TORONTO – Winding up in the high slot at practice on Friday, Phil Kessel wired a shot low past the right pad of James Reimer.
A 37-goal scorer one season ago, the 25-year-old has yet to score at this very early stage for the Leafs. Through the first four games, Kessel has attempted 20 shots (most in the league entering Friday's action) and unusually failed to find the back of the net. Deeming it unusual is past performance. Kessel is a notoriously fast starter.
A look at his first six seasons in the league reveals a player who is prone to quick sprints out of the gate.
Early Season Goal Production
* Through four games
However unlikely, Kessel's slow start shouldn't be of major concern yet. In each of the Leafs' four games – two wins, two losses – he has amassed a number of quality chances, failing only to score. At some point, logic would dictate those pucks finding twine.
All that being said, Kessel is paid to score and at a certain point collecting chances without finishing just won't cut it. He knows as much and has shown his frustration in kind, slamming a water bottle on the bench in Pittsburgh. "That's natural for that to happen," head coach Randy Carlyle opined, "but we don't want to display that and we told him so. You don't have to display that to the opposition. You have to push through those things. What we've tried to do is not focus on the negatives, focus on the positives and we have a plan and [he should] focus on the next shift that you're going to create another scoring chance on versus what you just did or what the goalie did to you. Focus on being in the present and not in the past."
Carlyle added that team-wide power play struggles (1-for-12 in the last two games) have also played a role in Kessel's stunted start. Last season, he scored 10 of his 37 goals on the man advantage, also fifth in the league with 27 markers at even-strength.

Under Brian France no decision comes based on common sense. I think this chase tweaking and schedule shuffling will do nothing more then make the sport I love even more convoluted. Some of these decisions will alienate even more fans. If self destruction is what nas$car is seeking then they're going about it the right way.

Do the words 'Schedule Shuffling' and 'Chase Tweaking' scare anyone else?
By admin | August 5, 2010
By Richard Allen
Over the last few days there have been words like 'Schedule Shuffling' and 'Chase Tweaking' coming from the powers that be in the world of NASCAR. Considering the string of changes having been made over the past decade or so I have to wonder what sort of thoughts are being conjured up inside the offices of the sport's major decision makers.
Now bear in mind, there are a number of changes I have advocated for a while now. If getting rid of the Chase can be considered a tweak then that would be one. Moving Darlington to a night race on Labor Day weekend would be another. Taking one of California's dates and the homestead date would be others. However, my guess is that at best one of those things might happen. My fear is, the changes that are going to come about will be the exact opposite of what many 'old fans' would like to see take place.
The same people who will deciding the new direction for NASCAR are the same people who have devised such ideas as the Chase for the Championship, the Car of Tomorrow, two dates for California Speedway, a date for Homestead and leaving the sport's Southern roots. And that is not to mention 'Lucky Dogs', the wave around, etc… So yes, there is reason to be concerned for the future of this sport when the idea of change is brought up.
In my mind, I can envision something like a Chase tweak in which a driver is kicked off during each week of the final ten races, unless the fans vote to allow that driver to stay. Or, I can envision that after a few Chase races the leading non-Chase driver standing on the front stretch of some track being asked to spin a wheel and if the wheel lands on a certain space he will be allowed into the Chase at that point.
Hopefully those visions are only the product of an always suspicious mind and far from actual reality.
The schedule shuffling is just as worrisome as the Chase tweaking. This is an organization that gave two dates to the track in Fontana which seemingly does not get enough people at both its races to equal one full house under the guise of opening a previously untapped market.
It is a poorly kept secret that Kansas is going to pick up a second date. If that comes at the expense of California then it will probably be a good move on NASCAR's part. If it comes at the expense of Martinsville then many of the remaining 'old fans' may very well throw in the towel.
Atlanta, one of the sport's traditional venues, has already lost one of its races when Speedway Motorsports, Inc. decided to shift one of their given dates to their track in Kentucky which did not previously have a place on the Sprint Cup schedule. In fairness, Atlanta often had scores of empty seats while Kentucky appears to be very excited over the prospect of hosting NASCAR's top division.
Still, I am waiting to see the finished product of the 'Schedule Scuffling' and 'Chase Tweaking'. Until then my mind is cooking a number of possible scenarios, most of which are quite scary.

Been scared since BF took over and said he is going to make quick decisions and not go slow like his Dad. Bill Jr thought his decisions through and even if you did not agree they did not create 5 more to every one he tried to fix.

The powers to be in NASCAR seem to be following a fairly recent trend of trying to attract the young, hip and trendy. That has proven to be a disaster for a lot of places. Look at what it did for such a seemingly cash cow industry like the casinos in Atlantic City and Las Vegas. They have both seen dramatic drops since they started catering to them. And so has NASCAR. The key word is TRENDY… At some point they wander off to the next trendy activity (Underwater rock climbing?).
My suggestions would be to get rid of the chase so all 36 races count. Change the points to get rid of some drivers settling for a 6-12 finish and rack up points. make the top 5 spots worth racing for and make it really worthwhile to win as far as points go.
And finally I would reduce the front air dam (delete the splitter completely) to something between the front wheels and no lower than 1″ off the ground with the suspension bottomed out. It would reduce downforce but it would make the cars less aero sensitive and being more of a handful to drive would test the drivers so that a champion really did earn it.

yeah, they scare me too, only because NASCAR hasn't got 2 brain cells to rub together so as usual they will screw it all up. As you said, the only tweak I want to see if to dump the chase altogether. Then maybe the powers that be could take a look at the weather map and figure out the schedule based on climate and potential wintry/nasty weather for their spring dates. Heck, it can't be THAT hard. They might also considering doing one race at each track, so they could add "new" tracks to the schedule rather than the "it belongs to us and has a casino" so therefore deserves a 2nd date. Please. If I go to the track, its to watch a race, not gamble in the casino — I know because I go to Dover -

IT NEEDS A BIGGER BATTer…zzz…
Wouldn't it just be easier to waterproof a phone without hardware buttons on the front?
Maybe it's so that they are responsive when wet, since software and capacitive buttons would not.
Point taken.
But no one's going to use only hardware buttons when wet.. They are gonna touch the screen too.. So if the whole touch works fine when wet y can't we have on screen software buttons instead of hardware buttons.!
Seems like the only way that could possibly be implemented is if they could detect the difference between a wet finger and just water. Usually the digitizer looks for the points of high-conductivity (your finger), so maybe compared to the water the finger would be low conductivity, and it could take touch inputs that way.
If Xperia Z2 can work totally fine under water with software buttons why cant S5 active?
all that works underwater on the Z2 is the dedicated camera shutter button
Don't the Sonys claim to be usable with water on the screen?
I think it only works to take pictures, because of the dedicated camera hardware button.
Will it be like the s4 Active: not quite the grunt n guts of the real s4?

Women's Golf
Caroline Powers Named WGCA Honorable Mention All-American
May 29, 2013
EAST LANSING, Mich. - Senior Caroline Powers has been recognized on the Women's Golf Coaches Association (WGCA) All-America Team, garnering honorable mention accolades. Powers is the first Spartan in program history to earn WGCA All-America honors three times (honorable mention in 2011; honorable mention in 2012).
Named the 2013 Big Ten Women's Golfer of the Year, Powers completed her career as the school's all-time record holder in scoring average (74.26) and owns the top three single-season scoring averages in program history, including her record 73.53 she set as a sophomore.
Powers helped lead the Spartans to back-to-back Big Ten Championships in 2011 and 2012 and a school-record finish at the 2013 NCAA Championships as the team tied for ninth place. She qualified as an individual for the 2011 NCAA Championships and placed sixth, tied for the highest ever by a Spartan at nationals.
In the classroom, Powers graduated in May with a 3.87 GPA in elementary education and has earned All-American Scholar honors from the NGCA three times and has been named a Big Ten Distinguished Scholar twice. She was recently named the 2013 recipient of the prestigious Dinah Shore Trophy Award by the LPGA Foundation, which is awarded to a female collegiate golfer who excels in both academics and athletics, while demonstrating outstanding leadership skills and community service.
In her senior season, Powers posted six top-10 finishes in MSU's 11 tournaments and compiled a 73.81 average, the third lowest in school history. Powers finished runner-up at the Big Ten Championships with a 3-over 219 and was named to the All-Championships Team for the third straight year. The three-time first-team All-Big Ten selection closed the season ranked No. 30 in the nation by Golfweek and had the highest Golfweek/Sagarin rating in Big Ten competition with a 72.11.
Powers tied for first place at the Central District Invitational on Feb. 19 in Parrish, Fla., and also placed second at the Mary Fossum Invitational and the Mason Rudolph Championship in the fall. She led the team in birdies (91) and shot under-par in six rounds.
The Bowling Green, Ohio, native was named Big Ten Golfer of the Week three times this season and six times in her career, which is third most in conference history.
Powers placed in the top five in 14 career tournaments and in the top 10 on 21 occasions, including three tournament victories (2011 Lady Buckeye Invitational, 2011 Mary Fossum Invitational, 2013 Central District Invitational). She qualified for the U.S. Women's Open on May 14 and will compete in the 68th annual tournament June 27-30 in Southampton, N.Y.

We bought two kumquat trees on impulse on my husband's birthday in April. Somehow I misplaced the tag that came with them and only noted at the time that they were kumquat in the genus Fortunella.
Each is only 2 ft tall. I planted them near the garden hose so I can water them frequently until they are more established. There is mulch around each to keep the soil moist and to reduce weeds in the area. They are on the east side of the house in full sun from 7:00 AM – 4: PM when the shadow of the house finally provides shade. I realized a few days ago that one of them had a flower, and by today there were a several flowers on the same tree. The other one has no flowers yet. The flowers are tiny, about a half an inch in diameter. Although the flowers are tiny, there is so much in my yard that is new and just getting established, that it is a relief and a joy to see the flowers.
This IFAS summary includes a description of kumquat fruit of the 4 varieties grown in Florida. Once I have fruit on the trees, I should be able to determine what variety they are based on the fruit.
Apparently kumquat have a number of disease possibilities, so I will have to watch for potential problems. This crop/pest management information should help to diagnose and to determine treatment if they develop any problems.
Added Note (5/24/10): I found the tag and notes on the kumquat trees. They are the Fortunella margarita hybrid known as the Nagami Centennial variety. They are cold hardy and will have egg-shaped bright-orange fruits. See University of California Riverside website for additional photos and details.

Something as simple as carrying a mini-flashlight, a whistle, or some pepper-spray around with you can make a big difference.
With a booming community, knowing how to keep yourself safe is becoming more and more important.
College students gathered at the MSU Beaver Dam this week to learn about self-defense and the abuse of drugs and alcohol.
The Community Problem Solving Class put on the event as a way to raise awareness about keeping Minot safe.
Students were shown various booths covering issues such as alcohol awareness, abduction awareness, and stats about crime rates in North Dakota.
This Safety Summit was an opportunity for a unique approach on getting everyone aware of safety situations around them.
The event included speakers from the Minot Police department, self-defense activities, and a drawing for a 200 dollar prize at the end of the day.
(Alex Buchholz, Member of MSU Community Problem Solving Class) "Definitely in Minot I feel we, we feel really safe, we have a safe community. But, there's always, you always need to be aware of your surroundings and to not just get into that routine that you think you're super safe when there is possibilities for everything."
The Problem Solving Class is reaching out further by bringing the same summit to the mall on April 13th.

It's been a black year for Grooveshark so far as all major recording labels are suing the service on grounds that vary from contractual disputes to copyright infringement. While being dragged into litigation, Grooveshark will "strive to maintain an open and unlimited platform that accommodates the rightsholder," reads a TorrentFreak report.
November 2011: Universal Music sues the streaming service for copyright infringement, claiming damages of hundreds of millions of dollars. Sony and Warner follow suit in December 2011, and this year started with EMI suing Grooveshark over a contractual dispute.
The anti-Grooveshark "campaign" extends even outside US' borders, with a Danish ISP being court ordered to block all access to Grooveshark.
As for Universal Music's claims, a Grooveshark insider told TorrentFreak that the accusations are false; on this matter, Grooveshark has always aimed for obtaining licenses all around the world, speaking directly to artists and continuously building a system that helps rights holders. Apparently, that's not enough to please the record labels.
"Grooveshark wants to keep the platform Open. That is to say, even after all the deals are inked, the company wants artists to be able to share without having to go through a label. That's Grooveshark's definition of open," TorrentFreak was told.
Another issue is that Grooveshark intends to keep their platform and musical market unlimited.
"That doesn't mean that users don't have to pay and it certainly doesn't mean that record labels don't get paid, but users might pay with their attention or their interaction, or (and I know this is controversial) with their data," the insider said.
Having a user-base of over 35 million, Grooveshark can be a real asset to the record labels, if only they would know how to use it in their advantage; but things are not that simple when it comes to multi-billions dollars businesses, especially when conflict of interests unsettle the delicate pocket of a corporatist dinosaur.
"If a 13-year old kid can't get access to music because she or he doesn't have a credit card and Grooveshark can earn enough money to pay a record label off of a few survey questions then that should be net positive for the label, the artist, the user and Grooveshark," TF's source noted.
"The alternative is piracy."
And speaking of money, the insider further details:
"As far as I can tell, it's not that labels don't want money. It's that they don't want Grooveshark's type of money. They see that model as a slippery slope."
"The last thing they want is for artists to be able to make a living in a way that undercuts the 1-to-1 value of recording to dollar. It's seen as an attack on their power base, which is not what Grooveshark set out to do."
Although Grooveshark is supporting equity and revenues sharing – aiming for a better business model that favors both record labels and consumers, Universal, Warner and Sony chose litigation over reason in what seems to be a dispute over the DMCA.
"The DMCA Safe Harbors are not a loophole," Grooveshark's insider said.
"They are necessary for the progress of society and are meant for situations EXACTLY like Grooveshark's. It's not something to use for protection or to hide behind. It's meant to allow the development of technologies that are potentially revolutionary. That doesn't mean that if you operate within them, you shouldn't be expected to reward content creators for their work and that's not what we want them to mean."
"When record labels use threat of criminal prosecution as a negotiating tactic you are left with two choices; Continue working to improve the user experience, build tools for those rights holders that do want to participate and do your best to walk the straight and narrow of the law. Or stop innovating in an industry that is desperate for innovation."
"Which is the principled position?"

A woman in Delaware County jumped into icy water to save a dog that ran onto a pond and broke through the ice Monday morning.
Deputy U.S. Marshal Nicole Ralston is front and center when it comes to tracking fugitives.
Each day, her life can be at risk, but it was nothing like what she dealt with Monday morning.
Ralston watched as a golden retriever ran by her in a park and onto a pond that appeared to be frozen over.
That's when that dog fell through the ice and into the freezing water.
"The poor dog was swimming and she was slowing down. The boys were saying, 'Mom, don't let the dog die,'" Ralston said.
Ralston sent her son and his friend for help and she starting to inch onto the ice to try and help.
"I went to reach for the dog and crashed through," Ralston said.
Now neck deep in the icy water, Ralston put her hand inside the dog's collar and flipped the dog up and to safety. But she was anything but safe.
"My legs weren't working the way I thought they should be. My body started to shut down," Ralston said.
Running out of time and energy, she focused, and pulled one leg up on the ice, then threw herself over and to safety.
"I feel very lucky, I'm here," Ralston said.
Hours later, the owners of that dog, Roxie, found out exactly what happened, and looked for Ralston to thank her personally.
"[It's] wonderful to know that there are still people like that in the world, that would risk their own life to take care of an animal," Sean Fyffe said.

September 18, 2014
SEALE, Ala. (AP) -- An Alabama sheriff says a teen who described himself as a white supremacist made journal entries about a plot to bomb classmates three days after the Newtown school massacre.
Russell County Sheriff Heath Taylor tells The Associated Press that he believes the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary was a factor because the first date in the boy's journal describing the plan was Dec. 17: three days after the Connecticut killings.
Authorities say 17-year-old Derek Shrout faces an attempted assault charge after authorities say he planned to use homemade explosives to attack fellow students at Russell County High School.
Taylor said the boy told investigators that he's a white supremacist and five of the six students he named in his journal are black.

a comprehensive resource on criminal informants: legal developments, legislation, news stories, cultural reactions, commentary and more....
« February 2011 | Main | April 2011 »
Neil Revill was convicted today of a double murder based largely on the testimony of jailhouse informant Benjamin Chloupek. Revill was accused of killing a fellow meth user Arthur Davodian, who ironically was himself a police informer who may have given information to the police about Revill. Chloupek testifed that Revill confessed the details of the murder to him while they were incarcerated. Chloupek, whose substantial criminal record includes convictions for manslaughter and child abuse involving the death of an 18-month-old, "admitted approaching detectives with his account in the hope of obtaining a lenient sentence on a burglary case he was facing."
The use of jailhouse informant witnesses in Los Angeles has become a rarity. After a scathing Grand Jury investigation in 1990 in which rampant abuses of informants were uncovered in the Los Angeles jail, the District Attorney's office clamped down, creating new corroboration restrictions, a central jailhouse informant index and committee, and requiring high-level approval before such witnesses could be used. The District Attorneys office states that it has approved the use of jailhouse informant witnesses only six times since 2006. Here's the Los Angeles Times story: Jailhouse informant plays a critical role in trial for a brutal double murder.

The San Francisco police department has announced that it is reviewing its use of criminal informants and will provide additional training to officers. The decision comes in the wake of allegations of misconduct against several officers. From the SF Examiner story:
Last Thursday, the day after allegations of illegal searches and seizures against six officers were made public and as gang tensions mounted in the Mission district, police station captains received a message on their department BlackBerrys to stop using confidential sources -- known on the street as snitches -- until further notice.
The directive came from the head of investigations, Cmdr. David Lazar, and was rescinded within an hour, according to interim police Chief Jeff Godown.
"It was an error," he said. Lazar also acknowledged the mistake, calling it a "premature blast out."
But before the order could be reversed, complaints rained down from captains. Capt. Greg Corrales was trying to stop retaliatory gang warfare in the Mission when the order came in. It would have made police work nearly impossible, Corrales said. The department announced that it will review its use of confidential informants this week and officers will receive additional training. . . . "Confidential informants are done on a daily basis and there are administrative issues," Godown said. "We started looking into this months ago."

There is increasing public and media interest in the government's use of terrorism informants, particularly with respect to issues of entrapment, and the impact on Muslim American communities. Professor Wadie Said at the University of South Carolina Law School has just published this article: The Terrorist Informant, 85 Washington Law Review 687 (2010), on this important subject. Here is the summary:
A man sets himself on fire in front of the White House in a dispute with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). He has been working as an informant for the FBI in a high-profile terrorism prosecution and is unhappy with the $100,000 he has been paid so far. He has also been recently convicted of bank fraud. As a result, the government declines to call him as a witness, given the damage his actions have on his credibility and trustworthiness. This incident underscores the difficulty inherent in relying on paid informants to drive a prosecution, where material considerations such as money and legal assistance are often the price the government pays for an informant's services. In the years since September 11, 2001, informants have been at the heart of many major terrorism prosecutions. The entrapment defense, perhaps the only legal tool available to defendants in such prosecutions, has proven ineffective. This is evident when one considers the context of generally heightened suspicion of the Arab and Muslim communities in the United States. Further, a closer look at several of these prosecutions reveals repeated instances of suggestive and provocative activity by informants geared at obtaining a conviction, calling into question whether a genuine threat to U.S. national security actually existed in the first place. This Article argues that the government should cease its current practice of using informants to generate terrorism prosecutions.

The term 'selective abstraction' is used in psychology to describe a flawed or prejudicial way of thinking. What occurs in this type of cognitive bias is that a person takes detail out of context and believes that while everything else in context is ignored. In lay terms it is what is 'cherry-picking'. In essence it is not reading the whole story but then basing an argument on the bits you have selected. It is about pointing out everything that is wrong in the way informants are managed and refusing to see the huge amount of good that is done through their use. It is about turning a blind eye to informants that have been mismanaged, pretending these were isolated incidents, then refusing to learn from them. It is a very human failing. We don't want to see what is wrong on our side. We don't want to or can't see another perspective because maybe if we do it means acknowledging we have not been doing things as well as we could have.
When it comes to managing informants everywhere, including the US, there are problems but there is also a significant amount of good work being done and this needs to be recognised. Citizens need to realise how valuable a resource that informants are both in regard to our safety and to the criminal justice system. If a terrorist is intent in bombing our cities then let us hope that somewhere a police officer has an informant stuck in the middle of that plot. If someone is dealing drugs outside the high school where our children attend, then let us hope that a police officer has heard about it from an informant. If one of our children has become mixed up in gang violence then let us hope that a police officer hears about that before we end up burying that child. Every law abiding citizen should be encouraging others to give information about crime to law enforcement.
And for the rest, in simple terms, this is what I would suggest. A national working group should be set up including representation from federal, state, municipal and tribal law enforcement with the mandate of identifying new national definitions for all aspects of informant management and to produce binding standards of behaviour for informant management. The guidance produced should set the standard for every law enforcement agency. If legislative change is required then it should be done ensuring adequate protection for all involved including informants. All officers involved in the regular use of informants, including supervisors, should undergo mandatory training to a level that meets the amount of risk involved. (And this is not an afternoon in the classroom!). Each agency should be made to keep comprehensive records of all activities informants relating to informants. Such records should be kept to evidentiary standards and on use software designed for the function. Such records modify undesirable behaviours and provide the accountability that the public want. Academics have a role to play to in researching and developing methodology that can assist law enforcement and the criminal justice process as a whole. Legislators must provide good legislation and if the public want greater accountability then they have to be prepared to pay for the changes necessary. All the changes I suggest can be done and relatively easily if the desire is there. The professionals in this key area need to avoid the select abstraction that comes from their own camp and look at these matters in a broader and more objective manner. There are in essence only two sides, those who want to destroy society and the rest. It is time the rest maybe tried a bit harder to see each other's perspective.
And that is about it for me. Thank you taking the time to read (hopefully all) I have written. You may disagree with some or all of it, however, in the words of the philosopher Samuel Johnson: 'I have found you an argument but I am not obliged to find you understanding.' Hopefully you are at least thinking it through. I believe that the management of informants is an essential part of law enforcement. It saves lives, prevents crime and brings many perpetrators to justice. But perhaps there is a better way to manage informants. As A A Milne wrote in The Complete Tales of Winnie the Pooh: 'Hear is Edward Bear coming downstairs, bump, bump bump, on the back of his head behind Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming downstairs, but sometimes he thinks that there really is another way, if only he could stop bumping for a minute to think of it.'

North Rim fire managers making plans to initiate the Walla Valley Prescribed Fire
Contact: Shannan Marcak, 928-638-7958
Grand Canyon, Ariz. – Grand Canyon fire managers are making plans to initiate the Walla Valley Prescribed Fire (Walla Valley Rx) within the next few weeks on the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park.
The Walla Valley Rx will be located in the Walla Valley and Point Sublime area, approximately ten miles west of the North Rim developed area. The fire will be bounded on the west side by the w6 road and the canyon rim, on the south and east sides by the canyon rim, and on the north and northeast sides by the w4 road.
The Walla Valley burn unit consists primarily of ponderosa pine. About three-quarters of the burn unit last burned in 2001. Approximately 5,300 acres will be burned.
In an effort to simulate natural fire events in the North Rim forests, the Walla Valley Rx will use a point source ignition technique intended to mimic a group of lightning ignitions. A total of six ignition points will be ignited by helicopter in groups of two. The ignition points will be allowed to burn in all directions in the same way naturally ignited fires would burn. The fire is expected to burn over a period of weeks, exposing it to a variety of weather and wind conditions. As a result, it is expected that the effects of the Walla Valley Rx will more closely resemble a natural fire than the effects seen on most conventional prescribed burns. Point source ignition will occur only after blacklining along the w6, w4 and Point Sublime roads has been completed, creating a boundary free of burnable vegetation to the northwest, north and northeast.
Prescribed fires play an important role in decreasing risks to life, resources, and property by reducing accumulations of forest fuels and maintaining the natural role of fire in a fire-adapted ecosystem. Like all prescribed fires, the plans for the Walla Valley Rx contain a set of parameters which define (among other things) the expected weather and fuel conditions under which the fire can be initiated. Prior to implementing the burn, fire managers will evaluate current conditions and will only ignite the fire if all of the prescribed conditions are within those parameters.
In order to assure fire fighter and visitor safety, Point Sublime and the w4 road south of its junction with the Swamp Point Road will be closed during the Walla Valley Rx. Swamp Point, Fire Point and the w1 road are expected to remain open.
It is expected that smoke from the Walla Valley Rx will be visible from most of the South Rim, as well as from Highway 67 and the entrance station on the North Rim. Low to moderate smoke impacts are possible on Highway 67 and in the North Rim developed area. Visitors should also expect smoke to settle into the canyon in the evenings and to rise out again once temperatures warm during the day. Coordination with the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality is ongoing.
For additional information on the Walla Valley Rx, please contact Grand Canyon Public Affairs Specialist Shannan Marcak at 928-638-7958, or visit the park's fire information page at www.nps.gov/grca/parkmgmt/fire_info.htm.
Did You Know?
Mental attitude, adequate water and food consumption are absolutely essential to the success of any Grand Canyon hike. The day hiker and the overnight backpacker must be prepared for the lack of water, extreme heat and cold, and the isolation characteristic of the Grand Canyon. More...

honored. The Thomas Branch Award for Excellence in Teaching Award, The United Methodist
Church Exemplary Teaching Award and The Samuel Nelson Gray Distinguished Professor
Award will be presented.
The fourth annual Marilyn J. Gibbs Dedicated Service Award will also be presented.
The award was created by a generous gift from former Dean of Admissions and Financial
Aid Steven Nape and his wife Diane. This award is given annually to a staff member
for outstanding service to and support of the mission of the college. The award
is named in honor of Marilyn J. Gibbs, whose 18 years of dedicated service to the
college as assistant professor of sociology and then registrar exemplified the highest
ideals embodied in the college's mission.
A reception outside of Blackwell Auditorium will follow Honors Convocation.

Witness Disputes Sideshow Sarah's Ford Ass-assination
In an exclusive interview with CityNews, Jordan Falkenstein said he was waiting to have his photo taken with Ford at the Canadian Jewish Political Affairs Committee (CJPAC) event, when Thomson budded in line to have her picture taken with the mayor. He said Thomson requested a second photo after she didn't like the first one.
Falkenstein said he was right beside them during the encounter and could overhear their conversation.
"She made a statement about his trip to Florida and he said jokingly, 'You should have come with us.' She laughed as if she enjoyed it," Falkenstein said.

long wait time. (430,273 is most recent total
by the US Renal Data System but is only through 2011 so
the actual number is closer to 500,000 now.)

Some of Rand Paul's finest hours -- while filibustering
Whether or not you agree with Rand Paul's libertarianism (or fall somewhere in between), the Senator from Kentucky yesterday launched a principled filibuster, temporarily blocking the advance of John Brennan as C.I.A. director.
It had to do with the Administration's reluctance to categorically renounce the use of drones to attack U.S. citizens on U.S. soil. (I keep saying drones are a multi-layered issue that will continue to pop up as a flashpoint in our politics.)
Because of my work, I didn't have an opportunity to watch Rand Paul, but I understand from some observers (not necessarily libertarian conservatives themselves) that the Senator's oratory was weighty and frankly, brilliant. A masterful discourse on civil liberties.
Wow! An old-fashioned filibuster with substance. Gotta love it!
Here's one account - from FORBES on line - that also examines the status of libertarianism in the United States...
Texas blogger Kathleen McKinley - whose blogs appear on The HOUSTON CHRONICLE website - captures some of the magic...
From the Left, praise for Rand Paul. For example, Peter Beinart in The DAILY BEAST...

The filibustering process has been abused too long in Congress. It is now used on almost every issue in which there is Republican dissent. The filibuster was never meant to be used this way. Much of it is grandstanding.
This is one area where I'd disagree with Rand Paul. If he feels there are concerns, he should simply allow an up-or-down vote to confirm the CIA director.
Allan Loudell
Thu, Mar 7, 2013 8:45am
Given your generally libertarian views - and opposition to further U.S. military interventionism - I find it interesting to read your "take" on this.
I would strongly differentiate between a filibuster of limited duration - with speeches of substance - and an endless filibuster where members of Congress are just reading ANYTHING to fill the time. Big difference!
(Although, admittedly, as the hours dragged on, some of Rand Paul's Senate colleagues got a little mischievous, and started quoting from literature to pop culture! And the filibuster - or blocking action - continues even today, although under the "new" form... Senators no longer have to drone on with speeches. Pun intended.)
Futhermore, this was as much about getting the Obama Administration to clarify its position on going after U.S. citizens on U.S. soil - and the use of drones to perhaps achieve that - as it was about Brennan per se.

Thu, Mar 7, 2013 9:10am
Uh-oh are the Tea Partiers getting some positive news?
2014 is going to be an interesting election cycle.
Thu, Mar 7, 2013 9:18am
I agree with Mr. Loudell...the main reason for this filibuster by Rand was for clarification on drone use on American soil on American citizens and to bring this issue to public discussion.
Eric Holder has waffled on this issue and given many answers to the question of drone use...and my understanding is that Brennan was the creator of the whole drone program. So, yes this is an important issue that needs to have light shown on it and clarification made known as to how United States citizens should be treated in a country with our Constitutional protections and rights.
Thu, Mar 7, 2013 12:49pm
I remember hearing of a conversation early on in the Obama Administration, I forget the source, but in it President Obama was expressing concern that his duties as protector of the people in these days of terrorism involving nuclear weapons were conflicting with his duties to uphold and protect the Constitution at all costs. As he became privy to the classified actions of former presidents, he found that often in highly desperate and classified situations, (use the old Fox series of 24 as a guide to where I'm going with this) protecting the rights of due process of one citizen could put entire cities of citizens in danger.
The common-sense thing would be to kill the citizen. But that is both un-American and un-Constitutional. The common-sense way out of this mess, then, is to classify blowing up a city as an Act of War and therefore use rules of war to justify the taking-out that citizen.
I think we are all good with that. However our laws haven't caught up to the reality of fighting war on our own turf. Lincoln recognized that war at home meant the curtailing of domestic Liberties. WWII recognized that indeed even here at home "loose lips could sink ships" and worked hard to psychologically keep domestic America constantly on wartime footing....
That is all Obama is doing. Drones exist. When can they, and when can't they, be used? That is what is being stated here. He is stating that as Commander-in-Chief, if and when it may becomes necessary to take-out an American citizen engaged in an undeclared act of war against the United States and its citizens, he will pull the trigger to save American lives. Whereas before that was shady, that is now the law of the land.....
Will there be errors? Do police still shoot-up wrong SUV's with guns and bullets? Yes, there will be some mistakes....
But consider this hypothetical alternative. "Known terror suspect, Iowanta Felsomteets, walks out of house with known detonator in briefcase, gets in car. Drone follows. Technology in drone certifies radiation-leakage being emitted from vehicle, confirming radioactive material of considerable strength. Near the approach to New York's Holland Tunnel, the subject pulls off the road, gets out of his car, pulls the tarp off a metal contraption in his trunk, opens the detonator briefcase and begins attaching it to the metal structure.... You are in command. What do you do, seeing this unfold in high definition right in front of you... The drone is armed....
You have two choices. One you say, "Take him out". Two, you say, "Can we get some police there to read him his rights?"
Our law needs to catch up to the reality we live in..... And hats need to go off to President Obama, who as a Constitutional lawyer, recognized as the icon of law that this nation is, it needs to have those situations where we are at war against possibly our own citizens, on our own turf, coded into our legal cannon, so all law enforcement can feel sufficiently safe, they will not be imprisoned for personally taking on the actions needed to save America....
What the other side - the Libertarians - need to recognize, is that this cat is long out of the bag, and that a check-and-balance must now be formulated to keep this technology from being misused, and constantly remaining under citizens' control....
Thu, Mar 7, 2013 1:16pm
Yes, I agree with Rand Paul that use of the drones is questionable and has led to the deaths of innocent people.
What I disagree with is the general use of filibustering to block issues from coming up for a vote. Filibustering is used too much, and almost every vote in the Senate now requires a two-thirds majority instead of a simple majority. I don't believe Mr. Paul was right in this case. He could simply let this come to the floor for a vote, and speak his mind prior to the vote.
Thu, Mar 7, 2013 2:15pm
Those of us who have studied past Congresses would disagree with Teatime's assessment of the filibuster. There are times when in arguments that stalling is important. For example, our Revolution may have gone a completely different way, if the vote for the declaration of independence had not been unanimous.... That was done because the first Congress was stalled long enough that Caesar Rodney could ride up, and vote for independence and force George Reed to change his "no" vote to "yes", making the statement unanimous.
There are times when legislation is "sprung" on the other side, in order to get passage when the party proposing that legislation knows full well, a particular opponent who could defeat that piece, is out of town. Virginia Republicans passed a gerrymandering bill cutting out a Democratic seat, on Inauguration Day, while Democrats were out, for that very reason.
The talking filibuster in this case would give 13 hours for that legislator to return, and give his take on that bill. Just knowing that a bill can be stalled until it can be defeated, puts a damper on the idea of trying to "sneak" a damaging bill through Congress....After all, what's the point when it will be defeated anyway. Filibusters can also be used to buy time for fact finding, which might make the argument in the bill, moot and an obvious mistake..... I think that was the reason for the famous "Mr. Smith Goes To Washington" talking filibuster.
The talking filibuster means one has to actually talk. Prior to that ruling, and all parties here have voiced that too many filibusters have taken place since the Democrats have won the Senate. Prior to this Congress's ruling, all a Republican had to do was lift a little finger at the clerk, and if there were not 60 members voting to override, the legislation was stopped dead in its tracks....
The bottom line is that with a filibuster, Congress is frozen. Even if a majority of 59 Senators support, and are in favor of a piece of legislation or a much needed appointment to the bench, one bought-out corrupt Senator, can hold up the entire legislation from ever happening....
And that is exactly what happened the past two Congresses. On every issue brought forward by Democrats, Republicans filibustered. Being a minority, they would have lost the vote, but the legislation proposed never goes forward, because their minority is enough to prevent the required 60 vote override...
It is better, we think, having seen the filibuster so misused, to move forward with a majority vote, and have progress whether good or bad, go forward... If the progress is wrong, voters can make amends in the next election. As it is, we don't have progress, we don't have voting recoreds, and voters don't have no ideas of what to use on which to base their votes, and therefore are beholden to the media to determine which candidate is the most "outrageous" throughout the political campaign.....

I'm always encouraged when I see a Republican with guts. Hard to come by these days. Long live Ronald Reagan!
Fri, Mar 8, 2013 1:19am
Lol... you must be VERY happy with Christie then.... a republican with guts...
Fri, Mar 8, 2013 7:00am
Kavips: I guess Christie is better than nothing. In these lean times, you have to take what you can get.
Fri, Mar 8, 2013 7:52am
Christie has something that is rare for a Republican. He appears to be more interested in his people, than in promoting Republicanism as "a brand"....
Republicans need more like him.
Fri, Mar 8, 2013 11:44am
Yes, we need more RINOs to "help" the Republicans...when given the choice between a RINO (moderate) like Castle, Christie, Romney or a Democrat opponent...the RINO almost always loses.
I can see why kavips likes "Republicans" like Chris Christie, and wants more like him.
If the Republicans want to survive politically they need to find and support more people like Rand Paul and Cruz...instead of supporting moderates like McCain, Romney, or Jeb Bush.
Sat, Mar 9, 2013 12:54am
If Chris Christie doesn't shed some of that pork pretty soon he may not live to run for president.
Sat, Mar 9, 2013 1:19pm
Earl Grey is arguing that the Republicans take the Malcolm X direction of the old Democratic Party. We wisely said... no thank you, though some of its supporters fought pretty hard for it..
The extremism of Cruz is an exact fit; maybe by 2060 a movie will be made for the minority of white people which will win an Academy Award with a movie about every Conservatives run for a broken cause....
Sat, Mar 9, 2013 11:24pm
Thank God I won't be around in 2060 to see it.
Sun, Mar 10, 2013 11:33pm
Teatime: I would submit to you that the drones in Washington, particularly the "president" and his henchmen on the left, are killing a lot more innocent people than those little rocket things are doing.
Mon, Mar 11, 2013 9:51am
Me thinks kavips is confused, it is the new Democratic Party (Socialist Democrats) that have embraced the Malcom X direction for the party and taken the party extreme left.
There are no more John F.Kennedys left in your party...JFK would recognize neither the current Democratic party nor the country he once led.
Mon, Mar 11, 2013 10:28am
Looks like the Rand Paul R3volution has begun!
Those who supported Rand Paul and his opposition to drones targeting American citizens in America are about to be attacked from both sides...the "old guard" Republicans and all Democrats who fear losing both power and privilege.
Mon, Mar 11, 2013 8:04pm
That's right, EarlGrey. Time to flush 'em out!

Tatsuya rode right up to us on possibly the coolest bike we've ever seen. It's apparently a Gravitron. Now we consider ourselves pretty strong googlers, but we were unable to find any info on this beauty. If you have some scope we'd love to hear. But back to Tatsuya. He's an interesting cat who has been break dancing since he was a wee lad. If we had some old cardboard to lay down, we would've asked for a demo.

While my 'day job' is driving ambulances around London picking up the injured, the ill, the mad and the drunk (not in that order), I do have thoughts on things not concerning ambulances. This blog is where I can get those semi-formed thoughts out into the air.
While I continue to write about ambulance work, this blog will remain almost completely ambulance free. Instead it's topics will be whatever catches my fickle fancy at that point in time. Posting will be as regular as inspiration determines, I'll never post something unless I want to post it.

Just saw Stephen in the Oscar Wilde film, which I thought was brilliant and extremely interesting. It rekindled my long-time passion for Wilde and I am currently revisiting all the works I can get my hands on). I think most people have long considered Stephen Fry the modern incarnation of Mr. Wilde. I doubt I would have watched a film in which anyone else was portraying him.

Although I do think that if he took to reading children's stories like on jackanory (which they don't have anymore?), it would be rather like Oliver Postgate and all the children would cry (How I loved Bagpuss when I was a sprog!).
Can I say that the waxwork of Oscar up there looks remarkably like Jonathan Woss? X-D
