VX One Midwinter Championship - Reich wins Tampa tie-breaker
Sun, 3 Feb 2013
The VX One Midwinter Championship concluded with four competitors tied on points for the lead, and David Reich of Birmingham, Alabama winning the tie-breaker. Reich, John Potter, Brian Bennett and Donnie Brennan were all knotted at twelve points after six races, and hopes for completing a seventh race were dashed when the breeze shut off. Winds started around eight knots but quickly died to 2-3 knots, so the Race Committee shortened the course to finish race 6. Timothy Pitts grabbed the top spot in that contest, with Bennett and Brennan behind him.
Reich, also the VX One Class President, raced with local Robby Brown, whom Reich called, 'a plethora of knowledge.' Reich praised the exciting tight racing of the 10-boat fleet, saying, 'It really could have gone to anybody there in that last race, but we came out on the better end of the deal with the tie.' Hosted by the Davis Island Yacht Club in Tampa, Florida, the Championship is the first stand-alone Midwinters for the young VX One Class. 'This is a good place for the VX One Class,' Reich believed. 'My hope is for the Class to continue to come here on an annual basis.'
Conditions varied throughout the three-day event. Reich summarized, 'We had one good heavy day, a couple medium races and a few light races. It really mixes things up.' Brown is new to the VX One, but shared his admiration, 'I love the boat. I've sailed other sport boats but this is one of the most fun boats I've been on. It's every bit as fast and manageable as advertised.'
The top six: David Reich (12 points), John Potter (12), Brian Bennett (12), Donnie Brennan (12), Timothy Pitts (25), Rob Doolittle (25). Complete results are online at

Couple filling hole in bagel market
Sunday, March 18, 2007
Steamboat Springs The owners of a new bagel shop in downtown Steamboat Springs had a feeling people on the west side of town were hungry.
Based on the steady stream of customers coming into Bagel Works at 1117 Lincoln Ave. on Wednesday morning, the husband-wife team Matt and Hope Hannon were right. The store had only been open four days, and Bagel Works already had its regulars.
"I've been here pretty much every day since it opened," said Shawn Tompkins, who was picking up something he knew he liked - an onion bagel, not toasted and with veggie cream cheese. "I'm a bagel fiend, and I live and work on this side of town."
"It's really nice to have another option on this end of town," customer Meagan Redfern agreed.
Everyone who made their way into Bagel Works was able to find something they liked, whether it was a fresh-baked bagel with Philadelphia Cream Cheese or a breakfast or lunch bagel sandwich served any time. Matt Hannon thinks he picked a good spot for his bagel business.
"I wanted the west side of town because there are a lot of people living on the west side and not a lot of food choices," said Hannon, who said he spent nearly two years looking for the right space to rent. "It has been a lot busier than I thought it would have been the first couple days."
Hannon has been coming to Steamboat since the early 1990s and lived in Fort Collins since 1992 before moving to Steamboat in October. He went to school at Colorado State University.
When Hannon was asked how he got into the bagel business, Hannon answered: "I got a degree in anthropology."
The jobs available in the anthropology field did not appeal to him so Hannon got a job at Bagel Works in Fort Collins. There he met his future wife and in 1998, he bought the store. Hannon's parents then retired in Steamboat and Hannon decided that is where he wanted to raise his family and open his second Bagel Works store.
In October he began renovating the building where Bagel Works would be located. The space was formerly occupied by a drycleaner, and Hannon practically gutted the interior to the concrete and dirt floor, he said.
"It was quite a transformation to see this building go from a drycleaner to this," said Jane Hannon, Matt Hannon's mom.
Wednesday morning, while Matt and Hope were taking care of customers, Jane was busy looking after the "bagel baby." That is what Hope calls their 14-month-old son, Sawyer. His grandpa, Bruce Hannon, was also busy, canvassing the downtown area with Bagel Works menus.
With Bagel Works opening, there are now two places in Steamboat that have a menu focused around bagels.
Colorado Bagel Co. and Deli opened in Central Park Plaza on the east side of town in 1993. Jeff Puffett owns the business and said he thinks there is room for another bagel shop in Steamboat.
"I think it's great," Puffett said. "We get a few people from the west end of town, but it's great for that end of town. I think it will do well."
Bagel Works is open from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily. Call 871-1353.

"Filling hole in Bagel Market..." That play on words would work better on a donut shop opening since you can barely see any hole in a bagel.
I'll definitely try the place, though. Nice words from Jeff for his competition. That's class!

I love Daylight Donuts, too bad it would fall into a "formula store" category. Remember when they used to be in town? Soooo good!!!!!!
another_local 6 years, 2 months ago
workerbee... you may be interested to know that there is NO move to ban formula stores, only to limit the number of them in total and prevent them from dominating any part of the city. Under the proposed ordinance and the variations under discussion, a Daylight Doughnuts would be able to open.
But that is a good example of yet another formula business that failed here. There are more of those than there are success stories.
Watcher 6 years, 2 months ago
I remember when Arby's was here. They had a terrible location, for the time, and their service was horrible. I was not suprised that they went out of business. ANY store with those problems will not make it here, formula store or home grown. The way to stay in business and thrive is location, location, location combined with good products and terrific service. Storeowners take notice.

The bagels are fantastic! The Merchant is also on the west end of town, next to Grease Monkey.

Pediatricians Fact-Check Bachmann's Bashing of HPV Vaccine | |
6:57:36 PM, Tuesday, September 13, 2011 | |
"Now the nation's pediatricians have waded deep and early into the race for the presidency. In a unusual instance of political fact-checking of a candidate's statements by physicians themselves, the American Academy of Pediatrics has a tough prescription for Republican Rep. Michelle Bachmann: Get your facts straight on the HPV vaccine.In case you missed it, she sparred with Texas Gov. Rick Perry Monday night over his executive order that would have mandated vaccination of state schoolgirls against human papillomavirus, a cause of cervical cancer."To have innocent little 12-year-old girls be forced to have a government injection through an executive order is just flat-out wrong," Bachmann said. "Little girls who have a potentially dangerous reaction to this drug don't get a mulligan," she said. "You don't get a do-over."Perry defended the decision but conceded that the legal mechanism to reach the goal should have been different.But on the Today show Tuesday morning, Bachmann went further, telling Matt Lauer, that a mother had approached her after the debate to recount the problems her daughter had after being vaccinated against HPV:She told me that her little daughter took that vaccine, that injection. And she suffered from mental retardation thereafter. The mother was crying when she came up to me last night. I didn't know who she was before the debate. This is the very real concern and people have to draw their own conclusions.When Lauer pressed Bachmann on whether she would keep pushing on the issue, she answered that it has traction "with a lot of people and we'll see what people say."Not with kids' doctors it doesn't. In an apparent first for the national pediatricians' group during a political campaign, the AAP called Bachmann out, though it stopped short of doing so by name..." | |

Really? The Claim: Fingers Wrinkle Because of Water Absorption | |
4:53:01 PM, Tuesday, September 13, 2011 | |
"Anyone who has ever been out in the rain too long or soaked for hours in a tub knows the prunelike effect it can have on your hands and feet. Conventional wisdom suggests it is nothing more than the skin absorbing water.But a number of questions have puzzled scientists. Why do "wet wrinkles" appear only on the hands and feet? And why are the most prominent wrinkles at the ends of the digits? Surgeons already know that cutting nerves in a finger prevents the wrinkling, suggesting the process is controlled by the nervous system.Now a paper in the journal Brain, Behavior and Evolution offers more evidence that wet wrinkles serve a purpose. Much like the tread on a tire, they improve traction.In the study, an evolutionary neurobiologist and his co-authors examined 28 fingers wrinkled by water. They found that they all had the same pattern of unconnected channels diverging away from one another as they got more distant from the fingertips.The wrinkles allow water to drain away as fingertips are pressed to wet surfaces, creating more contact and a better grip. Next is a plan to study whether pruney fingers are in fact better at gripping, and whether mammals in wet habitats are more likely to get them. Wet wrinkles have been confirmed only in humans and macaques.THE BOTTOM LINEWet wrinkling may serve a purpose: better grip and traction." | |

Mississippi 'Personhood' Law Could Ban Abortions And Birth Control | |
1:47:52 AM, Tuesday, September 13, 2011 | |
"Mississippi voters will be allowed to decide on a ballot measure that defines "personhood" from the moment of fertilization, the Mississippi Supreme Court ruled last week. The measure could potentially outlaw abortions, birth control, in vitro fertilization and stem cell research across the state.Measure 26, which will bypass the legislature and go straight to a popular ballot vote, redefines the term "person" as it appears throughout Mississippi's Bill of Rights to include "all human beings from the moment of fertilization, cloning or the functional equivalent thereof." The American Civil Liberties Union of Mississippi, Planned Parenthood and the Center for Reproductive Rights filed a lawsuit against the proposal earlier this year, not based on its content or constitutionality, but because Mississippi state law says a ballot initiative cannot be used to change the Bill of Rights.The Mississippi Supreme Court rejected the lawsuit in a 7-2 ruling, saying that it had no power to review any ballot initiative before the actual vote takes place."We didn't lose on the merits of the case, but what's disappointing is that it means the measure does go on the ballot that could later be held unconstitutional," said Alexa Kolbi-Molinas, an ACLU attorney on the case.Les Riley, the founder of Personhood Mississippi, whose primary mission is to get Measure 26 passed, told HuffPost that he believes the ballot initiative is legal and valid because it does not alter the state constitution, but simply defines a particular word in it that should have been defined by the Supreme Court in the 38 years since Roe v. Wade."The court made the right decision," he said. "In the Roe decision, [Justice Henry] Blackmun said, 'We're not gonna answer the question of whether the fetus is a person,' and so in the 38 years since, we have had a tragic number of abortions. We think that God has already told us when life begins, and science has confirmed it, and the court has just not dealt with it, so we're hoping the people of Mississippi make the right decision."Abortion-rights advocates say they worry that the language of the initiative is so broad and vague that its effects could go far beyond outlawing abortion. The measure could be interpreted to outlaw the birth control pill, for instance, because the pill can sometimes prevent the implantation of a fertilized egg. They also say the measure could outlaw in vitro fertilization, stem cell research and emergency contraception for rape victims, as well as discourage doctors from performing a lifesaving miscarriage treatment when a woman is suffering from potentially-fatal pregnancy complications.Kolbi-Molinas said the measure could have unintended consequences that reach beyond reproductive health rights altogether..." | |
-- Sooo if this were to pass, would a pregnant woman be allowed to vote twice? Once for herself and once for the fetus?And shouldn't she then be entitled to receive two lots of social security?

How To See The Closest Supernova In A Generation! | |
9:48:54 PM, Monday, September 12, 2011 | |
"After your death you will be what you were before your birth." -Arthur SchopenhauerIf only every star's death could be as glorious as a supernova, rocketing anywhere from thousands to millions of Earth-masses out of a star and into interstellar space. When we get one in our galaxy, like we do every few hundred years, the view from Earth can be spectacular.The Crab Nebula, above, sprung from a supernova nearly a thousand years ago, in 1054. And while that supernova, and a handful of others since, have been visible from Earth with nothing more than the naked eye, we haven't had that pleasure since 1604. The remnant of that supernova, of course, is still visible today, although it looks no more impressive in visible light than the very end of a fireworks display.While every astronomer would love to have the chance to see a supernova in our own galaxy, these aren't the sorts of things we can control. Instead, we have to be content to see what the Universe gives us to look at. We came close a generation ago, in 1987, when a supernova went off in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy just 160,000 light years away. Under ideally dark skies, the supernova was just barely visible to the unaided eye in the Southern Hemisphere.For a generation since then, we haven't had a supernova occur anywhere near as close as that one. Which is too bad, because our telescope technology and coverage, today, is the greatest it's ever been.But last month, on August 24th, the closest supernova since SN1987a went off in our neighbor galaxy -- the Pinwheel Galaxy -- just 21 million light years away..." | |

Astronomy Picture of the Day: Star Factory Messier 17 | |
9:42:11 PM, Monday, September 12, 2011 | |
-- "Sculpted by stellar winds and radiation, the star factory known as Messier 17 lies some 5,500 light-years away in the nebula-rich constellation Sagittarius. At that distance, this degree wide field of view spans almost 100 light-years, courtesy of the European Southern Observatory's new VLT Survey Telescope and OmegaCAM. The sharp, false color image includes both optical and infrared data, following faint details of the region's gas and dust clouds against a backdrop of central Milky Way stars. Stellar winds and energetic light from hot, massive stars formed from M17's stock of cosmic gas and dust have slowly carved away at the remaining interstellar material producing the cavernous appearance and undulating shapes.

Woman Dies After Injecting Face With Hot Beef Fat | |
9:38:57 PM, Monday, September 12, 2011 | |
"An Illinois woman who injected hot beef fat into her face died Thursday of a bacterial infection soon after she administered the homemade cosmetic surgery. Oddly, doctors say the questionable injections had nothing to do with her death, which was deemed natural by Illinois' Cook County Medical Examiner's Office.Janet Hardt, 63 of Homewood, Ill., boiled beef, extracted the fat and injected it into her face before she went to the hospital complaining that her face felt as if it was burning, according to ABC News' Chicago affiliate WLS-TV.The Chicago Sun-Times reported that Hardt had infections and scarring in her mouth and on her lips, but an autopsy declared her death was a result of peritonitis, an inflammation of the abdomen's inner wall.This bizarre story does not come without lessons, experts say."There are a lot people out there doing self-injections for wrinkles, but I don't know of any medical associations that would recommend this," said Dr. Phillip Haeck, president of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. "It's not worth taking a chance with your face to try to save money when it could ultimately cost you a lot more money."Hardt reportedly injected her face with the beef fat several times, and she also underwent several legitimate plastic surgery procedures. Because she injected herself multiple times with the animal product, Haeck said she was at risk of developing an allergic reaction."One of the injections could cause the skin to erode or ulcerate," said Haeck. "We know that injections of animal proteins do not cause systemwide failure, but it tends to cause local reactions. A lot of people who have allergic reactions to animal proteins will say that their face is burning like this woman did. That's probably what was going on here."" | |

Newly Discovered Planet: Hot, Muggy And (Maybe) Liveable | |
9:30:33 PM, Monday, September 12, 2011 | |
"European astronomers said Monday that they had found what might be the best candidate for a Goldilocks planet yet: a lump of something about 3.6 times as massive as the Earth, circling its star at the right distance for liquid water to exist on its surface — and thus, perhaps, to host life, as we narrowly imagine it.The planet, known as HD 85512b, is about 36 light years from here, in the constellation Vela. It orbits its star at about a quarter of the distance that Earth circles the Sun, taking 58 days to make a year. That distance would put it in the star's so-called habitable zone, if the planet is rocky and has some semblance of an atmosphere — "if everything goes right and you have clouds to shelter you," as Lisa Kaltenegger of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg, Germany, summarized it.Astronomers cautioned, however, that it would take years and observations from telescopes not yet built before those assumptions could be tested and a search for signs of life could be undertaken.Neither humans nor their robot helpers are likely to be dispatched toward Vela anytime soon. But the finding did vault HD 85512b to the top of a list of the handful of Goldilocks candidates.The Vela planet was part of a haul of more than 50 new exoplanets — as planets around other stars are called — discussed in a news conference on Monday hosted by the European Southern Observatory. They are the newest fruits of an eight-year observing program by astronomers based at the University of Geneva and led by Stephane Udry and Michel Mayor, working from a telescope at the European Southern Observatory in Chile. About 16 of them are so-called super-Earths, with masses less than 10 times the Earth, further encouraging astronomers that they are on the verge of finding planets like ours. A pair of papers — one with Dr. Mayor as lead author and the other with Francesco Pepe, also of Geneva, as lead author — have been submitted to Astronomy and Astrophysics, describing the planets.The Geneva astronomers used a sensitive spectrograph known as Harps (an acronym for High Accuracy Radial velocity Planet Searcher) to detect wobble in the stars' motions as planets swung around them. The wobble technique, however, only reveals the masses of exoplanets. Without further information like the size — which NASA's Kepler satellite, also in the exoplanet business, measures by seeing the shadows of planets as they cross in front of their stars — or the composition, the astronomers cannot say for sure whether the Vela planet is made of rock, steam, iron, diamonds or something else. Nor can they tell what, if any, atmosphere it has. Kepler will be of no help because its gaze is fixed on a different swath of sky.The star that the Vela planet circles is known as HD 85512, or Gliese 370, after Wilhelm Gliese, a German astronomer. The star is orange, about two-thirds as massive and about an eighth as luminous as our Sun..." | |

No Truce Expected In Global Patent Wars | |
7:15:32 PM, Monday, September 12, 2011 | |
"Patent reform legislation passed by the US Congress may represent the most sweeping changes to the law in decades but the bill is not expected to end the courtroom wrangling between technology giants."My feeling is that it won't change the dynamics much of the ongoing patent wars," said Roger Kay of Endpoint Technologies Associates. "The problem is with patents in general, in that there's way too much patenting and people patent any old thing including how to toast bread."Ed Black, president and chief executive of the Computer & Communications Industry Association (CCIA), said the bill, the America Invents Act, "doesn't effectively address the real serious problems of our patent system."The bill tinkers in various ways -- some things are good, some things are bad -- but it's not a gamechanger," Black said, agreeing with Kay that the main problem is "too many patents issued that are simply not high-quality patents."Black noted that the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) announced recently that it has issued its eight millionth patent."Most people think of patents as being like Edison and the light bulb," he said. "Tell me we've had eight million game-changing ideas."The Senate passed the America Invents Act on Thursday by an 89-9 vote. It cleared the House of Representatives earlier this year by a similarly lopsided 304-117 margin.Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy, a key author of the legislation, said the bill will "ensure that inventors large and small maintain the competitive edge that has put America at the pinnacle of global innovation."The legislation notably shifts the granting of US patents from a "first to invent" system, which left considerable leeway for interpretation, to a "first to file" basis and seeks to reduce a backlog of 750,000 applications..." | |

Fish Living In Dark Caves Still Feel The Rhythm Of Life | |
10:25:49 PM, Sunday, September 11, 2011 | |
"A blind, cave-dwelling fish in Somalia knows what time it is, but its "day" is twice as long as ours.Most animals have an internal body clock, or circadian rhythm, that lasts around 24 hours and is modified by the light-dark cycle of a day.But an international team, whose research is published in the open access journal PloS Biology, shows that certain blind cave fish have a circadian rhythm that lasts almost two days.The cavefish, Phreatichthys andruzzii, has evolved for nearly two million years in the isolated darkness of caves beneath the Somali desert.Professor Nick Foulkes, of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany, said that this particular species was chosen "because it was such an extreme example, having been isolated from a day-night cycle for so long".In the course of its evolution it has lost its eyes, colouration and scales, having no need for them in the pitch-black of an underground cave system.But it appears that the absence of day and night has caused a much more profound change in the fish's life rhythm..." | |

Glowing Cats Help In Fight Against AIDS, Other Diseases | |
7:13:49 PM, Sunday, September 11, 2011 | |
"Mayo Clinic researchers have developed a genome-based immunization strategy to fight feline AIDS and illuminate ways to combat human HIV/AIDS and other diseases. The goal is to create cats with intrinsic immunity to the feline AIDS virus. The findings -- called fascinating and landmark by one reviewer -- appear in the current online issue of Nature Methods.Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) causes AIDS in cats as the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) does in people: by depleting the body's infection-fighting T-cells. The feline and human versions of key proteins that potently defend mammals against virus invasion -- termed restriction factors -- are ineffective against FIV and HIV respectively. The Mayo team of physicians, virologists, veterinarians and gene therapy researchers, along with collaborators in Japan, sought to mimic the way evolution normally gives rise over vast time spans to protective protein versions. They devised a way to insert effective monkey versions of them into the cat genome."One of the best things about this biomedical research is that it is aimed at benefiting both human and feline health," says Eric Poeschla, M.D., Mayo molecular biologist and leader of the international study. "It can help cats as much as people."Dr. Poeschla treats patients with HIV and researches how the virus replicates. HIV/AIDS has killed over 30 million people and left countless children orphaned, with no effective vaccine on the horizon. Less well known is that millions of cats also suffer and die from FIV/AIDS each year. Since the project concerns ways introduced genes can protect species against viruses, the knowledge and technology it produces might eventually assist conservation of wild feline species, all 36 of which are endangered.The technique is called gamete-targeted lentiviral transgenesis -- essentially, inserting genes into feline oocytes (eggs) before sperm fertilization. Succeeding with it for the first time in a carnivore, the team inserted a gene for a rhesus macaque restriction factor known to block cell infection by FIV, as well as a jellyfish gene for tracking purposes. The latter makes the offspring cats glow green..." | |

Norton I: The First and Only Emperor of the United States | |
5:24:34 PM, Saturday, September 10, 2011 | |
"From its adoption into the United States in 1850 up until the present day, California has always been a place where eccentricity is accepted, if not welcomed with open arms. Anyone who's ever spent much time in West Hollywood or San Francisco can attest to that. Today, we're going to take a look at one of California's most notorious yet well-loved eccentrics.He was a self-proclaimed aristocrat, even going so far as to declare himself Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico, indulging in the sort of monarchy nonsense that the country had spilled blood over less than a hundred years before. Yet in spite of it, when this Emperor finally died in 1880, almost thirty thousand people jammed the streets of San Francisco to attend his funeral. And in 1880, thirty thousand people represented over ten percent of the city's population.Exactly when Joshua Abraham Norton was born is a subject of some dispute. Various records and testimonies place his year of birth anywhere between 1814 and 1819, and his obituary cited his age as "about sixty-five." Regardless of when he was born, it is known that Norton was born in London but spent most of his early life in South Africa.Like many men in his time, Norton packed up and traveled to San Francisco in 1849. He financed the move with an inheritance of $40,000 from his father, and within a few years had managed to accumulate a tidy sum in the California real estate market.Also like many men in his time, an ill-fated investment ate the lion's share of Norton's fortune. It wasn't the gold rush that got him, nor his dabbling in real estate, but a gamble on a shipment of Peruvian rice, of all things. Since China had banned the export of rice due to famine, Norton figured that he could purchase a shipment of rice from Peru and sell it to Californians at an exorbitant cost. Unfortunately, by the time his shipment actually arrived, several other Peruvian ships had as well, and the price of rice dropped from thirty-six to three cents per pound. Norton fought hard to hold on to his property if nothing else, but his bank foreclosed on his holdings in order to cover the enormous rice debt..." | |

KUALA LUMPUR, July 14 — Thousands of plantation settlers, dressed in eye-catching orange T-shirts, flooded the city today and blocked off part of Jalan Duta as they marched to express their unhappiness over the government's listing of Felda Gloval Ventures Holding (FGVH) last month.
The marchers, estimated to be 2,000-strong and growing, are part of an umbrella group called Gerakan Selamatkan Felda, which includes various non-governmental organisations (NGOs).
The movement was recently formed by those who believe the government market listing will short-change some 112,000 Felda settlers nationwide, a group that is seen to be an important vote bank for the ruling Barisan Nasional coalition.
Today's march will culminate with the delivery of a memorandum to a palace official seeking for the intervention of the Yang diPertuan Agong.
Heading the marchers this afternoon was PAS deputy president Mohamad Sabu who, will riding on the back of a truck, roused the crowd with chants of "Bebas peneroka (Free the settlers)", "Pecat Isa Samad (Sack Isa Samad)", and "Hancur Najib (Crush Najib)".
Tan Sri Isa Samad is the chairman of the Federal Land Development Authority (Felda).
The mostly Malay-Muslim crowd pushed off from the Jalan Duta Court Complex at about 2pm today, after saying their prayers at the Federal Territory mosque across the road.
The protest march, which has resulted in the closure of several roads into the city, has stayed peaceful, with PAS's Unit Amal (volunteer unit) in their signature maroon-coloured T-shirts seen helping the police with crowd control.
The rally is taking place despite the hitherto successful showing by FGVH in the Bursa Malaysia.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak had also given his assurance that the listing would yield profits, and earlier announced a RM1.69-billion "windfall" for all settlers throughout the country ahead of the FGVH listing.
The shares of FGVH, the world's second largest initial public offering (IPO) this year reportedly continued to remain above its IPO price more than two weeks after its listing.
FGVH had soared 20 per cent above its debut price of RM5.30 when it listed on June 28.
Brokers have said, however, that FGVH is likely benefitting from the interest of large institutional funds who expect the plantation giant to become a component of the benchmark FBM KLCI index, along with restrictions against cornerstone buyers disposing their lots within six months of the listing.

Business Ethics And Corporate Responsibility - A New Perspective
Source: Munich Personal Repec Archive
Starting from the famous but controversial statement of Peter Drucker (1981) - "There is neither a separate ethics of business nor is one needed", this paper goes on to argue that business ethics and social responsibility are not unrelated. It shows how it is necessary to distinguish between business philosophy and philosophy of business. Through this distinction it develops a framework that relates the two - business ethics and CSR. It goes on to argue that there is a paradigm shift in the philosophy of business. This shift leads to a framework wherein a new perspective on business ethics and social responsibility emerges.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/journali...chosen-few-who-are-a-force-like-no-other.html There was a global intake of breath last month, when an SAS mission to make contact with the Libyan rebels unravelled in humiliating fashion. The fact that the world's most fabled Special Forces unit was brought low by a group of farmers was, according to one former commander, like Lewis Hamilton going out of the British Grand Prix on the first lap. Since the pre-eminent skills of the Special Air Service first came to the world's attention on the balconies of the Iranian embassy 31 years ago, the regiment has been transformed from a little-known ace up the military's sleeve to the superstar of the Special Forces world, home to soldiers of supreme guile and ruthlessness. "Many are called, but few are chosen" is a phrase often quoted during SAS selection – some solace for the 90 per cent who fail to get through. The six-month process is regarded as the most arduous in the world: candidates undertake a month of running over the Welsh mountains with 50lb loads, culminating in the 40-mile Endurance march, then spend weeks in the jungle, suffering dehydration and deprivation, followed by another course in escape and evasion, culminating in tests of resistance to interrogation. This produces men who do not understand the concept of defeat, who defy taking "no" for an answer, and who have built an enviable reputation for their country. For America, the SAS and their colleagues in the Special Boat Service are one of the two great strategic assets we have to offer, alongside our nuclear deterrent. The first words that come from the mouths of US generals visiting Britain – such as David Petraeus and Stanley McChrystal, both from Special Forces backgrounds – are of praise for the SAS. They saw the effect that a few score troopers had in Baghdad during the darkest days. It was the SAS who took the fight to the enemy, who "neutralised" al-Qaeda operatives, Sunni insurgents and Shia militias with ruthless efficiency. In the past year, the SAS has worked its way through the Taliban high command, taking out its members on an "industrial scale". No surprise, then, that there was some choice debate in SAS circles when David Cameron, in his early days at No 10, allowed a US SEAL team to rescue Linda Norgrove, a Scottish aid worker kidnapped by the Taliban. It ended disastrously, after she was killed by a hand grenade thrown by one of the US troops. The commando in question had form for such antics – which, had he been in the SAS, would already have led to instant dismissal. Recently, the Coalition has come to appreciate the SAS's qualities: the defence review significantly increased Special Forces funding, to somewhere between £2 billion and £3 billion – almost a tenth of the MoD budget. Yet at the same time, finding the right personnel is becoming increasingly difficult. As we reported yesterday, a letter from the Director of Infantry has bemoaned a shortfall in the number of recruits coming through. This recruiting crisis is in part down to the fact that young men eager for combat find their thirst slaked by a tour of Helmand, in which they will engage in far more firefights than their SAS colleagues. "I don't need to go back," one told me. "I've had my Hemingway moments." Another asked: "Why do six months of selection hell, when you get all the fighting you want in one tour?" However, the work of the SAS is of a different order entirely. It produces outstanding leaders: six out of the Army's 36 infantry battalions are commanded by Hereford men. Yet it is probably the most democratic military unit in existence. Most decisions are taken after a "Chinese parliament", in which every trooper has his say. Officers have refused orders if they think them unsafe, as one did when told to storm an airfield on the Argentine mainland during the Falklands War. The service also attracts the eccentric. One squadron invited an artist (and former Para) to Baghdad to paint an assault on a house containing an al-Qaeda operative. The resulting canvas is now said to hang in the officers' mess in Hereford. And, in the week of the royal wedding, it's pertinent to recount how two SAS soldiers changed the fate of a nation. Within hours of Prince William's mother being married, one unfortunate attendee – Sir Dawda Jawadra, the president of Gambia – found himself out of office after rebels staged a coup in his absence. Two SAS men were sent out, picked up weapons in Senegal, then proceeded, with the help of some Senagalese paratroopers, to retake the airport and the radio station, secure the capital, rescue the president's wife, and restore order in time for Sir Dawdra's triumphant arrival. Light forces that can operate with such gumption behind enemy lines are one of Britain's most valuable military assets. They are also something we should do everything we can to hold on to.
Too fucking right, according to the article.... 1. The SAS lads are single handedly taking down AQ 2. Two of the lads halted the overthrow of a country 3. SEAL's apparently allow people to operate within their teams who have a history of killing journalists with grenades. Whoever wrote the above article, is a complete fucking moron and takes the definition of journalism, turns it on it's head, pisses on it and makes it go on a 3 day bender with Joey Fritzl.
The British press LOVE the SAS though- like, "the Press and the SAS up a tree..." kind of loving. Someone from the SAS could tell them that they lift 6000kg weights and run 500 miles before killing 10 terrorists (and this is only before breakfast) and they'll believe it.
Shit talking much? We hear a lot about the SAS, and not a whole lot about the SBS and the role they played in Afghanistan before most everyone else was there. PS This is wannabe civilian talk- I know none of this from first hand knowledge! Nor am I talking shit about the SAS- but the guy who wrote this.
Sometimes I wonder why we're even worked up over "news" like this. Journalists rarely report about SOF in a truthful manner. Part of that is due to the nature of SOF and part of it is the love of gossip and rumor in a tabloid. "If it bleeds, it leads" and some version "OMG, did you hear about LiLo?" apply to any topic. The people who want to know about SOF will sort out the wheat from the chaff (except for the eternal wannabes and l33t airsofters who bicker and fight over the details on websites I won't name) and those who only view it in passing will forget most of the story in the time it takes to make toast in the morning. Sure, they may wind up repeating the nonsense, but to who? Another person who hasn't a clue about SOF and never will? The public will always have a Guns of Navarrone/ Rambo/ Navy SEALs with Charlie Sheen view of SOF and no article will change that, especially for someone who has never worn a uniform.
Most of what the press write about the SAS is crap! I know firsthand. For example, when Ran Fiennes, my old squadron commander wrote the Feathermen, the Press took it as gospel. I read an account in Private Eye of SAS torture techniques where we could extract somebody's intestines! Crap! All crap and exaggeration. As those who served know, most ops have Mr. Cockup very close behind. All this supermen stuff is bollocks!
This is complete bullshit. The SAS was an important, but VERY small part of the overall SOF footprint in Iraq. It would have been more accurate, and would have done the SAS no disservice, to have stated, "The SAS helped take the fight to the enemy, working as part of the American-led SOF Task Force to neutralize... etc." And by the way, everyone in Afghanistan is working their way through the Taliban on "an industrial scale," the problem is they keep coming. And besides, the strategic-level enemy, upon which national SOF should be focused, are the Haqqani Network and foreign fighters (and the ISI, but they're synonymous with the first two groups I mentioned). All in all, I give this article a big
The Press took it as gospel because his publisher made statements to the fact that the book was based on real events. And in all the years since old Ranulph has remained coy and cagey when asked directly if the story is true or not. When the recent movie: The Killer Elite (Title nicked from Robert Rostand's novel and Sam Peckinpah's movie) based on Ranulph's book The Feathermen was released it started the 'fact or fiction' questions again, and again Ranulph was very cagey with his answers. Don't get me wrong, I think Ranulph is one tough dude, and like the SAS men of old, a bit of an eccentric in some respects. It would just be nice if he finally admitted The Feathermen was a complete work of fiction.

Brain & Memory Function
The human brain is the most complex structure known to man; much of how it functions and enables us to think, feel, contemplate abstract concepts, plan our future, and control many bodily processes is yet to be discovered. The function of the brain and nervous system is based on the unique structure of nerve cells (also called neurons), which take in and send out messages in the form of electrical impulses running through the phospholipids and minerals of the cell membranes. Although it is only two percent of our body weight, the brain consumes 20 percent of our energy. Neurotransmitters, brain chemicals that pass messages from one neuron to another, must be produced in adequate quantities to support mood, intelligence, concentration, assertiveness and calmness. This creates a tremendous need for nutritional fuel and energy. Brain functioning can be significantly improved by the right quantity and quality of nutrients.

Plans to condemn Southern Baptist church proceed after 6-0 vote for eminent domain

What is the first book in the Bible?
* = Required Fields
LONG BEACH, Calif. (BP)--Another step was taken toward the destruction of the Filipino Baptist Fellowship building March 13 when the Long Beach Redevelopment Agency Board voted 6-0 to condemn the church in order to build condominiums, despite testimonies from community members regarding the public good that flows from the religious institution.
I had no illusions that we were going to stop the vote, but what was most discouraging yesterday was the utter lack of any evidence on why this was necessary to cure some blighted areas blocks away, John Eastman, director of The Claremont Institutes Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence who is defending the church, told Baptist Press. They didnt bother to answer that. That was their legal obligation, and they went ahead and condemned a church anyway.
During the hearing, the redevelopment agency voted to authorize the city attorney to begin condemnation proceedings, Eastman explained. The next step will be for the city attorney to file a complaint to condemn the property, which includes demonstrating that it meets the statutory requirements for condemnation.
Among the requirements is proof that the property seizure is necessary for public use -- based on the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in June 2005 regarding eminent domain -- and Eastman said that proof would be rather easy to show since a church is tax-exempt and a housing project would bring in more revenue for the city.
The decision could be challenged in court, and Eastman said he believes city leaders are nervous about the prospects of litigation over the issue.
They immediately came up to me after the hearing and wanted to have a negotiation meeting, Eastman said. I think theyre going to try to offer a very lucrative financing package that would allow the pastor and his congregation to move to another site in town.
Even so, a financing package does not cure their constitutional defects in taking the property, Eastman noted.
A Long Beach Press Telegram article March 14 quoted the redevelopment agencys bureau manager as saying the city is offering to pay the church nearly four times as much as the church paid for the property back in 2002. But Eastman disagreed.
Her math is a little bit off. The city last week came up to $800,000 and change. Before that theyd been offering $540,000, which was only double what they paid for it, he said. Its because the whole area has increased so much in value, proving its not blighted, by the way. But the ability to buy a replacement property has also skyrocketed in the meantime. So whatever theyre being offered, its less than half of what comparable facilities are going to cost. They dont have the ability to pay for that.
Eastman said the Press Telegram also reported that the city has offered the church 13 other properties as possible relocation sites.
Well, let me tell you about the properties theyve offered. Most of them were vacant lots, he told BP. Its a little hard to hold a church service in a vacant lot. Several of them were leases, not buildings to own. [The church members] own this one, and they want to have a church that they own so theyre not at the whim of a landlord.
So you take all those off the table. Almost all of the others were in other parts of the redevelopment area, where they could be forced to move out a couple of years down the road when the city gets around to developing that block, he added. I think the pastors wife, Jovina, said on the news Sunday night, Were not gypsies.
During the hearing, the assistant director of the redevelopment agency said they would guarantee the church would not be relocated again.
But she doesnt have the authority to do that, Eastman said. If the city wants to amend their redevelopment plan to exclude the new property from the zone, then thats a possibility. But that was the first time that was put on the table.
Some of the alternative sites the city offered the church included a bar and two gas stations. Most of the properties had no parking or less parking than the church has at its current location, and there was no guarantee that the city would give the church a conditional use permit without ensuring the parking was up to code, Eastman said.
None of these were suitable alternatives because they wouldnt have been able to have their church, he said. Giving you 13 different addresses doesnt mean theyve given you 13 different suitable alternatives.
Filipino Baptist Fellowship began nearly 20 years ago, Eastman said, and they met wherever other churches would let them borrow space for most of that time. Finally, in 2002, they gathered enough money to purchase a building of their own -- their current location. But just as they were closing on the deal, the city put the building in a redevelopment zone.
They wanted to know what that meant, so they met with the city and the city said, Its possible that you will be asked to relocate, but we wont ask you to do that unless weve found you another place where you can have your church, Eastman said. So they got that in writing, and then after a couple of years of giving these vacant-lot alternatives, the city said, Well, weve tried. Were not going to help anymore. Were just going to go ahead and condemn your church. And thats where we are now.
Eastman said he believes the legal arguments the church has on its side are strong, especially given that in 2002 a U.S. district court ruled on a similar Southern California case, Cottonwood Christian Center v. City of Cypress, saying that the church was protected from eminent domain based on the First and Fifth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution as well as under the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000.
Preventing a church from building a worship site fundamentally inhibits its ability to practice its religion, Judge David O. Carter wrote in the decision. Churches are central to the religious exercise of most religions. If Cottonwood could not build a church, it could not exist.
Eastman said one thing that became manifestly clear during the proceedings March 13 is that the city does not consider churches important to revitalization projects.
Theyre taking this church out and there is no provision for churches anywhere in the redevelopment project, he said. They think they can revitalize gang areas by kicking out the churches? It just makes no sense.
One of the people that testified yesterday said, You know, you take a rundown house and you knock it down and you put a nicer house in and you put the same people in it. Unless theyve got some churches, theyre still going to be gang members, he added.
While the church waits to see what further negotiations with the city will yield, Pastor Roem Agustine told Baptist Press he is hopeful about the future.
We are more united than ever and more focused in our prayers to the Lord, he said of the congregation.
In some ways, they are heartbroken, he said, but in other ways, theyre not.
We know that the Lord will not leave us, and we just dont know what it is that the Lord has laid out before us. But its there and we know its there. We continue with our prayers and our hopes up, trusting Him. I thank you for your prayers now, Agustine said.

LANSING -- Update: June 10th, 10:30 a.m.
According to The Denver Post, the Colorado city banned Pit Bulls in 2005. The ban was originally proposed in 1986 after a child was attacked by a dog. It took decades before the city council finally passed the law. Since then, many in the community have attemted to stop the ban.
Update: June 9th, 2:45 p.m.
NBC25 has just learned that House Regulatory Reform Committee, Rep. Hugh Crawford, has just stopped this measure for now.
Representative Crawford told NBC25 "As the Chairman of the Regulatory Reform Committee I do not plan on taking up this legislation at this time."
Are you glad that the ban was stopped, or do you think it would have protected people from attacks? Leave us your comments below.
A bill introduced in Lansing this week could ban Pit Bulls.
If passed, then the following would be enforced:
In the first year, Pit Bulls would be banned from entering the state.
In the first four years, all current Pit Bull owners would be forced to sterilize their pet.
Finally, after ten years of the law being place, then the so-called "dangerous dog" would be completely outlawed.
If a Pit Bull owner refused to follow the guidelines in time, then they could face up to 93 days in jail, $500 to $2,000 in fines, and community service.
The measure was introduced on June 7th by State Rep. Tim Bledsoe. You can read the full bill by clicking here.
How do you feel about this law? Leave us your comments!
