Bumgarner struggles; Cardinals win Game 1 of NLCS
SAN FRANCISCO – When the St. Louis Cardinals and San Francisco Giants were lighting up the AT&T Park scoreboard like a pinball machine in the early innings, Game 1 of the National League Championship Series seemed on its way to being a classic slugfest.
And then a whole conga line of relievers came in and threw a big wet blanket over everyone's fun.
Teams that had combined for 10 runs in the first four innings managed exactly two hits over the last five, with six Cardinals relievers making the early outburst stand up for a 6-4 victory.
"That wasn't how we wanted to do this," said Cardinals manager Mike Matheny.
Of course they'll take it.
And the anonymous corps of relievers will relish the opportunity to shine. The Cardinals got their offense from the typical sources–two-run homers by October heroes David Freese and Carlos Beltran. Just when the Giants took a huge bite out of their 6-0 lead to make it 6-4, Matheny unleashed his Dirty Half Dozen, an assortment of relievers who hit every part of the spectrum in terms of stuff and facial hair.
"It's awesome," said rookie Trevor Rosenthal, who was firing 99 mph fastballs. "It's exciting. We all love each other off the field. To be able to come in and pick each other up is huge."
Pitching did not figure to be the story of this game. Not after Giants starter Madison Bumgarner continued his late-season struggles and gave up six runs by the fourth. And not after Cardinals starter Lance Lynn, who started with three clean innings, absolutely imploded in the fourth. He gave up four straight two-out hits to bring in four runs.
As the Giants brought the potential tying run to the plate, AT&T Park was rocking. The crowd was roaring, their orange towels waving. Matheny summoned Joe Kelly, who had just a few minutes to warm up because Lynn crashed so quickly.
Angel Pagan greeted him with a smash up the middle, but second baseman Daniel Descalso made a nice diving stop and a flip to second to snuff out the rally, quieting the ballpark.
Kelly got two outs in the fifth and left two runners. Marc Rzepczynski escaped that jam when he got Brandon Belt on a flyout. Rosenthal then pitched a scoreless sixth. Sinkerball specialist Edward Mujica struck out the side in the seventh, going through the heart of the Giants' order.
Mitchell Boggs and Jason Motte, a pair of relievers with bushy beards and big fastballs, worked the eighth and ninth with ease, finishing off the game.
"Right now we're a pretty strong bullpen," Mujica said. "They give the ball to us and we have a lot of confidence."
The Giants' bullpen actually performed even better—not allowing a hit over 5 1/3 innings—but they did so from behind. Bumgarner had left them a lot of work because he had nothing, an ominous sign for the Giants, who are not committing to him for Game 5 because of his struggles.
Bumgarner gave up a two-run homer to Freese in the second. In the fourth, he gave up run-scoring hits to Pete Kozman and Jon Jay before Beltran popped one into the left field bleachers. Beltran has hit 14 homers in 108 postseason at-bats, an all-time-best ratio of one per 7.71 at-bats.
"We had our guy out there," Bochy said of Bumgarner. "He just didn't have his good stuff and made a couple mistakes. The guys did a great job of battling back. The bullpen did a great job."
The star of the Giants' bullpen effort was Tim Lincecum, who worked two scoreless innings. He's now an even stronger possibility to get a start in the series, although it could be in Game 4 for Barry Zito or possibly Game 5 for Bumgarner.
The Giants, who won the World Series two years ago because of their outstanding pitching, have now played six postseason games without getting a quality start.
"We certainly need some good starts," Bochy said. "There's no question about it."

The Washington Post is reporting that tens of thousands of people from many unions, environmental groups and liberal organizations gathered at the Lincoln Memorial today as a response to the Tea Party.
The groups behind the march - including the National Council of La Raza, the NAACP, the AFL-CIO, the Service Employees International Union, USAction and the U.S. Student Association - hope to make a political statement in response to conservative commentator Glenn Beck's rally in August. That gathering partly filled the Mall with tens of thousands of his supporters, and tea party groups across the country have held anti-tax rallies. But fewer people than in August gathered at this march.
Fox News summarized the purpose this way:
With a month of campaigning to go and voter unhappiness high, the Democratic-leaning organizers hope the four-hour program of speeches and entertainment energizes activists who are crucial if Democrats are to retain their majorities in the House and Senate. The national mood suggests gains for the GOP, and Republicans are hoping to ride voter anger to gain control of the House and possibly the Senate.

I love the color the model is wearing in the dress style number 007000934. What color is it? Blue? The picture does not look like the 'satin blue' in the color chart. I realize that the computer colors will look different compared to in person, however I am ready to process my order I just need to finalize the right name of the color according to the model. Satin Blue? Thanks!

With the first semester of the 2011-2012 school year in the rear view mirror, Spencer County school district administrators and faculty now have access to data courtesy of the Measures of Academic Progress test that can help educators determine if their students are making adequate advancements throughout the school year.
Thirteen years ago, farmers in Bullitt and surrounding counties heard a similar story.
The federal government was looking to make cutbacks in the Farm Service Agency and that would result in a reorganization in its office locations.
When that happened, services for Bullitt, Spencer and Jefferson counties were all located into a facility in Mount Washington.
Now, the latest round of cutbacks may mean that farmers in those counties will have to seek assistance in new locations by the end of the year.
Spencer County Emergency Medical Services is under new leadership following reports that the EMS facility on Spears Drive was dilapidated, with rodent excrement, possible mold and holes in the ceiling and floor.
The lack of communication regarding the condition of the building was one of the reasons Judge-Executive Bill Karrer gave during Monday morning's Fiscal Court meeting for his decision to relieve then-EMS Director and Director of Emergency Management Darrell Stevens of his posts.

Local law enforcement officials are warning citizens of a male subject who stopped a car posing as police last Wednesday.
A female was stopped Wednesday on Ky. 44 East at Stevens Lane by a white male with a blue light on his dash, according to a Nixle alert. (Nixle is a free online service used by the Taylorsville Police Department to inform community members of valuable information via text messages and emails.)
The impostor looked at the woman's license, and as another car approached, he threw her license at her and fled back to his car, the alert said.
The unemployment rate in Spencer County fell 1.2 percent between December 2010 and December 2011, but increased 0.2 percent from November to December last year.
Spencer's unemployment rate for December 2011 was 8.1 percent, meaning it was 9.3 percent in December 2010 and 7.9 percent in November 2011.
With an estimated 9,379 possible members of the civilian labor force, 8,617 were employed and 762 were unemployed.
Someone has been calling residents of Spencer County claiming to be with H&R Block and asking for personal information.
"It is not H&R Block," said a Nixle alert from the Taylorsville Police Department. "It's a scam."
The police department issued the alert last week after the local H&R Block got a number of calls about the scam from citizens, said Chief Toby Lewis.
Calls have come from multiple numbers and show up on caller IDs as "H&R Block" or as a blocked call, Lewis said.
With a shrinking student population and rumors of continued significant cuts from state education dollars, the Spencer County Board of Education is already talking about how it plans to weather what is expected to be a turbulent financial 2012-2013 school year.
A Franklin County Circuit Court judge issued a temporary injunction Tuesday afternoon to delay the filing deadline for state legislative candidates through Feb. 7.
That ruling keeps alive state Rep. Kim King's hopes of keeping her seat in the 55th District after a redistricting plan signed into law last week pushed her out.
"I'm very pleased," said King, who represents Spencer County as part of the 55th District.
Seven candidates have tossed their names into the race for Spencer County Clerk.
Five Democrats and two Republicans will be seeking their party's nomination during May's primary election.
The Spencer Magnet reported on Jan. 4 that Democrats Abbigail Nation, Annette King and Barry Hume and Republicans Lynn Hesselbrock (incumbent) and Karen Spencer had filed to run for the office.
Since then, two Democrats — CaSandra Stewart Zabenco and Joy Hall — have also filed to run.

Tapping a set list that pulled heavily from their soon-to-be-released album Multi-Love, Unknown Mortal Orchestra infused WOW Hall on Thursday, May 7, with a bright, buzzy sound that threaded their trademark psychedelia through sonic realms of bass-heavy neo-Motown and '80s funk, all of it held together by the superb songwriting and furious guitar chops of frontman Ruban Nielson. Held deep in the groove by bassist Jake Portrait, drummer Riley Geare and newest member Quincy McCrary on keys, Nielson feathered his smooth croon into songs that, by turns, channeled the pop revivalism of Prince ("Multi-Love"), the plunky Hammond groove of Stevie Wonder ("Like Acid Rain") and even the angular upbeats and tidal choruses of mid-career Talking Heads ("Necessary Evil"). The whole effect was a beaty, big and bouncy stew of smart, sophisticated music you can dance to, or dance music that is sophisticated and smart. Either way, UMO proved versatile and adaptive, unafraid of pinning a disco undercarriage to the raw, ethereal fuzz of their live sound. This is a talented band on the upswing, and they compel movement.
After their set, we came down to the Weekly's studio and took a few polaroids.

Big Gipp, most known for his work with Atlanta hip-hop collective Goodie Mob, is a godfather of the "Dirty South" rap tradition.
Folks in Eugene who knew he was coming to town were able to watch a living legend on stage at May 3 at WOW Hall. As a young rapper in Atlanta, OutKast featured Gipp on "Git Up, Git Out" on the duo's debut album Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik in 1994. Alongside Gipp as a frontman in Goodie Mob were Cee-Lo (also known as Gnarls Barkley with Danger Mouse) as well as Khujo and T-Mo.
Yet the crowd was small on Sunday night. The intermission DJ after the opening act made the show feel more like an empty frat party with an excessive light show than a gig headlined by a contemporary of Andre 3000 and Big Boi.
But two people entered the dance floor and each performed front flips, and so the night began. Gipp out rocking a black and red suit, white headband and arguably the whitest shoes I've ever seen. He was also wearing grillz, and quickly performed "Grillz" (his radio hit with Nelly about the shiny cosmetic dental apparatuses) to give the crowd some necessary energy early in the night.
Every time the chorus rang "Smile for me daddy" over the speakers, Gipp blessed the crowd with a sparkling smile. He also rapped about the various color grillz he owns, in a verse that included the stanza: "I got four different sets, it's a fabulous thang … one white, one yellow, like Fabolous chain."
All night, Gipp's DJ Prophet scratched vinyls and kept the vibe danceable and fun. "I don't care if it's just two people," said Gipp, a nod at the smaller crowd. "How many people love hip hop?"
At times, however, it was difficult to understand Gipp when he spoke through his grillz — which he kept in his mouth the entire show. But he was easy to hear when he was talking about how all of the "shit happening now, we talked about 20 years ago" before he played the Goodie Mob hit "Cell Therapy" from 1995. He also threw in "Listen up, Eugene, 'cause I'm talking to you" after the second chorus.
Of course, the politically minded Gipp also had his fair share to say about martial law and the current state of Baltimore. His theme focused on police brutality, curfew and marijuana legalization.
When he played "B.O.B." by OutKast later, I counted a total of 30 people (including performers) in the entire venue. The low attendance was a shame, but Gipp handled the tiny crowd with grace.
During the show, Gipp also discussed giving away music for free, collaborations with Bruno Mars and how he can play venues in front of tens of thousands of people but enjoys "checking in" with the smaller crowds. After complaining about how Cee-Lo didn't believe in the power of Goodie Mob anymore, Gipp urged the crowd to support emerging hip-hop artists like Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole.
It's tough to perform a small show when you're a rapper, because you can't do a stripped down acoustic set like a rock 'n' roll band might. But when he was hanging around after the show, one fan told Gipp how important his show was to her and her boyfriend. She used to only listen to rock, but when her boyfriend showed her Goodie Mob, she said she became a bigger fan than he was.
The venue played him out to OutKast's "SpottieOttieDopaliscious," and the night ended without an encore. It was cool to see Gipp perform, though he might need a bigger crowd next time to convince him to come back.
A new resale clothing store is headed to Eugene: Plato's Closet. The store will share the former Blockbuster space at 1711 Willamette with Oregon Medical.
"We split it into two," Plato's Closet owner Ken Livingston says of the space. "I think it's going to be a great location, near the college and South Eugene High. The local demographic there should be pretty good for it."
Plato's Closet, a resale franchise for "tweens" and twentysomethings, is headquartered in Minneapolis. Its parent company is the Winmark Corporation, who also owns Play It Again Sports and Music Go Round.
Livingston says the store is set to open "to buy" — i.e. for Plato's Closet to purchase clothes people bring in and build up inventory — June 8.
"After we buy up enough inventory, we project to have our grand opening — buy and sell — in late July," Livingston says. He says that the store is hiring and will be conducting interviews this weekend.
The Plato's Closet Eugene Facebook page states:
"Folks in Eugene are known for their environmental awareness. In fact, Eugene is recognized as one of the greenest cities in America -- where recycling is a way of life. And very soon, Eugenians will not only be recycling bottles and cans.
Plato's Closet® is all about being fashion savvy and shopping smart. The unique retail recycling store specializes in gently used clothes for teens and twenty somethings — buying and selling the latest looks in clothing and accessories from the hottest brand name designers. Plato's Closet® Eugene will be opening soon at 18th and Willamette -- and here will be the place to recycle your style. Your store, your style, your Plato's Closet®!"

More horses affected, one with the "'neurotropic' form of the virus that is far more likely to cause serious, sometimes permanent neurological damage," according to OSU. See the update at the end of this post.
According to the Oregon Department of Agriculture and Oregon State University's Lois Bates Acheson Veterinary Teaching Hospital, a horse in Marion County has been diagnosed with the neurologic form of EHV-1, equine herpes virus, "a naturally occurring virus that can cause serious illness in horses when activated."
Thus far there is no indication the virus has spread. Horses from the same property as the sick horse traveled to an event at the Oregon Horse Center in Eugene and OSU recommends horses that attended the event have their temperatures monitored. According to the Oregon Department of Agriculture press release:
One Marion county horse has been hospitalized after testing positive for the neurological form of Equine Herpes Virus (EHV-1). The horse, which has been treated at Oregon State University's College of Veterinary Medicine's Large Animal Hospital, began showing acute neurologic signs on April 28 and was immediately referred to OSU. The positive EHV-1 diagnosis was made April 29. All horses at the Marion County property have been quarantined.
The Oregon Department of Agriculture reports there is no indication at this time that the virus has spread to other horses beyond those being quarantined. Preliminary epidemiological investigations are underway. In all, there are 20 horses at the Marion County stable. The stable owner and all horse owners have been very cooperative and supportive of the disease control actions taken.
The investigation shows that horses from the affected property have attended recent events held at the Linn County Fairgrounds in Albany on April 16-19, and the Oregon Horse Center in Eugene on April 25-26. While the risk to these horses appears to be low at this time, concerned horse owners are advised to contact their veterinarian.
The OSU vet hospital also issued a press release on the issue with facts on EHV-1. OSU says that this is not the mutated form of the virus but it can still have "serious consequences." OSU suggests checking out the American Association of Equine Practitioners for more information.
No other horses that attended these events have shown clinical signs of EHV-1. Owners of horses that attended these events are encouraged to monitor their horses for any signs of respiratory or neurologic disease. EHV-1 is not transmissible to people.
"This is not the neurotropic or mutated form of the virus, which can really cause problems," said John Schlipf, a large animal internal medicine specialist with the OSU College of Veterinary Medicine. "This form of EHV-1 can still have serious consequences."
Schlipf said that clinical signs of the neurologic form of EHV-1 often begin with the hind limbs and include:
Uncoordinated, stumbling movements;
An unusual gait;
A weak tail tone;
Difficulty urinating, and dribbling of urine;
Nasal discharge, frequently accompanied by a fever.
The Oregon Department of Agriculture recommends horses that attended the Albany or Eugene events avoid contact with other horses and have their temperatures monitored twice daily. Temperatures over 101.5 degrees may indicate illness.
Horses with signs listed above should be isolated from other animals, and owners should contact their veterinarians immediately. EHV-1 can also affect alpacas and llamas, Schlipf said.
EHV-1 can cause abortions in animals, thus pregnant mares should not co-mingle with horses returning from those shows.
"Horse owners should be aware that although EHV-1 is not transmissible to humans, people can spread the virus on their hands and clothing if in contact with an infected horse," Schlipf said.
Update from the Oregon Department of Agriculture:
Equine Herpes Virus now detected in four Oregon horses
Four Oregon horses have now tested positive for Equine Herpes Virus (EHV-1) with two of the horses showing neurological symptoms, according to the Oregon Department of Agriculture. It was confirmed last week that a Marion County horse had tested positive for EHV-1 and had developed neurological symptoms. The second horse that developed neurological symptoms resided at a stable in Polk County with about 40 other horses and was taken to the Large Animal Hospital at Oregon State University's College of Veterinary Medicine over the weekend. The Polk County stable has been placed under quarantine and the remaining horses are being monitored by the stable manager and a veterinarian.
In addition to the Polk County stable, two Marion County farms remain under quarantine due to exposure to EHV-1. The infected horses and other horses exposed at the quarantined facilities attended an Oregon High School Equestrian Team (OHSET) meet at the Linn County Fairgrounds on April 16-19. ODA is currently investigating the potential of any additional exposures at this time. In addition, ODA is working to notify owners of horses that have been potentially exposed and has notified Oregon equine veterinarians.
EHV-1 is not transmissible to people. The virus is naturally occurring and widespread in the equine population. It is a common virus and may lie dormant for long periods of time and then re-activate during a period of stress, which can result in clinical disease. EHV-1 can cause respiratory disease, abortions in pregnant mares, neurologic disease, and in severe cases, death. The most common way for EHV-1 to spread is by direct horse-to-horse contact. The virus can also spread through contaminated equipment, clothing, and hands. Symptoms include fever, decreased coordination, nasal discharge, urine dribbling, loss of tail tone, hind limb weakness, leaning against a wall or fence to maintain balance, lethargy, and the inability to rise. While there is no cure, the symptoms of the disease may be treatable.
As a reminder, State Veterinarian Dr. Brad LeaMaster advises horse owners to practice strict biosecurity measures and hygiene if they travel to shows and competitions with their animals. Concerned owners should contact their veterinarian if they have questions.
OSU has also weighed in on the latest cases:
More horses found with Equine Herpes Virus, including most serious form
05/05/2015 CORVALLIS, Ore. – Three more cases have been found in Oregon of horses infected with Equine Herpes Virus 1, or EHV-1, and one animal has the most serious "neurotropic" form of the virus that is far more likely to cause serious, sometimes permanent neurological damage.
An initial case of EHV-1 reported last week, and also being treated in isolation at OSU, only had the more common wild strain of the virus. That horse did show neurologic symptoms, although animals with that strain of EHV-1 more often have a disease that causes respiratory infection or abortion in pregnant mares.
Two more cases have been identified of horses with the wild strain, that are not showing signs of neurologic disease, and they are being treated at their home stables in Polk County. Both forms of EHV-1 are highly contagious to horses, but not transmissible to people.
However, a fourth case has been confirmed with the neurotropic form of EHV-1, veterinary experts say, which increases the seriousness of the current outbreak, and makes it increasingly important that horse owners in Oregon practice strong biosecurity management of their animals.
"About 80 percent of the horses who develop neurologic problems from EHV-1 have the neurotropic form of the virus," said John Schlipf, a large animal internal medicine specialist with the OSU College of Veterinary Medicine. "It's a significantly more serious concern. The disease can be fatal, or it can cause lasting neurologic damage that leaves the animal with a permanently reduced level of function."
The most recent case was brought to OSU's Lois Bates Acheson Veterinary Teaching Hospital from the Salem area. Both cases are being treated in isolation, and all OSU veterinary teaching hospital facilities are open for business as usual.
The initial case last week was in a horse housed in Marion County that had recently attended events at the Linn County Fairgrounds in Albany on April 16-19. Prior to the development of clinical signs in the initial case and institution of the quarantine, horses housed with the initial case had attended an event at the Oregon Horse Center in Eugene on April 25-26. The newest case was not at the Linn County event, Schlipf said, but had been in contact with other horses that attended.
Since there's a 10-14 day incubation period for this virus, Schlipf said, it is possible that more horses will be found to be infected. Owners of horses that may be at risk are encouraged to monitor their animals closely for a fever and any signs of respiratory or neurologic disease.
More information about the virus and biosecurity recommendations is available online at http://bit.ly/1GNttiS
Early clinical signs of the neurologic form of EHV-1 often begin with the hind limbs and include: Uncoordinated, stumbling movements; An unusual gait; A weak tail tone; Difficulty urinating, and dribbling of urine; Nasal discharge, frequently accompanied by a fever.
The Oregon Department of Agriculture recommends that horses that attended the Albany or Eugene events avoid contact with other horses and have their temperatures monitored twice daily. Temperatures over 101.5 degrees may indicate illness.
Horses with these signs should be isolated from other animals, and owners should contact their veterinarians immediately. EHV-1 can also affect alpacas and llamas, Schlipf said. "We must reiterate the need for horse owners to practice biosecurity,"
Schlipf said. "People handling horses should wash their hands and clothing to reduce spread of a virus. Animals should not share tack, and horses that have traveled or mingled with other animals should be segregated. "All of these steps can help, and are especially important right now. It may be a while yet before we are out of the woods with this outbreak."

Below is a press release from Honor the Treaty of 1864 delving into the complex issues of salmon, land, water and the Klamath Tribe.
Klamath People, Destructive KBRA Politics and the Spiritual Battle for Water
April 30th, 2015 (Upper Klamath Basin, Oregon)
The Klamath Basin riddled with complex water issues, has yet another aspect few are aware of.
The Klamath people, their culture and spirituality are at high risk, with politics taking priority over individual tribal members inherent rights and the rights of resources and species that are integral to their Indigenous lifestyle.
In an article written by Andrea Smith in April 2013, she offers us insight into varying perspectives on the definition of sovereignty.
"Whereas nation-states are governed through domination and coercion, Indigenous sovereignty and nationhood is predicated on interrelatedness and responsibility."
As Sharon Venne explains, "Our spirituality and our responsibilities define our duties. We understand the concept of sovereignty as woven through a fabric that encompasses our spirituality and responsibility.
This is a cyclical view of sovereignty, incorporating it into our traditional philosophy and view of our responsibilities. It differs greatly from the concept of Western sovereignty which is based upon absolute power.
For us absolute power is in the Creator and the natural order of all living things; not only in human beings...
Our sovereignty is related to our connections to the earth and is inherent."
Although a government entity may be tribal, unfortunately does not mean they are advocates for the environment, spirituality or their people.
The controversial Klamath Basin Restoration Agreement (KBRA) and associated documents do not appropriately advocate for resources that are necessary for the survival of Klamath, Modoc, Yahooskin culture and have also proven to be damaging to personal relationships within the tribe.
Many tribal members no longer have contact with family and close friends over divisive and destructive KBRA politics.
Others have been denied tribal employment based solely on their stance regarding the dubious Klamath Basin water agreements.
The Klamath tribal council and "water team", otherwise known as the Klamath Tribes negotiation team (KTNT), claim the KBRA and associated agreements are a reconciliation to help heal old wounds within the Basin.
Contrary to these claims made by elected officials, tribal members are seeing anything but healing.
Water is a necessity for the survival of Klamath culture and spirituality. And as other parties to the agreements needs are met, the Klamath people and their concerns have been continuously neglected.
Last Saturday, April 25th 2015, the Klamath Tribes held a "special" general council meeting that was a closed session in Chiloquin, OR. More than 100 tribal members were in attendance.
According to attendees, not one person stood up and spoke in support of the water agreements. Once again, many tribal members vocalized the desire to withdraw from the KBRA and associated agreements entirely.
The following Tuesday the Herald and News, a publication in Klamath Falls, Oregon, released statements from Chairman Donald Gentry regarding Saturdays meeting that was supposed to remain "confidential".
According to the Herald and News, Chairman Gentry said he is "hopeful discussions and legislation will keep moving forward."
Gentry continues to claim that, "although a replacement parcel for the Mazama Forest hasn't been identified, members have not indicated that the Tribes should pull out of the complex water agreement. To do so, the tribes have to proceed with an agreement termination process, and no such motion was made."
General Council meetings commence at 10 am and frequently do not adjourn until 5 pm or after. By the afternoon, it is not uncommon for the General Council to lose a quorum, which consists of 50 enrolled members of the Klamath Tribes (over the age of 18) or more.
Meeting attendees state that a motion to proceed with an agreement termination process was not made due to a loss of a quorum in the afternoon. The meeting was in a closed session which also limits the actions members can take.
In the wake of the loss of the Mazama Tree Farm land acquisition, draft legislation is now being proposed by Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley to acquire a new parcel in a desperate attempt to keep the Klamath Tribes signed onto the KBRA.
The potential parcels under consideration are currently part of the Fremont-Winema National Forest. Wyden and Merkley are allegedly working to gain the support of Congressman Greg Walden. Without republican backing, new land acquisition and these water agreements cannot proceed.
A conservation organization known as Oregon Wild who represents approximately 15,000 members and supporters of Oregon have been concerned about the environmental impacts of the KBRA. They have advocated for the wildlife refuges that have been neglected by the Bureau of Reclamation and signatory tribes, among other resources that are not properly represented within these agreements.
The wildlife refuges and marshlands, which were once parts of the former Klamath reservation (pre-termination), are gathering areas for basket making materials, as well as home to one of the main traditional food staples of the Klamath people, Wocus.
Bald eagles take refuge in these areas along with migratory birds that also utilize these areas on their seasonal flight routes.
Due to over consumption by the agricultural industry, we are not only witnessing fish kills from artificially low water flows but also bird kills and the rapid spread of diseases amongst various species.
The KBRA secures water primarily for agricultural purposes, meanwhile neglecting other resources that are in desperate need for advocacy.
Though the Klamath Tribes Treaty of 1864 is supposed to protect these other resources, Klamath tribal negotiators have turned a blind eye to resources that are vital to the continuance of Klamath culture and spirituality.
An article published by the Oregonian last Friday stated "Oregon Wild opposes the sale, citing worries about diminished public access and concerns that tribal ownership could result in logging and other industry-related habitat loss."
Oregon Wild Conservation Director Steve Pedery states "There was a tremendous mistake made in the 1950s, but the problem is 60 years have passed and this forest today has value for a tremendous range of things from ecological reasons to economic and recreational ones,"
Though the Klamath Tribes do have a Forest Management plan that was drafted in 2008, when asked how the tribes propose to manage a new parcel of land for economic development the only statements that have been given include logging and constructing a mill.
Statements such as these can be viewed as problematic to individuals who would like to see the environment and resources protected.
As previously stated, just because a government entity is tribal unfortunately does not imply they are environmental advocates or defenders.
In 1996 the Coquille Tribe was given 5,100 acres of former ancestral land. The 5,100 acre Coquille Forest, in Oregon's Coastal Mountain Range, had been Coos Bay BLM land. It was given to the tribe to manage under the same environmental laws as the BLM's public lands. The lands have since been clearcut by the tribe for economic development.
Klamath Tribal chairman Donald Gentry has made recent statements to tribal membership and the public abroad, using divisive language to portray Oregon Wild as "adversarial" to the tribes.
Oregon Wild Executive Director Sean Stevens submitted a letter to Klamath Tribes tribal council on April 22nd, 2015 regarding the proposed land transfer.
Contrary to Gentry's claims, the letter on behalf of Oregon Wild's 15,000 members and supporters, respectfully outlines the various reasons why Oregon Wild cannot support this particular land transfer but still offers alternative options and support.
Their reasons for not supporting the land transfer include loss of public access and recreation, lack of public oversight, removal of environmental safeguards, and desire to maintain America's public lands network.
Stevens continues to state, "while we are deeply concerned about proposals to dispose of Fremont-Winema National Forest lands, Oregon Wild remains supportive of The Klamath Tribes efforts to re-establish a land base, restore fish and wildlife, and develop sustainable economic opportunities.
We believe there are a number of other possibilities that would help advance these goals that should be given priority over the transfer of American public lands out of public ownership."
Alternatives for this particular land transfer include acquisition of private lands, co-operative management, preference in contracting, and a tribal restoration fund.
Stevens concludes by stating, "Oregon Wild recognizes the ugly history of the federal policy of tribal termination, and the role it played in the establishment of some portions of the Fremont-Winema National Forest and Klamath Marsh National Wildlife Refuge.
However, we believe the removal of some or all of the National Forest from America's public lands system would create unnecessary and unproductive conflict. There are better and more attainable ways for The Klamath Tribes to achieve a land base, environmental restoration, and economic self-sufficiency.
Though we have at times been in conflict over the disposal of the Fremont-Winema National Forest, Oregon Wild and The Klamath Tribes have a long history of working together for the betterment of the Klamath Basin's fish and wildlife resources, public lands, and waters.
We stand ready to work with the Tribes again to resolve the land base issue without removing the Fremont-Winema from America's system of public lands."
The full letter is available to view online here.
In an e-blast sent April 28th, 2015 by Klamath Tribes public information and news manager Taylor Tupper-David, Klamath Tribal council and the "water team" endorsed a letter from alleged tribal member David Hill of Portland to representatives of Oregon Wild.
This letter and endorsement has since been posted to the Klamath Tribes website and shared on the Klamath Tribes Official social media page for public view.
Hills letter contains contentious language, that many believe to be counterproductive to healthy relations with others outside and within the tribe.
Hill's letter states, "I see the problem is that Oregon Wild fails to see the huge environmental justice issue here. Are you really willing to join a sordid list of Euro-American transgressions against the original inhabitants of this land? It looks like you are. You are pitching in with "volunteers" who hunted the Indians like animals in the 1800s, with "settlers" who stole their lands, with "government" thugs who continued to steal and sell their land, e.
If you continue with this extremely insensitive stance, you are putting your credibility at great risk. It is unacceptable for the dominant white culture to continue screwing and stealing and standing in the way of tribes, and it is unacceptable that Oregon Wild would join in this long and nauseating, immoral pattern.
To not let them (the tribe) hold and manage these lands sustainably is a great racist act. Please do not be part of it."
The accusatory, inflammatory language found in Hill's letter can be extremely damaging to relationships that could help provide solutions to some of these complex issues. And the fact that this letter is endorsed by the Klamath Tribal council and "water team" is even further disturbing, unprofessional, and unproductive.
"Conservation groups and tribes with the same focus and missions of restoring and protecting lands should not be pit against each other.
This is yet another divisive move in the favor of the US Government to not be accountable for termination era practices that have resulted in loss of our subsistence lands and treaty resources.
Subsequently, these practices have resulted in the destruction of our river ways and ecosystem."
-David M. Ochoa, Klamath Tribal member
Last week a water call was made by the Klamath Tribes. Their call will help habitat in the Sprague, Wood and Sycan rivers and it will briefly raise the Upper Klamath Lake level before the Klamath Irrigation District diverts it at the A canal.
To the extent suckers are up in the tributaries, the call may help them.
However, the call will not help salmon or the wildlife refuges.
Ironically, the Klamath Tribes will be participating in a 260 mile run for the salmon that will conclude in Chiloquin on June 1st.
In the fall of 2002, 68,000 salmon died from artificially low water levels in the Klamath River.
In response to the devastating Klamath fish kill, to raise awareness of the plight of the salmon and promote health within their community, youth of Hoopa Valley and the Yurok Tribe at Hoopa Valley High School began the Great Salmon Run of the Klamath and Trinity Rivers on May 27th 2005. The original run began at the mouth of the Klamath River and ended at the south fork of the Trinity.
The run is completed in two mile segments. Each person who participates contributes two miles while carrying a baton in the shape of a salmon.
"The salmon's struggles are our struggles. For that short little run we take on their struggle."
"A lot of people may have read newspapers or may have seen the pictures.
That speaks for itself, but in the same sense you need to know the facts behind that.
You need to know what caused it so that it can be prevented."
-Erika Chase, Salmon run co-founder
From the beginning, participants have acknowledged spiritual practices and places alongside the activity of running. For instance, at the conclusion of the run, a salmon is ceremonially cooked and then eaten by designated persons.
Remembering former First Salmon ceremonies, eaters commit to not eating salmon for a year as medicine for the continuance of the salmon.
Statements made by Chairman Gentry regarding the state of the Klamath salmon claim that having the salmon gone has hurt the tribes economically because they have to buy salmon instead of fish for it.
However, the Klamath Tribes are actually struggling economically due to financial mismanagement within the tribal government.
Though Klamath people have not seen salmon in the Upper Klamath Basin in almost 100 years, the people continue to barter with tribes down river to maintain a connection to salmon in the basin. This also helps strengthen relationships between tribal communities along the river, as it has historically always been.
Unfortunately, the Klamath Tribes involvement in this years salmon run is merely for political advocacy. Tribal elected officials have been manipulating the original spiritual intention of the salmon run to gain support for Senate Bill 133, the KBRA, and associated documents.
It is disconcerting to witness the commercialization of a spiritual ceremony for political purposes.
"As a co-founder of the Salmon Run, I am for dam removal and against the KBRA.
I would feel bad if someone felt they couldn't participate because of any particular runner or coordinator's stance on the KBRA.
The run was founded by youth of different tribes in response to the fish kill in 2002 before the KBRA, and has also always supported non-Indian participation as well."
-Kayla Carpenter, Salmon run co-founder and Hoopa Valley tribal member
The KBRA does nothing to heal historical and spiritual damages for Klamath, Modoc, Yahooskin people. By securing water primarily for agricultural purposes, the KBRA and associated documents perpetuate these damages and continue to inflict pain, trauma and division amongst our people.
As we enter into the summer drought season, there are many issues that defenders of our sacred water must prepare for and endure.
These issues are political, but most importantly spiritual.
The fight to defend our sacred water, our life source, is above all else a spiritual battle.
Outside forces will try to divide us, discourage us, and break our spirits.
But as tribal members and descendants of the Klamath Tribes, we refuse to tolerate, support or indulge in divisive language, behavior and actions.
The fate of our sacred water is in our hands.
Without our sacred water, we cease to be a people.
Honor The Treaty of 1864 is a group of like minded individuals who want to honor our ancestors and our 7th generation by protecting our resources and our rights. While these ideas are not new and many people before us stood for the same things we do, our group was officially formed in 2014. We welcome all people who support our cause.
We have some great locally grown food here in the Willamette valley. Paired with some top notch innovative chefs and a thriving fermentation culture it an exciting time to be a food lover in Eugene. Here is a look at a fantastic dinner that took place Monday at Party Downtown with wonderful German and Belgian beer chosen by Beer Steward and friendly Bier Stein bottle librarian Aaron Brussat.
As concerned Eugeneans are rushing to try to help the people of Nepal, it's hard to know what to do. Donating money is usually a sure bet, but how do you know what's a scam? The Better Business Bureau has sent out a list of what to look for (see below) and Charity Navigator does a nice job helping people to evaluate charities.
Here in Eugene, one of our sister cities is Kathmandu and the the city of Eugene website was directing people to local organization Kathmandue Relief. However, there has been some confusion about the organization and the state of Oregon has asked the city take down the link because the organization's 501c3 status that makes donations tax deductible was not current.
Dennis Ramsey of Kathmandu Relief has responded to this and says the confusion is the result of an error he is in the process of rectifying.
Here is the email from the Oregon DOJ to the complaintant:
Just wanted to let you know that we have been in touch with the City of Eugene; they have officially disassociated with Mr. Ramsey's fundraising efforts and removed the link to his website. We informed the city that Mr. Ramsey was using the EIN associated with an inactive nonprofit organization which currently does not hold 501(c)(3) status, under the name of an organization that closed in 1995.
We have contacted Mr. Ramsey and asked him to inform any donors to date that their donations are not tax-deductible. He hasn't responded to us yet but I anticipate that will happen in short order. I also expect changes to the website are forthcoming, but that remains to be seen.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Do you have any questions for me?
Kate Medema
Public Affairs Coordinator Charitable Activities Section
Oregon Department of Justice
A lack of 501c3 status means that donations are not tax-deductible; it does not mean an organization cannot fundraise.
EW contacted Kathmandu Relief for clarification of its status and the status of donations and Ramsey responded:
Yes there was some confusion in our haste to get the site up and running so that we could provide immediate relief to Kathmandu. I was contacted, finally, by the Oregon DoJ today by email. It seems they have been talking to others but not me, and this could have been resolved in short order if they had simply done so. I've pasted below the email reply I sent to the DoJ just a few minutes ago.
We are trying to do good for the people of Kathmandu. This isn't any sort of scam or dishonest effort. I made the mistake of assuming that the Eugene Sister City Foundation (ESCF) had received their IRS determination letter for reinstatement of their 501c3 status, which had lapsed. All four of Eugene's Sister City orgs have been assisting Ki-Won Rhew, former President of the Chinju Committee, to deal with the mountain of paperwork. Since it has been about two years since we filed this process, I had wrongly assumed he had received the determination letter that would allow us to again use the ESCF EIN# in our fundraising efforts. It was a simple mistake, but has potentially serious consequences if not corrected. As you will see, I've corrected the mistake. We have a scheduled quarterly meeting of the Chairs of all four of Eugene's Sister Cities this Thursday. We meet regularly to try to build the umbrella org, ESCF, into a functional organization that can advance the causes of all of our sister city relationships.
Tips from the Better Busines Bureau:
WA Officials Team Up to Warn Consumers on Donating Wisely
Lake Oswego, Ore. — April 27, 2015 — As the death toll climbs in Nepal following the massive earthquake over the weekend, Better Business Bureau along with Secretary of State Kim Wyman and Attorney General Bob Ferguson are urging Washingtonians to be on guard for charity scams targeting donors.
"Anytime there's a natural disaster, scammers will try to take advantage of people's generosity," said Tyler Andrew, CEO of Better Business Bureau serving Alaska, Oregon and Western Washington. "When donating to charities, go with ones that are experienced at working with disaster victims."
"Whenever tragedy occurs, whether it's the earthquake in Nepal or last year's landslide in Oso, many people instinctively want to help the victims," Wyman said. "In times like these, there always seems to be rip-off artists who try to take advantage of others' generosity. If people want to help the victims in Nepal, they should donate to charities they know and trust. Nobody wants to see this tragedy resulting in donations winding up in a scam artist's pocket."
"All of us in Washington and around the country have deep sympathy for the victims and their loved ones at this tragic time," Ferguson said. "As you look to provide assistance to help those in need, be sure to exercise caution so your hard-earned dollars go to trusted charities, not to scam-artists."
Consumer protection officials warn of fake charities that may look and sound legitimate online or even hijack the names of well-known organizations. Scammers will often pose as official charity agents and call potential donors, pressuring them to make a donation over the phone.
BBB, the Secretary of State and the Attorney General's Office sympathize with the victims and their loved ones of the Nepal earthquake. All three organizations urge donors to give wisely.
- Steer clear of high-pressure demands. Take time to research charities and avoid emotional appeals that don't explain how the charity will help victims. Contact potential charities directly.
- Use trustworthy charities. Be sure the charity is equipped and has the resources necessary to help with disaster relief. Review whether a charity meets all 20 standards of accountability at Give.org, a website run by the Council of Better Business Bureaus. Also visit the Secretary State's Information for Donors page.
- Avoid cash donations. Write checks or pay by credit card to charities directly. Scammers will try to convince their victims to wire money or use prepaid debit cards to make a donations. Never give personal information or money to a telephone or email solicitor.
- Double-check. Watch for "pop-up" charities with unverifiable background and contact information. Unscrupulous organizations may try to trip up donors by using names that sound similar to reputable charities.
- Block social media pleas. Be wary of requests from fake victims or memorial social media accounts. Remember to verify the organization first before giving a penny.
For more tips on giving wisely, check the Secretary of State's website or call 1-800-332-4483. Victims of a charity scam can file a complaint with the Attorney General's Office and report it to BBB.
We're in the midst of a giant opt-out movement across Eugene School District 4J's four high schools. It's a time when publicity for 4J is centered on the fact that students are purposefully chosing not to take the state-mandated, Common Core-aligned Smarter Balanced test.
In light of all this attention given to not taking the tests, 4J announced this week that "Smarter Balanced tests waive Oregon college placement exams."
From the website announcement, displayed on 4J's home webpage:
The Oregon Department of Education and the Higher Education Coordinating Commission have announced that Oregon's 7 universities and 17 community colleges, along with other institutes of higher education in California, Washington and three other states, will use Smarter Balanced scores in college course placement.
In adopting these agreements, Oregon's higher education system leaders are signaling that the Smarter Balanced assessments can play an important role in indicating whether high school students have the mathematics, reading and writing skills needed for college success.
In total, nearly 200 colleges and universities so far have determined that students may waive placement testing if they score a 3 or higher on Smarter Balanced state tests and meet requirements for continued academic rigor during 12th grade. The agreements do not affect college admission, only first term placement in college level coursework, since eligible students will be exempt from taking the placement tests.
This is a significant development for Eugene students who plan to attend college on the West Coast, as many colleges in Oregon as well as Washington and California now will accept Smarter Balanced test scores in lieu of additional placement tests. It means that students who complete the Smarter Balanced assessments and score a 3 or higher can save themselves both money and time in their college careers. Students who don't meet standards on placement tests must take remedial courses at their own expense and without credit toward their college degrees.
But will Oregon's colleges and universities actually accept Smarter Balanced scores as equal to college placement exams? Looking at the Oregon Department of Education's website, things are a little less certain:
In support of our state's implementation of high academic standards and corresponding assessments, Oregon community colleges and universities recently adopted preliminary statewide policies uniting Smarter Balanced test scores with placement in higher education. Now, the grade 11 Smarter Balanced assessment is a means for students to demonstrate their content readiness for entry-level college courses in mathematics and writing.
For at least the next two years, Oregon's 17 community colleges and 7 universities may choose to waive additional placement testing for entering students if they score a 3 or higher on Smarter Balanced tests and meet requirements for continued academic rigor during grade 12. Access The Higher Education Coordinating Commission's (HECC) news announcement for more detailed information specific to Smarter Balanced placement policies in Oregon community colleges and universities.
ODE's website says that "Oregon's 17 community colleges and 7 universities may choose to waive additional placement testing for entering students" whereas 4J's announcement says the colleges and universities "will use Smarter Balanced scores in college course placement."
Jerry Rosiek, a UO professor of education, pointed this out in an email to EW adding that Smarter Balanced doesn't count for advanced placement in college courses, like AP and IB courses, where high school students earn credits toward college. Many universities, including the UO, Rosiek points out, offer free placement exams, and universities also use the SAT or ACT to determine whether students need remedial coursework. Most colleges and universities require applicants to take the SAT or ACT.
"Since 70 percent of students are expected to fail the SBAC, it is unlikely to be that helpful to those wishing to test out of remedial courses in college," Rosiek writes.
"In fact, if low scores are reported to a college, a student might be more likely to be placed in remedial course. Given all this, it is misleading to advertise that this policy means the SBAC provides added value to a college-bound student. Any student going to college will have multiple other means to place out of remedial courses, none of which will have 70 percent fail rates."

They are spreading
Their Masks from faces
Start counting of
Food boxes and money cases
Hard time is still there
Soulless body and broken care
They are believers of god
Fixed fighters of road
Rich people said they are hideous
Forget mistakes of sin done previous
Again the busy road
One more dead body
Scarlet women laughing with god
And angels forget their duties
But for others friends
Next day start as new
Smile again and tears few
Jogger continue practicing
Jinxs with fancy clothing
Hopes are still alive
This time rain don't left us dry

Samsung Galaxy S3 not charging
Similar to others, I have had problems for about a month and a half with my phone charging. At first I though it was a charger problem. I would sometimes get the red X over my battery image and would randomly take forever to charge. I got a brand new charger and it seemed to work great at first but then a 2-3 weeks later the problems have increased and now just in the past two days I can't get it to charge at all now. I've tried other chargers and nothing will work, so I have had to take out my battery and put it in someone else's Samsung Galaxy S3 to charge. I assume it's a problem with the charging port... I have read on these forums that other people are having the same problems. What can I do besides ditch my phone? Is there any other way to save my device?

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3 not charging
If it is indeed a bad charging port, the only thing you could really do other than sending it in for replacement is to buy a spare battery for your phone and just swap them out whenever your phone dies.

Hank, a 60 year-old dipsomaniac in Minnesota, says that right-minded drinking harmonious and a half beers on Antabuse is ample supply in place of him to start instinct effects like headache and nausea. Hank leading got sober at 24 for "a cunning girl who told me I acted kinky when I drank."

I would think about how you use your makeup. What drives you to pick item A over item B? Do you remember things by brand, color, type? It should be organized to make it easier for you to find what you're looking for to use.

Clear containers and/or baskets are essential. You might not be able to cram as many products into a drawer this way, but you'll be able to see everything at once. Products should not overlap, otherwise you probably won't reach for things hidden on the bottom.
I have three 3 drawer plastic containers which each have a lidded area on top which I purchased at Walmart. And a large Tupperware container for all my eye palettes. Not every glamourous but everything fits under my tiny vanity. Each drawer set has a purpose. The first is all base products like brows, primers, foundations and eyeliners. Another is all eyeshadow singles to quads. The final one is blushes and highlighters. And I have a long thin drawer organizer that holds my 50 or so lipsticks upright. I strive to keep them organized by colour, but mostly rely on memory for what colours I have in what brands.
I like to organize by color because I'm visual. I also suggest inventorying your stash once in a while to stop impulse buying. I inventoried my stash and found enough red lipstick to last me a lifetime, so I've put a no-buy on it unless it's a unique color. I was hitting the pan on my favorite vanilla beige shadow, and was thinking about buying another one, but when I inventoried my stash, I found at least 20 similar colors. It seems like every kit has a vanilla shade or a few light shades that all look "vanilla" on my lids.
My stash is organized in drawers by general classification: skincare/prep, face, eyes, and lips. I also have a drawer for nails. The brushes and tools that go with each category are in their corresponding drawers. That's also the order in which I apply my makeup. I have another drawer for specialty items and a drawer for off season items. I like to keep those separate as I don't reach for them all that often.
I think you made an excellent point, Christine, about knowing how you think about products be it names, numbers, color families, consistency, etc. Some people might naturally think of their blushers in terms of powders, creams, and gels. Another person might think of them in terms of color family or finish. knowing yourself and your habits is key to getting organized and then keeping it up. Oh! And a label maker! I have a so many cases that look identical, but thanks to P-Touch, I can easily pick the one I want without a moment's hesitation 🙂
IKEA Alex drawers. Best for storage ever!!
For lips I organize by color / color family (reds, dark colors, pinks, neutrals, etc.). Everything else is sorted in airtight containers that fit under my sink by areas of the face. Then I have a dedicated drawer in my bathroom vanity to hold items that get used daily. As for brushes, I found a divided vanity organizer at Bed Bath and Beyond that works great; it allows me to also sort my brushes by use / areas of the face.
I have a toolbox. I "borrowed the idea from Tarababyz on youtube, granted hers are way cuter (pink and blue). It's the standard type you'd see in any garage. They have plenty of drawers to organize by product type, i.e. primers, foundation, blushes, highlighter and bronzers, and so on. I organize by order of application and then by brand and color. I store skin care and brushes, q-tips, cotton pads etc. In the flip top. I even had a mirror cut to fit the part that flips up. Greatest investment ever!!! Now I just have to argue with the hubby about why I can have mine inside and he can't! Lol!!!
Mine is organised by product type then brand. It's weird but I when its by brand I know exactly what I'm looking for, when I've tried it by colour I hated it and didn't know where anything was.
What I have done is used the 5 draw Alex units and separated everything with foam board. So all my products are upright and individually separated. It's so nice to look at and I can see everything.
I have a huge fishing tackle box that I bought when i started beauty school back in 2000. It was all I could afford at the time-$30. It hold quite abit. I also have a tall dresser/vanity that has my daily use items(skin care products, flat irons, hair products, vitamins) I keep my brushes in 4 cool glasses(actually re purposed bar glasses). My hair stuff is in one drawer and nail polish/ lotions are in the other. the bottom drawer has my sewing kit, travel bags and beauty samples( if I know I am not going to use them I add them to gifts for friends)

Serves meat, vegan options available. In downtown Austin, with a veggie burger and a vegetarian BBQ plus soy and rice milk option for drinks. Bottled juices. 2015 reported no more veggie hot dog. Open Mon-Sun 7:00am-9:00pm.
Category: Lacto, American, Fast food, Beer/Wine, Take-out, Non-veg
Reviews (3)First Review by esestud
I wouldn't trust this place - Edit
We were hungry and without internet, so we stayed and ate here.
The guy behind the counter had no idea what was vegan, and he told me that the chilli dog was NOT VEGAN after checking with the kitchen....so considering the other reviews, make of that what you will.
They had a philly-style burger thingy which they assured us was vegan, using some faux meat (possibly jackfruit?) which we then agreed to share. I personally didn't actually like it, very tangy and messy (but I think a lot of american food is like that, and so is jackfruit).
But hey, we gave it a go, it was a nice sunny day, we sat out front with a drink and made the most of it.
I personally wouldn't return though due to their lack of knowledge and not trusting it.
Pros: sitting out front in the sun
Cons: confusion over vegan options, limited options
Pretty okay - Edit
I came here with my family of meat-eaters, because it all of us could find something to eat. I got the veggie chili dog; it was pretty good the only thing I didn't like was they put this "cheese" stuff on it and I couldn't, for the life of me, figure out if it was real cheese or vegan, so I didn't eat it,
Pros: Good drinks
Cons: Rude staff, The price
Not much variety for vegans, but filling - Edit
I had the veggie chili dog with avocados and fries, and it stuffed me really well. The burger patty (wheat roast) is not vegan because it has eggs, so either the chili dog or the eggplant sandwhich (supposedly) would be fine. Service was quick and they served a generous portion of fries, so it was quite filling. I would definitely consider eating here again if I happen to stop by in the future.
Pros: Food
Cons: Parking, Price

Anticipation, tension and excitement filled the air at Woodley Stadium in Nairobi on Saturday 29th May. This was the day that the John Packard Family Cup football tournament reached its climax with the final matches being played to decide the winners of each category.
The tournament was launched in March and ran throughout the school holidays in April, giving over 2,000 children and youths a focus for the time they were out of school. Partnership with CARE Kenya meant that the children were also given some health education and mentoring while they weren't on the pitch. Over 450 matches were played throughout the tournament in which 119 teams competed.
On finals day there were 5 key matches, 3 of which went to the wire with penalty shoot-outs being played to determine the winning team. The results were as follows:
Under 10s Mixed SHOFCO Juniors 1 – 0 Little Rocks Under 12 Boys Sprinting Juniors 0 – 0 Catalans (Sprinting Juniors won 3-2 on penalties) Under 14 Boys SHOFCO 1 – 1 Gladiators (Gladiators won 7-6 on penalties) Under 15 Girls Christ Ambassadors 1 – 1 CFK (Christ Ambassadors won 3-2 on penalties) Under 16 Boys Young Super Talents 2 – 0 Sadili
As the penalties were taken and winners celebrated, the sound of the vuvuzela could be heard around the stadium, adding to the occasion and to the World Cup fever which is starting to spread throughout Kenya and the continent.
The theme for the tournament was "Education and Sports", reinforcing the work that Kibera Mpira Mtaani is doing to improve the education of children in the local community. The video featured here shows some of these children explaining why education is important to them. Please take a few minutes to watch this and see the great work that Kibera Mpira Mtaani is doing in this area. This message was made loud and clear by MC GG Spice who kept the crowd amused and informed at the finals event and praised Kibera Mpira Mtaani and Vision Africa for the work they have been doing in Kibera.
Also present at the event were journalists from the local radio station PamojaFM. This station has been very supportive of Kibera Mpira Mtaani and decided to interview the coach of the winning Under 16s team, Young Super Talents, live on air after the match. One of the journalists was also invited to present the awards for the Under 16s category.
Now that the tournament has drawn to a close....it's time to prepare for the next one which is scheduled to take place in August. As World Cup fever grips, please take the opportunity to support a project which is combing education and soccer to help young children in Kenya.

IAG Cargo posted revenues of 1.02 billion euros for 2016, a 6.6 percent drop from 2015.
The Georgia Ports Authority handled 3 million tons of cargo in January, with bulk cargo at the Port of Brunswick more than doubling January 2016 figures.
The Agriculture Transportation Coalition, National Industrial Transportation League and National Retail Federation expressed concerns over a threatened work stoppage at East and Gulf Coast ports by members of the International Longshoremen's Association.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
Although some shippers are hesitant on using foreign trade zones (FTZs) due to compliance burdens, the benefits of FTZs may be worth the effort.
The Floridian port is ready to launch a second round of investment - this time with the goal of increasing capacity and service levels within the container yard.
The United States Maritime Alliance, the employer group that negotiates the master contract with the International Longshoremen's Association, called the ILA's planned work stoppage threat "disturbing."

UPS Capital Expands Insurance Offerings In Germany
Neuss, April 10, 2014
Cargo and credit insurance are now part of the solutions designed to protect international commerce
UPS Capital Corporation, a subsidiary of UPS, (NYSE:UPS) today announced the expansion of its business insurance offerings in Germany. UPS Capital Versicherungsmakler GmbH, a UPS Capital affiliate, is adding two new insurance solutions, trade credit insurance and cargo insurance, to its growing list of services which are designed to help promote and protect international commerce for UPS customers.
"Our goal is to help German companies, regardless of size, grow their businesses and expand their global trade opportunities," said Bob Bernabucci, president of UPS Capital. "Trade credit insurance and cargo insurance are two great ways to achieve this goal. It gives our customers the confidence of knowing that the world's largest package delivery company and a leading global provider of specialized transportation and logistics services is working with them to help protect their supply chains."
While these insurance products are available from other providers, they are rarely offered through brokers who are as experienced in logistics and possess the understanding of mitigating risks within the supply chain as UPS Capital's professionals.
The cargo insurance program is designed to be broader and more comprehensive than programs offered by other providers and complements UPS's worldwide logistics capabilities, which include freight, freight forwarding, customs brokerage, distribution, and small package shipments. It includes worldwide multimodal (land, ocean or air) coverage on any transportation carrier; customized programs covering shipping risk, warehouse risk and contingency coverage to protect customers' financial interests in the goods; and faster claims resolution.
While cargo insurance helps protect customers' goods in transit, trade credit insurance helps provide protection against bad-debt losses in the event customers are slow to pay, default on payments, or become insolvent.
Protected by trade credit insurance, companies are more likely to expand into new markets, offer open account terms to their customers, and consider minimizing cash reserves. The proprietary credit management information also helps companies make better customer credit decisions. In addition, lenders often view insured receivables as safer collateral and may provide better financing to companies protected by trade credit insurance.
UPS Capital Corporation provides insurance solutions, trade finance and other products designed to support customers' supply chains. It has offices in North America, Europe, Asia, and Latin America. For more information, visit www.upscapital.com.

FLOWERY BRANCH -- It doesn't look like rookie Robert Alford will return punts for the Atlanta Falcons this Sunday in Arizona.
Alford, who fumbled his only chance at a return this past week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, admitted he held the ball too loose on the play. The turnover didn't sit well with head coach Mike Smith or special-teams coordinator Keith Armstrong.
"Well, obviously we've got a couple of other guys we're going to look at," Armstrong said Tuesday. "We'll make a decision during the course of this week as to who we're going to go with. So, thank God we have some options."
Alford took over as the primary punt returner after Harry Douglas became the No. 1 wide receiver. Douglas moved into that role after Julio Jones suffered a season-ending foot fracture and Roddy White missed a game due to hamstring and ankle injuries.
Douglas fumbled a punt himself earlier in the season but sounded like he never wanted to be relieved of his duties in the first place. The Falcons likely would be better off keeping him from returning punts for now in order to preserve his health.
When asked if Dominique Franks, who was primary punt returner last season, would be an option, Armstrong remained secretive.
"We'll see," he said.
The Falcons need a spark in the return game. Through six contests, they are tied for 29th in the NFL in punt returns.
