We Fail to Respect Nature's Rights at Our Own Peril, New Report Warns
Report released at COP 16 offers paradigm shifting climate solutions
December 6, 2010, Cancun, Mexico – As the COP16 climate talks entered their second week, three civil society groups released a report entitled, "Does Nature Have Rights: Transforming Grassroots Organizing to Protect the People and the Planet." The report, compiled by Global Exchange, the Council of Canadians and Fundacion Pachamama, sheds light on "the Rights of Nature," a paradigm-shifting approach to legislating resource use. Illuminating essays by Uruguayan author Eduardo Galeano, social and environmental activists Maude Barlow, Shannon Biggs, and others demonstrate the need to broaden legal frameworks to recognize ecological limits, natural laws, and the interdependency of all life.
Out of a landmark gathering of social movements in Bolivia last April emerged the Cochabamba People's Agreement, honoring the Rights of Nature; this document was later merged into the UNFCCC negotiating text. When the text was released to delegates at COP 16, however, all reference to Cochabamba had been removed.
Shannon Biggs, Community Rights Director with Global Exchange, states, "The Rights of Nature offers a platform for action to challenge the market-based approach that dominates the UN COP process."
As the report outlines, "Entire human societies, our global economic system and indeed our structures of law, place humans not just apart from, but actually above nature. But what is climate change but Nature telling us we have lived beyond the limits of nature's law?" This report calls for action from the community-level to the U.N., and offers case studies of legal changes already underway in favor the Rights of Nature. Last month, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania became the first major U.S. city to ban natural gas drilling while elevating community decision-making and the rights of nature over corporate 'rights.'"
While the number of communities taking this approach to ecosystem protection is growing, it is also being actively pursued at the national level. In 2008, Ecuador became the first nation to include the Rights of Nature in its Constitution.
"As a country devastated by oil exploitation, industrial agriculture and international debt, Ecuador needs a bulwark against the corporate plunder of our natural riches. Recognizing the Rights of Nature in our national laws begins to provide that protection," said Belen Paez of Fundacion Pachamama. "In order to survive, we need a change in the human relationship with the natural world from one of exploitation to one of democracy with other beings," says Maude Barlow, national chairperson with the Council of Canadians, "If we are members of the earth's community, then our rights must be balanced against those of plants, animals, rivers and ecosystems."

Talking to committed exercisers about the benefits of physical activity is like introducing a dedicated shopper to the joys of an anniversary sale at Nordstrom™. After all, those who exercise are no strangers to the freedom elicited by movement or to the sense of accomplishment felt at the end of a long walk or strength workout.
Those uninitiated in the pleasurable rewards of regular physical activity, however, remain skeptical. After all, how can something as basic as exercise not only improve one's life today, but perhaps even also save one's life tomorrow?
Researchers have sought to answer this question for years. In 1996, the Surgeon General's Report on Physical Activity was released, detailing the research behind the benefits associated with exercise. This report goes beyond the anecdotal "it-just-feels-good" reason for exercising.
What follows are the conclusions of years of research on the health benefits of physical activity.
While not all types of exercise are appropriate for everyone, everyone can benefit from some type of exercise. After all, exercise is not limited to running or aerobics.
You can try water workouts or seated-chair classes. You can play softball or squash, go in-line skating or even take a turn or two around the mall, provided you don't spend all your time lingering in front of shop windows. And if you think activities such as ballroom dancing or tending the garden don't qualify as exercise, think again.
The primary factor in choosing an activity should be whether or not you enjoy it. Of course, an okay from your doctor also is advisable, particularly for men over 45 and women over 55, or those with special medical conditions or risk factors for heart disease.
How much one exercises is an individual decision, but numerous research studies indicate that hours of intense exercise are not necessary to reap the benefits detailed in the box above. In fact, health specialists now recommend that most adults accumulate 30 minutes or more of moderate physical activity on most days of the week.
Moderate activity is any activity that raises your heart rate and gets the blood pumping without leaving you out of breath or exhausted. So, rather than blocking off a large portion of one's day, 10 minutes of walking at lunch and another 20 minutes after dinner, for example, is all it takes.
For those who are so inclined, exercising at slightly higher intensities for longer periods of time can bring about even greater health benefits. Less important than the intensity or duration of each exercise session is making the commitment to perform some type of physical activity every day, whether you focus on aerobic, strength or flexibility training. Soon, the exhilaration of movement and the empowerment that comes with greater fitness and health will have you hooked on exercise.
It won't happen overnight, and there may be some aspects you find less enjoyable (some people just can't get over the sweating part of it), but the sense of feeling better, of feeling healthier, will overpower any negative attitudes toward exercise that you may still be harboring.
Don't worry. These, too, will pass. So, isn't it about time you got started?

PepsiCo Adds to Jargon in Aim to 'Snackify' Drinks
Remember the simple pleasures of taking part in the Pepsi challenge? All you, the consumer, had to do was to pick their cola in a blind tasting test. Pepsi won every time -– at least when it was broadcast in a television advert.
But those halcyon days are long gone. Just a few years after Coca Cola branched out into bottled water, PepsiCo is turning the fizzy drink world on its head by attempting to "snackify" its drinks.
As revealed by The Wall Street Journal, PepsiCo now believes there is demand in the marketplace for a pureed fruit product that is, well, more snack than beverage.
From next month, Tropolis, an 80-calorie fruit puree, will be unveiled in the MidWest by Pepsi's Tropicana division. It will cost between $2.49 and $3.49 for a four-pack, with flavors coming in cherry, apple and grape.
The attempt to convert the use of "snack" from a noun into a clumsy verb has been lampooned by penny-arcade.com, an achingly cool website for comic book enthusiasts.
One character opines: "Have you tried Tropolis, the incredible new slurrified Frut compound? Tropicana says they've drinkified snacks -– and I think they're right."
Another shadowy caricature, named Jacob Crunchner, says: "Five years ago, I set out to drinkify snacks. What I didn't know, what I could not have foreseen, was that in doing so I would also snackify drinks."

Cecilia Preciado Burciaga, a former CSU Monterey Bay administrator who was a nationally respected leader in civil rights and higher education, died Monday in Menlo Park after a seven-month battle with cancer. She was 67 years old.
Mrs. Burciaga, revered as a relentless crusader for Latino causes, served under two U.S. presidents, first as commissioner for the National Advisory on Women (1977-80) under President Jimmy Carter, then as part of the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanic Americans (1994-2010) under President Bill Clinton.
In 2010 she appeared on Latina Magazine's Pride of the Century list as one of the Top 50 Latina Women of the Year.
Her husband, Jose Antonio "Tony" Burciaga, was an accomplished Chicano artist, poet and writer who explored issues of Chicano identity and American society. He died of cancer in October 1996.
"They were kind of a legendary couple," said professor emeritus Amalia Mesa-Bains, CSUMB's former head of Visual and Public Arts and a 30-year friend of Mrs. Burciaga. "Both were very active in cultural politics, arts and higher education.
"Cecilia was a strong, strong person. Very tough," Mesa-Bains said. "She became accomplished very young and truly became a legend herself because she was capable of so much leadership. She took things to the highest level as an advocate for the Latino community, and also for women."
Mrs. Burciaga was a graduate of CSU Fullerton and earned a master's degree in policy studies in higher education from UC Riverside.
She worked as a foreign service intern for the U.S. Information Agency, a program officer for the Interagency Committee on Mexican-American Affairs and a commissioner for the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights.
She became an associate dean and development officer for student resources at Stanford University, where she spent 20 years and became its highest-ranking Latino administrator. Students, faculty and staff staged a protest when her position was eliminated in spring 1994.
In November of that year, Mrs. Burciaga was hired to serve on the founding team of CSU Monterey Bay, which opened in September 1995.
"I also was with her as part of the founding faculty here, and my memories are of a person who was completely focused on helping students become successful," said Marsha Moroh, dean of CSUMB's College of Science, Media Arts and Technology.
Moroh said CSUMB's philosophy of serving the underserved proved to be a great fit for her former colleague.
"I think she really found her niche here because our campus vision really meshed with her own beliefs," she said.
Among Mrs. Burciaga's earliest duties at the university were helping to review 3,000 applications for faculty positions and developing a residential learning program.
"She had an unshakable focus on student success, especially first-generation Latino students," said Moroh.
She served as executive assistant to CSUMB's first president, Peter Smith, but was dismissed from that job in 1999. Her dismissal became a key part of a lawsuit against Smith and the university, which included two other Latino plaintiffs, Bert Rivas and Octavio Villalpondo.
An out-of-court settlement included a total payment of $1 million to the three plaintiffs, plus an agreement from the university to establish a $1.5 million scholarship fund for low-income students on the Central Coast.
Mrs. Burciaga continued with the university until 2002 as a high-level administrator in Student Affairs.
"She was a person of leadership in the Latino community long before it became fashionable," Mesa-Bains said. "If things were unjust, unfair, not right, Cecilia would take up the cause and she wouldn't back down until the problem was fixed. I would consider her one of the people who most embodied the movement toward justice."
Among Mrs. Barciaga's survivors are her adult children, Antonio Jr. and Rebeca, who established a tribute to her at www.caringbridge.org. Funeral arrangements are pending. The family said a memorial service is likely to be scheduled at the Carmel Mission.

Legal Disclosure
HIV Disclosure Policies and Procedures
If your HIV test is positive, the clinic or other testing site will report the results to your state health department. They do this so that public health officials can monitor what's happening with the HIV epidemic in your city and state. (It's important for them to know this, because Federal and state funding for HIV/AIDS services is often targeted to areas where the epidemic is strongest.)
Your state health department will then remove all of your personal information (name, address, etc.) from your test results and send the information to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). CDC is the Federal agency responsible for tracking national public health trends. CDC does not share this information with anyone else, including insurance companies. For more information, see CDC's Questions about Privacy, Insurance, and Cost.
Many states and some cities have partner-notification laws—meaning that, if you test positive for HIV, you (or your healthcare provider) may be legally obligated to tell your sex or needle-sharing partner(s). In some states, if you are HIV-positive and don't tell your partner(s), you can be charged with a crime. Some health departments require healthcare providers to report the name of your sex and needle-sharing partner(s) if they know that information—even if you refuse to report that information yourself.
Some states also have laws that require clinic staff to notify a "third party" if they know that person has a significant risk for exposure to HIV from a patient the staff member knows is infected with HIV. This is called duty to warn. The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program requires that health departments receiving money from the Ryan White program show "good faith" efforts to notify the marriage partners of a patient with HIV/AIDS.
Disclosure Policies in Correctional Facilities
If you are serving time in a jail or prison, your HIV status may be disclosed legally under the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) Standard for Occupational Exposure to Bloodborne Pathogens. State or local laws may also require that your HIV status be reported to public health authorities, parole officers spouses, or sexual partners.

Pelosi: Gov't should probe people opposed to Ground Zero mosque
posted at 9:30 am on August 18, 2010 by Ed Morrissey
Of course! What better way to defend the First Amendment freedom of religion than to have the Speaker of the House ask the federal government investigate those exercising their First Amendment right to free speech? Nancy Pelosi just guaranteed at least two new news cycles for a story, tossing even more gasoline on the fire than Barack Obama's pas de deux this weekend:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday said she supports an investigation into groups opposing the building of a mosque near ground zero in New York.
Pelosi told San Francisco's KCBS radio that "there is no question there is a concerted effort to make this a political issue by some."
"I join those who have called for looking into how is this opposition to the mosque being funded," she said. "How is this being ginned up?"
Does that mean that Pelosi wants Harry Reid investigated, too? Rep. Michael Arcuri (D-NY)? This should be fun!
One might think that Pelsoi would want a peek at where the Park51 will be getting its funds to build the mosque, especially since the State Department is footing the bill for a tour conducted by the imam at the head of the project. Instead, Pelosi wants the power of the government directed at people taking political positions. That goes well beyond any supposed extremism by the mosque's opponents, most (but not all) of whom acknowledge that the property owners have the right to build on their lot anything that meets code, but want to express their opposition to the plans. Pelosi would take this opportunity to use the government as a thought police to silence dissent.
Incredibly, in the same interview, Pelosi also says this:
Still, Pelosi said she'd like to see the issue determined by New Yorkers and slip off the national stage.
Yes, and a federal probe into political speech will certainly accomplish that, Speaker Pelosi. Is the leadership of the Democratic Party really this clueless all of the time, or did something get into the water system in Washington DC this past week?
Update: The Daily Kos gets one right on this issue.

A picture sure would be helpful.
I love making these. Great gift ideas. Good use for scrapes of material.
I make these also. I cut mine a little different: main fabric 6 x 5 1/2, lining 8 x 5 1/2. I do it this size so the trim is a little wider. But they are a lot of fun to make and so quick.
This is the day that the Lord hath made, we will rejoice and be glad in it.

A Letter from the U.S. Secretary of Education
April 6, 2004
Dear Colleague:
Recently, we celebrated the second anniversary of the passage of the historic No Child Left Behind Act. In the last two years, our nation has made tremendous progress toward our common goal of offering educational excellence to every child.
Thank you, our nation's teachers, for your daily efforts to reach students in your classrooms. Great teachers are the key to unlocking the potential in every child and finally closing the staggering achievement gap. Regardless of circumstances, all children deserve an excellent education.
Here at the U.S. Department of Education, we recognize that the real hard work is in the classroom. To support state and local efforts, we have updated our No Child Left Behind: A Toolkit for Teachers to include more guidance on the law and how it supports teachers and schools. We have also included valuable information on special education, English language learners, scientifically based research, using data to inform instruction, and examples of interesting initiatives to improve teaching and learning. I hope you find it helpful.
In his fiscal year 2005 budget request, President Bush is seeking a record $5.1 billion in support of teachers through training, recruitment and retention incentives, loan forgiveness, tax relief, and more. No nation has ever before so wholly committed itself to the goal of educating every child. Working together—from the federal level to the state, from districts to schools, and finally to each and every classroom—I know we can achieve this goal.
Thank you again for your dedicated service to America's children.
Rod Paige

John Frederick
UTSA names provost and VP for academic affairs
By Tim Brownlee
Assistant Director of Public Affairs
(Dec. 13, 2007)--UTSA President Ricardo Romo announced today the appointment of John Frederick as provost and vice president for academic affairs, the university's second-highest ranking official. Frederick will begin his duties Feb. 18.
Romo selected Frederick from three finalists after a nationwide search netted 71 candidates for the position. Frederick succeeds Julius Gribou, who served since May as interim provost and vice president for academic affairs.

A native of San Antonio and 1976 graduate of Jefferson High School, Frederick comes to UTSA from the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges (NASULGC), where he was a senior fellow.
He served as executive vice president and provost at the University of Nevada, Reno from 2001 to 2007. At NASULGC, he helped implement the Science and Mathematics Teacher Imperative, a national effort to enhance the quality and production of math and science teachers at the middle and secondary school levels.
"I am delighted to announce Dr. Frederick's appointment as the university's new provost," said Romo. "He is a gifted scholar, educator and academic leader. He is highly respected by faculty colleagues and peers in the field of chemistry, and I am confident he will provide great leadership for UTSA as our next provost."
Frederick said, "I am thrilled to be returning to San Antonio and joining the UTSA team. President Romo has set an exciting agenda for the future and I look forward to contributing to his effort to build a first-class research university that will serve the higher education needs of South Texas."
The UTSA provost, who reports to the president, is responsible for academic leadership in ensuring curricula, teaching and research of superior quality; working with Faculty Senate on matters of general welfare for the university; building and overseeing the university budget; advising the president on plans, policies and operations; and representing the university in the president's absence at state and regional organizations.
Additionally, the provost oversees all aspects of the professional and academic accreditation of academic programs, academic space, faculty development and academic personnel, including coordination within the University of Texas System and with the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.
James McDonald, UTSA associate vice provost for academic and faculty support and chair of the 19-member university provost search committee, forwarded Romo an unranked list of three finalists at the end of the committee's deliberations. Each finalist met with faculty, students, staff and community members in sessions at the 1604 and Downtown campuses. The search process was aided by Greenwood & Associates Inc., a Miramar Beach, Fla., executive search, consulting and training firm.
"We were privileged to have such an impressive pool of applicants with a rich array of skills, talents and experience," said McDonald. "John Frederick is an outstanding leader who will help steward UTSA toward a new level of competitiveness as an outstanding undergraduate, graduate and research-intensive institution."
Frederick received a bachelor's degree in chemistry (1980) from Princeton University, and master's (1982) and Ph.D. (1985) degrees in chemistry from Harvard University. Before serving as provost at University of Nevada, Reno, he was a professor and chair of the Department of Chemistry. As a theoretical chemist, he initiated and directed the chemical physics Ph.D. program (1990-2001).
Frederick's honors include UNR's Alan Bible Teaching Excellence Award (1995) and the F. Donald Tibbitts Distinguished Teacher Award (1996). In 1996, he was named Outstanding Faculty Member by the Nevada Board of Regents.
He has published more than 40 refereed articles in leading chemical physics journals in topics ranging from the spectroscopy and dynamics of large conjugated molecular systems to the formulation of a phase-space representation of quantum mechanics with work supported by more than $2.5 million in competitive funding. He was a visiting scientist at the Institute for Molecular Science, Okazaki, Japan; Centro de Investigacion y de Estudios Avanzados del I.P.N., México City; Moscow State University, Russia; and the University of Texas at Austin.
Additionally, Frederick served on the Academic Affairs Council in the Nevada System of Higher Education, the Council for Academic Affairs in NASULGC and Nevada Governor Jim Gibbons' transition team for education policy and priorities.

Reviews of this property
Nice small flat.
Perfect location to start some walks around the city.
Even Arthur's seat can be reached easily from there.
You can find a lot of bars, restaurants and clubs in that area.
Altogether a perfect spot to explore Edinburgh.
Our stay at the Castle View Studio Apartment was fantastic. Barry and his team were excellent, making themselves available to us in any way we needed for the duration of our stay.
The apartment itself was spacious, open, well-lit and comfortable. The highlight was definitely the admittedly small but lovely balcony, that provided a perfect view of Edinburgh Castle while also looking down on the charming Castle Wynd. Despite proximity to a busy square with closed windows the apartment was near-silent, which was important for a light sleeper like myself. All necessary amenities were provided, including TV, dishwasher, washing machine, fridge, stove, and well-stocked kitchen appliances and cutlery. The bed was quite comfortable, as was the sofa. Highest marks for location; situated at Grassmarket, it was walking distance to most major sights and within a 5 minute walk of excellent restaurants, cafes and bars.
I would certainly go out of my way to stay at this apartment again, given how much my partner and I loved being their. Highly recommended!
had a great stay in castle view apartment, its situated on grassmarket which is fab for resturants pubs and shops, not to mention a good view of the castle which is as special at night, the apartment is clean and tidy with everything in it that you would need and want a very comfortable stay
We had a great stay in Edinburgh and Castle View Studio Apartment. The apartment was perfect. We will highly recommend the apartment to whoever is about to visit Edinburgh.
Very nice apartment in a perfect location.
View of the Castle, Top 20 pubs within 5 minutes walking distance, still very quiet.
The handling by the boys very friendly and flexible.
We had a great week in Edinburgh. 100% recommendation.
Sehr nette Wohnung in perfekter Lage.
Blick auf die Burg, 20 Top-Pubs in 5 Minuten Gehentfernung, trotzdem sehr ruhig.
Die Abwicklung durch die Jungs sehr freundlich und flexibel.
Wir hatten eine tolle Woche in Edinburgh. 100% Weiterempfehlung.
Charming apartment very well furnished and very well located in the center but quiet.
If I had to go back to Edinburgh, I relouerai!
Charmant appartement très bien fourni et très bien situé en plein centre mais au calme.
Si je devais retourner à Edimbourgh, je le relouerai !
The apartment has a very central location and is nice and tidy, it has only one room so it is best suited for two people.
A really nice apartment, which is very centrally located. On the "balcony" quite fit almost 2 chairs, the view of the castle lit up at night is very beautiful. Since our flight was delayed and we have found the address is not the same, we were able to check in until after 20 clock and had to pay for an extra 20 pounds.
Ein wirklich sehr schönes Appartement, welches sehr zentral gelegen ist. Auf den "Balkon" passen ganz knapp 2 Stühle, die Aussicht auf die nachts beleuchtet Burg ist aber sehr schön. Da unser Flug Verspätung hatte und wir die Adresse nicht gleich gefunden haben, konnten wir erst nach 20 Uhr einchecken und mussten dafür 20 Pfund extra bezahlen.
We spent three nights in Edinburgh and were very pleased with the apartment and the location. Everything was very clean, nice and practical. However the staircase felt less inviting, which draws down the grade.
We enjoyed ourselves very much. The apartment is centrally located, from where the main attractions are easily accessible on foot. Nevertheless, it is quiet. In the rooms, everything is there that you need. Over Easter it was very cold, but we had in the apartment warm and cuddly. When we wanted on the day of the return flight to stay in the apartment in the afternoon, there was no problem. No additional charges will remain as we could. One comes out of the front door and has many restaurants, pubs and small shops around the corner. Highly recommended.
Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Das Apartment liegt zentral, von dort aus sind die wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten zu Fuß problemlos erreichbar. Trotzdem ist es ruhig. In den Räumen ist alles vorhanden, was man braucht. Über Ostern war es sehr kalt, aber wir hatten es in der Wohnung warm und kuschlig. Als wir am Tag des Rückflugs bis nachmittags im Apartment bleiben wollten, gab es kein Problem. Ohne zusätzliche Gebühren konnten wir bleiben. Man kommt aus der Haustür und hat viele Restaurants, Pubs und auch kleine Läden ums Eck. Sehr empfehlenswert.

Pitbulls found at murder scene given other dogs to eat
ONEIDA COUNTY, Idaho - The Oneida County sheriff said the 63 pit bulls recovered from last week's triple murder likely fed on other dogs.
The animals come from a dog-fighting compound and marijuana grow operation near Holbrook. Three people were shot to death there Thursday.
"Occasionally they will grind up the meat of a dog that dies and feed to the other dogs," said Sheriff Jeff Semrad in an email to Local News 8. "We found a dead dog in the freezer and a grinder nearby."
The Idaho Humane Society said Tuesday that the pit bulls need a lot of medical help.
The Pocatello Animal Shelter said it learned Wednesday that one pit bull died while at the Idaho Humane Society shelter in Boise.
One died before the animal shelter arrived at the home on Monday, and one more had to be euthanized at the shelter later that night.
The IHS said said it found the dogs to be "in very poor body condition." Most of the dogs are underweight and suffering from malnutrition. Many of them have open cuts and extensive scarring from old wounds and have skin, eye, and ear ailments resulting from neglect of their basic care. A few dogs have old injuries of broken bones that were left untreated.
Despite their obvious neglect and poor treatment, the IHS said it found the majority of the dogs to be friendly and accepting of handling by people. Further behavioral evaluations will be completed once the dogs' more pressing medical needs have been addressed, it said in a news release.
The IHS is not yet able to accept offers of hands-on assistance for these dogs. Donations for the dogs' care, feeding and veterinary expenses are welcome and can be made at the IHS website at www.idahohumanesociety.org. At this time, the IHS is not seeking foster homes for these dogs and there is no timeline available for when any of the dogs will be available for adoptive homes, but the shelter will make the public aware when any of the dogs may be ready for adoption through the media and the IHS website.
The two children, one 2 years old and the other 2 months old, found near one of the bodies are safe and with family, the Oneida County Sheriff's Office said. The baby was found under the arm of her mother, Yavette Chivon Carter, one of the victims, who was protecting her when she died.
The other murder victims were Brent L. Christensen and Trent Jon Christensen. Although autopsies on the bodies have been completed, the results aren't being released to the public.
Eleven different law enforcement agencies are helping investigate the murders.
The sheriff's office is looking for the driver of a red semi-tractor that has been seen at the home this past week. It is bob-tailed and wasn't pulling a trailer. The driver is not a suspect, but may have information for investigators.
In addition, the sheriff's office is asking anyone who may have attended the Easter party at the home on Sunday, March 31, to contact it at (208) 766-2251.

Exclusive Details! Racy Photos Of 15-Year-Old Angelina Jolie Are Up For Auction!
We know Angelina Jolie had a wild past — but now the whole world can bid on sexy photos she took as a teenager!
This has got to be so embarrassing for mom of six, Angelina Jolie!
Bikini-clad photos that the actress posed for — when she was only 15! — and which were taken by photographer Harry Langdon, are now for sale on the auction Web site profilesinhistory.com.
And we bet Angelina never dreamed she would fall in love with Brad Pitt and become as famous as she is now when she took these!
Auction cataloger Ryan Dohm tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY, "The photos are unusual in the fact that she is young and Langdon shot her at a young age. They are stunningly done."
In the photos, Angelina is wearing a bikini, on all fours, and has wet hair! Other photos of Angie are headshots, but the two very racy ones, taken in black and white, are up for auction, with bidding starting at $400-$600.
Profiles in History, the Calabasas, CA auction house which is selling the photographs, says they are "the world's largest auctioneer of original Hollywood memorabilia." Do you think Angelina will just buy them back herself so that she can own them? —Corynne Steindler

text: Wow. I've been reading incredible RR's and the best are ones, like yours, with so much soul and insight. It's incredible to hear how this has added more significance to your life story. The unique factor of your Panigale has certainly raised some eyebrows for those like myself that have slowly gotten away from sport bikes and also made me question why we can't do rides like this if we put our minds to it. Then I consider retreat back to my big comfy riding position and seat. But it's good to know I shouldn't automatically dismiss the idea. Speaking of raising eyebrows, I'm excited to hear about your time with Ducati at COT. Remember what you've done here and consider offering them with a thrilling adventure through Europe. Remind them you just need to find a bike for the journey. I've taken a road trip through Europe and I suggest at some point you drive the San Bernindino Pass, no regrets. Probably the best road I've ever been on. The nurburgring is worth seeing and driving, but as I drove the track in my comfy cage and passed motorbikes I couldn't help but worry for their safety. I know my warning should lead you the right way direction though :) I may be moving to Costa Mesa in the next few months so ill have to watch for adventures you take in and around Southern CA. Lastly, I found the part in minneapolis interesting. I've known John Meyer for some time and when he started DOOM I knew he would do with it what he does with most things in life. He really has put 150% into that and it's great to see what it's become.

Hi All
We installed a new package of bees on April 2nd and they are happy and building comb and bringing in pollen.. Right now they are working on building comb on three of the bars in the back third of the hive and I assume they would be building brood comb. We've read that it's best to have the brood comb in the front third of the hive close to the entrance. Our question is, can/should be move the bars that they are now building comb on toward the front of the hive so they will build the brood comb there instead of the back of the hive. If so would we move the three bars all the way to the front at once or move it a few inches at a time.
Our hive is 36 inches long and the bars are all 1 3/8 inches in width. Maybe I should replace the front 1 3/8 inch bars (those without comb) with 1 1/4 inch bars to better encourage brood comb building.
Thanks in advance for your response.
Steve & Jeannie

They trailed most of yesterday's game by 15 points before making it respectable...of course it was an preseason game but who cares...Laker diehearts do believe me and they are concerned.. With that being said>> Kobe and Mihm for Rip, Nazr, Flip, Dupree and 2nd round draft pick 2013...Ok I realize that is not enough...If I were Buss I would turn it down too.

We had a nice stay in the apartment. Our host was very friendly and gave us information about Porto. The apartment was, apart from the bathroom, tidy and clean.
Great stay in Porto. Joao perfect home. As for the really great apartment, tastefully decorated, impeccably impeccable. We maintain this address and advise us. Joao Thanks again. Armelle and François
Super séjour à Porto. Accueil parfait de Joao. Quant à l'appartement vraiment super, aménagé avec goût, d'une propreté irreprochable. Nous gardons cette adresse et nous la conseillons .Merci encore à Joao. Armelle et François
We had a great time! The apartment is very well located, a few steps from the Douro and not far from downtown and the historic district. João our host gave us a warm welcome and was always available and full of good advice. Apart from work can be a bit annoying (the windows do not have double glazing) in the street during our stay, everything was pushed recommend it!
Nous avons passé un séjour formidable !
L'appartement est très bien situé, a quelques pas du Douro et non loin du centre ville et du quartier historique.
João notre hôte nous a réservé un accueil chaleureux et s'est toujours montré disponible et plein de bons conseils.
Mis a part des travaux parfois un peu gênants (les fenetres ne disposent pas de double vitrage) dans la rue durant notre séjour, tout me pousse a le recommander !
Reviews for this host's other properties
The appartment was really nice and just like the pictures! The renters of the appartment were very nice and always available for help, the communication was good. It's a 15 minute walk to the city center, so this was just fine. The connection with the airport was good as well. We really enjoyed our stay!
The apartment was really clean and tidy. Its the same as the pictures - really nice!
The service from the city apartment team was excellent. Absolut friendly and the service was perfect. You can walk to the centre in 15-20 minutes, no problem.
Only a few secondes from the apartment is a baker and 5-10 minutes to walk is the next supermarket. With the unterground you are in 20 minutes on the beach.
I had a great time in porto

I think it's ****ing stacked. $150 per team, 8 teams (2 people pulled out last second).
1st place- 70% of team AND league fees ($1/transaction).
2nd place- 30/30%
3rd place gets their team fee back, so the 70% comes out of 7/8 teams.

Tribute to race hate victim
posted by: Tippa Naphtali
published: 18th February 2006
Any news or updates listed at the foot of this item
A-Level student Anthony Walker, aged 18, died in hospital after a gang of up to four white men attacked him in Huyton, Merseyside in July 2005. He had been taunted at a bus stop with his white girlfriend and a male cousin. They fled but were set upon in a park.
As the couple waited for a bus outside the Huyton Park pub with Mr Walker's cousin they were subjected to a "torrent of racial abuse" by a man in his 20s wearing a hooded top.
Anthony and his companions did not retaliate to the abuse and left to find another bus stop. But they were followed and as they walked through McGoldrick Park they were attacked by a gang of three or four men.
Anthony's girlfriend and cousin saw a man carrying an axe bludgeon him, and ran to get help. When they returned minutes later they found him slumped on the ground with massive head injuries.
A tribute website has been set up in memory of Anthony

Danco - Another Antarctica Climb
Trip Start Feb 01, 2005
388Trip End Dec 31, 2020
Each evening a proposed days activities sheet is posted up on a board and we have a briefing meeting of what we should expect. Then quite often due to weather or landing conditions it all changes - this makes each day exciting!
After Breakfast we are told to be ready by 9.00am for a landing on Danco Island. The whole gearing up process is much smoother now – we have it down to a fine art. Pull on the waterproof pants, pull on the boots and tuck the waterproof pants back down over making sure it is all sealed, do up all fasteners on jackets, put on hat, neck warmer and gloves, put camera and water bottle around neck and last of all put on the life jacket. Then it is turn your tag to show you are leaving the boat, plod through the bowl of disinfectant and stand ready to board the zodiac.
The weather has changed back to being pleasantly cold with patches of sunshine weakly breaking through.
Danko Island provided another hike to a vantage point. A lot less people took the hike this time and when we had puffed and panted our way up to the top along the zigzag snow path, forged by our expedition leader John, we found a quiet solitude not yet experienced on this trip. With a gorgeous vista below us of ice, snow, mountains and penguins, we sat on the ice and just - enjoyed. No wind, and no noise except the distance gunfire crack of calving ice.
We took another ice slide down the mountain, as a quicker way down, and it was so exhilarating! Boots and pants end up with ice down them, but who cares when you are having fun! Mind you our cameras take a hiding, also ending up covered with ice, luckily our gear is very modest compared to most. At times we consider our lack of lens power, and of a possible upgrade, then remember how rough we are and how attractive they would be in some of the less salubrious places we sometimes find ourselves.
After lunch there was another zodiac cruise and this time it was all about looking for wildlife as well as admiring the icebergs. We found a co-operative seal and lots of penguins doing what is called "porpoising". They act like porpoises dipping in and out of the water at break neck speed and are amazing to watch. The penguin in the water displays a grace and agility totally lacking in its on land stumbling, exploits.
Later in the afternoon, when it was time for happy hour, a staff member had brought in a big iceberg chunk and this was chipped off for cocktails. Baileys on iceberg ice for us – perfect!

Sir Bob Harvey arrived in China yesterday morning for the 22nd time.
He and Waterfront Auckland chief executive John Dalzell and Chinese-speaking executive John Hong have 15 meetings planned in pursuit of developers and investors for the Auckland waterfront.
Sir Bob said he came to China last year with Auckland City Mayor Len Brown which opened the door for meetings with developers and investors.
They arrived in Guangzhou on the same day as the Prime Minister's trade mission began but they are not a part of it.
Sir Bob went to China often as the former Mayor of Waitakere, which had a sister city relationship with Ningbo, a boat-building centre.
He said he brought Mr Hong with him because "if you are serious about China, they expect seriousness in doing business". Mr Dalzell said expressions of interest would close on May 14 for about $80 million of development sites on leasehold tenure on eight different parcels of waterfront land earmarked for residential, the commercial innovation sector and a five-star hotel on the site of Team Emirates' base.
They were looking for developers who had expertise over large offerings and over a reasonably long period of time, Mr Dalzell said.
"I would say in the local market we could sell only 80 to 100 apartments a year."
So there were about eight to 10 years of supply on the waterfront.
Mr Key's delegation yesterday witnessed the signing of a joint venture between Snells Beach animation company Huhu and GET capital for the establishment of an animation studio in Guangzhou.
Company founder and chief executive Trevor Yaxley said it would create new jobs in New Zealand beyond the 200 people he already employed, and new jobs in China.
He could not reveal the value of the deal but said New Zealand was knowledge-rich and cash-poor and China was knowledge-poor and cash- rich. "It's a good win-win."
Mr Yaxley said he had been to China 66 times over the past 10 years.
"You cannot do business with China with one visit and a few emails," he said. "It will not work.
"We've learned that China do not do business with foreigners. China only do business with friends. And once you've gained friendships you know that because they stop asking you out for dinner, and they invite you to their home or away with the family for the weekend."

Waitaki Valley's first wine was made a decade ago, and the releases that followed from this new wine region went on to garner considerable critical acclaim. However, Craggy Range withdrew a few years back; the valley's largest player, Pasquale, has just announced it's pulling out and "for sale" signs are scattered through its vineyard area. What's happened to this place that was once so full of promise?
Its potential was initially spotted near simultaneously in the late '90s by late entrepreneur Howard Paterson and Jeff Sinnott of what was to become Ostler Vineyard. They both identified the north-facing limestone-rich hills as possible prime sites for top cool-climate pinot noir.
Coolness is key to the elegant style of wine coming out of the Waitaki, which has also proved itself as a producer of racy riesling, impressive pinot gris, and recent rising star, chardonnay. However, situated at the very edge of viable grape growing, its climate can result in some of the lowest-yielding vines in the country.
It's the weather "that can wipe out a harvest every four or five years" that Pasquale general manager Renzo Mino cited as one of the reasons behind the company's retreat from the region. This was combined with the "cost of growing and hand-harvesting vines ... reflected in the high quality and cost of the wine in bottle" and the region's relatively isolated location on a road less travelled between Oamaru and Omarama.
Steve Harrop was involved with Paterson's Waitaki Valley Estates vineyard subdivision in the region's early days and now has his own Waitaki-based Sublime label. He too considers the costs of farming and establishing grapes in a region with no winegrowing infrastructure to be a major hurdle, however he also thinks timing has played its part in the current troubles.
"We were an infant winegrowing region trying to make as much noise as we could in a pretty difficult time for the wine industry both here in New Zealand and overseas," he observes.
"Then along came the global financial crisis."
"It certainly is not for the faint-hearted, and considerable resources are required," says Ostler's Jim Jerram, who has no plans to up sticks. "We wouldn't be here if we didn't think it worth the effort. Our reputation is building and sales with it, but those who have pioneered in other regions know what effort and doggedness this requires."
Someone fitting that bill is winemaker Grant Taylor, who says he's seen many people come and go during his time in Central Otago as well as in Waitaki, which he attributes to a combination of investors being undercapitalised, involved as financial speculators and overly optimistic, and not understanding the wine industry enough.
"However, it's definitely financially viable and well worth the effort,' he says. "It may be more difficult than anywhere else I've worked, but that's part of the attraction and the resulting wines are so expressive of place."
"None of it is to do with the wines themselves," stresses John Forrest, who made the region's first experimental pinot noir for Paterson in 2003. "From the start I saw the wines were very different to those from anywhere else and expressive of the region's limestone terroir. My initial excitement has been borne out by some years of superb wines."
"The indications are there that it can be a wonderful wine region for certain varieties," says Michelle Richardson of Waitaki Braids. "There have been some wines that you can see real glimpses of something special in, that don't look like anything from any other region."
I agree. And I'm relieved that there remains a hard core of committed winegrowers to ensure we see the continuation of this legacy of exciting and distinctive wines.

Flexible cake moulds
Does anyone know if the flexible moulds which jamie made with tefal can only be used for cake baking? i'm wondering if the loaf tin can be used to make a lasagne??

Re: Flexible cake moulds
I don't know about the tefal series, but I seem to remember having seen flexible moulds advertised with all kinds of things in them. After all, they are oven safe up to 220 C or so.
The only thing you have to be careful about is not to cut with a knife inside the mould. I used to have one of those things to put on the cookie sheet and my hubby made (frozen) pizza on it - and then used the pizza cutter......

Re: Flexible cake moulds
I have a square silicone mould and I make lasagne in it and also toad in the hole. I have lots of silicone moulds bought from many different outlets and I prefer them to tins. They are easy to clean but do not let a knife anywhere near them.Valeriea.
