2011 law enforcement report presented to city council
March 2, 2012
By the numbers …
Statistics from the Craig Police Department's 2011 report:
• 16,633/calls for service
• 11,511/criminal calls
• 537/adult arrests
• 100/juvenile arrests
• 143/cases assigned to detectives
• 78/cases sent to district attorney for prosecution
• 57/sexual assault related investigations
• 41/domestic violence related investigations
• 29/narcotics investigations by ACET*
• $42,400/estimated street value of drugs seized by ACET
• 100 percent/ACET conviction rate
• 693/NIBRS Group A arrests
• 818/NIBRS Group B arrests
• 49 percent/NIBRS group A clearance rate
- All Crimes Enforcement Team
National Incident-Based Reporting System. Group A crimes include homicide, assault, sex offenses, fraud, extortion, etc. Group B crimes include violations such as curfew, DUI, liquor law offenses, trespass, etc.
"Our officers take a great deal of pride in their job and they work very hard to clear the cases they investigate. I'm really proud of our officers' hard work, which has resulted in a clearance rate much higher than the national average."
— Walt Vanatta, Craig Police Department chief, in his law enforcement agency's 2011 report
On June 20, 2011, Sgt. Brian Soper, Cpl. Bryan Gonzales and officers Lance Eldridge and John Meyers of the Craig Police Department responded to a potentially volatile situation.
A suicidal Craig man was armed with a gun.
The police officers, however, were able to avoid the incident escalating. They subdued the man and no one was hurt.
"They performed an extraordinary act and at great risk to their personal safety in an effort to save another human life," Craig Police Chief Walt Vanatta said.
Gonzales, Meyers, Eldridge and Soper were given the department's Valorous Conduct Award for their efforts.
Vanatta cited the officers Tuesday night before the Craig City Council as examples of courage and bravery in the line of community service. The police chief presented council members with his department's 2011 report.
Vanatta also discussed officer Ryan Fritz who, while on patrol, delivered a baby.
Fritz later received an award from George Rohrich, chief executive officer of The Memorial Hospital in Craig, shedding light on a little known statistic — in 2011, of the 4.2 million babies born, 6,600 of them were delivered by a police officer.
The police chief also briefed council members on an ongoing child pornography investigation as part of 2011 activity.
According to the 2011 report, the Federal Bureau of Investigation contacted the Craig Police Department when Google informed the agency of a web address in Craig that contained child pornography images.
In late December 2011, a police investigator, along with Moffat County Sheriff's Office investigators and FBI Agents, searched the home of a Craig resident and seized a computer containing more than 25,000 "known" digital images and 400 "known" videos.
"Known" images and videos have been electronically tagged as child pornography by worldwide investigators, Vanatta said.
The suspect's computer contained thousands of additional images of children ranging in age from infants to 18 year olds that had not been previously identified, the police chief said.
Investigators are currently working to identify whether any of the unidentified images are of local children, Vanatta said.
"This particular subject was also emailing people all over the world to assault their children, video tape it, and put it on (his site)." Vanatta said.
Vanatta thanked Moffat County Sheriff Tim Jantz for his deputies continuing to work on the child pornography case. Last year, Jantz used forfeiture money to purchase equipment and train two deputies in computer forensics.
As a result of the local case and others, law enforcement officials around the country require officers investigating child pornography cases to attend mandatory counseling.
"I've got one detective (who) is a mother of two and you can see it is just wearing on her," Vanatta said. "They all do a great job and we're putting them in a position to be exposed to stuff most people in the world don't want to see, and I think we have an obligation to take care of them."
Vanatta's report also included information on the local drug trade.
The police department estimates 85 percent of crimes committed in Craig are related to drug distribution or use in some way.
After seeing a 56-percent reduction in drug-related incidents from 2009 to 2010, Vanatta said drug crimes spiked in 2011.
Vanatta said the department is seeing an increase in prescription drug abuse, particularly by minors, as well as an increase in medical marijuana possession by non-card holders.
He said juveniles are getting a hold of prescription drugs by raiding their parents' and grandparents' medicine cabinets.
To mitigate the problem, the police department, in partnership with the Colorado State Patrol, participated in National Drug Take Back Day in October 2011.
The nationwide initiative, sponsored by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, provides the public with an opportunity to turn over expired or unwanted medication to law enforcement officials for disposal.
Last year, the police department and state patrol gathered more than 30 pounds of prescription drugs. Nationwide, the initiative collected more than 188 tons, according to the DEA.
For adults, Vanatta said the drug of choice in recent years has been methamphetamine.
Although he could not discuss specifics, Vanatta told council members All Crimes Enforcement Team investigators are reporting a shift in the local drug culture.
"Right now, (ACET investigators are) doing some phenomenal work that I can't really talk about at this juncture," he said. "But the drug scene has changed and we're beginning to see a lot more heroin and a lot more cocaine."
Overall, the police department responded to 11,511 criminal calls in 2011, an 8-percent increase from 2010.
Of the 693 National Incident-Based Reporting System Group A arrests made in 2011, 337, or 49 percent, were cleared by police officers.
The national clearance rate for NIBRS Group A crimes, which includes violations such as homicide, theft, sex offenses, fraud, pornography and embezzlement, among others, was 32 percent in 2010.
"Our officers take a great deal of pride in their job and they work very hard to clear the cases they investigate," Vanatta said. "I'm really proud of our officers' hard work, which has resulted in a clearance rate much higher than the national average."

One sunny winter morning last year, Tom Flanagan got in his car to drive back to Calgary from the University of Lethbridge, where he had given a talk the night before. The topic was the Indian Act, and the crowd, which included a number of native activists, had been unusually hostile. Still, he felt he'd handled it well. "I was feeling quite relaxed," he recalls.
As he should have. When Mr. Flanagan started the two-hour drive, he was a respected political scientist and author, a sought-after commentator in the media with a regular spot on CBC Television, and an effective Conservative political activist who had once served as Prime Minister Stephen Harper's chief of staff.
Before the drive was halfway over, he was a pariah. He would be denounced by the Prime Minister's Office and other former political allies. By the end of the day, his employer of 45 years, the University of Calgary, would trash him. The CBC would fire him as a commentator. In the days to come, he would be disinvited from speaking engagements across North America.
All were reacting to a video clip from the Lethbridge talk that had been posted on YouTube. In it, Mr. Flanagan is seen responding to a question from out of the blue about child pornography. The headline on the cellphone video was: "Tom Flanagan okay with child pornography."
He had said no such thing. But the clip – or rather, the headline – ignited a media firestorm. When people couldn't reach him right away, they didn't bother to wait to react. Mr. Flanagan's car phone rang – a rare event, since hardly anyone had the number. On the line were two men who worked for Danielle Smith, the leader of the Wildrose Party. Mr. Flanagan had worked hard to help build Ms. Smith's fledgling party into a credible political force in 2008. But now, they told him coldly, he was through. She was cutting him off and about to issue a public denunciation.
The Prime Minister's communications director, Andrew McDougall, took care of it with a tweet. "Tom Flanagan's comments on child pornography are repugnant, ignorant, and appalling," it said.
Mr. Flanagan was used to controversy. He is widely loathed among aboriginal activists for acting as an expert government witness in land-claim cases. Along with Mr. Harper, he was one of the signatories of the notorious "firewall" letter that called for Alberta to cut itself off from Ottawa and keep all its wealth in-province. He enjoyed flaunting his enormous buffalo-skin coat on TV, just to tweak the easterners. He proudly calls himself a natural contrarian.
But this was different. Nobody in power had bothered to speak with him. He never had a chance to defend himself. He was the victim of a ruthless politics of expediency that would almost destroy him – a politics he now ruefully admits was partly of his own creation.
The return of human sacrifice
Mr. Flanagan's new book, Persona Non Grata: The Death of Free Speech in the Internet Age, is remarkably free of revenge or bitterness. "Writing the book was not for me a therapeutic or emotional thing," he told me. "It was only through writing the book that I came to an understanding of what happened."
The most powerful theme of his book is a how a changing political culture has interacted with new media to create a toxic environment in which people are executed in the public square when they become inconvenient. "Damage control is a big part of politics today," he says. "There's a demand for virtually instantaneous action. So human sacrifice has become institutionalized."
Twenty years ago, there would have been no story, no incident. There were no cellphones to capture casual remarks, no YouTube to post them on. If Mr. Flanagan's comments had somehow come to light, reporters would have called him to get his side of the story. The PMO would have responded with a measured, formal statement, not a tweet.Report Typo/Error

Headphone Fans
Hey all, any headphone lovers out there? I love a good pair of headphones, and consequently, I've spent a lot of time over at head-fi.org over the last few years.
What is everyone's personal setup?
iPod, Klipsh S4i
4 Attachment(s)
I'm not even close to being an audiophile, but I've tried the Klipsch S4i's and they are great, especially for the price. Also their silicone tips are shaped differently which seem to be more comfortable and stay in-place better.
JVC XXplode earbuds for riding, etc.
Ultrasone HFI-580 cans for everything else.
Shure se535s. Best (pads removed) helmet solution I've found.
Though having killed the right channel of my previous ones (se420) by getting snow in the pocket they were in, I'm being fairly careful not to repeat the mistake ;)
Audio-Technica ath-m50s for home use and I need some earbuds for when I'm not home. Thinking about the klipsch s4i.
As others said, I love the Klipsch S4i's. great headphones for the price
I have a pair of the Klipsch s4i's but I hate it how tangled they get.
15 Attachment(s)
Ultimate Ear Triple.Fi 10's , hard to beat for the bus\train and generally blocking out the entire world of f'ing dip shits, I use skullcandy drop-ins for snowboarding though.
Sennheisers are my go-to brand for really enjoying some music, or video games/movies.
For snowboarding, a cheap pair of skullcandys, simply because they look damn good with a beanie (;

My human went to college yesterday. I knew something was different when mom came back and Scotty wasn't with her. It's awful quiet, and even though he has the best bed in the house it wasn't quite as comfortable as usual. For the last twelve years he has taken care of me and been my best friend. He's still my best friend and I can't wait for him to come back soon! It's so hard with all of the kids go to college! They should make room for pets!
Well I made it to 11 years old last Monday! My mom and dad chose St. Patrick's Day as my birthday when they found me and took me off the streets in October of 1997. The vet said I was about 6 months old at the time, so they picked a spring holiday and St. Paddy's day it was. And my family is Irish to boot! I wonder if they have any Pit Bulls in Ireland?
I'm really getting old. My hips hurt, I have stomach problems and I'm cold all the time. I can't wait for the summer weather for sure! Basking in the sun is what I do best!
I just turned 10 years old! Time sure does fly. For a special dinner I got leftover chicken (no bones please) and some good tasty skin. That is my favorite part. I also got a piece of rawhide, which I am going to save for later. I buried it in a special spot. A couple of months from now it will be all nice and tasty from the fermenting :)

Compromised or Competent: Analyzing Twin Children's Social Worlds
Thorpe, Karen J. & Danby, Susan J. (2006) Compromised or Competent: Analyzing Twin Children's Social Worlds. Twin Research and Human Genetics, 9(1), pp. 90-94.
From conception twin children are compelled to share their environment and its resources. This includes social resources of attention from, and social interac- tions, with others. This special issue specifically focuses on the social world of twin children and addresses three key questions: • How is the social world of twins different from that of a single-born child? • Does the twin situation limit social experience and compromise social development? • Does the twin situation enhance social experience and facilitate social competency? The issue includes studies from a range of disciplines, including psychology, sociology, anthropology and behavioral genetics, and utilizes a range of approaches to the analysis and understanding of the processes and outcomes of twin children's social experiences.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Recent statistics are producing optimism among economists about today's government report on December employment.
Weekly reports show declining layoffs and manufacturers also have reported that they've been hiring more.
John Ryding at RDQ Economics forecasts that employers added 180,000 jobs last month, a big jump from November's 120,000 net jobs. For the coming year, Economists surveyed by the Associated Press project that the economy will generate an average of 175,000 jobs per month, up from 130,000 last year.
A FactSet survey finds economists predicting that employers added a net 150,000 jobs last month, and that the unemployment rate ticked up to 8.7 percent from 8.6 percent in November, which was the lowest rate since March 2009.
Many economists forecast that growth could slow to roughly 2 percent this year.

Curled tail
1 Attachment(s)
Hi my 3 and a half month old has a pretty curled up tail most of the time. When she was younger it pretty much touched her back to make a 0. As she is getting older it is falling straiter, do you think when she is an adult it would sit like a "normal" tail. I know it's a really bad picture but could not get her to keep still.
Since the tail is getting straighter, and she is only 3.5 months old, I guess it could. She is so cute and looks so happy with her tail up :wub:

Rahul not campaigning to avoid blame of defeat: Modi
The leader knows the temperament of Gujarati people. He has realised that they won't be able to impress the people of Gujarat, said Modi.
Ahmedabad: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is not campaigning in Gujarat because he does not want to take responsibility of his party's likely defeat in the Assembly polls, Chief Minister Narendra Modi said on Tuesday night. Without naming him, Modi took a dig at Rahul, often termed as the future prime minister, while addressing poll rallies at 52 places, using 3D holographic projection technology.
"One of the Congress leaders from whom they have big expectations had camped in Uttar Pradesh for 12 months and people kicked that party out of the state. This 'precious' leader of the Congress has not dared to campaign here for assembly elections," Modi said.
"The leader knows the temperament of Gujarati people. He has realised that they won't be able to impress the people of Gujarat. Hence, he decided to pay merely token visits here. He doesn't want to take the responsibility of his party's defeat here," the Chief Minister said.
Modi also ridiculed the Congress for 'withdrawing' all photographs of Gandhi family members from its poll-related campaign material in Gujarat.
"This has happened for the first time in 60 years. Even political pundits have observed that not a single photograph of Nehru, Indira, Rajiv, Sonia, Priyanka or Rahul Gandhi has been used in Congress' election campaign advertisements," Modi said.
"Do you know why the Congress has been forced to withdraw these leaders? Let me ask: Are they believing that these faces don't bring votes for the party anymore?" he asked.
"Instead they put up pictures of a Sri Lankan boy, which is totally irrelevant and misrepresentative," he claimed, referring to to the controversy over a picture used by the Congress in its poll propaganda depicting malnutrition of children in Gujarat.

Rabbis Against Concerts
I'm a little late to the game on this one, so I'll summarize in brief: A couple weeks ago the ultra-Orthodox newspaper Hamodia published a statement from 33 ultra-Orthodox rabbis — including some of the American haredi community's most respected figures — prohibiting attendance at a planned charity fund-raising concert at Madison Square Garden's WaMu Theater.
The concert was to feature Lipa Schmeltzer (see above video), a Hasidic singer who is reputed to cause some young ultra-Orthodox Jews go a little bit wild with his mix of traditional Jewish music and contemporary pop influences. The rabbis who issued the ban warned that the concert would have led to "ribaldry and light-headedness."
The 11th-hour ban came as a surprise to organizers, who canceled the concert, reportedly at significant cost. Schmeltzer also pulled out of a planned performance in London.
The ban has generated a fair amount of outrage in the ultra-Orthodox community. Some are warning of a backlash against the rabbinic leadership. Rumors are flying that some of the ban's signatories were manipulated by zealots.
Perhaps the rabbis fear Lipa Schmeltzer for the same reason that the powers-that-be once feared a certain foursome from Liverpool — namely, modern music and authority (particularly of the authoritarian variety) don't always mix.
The concert controversy has garnered plenty of press in the past few days:
See the articles from The Jerusalem Post, JTA, The New York Times, The Jewish Press and The Jewish Week.
It also has the Orthodox blogosphere buzzing:
On Blog in Dm, "Hasidic Musician" rails at length against the ban (and has some thorough coverage of the controversy's genesis).
Hirhurim's Rabbi Gil Student writes that while there "could very well be an halakhic problem with such a concert," a ban simply alienates people and "serves to undermine rabbinic authority in a large segment of the Charedi community."
Over on Cross-Currents, Rabbi Yitzchok Adlerstein examines the issue of when it is permissible to adopt non-Jewish cultural styles (Schmeltzer has been criticized for drawing on contemporary music) and offers some interesting answers to a bunch of reader questions on the concert controversy.
Meanwhile, the indefatigable foe of ultra-Orthodox excess who runs the blog Failed Messiah goes to town.

The New Zealand sharemarket is likely to follow international markets down if the West takes military action against Syria but the real concern is if war were to spread to other nations, spiking up the price of oil, market watchers say.
Grant Williamson, a director at Hamilton Hindin Greene, said any international conflict weighed on equities, but it could be short-lived. "Markets tend to go down as soon as the first missile hits the ground and then start going up again."
But Williamson said the concern was whether military action would spread to other Middle Eastern countries like Iraq, which could affect the production and transportation of oil.
"The major concern is the oil price," he said.
"The markets are a little bit nervous about it [Syria] but it's nothing too serious. Investors will be hoping for a quick solution and a return to normal."
However if the price of oil were to spike above US$120 a barrel it could cause some concern, he said.
US benchmark oil for October delivery rose 1 per cent yesterday to US$110.10 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Bernard Doyle, an investment strategist at JBWere, said US$120 a barrel was a tipping point for adverse economic impacts.
"Then it's a question of how long before it starts to spill over into consumer confidence."
Doyle said the economy was in a pretty good shape and a single negative event was unlikely to change that but there were a number of events coming up in the next month that could result in more negative impacts for the market.
"Even in a serious disruption to a medium-sized oil producer, equities will get over it. For this to turn into a sell-off worth remembering, we will need a confluence of events that swing against us. Unfortunately, the calendar between now and year end is laden with candidates."
Doyle said those events included the German election, an announcement about tapering by the US Federal Reserve next month, ongoing pressure in emerging markets like India and Turkey and another round of debt-ceiling renegotiation likely to be needed in the US by October.
"None of these look overly intimidating in isolation - but markets live off cumulative impact.
"As long as market jitters don't get too out of hand we will probably be okay. Our feeling is this will probably throw up some reasonable buying opportunities."
Those stocks typically affected by oil price rises included airlines and retailers, which could come under pressure if discretionary spending shrinks from higher prices at the petrol pump.
Highly liquid stocks could also be hit, he said.

Jan 23, 2014 - By Bruce Tippets, Sports EditorRyan Nemelka had the game of his Central Wyoming College career Wednesday night, connecting for seven 3-pointers, including the game-winner in a dramatic 70-67 win for the CWC Rustlers at Sheridan College.
Sheridan College missed a desperation 3-pointer at the buzzer, and the Rustlers celebrated the big road Region IX men's basketball victory.
The winning bucket for the Rustlers came with about three seconds left on the clock.
"The final play wasn't just Ryan," CWC men's coach Pat Rafferty said. "It was all four other guys on the floor. We had something in mind. We felt the whole night, we executed things that were going to be effective. The guys did a great job in the decision making."
Nemelka scored a game-high 29 points. He was also 8-9 from the free throw line.
"Ryan is a really good shooter when he takes good shots," Rafferty said. "He made a bunch of shots."
CWC raised its mark to 4-4 in the Region IX men's play. Sheridan College dropped to 18-4 overall and 6-2 in the conference.
"It was a big win for us because we have been knocking on the door a couple of times," Rafferty said.
The Rustlers had lost close games to Gillette College and Casper College.
"The guys have been doing the right things to put ourselves in position to win," Rafferty said. "For them to get rewarded was important. It was a really good college basketball game."
CWC had just eight turnovers in the 40 minutes.
That was important, because "we knew we would get pounded on the glass just because of Sheridan's size," Rafferty said.
CWC was outrebounded 43-27.
"We had to make the most of every possession," Rafferty said. "We need to make sure that we played the right tempo that we didn't allow them to get scattered floor positions."
The Rustlers host Miles Community College at 5 p.m. on Saturday at Rustler Gym.
CWC edged Miles in November 61-57 in Montana.
"If we continue to play this way we have a chance to win every night," Rafferty said. "I hope they really like the feeling that you get from winning."

Date of Stay: July, 2013
Should have read the previous reviews before booking. Booked 2 months ahead and I was told what my site was as I asked for a private shady site. When I got there the manager was unfriendly and they had changed our site on us. The site they gave us was not shady nor private, it was across from the bathrooms. Manager said he would attempt to help move to the site on my email, but when we went back to talk to him, he would not consider changing back to the site indicated on my email. We stayed for over a week and the site we were suppose to get was empty most of the time. Highway noise was loud and the kids playground was dirty and not much fun for the kids. Pool was nice but rules were never enforced. Bathrooms were locked with a code for the night, why locked up I don't know. Sites were close and tight. Lot of the cedars that provided privacy were cut down. Manager of the place never said Hi or smiled. Overall experience was bad and I would never go back. Place is for sale so maybe they don't care.
Date of Stay: July, 2013
Very nice campground. Caretaker was very friendly and accommodating. He let us choose our site without difficulty. He asked if we had kids and whether we wanted the site near the playground. Nice big sites and lots of room between sites. Playground was really nice for the kids, lots to do on it. Nice nature trails and close to the river for a dip. Bathrooms are a little rustic but clean. Quiet campground and overall a very good experience.
Date of Stay: June, 2013
Great little campground. I asked for a private spot and got a very nice spot. Managers were really nice. Bathrooms and showers were spotless. Area was nicely lit at night so you can see where you're going. Playground was great for the kids. Really quiet area and overall a great experience and I would camp there again.

Would you trust men to take a 'male pill'? That's the question posed to 380 people in North East England by a team from Teesside University which questioned people about the male contraceptive pill currently undergoing trials.
The research led by Judith Eberhardt, from the University's Social Futures Institute, involved interviews with 140 men and 240 women and cast doubt on whether Northern men can be trusted to take it.
The findings showed that while men said they would welcome it, women thought their partners could not be trusted to take the contraceptive pill regularly, leading to unplanned pregnancy.
"There's been some work into the male pill, mainly in the US and Australia," said Eberhardt. "But nothing it seems has been done in the North East, which is perceived to be a male-dominated society.
"Men in the North don't go to the doctors very often and we wanted to see if that approach to health care would influence their attitudes to the male pill. Past research has shown a link between health awareness and attitudes towards the male pill.
"There were three findings to our research. Firstly, both men and women had a positive attitude towards the male pill and thought it was a good idea.
"Secondly, women were more positive than men, but women didn't trust men to remember to take the pill every day. This means that pharmaceutical companies need to look at developing options such as a monthly injection or an implant that could last three years.
"And finally, men in a stable sexual relationship had a better opinion of the male pill than men in casual sexual relationships."
Writing in the Journal of Family Planning and Reproductive Health Care, Eberhardt said, "Once the male pill is widely available, promotional campaigns could target not only men but also their female partners, as women tend to come into contact with health services more frequently."

About John Langeloth Loeb, Jr. Ambassador to Denmark
John Langeloth Loeb, Jr. (born May 2, 1930) is a businessman, philanthropist, art collector, and former United States Ambassador to Denmark (1981–1983) and Delegate to the United Nations (1984).
Since 1979, Loeb has been chairman of Loeb, Rhoades Trust Company, successor to John L. Loeb Jr. Associates, Inc., Investment Counselors. Loeb is the founder of and owner of the Russian Riverbend Vineyards Ltd., which produces Sonoma-Loeb wines.
He has sponsored publications and exhibitions on early American genealogy and family histories, and on Danish art. In 2009, he founded the George Washington Institute for Religious Freedom, and serves as the chairman of the organization.
Loeb joined Loeb, Rhoades & Co. of New York City in 1956. He was a general partner from 1959–1973 and was then a limited partner until the firm's 1979 acquisition by Shearson Hayden Stone.
Through the years, Loeb has served as director and/or chairman on the boards of:
- Holly Sugar Corp – see Imperial Sugar and Great Western Sugar Company
- Atlantico del Golfo (Cuban Atlantic Sugar) – see Hershey Entertainment and Resorts Company and Loeb, Rhoades & Co. (On Wikipedia.org)
- John Morrell and Co.
- Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad and Rio Grande Industries
- Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
He was a trustee of the Educational Testing Service (ETS) from 1986–1993 and a trustee of American University from 1985-1994. He served for almost 40 years as a trustee and ultimately chairman of the Jacob and Valeria Langeloth Foundation and for almost 30 years was on the board of the Museum of the City of New York. Loeb also served on the board of the International Rescue Committee. He is a trustee of the American-Scandinavian Foundation and chairman of the Winston Churchill Foundation of the United States (see Churchill Scholarship). He served for several years on the board of the National Committee on American Foreign Policy. Loeb served on the visiting committee of the Harvard Board of Overseers to the John F. Kennedy School of Government (1980–1986) and to the Harvard Business School (1968–1979). He is currently vice-chairman of the Council of American Ambassadors. He is most active as founder and chairman of the George Washington Institute for Religious Freedom (GWIRF), a not-for-profit organization promoting understanding of freedom of religion and separation of church and state in America.
Government service
On 30 July 1981, President Ronald Reagan appointed Loeb to the post of United States Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Denmark. He served in this post until Sept 1983. Upon his return to the United States, he was appointed a Delegate to the 38th session of United Nations. He also served as special adviser to Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller on environmental matters (1967–1973); chairman of New York State Council on Environmental Advisors (1970–1975).
George Washington Institute for Religious Freedom
The Institute, founded by Ambassador Loeb in 2009, promotes greater awareness of the historic roots of religious freedom, and the importance of separation of church and state in the U. S. Its efforts are targeted at introducing teachers and students to the principles expressed in George Washington's "Letter to the Hebrew Congregation in Newport, RI" of 1790. The institute's first project was to design, build, and operate the Loeb Visitors Center on the campus of Touro Synagogue in Newport, Rhode Island. For several years, there has been support for high school level essay writing contests on the George Washington letter, including programs at the Harrison Central School District, Westchester, NY; the Rogers High School, Newport, RI; the Hotchkiss School, Lakeville, CT. In 2008/2009 a national essay contest was sponsored with the First Freedom Center, Richmond, VA. In 2010, the institute formed partnerships with the Bill of Rights Institute, Inc. and with Facing History and Ourselves, Inc. to provide civic education enrichment programs and awareness of the Washington letter to classrooms throughout the United States.
Early American Jewish History
Loeb's philanthropic activities have also focused on the history and contributions of American Jews to the early history of the United States and the cause of religious liberty. Publications and museum exhibitions on these topics have been sponsored through the John L. Loeb Jr. Foundation, the George Washington Institute for Religious Freedom, and by Loeb personally. Projects include:
- Loeb Visitors Center at Touro Synagogue in Newport, Rhode Island;
- financing the creation of the Adeline Moses Loeb Gallery at Fraunces Tavern Museum in New York City;
- The Jewish Community in Early New York, 1654-1800, an exhibit featured at the Fraunces Tavern Museum in New York City, (1979);
- The Jewish Community in Early America, 1654-1830, opened by President Gerald Ford, an exhibit featured at the Daughters of the American Revolution Museum Gallery in Washington, D.C. (1980);
- Tolerance and Identity: Jews in Early New York, 1654-1825. Museum of the City of New York, (2005).

The assembled collection consists primarily of 18th, 19th and early 20th-century paintings, containing representative art from the "Danish Golden Age" (1820–1850), and including paintings by Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg, Martinus Rørbye, Constantin Hansen, Christen Købke and Wilhelm Marstrand. Of primary importance in the collection are works from The Modern Breakthrough period (1870–1890) in Danish art, with works by the Skagen Painters including Anna Ancher, Vilhelm Hammershøi, and Peder Severin Krøyer.
The Ambassador John L. Loeb Jr. Danish Art Catalog
In 2005, Loeb commissioned the publication of a catalog of his collection. Full-color images of 128 paintings are accompanied by critical commentary and research on Loeb's collection by Danish art historians Elisabeth Fabritius, Suzanne Ludvigsen and Mette Thelle, and American art historian Benedicte Hallowell. The catalog also contains detailed biographies of the 63 artists represented. It is available in its entirety online at the "Ambassador John L. Loeb Jr. Danish Art Collection" website. Loeb also supported the publication of In Another Light: Danish Painting in the Nineteenth Century, by Patricia G. Berman New York: Vendome Press, 2007.

Early American Jewish Portraiture
In cooperation with the American Jewish Historical Society, Loeb funded the development of The Ambassador John L. Loeb Jr. Database of Early American Jewish Portraits, containing images of all known painted portraits of American Jews before 1865. The database includes a short biography of each subject along with artist and repository attributions. The database can be accessed through the American Jewish Historical Society.
Loeb was born in New York City on May 2, 1930, to businessman John Langeloth Loeb Sr. (1902–1996) and Frances Lehman (1906–1996). His mother was a direct descendant of Meyer Lehman (1830–1897), one of the three original founders of the Lehman Brothers banking family. He is a great-grandson of Adolph Lewisohn and grand-nephew of former New York Governor and U. S. Senator Herbert H. Lehman. Ambassador Loeb's father and paternal-grandfather, Carl M. Loeb (1875–1955), were founders of Loeb, Rhoades & Co. Ambassador Loeb and his father share the middle name Langeloth. This comes in honor of family friend and businessman John Jacob Langeloth (1852–1914).
He is a 1952 B.A. cum laude graduate of Harvard College, and received his M.B.A. in 1954 from Harvard Business School. He served as First Lieutenant in the United States Air Force from 1954 to 1956. Loeb holds an honorary Doctorate of Laws from Georgetown University Law School.
Awards and Honors
Upon leaving his ambassadorial post in 1983, Her Royal Highness Queen Margrethe II of Denmark gave Ambassador Loeb the equivalent of a Danish knighthood through the awarding of the Grand Cross of the Order of the Dannebrog. She also bestowed a Danish crest and coat-of-arms. The Danish crest and arms were used as the basis for the British crest and coat-of-arms given to the Ambassador by Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth II and registered with the College of Heralds.
Loeb speaks frequently on religious freedom in America. In 2010, he was invited to deliver the Herbert H. Lehman Memorial Lecture at Lehman College CUNY. He was the first direct relative of Herbert H. Lehman to receive the honor. His lecture, Beyond Tolerance, was an exploration of the history and contemporary relevance of George Washington's 1790 "Letter to the Hebrew Congregation in Newport Rhode Island".
In addition to the above mentioned and other awards, he has been honored by:
- The John Clarke Society, Laureate of the Year (2009)
- The Danish American Society, Person of the Year (2005)
- The Hotchkiss School, Lakeville, Connecticut, Hotchkiss Holiday in Honor of John L. Loeb Jr. (1998);

Twin Towers steel sent for memorials across America
By Paula Rogo
NEW YORK (Reuters) - As the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks nears, workers at an airplane hangar filled with World Trade Center steel have dispatched charred hunks of metal to towns across America for building memorials.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which owns the steel left behind when the World Trade Center collapsed, has already dispatched thousands of artifacts and is hoping to fill hundreds of last minute requests before the 10th anniversary of 9/11, when many memorials will be unveiled.
"These serve as centerpieces of history for towns all over the country," said Bill Baroni, deputy executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
"The public will have access to this piece of history displayed with honor, dignity and respect."
The most iconic pieces, such as the last standing column of the World Trade Center and a FDNY Engine 3 fire truck, will be on display at the National September 11 Memorial and Museum when it opens on September 11 this year.
Most of the 1,200 pieces of steel the program began with have been dispatched to fire departments, police departments, and cities from 50 states and five countries which requested a piece of World Trade Center metal.
"People have short memories," said Frank Byrnes, at the hangar to help escort a piece of steel donated to the St. James Fire District on New York's Long Island. "If it raises public awareness, even after 10 years, then it's great."

I want to offer my CREAMED HONEY as a free sample on something, but what?? I thought of saltine crackers but everyone said NO. So any other ideas?:scratch:
I want to offer my CREAMED HONEY as a free sample on something, but what?? I thought of saltine crackers but everyone said NO. So any other ideas?:scratch:
One of those mini plastic spoons.
Ditto. Or small wooden spoons like ones used to eat ice cream cups out of the store display case. Something that doesn't impart any taste of it's own, is disposable so no double dipping occurs, and the wooden spoons are more environmentally friendly.
Is it safe to assume you want to do this at a Farm Market or somewhere you will be selling your honey? If you are indoors and/or presenting your honey in a "Product Tasting" forum, you might consider finding a small cracker and a cheese that could be served w/ the honey. A goat cheese, I have found, is often a good pairing of flavors. Best if the cracker has no or little salt or any other flavor. Try it, you might want to use that as an appetizer at your next party.
I would try popsicle sticks. I think they should be easy to find at the grocery store.
Or any craft outlet. Wally World perhaps.
I think it tastes great on a saltine... but sticks are nice and can be purchases as "craft sticks" at hobby stores. If you use the jumbo ones, you can reuse them as comb guides later...
I would use the popsicle sticks, I use gel caps for my regular honey for samples. I can make up hundreds before the market and they are good to go.
What size gel caps do you use? Are they the standard pharmaceutical gel caps or what?
How do you quickly fill a gel cap with honey...syringe?
Attachment 12446Attachment 12447
I use "0" caps with the ketchup bottle and box to hold the caps. Put holes in box with pencil to right size and cut hole in the end so I can push up while pushing the cap down. i can make maybe 30 caps in 2-3 minutes oce you get going.
I hate tasting off plastic but have never heard that complaint from another.
The bees already put the honey in little capsules, called cells... why not sell 1" cubes of comb honey for a quarter a piece...
thin pretzel sticks or animal crackers
rtoney neat idea, but I would be afraid that kids would then think that pills are candy..
I know somebody will always worry about something. Candy cigarettes make kids smoke, chewable vitamins also confuse kids, having a gun in the house is the cause of all gun deaths. It works for me if not for someone else so be it.
Well I used saltiness crackers and sold all my first batch of CREAMED HONEY.
Thanks for the comments, and I have orders for more.

US Week in Review - Week ending 19 July 2012
The US Week in Review highlights this week's developments and emerging issues in the financial reporting world and gives you direct access to relevant technical accounting guidance and thought leadership produced by Ernst & Young.
Ernst & Young publications
To the Point: SEC staff releases Final Report on IFRS
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) staff issued its Final Report on its IFRS Work Plan summarizing its findings about a possible move to a set of global accounting standards. The report does not include a recommendation to the Commission about whether or how to incorporate IFRS into the US financial reporting system. The report notes that the Commission has not yet made a policy decision. We don't expect a decision before 2013. Our To the Point publication summarizes the report.
Standard Setter updates
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
Onerous test dropped from revenue model
In a significant change to their exposure drafts, the FASB and the IASB today tentatively decided to remove the proposed requirement for an onerous test. Instead, the Boards indicated they will rely on existing guidance in US GAAP and IFRS for the time being to determine whether a reserve for a loss contract is needed.
In addition, the Boards supported the staffs' recommendations to clarify the requirements for identifying separate performance obligations and the criteria for determining whether performance obligations are satisfied over time or at a point in time. They asked the staffs to perform additional analysis on licenses and rights to use.
16-19 July 2012 joint FASB-IASB videoconference meeting
The Boards discussed the following projects:
- Investment companies
- Leases
- Accounting for financial instruments: classification and measurement
- Accounting for financial instruments: impairment
- Revenue recognition (see above article)
For additional details, see the FASB Action Alert.
Upcoming meetings and webcasts
25 July 2012 FASB meeting
The Board is scheduled to discuss its insurance contracts project.
For additional details of the planned discussion, see the FASB calendar.
Education sessions
See the FASB calendar for upcoming education sessions. No decisions are made at these sessions.
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
Paul Beswick named Acting Chief Accountant
Paul Beswick was named Acting Chief Accountant of the SEC's Office of the Chief Accountant. The former SEC Chief Accountant, James Kroeker, left the SEC last Friday.
Mr. Beswick joined the SEC as Senior Advisor to the Chief Accountant in September 2007. In September 2008, Mr. Beswick became the SEC's Deputy Chief Accountant for Professional Practice, responsible for oversight of the PCAOB, resolution of auditor independence issues and monitoring audit and independence standard setting. In
November 2009, Mr. Beswick became the SEC's Deputy Chief Accountant for Accounting, responsible for the resolution of accounting issues and oversight of the FASB. In that role, Mr. Beswick served as the staff director of the multi-year effort to help the Commission evaluate the implications of incorporating IFRS for US companies.
Prior to joining the SEC, Mr. Beswick was a partner in Ernst & Young's Professional Practice Group in New York. From July 2005 to June 2007, Mr. Beswick served as a FASB Practice Fellow.
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB)
Response to US SEC publication of staff report on IFRS
The Trustees of the IFRS Foundation note that the SEC staff published a staff report on 13 July 2012 representing the final element of a Work Plan for global accounting standards. The Work Plan, initiated in 2010, is intended to assist the Commission in determining whether and how to incorporate IFRSs into the US financial reporting regime (see our To the Point above).
For comments from Michel Prada, Chairman of the Trustees, and Hans Hoogervorst, Chairman of the IASB, see the IASB website.
International Federation of Accountants/International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IFAC/IAASB)
FAC 2012 handbooks issued
The following handbooks have been released:
2012 Handbook of International Quality Control, Auditing, Review, Other Assurance, and Related Services Pronouncements
The 2012 edition of the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) handbook includes new and revised standards that have been issued and separately announced over the past year.

My strong-willed child is taking her ability to communicate to a new level. She's getting pretty dominant in a rude way. Earlier this week I thought it was kind of funny when I went to check on her in the bathroom at school… And she yelled: Get out of here! I do it myself! Leave me alone!
It was rude, but I let her be. But now she's yelling at me to get out of the room when I want to watch her smooch her brother during good night time… Or when I'm too close to her as she works on putting on a pair of pants. She doesn't want help. Oy. I support her efforts to force her way into complete independence, but she's got to tone down the rude attitude. So I'm trying to figure out ways to encourage her independence but tone it down and make it more responsible and polite.
By the way – that picture is of the kids on campus with me today. For some reason they're almost figuring out how to pose together. I might actually get real pictures of the kids for the holidays if they keep this up!

Four Missouri Valley Conference baseball student-athletes have been named to the 2010 American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) Midwest All-Region Team. Illinois State's Kevin Tokarski and Wichita State's Preston Springer were named to the first team, while Shocker teammate Jordan Cooper and Evansville's Greg Wallace earned second team honors. Tokarski was also tabbed a second team ABCA All-American. The ABCA's Midwest Region includes 34 schools from such conferences as the Missouri Valley Conference, the Big XII, and the Mountain West Conference.
Kevin Tokarski, Illinois State
For the third time this season, Illinois State second baseman Kevin Tokarski has been selected as an All-American. The American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) named Tokarski to the ABCA/Rawlings All-America Second Team and the ABCA All-Midwest Region First Team Thursday.
The redshirt sophomore from Downers Grove, Ill., has already been selected as a Ping! Baseball First Team All-American and a Louisville Slugger Third Team All-American. He also took home the 2010 Missouri Valley Conference Joe Carter Player of the Year Award and the State Farm Valley Tournament Most Outstanding Player Award.
Tokarski finished the season among the nation's leaders with a .538 on-base percentage (7th in the nation), an average of 1.32 runs scored per game (13th), 25 doubles (tied for 18th), 33 stolen bases (tied for 19th), 70 runs scored (tied for 33rd) and a .412 batting average (tied for 36th). Along with leading the Redbirds in those statistics, Tokarski was also tops on ISU in hits (84), RBIs (53) and slugging percentage (.681).
After missing all but four games of the 2009 season following several wrist surgeries, Tokarski returned in 2010 to set new Illinois State single-season records for on-base percentage, runs scored, hits, doubles, stolen bases and walks (53). Along with his individual achievements, Tokarski helped lead the Redbirds to their first-ever Valley regular season championship and their first State Farm MVC Tournament title since 1994.
Preston Springer, Wichita State
Wichita State baseball student-athletes Preston Springer and Jordan Cooper have been named to the 2010 American Baseball Coaches Association Midwest All-Region Team. Springer was named to the first team and Cooper to the second team.
Springer, a junior from Denton, Texas, hit .324 with 54 runs, 71 hits, 20 doubles, one triple, 11 home runs and 59 RBI. He earned first team all-Valley honors and was also named the Missouri Valley Conference Newcomer-of-the-Year.
Jordan Cooper, Wichita State
Cooper, a sophomore from Berryton, Kan., went 10-3 with a 2.01 ERA. He pitched 107.1 innings with five complete games and 95 strikeouts. He earned first team all-Valley honors and was also named the Missouri Valley Conference Pitcher-of-the-Year.
Greg Wallace, Evansville
Following one of the most productive offensive seasons in University of Evansville baseball history this spring, junior outfielder Greg Wallace (Nanaimo, British Columbia/Dover Bay S.S.) has been named to the America Baseball Coaches Association's All-Midwest Region second team in a vote of the region's head coaches. Wallace is the first UE player to earn all-region honors since former pitcher Kai Tuomi earned second team honors in 2007. Overall, Wallace is the 18th Purple Ace to earn All-Midwest Region honors.
Wallace earned second team all-region honors after a record-breaking season in which he rewrote three offensive records at UE and one Missouri Valley Conference record at the plate. Wallace tied former Major League great Joe Carter's single-season MVC record for triples with a school-record 13, the fourth-highest single-season total in NCAA Division I history. Wallace also broke UE single-season records for both hits (91) and RBI (75), while hitting a team-best .371. Wallace earned first team all-MVC and MVC All-Tournament Team honors for UE, while ranking among the Valley's leaders in batting average (4th-.371), slugging percentage (2nd-.678), runs scored (5th-55), hits (1st-91), RBI (1st-75), doubles (2nd-22), triples (1st-13), home runs (10th-nine), and total bases (1st-166).

Sydney rallies to help freezing pilgrims
More than 6000 World Youth Day pilgrims have been given extra clothing and 21 have visited hospital emergency departments after being caught out by Sydney's cold snap.
Organisers said some pilgrims from Oceania and Africa had simply never felt such cold before and came to the event ill-prepared.
Temperatures in Sydney fell to 5.7 degrees on Saturday night, the coldest night of the year so far.
Catholic communities across the state put out an appeal for warm clothing at the weekend and have been inundated by the response.
Members from the Catholic Women's League of Australia spent the weekend knitting socks, scarves and jumpers frantically for pilgrims, while Qantas has donated 10,000 of the airlines old blankets.
The Lismore diocese hosted 400 pilgrims from the Solomon Islands and gave each pilgrim 10 items of warm clothing.
The World Youth Day's Pilgrim Partnership Support Program co-ordinator Therese Nichols said that the generosity shown by Australians would mean that no pilgrim would go cold.
"For many of the European and American pilgrims who are coming here, they know what cold weather is like because they're used to it but people from Oceania, for example, have just never experienced this type of cold," she said.
The NSW Government's event spokeswoman Kristina Keneally said the problems were exacerbated by thousands of pilgrims who failed to register before coming to Sydney.
She confirmed 21 pilgrims visited hospital for routine checks because of the cold.
The president of the Catholic Women's League in the Sydney Archdiocese, Moya Potts, said donations had come from across the state.
"A lot of knitting came in on the weekend from people who heard of the appeal and decided to help," she said.

Those look really nice; though I'm not that brave. You did a great job.
Okay so the stippling of firearms or accessories isn't anything new (and there are other threads about it), but I was surprised that it's application on HK's wasn't more prevalent. Especially considering when these weapons are employed in maritime environments. The positive control offered by this modification is extremely substantial, even when wearing gloves (to include wet ones). I've been stippling some of my firearms for quite some time and thought I would share. The process is very time consuming and you must have large amounts of patience, concentration and attention to detail. The process typically consumes at least an hour on just a MP5 type lower grip housing.
I use a standard soldering iron and ground the tip to the desired shape. Each divot is methodically done by hand in a tight overlapping completely random pattern that utilizes the heat generated to melt the area as I go. The motion of your hand is similar to that of a tattoo gun. I experimented with various patterns but none of which I believe offered the practical benefits or aesthetic value of the technique that essentially looks and feels similar to "plastic grip-tape." I have seen other examples where guys have just divoted dots, or burnt large lines that look similar to bark. I've also seen wood burning kits being employed that the user can select various tips to make certain patterns. Most of which is just user preference. But again, the results I feel seem to offer the most benefits and aesthetic value is the technique I described which in the end looks and feels like grip tape.
Anyways, here is a sampling of some of the mods I've done to some of my SBR clones, and some that are in progress. I have also been chopping down and stippling the Knight's Armament (KAC) Vertical Foregrips as well. Shortening them, especially on the MP5 types helps to keep them out of the way when conducting mag changes. Note, on the USC I dyed it black originally, then stippled it, and then had to dye it again.

Those look really nice; though I'm not that brave. You did a great job.
How long did it take?
I have a tutorial on how to do this on ARFCOM. It's not hard at all, I've just never felt the need to do it on my HK's. Well, except for a G36 handguard.
It looks nice from a distance.. but up close you can see it was done by hand and not appealing to me. I could NEVER do that to my gun. ;o)
Those look nice. do you offer this as a service?
Also, can you explain your process on coloring in the engraving? I need to fill in same safe/semi engravings on an AR15 lower. Thanks.
Looks very nice!
I would be interested in having one of my lowers done. How much would you charge?
