Most of the birds to have been affected have been guillemots
Image: RSPCA
Seabirds covered in a mystery substance are still being washed up on the shores of southern England.
A map, available on the RSPB's Safeguard our Sealife blog, shows approximate locations of birds found affected by the sticky mineral oil, with the hotspot in Dorset.
Only locations are shown; there is no attempt to show numbers of birds reported from the various locations, but it demonstrates the wide spread of shore locations of affected birds.
The birds have mostly been guillemots (around 90 per cent), but other species, including razorbills, have also been reported.
The RSPCA at West Hatch reported that they have now received a total of 301 live casualties:
Of these, 39 could not be saved, the remainder are still in care. Efforts are concentrated on rescuing live birds, but the RSPCA has also collected approximately 40 dead birds, and sighted an estimated 85-90 that were inaccessible.
The RSPCA has also told us that it has received a report of a gannet and razorbill taken to a wildlife centre in Ostend, Belgium, with a similar substance on them.
We continue to work with other wildlife organisations to assess the situation and RSPB staff and volunteers have been making spot checks around the south-west coastline. The information gathered is helping us to assess the scale of any impacts.
Some rescued guillemots are in breeding plumage, which suggests they are birds which breed in the south-west. Others are in winter plumage, meaning they are from further north, probably Scotland and Norway.
We are continuing to work with the authorities and other organisations to understand the situation better, and how to best help the affected birds. Anyone finding an affected bird should not try to catch it, but contact the RSPCA on 0300 1234 999.
The scale, impact and source of this event remains unknown at present, but it serves as a good reminder that we need an ecologically sound network of Marine Protected Areas to help our marine wildlife be resilient to such disasters.
Alec Taylor, the RSPB's Marine Policy Officer, said: 'This incident starkly illustrates the threats that our seabirds face and the need for a robust and well connected network of Marine Protected Areas around our coasts and seas.
'If we are able to protect our seabirds and other marine wildlife in a more strategic and 'joined-up' way then they will be better able as a whole to deal with and bounce back from single incidents like this.'
Lyme Bay near Weymouth, Dorset, is internationally important for seabirds. Currently we know the area is being used by 25,000 guillemots, although we don't know how many will be affected by this disaster.
The area is also used by rare seabirds, include scoters, divers and grebes. Impacts on these species could have higher conservation significance.
The original source of the contaminant remains unknown.
Current proposals to create marine protected areas in the waters of each country offer almost no protection for seabirds. With the support of people like you, we can continue to fight for better protection for our seas.

text: Tuesdays With Stoosh: 3.22 Posted by Stoosh on Mar 22, 2011 20:37 ShareTweet Probably safe to assume that just about every mainstream hockey media outlet and blogger will be offering their opinions and thoughts (dudes) on The Cooke Suspension. So why should I be any different, eh? We're all sociopaths anyway. And least I can use swear words. So let's get this out of the way first – some thoughts on Matt Cooke, the suspension and the responses. The suspension is a tough spot for Pens fans. Every player has their detractors within their own fanbase (as Geno & Fleury say, "Yeah, no shit.") and Cooke certainly had his. Cooke isn't an irreplaceable part like Crosby or Malkin, but he's not exactly a spare part, either. His absence won't cripple the team, but it doesn't exactly help, either. That said, Pens fans were damn near unanimous in support of Cooke's suspension. The tradeoff with a guy like Matt Cooke tends to be the stupid penalties, usually taken at the worst of times. And the occasional headshots, which make us cringe. And this year, it's seemed to happen far too often, especially with the spotlight trained on the hits to the head. So in light of all circumstances – especially those surrounding the captain of the team – it was getting tougher to watch. At some point, the promises to change weren't coming to fruition. At some point, the impact on the rest of the team through these struggles to win games was just too negative. Support eroded, and it happened at every level after Sunday – fans, teammates, management and ownership. Contrary to what some of the comments at Puck Daddy and the *ahem* "writers" at Bleacher Report may lead you to believe, Pens fans never took any satisfaction in any of Cooke's hits. No one was honestly happy to see Savard knocked stupid. When Cooke boarded Tyutin, no one was happy about it. And that's why so many were in support of this suspension. At some point, it's on Cooke and it has to change. And he will. Or he'll really enjoy Edmonton. Here's what's NOT going to happen. Matt Cooke will not be cut. Matt Cooke will not be bought out. Not while the 2010-11 season is going on. That may all change this summer, but it won't change until then. First of all, if the Pens buy out his deal, he's a free agent. And all the people that want Shero and Lemieux to cut bait with Cooke in the name of "credibility" will be really thrilled when he lines up opposite the Pens six separate times next year in a Rangers or Flyers sweater. THAT'S precisely why they won't buy him out. That said, it very well may be that Matt Cooke has played his last game in a Penguins uniform. That's for Shero and the rest of management to decide, but that won't be handled until this summer. If the Pens decide the benefits of having Matt Cooke on the roster no longer outweigh the costs, he'll be traded. Cooke has two years remaining on his deal AND he has a modified no-trade clause, but that can be worked out. As opposed to buying him out and letting him go where he wants, a trade allows them to exert at least some degree of control over where he goes. So if this is how Shero decides to proceed, you can damn well bet that Shero doesn't put one Eastern Conference team on his target list. And there would be takers. Todd Bertuzzi got another chance. Steve Downie got another chance. Ben Eager got another chance. If Steve Ott was dumped by Dallas tomorrow, he'd be on another roster within 24 hours. As Mark Madden pointed out on his show on Monday, even Sean Avery got multiple chances in the NHL, and Avery managed to get himself traded out of three separate organizations because he's a dick and most of his teammates couldn't stand him. And until the league officially issues a ban on headshots, there will be at least one general manager out there who will take a chance on someone like Cooke. One of the most interesting subplots of this suspension is this – how is the league going to handle the next shot to the head? The NHL has painted itself into a corner here, and that's a good thing. Bettman and Colin Campbell look uncomfortable in their own skin to begin with. People have been clamoring for the league to establish a standard on these hits, and this suspension sets that bar pretty high. But what happens next time? Because there will still be a "next time", and it'll happen this year…perhaps as early as tonight's games. Matt Cooke is an easy person to make an example of because he earned his reputation. Trevor Gillies would've been an easier example because he earned his reputation and he looks like Clu Haywood. But what if the next shot to the head is delivered by Mike Richards? Pierre's little girl has never been suspended for a head shot, but he has a history with a hit that was every bit as severe as Cooke's hit on Savard (interesting that the headshot discussion always seems to start with Cooke-Savard and never seems to circle back to Richards-Booth). Richards is also adored by the national broadcasters for every perceived intangible under the sun, and there's nothing that seems to go further in perception of hockey players among the media than the guy who does "all the little things". So does Richards's status as a top-line center and leadership personified absolve him of a lesser sentence if he flattens someone on the Caps tonight with an elbow to the head? What if it's Pronger? Unlike Richards, Pronger HAS a history. He's been suspended on eight separate occasions. He's a guy who is considered by many to be one of the dirtiest players in the league. Objectively, he's a player whose history and reputation is at least as questionable as Cooke's, if not more. But like Richards, Pronger's antics that would be considered dirty if conducted by 98% of the rest of the league are often dismissed almost admiringly by the broadcasters as rugged play or gamesmanship. And what if it's Ovechkin? He's the biggest name in the game outside of Crosby. He's got a history. He's been suspended for reckless hits. What if he does to someone before the end of the year what he did to Brian Campbell, Jamie Heward or Patrick Kaleta? Remember him being admonished by the refs in 24/7 during the Winter Classic for leaving his feet to hit someone on the boards? What if he does it again, misses and staples someone's head to the glass? The NHL set a bar with this. Will they suspend a repeat offender with prior suspensions for dirty hits along the same lines as Cooke? Don't hold your breath. Want to see how easy it is to ignore the double-standards? There's the face of your franchise and one of the most celebrated players in NHL history, Rangers fans. Like I said, don't hold your breath. What was most irritating about this whole mess was the misplaced anger at Lemieux and Shero. Somehow this notion cropped up that unless Lemieux and Shero went above what the NHL did to Cooke and implemented their own team-imposed discipline, they were hypocrites in this head shot debate. Some called for an additional team-imposed suspension on top of what the NHL gave Cooke. Some called for cutting Cooke from the team outright. There may be an argument there, but is it really on Lemieux and Shero to go above & beyond when this is a league-wide issue? Here's my point. Ray Shero & Mario Lemieux have both made very clear over the last few weeks their viewpoint on this headshot issue this season. http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/11076/1132572-61.stm During the GM's meetings last week, Ray Shero was among the minority of general managers who supported a ban on all shots to the head. He re-iterated that in his statement after Cooke's suspension was handed down. He acknowledged several times the team's awareness that proposing any sort of all-out ban on hits to the head works against certain players on his own team, and has yet continued to move in support of this. Lemieux sent a letter to Gary Bettman outlining in substantial detail a proposal that levies both suspensions to the player and fines to the player's club for shots to the head. To add further teeth to the proposal, he stated at the end of the letter that his own team would've been subjected to $600,000 worth of fines had it been in effect. So it was at the general managers' meetings, the NHL had a chance to make a more sweeping statement. Even better, it had the general manager and owner of the team that employs one of the posterboys of this issue offer suggestions and proposals for such changes. EVEN BETTER, it had said GM and owner publicly state their awareness of the impact that such changes could have to their roster and their organization in the form of suspensions and fines. Wasn't that enough? Shero and Lemieux stepped forward with actual solutions, also acknowledging that said solutions force changes within current players on their roster that could decrease their overall effectiveness on the team. Isn't this more credible than the GM who sat back and said nothing, satisfied with the status quo and knowing full well there were players within his own organization capable of doing the same things Cooke does? As has become par for the course, the league as a whole failed miserably to take action on these proposals. And yet most of the vitriol and all of the conditions of this artificially-noble cause have been heaped on…Lemieux? And for what? To appease the people – mostly media types – who slapped some sort of "higher noble cause" on this? OK… So when do we then turn our attention towards Steve Yzerman for employing Steve Downie? When does Joe Nieuwendyk get called on the carpet for making sure Steve Ott gets a shot at ice time every night? Is Ted Leonsis now a hypocrite for continuing to employ a player who leaves his feet when he throws a check into the boards and has a history of hitting players from behind? See how slippery that slope gets? Or maybe we should just be happy with what happened. Cooke is suspended, probably for the year. The witch-king is dead. Shero – no doubt speaking on Lemieux's behalf as well – issued a very candid and very direct response in support of the suspension, again restating the team's desire to eliminate these hits from the game. Everyone can read between the lines. If Matt Cooke wants to remain a Penguin, he changes his game. It's that simple. The Pens have done all they need to do for right now. If you're upset at anyone, be more upset at the general managers of those teams that saw fit to change nothing. Excellent read here from Zach Boslett over at Faceoff Factor on James Neal's Penguins tenure thus far. http://www.faceoff-factor.com/1pittsburgh-penguins/4098/whats-the-deal-with-neal And enough of the Ponikarovsky comparisons. Since he arrived in Pittsburgh, Neal has been all over the ice and has been one of the Pens best forwards night in and night out in terms of creating scoring chances. After a solid first few games, Ponikarovsky reverted back to what he was – a player who seemed content to play like nothing was expected of him. He seemed happy to carry the puck down the boards and drop it weakly into the middle when challenged. He had to be dragged kicking and screaming to the front of the net. He failed here because he played his way out of the lineup. He was really that bad. Neal has been producing chances and generating offense; he's just not capitalizing. That's not a bust; that's a player who's snake-bitten and just isn't getting the puck behind the goaltender. As easy as it sometimes is on NHL '11 to make one of these deals and see instant results, it doesn't happen that way in real life. Chemistry and timing with new teammates takes time to develop. This may have been mentioned before, but when Hossa arrived in Pittsburgh, he played 12 regular season games and scored just 3 goals. It wasn't actually until the Rangers series in the second round that he clicked with Crosby and went off. It takes time, and that's with a player who was much more geared towards creating offense on his own, playing alongside an elite center. Neal needs to start converting some of these chances. That's fair criticism of his game. The Ponikarovsky comparisons are crazy, though. Don't force us to create one of those "Is James Neal Going to be OK?" pages.

Swim club coach resigns amid inappropriate conduct allegations
Coach at North Baltimore Aquatic Club not identified
Published 9:10 AM EDT Oct 08, 2012
A veteran coach at the North Baltimore Aquatic Club has resigned after an allegation of inappropriate conduct with a female athlete more than 30 years ago recently cropped up.
According to The Baltimore Sun, the club reported the unidentified coach to Baltimore County and swimming authorities after it became aware of the allegation last year.
The alleged incident happened in 1975, the Sun said; however, no other details were made available.
It's unclear whether any charges have been filed.
The North Baltimore Aquatic Club is where Olympic superstar Michael Phelps trained throughout the years.

Gatorade get their teeth into action sports
Length of contract: 5 years | Annualised value:US$100,000 | Overall value: US$500,000
Gatorade has increased its sports sponsorship activity by agreeing deals with three teenagers, including 14-year-old star skateboarder, Chaz Ortiz.
17-year-old snowboarder Ellery Hollingsworth and BMX star Nigel Sylvester, 18, will also feature in a range of adverts for the drinks brand.
Ortiz, who will be 'the cornerstone' of Gatorade's action sports campaign, will feature alongside other established athletes, including Derek Jeter and Peyton Manning.
"We're not ready to talk about the depth and breadth of what we're doing, but we're going to be invested in the sport and a bit more visible across a number of platforms," said Keith Urban, Gatorade's vice president of sports marketing said.
"As a leader, we want action sports athletes to see themselves in our brand. It's an important part of our expansion."
Each of the deals is worth a six-figure sum to the youngsters, though Ortiz will be by far the most well remunerated.

WYOMING — The American Civil Liberties Union will represent Wyoming attorney John Ter Beek in his lawsuit against the city, which claims Wyoming's recent decision to ban medical marijuana violates state law.
"To have the ACLU on the same team as me is great," Ter Beek, a medical marijuana patient and a former Godfrey-Lee school board member, said from his North Wyoming home on Thursday. "I'm very glad for that."
Ter Beek contends the city's decision last month also goes against the will of state voters who approved medical marijuana at the polls in 2008.
The initiative was passed by 63 percent of voters state-wide and by 59 percent of voters in the city of Wyoming.
City Council members say the fact the ACLU has joined the case changes nothing — they still plan to fight to keep marijuana growers out of Wyoming.
"You're allowing this drug to be grown, dispensed and sold by people that, in most cases, really have no business growing it, dispensing it and selling it," Dan Burrill said. "It would tax our public safety (departments) at a time when they can't afford to be taxed."
Council members initiated the ban, saying marijuana can be distributed safely by pharmacists, not by licensed marijuana caregivers as Michigan law allows.
"It would be pretty hard for the police to enforce the law," said longtime council member Bill VerHulst adding police would be hard pressed to decide who was growing pot as medicine or to sell illicitly.
City Attorney Jack Sluiter said the case is a question of law and will be determined by a judge — in this case, Kent County Circuit Judge Dennis Leiber.
But Sluiter believes Circuit Court will only be the first hurdle. He says it is likely that cases statewide will be combined and go before the Michigan Court of Appeals and perhaps the state Supreme Court.
Grand Rapids attorney Michael Nelson, who is acting as cooperating attorney for the ACLU of Michigan, said he is hopeful for a favorable decision in Kent County.
"The law is pretty clear in that state law supersedes local ordinances," said Nelson.
In its ordinance, Wyoming states that acts that violate federal law are prohibited by the local law. The federal government still bans marijuana growth, cultivation and use.
However, a dozen other states allow medical marijuana and are not compelled to enforce federal laws.
"It's disappointing that elected officials in the City of Wyoming are so quick to ignore the will of the people who overwhelmingly voted for compassionate care for patients like John whose pain is eased by the use of medical marijuana," Nelson said. "Our goal is to uphold the rights of patients and caregivers who have done nothing wrong, but are treated like criminals by local officials."
The ACLU has sued Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills and Livonia for approving laws that ban medical marijuana, arguing their ordinances "cannot flout state law."
Wyoming has 21 days to respond to the amended lawsuit.

AccuWeather reports a foot of heavy wet, back-breaking snow will plaster areas north and west of I-95 Saturday, causing massive power outages, downed trees and travel nightmares.
The storm will hit hard and fast, traveling from southwest to northeast over the mid-Atlantic and New England in less than 24 hours.
The heaviest snow from the storm will stretch from along the Virginia/West Virginia border through a large swath of central and eastern Pennsylvania to southeastern New York state, northwestern New Jersey, northern Connecticut, central and western Massachusetts to southern New Hampshire and southwestern Maine.
Cities that are likely to receive the heaviest snowfall include: Hartford, Conn., Frederick, Md., Worcester, Mass., Nashua, N.H., Netcong, Newburgh, N.Y., Scranton, Pa., Winchester, Va., and Martinsburg, W.Va.
In these areas and others over the interior Northeast, the snow will come down hard enough to accumulate on the roads making for slippery driving. The worst conditions will be in the hilly areas and the mountains, where slightly lower temperatures are in store.
Thousands of trees could come down, and over a million people could be without power. Some rural roads could be blocked for days by fallen trees. Driving or walking through wooded areas during and immediately following the storm could be dangerous.
Thunderstorms could accompany the snow, adding to the drama.
While the heaviest accumulation will miss the I-95 cities from Washington, D.C., and Baltimore to Philadelphia, New York, Providence and Boston, some wet snow will fall on the heart of the downtown areas and can cover rooftops, trees and grassy areas. Streets in the downtown areas of these cities will be mainly wet.
Because of the intensity of the rain and snow, with increasing winds, expect flight delays and cancellations in the Northeast and ripple-effect delays elsewhere throughout the nation.
The storm will bring a period of heavy rain and the potential of urban flooding along the coast of the mid-Atlantic and the immediate southern and eastern coasts of New England.
Snowfall during October is not uncommon in the Northeast in general, but when it does occur it typically only falls on a very narrow swath, high elevations or a relatively small patch of land.
According to Expert Senior Meteorologist Henry Margusity, "During this storm, the extent of places that may receive 6 to 12 inches is unprecedented."
Unlike many storms which tend to underachieve, this one will overachieve and is likely to be a record-breaker.
This storm will catch many people off guard because of its intensity and fast-hitting nature.
The forward speed of Saturday's storm is in contrast to another storm that hit the Northeast in the days surrounding Halloween in 1991.

Inside the Home of Designer Ashley Ann of Myne
We are huge fans of Myne at Spindle & Canister, from her silk dresses to breezy blouses, designer Ashley Ann has a great eye when it comes to prints and design. Apartment Therapy recently did an interview with Ashley Ann in her Los Angeles home. Read below about what inspires her and what are her favorite elements in her home.
Name: Ashley Ann – designer/owner of the clothing brand MYNE
Location: Hollywood Knolls – Los Angeles, California
Size: 1500 square feet
Years lived in: 7 years; bought it 2 years ago
My Style: My style is modern eclectic with a vintage twist. I love the simple lines of modern furniture but, for me it can feel very empty or stark. Adding vintage pieces mixed with Moroccan rugs and pillows really warms up a space and gives it more personality. Prints are a major part of my collection, MYNE, so I love incorporating them in my home décor.
Inspiration: My Dad has been in the furniture business all of my life and furnished our home. He has an amazing eye and taste. The inspiration for my house came from the home I was born in in Sausalito. I just added a few more streamlined/modern pieces to make it more contemporary.
Favorite Element: A favorite element of my house is the backyard/pool area. I love to entertain and have friends and family over. I've thrown some serious barbecues and parties in the backyard. It's also a great space where I can come home, decompress and recharge.
Biggest Challenge: I think the biggest challenge for me is taking my time. In running my own clothing company, I'm used to deadlines of when collections need to be completed and when orders need to be shipped. In designing and furnishing a home, I've had to learn that it takes time and patience. Finding the right piece for your house cannot be rushed, and the satisfaction of finally finding it is priceless.
What Friends Say: My home has become such a hangout spot for my friends and I love that. My friend Elizabeth calls my house her " happy place." They say that the house has a great energy — being in the hills and surrounded by trees makes it a very tranquil place.

Environmental Benefits
Chemours believes HFO-1234yf will make an important contribution to a reduced environmental footprint for automobiles. If adopted in all new cars sold in the EU, North America and Japan, every year those cars would have reduced emissions equivalent to using 2.3-4.9 billion fewer liters of fuel or driving 24-52 billion fewer kilometers. (This is equivalent to using 600 million to 1.3 billion fewer gallons of fuel or driving 15-32 billion fewer miles.)
When comparing HFO-1234yf and CO2 as an automotive refrigerant, HFO-1234yf has very distinct benefits with regard to fuel efficiency and overall sustainability. CO2 would require a much larger, heavier air conditioning system than what is used in most cars today, which is contrary to the trend toward smaller, more fuel-efficient, sustainable cars. Lifecycle climate performance evaluations have also concluded that CO2 is not as efficient as HFO-1234yf in warmer climates, and would therefore contribute considerably more overall to total greenhouse gas emissions, and even more so as the projected vehicle sales volume in warmer, developing countries such as India and China continues to increase.

CBN Staff | 5/15/13
A couple of quick notes:
– With North Carolina dropping two of three at Georgia Tech this past weekend, The Tar Heels lose their top seed with Vanderbilt re-assuming the spot. It's pretty safe to assume that the SEC and ACC champions have the top two seeds on lock. Vanderbilt captured the title last week, so they can probably get swept by Alabama (not going to happen) this weekend and go 2-and-out in the SEC tournament and still be a top two seed. For North Carolina, it gets a little more tricky with Virginia coming to Chapel Hill this weekend. The winner of that series will capture the ACC crown. Of course, there is not much difference between 1-8, but you have to tout the hype when it's there, even if it's kind of fake.
– Florida St. makes a jump this week to the number-5 seed after a big series win over North Carolina St. However, The Wolfpack are still in safe hosting territory with an RPI at 9.
– Miami was a tough pick once again this week and ended up being one of the last in, begrudgingly. The 'Canes are only 12-15 ACC play this season with their signature series win coming against Clemson (a solid team mind you, but not enough to hang your resume hat on). However, they have a strong RPI (17) and these projections are based on, for the most part, what we think the committee will do. It's also why, although Arkansas has a better conference record and head-to-head advantage over Mississippi St., the thought is the committee will simply look at MSU's RPI (10) and compare it Arkansas' (44) and give the nod to The Bulldogs. Hopefully, the selection committee delves a bit deeper, but they will always leave you guessing. To be fair, Arkansas could have done themselves a favor and not have the majority of their schedule consisting of teams with RPI in the triple digits.
And now this:
|LAST FIVE IN: Florida Gulf Coast, San Francisco, Florida Atlantic, Miami, Austin Peay St.
FIRST FIVE OUT: William and Mary, Auburn, San Diego, UNLV, Houston
– By conference, the projected field of 64 breaks down like this (* denotes projected conference champion):
America East: Maine*
Atlantic 10: Charlotte*
ACC: North Carolina*, Virginia, Florida St., North Carolina St., Clemson, Georgia Tech, Miami, Virginia Tech
Atlantic Sun: Mercer*, North Florida, Florida Gulf Coast
Big Ten: Indiana*, Ohio St.
Big 12: Kansas St.*, Oklahoma, Oklahoma
Big East: Pittsburgh*, Louisville, South Florida, Seton Hall
Big South: Campbell*, Coastal Carolina
Big West: Cal St. Fullerton*, Cal Poly, UC-Irvine
Colonial: UNC-Wilmington*
C-USA: Southern Miss*, Rice
Horizon: Wisconsin-Milwaukee*
Ivy League: Columbia*
Metro Atlantic: Rider*
Mid-American: Buffalo*
MEAC: Delaware St.*
Missouri Valley: Wichita St.*
Mountain West: New Mexico*
Northeast: Bryant*
Ohio Valley: Tennessee Tech*, Austin Peay St.
Pac 12: Oregon St.*, Oregon, UCLA, Arizona St.
Patriot: Holy Cross*
SEC: Vanderbilt*, LSU, South Carolina, Mississippi St., Arkansas, Florida, Ole Miss, Alabama
Southern: Western Carolina*
Southland: Sam Houston St.*

Jack is so stupid, calls everyone "racist", word racist comes from word "race", islam is not a race, it's a religion, there is something wrong with idiots who say bullshit without thinking to whitewash islam, soemmething wrong with their brains, say no to idiots who say bullshit...
P.S. what is so racist to point out the bad things commited by muslims? Would you call a "racist" for someone who tries to insult Christianity? No! It means you are another hypocrite whose words about equal treatment of everyone is bullshit (because when Christians get backlash, no "antiracist" guy comes to protect'em from anti-Christian hatred, but when muslims do, you are so eager to justify them). Ofc, only Christianity can be bad and racist, Islam cannot be... I dunno, but seems like that modern word "tolerance" means not "equality", it rather means "hypocrisy of pointing out at some group of people, ingoring others"

Product DescriptionComparing favorably with custom-made firearms, the innovative 77/22 has established itself as the perfect rifle for small game hunters, ranchers, and long-range informal plinkers. The 77/22 has a solid, heat-treated alloy and stainless steel action that features a rugged, high-hand turning bolt with 90-degree bolt lift and ultra-fast lock time for added accuracy. The 77/22's patented detachable rotary magazine features a unique rotor to separate cartridges and provide reliable feeding and mounts flush with the stock to eliminate protrusions at the rifle's balance point. Its three-position safety is easily accessible and allows the shooter to lock the bolt to load and unload the rifle with the safety engaged. This rifle features a fixed front sight, a folding leaf rear sight, aftermarket scope rings, and 3-position safety. Its wood, metal, and bore is all in good condition.

It was Saturday, March 23, 1963 - 50 years ago today.
Rothrock High School was challenging defending champion Jim Thorpe for the Class C state title. It was a tie, and the Eagles had possession in the final seconds. Then they didn't. Then they did - but time was about to expire.
No one could have fathomed the final shot by Jim Allgyer. The ball was inbounded to Ron Freed, who passed the ball to Allgyer and set up a screen.
Article Video
"It was the perfect setup," George Piper recalls. "Freed was the perfect assist guy, and Allgyer was our best shooter."
Allgyer heaved up a 40-foot desperation shot that found nothing but net.
"I knew the clock was running out," Allgyer says. "It was just a fortunate thing that it went in."

This special commemorative edition is included in today's edition of The Sentinel.
Pandemonium followed as 500-plus Rothrock fans rushed the floor to celebrate.
The next day Mifflin County rolled out the red carpet for its state champions.

Nap Time Is a Daily Battle I Can't Seem to WinDevan McGuinness
You know that sage advice to "sleep when the baby sleeps" in order to keep your sanity as a new parent? Well, what happens when your baby won't sleep? Like, not even a nap during the day?
My older kids were never really "good sleepers," whatever that means, and so when Silver was born I didn't anticipate he would be a baby who slept a lot either. What I didn't take into consideration though was how different this time around was going to be when it came to my sleep and feeling rested.
Back in the day when my now older kids were younger, I had the luxury to sleep when they slept. And they actually did take naps during the day, despite their hatred for sleeping soundly during the night. I had built-in time for about one to two hours in the afternoon to either catch up on house things and/or take a nap myself. I had all three kids on the same sleep schedule and really used that time to recharge.
I don't get that built-in time with my fourth child. Things are different with new responsibilities and routines, and to top that all off, Silver does not like to or — better yet — can't seem to nap during the day. This lack of sleep I chalk up to the older three kids being around all the time (we're homeschooling) and all the noise that's around. He doesn't like to sleep in my room by himself and I don't have the time or muscles to hold him for the whole time he should be napping. He will sleep for about 10 minutes at a time before he's woken up by something or nothing, and then we're back to being awake for what feels like forever. I no longer have that recharge time nor do I have time to complete even part of my massive to-do list.
And it's taking a bit of a toll on my sanity.
Do you have any tips on how to help carve out some time for Silver to get some daytime naps in? I'd love any and all of your advice!

PARK CITY, Utah — Angeli VanLaanen took a three-year hiatus from the ski halfpipe while she battled Lyme disease. Her impressive comeback now includes a spot on the U.S. Olympic team.
She hopes a medal in Sochi will complete the journey.
"Oh, I'm on top of the world right now. (I) just went out, skied my best, it felt amazing to land my run, and it's a dream come true to be on the team going to Sochi," said VanLaanen, who won the ski halfpipe Saturday at the U.S. Grand Prix, the final Olympic qualifying event.
The podium finish earned her one of the Olympic team berths that were up for grabs in ski halfpipe and slopestyle during the two-day competition in Park City.
Nick Goepper had his slopestyle spot sewn up before the final qualifiers and Bobby Brown clinched his place on the team on Friday with a second place finish. Gus Kenworthy is looking to participate in Sochi in both events, the slopestyle is a given and there is still an outside chance he can be selected for the halfpipe as a discretionary selection.
Kenworthy believes the toughest battle has already been fought.
"There are so many guys who are so talented in both slopestyle and halfpipe from the U.S. that to earn a spot here, you're competing against all of the best," he said. "In Russia you're only competing against three other guys from the U.S. because we can only send four."
While Kenworthy awaits his fate in the halfpipe, Lyman Currier, Aaron Blunck, and David Wise all qualified for the event. Saturday's qualifier was heated down to the final run.
"It's crazy nerve-racking. I mean, it was between like twenty points between fifth, fourth, and third. It was insane," said Currier, who was still in shock over finishing first.
Like Kenworthy, Devin Logan is awaiting word whether or not she will compete in both events after already qualifying for Sochi on Friday in slopestyle.
"It would mean everything to me. I've been working all my life for halfpipe and slopestyle and getting to (compete in both) would be amazing, so—cross my fingers, (today's result) definitely helps, so we'll see what the points come out to be," Logan said.
Only one other woman, Keri Herman, has a spot on the slopestyle team. Another discretionary selection could be added next week.
"It was great coming out here and skiing with the best girls around the world. I ended up in second and I'm stoked, I made it on the Olympic team officially," said Herman.
Maddie Bowman, Brita Sigourney, and VanLaanen, will all represent the United States in the halfpipe. The event was filled with little drama on Saturday as Bowman and Sigourney already had claimed two spots.
"It was nice being in the start gate thinking, 'Well, in a few weeks I'm going to be here, but in Russia,' so I definitely tried to put that in my head so that maybe I'll be a little more prepared when I get to Sochi," Sigourney said.
VanLaanen stole the spotlight.
"It means the world to me to be a part of this inaugural team going to Sochi for the first Olympics that we're included in. So many people have put so much into making this sport get to this level where we're included. So, it's an honor," she said.
Sochi will be the first time that either event has been included in the Olympics.

Notre Dame's 2011 freshman class was forced into early duty this season. As the calendar turns to 2012, five standouts from that class will develop into leaders for the Irish.
Brian Kelly brought in a top recruiting class heading into this season. On paper, the Irish were lauded for a deep class stocked with the type of athletes that hadn't been heading to South Bend in recent years.
Fortunately for Notre Dame, the story on the field played out just as the paper predicted. The Irish freshmen stepped in and stepped up, filling important roles and gaining valuable experience. As those youngsters mature, Notre Dame fans can expect more of the same.

To the Editor.—
The article entitled "The Value of Mammography Screening in Women Under Age 50 Years"1 concludes that breast cancer screening for women younger than age 50 years has a sufficiently low yield of identified cases of breast cancer and that women should check first with their physicians to determine if the benefits outweigh the cost in their particular case.Since the time the article was submitted to JAMA, the National Cancer Institute recommendations that were quoted in the article have changed. On Sept 30, 1987, the National Cancer Advisory Board accepted "Working Guidelines for Early Cancer Detection." These guidelines advise physicians to encourage their female patients to perform monthly breast self-examination; to perform clinical breast examinations on all female patients undergoing periodic examination; to encourage women between 40 and 50 years old to have a mammogram every one to two years, after which the mammogram should become

The Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs are about to end the Theo Epstein compensation issue, according to ESPNBoston.com.
According to the website, a resolution to what the Cubs owe the Red Sox for Epstein, who became Chicago's team president this offseason, was "imminent" this morning: a quality minor-leaguer, an unidentified MLB source said.
"We are close to resolving this," the source said, according to ESPNBoston.com.
The sides have been locked in a standoff over the compensation, with the dispute eventually handed over to commissioner Bud Selig's office. Multiple media reports indicated that the Red Sox had initially sought some of the Cubs' best major-league players, including pitcher Matt Garza, which the Cubs rejected out of hand.
The matter eventually was referred to commissioner Bud Selig, who, according to other unidentified major league sources cited by ESPNBoston.com, had hoped the teams would reach a deal without his intervention.
The Cubs and Red Sox reportedly presented their compensation arguments in writing to Selig last week.
The prospect from the Cubs isn't expected to be on a par with top Cubs prospects such as outfielder Brett Jackson or infielder Josh Vitters, ESPNBoston.com's source said, but is expected to be a legitimate major-league prospect.

Rona M. MacKie is professor of dermatology at the University of Glasgow. Her aim in writing this book was "to introduce modern clinical dermatology in a stimulating manner both to undergraduate students and general practitioners who wish to update their dermatological knowledge." She has succeeded admirably.
The more common dermatoses are described clearly, and the color photographs graphically complement the text. The tables, scientific illustrations, and electron micrographs are well done and effectively extend the written material.
In a few instances the treatment recommended differs from that customarily used in the United States. For example, her antiacne regimen includes topical sulfur, salicylic acid, and resorcin, agents generally discarded here for acne, while topical vitamin A acid is not mentioned. Tetracycline is used commonly here in high dosage (1,000 to 1,500 mg daily) for long periods, whereas in Professor MacKie's clinic the dosage is reduced to 250 mg twice daily after

Fission to Fusion: From Improvisation and Formalism in Law and Music
Desmond Manderson
ANU College of Law; ANU College of Arts and Social Sciences; McGill University - Faculty of Law
January 2, 2011
(2010) 6 Critical Studies in Improvisation 1-10
ANU College of Law Research Paper No. 12-41
This paper asks the question, what happened to improvisation in the classical music tradition? why did it so dramatically decline in legitimacy and practice around the classical era. This apper draws connections between musical, legal, and political history in order to demonstrate the cultural change in the eighteenth century transformed people's understandings of texts, authority, legitimacy, and genius, in ways that changed the relationship of interpretation to textual authenticity with lasting effects in both music and legal professions. This paper thus continues the work on legal and musical history begun by this author in Statuta v Acts, Et Lex Perpetua, and Songs Without Music.

April 5, Hockey's Future: 24. Jimmy Howard, G -- Detroit Red Wings:
Height: 6'1 Weight: 204 lbs
In his third pro season, Howard has performed admirably for a Grand Rapids Griffins team that has had its share of ups and downs. His performance earned him goaltender of the month honors and a trip to the AHL All-Star game. Additionally, he earned some call-ups to the big club throughout the year, playing in four games. Howard is a butterfly goaltender with quick reflexes and strong anticipation. His is focused, covers the net well, and has been a difference maker for the Griffins. The Red Wings' top goaltending prospect is working towards a full-time position in the NHL, where he has the potential to develop into a competent starting goaltender.

Initiative to Promote Links Golf in Scotland Now Underway
Five Open championship venues are part of a new venture aimed at promoting links golf in Scotland. St. Andrews, Muirfield, Royal Troon, Turnberry and Carnoustie have joined forces with VisitScotland and 35 other Scottish links courses as part of the initiative.
Golfers worldwide will be familiar with such landmarks as the Swilcan Bridge and the 17th Road Hole on St Andrews Old Course and the famous 8th hole at Royal Troon nicknamed The Postage Stamp. The Great Scottish Links Collection website has been launched to raise awareness of some of the lesser-known links courses in the country where the game began.
The project has received the full backing of former Royal & Ancient Club secretary and captain Sir Michael Bonallack. Bonallack, who won five British Amateur titles between 1951and 1970 and appeared in nine Walker Cups, said, "Links golf is the truest test of the game. It brings out all the toughest characteristics in golf not just as a golfer but also as a person. You get good bounces and bad bounces on undulating terrain. It is all about how you deal with them. Scotlands courses offer the best test of them all."
The idea was developed by VisitScotland's Sector Development and marketing departments in the UK and Ireland, with support from Scottish golf writer and author Malcolm Campbell. Campbell is very keen that golfers discover Scotland's golfing heritage that dates back centuries.
Campbell, who joined Bonallack on the collection's six-man panel of experts, said, "Scotland is not only the home of golf but where it all started and the collection will re-enforce that image. We have the best collection of pure links courses in the world. We have more of them and they are better than any other place and the idea is that people can collect them by visiting them. There are dozens and dozens and if you want to play links golf then Scotland is the place to be.
"Five of the eight Open venues are included in the collection but there are so many more courses waiting to be discovered," Campbell added. "A lot of people won't have heard of most of them but they are all great in their own right. They are very old and inexpensive and very happy to welcome visitors."
Jillian Swankie, from VisitScotland, said, "This is a very exciting development. We believe Scotland has the best collection of links courses in the world and this website will make it obvious to the consumer. The new web pages have been designed so, not only can golfers choose the course they want to play, they can also book accommodation nearby and decide on which restaurant they'd like to eat at later.
"Additionally, although the collection features only 40 of our links courses, there are many more to choose from, all of which can be found on www.visitscotland.com/golf," Swankie said. "Some of the smaller courses are available to play for as little as £15, they are steeped in history and they are all true links courses.
"For example, Shiskine Golf Club on the Isle of Arran is only a twelve-hole course but is in a great setting with views of the Mull of Kintyre. A little further on from the course you will come across the cave where we're told Robert the Bruce watched the tireless efforts of a spider whose persistence encouraged him to continue with his task and ultimate victory at Bannockburn."
The courses adhere to the strict definition of links golf provided by the British Golf Museum. The museum states: "The links are the strip of land that can be found between the beach and the agricultural land used for growing crops. It is a stretch of land that is characterized by bunkers of sand, poor soil quality and long, thick grasses. The land is considered to have few uses ... one use for this was to play golf on it and the tradition has stuck."
In addition to this, VisitScotland set further criteria for inclusion including:
Courses must be true links and not simply coastal or sea view;
As the collection will be consumer-facing via the proposed online presence, the courses must be visitor friendly;
The courses selected have a reputation for working in partnership with other tourism-related organizations and bodies.
Every course participating in the project will also receive a personalized plaque stating that they are a member of the collection, a supply of postcards to give to visiting golfers and the right to use the specially-designed Great Scottish Links logo on their golf club literature and websites.

Buyer Beware: The next time you're in the grocery store, don't be fooled by what's written on the front of the package.
The Food and Drug Administration is warning that many shoppers are being tricked into thinking certain foods are healthier for them than they really are because of misleadling labels.
Most shoppers want to buy the healthiest food possible, but the FDA is now calling out some food manufacturers for misleading claims on the front of the package.
CBN News Reporter Lorie Johnson spoke more about what to look out for on food labels on Thursday's Newswatch program. Click play for more, following this report.
"The companies try to get around the rules by using vague terminology such as 'Helps supports your immune sytem' or 'Heart healthy,'" Bruce Silverglade, with the Center for Science in the Public Interest, said. "These claims are not reviewed by the FDA and are confusing to consumers."
Offenses include such things as implying blended juice products are made from a single juice, claims that a product is free of trans fats when it is high in saturated fats, or nutrient claims on foods for children that are only approved for adults.
"I'm sure they're doing whatever they think will sell the product," one shopper said.
The FDA is slapping 17 companies with a warning to change their labels or risk being pulled from the store shelves. They're giving the companies two weeks to respond.
"We hope this is the start of a battle that will lead to a war that will end deceptive food labeling," Silverglade said.
Although shoppers should beware of what's written on the front of packages, they can still trust what's on the nutrition facts box on the back or side of the package, and the list of ingredients.

Despite solid 'Basterds,' studio continues to downsize
The pinkslips keep coming at the Weinstein Co., with another 35 slots due to be cut in the next month, leaving the staff size at around 90.
Four-year-old TWC is also planning to limit the number of releases to 10 a year — four each for Harvey and Bob Weinstein and two pickups.
Moves come three months after TWC engaged restructuring specialist Miller Buckfire.
"We hired a firm to help us restructure and put a plan into place to get us to a size that will fortify our company moving forward," a TWC rep said. "In this economic climate, it makes sense to focus on a smaller slate, and with that, we need fewer people. By the end of the year, the look of the company will be complete, and we can continue releasing successful films."
TWC's been hit with several rounds of layoffs since last October, when it cut 24 people to leave the staff at 200. The latest round of reductions will leave the size of the staff similar to that of rival studios with a comparable slate size, such as Overture Films and Summit Entertainment.
Changes come in the wake of a solid box office performance by Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds," with $111 million domestically and $119 million in foreign markets. Universal and the Weinstein Co. are equal partners on "Basterds," with TWC handling domestic and U overseas.
TWC's "Halloween II" has turned in a decent $31.6 million domestic cume in four weeks. And its "Project Runway" has generated respectable smallscreen numbers.
The Weinsteins made a splash at the Toronto Film Festival with their acquisition of "A Single Man." TWC also recently sold off its Genius Products, with Vivendi assuming control of the home entertainment distribution operations and DVD franchises, including World Wrestling Entertainment and "Sesame Street."
TWC has been juggling its release calendar. A week ago, it delayed "Youth in Revolt," starring Michael Cera, from Oct. 30 to Jan. 15 on the heels of premiering the comedy at Toronto.
It also recently moved awards contender "The Road," starring Viggo Mortensen, from October to Nov. 25, where it will compete with another TWC kudos hopeful — the musical "Nine," directed by Rob Marshall and starring Daniel Day-Lewis.

Mini previously released a video depicting its new 2012 Mini Coupe having daily adventures in different locales around the world. (It's posted below in case you haven't seen it on the interwebs.)
Now, Mini has released three full-length videos expounding on those adventures:
The first video, Sunday in Rio, shows the driver of the Mini Coupe stop to pick up a Rio de Janeiro Carnival (think: larger version of Mardi Gras) performer, who appears to be late. Watch the first video to see the adventures of the Mini Coupe's occupants as they try to make it on time.
Next up is a video that depicts a cold Tuesday in Iceland when the Mini Coupe driver, who has previously picked up a supposed hitchhiker, stops to get coffee and realizes his co-pilot may not be the nice guy he seems to be. Check out his reaction in the video below.
Lastly, the third video shows an adventure that takes place Wednesday in Hong Kong. Love is in the air when a biker falls for a Mini Coupe owner. Watch as the two are pursued by the biker's motorcycle-riding ex-boyfriend.
After watching the videos let us know in the comments if you think the Mini Coupe was the perfect car for one, two or all three of the adventures.

> I need some help with the modems I have for a laptop of mine
Does this laptop have a make and a model#? This information is always
useful, and occasionally vital. Most FooLaptop 9000s have the same
hardware or very similar hardware, so if you check
http://tuxmobil.org/mylaptops.html for that make and model#, you can
often find complete reports of how to get everything working.
> The [built-in modem] is an Agere Systems AC'97 modem
This could be anything. What's lspci say it is?
> US Robotics XJ4288 PC Card modem. I'm running a Debian 3.1 AMD64
> version of linux; I'm pretty sure it's a 2.6.8 kernel.
If you're running stable, you may want to think about running testing
instead. Stable is pretty antiquated, especially if you have "weird
hardware" (most laptops qualify) to support. If the PCMCIA modem is a
Real Modem, all you should have to do is plug it in and pcmcia-cs should
recognize it automagically. If it's not... that won't work. Maybe you
should post the output of "cardctl ident" when this device is inserted.
> I've tried scanModem for the internal modem but I couldn't understand
> what to do with the result.
Post the text you didn't understand, and maybe one of the other
newsgroup readers will understand it.
> I've reached my wits' end here, anything will help.
Modems are, in general, too much of a pain to bother with in this modern
world if you're not living in BFE. (There are at least 4 unsecured
802.11bg APs visible from my living room, and the fast-food place I ate
lunch at yesterday had a sign advertising free 802.11 access.) But
provide the info I asked for above, and it might be possible to get one
of these devices working properly.
I find that having a pint or two is a good problem-solving technique.
Especially if it's vodka rather than beer.
