|Beausejour, Northeast of Winnipeg
Between Beausejour, which is northeast of Winnipeg, and Lac du Bonnet, which is northeast of Beausejour, lies a region of many Sasquatch sightings. A man from Lac du Bonnet described the appearance of an "overgrown ape or monkey" about six foot six inches, with dark hair or fur, on the road to Pointe du Bois one night in July 1974. A youth saw and heard a huge, hairy thumping on the trunk of his car as he made a U - turn on a road near Beausejour one night in June 1975. Another youth reported a seven or eight foot creature approaching his stopped car on the road between Beausejour and Lac du Bonnet.
The creature left fifteen-inch footprints in the snow which could be followed for more than seven miles. These and other reports from the region come from John Green's Sasquatch: The Apes Among Us. (1978).
Cedar Lake Sasquatch Sighting
Sasquatch sightings south of Cedar Lake were reported following the construction of the new road through the bush country. The road connects the small community of Easterville with the highway that leads north to Grand Rapids. Cedar Lake lies west of the northern part of Lake Winnipeg.
John Green in Sasquatch: The Apes Among Us (1978) reports on some of the sightings on the road renowned for its Sasquatch sightings. On August 23, 1968, three men stopped their car about four miles west of the junction of Highway 6 because they saw "something" walk out of the bush about a hundred yards away and onto the road. It walked like a man but was much too large and covered all over with short hair. "The men left hurriedly." Two days later, near the Easterville end of the road, two other men spotted a similar creature. "They too drove off in a hurry." Indian residents of Easterville and three non-Indian teachers at Easterville school all reported sightings while driving along the road, usually at night. One observer described a dark man-like figure hurdling over willows and small bushes with long strides. Another compared the creature with the color and size of a moose yet it jumped over things like a man. A third slammed on the car's brakes to avoid hitting a dark thing, estimated to stand nine feet tall, extremely broad, with a flat-profiled face. The Indians at Easterville whisper about the windigo; the non-Indians joke about the Sasquatch.
South Western Utah
I fly small, single engine planes with a group of people who perform search and rescue operations and other services for the various government agencies. We landed on a small dirt strip on south western Utah
to inspect the strip for any signs of usage. We landed and turned the plane around for an easy take off, and turned the engine off, and exited. There was a pilot, co-pilot and me in the back seat. We looked around the strip for any signs of recent use. We noticed a strong, sour stench in the air. Walking along the runway, I noticed a half devoured goat. There were no flies or maggots, so I figured it was still fresh. I called the other two other to have a look. While viewing this, the pilot noticed some movement in a large bush about 50 yards off. He picked up some rocks, and started throwing them at the bush. One hit. We then heard a loud scream and saw a large hairy man jump up. I would guess he would have been 7-8 feet tall and covered in dark brown hair from his head to feet, also it appeared this creature was naked. It looked at us and continued to scream. The co-pilot pulled a small firearm out of his fanny pack and fired two shots towards this hairy man. From 50 yards, I doubt he would have hit it, but the hairy man ran in the opposite direction from fright. We ran to the plane to get out of there. Once in the plane, we started up immediately and began to take off. We were in a Cessna 182, and there were windows in the back. I looked out the back and saw the man running after us with a large stick in it's hand. It was about 10 yards off of the tail of the plane. We made eye contact for about 3 seconds. They didn't look like the eyes of an animal. We circled around to see the thing again, but failed to find it. I have never been so frightened in my life, this all happened about 4 years ago.

Landry Lake
The so-called Uchtmann Tracks are photographs of three giant footprints twenty-one inches long and seven inches wide. The tracks were discovered by accident in an old ant hill on a limestone ridge on the shore of Landry Lake, which lies southeast of The Pas. The photographs were taken on September 9, 1974 by their discoverer, R.H. Uchtmann, a provincial conversation officer, who sent the evidence to the Manitoba Museum of Man, along with an explanatory letter. The Uchtmann Tracks and the interesting letter appear in John Green's Sasquatch: The Apes Among Us (1978). Uchtmann referred to the tracks as "some human footprints," yet he wondered about the size of the human that left those prints. He explained.
I was moose hunting at the time I found the three tracks. My impression at the time was that they were not man made and that they fitted no animals in the area. They were sharp and clear at the time and were made after the rainfall on September 25..... There is the possibility of someone having made the prints but this strikes me as being highly unlikely. The prints were approximately 1/4 mile from a bush trail passable to vehicles. Back along the road 200 yards is a dike across a creek on the north end of Landry Lake. It seems more likely that someone creating a hoax would have placed the prints on the dike where there would be more chance of seeing them.
Poplar River
The R.C.M.P. Report
The Polar River Indian Reserve is located south of Norway House on the east coast of Lake Winnipeg.
The chief of the reserve, bothered by reports of "a large hairy animal that walks on two legs," alerted the RCMP detachment at Norway House. Officers of the detachment made an investigation, and then sent the following report by telex to the Force's Vancouver Lower Mainland Division. The text is reproduced by John Green in Sasquatch: The Apes Among Us (1978).
It was reported to our office on July 26, 1976 by the chief of the Polar River Indian Band that many of his people have sighted on the reserve many times a large hairy animal that walks on two legs. Polar River is located approx. 76 miles to the south of Norway House. An investigation was conducted and the results are as follows:
Several people were interviewed and they all stated that the animal was approximately seven to eight feet tall and was very broad at the shoulders. It had the general body structure of a man only many times larger. A foot cast was taken of the foot impression that was left behind by the so-called monster and is held at this detachment. It measures 16 inches by five inches, and has only three toes. It's fur is a glossy gray color and it has white hair on it's head. They stated that it was very powerfully built and one man reported that he saw it swimming. To date there have been no further reports of sightings in our area. It should be noted that this so-called monster seemed very inquisitive towards the people and would come around the houses on the settlement and look in doors and windows.
Campbell River
The historian the Rev. Bruce McKevie preserved this account of a "monkey man" in the Campbell River area. It is reprinted from John Green's Sasquatch: The Apes Among Us (1978).
One of the most outstanding timber cruisers who ever operated in British Columbia, Mike King was a fine type of man with an enviable reputation for reliability. He told of being in the Campbell River locality of Vancouver Island. He was not alone, for his India packers refused to accompany him into that particular area, being afraid of the "monkey man" of the forest. It was late afternoon when he saw the "man-beast" bending over a waterhole, washing some roots, which he placed in two neat piles. When appraised of Mr. King's presence,the creature gave a startled cry and started up the hillside. he stopped at some distance and looked back at the timber cruiser, while Mike King kept "it" covered with his rifle. Mr. King described the Sasquatch as being "covered with reddish-brown hair, and his arms were peculiarly long and were used freely in climbing and in the bush running: while the trail showed a distinct human foot, but with phenomenally long and spreading toes."
|Chehalis Indian Reserve
The Chehalis Indian Reserve is located at a number of location along the Harrison River in the vicinity of Chilliwack. It was from here that the word "Sasquatch" was introduced to the world. Sasquatch is an Anglicization of the Coast Salish word for a huge hairy-looking creature said to live in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia, where Indians occasionally encountered it. The word was popularized in a number of newspaper and magazine articles written in the 1920s by John W Burns, a school teacher on the Chehalis Indian Reserve. Burns was quite taken with the idea of the "wild mountain men."
Burn's article "Introducing B.C.'s Hairy Giants" was published in Maclean's on
April 1, 1921. Publication of the piece on April Fool's Day may have been a coincidence or a jest on the part of the Toronto editors. Whatever he case, the word acquired national usage when it was announced that Harrison
|Someone or something left this enlarged print in August 1977 in the soil of northern British Columbia near the village of Chetwynd. If the giant print was made by a Sasquatch, the creature has four toes rather than five. [Vancouver Sun]
|Hot Springs would host a "Sasquatch Hunt" to mark the B.C. Centennial of 1958. Like the Sasquatch, which is never there when most wanted, the hunt was never held. Yet the word was accepted as the name or description of the Canadian cousin of California's Bigfoot, Nepal's Yeti, the Himalayas' Abominable Snowman, and Siberia's Almasti. Further details may be found in Wayne Suttles' "Sasquatch: The Testimony of Tradition" in
Manlike Monsters on Trial (1980) edited by Marjorie M. Halpin and Michael M. Ames.
|Pitt Lake
Two prospectors, in the mountains northwest of Pitt Lake, in June 1965, encountered some fresh tracks in the snow. "The prints were enormous, twice as long as their own boots and as wide as a boot is long," wrote John Green in Sasquatch: The Apes Among Us (1978). They were perfectly flat and showed four clear toe impressions, with the big toe on the inside of the foot like a man's. The stride was double man's stride. Snow in the bottom of the prints was tinted pink." The prospectors followed the tracks until, in the trees on the other side of a lake, they saw a figure standing and watching them.
The thing was auburn in color except for it's hands, where the color lightened gradually almost to yellow. As sketched on the spot it had a human-shaped head set directly on very square shoulders and it's forearms and hands bulged like canoe paddles. It was swaying slightly as if shifting from foot to foot, and it's hanging arms swayed too. They couldn't make out it's face because of the distance, but the features seemed flat. It was just noon, and they sat down and had a cigarette and a chocoate bar while they watched it and tried to estimate it's size. Counting the sets of branches on the evergreens where it stood and comparing them with those on their side of the lake, they decided it was between ten and fourteen feet tall. It just continued standing there, so finally they went on. When they came back there were more tracks around, but the animal was gone. The following day the prospectors saw more tracks, but never again did they see the creature with "a human-shaped head."
|Footprints left in the ground may be cast in plaster. But when prints are made in the snow they are ephemeral. Here is a news photograph which shows a young woman on march 17, 1977 pointing out a print left in the snow by a large-footed creature, perhaps a Sasquatch.
[Vancouver Province]
|Sechelt, B.C.
A huge hair creature was seen by a drill-rig operator on the extension of a logging road near Mile Nine on Chapman Creek not far from Sechelt. About seven-thirty on the morning in June 1973, the operator had taken his rig to the end of the road and climbed on top of a huge log to look over the grade ahead. Across the clearing he saw a shaggy-haired creature about 150 or 200 feet away, standing on two legs. "Besides being covered with hair, it seemed to have a goatee. It appeared to be larger than a man, and it was jumping up and down, with it's arms bowed out at it's sides," noted John green in Sasquatch: The Apes Among Us (1978). "The witness looked for a place to run to, but glanced back and saw the creature do a somersault off the log to the lower side of the road cut. Then the man leaped onto the drill rig and started to drive it away in reverse...and then told his boss that he would not work alone on the road anymore. "When the men returned to the site they found some footprints in mud, only one of which was much good. All the witnesses agreed that it looked more human like than bear like. The man who saw the creature did not say that it was a Sasquatch, but he insisted that it was not a bear."
Silver Creek
Sasquatch wrestlers were spotted by Burns Yeomans, a veteran prospector, working the headwaters of Silver Creek, not far from Harrison Hot Springs, in August of 1939 or 1940. Yeomans told his story to Sasquatch hunter John Green in 1965, recalling that from the peak of a mountain he and a fellow prospector could see into an open valley about three-quarters of a mile below and beyond them. The sight he found unforgettable was of four or five dark and hairy men-like beings, standing upright, wrestling. They were knocking one another to the ground in a playful rather than a vengeful manner. He watched the Sasquatch wrestling match for about half an hour, until the participants tried of their sport and disappeared into the woods. Yeoman estimated that the wrestlers stood about seven feet tall and each weighed about four hundred pounds.
Squamish, B.C.
An unusual animal was spotted on the road north of Squamish by a highway maintenance foreman. He prepared a report for his superintendent who passed it on to the B.C. Provincial Museum. One afternoon in January 1970, the foreman was driving north of Squamish; around a slight curve in the road he saw "a large hairy animal" that "got up on it's hind legs and ran across the road in an upright position." He judged it to stand at least seven feet and weigh 250 pounds. It had a prominent stomach. There was a shag of reddish-brown hair all over it's body from the shoulders down. The hair on it's head was quite short and darker brown in color. "It didn't have a bear's face, it had more of a flat face like a person or a monkey." He was perhaps one hundred feet away from the animal when, noting the approaching driver, it "just scurried right across the road and up the bank here on the other side, in the upright position like a man would run, and it did run, it didn't waste any time at all."
An unusual feature of the sighting is that the animal was carrying it's food. "I'm not sure how many fingers but it did have hands and in the right hand it was carrying what appeared to be a fish, a ten-inch fish."
John Green, in Sasquatch: The Apes Among Us (1978), added: "nearest water is the river running far down below the road in a steep canyon, so if the creature was indeed carrying a fish it seems probable that it was not for its own consumption."
|Toba Inlet
The strangest Sasquatch story of all is the one told by Albert Ostman, the logger and experienced woodsman who left a detailed account in writing of his abduction, captivity, and escape from a family of four Sasquatches in 1924. As strange as it may seem, his story has a strong narrative appeal and may well be true in part if not the in whole. Ostman was prospecting about twenty-five miles northeast of Toba Inlet, on the mainland coast, and was in the habit of sleeping with his belongings, which included cans of provisions and a Winchester rifle, snug beside him in his sleeping bag. He was rudely awakened one night be being hoisted onto the shoulder of a hairy creature and being carried on a journey that lasted some three hours. He was numb when they arrived at their destination, a small valley surrounded by high mountains.
Here Ostman was held captive but not otherwise harmed by a family of four Sasquatches. The
|Rene Dahinden (left) converses with Albert Ostman outside the latter's cabin at Fort Langely, B.C. The interview took place in the same summer of 1957. Ostman recounted how he had been abducted and held captive by a family of Sasquatches in the interior of British Columbia. In his lap he holds the notebook in which he wrote down the story of his 1924 kidnapping. Dahinden holds a copy of Ralph Izzard's book Yeti
[Rene Dahinden/Fortean Picture Library]
|family members were the eight-foot male who abducted him, a female who much have weighed between five hundred and six hundred pounds, and two young Sasquatches of each sex. They were hairy naked ape like creatures who subsisted on a vegetarian diet. Ostman took an interest in their appearance and way of life, introducing them to canned milk and tins of snuff. But they had no intention of allowing him to leave, so he bided his time and on the sixth day of captivity he made his escape, firing the Winchester to frighten them. He took his bearings from the position of the sun and made his way on foot to Salmon Arm Branch, Sechelt Inlet, and then to Vancouver. This was Ostman's last prospecting trip and his sole experience with the Sasquatch. Although he told his tale to a couple of people, no one would believe him, so he simply stopped telling it. In 1957, however, he wrote out his account in longhand in a scribbler and agreed to be interviewed extensively by John Green, who recounts Ostman's experience in Sasquatch: The Ape Among Us (1978). Green added: "Albert Ostman is dead now, but I enjoyed his friendship for more than a dozen years, and he gave me no reason to consider him a liar."
Bigfoot loose in Northern Ontario?
Massive tracks point to sasquatch migration
PEAWANUCK, Ont. (CP) - Footprints indicating a creature with a two-metre stride have some northern
ntario residents speculating the elusive Bigfoot may have moved in with the region's black bears and howling wolves.
Footprints measuring 35-centimetres long and 12-cm wide have been spotted in this farflung aboriginal community on the south shore of Hudson's Bay, and the chief of the Weenusk First Nation has only one explanation: Bigfoot.
''It's definitely not a bear,'' Abraham Hunter said firmly.
''I looked at them. They were six feet (two metres) apart, walking.''
News of the prints, first spotted June 9 by a band member riding a four-wheeler through the bush, soon spread through the community of 250 and the hunt was on for the mythical ape-like beast.
But in a region where wild hairy beasts are expected, the fascination didn't last long.
''There was curiosity, people going out there for about three days,'' Hunter said.
''Then the novelty wore off.''
The tracks were alarming enough to draw the curiosity of officials with the Natural Resources ministry, who arrived June 14 to investigate and record the images of the footprints.
''We were surprised,'' said ministry official Brett Kelly, who admitted no one could explain what caused the tracks.
But even if it is the fabled Sasquatch, which legend says stands seven feet tall and has long hairy arms, a short neck and flat face, Kelly said it's unlikely it would endanger the community.
Kelly said the reserve is located on Polar Bear Provincial Park - the largest wilderness park in Ontario with a small human population.
Chances of humans actually encountering the sasquatch are very small.
''We'll wait for more information before we do anything,'' he said.
To date, there have been 16 reported sightings of a Bigfoot in Ontario.
At least one resides near the Weenusk First Nation, says Hunter, who recalls a resident spotting the beast decades ago.
''About 20 years ago there was a sighting in our community,'' Hunter said. ''But none have been seen since.''
Kelly encouraged people to take advantage of a free admission day at provincial parks planned for June 24 to investigate for themselves.
''This Sunday in Ontario entry into all provincial parks is free, so people can go find it themselves,'' he said.
In the meanwhile, Weenusk residents are simply going about their lives.
''We're getting back to fishing and hunting,'' Hunter said.
''Things here are normal.''

Building today's entrepreneur – common misconceptions that could derail would be entrepreneurs
Without question, entrepreneurship is the hottest thing going today. Magazines and newspapers often feature a fabulously successful entrepreneur or talk about some of the literally hundreds of programs or courses being offered to help you become that entrepreneur. But how does that happen? "The best start for an entrepreneur is to gain experience," says Mark Hauserman, director of The Muldoon Center for Entrepreneurship. "This often means working for a company that may not have the biggest buildings on the block, but has an entrepreneurial attitude and will challenge you to spread your wings and continually take on new tasks."
Similarly, Michael Kaufman president and CEO of Specialized Education Services Inc., spoke with Smart Business recently about how he and his leadership team have the ongoing task of analyzing the people within the SESI organization, determining what assets they have and how they can best fit together to strengthen the organization moving forward. "When you hire someone, you want to start from day one thinking not only that you hired them for a job, but you start thinking about what they can do here in their career," Kaufman says. He says you believe in your people by giving them the structure to improve their skills, move up in the organization, and continually learn — both in formal training and on the job. You often learn on the job by making mistakes, which is why you can't be quick to punish someone who commits an error.
To that point, Hauserman says burgeoning entrepreneurs shouldn't be afraid to make mistakes. "I have heard Edward Crawford, Chairman of Park Ohio and self-made entrepreneur, say that the common denominator in entrepreneurship is failure. Not every idea you have will be a winner, but people will respect you if you get up after being knocked down and get back in the game," he says, noting "the younger entrepreneurs get it. A healthy 44 percent of young entrepreneurs feel that business failure is perceived as a learning opportunity."
Kaufman says by forgiving mistakes, "you can find an incredible talent who believes they were put on this planet to do what they're doing right now and you can get them to see that they are capable of even more than that — that they can become an amazing leader creating more leaders."

Re-reading the most recent couple chapters, i stumbled across this
In the middle-right panel, you see i believe Madara saying "Those on the verge of death require on-field treatment"(Sasuke?)
Then there's a white Zetsu saying "i'll head out immediately!"
Could it be that the mystery person by Sasuke is just a Zetsu, going there to treat him on Madara's orders? Why would Madara even want to save Sasuke? Or anyone for that matter? That selfish prick seems to only care about himself, but he may have uses for Sasuke...
I would be disappointed if Kishi has been trolling us with this Mystery person and it's just a white Zetsu sent by Madara...
UPDATE: Okay so it seems Madara is probably just talking about the infinite tsukiyomi plan here. Credit to DRAW for pointing it out.
Another thing came to mind recently.
Hashirama gave Sasuke a jutsu right before he went to go fight Madara. Is there a possibility that maybe this jutsu is the reason why the "mystery person" whose chakra Karin does not recognize appeared? I myself find this hard to believe so bare with me. Hashirama said it was a jutsu that would bind Madara in response to him taking his Senjutsu chakra.
We've yet to see what exactly it is as Sasuke got owned pretty quickly, but at this point it could be anything, even a technique that would summon someone in response to Sasuke being mortally wounded, you never know.
Another thing to keep in mind is that whoever it is, Tobirama does not recognize them....http://narutobase.net/manga/Naruto/664/2
I could go on, I might add more later. Honestly not sure who it's going to be at this point, but I'm looking for hints in previous chapters....that's enough of my ranting about nothing heh

Mac Miller Talks Pink Slime, Future Projects, and Working With DJ Jazzy Jeff
During his recent visit to the UK, the Rostrum Records recording artist Mac Miller sat down with SoulCulture TV and discussed learning from different cultures as he travels the world, being a workaholic, his single/mixtape/album release strategy, future projects, working alongside legends like DJ Jazzy Jeff and the importance of working with Hip-Hop icons.
"I think it's nice to just take in different cultures. It's probably one of the greatest gifts and what I can do as I'm traveling is learn about different cultures," he says. "Being from Pittsburgh … things are different and you never expect to be able to see places like this."
"People just plan so much right? Like 'I'm gonna drop this at three o'clock p.m. because thats when the most people see it.' [But] to me it's like you're either gonna listen or you're not. So I'ma drop it when I'm ready, and if that's four in the morning then you're either up or your not, and you either check or you don't," he explains before adding, "I'm strategic, but to an extent. I'm strategic but I don't like to lose any authenticity."

World number one Federer, who conceded just six games to Henman at the same stage at Wimbledon, won 6-3 6-4 7-5.
Henman did manage to break Federer's serve in the second set but the Swiss player never looked vulnerable.
Top seed Federer, who has not lost a set so far, now faces American Vince Spadea in the third round.
Despite committing 38 unforced errors, unseeded Henman played well but was no match for the Wimbledon champion.
Federer broke Henman in the second game of the match and pressurised the Briton's serve throughout the first set.
In the second set, Federer grabbed a 5-2 advantage before Henman scored his only break of the match to trim the lead to 5-3.
He could not capitalise, however, and Federer served out the set.
Henman, 31, improved his play in the final set but a loose service game allowed Federer to take a 6-5 lead before the Swiss served out the two-hour, two-minute match to love.
The Briton admitted that his poor start to the match gave Federer an immediate initiative.
"You can't really afford to give him the start I did because he's got enough confidence and he's playing at such a high level, he certainly doesn't need any help from me," said Henman, who was nevertheless upbeat about his own performance.
"I might have lost today but in actual fact the way I felt on court in certain instances, the way I was playing, there's some positive stuff in there.
"While I still have this mentality and I'm enjoying the challenge then I'm going to keep playing and have some fun."
Federer said: "The conditions were tough today, breezy, chilly. Henman was trying to kind of break the rhythm, as usual.
"So it makes it hard to really play well and get the good rhythm going. I think it could have been easier, but it could also been tougher."

EurekAlert! is reporting that the Harris mud crab (Rhithropanopeus harrisii) has definitely arrived in the Panama Canal. Researchers have discovered breeding populations of the invasive crab, native to the Atlantic coast of the US, in Miraflores Third Lock Lake. The lake has actually been separated from the canal system for decades, but is now scheduled to be reconnected as part of an expansion project. Now it's up to those researchers to determine just how widespread the crab is within the canal system.
The Harris mud crab is already quite widespread in Europe, and can be found in Russia as well. With all the concern about green crabs, Asian shore crabs, and the Chinese mitten crab invading the Atlantic coast of the US (check out all of the ISW articles on crabs), it is interesting to see a species native to that region becoming invasive in other parts of the world.
This is the very first mention of Panama in five years of posts at the Invasive Species Weblog. It's about time, Panama! :-)

What about the species humans don't love...and the ones that won't get along with the ones humans decide to love? Sounds like a bigger mess to me.
By Jennifer Forman Orth, at
Clearly so. How could humans possibly be wise enough to deduce or decide what lives, and what does not, when we've unconciously done so much to see that nothing at all lives, save the scavengers on our waste?If all life is One on this biosphere, and I have to think it is, then everything has the same right to survival. Given the interconnectedness of life, there's really no way to choose, we can only tinker at the borders, like sowing acorns where the spruce are dying off, or like keeping knotweed in some semblance of balance. But if the knotweed is capable of taking over, in time it'll form symbiotic relationships with natives and other invaders, or the lathe of heaven will deal with it's monoculture in some other way.I too hate to see these aggressive invaders.But in the face of the climate changes we have unleashed, anything capable of survival has value, in the unknown climate once the Anthropocene arrives.

Speculation is rife that the outgoing director of the Perth International Arts Festival (PIAF), Sean Doran, is in line for the job.
Doran, whose fourth Perth festival began on Sunday, has confirmed he is on the shortlist and plans to return to Britain when the festival ends late next month.
The former director of the Belfast Festival put his stamp on the PIAF the moment he arrived in West Australia four years ago with all artistic guns blazing. His 2000 program was adventurous, risky and bold. It included Deborah Warner's daring The Angel Project and the epic Chinese opera The Peony Pavilion. A critical success, it nonetheless plunged the event $2.6million into the red.
But since those days Doran has brought the PIAF, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, back from the financial brink by taking a decentralised approach and reaching previously untapped audiences in Perth and neighbouring areas.
In doing so, he hasn't compromised on quality or skimped on big names, but created a range of mini-festivals, be it opera, jazz or the reinstated writers' festival, with individual bosses taking charge.
Although Doran has no direct experience of managing an opera company, he has strong arts administration credentials and, as his time in Perth has shown, the resourcefulness and grit to turn ill fortune into good.
While it awaits new leadership, the ENO plans to recruit freelance talent for big productions to offset the job losses in the orchestra and chorus. The company temporarily moves to the Barbican in June while the Coliseum is closed for much-needed updating.

Blind Brook is planning to reopen the schools Monday at the usual time "barring unforeseen circumstances," and Port Chester will reopen Monday on a two-hour delay.
Rye is hoping to reopen also, though the district was still waiting for power to be restored at the Osborn and Milton schools as of 3:45 p.m. today, according to the district website. Watch the site for updates.
The delay in Port Chester is intended to help manage transportation along with ongoing outages in town. The superintendent's conference day scheduled for Tuesday is canceled in favor of regular classes.

O'Brien Valhalla Wakeboard, Blank
- This item can only be shipped to U.S. addresses.
Progressive rocker line
Full rail and beveled edge
Bites the edge when carving
Single-to-double concave hull
The Valhalla proves that when you get something right, you stick with it. The Valhalla's progressive rocker line keeps the pop predictable like a continuous board but with the kick of a 3-stage. The full rail and beveled edge through the midsection keeps the board loose when flat. The board tapers in volume toward the tips to provide the edge bite you need when carving. The single-to-double concave hull provides thrust, while deep exit channels harness your edge power at the wake. 1" pipe fin set-up. Valhalla 127: 50" x 16.4". For 50-130 lb. riders. Valhalla 133: 52.4" x 16.6". For 80-160 lb. riders. Valhalla 138: 54.3" x 16.8". For 130-210 lb. riders. Valhalla 143: 56.3" x 17". For 165-250 lb. riders.

Thetford Priory is a Cluniac monastic house in Thetford, Norfolk, England.
One of the most important East Anglian monasteries, it was founded in 1103 by Roger Bigod, 1st Earl of Norfolk, and dedicated to Our Lady.
In the 13th century, the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared in a vision to locals requesting the addition to the site of a Lady Chapel. During its construction, the old statue of her on the site was discovered to have a hollow in its head concealing saints' relics, and became a magnet for pilgrims.
It housed the tombs of the Howard dynasty, of Henry FitzRoy, 1st Duke of Richmond and Somerset, and of other early Tudor Dynasty officials. Even this could not save the priory from the Dissolution of the Monasteries and, on its closure in 1540 (it was one of the last priories to be dissolved), the Howard tombs were removed to St Michael the Archangel, Framlingham.
Its ruins (including the lower walls of the church and cloister, along with the impressive shell of the priors' lodging and, reached by a pathway from the main site, an almost complete 14th-century gatehouse) are open to the public as an English Heritage site. The priory and gatehouse are Grade I listed buildings. The ruins are reputedly haunted and were the subject of an episode of the television series Ghosthunters.
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, another Grade I listed building, is 300 metres to the south.

LCN advances to regional finals with win over Chippewa Valley
By Mark Vest
Posted March 11, 2013
GROSSE POINTE — Macomb L'Anse Creuse North advanced to a Class A regional final after defeating Chippewa Valley 43-41 March 11 at Grosse Pointe North High School.
The first half of the game was a low-scoring affair, with Chippewa leading 16-14 heading into the third quarter. LCN coach Jay Seletsky credits the change of tempo in the second half as the key to the Crusaders' victory.
"That's all we talked about," he said. "My assistants came up with a good little run-and-jump that we haven't used in a while. I usually don't like doing those things. I like to be more structured with the zone press. They saw some things, so we changed the tempo, and it worked."
LCN will take on Detroit Southeastern in a regional final contest, scheduled for 6 p.m. March 13, also at Grosse Pointe North.

No family would be complete without the big, domineering, yet assuring presence of the "biggest" member: the "daddy". The Ketapang suite is just that; a large suite, fit for 4-6 people, with spacious living space that will ensure the little ones enjoy just enough space as the older folks. Space is not its only perk; 2 comfortable beds side by side also ensure that the kids actually get a chance to not sleep on the floor (which as many families know, commonly happens in big box hotels)
The boisterous, playful boy of the family, the Cocos suite represents a cosy getaway with enough space for a small family of around 4 to a couples retreat just for 2. This bright, colourful suite is appropriately coloured yellow, ensuring the kids (and their parents) have a fun, fun, fun stay.
A mothers job is to protect, nurture and generally love the entire family. Fitting that role perfectly is the Ixora suite, a pale beige, white "Mum" generally more suited towards the elderly; be it a slightly older couple looking to rekindle their honeymoon romance, or the in-laws that come with the girl/guy of your dreams.
The sweet, demure little girl of the Neem family, the Kemboja creates less of an impact than its other family members, but its small, petite, appearance may be just what many newly wed couples looking for a honeymoon retreat are craving for. This small suite, more isolated from its counterparts, is just enough for 2, with all the necessary bath soaps, blankets and pillows to ensure couples a night they will never forget.
- Air-conditioner
- Bathrooms
- Parking Lot
- Kitchen
- Boutique Gift Shop
- Swimming Pool
- Trampoline
- The Gathering Area
Although the Neem may appear to be a rustic, "kampong" style looking area, we do not skimp on common comforts one might expect from a commercial hotel. Each suite is fully air-conditioned, but the breeze outside on a windy day might just change your mind about staying indoors.
Stepping into a bathroom in one of the suites teleports guests to a simpler, more hassle-free life. With a large, clay "tempayan" acting as a washbasin, guests are able to enjoy a refreshing "cebok" shower. For those who prefer to stick to showers, our bathrooms are fully equipped with rain showers which are supplied with hot water, and are also complete with an array of spices, bath soaps and shampoos, making each bath a wonderful experience.
Unlike many commercial hotels which one might find in Melaka, or anywhere else for that matter, the Neem's parking lot is located right outside the lobby, ensuring that your car remains where you can see it.
Nothing beats a good night sleep. Well, except maybe waking up to an excellent breakfast after a good night sleep. This simple, vintage designed, "kopitiam" like kitchen whips up scrumptious meals, with the occasional special "surprise meal" cooked up at random by none other than the owner himself.
The gift shop in the Neem offers no run-of-the-mill, tacky souvenirs. Instead, Spice of Life, the main supplier to the Neems prestigious gift store, offers exotic, seldom seen genuine art and craft items which appropriately represent Malaysia's rich and colourful culture.
Honestly, when it comes to pools, nobody wants to do laps or break their new PB in a triathlon when they're on a holiday. Instead, the Neem presents an appropriately sized pool, complete with a wooden deck surrounding it, enabling guests to laze around, completely free of worry, while held up by the buoyancy of water. Best of all: no crowding. With only 4 people to a pool, the Neem ensures that each family gets appropriate usage of the pool.
Ever jumped on a huge trampoline before? Chances are, you haven't. With a large retaining net surrounding the main "take-off site", our large trampoline ensures that kids (an adults, assuming you don't weigh over a hundred and fifty kilos) are able to have loads of fun without breaking anything.
Space is of the essence when it comes to resort style like homes. Opening the doors, guests step out into a windy, lush green opening equipped with deck chairs and tables overlooking the swimming pool, where worries are just blown away by the wind. Children are able to run around, while parents watch at the side while enjoying a cup of coffee or tea generously supplied by the kitchen while enjoying the cool, Malaccan breeze.

All Fun
Gather your family together for an hour or two of face-to-face gaming with a twist: you can make the games yourselves to match your family's interests.
What do nannies, billies, and kids have in common? They're all goats! Nannies are the moms, billies are the dads, and of course, kids are the kids!
How doth the little busy bee
Improve each shining hour,
And gather honey all the day
From every opening flower!
--Isaac Watts, Against Idleness and Mischief
Do you like honey on your toast? Thank a bee! Actually thank about 100,000 bees. That's how many can live in one hive! "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you…" (It would take you about 27 hours of non-stop thanking to thank each bee in one hive.) Bees make honey by collecting nectar from flowers and carrying it back to their hive. They put it in a little wax cell. Then bees fan their wings over the nectar to help the water evaporate from it. When most of the water has evaporated, what's left is honey. They cover the cell with wax to save the honey for later. When a beekeeper's hive has more honey than the bees need to eat, the beekeeper harvests it.
Have you ever wanted to sail away across the water? For people today, sailing is something that's done for fun, but not so long ago sailing ships were the only practical way to travel across the vast oceans. For sailors to rely on only wind power called for courage, intelligence, stamina, and strength.
Need a game that's good for springtime? Marbles can be played outside or inside, so it doesn't matter if a quick, spring shower comes through your neighborhood. You just need a flat, smooth surface, like the kitchen floor or the blacktop at a playground. You can buy marbles at just about any place that sells toys. Grab a bag and get going for fun times practicing a classic game of skill.
Let's have fun in the rain with springtime games, crafts, and rainy day books.
It's raining. It's pouring. The old man might be snoring, but you're not. You're BORED. Tired of being in the house with nothing to do. There's no Cat in the Hat to get things going, but if you've got your galoshes and your rain coat (and a willing grownup) there's something you can do after the rain—puddle-jumping!
Run through the puddles very fast. Or, jump in big puddles as hard as you can. Play follow the leader and have a blast.
Magical fall weather is a perfect reason to spend the day in the company of the little people. Find a friend, and fill baskets with things to enjoy a special morning outdoors among the spring flowers.
Before starting out, you can make fairy wreaths and prepare a picnic fit for the wee folk. Fairy Bread is easy to make and is a favorite in the Australia, the land down under. Just spread slices of bread with soft butter (a fairy favorite), shake on colored baking sprinkles, and cut into triangles. Pack your favorite juice, and you have a simple, sweet treat to take along on your travels.
If it's a cold or rainy day, you can create your own fairies to keep you company safe inside.
What fun is it to make a building? Just a building, maybe not so much fun. But how about a superhero headquarters, a garage, a space station, a cottage, a stable, or a fashion doll house? By using recycled materials from around the house, and a few craft supplies, you can design your own toys exactly the way you want them.
Scarecrows have been known at least as long ago as ancient Egypt. In some cultures, people were sent to the fields to keep away the pests. The Creek Indians did this in America. Before modern times, the English would also send out the very young and the very old to their fields with noise makers. All people rely on a good harvest to last them through the winter, and scarecrows, human or straw, help them to have one.
When winter skies turn gray, and the air thickens with chill, life becomes harder for the feathered ones. Food is scarcer, and handouts from us humans can make a difference to them. Take just a few minutes to create a place for the birds to hang out on a frosty day. Once you've got your feeder hung, check out a bird identification book from the library to learn the names of your grateful guests.

THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST PRODUCT I USE FOR THE SPRING/SUMMER SEASONS! It is a very light weight formula but still has GREAT coverage! I personally like putting it on with a foundation brush and the smoothing it over with my fingers to give it a more natural, and less brush-y look! I highly recommend this but you should definitely buy one or two shades darker than you if you plan to use it at the end of the summer and into the fall!
I haven't used this makeup for some time, but it was one of the first higher end foundations I ever used. I remember it feeling very comfortable and looking demi-matte and very skin-like. It was only about $24 at the time and I thought it was overall a great foundation, I just wish it had at least a little SPF, but I do recommend it if you have fragrance sensitivities since the brand uses no added fragrances.
Alright so my skin tone is basically alabaster. Shade 01 does a perfect job of covering up my blemishes without looking cakey on my face. I don't need much at all to get the job done, and I set it with Clinique double pressed powder to have a fresh look that lasts all day. I have been using this since I was 13 and I couldn't imagine switching to a different brand!
I personally love this foundation. I do wish the coverage was a little heavier, but it's easily build able. It leaves your skin dewy, which I love very much, and it lasts all day without showing pretty much any redness or discoloration. I really do recommend this product if you like a product that's like a mixture of a BB Cream but also a regular foundation.
This foundation is mostly sheer to me, it's somewhat buildable. I'd say it's more of a summer foundation, or for someone who doesn't like a lot of coverage. It can be used as a BB cream, I really do like it, but I'd prefer something with a little more coverage. And I love how it's non comedogenic, so it will not clog pores and create acne!
I particularly like this product, I feel that it looks pretty natural so it gives you that great look. In my experience, it gave a good amount of coverage. It has a dewy finish and yet it didn't feel super oily which I love. I would totally recommend it to other because of the fact that it's a fairly good price for what I offers.
I bought my clinique foundation during December because i needed a light weight foundation that didn't let my skin dry out in the cold. this foundation is everything i wanted Nd clinique creates some awesome formulas. i used the foundation with a completely different off brand foundation and it blended splendidly.
Ever so often I decide try a different foundation, but always regret it and end up coming back to Perfectly Real. For me, it is the perfect amount of coverage to even out the look of my skin without feeling too heavy or ending up cakey or fake-looking. It has been my go-to foundation for years.
I have been using clinique for my foundation pretty much for the past 4-5 years. I like it because it feels light and clean on my face rather than plaque but it is not full coverage. it's more like even skin tone so if you are looking for something more full coverage try full coverage products.
I cannot live without this foundation. It has great coverage that last all day even when I'm working 15 hour days. It's very affordable for the quality of product. I bought this product from Dillard when they had the free gift and have continued to buy it since it's been such a great product.
Looks interesting!!Is this a good product? What are the benefits??
Does this make you break out ? Or does it help break outs ?
How does it work with oily skin?
Will this give me full coverage while making my skin look natural?
This is by far the best foundation I absolutely love using! It's full coverage and gives you a sleek smooth look. Doesn't feel so heavy on the face and last a long time!

USGBC Central Pennsylvania: Green Schools Conference and Expo in Pittsburgh this year
The Green Schools Conference and Expo (GSCE) is in Pennsylvania this year, at a local, LEED Platinum convention center.
The event brings together green schools thought leaders and champions, including educators, school administrators, nonprofit and corporate partners and elected officials, to advance the shared vision of green schools for all within this generation.
When: March 31–April 1, 2016
Where: David Lawrence Convention Center, Pittsburgh, Penn.
GSCE is presented by the Center for Green Schools at USGBC. The Center for Green Schools believes that everyone, from the kindergartner entering the classroom to the Ph.D. student performing research in a lab, should have the ability to learn in a green school.
At GSCE, you can

Nike Modern Fit Women's Sports Pants
Comfort is key when you are exercising - if you don't feel comfy you aren't going to do it. These are comfy and cute - wear them around the house for all day comfort!
I love these capris so much that I have them in grey, white and black. The people at the Nike store in Eugene thought that I was insane. They are the perfect length for petites and hide any insecurities in the hip area.
The waistband on these capri pants is adjustable - which makes them perfect for people looking to loose some weight with their workout!

My favorite frat pack movie. I love Owen Wilson, I love Vince Vaughn, I love Rachel McAdams and Christopher Walken and Keir O'Donnell, and I almost love Isla Fisher. It's about 15 minutes too long, but the Will Ferrell cameo makes it all worth it.
John_and_Rose's recommendation
This was such a hysterical movie! We've seen this movie several times and do not ever get tired of it. I particularly loved Vince Vaughn and Isla Fisher - this is a must-see comedy!!

Andrea's recommendation
When anyone pulls out this movie, you're like, "Wait, I've seen this one, guyssalllllll right. Fine. Put it on." If someone else chooses it, you can't not watch this movie. PS, how hot is Ali G's girlfriend in it? Very hot.

Vince Vaughn is always fun
amyCA's recommendation
All I can say is, I'd crash a wedding with Vince Vaughn any day.
JustEliana's recommendation
In this movie, Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn have quite the bromance in this episode. And in real life owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson also have a bromance.

A true classic. One of the funniest movies I've ever seen.


text: Personally, I'm a huge supporter of a robust crafting system that's central to both the economy and player gearing. Crafted purples -- I love 'em. But strengthening the professions as a whole could mean a major overhaul to the difficulty and accessibility of what the game allows individual players to accomplish. If player-made items were to play a more central role in modern Azeroth, how should the scaling of professions and crafting change to accommodate that? Should changing professions be difficult? Expensive? Should you remember recipes if you drop a profession and then pick it up again? Or should you be able to learn as many professions as you care to put the time into training?

2. I suggest to make it totally clear that (diags kernel and partition), and (main kernel and partition) must have matching versions (but not necessarily vDiags==vMain) . This is especially important, as we now have 5.1.2 kernels and images for main, while still using the 5.0.x ones for diags.
3. Finally, many of the images (esp. the 5.1.2 ones) now have slightly different names than the ones you mention. Maybe it's simply worth a paragraph at the beginning of the guide, where you give examples for the 4 different files required, along with a short explanation what each file is.
Thanks for pointing it out!
I was thinking about updating the guide and this is really the right time to do it.
1. flashing diags kernel works the same way as flashing the main kernel, isn't it?! I mean, the command is the same (apart from the different file name)?
2. you mean that main kernel version must match main partition version AND diag kernel version must match diag partition version (while main version could not necessary has the same version of diag)?
3. oook, this one is totally clear!
I just asked all these stuff to double check everything as the guide has LOTS of download and, while I can bear to mess up MY kindle, I don't want to mess up someone else's!

iPad Wall Mount From Bracketron
Put an iPad in Your Wall With the Bracketron Motorized Wall Mount
Put an iPad in Your Wall With the Bracketron Motorized Wall Mount
Having an iPad isn't cool. You know what's cool? Having one built into your living room (and kitchen, and bedroom, and bathroom) wall. Buying up a gaggle of iPads will cost you a pretty penny (not to mention getting them installed), but if you have one iPad and a few of these iRoom iDock mount ($TBA), you should be good to go.
The Bracketron iPad Wall Mount comes with a motorized mechanism that opens and closes with the press of a button, allowing you to slide your iPad in and out of the mount, virtually "installing" your iPad into your wall. They even come in two colors — black or white — to match your tablet. Naturally.

The Investigations worksheet is a simple, rote addition of 10 to multiples of 10 to 90. The French worksheet is a much more challenging addition of numbers that sum to different powers of ten, with directions to color different sums in different colors (in a way that helps keep many children engaged)--very similar to a several 3rd grade Singapore Math worksheets.

PRINCETON – When airports across Europe reopened after the closure caused by the eruption of Iceland's Eyjafjallajökull volcano, it was not because the amount of ash in the atmosphere had dropped, but because the risk that the ash posed to airplane safety had been reassessed. Was it new scientific information that led to the lifting of the flight ban, or was it a reflection of the hardship, both personal and economic, that the ban was causing?
Over six days, about 95,000 flights were canceled, at a cost to airlines of more than $1 billion. An estimated five million people were stranded or delayed. The British economy lost £1.5 billion, and others were similarly affected. Flower growers in Kenya, who depend on air transport to take their short-lived product to Europe, suddenly had no income. Sixteen cancer patients in critical need of bone marrow for transplants were put at risk because the matching marrow could not be flown in from the United States or Canada.
In the past, jets flying into ash from volcanoes in the US, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Mexico have temporarily lost engine power, and in one case, dropped thousands of feet, although all managed to land safely. But there was no evidence that the more widely dispersed ash blowing over Europe from Iceland would cause similar problems. The decision to ground flights was based on the view that any level of ash in the atmosphere posed some risk to aircraft, and that no matter how slight that risk might be, the government's job was, as British Prime Minister Gordon Brown put it, "to make sure that safety was paramount."
Indeed, in closing their skies, European governments seem to have given safety absolute priority over everything else. Yet none of them act on that principle in other areas. Some 3,000 people die on the world's roads every day. Cutting speed limits to, say, 10 kilometers per hour would prevent most accidents and save many lives. We don't do it, because we give safety a lower priority than our desire to spend less time driving.

972 College St. W.
Brunch served Saturday and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
On the Menu: Don't let the seven mains on Bestellen's brunch menu fool you — the well composed dishes are varied and crafted to please. Former Top Chef Canada competitor Rob Rossi is one of the partners behind this venue, proving yet again that he's more than just a camera-friendly face. We quickly settle on the Buttermilk Pancakes, which the website suggests will be served with strawberries, but our server tells us they will be swapped for in-season blueberries. Golden crispy edges, fluffy, perfectly cooked interiors that soak up the melted maple butter; it's pancake perfection. And at $10 for a trio of these generous beauties, chances are you won't walk away hungry.
The husband orders the biscuits with homemade sausage gravy served with a healthy heap of fluffy scrambled eggs and wilted collard greens with cubes of bacon goodness. The gravy has an herbal hit of rosemary that cuts through the richness of the sausage.
We cap off our brunch with a refreshing House Salad (which is, according to the menu, "ever changing"). Ours consists of slivers of fresh Ontario peaches, walnuts, radicchio and greens in a light, citrusy dressing with dollops of herbed goat's cheese, $11. This marks review number twenty-nine for me, and for the husband, it's the best brunch we've had. I consider it to be in the top three so far.
The "I'd Wake Up Early to Eat That Again!" Dish: The biscuits with sausage gravy, scrambled eggs and collard greens, $12.
The Queue: We get a late start and arrive at 1 p.m. The husband is worried that we won't find a table, and much to our amazement, there are many from which to choose. Brunch has only been served here for over a month — my guess is that it will soon be packed.
The Vibe: The front part of the long restaurant is airy and features a long bar against the wall. We're in the back where reclaimed barn boards cover the ceiling and butcher's cuts have been painted on the wall. Locals, young couples and young families congregate here for substantial brunch fare.
Kid-Friendliness: The staff must be used to toddlers and babies by now because in this neighbourhood for brunch, you're bound to bump into them. Our server is friendly, informed and happy to help.
Joe and Other Liquid Assets: There's no filter coffee, so opt for an Americano, $2.50 per cup. The robust brew gets 3.5 beans out of 4. There's also a smattering of brunch-friendly cocktails such as a Bestellen Mimosa featuring Spanish Cava, a hint of vanilla, and OJ, $8.
Price Tag: Our bill for two, which includes biscuits and gravy, buttermilk pancakes, a salad, two OJs, and an order of six doughnuts and one slice of pie (both to go for company we're having later that day) totals $68 including tax and tip.

Halloween will be here soon, and that means many shelters will not adopt out black cats. Sounds crazy? I thought so too. However, when I wrote about Black Dog Syndrome, many of the shelter workers I interviewed told me that from mid October to just past Halloween, the black cats that are up for adoption are not released to the public.
I mentioned in my Black Dog Syndrome story, that at first I thought all of this was a hoax. It just sounded too ridiculous to be true. Unfortunately Black Dog Syndrome does exist, and so does Black Cat Syndrome. I interviewed Dusty Rainbolt, vice president of the Cat Writers Association and author of Cat Wrangling Made Easy.
Following is my discussion with Dusty about black cats and Black Cat Syndrome:
Pet News and Views (PNAV): Are black cats popular or do people avoid them?
Dusty Rainbolt: In most parts of the world black cats are considered good luck. In the U.S., Spain, and Belgium they are considered bad luck. Franklin Delano Roosevelt said, "There is nothing to fear, but fear itself." Black cats are like that. There's nothing fearful or evil about them, except what we harbor in our minds. Black cats are actually lucky in one very real sense. Recent genetic research has shown that the same mutation that gives the black cat his coat also makes him more resistant to disease. That's lucky in my book.
PNAV: Where are black cats thought of as good luck?
Dusty: They love black cats in Great Britain, Australia, and Japan. In the 18th century, English ships wouldn't leave port without the ship's black cat. He controlled the weather and provided good luck and protection. Anyone who threw the ship's cat overboard would be flogged at the very least–possibly even executed. They took their black cat lucky charm very seriously.
PNAV: Why don't shelters adopt out black cats around Halloween?
Dusty: Black cats are tortured and mistreated by pranksters and some people involved in the occult. While black cats are the target, no cat is really safe.
PNAV: What evidence is there that black cats are harmed this time of year?
Dusty: I've interviewed police departments in my area and yes, there is a higher incidence of torture and killing of cats at this time of year. They didn't say whether it was related to the occult or maliciousness. It doesn't matter. The cats died horrible deaths. If you love your cat, keep him inside year round, but especially around Halloween.
PNAV: I know black cats are tied to superstitions. Do you know why this occurs or where it started?
Dusty: Cats are endowed with elliptical pupils, which allow cats to see better during the night. They also hear much higher pitches than humans do. Some people judge this to be supernatural.
PNAV: What precautions should we take on or around Halloween with our black cats?
Dusty: Keep all kitties inside. On Halloween night, go one step further and lock him in a room so he doesn't escape while you pass out candy.

Govs. Deukmejian, Wilson, and Davis must be living in another world if they believe that the lawsuit aimed at preventing SANDAG's 2050 Regional Transportation Plan from taking effect is "frivolous." Their recent opinion article ("Keep California green and golden with CEQA reforms," Commentary, utsandiego.com, July 12) conveniently left out the fact that California Attorney General Kamala Harris is a party to the lawsuit against SANDAG along with groups that are rightly concerned about the environmental damage the plan would cause throughout the region.

San Diego Union-Tribune
P.O. Box 120191
San Diego, CA 92112-0191.
Harris brought suit because SANDAG blatantly ignored an executive order signed by a Republican governor aimed at reducing California's contribution to climate change. SANDAG's plan delays investments in transit to the distant and theoretical future, when funding is far less secure, and instead dumps money and resources into sprawl-inducing freeways. Even SANDAG admits that its plan will cause climate change-inducing emissions to go up in the coming decades. No matter how you slice it, that's not "smart growth." And three former governors should know better than to make such a disingenuous claim. – James R. Mills, former California state senator, Coronado
Three former Golden State governors recently came together to argue that the California Environmental Quality Act is in need of reform. The governors wrote this article under the umbrella of the Southern California Leadership Council, which describes itself as "a business-led-and-sponsored public policy partnership." Is there any wonder the piece would take such an ancient pro-development approach?
While the article claims that CEQA was misused in calling into question the approach taken by SANDAG in its 2050 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy, their argument could not be further from the truth. There is nothing "smart" about the growth encouraged in SANDAG's plan, which invests first and foremost in expanding freeways at the cost of taking a transit-centered approach to development.
San Diegans are eager for more livable communities that protect the natural wonder in our region. Investing in transit creates jobs better than building wider freeways. It also protects our environment and quality of life. CEQA was created precisely to force both public agencies and private developers to focus on these kinds of win-win alternatives.
So yes, let's keep San Diego green and golden. Invest in transit first and send SANDAG back to the drawing board. – Jack K. Shu, president, Cleveland National Forest Foundation
"Keep California green and golden with CEQA reforms" asserts that Californians must weigh the benefits of economic growth against environmental protection. But the article leaves out another essential component that must be considered when making decisions about land use planning, public health.
San Diego suffers from some of the worst air quality in the country. High concentrations of air pollutants threaten the health of all San Diegans, especially vulnerable populations like children and the elderly. With health care costs taking up more and more of total spending in our economy, encouraging a healthier population should be a top priority for public agencies like SANDAG.
Unfortunately, SANDAG's 2050 Regional Transportation Plan will keep people in their cars for decades to come instead of shifting to investments in transit. Both Los Angeles and the Bay Area are prioritizing investments in transit, in part because investments in public transportation improve public health. Transit not only reduces air pollution, it encourages people to walk more, an essential component in fighting our nation's obesity epidemic.
The lawsuit against SANDAG is far from frivolous. The ability to use CEQA to encourage SANDAG to get it right for the future of our communities is an important tool and Californians should think carefully before watering it down. – Eugene V. Helsel, M.D., San Diego

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/8/2013 (1456 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
NEW YORK -- Miley Cyrus' foam finger, Lady Gaga's thong, Taylor Swift's mean streak and the look on Rihanna's face while Drake performed will surely be remembered, but these MTV Video Music Awards belonged to Justin Timberlake.
Timberlake briefly reunited with 'N Sync, won moonman trophies including top honour video of the year for Mirrors plus the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award and managed to overshadow most of today's top pop stars while doing it.
"I don't deserve the award, but I'm not going to give it back," Timberlake said. "I'm taking this home."
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis were the night's other top winners, taking home trophies for best hip-hop video and best cinematography for Can't Hold Us, and best video with a social message for Same Love. They performed that song with Mary Lambert and Jennifer Hudson in a show-stopping moment.
"Gay rights are human rights," Macklemore said during the telecast. "There is no separation."
It was one of the few poignant moments in a night filled with spectacle, spite and lots and lots of skin.
Up till then, the ladies of pop music dominated as an X-rated Cyrus became the rare artist to upstage the recently rehabilitated Lady Gaga. But a vengeful Swift managed to take the spotlight from both after appearing to utter an expletive to Selena Gomez when One Direction and rumoured former love interest Harry Styles appeared at Sunday night's award show -- a moment that lit up Twitter.
Swift wasn't the only one with a strong reaction to One Direction -- cheers mixed with boos as they won song of the summer for Best Song Ever.
And she gave a shout out to an unnamed former beau for helping her win another moonman trophy for I Knew You Were Trouble in the best female video category.
"I also want to thank the person who inspired this song, who knows exactly who he is, because I got one of these," Swift said. "Thank you so much!"
Gaga changed costumes four times during her first return to the stage since hip surgery as she performed her new single Applause at the top of the show. It was a predictably unpredictable appearance for Gaga, who pumped in boos over the sound system as she opened the song in a white nun's habit and square headdress.
By the time she finished the song, she was surrounded by unitard-clad male dancers and wearing a thong bikini.
Cyrus immediately kicked things up well beyond provocative, however, as she appeared on stage with a multitude of dancing teddy bears in a bodysuit adorned with a cartoon character. She twerked to her song We Can't Stop, changed into a nude bikini, ran a fan's foam finger along her privates as Robin Thicke appeared on stage to perform Blurred Lines, then gave the singer a lap dance.
"Miley better go get a pregnancy test after all that grinding," comedian Kevin Hart joked afterward.
Rihanna didn't even have to take the stage to get a social media reaction after appearing to offer a sour face to Drake during his high energy performance of Started From the Bottom.
No one got the kind of time Timberlake did, though.
Dressed in a black suit and black hat with a red feather, he powered through a breathless series of solo hits before the other four members of 'N Sync -- JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick, Joey Fatone, and Lance Bass -- joined him on stage, opening with Bye Bye Bye. Timberlake's Suit & Tie also won for best editing and best direction by David Fincher.
Other winners included Pink and Nate Ruess for best collaboration, Bruno Mars for best male video, Gomez for best pop video, Thirty Seconds to Mars for best rock video and artist to watch Austin Mahone.

Marvin Lewis can build his team without your help, OK?
The Bengals coach got defensive Sunday when talking about what Cincinnati has done in the free-agent market so far. While the Bengals signed several of their own players before free agency opened Tuesday, they have signed only one player — also one of their own — since.
Lewis said the team has looked at several players and "decided to pass," according to Joe Reedy of The Cincinnati Enquirer, but he saved his best comments for another angle of the discussion. In what appeared to be a response to a Sunday column by Enquirer writer Paul Daugherty that called Lewis to go out and sign splashier free agents, Lewis took some swipes at a few wide receiver graybeards.
"[Bengals receiver] Mo Sanu [is] way ahead of where one certain receiver [Chad Johnson] was in his second year playing in the National Football League," Lewis said, according to Reedy. "I'll go on record saying that."
Having finished with Johnson, Lewis moved on to another receiver — one who played all the way until the Super Bowl last year.
"That's the uneducated putting dumb thoughts in people's minds," Lewis said. "It's why you have an opportunity to go after these guys and go get these guys. So you continue to make your team better. You are not a positive in making your team better when you keep adding old guys.
"What did Randy Moss do for those guys last year? He did nothing. He got in the way of a young player performing."
Moss, for the record, was widely credited last season with helping the San Francisco 49ers' young players develop while he did the dirty work as the team went to the Super Bowl. He got more playing time only at the end of the season, after the 49ers needed some depth in the receiving corps due to injuries.
Lewis may have a point about Johnson, though. Johnson was considered one of the best wide receivers in the NFL when he played with Lewis and the Bengals. In his 10 seasons in Cincinnati, he had seven 1,000-yard seasons (including 1,166 in that second year that Lewis referenced), 10,783 total yards and 66 touchdowns. Johnson's reputation as a receiving great took a considerable hit, however, when he was signed by New England and failed to find his way into the Patriots' game plan after he reportedly couldn't understand the playbook.
Lewis may have good reason to stick to his guns and develop from within, if Johnson and 36-year-old Moss are the best options out there. But chances are those weren't the splashes that Bengals fans were looking for, anyway.
