PRINCESS ANNE, MD - (Aug. 28, 2013) - UMES President Juliette B. Bell announced that Kimberly Conway Dumpson will move from vice president for institutional advancement into the president's office, where she will assume the newly created position of Executive Vice President.
Kimberly C. Dumpson / by Jim Glovier
Dumpson will continue to advance the university. She will play a lead role in developing and executing the University's major strategic initiatives. Working closely with the President, Provost and other senior colleagues, she also will oversee government relations and the Office of Marketing and Communications, which includes public relations.
This executive position "is being created to provide strategic support to the President on internal and external matters of importance to the University," said Bell. "I am extremely pleased that Kimberly has agreed to take on this critical role."
Dumpson, Bell also noted, will represent her and articulate the president's position "on a variety of issues, as needed."
Dumpson was selected after a national search a year ago to fill the vice president for institutional advancement position previously held by Gains B. Hawkins Jr., who retired after nine years leading the University's record-setting fund-raising efforts. A new vice president for institutional advancement will be identified to fill this important post.
Dumpson is a graduate of Towson State University and Ohio Northern University College of Law. She joined UMES in 2005.
Her legal background enabled her to establish a planned giving program aimed at securing legacy gifts through bequests and gifts of assets to support University programs and priorities. During its recent capital campaign, Dumpson played an integral role in fundraising that resulted in more than $16 million to benefit the University.
She is also widely recognized for forging relationships with key University constituencies, particularly alumni.
Dumpson, who is also a graphic designer, oversees the University's visual identity program and publication of its magazine. She has been responsible for creating trademarks that have become part of the fabric of the campus community, including the "M" logo with the University's iconic flying hawk. The University's 125th anniversary logo and presidential banners that line UMES' main thoroughfare are also her handiwork.
In her new role, Dumpson will coordinate integration of the University's marketing and communications efforts to increase awareness of programs and priorities. Dumpson will assume her new role on September 16.
In addition to practicing law in Bethesda, Salisbury and Upper Marlboro, she also was executive director of the Life Crisis Center in Salisbury and worked as executive assistant to Wicomico County's social services director.
A Wicomico County native, Dumpson was recognized in 2006 by the Wicomico County Commission on Women and state officials as woman of the year and has served the county on numerous boards and commissions, including the Wicomico County Personnel Board and the Compensation and Allowance Commission.
Her civic and community work earned her recognition in 2010 as a "Hometown Hero" from Md. Gov. Martin O'Malley.
Dumpson is a member of the board of the Wicomico County Tourism Council, YMCA of the Chesapeake Bay and Somerset County Historical Society. She also is a member of the Salisbury Rotary Club and Princess Anne Chapter of the Links, Inc. and was president of the Wicomico High School Parent Teacher Student Association and Delta Sigma Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. She was a board member of United Way of the Lower Eastern Shore, Maryland Capital Enterprises and Shore Up!, Inc.
Dumpson is married to Wicomico County educator Jeffrey K. Dumpson, Sr. They have two children, Taylor and Jeffrey II.

LONDON (AP) Jeff Rees is retiring after more than four years in charge of tennis' anti-corruption group, and former police officer Nigel Willerton will replace him on Jan. 1.
The Tennis Integrity Unit announced the changes Monday.
Rees was hired as Director of Integrity in August 2008 after helping review possible match-fixing in professional tennis.
The sport's governing bodies - the ATP and WTA tours, the International Tennis Federation and the Grand Slam Committee - formed the Tennis Integrity Unit after a series of player suspensions for betting on matches and a gambling investigation into a match involving Nikolay Davydenko.
During Rees' tenure, two players were banned for life from tennis.
Willerton has been an investigator for the Tennis Integrity Unit since June 2010.

Without a doubt, Barack Obama is gearing up to use the death of Osama bin Laden as an ace card in his bid for re-election in 2012. The only problem is the entire story is pure fiction. Below, you'll find plenty of evidence to make that clear.
Alex Jones and his writers at Infowars.com have worked exhaustively to expose the hoax of the War on Terror that centered around Osama bin Laden and the 9/11 attacks, which was clearly staged to goad the public into war. Alex predicted the attacks in the summer before it happened. Bin Laden, whose family was partners with the Bush family and others in the West for decades, reportedly died after ongoing medical issues in 2001 or 2002, while some 9 other reports of his death have circulated over the years. Al Qaeda was built up and used by the Pentagon as a weapon for war, first battling the Soviets, later supporting efforts in the Balkans, and maturing into a boogie man for the West.
Here's a brief recap of some of this vital info:
Exclusive: 'Bin Laden Dead' Hoax Exposed
Obama and his advisors have done nothing more or less than scripting an end for Bin Laden to score expedient political points. Like other movie villains, resurrections, sequels and side stories can all be arranged to continue the narrative as needed.

Red Alert: Government Had Osama bin Laden Frozen for Years
Kurt Nimmo and Alex Jones
May 1, 2011
In February, 2004, Iranian state radio claimed Osama bin Laden had been captured in Pakistan's border region with Afghanistan "a long time ago." Pentagon and Pakistani officials denied the report. "Osama bin Laden has been arrested a long time ago, but Bush is intending to use it for propaganda maneuvering in the presidential election," the radio report said.
Osama bin Laden died of kidney failure soon after the September 11, 2001, attacks. In 2002, Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf said bin Laden had kidney disease, and that he had required a dialysis machine when he lived in Afghanistan. That same year, the FBI's top counterterrorism official, Dale Watson, said, "I personally think he is probably not with us anymore."
A Taliban leader told the Pakistan Observer on December 21, 2002, that Bin Laden was suffering from a serious lung complication and died in mid-December, in the vicinity of the Tora Bora mountains. The source claimed that bin Laden was laid to rest honorably in his last abode and his grave was made as per his Wahabi belief, according to Fox News.
Obama Shamefully Exploits Bin Laden Fairytale In Transparent PR Stunt
Paul Joseph Watson
May 3, 2011
Mirroring how George W. Bush stood on the rubble of the twin towers to perform a staged public relations stunt in the aftermath of 9/11 as he enjoyed a huge surge in popular approval, Barack Obama is attempting to pull off the same trick, invoking "9/11-style unity" and busily heading to ground zero tomorrow to shamefully exploit the Bin Laden fairytale his administration has crafted.
Osama Bin Laden Pronounced Dead… For the Ninth Time
James Corbett
The Corbett Report
May 2, 2011
When Obama pronounced Osama Bin Laden dead in a televised announcement heard round the world last night, he was at least the ninth major head of state or high-ranking government official to have done so.
Given Bin Laden's documented kidney problems and consequent need for dialysis, government officials, heads of state and counterterrorism experts have repeatedly opined that Osama Bin Laden has in fact been dead for some time. These assertions are based on Bin Laden's failing health in late 2001 and visible signs of his deteriorating condition, as well as actual reports of his death from the same time frame.
In July of 2001, Osama Bin Laden was flown to the American Hospital in Dubai for kidney treatment. According to French intelligence sources, he was there met by the local CIA attache. When the agent bragged about his encounter to friends later, he was promptly recalled to Washington.

During his 60 Minutes interview with CBS News last night, Barack Obama admitted that US intelligence was only 55/45 confident that Bin Laden was even in the compound raided last Sunday night, fearing that the occupant could actually have been a "prince from Dubai," a skepticism shared by residents of Abbottabad, one of whom told the BBC that the man seen watching television in the tapes released by the White House Saturday was in fact his neighbor, not Bin Laden.
Staged: White House "Situation Room" Photos Part Of Bin Laden Fable
Paul Joseph Watson
May 5, 2011
On Tuesday, the White House released provocative images that purported to show, "US President Barack Obama watching live footage of the operation that killed Osama bin Laden."
But the claims have been proven to be completely fraudulent.
Alongside the crumbling official narrative of the operation to kill Bin Laden, it has emerged that Obama, Clinton and their staff saw virtually nothing whatsoever of the mission that allegedly led to the assassination of Bin Laden, because according to CIA director Leon Panetta, there was a 25 minute blackout of the live feed which was cut off before the US Navy SEALS even entered the building.

The head of the CIA admitted yesterday that there was no live video footage of the raid on Osama bin Laden's compound as further doubts emerged about the US version of events, basically proving several days of news reports were lies.

In the official photograph, he looked every inch the commander in chief. Strain etched on his face, Barack Obama watched as the raid to kill Osama bin Laden played out on a television in front of him.
According to a new book, however, the President was not nearly that engaged – and was actually playing golf until 20 minutes before the operation began in earnest.

The deluge of Stratfor.com emails released a result of the recent Wikileaks data dump includes a brief note from Stratfor's vice president for intelligence Fred Burton in which he urges the U.S. government to show photos of Osama Bin Laden's corpse in order to silence "lunatics like Alex Jones and Glenn Beck" who had questioned the government's official narrative behind the death of the terror mastermind.
WikiLeaks Email: Bin Laden's Corpse Not Dumped at Sea
Stratfor Claims Osama's Body Brought to US
Jason Ditz
March 04, 2012
In May of last year, the US killing of Osama bin Laden was immediately followed by debate over the disposal of his corpse. The Obama Administration claimed bin Laden was put in a bag and hurled into the sea, which it insisted was "in keeping with Islamic practices," whereas some were calling for his body to be kept around so it could be overtly desecrated.
WikiLeaks's release of Stratfor emails, however, shows that the company's Vice President Fred Burton did not believe that was the case, and told members of the company's mailing list that bin Laden's corpse was "Dover bound," referring to the Dover Air Force Base which is also the site to which US soldiers slain overseas are brought.

In a desperate effort to bolster its crumbling official narrative, the White House today released a set of dubious Bin Laden "home movies" purportedly seized from his compound during the raid on Sunday night that it claims show Bin Laden on camera in 2010, but the tapes are almost identical to footage released almost four years ago by a notorious Pentagon front group that acts as a conduit for US intelligence by regularly releasing fake Al-Qaeda videos.

CNS News
October 23, 2011
In statements delivered Friday and Saturday, President Barack Obama said it was his drawdown of U.S. troops in Iraq that allowed the U.S. to "refocus" on al Qaeda and get Osama bin Laden.
However, according to a report published by the New York Times on May 3, crucial intelligence that allowed the U.S. to locate Bin Laden came from an al Qaeda operative who had been captured by U.S. forces in 2004 in Iraq.

Pakistan TV Report Contradicts US Claim of Bin Laden's Death
Paul Craig Roberts
August 8, 2011
In my recent article, "Creating Evidence Where There Is None," about the alleged killing of Osama bin Laden by a commando team of US Seals in Abbottabad, Pakistan, I provided a link to a Pakistani National TV interview with Muhammad Bashir, who lives next door to the alleged "compound" of Osama bin Laden. I described the story that Bashir gave of the "attack" and its enormous difference from the one told by the US government. In Bashair's account, every member of the landing party and anyone brought from the house died when the helicopter exploded on lift-off. I wrote that a qualified person could easily provide a translation of the interview, but that no American print or TV news organization had investigated Bashir's account.
Eyewitness to OBL Raid Saw Helicopter Explode (TRANSCRIPT)
TRANSCRIPT of critical interview with Pakistani eyewitness to Bin Laden raid posted below this video. THERE IS NEED for a good activist to combine this transcript with the video, as no version with subtitles appears readily available.
Bashir: We were awake, not asleep, a helicopter came, some men came down from that, into that house, then that helicopter went away
Reporter: How many men?
Bashir: 10-12, then that helicopter took rounds of those rear hills, then he came bac…k and when he came bach, two more helicopters arrived, one from the west and other from the north, there was a blast in the first helicopter and it was on fire, we immediately came out, when we reached there, the helicopter was burning, then after about 20 minutes the army and police arrived, they pushed us back, now we are asking that if oama was here then who took him to america because all those men that came in the helicopter died in the blast, now if Osama was in that helicopter he must have died and got burnt in that helicopter too, then how they took him? this is a question of serious concern. America claims they they killed him and picked him up. How they picked him up? This is what we are thinking
Reporter: Was there only one helicopter?
Bashir: Yes the other that came flew away to Mansehra, there was only one that landed the men and came back to pick them but as he was picking them up, it blew away and caught fire.
Reporter: Then were in it when it blew?
Bashir: Yes They were. […]
Dead Men Don't Talk: US Navy Seals Destroyed to Cover Up Washington's Bin Laden Execution Hoax?
Finian Cunningham
Global Research
Aug 8, 2011
The wiping out of 30 US special forces in the Chinook helicopter crash in Afghanistan comes at a time when Washington's official version of how it carried out the assassination of Osama bin Laden was falling apart from incredulity.
Among the 38 dead in the helicopter disaster – the biggest single loss of American lives in the 10-year Afghanistan war of occupation – are believed to have been several of the 17 US Navy Seals involved in the execution of Osama bin Laden in early May. The dead also include other members of US special forces and Afghan commandos.
Early Western news media reports indicated that the Chinook may have been involved in a significant military operation against Afghan militants when it went down in Wardak Province, not far west from the capital, Kabul, early Saturday.
Taliban sources are reported to have claimed that its militants shot down the Chinook with rocket fire.

Obama Gets Massive 13 Point Bounce From Contrived Bin Laden Raid
May 11, 2011
Here's a reminder that the vast majority of Americans are amongst the most gullible people on the planet. President Obama's ability to pose as a "tough guy" over the contrived fable of the Bin Laden raid, allied with a return to simple-minded Bush-style terror fearmongering and helpful media spin on the economy, has enabled him to secure a massive 13 point bounce in approval ratings.

President Obama Is Selling Fear And War To Win Re-Election in 2012

Monday, October 17, 2011
Three years ago, President Obama cynically sold hope and change to get elected. He promised to initiate diplomatic talks with Iran, bring an end to the Iraq war, undo Bush-era laws, and create millions of new jobs.
This time around, President Obama is copying Bush by selling fear and war to keep his job.
The Bush administration did this on purpose. They released fake Bin Laden videotapes created by the CIA just in time to help Bush get re-elected.
And the only political tactic that can achieve such a miracle is an act of state terror and mass murder. The evildoers in the White House and Israel need to stage another event like 9/11. Or probably an even bigger event that will shift global public opinion towards supporting a war with either Iran, or Pakistan, or both.

The Obama 2012 campaign has launched it's reelection campaign by drawing on the mythical version of events played out last year following the supposed assassination of Osama Bin Laden.
The campaign will release a 17 minute video later this week, narrated by hollywood actor Tom Hanks, as an opening salvo in the struggle to win a second term for the president.
An action movie-style teaser clip released yesterday solely highlights the so called Bin Laden raid and features vice president Joe Biden and former president Bill Clinton talking up the event.
"He took the harder and more honorable path," Clinton says, adding "When I saw what had happened I thought to myself, I hope that's the call I would've made". >>>Read article

Either way, he called on the president to reengage on the climate debate, and cautioned environmentalists that they couldn't afford to wait for a friendlier Congress: "You know if we do that, we're doomed," he said.

Sophia Serghi rocks the Kennedy Center
Sophia Serghi's fingers hurtle from one piano key to the next, dashing to form sounds both strident and soothing. Her back is straight and her eyes are closed as she fires off one note after another.
She gives an emphatic, almost violent, nod for violinist Susan Via to join her. She jumps in, her own hands engaged in a sprint down the page of Serghi's Toward the Flame.
It's all blissfully athletic business for the two William & Mary Department of Music faculty as they rehearse six of Serghi's original compositions for an October performance on the Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage in Washington, D.C.
The concert, From Byzantium to Punk Rock, was sponsored by the College and the government of Cyprus.
"Most of the music springs from my experience from the Byzantine church," Serghi said. "But embedded in there are all these wonderful rhythms that come out of my rock experience. It's a very strange combination. But it works."
Serghi's music has been performed around the world. But the opportunity to appear at the Kennedy Center is special.
"I'm really happy about the Kennedy Center for two reasons," she explained. "One, it's so close to my home and a nationally renowned venue. Two, there's a good chance for the Greek community to have access to music that for many reasons was inspired by my Greek heritage."
For the most part, Serghi composes at breakneck speed. She finished two of the Kennedy Center selections, about 20 minutes of music, in two weeks.
"I don't wait for inspiration to come; if it's there, it'll come out," she said.

No Cable? No Problem, AMC Tells "Breaking Bad" Fans.
"Breaking Bad," America's favorite meth-dealer drama, kicked off its fifth season on AMC last night. If you missed it, you can probably catch it now, via your pay-TV provider's on-demand service.
And if you don't pay for TV, you can also get it right now. Legally.
Less than 12 hours after the show premiered on the East Coast, Apple's iTunes has the first episode available: $2 for a standard-definition copy, and $3 for HD. Amazon's Instant Video doesn't seem to have the show up yet, but it should also be there shortly.
If you're a hardcore "Breaking Bad" fan without cable, you probably already knew that. But just in case, AMC wants to make sure you know: Last night, during live chat sessions the network hosted on the show's Web site, an AMC rep would periodically remind users about ways to watch the show without paying for TV:
That kind of on-demand digital "windowing" is now standard for lots (but not all) TV, so it's not news in and of itself.
But that kind of thing is one of the flashpoints in the fight between AMC and satellite-TV provider Dish Networks: Dish says AMC's programming is "devalued" because it's so easily available on digital outlets. So for now, you can't watch "Breaking Bad" or any other AMC show on Dish, period.
The Dish fight is presumably what prompted AMC to flash those messages to its most ardent fans last night. Because AMC would really rather have its fans watch its shows on AMC, so they can get paid twice for the episodes: Once via advertisers, and once via "carriage" fees. And presumably, once the Dish fight ends, AMC will be a little less aggressive about promoting iTunes and Amazon for "in-season" viewing.
But, in the meantime, it's yet another example of the pay-TV industry reminding viewers that they can watch their favorite shows without a pay-TV subscription. One day those lessons might really sink in.

NEWS- Off the hook: Reporter not called to testify in cop v. couple
Hook reporter Courteney Stuart went into Charlottesville General District Court November 29 prepared for the worst and adamant that she would not testify despite being subpoenaed as a witness by a prosecutor. Represented by the Rutherford Institute, Stuart filed a motion to quash the subpoena and was ready to argue that it violated her First Amendment, freedom-of-the-press rights. Instead, she was excused as a witness.
"I'm pleased that the situation was taken care of in this one instance," Stuart said after her ordeal. "I hope in the future that will not happen again." That, however, is one thing the Charlottesville Commonwealth's Attorney's Office will not guarantee.
"We talked to the Commonwealth, and they made it clear if reporters gather evidence they need, they will subpoena reporters," says Ned Michie, who, along with Doug McKusick, staff attorney with the Rutherford Institute, represented Stuart. "People are going to worry the press are an arm of the police," says Michie.
Neither attorney recalls members of the media being subpoenaed locally by prosecutors, although they say it is happening across the country and is a problem of national importance.
"We wanted to get this cleared up so that in the future, the press isn't, willy-nilly, subjected to subpoenas," says McKusick, adding that such subpoena power puts a "chill" on a free, independent press. "Obviously we were hoping to win it before Judge [Robert] Downer. If we lost, Courteney was prepared to stand by her privilege, and we were prepared to appeal it on up."
Stuart had reported on the September 29 arrest of Richard Silva for public swearing/intoxication after he allegedly cursed at Charlottesville Police Officer Mike Flaherty for rushing through a Water street crosswalk. Silva's financee, Blair Austin, also was arrested for being drunk in public and for obstruction of justice. According to witnesses, Flaherty pushed her to the ground, and the couple alleged police brutality. Stuart interviewed the defendants and witnesses, and there were no confidential sources. [See related story.]
"The issue is whether the Fourth Estate can be used as an agent of the state to prove their case," says Rutherford Institute founder John Whitehead. "The press has to be in an objective position to give the news. Whether intentional or not, it's intimidating when they're called to testify with a subpoena."
Deputy Commonwealth's Attorney Claude Worrell says Stuart was excused as a witness because Silva and Austin's attorneys agreed to stipulate that her story was accurate– but he insists that in the future he will subpoena reporters if the government needs their testimony.
"We were looking for statements defendants made in [Stuart's] article that inculpate them," Worrell says.
Whitehead contends that subpoenaing reporters strikes at the First Amendment freedom of the press and has an intimidating effect on the press.
"We would disagree with that," says Worrell. "A free press, while unfettered in many respects, does not mean they can opt out of their responsibility as citizens to provide information."
Nor does Worrell see any danger of chilling the press by subpoenaing reporters. "It's theoretically possible," he says. "However, your paper's response was to have [editor] Hawes Spencer show up, you showed up, other reporters showed up. It did not chill your efforts to vigorously cover this story."
He also disputes the notion that such subpoenas make reporters an arm of the government. "No one thought the New York Times was going to be seen as a stooge of the government if Judith Miller revealed information on Scooter Libby or Valerie Plame," says Worrell.
"Subpoenas are intimidating; prosecutors are intimidating," argues Whitehead, promising, "We'll be there if they want to do it again."

Any reason Ms. Stuart couldn't take the 5th? Also, what prevents her from saying "No" when asked to take her oath as a witness?
Congrats Courteney! Too bad they need to make more of this case than need be in order to wear the public down.
Taking the 5th means you invoke your right not to incriminate yourself by being forced to testify. Ms. Stuart would not be incriminating herself in any way. And I suspect saying "No" to taking the oath would be the same as refusing to answer questions or just not showing up to court at all; it would result in a contempt charge from the court.
The Hook needs to get over itself. Start writing about news that doesn't effect you personally. We don't care.
Ken, you misunderstand what I'm saying. Hypothetically, Ms. Staurt could have committed a crime related to the confrontation between the "officer" and the defendants. If that were the case then she would have no obligation to testify. So if she pleaded the 5th and said that if she testified she would incriminate herself the court would have to recognize her right to do that. If they wanted to offer her immunity that is another matter. However, if her testimony included any self incriminating information she has no obligation to provide that. Also, the oath not to lie that is administered in court is *contractual* in nature. You have a right not to be involved in any contract you haven't knowingly, willingly and voluntarily entered into. So when the bailiff (or whoever) asks you to swear the oath you can say "No". How then can the judge find you in contempt for not taking an oath you have no fiduciary duty to take? You can't be forced to break a law in order to comply with some other law somewhere else.

From Conservapedia
Holiness churches are those emphasizing John Wesley's doctrine of perfection, especially as expressed in the Methodist Church. They teach that "entire sanctification" and the removal of inbred sin, follows conversion and is experienced instantaneously by faith. The believer is then able to live without deliberate sin, though not without "weaknesses".

Try out the bed in the shop Four in five bed shoppers spend less than two minutes trying beds in the shop, according to The Sleep Council. You're going to spend a lot of hours sleeping on it, so it's worth spending time getting properly hands-on with different beds and mattresses. When trying out a bed, lie down on it in the same way as you'd lie on your bed at home, to see how it feels. Ideally the mattress should mould to the shape of your body while also supporting it. Bring your bed partner If you're looking for a double bed for two, bring your partner along with you to try out potential purchases together. Individuals have different tastes and not only when it comes to the feel of the bed and mattress so there may have to be some compromise along the way. In our mattress tests we get people with different body types to lie on each mattress this means we can tell you which mattresses are suitable for a wide range of people. We also measure whether you'll feel the mattress moving when your partner turns on it. Find out which are our Best Buy mattresses.

What to ask in a bed shop There are a few key questions to ask in the bed shop so you know exactly what you're getting for your money: Does the bed come with a headboard? How will the bed come fully assembled, or will there be assembly needed? Are there flexible storage design options? Is a mattress included? What does the bed's guarantee cover, and for how long? How soon can it be delivered and how much will delivery cost? Getting the best price for a bed It's sensible to approach discounts on products such as beds with a healthy dose of cynicism. It's worth checking if a 'sale' might be coming up you might benefit from a hefty price cut by waiting a few weeks longer. That said, there are some good bargains to be had. Particularly if you go into a store armed with a better deal you've found on the same spec model online some shops might be prepared to offer a price match. Don't be afraid to haggle either, particularly in an independent store where the shop assistants may have more power to reduce the price, or throw in a freebie.

Getting your bed delivered Unless you've got access to a van, you'll need to arrange for the store to deliver your bed. There's likely to be a charge for this, so ensure you get a quote for delivery before parting with any money. Not all shops offer evening or weekend delivery slots, so check before you buy if this is important to you. Getting rid of your old bed You'll need to dispose of your old bed, too. Ask the shop you're buying your new bed from if it will pick up your old bed when they deliver some may charge extra to do this. You can ask your council to collect bulky items such as mattresses, but again some charge a small fee for this service. Wooden bed frames can be recycled contact your council for details of your nearest neighbourhood recycling centre or to arrange a pick-up, or get in touch with the Furniture Re-use Network to donate your bed.

American Petroleum Institute
Based out of Washington DC, the American Petroleum Institute (API) is the primary trade association of the oil and natural gas industry. It is made up of nearly 400 members involved in all aspects of petroleum, including ExxonMobil, BP, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Dow Chemical Company, Halliburton, and Shell Oil. These companies provide funding for API, which in turn champions the industry's interests in the government and through public outreach. Top member companies such as ExxonMobil have been estimated to contribute as much as $20 million annually to the American Petroleum Institute. The institute also sets equipment standards for the American oil industry.
Political Activity:
As the premier lobbying organization for the oil and gas industry, the American Petroleum Institute has spent over $33 million on lobbying in the last five years (2008-2012, quarter 3). API also announced in 2011 that it would begin spending money to elect politicians through a new political aciton committee. API's PAC spent over $200,000 during the 2012 election. 70% of API's political donations go to Republicans, although CEO Jack Gerard says "energy is not about Republicans, not about Democrats."
API and Newt Gingrich: While spokespeople from API later denied a connection with Rep. Newt Gingrich's (R-GA) American Solutions for Winning the Future PAC, Gingrich and an API staff member both claimed the organizations have worked together.
API gave $25,000 to Americans for Prosperity, the astroturf tea party group founded and chaired by oil billionaire David Koch. Koch Industries is not a member of API.
Astroturf Activism:
A leaked memo written by CEO Jack Gerard in August, 2009 revealed that API, in cooperation with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the National Association of Manufacturers, and other trade groups, coordinated "Energy Citizens" rallies in key Congressional districts as a way to increase political pressure against climate and energy legislation. This effort to create an apparent network of pro-oil and gas grassroots activists was directly funded and organized by API and member companies. Local rallies were more often than not coordinated by oil lobbyists, and Chevron even bussed their employees to events.
Public Relations and Influence on Scientific Issues:
By Oct. 20, API spent over $39 million on advertising strictly relating to energy and environmental issues in 2010. A new advocacy advertising campaign revealed at the end of 2011 will cost API $20 million. In 2012, API launched Vote 4 Energy. Vote 4 Energy is a continuation of API's Energy Citizens astroturf campaign intended to portray citizen support for the oil industry's business priorities, such as the tar sands Keystone XL pipeline, offshore drilling in the Arctic and hydraulic fracturing. API's broadcast advertising expenditures in 2012 cost $4.3 million as of April.
One week before President Obama delayed the construction of the full Keystone XL tar sands pipeline, API spent $600,000 on TV ads urging voters to "tell our president we need it [Keystone XL] now."
API's web of influence in the global warming denial network reveals numerous anti-climate legislation organizations that have been funded by ExxonMobil, including the Heartland Institute, the George C. Marshall Institute, the Competitive Eneterprise Institute and the Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow. API's network ties them to astrophysicists Willie Soon and Sallie Baliunas, both known for publishing material (not peer-reviewed nor scientifically viable) that encourages climate change skepticism. API was directly involved in funding and promoting Soon and Baliunas' 2003 report, "Reconstructing Climatic and Environmental Changes of the Past 1000 Years: A Reappraisal," published in Energy & Environment. Soon has received $273,611 from the American Petroleum Institute for various climate related studies.
API oversaw a $27 million scientific counter-study, paid for by BP, ExxonMobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips and Shell companies or subsidiaries, which aimed to counter research linking benzene to cancer. While benzene is already a recognized carcinogen, new research establishing new potency data about the chemical could force oil companies to adopt stricter regulations.
Exaggerating Job Creation Statistics
API and CEO Jack Gerard have repeatedly circulated a false job creation figure of 20,000 workers for the proposed Keystone, as opposed to estimates of 6,000 or less by the U.S. State Department and Cornell University, as well as a Greenpeace discovery that US job estimates on the were 67% higher per mile of US pipeline as opposed to numbers provided to the Canadian government. While one of API's main publicity claims is the oil industry's support for 9.2 million jobs, this inflated figure "includes not only legitimate direct and indirect jobs but more remote 'induced' jobs that the API has listed as including everything from day-care workers to valets to rocket scientists."
Education and the Boy Scouts:
The American Petroleum Institute has recognized its ability to obtain influence by immersing itself in educational programs. The group has historically donated money to the National Science Teachers Association, who helped distribute a short film promoting the oil industry. API also created a website known as Classroom Energy, which promotes the "vital role of oil and natural gas in modern life," and offers lesson plans, oil and gas information, and even a merit badge program for the Boy Scouts of America. To earn an Energy Badge, boy scouts are offered a plethora of material concerning the necessity of oil and gas, how it's located and produced, and how it can be conserved.

First Day of Workouts – Josh Rawitch
If the sight of Eric Gagne on the mound doesn't excite Dodger fans, I'm not sure what will. Eric threw a bullpen session today, as did several other Dodgers, including Danys Baez and Derek Lowe. Also on the mound were some of the prospects you've all been hearing a lot about like Chad Billingsley and Justin Orenduff. No one is going full speed just yet, but the pop of the catcher's mitt was a great sound here at Dodgertown. Hundreds of fans were gathered around the "old strings" area, where Dodger greats like Sandy Koufax, Don Drysdale, Fernando Valenzuela and Orel Hershiser used to throw their 'pens, too.
Nomar Garciaparra also worked out at first base, which was great to see. As you might have read in the L.A. Times, he came down to Dodger Stadium earlier this month to work out with Eddie Murray and get a jump on Spring Training. That really impressed a lot of people around here – just the fact that he wanted to see what it was like to play the position at Dodger Stadium, knowing that he wouldn't be able to simulate game action at Chavez Ravine while he was at Dodgertown. In the photo, he and Grady Little got a chance to catch up out on one of the fields here after the drills were done.
A couple more guys arrived here today, including new shortstop Rafael Furcal. Not surprisingly, he was a little lost when I ran into him trying to find the clubhouse, as he'd never been here before as a member of the Dodgers. I was able to give him a ride on the golf cart and he got a chance to meet his new teammates and take his physical, which all players do upon their arrival.
As for the blog, the comments have been great so far, so keep them coming. We've had some good suggestions already and will continue to stay on top of your requests as best we can.

Hi Josh,
It's great hearing about what happens behind the scenes. It's going to be a great year for the Dodgers. If you bleed Blue…it's a very exciting time!! Keep up the great work and I look forward to reading more blogs.
Best always,
Pretty serious aliasing on Nomar's cap. Maybe you ought to think about using Photoshop to shrink these boys down to size before publishing them…
Josh –
You mentioned Nomar "wanted to see what it was like to play the position at Dodger Stadium." How much like DS are the ballparks in Dodgertown? Are the dimensions built the same so players get a feel for the foul lines and basepaths? I've always been curious about that…
Ready for another round of blog and go seek?
Hate to say it, but, I'm torn between winning and losing tonight. I'd like Kersh to do well and pick up a win. However, it will probably be better for the team in the long run if we completely tank the next 10-12 games.
Grady and Nomar, that brings back memories.
Yeah it does! Some good. Some not so good.
[UPDATED 3:39 p.m.: The statement from Ryan Kirkpatrick, an attorney for Frank McCourt:
"Jamie McCourt continues to live a lifestyle that simply is not sustainable. She has seven homes which Frank pays for, and despite many requests, she has refused to sell or rent any of them. No one needs seven houses. Beyond covering her home expenses, Frank has been paying her $225,000 a month to support her unrestrained style of living. Today's request by Frank simply reflects economic reality."
The statement from Matthew Hiltzik, a spokesman for Jamie McCourt:
"Frank's hypocrisy and deceit know no bounds. It's inexplicable that Frank has single-handedly destroyed the value of the Dodgers in the nearly two years since Jamie was last involved with the team. If Frank's personal financial situation is really so dire, why doesn't he just sell his half of the Dodger assets?"]
According to the filing, McCourt has incurred legal bills of $9.38 million over the last 12 months, not including any bankruptcy-related work. Of that total, $3.44 million remains unpaid.
Ain't divorce grand?
I figure 4 loses out of six is a good start.
Nice to see the time off didn't effect Fecal's hitting.
Ahhh! Glad to hear Vin again!
Nice throw Matthew!!!!
Wow! Nice start Juan!
Good start for Rivera. Ned's probably got his secretary typing up an overpriced 3 year contract.
Ha! I was just thinking the same thing.
Meet next year's starting LFer and say goodbye to Sands and Robinson.
I sure hope not. Sands is going to be the real deal.
Better hope Navarro doesn't have a good 2 week stretch or Ned will sign him up for 3 years and too much money.
Nothing good can come of this. The more wins, the more Ned wants to be a buyer. The better the new Juan does, the longer contract Ned will give him. 😦
It really is THAT predictable isn't it?
A genuine lose – lose situation no matter how you slice it with current ownership & management. 😦
I've never rooted for the Gnats or Braves – can't stand either team, but I'm sure hoping both go on long winning streaks.
Uribe power!!
There goes the shutout thanks to Urectum's blunder. .
This Dbacks team is scrappy. You can't have defensive lapses against them.
Up to the bullpen now. . .
There's a glimmer of hope we can still lose this game.
Mark Cuban's a guest on Bill Maher's Real Time tonight. Bill just gave him a Dodger hat on the air.
Hint hint.
Cuz he do the voodoo that doodoo we smell.
Guarantee Ned resigns MacDougal to 2-years, $6M.
Dumb question, I know. But, once again, why is Uribe on this team? And why is he hitting in the two-hole? Or should I say not hitting in the two-hole?
Uribe is a 2-hole if you ask me.
Jeez! Furcal has stunk it up really bad since coming off the DL. I'm ready for Gordon to come back.
Nothing like your 1-2 hitters batting .175 & .206 this late in the season.
Kuo got bad calls at the plate there.
Whew! Got interesting there at the end!
Damn it! The bullpen got the job done. Five game winning streak. Shit!
I really hate seeing Kuo get pull.

I hate the Yankees so much but how come they only have 9,723 wins ranked them 9th and they behind the Giants, Cubs, Dodgers, Cardinals, Braves, Reds, and Pirates.
To bad Cox retired and it would've probably been much better.
I wonder why MLB don't recognize the Dodgers and Cardinals wins in AA? Well apparently the Braves are the 3rd teams with 10,000 wins.

Play doesn't have to be elaborate or complicated to be fun and rewarding for both our Little Pnuts and ourselves. Sometimes the simplest of activities are the biggest winners. This leprechaun treasure hunt is an example of that. My Little Pnuts would do this activity over and over again and it couldn't be easier to set up and execute.
What You Will Need:
- Plastic cold coins (available this time of year at your local dollar store, craft store, or party store)
- A good imagination
- A few hiding places
Get Ready
Have your Little Pnut wait for you in another room (like their bedroom) while you hide gold coins all over the house.
Hunt for Gold
Help your Little Pnut hunt for the gold coins! Use clues like hot and cold if they need a little extra help.
It's that simple! I promise, your Little Pnut will have loads of fun and their imagination might even kick in a little bit. My Little Pnuts even spied a few "leprechauns" around the house when we were hunting for gold.
Try a few variations of your treasure hunt: Hide the gold coins in mounds of play dough for a quiet time version of this activity or take your hunt outside if weather allows. For a little extra learning have your Little Pnut count the coins after they have collected them. Hide a different number of coins each time and tell your Little Pnut how many you hid so they know how many they need to find.
Happy Playing!
Developmental Milestones:
This activities focuses on the following Developmental Milestones for your Little Pnuts: Imaginative Play, Creative Play & Co-operative Play

A brain tumor is an abnormal growth of tissue in the brain. The brain is part of the central nervous system (CNS). The CNS also includes the spinal cord. The main parts of the brain are:
Brain tumors start in the cells of the brain. They can be either of the below:
Brain tumors can occur at any age. Brain tumors that occur in infants and children are very different from adult brain tumors.
The most common type of brain tumor is a glioma. Gliomas begin from glial cells, which make up the supportive tissue of the brain. There are different types of glioma:
Other types of brain tumors include:
Doctors don't know why certain children develop a brain tumor. Rarely brain tumors are the result of exposure to radiation, or from a familial cancer syndrome.
Children with certain genetic conditions have an increased risk for tumors of the central nervous system. This includes children with:
Children who have had radiation therapy for other cancers of the head are also at an increased risk for a new brain tumor.
Symptoms vary depending on size and location of tumor. Symptoms can occur a bit differently in each child.
Growing tumors may cause increased pressure on the brain in the limited space in the skull. This is called increased intracranial pressure or ICP. This isn't usually the case in babies, since their skull bones haven't fully grown together. The pressure on the brain may cause symptoms such as:
Symptoms of brain tumors in the cerebrum can include:
Symptoms of brain tumors in the cerebellum can include:
Symptoms of brain tumors in the brainstem can include:
The symptoms of a brain tumor can be like other health conditions. Make sure your child sees a healthcare provider for a diagnosis.
Your child's healthcare provider will ask about your child's health history and symptoms. He or she will examine your child. This will include a neurological exam. The exam tests reflexes, muscle strength, eye and mouth movement, and coordination. Your child's healthcare provider may refer your child to a doctor specializing in the nervous system (neurologist or neurosurgeon) or to cancer specialist (oncologist). Your child may have tests such as:
These tests will show where and how much cancer there is in your child's body. These are important things to know when deciding how to best treat the cancer and what outcomes to expect. Some types of cancer use standard staging systems of numbers and letters to note this information and whether the cancer has spread. Brain tumors are not staged this way because they usually don't spread. Instead, when planning treatment and predicting outcomes, your child's doctors will look at things like:
The doctor will also consider the grade of the cancer cells. This is a measure of how quickly the cells are likely to grow and spread based on much the cancer cells look like normal cells. High-grade cancer cells look very different from normal cells and are more likely to grow and spread quickly.
Your child's doctor will talk to you about these things and recommend treatment for your child. These can be long and complex discussions. Be sure to ask questions and have the doctor explain things to you in a way you understand so you can make the best decisions for your child.
Since brain tumors in children are not common, it is important to find a healthcare team that has experience and skill in treating children with brain tumors.
Treatment may include one or more of the below:
Other treatments may include:
With any cancer, how well a child is expected to recover (prognosis) varies. Keep in mind:
A child may have complications from the tumor or from treatment, such as:
A child with a brain tumor needs ongoing care. Your child will be seen by oncologists and other healthcare providers to treat any late effects of treatment and to watch for signs or symptoms of the tumor returning. Your child will be checked with imaging tests and other tests. And your child may see other healthcare providers for problems from the tumor or from treatment. For example, your child may see an eye doctor (ophthalmologist) for vision problems.
Your child may need therapy to help with movement and muscle strength. This may be done by physical and occupational therapists. If your child's speech is affected, he or she may need help from a speech therapist. Your child may also need the help of other therapists for learning or emotional problems.
You can help your child manage his or her treatment in many ways. For example:
Call the healthcare provider if your child has:

Finding the 'miracle' fountain of Italy
By Ben Wedeman, CNN • Published 25th October 2013
Up next
In the hilltop town of
, southeast of
, I discovered I have a drinking problem. Not with wine or beer, but rather water.
The CNN crew had come here to do a story on what sounded like a veritable fountain of youth -- mineral water drunk by popes and princes for centuries for its rejuvenating properties, and that until a few decades ago you could only buy in pharmacies.
Since I've reached a point in my life where I sometimes feel my spring chicken days are behind me, I was eager to see what effect Fiuggi water would have on me.
The water is most famous for its ability to dissolve kidney stones, and that fame goes back hundreds of years. I confess I don't have kidney stones and had to go to
to find out what they are -- "a solid concretion or crystal aggregation formed in the kidneys from dietary minerals in the urine," caused by "low fluid intake and high dietary intake of animal protein, sodium, refined sugars, fructose and high fructose corn syrup, oxalate, grapefruit juice, and apple juice." Beyond that, we'll have to check with
CNN's Sanjay Gupta
Bored with Europe? Try the 'new Europe'
Anyway, Pliny the Elder (who lived in the first century BC) praised the "
healthy waters
" here, and we visited a house which still had a functioning cistern dating back to Roman times.
Anna Batisti, Fiuggi's technical director, has worked at the spa for thirty years. She told me the waters cured Pope Boniface VIII (1235-1303) of a severe case of kidney stones. She said that as soon as word of the pope's miraculous recovery spread among the ambassadors to the Vatican, casks of Fiuggi water were sent to Europe's reigning monarchs.
Michelangelo also suffered from kidney stones until he became a habitual drinker of Fiuggi water.
While at Fiuggi I met Father Giulio Albanese, who had spent a good chunk of his life as a missionary in Africa. He said that he had suffered for years from kidney stones, and didn't hesitate to describe the suffering in terms so graphic and disturbing it was painful to listen to and too detailed to pass CNN.com's editors.
That all came to an end when he followed the advice of an Italian doctor in Kenya who told him to go on a drinking binge in Fiuggi.
"I have to be sincere," Father Giulio told me. "At the beginning I was very skeptical. Then I decided to come and I can tell you, it really was a miracle," he declared. "I've managed to expel 41 kidney stones!"
Second lives: Alternative communities you can join
But it's not just kidney stones that Fiuggi treats. Fiuggi's medical director, Professor Renato Del Monaco, told me it cleans the kidneys and is also beneficial to the prostate gland, and "has the effect of keeping us young in every way, even for us men, it helps keep us young."
Indeed, off camera, one of the gentlemen quaffing glass after glass of Fiuggi told me it was the equivalent of "liquid Viagra."
This was confirmed to me by Lucia, a woman of a certain age, shall we say, who told me she came to Fiuggi because of her kidney stones, but her husband joined her because the waters, in her carefully chosen words, "made him more active."
To me, Fiuggi water itself seemed a bit flat. I'm accustomed to the water in Rome, which flows cool, clean and clear -- and free -- from the hundreds of fontanelli (little fountains) around the city (unlike Paris and London, in Rome there is no need to buy bottled water).
But despite the flatness, I figured I must immerse myself in the Fiuggi experience, so of course I over did it, downing perhaps two dozen glasses in just a few hours. For the rest of the day, and on the drive back to Rome, I had to stop every half hour to use the bathroom. I can't attest to its health giving properties, but Fiuggi water will definitely give your bladder a work out. I have to stop drinking like this.

Are you excited for Park and Recreation Month this year? We sure are and hope your answer is "YES!" We thought it would be fun to showcase how Park and Recreation Month can really be a great opportunity for your agency to engage with the community and generate awareness for all that you do to create healthy, happy, and prosperous communities.
Kelly Eddlemon from the City of Grand Prairie Parks, Arts & Recreation Department in Texas, writes how the agency took one promotion idea during the 2012 celebration of Park and Recreation Month and turned it into a great marketing and engagement strategy in their community that paid off in more ways than one.
When NRPA told the nation to "Get Wild" last July during national Park and Recreation Month, we did just that. And, what's more wild than giving away chances to win $10,000 in cash along with thousands of additional prizes? It was all based on a "Get Wild Jackpot Machine" and our Prize Patrol Team that went throughout the city promoting parks and recreation.
The first step was to get our staff on board with the campaign. Staff shirts were made with the "Get Wild" theme tied in with our department branding.
Grand Prairie staff members from all divisions show their commitment to building awareness about the park and rec profession during Park and Recreation Month 2012.
The Jackpot Machine was rented for the entire month of July from SCA Promotions who held the risk for the $10,000 jackpot prize in the event of a winner (which we didn't have, dangit!).
To capture people's attention and reinforce the branding for the department and Park and Recreation Month, each reel of the slot machine was custom printed with the various prizes, department logos and our mascot, Rascal. The graphics on the front of the machine were also branded with the "Get Wild" theme.
Once we had the promotion in place, we put together a calendar with all the places Rascal and the Prize Patrol Team (dressed in their Get Wild t-shirts, of course) would visit throughout the month. In addition to various city facilities, we partnered with private businesses to host the promotion at their location. Usually the visits were during higher traffic times, such as lunch or dinner times at restaurants. The promotion was also at several AirHogs baseball games – Grand Prairie's independent baseball team that plays at QuikTrip Park.
In order to spin the reels, we asked that each participant fill out a form to enter our e-mail club, The Grand Fun Club, which we use to send out information on special events, ticket giveaways, etc.
By the end of the promotion, thousands of people were engaged through social media as well as in-person, and our team gathered more than 500 new emails! Unfortunately, no one hit the jackpot, but everyone had a good time. Lots of Get Wild t-shirts, water guns, beach balls, tattoos, rounds of golf, cabin stays, pavilion rentals, swim passes, sno-cones (from one of our partners), AirHogs tickets and more were given away and we informed participants more about parks and recreation. Overall, the promotion was a huge success!
Our department is planning on having a bunch of fun with this year's theme, I [Heart] My Park & Recreation, with lots of social media and in-person engagement through various promotions.
Being in the profession, we know how much parks and recreation improve our community, but we want to hear those personal stories. And, we need others who don't understand how essential parks and recreation are to a successful community to hear them as well. We're looking forward to another successful July and hope that we can play our part in educating the nation on the importance of our profession.
What are some ways that your agency is planning to celebrate Park and Recreation Month this year? How do you engage with your community to get them aware of the important role parks and recreation play in conservation, health and wellness and social equity? What successes have you had in the past by celebrating Park and Recreation Month?
Editor's Note: Tons of resources are available to help you get involved in Park and Recreation Month and raise awareness in your community – all for FREE!
