Wildlife biologist Matt Smith is hopeful restrictions will reduce any adverse effects haying and grazing of Conservation Reserve Program lands will have on wildlife.
That's especially true on so-called CP-25 land, or "rare and declining habitat" Those CRP acres designed to help the likes of lesser prairie chickens.
"I don't think it's going to be that detrimental because they're limited to only haying half" of the acres in the program.
Smith, the farm bill liaison for the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism, said the agency came out in support of opening up the CP-25 land because of the extreme adverse conditions farmers and ranchers are seeing this year.
"They're the one that provide the habitat in the first place," he said.
It's the first time CP-25 land has been opened up for either grazing or haying, but the depth of the drought and calls from congressional leaders pushed that possibility forward.
It's not a big amount of land, but most of the CP-25 acres are in Kansas.
Out of the 1.6 million acres in that category, more than 725,000 acres are in Kansas.
Not everyone was in favor of opening the acres haying and grazing.
Audubon of Kansas Executive Director Ron Klataske said opening the acres "could be astronomically costly for wildlife, conservation programs and elements of the economy that are dependent on wildlife for as many years as it will take to recover the wildlife populations."
The fields in CP-25 might be "all there is in terms of survival habitat in significant landscapes for a wide range of wildlife species."
He went on to say lesser prairie chicken recovery in Kansas -- the only place where that's the case -- is a result of CRP in southwest Kansas.
He also points to a letter from congressional leaders, including Kansas Sens. Pat Roberts and Jerry Moran and Reps. Mike Pompeo, Kevin Yoder and Lynn Jenkins, urging the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service not to list the lesser prairie chicken as endangered.
The federal wildlife agency is expected to make its recommendation on that bird's status sometime this fall, a deadline set as part of a court settlement concerning a number of different species of wildlife.
The decision to release the CP-25 land, he said, could make it likely the bird could become threatened or endangered if the drought persists.
"The proposed action of releasing additional CRP fields, especially CP-25 fields, for haying is likely to make it imperative that the Fish and Wildlife Service make a finding that the species is threatened or endangered," Klataske said.
"Hopefully, this is all going to be a short-term thing," Smith said of the drought.
That's why he's hoping the effects on lesser prairie chickens will be minimal.
In fact, he's hopeful that winter or spring moisture might prompt a flush of growth in the grass.
"Impact to the chicken might be felt more next year if we don't get moisture and get some regrowth," Smith said.
Cover conditions in the CRP acres have been suffering as a result of the drought anyway.
"Lesser prairie chickens have been on the landscape for a long time and they've seen drought over the years," he said.
He thinks the restrictions imposed on haying will be enough to protect the birds. In addition to cutting only half of the field, restrictions include leaving at least 5 inches of cover and developing a conservation plan to protect species.

To all half-hearted baseball fans: You can't ignore the moment. Surely you've noted all the caps on the streets bearing Yankees insignia. If you're ever going to identify with a team, now is the time.
And you on the East Side have the place to go and buy your team wearables. The Yankee Clubhouse is located at 110 E. 59th Street, between Park and Lexington Avenues. It's a store. (To help some of you place it, the purveyor of Yankees branded merchandise is next door to Argosy Books).
Here's fair warning to Yankee fans: Gregorius team shirts are priced at $140.
Didi Gregorius is man of the hour
For those of you who don't know, Didi Gregorius is the Yankee slugger who hit two home runs on Wednesday night, delivering the win against the Indians. Everyone thought the Indians had it locked.
So it was Gregorius who powered the Yanks to rally from an 0-2 deficit to winning the best-of-five series. Thanks to him, the Yankees are headed for the American League Championship Series.
Gregorius basics: Didi is a Dutch baseball professional now playing shortstop for the Yankees. Those desiring stats will find them here.
The high price of fandom
We met an agitated woman loading up on Gregorius shirts. We said, "Do you know they cost $140 each?" She replied, "I can't go home without them."
We asked the woman working behind the counter whether business was brisk these days. She didn't quite answer the question, but you could see where her mind was centered. "We're getting there." she said. "Once we put away Houston it will be good."
That's Houston as in Houston Astros. The first game takes place on Friday.
We're getting there. Once we put away Houston it will be good"
So there you have it, sports fans or not. We did not leave empty-handed but took home a handsome generic team shirt. Only $40 it was.

Blue-Ribbon Panel To Set Standards For Reform Models
Nonprofit and for-profit organizations today are peddling dozens of "whole school" designs intended to improve student achievement. Now, a blue-ribbon panel has taken on the task of helping schools separate the wheat from the chaff.
The panel, created by New American Schools, a nonprofit group in Arlington, Va., plans to set "standards of quality" for providing schoolwide assistance. The aim is to help consumers decide which designs and providers would be right for their schools and which are most likely to yield results.
The 16-member panel, which includes the heads of national organizations representing teachers, principals, school boards, superintendents, governors, and major employers, expects to complete its work and release a set of standards in June.
More than 10 percent of public schools nationwide, educating more than 5 million students, now have contracts with providers of such design-based assistance. The offerings range from nonprofit models such as Success for All, developed at Johns Hopkins University, to the for-profit Edison Schools Inc.
"We believe that comprehensive school reform needs some better definitions of what quality is to help schools make selections," said Donald M. Feuerstein, the president of New American Schools, which itself supports the creation and dissemination of model programs.
"We don't want to make comparative ratings of designs," he added. Rather, the panel will try to identify criteria that, if met, indicate a design has reasonable objectives, the capacity to deliver, and proven results.
Over the past decade, New American Schools has awarded $150 million to support the development of seven whole-school designs. This year, Congress has appropriated $170 million to subsidize the adoption of such designs by schools.
In addition, Title I, the main federal program for disadvantaged students, has placed more emphasis in recent years on the use of whole-school strategies. And some districts and states have also proposed the adoption of such designs for their schools.
"People are so committed to reform and are reaching out," said Joe B. Wyatt, the chairman of the new panel and the chancellor of Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn. "So there's a real danger of spending a lot of time and money and not getting the job done, and we really can't afford to do that."
New Design Added
Milton Goldberg, the executive vice president of the National Alliance of Business and a representative to the panel, said the idea of drafting a set of criteria to help schools choose among whole-school designs makes sense. "The trick, of course, is to do this well," he added.
New American Schools has commissioned the American Productivity & Quality Center, a nonprofit group based in Houston, to work with the panel to gather information and help shape the standards. The center works with schools and businesses on strategies for improving work processes and performance.
Late last month, NAS hosted a conference of more than 30 providers of design- based assistance to get their views on the form and substance such quality standards should take. The blue-ribbon panel, which met for the first time last week, plans to hold public-awareness and comment sessions this spring.
New American Schools has already drafted a set of standards to facilitate its own work that will serve as a starting point for the panel's discussions.
In a related announcement late last month, NAS said it had added a new design to its portfolio. Turning Points, a program focused on middle schools, is one of eight now advocated by New American Schools, and the first addition beyond the original design teams the group has supported since 1991.
Turning Points was created by the Boston-based Center for Collaborative Education, a nonprofit group.
The other members of the standards panel are:
Anne L. Bryant, executive director, National School Boards Association; Gaston Caperton, president, College Board; Bob Chase, president, National Education Association; Sandra Feldman, president, American Federation of Teachers; Vincent L. Ferrandino, executive director, National Association of Elementary School Principals; Chester E. Finn Jr., president, Thomas B. Fordham Foundation; James W. Guthrie, director, Peabody Center for Education Policy, Vanderbilt University;
Kati Haycock, executive director, Education Trust; Roberts T. Jones, president and chief executive officer, National Alliance of Business; Diana Lam, superintendent, Providence, R.I., schools; Floretta Dukes McKenzie, president, McKenzie Group; Raymond G. Scheppach, executive director, National Governors' Association; Gerald N. Tirozzi, executive director, National Association of Secondary School Principals; Jane Walters, former Tennessee commissioner of education; William Wulf, president, National Academy of Engineering.

Celebrate Recovery
You may be thinking that recovery is just for people with alcohol or drug problems. The truth is that only one third of the people attending Celebrate Recovery (CR) are dealing with chemical dependencies.
Many of us have created ungodly and unhealthy methods for handling life. Regardless of your struggle, whether it's emotional, relational, financial, spiritual, sexual or whatever, Celebrate Recovery will teach you to make the healing choices that will help you become the person God created you to be. If you have hurt that haunts your heart, hang-ups that cause you pain or habits that have messed up your life Celebrate Recovery is the place for you.
How it started?
Celebrate Recovery started 1991 at Saddleback Church. At that time the church was meeting at a high school gymnasium. After John Baker was unable to share openly about Jesus Christ in his secular recovery meetings and was uncomfortable sharing about his struggle with alcohol in his men's Bible study, John wrote Pastor Rick the now famous concise 13-page single space letter outlining the vision God had given him for Celebrate Recovery. Pastor Rick said, "Great John, do it."
The first night 45 people showed up and Celebrate Recovery was born. With only four groups, men's and women's chemical dependency and men's and women's codependency, the ministry has grown from those four groups to the twenty open share groups we have today. Thousands of people have gone through the workbooks and are now serving in CR and the church. Celebrate Recovery has become the number one outreach at Saddleback Church, with over 70% of its members come from outside the church.
The first ten years were the birth stage of Celebrate Recovery and now God is calling us to take it to the World. There are now thousands of groups around the world and growing. We are part of a movement that is bringing hurting and broken in the Church to the healing power of Jesus Christ.
The purpose of Journey South Bay's Celebrate Recovery ministry is to fellowship and celebrate God´s healing power in our lives through the "8 Recovery Principles." This experience allows us to "be changed." We open the door by sharing our experiences, strengths and hopes with one another. In addition, we become willing to accept God´s grace in solving our lives´ problems. By working and applying these Biblical principles, we begin to grow spiritually. We become free from our addictive, compulsive and dysfunctional behaviors. This freedom creates peace, serenity, joy and most importantly, a stronger personal relationship with God and others. As we progress through the program we discover our personal, loving and forgiving Higher Power - Jesus Christ, the one and only true Higher Power.
For more information about Journey South Bay's Celebrate Recovery, send us an e-mail or call us at (310) 947-2938 (extension 2 for Men and extension 3 for Women).
Currently Sunday night Celebrate Recovery meetings are on hiatus during church renovations, with exception to on-going step study. For questions or more information call (310) 947-2938 (extension 2 for Men and extension 3 for Women).
Is it a safe place?
Celebrate Recovery is a place where you can... - share, find refuge, belong- give and receive caring- practice respect- be assured of confidentiality- take off your mask- find an accountability partner- grow strong again- learn vital life lessons- dare to take healthy risks- decide to change your life
The issues' group is not a place where you can practice selfish control of others, get therapy, keep secrets, look for dating partners, judge others, or find a quick fix.
Why it works
Perhaps you are wondering why Celebrate Recovery is so successful in hundreds of places across the land. There are three reasons why this approach is special:
1. Jesus Christ is the "Higher Power".2. Issue Groups are led by real people who have been through recovery with Him.3. The Principles and methods applied are built upon Biblical truths.
Who needs it?
Anyone can participate in Celebrate Recovery:
- Anyone ready to start a new life- The churched and the un-churched- Men and women- The addicted and their families- The guilty, sad, or compulsive- Anyone in need of recovery

We're live here at Summer League in Las Vegas to see if the Clippers can find a few players to invite to training camp. While there are a lot of nice talents at Summer League, finding a legitimate center may be tough due to positional scarcity.
Of the 452 players invited to the Orlando and Las Vegas Summer Leagues, only 76 had the assigned possibility to play center in at least some capacity (16.8%). Of the 76 forward/centers, 41 were positionally designated exclusively as center (9%). Of course, teams fill spots based on their regular season roster needs, but even in summer league the waning of centers is in full effect.
In other news, it's been reported that Willie Green has signed with the Clippers, but those reports have since been retracted. We'll keep you posted on the potential reunion of Chris Paul and Willie Green as soon as we hear more.

Sometimes I wonder what could have been had different choices been made, or if there had been other circumstances. Why certain people came into our lives when they did. Why we chose what we did at the time. Where we started out, where we are now and the twisting road we have traveled so far.
Philosophers, poets, thinkers have pondered these things through the ages. How much control do we have? Is it fate? Destiny? Or do our choices—conscious and sub-conscious—determine more than we know?
I imagined my grandfather's life as a young man through a novel, since I never knew him. As a novelist, I could write him several lives following separate branches, just to see where they'd lead. If I were writing sci-fi, I could have obliterated my life by changing the past to where he wouldn't have met my grandmother, breaking that chain and forging a new one.
But if a soul's ready to be born, would it come forth anyway? So, would I have emerged as one of the links in the new chain, regardless? And would I be much different from what I am now?
Looks like another branch to follow…

My Nonprofit Reviews
Sara B.
Review for Bering Omega Community Services, Houston, TX, USA
I began my work with Bering Omega Community Services through the Jesuit Volunteer Corps. I served as a full-time volunteer, 40 hours per week for a year, at their dental clinic, Day Treatment Program, and Omega House, their residential hospice. Words cannot describe the impact that opportunity had on me. I was fortunate enough to get hired as a Front Desk Coordinator at the Dental Clinic after my volunteer year, and I have now served as the Volunteer Coordinator for just over a year.
I feel blessed and fortunate to be able to provide similar experiences to new volunteers looking to make a difference in their community. I also see the work that is done for our clients, not only by volunteers, but by our staff, and I feel fortunate that we are able to provide the services we do. Without our agency, our clients lives would be lacking, to say the least.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
the satisfaction of knowing that we provide essential services to persons affected by HIV/AIDS.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
increase funding to provide more services to more clients!

Sesame and nut allergies may often strike together: MedlinePlus
Sesame and nut allergies may often strike together

Child Nutrition
Food Allergy
By Lynne Peeples
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Compared to children without peanut or tree nut allergies, kids who have both these allergies may also be more likely to develop an allergy to sesame seeds, a small study suggests.
The researchers linked a history of dual allergic reactions to peanuts and tree nuts with a 10-fold higher risk of allergy to sesame seeds - the tiny seeds that are commonly found in hummus and on hamburger buns.
The researchers also looked for a link between nut allergies and coconut allergies, but they did not find one.
More than 3 million people in the U.S. have an allergy to peanuts, tree nuts or both -- the foods also most notorious for triggering severe allergic reactions in children.
Some recent evidence has hinted that children with these allergies may be more prone to developing allergies to previously less-recognized triggers, such as sesame.
"I certainly screen my patients with peanut and tree nut allergy for sesame seed allergy," Dr. David Fleischer of National Jewish Health in Denver told Reuters Health.
Coconut has also appeared on the radar of allergists, particularly since the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued new labeling laws that categorize it as a tree nut.
"In reality, it is a palm fruit," added Fleischer, who was not involved in the new study but has published widely on peanut and tree nut allergies. "The FDA has confused the public."
To help sort out these relationships, Dr. Wanda Phipatanakul, of Children's Hospital Boston, and her colleagues studied the medical records of 191 children who had skin prick tests for sesame allergy and 40 who had tests for coconut allergy.
About 37 percent and 20 percent of the kids had positive test results to sesame and coconut, respectively, suggesting that their immune systems produced antibodies in reaction to the food.
When the researchers looked only at the children who had already proved sensitive to peanuts or tree nuts, between 50 percent and 60 percent showed sensitivity to sesame. Overall, they had a 6- to 10-fold higher risk of sesame sensitivity compared to children who did not have peanut or tree nut sensitivity, the researchers report in the medical journal Pediatric Allergy and Immunology.
But just because kids are "sensitized" doesn't mean they are truly allergic, Phipatanakul told Reuters Health in an e-mail.
Between 13 percent and 15 percent of peanut and tree nut allergic children were actually allergic to sesame, which turned out to be about the same proportion as among kids who didn't have the nut allergies.
The rate of sesame allergy jumped up to 50 percent for children allergic to both nuts, however.
Coconut sensitization or allergy, on the other hand, did not appear to be related to kids' reactions to peanut, tree nut or both.
"Most patients that are tree nut allergic don't really have to avoid coconut," noted Fleischer.
The findings are also consistent with earlier research connecting peanut and sesame allergies, he said.
However, both Fleischer and Phipatanakul pointed to limitations in the study, including its small size and lack of food challenges, the "gold standard" for diagnosing food allergies. They noted that more studies are needed to fully understand the relationships.
"We pretty much know that all food allergies are on the rise, particularly peanut. But this doesn't necessarily say that sesame seed allergy is an epidemic by itself," said Fleischer. "We just know it is associated with peanut, and we need to be aware that patients are at risk and should to be tested for it."
"If someone has a concern about any allergy they should always see an allergist," he added. "Any person can react to any food."

Upon entering a pagan clan, Patrick would seek to first convert the tribal leaders and other people of influence. He would then pray for the sick, cast demons out of the possessed, preach the Bible, and use both musical and visual arts to compel people to put their faith in Jesus. If enough converts were present he would build a simple church that did not resemble ornate Roman architecture, baptize the converts, and hand over the church to a convert he had trained to be the pastor so that he could move on to repeat the process with another clan.Perhaps celebrating great missionaries with beer should be more widespread (and the use in moderation more widespread too).

Engineers are often the unsung heroes of our society. Much of their work – whether it be research and teaching in universities, or consulting and project work in industry – occurs 'behind the scenes' and therefore can go unnoticed by the wider community. But, in reality, there are few spheres of our daily lives that are untouched by engineers. Roads, buildings, infrastructure, water systems, cars, traffic control, consumable products and packaging, sport, medicine and even music are just some of the areas where the work of engineers lies below the surface.
This website, celebrating 50 years of the Faculty of Engineering gives us the opportunity to celebrate, applaud and commend some of these unsung engineering heroes by profiling them and their significant achievements.
Here you will find profiles of those who over the years have helped build the Faculty, shaping and molding the engineering graduates who entered the Faculty as students and left Monash as highly skilled, ably trained engineering professionals. You will also find individual profiles of some of these former students who, since leaving the Faculty, have gone on to make outstanding contributions to society as a result of their experiences in the Faculty of Engineering.


text: Way to go, Ali! You should feel safe to say and share what you want, particularly in your own space. And I agree with others, you're an expert. And experts do disagree with each other, so don't feel like somehow you're less than just because you might have more to learn. Socrates had more to learn too, and knowing that made him the wiser. In any case, your caring and respect for the myths and ancient places shines through, and good on you for ignoring the people who can't show that respect in return. I love that story about Cormac, too. Interesting how he was raised by wolves just like the mythical founders of the city of Rome. Is that just coincidence? This post made me want to return to Tara. That will happen, I am sure. 🙂 You are doing black and white photography? That feels very right … in a way that would be hard for me to explain. 🙂 Keep shining, Ali.

Eddard Stark, also called "Ned", is the head of House Stark, Lord of Winterfell, and Warden of the North. He is a close friend to King Robert I Baratheon, with whom he was raised. Eddard is one of the major POV characters in the books. In the television adaptation Game of Thrones, he is played by Sean Bean in Season 1 and Sebastian Croft as Eddard in his youth during a flashback in Season 6.[5]
Appearance and Character
- See also: Images of Eddard Stark
Eddard is in his mid-thirties. He has a long face, dark hair and grey eyes. His closely-trimmed beard is beginning to grey, making him look older than his years.[6] His dark grey eyes reflect his moods, turning soft as fog or hard as stone.[7] Among his enemies, Eddard has the reputation of having cold eyes. They are thought to reflect his frozen heart.[8] Eddard is neither as large nor as handsome as his older brother Brandon was, according to Catelyn Stark; however, she also states that he has a "good sweet heart beneath his solemn face".[9] He keeps faith with the old gods.[10] He is fiercely protective of his wife and children, whom he loves deeply.
Eddard is known for his unwavering sense of honor and justice and his family finds him kind, although some consider his reserved personality a sign of coldness and disdain.
Eddard Stark was born the second son of Lord Rickard Stark and Lady Lyarra Stark. He had one older brother, Brandon, and two younger siblings, Lyanna and Benjen.[11][12]
Eddard was fostered by Lord Jon Arryn at the Eyrie from the age of eight, alongside Robert Baratheon.[10][13] Eddard befriended Robert and came to consider Lord Arryn a second father.[10] When he reached the age of sixteen, Eddard was a man grown, and divided his time between Winterfell and the Eyrie.[14] During one of his visits to Winterfell, Eddard carried a wedding proposal from Robert to his father, Lord Rickard, who agreed to betroth his daughter Lyanna to Eddard's friend.[2][15] When Lyanna later expressed that her believe that Robert would never keep to one bed, having heard about Robert's bastard daughter in the Vale, Eddard recalled having seen the child, and is unable to deny her existence.[15]
In 281 AC, at the age of eighteen, Eddard came down from the Eyrie to go to the tourney at Harrenhal,[16] where, amongst others, Eddard's foster brother Robert Baratheon, his foster father Jon Arryn, and his three siblings, Brandon, Lyanna and Benjen were also present.[17] It was during this tourney that Eddard would meet Howland Reed, one of his father's bannermen. Howland and Eddard would remain friends for the rest of their lives. During the opening feast, Eddard saw Ashara Dayne, a lady-in-waiting to Princess Elia Martell. He would dance with her later that night, but only after his older brother Brandon had spoken to her on his behalf, since he himself was too shy.[17] Eddard was present during the final jousts, where Prince Rhaegar Targaryen passed over his own wife, Elia, to crown Lyanna the queen of love and beauty. Eddard would remember this moment as "the moment when all smiles died" years later.[16]
The following year, Eddard's sister Lyanna was allegedly abducted by Prince Rhaegar Targaryen.[18] Eddard's brother Brandon rode to King's Landing in anger, but when he threatened the crown prince, he was arrested. Lord Rickard Stark was summoned to King's Landing, and when he demanded a trial by combat, both he and Brandon were executed at the command of King Aerys II Targaryen.[19] Aerys's next step was to demand that Jon Arryn send him the heads of his wards, Eddard and Robert. Jon refused and instead rose his banners.[10]
Robert's Rebellion
With his father and brother dead, Eddard was now the Lord of Winterfell. He wanted to raise his banners to join the rebellion, but getting from the Vale of Arryn to the north was complicated by the fact that Gulltown, the Vale's chief port, had stayed loyal to the Iron Throne.[20][21] Eddard had to cross the Mountains of the Moon to the Fingers and hire a fisherman to bring him to White Harbor with a boat. They were caught by a storm on the Bite and the fisherman drowned. However, his daughter managed to bring Eddard to the Three Sisters. When he arrived at Sisterton, House Borrell's maester urged Lord Borrell to deliver Eddard's head to King Aerys II Targaryen, but Lord Borrell, knowing that Jon Arryn and Robert Baratheon had taken Gulltown in the meantime, was unsure who would prevail in the conflict. Thus he let Ned leave for White Harbor, telling him to remain silent about his stay in Sisterton in case the rebellion failed.[21]
Eddard called his banners, and marched south to join Robert and Jon, arriving in time to turn the tide at the Battle of the Bells.[22] Afterward, he went to Riverrun to marry Catelyn Tully, who had been betrothed to his brother Brandon before his death.[13] Jon Arryn married Catelyn's sister Lysa in the same ceremony. The double wedding bound House Tully to the rebels' cause.[10]
The rebels won their decisive victory in the Battle of the Trident, in which Robert killed Prince Rhaegar Targaryen in single combat. Because Robert had been wounded by Rhaegar, it fell on Eddard to pursue the remnants of Aerys' armies to King's Landing. When he arrived there, Lord Tywin Lannister's force had already sacked the city. Eddard had developed contempt for House Lannister during the rebellion, as Lord Tywin had remained neutral in an apparent attempt to join the winning side in the end. Eddard's contempt increased when he learned that Lord Tywin had conquered the city by treachery and that his men had brutally killed Rhaegar's wife, Elia Martell, and children, Rhaenys and Aegon. In addition, Lannister flags were flying over the Red Keep when Eddard arrived and, as he rode into the throne room to claim the crown for Robert, he found King Aerys's body at the steps leading to the Iron Throne, on which the king's killer, Ser Jaime Lannister, was sitting. Eddard felt that the way in which the conquest of King's Landing had been conducted dishonored Robert's cause. He was disappointed that Robert, upon arriving in the city, did not share his moral outrage and in particular defended the murder of Rhaegar's children. He also ignored Eddard's counsel that Jaime should be made to join the Night's Watch for breaking his oath as a knight of the Kingsguard by not protect the king. Their disagreements about these issues created a temporary rift between Eddard and Robert that not even Jon Arryn was able to breach.[10][23][24]
Eddard left Robert in King's Landing and went to Storm's End, where he lifted the siege of the castle. Mace Tyrell and his armies yielded to Eddard without a fight. Afterwards, Eddard travelled to the mountains of Dorne to liberate his sister Lyanna, who apparently was held at the Tower of Joy. When Eddard arrived along with six companions, he found the tower guarded by three members of the Kingsguard, including Ser Arthur Dayne. The resulting skirmish saw the deaths of all but Eddard and one companion, Howland Reed. Unfortunately, when Eddard found Lyanna, she was already dying.[25] Before her death, she made Eddard promise her something;[25] what he promised her has not yet been revealed. The experience haunts Eddard and he recalls her "promise me" on multiple occasions.[23][26][16] However, the shared grief over Lyanna led to his reconciliation with his friend, now King Robert I.[23]
Lord of Winterfell
Eddard returned home to Winterfell, bringing with him a bastard son, Jon Snow. This strained the relationship with his wife Catelyn, who had given birth to their son Robb during the war. Eddard refused to speak to her about the origins of Jon. However, stories concerning her identity circulated nonetheless. When Lady Catelyn heard rumors that the boy's mother was the Dornish noblewoman Ashara Dayne, she confronted Eddard about it, but he told her in a brusque manner that the child was his blood and that was all she needed to know. He subsequently silenced the rumors about Ashara.[13] Sansa Stark recalls hearing whispers that Jon's mother was common born.[27] Lord Edric Dayne believes that, rather than his aunt Ashara, Jon Snow's mother was a woman called Wylla, who worked for House Dayne and at one point served as Edric's wet-nurse.[28] When asked about the mother of his bastard son by King Robert Baratheon, Eddard also mentions the name Wylla.[23] However, Lord Godric Borrell claims that the daughter of the fisherman who sneaked Eddard away from the Fingers gave birth to Jon Snow.[21]
After Robert's Rebellion, Eddard spent the next fifteen years as Lord of Winterfell, a task he had never expected and did not always feel equal to.[13] He rarely left the North and did not involve himself in the complex intrigues of the southern courts. Although his bannermen were loyal, Eddard dealt with the problems that did arise swiftly. When Lord Jorah Mormont tried to sell poachers he had caught on his lands into slavery, Eddard travelled to Bear Island to bring him to justice for his crime, but, upon arrival, found that Mormont and his wife had fled into exile.[23] In 289 AC, Eddard travelled south to fight alongside Robert once more, this time in the Greyjoy Rebellion. After the decisive Siege of Pyke and Balon Greyjoy's surrender, Eddard took Lord Balon's only surviving son Theon as a ward and hostage.[25] While he would try to be like a father to Theon from time to time,[29] Theon still thought Eddard to be cold.[29]
During his marriage to Catelyn, he had five children with her: Robb, Sansa, Arya, Bran, and Rickon.[12]
Recent Events
A Game of Thrones
Lord Eddard executes a deserter of the Night's Watch who claims to have been attacked by Others. On the return to Winterfell, the party discovers a direwolf dead on the roadside, her throat pierced by a stag she had slain. Swayed by his bastard son Jon Snow, Eddard decides not to slay her newborn pups, and instead allow his children to raise them.[6] That same day, a raven arrives bearing word of the death of Jon Arryn, who fostered Eddard as well as Robert Baratheon, and who had long served Robert as the King's Hand.[10] Soon Robert arrives with half the court, and Eddard grudgingly accepts his offer to replace Lord Arryn as Hand, as well as a betrothal of Prince Joffrey to his daughter Sansa.[25][13] Another message arrives, this one from Lysa Arryn, Jon's widow and Eddard's wife Catelyn's sister, sent to Winterfell in secret. Lysa warns the Starks that the Lannisters were involved in her husband's death.[13] When Eddard's son Bran falls and slips into a coma, Eddard and the royal court remain at Winterfell for almost another fortnight,[30] though they eventually decide to leave. During the journey south, Eddard's youngest daughter Arya is involved in an incident in which crown prince Joffrey Baratheon is injured by Arya's direwolf, Nymeria.[27] When Nymeria cannot be found, Queen Cersei Lannister demands the death of Sansa Stark's direwolf, and Eddard executes the wolf himself. In order to prevent Queen Cersei from acquiring the pelt, he has her body sent north to be burried at Winterfell.[31]
Upon arriving at King's Landing, Eddard is summoned to a small council meeting. Afterwards, Lord Petyr Baelish takes Eddard to one of his brothels, where he has been hiding Eddard's wife, Catelyn. Catelyn reveals to Eddard how a man tried to kill their son Bran with a Valyrian steel dagger. Baelish reveals that the dagger used to be his, but was won in a bet by Tyrion Lannister. Baelish promises to aid Eddard.[32]
Now in King's Landing, Eddard is shocked to learn that the crown is heavily indebted due to Robert's extravagance, and Arryn and the small council had been unable to restrain him. Robert decrees a great tournament is to be held in honor of Eddard's appointment as Hand of the King, despite Eddard's protests of the cost.[32] The tournament, featuring a joust, melee, and archery contest, attracts knights and freeriders from all over the Seven Kingdoms.[32][33][34]
Eddard discovers that his daughter Arya is in the possession of a sword, but decides to have her trained in how to use it, instead of taking her sword away. He hires Syrio Forel, a former First Sword of Braavos.[33] While Ned later wonders whether Syrio is a proper teacher for Arya, he allows the lessons to continue,[35] and is eventually even willing to ask Syrio to continue his work at Winterfell.[36]
Eddard begins making Jon Arryn's activities before his death, and discovers that Jon spent a great deal of time with Stannis Baratheon and had been visiting several of Robert's bastard children in the city.[34][15] An issue presents itself when Lord Varys brings new to the small council, however. During their journey from Winterfell to King's Landing, Eddard and Robert had already been at odds about whether or not to be concerned about the wedding of Targaryen Princess Daenerys to Dothraki khal Drogo.[23] When news reaches King's Landing that Daenerys is pregnant, Robert holds a council meeting demanding she be put to death. Eddard and Ser Barristan Selmy are the only ones to speak out against the move, but Robert, driven by his hatred of the Targaryens, insists on the assassination. Eddard, unwilling to cooperate, resigns his post in protest.[37] Before his planned departure from King's Landing to return to Winterfell, Eddard visits another of Robert's bastard children, a girl named Barra, found by Petyr Baelish. Returning from this meeting he is ambushed by Jaime Lannister, who wants revenge for his brother Tyrion, who had been seized by Eddard's wife Catelyn's,[15] a fact Eddard had learned the day before from Yoren.[38][37] Eddard's leg is badly injured in the melee. While recovering, Robert visits his friend, pardoning him and returning him to office as Hand of the King.[39]
Eddard sits on the Iron Throne and hears petitions while Robert is out on a hunt. Three river lords bring the news that several villages near the border of the westerlands have been ravaged by Gregor Clegane. Eddard sends Lord Beric Dondarrion, Thoros of Myr and a number of knights, and members of his own household guard to bring Clegane to justice.[40]
While investigating Jon Arryn's interest in Robert's bastard children, Eddard discovers to his horror that Robert's three legitimate children are the product of incest between Queen Cersei Lannister and her brother Jaime.[36] Eddard decides to confront Cersei with this knowledge, giving her a chance to flee with her children while she still can.[41] However, Cersei uses the warning time to orchestrate Robert's assassination and buy off the City Watch of King's Landing. As Robert lays on his deathbed, Eddard rebuffs both Robert's younger brother Renly Baratheon's suggestion that they seize control of the royal children, and Petyr Baelish's urgings to rule as Regent while Cersei and Jaime's thirteen-year-old son Joffrey I Baratheon accede to the Iron Throne, instead planning to deliver it to the elder of Robert's brothers, Stannis.[26] Baelish promises Eddard the support of the City Watch, promptly betraying him as soon as Robert dies. Cersei has Eddard imprisoned for treason, with the City Watch supporting her thanks to Baelish's treachery.[42]
Varys visits Eddard Stark in the dungeons, informing him that if he confesses to treason his life will be spared and he will be given the opportunity to join the Night's Watch. Eddard initially refuses but agrees to swallow his honor to save the life of his daughter Sansa, who is in Lannister custody.[16] He is taken to the steps of the Great Sept of Baelor where, unbeknownst to him, Yoren, his daughter Arya Stark, and the disguised Ser Barristan Selmy are amongst the crowd.[4][43] Eddard makes a false public confession but the plan goes awry when King Joffrey declares that Eddard must be executed, to the evident shock of Cersei, Varys, and the High Septon. Ilyn Payne beheads Eddard Stark with his own greatsword, Ice.[4] Joffrey has Eddard's head placed on a spike and forces his daughter Sansa to view it.[44]
A Clash of Kings
Tyrion Lannister orders Lord Eddard's head, along with all the other heads to be removed from the spikes.[45] He then sends Eddard's bones to Riverrun.[46][7] Catelyn Stark tasks Hallis Mollen to take the bones north so Eddard can be buried in the crypt of Winterfell beside his father, brother and sister.[9] The ironborn take Moat Cailin soon after and it is unknown if Eddard's bones made it past the Moat before its fall to House Greyjoy.[47][48][9]
Eddard Stark's execution at the Great Sept of Baelor has caused a serious deterioration in relations between the crown and the Faith of the Seven, as the High Septon claims that Stark's beheading there profaned the Sept with blood.[45]
A Dance with Dragons
Bran Stark, while training to become a greenseer, sees a vision of his father in the past through the eyes of the heart tree of Winterfell's godswood. Through the tree, Bran hears his father's prayers that his wife will forgive him and that Jon and Robb will grow together as brothers.[49]
Lady Barbrey Dustin, who once aspired to marry Brandon before he was betrothed to Catelyn, mentions to Theon Greyjoy that she blames Eddard for the death of her husband, Lord Willam Dustin. She tells Theon that if she ever discovers the location of Eddard's bones, she will never allow them to be buried in the crypts of Winterfell along with his ancestors, in revenge for Eddard's failure to return her husband's bones to her.[50] Many other northern houses remember Eddard Stark fondly, and are willing to march to war against House Bolton to rescue Eddard's daughter.[51][52]

Eddard: That is the only time a man can be brave.[6]
– Bran Stark and Eddard
The blood of the First Men still flows in the veins of the Starks, and we hold to the belief that the man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.[6]

You are an honest and honourable man, Lord Eddard. Ofttimes I forget that. I have met so few of them in my life... When I see what honesty and honor have won you, I understand why.[16]
– Varys to Eddard
– Jaime Lannister to Catelyn Tully
I knew Ned Stark as well. Your father was no friend of mine, but only a fool would doubt his honor or his honesty.[53]
– Stannis Baratheon to Jon Snow
A long time ago, she remembered her father saying that when the cold wind blows the lone wolf dies but the pack survives. He had it all backwards. Arya, the lone wolf, still lived, but the wolves of the pack had been taken and slain and skinned.[54]
– thoughts of Arya Stark

2: As a photographer, I am really just starting. But as a creative and artistic person, well that has come naturally. This book is a showcase of some of my favorite pieces, not necessarily my most technically correct, but the pieces that make me feel most artistic. These photos are a snapshot of how I view life. As a High School student, my life is mainly focused on schoolwork and my athletic pursuit of rowing and horseback riding. For me photography is my escape, a way to distance, and at the same time connect myself with the world I live in. I used a Nikon D5000 for most of the pictures but my beyond the class section was shot with a Kodak easyshare. Using photography as a form of expression is my priority. Photography is a snapshot of life. The only thing I hope anyone gets out of this is to realize that their is an artist in everyone. My featured photos will be in green frames, highlighting some favorites.

A woman has filed a personal injury suit against Rolling Frito-Lay Sales LP and one of its employees, alleging that she was struck by a company vehicle while walking.
According to the suit Angela Duran filed in Texas' Galveston County District Court on May 27, the driver, Mark Bebar, failed to look both ways and struck her with his vehicle as a result.
The suit claims that Duran was walking west on August 22, 2007 on a one-way street while Bebar was exiting a parking lot nearby.
The suit says that because the street was one way, Bebar only looked to the east for traffic, and therefore did not see Duran walking on the other side. The suit says he then proceeded and struck Duran.
The suit also claims that Bebar was in violation of the state's Transportation Code because he failed to sound his horn or use another method to warn Duran that he was about to enter the roadway in a dangerous manner.
The suit alleges Frito-Lay is negligent for hiring and supervising Bebar.
Duran seeks damages for pain and suffering, mental anguish, impairment, disfigurement, lost earnings, and medical expenses. She has requested a trial by jury.

The transition from "labs to villages" of life-saving health innovations may be delayed or even prevented if the many ethical, social, and cultural (ESC) issues that arise along the "critical path" from discovery to development to delivery and adoption are not addressed.
The ESC Program works with global health organizations and other partners to anticipate and proactively address major ESC issues, opportunities, and challenges associated with global health and development initiatives. These include, but are not limited to, those that arise in: collecting, using and sharing data and/or biospecimens; engaging with stakeholders and communities; planning and conducting trials; rolling-out potentially disruptive public health interventions; and, partnering (e.g., research consortia, PDPs) for development and delivery of new interventions.
The ESC Program team consists of scholars from Canada, India, South Africa, and the US, who specialize in bioethics, biomedical science, medicine, public health, health policy, philosophy, and law. The team engages in research and analysis of, and devise customized solutions for, a broad range of complex ESC challenges in global health and development. ESC Program outputs and services include: advisory/consultation services; presentations; discussion papers for internal use by clients and/or partners; papers for peer-reviewed publication; and/or direct collaboration with investigators to develop new approaches to address ESC challenges.
**IMPORTANT NOTICE: In April 2014, the Ethical, Social, and Cultural Program moved to St. Michael's Hospital, for more information please contact Meagan Fowlow: kfowlowm at smh.ca

Take advantage of the popular contemporary bedroom sets for the current draft. With a simple design, contemporary concept is based on a sense of present with not a lot of details or unique characteristics. In fact it is just a great idea, the design is easily blended and mixed with each theme bedrooms, making it very convenient for many people with plenty of bedrooms. It cannot be compared with a set of traditional or modern bedrooms since contemporary sits right in the middle.
contemporary bedroom assets in soft natural tones
Usually if you're going to plan a space with contemporary bedroom sets, you want to apply the soft colours and natural as white, including white, pale ivory white or grayish white or different shades of gray or light brown. For example, you can apply black paint to the walls of your bedroom but did not do so in a pitch black color. Instead, you can use the grayish black. There are several possibilities for the furniture. The first can be pure white. It has high contrast as a whole can create stunning accents as well as elegance. Last but not least, you can use the same dark colors like Brown very dark to create a mystery plenary in your bedroom.
contemporary bedroom assets covered in wood texture
If you are going to add some texture to Your contemporary bedroom sets, you can apply the texture of natural wood. This exotic texture will provide dynamic vibration and a touch of the exotic to your bedroom. If you apply a color to the second block to the furniture and the walls, it can make the atmosphere a bit monotonous, even very didn't care if you liked the minimalist, but to make the composition more look different, you can use different shades of brown color wood. It could be black for chocolate-vanilla, from dark to light.
Using a contemporary style in your bedroom can lead to the relatively low price of the bedroom set, unless you decide to use solid wood for the base material. However, because the furniture designed solely with the standard form and cutting, not much decoration detail, resulting in less expensive. However, you will not make your bedroom a dull or boring. Contemporary bedroom set is one of the simple solutions that can be applied not only in contemporary atmosphere but also a lot of options.

The Best of Delaware 2009
From crab cakes and cheesesteaks to prime rib and clam bakes, little Delaware is packed with great places to eat and terrific places to shop. Here's the cream of the crop.

(page 7 of 164)
Best Bone-In Filet
Critics, downstate: Executive chef Ryan Cunningham says the success of his bone-in filet at Bonz begins with the meat's quality. The choice Angus comes from Rastelli Foods in New Jersey. "Their products are awesome," Cunningham says. "They haven't done me wrong yet." He charbroils the filet at 1,500 degrees and finishes it with Malden sea salt, which is cultivated in England. "Having the bone in seeps more flavor into the meat," Cunningham says. "It just gives off a great flavor." We agree. (15 W. Rider Road, Harrington, 398-5348)

DUI & DWI Background
There's a lot of debate about cannabis and driving, and the difference between cannabis and alcohol when it comes to impaired driving.
There are many differences between alcohol and cannabis.
Alcohol is a depressant substance and cannabis is an anti-depressant, and the emotional state of the driver is known to have an impact on driving abilities.
When considering driving after taking any medication remember a DUI isn't just alcohol.
Alcohol is known as the highest prevalent substance linked to intoxicated driving with the highest incidence of deadly accidents.
A DUI and/or DWI can occur when using any kind of drug or no "drug" at all.
Any substance that can impair motor function and reasoning can be used as a cause for a DUI citation.
- "Drugs" as defined by the State
- Prescriptions
- Over-the-counter medications (ie. cough syrup)
That's right!! The medications you pick up at the local drug store can cause a DUI if used before driving.
In fact, most allergy medications are known for impairing the ability to drive. And, because many of these medications contain alcohol it can show up on a test.
Cannabis, on the other hand, is tricky for officials to detect, and there are currently no breathalyzers for cannabis. (Although I have seen some articles on the development of this type of technology…cannabis breathalyzers are soon to come).
Usually when a driver is suspected of being under the influence, the first three field sobriety tests are conducted.
You can refuse to be tested, but it gives them the opportunity to demand another test (ie, breath, blood, urine) and if you refuse one of these tests the consequences are harsher.
Side Note: I'd say it's better to cooperate when pulled over for any reason, but in this society, I have to confess it depends on things like location, skin color, cultural mannerisms, and other things that shouldn't really be relevant.
If you are pulled over and you cooperate, expect to perform at least 3 sobriety tests. Officials are trained in giving these sobriety tests but accuracy and validity may be questionable.
Horizontal gaze nystagmus test – In this test the eye-gaze reactions are measured
when looking over a 45 degree angle without moving the head.
Sober eyes are supposed to naturally and involuntarily jerk after the 45 degree angle, but if the eyes jerk at or before the 45 degrees it is considered a sign of impairment and can be used as evidence.
This is estimated to be 75% reliable. (In my opinion this would be difficult to accurately determine in the field).
Walk and Turn Test – The walk and turn test splits attention between physical and mental abilities. Officials are looking for the following impairments;
- Loss of balance
- Counting the wrong number of steps
- Inability to stay on the line designated for walking
- Breaks in walking
- Beginning before instructed
This test is considered 68% reliable.
In my opinion, dividing attention is probably not the best way to determine driving abilities. Coming from a person who loves science and watching brain games, the brain cannot divide its attention without making mistakes in one area or the other, which makes me question the test validity.
One leg stand test – Also a test of divided attention. Officials will consider impairments during this balance test if they see;
- Swaying
- Hopping
- Putting your foot down
This test is considered 65% accurate.
Although I might question the reliability of these tests. There is evidence to suggest that these tests work, which is why its used as evidence in court.
Other methods of testing;
Drug swab test, a saliva test used to detect traces of drugs. (This test isn't 100% accurate either, because traces of the drug can stay in saliva for three days, long after intoxication has subsided.
Cannabis and Driving
Cannabis is an interesting "drug" because its effects are said to be the opposite of alcohol. It does still cause impairment, but not in the way most believe.
Cannabis does impair psychomotor skills and reaction time, but not to the same degree as alcohol. Risk of accidents seem to increase as blood intoxication levels increase with any type of drug.
When cannabis is isolated and subject groups are controlled for validity there is NO significant increase in accident risks.
Cannabis is the best medication when you HAVE to drive.
Cannabinoids already exist in the body, but increase in cannabinoids cause the patients to be increasingly aware of their impairment.
Cannabis patients over-compensate for their impairments.
Patients will drive slower and leave more room for reaction time in case of emergencies.
Most studies (although limited) suggest that cannabis does not increase the risk of accidents and cannabis has little effect on driving skills and abilities.
I'm not suggesting you drive under the influence, but of all the drugs that could be used with patients that need to drive, cannabis is the safest.
Since cannabis is present in the system for a very long time, it is very difficult to link cannabis to unsafe driving.
Cannabis can be present in the body at the time, without the patient being "high."
Cannabis consumers should know that 13 micrograms of THC is equal to the impairment level of .08 alcohol.
Laws regarding cannabis impairment and consequences are different in each state. In California, possession has been decriminalized and use is legal for medical patients, but no specific laws regarding cannabis and driving.
There are many people who suffer from illnesses that absolutely need their medication. Sometimes throughout the day, whether or not they have to drive.
It is for the sake of these people that I believe only the safest medication should be used when needing to drive. And yes, I do believe cannabis is safest medication.
