A lawyer who represents Chicago cops accused of misconduct has alerted the president of the police union that federal law enforcement is investigating certain police-involved shootings.
In a letter dated Aug. 29, attorney Daniel Herbert told Fraternal Order of Police President Dean Angelo that the FBI and U.S. Attorney's Office were probing shootings "in which an offender's gun was not recovered."
The letter did not reveal the shootings under investigation.
A copy of Herbert's letter was first posted earlier today on the Second City Cop blog.
Herbert could not be reached for comment, and spokespeople for the FBI and U.S. Attorney's Office declined to comment. But Angelo confirmed he received the letter from Herbert.
"I didn't hear about any particular officer, any particular case, any particular investigation," he said. "But I did remind our guys that they have rights like everyone else."

News__ Jeremy Scott Flintstone Heels
| By Hana May
Yabbadabbadoo in these shoes. First spotted at Jeremy's Scotts recent runway show, these Jeremy Scott Spring 2010 Bone-Bow heels, were created for adidas' contemporary line SLVR. You'd be as cute as Pebbles Flinstone or as stylish as Betty Rubble in these slip on suede heels, but supposedly only four pairs are available for sale and by the time you make it over to Front Row, they'll probably be gone.

Emeril's One Pot Cooking Party: Stir-Fried Pork Salad
So…here I go again changing Emeril's recipes. I do not think I am a better or more knowledgeable chef than Emeril Lagasse. In fact, that idea is laughable. I just know what my husband and I like. This is the fifth installment of the Emeril series–here are parts 1, 2, 3 and 4.
This recipe started off as Wok-Seared Duck Salad. It's from Emeril's new cookbook Sizzling Skillets and Other One Pot Wonders. First problem: I don't have a wok–but I do have plenty of large frying pans. Second problem: Hubs doesn't like duck. Third problem: It has a Thai bird chile in it and fish sauce and both of those ingredients scare me. Go ahead and judge me. I'm all about transparency–just telling you like it is.
But did I toss the recipe out and say forget it? No way! Especially since this was one of the select few recipes I am allowed to share with you. In fact, it is even better for you because you get two recipes for the price of one! (Free.) I would just give you his recipe and tell you what I did to "tweak" it, but I'm not going to lie…my version is almost unrecognizable. Sorry Emeril. Let's just say you inspired me. You did! (I'm assuming he is reading this…ha!)
I also added veggies. Are you surprised? I added orange bell peppers and snow peas.
It already had bean sprouts, red leaf lettuce and tons of fresh herbs. I gave the herbs a quick mince, but I believe Emeril leaves them whole in his recipe. Do whatever you prefer–I like the smaller pieces running throughout the salad. They actually kind of adhered to the pork slices–delicious!
Wok-Seared Duck Salad (Emeril's Recipe)
2 tablespoons uncooked jasmine rice
1 tablespoon minced fresh red Thai bird chile
2 magret duck breasts (about 12 ounces each) or 1 ½ pounds other domestic duck breasts
1/3 cup minced shallot
1 ½ tablespoons peeled and minced fresh ginger
¼ cup fish sauce (see page 213)
¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1 ½ teaspoons palm sugar or light brown sugar
½ cup fresh cilantro leaves
½ cup fresh mint leaves
½ cup fresh basil leaves
1 medium head of red leaf lettuce, washed and torn into bite-sized pieces
2 cups bean sprouts
1 cup julienned red bell pepper
1. Heat a wok over medium-high heat and add the rice. Toast the rice, shaking the wok constantly, until all the grains have turned golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the rice to a mortar and set aside to cool. Once the rice has cooled, grind it using a pestle until it reaches a sandy consistency. Alternatively, grind the toasted rice in a clean spice grinder. Place the rice in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
2. Place the chile in the wok over medium-high heat and cook, shaking the wok, until lightly colored and fragrant, 30 to 60 seconds. Remove the chile from the pan and add to the bowl with the rice.
3. Using a paring knife, score the fatty side of the duck breasts by making shallow cuts in a diamond pattern; this allows the fat to render more easily. Place the duck breasts in the wok, fatty side down, and cook over medium heat until the skin is golden brown and slightly crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the duck breasts to a cutting board, slice them into thin strips, and return the strips to the wok. Add the shallot and ginger and stir-fry over medium-high heat until the duck is just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer the duck from the wok to the bowl with the rice and chile and set aside.
4. In a small bowl, combine the fish sauce, lime juice, orange juice, and palm sugar and mix well. Pour the mixture over the duck and toss until well coated. Add the cilantro, mint, basil, lettuce, bean sprouts, and julienned red pepper and toss to combine.
5. Serve the salad immediately.
Stir-Fried Pork Salad (My Version)
1 ½ pounds boneless pork chops, thinly sliced into small pieces
1/3 cup minced shallot
1 ½ tablespoons peeled and minced fresh ginger
¼ cup hoisin sauce
1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1 ½ teaspoons light brown sugar
½ cup fresh cilantro leaves, minced
½ cup fresh mint leaves, minced
½ cup fresh basil leaves, minced
1 medium head of red leaf lettuce, washed and torn into bite-sized pieces
2 cups bean sprouts
1 cup julienned red bell pepper
1 cup julienned orange bell pepper
1 cup snow peas
1. Using a sharp knife slice the pork chops into thin strips, and place in a frying pan with 1 Tbsp olive oil, heated over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and ginger and stir-fry over medium-high heat until the pork is just cooked through.
4. In a small bowl, combine the fish sauce, lime juice, orange juice, and palm sugar and mix well. Pour the mixture over the pork and toss until well coated. Add the cilantro, mint, basil, lettuce, bean sprouts, and julienned red pepper and toss to combine–I stir-fried this whole mix for about 2 minutes to get the veggies softened up a little bit. That is completely optional.
5. Pour this mixture over the lettuce and serve immediately.
Verdict: At first I was skeptical, but I ended up really enjoying this salad. My version was kind of half stir-fry, half salad. I loved all the fresh flavors of the herbs and the vegetables. The mild flavor of the pork soaked up the dressing and was really delicious. I loved how I felt satisfied after this meal but I didn't have that heavy, over-full feeling you get after eating…say a pizza dinner.
Husband's take: I told a white lie and told him this was a stir-fry (he says eating salad for dinner isn't manly). I guess it isn't really a lie–it was a stir-fry, it was just served over lettuce instead of rice. Long story short, he loved this. He went back for seconds, and I think even maybe thirds.
Changes I would make: I might go a little lighter on the dressing–there was a lot sitting at the bottom of the bowl.
Difficulty: Easy!
Also, we have a winner for the Zak! giveaway–check and see if it is you!

Ask VC if they are willing to sign an NDA and you will probably get the answer provided byMarc Andreessen from Andressen-Horovitz at Quora: We almost never sign NDAs. The only exception is for certain late-stage growth rounds with companies that are very far along. This is the same position you will find most other venture capital firms take. Basically asking VC to sign an NDA on one of the first meeting is like asking a girl on a first date to sing a prenup. Good luck with that.
When you meet the investors, you should always remember that they are looking for ventures to invest in. The ones that will help them earn more, not less. Entrepreneurs are too often all about technology and a lot less about making a relationship work. The challenge is that they get so caught up in describing their technology that they forget that ultimately the investors are people. And sure they care about technology because that is how they are going to make money. But apart from being interested in technology they want to know precisely how you are going to make money. And that is when you need to talk traction but not the valuation. You do not need to talk valuation during your pitch. You do not even need to talk valuation during the first meetings with investors. Just get the investors sold on by talking how you are going to make them a lot of money.
And one more thing do not wave NDA in their face. Just Don't! Why? First of all because, the idea — it's no big deal. If it's any good, someone has had it before and someone will have it again. If you're still convinced it's that good, go file a patent first, and then go talk about it. Keep in mind that investors outside of big tech (cleantech, biotech…) automatically have a bias against "patented" ideas, and most brilliance seems obvious in hindsight. Ask an investor to sign an NDA, and you've just filtered out all but the most desperate investors. I have once listened to a startup who pitched at a startup competition who asked the audience not to record, not to take pictures and not to note. As if they were saying… leave the room or "sign the NDA". Their idea was interesting but there were at least dozen of similar ideas on the market already. They have actually made a laughing stock of themselves. Needles to say they did not win the hearts and minds of the investors.
One more peculiar thing happened when Paula Pul from Lawmore organised a speed date with VC for polish startups. The willing and able were supposed to register online to benefit from this nicely organised event. It was for their own good to meet with the VC and present their ideas and ventures. One startup however (I will save them and not mention them) decided to write prior registration that they will register but the organisers need to sign an NDA first (sic!). Needless to say no one signed the NDA. When I once talked about this in my other post on InnPoland one of the guys made a comment that VC could simply sign the NDA for the sake of it. As, in his opinion, it would make things easier. Well, it wouldn't. We live in different realities. VC meet hundreds, if not thousands of startups. 90% of those startups present the ideas that are not genuinely new. They offer slightly different solutions to the same problem. If the VC signed NDAs with all of them, they would clearly be not able to talk about anything in a blink of an eye. If you are a startup looking for funds you gotta play the game. And that game does not include waving NDAs everywhere you go. Trust me. And trust VCs I work with. Plus make trust one of your values, like Sam Altman who says: I operate in business assuming people won't screw me. occasionally I get really screwed. It's still worth it.

When Domain Associates unveiled an initiative to commercialize new healthcare technologies in China last year, partner Brian Halak said one of the big challenges would be getting biomedical innovators to license their technologies for the huge, but still-developing market.
The venture firm, which is based in San Diego and Princeton, NJ, has been thinking outside the box for the past few years in terms of developing new business models for venture investing in the life sciences. Halak told me last year that the concept of Domain's initiative in China was comparable in some ways to The Foundry, the Menlo Park, CA-based incubator for medical devices.
Now, after 13 months, the partnership that Domain established with Elite Consulting in Beijing is announcing its first move—although it's not a licensing deal per se. Instead, the Domain Elite partnership says it has invested $6.5 in Smart Medical Systems, an Israeli company with innovative endoscopy and colonoscopy products, as part of a multi-phase effort to move Smart Medical's gastrointestinal technologies into China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.
Domain Elite has some other deals in the works as well, and Halak says each one has been structured a little differently. In the Smart Medical deal, Halak said a tight collaboration with the device maker proved to be a better approach than trying to in-license the Israeli company's technology.
Smart Medical has a subsidiary in Hong Kong, and apparently already had ambitions in the region. Still, it can be difficult for a small company to pursue the healthcare market in China. So part of Domain Elite's $6.5 million investment is allocated directly to the subsidiary, according to a joint statement being released today.
Smart Medical, founded in 2005 in Ra'anana, Israel, has developed an approach that incorporates balloon catheters in the design of its endoscopes and colonoscopes, the medical devices that use a flexible tube equipped with a camera to look at the inside the human digestive tract. An endoscopy procedure examines the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract (the esophagus, stomach, and small intestines) while a colonoscopy looks at the lower portion of the GI (large intestine, colon, and rectum).
In the United States, such examinations are used mostly to screen for signs of cancer along the inner wall of the GI tract. The device used in the exam also has a tool that can be used to remove pre-cancerous polyps in the gut.
Smart Medical's flagship product is designed with a balloon that can be inflated to make it easier for doctors to find pre-cancerous polyps, which can be obscured by the natural folds of the colon. The company also has designed another balloon device that attaches to the end of its endoscope, so doctors using the device can advance the endoscope faster and farther into the gut.

Last spring, the Association of News Editors (ASNE) announced that the percentage of minority news employees at American newspapers and news websites had declined for the third consecutive year, even as the overall percentage of non-white Americans continued to rise rapidly.
It was not the stuff of national headlines. But perhaps, given the slow initial reaction of the American news media to the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, it should have been.
In 2010, just 12.79 percent of editorial employees were minorities, ASNE reported, down about a half percent from the year before.
Noted ASNE President Milton Coleman:
"At a time when the U.S. Census shows that minorities are 36 percent of the U.S. population, newsrooms are going in the opposite direction. This is an accuracy and credibility issue for our newsrooms."
While the percentage of minority representation was better in television -- about 1 in 5, RTNDA's national survey of women and minorities shows the percentage of African-American news employees in television was lower in 2011 than in any of the prior six years, lower than in 2000 and lower than in 1995. In print, nearly a third of black journalists left or were laid off in the first decade of this century as newsrooms shrank their full-time workforces by a quarter.
As the American public watches, riveted at each new development in the Martin case -- the 911 tapes; a video showing the man who shot him, George Zimmerman, brought into Sanford, Fla., police headquarters; an interview with Martin's undertaker, who says he saw no signs of a struggle in preparing the boy's body for burial -- it is easy to forget how slowly the story surfaced.
In the first couple of weeks following the Feb. 26 fatal shooting and Zimmerman's release after claiming self-defense under Florida's so-called "stand your ground" law, few Americans knew anything about it.
In fact, the news coverage was so sparse after Zimmerman walked away that night without charges, a physical examination or any subsequent investigation that the public radio show "On the Media" on March 23 devoted two segments to the issue of the case's coverage.
The show's co-host, Brooke Gladstone, interviewed two African-American journalists -- Trymaine Lee of The Huffington Post and Ta-Nehisi Coates of The Atlantic, who were among the few to cover the story early. They are interviews worth hearing.
"I think we're still dealing with complications of race and stereotype, even within our newsrooms," Lee told Gladstone when she asked why the media had been slow to respond.
Later Gladstone, who noted these two men and black columnist Charles Blow of The New York Times kept the Martin shooting before a national audience, said, "I just think that makes a very strong argument for diversity in the newsroom."
It's too early to know how the Trayvon Martin case will be resolved. But the verdict is in on whether American newsrooms have worked hard enough in recent years to diversify, and it is a resounding "no."
This isn't a small matter.
Years ago, I worked as a consultant for the Maynard Institute, an Oakland, Calif., organization dedicated to the integration and improvement of journalism. It believes, among other things, that one of journalism's highest callings is "to see ourselves and our communities whole."
That is difficult to do when the vast majority of news leaders see those communities through the prism of white America. (Yes, a good reporter can provide insight into anyone's life experience. But reporters and managers are nonetheless shaped -- in their outlook and story interests -- by the various components of their own backgrounds.)
In an article on the Trayvon Martin case, Maynard Institute President Dori Maynard put it this way:
"I don't know George Zimmerman. I don't know whether he is racist, and I have no idea what was in his heart and mind when he shot and killed the 17-year-old.
I do know that if Zimmerman consumes news, it's likely that he's being fed a steady diet of distorted and scary images of black men.
A content audit released last October by The Opportunity Agenda (TOA) in New York examined coverage of black men and boys found that often missing from that coverage is mention of legions of boys and men of color who rise every morning and go to school or serve in the military, who are businessmen, schoolteachers, doctors, lawyers, scientists, stay-at-home dads, bloggers and more.
That one-sided portrait of a multidimensional community has consequences for all of us."
Most white Americans I know, academics included, bristle at the term "institutional racism." It is a form of racism that can be unintentional and carried out without malice. It also is deeply embedded in the way American society goes about its business. It refers to a world in which institutions operate in ways that reflect the stereotypes and cultural beliefs ingrained in the dominant, white culture -- the very thing Maynard is writing about.
In newsrooms, as elsewhere, those ingrained misperceptions affect coverage. When a white kid gets shot and killed in a wealthy suburb, no one sits around a newsroom wondering whether the story is worth covering. This is big news. But when a black kid gets killed somewhere less affluent -- and especially if that kid is wearing a hoodie -- it is seen, as Lee told Gladstone, as another "garden-variety killing."
Such assumptions shape the nature, speed and depth of coverage -- assumptions like, "something bad must have been going down; the kid, undoubtedly, was up to no good." And the story either doesn't get covered, or gets covered perfunctorily.
That is institutional racism. And, I suspect, it helped shape the slow response to the Trayvon Martin story.
If journalists are going to see their communities whole, they need to stop trafficking in stick figures, stop making assumptions -- for example, that kids who wear hoodies are somehow "hoods," or that kids who are born with a certain skin color mean more harm to others than those who aren't.

These are some old logs in our campsite. You can see a bit of our tent in the background.
This plant is called mountain misery (Chamaebatia foliolosa). I don't know why it's called that, but our campsite was completely surrounded by this stuff on all sides - which, in retrospect, seems unfortunately appropriate. I actually picked out this campsite specifically because it was surrounded by mountain misery - since all the other campsites were surrounded by poison oak instead, and also had poison oak growing all over the ground in the middle of the campsites too. Ours had a bit of poison oak in the middle and a bit more around the edges, but much less than the others. We had more mountain misery instead.
We also had many young madrone trees (Arbutus menziesii) in our campsite. I was trying to photograph this one (the shrub in the right foreground) when Boston decided that she wanted to pose next to it. The trees shown are redwood (Sequoia gigantea) at left, interior live oak (Quercus wislizenii) in the background, and Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) at right.
Even though it's a bit blurry, I really love this picture of Boston running gleefully through our campsite early Saturday morning. (That's a whole grove of young madrones she was running through.)
These are Mexican pinks (Silene laciniata) that I saw along the road when I took Boston for a walk on the trail Saturday morning, while Susan and Taco were napping in the tent.
This is the creek that the trail crossed over. This is also where I had to return to the campsite for new camera batteries.
This is the same creek, facing downstream instead. By this point I had come back with Susan, and we had left Taco behind.
These flowers are called Pacific bleeding heart (Dicentra formosa) - another eerily appropriate plant name. They were growing everywhere along the road to the campground, and I kept hoping to see them up close after we arrived. We finally found them along the trail. Shortly after we found them, we turned back the way we had come.
When we crossed back over that same creek, I noticed tiny shooting stars (Dodecatheon clevelandii) growing next to the creek. They were so tiny that it was impossible to get a good photograph of them. If you can see three pale lavender blurs on the end of a tall red stem toward the left . . . those are them.
While I was trying to photograph the shooting stars, Boston was posing expectantly in the creek.
Then we reached the start of the trail again and discovered that Taco was missing. We spent all afternoon searching for him, and much of the evening, so I took no more pictures that day.
On Sunday morning I suddenly noticed moose horn violets (Viola lobata) all along the road. I had walked past here many times before without noticing them.
We returned to the trailhead area to search for Taco one more time. This is the trailhead. The trail went up along that diagonal log in the distance and over the ridge. Taco followed us over the ridge, but hardly any farther than that at all.
This exposed cliff was across the road from the trailhead, in the direction of our campsite. The steepness and especially the total absence of vegetation on the sides of it indicate that it didn't erode that way naturally; it was damaged by hydraulic mining during the gold rush. Hydraulic mining methods poisoned cliffsides by concentrating toxic heavy metals, and hard-rock mining further poisoned them by using arsenic or mercury to leach gold from solid rock. As a result, no plants can grow in the poisoned areas.
This dead tree was down the road, behind the campsite of the last people who saw Taco. They said he went in this general direction.
So we went the same direction. Beyond the dead tree was a pile of mine tailings, further evidence of the lingering environmental destruction wrought by the Gold Rush.
Beyond the mine tailings was a pond surrounded by more dead trees. An old tire was floating in the pond.
It seemed like an appropriate place to die, surrounded by so much devastation.
Somewhere around here, Taco must have walked off into the underbrush and never come out again.
The last photograph I took was of the flowers growing near where Taco disappeared. These are buckbrush flowers (Ceanothus cuneatus).

Actors who take home Daytime Emmys later this year will truly mean it when they thank their peers for their votes.
The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, in response to the wishes of the daytime community, altered the nomination method that had been used for the past several years. The previous procedure included a pre-nomination process in which each soap opera selected two (occasionally three) actors for each performing category. Then, those performers would submit a reel of their work to determine who the final nominees (and winners) would be.
But for the 37th annual Daytime Emmys, any actor who wanted to throw his or her hat in the ring could do so — leading to a first round of 89 "pre-nominees" in 2010. This has made the process more equitable — in theory.
"We know very few people in this business (who) look at the other work being done in it," says TV Guide soap columnist Michael Logan. "When casting their votes, (actors) are just as likely to vote for someone that they hung out with on a soap cruise as they are to vote for someone whose work they're really impressed with."
Peter Bergman, a three-time lead actor Daytime Emmy winner for his role on "The Young and the Restless," approves of this year's change in the voting process, contending that the previous one prevented many deserving actors from even getting in the race.
"I think (NATAS and the community) are trying to inch away from (the previous) system, and this year is the first step towards that end," Bergman says.
Axed sudser "Guiding Light" (which ended in September) was eligible to receive nominations, but is not represented in key categories because actors did not propose themselves. Crystal Chappell, who played Olivia on "Light," had to fill out her own paperwork to score a lead actress pre-nomination, since the show's production company no longer exists.
"I am surprised we don't have more pre-noms," says Chappell. "Last summer was a hard time closing the show, and maybe the Emmys were not on people's minds, but they are obviously a talented group."
Four-time Emmy-winner Susan Flannery ("The Bold and the Beautiful") has a solution to make voters become more informed.
"Why couldn't each show put on its website a one-minute clip of actors' work throughout the year?" she asks. "It would make people more familiar with who's out there."
The absence of such a time-saving system today has Flannery, and perhaps other actors, erring on the side of casting no vote rather than an uninformed one.
"I couldn't vote this year for any of the younger leading actor or actress (candidates)," Flannery says. "I didn't know enough of them and I didn't think it would be fair to vote for anyone."

I've find it somewhat appropriate that the effects of global warming are becoming obvious in Oklahoma, a state that has repeatedly elected a U.S. Senator who claims climate-change science is a vast, conspiratorial hoax.
The temperatures keep going up here, the state is even in the national spotlight about it and U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe's fight against science and rationality seems punier than ever.
Recently, the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), determined through a recalculation that Oklahoma, not Texas, actually had the hottest summer ever recorded last year with an average temperature of 86.9 degrees. The month of July, 2011 was the hottest month ever recorded at 89.3 degrees.
Previously, the hottest summer on record was in 1934 in Oklahoma as well.
An excellent Huffington Post article on the new data pointed out the longstanding rivalry between Texas and Oklahoma doesn't extend to scorching temperatures and drought.
Meanwhile, though we've had some cooling rains in recent days, the month of May in Oklahoma was the fifth warmest on record with an average temperature at 72.2 degrees, according to Oklahoma Mesonet, which noted the "recent warmth is a continuation of what the state has experienced since early 2010."
The May temperatures, as most Oklahomans know, followed a mild, warm winter, the 11th warmest in history here, according to Mesonet.
Neither Oklahoma Mesonet nor the NDCD made global warming claims in the release of their data, but it does appear we're warming up here in Oklahoma and it's not unreasonable to consider climate change as a factor.
An Associated Press article about the recent warm winter throughout the country put it this way:
The magnitude of how unusual the year has been in the U.S. has alarmed some meteorologists who have warned about global warming. One climate scientist said it is the weather equivalent of a baseball player on steroids, with old records obliterated.
It's also not unreasonable to conclude that man-made carbon emissions created by the use of fossil fuels are contributing to overall, warmer temperatures. The basic science continues to show this is the case despite Inhofe's attacks. It's also just common sense. Poisonous gases released into the atmosphere in large quantities surely have an environmental impact.
Oklahoma's warming weather could be seen as a major smackdown of Inhofe's crusade, but it's highly unlikely the senator will stop with the conspiracy theories anytime soon. Inhofe has even claimed "victory" in his fight, though it's unclear just what that victory means against the prevailing scientific data.
Obviously, one hot summer or one warm winter in Oklahoma doesn't mean we're approaching a doomsday soon, but when the local data is combined with planetary trends and scientific evidence it begins to add up.
Inhofe's home state is getting national attention when it comes to global warming, but even that probably won't deter him. Meanwhile, the amount of campaign contributions from the oil and gas industry that Inhofe receives--$491,000 since 2007--make his claims automatically suspect.

Action was taken in one of at least three West Virginia lawsuits against Chesapeake Energy relating to waste pits and their toxic contents. A federal judge has issued a temporary restraining order against Chesapeake Energy to stop the company from removing contaminated soil from the area of a buried waste pit on a Wetzel Co. couple's property. A lawsuit has been filed by Larry and Jana Rine alleging that Chesapeake created a large lined waste pond, then dug an adjacent pond and deliberately breached the pond to allow the liquids to drain into the unlined impoundment. "After disposal of the liquids into the unlined hole, a thicker material remained in the pond with the ripped liner," the suit says. "Chesapeake placed the lining material over the top of the remnant waste, then covered the entire pond and its remaining contents with soil."
The attorney for the Rines says that the attempt to remove the contaminated soil to mix with materials to use in the repair of a slip is simply an excuse to haul away the waste and cover up what was dumped in the pit. "These cases are common sense and common law," said Brian Glasser, a Charleston lawyer who represents the Rines and and has filed two other similar cases against Chesapeake. "You can't bury a bunch of waste in someone's yard. It's that simple." The grounds for the suit is that dumping and burying waste is not "reasonably necessary" – the legal test for activities allowed by state natural gas laws.
Burying of waste pits is a common industry practice. Chesapeake denies any wrongdoing. A company spokesperson said, "Chesapeake does believe that its activities are prudent and entirely within its lease and property rights."
Public health and environmental groups campaigned during the past legislative session for the use of closed loop systems to eliminate the holding pit system. Groundwater contamination has occurred in the vicinity of drilling waste pits pits. There is also concern regarding air pollution from volatile organic compounds in the waste fluids. As a compromise position, groups demanded that law be enacted to require the use of a reinforced liner system and proper disposal of pit liners. No protective legislation was passed during the 2011 legislative session.

People have been sending me quite a lot of anatomy tattoos over the past few months and I finally finished putting together a showcase of all the anatomical ink. Where possible I've tried to include the person's story/explanation of their tattoos.
I also started another group on Flickr called Anatomy Tattoos to expand the collection and have a place for people to submit their own anatomical tattoos.
Anatomical heart tattoo submitted by David Cundy. It looks like the tattoo artist just effortlessly sketched the tattoo directly on his chest.
The significance behind the tattoo is similar to others on the site in that following a scary hospital stay, which can make one think deeply on life, death and the transient body I found an unexpected inspiration to tattoo the heart as the central physical life force, symbol of love, housing of the soul and blood pump. Of course the heart is also a long running theme in stylised form in tattoos so I liked the idea of un-stylising it and going for an anatomically correct version. The Tattoo was done by Mantas http://www.mantas-tattoo.com/ in Brighton U.K. and I have to say this man is an expert he completed it in fine detail in about an hour and a half – I'm tempted to have lungs next but maybe less is more!
Anatomical heart tattoo on foot submitted by Kate Blaharski.
Here's the tattoo that I got on my honeymoon last April. I'm normally pretty straight-laced and I decided that I wanted to do one "wild" thing in my life and get a tattoo. So I figured that it should be chosen from a subject matter that I'm passionate about –anatomy. This tattoo was done at Starlight Tattoo in the Mandalay Bay casino in Las Vegas by Joey. I love the fascinated reaction that most people have towards my tattoo.
Heart grenade submitted by Nate. Very interesting concept, I wish I knew the story behind this one!
Skeleton with girl submitted by Caroline.
That design is my best friend Kelly's artwork, her little brother Brent is a tattoo artist so he did it for me for free!
The design was originally a print that Kelly did back when we were in college at ECU. When it was time for her class to critique the peice, everyone thought it was creepy and morbid — but that wasn't her intention with the piece at all, she thought it was sweet.
To me, this design makes me think of not being afraid of death (that wasn't kellys intention) but that's what it makes me think of and why i loved it so much.
Check out more of Kelly's artwork here.

Anatomical calf muscle tattoo submitted by Johnny Middlefinger. Done by Taylor Mills of Wizard's World of Tattoo, Exeter, PA
Heart tattoos done and submitted by Leah Neuhauser.
Hello, my name is Leah Neuhauser, I am a tattoo artist/piercer and shop owner in PA… these are two anatomy tattoo's I did. I just ran across your page searching for anatomy and tattoos… I actual went to college for scientific illustration, so its pretty awesome to combine my two loves…

How is everyone doing the belt buckles? Is anyone making them? Maybe just using an RFT buckle? Asking, mainly because I am getting ready to make this costume in time for Celebration (among others), and I'd rather find something I can slap onto the belt, bam, done

Well, I thought about that, but the blank buckle is only 2-5/8" wide.... the Luke belt needs to be at least 3", and the buckle is the same width as the belt. I'll probably end up cutting out an octagon from sheet metal, and attach it to a blank buckle.
I just was hoping that someone was making the wider buckles to save some time/effort..... I am looking at making a Crait Luke outfit, 5 X-wing suits/vests, 2 RFT vests, 3 Rebel officer uniforms, an A-wing suit, and an imperial officer uniform, all in time for Celebration, so any shortcuts I can find will be awesome

I know this hasnt been touched in a while, but as Im working on my own costume I wanted to share a note that should be adjusted on the standard.
The belt hook is always present, even after the lightsaber is removed.
The hook seems to be between 2-2.5 away from the buckle, and yes in some shots it is obscured by the trench coat, but here it can clearly be seen after the lightsaber hilt has been removed near the end of the Luke/Kylo duel.

The hook appears to be about 1-1.25 tall and hangs much higher than OT belt hooks; the J bottom curve is just below the bottom of the belt itself, nearly flush, with the hook coming up over the front of the belt itself for 1/3-1/2 of the belts height.
If I had to speculate, I would guess its something akin to a holster grip hook, just attached upside down.
Not this exact model, but imagine a slightly smoother, silver version of this upside down:

I don't know if this is currently active in the standards forum, but if it is you should make the above comment there, so people working on it sees it.

I am trying to lose weight so I can do this same outfit but with his RotJ saber. In one of the recent comics they show Luke in this same outfit but wielding his RotJ saber.
This was in The Rise of Kylo Ren comic book.
Do or do not...there is no try.

Our range is largely individually, hand-made pieces. As the majority of our products are made from natural materials, elements such as texture, colour and pattern may vary piece to piece.
Reclaimed timbers, naturally weathered materials and off-cuts otherwise discarded are frequently part of Uniqwa design features. Over time, natural splitting, cracking and loss of natural oils may occur and form part of the characteristics and beauty of Uniqwa products. These are not viewed as imperfections or faults, rather part of the natural life and beauty of timber.
We believe the use of natural materials and hand-crafted elements result in a testament to the unique qualities found in materials originating from nature.

It's no secret that in Colorado, we're graced with a ton of sunshine -- so much, in fact, that we brag about it (300 whole days of sunshine a year, if you just moved here last week and haven't heard). In honor of our great weather and equally boast-worthy bar-and-restaurant scene -- as well as a thermometer climbing to 100 today -- here's a list (in no particular order) of some of the best patios for enjoying all that Colorado weather has to offer.
See also: - Denver's five best patios to celebrate the arrival of spring (despite the snow) - Best of Denver 2013: Best Club Patio - Vinyl - Ten reasons why Lakeside Amusement Park rules
Linger 2030 West 30th Avenue 303-993-3120 Last year, Linger's patio lost one of the city's best views to a building project that obstructed the restaurant's soaring panorama. But the rooftop spot -- perched just under the massive neon sign of the old Olinger Mortuary -- is still a great place to spend a summer evening. Long, narrow high-top tables give part of Linger's outdoor space a bar-room feel, while lower-level seating offers a breezy look at the city. Patrons can watch bartenders concocting cocktails out of the converted vintage Winnebago parked on the roof -- but it's hard to take your eyes off that stretch of downtown skyline. Vine Street Pub 1700 Vine Street 303-388-2337 Boulder-based Mountain Sun found the perfect spot for its Denver outpost in the Vine Street Pub a few years ago -- and multiple patios were part of that perfect package. There are plenty of places to sit, relax and eat along East 17th Avenue, but Vine Street's street-side space feels like an additional dining room that shares the sidewalk rather than crowding it. Around the corner, the west-facing patio is often overtaken by cruiser bikes, strollers and rounds of cornhole, the lawn game that goes so well with housemade beer of both the alcoholic and root persuasions. Cafe|Bar 295 South Pennsylvania Street 303-362-0227 Cafe|Bar is tucked into a building at the highly trafficked corner of Pennsylvania Street and Alameda Avenue; before you've stepped inside, it's hard to imagine that Cafe|Bar could have much in the way of outdoor atmosphere. But the owners have made the most of their location with a lovely enclosed patio, with high stone walls and lush greenery accenting the casual spot's simple table-and-umbrella setup. Mature trees on and around the property provide just enough shade during the day, with sunlight cutting through the foliage to light the oasis; at night, subtle candlelight augments Cafe|Bar's comfy, hang-around vibe. Racines 650 Sherman Street 303-595-0418 When Racines closed its original location on Bannock Street and built a brand-new restaurant a few blocks away, the Denver mainstay smartly added a parking garage -- and a giant patio, too. With one tier of the outdoor dining area fully covered by an awning, eating outside even on Denver's hottest summer days can be a treat. A smaller section at the front features individual umbrellas and lets in some serious sunlight -- but also provides a place where you can park your furry friends, just beyond the confines. For brunch, lunch, dinner or just coffee, Racines' patio is worth the wait -- and wait you will in the summer. MCA Denver 1485 Delgany Street 303-298-7554 Hidden on top of the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver's gorgeous building at the corner of 15th and Delgany streets is a roof deck that's become the place to be on summer nights. The view here isn't so much of the city (a building project across the street is putting an end to that) as it is of the people who flock to this semi-secret spot to enjoy drinks and conversation after work. With the summer season come later hours at the museum and programming geared to a crowd thirsty for intellectual stimulation as well as cocktails. El Noa Noa 722 Santa Fe Drive 303-623-9968 There's nothing fancy about El Noa Noa's patio -- but that's what makes the longtime Mexican restaurant's outdoor space great. Hidden away from the bustling Art District on Santa Fe, with its hordes of First Friday art walkers, the spacious patio has plenty of seating, some trees, and a waterfall that helps drown out the street noise. And on weekends, there's live music to entertain the guests. Paramount Cafe 519 16th Street 303-893-2000 A mainstay on the 16th Street Mall for more than 25 years, the Paramount Cafe could have the town's best seats for people-watching, as tourists, buskers, shoppers and business types share the pedestrian thoroughfare. Cruise ship-sized drinks go nicely with the Paramount's burgers-and-fries menu, and daily happy-hour specials keep the outdoor area packed. While the rock-and-roll-inspired refreshments are worthy, the street-side view of the heart of the city is what makes the Paramount a stopping place of paramount importance. Bull & Bush 4700 Cherry Creek Drive South 303-759-0333 Long before residential and retail development lined the banks of Cherry Creek, the Bull & Bush was here: a replica of an English brewpub right in the middle of Glendale. Today it's surrounded by plenty of commercial ventures, but it's easy to block out the action when you're on the patio. Much like the pub's interior space, the outdoor dining room remains cool and comfortably dim even in the mid-day sun, thanks to a big awning overhead. Seating includes intimate two-tops as well as big tables for groups interested in watching the game on one of the many outdoor televisions. Club Vinyl 1082 Broadway 303-860-8469 Club Vinyl's rooftop deck is an oasis in the heart of the city. Though the place can get rowdy -- this is the site of some of the summer's best dance parties, including Reggae on the Roof every Thursday -- there are plenty of quieter times during the week when you can hide out here, enjoying a comfortable chair, a cool beverage and superior views of the mountains and city skyline. Club Vinyl knows Denver weather well, too, so there are fires to keep you warm on cool nights, adding to the rooftop's unparalleled atmosphere. Tamayo 1400 Larimer Street 720-946-1433 Ten-year-old Tamayo got a million-dollar makeover earlier this year, and the rooftop patio wasn't ignored in the remodel: The space became even breezier and more inviting with a stylish change-up. While the dining area downstairs remains posh, there is a laid-back quality to Tamayo's outdoor space that makes this spot a gem. Traditional table seating mixes with lounge areas featuring leather and wicker chairs and comfortable couches. Don't leave Larimer Square without stopping here for a high-class cocktail and a spectacular view.

Have you ever felt as if you were born in the wrong era?
I have an inexplicable love of both '20s jazz and '70s disco music, and often joke that I was born in the wrong decade. But, I've never had the experience of feeling I was born "long before my time." Even though I've broken some conventions and chosen some of the less well-worn paths through life, there was always a seemingly fearless pioneer who walked before me. Perhaps that's why I enjoy reading stories about trailblazing women, to learn how it feels to break through expectations and be the first.
I recently finished Paula McLain's Circling the Sun, a fictional memoir of Beryl Markham, the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic from east to west, and the first person, male or female, to make the non-stop trip from England to North America. She earned that distinction in 1936, when aviation was still the sport of daredevils. Markham was certainly a woman born before her time, and yet her flying is only one aspect of her life that set her apart.
Abandoned by her mother at a young age, Markham was raised by her father among the local Kipsigis people, where she learned the skills, if not the status of moran, or warrior. She was a wild child by the standards of the day, refusing to be traditionally schooled or dress "like a girl." But her wild adventures came to an abrupt halt when her father's farm collapsed and he was forced to move away. With few options open to her, 16-year-old Beryl was shunted, reluctantly, onto a more traditional track for a young woman in the early 1920s: marriage.
Beryl, however, wasn't about to throw in the towel and devote herself to being a doting wife. She wanted to be her own person and pursue her passion for horses. It turned out that Beryl had a natural talent for training both feral and vulnerable horses. Despite the reluctance of her husband, at the age of 18 she became the first licensed female horse trainer in Africa, quickly earning renown when her horses won major events. Still, for many owners, her proven skill wasn't enough to overcome her handicap of being a woman. Although she constantly had to fight for her rightful place in the racing world, it never stopped her from doing what she loved.
She applied a similar rule to men, never allowing the tattlers to sway her passions. But colonial Africa was, at its heart, a small town, and even among the community of bohemians and oddballs, Beryl always seemed to stand out. Even when she was all but run out of Africa on a wave of gossip, she took responsibility for her missteps, and did whatever it took to stay afloat.
Like most us, Beryl made some questionable decisions in her life, sometimes out of rebelliousness, but often out of basic survival. What drew me to her story is that, no matter how lost she became, she always managed to find her way back to her true self. She never allowed the accepted norms of the day to hold her back, and so she left an indelible mark on the world.
For those of us who aren't built of pioneer stuff, those are good rules by which to live.
You can read a fictionalized version of Beryl Markham's story in Paula McLain's Circling the Sun or Beryl's own account in her memoir West with the Night. I'm also going to add Karen Blixen's related book, Out of Africa, to my reading list for more insight into that time and place. Let me know if you've read these books and what you thought.

Adopting a Military Working Dog (MWD)
This week marks the premiere of Sportsman Channel's latest TV series "Saving Private K9" hosted by R. Lee Ermey, aka The Gunny. (Thursday nights at 8:30 p.m. ET). The network is already receiving inquiries as to how and where civilians can adopt a Military Working Dog (MWD) and while there is MUCH information out there, I hope this can break it down a little easier.
There are several groups involved in the care of military and police K9s after they've been "retired." And thankfully, as of 2000, under the "Robby Law" any war dogs that are deemed safe for civilians can by adopted by law-enforcement agencies, military handlers and the public. This means that before "Robby Law," even the handlers who have spent so much time with their canines in war couldn't adopt them once they returned home. Unfortunately, there is still much ground to be had as MWDs and civilian contractor dogs are considered "equipment" in the military and well, have a shelf life.
The same year the "Robby Law" went into effect, several former handlers formed the U.S. War Dogs Association [www.uswardogs.org], with the goal of raising public awareness about the role of war dogs. And, in memory of the loyal, four-legged partners they were forced to leave behind in Vietnam, the group also raises funds to erect memorials, honoring their decades of service and sacrifice.
All MWDs are sent to the Lackland AFB after they return home to receive medical clearance – and some are even treated for the post-traumatic stress disorder that often afflicts both two- and four-legged soldiers living and working in war zones. Retired war dogs also go through a battery of tests to determine their level of aggressiveness and how suitable they are for life in the civilian world. Be warned that the adoption process via Lackland is a long and arduous process with wait times up to 12 to 18 months.
- The Pentagon oversees the military working dog program.
- Military working dogs have been serving alongside U.S. troops since World War I.
- Of the thousands of military working dogs that served in Vietnam, only about 200 returned to the United States.
- Roughly 3,000 war dogs are serving at locations around the world.
- It is a punishable offense in the military to mistreat a dog.
- Military working dogs are treated for post-traumatic stress disorder.
- More than 300 retired war dogs are put up for adoption every year.

Nothing says "natural protein source," like "renewable electricity."
Since it doesn't contain any of the things that makes wheat taste like wheat, I'm betting it doesn't really taste "just like wheat flour".
Besides, flour is carbohydrate, not protein.
Add in some hot sauce and I'd try it
Sounds like Stone soup.
On the plus side you might be able to charge your cell phone with the leftovers.
Is this the side dish for the self-lighting Sushi?
"renewable electricity"? Sounds like leftovers to me.
Solein Green?
Is it gluten free?
Teens in 1960s joked about "not running on sunlight" but this is ridiculous unless it's YUMMY and PRICED RIGHT!
Inspired by this lady, no doubt:
Sounds like my ex-wife's cooking. The main ingredient in all her dishes was "microwave." Truly, a woman to whom I would never say, "get back in the kitchen where you belong."
Does it come in a can that you can squirt into your mouth like whipped cream or Cheez-Whiz?
Asking for a friend.
*SMACKS* Skeeter
Food for robot ants?
So will we have to order a big plate of nothing?
Solein sounds like a close relative of Soylent....Green.
Bet it tastes like chicken.
Who says there's no such thing as a free lunch?

The United Nations Mission in Sudan (UNMIS) is sending an additional company of troops to the disputed Abyei region, reinforcing the four companies already there, following renewed clashes between forces linked to northern and southern Sudan.
The increased deployment of peacekeepers will allow for more frequent patrols throughout the region straddling northern and southern Sudan, providing a continuous rolling presence, as well as for foot patrols within Abyei town itself, the UN Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO) said today.
Abyei was due to have voted in a separate referendum on whether to join northern or southern Sudan in January, when the South opted for secession, but failure to establish a referendum commission and lack of agreement on who could vote prevented a ballot. The two sides have pledged to solve the issue by the end of March.
The Security Council was briefed today by Assistant Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Atul Khare on the latest clashes in which, according to media reports, at least 10 people were killed when militia attacked a police post, with a top government official saying the attackers were backed by the northern Sudanese government, while tribesmen involved in the attack said it was provoked by the southern government.
In a press statement, the Council voiced deep concern, condemned the use of violence and called on all parties to reduce tensions by implementing previous agreements and resolve the status issue.
The 15-member body also urged the parties to cooperate with UNMIS in resolving their differences.

Blogging Update
|October 6th, 2007
|Written by Gyutae Park
As you may know, I started this blog in order to house my online resume and to give some work-related updates on my 'oh-so-exciting' life. That's fine and dandy, but considering that nothing revolutionary has occurred to me in the recent past and that I already have issues sharing my personal life for everyone to see on the Internet, you can see why this blog hasn't been consistently updated in over a year.
That being said, I'm trying to turn things around and update more frequently with topics related to my work experiences, business, and Internet entrepreneurship with some personal stories and thoughts sprinkled in for extra flavor. Think of it sort of like a personal work and business journal.
Why am I doing this you ask? Well I basically do everything on the Internet – all of my work and all of my businesses rely on the Internet in order to function properly. In case you don't know I'm an SEO and run multiple websites as businesses. I'd like to create a name for myself in the industry for credibility and for networking opportunities. A blog is a perfect avenue to accomplish this.
Look forward to much more frequent posting about my work experiences and personal thoughts on a variety of topics that I'm interested in. Get into the head of an Internet Entrepreneur.Share This

bought a new one. we were considering a used one, and then decided to get the new one, because of the financing deal (1.2% over 4 years...a steal if you ask me on financing) anyways.. we got a pathfinder. it's a big mofo truck. I like it.
been a few hairy days of driving here.. the minivan is okay...and would actually be fine with snow tires probably. But where I work, I take a big highway out there...it's 4 lanes 1/2 way there...and then goes down to 2. Well for somereason, as soon as we get to the 2 lane hwy, it's like the roads clam up and all the road work/sanding/salting ends there. The rural road i need to take is only 2.5 km from the main hwy. unplowed, un salted. unsanded. a sheet of ice. Not that a pathfinder will save me, but I'm sure with the 4x4 mode, it will be a definate help in the crazier days.
always wanted a 4x4 anyways. most likely will handover the keys to the minivan in a few months anyways...the lease is almost up.

1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Rambert, Eugène
RAMBERT, EUGÈNE, (1830–1886), Swiss author, was born at Sâles near Swiss Clarens on the 6th of April 1830, the eldest son of a Vaudois schoolmaster, from whom he received his education. When in 1845 his father lost his post, owing to the religious disputes, Rambert became a teacher in Paris, and later a tutor in England and at Geneva. When the affairs of the family improved, Rambert was able to pursue his studies for the ministry, but he was more attracted by literature, and in 1845 became professor of French literature at the academy of Lausanne, and in 1860 at the Federal polytechnic school at Zürich, where he remained till 1881, when he again became professor at Lausanne. His principal work, Les Alpes suisses (5 vols., 1866–1875; republished with large additions, according to his own scheme, in 6 vols., 1887–1889), is a mine of miscellaneous information on the subject. He also published several volumes of poetry, as well as a volume entitled Écrivains nationaux (1874, republished 1889), and biographies of the pietist Vinet (1875), of the poet Juste Olivier (1879) and of the artist Alexandre Calame (1883). He died on the 21st of November 1886.
