I love all types of food, especially ethnic and fusion cuisines. The more unique, sophisticated and even weirder, the better. I live and die for liver pates, raw oysters with caviar and anything served in a martini glass.
However, there are times when one needs something more than "cuisine" and pretense, and just wants a little old-fashioned, straightforward food love. This is not the food for which we use words like "elegance," "harmonious" or the more ridiculous "toothsome." It spurs such words as "juicy" and "greasy," and may even cause one to announce something along the lines of "I can die now" or make inappropriate moans and groans that almost sound pornographic and spur you to ask your friend to get a room.

AFTER an incredible performance from Team GB at the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics, many people around Herefordshire may find themselves inspired to take up a sport.
For those who like their sports a little more extreme than tennis or swimming, roller derby may be just the thing to cure those post- Olympic blues.
Roller derby originated in Texas around the 1930s and is a contact sport in which two teams of five members simultaneously skate counter-clockwise on a circuit track.
Each team designates a scoring player that aims to get past the other team's blockers to score points, competing in 60-minute bouts.
It is typically a women-only sport, but that does not mean that players go easy on each other.
Hereford Roller Girls (HRG), currently based at Weobley High School, was founded a year ago by Zoe Butler.
Since then the team has grown into a full-sized league, but is always looking for new members, female or male.
Zoe, 30, said: "It all began for me when a friend started skating in Birmingham and I wanted to give it a go.
It is such good fun and good exercise and the people you meet are amazing, coming from all walks of life.
"The competitive side is great fun too – helping to release aggression while using tactics and strategy."
As in all contact sports, it's not all fun and games and sometimes people do get hurt.
At the moment, the worst the HRG women have seen is a fractured leg, but it is a risk you take when getting involved in most sports.
However, bruises are badges of honour to be worn with pride, and are a common sight among roller girls.
"You have to be mentally and physically tough. When you start roller derby, it doesn't matter how fit you are or whether you can skate or not – you will get better." Zoe added.
Roller derby hit the silver screen in 2009 with Whip It – a film directed by Drew Barrymore about a smalltown girl who joins a roller derby team – and it inspired many women to pick up a pair of skates and get involved.
One of those women, Charlotte Townsend, has just completed her first skating lesson.
She said: "It was amazing – harder than I first thought but amazing. I'll definitely come again, it was really good fun and a great workout."
Despite its popularity in the first years of the game's existence, the interest dwindled over the years and the focus became more on the theatrical elements and entertainment rather than the sport's athleticism.
However, roller derby is now being considered for the 2020 Olympics and is played by more than 1,200 amateur leagues all over the world.
Dee Montague, vice-chairman of HRG, believes roller derby's popularity may be down to the fact that it is a sport for everyone and anyone, of all shapes and sizes and fitness levels.
She said: "I love derby for so many reasons. As someone who had horrible experiences of PE in school, I never thought I would participate in a team sport and enjoy it. But derby really is for everyone – everyone has strengths regardless of size and so on."
Milly Vernon, from Ledbury, has been skating with the HRG for nine months, and says that joining was a tough but brilliant decision.
The 21-year-old said: "I 'ummed and ahhed' about whether to join for ages when I could have been skating, so for anyone out there wondering whether or not to do it – just go for it."

Dickey Betts Is 70
Forrest Richard Betts turns 70 today. "Ramblin' Man" is one of those songs we have all heard too many times to have any kind of valid opinion on (I have finally come around, but I can see the thinking behind all the other opinions, although in the end what does it matter? Dickey Betts don't care what you think and we are all gonna wind up in the ground regardless of our postion on "Ramblin' Man" anyway.) — "No matter how you feel about the song 'Ramblin' Man,' remember that nobody else is interested and someday you will die" is a good approximation of my philosophy of life at this point; if you are interested in following my teachings please drop me a line at our general address — but this here is probably unfamiliar enough to some of you that you can listen to it without a ton of distaste, if that is indeed how you listen to "Ramblin' Man," which I should once again point out in no way changes the fact that death lurks around each corner waiting for the perfect moment to pop out and snatch you up into its dark and terminal embrace. Anyway, happy birthday Dickey Betts!

Food Trucks Roll in to Great Adventure
It's supposed to be a great spring weekend, so if you're looking to spend some time outside and check out some amazing food, Six Flags Great Adventure is the place to be!
This weekend is their "Fast Tracks and Food Trucks Festival" with nearly two dozen of the best gourmet meals on wheels in the Garden State.
Carlos, "The Empanada Guy" and Josh from "Oink And Moo BBQ" stopped by the WOBM offices this afternoon with some of their fantastic food.
I started with a chorizo empanada from The Empanada Guy (who's motto, "Let the addiction begin!" is totally appropriate) and washed it down with an apple cinnamon emapnada (which puts those fast food "apple pies", if you can even call them that, to shame).
I moved across the parking lot to "Oink And Moo BBQ", where Josh was slinging ribs, sliders, and some of the best beef brisket chili I've ever had (with home made corn bread of course).
After thoroughly stuffing myself with some amazing food, I definitely suggest that you make plans to check out the Fast Tracks and Food Trucks Festival this weekend at Great Adventure!

Michelin Primacy MXV4
Initial Review: 45,000 miles on tires
February 03, 2013
Tire lasted as many miles as I expected it. Sidewall started to show signs of cracking at 40,000 miles. What amazed me was how quiet they stayed through their entire life. I have never had tires do that before. I can see why Acura selected them as OEM (or at least the similar MXM4).

Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma who has cast Sanjay Dutt in his next film inspired by Munich, wants us to believe so
Sanjay Dutt can be easily called Bollywood's meanest bad man after successfully portraying Kancha in the Agneepath remake. But calling him the last action hero is stretching things too far. If Ram Gopal Varma is to be believed, Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar don't even exist! We heard RGV say, "Yes, Sanjay Dutt and I are doing another film right after Department. I truly believe he is our last action hero. So I am going to cast him as a one-man army on a global mission. Munich is the film I've in mind."
Buzz is that an inspired Ramu is headed towards making his most ambitious film yet. The original film Munich, directed by Steven Spielberg, shows how a squad of assassins led by former Mossad agent Avner (Eric Bana) tracks down and kills a list of Black September members. In RGV's version, Sanju Baba would be reprising Bana. News is that he will train hard to look convincing as a one-man-army and is very upbeat about it. While we are happy about this latest development, we just hope Bodyguard Khan and Khiladi Kumar don't get offended by Ramu's callous statement.

Wind turbines etc kill raptors
Photo credit to daily mail
I have emailed Arizona for a report on eagle nests and fires. Babies have fledged.
Wind turbines are killing eagles!
I AM NOT an environmental NUTCASE. However, to slaughter these magnificent birds is pointless. mankind is NOT gaining! We are LOSING!
I used a search engine to find information on this.
Wind energy is VERY
expensive to the consumer!
The area where a friend of mine lives switched over to wind and his electricity bill skyrocketed beyond his ability to pay.
The birds are losing - and mankind is also losing!
Golden eagles and wind turbines
The Golden Eagle
is one of the best known birds of prey in the Northern Hemisphere
Many deaths among golden eagles are caused by wind turbines.
The California Condor is also said to be at risk from the giant blades.
Ed Clark at Wildlife Center of Virginia mentioned turbines killing goldens June 7, 2011, and I decided to report it because few are aware of this.
Ed said -
The wind turbines are a huge problem, already killing hundreds of golden eagles every year. The placement of the turbines is the biggest issue.
There are places where they can be located that are not prime migration routes.
The owners of the turbines want them on the top of mountain ridges because that is where the best breezes are found, but that's also where the eagles fly
. end Ed
Wind farms taking toll on golden eagles
Nationwide, about 440,000 birds are said to be killed at wind farms each year, as well as thousands of bats.
With the government pushing for more wind energy farms, that statistic is likely to rise.
Golden eagles have been declining, partly because of run-ins with whirling wind turbine blades.
Wind power turbines have been blamed for the deaths of over 60 eagles per year in California's Bay Area.
The turbines in the Altamont Pass Wind Resource Area are situated in a region of rolling grasslands and canyons
containing one of the highest densities of nesting golden eagles in the United States.
570 to 835 raptors are killed each year by wind turbines inAltamont Pass California.
The big birds typically soar at about the same height as the turbine blades - roughly 300 to 400 feet.
Biologist Doug Bell said it would take 167 pairs of local nesting golden eagles to produce enough young to compensate for their
mortality rate related to wind energy production. We only have 60 pairs.
Green killer
June, 2011
Scores of golden eagles killed by wind turbines in Altamont Pass
California's attempts to switch to green energy have put the survival of the golden eagles at risk after colliding with the blades of about 5,000 wind turbines.
The 200 foot high turbines, which have been operating since the 1980s, lie in the heart of the grassy canyons that are home to one of the highest densities of nesting golden eagles in the USA.
A Golden eagle was killed by wind turbines in Washington state in May 2009. The 10-pound bird had a broken wing and two broken legs.
As more states set up wind turbines, more birds will be killed by them.
Wind project operators are required to document and report bird kills to state authorities.
Federal and state wildlife officials have created new guidelines to reduce the effects on birds and wildlife from wind energy development.
They call for extensive surveys of proposed wind farms before they are permitted and a recommended 2-mile wide buffer around the nests of raptor species, including golden and bald eagles.
Wind power turbines in Altamont Pass threaten protected birds
June 2011 - Scores of protected golden eagles have been dying each year after colliding with the blades of about 5,000 wind turbine
along the ridgelines of the Bay Areas Altamont Pass Wind Resource Area, raising troubling questions about the states push for alternative power sources.
The death count, averaging 67 a year for three decades, worries field biologists because the turbines,
which have been providing thousands of homes with emissions-free electricity since the 1980s,
lie within a region of rolling grasslands and riparian canyons containing one of the highest densities of nesting golden eagles in the United States.

Bald Eagle Population Growing in Arizona
June 2011 Nest-watch program aims to keep birds safe
The number of eagles over the past 30 years has grown.
We are seeing a record number of bald eagles than ever before here in Arizona.
Nest-watchers are responsible for protecting the eagles in Arizona while they are nesting and raising their young.
There are breeding areas on the Verde River.
I am looking for information on eagle nests and the Arizona fires.
Eaglets are fledging now but are they strong enuf to fly out of the fires?
Arizona Bald Eagle Management Program
Seasonal Breeding Area Closures
When I found this, I thot the eaglets in nests should be able to fly free of the fires.
During certain breeding stages (incubation, young nestlings, and nestlings near fledging), human activity near a bald eagle nest can cause nest abandonment and/or failure.
Establishing breeding area closures reduces losses by managing human activities near nest sites. Closure boundaries and specific limitations vary based on their effectiveness and enforceability.
Some closures restrict all entry into the breeding area, others only around certain nests, and several only certain types of activities.
Alamo Lake - A portion of upper Alamo Lake may be closed to boats from
Jan. 1 to June 30
. Contact the Arizona Game and Fish Department, Region IV, Yuma, (928) 342-0091.
Salt River from
Horseshoe Bend
to Redmond Flat allows boats to float through, but no landing or stopping in the river is permitted from Dec. 1 to June 30. Contact Tonto National Forest, Globe Ranger District, (928) 402-6200.
Lake Pleasant - No vehicle or foot entry is allowed into the Lower Agua Fria Arm from Dec. 15 to June 15. Contact Maricopa County Parks and Recreation, (928) 501-1710.
Verde River below Sycamore Canyon Wilderness is closed to foot and vehicle traffic from Dec. 1 to June 15. Boating through is allowed.

my email to them
Have the fledglings been able to fly AWAY from the fire areas?
Please give me information on eagles, raptors and fires.
Thousands watching live eaglecam want to know!
Their reply
We dont know yet. We have 2 breeding areas in the line of the fire, and it looks like (from satellite photos) both may have escaped being burned.
We assume the adults at the nests are o.k., but we are unsure about the nestlings.
We have nestlings in one nest that were fledging age (12 weeks) so they could fly away if they needed to, but the nestlings in the other nest were much younger and incapable of flight.
Fire crews did an early back burn around the nest stand with the younger nestlings to stop the fire from crowning , and it appears to have worked.
But we wont know if they survived the smoke and the adults inability to bring food to the nest (because of the helicopters grabbing water from the lakes they inhabit).
We wont know for sure until after the flames are extinguished.

Orchard pesticides harm eagles
June 13, 2011 Ed Clark, WCV
The orchard industry is one of the most chemically intense forms of agriculture.
Not only do they apply chemicals to kill bugs that eat the crops, they use fungicides to protect the trees,
and growth regulators so the apples are all the same size, and other things to prevent spots on the skin of the fruit (which don't harm the fruit,
but make it unmarketable, since people won't buy spotted fruit, even though it's fine).
These chemicals can have a direct effect, or an indirect effect. Deformities, immune deficiencies, and direct poisoning are among them.
We are a chemically dependant society. We use a whole lot more than we need.
The good news is that there is on-going research to find less toxic ways to control pests.
Arizona Nature Conservancy Responds to the Wallow Fire
June 17, 2011 The Nature Conservancys Southern Rockies Wildland Fire Module is on the front lines of the Wallow Fire,
working hard to protect property and land in eastern Arizona. Their first shift on the ground was a grueling 24 hours in searing Arizona heat.
As soon as they cleared the lines, all they wanted was to find a place to sleep for a couple hours.
Then, it was back to the front lines with hundreds of other crew members to face the fury of the fire.
This unique team was created by the Conservancys Colorado Chapter in April 2008 to help restore Colorados forests with safe, scientific burns.
The team is also trained to help federal agencies on the front lines during wildland fires.
Additionally, the Conservancy fire team provides opportunities to partner with other agencies and build credibility in forest management.
Every year, team members attend a two-week training for national certification.
There are seven members. They are a mix of backgrounds, from fire and biology scientists to fire practitioners.
Their facility is located in Loveland, Colorado, about an hour north of Denver.
The team gets to their assignments in a small engine, a carrier or an airplane.
They have battled wildfires in Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, California, Alaska and now Arizona. Theyll be in Arizona for two weeks.
Lead poisoning from bullets, etc
January 2012 Many eagles arrive at vets yearly because of lead poisoning. Many of them die from it.
They ingesting lead shotgun pellets or bullet fragments which are highly toxic to raptors.
Eagles are other scavengers ingest the fragments while eating animals that have been shot but not recovered by hunters, or by feeding on the entrails of game animals, like deer, which have been harvested and field dressed. Just ONE pellet that lodges in the digestive tract can be fatal.
If you hunt, make every effort to recover your prey. If you are shooting nuisance animals, dispose of them properly. If you are field dressing game, be sure to take an extra few minutes to bury or cover the discarded entrails.
Even fishing equipment can poison a bird.
Hunters urged to help curb Lead Poisoning of wildlife
January 2012 - article by professioanls
With hunting season well underway, officials at The Wildlife Center of Virginia are urging hunters to take steps to curb lead poisoning of Virginia wildlife.
The Centers effort comes just days after the death of a Bald Eagle an adult female admitted to the Center with high lead levels.
Each year the Center treats about 2,500 wildlife patients from all across Virginia, including Bald Eagles, and
an alarming number of eagles admitted for care display signs of lead poisoning
. Thus far in 2011, for example, the Center has admitted 29 Bald Eagles four of these showed signs of lead toxicity, and another 14 had measurable levels of lead. As little as 1 part per million of lead in an eagles blood is usually lethal. In spite of intensive treatments to purge lead from the systems of the poisoned eagles, many die from this lethal contaminant.
Routine radiographs show that many of these eagles are exposed to the highly toxic metal by ingesting lead shotgun pellets or bullet fragments. The eagles ingest these fragments while scavenging animals that have been shot but not recovered by hunters, or by feeding on the entrails of game animals, like deer, which have been harvested and field dressed.
Field dressing
is the practice of removing the internal organs from animals harvested for human consumption, in order to preserve the quality of the meat. Typically, these entrails are simply left on the ground. Even the smallest bit of lead from bullets or shot left in these internal organs can quickly disable or kill a bird like a Bald Eagle when it feeds on these remains. For this reason, the Wildlife Center is urging hunters to either switch to bullets and shot which do not contain lead, or to bury or cover the animals or animal parts left in the field.
According to
Dr. Dave McRuer, Director of Veterinary
Services at the Wildlife Center, the eagle that died this week came from Caroline County.
It had been seen on the ground, unable to fly. The bird was eventually captured and brought to the Wildlife Center on Sunday, November 13.
Upon admission, the bird displayed the classic indications of lead toxicity the bird was lethargic, unable to stand, experiencing tremors, and had poor muscle control.
Blood tests conducted at the Center indicated levels of lead in the birds blood that were off the charts beyond what can be tested on the Centers lab equipment.
While chelation therapy was started immediately, the bird died on Monday, November 14.
This appears to have been a classic case of poisoning as a result of the ingestion of lead shot, McRuer concluded.
The eagle was wearing a metal leg band which had been placed on the bird in 2006, in Cecil County, Maryland. Banding records maintained at the federal governments National Bird Banding Laboratory indicated that the female eagle hatched in 2004. At seven and a half years of age, McRuer noted,
this adult eagle was in the prime of her breeding life
. Unfortunately, as a result of this preventable death, she will never again have the chance to contribute to the recovery of her species. McRuer went on to explain that the bird appeared to have been in perfect condition, other than the lead poisoning.
According to Ed Clark, President of the Wildlife Center, for decades the
ingestion of lead shot resulted in deaths
of staggering numbers of ducks, geese and swans. Prior to a nationwide ban on the use of lead shot for waterfowl hunting, an estimated four million ducks and geese died annually as a result of swallowing lead pellets that had been fired over wetland areas by waterfowl hunters. The birds would find the pellets as they sifted through bottom sediments looking for food. A single pellet that lodges in the digestive tract of a bird can be fatal, Clark stated.
In an effort to curb these losses, a prohibition on the use of lead shot for waterfowl hunting was imposed in 1991 by the federal government. The use of steel and other lead-free materials for the manufacture of shot has dramatically reduced the amount of lead in wetland habitats.
Clark drew a sharp contrast between the waterfowl deaths and those of the eagles. The eagles are not randomly picking up loose pellets from their environment, as did waterfowl. The eagles are getting the lead by eating other animals, or parts of other animals ones that have been shot. Often when hunters shoot upland game, such as doves, rabbits or squirrels, the downed animals are very difficult to find. State law requires hunters to make a good faith effort to recover any game animal that has been killed or wounded in the course of legal hunting. Unfortunately, many of these animals are never found. Theyre simply left where they fall, creating an attractive but deadly meal for scavengers, Clark stated.
It is also routine for farmers and varmint hunters to shoot nuisance animals, such as groundhogs, and deliberately leave the dead bodies out for scavengers to eat. However, these shot-filled bodies are toxic time-bombs. The tragedy of it all is that these poisoning deaths are almost totally avoidable, Clark noted.
According to Clark a gun collector, avid shooter, and lifelong hunter there are now alternatives to the use of lead-based ammunition for hunting. Several companies are now manufacturing bullets made of solid copper. They are ballistically identical to lead, and are every bit as effective. While Clark still uses lead bullets for target shooting, he has switched entirely to copper bullets for hunting. There is a lot of false information out there suggesting that copper bullets are not as effective as lead. The bottom line is that, if you miss your quarry, or fail to bring it down with a single shot, it is not the bullets fault!
Clark points out that those hunters who refuse to give up their traditional lead projectiles can still help eliminate the risk posed by lead shot by simply burying or properly disposing of animal carcasses or entrails. Covering the remains or discarded parts of shot animals with brush or sticks could largely eliminate access to these toxic morsels by avian scavengers, particularly birds like eagles and other raptors. When eagles and other scavenging birds find and eat these carcasses, they swallow the bullets and lead pellets along with everything else. Unfortunately, even tiny particles of lead can become lodged in the digestive tract; digestive fluids leach the heavy metal into the blood stream and body tissues, affecting the nervous system and internal organs. Affected animals may appear lethargic and weak and are unable to stand or fly, even though there may be no outward signs of injury.
Even nestling eagles may face the risk of lead poisoning. In late April, three Bald Eagles were rescued from their nest at the Norfolk Botanical Garden and brought to the Wildlife Center after their mother was struck and killed by a plane at the Norfolk airport. One of those six-week old eaglets tested positive for exposure to lead likely from ingesting some food that contained a lead fragment brought to the nest by a parent.
Anyone finding an injured eagle or other wild animal is urged to contact a Conservation Police Officer or the Wildlife Center immediately. Often, an animals chance of survival depends upon the speed with which it is presented for treatment. This is especially true in poisoning cases.
Losing a Bald Eagle is a really sad event, said Clark, especially when the cause of the birds death is so preventable. We can only hope that the tragic loss of these eagles will remind everyone that bullets and shotgun pellets can kill twice.
If you hunt, make every effort to recover your prey. If you are shooting nuisance animals, dispose of them properly. If you are field dressing game, be sure to take an extra few minutes to bury or cover the discarded entrails. The death of even a single Bald Eagle is just too high a price for human negligence or laziness, Clark concluded.
The Wildlife Center of Virginia is a non-profit teaching and research hospital for native wildlife, located in Waynesboro, Virginia. The Centers goal is to rehabilitate these wild animals and return them to the wild. Since its founding in 1982, the Center has cared for more than 58,000 wild animals, representing 200 species of birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians. The Centers public education programs share insights gained through the care of injured and orphaned wild animals, in hopes of reducing human damage to wildlife. The Center trains veterinary and conservation professionals from all over the world and is actively involved in comprehensive wildlife health studies and the surveillance of emerging diseases.
Shotgun shells, such as these target loads, can contain hundreds of tiny lead pellets. Even a single piece one of these tiny pieces of pure lead can be toxic enough to kill an eagle or other scavenging birds, like hawks and vultures. The use of lead shot for hunting waterfowl was banned in 1991, but remains legal for upland game, such as squirrels, rabbits, turkeys and doves.
These two hunting cartridges, in the popular 7mm Remington Magnum caliber, are nearly identical. Each is topped with a 160 grain bullet. However, the bullet on the left is has a lead core inside a copper jacket. The one on the right is solid copper. Both are effective hunting loads. Both bullets expand on impact. But, the bullet on the left will leave tiny shards of lead behind as it passes through the target, creating toxic time-bombs for scavenging wildlife.
The copper bullet is non-toxic to scavengers

California condor
There are about 400 California condors in the world.
California condors face risks from lead
A feather as large as a human arm drifts from the azure sky. On Arizonas Vermilion Cliffs, where the Grand Canyon begins to carve its way into the Colorado plateau, is one of the reintroduction sites for the California condor. And trapping season is underway.
North Americas largest flying land bird, with a wingspan of more than nine feet, is also one of the most endangered species on Earth. The scavengers ingest ammunition fragments when they feed on remains left by hunters, leaving them at risk for lead poisoning. Chris Parish of the Peregrine Fund, a nonprofit based in Boise, Idaho, leads a project here that includes trapping the birds to test lead levels in their blood and detoxifying any with high levels.
Trapping is easy, he says, because the birds cant resist the stillborn calf carcass lying at the back of a cage
There are nearly 400 California condors in the world, with more than 200 at reintroduction sites in Arizona, California and Baja California. In 1987, the wild population dropped to just 22. All of the birds were caught for captive breeding, and 16 of them helped to bring the species back from the brink.
December 29, an immature Bald Eagle was spotted down in a field in Fauquier County unable to fly. A conservation police officer was dispatched to capture the bird and it was transported to Waynesboro Virginia Wildlife center.
Upon admission, Dr. Miranda found no fractures or wounds on the Bald Eagle, though the bird was thin. An in-house lead test revealed that the eagle was positive for lead. eagle died Jan. 1
Chesapeake Bald Eagle
December 31 a Bald Eagle reportedly fell from the sky near the intersection of Butts Station Road and Centerville Turnpike [not far from Stumpy Lake] in Chesapeake. The eagle was rescued and taken to wildlife rehabilator Lisa Barlow for the evening. On January 1, the bird was brought to the Center by volunteer transporter Lona Wilson and was the first patient admitted to the Center during 2012.
Dr. Miranda examined #12-0001 a mature Bald Eagle and found that the eagle was thin, weak, and hanging its head classic symptoms of lead poisoning. An in-house lead test revealed that the eagle was positive for lead with a result of .267 ppm. Chelation therapy was started immediately.

Feds propose allowing wind-farm developer to kill golden eagles]
The federal government is proposing to grant a first-of-its-kind permit that would allow the developer of a central Oregon wind-power project to legally kill golden eagles, a regulatory move being closely watched by conservationists.
The Interior Departments Fish and Wildlife Service on Tuesday released a draft environmental assessment that would allow West Butte Wind Power LLC to kill as many as three protected golden eagles over five years if the company fulfills its conservation commitments.
Its the first eagle take permit application to be received and acted on by U.S. Fish and Wildlife under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. (Take means to kill, harass or disturb the birds, their nests or their eggs.)
RE the MSNBC article -
This is not "permission" to kill eagles; it is forgiveness in advance for killing up to three in a five year period,
according to Ed Clark, Virginia Wildlife Center.
Minnesota DNR
A professor at the University of Minnesota is collaborating with The Raptor Center putting together a survey to send to hunters about alternatives to lead bullets.
In 2011 the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources did a study about lead fragmentation and it's distribution from the wound site.
The DNR found that depending on the type of bullet, lead fragments spread further from the wound site than antcipated.
In some cases as far as 11 inches from the wound.

Wyoming indians gets permit to kill bald eagles
March 14, 2012
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has taken the unusual step of issuing a permit allowing an American Indian tribe in Wyoming to kill two bald eagles for religious purposes.
The agency's decision comes after the Northern Arapaho Tribe filed a federal lawsuit last year contending the refusal to issue such permits violates tribal members' religious freedom. Although thousands of American Indians apply for eagle feathers and carcasses from a federal repository, permits allowing the killing of bald eagles are exceedingly rare, according to both tribal and legal experts on the matter.
Calif. wind farm may be granted permit to kill eagles in exchange for bird protections
Sept. 27, 2013
A 3,500-acre wind farm in in northern California may become the first renewable energy project in the US to be issued a permit to kill eagles under a proposal by the US Fish and Wildlife Service. The plan would allow the Shiloh IV Wind Projects 50 wind turbines to kill up to five golden eagles over a five-year period in exchange for taking measures to protect large birds, including retrofitting power poles to avoid electrocutions. "The bottom line is a permit will help preserve eagles," said Scott Flaherty, the deputy assistant regional director of external affairs for the Fish and Wildlife Service. The report will now go through a 45-day public comment period.

Eagle Deaths at Wind Turbines Widespread, Undercounted
October 2, 2013
Though California and Wyoming lead the nation in eagle deaths at wind turbine facilities, wind turbines are killing bald and golden eagles nationwide, and the death toll is mounting. That's according to Dr. Joel Pagel, a longtime raptor biologist now working with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the lead author of a recent peer-reviewed paper on wind facility eagle mortalities.
Pagel said that additional confirmed mortalities have been coming in since the paper's completion.
Mortalities have been reported since publication for bald eagles in Idaho and North Dakota and golden eagles in Montana and Nevada.
The stringent standards the authors used to determine whether to include individual mortality reports in the paper mean that the numbers are almost certainly an undercount, Pagel told ReWire.
The paper, "
Bald Eagle and Golden Eagle Mortalities At Wind Energy Facilities In The Contiguous United States
," was published in September in the Journal of Raptor Research. In the paper, Pagel and his co-authors analyze 85 eagles killed at 32 wind facilities in 10 states between 1997 and June 2012, with nearly 80 percent of those fatalities taking place in the last five years.
Each one of the mortalities recorded is a violation of the federal Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, which could carry penalties of fines and jail time.
Pagel, a government raptor ecologist since 1983 who's also worked with the U.S. Forest Service, noted that the Journal or Raptor Research paper is far from being the final word on the extent of injuries eagles have suffered from wind turbine encounters.
"We relied on voluntary reports from turbine operators and other reports that were publicly available," Pagel said. "We excluded 17 possible mortalities because we just couldn't confirm them." In the absence of more systematic data collection, notes Pagel, he and his colleagues very likely compiled an incomplete tally of bald and golden eagle deaths due to wind turbine strikes. "I can't think of a factor that might contribute to our overcounting mortalities," Pagel told ReWire, "but there are plenty of reasons we have likely undercounted."
The undercount of bald eagle wind turbine mortalities in particular is perplexing, Pagel noted. "Bald eagles are ecologically very similar to white-tailed eagles in Europe, and there have been a lot of documented white-tailed eagle kills at wind turbines in places like Norway." One possibility noted in the Journal of Raptor Research paper: where bald eagle territories and wind developments overlap, tall farm crops can make recovery of carcasses unlikely. "If a bald eagle falls into a corn field, we might never find it," said Pagel.
California and Wyoming led the confirmed death toll with 27 and 31 confirmed mortalities, respectively. (The study omitted the notoriously high mortalities at California's Altamont Pass Wind Resource Area from consideration.) All of the Wyoming fatalities detailed in the study occurred since 2009, which is about when that state's fledgling wind infrastructure started taking off.
Wyoming's death toll is strikingly high compared to states with many more turbines, such as Texas (with one confirmed fatality) and Iowa (with three). Some of the discrepancy might well be due to sampling error: if Texas wind operators are letting eagle deaths go unrecorded, that one reported dead eagle might have plenty of company that's gone un-remarked upon.
But there's likely more than sampling error at work here. ReWire asked Pagel what might account for Wyoming's startling figures. "There are a lot of eagles in Wyoming," he replied. "Eagles visit Wyoming from as far away as British Columbia and Alaska. The Yellowstone Raptor Initiative has seen 100 migrating eagles in one day at Yellowstone National Park."
Pagel declined to identify to ReWire any of the wind facilities at which the documented eagle mortalities occurred, citing his restrictions as a federal employee from disclosing information which many wind companies claim is protected under the Uniform Trade Secrets Act. A cursory Google search, however, reveals that at least 10 of the Wyoming fatalities occurred at Duke Energy's Top Of The World wind farm after that facility began operations in 2010 near Casper. That would be about a third of all the state's documented mortalities.
Pagel noted that some of the injuries described were ghastly. "There was plenty of blunt force trauma in these reports," Pagel said. "Some of the birds were thrown long distances. Some of them had had portions of their bodies separated."
Given that eagles may move well away from the turbine base after having been injured by a turbine blade, it may be that under-counting such injuries and mortalities is inevitable. And eagles are far from the only birds injured by wind turbines, noted Pagel, who has worked extensively with peregrine falcons and other raptors. "We did not look at other raptors or other birds in this paper. We're just looking at two species here; bald eagles and golden eagles. We stuck solely to bald and golden eagles. That doesn't mean other birds aren't being injured. We just didn't examine those other species."
Wind turbines threaten birds
July 29, 2015
- Wind turbines could be forcing native bird populations into decline in the Great Plains, raising new concerns about the long-term effects of renewable energy on wildlife. Wind farms in North and South Dakota can influence the distribution of several species of grassland birds for years after construction, including species whose populations are in serious decline. 7 out of 9 bird species were displaced from areas in North and South Dakota after a wind facility was built.

Rainhill Coach and Horses 0 Crossbar 1
CROSSBAR completed the Warrington Sunday Football League treble with a narrow win over Rainhill in the Denis Scholes Challenge Cup Final.
The Warrington side added the Challenge Cup to the Premier Division title and the Premier Cup they won.
Ollie Hardman gave Crossbar the lead after 20 minutes when his first effort was parried by the Rainhill keeper back into the Crossbar striker's path, to finish with the second attempt.
The second half grew into a nervy affair as the score stayed at 1-0 and Rainhill began to throw all men forward heading into the last 10 minutes with a strong shout for a hand-ball inside the area turned down.
Rainhill were reduced to 10 men when a player was sent off for violent conduct.
Crossbar held on with the extra man and secured their third trophy this season.

Average household wealth rose to a record $868,000 in 2012, driven by solid house prices and a sharemarket recovery, forecaster Outlook Economics says.
It estimates the wealth of the average Australian family, including their home, superannuation and other financial assets, climbed by 6.6 per cent in 2012, the best annual increase since 2009, when the stimulus after the global financial crisis pushed up house prices.
Outlook Economics director Peter Downes said one of the interesting aspects of the rise in wealth was that it was driven not so much by rising asset prices as by people saving more.
"House prices have bottomed, the stockmarket is picking up and you have this big increment from saving," he said.
Household wealth fell 4 per cent in 2011 as high interest rates and the end of the stimulus reduced house prices.
In 2012 across Australia, house prices in capital cities and regional areas edged up 1.4 per cent, Mr Downes estimates. The stockmarket also rose strongly.
He said that with low interest rates his model projected wealth would continue to rise. Eventually, the boost in wealth should translate into more spending as people felt more confident.
Separately, the Reserve Bank of Australia concluded that a measure of household net debt fell significantly over the past five years.
A paper by RBA economists Ellis Connolly, Fiona Fleming and Jarkko Jääskelä says total debt as a share of household disposable income stayed roughly flat in the past five years after growing sharply in the early 2000s.
But they found that this was increasingly balanced by holdings of interest-bearing assets such as term deposits at banks.
Net debt measured by total debt minus these assets fell from 42 per cent in 2006 to 35 per cent in 2012.
Much of this wealth is held in superannuation accounts.

Pinellas commission wrestles with fluoride politics
County Commissioner Ken Welch said Monday he'll ask the four members who voted to stop adding fluoride to drinking water to reconsider their decision when the board meets again at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday.
Whether it goes anywhere is uncertain without a change by opponents on the board.
The reaction in public email to commissioners through Monday has been split, but polarizing and staunch. Dentists plan to weigh in again Tuesday, and fluoride opponents plan to speak out again too. For example, the county's deputy tourism director, David Downing, sent email from his personal account to Welch and Commissioners Susan Latvala and Karen Seel worrying about its effect on the county's image.
"David Downing here, from the CVB---but I'm writing to you as a private Pinellas County resident to thank you for standing up for reason during the recent fluoride debate. We work hard to promote the area as an environmentally responsible, cultured and forward thinking tourism destination, and negative national coverage from issues like this (as appeared in USA TODAY) only serve to tarnish our image as a vacation destination. And that---unlike responsible fluoridation of drinking water---can do real and lasting damage."
From resident David Jackson:
"Water flouridation is not much different than sending a Flouride (sic) Gestapo around every day to force everyone to take Flouride pills, it
is unethical and doctors who advocate this are in violation of peoples rights and ethics."
Commissioners Nancy Bostock, Neil Brickfield, John Morroni and Norm Roche agreed and voted to stop the practice, despite most local and national dental and medical groups saying its safe. Morroni switched his vote after backing the start of the practice in 2003. Morroni said he learned more -- though he couldn't cite a study -- and most importantly, moods had shifted toward less government. It fell in line with arguments from tea party members -- a new influence on the fluoride debate here.
Roche has been solidly against fluoride since 2003, and Brickfield and Bostock said today nothing's changed their stances. Morroni, who has faced tough criticism from former board members, hasn't returned phone messages Friday and Monday.
"I haven't seen any evidence since last Tuesday to compel me to change my vote," Brickfield said, noting reports of improved dental habits and sources of fluoride elsewhere. "If we're getting that much every day, why do we need to put it in the water?"
But dentist Edward Hopwood of Clearwater said the reasons are clear: it helps prevent dental problems, and not just for needy children. Without the county's practice, parents will face pay $45 a year for tablets to supplement their children's fluoride levels properly, Hopwood said. He and other dentists want the board to reconsider the vote, too.

Berlin (Oct. 20)
The British military authorities in Germany today issued an order which is expected to facilitate the restitution of Jewish property. the order provides for the registration of all property seized or transferred under dress during the Nazi regime and, at the same time, sets up a procedure for claiming property lost under such conditions.
The proclamation orders all persons in possession of property which since Jan 30, 1933 was taken from anybody under duress for reasons of race, nationality, relization or political reasons to declare such property to the local German authorities within six months. Similar declarations must be made by anybody with knowledge of each transactions. Declarations by persons within the British zone pertaining to property in Berlin or areas outside the zone must be filed in triplicate with the property control authorities at Bad Nenndorf, Niedersachsen.
Persons who lost their property during the Nazi regime must file a claim before Jan, 1, 1949 with the authorities at Ban Nenndorf, if they wish it to be considered. The proclamation stated that many such claims made by persons now residing outside Germany lacked sufficient information to permit validation. It suggests the ##imants check with the British Foreign Office for advice on what information to include with the claim.

Question: "Why aren't you answering me God?!"
In order for God to move and answer our petition prayers, a proper prayer foundation must be made. God isn't simply a magic genie answering prayers upon command. No, He is a loving Father who takes our requests and graciously answers them in His timing and according to what is best for us. Often we think we know what is best for ourselves, even deceiving ourselves and others into thinking we know better than anyone else in the universe including the Creator. The following are eight questions every Believer should ask themselves, if they find themselves saying "Why aren't you answering me God?!"
• Do you believe and accept Jesus Christ of Nazareth as the only path to eternal life?
"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.'" John 14:6
You may have heard the story of the world religions sharing a "belief" in Jesus with Christians. The Quran states Jesus was born of a virgin, was a revered prophet, was a miracle worker, who ascended to heaven, and will return to earth but is not the son of God. Hinduism states Jesus is a God, was a Holy Man, and was a Wise Teacher. Buddhism states Jesus was an enlightened man, was a wise teacher, was a Holy man, and was a moral teacher. Baha'i states Jesus came from God, was born of a virgin, spoke for God, had a divine and human nature, and was crucified for the atonement of humanity. Yet the difference between the world religions and the Christians is that the Believers in Christ Jesus firmly believe and rightly know that Jesus Christ of Nazareth, part of the triune God, is the only deity that leads to the eternal life. There are no other paths or gods that will lead to heaven.
• Are you born again?
"Since you have in obedience to the truth purified your souls for a sincere love of the brethren, fervently love one another from the heart, for you have been born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring word of God." 1 Peter 1:22-23
Jesus shared a prophetic vision in Matthew 25 of "Believers" in Christ meeting Him at the end of the age and being shockingly turned away from the Kingdom of God. Jesus clearly spelled out it was not belief alone that granted eternal life, it was the ongoing demonstration of His character to others in need. The man and woman turned away were the ones who did not feed the hungry, did not give drink to the thirsty, did not give clothes to the naked, did not care for the sick, and did not visit the imprisoned. Their apathy to the needy was also apathy towards God. Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.' "Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.
• Have you received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit?
"Now when the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent them Peter and John, who came down and prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit. For He (Holy Spirit) had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had simply been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. They began laying their hands on them, and they were receiving the Holy Spirit." Acts 8:14-17
Paul said to them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" And they said to him, "No, we have not even heard whether there is a Holy Spirit." And he said, "Into what then were you baptized?" And they said, "Into John's baptism". Paul said, "John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in Him (Jesus) who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus." When they heard this, they (acknowledged) were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began speaking with tongues and prophesying. Acts 19:2-6
And I remembered the Word of the Lord, how He used to say, "John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit." Acts 11:16
"For John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now." Acts 1:5
Might you wonder why scripture references Baptisms in the plural and not singular (see Baptism of Repentance, Baptism of Water, Baptism of the Holy Spirit). There are many who have performed the act of the Baptism of Water but do not know Christ Jesus. They have performed the physical declaration of faith but have not followed through in the daily transformational process of sanctification. The Believer in Christ Jesus must have the Holy Spirit living within them. When the Holy Spirit lives inside of the Believer, you will see manifestations of God's Fruit or Fruits of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control). The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is not complicated and only requires a simple prayer between two Believers in Christ Jesus such as "Leah, I declare in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth that you receive the Baptism and indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit work within her and transform her daily into being your daughter. Amen."
• Do you have any unconfessed/unrepented sin?
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 Johns 1:9
"Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much." James 5:16
• Do you hold any bitterness or unforgiveness towards anyone?
"Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you. Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions." Mark 11:24-25
• Do you believe in God's will for your perfect health (or other request)?
"Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you." Luke 10:19
"These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues; they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover." Mark 16:17-18
Bless the LORD, O my soul, And all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget none of His benefits; Who pardons all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases; Who redeems your life from the pit, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion; Who satisfies your years with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle. Psalm 103:1-5
• Do you agree with your prayer partner for healing (or other request)?
"Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you. Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions." Mark 11:24-25
"For we walk by faith, not by sight." 2 Corinthians 5:7
"Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven. "For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst." Matthew 18:19-20
• Are you praying for God's will or your own?
There is no wisdom and no understanding And no counsel against the LORD. Proverbs 21:30
Many plans are in a man's heart, But the counsel of the LORD will stand. Proverbs 19:21
The plans of the heart belong to man, But the answer of the tongue is from the LORD. Proverbs 16:1
The mind of man plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps. Proverbs 16:9
I know, O LORD, that a man's way is not in himself, Nor is it in a man who walks to direct his steps. Jeremiah 10:23
The LORD foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes of the peoples. Psalm 33:10
Lord, thank you for the universal Body of Christ and your revelations. Help us to examine ourselves closely, show us personal roadblocks, and help us to move into your perfect will of obedience. We ask all of this in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen

CLC does not concern itself with economic policy. We do concern ourselves however with democratic freedom. Therefore, we address the current assault on capitalism because it's a sign of creeping socialism in Canadian and US politics which not only entails a shift in economic policy, but a definite tilt away from genuine democracy. It puts at risk genuine human rights like freedom of religion and conscience and paves the way for tyranny.
Today's balanced capitalism for all its imperfections, remains the fairest economic model in the world. It has proven to engender equal opportunity and create broad-based prosperity throughout western society. It respects the dignity of each human person and allows individuals to own property, which in turn encourages entrepreneurship and stimulates the desire to better one's life.
While capitalism is not perfect, it is at least compatible with Judeo-Christian values. Socialism on the other hand, is incompatible with Christianity and directly opposes its view of the value and dignity of each human person. Canadians must stand on guard against creeping socialism in our political, educational and media institutions.

Decision makers
- USA Gymnastics, USAG Olympic Selection Committee, Steve Penny
Allow Gymnast Chellsie Memmel to compete at the National Championships.
US Gymnast Chellsie Memmel was very quickly and abruptly denied the chance to compete at the 2012 US Visa National Championships. Many people do not agree with this decision and for many reasons. I wanted to start this petition towards USA Gymnastics to give those who feel upset by this the opportunity to voice their disapproval, the reasons why and to petition to have her compete at Nationals. I think USA Gymnastics needs to hear them.Tell USA Gymnastics why you think they were wrong or why Chellsie's petition should have been approved or how it could have been handled differently, etc.
I'm going to keep this open for one week or so, then print out the entire list of signatures and what you had to say, and then mail the entire thing to USA Gymnastics's Steve Penny. It may not change anything but it is a chance to show USAG how we feel about it. I think it's important that they hear us.
***UPDATE***. 6/8/12: The time has come for this petition to close. Thank you to all of you who signed the petition! I had no idea it would get so many signatures when I created it!
I wish Chellsie the best of luck in the future and look forward to seeing her working as a brevet judge, if that is what she does indeed end up doing. Who better than a World Champion and Olympian to be a judge!
Thanks everyone,
***Update*** I have printed out the list of signatures and all of your comments as of May 31, 2012 around 1am CST. You all have done an amazing job! To print the seven copies I'm sending to USAG and others, it took over 700 pages of printer paper!! They will be sent this morning, overnight mail by FEDEX, to reach their destinations on Friday June 1st.
I've enclosed the link to this petition in each one, SO PLEASE KEEP SIGNING THE PETITION, the more we get the better. Thank you so much for taking the time to sign and to spread the word, I'm sure Chellsie appreciates it very much!
One of the seven copies is being sent to M&M Gymnastics in Wisconsin, so Chellsie can see all the wonderful things you all had to say :)

Oh dear, life is but a constant round of drudgery, stress, traffic jams and microwave meals in front of the telly. Where's the romance? Where's the joy? You need a night at the French Horn.
I beg your pardon. It's an inn in the pretty village of Sonning-on-Thames, and the romantic riverside location, complete with weeping willows and drifting swans, is guaranteed to lift your spirits. Try to work up a good appetite before dinner with a stroll through open fields along the Thames river path. You'll need it.
Why's that? This establishment prefers to think of itself as a 'restaurant with rooms', as the food is the main attraction. People come from miles around for the speciality: duck spit-roasted in front of an open fire.
And is it worth it? Indeed it is. Don't let the little fellows bobbing past on the Thames put you off (the waiter assured me the ducks we are eating were from Aylesbury, which made me feel infinitely better); the duck is indeed sublime. Crispy on the outside, succulent on the inside. A starter of scallops wrapped in wisps of bacon in a pea broth, and the nougat and ginger ice cream didn't let the side down either. Views of the floodlit garden and river are lovely.
And when you can't eat any more? From the restaurant, it's just a short waddle across the road to a small terrace of converted mill cottages. Once inside, it's decorated a bit like your aunt's house (think green velvet three-piece suite, nest of occasional tables, flowery curtains with swags and drapes, gas fire with brick fireplace and horse brasses on the mantelpiece) but it's cosy, private and the bathrooms are palatial. Breakfast is brought to your cottage door. There are also spacious rooms and suites above the restaurant.
Sounds idyllic. How do I get there? Just a half-hour from Paddington on the train, and a 10-minute taxi ride from Reading station. The perfect place for a romantic tryst.
· The French Horn, Sonning-on-Thames, Berkshire (0118 969 2204) is a member of Pride of Britain Hotels. Double rooms £130-£185 per night including breakfast.

Current Newswire:
BW: Network Magazine Names Red Hat Linux Product of the Year...Apr 26, 2000, 18:33 (1 Talkback[s])
"Red Hat, Inc. (NASDAQ:RHAT), the market leader in open source solutions, today announced that Network Magazine has named the Red Hat Linux operating system (OS) Product of the Year in its (May) issue."
"Wherever it resides, the value Linux adds is changing networking," wrote Network Magazine editors. "Red Hat Linux has become the distribution of choice for enterprise customers. This phenomenon isn't based on Linux's easy, graphical installer, but rather for its comprehensive support, which includes a free installation hotline, and its many enterprise-oriented enhancements. Red Hat's Linux is the best, safest choice."
"The Network Magazine award continues industry-wide praise for Red Hat Linux, including InfoWorld's Product of the Year four years in a row. Other recent awards include: InformationWeek's "Product of the Year," Federal Computer Week's Government Best Buy, one of Computer Shopper's "Top 100 Products" and Software Development's Jolt Award. InternetWeek also named Red Hat "King of the Linux Server Hill," praising its unmatched technical support."

Following the Josh Scobee saga, there is a report today stating that the Jacksonville Jaguars and Josh Scobee's party have resumed contract talks once again. The Jacksonville Jaguars and Josh Scobee have until July 16 to get a contract negotiated or Scobee cannot get an extension until after the 2012 season. This would mean Scobee would play under the $2.88 million cap hit for the upcoming season.
As Michael pointed out, the two sides have not spoke in months before today's report of them coming together. Using a parameter in terms of contract figures, the Jaguars and Scobee might use other recent signings to assist this process. Denver just inked their kicker Matt Prater to a 4-year, $13 million deal, making him the fifth highest paid kicker in the NFL.
I suspect Scobee will get a contract in that range, and rightly so. In the end, it's good to hear both sides are again officially working towards a resolution before training camp begins.Tags: Football, Jacksonville, Jacksonville Jaguars, NFL

If I'm not mistaken, there are those who swear by it and those who say it's just another way to sell you something, check the wikipedia page before diving in, and decide whether you're willing to invest your time and money in something like this.
When I was in University I participated in a study on speed reading, I have always read and always read fast, we determined that I more or less "absorb" the whole page at once, take a bit to process it then go to the next page (which is why an ereader with less to a page slows me down), some people used what I
is the classic speed reading (sort of down the middle of the page bringing in key words) and some people simply couldn't. I think you almost need to have a brain
a certain way for it to work, one company I worked for sent their execs to a course with very mixed results.
On 'decent' material I could push 1600 wpm with good comprehension, but usually closer to 1200, but that was years ago. Nowdays I figure I'm probably in the 500 range, the mind and eyes are going, annoying to pick up a book I read 40 years ago and find it almost unreadable because they used such a tiny font.
Yet another reason for an eReader, you can keep upping the font size, of course one word per line would make for REALLY slow reading.
I'm finding the glo much easier on my eyes than the touch, even in a lighted room, the backlight makes for easier reading (or is that frontlight, sidelight?)

Teenager killed in Fairbanks car crash
Alaska State Troopers say one person is dead and another was injured following a Fairbanks collision Wednesday afternoon.
The call first came in just after 5:15 p.m., according to AST, and initial investigation revealed a 2008 Toyota Corolla was struck by a 1999 Ford F350 pickup truck at the intersection of Badger Road and Bradway Road. Troopers said 18-year-old Fairbanks resident Elizabeth Schack, the Toyota's driver, died at Fairbanks Memorial Hospital from injuries sustained in the crash. Schack's passenger, a second teenage girl, was also seriously injured in the collision.
Troopers said the driver of the Ford pickup, 51-year-old Fairbanks resident Jeffrey Butler, was also hospitalized but later released with only minor injuries.

Songs That Were Made Famous By Movies
I'm a big fan of watching movies because for that short time you are taken into another world and can forget about what's going on in the real world. When it comes to movies you not only get the story but you get some great music. Here is a list of songs that movies made famous.
Freddie Mercury wrote Bohemian Rhapsody for their album A Night at the Opera.
The song became instantly famous again in 1992 when it was featured in a scene in the movie Wayne's World
Coolio released Gangsta's Paradise in November 1995 on the album of the same name.
The song was also featured in the movie Dangerous Minds and featured on the soundtrack.
Simple Minds recorded the song in 1985.
After it appeared in The Breakfast Club in shot to #1 on the charts.
The song re-emerged in the movie Pitch Perfect in 2012.
This song was released on Peter Gabriel's album So in 1986.
In 1989 it became the theme song for the movie, Say Anything.
Dolly Parton wrote and recorded the song in 1973. It was released on her album Jolene in 1974.
Whitney Houston re-recorded the song in 1992 for the movie, The Bodyguard.
Stay (I Missed You), was Lisa Loeb's debut single. She released the song on her album, Tails in 1994.
The song was also featured in and on the movie soundtrack for Reality Bites.
Yello released Oh Yeah in 1986 on their album, Stella.
The song was featured in the movie in 1987. On another note, an "official" soundtrack for Ferris Bueller's Day Off was never released.
The Proclaimers released this song on their Sunshine on Leith album in 1998. It had success in the UK and Austrailia.
It didn't become a hit until the song was featured in the movie Benny & Joon in 1993.
Bob Seger released this on in 1979. It was on his album Silver Bullet.
The song's fame grew when it was featured in the movie Risky Business, when a young Tom Cruise who was only clad in his underwear, dress shirt, and socks danced to the song.
Life is a Highway was originally written and recorded by Tom Cochrane and released on his 1991 album Mad Mad World. It saw success on the US charts.
However, in 2006, Rascal Flatts covered the song and it was featured on Disney/Pixar's Cars. Although they never released the song to country radio, it went to #18 on the country charts.
Reel 2 Real originally released this song in 1994 and it only peaked at 89 on the charts.
It wasn't until the song was featured in the original Madagascar movie, that it because well known in households all over the world.
It's the theme song for King Julian!
