Destination romance: Brooklyn, New York
Observer Magazine
When I'm standing on the bridge and the sun is setting behind the skyline, glowing through the breaks between buildings as if it were blood running through the city's veins, I feel I am part of the beating heart of New York. And every time, I fall more and more in love.
Kathryn Bigelow's awards triumph
The Guardian Comment is Free
Cameron's Avatar may be impressive, but special effects do not a good director make; Bigelow's directing of The Hurt Locker was breathtaking. It may be a David v Goliath fight, but if Bigelow ends up winning the Oscar, I'd bet there would be plenty more young women keen on pursuing a career behind the camera, rather than as the "talent" in front of it. That really would be something to celebrate.
Is loss of privacy a price worth paying?
The Guardian Comment is Free
Perhaps, in our rush to embrace the digital era, we've voluntarily, albeit unwittingly, forfeited any privacy protection we had. Every social networking site we sign up to involves another profile, more uploading of information, further chipping away of the private block, shaping it into the public one that's on display. But is this such a bad thing? Is it not a fair price to be paid by the dramatic improvements in communication, connectivity and socialising, gained by embracing the online medium?
Sexblogger's tale: How my life changed forever
The Guardian Comment & Opinion
It's not easy being outed. Three years ago I was doorstepped by the Sunday Times; as I opened my front door, a secret photographer took photos of me. The paper then threatened to use these in their exposé of me, in the hope I would succumb to vanity and agree to an interview and photoshoot. The spread ran – without my contributing to it – two days later and the three years of anonymity I had as the author of the sexblog Girl with a One Track Mind was lost in an instant.
Amazon feels the web's wrath
The Guardian Comment is Free
It seems that books written by lesbian or gay authors, or with lesbian or gay themes, were being classed as "adult", actively removed from searches, and de-ranked, alongside the books featuring erotic content. Authors are dependent on people being able to find their books. If a book is not readily available in bookshops, then many book buyers will seek it online, and Amazon is often their first port of call. If the ability to find that book via searching the landing page is removed, then that could have a huge impact on book sales, and authors may suffer the consequences of this for some time to come.
Calacanis calls time on the internet 'me-toos': Jason Calacanis interview
The Guardian Technology pages
It's impossible to walk into a room and not notice Jason Calacanis. This is not because he is famous – although he's arguably a celebrity in internet circles – but due to the fact that he exudes confidence and has a dominant presence. He might be perceived as little arrogant, but he's earned his authoritative position: he has held successive productive roles in the tech world for many years, seen it through the good times and bad and come out the other end a millionaire several times over. It's no surprise, then, that people pay attention to what he has to say.
Can we move beyond the headlines?
The Guardian Comment is Free
Engaging with young people and giving them relevant information can help protect them by making them feel safe, comfortable and cared-for; it can assist them with learning about boundaries; and it can give them self-respect, self-esteem and self-confidence. Being taught just the basics of human reproduction in science classes does not provide children and young people with the knowledge necessary for relationships – of any sort – later on in life.
"The democratic approach is a very valuable thing": Kevin Rose interview
The Guardian Technology pages
Rose's focus though, remains with what the site offers to its users. He gets most animated when talking about Digg's interactivity and its "community". "Any time you can work with the community and stay active and in touch with the community, the better. I'm trying to get out there and be in touch with people who use our service. The best thing I can do is get constant feedback from the community. They help us shape our products, they tell us when we're screwing up; and we've screwed up."

Yellowstone's famous alpha-wolf shot dead :( »
From the New York Times:
Yellowstone National Park's best-known wolf, beloved by many tourists and valued by scientists who tracked its movements, was shot and killed on Thursday outside the park's boundaries, Wyoming wildlife officials reported.
The wolf, known as 832F to researchers, was the alpha female of the park's highly visible Lamar Canyon pack and had become so well known that some wildlife watchers referred to her as a "rock star." The animal had been a tourist favorite for most of the past six years.
The wolf was fitted with a $4,000 collar with GPS tracking technology, which is being returned, said Daniel Stahler, a project director for Yellowstone's wolf program. Based on data from the wolf's collar, researchers knew that her pack rarely ventured outside the park, and then only for brief periods, Dr. Stahler said.
This year's hunting season in the northern Rockies has been especially controversial because of the high numbers of popular wolves and wolves fitted with research collars that have been killed just outside Yellowstone in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming.
Also with her and killed was her bff, a wolf known as 754. Heartbreaking news, life is the worst. Also, total bullshit! Our national wolf populations can't handle these state-sanctioned killings, and this just brings that sad fact into the light even more.
The first wolf hunts in decades were authorized in Wyoming this fall. 832F was the eighth collared by researchers that was shot this year after leaving the park's boundary. Seriously, fuck everyone. We reintroduced wolves in the 90s and now hunting is OK because they're fucking with the business of factory farmers and hunters?
Our human relationship with other animals is so sick, it makes me wish an asteroid would just hit us. Or some sort of plague comes unto humans and future reign is handed off to the gorillas — naturally vegan, fairly peaceful, and content to munch leaves all days and think wise thoughts. Take it away, gorillas!
Once you're done sobbing, check out Defenders of Wildlife to see how you can help the wolves.
RIP, 832F and 754. I'm sorry.

Hunters gleefully torture wolves since Idaho removed federal protection »
This is Forest Service employee Josh Bransford happily posing with a wolf he trapped in Idaho. The wolf wasn't just trapped; when some passing motorists saw the limping animal, they thought it'd be super fun to non-fatally shoot the trapped wolf a few times. Bransford posted some pics online and people were positively giddy. Awesome.
People make me so sick sometimes. This is exactly what people opposed to the de-listing were worried about. This isn't just an animal who's threatened by habitat loss or something, hunters and farmers hate wolves. They are in competition with them. It's not like a few will be killed now, these dudes are out for blood.
According to Environment News Service, people are calling for Bransford to be fired. Though you're allowed to kill wolves now, there are actually rules about it:
Idaho state law makes it a crime for a person who "causes or procures any animal to be cruelly treated, or who, having the charge or custody of any animal either as owner or otherwise, subjects any animal to cruelty." The law also requires that "destruction of animals for population control," the stated reason for wolf trapping, be carried out humanely.
Removal of Endangered Species Act protection for the wolf was based on the assurances of state game agencies that they would manage wolves to ensure survival of the species and approval of state wolf management plans by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Idaho has since abandoned the targets of its state plan and instead said it will seek to reduce the population from roughly 1,000 wolves to as low as 150 wolves. Since the delisting, 375 wolves have been reported killed in Idaho. Idaho's wolf hunt remains open in portions of the state.
As you know, wolves were removed from the federal protection list last year in Idaho and Montana. Since then:
By late March some 117 Idaho wolves had been killed in traps and snares, and another 251 shot. Montana saw 166 killed, for a total of 534 wolves out of an estimated 1150 in the two states. Although Montana's season ended in February, Idaho is not quite done. Both states have announced plans for increased hunting in the 2012-2013, and discussions are underway among hunting groups and state officials to allow private donations to establish wolf bounties.
Wolf bounties? They aren't criminals—they're animals just trying to live! This is so absurd. As you can see, it's not like there a gagillion wolves walking around. This animal that was nearly wiped off the earth has rebounded to a little more than a thousand in those areas. How does an animal go from federal protection to being legally culled by half? There needs to be national intervention. States shouldn't be able to just do whatever they want with regard to their environment and wildlife. This is bullshit. I'm angry!

Wow, the world is a disturbing place. As the video says, there's a new bill in Idaho that would allow all kinds of fun ways to kill wolves, including luring them with live bait… as in, tied up dogs. Just wow, Idaho. The bill also has some weird vengeance loophole for killing wolves that kill your cattle. If a wolf kills one of your sheep or whatever, you have a certain amount of time to hunt it down and kill it without needing to get a permit. Dude, there is no way anyone is going to reliably identify an individual wolf that killed their animals! That's ridiculous. You do however have to get a permit to kill wolves that are "molesting" your cattle. This part is great:
"molesting" shall mean the actions of a wolf that are annoying, disturbing or persecuting, especially with hostile intent or injurious effect, or chasing, driving, flushing, worrying, following after or on the trail of, or stalking or lying in wait for, livestock or domestic animals.
So basically you can kill a wolf that has intent to kill? OK. And really, "molesting?" Nice word choice. Very loaded and villainous.
You may be familiar with Idaho's lust for wolf blood, as I've written about it many times. It's only recently that wolves were delisted as an endangered species in Idaho. That's what they get for narrowly evading extinction!
But seriously, can you imagine a dog tied up with a wolf charging it? And it can't get away? WTF. Sick.
Defenders of Wildlife is the best site I know of to see how you can help, so check that out.
PS: Please excuse the commercial at the beginning of the video. Couldn't do anything about it.

My favorite part is the last question where she says she doesn't want to give too much away about what's to come—like we are a soap opera! We totally are. Stay tuned!

Whenever people bring up the oyster thing, for one, I'm like, uh people used to say fish couldn't feel pain either. So you never know. But even if oysters don't feel pain, EW THEY ARE GRODY TO THE MAX! WHY would I WANT to eat them? They are like little shells of mucus! If I want to eat garlic butter, I do not have to put it on a loogie first. Put it on an artichoke or drink it straight, but I'll pass on the loogie.

Have you been following PETA's lawsuit Tilikum v. SeaWorld? I guess it just wrapped up with the judge deciding that the 13th Amendment does not apply to non-humans. I thought it was a very interesting case. Should the 13th Amendment apply to non-human animals? I don't know but it's definitely an interesting idea. Second discussion topic of the week!

Cast of "The Grey" dines on wolf meat for kicks »
Animal welfare activists were already not happy about new film The Grey. Well, at first they were, because the movie was using computer wolves instead of real wolves. But then they realized the movie is not so nice to wolves after all. They say it demonizes wolves, and at the worst time possible. After barely recovering from near extinction, wolf populations in some parts of the country have recently been removed from the list of federally protected species. It's basically open season on wolves and now The Grey comes along to fuel unfounded fear, prejudice and misconceptions. Super! Go Hollywood!
To add insult to injury, in order to "have a sense of the movie [they] were making," director Joe Carnahan had some frozen wolves shipped from a trapper up to Alaska for the cast to eat. Um, fuck that. As Jennifer Mishler over at Ecorazzi puts it, "So, he had frozen wolf meat flown in, because that's what people stuck in the snow and ice and fighting for their survival do, right?" Pro tip: WRONG!
Genius idea: How about leaving the actors out in the cold over night to fend for themselves? THAT'S MORE LIKE IT! Get into character, jerks!
Beautiful picture by me!

Wolves help trees rebound in Yellowstone, aren't evil »
From L.A. Times: "This photo published on the Wildlife News blog shows a U.S. Wildlife Services plane adorned with 58 paw-print decals, one for each wolf killed from the aircraft. (Wildlife News)"
As Idaho considers letting loose aerial sharp-shooters on its wolf population, Yellowstone see the benefits of protecting these animals. A study from Oregon State University says that with the return of wolves, the elk population has been reduced, allowing tree populations to recover. This isn't just good for trees, it also provides homes for birds and food for beavers.
What am I always telling you? You can't just remove an apex predator and expect everything to be hunky dory! Meanwhile, all these hunters are super excited to kill wolves. Wolves have barely recovered from near extinction! It's madness.
While we think about how terrible people are, let's watch my favorite wolf video ever: wolf pup learns to howl!

Wolves to be removed from endangered species lists in five states. Go USA! »
[PBS special: Hunting Wolves, Saving Wolves. Shows both sides of the argument. Can't see the video? Watch it on Vegansaurus.com!]
It's official: in 50-some days, five states are set to take gray wolves off the endangered species list. This is the first time Congress has removed a species from the endangered list. This is not good. You would hope that an animal's being removed from the endangered species list would mean that the species* had rebounded something fierce—that's not the case here. The wolf population has recovered a lot from near extinction but that's not why the wolves are being de-listed. In this case, politics triumphs over science. The Northern Rockies has something like 1,700 wolves and they are just making it too darn hard to hunt. The federal government has relinquished control and the individual states will now "manage" the wolf population on their own. I totally trust a bunch of hunters to manage an endangered species. There are a few super-duper legitimate restrictions; for example, under the new deal, Montana, who currently has a little less than 600 wolves, would have to keep a minimum of 150 wolves and 15 breeding pairs. That sounds totally reasonable—75 percent of the species could be wiped out. It's like, how few can we keep around so that we can rebuild the species once we deplete it again?
The whole thing is depraved. The way they went about it is just as bad as the motivation behind the de-listing. They slipped it into the budget agreement and it's total bullshit. Why is that legal? And we can't have realistically expected the President to refuse to sign the budget and shut down the government for wolves. Fucking Congress. I wasn't aware of this because I'm not that into right-wing politics but according to the Washington Post, "The endangered act has long been reviled by conservatives who see it as a hindrance to economic development." Damn endangered species, always getting in the way of making money. I'm sure the conservatives are super excited now that they no longer have to go through the usual channels with regards to endangered species—congress has got their back.
Like I said last week, this sets a terrible precedent for other endangered species. Bison and grizzles are already in danger. I just hope there's not a budget agreement next time polar bears get too rowdy.

Wolves can't catch a break. Groups are in the process of trying to de-list wolves as an endangered species in the Great Lakes area. The New York Times has the story. I'm getting fucking sick of this. It's like, you almost wipe out a species and then after hard work, the species begins to flourish and then you want to kill them again. WTF?

If the recent unseasonably warm weather is not enough to inspire Brits to book their next break then June's extra day's holiday should be as the countdown to the Queen's Jubilee begins.
With just under two months to go, it's not too late for travellers wanting to make the most of the long weekend to take advantage of the double bank holiday bonanza.
As part of its commitment to invest as much as possible on a local level and bring long-term benefits to the communities it visits, The Adventure Company has raised over £100,000 to help local grass roots projects all over the world.
Whether holiday-goers want to escape with the children or from them, there's still time to take advantage of late availability Easter departures from The Adventure Company. As an added incentive, travellers can also save 5% on selected trips in April when booked before 15 March.
As Brian Cox returns to BBC2 (16 January) with another 3-night series of Stargazing LIVE and predicted prime conditions make viewing the northern lights one of this year's must-do holiday experiences, it seems astronomy is no longer the preserve of those in possession of either a PhD or a telescope.
The Adventure Company is giving those who vowed to go on a trek of a lifetime in 2012 a welcome financial incentive with £50 discount per person on selected trips to Nepal until the summer monsoon (June) when booked before 29 February.
Chase the heat without the summer crowds this Easter and get a 5% discount on selected family holidays booked with The Adventure Company before 25 January 2012.
The top five most unusual items regularly added to kit lists to get the most out of an annular eclipse have been revealed by Explorers Astronomy Tours, whose customers appear to travel the globe with items more usually associated with everyday household use than holidays.
Swap the mince pies for activity highs this December with a range of last minute breaks with The Adventure Company.
Parents will be encouraged to dust off their spirit of adventure when it comes to filling next year's school holidays with 28 new great-value trips introduced to The Adventure Company's bumper 2012 Family Adventures brochure and the chance to save up to 15% on holidays.
This October intrepid TV presenter Ben Fogle will be joining The Adventure Company in Farnham and London to host two free travel-related talks for would-be adventurers.

Find the Best Helmet For Your Kid
Experts say actress Natasha Richardson may have survived her ski accident if she were wearing a helmet. Here are our top headgear picks.
Actress Natasha Richardson was reportedly not wearing a helmet when she hit her head during a fatal ski accident on Monday. And although it's unclear whether a helmet could have saved Richardson, research shows helmets reduce the likelihood of a head injury by 40 to 60%, because the helmet's thick plastic foam inside the hard outer shell absorbs much of the force of impact that would otherwise be directed to the head.
"Surprisingly, the people who often don't wear helmets are moms because they're so busy securing their kid's helmets " says Karen Williams, Founder of PHAT, a helmet research team aimed at increasing voluntary ski helmet use among children. "However parents should set an example for kids by making helmets a mandatory piece of equipment."
No matter what helmet you chose, it should be snug -- not slide from side-to-side or front-to-back, sit squarely on your kid's head, covering his forehead. What's more, the top should be smooth and round and a flashy color that makes your kid visible.
Here are four helmets we think are great, no matter what sport your kid plays.
I found www.momlogic.com very informative. The article is professionally written and I feel like the author knows the subject very well. www.momlogic.com keep it that way.
A well done piece. The price of a helmet is miniscule compared to a trip to the local emergency room for a child with a cracked skull. As the father of 4 kids, I have been fortunate in that they have worn helmets while skiing, biking, roller blading & skating. Developing brains need all the protection we parents can provide.
Glad to see that this site works well on my iPhone , everything I want to do is functional. Thanks for keeping it up to date with the latest.

My mother and I wish to develop a blog site much like this for our web site, I stumbled across your website trying to get some ideas on the theme and design. I am taking some html coding course while attending college and not confident that I would have the ability to create a site such as this one just yet.

text: Casual elections likely next week Stop Start Wed, 20 Mar 2013 12:17 - Wednesday, 20 March 2013, 12:17 Casual elections to elect candidates to the House of Representatives, after MPs who were elected on two districts give up one of their seats, are likely to take place next week, The Malta Independent online has learnt. Contacted this morning, Chief Electoral Commissioner Salvu Gauci explained that MPs must write to the Clerk of the House Ray Scicluna and afterwards, President George Abela issues a writ giving the Electoral Commission responsibility to hold the casual elections. The PL executive decided who will be relinquishing which seats in a meeting on Monday while the PN will be meeting Thursday to take its decision. Once the President issues the writ, the Electoral Commission must give five consecutive days for nominations to be received and a sixth day for any objections there may be. Casual elections may be held the next day. Explaining the process, Mr Gauci said this is quite flexible and the two parties may not necessarily have elections on the same day. Casual elections must also be held for local councils and the European Parliament, since a number of councillors and three MEPs were elected to Parliament. The procedure to be followed is very similar to that of MPs. Councillors must write a letter of resignation to the minister responsible for local councillors while MEPs must write to the Clerk of the House, Ray Scicluna. The PL MPs and six PN MPs who are renouncing their second seats are expected to send their letter regarding which seat they will be vacating to the Clerk of the House this week. An assistant of the clerk of the House confirmed casual elections must be held before 6 April, when Parliament will open because it does not make sense for the government or opposition to start their Parliamentary work with members yet to be elected.

Banyan Bay Club resident raises issue with fire marshal
Date: May 19, 2010
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
Banyan Bay Club Vice President Dick Hershatter sent a letter to Town Manager Bruce St. Denis and the Town Commission Monday, May 17, suggesting that fire marshal Lou Gagliardi doesn't have enough duties to keep busy and is abusing his bureaucratic power.
According to Hershatter, Gagliardi told Banyan Bay Club that the 44 units needed to be retrofitted with smoke alarms during the renovation, even though he only had permission to inspect one unit that was performing an interior renovation.
Hershatter explains in his letter that Gagliardi inspected one unit only and came to the conclusion by inspecting it that none of the units had battery operated or hard-wired smoke alarms.
Wrote Hershatter: "We have no objection to requiring unit owners to retrofit smoke alarms during the course of renovations, but we object strongly to a blanket order based on assumptions made without inspection of an individual unit and directed to the association as a whole. It would appear that the question of whether 'a threat to fire safety or property' exists under the statute under the circumstances described by the marshal is in this instance purely a subjective one, which seems motivated by a bureaucratic official either without sufficient duties to keep him usefully occupied or by an unjustified abuse of bureaucratic power."
Hershatter said his association has no right to enter the other units and install or upgrade smoke alarms because the units are individual and separated by concrete fire block breaks, which, also, in his opinion, do not make the units a threat to fire safety.
At a budget workshop on May 5, Mayor George Spoll said he thinks the fire marshal, who works in the planning department and the fire department, is not a full-time position and also said there have been at least one issue raised about his job performance.
Contact Kurt Schultheis at email@example.com.

- Smoke alarms should be required in all housing units whether hard wired or battery operated. It's sheer stupidity not to have them. Hershatter should get off the pot to see that every unit in his Association has them installed as this is a life safety issue.

When I was growing up, there was a certain mystique, like you had to be special, you had to be friends with Thurston Moore in order to be cool. You had to be somebody to be somebody. I still look at myself as a punk, as a kid. When people come talk to me, I want to bring the secrets back, 'MTV is really just a room with some lights, and Rihanna won't talk to you. What you kids are doing here is radder because you're open and you're expressive and you want to talk to people.' The idea is bringing back secrets from the cool kid party: it's not that cool. Sometimes I feel like I'm an undercover spy for the rejects.

TRI-MANIA DC: Competitive events offering an early season test of your endurance
TRI-MANIA features a variety of competitive events to get you pumped for the new season. We've got events for teams and individuals plus terrific prizes and a fun atmosphere. All events take place at Georgetown Prep, site of the TRI-MANIA Summit and Expo. RESULTS from this year's events can be found here:
- The Newton Running Campus Dash RESULTS
- The Bonzai Indoor Bike Time Trial RESULTS
- The Bonzai Relay Team Swim Challenge RESULTS
- EnduraFit Team Challenge RESULTS
Each of these events require a fee to participate. See below for details.
Start the day with a 5k run on the campus of Georgetown Prep by signing up for The Newton Running Campus Dash. This run begins and ends on the Georgetown Prep outdoor track with 2 loops around campus in between. The Campus Dash starts at 9:00am and registration begins at 8:00am. Prizes from Newton Running to be announced.
The awards presentation from this event will take place from the Newton Running booth on the TRI-MANIA expo floor at 10:30am. Keynote speakers Timothy O'Donnell and Mirinda Carfrae will also be running in this event and participate in the post-race awards ceremony from the Newton Running booth.
Indoor CompuTrainer time trials (TT) offer great off-season competitive bike racing. Riders race on their own bikes which are affixed to CompuTrainers that simulate riding on the open road... you'll "freewheel" on the downhill and feel the tension increase as you climb the hills built into the course.
Riders in the Bonzai Indoor TT will hook their bikes up to CompuTrainers set up on the TRI-MANIA expo floor and ride side by side facing a large screen showing the course profile, each rider's position on the course, and each rider's race data including distance, elapsed time, and power. The Bonzai Indoor Time Trial is a 10k race and prizes will be awarded for the following:
- 1st Place Fastest Male and Female: $50 gift certificate from Bonzai
- 2nd Place Fastest Male and Female: $35 gift certificate from Bonzai
- 3rd Place Fastest Male and Female: $25 gift certificate from Bonzai
- 1st Place Team: $40 gift certificates from Bonzai for each member of the team
- 2nd Place Team: $25 gift certificates from Bonzai for each member of the team
To enter as a team you must sign up for the Team Challenge... see below for details.
The EnduraFit Team Challenge is a competition designed for clubs looking for their first team event of the season. The Team Challenge is comprised of the following 3 competitive events:
- The Campus Dash
- The Bonzai Indoor Bike Time Trial (TT)
- The Bonzai Relay Team Swim Challenge
Register your team for the Team Challenge and you'll be entering a team of 4 into each of these competitive events... teams may enter the same 4 members in all 3 competitive events or up to 12 different members (i.e. 4 different people in each of the 3 competitive events).
The times of each individual member in an event is combined to form a Team Time. The Team Time from all three individual events will then be combined to form an Overall Team Time... the team with the fastest Overall Team Time will be crowned the Team Challenge Champion! Prizes to be announced will be awarded to the top 3 teams based on Overal Team Time.
In a surprise twist announced via video, four lucky teams registered for the EnduraFit® Team Challenge will have IRONMAN champions and keynote speakers Mirinda Carfrae and Timothy O'Donnell join them for the run or swim legs of the Challenge. The lucky teams will be determined in a random drawing the week leading up to the event. Tim and Rinny will compete for these teams as either the 4th member of the team in the given event or as a 5th member of the team -- if competing as the 5th member, event management will determine the Team Time for the team in the event by taking the 4 fastest times of the 5 members (this way, winning Rinny and Tim's services doesn't force a team to "bump" one of it's members who was planning to race).

The St. Louis Cardinals are stacked with young pitching across the board in the farm system. While No. 10 in our ranking of the Cardinals top prospects of 2013 featured a position player, No. 9 will introduce the first of many pitchers that promise to make out top ten. Our No. 9 prospect in the Cardinals organization is Tyrell Jenkins Tyrell Jenkins,RHP, 20 (will turn 21 July 20) 2012 Highest Level: A- Quad Cities 2012 Stats: 19 starts, 4-4. 5.14 ERA, 82 IP 2013 Predicted Highest Level: A+ Palm Beach Tyrell Jenkins has been a much heralded prospect since he was drafted in the first round (50th overall) in 2010. Jenkins has as much upside as any of the players listed above him on this list. He has the size (6'4" 192) and athletic ability that teams dream of. Jenkins has a plus fastball that can hit 96 and a very solid curve ball that needs consistency to be effective. He also has command issues that can be fixed partially because of his great athletic ability. ...

Buckingham Palace Garden Party 2011
One Voice Wales has been requested by the Lord Chamberlain's Office to inform member councils that Her Majesty will be hosting a garden party at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday 12th July 2011.
The invitation is to the current (outgoing) Chairperson in recognition of past service. You may bring a guest with you who can be; your spouse, a married son/daughter or a guest of your choice. This is a once in a lifetime experience so If you have previously attended a Garden Party at the Palace please do not put your name forward to allow somebody else to have the opportunity.
The Lord Chamberlain has asked us to highlight the following: -
The Chairperson should be accompanied unless he or she specifically requests otherwise. The elderly or infirm MUST be accompanied. The accompanying guest is included in the maximum of two nominees per council.
The Chairperson must be a British or Irish citizen, although their accompanying guest may be of another nationality. All attendees must be resident in the United Kingdom.
The quota of 32 invitations that we have been allocated will be split into 10 per region i.e. 10 for North Wales, 10 for Mid Wales and 10 for South Wales. This will work out at 2 invites each for 5 councils in each region. The final names will be decided by drawing each region's nominations from a hat. There will be two places remaining so all the regions will be put into the hat for the final draw.
Both tickets will be sent directly from the Palace to the Chairperson nearer the date of 12TH July 2011.
The DEADLINE for nomination forms, completed in full, must be received at this office by Friday 18th March 2011. Under no circumstances will nominations be accepted after this date.
It must be stressed that NO ALTERATIONS OR SUBSTITUTIONS can be made once the list has been submitted to the Lord Chamberlain's Office. In the past, councils have requested changes at the last minute; we have been informed that this will no longer be possible.
* The name given must be in exactly the same format as the identification that they will be asked to bring with them on the day e.g. passport, driving licence. If the name given does not match the identification they will be refused access to the event.
For more information on the event, please visit http://www.royal.gov.uk/RoyalEventsandCeremonies/GardenParties/Gardenparties.aspx

The Impact of Fair Trade Certification for Coffee Farmers in Peru
AbstractSmallholder farmers producing for Fair Trade market outlets are usually considered to benefit from better prices and stable market outlets. However, many empirical studies verifying this impact suffer from strong selection bias. This study uses a balanced sample of Fair Trade farmers and likewise nonFair Trade producers of organic and conventional coffee from Peru to compare the net effects on production, income and expenditures, wealth and investments, and attitudes and perceptions. After careful matching, we find only modest direct income and production effects, but significant changes in organization, input use, wealth and assets, and risk attitudes. Moreover, important differences between farmers with early and more recent FT affiliation are registered.

My guess would be a mp5 or a very short ''entry ''m4 ..... hell if i was held up for 6 years with 3 to 4 nagging ass wifes ...all on the rag at the same time as scienctific evidence shows happens when women live together ....just chunk me a gun and id blow my own f@#$%^ing brains out
It was a well planned out mission. It was at night too.
The teams securing the inner yard would have had assault rifles suppressed. Isn't the MP5 a typical SEAL assault rifle?
Probably a few snipers would have quickly taken position on the outside of the compound to take out anyone trying to flee.
The teams doing the indoor sweep would have been armed for close quarter. I'm thinking a 45 handgun suppressed and perhaps with a laser and/or flashlight. I'd bet the lights were off in most rooms.
One thing we know is it was the indoor sweep that got him. They entered his bedroom and shot him right away. I'm betting on a 45.
I've been reading some googled up rumors about this.
Another leading rumor is the HK416.
Additionally, an account of a "double tap" rumor however seems to indicate a handgun being more likely.
Despite what sounds like a pretty credible rumor on the HK416, I'd still place bets on the 45 handgun myself.
A MP5 and that is no guess !!!!!!!!!!
When all else fails.
Does it really matter? The POS is dead. It blew the top off his head off, the team was a search and destroy. You can wear wife beater shirts, talk out of your @ss, and none of it matters. I don't have the inside scoop, don't care. Ding Dong The Prick is DEAD! I'm from NY. This was personal, glad he's gone.
Freedom is not free. The best of us always leave too soon.
Deagle wit da beams.
Having some experience contracted field experience wid say it was probably a HK, FN, or Styier.

Jason Allison, WSU Student Association social and behavioral sciences senator, wrote the bill BA05-7 and asked senators to vote against it during the meeting. Allison said that because of the amendment that passed on his bill the previous week, it would no longer be effective in protecting senate seats. Allison said he will work with James West, WSU Student Association nontraditional student senator, to reach a compromise in the upcoming legislation meant to ensure special constituency senate seats have protection, but still keeps the power to eliminate a seat within the senate. This issue first arose in response to rumors diat Justin Harper, WSU See Dies page 3 By Becky Palmer special assign, editor The Signpost The Weber State University Board of Trustees was a festival of 'yeas' Wednesday morning. The trustees voted unanimously and without discussion to approve a bachelor's degree program in philosophy. Only a minor in" philosophy is currently available.

The WSU Department of Philosophy is counting on about 10 majors the first year the major is available, which it hopes will be fall 2006. The Utah State Board of Regents still needs to approve the program. About 50 students are expected to major in philosophy within five years after the program is in place.

He brings an emphasis in ethics, moral psychology and aesthetics. Prior to Fudge's arrival, there were two full-time faculty members. By Maria Villasenor editor in chief The Signpost Daron Hansen didn't expect stealing to be as easy as it was. The Weber State University host of KWCR's daily "News on the Edge (with a little bit of music)" wanted to see how easy it would be to spend money from someone else's credit card. "It has been really surprising on how easy it is, how much money somebody could steal from me if they just took my wallet," Hansen said. He will reveal the findings on 88.1 FM Thursday from 4:15 p.m. to 5:15 p.m. With the help of two friends, he visited more than seven stores, including the WSU Bookstore, to investigate whether anyone really checked identification when items are paid for with credit cards. Since last Friday, Hansen went to Radio Shack, Target, Wal-Mart, Mediaplay, Macey's, the WSU Bookstore, Smith's and Carl's Jr. More than $200 was "stolen" from his credit card by Monday at some stores. The investigation continues today. "I was really surprised; I couldn't believe this is happening so easy and how quick it is," Hansen said.

I lansen and Elkins shopped together, then Elkins would pay at the cashier's widi Hansen's credit card. Hansen also gave Elkins his driver's license in case anyone asked for identification.

Russia Alarmed by Alleged Chemical Weapons Use in Syria

MOSCOW, March 19 (RIA Novosti) – Russia sounded the alarm on Tuesday over the alleged use of chemical weapons by Syria's armed opposition, saying that it would lead to an escalation of the conflict.
Syria's state news agency SANA accused antigovernment militants Tuesday of firing a rocket containing chemical agents into a village near the northern city of Aleppo, reportedly killing at least 26 people. Around 100 people are reported to be injured.
"We are very seriously concerned by the fact that chemical weapons have fallen in the hands of the armed opposition in Syria," Russia's Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
Opposition forces have denied reports of the attack and instead accused the government of using chemical weapons.
Syria's Information Minister Omran al-Zoabi said the army would never resort to using internationally banned weapons.
"We would never use them due to moral, humanitarian and political reasons," Zoabi was quoted as saying by Reuters news agency.
In Washington, White House spokesman Jay Carney said reports on the attack could not be confirmed, but reiterated US warnings against President Bashar al-Assad to ensure the use of chemical weaponry be avoided.
Elimination of Chemical Weapons in the World

"If Assad and those under his command make the mistake of using chemical weapons or fail to meet their obligations to secure them, then there will be consequences," Carney said.
Britain said on Tuesday the use or proliferation of chemical weapons in Syria would require a serious response from the international community.
"The UK is clear that the use or proliferation of chemical weapons would demand a serious response from the international community and force us to revisit our approach so far," Reuters quoted a British Foreign Office spokeswoman as saying.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov urged Syrian authorities in early January to ensure its control over its chemical armaments caches and warned of a "major threat" in the event of the rebels securing the weapons.
Syria is not a signatory to the Chemical Weapons Convention and has not ratified the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention. It is believed to possess mustard gas and sarin, an extremely toxic nerve agent.
The US has officially stated that Syria has a long-standing chemical warfare program and that the weapons can be "delivered by aircraft, ballistic missile, and artillery rockets."
Syria said last year that its chemical arsenal could be used against "foreign invaders."
More than 70,000 people have been killed since the outbreak of hostilities in Syria, according to the latest United Nations estimate.
About 1 million Syrians have been displaced by the fighting, with the figure expected to triple this year, the UN said this month.

What if the rebels, supported by the USA, used the chemical weapons? Will there be consequences, perhaps US military planes bombing the rebels' positions? No statement here.
Never in the history of the world was the political propaganda so obviously misleading, so selective and, therefore, so unreliable.
