Convicted murderer Gary Haugen's request to be executed will be heard by the state Supreme Court this week.
The seven justices will hear oral arguments Thursday on whether the twice-convicted murderer can legally reject an unconditional reprieve issued by Gov. John Kitzhaber in 2011. Kitzhaber's action blocked the execution two weeks before it was scheduled to take place.
Haugen won the first round in Marion County Circuit Court this past August, when visiting Judge Timothy Alexander ruled that Haugen could refuse the reprieve.
The Supreme Court accepted Kitzhaber's appeal directly, The Statesmen Journal reported Sunday.
Kitzhaber argues Haugen has no legal right to reject a reprieve because of the Oregon Constitution, the historical circumstances of clemency, and previous court decisions about the governor's clemency powers, according to written arguments filed with the court.
The Department of Justice argues that the governor's constitutional power of clemency is clear. Oregon's Constitution grants power to the governor to issue reprieves, commutations and pardons "after conviction" for all offenses except treason, in which case a sentence can be delayed until the Legislature decides what to do.
"The provision itself contains no explicit requirement that to be valid, a reprieve must be accepted," Solicitor General Anna Joyce wrote. "The provision also makes it plain that the governor is the only one with any authority to grant clemency. No mention is made that another person, let alone an inmate, shares or controls that power."
Haugen's lawyers say Kitzhaber's reprieve deprives him of federal constitutional rights such as a ban on cruel and unusual punishment.
"There is nothing inherently implausible about the idea that (an) inmate has the power to reject an act of clemency, such as a commutation that would result in his release from prison, or a reprieve in a non-capital case, so that he remains incarcerated against the will of the state's executive power," wrote Harrison Latto, Haugen's lawyer.
The hearing will be at the University of Oregon, where the justices meet as part of their annual circuit of the state's three law schools.
The justices will not announce a decision immediately. The justices usually take six to nine months to issue a decision, but face no deadline.
Haugen was sentenced to death in 2007 for aggravated murder, the only crime for which Oregon's death penalty applies, in connection with the killing of another inmate at the Oregon State Penitentiary. He turns 51 this month.
Another 35 men and one woman are on death row.
Kitzhaber's reprieve will last during his term, expiring Jan. 12, 2015, or in 2019 if he seeks and wins another term in 2014.

Meyerson on Pelosi
In next month's TAP:
Republican Speaker Dennis Hastert and Majority Leader Tom DeLay have decreed that all significant legislation is to be passed by straight GOP party-line votes. Save on the most trivial issues, no floor amendments are permitted under DeLay's rules, and no Democrats are allowed on conference committees, which frequently rewrite major bills in accord with DeLay's diktats.
"It's not anything to whine about," Pelosi says matter-of-factly. "We just have to win. No whining, just winning."
Indeed, Democrats of all tendencies sound the same optimistic notes again and again. They are enthused that after years of defections to the Republican position on many key votes, the caucus now displays an almost unprecedented unity in its voting. (Congressional Quarterly found that last year's level of party unity in Democratic voting was the highest since 1960.) They approve of their leaders' consistent attacks on the Bush administration and DeLay's banana Republicans. They feel that all wings of the caucus are getting not only a fair hearing by party leaders but also real input into party positions. They even believe that their leaders' indefatigable fund raising and candidate recruitment have been going so well that they have a shot at retaking the House.
And when asked why they feel this way, all of them come around to the same answer: Nancy Pelosi.
"More than anyone else I know, she involves many members of the caucus on bills," says one congressional staff director. "Everybody has a role to play." Pelosi also has a crucial instinct for striking a political balance. Perhaps the most liberal Democrat ever to lead the caucus, she has cultivated a very close relationship with the more moderate party whip, Steny Hoyer of Maryland (her onetime rival in the three-year contest for the whip's position that she won in 2001), and appointed centrist budget and military-affairs expert Spratt to the newly created post of assistant to the leader.
Has Pelosi moved to the right to hold the Democrats together? In fact, Pelosi has evolved much as Democratic voters evolved during the presidential primaries: toward a politics that combines populist economics with deficit hawkishness and a heavily armed multilateralism. Nearly a year before Democratic voters figured it out, Pelosi decided that the party needed unity and electability above all else.
Yet "[you] can be misled by her when you first meet her," cautions Robert Matsui, the Sacramento congressman whom Pelosi has installed as head of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC). "You think she's charming and sophisticated, but she's one of the toughest human beings I've ever met in terms of her goal orientation and her intensity."
When the public looks at Pelosi, though, it sees a breakthrough figure in American politics, the woman who shattered the highest glass ceiling yet, and who will go higher still should she become speaker of the House, third in the line of presidential succession, after November. "Many Democrats are getting super excited about [the prospect of] the first woman speaker," says the DCCC's Bernards. "Since Nancy started signing our mail, we've had over a million dollars a month for over 10 months in a row now."
At any given moment, Pelosi can choose to be a symbol of continuity with the old order or the personification of a brave new one—or both. "I think we are going to win," she says. "And we'll turn this"—gesturing to denote both the room and the political climate—"back into Tip O'Neill's"—that is, the speaker's—"office."

11th year of Electric Power Industry Reform Act (Epira)
Aquino cronies taking advantage of power privatization at the people's expense
Press statement
June 8, 2012
Reference: Eleanor de Guzman (Deputy Secretary-General)
As President Benigno Aquino III boasts of the supposedly inclusive growth of the economy, the policies he implements have been excluding the poor while further enriching the rich, including his relatives and cronies. This is clearly illustrated in the case of the Electric Power Industry Reform Act (Epira), which today marks its 11th year of implementation.
Enacted on June 8, 2001 in compliance to conditions set by foreign creditors Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the World Bank, Epira, or the privatization and deregulation of the power industry, is one of the most oppressive programs started by the Arroyo administration. Aquino has faithfully embraced this flawed policy that has been harming the people and the economy with exorbitant power rates and energy insecurity. It is further proof that while promising reforms, Aquino in reality is no different from his predecessor especially in terms of economic programs and policies.
Today, the country is being saddled with the most expensive power rates in Asia due to the privatization and deregulation of electricity under Epira. From an average residential rate of P4.87 per kWh in 2000, the rate of the Manila Electric Company (Meralco) has ballooned to as much as P12.97 today – or an increase of more than 166 percent. There is no end in sight for the surge in power costs. This month, Meralco is again hiking its rates by more than 54 centavos per kWh to supposedly cover for increases in the generation charge. This is on top of Meralco's separate petition to also hike its distribution, metering and supply charges of 3.21 centavos per kWh, which will take effect in July when approved by the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC).
Instead of reconsidering Epira due to its harmful effects on the people and the economy, the administration is intent to complete its implementation. In Mindanao, where Epira is not yet fully applied, Aquino has been pushing for the privatization of the Agus-Pulangi hydropower complex despite resistance from various sectors including local government units (LGUs). The President even said that Mindanao has to accept higher power rates to supposedly address its serious supply insecurity, unmindful of the fact that the region is already paying for electricity rates which are much higher than those in richer cities in Asia.
Who benefits from the privatization of the power industry? Under Epira, only three groups now control about 52% of the country's total generating capacity – San Miguel Corporation (SMC) of Aquino's uncle, Danding Cojuangco (20%); and First Gen. Corp. of the Lopezes (17%) and energy firms held by the Aboitizes (15%) – both long-time and close allies of the Aquino family. These families also own the biggest distribution utilities (DUs) in the country. SMC and the Lopezes control Meralco, together with Manny Pangilinan, who is Aquino's point person in clinching business deals with American companies, being the founding co-chairman of the newly-formed US-Philippines Society. The Aboitiz family, meanwhile, controls the dominant DUs in the Visayas and Mindanao – the Visayan Electric Co. (Veco) and Davao Light and Power Co.
By promoting the Epira, Aquino is creating an even more favorable condition for these families to further milk the people dry through ever increasing electricity rates. This belies Aquino's oft-repeated claim that his government is pushing for political and economic reforms that will benefit the people under his much-hyped "daang matuwid". In reality, it is business as usual for the rich and powerful under Aquino, at the great expense of the people, especially the poor.
We reiterate our demand for policy makers to junk Epira and reverse the privatization and deregulation of the power sector. In the immediate, the Agus-Pulangi complex in Mindanao and the remaining power plants of the National Power Corporation should not be sold to profit-seeking private investors. Rate increases should also be stopped pending the legislation of a new law that will scrap the Epira and will effectively regulate the power industry, including the setting of reasonable rates. #

Emergency center monitors bike race in Colorado Springs
Center normally used for wildfires, blizzards, other disasters
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Ensuring that Thursday's USA Pro Challenge bike race proceeded smoothly was the responsibility of the Emergency Operations Center in Colorado Springs.
The center normally is used for wildfires, blizzards and other disasters. However, it has been utilized for other major events in recent years, such as the annual bike race.
Deputy Director Bart Howard said about 70 city and state department heads staffed the center during the race.
"They're monitoring every detail of where the racers are," he said. "So, it would be very difficult to monitor something this complex without their help."
Howard said the center coordinated with an incident command post at the race site.
"We don't get involved with the smallest details of the race," he said. "That's for the race organizers. What we do is be prepared for the unexpected -- a criminal act, something like that."
Howard said the center staff also used the race as training for future events, and to learn what's good and bad before, during and after an event.

Tweet A couple of days before last Christmas I got in mailbox an announcement telling me I had a parcel from Norway waiting for me at the local post office (which is in the next village).
"Hmmm!" I say opening my eyes wide and twisting my mouth appropriately to express my intrigue. I wasn't expecting anything from the long country of the North. After seeing the parcel's weight written on the slip I reckoned, and hoped, they were beers. And so it was. Jens from Haandbryggeriet had sent me a few samples of his beers: Aqua Vita Porter, Haandbakk, Norse Porter, Dark Force, Gravøl (that will have a separate review) and one of my last year's favourites, Norwegian Wood, plus one more bottle that didn't survive the trip.
I must say that, after having tasted several of their beers, Haandbryggeriet has become one of my favourite breweries. Their product line is very interesting and varied, many of the beers are fermented using their own strain of "wild yeast" and recreate ancient Norwegian recipes. It might turn out that some of the results are not to everyone's taste, but their concept and execution still deserve praise.
The one I was most curious about from the batch was Aquavita Porter. This "fad" of aging or maturing beers in oak barrels, specially if they were used for other drinks, is really interesting, even if some of the products don't turn out that good. This one in particular is a Norwegian Porter with 10%ABV that was matured in old Aquavit barrels. Since I had never drunk that traditional Scandinavian spirit, I had no idea about what to expect from this beer.
Aquavita Porter is fantastic! Boozy nose that reminds a bit of Cognac, with notes of burnt wood and some dried fruits. It's incredibly complex, bitter chocolate, pepper, burnt sugar, mild vanilla. Each of them taking their turn without stepping on the other one's toes. All ends in a dry and slightly spicy finish. Despite all this and its rather high ABV the beer goes down really smooth. Great to sit by the fireplace reading a good book. Spectacular!
The other Barrel Aged sample of the bunch was Haandbakk, a Sour Ale with 7.5%ABV that was matured in old French wine casks. Definitely not recommended for beginners. Those of you who have never tried a sour beer, or those who don't like them, better stay away from this one. Now, for those of you who do enjoy some sourness in your lives, this is something you should have a go at. Pours a pretty fizzy ocher. The nose is a mix of Extra Brut Champagne with mild caramel. My taste for sour beers is not all that well developed yet, at the beginning I found Haandback to be very pleasant, the sour notes were well balanced by sweet fruit. However, as I emptied that half litre measure and the beer warmed up, the sourness built up and I didn't find it so easy to drink anymore, but that's something that's happened to me with, for example, Cantillon Geueze. Perhaps I could enjoy it a lot more in smaller measures or paired with some really aromatic cheese.
Leaving the realm of the exotic for a bit I chose Norse Porter and its more moderated 6.5%ABV. It pours as expected and already here you can see its excessive carbonation, which by the way, is a problem I've seen in several beers from HaandBryggeriet. So many bubbles do away with much of the body, that aside, Norse Porter is a fine beer, with aromas that remind of chocolate with a smoked note or two. The chocolate, now more intense, comes back in the taste, now joined by caramel. The finish is long and has some pleasant sourness added to it. Nothing out of the ordinary, nothing out of place, either.
It took me several days, if not weeks, to finally open Wild Thing. I thought it would be something on the lines of Haandbakk and I really have to be in a special state of mind to tackle a sour beer. When the day arrived I was met by a very pleasant surprise.
Wild Thing is one of those "historical beers" of HaandBryggeriet. Its label says that is brewed with three grains, flavoured with cranberries and currant and fermented using the house's wild yeast. It pours and intense reddish amber, topped by a compact head that his a mild pink hue. The best way to describe its aroma and flavour is a "blend between dunklesweizen and fruit lambic". That might not sound very appealing to some of you, but believe me, it is a delicious beer. Perfectly balanced, each of its elements know the role they have to play and don't do anything they shouldn't. Even my wife, who doesn't even want to hear about sour beers, loved it. Even with a rather respectable 7%, Wild Thing goes down almost like session beer. I see it ideal to drink in a cool summer evening while the sun goes down.
To close the session I was left with Dark Force, which calls itself an Imperial Double Wheat Stout or whatever. To the eye looks just like any other Imperial Stout. There was too much alcohol on the nose backed only by some dry wood. Perhaps I was expecting something more complex or exotic, but the truth is that it didn't quite make it for me. It's halfway between the Impy and a Weizenbock or something similar, but without the most interesting bits of either of them. It could be a good alternative for someone who's never had a dark beer of such intense character, but I expected more.
As whole, these bunch serve to reinforce my sympathies for HaandBryggeriet. I really like their philosophy of digging out some recipes from the past using them to, paradoxically, offer something new and out of the ordinary; at the same time breaking a bit the mold that good beer can only be made with a limited set of ingredients and that they should fit into a specific style. Yeah, there are a few breweries around the world that do something similar, but that doesn't take away merit from this Norwegian brewers.

The crisis in global coking coal supply due to wet weather in Queensland could prove a mixed blessing for
The good news is the Australian company sources all of its coking coal from NSW, which has not been affected by flooding.
That will give BlueScope a production advantage over rivals in Japan, Korea and Taiwan that depend heavily on Queensland coal if their stockpiles run down.
But with all indications being that the price of coking coal is likely to rise steeply in the second quarter, BlueScope will need the steel price to rise enough to compensate. Otherwise, its profitability will take a hit.
"A large number global steel producers will be pushing for higher prices," Royal Bank of Scotland analyst Todd Scott said.
"It all depends on how strong underlying demand comes back. Demand appears to be improving right now, but that may only turn out to be restocking."
Over the last month, the price of hot-rolled coil (HRC) – the type sold by BlueScope – has risen by about 6 per cent. But the spot price of coking coal – an indicator as to where the contract price could fall in the second quarter – has risen by 20 per cent.
For every $US10 a tonne the coking coal price rises, BlueScope needs the steel price to rise by $US12.50 a tonne to compensate.
Depending on the length of the supply disruptions from Queensland mines, rival producers in Asia may need to cut back on production. If there is strong demand for steel, that could lead to a price rise beyond the raw material costs that would benefit BlueScope.
"It will be a nervous time for steel mills," UBS commodities analyst Tom Price said. "Either they can't produce the steel . . . or they have to do it at a higher cost and either their margins get squeezed or they run the risk of lifting prices and losing market share."
He thinks the worst-case scenario is three months of lost production from the Queensland coking coal mines. That would result in a 10 per cent fall in global seaborne coking coal supply for 2011. Chinese steel makers, which are sourcing an increasing amount of coking coal from Mongolia rather than Australia, would be less affected than those elsewhere in Asia.
OneSteel's Whyalla blast furnace is due to start more than two months of repairs in May. It would take until the start of April for a large increase in the coking coal price to set in. When the blast furnace is shut down, OneSteel will be exporting even more iron ore than usual. OneSteel's other production comes from electric arc furnaces which do not require any coking coal.
There are some concerns in the market that a lack of coking coal could lead to lower iron ore demand, and an accompanying price fall. However, in a potential offsetting factor, the iron ore mines in Western Australia and Brazil are also subject to disruptions during the wet season.
Since the start of December, BlueScope shares have risen by 15 per cent and OneSteel's by 5 per cent. That compares with a 3 per cent rise in the S&P/ASX 200 over the same period.

st: Plot after regression using linear splines - any way to add confidence intervals?
Thu, 16 Jul 2009 16:19:53 +0200
Dear all,
I am currently estimating more-way fixed effects regressions using
Thomas Cornelissens felsdvreg-command (Cornelißen, T. [2008]: The
stata module felsdvreg to estimate a linear model with two
high-dimensional fixed effects, The Stata Journal, 8(2), pp. 170-189.)
using linear splines in x. After estimation I want to graph the
relationship between the outcome and x (which is not the problem) and
add confidence intervals that reflect the fact that not all of the
estimates parameters are significant (similar to -lpoly y x, ci-).
Unfortunately, I can't get the last part to work.
I have created a small example using the NLSY-data used in [XT] and
simple FE-regressions to illustrate the point.
use http://www.stata-press.com/data/r10/nlswork, clear
xtset idcode year
mkspline agespl 20 = age, dis
xtreg ln_wage agespl*, fe cluster(idcode)
predict yhat
twoway line yhat age, sort
lpoly ln_wage age, ci noscatter
What I would like to do is adding confidence intervals to to the first
graph that reflect the fact that, e.g., agespl1 is estimated with less
precision than, e.g., agespl3 - similar to the -lpoly- results. Is
there any way to do this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,

Food and china; seems an odd combination doesn't it? No, I'm not referring to the Middle Kingdom, but to Denmark's illustrious maker of all things porcelain, Royal Copenhagen. In 2007, one of the world's oldest china manufacturers got together with some other famous Danish brands and boldly branched out into the restaurant trade. The team tasked to make this happen was Danish businessman, Rud Christiansen and his wife Lo Østergaard, who are the sole owners of this venture. The idea was to create a new, exciting way of promoting these manufacturers and the end result was The Royal Cafe, located in an old building dating to 1616, sandwiched between Royal Copenhagen and Georg Jensen's flagship stores in Copenhagen.
The Royal Cafe is a fantastically quirky place. It feels like the very antithesis to those bland identikit coffee shops that now seem to have infiltrated every corner of the globe. The interior consists of a long room with chandeliers hanging from the crazy wall-papered ceiling, and is adorned with objects ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous, in a style the Cafe calls "Funky Baroque". The room is littered with objects from Danish design brands such as Kvadrat, Holmegaard, Bang & Olufsen, and Fritz Hansen among others, with the plates coming from Royal Copenhagen and the cutlery from Georg Jensen. The walls are garishly pink and are graced by some enourmous portraits, a huge circular table and a long dining table dominate the two ends of the room. The overall effect is part Mad Hatter's Tea Party and part Wallpaper* magazine photo shoot.
Of course, we can't forget the food. This being a cafe they serve the usual selection of teas and coffees and also have traditional cakes and pastries. However, the main event here is smørrebrød, which is basically an open-faced sandwich that is a national obsession in Denmark. With such a unique interior you wouldn't expect The Royal Cafe to be serving plain 'ol smørrebrød, and indeed, the cafe has come up with a modern, fresh take on the classic open-faced sandwich. They combine Scandinavian ingredients to create bite sized sandwiches, that they rather ridiculously call "Smushies" - a cross between smørrebrød and sushi.
There is a selection of ten different sandwiches on offer that you can mix and match to suit your taste. I opted to try the "Fishcake with Danish remoulade", "Parisian steak with exciting topping", "Smoked salmon with egg and dill cream", and the "Chicken salad with white asparagus". Mrs. Nibbler, on account of our forthcoming dinner at Noma that evening (see review here), opted for a lighter dish of fresh tomato soup and bread.
I was hoping for the food to be a little more adventurous. Given that The Royal Cafe bills itself as providing a new take on smørrebrød, the toppings seemed to err on the conservative side. Smoked salmon with egg mayonnaise, chicken salad with bacon, and tomato soup, although tasty, just don't live up to the promise of such a quirkily styled restaurant. The 'exciting' topping that came with the Parisian steak sandwich turned out to be nothing more scintillating than pickles, and as far as I could discern the 'sushi' part of The Royal Cafe's 'smushi' concept refers to the portion size as opposed to the actual ingredients used. The food here is not bad per se, it's just a touch underwhelming.
I don't think I'd come back here for lunch, but if you're after an afternoon pick-me-up of coffee and cakes then The Royal Cafe certainly provides a fun and unusual diversion from the cookie-cutter chains of coffee shops. The interior alone is bound to make you smile.
(Update: In October 2010, Rud and Lo opended their second Royal Cafe in the upscale Ginza area of Tokyo. Judging by the photos, the interior design looks to be every bit as eclectic as the flagship café in Copenhagen).

TUC nominates Bernadette Segol
ETUC General Secretary elections
October 2010
The TUC has nominated Bernadette Segol to be the next General Secretary of the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC). The ETUC Executive Committee will decide in December who should succeed John Monks, who retires at the ETUC Congress in Athens next May.
Bernadette Segol is currently the Regional Secretary of UNI Europa, a sectoral confederation bringing together unions in the private services sector, from banking to telecommunications, with 330 affiliated trade unions and 7 million members.
Born in Luzech, a village in the South-West of France, Bernadette has a Masters in Philosophy from Toulouse University. She has worked in the international and European trade union movement since 1974. She took up her current post when UNI was created out of a merger of three sectoral confederations in 2000.
If elected, Bernadette will be the first woman General Secretary of the ETUC, which was founded in 1973 and now has 60 million members across the EU, EFTA and EU candidate countries. She would also become the General Secretary of the Pan-European Regional Council of the ITUC, which stretches from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
Under her leadership, UNI Europa took a leading role in campaigning to ensure the Services Directive did not undermine workers' rights, campaigned for the Temporary Agency Workers Directive, and established over 200 European Works Councils giving workers a voice in Europe's major multinational companies.
Commenting on the current wave of austerity and neo-liberalism sweeping Europe, Bernadette said: 'Budgetary deficits must be dealt with; but a short-sighted, short-term belt tightening policy, as it is implemented now in most countries, will prevent the return to growth. Governments are too quick in switching from exit strategies to strict austerity measures. In many EU countries tax policies have to change: the very rich must contribute much more to the re-balancing of the economies.'

Help! I have two Beagle mix dogs, one is a 10 month old puppy and the other is a 6 years old. Both are crate trained. They have toys in their crates to chew on as well as a bone. But they always destroy their beds first. It is getting frustrating, not to mention expensive. We have tried expensive beds, cheap beds, blankets, rugs, and even spraying them down with Bitter Apple. Nothing seems to fix this problem. They do fine at night when they are in there but not when they are home alone and in their crates. My husband is a stay at home dad so he is at home all day long with the dogs. He does leave from time to time and I am thinking maybe they have a hard time being separated from him when is gone for a few hours. He tries to take them with from time to time but the puppy gets terrible car sickness and throws up everytime she is in the car so she doesn't go with very often. She has been crate trained since we first got her at 3 weeks so she doesn't have a problem being in her crate. The older dog, however, we just got about 5 months ago and wasn't crate trained. We crate trained him and does well at night but I think he gets stressed out when we leave him home.
Does anyone have any other suggestions? They both get plenty of exercise outside and lots of love from us. We are just going broke buying all of these beds! Please help!

This chapter argues that the process of globalisation means that comparative research is no longer a choice but rather a necessity. Since, also, the transnational critiques of cross-national research appear compelling, comparative approaches now require a sound theoretical and political as well as methodological underpinning. Using examples from media and communications research, I argue that approaches which seek to do away with the importance of 'nation' go too far, and that instead the role of the nation, as a unit of analysis, should be rethought in terms of a civic/democratic or civic republican model rather than either extreme of the ethno-cultural nation or the cosmopolitan ideal.

Tennessee basketball player Jordan McRae announced Saturday that he plans to return to UT for his senior season.
The 6-5 guard from Midway, Ga., had explored the possibility of entering this summer's NBA Draft and had requested an evaluation from the NBA's Undergraduate Advisory Committee.
"I'm not ready for my experience at Tennessee to be over," McRae said. "I couldn't pass up the opportunity to be a part of next year's team, because I think we have a chance to have a great season. I also think there are aspects of my game I can improve by spending another year with my coaches and teammates here at Tennessee."
Following completion of the 2013 Spring semester, McRae will be 24 credit hours shy of earning his degree in Sociology/Criminal Justice.
After averaging 8.6 points as UT's sixth man a season ago, McRae emerged this year as a legitimate SEC Player of the Year contender. He averaged 19.2 points during conference play to finish as the league's third-leading scorer. He earned first-team All-SEC status from both the league's head coaches and the Associated Press.
McRae finished the season as Tennessee's team leader in scoring (15.7 ppg), minutes played (33.6 mpg), 3-pointers made (60) and attempted (169) and 3-point percentage (.355) while ranking second in assists (2.0 apg), blocks (0.9 bpg) and steals (0.8 spg).
Showcasing his versatility, he played every position but the No. 5 spot, with starts at the 1, 2 and 4 positions.
McRae led the Vols in scoring 15 times, blocks 10 times, steals nine times and assists eight times. He scored at least 25 points six times this season and posted two 30-point outings.
He dropped a career-high 35 points on Georgia in Athens while shooting 8-for-11 from 3-point range.
Three mainstream college basketball experts - ESPN's Jay Bilas and Jimmy Dykes, along with SI.com's Seth Davis - selected McRae as their choice for SEC Player of the Year.
"I'm happy that Jordan is coming back, and I also think he was smart to request an evaluation of his draft status after the season he had," Vols head coach Cuonzo Martin said. "In the two years I've been here at Tennessee, I've been very impressed with Jordan's development on and off the court. I think he has a chance to go down as one of the truly special players at UT if he continues to work like he has the past two years.
"Jordan is going to graduate, which is something that's very important to him and his parents. It's important to me as well. He's setting himself up for a great future."
McRae has improved his scoring, rebounding and assists averages - as well as his field-goal, 3-point and free-throw shooting percentages every year during his Tennessee career.
He is 171 points shy of joining Tennessee's "1,000-Point Club," and he will be one of the nation's top returning offensive threats next season.

Intrepid Varsity reporter Brookes Merritt recently found himself invited to observe an adult-novelty party for women. Hot, bothered, and gleefully embarrassed, he joined a throng of excited Edmonton women for an eye-opening night behind a curtain of privacy. Here is his tale.When fifteen women stay in on a Saturday night, and gossip over red wine-it's called a girl's night. When one of them brings a suitcase full of dildos and vibrators-it's called a sex toy party.Rachael M. didn't know what to expect when she offered to host one."I'd never even heard of a sex toy party before. An acquaintance offered to set it up if I could get some girlfriends together. I thought it might be interesting," she said. The premise is simple; it's a Tupperware party with sex toys. A representative is invited to the hosts' home, and shows a variety of toys. At the end of the evening, guests are able to purchase whatever they wish, by privately selecting their desired toys, and scurrying away with a bag of goodies.Back in Rachael's den, the women relaxed on the couches while the evening's emcee-Lisa from Spice It Up Novelties, addressed the group."I'm going to begin by showing you some lotions and massage oils," she said. A few excited titters from the group were barely audible over groans from other women eager to get on with it.The party presented the expected menu; beginning with appetizers like Nipple Nibbler-a flavoured arousal lubricant, Liquid Virgin-a lotion designed to plump up the labia and tighten the vagina; and Female Response-a cream intended to sensitize and engorge the clitoris (a sample of which was discreetly placed in the bathroom for the ladies to try). Foreplay toys like feather ticklers, soft hand-cuffs, and anal lube followed. "I thought the erotic dice were kind of cute," said Jenna, as 24-year-old elementary teacher, referring to a pair of dice that prompt lovers to engage in a variety of activities throughout the home.The main course consisted of large silicone and latex toys for both vaginal and anal use.The ladies took a short break after a few final dismal showings: penis and boob-shaped pasta, nudie playing cards, and scarlet red penis lipstick among them. Lisa then passed around a variety of bigger toys, including a shocking array of latex dildos, vibrators, and vibrating clit-ticklers called "bullets." Nancy, a 23-year old university student expressed her interest almost immediately. "I can't say I've ever used one of those," she said as Lisa pulled out the Beaver Twister, an elaborate battery operated dildo with swirling beads about the shaft, a tip that moves in small circles, and a bullet coated in soft silicone to stimulate the clitoris-an excellent penile substitute.The party concluded with private sales, in which the women met with Lisa to make their purchases."This part is usually pretty secretive," she explained. "I've set up a display room upstairs where you can inspect the toys more closely and make your choices."The women entered the room quickly and quietly, sometimes alone, sometimes in pairs. Each exited with a discreet brown paper bag, and departed with few words."I've been to a few of these," said one older woman. "The younger girls are sometimes less interested in touching and inspecting the toys than the older ladies like me."Lisa explained why so many women enjoy the party. "The allure of the parties is their social nature," she said. "They foster a more comfortable environment for women to buy toys than in sex shops."Jose Vicente is the owner of Seductions Love Boutique on Yonge Street. He maintains that the popularity of sex shops on the rise, and that women frequent his store just as often as men. "Slowly but surely, business has been getting better since we first opened our doors here five years ago," he said.Vicente also owns a boutique in Montreal."It's surprising. In Montreal our clientele is mostly men, I'd say about 70 percent, but over here it's about fifty-fifty," he said.With Valentine's Day just a few days away, Seductions is busy. Most of the customer are female, and Vicente knows exactly what they want."Everyone loves the Fuzuoku 9000," he said. The "intimate massager" is a tiny vibrator with a latex tip that slips over the fingertip. Dr. Sue Johanson has lauded it as the best-valued sex toy on the market on The Sunday Night Sex Show. It's Seductions' best seller, among men and women.But for Vicente's money, and for anywhere between $100-200 of yours, the toy to be had by all women is a dildo like Lisa's Beaver Twister. Some other types are the Techno Rabbit, and the Passionate Dolphin-named for the shape of the silicone or latex sleeve that covers the clit-tickling bullet."They're the best toys on the market," Vicente said. "They give three different kinds of stimulation-inside, on the lips, and on the clit. A regular vibrator only gives one sensation."To the untrained eye they look positively monstrous."If men could only be born with one of these for a penis," Vicente imagines wishfully, "women wouldn't need their toys anymore."

Be Summer Weather-Ready!
Date Posted: June 18, 2014
|Be a Force of Nature this summer!
This summer, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) asks you to Be A Force of Nature! by becoming Summer Weather-Ready. Help us spread the word to ensure that everyone stays safe this summer! Summer in the northern hemisphere begins June 21 and lasts until September 23. It's an active season for people, the atmosphere and the oceans. People stay out later and longer, and more storms spin up. This combination provides us the opportunity for lots of fun, outdoor activities, but it also increases our risk to certain environmental hazards. NOAA wants to raise the nation's awareness to be Summer Weather-Ready!
So when you are walking or playing sports, attending summer camps, vacationing, or having general fun with friends and family, make sure you know your risks and are prepared to take action against heat distress, poor air quality, lightning strikes, wildfires, floods, rip currents, hurricanes and tornadoes… just to name a few.
Considering this list, can you say already that you and those in your care (including pets) are Summer Weather-Ready? NOAA wants you to "Be A Force of Nature!" and be prepared at home, camp, vacation, and wherever your travels take you. Spread the word with #BeAForce on Twitter.
Use the Summer Weather-Ready Social Media Plan for preparedness suggestions to promote safety during severe weather and at the beach. Share the knowledge and Be A Force of Nature! Be Summer Weather-Ready!
Follow Us! - @NOAA, @NWS, @OwlieSkywarnNWS NWS will be using #BeAForce this summer for Summer Weather-Ready Posts.

Owl Butterfly Opsiphanes spp.
The butterfly members of this Order of insects include the popular and usually colorful species. Butterfly groups include monarchs, satyrs, dagerwings, leaf-wings, owls, buckeyes, admirals, checkerspots, fritillaries, heliconids, riodinids, blues, hairstreaks, coppers, whites, orange-tips, sulphurs and swallowtails.
Belonging to the same family of butterflies as the famous Owl Butterflies, this Opiphanes genus contains about ten different species which can be challenging to differentiate. This group is characteristically crepuscular, being most active during the dawn and dusk hours and patrolling the dark forest interior so their cryptic coloration optimally blends with the dark shadow. They can be attracted to fermenting fruit bait during daylight hours, although this one took an liking to a mammal carcass sitting in bright sunlight.

Software AG:
Thriving German software company consolidates communications on a global scale
Thriving German software company consolidates communications on a global scale
Software AG (SAG) had developed a complex global IT communications infrastructure, featuring over 300 individual contracts with more than 80 providers in 58 countries. New technologies were running alongside older ones.
But Dr Dirk Ventur had a different vision: a single service provider delivering a standardised and harmonised IP-based communications infrastructure as a managed service with full cost transparency, right across the corporation.
So it proved that by selecting BT as its prime contractor SAG took the first decisive step towards achieving its goals. In unifying its contracts for voice and data communications it has also created a far more flexible and resilient architecture. It's reduced costs by around 25 per cent too. That's great news for the company, its employees, and customers.
Our communications have now been standardised and made transparent, just as we wanted. Everything comes from one single source. BT and SAG have together managed to make the infrastructure so flexible that we also have a clear view of the individual elements at all times."
- Dr Dirk Ventur, CIO and Head of Global Support, Software AG
Software AG (SAG) offers an extensive product and service portfolio covering all aspects of IT infrastructure for service-orientated architectures (SOAs). The company, headquartered in Darmstadt, Germany, has more than 6,000 employees serving 10,000 enterprise and public service customers across 70 countries.
SAG had developed a complex global IT communications infrastructure, with over 300 individual contracts tied to more than 80 providers in 58 countries. In addition, different technologies, some of them obsolete, were running side-by-side; these included frame relay, internet-based connections, and leased lines.
When SAG launched its "Communications Consolidation" (ComCon) project, headed by Dr Dirk Ventur, CIO and Head of Global Support, one of the priorities was to compile a list of requirements for a standardised and harmonised communications infrastructure right across the corporation.
SAG wanted clear service level agreements, tied in with transparency in its contracts, costs and procedures, plus centralised billing. Another priority was to have all communications services provided by a single source, as a fully managed solution. The plan was to hand over any necessary implementation to a single service provider, together with management of the WAN, fixed telephony, and PBXs.
In this context, a key requirement was the planned implementation of an international data WAN using multi-protocol label switching (MPLS).
We have to change our network frequently because of decisions made at short notice, so the flexibility of the new network was a major factor for us," Dr Ventur explains. "Traditional topologies, based on different technologies at the various sites, had held us back quite considerably because of the long lead times required to make changes."
SolutionOf the 12 European companies submitting tenders, BT was, according to Dr Ventur, "the only one with an appropriate holistic concept", so SAG undertook to work with BT as the prime contractor. With BT's extensive portfolio of networked IT services, this collaboration represented a decisive step towards achieving SAG's goals of a harmonised infrastructure, standardised procedures, and centralised billing.
The IP Connect global MPLS-based WAN, which BT developed and implemented, connects over 40 sites.
The switchover was no problem – the teamwork was good and the link-up to the SAP interface went smoothly," says Dr Ventur.
Dr Ventur says: "BT's flexibility and the fail-safe nature of our new network constitute true added value. Even though we frequently have to change our plans as a result of decisions made at short notice, we can now rely on a consistently high level of performance."
SAG has saved around 25 per cent on its communications costs simply by unifying its contracts for voice and data. As initially hoped, the company can now count on reliable, direct service from one single provider in almost all areas of networking and communications.
SAG has also benefited from harmonising the management of its existing PBXs in 16 countries, as well as the management of fixed telephony in Germany and data communications in Germany and the UK.
The requirement for centralised billing is something else that BT has met in full. Dr Ventur explains: "Thanks to BT, we now have a straightforward, centralised invoicing procedure. BT also provides us with centralised support, including fault clearing."
Converged network
SAG's corporate network contained a mixture of different technologies such as ATM backbone systems and frame relay. The BT solution includes the implementation and management of a BT IP Connect global MPLS-based WAN for more than 40 sites, the management of PBX installations at 20 sites, and fixed telephony services in Germany.
MPLS is an IP-based standard for converged networks that supports traffic prioritisation. Business-critical applications or time-sensitive applications such as IP telephony and videoconferencing, for example, are given priority over less time-critical applications such as email or internet access. MPLS constitutes a good starting point for moving more services on to the network and is the ideal vehicle for a transition to exclusively IP-based technologies. SAG has already used Voice over IP (VoIP) in the past – for example, to connect some of its main sites – and is planning to rely on it more heavily in future.
Traffic prioritisation
MPLS is particularly suitable for multinational companies such as SAG that have heterogeneous communications traffic at various sites. With its any-to-any IP VPN links, BT IP Connect offers every corporate site direct access to any other site. Dedicated point-to-point connections between individual subsidiaries are no longer necessary, which simplifies configuration and helps to avoid long lead times for adding new services.
The WAN combines speed with flexibility and fail-safe performance. Moreover, MPLS is more flexible than traditional network solutions – for example, if greater bandwidth is required at short notice or if additional sites need to be integrated into the network. For SAG – which has extended its international presence by adding 12 new subsidiaries in 10 countries since the start of its co-operation with BT – this flexibility is business-critical.

Welcome to the home page of the WPI Pep Band!
Our halftime show for fall of 2017 will be Fall Out Boy!
To help prepare the halftime show, we will be holding a band camp from August 15th - 18th, which is immediately before New Student Orientation. If you will be joining us as a marching member, you will be required to attend. We will need you to let us know whether you are interested in marching with us by Saturday, July 1st, in order to prepare for your arrival and band camp.
The band is a completely student-run organization and performs at all home WPI football and basketball games, some away games, and we occasionally get invited to play at other games happening in the area. The band welcomes members of all musical ability – Don't be discouraged if you've never played or marched before, we can help you learn! We also have a color guard which is open to anyone who is willing to learn to spin. The Pep Band also offers physical education credit for those participating in football and/or basketball season. Participation in Pep Band for four seasons will therefore fulfill your physical education requirement. Despite being available for academic credit, members still find the rehearsals and performances to be very casual and loads of fun. The Pep Band is a spirited bunch that has much to offer its members, including friendship, pizza, movie nights, parties, and most importantly, good music!
Currently, we are looking for new members for football season! Please feel free to contact the officer board at email@example.com if you have any questions or you are interested in joining us for football or basketball season. Additionally, we have a Winter Guard so please contact the officers if you would like to participate in that as well.

Cove Haven Resort | All-Inclusive Poconos Resort
One of three couples-only resorts in the Poconos maintained by the Cove Haven Entertainment Resorts group. This all-Inclusive Romantic and Honeymoon Playground for Couples. Learn about Cove Haven and how to get the best prices on Cove Haven all-inclusive
Welcome to Cove Haven
The largest of the three Cove Haven Entertainment Resorts, Cove Haven is situated on Lake Wallenpaupack and secluded deep within the scenic northern region of the Pocono Mountains.
Cove Haven is both famous and fabulous. The couples-only resort that many lovers and honeymoon couples consider to be the perfect place for an idyllic romantic getaway.
Check out the Spring Vacation and Getaway Packages now offered.
The unique suites found at Cove Haven are designed with romantic fun and play in mind.
Cove Haven
Cove Haven is a couples-only resort for lovers. It is their largest resort with seven different lavish and sensual suites to choose from.
Completely sensual and romantic: round, king-sized beds surrounded by mirrors and wood burning fireplaces adorn most suites and are just the beginning.
All-Inclusive Packages
Packages are "all-inclusive" and include most meals, entertainment and a host of activities - including free activities indoors and out. Winter activities include free use of the resorts snowmobiles and snow tubing to name a few.
Where romance is concerned, Cove Haven holds nothing back with the suites. Suites with their own private pools are just the thing to shake off the chill and get the mood going. I have put together a guided tour of the rooms, for your convenience - along with suggested retail pricing (be sure to follow my advice on how to save to get a better rate)
TIP: Although there are seven room styles to choose from at Cove Haven, there are only two classes of rooms: those with private swimming pools, and those without. The three with pools are the Champagne Towers, Garden of Eden Apple, and the Cove Fantasy. All three are excellent choices. My favorite room without a pool is the Juliette - although it is one of the smallest, it has been completely renovated from floor to ceiling and has several romantic goodies you're sure to appreciate.

Late in June (last month) the Amazon Web Services suffered a catastrophic series of failures often now referred to as an "AWS Storm" and Netflix found themselves caught up in the middle of it as their own servers were intimately linked to Amazon's. Of course, an actual storm caused the AWS storm, but the effects on networked services were quite similar to having lightning strike your movie streaming. Learning from having underlying cloud-architecture fail and discovering how to make a network more resilient for customers is a big deal so Netflix went to work.
Before this happened, Netflix realized that in order to prepare for failures, simulating failures would be a way to watch how the entire system handled them. So the company came up with "Chaos Gorilla" part of the Simian Army, a services system that essentially generates unexpected failures in the resilient system in small doses to keep operations on their toes and aware.
What did Netflix learn from the failure we can use?
"Our own root-cause analysis uncovered some interesting findings, including an edge-case in our internal mid-tier load-balancing service," wrote Netflix in an operations blog on the subject. "This caused unhealthy instances to fail to deregister from the load-balancer which black-holed a large amount of traffic into the unavailable zone. In addition, the network calls to the instances in the unavailable zone were hanging, rather than returning no route to host."
These revelations led to some thoughts on what both AWS and Netflix could do to better prepare their services for the unexpected starting with enhancing middle-tier load balancing to better handle shifting load without failing and preventing gridlock when clients who suddenly lost connection try to reconnect and find themselves in a traffic jam.
The release of Chaos Monkey into the wild to show everyone it works
One element of the architecture that Netflix credits for working extremely well through the storm, Simian Army aka Chaos Monkey, is now being released to the community as source code. Chaos Monkey acts to give an element of "fail often" to the underlying architecture that doesn't disrupt the overall efficiency of the service—but does help highlight potential trouble areas in back up systems before they're needed to deal with a big event like an AWS storm.
It's a bizarre idea: generate controllable failures during work hours so that engineers are on call to deal with them, but it seems that Netflix thinks it's the technological panacea to not seeing a failure coming until it's too late.
"Chaos Monkey is a service which runs in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) that seeks out Auto Scaling Groups (ASGs) and terminates instances (virtual machines) per group. The software design is flexible enough to work with other cloud providers or instance groupings and can be enhanced to add that support," writes Netflix about the project. "In most cases, we have designed our applications to continue working when an instance goes offline, but in those special cases that they don't, we want to make sure there are people around to resolve and learn from any problems.
"With this in mind, Chaos Monkey only runs within a limited set of hours with the intent that engineers will be alert and able to respond."
It's a novel approach: Break yourself before something bigger breaks you.
Additional tools for preparing for disasters by providing testing metrics
The ability to create controllable failure and watch the system recover in AWS might be an excellent tool to combine with real-time log analysis such as that which Splunk offers—as we've seen it's a powerful tool for protecting critical infrastructure not just for cybersecurity but general maintenance. Often, there are warning signs that a portion of the infrastructure is going to fail, anomalies start to crop up, load shifts to places it shouldn't be as a RAID array is about to give up the ghost, or a network card is glitching out…but everything changes when it's the backup that's on the verge of failing.
Backup doesn't run when things are going well, it runs when things are going badly, so even the backup and the fail-over servers need to be tested.
Looking at the paradigm that Netflix is developing for the AWS with Chaos Monkey will help deliver data on how healthy the backup systems are during business hours (so that failures can be dealt with) and combined with strong data analysis will keep their systems in good working order.
Fail now and small when you can replace the components that might cause trouble in a larger failure and you won't need to worry about them when lightning hits the transformer outside one of your major data centers.

EY comments on the rise of discount retailers
8 April 2014
Julie Carlyle, Head of Retail at EY, comments on the rise of discount retailers:
"Consumer spending is very tight after several years of below inflation increases in take home pay. The consequence is that the supermarket sector is undergoing significant changes and we are seeing traditional successful players being hit hard as discount grocers excel in this new reality and achieve stellar results. Discount supermarkets may only account for 10% of the total grocery market, but their growth story is forcing the entire sector to sit up.
"Paradoxically we are seeing high-end stores doing well, based around a strong value and service mix which they have progressively developed over a number of years. Top performers in this market place have a clear positioning, know their customers, innovate constantly and can make quick decisions. Never has the old maxim "be cheaper or better but whatever you do don't get stuck in the middle" applied quite so clearly to this market.
"For the year ahead we expect a continued improvement in consumer confidence, leading to higher spending, however, the sustainability of recovery for retailers is ensuring they know their customer and pick the right products and channel to suit their needs. Finding the right model to do this, retaining flexibility and deciding where to prioritise spending or invest, is becoming increasingly difficult as the pace of change in this sector accelerates."

SteamOS Games: 'Metro: Last Light' Ported To Linux, Will Ship Free With All Beta Valve Steam Machines
- Shawn Ingram , Design & Trend
- Nov, 05, 2013, 03:52 PM
Later this year when Valve ships out its first-run Steam Machines to 300 lucky beta testers, each one of them will get a free game that will show off what the PC-based console is capable of.
According to PC Games N, today, Nov. 5, developer 4A Games and publisher Deep Silver released its popular "Metro: Last Light" first-person shooter on Linux, making it one of the highest profile games to support all three PC platforms on Steam. The game will also support SteamOS when Valve releases the platform later this year.
Every one of Valve's beta Steam Machines will ship with a free copy of "Metro: Last Light," so gamers will have at least one hardcore game from a developer other than Valve to play on the new console. The game will also support Valve's unique Steam controller as well, so gamers will get the full SteamOS experience when playing the game.
For those who aren't lucky enough to get a Valve Steam Machine, "Metro: Last Light" is also available for PC, Mac, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. The game takes place in a post-apocalyptic Russia where humanity is mostly confined to the metro tunnels beneath Moscow and other cities.
"Metro: Last Light" is known for its highly detailed graphics on the PC. The game looks about as good as many of the launch games for the PS4 and Xbox One on high-end PCs. Theoretically the game should look just as great on the Valve Steam Machine given its souped-up specs, though we'll have to wait and see how performance compares.
There are currently dozens of games in Steam that support Linux, all of which should support the Linux-based SteamOS, but there are very few big-name titles that support the platform. "Metro: Last Light" could be an indication that developers and publishers are interested in pursuing SteamOS development, or it could just be an anomaly.
Gamers can always stream games from Windows or Mac to SteamOS, but many will likely prefer to run their games natively on their Steam Machine.

More people moving to Idaho
POCATELLO, Idaho - More people are moving to Idaho than the majority of other states in the nation.
According to a study released this week by Atlas Van Lines, Idaho and Montana were two of eight states that saw more people choosing to move in state than those who decided to leave.
Regional Economist Dan Cravens said Idaho's lower cost of living and quality of life are attracting more people to the state.
"There's a friendliness and warmth that people have within the communities here," Cravens said. "That makes Idaho as a place to live really hard to beat."
According to the Idaho Department of Labor, Idaho's population exceeded 1.6 million in 2013, a 1 percent increase from 2012.
Idaho saw a nearly 60 percent increase in seniors ages 55 and older moving to the state.
Cravens said eastern Idaho's ability to increase its healthcare options has helped seniors make the decision to retire locally.
"I think we have a lot of really good options when it comes to healthcare," he said. "Access to healthcare becomes a (bigger) issue as you get older."
Cravens said officials in Idaho are working on ways to retain Idaho youth after they receive a college degree or certificate – an area Idaho is currently lacking in.
"(They are) the backbone, the core of our workforce," he said. "There are a lot of young people (that are) not aware of the opportunities out there. Some feel like they need to leave in order … to have a higher income or pursue opportunities where they can fully utilize their education."

Pretty proud of Chief
1 Attachment(s)
Today we were putting up our pool and my dad was weed walking by the garden and apparently their is a rabbit hole somewhere and the sound scared the babies 4 of them went running across the yard. Had Chief and Macy the golden my step mom's dog out they say them running and Macy took off I ran after her then saw Chief grab one I ran and said out and he let go, but sadly Macy wouldn't listen and killed 3 of them was trying to eat them. We buried them and put an angel on top of them. Then few hours later Chief saw one again and ran after it I said no and he stopped and sat and the baby bunny was sitting a foot from him. I came over and called him and he followed me. I was very surprised. I feel so incredibly bad for the 3 that died. I tried so hard to get Macy to stop but I couldn't catch her and she wouldn't out.
Wow, that's pretty impressive that he'd drop a bunny and stop chasing one, too!
Wow, that's amazing!
At least the golden killed them. When mine first caught a rabbit she didn't want to kill it so carried it in her mouth till it died from injuries.😞
She's obviously not a killer because she just sticks to chasing now.

Good job Chief:) Macy not so much:( We used to have rabbit holes where I used to live all the time. The first year it was storming really bad and my oldest dog Misty a Samoyed/lab was driving me nuts asking to go outside. Finally I caved in and she dragged me to the hold where the bunnies were drowning because the hole was filled with water. They were trying to get out and couldn't. I started pulling them out, one made it out but was just laying there, dead I thought. Out of the corner of my eye I see Misty pawing the baby rabbit and it started moving. I think she revived the little guy. I brought them in the house and she watched over them until the rain stopped and the hole drained. We put them back and she checked on them every day for the next couple days until they were gone. Right now I working in toads , they are everywhere , so I keep picking them up and showing the dogs telling them to be nice and leave it. I'm hoping that will stop them from eating them.

Yes I was very surprised and impressed at Chief to especially when be stopped running and was basically sitting next to it looking at it. Macy was never trained like I have trained Chief she was never trained at all really, so I think that's where is training came in. I'm still mad though because I was yelling at her and her owner my step mom was yelling and she wouldn't stop and was just running so fast I couldn't catch her.
Oh my gosh that's amazing your dog showed you the hole and you saved the bunnies. The one Chief nipped was scared sitting by a tree for awhile I was afraid it was hurt so I kept checking on it but didn't want to touch it because then mom won't care for it. Yes hopefully they leave the toads alone.

Lost slots is a 3D slot from Betsoft Gaming that is very much in the Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom style. The Lost slot machine is a classic 5 reel video slot with a nice selection of bonus features.
One thing I like about Lost slots is that it has superb graphics and music, accompanied with nice sound effects. Combined, this attention to detail creates an atmosphere that makes you want to keep playing.
