Death Of The Proposed Wailuku Parking Garage And Life For The Na Wai Eha Stream Flows
by Anthony Pignataro

It's been on, then off, then back on again and now it seems it's off again, though it may come back on... again... sometime... maybe. It's the proposed Wailuku Municipal Parking Structure, people, and though county planners were touting it as a done-deal barely a year ago, that project is now deader than former South Maui state Representative Joe Bertram's political career.
Seriously, they've been planning this thing for years, which was supposed to replace the current 210-space Wailuku Municipal Parking Lot with a 426-space parking garage. In fact, the county has already spent about $1.2 million of federal money on designs (of course, with the federal debt running at close to $16 trillion, $1.2 million is couch change). And now it's no more.
"There are no funds available for construction right now, and I don't see in the foreseeable future that coming through," Maui County Public Works Director David Goode (who used to be a land developer and Public Works Director under previous administrations) said in the Aug. 18 Maui News.
For those of us who haven't successfully incorporated public transportation into our lives, the parking lot is a sad fact of life. Originally built on land the County of Maui seized through eminent domain, the current Wailuku lot fills up every weekday before 8am with cars mostly belonging to county employees (MauiTime rents office space in a building that borders the parking lot). During most days, Maui Police Officer Keith Taguma rumbles through the lot on his new Harley-Davidson Motor Trike, chalking tires and writing tickets that impose greater fines than those incurred by parking more than two hours on nearby streets.

Seriously, think about that last paragraph a moment. A County of Maui police officer gives out an insane number of parking tickets every day to County of Maui employees who work for and with the people trying to develop a larger parking garage in Wailuku. And this has gone on, without interruption, for years.
"[W]hoever has control over that lot has the moral obligation to do what's best for the public's interest," then-Maui Redevelopment Agency (MRA) Vice Chairman Lloyd Poelman said six years ago, at a June 21, 2006 MRA hearing onyou guessed it!proposals to develop the Wailuku lot into a parking garage.
And I didn't even mention the insanity of building a parking garage on the site of the only really accessible parking lot in town. Where the people who currently use the park were supposed to park during the year and a half of construction (assuming all goes well) was the biggest unanswered question at every planning hearing on the thing.
So... yeah. And that would normally be the end of the story, except County Communications Director Rod Antone says the parking garage may come back as part of a new start-up incubator for the tech crowd that likes to windsurf and play on Maui.
"We're hoping Wailuku will be a place where they can work," Antone told me. "We're trying to get federal money for an incubator/garage. We want this to be more than a parking garage."
This week's cover story deals with the Hawaii Supreme Court from a generation ago, and the brave, often lonely fight for justice waged by the late Justice Edward Nakamura, so it was quite nice to read late last week that the current justices still seem committed to protecting those of us who don't happen to run major agricultural conglomerates. Or at least, they were on Aug. 15 when they unanimously ruled that the state Commission on Water Resource Management hadn't done a very good job of management back in 2010.
The issue then, and now, dealt with how much water from the four Na Wai 'Eha streams'Iao, Waiehu, Waihe'e and Waikapugoes to the sugar giants Wailuku Water Co. and Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar (HC&S) and how much goes to small families, taro farmers or just stays in the stream and flows all the way to the ocean. In 2010, the commission ruled that only a third of the stream water would be restored, which basically gave Wailuku Water and HC&S what they wanted and shanked the individuals and families whose reliance on that water predates the grand-scale cultivation of sugar in Hawaii.
"The court found that the water commission's June 2010 decision to restore little or none of the stream flows currently diverted by two private companies was lacking on every key point," said an Aug. 16 press release from Isaac Moriwake of Earthjustice, John Duey of Hui o Na Wai 'Eha and Irene Bowie of Maui Tomorrow. "The court ruled the commission failed to give proper consideration to Native Hawaiians' and the public's rights to flowing streams. The court also ruled the commission needed to further pursue available alternatives to draining the streams such as using non-potable wells and recycled wastewater and eliminating waste."
Of course, this is one of those process victories that merely sets up a new fight. Now, as the Aug. 19 Maui News reported, the commission will have to go back to come up with a new stream diversion plan, but it may not break in Earthjustice, et al's favor. "The amount of water returned to the streams could be higher or even lower, but either way, [new commission member Jonathan] Starr said that people with appurtenant water rights will have first dibs." And that includes people with "traditional land practice claims dating back to the monarchy days."
When all this shakes out is impossible to say. Still, the court decision has plaintiffs nearly giddy with anticipation.
"When I look at 'Iao and Waikapu Streams, they're bone-dry, nothing but skeletal remains," said Rose Marie Ho'oululahui Lindsey Duey of Hui o Na Wai 'Eha in the Aug. 16 press release. "The supreme court's decision restores my hope that the law stands for something, and that each of Na Wai 'Eha's four streams will flow like justice from mauka [mountain] to makai [ocean]."

Hello, I was curious about what the connection between the Na Wai Eha Streams and the proposed/shut down parking structure is?
The two articles were put together... do they have a correlation?

It happens to all of us: You stop at the store and forget the one thing you went for. You blank on your co-worker's husband's name - Is it John? Jim? And where are those darn keys?!? It's normal to be forgetful once in awhile, especially if you've got a lot on your plate.
But even if you're years away from worrying about senior moments, research shows that memory loss can actually begin as early as your 20s, and it continues as you age. Thankfully, taking these easy steps from our friends at Health.com throughout your day can help you stay sharp - and maybe even help you remember where you put those keys...

A Bronx teacher fired after a student complained about her use of a racial slur says the whole thing is just a ridiculous case of meaning lost -- literally -- in translation.
Petrona Smith, 65, was a non-tenured teacher at the bilingual school PS 211 until March 2012, when she was fired after a student complained of being called "negro" and "a failure."
But Smith, who is black and a native of the West Indies, said the student misunderstood her meaning: she was using the word "negro," the word for the color black in Spanish, not an outmoded reference to an person of African descent.
In court papers, Smith said she was teaching students how to say different colors, and even explained that the a black person in Spanish is called "moreno," not "negro." She also said she asked students who had failed a test to move to the back of the class, but had never called them failures.
Smith detailed the abuse she claims she often suffered at the hands of her students, who, according to her claims filed in court, called her "f***ing monkey," "cockroach" and "n****r." Smith said she had always risen above their insults.
The investigation leading to her termination relied on the word of four 7th-grade students, even though one of the student's parents admitted he had lied.
Smith, who has been unable to to find work since she was fired, has sued for wrongful termination. The school district has so far refused to comment on the case.
A magnitude 8.2 earthquake rocked Russia's Far East Friday, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The quake's epicenter was located in the Sea of Okhotsk, just west of the Kamchatka Peninsula. According to CNN the region is in the Pacific Ring of Fire," an area of high volcanic and seismic activity that stretches from New Zealand to South America.
The tremor lasted for five minutes and many people ran into the streets are the city trembled. No tsunami warnings have been issued thus far.
Michael Clarke Duncan died in September 2012, nearly two months after having a heart attack, according to the NY Daily News.
Duncan, known for his Academy Award and Golden Globe-nominated role in "The Green Mile," was 54 when he died. Doctors said he never fully recovered from the heart attack.
A family friend was taking flowers to Duncan's grave when she came upon his headstone, which was spray-painted with racist graffiti.
Police are now investigating the vandalism as a hate crime, according to the Chicago Defender.
A picture of a cartoon black face was attached to the center of his headstone -- an offensive black stereotype known as a Sambo figure.
The family notified the cemetery, which removed the figure immediately. The Los Angeles Police Department determined that the defacement could be considered a hate crime and has begun an investigation.
In an on-air interview with a Seattle Fox station, it appeared that actor Morgan Freeman fell asleep.
But Freeman, 75, joked that he wasn't actually asleep -- only updating his Facebook page.
"Regarding my recent interview, I wasn't actually sleeping," he wrote on Facebook. "I'm a beta tester for Google Eyelids and I was merely taking the opportunity to update my Facebook page."
His Facebook fans got a good laugh, and he has gotten nearly 20,000 likes on the post. The station joked about it too, saying that anchor Bill Wixey's voice could have been the cause.
"We all know Bill's voice can lull you into sleep," wrote Brett Cihon, a producer for the show.
Freeman was on the show to promote his new film, "Now You See Me," which releases in theaters May 31.

Leonard Marsh, co-founder of the famous Snapple beverage brand, died Tuesday at the age of 80.
The Canadian Press reports Marsh died at his home in Manhasset, N.Y.
Marsh, a former window washer, launched Snapple (originally Unadulterated Food Products) with his brother-in-law Hyman Golden and his childhood friend Arnold Greenberg in New York in 1972.
The trio changed the name to Snapple in 1980 causing the brand's popularity to suffer as consumers wanted healthier drinking options. Snapple was later purchased by Quaker Oats Co. for $1.7 billion in 1994.
Marsh stayed with the company for a few years as the executive vice-president. He was the last surviving Snapple founder.
Snapple is now owned by The Dr. Pepper Snapple Group Inc. of Plano, Texas.
Brazil will host both Pope Francis and the FIFA World Cup in 2014, and the 2016 Olympic Games will be held in Rio de Janeiro, leading the government to invest in additional security.
The Brazilian government contracted iRobot to provide military iRobot 510 PackBot robots. For $7.2 million, Brazil will get about 30 PackBot 510 units, which usually cost about $100,000 to $200,000 each, along with services, spares, and associated equipment.
Over 5,000 camera-equipped, remote-controlled 510 PackBots have been deployed to Afghanistan, Iraq and Japan's Fukushima nuclear power plant.
The 510 PackBots will be used during construction of the Olympic stadia to clear routes, and to ensure no explosives are planted ahead of the games.
The PackBot base model is weatherproof and can take a six-foot drop, even righting itself if it lands upside-down. It can be equipped with additional gadgets including high-definition cameras and bomb-defusing devices, and any number of sensors for detecting explosives or testing air samples.
Once the events are underway, the robots will presumably aid police and soldiers deployed to maintain security. Brazilian police will be equipped with facial-recognition camera glasses that can reportedly capture 400 facial images per second, according to CNET.
The country is reportedly spending $900 million on drones, helicopters and surveillance equipment ahead of the World Cup in an effort to make it "one of the most protected sports events in history."
Steve Nash is blocking his ex-wife's efforts to move to Los Angeles from Phoenix so he can afford child support, according to documents filed in court by Alejandra Amarilla Nash.
Alejandra Nash said she wants to move to LA so their three kids could be closer to their dad, the same reason the Laker star gave when he turned down playing for the New York Knicks.
According to TMZ, Alejandra Nash said her ex has told her to stay put in Phoenix, since a trade or forced retirement could force the family to move yet again.
But she's not buying his explanation: She thinks he is trying to avoid potential child support obligations imposed by an LA court, unlike the Arizona courts, which haven't forced him to pay anything.
A judge has issued a temporary restraining order, keeping her from moving to LA until their trial, which is scheduled for next week.
David Hasselhoff has just downsized -- last week, the "Baywatch" star bought himself a $1.95 million home, according to TMZ.
The mansion, which is in Calabasas, Calif., spans 5,767 square feet. It boasts five bedrooms, six full baths and has its own basketball court.
Hasselhoff just sold his Encino home for $3.795 million. Hasselhoff bought the home in 1991 -- the height of his fame -- and listed it in November 2012. That home had 8,947 square feet and more than an acre of surrounding land.

Mariah Carey's dress popped open on live television as the singer was getting ready to sing on "Good Morning America" Friday.
While speaking to Lara Spencer about how she's "never up at this hour" the 43-year-old star all of a sudden confessed that "the back of [her] dress just popped."
Carey turned her back to the audience to show them what had happened and proceeded to hold up the front of her dress to prevent any potential "nip slips".
"I love you, Donatella, but it popped, darling," she joked as her aids helped her fix the dress.
The city of Detroit is facing $15 billion in debt, and emergency manager Kevyn Orr is considering whether the collection at Detroit Institute of Arts is a city asset that can be used to pay off city creditors.
The proposition has many people outraged, according to the Detroit Free Press. "There would be hue and cry the likes of which you've never heard," said Ford Bell, president of the American Alliance of Museums in Washington, D.C.
The DIA's masterpieces include some of the world's most famous paintings by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Henri Matisse and Vincent van Gogh. A list of 38 of the museum's greatest treasures, including van Gogh's "Self-Portrait" and Matisse's "The Window," was valued at $2.5 billion.
Bill Nowling, spokesman for Orr, said the city has "no interest in selling art," but said creditors have already inquired about the collection. "These are people savvy enough to know where all the money for the City of Detroit is," he said.
Unlike most major civic museums, the city owns the DIA building and collection, while daily operations and fundraising are handled by a non-profit organization.
DIA Executive Vice President Annmarie Erickson said the museum has hired New York bankruptcy attorney Richard Levin to advise ways to protect the collection. "We are standing by our contention and belief that we hold the collection in trust for the public," Erickson said. "And although to some it may seem to be an asset, we do not."
"We have to look at everything on the table," Nowling said of the controversial liquidation. "I'm a great lover of art and so is Kevyn, we've got a responsibility to rationalize all the assets of the city and find out what the worth is and what the city holds," he said.

Women's soccer standout Tishia Jewell received her Senior CLASS Award during halftime of UCF's men's basketball conference opener against UAB on Wednesday. Jewell, who was joined by her mother Telethia, was recognized by head coach Amanda Cromwell and UCF vice president and director of athletics Todd Stansbury in an on-court presentation.
Jewell became the first Knight and just the second Conference USA student-athlete of any sport to earn the prestigious national award. She bested 10 finalists in November for the honor, which recognizes notable achievements in four areas of excellence - community, classroom, character and competition.
Knights fans added a little something to the presentation with cardboard Tishia Jewell head cutouts floating around the stands.
After four successful years donning her Black and Gold uniform on the soccer field, Jewell's collegiate athletic career may be over, but she continues to represent the Knights as a graduate student pursuing two master's degrees.

League Against Cruel Sports
The neutrality of this article is disputed. (May 2013) |
Founder(s) | Henry B Amos Ernest Bell |
Founded | 1924 |
Headquarters | Godalming, United Kingdom |
Key people | Annette Crosbie, President John Cooper, Chairman |
Focus | Animal welfare |
Website | www.league.org.uk |
The League Against Cruel Sports are an animal welfare organisation that campaigns against all blood sports including bull fighting, fox hunting and hare coursing. It also campaigns to ban the manufacture, sale and use of snares, for the regulation of greyhound racing and for an end to commercial game shooting and trophy hunting.[1] Famous supporters include vegetarian Sir Paul McCartney,[2] Bill Oddie, Uri Geller and Gemma Atkinson.
Scottish actress Annette Crosbie OBE has been the President of the League since 2003.
Contents |
History [edit]
Original charter [edit]
In 1924, the League issued the following charter entitled "What We Stand For":[3][4]
- Our Principle: That it is iniquitous to inflict suffering, either directly or indirectly, upon sentient animals for the purpose of Sport.
- We Condemn: Fox-hunting, otter-hunting, stag-hunting, hare-hunting and rabbit and hare-coursing, because they are organised forms of cruelty for pleasure, and, therefore, prejudicial to the best interests of the State.
- We Support and Recommend: All clean humane forms of Sport, such as football, cricket, golf, running, swimming, scouting, hill-climbing, etc., etc.
- We Specially Recommend: Drag hunting as a substitute to hunting animals and we appeal to Hunts to adopt it. Also "hunting" Big Game with the Camera as Major Dugmore and others do.
- Blooding Children: We protest against the insult offered in hunting circles, not only to the child-life of the nation but to the community in general, by smearing children's cheeks with blood from the brush or pads of a fox or other animal hunted to death, and we demand the cessation of this demoralising custom.
We respectfully invite Religious, Education, Social Welfare, Humanitarian and allied bodies, by passing resolutions towards this end, to co-operate with us to make our demand effective.
Key campaigns [edit]
Hunting [edit]
Despite the passing of the Hunting Act in 2004, there is still a very strong pro-hunt lobby which seeks to have the Hunting Act repealed. The League campaigns vigorously to ensure that the Hunting Act is preserved. The League's 'Keep Cruelty History' campaign [5] was launched in September 2009 and focused on highlighting the position on hunting of local candidates at the following year's general election. The League runs a Hunt Crimewatch [6] service through which members of the public can report any suspicious activity which may be in breach of the Hunting Act. Members of the public call the Hunt Crimewatch line several times a day to report suspicious behaviour.[7] This information is logged and passed on to police where appropriate. The League also coordinates a network of volunteers who monitor and record the activities of hunts in order to help create cases for prosecution.
Snaring [edit]
Snares are thin wire nooses that are set to trap any animal perceived to be a pest or threat. The design of a snare [8] garrotes its victims and often leads to extreme pain and suffering.[9] Commonly used by gamekeepers to catch foxes, rabbits and stoats, many protected mammals such as badgers[10] and otters[11] plus livestock[12] and even domestic pets[13] are either caught, seriously injured or killed in snares. Despite being banned in most countries across Europe, snaring is still legal in the United Kingdom. The League believes that snaring is cruel, indiscriminate, and wholly unnecessary and calls for an end to the manufacture, sale and use of snares in the UK.
Fighting dogs [edit]
Despite being made illegal in Britain in 1835, dogfighting has been gaining ground in some communities in the UK.[14] Dogs are trained to be violent by being starved and beaten. Those that seem weak or fail to show enough aggression are killed.[15] If they do not die of their wounds, losing dogs may be electrocuted, drowned, or hanged.[16] The League campaigns to raise awareness of the prevalence of dog fighting in the UK. In April 2010, the League launched a new telephone line through which members of the public can report suspicious incidents that they think might be related to fighting dogs.[17]
Shooting [edit]
The shooting of game birds for sport involves the killing of millions of birds every year. Over 35 million pheasants and 6.5 million partridges are produced to be used as live targets in the UK each year.[18] These birds are often reared in battery cages, according to the League's website. LACS website also states "the misery doesn't end there - all kinds of wildlife suffer at the hands of the shoot, in the name of predator control."[19][20] The League campaigns for regulation of the shooting industry. It also conducts investigations to highlight what it alleges is the cruelty within the industry and highlights concerns about teaching children to kill.
Bullfighting [edit]
The League Against Cruel Sports seeks a complete end to bullfighting anywhere in the world and lobbies regional and local governments to put an end to bullfighting internationally. The League discourages big businesses from associating with or sponsoring bullfighting[21] and generally raises awareness of the cruelty and suffering involved in bullfighting. The League also promotes the Worldwide Anti-Bullfighting Pledge,[22] in which signatories pledge never to visit a bullfight anywhere in the world.
Racing animals [edit]
The League is not fundamentally opposed to greyhound racing but believes there is a much darker side to this sport. Thousands of greyhounds go missing every year, many put down, others dispatched with a bullet to the head or a brick around the neck.[23] The League campaigns for a number of changes such as; independent regulation of the greyhound racing industry; the set-up of one single regulatory authority tasked with establishing and enforcing welfare rules; and a compulsory levy from bookmakers to fund welfare improvements.[24]
Trophy hunting [edit]
Trophy hunting is the stalking and killing of wild animals for sport. The League says this multi-million pound international industry is causing an irreversible decline in some of the world's most threatened species and campaigns to see it abolished. The League focuses on exposing British travel companies who promote trophy hunting. The League has also conducted numerous investigations into trophy hunting around the world.[25]
Timeline [edit]
- 1923 – The League began in Morden, (now a suburb of London) after Henry Amos raised a protest against rabbit coursing; he was successful in motivating support and managed to achieve a ban. This encouraged him to organise opposition to other forms of blood sports and so, along with Ernest Bell, he established the League for the Prohibition of Cruel Sports. Although many blood sports such as bull, bear and badger baiting and cock fighting had already been outlawed at the time, animal protection laws only applied to domestic and captive animals. With the RSPCA unwilling to take action against hunting, Amos and Bell identified a clear need for an organisation which would campaign against what it classified as cruel sports.
- 1927 – The organisation had 1000 members.[26]
- 1932 – Bell left the organisation due to a difference in tactics. He went on to found the National Society for the Abolition of Cruel Sports (NSACS).
- 1948 – Actress Yvonne Arnaud became the League's President until 1951.[27]
- 1960 – League patron, Sir Patrick Moore, introduced an anti-hunting motion to the RSPCA's AGM but it was defeated.[27]
- 1967 – Reverend Lord Donald Soper became President of the League a position held for 30 years, until his death in 1997.
- 1975 – An anti-hare coursing Bill, supported by the League, passed through the House of Commons, but failed in the House of Lords.
- 1978 – The League helped establish legal protection for otters, which numbers were declining, by making it illegal to kill them.
- 1989 – As part of a "Safe Setts" campaign, the League joined forces with the RSPCA, WWF, RSNC[disambiguation needed] and NFBG to push for further protection for badgers. The previous legislation covered the actual animals, but not the setts, which were said to be still being destroyed.[28]
- 2001 – The Sunday Telegraph reported that one of the League's then press officers had previously been arrested for violent disorder at Hillgrove Farm which bred cats for scientific research. More than 1,000 protesters converged on the farm and many, including this person, fought pitched battles with 400 police, some in riot gear, drafted in from five forces. He had been sentenced to three months imprisonment for his actions.[29] Also in 2001 controversially, Graham Sirl resigned his position with the League, saying that he no longer believed a complete ban on hunting was in the best interests of wildlife. Sirl stated: "I now believe hunting with hounds plays an integral part in the management system of deer on Exmoor and the Quantock Hills."
- 2003 – Actress Annette Crosbie was named President of the League. In a January 10, 2003 interview with David Edwards, Crosbie told the Daily Mirror that she felt the human race to be "the nastiest species of animal on the planet". In the same interview she describes herself as "impatient, intolerant, judgmental, tactless – I'm not very nice, I'm really not. And if you don't do it my way, by God you'll be sorry."[30]
- 2005 – With the commencement of the Hunting Act, fox hunting with dogs became illegal in England and Wales. "We are delighted that 80 years of peaceful, legal campaigning has paid off and that hunters will not be permitted to inflict suffering on wild mammals for their entertainment," a spokesman for the League Against Cruel Sports told BBC News.[31]
- 2006 – A huntsman with the Exmoor Foxhounds, was found guilty of illegal hunting foxes with dogs in a private prosecution taken out by the League. (In 2009, the huntsman's appeal was upheld by the High Court, and the Crown Prosecution Service decided not to contest that ruling.) The League continued to monitor hunts so that evidence of law breaking could be brought before the Magistrates' Courts.[32][33]
- 2007 – A second successful prosecution was brought by the League against two members of the Quantock Staghounds after they were filmed chasing a deer for more than an hour.[34]
- 2008 – the League is successful in a third Hunting Act private prosecution.[35] The League moves from London to new offices in Godalming.[36]
- 2009 – announced a new campaign against dogfighting, amidst news reports that there is an increase in dogfighting in London.
- 2010 – the League rebrands and launches a new image and new logo "to better equip [it] for the campaigning challenges ahead."
Sanctuaries [edit]
The League began buying land in 1959 to provide a safe haven for hunted animals. Concentrated around Exmoor and the Quantock Hills in the West Country, the League now owns around 40 wildlife reserves, the first of which it set up at Baronsdown, near Dulverton.[37] In 2002, they faced accusations by hunt supporters and the British Deer Society of poor practice in wildlife management.[38] A League spokesman said: "With its close links to field sports organisations, it comes as no surprise to the League that the BDS has chosen at the behest of its members to attack an organisation that does not support their principle of management by killing."[38] In 2005 the League conceded that the Baronsdown deer were infected with bovine tuberculosis and agreed to stop feeding the 300-strong herd in winter to decrease overall numbers.[39]
Recent activities [edit]
The League supported the Protection of Wild Mammals (Scotland) Act, passed in 2002 by the Scottish Parliament, and the Hunting Act 2004. Both laws make it illegal to chase a fox with more than two dogs, but allow the use of two dogs (England) or a pack of dogs (Scotland) to flush a fox out of its lair to be shot.[40] Both laws allow the use of one terrier at a time below ground to flush a fox to be shot, if the owner of the terrier has written permission from the land owner or occupier to reduce fox populations in order to prevent or reducing serious damage to game birds or wild birds being kept on the land. The Hunting Act requires that the terrier is fitted with an electronic locator collar.[41]
The League is currently campaigning against commercial breeding of non-native game birds for shooting, and against hunts that it believes are continuing to hunt wild mammals contrary to the 2004 ban.
It also campaigns to extend hare coursing/fox hunting legislation from Scotland, England and Wales to Northern Ireland. Between 2006 and 2008, it successfully undertook private prosecutions against four hunt officials under the Hunting Act, because the police would not take action, and argued that this showed that the Hunting Act was clear in its meaning.[42][43][44] The first prosecution led to a conviction, but this was overturned on appeal,[45] and the second conviction was upheld in the Crown Court.[46]
Controversies [edit]
In the late 1980s, League Executive Director Richard Course was fired from the League after he expressed views divergent from the League's mission. He had begun to spend some time with the mounted fox hunts as an outgrowth of his work. After a period of time talking with professional wildlife managers and hunt supporters, he concluded that: "I find it repugnant that some people will kill another living creature for recreational purposes" but said that the dogs easily outpace the fox within a minute or two and kill it within a second or two and that how the fox is located is "totally irrelevant" to animal welfare considerations.[47] James Barrington assumed Course's position within the League. Barrington later resigned stating that he concluded that an absolute ban on hunting was not in the best interests of animal welfare; he later joined the Countryside Alliance as an Animal Welfare Consultant.[48] Barrington admits that he did not fully understand hunting and therefore could not fully condemn it. Furthermore it seemed to him that some of the league took their fight against hunting to a personal level. ref name="Shooting politics">"Shooting Politics, episode 11, 6 January 2010".

Political links [edit]
The League has long claimed to be politically neutral, but has a history of facing redress by the Charity Commission for being wide of the mark in its campaigning. In addition, several League staff have close political links. Chief Executive Joe Duckworth is a former trade union leader. Head of Campaigns Louise Robertson is the partner of John Park, a Labour member of the Scottish Parliament, whilst both her predecessors, Steve Taylor and Mike Hobday have very close links to the Labour Party, being a CLP secretary and former PPC, respectively. Head of Finance Nicola Hill formerly worked for the late Tony Banks MP. Political officer Joshua Kaile is a member of the Labour Party, and website officer James Dixon is a well known left wing activist formerly employed by a student union and the website, Political Scrapbook. Both employees in Wales (Robin Lewis and Amy Kitcher) are politically active, as councillors in the Labour and Liberal Democrat parties. Former CEO Douglas Batchelor is a lifelong Labour supporter. Another employee is a niece of Nye Bevan. Amongst board members, chair John Cooper QC stood as a Labour candidate in the 1992 election, and Labour MP Chris Williamson is a former chair, whilst many board members are Labour Party members. Lorraine Platt, organiser of 'Conservatives Against Fox Hunting', is the only known Conservative on the staff or board. Vice-Presidents include Labour politicians Robert Evans, Kerry McCarthy, and Lib Dem Adrian Sanders. Evans, together with Ian Cawsey were unsuccessful applicants for the CEO role when Batchelor retired in 2011.

Acting savant, Michaelan Moore has had her fair share, now, as she breaks into the NYC stand-up-comedy scene, we discuss the innards of stage performance, camera dynamics and on-set relationships.
Dingus: I was introduced to your act through your stand up comedy routine, which is a fairly new venture for you if im not mistaken. Having a strong background and proficiency for on-screen acting, how has stand-up influenced you?
Moore: Stand up is a beast of it's own. Although I have experience and a love for comedic acting, stand up has challenged me on a personal level. Yes, it requires comic timing/instinct and stage presence, but the ability to "hide" behind a character is gone. On that stage, I am Michaelan Moore, not Michaelan Moore playing the part of _____. Whether I totally bomb, or get a standing O, it's all on me. Thats what is so scary and exciting about it for me. It has made me take myself less seriously, take all criticism with a grain of salt, and really learn to get back up every time I fall. On top of that, the writing aspect of stand up has been a blast for me. I have always loved to write, but now I have a reason to do so on a regular basis. That was a long answer, am I boring you?
Not at all. As a young actress can you feel a natural gravitation toward stand up? Or is it something you challenged yourself to do.
There was no natural gravitation at all. It was something that I had always dreamed of doing but up until now, not had the guts. I finally pushed myself to do it and told myself that if I really sucked, at least I tried. I had a feeling I would love it though, and luckily, I was right!
Is there a big difference acting on camera vs. on stage?
Yeah there's a huge difference. I grew up doing theatre and still have a real love for it, but film acting is so much more real and personal. Every tiny nuance and gesture is magnified. There is no hiding from the camera. Its a very vulnerable thing to be a film actor, and it took some real getting used to for me. It magnifies both your weaknesses and your strengths. It sounds corny but training to be a film actor involves a lot of self discovery. The camera captures things about you that you may bot have known about yourself before. Its very raw.
To date, what has been your most memorable experience on camera?
I worked on an indie film a few months ago with a really great director and cast. I believed in the script and in the direction the film was moving and the cast and crew had an amazing energy and passion for what we were creating. When you are just starting out in the business, those things are rare to encounter. When there is a collective movement towards a goal in a film by the director/cast/crew, its really powerful. A lot of times everyone is more focused on themselves and their individual performance, and not the outcome of the film. That particular experience was refreshing and reminded me why I do what I do.
What are the individual interests at hand and how might they sabotage a group effort on set?
I think it's easy for actors to get in the "prima Donna"/" it's all about me" mode on set and lose focus of the collective goal to create a great film. I have been guilty of that in the past for sure. I've learned that the more positive energy and passion you are able to send outward to your cast mates , the more you get in return.
I feel like there are moments where actors who hate eachother might end up on screen together as best friends. Is that sort of, the ultimate test of your acting ability?
Of course. Acting is so very personal and intimate , it's hard to remove yourself from any real life drama, but like any other job- its all about professionalism . In that moment, its your JOB to be best friends , that's how I look at it.
In a world where everyone is "pursuing their dreams" how do you feel about having your dream minimalized by the idea markets over-saturation? Does it inspire you to push harder, to separate yourself from the small fish? Or does it discourage you?
It inspires me to do something different. That's part of the reason why I started doing stand up. I've always liked to take "the road less traveled" . It's all about finding your niche and what you do well. I think that's what separates the big fish from the small.
What's been the biggest challenge of your career thus far?
That's a tough one. Of my entire career (which is young) I would honestly say, remaining mentally strong and being able to bounce back quickly . This business is incredibly unpredictable. One minute you are working on a promising pilot and the next, youre told it's cancelled and you're out of work for a month. One casting director tells you he hated your audition and your headshot sucks , and the next one tells you you're a star. It's been a process for me to learn to take criticism and rejection with a grain of salt and continue moving forward. Being able to rebound quickly is a skill Im still developing, but its crucial in this career.

I am speechless. Lafite and Mouton released their 2005 futures to the Bordeaux wine trade in the last 24 hours for 300 euros a bottle, and the global wine trade can't get enough. In fact, I have been told that many are reordering! This means that Lafite and Mouton 2005 will be about $650 a bottle to American consumers – or more.

Yesterday my wife and I experienced the Santa Scala. It is allegedly the staircase that Christ ascended to receive His judgment from Pontius Pilate. You go up on your knees. My wife and I couldn't believe how painful it was. The marble steps are now covered in walnut and they are worn down and curled so that your knees never have a flat place to rest.
At the top of the stairs is the Sancta Sanctorum the 'Holy of Holies' in which was once cased the world's grandest relic collection. Above the chapel is written in Latin, 'There is no place on earth more holy.' All the relics have been basically stripped out so that only an icon of Christ (made without human hands) remains over the altar. This icon was carried through the streets in elder days to ward off plagues.
The whole thing is amazing. Outside they were selling the most kitschy POD clock of Padre Pio that somewhat psychodelic and I wish I had bought it.
More to come. Stay tuned.

Yesterday the parking representative told me that parking was a privilege, not a right. For a person who cannot walk the long distance from the parking lot to the studio, or walk from the bus stop parking to the studio, an accessible parking space is more than some random privilege or convenience. They have made some accommodations, but change them often and have given me tickets and yesterday clamped my car while I was on the air. They have ticketed my car previously despite having clearance to park. When I voiced my protest they advised me that I would have to go in person to their office to fight the tickets; an office that is not readily accessible. At one point the designated parking, with the "handicapped" sign was only accessible via six very steep concrete stairs; It would be funny, I even laughed out loud later, but cried real tears when at that time it might as well have been 500 stairs.
Amy Goodman appeared in Olympia on Sunday, March 29, 2009 as part of her book tour, Standing Up to the Madness: Ordinary Heroes in Extraordinary Times, which she co-wrote with her brother, David Goodman. She demonstrated her wonderful wit, and way with words, before a crowd of several hundred. I hope that video of her speech becomes available, because her speech was enjoyable and entertaining, and very informative and inspiring — and because I had to leave early! She told some very powerful stories, including about Rachel Corrie, a Palestinian man whose name starts with B (help me out here,) the Israeli Military refusenik (who is also the nephew of Benjamin Netanyahu,) and Frederick Douglass (re: Mount Misery,) among others. Here are some photos that I made, and a list of some of the sponsoring and affiliated organizations:

Here are a couple of excerpts from today's show. From the headlines, Senator Bernie Sanders speaking of an Obama nominee:
"We need an independent leader who will help create a new culture in the financial marketplace and move us away from the greed, recklessness and illegal behavior which has caused so much harm to our economy." (link)
And from the show's description of an interview with Thomas Geoghegan:
Thomas Geoghegan on "Infinite Debt: How Unlimited Interest Rates Destroyed the Economy"The Obama administration unveils its $1 trillion plan to buy toxic assets from banks and restore the financial system. But should we return to the way it was? We speak with Chicago lawyer Thomas Geoghegan about his new Harper's Magazine cover story, "Infinite Debt: How Unlimited Interest Rates Destroyed the Economy." Geoghegan writes, "We dismantled the most ancient of human laws, the law against usury, which had existed in some form in every civilization from the time of the Babylonian Empire to the end of Jimmy Carter's term."

Despite the horrendous events of September 11th, 2001 here in the US - it might be easy to forget another horrendous historical September 11th. 35 years ago, on September 11th, 1973, the democratically elected government of the popular President of Chile was violently upended in a coup d'Etat. Salvador Allende, the democratically elected President was overthrown when subversive elements within the Chilean military stormed and bombed the La Moneda Presidential Palace. Many dissidents were rounded up and they are alleged to have been been killed. The incoming dictator, Augusto Pinochet, is known to have practiced torture in the execution of an authoritarian and harsh, militaristic rule over the people of Chile.
The second portion of the show was with Ralph Nader. Ralph Nader is so awesome. He was really instrumental in kindling my political awareness. I saw him in Minneapolis, MN at the "Target Center." I haven't been the same since. I suppose you could consider it an awakening. I was working, at the time, on a Voter Registration Drive for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN). I registered a lot of people in traditionally economically depressed and low voter-turn-out areas, can't remember exactly how many, but it was right around 2,500 if I remember right.
Voter registration drives are great. It's good to inspire political awareness.
Anyway, it was a good program. Thanks to Kim and all the good folks at KAOS.
And I hope that I can find a mp3 from the show so that I can plug you in to the discussions. - bert
It's a story Radio8Ball's creator Andras Jones doesn't want told - he's already threatened legal action along with illegally threatening blacklisting. However it's not illegal to report an honest and accurate account of personal experiences with someone, even if said experiences are negative and don't leave the subject in a flattering light.
The story is long (having originally been serialized in five parts on Myspace) - covers four years meticulously - and features a woman who wouldn't agree to be pushed around or treated like a dog.
Just a quick heads up that I'll be talking with Palestinian singer Reem Kelani in the first hour of Spin The Globe tomorrow morning (Friday May 16). The rest of Spin The Globe will feature music from Buddhist lands, and the usual assortment of global grooves.
Listen in at KAOS 89.3 FM or listen online
Palestinian singer, musician and broadcaster Reem Kelani is in the Northwest as part of the , and performs this evening as part of the Global Divas show, as well as Friday morning and Saturday afternoon shows.
Kelani released her debut album "Sprinting Gazelle – Palestinian Songs from the Motherland and the Diaspora" (Fuse Records) in February 2006 to critical acclaim. Representing the culmination of twenty years' work, which included research in Palestine, in Palestinian refugee camps and the Palestinian Diaspora into old traditional songs, Sprinting Gazelle is a fully independent production.
"Pining For the Fjords", a new radio show, will broadcast for the first time this Thursday on KAOS, from 1-3 pm.
The show is hosted by Tammy Tillinghast (of "The Think Tank") and will feature artists from Scandinavia and the Nordic countries (including Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, and Greenland). The music will be mostly in the indiepop vein, but will also include folk, rock, soul, electronica, and more.
Tune in live for the debut episode at 89.3 FM, or stream online here. The show will be heard every Thursday from 1-3 pm for the foreseeable future. You can find more information at this link.
Thanks for listening!
Gene Eugene was the frontman for the funk-rock band Adam Again. He was also one of the founding members of the gospel/Americana supergroup Lost Dogs.

CD/LP/Track Review
Conrad Herwig: Osteology
A jazz guitarist with a penchant for provocation once called the guitar "the lamest jazz instrument... besides the trombone." The big horn, with its awkard slide and low, nasal sound, is certainly a jazz underdog. Its important role in big bands is indisputable, but it is generally not thought of as a frontman instrument. In other words, there's never been a Charlie Parker or John Coltrane of the trombone. Thanks to the unwieldy mechanics of the instrument, trombonists typically haven't been able to negotiate chord changes and fast tempos as fluidly as a sax or trumpet or pianist can. As a result, the trombone has not achieved the kind of iconic status in jazz that we associate with, say, the tenor saxophone.
But Conrad Herwig threatens to demolish all that. His technical facility is astounding. On his second Criss Cross release, Osteology, he recruits fellow trombonist Steve Davis of Chick Corea & Origin fame to complete his frontline. He didn't name the record "osteology" — the study of bones — for nothing. The session comes across as a kind of trombone manifesto. If you're thinking that two trombones up front might sound clunky and colorless, think again. This record is burning; it sounds more like a live show than a studio date. David Kikoski is on piano, James Genus is the bassist, and Jeff "Tain" Watts is behind the kit.
It's remarkably easy to tell Herwig and Davis apart. Herwig is the more flamboyant of the two, tending toward the higher register and brandishing a brighter tone. Davis, favoring lower and fewer notes and a mellower tone, usually solos after Herwig. The disc opens with a seldom-played Coltrane number, "Syeeda's Song Flute." Other non-originals include Joe Henderson's Caribbean-style "Fire"; a clever and unusually brisk 6/8 reading of "It Ain't Necessarily So"; the oft-played but wonderful ballad "You Don't Know What Love Is"; and a blindingly fast "Devil May Care," on which Kikoski solos with only his right hand, in the manner of Herbie Hancock on Miles Smiles.
Three Herwig originals complete the program. A contemplative latin groove grounds "Kenny K.", a moving tribute to the late Kenny Kirkland. Fittingly, piano is front and center, with Kikoski soloing first. "First Born," which gets my vote for best track, is a medium blues that recalls Wayne Shorter and McCoy Tyner on Blue Note. Genus and Tain lock in and swing furiously. And "Osteology" closes the record with a fleet dual-trombone line over a breakneck swing tempo; Herwig and Kikoski solo at the peak of their respective powers.
There's nothing too out of the ordinary here in terms of material; it's as straightforward a hard bop/post-bop menu as can be imagined. But the performances are outstanding and the energy is consistently high. The two trombonists surpass, to a startling degree, the supposed limitations of their instrument, supported by one of the most explosive rhythm sections I've heard on record in a while. Interestingly, Kikoski and Tain did not gel as well on Kikoski's own Criss Cross effort The Maze. This time the ferocity just doesn't let up. ~David R. Adler, 1/13/00

Terrine of foie gras
For 1 Terrine of foie gras, you will need:
- 1 raw foie gras (weight about 600 g)
- 7 ml salt
- 2 ml pepper
- 1 pinch mixed spice (quatre-épices)
- ½ tablespoon Port
- ½ tablespoon Brandy (Cognac or Armagnac)
Nutritional information:
% are calculated relative to a Recommended Dietary Intake or RDI of 2000 k-calories by day for a woman (change to a man).
Resting : 16 hours
Cooking : 15 min.
Start to finish : 17 hours 8 min.

How much will it cost?
Note : These prices are only approximate. Read more...
Step by step recipe:
Take the liver out of the fridge at least two hours in advance so that it can come to room temperature and soften. Rinse thoroughly under warm running water to remove any remaining traces of blood. Dry with absorbant paper. | |
Cut into pieces. | |
Mince with a vegetable mill, using the finest blade. | |
An alternative (but more tiring): push the pieces through a fine sieve using a maryse. | |
With both methods you will need to remove the veins and skin left behind at regular intervals. This is a very simple and efficient way of removing the veins from foie gras. | |
Scrape the underneath of the the blade so that the minced liver drops. | |
Then tip the minced or sieved liver into a gratin dish, which you have weighed beforehand (and made a note of the weight somewhere). You can line the dish with coooking film to save the washing up later, but this is not essential. | |
Once all the liver has been prepared, weigh the dish again, subtract its empty weight and so calculate the weight of liver. Calculate the weight of salt and pepper needed using this little automatic converter, and season in 2 stages: add half the seasoning (salt + pepper + spice), turn the liver over gently and add the remaining seasoning. Please note: although the amount of seasoning should be calculated precisely, the amount of alcohol is entirely a matter of taste, but don't overdo it - the flavour of the liver should not be overpowered by that of the alchohol. | |
Add the alcohol. | |
Then cover the dish with stretch cooking film and refrigerate overnight. | |
Next day, take the dish out of the fridge 2 hours in advance so that it comes up to room temperature (important for proper cooking). Preheat the oven to 90°C (194°F) and cook the liver for 15 minutes. | |
Take the dish out of the oven and remove the plastic film. Don't panic at the awful sight; your terrine isn't ruined. | |
Use a skimmer to take small amounts of liver from the dish (the worryingly soft texure is quite normal)... | |
...and fill your terrines... | |
...carefully. It's a good idea to tap the base of the terrine on a teatowel folded in 4 to help the liver to pack down. Smooth the surface with a maryse. Put the lid on and refrigerate for 3 or 4 days (if you can wait that long) to allow the flavours to develop fully. | |
You will see that the texure is very smooth, which is characteristic of a terrine of foie gras. The terrine will keep in the fridge for ten days or so, but I advise you to protect a started terrine with plastic film to prevent oxidation which would turn it a greyish colour. | |
This video show you how to make this recipe using a sieve. |
This recipe has been simplified especially to help beginners. If you prefer to go on to a more advanced level, try the "Home-made terrine of foie gras ".
The French "Foie gras en terrine" as opposed to "Terrine de foie gras"; the names are very similar and can lead to confusion. It is worth knowing the difference:
Foie gras en terrine: the veins are removed from the liver by hand, so conserving as many large pieces as possible which are then cooked and arranged in terrines. These famous pieces give a marbled texture. | |
Terrine de foie gras (this recipe): the whole liver is put through a vegetable mill producing a smooth texture, even if a number of livers are used. |
And to drink?
One can discuss at length what wine to drink with foie gras, but at the risk of being controversial, I don't think a Sauternes goes at all well. Such a sweet wine is already too close to the sweet richness of the foie gras.I suggest you try a dry white wine instead, which can bring out the flavour of the foie gras by contrasting with it. Why not a "Cotes du Jura blanc" (those from the Domaine Rolet in Arbois (France) are excellent).
If you really prefer a sweet wine, try something less sweet than a Sauternes, like "Coteaux du Layon, Croix blanche" a wine from the Loire valley, (those made by Sylvie Termeau at Rochefort/Loire are perfect).

Police Investigating Neighborhood Dispute, House Egging
A community outreach team is working to resolve problems in a Perry Hall neighborhood.
An incident involving eggs thrown at a home is just the latest complaint to come out of the Four Mills Road neighborhood in Perry Hall, a police report shows.
A resident told police she believed the "egging" of her home, between June 26-27, was racially motivated, but police have not reached any conclusions in their investigation, according to Lt. David Naimaster of the White Marsh police precinct.
The precinct's community outreach team is working to resolve the most recent destruction of property, as well as other complaints of alleged trespassing and harassment, likely involving teenagers, Naimaster said.
Perry Hall residents involved in community disputes can contact Sgt. Angela Mickle of the White Marsh precinct's Community Outreach Unit for assistance, by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

In my humble opinion, I don't think people should judge people because of their ethencity. Pepple are people and should be judge on individual character and morals... not race! This country needs to get it together. Donwe judge our soldiers, our police and those who are protecting us? Just saying we all are born as people and had no say when we came into world... So don't be too quick to judge others. If this is racial, then the random
egg throwing would be discarded. I agree that it needs to be investigated just in case, in the end we will find the truth.
