Benjamin Franklin's notion of good works
Letter to Joseph Huey
Joseph O'Brien 10 p.m., Sept. 20
As pieces of the alleged plot to smuggle Libyan Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's playboy son Saadi into Mexico begin to come together, newspapers around the world have been checking in with details of the accused conspirators.
According to an account in today's National Post of Canada, San Diego-based Veritas Worldwide Security had a disputed link to a plan to airlift the late dictator's son into the country.
On November 17, the Post broke the story that Canadian Cynthia Vanier had been arrested in Mexico City on November 10 for her alleged work in Libya during the last days of Gaddafi.
Charges included suspicion of organized crime, falsification of documents and human trafficking, the paper said.
According to today's Post account, a Vanier associate said he had helped her develop a plan to get Saadi into Mexico, but that the plan was to be legal and have the approval of the Mexican government.
The Veritas involvement began with an earlier fact-finding trip set up by Vanier's associate, the paper says.
"The former Australian soldier assembled a security team. They contracted a Hawker 800 jet from Veritas Worldwide Security, a San Diego company run by retired U.S. Marine Gregory Gillispie. He is a partner in a holding company with two of those arrested in Mexico, Ms. Huerta and Mr. Flensborg."
Gillispie reportedly told the paper that "Vanier, who still owed him $40,000 for the plane contract, had contacted him and asked to meet in Mexico City to discuss the debt. He said he sent his two partners to meet her and was 'baffled' by the arrests."
"We brokered an airplane for Cyndy Vanier, that was the entirety of our business with her," the Post quoted Gillispie as saying.
"I can see how my partners going to meet with her to get paid, and they show up and these federales [Mexican federal police] are there, I can see how circumstances would dictate that my partners get questioned or even held for a day or two.
"But for these people to be making these kinds of connections, that my partners are doing bogus passports and doing money laundering and trafficking people, this is like somebody's reading a freaking Tom Clancy novel or something. It's ludicrous they way they're piecing this all together."

One play stands out so far in relation to Dezmen Southward's career and he wasn't even credited with the tackle. Early on in the 2010 season, Wisconsin was trying to get to the locker room with a slim lead over Arizona State. When the Sun Devil kick returner looked to have broken one of Philip Welch's kicks, it was the speed of Southward that helped prevent a score going into the half. He slowed down the ASU player enough for Shelton Johnson - the player Southward is competing against for the starting strong saftey spot - to make the tackle at the one yard line.
With the way the season played out that proved to be one of the bigger plays of the entire year. Wisconsin went on to win that game by a single point after Jay Valai blocked what would have been the tying extra point late in the fourth quarter. Had Southward not taken such a great angle and gotten enough of that kick returner at the end of the first half that game could have wound up entirely different. And if it did, who knows how the rest of the season would have played out?
Entering 2011, it seems as though Southward's speed -arguably the faster player on the roster - will be utilized much more than just special teams. Having only played football for three full seasons, Southward seems to have turned the corner as a football player and looks to be a contender for the starting strong safety spot. In fact, he passed Shelton Johnson on the depth chart as spring camp wore on.
He's athletic, rangy, quick and extremely fast. His tackling has also improved each season he's been in the UW program. He may not pack as much punch as Valai did back there for the past number of years in regards to big hits, but he will probably offer more consistency in pass coverage simply because his speed will allow him to make plenty of plays.
Whether he earns the starting spot or not by the season opener against UNLV, Southward will play an essential role in the success of the 2011 Badgers. He'll either make plays on special teams or on a down-by-down basis. He's simply too athletic not to get involved.
UP NEXT: No. 22 on our list is a wily veteran who has run into some injury problems throughout his career. His health, if for nothing else, will provide added depth for a position that is relatively young. If he is completely recovered, he'll likely anchor what should be one of the stronger units the Badgers have to offer.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Eighteen dedicated Hereford breeders achieved Gold TPRTM (Total Performance Records) status for fall 2012, according to the American Hereford Association (AHA).
Also, the AHA has released the updated EPDs for fall 2012. The EPDs and the updated Trends, Traits and Distributions report are available online at Hereford.org.
The Gold TPR Breeder recognition is presented to progressive Hereford breeders who have measured traits and collected and promptly submitted performance data at all levels of production.
"The reason the Gold TPR program was established was to recognize those breeders who go the extra mile to collect data at all levels of production and report that data in a timely manner," says AHA Chief Operating Officer and Director of Breed Improvement Jack Ward.
Since the program's inception in 2005, Hereford breeders have increased their data collection efforts.
Breeders must meet a specific set of requirements in order to be eligible for the program. They are:
• Herd inventory submitted prior to date inventory surcharge goes into effect.
• Complete reporting of calving ease and reproductive status for each dam on inventory.
• Complete reporting of birth weights for all calves recorded in the calf crop.
• Complete reporting of weaning weights for all calves recorded in the calf crop.
• Complete reporting of yearling weights for all calves recorded in the calf crop.
• Complete reporting of scrotal measurements for each bull calf with a recorded
yearling weight.
• Ultrasound data reported on 25% or more of the calf crop.
• Note: For weaning and yearling weights, disposal codes are accepted if the animal has been removed from the herd.
The following Hereford breeders were recognized as fall 2012 Gold TPR Breeders:
Bay Brook Farm, Dabneys, Va.
Rex Bradford, Saint Marys, Ohio
Brielmaier Farm, Cincinnati, Ohio
Gary Hedrick, Marietta, Ga.
David or Juanita Jennings, Rogers, Ark.
JMS Polled Herefords, Knifley, Ky.

Architect imagines a neighborhood and a whole new building type designed around bikes
Tree Hugger, 9/29/15
Copenhagen brands itself as a "city of cyclists", but has no building stock to reflect this. The centre has buildings designed for an age when everyone walked and the suburbs have houses to drive to, while designers of redevelopment districts assume that people would rather take trains to the city. In other words, their bicycle planning stops at the curb.
Lack of transport retailers a barrier to everyday biking in Vancouver
Vancity Buzz, 9/29/15
While many reasons have been given for that falloff, we firmly believe the theory that most manufacturers and retailers are selling "the wrong bikes for the wrong reason." Nowhere is that more apparent than here in Vancouver, where manufacturers, retailers, advocates, and city officials continue to conflate the worlds of sport and transportation cycling, to the distinct detriment of the latter.

While it's true dynastic politics flourish in India, it's not always easy for children of successful leaders to succeed them. It took Indira Gandhi both time and serious effort to be accepted by the party that elected her father as India's first Prime Minister. In fact, to win over the satraps of the Congress, she played a dumb doll (gungi gudiya, as they called her) for years till they put their defences down and that's when she seized her advantage. But, funnily, despite her achievements, some good, some of questionable merit, she was always seen as Panditji's daughter who inherited power, did not earn it.
Her son Rajiv had the same problem. He initially played the reluctant politician card. But even that didn't help. He was still seen as a usurper, not a politician in his own right. Now his son Rahul is facing the same questions, the same doubts as he campaigns in UP, curiously against Akhilesh, son of Mulayam Singh, another stalwart. Luckily for Akhilesh, his father's around to make his entry into the party easier and those questioning his right to inherit the mantle, like Amar Singh, have already painted themselves into a corner. Whoever wins in UP, one thing is clear: Dynastic politics is in.
In Mumbai, last weekend, another dynastic story played out. Uddhav finally laid to rest all doubts about his ability to lead the party his father founded in 1966 to assert the pride and self esteem of the Maharashtrians. While Balasaheb's politics often raised more questions than they answered, there was never any doubt about his formidable hold over Maharashtra politics and the influence he wielded over his flock. The Sena saw him as an iconic leader, a patriot and the BJP saw him as convenient ally to take on the Congress. When Balasaheb's health began to falter around 2004, Uddhav stepped in. At the time, many questions were raised about his ability to inherit the mantle that his cousin Raj also laid his claim to, as indeed did others. Eventually, Raj quit the Sena to form his own party, leaving behind a truncated Sena as well as a truncated vote bank that many felt had no chance of survival.
Uddhav was seen as inexperienced, soft, not charismatic enough. While Raj flamboyantly emulated the flourish of his uncle, not to speak of his aggressive posturing, Uddhav chose a low key, cautious approach, and tried to reach out to a larger vote bank. More interestingly, Uddhav refused to be seen as Balasaheb's successor. Instead, he played the role of the loyal son helping his father through difficult times, trying to hold the party together. His style was less confrontational, more inclusive. His approach was more methodical and meticulous, almost managerial. The media often called him the Sena's CEO.
Just as Balasaheb was seen not just as a politician but also as an editor and cartoonist, a man who used his pen to fight for a permanent space in the cultural map of Maharashtra, Uddhav used his camera. His photographs of the fortresses of Maharashtra, the stunning moments he captured with the tiger, the party's insignia as well as a symbol of India's diminishing wild life, pitched him as a person aligned to the larger issues of society, environment, and natural justice. His books and exhibitions reinforced that imagery. He was not embarrassed to be seen as a quiet worker, rebuilding the party. It was not Balasaheb's charisma he laid claim to but the loyal vote bank that had once created the Sena. And, on friday evening, he knew he had won his first big battle. India's richest municipality, the BMC, with an annual budget of Rs 22,000 crore, was with the Sena and its allies for another 5 years, defying anti incumbency and 15 years in power.
No, it wasn't a cakewalk. Mumbaikars constantly carp about the way the city is managed, and often with good reason. Now the challenge lies with Uddhav to prove that he can, and will, make a difference to the way things are run. That the BMC, often called Mumbai's most corrupt organisation, can become a body Mumbaikars can one day be proud of.

The low-porosity thing is a good point. If this is the case, use a steam treatment to get your conditioner to absorb well. Look in the protein-sensitive forum at the "DT?" thread...I explain how I do my steam cap. If your hair is low-po, gentle heat is your friend.
remember, with all advice or suggestions for your hair,
My hair:
2b wavy, medium texture, low porosity, med-high density. Protein finicky.
My routine:
Cleansing: DCNP, every 4-5 days (occasionally use CJ cleansers).
RO: CJSC, occasionally use JCDC
LI: KCKT or CJSL
Gel: KCCC, CJCIAB for 2nd day hair (sometimes third)
Heat is my friend: warm water rinses, steam caps, and diffuse dry. I love CLU cloths and my Denman.

Espanyol coach hits out at 'foolish' King's Cup exit
MADRID, Nov 9 (Reuters) - Espanyol coach Ernesto Valverde said he felt humiliated after third division Rayo Vallecano beat the King's Cup holders 1-0 at home in the fourth round on Wednesday to knock them out 2-1 on aggregate.
'We were made to look foolish but this is football and it isn't good enough to have a better team on paper if you don't prove that you are on the pitch,' Valverde said after the game.
'Upsets happen every now and then, and it was Espanyol's turn this time.'
The Catalans needed a twice-taken penalty in time added on to earn a 1-1 draw from the first leg two weeks ago, and were second best again on Wednesday as Rayo's Miguel Michel scored the only goal of the game in the 56th minute.
Although Espanyol beat Real Zaragoza to lift the Cup back in April they only just avoided relegation from the Primera Liga last season with a stoppage time goal in their last game.
Valverde replaced Miguel Angel Lotina as coach but with a UEFA Cup campaign to contend with as well Espanyol have only managed one win in all competitions from their last eight games.
His side trooped off the pitch on Wednesday barracked from all sides by irate fans, while the press speculated over Valverde's future at the helm.
'I am the one who is responsible for our Cup exit. I have always felt supported since I have been here but all coaches know and accept what is in play in every game,' he added.
Espanyol, who are 15th in the league, visit bottom club Real Sociedad on Sunday.

Brandon Jacobs Receives Threatening Tweets
Giants running back Brandon Jacobs did not play Monday Night against the Giants because of a nagging hamstring. How insensitive of Jacobs to not think about how that affects fantasy teams around the country, at least that's what one fan was thinking. Check out this tweet that Jacobs received and the response from the NFL veteran with, "Look at what we deal with …"
Look at what we deal with.. pic.twitter.com/YfP960gShS
— Brandon Jacobs (@gatorboyrb) October 22, 2013
Of course the fan above immediately backpedaled as quickly as possible once Jacobs made the tweet go viral and sent this to Jacobs:
"I AM DEEPLY SORRY OH MY GOD THIS WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN WTF I DIDNT MEAN ANYTHING THAT I SAID PLEASE MAKE THIS STOP @gatorboyrb … I AM LITERALLY BEGGING YOU RIGHT NOW … LIKE IM SCARED AF MAN PLEEEEEAASSSEEE MAKE THIS STOP … I literally cannot do anything else but just hope nothing happens , deactivate , and hope it drifts away".
And then there was this tweet that Jacobs received Monday Night as well:
@_EricWhite F**k you and your fantasy team.. This is my real life..
— Brandon Jacobs (@gatorboyrb) October 22, 2013
It's unbelievable to me how many still send out these tweets without thinking of the ramifications. Think before you tweet.

Full description
BEAUMONT With a history dating back to the Domesday Book in 1086 Ingsdon was already an established manor and was to remain so for successive generations. The Beaumont family enjoyed ownership of the manor in the 14th century during which time Philip de Beaumont became Abbot of Buckfast in the year 1349. The ancient manor house disappeared in 1869 being replaced by St Michaels convent in the 20th century. In 1979 this fine Victorian building was consumed by fire and the site of this and the old manor house gave rise to four new houses one of which carries the name Beaumont in recognition of past owners.
DESCRIPTION Situated in a most enviable position with a wonderful rural outlook and some magnificent views Beaumont has been the subject of extensive remodelling and renovation works performed to the highest of standards and recognised by the Devon Building Control Partnership in 2009 where it was awarded Winner of the best domestic extension. All four of the bathrooms have been replaced now boasting high quality Porcelenosa. The kitchen has been remodelled and now benefits from solid oak cabinets, granite work surfaces and a wide range of quality integrated appliances. There is a real sense of light and space in this lovely home created by an extensive use of glass and high ceilings throughout. The kitchen/family room is a wonderful space in which to relax being further enhanced by the addition of a modern multi fuel stove. From here one of the two conservatories lead you nicely onto the terrace and the gardens beyond. The additional height drawing room has a welcoming open fire and French doors onto the outside space. The dining room is quite special with a pair of bi-fold sliding glazed doors leading you into the second conservatory.

Cleverly located in a sheltered spot behind the property is a large terrace from which to enjoy the warmth of the summer sun. Slightly obscured from view and on the far side of the garden is a tractor shed and to the front of the property is a double garage and large parking area suitable for several vehicles.
Careful consideration has also been given to the environment with the addition of a Bio-Mass boiler providing heating and hot water, UV panels to assist with the hot water supply and Photovoltaic panels generating electricity. Not only is Beaumont a wonderful family home, it is also cost efficient due to its pretty impressive eco -credentials.
SITUATION Beaumont enjoys a privileged position having a real sense of rural life whilst at the same time being only 3 miles from Newton Abbot which plays host to a cattle market on Wednesday and a general market on Saturday. There is also a mainline railway station here providing swift transfer to London Paddington and the nearby A38 Devon Expressway (no road noise) serves Exeter and the M5 beyond. South of Ingsdon is a wide choice of beaches and in Torquay, Dartmouth and Plymouth there are marinas catering for all sizes of marine craft. Dartmoor to the north plays host to a wide range of outdoor pursuits and has some of the best countryside walking in the county. Its unspoilt landscape of rolling moorland and granite tors are extremely attractive and ever popular. The university and cathedral city of Exeter is approximately 18 miles distant and offers excellent shopping facilities with many well known outlets being represented. Exeter airport is easily accessible and now offers a range of domestic and international flights which are increasing year on year.
ACCOMMODATION Double doors with glazed side panels lead you into the wide entrance hall providing access to the bedrooms on your left and to the living accommodation on your right. From this central position doors radiate to:

From the central island unit there is access into the family area with a modern dual fuel stove and French doors into the conservatory and access from here onto the terrace and the garden beyond.
From the utility room there is access to the covered area outside, to the front and rear of the property and to the double garage.
DRAWING ROOM 24' 11" into bay x 18' 0" (7.59m into bay x 5.49m) Two shallow steps down increase the ceiling height to 10 in this room. There is a deep bay window and French doors onto the terrace. An ornate marble fireplace frames the open fire and provides a focal point for this comfortable room.

A solid oak floor complete with under floor heating leads you from the entrance hall into the bedroom wing complete with:
LIBRARY/GYM 18' 11" x 11' 7" min (5.77m x 3.53m) in This is an open room flooded with natural light introduced via a range of south facing French doors, tilt and turn windows and an attractive roof lantern. From the pair of French doors there is direct access to the terrace and the gardens beyond.
MASTER BEDROOM 19' 0" min x 14' 6" max (5.79m min x 4.42m) max A fabulously light room with east and south aspects, French doors to the garden, tilt and turn windows, under floor heating, a walk in dressing room and a recently installed high quality en-suite. This really is a lovely room enjoying some splendid views over the garden towards the countryside beyond.
Guests are extremely well catered for at Beaumont; there are two further bedrooms each with en-suite facilities and dressing rooms. The fourth bedroom has an en-suite shower room plus the benefit of a large built in cupboard.
OUTSIDE Beaumont is approached via an impressive pillared entrance with a gravelled driveway leading you into an extensive parking area and the double garage. The garage has an electric up and over door and houses the Bio-Mass Eco boiler system and hot water tank; a covered walkway from here to the property ensures dry passage even on the wettest of days.
The outside space has been carefully designed with extensive terracing positioned to make best use of the passage of the sun. The largely flat south facing gardens extend to approximately 1.7 acres and are interspersed with mature trees, the lawns enjoying a carpet of daffodils, snow drops and bluebells in the springtime. Almost hidden from view and towards the boundary of the garden is the tractor shed. This is a garden to enjoy and one from which rural views are in abundance.

Look, I'm supposed to review "Ice Age: Continental Drift" here, but first, I need to talk about the short film that precedes it.
It's called "The Longest Daycare," it stars Maggie Simpson and it is brilliant. Marge drops Maggie off at school. She's quickly whisked through security, past the room for gifted children and into a holding cell, where she's introduced to the terrors of socializing with other toddlers. Maggie's interaction with a creepy, unibrowed kid who kills butterflies is hilarious and, ultimately, poignant in an animated film that covers more territory, all without dialogue, than most full-length movies. Even the tagline -- "No butterflies were harmed during the making of 'The Longest Daycare,' but two kids were pretty banged up" -- is hilarious in this triumph of storytelling, pacing and big-hearted humor.
It's also a tough act to follow, but "Ice Age: Continental Drift" does a decent job, entwining three strands of story: That rodent thing, Scrat, continues to pursue the elusive acorn he has sought in all three previous "Ice Age" movies; overprotective mammoth Manny (voice of Ray Romano) is separated from his wife (Queen Latifah) and teenage daughter (Keke Palmer); and the daughter, Peaches, tries to balance her friendship with a nerdy classmate (Josh Gad, funny and tender) with her attempts to fit in with the cool kids of prehistory.
"Continental Drift" is as cheerfully anachronistic as the other "Ice Age" movies. There's an Easter Bunny before there was an Easter, a pirate ship that Manny and pals must battle and, at one point, someone notes, "We fought dinosaurs in the Ice Age. It didn't make sense, but it sure was exciting."
That's a good description of "Continental Drift," a genial and frequently amusing outing that suggests the "Ice Age" series still has a couple of millennia left in it.

Should you go? Sure. And don't be late. The short that precedes it is a four-star winner. ***

SEFFNER — Workers will break ground in January on a $1.5-million station for Seffner-Mango Volunteer Fire Rescue, an organization which took over the area's volunteer fire duties three years ago.
"It will have all of the equipment to go with an up-to-date facility," said Ray Yeakley of Hillsborough County Fire Rescue, which is footing the bill for the station at 105 Cactus Road.
But Robert Van Etten, chief of the new station, is still fuming about the old volunteer fire department, the Seffner-Mango Volunteer Fire Department, that was disbanded in 2005 by Hillsborough County Fire Rescue chief William Nesmith. Seffner-Mango Volunteer Fire Rescue was created to fill the vacuum.
Among other things, the county accused the former department's chief, Bradley Price, of poor management practices after Price posted nude photos of himself from his home computer on an Internet dating site.
The county declared the Seffner-Mango Volunteer Fire Department's building unfit for habitation due to mold, and confiscated equipment. Price stepped down as chief, then re-emerged as "administrative chief," a position he still holds.
And Price has hung onto the defunct department's treasury, including $325,000 from the sale of property at 1706 S Kingsway Road that housed the former fire station. That rankles Van Etten.
"The community needs to be up in arms about it," said Van Etten, 70. "It's their money." He wants Price to turn over the old department's treasury to the county.
Price, 52, said he intends to give money to worthy causes, such as people whose homes have been damaged by fire or to firefighters or their families.
"It is going back to the public," he said. "But we're going to choose," Price said.
So far, he said he has aided Marsha Webb, who was uninsured when her house burned in January, and the family of county Fire Rescue Capt. Chris Artigas, 45, who was fatally shot in June. Price would not disclose how much he gave to either party.
Price disputes reports that he controls more than $300,000. N.R.G. Investments, which bought the 2.5-acre site, still owes at least $125,000, he said. He acknowledges that donations from the public make up some of the treasury — money presumably given for the purpose of fighting fires.
"People donated for services rendered," Price said. "They got a return on their dollar."
Price would not say how much money exists from donations, nor would he show records of donations to a reporter.
Some residents are skeptical about Price's motives.
"The area residents don't believe him, and they're disappointed and outraged at the way he would have taken money from the general public and done God knows what with it," said Terry Flott, president of the Seffner Community Alliance.
Price denies concerns that any money is going for his own use.
"If that were true, I wouldn't be struggling to make my mortgage payments," he said.
Price and his father, Henry Price, live on property Henry's father bought from the Seffner family in 1932. Henry Price founded the Seffner-Mango Volunteer Fire Department in 1960. Henry Price, 83, said that he and his son have given a fire truck worth $40,000 to a nearby church. He couldn't remember the name of the church.
The elder Price said his son is waiting for the Kingsway Road property to be paid off.
"When he receives the final payment, we are going to liquidate all of it," Henry Price said.
The appropriateness of Price's plan is for the Internal Revenue Service to decide. The IRS requires nonprofit organizations which dissolve to distribute their funds to federal, state or local governments or other tax-exempt organizations for a public purpose — but allows some leeway for the dissolving organizations to decide how to direct their funds.
"When an organization sets itself up, it has to have its articles of incorporation to address that issue as to how it is going to disburse its money when it dissolves itself," IRS spokesman Mike Dobzinski said. "It has to be along the lines of what their purpose is," he added. "It can't be something different."
The fire department's articles of incorporation from 1960 were not available at press time. The controversy that has simmered since 2005 may be waning. Van Etten recently addressed the Greater Seffner Area Chamber of Commerce but has not managed to drum up much outcry over Price and the funds these days.
"Apparently nobody wants to do anything about it," he said.

text: Okay - I have had to make some changes (last minute) to my teaching staff. I had a teacher quit and we have parent open house on August the 7th. I did not have a very good pool of applicants to choose from. I have hired a very enthusiastic young lady who I think will be great for the 2 year-old class. She just does not have any experience other than traditional babysitting. She has two years of college and is interested in trying to obtain an early childhood degree. The other 2 teachers I have on staff, I hired earlier this summer, so all staff are new to the parents. I sent a letter out earlier this summer introducing the two I had and telling about open house. I am having to move these two up an age group from 2 and 3 to 3 and 4 based on their expereince. I need to send another letter Monday to the parents about this so that they are not surprised at open house. How do I put the new teacher with no expereince in the best light to parents and how do I make this all look poisitve to parents so they are not in a panic at fruit basket turnover?

Friends of Wildlife:
Every animal has a right to humane medical care. It is heart breaking when there are "no more beds" in our hospital for wildlife in dire need.
There are millions of common wildlife injured or orphaned every year in Massachusetts. The Center can treat approximately 2,000 patients a year. This is a drop in the bucket! We do not have the funding for staff to treat more.
There is no government funding or publicly funded entity to care for suffering wildlife. Less than 1% of the Center's resources come from folks that bring us wild patients. By law, we cannot charge anyone, including municipalities, state agencies, and organizations that bring us ailing wildlife.
By law, the Center must provide the same level of care to a wild animal as a veterinary practice provides to a dog or cat. Sounds good, but our patients can't pay, and their needs are different from dogs and cats. All operating funds and funds to build our facility were raised by begging people just like you for money. New England Wildlife Center is a community organization – founded by your neighbors and run by your neighbors.
When you help wildlife, you are a hero. When you take the time to bring an injured bunny to the Center, you definitely won't want to hear that we can't help. But, please, understand that we don't want to tell you that we can't help, especially because we wish we could. When we are full, we are unable to take in wildlife, until "beds" free up. If our veterinary staff and volunteers cannot safely care for more animals AND meet state laws and regulations, our only options are to recommend that wildlife be brought to other rehabilitators (who may or may not have openings), or to provide humane euthanasia. Before you come, please call 781 682 4878 and ask to be connected to our wildlife hospital to see if we are able to accept wildlife patients, also called "on intake". We are here for wildlife and here for you to the best of our ability. Thank you for your patience and understanding restrictions out of our control.Why We Cant Treat Every Animal

Last night, Manchester band WU LYF posted a new song to their YouTube account, but sadly, it's not pointing in the direction of a new record. Instead, the description that accompanied "T R I U M P H" explains that the band is no more:
"By the time I wrote this I was all ready gone. You know you aint got nothing but time, but time isn't an infinite currency I want to see wasted. If this is our last month living, apocalypse looming, I am not going to spend my final hours waiting in purgatory. I am done. There is nothing here that inspires/ interests me beyond the emptiness for dreams. and I don't want to spend my life asleep; dreaming of a….
"Wake up! We stay safe/ everything is golden/ in this place.
"WU LYF is dead to me. The sincerity of "Go tell fire" was lost in the bull shit of maintaining face in the world we live. Clap your hands chimp everybody's watching. A year spent losing faith; Innocence lost wide eyes see clear the dark. There's blood running down streets of every city in the world, what's a song to do, pretend it mean everything/nothing to you. Another distraction from the world we live. I and I struggle for a based positivity; Get free or die trying; J C Hung him self up for the easy way out. so Broken Mama Cita be kind to me."
Break-ups are always so bittersweet, and it's unfortunate that WU LYF decided to stop making music after only releasing one album, 2011's Go Tell Fire to the Mountain. Listen to "T R I U M P H" below and read the rest of the comments from the band, as well as the lyrics to their farewell track, on YouTube.
UPDATE: It appears that WU LYF has removed the video from their YouTube account. Thankfully, a YouTube user has uploaded "T R I U M P H." Check it out below.

Is anyone else having this problem? It's worked fine all week, even this morning, but as of 12 PM EST I can't even get into the menu.
Yes I have tried starting the game up on my Xbox but the screen goes dark after the title screen and nothing happens. Other people who are playing on PC, Mac, and PS3 are having similar situations. We just have to wait and see what Telltale has to say about this, because I really hope I don't have to repurchase it.
Yeah, I'm on PC and the Steam community has been commenting about it in the forums, so it's definitely something on Telltales' end. You definitely won't have to re-purchase anything, I know that for sure. Most likely a server issue.
I recently bought The Wolf Among Us for Mac and wanted to play it, but after "Click to Continue" the screen turns black and the background music stops playing. I've been trying to fix it for an hour but nothing I could think of worked...
Same thing is happening to everyone, it seems. Like Shubba said, we just have to wait for a statement from Telltale, since this sort of just hit everyone across all platforms today around the same time.
All right, good it's not just me... Hope they'll fix it soon then. Thanks for making this thread!
I hope so too, I've spent over 100 hours in this game and would like to finish my final playthrough, haha. No problem.
. Like Shubba said, we just have to wait for a statement from Telltale,
Lol, at first I was like "who the hell would have a username that is Shubba," but then I was like oh...
They are currently looking into this issue, keep an eye on this thread as TelltaleMike will update it when he gets more information about what could be causing the problem.
TelltaleMike just released that the problem is supposed to be solved. He told everyone to shut down your device completely (whether PC, Mac, ios, Android, Xbox, or PS) and restart it and the problem should be fixed.

AN unbeaten 41 from captain James Foster helped Essex bat out the final day of their LV= County Championship Division Two tie with Leicestershire and secure a draw at Chelmsford.
The home side resumed their second innings on 101 for one, still 51 behind the visitors' first-innings score of 433, but reached 271 for five before declaring.
With a lead of 119 and time running out, that prompted handshakes all round and meant the Essex team claimed eight points and Leicestershire 11.

Jaik Mickleburgh and Greg Smith had led the resistance on day three and carried on where they left off on Wednesday, quickly collecting the two runs they needed to complete their hundred partnership.
Mickleburgh was the first to reach his half century – from 119 balls – with a boundary off Anthony Ireland, while Smith followed in the next over with his fifty coming from just 95 balls.
After a brief delay for rain, Mickleburgh ensured Leicestershire would have to bat again before being bowled on 67 by an inswinger from Nathan Buck with the score on 158.
Smith was looking on course for a century before a needless run-out in the last over before lunch, the number three changing his mind after setting off for a run and failing to get back to his ground as Josh Cobb's throw from mid-off allowed wicketkeeper Ned Eckersley to remove the bails.

Smith's 85 was his highest score of the season but left Essex on 170 for three and it was 188 for four shortly after lunch when Mark Pettini, who had already survived a chance to mid-wicket, edged Ireland to first slip having made just 13.
Another rain delay cost Leicestershire five overs.
But the second new ball was taken and brought immediate rewards as Charlie Shreck struck with the very first delivery, tempting Ben Foakes to edge behind for 17 from 58 balls.
That left Essex just 61 runs in front. But Foster knew precisely what was required.
And he settled down to steer his side to safety, although he still managed a very impressive six fours in his 93-ball innings.
Foster, who also made 82 in the first innings, was ably supported by Kishen Velani who made 21 not out from 67 balls, while Shreck ended the day with figures of two for 48 from 25 overs.

Teacher/Coach Fired Over Twitter Re-TweetBy Dave Lucas Fri May 2, 2014
The same week as an international firestorm over racist comments by Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling, the question of what people can and cannot say — and where potentially offensive conversations take place — is echoing closer to home. The Albany City School District dismissed an employee after she re-tweeted a viral tweet on her personal account.
The Albany City School District fired a softball coach and substitute teacher at the Stephen and Harriet Myers Middle School over an alleged racist re-tweet on Twitter. A re-tweet is a re-posting of existing content under a user's own name. Others defended the 24-year-old on social media, insisting the school district misinterpreted the post.
The district says Zoe Naylor admitted she re-tweeted the tweet on her personal page. The tweet in question traces back to a popular feed maintained by an African-American that routinely uses a variation of "the N-word." That account added the questionable caption to a tweet copied and passed along from the Twitter page of a woman who posted a photo of her infant nephew. The re-labeled tweet went viral: re-tweeted thousands of times, it also became popular on Facebook.
School district spokesman Ron Lesko says a parent spotted the picture on Naylor's feed Monday afternoon. "One of our parents brought to our attention a comment that was associated with the Twitter account of our modified softball coach and in investigating that, we determined that it was a comment that we found to be highly inappropriate and offensive and something that she did re-tweet from her Twitter account, and in light of that action and that error in judgment she is no longer our modified softball coach."
Naylor has since deleted her Twitter account. She's out of a job and her career may be on the line. Michael Macomber is a senior associate at law firm Tulley Rinckey. "There are restrictions that apply to the First Amendment. Freedom of Speech does not apply absolutely. And once you enter into public employment, there's limitations that can be made on that. I don't even know if I'd go so far as to say it's a real question. I don't really know if there's any public concern with the comments made here. The teacher in question, unfortunately does not appear to be a union employee, so she does not have a lot of due process. I don't have all the facts and circumstances, so there may be possible claims that she can bring."
Lesko says the district does not have a written code of social media conduct for employees. "We do not have a specific policy governing the use of social media by our staff members, and that is, coincidentally, something that had been in discussion prior to this, and obviously something that is moving forward subsequent to the events of the week. We would have handled this same case given the same set of circumstances with any of our employees in the same way. The use of that word or its derivative is completely unacceptable in our school district. We will not tolerate that."
Lesko and the district want details regarding the social media accounts of any teachers or coaches or other employees who may be disseminating materials that could be offensive, and urge parents to contact them if they know of any such accounts. "We can't investigate something we're not aware of."

Panini America On Location: Scenes from a Wild Saturday at the 2011 National
ROSEMONT, Ill. — Saturday at any National Sports Collectors Convention traditionally ranks as the busiest day of the show. Form certainly held true for the 2011 edition — especially inside the Panini America booth.
Easily the 32nd National's most popular daily manufacturer attraction, the Panini America booth attracted its biggest crowds of the show on Saturday, as collectors lined up early to participate in the company's wildly successful wrapper-redemption program, leaving a line of silver-foil confetti and precious little elbow room.
Those passionate collectors who weren't on line for the redemptions were there to either participate in the company's hourly Box Wars contests, to simply soak up the electrified ambiance or both.
The following images tell today's tale, a feel-good story filled with highlights, including . . .
- One of the best 2010 National Treasures Football case breaks we've seen to date
- Panini America Brand Managers David Porter and Carlos Torrez accepting the Freedom Cardboard 2010 Product of the Year awards for National Treasures Basketball and Football, respectively.
- Crazy lines
- A bust-first-ask-questions-later mentality

LAUSANNEM (May. 26)
The United States is determined not to permit the current U.N.-sponsored Arab-Israeli peace talks here to end in failure, it was learned today in American delegation circles.
These sources pointed, to the appointment of Raymond Hare, deputy director of the State Department's Near Eastern section, as adviser to Marc Ethridge, American member of the three nation U.N. Conciliation Commission. Mr. Hare is scheduled to arrive here next week. Although ho has officially been appointed adviser to Mr. Ethridge and his successor, it is believed that Mr. Hare will actually be the American representative when Mr. Ethridge leaves for home in two weeks.
The State Department official received this assignment on the heels of his completion of a tour of Middle East states, including Israel. After his trip Mr. Hare called a meeting of the U.S. representatives to all Moslem nations in the Near East to discuss U.S. policy in relation to the Arab states. It is believed that the policy worked out at that session will be put into effect at Lausanne.

Warren Buffett has been buying Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNI) in "all you can eat" quantities at or below $80/share. Since purchases were made public months ago and some initial analysis was done in the press at that time, yet Buffett is still buying, it seems a good time to think about why he continues to buy this stock.
BNSF has had fairly soft volumes in 2007, compared with 2006, especially in intermodal (containers and trailers) and lumber/building materials. Coal and grain volumes have held up well, but Buffett is likely not buying for 2007 performance.
We know that railroads offer pricing advantages over truckers that increase with higher oil prices, and that BNSF has a network that spans from the Pacific through the heartland and to the Gulf of Mexico.
But what else is there that could make this company even more valuable over the next decade, and potentially even more valuable than Union Pacific?
I venture that it comes down to the BNSF rail lines through the Dakotas and Montana.
If you look at BNSF's route map compared with Union Pacific's, there is considerable overlap everywhere except for the northern plains states. Big deal, there is nothing up there…well, not exactly.
First, there are connections to Canadian lines through North Dakota (Canadian National Railway) and Montana (Canadian Pacific Railway). This is important for a few reasons. Canada is expanding oil production from its oil sands over the next 10 years, and a considerable amount of this oil will be refined and consumed outside of Canada. Some of this will come through the northern U.S. While Canadian National Railway has track in the U.S., it enters the U.S. way east of BNSF track, increasing cost. Canada is also a large grain producer, and this production is heavily concentrated in Saskatchewan, which borders Montana and North Dakota.
As the U.S. is still a primary market for Canadian exports, and BNSF is the owner of the closest "port of entry" for Canadian oil and grain (not to mention potash and other minerals), BNSF will naturally end up hauling a lot of this material. If you pull up the route maps for BNSF, Union Pacific, and the two Canadian rails it makes the discussion a bit easier. For Canadian producers to avoid BNSF track, they either have to go over the Canadian Rockies and down to Vancouver, or east through Minnesota. Since "inputters" ultimately pay the freight bills, they want to pay the shortest distance.
Second, it stands to reason that economic activity in Montana and the Dakotas will increase over the next decade. A new generation of more drought-resistant crops could make marginal land in the northern plains more productive, and BNSF hauls much of the harvest. Ethanol production may or may not stay "hot", but even if it doesn't, the ever-hungrier world demands more and more to eat, so I expect that more and more land will be planted. More plantings means more harvests which means more ears of corn ride the rails. Also, mineral exploration across this region is exploding, and somebody has to haul this heavy stuff to market. That somebody is BNSF.
Like Union Pacific, BNSF already owns track across much of the heartland, and will benefit from larger crops in the future. BNSF also hauls a lot of Powder River Basin ( Wyoming) coal, which is in demand for power generation, a trend that should continue. Intermodal volumes will vary according to economic conditions, but are also interesting over coming years as truckers face many headwinds.
We know that Buffett is a fan of real trade, not "pseudo-trade" using dollar-denominated IOUs, and if we extrapolate what this means for the United States over coming decades, it means the U.S. will have to produce more goods. To the extent this happens, BNSF will benefit. The U.S. has massive coal reserves and a great farm belt, and I expect a lot of our IOUs will be paid from these assets. As BNSF's transportation network is ideally positioned in these geographies, I doubt this is lost on Buffett and Berkshire.

Ex-BBC reporter Phillip Cottrell murdered in New Zealand street attack
Former BBC journalist Phillip Cottrell has died after a street attack in New Zealand.
Mr Cottrell was found with serious injuries on Saturday near the Wellington offices of Radio New Zealand, where he worked.
Police launched a murder inquiry after the 43-year-old died in hospital despite emergency surgery.
Detective Senior Sergeant Scott Miller of the Wellington CIB said: 'A scene examination began yesterday and an area canvas is still under way.
'Police are also in the process of obtaining and reviewing CCTV footage within the central city.
'We are yet to locate Mr Cottrell's wallet he was believed to be carrying at the time of the incident.
'We would like to hear from anyone who may have found an old-looking brown leather wallet over the weekend in the vicinity of Boulcott Street or the wider central city area.
'Police also extend our sympathies to Mr Cottrell's family and colleagues at Radio New Zealand. At this stage, his death appears to be unprovoked and totally unnecessary.
'We are determined to find those responsible for this vicious attack and bring them to justice.'
Former colleagues at BBC Scotland said he was a âgentle, kind man with an impish sense of humourâ. They added they were 'devastated by his senseless death'.
Mr Cottrell had worked for BBC Scotland before moving to New Zealand in 2006.

third Asked by Super

The appropriation made by Congress
for the Improvement ol Crater Lake
I'ark Is a direct slap at the Importance
ol this world wonder. A meaaley 30J0

W. t. Arrant had asked for ilu.bOO.
and confidently expected to get this
sum as the Secretary of the Interior
slated when here that lie wa favorable
to a lare appropriation to Improve the
park. Mr. Arrant na made extensire
plans for this year, but the smallnet of
tbe appropriation knock all ol hi plan
Into a cocked hat, and all he can do I
to make a very few of the most needed
minor Improvement. Tbe appropri
ation laat year was 17.112, and why It
it cut down so this year Is a thing that
Klamath cannot understand. Tbe
amount appropriated leaves $1000 with
which to build roadt, to maintain those
already built and to pay for all ol the
Incidental improvement that mutt be
made each year.
Tbe plant lor this year Included Uie
building of a wagon road around the
lake but this will have to go unUI more
money It available. TbellOOO will be
expended in running cable along the
trail down to the water and In building
roadt to Garfield and Applegate peaks.
The tmall appropriation will cnl short

Death of Kenneth Lay Leaves Questions Unanswered
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
JIM LEHRER: And finally tonight, the legacy of questions left by the death of Ken Lay.
The founder of Enron died in Aspen, Colorado, yesterday, after suffering a heart attack. He was awaiting sentencing for his conviction on multiple counts of fraud and conspiracy, all related to the collapse of his once high-flying energy company.
Barry Boss is a managing partner at the Washington, D.C., law office of Cozen O'Connor. His work concentrates on white-collar crime and corporate compliance. And Kurt Eichenwald is The New York Times reporter who chronicled the downfall of Enron and Ken Lay. His book on the case is called "Conspiracy of Fools."
First, Barry Boss, it's pretty well settled that Ken Lay's death means his conviction is null and void; is that correct?
BARRY BOSS, Cozen O'Connor: That's right. It erases the conviction. It takes him all the way back to before the case was started. So, it's as if the case was never brought.
JIM LEHRER: Now, why is that?
BARRY BOSS: Well, it has to do with the presumption of innocence. The presumption of innocence is very strong. And unless you have had a chance to go all the way through the appellate process and test your conviction, in our country, you're presumed to remain innocent.
JIM LEHRER: All right. Now, that immediately affects the — the government's efforts through the criminal conviction route at least to reclaim his so-called ill-gotten gains; is that correct?
BARRY BOSS: I believe it does. I believe it totally eviscerates it.
JIM LEHRER: All right. So, the government could still go on a civil route to try to get whatever money might be available, right, but they couldn't do it just automatically, as they were doing it before?
BARRY BOSS: Correct. It's possible they could do it civilly, but, as a practical matter, I'm not sure they can. It's been a long time since the conduct that led to the charges occurred.
There is generally a five-year statute of limitations for a lot of the civil forfeiture actions, which is probably the statute they would choose to bring. So, they may or may not have remedies available.
What were Ken Lay's assets?
JIM LEHRER: Well, Kurt Eichenwald, just as a practical matter, did the man have any money left? Did he have any assets to go after?
KURT EICHENWALD, The New York Times: I mean, truthfully, the -- the -- the people who have benefited from all this is -- are the banks.
The government, with the forfeiture action, would get to be at the front of the line of any group of people who were owed money. So, all they cared about is, what assets did he have? Now that they are gone -- and they are gone -- any civil action, be it regulatory or whatever, is at -- is at the back of the line.
Lay had secured creditors. Lay had people he owed -- he owed money to. He has about $9.5 million in assets and about $9.5 million in liabilities. Once those liabilities are met, the estate is basically going to have nothing.
There will, however, be a payout of many millions of dollars on the life insurance to -- to the beneficiaries, among them being Linda Lay, which can't be attached by anyone, because that doesn't pass through the estate.
JIM LEHRER: How much is the -- and you said many millions. Can you put a specific figure on that?
KURT EICHENWALD: I believe -- I believe it's $10 million.
JIM LEHRER: Ten million dollars. And that's in addition to the 9.5 you say. Now, that 9.5, what, is it the -- the condo in Houston and a few other things?
KURT EICHENWALD: Well, it's -- there are -- there is $6.5 million in a Goldman Sachs account. There's retirement money. There's the -- the apartment in -- in Houston. There's the house. There's -- there's some other real estate property.
He did not die in his own house. He was at the home of a friend. But, you know, in the end, truthfully, it -- it doesn't matter.
JIM LEHRER: Right.
KURT EICHENWALD: Their -- assets and liabilities balance out. The estate is going to be worth nothing. And there will be -- the -- the Lay family will have a new start with the life insurance policy.
Enron's fall dissolved Lay's money
JIM LEHRER: You have been on this story from the very beginning, Kurt. Where did all the money go? Where did all the Ken Lay money go?
KURT EICHENWALD: You know, people want to think it was spent. People want to think it was -- it was, you know frittered away on -- on a lot of things.
I mean, the man lived very well -- very well, but the vast majority of his money -- and he had some $400 million before this all started -- the vast majority of his money went up in smoke. It -- it went with the collapse of Enron. He had massive investments in this company. And when it went down, there, his -- his surviving stake in the company was worth nothing.
JIM LEHRER: He had all the stock, and the stock was -- was worthless, and so that meant all his holdings were worthless, yes. Yes. Yes.
KURT EICHENWALD: Yes.
JIM LEHRER: Yes.
KURT EICHENWALD: And, so, in -- in the end, in the end, he had, you know -- and -- and -- when he started, he had about $100 million in liabilities and about $400 million in stock -- worth of stock.
Well, at the end, he was, as, famously, everyone knows, he was selling shares to Enron, using that cash to meet some of his liabilities, paying things down, but the value of his -- of his assets was rapidly disappearing. In the end, he ends up the -- the -- he -- basically, his estate ends up being broke.
The influence on the Skilling trial
Barry Boss, as a practical legal matter now, of course, there was a co-defendant with Ken Lay. And it was Jeffrey Skilling. He was convicted along with Ken Lay. Does Ken Lay's death affect his situation? He's still set to be sentenced in October. Can you give us any feel for what this might -- effect this might have on that?
BARRY BOSS: Well, I think it -- it has in some ways a profound effect and in some ways no effect.
I mean, the sentence will go on just as it -- just as planned. The Skilling ultimate prison time will not be affected, and probably the amount of restitution imposed will not be affected. But he's left carrying the bag by himself. If Lay were...
JIM LEHRER: He's the last Enron man standing.
BARRY BOSS: Exactly, the only one standing. And, so, he's got to -- he will be strapped with that debt, whereas, if Lay were around, Lay might be able to pay some of it and take the burden off of Skilling. But now it's just Skilling.
JIM LEHRER: And that's over $100 million, right? Right? Isn't it over $100 million, Kurt, that the government was going after, 140 against the two of them, $143 million?
KURT EICHENWALD: Well, $130 million -- $130 million. But, at the end of the day, the government has to prove that every dollar they're seeking from Jeff Skilling is in fact a proceed of the crime that he's been convicted of.
So, they can't -- they can't just come in and say, he's been convicted. Give us all his money.
They have got to establish a case that traces the money to the crime.
JIM LEHRER: And you believe, Mr. Boss, that that will have some residual effect, the fact that Ken -- he's there by himself, and Ken Lay is gone, will have some effect on this, right?
BARRY BOSS: Well, there's -- there's two aspects.
What Kurt is talking about is forfeiture...
JIM LEHRER: Forfeiture. Right. OK.
BARRY BOSS: ... where there does have to be that link.
Restitution is a different story. And the restitution would have been sort of what was a joint and several, meaning that one or both are responsible for it. And, if Skilling paid it down, then that's less that Lay would have to pay.
But, with Lay out of the picture, it means Skilling is totally responsible for any restitution that is ordered. So any disgorgement...
KURT EICHENWALD: Well -- well...
JIM LEHRER: Yes, go ahead, Kurt.
KURT EICHENWALD: But -- but -- but the -- the difference is that, once -- once you go through -- I mean, you can only get, you know, blood out of a body once.
Once you go through the forfeiture proceedings with -- with Jeff Skilling, there's not going to be very much left. There's not going to be the opportunity to come back and say, now let's get additional money for forfeiture. There's -- there's -- there -- or -- or for restitution. There's -- the forfeiture proceedings, in and of themselves, are probably going to leave him with nothing.
JIM LEHRER: Yes. Skilling with nothing?
KURT EICHENWALD: Skilling with nothing.
JIM LEHRER: Yes. Yes.
You agree with that?
BARRY BOSS: Yes.
I -- I assume that -- that, I mean, with -- not only the United States criminal case, but all of the civil plaintiffs that are going after him, I assume, at the end of the day, there won't...
JIM LEHRER: Won't be anything.
BARRY BOSS: There will be nothing left.
Information that Lay withheld
JIM LEHRER: Kurt Eichenwald, back to you on Ken Lay.
He maintained publicly that he had done nothing wrong. It was -- and you -- you talked to him. You were around him a lot through the years. Is it your impression that he really believed that?
KURT EICHENWALD: I actually think so.
And what's interesting is, there are a number of people I have spoken with in the government who actually think so. You have a circumstance -- you know, the -- the -- the popular conception of what Ken Lay did is -- is pretty off-track.
There -- there's this belief that, you know, he was indicted for insider trading. There's this belief that he was indicted for what happened in California. And, in fact, he was charged with lying about the state of the company in the final 12 weeks of the company -- of -- of its existence, to employees, to shareholders, and -- and to accountants.
And, ultimately, those statements -- you know, he has a history of always talking about the upside, always seeing the positive. Well, under the federal securities laws, you're not allowed to ignore the negative. You're not allowed to sidestep the negative.
And what the jury found here is that he had a lot of information of problems at Enron that he basically sidestepped. Now, when we talked about the company's condition in the fall of 2001, he painted a very rosy and cheery picture, which ultimately proved not to be true.
So, his crime was in that time frame. And, in the end, you know, did he believe what he was saying was true? To a large extent, he did. Now, there's something I spoke with yesterday who was very close to Lay who said that -- who had spoke with Lay last week. And they had had a discussion about this very thing.
And Lay told this man that he recognized why the people of the country thought there was someone who needed to be punished. He recognized that he had personally made some very serious mistakes, and he understood why people wanted to punish him. He just thought the jury was wrong.
JIM LEHRER: Mr. Boss -- and I will come back to you on the same question, Kurt, before we go -- is, did -- is there one question, essential, crucial question that Ken Lay took to his grave with him that would be -- that you would be curious to know about, that you think he would know that nobody else would know about this whole thing?
BARRY BOSS: Well, I think the -- the -- the big question is what you were just focusing on, which is, you know, what -- did he believe his own propaganda, or was he just trying to pull one over on the shareholders and on the -- on his friends and colleagues?
JIM LEHRER: That would be it.
Kurt, is that -- would that be the big question, you think, that he -- if you had one last question to ask him, what would it be, and you knew he was going to tell you the truth?
KURT EICHENWALD: The problem is, I have -- I have had the opportunity to ask him so many questions over the years...
JIM LEHRER: Yes.
KURT EICHENWALD: ... that -- that I probably asked them all.
JIM LEHRER: But there's nothing there that he took to the grave?
KURT EICHENWALD: Well, the one thing I -- I would want to know, because he's never actually said it, is, what are his thoughts about Jeff Skilling?
KURT EICHENWALD: Jeff Skilling was a man who transformed Enron. He -- he took it from, you know, a -- a fairly successful pipeline company to this huge financial enterprise.
And Lay turned over a lot of responsibility to -- to -- to Skilling. It was because of Jeff Skilling that Andy Fastow, the chief financial officer...
KURT EICHENWALD: ... who proved to be a criminal, came in.
JIM LEHRER: All right.
KURT EICHENWALD: He was the one who...
KURT EICHENWALD: ... who pushed for this man to be CFO.
KURT EICHENWALD: I just -- I would be curious to say, truthfully...
KURT EICHENWALD: ... what do you think of Jeff Skilling?
JIM LEHRER: What do you think of him?
All right. We have to leave it there. Thank you both very much.
BARRY BOSS: Thank you.
