Life At Ferrets With Soul(e)
Soule said she starts working for the ferrets as soon as her feet hit the floor in the morning, and within 10 minutes she's making their soup and getting medications ready.
"Of course, I have to hand out some treats as I am fixing the soup," Soule said, "otherwise, it wouldn't be a pretty picture in the ferret room. The kids are already crowded around the soup bowls and some even sitting in them. Guess, they don't want to be left out."
She then checks on any new ferrets, switches a couple groups of ferrets and starts cleaning and playing with the ferrets.
"I go into the bathroom and turn on the shower, and then I have about a dozen soaking wet kids running around on the papers that I had just laid down on the floor. If it is the day for the bedding to be changed, I set up the cage with the help of several kids, which takes a bit longer but they are having fun and so am I. I strip the floors of all bedding, newspapers and boxes. Then I start in one corner of the room and work my way around scrubbing the floors, changing all of the water, filling up the food bowls, handing out some Ferretone and redressing the floor with a comforter and a child's sleeping bag. My old girls love sleeping on the floor in the bags."
It takes Soule about three or four hours to clean the top floor of the ferret area. Then she switches around the ferret groups again. From there, she starts in on laundry, cleaning the ferret bowls, the downstairs and her bedroom. This is also when she'll work in feeding any sick ferrets that need food every two or three hours around the clock.
"If I have vet appointments, then that is done after my cleaning," Soule said. "Some weeks I am at the vet every day, and that isn't much fun. Then I have to start doing the same routine in the evening. [It] doesn't leave much time to do much of anything else."
But Soule does get help from Chris Moses and Caleb Nugent when they can lend a hand, and her friend Mel Sartuche steps in when Soule needs to go out of town.
Vet For The Shelter
The veterinarian who cares for the ferrets of the Ferrets With Soul(e) shelter is Dr. Cameron Ross at the Carson Valley Vet Hospital, 1390 Hwy 88, Minden, NV 89423.
Keeping The Shelter Going
Running a ferret shelter brings a lot of expenses, and Soule uses several creative ways to raising money. One of the biggest is the ferret frolic event she holds every September.
"Last year's was the best turnout that I have ever had," Soule said. "Probably over 60 people and lots of fuzzies attended. We have several raffles, silent auction, live auction, bake sale, hamburger/hot dog lunches, items for sale, games for the ferrets and people, and the rent a ferret."
In addition, she sells merchandise, including the Ferrets with Soul(e) Rescue/Shelter calendar, T-shirts, mugs, key chains, etc. She also has a full line of ferret cards available on eBay. Anyone who wants to purchase the cards, can contact Soule at email@example.com.
Ferrets with Soul(e) shelter uses donated funds for its veterinarian, food and supplies. It welcomes gift certificates and volunteers. The shelter doesn't have its own website, but it can be found on Petfinder. You can type in Ferrets with Soul(e) and find their info. They are also listed on Support Our Shelters.

Manny Pacquiao believes in the possibility of a Valero Conspiracy Theory
Boxings pound for pound king Manny Pacquiao, recently commented on the tragic situation with Valero and his wife. In addition to expressing shock and condolences, Manny wasnt completely sold on the idea that Valero hung himself in the jail cell. Lets examine Mannys comments further.
I was surprised when I heard of what happened. I condole with his family, let us pray for his soul. Pacquiao, ABS-CBN News
Condolences should be sent out to the family and friends of Edwin and Jennifer Valero; for they will have to truly endure the devastating loss and troubling criticism long after the media stops covering this story. I truly hope that something can be learned from this tragedy to prevent any future incidents like this.
In addition to these comments, Manny expressed his concern over the news that Valero committed suicide in a jail cell. Manny made the following comments about the suicide through his adviser Mike Koncz:
He thought about the possibility of a conspiracy. And that it was possible that the family of Valeros wife had powerful friends and so there could have been a conspiracy to get back at Valero. Koncz, Philstar.com
Koncz goes on to say the following:
Someone might have gotten back at Valero. If police authorities felt that Valero could be a danger even to himself, they should have stripped him down to his briefs inside his cell or put on a straight jacket on him. They do that in the United States. Venezuelan authorities should have placed Valero under suicidal watch. Koncz, Philstar.com
Vince Anderson Sacramento, CA Do you believe in a possible conspiracy theory over Valeros suicide?
One of the first things I thought, after hearing the news about Valeros suicide, was why didnt the police put him on suicide watch? Valero was apparently under the influence of something and has a history of psychological problems.
It doesnt seem to make sense that a guy with his fame and well documented problems would be left unmonitored. However, its easy for people to say theres a conspiracy especially when they dont have all the facts. Unfortunately, as of right now, there are more questions than answers.
Koncz touched on the fact that in America if there are any hints toward possible suicide or mental issues then inmates are put on suicide watch and all things that could aid in suicide are taken away. However, we dont know how the Venezuelan legal system works. Perhaps, they dont have the same process. Perhaps, they didnt think Valero was a suicide threat. Perhaps, there really was a revenge factor from those who wanted to punish Valero for killing his wife.
I do agree that there are too many holes in the details that have been released. Do these holes equate to a conspiracy? Im afraid that we might not ever get the complete truth on Valeros suicide.
Do you readers believe in a conspiracy theory?

I don't care whatever conspiracy exist or not exist.
Valero is going to be hanged anyway even if he doesn't want it.

Thanks Pacquiao for spreading these dumb conspiracy theories around of a mental-midget who was known to beat his family members and Valero was also a known drug-abuser.

who gives a ****. Valero should have been in prison just for the earlier incident last month to begin with. He beat his wife so bad her ribs punctured her lungs for god's sake and some people are still defending him. If there was a conspiracy to off him then guess what, GOOD! Finally justice in this world and another scumbag off the streets.

This should be fun.
All the *******s were insulting the two guys posting here who were claiming this could be a conspiracy. Let's all wait and see if they change their tune, now that their god thinks it could be a conspiracy as well.

Say if they had Valero murdered? Oh no, a guy who stabbed his wife to death and was a man known to beat the **** out of his family members by breaking their ribs. Are we that upset if that turns out to be the case? I, honestly don't think its that is the case but even if it was, I'm all for vigilante justice.

Predicting How Good A Recipe Is
One of the takeaways from the 2012 election was how good algorithms that use statistical models to predict results can be.
In fact, Big Data's promise (and its less glamorous cousin, analytics' promise) is exactly that – that it can forecast and determine a wide variety of things: how likely is a customer to buy product X, how well will an employee fit in and work out or how Facebook or Twitter chatter can mean a drop or a boost in sales.
To illustrate the promise of forecasting, an interesting article on NPR talks about algorithms applied to recipes
…an algorithm to guess how successful a recipe will turn out. And the math works surprisingly well. It predicts with nearly 80 percent accuracy how many stars your mother's cranberry recipe will receive on allrecipes.com. Plus, it can recommend ingredient replacements to make your pie crust and potatoes more healthful.
She and her team took nearly 50,000 recipes and 2 million reviews from allrecipes.com and then hacked up an algorithm to extract out all the ingredients, cooking methods and nutritional profiles. With just these items, her algorithm could predict the recipe's rating with an accuracy of about 70 percent.
For a slightly different "Good of Humanity meets Business meets Algorithms" story, we also turn towards the rise of crop insurance and companies offering crop insurance, via The Economist:
The Climate Corporation, a start-up based in Silicon Valley, wants to reverse the trend and reduce farmers' financial risks—by crossing agriculture with the IT industry's latest trend: big data. The firm is collecting all kinds of information—including on weather patterns, climate trends and soil characteristics—and analyses the data down to an individual field. These insights are then used to offer farmers tailored insurance policies against the damage from extreme weather events.
For now it is focusing on the U.S., but based on its success here, it is looking to go global. The millions of farmers across the world who badly need something like this (instead of depending on government handouts which are subject to the whims and vagaries of corrupt bureaucrats) should rejoice.

Reconciling Krugman and Keen using nef's model
Photo credit: 00Joshi
September 7, 2012 // By: Emanuele Campiglio
A few months ago a heated row took place between the economists Paul Krugman, American Nobel prize winner, and Steve Keen, the Australian author of a book entitled "Debunking Economics". The argument, which triggered wide debate across the blogosphere, was sparked by a difference in the way the two looked at things such as the process of credit creation and the role of debt in the wider macroeconomic framework.
The dispute was ignited by a paper prepared by Steve Keen for the INET conference in Berlin, in which he asserted that changes in the levels of debt add to the economy's aggregate demand. In other words, aggregate demand in an economy can be different from income, and the difference is equal to the net change in the level of debt. The concept can appear a bit odd, and certainly sounds very different from what Krugman so often repeats: "Your spending is my income, and my spending is your income"!
The point that Steve Keen makes is very subtle and it's no wonder that even an economist as experienced as Krugman struggled to get it. We at nef, being involved in macroeconomic modeling ourselves, have tried to unravel the issue using our own tools. We therefore built a simplified version of our model to run numerical simulations of different scenarios (have a look at this if you want to have a taste of the complete model).
Below you can find a presentation that explains our analysis. You can flip through the pages or download it from this link. In this work:
- We clarify Keen's analysis. We do so by explicitly identifying two
different variables:
- Realized expenditures;
- Planned (or desired) expenditures.
- We show that the main difference between him and Krugman (and the main
source of confusion in the debate) is the way they think of aggregate demand:
- Krugman identifies Aggregate Demand with Realized Expenditure;
- Keen instead defines Aggregate Demand with Planned Expenditure.
- We show through numerical simulations that both Keen and Krugman are
right in their own logic:
- Realized Expenditure (Krugman's Aggregate Demand) is indeed equal to Aggregate Income. That is equivalent to say that what has been actually spent will result to be someone else's income.
- Planned Expenditure (Keen's Aggregate Demand) can instead be different from Aggregate Income and the discrepancy is, as Keen argues, equal to the net change in the levels of debt.
- We argue that Keen's definition of Aggregate Demand is more appropriate, especially if the role of credit creation by private banks in shaping macroeconomic dynamics is to be understood.
- We show how, in the simplified model we present, no growth can take place without the creation of credit by banks. The net change in the level of debt (what we call 'Net Credit Creation' = Credit Creation less Debt Repayment) is the single most important variable affecting the dynamics of the economy.
- Finally, we expand Keen's idea to include the supply side (i.e. the production process) into the picture. This allows us to consider the case in which planned expenditure doesn't become realized expenditure because of a supply bottleneck.
This presentation will be followed very soon by another one dealing with the way we model banks and credit creation, and by a full working paper. We hope this could contribute to bring the debate a step further. And of course, any comment is more than welcome.

My votes for the 2008 NBA Awards are:
MVP: Chris Paul
Rookie of the Year: Kevin Durant
Defensive Player of the Year: Josh Smith
Sixth Man of the Year: Manu Ginobili
Most Improved Player: Hedo Turkoglu
Coach of the Year: Byron Scott
MVP= LeBron James/ CP3
Defensive Player=Marcus Camby
Sixth man= Manu
Most improved.... this is a hard one. But I pick Rondo or Bynum.
Coach of the year= Byron Scott
Rookie. Al Horford.
Check out what espn's got to say
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
I picked LeBron, because getting assists, being a team leader, and team player is what its all about. Points Rebound Steals and Assists.
CP3 for the turn around of the Hornets. and his steals, points, and assists.
Camby keeps on improving, and defensively with 3.6 blocks per game, he is the defensive player of the year.
COY. Byron Scott, great coach.
My votes for the 2008 NBA Awards are:
MVP: Chris Paul
Rookie of the Year: Kevin Durant
Defensive Player of the Year: Josh Smith
Sixth Man of the Year: Manu Ginobili
Most Improved Player: Hedo Turkoglu
Coach of the Year: Byron Scott
Jeremon Linbury
MVP = Kobe Bryant
Defensive POY = Kevin Garnett
Sixth Man = Manu Ginobili (don't really care)
Most Improved: Hedo Turkoglu or Rajon Rando
Coach of the year = Byron Scott
ROY = Al Horford
Chris Paul actually deserves it a little more than Kobe, but this will be the season they finally reward the so-called "Greatest Scorer who ever played the game" (Jordan being the Greatest Player who ever played the game) the MVP (Chris Paul fans need not worry since he's very much likely gonna win it next season). Kobe finally demonstrated the right kind of leadership to make his team a strong favorite to win the Championship. Everyone doubted before the season this will happen but Kobe proved them all wrong. If Kobe doesn't win it this year, mark my words he'll NEVER will. FYI: I've NEVER been a Kobe fan (even hating him for his attitude and overconfidence in years past), but this year I think he has matured well enough and has earned my respect for how he led the Lakers. This year he finally was not just a "Scorer", he became a "Player".
For Defensive POY, hopefully for this season it doesn't center on stats. Similar to how Steve Nash won his MVP's, it should be how the player has transformed a team and made his teammates better, and for this case a team that had no defense a year ago to best defensive team in the league. That man is KG. He has put the "D" on every Celtic, and it spread quickly like a virus. People would argue and say Thibodeau is behind it. But still, KG was the motor that made it possible.
Sixth Man of the Year: Just wanted to say that I haven't been a big fan of this award ever since winners were players who were technically 6th men just because they came off the bench, but actually played more minutes than most starters.
ROY: All Durant does is score, and he's lucky he's on a team that makes him the no.1 option. His stats are terrible (shooting is way off too). And he's a ballhog. This would be much easier for Horford had he averaged 14 and 10 (currently 10.2 and 9.6 with a game to play).

The Official MSG33 End Of Season Awards
I didnt reply initially because i wanted more time to think about it.
MVP-Kobe Bryant
Rookie of the Year-Al Horford
Defensive Player of the Year-Marcus Camby
6th Man of the Year-Ginobli
Most Improved-Turkoglu
Coach of the Year-MO Cheeks
MVP-I gave it to Kobe (no homo) for a couple reasons. I hate Michael Jordan and anything that helps me argue that kobe is greater makes me happy. Im hopin Kobe can win a couple more championships. Some of you may not respect the way I chose the MVP, well your not alone. I cant even respect it myself. But in my defense the Lakers were playing great before the acquisition of Pau Gasol. Kobe is playing better then ever while deferring to his teammates. Hes also a great defender, one of the best at the shooting guard position.
If you ask me what player has the biggest impact on their team, I would have to say Lebron James followed by Chris Paul. If the Hornets were in the East I dont think they would be as bad without Chris Paul as the Cavs would be without Lebron.
Rookie of the Year-I had to go with Horford over Durrant because the Hawks are in the playoffs and the Soncis are the worst team in the league.
Defensive Player of the Year-Averaging 3.6 blocks, Camby is the best shot blocker in the NBA. He is also the 2nd best rebounder, and his presence down low alters alot of shots.
6th Man of the Year-Ginobli brings toughness, offense, defense, passing, leadership, and teamplay off the bench. You cant ask for a better player coming off the bench. He got snubbed from the all-star game.
Most Improved Player of the Year-In my opinion Turkoglu has been a bigger part of the Magic then Rashard Lewis. His passying and offense have been a huge suprise at least to me. Hes a very smart and underrated player. I hate to admit this but I had to give Rondo some consideration for this award, he has progressed throughout the season and hes a very solid point guard now. We'll see how he does in the playoffs.
Coach of the Year-Mo Cheeks did an incredible job with the 76ers. I have to admit that at the beginning of the season the 76ers were the only team I was counting out in the East. They sonned me. Not only were they not the worst team but their in the playoffs. Im happy for them, its always good to see a team overachieve because of the large number of teams that underachieve (knicks, bulls, etc.) Great job done by Mo Cheeks, the former gm (i cant think of his name), and the entire 76ers team.

While colorful makeup electrified the New York runways, beauty was decidedly darker across the pond.
While colorful makeup electrified the New York runways, beauty was decidedly darker across the pond. Instead of a full rainbow palette, makeup artists in London and Milan used color sparingly and strategically. Makeup was dark or non-existent — black lips, smoky eyes, and severe bronzer. Hairstyles were basic — either down, in braids, gelled back, messy, or with rolled bangs. Then there were the anti-beauty, alien-inspired ladies: yellow eyeliner at Todd Lynn, red eyelids at Prada, and actual zombies at Ann-Sofie Back. But runways didn't miss out on the color wheel entirely. The biggest pop of color landed on the lips, like flamingo pink at Nathan Jenden, tangerine orange at Richard Nicoll, and cherry red at Salvatore Ferragamo. So if you want to take a cue from the Brits and Italians, go ahead. Just make sure to keep your colors in check.

on September 22, 2011 - 12:01 AM
For teens, finding the right car can be difficult. Your parents want you to have a safe car that gets great fuel economy, with low insurance rates. And, you want a car that looks cool, has a great stereo with an MP3 player and is able to fit your friends in the back.
To please both parties, here's a list of cars that come with the following: traction control, electronic stability control, MP3 hookups, satellite radio, cost under $20,000 and great fuel economy.
*Chevy Cruze Sedan LS
MSRP from $16,720
26 city/36 highway MPG
Chevrolet has put out a great car with this one: affordable, safe and fun. The car gets very good fuel economy while still being fun with its 1.8 liter engine. The handling is tight, and the transmission shifts are very smooth. The interior is fancy, you slip securely into the front seats, it has a big trunk, but unfortunately, the back seats are a little uncomfortable.
*Fiat 500 Pop
MSRP from $15,500
30 city/38 highway MPG
This new little car from Italy is a blast and great looking, too. It is compact, squeezing in plenty of head space and legroom, while housing a 1.4 liter engine and some tight handling. You can get the 500 loaded with a ton of luxury options like Bluetooth and customized leather seating. Compared to its rival, the Mini Cooper, the Fiat 500 has less cargo room. It would be better to get a manual transmission, as it gets noticeably better fuel economy than the automatic version.
*Mini Cooper
MSRP from $19,500
29 city/37 highway MPG
Some would say that you get more than what you pay for with the Mini Cooper, as it is exciting to drive and you will fall in love with it. The Cooper has plenty of space for the passengers, and trunk space as well. This BMW-powered little roadster runs with a 1.6 liter engine and about 170 horsepower. For those sitting in the back seat, the legroom might be on the small side, but they can always be popped down to increase the trunk space.
*Ford Focus Sedan
MSRP from $16,500
26 city/36 highway MPG
The brand-new 2012 model of the Focus is powerful looking and a great redesign of the older version. The new Focus is fun, safe and very up-to-date. The ride is comfortable and smooth, providing an enjoyable drive each time, the engine, a 2.0 liter, has quite a bit of pickup and gets good fuel economy, too. There are a lot of high-tech options that you can load the car up with, too. The electronics system might take a bit of getting used to, the shifts on the automatic transmission are a little odd, and there isn't a ton of legroom for the back seats.
*Kia Forte Koup EX
MSRP from $16,995
25 city/35 highway MPG
Another affordable car, the Forte may not be on your list of prospective cars, but it should be. It is worth its price and gets good fuel economy, too. The Forte has a long warranty and comes with Bluetooth standard. It's a fun drive, too, with tight handling and a bit of pickup. Depending on the surface you're driving on, you might hear a lot of road noise, and the steering wheel has limited adjustment, unless you upgrade to a more sporty or luxury version.
*Toyota Corolla
MSRP from $15,900
28 city/35 highway MPG
This is a more luxurious option for a first car. The ride is smooth, the handling is comfortable, the controls are simple, and the car runs quietly. The Corolla is compact but offers plenty of room for all of your things and enough space for passengers as well. The overall impression of the Corolla is a little low, but it does seem worth its low price and it is very safe overall.
*Hyundai Elantra GLS
MSRP from $15,195
29 city/40 highway MPG
Of all the cars on this list, the Elantra gets the best fuel economy. With its 1.8 liter engine, it is definitely worth its price. The seats are all very comfortable, and the trunk is large and accommodating. The Elantra is very stylish and gets a long warranty, too. For those who want a fun, sporty car, this is probably not for them, and it will be a little uncomfortable for those sitting in the back seat if they are tall.
*Mazda 3 Sedan iSV
MSRP from $15,800
25 city/33 highway MPG
This car is fun to drive, great handling and very affordable with an energetic 2.5-liter engine. It has a high-quality feel, but the front grill is a little goofy. However, the controls are a little complicated, the navigation screen is tiny, and cabin and trunk space is smaller than the competitors. There is an impressive list of luxury options if you have the budget.
*Nissan Juke S
MSRP from $19,570
27 city/32 highway MPG
Some people might think that the Juke is a little odd-looking, but you'll fall in love fast once you drive it a bit and try out the sound system. It's sporty, roomy and comfy. This 1.6 liter, all-wheel drive small SUV is lots of fun, and is smooth, too. The back seats have limited headroom, and the interior and exterior styling might be off-putting to some people.
*Scion xD
MSRP from $15,110
27 city/33 highway MPG
This is a very "edgy" car and will attract some attention with the funky, new look. The stereo system is super high-tech, and the back seats move and recline just like the front ones. This is another 1.8 liter engine that has a smooth ride. Two negative points would be the limited trunk space and the shorter head space for people who are tall.
*Volkswagen Jetta
MSRP from $15,365
24 city/34 highway MPG}
This car is unique and beautiful from its sporty looking grill and unique lighting design to the taillights, with a roomy interior. It has great pickup and good fuel economy, too. I wish it had a larger navigation screen and rear disc brakes. It feels like a more expensive car like an Audi or BMW.
*Honda Civic DX
MSRP from $15,605
28 city/36 highway MPG
The Civic still looks good and drives well. It has great fuel economy and plenty of customization options. The interior is quite spacious, and there is a lot of room for all the passengers. The Civic is also safe as it has airbags in every angle of the interior of the car. The dashboard can seem cluttered at times, and the noise can be a bit loud while you're driving on the highway.

We print your designs onto our products by hand. In the plot printing process (flex and flock), the parts of your design are first cut from printing foils. Then each color is pressed individually onto the product. In order to achieve the best printing results, we take a look at your vector design and decide in which order we print each color.
This tutorial explains how to create a multi-colored vector graphic that we can print in the best possible quality.
We are only able to print a maximum of 3 colors with plot printing (flex and flock). Designs with 3 colors are pressed three times; designs with 2 colors are pressed 2 times etc.
Make each color a separate layer in your design. Your design should then have a maximum of 3 layers.
The following star design will serve as an example. This vector design is made up of 3 layers. When printing this design, the first layer is pressed first, followed by the 2nd and then the 3rd layer:
An other way to print the star is this one:
Mind the gap: The danger with this variation is that unwanted lines may appear. These lines are small gaps between the prints where the product's fabric can be seen. They occur when the different foils are pressed onto the product under high heat. Sometimes the foils can shift, warp or move slightly from their original position, thus creating these small gaps:
On how to avoid gaps, please refer to section 4.
Sometimes it isn't possible to set every color as a full layer, as seen in this example:
One possibility here is to stamp or cut out a small star from the grey and red layers.
You will be able to achieve the desired results with three layers, however, small gaps between the foils can also appear here (between red and grey):
This is how you avoid gaps:
You need to widen the notch of the grey star a bit more so that the grey area will not penetrate into the red star, even if the designs shift slightly when pressed:
First make sure that your vector graphics can be set as a full layer (see point 2). You need to combine all elements of the same color to a single layer (Corel: highlight all relevant curves > Ctrl+L). If you can still see every element of your design, then it can be printed.
If you cannot create the vector graphic as a full layer, you need to emboss its parts. Be aware of overlapping (see point 4).
Vector graphics can unfortunately not be uploaded with the T-Shirt Designer. In order to design products with vector graphics, this is what you need to do:

January 24, 2000
WOODINVILLE--The Woodinville City Council is conducting an ongoing discussion on how far to extend the eligibility boundaries for Tree Board applicants. The terms of two Tree Board members--Karen Steeb and Jim Erickson--end January 31. Not enough qualified applicants have responded to City ads seeking replacements since Oct. 18.
The current municipal code requires that at least three of the five Tree Board members be city residents. Of the three residents, one must be a certified arborist and two must be plant industry professionals.
In their Jan. 17 study session, the Council entertained the idea that a lack of qualified applicants who live within city limits might cause them to extend recruitment borders, to accept applications from more qualified people outside city limits. That would also require amending the current code to include more than two non-residents. City staff have proposed extending the borders to 124th Ave. on the west, NE 124th St. on the south, Avondale Rd. NE on the east and Woodinville-Duvall Rd. on the north.
"I favor changing our ads to include people like the Monroe arborist who works in Woodinville," said Deputy Mayor Marsha Engel. "I used to have Crystal Lake neighbors who considered themselves Woodinville residents--their kids go to Woodinville schools--despite the 'imaginary boundary' of the Snohomish County border."
"I think it's very important that Tree Board members have good plant knowledge--more important than the city residency qualification," said councilmember Carol Bogue. "When I was a Tree Board member, I had the least plant knowledge (despite being a resident). I think we should also ask the current Tree Board members their opinion."
Several councilmembers agreed that some applications from non-resident Woodinville Garden Club members should be considered. Councilmember Don Brocha also favored recruiting outside city limits, and Barbara Solberg favored limiting Tree Board inclusion to one non-resident.
"I think it's appropriate to extend invitations to Garden Club members," said Bob Miller. "It's a natural extension to the interest they have shown in the city. They've put a lot of time and energy into beautifying Woodinville."
Mayor Randy Ransom summarized the consensus to initially accept the city staff recommendation to extend recruiting borders. If that doesn't net enough qualified applicants in the next month, the Council could extend those borders further, said Ransom.

MARTINSBURG - The West Virginia Supreme Court issued a memorandum decision Friday denying an appeal filed by a Martinsburg man who pleaded guilty to taking part in a home invasion robbery that resulted in former Berkeley County commissioner and president Howard L. Strauss being severely beaten and left for dead.
Ronald L. Shamburg, 25, who is currently incarcerated at the Huttonsville Correctional Center, pleaded guilty in January 2012 to felony charges of first-degree robbery, conspiracy to commit robbery and malicious assault in Berkeley County Circuit Court.
He was sentenced April 3, 2012, by West Virginia 23rd Judicial Circuit Judge Gray Silver III to 40 years in prison for the first-degree robbery conviction; one to five years in prison for the conspiracy conviction; and two to 10 years in prison for the malicious assault conviction. The sentence was appealed by Shamburg's attorney, Steven A. Greenbaum, who argued on appeal that his client's sentence was excessive and that Silver should have disqualified himself from the case because of a conflict of interest based on the fact that Strauss was a former elected county official.
"The 40-year sentence neither shocks the conscience nor is disproportionate given the nature of the offense. Petitioner attempts to differentiate himself from other violent offenders that have come before this court ... We find these arguments unpersuasive in light of the cold and calculating nature of petitioner's actions that was apparent to the circuit court," a copy of the court's opinion reads.
Shamburg was arrested following the July 13, 2011, home invasion robbery, during which Strauss was Tasered several times and severely beaten. Strauss identified Shamburg-who had been employed to perform landscaping work for him-and two other individuals as the assailants who attacked him. Each individual later confessed.
Shamburg was later indicted and accepted a plea agreement that saw additional charges of burglary and assault during the commission of a felony dismissed. At his plea hearing, Shamburg described what occurred during the crime.
He told the court that one of the co-defendants in the case knocked on the former commissioner's door and asked to use his phone. When Strauss let her in, Shamburg and another co-defendant forced their way in.
"We just pretty much kept beating him, beating him, beating on him for nothing. Somewhere along the line, the money come out of the house and I didn't see it," Shamburg said at his plea hearing.
As part of the plea agreement, prosecutors recommended that Shamburg be sentenced to 28 years in prison for his conviction on the charge of first-degree robbery. At Shamburg's sentencing hearing, Strauss read a victim impact statement describing in detail the attack. Strauss had to drive himself to the hospital after the robbery because his attackers took his cellphone.
Shamburg's appeal argued that the circuit court placed excessive emphasis on Strauss's victim impact statement and that the 40-year prison sentence was disproportionate to the nature of the offense and violated the state's constitutional prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment.
"As the circuit court pointed out, the three easily could have restrained the victim, but instead repeatedly attacked him with a Taser gun and savagely beat him ... In the end, petitioner and the others left their victim bloodied on the floor of his own home, with lasting physical and psychological impairment, taking with them his only means of calling for help," the court's opinion reads.
Greenbaum also argued that Silver failed to comply with the judicial disqualification provisions of trial court rules by not disqualifying himself from the case. A motion for disqualification was filed Jan. 13, 2012, on the grounds that Strauss was a former commissioner and that each of the local judges in the West Virginia 23rd Judicial Circuit knew him.
When Shamburg later accepted a plea agreement, he notified the court that he wished to withdraw his motion for disqualification so the court could take his plea.
"We view petitioner's withdrawal as an acknowledgment that there was an insufficient basis for the motion when filed, particularly because there is no evidence in the record of an actual conflict of the presiding circuit court judge," the court's opinion reads.

Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX ) will provide calorie information on the menu boards and in the pastry cases of all its company-operated and licensed U.S. stores beginning June 25, the company announced today.
It will be spelled out that here are 300 calories in a small caramel Frappuccino and 230 calories in a small Iced Caffe Mocha, for instance, using the standard recipe. Pastry cases will also show calorie information, in case customers want to save some calories and opt for a Morning Bun (350 calories) instead of a blueberry scone (460 calories).
Starbucks is introducing its store-level calorie counts before such information becomes mandatory as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which was signed into law in March 2010. The act gave the Food and Drug Administration the responsibility to promulgate specific guidelines for calorie labeling, but the FDA has not yet set a date when that requirement will take effect.
Starbucks has been making calorie information available to customers via printed brochures, on its website, and with its iPhone app.

Help, don't hinder, police doing jobs
November 3, 2013
DEAR EDITOR: Patrolman Michael Krafcik is not the bad guy; Walker is. Again, our police officers are doing their duty and they get crucified by certain individuals....
I give the Warren Police Force all the credit in the world. Leave them alone !

billdog i just get tired of the sidelile comments oh the mayor is not do ing this or that if you dont like how things are run then i am sorry grow a set and do something about it.

mssmith, you have to remember that the constitution only applies to DoupleDipper and WP. Everybody else has no rights and should be searched, violated, and treated as if they are criminals at the will of the police and mayor. These two have never made a comment worth reading. If ignorance is bliss, these two should be floating on air.
3 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
DoubleDipper, there are an awful lot of liberal Democrats who post here who supported Officer Krafcik after the shooting. I would not politicize this incident based on the words and actions of a few.
3 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Warrenproud failing to act that is why rollison's killer is in custody and there are now Ohio State patrols patrolling neighborhoods. You go stand up to the thugs and tell them to quit it. I would not even give you a bullet proof vest when you do it
3 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Warrenproud if you feel like you can control the thugs better then why don't you run for mayor and you can have your little buddy pardise be you saftey director. Let's see how you would stop someone from robbing and killing them? How would you bring back shops back to downtown? How would you help keep the kids of Warren safe when they are standing at the bus stops? Until you run for mayor then shut up about what kind of job he is doing. A mayor's job is not all sugar and lollipops. A good leader makes tough choices none that you ever have had to make.

We've had this conversation 2wks straight Joe with articles every single day and even twice a day. Let it go already there is nothing new to add.
WarrenProud is gonna wear his keyboard out posting the same ridiculous comment. Do you people get a special thrill out of rehashing old news ad neaseum? Thug=bad and cop=good everything else is redundant!
Or maybe to keep posting over and over makes you at home internet warriors feel like you're involved, is that it?
2 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I strongly support the Warren PD and Officer Krafcik! A strong action was called for and a strong action was taken. This is the job performance for which the PD has been trained and for which it must be congratulated!
7 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Mayor Franklin is a Fraidy Cat. Walker was a convicted thug who got what he deserved while on his way to a shoot 'em up at a bar. Officer Krafcik just happened to be the one who got in his way. My heart goes out to Officer Krafcik and his family with all the death threats floating around Warren, a mayor who is failing to act on them, and cleanup his city once and for all.
2 Agrees | 8 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I agree with you Joe. What was Krafcik to do when faced with a weapon...maybe wait for Walker to pull his trigger? I don't think so. It was a good shoot. End of story for those liberal democrats that think everybody is somehow salvageable and worth something when all they do in life is eat, breathe and poop.

Opera 15: Next Is Fast, Missing Features, Does HTML5
This ain't your daddy's Opera, but it's still a beta. The Presto engine is gone and has been replaced WebKit in Opera 15. Plus there are bunches of attractive new features, including app auto updates, enhanced Speed Dial and Stash. Yet, much is still missing.
• Opera 15 (download)
— New rendering engine based on WebKit
— New user interface
— New capabilities
— Improved site compatibility
— Silent auto updates
— Combined address and search bar
— Enhanced Speed Dial
— Stash, which records the location, meta data, and a screenshot of a page. It places this information into a collapsable list entry on the browser's Start Page, that can be searched by keyword and/or scanned visually by screenshot
— Discover, which is a recommender service is included with Opera 15. Discover displays news and topical content that can be filtered by category or location/language
— Requires OS X 10.6 or later
Stash! What a great name for an Evernote-like feature.
Opera's tab handling has never been first class and version 15 hasn't changed that, yet. For example, there aren't any keyboard shortcuts to switch tabs, which is a productivity killer.
If you can live with that, Opera 15 is really fast — pages simply snap into place on my aging 2011 iMac and Flash player seems to perform well.
That said, Opera 15 scores 433 (87%) out of 500 points on the HTML5Test, while Safari 6.0.x manages only 393, Firefox 21 comes in at 399 and Chrome 27 delivers an impressive 463 (93%).
So, give Opera 15 a try and then report back — what should Opera add to Opera 15 (it's a beta) before they ship final code?

Hennessy Gold Cup Chase Odds and Preview – Horse Racing Betting November 29
Well-treated Lodge to scale the Hennessy heights29th November 2013 / paul
Bob's Worth's victory in the Cheltenham Gold Cup in March certainly hasn't done any harm to the belief that this weekend's Hennessy Gold Cup Chase at Newbury is now more a Festival trial than an Aintree Grand National pointer. The great Denman, of course, won the race twice and proven class has become an increasing influence in the 3m2f handicap in recent years.
Lord Windermere is attempting to go down the Bob's Worth route. A general 10/1, Jim Culloty's seven-year-old won the RSA Chase at Cheltenham in the spring and is at an ideal age to mount a challenge in the Hennessy whereas the stats are against fellow Irish raider Prince De Beauchene (14/1 with Boylesports and Stan James). Veteran Imperial Commander (26/1 on betfair) may also struggle against younger rivals and who's to say if his fragile legs will survive this traditionally tough contest.
Rocky Creek has been popular in ante-post markets and is now a best 8/1. He beat recent Ascot winner Houblon Des Obeaux (33/1 on betfair) at the Berkshire course in February to complete a hat-trick. He had also had Super Duty (20/1 with Ladbrokes and Stan James) behind when third in a Grade 2 at Aintree in April and should confirm the form on 3lb worse terms. HIGHLAND LODGE was behind Paul Nicholls' chaser at Warwick in January but there are grounds for thinking Leighton Aspell's mount can have his revenge at Newbury and he looks the value at the 12/1 with Betfred, Ladbrokes and totesport.
Representing a yard that's bang in form, Emma Lavelle's charge ran a cracking race behind the fast-improving Standing Ovation at Wincanton considering he was conceding 26lb to the race-fit winner. He is 11lb better off with Rocky Creek than at Warwick and did well to stay in contention for as long as he did that day considering the amount of mistakes he made. Normally a decent jumper, Highland Lodge has the beating of Our Father (a general 10/1) on Cheltenham running last year and rates a cracking bet.
Invictus' defeat of Bob's Worth two years ago read well and the fact that he's only a general 10/1 suggests a big run is expected following a lengthy absence. Katenko (a general 14/1) came good at the start of the year but hasn't raced since January while the trip may be too far for Cloudy Too (25/1 with BetVictor and 888sport) and Theatre Guide (70/1 on betfair). But Triolo D'Alene (a general 20/1) might have each-way claims .

Assistant Professor of EnglishTel: 301-696-3725
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com: Rosenstock Hall, Room 211
Office hours: Monday and Wednesday, 1-2 p.m.
I teach American literature, poetry, and creative writing courses at Hood. Within these broad areas, my fields of specialization include nineteenth-century American literature and modern and contemporary American poetry. My first book of poems, The Spite House, won the 2010 De Novo Prize for Poetry and was published by C&R Press in 2011.
I strongly believe in Ralph Waldo Emerson's dictum, "There is then creative reading as well as creative writing." In order to be a good writer, whether of critical essays, fictional stories, or poems, one must first learn to read creatively. To that end, in my courses I emphasize both close analysis and interdisciplinary connections, such as the close ties between literature and the visual arts. I also encourage an experiential approach to the study of literature through visits to local sites of interest, live performances and readings, and poetry memorization and recitation. In my courses, students learn in a dynamic atmosphere in which the class as a whole participates in the conversation.

Leaders consider fund for future
August 6, 2013
MARTINSBURG — Eighteen legislators are heading to North Dakota later this month to learn about the state's Legacy Fund and bring back their ideas for West Virginia's potential longterm savings....
So, Leno is coming to Fox, right?

I wanna know who the rest of the delegates are. I wonder if Major will change his democrat tone if some redumblicans go. Also, why cant they not pay for the fees themselves. They are getting paid a salary from the taxpayers right? Why do we have to pay double?

They want a view without a trailer or a liquor store.

Past attempts to create such a fund have failed. BUT should it pass,AND the time is "NEARLY" right we need to send 18 people on our tax dime to ND to ask them, "Where they're investing their money and what kind of return are they getting"? Really, it takes 18 WV legislators to do that? How many of you does it take to screw in a light bulb. Balderdash! Who are the other 17?
4 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I'm laughing. We have to go to ND to get answers; where the real smart people live. HA!
3 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Doesn't WV have a rainy day fund? I'm not sure I agree with all the future funds financed by taxpayers. Don't we (WV) currently have debts that need to be paid off? I always thought it was prudent to pay off your debts first. Compound interest is a real money sucker.

18 really? Seems excessive to me.
3 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Some collaborative efforts can be completed via tele/video conference, but not every endeavor is done justice by the approach. Being in an agency that has been requiring its employees to do just about everything remotely, I speak from personal experience. 18 attendees from WV do honestly seem like a bit many though, purely my opinion though.

"It's just that one conversation as opposed to having all 18 of us in a room, or more, and then having all those folks in a room," Barrett said. "There's something to be said for a face-to-face conversation."
Correct me if I'm wrong but if 18 are going, aren't 18 going to be in a room with the other folks? The above statement doesn't make sense or maybe I'm just interpreting it wrong.
Here's a suggestion, trying saving that $18k and conduct this via video conferencing. After all, it's still face-to-face isn't it? There's no need to spend $18k just to shake hands?

(July 18, 2013) A record 460 people signed up for the 12th annual Race for Open Space to raise money for the Nantucket Conservation Land Fund Saturday. Islander Jules Embry-Pelrine separated himself from the pack of runners and walkers who embarked on the 5K road race, finishing in 17 minutes, 44 seconds, 41 seconds ahead of second- place finisher Levy Barna.
Kinsey Kornack of Boston was the first woman to cross the finish line in 19:55.

by Dean Koontz
Christopher Snow is a creature of the night. Cursed with a hereditary skin disorder called xeroderma pigmentosum, the young California writer risks potentially fatal consequences from even the briefest caress of the sun. However, it quickly becomes clear in terrormeister Dean Koontz's adrenaline-pumping new adventure that if Chris hopes to see 29, he must also shun light of another sort—the kind his curiosity might shine on a community's secrets.
For all its surf-kissed charm, Moonlight Bay does have a darker side, as Chris discovers after overhearing a local undertaker discuss plans to switch the corpse of a murdered drifter with that of Chris's dad. Upset and enraged, Chris (along with his preternaturally astute canine companion, Orson) starts to sniff around—eventually tumbling into a cesspool of conspiracy, corruption and genetic engineering projects gone horrifically awry.
With the cockiness of a man who sells some 17 million books a year, Koontz endows his breakneck chiller with several memorable chases, any of which could serve as a satisfying climax. The pace makes it easier to overlook occasionally florid passages, clichéd characters and an ultimately unconvincing premise. Quibbles aside, however, Fear Nothing demonstrates a master of darkness's continuing power to scare the daylights out of us. (Bantam, $26.95)

NMU Launches New WiMAX Network
NMU Launches New WiMAX Network
August 20, 2009/NMU
MARQUETTE, Mich.—Northern Michigan University deployed one of the largest active WiMAX networks in the country on the 10th anniversary of its campus-wide notebook computer program.
WiMAX is a fourth-generation protocol (4G) that offers broadband wireless Internet access. Compared with the more common WiFi, WiMAX is capable of transmitting data over broad areas with less interference and more efficient bandwidth use.
NMU is one of the first universities in the nation with a WiMAX network. The 3,000 Lenovo ThinkPads computers being issued to students this fall have built-in WiMAX/WiFi Intel cards. In addition to Intel and Lenovo, Motorola also participated in the WiMAX network deployment.
"Over the past few years, with WiFi hot spots, NMU covered about 10 percent of the City of Marquette. WiMAX allows us to cover nearly 100 percent" said Gavin Leach, NMU vice president for finance and administration. "This makes us one of the first university in the United States to be able to provide wireless access to nearly our entire student population. This would not have been possible without the efforts of our technology industry partners; they helped to make this fourth-generation technology a reality in our community."
"It was with great pride that Intel engineers assisted with the roll out of the WiMAX network," said Eileen Lento, government and education strategist, Intel Americas. "The town-wide connectivity unleashed will help drive educational advancement and technological innovation."
The NMU notebook computer initiative was implemented a decade ago to bridge the "digital divide" by facilitating equal access to the latest technology.
"As a leading ThinkPad University, Northern Michigan University and Lenovo have partnered for 10 years to equip students with the latest high performance ThinkPad laptops to help them excel in the classroom and prepare for live beyond school, said Tom Looney, vice president and general manager, Lenovo North America. "The new WiMAX network will allow students to connect wirelessly on campus and off using their ThinkPad laptops, which are optimized for an excellent wireless computing experience."
NMU President Les Wong added, "It is highly appropriate that we're marking the program's 10th anniversary milestone by unveiling another major technology initiative that addresses the same goal of equal access. Not only will WiMAX will help off-campus students have wireless access comparable to their on-campus peers, but the WiMAX network also extends Internet access to educational resources for students and faculty doing research and learning outside of the classroom."
At Thursday's public demonstration of the WiMAX network, Wong also thanked the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) for granting NMU the EBS license needed to create a WiMAX system, which it received in October 2008.
Students still using last year's ThinkPad model will receive a WiMAX-equipped computer next fall as part of the university's routine two-year rotation cycle. In the interim, USB WiMAX cards are available in Olson Library for temporary use or for purchase at the NMU Bookstore.
NMU's license is restricted to education or government use. The university is already in discussions with some area K-12 schools about assisting in enhancing their wireless capabilities.

CARROLLTON, Ky. – In the battle of the trenches between border rivals Carroll and Trimble counties, the Lady Panthers came out on top, winning 58-51 Friday night in their season-opener.
"We're tickled to death to get our first win," Carroll County head coach Randy Mefford said. "I saw them play last Monday when they just destroyed Gallatin County, and they're a much improved basketball team."
Millicent Arleen Creamering, review. Release bond per assignment to attorney.
Christopher Fluhr, sentencing. 45 days conditional discharged for 2 years; $250 fine, court costs merged into Case 10-M-106; grand total for both cases $471.75 due May 31.
Michael Linton, show cause for payment. Pay $50 by end of day or warrant for $130 cash, no surety will be issued.
James South, theft by unlawful taking. Continue to Dec. 14 to be enrolled in treatment.
Kentucky officially broke away from Virginia in 1792 to become the 15th state to join the Union. The first order of business was to do what the country, itself, had done just several years earlier: Write a Constitution.
It was in Danville, not Frankfort, where the state's leaders gathered to write that first foundation of our state govern-ment. Kentucky replaced that document twice in the next 90 years. In 1891, the current and fourth Consititution was approved by voters.
So, from mid-August to the end of November, it was like living in Southern California – sunny and unseasonably warm weather, with so little rain we had a severe drought.
Now, just barely into December, we've had our first major snowstorm of the winter on Saturday and plunging temperatures with wind-chill factors taking them into single digits – and possibly below zero by the time this issue goes to press.
It's pretty amazing, I think.
Wednesday, Dec. 15
The Trimble County Board of Education meets at 7 p.m. at the board office on Wentworth Drive, Bedford.
Thursday, Dec. 16
Help decorate a gingerbread house, Christmas trees, sleds and more at Trimble County Public Library's Winter Wonderland from 4-5 p.m. Children in kindergarten through fifth grade are invited. Door prizes provided by All Ways Pottery, the Madison Imagination Station and the library.
CARROLLTON, Ky. – It was a hard-fought nail-biter of a contest on Thursday, Dec. 2, typical of most high school basketball games between the Trimble County Raiders and the Carroll County Panthers, long-time border rivals.
It was Carroll's home opener after defeating Williamstown on the road earlier in the week, and the season opener for the Raiders, who will play six more road games before their Dec. 17 home opener against Oldham County.
CARROLL COUNTY, Ky. – A $2,500 reward has been offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the individual or individuals responsible for a second theft of copper wiring from the Nugent Sand Co.
The most recent theft at Nugent, located on State Hwy. 36 West in Carroll County, apparently occurred over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

Not only is there a culture of volunteering in China, there is a long and proud history of it. It is just different than the one that we celebrate in the West. For many westerners in China (I speak from an American perspective), it takes a while for us to understand that what we see on the streets is not the only side of China's humanity, and that within the community there are networks that support those in the community who are in need.
In the West, volunteering is a part of our culture, and it is something that as Americans we are very proud of. Where there are people in need, there are hundreds of programs like Habitat 4 Humanity, the American Red Cross, or Meals On Wheels that are easily identifiable and accessible for people to get involved in.
In China though, this infrastructure is in a very different state. Many NGOs in China are still in a fragmented and immature state. A public culture has yet to develop whereby volunteers are aware of opportunities, and there is little media coverage of volunteering within cities. However, that does not mean that there is not a spirit of volunteering, nor does it mean that a Western-defined style of volunteerism is not possible.
It is quite the opposite. In China, the sense of family and community are still very strong, and while not always adequate, there is a basic support infrastructure in place that identifies those in need and will do its best to address those needs. The strongest support structure is still the family, with local neighborhoods and companies also providing some measure of support, however as China changes this will inevitably change as well.
As the changes occur, Western style volunteer programs will become something that China will need to incorporate. Already, in Shanghai and Beijing, volunteer programs are forming (students for largest majority of volunteers), and this is a trend that will continue.
Currently three main forces for change that are introducing the idea of volunteerism in China:
Returning ChineseThe influence of returning Chinese (Chinese whom were born in China, but moved abroad for work or study, and then returned to China) is very strong. It is something that many multinationals are attracted to when not only hiring staff, but also when targeting marketing campaigns. Many trends–be they clothing, food, cars–have all changed as returning Chinese define new concepts.
In the case of volunteering, it is no different. For many friends in Shanghai, volunteering was something they were exposed to abroad, and when they return they seek out opportunities to continue volunteering. As their friends, colleagues, and family are exposed to this, mindsets begin to change.
Multinational companiesMany multinationals firms like G.E., U.P.S., Home Depot, and BP have long histories of philanthropy and cultures of giving back to the community through employee service. In recent years, as many of these companies have stabilized, they have begun implementing service programs in which their employees can take part.
Through our corporate programs, I have found that when one employee identifies an opportunity, they will influence others, and programs that were once small have the potential to grow very rapidly.
Development of NGOsAs NGOs in China have begun to grow, and advertise, issues have been brought to the forefront. Topics like migrant children, elderly care, and AIDS, and opportunities to get involved, have all become mainstream topics, and it is due in large part to the strengthening of NGOs.
In China, the culture of volunteering has been inhibited by a number of things, two of the greatest being a lack of issue awareness and a lack of opportunities for ordinary citizens and corporations to get involved. However, with the three forces above coming together, things are beginning to change, and it could not come any sooner as China begins to come to grips with a new social fabric.
In addition to the above, one of the most important forces has been the support by various government representatives at the national, provincial, and local levels who have made a real effort to identify and address many of the underlying social issues in China. Were it not for this, much of the work by local and international NGOs would not be possible, and with their support the public awareness of issues like HIV, elderly care, and the environment have all increased.
As China begins to mature economically, there will be a greater need to identify, understand and address many different social issues. As this occurs, the spirit of volunteering that one feels in the immediate families and communities will need to expand outside of its traditional walls. The process has begun, and like everything in China, the future development of this issue is going to be very interesting.
Richard Brubaker, as the managing Director of China Strategic Development Partners, assists foreign companies develop and implement their China based market entry and sourcing strategies, including CSR strategies. In addition to his responsibilities at China SDP, Rich founded the charitable organization Hands on Shanghai to promote volunteerism among young professionals in the Shanghai community.

Beetle taxis are being retired
Mexico City announced Friday that the last of the iconic Volkswagen Beetle taxis will be withdrawn from service by the end of 2012. Victor Ramirez, the director of taxi services for the transport department, said about 3,500 of the two-door cars nicknamed "bugs" are on the streets. For safety reasons, the city started mandating four-door taxis in 2003. The two-door VW model hasn't been made since 2003, when the last one rolled off an assembly line in the Mexican state of Puebla.
Wolf's California vacation is done
Oregon's wandering wolf, OR-7, has crossed the border back into his home state after spending the last couple of months in Northern California. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife said Friday that the latest GPS tracking collar data put him in Klamath County on Thursday and in Jackson County at midnight. OR-7 was the first known wolf in California in 87 years.
Poachers exact a toll on elephants
Cameroon announced a military offensive to flush out elephant poachers from a remote national park in the country's northeast. In just eight weeks, the World Wildlife Fund estimates that poachers believed to be from Sudan have decimated the elephant population, killing between 200 and 300 of the roughly 400 elephants in the Bouba N'Djida National Park.
