In this 1994 adventure, the 5th, and unfortunately latest, in the Vicky Bliss series Dr. Vicky Bliss is approached to foil a planned robbery of Egyptian artifacts from the Cario museum. She is asked to pose as an expert on a Nile cruise, a cruise geared for amateur Egyptolists. Vicky protested her unsuitablity for this assignment until she realized that the suspected thief was none other than her sometime lover, the mysterious "Sir John Smythe".
Naturally Vicky does join the group, and does find her lover there - along with his mother and new bride. The adventure then takes off at a typical Peters breakneck pace, filled with bodies, false identities, lies, wild chases through the desert night, fantastic escapes and....well if you've read any of Peter's work you get the picture and if you haven't you should, just don't start with this one.
For fans of Peter's work there are many wonderful little treats in this one, John claims a name from his past as his own, hints at a long family connection to Egypt (could his real last name be Emerson?), Schmidt is developed as more than a cardboard comic character, a husband and wife Egyptologist team of the past century is mentioned and a 'writer of popular Egyptian mystery adventures' makes a cameo apprearance.
This is a particularly fun read, only marred by the fact that it is the last Vicky Bliss - so far - I refuse to give up hope!
In NIGHT TRAIN TO MEMPHIS, Vicky Bliss is asked by a police agency to be a part of a tour group as they cruise down the Nile River seeing the beautiful monuments and ancient pyramids of Egypt. The police suspect that some professional thieves will be on board and hope that Vicky can assist in identifying them. The characters are diverse and of course, Sir John Smythe also shows up for the tour. Vicky's dismayed to find him using a different name and traveling with a sweet young woman. Just a few months before the tour, John and Vicky had resumed their love affair and now she's thoroughly confused by the way that he's acting. There are a lot of surprises in this story.
I found it amazing to see that out of 32 reviews on this book, 30 reviewers gave this story a Five Star Rating. That has got to be some kind of a record. It shows what an excellent writer that Elizabeth Peters is and how she always delivers great fiction.
Peters has a great affection for quirky, unforgettable lead women. They are always strong characters and frequently outdo their male counterparts. Vicky Bliss is no exception. She is an attractive woman, an American who has the intelligence and knowledge to hold a position at the National Museum at Munich working with Professor Anton Schimdt. The latter is one of those characters that combine inestimable knowledge with an almost irritating roly-poly cuteness. Vicky is considerably less saccharine and lacks his compulsive fascination with American country music, the lyrics of which haunt this novel.
Vicki is asked by German intelligence to take part in a fabulous cruise of the Nile River, posing as a lecturer in Egyptian history. They have information is that something unpleasant was due to happen on that cruise, but, do to the death of their agent, they have no idea what. Vicky's job was to help keep whatever it is from happening. When they refuse to accept her lack of knowledge of ancient Egypt as an excuse, Vicki gives in. A chance to escape Schmidt for a bit if nothing else.
To her chagrin, she finds that one of the passengers on the cruise is her lover, noted jewel thief John Smythe.Read more ›

Jobs Available, No One Qualified
There's a mismatch going on in the national workforce. A new survey says, a record 52% of US employers are having a hard time filling critical positions despite 14 million unemployed. In the coastal area, Cindy Landolt of Coastal Workforce Services says, employers are telling her, they're getting applicants that don't have key skills.

Petition Tag - conservation
1. Save the College Ave. Ficus Tree
This beautiful, huge, healthy ficus tree on College Ave. just north of Whittier Blvd. is in danger. The city has posted it for removal. Apparently it is troublesome for a developer who wants to put a sandwich shop nearby. Never mind that the graceful giant could shade a lovely outdoor dining area, or that the massive tree could differentiate and identify their shop.
The short-sighted choice was to call for a chainsaw crew. But thanks to our citizen-driven tree ordinance, we can appeal this removal, and we are. If you value our urban forest and this magnificent specimen, please join us and sign our petition!
2. Save Burns Bog. Fight MK Delta's Industrial plans in Burns Bog.
In 2004, Burns Bog owners the McLaughlins were under foreclosure. The McLaughlin family asked Jack Matthews to rescue the Bog from foreclosure. He did. (J.M. Pers. Comment, 2004.)
Four levels of government came together to purchase Burns Bog for conservation. They offered Jack Matthews $78 million for the 5,500 acres of Burns Bog. Unfortunately, Jack Matthews left $5 million on the table.
Matthews sold 5,000 acres of Burns Bog to the four levels of government. He kept 525 acres of ecologically significant land.
In 2005, the Kerbel family (Ontario) and Jack Matthews (originally from Ontario, now Dallas, Texas) created MK Delta Lands Group Inc.
Present day.
MK Delta Lands Groups is applying to the Corporation of Delta for an Official Community Plan Amendment and Rezoning application at 7969 Highway 91 Connector. They want to build an industrial park on 155 acres of land located on the edge of Burns Bog (Lot 4).
The following are parts of their application:
• Proposed Agricultural Land Reserve Exclusion
• Official Community Plan Amendment
• Rezoning
• Regional Growth Strategy Amendment
• Sanitary Sewer Area Extension
• Development Permit
• Subdivision Application at 7696 Highway 91 Connector
In exchange for this development, they are offering Delta 328 acres of land in Burns Bog and financial contributions.
Why should you be concerned?
Here are what others said about MK Delta Lands Group's proposal in 2012 (we successfully stopped this project):
"There is a limited amount of "green space" in the Lower Mainland that is causing detrimental effects to not only human health but to our natural environment. It would be regrettable to see anything happen to Burns Bog, especially because of how sensitive the ecosystem is."
- Olivia Woodburn
"As someone who has lived nearby for over twenty years I am appalled to learn that MK Delta Lands Group is proposing to potentially destroy one of the greatest natural environments on the west coast of British Columbia."
- Asha Young
"No amount of mitigation and no amount of money can offset the impacts to the site and the local and global ecosystem if the proposed development is allowed…They CAN'T re-create this bog. Please DO NOT ALLOW this development."
- Diane Ryba
Please sign the petition. Your support makes a huge difference. Your gifts help us continue to fight for Burns Bog. Click here to give now.
3. Ban Commercial and/or Residential Development on Wilson Drive
At that time, it is possible that the west side of the street will be re-zoned to allow commercial and/or residential development.
4. Ban the Use of Styrofoam in Jamaica
In addition to being unsightly it is an extremely dangerous threat to human health and the wider environment, Toxic chemicals stick to the surface of foam particles and once they become micro litter Birds, fish, and other wildlife may ingest the foam particles, causing the polystyrene and other toxins to enter the food chain. Once in the food chain, these chemicals may impact human health. In 2011 styrene was classified as carcinogen by the National Toxicology Program (NTP), a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. People unwittingly put EPS containers in microwaves, in wood stoves and on top of campfires which may result in the product leaching into food and drink.
The containers also serve as breeding sites for vectors such as mosquitoes.
The improper disposal of single use items pose an economic issue also as millions of state funds are spent on clean up and disposal activities. Costs that can be reduced by investing in the use of recyclable and compostable alternatives,
We consider this ban to be a necessary step towards encouraging sustainable waste management practices. Specifically, reducing the use of one use consumables items. This petition seeks to amass support for the comprehensive reduction in our nations solid waste production and carbon footprint.
"We will not take him back to the park," Reynold Thakhuli for SANParks told Traveller24. "Unfortunately, this lion has now been identified as a damage-causing animal and will be euthanised".
"Thus far, we have received reports that he has killed a cow," Thakhuli says.
Last year, when Sylvester went AWOL for more than three weeks, he killed 26 sheep along with other game belonging to private owners.
6. Allow Centerfire Rifles for Michigan Night Time Predator Hunting
The current Michigan regulations of restrictive calibers and cartridge/shot shell types fall short of providing effective means to manage some predator species. And here's why:
• The Plains (Western) coyote in Michigan typically weighs upward to 40 lbs. for adults;
• Shots taken with currently allowed night time firearms present great difficulties in maintaining humane, one shot kills beyond 100 yards without the risk of run offs which require tracking;
• .17 and .22 cal. rim fires cannot be reloaded to take advantage of optimum accuracy;
• The effective range of shotguns with allowed available commercial loads do not provide combined adequate knock down power and shot pellet grouping for ethical kills beyond 60 yards .
By allowing centerfire rifles with a maximum diameter of .224" and a maximum case length of 2.0" with the aid of a game or predator call will:
• Allow at least (24) twenty-four .17 caliber through .22 caliber reloadable centerfire rounds with adequate power for quick, one shot kills that classify the majority of day time predator hunter's currently owned guns.
• Be consistent with laws currently in place in two nearby states, Ohio and Indiana, which general information and FOIA requests filed have determined that no recorded personal injury or property damage reports were made resulting from allowing centerfire rifles at night for predator hunting;
• Allow law enforcement to continue to effectively enforce deer poaching laws by requiring firearms to continue to be loaded only at the calling site.
7. Moratoire Vert / Green Moratorium
Nous réclamons à l'Agglomération de Montréal, aux municipalités sur l'île de Montréal et au gouvernement du Québec un Moratoire Vert. Ce moratoire gèlerait tout développement résidentiel dans les espaces verts au cours des dix prochaines années, le temps nécessaire pour assurer une protection efficace des milieux naturels.
We demand from the Montreal Agglomeration, from all municipalities on the island of Montreal and from the government of Québec a Green Moratorium. Such a moratorium requires a halt to all development on and in green spaces on the island of Montreal for the next ten years, the time needed to assure proper protection of natural spaces.
8. Protect Gull Lake MB from Gravel pit development
- This area is approx 40feet below the surface of Gull lake.
- Gull Lake water is retained by a sensitive clay bottom. The lake purges out through the underlying sentiment though this NW corner as per Hay report completed in the 1990's.
Gull Lake report http://mspace.lib.umanitoba.ca/handle/1993/22939
- Digging in this particular area could potentially be very hazardous to the Gull Lake purge rate if not potentially drain the lake completely.
- Gull Lake current purge rate is 6 years. This means that after a period 6 years every drop of water in Gull Lake is brand new (including evaporation). If this clay bottom is disrupted, think how quickly this rate could be affected?
9. Encourage more Prairie Restorations; Thank Arlington, TX Leaders for Past Projects
* Citizens want more of this type of landscaping through the city and DFW metroplex to create a sustainable living environment that supports humans' desire for aesthetically pleasing landscapes while also providing habitat for wildlife, especially pollinators, to preserve the local biodiversity that benefits us all.
* I am sending a letter of positive reinforcement to City of Arlington, TX leaders thanking them for their past efforts, in particular, praising the ~2 acre prairie restoration in the 800 block of N. Cooper Street, encouraging them to put this type of native prairie habitat restoration into more frequent practice in urban areas with hope for future installations in additional road right of way areas, neighborhood parks, municipal golf courses, and around other city facilities.
* By signing this petition, you endorse this support to city leaders to encourage expansion of these efforts. See the actual letter to be sent to Arlington, TX leaders below.
* You do not have to be an Arlington, TX resident to sign. We want signatures from people throughout the Fort Worth and Dallas metroplex area.
10. Save our Heritage landscape from developement
The site is located directly adjacent to a historical house built in the late 19th century and by continuing their plan of action, we will see a huge decrease in cultural significance of the property. In the past we have also seen destabilization to surrounding grounds of these man-made lakes and we fear that it could lead to the demise of this house. As it is one of the only buildings of its age located in the area, it would be a terrible shame to see it knocked down due to the instability of the land.
We try our hardest to look after this site and have many open days where the whole Penrith community are welcome. To date we have had around 15 hundred visitors this year. The plans were approved before any communication so no knowledge of this was available until after the approval.
They have shown no intentions of changing their plans yet so we ask all people to help us by signing the following petition in order to fight the conservation rights of historical areas in local communities. If we do not show them that we care about our history, all that will remain are stories.
11. Protect the wombats of Bendeela Picnic and Camping Grounds
Extensive poisoning of weeds and the use of a large mulcher has left many burrows covered in mulch and earth. No effort was made to establish which burrows were active or to prevent wombats from being trapped inside.
46 burrows have been identified as effected. There is no way of knowing how many wombats escaped or were trapped.
No request was made for a wildlife carer to be present to assist and minimize damage to the wombat population.
*It is illegal to interfer an inhabited wombat burrow in NSW. Even if you have located an apparently vacant burrow, you must not fill it in without confirming that it is Inactive.
These wombats are a popular tourist attraction and already under tremendous pressure from sarcoptic mange (a burrowing mite that can lead to death) stress during peak seasons when the camp is filled with people, deliberate and accidental injury and weather events like floods or heat waves. They need our protection and respect and it is the duty of camp management to afford them that right.
*Wombats are classified as protected fauna under the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974. It is an offence to harm a wombat unless a licence is obtained from OEH.
This is a building of great historic (art deco) significance and historic merit in Port Elizabeth, and should be preserved by the Municipality as such. At the very least it should be redeveloped by sensitive purchasers only as a conserved landmark of great social, architectural and historic importance to the city of Port Elizabeth.
13. Transition to Renewable Energy by 2030
The US Department of Energy should conduct a feasibility study and implement such a plan in the US, with all deliberate speed to save the country and the planet from global warming and further environmental destruction from the impact of fossil fuel and nuclear power.
14. Legalise hunting of feral pests within Victorian State Game Reserves
Hunters of game species are keenly aware of the impact of introduced pests such as the European Red Fox, Feral Cat and European Rabbit on native ecosystems. The vast majority also hunt species designated as feral on private and Crown land, in addition to game species in season.
Organisations such as Field and Game Australia undertake significant efforts to preserve and restore wetlands and funds from the purchase of Victorian Game Licences is used to finance activities such as research, construction of nest boxes, revegetation and waterfowl surveys. The removal of introduced pests that threaten both target and non-target native and game secies should be a logical and holistic part of these conservation efforts.
Several State Game Reserves (eg. Lake Goldsmith) are wetlands that dry up before duck season commences on years of decreased rainfall. The ducks leave. Hunters have currently little incentive to visit these places in the absence of legal game, and feral species that move in threaten the establishment of waterfowl when the water returns.
As firearms use is already permitted within these reserves, allowing hunters to also take pest species does not pose an additional risk to public safety.
Lastly, most State Game Reserves are bordered by private agricultural land upon which their landowners perform their own pest control. As long as feral species can find sanctuary within the Reserves, they will always be able to recolonise adjacent private land and render these efforts futile.
15. No mining the Karawari caves
Some of the people we work with are amongst the last nomadic hunter gatherers in PNG, and the continue to live in these caves with stencils and images that date back, we believe, 20,000 years. As yet we haven't had the expertise to confirm their age, but they are very similar to caves found in Borneo and Western Australia which have been dated to that era. Our efforts are fully endorsed by the National Museum and Art Gallery in Port Moresby, and we have written numerous articles on their importance. The National Geographic Society, which assists us with small grants, published a story about the Meakambut people in the Februaru 2012 magazine.
A company called Pristine No 18, which is partly owned by Rimbunam Hijau, has now applied for an ELA 2008 covering the majority of these historic caves and the rainforest where the Meakambut still live and thrive. But the Meakambut and the entire Penale tribe are adamantly against the exploration. They know that once Pristine #18 has invested in exploration, they will find it impossible to evict them from their lands and forests. And they know what is at stake: Our company, Nancy Sullivan & Assoc, has spent the past 7 years paying all the school fees (and now project fees), establishing a primary school, and bringing health services (in regular patrols by a pediatric surgeon from Wewak) to the area. This is our quid pro quo for allowing us to study their caves and ultimately produce a book about them. Thus far we have received Guggenheim, Rockefeller and Christensen Fund grants, as well as National Geographic support. Our interest in the region is sincere and longstanding; we have a project that should continue for decades yet and provide these communities with the income from scientists and community development for their future.
For more information about the company and what we do, please see www.nancysullivan.net and for images of the work we do in the caves, please see the following: www.nancysullivan.typepad.com/weblong_2014/04/the-meakambut-penale-ewa-alamblak-and-sumariop-get-a-check-up.html
For details about the Pristine # 18 meeting in the village recently, see our blog:
We have had the support of Ludwig Schulz, the late Angoram MP, and a wide swatch of his constituency who have benefitted from our work.
For the MRA representative who attended the meeting, we understand that Pristine #18 has 2 weeks to assemble an exploration application for the Ministry's approval. We seek to circumvent this right away, in the interest of all the Penale as well as the Ewa and Sumariop people whose precious caves and histories will be disturbed by this venture.
Please support us in a campagn to keep RH and commercial mining out of these forests and away from the NATIONAL CULTURAL PROPERTY within them. The Ewa people of the upper Karawari have suffered at the hands of art dealers who emptied their caves of carvings before independence and left them with next to nothing as compensation---while their father's carvings continue to fetch 6 figure prices on the Oceanic art market and can be seen in museums across the US and Europe. They too would be victims of this short term greed if the exploration went forward.

16. No to redevelopment plans for Faircharm Trading Estate
Crossfields residents and other stakeholders on Creekside will lose views and sunlight once the development is built, whilst three years of construction will bring dust and pollution and turn Creekside into a dangerous road for all users and residents.
Only 28 parking spaces are provided – Crossfields already provides free parking for Faircharm, Lewisham College, APT, Laban, Cockpit, Tidemill, high street and Wavelengths users. Workspace also describe Crossfields's private roads (the upkeep of which tenants pay for) as a public pathway to transport links and Deptford High Street.
Many of the existing creative businesses will not be rehoused in the new employment spaces because of their light industrial activities, even though this is a designated business area, with few other such spaces available in the borough. The business space will be reduced by half and house only residential-friendly office-based businesses. Other tenants will not be able to afford to stay.
The ecology of the Creek is threatened by the increase in illumination from electric light, whilst Crossfields residents on Creekside and APT artists will lose sunlight.
Workspace threaten to close the site down if they do not get their way.
NB: Please use a relevant address if you work or live on Creekside.
17. Save Danau Toba
Saat ini Danau Toba mengalami berbagai kemerosotan, baik disebabkan olah faktor alamiah maupun akibat aktifitas yang kurang mengindahkan prinsip pelestarian ekosistem, sehingga pada saat ini terjadi degradasi daya dukung perairan maupun daratan di sekitar kawasan Danau Toba. Hal ini dapat kita lihat antara lain : lahan kritis yang sudah semakin luas; Keramba yang sangat mengganggu dan limbah domestik yang sudah tidak terkendali mencemari air Danau Toba, serta pertumbuhan eceng gondok dan gulma lainnya yang merusak estetika danau.
Berbagai masalah tersebut telah terjadi terhadap kelestarian kawasan Danau Toba, yang semakin hari mengalami penurunan kualitas yakni : kondisi fisik, kualitas air. Kondisi fisik mengalami berbagai permasalahan seperti : perambahan hutan yang tidak terkendali, pola pertanian yang tidak ramah lingkungan. Masyarakat secara sembarangan melakukan galian-galian (Galian – C) untuk mendapat keuntungan sesaat, kurang memikirkan dampak yang ditimbulkan.
Kualitas air Danau Toba yang semula jernih dan bening, kini terganggu akibat pembuangan limbah dari berbagai sumber rumah tangga, limbah pertanian, limbah keramba, termasuk pencemaran dari transportasi air kapal di Danau Toba. Dampak pencemaran ini juga telah menimbulkan permasalahan yang lebih besar dengan munculnya gulma eceng gondok sehingga mengakibatkan rusaknya keindahan alam perairan Danau Toba. Munculnya keramba diberbagai tempat secara umum telah mengakibatkan penurunan nilai estetika perairan kawasan Danau Toba dan penurunan kualitas air perairan Danau Toba.
Perusahaan keramba di Danau Toba khususnya di kawasan perairan Danau Toba, nyata sudah merugikan perekonomian, baik terhadap penerimaan usaha-usaha kepariwisataan maupun perekonomian masyarakat. Sebaliknya apabila kondisi itu dapat dipulihkan maka diharapkan dapat meningkatkan kunjungan wisatawan ke kawasan Danau Toba, yang dampaknya tentu akan berpengaruh terhadap perekonomian setempat.
18. Stop the British Columbia Wolf Hunt!
So-called "conservationists" are killing wolves, even machine-gunning entire packs from helicopters, based on the claim that they are reducing caribou herds; however, loss of habitat is a far more probable cause. Natural ecosystems are self regulating and wolves play a vital role in them.
There is also an increase in the slaughter of wolves to protect livestock on private and public land with insufficient attention to alternative measures such as improved farming practices and animal husbandry.
Wolves are killed for sport and their body parts used as trophies; this is an abhorrent activity and wasteful use of wildlife.
Wolves deserve wilderness habitat in which to live a natural pack life, unmolested.
Humans are the greatest threat to healthy wolf populations, and it's our responsibility to be a voice for these wild animals and the wilderness in which they live.
19. Former infants' school in Club Row
The owner of the Grade-II-listed building in the Boundary Estate CA has applied to Tower Hamlets Council for major alterations, which include the unnecessary demolition of several walls and the replacement of the unique roof over the entire roof playground.
20. Protect hawksbills in El Salvador / Protejan a las tortugas carey en El Salvador
Hawksbill sea turtles are critically endangered globally and the population of hawksbills in the eastern Pacific Ocean is considered one of the most endangered sea turtle populations in the world. Less than 500 nesting hawksbills remain in the entire eastern Pacific, with nearly 50% of these individuals nesting in Jiquilisco Bay in El Salvador. Additionally, Jiquilisco Bay provides essential foraging habitat for juvenile, sub-adult, and adult hawksbills.
Despite important steps taken by the Government of El Salvador to protect the species within its borders, such as the creation of national laws, the signing of international conventions, and the recognition of Jiquilisco Bay as an UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and Ramsar site, hawksbills in Jiquilisco Bay continue to be killed at an alarming rate by illegal and irresponsible artisanal fishing practices, particularly blast fishing and long-lines; from 2004 to 2012 at least 39 hawksbills were killed, of which 27 were victims of blast fishing. Blast fishing is not only damaging to hawksbills, but is also having devastating effects on the fragile mangrove estuary systems that support local subsistence fishing, as well as to the fishermen themselves.
Further threatening the survival of the hawksbills in Jiquilisco Bay is the rapid, uncontrolled development of critical nesting beaches which currently lack national legislation that declare their protection. The international scientific community has determined that hawksbills will be driven to extinction in the eastern Pacific in the short-term if fishing practices causing hawksbill deaths are not eliminated and if nesting beaches are not protected in Jiquilisco Bay immediately.
La tortuga carey esta en peligro crítico de extinción a nivel mundial y la población de las tortugas carey en el Pacífico de las Américas es considerada una de las poblaciones de tortugas marinas mas amenazadas en el mundo. Quedan menos de 500 hembras anidantes en todo el Pacífico de las Américas, con casi un 50% de estos individuos anidando en la Bahía de Jiquilisco en El Salvador. Además, la Bahía de Jiquilisco brinda áreas de alimentación fundamental para las tortugas carey juveniles, sub-adultas y adultas.
A pesar de los avances importantes logrados por el Gobierno de El Salvador para proteger a la especie en el país, tal como la creación de leyes nacionales, la adhesión a convenios internacionales y el nombramiento de la Bahía de Jiquilisco como UNESCO Reserva de la Biosfera y sitio Ramsar, las tortugas carey en la Bahía de Jiquilisco siguen muriendo a niveles muy alarmantes por las practicas de pesca artesanal ilegales e irresponsables, particularmente por la pesca con explosivos y la cimbra; del 2004 al 2012 al menos 39 tortugas carey murieron, de las cuales 27 fueron victimas de la pesca con explosivos. La pesca con explosivos no solamente esta impactando negativamente a las tortugas carey, sino que también esta teniendo efectos devastadores en los sistemas frágiles de manglares que sostienen la pesca local de subsistencia, así como a los pescadores mismos.
Además, la sobrevivencia de las tortugas carey en la Bahía de Jiquilisco se encuentra altamente amenazada por el desarrollo rápido e incontrolado de sus playas críticas de anidación que actualmente carecen de una legislación nacional que declare su protección. La comunidad científica internacional ha determinado que las tortugas carey se extinguirán a corto plazo en todo el Pacífico de las Américas si no se eliminan las prácticas de pesca que están matando a las tortugas carey y si no se protegen las playas de anidación en la Bahía de Jiquilisco inmediatamente.
21. Dare to Be Deep
These are amazing places that nurture fish stocks and shelter endangered species like Right and Blue whales, tufted puffins and leatherback turtles. This petition is to get 12 marine protected areas (MPAs) by the end of 2012!
Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS) is a non-profit, grassroots-based conservation organization and Canada's voice for wilderness since 1963.
Our vision is to protect at least 50% of Canada's wilderness and oceans. Our British Columbia chapter is one of 13 across Canada.
22. Support the BC Grizzly Hunt
Several lobby groups have attempted to pressure and persuade the BC government (among others) to end sport hunting. Sport hunting is a very useful and important tool in wildlife management and no group is more passionate about wildlife and proper management than outdoorsmen and the hunting community. These lobby groups have targetted the BC Grizzly bear hunt in an attempt to eventually end all sport hunting.
Game management is important to all groups of outdoor recreationalists, tourits, outdoorsmen, and the future generations in Canada, North America, and the world. The endless projects and financial support for wildlife management by outdoorsmen have led the way to create stable and supporting management practices.
Human impact will continue to provide challenges to managing wildlife properly. This petition is created to show the numbers of people who truly support proper wildlife management and who feel that the BC grizzly hunt should not be cancelled due to pressure from Lobby groups whose interests do not lie in proper or sustainable wildlife management.
23. Preserve Owl Riparian in Muroya Canyon, Aviara, Carlsbad, California
For years nearby residents have witnessed many species of owls in the canyon as well as Cooper Hawks and other animals that have not been mentioned in the environmental report conducted by Dudek for Taylor Morrison.
We feel that the report is incomplete and inadequate.
We are asking the City of Carlsbad, Taylor Morrison and Dudek to further investigate the impacts on wildlife before disturbing the date palm grove.
24. Reject plans for the proposed housing and industrial developments in Burscough as identified within the Local Plan
In addition to the initial 1000 houses, a further 350 will be built around Burscough and 250 South of Burscough on Green Belt at Grove Farm, closing the gap between the village and the town of Ormskirk. There is also provision to build a further 60 houses on Green Belt off Red Cat Lane. All in addition to approved ongoing developments.
The developments avoids putting affordable housing where it is needed. The need for affordable housing is four times as great in Ormskirk and Aughton as it is in Burscough. Yet the plan proposes to build considerably more houses in Burscough than in Ormskirk.
Apart from all the valid reasons that locals have for objecting to these developments listed in the petition, looking at the evidence WLBC has produced the sites have not been identified by a fair process, the process is inconsistent in its methodology, ignores major constraints, removes more suitable sites without evidence and prioritises Green Belt over Brown Field sites.
25. Don't Dump on Deptford's Heart
We are petitioning against this because the site is valuable green space in the heart of a densely populated urban area. It is in a residential area in close proximity to two schools, a leisure centre and the High Street. Works here will have a big impact on our community. The site is also next to a grade 1 listed church and a listed railway viaduct.
We do not dispute the importance of Thames Tunnel works but we do believe there are other, more appropriate, sites available which would not so negatively affect community, buildings of historical importance and biodiversity.
26. Sign here to put a STOP to animal cruelty
These creatures have the intelligence and sensitivity to think and feel and understand what is happening to them, to grieve for their homes and loved ones, to feel fear, hopelessness, confusion and despair. Please help them.
DeforestACTION, via Taking It Global, are aiming to rescue these animals and provide a safe home for them, restoring areas of barren and degraded land and working with the Indonesian Government to preserve what is left of their forest. They will involve the local people in preserving and protecting these animals and their natural habitat.
Please add your name and email address to the Taking It Global database to show your support for these animals. By adding your name you are agreeing to Taking It Global's terms of use. We can then also update you on the progress that the deforestACTION team is making in securing new homes for those fortunate enough to be rescued from their dreadful conditions. As individuals they are suffering appallingly, but as a species they are gravely close to extinction. When the forests are restored, many of these animals will be rehabilitated and released back into the wilds of Borneo where they belong.
Therefore, by helping us to provide these individuals with a life worth living, you are also helping to provide a future for their species. These animals are on the verge of extinction, and they are suffering unforgiveably at the hands of humans. They need those of us who are strong enough to acknowledge their plights to speak out on their behalf.
27. Save the Miller Beck County Wildlife Site
Of the 11 different habitats found, the Tall-herb fens, Rush pasture and Habitat mosaics are BAP priority habitats meaning that they have been identified as a priority for conservation. County Wildlife Sites are not protected by law. Their survival depends on owners and managers being sympathetic to the needs of wildlife.
The Cumbria Local Sites Partnership is responsible for monitoring and protecting the Millerbeck County Wildlife Site. The partnership membership includes Cumbria Wildlife Trust, Cumbria County Council, Lake District National Park Authorities, District Councils, Natural England, Forestry Commission, Environment Agency, and The National Trust.
The National Trust recently sold 11 hectares of the Miller Beck County Wildlife Site, and by selling at auction to the highest bidder, there was no protection on this land.
The new owner has already canalised much of the beck, which is a spawning ground for salmon and crayfish, and has also dug new field drains and spread lime which is in direct contravention of the Wildlife Trust's management recommendations.
28. Stop the illegal trade in Turtles and their eggs
In many parts of the world, these animals are harvested for their meat and eggs which are used for human consumption and in some places are considered a delicacy. In many countries, the trade in turtle eggs is a big industry that provides income to many people. In other parts of the world, including some island nations, sea turtles are used for ceremonial purposes. Their shells and skins are also used to make a variety of objects like jewelry, sunglasses, tourist trinkets, instruments, and wall hangings. The hawksbill is particularly valued for its shell which is used for ornamental purposes.
Lack of enforcement and public awareness are particularly problematic when it comes to illegal trade. As trade occurs across borders between countries, monitoring illegal trade is sometimes impossible. Often illegal activities occur in remote areas and poachers are unable to be found and prosecuted or local officials are not motivated to enforce the laws. Educating local communities on the economic benefit of a live versus a dead sea turtle is essential to eliminating illegal trade. Many conservation programs are underway worldwide implementing projects which bring more money to local communities in tourism dollars than they would receive from harvesting the animals.
Did You Know?
* All 7 species of sea turtles are at risk of poaching or illegal trade for their meat, eggs, or shell.
* CITES, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species is an international agreement between countries that aims to protect species from extinction as a result of trade. This agreement however is voluntary and not all countries around the world are members. CITES currently provides protection for more than 30,000 species of animals and plants worldwide.
* Some cultures believe sea turtle eggs are aphrodisiacs. There is however, no scientific basis to this belief. In other cultures it is believed that eating them leads to a long life.
29. Hexthorpe River Corridor Restoration
The riverside path is a valuable feature of the park; it connects the two local towns of Hexthorpe and Sprotborough and also forms part of the Trans Pennine Trail. A wide range of wildlife has been seen at this site including otters, foxes, grass snakes, & potentially water voles (UK protected species).
However, the area has not been well looked after in the past and has become a 'no-go' area in the main with a reduced value for wildlife due to it being dwarfed by non-native Himalayan Balsam. Visitors also feel enclosed and unsafe when walking the pathway due to the density of Balsam. The local community wish to change this.
Volunteer groups will pull by hand 1000m2 of Himalayan Balsam before composting on-site as habitat piles. Although labour intensive it is the best way of preventing its spread. This will then allow the river bank to naturally recolonise with native flora and fauna and the rotting Balsam will create new habitat for invertebrates elsewhere. It will also mean people can better access the site and feel safer whilst doing so.
Funding is needed for this project to happen. It is supported by Friends of Hexthorpe Park, Living Streets, Hexthorpe Primary School and many other local people and organisations.
This atmospheric metal trades building, a grade II* listed building, currently houses a thriving collection of profitable and innovative local businesses. It is a place where the boundaries between art, industry, and technology break down, allowing Sheffield's manufacturing past to inspire its creative future. Local artists rub shoulders with tool makers, heritage craftspeople ply their trade next to businesses researching and developing new patents, and the sound of local bands rehearsing mingles with the rasp of grinding wheels.
The proposal to convert Portland works into flats threatens a whole traditional way of life. Conserving this place means more than preserving its beautiful grade II* listed architectural fabric, which witnessed the manufacture of the first stainless steel cutlery. It means defending jobs, safeguarding traditional specialist skills so that they can be passed on to new generations, and preserving continuity with Sheffield's proud tradition of expert 'little mesters' who work in an enterprising, sustainable, and fundamentally local way.
There is a viable and exciting alternative to flats on this site, an option that seeks to conserve both the building's fabric and its use. The Portland Works campaign, staffed by volunteers, aims to purchase the works building with funds raised through a community share issue. Our aim is to repair its fabric and to develop it as both a business cluster and a community space.
However, for this to be possible, Sheffield City Council must reject the current planning application to convert the building into flats. This petition urges them to do so, in the name of Sheffield's historic past, its characterful present, and its sustainable future.

Profoto B1 TTL Metering with Canon EOS-1D X
The TTL metering is made possible with Profoto's patent-pending AirTTL system. Already at launch Profoto promised to continuously update the AirTTL system. One of the most frequently requested features is TTL metering with Canon's flagship model: the Canon EOS-1D X. Today, this feature is made available free of charge through an easily installed firmware upgrade.
But note that it is not the B1 off-camera flash itself that needs to be upgraded; it is the small radio transmitter that is mounted on the Canon camera's hot shoe: the Air Remote TTL-C.
The process is very simple: 1) Go to www.profoto.com/support. 2) Sign in with an existing My Profoto account or create a new one. 3) Register your B1 and your Air Remote TTL-C. 4) Download the upgrade. 5) Open the software and follow the simple instructions. That is it. You can do all of this without having to contact a service station.
"Enabling photographers to do the upgrades themselves is a great step in our quest for providing Profoto users with the best in class customer support," says Göran Marén, Product Manager at Profoto. "This is something we will strive to provide for all new products."
This is the first of many planned upgrades for the B1 off-camera flash and the AirTTL system. Profoto is currently working on a firmware upgrade for high-speed sync (HSS). Profoto is also busy developing the new Air Remote TTL-N that will enable TTL metering with Nikon cameras. Both the HSS upgrade and the Air Remote TTL-N are expected to be released in 2014.

SEATTLE -- The Seattle Mariners and utility player Willie Bloomquist agreed Tuesday to a two-year contract worth $1,525,000.
The deal is pending a physical. Pitcher Gil Meche is the only Seattle player remaining in arbitration.
Seattle used Bloomquist's versatility last season, when the 28-year-old played at first (one game), second (32 games), third (six games), shortstop (24 games) and the outfield (15 games).
Bloomquist had career-highs in at-bats (249), batting average (.257), doubles (15), RBI (22) and stolen bases (14) last season. He is hitting .261 in 267 career games.
"He helps us in a variety of roles, including the ability to steal a base and play almost any position on the field," general manager Bill Bavasi said.
Bloomquist tied a team record with three doubles July 6 against Kansas City, but his season ended early after he was placed on the disabled list Aug. 30 with a strained left hamstring.
He gets a $50,000 signing bonus, $625,000 this year and $850,000 in 2007. He can earn $150,000 om performance bonuses this year based on plate appearances and $250,000 in 2007. In addition, his 2007 salary can escalate by up to $250,000.
Meche asked for a raise from $2,535,000 to $4.2 million and was offered $3.35 million.

About the book:
What are the implications of current economic, social and political trends in Britain for older people? Social and demographic changes have led to traditional areas of welfare being transformed. The contributors to this book take a critical look at the current situation and assess the implications for future practice. They debate the assumptions and values underlying established welfare programmes and consider the case for change as growing demands put health and social services under increasing pressure. The second part of the book discusses specific areas in detail, ranging from the organisation of effective domiciliary social care to the impact of new technologies on older people's lives. This book provides a comprehensive and practical overview of the provision of services for older people and will be a valuable and thought-provoking resource for anyone involved in caring for and supporting them.

The Anne & William Axton Reading Series
The Anne and William Axton Reading Series was established in 1999 through the generosity of the late William Axton, former University of Louisville English professor, and his wife, the late Anne Axton.

On Belknap Campus, writers give a public reading and Q&A on the first day, and on the following morning they conduct a master class where select student work is critiqued. Both events are free, and the public is encouraged to attend.
Previous seasons have included Terrance Hayes, Junot Diaz, Brian Teare, Robert Pinsky, Charles Wright, Nathaniel Mackey, Susan Minot, Mary Karr, Stephen Dobyns, Lynnell Edwards, Colson Whitehead, Robin Lippincott, Robert Hass, Silas House, Beverly Lowry, George Saunders, Louise Glück, Hannah Tinti, Clare Vaye Watkins, and Lynnell Major Edwards.

I've been searching for this all night, maybe I'm not finding a solution because I don't know exactly what I am looking for.
I am trying have a WordPress page that includes the body of an external html that is generated by a CGI program (SFESurvey http://www.tesol.net/scripts/SFESurvey/). I know how to do this with Server Side Includes, and can call it with PHP on a non-wp webpage. I also could do it with an iFrame (at least with a traditional HTML page) but that isn't very pleasant. Can anyone point me to a plugin or a solution of some kind to allow me to do this. WP keeps stripping my code fragments, so I assume I need a plugin... but what?
Forgive me if this is a completely ignorant question. I'm new to wp, and this one part is really kicking my butt.
Thanks for your time.

Fort Worth Is Recruiting Gay Cops, and They Won't Even Be Openly Harassed by Colleagues
The Fort Worth Police Department has come a long way since 2009, when it marked the 40th anniversary of the landmark Stonewall riots, sparked by the ill-conceived, poorly executed raid of a New York gay bar, by conducting an ill-conceived, poorly executed raid of the Rainbow Lounge. The department reprimanded multiple officers, appointed an LGBT liaison officer, and began partnering with the local gay community, while the City Council, led by gay Councilman Joel Burns, passed a sweeping anti-discrimination ordinance.
Kudos to Fort Worth PD for the progress. Kudos also for the efforts to actively recruit LGBT officers by letting an openly gay detective share his story on YouTube. Yet somehow the video fails to persuade that Fort Worth PD, in its culture if not its policy, is quite ready to embrace the gay community.
Maybe it's the snide air quotes when Detective Chris Gorrie identifies himself as one of the "diverse" cops asked by recruiters to share his story, or the caveat -- "It kind of makes me wonder sometimes, 'What do they say when I'm not there?'" -- when he says he's never been openly harassed at work. Or maybe it's his general embrace of a don't-ask-don't-tell approach to working with colleagues.
In any case, it's hardly a ringing endorsement.

text: Hi I'm trying to add a custom menu with anchors in the dropdown navigational menu placed horizontally on the header banner, but when selected the menu font changes and it becomes a jumble of items in a somewhat vertical, superimposed catastrophe. Can anyone help please? I thought this was a simple standard option available with the theme. But I also haven't been able to find a current menu widget that inserts anchors. Anyone have any ideas please?
