I am still getting comments on last week's column and also from the column of two weeks ago. My thoughts on the role of good leadership in law enforcement seem to resonate strongly with many residents.
I want to thank all of you who called or emailed on last week's column. Although I had a lot to say about Chief Keel of SLED and his good work in the aftermath of the Emanuel AME murders, we are blessed in this area with a host of good law enforcement.
I got a lot of good feedback from last week's column on the GOP candidates who have already visited Sun City.
My thanks to all who called or emailed concerning last week's column.
In coming weeks, I will make good on my promise to discuss the expanding effect Sun City is having on national politics, and how you, this legislator and your delegation benefit in ways you might not expect.
As expected, I got lots of feedback from last week's column. I was a little concerned that I might come off as peevish or nor caring about one unanswered constituent contact.
Last week, I promised to give some insight into the letter to the editor appearing in another newspaper, which was forwarded to me by a huge number of good folks in the community.
It came down. The Confederate battle flag on the S.C. Statehouse grounds was pulled down with appropriate ceremony and moved to the Relic Room as part of the display dealing with the Civil War.
I hope each of you had a great Fourth of July celebration. Our May River is the perfect place to cool off and have a slice of watermelon and perhaps a beverage. It wouldn't be a proper Fourth without a hot, sunny day.
It has been another tumultuous week in our state, and indeed, across the country. The eyes of the nation were on South Carolina, and focused particularly on Charleston.
With the funeral of Sen.

Skip to comments.San Francisco police reviewing tiger victims' cell phones, car
Posted on 01/16/2008 12:35:55 PM PST by repinwi
San Francisco police today began their review of the cell phones and car belonging to the survivors of a Christmas Day tiger attack at the San Francisco Zoo, officials said.
< snip >
A San Francisco Superior Court judge granted a search warrant allowing police to examine the cell phones and car on Tuesday.
For police and city officials to get the warrant, they needed to show probable cause of felony wrongdoing, a city official said.
(Excerpt) Read more at mercurynews.com ...
AFTER they've already said there would be no charges?
What kind of person evades Christmas with the family and instead gets drunk and goes to the zoo?
"...Santa Clara County prosecutor Stuart Scott told Superior Court Judge Michele McKay McCoy on Tuesday that he will file a charge of battery on a police officer against 19-year-old Paul Dhaliwal.
Dhaliwal and his older brother, Kulbir, 23, already face two misdemeanor counts of public drunkenness and resisting arrest. The incident happened On Sept. 7, after police stopped them for questioning as they walked down a street near their home. Police were responding to reports of a fight and thought they looked suspicious...
They remind ne of a bulgular who falls through a skylight and wants to sue the building owner. Treat them like Columbo ... (lame AI reference from yesterdays show).
YOu gotta be a pretty big jerk to make me root for the tiger, but these guys look like they fit the bill.
Thanks, I'd not seen that.
One: Were they actually drunk? Two: Did they really have slingshots with them? Three: If they had been drinking what was their blood alcohol level? Four: Do you really think that someone deserves to be chewed and killed by a tiger for merely teasing it somewhat? Five: Where were the officials that are supposed to stop this type of teasing(if such really occured)? Six: Why are you not calling the zoo officials assclowns for having a fence 4 feet lower than reccomended for containing tigers?
To answer your question about who evades Christmas to go get drunk at the zoo, I really don't know. What I do know is that evading Christmas and getting drunk at the zoo isn't a death penalty offense.
They need to preserve evidence for the inevitable civil suit against the zoo, part of which is owned by the city.
If the guys were making a video for YouTube or something like "Jackass," that needs to be known, as an aggravating factor.
. . . personal accountability . . .
Six: Why are you not calling the zoo officials assclowns for having a fence 4 feet lower than reccomended for containing tigers?
Well, the height of the wall was never an issue until these punks came along.
Anti-animal hate crime. The tiger is not guilty by reason of temporary insanity, and the police overreacted and shot a member of an underprivileged minority who should not be held accountable for reacting when provoked.
Sad to say but there are a whole bunch of morons who really believe that.
If indeed they were taunting the tiger, of course I don't think they deserved to get killed for it. HOWEVER, they were endangering every other human at the zoo, which is incredibly irresponsible.
Then again, they had every reason to believe the tiger couldn't get out.
Why? Man put a wild animal in a cage. The tiger sure would prefer to be at home in the wild. How would you like to be put in a cage? The perps that taunted the tiger should be in jail.
I back Tygger.
Uhhh, judging by their names, non-Christians who don't celebrate Christmas?
I'll bet the tiger thought so.
There are consequences for their actions even if they didn't like them. Reality smacked them upside the head and now they don't like it. Too bad.
If the cell phones have evidence that this was some sort of gang initiation or something, the other two guys should be charged with manslaughter, of homicide and shouldn't get a penny from the lawsuit they were so quick to file.
Apparently, the tiger thought so.
News that police were granted a search warrant implies a reinvigorated criminal investigation.
of homicide=or homicide
"Four: Do you really think that someone deserves to be chewed and killed by a tiger for merely teasing it somewhat?"
Ever hear of the saying "You mess with the bull, you get the horn"?
"Five: Where were the officials that are supposed to stop this type of teasing(if such really occured)?"
What the the zoo officials supposed to do, have people stationed at every exhibit telling them "dont tap on the glass"? IF these idiots wanted to see how much they could pizz off a tiger, they got their wish.
WOW!!!!! That's probably what's on their cell phones! How did you get a hold of the pics so fast? LOL
Unless these people actually let the tiger out, this is 100% the zoo's responsibility, 0% anyone else's. We can thank lawyers for our modern views on responsibility (the criminal is the victim, the victim is the criminal, etc).
Yes. Not much of that anymore.
Reminds me of the dopey broad who spilled hot coffee in her crotch and blamed McDonalds. Moron...
The tiger "Tatiana" was born in captivity. Has no knowledge what it's like to be out in the wild or to hunt. Their mother teaches them that. BORN IN CAPTIVITY.
Yippee. Let's all go jump into a shark tank at Sea World.
If these sterling contributors to American society knowingly did anything to disturb that display animal, they are best Darwined from our society.
As for the politically correct SF city and zoo idiots, they are grossly negligent and deserve prison.
The Tiger was improperly managed and trained and is better off dead, still, she won two battles, while losing the campaign.
Stupidity is a capital crime, not always enforced.
"Zoo officials have implied that the young men taunted the tiger. "
Pretty weak. A human can taunt a tiger simply by making eye contact. Same with bears and other predatorial animals.
I couldn't agree more.
You obviously never met my daughter-in-law's family.
No it indicates the city is looking for a bolt hole to reduce the amount of the pay out, nothing more. Their search warrant will not stand up if front of the appeals court.
"If these sterling contributors to American society knowingly did anything to disturb that display animal, they are best Darwined from our society."
At the very least they are guilty of violating the rule about not feeding the animals.
Well, the height of the wall was never an issue until these punks came along...................The state of a drunken driver is never an issue either unless he is caught or kills someone .
We don't know what level of taunt there is. It could be there were things thrown at the tiger. That would be considered taunt. Why people think taunt is like teasing I will never know.
Well hopefully they won't dog around and will look at the phones before it can get to an appeal.
Even taunting, the cat shouldn't have been able to get out. They need to know if these guys were in the den and if the cat used them or a rope or something to climb over.
It's bad enough these animals have to be in cages...Some of them were rescue animals, which is good, but taunting them in anyway is beyond stupidity, and only a twisted moron or very young child would try something like that.
I root fo the (Tiger) in a matter of self preservation. Those three thugs picked on the wrong canine and were on the wrong turf.
Too, bad the Tiger did not eliminate all three. This trio with the exception minus one ,will probably be permanent residents of a correctional facility in the near future.
In homage to the Tiger, he or she did what was natural, defend itself against jackals in human form.
Drunk or doing something stupid, I would hope that I (and you) would have tried to help someone from being killed.
Yeah, and without instincts as a result? Gimme a break.
And as far as the argument goes regarding that 'just because they were taunting the cat doesn't mean they deserved to die', well, just because someone drives 90 mph shouldn't mean they have 'earned a death sentence', but few would argue that the 90 mph driver doesn't bear the bulk of the blame when they slam it into the center divider.
I'm curious about the civil suit anyway. In California, the suit is customarily brought where the DEFENDANT resides, not the plaintiff. My guess is there will be a venue transfer motion back to San Francisco.
In any event, the Santa Clara judge has no authority to strike down a search warrant issued in a San Francisco criminal case. Plus, in a civil suit, the defendants can simply seek the contents of the cell phones through discovery and seen sanctions if the plaintiffs destroy the evidence.
"Yeah, and without instincts as a result? Gimme a break."
The word instinct means a behavior that is built in, and doesnt have to be learned. No one has to teach a fish how to swim, or teCH a tiger to kill you when you pizz it off.
I do believe there would have been blood on the wall if that had happened. ROFLOL

Cosco Container Lines Americas is planning to close several regional offices, including its location in North Charleston as part of a restructuring and consolidation plan announced this week.
In addition to the space on Lacross Road in North Charleston, Cosco is planning to shutter offices in Boston, Chicago, New York, Norfolk, San Francisco and Seattle for the formation of a North America Operation Center, officials said.
Cosco officials added that services will be uninterrupted during the restructuring, which is expected to be completed by this year.
Cosco provides cargo vessel services to several ports along the East Coast, including Port of Charleston.
The company has not named a location for the new centralized location, but customer service and operation functions will be performed from the Cosco Container Lines Americas' location in Secaucus, N.J., according to a written statement.
"(Cosco) believe that the restructuring will improve overall performance and efficiency of the company and the company will also be able to provide superior value-added service to its customers," according to the statement.
The company's restructuring comes as shippers continue to seek ways to lessen costs amid declining volume growth and over-capacity.
Some cargo ship operators are seeking to form vessel-sharing agreements as a way to improve efficiency and lessen overall costs to ship cargo containers.
Operators have already implemented other means to slim costs, including slowing vessels to save on costly fuel.

2005 Dodge Dakota 4dr Quad Cab Laramie Rwd SB (3.7L 6cyl 4A)
As much a Dodge fan that I am, this is not looking good. I have a vibration problem, the suspension is very soft, the front end pulls and clunks. I am very dissatisfied, and this will probably be my last Dodge.
Roomy cab, body design, good power, very comfortable cruising at 70mph +.
Poor engineering on front end. Very weak for a pickup. Wind noise in cab. This truck should have never been released with these faults.
My brother and I looked for new pick up trucks for a few weeks when we came across our 2005 Quad Cab Laramie V-8 Dakotas. The dealer had a few left over '05s and they were fully loaded (except 4WD). We both purchased one each and the trucks are identical even down to the VIN minus the last digit. This truck has been one of the best vehicles I have owned. It is great looking in and out, has a very solid feel when driving with positive steering response , very good accelaration and stopping characteristics. The fuel economy is better than expected and over all we are both very happy with our trucks and would buy one again or highly recommend one to a friend or family.
Other than a little cabin noise have found this vehicle sound and comfortable. Gas mileage I feel is OK.
Leather bucket seats,
Take the wind noise out of the cabin
We do a lot of long distance trips and this has been one of the best, if not the best, vehicles we have purchased. We feel safe and comfortable but not overpowering as some of the large trucks appear. Visibility is great, handling is above average, and we have the power to do anything we would ever need a truck for, like pulling a trailer or boat. I like to do my own minor service and to see how well this truck is constructed underneath is impressive. A very well built truck that is very easy for me to work on. The interior room is the best of all competitors. What a truck! Thank you Dodge.
Leather seats, Alpine sound system. Large exterior mirrors. Great looks and abundant interior space.
Twin exhaust on HO V8
This truck has it all in one versatile package. I can haul 4 adults, a load in the bed and tow a large boat at the same time comfortably. I get decent fuel economy, 18 to 19 mpg in mixed driving but I stick to posted speeds mostly. My kids love the DVD system and the stereo is kicking.
The exterior look.
More engine choices and a little bit softer interior.

Glaucoma News Archive (2013)
Contacts That Deliver Glaucoma Medication May Soon Be a Reality
December 2013 Contact lenses that deliver glaucoma medication over long periods are getting closer to reality, say researchers at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary.
In their study, the lenses delivered the glaucoma drug latanoprost (brand name Xalatan) continuously to laboratory animals for a month. The goal, researchers said, is to someday have these lenses replace eye drops now used to treat the eye disease. Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide.
The lenses, which appeared safe in cell culture and animal studies, are the first to be shown to release drugs for this long in animals, according to the researchers. The study will appear online and in the January print issue of the journal Biomaterials.
Recommended For You
The lens the research team developed is capable of delivering large amounts of drug at substantially constant rates over weeks to months, according to researchers at the Laboratory for Biomaterials and Drug Delivery at Boston Children's Hospital. They believe a non-invasive method of sustained eye drug delivery could save millions of people from blindness if it helps them comply with their medication regimen.
Connection Found Between Glaucoma and Sleep Apnea
November 2013 Sleep apnea is an independent risk factor for open-angle glaucoma, says new research from Taipei Medical University.
This obstructive sleep apnea sufferer is using a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine to keep his airway open during sleep.
The retrospective study took information from data collected across the population and found that those who had been diagnosed with sleep apnea were 1.67 times more likely to have open-angle glaucoma in the five years after diagnosis than those without the sleep condition.
Glaucoma affects nearly 60 million people worldwide and is the second-leading cause of blindness. If left untreated, glaucoma reduces peripheral vision and eventually may cause blindness by damaging the optic nerve.
According to the World Health Organization, sleep apnea is a chronic condition that blocks breathing during sleep for more than 100 million people worldwide.
In obstructive sleep apnea, the airway becomes blocked, causing breathing to stop for up to two minutes. Symptoms include loud snoring, gasping or choking while asleep, morning headaches and persistent daytime sleepiness.
Higher Glaucoma Risk for Oral Contraceptive Users
November 2013 Women who have taken oral contraceptives for three or more years are twice as likely to suffer from glaucoma, says a newly reported study. Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness and affects nearly 60 million people worldwide.
The study is the first to establish an increased risk of glaucoma in women who have used oral contraceptives for three or more years. The researchers used 2005-2008 data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which included 3,406 female participants aged 40 years or older from across the United States who completed the survey's vision and reproductive health questionnaire and underwent eye exams.
It found that females who had used oral contraceptives, no matter which kind, for longer than three years are 2.05 times more likely to also report that they have the diagnosis of glaucoma. Previous studies in the field have shown that estrogen may play a significant role in the pathogenesis of glaucoma.
According to the researchers, though this finding does not prove using birth control pills causes glaucoma, it indicates that long-term use of oral contraceptives might be a potential risk factor for glaucoma, especially when combined with other known glaucoma risk factors, such as a history of high eye pressure, a family history of glaucoma, and African-American ethnicity.
The study authors also advised gynecologists and eye doctors to be aware that oral contraceptives might play a role in the development of glaucoma, and to recommend that women who are taking birth control pills routinely have their eyes screened for the disease.
The study was conducted by researchers at University of California, San Francisco, Duke University School of Medicine and Third Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University, Nanchang, China.
Widespread Brain Changes Found in Glaucoma Patients
July 2013 Glaucoma traditionally has been defined as damage to the optic nerve (usually caused by high eye pressure) that results in visual field loss. A new study offers evidence that glaucoma may instead be a neurological disorder with wider implications.
MRIs revealed differences in brain structures of people with glaucoma vs. people without the disease.
Researchers at Wills Eye Institute in Philadelphia have discovered widespread structural changes in the brains of glaucoma patients. They looked at MRIs of brain structures of 15 people with glaucoma of varying severity and 15 without glaucoma, matched for age, race and sex. None of the participants had any known neurological or other disorders that could affect the visual field, and all passed a mental health screening.
The MRI scans were analyzed to measure the volumes of 93 brain structures and to identify structures that differed significantly between the glaucoma group and the control group. Also, the volumes of all brain structures in the glaucoma group were correlated with the severity of the patients' glaucoma.
Five brain structures differed significantly between the two groups, all of which are involved in visual processing: the right and left inferior occipital gyri, the right middle occipital gyrus, the right inferior temporal gyrus, and the right occipital lobe white matter. Surprisingly, all of these structures were larger in the glaucoma group than in the control group.
Within the glaucoma group, 38 percent of all brain structures showed a link between decreased volume and glaucoma severity.
These results suggest patients with glaucoma "undergo widespread and complex changes in cortical brain structure and that the extent of these changes correlates with disease severity," according to the study authors.
The study report appeared online this month in the journal Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science.

What. An. AWESOME. Experience! View from our seats was fantastic (upper 60s, kitty corner from end zone). Leafs fans were awesome, some good natured ribbing but overall a good feeling of camaraderie both days. Felt like crowd was pretty evenly split, though Leafs fans were louder. It was SO COLD and conditions on the ice were s***tastic, but everyone seemed like they were having a blast. Nothing to complain about for me as far as effort/gameplay, except the shootout has to go. Another overtime 5 of 3 on 3 would have been a far more satisfying end to the game.
f*** getting out after the game, though. Didn't get home until almost midnight between traffic and s***ty roads. Also people had a hard time getting in and a lot arrived late.
Worth every minute and frozen digit
Yeah i live about 40 min from ann arbor, left at 10 am, didn't get there until start of 2nd period. Had 10th row, and while a small portion of the near side ice was blocked, it was still pretty easy to see what was going on. Leafs fans were fun, and I honestly think there were more of them than us. The snow made it awesome but it was very very cold. My pregnant wife started feeling like she HAD to lay down so unfortunately I had to leave as the shootout started. I had my dad drop my wife and I just outside the stadium on Main st. and picked us up there too so no paying for parking but, it DID take us 2 hours to move just one mile down main st after, and 5 hours total to get home. At one point I looked around and people had a good inch or two of snow built up on their heads lol. Overall a fun experience and everyone was cool except after the shootout ended a leafs fan that also left early came up and put his hand right in my face and yelled "good win, oh yeah" and then shoved my face while I was trying to keep my preg wife from falling.
Before I could even go after him his buddy socked him in the arm and said "what the hell is wrong with you man, he's holding his pregnant girl, and then apologized" But overall all the leafs fans were awesome. Good game, terrible traffic, cold as all hell but I'd do it again in about half a second.

"The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new."
Being a mother is amazing.
But it is also hard work.
Family and friends are eager to hear charming stories about your new baby. But who do you share with when you are feeling exhausted and overwhelmed?
As a new mother, you are as vulnerable and as sensitive as your newborn.
We've all heard the phrase, it takes a village to raise a child.
It takes a village to raise a mother too.
It can be so hard to ask for help.
But you are not alone.
Every day I speak to mothers who are feeling tired and unsure.
As mothers, it is time we all asked for the help that we need.
There is so much pressure on getting it right. Instead we could be getting in touch…sharing our experiences honestly, supporting each other when we make mistakes, helping each other navigate the transition to motherhood.
I'd love to connect with you.
Hello there!
I'm Caitlin!
I am a nurse, a hypnobirthing practitioner, a postpartum doula, a wife and a mother.
I am a woman.
And I am so glad you are here!
I help mothers-to-be who are seeking a calm, beautiful and empowering birth.
I help new mothers move from feeling overwhelmed to feeling calm, confident, and in control.
I help women make the transition to motherhood as smooth as possible.
By sharing your journey to motherhood with me, you will come to recognise your strength, value your happiness, and be the mother that you desire to be.
Becoming a mother is the best thing I have ever done.
And it is the hardest thing I have ever done.
Talk about an identity-shifting, world-changing transformation that makes you incredibly vulnerable and is hugely empowering!
After I emerged from the haze that is life with a newborn, I found myself searching.
At first I wasn't sure what I was searching for, but then I realised I was searching for myself.
I had lost myself in motherhood.
Where did I go?
Me…the unique woman with hopes and dreams not related to her child, but of her own?
How do I find her amongst the endless nappies and laundry?
I tried looking for myself in different places.
Was I back at work?
Perhaps studying would return me to myself?
The inspirational community I found through blogging put me on a solid path.
Becoming first a hypnobirthing practitioner and then a postpartum doula helped me define myself and refine my search.
I returned to activities that I loved. Jogging, Pilates, baking.
I tried new things. Meditation, iPhoneography, engaging in creative collaboration.
I am still seeking, but I know I am on the right course.
There certainly are days when I feel frustrated and lost.
But most days I feel fulfilled and inspired.
It has taken me nearly three years to reconcile being a mother with being a woman.
And I know you can do it too.
I believe in me.
And I believe in you.
This is all about our journey.
Our path to finding wellness and wellbeing.
To finding ourselves as women…our very own unique and special brand of joyful, empowered, inspiring women…not just mothers.
This is a space for sharing our stories.
Our challenges and our triumphs.
The lessons we have learned and those we are still trying to grasp.
We only get one opportunity to birth and to raise our children.
I am here to help you plan in place that moves you from feeling overwhelmed to feeling calm, confident, and in control.
I help mothers make the transition from woman to mother as smooth as possible.
I Believe:
Birth matters.
Birth is a crucial part of a mother's story and of her child's story.
Birth is powerful.
The strength you find through birthing gives you self-knowledge and self-confidence.
Mothers can be joyful women.
We are fun, stylish, we kick our heels up, we laugh!
Women need to rally behind other women.
We need to restore one another, energise one another, inspire one another. We all have something to give.
Most problems can be solved with good friends and any combination of coffee, tea, red wine, gin and ice cream!
A Bit More About Me:
I am an American. But I have called Brisbane home for the past nine years. More than anything, I miss American grocery stores. Or rather I miss what they are filled with…Cinnamon Toast Crunch, real lemonade, and Pepper Jack cheese.
I love a good coffee…a flat white extra hot or an iced latte depending on the season.
I hate camping. I could perhaps come to terms with glamping.
"Motherhood brings as much joy as ever, but it still brings boredom, exhaustion, and sorrow too. Nothing else ever will make you as happy or as sad, as proud or as tired, for nothing is quite as hard as helping a person develop his own individuality especially while you struggle to keep your own"
-Marguerite Kelly and Elia Parsons
The first step in finding out how to get the support, confidence, health and love that all new mothers need is entering your email address below.
I will send you a free copy of my Post Partum Planner.

The 2014 NFL draft is finally here. In case you weren't ready for it two weeks ago or decided to lock yourself in an underground bunker to avoid the silly reports this time of year, allow Bleacher Report to get you up to speed.
The Oakland Raiders enter a pivotal year of the post-Al Davis era. General manager Reggie McKenzie has a whopping four picks in the first 107 of the draft, doubling the number of picks he's had in that range over the last two years. Besides a few late-round picks McKenzie traded away, the Raiders have a full assortment of picks at their disposal.
Finding an impact player is the most important thing at No. 5, but the Raiders also need to find starters to eventually replace the veterans they signed in free agency. Since the Raiders can't count on their seventh-round picks to be starters, they have very little margin of error.

Mission Statement
The Kevin Richardson Wildlife Sanctuary's mission is to provide a self-sustaining African carnivore sanctuary for the purposes of wild species preservation through education, awareness and funding, especially pertaining to the rapid decline of large carnivores in Africa due to habitat loss, human-predator conflict, unscrupulous hunting, disease and their illegal trade.
Vision Statement
The Kevin Richardson Wildlife Sanctuary transforms the way humans think, interact and behave toward the keeping of large carnivores. The sanctuary's ultimate goal is to minimize the number of large carnivores being kept in captivity and to highlight the direct link between the cub petting industry and the 'canned' hunting industry, by educating the unsuspecting public to the horrors associated with this unscrupulous practise. Ultimately we would like to see both practises outlawed. The sanctuary aims to maximize efforts towards keeping carnivores in their natural habitats and is currently home not only to lion, but spotted hyena, striped hyena and black leopard.
The lion population occupies less than 20% of its former range in Africa. Numbers are estimated between 15 000 and 30 000 depending on who is asked. More recently scientists have started to settle on a number of 20 000 however more research is needed in to the actual numbers. If allowed to carry on declining at the current rate we will have no lions left in the wild in as little as 20 years.
Our vision is to raise awareness about the plight of lions and other carnivores in the wild and help prevent their habitat loss via human encroachment and conflict (revenge killing), unscrupulous hunting and illegal trade. The sanctuary's efforts are buttressed by its many collaborative efforts with other like-minded international organizations that provide care, support, academic and scientific research and other such programs that support the shared values of the sanctuary.
The sanctuary provides the animals in its care the ability to live out full lives, in an open and natural environment, by providing cutting edge enrichment programs and health care. Education of both adults and children are at the bedrock of how the sanctuary aims to accomplish its goals via documentaries, films, social media and tourism.
It is through education that the sanctuary aims to be able to transform attitudes and misconstrued ideas of carnivores, and illuminate the desperate plight of the lion and their carnivore cousins.

It opens each day at 7 a.m. The Bayou House is on the west side of U.S. 85 in Lucerne about three miles north of Greeley.

Solutions for Chapter 15
Abiding by customers' requests every time could have the potential danger of losing out the key competitive advantage of singular focus on high quality by trying to be everything to everyone.
This would have an impact on the positioning of Costco. If Costco chooses to keep products that are low on quality, eventually in the long-run, this attempt would lead to the dilution of the brand.
Therefore, Costco should not give in to the customers' demand of stocking low-quality goods.

Authorities remained tight-lipped Tuesday on whether they think a man who died during a home-invasion robbery was targeted because of his age.
Still, they're urging seniors to be more cautious about answering unexpected knocks at the door.
Tips: Reducing the risk of a burglary or robbery:
Lock doors and windows.
Light the outside of the house; trim shrubs.
Install deadbolts, window gates and an alarm system.
Ask a neighbor to keep an eye on your property.
Make the house appear occupied. Use timers, and when on vacation stop deliveries and arrange to have circulars collected, the lawn mowed and garbage put out.
Don't open door to strangers. Use peepholes, not the chain.
Practice being conscious of who's nearby and of a place to quickly go in event of emergency.

Detectives spent much of the day Tuesday interviewing family members of William Hastings. Police say the 76-year-old confronted two men who broke into his Willow Creek Drive home just north of Amarillo early Monday morning and demanded money. A 50-year-old woman who was in the house with Hastings was forced into a closet. His 11-year-old grandson slept through the ordeal in another room.
The crime marked the third home-invasion robbery in as many weeks, two of which occurred on rural county lands and involved victims older than 60.
Lt. Gary Trupe, who heads the Potter-Randall Special Crimes Unit, said while there are similarities between two of the robberies, they "are completely separate crimes." He would not speculate on whether the attackers specifically sought out older victims.
An autopsy of Hastings is expected to be conducted today in Lubbock. Hastings was self-employed and often worked at the T-Anchor Flea Market on Ross Street. Calls to the business were not returned.
Trupe would not comment on whether police believe he and the 50-year-old woman, with whom Hastings had a relationship, were targeted because of their age.
Meanwhile, the Potter County Sheriff's Office released a sketch of a woman who they think may be linked to one of the robberies.
Sheriff's officials say the woman went to a home on the 12000 block of West Interstate 40 on July 14, rang the bell and asked for help. She claimed to have been lost and needed directions to get to Oklahoma City.
The woman was able to lure the couple outside where they were grabbed by masked men and had something thrown over their heads, according to a police report.
They were handcuffed, taken back inside the home and robbed.
Potter County sheriff's Lt. Robert Laird said elderly victims often are targeted because of the perception they are wealthier and will offer less resistance. The use of a young woman to lure the victims outside their home was unusual.
"We're hoping the public takes an interest in the case and can help," Laird said. "These are elderly victims. It's a sad thing when elderly people are victims in their own homes."
Taken during the robbery were cash, a large gold ring with 23 diamonds, silver coins and a South African gold coin known as a Krugerrand. Three men, each carrying handguns and wearing black ski masks, were involved in the heist.
The woman was described as about 18 to 25 years old, standing 5 feet 1 inch to 5 feet 3 inches and weighing 100 to 110 pounds. She had blond or sandy blond hair that either was short or pinned up and had blue or green eyes. She was last seen wearing blue jeans and a gray T-shirt with a large emblem on the front. Both victims reported seeing a dark-colored or possibly gray sport utility vehicle in the driveway at the time of the attack.
Another robbery, reported July 10 on the 900 block of South Hayden Street in Amarillo, left a 43-year-old with a gunshot wound to his leg.
Police officers entered the home and found Steve Degrate without a pulse and were able to revive him. Authorities are searching for two gunmen in that incident.
