Tidal wave separates seal pups from mothers at Donna Nook
One of the largest grey seal reserves in the UK has been closed to visitors after a tidal wave separated seal pups from their mothers.
Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust said it had closed Donna Nook reserve to allow the seals a chance to find each other.
Rachel Shaw, from the trust, said the seals needed peace and quiet.
She said the trust was also concerned for public safety as many of the seals had gone through a broken fence into a public viewing area.
"Last night we had the highest tide at Donna Nook that our warden has ever witnessed and we have had damage to our footpaths and parts of the fence that separates people from the seals," she said.
"It has also caused massive displacement of the seals - they are spread over a much larger area than normal and a lot of the mothers have been separated from their pups.
"We need to give the seals time away from people - we are concerned that there will be pups that have been abandoned just because their mothers can't find them again."
More than 1,000 seal pups have been born at Donna Nook this year.
Staff at the reserve said they would continue to review the situation and hoped to reopen the public viewing area as soon as possible.

About a year and a half ago, around the time Bend actor and playwright Clinton K. Clark's "The Beatles Die on Tuesday" opened at 2nd Street Theater, Sandy Klein, manager of the theater, challenged Clark to write a new Christmas play.
"What she had in mind was something pretty family-friendly," Clark told GO! "And so I tried. But she seems to be pretty OK with how it turned out."
What: "A Politically Correct Christmas"
When: Opens 7:30 p.m. Friday; additional performances 7:30 p.m. Thursday-Saturday, 2 p.m. Sunday, till Dec. 17
Where: 2nd Street Theater, 220 NE Lafayette Ave., Bend
Cost: $19, $16 students and seniors

"It" refers to "A Politically Correct Christmas" (or "A P.C. Xmas" for short), Clark's collection of four new short plays riffing on well-known classic tales. The new show makes its world premiere Friday at the Bend theater. Like so much gift-box ribbon, Clark twists, ties and tapes the stories of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman, a grown-up Kevin McCallister of "Home Alone" and Ralphie of "A Christmas Story" into modern tales that oftentimes are laugh-out-loud funny — and probably landing closer to PG-13 than a family-oriented production, according to Clark.
First up is "Rudy Rudy Rudolph," directed by Clark himself. It opens with a trio of kids (played by Katie James, Jayde Clark and Brynne Hunt) singing a changed-up version of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer." They show up periodically to sing another variant verse introducing the plot's next wrinkle. Matt Vigil stars as everyone's favorite flying reindeer, and boy, is he ever bright and cheerful. Vixen (Catherine Christie) is especially smitten with Rudy and makes plans to drink mojitos with him, although from the viewer's standpoint, he doesn't appear to reciprocate her romantic designs.
The reindeer with the red nose is not everyone's cup of tea, however: Donner (Tyler Santos) and Blitzen (Tommy Kuchulis) are a pair of young, dumb bucks given to hilarious antler collisions at the slightest whiff of disagreement.
Each has designs on courting the lovely doe, and hatch a plan to thwart Rudy — by sawing off Blitzen's antlers so he can pose as Rhonda the randy reindeer, consort to Rudy. Hijinks ensue, the reindeer pair off unexpectedly, and let's just say some healthy glows are the result.
Leading into intermission is "Halfway Home Alone," directed by Danielle Herron. Here, we see Harry and Marv, the oft-thwarted villains of "Home Alone," excellently re-created by Joshua Harrison and Levon Alldredge, respectively. The two, freshly out of prison, are arriving at a halfway house, where they're forced to bunk together.
Harry (played by Joe Pesci in the film) has designs of becoming a Broadway hairdresser, but as fate would have it, the only room available in the house is with Marv (Daniel Stern in the film).
Thanks, in large part, to Clark's script, and no doubt Herron's direction, Harrison and Alldredge somehow manage to re-create the duo's chemistry, bringing to the small stage the broad physical comedy of the two and the spirit of the source films.
Of course, other than their bickering, and Marv's hots for the house manager, Tina (Gracie DeWilde), they'd be nothing without a conflict. That arrives in the form of their formerly pint-size nemesis, Kevin McCallister (Kuchulis) now grown and ready to thwart more of Marv and Harry's plans.
"Less than Frosty," directed by Scott Schultz, takes off on Frosty the Snowman, seen here as he slowly decays thanks to global warming: Think of your most politically incorrect relatives after a few drinks have removed whatever filters they have, then double their intake of Fox News, and you have some approximation of Frosty, who's ripe for moving to the "cold folks home."
Richard Mueller stars as Frosty, who lives with a family played by Amy James as the mother, and Audrey Rink and Katie James as the daughters, all beginning to despair at Frosty's melting condition. Alldredge turns up again here as a slick salesman, ready to sell Frosty and his family on a nice icebox in which to chill.
The cloying, patronizing voice he adopts for the role could put the most shameless radio huckster out of business.
Clark said that while all four of his plays have moments he enjoys, "What I've been finding is that there are things I've written in that I didn't even know were funny until I'd seen it on stage. For example, Frosty, when I wrote him, I had something completely different in mind, but what Richard's done with it is completely hilarious. I couldn't even have thought of that. He's taken it and run with it farther than my thoughts went."
The Karen Sipes-directed "The Christmas Story: 20 years later" finds Ralphie (Russ Seaton) home from the Vietnam War, and younger brother Randy (Harrison) a pacifistic hippie. Clark provides the frequently occurring voice-overs you may remember from "A Christmas Story."
Some things never change: When dad's precious leg lamp suffers damage, they must turn to an antiques dealer you'll recognize from his torment of Ralphie: Scot Fergis ("Scut Farkus" in the film), the third role played by Kuchulis in the quartet of Christmas plays.
Clark said that Kuchulis "kicked ass at auditions. Everybody wanted him. I would venture to say he's the Jim Carrey of Bend."
Asked about the title "A P.C. Xmas," Clark said, "I'm not trying to take a stand on anything in the … cultural atmosphere right now, the 'happy holidays' versus 'keep Christ in Christmas.' And I'm not taking a stand on anything. I'm just making fun of the whole thing. It's the differences that make us unique, and that's one of the things that I was trying to emphasize by making fun of this whole thing."
Before the month is out, Clark will again appear on the 2nd Street stage as Crumpet, the wry Macy's elf of "The Santaland Diaries." The one-man show, adapted from famed humorist David Sedaris' classic story by Joe Mantello. It runs Dec. 21-24 at 2nd Street and Dec. 22 at Maragas Winery.
"It's such a hit. So many people expect me to do it now," he said. "It's becoming a cult classic. Despite my feelings about it, and how this is my sixth time doing it. It's like, 'Ugh.'" (Uh-oh. He's starting to sound like Crumpet!)
Clark, who interned at Oregon Shakespeare Festival several years back, will also appear early next year in "Equivocation," a play by Bill Cain about events surrounding the creation of Shakespeare's "Macbeth." Clark's also writing a TV pilot, which he described as "a dream for the future."
For now, he hopes "A P.C. Xmas" will lift spirits during a time of year that can be depressing for some.
"Christmas is kind of a serious time for a lot of people. It's the same reason that I do 'Santaland,'" Clark said. "It's to bring some laughter and some joy into this kind of stressful time that everyone puts up on this pedestal."

First, remove the Nutri Bullet's old gasket using a fingernail or thin-edged tool, then place the new gasket into the recessed lip inside of the blade receptacle. Ensure a proper fit by filling the Nutri Bullet's blending chamber with water, assembling the unit and checking for any leaks.Continue Reading
The Nutri Bullet's manufacturer makes several other similar products that use different types of replacement gaskets. Ensure that you purchase a gasket specifically for a Nutri Bullet, as Magic Bullet or Baby Bullet gaskets do not work properly. The Nutri Bullet Rx has its own sort of gasket, and replacing it requires a new gasket as well as a new gasket lip ring.
If your Nutri Bullet is still under the manufacturer's warranty, notify the company of your need for a replacement. If the damaged gasket does not violate the Nutri Bullet's warranty terms, the manufacturer replaces the faulty part free of charge.
The Nutri Bullet gasket prevents food or beverage leaks by providing a tight seal between the appliance's blade receptacle and food chamber. With heavy use, the gasket eventually becomes stretched out and brittle, lessening the quality of the seal and necessitating replacement. Aside from damage to the gasket from regular use, the manufacturer also acknowledges that some of the gaskets in its products arrive from the factory in faulty condition.Learn more about Cookware & Kitchen Tools

Between the years of 1990 and 2000, terrible atrocities were committed against women in Peru. President at the time Alberto Fujimori was at the heart of a campaign to sterilize women as a form of extreme birth control.
Most of the women targeted were poor and from impoverished areas, and therefore had little access to family planning resources or help that could otherwise protect them from the forced sterilization. It's clear that President Fujimori preyed on these women. Many times, the women couldn't even choose whether they wanted the procedure done or not.
The UN needs to step up and redress this terrible assault on human rights — Fujimori hasn't been punished for these crimes nor have the women been given assistance.
Tell the UN: devise a plan to rectify Fujimori's gross attacks on human rights in Peru.
Dear UN representatives:
From 1990 to 2000, hundreds of thousands of women in Peru experienced forced sterilizations on behalf of Peru's president at the time Alberto Fujimori. The sterilizations were a part of his aggressive family planning plan, aimed to cut birth rates significantly.
Over this period of time, sterilizations were performed by unqualified people and often without anesthetics. As a result, many of the women suffered permanent physical and emotional stress.
The UN still has not taken steps to rectify this situation — whether it be holding Fujimori responsible or providing assistance to the affected women.
It's your job to make sure this injustice does not go unpunished. Stand up for human rights.

TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Rebel forces and armed civilians are rounding up thousands of black Libyans and migrants from sub-Sahara Africa, accusing them of fighting for ousted strongman Moammar Gadhafi and holding them in makeshift jails across the capital.
Virtually all of the detainees say they are innocent migrant workers, and in most cases there is no evidence that they are lying. But that is not stopping the rebels from placing the men in facilities like the Gate of the Sea sports club, where about 200 detainees — all black — clustered on a soccer field this week, bunching against a high wall to avoid the scorching sun.
Handling the prisoners is one of the first major tests for the rebel leaders, who are scrambling to set up a government that they promise will respect human rights and international norms, unlike the dictatorship they overthrew.
The rebels' National Transitional Council has called on fighters not to abuse prisoners and says those accused of crimes will receive fair trials.There has been little credible evidence of rebels killing or systematically abusing captives during the six-month conflict. Still, the African Union and Amnesty International have protested the treatment of blacks inside Libya, saying there is a potential for serious abuse.
Aladdin Mabrouk, a spokesman for Tripoli's military council, said no one knows how many people have been detained in the city, but he guessed more than 5,000. While no central registry exists, he said neighborhood councils he knows have between 200 and 300 prisoners each. The city of 1.8 million has dozens of such groups.
Justice Minister Mohammed al-Alagi told reporters this week that he'd visited several detention centers and found conditions "up to international standards."
"We are building a Libya of tolerance and freedom, not of revenge," he said.

Is it common to have National Guard installations (potential "targets" or danger zones) surrounded by baseball fields or other such stadiums/fenced areas/fields that are generally looked at as benevolent?
The armoury is also listed as the location of the State Defense Force, part of the National Guard.

Ok, but my local National Guard Armoury - the one I've been talking about - Is listed as the State Defense Force building. I think part of it's a VFW hall as well.
Note the part where I said "Note their locations in relation to" those things. Look at their proximity to each other. Pretend you're a law enforcement agent and you need to find the best/quickest routes to effectively patrol an area/keep it surveiled/keep people inside.
A school on one side of a city probably isn't related to a college of a different name on the other side of the city.
A school next to a library and a science lab, with a short, well-lit, paved path leading directly into a college dorm and branching off into other nearby academic buildings, covered with banners/posters with the college's name on them posted everywhere... Probably some kind of relationship there.
Obama Preparing for Martial Law During Hyperinflation
In August of 2009, the city of Paterson, New Jersey, proposed the implementation of martial law by imposing an adult curfew at night...
In the event that the ordinance was passed, there would immediately be thousands of brand new criminals breaking the law in Paterson and Torres would have a need to ask the Federal Government to bring in the U.S. military to detain the thousands of criminals who were disobeying the law. The Federal Government would in effect be creating a phony conflict in a city with a high crime rate so that they can justify using the U.S. military at home.
Last year, President Obama signed an Executive Order "Establishment of the Council of Governors", which Obama claims is an order to strengthen further the "partnership" between the Federal Government and State governments to "protect" our Nation and its people and property. It orders that a council be created of 10 State Governors appointed by the President who will meet to exchange information with the Secretary of Defense, Secretary of Homeland Security, and many other government officials related to the military. Their meetings will concern matters involving the National Guard of the various States, homeland defense, civil support, synchronization and integration of State and Federal military activities in the United States; and other matters of mutual interest pertaining to National Guard, homeland defense, and civil support activities.

A softball field at the Rudy Moran Sports Complex in D'Iberville, named in honor of a former county employee, will be open for business within a week and local high school softball teams can hardly wait.

The NFL wants all fans patted down from the ankles up this season to improve fan safety.
Under the new "enhanced" pat-down procedures, the NFL wants all 32 clubs to search fans from the ankles to the knees as well as the waist up. Previously, security guards only patted down fans from the waist up while looking for booze, weapons or other banned items.
The stricter physical screening policy impacts the 16.6 million fans expected to attend live regular season NFL games this season...
..."The enhanced security procedures recommended by our office before the start of the season will further increase the safety of fans but will require some additional time," McCarthy told USA TODAY in a statement Thursday. "We encourage fans to come early, enjoy their tailgating tradition, and be patient as they enter the stadium."
The NFL suffered damage to its family-friendly image when a South Carolina man was arrested for using an illegal taser on other fans at a New York Jets-Dallas Cowboys game Sunday night...

I hate mixed messages but it seems there is finally some good news on the employment front. According to the Department of Labor this morning, non-farm payroll employment added 244,000 jobs in April, with the private sector seeing job growth of 268,000.
While that figure exceeded expectations, the unemployment rate rose to 9%. Some experts explained that increase to the people who weren't looking for jobs now resuming their job-hunt.
In response to those numbers, Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis, said, "Our nation's labor market registered encouraging job growth in the month of April." She added: "April's broad-based job gains were the largest we have seen in 11 months. Our economy has now seen private sector job gains for 14 months running. During this period, we have added 2.1 million private sector jobs, including 760,000 in the last three months alone. We have crossed an important threshold by creating more than enough jobs in each of the last three months to outpace growth in the labor force and put unemployed Americans back to work."
Solis and others believe the recovery is on track.
Consider this from Austan Goolsbee, chairman of the President's The Council of Economic Advisers:
"Despite headwinds from high energy prices and disruptions from the disaster in Japan, the last three months of private job gains have been the strongest in five years."
However, for those who are out of work, this level of recovery just isn't enough.
As Heather Boushey, senior economist at the Center for American Progress, a non-partisan, Washington, D.C.-based research organization said: "While today's job growth is an improvement, there is a large backlog of workers waiting in the unemployment queue as well as millions who have given up searching, but still want to work. We need to see job growth break above 300,000 and stay at that level for many months before the unemployment rate will begin to come back down."

One of the parts of eMi's ministry that continues to amaze me is its internship program. Three times a year, our offices all over the world welcome in newly-minted design professionals and construction managers from the Western world, and more recently, our own local areas. Each intern travels on a project trip, is assigned a project that they hope to finish within the term, volunteers for a ministry outside of eMi as well, and is coupled with a mentor from our office.
Our office, the largest field office, has increased its capacity to about nine interns a term. Our kids typically adore them, horsing around with them during eMi lunch, jumping on the trampoline with them when they're over for dinner or strategy games, or telling them no-doubt fascinating stories about their daily lives. I am so impressed with the caliber of young people that arrive here in Kampala. It gives me great hope for the next generation of Christ's Bride, and for the compassionate vision and ministry with which they kick off their new careers. It's even more encouraging to see them return now and then--on project trips, brief stints in a slow season in their jobs, or for our latest Kilimanjaro fundraising climb.
John mentors an intern nearly every term! And this is his first term mentoring an East African intern. Faraja is an easy-going Tanzanian architect who we've loved getting to know. He, like Valerie (below), volunteers at the local refugee center, and delves into fascinating conversations with John about faith and life. You'll meet him next week in a post from John.
|Valerie and Janel
This term, I (Janel) took on my first mentee: Valerie Rubombora, a Ugandan architect. Valerie's been educated here as well as in Kenya and South Africa, where she acquired her degree. Wednesdays find us curled around steaming mugs of tea on my back porch, when we eventually meander into the kitchen to finish concocting dinner and usually on to a strategy game. Her wide, easy smile and spiritually hungry, creative, intelligent discussion ("Valerie, I love that you just used the word 'idyllic' in conversation!") always excite me. Valerie's willingness to share her life with me, and our family, is an unbelievable privilege. I am so excited about the plans God has for this young woman! The time for John and I to invest in some of East Africa's brightest and Christ-centered new professionals is humbling, energizing, and just plain fun.
Because so many have poured into me, it's cool to be on both sides of things. Just like Paul, we all need a Timothy and a Barnabas, right? Who knows?! Maybe there's a mentee waiting for you.
P.S. Shameless plug: If you're interested in mentoring, be sure to check out FamilyLife's e-Mentoring program.

MOSCOW (AFP) – New Zealand's Valerie Adams won a record fourth women's shot put world title at the World Athletics Championships on Monday in Moscow.
The 28-year-old two-time Olympic champion threw a best of 20.88 metres while Germany's Christina Schwanitz took silver with a personal best of 20.41m.
China's Olympic bronze medalist Gong Lijiao had to settle for third again at a major championships with 19.95m.
"It's been an amazing evening. I'm just stoked, I'm over the moon," said Adams.
"I did try to stay calm at the end and just think about what I needed to do and what I know I can do."
Adams, who only got promoted to Olympic champion last year after the original winner, Belarusian Nadezhda Ostapchuk, was stripped of the title for doping, was never behind, setting a high standard with her first effort of 20.41m.
Adams, whose father is English and mother Tongan, was especially delighted to have won this title after what had been a nightmare in London from start to finish as she had only been allowed to compete after an 11th hour appeal when New Zealand Olympic officials forgot to enter her.
"This win is very special, especially after what happened in London," she said.
"I am so excited winning the fourth world title. It was my plan to grab the lead from the opening throw so as to put pressure on the others.
"That was my 39th consecutive win and I want to make it at least 40 in a row.
"I'm just super happy now. My aim was to dominate them and I definitely did that well."
She delivered her winning throw in the third round and left the others fighting out a bitter battle for the minor medals.
Gong was in silver position until Schwanitz gave it her all in the sixth and final round, which also pushed American Michelle Carter out of the medals and into fourth.

My comments & observations pertained ONLY to the article re late payment of taxes not his politics. The record shows that he did pay his taxes in accordance within the legal statutory framework that all taxpayers are afforded and held to by the IRS. The insinuation is that he either tried to evade his tax responsibilities or seek special treatment by way of influence. Nowhere in the article does it say that his situation was remotely related to "simple inability to pay taxes" .
James Hodges
The way I see this is that Mr Pope is being crucified for having asked for and been granted extensions by the IRS as all US citizens and legal entities are entitled to do by law. There is not one shred of evidence that Pope and any groups associated with his name did not pay their taxes whatsoever. As for the personal hardships that Pope refers to as being relative to his having filed tax returns (and paid $$) late along w/ any penalties for doing so, I would hope that none of us taxpayers are ever subjected to family crisises that influence all of our lives from time to time. Pope appears to be trashed for having family problems and then for legally following the rules afforded to all taxpayers for late filings/payments.

Amazon's guidelines contain an extensive, five-point section that defines the kind of "promotional content" that's not allowed, but it includes nothing to prevent trolls from bullying authors with caustic, negative reviews. There's nothing to prevent people who haven't read your book from going off ad nauseam on how bad it is without backing up their statements with actual examples of what they find offensive.
These are not reviews. They're attacks, and they shouldn't be allowed.
Yet Amazon allows them.
It's pretty clear that this is one of those cases of "you can't fight city hall" - city hall, in this case, being Amazon. But as someone who believes it's important to combat bullying, I can't simply sit by and allow authors to be bullied by trolls who may not even have read their books. That may be fine with Amazon, but it's not fine with me.
After two positive reviews were removed from my books and two negative reviews were allowed to remain, despite their clear mean-spirited nature, I sent an e-mail to Amazon quoting its own guidelines about not allowing "spiteful remarks" in an attempt to restore some sense of equity and civility to the process. I was, predictably, rebuffed. Below is my initial inquiry, followed by Amazon's response:
I am contacting you because I am concerned about that a reviewer appears to be violating your policy against spiteful language in reviewing my books. Sissy McMillan has reviewed only two books in the past four years, and both have been mine. She has given scathing reviews to both, which leads me to believe I am being targeted. Here is her review of my book "The Gospel of the Phoenix":
"I can't believe I was sucked in by this - and I can't get my money back because I did try to read it. Save your time and your money and avoid this boring trash like the Plague!"
There is nothing specific about the content of the book, which leads me to believe she hasn't even read it. In a comment on a review of another book, "Undefeated," she states, "I have seen the stupid and boring writing of this 'author'," once again without any indication she has read the book. She claims to have borrowed the book, but it's not available for borrowing on Amazon and isn't in wide circulation, so this (her claim) seems unlikely, especially considering her lack of specifics.
I understand the value of negative reviews, but negative reviews that merely characterize a work in general, spiteful terms without any specifics as to why the book falls flat seem inappropriate. Thank you for your attention to this matter.Amazon's response:
I've read the reviews submitted by "Sissy McMillan" for the books titled "Undefeated: Overcoming Prejudice with Grace and Courage" and "The Gospel of the Phoenix: Another Revelation of Jesus." I understand your concerns, but these reviews do not violate our posted guidelines, so I'm unable to remove them in their current format.
However, as the author of these titles, you can provide feedback about the reviews by voting or commenting on them. To vote, click the "Yes" or "No" buttons next to "Was this review helpful to you?" To comment, click the Comments link at the bottom of each review.
We try to encourage our customers to give their honest opinions on our products while staying within our guidelines. As a retailer we are interested in cultivating a diversity of opinion on our products. Part of that is allowing our customers to air their honest thoughts on items they have received.
Apparently, it's OK with Amazon if those "honest thoughts" are unsubstantiated attacks, but it's not OK if they're positive comments. Amazon, it seems, has signaled its intent to be a breeding ground for trolls and mean-spirited attacks (as opposed to constructive, healthy criticism). Defending attacks on the pretext that they are "honest thoughts" is merely a means of condoning bullying. If you agree with me, here's what you can do to make your voices heard.
- Whenever you run across a mean-spirited review, mark it as unhelpful and report it as a violation of Amazon's guidelines. Forcing Amazon to spend staff time responding to your requests costs them money. Even if they refuse to act, you will be forcing them to pay a penalty, however small, for perpetuating this unfair policy.
- Mark positive reviews as helpful when they are, in fact, helpful.
- Mark comments that are rude, personal attacks or unsubstantiated as "unhelpful."
- Offer positive reviews to any books you have read and liked.
Do this whenever you're on Amazon and run across these reviews. Authors put a lot of time and care into crafting their books, and the fact that online bullies are permitted to trash someone else's work without providing anything to support their opinions is a gross injustice. In a couple of minutes, they are dismissing months of work. The least they should do is provide a "why" - something Amazon suggests in its review "tips" but does not require - and remain civil.
I take some solace in the fact that I'm not alone. According to a Salon article, amateur "reviewers" have trashed such classics as The Diary of Anne Frank, To Kill a Mockingbird and 1984. Some people seem to enjoy making cutting remarks toward others and their work. Maybe it makes them feel superior. But regardless of their motives, the results promote animosity rather than constructive dialogue and criticism.

Civility appears to be going out the window in our society - and is being given a huge shove by Amazon's current review policy. I encourage everyone to share this blog and others like it that highlight this problem (no, I don't profit from this blog) and e-mail Amazon to protest the policy. The more people protest, the better the chance is that "city hall" will listen. Doing something is better than doing nothing.

Environmental Contamination
Every year, thousands of homeowners across the United States learn that their home sits on an environmental hazard put there by a company that will not accept responsibility. It's difficult to know where to turn. Government authorities have some powers, but generally do not have the power to compensate homeowners for lost property value or expenses related to monitoring residents' health. These cases also present complex legal questions and theories regarding the loss of use and value of property, and potential long term health effects of toxic exposure. Fighting the polluters also means fighting some of the largest corporations in the United States. The lawyers of Stueve Siegel Hanson have extensive experience representing individuals and communities in these cases, and have the resources to fight corporate polluters. Current cases include:
- Henry et al. v. Dow Chemical Corporation: Stueve Siegel Hanson represents residents of Saginaw, Michigan in a case against Dow Chemical. Plaintiffs accuse Dow of exposing property and residents to toxic Dioxin, and are seeking property and medical monitoring damages.
- Sparks et al. v. Premcor Refining, et al.: Firm lawyers represent residents of Hartford, Illinois in a putative class action against several petroleum companies accused of negligently contributing gigantic gas plume that sits underneath the town. Claims for property damage, as well as medical monitoring, are pending. UPDATE: Stueve Siegel Hanson secures $39.5 million in settlements from the defendants in the case.
If your community has suffered at the hands of corporate polluters, contact us to discuss your case by calling 816-714-7100.

Don't waste your money
This interview with Fr Dom Bede Griffiths regarding his interest in an East/West interspiritual dialog has a muddy soundtrack and is only a brief overview of an introduction of the very idea of such a dialog. Perhaps at the time of the interview, this was a risky and dangerous idea for both East and West, but the post-modern dialog has now gone way beyond this point into Western non-dual teachers and Christianity has a solid foothold in India that it did not perhaps have back in the mid-1940s. Bede's emphasis is clearly that of introducing Christian concepts to Hindu ways of thinking as the exclusive and personal nature of Christianity does not technically mix with the Eastern inclusive and impersonal advaita vedanta. Bede is hesitant to discuss any real connection except with respect to "mystical" Christianity and/or the Christian comtemplative tradition being served well by a stay in his ashram in India. If you are expecting any discussion in-depth, you will be sorely disappointed.

Davidson's Sisson no-hits Wofford
Freshman pitches sixth no-no in Wildcat history, first since 2001
DAVIDSON, N.C. -- Davidson freshman Henry Sisson threw a no-hitter with nine strikeouts as the Wildcats defeated Wofford 1-0 on Friday night at Wilson Field.
Junior shortstop Michael Zeblo scored the lone Davidson (12-19, 4-12 SoCon) run on a solo home run to right field to lead off the bottom of the fifth inning.
It was the first Davidson no-hitter since Wes Self threw one against High Point on Feb. 15, 2001 and just the sixth in Wildcats history.
RHP Brandon Yarusi (3-4) pitched well for Wofford (13-20, 3-10 SoCon) as well, pitching all eight innings and allowing just the one run, six hits and two walks, while also striking out nine.
Sisson (2-1) allowed four base runners to reach base, three on walks and one on an error when he dropped a toss from senior first baseman Calvin Sigelbaum attempting to cover first base in the second inning.
Sisson used his defense in the top of the ninth inning to accomplish the feat. Junior third baseman Andrew Barna fielded a grounder and completed the throw for the first out and senior centerfielder Drew Gadaire successfully tracked a high, pop-fly in centerfield for the second. Senior second baseman James Cerbie made a tough play to his left and an accurate throw to beat third baseman Eric Brenk by a step for the final out.

Say hello Friday to Meredith Shaw's Hardest Goodbye
They say good things come in threes — and it's true of Meredith Shaw's new collection of EPs.
The Toronto alt-country artist is bringing her peppy and smooth vocals to the London Music Club Friday night, in support of the release of her second of three EPs in the "Tringles" series.
The first EP, titled Trouble, covers the mischievous side of love, and was recorded with producer Joel Plaskett. (Hint: It's also the best one to spin before you head out for her show.) Hardest Goodbye is the second EP, released in March, and this time Shaw tackles a different subject: "The songs are more about being in the thick of it," she explains, "Being up against something. Writing for something you believe in. Those kinds of moments."
Shaw worked on the album with producer John-Angus Macdonald, whose name is familiar because he's also part of The Trews.
For the recording, Shaw was also able to bring in her live band — including guitarist Kori Kameda, upright bassist Jenny B, and drummer Safwan Javed — while the EP features guest appearances from members of The Trews, Wide Mouth Mason, and The Walkervilles.
In fact, for the studio recordings, The Walkervilles showed up in suits, bringing their soulful Motown-inspired vocals to the mix. Lead singer Pat Robitaille even stepped up for the duet Slide, which Shaw describes as the sexiest song on the EP.
She couples this sultry sound with Hardest Goodbye, a song with a little more edge and rock 'n' roll (and was named CBC's Song of the Week).
"I like being a female singer-songwriter singing pretty things," she says, "but I do like to holler a little bit, and this one let me do that."
Toronto singer-songwriter Andrew Austin will also take the stage, sharing his folk-rock collection While It's Still Lights Out, recorded with producer Dave Newfeld (Broken Social Scene, Apostle of Hustle).
Shaw and Austin perform in the LMC's Front Room Friday at 8:30 p.m. Doors are at 8 p.m., and cover is $5.

I received my first support from "Big Ag" in September of 2017, a small grant to fund exploratory work in small molecule discovery that (almost) funds a researcher in my lab for a year. Over this time all information has been 100% public record, and I've met every standard of transparency mandated by my institution.
However, is that enough? In 2015 I found myself in a controversy about transparency, and I realized that even though I did what was required, I didn't do enough enough to earn the public's trust.
Starting in September of 2015 I took on the painstakingly laborious task of detailing the financial arrangements around every speaking engagement, every written assignment, every lecture and every legislative junket. While not technically required, such detailed documentation sets a new standard for transparency that I'm glad to take on, and encourage others (especially critics) to meet that standard.
You can see that I've never received personal compensation from any company, and any financial transactions are reimbursement for exact costs of travel, lodging, etc. As public scientists we don't have special funds for travel, so travel outside of our state must be paid for by those requesting our assistance.
My research funding history can be seen here.
Funding for my outreach program comes from individuals and charities to support biotech literacy. These lists are available here.
The details of who pays for my speaking engagements, lectures and other travel is listed here from July, 2013, and is updated quarterly. You can see that here.
An abbreviated CV is presented here, and is only a fraction of what I do.

OK, gang. Time for a short report on the MOTHER EARTH NEWS Alternative Fuel Vehicle (which we're calling the Shuttle Bug).
To recap: This project was begun early last winter when we successfully demonstrated to the press that we could too produce methane from cow manure and, what's more, we could use that methane to fuel everything from a gaslight to a natural gas refrigerator to a 1948 Chevrolet Six automobile engine.
"Aha!" exclaimed one of the wire services around the first of the year when the flow of petrol began to slacken in this country, "The MOTHER EARTH NEWS nuts think they can run a car on methane. Let's see them do it."
At that point, we hastened to explain that, while we thought methane was just fine for stationary applications—a house, drying grain, cooking, etc.—we didn't think it was a particularly good fuel for a moving vehicle. "Methane," we said, "is the lightest of the gaseous hydrocarbons. You'd have to tow a blimp around behind you if you wanted to go any distance with it in an ordinary (overweight and overpowered) American car.
"Oho!" said the wire service. "You really can't run a car on methane after all."
"Well we can," we said, "but ....
"Prove it."
So OK. So we decided to prove it. But first we decided to build a little bug designed (1) just for methane operation and (2) to make more sense for the kind of urban driving that, increasingly, millions of U.S. citizens find themselves trapped into doing.
"We'll make our methane car ultra-small," we said. "We'll make it ultra-light. But, at the same time, we'll make it hell for stout with a triple roll bar over the cabin and a big, solid chunk of 4" channel iron right down each side to protect the driver and passenger. And we will design our little bug as a two-place ... no need to drag five empty seats around with you when you just want to run across town to get a corned beef sandwich. We'll put in a very small engine that will sip the absolute minimum amount of methane but, due to the automobile's extremely small frontal area, smooth aerodynamic lines and super-light weight, still push the little bus around at a lively pace. And above all, we'll simplify, simplify, simplify everything. Hinge up the whole front end instead of put two doors on the cabin. Form the entire body of only three or four pieces of fiberglass, instead of hundreds of metal panels, bolts, washers, sealers, etc. Forget the air conditioning, power seats and other gizmos that Detroit hangs on all its chariots."
And so we began. And as we worked on the methane bug we started wondering if we couldn't also build an electric car that fit into the same basic package, and which we could power with "juice" from our own windplant. And then the gasoline drought ended and we thought it'd be nice if we doodled up yet a third version of our urban vehicle, one which might get as much as 50 or 60 miles per gallon of regular gas.
Well, one way or another, we now have a whole herd of bugs in various stages of completion. The one we call our "pre-prototype prototype" runs on gas and isn't anything like a production model of the car would be and still needs a lot of work and will probably never be finished before we move on to a second generation design and should not, in any way, get anyone excited about the real Shuttle Bug that we may someday produce.
We're running a bellypan brother of this bug on methane at this time and we have the frame of its electric sister sitting in the shop waiting for tires and wheels and body panels. There's a lotto work ahead of us before we'll be ready (if we're ever ready) to offer our little cars to anyone.
But, in the meantime, here are the Shuttle Bug Specifications. Whattaya think of the project so far?

Nxamaseri Island Lodge
Welcome to our piece of paradise
Nxamaseri Island Lodge prides itself on providing a personal touch. Highly exclusive – featuring just seven double en-suite chalets and a charming tree house – the lodge maintains an intimate atmosphere for those requiring true relaxation. Each secluded room is surrounded by indigenous forest and enjoys a private deck overlooking the water. Teak walkways link the chalets to the lodge main area, providing an opportunity to witness – at close range – the remarkable birdlife that inhabits the tree canopy above.
Our Location
Nxamaseri Island Lodge was established in the early 1980s by PJ Bestelink, an avid fisherman who pioneered fly-fishing in Botswana. He found the secluded island – at the heart of the Delta panhandle – to be the perfect location and the lodge is now the Okavango Delta's premier fly-fishing destination.

text: 17 August 2011A cosmetic surgery clinic in America is pioneering new technology, to allow patients to preview the results of surgical procedures. The Canfield Vectra M3 Imaging System has been introduced to the Cleveland Plastic Surgery Institute and Dr Jason Leedy is the first local surgeon to use it.In an interview with online news channel wkyc.com, Dr Leedy said: �The Canfield Vectra M3 Imaging System allows me to take a patient's picture and then manipulate it and show them what's possible with surgery. �It's very important for a patient to understand what can be accomplished with plastic surgery, and the things that are in the realm of realistic.� The technology goes a step further than current before and after images used by many cosmetic surgery clinics, and Dr Leedy is convinced that it can help both patients and surgeons alike. One of Dr Leedy�s patients recently came in to ask about neck lift surgery but was concerned that her skin may look too tight or that the results would look unnatural, and he was able to allay her fears with the help of this imaging system. The system works by taking a high-resolution picture of the patient, focussing on the area of the body or face to be treated. The software then creates a three dimensional image which allows the surgeon to see the body or face from every angle and make desired changes. � The imaging system can also be used to see the perceived effects of injectable fillers such as Botox.

"Nevzlin has been placed on the international wanted list. The Prosecutor General's Office provided the necessary documents to the NCB on Friday evening," said the source.
Under Russian law, criminal prosecution papers have to be furnished to place a person on the international wanted list, explained the source.
"Under Russian law and in line with the Interpol charter, a court must issue an arrest and subsequent extradition warrants, and a document on charges that have been brought up against a person to place him/her on the Interpol list," said the source.
On January 16 2004, the required documents were sent to the Interpol Secretariat General, which has not as of yet responded, added the source.

The United Nations chief expressed alarm over the tragic plight of Rohingya Muslims in remarks before Myanmar's Aung San Suu Kyi and other leaders of nations within a Southeast Asian bloc that has refused to criticize her government over the crisis.
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said late Monday the unfolding humanitarian crisis can cause regional instability and radicalization. He met with leaders from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations on the sidelines of its summit in Manila.
"I cannot hide my deep concern with the dramatic movement of hundreds of thousands of refugees from Myanmar to Bangladesh," Guterres told the ASEAN leaders. Suu Kyi sat close to him but looked mostly instead at a wall screen showing the U.N. leader.
Hundreds of thousands of Rohingya have fled Myanmar's Rakhine state since late August when the military launched what they called "clearance operations" in response to insurgent attacks. The refugees say soldiers and Buddhist mobs attacked them and burned their villages to force them to flee.
Suu Kyi does not have the power to stop Myanmar's military but has defended it from international condemnation, drawing harsh criticism and damaging her image as a democracy activist and human rights campaigner.
Gutteres said at the United Nations in September that the attacks against the Rohingya appeared to be "ethnic cleansing" and said just Friday that it was "an absolutely essential priority" to stop all violence against Rohingya Muslims, allow them to return to their homes, and grant them legal status. But his remarks were more measured in front of his ASEAN audience and he did not use the word "Rohingya" itself, a term that angers people in Myanmar who do not consider them a recognized ethnic group.
"It is a worrying escalation in a protracted tragedy and a potential source of instability in the region, and radicalization," Guterres said, welcoming ASEAN efforts to provide humanitarian aid.
Since the crisis began, Guterres said he has called for "unhindered humanitarian access to affected communities and the right to safe, voluntary and dignified return of those who fled, to their places of origin."
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also raised the Rohingya issue in a meeting with the ASEAN leaders, including Suu Kyi, in Manila on Tuesday. Trudeau said he has deployed a special envoy to find out how Canada can support the Muslim minorities and pledged to support ASEAN efforts to help resolve the problem.
"This is of tremendous concern to Canada and many, many other countries around the world," Trudeau said of the Rohingya crisis in a news conference in Manila. "Again, we are always looking at not how we can sort of shake our finger and yell at people but how we can help, how we can move forward in a way that reduces violence, that emphasizes the rule of law, that ensures protection for all citizens."
The conservative ASEAN, which includes Myanmar and other countries critical of its handling of the Rohingya crisis like Malaysia, has refused to formally discuss the crisis as a bloc in a strongly critical manner. Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's spokesman, Harry Roque, however, said at least two leaders raised the issue Monday during the bloc's annual summit.
Founded in 1967 in the Cold War era, the ASEAN has a bedrock policy of non-interference in each of its members' domestic affairs and decides by consensus, meaning just one member can shoot down any initiative by other members. Those principles have allowed erring governments to parry criticisms while being involved in an internationally recognized regional grouping.
In a draft of a post-summit communique seen by The Associated Press, the leaders included a brief line on the issue, praising an ASEAN disaster-response center for the delivery of relief goods to recent flood and landslide victims in Vietnam, displaced Filipinos in the southern Philippine city of Marawi and "affected communities" in Rakhine in Myanmar.

Automatic Handling In The Mineral Fiber Production Process
Fiberglass direct and assembled roving
Manufactures complete production installations in glass fibers field. In the full automated lines and complete systems, the product is processed from the reeling to the palletizing, with no manual intervention, completely tracked.
Revolving winders are interlocked by doffer systems for doffing and tube insertion, to get the system automatic, safe and reliable. Handling systems are combined to different transport systems, as requested by the various requirements (overhead transport, support racks with laser guided systems, chain transport, etc.), for products full loop management. Direct and assembled roving are processed.
For the assembled roving, after the drying process, the bobbins (cakes) are machined by special machines providing to:
- tube extraction;
- spinning strand capture, for the stripping;
- positioning on the spinning creels;
- rewinding;
- interlocking with robots acting for strands management;
- various controls and weighing; packaging: special devices can pack with no tension on the bobbin (with a special film).
For what concerns the direct roving, special machines provide for stripping and packaging. Different options are available, with contemporary or sequential strand withdrawing. The systems are studied to handle the product untouched and uncontaminated. Many processes are possible, based on pallet forms and combinations. Full tracking solutions.

BALTIMORE (WJZ)–He's spent his life making music, hoping someday one of his songs would make it big. And now it has.
Weijia Jiang explains he's on his way to the Grammys.
Behind every song is a story. The story of "Ain't Leaving Without You" performed by artist Jaheim– who's up for three Grammys this year– started in Baltimore three decades ago.
"I waited 30 years for this song to get recognition," said Karter James, Grammy nominee.
Born and raised in Baltimore City, musician Karter James wrote the song in 1981. Fast forward to a couple years ago when Jaheim's producers were going through a random collection of records.
"And pulled this one record up, 'Help Is On The Way' by a group called The Whatnauts from Baltimore," James said.
So, Jaheim revived it as a love song, which is on his album nominated for best R&B. But James says he wrote it after getting through a battle with partying on the streets. It was a song of inspiration.
"Baltimore had ups and downs, me being from the city conditioned me to be able to deal with the ups and downs," James said.
Now, he's gearing up to go to the Grammy Awards main stage to see how high his song will climb. And he hopes he won't be leaving the show empty-handed.
"We've all won, but everyone would like to carry that trophy home," James said.
This is James' second Grammy nod. In the early 90s he wrote a song for Teddy Pendergrass that was also nominated. This is his first time actually going to the ceremony, though.
Congrats – you did Baltimore proud. Thank you.
Great Story…..Congrats….and Hope you soak it all up.
Seocnd…The groups name is The Whatnauts…..and I've been trying to locate their members or anyone associated with them for over 5 years.
If you know….Holla….thx
Hi James, Giving thanks for the rich blessings God has given to you. I am so happy and full of praise for your blessings. You deserve, handle it with LOVE.
Blessings , Vanda here in Germany
Being from Baltimore and being around you , I know that you deserve it. Accept it in love.
Thanks for doing Baltimore PROUD !
God Bless and thank you . We are very proun of you Linda
Congrats!!! Thank you for proving Baltimore has amazing artists and is still a great city ❤ Best of luck!
Karter, it is an honor to call you friend. You are an amazing songwriter and storyteller. I've said to you before that your gift speaks to hearts from stage and your testimony is one of hope that breathes life into the souls of every listener. Proud to see you get the recognition that you deserve. Know that you have EARNED it through your walk. Keep giving us the good music that you do. The worlds a better place everytime a Karter Jaymes tune is heard. Congratulations brother. -Marc
Thats my man. God is so good.
This is a truly heart-warming interview. Your music transcends time and brings new meaning to every-day experiences. I have a feeling that we are going to hear more of those treasured originals – those that are still in the crates and the ones that the world has yet to hear. I'm very proud of you!
Rashid- I am ever so proud of you.

Argo tells the remarkable true story of a fictitious movie production that helped secure the freedom of six Americans from Iran. The movie earned Best Picture honors earlier this year and reminded viewers of a dramatic chapter in American history.
A Landscape of Lies is also based on a falsehood, but the roots behind it are far more troublesome. And, as it turns out, illegal.
A U.S. film festival has withdrawn an award given to a British movie about a Gulf War veteran seeking justice after a London court jailed five people for making the movie as part of 2.8 million pound ($4.3 million) tax scam.Tax inspectors were told that A-listers from Hollywood would be starring in a 19.6 million pound production that would be shot in Britain.
But the gang never intended to make the film … "The real intent was to defraud the public purse of nearly 1.5 million pounds in VAT along with nearly 1.3 million in film tax credit claims," the HMRC revenue department said.
The movie was made, though, with far less famous faces who apparently were unaware of the fraud in progress.

Week 12: Atlanta Falcons At Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- QuarterbackThe Falcons will go as far as MVP candidate Matt Ryan can take them. Ryan has been consistent since Week One and he seems to be able to extend plays by buying time with his quick feet and superior instincts. That characteristic has allowed him to lift the Falcons to the top of the NFL heap.Josh Freeman is having fun on the football field and that has allowed him to play with freedom in head coach Greg Schiano's system. Freeman has size, strength and the ability to get the ball deep downfield. He is hitting the big play and he is also avoiding interceptions. That's a winning combination.
- OffenseMichael Turner is a power running back who can weaken an opposing defense by delivering a heavy shot with his forearms and shoulders. Roddy White is one of the most dependable receivers in the NFL and he has a great relationship with Ryan. If Julio Jones (ankle) is healthy, he can make game-altering plays.Rookie Doug Martin is a sensational running back who made the NFL take notice when he ran for 251 yards and four TDs in Week Nine vs. the Raiders. Wide receiver Vincent Jackson has been an excellent addition to the Bucs and he has become Freeman's favorite receiver. Mike Williams is a solid complementary receiver.
- DefenseThe Falcons come don't overwhelm you with their statistics, but they know how to make a stand at key moments. Defensive end John Abraham keys the pass rush and he can turn the corner and harass the quarterback. Sean Weatherspoon (ankle) has missed the last three games. Unheralded outside linebacker Stephen Nicholas is a solid tackler and a decent pass defenderThe Bucs play aggressively, but they give up big plays and big yards because the defense is often out of position. Outside linebacker Lavonte David is a big-time hitter who goes sideline-to-sideline to make tackles. Free safety Ronde Barber should be on his last legs, but the 37-year-old is still breaking up passes and making big plays.
- Special TeamsThe Falcons are slightly better than average when it comes to punt and kickoff coverage. Jacquizz Rodgers is a speedster who is a threat to take kickoffs the distance. Placekicker Matt Bryant remains a consistent factor for head coach Mike Smith.The Bucs may have a problem if this game comes down to special teams. They have been beaten badly in both punt and kickoff return differential. Connor Barth is just an ordinary placekicker while Michael Koenen does not have the kind of leg strength that most coaches want from their punter.
The Falcons have an edge in all four categories, but those advantages are not by huge amounts. A win over the Falcons at home would help make Schiano's season and the Bucs will come with their best effort. The game will likely come down to one or defensive stands that the Falcons can make and they should come away with the win.

Hi, I'm a beginner with HTML, and I have found the validator and the W3C pages very helpful in getting me started. However, I am confused by the error message I get when trying to validate the following page: http://www3.sympatico.ca/tyler006/phdprop.html 1. Error Line 42 column 17: document type does not allow element "OL" here; assuming missing "LI" start-tag.
 2. Error Line 49 column 16: document type does not allow element "OL" here; assuming missing "LI" start-tag.
 The error message suggests that my nested
 are not allowed, and should be replaced by a
. From the context of the page this is clearly not what I want. I can, however, pass the validation when I remove the
 tags immediately preceeding each nested
 (ie. at line 41 or 48). I thought that
 tags were optional, but that good practice was to include them so as to make my eventual conversion to XHTML smoother. In this case the validator results indicate that they are not a good idea. Could someone clarify this for me? Thanks for your time, and my apologies if I've sent this to the wrong list! TylerReceived on Sunday, 30 October 2005 22:35:04 UTC

'US using their Africa and Middle East strategy in Ukraine'
Rickard, who also worked for the USAF and the Directorate of National Intelligence, believes that no doubt Yanukovich was very corrupt, and the uprising can't of course be called peaceful, although it started out that way.
"When you are throwing thousands of Molotov cocktails and you are being funded – this is a very strategic network that these NGOs have and they have been operating in Ukraine for decades. These individuals have ties at the greatest levels into humanitarian organizations, all the way up to the best side of the things and all the way down into the fascist organizations for the individuals that will do dirty work for them," Rickard said.
Rickard also argues that "the CIA has operated like this in South America, they have operated like this in Africa" and there is nothing surprising that "they are going to do this in Ukraine."
'Denial of reality'
Foreign policy expert, Nebojsa Malic, believes that the West is sticking to its usual strategy: an "absolute denial of reality when it suits their aims."
"Unfortunately, neither the Europeans nor the Americans generally allow facts to get in the way of a good story and what Mr Kerry said, the fairy tale about peaceful protesters being murdered by the government, that's their fairy tale and they are sticking to it," Malic told RT.
British Labour Party politician and MP Jeremy Corbyn suggests that the Western authorities should address a number of issues related to the Ukrainian crisis, namely the nature of some of the protesters and the question of representation of different nationalities living in Ukraine.
"I think [there are] two issues that the Western governments have got to address: that the far-right forces that were active at the central square in Kiev, quite racist organizations, seem to be largely ignored by the Western media in the run-up to the removal of President Yanukovich; secondly, they have to recognize that any government in Ukraine has got to make itself representative of all the people of Ukraine, whether they are Russian-speaking, Ukrainian-speaking, Tatar people or whatever group they are from. Surely that has to be the right way forward and I hope it will be the way forward. Otherwise, fundamental instability is going to be there for a long time to come," Corbyn said.
He also added that "those forces that were active in opposing Yanukovich's government included very genuine people who were concerned about corruption and efficiency and mismanagement, but they also included some very nasty forces that seem quite happy to be associated with Nazi and neo-Nazi insignia."
Corbyn claims that "what is happening in Ukraine is going to have to be resolved politically" without any foreign intervention.
"I think military intervention by anyone is wrong and I think expansion of NATO beyond its existing area is also wrong and I regret that the Organization for security and cooperation in Europe wasn't given the premier role it should have been given at the end of the Cold War," he told RT.
