Is that an aerial protest on the flight path over Lord's? The Wrong One – No to Ashley Giles! After what must be the worst job application in the history of cricket, perhaps there is no need to ape the anti-David Moyes lobby at Manchester United with a pop at Giles before the interviews to appoint a new head coach.
Wasn't this supposed to be the post-KP age, the end of bad attitude, England reformed into a fighting unit forged by common purpose and desire? There was nil sign of a new dawn in Chittagong. KP's sacking is looking more like a reprieve after the defeat to the Netherlands, a team propped up by jobbing Australians who only qualified courtesy of a mother from Dutch New Guinea.
Maybe that's where England have been going wrong, plundering the wrong colony. South Africa was never the option after all. In fairness, any side is entitled to a bad game. And it was a dead rubber. England have lost to the Dutch before, but not like this.
And, after a sequence in which the team fell apart in all forms of the game during an appalling winter in Australia, this wretched defeat points to a greater failing at the top of the administration. In the space of six months, England have disintegrated from Ashes winners to a rudderless rabble, before the head coach stepped down without answering for the mess over which he had presided.
The team's best batsman is exiled; the pre-eminent spinner, Graeme Swann, quit mid-Ashes; the pivotal No 3 batsman, Jonathan Trott, returned home with a debilitating mental condition that turned out to be nothing more pernicious than poor form; and the "world's best" wicketkeeper, Matt Prior, fell apart at the crease. And now this.
Today, the domestic season opens with a series of gentle warm-up fixtures between counties and the universities. On Sunday, the County Championship begins, ordinarily triggering a sense of renewal. Instead, it feels like English cricket is in the grip of a terrible blight, compounded by a ring of silence on the subject imposed from above.
Test captain Alastair Cook is one of many England players scheduled to speak today ahead of the new county season but a discussion about the state of the national team will form no part of the conversation. The ban extends to all England players. And it's not an April Fool's jape. The ECB has turned into Putin's Russia without the territorial gains.
What could they say that would make matters worse? It barely seems possible that England came into the World Twenty20 tournament having won the thing in 2010. That success proved a rare blip in an otherwise lamentable England record in limited-overs cricket. The country that gave the shortened form of the game to the world more than 40 years ago has shown itself yet again to be way behind the prevailing orthodoxy, with no obvious plan of how to attack a score or defend one. That is a coaching failure as much as anything else. And to think the Dutch lost the toss.Reuse content

DHEA Supplement Linked to Heart Disease
Popular 'Anti-Aging' Supplements May Actually Contribute to Clogged ArteriesDec 3, 2003 | WEBMD DHEA supplements that are touted to protect against heart disease may actually contribute to it by promoting the formation of fatty plaques in arteries, say researchers.
This finding, published in the latest issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, comes after Australian scientists exposed human cells to DHEA levels typical of over-the-counter supplements. They discovered the cells reacted in a way that's similar to initial signs of heart disease, says lead researcher Martin K.C. Ng, MD, FRACP.
A critical event in the development of heart disease is the accumulation of cholesterol in cells called macrophages, he tells WebMD. "We found that DHEA increases this critical process of cholesterol accumulation in macrophages -- an event which may produce coronary disease."
Meanwhile, other cells not exposed to DHEA experienced no such changes.
DHEA, or dehydroepiandrosterone, is a hormone naturally made by the adrenal glands and is converted to other steroid hormones such as estrogen and testosterone. Because levels begin to wane after age 30 when risk of age-related health problems such as heart disease increase over-the-counter DHEA capsules and creams have been marketed to combat heart disease and other age-related conditions, including Alzheimer's disease.
In April, another team of researchers reported in Neurology that DHEA supplements did not improve memory or reduce Alzheimer's severity after six months of treatment.
Another recent study, published in July and involving only 24 Japanese men, suggests that small supplemental doses of DHEA could improve insulin sensitivity and blood vessel function two factors that contribute to the development of heart disease. But Ng calls such evidence "indirect" and points to other research that indicates boosting DHEA levels promotes heart disease, rather than prevents it.
DHEA supplements, in fact, were banned by the FDA in 1985 due to their unproven safety and effectiveness. But that ban ended with the adoption of the 1994 Dietary Supplement Health & Education Act, and the following year, the supplements became available again.
"We are concerned that people are taking DHEA supplements in the absence of adequate safety data," says Ng, a cardiologist at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and Heart Institute in Sydney. "While this study is a lab result, it does suggest that caution should be taken in the unsupervised self-administration of the hormone."
Because Ng's study was performed in laboratory cell cultures and not actual patients it doesn't address what could happen when the human body converts DHEA into testosterone or estrogen, says cardiologist Sam Tsimikas, MD, of the University of California, San Diego, who was not involved in the research.
Still, Tsimikas also urges against using DHEA supplements until more research is done. "This (finding) adds to the growing evidence that anabolic steroids, or precursors thereof, such as DHEA, may have detrimental effects on cardiovascular health," he says in a prepared statement. "With data showing that approximately one out of two Americans will eventually die of cardiovascular disease, this information has major health implications."

Do the Worst Thing on Your To-Do List First -- Science of Us
Eric Barker stashed this in Diabolical Plans For World Domination
Stashed in: @bakadesuyo, Awesome, Willpower!, Rituals
Barker is drawing here from the scientific literature on self-control, the bulk of which has suggested that willpower is a limited resource, something that becomes depleted as the day wears on. It's similar to the reason that behavioral scientist Dan Ariely has suggested that the first two hours of your day are likely to be your most productive. Your self-control is at its peak first thing in the morning, so this is the best time to make yourself do the stuff you really would rather not do. "The longer people have been awake, the more self-control problems happen," Roy F. Baumeister, a psychology researcher at Florida State University and one of the leading experts on willpower, tells Barker. "Most things go bad in the evening. Diets are broken at the evening snack, not at breakfast or in the middle of the morning. Impulsive crimes are mostly committed after midnight."
As Barker phrases it, "What's that thing you're going to feel guilty about having not done?" Identify that and do it first, in the fleeting moments when you still have the willpower with which to get it done.
It's a great idea, but it assumes:
1) that you're organized enough to have a to-do list, or some other prioritization of things to do, and
2) that you're both self aware enough, and brave enough, to own up to the most difficult things you need to do
Fir some people, some days, these things are just aspirations

In a press conference following her eviction last night, Ife was asked by journalists what she thinks of each of the housemates, and she was far from complimentary about John James and Josie.
Ife firstly said that she didn't believe their will-they-won't-they romance was "genuine", and added that on the outside, John wouldn't "look twice" at Josie.
She added, "Because it is Big Brother, he wants everyone to think that just because he's good looking, doesn't mean he won't go for someone like her.
"If Josie was a size 6, big boobs and absolutely beautiful, he wouldn't go for her in the house.
"He's playing a game, thinking 'who will the public like, what will the public think of me, they probably think I'm an arrogant tw*t'.
"So he's looked for the biggest girl, the one who isn't magazine conventional pretty, because then the public will think he's a nice person…
"He comes across like, 'I don't care', but he's watched more Big Brother than I have.
"He's very conscious of how he comes across and, to be honest, he's just as thick as Josie is."
And when asked what she thought of Josie, Ife said, "I don't understand why everyone loves Josie.
"But I suppose that's the thing with the British public, they always love the underdog.
"She's not bright. And she tells everyone she's not bright all the time, which is quite a stupid thing to say.
"I don't think the public should be 100% behind someone because they're proud of being unintelligent.
"In life we should try to be the best we can be. Why should being unintelligent be a good thing?
"I don't think she's intelligent enough to remember the start of a conversation when you get to the end.
"She's a lovely girl, but she's not someone to have a heart-to-heart with. She's edging on the 'poor me, poor me' card."
Wow! What do you think of Ife's comments?

Well located, cheap and cheerful
19 Jalan Danau Tamblingan, Sanur T: (0361) 289 902
We're reluctant to share Little Pond Homestay in case it's full next time we head to Sanur: It's our go-to budget spot. The excellent location is about one minute from Jalan Danau Tamblingan, Sanur's main drag; five minutes' from the beach (via a shortcut) and less to Pasar Sindu night market.
Set back behind the shops in a quiet corner, it offers a mix of fan-cooled or air-con rooms facing a shady garden and lap pool, the "little pond" of its name. Tiled rooms are basic, bright and clean. They're a bit worn at the edges, however beds are extremely comfy and showers are strong and hot. Bed linen is thin to the point of almost see though, but clean. Some rooms have bedside tables and lamps and others provide a small desk. Cable TV only comes with the higher priced rooms. You also have a choice of twin or double beds. A wardrobe and small safe keep your possessions safeguarded. Clean ensuite bathrooms are all hot-water: we are a fan of a ceiling fan, but also like a hot shower, and it's often difficult to find the combo. Towel racks, hooks and a small shelf do the trick when it comes to bathrooms storage, however the mirror is tiny.
Furnished verandas are divided every two rooms, and house chairs, a small table and drying rack; some have beanbags, a perfect spot for a cold Bintang (available from the fridge in reception) and chatting with other guests, many of whom are regulars. Carved and painted Balinese wooden characters guard your room entrance and add a bit of local flavour.
The pool is clean and not at all like a slimy pond, however it's narrow, and you wouldn't want too many swimmers in it at the one time. Fallen frangipani flowers from overhead trees add fragrant tropical delights. Two shaded sun lounges are available for the first up. Be careful on the mossy slippery paths, or you may end up having a swim unintentionally.
WiFi is included, but can be a bit slow or non-existent in the rooms further from reception. Breakfast is not included in the rate, but a discounted breakfast is on offer at the lovely beachside Beach Cafe. If you've come with your own transport, off-street parking is available too. Staff are very friendly and efficient if there's a problem, but your room won't be serviced daily unless you request it.
We think Little Pond Homestay offers excellent value and so do many others, so it's wise to book well in advance. Little Pond is a good choice for travellers who like a quieter, but friendly place; it's not for party types or loud kids (unless you book the whole place out). If Little Pond is full, Agung and Sue Watering Hole II at the other end of Sanur offers good value older-style rooms, or for smart modern digs, D'Astri Guesthouse or slightly pricier Semarandanaare good options.

There was a pile of materials on my office floor–recycled paper notebooks and recycled newspaper pencils sent to me by eco friendly office supplies and kids stationery company O'BON in hopes of getting a review on this website. I hadn't quite decided what to write.
Then, a beautiful little seven year old girl with an artistic bent who frequently visits our home startled me as she burst into the room and made a beeline for the lively colored notebooks and pencils. Her artist's eye was immediately attracted to the bright colors and sharp designs on the stationery. What followed was a long discussion about what "eco friendly" means, and showing her what great things we can make from recycled stuff that people throw away. We even touched on things like deforestation, and how things like these materials helped stop that from happening. As she made me promise that she would own the pencils and notebooks after I was done with them, I reflected on the enviro-lesson we just shared and how O'BON made that happen.
O'BON is a company that seeks to take common school or office items and turn them into something exciting, special and different–something that makes a loud statement about the environment. They succeed with their richly colored notebooks and pencils made from recycled newspapers and other environmentally friendly materials.
O'BON's recycled newspaper pencils are made possible by a revolutionary process that allows rolling a used sheet of newspaper around a stick of graphite to make pencils at least as good as the environmentally destructive wood pencils all too common today. The eco friendliness of the pencils speak for themselves in their use of recycled materials, and they have the added benefit of being sturdier than their wood counterparts by better protecting the pencil's graphite against things like dropping (making these pencils last up to three times longer than regular ones). But in addition to all of that, O'BON has partnered with sister company Evoke to render beautiful colors and designs on the pencils themselves. One set I received features the beautiful feather colors you'll find on a parrot. Another set of pencils are decorated with a kaleidoscope of colors sure to delight any kid or artistic-minded adult.
O'BON's notebooks and binders feature very brightly colored fruit like kiwis and cherries. (The kiwi notebook's cover is especially cool, as it offers a rougher feel where the kiwis are displayed open compared to the rest of the cover). O'BON hopes that such vivid depictions of fruit will not only encourage respecting the environment, but also healthier eating among the kids who use the notebooks. (One can always hope!)
Notebook paper is made entirely from Bagasse, the substance left over after sugarcane plants are drained of their juice for other purposes. The left over pulp and fiber has great qualities and can be used to make anything from paper to plastic utensils to boxes, minimizing the use of plastic and wood for making these products. Sugar cane grows like a weed and doesn't need lots of fertilizer or water, making it a great sustainable crop for these kinds of products. Each notebook comes with an attached note or writing in the back explaining the use of sugarcane paper and why stopping deforestation is so important, providing an important "education moment" for anyone using them for the first time.
The ink and glue used in notebooks and binders are non-toxic and water-based. Not only does that protect the environment when made or disposed of, but you can also rest assured that they are safe to use.
If you are looking for eco friendly office supplies, or school and art supplies for kids, you can't go wrong with these gorgeous and eco friendly stationery products. Not only do they please the eye with their gorgeous designs, they also create a new market for recycled products and provide a mini-education about environmentalism.
The little girl I mentioned will be picking up the kids stationery I received and taking it to school the next time I see her. But when she made me promise to give them to her I asked for a promise in return: that she would tell every curious kid who asks about the pencils and notebooks about how (and why) they are made from recycled newspapers and leftover sugarcane. She agreed.
And that's how word about the environment passes on.
(Note: as per new FTC guidelines, I received materials from the featured company for the purposes of writing a review. I have received and will receive no other compensation for writing this article.)

The human body is a fragile thing, so until we develop regenerating limbs
and fully bionic organs, we're largely stuck with the one we've got. Which
is why Jason Padgett's story is so remarkable: Ten years ago Padgett sustained significant brain damage during a mugging—as a result, he acquired mathematical synesthesia, the savantlike power to perceive and understand complex algorithms without any prior training. At The Math Genius, he chats with Mount Sinai neuroscientist Heather Berlin about the miracles of the mind.

Robert T. Davies (May 19, 1849 - April 22, 1916) was a Canadian businessman and Thoroughbred and Standardbred racehorse owner and breeder.
Born in Toronto, Ontario, he studied at Park School and Upper Canada College, in the early 1870s Robert Davies married Margaret Anne Taylor, the daughter of John Taylor, owner of paper mills in Todmorden Mills, Ontario. By the turn of the century, they had had eight children and owned a large home at 244 Don Mills Rd (now Broadview/O'Connor) in Todmorden Mills they called "Chester Park."
In 1879, Robert Davies founded the Dominion Brewing Co. Ten years later, his success led to the selling of shares in the company to a group of investors arranged by a London, England banking house. After his wife's family encountered financial difficulties, in 1901 Davies acquired most of the Taylor family holdings in the Don Valley, including two paper mills and the Don Valley Brick Works. By the time of his death in 1916, Robert Davies was one of the wealthiest people in Toronto.
Thoroughbred racing
As a boy, Robert Davies developed a love for horse racing and for a while was on jockey in Thoroughbred flat racing. In 1865 at the racetrack in London, Ontario, the then sixteen-year-old rode in that year's edition of the Queen's Plate. He soon turned to training his own horses and at age twenty-two raced and trained Floss who won the 1871 edition of the Plate. The following year, a horse he bred named Fearnaught won the Plate. As of 2008 Robert Davies is the only person to ever ride in the Queen's Plate as well as own, train and breed winners of that race.
Davies purchased the filly Southern Maid from Kentucky breeder, John E. Madden. A daughter of 1898 Kentucky Derby winner, Plaudit, Southern Maid was voted the retrospective American Champion Two-Year-Old Filly of 1913. As a broodmare for the Davies family, she produced 1922 King's Plate winner, South Shore.
In 1888, Davies purchased a large property in the Don Valley from his farther-in-law on which he established a breeding operation he dubbed Thorncliffe Farms. He raced horses both in Thoroughbred flat racing and in harness racing under the nom de course, Thorncliffe Stable.
Davies served as president of the Canadian Horse Breeder's Association. A vice-president of the Ontario Jockey Club from 1895 to 1904, he unsuccessfully lobbied for the lifting of the rule that prevented horses foaled outside of the Province of Ontario from competing in the King's Plate.
Robert Davies died in 1916 at "Chester Park" and was buried in the Mount Pleasant Cemetery in Toronto. For his contribution to the industry, in 2001 he was inducted in the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame in the Builders category. His estate sold Thorncliffe Farms to a group of investors from Baltimore, Maryland who built a horse Thorncliffe Park Raceway.

The leader of Tibetan Buddhism shares Conrad's sentiment. In a 2005 New York Times op-ed, Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama, wrote, "If science proves some belief of Buddhism wrong, then Buddhism will have to change. In my view science and Buddhism share a search for the truth and for understanding reality ... By learning from science about aspects of reality where its understanding may be advanced, I believe that Buddhism enriches its own worldview."
Perhaps because it has so often been publicly co-opted by the rich and famous, Buddhism has a reputation as the spirituality of dilettantes. David Curtis, who used to teach Tibetan in Los Angeles before moving to Montana, says that perception is finally changing. "Twenty years ago, the Tibetan thing was quite exotic, and people would say, 'Wow, this is kind of cool.' But there's been a maturation," he says. "Where once people thought that it would be hip to adopt a Tibetan name and wear a Tibetan vest, now people are genuinely interested in transformation."
Deanna Johnson, who was a practitioner when she arrived in Missoula in 1973, doesn't know how she would cope without Buddhism.
On Oct.17, Johnson's son Bodhi died from complications with seizures while sleeping in the Missoula bedroom in which he was born. He was 31.
If not for her Buddhist practice, Johnson doesn't know how she would have dealt with the loss of her son. She says Buddhism taught her how to face otherwise unbearable emotions.
"When death happens you can become embittered and deranged. But you can use death and impermanence to compel you to deeper levels of understanding and acceptance," she says. "I feel very fortunate that I have all these incredible teachings. And now I get to practice."
The Johnson family plans to donate money to create a garden in honor of Bodhi on Ewam's Arlee property, next to the Garden of 1,000 Buddhas. She hopes construction on the Bodhi Pagoda will begin this summer.
By 2009, the garden looked much the same as it did for the past eight years: a giant statue of Yum Chenmo sitting alone and gray like a weathering vestige of fizzled ambition.
But then Sang-ngag called with news: During a brief meeting in Washington, D.C., the Dalai Lama had agreed to visit Montana to consecrate the garden upon its completion.
Media descended on Arlee. Local and regional papers ran stories about the garden and the Dalai Lama's first trip to the Treasure State, and donations poured in from people around the country and world. Not only Ewam sangha members and Tibetan Buddhists, but people sympathetic to the effort from around the country (it's rumored a Catholic woman from Boise gave $100,000).
"That's when it got serious. It took that level of commitment," says Milan. "My first thought was, 'Oh, we really got to do this.'"
Since the news broke of the Dalai Lama's impending visit, the garden has transformed. Volunteers have painted Yum Chenmo in bright, primary colors, landscaped a water garden in honor of Sang-ngag's teachers into the slope of a hill and erected 1,000 stupa statues on the perimeter wall.
Hicks says the support has been overwhelming at times. "People believe in what the message of the garden is all about," she says. "Anything that is this important just never dies."
Ewam volunteers dedicated the entire month of July 2012 to making progress on the garden. They moved Buddha statues from the barn to their perches on the spokes of the 10-acre wheel, and placed stupas in painstaking uniformity.
On the last day of the event, the North American representative for the Dalai Lama consecrated the stupas. He met with CSKT tribal leaders and discussed the possibility of hosting a symposium on indigenous land issues during the Dalai Lama's visit. He walked with Ewam members through the garden. During a ceremony in the shade of a large tent, the representative led the audience in prayer and gave a brief speech.
Next to him, in a simple frame, was a photograph of the Dalai Lama.
When talking about the Dalai Lama's visit, Ewam members use the word "when" and not "if." What the visit means to the garden and members of the Ewam sanga, though, varies with whom you speak. Georgia Milan sees it several ways. She doesn't feel the Dalai Lama will change the "nature of the garden," and believes the attention he might draw to an indigenous land issues symposium would be the greatest benefit.
"For me, Georgia Milan, it's different. My ego has told people His Holiness has accepted, which he has, and he's going to come," she says. "My ego says, 'Well, I'm a person of my word and I'm going to make sure he comes.' But in the end, does it really matter? No, it really doesn't."
Today, there is still no finish date for the Garden of 1,000 Buddhas, but for the first time in nearly 13 years, a completed product can be easily imagined. Who will visit, what it will mean to those who do, and how it will change the town of Arlee remain unanswerable questions.
Equally indiscernible are the intentions of Sang-ngag. After charging a group of Buddhist converts with the task of building a holy site on an old sheep ranch in a rural Montana valley, he left. It makes Milan wonder. "We've been students for many years, and we still forget the basics," she says. "But there's something in our hearts. We're wild yaks, but we're strong as wild yaks, and we're stupid as yaks and [Sang-ngag] has the patience to be a yak herder."
Maybe, she says, completing the garden was never the point. "I think that the bottom line is whatever path is going to get you to enlightenment is the best. Maybe we wouldn't have sat down and meditated, so [Sang-ngag] made this really big project and saw us worker bees flitting around, and said, 'Let's have them work on it, and they will be a benefit to all beings.'"
Maybe completing the garden was never really important. Maybe the practice was in the task and the burden of the garden was Sang-ngag's lesson.

Latina activists across borders: women's grassroots organizing in Mexico and Texas
Duke University Press, 2007 - Biography & Autobiography - 174 pages
Over the past twenty-five years, nongovernment organizations (NGOs) run by women and devoted to advancing women's well-being have proliferated in Mexico and along both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. In this sociological analysis of grassroots activism, Milagros Peńa compares women's NGOs in two regions—the state of Michoacán in central Mexico and the border region encompassing El Paso, Texas, and Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. In both Michoacán and the border region, women have organized to confront a variety of concerns, including domestic violence, the growing number of single women who are heads of households, and exploitive labor conditions. By comparing women's activism in two distinct areas, Peńa illuminates their different motivations, alliances, and organizational strategies in relation to local conditions and national and international activist networks.
Drawing on interviews with the leaders of more than two dozen women's NGOs in Michoacán and El Paso/Ciudad Juárez, Peńa examines the influence of the Roman Catholic Church and liberation theology on Latina activism, and she describes how activist affiliations increasingly cross ethnic, racial, and class lines. Women's NGOs in Michoacán put an enormous amount of energy into preparations for the 1995 United Nations–sponsored World Conference on Women in Beijing, and they developed extensive activist networks as a result. As Peńa demonstrates, activists in El Paso/Ciudad Juárez were less interested in the Beijing conference; they were intensely focused on issues related to immigration and to the murders and disappearances of scores of women in Ciudad Juárez. Ultimately, Peńa's study highlights the consciousness-raising work done by NGOs run by and for Mexican and Mexican American women: they encourage Latinas to connect their personal lives to the broader political, economic, social, and cultural issues affecting them.

Montana legislators pitch new plan to settle tribes' water claims
Two northwest Montana legislators, Sen. Verdell Jackson, R-Kalispell, and Rep. Keith Regier, R-Kalispell, said that local water-rights holders were not fairly represented in the decade-long negotiations with the state and Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes to settle the tribes' water rights, and on Thursday, the legislators submitted an alternative plan developed by the group Concerned Citizens of Western Montana and a handful of legislators, who acknowledged that they did not work with the tribes to develop the plan.

Interior secretary addresses National Congress of American Indians
The emotional pledge of Interior Secretary Sally Jewell to work with tribes to right past wrongs drew a standing ovation at the National Congress of American Indians in Nevada on Thursday.
Great Falls Tribune (AP); June 28
Perhaps it's because I'm a Washington, D.C.-area native, and my visiting friends and relatives tend to put up a stubborn fight, but for as long as I've lived in Montana I've had to repeatedly defend the fact that the Anaconda Copper Mine's smelter stack is the world's largest free-standing masonry structure. It's not the Washington Monument, as my mother and father always insisted. It's not something outside of Houston called the San Jacinto Monument. It's "The Stack," and now we have some verification.
Washington Post columnist John Kelly addressed this pressing issue in a recent piece. A reader called out Kelly and his newspaper for repeatedly giving the Washington Monument credit as the world's largest free-standing masonry structure, and he looked into the complaint.
The Washington Monument is 555 feet 5.9 inches tall. The Anaconda stack is 585 feet 1.5 inches tall. However, that includes a 30-foot-tall concrete base. If you subtract the base, the Anaconda tower is 555 feet 1.5 inches high.
Aha, you say. The Washington Monument is still 4.4 inches taller than the Anaconda smokestack. But Carrie [the letter writer] points out that the top 8.8 inches of the monument is an aluminum pyramid. Subtract that, and the smokestack is taller. The beautiful homage to the Father of Our Country must cede its record to a big pollution stick.
You know this big pollution stick. It's the structure visible from I-90. It's also home to a state park that you can't actually visit because it's so polluted.
Anyway, Kelly goes on to wriggle away from Anaconda's glory and find some way to keep the Washington Monument in contention for ... something. Carol Johnson of the National Park Service went so far as to tell Kelly: "Theirs is the tallest free-standing masonry structure. Ours is the tallest free-standing stone structure."
Oh, come on. Now you're just being silly.
Grizzly bear numbers on the rise in Montana's Beartooth Mountains

Billings Gazette; June 27
Confession: While my homeland dries, and pillars of smoke pour out of some of my favorite places, I am far, far away in a place where I must jump over puddles in the park and almost swim my way through air thick with oxygen and humidity. I've moved my mobile office to Manhattan for a week, to take a quasi-vacation with my family and get a little injection of urbanity.
Yet, even way out here I can't escape the devastation that is being wrought back home. Yesterday we were standing on a corner on the Upper East Side, trying to figure out where to eat, when an archetypical New Yorker — accent and swagger and all — offered his help (despite my New Yorker friend's admonition to "never, ever make eye contact," folks here are quite friendly).
"You visiting from somewhere?" he asked. "Where you from?"
"Colorado," we said.
"Oh, so sad," he said. "I'm so sorry."
He wasn't sorry about the fact that what passes for an art museum in my hometown might include airbrushed paintings of Hollywood Indians and sunsets, or that our idea of ethnic food includes ambrosia salad from way over in Utah. He was sorry about the fires that are currently gobbling up forests and homes across the West.
The fires, themselves, are the bad news, of course. But the fact that the average Joe on the East Coast knows so much about the fires is bad, too. That means that national news outlets are running image after image of flaming catastrophe, and each time the scene is repeated, someone else is canceling his Western vacation. Our economy, still fragile from the Great Recession, just can't afford that kind of blow.
And that hurts. Last year's Waldo Canyon Fire near Colorado Springs was the state's worst ever, charring 350 homes (the 2010 Fourmile Canyon Fire near Boulder had been the worst, with 168 homes burned, before that). During and after the fire, the lodger's tax — a good reflection of the health of tourism — plummeted. July's revenues were down 18 percent from the previous year, with August and September down 5 and 8 percent, respectively. Local economic development officials estimated that small businesses lost some $8.6 million in potential sales as a result of the fire.
Waldo Canyon didn't hold its worst-fire-ever distinction for long. This summer's Black Forest Fire, which still smolders as I write, burned more than 400 homes, also near Colorado Springs. At the same time, the Royal Gorge Fire burned a stone's throw away from that major tourist attraction. Forests also went up in flames to the east, west and north of Santa Fe, N.M., one of the region's major tourist meccas; the 150,000-acre Las Conchas Fire of 2011 was blamed for bad business in Santa Fe for the next several months. Las Conchas was the biggest fire in the state until last year's Whitewater Baldy Complex Fire in southern New Mexico dwarfed it and dealt a severe blow to tourism down there. Now the Silver Fire, also in the south, is threatening the small town of Kingston. A fire is burning near Yosemite National Park, and people all over are changing their summer travel plans.
The good news is that tourists are generally amnesiacs, and the drag on the tourist economy during fires doesn't seem to last that long afterwards. But as one devastatingly dry summer is piled upon another, and mega-fires become the norm, not the anomaly, one has to wonder when that amnesia is going to fade away. It's not hard to imagine a day when travelers simply avoid the West during the ever-lengthening fire season. Sad, indeed.

Montanans interpret President Obama's Keystone XL pipeline comment differently
On Tuesday, President Obama announced his plans to address climate change that includes putting new limits on power plant emissions, building renewable-energy generation projects on federal lands and approval of the Keystone XL pipeline project only if "...this project does not significantly exacerbate the problem of carbon pollution," a statement that Montana U.S. Rep. Steve Daines said was a clear indication that the project would not be built, but U.S. Sen. Max Baucus said it was an indication that it would.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): "To know when to stop is of the same importance as to know when to begin," said the painter Paul Klee. Take that to heart, Aries! You are pretty adept at getting things launched, but you've got more to learn about the art of stopping. Sometimes you finish prematurely. Other times you sort of disappear without officially bringing things to a close. Now would be an excellent time to refine your skills.

Curses, Foiled Again
Authorities charged Scott Simon, 24, with first-degree murder after he "pocket dialed" 911 and was overheard telling someone he was going to follow a 33-year-old man home from a Waffle House in Broward County, Fla., and kill him. Minutes later, the victim was shot and killed while driving on Interstate 95. "He had no idea he called 911," sheriff's official Dani Moschella said of Simon. "He basically told on himself." (The Miami Herald)
Authorities charged Natasha Myers, 23, with criminal mischief after they said she used a key to scratch a crude sketch of male genitalia on the hood of a stranger's SUV in a supermarket parking lot in Wesley Chapel, Fla. She then went to the supermarket's customer service desk, asked for a Post-it note, scribbled a message scolding the driver for not stopping for pedestrians—saying "Don't be a dick"—and left the note on the SUV's windshield. The vehicle's owner saw the damage and the note, then went into the store and called 911. Security camera footage showed Myers writing the note, and sheriff's deputies traced her to her home.

Falling on your ass is a right of passage for the 12-and-under demographic, and if you had a skateboard when you were younger, you fell 10-times more. Remember how good it felt when you were a kid and had four of your closest friends pushing around your mom's driveway trying to ollie over a stick? And then you got older. You became an angsty teen, wrapped up in the drama of high-school lifestyle. Maybe you went off to college to learn how to be a thriving citizen and/or smoke weed.
But a dedicated few stuck with skateboarding, and continued to throw their bodies into the asphalt for years to come. As time went on, numbers thinned, and joints grew sore. To this day, when people see a mid-20s or older skateboarder still pushing around town, they all say the same thing: "Yeah, I used to skate, too."
Well, ladies and gentlemen, now is the time to put your wheels where your mouth is. Or something. Today is Go Skateboarding Day—a Congressionally recognized national holiday aimed at appreciating the rattiest group of athletes to ever hang around your parking lot.
Edge of the World will be hosting the festivities this year at Mobash skatepark, featuring a Best Trick competition, Highest Ollie (you remember how to ollie, right?), as well as a game of S.K.A.T.E (think H.O.R.S.E, but with skateboard tricks) and prizes for the winners. Music, barbequed goodness and a raffle for a slew of sponsor goodies are also on hand to keep people entertained. But rest assured, if the weather isn't going to cooperate, the festivities will simply be held at Edge of the World headquarters (618 S. Higgins), and everything will be there, including the barbeque.
Go Skateboarding Day didn't come about so that skateboarders could pat themselves on the back for doing something they already know is cool. It's a day of inclusion, probably some bruising and, depending on your age, maybe a little boozing, too. But all people of all skill levels are encouraged to, at the very least, step on a skateboard once today. Then, once you've busted your ass, go ahead and have a burger. You did good, kid.
Go Skate Day takes place at Mobash Skatepark, below the Orange Street bridge, from noon to 4 PM. Free.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out in the coming months and…
This is a travesty ! Of course, I'd expect nothing less from Ryan Zinke and…

Everyone loves a good wedding, so if you're getting married or just attending one this summer you might want to start getting into shape and think about adopting a special wedding beauty regime. Here at sk:n we have a few pointers to help you get wedding day beautiful.
In order to look fresh faced and healthy on this special day we recommend investing in a good exfoliator for both your face and body to get rid of dead skin. Exfoliating and moisturising are two key components in any beauty regime for enhancing the appearance of tired skin. If you're looking for something that's really going to achieve instant visible results then you might want to try microdermabrasion.
If you're the bride to be and going to be wearing a traditional wedding dress, then you might want to make sure that your skin is tanned to contrast nicely against the material. Here at sk:n we strongly oppose the use of tanning beds, but a spray tan or over the counter products can easily achieve a natural glow to compliment your dress.
Your hair and nails can instantly add to your self-confidence and so can be the perfect preparation for any special occasion. If you're the bride to be then it might help to have beautifully manicured nails when all eyes are on your ring finger.
No one wants to be a honey monster on their honey moon and so sorting your hair removal pre wedding is advisable. For the most long-term solution to your hair removal worries we recommend laser hair removal. Out of sight is out of mind for you to relax and enjoy your honeymoon in peace.

Interesting documents relating to the Technology Platform for Zero Emission Fossil Fuel Power Plants

For further information, please contact:
Vassilios KOUGIONAS
The European Technology Platform for Zero Emission Fossil Fuel Power Plants (ETP ZEP) has its own website to document and promote its activities. This page provides an overview of the process leading to the creation of the ETP ZEP and links to related documention .
Following developments in the context of Framework Programme projects and coordination actions in the field of clean power generation, towards the end of 2004, industrial stakeholders and the research community had several meetings, the outcome of which was the creation of a Technology Platform for Zero Emission Fossil Fuel Power Plants.
The initial concept and guiding principles of the Technology Platform has been developed by the European Commission Directorate General for Research with the support of a grouping of industrial associations which includes EURELECTRIC, VGB, OGP, EURACOAL, EUNITED TURBINES and EPPSA. A First Outline Concept of the Platform and tentative structure was proposed.
An Open Call for Expressions of Interest was published in March 2005 in order to set up the first Advisory Council of the Platform.
The Results of the Call [99 Kb] are available.
An Advisory Council [19 Kb] was nominated in 2005 to steer, monitor and provide guidance on all activities related to the ETP ZEP as well and the required structures and procedures.
Objectives and Structure
Over the summer of 2005, the foundation of the Platform was developed and laid down in three documents, i.e.:
The main elements of the outline concept and tentative structure of the Platform are:
Scope. In line with the proposed priority for "Near Zero Emission Power Generation" in FP7, the initial scope of the Platform aims at identifying and removing the obstacles to the creation of highly efficient power plants with near-zero emissions which will drastically reduce the environmental impact of fossil fuel use, particularly coal. This will include CO2 capture and storage, as well as clean conversion technologies leading to substantial improvements in plant efficiency, reliability and costs.
Structure. The Platform should be open and accessible, allowing the participation of all active stakeholders. The structure should reflect the diverse and complementary activities, which will be undertaken by the Platform, and be such as to ensure that initiatives are taken forward in an active and dynamic manner.
In addition, a Mirror Group was established to have a body representing all political institutions from the Member States. It's role is to proactively advise the Advisory Council from a perspective (as laid down in this Mirror Group - Terms of reference / Rules of Procedure [40 Kb]).
In line with the scope and structure developed, the actual platform was officially launches on 1 December 2005 by the European Commissioner for Research, Janez POTOČNIK.

Ibrahim Afellay is a Dutch footballer who plays for English Premier League team Stoke City and the Netherlands national football team. Making his Netherlands national team debut in 2007, Afellay appeared at the 2010 World Cup, contributing to the Dutch side's second place in the tournament.
Afellay is of Moroccan descent; his parents left their hometown Al Hoceima in the 1960s to work in the Netherlands. Afellay was chosen by manager Guus Hiddink to join the first team during their training camp in Turkey in January 2004. Afellay's official debut for PSV was on 4 February 2004 during a KNVB Cup match against NAC Breda at the age of 17. His first Eredivisie fixture followed ten days later against FC Twente.
In the 2005-06 season, Afellay established himself as a first-team regular at PSV. He formed a midfield with Timmy Simons and Phillip Cocu. After completing the €3 million transfer, Afellay signed a contract for 4.5 years at FC Barcelona. He made his Blaugrana debut on 5 January 2011 in the Copa del Rey match against Athletic Bilbao, replacing David Villa in injury time. Afellay was given his first start on 19 January 2011 against Real Betis in the Copa del Rey. His first goal also occurred in the Copa del Rey against UD Almería in February.
After both the Moroccan and the Dutch national teams managers selected him for their squads, he was caught in the dilemma to either play for the Moroccan national team, because of his Moroccan descent, or to play for the Dutch team, the Netherlands being his place of birth and residence. He ultimately decided to play for the Dutch national team despite the heavy competition for places in midfield. Afellay was included in Marco van Basten's squad for UEFA Euro 2008 and was mostly used as a substitute. Afellay was part of the Dutch team for the 2010 World Cup managed by Bert van Marwijk. Despite being injured for most of the 2011–12 season, he was included in the Netherlands' Euro 2012 squad.

Here's what ESPN said: Mike Sherman, who wears both the coach and the general manager hats, paid a steep price to move up eight spots and land wide receiver Javon Walker in the first round. In a draft deep in second-round picks, the Packers sacrificed their No. 2 as part of the ransom to deal up in the first round. So here's hoping Walker, who has had some problems with the cerebral side of the game in the past, is better than 2001 No. 2 wide receiver Robert Ferguson was as a rookie. Personally scouted by Sherman, and mightily endorsed by the head coach, Ferguson played in one game as a rookie and had zero catches. Third-round safety Marques Anderson was a solid, if unspectacular, pick. Defensive end Aaron Kampman was a very nice choice in the fifth round but quarterback Craig Nall was a real stretch in the same stanza. Grade: C-minus.
This is one man's opinion, and I'd bet Packer Report editor Todd Korth's annual salary, which I could retire on, that these people grading the drafts don't have people like Mark Hatley, John Dorsey, Reggie McKenzie, John Schneider, and others breaking down every draft prospect to the level if he wears boxers or briefs.
These graders do have good knowledge and gain their opinions by talking to many NFL personnel people, but they don't see these players up close and personal like NFL teams do. For example, fifth-round pick, Craig Nall probably wasn't on anybody's radar screen before the draft, but the Packers caught wind of this possible diamond in the rough, thanks to scout Alonzo Highsmith. The information Highsmith gave Green Bay prodded offensive coordinator Tom Rossley to work out Nall personally and the Packers decided he was worthy of being drafted.
If you need more proof that these grades are bogus, just look back to last year when many of these same people grading the Packers' draft this year called defensive end Jamal Reynolds a great pick at No. 10. Now Reynolds might turn things around and become a quality player, but after one year it's not looking like he'll come close to playing like a top 10 player.
I guess you can compare draft grades to preseason top 25 polls in college basketball and football. Many times there are some top-ranked teams in the preseason which end up out of the poll at the end of a season. This just proves you can't take to heart preseason predictions or draft grades, because until players hit the field, anything can happen.
A, B, C, D or F. Who cares?
Oh, as for my draft grade. I give the Packers a B. Take that for what you want.

With 5 more states set to vote in the GOP primary Tuesday, some new polling suggests Marco Rubio's chances in Florida are even slimmer than previously believed!
A New CBS News Battleground Tracker poll has Rubio slipping to 3rd place in Florida behind Texas Senator Ted Cruz!
From Fox News:
New polls show Sen. Marco Rubio trailing Donald Trump badly in his home state of Florida – even dropping to third place behind Ted Cruz in one – while Ohio Gov. John Kasich, too, is locked in a dogfight with the Republican primary front-runner in his home state ahead of crucial primaries Tuesday.
The latest Marist/NBC/Wall Street Journal poll shows Trump dominating Rubio with a double-digit lead in Florida, 43-22 percent. The same poll shows Cruz essentially tied with Rubio, at 21 percent. A separate CBS News 2016 Battleground Tracker poll shows Rubio slipping behind Cruz.
Meanwhile, in Ohio, a Marist survey shows Kasich holding the edge in the Buckeye State with 39 percent to Trump's 33 percent. The latest Quinnipiac poll shows Trump and Kasich tied in Ohio, with 38 percent each.
The primaries in Ohio and Florida, among five Tuesday, are essentially a must-win for both Kasich and Rubio, respectively – both of whom significantly trail front-runner Trump and Texas Sen. Cruz in the delegate count.
Rubio's drop in the polls appears to be another indication that his campaign might soon come to an end.
The CBS News 2016 Battleground Tracker poll showed Rubio falling even further.
It showed Trump — who has several, popular golf-resort properties in Florida — maintaining his lead in the state's winner-take-all primary, in which 99 delegates are at stake.
The billionaire businessman has 44 percent of the vote among registered voters in the state, compared with Cruz at 24 percent and Rubio at 21 percent.
Should Rubio drop out before Tuesday's primary to help solidify Trump's path to the nomination? Share your thoughts below!

Arsene Wenger was today handed a reunion with his former club as Arsenal were paired with Monaco in the Champions League last 16.
The Gunners have faced tough draws in recent years after finishing runners-up in their group but avoided a third successive meeting with Bayern Munich. Asked beforehand about the prospect of facing Monaco, whom he managed between 1987-94, Wenger (right) said:
"I'm not against it at all. It would be a visit to my first home. Of course, I would love to go there." Group winners Chelsea have been drawn against arguably the strongest runner-up in Paris St Germain.
It is a repeat of April's quarterfinal, in which the Blues scored an 87th-minute goal through Demba Ba in the second leg at Stamford Bridge to advance on away goals. England's other remaining club, Manchester City, will play Barcelona at this stage for the second successive season.
It's AS Monaco - Mon. Wenger will be happy about the draw #UCLdraw #AFCvMON #COYG— Mesut Özil (@MesutOzil1088) December 15, 2014
Wenger admitted last month he was hoping for a change of luck from the last 16 draw and although Monaco topped a group containing Bayer Leverkusen, Zenit St Petersburg and Benfica, Arsenal will be favourites to progress to the quarter-finals for the first time since the 2009-10 season.
No side left in the Champions League has scored fewer than Monaco's four group stage goals while Arsenal have lost just two of 12 games in the competition against French teams.
However, Arsenal did lose 1-0 to Monaco in the pre-season Emirates Cup tournament this summer.
Wenger won the Ligue 1 title with Monaco in 1988 and the Coupe de France three years later. Former Manchester United and Tottenham striker Dimitar Berbatov is among the club's current stars and he has scored 11 goals in 20 games since joining from Fulham in January.
Gunners' secretary David Miles said: "As the draw progressed, it was evident that a lot of the big teams had gone so we are pleased to have avoided them. But we are delighted to be here for the 17th consecutive year. That is a fantastic achievement for Arsene Wenger and his players and we are very much looking forward to the games and a great atmosphere.
"We have picked some of the really biggest teams in Europe over the last five years but we are certainly not taking anything for granted. Monaco have earned the right to be here, just as we have. I am sure it will mean a lot for Arsene to go back to one of his former teams."
After Chelsea's last group game, Jose Mourinho identified Paris as the ideal destination for his team despite other possible outcomes such as Bayer Leverkusen and Shakhtar Donetsk looking easier on paper.
Full draw:
Paris St Germain (France) v Chelsea (England)
Manchester City (England) v Barcelona (Spain)
Bayer Leverkusen (Germany) v Atletico Madrid (Spain)
Juventus (Italy) v Borussia Dortmund (Germany)
Schalke 04 (Germany) v Real Madrid (Spain)
Shakhtar Donetsk (Ukraine) v Bayern Munich (Germany)
Arsenal (England) v AS Monaco (France)
FC Basel (Switzerland) v Porto (Portugal)
The first legs will be played on Feb.17/18 and Feb 24/25 with ther second legs being played on March 10/11 and March 17/18Reuse content

Nigeria President declares state of emergency in some of north
President Goodluck Jonathan declared a state of emergency on Saturday on parts of northern Nigeria plagued by a by a violent Islamist insurgency, and said he would shut any borders with other nations in those areas covered by the decree.
I have in the exercise in the powers conferred on me ... declared a state of emergency in the following parts of the federation, Jonathan told state TV, before going on to list the northern local governments affected by the decree.
The temporary closure of our borders in the affected areas is only an interim measure designed to address the current security challenges and will be resumed as soon as normalcy is restored, he added, in a speech addressing deadly Christmas Day bombings by the Boko Haram sect a week ago.

Mediterranean Cruise
Sail Date: September 18, 2015
Reviewed: 1 year ago
Traveled As: Couple
Room Type: Balcony
The trip was fantastic. The ship was very good. They took excellent care of our room. Balcony was great for the sound. Twice a day they checked and made up our room. The food was way better than I could have expected. The entertainment (Shows) were pretty good. Not much other activities because we were so busy at different ports. On and off the ship went smooth. Drinks were a little pricey, those could come down in cost. The ports of call were great. We really loved them all except Istanbul Turkey. It was fine, but nothing spectacular. All the big attractions were closed due to holiday. Oh yeah, take Euros. You will need them. The ship exchange is ridiculous and most exchange places get you pretty well too.

A Big Disappointment
Sail Date: September 02, 2007
Reviewed: 7 years ago
Traveled As: Couple
Room Type: Balcony
The reason was due to Hurricane Hennriette making landfall in Cabo St. Lucas. We understand that Carnival can't control the weather, but I called the night before to get an update and was told that the trip was still on as scheduled. They did not tell us until we had gotten of the bus transfer from LAX, So what were we to do. There was no time to research hotels in LA, etc. all the things that go with planning a trip. Carnival offered to reinburse our cruise and 25% off the price of our next cruise OR take the cruise, get $200. Carnvial onboard credit (which you end up giving back to them) and 25% off the next cruise. We are not sure we want to travel Carnival again.
Additionally, we never received documentation from Carnival, which meant we had no transfer tickets. The bus company was not very understanding and gave us a difficult time.
We made the best of the trip. But it was definitely not what we paid for.
Pros: Being away from home and work
Cons: The Itinerary was changed and we were notified.

Based on his most popular sermon series, New York Times best-selling author Timothy Keller delivers an extraordinarily insightful look at the keys to happiness in marriage.
Few subjects are as compelling-or as endlessly variable-as love and marriage. The Bible is filled with references to husbands and wives, from the story of Adam and Eve to advice in the New Testament, each open to interpretation.
In The Meaning of Marriage, Timothy Keller, pastor of New York's Redeemer Presbyterian Church and bestselling author of The Reason for God, uses the scriptures as his guide to show readers what God's call to marriage is, and why this is such a powerful call. He talks in frank terms about the difficulties that couples have and how they can best work them out while keeping their faith in God intact.
The Meaning of Marriage showcases Keller's vast understanding of the Bible and how it can not only be relevant to relationships today but also form the foundation of a modern, healthy, loving, and long- lasting marriage.
©2011 Timothy Keller (P)2011 Penguin
"Possibly the best book on the topic of Marriage!"
I have listened to this book 2 times now as it so clearly captures the essence of marriage and debunks the myths too. If I had to choose one book on the topic of marriage, this would be it. I will be giving a copy to each of my kids once they get to that stage in their lives.
"Phenomenal book..."
It is just a great book. Keller hits the nail on the head in a very real way.
Real Marriage by Driscoll
Great narration.
"Excellent and insightful"
I don't know that it is better, but certainly not worse.
This book is full of insight into human relationships. Even though it emphasizes marriage, it give practical and helpful perspectives on how to have successful relationships in all categories. I certainly recommend this book to anyone in a dating or marriage relationship. We can all stand to be more loving and selfless - and this book gives us hope for even the most challenging of relationship situations.
Recovering from a life of performing for God Learning to rest in the finished work of Jesus Excited to see that work itself out...
"Must have"
For a nice comprehensive overview of a Christian marriage this is the best!!! I loved it and learned a ton! Listen to it often!
Very informational, but based mostly off of scriptures.
My most important connection is to God... then my spouse.
"Excellent book on SO many levels!"
I just liked that Keller, from the beginning was not ashamed about the Christian nature of the book. After that, he continued to make me think on so many levels. It reached parts of my brain that I had kind of closed off due to bad experiences. This is a must read, if you're single or married!
"Another top tome by Timothy Keller - love it!"
Lots of good advice on marriages and relationships in general. Clear signposts for both believers and non-believers as to how to have a successful relationship - so contrary to Hollywood's versions....the way to have a TRUE happy ending!
"best book on marriage ever"
This book talks about marriage in the most beautiful way. It is a must read.
I great book. It helped me understand some of the deeper intricacies of marriage. I am thankful for Dr. Keller's ministry. His wife KAthy's chapter was also quite good.
Dr. Keller narrates a couple of other audio books I have of his. I was hoping he would have done this one too. The narrators do a fine job, but when you are expecting one voice and you hear another it's a little odd.
"Excellant book on marriage"
It is about the marriage and not the individual in the marriage
That happiness does not come from your mate.
This is a great book for those who have been married a long time say 38 years.
"Guidelines for Heaven on Earth Marriage "
I enjoyed listening to this book. I hope to use this as a reference throughout my marriage. It enlightened limited view of marriage and how amazingly perfect God's vision for marriage was.

Make-A-Wish Foundation granted 3-year-old Juniper's wish to go to Disneyland, they let her best friend Violet, who previously had her own wish granted, give her the news. Both girls are fighting a form of cancer called retinoblastoma.
I hope Juni did twirl like a princess and give nose kisses!
I did a bit of research and am happy to let you know that she is cancer free! I hope all she ever remembers from this experience was how much she was and is loved.
You work too hard for your money to throw it all away on full price when you don't have to!
