KyliePaige752 (Inactive) writes:
in response to skypilot:
"According to the Humane Society of the United States' website, trap-neuter-release programs are the most effective response to feral cat overpopulation."
Here we go again. This ought to be worth 100-150 comments so I might as well get it started.
I guess there is something "magic" in the sterilization process that suddenly keeps the cats from being a problem. The problem remains - the problem is cats nobody wants. "At the time, he said (Mr.Halbert), 50 cats were roaming the west side of campus, getting into and under buildings and interfering with electrical equipment.
When the word spreads about the program everyone who doesn't want their cats and their offsprings anymore will simply take them to the ASU campus and dump them - they have a program "you know" - nudge nudge wink wink.
The most effective way is to trap - find them a home - if you can't find them a home, put them down. Trap-neuter-release simply maintains the undesired level of the cat population - it does not solve the problem.
I have a cat, like cats, like domestic and well cared for cats. I don't like feral cats (spayed or neutered). They are unvaccinated (after a year), carry disease (rabies and feline distemper), tics, fleas, and a host of other parasites that are harmful to other animals and humans. When your "traped-neutered-released" frothing at the mouth rabid cat bites someone - what then?
"Stanley adopted seven of the cats ASU transported to the shelter, she said, with hopes that she could eventually return them to the campus sterilized and vaccinated." So who feeds Ms. Stanley's seven cats and has their vaccinations and city license kept current every year? I don't really think she "adopted" the cats - she just "sprung them" from the big house and dumped them back where they started out, to cause the same problems as before. She is the bail bond agent for feral cats - gets them back on the street to go back doing what they were doing to begin with.
Great program - let's do dog packs and bisons next. Really!
Skypilot, while it's nice of you to voice your opinions, your cynicism at the end would not have been missed had it been omitted. Mrs. Stanley did indeed adopt seven cats, as crazy as that seems. Because the cats are from the campus and a deal between the Coalition and veterinary office is in place, coupons were used to neuter them, get them their shots, and test for disease. Many if not all of them are still living in her home along with the cats and dogs she already has because, believe it or not, selfless people exist in this world - K Stanley being one of them. She has personally trapped and cared for these cats, doing what she can with the money and resources she has.
The problem you mentioned about cat dumping is a real one. Even without a nearby TNR colony, many people find college campuses to be convenient places to drop their unwanted cats or kittens. As it is now, it cannot be helped. What this city needs are strict dumping laws in place to discourage this irresponsible behavior and a properly educated public. One cannot continue to say, 'just put them down, that will take care of the problem!' That's what ASU tried to do, and it's never worked before. The problem lies in the bad habits of this community; it's become ridiculous. The euthanasia rate at the shelter here is incredibly high as it is!
Mrs. Stanley is right in saying that the strays of today are the descendents of someone's pets. Responsibility has to be taken - we can't sweep this under the rug.
Also, to skypilot: it's interesting to think that a person can say they like an animal the way you do. You like the pandas at the zoo, but if they go extinct in the wild, eh, who cares? You like orcas enough at Sea World, but don't care much for whether or not they're hunted and killed in real life if they don't do any tricks. I don't think you can say you truly "like" an animal and use it in an argument like you do when your "like" is so conditional. How is anyone supposed to believe you mean it? Try, 'I've heard of cats; I let this one cat live in my house once. Never met the others though. I assume they're all better off dead.'

Great for a getaway weekend. Private, beautiful quarters with view of rushing water out your window. So peaceful. Enjoyed having coffee on the porch and breathing in the fresh mountain air while looking out at the water. It was fun to play pool on your private pool table for evening entertainment. Bedroom and bath were so beautiful. Did not want to leave when the weekend was over.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, romantic getaway.

Clean and inviting, we found it easy to sleep late at this oasis of calm. Once we pried our eyes open, we brewed coffee in the kitchen (great coffee btw) while we contemplated starting another game of pool. Decided coffee along the river was our best option and headed to the beach. The gurgling Chestatee provided ample entertainment as we sat with our toes in the sand and java in hand. Great way to start a lazy day. Looking forward to our next visit.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, romantic getaway.

"Ever since I killed her kid she be actin' shady." Actual quote overheard at Marine World just now. Oh God.
So you honestly dont remember putting honey in your bong? You kept talking about how you wanted to become a bee and fly
It's a shame that I don't know his last name. Actually, it's an ever bigger shame that I don't know his first name
both roomates are passed out on the floor. I feel like I'm missing out on crucial bonding time by sleeping in my bed.
When i look at that picture of him, i'm a little proud to be like yeah, his dick was in my mouth saturday no big deal.
I'm still trying to figure out how you came back with chinese food, and a spoon covered in icing saying 'cake..'
As much as I'm all for laying on his living room couch, watching spongebob and having spoon sex, it's becoming a routine.
If this wasn't a work function my tits would be out already.
i'm going to invent a mini fridge that can hang from faucets so i don't have to get out of the bathtub anymore for a cold beer. its a million dollar idea
Lets now bow our heads and think of girls with ex boyfriends who were great at fingering them. That's so sad.
You don't know how badly I want to just hold you as a soup spoon holds a bisque
Im gonna get home and destroy this bag of chicken nuggets with my soul.

From The State of Social Sharing in 2013 (Infographic) @ wired.com:
- The top 8 of sharing platforms and apps is Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Google+, YouTube, Tumblr and Instagram.
- The best way to "go viral" is to engage millions of users, each of them sharing through small networks.
- In general, social networks are made up of curators and creators, as 46% of adult internet users share content created by themselves, while 41% take photos or videos that they have found online and repost them. Of course, there are also those who do both curating and creating.

- 86% of people say they are bothered by the need to create new accounts on websites
- 77% responded that social login is "a good solution that should be offered by any site"

How to create the perfect Pinterest post
From How to create perfect posts on social platforms by mycleveragency:
- No human faces. Images without faces get repinned more often than images with faces. Of images shared by brands, those without human faces are repinned 23 percent more often.
- Little background. When a background rises above 40 percent of the total image area, repins are typically halved or quartered.
- Multiple colours. Images with multiple dominant colours garner more than three times the repins.
- Lots of red. Predominantly red or orange images get twice the repins.
- Light and colour. Images with 50 percent colour saturation got repinned four times as often as images with 100 percent saturation.
- Portrait style. Images did best in a vertical orientation with an aspect ration between 2:3 and 4:5
Pinterest: what they're pinning vs what they're buying
From The Pinterest Effect @ visual.ly:
A recent PEW study has shown that 15% of [U.S.] internet users are on Pinterest, making it the third most popular social media site in the U.S. And now the site is making a localized effort in the UK. Some say Pinterest is disrupting the social media landscape, but is it influencing online purchase behavior?
The most popular pin types are cooking and recipes, home decorating, craft ideas, fashion and shopping, entertaining, and gardening.
But what they're actually buying after pinning it is a different list: food and cooking, fashion and clothing, home decorating, and crafts.

ESPN's big scoop of the day — that Major League Baseball "will seek to suspend about 20 players connected to the Miami-area clinic at the heart of an ongoing performance-enhancing drug scandal" — raises a logical question:
Do fans care?

Good morning. I'm Linda Wertheimer.
Yankees fan Bernando LaPallo was born the same year as his team. And Saturday, more than a century after attending his first game, LaPallo was at the New Yankee Stadium for what he called: the greatest day of my life. He shook hands with shortstop Derek Jeter. But 93 years earlier, LaPallo shook hands with Babe Ruth who called him my youngest admirer. LaPallo is now 111 years old.

For New York Mets fans, 1986 was a glorious year. The Mets won an epic seven-game World Series against the Boston Red Sox.
Millions turned out for a raucous parade through Lower Manhattan the next day. One man conspicuously absent from the celebrations was Dwight Gooden, the Mets' 21-year-old star pitcher, who had a blistering fastball and nasty curve.

Chief executive Geoffrey Thomson said if the deals came off, the Perth business may look to return cash to shareholders by a dividend or use the proceeds to fund further acquisitions.
He said: "We have quite a mature portfolio now and we would expect several realisations to come through in the next few years."
Braveheart's portfolio includes Livingston-based internet security software specialist Bloxx, Glasgow life sciences firm Biopta and Edinburgh infrared sensors business Pyreos.
Mr Thomson said he could not reveal which companies in the portfolio were close to being sold.
The news came as the Perth business returned to the black by reporting a profit of £68,000 for the 12 months to the end of March this year, compared to a £1.7 million loss for 2012.
Overall income soared 198% from £1.12m to £3.34m mainly because of a rise in investment management income from £932,000 to almost £2.6m.
Braveheart also benefited from a revaluation of investments worth £306,000, compared to a £200,000 loss from the prior year.
Excluding that portfolio valuation movement the company's pre-tax loss narrowed from £1.5m to £240,000.
Mr Thomson confirmed Braveheart's focus was on growing its fund management and corporate finance business. Funds under management grew by £11m to £121m in the year.
Braveheart now runs a number of loan funds around Britain including the Finance Yorkshire Equity Fund, the Growth Loan Fund in Northern Ireland, the Lechesis Fund and the Strathclyde Innovation Fund.
It also has Viking Fund Managers and its Envestors corporate finance advisory business, which has bases in London, Manchester, Jersey, the Isle of Man, Monaco and Dubai.

waddup lambspoke!?
we're off, off, off, off, off broadway with this shit nigga. I'm talkin lampsoke, I'm talkin inmate theatrics. It's showtime with your number one reviewin nigga from the big sweat danglin down south, where the bikinis get wore out by the real things and houses made out of cocaine. It's moneymaker don johnson yall!
So to begin this niggas have been hyping this shit for like 100 rotations and I was about sick of this shit before it even took up on the stage. So my expectorations was low at a minimium. It should only go up from here is all I'm sayin.
Seems to me from all evidence there was some sort of fundamental type of misunderstanin what constitutes a Christmas Pageant. You got that bald ass white boy Randy Curdo in charge of the ninjaturtles up in X Block come down to H Block like a talent scout and hook it up with Jesus Beast. Now normally I aint got no time standin on superstition and prayin and shit, you gotta make your own miracles is all I mean, but Jesus Beast come around you better say your prayers nigga. Let the Lord hear you testify, because Jesus Beast got hands like bear paws and he gonna teach you to get christ in you real fast, especially if he come up behind you in the shower.
Ain't nobody like a brutalizer, especially one convert your religion, but Jesus Beast got to have some respect for flyin solo. Until he gone turn coat and hook up with Randy Curdo. Get himself more library cart passes and shit for helpin his white boy write up some religious shit for the pageant. You can take one look at the cover and tell you that maybe randy and the beast need to look up in some bibles and pray on that shit more.
Damn, to begin with you got snakes and shit. I don't even know what a manger is but I think it's like a bucket you put a baby in. Ain't no evil clavo snake crawling up on a freaky ass birdbath. Little angel niggas liftin it up like it weigh eight grams. Detroit Ladyfingers said it look like a dice table but that nigga think everythin is a dice table. He just looks for some excuse to roll out and lose his cigarettes and titty pictures. Dan Hitler give me some unrequested input sayin it look like odin shit or whatever retarded church white power come from.
That ain't all that is fucked up about the program though. On top of that weird ass cover you got the contents, which was a list of some people I ain't ever heard of from X Block, like Pig Pipe and CC Jelly Jacks, you got this big fold out map which I think is a map of lambtown.
Tormentin niggas tryin to hatch some escape plans or some shit. Aint no way out nigga, put down that map right now. You in here for triple life on account of bodily rapes you did on some lynxes, dont go tryin to get out the house youll just get yourself shot or zapped by some robot. Backwards shit and hebrew stars? Please.
You think you gonna open up a door and Rabbi Zig Zag is gonna roll up some kush and wrap yall around trees until you open the secret israel hatch and fly away home on a hebrew cloud? No, ain't no clavo jew door waitin somewhere. Ain't no backwards niggas gettin out. You down here for good, bitch. Get drag out by DOBS send your bitch choker to some needy white boys in connecticut aint got enough inches. You leave when its stew time, nigga. Not before.
Good day. We are Hester and Karl, and we are something rare. We are a couple ... of Stock Photo Lifestylists! Lifestylers? We lead a Stock Photo Lifestyle.
I want my bed to look like the health department is checking for bedbugs. I want to feel like it's on an episode of Maury getting scanned for semen.

IN BRIEF - 'Salmon signature' used to study historic Alaska fish returns
UNITED STATES Thursday, February 14, 2013
Alaskan fishermen are no strangers to the roller coaster flux of salmon returning to home spawning grounds. Most fishermen have experienced or at least witnessed both banner years and disaster years, riding out the consequences of a life lived according to marine resources.
Modern biologists have come to recognize these strong and weak variances as cycles that span not years but decades. Now, studies coming out of the University of Washington (UW) are indicating recognizable cycles that cross hundreds of years in their rotation.

Colin Pulled Over and Picked Up
Colin was pulled over this weekend but it doesn't look like he got in as much trouble as Paris did. Perhaps it's because Colin has cleaned up his act and hopefully he won't have any DUIs in the future. The nice guy even posed for photos with fans after dealing with the cops.

Don't tick me off. Or you'll get it.
I could agree more avril!! Who cares who don't care for Colin!!! He is the best. Cute, funny, sexy... and a talented actor. I am sure how he looks is because he is required to for his new character in the new film.
who Care's what the people say he is handsome and perfect hahaha so i love him! Colin is the best
I think it's funny those women saw him being pulled over and went to go get a pic with him.
I got admit the girls and I at my office downloaded his porn at work. And his equipment wasn't bad, but he could stand a wax.
Style Before Comfort!
lickety split
pokemyhontas, totally agree. what a bunch of rubes.
sica; back off! (just joking with ya :) there are only a few of us on here that like him)
lol jennifeer76 i bet its in the back of every celebritys mind whenever something bad happens. i bet they get pretty pissed when ashton kutcher doesnt jump put and they actually have to deal with a real problem, lol
What I can't get over are the dipshit women that actually went over to his car, to ask him for an autograph & pics when he's been pulled over by the police.
People are so unbelieveably crass anymore.
In Alexander there was a good shot of his package you know the scene when he is getting into bed with jared leto
Ha ha ha, that's great. The girls are like HE'S STUCK! LOL
I wonder if every time something bad happens, if celebs wonder "hey, am I getting punk'd"?

Maid costume dressed Saber from "Fate/hollow ataraxia" is back with few changes! Skin and hair color has been adjusted and the base, and the package has been made into a new style.
Not a weapon but a mop holding Saber leaves a impression of manliness but is very cute. Being sculpted by Kuramoto, soft body and slight charm of a woman can be enjoyed.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- When Utah won convincingly in the first two games against Seattle, it seemed no stretch to think the Jazz would make short work of the SuperSonics.
John Stockton knew better.
''After Game 2, they were reeling a little bit,'' Stockton said. ''They didn't quite know what it was that made them a good team, but they figured it out early in the third game.
Instead of crawling away, the Sonics made it an outstanding first-round series. It wasn't over until Karl Malone scored 27 points as the Jazz beat Seattle 96-93 Friday night to win the best-of-five series 3-2.
''They were a good team throughout the rest of the series, so we feel very fortunate to win,'' Stockton said.
Next up for Utah is a rematch with Portland in the Western Conference semifinals. The Trail Blazers, who eliminated the Jazz in six games last season, will be home for Game 1 on Sunday.
The Jazz beat the Sonics by playing solid at both ends, bearing no resemblance to the fractured, bickering bunch that unraveled in the fourth quarter Wednesday night in Game 4 at Seattle.
In that game, Malone became embroiled in a shouting match with Gary Payton in the closing minutes. Malone was ejected after a technical foul, and Payton rubbed it in by hitting a meaningless 3-pointer at the buzzer.
''We talked before the game,'' said Payton, who scored 27 against the Jazz. ''Everybody just put it out of proportion. Me and Karl are competitors. Me and Karl are really tight. It wasn't anything really big.''
Jazz fans welcomed Payton by booing and chanting ''Ga-ry, Ga-ry'' almost every time he touched the ball.
Utah came out focused this time and maintained the intensity all night, even when Seattle trimmed a 13-point deficit to one several times in the fourth quarter.
Stockton hit two free throws with 9 seconds remaining to preserve the lead. He was fouled while saving a ball that was whizzed in his direction by Greg Ostertag.
''That was a little scary,'' Stockton said. ''I was just trying to keep it in play. He hummed it.''
Seattle closed to 94-93 when Payton flipped in a runner in the lane with 25 seconds to play. The Sonics got a final chance after Stockton's free throws, but Chuck Person's 3-point attempt bounced off the rim at the buzzer.
''I'd bet on him anytime,'' Seattle coach Paul Westphal said. ''He's a money shooter. He's made a lot of those in his career. He gave it a good ride and it just didn't go in.''
Bryon Russell scored 16 points for Utah and helped limit Payton to 27 after he scored 35 in Game 4. Jeff Hornacek scored 14 for the Jazz and extended his 14-year NBA career by at least a few more weeks.
Olden Polynice, aside from missing two late free throws, had a big game for the Jazz. He scored 13, including a three-point play with 5:41 remaining to give Utah an 86-83 lead and an emotional burst.
''That was the only way we were going to win, to get everyone involved,'' Polynice said. ''When we get away from a team concept, as we did the other night in Seattle, we're not going to win.''
But Polynice made it interesting. He kept the Sonics alive with 30.8 seconds remaining when, with the Jazz trying to extend a 94-91 lead, he missed two free throws -- shooting an airball on the second.
''I was mad at myself,'' Polynice said. ''I had the opportunity to seal it and I didn't capitalize.''
Rashard Lewis scored 20 points and Vin Baker 17 for the Sonics.
Notes: Utah coach Jerry Sloan passed Lenny Wilkens for sixth place on the NBA's career list with 73 playoff victories. Sloan moved into fifth on the list of playoffs games coached with 139, passing K.C. Jones. ... Malone exchanged words with some courtside Sonics fans after going after a loose ball late in the first half. One fan held Malone when he tried to get up. ... Jazz forward Adam Keefe missed the series after straining his right hamstring during warmups for Game 1.

JJ, so how am I off base for blaming everyone for this "mess"? First, no one came forward on their own and the entire matter remained hush-hush until the TRN got involved and printed the first story a week or so ago. It was then and only after public outcry continued to grow that the TRN did the next follow up story and by then the balloon had burst. I do not remember one person issuing any warnings about what would happen and I fail to see any statements today that indicated that any of these people did anything prior to the vote remotely looking like someone asking questions about the end result.
These same elected officials are always the first to tell us peons that ignorance of the law is no excuse. Well ignorance of what would happen once this plan was hatched is no excuse either.
These people are all elected to do a job for us, WE THE PEOPLE" and they work for us. Its not the other way around. They are responsible for their duties as public servants and they are responsible to us financially. But perhaps even more so they are responsible to us ethically, and I do not see very much ethical going on down there. Just two weeks ago we learned that the clown heading the local republican party had not even been required to pay the county what he owed two years ago. So why not? Is that doing a good job? Is that representing taxpayers? Is that looking out for our money?
So is King and Butler as guilty as Gossom, Wolfe and the commissioners? Probably not, but guilty just the same.
And yes, I agree there is something seriously wrong about Price and Brotherton keeping their mouth shut. Hey boys, I think its time to man up.

"She has her little step stool and climbs right up to help me," Jeremy Conner says of his young daughter, Cecile.
Conner has been executive chef at Village Café in River Ranch and its sister venture, POUR, for a little over a year now, yet his most finicky colleague can't even drive. At only 5 years old, Cecile already knows more about how to cook and order a steak ("I like it red, Daddy, lots of red!") than most adults. She helps him prepare everything he makes at home, clambering up to attempt to match her dad's height. To say he is used to women in the kitchen is an understatement — in his case, they are everywhere.

Village Café stands unique as the only fine dining restaurant in Lafayette with an all-female staff. You know that old joke about "get back in the kitchen!" as a presumably humorous dismissal of a woman? The history of fine dining never got that joke.
The story of women in fine cuisine is short because it is so recent. Gourmet dining was long considered the realm of men. Professional kitchens are hot and dirty in every way. You can substitute "swearing like a chef" for "sailor" and the meaning is clear. Working in 115 degrees with orders barked from every direction has a way of making a person testy, and it was thought only someone strong of arms and fortitude could make it, so women, with the exceptions being small bistros that are usually family-run, were left out in the cold of the front of the house, if they were working there at all.
Not at Village Café. It is unusual because its evening kitchen staff is made up entirely of women, save the gentleman chef mentioned here. This wasn't on purpose. "It just so happened that women started working there almost all at once," says Conner, who joined the restaurant's kitchen four years ago as chef de cuisine before being promoted to executive chef.
All three women are tied to Louisiana by birth or family. Shani Garber is Conner's sous chef (in fine dining parlance that means she is second-in-command in the kitchen — Conner's right hand [wo]man who takes over in his absence). "She has worked in several restaurants around town," Conner says. "I hired her after she was done working at Café Vermilionville. She's very good and has been here about two years now."
Mary Borden works the line. She came back to Louisiana after attending the Culinary Institute of America in New York and went on to some of the best, most exclusive restaurants around the country before coming to work at Village Café.
Finally there is Chanel Gaudé who also works the line. "Of all the positions in most kitchens," says Conner, "the grill is the hottest, the most demanding, the most requiring of attention. Traditionally this is the most stereotypically male position, very, very high volume." Jeremy equates this position to a barbecue pitmaster — that image most everyone gets of an old man at the grill.
He agrees it's been historically difficult for women in fine cuisine. "The type of person that is going to succeed in a professional kitchen has to be motivated, doesn't mind the heat, as long as they get to do what they dreamed of doing," Conner says. "That type of person gets rarer, and as that happens the gender means less and less."
Conner leans forward to tell me, without names, of the three good chef friends, all men, from around the country he contacted about his all-chick dinner staff. "One said, 'Great! You need some diversity so it's not a bunch of male egos battling each other.' One said, 'That's great, just be careful in case there are catfights.'" It is the last chef pal he consulted who summarizes nicely why Village Café's kitchen is unique. He told Conner quite simply and succinctly: "You're an idiot."
Consider that if you want to pretend it is not still a boy's club back there.
Despite this, Conner's take is the one we all have: "Can you work?" This is the only criterion that needs to be considered.
Heck, even Cecile knows that her place is in any kitchen — or any place she wants.

DEC 11 It's the holiday season, and that means you can count on seeing some pretty crazy stuff going down at the Wal-Mart, but this story out of Marshall, Texas takes the cake. A man went in and attacked a couple of people with a hatchet. Who stopped him? A customer who started launching soup cans at him -- and connected with his noggin. The story tells us that while some folk were injured, everyone's been released from the hospital.
DEC 11 Blogger Tom Aswell joins the ranks of those looking into the "Fund for Louisiana's Future," which of course is not really aimed at improving our future. So far, it seems aimed at getting Louisiana to remove its $100,000 cap on campaign contributions, he tells us. Also, it is overseen by the same guy who tried to give us President Mitt Romney -- and he seems bent on picking our next governor.
DEC 11 Here's a post on NOLA Defender from the chef de cuisine at Delmonico's about gumbo. Chef Anthony Scanio shares childhood food memories that aren't quite a warm and fuzzy cliche -- but they certainly sound authentic. His personal story isn't just about food, it's a true New Orleans boy's upbringing. It's a cool story, and it ends with recipes for seafood gumbo and red beans.
DEC 11 Blogger Lou Gehrig Burnett writes here on Bayou Buzz about GOP efforts to mount a candidate against Sen. Mary Landrieu -- "a" being the operative word. So far, Bill Cassidy and Rob Maness are both in the race, and as long as the ultra-conservative Maness remains he poses a threat to the Republicans' hopes to unseat Mary. There's also a bit on what's up in Texas -- where Gov. Rick Perry's rejection of Medicaid money is causing other lawmakers some trouble.
DEC 11 Qualifying for New Orleans municipal races opens today, and Gambit's Clancy DuBos is most interested in people running against Sheriff Marlin Gusman, a frequent topic of Clancy's posts -- and a lot of other media posts as well. So far, the most interesting candidate expected to qualify is former sheriff Charles Foti. But Gusman's biggest enemy may be himself, given his 33 percent approval rating.
DEC 11 It may be the season of brotherly love, but John Maginnis is not falling for David Vitter's Christmas story. In this post, he poo-poos the very idea that Vitter and his family will spend the holidays in prayerful reflection so that they can decide if the Senator will run for governor. He also gives some predictions on what could happen if Vitter did get elected, throwing in a cautionary reference to the big ole egg laid by the GOP up in North Louisiana's recent Congressional race.
DEC 11 Well, knock us over with a rainbow-colored feather. The Shreveport City Council passed an ordinance granting equal protection to LGBT folks, this KSLA story reports. It basically forbids discrimination against people based on their sexual orientation. According to the story, city workers already have had that protection, since 2009.
DEC 11 That nice lady over in Denham Springs must still be mad at her neighbors for stealing her dog, because she's back up on her roof, making a big ole "one finger salute" in Christmas lights. This story in the Advocate even gives us a picture of the process underway, in case you are experiencing a similar situation and would like some finger-display-creation tips.

Home > Press > ICON Issues Survey of Nanotechnology Practices Abstract: ICON Issues Survey of Nanotechnology PracticesHouston, TX | Posted on November 13, 2006
The first comprehensive, international survey of
workplace safety practices in the burgeoning nanotechnology industry finds
that many nanotech companies and laboratories believe nanoparticles �specks
of matter that are smaller than living cells � may pose specific
environmental and health risks for workers. In response, companies are
reporting that they are developing special programs and procedures for
mitigating risks to workers and consumers. Yet, due in part to a lack of
general information regarding nanomaterials risks, companies and labs have
workers using conventional environmental, health and safety (EHS) practices
when handling nanomaterials, even though the practices were developed to
deal with bulk materials that can have markedly different chemical
properties than their nano-sized counterparts.

Cigarette Makers Raise Prices by Average of 7.6%
The nation's largest cigarette makers, taking Wall Street by surprise, raised wholesale prices an average of 7.6 percent, which will translate into a 7-cents-a-pack gain in average retail prices.
The increase, believed to be the industry's largest single such move, is expected to bring in nearly $1.6 billion over the next 12 months. The money could be used for payments on settlements with Florida and Mississippi and one expected with Texas. $(Page A1.$)
Manufacturing Growth Eases
A purchasing managers group said its index of manufacturing activity fell, indicating slower growth. That dampened concerns about inflation and higher interest rates, sending the stock market soaring. $(D2.$)
Bonds rallied, too, trimming the 30-year Treasury yield to 6.55 percent from 6.60. $(D6.$)
Preussag to Buy Hapag-Lloyd
Preussag of Germany has agreed to buy Hapag-Lloyd for $1.5 billion, shifting its focus from coal and metals to shipping and the fast-growing tourism business. $(D4.$)

"Spicy whole jalapeno peppers are seeded, stuffed with a sweet and smoky cheese and pineapple filling with a hint of bacon, then baked until hot and bubbling. To keep the peppers standing upright while they bake, make a quick, disposable rack out of a foil bread pan."
