text: What follows is a bit of advice I gave to my two most cherished ladies as they embarked recently on a Mother's Day cruise to Bermuda. WHY YOU MUST NOT PLAY THE SLOTS ON YOUR BERMUDA CRUISE First of all, the slots will undoubtedly pay a lot less than they do in any casino town because there are no competing casinos on a cruise ship. On the other hand, Roulette is played exactly the same wherever it is played. They are both lousy games, and you will most likely lose money if you play either one.Read More

July 15, 2013: The news out of Lac-Megantic Quebec these days is heartbreaking. Dozens are dead and much of the town's business district has been flattened. In the following video clip, Lac-Megantic resident Amanada Gabrielle tells CBS This Morning, "I lost everything, so it's hard; I don't have nobody here so I don't know what's going to happen to me."
Watch the clip to the end, and you'll see this conversation between anchors Nora O'Donnell and Anthony Mason about the exponential growth in crude-by-rail shipments:
O'Donnell: "This is a real safety concern here in the United States as well."
Mason: "It's in part because they don't have pipelines."
For proponents of the Keystone XL, Mason's remark is a no-brainer; block access to pipelines, and oil and other hazardous materials will find other ways to market, including rail, road, and barge. While these other modes of transport will always play a role in moving products from producers to consumers, consistently fighting against the safest, most reliable, most regulated form of transport – pipelines – makes no sense if one truly cares about the environment.
Many pipeline opponents would counter that the way to prevent future oil-related disasters is to shed our dependence on oil altogether, and that's a very valid point. Crude oil is dirty, nasty, toxic, dangerous stuff, no matter how it is transported. It is also a non-renewable, finite resource. But suggesting that we must choose between the safest mode of shipment and reduced dependence is a false dichotomy that could do real harm if it kills the KXL and diverts oil to those riskier alternatives.
If blocking the KXL would slow or stop development of Alberta's oil sands, and that development were as bad for the environment as its detractors claim, then maybe environmentalist opposition to the KXL would be justified. But both of those rather large hypothetical statements are proving false. In a series of articles, Robert Rapier, Chief Technology Officer and Executive Vice President of renewable energy company Merica International, has demonstrated that continued growth of oil sands development with or without the KXL isn't just a foregone conclusion; it is an established fact, as demonstrated in the following graph.
Note that the sharpest increase in development has occurred over the past six years, even without adequate pipeline capacity. Where is that increased production going? To the very means of transport opponents claim is not a viable alternative to the KXL: rail.
In "Protesting Keystone XL While Rome Burns," Rapier writes,
"If Keystone XL is stopped but the demand for petroleum remains, then the oil is going to find its way to market via more inefficient means of transport. . . . [KXL opponents] will insist that rail can't scale up to take away Keystone-like volumes of oil — and yet the railroads are already doing just that. We don't have to speculate whether it can be done. It is being done. . . ."
". . . while [KXL] protesters assume that if they shut down the pipeline the oil won't be produced (or at least development will be slowed), the reality may be increased carbon emissions and decreased safety. . . ."
Worse yet, while pipeline construction and expansion is subject to exhaustive regulatory review, the expansion of crude-by-rail shipments is subject to little or no regular regulatory review. In a candid display of hypocrisy, Natural Resources Defense Council lawyer Anthony Swift, being interviewed by the New York Times, bemoaned the very expansion his group's opposition to pipelines has spurred.
"We have an explosion of tight oil production in Canada and the United States, and most of it is moving by train, . . . but this process has happened without due diligence."
Of course, if development of the oil sands alone were going to cause the kind of civilization-ending, cataclysmic climate disaster that opponents of the KXL predict it will, then Swift and others might be excused for blasting rail after blocking pipelines.
Yet in both "Protesting Keystone XL While Rome Burns," and "The Keystone XL Pipeline Is Irrelevant," Robert Rapier marshals reams of statistics and data to demonstrate that the net climate-change effect of continued development of the oil sands will be negligible, even under worst-case scenarios. Rapier is not alone in this conclusion. The British science journal Nature last year reported that climate researchers Andrew Weaver and Neil Swart had published a study concluding that the environmental impact of continued tar sands development would be primarily local, not global, and would have little or no effect on worldwide carbon emissions. The journal's editors, not exactly oil-and-gas-industry shills, subsequently opined that,
". . . regarding the Keystone pipeline, the administration should face down critics of the project, ensure that environmental standards are met and then approve it. As Nature has suggested before (see Nature 477, 249; 2011), the pipeline is not going to determine whether the Canadian tar sands are developed or not. Only a broader — and much more important — shift in energy policy will do that."
Curiously, Fuel Fix reports that the Obama administration may be using its upcoming KXL decision as leverage to effect just such a policy shift by encouraging TransCanada to further reduce its carbon footprint. On July 2, TransCanada announced it was spending $470 million to acquire a solar farm in Ontario, adding to more than $5 billion worth of investments the company has made in other emission-less sources of energy. Critics would no doubt decry this as nothing more than "green washing," and it would be naive to think that public image has nothing to do with this investment, but if the net result is continued backing for a growing portfolio of alternative energy assets, how is that a bad thing?
Meanwhile, as one of the longest arguments over a single infrastructure project in U.S. history rages on in air-conditioned office buildings, at competing demonstrations, and over backyard fences and barbeques, tens of thousands of highly skilled, safe, productive, union construction workers sit idle through yet another construction season.
That is a disgrace.

During the coin toss, which included among others, the great Lynn Swann acting as an honorary captain on the field, I repeated to myself, 'call tails.' But as I was willing James Farrior to call tails, Potsie forgot to say the most important part: "Tails never fails." All he called was "tails," and it came up heads. Potsie, since my playing days, all captains knew they had to call "Tails never fails." Don't these young guys know anything?
Bruce Arians had a great game plan to open the game. Moving the pocket to use the Cardinals' youth, inexperience, and exuberance -- like that of a hound chasing the craftier fox -- played out perfectly. Hines Ward took advantage of it to open the drive with that 38-yarder, while the Cardinals' defensive line did everything but bark and howl as they pursued Big Ben.
The offensive line looked good in that first quarter. Say what you want about them, but don't question their heart or fighting spirit. The O line is still a place where having a "Thick face, black heart" is the most important attribute to have. Key to the early success of the running game and Gary Russell's touchdown run was Darnell Stapleton and Willie Colon doing a great job of double teaming. Willie really banged the hip on a couple run plays on the double team, while Darnell kept his ham hocks pumping while driving Darnell Dockett into the end zone on the Russell plunge. Dockett though, is a force and would be heard from later on.
The later on came in the form of two sacks Dockett laid on Ben Roethlisberger. When center Justin Hartwig moves away on a wall protection, and Darnell knows this, he has to be aware that he's naked to his inside. Darnell has to sit a half-step to his inside to make up for Justin moving away. He didn't and wasn't as Dockett smoked him to his inside. Dockett is a freak of nature, fast-twitch through and through. If you sneeze, Dockett is already by you. Stapleton will learn.
James Harrison has attained legendary status. Everybody knows about the run. If ever anybody wrung every ounce of O2 and vitality out of their body for one play and left it on the field it was that 100-yard run. After the game he told me that he couldn't get any air. The doctors and trainers were all over him and all he told them was to get out of his face so that he could breathe. He also doinked his neck when he hit the ground. I asked James what was harder, the end zone turf or Casey Hampton's butt last year. No comparison, Snack's butt won hands down. While I was interviewing Harrison on radio the next morning, James described Larry Fitzgerald's fourth quarter catch and run that put Arizona on top. James said "I looked and saw Ike Taylor fall down. I said 'Lord please let Ryan catch him.' He didn't. I said 'Lord, please let Troy catch him.' He didn't. I said 'Lord, please let him trip and fall down' 'cause I ain't going to catch him."
James also picked up a trick from Troy Polamalu that helped him during the game. On the fumble that wasn't a fumble, (ruled by replay) James lined up over Mike Gandy, the Cards' left tackle. On the snap of the ball, Harrison flashed his back to the line of scrimmage as if he were dropping into coverage. After faking, Harrison came like a wolverine with his fur on fire. Seeing Harrison dropping into coverage, Gandy started to squeeze inside to help guard Reggie Wells thus giving the Silverback the edge rush. Harrison threw his patented uppercut on a late-reacting Gandy and turned the corner forcing Warner to step up in the pocket and catch a heaping, helping face full of a blitzing Potsie Farrior.
Hines Ward is, as the Turk in the booth likes to say, "Tougher than woodpecker lips." From the get-go Hines wanted to lay down the law. Stir things up a little. Antonio Smith had a handful of Chris Kemoeatu's face mask in a scrum at the end of a play, literally twisting his neck using the face mask. So Hines policed the pile and pulled Smith off "Big Juicy." Smith, honked off at Ward's intervention, turned and uppercutted Hines right in the bread basket. Hines, as he told me later, wasn't about to hurt his hand punching Smith in the helmet so he gave him the old Three Stooges eye poke. Moe, Larry ... the cheese!
The Fire X stunt that the Steelers liked to run with Farrior and Foote blitzing on the front side really hit home. They beat on Kurt Warner like he was a human piñata. I'll say this about Warner, he's a serious tough guy. How he got back up after some of those hits had me shaking my head.
All kinds of things were running through my gourd when Big Ben called the boys into the huddle on the last drive. And the first play resulted in a holding call. OK, let's see if No. 7 really has the magic, first and 20 from the 12-yard line. For some reason Cardinals defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergrast called off the dogs; he didn't blitz like he had been. And 7 came through. What a throw and what a catch! Absolute bedlam!
I stood 15 feet from Hines and Santonio on the sideline as they stood together awaiting the replay result. It struck me that the torch was being passed from one great to another, one Super Bowl MVP to perhaps another. One thing was certain: They both appeared confident the catch was good. And they were right.
While chatting up offensive line coach Larry Zierlein on the Monday morning radio show, I asked him if he was a country and western fan, because I thought he should go play Toby Keith's song "How Do You Like Me Now?" It seemed rather fitting after all the criticism he and his boys endured all year that, as a world champion, he might like that one. I was right.
After all the hooting and hollering of the post-game on-field activities ceased, I boarded the players bus back to their hotel for the party. Seated a couple of rows in front of me was the youngest head coach to win a Super Bowl. On the TV, a few talking ESPN heads were flapping their lips and one of them said, "only 221 days before the 2009 season starts." Coach Mike laughed. "Can't I just get to the hotel and enjoy this one?" he said.
You betcha, Coach Mike. Enjoy it.

Across the feeds of LinkedIn, to the tool chests of every self proclaimed lean or operational consultant out there stands ready the infamous "assessment".
Let us come in they say...we'll tell you how "mature" your organization is...then create a specific action plan for you...
That's right Jerry.
[The minion, I believe his name is Jerry...just saying]
NO Assessment Needed....well at least nothing that's "lean" or "six sigma" oriented...or "TLS" or "TOC" or any other alphabet soup title you want to slap on some overdone checklist.
But, but, but, but, how, how can you say such a thing?
This first topic has far reaching consequences...
Lean isn't something that you "add on" or "decide to apply" when the mood strikes you, or when you are given a new cost reduction goal. You either practice lean, or you don't, but we don't practice lean....and say we "we did the lean stuff". We run a business.
When someone goes to school to get their MBA, what they learn is considered a mastery level of BUSINESS administration. (how effectively that occurs is a subject for another day) When we hire a COO, we consider them to be the leader of OPERATIONS. So there's the Business, and there's Operations, and everything we do as part of the mastery of running the business / operations.
When we hire another leader, and call them the director of lean, or director of "OpEx" (yep, point the finger right at me too), or the VP of Business Transformation - we have to be VERY careful that what we aren't doing is making "lean" (or OpEx) something other than a different method of running the business. Lean (or whatever you want to call it) has to be the very principles by which you run that business.
Lean manufacturing, lean thinking, lean enterprise, lean IT, OpEx, Process Excellence, LSS, etc etc etc. If it's an "add-on", just forget it. Stop pretending. Stop creating the false hope that you might decide to lead differently.
But...if instead you really want to try a different way (different from the way taught and practiced by the majority of MBA graduates out there)
You need to embrace that lean IS your Business method, your way of thinking, and not something that needs assessed separately. If you do, then why do you need a "lean" assessment? If lean = "method of running a business", then just assess your business the same way you would any other day.
How do you assess your company's performance? Profit Sharing? Profit? Cash Flow? Customer Satisfaction? Turnover? These don't change when you move from command and control, zero sum methods to lean. (though lean certainly views some things differently from standard cost accounting, and doesn't make shareholders supreme).
"But Nick, we still need to know where a company is on it's lean journey".
Really? You need a full blown assessment to do that? You can't just...take a walk?
I'm going to steal a page from a past colleague of mine that once had a short document he'd give to us before doing site visits titled "Is it Lean?". These few questions were based on the idea that you are visiting a company or location...
AND...last but not least, a lean assessment boiled down to one little question:
Are the workers toilets as nice and as clean as the Executives?? I'll let you draw your own conclusions there as to how to judge this one.

Biodegradation of tert-butyl alcohol and related xenobiotics by a methylotrophic bacterial isolate

A new aerobic bacterial strain, CIP I-2052, isolated from an activated sludge sample, was able to use tert-butyl alcohol (TBA), a product of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE) degradation, as its sole carbon and energy source. Cobalt ions stimulated TBA mineralization. The maximum growth and TBA degradation rates were 0.032±0.004 h–1 and 35.8±8.5 mg TBA·g–1 (cell dry mass) per h, respectively. The growth yield on TBA was 0.54±0.02 g·g–1. Strain CIP I-2052 exhibited a particular substrate specificity towards alcohols. It degraded tertiary alcohols, TBA and tert-amyl alcohol (TAA), but neither their primary and secondary alcohol homologues, nor ethanol. However, one-carbon compounds, namely methanol and formate, were degraded by strain CIP I-2052, showing the methylotrophic nature of this isolate. The properties of this new strain suggest that it could be used for bioremediation of contaminated aquifers.

Just hours before the I-20 interstate near Atlanta rapidly bulges sending a motorcycle driver flying into the air a volcano in Costa Rica was sending large HOT boulders a 1/2 miles into the air prompting an evacuation of locals and tourists in the nearby area. The caldera of the Turrialba Volcano exploded unexpectedly on 4/17/2017.
The following day on April 18 there were two 6.0 earthquakes within the same hour, one in Fiji and the other in Peru (may have been downgraded to 5.8). The Fiji quake was very deep and the Peru quake was very shallow. That showed us a "rapid" energy shift.
Then today, a very strange seismogram signature shows up from the middle of China, near the ancient city of Enshi. The seismogram is showing a long duration frequency that has persisted for the last 24 hours and matches nothing like we've ever seen before on these instruments either man-made or of a natural signature..nothing really even close..almost alien…really odd.

General Specifications
If the loaded enclosure or amplifier and subwoofer package includes more than a single subwoofer, then this is the total peak power handling for all of the subs combined.
Peak power handling refers to the amount of power a speaker can handle during a brief musical burst. The RMS power range figure is a much more reliable rating for determining the speaker's power requirements.
DVD Player
Pandora Radio
Yes - 720p
This means that the device is able to reduce more noise with the help of a digital processor.
It is a system that tries to filter out "digital noise", aka picture distortion. This distortion can occur for many different reasons. Anything from the very power used to operate the device to the lights (LED) on the front of the player itself.
This means that the devices will enhance the framerate of older videos to play smoothly on the display set.
Film is usually shot in 24 frames per second with 2 fields per frame. One field for the even lines, and one for the odd. The standard NTSC broadcast is 30 frames per second. To achieve this frames have to be created to sustain a smooth image. So out of every 4 frames, a 5th frame is created by combining opposite fields of consecutive frames, in turn creating a new frame so the outcome will be 30 frames from 24.

Tod Machover, arranger and synthesist; Boston Camerata, Boston Shawm and Sackbut Ensemble, Harvard University Choir and the Youth Pro Musica directed by Joel Cohen.
Erato 14773-2; CD.
It is difficult to consider ''Angels: Voices From Eternity'' without concluding that Joel Cohen, the widely respected director of the Boston Camerata, has been led into commercial temptation and succumbed. Between the title and the cover art, featuring a decidedly sinister (and decidedly male) winged being in an eerie blue light, the recording seems carefully calculated to sell in large quantities at your neighborhood New Age emporium, between the lavishly illustrated volumes recounting true life adventures with friendly angels and the multicolored vials of aromatherapy oil.
Not that Mr. Cohen's is the only big name involved. Tod Machover, of ''Brain Opera'' fame, is also party to the proceedings. Although ''Brain Opera,'' presented at the Lincoln Center Festival '96 and elsewhere, was largely a triumph of hype over substance, it generated reams of publicity. The question here is whether Mr. Machover was part of the original concept or recruited to try to save a faltering project.
Mr. Cohen is famed for the eclecticism of his recordings, mixing medieval carols with European folk songs and 19th-century American compositions. Here he restricts himself to two disparate sources -- medieval religious music and Shaker hymns -- and it's an awkward fit; the pieces have little in common but their references to angels.Continue reading the main story
Thirty-two selections have been banded together in nine groups (''Angel of Light,'' ''The War in Heaven'' and so on), and Mr. Machover has tried to link them together in what he is pleased to call ''an almost operatic sweep'' with his computer synthesizer.
The vocal and instrumental renditions are superb. Mr. Machover's additions are mixed. Sometimes they are unobtrusive; sometimes they add interest. And sometimes they are simply annoying. His sole original composition, ''The Angel of Death,'' based in part on the Mass for the Dead, has lovely moments but then gets lost in gratuitous cacophony and bizarre noises seemingly thrown in for their own sake.
Those already riding the angelic bandwagon should find items of interest here, as will fans of Mr. Machover. Listeners who have enjoyed earlier offerings of Mr. Cohen and the Boston Camerata should approach this album with caution. SARAH BRYAN MILLERContinue reading the main story

Labour said it would force the vote in the clear hope of defeating the Government with the backing of the Ulster Unionists and Euro-sceptics.
But ministers could shrug off the defeat without resorting to a vote of confidence which could bring down the Government. It came as Tory Euro- sceptics confirmed that they would seek a second vote on a referendum to pull Britain out of the European Union - a demand condemned as "lunatic" by pro-Euro Tory MPs as the civil war erupted again in the Conservative Party.
John Redwood, the former Secretary of State for Wales, disclosed yesterday that he was seeking to broker a deal between the Government and Sir James Goldsmith, the international financier, over a referendum. In an attempt to end the threat to Tory seats at the general election by the Referendum Party, Mr Redwood said he would discuss with Malcolm Rifkind, the Foreign Secretary, his plans for a referendum on Europe to be held on the same day as the general election.
Mr Redwood's pressure for a referendum came as Tory divisions over Europe were exposed again, with Edwina Currie, the pro-Euro Tory MP, attacking demands by Teresa Gorman and Euro-sceptic colleagues as "completely lunatic".
David Howell, leader of the One Nation group of Tory MPs, warned colleagues that they had "lost the power of argument and found only the power of abuse". Mr Howell condemned as "deplorable" Euro-sceptics who were "calling themselves Conservatives but unable to conduct themselves as such".
John Prescott, the Labour deputy leader, said: "John Major is trying to control the uncontrollable. It is difficult not to feel sorry for him. Attacked from left and right, ignored by everyone. So much for his weekend calls for unity. One word from John Major and civil war breaks out all over again."
The beef crisis has intensified Tory criticism of the CAP, leading to calls by the eight former whipless rebels for Britain to withdraw from the CAP.
The Euro-sceptic Tory MPs led by Sir Teddy Taylor stepped up their own campaign for a referendum on the European Union at a press conference at Westminster. But Mrs Curriesaid: "They are following the leadership of Sir James Goldsmith who is not a member of the Conservative Party and does not live in this country rather than the leadership of the Prime Minister."
Mr Redwood, who published his own manifesto yesterday, said a referendum would increase Tory support and could avert the threat of a challenge to Tory candidates by Sir James's Referendum Party.
n The Scots will fly the European Union flag today to cock a snook at Michael Forsyth, Secretary of State for Scotland, who will be attending the Scottish Tory party conference in Aberdeen, Charles Kennedy, the Liberal Democrat MP, said last night. Mr Forsyth had banned the Euro-flag from public buildings to celebrate European Day today.
Poll shows 64% are against the Euro
Sixty-four per cent of voters oppose a single European currency, according to an ICM poll for today's Guardian which also shows Labour's lead has slipped five points in the past month.
Only 29 per cent support Britain joining a single currency, which could be launched in 1999. Supporters of all three main parties are divided on the issue, with Labour voters least opposed, by 57 to 36 per cent.
In interviews last weekend, Labour was down 5 at 45 per cent on ICM's adjusted figures, the Tories were down 1 at 28 per cent, with the Liberal Democrats up 4 on 21 per cent.
The unadjusted figures, with similar changes, were Labour 50, Tories 26, Lib Dems 20 per cent.

Finally the months of hard work bear fruit with Bath CC's first win at Castle Combe. Simon Ker wins in a two man break away
The second of this year's come-and-try-it evening club ten mile time trials on the UC361R Frome bypass was held last night. Nigel and Alison Vuagniaux organised the event. It was a busy night for Nigel as he also put up signs for the event, held up the riders at the start and rode the event well.
Another beautiful night at Odd Down brought out a full field in the 3/4s with 8 Bath CC riders. The team did an excelent job in covering the breaks for the first 15 mins, making sure that no one got away. More…

Google's Shakespeare: Bard's publishers need not fretby
I was surfing through Google's complete Shakespeare, and I looked up one of my favorite quotes from Julius Caesar.
Let me have men about me that are fat, Sleek-headed men, and such as
sleep o' nights. Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look ...
It appears that whichever machine was combing through the paper pages got jammed, and the page is utterly unreadable. Is love's labor lost? I'd say rather, all's well that ends well: Google produces a formidable research tool, and publishers still have buyers for their books--at least for a while. By the way, they have a convenient feature to report this type of problem. I'll check back in a day or two to see how quickly they respond.

REST Service to extract data from huge log files
This project was awarded to aptecpymefree for $700 USD.Get free quotes for a project like this
Project Budget$250 - $750 USD
Total Bids13
Project Description
The project is to build an application providing selective access to logged information.
It will provide a web api interface to search and return filtered data.
Trace files are text files written by different inhouse applications (format described
in the attached document). They can become very large (few gigabytes). As they grow,
older trace files are split to be archives on separate servers and can be
compressed (gzip/7zip) to save space.
The challenge is to navigate quickly into large amounts of data to extract
relevant information and reply in a very short time as this service will be
used by an interactive help desk application.
The technical background is .Net framework 4.0, C#, Windows Server 2008r2 64 bits
and the use of [url removed, login to view] MVC4 WebAPI. To test the different parts of the application,
unit tests using the xUnit framework are needed. An MSbuild build script will
also be provided.
Further information is given in the detailed specification. Sample trace files are also
provided to test your developments.
This project is the first component of a larger modular project. Depending on success, other projects may be added in the future.

35893File - Frequently Asked Questions
Expand Messages
- Jul 1, 2014Frequently Asked Questions:
What is HLS?
Huntingdon Life Sciences is the 3rd largest CRO in the world (see
<<What is a CRO?>> below) and the largest animal testing facility in
all of Europe.
What is a CRO (Contract Research Organization)?
A CRO, or Contract Research Organization is a lab whose business
comes from contractual work from other pharmaceutical and chemical
companies. They do not develop products or research disease and
treatment; they test products. As a CRO HLS will test any product on
any animal for any company that has enough money to pay them to do
How long has HLS been in existence?
HLS has been open and killing animals since 1952. The lab will
celebrate its 50th Birthday December 1, 2002. (Don�t miss the
National Protest! Check out www.DECEMBER1.net)
Where is HLS located?
HLS has 3 facilities: two in England and one in America.
Its main site is Huntingdon Research Center (Huntingdon Life
Sciences; Woolley Road; Alconbury; Huntingdon; Cambridgeshire; PE28
4HS; Phone (from the U.S.): 011 44 1480 892 000; Fax (from the U.S.):
011 44 1480 892 205; Email: sales@...).
HLS also runs an Eye Research Center in England (Huntingdon Life
Sciences' Eye Research; Barric Lane; Occold; Suffolk; IP23 7PX; Fax
(from the U.S.): 011 44 1379 672291).
HLS�s only U.S. site is in New Jersey. Called the �Princeton
Research Center� in an effort to associate itself with the prestige
of Princeton, this facility is actually located 30 minutes north of
Princeton in East Millstone, near New Brunswick in Central New Jersey
(HLS Inc.; P.O. Box 2360; Mettlers Road; East Millstone; NJ;
08875-2360; Phone: (732) 873-2550; Fax: (732) 873-8513).
How many animals does HLS use?
HLS kills approximately 180,000 animals every year, or 500 per day.
Average numbers of specific animals are as follows (yearly): Dogs
(2600); Cats (400); Rodents (132,894); Rabbits (5106); Fish (10,300);
Birds (7800); Primates (1700); other animals (19200).
These figures were obtained by averaging out the number of animals
listed in USDA reports and other published reports from other
overseers and government regulatory agents, over the past few years.
It is estimated that, at any one time, there are 70,000 animals
imprisoned at HLS waiting to die.
What kinds of animals do they use?
As a contract lab, HLS uses whatever animal(s) they are instructed to
by the customer contracting the experiment. These include dogs,
cats, rats, mice, rabbits, fish, birds, non-human primates, and �farm
When using dogs, labs, including HLS, often use Beagles as they are
very passive and unwilling to bite. Their docile nature decreases
resistance to the process of shoving tubes down their throats,
restraining them, etc. (We�d like them to use a Pit-Bull and see how
far they get.)
What products does HLS test?
HLS tests whatever they are hired to test. They provide full
development programs to get agrochemicals onto the market (such as
pesticides, herbicides, weed-killers, fertilizers, etc.).
They also test household products such as detergents, tanning
lotions, diet pills, food wrapping plastic, coffee sweeteners, some
pharmaceuticals etc. Viagra was tested at HLS, as was Olestra, a
fat-free �oil� that was found safe in animal tests at HLS but caused
anal leakage in humans.
HLS also experiments with the controversial genetically modified
organisms (GMOs) and has performed Xenotransplantation experiments.
Check out the largest leak ever of documents about a confidential
experiment here <<Xeno Scandal Link>>.
What laws exist to protect laboratory animals?
Laws protecting �laboratory animals� are very limited in the U.S.
The Animal Welfare Act (AWA) is the most commonly cited legal
protection given to animals in labs. However, the AWA is not an
provision designed specifically for �lab animals.� It is designed to
provide (minimal) protection for all animals, as defined by the Act
as, ��any live or dead dog, cat, monkey (nonhuman primate mammal),
guinea pig, hamster, rabbit, or such other warm-blooded animal, as
the Secretary may determine is being used, or is intended for use,
for research, testing, experimentation, or exhibition purposes or as
a pet; but such term excludes horses not used for research purposes
and other farm animals, such as, but not limited to livestock or
poultry, used or intended for use as food or fiber, or livestock or
poultry used or intended for improving animal nutrition, breeding,
management or production efficiency, or for improving the quality of
food or fiber. With respect to a dog the term means all dogs
including those used for hunting, security, or breeding purposes.�
Additionally, the AWA merely regulates adequate food, water, housing,
exercise, and veterinary care; it places no restrictions whatsoever
on what can be done to animals during actual experiments. The
following provision ensures this: �Nothing in these rules,
regulations, or standards shall affect or interfere with the design,
outline, or performance of actual research or experimentation by a
research facility as determined by such research facility.�
Furthermore, under the Animal Welfare Act rats, mice, birds, fish,
and farm animals (which comprise 85-90% of the animals used in
�research� are not considered animals and hence are not afforded even
the minimal protection of the AWA.
Read the full text of the AWA here:
Beyond the Animal Welfare Act, animals in laboratories are also
afforded the �protection� of Institutional Animal Care and Use
Committees, or IACUCs. Institutions that use laboratory animals for
research or instructional purposes are required by Federal law to
establish an Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) to
�oversee and evaluate all aspects of the institution's animal care
and use program,� (www.IACUC.org). In actuality IACUCs are rubber
stamp committees comprised of vivisectors from the institution
conducting the research. In fact, Federal law requires that only one
member of an institution�s IACUC must be an individual not officially
affiliated with the institution; no laws exist requiring that any
IACUC member not be an animal researcher her/himself. Hence, the
�protection� afforded to animals via IACUC�s is merely a cycle of
vivisectors rubberstamping vivisectors.
What is SHAC?
SHAC, or Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty, is an international campaign
to close HLS. SHAC began in England after 4 legendary campaigns that
closed animal breeders revolutionized the animal rights movement.
The campaign has now spread across Europe and the US, and around the
world, with anti- HLS activity in at least 15 countries (including
America, Ireland, the UK, Portugal, France, Germany, South Africa,
Italy, Austria, Czech Republic, Holland, Indonesia, New Zealand,
Austria, and Japan) and in nearly every major city in the U.S.
SHAC-USA began in January 2001 when the Little Rock, AR-based firm,
Stephens Inc., saved HLS from bankruptcy. As UK campaigners
steam-rolled HLS, the lab turned to the US for financial backers to
rescue it, as no company in England would touch it with a 10-foot
pole. American activists took a stand against allowing our country
to be a dumping ground for things that more progressive countries
have kicked out. SHAC-USA was formed to target the HLS�s New Jersey
facility, its US affiliates, and to pose a firm resistance to HLS�s
eyeing America as a safe haven.
Shouldn�t we be targeting the vivisection industry as a whole rather
than just one lab?
Both the vivisection and animal rights activists agree: the HLS
campaign is an attack on the entire vivisection industry. In a
6/13/02 Financial Times article, Frankie Trull, President of the U.S.
Foundation for Bio-medical Research (a vivisection-funded PR group)
marked it as a gateway campaign, telling a conference on the �threat
of animal rights activism� that, ��attacks on HLS threaten(ed) the
entire scientific[sic] research community.�
The vivisection industry is enormous, politically connected, and very
well-funded. Taking on a select, winnable portion of it allows us to
make a huge dent while building a larger, stronger movement to
continue in the direction of obliterating animal testing.
Closing HLS will send ripples throughout the entire animal research
industry, and it is fighting harder than ever to make sure we don�t
win. A line has been drawn in the sand between animal testing and
animal rights, and both sides recognize HLS as the battleground.
Won�t ending animal testing in Western countries just send it �Third
World� countries where standards are lower and it will be worse for
the animals?
Such a move is considered highly unlikely by scientists. In short,
these countries do not have the infrastructure to support the
vivisection industry.
Close communication between the company developing the product and
the company testing it is necessary. Major chemical and
pharmaceutical companies are not going to move to Third World
countries because, (a) CEO�s, Boards and Management have no interest
in living there, (b) these countries are not prime locations for
running their company or promoting their product.
Additionally, quality control issues arise: (1) These countries
simply do not have the technology and resources to conduct testing
that uses sophisticated equipment. One example is quality
electricity as opposed to fluctuating amperage, etc. (2) Outside
agencies evaluate the testing and it is unlikely regulators are going
to travel to the Third World to do so. If these countries had their
own regulatory agencies, quality control again becomes an issue. (3)
Companies who test their products on animals avoid liability when
these products cause problems in humans. So, when the lawsuits come
down and the jury learns the drug was tested in Vietnam, Pakistan,
etc., the plaintiff�s will receive higher rewards.
[Note: the above answer was informed by M.D.�s from Americans For
Medical Advancement.]
Isn�t it more important to get people to go vegan/end the fur
trade/stop hunting/etc. than close this one laboratory?
Unarguably stopping all animal suffering is important. Some feel it
is more important to work for �farm animals� because a larger number
of animals are killed for food, or fur because the fur trade is
already weakened, etc. However, it will not be the HLS campaign - or
any other campaign against a different issue - but a strong movement
that attacks all animal abuse, that achieves animal liberation. And
the HLS campaign has done more to build an effective animal rights
movement than any campaign before it.
Vivisection was not chosen because it is particular. Rather, the HLS
campaign presented, for the first time, an opportunity to join hands
with a more sophisticated movement, one with four previous victories
driving it, and build the type of movement that will be necessary if
we are to achieve animal liberation. No other example in the
grassroots has presented such an opportunity.
SHAC views this campaign within a broader agenda of animal rights.
Our outreach events include information on numerous animal issues.
The HLS campaign has planted the seed of animal rights as a
legitimate political struggle for many people.

By Patrick J. Buchanan
Was race a factor in the decision of Colin Powell to repudiate his party's nominee and friend of 25 years, Sen. John McCain, two weeks before Election Day, and to endorse Barack Obama?
Gen. Powell does not deny it, contending only that race was not the only or decisive factor. "If I had only that fact in mind," he told Tom Brokaw, "I could have done this six, eight, ten months ago."
Yet, in hailing Barack as a "transformational figure" whose election would "electrify our country ... (and) the world," Powell seems to testify to the centrality of Barack's ethnicity to his decision.
For what else is there about this freshman senator, who has no significant legislative accomplishment, to transform our politics and to electrify the world, other than the fact that he would be the nation's first African-American president?
Powell's endorsement follows that of another African-American icon, Congressman John Lewis of Selma Bridge fame, who switched allegiance from Hillary to Barack, while Clinton still had a fighting chance to win.
When Lewis deserted her in February, he, too, claimed a Road-to-Damascus experience, to have seen a transformational figure:
"Something's happening in America, something some of us did not see coming ... Barack Obama has tapped into something that is extraordinary. ... It's a movement. It's a spiritual event."
Lewis' desertion, however, was not unrelated to a primary challenge in his Atlanta district and angry constituent demands to know why he was not backing the first black with a real chance at winning the White House.
Powell was under no such pressure. Hence, what he did, and why, are subjects of media and political speculation.
Understandably, Powell is being hailed by the Obama media as a profile in courage. Equally understandably, his endorsement of Obama is said by Republicans to smack of ingratitude, opportunism, and even vindictiveness toward a party to which he owes his fame and career.
Here was a man who was rendered extraordinary honors by three Republican presidents. Reagan raised him from Army colonel to national security adviser, the first African-American in the post. George H. W. Bush named him chairman of the Joint Chiefs, over hundreds of more senior officers. George W. Bush made him the first African-American secretary of state.
While he may have gotten well with the capital elite with this decision, Powell has wounded his party's nominee at a point of maximum vulnerability, a friend who supported him on the war, and agreed with Powell on the need for a larger invasion force. And Powell has embraced a liberal Democrat who owes his nomination to his fierce opposition to the war Powell sold the nation, a war Obama calls the worst blunder in U.S. history and a manifestation of a lack of judgment by those, like Colin Powell, who launched it.
Joe Biden, who voted to authorize the war, now calls his vote a mistake. Yet, Powell endorses him, too, while repudiating a McCain-Palin ticket that continues to defend his war.
And the scatter-gun attack Powell launched on the GOP ticket - hitting McCain for fumbling the financial crisis, choosing Sarah Palin, pressing Barack's association with William Ayers, and not defending Obama's Christianity - suggests a man with scores to settle with the party of George W. Bush.
Yet, what kind of Republican can Powell be when he professes deep concern that McCain might choose Supreme Court justices like John Roberts and Sam Alito? Every Republican in the Senate voted for Roberts. All but one voted for Alito.
Does Colin Powell have a problem with Antonin Scalia? Is the general a Ruth Bader Ginsberg Republican?
There is speculation Powell feels badly used by the neocons who cherry-picked and hyped the intelligence about weapons of mass destruction he presented at the U.N., and that he harbors a distrust of the neocons now reassembling around McCain.
If so, he surely has a case, and should have made it.
But in the last analysis, one comes back to the forbidden issue of ethnicity. For example, would Powell have endorsed Hillary, had she won the nomination? After all, her views on Iraq - having supported the war and never apologized - are even closer to Powell's than Obama's.
The issue cannot be avoided.
After all, we are in a year where Obama defeated the wife of "our first black president," Bill Clinton, 90-10 in the black wards of Philly, and African-Americans, in one poll, are going 94-1 for Barack. And a Republican ticket that is hammering Barack on his ties to William Ayers fears to bring up his far closer ties to the Afro-racist anti-American Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
Organizing a fundraiser last year for New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, an Hispanic Democrat, Lionel Sosa of San Antonio, a political strategist for Reagan, Bush I, and Bush II, said, "Blood runs thicker than politics."
Mr. Sosa is perhaps more candid about his motives than folks in D.C.
