Research Interests
The research in my laboratory is directed toward the understanding of airway epithelial cell function under physiologic and disease conditions. We are interested in the mechanistic signal transduction pathways that define ciliary beating, pro-inflammatory cytokine production, remodeling and wound repair, and cell adhesion under conditions of cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption. Our studies aim to define the role of serine-threonine protein kinases and the second messengers that regulate these enzymes in lung epithelial function.

My guest post on Casablanca Authors
Hello! My name is Terri Austin and this is my first Casablanca Authors blog post. Woot! I'm thrilled to be here and thought I'd take this opportunity to share a little bit about myself and my upcoming release, His Every Need—the first book in the Beauty and the Brit series.Read More
My guest post on Romance University
My name is Terri L. Austin and I'm a pantser. There. I've said it. I wish I could write detailed outlines to give myself a road map from Chapter One to The End, but if I did that, I'd never want to write the book. Besides, lots of exciting twists happen when I fly by the seat of my britches. I follow where the characters lead, and that makes every day an adventure.Read More

Darating ang panahon na iiwan mo ang mga bagay na nakakapag-pasaya sa'yo.

21 Signs You Have A Great Boyfriend
1. He is your number one fan. He is the first one to congratulate you when you passed all your subjects. He makes the layout of your tarpaulin when you were awarded as cum laude. He delivers the news to everyone when you win a certain contest. He may not carry cheerleading pompoms, but you he makes you feel that you are a superstar.
2. Even during your losing moments, he will still be very proud of you. He will cheer you up and tell you you're still the best even though you failed to achieve an award you were aiming for or got defeated on a competition. Even if you feel like a pathetic loser, he will make you feel like a winner.
3. He does not fail to text and call you. Whether they are "good morning" and "good night" messages, or a regular reminder for you to eat your breakfast, dinner and lunch. Also, he texts/calls you even though he is with his friends. It may not be like your usual exchange of texts or length of conversations, but then he will make it a point to update you about how he is.
4. You seem to have a personal doctor. He knows your health conditions and restrictions. He has also memorized the medicine or whatever you need to take when you feel sick. And when you do, he takes care of you. But even if he is not beside you, you will still feel his care and he will always wish that you get well soon.
5. He hates it whenever you cry. He feels really terrible. He feels like he is the worst guy on the world. And he will do everything just to wipe away the tears on your eyes.
6. A bird? A plane? Superman? No. He is just your guy. He is your unmasked superhero, your angel in disguise. When someone does something wrong to you or terribly hurts your feelings, the bitch mode in him suddenly switches on.
7. He does not get angry with you when you are too busy. He understands well the nature of your work, he cheers you up when you feel so damn tired and when it is possible, he gives you a helping hand to make your tasks easier.
8. Inspiration—he gives you so much of this. Whenever thoughts of giving up on your dream bothers you, just thinking of him will make you want to aspire and strive further.
Baka kasi nakakasakit ka na, hindi mo pa namamalayan.

This haunts my dreams. Enjoy.
The hbic that is Tavi Gevinson has launched her super-boss zine rookie.com. I suggest you run, not walk, to check it out. In the meantime, here's a little article I contributed, as well as some others by about 1000 of my own personal heroes.
I'll be straight with you. No matter what anyone tells you, your trek through the explosive adolescent social experiment that is high school will be inspirational, iconic, tragic, stressful, giddy, odiferous, awkward, hysterical, painstaking, romantic, and, in hindsight, an all-around blur. But, most important: it will be completely, uniquely yours. So, seeing as I don't know you (to be fair you haven't introduced yourself), here are a few entirely random personally gleaned nuggets of wisdom. Hopefully, at least one of them will be credited with saving your life.
Wave your freak flag. I know. It feels counterintuitive. Teenagers are generally wary of standing out, and aren't going to take well to your refusal to go with the flow. But if you can get down with your bad self this early in the game and not look back, it will be the real-life equivalent of scoring Boardwalk on your first roll (yes, I'm talkin' you-themed Monopoly here).
Avoid "freak dancing" at all costs. During such an important and developmental stage in your life, it is hard to fathom the long-term repercussions of some decisions. Some reckless behaviors leave eternal stains on the permanent record that is your soul. Absolutely do NOT freak dance at homecoming. Or prom. Or the Sadie Hawkins Dance. Or sporadically in the hallway. The memory flash of your knees Tootsie-Rolling with some smelly teenage boy repetitively knocking into your back with his pelvis is one that will haunt you into retirement. Just don't do it. It's not worth it. (Neither is the school cafeteria's taco salad. Trust me.)
Learn stuff. I know you're angry. That's OK. Whether your parents are the actual worst (my condolences) or you merely can't bear their presence unless they materialize for the sole purpose of providing you with food and/or money: I assure you that the best and only revenge you can wreak on your parents is your own success. So, hit the books. It is the only thing we high school survivors uniformly do NOT regret.
Avoid an aerial attack! Even in cases of absolute emergency, avoid standing in an open courtyard where birds are likely to congregate. Living down a fly-by bird pooping is hard to do. I hardly survived to tell the tale.
Go get 'em, tiger. We'll be rooting for you here in adult-world.
While sifting through Production Assistant job openings on craigslist, our very own Second AC here on Raising Hope, Dale Vance Jr, stumbled upon a particularly peculiar entry. This ad requested an unusual submission: a video reel. For those of you who aren't too familiar with the position, production assistants don't usually perform tasks that would render any kind of video applicable to a job submission. Dearest Dale lost his shit. He wrote this letter in response to said ad. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
At this moment I am in the process of ripping 100 copies of my "PA" reel to DVD…… Until it is thru though, here is a sample of what your in for:
Close your eyes if you will, and envision this…….
It opens with a close up of my face, as the song "Oh Yeah" by Yellow kicks in….. The camera cranes back to reveal a birds eye view of me standing in line at starbucks, 20 people back. Checking and rechecking my list of drinks that the 1st AD has forbidden me to screw up. This opening shot is followed with a few quick cuts of me successfully doling out coffee to first team, etc.
As the tempo of the song progresses, there are shots of me passing out walkies, sides, grabbing lunch, and other useful things.
In case this is non union, I have included some shots of me driving a cube van from Galpin, as well as a slo-mo shot of me taking a corner in a loaded up stake bed. Nailed it.
I can only hope you take the time to watch a lock up I do on the corner of alameda and 7th….. It's "real time" and runs about 45 minutes right in the middle of my reel. No one, NO ONE, gets by me. Period.
After this exciting bit, I thought it would be fitting to include a 40 frame montage of me collecting time cards, returning equipment, doing office runs, getting MORE Starbucks, and even cleaning shit and dirty needles from an alleyway downtown.
I am learned in the ways of confidentiality agreements, and never has a cast photo, nor a script ended up on my Facebook page or twitter acct.
And between you and me, I have a clip of me socking a TMZ camera Papparazzi right in the kisser for hassling the talent……. I can send you in a QuickTime file, but thought it prudent to leave off the actual reel.
So anyway, I hope you like what you heard, because unfortunately my computer just crashed, and it does not look like I'm gonna get this reel off in time.
Let me know.
When Dale didn't receive a response, he sent yet another email. Why the hell not.
Hello again,
After not hearing back from you, I really felt like I had did you an injustice by not going into further detail of my PROFESSIONAL Production Assistant highlights. You did after all point out that you not only wanted a Demo Reel, but also a Resume, and you had mentioned checking references. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and since my reel is coming in at just under an hour, (let's see, that's 30 fps = 1800 images a minute….. that's just over 100,000 pictures), I figure I better give you more than the 10 minutes of words I threw together earlier, you deserve it.
I have gone deep into the vault, and pulled some of my PA highlight clips that I feel will really dazzle you. I was saving these for the directors cut, but the thought of 18 hour days, and $125 has made me pull out all the stops. I had better act quickly.
The opening shot of my reel has now been replaced with another birds eye view shot, but this one starts up high from a STRADA CRANE, looking down on me as I exit a nondescript white van, and head for the Starbucks door. The camera swoops down, (and this is the real treat!), as the lens catches up to me, you discover that the shot is actually a LOWMODE steadicam WALKOFF!!! Yowzers. Hows that for F-in sweet! Anyway, the camera follows me into Starbucks, right up to the counter, and pushes in tight on my coffee list……. for the entire crew PLUS the writing staff! (hey, they hook us up with the coffee truck too sometimes). I decided to leave in the previous portion of the video where I successfully dole out the coffees. That after all is the point of my PROFESSIONAL PA reel, to show off my skillz.
Just in case I had lost you early on with my last letter regarding the music by Yellow, well I have changed it up just a bit. I have decided to go with "I've had the time of my life"…… I feel it punctuates the fact that my whole livelihood is tied to the many opportunities I have been given as a PROFESSIONAL PA.
In order to fill your request for a "resume", I have decided to give you something special. In lieu of the traditional bullet points, etc. I am gonna give you a little something that I feel is neat-O, and a real money saver. On a recent film I worked on as a PROFESSIONAL Production Assistant, the Producers had a novel idea to hire only PA's…….. The KEY PA (very professional) would tell the actors where to stand, and tell the other PA's where to put the camera. The other PA's performed various duties such as script supervisor, or run craft service (mostly gum), some of the PA's would even push dolly, or set flags and lights. I should point out that this type of ingenuity only works on non union stuff. But it is a brilliant way to get people to work for free, or deferred pay, or maybe $50 a day. On this particular job I was able to get some great footage that you will see in my reel. I was asked to hit the clapper board before we rolled…….. this resulted in some great in focus shots of my arm and wrist, (easily identifiable by my green RoadID bracelet, and my yellow Livestrong band). Occasionally my face would be in frame, but I only pulled the Slo-Mo bits for the reel, I added them to the montage!
Speaking of the montage, you will see in the new reel (well you never really viewed the first cut), anyway, I have decided to include some clips of me holding an umbrella over an actor. In order to show my versatility, I have included some dreamlike sequences from Mojave Desert where I am holding TWO umbrellas over multiple actors in 115 degree temperatures!! This series of shots is starkly contrasted by some night exteriors of me shielding actors from the rain.
As demo reels go, I really think I nailed it on the head with this one. I was also able to pull some old clips of me balancing about 15 breakfast burritos on my forearm, as I hiked from base camp to the end of the santa monica pier with them. I edited it down some, but rest assured I did not drop any.
If your not at the edge of your seat by this point of the video, then I'm not sure what your looking for. I fly call sheets, I call out audible rollings, I've included some gratuitous close ups, I had that tricky steadicam walkoff (also available on the Steadicam Op's youtube page).
Oh yeah, about the ACTUAL video……. well its still burning copies. I'll get it to you.
Let's hear it for Dale, ladies and gents. Expect to see him promoted to a writing position any minute.

Pearl Lagoon is for sale
Another scam? Is Peter Tsokas (sp?) behind this? Or possible legit?
Anywhere in the world is for sale, you rent it improve it which increases the value and you pay taxes on it.,
and you keep good relations with your neighbors so they don't BURN you out...
People who deal with the local populas on their forighen terms generaly lose their shirt and then want to cry about it rather than learn and profit from the lesson.
it is called trying to do something in someone elses back yard without doing their homework...
SORRY but that is how it is...
I can do thing's others caint.. THE learning curve Baby...
Lyin' Farmer John Wayne
Many of the land for sale in the RAAS require a bit of diplomacy. For example some lots for sale require, or rather "it is recommened" that the buyer pay a yearly fee or Tax to the local community. That is true in some parts of Pearl Lagoon and Monkey Point and would have een been a good strategy with the Cays. This is not because the comunity owns the land, but rather because it is good to get the community on the your side (being the buyer or the seller). This has many obvious advantages. The trouble usually is how to get this tax to the community itself not just in the pockets of the community leaders.
That explains your attitude......
You're a real estate salesman pushing lots in Monkey Point.......How are sales going...???... Punta Mono is a nice place to visit but wouldn't want to live there unless your names Robinson Crusoe.....That was my whole point about buying land in the RAAS...Autonomous region...if things don't work out forget about the Central Government Courts helping you out....Action Certificates might be the only way to get the good guys on your side.........You can call that negative if you want...I call it being Realistic...
["it is good to get the community on your side"] In Monkey Point you BETTER have the community on your Side...and you better make sure it stays that way...that is a mandatory....You make it all sound like a cake walk...and it's far from it.......Pirates in that neck of the woods also.....
Totally Off
You proved why you can only earn a living by getting a salary. Your logic is so flawed that I wonder how you did on your SATs if you got that far.
In addition you are obviously not very well informed (you information is probably from the early 90s), and/or are totally useless in digesting current information.
Re:Totally on....
My information comes from experience.....Sounds to me like yours comes second hand......I figured you were a Real Estate Agent with an agenda..... Monkey Point would not be a place any Gringo would want to live unless they are the Robinso Curusoe type....Alot of people on this site that know the area would back that up.....Can't argue with a know it all know nothing Real Estate agent.....I Just feel sorry for the people that take your line of B.S. seriously....
Now let add some USEFUL info
for those who want to learn some decent information about what Nicaragua (the Central Government) is doing. As I mentioned in a previous post, the government is addressing the issue of unknown community land boundaries (Demarcacion) according to article 40 of law 445 and the formation of CONADETI(Article 41), a commission which will redraw those boundaries. This work is going on as we speak in many areas.
The law further goes to say in article 35 that: http://www.elaw.org/resources/text.asp?id=1516
Arto. 35. Los derechos de propiedad y ocupación histórica de las comunidades indígenas y étnicas prevalecerán sobre títulos emitidos a favor de tercero que nunca las han poseído y que a partir de 1987 pretendan ocuparlas
The rights to the property and the hostorical posession/occupation of said property by Indigenous and ethnic communities, will prevail over titles issued to third parties (Private owners) who NEVER had posession or have posession satrting only in 1987...
This means, as interpreted by lawyers in Nicaragua (I can give you references if you wish) that any titles older than 1987 as long as you had possession.
Now to the real problems... The communities are asking for HUGE tracts of land as their own. For example:
Pearl Lagoon is asking for over 700,000 hectares of communal land (from the original 3000 given to them)and are claiming everything down and around El Bluff to just north of Rama Cay and east of Bluefields... (But not including Patche River, which was the subject of the original post)
Tasbapobni is asking for about the same but starting at the north and with a huge area of conflict with Pearl Lagoon.
The Rama are claiming everything from Rama cay to the border with Costa Rica (including Grey town)
CONADETI Job is to decipher those claims and draw out the new boundaries. All private titles as outlined in article 35 are respected. So in fact there are HUGE tracts of land are very clean and can be owned by anyone... The suggestion that one pays a tax to the community was made to give a benefit back to the communities. The posts Gordo made are ill informed and useless, except for the fact that one has to be careful, like anywhere else in Nicaragua. HUGE investments were lost or are tied up in court battles on the Pacific. There are far fewer problems (Dollar wise) on the Atlantic.. Just do your homework before you buy.
Your pushing land in Tasbaponi also??? Thats a huge majority Miskito village and the only Gringos that could make it there are the Farmer John Wayne types......Just like dirtbag said..["you too could have a piece of Nigeria for next to nothing"] ......LOL
Of course Corn island....Certain areas in Bluefields , Pearl Lagoon and Rama have some decent properties.
Thats the key to Success......Tranquilo
Especialy in Port you want to keep good relations with your neighbors, if you can acomplish that 24/7 365 days a year you can go places.......I got to hand it you...not many people could do what you do..
Pearl Lagoon
I have no idea about Pearl Lagoon. I can tell you that personally, I'd stay away from Tsokos. Although, I've never met him. I can tell you that I own a lot on Corn Island that I bought from my BEST friend who lives there in Nica. My friend Garry and Peter Vincent Fox are very close. In fact, they own a rodeo in Bluefields together as well as a farm with horses, cows, etc. They also own some riverfront property that I've not seen. The "farm property" is beautiful and is along a road that is supposed to be paved soon and would link Managua to Bluefields. They gotta a lotta work to do as I rode this on horseback about a year ago. Peter Fox has been maligned for his alignment with Tsokos. I don't know what happened. I tend to judge people as I get to know them personally. From riding Peter's horses, him picking up the bar tabs, and seeing how he treats his family as well as conducts his business, I can only tell you that he is FIRST CLASS all the way. Maybe I'm naive, but Garry and I have been best friends since 1985. We grew up here in Charleston, South Carolina. He has other property for sale aside from Corn Island on the west coast. Llegitimate!
Who can resist
seems like the seller went to a lot of trouble and effort to "Hype" the product...low money down...you too could have a piece of Nigeria for next to nothing...sorry..I meant Nicaragua.
Patch River
Patch River (or Patche River as it is written in older Bluefields' Registery books) is located off of the lagoon towards the west. It is an area of large farms and plantations. There are several farms with large tracts of land from 300 to 1000+ Hectares. I know several of them. Although I do not know this property, the location of it, Patch River, make sound more credible and legit (but do your home work first). There are many very good properties on the Atlantic coast, including Peter Tsokos lands and Islands. The one thing I am sure of is that he and his lawyer, Peter Martinez, will not get involved in anything that is not a clean title. And no, Peter Martinez is not my lawyer, and Tosokos is not a friend of mine, but I do know them both.
Granada boy....
I don't want to sound negative.....But alot of the ("many very good properties on the Atlantic Coast") Are properties that you can pay for but never will own them.....The Atlantic Coast is an autonomous region.... You buy an island be prepared to share it....How did a Canadian from Granada become such an expert on land sales on the Atlantic Coast???? If I was interested in a parcel I sure wouldn't run out and buy something on your "credible and legit" recomendations.. Buying property and settling on the Coast is for foreigners who definately know what they are doing....Thats my opinion hope it's not too negative for ya....
I will ignore your
use of the word "Boy" and what it says about you.
If you bothered to do your homework instead of you just repeating what you hear, you would know (or at least you would SAY, if you already knew) that there are numerous properties that are VERY clean and there are some that are exactly that, community properties.
You really seem that you have issues with the Coast... You were probably involved in some unsuccessful ventures that left you bitter...
Nothing to do with what I heard...Comes with hands on experience..
Sorry to dissapoint you but never involved in any ventures myself...I collect a straight salary....But I have seen quite a few Gringos get burned by getting involved with some ("VERY clean")deals.
Now I understand your
source of bitterness.. You are one of those Wanna Be's! You are one of those who belittle everyhing because you could it do it yourself! Your Hands on experience is about wathcing others go for things you only wished you could do. You could not do what others were doing, and probably felt sorry for yourself so you looked and celebrated others' failures. And you continue to do so...
You have said enough about yourself, you do not need a Bio anymore....
You proved yourseld the type of person I typically ignore...
I just like to make sure everyones is aware of guys like you.... Dime a Dozen.....
Looks like all the bitterness is coming from a guy(you)who doesn't like the Truth to get in the way of his agenda....
Gordo I know you have plenty of time on the Coast, so does Sherif. He is talking from experience..
I don't doubt it and know you have plenty of experience yourself..And you also know that settling on the Coast isn't as easy as it sounds. Some places on the Coast would be great others would be a disaster...Im definately not trying to discourage anyone just saying it's not as easy as it sounds....
Gordo "Boy" ..
Sherif does know what he is talking about. He is connected and has relevant contacts in Bluefields.
And his bio says a lot more about him than yours does. Something you don't want to share perhaps?
"Pompous" Tom ..
Connected with who ? ? ? The Bluefields Land Barons ? LOL
I was hoping everyone would forget about that :-).
He didn't get it right ?
this is another one?
This is different from....
What HCC said ///...,,,LOL
Lyin' Farmer John Wayne
Is it?
I thought it was about land in Pearl Lagoon for sale. Or is it about you bashing total strangers about whom you know nothing?
Even in the best of situations it would not be easy. Life on the Atlantic is difficult to say the least.
I can't condemn any one for trying....
And if anyone makes an investment without doing their homework...
They deserve to get F###ed.
I have to laugh at ads like this because it IS and ISN'T completely true....
just well worded...
Lyin' Farmer John Wayne
This is the best part... ha ha ha!
HOSPITALITY - CULTURE In the Atlantic coast of Nicaragua, visitors and investors receive "preferential treatment" by the local people. This happens because local people, not only welcome foreign investment but they are also very hospitable. This is a very open-minded society, culturally diverse that welcomes visitors and potential investors
Preferential Treatment
By the Rock men....Drunks and the hanger ons......
You seem
to have issues with the Atlantic Coast... But since you profile doe nto say anything about you or who you are, I can't be sure... But your negativity is amazing...
Wish we could all shine through with the same Positivity as Granada boy.....But after reading your profile I am simply amazed.........And will try harder next time.......(not to sound negative)......
Don't know him from Adam, but do know that he has more interest on the Atlantic than Granada. He may suprise you with his knowledge of Bluefields.

Woodworker's Journal's Chris Marshall shows how the INCRA IBox jig made setting up box joint cuts quicker and easier than a scrap jig when building his serving tray cart for the May/June 2013 issue of Woodworker's Journal.
Thick pieces of wood sourced from a local sawmill provide a sturdy base for a large slab-topped sofa table, put together with loose tenon joinery.
Woodworker's Journal editor-in-chief Rob Johnstone visits a few of the sawmills in his neck of the woods to show a glimpse of the milling process and give you an idea of the quality of wood you can receive from these small businesses.
Sandor Nagyszalanczy takes you step-by-step through the processes of safely setting up and making cuts with your chainsaw.
Turning expert Ernie Conover explains how to create your own properly sized bushings to install on your benchtop grinder, replacing the ill-fitting and poorly sized plastic bushings that come with most modern wheels.

So…spring break had me a little MIA. I was catching up with friends, and attempting to recover from all of the fun I squeezed into every waking hour (which was roughly 20 out of every 24) of 2.25 days of SXSW. It was amazing. Over the next few days I'll be sharing some I my favorite bands from my South By experience. A few I was familiar with, but most were wonderful new discoveries, and I hope to share them with you.
I hope all of those who made the journey to South By enjoyed the music, the culture, and beauty of Austin. We welcome you to Texas, but please don't move into my city!

It's bad enough when we hear about dogs -- sometimes pit bulls, sometimes other breeds -- attacking children. But this is crazy! Reportedly 2-year-old Alfie Hall was playing with his mother and some other relatives in a playground in the U.K. when a hawk swooped down and attacked the toddler's face, leaving him bloody and almost gouging out his eye and ripping off part of his ear. But this wasn't some scene from The Birds, wherein wild animals go insane. No, this was actually a neighborhood teen's pet bird. Apparently there are no local laws banning the keeping of wild birds as pets -- though there's a ban on pit bulls. Go figure!
Little Alfie was in a designated play area for children in the building where he lives when a nearby teen, who kept the hawk as a pet, allowed his hawk to fly around the playground. Locals said they'd previously seen the teen with his hawk on his arm. Apparently there is some trend of people keeping hawks as "status pets," like pit bulls used to be ... I guess before they banned pit bulls!
The hawk reportedly flew to a nearby tree and ignored his owner's calls to return to him. And then he suddenly swooped down and latched his talons onto Alfie's face. Hawks can apparently fly up to 200 mph.
The boy's mother, Elysia Hall, 23, says that when the hawk attacked her son, her brother ran over, screaming, trying to scare the bird away. The boy was rushed to the hospital.
The teen bird owner was arrested but later released. No word on whether he was allowed to keep his pet. Hopefully not. You have to wonder about this teen's parents. Why on earth are they letting him keep a hawk as a pet?! And inside an apartment building?!
The hawk didn't do anything wrong. It's being a hawk. It probably thought the kid was dinner. Wild animals might seem like they're tamed, but you just never know when they're going to revert to instinct. Keeping a hawk -- or any other wild creature, especially one that can do major damage to a human -- is incredibly stupid and irresponsible. But you can only imagine that the teen thought he had it all under control. People who keep exotic pets -- whether it's a hawk, a chimp, or a tiger -- are trying to "control" something they can't control. I think they do it when they feel that they are not in control of their lives. Unfortunately, it's the animal and other people who suffer.
Luckily it looks like the hawk missed Alfie's eye and his ear was sewn back on. I hope the poor tyke doesn't have physical scars -- though he's bound to have a few emotional ones.
Do you know anyone who keeps a wild animal for a pet?
Image via bagsgroove/Flickr
I don't have a problem with people keeping them as pets, as long as they're doing so responsibly and with safety in mind. Falconry is kind of cool, but the people I know who keep birds of prey are very careful, and don't let very many people around their animals.
I think a hawk is really cool and acceptable for someone who has experience with these birds or takes a few classes training with the bird. It sounds like a tragic mistake. I dont blame the kids or the parents and hope the bird isnt put down. Even my little parakeet nipped me a few times. Im sure if she was as big as a hawk who knows what damage she could have done! Even cats attack people. Dont compare pitbulls to hawks either. Thats stupid they are completely different animals
Why the need to say , sometimes pitbulls. That has nothing to do with this story !
I love how the writer attacks falconry with no knowledge on the subject, then some how links pitbulls into the mix. I guess the moral is you must be a responsible pet owner? Where exactly do they get these writers?
I see nothing wrong with falconry as long as it's done responsibly. As I see nothing wrong with keeping pit bulls as long as it's done responsibly.
You kind of missed the point. The issue isn't that people are keeping a "wild" animal. People have kept tame hawks and falcons in for nearly as long as we've kept cats and dogs. The problem was a freak accident caused by a teen mis-handling the animal and having it in an inappropriate environment (a playground).
You propose a ban on "exotic birds," but are you completely overlooking the fact that hundreds of thousands of people own parrots-- which are no more domesticated than raptors can and do occasionally attack people? Are you proposing that we ban the ownership of all birds besides canaries (the only completely domesticated pet bird)? This little tirade seems very short-sighted and ill-considered to me. Support responsible pet ownership and penalize irresponsible owners (as happened in this case-- the owner was arrested). Be proactive, not antagonistic.
For the record, the Migratory Bird Act makes it illegal for people living in the U.S. to own almost any bird native to North America-- including the Harris's hawk, which was responsible for this attack in the U.K.-- and raptors aren't common pets anywhere in the world. The idea that they're some kind of popular fashion-pet is silly and factually incorrect.
I agree with jjessers, why mention pit bulls? Why not just say dogs attacks?

Penn and Teller--Patriotism and Ambiguity
7 comments:
- LL said...
I'm a little uncomfortable with the use of the word "patriotism" in a blog because of the anger the Obama Nation's minions feel toward those who are so politically incorrect as to use the "P" word. Simply using the word brands you as potentially pro-life, suspiciously pro-military, uncomfortably in favor of private ownership of firearms, as somebody who might attend a church or oppose illegal immigration.
In the historical context, patriots stood between tyranny and freedom on Lexington Green and shed their blood to buy time for others in Concord and they "fired the shot heard round the world." The radical left who are currently in office want to put you on watch lists if you use the "P" word. What a paradox that the word Patriot now means "enemy of the State" in some quarters in Washington DC.

They have been doing this act for many years. I am happy that there are some entertainers who are truly patriotic. I have been a fan of these guys for many, many years and it has been great to see how their act has evolved over time. If you get a chance, check out their Showtime show, "Bullshit." They debunk a lot of stuff in their own way. The Dihydrogen Monoxide petition is classic!

Tom Harbour, Director of Fire and Aviation Management, U.S. Forest Service
The Forest Service is bracing for a bad wildfire season. Drought and warm weather are a recipe for disaster. But that's not the agency's only issue. Last year it ran out of money to fight fires. It's hampered by old equipment, and replacements seem hard to come by. Tom Harbour, the Forest Service's director of Fire and Aviation Management, told Federal Drive hosts Tom Temin and Emily Kopp what preventative measures the service is taking.

Budget cuts cause shortage of funds to fight wildfires
Only $50 million remain for the U.S. Forest Service to fight wildfires. The agency is diverting $600 million from timber, recreation and other areas to fill the gap. Sequestration forced cuts of 500 firefighters and 50 engines.

Multiple current and former Forest Service employees say they've faced sexual harassment and physical assault while on the job, and some have lost their positions for speaking up. Now, they are fighting back by filing a class action EEOC complaint for unfair treatment. The Agriculture Department, the parent agency of the Forest Service, says it is tackling a history of discrimination with more training and accountability as part of a cultural transformation program.

If you live in this state, it hardly matters whether you went to the University of Georgia or are a fan of the Bulldogs; I don't have to explain who Larry Munson is. Nor do I have to recount his most famous calls from his four decades of radio broadcasts of Bulldog football; you've probably heard them somewhere along the way. Nor do I have to make a list of my favorite calls; they're his most famous calls — Lindsay Scott, the hobnail boot, sugar falling from the sky, etc. — and they're famous for a reason.
Just about every team has a broadcaster. And many of them are, as others have noted, more technically proficient than Munson was. But Munson was famous, beloved, cherished, because he was tradition personified.
Larry Munson became the Bulldogs' play-by-play man before my parents had drivers licenses, and by the time he hung up his earphones, my firstborn was in the womb. In thousands upon thousands of other families of Georgia fans, he covered more generations than that. He was a bridge not just from Dooley to Goff to Donnan to Richt, not just from Walker to Hearst to Edwards to Moreno; for many, he was a bridge from great-grandfather to grandfather to father to son.
And a bridge, too, from an era where college football was a passionate tradition to an era where it's every bit as big a business as professional sports leagues. Munson became an institution among Georgia fans not just because of his passion and ability to lay unforgettable soundtracks to moments of athletic greatness, as great as those were. Even at the relatively late date when I was growing up, televised games were not yet ubiquitous, and Munson's broadcast was often the only way to keep up with a game in real time (before it was called "real time") if you weren't in the stadium. His voice played, yes, alongside muted TV sets and in the wireless headphones of Bulldogs fans at the games, but also in the background of a Saturday afternoon household project, from porches as men in red sweatshirts raked leaves, in cars as families took weekend drives, in living rooms as families stopped what they were doing and huddled to hear how the hunkering down would end.
So, it was in between all the great moments that he called and which all Georgia fans cherish — and even for a proud football program, a number of games will begin and end in between a Jacksonville miracle and the spectacle of sugar falling from the sky on the plains of Auburn — that he endeared himself to us: with overestimates of the size and speed of the opposing team, with pleadings against the clock to go faster or slower as the silver britches required, with that periodic question that lent a name to a white English bulldog named Uga VI, a.k.a. "Uga V's Whatchagot Loran."
You don't get many chances in life to feel intimately connected to one of The Greats. This Thanksgiving week, we Bulldogs are thankful that, with Larry Munson, we were.

Thankful indeed…
Thankful I grew up with his voice on Saturday afternoons and thankful his voice will remain a part of those days yet to come.

Absolutely the best ever. I was at UGA in the '70's and Munson was IT. I did all those things; turn down the T.V. and later listened to the out-of-town games as I did yard work or whatever after I graduated! (Listened to him in Sanford Stadium, too!) Back in the day if you were really lookin' for trouble you could have gone by the tracks and something bad about Munson! The Bulldog nNation weeps today.
November 21st, 2011

My bad; previous message shoulda' had "said" something bad about Munson to the track folks! (You'da never lived to tell it!)

One of the iconic voices on sports radio…you'd recognize it anywhere. I'm not sure anyone could fill those shoes. He will be missed.

We all took a hob-nailed boot to the heart this weekend. We'll miss you Larry!!!

Good column as always, Kyle.
I disagree about Munson not being proficient. He did a great job of providing a mental image. Even in his later years, he described the formations, substitutions, and strategies.
He was no Harry Caray, fumbling through exotic names and messing up statistics. He was on top of it. Too bad he was stereotyped as out of it just because he was older.
Rest in peace, Larry. Go dawgs.
November 21st, 2011

Really nice piece of writing Kyle.

I listened to Larry for 4 decades! Always looked forward to the broadcast. It was a treat every Saturday growing up in Georgia during football season. How many broadcasters can you say that you couldn't wait to hear? Not many. He was one of a kind.
November 21st, 2011

He was great describing Walker running over people.
LSU will crush the dawgs and win it this year.
Geaux Tigers!

I've never been a Georgia fan, or a football fan for that matter, but I remember with very fond memories my early days as a disc jockey, working the Georgia game, with Larry Munson as the voice of the Dogs.
Thank goodness before long I had Saturday off, but that voice has always had the ability to cast my memory back to those days and remind me of the little AM station I started on, the girls who used to hang out there with me, etc. etc. RIP to a legend.

Before the Georgia Bulldogs football, and before the Atlanta Braves baseball, Larry Munson was the voice of my Vanderbilt Commodores basketball. His games were imaginably exciting for a kid during those early glory years for a small private school. I remember a golden voice giving the lousy officiating an appropriate cursing during the NCAA tournaments, I think in 1965.
November 21st, 2011
1:27 pm
While GT fans primarily disagree with UGA fans simply on principle because it was what we learned at school (right after Calculus IV), those GT fans who remain human must whole-heartedly agree that Larry Munson was one of the great ambassadors of football tradition in this state. May his tenure as king of the UGA football airwaves never be forgotten.
November 21st, 2011
1:36 pm
I have listened and watched both GT and UGA for the last 40 years. Larry Munson was a class act. RIP, Larry.
November 21st, 2011

Very nice writeup, Kyle. I am not a football fan but you made me wish I had heard Larry Munson.
November 21st, 2011
2:17 pm
The 2011/12 Dawgs will always be grateful they "sent Larry out" with a win over Kentucky. They would never forgive themselves if they lost the last game Larry listened to.
November 21st, 2011
2:47 pm
Larry Munson has joined Lewis Grizzard in watching over the Dawgs from the ultimate sky box.
November 21st, 2011

can you imagine sitting in on a conversation with the likes of larry, lewis and al C I R A L D O in heaven?
November 21st, 2011
4:29 pm
Good column Kyle, he will be missed like no other broadcaster. I remember when UGA got two TV appearances per year and, on those occasions, is was rare that we listened to the TV announcers very long before deciding it was just not as exciting, so we switched to Munson. Bulldog radio has never been the same and probably never will be.
November 21st, 2011
5:39 pm
RIP Mr. Munson – a wordsmith on the radio just as Furman Bisher is in the newspaper
And remember folks, UGA is the University of Georgia; Uga (1-VIII) is the mascot bulldawg…
November 21st, 2011
6:00 pm
GOD: "Well, Larry, I'm so glad you're finally here! Lewis has missed you as well as a lot of others. One thing I can now say because you're with us: I (of course!) knew about the Lindsey Scott play but I didn't say anything 'cause I wanted you to tell the Dwag Nation about it. No one else I have ever put down there in Athens could have given the play-by-play of that game like you; and, I must say, all the other games. I certainly enjoyed listening to them on Saturdays."
"You're one of my greatest creations and I'm happy to have shared yo with the University of GA. Pardon me for saying this, but welcome into Heaven..to a Damn Good Dawg."
November 21st, 2011
8:47 pm
Imagining the conversation between Larry and Lewis Grizzard today! Two DGDs
November 22nd, 2011
11:33 am
I am a Vol fan (full disclosure) but I also am a Larry Munson fan. As a kid, my Dad and I had two favored radio announcers: John Ward and Larry Munson…thanks for a well written article that brings back a lot of memories. Rest in Peace Mr. Munson.

FAIRBANKS-The Ice Dogs got back to the little things and they made a difference as Fairbanks splits its opening home series of the season with Corpus Christi Ice Rays. The Ice Rays won Friday night 3-2 but the Ice Dogs corrected some things and skated to a 4-1 win last night.
One thing that was noticeable was the defensive. The stout defensive play of the Ice Dogs was the highlight of the night. Not only were the Fairbanks defensemen more aggressive and physical but they made shots for the Ice Rays hard to come by. When they did have shots they were high contested. If a shot a got through a hot goalie was between the pipes. First year goalie Patrick Munson, made some big saves and the only goal he allowed was in an empty net sitaution with a little over two minutes remaining. It was his first start at home and second win of the year.
The Ice Dogs were not playing around as Viktor Liljegren's fifth goal of the season put the Ice Dogs up 1-0 just 1:48 into the first period. About 10 minutes later Kyle Lee put one home after the Ethan Somoza and Hans Gorowsky assists.
The second period went scoreless and it wasn't uneventfull. Duggie Lagrone got into a fight Jessie Shelton and sparked the crowd and his team. It was similar to what Lonnie Clary did on Friday night.
In the third period rookie David Kaplan gave the Ice Dogs a 3-0 lead. His goal was courtesy of Lee and Jacob Hetz after five minutes of elapsed time. Hetz would provide the final margin with an empty net goal with four seconds left.
Lee led the Ice Dogs with a goal and two assists. Munson made 23 saves on 24 shots. Fairbanks shot 39 times on goalies Forbes Ploszaj and Ben Meyers.
Fairbanks is now 8-2 in their first team games of the season. Next week they have a three game homestand starting Thursday against the Midwest division foe Coulee Region Chill.

No More Gym Intimidation
Fitness centers work to help beginners feel at ease.
By Leanna Skarnulis
Reviewed By Louise Chang, MD
Joann Goodman remembers the first time she ventured into a gym. It was in the 1970s, when leotards, tights, and leg warmers were in vogue. But it wasn't just the fashions that made Goodman feel like fleeing.
"I hated getting undressed in front of other women," says Goodman, now 55. "And I looked around and wondered, 'Where are all the fat people?'"
Goodman not only hated that gym experience, she also says she loathes exercise. Yet the former social worker began working out regularly about 1.5 years ago, after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. "I've dropped 75 to 80 pounds, my diabetes is in check, my arthritic knees are better, my blood pressure is down, and in terms of my emotional health, I can't even describe the change," she tells WebMD.
Her success has come from working three to four times a week with a trainer in an Austin, Texas, exercise studio called Goddessfit. Studio owner Connie Barron describes the purple and turquoise decor as "colors that would make a man run for cover." Sessions are private and tailored to individual preferences. For example, once Barron learned her exercise-phobic client enjoyed dancing, that became the basis of Goodman's aerobic workout.
Barron's studio is just one exercise emporium that is working to help take the intimidation out of fitness, especially for beginners. That's quite a change for an industry long known for its ads showcasing perfectly buff bodies.
Redefining the Market
One catalyst for this change, experts agree, has been the runaway success of the Texas-based Curves for Women gym franchise.
Business analysts had proclaimed the fitness industry oversaturated when Curves began franchising in 1995. Yet Curves has since redefined the market by catering to a group that previously shied away from gyms: overweight, middle-aged women -- no men (or mirrors) allowed. Today, the chain that made the 30-minute workout famous, boasts of more than 7,000 locations.
The circuit training program at Curves alternates 30-second intervals on resistance machines with bouts of light aerobic exercise. The full workout -- twice around the circuit -- takes 30 minutes.
"Several larger gyms have circuit approaches similar to Curves," says Cedric X. Bryant, PhD, chief exercise physiologist for the American Council on Exercise in San Diego. And yes, he says, beginners can get health benefits from the 30-minute workout -- especially if they add half-hour walks and/or bike rides around the neighborhood as they become more fit.
But the lure of Curves goes beyond the workout. "A large part of the appeal," Bryant says, "is working out with people who don't look like the spandex-clad women you might see in other facilities. You can feel you're amongst a peer group you can relate to."
That's the feeling the 24 Hour Fitness chain is aiming for, says Kevin Steele, PhD, vice president of sales. "We go out of our way to create an inclusive environment," he says. "It begins with our ads, which show people of all ages doing different kinds of activities. When you enter one of our facilities, you'll see a spacious, wide-open area with high ceilings, and relaxing, neutral colors -- not an intimidating cave-like area where buff guys are lifting weights." Further more, he says, "[their] newer facilities have pools, which are very good for people who are severely overweight because water neutralizes their weight as they do aquatic exercises." Even Gold's Gym, the bodybuilders' haven made famous by the movie Pumping Iron with Arnold Schwarzenegger, is working to accommodate nonathletes. Some locations provide child care, and programs such as Pilates and yoga.
Still not convinced? Experts say the benefits of going to a gym can far outweigh the initial discomfort.
At a good gym, you will get guidance about the proper way to exercise to prevent injury. You'll also get a comprehensive program --combining strength training, aerobics, and stretching -- for maximum health and fitness benefits. And you may see quicker progress toward your goals.
"One thing they teach people is the importance of resistance training," says Bryant. "We know it helps preserve and increase lean muscle mass, so you become a better calorie burner. People who are overweight will see quick success."
The gym is also a great place to meet people who will support you. Staff and fellow exercisers can lend motivation and encouragement that you won't get working out alone at home with an exercise video or treadmill.
Experts say that you should choose a gym and exercise programs based on your goals, motivation, and needs. What may work for your spouse or best friend isn't necessarily for you.

Identification and Estimation of a Labour Market Model for the Tradeables Sector: the Greek Case
AbstractThis paper derives a theoretical labour market model for the tradeables sector of a small open economy. Using Greek manufacturing data and applying multivariate cointegrating techniques, two cointegrating vectors are estimated based on the a priori restrictions provided by the theoretical model; a labour demand and a real exchange rate equation, respectively. The short-run estimates of the model suggest that labour decisions not only depend upon past disequilibria in the labour market, but also on the discrepancy between the real exchange rate and its implied long-run equilibrium relationship, that is, the magnitude of the real exchange rate misalignment.

Standardized Testing Costs States $1.7 Billion a Year, Study Says
Standardized-testing regimens cost states some $1.7 billion a year overall, or a quarter of 1 percent of total K-12 spending in the United States, according to a new report on assessment finances.
The report released Nov. 29 by the Washington-based Brown Center on Education Policy, at the Brookings Institution, calculates that the test spending by 44 states and the District of Columbia amounted to $65 per student on average in grades 3-9 based on the most recent test-cost data the researchers could gather.

Tifton - Music, food, and fun. Things you would find at almost any party, but this isn't your typical fiesta.
The Fiesta Del Pueblo was first organized eight years ago to encourage Hispanics to interact with others in the community, and for others to learn about the Hispanic culture.
Organizer Luz Marti says, "I see so many of these families...This is probably the highlight of their week, the highlight of their year."
But the fiesta offers more than just food and fun. There were booths set up to educate people on illnesses as well. And, at the end of the fiesta a Queen will be crowned to represent the Hispanic community. Veronica Cervantes hopes to be that Queen. She says, "The candidates are all trying to represent the community...a Hispanic girl representing the Hispanic community." A community that is growing larger everyday.
More than 15,000 people attended the festival last year, and even more were expected Saturday.
