I Want To Make It Big
There are two types of people in this world. One is pessimist and another is optimist. Sanjay is the second type. He is full of hope for a brighter future. Sanjay is a mechanic and runs a car service center in Noida, Uttar Pradesh. His shop is small but he has really big ideas for life. He recalls that day in year 2000, when his family sold some of their farm land to the government. They got money in the form of compensation. But instead of spending on luxury they built their house and invested in his older brother Rajeev's car service center business. That paid off and later Rajeev started pushing Sanjay to learn car repairing techniques.
Sanjay is the second in the family. He has two younger brothers. He smiles and says, he is the only person who went to complete 8th standard in school. But this never bothers him. Sanjay believes more than education one needs to be aware things around them and grab rightful opportunities without hesitating.
Now Sanjay want to take a big leap in the future. Along with brothers, Sanjay enthusiastically want to venture into a car service dealership form India's number one car company. For this, he is hopeful of raising huge amount of money. Sanjay says, one should think big to achieve big. His little eyes are full of dreams...

Controversial Cartoon On India's Mars Mission (Mangalyan)
New York Times apologised for a cartoon published in its newspaper. Cartoon categorically depicts India's Mars space mission as an attempt to enter into elite club of space missions. Before moving ahead, let's talk about this cartoon first.
Controversial cartoon depicts an Indian scientist with a buffalo. Scientist is wearing a traditional Indian attire dhoti and knocking at the cabin where two elite scientists are reading a newspaper. Newspaper's headline writes India's Mars mission. Cartoon depicts how India is trying to enter this elite club of Mars mission where developed countries already have a presence.
Hong Kong based Cheng has made this cartoon, who is famous for cartoons on world affairs. So what made New York Times to pull out this cartoon? Many readers complained that cartoon is full of racial overtone and mocks India's ambitious mars mission. This is not a first incident and I feel this won't be the last.
What India has achieved from her maiden Mars mission attempt, some developed countries took many attempts in reaching there. Across the world many scientists have been dumbstruck at the low cost of India's Mars mission 'Mangalyan'. This strong feat is in fact, less commendable in developed country's media. Rather they published a cartoon to mock at the ability of developing country's scientists.
Racial abuses in a developed country like Australia on Indians are not a new story. Many Indian students were brutally attacked and forced to flee from the country. Though Indian government took a firm stand on this issue but again there were recurrent issues of racial slur reported in Australia.
I feel, it is basically a result of colonial mindset which is still prevalent in the western countries. But what they failed to understand that world has changed a lot since last 50-60 years. Free movement of talent is a standard norm in 21st centaury. World is fast becoming a global village. No country can afford remain isolated. Ideas and information are easily accessible. Every country is depended and at the same time need other countries markets to expand. If the slightest incident of racial abuse occurs it will hamper the right atmosphere. Mindset must change with rightful germination of awareness.
Vote Yatra
Its a jouney to understand the political mood of the country. Extensive tour around the country just to take a look how common man is thinking about 2014 Indian general election. People will choose 543 member of parliament during month long, most expensive and extremly tiresome election process. It is thus important to notice whether local issues plays an important role in choosing a leader from a particular constitueny.
Way of life
It seems Tonga is still a way of life in India. It is a easiest and most cheapest mode of transport at many places in the county. This photograph has been taken in Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh, India. Visit small towns and anyone can witness how mordern and ancient systems are still present and working fine. A complete paradox...
Anna In America
It is great that Anna is gathering support of NRI's for his anti corruption movement outside India. Leading a parade in New York is also an example in this regard. But the question is how all these efforts will pay dividend in not so far general election which is due next year. It may happen soon also. Anna's movement, if we see correctly, is confined to mostly middle class. And this class has almost minimal role in the democratic process of electing candidates. They always regard Election Day as holiday and confine themselves inside the home or involve in some stupid recreational activities rather than standing in the long queues to cast their valuable votes for a genuine candidate. Their so called aggression is limited to writing on web, liking pages, twitting and lighting candles to support the cause. It is alright to do all these things and nothing wrong in that but, it is also important to do more than that.
Till now, middle class's participation in the election process was not even consequential when compared to lower classes who take all pain to cast every valuable vote despite adverse weather conditions and other reasons. Voting percentage in lower living condition areas are always higher than in high living condition areas. That's why major political parties are not even bothered yet and they have started trying to woo their vote bank with all means. Samajwadi Party is already distributing free laptops in Uttar Pradesh, Shivraj Singh Chauhan is giving away bicycles in Madhya Pradesh and latest news is UPA government led by congress party is working towards providing free tablet computers to poor students.
What all things denote? In my perspective, awareness for the electoral process is more important to make a drastic change. Lack of motivation in the middle class should be channelized into active participation in the democratic process. Let's hope for a better future and for that let's hope for drastic increase in voter percentage in those areas where it is almost negligible.

Is America really the home of the brave? Or is it the home of cowardly little bitches who can't get over something that happened a decade ago? Anyone who has paid attention to our political system or our media over the last 10 year knows the answer to this. The American people have allowed the terrorists to win. No doubt about it. At some point, the nation has to stand up to the fear mongering, and say enough is enough already.

The impact of the Gulf Coast oil spill has been dominating the news recently, but you shouldn't let that deter you from vacationing there this summer. Genevieve Shaw Brown, Senior Editor for Travelocity, explains what you should know if you have a future trip booked or are looking to head down south for a break.
First, educate yourself. There is a bit of a geography challenge when it comes to what areas have actually been affected by the oil spill. While there is some cause for concern in some destinations, the vast majority of the beaches along the Gulf and all over Florida are clean and open for business. The situation is terrible to begin with, but it can only be made worse by people cancelling or not booking trips to destinations that are not affected.
Also, use the internet before you cancel or book to see where the oil spill has landed. Travelocity has launched a page, www.travelocity.com/oilspillinfo, that's constantly being updated with information and deals to the region. VisitFlorida.com is also providing real-time updates and educating the public about popular destinations and beaches around the state. Because the situation is changing daily, it's crucial you stay informed of what's going on at your desired destination.
And if you you haven't booked yet, and are looking for last minute deals, hotel prices have fallen all over Florida. And you don't have much to fear if you do end up having to cancel your vacation, because many hotels have relaxed their cancellation policies. Some hotels are even offering oil-free guarantees. So take the time to research the hotels in your desired area to figure out which ones have the best cancellation policy for you.

Survivors of Childhood Cancer at Higher Risk of Another Cancer
For almost 10 years, Neglia and his colleagues have been studying the health and well-being of nearly 14,000 people from the U.S. and Canada who have survived childhood cancer for at least five years. The average length of survival since cancer therapy among these study participants is 15 years.
So far, 298 of these individuals who survived a childhood cancer have gone on to develop different cancers later in life. The most common of these are breast, thyroid, and brain cancer. Both Kaman and Neglia emphasized the importance of keeping these findings in perspective. That is, the risk of developing a cancer later in life after being treated for cancer in childhood is still small and is far outweighed by the great benefits of that initial treatment.
But overall, these individuals appear to have a six times greater risk of developing another cancer compared to a similar people who did not have childhood cancer. Those at highest risk for developing another cancer later in life are those who had Hodgkin's disease or who received radiation therapy in childhood. Those treated for leukemia in childhood are at greatest risk for developing a brain tumor later on.
"We did not find any association at all between age at therapy and the risk of breast cancer," said Neglia. "Previous studies have suggested that young girls treated for Hodgkin's disease with radiation therapy to the chest during times of breast development may be most susceptible [to developing breast cancer later on]. That actually has led to gender and age-specific recommendations for therapy. Our results contradict this finding and really stress the importance of close follow-up for any girl who received radiation to the chest at any point in childhood."
"Patients [who had cancer in childhood] need to know what the treatment was [that] they received, and they need to speak to a ... physician who is actually versed in these long-term consequences of therapy, to discuss what, if any, recommendations for follow-up are important," said Neglia. "An example of this is that any woman who received radiation to the chest during childhood [should] receive a mammogram, probably, at age 25."

Neighbors' appeal on mental health facility cites land use regulations
MIDDLESEX The basis of an environmental court appeal by neighbors of a proposed seven-bed psychiatric facility relates to town land-use regulations, and state officials plan to discuss the issue today.
State Mental Health Department administrators say the facility will help bring relief to overburdened emergency rooms. Since flooding from Tropical Storm Irene closed the Vermont State Hospital, hospitals have been acting more and more as buffers for involuntary psychiatric patients before patients can get beds at residential facilities.
In terms of freeing up acute hospital beds, if even one person were even able to be out of that bed one person moving out means that multiple people can then be served in acute care, said Frank Reed, a Mental Health Department administrator. The same (goes) with emergency departments.
A family whose backyard and house are next to the proposed site on Route 2 by the State Police barracks filed a notice of appeal, but the couple and their lawyer had declined to provide the legal grounds for their case. In a public hearing, one member of the couple, Brian Hannon, said his property value could be affected, among other issues, but paperwork filed last week didnt make that case.
Court papers filed Thursday showed the basis of the couples appeal relies on land use technicalities. Issues range from noise and parking to whether the facility conforms to the town plan and the building size complies with regulations.
Assistant Attorney General Gavin Boyles said that document, called a statement of questions, limits the scope of the appeal, so additional concerns could not be raised later.
State officials are confident they will prevail in the dispute, but have expressed concerns over the delay. The state has also indicated a willingness to get the case expedited, though that has not been requested.
The state is still weighing its options as far as how to move forward, Boyles said.
Boyles said a phone conference also has yet to be scheduled. A settlement has not been ruled out, he said.
Dave Burley, an administrator with the Buildings and General Services Department who testified at the Middlesex zoning board hearing on the project this fall, said Monday there was no restriction on the size of the building given the project.

A daily glance inside the numbers from the world of sports:
• The Royals took a 6-0 lead, but lost to the Tigers, 13-8. Kansas City became the first major-league team in 107 years to lose a game after leading by at least six runs and thus extend a losing streak to 13-or-more games. The last team to do that was the 1899 Cleveland Spiders, who blew a seven-run lead at Washington on Sept. 16, dropping their 24th consecutive game.
• Thursday afternoon's game began very well for Kansas City. Tony Graffanino, Angel Berroa and Doug Mientkiewicz hit back-to-back-to-back home runs, marking the first time in the history of the Royals franchise the team hit three consecutive home runs in the first inning. No major league team had done that since Sept. 15, 2004, when the Cubs' Derrek Lee, Sammy Sosa and Michael Barrett hit that trifecta in the first inning against Pittsburgh at Wrigley Field.
• Ivan Rodriguez hit a two-run triple in the eighth inning and a three-run home run in the ninth inning. He's the first player in the majors this season to record five-or-more RBI over the final two innings of a game. The only other Tigers' player to do that over the last 40 years was Shane Halter on Aug. 8, 2001.
• Texas overcame a seven-run deficit to beat Oakland, 8-7. It was the second-largest comeback victory in the majors this year. The Yankees came from nine runs back to beat Texas on May 16. Since the Athletics move to Oakland in 1968, they have lost only two other games in which they held a lead of seven-or-more runs: against Kansas City in September 1978 and against Texas in May 2000.
• Phil Nevin was hitless in his last 19 at-bats before hitting the game-winning home run in the bottom of the ninth inning. That was the longest hitless at-bat streak to end with a walkoff home run since May 13, 1995, when Kansas City's Gary Gaetti broke an 0-for-24 slump with a two-run homer off Troy Percival in the bottom of the ninth inning to beat the Angels, 4-2.
• Four different Oakland pitchers allowed at least one home run Thursday night, tying the most for any team in any game in the major leagues this season.
• Jonathan Papelbon got the save in Boston's 4-1 win against Tampa Bay. Papelbon is 16-for-16 in his save opportunities this year, tying the MLB rookie record for consecutive save conversions to begin a season. Baltimore's Gregg Olson converted his first 16 save opportunities in 1989. Major League Baseball began officially recording saves for pitchers in 1969.
• Carl Crawford had three hits at Fenway Park on Thursday night after his five-hit game against Toronto the night before. Jose Reyes (May 5-6) is the only other player in the major leagues with eight-plus hits over a two-game span this season.
• The Orioles blanked the Mariners, 2-0. It was the sixth time this season that Seattle was shut out, and all six of those games have been at home. Only two other teams in American League history suffered six home shutouts in one season before June: the 1914 Red Sox (six) and 1984 Yankees (eight).
• Rodrigo Lopez, who had lost his last six starts, threw 7 1/3 shutout innings in the Orioles' win. Lopez is the first American League pitcher to lose at least six straight starts and end that streak with a performance of seven-plus shutout innings since Seattle's Jim Beattie in 1984.
• Brett Myers beat the Mets, pitching seven innings and allowing three runs. Myers became the first Phillies pitcher since Curt Schilling in 1998 to not allow more than three earned runs in any of his first 10 starts of a season.
• Andy Pettitte has allowed three-or-more earned runs in each of the first two innings of a game for only the second time in his major-league career. Pettitte also did it while pitching for the Yankees on June 8, 2003 at Wrigley Field.
• The Astros stole seven bases in Thursday's loss to Washington. It was the first time that a team stole seven-or-more bases in a game since the Marlins did it on May 27, 2002. That was the longest span in the major leagues without a seven-steal game by one team since there were none from May 1969 to August 1974. There were 21 such games from 1995 to 2002.
• Tayshaun Prince had 24 points and 11 rebounds in the Pistons' 92-88 win over Miami. In Prince's entire NBA career -- 288 regular-season games and 77 postseason games -- he had never before had 24-plus points and 10-plus rebounds in a game.
• Detroit's bench contributed only three points (all by Antonio McDyess) in the team's Game 2 win over Miami. In the last 35 years, only two other teams won a Conference Finals or NBA Finals game with so few points from its reserves: the 1988 Celtics (one point) in a win against Detroit, and 1995 Magic (three points) in a win over Indiana.
• Anaheim out-shot Edmonton 25-3 in the first period. It was the largest shot differential in any period of a playoff game since 1980, when Minnesota outshot Toronto 30-5 in the second period.
• Anaheim won 6-3 at Edmonton. It marked the third time in this year's playoffs that a team staved off a series sweep by winning on the road. Dallas did it at Colorado on April 28 and Ottawa did it at Buffalo on May 11. Since 1982, only one other NHL team stayed alive when trailing in the series 3-0 by winning on the road: Buffalo (at Philadelphia) in 1997.
• During Thursday's opening round of the FedEx St. Jude Classic, John Daly became the fifth player this year to begin a PGA Tour event with four consecutive bogeys. It was the second time that Daly bogeyed holes one-through-four during the opening round of a PGA Tour event. He also did it at the 1998 MCI Classic, where he shot rounds of 79 and 78 and missed the cut.

ATLANTA -- Give Desmond Trufant credit.
Even if the Atlanta Falcons second-year cornerback wasn't fully responsible for a 63-yard touchdown given up to Tennessee receiver Nate Washington on Saturday night, Trufant certainly took ownership for the blunder.
``I'm definitely going to take the blame,'' Trufant said. `It's my responsibility. I've got to be over the top. And I can't get beat by width, either. I've just got to play better.''
It's fair to wonder if a safety should have rotated back to the middle of the field on the play. Strong safety William Moore jumped down to cover the tight end on Trufant's side, and free safety Dwight Lowery appeared to hesitate for a moment unsure whether to help underneath or drop back deep.
Not to mention the Falcons didn't generate enough pressure up front on Tennessee quarterback Jake Locker, who had ample time to find Washington. Jonathan Babineaux got to Locker a tad late.
Whatever the case, Trufant took the big play to heart.
``I've been working so hard this offseason and in camp and I've been dominating, but there's always like one or two plays in the last two games that I could have done better,'' Trufant said. ``I'm going to learn from it. It's still preseason. I've still got two more weeks to get ready for when it really count. Just know I'm going to be ready.''
Falcons coach Mike Smith said Trufant was ``part of the issue'' on the play.
``I thought we played a good first half except for the long play,'' Smith said. ``Again, what you see out there and when you don't know what the call is, don't try to put a culprit on it. There's 11 guys out there, not just one giving up a big play.''
The Falcons surrendered six touchdowns of 40-plus yards last season. It's an issue that needs to be resolved immediately, particular with the big-play ability Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints will bring to town in Week 1.

My esteemed colleague and new friend, Dr. Rohan Perera, host of the Medicine Unplugged Radio Program which I have been a guest on, told me about a really great site called WorstPills.org
It is a great place to view prescription drugs and get the scoop on what pills you are popping. WorstPills.org is researched, written and maintained by Public Citizen, a nonprofit, nonpartisan public interest group founded in 1971 to represent consumer interests in Congress, the executive branch and the courts. This organization does not accept any money for its work, which is a statement all by itself!
Modern day American has become a society similarly to the one described in Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. In this novel, Huxley describes the use of a fictitious drug called Soma to alleviate the stresses of our day to day existence. What is the point of living if every time we are in pain or are depressed, we reach for a bottle? Drugs were initially concocted to actually cure an ailment. However, in this day and age, society is duped into believing that they need to walk out of the doctor's office with a prescription if they are going to go to the office for an exam. To boot, if they don't want to eat right and take care of their bodies, they can easily swallow a pill to transform themselves into a thinner person.
Drugs seem to be unavoidable. Granted, while sometimes they are necessary to cure an ailment, why isn't the public in an uproar over the side effects caused by these miracle pills? Why are there so many commercials for greedy lawyers waiting to sue the big pharmaceutical companies for your unpleasant or near death experience? Just what kind of a business has been created at the expense of your health?
In my research for a current lecture that I have been giving this summer about Dandelions, I began reading the work of Nicholas Culpeper, M.D. (1616 –1654). Even 400 years ago, the medical profession was perceived as a business. This led to his two publications: The English Physician, 1652 and Culpeper's Complete Herbal, 1653. After the publication, Culpeper declared:
"This not being pleasing, and less profitable to me, I consulted with my two brothers, DR. REASON and DR. EXPERIENCE, and took a voyage to visit my mother NATURE, by whose advice, together with the help of Dr. DILIGENCE, I at last obtained my desire; and, being warned by MR. HONESTY, a stranger in our days, to publish it to the world, I have done it."
Here is something for you to ponder. How many people do you know are taking a drug for prevention or for an ailment? Rarely do you find people that are not taking a pill for one reason or the other. I cannot say that I know of many people that are free and clear. (Subsequently, I do not take any medication whatsoever and rarely take aspirin.)
As if this isn't bad enough consider the medication that is now given to animals in order to prevent disease (from living in close quarters). These cows, sheep, chickens, etc. are not exactly running around fields grazing freely under sunny skies. They are kept in disheveled pens that are carefully spaced to maximize available housing. In addition, there are a myriad of drugs given to encourage rapid growth and enhance milk production. This was evidently a very bad idea, especially when RBGH was administered to cows. Once it was found to harm the animal as well as humans, Monsanto opted to sell the company.
Society had a view that the drug pushers were low life people lurking in playgrounds, on street corners, etc. These days, all you have to do is get a prescription from your local doctor or clinic and you can now numb the pain away. The mentality must change. We need to cease thinking as we do and look at the big picture. Before you are told that you must take a particular drug for an ailment, do some footwork and find out what the side effects are as well as how this will change you. It is your body and if you don't take care of it, no one else will.

A discussion between an Oamaru businessman and a Picton
carver about how to make use of two tree trunks at the
Friendly Bay Playground in Oamaru will leave future
generations with an artistic legacy lasting a century or
New traffic arrangements due to be implemented on Tekapo
Canal Rd will mean anglers will retain road access to the
Tekapo canal, but will no longer be able to use the road as a
short cut from Lake Pukaki to Lake Tekapo.
A month-long project to fix potholes on a major Oamaru
thoroughfare, at a cost of nearly half a million dollars,
will start next week.
At the end of the official fundraising launch last night for
a proposed new medical centre in Twizel it was revealed
nearly half the $1.8 million needed had already been raised.
Moves to provide Waimate with a modern sports stadium are
finally pressing ahead, and a revamped facility could be up
and running by the middle of next year - if the plan finds
favour with ratepayers.

It was a perfect day for messing about on the water in Oamaru
yesterday, as Oamaru Harbour played host to the annual

After meeting representatives from Texan oil company Anadarko
yesterday, Waitaki Mayor Gary Kircher said he believed oil

really stands to reap the financial rewards.
About $2 million is needed to bring New Zealand's most

are making.

Ok, so I'm new to everything related to coding. So it will be a stupid question for most of you and I'll probably need sometime to make myself clear and to get the information you guys need from css (wherever that is...). Anyways, here is the issue:
this page: http://marcelolage.com.br/atuacao/criatividadeeinovacao/ has 2 unordered lists that are coded exactly the same way in the "text" tab of the wordpress edit page editor:
'[checklist icon="star" iconcolor="dark" circle="no"]
however, I can't figure out WHY ON EARTH the first one (which is inside a '[one_half] part) shows the stars OUTSIDE the text margin and the second ul is INSIDE the text margin. I want them both to be a little indented to the text above as the second one is. I've searched and tried everything I could find and nothing works.
It might be a little detail but I'm going nuts that I can't fix it! I appreciate your help!

Here are the latest estimates of outages for MidSouth customers:
Montgomery County - 5,000-6,000

Receive Specialized, Convenient Care with Bradenton's Only Walk-In Orthopedic After-Hours Service
In an ongoing commitment to preeminent, patient-focused healthcare, Coastal Orthopedics will launch Ortho After Hours on November 1, 2012. The walk-in clinic will allow patients the opportunity to receive full-service orthopedic care, from physicians with advanced specialties in orthopedic medicine. Ortho After Hours is a convenient option for patients who may not be able to take off work or school during regular business hours, as well as those who suffer an unforeseen injury during school athletics, playground activities or D.I.Y projects.
Ortho After Hours is located at Coastal Orthopedics State Road 64/Axcess Medical Plaza, 5101 4th Ave. Circle East Bradenton. The facility will remain open on Monday and Thursday evenings, from 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm, for walk-in patients only. No appointment necessary.
"Ortho After Hours was conceived by listening to our patients' needs," said Coastal Orthopedics CEO, Paige LeMay. "We learned that the typical business hours do not always fit into everyone's schedule, let alone their need for immediate, orthopedic specialty care."
Ortho After Hours offers a fully staffed facility, including:
- Evaluation & Treatment of bone & joint injuries
- X-Rays
- Casting & Bracing

Now that the summer tournaments have come to a close -- from the Fab Frosh camp in Lexington, Ky., to the adidas Nations Global Challenge in Portland, Ore. -- we had a chance to look back and see what stood out.
Here is a look at what impressed each person from ESPN Recruiting this summer.
Who is the best player you saw this summer?
Paul Biancardi: Austin Rivers (Winter Park, Fla./Winter Park) dominated the AAU Super Showcase with his scoring. He showed off all of the offensive weapons in his arsenal, including 3-pointers, midrange pull-ups, floaters in the lane and dribble-drives to the rim. On top of all that, Rivers is becoming a better passer and has the ability and confidence in himself to carry his team to a championship.
Adam Finkelstein: Relative to his age bracket, 2012 power forward Nerlens Noel (Everett, Mass./Everett) was the most dominant player I saw this month. He has the rare ability to dominate a game without scoring a point thanks to his shot-blocking prowess, and he put on a defensive clinic at the U-16 AAU Nationals in Orlando, Fla., leading BABC to a national championship. While older players, like Rivers and Michael Gilchrist (Somerdale, N.J./St. Patrick), may be better right now because of their physical maturity, Noel's dominance over his peers was second to none.
Joel Francisco: There were many elite-level players and outstanding performances this summer, but 6-foot-7 junior Khem Birch (Fitchburg, Mass./Notre Dame Prep) exhibited the type of talent and upside that could vault him to the top of the 2012 class. His frame resembles that of Tracy McGrady and he has a blue-collar approach to the game. His offensive skill set is still in its infancy, but his motor, bounce and savvy are peerless.
Michael LaPlante: It is a tie between Gilchrist and Anthony Davis (Chicago/Perspective Christian). Gilchrist has a dominant personality and elevates his play versus great competition, while Davis is a fast-rising power forward who may be the most talented player in the class with tremendous upside. Both players consistently dominated at the EYBL Finals at the Nike Peach Jam.
Reggie Rankin: Rivers is the best one-on-one player I watched and he has deep 3-point range, although he can be streaky. He is the most prolific scorer in the Class of 2011 and he can blow open a game with his ability to score in a variety of ways. His No. 1 strength is his confidence and swagger on the court. Plus, he has a short memory, so misses don't bother him.
John Stovall: The best player I saw all summer was Rivers. He put on some of the best performances over the course of the past couple of months. He can have some of the most dominant offensive stretches of anyone in the class. He may not be the best player or the best prospect, but at times he can be the most unstoppable.
What was the biggest surprise of the summer?
Biancardi: It wasn't surprising to me that Kansas State commit Thomas Gipson (Cedar Hill, Texas/Cedar Hill) played well at the Las Vegas Fab 48, but I was surprised with how effective and efficient he was on the blocks. Around the basket, he displayed strong hands to receive the pass with a soft touch to put it in the basket. The 6-7, 240-pounder knew his role, carved out space with his body, was productive on the glass and finished plays through contact.
Finkelstein: Being from New England, no one had seen as much of Pat Connaughton (Arlington, Mass./Saint John's) going into Orlando for the AAU Nationals as I had and even I was shocked to see how well he performed. The fact he started the month of July with one Division II offer and finished it with offers from a dozen high-major Division I programs -- including the likes of UCLA, Tennessee and Florida -- is absolutely astounding. That is something that probably won't be duplicated anytime in the near future.
Francisco: During Las Vegas Fab 48, I encountered the emergence of 6-8 center Erik Copes (Philadelphia/Imhotep Charter). He plays at a relentless pace and impacts the game at both ends of the floor. Offensively, his skills are raw, but due to his strength and energy he is difficult to contain.
LaPlante: It is a safe bet that almost everyone will say the biggest surprise has been Davis. After growing seven inches, Davis has transformed from an average 6-2 shooting guard into a skilled combo-forward that does it all. However, I'm going with Connaughton, who came into July with one Division II offer and left the AAU Nationals with dozens of high-major suitors.
Rankin: Davis because he has gone from being unranked to making a push for a top-5 spot or better in the Class of 2011. He has size, skill and length on offense and the ability to defend both post positions on defense. He has been dominant and consistent throughout the spring and summer.
Stovall: It has to be Davis. He is a player that went from being an unknown in April to being a consensus top-5 (probably top-3) player in the class.
What is your best memory from the summer?
Biancardi: During a conversation I had with Rivers and his dad (Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers), after Each 1 Teach 1's quarterfinals victory at the Super Showcase, there was a fan in the stands berating Rivers, saying that Houston Hoops was going to beat them in the semifinals. Austin looked up at the fan, who was waving a Houston Hoops towel, and then continued the conversation. The next morning, Rivers let his game do the talking. He dropped 37 points on Houston Hoops to advance to the finals.
Rankin: Watching the two best shooting guards in the 2011 class -- Rivers and Bradley Beal (St. Louis, Mo./Chaminade) -- match up in the Super Showcase and show off their great scoring abilities. Beal was like Ray Allen, running around screens to nail open shots, while Rivers got his own shot at will like Kobe Bryant or Dwyane Wade.
Finkelstein: One of the most exciting games I saw all summer took place when a U-16 team from New Jersey -- Hoop Heaven Elite -- knocked off Each 1 Teach 1 in pool play at AAU Nationals. Regardless of the fact Rivers didn't play for Each 1 Teach 1, it was a huge win for a team made up primarily of high school teammates from Gill St. Bernard's High School in Gladstone, N.J. Based on their reaction to winning that game, you might have thought they had just won the national championship.
Francisco: During the July evaluation period, there is always that one game that keeps you engaged at all times -- and for me that particular game was the New Jersey Playaz vs. Drew Gooden Soldiers in the semifinals of the Las Vegas Fab 48. Junior point forward Kyle Anderson (North Bergen, N.J./St. Anthony) put on a dazzling performance, but it wouldn't be enough as the Drew Gooden Soldiers' four ESPNU 100 players -- Kyle Wiltjer (Portland, Ore./Jesuit), Jabari Brown (Oakland, Calif./Oakland), Josiah Turner (Sacramento, Calif./Sacramento) and Nick Johnson (Gilbert, Ariz./Findlay Prep) -- would be too much to handle.
LaPlante: There were a lot of great matchups and individual performances throughout the July evaluation period, but the best performance that I caught this summer was a 47-point explosion by B.J. Young (Florissant, Mo./McCluer North) at the U-17 AAU Nationals in Orlando. The 6-3 blur is one of the best open-floor players in the country and gets into the paint and to the rim at will.
Stovall: Other than being on TV, the best memory from the summer has to be the great competition I saw. There were plenty of prospects playing hard with tremendous competitiveness. Overall, the EYBL and Peach Jam brought out some of the country's best talent.
Paul Biancardi, who has been a head coach and assistant on NCAA Tournament teams, is the national director of basketball recruiting. Adam Finkelstein is a frequent contributor, both in player evaluations and event coverage. Joel Francisco is a recruiting coordinator and has been evaluating high school prospects for over 20 years. Michael LaPlante is a recruiting coordinator who has over 20 years of coaching and recruiting experience. Reggie Rankin, a recruiting coordinator, has coached in the Mid-American, American East, WAC, SEC, Big 12 and Atlantic 10 conferences over a span of 14 seasons. John Stovall, a recruiting coordinator, has worked as director of scouting for Prep Spotlight Scouting Service and magazine for 15 years.

By U.S. Army Garrison-Hawaii Public Affairs, News ReleaseMarch 29, 2011
SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Hawaii - U.S. Army Garrison-Hawaii will be conducting research on aviation noise and potential natural and cultural resource impacts, March 21-April 1, at the Pohakuloa Training Area and three proposed landing zones in the Mauna Kea Forest Reserve, on the Big Island.
As manager and executor of all Army facilities and lands in Hawaii, USAG-HI is conducting the research as an additional measure to further assess potential impacts of proposed High-Altitude Mountainous Environmental Training, or HAMET.
"Our goal is to gather the most complete environmental data possible," said Col. Douglas Mulbury, commander, USAG-HI.
The garrison is undertaking this effort in coordination with 25th Combat Aviation Brigade, 25th Infantry Division helicopter pilots and support crews.
"We also want to reassure the community that we are taking their concerns very seriously." Mulbury said. "In the comments they shared with us during the HAMET environmental assessment comment period, community members were concerned about potential training impacts to natural and cultural resources, as well as noise. The study we're conducting will supplement the (environmental assessment), and we will be able to show the community the results of our live research."
In December 2010, the Army released an environmental assessment for the proposed HAMET training that analyzed potential environmental impacts.
The objective of this new research is to collect data from real-world scenarios to provide the Army with additional information on which to base its analysis.
Noise-monitoring equipment will be staged at select locations within a five-mile radius of the three proposed landing zones on the western slope of Mauna Kea. The equipment will continuously record background levels of noise and Army aircraft noise levels as they fly from PTA to briefly touch down at these landing zones and then return to PTA.
Army scientists on the ground will visually monitor rotor wash and dust patterns at the landing zones. These observations are part of expanded environmental surveys and will assess generation of dust and potential impacts to natural and cultural resources.
All flights will depend on weather and aircraft availability, and no flights will be conducted on holidays or weekends.
The Army will take precautions to protect areas of concern, such as the Mauna Kea Ice Age Natural Area Reserve, while conducting the research.
Modern GPS equipment will be used to navigate to landing zones, and flight routes will be designed to avoid critical habitats and known natural and cultural resources. The Army will also brief its personnel on Mauna Kea's natural and cultural resources, including their locations and significance.
"We will be closely monitoring the aircraft, and if at any time, we detect any harmful impacts to natural or cultural resources, we will stop the activities," Mulbury said. "It's important for the community to know that we do not take our environmental stewardship responsibility lightly."
The garrison will analyze the collected data and use it to determine the next steps in the environmental planning process.

" Staff were super helpful and friendly. Very helpful with information about hiking, parks and getting around on the bus. The layout of the place was a bit strange and our room didn't have a window, but it was good for sleeping in because it was so dark. Breakfast was pretty good, and there were dishes and everything to make your own food. An easy 15 or so minute walk to the waterfront, tons of food and bars around. "- Anonym

Wolf Story (Hardcover)
This irresistible book is about: a father; his five-year-old son, Michael (intelligent, crafty, addicted to stories); Michael's best friend Stefan (stalwart listener, equally addicted to stories); and, well--what else?--a story.
Oh, and a wolf. It is as Michael always demands: a Wolf Story, which begins one night at bedtime and spins wildly on through subsequent bedtimes and Sunday outings to the beach and park in a succession of ever more trickily tantalizing episodes. Waldo the wolf is sneaking up on Rainbow the hen, when Jimmy Tractorwheel, the son of the local farmer, comes along. After that, there's no knowing what will happen next, as while stalled in traffic jams or nodding off at night, the boys chime in and the story races on and Waldo finds, if not necessarily dinner, his just desserts.
First published in 1947 and wonderfully illustrated by Warren Chappell, William McCleery's "Wolf Story "is a delicious treat for fathers and sons and daughters and mothers alike.
About the Author
Chappell, calligrapher, type designer, illustrator, and writer of typographic essays and children's books, was born in Virginia.
Praise For…
"For the parent faced with a child consumed with the desire to hear the same story for the zillionth time, especially if it's a story with a wolf in it, joy has come with the reprinting of William McCleery's 1947 classic Wolf Story....I've loved this book for a long time, and it's good enough for a grown-up to read in silent pleasure, but it really springs to life when it's read out loud....Laughing and crying over made-up characters we know are made up, getting a kick out of it, and coming back for more is just one of those weird things humans do. And you can't start them too young." —Alexandra Mullen, B&N Review
"If you can get only one children's book this year, make it William McCleery's 1947 Wolf Story. This "underground classic" finds an inventive and exasperated father telling a wolf story to end all wolf stories (so he hopes) to his inventive and demanding young son. Dramatist McCleery perfectly captures the irritation, affection, tricks, admiration, and sheer surprise that pass back and forth between parent and child in everyday family life. It is in similar improvisational exchanges that we-adults and children-learn how to love." —Commonweal
"'You can kill the wolf at the very end, but this way we can have more story,' said Michael. The laughing child who listen will agree, for Wolf Story simply has to last forever. It is easy to imagine, from the natural conversational cadences and the impromptu unfolding of episodes, that the writing was no feat. But here is a little wok of art, funny, tender and captivating. To Warren Chappell, whose cleverly scratchy pen draws Rainbow and Waldo, Wolf Story also owes its attractive format." —The New York Times
"There is an air of distinction to this book. It is a pleasure to have and to read. One parent told me that if she were to compile a list of 'books for sitters' (and wouldn't that be helpful?), this book would lead all the rest." —Christian Science Monitor
"This charming book, perfect for reading aloud at bedtime, was first published in 1947. It's about Michael, an engaging 5-year-old, and his father, and the story Michael orders his father to tell about a hen the boy names Rainbow and Waldo, a rather foolish wolf." —The New York Times
"Wolf Story had been out of print for a decade. I had loved it in the 1960s and so had the 6- and 7-year-olds to whom I read it over the course of a month. I still enjoy it. The story-within-a-story technique, peppered with dialogue, is used to good effect. Adults reading this aloud will recognize themselves. Children will, of course, identify with Michael's determination to mold the story to his taste. In the end though, Wolf Story is a celebration of a happy father-son relationship." —St. Petersburg Times
"Wolf Story is tough-minded, without sentiment and very clever. It may well have been this cleverness that split the reviewers down the middle when the book was first issued in 1947. However, in the laboratory test our 9-year-old loved it." —The New York Times
"Wolf Story will captivate both parent and child as a father regales his 5-year-old son at bed time with tales of a fierce wolf, the hen he wanted to eat, and the farmer who wanted to shoot the wolf. Interruptions—by enthusiastic son Michael add to the fun. So do Warren Chappell's raffish pictures." —Chicago Tribune

Greater Celandine
In this Article
How does Greater Celandine work?The chemicals in greater celandine might slow the growth of cancer cells, but might also be harmful to normal cells. Preliminary research suggests greater celandine might increase the flow of bile. Greater celandine might also have some pain-relieving properties.
Are there safety concerns?Greater celandine is POSSIBLY UNSAFE when taken by mouth. It can cause serious liver problems. When applied to the skin, greater celandine can cause allergic skin rash.
Not enough is known about the safety of giving greater celandine products intravenously.
Special Precautions & Warnings:Pregnancy and breast-feeding: There is not enough reliable information about the safety of taking greater celandine if you are pregnant or breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.
"Auto-immune diseases" such as multiple sclerosis (MS), lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus, SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), or other conditions: Greater celandine might cause the immune system to become more active. This might increase the symptoms of auto-immune diseases. If you have one of these conditions, it's best to avoid using greater celandine.
Blockage of the bile duct (bile duct obstruction): Some greater celandine extracts appear to increase the flow of bile. There is a concern that this might make bile duct obstruction worse.
Liver disease, including hepatitis: There is some evidence that greater celandine can cause hepatitis. Don't use greater celandine if you have liver disease.

Hicks Don't Wear Thin Stripes
Save that for fancy-pants Philadelphia.
This is something we learned from the casting call for a GOP campaign ad in West Virginia's Senate race, which sought actors to dress in "'Hicky' Blue Collar" style while repeatedly forbidding them from wearing shirts with thin stripes. West Virginians cannot relate to people in thin stripes. [Politico]

Wall Street Journal: Selectively pro-science
–Our guest blogger is Prof. Scott Mandia, in a repost.
"Rigorous scientific studies have not identified links between autism and either thimerosal-containing vaccine or the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine" (Miller and Reynolds, 2009). The scientific community also tells us that the world is round, that smoking is strongly linked to lung cancer, and that humans are causing global warming. Recently, there were multiple editorials and op-eds in the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) bemoaning the fact that people have not believed the scientific community on the question of vaccine safety.
Unfortunately, while the WSJ touts accurate science with regard to vaccines, the WSJ is anti-science when it comes to climate change. Read on for an analysis of the WSJ's coverage of climate change and to read an excellent Letter to the Editor that was never published.
The WSJ has an archive of editorials and op-eds in a category labeled Climate Change that is only available to subscribers. (Non-subscribers can see a few lines of content for each article but not the entire piece.) Between October 2008 and January 25, 2011 there were a total of 86 articles in the archive. I decided to sign up for a one-year subscription ($103) that featured a two-week free trial period. After reading all 86 articles, I canceled via phone and was not charged.
I scored each article using the following criteria:
PRO: Article supported the scientific consensus.
CON: Article did not support the scientific consensus, mocked or attacked the science or scientists, or cherry-picked data to cast doubt.
MISSING: Article ignored any mention of human activities as a cause of climate change but did not misinform otherwise.
N/A: Article was about non-science issues such as the pros and cons of cap and trade, carbon tax, political strategies, etc.
Figure 1 below shows the results:
Fig. 1: WSJ Editorials and Op-Eds and Correct Climate Science
There were only 4 op-eds (no editorials) that were pro-science!
Figure 2 below is the result of removing the 29 N/A articles and combining the CON and MISSING articles into one category.
Fig. 2: WSJ Editorials and Op-Eds and Correct Climate Science
Figure 3 below shows a pie chart of the WSJ's coverage of climate science. It is the OPPOSITE of the scientific consensus!
Fig. 3: WSJ Coverage Opposite of Science
97% of climate science experts and every international scientific organization endorses the conclusion that human activities are primarily responsible for modern global warming. An honest newspaper should reflect that consensus.
Why does the WSJ mis-report climate science 93% of the time?
After reading the editorials and op-eds it becomes clear that the WSJ does not like the SOLUTIONS to climate change so they attack, misinform, and ignore the science in the hope of avoiding or delaying dealing with the issue. A more honest approach would be to accept and explain the science of climate change and then debate how best to mitigate and adapt to climate change. Why did the WSJ side with science in its autism/vaccine articles and not with climate change science? The most likely answer is that they were protecting the pharmaceutical industry that profits from producing vaccines and other medicines while also protecting the fossil fuel-based industries that profits from the current carbon status quo.
The WSJ should be telling its readers what they NEED to hear and not what they WANT to hear.
They have an obligation to report the overwhelming consensus on scientific issues so that their subscribers can make informed decisions, especially when those decisions have great financial consequences.
When considering future investments, WSJ readers cannot peer into the crystal ball if their heads are buried in the sand.
Dr. A. J. Dessler wrote a letter to the WSJ pointing out the irony of coverage of climate change science which he has allowed me to post here. The letter was not published by WSJ:
Your Editorial, "The Autism Hoax" Jan 8-9, 2011, highlights the failure of the medical scientific community to quickly put down an errant 1998 publication in The Lancet that blamed childhood vaccines for a coincident rise in diagnoses of autism. An explanation for this extended time for resolution can be offered by considering a parallel with what is happening with the present scientific findings on global warming. The Editorial states, "Researchers have all the while continued to churn out studies disproving the vaccine-autism link", but nothing much happened for a decade. Similarly the atmospheric science community continues to "churn out studies" proving that increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses are largely responsible for global warming. Professional scientific organizations have collected, condensed, and synthesized these studies to estimate a range of climate consequences that can be expected.
However, the media, sensationalizing the inevitable contrary work by a negligible minority of the qualified scientific community, has caused doubt to pervade public perception. It is perhaps puzzling that statements on global warming by, for example, the American Academy of Sciences, American Meteorological Society, and America Physical Society, have not dominated media reporting. But the media usually gives roughly equal weight to the skeptical ideas of a small number of qualified scientists. As in the vaccine-autism debate, this has inflated the ideas of only a few to produce conflict in public thinking. It is important that the media not exaggerate skeptical ideas of a few individuals over the considered work of many hundreds of qualified researchers, lest the vaccine-autism circus be repeated.

10 Responses to Wall Street Journal: Selectively pro-science
Bravo to Scott Mandia and Bravo to Dr. Dessler!
And SHAME in the Wall Street Journal!!
Professor Mandia's analysis is remarkable. This is the sort of analysis and criticism we need much more of. The WSJ folks should be deeply ashamed of themselves: they are in the land of zero credibility, and they deserve it. The harms they are causing go FAR BEYOND whatever misinformation their readers might use when making investment decisions. Their dishonest and deeply misleading coverage influences our democracies ability to understand the situation and to make informed choices. What's at stake? The future of our children, our children's children, people around the world, thousands of species, and the very nature of the world we live in.
If this analysis is anywhere near correct, these folks (who are choosing to not cover the science and to confuse the matter in their own near-term self interests) are committing a genuine crime against humanity, a moral outrage against humanity, or call it a huge sin if you like that sort of language.
I am astonished. The WSJ should acknowledge this problem, fire those responsible (which means that some of them should fire themselves; i.e., resign), and do a "180" — committing to cover the science accurately and to convey the (very newsworthy and vital) reality that all of the largest bona fide scientific organizations, and over 97 percent of qualified relevant scientists, agree that climate change is real, is a real problem, and is caused by the human activities we've been talking about all along.
I think this analysis is quite remarkable. Now the questions are: Who else will cover this remarkable analysis? And will the WSJ change its tune?
Bravo again to the authors!
Don't we just love responsible organizations.
Who owns the Wall Street Journal?, follow the ownership.
I think it is fair to say that the WSJ is not even selectively pro-science. They are pro-business, and most strongly pro-business for the businesses that advertise in the WSJ.
Good summary, thanks.
Murdoch knows the science of climate change just fine. The problem is that, like Koch and Boyce, he has persuaded himself that his own "prosperity" is somehow good for the world. There's a word for this outlook: insane.
In the long run, Murdoch is just screwing himself by damaging the WSJ's credibility.
(ahhhh – duplicate comment issues)
Scott this is really amazing work – I would love to help document how other papers behave as well. This could be what future law suits are made of!
This inspired me to write the following email to a few friends and family;
A recent study was performed on Wall St. Journal articles on climate change. Of the 86 articles listed in the Wall St. Journal Climate Change archive;
-93% either do not support the scientific consensus, mock/attack the science/scientists, or ignore any mention of human activities (but did not misinform otherwise)
-7% supported the scientific consensus
-100% of National Academy of Sciences support the consensus position
-100% of American (and International) Scientific Organizations support the consensus position
-97% of actively publishing climate scientists support the consensus position
-99%+ of peer-reviewed literature on the subject support the consensus position
Ironically, in a recent article entitled "The Autism Hoax" the WSJ criticizes scientists and the media for not giving more credibility to the overwhelming consensus position, stating, "Yet it is only recently that professional journals and media have rediscovered a responsibility gene."
There are three ways I can imagine "debating" the conclusion that the Wall Street Journal does not accurately represent Climate Science to it's readers;
1. The WSJ in fact does in fact endorse the consensus position (i.e. the first story is wrong)
2. Human-Caused Climate Change is not in fact the consensus position (i.e. The "consensus" statistics above are wrong)
3. Human-Cause Climate Change isn't happening (i.e. fuck the consensus)
Dad, please reconsider your WSJ subscription, and XXXXX, I would love to hear what your dad thinks about these statistics (and if he wants to choose 1,2, or 3).
The above is meant to be purely factual, for my opinions on this matter:
The WSJ on Autism continued: "They (the health community) also bear some responsibility for the dollars that have been diverted from research into finding the real causes of the terrible affliction that is autism. Let's hope they now broadcast the vaccine truth as much as they encouraged the vaccine panic." So the WSJ is clearly NOT consistent on what the media's responsibility is on scientific consensus positions – so what are they consistent on? In the autism case, their reporting shows a (justified) bias towards the pharmaceutical and medical industries. In the climate change case their reporting shows a (completely unjustified) bias towards the oil, coal, and gas industries. Yay big business!!!!
Bias is bias. If you value accuracy in your reporting (umm… duh?) I can't see why you would want a big-business spin on everything you read. And if you do, skip the WSJ and go straight to some company website.
Oh wait, even exxon mobile reports climate change more accurately.
Is there a maximum length for comments? – A post of mine didn't seem to go through and yet registered as a duplicate…
Really Short Version:
1 – Scott this is amazing – If I can help expand this to other papers I would be glad to.
2 – How can the WSJ get away with this when even exxon can't?
Friends and family with WSJ subscriptions have been emailed to reconsider…
[JR: I won't post very long comments, but long is ok.]
This comes as no surprise if you know a little about Rupert Murdoch. Every publication he takes over turns to dingo dung.
He's a sociopath who has an innate hatred of the "elite" – which is effectively anyone who disagrees with him. Take a look at RUPERT MURDOCH – A PORTRAIT OF SATAN and you should be able to understand why and how he has turned once respectable publications in to anti-science propaganda rags (e.g. The Times of London).
Murdoch is up there with the Kochs for being most responsible for eroding a liveable climate on this planet.
P.S. Everyone should familiarise themselves with Murdoch's portfolio and avoid buying any of it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/News_Corporation#Holdings
Nano Particles used in Untested H1N1 Swine Flu Vaccines
Vaccines which have been approved by the responsible government authorities for vaccination against the alleged H1N1 Influenza A Swine Flu have been found to contain nano particles. Vaccine makers have been experimenting with nanoparticles as a way to "turbo charge" vaccines for several years. Now it has come out that the vaccines approved for use in Germany and other European countries contain nanoparticles in a form that reportedly attacks healthy cells and can be deadly.
Beijing Tests confirm deadly effects on humans
The fact that WHO, the European Medicines Evaluation Agency, the German Robert Koch Institute and other health bodies today would permit the population to be injected with largely untested novel vaccines containing nanoparticles says more about the powerful pharma lobby in Euiropean politics than it does about the sanity or moral integrity of the civil servants responsible for health of the general public.
The September 2009 issue of the respected European Respiratory Journal, made public on 19 August, and available since 21 August online, contains a peer-reviewed article with the title, "Exposure to nanoparticles is related to pleural effusion, pulmonary fibrosis and granuloma."
In their report, the scientists concluded something so alarming it is necessary to quote at length:
"Immunological tests, examinations of bacteriology, virology and tumour markers, bronchoscopy, internal thoracoscopy and video-assisted thoracic surgery were performed. Surveys of the workplace, clinical observations and examinations of the patients were conducted. Polyacrylate, consisting of nanoparticles, was confirmed in the workplace. Pathological examinations of patients' lung tissue displayed nonspecific pulmonary inflammation, pulmonary fibrosis and foreign-body granulomas of pleura. Using transmission electron microscopy, nanoparticles were observed to lodge in the cytoplasm and caryoplasm of pulmonary epithelial and mesothelial cells, but are also located in the chest fluid. These cases arouse concern that long-term exposure to some nanoparticles without protective measures may be related to serious damage to human lungs."3

Five Surviving Exotic Animals To Be Given To Ohio Man's Widow
Ohio officials have decided they will hand over five animals to the widow of a man who last October paralyzed a community by releasing 56 lions, tigers, bears and other exotic animals from his farm.
According to the Zanesville Times Recorder, "the Ohio Department of Agriculture has decided to lift the quarantine on the five animals belonging to Marian Thompson. ... [The] grizzly bear, two leopards and two monkeys ... have been housed under quarantine at the Columbus Zoo."
It isn't yet known when the animals will be handed over or where Marian Thompson will take them, the newspaper adds.
Last Oct. 18, as we reported at the time, Marian Thompson's husband Terry released the animals and then shot himself. Sheriff's deputies were forced to hunt the dangerous creatures. Only six survived. They were captured and taken to the Columbus Zoo and Acquarium. The Associated Press says that one of them, a leopard, was later euthanized.
The AP adds that "Marian Thompson's attorney, Robert McClelland, said his client has adequate cages for the surviving animals, according to a letter obtained last week by The Associated Press through a public records request."

Some Gun Owners Have an Odd Way of Talking About Their Firearms
AR-15 owners wax enthusiastic.
The AR-15 owners interviewed for a New York Times look at what makes the gun so attractive offered up few explanations as to its usefulness aside from the fact you can shoot a lot of coyotes with it. Basically, it's fun, they said of the weapon that might be subject to a ban after it was used in the Newtown Massacre. "Some people crochet, some people shop, some people shoot guns," one explained. Okay, they're not exactly comparable, but a hobbyist's attraction seems kind of understandable. But what is it about shooting that particular gun, about cranking out big loads bullets at a time, that makes it so enjoyable? "I don't want to make it sound weird, but it's almost like holding a live animal. You've fired the thing, and it's kicked around, and there's the smell," Patrick Mason, of Las Vegas, told the paper. "When I put 20 rounds downrange, I'm like, man, I need a burger, yes!" Dude, you can just have the burger.
