Weather Radio Safety program
Updated: 08/04/2011 -
It's that time of year where the Perseid Meteor Shower is ramping up and we're coming up on the peak viewing, which is tonight, tomorrow night and into early Sunday morning. **
The meteor shower started up late last night and will continue through early Monday morning, but the rate of meteors will remain under 20 per hour or less until the peak. The peak viewing will have the meteors streaking across the sky at the rate of 50-80 meteors per hour!
Now, random useless trivia for you here.. the earliest year that these meteors were noticed was 36AD, by observers in China. These meteors also show up in Chinese, Japanese and Korean historical records through the 9-11th centuries, so they have been around a very long time.
Courtesy: Meteorshowersonline
**These meteors are definitely worth a gander over the next few nights. The problem we run into is, what will the weather do to viewing conditions. The clouds will remain around the area tonight and early Saturday morning, and possibly again for Sunday early morning. Even worse, we're going into a Full Moon, so they will be VERY difficult to see!
Best viewing is OUTSIDE of the city limits and looking off to the north northeast. Best viewing will start as early as 11pm (which may be before the fog gets dense) and should continue through 4:30am the next several mornings.

Farmers blockade Morrisons depot in Bridgwater in milk price protest (From Yeovil Express)

Farmers blockade Morrisons depot in Bridgwater in milk price protest
Updated 12:47pm Friday 6th September 2013 in News
Enable automatic updates every 30 seconds? YES NO
MORE than 150 frustrated dairy farmers blockaded the Morrisons depot in Sedgemoor last night (September 5) to demand a fair price for milk.
Farmers for Action (FFA), the campaign group which led the blockade, said although they received a higher price-per-litre last year, they are now making a loss due to rises in the costs of production.
Just over 150 farmers with around 30 tractors and farm machinery swarmed the Morrisons depot at around 8pm and continued to block lorries from entering or leaving until around midnight.
Chairman of Farmers for Action, David Handley, handed over a letter at the blockade, destined for the head of Morrisons regional distribution, saying processors told FFA the company was refusing to pay better prices for milk and asking Morrisons where the money was going in the supply chain.
James Badman, Somerset coordinator for FFA, told the Mercury: "We have no problem with the staff, we're just trying to engage in negotiations.
"We have not received a response to the letter yet, but the sooner we do the better, or there may be another blockade.
"Other farmers from across the country are now considering taking action."
Mr Badman said payment to farmers also needs to be more in line with the rise and fall in the overall market and that currently, a rise in market profits takes too long to reach farmgate level.
He added: "On-farm costs have increased, but the marketplace is delivering an all time high level. Part of the agreement at the end of the SOS Dairy campaign last summer was that farmers received a fair share of the price, but we are still finding 2p-a-litre seems to be unaccounted for.
"Consumers are saying they would be prepared to pay more for milk, but that's not what we're asking. We just want a fair share of the cake - but right now, farmers feel they are being ripped off."
Meanwhile, a Morrisons spokesman said: "We buy the milk sold in our stores directly from a processor, who set the price received by the farmer for each litre they produce.
"The increases we have made in the amount we pay to processors since last summer have resulted in a rise of more than 4p per litre for farmers, bringing milk prices to their highest level in recent years."
AROUND 100 farmers with about 20 tractors have blockaded the huge Morrisons depot beside the M5 near Bridgwater.
The demonstration is in protest at the price supermarkets pay to buy milk from farmers.
They say the protest, which began at 8.15pm, will go on until midnight.
Farmers for Action say that although supermarkets are paying more than last year, farmers have been hit by increased production costs.
The group's chairman David Handley told the BBC: "We've been told by the processors that the company is refusing to pay better prices and we want to give the company the chance to respond."
Mr Handley has written to Morrisons and says farmers will mount a similar protest next week if the company fails to respond.
The BBC reported that Morrisons has not commented on the farmers' action.

She revealed: 'I was madly in love with him. I still am madly in love with him. All I can say about that relationship is that he's got a beautiful mind. 'Beautiful mind, tortured soul. I do have to figure out why I am attracted to these broken birds.'

LCSC adds Lewiston High product Knigge
Lewiston High School senior pitcher Tyler Knigge has signed a letter-of-intent to play for the Lewis-Clark State College baseball team, LCSC coach Ed Cheff has announced.
Knigge is the son of former LCSC standout Kent Knigge, who played for the Warriors in the 1980s.
The Knigges moved to Lewiston last year from Filer, where Tyler was a standout athlete at Filer High School. Tyler played for the Lewis-Clark Twins last summer and is a pitcher on the current Lewiston High team. Earlier this season, he threw a four-hitter in a 2-1 win over Borah of Boise.
"We believe he has a great upside and as he physically develops, he will become a quality pitcher for us," Cheff says. "He has a great mental make-up."
The LCSC roster currently has two Lewiston High products on its roster – junior first baseman Kyle Greene and freshman catcher Tyler Carson, who is redshirting this season.

The Uninvited Ombudsman Report
by Alan Korwin, Author
Gun Laws of America
August 30, 2006
1. Pluto Scientifically Demoted
2. Census Bureau Profiling
3. Minutemen Editorialized Again
4. Edible Viruses Approved
5. McCain's Whereabouts Denied
6. Theft Renamed Funding
7. Giant Oyster Invasion
8. Racial Strengths Ignored
9. Uranium Cookie Jar
The lamestream media told you:
Scientists meeting in Prague have decided that Pluto is not a planet, causing aggravation in the textbook industry and disappointing fans of the American-discovered celestial body. The results of their vote circulated the globe instantaneously, and were prominently reported by nearly every news agency on the planet.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
Science is not conducted by voting. Voting is a political process. The vote tallies were not reported.
Science is conducted by hypothesis subjected to testing and observation, an approach known as scientific method. Scientific method is taught in high schools.
The nationalities of the scientists voting for the losing candidate were not reported, and there was no call for a recount at press time. The L.A. Times reported only 10% of the 3,000 scientists voted, though the Houston Chronicle said the vote to dump Pluto was "overwhelming." Some reports said only 2,500 scientists attended. No margin of error was announced.
Detailed color images broadcast of "the planet formerly known as Pluto" were actually unlabeled computer animations, because good images of the distant body and its three moons don't exist. Deceptive use of images is widely accepted as unethical behavior.
According to the unnamed host of the David Letterman show, Pluto will be running as an independent in the next election.
The lamestream media told you:
The Census Bureau has released the first of what will now be annual reports, detailing huge demographic profiles of the American public. The Bureau had formerly released reports once every ten years.
According to spokespersons, local officials need such information so they can make important decisions on how to provide services and manage the affairs of the public.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
The Census exists solely because the Constitution requires a head count once every ten years, to apportion seats in Congress. In what may be the largest case of a self-generated government make-work project, the Bureau has decided to become the nation's annual demographer instead. Justifying the move by appealing to efficient management of the population doesn't excuse the wholesale expansion of the bureaucracy.
The lamestream media told you:
"The honeymoon is over for the Minutemen," according to the lead from Susan Carroll and Dennis Wagner, writing on page one for the 500,000 circulation Arizona Republic (8/11). The story details disagreements within the leadership, and raises financial questions that won't be answered until an audit is released in November.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
Leading a news story with flagrant editorializing is the height of unethical behavior under most editorial guidelines. The reporters are still at large.
Carroll's previous stories show a consistent distaste for the work of the group that single-handedly brought the tremendous problem of illegal immigration to public attention. Few chances to belittle or demean the efforts of the Minuteman volunteers were missed, with reporting that consistently downplayed the effects of a million or more people illegally flooding into the country every year.
In a related case (8/14), an extensive front-page examination of the crisis in hospital emergency rooms (by reporter Jodie Snyder) didn't once mention the illegals who are the core problem. Not once. She is still at large too. According to doctors and nurses suffering under the overload, illegals clog the buildings, can't pay, are not insured, seek routine care, and are bankrupting the system. Repeated calls for comment went unanswered.
The lamestream media told you:
The Associated Press reports that bacteria-killing viruses can be safely sprayed on cold cuts and other meats to combat microbes that kill hundreds of people a year. The virus mix has just received the first FDA approval for use on humans as a food additive, according to Andrew Zajac of the Office of Food Additive Safety.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
Despite government assurances, many people reportedly plan to wait a few years while public testing on humans is conducted at your local supermarket.
In other news, an unapproved variety of genetically engineered rice has accidentally slipped into the food chain, reports Rick Weiss in The Washington Post. Scientists have assured the public that even though it "is endowed with bacterial DNA to make it resistant to weed killer," and has not been fully approved, it is "probably safe."
Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns, after assuring the public that it's not a serious problem, said he doesn't know how the weed-killer-resistant rice got into the food supply, or how much is out there. The announcement may cost $1 billion in international sales, where many genetically engineered foods are banned, even if they are certified as just fine.
The lamestream media told you:
Senator John McCain, in hot water for bashing President Bush then quickly retracting his remarks, could not be reached for comment because he was traveling in Europe.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
The idea that a U.S Senator can't be reached because he's traveling in Europe insults the intelligence of news consumers, and we know it. Your grandmother can be reached while she's traveling in Europe, and a U.S. Senator can be reached anywhere, even the toilet, which is where "news" media credibility is heading with stories like this.
The lamestream media told you:
"When the federal government hands out billions of dollars to fund programs that assist the country's neediest residents, Phoenix gets the short end of the stick," according to Monica Dunsmoor, in a page-one Sunday lead story for Gannett's #2 paper, The Arizona Republic.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
When the federal government forces billions of dollars from the public through taxation, then gives it to other people, it violates every principle of the Constitution and the American Way, yet none of the perpetrators are arrested, and instead of sounding an alarm, mainstream reporters call for more "funding."
Charity is a private affair. The Constitution does not contemplate giving the treasury to any selected segment of the population.
Taking taxes from the public, so bureaucrats and reporters can promote "charity" is criminal misuse of the public treasury.
Reporters act as if welfare helps, but taking from those who earn money and giving it to those who do not will never end poverty. Wealth redistribution is a proven failure — the socialist opposite of the American Dream that created the prosperity in the first place. It creates hopeless dependency. When the money runs out, Dunsmoorian economics says take more, forever.
The public, inundated with Dunsmoorian sobbing, accept their welfare slavery with the same ignorance guiding reporters.
Instead, try reduce taxes by the amount "stolen for charity." That economic impact would alleviate more poverty than any theft-and-redistribution program misguided do-gooders can invent.
We should indict a few of the scoundrels to chill other public thieves, and editors promoting socialism should rethink their values and hiring guidelines.
[Note: This commentary ran in the 500K circ Az Rep on 8/30/06.]
The lamestream media told you:
Giant exotic oysters have been found in San Francisco bay, according to a story with no byline from the Associated Press. This has caused grave concerns among environmentalists who fear the invasive species could have adverse effects on native oyster species and upset the natural ecological balance in the bay. Up to nine inches long, divers have removed 256 of the exotic mollusks so far. It's unclear how they got there, or how many are left.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
Migration and survival of the fittest are basic features of the theory of evolution, but as soon as a hardy species of anything shows up at someone's doorstep, envirophiles get overcooked about "invasive species." Hey, you either accept nature with all its warts, or need to admit that this branch of environmentalism is a corrupt system of affirmative action for favored organisms, driven by junk science and an illogical misguided sympathy for one animal over another animal.
The lamestream media told you:
Mexican-Americans are at an increased risk of a second stroke, according to a study of thousands of stroke patients, reports the "Annals of Neurology." Lead researcher Lynda Lisabeth of the U. of Michigan School of Public Health suggests aggressive preventative treatment for the susceptible group, to help save lives.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
Despite constant, repeatable and undeniable evidence of important differences between the races, discussion of the differences is taboo and banned from lamestream news reports, with the sole exception of medical risks. The numbers of people harmed by the policy is unknown.
Blacks are susceptible to sickle-cell anemia, whites have higher incidence of melanoma, Alzheimer's and heart disease, and some Native American tribes suffer high rates of diabetes. A long list of race-dependent maladies is widely known throughout the medical community, and frequently reported in the "news."
Regardless, other glaringly obvious racial differences are ignored or quickly denounced as racism, preventing any meaningful discussion of the subject in public policy debates.
Experts blame the ignorance-perpetuating effects of both political correctness and multiculturalism for any meaningful examination of diverse advantages races have in strength, speed, endurance, size, resistance to maladies, and most of all, intelligence.
The white ruling class in America has repressed blacks so badly that most people with even a trace of black blood feel compelled to identify themselves strictly as black, and overlook any advantages of mixed heritage they may possess. The word "mulatto," commonly used for decades to refer to a person of mixed heritage, and which might help explore advantages of diversity in the population, has fallen out of favor and has been all but banished from "news" reports nationwide.
Absolute or monolithic classifications such as "black" or "white," which are patently inaccurate but not considered offensive, are now used exclusively instead. The effect this has on the quality or safety of medical care is unknown.
The online Urban Dictionary defines mulatto as "half black, half white," and gives actress Halle Berry as an example. The Merriam Webster's defines the word as, 1 : the first-generation offspring of a black person and a white person, and 2 : a person of mixed white and black ancestry. Bringing any of this up in public tends to lead to intolerance and charges of racism or worse.
The lamestream media told you:
Iranian leader Ahmadinejad, who advocates wiping Israel off the map, has challenged President Bush to a televised debate. He is also not comfortable yet with proposals to stop his nuclear energy program, even under the threat of U.N. sanctions.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
Regarding the ongoing threat of sanctions against Iran, one high ranking unidentifiable source asks, "Why implement sanctions and cause grief and suffering, when you can just threaten sanctions and harm no one?"
Meanwhile, the simple Iranian plan to stall all international forces aligned against it, while filling a specially made cookie jar with fissionable uranium for atom bombs, is working.
Corrections and Clarifications:
1. A number of Page Nine readers objected to singling out the supporters of a $1 million lottery for coercing voters to the polls. Fortunately, the Uninvited Ombudsman had significant lamestream support on that one: "A tawdry idea that cheapens one of the most important things a citizen can do." (USA Today); "We can only hope voters in Arizona won't fall for such a gimmick." (Denver Post); "This is a direct assault on the notion that good citizenship should entail at least a small amount of self-motivation." (Washington Times); and from syndicated columnist Jeff Jacoby, "Those who don't care shouldn't vote."
2. Although most reports didn't mention the kind of liquid explosives terrorists intended to use, so terrorists planning to blow up planes couldn't get the information, one expert believes it was TATP, a mixture of peroxide and acetone. "Very easy to make if you know what you're doing, and pretty much undetectable." Another reader notes that the Washington Post says you need "super" peroxide, like the kind in drugstores for bleaching hair, and acetone, about $8 a gallon at Home Depot. Becomes unstable as soon as mixed, an instant explosive. Don't tell anyone.
3. The Border Patrol estimates it captures one illegal alien for each one that slips through (about 2,500 per day). On their last watch, 75 Minutemen observed 22 presumed illegals hiking in through the desert, of which only two were caught.
4. Stories about deliberate news fraud abound, in addition to the sort of distortion and spin exposed in Page Nine. Try this if you have doubts:
5. Page Nine suggested no one won in south Lebanon. Barrett Tillman disagrees: "Alan, just my two centavos. I think that Hezbollah won a clear victory. The Hezzies are still there, still armed, and (omigod!) the UN is totally ineffective. I guess Dubya's handlers felt obliged to say that Israel won, but its politicians merely pulled the plug and declared victory. At any rate, the Muslims took on the IDF and at worst fought the contest to a draw. That's a win in the Muslim playbook. They're like the Terminator. They'll be back. With bigger toys next time."
Plain Ole Observation:
One of the big shocks early in my writing career was learning that newspaper editors would change my work to make it sound more credible. They did this by adding phrases like, "according to industry experts" at strategic spots. One story on the book business added those phrases four times — to observations that were strictly my own — and changed nothing else. I started noticing those bogus "believability suppositories" (BS) liberally sprinkled all over the news, and you should keep an eye out for BS too:
according to industry experts
industry leaders acknowledge
it's widely believed that
experts generally agree that
according to official sources
it will soon be common knowledge that
those in the industry say
many leaders agree that
it's common knowledge that
you may not believe this but
people generally believe that
it's been said that
a new idea going around suggests that
people are saying
people are beginning to say
pundits claim
insiders say
one observer has said
business gurus are telling us that
according to The New York Times
he said that she said that they said
See the official Society of Professional Journalists Code of Ethics here.
Compare it to the news you see every day.

Po-Moing the Pointy-Eared
Over the weekend, I read Brandon Sanderson's essay Postmodernism in Fantasy. The gist of the essay is this: Sanderson started out trying to write fantasy that had a new twist but in the end just wrote what he liked. While being fresh and thinking out of the box might expand the genre, it may also alienate readers. A postmodern take of fantasy will only end up relying too heavily on the original fantasy in the first place and will fail to stand alone as a work.
As a writer, I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with trying to write postmodern fantasy and subvert all the well-known tropes. If a writer wants to construct something that they consider different, then they can have at it. There is no correct way to write a book nor is there a correct reason for anyone to write a book. But as a reader, there's definitely a difference between a story that succeeds and a story that fails even though everything else looks technically correct. That's because the reader acts more like an ice cream taster than the visiting food inspector. The inspector doesn't care what flavors the ice cream parlor carries as long as everything is sanitary. However, the chocolate-loving customer would come away dissatisfied if all the parlor carried were weird, unappetizing flavors like mahi mahi, pickle, and cream of mushroom. So too will most fantasy readers react in this way. They might marvel at the construction of a cream of mushroom fantasy with all its literary po-mo trappings, but what they'd really prefer is the chocolate.
The real difference is not the dichotomy of postmodern versus traditional but rather the intellectual versus the emotional. Yes, yes, pretty much every non-romance writer (and reader) tries to ignore the dreaded "E" word, but there it is. When people pick up a genre fiction book to read, no one expects to be intellectually stimulated. Well, they could be and readers aren't an unintelligent bunch (generally), but that is not anyone's expectation. What they do expect is good storytelling with some emotional payoff. A story that makes one think but leaves one cold is not going to have the same impact as something that gives the reader a gut feeling of satisfaction. By the same token, then, why can't writers write something that is emotionally satisfying rather than the intellectual equivalent of throwing everything and the kitchen sink into the ice cream maker just to create something new?
I find that throwing oneself completely into one direction or another is a dangerous path to take. Writing the same thing over and over again without any intellectual challenge in an attempt to fulfill some emotional need is a quick way to kill the enthusiasm of the writer and the reader. There has to be some sort of compromise between the intellectual and the emotional. If it's only intellectual, people will only recall it as something difficult and unpleasant to read. If it's only emotional, the readers might be happy but with nothing to engage the mind, it may be easily forgotten. Successful books, for me at least, contain healthy doses of both these elements.

Booq Boa Flow M Laptop Backpack Review
Filed under: Gadgets
Brands like Booq do their homework before releasing items into the market. It isn't that their products are perfect, but rather that when you uses them you genuinely feel that thought was put into their design and function. I've owned an assortment of their products, and am continually impressed by the experience. My newest Booq is the Boa Flow laptop computer carrying backpack. It comes in a few sizes and I have the "M' (medium model). There is a larger model that will fit more stuff, but is mostly meant to house large sized (17 inch screen and a bit above) notebook computers. One this I really like about the Booq Boa Flow is that it is able to hold other stuff as well. Booq has designed in a bunch of other large and small pockets and cargo areas. Some of these are quite dedicated. Such as for cables, water bottles, umbrellas, cameras, and other items. Despite the medium size, I can carry my 15 inch notebook computer, a host of cables, some pens and other stationary, an iPad, a few magazines, umbrella, and some documents - all with comfortable room for more. The Boa Flow is even an improvement organizationally from their previous Python model. Materials wise Booq only uses fine ballistic nylon, sturdy zippers, and other quality materials. The designs of their stuff looks really cool as well. Not too dorky, but certainly futuristic enough to impress people. Plus, that black with orange trim is a great looking motif. Some of the materials are a bit scratchy, but don't really affect the wearing experience that much. This includes the orange mesh material on the back part of the bag. Again, that doesn't affect you unless you are wearing the bag without a shirt on.

Here is an adorable way to turn your everyday reed diffuser bottle into a festive holiday piece! The gorgeous glass Jack-O-Lantern will brighten up a room while filling the air with a wonderful aroma!
- Reed Diffuser Bottle (our example used Amber Diffuser Bottle)
- Reed Diffuser Sticks (our example used Black Reed Diffuser Sticks)
- Enhanced Reed Diffuser Oil Base
- Fragrance Oil (our example used Pumpkin Souffle Fragrance Oil)
- Paper
- Black Permanent Marker
- Scissors
- Tape
- Using the Permanent Marker, draw the face of the jack-o-lantern on the piece of Paper. Be creative as you can!
- Cut the eyes, nose, and/or mouth out of the Paper.
- Fold over small pieces of Tape and adhere to the back of the eyes, nose, and/or mouth. (This will ensure you can use the reed diffuser again even after the holiday!)
- Adhere the jack-o-lantern's face to the Reed Diffuser Bottle.
- Fill the Reed Diffuser Bottle 3/4 of the way with a mixture of Fragrance Oil and Reed Diffuser Base. (Normal mix ratios are between 20% to 40% Fragrance Oil and 60% to 80% Reed Diffuser Base.)
- Place 10-12 Reed Diffusers into the Bottle.
- The Reeds will wick the Fragrance up and release the beautiful scent into the air!
Creative Tips:
- We simply used paper and marker for the face. Felt, Adhesive Velvet, Vinyl, Foam Pieces, etcetera are all wonderful alternatives for a professional looking Scented Jack-O-Lantern.
- If you want a permanent Scented Jack-O-Lantern that you can use every Halloween you can securely glue the pumpkin's face onto the glass reed diffuser bottle.
- You don't have to use a pumpkin scented fragrance just because it's a Jack-O-Lantern. Try any of our Autumn fragrance oils! For example: Autumn Splendor, Brandied Pear, Fall Foliage, or Warm Apple Crisp.
- If you're allergic to scents, skip the scented diffuser base and reeds, just decorate the reed diffuser bottle with a spooky Jack-O-Lantern face. After Halloween, take the face off and the colored bottle can then be used as household decor!

Steve Knightley and Phil Beer are widely acknowledged as the finest acoustic roots duo in England. Knightley, who writes most of their inspired material and Beer, a dazzling multi instrumentalist, have built up a huge following which has seen them sell out the Albert Hall four times and headline at major festivals from Glastonbury to WOMAD.
Voted Best Duo in the 2010 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards ( as well as clinching Best Original Song for Knightley's acclaimed Arrogance Ignorance and Greed) the jury is still out on just what kind of music they play. A genre defying mix of rock, roots, blues, country, trad, and often influenced by the music of other countries, it is played out on an array of instruments from slide guitar to fiddle, mandolin to South American cuatro.

Experts urge stronger action to combat wildlife crime
Bangkok, 5 October 2004 – Representatives of an international group of law enforcement experts attending the ongoing meeting of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) will present their conclusions (today/tomorrow) about the threats posed by wildlife criminals to the survival of numerous plants and animals.Experts urge stronger action to combat wildlife crime
Consisting of 20 officials from national CITES Management Authorities, the CITES Tiger Enforcement Task Force, customs authorities, fishery protection authorities, intelligence agencies, the Interpol Wildlife Crime Working Group, the Lusaka Agreement Task Force police and prosecution and wildlife authorities from around the world, the group was tasked by CITES in 2002 to study how effectively the Convention is being enforced and to make recommendations for improvements.
The group's results make depressing reading:
"We are in danger of losing the war against wildlife crime, especially for some very rare animals and plants, unless modern professional law enforcement techniques are directed against criminals who care for nothing but profit, who exploit some of the world's poorest communities and take advantage of periods of civil unrest and instability," said CITES Secretary-General Willem Wijnstekers.
The conference will also hear about successes in the field of wildlife law enforcement. The Secretary-General of CITES has implemented a Certificate of Commendation to recognize some of the more exemplary enforcement actions. Since 2002, the Certificate has been awarded to:
The illegal trade in wildlife remains the second greatest threat to the world's endangered species after habitat destruction. Many wildlife smugglers deal in products that are worth more, per kilo, than cocaine or heroin. Shawls made from the fine wool of the Tibetan antelope, for example, can cost over USD 15,000 each. The caviar trade is infested with organized crime networks.
"Senior enforcement officials seldom attend CITES meetings, and wildlife crime is rarely discussed at international conferences on crime. This must change," said Mr. Wijnstekers.
"There is a great deal of excellent work taking place around the world, but it is simply not enough. I hope that Bangkok will see a real commitment from countries to engage with us more energetically in the constant battle against wildlife criminals," he said.
Note to journalists: For more information, contact Juan-Carlos Vasquez at 229-3040 (Media Center - QSNCC) or +41-79-378-6540 (cell), email@example.com, or Michael Williams at 04-098-7621 (cell) or 229-3042 (office), or email@example.com. The relevant document (CoP13 Doc.23) will be examined in Committee II under agenda item 23 and is available at www.cites.org.

Fair Game
It's August, the time when many Vermonters pack up and hit the road to enjoy what's left of summer.
Undaunted by a tanking economy and near $4-per-gallon gas, my family headed to Acadia National Park for a weeklong camping trip. Early August on Mount Desert Island usually means sun, and lots of it. But the coast of Maine has been hit with the same rainy weather that Vermont has. Still, we managed to soak up a few rays between the raindrops.
In between drying off after hiking, tide-pool exploring and hanging out at the island's sandy beach, I had a chance to catch up on my summer reading.
I plowed through Michael Pollan's In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto, a quick read about how our sense of "good food" has been corrupted by scientists and nutritionists. I followed up with Kurt Vonnegut's Armageddon in Retrospect, a posthumous collection of essays on war and peace based on Vonnegut's own experiences as a prisoner of war during World War II. Vonnegut thought the invasion of Iraq was a big mistake and it weighed on him mightily, according to the book's introduction by his son, Mark Vonnegut.
I also had a chance to dart through Neil Gaiman's eerie and peculiar children's tale Coraline. I've been a Gaiman fan since his Sandman days, and he's always good for an unnerving read.
I forgot to pack my summertime favorite, VALIS by Philip K. Dick, which I usually read every year. But with the rain continuing to fall, something tells me I'll still have time to get to it.
But, hey, enough about me. What'd I miss when I was away?
Vermont Yankee — Apparently, nothing broke down at the state's lone nuclear power plant last week, which is itself news these days. And the legislative oversight panel empowered to make sure the plant is reliable to operate another 20 years is no closer to doing its job, thanks to Gov. Jim Douglas' Department of Public Service.
Kind of like suiting up for the game and being seated in the bleachers.
Governor's Race — House Speaker and Democrat gubernatorial candidate Gaye Symington released a radio ad! OK, not such a big deal.
Progressive-turned-Independent Anthony Pollina is still in the race, which is news given his dismal fundraising, the hobbling Vermont Milk Company he abandoned and the general malaise he's imparted upon the old "unite the left" brigade.
Douglas managed to avoid any major criticism, although the judiciary hearing focusing on his Corrections Department's decision to let Michael Jacques — the man accused of kidnapping 12-year-old Brooke Bennett, later found dead — off probation made clear the case represents a combined failure of tragic proportions.
More Layers in Winooski — I told you it would be a long, hot summer in Winooski.
Three City Council members (the other two refused to go into a closed-door executive session) voted to launch an investigation of City Manager Joshua Handverger, who only a week earlier had barely hung onto his job by a 3-2 council vote. The councilors believe Handverger may be creating a hostile work environment for some city employees.
The embattled manager recently overruled a suspension of Police Detective Jason Nokes, a union steward who testified against his boss, Chief Steve McQueen, during public hearings held earlier this year. In emails with Nokes, Handverger disparaged McQueen (shocking!). McQueen took similar actions against a police officer who raised complaints about the chief back in 2003. The officer ended up filing two unfair labor practice claims against Winooski.
So much for this tiresome flap going away. Instead, Winooski appears doomed to repeat the past.
Full Disclosure — Politics never takes a holiday, but the good thing for politicians is that much of the public does, on occasion.
News that can cripple a campaign in the fall tends to get less attention in the summer. Still, campaigns like to take every opportunity to see what will stick against an opponent.
Enter the tiny matter of Vermont's gubernatorial candidates releasing their personal financial information, including shared assets and tax returns.
Republican incumbent Douglas listed about $2 million in assets he shares with his wife — cars, houses, retirement accounts, etc. — while Independent Pollina listed $656,000 in shared assets. Both reported six-figure investment and retirement accounts, and both reported receiving federal tax refunds in 2007. Pollina got back more than $2500, while Douglas netted $614.
Neither gave to the presidential election fund. (Funny, I thought Pollina supported the public financing of elections.)
Symington's release has confounded her opponents and the media. She released "pro forma" tax returns (that is, returns that merely looked like real ones), along with a cover sheet that shows her share of various assets at $373,222.
Absent from the documents were the assets of her husband, Chuck Lacy, a former president and CEO at Ben & Jerry's. Lacy is now the president of the $5-plus million Barred Rock Fund, a nonprofit venture firm he and Ben Cohen started. According to the fund's 990 tax forms from 2002-04, Lacy took in roughly $100K a year as the organization's president.
Lacy moved his family to Vermont to run Cohen and Jerry Greenfield's legendary ice cream company, earning a six-figure salary (about $150,000, since they capped their top executive pay at the time), and plenty of stock options. Lacy led the company when it was privately held and raking in $150 million a year.
Everyone knows that he — along with other top execs at Ben & Jerry's who left after Unilever took over — walked away with cold cash and a lifetime supply of ice cream.
But instead of his business acumen or the wealth he's probably shared with Symington and their kids, the current story has become all about Lacy's absence, and his money, from the asset-reporting picture.
On Monday, Douglas' campaign manager Dennise Casey called on Symington to pledge not to use her family's undisclosed wealth to finance her campaign until she, well, discloses it. "Speaker Symington has chosen to hide information about her assets and financial dealings using made-up tax documents meant to deceive Vermonters," Casey said in a statement. "Until she comes clean with a complete financial disclosure, she should pledge not to use that money to fund her campaign."
Casey's got one thing right — the documents Symington released are a joke. They raise more questions than they answer, and she should clear the air sooner rather than later. She's constantly said she's the one running for public office, not her husband. True enough. She could have released a joint statement of assets and not released the tax documents to protect Lacy's privacy. As it is, it's never good in politics when you look as if you're hiding something.
It's amusing to see a big deal being made out of Lacy's perceived wealth. Quite frankly, if the guy's done that well, he may be a good influence on her in terms of jump-starting the economy.
The GOP may want to be careful with this meme, though. In 2006, Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie flatly refused to divulge his finances. Democratic challenger Matt Dunne urged Dubie to follow the Douglas standard, and he would do the same. No dice. That same year, Rich Tarrant, the GOP's candidate in the 2006 U.S. Senate race, so the story went, embodied the entrepreneurial spirit needed in politics, rather than the stale beliefs of a lifelong politician who had never held a "real" job, as symbolized by then Rep. Bernie Sanders.
So, which of the candidates running for governor has been suckling at the public teat for 30-plus years and has never held a private-sector job or had to make payroll?
Answer: the incumbent.
Douglas: The Most Vulnerable Republican — Human Events touts itself as former Pres. Ronald Reagan's "favorite newspaper" (we're guessing they mean when the Gipper was alive and cogent). The conservative rag also believes the gubernatorial race in Vermont is among the nation's most exciting.
In a recent rundown of the tight races around the country, here's what Human Events had to say about Vermont: "Gov. Jim Douglas (R) may have been the Republican rooting hardest for Sen. Hillary Clinton (D) in the presidential primaries. This liberal-filled state will likely see record-high turnout this November thanks to Obama's presence on the ballot. This will help State House Speaker Gaye Symington (D)."
Dubbing the race "Leaning Republican Retention," the mag noted how Pollina's entrance into the race would benefit Douglas, but still felt compelled to call him "perhaps the most vulnerable incumbent governor in 2008."
Only leaning? Yikes. Maybe they've seen poll numbers we haven't.
No one's leaked any poll numbers yet, but according to what we've heard through the grapevine, a poll earlier this summer had Pollina in the single digits; Symington in the high 30s (holding the Democratic base, but not too well known beyond that); and Douglas in the 50s, but vulnerable on some key issues.
Of course, being vulnerable on key Democratic issues has never stopped Douglas from getting re-elected. What he does right is not make mistakes —not big ones and not the little ones that can snowball. It's hard to catch his crew fucking up in the way that loses voter trust.
Still, Douglas takes few risks and doesn't lead from the head of the pack. Symington hopes to capitalize on that weakness, and a flagging economy, to bring home the Democratic and independent flocks that roosted with Douglas after Dean fled the coop.
Pollina can rouse a crowd, but it's mostly the Kool-Aid drinkers and a few converts. Let's face it, he's no Bernie — though he aspires to be a Bernie when he grows up. Well, if he grows up.
And, Bernie is now very much part of the Democratic establishment, stumping for the party's presidential candidate and speaking at award dinners. How times have changed for the man who bounced Burlington Democrats out of City Hall and helped usher in the era of Progressive politics.
Who's Least Like Bush? — Speaking of Sen. Sanders, CQ issued its annual rankings on which members of Congress most voted with Pres. George W. Bush. It should come as no surprise that Vermont's delegation ranked pretty low overall.
Out of 97 votes in the Senate in which the president took a position, Sanders only voted with Bush 33 percent of the time — right near the bottom (or top, if you prefer) of his class. Sen. Patrick Leahy, a Democrat, voted with Bush 35 percent of the time, while Rep. Peter Welch voted with the president just 5 percent of the time.
The presumptive Democratic nominee for president, Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL), voted with Bush 40 percent of the time in 2007, down from 49 percent in 2006. So much for Sen. John McCain's claim that Obama votes to the left of Sanders.
As for McCain, according to CQ, the Republican from Arizona voted with Bush 95 percent of the time in 2007 — up from 89 percent in 2006.
What a maverick.

The Blues brought in Samuel Eto'o from Anzhi Makhachkala after failing to land Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney, but Lukaku's departure leaves Fernando Torres, Demba Ba and now Eto'o as Mourinho's only out-and-out centre forward options.
However, the Blues also brought in Willian, Marco van Ginkel and Andre Schurrle over the summer, and Mourinho feels such strength in depth will serve Chelsea well.
Speaking to Chelsea TV, he said: "We have that (balance in the squad). We have two players per position, with three strikers and an extra midfield player.
"Every position is covered and we are very happy with what we have."
On Eto'o, Mourinho said: "Samuel is a very experienced striker as everybody knows and a winner.
"He is a guy who in spite of winning everything, he never lost his desire to win.
"Samuel comes to England with the same objective with which I went to Spain - he wants to be the first one to win the Spanish, the Italian and the English league as a player. He always wanted to play in the Premier League so he comes with big motivation.
"He is different from (Fernando) Torres; Torres is different from (Demba) Ba and Ba is different from Eto'o, so we have in these three strikers experience and different qualities. Hopefully it goes well."
Willian could also have signed for Tottenham before Chelsea's late move.
Mourinho is in no doubt the player will bring something different to his line-up.
The Blues boss added: "Willian is a creative player and for his qualities, I think he needs a bit of time to express himself.
"He is very creative, fast and dynamic and can play in all three positions behind the striker.
"Again he is a kid that wanted very much to play for Chelsea and he was too many years in Ukraine and in Russia and now he has his first chance to be in a big championship."
Chelsea have just half-a-dozen English players in the 25-man squad lists for the Premier League and the Champions League which were confirmed on Thursday, with Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole and John Terry no longer at the start of their careers.
Mourinho, who returned to the Stamford Bridge club this summer, sees no reason why Chelsea cannot continue to bring their own talent through the Academy.
"I like that. Of course you can without English players, but I like to have at least a little core of English players," Mourinho said in an interview with the official Chelsea Magazine.
"If possible - and we have to work for it - I would like to have a little core of English players made in Chelsea Football Club, starting here since young boys. I think a club needs that culture as well.
"The other guys in the Academy, I am starting to know them now. I watch them train; I trained with them and I watched them play.
"So I start knowing these guys and as I said before, it's not just important to have English players, but also to have players made in this club who learn what it means to be Chelsea.
"They are in our plans and the club is making an investment in them."

Should your ring in the new year by investing in gold fell big time today by more than 25 dollars an -- trading well below 17100 dollars.
What report out today even suggest that the precious metal will slumped to 12100.
Dollars by the end of next -- but our next -- Sees it jumping in 2013.
Even says gold is one of his top picks steel vine investments founder.
Chief investment officer Spencer -- joins us now spreads are great to see yet.
Listen I've I've noted -- long enough to know that you're right more often -- Iran but let me just paid out this.
Gold 12100 dollar scenario for your for second you get your reaction that this is how it works they say one the fiscal cliff doesn't happen it looks like it may have -- something today lord knows too.
Hedge fund captures a lot of hedge fund cash it's been on on the sidelines once a fiscal cliff is -- that money's gonna come into the stock market.
Three that will lead the Fed to be less money printing -- they have been so they'll they'll pull back a little for China.
And India will unload it a lot of their goal because they're gonna wanted to have the cash to build their infrastructure.
And finally President Obama will realize the tax bonanza from -- oil and shell gas.
And therefore lift off the -- have of those two things to the point where we have a lot more oil and gas committed all those things.
Bring us down to gold at 12100 how do you react.
While that that's a really incredible run down but there's one interesting thing that I think will -- knock a hole in the whole theory.
Is that the -- has tied interest rate policy.
To that amount of unemployment that we haven't asked to be at six point 5%.
And what that means is that you're going to get.
Low interest rates that are very bullish for gold and will lead to inflation coming down the road endless money printing.
It doesn't have anything to do with the other parts that we mentioned here west you know with China and all the rest it's going to be tied to getting jobs created.
And and none of those things that they the author mentioned.
I'd create any jobs so well -- Hi there that the one thing that might create jobs is all this money in the sidelines if that money does begin to come in and again.
The one thing that the Fed is assured us is that interest rates are gonna be low at least for the first part of next year which means nobody's gonna get returns.
You're gonna have to go somewhere probably they'll go and a market.
That might revise -- give a lot more capital to companies to expand it may be hire people.
I think it very well could generate a little bit of growth for the economy but I also think that -- hedge funds bring in cash running one myself.
Gold is an investment allocation that makes a lot of sense for hedge funds so I think that if you know that that the gold theory could really benefit that.
As money flows into the market you'll see that from individual investors as well once they get more discretionary income.
And they are fearful of their dollar losing value they'll start buying in the things like gold and silver.
I'm in order for gold to get to 12100 dollars an ounce and I think you'd have to have a deflationary collapse which would be.
I catastrophic I I I think the lowest that I can imagine gold being as at 1550.
At the bottom but I I think will be visiting 202013.
OK and by the way I don't buy into this -- and I gotta say this.
What this theory doesn't take into account as to what Japan has just decided to -- -- to print even more money that were turning right now more yet so there's a whole lot of money pretty going on all over the world.
Well there are a couple of price targets are you mention one with 5050 be kind of the lowest of the low.
But I -- 1662.
With 1640.
Per ounce those two price points are very important to by NY.
Yeah I think what you see on the chart of gold as you see it going sideways -- a trading range and this is really beneficial for gold because a lot of times what happens as you'll see prices go up and then you'll see them consolidate and then you'll see them break out of that range and we've been and that type of trend for gold if you look historically for more than ten years gold has been a very safe investment but you do have some volatile ranges that you can see gold earlier this year we saw a move more than a hundred dollars an ounce -- -- single day.
So I think that once you get further down you start seeing how much buying interest there as.
I but I think that we'll start seeing by an interest in the sixteen hundreds I don't -- -- that will make it down 1640.
Especially as we get this fiscal cliff I resolved I think it's going to be the biggest Y two K type thing ever I don't think the fiscal -- is going to be a big deal at all will get a little bit more confidence back the economy OK and we'll see gold prices -- are very quickly other commodities copper that's directly related to to GDP growth around the world how do you see copper going.
You know I don't have any overly optimistic feeling towards copper I don't think it's something to sell right now I don't think it's something to -- I'm instead I would look at something like our Bob gasoline gasoline prices are as low as they've been and a year.
I will start moving in the seasonally stronger period so by gasoline it's cheap right now -- not necessarily copper.
OK Spencer by the way we've got John take 1550 is the lowest possible price -- -- gonna go in 2013.
We'll bring you out if it goes lower do you mind a look at that absolutely bring -- Spencer Pratt and steel -- investments founder great to see it spends thanks very much play you.

I'm not sure I've totally changed my mind- the sourness still bugs me a bit here, but on a not day I can see the point. I'd still like it more if it were a bit more traditional for the style. As always I love the tallboy cans, just wish I liked what was inside a bit more. Serving type: can 10-13-2013 17:28:34 | More by Georgiabeer kojevergasTexas 2.81/5 rDev -27.2% look: 3 | smell: 2.75 | taste: 2.75 | feel: 2.75 | overall: 3 473ml/16 fl oz aluminum can with stylish well laid out label art acquired as part of a 4 pack at Twin Liquors and served into an Independence Brewing pilsner glass in me gaff in low altitude Austin, Texas. Reviewed live. Expectations are average; I've never had a beer from this brewery before. 5.2% ABV confirmed. 11 IBU. 3.7 SRM. Served cold - straight from me fridge. Side-poured with standard vigor as no carbonation issues are anticipated. A: No bubble show forms as I pour. Pours a three finger wide head of beige colour. Decent thickness and creaminess. Complexion could be softer. No lacing clings to the sides of the glass as the head recedes. Head retention is good - about 3-4 minutes. I'd like a bit more froth given the style. Body colour is a clear translucent yellow copper of above average vibrance. No yeast particles are visible. Sm: Buttery (diacetyl?) and creamy, with an untoward sweetness. Maybe even a hint of vanilla/creme brulee. Wheat. Dirty orange fruit; this is not the refreshing orange peel you'd want in a proper kristalweizen. Banana and clove. It comes off artificial, as though brewed with extract. I'm really concerned; this misses the mark for the style. Banana is dominant. I'm not getting any complex yeasty notes, and it doesn't seem to have fermented all that cleanly. Hopping is floral in character, with some light fruitiness as well, and has minimal presence. No alcohol is detectable. An off-putting aroma of above average strength. T: The wheat body doesn't feel fresh at all, and is eclipsed by a layer of artificial sweetness; boy is this not traditional. I get some doughy yeast - which is unbecoming. Clove, banana, sweet maltiness. Candy floss/bubblegum. Maybe even lime? Unwelcome vanilla and accompanying sweetness. It's not quite cloying, but it's far from well balanced. Some vague apple and orange fruit notes. Hop presence is minimal and contributes little except for generic floral and fruity notes. Built poorly for a kristalweizen. Subpar depth of flavour. Average duration and intensity of flavour. No alcohol comes through. The yeast-derived notes (banana and clove) are subdued, and the beer lacks both complexity and a clean feel. Zero subtlety and nuance here. Mf: Smooth and wet. Weak, lacking presence. Buttery. Not full-bodied. Mouthfeel doesn't suit the flavour profile or the style particularly well. Overcarbonated, but it has none of the clean crispness found in the best examples of the style. Unrefreshing - a crucial mis-step for a kristalweizen. Not oily, gushed, boozy, harsh, or hot. Dr: I'm rather disappointed. This is pretty mediocre stuff. They even got the wheat note wrong. As an introduction to Sixpoint, it's discouraging me from wanting to try their other offerings. I wouldn't buy this again; it's a pretty subpar kristalweizen. Not sure quite what they were going for with this. I'm shocked at its current high ratings. Though it's a poor beer in the style, if you disregard styles altogether and just view it as a beer, it's of average quality. If we're being comparative, it don't hold a candle to New Glarus' offering. C Serving type: can 09-26-2013 01:38:00 | More by kojevergas |

Abstract: The twigs of Dorstenia barteri var. subtriangularis yielded three diprenylated chalcones: ( )-3-(3,3-dimethylallyl)-50-(2-hydroxy-3- methylbut-3-enyl)-4,20,40-trihydroxychalcone, (+)-3-(3,3-dimethylallyl)-40,50-[2000-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-dihydrofurano]-4,20- dihydroxychalcone and 3,4-(600,600-dimethyldihydropyrano)-40,50-[2000,-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-dihydrofurano]-20-hydroxychalcone for which the names bartericins A, B and C, respectively, are proposed. Stipulin, b-sitosterol and its 3-b-D-glucopyranosyl derivative were also isolated. The structures of these secondary metabolites were determined on the basis of spectroscopic analysis, especially, NMR spectra in conjunction with 2D experiments, COSY, HMQC and HMBC. The structural relationship of bartericins B and C was further established by the chemical cyclization of one to the other. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/258 Files in this item: 2

The Chimacum creek got a score of 21, and you probably dont know what that means so I will tell you. We get 4 points from every very intolerant to water pollution bug we get. Their is Stoneflies, Caddisfles, Mayflies and Dobsonflies and we found every single one of those bugs so we got 16 points from that. Then there is also intolerant bugs but we didnt find any bugs from that catagory. But then we found a tolerant scud so we got 2 points from that. In our last catagory, very tolerant, we got 3 points because we found a Flat worm, Aquatic worm and a Tubifex worm. In all we got 21 out of 25 points. But when our 6th grade went to our outdoor education camp (CISPUS) the creek there got a score of 25 and that is the best score. Now I'm jealous that our creek got a lower score.
