Warning: This synopsis contains plot spoilers
South Africa in the 1980s.
Civil unrest is mounting. Labor strikes threaten the economy. Black South Africans are locked up or murdered by police. The African National Congress (ANC) plants bombs in public places. Prime Minister P.W. Botha declares a state of emergency.
The racist apartheid regime that has ruled for nearly forty years and stripped the majority of the nation of its rights appears to be in its final throes. But will the nation go up in flames?
Against this backdrop, British business executive Michael Young, charged with shoring up the South African assets of a mining company amid the turmoil, makes a bold move. Following failed attempts to work with black South Africans in the townships to try to smooth simmering tensions, he takes his chances at the top.
In London, Young approaches Thabo Mbeki, deputy to ANC president Oliver Tambo, with a simple plea. "What can we do?" Mbeki takes a chance, and Young takes it upon himself to play the role of mediator, arranging secret face-to-face talks between ANC representatives and powerful Afrikaners.
Mbeki is on board, but finding Afrikaners willing to participate is difficult. Young finally recruits a reluctant Willie Esterhuyse, an academic who detests the violent tactics of the ANC as much as the immorality of apartheid.
Players in place, Young takes the plan to his boss, Rudolph Agnew. The corporate chairman agrees to hold the discussions at the company's country mansion in England. But if anything becomes public, he vows to deny everything.
Esterhuyse suspects he is being watched. Indeed, everyone involved in Young's plan is. Phones are tapped. Cars are chased. Death threats are issued.
Dr. Neil Barnard, the sinister but savvy state head of intelligence who begins clandestine meetings with Nelson Mandela, has his fingers into many pots. He strong-arms Esterhuyse into reporting back on the meetings in London. He can use the information to pit Mandela, who has become the symbol of the anti-apartheid movement, against the ANC's actual leadership in exile — all the better for Botha's government to control the endgame of apartheid.
Violence in South Africa increases as the players head to England for their first sit-down. The stately environs belie boiling tensions inside. As these "talks about talks" continue — not the official negotiations between the government and the ANC but a potential prelude to them — it becomes clear that reform is not an option, abolition is the only choice. But common ground is elusive.
In the quieter evenings at the estate, Young leaves the opposing sides to mingle, in what is later referred to as "Glenfiddich diplomacy," away from the light of day. They start slowly to see each other as something other than mortal enemies.
Returning to their homes, Mbeki and Esterhuyse find the fragile relationship forming between the sides threatened by their own constituencies. It's clear that very powerful people on both sides would prefer the secret talks cease. Their lives are at risk.
Barnard continues his clandestine talks with Mandela, but the plan to divide and conquer is not working. The spy chief decides the time has come to initiate direct talks with the ANC in exile. President Botha stands firm, but loses power.
As Young's furtive talks recommence in England, bitterness and anger give way to trust. A new player enters the discussions — Willem de Klerk, the liberal older brother of F.W. de Klerk, Botha's successor as president. Initially, the elder de Klerk is tightlipped about his brother's perspective on future negotiations. His silence distresses Mbeki and others.
Suddenly the elder de Klerk stumbles to the conference room with a game changing message — the new administration is open to negotiations.
Against the odds and at great personal risk to all involved, the plan hatched by that lone business executive helps to pave the way for official discussions between the white government and the ANC. Those unofficial players in apartheid's endgame watch the television in amazement as Mandela is finally released from prison, sitting together one last time in that English manor so far away.
Note: Endgame is a political thriller inspired by actual events. To find out more about the facts behind the film, read an interview with the real-life Michael Young.

Rumor Patrol: Kim Kardashian's Ring, Justin Timberlake-Jessica Biel Wedding Details, More

Kim Kardashian's Diamond: See that big rock on Kim's right hand in the photo above? That's causing some rumors to swirl over Kanye and Kim's relationship. Is it an engagement ring?

Bag of Silver
Richard Rich Pretty Much a Disaster as Ambassador to Malta
Hattip to Catholic Key Blog.
Richard Rich Douglas Kmiec, who sold out the pro-life movement by supporting the most pro-abortion candidate in our nation's history for President, Barack Obama, now the most pro-abortion President in our nation's history, is pretty much a disaster as ambassador to Malta, his equivalent of the going rate for traitors of thirty pieces of silver, according to a State Department Report.
He is respected by Maltese officials and most mission staff, but his unconventional approach to his role as ambassador has created friction with principal officials in Washington, especially over his reluctance to accept their guidance and instructions. Based on a belief that he was given a special mandate to promote President Obama's interfaith initiatives, he has devoted considerable time to writing articles for publication in the United States as well as in Malta, and to presenting his views on subjects outside the bilateral portfolio. He has been inconsistent in observance of clearance procedures required for publication. He also looks well beyond the bilateral relationship when considering possible events for the mission to host in Malta. His approach has required Department principals, as well as some embassy staff, to spend an inordinate amount of time reviewing his writings, speeches, and other initiatives. His official schedule has been uncharacteristically light for an ambassador at a post of this size, and on average he spends several hours of each work day in the residence, much of which appears to be devoted to his nonofficial writings.
At the same time, he has not focused sufficiently on key management issues within the embassy. . .
. . .The Ambassador advised the inspection team that he intended to discontinue his outside writings and focus on matters that directly pertain to the embassy and priorities outlined in the Mission Strategic and Resource Plan (MSRP). Within weeks of the team's departure, however, he resumed drafting public essays that addressed subjects outside his purview as Ambassador to Malta and detracted from his core responsibilities. These activities also detracted from the core responsibilities of embassy staff members who devoted time and effort to reviewing and editing the ambassador's drafts and seeking approvals occasionally after the writings had been submitted for publication from Department officials.
Senator Nelson Sells Out Unborn, Health Care Bill Heads to Vote
(Updates at the bottom of this article.)
Harry Reid was able to make huge concessions to the state of Nebraska and bought Senator Ben Nelson's vote a la Mary Landrieu. The vote seems headed to the floor with all 60 votes secured to impose on American's draconian laws that would hike insurance rates and begin the downward slope towards European style socialism.
Nelson secured full federal funding for his state to expand Medicaid coverage to all individuals below 133 percent of the federal poverty level. Other states must pay a small portion of the additional cost. He won concessions for qualifying nonprofit insurers and for Medigap providers from a new insurance tax. He also was able to roll back cuts to health savings accounts.
What's in the bill that I'm aware of? I've broken down the Washington Post article almost verbatim below:

"...the most common targets are government agencies and senior managers and executives; the spear phishing of such big game is commonly referred to as "whaling."
The New York Times, E-Mail Fraud Hides Behind Friendly Face, by Matt Richtel and Verne G. Kopytoff, June 2, 2011
"Another approach, one used in the Google attacks, is a variation on so-called phishing schemes, in which an e-mail message purporting to be from the recipient's bank or another institution tricks the person into giving up passwords. Scammers send such messages to thousands of people in hopes of ensnaring a few. But with so-called spear-phishing, the bogus e-mail is sent to a specific person and appears to come from a friend or colleague inside that person's company, making it far more believable."

|Oct 17 2012, 05:10 AM Post #24
LOL. Really?
I'm just so happy and relieved that those left have a bigger fanbase. I was hoping because the judges were nice to her and she got her best score that maybe she'd wind up in jeopardy. I just assumed whoever next to her would go home HOWEVER, I was convinced Sabrina or Melissa would be going home and when they were saved I have to admit I was really not sure between Kirstie and Bristol. They both have 'that fan base' that keeps them around. I love Kirstie but the bottom two was right on point.

I loved her the first season, hated her this season.
I think it was her reality show that made me hate her.

I'm sad to see Sabrina go. I really wanted her to get further but you know what, she did great. I really thought it would be Apolo.
You also have to see it as she likely doesn't have the mass fanbase the others do. Kirstie completely appeals to the core DWTS audience. Shawn and Apolo are huge favorites, though I feel like they might be fading a tiny bit, though both are doing amazing. Emmitt also has a huge fanbase. Gilles nearly beat Shawn. I mean, I'm not at all shocked by who's gone home or who's still around. If we picked a F4 now, I would pick Gilles and Shawn for sure. Kelly, Kirstie and Melissa will likely fight it out for a spot while Emmitt and Apolo are likely going to fight for a spot.

This is the first season she hasn't made reference to when she was Derek's partner how he worked her, etc. As it gets closer to the end asking people how would they feel if this was their last dance? What??? Answers ways the same from everyone.

Young and Old Protest in D.C. for Jobs, Unemployment Benefits
New America Media | 12/13/2011, 1:16 p.m.
Ashley Howard knows about economic pain. The Washington resident has been unemployed for a year, after being laid off from an administrative job at the Environmental Protection Agency. Her unemployment benefits are set to expire next month. She has worked sparingly since then and participated in training programs, but she says it's not enough. The 23-year-old mother of two lived in a shelter until recently moving in with a family member.
"When I get paid from unemployment, it's like the money is gone as soon as it gets there," Howard said.
Howard applied for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, but was denied because she was told she makes too much on unemployment. She's worried she may have nothing to give her kids for Christmas. She wished those in Congress could imagine what it's like to be in her shoes.
"Please stop being a coward," said Howard, speaking to Congress. "You have the right and the position to do what you need to do to save other people."
Job Creation, Not Deficit Reduction
Barry Specter, a former teacher, said Congress should focus on job creation, not deficit reduction. At the state and federal levels, quests to balance budgets have dragged down employment. The public sector lost 20,000 jobs in October, while the private sector saw job growth, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Specter knows from experience the toll budget cuts can take. The 60-year-old from Pittsburgh was furloughed in July with 4,000 other teachers in Pennsylvania, in order to close a $4 billion shortfall.
"Being unemployed is a real blow, especially at my age. There aren't a whole lot of places even willing to consider me," Specter said.
Specter spent the bulk of his career in the private sector before moving into education 14 years ago. He fears another year without income will have a detrimental impact on calculating his pension.
While Specter expressed sympathy for his colleagues in education, he's concerned about the impact of cuts on students. Nearly $1 billion in state education cuts caused Specter's Steel Valley school district to lay off one-third of its workforce.
"It's even worse for the students because they'll never get that year back," Specter said.
Back at the Longworth Office Building, the protestor from Philadelphia had to lean on a stone banister as her fellow demonstrators sat down in protest. Lee still chanted along in solidarity.
"I'm fighting for my grandchildren's future," she said.
This article is from the project, "What Went Wrong: The Betrayal of the American Dream," a collaboration between Pulitzer Prize winners Donald Barlett and James Steele and the staff of the Investigative Reporting Workshop at the American University School of Communication.

Pinkeye Medicine Stops Frog Fungus
Contributing Monkie G Living Staff Monkies
Published on February 20, 2008
Filed Under Green Report / Media, Nature / Non Human Stories Tags frogs
With its annual $7 billion dollar revenue, the beauty industry feeds on our love for hair spray, creams, deodorant, cologne and make-up. Unfortunately, so does our skin. Dr. Don Colbert says that poisons and cancer-causing substances can be absorbed slowly over time through the skin and lungs, collecting in the central nervous system, tissues, and organs, creating toxicity in the body.
As it turns out, we have a few things in common with frogs. Interestingly enough, frogs have lungs; but they have simple lungs, which means they must absorb oxygen from air and water through their skin. And just like us, this absorption can be deadly. Chytrid fungus, or chytridiomycosis, is a fungus attacking the amphibian population via the skin. More than a quarter of frogs worldwide have died from the fungus found in ponds and other water bodies they habitat.
And though we have yet to discover a guaranteed cure for cancer, other than preventative measures, there is a successful cure for the frogs. Scientists have discovered the antibiotic chloramphenicol, more commonly known as the medicine for pinkeye, cures 100 percent of treated amphibians. However, as Professor Jean-Marc Hero from Griffith University in Queensland, Australia says, "We can save species from the brink of extinction, but we can't save species in the wild."
Looks like the only problem left, is finding all those frogs.

The History of Trader Vic's
Over 80 Years of Service
Trader Vic's Then & Now
Trader Vic's Wordwide has a rich and storied history of success and innovation that all began in 1934 when the ebullient Vic "The Trader" Bergeron built a cozy little saloon on San Pablo Avenue in Oakland, California that he called Hinky Dinks.
After embarking on an adventure to Cuba to refine his skills as a bartender and explore the subtleties of rums from around the world, The Trader eventually landed in Hawaii and completely immersed himself in island living and culture. Upon his return home, his objective was clear: inject the spirit of the island into our everyday lives.
In 1937, The Trader transformed Hinky Dinks into a tiki-bedecked tropical retreat aptly named Trader Vic's and put into practice his research on rums. Years ahead of his time, Vic began serving simmering plates of island-style cuisine, and Trader Vic's quickly became one of America's first fusion restaurant concepts. As his travels continued, Vic found himself along the Spice Route. Inspired by the flavors of the exotic global cuisines he found there, he began incorporating them into his dishes, famously using ingredients like green peppercorns and morels - a tradition that continues to this day.
Then one day in 1944, a bit of serendipity happened that would place The Trader at the forefront of rum-soaked cocktail mixology, earning him a place in history. He pulled down a bottle of 17-year-old Jamaican Rum from the bar, added a squeeze of lime, a dash of rock candy syrup, a splash of orange curacao, some French orgeat, and poured the concoction over cracked ice. He handed it to a friend who immediately exclaimed, "It's Mai Tai Roa Ae!" (Tahitian for "Out of this world - the best!"), and the first Mai Tai was born - Paradise In A Glass®.
As popularity of Vic's tiki haven grew, Trader Vic's successfully opened its first franchise in Seattle, Washington in 1940 and expanded to international shores in 1963 at London's Hilton Hotel on Park Lane. Following a booming success in the Middle East in 1994 with multiple restaurant openings, Trader Vic's introduced its new concept The Mai-Tai Lounge to the world opening in Dubai in 2007. This unique and exciting concept features freshly grilled bar bites and a bevy of Trader Vic's world-famous signature cocktails.
Today, the Trader Vic's family of restaurants is known as Trader Vic's Worldwide and is recognized across the globe. Taste The World® through exotic cuisines and happily imbibe from a collection of expertly crafted libations at Trader Vic's, the Home of the Original Mai Tai®.

BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) - A wall of British army steel prevented a small Protestant parade from passing a hostile Catholic neighborhood Wednesday as mass demonstrations by Northern Ireland's major Protestant brotherhood began against a backdrop of violence.
As a police spotter plane circled overhead, about 200 members of the Protestant brotherhood, called the Orange Order, paraded from their Ballynafeigh Orange Hall. Dressed in suits and orange vestments, the Orangemen were accompanied by four bands of accordion, fife and drum.
After less than a mile, they reached an impenetrable barrier on Ormeau Bridge. Beyond the bridge, guarded by police and soldiers, lay a half-dozen side streets called the Lower Ormeau, where hatred of the Orange Order runs high.
The Orangemen, as expected, refused to take a different route to downtown, where 10,000 members of their fraternal group were gathering for Belfast's mass parade in honor of Protestant King William of Orange, who defeated a Catholic foe at the Battle of the Boyne on July 12, 1690.
Instead they stood their ground and waited beneath banners portraying the victorious William, sword drawn atop a mythic white horse, and the British crown atop an open Bible - both favorite Orange symbols. "If God Be For Us, Who Can Be Against Us?" proclaimed one standard.
An Anglican minister, the Rev. William Hoey, stood in front of the wall to lead the crowd in the Lord's Prayer - and an attack on Catholic politicians who seek closer ties with the Republic of Ireland.
"There is no peace in this land so long as republicanism calls the shots," he said in reference to the most militant section of Catholic opinion. "We say to the government, take them on and put them down once and for all."
As happened last year, when authorities prevented the same small parade from reaching the main rallying point, the entire Belfast Orange organization - some 250 lodges and 150 bands - marched to a park directly across the river from the Catholic enclave to have lunch and hear speeches.
That move was only the latest in 10 days of efforts, mostly illegal and many violent, by Orangemen and anti-Catholic paramilitary groups to pressure British authorities into dropping restrictions on the order's long-held parade routes.
Overnight, violence escalated as thousands of Orangemen drank heavily around traditional bonfires of wood planks, furniture and tires.
In Larne, a mostly Protestant port town north of Belfast, a Protestant man was beaten up and shot through the back of the head in front of one bonfire crowd, who later fought police as they tried gain access to the body. Police said the victim was targeted as part of an ongoing bloody feud between members of two outlawed anti-Catholic groups, both of which are supposed to be observing cease-fires in support of Northern Ireland's 1998 peace accord.
The biggest outlawed gang, the Ulster Defense Association, staged so-called "shows of strength" - appearances of gun-toting masked members - at several bonfires. The most dramatic was on Belfast's Shankill Road, where four men and a woman fired automatic assault rifles and pistols into the night sky.
And in Portadown, a Protestant stronghold southwest of Belfast and epicenter of this month's turmoil, a mob of masked youths went straight from one midnight bonfire - where they had burned an effigy of a member of the province's mostly Protestant police force - to do battle with rows of heavily girded officers and soldiers.
In intense exchanges that followed for three hours, the security forces fired water cannons and volleys of plastic bullets at rioters. Police said 21 officers were wounded, including a policewoman struck in the face with a firecracker, as were five soldiers, one of them set alight by a gasoline bomb.
In hard-line Protestant parts of north Belfast, a crowd attacked paramedics trying to get to one emergency location and a crossbow bolt shattered the window of a passing car, cutting the female driver in the hand.

Brian Vickers will be sidelined for the remainder of the 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup season due to a blood clot in his right leg.
Fox Sports: NASCAR announced the news via Twitter on Monday afternoon:

From Nate Ryan of USA Today:

Bob Pockrass of Sporting News followed:

From NASCAR:

From Brian Vickers:
Thank you all for the many calls, emails, texts, tweets etc of support. Means a lot. Will be in NYC for @cgw tomorrow. Looking forward to it— Brian Vickers (@BrianLVickers) October 16, 2013
---End of update---
According to the staff of RacinToday.com, Vickers is upset about the health issues, but believes he will be back soon and better than ever:
If there's anything to be positive about with today's news it's that this is only a temporary setback, The timing for this is never good, but I'm glad we'll get it out of the way now and be ready to run for a championship with the Aaron's Dream Machine in 2014.
RacinToday noted that Dr. William Downey has placed the Michael Waltrip Racing star on blood thinning medication after an examination on Monday morning revealed the small blood clot in his right calf region. Vickers is eyeing a return before the 2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup season starts next February.
Blood clots have kept Vickers out of action in the past, as Bob Pockrass of Sporting News noted that he missed most of the 2010 season with the same issue.
Yes. Missed most of 2010 season b/c blood clots RT @awilson229: Isn't that the same thing that kept Vickers out in the past?— Bob Pockrass (@bobpockrass) October 14, 2013
RacinToday found that Michael Waltrip will drive the No. 55 Aaron's Dream Machine this coming weekend at Talladega Superspeedway and that a replacement driver for the remainder of 2013 would be announced in the future.
MWR co-owner Rob Kauffman made it clear that it wasn't the company's main concern at this point.
"We were just informed this morning and our concern is for Brian's health. Anything else will be worked out in due course."
Vickers won his first race in 75 attempts on July 14 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway and finished in the Top Five five times in the past two seasons, per Nate Ryan of USA Today.
According to Ryan, Vickers is slated to become the full-time driver of the MWR Aaron's-sponsored Camry beginning in 2014 after driving part-time for the team beginning in 2012.


text: DD is 8.5 months, she is BF and takes solids very well (if you don't offer her some, she will help herself to whatever is closest). DCP just called me and said that she has been pretty fussy today, running a slow grade fever 99.4, and has had several small, hard bms and she has been crying trying to pass them and at the last one when she wiped there was blood. She also said that she has just wanting to sleep most of the day. I am worried, I took her & DS to pedi yesterday (DS had sinus infection, DD was snotty) but she said dd looked fine, just a runny nose. I asked DCP to offer her some water to help her finish her bms and not to give any more food. The blood has me all freaked out thought, she couldn't have hurt herself when trying to pass the bm could she? Could being constipated cause her to have a slight fever? Maybe I am just overreacting because I'm not there to comfort her. She was having some problems with BMs before so I started adding water to her bottles (4oz ebm + 1.5oz water 3Xday). What else can I do?

New Order
I am sick of making decisions. Light blue or robin's egg blue? Iridescent gold overlay tablecloths or opaque bronze? And it is not just about wedding-related choices; it is the multitude of decisions I have to make each day in ordinary life. From the moment we stumble out of bed in the morning, deciding how we want our coffee and what outfit to wear, should we take the subway to work or walk – to the larger and more important decisions which we make daily in our business lives; our days are a knotted-ball rolled up of thousands of choices. Eventually, it can be overwhelming.
"I can't decide," I said to M as we tried to pick a cake for our wedding. Scrolling through hundreds of pictures of icing and flower covered cakes, two tier to massive ten-tier versions complete with a structurally sound support system of columns and beams, covered with lilacs and hydrangeas – a full garden atop a white mound of calorie-saturated dough; they all began to look the same. "We can do Swiss meringue buttercream icing with a white chocolate cake or, oh wait, how about scalloped ribbons made of fondant piping a French vanilla-bean exterior covered with nosegays and roses?" The pastry chef explained all of the options that were available, his description and excitement as gooey and as sweet as the icing.
I hate cake. A Ho-Ho or a Ding Dong or a friggin Twinkie, I do not care. It's not a life or death decision, it's friggin cake. I am just not a dessert person, leaving the expression "have your cake and eat too" to be that much more insignificant and illogical to me. I don't want my cake and I don't want to eat it. But faced with the endless array of wedding cake options, I turned to the caterer and said, "Just make it white and give me the cheapest option." My father smiled for the first time during the wedding planning process.
My lack of desire to make decisions has taken over the entirety of my life. "You decide," I said to M as we tried to pick a restaurant to have dinner with our friends. "I'll go wherever." My opinionated and selective nature has been muted – almost shut down entirely as I look to others to make the determination. I just want to go with the flow and have decisions made for me. M, happy to take the reigns, selected Café D'Alsace for dinner. Having perused the menu online at work, he emailed me his menu selection for the evening by mid-afternoon. "I can't wait 'til dinner," he exclaimed.
At the restaurant, M confirmed his selections, "Do you think I should get the Roasted Cod. I think that's what I want. Yep," he said as he glanced at the list of entrees, "that is definitely what I am getting." He closed his menu and took a sip of his martini. "What are you going to get? Get something which I like so I can try it." He was a kid in a candy shop.
When the waiter finally got to me for my order, M waited with bated breath to see what I would say. "You know what," I said to the waiter, "Just surprise me."
And that he did ---- with an amazing dish that I never would have ordered on my own. I didn't have to make a decision, I didn't have to weigh options, ponder what I was really in the mood for or have second thoughts after I placed my order. "Oh, wait, maybe I should have gotten the steak," M said regretfully re-thinking his earlier selection.
Ever since that night, I have been leaving my menu choices to the waiters/waitresses every time we go out to dinner. And no, they hardly ever bring me the most expensive option on the menu nor do they bring something odd like chicken gizzards and gravy. Usually it is something that wouldn't have jumped off the page at me, something I would overlook, but inevitably something which I am so thrilled to have tried.
Certainly life is free will, but every so often, it is amazing to relinquish that in the world of dining out on the Upper East Side.

THat is such a great idea to have the waiter decide. I have such trouble making decisions. One time I was in Target for nearly an hour trying to decide which white board to get and they only come in one color...WHITE!!!
Brilliant. I am going to do this tomorrow night at dinner. I make decisions all day at work and after work, my brain is FRIED!

Tree Pruning Standards
The adopted Pruning Standards were developed to improve the care of San Francisco's public trees, though these best practices can be used to improve the care of any tree in San Francisco. They were based on best practices developed by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) and American National Standard Institute (ANSI).
Most trees on public property are cared for by the city, with the exception of sidewalk trees. Though the majority of these trees (roughly 60K out of about 100K total) are the care responsibility of adjacent private property owners, it's important to note that they are public property and are regulated by the city. When working on these trees, it's important for property owners to understand and adhere to the Adopted Pruning Standards to ensure the tree stays healthy.
While not all trees need to be pruned frequently, adhering to a regular pruning schedule helps improve the health and structure, and therefore the lifespan, of all trees – not just street trees. It's always best to work with a Certified Arborist to ensure the best possible care of your trees. Certified Arborists can be found through the International Society of Arboriculture website or through the Friends of the Urban Forest's list of recommended arborists.
Remember: if you are responsible for the trees adjacent to your property, you are also responsible for any damages made by a contractor you hire. It's always best to hire a knowledgeable professional who understands city regulations.
A dynamic city like San Francisco requires the efficient use of clean, renewable energy to meet the needs of today and future generations. Our innovative policies and programs help San Franciscans use energy wisely, while saving money and reducing environmental impacts.
SF Environment aims to reduce travel-created carbon by getting people out of cars and instead traveling by walking, biking or public transit. We also are greening the City fleet of vehicles and encourage the public to reduce their impact by supporting cleaner fuels and vehicles.
Zero Waste
Imagine a world in which nothing goes to landfills or to incinerators. We think it is achievable, and SF Environment is doing everything we can to make it happen.
Toxics & Health
As the first city to adopt the Precautionary Principle, San Francisco strives to protect the health of its residents, visitors and the local environment. SF Environment develops programs and policies to help individuals and businesses make safer choices in products, practices and services.
Buildings & Environments
San Francisco is habitat for 800,000 people – meeting needs for space to work, play, and learn; for food, water, and air; for community with local flora and fauna. SF Environment provides support for urban agriculture and forestry and green buildings, helping residents and businesses harness environmental opportunities.
Education & Equity
SF Environment focuses on building community capacity - engaging people throughout the City's neighborhoods and providing them with the tools, education, and job opportunities to ensure that the places where we live, play, learn, and work are safe and healthy.
Climate Change
Reducing carbon emissions is central to ensuring a sustainable future for San Francisco. Climate change will bring unstable weather, rising sea levels and damage to our city's natural habitat and infrastructure. SF Environment is committed to mobilizing the City to deal with Climate Change.

A local real estate company will continue to provide the same service in Kalgoorlie-Boulder despite expanding into Perth.
Kalgoorlie Metro Property Group is the latest local business to open an office in Perth.
Director Mick Martell said the expansion wouldn't lead to any changes in the Kalgoorlie-Boulder office, with licensee Keren Briers and all the staff staying locally.
"We found people in Kalgoorlie were looking for something similar in Perth," he said.
"We had so many inquiries about property management and selling houses in Perth, so we though we thought it was time to make that move."

Requires Level 50

Prerequisites Edit
Objectives Edit
Turn in 10 Invader's Scourgestones.
Items Needed:
Quest Text Edit
An Invader's Scourgestone is the insignia of the Scourge's elite troops. These are sometimes found on the stronger of the troops positioned in the Plaguelands. Slaying such a creature is indeed a challenge, but one that should be relished with a commission to vanquish evil.
The Argent Dawn currently offers a valor token in exchange for ten of these insignia. Bring them to me here, and I will make sure you receive your just reward.
Details Edit
Reward Edit
Additional Notes Edit
- Many people decide to save their scourgestones and not turn them in until they are honored with the Argent Dawn. When you become honored, you no longer gain reputation killing non-elite Scourge.

By Helena Rodriguez: PNT columnist
When we lived in Abilene, Texas, my daughter, Laura, called me from a youth conference at the archdiocese in San Angelo and excitedly exclaimed, "I met The Pope!"
I was like "What?" and then I started rolling in laughter. When I told this to my friend, Debra Vasquez, who was the religious education director at our church, she nearly died of laughter, too.
"No, that couldn't have been The Pope," I told Laura. "There would have been thousands of people there," I said as I recalled a news story in 2002 when hundreds of thousands of people attended World Youth Day in Denver just to see John Paul II. The man Laura met in San Angelo that day was the bishop, Michael D. Pfeifer.
Bishop, Pope, what's the difference to a teenager? He was an important looking man with an odd-shaped hat.
But shortly after, I placed a framed photo of Pope John Paul II in Laura's bedroom and he became much more to her than just another man in a funny hat. He holds a special place in of our hearts, and in this day and age, when so many teenagers idolize self-absorbed, hip-hop and rap singers and money-hungry athletes trying to sell them a pair of sneakers for $200, teens can use more positive male role models.
Pope John Paul II was just that.
I was ecstatic last weekend when Laura saw me cutting out a huge color photo of Pope John Paul II from the Sunday newspaper, and she wanted it. I offered to laminate it for her. Then I pulled out the special book Laura bought me, "The Private Prayers of Pope John Paul II: Words of Inspiration," and read it.
What I loved most about the pope was his love for the Virgin Mary, an often misunderstood practice and a major factor which the Rev. Pat Roberson of the Christian Broadcasting Network said distinguishes Protestants from Catholics. Ironically, if anyone was able to blur the line between Protestants and Catholics, it was John Paul II.
In is own words, Robertson said of Pope John Paul II "…His personal magnetism brought together all Christians in new bonds of understanding…" And The Rev. Billy Graham said John Paul II was "the most influential voice for morality and peace in the world in the last 100 years." In fact, John Paul II was not afraid to tactfully speak out against the war in Iraq right in front of President Bush.
John Paul II renewed his devotion to the Virgin Mary after he was shot on May 13, 1981, which happened to be the feast of Our Lady of Fatima, the anniversary of the date the Virgin Mary reportedly appeared to three children in Portugal. Incredibly, the bullet just missed the pope's heart, hitting instead a Virgin Mary medal he wore. In 2000, John Paul II then consecrated the world to Mary and in 2002, he canonized an Indian peasant, Juan Diego, the first person to have reportedly seen Our Lady of Guadalupe, or the Virgin Mary, in Mexico.
When the sex abuse scandal rocked the Catholic church a few years ago, some critics said it was the beginning of the end of the world's oldest Christian organization. But with the evangelizing spirit of John Paul II as well as his breaking down of religious barriers, I don't think that will happen. It will be critical, however, for the church to pick a new pope of high integrity, faith and vision; one who will also lead by example. This will not be an easy robe to fill.

About Me
From 2007 to 2012 Peter worked as staff photographer for both Broadway Cares / Equity Fights AIDS and BroadwayWorld.com as well as a freelance photographer for Playbill.com From in-studio shoots of Original Cast recordings, to shooting hundreds of Broadway and Off Broadway red carpets, to covering the after parties for the Tony Awards. He had the honor of capturing the very moment Stephen Sondheim had a theater named after him as well as being the official wedding photographer for Avenue Q's puppets the day same sex marriage passed in New York.
His Broadway work has been seen on television (CNN, The Today Show, Good Morning America, The View, Theater Talk) as well as displayed in national publications (AP, Variety, New York Times, The NY Post, NY Daily News, Time Out Magazine, Los Angeles Times, Boston Globe, The Washington Post, Next Magazine and PerezHilton.com)
He photographed as well as designed both The Women of Rock of Ages and The Men of Rock of Ages calendars to benefit BC/EFA.

In 2013, the Times Square Alliance asked permission to hang the photos in the Times Square Visitor Center. Now millions of tourists from all over the globe will see these images upon their first visit to New York.
This year has brought a lot of surprising directions for business as well. From designing a marketing campaign and clothing line for Mark Fisher Fitness, creating the visual art for Broadway's official Spiderman: Turn Off The Dark 2013 calendar, to retouching production photos for 2013's Tony Winner for Best Musical, Kinky Boots and Rocky on Broadway.

Beneath a Starlet Sky : The New York Times bestselling authors of Celebutantes return with a dazzling new novel set among the star-studded crowds of the Cannes Film Festival, where everyone's hoping to discover, sign, screw or become the Next Big Thing. And a three-picture deal would be nice. Lola Santisi—CEO of a struggling fashion line, reformed Actorholic and daughter of Hollywood Royalty—is now not only bicoastal, she's Bi-Lolar: That is the condition which causes her to swing like a pendulum between the opposing poles of the fashion world in New York and the real world with her Doctor Boyfriend in Los Angeles. She hardly knows which shoe fits her anymore: the Louboutin stiletto or the Croc. As Lola tries to launch Julian Tennant's new dress line, it looks like they're about to get their next big break: his wedding dresses have been chosen to feature in the top film at the Cannes Film Festival. And suddenly Lola is staging a full-blown couture show on a yacht – in the middle of the Med. Think those super models had trouble walking down the catwalks at Fashion Week? With an unexpected finale twist, this time it's Lola who's tumbling off the runway. Having recently endured a disastrous break-up with Lola's brother Christopher, Kate Woods, Lola's BFF and CAA's rising star agent, is newly single, and focused 24-7 on her clients. The only thing worse than thinking it was a good idea for Kate to date Lola's brother, is thinking it was a good idea for Kate to put one of her most loose-cannon clients, Nic Knight, in Lola's father's movie. Among Kate's other mega star clients is Saffron Sykes whose appearance on the cover of Vain magazine in Julian Tennant could be the difference between Julian Tennant, Inc. weathering the economy or going bust.As Lola fights to survive the Cannes Film Festival, will she get swept into the French Riviera's riptide of glamour and superficiality? Are real love and couture mutually exclusive? Or can Lola have it all – the good doctor and her Louboutins. With her father and brother vying for the same prize, her mother starring in her new reality show, and one heartbroken girlfriend about to declare motherhood, it's all on Lola to come up with the answers. And it's going to take more than one of her mother's prosperity chants to save the day.
