— NFL playoffs 2013: Wild-card, divisional round schedule, matchups
An analytical first look at Sunday's NFL wild-card playoff matchup (1 p.m. ET, CBS) between the Indianapolis Colts (11-5) and Baltimore Ravens (10-6):
Story lines
Last year at this time, Chuck Pagano was defensive coordinator for the Ravens in the playoffs. This year, he's won his battle with leukemia as the emotionally charged coach of the Colts. As inspiring as Indianapolis has been under Pagano and interim coach/offensive coordinator Bruce Arians, the good fortunes of the blue horseshoe still couldn't have been possible without fearless rookie quarterback Andrew Luck.
That logo also reminds Baltimore fans of the team that once called their city home. Their new team, the Ravens, will be focused on winning another playoff game, which they have done in each of the previous four years with John Harbaugh and Joe Flacco. They will hope to get their own source of added inspiration with the potential healthy return of beloved inside linebacker Ray Lewis, who announced that he plans to retire after the Ravens' playoff run ends. They need some kind of spark after dropping four of their past five games to end up with a worse record than Indianapolis.
Colts player to watch
Andrew Luck. Even with Luck's heroics as a clutch third-down and fourth-quarter quarterback, he had his share of struggles typical of rookies away from home. In eight road games during the regular season, he had 13 total touchdowns to 17 turnovers, even though most of his other numbers were similar to those he posted at Lucas Oil Stadium. Baltimore qualifies as a hostile road environment. It's tough to beat the Ravens there and their crowd likes nothing better than to root loudly against the Colts. Pagano's replacement at defensive coordinator, Dean Pees, has done his best to dial up pressure even with mounting injuries. The Colts' offensive line will have its hands full trying to contain Haloti Ngata and Terrell Suggs up front, and Luck needs to be wary of where savvy ballhawking safety Ed Reed is at all times.
Ravens player to watch
Ray Rice. The Ravens gave Rice some rest in Week 17, and you can bet they'll be ready to give him 25 touches against the Colts' defense. Indianapolis has struggled against the run all season, ranking near the bottom in both yards per game and yards per attempt. Now that Rice has some greater support from strong rookie Bernard Pierce, Baltimore will look to pound away and set up play-action for Flacco to easily hit on long passes downfield. Rice's combination of toughness and quickness will be a challenge for Pagano's linebackers out of the 3-4.
Matchup to watch
Colts' running game vs. Ravens' run defense. The Colts have become more committed to rookie feature back Vick Ballard of late to help take the pressure off Luck. Ballard's powerful style can wear down defenses over time. The Ravens haven't had close to the dominant run defense of years past, and Ballard's north-south discipline will get Indianapolis whatever chunks of yards are available. Considering how terrific Luck has been on third-and-long, the last thing Baltimore wants to do is give him more third-and-shorts to make him feel a lot more comfortable on its home turf.

For the first time on DVD, Shout! Factory is bringing to fans two 1979 live-action TV movies featuring the "Origin" and "Adventures" of Captain America. The Captain America Double Feature, hitting home video on October 18, 2011, includes:
* Captain America - When former Marine Steve Rogers is in an accident, his only hope for recovery is an injection of the FLAG super-serum — created years ago by his own father — which enhances each of his senses, as well as gives him great strength and fast reflexes. And to help him bring his attackers to justice, a government agency outfits him with a motorcycle and powerful shield, then turns the newly formed Captain America loose on the nation's enemies.
* Captain America II: Death Too Soon - Captain America returns to carry on the legacy of his father and defend the country — this time, however, he faces off against the terrorist known only as Miguel and the threat of a chemical agent that rapidly ages those who come in contact with it.

More than 1,700 walkers and volunteers came together to raise £174,000 in a charity night walk.
The 1,500 women walkers flooded into Harrow Leisure on Friday night to walk the nine-mile route in aid of St Luke's Hospice.
Entertainment was provided before the walkers set off, including performances from Krupa Entertainment, the Dhol Drummers and singer Lisa Lee, who got the crowd dancing.
Among the participants were several women with very personal accounts and first-hand experience of the hospice's work.
Vanita Bhavani, who was taking part in the Midnight Walk for the second time, said: "My mum was admitted to St Luke's in 2013 and she died there in December 2013. She had end stage kidney failure and we got her into the hospice for respite care. The staff were really supportive and made the experience less traumatic at a time which was very difficult for us as a family.
"I did the Midnight Walk in 2002 because I wanted to support a local charity and a good cause. But this year I have a bigger connection with the walk and it has much more meaning to me."
The Shree Swaminaryan Mandir Kingsbury put together a team of 85 ladies to take part in the walk, and 27 of its members volunteered on the night.
This was just one of the charity events that has been undertaken in the run up to the Grand Opening Festival of Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Kingsbury in August.
Member Mahesh Bhojani helped organise the temple's volunteers and said: "For us St Luke's is our main charity this year. Our spiritual leader said we have to help organisations in the area and St Luke's helps so many people in the community. I'll be sure to be back here next year with even more marshals to help at the Midnight Walk."
The hospice, which has been running for more than 65 years, cares for residents and families whose illnesses are no longer curable.
Around 1,200 ladies and 200 volunteers took part in the night.
Director of fundraising Pam Russell said: "It was amazing to see so many individuals and groups from all sections of the community coming together to raise funds for our patients and their families. An outstanding £174,000 has been pledged so far.
"The walk wouldn't be possible without the hundreds of volunteers who helped with all aspects of the event, planning, marketing, organising the breakfast, sponsorship and helping out on the night."

A recent viral video of "Batman" getting pulled over by the cops has given way to a heartwarming story.
If you havent already heard, earlier this week the caped-crusaded himself, Batman was pulled over by Gotham Cityserr, Marylands Finest for speeding down Route 29 in a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder.
The incident, which was caught on tape thanks to the in-car video from the police officers that stopped the Dark Knight, quickly went viral. And now thanks to the Washington Post, we have the scoop on this real-life Bruce Wayne.
It turns out the Batman in question is a man by the name of Lenny B Robinson. Robinson, a wealthy philanthropist, spends his days visiting sick children in hospitals in and around the Baltimore area. Driving around in his $225,000 Lamborghini, and $5,000 neoprene and leather Batsuit which he had custom made from a professional costume maker Lenny signs autographs, dishes out Batman toys, and above all, gives suffering children a superhero-sized helping of joy and happiness.
According to the report, Lenny began visiting sick children back in 2001 with his now teenage son who used to accompany him as Robin. What began as an obsession with Batman for his son has now turned into an inspiring tale of compassion and generosity, with Robinson reportedly spending $25,000 a year of his own money on Batman memorabilia and toys for the kids he visits.
So whats next for Batman? According to the Post, Robinson is in the middle of having a real Batmobile built, although were not sure which film it will derive its inspiration from.

The Power of Women
Instinctual Birth Stories
The Author
Sister MorningStar has dedicated a lifetime to the preservation of instinctual birth among native people. Experientially she was raised in the Ozark Mountains within the influence of Cherokee traditions. She birthed her own daughters at home and has helped thousands of other wimyn find empowerment through instinctual birth. Politically she has served on state, national and international boards helping to oversee the development of midwifery certification programs. She serves on the C.A.S.A. International Advisory Board helping to oversee the continued stability of Mexico's first accredited Midwifery School and Maternity Hospital. She is the founder of a spiritual retreat center and author of books related to instinctual and spiritual living. She lives as a Cherokee Hermitess and Catholic Mystic in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri. Visit at www.sistermorningstar.com.
WHY I CREATED THIS BOOK: Wisdom is passed on by women through story telling. The power of that wisdom within women became a source of respect and fascination for me in early childhood. With strong Cherokee roots, our matriarchal heritage provided me with daily opportunities to see the strength, brilliance, great love and instinctual life of my Great Grand Mother, Grand Mother and Mother—and to learn from them.
By twelve I had initiated my first women's study group. For the rest of my life I put into motion multiple spaces and places where women could come together, share, grow and pass along their wisdom and experience to their daughters and their daughter's daughters.
Three decades as a midwife protecting instinctual birth among native peoples recreated in me the power of story telling. Within the journey of pregnancy and birth, as well as all other aspects of our lives, women are deeply affected by a story—far more than a fact. Each of our lives is a powerful story. And in pregnancy and birth our senses are heightened as we create a powerful part of our life's story. We wonder what our story will be. Oh how we long for a beautiful and powerful story! If we must, we will create a dramatic "They saved me or my baby!" story; so important is our need to have a personal story with power.
Every birth and every mother I ever had the privilege and honor to midwife had an amazing, powerful, dramatic story. Filled with mystery, the simplest, most straight forward birth is amazing, powerful and dramatic. The women who embrace and are embraced by birth are powerful or made so as well. Their lives are forever altered by the power that makes their body, their heart and their soul a pathway for another's entrance among us.
These awe inspiring women are the sheros in the book, The Power of Women. All of the women birthed by their own desire against a modern current. Some left their country. Some were VBAC's, postdates, predates, first birth and births after many days with broken water. Some said hello and good-bye the same day. One birthed her twenty-first child. All said no to drugs and surgery and followed an instinct that led them to a miracle.
The book is an educational and inspirational documentary about instinctual birth. It is not about how you should birth. It is about how some women do birth. And for that reason it has value to us as women, as mothers and fathers, as families and friends of birthing mothers, as professionals: anthropologists, sociologists, psychologists, social workers, midwives and midwifery students, doctors and medical students, nurses and nursing students, doulas, childbirth educators, journalists, legislators, attorneys, and value to the next generation.
In the quiet of the night, under the light of moon and stars, long ago, women began a story. It is my privilege to share with you a glimpse of that story and of the power still alive in the daughters of those first women long ago.

Rasmus playing catch-up, but not rushing back
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Colby Rasmus made his return to the Blue Jays' lineup on Tuesday afternoon following an 11-day absence because of a sore neck.
Rasmus hadn't played since Feb. 28, but was given a clean bill of health earlier this week. He resumed baseball activities on Saturday and worked out for two days before getting back on the field for an official game.
The 27-year-old went 0-for-2 with a walk and a strikeout in a 12-2 victory over the Canadian Junior team, but the most important thing is that he is once again facing live pitching.
"I feel it is," Rasmus said when asked if he's now headed in the right direction. "I haven't really done much swinging up to this point. I just kind of got thrown into the game, but I played and felt good, so we'll go from there."
There's very little doubt that Rasmus is currently behind the rest of his teammates in preparations for the start of the regular season, but the good news is that he still has just under three weeks left to catch up. That should be more than enough time to get up to speed and receive an appropriate number of at-bats.
Rasmus said he expected to play again Wednesday afternoon, but he's not about to force himself into extra playing time just because he's currently behind everyone else. It will be important not to overdo things before the first game of the year.
"Just get back into my normal routine, what I've been doing and getting to do my normal stuff will get me right back," Rasmus said. "I'll be fine, I'm not worried about it.
"We have 162 games to play, you're going to have some bumps in the road at the beginning, middle and all the way through. For me, just keep my legs under me, keep my body right. Just relax, take my time, get to feeling good, get the body feeling good and we'll go from there."
Rasmus enjoyed a breakout season at the plate in 2013. He hit .276 with 22 homers and 66 RBIs while posting an impressive .840 OPS in 118 games.

Ticketing and Towing Begins May 1 for Mount Vernon Community Parking District Violations
Fairfax County Office of Public Affairs
12000 Government Center Parkway, Suite 551
Fairfax, VA 22035-0065

Ticketing and Towing Begins May 1 for Mount Vernon Community Parking District Violations
Beginning May 1, police will ticket vehicles parked in violation of the Community Parking District (CPD) regulations recently established in the Mount Vernon Magisterial District. A "tow tag," a warning ticket and an informational flier will be attached to the vehicle. The owner will have 48 hours to move the vehicle. If the vehicle remains in the CPD after the initial 48-hour period, a parking ticket will be issued with an additional 48 hours to move the vehicle. If the vehicle is not removed from the CPD following the second 48 hours, it will be towed.
For a map of the Mount Vernon District CPD and more information on a large area CPD, go to www.fairfaxcounty.gov/fcdot/large_cpd.htm. To report a vehicle in violation of the CPD regulations, call the Police Department's non-emergency number, 703-691-2131, or the Mount Vernon District Office at 703-780-7518; both TTY 711.
The Mount Vernon CPD was established following a public hearing on March 10 and passage by the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors of an amendment to Section 82-5B of the Fairfax County Code to allow large-area CPDs without a petition. A large-area CPD was subsequently passed for the Mount Vernon District. This process augments the current petition-based process that is still in use. In all cases, restrictions only apply to public streets in residential areas within any CPD and there are provisions for limited exclusions.
Vehicles that are not allowed on public streets in residential areas in
the Mount Vernon Community Parking District are:
Boat trailer.
Motor home.
Camping trailer.
Trailer or semi-trailer, even if attached to a vehicle.
Vehicle with three or more axles.
Vehicle with a gross vehicle weighted rating (GVWR) of 12,000 pounds or
Vehicle transporting 16 or more passengers (except school buses).
There is an exemption for vehicles temporarily parked (for up to 48 hours) for the purpose of loading, unloading or preparing for a trip.

Volunteers from the Bradford district are gearing up for the ride of their lives after being picked as Tour Makers for the Tour de France's Grand Depart in Yorkshire.
Becky Clarke of Bingley, Vijay Dayalji of Bradford and Claire Brown of Rawdon will help will welcome millions of visitors when the Grand Depart begins in July and races around Yorkshire for two days, before a third stage from Cambridge to London.
Official applications have just been completed and the local trio is among 12,000 people named this weekend as the first-ever Tour Makers.
Keen cyclist Becky, 35, said: "It's really so exciting and a great privilege – I'm very chuffed!
"It was a bit worrying waiting to hear, but now I just can't wait to get started.
"This really is a once-in-a -lifetime opportunity."
She is a former archaeology student, who now works in health and safety for a supermarket chain.
"I've watched the Tour on TV for years as my dad's a big, big fan," she said. "He's going to be so jealous! Our main role as Tour Makers will be helping the general public and making sure everyone has a safe, good time."
Vijay said he was amazed to have been selected.
"I was completely shocked and am really excited to be a part of it," he said.
"I'm looking forward to meeting people, seeing the riders zoom past and being part of the atmosphere and the buzz." The ground-breaking Tour Maker project is a first in the history of the Tour de France's Grand Departs.
The next step for volunteers is to complete an online event training module before attending the motivational training and uniform collection days in May and June.
Gary Verity, the chief executive of Welcome to Yorkshire, which led the bid to bring the Tour to the region, said: "The response since day one to the Tour Maker project has been unbelievable, with so many people wanting to be directly involved with this historic event.
"Whatever role a Tour Maker plays, wherever that is, they can say for years to come 'I was there and I helped make it happen'."
Tour Maker roles include wayfinders at transport hubs, route marshals, flag marshals and crossing marshals along the route. Volunteers will be allocated roles by the TDFHub2014 Ltd who are delivering the Tour Maker programme.
Nicky Roche, chief executive of TdFHUB2014 Ltd, which is managing the Tour Makers, said: "The standard of applications was incredibly high, and I know that come July we will have a team of incredible, talented Tour Makers ready to welcome the world to the Tour de France in the UK."

MLS commissioner Don Garber is intent on adding the 20th franchise in New York City and is spearheading a movement to get a new 25,000-seat stadium built in Queens.
The man who helped lure the NBA's Nets from New Jersey and the NHL's Islanders from Long Island says the home of the next MLS team should be in Brooklyn, not Queens.
"I know Queens is pushing for a stadium, but I believe pro soccer belongs here in Brooklyn," Brooklyn borough president Marty Markowitz told the New York Post this week. "Soccer is the No. 1 sport in the world, so why shouldn't we have a team here in Brooklyn?"
He says Brooklyn has more brand awareness, a better infrastructure and more soccer fans than Queens.
So as activists fight to save the park land in Queens where the prospective stadium there would be built, that could open the window Markowitz needs to steal a third pro franchise for Brooklyn. Markowitz said four Brooklyn neighborhoods -- East New York, Brownsville East Williamsburg and Bushwick -- could accommodate an MLS stadium and that all have good mass transit access, too.

August 29, 2013 - Under Armour, the athletic shoe and clothing company is sponsoring the "Brothers in Arms Classic" at the University of Maryland Sunday and Monday, as part of a multi-state competition with some of the nation's top high school programs on the east coast.
The Classic is also featured in the states of Alabama, California, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Ohio, and Texas.
The following games are set for Sunday September 1st at Bryd Stadium:
12p - DC city champion Friendship Collegiate will face St. Francis of Baltimore.
4p - Gonzaga will face Coca Beach Florida.
7p - Gillman will face Manatee of South Florida.
On Monday at 3pm. DeMatha will face Tallahassee Godby, the two time Florida 6a champion.
Recently Friendship Collegiate traveled to Delray Beach last week and defeated Atlantic High School 34-0. The Knights after leading 7-0 at the half, exploded for 27 points in the second half.
In the third quarter Friendship's defense forced a fumble and took advantage of Atlantic's miscue with Jonathan Haden scoring from 4 yards out with 8:51 remaining in the third quarter, making the score 13-0. Ashton White raced 52 yards on a punt return with 4:13 remaining, creating a 19-0 Friendship advantage.
At the start of the fourth quarter with Atlantic deep in its own territory, the Knights forced a safety, upping the score to 21-0. Friendship' s defense continued to dominate the fourth quarter, and with 9:41 remaining Kelvit Barrett ran for a 15 yard touchdown to make the score 28-0.
At 5:58 left, Jalen Tabor with 5:58 remaining scored on a 62 yard punt return, creating the final score 34-0.
I had a chance to talk to head coach Azaar Abdul-Rahim before the season opener and we discussed a variety of topics concerning Friendship Collegiate and its program:
You play a very competitive schedule was that by design?
"It was by design and necessity; we have aspirations of being a great program; you have to play and beat great teams. You get better that way I think, you get better in the long run. We play four of the top 100 teams in the country."
Does playing the caliber of teams that you face increase the exposure of your student athletes?
"Definitely. When a college coach can recognize both uniforms and programs on highlight films and tapes it's always a good thing. They respect both programs and they believe that a kid can play on that level because of the competition they play against."
Your offense and your assessment?
"I have been impressed with our offensive line, they are all underclassmen, they have experience from playing last year. We have a three year starting quarterback in DeAndre Parker, the running back is very explosive (Johnathan Haden) who has committed to the University of Arizona. I like our wide receivers, we have a lot of experience on offense."
What about your defense?
"Defense is going to be a work in progress. It's going to be a lot of new starters, we only return two starters on defense. " We are going through growing pains right now, but the two returning starters I have are two BCS caliber players in Jalen Tabor and Daejuan Funderburk (Temple). I'm looking for our offense to carry us in the early part of our season".
How was the experience last year playing for the city championship?
"It was a good experience for everyone." It was the first time a charter school had played for a state title football championship. It was ground breaking and you never take away the first of anything especially for the alumni that have played here the last eight or nine years who were on the sidelines to experience that and we were happy for them. I just think it's good for the city to have a united championship"
What coach Abdul-Rahim has been able to do at Friendship, playing a national schedule, setting the bar where it is for the year 2013 is truly a testament to his belief in his program. When I first saw the schedule my reaction was OMG as they say in the technical world of today. There is no doubt why they are the only public school representing the DMV.
There were a couple of games this past weekend.
Gillman defeated Good Counsel 20-14. Good Counsel has lost their running back Leo Ekowge it appears for the rest of the season. Charlotte Catholic defeated Gonzaga 35-28. St. John's beat Calvert Hall of Baltimore 17-7. and Riverdale Baptist defeated Kipp 42-6.

Topic: IIIntrahepatic post surgery...My story and welcome to it
I was diagnosed in late Feb 2014 after a month of looking for a primary cancer for a 4.3 cm adenocarcinoma in my outer left liver lobe. I was then told that since everything else had been ruled out, it had to be bile duct cancer (it was the only thing that lit up on the PET scan at the time) after going through two CT scans, endometrial biopsy and an upper GI (thank goodness I'd had up to date mammogram and pap smear, plus a colonoscopy only 6 months prior). My oncologist at the time was certain of her diagnosis and that it was operable. I'd already made an appointment at Mayo/Rochester (we live three hours away in good weather) and had requested the pathology slides be sent to Rochester to be reread. On Feb 27th, we drove through a ground blizzard to get to Rochester for my 7 a.m. first stop at the clinic. After a 3 hour meeting ending at noon with an oncology fellow and an oncologist, we were told that nodules in my lungs could be mesothelioma or a sarcoma and there was something binding my uterus and bladder together at some point. They were still looking for a primary cancer someplace other than bile duct cancer. So, they had their radiologists reread the CT and PET scans from home that I had hand carried with me and had their pathology dept redo the additional biopsy material sent to them and reread the slides. The original PET scan done at home that lit up only the tumor in the liver had apparently been done after waiting too long and the radioactive material had decayed too much for a really good scan. We were set up with a 4 p.m. apt with a surgeon to discuss my case and at that time, we were told that the radiologists and pathologists all agreed that this was bile duct cancer. The surgeon apparently took one look at everything, said she'd seen this before and was sure it was bile duct cancer. So, upon meeting with her, she explained what she proposed to do and asked if we were prepared to stay for surgery or if we had to go home first and come back. We'd gone with the intention of surgery as soon as they could do it, so I was scheduled for surgery the next day, Feb 28, 2014. After a 4 hour surgery to remove what was by then a 5 cm tumor and a quarter inch satellite tumor, and 6 lymph nodes, the surgeon was able to get a 2.2 cm clean margin. Pathology later indicated the lymph nodes had no signs of cancer. BTW....my surgeon, Dr. Kaye Reid Lombardo, only operates on pancreases and livers and specializes further in doing these resections as much laproscopically as possible, which is how she did mine. I had an unremarkable recovery and was sent home the morning of March 3, just two full days of recovery after the surgery. It was a rough ride home over Minnesota snow and ice packed highways and I was very sore by the time we arrived at home. I'm recovering from the surgery well, though several of the 5 laproscopic sites have had some issues. Just saw my GP yesterday and she said they were doing okay...just a long healing process. The main incision , about 3 inches long, (done because of my weight) has been healing the best of all of them probably because they used a vacumn pump on it after surgery to aide in drawing out draining fluid and healing. On Aprill 8th, I will have a followup CT scan at Mayo as well as followup appts with the surgeon and oncologists to see how I'm recovering and what comes next. Chemo has been mentioned, but I've also read that for intrahepatic bile duct cancer, often it isn't used. How do they decide ...how do I decide.
Let me back up, because I know some will ask how I was diagnosed. In early 2013, I contracted C-Diff, a bacterial infection of the colon after having taken a strong antibiotic the previous Christmas. After three rounds of antibiotic, two of which were vancamyacin, it was decided that the C-Diff had to be gone, but I still had the same bowel issues continuing of lighter colored and frequent stools. I opted to have a colonoscopy in July to check if there was anything there to cause my continuing problems and to take some biopsies of the colon lining to check for any residual C-Diff. Nothing was found and the biopsies were negative. I was told to use Citracel because it probably would take a while for the water balance in my colon to normalize. My little grandson, who I babysat, passed along several upper respiratory infections during the fall, each time going into bad bronchitis for me and one time, probable pneumonia. Things continued until early October, when I caught the last upper resp infection and saw my doctor. She gave me a lightweight antibiotic (not wanting to risk C-Diff again) and on day 5 of the antibiotic, all the bowel problems stopped...and stayed away for two months, when they suddenly reappeared over about a week's period of time. I went back to my GP in late Dec, and we reran a C-Diff test which was negative, so again, I was told to use the Citracel. It didn't fix anything and made me feel bloated. In later January, the 2 year old grandson gave me another upper respiratory and in 2 days, I was positive I had pneumonia and saw my GP. After she examined me, she then asked how that "other" problem was doing. I told her it hadn't gone away and then she suddenly got a serious look on her face and said she wanted me to have a CT scan of my pelvic organs, specifically, the liver, pancreas and gall bladder. It was done the next day and the rest is history. Oh, and the same antibiotic that caused the symptoms to go away in October, did the same thing on day 5 of the January round of the antibiotic. It has not come back since. All the doctors I spoke to, including the ones at Mayo, have no idea what the connection is to the antibiotic and the symptoms stopping two different times and none of them think that it is related to the bile duct cancer. It well may be that it is totally unrelated to the bile duct cancer, ...a red herring so to speak. So, the liver tumor was found quite by accident when I got pneumonia and saw my doctor, which led to the bowel issue discussion, which led to my doctor getting suddenly getting a gut feeling that she should order the scan.
I was told by both my local oncologist and the Mayo surgeon before surgery, that I had a chance for a cure from bile duct cancer...and if it happens, I probably need to contribute a big amount to our grandson's college fund. That said, both comments about a cure were based on finding one tumor and not two. I've read that having multiple tumors reduces survivability. I realize that I am so fortunate to have this cancer found as early as it was (pathology staging is T2b) and that it was operable. But, then I see that it has a nasty habit of coming back, esp intrahepatic and there's nothing much to offer for adjunct therapy that really kills off even stray cells that may have migrated. Right now, emotionally, I have a weird sense that this is all very surreal....almost as it was a dream and didn't happen. I feel even disconnected to the incisions, which should be a huge reminder. I'm no longer filled with outward anxiety of hand shaking, inability to write or type or talk as I was during all the testing. I need to understand this cancer and what's available for treatment as I've always taken an active role in my healthcare, but researching this disease ends up usually with me crying a lot. I cry the most when people show kindnesses to me and have the most difficult times when I'm around friends and family and they simply ask how I'm doing. I've always been an emotional person and cry even during schmaltzy commercials, but this is always with me and comes out when I least want it to. My friends and family understand me crying to a point, but now that the surgery is over, I think they want me to move on and be positive all the time. I've explained about the recurrence rate of this aggressive cancer because I don't think they really get it. Recently, I've felt like maybe I do have a chance of being one of the few who beat this cancer, and am trying to take this one step at a time, enjoying time with my family and friends. I've kept from posting on here until now, because I've felt guilty about feeling so dismal when I was at least operable when the majority are not, if not even having a potential cure. It's like survivor's guilt, except I have no guarantee that I will beat this.
I apologize for the long post, but I type as fast as I talk or think and I'm a talking kind of person.

EUREKA - One by one, hundreds approached Rev. Eric Freed's open casket to say their final good-byes.
White candles and poinsettias lined the alter in each of the three vigils that took place at St. Bernard Catholic Church on Sunday.
Freed was a man that meant so many things to so many people. He touched the lives of his parishioners at St. Bernard, his students and colleagues at Humboldt State University and an entire community.
For Eureka resident Willa Grant, Freed was helping her become Catholic. As a Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) member, Freed taught Grant how to believe again.
"He renewed my faith in faith," Grant said. "He was very joyous in his faith. He never did the Mass like someone reading a shopping list."
Grant said Freed was never judgmental and helped make her everyday life better by letting go of anger - a lesson Freed preached about.
She also said Freed spoke a lot about breaking the divisions between people and religions.
"I felt that Father Eric not only welcomed my faith," Grant said. "But he welcomed my doubts. And that's big."
Many of the lives Freed touched were the students and his cohorts at HSU.
Sara Hart, taught with Freed for the last six years and spoke at the 4 p.m. vigil that included many of his students.
Hart said Freed was a great friend to her and her family and that he had impact on countless lives.
"He was one of those very rare people who has really learned to have the faith of a mustard seed," Hart said. "And the impact of that is going to be with us for a long time."
Bishop Robert Vasa of the Diocese of Santa Rosa, spoke at the 7:30 p.m. vigil.
Although Vasa did not assign Freed to St. Bernard's he got to know Freed when he visited Eureka.
Vasa recalled a time the two of them went to dinner and said that Freed's energy was obvious, immediately.
"He was so enamored with the Japanese culture and calligraphy. He couldn't help but turn over the place mat and say, 'Well this means this and this means this,'" Vasa said. "I can see how the Humboldt State students and the parishioners would just be affected in the best possible way by the contagious joy and enthusiasm for the Gospel."
Freed was indeed enamored with the Japanese culture.
Dance Farrell, who knew Freed for eight years, said he would write his homilies in Japanese.
Freed's stole, which was draped over his casket, also contained embroidered Japanese characters.
At the 7:30 p.m. vigil, the Knights of Columbus - who traveled from numerous areas including local chapters, Fort Brag and Sacramento - made Freed an honorary fourth degree member.
In Freed's absence, Vasa said that Rev. Loren Allen will be returning to St. Bernard's beginning next weekend's Masses.
Freed was Allen's assistant and they worked with each other for three years.
"I wanted someone to come back who knew the place and the people," Vasa said. "(Allen) can focus his energies on the people and work to help them move forward in a very difficult grief process. (The grief process) doesn't get completed today. It starts today."
Freed's burial will be held today at 11:30 a.m. at Sacred Heart Church in Eureka. A reception at St. Bernard Church will follow the burial services at St. Bernard's Cemetery.

Once again the action shows that it is better to stick with the trend than to time a market top. The market is chugging along and hitting new highs even though the gains in the indices aren't all the large. There just isn't any selling pressure and traders have no choice but to keep making buys if they want to keep pace.
The challenge is that even with a bullish bias, it takes a lot of work to find the right vehicles. You can't just throw money at anything and make money, which is often the case in strong uptrends. In this market, you really have to be a good stock picker to outperform and only a small group of stocks is really working the way you'd expect in an uptrending market.
I keep hearing from both bulls and bears who would prefer to see this market rollover and shake things up a bit, but that may be exactly why it isn't happening. Bulls want better entry points and when they don't come, they bite the bullet and pay up, which keeps things running. I'm hearing a lot of frustration from bulls struggling to keep up with this action.
I have a few ugly reversals on my screens, such as InvenSense (INVN), CVR Refining (CVRR) and ExOne Co. (XONE), and that is pushing me into more cash. I'll keep digging for buys but they sure are not easy.

The mazelike pathways are lined with giant shrubs with blooms that resemble tropical birds or silk scarves blowing in the breeze.
Tom Sauceda leads the way: past the Hebe plants (named for the Greek goddess of youth) with their electric purple blossoms; past a South African specialty, Phylica plumosa, with flowers that call frilly yellow plumes to mind; and past an Australian native, Banksia ericifolia, with startling inflorescences flaming red and yellow and shaped like giant corncobs.
"Everywhere you look, there are more beautiful things," Sauceda says, turning a corner in the UCSC Arboretum, a secret gem in the little city on the Central Coast, "and this is where you're going to see the hummingbirds."
And there they are: at least a dozen of them, each as green as the Emerald City, making excited clicking noises as they hover to sip nectar from the flowers of a Grevillea "Ruby Clusters," a name that captures the color and profusion of its blooms.
"They are very territorial, very aggressive little birds," explains Sauceda, a botanical curator who has worked at the arboretum for 20-plus years. "Just wait! The little buggers are probably going to start fighting: 'Hey, that's my flower!' "
Covering 64 acres on campus, the Arboretum is open seven days a week. ($5 adults; $2 ages 6-17; free, ages 5 and under; http://arboretum.ucsc.edu).
High in the hills above town, it's a quintessential Santa Cruz spot: It adjoins redwood forests, and while driving to it, you can soak in the ocean views. Take a picnic. Visit the gift shop. (It sells quite a few of the exotic plants that grow on the grounds.)
When you're finished, exit on High Street, driving west to soak in those vistas (they'll be on your right), then hang a left on Spring Street. Now you're heading to Pogonip Park — you'll see the gate at the top of the street — where you can hike eight miles of trails through 640 acres of redwoods and meadows, all within the city limits.
Oh, Santa Cruz, it's your betwixtness that defines you. Culture and counterculture. Forest and sea. Surfers and professors. (Or surfers who are professors.)
You are quirky, funky and laid-back, yes. But you also have superb restaurants, repertory movie houses that rival San Francisco's (The Nick, 210 Lincoln St.; the Del Mar, 1124 Pacific Ave.), thriving independent bookstores, and the best jazz club on the West Coast (Kuumbwa Jazz Center, 320-2 Cedar St.).
With only 62,000 residents, you are unique; your small population belies your large reputation. You are a state of mind, for sure, but you also offer a thousand things to do, including new ones every day. That's why I never get tired of you.
You've been my hometown for 26 years, and this is my Insider's Guide to you, the city of Santa Cruz, the jewel of the Central Coast.
The Westside
Five minutes from downtown, this neighborhood has taken off, and much of the activity centers on Swift and Ingalls streets (just off Mission Street, the main drag).
Visit the micro-boutique wineries (www.surfcityvintners.com ), a whole cluster of them, offering tastings and surrounded by cool shops selling designer clothes, high-end lights, high-end yarn, fancy meats.
Enjoy one of the seasonal ales at the all-organic (and often crowded) Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing (402 Ingalls St.). Linger over a creamy bowl of polenta at Kelly's French Bakery (402 Ingalls St.), which shares a spacious patio with the surrounding shops, a favorite gathering spot for locals. Turn the corner and shop for French linens at Vero France (330 Ingalls St.).
I know, I know. Too much laid-back stimulation (it's that betwixtness, again), too much comfort — and just another day on the Westside, which has become a hot spot for dining.
Check out these restaurants: O'mei (the Cui Pi orange beef! the eggplant! the flavors!), Bantam (gourmet pizzas, thin-crusted and wood-fired), West End Tap & Kitchen (great burgers), Ristorante Avanti (chicken cacciatore like grandma made), and Your Place (which just opened and has exceptional sand dabs, delicately breaded and lightly sauteed).
But the best parts of the Westside are outdoors: Begin at nearby Seymour Marine Discovery Center: Touch a swellshark, view the 87-foot skeleton of a blue whale, walk the cliffs (100 Shaffer Road. (http://seymourcenter.ucsc.edu ).
Next activity: Stroll the length of West Cliff Drive — a dramatic (and mercifully flat) ocean-side jaunt — from Natural Bridges State Park to Mitchell's Cove Beach, which is dog-friendly and filled with curvaceous rock formations, easy to climb, at the base of Sunset Avenue.
Continue to Lighthouse Point to watch the surfers in Steamer Lane, to listen to the barking sea lions on Seal Rock and to explore the Santa Cruz Surfing Museum inside the Lighthouse (www.santacruzsurfingmuseum.org)
Follow West Cliff Drive all the way to the end, and you'll be at the Santa Cruz Wharf (where Riva Fish House, at No. 31, has the best calamari in town) and on the fringes of downtown (where the Santa Cruz Warriors, an NBA development team, play through early April at Kaiser Permanente Arena, 140 Front St.)
You'll also be next to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk amusement park. Giant Dipper time! (Check boardwalk hours and events at http://beachboardwalk.com.)
The business corridor along Pacific Avenue has taken a rap for its aggressive panhandlers. Far from the quaint place it was years ago, it remains a fascinating place; it's got life to it. And in the mornings, it still can be quiet and calming in a small-town way.
Try the "Mike's Mess" with home fries and cornbread at funky Zachary's Restaurant, the most classic of the city's breakfast spots (819 Pacific Ave). I'm also partial to the Bagelry (try the hummus or egg salad toppings, or the "Moxie"; 320 Cedar St.) and the tucked-away Hidden Peak Teahouse, where you can sip unusual blends and purchase cool vintage teapots; no cell phones allowed (1541-C Pacific Ave.).
And don't forget: you'll never "get" Santa Cruz without spending time in its downtown cafes, of which there must be more per capita than anywhere in California.
These are some definitive ones: Caffe Pergolesi, aka "the Perg," a bide-your-time hippie place in an old Victorian (418 Cedar St.); Lulu's at the Octagon (118 Cooper St.), where friendly baristas serve up specialty drinks in an eight-sided landmark building (next door to the Museum of Art and History, 705 Front St.); and trendy Verve Coffee Roasting, which owns the current scene; brewing a cup of coffee is theater at Verve (1540 Pacific).
There's fine dining, too: With its deep wine list and delectable small plates, Soif Restaurant Wine Bar and Merchants (105 Walnut St.) is my favorite dining spot in Santa Cruz, though romantic little Gabriella Café (910 Cedar St.; and oh, the risotto with chanterelles!) isn't far behind.
For a handcrafted dessert, cross the street to Penny Ice Creamery (913 Cedar St.), where lines often are out the door.
And, oh yes, there are blocks and blocks of shops: Artisans Gallery (1368 Pacific Ave.), O'Neill Surf Shop (110 Cooper St., at Pacific Avenue) Sockshop & Shoe Co. (amazing deals on outdoor sale days, 1515 Pacific Ave.) and Chefworks (1527 Pacific Ave.) are some of the most interesting.
I've left the best for last: those locally owned bookstores, which have outlived the Borders invasion and bankruptcy. If you love books, then while away the hours at Bookshop Santa Cruz, among the nation's leading independents (1520 Pacific Ave.); at tiny Literary Guillotine (204 Locust St.), impossibly crammed with volumes; or at Logos Books & Records (1117 Pacific Ave.), a mecca with inventory stretching over two floors.
Dave Iermini, one of Logos' veteran buyers, tells the story of a friend who was at a party in London, where he met Bruce Thomas, who played bass with Elvis Costello and the Attractions. "Where are you from?" Thomas asked, being polite. "Santa Cruz, California," the friend answered. "Oh!" shouted Thomas, in his broad British accent. "Logos Books and Records!"
East of downtown lies Midtown (some refer to it as the Eastside), a neighborhood that's reaching critical mass along Soquel Avenue: shops, restaurants, cafes, grocers.
At night, indie bands pack the Crepe Place (1134 Soquel Ave.). The Rio Theatre (1205 Soquel Ave.) books an intriguing mix of events: Leo Kottke, Bela Fleck and Ursula K. Le Guin are among the coming attractions. The Buttery (702 Soquel Ave.) has the best baked goods in Santa Cruz; kill me with the carrot cake, please.
It's worth braving the lines at Tacos Moreno (1053 Water St.) for the al pastor burrito and chile verde tacos. And you cannot beat the breakfast scrambles at Linda's Seabreeze Cafe (542 Seabright Ave.), only a few blocks from one of the sweetest (and least touristy) beaches in the city, Seabright State Beach at the foot of Third Avenue.
It's also in Midtown that I've discovered a new breakfast and lunch place, Midtown Cafe (1121 Soquel Ave.), which opened in January. It's sleek and airy, with community tables in the front room and a sunny back patio where I recently sat down with owner Zac Creager. At age 30, he already has had a couple of careers: as a trekking guide in Chile and as a manager of local farmers markets. He describes the food in his cafe as "soulful and simple."
I'll go with "soulful," but simple? I had the pork confit, generously mounded in the center of my plate, topped with a perfectly fried egg, served with a potato pancake and bordered by slivers of roasted golden beets, locally sourced, of course. It was delicious, it cost $8, and the cafe had a buzz; the patio was quickly filling up with couples and young families. Coltrane was playing on the sound system.
"Soulful," I thought to myself. "This is my new place."

Adam Lallana was irritated by the criticism aimed at him following Saints' complaint against referee Mark Clattenburg, according to goalkeeper Kelvin Davis.
The club's complaint about Clattenburg's alleged remarks during the Premier League defeat by Everton on December 29 was thrown out by the FA and the referees' governing body. The official was accused of telling Lallana: "You are very different now, since you've played for England – you never used to be like this."
Despite the club rather than the player raising the matter, Lallana has been widely ridiculed, something that initially upset him.
However, club captain Davis has been impressed by his response, highlighting his decisive strike in last weekend's 4-3 FA Cup defeat of Burnley as a sign of his resilience.
"I think for the first day he was a bit like 'why is everyone coming for me?'," he said.
"He made a remark after the game, conversations happen and the end result was the end result.
"But anyone that knows Adam knows that first of all he is a good pro, a good lad, a good person. "After the first day or two he realised that himself, that he hadn't done anything wrong, he shouldn't be feeling anything negative about himself and then he scored against Burnley. "That kind of epitomises where he is mentally."
Davis hopes everyone can "move on" from the Clattenburg debate, allowing Lallana's talent to be focused upon.
A place in England's World Cup squad is looking increasingly likely for the Saints academy graduate as his rise from League One to be one of the country's best continues apace.
"As he gets older, he has got that bit of belief that what he was doing in the Championship he can step up and do at a higher level," Davis said.
"When he first had the Southampton armband, you could see it kind of held him back a little bit. But now the way he has matured, he doesn't find that a weight now. Again, that comes down to belief.
"The manager coming in at the time he did and working closely with him has helped.
"The way he has been treated from the very top of the club with his new contract has helped the way he has developed, with the England call-up probably that final turning point in his head.
"He has a real opportunity to really become a very good player at this level."

Results might not count at this stage of the summer, but boss Tommy Williams says Kingstonian have plenty to prove this weekend.
The new Ks chief will cast his eye over five hopefuls in Saturday's training match at Walton Casuals – which kicks off the club's pre-season campaign – and Williams wants them to impress.
"We do want to get into that winning mentality early, but at the same time it is part of getting everyone match sharp for the start of the season," he said.
"We only wanted to bring in a small number of trialists – about four or five – so we did not disrupt the group we've already got.
"I know what they can do it is just a case of seeing how they fit in with everyone."

Mild hypothermia improves outcome in patients with global cerebral ischemia after cardiac arrest. Hypothermia seems promising also in other acute hypoxic-ischemic or in brain swelling associated cerebrovascular disease. The narrow-time-frame is a major issue ("time is brain"). To provide immediate cooling without delay, easy to use, mobile and effective methods are needed. Cold infusions (4 °C) are an accepted standard worldwide. EMCOOLS Flex.Pads (Emergency Medical Cooling Systems AG, Wien, Austria) is a new non-invasive surface cooling system. A comparison of these two induction methods has never been done before. Neither was the effect of EMCOOLS Flex.Pads on brain-temperature measured. For the first time iCOOL 2 compares feasibility, safety and efficacy of the two methods.

Trim / Pritch & Trim Trim / Pritch & TrimI Am + Stereotype / Kiss My Arse
One of the best - and often underrated - MCs to come out of London's grime scene in the last decade, Trim returns with not one but two releases across the Butterz and Planet Mu labels this summer. Boy is it good to have him back. First up is his release on Butterz, "I Am". On the 'A' side Trim vocals TRC's "Skipping Rope"; riding the hyperactive instrumental, led by feverish percussion and synth tabs, with uplifting rhymes that neatly summarise all that is great about his flow – from tongue twisting verses to hilarious pauses and puns. The flip side sees LV – fresh off the back of their "Routes" album on Keysound – twisting the riddim up, keeping its uplifting, bouncy vibe but injecting it with a deliciously addictive melody. Perfect for the summer and the clubs. All in all, a short but very sweet release on the increasingly strong Butterz label.
Following this there's a brand new 12" on Planet Mu – a less obvious home for Trim on paper – which sees the MC team up with none other than Mark Pritchard, aka Harmonic 313 (and a thousand other aliases). My surprise at discovering the two had collaborated was quickly surpassed by my pleasure at the strength of the release. In contrast to the Butterz release, which follows more from Trim's previous grime output, the Pritch & Trim 12" on Mu is a hip hop affair with Mark delivering an instrumental on "Stereotype" in the vein of his Harmonic 33 releases back on Alphabet Zoo, updated with bigger bass. Over a rolling beat and looped keys Trim proves that his incredible delivery and flow is also impeccable on slower riddims, this time focusing on stereotypes and prejudices. At the time of writing this, London's been burning (in many parts literally) for four days and Trim's rhymes are oddly relevant and poignant.
It's the flip side though – "Kiss My Arse" – that very much wins it for me, easily the best Trim track since the "Soulfood" mixtapes. Pritchard delivers another rolling production, this time upping the tempo with punching bass kicks and Arabic melodies that give it a flavour reminiscent of Pinch's "Qawwali" at a slower tempo, especially on the chorus. Trim continues his incredible vocal showcase, this time broaching his previous history with Roll Deep - rumours and the likes - in the process dealing with his detractors in the best way possible: proving that by just doing 'me, Trim van' he is better than most.
It's funny, I was lamenting the lack of new Trim – aside from recent mixtapes which I've not been madly keen on – and then all of a sudden two strong releases drop. Hopefully this is far from the end as he proves to be – alongside Wiley – one of the most fascinating and enjoyable voices to have come out of the grime scene.

Figured this game probably deserves its own thread, sure a lot of you are going out for the midnight release.
The game has gotten positive reviews and I honestly haven't been this excited for a game in a while, the multiplayer looks like it will be solid again, with a Call of Duty point system being installed and the Spartan-Ops mini missions, as well. Campaign should be a little different, too.
Can't wait to snag my copy tonight!

There is no NBA player named Monte Ellis.
AGREE. I've wanted another big since the season started. I liked Mozgov last year and wanted to get him this off season. He's athletic and can handle the ball. Lance and him could be a good combo with Lance feeding him in the post.

How many 2nd games of a back to back will we play in the playoffs?
Zach Lowe @ZachLowe_NBA 3h
Last night's loss in DEN makes it 6 of IND's 9 total losses on road back-to-backs. Spoiler alert: those don't exist in the playoffs.
This is a great point. So much of the Pacers' advantage is that they are able to outplay teams with their raw energy and physical abilities. But those get weakened when you're on a back to back.
I fully expect us to come out with a lot of energy against LA tomorrow.
How many of those 5 losses have been in the last 15 games or so?
How many of those 5 losses were away games?

Yes, I remember years ago some of the top teams losing to 1st year expansion teams.
"Just look at the flowers ........ BANG"
I figured this was going to be a loss we barely got past the Kings and had to go into OT to get a win.
I expect them to bounce back against the Lakers though.
However these slow starts are reminding me of the Colts this past season.
Does anyone know how many NBA ref crews there are?
I'll worry about the playoffs when they start. I'm concerned now with the reg season and what might be reasons for losses.
The reason for the loss: It was the 2nd night of a back-to-back after a long game the night before with travel, and we didn't have the energy. Also this game really doesn't matter at all.
1) It was a B2B for us, but not them
2) They had lost their last two games which were on the road, with the last one being in Portland on Thursday
3) Friday wasn't just a B2B...it was an excruciating OT win that went late into the evening.
4) Denver exploited our weakness...small ball where guards are explosive offensively
The only thing that is remotely a concern is our weakness against small ball combined with PnR's with Roy in there. But even that's not a huge concern because the best teams don't play that style. If anything, this loss is a good lesson for us and may help us reduce that weakness.
Lance is finally home. Whether he becomes our starting PG or he's 6th man, he's getting big minutes and he's here to stay. #llortontnia
Honestly, I never expected the Pacers to beat Denver.
1) they haven't had much success in Denver
2) they had to go to OT to win the nite b4
3) the altitude
4) West Coast trip
Not surprised they lost, but still not overly disappointed.
This west coast trip seemed bad for travel: golden state to phx back to Sacramento to Denver back to LA seemed poorly made but I guess the league isn't going to make it easy
Guess no one was paying attention to Denari last night; he had an interesting factoid that is relevant: Going into the game, Denver was 50-8 against visiting teams playing their second game of a b2b. 50-8. Obviously there's something to be said about the difficulty of b2b's.
Because our goal this season is to get past Miami and win the championship. If Granger cannot contribute off the bench at a high level, then he's a liability. Stuckey is an expiring. We could trade Danny for an expiring contract of a player far more productive than he is. Stuckey looks better than Granger these days. Plus, Stuckey backing up Lance would allow Copeland to back up PG and finally get some minutes. There are also the Thornton's, Nick Young's, and Jeff Green's of the world. But the first two have 1 year remaining on their deals. Green has 2 years.
Oh my gosh again with the freaking trades. Please get over it man. I'm begging you.
This was also the Pacers 12th out of their 20 B2B's. The Heat have played 9 B2B's out of their 17.
"It's just unfortunate that we've been penalized so much this year and nothing has happened to the Pistons, the Palace or the city of Detroit," he said. "It's almost like it's always our fault. The league knows it. They should be ashamed of themselves to let the security be as lax as it is around here."
----------------- Reggie Miller
What are you trying to argue? We have only lost one home game, so those losses were away games.
except Lance, he can stay.
Oh, and that PG is good enough for 2 Tacos.
Man, I hate tacos.
"Nobody wants to play against Tyler Hansbrough NO BODY!" ~ Frank Vogel
"And David put his hand in the bag and took out a stone and slung it. And it struck the Philistine on the head and he fell to the ground. Amen. "
nah....trade them all for Chicken N Waffles!
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
If I couldn't get a filet and a baked potato out of a deal, then no way.
"Just look at the flowers ........ BANG"
The opposite is true. Danny is producing well when given the minutes and especially the shot opportunities. If Vogel called the plays for him and gave him 25 minutes he'd be giving us 15+ points right now. He's also passing and defending well. In short he's ready to step up if Vogel will use him. I think giving Danny those minutes in the past 2 games would have given us better defense then Paul or Lance in those same minutes considering how they were defending. No trade is needed we just need to utilize the talent we have.

Precendent-setting agreements between the Government of BC and the First Nations have resulted in a unique benefit sharing agreement that enables a forest carbon project to take place on government lands subject to unextinguished aboriginal rights and title. Reconciliation Protocols signed between the BC Government and the Coastal First Nations (an alliance of First Nations communities on British Columbia's North and Central Coast and Haida Gwaii) produce and share revenue from carbon credits generated on traditional First Nations territory.
The forest carbon offset project supports the development of a conservation economy and revenue from carbon offset sales are returned to the original stewards of this land. The revenue creates training and employment in a new, sustainable industry; it supports the communities and the cultures that originated here, and it acts as a model for a low carbon economy.
