, falling to eventual-champion Wichita State in the semifinals.
The Cougars are 17-13 all-time in postseason play.
WSU also compiled its most single-season postseason wins with a 4-2 record in the CBI...last season the Cougars went 3-1 in the NIT.
In the last two seasons WSU has gone 7-3 in postseason play.
WSU has made it to six NCAA Tournaments (6-6) and five NITs (7-5).
Washington State became the third Pac-12 school to advance to the championship round of the CBI as Oregon State won in 2008 and Oregon won the tournament in 2011.
Washington State junior Brock Motum had a breakout season in 2011-12 as he led the Cougars and the Pac-12 in scoring in both the overall games and conference only games.
Motum averaged 18.0 points per game in all games, edging out Oregon State's Jared Cunningham with 17.9 points per game.
In league games the Australian averaged 20.7 points per game, over a point per game ahead of Cunningham with 19.2 points per game.
He also ranked sixth in field goal percentage (.554) and seventh in rebounds per game (6.4 rpg), making him the only player in the Pac-12 to rank in the top-13 in scoring, field goal percentage and rebounding.
Motum finished the season ranked 38th in the country in points per game and 26th in field goal percentage.
In contrast to his junior season, Motum played 799 minutes in 54 games his first two seasons combined at Washington State...this season he clocked 1,072 minutes of action.
In his first two seasons he averaged 5.9 points and 2.3 rebounds a game, but still did it at a high shooting clip, .591.
Last season alone Motum had 293 more points than he did in his first two seasons combined (613 compared to 320), and averaged 18.0 points per game, 12.1 more points than his first two seasons.
Motum also had 216 rebounds last season, more than his 72 his first two years combined, for a 6.4 rebounding average, over four rebounds more a game.
He continued to shoot at a high clip at .554 last season for a .567 career field goal percentage.
Junior Brock Motum grabbed his 200th rebound of the 2011-12 season March 7 in the Pac-12 Tournament and had 613 points and 216 rebounds last season.
He joined two other Cougars, Steve Puidokas and Larry Beck as the only WSU players to reach 500 points and 200 boards in a season.
Beck had 506 points and 214 rebounds in 1955-56, while Puidokas recorded 559 points and 259 rebounds in 1974-75.
The Cougars have been very active in the community over the last two years.

In just about every way imaginable I am what you would call a "Marvel fanboy". Grew up on Marvel Comics, still read them faithfully and probably always will. But Marvel's movies haven't always hit the mark for me, and the one that did the least was Captain America: The First Avenger. Not that it was bad, but the character suffers from much the same problem as Superman. He's a hyper-patriotic (practically draped in the flag) Boy Scout whose every move is totally predictable. The last film's retro WWII vibe was a novel way to vary Marvel's expanding franchise by putting Cap in his natural element as the unabashed hero against the evil Nazis.
But transporting Cap into the modern world, one filled with shades of grey, paranoid government bureaucrats and rampaging super villains, should have been a more difficult task. And yet, the shadowy world of espionage and Black Ops proves to be exactly where Steve Rogers belongs as Captain America: The Winter Soldier is not only the most action-packed Marvel movie yet; it's also one of the smartest conspiracy thrillers we've seen in a long time. Couldn't be the presence of Robert Redford, could it? Nah, what would he know about such things?
Chris Evans slips into the role he seems to have been born to play, that of the altruistic hero Captain America, who is still trying to acclimate to a world he doesn't recognize. That's more than just figuring out how to work an IPOD or catching up on pop culture, it's figuring out who the bad guys when they seem to be everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Like Three Days of the Condor and The Bourne Identity jacked up on super serum, the film takes us on a dizzying ride through the murky world of SHIELD, the peace-keeping organization run by the king of all spies, Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson). After a brief, comedic introduction to Sam Wilson aka Falcon (Anthony Mackie), Cap and Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) are sent on a mysterious mission to a hijacked vessel, taken over by the French savate supervillain, Batroc the Leaper. But he finds a superior opponent in Captain America, who unleashes a lethal combination of acrobatic and brutal shield-slinging violence. Although the vessel is reclaimed, they soon come to learn that SHIELD, and specifically Fury, weren't telling them the whole truth. After Fury is suddenly attacked by the bionic-armed assassin the Winter Soldier, it begins to look like someone within SHIELD is taking out heavy-hitters. Those fears are confirmed in an awesome elevator brawl between Cap and a crack SHIELD unit led by Brock Rumlow (Frank Grillo), the future villain known as Crossbones.
One thing Marvel has always done better than DC Comics, and continues to excel at on the big screen, is make their movies topical and relevant to today's issues. As SHIELD tightens its global grip in an attempt to maintain order in a rapidly changing world, Cap sees it as instilling fear to tame the populace. Fury "takes the world as it is", and sees it as a necessary step in the war against terror, but Cap still holds true to his possibly antiquated notions of good and evil. While nobody's going to claim the topic is explored in any real depth, it serves as the perfect way to throw Cap for an even greater loop. What does a soldier like him do when punching somebody isn't going to solve anything?
Not that there isn't plenty of punching to be found, and directors Joe and Anthony Russo have proven they can do a lot more than comedy. The duo, who most people have probably never heard of, have long established their comedic chops, but nobody saw them as action directors. It was Marvel's ballsiest gamble yet hiring them for this gig, and they do not disappoint. Not only is the pace heart-stopping brisk and unrelenting, but it packs the immediacy and grounded tone of Paul Greengrass' 'Bourne' flicks. Even better, the early stages of the film aren't drowning in CGI baddies flying, all of that is saved for the super-sized final battle, and even then it all works. By the time Anthony Mackie is swooping around a SHIELD heli-carrier (those things always crash, so why build them?) in an incredible dogfight, you'll be in comic book geek heaven.
Speaking of Mackie, he's another great addition to Marvel's growing roster of stars you want to see more of. Always the coolest guy in every movie he's in, Mackie brings a much-needed swagger not just to this film, but to the entire Marvel Universe. And what makes Falcon even more impressive is that he is another character, much like Black Widow and Hawkeye, who is formidable without the need of super powers. Evans and Johansson are so comfortable in their roles now that they pull them off with ease. Evans is always best when he gets to crack a few jokes, and the banter between Cap and Widow is very light and funny. Redford gets to play against type, setting aside his fiercely liberal politics as a SHIELD higher-up, adding even closer Three Days of the Condor ties. Others don't fare so well. Without giving anything away to those unfamiliar with the classic Ed Brubaker comics storyline, the mystery of the Winter Soldier's identity feels secondary considering the movie's title, and the actor portraying him giving little to do but look like a bad ass. Emily VanVamp turns up as Agent 13, a potential love interest for Cap. But she, much like the Winter Soldier, is due to have bigger parts in the already-confirmed sequel, so perhaps they were being held back.
There are plenty of cameos and Easter Eggs to be found for those who look for them, and more than any other this feels like the first real follow-up to The Avengers. Marvel has been hitting on all cylinders of late, and Captain America: The Winter Soldier takes them to a new level of excellence. They've done it by taking risks both in front of and behind the camera; expanding the scope, trying out new genres, and never forgetting to show the humanity behind these amazing characters. They've somehow managed to make Captain America the most interesting, compelling Avenger of all. Sorry, Tony Stark! If they can pull that off, then the sky is truly the limit what else can be accomplished.

Columbia has hired Jeff Wadlow to rewrite the "Masters of the Universe" reboot, this according to a report by The Hollywood Reporter.
"Masters of the Universe" is based on the popular Hasbro 1980s toy line of the same name.
The previous big screen adaptation of "Masters of the Universe" starred Dolph Lundgren as He-man and Frank Langella as the dark lord Skeletor. The film was both a critical and commercial failure but has garnered a cult following due to its over the top performances and low-budget special effects.
The reboot has been in development since 2009, with many different writers reworking the script.
There is no director attached to the reboot. "GI Joe: Retaliation" Helmer, Jon M. Chu, was previously attached to the film but recently dropped out of the project. Wadlow, who wrote and directed 'Kick-Ass 2,' has only been hired to rewrite the script, but it is still possible he will be given the director's chair.
Wadlow is currently working on "X-Force" for Fox. A release date for "Masters of the Universe" has not been announced.

One of the oldest tricks U.S. industry has used to hide the potential harm to public health done by chemicals it puts into the environment is to claim that their identities are trade secrets via a loophole established under the antiquated Toxic Substance Control Act of 1976.

If necessary, make a separate appointment with your doctor and get answers to the following:
Is this medication approved by the FDA to treat my condition"A drug that's not approved isn't necessarily ineffective, but it's probably less well studied than approved medications," says Caleb G. Alexander, MD, an antidepressant researcher at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
If it's not FDA approved, what evidence is there that it
works? "You're entitled to know what type of proof there is that an antidepressant will help you," says Jennifer Wider, MD, a women's-health specialist and spokesperson for the Society of Women's Health Research.
What are the typical side effects? "Almost all medications have them, and it's important to know what they are so you can weigh the pros and cons of taking a particular drug," says Wider.
How long should it take for the drug to work? Most antide-pressants kick in within a few weeks, but it makes sense to ask what to expect.
How long will I have to stay on the medi-cation? "It's a very good idea to discuss an exit strategy with your doctor since many people don't want to stay on medication for the rest of their lives," Wider says.
Is the drug covered by insurance when used off-label? Coverage varies by drug and illness, so check with your doctor or insurer.

Time M.E. Rick Stengel to Butler Grads: 'Knowledge Is Not Free'
Wednesday, May 16, 2012
On May 12, Time managing editor (since June 2006) Rick Stengel--who played basketball while an undergrad at Princeton more than three decades ago--was the commencement speaker at Indianapolis' Butler University, which was the NCAA men's basketball runner-up in 2010 and 2011.
But basketball was not on Stengel's mind last Saturday. Rather, it was the importance of separating information, which "is everywhere, and it's largely free," with knowledge, "which is scarce and valuable--and you might just have to pay for it."
"Information is data; knowledge is understanding. Information is statistics; knowledge is insight. Information is foreground; knowledge is background," he said.
Stengel gave this close-to-the-vest example:
"Information feels like it's free because it comes to you in a frictionless way with a click on your keyboard. But the information – the knowledge you get from a Time story about the Middle East comes at the cost of keeping correspondents in Iraq and Afghanistan and Pakistan and Jerusalem.That's not free. And those people are often risking their lives to bring you that information and knowledge.

PAX Prime is a pretty large event and many big players are going to be bringing their A-games to show off to those who are attending. Nintendo revealed today that they will be bringing the Wii U to PAX Prime this year and anyone who visits them at booth #462 will find a number of titles to play on the new console.
Wii U games playable at the booth
Besides the Wii U games, Nintendo will be showing off unreleased 3DS and DS titles on the 2nd and 3rd levels of the North Galleria in the Nintendo Gaming Lounge. Plus, PAX Prime attendees can collect stickers throughout the convention in an effort to promote Paper mario: Sticker Star. If you can manage to collect all three stickers then you can get a special bonus sticker at the Nintendo Gaming Lounge. Neat!

We have found that organizers rarely speak to people outside our own circles or "silos" and therefore don't develop the relationships that can nurture a broad movement for social justice. Rather than examine the things that divide us, let understand and learn from one another. SPEED MENTORING We will also have a time for organizers who want to mentor others and for organizers looking for mentors to connect. Sponsored by the National Organizers Alliance (see: www.noacentral.org) and an organizing committee (in formation). For more details click here.
The Department of Sociology and the Center for the Study of Social Justice hosted a conference on Social Justice and the University, Friday, April 29 - Sunday, May 1, 2011 at the Howard H. Baker Jr. Center for Public Policy on the University of Tennessee Campus, Knoxville. The Conference used the idea of social justice to explore the challenges universities face in meeting the economic, social, and global pressures of the 21st century. Keynote addresses given by Frances Fox Piven, one of the foremost political sociologists in the country (recently targeted by Glenn Beck), former director of the Highlander Center John Gaventa, and Erik Olin Wright, Vilas Distinguished Professor of Sociology, University of Wisconsin-Madison, President Elect of the American Sociological Association. Panels will include academic speakers and community members including NOA Director Walter Davis. For more details, click here.
As the year begins, my role as Executive Director of the National Organizers Alliance ends. I will continue as chair of the board of directors and take on other tasks as needed. It has been an amazing four and a half years. Follow this link for message.
Lois Marie Gibbs, Executive Director of the Center for Health, Environment & Justice (CHEJ) informs us of malicious vandalism against CHEJ. On Wednesday evening (Dec. 28th) just before midnight someone entered the building that houses CHEJ's offices and cut the trunk line in the telephone system that serves their phones and internet. The end of year is a prime time for grassroots fundraising as well as spreading the word about campaigns. The timing and specific objective of the vandalism suggests intentional and targeted harm to a group fighting for environmental justice. Recent evidence of spying on CHEJ and Greenpeace by polluters demonstrates how serious a matter this is. Show you support and spread the word. Sabotage.
The link above updates the story of LAANE's push back against the attack we told you about in the summer. We stand with individuals and groups facing attacks for the good organizing work they do. LAANE is doing important work in California and deserves support. LAANE is facing a threat from political operatives working for privileged economic elites. Get the story of the good work of LAANE and how to pushback against the threat from the right. More.
The NOA Board is pleased to announce that it is transferring a property to the Windcall Resident Program. Windcall gives community organizers a respite from the daily grind to rest, refresh and restore. Our Tennessee property has served a similar purpose on a very limited level. Now this resource can be used as part of the overall assets benefiting organizers in all parts of the country. Since 1989, Windcall has hundreds hosted of organizers with its unique opportunities for reflection and renewal. We salute its commitment to people of color, women and those who work in under resourced sectors. Read about it. Support Windcall and consider applying for a memorable experience.
It has been a year of constant struggle in almost every state legislature and in many local governments and school boards. Attacks on basic civil rights, hard won social benefits, collective bargaining of public employees and human rights protections have been too common. We have seen anti-immigrant, racist and anti-choice initiatives, as well as the assault on academic freedom on a growing number of campuses. For more, link.
At the 2010 US Social Forum, NOA and the DataCenter released Sustaining Organizing: A Survey of Organizations During the Economic Downturn, an analysis of a survey conducted with 203 organizations engaged in community organizing and movement building work. The study looks at the impact of the recession on our work and resources.
NOA's Ark Magazine continues to examine the state of the organizing movement. Issue 27 features viewpoints on the ACORN controversy, immigrant rights and the Obama administration, the fight for healthcare reform, developments in the labor movement and much more. Download here.

For a number of passengers sailing on Carnival cruises, the view is improving dramatically. The line is in the midst of a dry-dock program that includes the addition of 48 balconies in total to Carnival Destiny, Carnival Triumph and Carnival Liberty. Carnival Triumph is also being outfitted with two new Penthouse Suites.
So what's the deal?
Carnival Destiny recently emerged from a September dry-dock with 16 new balcony cabins. In addition to the verandas, the ship was also retrofitted with Carnival's Seaside Theater, the popular poolside movie screen introduced in 2005 on Carnival Freedom.
Carnival Triumph is currently in dry-dock, and is scheduled to return to service this Sunday, October 5, with 14 new balconies plus the Seaside Theater.
Carnival Liberty will enter a two-week dry dock this Sunday, and balconies will be added to 18 of its cabins. For the up-market Fun Ship crowd, Carnival Liberty's getting two huge new Penthouse Suites. Each will accommodate five people and feature a living area with a sofa bed, a separate bedroom, a balcony and two full bathrooms -- including one with a tub. At 750 square ft., Liberty's Penthouse Suites will become by far the largest cabins in the fleet. The current largest are the 430-square-ft. Penthouse Suites found on several ships. The new suites will be located on Deck 9, forward; at this point, cruise line spokespersons are unable to tell us what exactly they're replacing.
For all three ships, the balconies are being added to cabins that currently feature floor-to-ceiling windows; cabins will be 230 square ft. (including balcony). Carnival's standard cabins are already some of the most spacious in the industry.
Routine maintenance -- including new carpeting and upholstery, as well as more technical updates -- is also part of the dry-dock program for all three. Most cruise ships head into dry-dock every two years.

Radio Veritas DZRV 846 kHz Additional Information
Radio Veritas (DZRV 846 kHz Metro Manila) is an AM station owned and operated by the Roman Catholic Church, Archdiocese of Manila through the Global Broadcasting System in the Philippines. The studio is located at Veritas Tower in Quezon City and its transmitter are located at Brgy Look, Malolos, Bulacan. Only a few radio stations can claim to have changed the landscape of Philippine history. Radyo Veritas is one of them. It played a pivotal role during the 1986 EDSA Revolution that toppled the Marcos regime by being the voice of reason and temperance at a time of great political upheaval. But ultimately, Radyo Veritas' key role is not political but spiritual. The "Voice of Asian Christianity's" two-fold objectives – evangelization and human development, are the guiding principles with which it reaches out to the millions of Filipinos that tune into them. And this is reflected in the Radyo station's programming. Its Radyo programs touch on matters of Christian faith – dialogue with religions and cultures, catechesis, the role of the church in the modern world, doctrine, Liturgy, Sacraments, etc. For its developmental features, Radyo Veritas Asia broadcasts programs on health, community development, science and technology, women and youth, the family, folklore, history, and other related features.

Cannibalism Reports in Los Angels Feared Linked to "Zombie" Attacks in Florida and Texas…
Zombie Put Down by LAPD
Rev. Billy Ray Sunday
(On assignment in Los Angeles)
May 31, 2012 / 2129 hours
<chris†wire> This morning shortly after 7:00 am, Los Angeles County Health Officer, Dr. Déwei Nguyen, MD announced that sporadic reports of cannibalism have been reported in Los Angeles' downtown district late last night. Fearing the reports are linked to the spread of the so-called "Zombie Apocalypse," California Governor Jerry Brown has declared Los Angeles County under a state of emergency.
Also known as "bath salts Zombies" a name first coined by the local media in reference to drug dealers who use bath salts to "stomp on" their drugs (LSD, Meth, Coke, and Heroin) to increase the dealer's quantity thereby sharply increasing profits. Street slang for using bath salts to cut high grade narcotics is called the… "Zombie Pathogen," since bath salts rapidly increase the body's temperature to the point of cooking the brain usually resulting in psychotic episodes, seizures, violence and death.
Similar cases of impromptu cannibal attacks began just days ago with the first incident occurring in Florida, then 24 hours later in Texas. The panic driven American media circus immediately coined the two events as the "2012 Zombie Apocalypse." Officials with the CDC confirmed a short time ago that the Florida and Texas incidents have been linked to the dangerous practice of mixing the so-called Zombie Pathogen.
Infected with the Zombie Pathogen
Once this deadly recipe is ingested by unsuspecting users its affects cannot be predicted. CDC officials are closely monitoring the situation and hope to contain distribution of these tainted drugs to the three primary areas where Zombie-type attacks have already occurred.
Los Angeles County officials are asking everyone to remain calm and to remain indoors. Dr. Nguyen added "We are working closely with CDC officials to determine if the few cases of cannibalism reported late last night in Los Angeles are linked to the spread of the Zombie Pathogen.
Rev. Billy Ray Sunday Delivers His Renown Hell's Fire & Damnation Sermon Calling Sinners to Repent
Earlier LAPD spokesmen, Capt. Arturo Sanchez confirmed the LAPD 911 communications center had received scant reports of spontaneous acts of cannibalism from Los Angeles' Garment District, Little Tokyo and Lincoln Heights areas. Sanchez added the LAPD and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department believe they have already quarantined all those suspected of being affected.
I was fortunate enough too call an old Christian friend after arriving at LAX who happens to be a patrol division lieutenant with the LAPD to see if I could get additional details. My friend arraigned to have me ride along with him when a multi-agency rescue effort begins in the downtown area. The LAPD's objective is too locate and transport all unaffected civilians to a make shift triage facility set up by the National Guard at the L.A. Coliseum. Using my Nikon D3X SLR camera I will document what I observe and upload the images to chrisTwire as soon as possible.
San Fernando Police Officer Jake Tollifer Checks Possible Zombie from a Distance
Dr. Nguyen, and CDC spokesperson Garrett Joplin have just issued a short press release confirming trace evidence of the Zombie Pathogen has been found at all three LA crime scenes where cannibal attacks occurred last night.
Daylight Zombie Kill on City Street
The LAPD is now arriving in downtown Los Angeles en masse. Many SWAT vehicles are seen with LAPD's air support above. Considering it's a weekday afternoon the downtown area is a surreal scene. Normally thousands of people would be walking, driving and going about their daily business, but today the downtown area looks almost deserted.
Small groups of people stand on street corners talking and looking at the strange spectacle, many appear to be homeless, but all have taken notice of the eerie silence that has fallen over the city. A number of cars, most on surface streets appear in a hurry to leave downtown.

After 12 years Tom Szkutak is getting set to step down from the office of CFO (chief executive officer) at Seattle-based Amazon. It is a position that Mr. Szkutak has held since he joined the Seattle-based giant in October of 2002. He will remain at the company for the next 9 months transferring his duties over to Brian Olsavsky who will take over in June of 2015.
"It's been a privilege for me to work with so many talented people who are continually inventing on behalf of customers, and now I look forward to spending more time with my family and other outside interests," said Tom Szkutak in a pres release. "I've worked very closely with Brian Olsavsky over the past 12 years and have seen firsthand how talented he is, and I have confidence that he will be a great CFO for Amazon.com.."
During his time as CFO, Amazon has seen itself grow from a small etailor to the large multimedia behemoth that it today. Some of the most notable areas of growth under Mr. Sxkutak's tenure have been: AWS (Amazon web services), the Kindle line of e-readers, tablets and smartrphone, the Prime network and dozens of acquisitions. One of the biggest criticisms has been the small profits that the company has experienced during the last few years of the rapid expansion.
Before coming to Amazon, Mr. Szkutak attended Boston University where he earned a bachelors degree in finance. He then went on to work at General Electric where he held a number of positions over his 20 years that saw him rise to the rank of CFO from September of 2001- September of 2002. Mr.Szkutak is also an advisory for Amazon subsidiary A9.com, product search engine.
Before joining Amazon in April of 2002 Brian Olsavsky earned a bachelors of science degree in mechanical engineering from Penn State University and a master of business administration degree in finance from Carnegie Mellon University.

The nightmare on East Benham Lane is over. The aftermath is, we have 14 adult dogs and six puppies that are in need of medical attention, along with close to 20 cats at South Coast Humane Society also in need.
The living conditions that the humans and animals were subjected to were unacceptable, in my opinion. Nothing had been done about the condition of the dogs and cats – some needed immediate medical attention. We see it all the time on TV, and now, we as a community get to see it up close and personal.
If you have not done so already, please stop by the shelter and visit these animals. They're in need of human kindness, love – and most of all – respect. Only one of the dogs, Munchie, knows how to play, as he was the "guard" dog out front behind the fence, the one who barked and scared everyone away. He really is a kind, gentle soul that will show you around the shelter for a snack. He was in the van when we arrived, and I went right in, and for a juicy piece of sausage he was more than willing to go. (Very smart of him.)
The dogs are settling in better each day. They were all given their shots, wormed, flea treated, ears cleaned and medicated, and toenails trimmed. They received their rabies shot at the shelter Monday, given by volunteer Dr. Jan Hammer. Pennies for Pooches pays for all the medicine in the shelter's medicine chest. None of these dogs are spayed or neutered, and several of them have serious skin conditions.
Pennies for Pooches also pays for all the Science Diet dog food. Yes, Science Diet gives us a shelter price, but it is still another cost that Pennies pays out of their little fund. The amount of food we received over the weekend was awesome, as we were not able to bump up our order until this week, and we were running low. Several bags of special food for sensitive skin came in as well as regular dog food. Puppy chow rolled in, followed by bags and bags of chew bones and milk bones.
Collars were next. Woof's gave a screaming rate for people, and here they came. Elizabeth and Pete De Russo stopped in to see what we needed. Their shopping list was long, as they were headed to the valley. They saw the need for Kuranda beds and immediately ordered five.
I got home last Wednesday night, laid my head down and cried. I cried for the dogs, as they do not know what just happened or what it is to be a real dog, how to play and fetch a ball, or what it's like to go on a walk. I cried thankful tears for a county that has very kind, caring people in it; I cried because what I experienced that Wednesday afternoon was something I never want to see again. Thank you Deputy Kim Wood for that phone call, and thank you Curry County Sheriff's Office for immediately responding to help these desperate animals.
Before I leave the shelter at night, I always tell the dogs goodnight and tell them I love them. When I went home Thursday, I entered the kennels and looked at these dogs and my heart filled with joy. For the first time in their lives, they were on real beds with clean blankets – blankets not filled with urine and feces. They had eaten a swell meal to fill their stomachs, and no dogs were barking. Thirty-eight dogs – and it was very quiet. All their needs were met. It was then I said those three important words, "I love you." I meant it from my heart, and from the bottom of my soul. The compassion they brought out in me was unbelievable.
When I eat lunch in the office and it's filled with dogs, I tell them it's bad manners to beg. (They all stare at me, and of course I let them help me stay slim by giving them half.)
Now, I'm going to demonstrate some bad manners myself and beg like a dog – on behalf of the dogs. I know these are tough times, and it's hard to spare any money, but Pennies for Pooches is in need of your help.
Once Curry County Animal Shelter gets custody of these precious souls (only six have been surrendered so far) we will begin the vet trips. These will include spaying and neutering, skin scraping, and treating ear-mites, yeast infections in the ears, and eye infections. These all need to be addressed, and to address them we need money. Please, I am begging.
God bless everyone who has responded to our pleas already, and God bless all those of you who will also respond. All creatures great and small, God created them all.
Donations may be made to Pennies for Pooches (a 501c3) P.O. Box 1883, Gold Beach, OR 97444.
You can see the dogs on Curry County Animal Shelter's Facebook page, and they soon will be posted on petfinder. The shelter may be contacted at 541 247-2514.
Take a deep breath, as Undersheriff Rector tells me, and by taking one day at a time, we as a community will deal with this horrific case of animal neglect.
Thanks to everyone, and to the Pilot for their time and space in the paper.

Embattled Cayman premier says fight for immigrants led to legal woes
Byron Buckley, Associate Editor
BELEAGUERED PREMIER of the Cayman Islands, William McKeeva Bush, says his attempt to improve the immigration status of Jamaicans caused a "bang up" between himself and the governor - Duncan Taylor - of the British territory.
Bush, who was arrested in his home country Tuesday on suspicion of theft, breach of trust, abuse of office and conflict of interest, has high praises for Jamaicans who have worked in Cayman over the years in a variety of occupations.
"Cayman never had an abundance of nurses, carpenters and other artisans. That's what Jamaica gave us - some of the best tile layers," Bush told The Gleaner this week while visiting the island as keynote speaker at the University College of the Caribbean's commencement ceremony. Jamaicans, he added, continue to make their contribution to Cayman's development as doctors, business people, teachers and officers of the court.
Bush said the fallout with his political detractors came because he had granted citizenship to "people whose human rights were being abused, and the vast majority of them were Jamaicans".
In 2005, the Cayman Island administration (now in Opposition) introduced visa requirements for Jamaicans to enter that country in response to advocacy by the local Chamber of Commerce following the increase of Jamaican nationals going to Cayman as a result of the economic boom there in the wake of Hurricane Ivan.
"They were hyped up because I had made people citizens," Bush remarked.
On his party's return to office, Bush proposed to amend the visa requirements for Jamaicans making children under the age of 15 years, persons over the age of 70 years, or in possession of a valid Canadian, United Kingdom or United States visa exempt.
"But the governor refused it; that was one of the bang up he and I had," Bush related.
In a September 2011 statement Governor Duncan Taylor said:
"Having taken advice on the matter and acting in line with my discretion as set out in Section 33 (2) (b) of the Constitution, I reluctantly concluded that I could not agree to this proposal because I was concerned that the waiver would introduce risks to internal security, an area of special responsibility for me as governor."
"I know that the vast majority of Jamaicans are law-abiding citizens. This includes residents who make a positive contribution to our society and economy in the Cayman Islands; and short-term visitors, including business visitors, whose visits are welcome and trouble-free. There is, unfortunately, a small minority who have the potential to cause problems."
"The problem is that I am advised that there is a lively market in forged and counterfeit documentation in Jamaica, including in visas for the UK, the US and Canada ... ."
Bush said that currently the labour market is down in his country but when it rebounds, there will be the usual demand for skilled artisans from Jamaica.

For this project I followed the river Usk from the source- in the Brecon Beacons National Park - to the Estuary, which is just after the city of Newport. I used the river as a lead trough the landscape for taking my photographs.
The further downriver the broader and faster the river becomes. I explored how the landscape is influenced by people and nature. And in which way this is changing during the leap of the river.
I am always looking for constructions and the exceptions in it. During this project I have looked for situations where people have influenced the landscape. Sometimes human traces are directly visible but sometimes they are more subtle. The further you come downriver the more civilised it gets around the river area. And even at places where a lot of people live is 'nature'.

Never Mind The
Terrorists: Your Atheism
Will Put You In Hell
Dan Plovanich
Amidst almost universal grief and shock over the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 -- and while clergymen of various sects struggle with trying to explain to a skeptical public why a good God would allow such horrendous evil to occur -- and along with almost universal approval of the prospect of that God sending the culprits directly to Hell without so much as a fair trial -- and while friends and opponents alike condemn PAM for criticizing President Bush because he used this tragedy as an excuse to direct the nation through various religious rituals specific to his (Bush's) religous belief's -- after enduring all this in a single week, now a Christian named Dan Plovanich writes to inform us that we're going to spend eternity writhing in the unquenchable flames of the Christian Hell simply for not believing in the correct religion!
Let's use this exchange to keep a little perspective before we launch our salvoes against those of us who still fear for our future even beyond the immediate danger of a bloody and potentially devastating war.

To whomever it may concern,
The notion of "positive atheism" has to be the oxymoron of all time.
You are positive about your belief in nothingness?
I'll see you on the other side when you stand in front of the judgement of Christ, and we'll see how much you believe in nothingness then.
Guaranteed, you will be speechless my friends, but unfortunately not blameless.
Because you do not believe in the Son of God, your sin will remain.
How pitiful.

I don't believe anything. It is you who said that I hold beliefs. Atheism is the absence of beliefs.
You are lashing out against somebody who has done you no harm, and I do not understand why anybody would do this to their fellow humans.
Why did you write to me and misrepresent my views only to denounce your own misrepresentations of my views? Why did you not first find out what my views are and then comment on those?
Is this that thing called "hatred" that I keep hearing about?
And why is it that the only people who treat me this way are those who appear to be hung up on the judgement of Christ or the judgement of Allah? Why are these the only two groups who lie about me for the purpose of denouncing me (rather, denouncing their own fantasy about me)?
Why do regular Christians and Muslims and Jews (who don't believe in an afterlife judgement at all) and other religionists refrain from behaving this way?
It's always and exclusively these two groups: Christians who believe in an aflterlife judgement and Muslims who believe in an afterlife judgement. (Well, Twelve Steppers, too, but their "Hell" is the gutter, meted out by their "loving God" for committing the sin of drinking alcohol -- and only that small percentage Steppers who believe this way have treated me thus!)

I must admit, I'm scratching my head over your e-mail.
This was obviously a form response you sent to me which you must send to every believer who has the temerity to e-mail you with questions about your belief in nothingness, in fact I would go so far as to call it your misplaced "faith" in nothingness.
Remember, no matter what you believe or disbelieve (or whatever you call it), the Universe which God created exists, and the God who created it also exists.
Your disbelief does not impact on the reality of God at all, in any way, shape or form, and you will see Him at the end of time, make no mistake about that -- you cannot undo that.
You are driving toward a cliff that you refuse to recognize and no matter how believers like myself testify to you, you will continue to drive toward that cliff until you fall off if you continue to reject God's love.
I did not misrepresent your views, not did I mention "hatred". I don't hate you or any atheist. I pray for you, that you may come to know what faith in God truly means and how it can change the human spirit, and open the eyes of those who are spiritually blind.
I pray for you, Cliff. Christ died that you may live with God for all eternity. Don't throw away the only offer that can give you life.

Again you lie about my position, calling it a belief in nothingness.
You also lie about it being a form response. I don't have any form responses. Just check our Letters section and you will see no paragraphs repeated in the entire thing -- all 1,200 or so files of it. I hand-type each response to each letter because I love my fellow humans and thus give each of them the dignity I think she or he deserves by preparing a unique response for each person as his or her letter came in.
You are a liar -- twice removed!
Not only that, you lie for the purpose of trying to convince my readers and myself that the Christian religion is a position of truthfulness.
For shame!
Why do so many Christians lie about my position and then attack their false representation of my position rather than finding out what my position actually is (even after I have told them)?
Are you perhaps afraid to examine your own position, fearful that you may find out that you've been chasing shadows? -- fearful that you may discover that you've spent your life telling people that things you cannot demonstrate to be true are, nevertheless, true? -- fearful that you may some day wake up and realize that you've been needlessly frightening the living daylights out of small children and weak-minded adults with your horrible tales of the Christian Hell -- fearful -- when you cannot demonstrate that there even existed a man named Jesus who was crucified under Pontius Pilate for thinking he was Messiah?
Are you afraid that the Christian religion may just be based upon a fairy tale -- a cruel hoax?
Is that why you lie about my position and then refute your own lies rather than to face the truth of what I have to say?

You certainly seem to enjoy throwing around the word "lie" don't you?
Yet you lie about the existence of God everytime you open your mouth.
I speak the truth and I do not lie.
It seerms you believe in Hitler's notion of telling the "big lie", my friend. Keep telling it. It worked admirably well for him didn't it? I'm sure it will work for you as well.
He hated God and Jesus Christ as much as you obviously do.
You believe in nothingness and into nothingness you will go.
That is not a lie. It is your stated belief. You believe in nothingness.
What a terrible waste of the life that God has created in you.
You have spit out your bile at the body of Christ, and so your sin remains.
By the way, do I believe that Jesus existed? You have not done your homework. There is more evidence that Jesus existed than there is for the existence of anyone in antiquity and yet you spit out your bile and disbelief at Jesus Christ.
How sad you are, and how ignorant and hopeless. There is nothing positive about your message whatsoever. Only self-delusion and self-justification.
I am not a liar. I am a believer in the truth of the Almighty God and His son Jesus Christ who saved all those who will believe.
God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believe in Him should not perish but have eternal life.
In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word truly was God.
And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us -- light was come into the world, but men chose darkness, and by that choice they will be condemned.

You lie again. I don't enjoy being lied to, but I am morally obligated to point out when somebody logs on to our Forum and lies to our readers. This is not fun. I'd much rather hold dialogues with people who speak truthfulness, as I am interested in learning and finding truth. I have no use for lies, and that is the main reason why I shun the Christian religion: it can only be defended through falsehood. I could never defend the Christian religion because I am by nature a man of truthfulness.
Yet you lie about the existence of God everytime you open your mouth.
Can you demonstrate this as fact?
No, you cannot demonstrate this claim at all.
Thus, you lie again because you make a statement that you cannot prove.
Not only that, you slander because you call me a liar and cannot prove that I lied. I called you a liar only after having demonstrated that you lied. You make claims about me and cannot prove your claim. Since your claim is that I lie "everytime [I] open [my] mouth," and since you cannot prove this, you are a slanderer.
A slanderer is the worst kind of liar that there is, because the liar lies at the expense of somebody else's good reputation.
I speak the truth and I do not lie.
Interesting that you stack lie upon lie by telling this lie, because I just demonstrated that you lied about me! And I demonstrated earlier that you lied about me before.
And you do this just to try to show that the Christian religion is a position of truthfulness!
If Jesus existed, I wonder what he would think of you, lying in his name?
It seerms you believe in Hitler's notion of telling the "big lie", my friend. Keep telling it. It worked admirably well for him didn't it? I'm sure it will work for you as well.
So, am I to be likened unto Hitler, or am I your friend? Which is it?
Or are you a friend of Hitler as well?
He hated God and Jesus Christ as much as you obviously do.
Another lie. Three lies, in fact.
1. I do not hate God. I cannot hate something that I cannot show exists.
2. I do not hate Jesus Christ. I cannot hate something that nobody can prove existed, and even if he did exist (unlikely), I cannot hate somebody who is dead.
3. Hitler was a very devout Christian throughout his life. His attitude toward the Jews came directly from Martin Luther, which came directly from Saint Paul, as well as passages of the alleged words of Christ, such as John 8 and 10, and Matthew 10 and 23.
Therefore, I am convinced that I am acting as the agent of our Creator. By fighting off the Jews, I am doing the Lord's work.
Anyone who dares to lay hands on the highest image of the Lord commits sacrilege against the benevolent creator of this miracle and contributes to the expulsion from paradise.
The folkish-minded man, in particular, has the sacred duty, each in his own denomination, of making people stop just talking superficially of God's will, and actually fulfill God's will, and not let God's word be desecrated. For God's will gave men their form, their essence and their abilities. Anyone who destroys His work is declaring war on the Lord's creation, the divine will.
You believe in nothingness and into nothingness you will go.
There you go again, speaking falsehood about what I do and do not believe -- even after I told you what the case is. Is not mine the final word on what I believe?
I'll tell you what: Please stop writing to our domains. I will send you an official request to that effect, with a copy sent to the abuse team of Prodigy, which now owns flash.net.
Have a nice life. As far as we can tell, it's the only one we get. I choose to spend mine speaking the truth to the best of my ability, because I do not want to go on record as having lied to anybody. I certainly don't think any ideology is worth lying for: if I cannot defend an ideology by being entirely truthful, I will not defend it -- I will not even adhere to it.

Self Reporting
Friday, July 12, 2013
I was reading an article yesterday about a study on obesity in the US. Apparently, the study showed that Americans are getting more exercise, but we�re still gaining weight. I noticed the flaw in the study within the first paragraph of the story. The study was based on Self-Reported Data.
I see people all the time, who over-estimate how much physical activity they get.
I, for example, am up and down all day. I am running down stairs, running to and from the copier, running around finding people. I�m pretty active compared to my co-workers. Yet when I wore a pedometer, I discovered that I�m lucky to break 2,000 steps a day. It takes me a day of running around normally, PLUS a full hour�s walk during lunch to get the 10,000 steps a day that is recommended. So if I were to have guessed, beforehand, I probably would have WAY over estimated how much walking I do.
Then, let�s face it, some people lie. I had a friend who was morbidly obese. She would complain that her body simply didn�t lose weight. She told me that she worked out an hour a day, took walks, and ate only 1,500 calories a day. But once I really got to know her, and saw how she really lived, I realized she was lying. She never worked out. Her definition of �walking� was the distance from the couch to the fridge, and she consumed junk food like a mad woman. She simply wasn�t ready to change, but she felt like she had to give me the line, �I�m trying to lose weight� to keep from feeling embarrassed about her weight and lifestyle.
So it makes me really question how accurate the study could be if it�s based on data from people self-reporting.

Have you heard the old saying, "there is lies, damn lies and statistics"? The problem with statistics and studies like this is that they tell us something... not really sure what. You have to take all you read with a grain of salt. To me, this study says, people are getting fatter and more ashamed of themselves. Maybe the same shame that makes them lie about how much working out they do is driving them to not work out - simply because they are ashamed of their size. So our culture, in effect, has become schizophrenic - on one hand, the ready availability and copious advertizement of food, on the other, guilt and shame for those who are overweight, driving them to stay inside as much as possible and just consume more. So, think about it this way - if you are out there doing something about your health, you are already ahead of the rest of the population.
