April 19, 2011 - Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries' (LDWF) biologists and technicians were on the front line of wildlife rescue a year ago in the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig disaster.
Bird rescue was a primary mission of LDWF's Coastal and Nongame Resources Division, and one of the birds rescued and rehabilitated, and then returned to Louisiana's coastal marshes was a brown pelican, tagged number 895 when recovered from oiled state waters last July. The story of that bird was documented by a film crew and that story is now an HBO Documentary Film, SAVING PELICAN 895, which will premiere on HBO on April 20, the anniversary of the rig explosion.
"It's a remarkable story detailing the efforts of government agencies, conservationists, and wildlife activists joining together to preserve fragile species impacted by oil," said LDWF Secretary Robert Barham. "The significance of that effort is even more special since the brown pelican, our state bird, had just been removed from the federal Threatened and Endangered Species list in 2009."
The film, produced and directed by Irene Taylor Brodsky, provides a detailed look at one facet of what went on over the course of many months to overcome the threat of oil to the state's coastal marsh ecosystem.
Working with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service personnel and partners that included out of state animal rescue specialists and veterinarians, plus National Audubon Society staff and volunteers, LDWF and pooled resources collectively recovered 4,978 birds from Louisiana's coastal marshes and waterways. Over 1,500 of that total were oiled, but alive when recovered, and 1,116 of those made it through rehabilitation to be released back into the wild. Other state partners involved in the oiled bird rehabilitation included the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine, the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry, and Louisiana State Animal Response Team.

|Biographical or historical note
|Born in Hardwick, Georgia, December 21, 1923, Willie Julian Usery, Jr. has been known as "Bill" throughout his life. Educated at Georgia Military College (1938-1941) in Milledgeville, Usery worked as a machinist at naval shipyards in Brunswick, Georgia, and later as a Navy enlisted (1943-1946) underwater welder on a repair ship in the Pacific Fleet. While working as a maintenance machinist at the Armstrong Cork Company, Macon, Georgia (1948-1956), Usery attended Mercer University. Usery was a founding member of the International Association of Machinists' Local 8 (joining March 1, 1952, what is now Local 918), eventually becoming its president and later IAM Grand Lodge Representative from 1956 until February 1969. In 1961, while ""GLR"" Usery was appointed industrial union representative on the President's Missile Sites Labor Commission at Cape Canaveral (Kennedy Space Center from 1963 on) and at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. Additionally, Usery coordinated union activities at the Manned Spacecraft Center, Houston, Texas, and in 1967 became a member of the Cape Kennedy Labor-Management Relations Council, serving as its chair in 1968. In February 1969, Usery received his first Presidential appointment from Richard Nixon as Assistant Secretary of Labor for Labor-Management Relations. While administering the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (LMRDA), Usery formulated and implemented Executive Order 1199, establishing standards of organizing and bargaining for more than two million Federal employees. In 1970 and 1971, Usery worked intensively to settle disputes in the railway industry involving the Brotherhood of Airline and Railway and Airline Clerks (BRAC) and the United Transportation Union (UTU). Employing his characteristic non-stop negotiations, Usery had already averted a 1971, nationwide strike by the Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen. Also in 1971, Usery had obtained the first collective bargaining agreement in the United States Postal Service's history. From March 1973, and until February 1976, Usery held the post of Director, Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, guiding more than 300 professional mediators in 79 field offices throughout the United States. During this period, Usery was chief mediator in major labor-management disputes, plus he advised Presidents Nixon (Special Assistant to the President for Labor-Management Affairs, August 1974) and Ford (Special Assistant for Labor-Management Negotiations, April 1975) on the status of the nation's labor-management relations. In October 1973, the AFL-CIO Council voted unanimously to offer Usery the directorship of the Department of Organization and Field Services, which he accepted but then declined at the request of President Nixon. In February 1976, President Gerald Ford appointed Usery United States Secretary of Labor, a post which he held until Jimmy Carter became President on January 20, 1977. Almost immediately following the end of Usery's government service, he founded Bill Usery Associates, Inc. (BUA), a Washington, D. C.-based firm providing consulting services in all areas of employer-employee relations. Usery has also been selected to serve on Presidential Commissions, i.e. the Commission on the Future of Worker-Management Relations and the ""Coal Commission."" Bill Usery and Associates served as the catalyst for pioneering negotiations among the United Auto Workers, Toyota and General Motors to produce the entity popularly known as "NUMMI" the New United Motors Manufacturing, Inc. (established 1983). NUMMI's inception involved Usery's firm in international negotiation, planning for productivity, and a wholly new way to foster labor-management cooperation. High profile strikes involving Usery and his firm's mediation talents included the Pittston Coal Strike (1989-1990) and the Major League Baseball Players Association Baseball Strike (1994-1995). Usery remains ""on call"" as a special mediator as presidents seek to resolve labor conflicts. Usery was a Co-Commissioner of both the Coal Commission, seeking to resolve thorny issues involving miners' retirement funding, and the Commission on the Future of Worker-Management Relations (1993-1995). In 1985, Usery established the Bill Usery Labor Relations Foundation, which helped create Partners in Economic Reform, a group working with democratic labor and management in the former Soviet Union. In the mid-1990s, Usery's vision of labor-management cooperation found a home in the W. J. Usery, Jr., Center for the Workplace at Georgia State University, a entity with wide programmatic aims in collective bargaining, workplace productivity, and dispute resolution serving company and union leaders. In early 2000, Usery scaled back his work in the Washington, D. C. area to shift his focus to the work of the Center.

The program was produced based on the requirements of men. Easily tear open up a bag of chips or pretzels. By the way still, enjoy eating hamburgers. The plan is easy to follow and comes with instructions on how to do so. I am losing weight easily. I am feeling healthier every day.
I am enjoying the foods I am eating, and I am enjoying the compliments I am receiving on my weight loss. I joined the Nutrisystem plan because I knew I was headed in the wrong direction with my body weight.
I decided to start going to a gym. However, I did not know how to start eating right. I pick the food I want to eat from the menu that Nutrisystem provides. Nutrisystem also shows me how to plan what to eat for the day. The foods are really good. I love some of them, like most of them and only disliked one or two items out of the whole menu.
One of my favorite foods from Nutrisystem is their Mexican style tortilla soup, it's great. As far as diets go Nutrisystem is a great plan. When I was on the Nutrisystem plan it worked for me. I lost weight, learned to eat healthier and felt great. Nutrisystem is also extremely easy to follow. The plan comes with easy to follow instructions on how to use the program to work for you. When I was on the plan my wife and children would eat their food while I ate my Nutrisystem food.
Her food was hard to resist; however, I stuck to the Nutrisystem plan because their food also tastes good. I ate good food every day. Foods such as blueberry pancakes, blueberry muffins, honey mustard pretzel sticks, beef stew and broiled beef patties.
Nutrisystem truly does go to great lengths to help make losing weight easy. I wanted to lose 20 pounds, but ended up shaving off 30 pounds thanks to Nutrisystem. Nutrisystem is the best diet plan I have ever tried. I have tried to diet a few other times in my life but I could not stick to the diet.
With Nutrisystem I do not have to learn recipes. I do not have to learn to eat better foods. I do not have to count calories. I do not have to weigh food. With Nutrisystem all I have to do is follow the instructions and eat the foods Nutrisystem supplies. When I joined Nutrisystem I was afraid the food would taste terrible as I had read a review online saying so. Of course there are a few foods that do not suit my taste such as the eggs frittata; however, most of the foods are delicious.
For breakfast I can eat pancakes, blueberry pancakes, cinnamon buns or oatmeal. There are many other breakfast foods to choose from also. For lunch I can eat hearty minestrone soup or choose from many other menu items. Nutrisystem also offers great dinners, snacks and desserts. Following the Nutrisystem plan is easy and I am seeing results. I wish the weight melted off easier, but it took a while putting it on and so I expect it'll take time getting it off too.
I had tried losing weight on my own a few times but it was too hard to count calories and weigh out all of my food what a time sucker! I always got discouraged about losing the weight.
With Nutrisystem I have not became discouraged because Nutrisystem makes the plan so simple to follow. While it's not fresh food the meals are frozen , it still just as great tasting. Speaking frankly, I was really afraid that I would hate the Nutrisystem food. I gave the food a try thinking it would taste like cardboard.
However, I was completely wrong, the Nutrisystem food is delicious. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert and all my snacks provided by Nutrisystem are tasty. My wife loves me being on the Nutrisystem diet too. She is very impressed with the progress I have made losing weight.
She just makes dinner for the family and I eat my Nutrisystem meal. Nutrisystem is a great diet plan that I personally think can help anyone lose weight.
Let's be honest here, does any man like to cook? Not only do I not like to cook, I just don't have the time to cook. That's why Nutrisystem really appealed to me when my doctor recommended it. I am a busy man who works 80 hours a week.
I am also single. I just don't know how to cook, so I eat fast food quite often. I also eat at restaurants often too. The reason I go out to eat so often is because I am single, busy and do not know how to cook. Going out to eat is just easier than learning how to cook. But eating out is expensive and has caused me to quickly add on 30 pounds that I no longer wanted.
I thought if I pay to go out to eat everyday I might as well pay to eat this healthy food and lose some weight. The best part of the Nutrisystem plan is that I do not have to prepare the food and it still tastes great. I am losing weight eating healthy delicious foods. I'm happy and so is my doctor who was telling me I needed to lose weight. I have lost nine pounds since I started the diet.
With Nutrisystem you get to chose from many foods that are already prepared for you. You also get a daily menu planner and a diary to log your success in. Nutrisystem also provides a website that includes articles, weight loss stories, blogs, chat rooms and a live counselor who is available 24 hours a day for support. With the Nutrisystem plan I go online everyday and log onto Nutrisystems website to see my progress. I also check the discussion group forums and talk to other men who are trying to lose weight.
I enjoy using the Nutrisystem web site. The Nutrisystem plan is so simple to follow. I really can not think of any other diet plan that is as simple to use as Nutrisystem. The food Nutrisystem offers is also excellent. My favorite food from Nutrisystem is the beef stew.
I love beef stew and I would not want to give it up for a diet. However, with Nutrisystem I do not have to give up beef stew because Nutrisystem offers a beef stew dinner.
I have been on the plan for about one month now and have alreasy lost seven pounds which wasn't happening with Bistro MD. I'm happy to say that losing weight has never been easier. The Nutrisystem plan is very easy to follow and simple to understand. I get to eat three meals a day plus a snack and a dessert. As soon as I start to feel hungry I get to eat again. With Nutrisystem I get access to the Nutrisystem website tools too.
The website is wonderful. I can log on and talk to other people from all over the world who are trying to lose weight. The other people on the website inspire me to want to lose more weight and become even healthier.
The people on the website inspire to me to stick with the plan until I reach my goal. It's a great support group. The Nutrisystem website also provides me with access to a counselor who is available 24 hours a day to chat with if I have any questions. It's working for me and I know it will work for you too. Now if I can only get my wife on it. I need more support! I have been using Nutrisystems plan for about two months now. I thought for sure when I started the plan that I would probably have at least one thing to complain about it; however, I was wrong.
Nutrisystem truly is a great plan. Any problems that you may read about online are obvioulsy one off items and not a consistent trend. The basic plan is extremely easy to follow. It comes with specific instructions on how to follow it. It also comes with some great dieting tools. The best part of the plan is that it comes with healthy foods that are already prepared for me to eat. Food wise, I love the vegetable beef soup; it is one of my favorite things to eat for lunch.
I love to eat the chili with beans for dinner. So far, I love all of the foods I've tried. I haven't found one that wasn't edible. Even the desserts and snacks taste darn good. And unlike other diets, with Nutrisystem I don't crave junk food because I get a treat everyday in the meal plan: I have needed to lose weight for quite awhile and am just glad that I'm finally doing something about it.
I am very satisfied with the basic plan. Like most guys I know, I love to eat! I was always afraid of going on a hard core diet plan because I did not want to give up great tasting foods. With the Nutrisystem plan I have not had to give up any of my usual great tasting foods. Hats off to Nutrisystem for figuring out how to get great tasting food in a small package that is so easy to prepare - just stick it in the microwave and you're eating in 5 minutes. So far, my favorite is the mushroom risotto, the chicken with dumplings, and the chili with beans, the flame broiled beef patty, the barbecue sauce pork wrap, the chocolate chocolate chip pudding, the chocolate crunch bar, the chocolate chip cookie, the creamy tomato sauce, the blueberry pancakes and the blueberry muffins.
I could go on and on about the rest of Nutrisystems dishes but I'm making myself hungry ;- I enjoy eating all of Nutrisystems foods.
I do not think I have found a food that I did not like yet. Do not be afraid of having to give up eating great food because you're still goign to get great food with Nutrisystem. Nutrisystem is a great diet plan for anyone - especially men. I get to eat great food that is already prepared for me everyday. All I have to do is follow the basic directions for following the plan and eat the Nutrisystem foods.
The best part about the Nutrisystem plan is that I lost seven pounds since I started it a month ago. Nutrisystem also supplies its members with a member website.
The website helps individuals on the plan stay motivated. The website is a place where anyone who is on the plan can go for support. I enjoy logging onto the website and seeing the progress that I have made. I also enjoy reading inspiring stories from others on the Nutrisystem plan that have lost weight. Luckily though, Nutrisystem offers many different foods to choose from. Nutrisystem is also adding new food items to the menu all of the time.
Always good to keep the variety up. The Nutrisystem plans foods are also healthy. Nutrisystem has empowered me to lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle. As an added bonus, I now do allthe cooking for my girlfriend, which has really helped our love life. After all, who can't throw an extra dish int he microwave for 5 minutes? Give it a try guys and I expect your girlfriend will be just as happy as mine is.
I have lost 20 pounds in three months and haven't been exercising at all. Just like their marketing says, the plan really does allow you to eat healthy while losing weight. The foods are very easy to clean up when I am finished also.
Just throw the microwave safe container in the trash. What more could you ask for? I take my frozen lunch with me to work and I can get more work done while losing weight! The plan is also very simple to follow, just follow their instructions. Don't deviate by eating snickers bars, okay?! Stay away from those evil vending machines too! If you drink coffee, stop using creamer as I discovered I was drinking an extra calories a day in coffee creamer! The Nutrisystem plan is great for men who do not know how to cook and want to lose weight, feel healthier and eat healthier.
Since starting the diet, I've lost 20 pounds and have started feeling good about my body again, which has helped my love life significantly. My girlfriend can't keep her hands off of my new slimmer waist ;- She is so proud of me and she thinks I look great.
Who would have thought I could eat healthy food that I do not have to prepare that I actually like? I am a married man who needed to lose weight. My wife told me I should try Nutrisystem because I could lose weight while eating good tasting food. She also thought the plan sounded good because she would not have to cook special foods for me while I was dieting. I must say I am impressed with the Nutrisystem plan.
Nutrisystem says they deliver a simple program with great tasting foods to help you lose weight. Nutrisystem is not lying when they say this. Nutrisystems foods are delectable. I have never eaten healthy foods that tasted so good in all my life.
There are foods like buffalo wing pretzels, pulled pork wraps, cinnamon buns, pancakes and many other great tasting foods. The foods are not drab and boring like with Medifast which I tried last year. The foods are flavorful and delightful. I feel great and I am beginning to look great. My wife is enjoying the smaller me and I am enjoying the attention. Nutrisystem is a simple way to lose weight.
Fingers crossed I can keep it off when I go off of Nutrisystem. Nutrisystem is diet plan that allows a person to lose weight without having to think too much about it. I haven't tried any of the other plans, but I can tell you this, the basic plan is super easy to follow.

The first contestant on the Great British Bake Off has left the competition after breaking down over a Swiss roll.
Claire Goodwin, 31, said she became 'ridiculously worked up' over the cake and the pressure saw her burst into tears.
The fifth series of the culinary TV hit, with judges Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood, screened on BBC1 on Wednesday for the first time, having moved from BBC2 following its huge success.
Mrs Goodwin said: "Getting myself ridiculously worked up about the Swiss roll was my worst moment. Why did I cry about a cake?
"I don't know why I did, but at the time you feel very passionate about it, and everything is magnified and seems more important than it is.
"But in real life, it is just a Swiss roll, and I had a bit of a laugh about it afterwards.
"My friend has got a mug made especially for me with the words 'I don't know why I am crying about cake… Claire Goodwin'."
Mrs Goodwin, a speech and language therapist from Cheshire, said her best moment was 'pulling off' 36 chocolate cherry cakes even though they 'exploded' and the judges labelled them 'horrible'.
She is now looking forward to watching the Great British Bake Off from the comfort of her sofa.
Latest Stories
The latest series of the culinary TV hit has its youngest and oldest contestants, with 17-year-old Martha Collison combining baking with her AS-level exams and coursework, while 69-year-old Diana Beard is the oldest baker so far.
The series is presented by Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc.
Mrs Goodwin will be joining Jo Brand on The Great British Bake Off: An Extra Slice on Friday at 9pm on BBC Two.

Now this is a photoshoot of colossal and extreme proportions. The coordination, timing, equipment, and skill it would have taken to complete this kind of series is mind-boggling. Not to mention overcoming rough weather conditions and the general unpredictability that comes with a mountain setting. Yet Swiss photographer, Robert Bösch, managed to nail each of these challenges and make his photos look effortless.
In celebration of the 150th anniversary of the first ascent of the Matterhorn ridge in the Alps, a Swiss mountaineering equipment company approached Bösch about taking a unique photo to mark the occasion. The company, Bösch, … Read more

Girls track and field athletes from Germantown Academy, Germantown Friends, Penn Charter, and Springside Chestnut Hill Academy went on a jaunt to Langhorne's Neshaminy High School last Saturday to take part in the seventh annual Lady Skins Invitational. A total of 26 teams participated, all from Pennsylvania with the exception of Westwood High School, located near Paramus, NJ.
Sprinters from Springside Chestnut Hill Academy fared well overall. Freshman Brooklynn Broadwater finished third in the 200 meter dash in 25.65 seconds, one one-hundredth of a second behind Swenson High School senior Tichina Rhodes, the runner-up. Germantown Academy senior Kiernan McCloskey was 15th overall in the 200 at 27.50, and 19th, in 27.65, was another ninth-grader for the SCH Blue Devils, Julia Reeves.
Blue Devils senior Drew Davis was ninth overall in the 400 meters, in 1:01.46, and freshman Essence Walden placed 11th in the 100 meters in 13.41 seconds. In the 100, Penn Charter sophomore Carolyn Brady made it into the top 20, ranking 20th with her time of 13.84.
Broadwater, who just began hurdling in March, ran a time of 46.80 seconds to take fifth place in the 300 meter hurdles, where the class of the field was Westwood's Alex Cimino, in 44.34. GA senior Fran Sweeney was 14th overall in the 300 hurdles (51.67) and was 17th in the 100 meter hurdles (18.19).
Four of the Blue Devils linked up to snag ninth place in the 4 x 100 meter relay, clocking in at 53:28 with a line-up of Walden, freshman Singley Risico, and sophomores Kyra Jackson and Bridget Lipp. SCH had been seeded in the fastest heat of the 4 x 400 relay, along with current Pa. number one Swenson, but a mid-meet injury forced the Blue Devils to withdraw their "A" team.
Germantown Friends ran 20th in that relay with senior Lucy Guida, junior Alison Love, freshman Alice Wistar, and junior Sarah Alden (4:34.05). Springside Chestnut Hill was 23rd in 4:41.07 with Walden, Risico, senior Maddi Hinchey, and Jackson, and Penn Charter placed 25th with junior Margaux Losty, freshman Emily Smith, and seniors Katy Decker and Catie Skinner (4:43.58).
Germantown Friends has strong relay teams in the 4 x 800 meters and the distance medley this spring, but those athletes were given the weekend off in light of the upcoming Penn Relays and a major annual invitational at Henderson High School in West Chester.
Still, the Tigers placed 13th overall in the Lady Skins 4 x 800, with Guida, Wistar, sophomore Arielle Frank, and junior Nicoline Arlett wrapping it up in 10:57.50. GA and Penn Charter had their own internal battle as they ran in the same heat of this event, with the Patriots (freshmen Paige Kupsky and Shayne Cerebe, senior Emily Cannon, freshman Maggie Hallahan) coming in 18th in 11:06.82, while Charter (senior Rachel Morris, sophomores Sofia Toso and Maya Pressley, freshman McKenna Krall) finished 19th in 11:12.60.
In the regular 800 meter event, GA junior Kerry Lawlor justified her seeding in the premiere heat by taking second place overall in 2:18.47, less than two seconds behind the winner from Archbishop Carroll. Her senior sister, Bridie, was 22nd in 2:34.33, and in between them was SCH's Hinchey, who placed 18th in 2:31.09.
Running with one forearm in a cast, PC's Skinner was sixth in the 1600 meters (5:19.31), which was won in 5:04.51 by Pennsbury High's Sara Sargent, the defending PIAA Class AAA state champion. In 11th place in this strong field was Love of GFS, who was timed in 5:35.31. GA senior Maddie Stambaugh was 15th in 5:43.27, and coming in 20th in 5:50.49 was Cece Dye, another Germantown Friends runner.
In the 3200 meter run, PC's Pressley was 18th overall in 13:15.97.
Clearly, the best performer in the field events was GA's Megan McCloskey.
The junior tied the meet record in the high jump as she bounded over the bar at 5'6", and she won the long jump with a leap of 17'2.25". Older sister Kiernan was fourth in the high jump at 5'2", and she finished eighth in the triple jump by traveling 31'9.0".

A Congress divided: GOP holds House, but Dems fend off challenges in Senate
After months of furious campaigning by hundreds of candidates, Republicans failed to grab the Senate and Democrats couldn't make inroads in the House -- leaving the balance of power in Congress unchanged.
Republicans fell short Tuesday in their effort to win the Senate and take full control of Congress, losing practically every key race -- a series of frustrating losses two years after the party's gains in the midterm elections.
Democrats also fell short of their goal of picking up 25 House seats, which would have given them control of the 435-member chamber.
With President Obama securing a second term Tuesday night, he will continue to face a divided Congress for at least the next two years.
Rep. Paul Ryan, although losing Tuesday as Mitt Romney's vice presidential candidate, still won re-election to his Wisconsin congressional seat. House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio also won easily, and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor defeated Democratic challenger Wayne Powell to win a seventh term in Virginia's 7th District.
"I'm humbled to be trusted by Americans," House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said. "We will never let you down."
The final makeup of Congress was still unclear Wednesday morning, but the Democrats had secured at least 52 seats to Republicans' 44 in the Senate, while Republicans in the House had at least 224 seats and Democrats at least 171.
Republicans needed to win only a handful of Senate seats to take control of the upper chamber, a task they considered within reach after two years earlier winning over the House with the help of the fledgling but forceful Tea Party movement.
Yet two candidates with strong Tea Party ties unraveled and eventually lost close races this year after comments they made about rape and pregnancy.
In Missouri, Republicans made incumbent Sen. Claire McCaskill a primary target, trying to portray her as a rubberstamp for President Obama's spending.
However, challenger Rep. Todd Akin's controversial remark about rape and pregnancy this summer took away his support from national Republicans and more middle-of-the-road Missouri voters.
And in Indiana, Democrat Joe Donnelly defeated Tea Party-backed Republican Richard Mourdock in the race for the seat of longtime Republican Sen. Richard Lugar.
Mourdock upset Lugar in the primary but struggled in the general election after making his own controversial comments about rape that Democrats quickly used against him.
Thirty-three Senate seats were up for grabs Tuesday -- 23 for Democrats and 10 for Republicans.
One of the few Senate highlights for Republicans was in Arizona, where Rep. Jeff Flake defeated Democrat Richard Carmona for the open seat of retiring Republican Sen. Jon Kyl.
Harvard law professor Elizabeth Warren, a Democrat, defeated first-term Republican Sen. Scott Brown in heavily Democratic Massachusetts, resolving a race that was too close to call through much of the election cycle.
In Connecticut, Democratic Rep. Chris Murphy defeated Republican Linda McMahon, a former pro wrestling executive, for the open seat of retiring independent Sen. Joe Lieberman.
This marks the second Senate loss in two years for McMahon, who spent million on the races. Despite being a much-improved candidate since 2010, McMahon faced tough odds in the Democrat-leaning state.
In Florida, Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson won a third term, defeating Republican Rep. Connie Mack.
Democratic incumbent Bob Casey held on to his Senate seat in Pennsylvania. The first-term senator defeated Republican challenger Tom Smith.
The open Senate seat in Maine will be filled by independent candidate Angus King, who beat out Democrat Cynthia Dill and Republican Charlie Summers to take over the seat being vacated by retiring Sen. Olympia Snowe, a Republican. King is expected to caucus with Democrats.
In Virginia, Democrat Tim Kaine defeated Republican George Allen. The former governors were running for the open seat of outgoing Democratic Sen. Jim Webb.
Liberal Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent who caucuses with the Democrats, turned back a challenge by Republican John MacGovern.
In West Virginia, Sen. Joe Manchin, a Democrat who has distanced himself from Obama's restrictive coal regulations, defeated Republican challenger John Raese.

Olivier De Schutter and 21 independent experts of the Human Rights Council called for a 'double accountability' mechanism to underpin the sustainable development goals due to be set at the Rio+20 summit of 20-22 June.
"Global goals are easily set, but seldom met," the experts warned in an open letter to governments, raising the bar for what the conference can and should achieve. "A real risk exists that commitments made in Rio will remain empty promises without effective monitoring and accountability," they stressed on the eve of informal talks to kick-start the process.
The experts suggested that Rio+20 should establish an international accountability mechanism similar to the Human Rights Council's Universal Periodic Review, which subjects each country's human rights record to a State-led peer review, while national accountability mechanisms – involving civil society - should also be put in place.
"We must learn from the mistakes of the Millennium Development Goals and ensure that the new Sustainable Development Goals, and the means of reviewing them, are based on human rights from the start. Human rights must be the benchmark for whether or not inclusive, equitable and sustainable development is occurring," the independent experts said.
Olivier De Schutter also made specific proposals on food security, including how the future Council on Sustainable Development and the existing Committee on World Food Security (CFS) should interact.

A Primer on Website Stats
Business websites benefit from getting information about their visitors: where they came from, which pages they visited, how long they were on your site, etc. Extrapolating on this information can help you find ways to improve your website and its ability to positively impact your bottom line. For instance, if you see that all of your visitors are from upper Manhattan, maybe you need less advertising there and more in Brooklyn.
How Web Stats (Typically) Work
Numerous companies provide free tools to track your web statistics — the largest of which is Google®. Their tool, Google Site Analytics, works similarly to most others you'll run in to. Here's the rundown:
- Companies have you set up an account (this way they can funnel the information into the right place). They then provide you with a piece of JavaScript that has elements unique to your account.
- You place this unique JavaScript (hereafter referred to as "the script") in your website's pages'
section. We've got information on how to do this in the next section.
- Whenever somebody visits your website, the script sends their information to the Web stats company.
- The Web stats company aggregates the visitors' data for you and presents it to you.
Putting Web Stats on Your Web Pages
Once you have the script that's unique to your account, you need to put it on every Web page you need to track. This isn't too hard, we promise.
- Using your account's file editor, open one of your site's HTML pages.
- Locate the closing head tag, i.e.
- Directly in front of
, paste the script the Web stats company provided you.
- Save your changes.
- Repeat these steps for each page on your website until you've added the script to each one.
After putting the script on each page, most companies have a way of testing it to make sure you've done it correctly. Verify it's working and you'll start gathering data about who comes to your site.

Reality and the "Public Option"
The H.R. 3200 America's Affordable Health Choices Act, which is being touted by Democrats in Washington as a "public option" for uninsured Americans, has many provisions aimed at lowering the cost of health care by government decree.
Unfortunately, reality doesn't work that way, and the government cannot simply dictate prices to health and insurance providers without certain consequences. If you want to make a balloon smaller you can't do so by squeezing it. You'll just move the air around into different spaces.
Trying to squeeze the health care market to get more out of it will have the same result; it will only shift things around. Below are some micro-economic analyses of government policies and their effect on the price of health care. If you are unfamiliar with how to read these graphs, I have a short primer here.
The "Public Option" Creates Shortages
As the graph above illustrates, if Congress simply and crudely forces down the price of health care by dictating prices to health care providers from Washington, which is one of the provisions of H.R. 3200, the price will fall to a level at which supply does not meet demand.
There will be more people who want health care at that price than there will be suppliers, which is called a shortage. This is what opponents of the so-called "public option" mean when they say that it will cause long lines and rationed care. There will be lines for health care, there won't be enough to go around, and the government will start to ration it according to decisions and policies made by bureaucrats. Even Obama can't deny that his overhaul will change how Americans receive care.
U.K. / Canadian-Style Socialized Medicine
They will have to decide if your need is great enough, if you have suffered enough pain, if you are old enough, if you are young enough, or if your life is worth living enough to get the care you need. That's the tragic part of all this- the "public option" will actually result in less available care, as you can see from the decreased quantity supplied at the artificially lowered price.
This isn't just abstract theory and lines on a graph. You can see numerous empirical examples of this, among them, the "brain drain" experienced by countries like the U.K. and Canada that implement socialized medicine. Their supply of doctors decreases as those doctors move away to find more lucrative opportunities in non-single-payer countries like the United States.
Competition = More Affordable Care AND More Care
But there is a real solution that will drive down prices without diminishing quantity and creating a shortage. If we opened up the market for health insurance to real competition, it would change the dynamics at work on the supply-side because rival firms would have to keep prices competitive, shifting the supply curve itself.
What does that entail? One of the biggest impediments to a truly free and competitive health insurance market is the government-backed entanglement of employers with the provision of health insurance. In an interview I conducted with entitlements expert, Michael D. Tanner of the Cato Institute, he wrote:
"Employment-based insurance hides much of the true cost of health care to consumers, thereby encouraging over-consumption. It also limits consumer choice, since employers get the final say in what type of insurance a worker will receive."
Another major step toward opening up a free market of competition would be to allow people to buy health insurance across state lines. Quoting again from my interview with Tanner:
"Unfortunately, consumers are more or less held prisoner by their state's regulatory regime. It is illegal for [a] New Jersey resident to buy the cheaper health insurance in Kentucky. On the other hand, if consumers were free to purchase insurance in other states, they could in effect 'purchase' the regulations of that other state."
Remember, as I noted above and demonstrated on the graph, by allowing true competition to occur, we end up shifting the supply curve itself, which causes the desires of suppliers and consumers to meet at a different price level, a lower price level, creating more affordable health care without creating a shortage and the consequent lines, waiting, and rationing.
This method not only makes health care more affordable, it actually results in more health insurance. It creates more quantity in the market for health insurance, meaning more people are covered and truly have access to health care. And who knows- more competition might just result in better quality too.
But before that can happen we must make sure that enough of our Congressman oppose the "public option" to defeat it like we did in 1994- which means melt those switchboards!

Fotog vs. Feds in Obscenity Law: Files suit to keep photos on Web
by Veronica Vera
New York Daily News, July 15, 2002
Photographer Barbara Nitke is used to being behind the lens, but if legal matters heat up, she may soon find the government focusing on her.
Nitke is ready to step into the foreground as the chief plantiff in Barbara Nitke and the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom vs. John Ashcroft and the US Government in a challenge to the Communications Decency Act, which governs obscenity on the Internet.
The lawsuit was filed on Dec. 11 in Manhattan Federal Court of New York; the government moved to dismiss, and the plaintiffs have moved for an injunction.
The case continues to make its way through the courts.
Nitke, whose photo show "20 Years" opened on Friday at the Art at Large Studio in Manhattan, began her career in 1982 as a still photographer on movie sets.
But since 1994, her emphasis has been on chronicling the intimate lives of couples. She has gained a considerable reputation as a fine-art photographer and is on the faculty of the School of Visual Arts.
Photojournalist Mark Peterson, who attended the packed opening, commented, "There is a beauty and ethereal quality to her work that forces people to look at it in a different way than they might have when they walked into the room." He compared her work with that of Robert Mapplethorpe, who stirred controversy with his erotic photos.
Nitke's involvement in the civil liberties lawsuit began when she decided to create a website on which to show and sell her work. Aware that her photographs are highly provocative, she consulted several lawyers regarding obscenity laws, only to discover that under the Communications Decency Act, obscenity is a gray area determined by community standards.
A 1997 Supreme Court ruling struck down half of the act, the "indecency" section, when it determined that if a work is indecent but still can be found to have redeeming social value, it can be displayed in public. But the "obscenity" portion of the act still stands. Among the lawyers Nitke consulted was John Wirenius, legal counsel for the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom.
The members of the coalition, "a national organization committed to protecting freedom of expression among consenting adults," were also concerned about obscenity statutes and decided to pursue a proactive stance and challenge the law. They asked Nitke to be the plaintiff because, as Wirenius said, "We wanted to make clear that under the current law, a serious artist whose work is sexually explicit and controversial could be prosecuted."
The tactic proposed by the coalition to sue the government to either define or eliminate the obscenity law appealed to Nitke, who said she believed, "Why wait to respond to trouble if you can nip trouble in the bud?"
Barbara Nitke's "20 years" can be seen through August 3 at Art at Large, located in the Film Center, 630 Ninth Ave. Hours are Tuesday through Friday, 1pm to 6pm and Saturday and Sunday by appointment.

Dr. Kevin Dutton conducted a national 'psychopath survey' of the UK. Over 2.5 million people have taken part and found out for themselves.
Psychopathic traits can lead to success in life. Everyone has psychopathic characteristics to some degree. Take the test to get a general idea of where you sit on the spectrum.
You rarely catch me making any plans, I'm far too spontaneous.
I'd have no problem cheating on my partner if I knew I could get away with it.
If I got a better offer, I wouldn't mind cancelling long-standing plans.
I don't get bothered by seeing animals injured or in pain.
It would be fun to drive fast cars, ride rollercoasters and go skydiving.
I think it's OK to step over other people to achieve my own ambitions.
I'm very persuasive, and getting people to do what I want is a real talent of mine.
My ability to make quick decisions means I would suit a dangerous job.
When the people around me are crumbling under pressure, I'm the one with a cool head.
If someone gets conned who cares? They're asking for it.
I'm rarely to blame for things going wrong; it's usually the fault of the people around me.

Andy McNab… Good Psychopath.
A couple of years ago psychology expert Kevin Dutton invited SAS hero Andy McNab to a laboratory to take a Clockwork Orange style personality test. The results were revealing. Follow their conversation on Twitter as Andy talks about discovering his psychopathic nature and Kevin explains the science of being a Good Psychopath.
All psychopaths are bad?
Contrary to popular belief, not all psychopaths are bad. So you needn't worry if your test score is high. However, if you got a low score you might be lacking some of the traits that enable Good Psychopaths to succeed in life.
What is a good psychopath?
And how can thinking like one help you to be the best that you can be?
Dr. Kevin Dutton has spent a lifetime studying psychopaths. He first met former SAS hero Andy McNab during a research project. What he found surprised him. McNab is high on the psychopath spectrum but he is a GOOD PSYCHOPATH. Unlike a BAD PSYCHOPATH, he is able to dial up or down qualities such as ruthlessness, fearlessness, conscience and empathy to get the very best out of himself – and others – in a wide range of situations.
Drawing on the combination of Andy McNab's wild and various experiences and Dr. Kevin Dutton's expertise in analysing them, together they have explored the ways in which a good psychopath thinks differently and what that could mean for you. What do you really want from life, and how can you develop and use qualities such as charm, coolness under pressure, self-confidence and courage to get it? The Good Psychopath's Guide to Success gives you a unique and entertaining road-map to self-fulfilment both in your personal life and your career.

Bilingual thoughts on life, language, learning, and all things Latina.

and the cardinals' daily visit
your favorite coffee mug and the spot on the counter for your vitamins
your sturdy wooden table in the sunniest room –
vibrant green hanging plants at every window
your laundry room and pantry where you've established order and plenty
your notebooks and pens, ready to create, your office wall of picture frames
your bookshelves, waiting
your dog, begging for attention, and your cat, rubbing up against your legs
your own mashed-up squishy pillow
and the old comforter that feels like silk on your feet
your side of the bed
your night stand and about-to-topple-over stack of books
your small lamp and the click at the end of your day.

Paradise is nice for a while, but there's not place like home ...

Yes, that summarizes your home and how you feel for it. It is your own domain and your room is your inner sanctum. Everything in your house describes your life, from your husband to your son to your dog and cat and from all the little nooks and crannies in your house. It makes you the way you are. Thanks for painting your home in your poem. I really appreciate that. God bless you and your fasmily always.

A comforting poem. My cozy classroom would fit into my version since that's where I am now that school has started. Thanks for sharing.
