For the last several weeks, we have been deep in the frenetic editorial season for Land&People magazine. These busy times as we put together the magazine are even more difficult since the advent of LandNotes. I can hear the blog whining like a neglected puppy: pet me, pet me, I need attention, too!
So it is a happy occurrence when a Land&People obligation and a blog posting line up. One of the stories we are working on for the next issue is about the importance of federal conservation. The article, by frequent land Land&People contributor Todd Wilkinson, discusses the reasons that the federal government should continue acquiring land—especially the private inholdings that dot our national parks, forests, and wildlife refuges.
Now comes an opinion piece by Timothy Egan on the New York Times blog that makes an eloquent case for the importance of these federal lands to all Americans. Egan, a former Times staffer and a friend of TPL, is a stylish and articulate writer. This piece—part sermon, part essay—takes as its central conceit that our national parks and other federal lands are "summer homes" for all of us.
During the bittersweet days of September light, when a low-angled sun is unwavering in its withdrawal, I always have trouble saying goodbye. How to shutter the season? How to close the summer home with a memory to last through the dark months?
Growing up, I looked with nose pressed against a mythic window of class at those who played in their waterfront compounds at Hayden Lake in Idaho. And when I came of age, I heard about the Hamptons and Cape Cod, Aspen and the San Juan Islands, where the zip code itself was supposed to guarantee happiness.
We had nothing to call a second home, and then I saw in a month's travel that we had everything. Not long after I was old enough to cast my first vote, I realized that with American citizenship came a birthright to my summer home.
We have heard these paeans to the national parks and public lands before, of course, including in the Ken Burns documentary special on the parks last year. But this is a particularly lovely piece that makes the case yet again for the unique gift of land that has been passed down to all of us.
The immensity often gets lost in the superlatives stirred up by the most outrageously scenic sites. But in the aggregate, this is what every citizen owns: 530 million acres, of which 193 million are run by the Forest Service, 253 million by the Bureau of Land Management and 84 million by the National Park Service. The public land endowment is more than three times the size of France.
Worth the read. Now for me, it's back to Land&People, available by free subscription here.

The babywear retailer said the past six months had included the first quarter of positive sales after two years of decline
Mothercare has continued to take baby steps towards recovery, saying sales improved in its core UK market in the six months to October 13.
That still meant that sales declined in shops open for more than a year, but by 3.4 per cent rather than by last year's 7 per cent drop.
The maternity and baby items retailer said it was encouraged by its swing into positive territory in the second quarter of its financial year, when it squeezed out a 0.3 per cent rise in like-for-like UK sales. That marked the first quarter of sales growth after ten quarters

NEW DELHI: The government plans to exempt state-run firms from a listing norm that requires companies to have independent directors in half of the board positions, as it looks to expedite its divestment programme, which seeks to raise Rs 40,000 crore this fiscal year. The government has raised Rs 2,090 crore so far from disinvestment this fiscal year.
It has proposed to relax this stipulation (50%) to a third of the board size of the company to reduce pressure for finding adequate number of independent directors on short notice. The changes will benefit companies such as Hindustan Copper and MOIL that plan to hit the market soon.

The United Way of Monroe County is hoping a final push from the public will erase the projected 33 percent shortfall in money raised in this year's campaign.
At a press conference in Stroudsburg on Wednesday, board president Curtis Rogers said the situation is desperate with a month to go in its annual fundraising drive.
"Our most vulnerable residents will suffer, that's the bottom line," he said. "In a season of goodwill, we are asking for folks for whatever donation they can make to us in this time of need."
So far in this year's campaign, which started right after Labor Day, the United Way has raised just more than $600,000. If donations don't skyrocket, Rogers said the agency will fall well short of the $1.2 million officials hoped to raise by the end of the year.
The Monroe office of the United Way routes money to 23 charitable agencies. One of those is Pocono Area Transitional Housing, which provides temporary housing and other services to families with children who are facing a crisis in their living situation.
Sharon Taylor, who runs PATH, reiterated the need for increased donations.
"There is really never enough (money) to go around so when there are cuts it really hurts," she said.
PATH is at capacity and has more than 60 local families, who are on the verge of homelessness, on the waiting list for help.
"Losing funding would put families in a very difficult situation. It's vital that we keep things running to give families in crisis hope," she said.
United Way hopes its newest fundraising tool, the text message, will help boost donations. You can donate $10 by texting "MONROE" to 50555. You can also donate online at www.unitedwaymonroe.org or just mail a check to United Way of Monroe County, PO Box 790, Tannersville, PA 18372.

"My priority right now is to clear my name," said Maher Arar during his first public appearance in 2003 upon his return after being tortured for over a year in Syria. The Arar Commission findings which cleared him and Prime Minister Stephen Harper's apology – which came after months of negotiations — last week go a long way in helping Arar fulfill his first wish. Even though some believe the apology did not go far enough as he apologized "for any role Canadian officials may have played." While the Commission squarely blamed Canadian and American officials.
Syrian-born Arar was detained by U.S. authorities on September 26, 2002, during a stopover in New York en route from Tunisia to Canada. The Canadian citizen was subsequently sent to Syria for torture under the controversial American practice of "extraordinary rendition" even though he had repeatedly requested that he be sent to Canada. He was eventually released and returned to Canada in October 2003 after Canada put pressure on Syria.
According to the inquiry called after public outcry in Canada, U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service agents acted on false and misleading information supplied by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). The comprehensive inquiry which lasted more than two years was headed by Ontario's Associate Chief Justice and cost the public purse more than $16 million. The Commission findings paved the way for the Prime Minister's formal apology to Arar on behalf of the Canadian government and settlement offer of $10.5 million plus legal fees to a settle a lawsuit launched by Arar.
Even Canada's top cop, RCMP Commissioner Giuliano Zaccardelli, resigned as a result of the Maher Arar controversy.
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
Meanwhile, American authorities are refusing Canada's request to purge Arar's name from U.S. watch lists. His inclusion on U.S. lists effectively excludes Arar from at least one third of the world's nations, according to his lawyers. U.S. Senator and chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee Patrick Leahy has threatened to hold extensive hearings into Arar's lambasted the US's removal of Arar to Syria as absurd and outrageous, noting that instead of sending Arar a "couple of hundred miles to Canada and turned over to the Canadian authorities... he was sent thousands of miles away to Syria." He has called for the U.S. to apologize to Arar as well.
Arar and his wife, Monia Mazig, are true champions and will push this matter as far as they can – hopefully getting a "terrorism-free" stamp from U.S. officials through the courts eventually. In addition to the Canadian lawsuit which was just settled, Arar has launched a separate lawsuit against American authorities. The U.S. suit revolves around the practice of his deportation to certain torture.
Yet, the Arar settlement in Canada does not close the book. It only opens a new chapter of a book that is about more than Maher Arar – it is about the erosion of civil and human rights in Canada as a result of the "War on Terror."
The Arar saga brought into focus the unintended victims of draconian laws and policies hastily enacted post 9/11 in Canada and south of the border. It also shed light on the potential of religious and racial profiling inherent in such laws and practices.
We can only hope that Arar's second wish which was to "make sure this does not happen to any other Canadian citizens in the future," will also come true. For this to happen, however, more people must realize that due process and fundamental rights must be respected at all times and more so during times of real or perceived crisis when society has a tendency to overreact.
At the broader level, we hope that this admission of responsibility signifies a renewed interest in addressing the myriad issues emanating from the "War on Terror." Canadians must demand that the government:
* Speedily implement all of the recommendations made by Justice Dennis O'Connor with respect to National Security, essentially centering around the issues of accountability, transparency, national security oversight, checks on information sharing, etc.
* Ensure that the public inquiry into allegations similar to Arar raised by Canadians, Abdullah Almalki, Ahmed Elmati and Muayed Nuredin moves forward in an open, transparent and public manner in order to have the confidence of the Canadian public.
*Seriously evaluate the impact of Canadian anti-terror laws and policies, but also the impact of U.S. laws and policies on Canadians, particularly those of Muslim and Middle Eastern heritage. The differential treatment of Canadian citizens based on religion and origin at the border must be vociferously opposed or a travel advisory be issued. The government must express strong opposition to the extra-territorial application of American laws effectively forcing Canadian companies on domestic soil to discriminate against citizens based on origin if they wish to contract with the United States. We took a stand against the Arab boycott of companies dealing with Israel – why is this any different? Surely, there are ways to ensure security while upholding the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
* Ground the No-Fly list , which will be shared with other countries and to which names will be added, no doubt, based on information from foreign sources before it takes off in the next few weeks. As confirmed by the Arar case, the information may be unreliable and, in fact, may even be obtained through illegal methods. The arrangements and protocols for information sharing with foreign governments and agencies must be reconsidered.
* Reevaluate the ground realities in terms of racial and religious profiling by police and security agencies. As the Justice Department's own study concluded two years ago, Canada has fallen behind even the U.S. and Britain in taking steps to combat this "high-profile and pressing issue." The Justice department's words, not mine.
* Stand up for Canadian citizen, Omar Khadr, sent to Guantanamo Bay from Afghanistan at the age of 16. Canada should join the other nations, including staunch U.S. allies such as Britain and Australia who have spoken out for their citizens and even had a number of them released. Khadr's guilt or innocence is not the issue – he must be treated, charged and tried in accordance with international standards or be released.
* Reexamine the security certificate process under which five Muslim men are detained without charges or even a chance to challenge the "secret" evidence against them — which even a number of Federal Court judges and even a high ranking intelligence officer has questioned and expressed concerns about. The Supreme Court is set to render its decision soon in three security certificate appeals – but whatever the decision, the government should scrap them as contrary to our notions of fairness and justice.
As Arar said during his press conference upon his return to Canada:
"What is at stake here is the future of our country, the interests of Canadian citizens, and most importantly Canada's international reputation for being a leader in human rights where citizens from different ethnic groups are treated no different than other Canadians."
With his apology and settlement, the Prime Minister helped raise Canada's stature one notch in the eyes of many local and foreign observers. It's time to continue onto the next chapter in the book.

Forget the title race....
It's obvious Chelsea will be Champions. It's much more interesting at the other end of the table. Who's going to stay up out of Palace, West Brom, Norwich and Southhampton? on current form I'll say Norwich 'cause they're on good form and playing confidently and have probably the best run in of them all, that and the fact I've supported them for 33yrs.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
I think you're right. I'm backing the canaries to stay up due to their form and their run in. my only hope is that Fulham get dragged into it. I can't stand them
- 1 Reply to Simon
It's not impossible that could happen. All those teams are going to need skill, luck , determination and, as Norwich have so ably shown recently, the ability not to give up until the whistle blows.
Well i would say Crystal Palace will stay, after beating Liverpool confidence will be high. So they can go out and beat Newcastle and the Southampton and Charlton. And also because i have supported them for 28 years....
- 1 Reply to peter c
Well I hope not, but if we were to balls it up I want Palace to do it. I can't stand West Brom and Southampton don't seem to have he spirit for a fight.
A Yahoo! User Apr 28, 2005 07:00 Flag
Completely agree. It was the same in 2003; when Man U won their last title, nobody gave a monkeys. It was the struggle to stay up between West Ham and others that captured everyone's interest.
The problem with moneyed teams like Chelsea and Man U is not necessarily just that clubs are getting too big in themselves and too interested in setting their finances above the considerations of their fans and their sport. It's also that the league just isn't competitive anymore because of that - so for clubs like Palace and Norwich, beating relegation is like racing for the title!
- 1 Reply to A Yahoo! User
That's why I'd be for a european super league, then the top 2 or 3 clubs could ponce about around the continent and leave the rest of us to compete the Prem, I think it would be better anyway.

Post subject: A little worried... no thermal shift
Hi there
I've been using Fertility Friend since the beginning of the month to chart my cycle.
I'm seeing positive signs that I ovulated around day 9 of a 25/26 day cycle. I'm currently on day 16 but I'm still not seeing my thermal shift.
I'm assuming that means I haven't ovulated despite the healthy CM and positive OPKs.
Can anyone shed some light, especially if they've had similar experiences? Is it still possible for me to have ovulated?

Hi Ladies
I also chart with fertility friends but only as a back up. Last month I never ovulated apparently and this month they gave me one date then changed thier mind. It is completely computer or software generated so don't rely on it too much. Listen to your body. It's easier if you are regular though and I know how frustrating it can be. Good luck to you. X

Thaci, born in 1968, joined the Albanian independence cause as a student, becoming one of the leaders of the protest movement in the early 1990s. As the Serbian crackdown intensified, he left for Switzerland, studying history and international relations in Zurich.
Returning to Kosovo as a senior figure in the guerrilla movement, the Kosovo Liberation Army, KLA, he received the nickname "The Snake" for his skill in evading the Serbian police. He took part in the abortive peace talks in Rambouillet in 1999 and after the war founded the Democratic Party of Kosovo, PDK, the main faction to emerge from the ranks of the KLA.
Thaci is seen as a shrewd tactician, capable of skilled manoeuvring to achieve his goals, while keeping a tight hold on the reins of power. After the victory of the PDK in the parliamentary elections of November 17, 2007, Thaci was elected Kosovo's Prime Minister.
On February 17, 2008, Thaci declared Kosovo an independent state in parliament.
During his three-year stint as Prime Minister, he has also led the country to membership of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.
But Thaci has come under criticism more recently from local and international actors for his government's failure to combat corruption and over allegations that he is trying to control the media.
Under pressure, he reshuffled his cabinet in early 2010, removing a number of junior and deputy ministers, while leaving the big beasts, including Minister of Transport Fatmir Limaj who is suspected of corruption, in place. His relationship with Limaj, another key figure in the PDK, is understood to be strained.
He has also been mocked in the media for his poor English and his gaffes. On a visit to the US in 2009, he was reported to have called the US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, "Ms Albright". He also claimed this year to have been mistaken for film star George Clooney.
His party, however, remains, according to all polls, the most popular in the country and he was reappointed as leader of the PDK, unopposed, in the run-up to the December 12 snap poll.

Kosovo Albanians detained during wartime by the Serbian authorities still fear that they could be re-arrested, as the case of a man held last week at the Croatia-Serbia border highlighted.
Speaking in Pristina, US Vice-President Joe Biden said that Kosovo officials should work toward normalising relations with Serbia in order to make progress towards joining the EU.
US Vice-President Joseph Biden offered condolences to the families of 1999 NATO bombing victims and urged Serbia and Kosovo to resolve open issues during a visit to Belgrade.
Analysts said the positive effects of a planned highway connecting Serbia with Kosovo and eventually Albania will not be fully felt unless Belgrade and Pristina do more to ensure free movement.
Judoka Champion Majlinda Kelmendi is hoping for a medal at Rio where she will represent Kosovo in the country's first-ever Olympic Games.
Kosovo Albanians have welcomed the European Commission call to extend visa-free travel to Kosovo - but Kosovo Serbs fear they may be left out of the benefits.
European football governing body UEFA voted to admit Kosovo as its 55th member, which means that teams from the country can now enter European club competitions.
Following the same pattern used for previous Serbian elections, the OSCE will handle the votes cast by Kosovo Serbs in the Serbian parliamentary elections on April 24.
Ban on entry of the head of Serbia's Kosovo Office - one of several recent bans - is designed to remind Belgrade that Kosovo does not want the Serbian election campaign conducted on its territory, experts say.
The veteran politician, rights activists and lawyer says Kosovo is on the right track, union with Albania is impossible - and Aleksandar Vucic is a more honest leader of Serbia than Boris Tadic was.
Brussels agreement has left Serbs in north Kosovo uncertain about what the future holds - and whether they should remain at all.

After Delay, FDA Approves Pfizer's AIDS Drug
After an unexpected stumble, Pfizer's AIDS drug Selzentry has been approved by the FDA, the company said this afternoon.
The drug, known generically as maraviroc, isn't likely to be a blockbuster — some analysts have put peak sales at around $500 million — but its approval marks the first time a new class of AIDS drugs has come to market in more than a decade, according to the company. That's an important advance against HIV, which has mutated to resist many available therapies.
Selzentry (the working title was Celsentri) is approved only for patients who's HIV is resistant to other treatments. It's also limited to those who harbor a strain of the virus that uses a particular pathway known as CCR5 to enter cells. (The drug works by blocking entry into the cell via CCR5, hence the name Selzentry.) About 40,000 people in this country meet those criteria, but figuring out who they are could be logistically tricky. Every patient is supposed to be screened by a single company, Monogram Biosciences, which will determine whether a patient's strain of the virus uses CCR5.
The FDA okayed the drug under an accelerated approval — but that approval was delayed in June, when the FDA asked for more information about the drug. GlaxoSmithKline had earlier given up on a drug in the same class as Selzentry because it caused liver problems.
Pfizer expects to bring the drug to market by September.
Update: In its announcement of the Selzentry approval, the FDA noted that the drug's label will carry a boxed warning on liver toxicity, as well as a warning about heart attacks.

MAKHMUR, Iraq — Bullet-riddled walls, burned-out buildings and a hastily dug grave in this town where U.S. troops were once stationed mark the northernmost advance of Islamic State militants along one of the main highways leading into Iraqi Kurdistan.
Kurdish forces recaptured Makhmur, an oil and farming center just 40 miles south of the Kurdish capital, Irbil, in the wake of U.S. airstrikes launched this month on Islamic State positions, pushing the militants back to the town of Qarach, a 15-minute drive down the road.
Few of the 18,000 people who lived in Makhmur have returned, fearing that Islamic State militants could come back, despite the presence of superior U.S. air power.
Ibrahim Karim, part of a small peshmerga force armed with only rifles, said he and his comrades weren't equipped to face 100 to 200 Islamic State fighters, who arrived in Makhmur in armored Humvees on Aug. 9.
Residents had fled two days earlier, and the peshmerga withdrew into mountains overlooking the town to await reinforcements, he said Saturday while guarding a checkpoint.
"Whenever we are in our mountains they can't beat us," Karim said.
Although Iraqi forces melted away in the face of Islamic State advances elsewhere in Iraq, the peshmerga were considered a formidable force able to stand their ground. But when Islamic State militants, who had overrun large swathes of western and central Iraq in recent months, began attacking Kurdish checkpoints in the north, the pehsmerga found themselves unable to resist against the Islamic State's more sophisticated weaponry, much of it seized from the Iraqi army.
The potential threat to Irbil, where U.S. diplomats and a small number of U.S. military are based led President Barack Obama to authorize airstrikes to protect U.S. interests as well as thousands of members of the Yazidi religious sect who were driven from their towns by the militants and stranded on a mountain top. But airstrikes have intensified in recent days, helping Kurdish and Iraqi forces regain territory, including the critical Mosul Dam.
In the center of Makhmur, a pile of blackened metal and corrugated iron is all that's left of a row of shops that, Karim claimed, had been full of Islamic State fighters when they were struck by a U.S. airstrike.
"Their bodies were only dust afterwards," he said.
It was unclear whether the damage to the shops was caused by an airstrike or some other kind of explosion. The U.S. Central Command did not respond to requests for confirmation of an airstrike in Makhmur.
Pointing to a mound of earth near a building pock-marked with bullet holes, Karim said:
"A Daash fighter is buried there," using the Arabic acronym for the Islamic State group. Also helping to push back the Islamic State militants here were fighters with the Kurdistan Workers' Party, PKK, which the U.S. has designated a terrorist group. PKK fighters have been battling Islamic State militants in Syria and the group is outlawed in Turkey. PKK fighters have established a base in Makhmur. The town was also home for years to thousands of Kurdish refugees from Turkey.
On Saturday, PKK troops drove around in a Chevy Silverado pick-up that, they said, was captured from the Islamic State.
Somebody had covered the vehicle in mud as camouflage but a little water poured onto the driver's side door revealed the black flag of the Islamic State.
Karim said the extremists' armored vehicles were difficult to defeat.
"The Humvees are bullet proof so it was very hard to fight them," he said. "We kept shooting them but they kept coming and then they blew themselves up."
In their advance through Iraq, Islamic State militants have seized weaponry and materiel from Iraqi forces, some of it left to them by departing U.S. forces. During the Iraq war, U.S. forces were stationed at Camp Crazy Horse, a forward operating base that they turned over to Iraq forces in December 2005.
It was not clear whether the humvees and other armored vehicles seen in Makhmur Saturday were American.
The Kurdish forces in Makhmur have since acquired a large armored truck and at least one of their own armored Humvees.
Ismael Soleh, 56, one of the PKK fighters who helped drive out the Islamic State, said one of his comrades was killed and 10 wounded in the battle for the town. Half a dozen injured PKK fighters lay in a field hospital in Makhmur on Saturday.
Two residents were also killed by the militants, Soleh said.
Soran Sabir said he found five bodies in the street when he came back a few days ago. His motorcycle shop had been looted by the militants.
"Daash likes to move around on motorcycles," he said. "They stole three from my shop."
Bakhtiyar Faisal, 35, a teacher stood near a group of shops in the town square contemplating the damage.
"There is a crisis here now," he said.
Those who have returned don't feel safe because the Islamic State is so close and they don't have enough to drink because the militants poisoned the town's water supply, he said.
Kurdish residents of Makhmur fled to Irbil, but several hundred Arabs there welcomed the Islamic State, Faisal said. When Kurdish forces returned, those Arabs fled south with the extremists, he said.
It may take a while before other Kurdish residents feel safe enough to come home, Faisal said. "People are scared to come back because Daash is so close."

Melissa & William – 23 April 2015
I don't know how I can really describe how honored I am to photograph this family again. From the engagement session up to the birth of their second son, I just love this family to pieces. I arrived one Saturday to the welcome committee of Boston Terriers and Mason, the first born, ready for me to play toys with him. Max, Mason's new little brother, is a week younger than my second daughter we just celebrated coming into our lives. I don't just know what it's like to juggle an active first born, dogs, work, a newborn and more… I'm living it too. I completely empathize that you are trying to take in every moment with the new one like you did the first without neglecting the first… it seems impossible but Lindsay and JP are so loving and have so much to give their boys. Mason is a loving and helpful brother and Max is a lucky guy to have a big brother like him watching out for him when he gets older.
Here is their Saturday morning. Complete with pajamas, lounging around, playing with dad, chilling with mom, and a little coffee to keep it going.

Love Session
Engagement Session
Jonathan texted me about a week ago asking me for some cool proposal spots in Memphis. I immediately texted him back with "I need deets."
You see, Andrew and I have known Jonathan for a few years through Street Reach Memphis, and for years Andrew and I have always thought Jonathan needed to date this certain girl. In my mind I had agreed to give him ideas if and only these proposal plans were for her. Thank goodness he answered with Kacie's name in that text! ;)
Memphis was where Kacie and Jonathan met and have served with Brinkley Heights Ministries and Street Reach for several years alongside other wonderful staff and volunteers. Their love and passion for the city of Memphis and the children and families of the Binghampton area overflows and is evident by their commitment to serve. Jonathan chose to propose at the Beale Street Landing, a place where he and Kacie had visited before. Kacie's co-workers made her think they were all going to dinner downtown, only to make a detour and drop Kacie off in a park where two signs led her to a staircase where Jonathan was waiting for her. They walked over to Beale Street Landing where Jonathan popped the question and then Andrew and I surprised her.
Kacie and Jonathan, words really cannot express how truly excited we are for you two! We can't wait to see how the rest of your story unfolds!
Kacie & Jonathan – 28 February 2015
The pictures are gorgeous and the story is the best. The shots are perfectly capturing their love for each other.
God has and continues to write a beautiful love story.
I have known Jonathan and his family for many years—in fact I was an Intern Teacher in his Second Grade Class at Alcoa Elementary.
What a lovely couple. And WOW—I never knew how beautiful Memphis was. Your photographs are breathtaking.
Thank you ALL for sharing this wonderful news.
Love this story!!! Great job capturing the experience and how much these two love each other! :)
These are gorgeous, Amy Dale!!!!!

EA Sports announced it's anniversary title Madden 25 will be available for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 owners earlier this year, while conveniently leaving out any mention of the Wii U. This led many people to believe that EA was cementing its stance against Nintendo by completely refusing to release new products on the console. Today, a representative from EA has confirmed that the Madden series will not be available on Wii U in 2013. This will be the first time the sports series will skip the Nintendo platform since 1991. Here's what the representative had to say:
"We will not be releasing a Wii U version of Madden NFL in 2013. However, we have a strong partnership with Nintendo and will continue to evaluate opportunities for delivering additional Madden NFL products for Nintendo fans in the future."
The strong partnership line of that quote is almost a joke, as EA has been almost violently fighting against Nintendo by making sure consumers know the publisher is not supporting the platform. Many speculated that Madden would still head to the Wii U, since Madden 13 was available and EA enjoys its yearly releases of all its sports titles. All hope of that is severed until the Wii U starts moving consoles and EA will be more than willing to jump back into bed with Nintendo in order to court their customers.

The RYA supports the UK and Devolved Governments' shared vision for clean, healthy, safe, productive and biologically diverse oceans and seas.
We recognise that establishing an ecologically coherent network of marine protected areas would contribute towards achieving this vision.
The RYA believes that in most cases this vision can be achieved without any adverse effect on either the public right or the safety of navigation for recreational boating.
We have been involved in all four of the English Regional Stakeholder Groups (RSG) and continue to work with stakeholders and the Dept. for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA).
RYA Northern Ireland, RYA Scotland and the Welsh Yachting Association are engaging directly with the Marine Protected Area (MPA) process in their respective countries with support from RYA HQ.
We believe there are three key issues that are critical to recreational boating interests in both the designation and management of marine protected areas (MPAs). These are:
1. The impact of MPAs on legitimate uses of the sea
2. The need for objective and robust evidence in the decision-making process
3. The proportionality, enforceability and effectiveness of proposals

Police say they expect within a day to arrest the Medford man and convicted child molester who investigators suspect stabbed his wife and four young children and set their west Medford house on fire, killing everyone but himself.
Jordan Adam Criado, 51, remained in the Rogue Valley Medical Center today under police custody while receiving treatment for smoke inhalation. He will be arrested as soon as he is able to be released from the hospital, Medford police Chief Tim George says.
"He's not walking out of there alone," George said. "He's walking out with us."
Criado has not yet been charged in the case.
Indictments containing multiple murder charges typically include at least one charge of aggravated murder, which could lead to the death penalty in Oregon upon conviction.
Investigators armed with a search warrant late this morning entered the Criados' house at 1027 W. 10th St. to recover evidence of the five deaths that represent the single largest homicide case in Jackson County's modern history.
Killed were Criado's wife, Tabasha Paige-Criado, 30, along with four children who have not yet been positively identified by investigators.
Several sources and school records have identified the Criados' eldest children as 7-year-old Elijah and 6-year-old Isaac. Tabasha Paige-Criado's Facebook page also listed her other children as 5-year-old Andrew and 2-year-old Aurora Elizabeth.
Police have said mother and children were all victims of stab wounds and smoke inhalation from the fire Criado allegedly set.
Jordan Criado was sentenced in 1990 in Sacramento County, Calif., to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to eight felony counts of lewd conduct with a child under the age of 14, court records show.
He was also arrested in Medford in 2005 on a warrant out of Bakersfield, Calif., for allegedly failing to register as a sex offender there, records show.

HILLSBORO -- Motion in the backfield, followed by the snap, led to an average of five yards a carry for the Hillsboro Hawks.
Their ground-and-pound running style barreled over the Sikeston Bulldogs to the tune of 267 rushing yards on 51 attempts during their Regional matchup on Wednesday night which aided the Hawks to a nail-biting 34-32 win.
Hillsboro will advance to the Sectional round on Monday when they will play the District 1 winner -- Farmington.
"They're strong, physical and they do things really well," Sikeston head coach Kent Gibbs said about their offense. "They're fundamentally sound and they did what a winning football team has to do."
Hillsboro senior Nathan Walsh led their Wing-T offense with 136 yards on 20 carries and scored one touchdown.
"Nathan did fine," Hillsboro head coach Brian Robbins said about his running back. "We're not very big on the line and I think our kids overachieve a lot. Nathan's a quality back."
Walsh credited Hillsboro's offensive line for his productive night through the tackles.
"For the most part, we did," Walsh said when asked if Hillsboro's offensive line was able to control Sikeston's defense. "They got us a few times but that's football. Our running game just opens up everything. It just makes everything a lot better."
On top of Walsh bowling over Sikeston defenders, Hillsboro's Austin Wagner added 79 yards on 16 touches while David McClellan added nine carries for 48 yards.
"We've had a lot of guys run the ball," said Walsh. "Over the course of the year, I think somewhere around 10 guys have rushed the ball and they're all averaging pretty decent amounts. That opens up our passing game."
While the Hawks kept gaining chunks of yardage on the turf, they would slip in a playaction pass that burnt the Bulldogs on two of Hillsboro quarterback Justin Horn's four completions on the night.
Horn was 4 of 9 for 112 yards and two touchdown passes. He also added a 1-yard running score.
"Sometimes we'll lull you to sleep a little bit," Robbins said. "We're very capable of throwing the football and Justin does a nice job with it. We've got a couple of guys that can catch it and do something with it.
"When we can take our shots, we'll take them."
Not only did the Hawks excel on offense, they also kept the high-scoring, big-play Bulldogs under wraps besides their late comeback in the fourth quarter.
"They're fast," Walsh said. "I thought we did a fairly good job of containing that, though. We fought hard, kept swinging and we turned the ball over three times but, we still won.
"They're a heck of a football team. No doubt about that."

HRH Princess Laurentien of the Netherlands, UNESCO Special Envoy on Literacy for Development
Princess Laurentien has been committed to the cause of literacy for more than 20 years. On March 24 she became UNESCO's Special Envoy on Literacy for Development worldwide.
She spoke to EduInfo about how she plans to use her position and what her hopes are for the Sixth International Conference on Adult Education to be held in Brazil in May where she will make the keynote speech.
Why is literacy your special cause?
I first became aware of the deep-rooted consequences of illiteracy for both people and society at large nearly twenty years ago in the United States. Years later, I taught illiterate adults as a volunteer when living in Belgium. It was a humbling experience. By sharing their life stories with me, the adult students who had been courageous enough to go back to school, helped me better understand what it means to function in society when you are illiterate.
Today, literacy has never been more crucial for development. In our digital world driven by knowledge, literacy is often a precondition to communication. Literacy goes to the heart of most learning! The benefits of literacy are enormous in all aspects of personal, social and economic life. I am very concerned about the huge gap that remains to be bridged in order to reach the agreed Education for All goal of halving the number of illiterate persons by 2015. Literacy for both young people and adults needs to move up the list of priorities of socio-economic issues, such as providing primary education for children. All issues are interlinked but again, it often starts with being literate and numerate.
The numbers across the globe are simply staggering. Some 776 million adults don't have sufficient reading and writing skills to function independently. Over 75 million children don't go to school. And across developed nations, about 5 to 20 per cent of our populations lack the literacy and numeracy skills to come along. This is what I call an unnecessary and uncomfortable truth. I am deeply committed to making a contribution to tackling this.
It is a particular concern to me how this issue is perceived and addressed in developed countries. Surveys reveal the size and scope of the problem of low skills and lack of basic competencies among adults in Europe. There is a persistent misperception about who is affected by illiteracy in Europe - it is not just immigrants or people with special needs. Take the Netherlands, with 1.5 million people who are functionally illiterate: two-thirds were born and bred in our country. The situation is similar in many other developed countries. The first step for countries is to admit that they often have unexpectedly high levels of illiteracy. It's a difficult, necessary and doable step towards the identification of appropriate solutions.
How have you been involved in literacy work in the Netherlands?
My main initiative is the Reading & Writing Foundation (Stichting Lezen & Schrijven), which I founded in 2004. The foundation is an active catalyst aimed at mobilizing all stakeholders in society to play their part in preventing and diminishing (functional) illiteracy.
The main objectives of the foundation are to raise awareness, bring together experts and unexpected stakeholders, develop pilot projects and involving others to roll out these practical solutions more broadly. We work on the principle of a snowball effect to reach out and involve business, social and government partners who can make a key contribution to this area. We choose promising and innovative projects tackling low literacy aimed at young people and adults, but also mobilizing the business community, parents and educational organizations. We have built our approach around the literacy "marketplace" creating and matching supply and demand: a diverse supply of formal and non-formal educational initiatives, and a demand for such initiatives among all kinds of organizations in society – from trade unions to prisons, from national to local authorities and companies to child healthcare centres. In the area of language and learning more generally, I hold honorary functions within the Dutch Language Society, the Listening and Braille Library of the Netherlands and the Dutch Association of Public Libraries.
How do you plan to use your position as Special Envoy on Literacy for Development?
Let me first say that I am delighted to start working with UNESCO more formally in my new role. I intend to work closely with all experts, adding value where I can to the framework of action provided by the United Nations Literacy Decade (UNLD, 2003-2012). This framework proposes a new vision of literacy, by situating Literacy for All at the heart of Education for All and by promoting it as a key for development and essential for the health and well-being of people everywhere. I will advocate these important messages, with the aim of helping to make a difference and create new dynamics. Literacy should be everyone's business, exactly because it goes to the heart of our societies. I will advocate for mobilizing more awareness, commitment and concerted action for tackling the literacy challenge. To tackle this complex issue structurally, we will also have to think outside of the box at times when it comes to solutions and involving stakeholders, from governments to business, from municipalities to educational experts and illiterates themselves. It's only by joining forces that we can make a real impact. It will therefore come as no surprise that I will focus on reaching out to those not yet fully aware or committed, rather than on preaching to the converted. In brief, I very much hope that I can contribute to reaching the objectives which the United Nations Literacy Decade aims at achieving by the end of 2012: to mobilize stronger commitment to literacy; to reinforce more effective literacy programme delivery; and to harness new resources for literacy.
What are the main messages you want to send on "Literacy for Development", which is the title of your position as UNESCO Special Envoy?
Literacy is about people, and thus literacy lies at the heart of society. I want to appeal to everyone to join forces for the benefit of development of both people and societies. Literacy is a vital means of human development. It is an enabling skill for further learning opportunities in the framework of lifelong learning. It leads to empowerment, social inclusion, health and better life chances. Everyone deserves to have those chances. So we need to urgently mobilise our entire societies to tackle illiteracy structurally, also by linking prevention and reduction. I would like to convince the key actors of the enormous potential of literacy and also show them the actual costs of illiteracy for our societies. And all this against the backdrop that we have no time to waste.
What will be your involvement in the Sixth International Conference on Adult Education (CONFINTEA VI) to be held in Belém, Brazil? And what are you hoping for from this Conference?
The Belém Conference will offer a unique platform for policy dialogue and advocacy on adult learning and education at the global level as it will gather Member States, United Nations agencies, multilateral and bilateral cooperation agencies, organizations from civil society, the private sector and learners from all over the world. During my keynote speech at the official opening, I intend to share with this wide audience my concerns and ideas on the way forward, particularly for adult literacy. In particular, I wish to stress the crucial role of literacy for development and for reaching the Millennium Development Goals. (Photo © Sebastiaan ter Burg)

Sighting Details
Approx. 2:30 am. Wednesday June 4 2014. I was outside sitting on my back patio on my phone shopping online and smoking a cigarette. I dont know what made me lookup from my phone, but when I did, thats when I noticed a yellowish-orange light (it kinda looked like it was outlined in red)moving lower in the sky. I turned my phone off because screen was too bright and I wanted to see this light better. At first, I thought it was a star but quickly realized it wasn't. It was maybe 100 feet in the air decending in a sort of curved 45 degree angle moving at a slow rate of speed. Once it got to the treetop it slowed almost to a stop, but looked as if it was bobbing up and down like floating on water. Then it moved to the right, and then back to the left. Then started decending very slowly. At this point, its behind the tree but I can still see it. It gave me the impression that it was "busy" doing something, like it was there for a purpose. It would hover and bob up and down and continue to decend. I watched it until it was so low that my back yard fence was in the way of me seeing it anymore. I was able to see it until it was about 8 feet off the ground. Also , where this light is hovering, there are houses right by the tree its behind and there was a dog barking in that area. I didnt attempt to take pictures or video because #1 i was too scared and #2 I didnt think my pbone would do well picking up the light behind a tree that was probably about 150 feet away. I cant quit thinking about what I saw. I remember I was scared and I wanted to wake my husband up so he could see it too but he was out of town. I told him about it when he got home.

So easy to use - can make any kind of legume soup, freeze, and just add a little of this rice to make a meal with complete protein. Saves time and freezer space. Also delicious on it's own.
Surprisingly good
Posted by Reviewer2362604 on Jun 22, 2014
I initially bought this hoping for a quick meal solution for my baby, but was pleasantly surprised to discover how great it tastes! I tried the broccoli soup recipe on the back and it turned out creamy and delicious. It's amazing how good these flakes are with just a little sea salt - no oil or butter needed. The recipe on the back says hot cereal, but I've used it in place of rice for lunch and dinner.

Nazeem & Nadia
The Lord Charles Hotel
Nadia and Nazeem's wedding was a mix of classic and modern. Have a look at the cake, the "couple" on the top are holding PC3 consoles … these two love challenging each other when playing games.
I could not attend the Nikah, but once that was completed I met both Nadia and Nazeem at Banksia Boutique. Here Nadia changed into her second dress, just as beautiful as the first. Imagine having two wedding dresses … every girls dream … sigh … We then moved over to Somerset West to take the photographs. We had loads of fun and even got caught in the rain.
The Lord Charles was the setting for the reception. Here the speeches unfolded into laughter and prayer. It was great spending this special day with you both. Thank you.

One of the jobs of the physios is to get the kneecap moving again.
As in:
Get a firm grip on the kneecap and move it up and down, left and right, for as long as it takes, all the while ignoring any screams of pain and appeals for mercy from the patient.
Not quite that bad, but it's something I could have done without.
These tender fingers belong to Lisa, one of Holger Bergmann's
She's really good.
And she hasn't even finished her studies...

Manufacturing operations in the EU that involve the processing of beryllium metal or beryllium containing alloys are very few in number and exposure is confined to workers. Releases and health risks can be controlled through conventional risk management measures commonly used in industry.
The major sources of beryllium releases are not the result of manufacturing operations, but are from naturally occurring beryllium. Coal fired power plants present the largest source of releases of beryllium to the environment.
The general population is not exposed to beryllium metal due to its presence in manufactured products, but because beryllium is a naturally occurring element.
- Found at 0.5 to 2ppm or higher in soils, rocks and coal throughout the world
- Commonly found in coal, wood, vegetables, foodstuffs and gemstones such as aquamarine and emerald
- Found at ppb levels in most plants and vegetables
- Naturally occurring in ground water and surface water
- In air, beryllium compounds are present mostly as fine dust particles
Beryllium has been measured (fresh weight) in:
- rice at 72 µg/kg
- lettuce at 16 µg/kg
- kidney beans at 2200 µg/kg
- peas at 109 µg/kg
- potatoes at 0.59 µg/kg
Beryllium in Fuels
- Average Beryllium content in coal: 1.90 ppm
- Average Beryllium content of coal ash: 28.35 ppm
- Average Beryllium content of fuel oil: 0.1 – 0.2 ppm
Beryllium in Soils and Waters
- Beryllium enters waterways from the wearing away of rocks and soil
- Beryllium in soil does not dissolve in water, but remains bound to the soil
- Once in the soil, the beryllium is not very likely to move deeper into the ground and enter groundwater
- Fish do not accumulate beryllium from water into their bodies to any great extent
Beryllium in Household & Construction Products
- Ceiling tiles
- Fertilizers
- Detergents
- Charcoal
- Kitty litter
- Concrete block
- Concrete floors
- Metals
- Roofing materials
Beryllium in Industrial Products
- Cement
- Oil & oil dry
- Metals
- Sandpaper
- Abrasive blasting agents (used to replace sand)
- Grinding wheels
- Welding rods

The state of Florida has had a very bizarre year. Instead of oranges being the state's most popular export, it was fish. And it was not just any ordinary fish like cod, flounder, or snapper, but Marlin.
That's right--Marlin! There have been more Marlins shipped out of Florida this winter than oranges.
OK, so that isn't entirely true, but it sure has seemed like it this offseason. Owner Jeffrey Loria made it known that unless the city of Miami or the state of Florida assists in building his organization a new stadium, that he would not be able to afford to field the kind of team he did in 2005, meaning he was prepared to strike the match that ignited this year's hot stove league and resulted in an offseason fire sale the likes of which we have never seen.
Oh wait a minute--my mistake. Way back in 1997, Wayne Huzienga conceived the first Marlin fire sale soon after leading the organization to their first ever Championship. Back then the Marlins traded, sold and waived such players as Gary Sheffield, Moises Alou, Al Leiter, Edgar Renteria, Bobby Bonilla, Charles Johnson, Cliff Floyd, Kevin Brown, Livan Hernandez and Robb Nen. So, who have they sent packing this time?
In less than three months, the Marlins have bid adieu to their entire infield (including their starting catcher), three out of five of their starting pitchers, their closer, their two best set-up men and their entire outfield. For those of you wondering where Miguel Cabrera went, keep in mind that he is moving from left field to third base in 2006. The Marlins were so caught up in the moment they even sold the rights to one of their players to a team in Japan.
Ordinarily I would list each player that was traded away or signed by another team and speak of how it will affect you in the upcoming year, but there just is not enough room to break down the Marlin's losses.
The Marlins will be without many players worthy of being on fantasy squads. Fantasy-stud first baseman Carlos Delgado was dealt to the Mets. Starting second baseman, Luis Castillo was sent to Minnesota. Alex Gonzalez, who has started at short for the Marlins for seven straight seasons, has not been offered a contract. Mike Lowell, who suffered a miserable 2005, was dealt to the Red Sox where he will probably rebound to be "Comeback Player of the Year." Solid hitting Paul LoDuca was sent to the Mets and will catch for them in 2006. And folks--that is just the infield.
In the outfield, the Marlins will have to replace speedster Juan Pierre, whom they sent packing for Chicago. Also leaving Florida was right fielder Juan Encarnacion, who was recently signed to play in St. Louis. The only other starting outfielder left is Miguel Cabrera, who will be making a move of his own. But, unlike the other Marlin moves, this one takes place internally. Cabrera will move from left field to third base this season to play his natural position.
Now, that is a lot for any team to overcome, but wait! There's more! The Marlins could not claim to have held a true fire sale unless they depleted not only their infield and outfield, but also their pitching staff.
Last year's five man rotation is a distant memory for the Marlins. Late last season the Yankees acquired Al Leiter for the stretch run. Then once the off-
season began, the Fish traded Josh Beckett to the Red Sox. They then watched idly as the Toronto Blue Jays signed A.J. Burnett to a blockbuster deal.
With three-fifths of the rotation history, they moved on to exporting the bullpen. In less than three months Ron Villone, Guillermo Mota, Antonio Alfonseca, and closer, Todd Jones all held press conferences wearing other team's hats. The Fish declined their club option on Alfonseca to soon watch Jones ink a deal with the Detroit Tigers. Then, in a pair of moves that made it look like they were trying to send the rest of their pitching to the AL East, they traded Mota to the Red Sox and Villone to the Yankees. Players Added
Well, as we have already shown, they lost a ton of players. In doing so, they have something to show for it. They made a point to land some of the brightest young players available to them from other organizations.
They landed top prospects like SS Hanley Ramirez from Boston and left-
handed slugging first baseman Mike Jacobs from the New York Mets. In the same deal, they also acquired one of the better minor league pitching prospects in all of baseball in Yusmeiro Petit.
These are the only three that can make an impact in the world of fantasy, and that is only if you have a deep keeper league.
The one thing that they did manage to do is pick up numerous arms to stockpile their minor league system. As much as that will do help their club in the future, it will do nothing to impact your fantasy squad.
Come on--I mean, seriously! Do you really think they could do anymore than they already have? If anything, they may sign a few stragglers off of the free agent pool prior to spring training.
The Marlins go into 2006 with a new player at every starting position. Third base is the only position not in question. Remember, All-Star Miguel Cabrera will be starting there this season. Other than third there will be a real battle for starting spots.
By year's end, I believe the Marlins will field a lineup that includes an infield of Mike Jacobs at 1B, Dan Uggla at 2B, Hanley Ramirez as SS, and Cabrera at 3B. In the outfield you will find Eric Reed, Jeremy Hermida, and Chris Aguila will rise to the top of the pack.
The rotation and bullpen will be up in the air until opening day. The only sure thing is that Dontrelle Willis will be the opening day starter. He is also probably the only starting pitcher worthy of being on your fantasy roster.
As for the bullpen, I suggest keeping an eye on Joe Borowski and Travis Bowyer. If one of them has a strong spring and is given the role of closer, take a chance on them, but only as the fourth option in your pen.
If you have any questions concerning keeper leagues, point leagues, auction leagues, prospects, sleepers, come-back players, etc, send me an email and I will address your question in print.
I appreciate and look forward to receiving your emails. Feel free to send any suggestions or comments you may have to John Ginther at email@example.com.

Is Monsanto's 'Cure' For World Hunger Cursing The Global Food Supply?
What if the very GM agricultural system that Monsanto claims will help to solve the problem of world hunger depends on a chemical that kills the very pollinator upon which approximately 70% of world's food supply now depends? A new study published in the Journal of Experimental Biology titled, "Effects of field-realistic doses of glyphosate on honeybee appetitive behavior," establishes a link between the world's most popular herbicide – aka Roundup – and the dramatic decline in honeybee populations in North American and Europe that lead to the coining of the term 'colony collapse disorder.'

A fire in Palmyra, Lebanon County, Thursday afternoon damaged two buildings.
The blaze started in 205 West Main Street and caused damage to 207 West Main Street.
It took about 75 firefighters to put out the fire that spread to three homes.
More than 12 people were burned out of their homes.
Connie Feger, who lives on the first floor of 205, lost three cats and a rabbit.
Feger said a teen girl who lives upstairs came running down, telling Feger and her family to get out.
Investigators said they think a candle may have caused the fire.
