NAMIBIA: Ozondjahe Safaris May 2009
I have returned from my second trip to Ozondjahe in three years, a 10-day plains game hunt, and the trip was fantastic. I felt like I was returning home from the moment we reached the main gate, an experience that was enhanced when we were met by the Ozondjahe staff. My major objectives on this hunt were black wildebeest and waterbuck. I was fortunate to take an exceptional waterbuck and a black wildebeest that I consider to be excellent. Despite the fact this was a two-on-one hunt, I also had several opportunities to take impala, gemsbok and kudu that were equal to熔r maybe a bit better than--the fine trophies I took a couple years ago (when I also successfully took a leopard). However, I voluntarily held out for something truly exceptional and enjoyed the hunt, although now I am having some second thoughts about a kudu I passed with a few days left in the hunt. We did see a gemsbok that fit the bill but could not close the deal on him. PH Francois Roberts is a good hunter and a great guy with whom to spend time in the field. My friend, on his first trip to Africa, harvested good kudu, gemsbok, blue wildebeest, impala, steenbok and warthog and had a great experience on his first African safari.

Congratulation Paul, look like you had a great time.
We are five guys planning for Namibia in 2011 and Ozondjahe is high on our list of posiible locations.
Can you fill in a bit more about what the terrain was like, the amount of game seen, as well as distances driven each day spotting for game?
After two trips to RSA (Limpopo / Northern Cape) we are looking for something different this time, and even though Ozondjahe is fenced, I understand that the areas are vast.

The terrain is mostly relatively level, with some rolling terrain and one large ridge (several miles long). They have areas that are heavy bush to fairly open. They have very good impala, a good number of very good blackwildebeest, some great waterbuck. I saw a lot of good but few great kudu, gemsbok and blue wildebeest. Mountain (Hartmann's) zebra are fair in number but difficult to locate and stalk--it may take 2-3 days to find if they are priority. Plains (Burchell) zebra are more common. Duiker, steenbok, warthog, and red hartebeest are common, as are ostrich, baboons and jackal. They have some blesbok and springbok but not much in trophy class when I was there. Game is plentiful and can be very close to the lodge--you literally drive out of the lodge compound and can see game. My first trip I took a very good kudu and a great impala both only 15-20 minutes from the lodge. There is no time lost driving long distances to a hunting area--you are hunting immediately when you leave the compound. If you are interested in incidental birdwatching, it is fantastic. Their basic schedule is to hunt abouit 5 hours in the morning, back to the lodge for lunch and a couple hour break, and another 3-4 hours late afternoon or evening until dark. The property is so huge you don't hunt the same general area two days in a row unless you saw a good animal and make the decision to go back and look for it. The high fence is not a problem--I had the same question and concern before my first trip there. Most of the time you are hunting literally miles from the fence. The animals have plenty of territory to hide and evade--most of them have probably never seen the fence. Despite the perimeter fence, I consider the experience there true "fair chase". The accomodations (individual bungalows for two hunters) and food, etc. are great. I have not hunted So. Africa, but I absolutely love Namibia and Ozondjahe. You can't go wrong with them, in my opinion. Paul Brisso

Gosia Wozniacka and Tracie Cone / The Associated Press
DUNLAP, Calif. — The Seattle-area intern fatally mauled by a lion at a central California exotic animal park loved lions and tigers since childhood, "was absolutely fearless" around them and hoped to work at a zoo after her six-month internship, her father said late Wednesday.
Authorities say this lion, a 4-year-old male African lion named Couscous, killed a female intern-volunteer on Wednesday at Cat Haven, a private wild animal park in Dunlap, Calif. This Oct. 12, 2012, photo was provided by JP Marketing.
"She was at ease with those big cats," Paul Hanson, a Seattle-area attorney, said of his daughter, Dianna Hanson, 24. "They liked her."
Hanson told The Associated Press that he dropped his daughter off Jan. 2 at Cat Haven, about 45 miles east of Fresno.
"It was just a dream job for her," he said, adding that she gave him a little tour and showed him the lion Cous Cous, which authorities said killed her.
Hanson said his daughter had worked with big cats before but told him she would not be allowed to go in the lion cage.
On Wednesday, deputies found the woman severely injured and still lying inside the male African lion's enclosure with the lion nearby, said Fresno County sheriff's Lt. Bob Miller. Another park worker couldn't lure the lion into another pen, so deputies shot and killed it to safely reach the wounded woman, but she died at the scene, he said.
Cat Haven founder and executive director Dale Anderson cried as he read a one-sentence statement about the fatal mauling at the private zoo he has operated since 1993.
Investigators were trying to determine why the intern was inside the enclosure and what might have provoked the attack, sheriff's Sgt. Greg Collins said. The facility is normally closed on Wednesdays, and only one other worker was there when the mauling happened, he said.
California Department of Fish and Wildlife spokeswoman Janice Mackey said she was unaware if any state regulations would prohibit an employee from entering an exotic animal's enclosure.
The lion, Cous Cous, a 4-year-old male, had been raised at Cat Haven since it was a cub, said Tanya Osegueda, a spokeswoman for Project Survival, the nonprofit that operates the animal park.
Since the 100-acre facility just west of Kings Canyon National Park opened two decades ago, it has housed numerous big cats, including tigers, leopards and other exotic species. It is permitted to house exotic animals by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and is regulated as a zoo by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Results of the last 13 USDA inspections show no violations dating back to March 2010. The most recent inspection was Feb. 4.
Despite state regulations requiring annual inspections, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife most recently inspected the facility in January 2011, when the inspector found it in "good condition" after checking animal health and features such as enclosures.
"We have to do the best we can with the resources we're provided," said department spokeswoman Jordan Traverso. "Regardless of whether it was inspected, that wouldn't have prevented this from happening."
Cat Haven's current "restricted species" permit, which expires in November, states the park was authorized to house 47 animals but had only 28. The animals must be used for scientific or educational purposes.
Actress Tippi Hedren, who founded the Shambala Preserve in Southern California, home to 53 seized or abandoned exotic pets, expressed dismay over the killing of the lion.
"It wasn't the lion's fault. It's the human's fault always," Hedren said.
Nicole Paquette, vice president of the Humane Society of the United States, said the victim of Wednesday's attack should never have been in the enclosure with the animal.
"These are big cats that are extremely dangerous, and they placed a volunteer in the actual cage with a wild animal," she said. "That should have never happened."

How immigrants are redefining 'American' in Southern California
Brown: Yes to California Dream Act, no to race and gender in college admissions
Photo by sea turtle/Flickr (Creative Commons)
While most of the attention was on the California Dream Act yesterday as today's bill-signing deadline loomed, a lesser-known but equally controversial California bill involving students of color met with a thumbs-down from Gov. Jerry Brown.
The bill, SB 185, would have allowed state universities to consider race, gender, ethnicity, and national origin in undergraduate and graduate admissions, provisions that were seen by some as conflicting with Proposition 209, a 1996 state initiative that prohibited the use of affirmative action in public institutions.
UC Berkeley's Daily Californian quoted from a message sent by Brown to state Senate members yesterday after he vetoed the bill:
"Signing this bill is unlikely to impact how Proposition 209 is ultimately interpreted by the courts; it will just encourage the 209 advocates to file more costly and confusing lawsuits," he wrote in the message.

Hi everyone,
We're feeding our little newborn with nursettes at the moment but we're looking to move to powder in the not too distant future. I know I need to boil the water but I wondered if anyone knew of any research done comparing the use of nonstick pots to those without the coating?
Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Ryan's Dad
I don't boil my water but I do use bottled water for our babies. We have a bottle warmer that works well and try to give the baby a bottle as close to room temp as possible.
That's a nice idea also AnswerDad03..
ryansDad13-I'm not aware of any research about nonstick pots/regular pans. Might be an interesting thing to study! Like AnswerDad said, you can use distilled water in big jugs that is fairly cheap if you want to skip the whole boiling process. Good luck!
I havent heard anything about nonstick pots. But if you feel uncomfortable, try a stainless steel pot instead.

New Report Urges More Technologies
That Address Social and Environmental Concerns
Washington, DC — Developing countries need more
inventors and innovators—men and women who are committed to
tackling poverty through the invention and application of new technologies.
That is one of the conclusions of a new report prepared by the
Lemelson-MIT Program, with support from the National Science Foundation.
The report says that while the economies of developing countries
will benefit from technological innovation, these should be inventive
solutions that serve both social and environmental goals as well
as market demand.
"Creating economic opportunity and long-term stability in
developing countries cannot be a matter of "business as usual,"
says Julia Marton-Lefèvre, executive director of LEAD International
and one of the authors of the report. "To date, the fruits
of human ingenuity have bypassed some three billion people—the
world's poorest. Even the advances in standards of living
that invention has provided for some have caused irreversible harm
to the global environment. We need to focus on developing sustainable
solutions to alleviate current problems and create future benefits
for a global society."
The report is the culmination of a year-long study by 56 leading
experts drawn from the worlds of invention, research, business,
not-for-profits and the media. The group was charged with the task
of reviewing the pillars of invention and applying what we know
about inventive ingenuity to solving some of our most pressing global
The Lemelson-MIT report concludes that the incentives for invention
and innovation for sustainable development—worldwide—are
low, and barriers are high. To address these areas of need, the
report makes several recommendations. These include:
top of page
Looking forward, the report advocates a focus on invention and
innovation that will allow people around the world to enjoy a better
quality of life, without compromising the ability of future generations
to do the same.
"Globalization has made it impossible to consider this issue
from anything other than an international perspective," says
Ehsan Masood, UK science journalist and another of the report's
authors. "Obstacles to inventiveness need to be tackled around
the globe if we are to seriously move towards sustainable development.
Both developed and developing countries need to focus on creating
new solutions that avoid the old trap of solving one problem and
creating another."
Complete findings from INVENTION: Enhancing inventiveness for
quality of life, competitiveness and sustainability will be released
at noon on Wednesday, April 21st at the National Press Club. The
report will be presented for review and discussion at an Invention
Assembly, Friday, April 23, at 9:30 a.m. at the National Academy
of Engineering.
The Assembly will present an integrated summary of the findings
from five workshops comprising the invention study. Leading scholars
and practitioners will examine the topic of invention from the perspectives
of history, cognitive science, education, intellectual property
law and sustainable development. Assembly participants will provide
feedback on their report and public policy recommendations.
For more information on the final report or the Invention Assembly
please visit:
Each year, the Lemelson-MIT awards program honors both established
and rising inventors, for their ingenuity, creativity and contribution
to American invention. This year's Lemelson-MIT Awards Ceremony
will take place on the evening of Friday, April 23rd at the National
Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C. The awards ceremony will
serve as the capstone to the Invention Assembly and will honor the
2004 winners of the $500,000 Lemelson-MIT Prize and the $100,000
Lemelson-MIT Lifetime Achievement Award.
Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, the Lemelson-MIT Program
aims to raise the stature of inventors and provide resources and
inspiration to make invention and innovation more accessible to
today's youth. It accomplishes this mission through outreach activities
and annual awards, including the world's largest prize for invention—the
$500,000 Lemelson-MIT Prize.
Jerome H. Lemelson, one of the world's most prolific inventors,
and his wife, Dorothy, founded the Lemelson-MIT Program in 1994
at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It is funded by The
Lemelson Foundation, a private philanthropy committed to honoring
the contributions of inventors, innovators and entrepreneurs, and
to inspiring ingenuity in others. More information on the Lemelson-MIT
Program is online at http://web.mit.edu/invent.

Gov. Robert Bentley today announced the approval of a statewide database of loans made by payday lenders, which offer quick cash but at relatively high interest rates. The goal of the database is to ensure lenders comply with state law and do not allow customers to borrow more than $500 at any one time.
Advocacy groups for the poor say the database will keep residents from incurring more debt than they can handle. However, members of the payday lending industry say the database will simply push consumers to use unregulated online loan businesses and force local lenders to lay off workers.
According to a Wednesday press release from the governor's office, the Alabama Banking Department issued the new regulations. The department will handle the database and is set to have it operational by January.
"These regulations will represent a step forward for both consumers and lenders in Alabama," John Harrison, superintendent of the state banking department, said in the press release. "These regulations offer an opportunity to help Alabama consumers avoid some particular problems related to payday loans."
Payday loan stores offer money based on a person's income. In Alabama, payday lenders are allowed to charge 400 percent annual interest rates on their loans, which equates to about $17.50 per $100 loaned. The lure of such businesses, however, is that they do not require customers to have good credit or bank accounts to receive loans, unlike traditional banks.
Anniston finance department records show there are 25 payday loan businesses in the city.
Kimble Forrister, executive director of Alabama Arise, said his organization was pleased with the plan for a statewide database. Arise is a non-partisan group that advocates for low-income residents.
"This corrects one of the worst loopholes in Alabama's payday loan law," Forrister said. "This is a great step forward."
Forrister said that though state law dictates payday lenders cannot issue loans to customers who already have $500 in existing payday debt, there has been no way to enforce it because there wasn't a statewide database tracking who had loans.
"Finally, the $500 limit will be enforceable," Forrister said. "People won't be able to go from store to store to get $500 from each one."
According to a study released in March by the Insight for Community Economic Development, payday lending establishments cost the U.S. economy $744 million in 2011, resulting in a net loss of more than 14,000 jobs. The study shows that in Alabama, the economy lost approximately $47.7 million in 2011 due to payday loans.
The study states that though payday lending generates some economic activity, those gains are less than the resulting losses, since the high interest rates reduce household spending.
The Insight Center is a California-based national research, consulting and legal organization that focuses on issues facing low-income communities.
Max Wood, president of Borrow Smart Alabama, a volunteer organization of 400 lenders in the state that works to educate consumers about payday businesses, said the database will not stop residents from seeking small loans but instead will hurt small business and could mean the loss of hundreds of jobs. Wood said that while some payday lenders are owned by large corporations, many in the state are locally owned.
"This is a slap in the face to small business," Wood said.
Wood said that in states that have enacted similar databases, the use of payday lending decreased between 50 percent and 70 percent on average.
"The volume in our stores will go down dramatically," Wood said. "That's going to cost jobs."
Wood said the database will not solve the problem of excessive debt, since consumers can just go to other loan sources, such as online lenders, which are unregulated.
"That will just make the situation worse, not better," Wood said.
Forrister said Alabama Arise's next step in regards to the payday lending industry is to focus on interest rates.
"We will be fighting to get that lowered," Forrister said.

Is 16 really the magic number in realignment game? More mail
Story Highlights
Superconferences may be the future, but few involved parties actually want them
Texas could easily become an independent if football were the only consideration
Plus: Oregon and Boise backlash, USC's cause for concern, Tech's wrinkle, more
|The Mandel Initiative
|Rich Rodriguez joins the show to preview Notre Dame-Michigan; Stewart and Mallory recap Week 1, preview Week 2 and answer your listener mail.
The 2011 season began amid an unusual backdrop. Last Saturday, less than an hour before the Nos. 3 and 4 teams in the county were set to kick off, media covering the LSU-Oregon game converged around Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott. "So," Scott joked, "are we here to talk about Oregon's gameplan tonight?" Umm, no.
It was a fascinating first weekend of football, but the game currently taking place off the field is proving equally mesmerizing.
Stewart: Why is the 16-team superconference the latest obsession? I can understand the desire to get to 12 and have the conference championship game, but why is 16 suddenly a magic number? It seems that to get to 16, almost every conference would have to take in teams that won't increase their television markets. Add to that the end of compelling rivalries (without any assurance that the new ones will catch on) and I wonder if the game is shooting itself in the foot?
-- Michael, Baton Rouge, La.
You're not alone, Michael. What's truly bizarre about the latest conference missile crisis is that as best as I can tell, almost no one (with the exception of Texas A&M) actually wants superconferences. Not the great majority of fans. Not the television networks (fewer leagues means more intense bidding wars). Not bowl executives. And while this may sound strange, not even the conferences themselves.
STAPLES: SEC accepts A&M; Baylor standing in way
For obvious reasons, most assume Scott is driving the superconference bus. He's the one who first put this chain of events into motion last summer, apparently stamping the number 16 onto every media member's forehead. But I listened carefully to his comments last Saturday, when he repeated his oft-used line that "we will see further consolidation [of conferences]" because of "instability in certain parts of the country." By which he means: Because the Big 12 is such a dysfunctional mess, the rest of us will end up absorbing its parts.
But much has changed since Scott's push for 16 last summer. At that time, Pac-10 expansion was directly tied to the league's impending television negotiations. I'm not sure even Scott would have predicted the league could land a $3 billion deal -- AND start its own network -- after solely adding Colorado and Utah. But now that it has, "We haven't felt one iota of need," Scott said. The league would be just fine staying at 12 teams. Really. Jon Wilner of the San Jose Mercury News reported Tuesday that Pac-12 presidents and chancellors do not want to expand. I've even been told that last year's Pac-16 plan wasn't as close to a done deal internally as was reported at the time. Still, Scott is probably going to tell his member schools: You don't pass on programs like Oklahoma and Texas. But Texas isn't keen on joining the Pac-12, with its equal revenue sharing and pooled network, and there's no guarantee the presidents would take the Oklahoma schools on their own.
Meanwhile, Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany says his league is happy where it is, and I believe him. "It's about quality, not quantity," he told the New York Times. Translation: There will always be a spot waiting for you, Notre Dame, but until then, we're not going add teams for the heck of it. And Tennessee chancellor Jimmy Cheek raised eyebrows Monday when he said that when SEC presidents and chancellors met last month, they made it clear "we would prefer to stay at 12." Seeing as they're about to go to 13 (and presumably eventually 14), Mike Slive apparently convinced the league getting into Texas was too good an opportunity to pass up.
If both the SEC and Pac-12 move to 14 or more, then it's every man for himself. The Big East plans to be aggressive and go after most or all of the Big 12's leftovers, largely to protect itself if the SEC or ACC comes raiding. The ACC isn't actively looking to expand but knows the SEC could poach one of its schools to accompany A&M. Essentially, we're watching a big nationwide stare-down, where no one wants to get caught blinking.
Stewart, the news that Oklahoma and Oklahoma State brought up this week led me to think that no team wants to deal with Texas anymore. It is clear that the Big 12 needs Texas, but does Texas really need the Big 12 besides the automatic BCS berth? I truly see Texas as becoming the next Notre Dame, able to carry their own network and BCS deal independent of what all the other Big 12 teams do. Thoughts?
-- Jim, Sterling, Va.
Independence is definitely one of the options Texas is pondering, but there's one big problem: Texas fields 17 athletic teams besides football, and they need a conference. Can you imagine trying to put together a 27-game basketball schedule as an independent? Or a 50-something game baseball schedule? That's why Notre Dame is in the Big East for all its other sports, Army and Navy in the Patriot League, BYU in the West Coast Conference. If the Big 12 dissolves, there's no logical landing spot for Texas' other teams. Do you think Rick Barnes wants to compete in the Mountain West? It's the biggest reason why Texas is still fighting to keep the Big 12 intact in some form.
My suggestion: Get the band back together. Re-create the Southwest Conference (mostly). Texas, Texas Tech, Houston, Rice, SMU, Baylor and maybe throw in UTEP and Tulsa. Only this time they'll call it the Longhorn Conference, and all games involving Texas will be shown on The Longhorn Network. The league probably won't get an AQ bid, but Texas won't need one. It will schedule Oklahoma, Notre Dame and BYU out of conference to impress the voters, and get its own qualification provision written into the BCS, a la the Irish. Problem solved.

AccuWeather sees potential for winter storm Sunday
AccuWeather reports another major winter storm could slam the East Coast this weekend as part of a disruptive series of storms . The storm would be part of a series of potentially major weather events through the end of February.
Part of the system was still over the northern part of the Pacific Ocean to start the week. Cold air is expected to plunge southward over the Central states, which could create a corresponding northward storm track along the Atlantic Seaboard. It could cause the storm to strengthen rapidly as it moves up from the South.

Good But
Jet packs and cloths need to be cheaper and there should be 1 more slot for gadgets so like an axample I can have flash the golden piggy and coin magnet it would be much funner nd more people would get the game and I have a lot of good ideas for close gadgets jet packs and I have an idea of a shop where you can buy a pet and it helps you like flash but diffrent animal and you get to choose the color of your animal!!!! Plus there should be a shop where you can creat your own jet pack your own cloths and all that it would make a big improvement more fun more happiness more joy and laughes there should also be a mall background for the shops and the stages when your playing it a mall background a bridge one A persons house one a pet shop one if I worked there I would make an a lot of improvements I will comment with more soon but I have one more idea if you do the pet thing make cloths and jetpacks!!!!!! 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
A great game but became way too overwhelming, with all the new gadgets, clothes, and devices. Keep it simple and actually DO something with the jet packs, like improve height off ground or drive faster to the ground. What's the point of coins if it doesn't help/improve anything? Personally, the missions only keep me playing. It entices me to play more, to keep playing day after day. Keep on building those missions and you might have a 5 star rating!! But well done, I enjoyed watching the scientists scampering around and suddenly getting zapped by the "zappers." Good job! ;) hold that place with the prize of being one of the most addictive games on the App Store. ;)
Very pleasant and entertaining
This game was one of the first games I haved played when I had my first ios device which was ipad 4. I played this game and I think it is very amusing. My gameplay became more enjoyable when I learned about the dog named flash as a gadget. I was so entertained with this dog barking at the scientist in the title screen of Jetpack Joyride. With the comforting music in the background in the title screen and the dog with barry, I say you deserve a 5 stars.

I just ran across the following article from a Longview, TX newspaper and the idea of using assistance or service dogs to help teach reading. We know how much service dogs help in rehabilitation hospitals and nursing homes and it seemed like an option that schools who have struggling readers might want to consider. Please see the article link below.. Let me know what you think about this idea?
Education assistance dogs help students with reading - Longview News-Journal: Local News
I think it is a wonderful idea! I know how Koby, my son's little beagle, looks at me like he understands every word I say when he is probably hearing "blah, blah, blah, Koby, blah, blah".
One teacher I know asked parents to have their children read to the family pet. Dogs, even turtles, can be very patient listeners. They don't criticize. They simply love the attention.
One librarian I know adopted a long-eared, white rabbit who sat in the library reading pit (a sunken area with comfortable seats) and listened to young readers.
Trained dogs who visit a classroom can be very helpful to struggling young readers. I'm all for what works!
I run the library in a school for children with average to gifted intelligence who have reading disabilities such as dyslexia. We have therapy dog visits all of the time. Our students love to sit and cuddle with the dogs and try to read to them. They have so much more patience when they are trying to read to one of the dogs than when they are just trying to read on their own.
Last year I purchased a star reader poster from Upstart. It has a place for the children to put their head through so that we can take pictures of our star readers. One of the dogs, Hawkeye, a golden lab spent so much time with the children that when the kindergarten class had their pictures taken we took one of him, too. Luckily he is a very patient dog and actually posed for us. He inspires the children to read. When they successfully read a book to Hawkeye they get a picture taken with Hawkeye and the book they read. Their class also gets to take him out to the playground at recess.
What a wonderful idea and that is a great picture of Hawkeye! In this age of digital pictures, this is an easy reward to implement. If one can't find the poster to buy, perhaps the art teacher or a gifted mom can paint one for the class.
Thank you for sharing your idea.
I'm so happy to hear about Hawkeye, and especially the positive influence he is having on the children. You know, of course, that service dogs are used for stroke victim who refuse to talk. It has been found that when the victims are left alone with a service dog, they will talk to him/her as has been captured on video tape.
Golden Retrievers and probably Labs can learn up to 300 words and sometimes more which means the dogs can increase their vocabulary also.
Thank you for sharing your library experience with us.
I cannot count the times, that my grandchildren have read to my GS-SD., and the Mini Schnauzer. Also, a friend of mine, that stayed here during the early stage of Alzheimer, would read to Sheba and Jack, as well as do the crossword puzzles with them. I would try to get her motivated to read the newspaper, a short book, or magazine, to no avail. As soon as the dogs sat next to her, she would start reading to them. Prior to staying at my home, she used to call them on the phone.
Sheba is my 100 LB German Shepherd Service Dog. Were it not for Sheba, I would not be back in college at 58 years old, and would be completely home-bound. I have no peripheral vision, My little one, Jack weighs 10 pounds, dripping wet, but acts like he is 10 feet tall. Jack, enjoys watching movies, and speaking on the phone. He says "I love you", when he speaks with my 90 year old mother, and other family. If Jack is not speaking, my mom will say"what's the matter Jack"? Jack reply's;"I don't know". He has quite the vocabulary, which I believe that he learned , while being read to or sitting on the children's lap's.
Sheba loves visiting the ALF's and nursing homes, going to Walmart once a month,and meeting approximately 50-100 new children at a time. Sheba has flown with me, to Texas, Ohio and PA. We have taken many road trips to visit family. Her other favorite place to go is Walgreens, where they keep plenty of doggie biscuits behind the counter for her. She will put her paws up, on the counter, when we go inside, kiss her favorite pharmacist Marty, receive her biscuits, then get a drink from the water fountain. She not only can find people, but she will also show me where we parked the Truck. She loves working, especially in a situation, when she can help a police officer (I have trained her, not to bite, but you would be surprised, at how well a 'bad guy', will stand perfectly still, as she sits and stares at him
Sheba saved us from drowning, in the ocean, when a tidal wave took she and I out to sea. If my sugar is dropping, she will let me know, 15 minutes to a half an hour before I even feel a symptom. After alerting me, she will find the juice aisle, and nudge the apple juice boxes with her nose. At home, she will go to the fridge, to let me know that I need to check my blood sugar, and drink some juice. She will wake me up, and let me know if my blood pressure, or sugar is out of whack, as she either nudges my glucose monitor, or the B/P cuff.. Most things, that she does regarding my health, she does instinctively. She never seizes to amaze me.
Therapy Dogs are an outstanding resource for helping people learn to read. The Lewis School of Princeton has a program called C.A.R.E., which stands for Children and Animals Realizing Education. Through our program we have learned that therapy dogs have an innate ability to sense when a child is reaching his or her frustration level. As a C.A.R.E. team member, our Certified Therapy Dogs are trained to offer support and comfort to students who have reached this point. When a C.A.R.E. dog senses this emotion, he or she will assist the student by quietly approaching him or her, often placing his head in the child's lap. By this simple action, they are supporting the child and letting him or her know that he or she is loved. The child may take a moment to pet the dog, which studies have shown calms the student immediately. When the student begins to work again, it is usually with renewed vigor and faith in himself.
I have attached the Program Overview if you are interested in learning more.
The Enoch Pratt Library in Baltimore has conducted what they call Paws to Read activities in the community. They've got a really cute Flickr photo stream with pictures of some of their events. More events are scheduled for the Fall. They work with a local organization called Pets on Wheels.
There is research on this.. Dogs CAN make a difference! There is also some amazing stuff out there about how autistic children benefit when they start engaging and interacting with dogs. I've seen videos and was speechless at the changes I saw in the child.
All I know is that when we have the Reading Night program at school, the service dogs are the biggest draw. It doesn't seem to matter the student's reading level- they love to read to the dogs. And one of their special dogs was old (and deaf)- but he and the kids loved the reading.
In my district, second grade teachers put together a grant that enabled them to have service dogs join them in the school library once a week for a "read aloud". The children were so excited and energized by this opportunity. When I asked teachers about this, they said students gained some fluency, but most especially they built an increased enjoyment for books and reading. I would also imagine that this helped to build their reading stamina, as well...

Having been away from the Linux scene for a while, I recently took a look at a newer version of Linux, SUSE Enterprise Linux Version 11.3, which is representative of the latest feature sets from the Linux 3.0 et seq kernel available to the entre Linux community, including SUSE, Red Hat, Canonical and others. It is apparent, both from the details on SUSE 11.3 and from perusing the documentation on other distribution providers, that Linux has continued to mature nicely as both a foundation for large scale-out clouds as well as a strong contender for the kind of enterprise workloads that previously were only comfortable on either RISC/UNIX systems or large Microsoft Server systems. In effect, Linux has continued its maturation to the point where its feature set and scalability begin to look like a top-tier UNIX from only a couple of years ago.
Among the enterprise technology that caught my eye:

A Gentleman of History
In war or peace, Winston Churchill's cigars were never far from his hand.
Peter Welsh
From the Print Edition:
Linda Evangelista, Autumn 95
(continued from page 4)
Churchill recognized that such a course would mean the enslavement of Britain along with the rest of Europe. It simply could not be permitted to happen. So, on May 28, in a brilliant political coup de grace, Churchill forced the issue with his ministers and in one rhetorical flourish put to rest all cowardly defeatism. Martin Gilbert recounts this historic meeting in his unrivaled one-volume biography, Churchill: A Life. After admitting to his cabinet that he had weighed "whether it was part of my duty to consider entering into negotiations with That Man," Churchill next listed everything that would befall Britain in consequence. He then spoke with fire in his eyes: "I am convinced that every man of you would rise up and tear me down from my place if I were for one moment to contemplate parley or surrender. If this long island story of ours is to end at last, let it end only when each one of us lies choking in his own blood upon the ground." The ministers were instantly united. "I am sure," Churchill later wrote, "that every Minister was ready to be killed quite soon, and have all his family and possessions destroyed, rather than give in."
Following the meeting of May 28, three events stand out as pivotal in the defeat of Germany in the Second World War: the air battle over Britain in the summer of 1940, the entry of America into the war and Hitler's invasion of Russia in 1941. Churchill understood the profound significance of each of these events as they arose. In preparation for the Battle of Britain, Churchill said, "Hitler knows he must break us on this island or lose the war." Churchill also well understood that the air Battle of Britain was the prelude to a cross-channel invasion by the German army. He hoped to defeat the German Luftwaffe over Britain and thereby prevent a land invasion, but, he told the public, "should the invader come to Britain...we shall defend every village, every town, and every city. The vast mass of London itself, fought street by street, could easily devour an entire hostile army. And we would rather see London laid in ruins and ashes than that it should be tamely and abjectly enslaved." In the event, such sacrifice was not necessary. The Royal Air Force successfully defended Britain.
The successful defense of Britain, however, was not sufficient to win the war. The eventual intervention of the United States was necessary. And equally important was Hitler's unprovoked invasion of Russia. On June 22, 1941, the first day of the invasion, many of Churchill's colleagues believed that the Russians would be defeated quickly. Churchill saw matters differently. Gilbert writes, "Churchill listened to their [his colleagues'] arguments, then closed the discussion with the words, 'I will bet you a Monkey to a Mousetrap that the Russians are still fighting and fighting victoriously, two years from now.'" "Monkey" and "Mousetrap" were gambling terms. In plain terms, Churchill was offering odds of 500 to 1 that the Russians would be fighting victoriously two years after Hitler's invasion.
The Russians did indeed hold out, and the following spring, Churchill mocked Hitler in one of his radio broadcasts for the troubles the Germans were having in Russia: "Thus he drove the youth and manhood of the German nation forward into Russia. Then Hitler made his second grand blunder. He forgot about the winter. There is a winter, you know, in Russia. For a good many months the temperature is apt to fall very low. There is snow, there is frost and all that. Hitler forgot about this Russian winter. He must have been very loosely educated. We all heard about it at school. But he forgot it. I have never made such a bad mistake as that."
All of the necessary elements combined in due course, under the careful command of Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin, to produce final victory in Europe on May 8, 1945. Two weeks after VE Day, the Labour Party in England refused to participate in the wartime coalition government and Churchill was, consequently, obliged to call for a general election. Two months later, Churchill was voted out of office as prime minister. As he wrote in his memoirs, "All our enemies having surrendered unconditionally or being about to do so, I was immediately dismissed by the British electorate from all further conduct of their affairs." This monumental act of ingratitude was met by Churchill with the utmost graciousness. On the day of his defeat, Churchill expressed his gratitude to the public: "I thank the British people for many kindnesses shown towards their servant."
The years after the war were relatively quiet for Churchill. He did return as prime minister to serve from 1951 to 1955. And he devoted his energies to seeking a "summit" (he coined the term) and an understanding with the Soviets. But his time after the Second World War was mainly spent in the more leisurely manner that he spent in the years prior to the war. He was often at Chartwell and spent much of his time writing and painting. Painting was a tremendous consolation to Churchill in the twilight of his life. As he wrote in Thoughts and Adventures, "Happy are the painters, for they shall not be lonely. Light, color, peace and hope, will keep them company to the end, or almost the end, of the day."
Churchill was also as active as ever as a writer in the postwar years. He wrote his massive six-volume history of the Second World War, and was awarded the Nobel prize for literature in 1953 for his collected works and speeches. He also completed his four-volume A History of the English-Speaking Peoples. Churchill continued to enjoy life, as well. He had plenty of friends and companions. His cigar smoking did not abate considerably with the onset of old age. Nor did his drinking. And on this steady diet of Champagne, tobacco and good friends, Churchill lived to the very ripe old age of 90. He died on January 10, 1965.
Winston Churchill was the rarest of men. He was courageous, commanding and wise. He was a man of great self-command and self-discipline. But he was also a man of unapologetic epicurean tastes. He combined boundless energy and concentration with a wonderful zest for life to an extent that is rarely, if ever, seen today. As one biographer, Robert Lewis Taylor, wrote in 1955 of Churchill's face, "It is the strong well-nourished face of a man who long ago decided to drink what he pleased, gorge at will, suit himself in any way it seemed convenient, and in general to follow lines of self-centered behavior popularly supposed to stamp the countenance with a look of weakness. It is a free enterprise face, somewhat gothic in feeling." And even today, Churchill's "heroic visage stands out in healthy contrast among the cautious, remorseful drinkers"--and smokers--among us.

text: Welcome to No-Playerlist Mafia Because people actually did sign up. Approved by billymills and LightWolf Those rules you haven't read (Move your mouse to reveal the content) Those rules you haven't read (open) Those rules you haven't read (close) For Players: 1. There is no posted playerlist. Kind of the point of the game. There are as many as 30 players. 2. You may not share role PMs during Night 0. Starting on Day 1 you may share your role PMs freely. However, no screenshots. Also, no impersonating hosts/other players. 3. You may not talk to any dead player about the game. Other than that, you can talk to everyone, but you should definitely exercise caution when talking to other people. That friend who's "not playing" may just be a member of the other team... If you're dying to talk about the game, talk to the hosts. 4. Every Day will last 48 hours initially, and may be shortened to 24 hours at the hosts' discretion. During the Day you should post "lynch <user>" or an equivalent in bold. "No lynch" is also valid, though stupid. Whoever receives the most votes will be killed in the lynch. A tie will result in a "No lynch." Any votes cast for users who are not playing will not be counted. It doesn't matter if you edit your original post or make a new one, but only have one bold at the end of the Day or your vote will not be counted. Votes cast for someone not in the game will count as "No lynch." Also, there might be Day actions. 5. Every Night will last 48 hours initially, and may be shortened at the hosts' discretion. During the Night you should PM both hosts whatever your action(s) for the Night are. We will also accept actions on IRC. You may also choose to send a PM saying you are idling during the Night. If you have a Night action and do not send in a PM, you will be subbed out. 6. There are items in this game.There may be resurrects and recruits. Basically, anything's possible. 7. If you're inactive in this game it'll be pretty awful. If you're not going to be able to be active, please just don't sign up. Any time a substitution is made it will be announced in the thread, but the names of the players subbed out and in will not be listed. 8. IRC access is practically necessary for mafia on Smogon, so try to get on IRC at least once a cycle. Joining the game's channel is NOT mandatory (though encouraged, because it should be fun/chaotic), but make sure to contact the hosts privately if you choose to not join the channel. If you have any questions about IRC, ask the hosts for assistance and they'll ask someone who actually knows something about IRC. 9. Trying something new this time, and the way PMs are written will be purposely varied, as well as possible inclusion of grammatical/spelling errors. So if your PM has something minor like that wrong with it, or you see that someone else's PM has problems, don't make too much of it, because it might be us trolling you. 10. If you do not have an info role, you will only receive results if your action failed because of another player's action. 11. Please make sure the person you are asking is eligible before you ask them whether they are in this game. We don't need this being a huge drain on the community. If you consistently pester people who are ineligible to be in the game, or who are on the "definitely not playing" list, then you may be godkilled. 12. If you are subbed out of the game for any reason, you and your sub will both be able to be targeted with any roles. Say MagicMaster87 subs out and Kannon takes his place. Users will now be able to target either MagicMaster87 or Kannon, and it will have the same effect. 13. To pass an item, PM askaninjask and Daenym "NX - Pass <item> to <user>." If you pass an item to a person not in the game, the item will go into Limbo. If you are nightkilled or lynched while holding an item, it will be sent to Limbo. At night any player with a night action may PM askaninjask and Daenym "Getting <item> from Limbo." This will replace your normal night action, but will have the same priority that your normal action would have. For Non-Players: With any luck, we'll have plenty more signups than needed. But if you didn't get in, don't worry! Obviously, because there is no playerlist, only the hosts know who is actually playing. Therefore, users who are not in the game can still do plenty. 1. If you did not get in, you will not receive a Role PM or any other form of notification. Once "All PMs have been sent" is posted in the game thread, that's all the notification you'll need. 2. Anyone who signed up, either publicly in the thread or privately via PM/IRC, is allowed to post in the game thread. However, if you do not add anything to the game with your posts you will lose this privilege. 3. You are welcome to create a fake Role PM. The hosts will help you with making your fake in whatever ways we can. Some sample PMs will be posted in the thread to give you an idea of what is expected. 4. Any non-players are also valid subs if we are forced to sub out a player. Substitutions will be announced in the game thread, but who is being subbed out and in will not. Players who sub in will also not know who they subbed in for. 5. Everyone, whether you signed up or not, is encouraged to join the IRC channel for the game. In the event of subbing someone out, we will most likely try to find someone on IRC. 6. Possibly the most important thing, if you are a non-player but you feel you are having a significant effect on the game (such as pretending to be part of the village or a neutral or otherwise), definitely let the hosts know about it, since that's hilarious. 7. Don't forget to think outside the box. Just because you're not "playing" doesn't mean there isn't a lot you can do. We know you haven't read the rules, but since there's some new stuff you might want to. Oh, it kind of goes without saying, but if you make any channels/spreadsheets for this game please add us. We're both pretty excited to see them. firstname.lastname@example.com email@example.com To the casual observer, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. It was a small field on the edge of a forest. The grass everywhere was tall, and the trees were just dense enough that it was tough to see anything inside the forest. Other than a barely noticeable breeze, everything was still and silent. But to the experienced eye, one could notice certain movements. A shadow flashes past here, a leaf rustles on the ground there. The light seems slightly refracted in that corner, and then it's gone. These movements were primarily caused by the inhabitants of this place, the Invisibles. The Invisibles are a diverse community, one that has recruited members from all around the Earth and beyond to create a set of invisible houses on an invisible street in the middle of an unfortunately quite visible field. However, not all is well in the Invisibles' town. A small but capable group of individuals has been alerted to the presence of this invisible village at the edge of the forest and they wish to destroy it. These people will stop at nothing to take over this town and use these invisible technologies for themselves. They call themselves the Assassins. They aren't invisible, but they might as well be, as these men have been effectively trained in stealth. There's a political movement rising in this city as well. While the citizens are happy with their current way of life, those in power are upset at their lack of additional power. These men in power have created for themselves the Stalinist Coalition for a Better Tomorrow. Nobody has ever seen or conversed with a member of this mysterious new political party. Nobody knows quite how many people are in it. There is one member of this invisible town who is not invisible (at least, there was one). The Alchemist had agreed to a deal in which he made goods for the townsmen and in exchange he was permitted to live in the invisible town. After an unfortunate accident involving one of his creations, he was banished from the town by those in charge. After losing everything, he hopes now to come back and get revenge on those who shunned him. In unrelated news, Daenym has died in an unfortunate hunting accident. He was: Then askaninjask tried to join, but someone had already put Stealth Rocks up on the field, so he's boned. The Playerlist: Hah.
