Health care
Health services in Palestine are moulded on Israeli health services, and are of good quality, but the quantity is still less than what is necessary. All Palestinians have easy access to health services, but this is mostly because of the short distances in the Palestinian territories.
Gaza Strip and the West Bank have indepdent health care systems, causing duplication of services and increased costs. Only 2 out of 3 patients from the Gaza Strip referred to hospitals in West Bank receive permission to travel from Israeli side.
In the last 3 months of 2000, Israel blocked off roads between all cities and villages, making it difficult for many people to access health services.
Doctor density is very different between Gaza Strip and West Bank. Whereas there are 2.4 doctors to 1000 inhabitants on Gaza Strip, there are only 0.8 in West Bank. Also, considering that moving around West Bank is far more complicated than on the Gaza Strip, there is a dramatic difference here.
Many Palestinians receive specialized health treatment abroad, now in particular in Egypt and Jordan. Since January 2009, the Palestinian Authority stopped covering all expenses with medical care for Palestinians in Israeli hospitals, as a form of retaliation after the Israeli military offensive in the Gaza Strip.
Hardship upon Palestinian territory has caused a deterioration of the primary health care network. UNRWA has since 2007 increased its activities to meet the need of Palestinians.
Restrictions on movement represents hardship for many in West Bank, those not living immediately near a health station or hospital.
Health conditions and diseases
In recent years, many Palestinians have lost satisfactory access to clean water and sanitation. 66% are not connected to a sewage network.
Palestine has a very high rate of malnutrition, affected 16% of the population.
About 10% of the population suffers from at least one dignosed chronic disease. Life styles in Palestine are generally unhealthy, with much tobacco smoking, little activity and unhealthy diet.
Immunization in Palesine is at an eccelent level, reaching 99% of the target groups. Hepatitis is a problem, whereas tuberculosis is very rare. Palestine is reported with a record-low rate AIDS, in 2009 only 3 or 4 cases.
Mental problems is higher in Palestine than the rest of the Middle East, passivity, sadness and feeling of fear and anxiety are very common. Research state that 51% of children do not want to participate in any activity, fear affects 61% and sadness 96% of the whole population.

Nivea's 100-Year Celebration in Grand Central Station
Nivea Celebrates 100 Years With a "House" in Grand Central Station
Nivea Celebrates 100 Years With a "House" in Grand Central Station
In honor of its 100th anniversary, Nivea has taken over Vanderbilt Hall at NYC's Grand Central station for a special pop-up. Called "Nivea's 100 Year House," the space was designed to look like a tin of its world-famous cream. There's plenty to keep one busy during a few free moments, from its interactive "skin education station," where you can test your skin's moisture and elasticity levels, to a "journey through the years" station that looks back at the packaging and ads of yesteryear.
The brand's celebrity pals were in evidence around the exhibit. Giuliana Rancic, who worked with Nivea on its 2010 New Year's celebration, was on hand to celebrate the opening. Rihanna, the voice of Nivea's latest campaign, was on display on special collector's tins. You can even take a photo in a special booth and have yourself superimposed next to Rihanna. For that, samples, and more, check out Nivea's booth in Grand Central, which is open until Friday.

I was trying to understand RSA when I encountered the Euler Function. I do understand this: $\phi(P)$, where $P$ is a prime is $P-1$.
However it seems that for a number $N$ such at $N=P\cdot Q$ where $P$ and $Q$ are non-equal primes:
\begin{equation} \phi(P\cdot Q) = (P-1)\cdot(Q-1) \end{equation}
I'm having trouble understanding why that is so. Could someone point me toward the proof of the same?

Selecting winners was an incredibly difficult task, as every entry was thoughtful, creative and articulate. It's clear that Vital Choice customers are an extremely bright lot—the essays were some of the most direct evidence we've seen linking fish consumption and brain power!
Congratulations to the winners:
1st Prize: Susan Eliason
2nd Prize: Judy Gorfain
3rd Prize: Nina Holly
These are the winners, starting with Susan Eliason's energetic essay:
Vital Choice: Aahh-fishally My New Favorite Energy Source
By Susan Eliason
Snappp! went the lid off my first can of Vital Choice Alaskan Salmon. Onto my waiting plate it went, all 3.75 ounces, along with some freshly cleaned spinach and chopped red onion.
"This is the day I embark on my voyage to better health," I murmured to no one in particular as I squeezed a modest shot of Thousand Island dressing on the side and a squirt of lime over the whole thing for good measure.
"Here's to you, Andrew Weil," I continued, raising a forkful of my piquant concoction in honor of the good doctor who greets me each day with his tip for better living. It took a while, but I finally got that he wants me to eat more salmon—real Alaskan salmon. The artificially colored, pen-bred, pellet-fed variety they try to bait me with at the warehouse store just doesn't cut it any more.
What happened after I finished my savory, guilt-free lunch surprised even me.
I graded papers, changed a tire
Cleaned my pantry, fixed the dryer;
Purged a closet, baked a squash
Dusted, vacuumed, did the wash—
Stopped a quarrel, made a call,
Helped a neighbor, cruised the mall,
Took apart the family room
Put it back, and then—vroom, vroom—
Sat in something of a quandary
Thinking, as I folded laundry,
"Every task is such a snap!
How come I don't want a nap?"
Actually, it came as no surprise that my noon refueling selection had propelled me upstream with agility and stamina all afternoon and beyond. I've known for years that I feel much better when I include regular helpings of high-quality fish on the menu. Problem is, I'm a creature of convenience—and, till now, finding a grabbable single serving of tasty seafood has been anything but convenient.
And in a day when many Americans are drowning in fast food options that pack on fat and promote disease, what a treasure I've found in Vital Choice! Here's a slowly and carefully produced but quickly accessed treat that not only delights the palate but also strengthens and streamlines my body. It's aptly named, too. Vital contains both life-giving and essential connotations. Choice reflects my ability to select what I want—and who doesn't love to choose?
It's an hour until bed now, just enough time to tackle that disorganized basement and eliminate some of the debris that's been floating around for so long down there. First, though, a final couplet in my poetic tribute to a delicious new source of joie de vivre:
I've sailed through this day at the top of my voice;
And I'm still not done shouting—Ahoy, Vital Choice!
Vital Salmon, My Choice for Every Season (and every seasoning)
By Judy Gorfain
The World is a snow globe—soft fat flakes drift toward evening on a late January afternoon, gathering in the hollows of angel wings on a snowy hillside. I start with Vital Choice canned salmon; add buttery fresh breadcrumbs, translucent bits of minced onion, a sprinkle of sea salt, a grind of pepper, and an egg with an organic pedigree. Sometimes I bless the mixture with fresh herbs, sometimes not. I sizzle the cakes gently to a golden brown. My favorite Sunday night supper.
Pale and tender green shoots, soft blue blossoms opening under gentle April rain. Wild asparagus stalked along a country road, a wild salmon filet simply roasted under shallots and feathery dill—a perfect pair for a romantic Spring dinner for the two of us.
Summer on a plate. Chilled Salmon straight from the can, spilled onto a tangle of baby greens—a squeeze of lemon, a scatter of tiny black olives. I add a crusty baguette and something sparkly to drink. We watch the sun set over the harbor from the side porch.
Bright yellow, russet, magenta, tawny gold leaves and the windblown fluff of milkweed seeds. Sumac, pumpkins, Bittersweet berries. The Autumn glint of salmon leaping through rainbows of cold spray, on their way upstream. Halloween treats, costumes and parties. We dip into spicy salmon mousse, festive and delicious.
Thank you for simply superb Salmon. I can't wait to try all of your other products. I love being inspired.
Saved by Vital Choice
By Nina Holly
Vital Choice salmon saved my life not once but twice in the last couple of years! It was my first year at law school, and the stress was terrible. Between the looming exams, intimidating professors and intense competition for grades, I found myself utterly fatigued and frazzled. Like many of my female classmates, I reached for tasty carbohydrate snacks to energize and reward myself; chocolate chip cookies, Danish pastries and croissants were all on the daily menu.
After a few weeks of this, my expanding waistline and my low energy levels were sad testimony to my poor eating habits. In addition to being stressed out, I was chubby and tired.
Luckily, my boyfriend, a long-time seafood lover and devoted Vital Choice fan, intervened. "Fish is brain food," he explained. He also tactfully mentioned that a well-balanced diet with lots of fish was helpful to people struggling with their weight (he wisely did not mention any names), as evidenced in popular diets such as the Perricone Prescription.
The following week, he showed up at my apartment with an armful of salmon—lots of bright red cans and a few scrumptious-looking salmon fillets. I was skeptical at first, knowing my deep love for bagels and donuts, but agreed to eat red salmon at least once per day as my boyfriend suggested.
Fast forward through three months of Vital Choice salmon, I had lost my "freshman fifteen" and found I had mental and physical energy enough to spare! The best part was, I never got tired of eating red salmon—I still eat it daily and it shows.
The Vital Choice salmon saga was not yet over: later that year, a few of my classmates and I were in charge of cooking a fancy dinner at an end-of-term party hosted by one of our professors, who was known to be something of a gourmand. We had put together a lovely menu, but could not agree on the main course. I had advocated for a salmon dish (surprise!), but my suggestion was outvoted in favor of a Thai chicken meal.
When the evening of the party arrived, I was helping set up the table, when I suddenly smelled something burning. I rushed into the kitchen, where the Thai chicken was turning black, and the person in charge was nowhere to be seen! There were only a couple of hours remaining, and the chicken was ruined.
As luck would have it, my boyfriend stored a goodly-sized red salmon filet in the freezer that he had bought for another upcoming group dinner. I brushed the filet with some olive oil, added a few spices and quickly slipped it in the oven.
The dinner was a grand success—our discerning professor was delighted with the meal and complimented the cooking team on their efforts. The change from chicken to fish was only known by a few select individuals, and I believe that the meal turned out even better than it would have with the Thai chicken (My boyfriend did have to buy another fillet of red salmon, though).
Thank you, life-saving Vital Choice salmon!

Australia has a refugee problem. Every year thousands of would-be asylum seekers pay smugglers to ferry them by boats to Australia.
Many die trying to make the illegal journey.
It has been a hugely divisive issue in Australia and Monday Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard endorsed a plan to re-open a controversial detention center on the island nation of Nauru and on Manus Island, in Papua New Guinea. Opposition politicians quickly endorsed the proposal, clearing all the hurdles for off-shore processing to begin.
According to Australian media reports, Australian soldiers were to be dispatched as early as Friday to Nauru to establish tent cities where refugees could be housed while their asylum applications are heard. More permanent accommodations are planned, but Gillard expressed concern that any delay could serve to increase the flood of refugees.
''I am concerned people smugglers might try to exploit this window,'' she said to the Sydney Morning Herald. ''The sooner this is legislated the better.''
Gillard said she expected the facility on Nauru to be open within a month.
The initial facilities will be expected to hold as many as 2100 people, the Herald Sun reported.
Building the facilities will cost about A$530 and operations are expected to cost about A$1.8 billion.
This isn't the first time Australia has tried to operate an off-shore refugee processing scheme. Under a previous government, refugees were also processed on Nauru, but critics said that turned into more of a prison than a refugee processing site.
The new plan also eliminates a Gillard policy of allowing individuals that are granted asylum from bringing other families to Australia to reunite with them.
Some 300 asylum seekers have drowned as Australia has struggled to get a handle on its immigration policy.

With corridors made of bamboo, a roof layered with flowering sedum plants and buildings named after Mario, Donkey Kong, Yoshi and Wario, Nintendo's new Redmond headquarters sounds every bit as fanciful as the games the publisher makes.
The 300,000-square-foot-building sits on a 10-acre site on the Nintendo campus, home to most of the Japanese company's U.S. staff which busy themselves with the business of video games, translating and maintaining Nintendo's U.S. online servers.
Nintendo's U.S. base includes an employee cafeteria called Cafe Mario and a conference room names the Master Sword, according to TechFlash.com.
"Hopefully this new building will help (employees) to be even more creative and productive, and continue to put smiles on the faces of our consumers," said Satoru Iwata, Nintendo's president, who flew in from Japan for the opening ceremony, attended by Gov. Chris Gregoire and other dignitaries, including Mario and Luigi.

Coonabarabran firies praise Valley Rural Fire crews
AFTER spending several days on high alert in sweltering daytime temperatures throughout the Clarence Valley, local RFS volunteers have joined more than 200 firefighters from across NSW in Coonabarabran to help local crews contain a bushfire burning in the Warrumbungle National Park.
Brian Williams, RFS Clarence Valley operations officer said the firefighters who are assisting communities are demonstrating great camaraderie.
"Many crews have been busy containing and controlling fires in the Clarence Valley," he said.
"To volunteer on their time off to assist other communities in need shows how dedicated these people are and the level they will go to to help."
Scott Campbell, senior deputy captain of the Lawrence fire brigade arrived in Coonabarabran yesterday.
He said he was glad to offer assistance.
"In the RFS we all pitch in and help one another. Most of us will be strengthening containment lines to protect properties from the bushfire," he said.
A spokesman for RFS Media said the local crews are praising the efforts of assisting crews.

I'm not sure where this post goes, so mods, if this isn't the right forum, please move the thread.
Check out the image -A man suspected of sexually abusing children was publicly unmasked last Monday when Interpol successfully unscrambled images of his face. Crops of the scrambled and unscrambled images were posted to Interpols website, along with a public plea for help, as all police efforts at identifying him thus far have failed.
Working from the original images found on the internet, specialists from the Bundeskriminalamt, or Germanys Federal Criminal Police Office were able to successfully reverse what appears to be Photoshops twirl distortion tool, using unspecified methods. Techniques are always developing. What is impossible today is possible tomorrow, said Anders Persson, the Swedish police officer in charge of overseeing Interpols child abuse image database.

Asche a 'better' player for time on bench
PHOENIX -- Cody Asche is still trying to find his hitting stroke, with a .192 average going into Friday's game. The young third baseman came off the bench for the first three games in Los Angeles before returning to the starting lineup on Thursday, and Friday at Arizona.
"Part of this game that's so tough is the mental part," Asche said. "It's a learning process. Growing up as a baseball player, you've got to learn how to handle those things. When they do come your way, you've got to find the positives in the situation. I got a chance to work and help the team coming off the bench. I'm a better baseball player because of it, regardless of what happens in the next five games, 10 games, five years."
Asche doesn't put much stock in his previous numbers at Chase Field, 5-for-11 in three games. He said coming off the bench requires paying close attention to the game from the middle innings on and going over the pinch-hitting and defensive situations in his mind.
"It's getting there," he said of his hitting.
Asche led off the ninth inning in Los Angeles on Thursday with a single and came around to score to break a 3-3 tie in the Phillies' four-run rally.
"He made an excellent defensive play at third base. Played a big part in getting the W," Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said. "It's a game that could really get him going, I think."

DENVER (AP) – Michelle Ebert played basketball, volleyball, tennis and softball in high school. But she gained weight after college while building her career with a firm that helps other companies manage customer service, often working 14-hour days.
Ebert lost weight twice with a diet program only to regain the pounds later. A new wellness program promoted by her employer prompted her to try again. Two years later, Ebert, 40, has lost 80 pounds, and she no longer needs to take two pills she once took for high blood pressure.
Ebert, director of a Morgantown, W.V., center for Colorado-based TeleTech Holdings Inc., credits a companywide emphasis on wellness for helping her stick to her fitness program. Co-workers also started living healthier and asking her how she lost the weight.
"The more people you have to pat you on the back and they've noticed a difference, the more motivated you are," she said.
Companies are increasingly looking at wellness programs to cut rising health care costs, said Lisa Walvoord, vice president of policy for LiveWell Colorado. Some programs ban smoking at the workplace or provide financial incentives to go to the gym. Various studies have shown the programs can improve employees' fitness and lower costs, Walvoord said.
"The downside is in most programs, a small percentage of employees take advantage of them," said University of Colorado School of Medicine professor James Hill, who co-founded the America on the Move initiative aimed at preventing unhealthy weight gains.
"Oftentimes the people who take advantage are the people who are doing the right thing anyway. It's an area we're interested in working on: how to get more employees interested," Hill said.
Employer-offered wellness programs tend to work better when top managers are involved and the company culture encourages participation, Hill said.
TeleTech founder Kenneth Tuchman values health and wellness, and the company is rolling out its wellness program around the world, said Rachel Kanack, Teletech's vice president of benefits and compensation. In the Philippines, as in the U.S., the program's activities include a popular weight-loss competition. Other activities focus on mental and financial well-being.
Teletech says that among employees who had biometric screenings in 2010, about 75 percent were obese and 34 percent were pre-diabetic. Among program participants last year, 68 percent were obese, and 18 percent were pre-diabetic, the company said.
TeleTech's health care costs have been flat due to several factors, including fewer emergency room visits, fewer health claims and changes in the design of health plans, Kanack said.
"The goal year over year is to make the program self-funding," she said.
LiveWell Colorado's goal is to make the healthy choice the easy choice at workplaces, where employees spend significant chunks of time. In its own office, hand weights lie around for people to lift during meetings. The snack room holds fruit, not candy.
Some companies have added walking trails or even slowed down elevators to make it quicker to take the stairs, Walvoord said.
At TeleTech, where many employees spend hours sitting, Ebert has been able to get discounts on her medical insurance premiums and earn monetary incentives for working with a wellness coach. She also joined a gym on her own. Ebert guesses she has saved around $400 annually through the wellness program.

Rickenbacker 366 featuring this cunning mechanism to switch between 6-string and 12-string playing. I've seen similarly equipped Rickenbackers before, but never before have I seen the same mechanism on this model of guitar, the above-pictured Rickenbacker 456 6/12 Convertible. I don't think the mechanism looks quite as awful on this model as it does on the 366, but still I can't help being reminded of a very pretty girl who has to wear corrective braces to allow her teeth to grow straight.
This particular Rickenbacker 456 6/12 Convertible is from 1968, is finished in "Mapleglo", and is currently available for sale via Vintage and Rare with a price of €2800.

Strawberry Lime Basil Sherbet
August 25, 2010 was a very special day in our lives. Very special. I remember everything so clearly. The blue skies, birds chirping, bright sun shining its rays down on us… the knock on the door by the delivery guy. I will never forget that day – the day that our ice cream maker arrived at our doorstep. I remember feeling excited – I would finally be able to make a dessert that Seth would love. He never had much of a sweet tooth, except when it came to ice cream. And I felt powerful – the ability to make this sweet treat was now in my control – take that milk and cream! Of course, once I realized I would have to wait a day to make ice cream, because the bowl of the ice cream maker has to be chilled, I was super disappointed. Ever since its initiation by freezer, however, it has been one of the most beloved appliances in our kitchen. I can't even remember what life was like without it. Our most recent concoction is this strawberry lime basil sherbet. I wanted to take this fruit salad, whose flavors worked so well together, and make it into a cold ice cream treat. It tastes fruity, yet unique, and is just perfect for summer.
½ cup sugar
¼ cup water
1/2 cup chopped basil
1 quart strawberries, hulled and chopped
3 cups milk
3 -4 tablespoons lime juice
1 ½ teaspoon lime zest
To make the basil syrup: Place sugar, water, and basil in small pot. Gently boil until the sugar has dissolved, about 8 minutes. Take off heat and strain out the basil. Chill.
To make the sherbet: Use a blender (I used my trusty immersion blender) to puree the strawberries, milk, basil syrup, lime juice, and lime zest together. Churn in ice cream maker according to manufacturer's directions. I find that this doesn't freeze particularly well, so if you do freeze it, you may want to take out the sherbet 20 minutes before you serve.

Let me begin with YUM! I read your post/recipe and promptly put my ice cream maker in the freezer (it's the kind that doesn't use salt and ice, but has to spend some time in the freezer before using it). I love the flavor combination of this sherbet and can't wait to try this. Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
I am imagining in my mind how refreshing this must be!!! YUM!!!ReplyDelete

Yacolt Burn Trails Update
We are getting very close to starting to build 4x4 trails in the Yacolt Burn and I wanted to take a minute to provide some updates.
The SEPA process is complete, public and agency comments have been responded to and we have received our final determination notice. The last piece of red tape we are waiting for is permits from Clark County. Originally, we were not going to need to go through the county, but since the Reiter area project raised such an uproar with the public, we were forced to pursue yet another layer of approval prior to moving forward with our project in the Yacolt Burn. Hence - additional delays...
To date, Pistons Wild Motorsports has raised over $25,000 for the Yacolt Burn Trails Fund. That money has been safely tucked away awaiting the approval to dig in and start building trails and will ONLY be used for the building of 4x4 trails - nothing else. Any attempts to build and sustain a trail system without funding in place and continuing to be generated can sometimes spell demise for a system before it even gets opened. Grant writing and fund raising events for 2012-2013 are already in full swing to ensure that we will have the financial backing to continue to build and maintain these 4x4 trails.
In addition, in cooperation with Hannah Jeep Dealership and the Don't Fear the Jeeper show - $7,200 has been placed in a "rock fund" with a local rock pit to be used as needed. NOVA has graciously awarded DNR a grant for the Yacolt Burn in the amount of $172,800 for (2) bridges and (30) culverts for water crossings in Phase I for the motorized trails. Phase I is approximately 12 miles of 4x4 trails for the total 35 miles planned for this area. That is just over $200,000 of hard earned fund raising and grants to help to build these trails and to maintain and sustain them down the road for many years to come...
ALL of the user groups (motorized AND non-motorized) in SW Washington have been deeply involved since the beginning of this planning process and we have their full support in moving forward with 4x4 trails. They recognize and support the need for 4x4 trails in the Yacolt Burn and have actually provided letters of support for NOVA grants for 4x4 trails.
Last weekend, June 23rd, Pistons Wild members and applicants performed Forest Watch Patrol in cooperation with DNR Law Enforcement and on Sunday, June 24th, we were up in the Yacolt Burn clearing brush and laying out areas in preparation of expected upcoming 4x4 trail work parties. We cannot "turn dirt" until the permits from Clark County have been issued.
We originally had another 4x4 trails preparation (clearing brush and trail layout) work party scheduled for Saturday, June 30th - but late Friday afternoon we had to change gears to respond to some illegal 4x4 trails being created in the Yacolt Burn.
These trails are being cut in by those who just don't seem to care about the forest and certainly don't care about the effort to open legal 4x4 trails in the Yacolt Burn. Every time somone builds a new illegal trail - they are directly responsible for delaying the opening of legal trails for everyone. All illegal trails have to be blocked off and decommissioned before we can open new trails. This continued illegal activity takes us away from prepping for and building new trails and is a huge waste of time, money and resources. If you know of someone STILL out there wheeling illegally in SW Washington - please ask them to stop!
We started off very early Saturday morning (headed up to the Burn at 6:30am) with a small crew to address an illegal access off the paved road leading up to 4 corners. We only took a skeleton crew for this effort (Douglas Seal, Ryan Wells, Darel Crowder and myself) to minimize the number of vehicles parked on pavement while we worked on this project.
The guys were super quick getting the excavator off-loaded and working away - I almost missed my chance for a "before" picture. Special thanks to Sunbelt rentals for making us a great deal on the excavator even though we were asking at the last minute (Friday afternoon). Thanks to Ryan Wells for making the arrangements.
Smoothing out the 4x4 tracks and filling in the mud hole.
Relocating some scrub foliage from nearby to close off the access.
Doing our very best to give these shrubs a chance at life in their new home.
A little bit more foliage and some cover on the ground to finish the project. NOW it's up to the off-road community to respect the forest and let this area heal.
The early bird crew made lightening quick time of the first project so we headed down to the main task for the day almost 1 hour ahead of schedule. Nice job guys!
Somebody is a morning person.
No burning daylight with this crew - had to hollar at Darel to stop so I could get the "before" pictures.
Getting materials lined out and making plans for the fence. We found Daryl Keenan at 4 Corners on our way by - one full hour early (had a late night - so drove to 4 Corners and slept in his Jeep to make sure he didn't miss the work party). I have some of the best volunteers you can ever imagine!
Getting busy digging post holes.
Trail Operations Manager, Darel Crowder, coming in for the final inspection.
9:00am reinforcements arrive in time to start bolting on the fence rails and get going on replanting the area.
Club applicants Annell Morgan and Katie Carpenter make quick work of cleaning up the spur road across from the project area - lots of garbage and construction debris left there and two big illegal fire pits. Meanwhile Keith Watson starts to locate some good candidates for replanting across the road and Daryl Keenan finds some abandoned tires.
The fence is in and looking good! The guys tackling the replanting efforts both in front of and behild the fence. Ideally, the plan would be to protect the area and then allow the area to heal itself. Final step (in a year or two) would be to go back in and remove the fence. There is no need to leave anything unnatural in the forest that doesn't serve a purpose...
Bill Hutchens rocking the replanting effort behind the fence while Darel Crowder brings in the blocking debris. I never captured a picture of him - but Joey Verpoorten was out in the forest digging plants and shrubs for Bill to plant in this area.
More debris for behind the fence.
These guys mean business - KEEP OUT!
We had a great turnout for today - a quick water break for some. Annell Morgan bringing donor ferns for the replanting in front of the fence.
No rest for the wicked here. Oh - and don't be fooled by Keith standing there with the shovel. See that red face - I know he replanted more ferns than anyone else - we'll call him the "Fern Whisperer" - it's almost like they were cooperating with him.
Applicants Annell Morgan and Katie Carpenter finding more donor plants for the guys to plant. One of the few "non-blurry" pics of these two gals I captured because they were constantly on the move - all day long!
The humidity was ridiculous today and the bugs were overly active - but everyone just kept after it. Excellent team work all around...
Quick lunch break to keep the energy levels going.
DNR LEO, Scott, stopping by to check on us...
Loading up the excavator - no more dirt work for today.
Found another little area that needed some love on our way out. Looks more like an illegal ATV trail - but since we're here - we'll go ahead and close it down...
Applicant Keith "Fern Whisperer" Watson sharing his fern wisdom with Dustin Braaten. My favorite line from the day was from Dustin right after he patted the dirt around a fern he just planted;
Joey Verpoorten getting in on the fern planting and more blurry pictures of Katie and Annell.
Not perfect - but we laid down alot of debris behind the ferns so hopefully that will deter any access and let the plants grow in.
Tommy and Amanda had to work Saturday morning, but that didn't stop them from coming out to join us for the afternoon. A great group of people doing great things in the Yacolt Burn...
Missing from the picture above: Douglas Seal, Daryl Keenan and me (Crystal Crowder)
Darel and I had the pre-work party getting everything prepped and loaded for Saturday, then we have the actual work party and this is the post-work party. Whenever we get equipment from Sunbelt it has to be cleaned up and re-fueled to ensure they will continue to help us out in the future.
All of the Pistons Wild trail gear layed out for cleaning and will need to be wiped down and stored for the next event.
Darel will return the excavator early Monday morning and then get started on his regularly scheduled work week.
Thanks again to everyone that came out today - your efforts are greatly appreciated by Darel and I and these projects only help to secure our future access to the Yacolt Burn State Forest and cement our reputation as good stewards of the land on which we recreate...
We logged 145 volunteer hours for this project and everyone will be receiving vouchers towards their free discover passes. I'm not certain which grant these hours will go to yet - but I will post up when I find out.
Thank you to everyone in the PNW4WDA who have virogously supported our efforts in the Yacolt Burn. We hope to be able to invite you all into the forest soon to join us in building these much anticipated 4x4 trails and then in celebrating returning public land access to the 4x4 community in SW Washington. It has been over 20 years since 4x4's have had access to legal recreation in this corner of the state and we are so honored to have had the opportunity to bring these lands back to to the 4x4 community...

- "We are honour-bound to give service to the present Headmaster of Hogwarts! Shame on you, Phineas!"
- —Dippet's portrait scorning Phineas Nigellus Black.[src]
Professor Armando Dippet (October, 1637[1]—1956[2]) was Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and the predecessor of Albus Dumbledore in the post. He was a "nearly bald and a somewhat feeble" man in his elderly years.
Dippet served as Headmaster in the 1940s at least. It was during his tenure that the Chamber of Secrets was first opened by Tom Riddle since its creation by Salazar Slytherin in around A.D. 993. Unknowingly, Dippet was indirectly responsible for the end of the attacks by telling Riddle that the school would have to be closed if said attacks continued. Dippet was also responsible for the expulsion of Rubeus Hagrid after Riddle framed him with the attacks.
Following his death in 1956, his portrait was hung in the headmaster's office, and Dumbledore succeeded him.
Early life
Armando Dippet was born in October 1637.[1] At some point prior to his magical education, he purchased or inherited his wand.[5]
It is possible that he attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, being Sorted in 1649. If so, he must have been sorted into Gryffindor, Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw.[4]
It is also probable that he had high O.W.L. and N.E.W.T. grades, as he later became Headmaster of Hogwarts, most likely succeeding Newton Scamander, a famed Magizoologist.
As Headmaster of Hogwarts
Early years
Professor Dippet became Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the early twentieth century.[6] In his position, it is likely he was responsible for the employment of Horace Slughorn,[7] Albus Dumbledore,[3] Herbert Beery,[6] Silvanus Kettleburn[6] and possibly Galatea Merrythought[8] as teachers at Hogwarts.
Christmas pantomime
- "The night's entertainment concluded with a packed hospital wing..."
- —Albus Dumbledore[src]
During Dippet's tenure as Headmaster, Herbert Beery, then-Herbology master, proposed an adaptation of The Fountain of Fair Fortune as a Christmas treat for both staff and students. The show, however, was a fiasco: the students playing Amata and Sir Luckless had been boyfriend and girlfriend until one hour before the show, at which point "Sir Luckless" dumped her for "Asha". During the play, the Engorged Ashwinder portraying the Worm (provided by the reckless Professor Silvanus Kettleburn) exploded in a shower of hot sparks and dust, filling the Great Hall with smoke and fragments of the scenery. While the Ashwinder's eggs set fire to the floorboards, "Amata" and "Asha" started duelling fiercely. Professor Beery was caught in the crossfire and his head assumed unusual proportions. While the staff evacuated the Great Hall the fire raging inside it threatened to engulf the place.[6]
Of course, there were several people sent to the hospital wing and Professor Dippet had to put Professor Kettleburn in one of his sixty-two periods of probation. In response to this dramatic fiasco, Professor Dippet imposed a blanket ban on future pantomimes, a tradition is still followed by the Hogwarts' staff and students to this day.[6]
Chamber of Secrets openings
- Armando Dippet: "My dear boy, you must see how foolish it would be of me to allow you to remain at the castle when term ends. Particularly in light of the recent tragedy… the death of that poor little girl. You will be safer by far at your orphanage. As a matter of fact, the Ministry of Magic is even now talking about closing the school. We are no nearer locating the — er — source of all this unpleasantness…"
- Tom Riddle: "Sir — if the person were caught — if it all stopped —"
- Armando Dippet: "What do you mean? Riddle, do you mean you know something about these attacks?"
- Tom Riddle: "No, sir."
- — Armando Dippet and Tom Riddle on 13 June, 1943.[src]
That school year, many students were attacked by Salazar Slytherin's Basilisk. On 13 June of the same year, a student named Myrtle was murdered in a bathroom,[3] during one of the Chamber's openings by Riddle.[9] After realising that no one had seen Myrtle for a couple of hours, Professor Dippet asked fellow student Olive Hornby to go and look for Myrtle.[10]
Myrtle's Muggle father and mother were summoned to the school by Dippet, and the Headmaster faced the possibility of closing the school. Dippet also rejected Tom's request of staying at school over the summer holidays due to the situation, but would have given him special permission if the school were much safer.[3] Not wanting the school to close, or possibly not wanting to return to the orphanage, Riddle stopped attacking students with the Chamber's Basilisk and framed Rubeus Hagrid for the attacks. Dippet promptly expelled Hagrid. Under Albus Dumbledore's request, Hagrid was trained as Gamekeeper and was allowed to remain at the school.[9]
Riddle's job application
- Dumbledore: "Professor Dippet told him that he was too young at eighteen, but invited him to reapply in a few years, if he still wished to teach."
- Harry Potter: "How did you feel about that, sir?"
- Dumbledore: "Deeply uneasy. I had advised Armando against the appointment - I did not give the reasons I have given you, for Professor Dippet was very fond of Voldemort and convinced of his honesty - but I did not want Lord Voldemort back at this school, and especially not in a position of power."
- — Dumbledore and Harry Potter on Dippet and Riddle's application.[src]
Dumbledore realised Riddle's true intentions, but did not include them as his reasons for denying him the job, as Professor Dippet was very fond of him and believed that he was completely honest.[11]
Death and post-mortem
- " The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore – by Rita Skeeter, best-selling author of Armando Dippet: Master or Moron?."
- —Cover of The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore.[src]
Dippet died in 1956.[2] He had a Chocolate Frog Card devoted to him,[12] and, at some point, Rita Skeeter wrote his biography, entitled Armando Dippet: Master or Moron?[13] (although it is likely this work contains some defamatory false information, given the author and the book's title). His position as Headmaster of Hogwarts was succeeded by Albus Dumbledore.[3]
A portrait of Dippet was hung at the Headmaster's office,[14] depicting him dressed in blue and bronze robes.[15] In 1995, he scorned the portrait of Phineas Nigellus Black, who was feigning tiredness in order to avoid going to 12 Grimmauld Place like Dumbledore asked him to. He was devoted to serving whomever was Headmaster.[16]
Physical description
Professor Dippet had pale skin, brown eyes and, in his youth, a thick brown beard.[12]
In his elderly years, he became frail and feeble-looking. He was balding and had only a few wisps of white hair left.[3]
Personality and traits
As Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Professor Dippet seemed to be a strict disciplinarian and a very firm leader of the school. During this tenure, the school was marked by an acceptance of severe punishment, as Professor Dippet allowed Caretaker Apollyon Pringle to use corporal punishment on students. Professor Dippet did by no means limit his strict demeanor to the students. During Dippet's tenure as Headmaster, he placed Professor Silvanus Kettleburn on sixty-two periods of probation,[6] and Professor Horace Slughorn once commented, perhaps in jest, that Dippet would not hesitate to put him in detention if he found out that he had been encouraging students to be up and about after curfew. Professor Dippet was also responsible for placing a permanent ban on pantomimes as a result of the chaos that ensued during the performance of The Fountain of Fair Fortune. Professor Dippet was distrusting, or at least careful with whom he relayed information to, as Professor Albus Dumbledore, his eventual successor, noted that he was one of the few people that Dippet confided in.[11]
According to Remus Lupin, Professor Dumbledore is the only Headmaster who would allow him to attend school while being a werewolf, suggesting that if Professor Dippet still had been Headmaster by the time Lupin started attending school, Professor Dippet possibly would have refused him attendance, implying that the Headmaster might have been somewhat prejudiced against half-humans or otherwise would believe that accepting him could put other students at risk.
In spite of his somewhat brutal view on discipline, he did not take the safety of his students lightly. An example on his concern for his students's safety was when he, the moment he realised that no one had seen Myrtle for a couple of hours, asked fellow student Olive Hornby to go and look for her. Also, he rejected Tom Riddle's request of staying at school over the summer holidays due to the Chamber of Secrets situation, but did comment that he would have given him special permission if the school were safer. When the Chamber of Secrets opened, Armando, like all his employees, did everything in his power to apprehend the perpetrator and protect his students. Like most teachers he was manipulated by Tom Riddle and was charmed by his politeness and dedication to his magical studies.[9] And thus, the moment Tom Riddle declared Hagrid a suspect, Dippet promptly expelled the latter without putting much effort in investigating the matter.
Armando Dippet was also very loyal to Hogwarts and his portrait reprimanded Phineas Nigellus's for attempting to defy a request from Dumbledore.[16]
Magical Abilities and Skills
- Charms: The true extent of Armando Dippet's skills are not known, but he was skilled in Charms, since he in the job as Headmaster was responsible for controlling the magical protections around Hogwarts Castle, and he was easily able to lift and cast the defensive spells himself, as he did so shortly after the demise of Moaning Myrtle, temporarily lifting the Muggle-Repelling Charms to give her parents free access to the campus.
- Wand: Professor Dippet's wand was of unknown manufacturer, length, core and wood. Presumably purchased at the age of eleven prior to his magical education, he was in possession of it during the 1940s. He left it on his desk during his meeting with Tom Riddle in 1943 concerning the summer holidays and the Chamber of Secrets openings.[5]
- Headmaster's office: When Professor Dippet lived in the office in the Headmaster's Tower, there was a single bookcase, a desk, and several paintings there, including the portraits of his predecessors. His passwords are unknown, though it can be presumed that he told one of them to Tom Riddle in 1943.[3]
- Strawberry and ling plantations: According to Albus Dumbledore, Professor Dippet planted some strawberries and ling in the castle grounds while he was Headmaster. However, it is likely that Albus was simply trying to distract Cornelius Fudge and Walden Macnair.[17]
Tom Riddle
- "I had advised Armando against the appointment - I did not give the reasons I have given you, for Professor Dippet was very fond of Voldemort and convinced of his honesty [...]'"
- —Albus Dumbledore with Harry Potter.[src]
Dippet was very fond of Tom Riddle, whom he made several "special arrangements" for. His relationship with him was strong enough to make Dumbledore decide not to tell Dippet about why he thought Riddle should not be given a job at the school.[11]
It is unknown how Dippet reacted when the Dark Rebellion, later known as the First Wizarding War, broke out, with Riddle, calling himself by the name "Lord Voldemort", leading the Death Eaters.
Hogwarts staff
Professor Dippet was, apparently, distrusting of his employees, confiding only in a few professors, which included the Transfiguration teacher Albus Dumbledore.[11]
As headmaster, Dippet placed Silvanus Kettleburn on at least one, but presumably many more, of his sixty-two periods of probation. The one known time was after he provided an Ashwinder with an Engorgement Charm on it instead of a worm for the The Fountain of Fair Fortune pantomime. Dippet, after the chaos, placed a permanent ban on pantomimes from thereon.[6]
Another of Dippet's employees was Herbert Beery, who was the one who adapted The Fountain of Fair Fortune into a play. Beery, who had been teaching Herbology, eventually left to become a professor of the Wizarding Academy of Dramatic Arts.[6]
Horace Slughorn also worked under Headmaster Dippet. One evening, during one of his Slug Club's supper parties, Slughorn joked that if the student group would be found up and about after hours, Professor Dippet would put them all in detention, including himself.[18]
- "Armando" is the Spanish and Italian variant of the name Armand, meaning "of the army". It is likely that, given his name, Armando Dippet is at least partially of Spanish or Italian heritage.
- "Dippet" is not a word in English, but "dip" has many meanings, including: to put something into something else, often a liquid; to take something out of something, as in dipping out water; to lower and raise something; a fool.
Behind the scenes
- Alfred Burke appeared as Dippet in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, in the memory scene. His face can be glimpsed only for a fleeting moment, before he turns around and convenes with several other wizards. He is also not bald contrary to the book's description.
- In the film adaption of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Dippet is mentioned in the newspaper article Flying Ford Anglia Mystifies Muggles. However, this cannot be canon, given that Dippet had a portrait in the headmaster's office and, so, must have died in office and not retired to live to 1992.
- According to Albus Dumbledore, Professor Dippet had ling and strawberries planted on the mountains surrounding Hogwarts Castle when he was headmaster, presumably a lie to gain Harry Potter and Hermione Granger some more time to release Buckbeak (seeing as apparently neither Cornelius Fudge nor Walden Macnair could see the said strawberries).[17]
- Dippet was the fourth-oldest known wizard, being born in 1637. The only known wizards older than him were Barry Wee Willie Winkle (b. 1236) and Nicolas and Perenelle Flamel (b. 1327 and 1334, respectively).[1]
- Coincidentally or not, Armando Dippet shares his initials with Albus Dumbledore (not including the latter's middle names).

Notes and references
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 In the newspaper held up by Snape in the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets film, Dippet is said to be turning three hundred and fifty-five in October, 1992. This places his date of birth at October 1637.
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 According to J.K. Rowling at the Edinburgh Book Festival (J.K. Rowling at the Edinburgh Book Festival (15 August, 2004) source), headmasters only get their portrait hung in the office if they die holding the title of headmaster. As Dippet's portrait was shown hanging in the office in the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets film and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, this means that he must have died in office. As Dumbledore became headmaster in 1956 with Dippet as his predecessor, this would imply that Dippet died that year.

PORTSMOUTH -- When Mark Wentworth Home resident Albert French's son Brad set up a digital picture frame to remind his father of their family history, his effort went viral.
The Home's Enrichment team set out to show other residents how sharing videos and photos can help to keep family connected. In the process, the story of Brad French's digital project and its affect on Al's recall of family history reached Tom Paulbeck, Regional Vice President of Allianz Life Financial Services. Allianz stepped up so that other residents could receive the same benefit.
Allianz donated 10 digital frames to the Home. The staff there is helping family members install special memories on the devices to assist with memory care.
The Mark Wentworth Home is dedicated to providing activities and resources to assist its' residents and is very pleased to accept this donation. Paulbeck said, "I work with Brad and when he told me how much joy the revolving pictures gave his father, I wanted to share that with other Mark Wentworth residents and their families."
Gretchen Poehlman, Director of Community Development for the Mark Wentworth Home said, "This is a wonderful gift for our residents. Our staff will work with families to create slide shows of family memories that serve as windows into the past, where many of our residents feel the most comfortable."

The persistence of gender inequality in the workplace is getting harder to swallow. While most people accept that major cultural change doesn't happen overnight, the call for an equal opportunity business environment has been ringing for decades while our progress has been limited.
The World Economic Forum (WEF) has predicted that it will take more than 100 years before the gender pay gap is closed. Even if we account for a large margin of error, this points to a sobering outlook for women in the workplace.
A major roadblock to improvement has been a lack of accountability for employers. Private organizations have historically only had to answer to themselves with regards to their hiring, pay and benefits approaches.
That's why it is encouraging that the UK Parliament will require businesses to report on their gender pay gap as of April 2017. Forcing companies to be more transparent about how they treat male and female workers puts more power in the hands of employees, who increasingly want to work somewhere that shares their value system and will be drawn to an equal opportunity organization.
Some might argue that unless they impose sanctions on companies with a large gender pay gap governments cannot hope to effect change. However, this push for greater transparency should motivate organizations to tackle inequality in the interest of being viewed as an employer of choice and, one would hope, to help address wider gender issues.
A major roadblock to improvement has been a lack of accountability for employers.
Of course, fair pay is only one element of an equal opportunity workplace. Just as important are policies that allow male and female employees to thrive while enjoying a rewarding personal life. Programs like shared maternity and paternity leave or flexible working schemes allow workers to focus on both their professional development and their families. Importantly, they do not force women to bear more responsibility than men for raising their children and allow fathers to spend as much time with their newborns as mothers.
The Nordic countries set a fine example in this regard. Iceland, Norway, Finland and Sweden in particular have shown a commitment to equal rights for men and women since the 1970s, so it's hardly surprising they topped WEF's list of countries leading the way in gender quality. In fact, Finland was the first nation that allowed women to vote.
It's worth noting the pay gap is still an issue in the Nordics, which shows that even the most advanced countries have work to do in this regard. According to Norden, the gender pay gap in Norway, Sweden and Denmark is between 15% and 16%, on par with the EU, and is slightly higher in Finland and Iceland (between 18% and 20%).
Companies will face more scrutiny than ever regarding the diversity and equality of their workforce in 2017.
Companies will face more scrutiny than ever regarding the diversity and equality of their workforce in 2017. Here are a few thoughts on how they can rise to the occasion:
Unless you have visibility into the fundamentals of each employee's role, responsibilities and salary it's nearly impossible to effectively audit your workforce and establish whether you have a problem. This may seem obvious, but many companies still track this information using spreadsheets, an approach that has significant limitations. It is important to develop a complete enterprise wide picture because what might appear to be small differences in local business units might actually be a systemic problem across the organization.
Men and women do not always have the same priorities when looking for work. For instance, LinkedIn's report on gender inequality in the IT sector found that women are more attracted by the promise of fulfilment and a compatible company culture than men. Recruitment tactics therefore need to be tailored to the values and drivers that resonate with individual prospects. Similarly, retention strategies may need to change to reflect the potentially differing priorities of different segments of the workforce.
Whether using targeted social sourcing campaigns to attract more female prospects or giving mothers and fathers the opportunity to work with greater flexibly, businesses need the technologies in place to support these initiatives. After all, no employee will feel comfortable working at home if they don't have the collaboration tools to do so effectively. Even a company with the best intentions will fall flat if they can't support these with the proper resources.

Mexico to place 5 wolves near AZ
JAMES S. WOOD / Arizona Daily Star file photo Mexican Gray Wolf at the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum
The government of Mexico is planning to reintroduce five endangered Mexican gray wolves in northeastern Sonora - within a wolf's walking distance of Arizona.
The reintroduction, scheduled to occur as early as this month, has forced U.S. state and federal agencies to scramble. Their problem is to figure out what to do if a wolf wanders north into the United States.
So far, their answer isn't pleasing ranchers: They'll treat any wolves from Mexico as fully endangered and therefore largely untouchable.
"For one (wolf) to go 80 miles in one week is nothing," said Laura Schneberger of the Gila Livestock Growers Association in New Mexico. "Once they're managed as fully endangered species, you won't be able to remove them for any reason."
She called Mexico's plan, made in concert with some U.S. and allied Mexican environmental groups, an "end around" to bring wolves into the U.S. from the south.
That possible result sounds like a good thing to some environmentalists from Arizona and New Mexico. They view the troubled wolf reintroduction straddling those U.S. states, in a place called the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area, as weakened by rules that allow easy removals of wolves.
"We do eventually want connectivity between the Blue Range wolves and wolves in Mexico," said Michael Robinson of the Tucson-based Center for Biological Diversity.
The Mexican government has withheld many details of its planned release, including the timing, but officials said in an e-mail to the Star Friday that it will take place in the Sierra San Luis. That mountain range in northeastern Sonora starts about 25 miles south of the point where the Arizona, New Mexico and Sonora borders meet and stretches south for another 60 or so miles.
plan accelerates
Mexico's planned reintroduction has prompted a familiar debate among agencies, groups and individuals involved in the longstanding debates over managing for jaguars and wolves in Arizona. The difference: They have limited influence over Mexico's eventual decision.
Mexican officials and conservationists have long planned to reintroduce Mexican gray wolves to their landscape. The last known wild wolves were trapped by American Roy McBride in Mexico during the 1970s as part of an effort to save the subspecies of gray wolves. A captive breeding program was established, and now more than 300 wolves live in 40 U.S. and Mexican facilities.
After decades of discussion about releases, Mexico's plan accelerated this year after Mexican President Felipe Calderón named the wolf one of five priority species for reintroduction before 2012.
"There is significant political pressure (in Mexico) to get wolves on the ground," said Arizona Game and Fish's endangered species coordinator, Terry Johnson, at an August commission meeting. "It's no different than the political pressures in the United States. … At some point, people run out of patience."
The immediacy of Mexico's plan came into sharp focus for U.S. agencies in July, when Mexican officials said they planned to release wolves in a spot about 30 miles south of the border in October or November. That word set off alarm bells for the Americans because of its proximity to the border, but the release date has been pushed back since then, most recently to this month.
The release site apparently has been pushed farther south, said Buddy Fazio, a Fish and Wildlife Service employee who directs the Blue Range reintroduction program. He has heard the distance is about 100 miles south of the border, but wherever the site is within the Sierra San Luis, newly released wolves could make it into the United States.
That in itself wouldn't be a problem, Fazio said.
"If they're just passing through, that's OK. But if they become an issue for people in some way, that's when we'd need to step in and manage in some way," he said.
The most common issue people have cited in the Blue Range area is wolves attacking cattle. Judy Keeler, a rancher who leads a Hidalgo County livestock group in New Mexico's bootheel, said she's concerned that wolves will show up from the south and start eating cattle, but there will be no mechanism for removing wolves or otherwise handling the problem.
Said Schneberger: "It (a wolf) can walk through downtown Deming, and nobody will be able to touch it. It's not a good thing to list a predator as fully endangered."
The Fish and Wildlife Service is working on an environmental assessment that could give the service some tools for managing wolves that cross from the south, but that will likely take months.
"3 strikes" rule is gone
If wolves make it from Mexico into the United States, they'll be entering a complex geography of wolf controls.
The Blue Range wolves were introduced in 1998 as "experimental, nonessential" animals. They're largely prohibited from leaving the confines of the Blue Range area in New Mexico and Arizona. If seen outside the Blue Range, and between an area bordered by Interstate 40 to the north and Interstate 10 to the south, they are to be returned to the Blue Range.
They also have been subject to rules such as a "three strikes and you're out" standard under which wolves will be removed from the project area if they eat cattle three times. That rule was eliminated in November.
"Those exemptions have allowed Fish and Wildlife Service to order the removal of dozens of wolves," said Robinson of the Center for Biological Diversity.
But some officials see hope in a new population, one they don't oversee, appearing nearby.
"There's still that undercurrent in some parts of our population that we don't need wolves anymore," said Bob Hernbrode, an Arizona Game and Fish commissioner from Tucson. "I stand in support of Mexico transplanting wolves if they do it close enough to have a financial and biological impact on the United States."
During a teleconference Friday to announce disappointing declines in the Blue Range wolf population, Benjamin Tuggle, regional director of the Fish and Wildliife Service, expressed support for "anything that's going to supplement the population on the ground."
"The more wolves that are on the landscape, the more they're going to act like wolves," he said.
Wolves' return hasn't been easy
• Mexico and the United States began the effort to save the Mexican gray wolf together in the 1970s, but the U.S. got a much quicker start on reintroduction efforts - for better or worse.
• The United States released 11 animals from the endangered gray wolf subspecies into the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area, in Eastern Arizona and western New Mexico, in 1998. The goal was that natural reproduction and reintroduction would bring the population to 100 in a few years. The first wild pups were born in 2002, but continuing difficulties have meant that the wolves have struggled to maintain their population.
• Officials removed wolves because they ate cattle and for other reasons. They moved wolves into, out of and within the range. Ranchers and others grew frustrated with the animals, while many environmentalist asked that they simply be left alone.
• On Friday, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced that its annual wolf census found 42 animals on the ground at the end of 2009, compared to 52 at the end of 2008. It was the lowest number in seven years.
• Perhaps just as worrisome for the wolf project, at least two of eight wolves whose carcasses were found last year had been shot, meaning apparent poaching of the wolves, a problem for years, continues. Federal officials are investigating the shootings as possible crimes.
• State and federal governments have spent about $20.4 million on the project since 1991.
• Benjamin Tuggle, the regional director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, promised Friday to intensify efforts to have more wolves living in Eastern Arizona and western New Mexico.

California citizens have little power at the local level -- in large part because their local elected officials have little power. Most fiscal decisions can't be made in local governments -- because California's governing system has centralized power in Sacramento. Indeed, statistics show most Californians don't vote in municipal elections.
But there's one group of citizens who are receiving more power -- those who live in cities that have experienced scandal or bankruptcy.
In Vallejo, after bankruptcy, citizens are now being invited to participate in a participatory budgeting process. Citizens themselves will get to develop proposals for how to spend money from a sales tax measure -- and then vote on those proposals. This would make Vallejo a national leader in participatory budgeting.
U.S. & World
In Bell, after scandals, citizens are being engaged in ways you rarely see in California cities. The city has organized, with the help of top professional facilitators, "Goal-Setting Community Forums" in which citizens work together to develop an approach to rebuilding the city's budget.
Other cities in California should be doing more of this. But there has been not nearly enough. Indeed, living in a city that has become a national embarassment seems to approve your odds of eventually living in a place that takes citizen engagement seriously.
Let's hope that these positive developments in Vallejo and Bell spread -- and that other cities can skip the scandal and the bankruptcy, and go right to the engagement.

SOUZA, Luciana Karine de. In search of true friendship. Kriterion [online]. 2008, vol.4Selected edition, pp. 0-0. ISSN 0100-512X.
The present text proposes a discussion on the concept of true friendship. The argument is grounded mostly on Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, Owen Flanagan's ethics as human ecology, and on contemporary authors' works about the Greek philosopher's concept of friendship. Given that human beings flourish through 1) exercising capacities, 2) being moral, and 3) having true friendships, difficulties to establish the level of trust required by true friendships turns the search itself (for them) morally valid.

This week's comic haul is a grab bag of weirdness. We have a spaceships-and-girl-groups book from two of indie comics' titans, the return of Canada's premier superheroes, and a veritable smorgasbord of graphic novels.
First Issues
IDW resurrects the Rocketeer in Rocketeer Adventures (which features contributions from John Cassaday, Mike Allred, and Kurt Busiek) and starts a new Snake Eyes series penned by Chuck Dixon.
Marvel's printing a brand new Alpha Flight maxiseries, but Puck sadly isn't mentioned in the solicit information. I kind of wish Puck had an American sidekick named Pigskin, and Italian partner named Bocce, and a Basque cousin named Jai-Alai-Ball Man.
There's also the Qui-Gon Jinn prequel Star Wars Jedi: The Dark Side, the Gotham City mystery Batman: Gates Of Gotham (which guest stars former Wonder Woman martial arts master I-Ching), and Image's supernatural percussion-and-zombies series Drums.
Other Releases
DC Comics Presents: Batman - Dark City reprints a Peter Milligan Riddler tale from years past, and the first issue of James Stokoe's Orc Stain is reprinted for $1.
There are also new issues of Invincible Iron Man (a Fear Itself tie-in), Uncanny X-Force, DMZ, Fables, and Zombies vs Robots: Undercity (check out our preview here).
Graphic Novels
First off, Fantagraphics collects Peter Bagge and Gilbert Hernandez's all-ages graphic novel Yeah! for the first time in a decade. This title was initially published on Wildstorm and is about the foibles of an intergalactic Josie and The Pussycats-style girl group. You can read a preview here.
Marvel's collecting Brian Michael Bendis' Ultimate Doomsday and the first volume of Deadpool MAX (both in hardcover), Chris Claremont's Essential X-Men: Volume 8 (which has some of the wackier moments in 1980s X-Men history, such as the time everyone became demonic during Inferno ), and a new printing of Powers' first volume.
Dark Horse publishes the first volumes of the long-running webcomic The Adventures Of Dr McNinja and Star Wars Blood Ties: A Tale Of Jango And Boba Fett. Si Spencer and Sean Murphy's John Constantine miniseries Hellblazer: City of Demons is collected, as is the first volume of Stan Lee and Paul Cornell's Soldier Zero.
Finally, if you're looking for quite possibly the weirdest thing Mark Millar's ever written, look no further than Marvel's sexy summer vacation series Trouble! It was part of an ill-fated attempt by Marvel to start a new romance line using horny teenage incarnations of Aunt May and Uncle Ben, but all Trouble did was sketch out readers and make everyone feel like a Peeping Tom.
As usual, here's the list of everything being released to comic stores tomorrow, and you can find your nearest comic retailer here. Happy reading, gang!

Scrum-half Stuart Commins has revealed the prospect of securing promotion to the Championship with Esher was behind his decision to switch to Molesey Road.
The 25-year-old was confirmed by chief executive Mike Schmid as the club's first new signing of the summer on Friday, having already secured the services of 17 of last year's senior squad.
Former Northampton Saints, London Irish and Wasps number nine Commins, a Varsity winner with Oxford University in 2012, will combine playing in Hersham with a role in commercial property having quit full time rugby to join Ealing Trailfinders where he joins Esher from.
"Esher is a club striving for promotion to the Championship, and there is a great culture here," he said.
"There is a nucleus of talented players already in place and for me it's a massive opportunity to be a part of something special.
"My ambition for the next couple of years is to settle down at Esher and enjoy my rugby. I would hope to add some experience to the team, but also want to learn from others players in the group.
"It is all about creating a winning culture, and hopefully I can help with that as much as possible.
"Having met Mike and Ricky initially, I could sense their drive to perform and that's something that inspires.
"I'm really looking forward to meeting the supporters and the wider playing squad in the coming weeks and months ahead and judging by the first few sessions I've had with the fitness staff, the progress we are making is excellent."
Esher have also confirmed they will take on London Scottish at Richmond's Athletic Ground on August 23.
