New Jersey is nothing if not unique — alleged revenge bridge closings, a superhero mayor turned U.S. Senator, and, of course, Snooki.
But a story out of Bridgeton, N.J., is perhaps best described by resident Barrett Griner: "It's kinda strange."
Last week, Griner walked back from his mailbox, flipping through the normal bills and magazines, when he found something odd — an envelope from the local county clerk's office addressed to an unexpected member of his family.
"I got the mail and I look at it, and I'm like IV Griner, this is my dog's name," Griner tells NBC Philadelphia. "I'm wondering like, what is this? Something from the county office about her vaccinations or something? Like, why is my dog getting mail?"
As it turns out, the Cumberland County Clerk of Courts sent Griner's 5-year-old German Shepherd, IV, a summons for jury duty. No one else in the family shares the same name — not really, anyway. Griner chose the name IV because he is the fourth Barrett Griner in his family, making his full name Barrett Griner IV.
"She's a female, so I named her 'IV' without the 'Y' as sort of a play on words," Griner explains. "Somebody had to physically type that name in they didn't pay any bit of attention to it."
"I had to laugh at it," Griner tells CBS Philly.
But was the county clerk's office really intending to call in a German Shepherd for jury duty? Cumberland County Judiciary Coordinator Dennis Moffa explains all jury summonses are computer-generated out of an office in Trenton. Because of the automated system, name errors and mix-ups are not unheard of.
"This happens many times," Moffa explains. "As an example, if you had John Henry IV, sometimes the notice might just say Henry IV. I think that the computer probably randomly picks some things that are probably not as on point as they should be."
It is conceivable then that the jury duty notice reading "IV Griner" should really have read "Barrett Griner IV."
But Barrett Griner IV is still not 100-percent convinced the summons was intended for him. He says he's received jury summonses before and they have always, without fail, included his full name. Moffa says a quick call to the county clerk's office should clear up all of the confusion.
In the meantime, Griner certainly has a funny "tail" to tell. While IV won't be serving in the jury box anytime soon, Griner can't help buy crack jokes about the possibility of a dog serving a human's civic duty.
"She might be good for a cat burglar case or something like that," Griner quips.

WUKAN, China (Reuters) - Zhuang Liehong, a 28-year-old cigarette and liquor salesman, was fed up. Businessmen were seizing land here in Wukan, his hometown fishing village in southern China. Village officials not only didn't help - they had secretly sold the land. Outside authorities did nothing.
In 2009, Zhuang and a handful of other young villagers launched what they called the Wukan Hot-Blooded Patriotic Youth League. They began with a petition campaign. It was ignored. An early rally drew few supporters.

CORAL GABLES, FL — Carwash employee Trinard Snell was shot and killed at a carwash here three years ago and now it looks like his family will be rewarded $5.7 million, CBS Miami reported.
The Dec. 11 story said Snell's mother, Zoreta, filed a lawsuit claiming the carwash's owners did nothing to protect her son and the carwash customers.
The business had apparently had a history of violent crimes.
Man shot when resisting a carjacking at wash
Snell was sitting under a carwash tent, waiting for the next vehicle when three men came up behind him and tried to rob him and another employee. Snell fled on foot, but was shot and killed while trying to escape.
When asked why she filed the lawsuit, Zoreta said in the story, "I just really don't want this to happen to another family."

Tenth LPD-17 heads Navy unfunded program wish list
The Administration's FY08 budget requests $12.5 billion for new naval ships. This is a $3.5 billion increase over the FY07 appropriations of $9.0 billion for new ship procurement. However, in letter to Congressional leaders dated February 12, the CNO, Admiral Mike Mullen, says that "fiscal choices have resulted in some important programs being under funded."
The letter encloses a list of the Navy's FY 08 Unfunded Program Requirements.
This is a wish list of things that the Navy left out of its formal budget request, but that are nonetheless high priorities. The list is provided annually.
The 2008 Navy list includes 20 items totaling nearly $5.7 billion.
Leading the list is a tenth LPD 17 San Antonio-class amphibious ship at $1.7 billion leads the list. This is followed by two moreT-AKE 1 Lewis and Clark-class dry cargo ships at $1.2 billion to accelerate sealift requirements.

The latest and greatest on CNN iReport, brought to you by Team iReport.
As you can see in Greg Reese's video above, there's been no shortage of varying opinions out there over the past week. iReporters have had a lot to say on many aspects of the death of Osama bin Laden, and what it means for the future.
The newest debate that has been stirred up on CNN iReport, is this past weekend's decision by the Pentagon to release five mostly unflattering videos of bin Laden, confiscated from his compound in Pakistan after the raid which killed him.
"At the face of what Osama Bin Laden has been able to pull off in his holy war, I say this whole attempt to minimize Osama's mystique is laughable," said Jimmy Deol from Toronto. "If anything, it might encourage an average Joe with similar aspirations somewhere in the world to take solace in the fact that an average person can accomplish all that evil."
Veteran political iReporter Egberto Willies from Kingwood, Texas responded to one of Deol's points, saying that bin Laden himself did not change the world, but that he only provided a rationale for war.
Omekongo Dibinga from Washington questioned the decision to release the videos at all: "Had I lost a family member during 911, I would not want to see this over a week after Bin Laden was killed. I've seen Bin Laden on TV more now than I ever have, including directly after 911. We should not be giving him more life after his death."
Another aspect of the bin Laden story that drew controversy was his burial at sea. Jason Dinant of Las Vegas asked if bin Laden deserved to be captured and tried instead of killed (warning: video contains strong language).
Adding to the debate, Hao Li from Los Angeles said, "While I am glad that Osama Bin Laden is dead, I also don't think this is the end of terrorism or the Al Qaeda terrorist network. If anything, I don't think terrorism could ever be defeated."
We invite you to join the debate on CNN iReport. What does bin Laden's death mean for efforts to prevent terrorism, and the future of U.S. military operations overseas? Share your view here.
I am sorry, but for me, the more I see now the more like a hoax this bin laden thing is. bin Laden was visited in 2002 in Yemen by the head of the CIA when he was in the hospital. Look at the video it is obvious it is staged and made to be political. Watching Obama with the finance people. As long as corpratism is ruling our government we will never know what we can believe. I was an Obama believer but he sold out to the same old corporate America. RON PAUL 2012
Videos can be faked. Remember Forrest Gump shaking hands with JFK? Google the video: Osama Bin Laden Video: "I'm Still Alive!"
Let's face it, it took an Obama to get rid of Osama. If it hadn't bin Laden, it might have bin Biden.
Now there's something to think about . . .
Bin Laden is dead. But 9/11 was still an inside job. Google the video: "9/11Truth in 9 Minutes". Visit Architects and Engineers For 9/11 Truth.
Google the movie loose change, or Zeitgeist. Do your own research.
My thoughts on the issue are spartan. First, OBL was taken out with extreme prejudice,the body handled in accordance with Muslim beliefs, thus anything released stands to incite the radicals. It's not about appeasement, it's that there's nothing positive to be gained by appealing to the curious. God bless the US Armed Forces~
They raise more questions than they answer. They seem fake to me and the whole thing is unsettling as I voted for Obama. I just think the" burial at sea", failure to release photos of the corpse and these lame videos just make thinking people doubt the truth has been told.
They hurt, the US gov at least, because they have all been proven to be fakes.
They are walking a fine line...If he looks too pathetic people will say 'How did that pathetic guy manouver the US into attacking 2 countries and killing 100,000 Iraqi citizens, spending a trillion or 2, and having many thousands of it's brave soldierd killed or wounded'.
Obviously, they can't allow him to look good either!
The official story of how Bin Laden died is phony. We have zero photos, zero body, zero evidence...we must take the US gov't word he died in that compound and must believe that is his wife, that DNA was accurately taken within 12 hrs before they dumped him. We will never know who killed him as SEAL TEAM 6 will never be publicly acknowledged. The other guys killed in that compound didn't get shot in the face, why Bin Laden? These videos could have been filmed any time anyplace...he is wearing the same stuff as the 2007 video and same dyed black beard....it does indeed look to be him, why scrub audio? SO that we can not place the context in which the videos were made. And I agree, 9/11 was allowed to happen, and I believe our CIA and the Pakistani ISI were involved. Donald Rumsfeld on mancow muller show two months ago live on air claims he has never heard of the destruction of world trade center 7?!? Come on. That with lies about WMDs and now this b.s. fiasco...cover up, lies....when will our gov't be honest with us?!? I am terrified new domestic attacks will be coming, not at the hand of "terrorists" but at the hands of our hidden government. Please stop. please end the wars.
Orlando Voter - hahahaha wow- you want to vote for Ron Paul, the guy who would deregulate more corporate regulations than any other candidate. After your nonsensical tirade, its no surprise you are a conspiracy theorist too. Read a freaking book dude
The video is ridiculous. He looks much younger than the photos they have shown years ago...does he have access to Just for Men? And who gets a nose job to make it look wider?
Congratulations CNN and other news medias. By regurgitating all the news about Bin Laden you've made him into a hero. His passing should have been nothing more than a small footnote at the end of the news.
the videos was totally fake the osama bin laden in videos was young and why america do not release photos of osama bin ladin when they kill sadam hussain they show there pictures for three days why think........................if you have sense
The government is bad at faking photos and vids and the American people will believe anything. Sad.
If the al-qaeda can produce one Bin-Laden, they can produce more Bin-Ladens. Killing doesn't make the world safer. Congrats to Mr. Obama but his job still very tough and challenging
i would say hurt BIGTIME i have yet to see anyone who thinks it was real and not an act to go to war,or used for some kinda plot to kill people here in the usa then go to war.
America always uses its Weapons of Mass Deception(CNN and Fox) to fool its people and the world. The world has to take their word on any event that happens in the world.
People are always going to believe what they want, regardless of the presence or lack of evidence. Can't do anything about it, but let them fester in their own ignorance.
I am not agreed with american govt. who is usama?
who are Taliban?
who created these people and organization?
the answer is america herself.
now america declare them terrorist, why?
suppose they are terrorist, than it means that america is also a big terrorist, because america is behind all this.
am i right?
i think yes i am right, if no give resons........
Why does CNN engage in debate about things like this? It is inane. Last week the question was "is the killing legal?" Now this. It is basic. A terrorist mass murderer killed thousands. We raided a compound and shot him dead. Great kill. End of story. The videos don't show anything except that Al Queda was still being puppeted by him and he had to work on delivery. Just like Obama uses a teleprompter. Move along CNN.
Also, don't listen to the tin foil group if you have half a brain. No matter what facts are out there they will twist it to meet their own agenda. It makes them feel better about their shortcomings...common sense.
did u people have any prove that usama or taliban was behind 9/11? nothing then how can u say someone terrorist and on what basis?
I think the media asking these stupid and ignorant questions is hurting more than anything else.
I stopped believing the government propaganda long ago. The media is sure trying to pump up the fear this week.
"Also, don't listen to the tin foil group if you have half a brain. No matter what facts are out there they will twist it to meet their own agenda. It makes them feel better about their shortcomings...common sense."
I see someone read the marching orders memo. So who told you to call everyone who questions you a tin hat? CNN? MSNBC? I'm really, who? Because it's obvious that you don't think for yourself. Go crawl in a corner and stay there you phony patriot.
*I mean really
Bin Laden is dead, whether by the official story or not. Now begins new mysterious threats from unknown "terrorists". oBamUSH. The government was patting themselves on the back that they got the 'terrorists handbook'... but in reality, the US had thought of more ways that terrorists could strike than the "terrorists" ever thought up. Give it a month and I'll bet we'll see a new terror alert system (color coded?).
Its all lies. The biggest terrorist in world history and they dump his body at sea, instead of torturing him a bit? We are all for torture now, aren't we?
Mr Bin Bernanke has stolen 28 trillion from the taxpayers of this great country and blocked Congress for over two years of where the money went.
Then a month ago, wikileaks comes out and says if Bin Laden dies, there are 160 nukes buried under federal buildings all around the US, and boom he dies. The USG sells us fear, and most Americans buy into it and demand more. You think three buildings blowing up was bad?, wait until a nuke goes off.
Fill the air in balloon in you spare time and then use a small pin to blow it out to scare people around you and laugh when you are alone....
I feel as Pakistani so sorry to Russia.... for not making them first friend.
Might is right...
I say NO NO NO.
Do the videos hurt or help? That definitely depends on where you stand. I'd say the videos hurt Al Quaida a lot and help the US. Instead of looking like a confident, strong, active man, he looks more like "Ahkmed - the Dead Terrorist." I also read an article about how his theology is so agaisnt mainstream Islam. Somoen should make a really big deal out of that and broadcast it worldwide to show all the terrorists, and potential terrorists, just how flawed their ideas are. These videos, if used wisely, could really help smash Al Quaida, and maybe defuse other terrorist groups.
Nuisance0207, no one told me what to believe or gave me a memo. I am actually the one thinking for myself because I can read Popular Mechanics, who debunked EVERY 9/11 Truther theory. I can do research on almost anything. I have an advanced degree which aided me in critical thinking. People like you take every instance and turn it into a conspiracy because you have no life. If a completely unconnected source tells you you are wrong then your response is that the gov't got to them and told them what to put. You spin and spin and spin where nothing will ever be right in your world. This is black and white. Bad man kills thousands. We kill bad man. End of story. Go look for the bogeyman now.
Karl Rove said that guys like me were ''in what we call the reality-based community,'' which he defined as people who ''believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.'' I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off. ''That's not the way the world really works anymore,'' he continued. ''We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality -- judiciously, as you will -- we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.''
I am actually the one thinking for myself because I can read Popular Mechanics, who debunked EVERY 9/11 Truther theory.
Hmmmmmm, Popular mechanics? Who aare their sponsors? I bet most of them are companies for the military industrial complex.
Supporters of the conspiracy theories have claimed that 9/11: Debunking The Myths is "a propaganda piece" written by "a senior government official's cousin" because Chertoff has the same last name as Department of Homeland Security secretary Michael Chertoff. However, Chertoff has repeatedly denied this claim, most notably in the September 11, 2006 issue of U.S. News & World Report, stating "no one in my family has ever met anyone related to Michael Chertoff".[4] In an audio interview, he noted that any possible relationship would likely only be found in "19th-century Belarus", and that his mother has described any such possible relationship as "distant".[5] However, when phoned at her home in Pelham, NY, and asked whether or not her son Benjamin was related to Homeland Security Secretary, Michael Chertoff, Judy Chertoff replied, "Yes, of course, he is a cousin."
Wow, look at all these people waking up to reality. I can only hope there will not be NFL this year so more and more people will wake up.
In 1871 Albert Pike envisioned three Word Wars to be followed by an unparalleled economic disaster. Pike's plans have come to fruition, shockingly 'on target'. Who is Pike and perhaps more importantly who backed Pike?
You really think that 9/11 was orchestrated by the Government?
Well, let me as you this, how many people would it take to cover it up? Well, you have the whole White House, You would have a few congress-people, which would make it necessary for all of congress to be in on it. This is hundreds of people. And do you really think this would not have been leaked by someone eventually/be put on wikileaks? If the wikileaks people got a hold of this it would probably be on the front page of the site.
If you are not able to realize this I cannot debate this with you because you obviously have a strewed sense of logic.
Please note that the U.S. government has NOT released those gruesome photos - PAKISTAN did. The dead people in the photos could be ANYONE AT ALL. Those of you paranoid enough to think the Obama administration has reason to want to pull wool over your eyes had better wise up to the fact that Pakistan is renowned for such things. There is no proof that OBL was killed differently than was told to us, or that his body was handled in any manner other than what they said. And it's outrageous to think Obama wants to form the basis for starting a war. He's the one who has been ENDING Bush's wars.
It is only those who say that "photos and videos can be faked" who think such a statement proves that they WERE. The U.S. released videos taken at his home. If they can be faked, why do people WANT to accept the validity of PAKISTAN's gruesome photos? Don't the same standards for generating suspicion apply to all? Or does partisanship dictate who is truthful and who is lying?
Of course, there's a lot of American hate (racism particularly) and right-wing partisanship involved here; by now, we ought to know how to ignore such people.
The Muslims are screeching again. Such dainty, delicate sensitivities they have - except that they have NONE of such things for US.
Burial at sea - happens. Even to Muslims. If Muslims are at sea and one of them dies, do you really think they'd preserve the corpse for a few months till they can get back to land and "bury it properly, with proper rituals"? I think Muslim corpses stink just as fast, and just as bad, as ours do. Don't quote me on that, tho.
They just want US to think that burying a Muslim body at sea is somehow not permitted in Islam. So they can make a stink about it.
As usual, they lie. They're mad because they didn't get a corpse to worship, and because they WANT to make a stink about anything they possibly can concerning OBL's death. Tough rocks, guys.
And quite frankly, where OBL is concerned, why should WE care two potatoes whether he gets a proper Islamic burial or not? He sure didn't care one bit about OUR people who died in his multitude of attacks. He cared nothing if Muslims desecrated the corpses of OUR people they'd killed, like dragging them thru the streets. Yet his body wasn't exploited or publicized, and wasn't deliberately desecrated, which is far more than he deserved.
By WHOSE measure does HE deserve a more respectful treatment of his corpse than WE deserved when it was HE - and his worshipful followers - who had OUR peoples' corpses? He got it, though.
Tell those screeching Muslims where to stuff it. Their hero got better treatment for his corpse than any of them would give to ours. It wasn't abused. It was buried at sea, and even Muslims have to have rituals for doing that. The choice to bury at sea is fairly clear, too.
They didn't want there to be a grave where people could make a shrine for worshipful pilgrimage. Anyone who worshiped that turd doesn't deserve such shrines.
If the world's Muslims don't like it, they can lump it. Their wishes and desires are not the only ones in this world that COUNT - though to watch and listen to them, it's clear that they DO think that way. Nothing will ever teach them that OUR wishes and desires - even our NEEDS (such as continuing to breathe) - count for anything at all. They think THEY are the master race, the ones their sadistic god wants to be dominant in the whole world. What they think, though, doesn't make it so.
If the family of OBL wants proof, we can show THEM the photos, the DNA evidence, and other evidence picked up at that mansion of his, that proves he's gone. If that isn't enough for them, too bad. We don't owe them anything more. If they say the proof isn't enough, too bad.
Go ahead, label me an Islamophobe if it pleases you. I have studied this "faith" since 1994, and know more about it than many Muslims do. So my negative opinion of Islam is NO prejudice; it is a STUDIED OPINION. Those who think Islam is tolerant, peaceful, moderate, etc. are the people who ARE prejudiced - in its favor, and without any facts. The statements given them by Muslims will ALWAYS be lies, and they ought to know that by now. Their opinions aren't opinions at ALL - they're attitudes, because none of you has done a genuine STUDY to get the facts of Islam. You just listen to governments and media, ask questions of a few lying Muslims - all of those being second-hand, and biased sources - and you then accept the warm-fuzzy attitudes. Meanwhile, Muslims are already actively taking over the world, and your eyes are SHUT. Which is precisely how the Muslims of the world want you to be.
Denying a visible threat to our lives and countries is anti-survival. Be that way, if it suits you. Otherwise get busy and STUDY Islam's own texts for the realities. If you have the courage to face them, that is.
Ahh, Topher? Despite any advanced degrees you may have, and despite what you read in Popular Mechanics (?), you show a vast ignorance when you say that it "debunked every 9/11 truther theory." You see, there's a little matter of the Laws of Thermodynamics. Your comments basting your ego about your "critical thinking" are a bit inane, since you promptly prove that you don't know what critical thinking even IS, and rely on pulps like Popular Mechanics to tell you about science. As for me, I prefer opinions from the professionals - metallurgists, physicists, architects, etc. In Europe, THEIR demolition people have stated flatly that the towers were brought down by pros in their own field. Yet you think Popular Mechanics has greater authority? Dohh.
Do you know anything about these laws of physics? Maybe you still need some lessons on critical thinking. You assume anyone who disagrees with you has "no life." That's not exactly good critical thought, pal.
Methinks YOU have bought into a bit of "spin" from the mags you read.
Please take careful NOTE: The Laws of Thermodynamics apply, universally, throughout the cosmos. They are NOT variable or changeable. Not even by Bush/Cheney. Got it?
Now when it is said that airplanes "vaporized" and gargantuan steel girders "melted," it's a flat LIE. A temperature capable of doing that would have to be at least 2000 F. higher than anything jet fuel can provide. Just HOW did they spin things to get you to believe otherwise? Did the Laws of Thermodynamics just go "on hold" that day?
The greatest likelihood is that Bush knew of the attack and let it happen. But he planned ways to AUGMENT it after the first terrorists hit one of the towers. He had another plane ready, and missles for the Pentagon and Pennsylvania.
No airplane hit Pentagon or that field. There'd be wreckage galore, and the hole in the Pentagon would have to be bigger than the 16-19 feet diameter, and couldn't possibly be circular, which it was. The wings and engines didn't just go poof before striking, or do you think they did?
We don't need "spin" to know that much of 9/11 WAS an inside job. It couldn't have been anything else. What we do NOT have is proof of who the perps were, and without that, just knowing our government did most of it isn't enough. It is known what was done, and known that people in our government planned and executed it, but proof as to WHO did WHAT isn't available - hence, no trials can be held.
I'm a liberal. Liberals are SUPPOSED to respect education and knowledge, and to accept REALITIES, however ugly. I doggedly resisted having to accept these horrific and ugly realities, but the evidence of my own eyes - not to mention of science - made it impossible to ignore them. I didn't WANT to think my own govt - even BUSH - would consider doing such a thing, for any reason. I had no choice but to accept the fact that they surely did. Not wanting to believe it isn't reason enough to do so in spite of clear evidence. Unless you want to hide in fear, or cover up an agenda.
Which is what most Americans prefer to do, rather than to face such ugly realities. One day, it'll surely cost us.
Like it or not, MOST of 9/11 was, uh, "your tax dollars at work"??
This is a place for reporting stuff. Well I want to report that I have been "gagged" by some kind of hacker on CNN's SoundOff boards - all of them.
It's simple. Instead of genuine text fields for comments and replies, an overlay that looks just like them keeps me from commenting. The overlays will not accept a cursor.
Since this is the SECOND time this has happened, I'd like to know if someone can tell me how to track this hack/malware down and get rid of it. Last time I had to format C:. Somebody obviously doesn't like what I say, and has effectively cut me off.
I've written CNN, but they didn't help last time. Still, I don't think they, or disqus and other providers are doing this to me. It's a private person, a hacker, who very likely has access to CNN, disqus, etc., maybe as an employee. This is an attack targeted at me by someone who really DOES think I have no right to free speech.
I use this same login name on SoundOff. Please reply to this posting if you have any good ideas. I have no doubt they'll do this again, too. It's already gummed me up twice. And thanks for any help.
The Penghu, Islands also known as Pescadores (from Portuguese "fishermen") are an archipelago between Taiwan and China mainland off the western coast of Taiwan in the Taiwan Strait consisting of 90 small islands and islets covering an area of 127 square kilometers. Its population now at 97,000.
In the Treaty of San Francisco (September 8, 1951), Japan renounced sovereignty over Taiwan and Penghu but left their final disposition unsettled. Although Taiwan and Penghu have administered by R.O.C. (Republic of China) now, but do not belong to R.O.C. If Taiwan and Penghu recognize R.O.C. will trap into "One China Policy" as now T.P.R.O.C. (The People's Republic of China) is legal government and R.O.C. is rebel organization.
thanks hhanks great assignment
Bin Laden became the straw man for much of what ails the U.S. His being able to evade much of what passes for "intelligence" for such a long time has made him a legend. A few years ago it was reported that bin he had a double who would take his hits, and one has to wonder whether the reported bin Laden death actually involved bin Laden. The U.S.-reported bit about DNA comparisons, etc. are suspicious because those generally take far longer than the reported time frame between the death and the disposal of the body. The al-Qaeda confirmation of bin Laden's death may have been done to take the heat off of the real bin Laden if in fact he was not killed. The entire story appears to be something out of a spy novel with numerous plot devices which have not been resolved.
One Osama fell down, but hundreds of thousands of them get up. This is a world not controlled by Bin Laden only.

North Carolina Animal Welfare Coalition
802 River Hill Drive
Greenville, NC 27858
ph: (252) 367-3928
It's been a busy year as we've worked together for changes to laws that penalize compassion toward cats, requested reform of Greenville animal services, and documented cruelties and suffering of animals confined to factory farms in our state. World Day for Farmed Animals was a great success.
Pigs kept at Wells Livestock flea market remain in miserable conditions that include lying in standing water; open wounds and medical condions such as tumors, prolapsed vagina and rectum; lameness; large scrape wounds. They remain in these pens for several days until they are carted off for slaughter. We are asking for improvements.
We are taking a proposal to the North Carolina General Assembly requesting space for all farmed animals including pigs, chickens, turkeys, cows, and any other farmed animal.
Requested Changes to Greenville Trap-Neuter-Return Ordinance
I. Overview
•Feeding: Eliminate the feeding ban for cats.
Community cats are neither owned nor stray. Their distinctive status should be acknowledged and codified into the law.
Programs to manage and reduce cat overpopulation depend upon this understanding.
•Registration: Registration should protect the colonies. Citizens will be willing to register if they understand that this step will protect their cats.
For three or fewer cats, registration is recommended but not required.
•General: Animal Protective Services and animal advocates should work together to resolve the challenges involved in managing community cats in our city.
Communication and cooperation should be a goal for all parties involved in this work.
Make sure animal services can notify property owners in an expedient manner prior to trapping taking place, so there is no delay in helping cats and kittens in need.
Remove blanket approval for animal services to enter the home or premises of anyone registered as a caregiver. They may have the ability to enter the exterior premises where trapping is occurring.
Let experienced groups have the ability to do their own notifications and door tagging. Keep the location of the colonies protected information.

This is one of the big questions in 2016 (and each of the past few years as well).
Have the "traditional" unified data protection solutions caught up in reliability and agility to the degree that the need for "point products" that only protect VMs are no longer necessary? To help answer the question, I've recorded a short video:

Home comforts for Sandro
Sandro has praised the work of a Premier League project in Rio after meeting 10 young people who have had their lives transformed by an 'Inspired by Kickz' scheme.
The youngsters from the Esporte Seguro [Safe Sport] programme spent three days with the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation last week as part of a trip-of-a-lifetime to London.
Esporte Seguro operates in the Morro dos Prazeres favela in Rio de Janeiro, an area with high levels of deprivation and crime.
The initiative uses the Kickz model of engaging youngsters through football in some of the most challenging areas with the aim of creating safer and more respectful communities.
Kickz has proved to be an enormous success in England having first been piloted by the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation on the Ferry Lane estate back in 2006, and now it has been exported to other countries such as India, Indonesia and Brazil.
Esporte Seguro, run by the Premier League through Premier Skills in partnership with the British Council, has been active since December 2011 with over 280 young people attending events such as football training and citizenship classes.
During their week in London, the youngsters visited the Cub's training ground, where they watched some of their heroes in action, and afterwards they were able to meet stars such as fellow countrymen Sandro and Heurelho Gomes, as well as Gareth Bale, Aaron Lennon and Emmanuel Adebayor.
Sandro hosted a question and answer session with the youngsters, offering them advice and encouragement.
"I went through the same things they are going through," he said. "Their lives are very similar to mine, studying, training and then helping back at home.
"It's very important that these schemes take place and I'm really glad to hear that projects like this are taking place in my country."
The youngsters also had a tour of White Hart Lane stadium as well as seeing Kickz in action for themselves at one of the Foundation's eight projects at Northumberland Park.
"Anytime you can bring different cultures together is fantastic, it can only be a positive," said Tottenham Hotspur Foundation Chief Executive, Grant Cornwell MBE.
"Football has that unique ability to engage, motivate and break down barriers. You don't need to speak the same language. Watching them together you wouldn't know they were from different continents.
"We are in a unique position as a football club to really engage and to help motivate and inspire our young people.
"The ambition is to reach as many young people as possible, to help change as many young people's lives as possible."

UPDATE: No, Maya's not leaving SNL after all, so just look at the pretty picture in this post and ignore the rest!
She's in. She's out. She's coming back. No, she's not. The rumors have been floating around for a while now, but EW.com insists that Maya Rudolph has resigned from, rather than re-signed with, Saturday Night Live. There's no official statement yet, but some blogs cite personal and family reasons rather than money or screen time. SNL returns this coming Saturday; this would have been Rudolph's eighth season.
The worst thing about this, other than the fact that we'll no longer get to see Maya's side-splitting impressions of Whitney Houston, Oprah Winfrey or Donatella Versace — or see her "translate" for Fred Armisen's kooky Prince or play Nooni to his Nuni — is that her departure leaves only two female cast members on SNL, Amy Poehler and Kristen Wiig. And although each of those women possesses more talent than any three of the male cast members put together, that's a ridiculously low percentage — even for a show that has a crappy track record of giving women their due.
I'll miss you, Maya, but I wish you a happy life and a movie career that's more like Molly Shannon's than Victoria Jackson's. Hold on tight to the Shrek stuff!

The joys of obsessive game fans have turned up a nice surprise. IGN's own Violenj317 stumbled upon a handful of users playing "Pimps at Sea (Alpha)" on Xbox Live. Those who regularly read bungie.net know that Pimps at Sea has been a long-running Bungie joke.
New0001, one of the users playing Pimps at Sea, is also the default user name in the original Halo. While there is nothing to directly confirm Pimps is the Alpha version of Halo 3, we can confirm that a known Bungie employee was playing PAS at the same time.
What does this mean? Bungie has progressed beyond the point of playing Halo 3 on Microsoft's test servers (where most debug games are played) and are now playing on Microsoft's public servers. Beyond that? Nothing really, since none of us are pimpin' on the sea. At least, not yet.
The Halo 3 public beta goes live in spring 2007.

Cigars, Cigarillos and Little Cigars
A cigar is defined "as a roll of tobacco wrapped in leaf tobacco or in a substance that contains tobacco, whereas a cigarette is defined as "any roll of tobacco wrapped in paper or in any substance not containing tobacco." Large traditional cigars contain at least one-half ounce of tobacco, which is as much as an entire pack of cigarettes, and takes one to two hours to smoke. The newest generation of cigars is very different from traditional cigars. A cigarillo is a short and narrow cigar that contains around three grams of tobacco and (usually) does not contain a filter. A little cigar is a small cigar that is close to the same size as a cigarette, and includes a filter. Little cigars and cigarillos are smoked in the same way as cigarettes. There is an emphasis on flavoring, small package sizes and low cost.
Health Risks
Cigar use results in the same health conditions as traditional cigarette use including heart disease, cancer and lung disease. Cigars contain high levels of nicotine, making them addictive. Even if the cigar smoker does not inhale the nicotine, it is still absorbed through the lining of the mouth. Secondhand smoke exposure also results in adverse health such as lung cancer, respiratory disease, and even sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) among babies.

Harpsichord player Mahan Esfahani is joining Manchester Camerata for three concerts - 25 November in Colne, 27 November in Manchester and 2 December in Ulverston.
Mahan Esfahani is currently the first harpsichordist to be named a BBC New Generation Artist and to be a member of the roster of the Borletti-Buitoni Trust. He's fast gaining international recognition as a soloist and collaborative artist on the harpsichord, fortepiano and organ in both early and contemporary repertoire.
Esfahani studied as a President's Scholar at Stanford University, where his principal mentor was the musicologist George Houle; he went on to pursue his performance studies under the supervision of the Australian harpsichordist Peter Watchorn and the Italian organist Lorenzo Ghielmi before setting in the United Kingdom as Artist-in-Residence at New College, Oxford.
|Mahan Esfahani talks about the harpsichord and its place in the recital room and on larger stages, and discusses why he is lucky to lay claim to the works of Bach in his concerts.

Walks talks: Legendary keeper answers fans' questions
04 December 2013|Tottenham Hotspur
Legendary goalkeeper Ian Walker took time to answer fans' questions on a visit to the Training Centre on Tuesday.
'Walks', who played over 300 times for us between 1991-2001 and lifted the League Cup in 1999, popped in to watch Tony Parks train with the goalkeepers on a whistle-stop visit from his work as goalkeeper coach to Shanghai Shenhua in the Chinese Super League.
The questions came flooding in for the former England international – here are just a few...
Who was the best defender you played behind? From John Hearson @londonboyjohn
Ian Walker: "Gary Mabbutt was a fantastic defender. Mr Consistent & what he went through with his diabetes makes him a great inspiration."
@IanWalks1 what was your favourite save? From Ben Rosenthal @Ben_Rosenthal
Ian Walker: "I'd have to say against Man Utd, close-range from Cantona and I just threw up a hand. We went on to win 4-1."
Who do you think is the best player you have played with in your career? From Brandon Hammé @brandon_hamme
Ian Walker: "Klinsmann, Sheringham, Gascoigne, Lineker, Ginola… There's so many. If I have to pick one it be Gazza. He was outstanding!"
I'm a big fan, you are the reason I wanted to be a goalkeeper. What age did u start goalkeeping? From martin bryan @tintinbryan1985
Ian Walker: "I'd say at 9 or 10 years old but before that I actually used to play as a striker for my primary school."
You had interesting kits in your time did u have a hand in any of the designs? From John Benfield @Benfield13
Ian Walker: "No, I had no input into the goalkeeping kits whatsoever! I certainly would have tried to change a few if I did."
What was your best season as a Spurs player and why? From Haris Setyo Utomo @Harispurs

Non-governmental organizations have started an American-style summer camp in South Africa to help combat the spread of AIDS and provide emotional support to children whose families have been affected by the disease.
Camp Sizanani looks a lot like a traditional American summer camp - something not found in South Africa. There are dormitories and sports fields, theater classes and swimming lessons. It's in the rural setting of the Magaliesberg Mountains. But the almost 100 campers, all boys from local townships, are attending the week-long session for more than fun.
Most of the boys here, although not all of them know it, come from families where at least one person is infected with HIV. Some of the campers are infected themselves.
In between the arts and crafts classes and the nighttime talent shows, camp counselors are teaching the boys about AIDS in a personal, frank way, and helping them prepare for the havoc the disease is wreaking on their families and communities.
AIDS issues are tackled head on. Counselor Lawrence Ndou, himself a young man from Soweto, says most of the boys have already heard the information about HIV and AIDS, but don't believe it.
"Believe you me, most kids here at this camp, they have engaged in sex," he says, "and it was a shocking discovery for me that most of them have engaged in unprotected sex. I was kind of, basically horrified. And I was a little angry, but I kept it within myself."
Mr. Ndou says he tries to debunk many of the boys' myths, like a commonly held one that the lubrication on condoms contains worms. He opens packs of condoms and challenges them to find the worms.
While the boys say the AIDS classes are interesting, for most, like Thabanga Mpanza, 15, the best part of camp is simply the chance to relax.
"We are here to have fun," he says. "This is the first time in South Africa that they have this camp and we're just taking part to see where it can take us, because most of our friends are committing themselves to crime and doing things that they are not supposed to be doing, so we just wanted to get off the streets."
Camp director Philip Lilianthal says that while the AIDS classes are important and the sports are fun, the camp provides something seemingly very simple that these children don't always get at home - personal attention.
"For example, initially we were going to switch tables every meal and have all the counselors get to know all the kids, and the kids were so emotionally attached to the counselors right away that they didn't want them to switch," he explains. "I think the emotional needs are so obviously, and they respond so beautiful to the attention that we're giving them, that it was just beyond our expectations that way."
This was the first of six planned one-week sessions during school holidays this year, and organizers hope the idea will spread to other parts of South Africa, and to other countries in the region. The camp will be followed up clubs the boys can attend on the weekends.
Camp Sizanani is run by an American non-governmental organization, World Camps, in cooperation with a program at Chris Hani Baragwanath hospital in Soweto.
HIV/AIDS counselor Michelle Schorn, who represents the hospital in the camp's management, says the change in the campers in just one week was impressive.
"As they drove in here, they weren't friendly with each other, they would like give each other a push," she says. "The difference now, you'll see, they hold hands and walk together. [If] someone falls down when they play soccer, two or three guys go and help them up. That difference is so visible, it's incredible."
As camp drew to an end this week, most of the boys were sad to leave. But still, seeing a microphone, they burst into song.
Although it was about much more, most of the boys simply said camp had been lots of fun.

Seven million women and one million men suffer from anorexia nervosa and bulimia
Eating Quiz: Do I have a healthy Food and Weight Outlook?
Take a few moments to complete a free, anonymous survey to determine if you have a healthy attitude about food.
If you have completed the survey and have found that you may have a problem with body image, weight or your outlook on food. Please talk to someone from Health Services or Counseling Services.

Variety is important. Vary the kinds of food that you need -- no single food can provide you with all the essential nutrients your body needs.
Foods from the grain products group should be used as the basis, not the only component, of a healthy diet. Include fruits, vegetables, dairy and protein to round out a healthy meal.
Many people choose vegetarian diets for a variety of reasons. Vegetarians sometimes do not get enough protein and other vitamins, iron, zinc etc., found in meats. Look for other ways to obtain these nutrients-eggs, tofu, beans etc.
Women need more calcium and iron in their diets than men. There are many low-fat and fat-free ways to obtain the calcium your body needs. Iron can be obtained through lean meats, whole-grain breads etc.
For more healthy eating information and tips contact the Sheila Tucker, MA, RD, CSSD,LDN in the Office of Health Promotion. To Schedule an appointment, call 617-552-9900 or email email@example.com * Please include availability on Tuesdays and Thursday between 9am and 5pm

- alienation from self and others
- physiological imbalances which are potentially life-threatening.

text: Remember the dead - fight for the living 30 April 2014 Unite London & Eastern members, mainly from our Construction sector, demonstrated at two separate locations in central London on International Workers Memorial Day on Monday 28 April. The first demonstration was outside the Qatar embassy in Mayfair to highlight the plight of building workers forced to work in conditions akin to slavery. Hundreds of building workers, mainly from the Indian sub continent, have died due to the brutal conditions, working on sites building new football stadiums for the World Cup in 2018. Many are not paid at the end of long contracts. Workers cannot leave Qatar unless they get the permission of the government. Those raising genuine issues concerning wages or safety on sites are held as virtual prisoners and have their wages withheld. This is as close as it gets to modern day slavery. Gail Cartmell, Unite AGS and Steven Murphy GS of UCATT led a delegation which handed in a protest letter to the embassy. Kwasi Agymeng-Prempeh, our newly re-elected Executive Council member joined the protest. Great to see our new Territorial Executive delegates showing support for this important issue. Football fans need to get organised next season, to bring pressure on FIFA to withdraw its backing for Qatar hosting the World Cup while these inhumane conditions exist. The second protest to commemorate International Workers Memorial Day took place at Tower Hill at the Building Worker Statue. A lone piper played a lament and black balloons were released at the end to highlight the deaths of workers in their workplaces over the last year. Four building workers have died in central London building sites alone over the last few months. UCATT and Unite members were present to hear the speeches from the Construction Safety Campaign and The London Hazards Centre.

Cal Drops Lipscomb In Three Sets To Cruise Into NCAA Second Round
Dec. 4, 2009
Courtesy of California
COLUMBUS, Ohio - The ninth-seeded California volleyball team (19-10, 11-7 Pac-10) eliminated Lipscomb (28-4, 20-0 Atlantic Sun) in three sets (25-15, 25-22, 25-9) on Friday, Dec. 4, in the first round of the 2009 NCAA Division I Women's Volleyball Championship at St. John Arena. The Golden Bears were led by senior outside hitter Hana Cutura's 20 kills (1e, 36att, .528); while sophomore outside hitter Tarah Murrey added 10 kills (1e, 21att, .429) in Cal's eighth consecutive first-round victory.
The Bears attacked at a season-high .453 rate and earned 44 kills (5e) on 86 attacks while out-blocking Lipscomb, 8.0-1.0. The Cal defense held the Bison to a .120 attack percentage with 29 kills (18e) on 92 attacks. Cutura moved ahead of Stanford's Logan Tom (1999-02) for fifth place in Pac-10 career kills and now has 1,951. Senior libero Kristen Kathan led all players with 13 digs and registered the 10th-best Cal single-season mark for digs with 424 this year. Murrey added eight digs with junior setter Carli Lloyd putting in seven to go with her 38 assists. Senior middle hitter Mindi Wiley had five kills (0e, 8att, .625) and led the team with four blocks; one solo.
Lipscomb junior outside hitter Meghan Hinemeyer led the Bison with nine kills (4e, 22att, .227) with junior middle hitter Alex Kelly adding eight kills (5e, 24att, .125) to go with a team-high nine digs. Freshman outside hitter Kaycee Green put in six kills (4e, 26att, .077) for Lipscomb.
Cal claimed the first six points of the third set and jumped out to a 9-1 advantage as freshman middle hitter Tia Gaffen and Cutura teamed up to stuff an attack by Kelly. With Murrey serving, the Bears didn't let up and earned four straight points on kills to take an 18-5 lead. Lipscomb ended the Cal run when Hinemeyer got a kill but the Bears came right back to seize set point at 24-7 as Kelly sent a shot out of bounds. After Green's line-shot turned into a kill, the Bison inserted senior opposite hitter Kaley Mohr to serve. Mohr earned a service ace to make the score 24-9 before her next serve went into the net to end the match in a 3-0 sweep for the Bears. Cal committed just one attacking error in the final set to tack up a .462 attack percentage (13k, 1e, 26att) and out-did the Bison attack by holding Lipscomb to five kills (8e, 32att) for a negative .094 attack rate.
Cal never trailed in the first set and pulled out to a 10-4 lead on consecutive kills by Wiley and Murrey. The Bears committed just one attack error in the set and posted a .524 attack rate with 14 kills (1e, 24att). Freshman opposite hitter Correy Johnson took a quick set as she came across the middle of the court and sent it to the floor for a kill and a 19-9 Cal lead before the Bison made a short push to earn two straight points on kills by Hinemeyer. With the lead at eight, Lloyd put up a high ball from her knees to give Cutura her sixth kill (0e, 9att, .667) of the set and a 22-13 advantage. The Bears earned set point as a Bison serve went long before Kelly sent the next Lipscomb attack out of bounds to give Cal the 25-15 win. The Bears held the Bison to a .138 attack percentage in the opening set (10k, 6e, 29att).
The Bears found themselves in a dog-fight of a second set when Lipscomb took its first lead of the match, 6-5, as Hinemeyer earned a kill off the Cal block. The Bison continued to lead until Johnson connected with Lloyd on a slide play to lock things up at eight all. Lipscomb replied to the lead once more and pulled out in front by three points at 15-12 as a Cal attack went out of bounds. The Bears pushed back once more and caught the Bison at 16-all on a service ace by sophomore setter Kristin Obermeyer before taking the final lead of the set at 19-18 on a solo block by Wiley. Lipscomb fought to stay close but a kill by Cutura gave the Bears set point at 24-22. Wiley and Johnson got together on the last play of the set to turn away a Hinemeyer attack and give the Bears a 2-0 lead going into the break. The Bears continued to hit efficiently to earn 17 kills on 36 attacks (3e, .389) and managed to stay ahead of a Lipscomb attack that posted 14 kills (4e, 31att) for a .323 attack percentage.
Cal will return to the court to face the winner of host Ohio State (24-9, 12-8 Big Ten) versus Cincinnati (25-10, 12-2 Big East) in a second-round match at 7 p.m. ET on Saturday, Dec. 5, at St. John Arena.
California Post-Match Quotes
Rich Feller, California head coach
On the match
"It's great to get a win, obviously. You come into the first round, travel a long way and you really don't know what to expect from your first and second round opponents. We just had to focus on ourselves. I think our team did a good job of making some adjustments after game two and that was fun. We ran our offense and had some incredible hitting percentages tonight."
Hana Cutura, senior outside hitter
On California's play
"We did our job tonight and we are happy to move to the next round. We still need to work on our passing and serving. Although we didn't have many serving errors, we didn't serve them as tough as I would like to."
Tarah Murrey, sophomore outside hitter
On California's third set
"We went to the locker room and talked about being more efficient on the court and paying more attention to detail. We went out in the third game and were ready to play volleyball."
Lipscomb Post-Match Quotes
Brian Rosenthal, Lipscomb head coach
On the match
"We are happy to be in the tournament but in all reality, for this program's sake and this team's sake, we wanted to go to the next level. Unfortunately, that did not happen for us tonight but in the future you will see us many, many times again. Credit to Cal and its players and staff. They did a fantastic job tonight and will give a lot of teams trouble through this tournament."
Stefine "Jake" Pease, junior setter
On the second set
"We just worried about what was on our side of the net. We got away from worrying about what they were doing and focused more on what we were going to do and wanted to do."
On the experience
"The first year we made the tournament we were just freshmen. Coming into the tournament was an exciting experience the first time, but this time we wanted more."
Alex Kelly, junior middle hitter
On the experience
"I don't think gaining knowledge or experience has anything to do with this tournament. It's just another volleyball game and we are supposed to play the way we played all season. We came here and didn't play the way we have all season long and played a great team that hopefully will do well in this tournament."
