Their class was the first from Caprock to spend all three years at the new school. In this, the 50th anniversary of the high school, the Class of 1966 were the first Longhorn sophomores.
"Since then, there have been 50 more," John Faulkner said, "but we were the first. For the most part, we were all together since the seventh grade."
Before Caprock, Dee Hyden and Vance Berry were at Bowie Junior High. Before Bowie, they were at Sanborn Elementary. Both were only children.
At Caprock, Dee was the gregarious one. He was a cheerleader as a junior, and also on the debate team. It's cliche to say, but it was true with Dee — he always had a smile on his face.
"He was never down, always happy," said Reta (Mathis) Howard. "One of those who isn't going to say anything bad about anybody. I still, though, remember that smile."
Vance was competitive and athletic. A redhead, he was quick to anger, quick to forget. He played baseball, and was a 5-foot-9, 140-pound center on the football team, starting most of the '65 season.
He lived to compete against friends in races, curling weights,
high jumping, poker, even contests to roll up the most Sunday newspapers.
The specter of the Vietnam War was consuming in the 1960s. The war was escalating as the Class of '66 graduated. Dee left Amarillo College in 1967 for the Army, wanting to be a helicopter pilot. Vance joined the Army about the same time.
Before Vance was deployed to Vietnam, he made an appointment with his pastor in Amarillo. He did not expect to come back from Vietnam alive, and wanted to make sure he was "right with the Lord."
Those misgivings proved true. Sgt. Berry was in Vietnam only two weeks when he was killed by sniper fire. It shook that class and a young school. Just more than a year later, on May 17, 1969, a monument more than 5 feet high was dedicated on the Caprock grounds.
Six months later, Warrant Officer Dee Hyden, co-pilot on a 206, was among a crew of five lost on a volunteer flare mission in terrible rainy weather, the last of the monsoon season in Vietnam. Their flight was highlighted in a portion of a documentary, "In the Shadow of the Blade."
Six weeks before he was to leave Vietnam, one week before Christmas, Dee was among five killed in the crash. His name was soon too engraved with his fellow classmate. Both Bronze Star recipients. Both buried at Llano Cemetery. Dee was 21, and Vance was 20.
The only Caprock casualties from the Vietnam War, their monument was engraved at the bottom: "In Memory Of Those Longhorns Who So Valiantly Laid Down Their Lives For Our Country In the Cause Of Freedom."
Through the years, that monument has been twice vandalized. Caprock paid for repairs, but the names were worn and almost illegible. Last summer, an 18-inch plaque for Sgt. Berry was mounted on the monument, but it covered most of his classmate's faintly recognized name.
A friend called Howard in March to tell her of how it looked. That wouldn't do. She especially knew Dee and his 100-watt smile. He deserved better.
She took to Facebook and email to raise money. In 10 days, about 30 class members — 10 percent of the class of '66 — responded with donations.
"I was blown away," she said.
She collected nearly $2,500, and so the idea then turned to something else, something more.
So on Monday, as part of Memorial Day ceremonies at the Texas Panhandle War Memorial, classmates Howard, Faulkner and Dennis Price will take a few minutes to speak and unveil a 30-by-18 monument, prominently placed near the memorial entrance. "They Touched The Lives of Caprock High School..."
It might seem a small thing unless you walked the halls with those two in the early years of Caprock. So what then, 46 years later, does this tribute mean?
"Give me a second," Faulkner said.
Faulkner remembers attending Hyden's funeral at Grand Avenue Baptist Church shortly before he was deployed to Vietnam, a sobering and surreal moment. Forty-five years later, it still resonates.
"That was our little high school group of people," Faulkner said, "and that war affected high schools all over America. We were just one of thousands. The thing that hits me is you just never know what the future holds, what God has in store. Those two guys epitomized most young people.
"I talked to Vance's mother (Edna) this week, still living in the same house. She said, 'John, it's been 46 years. Time has gone by fast, but it still hurts.' I think for our class we still remember those guys, and we still hurt."

Doctors report rise in kids eating detergent packs
Associated Press
DALLAS (AP) – Miniature laundry detergent packets arrived on store shelves in recent months as an alternative to bulky bottles and messy spills. But doctors across the country say children are confusing the tiny, brightly colored packets with candy and swallowing them.
Nearly 250 cases have been reported this year to poison control centers. Though they remain a tiny fraction of the thousands of poisoning calls received every year about household medicines and other cleaning supplies, doctors are concerned. The symptoms they see in connection with ingesting the packets _ such as nausea and breathing problems _ are more severe than typical detergent poisoning.
"We're not quite sure why it's happening," said Dr. Kurt Kleinschmidt, a Dallas toxicologist and professor at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. "But we've clearly had some kids who have become much more ill. We look at these pods as being clearly more dangerous than the standard detergent."
Tide, Purex and other detergent manufacturers introduced different versions of the packets earlier this year. The lightweight plastic packets contain a single-use amount of detergent that dissolves in water. They're intended to be dropped into a laundry machine in place of liquid or powder detergent.
Several poison control centers started to get calls from parents about the packets in March and April, soon after they were introduced in earnest. Texas reported 71 instances of exposure this year, all but one in March or later. Missouri reported 25 cases related to the packets, and Illinois reported 26.
"If you look at the Tide Pods, they're bright blue and bright red and they look very similar to some of the ribbon candy," said Julie Weber, director of the Missouri Poison Control Center in St. Louis.
Paul Fox, a spokesman for Procter & Gamble, the parent company of Tide, says all cleaning products need to be handled carefully. He said Tide was working with poison control centers and advocacy groups to make sure parents know more about the risks.
"The packs themselves are safe, regardless of who manufactures them, provided that they are used for their intended purpose," Fox said. "The risk becomes when they're left like any other household product within reach of small, inquisitive hands."
Doctors said the packets appear to be more dangerous than just swallowing liquid or powder detergent.
Dr. Michael Buehler of the Carolinas Poison Center said there were several possible reasons why, including that the packets carry a full cup's worth of detergent in bite-size form or the detergent in the packet might activate more quickly or differently.
"The children get sicker, more severe, and they do this quicker than what we've seen with standard liquid laundry exposure," Buehler said.
In suburban Philadelphia, a 17-month-old boy was home with his mother when she "turned her back for the proverbial second," said Dr. Fred Henretig of the Poison Control Center at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. The boy climbed up on a dresser and popped a detergent package in his mouth, Henretig said.
The boy vomited, became drowsy and started coughing. He was eventually put on a ventilator for a day and hospitalized for a week, Henretig said.
Poison control centers in several states have issued or are preparing warnings for local emergency rooms and parents. The Indiana Poison Control Center was expected to advise parents in coming days about the packets' risk.
One child near Fort Wayne, Ind., tried to eat a packet and nearly had to be placed on a ventilator, said Dr. Brent Furbee, medical director of the Indiana Poison Control Center. Furbee did not know the child's age.
"Detergents can cause some irritation, but haven't been particularly threatening to kids," Furbee said. "But this looks like it's going to be a bigger deal."
Detergent packets are common in Europe, but are a recent addition to the American market, Fox said. He said Tide Pods had done well against other detergent packets, but it was too soon to say if shoppers appeared to be replacing liquid and powder detergent with the packs.
Kiem Ho, vice president for marketing at Purex, said its UltraPacks packaging comes with warning labels to keep out of reach of children.
"This is a new form of laundry product and we will continue to join other manufacturers to safeguard and educate consumers on the correct storage and use of these products in the home" Ho said in a statement.
Associated Press reporters Rick Callahan in Indianapolis, Doug Esser in Seattle, Maria Sudekum in Kansas City, Mo., Carla K. Johnson in Chicago and Matt Moore in Philadelphia contributed to this report.

A 45-year-old Atlanta man was barred from a housing complex west of downtown on Tuesday and was arrested when he returned drunk and banged on apartment doors, Athens-Clarke police said.
Before arresting Gary H. McLoyd, officers responded to three different complaints from residents of Parkview Homes, according to police.
He was charged with public intoxication, criminal trespass, obstruction, and possession of an open container, police said.
McLoyd, who was carrying a can of Steel Reserve beer when he was arrested, "continued making references to his age, and at one point started acting like a small child, saying, 'Mommy, mommy,'" and officer wrote in the arrest report.

This volume represents the proceedings of the Second International Symposium on Pyelonephritis held on June 5th and 6th, 1964, under the auspices of the Channing Laboratory of the Boston City Hospital. The previous meeting was held at the Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit and it was the general feeling of those interested in the field that progress had been sufficient to indicate a second meeting. This time those interested in the problems of pyelonephritis were assembled from all over the United States and in fact all over the world. The list of contributors is most impressive and represented a very active and enlightened group on the problems of pyelonephritis. The editor is to be congratulated not only on the excellent volume which is now available to all interested in this field of renal disease but also on organizing both this and the previous International Symposium.

Trade Policy for a Networked World
Trade policy has been a notable and bipartisan success of postwar American foreign policy. Across 10 administrations and 26 Congresses, Washington has guided the world's economies toward freer trade and higher levels of development -- from the foundation of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) in 1947; through the U.S. Trade Expansion Act of 1962 and the Kennedy, Tokyo, and Uruguay Rounds of GATT negotiations; to the U.S.-Canada Free Trade Agreement, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), recent trade agreements with China, Vietnam, and Jordan, and legislation liberalizing trade with Africa and the Caribbean. Current challenges along these lines include completing negotiations on free trade agreements with Singapore and Chile, inaugurating a new round of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and negotiating Russia's entry into it, and moving forward on a Free Trade Area of the Americas.
Trade agreements have grown in complexity and scope over time, but the landmark achievements of earlier years all dealt with essentially similar problems. They catalogued and reduced tariffs, quotas, and other trade barriers. As a new century opens, however, trade policy is taking on a fundamentally new set of challenges -- ensuring an open, competitive, well-regulated information economy. One of the principal achievements of the Clinton administration was to begin rethinking trade policy to fit this new economy. And one of the great opportunities for the new Bush administration is to build on the foundational agreements of the Clinton years and fully adapt trade policy to the

Released: Mar 01st, 2007
Running Time: 177
Director: Sammy Mancini
Company: Mancini Productions
Cast: Mia Isabella, Vicki Richter, Melanie (I), Valeria (I), Cassie (I), Anna Alexandre, Damita, Angelina (I)
Critical Rating: AAA
There are some lovely she-males on display here, and good locations, but a definite lack of spice in this tranny solo title. Statuesque blonde Vicki Richter solos outdoors in her black leather minidress and stiletto heels. Gorgeous Mia Isabella milks her 10" dick onto her toes for the benefit of the boys in the Chicago office building outside her bathroom window. And stylish diva Damita performs the only scene with obvious anal action, sucking and riding a squirting dildo before oiling herself up in the shower.
The camerawork and editing is above average, though the lighting is washed out in several scenes. The perfomers are chatty, personable types, but they appear to be in the depths of deep concentration rather than pleasure as they stroke their cocks. It's solid tranny fare for the most part, but frankly these ladies are people with whom to go shopping and have coffee – not watch jack off.

Californians proved last week that voters will approve of tax increases if they have assurances that elected leaders will put the additional revenues to good purposes. In an outcome that surprised many, on Tuesday Golden State voters approved the Proposition 30 ballot measure requiring a tax increase that will raise about $6 billion a year.
Gov. Jerry Brown proposed the initiative as a way of finding funding for California's public schools and university system. For years California has been cutting spending to its public schools, leading to large classroom sizes, teacher layoffs, a lack of materials, and continued use of outdated schools. It has hindered efforts at education reform. Meanwhile the state's university system, once well-regarded for being affordable to in-state students, has seen a steady rise in tuition costs and fewer admissions. Community colleges will now increase the staffing necessary to add 20,000 new students, thanks to the added revenues.
The approval of the ballot initiative increases the California state sales tax by one-quarter of 1 percent and calls for graduated state income tax increases on those making $250,000 or more.
While it may surprise some that voters anywhere would vote to impose tax increases on themselves, it seems all the more remarkable in California. Remember, this is the land of Proposition 13. Passed in 1978 it placed an arbitrary limit on increases in property taxes and required a two-thirds vote of both houses of the California legislature to pass any tax increases.
The measure produced many unintended consequences. It has retarded home sales, placed California in a state of seemingly permanent fiscal crisis and led to a hodge-podge of special taxes and fees at the local level to try to get around its revenue-restricting measures.
In another interesting development, voters there also gave Democrats two-thirds control of both houses of the California legislature, providing that party the ability to raise taxes without Republican votes. But Gov. Brown said he would block any efforts to use the supermajority for a spending spree or to boost taxes to support it, mindful that such a move could be seen as an affront to voters who just approved the Proposition 30 tax measure.
The larger context, however, is that the California vote challenges the notion that voters never, ever want to see taxes increased. In reality, a majority of voters recognize that taxes sometimes have to go up. It is a lesson that should guide the debate soon to come in Washington about how to slow the growth of the federal deficit and begin to get the U.S. budget in balance. Both pre-election and exit polls showed a majority of voters support President Obama's call to allow the income tax rate on wealthier individuals to return to a pre-Bush level.
While not as dramatic as the California vote, we noted last week that Connecticut Republicans, in an effort to win seats in the state House and Senate, had campaigned against the tax increases approved under Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's administration to address this state's fiscal crisis. The strategy produced no net gain for Republicans in a Connecticut General Assembly still controlled by the Democratic Party.
At any level of government a balanced approached is best when it comes to tax and spending policies. How best to achieve that balance, however, is where political ideologies clash. California voters have mandated that more revenues are necessary to provide better balance there. Now it is time for Republicans in Washington to recognize, in the wake of the president's victory, that when it comes to tax policy they have to give a little too.

What are you doing now professionally? Can you tell us about your job and long-term career plans?
I currently work in Washington, D.C. as a Program Officer for the Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program. My organization, the Institute of International Education, is a nonprofit that administers the Fulbright Scholar Program on behalf of the Department of State.
Fulbright is an academic exchange and cultural diplomacy program, and it provides teaching and research grants to American faculty and professionals. I manage a portfolio of ten countries in the Europe/Eurasia region, and my responsibilities include recruiting, advising applicants, facilitating the peer review process, and collaborating with overseas colleagues to manage Scholar grants.
What are your thoughts on the value of a liberal arts background, particularly history? How has your history major helped you personally and professionally?
History courses challenge students to ask how the current world order came to be, and professors cultivate the writing, research, and critical thinking skills needed to develop thoughtful hypotheses. I have found these skills to be as valuable in the office as they were in the classroom.
My current portfolio is focused on Europe/Eurasia, but in a previous position I also worked on countries in the Middle East/North Africa region. I'm extremely grateful to my History professors for shaping my understanding of political, economic, and social forces in those regions.

Slam News and Discussionhttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/slam/atom.aspxTelligent Evolution Platform Developer Build (Build: 5.6.50428.7875)2006-03-31T18:45:00ZSlam Fully Operationalhttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/slam/archive/2006/12/18/slam-fully-operational.aspx2006-12-18T21:58:00Z2006-12-18T21:58:00Z
Power is still out for several hundred thousand here in the Seattle area, but our servers are back up and we're fully back in business.

If you haven't already installed it, we encourage you to take a look at the latest build: much small, with performance and battery drain improvements.

SlamOwnerhttp://blogs.msdn.com/SlamOwner/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxSlam Servers Down Due to Power Outage in Redmondhttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/slam/archive/2006/12/15/slam-servers-down-due-to-power-outage-in-redmond.aspx2006-12-15T22:06:00Z2006-12-15T22:06:00Z
During a crazy storm last night in the Seattle area, 1 million people, including most of Redmond lost power, bringing down all Slam servers. We don't know exactly when the servers went down, but no Slam messages have gone though since we first started checking early this morning. As soon as power is restored, we'll get the servers operational. In the meantime, here are just a few shots of the damage from the storm:

SlamOwnerhttp://blogs.msdn.com/SlamOwner/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxNew Slim and Trim Slamhttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/slam/archive/2006/11/21/new-slim-and-trim-slam.aspx2006-11-22T01:47:00Z2006-11-22T01:47:00Z
We've been working hard over the past month on a new build of Slam to help with performance and battery drainage issues. Today we release a version with the following improvements:

Radically smaller size. The smaller application uses less device memory, helps with 'phone bog', and overall is more efficient. Note the 385k installer (down from 732k)!

Re-worked home screen plugin. New plugin interferes less with your device's home screen.

User settings for new content checking frequency. Checking for new Slam content is by far the biggest hit to your phone's battery. You can now change this from the default of every 10 minutes. So, if you set this to 20 minutes you will be saving almost half of Slam's battery usage. You can even set Slam to 'Manual' checking and then just use the Send/Receive command when you want a content update. To access the frequency settings, select Menu -> Options -> Check for New Content from the Slam home screen.

Important: Except in the case of 'Manual' checking, Slam maintains the same content checking behavior of frequent checking (every 30 seconds) after any activity (e.g., you send or receive a message) until the activity dies down at which point it goes back to your specified check interval. In our opinion, this approach strikes the best balance between preserving battery and keeping you up to date on Slam content.

Do note that these changes do not affect the performance of the application itself. Here we are focused on minimizing impact on your phone. However, we threw in a few other changes, including support for the address book when inviting people to a Slam.

Download the new build here (www.msslam.com/slam.cab).

If you are already running Slam, you will need to remove your current version before installing the new build. To remove Slam: exit the application via Menu -> Exit from the main Slam screen, turn off your Slam home/today screen via your device settings, then remove Slam via your device's Remove Programs function. Sometimes programs are hard to remove. If necessary, restart your device after exiting Slam and removing the home/today screen, then just delete the Slam folder using File Explorer. (Slam removal instructions also available on the about Slam web page.)

Thanks for all the great feedback from everyone. We've noted all the issues and are working hard on fixes and improvements. Lot's of folks have the Motorola Q, so were trying to get our hands on one for debugging the screen layout issues (thanks Tom for the screenshots!).

I wanted to address the performance and battery drainage issues. Slam is a fairly aggressive application for these devices from the standpoint of being graphics-rich and requiring significant data access, and these do have a cost. However, it can always be improved and we are working on some tweaks that should mitigate issues with bogging down your phone and battery drainage.

We hope to have the new build available sometime next week, and we'll be sure to let you know as soon as it's ready.

And here's a little Friday treat. When we originally developed Slam, we made a goofy little video to show people internally how it is used. Here, for the first time, we make it available to the public.

SlamOwnerhttp://blogs.msdn.com/SlamOwner/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxSlam Build Update - Fix to text entry boxes for Smartphoneshttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/slam/archive/2006/10/13/slam-build-update-fix-to-text-entry-boxes-for-smartphones.aspx2006-10-13T19:26:00Z2006-10-13T19:26:00Z
We released a new build yesterday. The main improvement was to text entry boxes on certain Smartphones. If you have one of these, you no doubt will have noticed that the text entry box (e.g., when writing a message) showed the previous screen rather than a white background. T9 text entry was almost unreadable. We believe this to be a bug in the compact framework 1.0 with painting multiline text boxes. This build includes a workaround that mostly fixes the problem, although note that it introduces the side effect of a few extra line returns at the end of your message (we're working on this).

If the funky text entry boxes are bugging you and you'd like a fix, install the latest version of Slam without losing any of your data. You can install Slam right over the top of your current install, although this tends to be finicky. If it doesn't work, try exiting Slam and also removing the Slam home screen/today screen plugin before installing. If that doesn't work, you can always remove Slam (see About Slam page for instructions) and then install the new build.

Thanks and we hope you're diggin' Slam!

You clearly have no idea how difficult it would be to pop an eye within 5 seconds with a choke around your neck. You sound like a purist boxing fan who's never even had a good RNC put on him but still thinks that they can get away from any BJJ move by doing some cheap ****.
But please lets not get serious about a White Tiger thread.
I've never had a good RNC put on me, I'm not ignorant to the effectiveness of grappling but like boxing it has limitations in a street fight. Like I said I wasn't discussing a fight with a skilled BJJ practioner so your point is MOOT. Saying an eye poke would beat a decent BJJ guy is like saying using a kick would beat a boxer its incredibly ignorant, not my point.
Most importantly though you're underestimating my ******* grab.

'I'm Not Upset' Says Guy Who Didn't Kick In For $319M Lottery Ticket
ABC News caught up with Mike (he didn't want to give his last name), who opted not to join his co-workers in Albany, N.Y., when they collected money to buy a Mega Millions lottery ticket.
As we've reported, the group ended up winning the $319 million jackpot. Mike and four others who often kicked in — but didn't this time — were out of luck.
But "I'm not upset," he tells ABC.
There's still time, by the way, to get in our our question about whether the winners should share any of the prize with the others.

AbstractConventional plasma waste reforming technology uses high temperature reactive plasma to breakdown wastes into combustible gas and solid waste. Extremely high plasma temperatures often lead to high energy consumption resulting low efficiency and formation of unwanted byproducts, such as nitrogen oxides and dioxins. In many cases using plasma arc/torch could significantly increase waste disposal costs without offering essential environmental advantages. Unlike previous plasma systems that border either on the thermal or non-thermal stages, this new system hybridizes both plasma types to deliver large power at high pressure with high selectivity. The proposed solution is based on using a compact intermediate power plasma source operating on electrical discharge possessing partially non-thermal characteristics. A large portion of the discharge energy is utilized to generate high energy electrons, excited species, and chemically active radicals to effectively stimulate partial oxidation and reformation processes converting the solid waste to a gaseous reformate for power generation. As a result, this process can yield high gas volume at unsurpassed efficiencies as the plasma provides only part of the energy required for reformation of the solid fuel.

The prediction of protease cleavage sites in proteins is critical to effective drug design. One of the important issues in constructing an accurate and efficient predictor is how to present nonnumerical amino acids to a model effectively. As this issue has not yet been paid full attention and is closely related to model efficiency and accuracy, we present a novel neural learning algorithm aimed at improving the prediction accuracy and reducing the time involved in training. The algorithm is developed based on the conventional radial basis function neural networks (RBFNNs) and is referred to as a bio-basis function neural network (BBFNN). The basic principle is to replace the radial basis function used in RBFNNs by a novel bio-basis function. Each bio-basis is a feature dimension in a numerical feature space, to which a nonnumerical sequence space is mapped for analysis. The bio-basis function is designed using an amino acid mutation matrix verified in biology. Thus, the biological content in protein sequences can be maximally utilized for accurate modeling. Mutual information (MI) is used to select the most informative bio-bases and an ensemble method is used to enhance a decision-making process, hence, improving the prediction accuracy further. The algorithm has been successfully verified in two case studies, namely the prediction of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) protease cleavage sites and trypsin cleavage sites in proteins.

Oyster industry unhappy with new federal rules
Published: Wednesday, February 2, 2011 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 2, 2011 at 6:00 a.m.
NEW ORLEANS -- Leaders of the Louisiana oyster industry told state health officials, they cannot live with new federal refrigeration requirements.
"It's an overburden," Peter Vujnovich said. Vujnovich is a third generation oyster farmer from Port Sulphur. "It's overkill in a lot of ways."
Federal regulations require that oysters be refrigerated within one hour of harvest in order to be sold raw.
In Lousiana, we're a little bit different because so many other states fish in small boats. They're in close proximity to the docks, so it's easy for them to unload; they don't have the problems we have," said Rodney Fox, the owner of the R&A Oyster Company. "With the boats we have and the areas we have to fish, one hour just isn't enough time."
Industry leaders voiced their concerns with the federal regulations Tuesday afternoon in Baton Rouge, in a meeting with Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals Public Health Officer Dr. Jimmy Guidry and State Epidemiologist Dr. Raoult Ratard.
Simply put, Louisiana oyster producers said, the feds are over-regulating to try to prevent Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio vulnificus, oyster-related illnesses that are not a problem in Louisiana.
"We're a 135-year-old business," Al Sunseri said of his P&J Oyster Company in the French Quarter. "Our company has never been epidemiologically linked to a Vibrio case, so us having to refrigerate oysters within one hour is absolutely ludicrous."
The current state law says the Louisiana DHH can exempt oyster harvesters and oyster dealers from those federal requirements if they haven't been linked to any Vibrio cases.
At the meeting, industry and health leaders also discussed the possibility of a new state law that would require refrigeration within six hours of harvest, for all oysters to be sold raw within the state of Louisiana.
Leaders of the oyster industry said after the meeting, a six-hour law would be just as safe and far more achievable.
More meetings are expected.

I don't like when tax dollars are wasted -- whether at the provincial level by relocating gas plants, or at City Hall by tearing up LRT contracts willy-nilly, or even by the federal government straight up losing $3.1 billion (whatever happened to that scandal, by the way?). And I get that times are tough. Saving pennies matters to a lot of people these days, and it should to our governments, too.
Without a chance to brush up on my poor speaking or understanding of French, I was whisked away from LA to Montréal, Canada after an invite came into my inbox to attend the 3rd annual world music conference/festival Mundial Montréal.
There are hints that Ford's type of behaviour, and in particular his adamant refusal to resign, are becoming an ugly trend. Far too many leaders these days are in it for themselves. So will we be inflicted with a Prime Minister Rob Ford?
I go to the Newsana debate in Toronto. Headline for the gathering: "Toronto's Watergate? The inside scoop on how the media exposed Rob Ford." Up there on the platform is a fine balance of newspapers leftish, centreish and rightish. Here are some highlights, condensed and edited.
There's something about Justin Trudeau with his sideways smiles, V-necks and ladies' night that reminds me of smarmy men from my past. That connection is hard to break, even though as a friend recently pointed out, he's probably the politician who best reflects my views. As with our personal relationships, we are often blind to our favourite politicians' faults. We defend them when others bring up their shortcomings -- "You don't know the real Barack!" -- rather than accept the facts. That's why it stung so much when I recently read a piece in the Globe and Mail titled "From messiah to lame duck: How Barack Obama fell to earth."
Rob Ford, should you be legally allowed to run for mayor again, though I may not have the courage of many of my neighbours to cast a vote in your direction, I most certainly will watch delightedly as you sweat your way through a seemingly endless string of awkward hallway press scrums and barely-veiled bigotry. You have taught me to accept what I do not understand.
Though this pageant of greed and gluttony lasts four whole days, when all is said and done, even amidst the drunken family brawling, sometimes moments for reflection can still be found. And you can bet that this round-headed political comic has much to be thankful for.
Dressing appropriately for your job can be painfully obvious, but not everyone gets it. Our appearance should be appropriate to where and who we're with, and it should also reflect the occasion. Why? Because people act in accordance to what they see and hear -- it could cost you performance evaluations, tips, or votes!
In the Village of Monticello, it just seems to get worse and worse, stupider and stupider. Every week, the absurd gets more absurd. Residents ther...
Ron Reagan and David Frum debate whether ending filibusters over presidential appointments was a "power grab" or a pro-democracy move to reduce dysfunction? And is the Obamacare fight about health care or "the promise of liberalism"? Then: the Kennedys, the Reagans & assassination.
It appears as if there is a brand of politicians that has forded the line from charisma to outright marketing. This kind is overdramatic, scandalous, ruthless, and will admit to have engaged in dishonest or illicit activities, perhaps for popularity.
Former alcoholics and drug addicts -- hats off to them -- are phoning in to CBC radio, remembering the same rage and powerlessness that Ford is denying. They slowly describe their impossible recoveries that came only after incalculable losses. And they help us understand what might be going on.
The pictures over the past two weeks are shocking. In one, the man's face appears concave instead of convex; the eyebrows are discernible, as is the bottom lip, but everything in between that should be there isn't.
These stories are rich with drug war ironies: political figures who have supported criminalizing drug users but who also like using drugs themselves; white men with stature suffering only minor punishment when compared to the poor and people of color.
Depending on with whom you speak, the truth is a) Rob Ford is the victim of a media attack the likes of which has never been witnessed in Toronto, including unjustified intrusion on his private property, or b) Rob Ford is the author of all of his problems. I would say both of the above contain truth and that all of the following are true, in my opinion.
As we all watch in awe as the human train wreck that is Toronto mayor Rob Ford continues to unfold, let us take a moment to reflect on the very ugly role that racism is playing in the Ford saga. I think that many of the people who claim to be disturbed by the fact that Rob Ford does drugs are, on some level, actually disturbed by the fact that Rob Ford (allegedly) smokes crack with Somalians in Little Mogadishu.

Flames Weekend Guide, November 29 2012
Ryan Pike
November 29 2012 03:14PM
The month of November ends this weekend, bringing with it a harsh slap in the face, as we all collectively realize that we've missed the entirety of the first two months of the NHL season.
While the rich players and owners fight like little kids, the Flames prospects – closer to little kids than the pro players, age-wise – continue to play hockey like they're supposed to. While we're not sure if any of the Calgary farm-hands believe in Santa Claus, both them and us are secretly hoping somebody – magical or otherwise – brings us NHL hockey for Christmas, Hanukkah or any other wonderful wintertime holiday.
World Junior Hopefuls: Laurent Brossoit
Ryan Pike
November 29 2012 09:44AM
Every year, the annual IIHF World Junior Championship tournament provides young hockey players with a great opportunity to show their wares against the best players from the age-group from throughout the world. It's a great development tool and players as varied as Jarome Iginla, Roman Horak and Leland Irving have had the chance to represent their nations at the World Juniors. Over the next few weeks, we're going to take a look at the chances of the various Flames prospects vying for World Junior roster spots.
Next up is Laurent Brossoit.
KHL: Kovalchuk outdone, Slovan shutout, and Red Army rolls

Hey look! Fans cheering for hockey. I remember that.
Here are today's KHL highlights. SOme pretty notable games are missing. For example, we didn't do packs for Yakupov's team Neftekhimik, Malkin's team Magnitogorsk, Lupul's team Avtomobilist, etc, etc. There was a technical issue, but we still managed to make highlight packs for five of the games. To make it up to you, we will be doing packs for the important games we missed tomorrow, in edition to tomorrow's Dynamo Moscow vs Dinamo Riga game.

Forbes Values Flames at $245M
Kent Wilson
November 28 2012 03:10PM
The latest Forbes valuations of the various NHL teams was released today. Coming in at #12 was the Calgary Flames at $245M - a 11% bump over their previous evaluation by Forbes a year ago.
Before we get into the details, it's important to note that all of the Forbes numbers are estimates based on what they can find through publically available means. The Flames are a private company and therefore not compelled to open up their books to external entities. Call the Forbes valuation, at best, "an educated" guess.

Councilman Mark Squilla stood before a diverse crowd of his South Philadelphia constituents on a blustery weeknight and asked how many had received new assessments on their homes and businesses.
Nearly every hand shot up.
"Who believes the assessments are not accurate?" Squilla asked, watching nearly every hand rise again.
When he asked who thought the city had valued their homes too low, he was answered not with hands, but with laughter.
It's a scene playing out across the city: government officials confronting residents bewildered by the Actual Value Initiative (AVI). Mayor Nutter's property-tax reform effort promises to correct a badly flawed and unfair system, but it will shift the tax burden in painful ways.
