Posted on 01/30/2007 1:12:56 PM PST by FreedomCalls
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- An elderly man is dead and two Jacksonville Sheriff's Office detectives are on administrative leave after an undercover narcotics investigation ended in gunfire late Saturday.
According to the JSO, detectives Donald Maynard and James Narcisse had been working undercover for about three hours in the 2300 block of Westmont Street when 80-year-old Isaac Singletary approached them with a gun just before 6 p.m.
The officers said they ordered the man to put down the gun. However, Singletary did not drop his weapon and gunshots were exchanged.
Singletary was shot several times. Paramedics rushed him to Shands-Jacksonville Medical Center, where he died.
Less than 24 hours after the fatal police shooting left his uncle dead, Gary Evans told Channel 4 he's mad.
"Eighty-years-old, and they had to shoot him twice or more in order to subdue him. I'm very upset about it," Evans said.
He said his uncle was territorial and mad about the drugs on his street, and would often take his gun and try to scare the drug dealers away.
On Saturday, things went terribly wrong.
"My uncle asked the officer, which he didn't know at the time he was a police officer, to leave his property and he didn't," Evans said.
Neighbors told Channel 4 that Singletary was very protective of his property.
"You don't expect somebody to come pointing a gun at you, and once they do that, the officers will tell them to drop the gun," JSO Chief Dwain Senterfitt said. "We're still investigating what statements were made, but obviously, at that point, the officers' lives were in danger."
Police said they are still trying to figure out if the undercover officers had time to tell Singletary they were undercover officers. They said the detectives had to hid behind a tree to avoid being shot by Singletary.
According to police, the officers had been in the neighborhood since about 2:45 p.m., and had made five drug-related arrests.
"In the course of our undercover activity and making several arrests in this neighborhood, a man we now know to be a resident of that area, Mr. Isaac Singletary, was shot by officers," said Director of Investigations and Homeland Security Micheal Edwards.
Saturday's shooting was the third JSO-involved shooting in three weeks. Unlike last week's case at the Sable Palm Apartments, there is no dispute whether Singletary had a gun.
"There was a confrontation between them and an exchange of gunfire," Edwards said.
However, the question of who fired the first shot remains unanswered.
"He shot at my uncle first. He was the first one to shoot, and my uncle returned fire," Evans said.
"As you know, our investigation into any shooting must be thorough and methodical. At this time, there's a limited amount of information we can share," Edwards said.
As the details of the shooting are being hashed out, scared neighbors and sad family members remember Singletary.
"I looked in his eyes I saw his pain. I felt the pain for him. He never bothered anybody. He's never done anything to anybody. He didn't want anybody in his yard," said neighbor Antionette Douglas.
Is there a legal opinion regarding this situation? (Legit Question)
Well at least he is truly free now. Prayers go out to his family.
The War on Citizens , errr, I mean Drugs, still marches on.
It is against the law to sell drugs, purchase drugs or possess drugs. The cops were doing their jobs in arresting people. Grandpa drew down on the wrong guys.
Sad ending.
The story does not say if they were on his property or not. It does mention that the old man didn't like drugs on his street.
Most residents of drug infested neighborhoods want the cops out there arresting people and getting rid of the problem element. It's sad that he died.
Yup, so next time anyone thinks they might try this make sure to fire first ~ odds are very much against your target being a cop.
I recently saw one of those cop shows taking place in Florida.
The cop was saying the thing they feared most were armed citizens. The reason being the cops behave and looked like criminals. They don't recognize people's property, climbing on roofs, going through yards etc.
Whether the cops properly identified themselves is a big question. A related question, is would or should someone believe them, especially considering so many cop impersonators.
While more facts or coverup to is to come, my bet was this was a wrongful death.
Hey, if incidents like these prevent just one American adult from smoking a joint, it's worth it. We need paramilitary raids in our communities to keep us safe.
Oh, I don't know, odds are the perps are better armed than the cops.
You are throwing up a straw man argument. Most of the drug traffic takes place in poorer neighborhoods and the residents held hostage by dealers and gang bangers want them out there doing their best to bust dealers.
This has nothing to do with the JBT paras harassing citizens.
"It's sad that he died."
It is because he was one of the good guys, it seems. We've all seen in movies where undercover or plain-clothes cops sometimes get confronted by civilians trying to "help". Hate to see it in real life, though.
Oh goody. Another "I'm a 'libertarian' and thus don't need facts" thread.
Oh, now don't throw water on Hunter's parade, he was on a roll.
Make that "some" drugs.
Now Grandpa is yet another example of why the rationality of this whole pile of insanity needs to be re-examined.
I suspect that these undercover officers were selling the drugs and their targets were beig arrested down the street. The old guy probably called the police and after a time went out to confront them.
This is just my guess based on quotes from the story. Sad day. The old timer meant well and was probably a good force in the neighborhood.
Is there a legal opinion regarding this situation? (Legit Question)
Good question. I don't think that undercover officers are above the law. If they didn't have a warrant, would they be trespassers? If the elderly gentleman thought they were a threat, was he within his rights to use deadly force (point a gun at them) to make them leave? (Think Castle Doctrine in Fla.) If they were criminally trespassing, did they even have a right to self defense? (I thought that one generally didn't have a right to self defense if one was committing a crime and that crime lead to violence).
Finally, in the end, could these cops be looking at manslaughter charges? If they didn't have a right to self defense, that sure looks like a possibility.
I think that at the least, a humongous civil suit might be filed against the city.
Any legal eagles got any answers to these questions?
What do you think was for sale in that neighborhood? My bet is crack and smack.
And your point is.......what?
AND IF IT WAS YOUR GRANDPA? Would you be saying that to yourself? NO NO I DON'T THINK SO!!!!!!
Here's a few ideas:
1. Arm EVERY law-abiding citizen in the neighborhood and let them patrol their blocks.
2. This will save the cops the trouble and save taxpayer's money.
3. Drug dealers will get the picture in about 7 minutes and move out.
I think everyone's forgotten that citizens can do anything better than government at a lower cost and in less time.
The original story (and thread) from yesterday said they were on his property.
""My uncle asked the officer, which he didn't know at the time he was a police officer, to leave his property and he didn't," Evans said."
So, at least his son says the undercovers were in the yard.
If, as the article stated, Mr. Singletary asked them to leave his property and they refused, then it is most definitely a wrongful death. Just because the cops are impersonating thugs doesn't mean they can ignore this man's property rights. So what if real thugs would not have left. They're cops, they should have left immediately.
After the situation calmed down, they could revisit Mr. Singletary and suggest in the strongest possible terms that he leave drug fighting to them.
However, from the info in the article, they are culpable and should be held accountable.
We don't have enough information here to know if the cops were on that guy's property though.
If they were, and he told them to leave, and then they just shot him, the big payoff to the family isn't going to be the end of the story.
How was gramps to know they were cops since they were undercover?
Whatever can I say.
Now, that name of yours? Did you know that elk/reindeer/etc (one species, different names) have something like 3 to 5 times as much iron compounds in their muscle tissue as cattle and similar animals? You need some genetic structure to help your body avoid "near toxic levels" of iron as a consequence.
This is a long term thing though. http://www.cmj.hr/2006/47/4/04_CMJ_47(4)_Ross_16909452.pdf covers the business quite thoroughly.
I was reading this last night when I recalled "there was this Freeper with an "elk name" something or other and he should check it out".
If the officers were on the man's property dressed and acting like dealers or buyers, how's he supposed to know that he's not in danger? Maybe the best thing for the cops to do in such a confrontation (resident demanding they leave the property) would be to just leave the area and call for uniformed back-up?
Or are there a lot of 80-year-old dealers out there trying to protect their territory?
I would have to consider the facts but if he's out there waving a gun then he would have had to assume some risk for his behaviour.
Did son witness the affair?
Why didn't the officers leave his property?
The first rule of street & military intelligence: Know who your (potential) allies are. You flunk this rule, and innocent allies die in "Friendly Fire."
That was sort-of my argument. Plus they said the old guy approached them three times, so it's not like he surprised them.
I have no idea why they just didn't leave if he gave them the opportunity.
There was another thread on the same story where I posted plenty of comments.
Did you know that elk/reindeer/etc (one species, different names) have something like 3 to 5 times as much iron compounds in their muscle tissue as cattle and similar animals?
I have family members in the beef business.
Moot point, I can't seem to draw a permit when there's a Democrat Governor (which is nearly all the time).
Yeah, it's also illegal to trespass, and in most states tresspassing at 2:30 AM with a gun in hand (out of uniform) may be good cause for Grandpa to cap your ass.
Grandpa drew down on the wrong guys.
Well we don't know that from the story. It could be they shot him first, as his son claims. I don't think we know.
Since we do not have the details, I could only speculate that Mr. Singletary noticed the activity, and went out to run them off...
Whether the undercover officers were actually on his property and not hanging around on the sidewalk or fringe of the property we will never know...And is probably a moot point now...
My suggestion is that anyone who notices suspicious activity should actually call (obviously for what its worth) and inquire to the activity...It might actually be some police sting activity...They are not going to not be where the action is...
If you know you live in a high-traffic area where you know (and don't say you don't, my inlaws live right next door to a revolving door operation in Pasadena, Texas) there is drug activity, drop that dime anyway!!! I seriously doubt anyone will return your call quickly enough, or even let you know if that is a police operation...Would kinda blow the surprise if you ask me...
And the police are not going to know if a resident like Mr. Singletary is not a risk of divulging information to anyone who might either retaliate, or lay low till the heat is off their area to continue the illegal activity...
So there are a lot of factors playing into this deal, and the shooting is a real tragedy...I do not know how the JSO could correct their procedures to keep this from ever happening again...
And if they did, who's to say the drug dealers won't pick up on this trend, and if anyone approaches them in the future they couldn't lie to keep a citizen from spilling the beans on their crimes??? Just to make a few more bucks before the "real heat" starts coming down on them???
Best thing to do in that circumstance is kill 'em first and ask questions later.
Giving bad guys or cops a chance just gets you killed.
On second thought, scratch that post.
Too easily misinterpreted.
I (can barely) appreciate our sarcasm, however, we have to ask ourselves where are these drugs coming from.
The answer is: ****MEXICO****
If Jorge Bush (el hombre sin cajones, y campeón de la unión norteamericana) would even TRY to SEAL OUR BORDERS we wouldn't have ANY of this nonsense.
~~obligatory immigration threadjack~~
Sad, but bad idea to point your gun at someone unless they are threatening you. Old west rules, you draw first, that is a threat that justifies return fire.
On a related note:
I think most marijuana is either grown inside the US or imported from Canada actually. I don't think Coca or Poppy grows very well in the Mexican climate. A wall needs to be built but to think it will stop drugs from entering the country is naive at best.
>"Oh goody. Another "I'm a 'libertarian' and thus don't need facts" thread.
What part of that sentence is factually wrong?
If the police tell you to put down your gun, put it down!
Live theatre. The show must go on.
You do not know why this man died, thus the entire sentence is prejudice masquerading as judgement. You're a "libertarian" aren't you?
There is not enough information. We don't know who fired first. We don't know what the resident said to the cops. I do not have specific knowledge of Florida laws but would you think the cops culpable if the resident fired first? Does a Florida homeowner have a legal right to shoot anyone in his yard who fails to leave when ordered to?
Not when you are on your own property, and they aren't identifying themselves properly. Florida has the "castle doctrine."

Margot Sullivan is a reference librarian at the Morrill Memorial Library. Read her column in the Norwood Transcript & Bulletin this week.
I am frequently amazed at the reluctance of some people to take the commuter rail train into Boston. It is so easy and provides a quick (about 22 minutes) ride into Back Bay or South Station. The upcoming stations are loudly announced so you won't get off at the wrong stop (one excuse or fear I have heard). I suppose you would if you fell asleep!
I love looking at the people on the trains and being a librarian I am checking what they are reading or doing! My most recent trip included two magazine readers, several real book readers, computer users, a kindle reader, a knitter, and me!
Young kids are great on trains and ask wonderful questions! A young boy was intrigued by the screeching of the brakes as the train pulled into each station. "What is that?" he inquired. His father replied "those are the air brakes". From then on every time the train stopped the little boy asked "How come I keep hearing the air brakes?" I loved the conversation between a mother and her young son. He constantly asked "Is this our station?" as each station was named. His mother patiently said no we have several more to go. When the conductor announced "Readville Station, Readville Station" the little boy said "Mom is that where all the people go to read?" I kid you not!
I will admit I am totally annoyed listening to cell phone conversations on the train about just anything – shopping, mental health, gossip, and whatever. Everything under the sun is discussed often in a loud voice. Isn't it ironic we are so concerned about privacy issues but so many could care less what the world hears while on their cell phones!
I get off at Back Bay. What a wonderful area of Boston to walk around in. A few blocks up Boylston Street and you are in the public gardens and during the summer I just sit on a bench and watch the swan boats – a Boston institution. People watching also goes with the territory! Trinity Church and the Old South Church welcome you to just come and rest and contemplate. Newbury Street is bustling with shops and some art galleries where I usually find some paintings of Maine!
My target is always the Boston Public Library. I worked there many years ago and have great memories of the pre-computer/network/internet days when the huge card catalog was the source for locating books in the collection and reference departments housed many reference materials. The original McKim building is magnificent – a real Boston treasure.
The building itself has been cleaned and the murals cleaned and restored. The courtyard is a cool oasis. The Map Room Café has luncheon items and beverages. The attached Johnson building opened in 1972 and houses most of the circulating materials and a lot of computers for public use.
I sat for several hours reading a novel I was finishing for our summer Beach Reads session here at the Norwood library. Both buildings had interesting exhibits commemorating the 150 anniversary of the Civil War. I especially liked the Winslow Homer prints in the Wiggin Gallery. Homer did the prints for illustrated weeklies and they show rural life, the brutality of the Civil War, pastimes, and women's roles all during the time period 1858-1873. The exhibits are still on display this summer!
Treat yourself to a day in Boston! It's easy! It's affordable! It's fun!

Class of 1981 Spring Letter
Spring 2012
Greetings, Classmates!
As spring 2012 arrives, the class of 1981 has a new representative (spy?) on the Luther campus: Congratulations to Paul Mattson, who has been named the new executive director of Luther's library and information services! Paul will bring all the skills and knowledge he gained from his years at IBM to lead Luther's merged library and IT services. He and Miri (Peterson) recently moved to their farm in Preston, Minn., so the commute is both manageable and beautiful.

Thousands of anti-government protesters gathered in Cairo's Tahrir Square on Friday with numbers swelling, as supporters of Egypt's President Mohamed Morsi held a rival rally on the other side of the capital.
Waving Egyptian flags and chanting "Leave", the protesters joined hundreds who had camped overnight in Tahrir -- the epicentre of the revolt that toppled Hosni Mubarak in 2011 and catapulted Islamist Morsi to the presidency.
Anti-Morsi protests also took place in several parts of Cairo including the neighbourhoods of Shubra, Sayeda Zeinab and Mohandesseen.
Outside the capital, opponents of Morsi took to the streets in second city Alexandria, in the Nile Delta city of Mansura and in the canal city of Port Said.
The protests come ahead of mass anti-Morsi rallies planned for Sunday.
Morsi's Islamist supporters, who gathered in Cairo's Nasr City neighbourhood, have vowed to remain on the streets to protect the president's "legitimacy", raising fears of violence.

7. Bake until potatoes are tender, about 1-1/2 hours. Precise timing is not important (another 20 minutes won't hurt). Bake uncovered or cover loosely with foil for the first 40 minutes.
8. Tie up tightly and place in a basket.
Additional Notes:Note: To keep the potatoes warm, the Yankee Kitchen highly recommends the newspaper trick. Cover the casserole with foil, wrap it up, and put it in something that will provide another layer of insulation.

Secretary for Education Lesley Longstone said today that
Talent2, the Australian company behind the plagued Novopay
school payroll system, will face financial penalties.
Mrs Longstone told Radio New Zealand Talent2 would be held
accountable but would not say what price it would pay.
"The details of that are commercially in confidence."
The Ministry of Education has a series of key performance
indicators in its contract with Talent2.
Talent2 broke its silence this week when chief executive John
Rawlinson met with school sector groups and apologised.
Mr Rawlinson would not say how much Talent2 was being paid
for the first phase of the contract with the ministry, but it
was believed to be about $100 million.
Mr Rawlinson confirmed on Radio NZ, he expected Talent2 would
be penalised if they were found to breach key performance
He gave assurance the problems with the system would end.
"Eventually it will be a better, more efficient system."
Mr Rawlinson offended schools this week when he told Radio NZ
schools were not "embracing" the new payroll system.
"The biggest challenge we've had was the sector wasn't ready
to change. Paying the schools relies heavily on school
administrators. They weren't able to adapt to putting the
data in online.
"The system was too complex - the training that the ministry
provided was online - we now know that not everybody was able
to get the benefit out of that training."
The comments come as reconciliation for annual pay and leave
for more than 8000 teachers on annual contracts are due,
along with pay of other staff over the Christmas holiday
Up to 90 per cent of schools have been affected by pay
problems since the system began and 70 per cent are still
having problems.
Mrs Longstone said the ministry had a back-up plan if pay
problems persisted - boards of trustees could use contingency
funds to pay staff.
The Ministry of Education has so far called more than 1500
schools this week about their end of year payroll reports.
Ministry of Education group manager Rebecca Elvy said 83 per
cent of schools had sent their reports in and the ministry
would continue to call to help those schools that haven't
completed them.
"The ministry is committed to ensuring the end of year
payroll process goes smoothly for all schools and staff."
2005 - Talent2 wins tender for software system through a
process described by Ms Longstone as open, competitive and
following government best practice.
2006/7 - Ministry of Education decides to contract for the
whole payroll service, not just the software
2008 - Talent2 awarded contract after second tender process
2010 - Talent2 supposed to have rolled out payroll system
2012 - $30 million Novopay payroll rolled out

A Russian court on Friday rejected an application by protest leader Alexei Navalny to cancel the results of Moscow mayoral polls after he challenged the Kremlin-backed incumbent and lost.
Navalny filed a lawsuit demanding that the results be ruled illegal after pro-Kremlin Sergei Sobyanin candidate narrowly avoided a run-off with 51.3 percent. He was sworn in just four days later.
Navalny, who finished in second place with 27.2 percent, claims that Sobyanin engaged in illegal campaigning, bribing elderly voters with food packages and rigging the vote on several polling stations.
His team argues that without the alleged rigging, Sobyanin would not have got the more than 50 percent of the vote required to avoid a run-off election.
The Moscow City Court rejected the suit, Russian news agencies reported.
Navalny said on his blog that the judge refused his requests to call witnesses and to see election documentation.
He said he would continue to seek to have the election result overturned through the district courts.
Russian leadership has praised the September 8 polls. Putin congratulated his ally Sobyanin last week in a lavish ceremony where the mayor also received the blessing of Orthodox Patriarch Kirill.
Independent observers have said they registered irregularities, though not as widespread in the parliamentary polls of 2011 which prompted mass rallies in Russia.
Navalny still faces jail time over his embezzlement conviction in northern Kirov region. His appeal hearing has been scheduled for October 9 and he could go to prison for five years if it is rejected.

Should do very well in the oral section. Mention his goal for added interest.
Some people want to be President or achieve some other lofty goal. This guy has a much more noble objective: deposit facials on 1,000 sexy porn starlets. One man. One camera. One mission. My hero.
The first scene in this continuing quest is said to be #100 and, being a tenth of the way to his splattering goal, Andy shoots on a trio of eager faces: Skyla Banks, Lucy Lee and Eve Lawrence. During the proceedings, each gal shows off her deep throat prowess, and Lee buries him down her throat all the way to the balls.
The rest is more of the same - mostly hand and mouth action to get him to pop.

I'm sick of reading 'endangered'. Who cares? Kill that shit.
In this case, as so often, the endangered mussel is the canary in the coal mine. It's not about the mussel, it's about the habitat that makes the mussel possible, and by the bye makes human beings possible too. Water crises are likely to be huge news in the coming decade; I admit I didn't expect to hear about Atlanta's first. You should see what's going on in the Southwest.
I thought you meant Drylanta would do for diarrhea what Mylanda did for heartburn.
Dang. Some days I could use a little of that Drylanta to settle things down, if you know what I mean.
What a bunch of pussies. Albuquerque has gone through water rationing each and every summer for as long as I can remember, and no one suffers horribly for it. Smart people have no lawns to begin with, car washes recycle all their water, and people still take normal showers.
Who needs hurricanes or natural means to create civil disasters in large cities?
It's funny because just this morning NPR was reporting an almost identical water crisis in California. And like Atlanta we also have an endangered species - the Delta smelt- that is potentially compounding the problem. A federal judge ordered a reduction of up to a third in water supplies in order to protect the Delta smelt. While I agree with Fnarf, that the fish may just be the canary in the coalmine, it's clear that SOMETHING needs to be done.
Next time you're at the store pick up a bottle of Dasani brand water. Turn it over and look at the label. In small print you will see that it is a Coca Cola company and it is bottled in...Atlanta, GA. Yup Dasani is Georgian tap water...gee I wonder why they have a water shortage.
wierd, i thought i saw this first on national television. maybe it was PBS?
what is wrong with you stanger? do you search once and then declare stories "uncovered by national media?"
Anyone who waters their lawn should be shot.
I'd actually been searching for this story in news reports all weekend. Sadly, ABC had to go and kill my inflated sense of exclusivity this morning. Thanks for pointing it out, as I don't exactly benefit from the story being hidden.
Want scary? read anything about drinking water supplies in China.
The difference between this and China is that China is trying to balance rapid industrialization with feeding 1 billion+ citizens, and Atlanta is trying to balance watering the lawns of 1 million+ gated community residents and making caramel sugar water.
Urghhhhhhh. Coke only makes the *syrup* in Atlanta. The Coke itself is bottled around the world with LOCAL water sources.
Anyone who waters their lawn and uses herbicides/pesticides on it should be shot twice.
@14: I'm sorry, were you trying to make some sort of counterpoint? It takes water to make the syrup, genius. Lots of water.
"Coca-Cola is waiting to see what restrictions might be imposed at its Atlanta syrup plant, but has already cut back as part of a corporate water conservation plan."
Didn't they privatize the Atlanta water utility ten years or so ago? Could that have anything to do with the poor preparation for this crisis?
laterite- *Bzzzt.* I'm sorry, that's the wrong answer. Cola syrup is mostly corn syrup. Not water. The very article you quote points out that Coca Cola isn't even the biggest beverage water consumer in Atlanta- that would be a Gatorade (PepsiCo) bottler. But thank you for playing...
Right, the end product *is* syrup. That's why I said it takes lots of water to *make* the syrup. You don't just mash up some corn and bottle it. A huge amount of water is required as a medium for steeping and separating. The article wouldn't have made a point to mention Coca-Cola if they weren't a huge consumer of municipal water resources.
Anyway, my original point, which has now been successfully trodden to death, is that this drought is driven by our wasteful society. At least in China the problems of water supply are driven by the need to grow food for half a continent. In Atlanta it's so people's lawns can look pretty and their teeth can rot with sugar water.
laterite- my point had been that Coca Cola doesn't use as much water in Atlanta as one might think- only 1/7th as much, in fact- thinking that many people didn't know that Coke's only product was syrup, not bottles of soda.
But then you decided to be a dick and call me a "genius", and I had to respond. So it's your fault the argument got derailed, not mine.
And for the record, there's no "steeping and separating". The amount of water used is less than the volume of the syrup produced. Go to http://www.colawp.com/colas/400/cola467_recipe.html if you want an example of how to make cola.
But you're *totally* right about Atlanta deserving it's fate and capitalism digging its own grave and all that. You're so smart, you're probably right about everything.
Thank you for acknowledging that fact.

In the control panel for my mac book pro I have an icon called Boot camp. Inside there and inside the trackpad tab I have an option called drag lock.
It sounds useful to me as I sometimes find it awkward dragging long distances. I can't figure out how to use it though. Can someone explain how I can find out more info on drag lock? I can't find any references on google.
Also even without the dragging option on I can drag.

Wangari Maathai, Nobel Peace Prize laureate and founder of the Green Belt Movement, offers a refreshingly unique perspective on the challenges facing Africa, even as she calls for a moral revolution among Africans themselves, who, she argues, are culturally deracinated, adrift between worlds.
The troubles of Africa today are severe and wide-ranging. Yet what we see of them in the media, more often than not, are tableaux vivantes connoting poverty, dependence, and desperation. Wangari Maathai presents a different vision, informed by her three decades as an environmental activist and campaigner for democracy. She illuminates the complex and dynamic nature of the continent, and offers hardheaded hope and realistic options for change and improvement. With clarity of expression, Maathai analyzes the most egregious bottlenecks to development in Africa, occurring at the international, national, and individual levels cultural upheaval and enduring poverty among them and deftly describes what Africans can and need to do for themselves, stressing all the while responsibility and accountability.
Impassioned and empathetic, "The Challenge for Africa" is a book of immense importance.
About the Author
Wangari Muta Maathai was born in Nyeri, Kenya, in 1940. She is the founder of the Green Belt Movement, which, through networks of rural women, has planted over 30 million trees across Kenya since 1977. In 2002, she was elected to Kenya's Parliament in the first free elections in a generation, and in 2003, she was appointed Deputy Minister for the Environment and Natural Resources. The Nobel Peace Prize laureate of 2004, she has three grown children and lives and works in Nairobi.
Praise For…
Praise for Unbowed
"Wangari Maathai's memoir is direct, honest, and beautifully written—a gripping account of modern Africa's trials and triumphs, a universal story of courage, persistence, and success against great odds in a noble cause."
—Bill Clinton
"Wangari Maathai and the Green Belt Movement demonstrate the intimate connection between sustainable management of Africa's rich natural resources, democracy, good governance and peace. Such are the solutions that will bring new light to Africa. I hope the world will support her vision of hope."
—Nelson Mandela
"Wangari Maathai's story is more than that of one woman's struggles . . . It is also the story of Kenya, Africa, and the world. The environment she fights for is the totality of the ecological and social conditions of our being. Her life is a triumph of good over evil."
—Ngugi wa Thiong'o, author of Wizard of the Crow
"Wagari Maathai is the rare leader who knows who to create independence, not dependence.
—Gloria Steinem
"[Maathai's] story provides uplifting proof of the power of perseverance–and of the power of principled, passionate people to change their countries and inspire the world."
—The Washington Post
"Inspirational . . . Ms. Maathai will not be beaten down."
—The Economist

I'm at a breaking point and would just like advise as to what I should.
Ever since my boyfriend and I found out I was expecting, I feel like we have fallen apart. We both talked about children constantly prior to getting pregnant and we were trying to conceive. When we found out I was finally pregnant we both were so happy. But then all of a sudden our relationship started changing. I started to see less and less of him. We don't currently live together so we would try to see eachother as much as we could. However, for the past 9 weekend, I haven't seen him at all. He would constantly make up excuses that he was working on his truck, or his family asked him to go with them some where, or he'd go snow boarding. He even missed our anniversary because he was working on his truck. It has caused us to fight every single weekend. He tells me all i want to do is control him and take him away from every thing and I tell him all I want is to see him. We used to spend every day together and it's decreased so much that I see him maybe 2-3 hours a week. I try to talk to him and feel like nothing I say gets through to him. After we fight on the weekends, we make up during the week days and then again come Friday, he has plans to go do something with someone else. However when i try to make plans with him, he wont because he doesn't know what is going to come up this weekend.
So today I didn't push him away persay, but when he'd try to talk to me I'd respond but my answers would be very short. I was tired of putting on a front to him like nothing was wrong. Well after doing this, he then proceeds to text me and say that he's had a lot of time to think lately and he doesn't think relationships are for him. He feels like all i do is complain to him and try to control him and he doesn't like who I've become.
I am really nervous because this is my first child, and I don't want to raise this baby by myself. I don't know if he just needs time and if he is going to come back to me once he's got everything out of his system or if he really is done. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should do or any advice?

Frank Finlay CBE 1926-2016
Frank died peacefully at home on the 30th January 2016 from heart failure following a short illness. His family said; "Goodbye to a wonderful Father, loving Grandfather and a damn fine Actor".
The international press has reported his death widely with many headlines echoing that he was indeed a 'damn fine actor'. The family has said they are overwhelmed by the messages of support they have received and read on social media.
Amongst the many extensive obituaries which praise both his acting and the length and range of his career perhaps The Independent said it most succinctly "Frank Finlay: One of the finest character actors of his generation. He never courted fame, but simply worked hard, with wonderful results."

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
In this article
Hypopituitary Overview
Hypopituitarism is a condition in which the pituitary gland (a small gland at the base of the brain) does not produce one or more of its hormones or else not enough of them. This condition may occur because of disease in the pituitary or hypothalamus (a part of the brain that contains hormones that control the pituitary gland). When there is low or no production of all the pituitary hormones, the condition is called panhypopituitarism. This condition may affect either children or adults.
The pituitary gland sends signals to other glands, for example the thyroid gland, to produce hormones, such as thyroid hormone. The hormones produced by the pituitary gland and other glands have a significant impact on bodily functions, such as growth, reproduction, blood pressure, and metabolism. When one or more of these hormones is not produced properly, the body's normal functions can be affected. Some of the problems with hormones, such as with cortisol or thyroid hormone, may require prompt treatment. Others may not be life threatening.
Recommended Related to Skin Problems & Treatments
Sporotrichosis is an infection of the skin caused by a fungus, Sporothrix schenckii. This fungus is related more closely to the mold on stale bread or the yeast used to brew beer than to bacteria that usually cause infections. The mold is found on rose thorns, hay, sphagnum moss, twigs, and soil. The infection is more common among gardeners, nursery workers, and farmers who work with roses, moss, hay, and soil. Once the mold spores move into the skin, the disease takes days or even months to...
Read the Sporotrichosis article > >
The pituitary gland produces several hormones. Some important hormones include:
- Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is a hormone that stimulates the adrenal glands (glands on the kidneys that produce hormones). ACTH triggers the adrenal glands to release a hormone called cortisol, which regulates metabolism and blood pressure.
- Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is a hormone that stimulates production and secretion of thyroid hormones from the thyroid gland (a gland in the hormone system). Thyroid hormone regulates the body's metabolism and is important in growth and development.
- Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) are hormones that control sexual function in males and females. They are also known as gonadotropins or sex hormones and include estrogen and testosterone.
- Growth hormone (GH) is a hormone that stimulates normal growth of bones and tissues.
- Prolactin is a hormone that stimulates milk production and female breast growth.
- Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is a hormone that controls water loss by the kidneys.
In hypopituitarism, one or more of these pituitary hormones is missing. The lack of hormone results in a loss of function of the gland or organ that it controls.

Bush policies cause U.S. carbon dioxide emissions to soar in 2007
The year of living stupidly is over. No longer must we put up with the nonsense that Bush's policies are anything but an outright catastrophe for greenhouse gas emissions and future generations.
U.S. carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels increased by 1.6 percent in 2007…. Factors that drove the emissions increase included … a higher carbon intensity of electricity supply.
President Bush immediately released a statement:
We are effectively contributing to the problem of global climate change through flawed energy policy, obstructionist domestic and international climate policy, and general disinformation.
Okay, he didn't release that statement, but he should have, given that after EIA revealed the temporary dip last year, he claimed:
We are effectively confronting the important challenge of global climate change through regulations, public-private partnerships, incentives, and strong economic investment.
Bush is so funny it hurts.
As an important aside, the main reason carbon dioxide emissions growth haven't been even faster under Bush is that he's had two economic slowdowns, 9/11 (which severely depressed air travel), and a rapidly growing trade deficit with China. Had we manufactured in this country everything we actually consumed over the past seven years, the rate of growth of U.S. carbon dioxide emissions would have been about 50% higher [I discussed this point in my book, but haven't yet blogged on it, an omission I will remedy shortly].
For a year we have been putting up with nonsense from the administration and conservative groups about Bush's successful climate policy compared to the rest of the world. In September, the President actually said "Do you realize that the United States is the only major industrialized nation that cut greenhouse gases last year?"
Everybody knew it was a confluence of unique factors that had nothing to do with Bush policy — "higher gasoline prices, a sharp drop in heating demand from an unusually warm winter, which helped bring about a decline in natural gas prices (and hence more use of this clean fuel for electricity generation)." Nobody who advanced the nonsensical claim that Bush's policies had something to do with the 2006 emissions drop took up my bet on 2007 emissions,
$100 for every 0.1% emissions drop this year against $100 for every 0.1% rise this year.
Too bad. I could have used the $1600. I can't really make the same offer again for 2008 because Bush's energy and economic policies have driven the economy into the ground, while allowing gasoline prices (and the trade deficit with China) to continue to soar, so my guess is U.S. emissions will rise only slightly, if at all, this year.
Now that the year of living stupidly is over, perhaps we can get back to the serious business of adopting climate policies that actually do reduce emissions year after year.
You can get all of the details on 2007 U.S. emissions from EIA here.
8 Responses to Bush policies cause U.S. carbon dioxide emissions to soar in 2007
Nice job in 2006 though.
Of course it doesn't even compare to the 3.5% increase in 1996 or the 3% increase in 2000. Hmm, who was president then?
How much of the increase in in CO2 emissions was caused by negative global warming. Just what was the average heating degree days in the US during 2007? NOT ALL STATS ARE PROOF OF YOUR RELIGION. What is the GNP over CO2 stat, how does it compare with China? Or why doesn't the PPMs of CO2 follow the emissions directly?
This inane carbon based delusional dystopia you are trying to create is starting to actually concern me.
Just what was the increase average when Joe's administration was in office?
43 might not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but in every metric he's outperformed his predessor in reducing the rate of increase in emmisions of the CO2.
Had we manufactured in this country everything we actually consumed over the past seven years, the rate of growth of U.S. carbon dioxide emissions would have been about 50% higher.
OK. So? Care to explain how different US policies to reduce CO2 emissions would do anything other than push manufacturing to China more quickly?
while allowing gasoline prices (and the trade deficit with China) to continue to soar, so my guess is U.S. emissions will rise only slightly, if at all, this year.
But don't you want gasoline prices to soar? I don't see any way to reduce US CO2 emissions without increasing gasoline prices. US gasoline prices are far below the rest of the developed world.
This is the rate of increase of carbon emissions in the US. It isn't the world-wide rate of increase of carbon emissions. It is also the rate of change of emissions. The 1% annual growth is a 1% compounding exponential growth rate of CO2 emissions.
And the whole point is that Bush got lucky in 2001 and 2006. Clinton managed to work the US economy through a mid-cycle slowdown and produce an unparalleled growth and 10 years between recessions — back before we cared as much about GHGs and climate change (global warming didn't get much press before 1998), so historically Clinton got "unlucky".
Also the average emissions per year for Dubyuh was 5894 million metric tons while under Clinton it was 5486 million metric tons.
And economic progress is good for the economy, bad for emissions (at least currently there's a link when all our energy inputs to our economy involve carbon emissions), while poor economic performance is good for emissions. So what does that tell you about Bush's economic policies?
Plus when we buy goods at Wal-Mart that were made in china we are importing goods and exporting carbon emissions. That carbon got burned in order to make our cheap goods.
Funny chaps there. The greatest nation of the world?
What are they meaning? Must you obey even idiots, where is your democracy? You voted them to destroy us all?
Just how is the US destroying the rest of the world, 1.Saved France & G. Britain 1918, repeated it in 1945, saved SE Asia from Japan 1945, and Saved Japan, Saved south Korea from generations of suffering. Saved S. Vietnam for 14 years. pretty much invented the only 24/7 non carbon power- Nuke Energy, Helped keep the towel heads out of Israel, Freed the Philippines Islands–a slight stretch, freed the panama canal zone, freed Kuwait 1991, freed the Iraqis 2002, only the Former Soviet Union arguably has freed more people recently, and they are trying to unfree them.
I'm embarrassed we didn't support Finland against the USSR in 1940.
Finnjor, Why don't you and yours step up and take away some of the responsibility your country's failures to act has created.
I don't think of the USA as the greatest nation in the world, just the least bad. I am trying to improve it. What are you doing to fix your little experiment in government?–Letting the fools in Brussels take away even more of your rights with the new constitution?
Keep poking a bear/Eagle and you'll end up as bear/eagle feces.
Every year the rest worlds grows faster then the US the share of the phony guilt that can be assigned to the US for actually having a rational economy that works is lessening. The US haters need to find a new characteristic of the USA to hate. It isn't our fault you have allowed your governments to mismanage your economies for decades.
The graph that you place in your article shows that GWB has been very effective at holding down CO2. Look at the 7 years of his Presidency vrs. the prior 8. GWB has a net increase of 2.5% over his 7 years. Clinton (with Gore as VP,) had an increase in every year, totaling 14%.
2.5% vrs. 14%…that isn't too shabby considering the growth of the economy has been over 25% in that time frame.
Now I understand that you would like to see the numbers going the other direction – so would I. But given an expansion of 25% in the economy, a CO2 increase of 2.5% seems rather heroic. I would expect better years will follow as this issue has grown in importance to many Americans, including Republicans.

The Backyard Brewhouse, Unit 8A Gatehouse Trading Estate, Lichfield Road, Brownhills, Walsall, WS8 6JZ in the local authority area of Walsall, and ceremonial county of West Midlands but the shire county of Staffordshire.
The rabble crammed into the brewhouse, out of the rain, are a bunch from Wakefield CAMRA. The coon-to-be-replaced Skoda on the right doubles as dray for small loads and tows a trailer for larger quantities.
On this board are displayed the brews so far on this six barrel plant.
Proprietor, brewer, and everything else, Austen Morgan has a degree in food technology and first, so we were told by a local CAMRA official, worked as a biker (biking bread) so has been using yeast all his working life. He usually brews twice a week.
Austen did 11 years at the Highgate Brewery in Walsall before branching out on his own.
only the best malts from Fawcetts of Castleford and Warminster Maltings

Because the main elecrtic heater is well off the bottom of the copper, and heat rises until a rolling boil is achieved, a gas burner is placed beneath for the start of the boil.
Fermenters here have a cut-out for easier access by Austen.

mash tun
Austen says his distinctive plastic casks pay for themselves in just six trips, and aren't as attractive to thieves. We saw just a couple of unserviceable casks.
You'd not risk piling that many metal casks on the plywood roof of the office.
Behind the Skoda used for small deliveries, Austen can hitch up this trailer with about ten casks.
We were offered a sample of of GB. It's a classic copper coloured best bitter offering biscuit, and malt flavours with a hint of chocolate - the next best thing to a chocolate digestive. The sweetness of the malt is balanced by the bitterness from best British hops.
Austen Morgan - that almost two famous British car marques.
Austen receives a commemorative certificate from Wakefield CAMRA Chairman, Mark Goodair.
....and he's delighted!
Austen gave us directions to the nearby Royal Oak pub on Chester Road, where Backyard beers are often available. It's a former Ansells pub which has been retained many fine Art Deco features from the 1930s plus sensitive renewals which maintain the style.
When Allied closed Ansells Brewery in Birmingham , the bitter was brewed at Joshua Tetley, Leeds.

Well, it's a radiogram, a sort of early mp3 player
Where the interior décor has been renewed it maintains the style.

Polk County authorities say two Lakeland men accused of running a cockfighting operation are now facing charges.
Investigators believe more than 100 roosters were involved in Lao Her and Sang Thao's operation. Thao and Her are facing charges of felony baiting or fighting animals. According to records, the pair was released Saturday after posting $1,000 bail.
The sheriff's office said deputies were acting on a tip when they went to Her's home with a search warrant Friday. Authorities seized birds and found cockfighting videotapes. Her told authorities that he owned 70 of the birds, and said the rest belonged to Thao.

I downloaded a CentOS VMware file which can be played on the VMware Player. the problem for me is that I would like to install some software in the CentOS playing on the VMware player, but I don't know how to do it. I've downloaded the software package in my Win7 system. How can I call this package in the CentOS system to install?

This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
You need to do a few simple things & then youre there. First, I would recommend configuring the networking component inside of VMWare as bridged. Then I would decide on using DHCP or a static IP address for this guest. Start with DHCP since it is easy. Then, as root, or a suer with permissions, do a /etc/init.d/network restart and then a ifconfig to check that you like your TCP IP stack. You can also do a netstat -rn to check your default route and a cat /etc/resolv.conf to check your name servers. Ping a handful of things to make sure you are well connected. Then run yum update. Then run yum install lynx and then run yum install ntpd and then run yum install my-stuff as needed. If you dont know exactly what you need, run yum search keyword (like yum search mysql) to find out what you need, once you have the package name, go from there. Also know that yum allows you to install "groups" of some softwares, so ask the interwebs for advice about how to do that. Or just install them as needed until you get what you need. If this machine is critical, you will most certainly want to run reboot and then once it is back up again, confirm that all networking and daemons are running as you want. Last, run chkconfig --list for the list of daemons that start at boot time. Tweak that list to flip those on and off as you need by running a command similar to this chkconfig ntpd on and chkconfig dhcpd off.
