Earlier this year the upper Arkansas River was designated Colorado's newest addition to the statewide list of Gold Medal Trout Waters. For many years prior to the designation anglers have enjoyed excellent fishing. But since the official designation anglers are asking "does this change how I fish here?"
No fishing regulations were changed when the river was designated Gold Medal. Designating waters as Gold Medal does not automatically place them under restrictive regulations, but anglers do need to be aware of previous regulations on some upper sections of the river.
The Gold Medal reach is 102 miles long and stretches from the confluence with the Lake Fork of the Arkansas River, near Leadville, downstream to Parkdale at the Highway 50 bridge crossing above the Royal Gorge.
"Regulations are often used as a tool to help maintain quality in a fishery but they are not automatically applied if they are not necessary, as is the case of the Arkansas River," said Greg Policky, aquatic biologist for Colorado Parks and Wildlife in Salida.
The upper Arkansas River was designated Gold Medal status because of improved water quality, flow management and fish abundance. In 2012, an angler survey ranked the Arkansas River as the favorite fishing destination for residents of Colorado; and even though thousands of anglers are casting into the water each year the fish population remains healthy.
"Our current regulations are sufficient to maintain the quality of the fishery," said Doug Kreiger, senior aquatic biologist for Colorado Parks and Wildlife. "In fact, a recent angler survey shows that more than 95 percent of trout caught on the river are released voluntarily."
Standard statewide regulations regarding bag and possession limits apply to most of the river. However, there are some special regulations for the very upper reaches in the Hayden Meadows area and for a seven-mile reach below Salida. Those special regulations were in place prior to the Gold Medal designation and have not changed since the designation.
"The upper Arkansas River fishery is the best it has been in years and we want anglers to get out there and enjoy it," Policky said. "Being designated Gold Medal is something we should and can all celebrate."
Frequently Asked Questions:
• Did the designation of the Arkansas River as Gold Medal Water change the fishing regulations?
No. The Gold Medal program is meant to recognize the "best of the best" that Colorado has to offer in terms of quality fishing, but it does NOT carry with it any requirement for enacting restrictive harvest regulations.
• Is the entire reach of Gold Medal on the Arkansas River catch and release only?
• Does this mean I can't use bait now?
No. There are a few special regulation stretches on the Arkansas that have been in effect for some time and those have not changed. The majority of the river is regulated under standard statewide fishing regulations, which allows fishing using bait. Please refer to the CPW Fishing Regulation Brochure ( http://bit.ly/1tpoPEw or cpw.state.co.us for specifics.

What do you think about the "new" Purevax Feline rabies vaccine?
I put new in parentheses, as it has been a round since 2002. I am just hearing about it.
My vet used to offer a 2 year feline rabies vaccine fo $22. NOW, we get the new Purevax ONE YEAR rabies vaccine, for $28.
It is "supposed" to have the ingredient which causes fibrosarcomas at the injection site removed from it. We don't have a choice of which vaccine we want.
Just wondering what anyone else thinks.

Location: Sze Conference Room, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center
Seattle Children's Research Institute
Joined the Uganda Program in 2006, began working on human herpesvirus 8/Kaposi sarcoma with Corey Casper and others
This talk will highlight the work ongoing in Uganda and Seattle to understand the factors that affect control of HHV-8 infection and progression to Kaposi sarcoma (KS). Rather than a traditional malignancy, KS can be best understood as a proliferation of HHV-8-infected cells with concomitant hypervascularity and inflammation that is driven by HHV-8 lytic gene products. Increased HHV-8 replication and risk of KS are clearly associated with immunodeficiency, though the specific responses that are important are unclear. Other risk factors that may be important include age at HHV-8 infection, and malaria and other co-infections. The implications of this work for strategies to prevent KS will be discussed.

My Thorough Review: Saint Edmund Campion Extraordinary Form Missal and Hymnal
By Ben Yanke on February 21, 2013
All photos courtesy Corpus Christi Watershed. As usual, all images can be enlarged by clicking.
For more information, or to order the missal, visit: www.ccwatershed.org/Campion
Simply put, the Saint Edmund Campion Missal and Hymnal from Corpus Christi Watershed is a brilliant new Sunday/Feast day hand-missal for the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite. It is skillfully edited, and without exaggeration, it is one of the most beautiful modern books I have seen or used. It is a full missal and hymnal, containing not only the Sunday propers and readings in both Latin and English, but also the complete Kyriale, six versions of the Credo, nearly 20 pages of congregational chants for use throughout the year, over 150 pages of orthodox, traditional congregational hymns, various prayers for private prayer before, during and after Mass, and for other sacraments and rites in the Extraordinary Form (such as marriage, confirmation, benediction and funerals). Most importantly, it starts at $23 for a single copy! Very affordable.
First Impressions
As I took it out of its shipping box, I was struck by the simple, subtly decorated, yet very dignified cover, with the slight star design in the background. With a striking image of the Agnus Dei, surrounded by ornamental borders, this cover is sure to draw your attention to the beauty of the liturgy before the Mass even begins or you open the missal. The binding and hard-cover is that of a hymnal, allowing this book to be used by both individuals and by parishes wishing to place it in the pew rack alongside or in place of their other hymnal.
The artwork scattered throughout the pages of the missal is just as beautiful. It is typeset in such a way that it does not feel at all cramped, but at the same time, much of the free space is used for art, in a very tasteful manner. All of the line art has been newly digitized, making it look crisp and clear rather than scanned or faded.
Size and Weight
At 6×9 inches, it is larger than many hand-missals, but that increase in size is accompanied by an increase in font size compared to many other missals, making it very readable, and also easy to fit in standard hymnal racks. It is a little bit above an average weight among hymnals, but it's still easy to handle, and not too heavy, considering all that's in it.
One interesting feature of this book is the dual ordinary sections, one for use at a Missa Solemnis or Missa Cantata (Solemn High Mass and High Mass, respectively), and one for a Missa Lecta (Low Mass). This eliminates the problems of those unfamiliar with the Extraordinary Form being confused about cues or rubrics referring to actions that only occur at a "low Mass" or actions that only occur at a "high Mass." The two sections are styled differently, including different drop-caps and background color, so that they are not easily confused with each other, should you lose your place in the book and try to return. While most of the book is printed in black and white, the ordinary sections are printed in color, and are very well typeset. The artwork and typesetting in the ordinary section rivals that of some ornate altar cards, filled with beautiful artwork and pictures from a traditional Mass, a testament to Mr. Ostrowski's fantastic work.
Another interesting feature of this missal is over 100 pictures of an actual Mass (two, in fact, one for each of the ordinary sections). There is at least one real picture on each page spread in the ordinary, which allows those new to the congregation to orient themselves, should they become lost in the ordinary section. It also allows the congregation to see some of the small gestures that happen in the sanctuary, such as the fraction rite over the chalice, the deacon kissing the chalice at the offertory, or the priest striking his breast during the Confiteor. I would be remiss not to mention the beautiful vestments and churches seen in these sample pictures. All of the vestments used are beautifully embroidered, and are very much in the style of the roman rite, exemplifying beauty. The same can be said about the churches in which these Masses were celebrated. Also included in the ordinary sections are many short yet illuminating descriptions or commentaries on the applicable part of the Mass, making clear what is happening both externally and internally.
The Missa Solemnis section also includes the music for the Vidi Aquam, Asperges, Preface Dialogue, and the final verse of the Pater Noster, all in their appropriate spot, facilitating easy congregational participation on these parts. They are engraved in neumes.
While I had hoped it would come with ribbons, it is designed in such a way that it is possible to easily use it with a single bookmark, switching the bookmark between the proper section and the ordinary section. However, for those individuals or parishes who would prefer ribbons, myself included, the book is bound in such a way that it would be quite easy to insert a set of missal ribbons purchased from another vendor (such as these ribbons). In either case, it seems to be a win-win: those who prefer not to use ribbons have a book that is specifically designed to be used without them, and those who do can easily add them on their own, with no negative effect.
The drop-caps in the proper section of the missal are also very dignified, but in the ordinary section, which is printed in color, they are exceedingly beautiful, as is the rest of the ordinary section.
I was pleased to see all of the eighteen Gregorian Masses included, as well as the six Credos, allowing the schola full freedom of choice among the Gregorian Masses that they might not otherwise have, should the congregation be using another resource, such as the first edition of the Parish Book of Chant (although this problem is remedied in the second edition of the PBC). These chants, along with the other chants in the book, were re-engraved in Gregorio, using a large, easily readable typeface, and are not small or smudged and faded scans.
Holy Week
The Holy Week section of this book is particularly well done. Not only does it include the full bi-lingual texts of the Palm Sunday and the Triduum according to the 1962 Missal, but it also includes many rubrics, allowing the people to easily participate, such as genuflecting to the paschal candle before the easter vigil. On top of that, it includes many of the chants and responses that may be sung by the congregation, such as the Pange Lingua and Tantum Ergo for the Evening Mass of the Lord's Supper, Ecce lignum and Venite for the Liturgy of the Passion and Death of our Lord, and the Solemn alleluia sung during the Mass of the Paschal Vigil. This book is truly a must have for the pews during the intricate liturgies of the Triduum.
There is a sizable number of hymns for all seasons, including Savior of the Nations Come, Creator of the Stars of Night, Adeste Fideles (both Latin and English), As with Gladness Men of Old, Come Holy Ghost, Holy God We Praise Thy Name, All Glory, Laud, and Honor, Immaculate Mary, Jesus Christ is Risen Today, as well as many other lesser known hymns, such as Ye Choirs of New Jerusalem, O Christ Who Mountest Up the Sky, When the Patriarch Was Returning, O Glorious Maid Exalted Far, and many others, including at eleven original hymn tunes by Kevin Allen, one of them paired to the poem by Blessed Cardinal Newman, Lead Kindly Light. All in all, there are over 150 solid, usable hymns that will serve any Extraordinary Form community well at either Low Masses with music or a High Mass with a limited hymns.
The numbering follows the same scheme as the Vatican II hymnal, namely, using page numbers in the hymn section, to ease the announcement of page numbers and the finding of hymns. While this is different than some publishers, it seems to me that it is the best way.
Following the hymn section, there is also a section of chants for the congregation, including Rorate Caeli, all of the Marian antiphons, Puer Natus, Jesu Dulcis Memoria, Adoremus in Aeternum, Attende Domine, Veni Creator, Adoro Te Devote, among others. There is also a section found at the back with several prayers for use before Holy Communion, before Mass, after Mass, etc.
This book contains many of the other small bits, such as the proper forms of the Communicantes for various feasts, and of course, the prefaces for various feasts. The inclusion of these items, in addition to the thoroughness of the ordinary section, opens up interesting possibilities. When I was discussing this missal with a seminarian I know, he asked me if it contained all of the private and proper prayers for the priest, for the purpose of even using it as an altar missal for a traveling priest. It appears that it does include the needed prayers, as well as many inline rubrics (such as mentions of kissing the altar, picking up the host, signs of the cross, or bowing the head), so that in the case of traveling, necessity, or even private Masses, it appears that this book could possibly be used in place of a copy of the Roman Missal (although it would be very wise to add ribbons in this case, as mentioned above). To that end, it lays flat fairly well, and I'm sure with some use, it will lay flat even more easily.
Wrap Up
All in all, this is a fantastic resource for both individuals attached to the Extraordinary Form, as well as for parishes that use the Extraordinary Form, but particularly those who only celebrate the Extraordinary Form. This is a extraordinary book that I'd highly recommend to anyone attending the Extraordinary Form looking for a beautiful, easy to use missal.
What's Unique About This Hymnal and Missal?
It's both a full Sunday Missal for the Extraordinary Form, as well as a full hymnal, containing all the music a congregation could need, including all eighteen Gregorian Masses, and many congregational chants. But more importantly, the book is very beautiful. The artwork and the typesetting give this book a very beautiful look and feel. Interestingly, it contains two sections for the ordinary (High Mass and Low Mass), easing congregational use.

Next year, he will be attending Franciscan University at Steubenville for communication arts and computer science. Ben's interests include liturgy, sacred music, cross country running, trumpet and french horn, as well as blogging, media production, and web design. He is currently in the process of writing propers for the ferial Masses of the year (Ferial English Propers), in the style of Simple English Propers, by Adam Bartlett. His blog also contains many of his resources, including Ferial English Propers. It also contains a listing of many resources for singing the propers of the Mass in the ordinary form of the Roman Rite, as well as a listing of resources for the Liturgy of the Hours.

Planned Parenthood to close 4 Wis clinics
By Ben Yanke on February 21, 2013
Who hoo!!!
MILWAUKEE – Planned Parenthood has announced the closure of four clinics in Wisconsin between April and July, 2013. The clinics that will be closing are in Shawano, Beaver Dam, Johnson Creek and Chippewa Falls.
"These closures are a direct consequence of the Legislature's elimination of funding benefiting patients at Planned Parenthood in the last budget cycle," said Stephanie Wilson with Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin. "Over the past year, Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin worked to minimize the impact of the Legislature's significant budget cuts on our patients. Despite efforts to sustain services to these patients for over a year without state funding, Planned Parenthood has been forced to end health care services in these four health centers."
According to Wilson, the closures will affect over 2,000 patients, and 11,400 services. The clinics offer low-income women with many healthcare needs.
"For 78 years, Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin has been providing high quality health care including lifesaving cancer screenings, well-woman exams, birth control, and testing and treatment of sexually transmitted infections to approximately 80,000 women and families in 27 health centers across Wisconsin," said Deb Bonilla, Vice President of Patient Services. "Continued patient care is our top priority. Health center staff are working with the affected patients to identify health care alternatives to minimize the impact of these closures."
Planned Parenthood plans to keep their 23 remaining Wisconsin clinics open and operating.

CHICAGO (AP) – In an unusual attempt at addressing one of its most vexing problems, the city of Chicago is asking residents with ideas on how to get illegal guns off the streets to share their thoughts – in 140 characters or fewer on Twitter.
The initiative is part of Chicago Ideas Week, an annual forum for innovators, artists, scientists and others to share ideas, make connections and inspire action. Those who think they know how to cut off the flow of illegal guns coming into Chicago are being asked to tweet suggestions with the hashtag (hash)whatifchicago. The best ideas will be debated at an Oct. 11 panel discussion during Ideas Week that will include police Superintendent Garry McCarthy.
The head of Chicago's Police Department and Mayor Rahm Emanuel have made combating gun violence in the nation's third largest city a top priority, and are fighting gangs with a strategy that includes deploying beat officers to trouble spots for longer periods. The city is also paying an anti-violence group called CeaseFire $1 million to mediate conflicts in neighborhoods beset by gangs.
Still, homicides, the vast majority of them involving guns, are up sharply from 2011. According to the most recent police statistics, 382 people have been killed as of the middle of September, an increase of 26 percent from last year. Many of the victims are teens.
The Twitter campaign was announced Thursday, during a week in which at least two 17-year-olds were killed by gunshots to the head. One of those accused of pulling the trigger is a 14-year-old boy, police said Saturday.
"This is an outstanding example of the potential power that social media offers city government," said City of Chicago Social Media Director Kevin Hauswirth.

KLRU announced a Smart Screen Time / La Pantalla Inteligente Initiative to connect Central Texas families and kids to PBS content, videos, games and apps and to use them to explore the world beyond the screen. "We know that as school ends more and more kids are going to be watching television, playing games on tablets and using their parents' phones to play apps," said Ben Kramer, VP Educational Services at KLRU," and we want to encourage families to be smart about their choices."
Smart Screen Time is about finding good content, using it in smart ways, and knowing when to turn off devices. KLRU has developed five guidelines for parents and caregivers to follow when watching a television show or playing online with their kids. They are:
- Knowing the difference between "smart time" and "silly time."
- When the brain slows down, turn the screen off.
- Talk throughout the day with your children.
- Watch and play on screens together.
- Read at home every day.
Get more details about each of these guidelines
To combat the summer learning loss KLRU will be offering 11 hours of uninterrupted non-commercial children's programs each weekday as well as launching klrukrids.org. www.klrukids.org connects learners of all ages 2 and up to a plethora of curriculum-based video, games and apps that teach math, literacy, and more. These resources in both English and Spanish, will allow kids to have Smart Screen Time while also having fun. All of the activities featured on klrukids.org embody the PBS Kids spirit that "anytime is learning time" and "learning can be fun."
For parents, klrukids.org also features a curated list of apps and bookmarks from PBS and elsewhere that the KLRU Educational Services staff recommends for learners of all ages 2 and above. These resources should be used as a starting point for learning and should be used to encourage families to come together and to explore the world around them.
Throughout the year more than 25,000 families and kids connect with KLRU face-to-face through our workshops and events. Many more do so by watching the award-winning children's shows on KLRU or visiting a PBS Kids web site. In all of our work on-air, online, mobile or face-to-face, KLRU encourages Smart Screen Time. As learners of all ages, but particularly the youngest, increasingly turn to smart devices as a primary source of information and entertainment, KLRU wants to share the power of digital learning as well as our cautions for excessive or unwise use.
KLRU Educational Services engages with the Central Texas public in a remarkable number of ways on-air, online and in the community. KLRU and PBS KIDS are committed to making a positive impact on the lives of children through curriculum-based media, using new and traditional platforms to support children in their acquisition of knowledge and critical thinking skills while empowering their imagination and curiosity of the world.

17th June – Where has the Summer gone?
Where has the summer gone?
(Friday 17th June) Last weekend the skippers were looking at the sky, consulting their rule books and calculating run rates. This week doesn't look any better. In the 1sts we ended up with a winning draw against Ashford. Battling to 194 for 6 with a return to form for Richard Farrow before he dislocated his finger whilst in the field. We all wish Richard a speedy recovery. Matching 49s from Tom Savill and Majeed as well. We bowled 32 overs and they were 121 for 4 and short of the required rate.
The 2s came away with an abandoned match Away at Sunbury. Really struggling to get to 160 all out with a battling 40 from Olly Steward and a 54 partnership with the consistent lower order Jamie Pettigrew. No wickets in 16 overs so we were probably glad the game was called off. The 3s had a real arm wrestle against Sunbury and came away with a winning draw. We were put in and Raj Tulsiani (58) continued his good form as we made 145. Sunbury were 87 for 8 when the game finished with good spells from Callaghan, Campbell, Gatenby and Jones. The 4s also picked up a winning draw at Sunbury. A similar total of 165 for 9 with Matt Ball top scoring with 52. We managed to get them 5 down in 16 overs but were thwarted by the elements.
The 5s got a good thrashing. Burgess Park made 258 in their 46 overs and we struggled to 99 for 8. Only highlight (you wouldn't expect many with those scores) was 3 wickets on return for Rehan Malik. The 6s did manage to get the only win of the day against Old Colfs. We were put in and made 164 for 7 in 40 overs with the first ever 50 at Dulwich for Richard Beeching (reports he was after Faz's spot in the 1s were over played – mainly by Beechy!). We then kept them to 138 for 9 in their 40 overs. 4 for Simon Peters and 3 for Joe Hale.
The 7s game was cancelled as the stars were utilised in higher teams and both Sunday matches were rained off!
Colts summary
The Under 8s beat Sutton quite easily making 309 (starting at 200 and we only lost 6 wickets) against Sutton's 246 to win by 63 runs. A fine team performance led by Man of Match and wicket keeper Ben Mirchandani. The under 9s lost to Sutton by 37 runs a major factor being giving away 51 extras in an otherwise good bowling performance Max Swanson the only bowler not to give away any no balls or wides. We also lost 12 wickets to Suttons 5 – Devan Wasan and Noah Baker being undefeated. The under 11s lost to Reigate Priory on a damp and dismal day – we made a low score of 75 for 7 against strong Reigate bowling and fielding and despite battling hard we lost with 5 overs to spare. The under 15s beat Trinity Mid Whitgiftians.

Green Goddess is an earthy, herb-packed dressing with a tangy bite to it. The dressing is a delight drizzled over salads, chicken, fish or as a dip for crudites.
For this lighter version I swapped out the usual, fatty base of mayonnaise for light sour cream (Greek yogurt works too). The sour cream is combined with buttermilk, lemon juice, vinegar, dijon, scallions, anchovies, garlic and a trio of fresh herbs like parsley, tarragon and thyme.
With this powerhouse of flavors, the mayonnaise doesn't stand a chance of being missed! The dressing doesn't miss a beat, remaining rich and creamy.
Green Goddess dressing is the perfect vehicle for putting those herbs still springing forth from your garden to good use, before frost strips them of any and all usefulness.
Feel free throw in whatever herbs you have on hand including mint, cilantro, basil and/or chives in whatever combination your little heart can dream up.
Allowing the flavors to mingle overnight will produce the most delicious results.

Chipzilla just won't quit: Intel touts 64-bit Atoms for Android phones, tabs
No easy ride for Apple, ARM et al – and there's an 300Mbps LTE chip in the works
Posted in Personal Tech, 24th February 2014 21:01 GMT
MWC 2014 Intel has launched one new 64-bit, Android-capable Atom processor platform – "Merrifield" – taken the wraps off a future one – "Moorefield" – and introduced a new LTE modem in its latest bid to crack the mobile market as well as position itself for the buzzword du jour, the Internet of Things.
"Today we are announcing leading communications products as well as new computing platforms," Intel president Renee James said in a statement detailing the announcements. "As a result, Intel is well-positioned to shape the future of mobile computing and the Internet of Things."
Forgive us for noting that we've heard this before, when Intel trumpeted Menlow, then Moorestown, then Medfield. However, with Merrifield – now dubbed the Atom Z34XX series [PDF] – Chipzilla just might have produced a platform that has a fighting chance of upsetting the mobile market applecart.
When we discussed Merrifield with Intel spokesman Bill Calder last June, we mentioned to him that Intel had also made glowing promises about the performance-per-watt stats of those three platforms. "I know. I know," he told us at the time. "And I'm with you, too, because I went through that same thing from an internal perspective, and I was frustrated."
But that didn't stop Calder from being bullish about the power miserliness of the new Atom Z34XX, née Merrifield, announced this Monday. "I'll tell you that about Merrifield again, too," he said last June, "because I do drink the Kool-Aid around here – hell, I help mix it and stir it, too, right?"
So here's Intel's latest refreshment: based on the new 64-bit Silvermont architecture and baked in Intel's 22nm Tri-Gate process, the Atom Z34XX series – and specifically the dual-core, dual out-of-order thread 2.13GHz Z3480 announced on Monday – promises "best-in-class battery life" based on a BatteryXPRT 2014 benchmark comparison against Qualcomm's Snapdragon 800.
TechRadar reports that Intel also claims a 19-hour battery life for the Merrifield platform, putting it ahead of both the Samsung's Galaxy S4 LTE-A with a Snapdragon 800 and Apple's iPhone 5S with its own A7 processor, despite having a lower-capacity battery.
Both compute and graphics performance are improved over previous Atom processors, Intel says, with a single-threaded compute bump-up of about 1.7 and a graphics (Imagination PowerVR Series 6) improvement of 2X, both in comparison with the Atom Z2580 introduced in the second quarter of last year.
In her announcement of the new platform, James also emphasized its 64-bit readiness. "Intel knows 64-bit computing," she said, "and we're the only company currently shipping 64-bit processors supporting multiple operating systems today, and capable of supporting 64-bit Android when it is available."
In addition to Merrifield, Intel also announced its follow-on, Moorefield, which should appear near the end of this year. Moorefield will double the Silvermont-architecture core and thread counts to four, run them at clock speeds of up to 2.3GHz, add graphics improvements, and support faster memory.
Of more – Moore? – interest is the fact that Moorefield will be optimized for another part that James announced on Monday: the Intel XMM 7260 LTE-Advanced modem, the successor the XMM 7160 multimode LTE modem that became commercially available last October, optimized for the Merrifield platform.
The XMM 7260, Intel says, can hit LTE-Advanced Category 6 data rates of simultaneous 300Mbps down and 50Mbps up with carrier aggregation technology – and it's the first Intel LTE platform to support that tech.
The XMM 7160, Intel says, has been certified to run on 70 per cent of worldwide LTE networks, and that "customers currently shipping or planning to launch" devices using Intel LTE chips include Acer, ASUS, Dell, Lenovo, Samsung, and others. The XMM 7260 is currently undergoing such certification.
Penetration into an LTE market that's dominated by Qualcomm is certainly important to Intel – and to smartphone manufacturers and end users as well, seeing as how competition between two deep-pocket players such as Qualcomm and Intel could result in a bit of a war over price, features, and performance.
It's going to be an interesting year, both on the processor and LTE-modem fronts. As Intel's Calder confidently predicted last June, "The myth that Intel will never be able to get power down low enough to get into phones is gone. That debate is over."
Within the next 12 months we should find out if the market agrees with him. ®

Hailed once again as a "beacon of hope," the Statue of Liberty welcomed back huddled masses of tourists Tuesday for the first time since it was shut down after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Interior Secretary Gale Norton was on hand to officially open the doors, and a military choir sang George M. Cohan's "It's a Grand Old Flag" before the crowd rose for the national anthem.
"This beacon of hope and liberty is once again open to the public, sending a reassuring message to the world that freedom is alive in New York and shining brighter than ever before," Gov. George Pataki said.
Plans to reopen Lady Liberty's pedestal to the public went ahead despite new warnings over the weekend of possible terrorist attacks on financial centers in nearby Manhattan, Newark, N.J., and Washington, D.C.
"I think it shows the world that liberty cannot be intimidated," Assistant Interior Secretary Craig Manson said during a media preview tour Monday. "I think it's significant that despite the raising of the alert levels, we are still going ahead with the reopening."
Visitors can tour a reopened museum inside the pedestal and enjoy a panoramic view from the observation deck at the pedestal top, about 16 stories above ground. The rest of the statue continues to be off-limits because it cannot accommodate large numbers of tourists and does not meet safety codes.
"Whether this is your first visit or one of many, I know this will be a memorable one," site superintendent Cynthia Garrett told the crowd.
Tightened security measures at the 118-year-old national monument include a new anti-bomb detection device that blows a blast of air into clothing and then checks for particles of explosive residue. Bomb-sniffing dogs also were present during the preview.
Liberty Island, the statue's 12-acre home, was closed for 100 days after Sept. 11, 2001. The second of two terrorist-hijacked jetliners had skimmed low over the statue just seconds before it crashed into the World Trade Center's south tower 1 1/2 miles away. Airport-type metal detectors were installed to screen visitors boarding the ferry from lower Manhattan, and the island was reopened in December 2001.
While the pedestal now is open, too, Larry Parkinson, deputy assistant Interior secretary for law enforcement and security, said it was unlikely that visitors will have access to the statue's interior spiral staircases in the foreseeable future.
The pedestal museum tells the story of the statue, from its dedication in 1886 as a gift from France to its rededication after a major overhaul a century later. An alternative tour allows visitors to stroll the promenade atop the star-shaped former fort on which the statue and its pedestal rise.
The tours cost $10 a head for adults and $4 for children. Slots in the tour must be reserved in advance, a move aimed at alleviating the congestion that in recent years forced some visitors to spend eight hours waiting in lines to get to and from the islands by boat.
Kevin Mason, president of the Circle Line, whose ferries serve the Statue of Liberty, said he hoped the reopening would help bring back tourists whose numbers fell 45 percent after the 2001 terrorist attacks — from 4.5 million a year in 2000 to 2.6 million in 2002.

This is the world of the displaced in North Kivu, a mesmerising sweep of volcanoes of lakes in eastern Congo, but also the home to human suffering on a catastrophic scale as violence continues to force thousands from their homes.
Fear and Desperation in North Kivu
By Marcus Prior
A city of banana-leaf shelters cascaded down the hill to a stream, peppered with people and humming with activity.
The stream ran brown with mud and who knows what else. Kneeling, a young woman coaxed some of the filthy water into a plastic container. A few yards away, another woman washed herself. Just a little further on, human faeces floated and boiled in the afternoon sun.
There are no tarpaulin sheets to shelter from the rain here, no blankets to stave off the bone-chilling night, nothing but the hard-baked earth for a bed. And in every knowing pair of eyes is the haunting of fear.
This is the world of the displaced in North Kivu, a mesmerising sweep of volcanoes of lakes in eastern Congo, but also the home to human suffering on a catastrophic scale as violence continues to force thousands from their homes. The 'camp' is at Bambo, high in the green hills above Virunga National Park, where gorillas still live in the mist.
On the hill opposite, a battalion of Senegalese soldiers in UN-blue baseball caps stand watch. They regularly have to warn armed men away from the camp. Their protection is the reason at least 8,000 people have fled to Bambo.
Since the start of the year, and despite a peace agreement agreed in January, clashes involving several militias as well as the Congolese army have prompted more than 100,000 people to run from their homes in fear, bringing the total number displaced in North Kivu since March 2007 to over half a million. New camps have sprung up almost overnight - in total, there are now 850,000 displaced people in the province, out of roughly a million across eastern Congo.
It is a disaster of epic scale, and yet its victims suffer almost unnoticed. Despite enormous logistical challenges and physical risk to personnel, WFP and its NGO partners are getting food to these new camps. If they have nothing else, at least they have something to eat. But the needs are enormous, and the situation has been exacerbated by a shortage of food which has prompted WFP to cut supplies in some areas in order to provide full rations to those that need them the most.
At a food distribution perched on a hilltop outside the town of Nyanzale, we met of Uwizeye Sukugabanye, a mother of two young children, the younger of which was clearly very ill. She also cared for two others, children of relatives now orphaned by the war. They all shared a tiny ramshackle shelter, which also served as a kitchen. They had arrived in Nyanzale only two weeks previously.
"When the soldiers attacked we ran – there was firing everywhere. People were hit and killed, others were seriously injured. Houses were being burned," she told us. "I walked for two days to reach here.
As more and more people run for their lives, some for the second or even third time, health and nutrition conditions are deteriorating. Malnutrition rates are almost universally alarming in eastern DRC, well above emergency levels in most areas. It is one of the worst places in the world to be a child.
It does not even require violence and displacement for children to suffer terribly. In a nutrition centre in Goma, the provincial capital, we met three and half-year-old Bayanga, her arm broken in a sling, and the rest of her tiny body heaving with slow, painful, severely malnourished breaths. In her home village near Walikale things are peaceful, but there are no real health facilities.
Like Uwezeye in Nyanzale, her mother Janet had walked for two days, and then spent what little she had on a bus ride into town. Relatives are helping her maintain her vigil with Bayanga, but rising food prices in town are making even that a stretch.
"I don't know what my child is suffering from, but she is unable to walk," she said. "I tried to get her to crawl in the hope that she could stand and walk again but there was no improvement. A few days ago he fell sick and that is when I decided that the only option left was to bring her to Goma."
The downward spiral in eastern Congo was not expected. Elections in 2007 were supposed to be part of a healing process, but the wounds remain open and infected. The new needs caused by the ongoing conflict mean that WFP now requires an additional US$147 million for its operation until the end of 2009, bringing total needs for the next twelve months to US$120 million dollars.

Hi everyone
I'm Lindsay and I run a rescue in Cedar Falls, Iowa. I've been rescuing or participating in rescue in one way or another since I was 13. I'm 25 now. I've had my own small home based rescue for about 2 yrs. I have our home and 3 foster homes I utilize. Like I said it's a small rescue..LOL.
I do all animal rescue, at first it was dog and cat until someone left a hedgehog on my front step, I'd rather confront a human aggressive dog than another one of those scary hissing things..LOL. I did take good care of the fella till hedgehog rescue came to take him off my hands LOL.
As of right now we have 2 dogs that are our own personal pets. Chance a 2 yr old pitt mix(not sure what he's mixed with, pitt body, shepard markings and has a black and blue tongue..LOL), started out as a rescue but was not able to be rehomed (food agression and toy aggression) so he became ours, and Sadie an 18 month old border collie/basenji cross, also a rescue but the kids and hubby fell in love so she stayed as well. We also have 4 cats. 18 yr old Kooi who has was rescued by me when I was was walking home from school and found boys hitting her with a stick she gave birth to 6 kittens the next day which luckily survived. THen there is Sancho, my cat that thinks he's a dog or a human. He drinks out of a baby bottle, sucks on pacifiers and plays fetch..LOL. There is Smokey our Russian blue rescue who only likes us, and Skeet our bengal cross.
In rescue at our home and in the foster homes we've got some Bengal kittys and a not even close to being sane rat terrier..LOL. Also a persian who is allergic to dogs and just about everything else..LOL.
I am a stay at home mom to 4 children 5 and under my 3 oldest although young are wonderful with even the the most shy of animals.
I have had to slow down my rescuing a bit as I've been attacked by cervical cancer twice in 3 yrs.
My reason's for joining are that I'd like to add a female rescue pitt bull or mix to our family at some point in the future. Our male pitt mix is not a dominant dog (to other dogs) and only ever had a problem with one dog and the other dog went for him first. It was a 240 lb male Saint and he was new to our rescue, we'd only had him for 48 hrs, hubby had been out of town, so I hadn't had the chance to get him into the vet to get neutered yet (usually try to get that done within 24 hrs) anyway hubby having been gone, let chance into the Iso area without proper introductions and Prince freeked, chance freeked and although no injuries, it was a scary few minutes. That is the one and only incident we've ever had.
I came here in hopes of learning if it's possible to add one last doggie to our family, and if so, how the best way to accomplish this is.
Thanks for letting me ramble..LOL

The Los Angeles Lakers were the most disappointing, disastrous team in the NBA last season.
That is not opinion, that is fact. (It's opinion, but name another more disappointing team.)
They were old, horrendous on defense, poorly coached, fought internally and barely made the postseason. If not for a massive offensive from Kobe Bryant, the Lakers would have been lottery-bound.
So, how did the Lakers solve these problems in the offseason?
First, nothing you can do about age. Steve Nash isn't getting any younger. Ponce de Leon won't come calling for Pau Gasol. Age is a legitimate problem for L.A.
Defensively, the Lakers ranked 22nd last season in points allowed per game. In the summer swelter, Los Angeles lost both Dwight Howard and Metta World Peace. That pair accounted for four NBA Defensive Player of the Year awards and one is now in Houston and the other will toil at Madison Square Garden regularly.
Taking away the two best defensive players, especially Howard, is a blueprint for further failure. World Peace may have lost a step, but on the Lakers, he was still lockdown. Howard patrolled the lane and protected the rim. He got plenty of opportunities to defend the rim with Nash, who is a dismal man-to- man defender, handling the point guards. Even Bryant, always considered an elite defender, lost some zip on the fastball defensively.
The Lakers replaced those two with Chris Kaman, who has the lateral movement of an elephant with bunions, and Nick Young, who has consistently displayed an indifference toward defense that resembles asking a scared woman to kill a spider.
Now that the Lakers should take a step backwards defensively - their true weakness - maybe head coach Mike D'Antoni can lean on his remaining and new guys to tighten up on the defensive end.
If Young's indifference to defense is well-documented, D'Antoni preaches his indifference in a neon plane hovering over the Super Bowl. His Phoenix Suns teams couldn't have stopped the Washington Generals.
Plus, D'Antoni is still D'Antoni. He will never be confused for Red Auerbach, or Phil Jackson, the rightful occupant of the big chair in L.A. His offense first style has won nothing and last season, he refused to put his personnel, as mismatched as they were, in the best spots to win games.
Then, there's that pesky torn Achilles' tendon Bryant suffered late last season. Recovery time was expected to be 12 months. Mamba thinks he'll do it in around six. He just turned 35 and history has shown that older professional athletes, especially ones who have 17 years of tread, respond much quicker than anyone else.
The Lakers' starting five next year, when healthy and total, should be Bryant, Nash, Gasol with most likely combination of Kaman, Young, Jodie Meeks, or Wesley Johnson.
So why am I not unilaterally dismissing the Lakers?
First, the expectation level is maybe, maybe the sixth seed in the Western Conference. The Lakers are not a championship contending team.
But many people have discounted the Lakers from the playoff mix. Howard is still the NBA's best center, but the only thing worse for Los Angeles than his tenure is the smog.
Howard ripped the Lakers apart on almost every level. On the floor, Gasol couldn't figure out how to play with him. Bryant fell all over himself trying to make Howard a huge part of the offense and D'Antoni had no clue how to integrate all of them. Howard had good numbers, but little impact.
Off the floor, Howard and Bryant never got along, no matter what they might say publicly. Howard wanted to be the man and Bryant wanted him to be the man ... in a few years.
It was a toxic mix.
With Howard gone, Bryant can reclaim the role of alpha dog without worrying about the future, or making people feel good. That Bryant is scary. Don't be confused, Bryant's 2012-13 campaign was awesome, but the old Bryant, who puts teams on his back without trying to be a facilitator, is still dangerous.
Can he be that Bryant? Probably, but later in the season. He still averaged 25.5 ppg before he got hurt.
Also, Bryant's in a contract year. Generations of the Bryant family will be fine financially, but Bryant won't want to go out as part of the group that destroyed the Lakers.
You should have enough faith in a motivated Bryant.
Gasol will be better than he was last season. He has to be. With the Spaniard being the only big-man offensive weapon, Gasol could actually thrive without Howard around to clog the lane. He's a capable passer, which made him excel in Jackson's triangle, and a solid shooter. Gasol will have a bounceback season.
You should have faith in a rejuvenated Gasol.
Nash looked bad last season. At 39, and with a bad back, Nash can't be relied on for his former MVP ways. But two seasons ago, he averaged almost 15.0 ppg. Plus, with Bryant and Gasol, Derek Fisher thrived as the point guard and he was never confused for one of the One Direction kids.
You can have a moderate amount of faith in an improved, albeit healthy, Nash. (Plus, Steve Blake is a more than capable backup.)
D'Antoni is a lot of things as a head coach, but he's also a brilliant offensive mind. The Lakers should be able to score the basketball freely. When he replaced Mike Brown, D'Antoni changed not only the structure of the Lakers offense, but the philosophy. Give him a full camp and a full season and the Lakers should be able to put up 100 ppg.
Have faith in D'Antoni at your own peril, but realize his team will score.
Kaman, Young, Blake and Johnson are not good on the defensive end, but all are above-average offensive players. That's what the Lakers will be this season - an offensive team.
An old offensive team, and yes, the Lakers are older than fire, runs a high risk for injury. There's nothing you can do about that. This is the Lakers team.
But between Bryant, as long as he comes back within a month, a full camp under D'Antoni and the ouster of Howard, the Lakers could be just fine. (I think Howard's leaving is HUGE for this team.)
They won't contend. Those days are gone unless the brass convinces LeBron James to be the next in the linage of Lakers superstars.
But, they aren't to be counted out quite yet.
- No shots at Lamar Odom. He needs help and apparently is getting it.
- I wish I had the opportunities Michael Beasley had in his life that he can afford to squander them. I can not imagine another team takes a chance on him after the Phoenix Suns released him conduct reasons.
- As much as I love basketball, I can't get into the EuroBasket tournament. Sorry.
- Movie Moment - As a Batman devotee, I urge caution before flying off the handle about Ben Affleck playing him next. First, Affleck has turned into a solid movie maker and wouldn't get involved in junk anymore. Secondly, we can't get it changed so live with it.
- TV Moment - I don't invest in shows in their first season. Risk is too high they won't find an audience, then I watch, then I get disappointed when it gets canceled. I will, however, on the drama side, give "The Blacklist" (with James Spader doing what he does best - be creepy), "Hostages" (I like shows with masks) a shot and comedy-wise, HBO's "Hello Ladies" (Stephen Merchant - funny collaborator with Ricky Gervais) a chance.

Euro space truck consigned to flaming death
Johannes Kepler burns up over Pacific
Posted in Science, 22nd June 2011 09:17 GMT
The European Space Agency yesterday sent its space truck Johannes Kepler to a fiery death over the South Pacific in a perfectly-executed "destructive re-entry" at the end of the spacecraft's four-month mission to the International Space Station.
ESA's second Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV-2) plunged into Earth's atmosphere after two thruster burns designed to bring any remaining debris down in an uninhabited stretch of ocean. ESA explains: "Just before hitting the atmosphere, Johannes Kepler was commanded to begin tumbling to ensure it would disintegrate and burn up safely."
As predicted, a few pieces did survive the intense heat to hit the water at around 21:00 GMT last night. The substantial Russian docking adaptor and main engines came down in an area roughly 6000km west of Chile.
As well as 1,200kg of ISS waste and redundant hardware, the Johannes Kepler was carrying a prototype "black box" which recorded the spacecraft's last moments, grabbing data on "acceleration, roll, pitch and yaw rates, temperatures and GPS coordinates". Once free of the disintegrating ATV, it continued a solo descent, protected by its own heatshield, before making a last call to send the data via the Iridium satphone system.
ESA hopes this info "will help to predict what happens to space hardware as it re-enters and comes apart under aerodynamic heating and loads".
The 20-tonne Johannes Kepler blasted off from Kourou spaceport in French Guiana on 17 February, carrying 4,534kg of propellant for ISS reboost and attitude control, 1,600kg of dry cargo, 850kg of propellant for the Zvezda module and 100kg of oxygen.
Alberto Novelli, head of ESA's ATV Mission Operations, said of the successful mission: "We broke many records with ATV-2. Not only was this the heaviest payload ever launched by ESA and the Ariane 5 rocket, but the ATV's engines also achieved the biggest boost for human spaceflight since the Apollo missions to the Moon: we raised the Space Station's orbit by more than 40 kilometres."
Nico Dettmann, head of the ATV Programme, chipped in with: "ATV has shown again its capabilities in servicing the Station and we are looking forward to the next, Edoardo Amaldi, which will be shipped to Kourou in August for launch in early 2012." ®

Lock dump ban
If you are true Jet fan this game is your worst nightmare..you have proved absolutely nothing beating just an horrendous team...you are going to stick with this pathetic QB and haven't evaluated McElroy...nice job Rex....go puff your chest out about your defense at your post game press conference....you have set the organization back 2-3 years....wonderful.....
Lock dump ban
Por favor, mueve este pedazo de mierda al dumpo.
Rex and Tanny will sell Woody on the injuries as to why this team didn't contend this year.
And we'll be subjected to once again witness another year of Sanchez behind center orchestrating a Sparano lead offense with Rex's goofy ass talking "Superbowl".
I'm not one to defend people who start useless threads with an thought that can just be posted into the game day thread but he's right. This game is another disaster that once again proves how awful mark is. It's pathetic to know that the tub of lard is going to get up and probably spew his usual nonsense about how he thought mark threw the ball well today and he definitely gives us the best chance to win. Sanchez did absolutely nothing today other than fumble once and off. Even Tebow could have won today with the run game playing like this.
oh stop with this both ends against the middle crap.
We're on pace to a forgettable, but respectable, 8-8 season. Not a winner, but not a loser either. The Jets have been far from the dregs of the NFL for years now, consistently good or at worst average. Thats better, in most ways, than going 4-12 would have been.
If you're upset about draft picks or Rex coming back, don't bother. Picks are a crapshoot (remember where we got Revis, and where we got Ghost, for example) and Rex was coming back (with Sanchez) for at least 2013 regardless. A loss today wasn't changing that.
It's a pretty rough day when one feels the need to root against their own team. I've never quite understood it. What the root-against fan usually wants isn't realistic or happening anyway most times, or is at-bets a desire to trade average for unknown, and unknown is often, wait for it, average or worse too.
When you consider how you choose to feel about today, try to understand: Rex wasn't going to be fired, and neither was Sanchez. So why be mad?
You might as well try and enjoy the last 3 weeks of the season and worry about next year, next year. The franchise is not set back any further than it was before.
McElroy is nothing, he's not going to be a franchise QB.
I love when people say "set back the franchise for yours." In the NFL, everything changes every year.
Every win is a loss at this point for the betterment of this franchise.

The Most Ravishing Spot in the World
Honfleur is a lively town and a bustling port, where fishermen can be seen hauling in the daily catch. The maritime influence is everywhere evident; even the handsome church of Sainte Catherine has an oak ceiling that resembles the hull of an overturned ship.
The charming square surrounding the church gives way to narrow cobbled lanes of half-timbered houses, elegant manors, and tall, narrow town houses.
The quality of light has long attracted artists, including a particularly illustrious group, among them Monet, Corot, Turner, Courbet, Millet, Seurat – all of whom stayed at a little thatched inn called the Saint Siméon, now Honfleur's most luxurious hotel.

An Ethnography of a Juried Ceramic Art Exhibition in JapanMoeran, Brian (Frederiksberg, 2012)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: This article discusses the social processes among members of a panel of jurors required to award a major prize to one of the submissions to a national ceramics exhibition in Japan. Uniquely based on participant observation-style fieldwork, the article details the voting procedures and (inconclusive) results, before analysing why one particular potter's submission was selected for the Princess Chichibu Cup. It shows how social relations, rather than aesthetic taste, influenced the final choice, since jury members operated according to an informal pecking order that depended on pre-existing networks and reputations, themselves determined by seniority and age. The fact that judges did not overtly resort to aesthetic criteria when making their evaluations meant that they considered each submission in relation to other submissions, rather than on their own particular merits. They thus ended up comparing 'incommensurate flaws', rather than making a selection according to agreed 'merit'. And yet 'meritocratic principles' seem to prevail in the longer term cumulative recognition of potters who are awarded prizes at such exhibitions. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8510

A Case Study of the Laundry Detergent Market in JapanFujiwara, Masatoshi (Frederiksberg, 2011)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: This paper aims to describe how a commercially successful innovation occurs with the altering of the existing competitive structure in a market under environmental and competitive pressures. I study the history of the laundry detergent market in Japan and elucidate the manner in which Kao accomplished an innovation and increased their market share during the late 1980s. Kao introduced their new detergent Attack through a biotechnological innovation and dramatically changed the competitive structure to their advantage. The innovations introduced were of two kinds 1) fermentation engineering technologies to improve the cleaning performance of detergents by using alkaline cellulase, and 2) concentration of detergents to four times their earlier strength through changes in their powder processing technologies. This historical innovation that occurred in the laundry detergent market in Japan has a contemporary implication because combining firms' activities and environmental sustainability has been one of the most crucial topics over recent years.

Diablo Technologies
CEO: Riccardo Badalone
Diablo Technologies, Ottawa, Ontario, in July came to market with its first product, Memory Channel Storage, which it said bypasses traditional storage infrastructures and leverages a server's existing standard DIMM form factor and DDR-3 CPU interface to access tens of TBs of flash capacity.
Memory Channel Storage is available as a drop-in replacement for standard RDIMMs, which Diablo Technologies said provide persistent latencies similar to that of DRAM as well as the ability to scale linearly by adding additional modules. The result, according to Diablo Technologies, is block storage capacity with latencies reduced by over 85 percent compared to PCIe and by about 96 percent compared to SSDs.
The company is targeting such markets as database, cloud, big data, high-frequency trading, server and storage virtualization, and VDI.

KITTANNING — A woman with a criminal history of scamming people into showering her with attention and money by pretending to be pregnant or telling other sob stories is on the lam again, this time accused of staying at a battered women's shelter in western Pennsylvania under false pretenses.
Amy Slanina, 33, was charged with theft of services after staying at the Helping All Victims in Need Shelter in Kittanning Dec. 4-30 of last year and claiming to be married to a Pittsburgh police officer who abused her.
Slanina was supposed to stand trial or plead guilty in September, but, as she has other times when she's perpetrated other scams in several states in the past, she's disappeared.
A court summons for that appearance, mailed to the Ohio Reformatory for Women, was returned to sender with the word "Released" written in bold, black felt-tip marker. How and why western Pennsylvania authorities lost track of Slanina isn't clear, and the man most responsible for tracking her down, Armstrong County District Attorney Scott Andreassi, hasn't talked.
He did not respond to repeated telephone messages, nor a request for comment made at his office Thursday in this rural county seat some 35 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.
HAVIN's executive director, Jo Ellen Bowman, said she's concerned that law enforcement officials don't take scammers like Slanina seriously enough because their crimes seem relatively minor. Slanina's free stay cost the shelter $1,250 and is considered a misdemeanor theft in Pennsylvania because it involved less than $2,000.
"But what may be insignificant to some may be a significant amount to others," Bowman said, noting her shelter's state funding increased by $2,000 for the first time in nine years. But there's more than just money at stake.
"You can't put a dollar amount on the emotional impact that woman inflicted and the pain she inflicted," Bowman said.
While staying at HAVIN, Slanina struck up an online friendship with an Idaho couple whom she convinced to fly to Pennsylvania so they could adopt the baby she claimed to be carrying. Kittanning police initially charged Slanina in that case too, only to withdraw the charges because no money changed hands, so her tall tale wasn't a crime under Pennsylvania law.
Try telling that to the Idaho couple, Barry and Rebecca Vest, who wonder what makes Slanina tick. "Are you that miserable that you have to make other people miserable?" Rebecca Vest said this year.
Or ask Jen Asbury, a Morgantown, W.Va., woman Slanina befriended and lived with last year. Slanina had convinced Asbury, a former Army reservist, that she was pregnant and wanted to marry Asbury and raise the child.
Police and Slanina's targets say she gets away with the pregnancy claims because of her convincing line and her 5-foot-4, 175-pound build. The last time Asbury saw her in November 2011, Slanina said she was leaving to visit her newborn in a neonatal intensive care unit where, Slanina claimed, she had given birth prematurely during a trip to Pittsburgh weeks before.
A few weeks later, Slanina was busted for her stay at HAVIN and Asbury was recounting her story to the AP.
"It just amazes me that she does these terrible things and while it may not be a crime, per se, she emotionally rapes people," Asbury said this week. She continues to scour the Internet for clues as to where Slanina might be.
Slanina was jailed in Kittanning until March, when a judge reduced her bond so she could be released and return to Ohio where she was wanted on a parole violation.
She had met a Fredericktown, Ohio, woman online and persuaded the woman and her elderly mother to let her move in with them in 2010 and to lend her money to pay child support for children she doesn't have.
Slanina promised to repay the women from "millions of dollars" she claimed to have inherited but said the money was frozen in a bank account due to red tape. The Fredericktown women believed her, right up to the day in February 2010 that Slanina borrowed the elderly woman's car to "run some errands" and never returned.
Slanina served a few months in prison and was paroled in July 2011, before she was sent back to the Ohio prison in June because her Pennsylvania arrest violated her parole there.
Slanina was released again in August, but authorities in Pennsylvania hadn't gotten a court order that she be returned, and she hasn't been heard from since. She's not in touch with Ohio correctional authorities who list her as a "violator at large," and she's a fugitive in Pennsylvania, where a judge issued a bench warrant in September after she missed a court appearance.
Bowman has contacted every battered women's shelter in Pennsylvania to ensure Slanina won't find a home in any of them if she does come back.
"To misuse a system that is here to help people — in this type of way — is just really offensive," Bowman said. "I just hope she gets stopped. ... I hope at some point, someone considers the cumulative effect of what she's done and makes her pay for it."
Slanina's public defender, Preston Younkins, wouldn't comment on the HAVIN charges, except to say he had been hoping to work out a plea bargain before Slanina skipped.
As to her whereabouts, "At this point, you have about the same information I have," he said.

Amateur photogs, pro cameras
The season's hottest cameras for aspiring shutterbugs
There's an old saying among photographers that the best camera is the one you have with you. For many of us, that's increasingly a smartphone. But if someone on your list relies only on a mobile phone for photography, they're missing out. From blazing-fast shooting speeds to exquisite detail and creative options, nothing can top an interchangeable-lens camera. Thankfully, camera makers have trimmed their cost while adding features to make them approachable for first-time users. So, tell them to pocket that phone and put one of these bad boys around their neck.
Nikon D3100
This is a perfect stepping stone into the world of advanced photography for someone who'd prefer a sturdy, full-sized d-SLR model. The camera's "Guide Mode" gives a user on-screen tutorials, suggesting camera settings to help achieve the desired results. If they want to simply "set and forget" the camera, they can choose the Scene Auto Selector mode and the Nikon D3100 ($699) will automatically pick a scene mode optimized for the shooting environment. They'll be able to frame shots through the viewfinder or 3-inch LCD screen.
It's possible to capture high definition (1920 x 1080) video on the D3100 with full-time autofocus available while you shoot (many d-SLRs disengage autofocus during movie filming, which often results in a blurred mess). The D3100 includes an 18-55mm lens with Nikon's Vibration Reduction technology to reduce image blur. The D3100 offers a 14-megapixel sensor and a burst mode of up to 3 frames per second to capture fast-moving action.
Canon EOS T3i
For those with a little more to spend, Canon's EOS T3i ($899) packs an 18-megapixel CMOS image sensor and can fire off a burst of 3.7fps for up to 34 photos. It also can record high-definition movies. Its high-resolution 3-inch LCD flips out from the camera's body so photogs can frame hard-to-reach shots. The T3i has most of the manual controls you'd expect in a digital SLR (shutter, aperture, white balance, etc.) with a "Scene Intelligent Auto" mode that analyzes the scene in front of you and selects the optimal settings – just point and shoot. The T3i camera kit includes an 18-55mm image stabilized lens and the camera is compatible with Canon's full line of EF and EF-S lenses.
Olympus Pen Mini E-PM1
The Olympus Pen series of cameras offer the interchangeable lenses of a digital SLR camera in a body that's closer in size to a point-and-shoot. The Pen Mini E-PM1 ($499) features a 12-megapixel image sensor and 1080p HD video recording with stereo microphone for high-quality audio capture. They'll frame shots through a bright, 3-inch display and can apply one of six art filters to give images some creative pop. On-board Shadow Adjustment technology helps compensate for high-contrast environments where light and shadow collide.
The PM1 is among the first high-end digital cameras to include a 3D mode for shooting stills with greater depth. Available in purple, pink, brown, white, silver or black, the Pen Mini is just 1.3 inches thick and includes a 14-42mm lens (3x magnification) and works with a growing family of ZUIKO Digital/Micro 4/3 lenses from Olympus and Panasonic, among others.
Sony NEX-3
Sony's NEX-3 offers a similar design to the Pen – a slim body that's still capable of swapping lenses. The NEX-3 delivers slightly lower resolution HD video recording (720p) but packs a few features not found on the Pen, such as a Sweep Panorama mode for easily creating panoramic images. The NEX-3 also delivers a speedier burst mode of up to 7fps and a higher-resolution, 14-megapixel image sensor.
If they're just learning the ropes of advanced photography, an on-screen guide delivers shooting tips to the camera's large, 3-inch display. The display itself can tilt up to 45 degrees down and up to 80-degrees northward, providing flexibility to shoot from different angles.

FRANKLIN, Tenn. (AP) - The U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration has issued an emergency recall of compressed gas cylinders commonly used for propane stoves and other propane-fueled equipment.
The cylinders are manufactured by Franklin-based The Lite Cylinder Company, Inc.
The emergency order was issued after an agency investigation of Lite Cylinder revealed unsafe conditions and practices at the manufacturing plant. The recall affects more than 55,000 of the cylinders. The agency also has prohibited the company from manufacturing more cylinders.
Lite Cylinder has been ordered to immediately contact all cylinder owners and provide instructions about how to safely remove the valve and return the cylinder to the company.

Ukrainian protest group Femen, angry over what they perceive as sexism and male domination of the world economy, ripped off their shirts and tried to force their way into the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
They were members of Ukrainian women's rights group Femen, which has staged numerous protests of a similar ilk across Europe, including at football's Euro 2012 tournament in Poland and Ukraine where their concern was prostitution in host cities. They also staged a topless protest at Davos in 2012.
The ubiquitous and huge security force policing the World Economic Forum in Davos carried the women away, kicking and screaming.
The women, from Ukrainian feminist activist group Femen, scaled a fence and set off pink flares.
Their chests were painted with "SOS Davos," as they sought to call attention to poverty of women around the world.
They said they were protesting against male domination of big business.

Guelph is about an hour from Toronto, Ottawa about 4 in the other direction and Montreal is about 4 more (I think) from Ottawa.To get to Guelph and Ottawa, you will have to drive on the 401. It is the busiest highway in North America. You do NOT want to be driving on this highway at rush hour times because it is very, very congested. Plus, we are now into our other season besides winter. Construction. Only 2 seasons here, winter and construction. So I wouldn't recommend renting a car, in light of the fact that you haven't driven much lately.There is decent train service between Toronto and Ottawa and I believe it continues on to Montreal. There is also train service between Toronto and Guelph but I believe is is mostly a commuter service so you might be limited in travel time.If you are flying into Pearson, you will have to take a bus or taxi to get to the start of the subway line. Once you hit the subway, though, you can get all the way down to Union Station where the trains will leave from.Guelph is a university town so the transit is OK. When I went to school there, it didn't run on Sundays. That may very well have changed though, since that was (mumblety) years ago. Ottawa has decent transit. I don't know about Montreal.
