Q: Does it matter what color pond dye I use for my pond? – Jen in West Virginia
A: With a wide variety of dyes appearing in the pond industry, how do you choose the one that's best for you?
Black dye, blue dye, dyes with bluish green or blackish blue, concentrated dye, dyes with added bacteria…..some pond guys and gals may find themselves asking, "What does any of this mean to me?" or just plain "HELP!".
One thing that we can all agree on is that these pond dyes are no longer perceived as singularly decorative or unimportant to maintaining a healthy pond. Although adding dye to your pond does enhance its visual appeal, it also plays a major part in preventing algae attacks by restricting the amount of sun exposure your pond floor receives. How many of us can truly say that less algae outbreaks is a bad thing?
Black or Blue……Why Not Both?
Now that we've cleared the air about dye's importance in your pond, there is only one question left to ask: "What's your favorite flavor?"
Previously, the process of adding color to your pond involved the simple process of grabbing what was on your retailer's shelf taking it home and dumping it into your pond. Pretty easy right? How about pretty boring? What if you don't want your pond to be bright blue? What if you don't want it to look like a Caribbean oasis? This is where options become a good thing. So which to choose?
Black: Perfect for natural looking ponds in wooded areas where you want a reflective surface to show off the surrounding landscape. Black DyeMond™
Blue: You have a manicured yard with lush green grass and the true blue color beautifully offsets the scenery. Nature's Blue™
Twilight Blue™: So you wanted the best of both worlds? Now you can have it. Thanks to your input we are proud to present Twilight Blue™. If you want a little blue in your water but you don't want your pond to contrast its surroundings too much. You will achieve ample color while also creating an attractive, rich look. Twilight Blue™
Aqua-Blue: The Caribbean color looks great with sandy beaches and tropical landscape and can turn your pond into our aforementioned oasis. Aquashade
POND TALK: So which is YOUR favorite color? Share with us pictures of your favorite colored pond!

Subscribe To Star Wars: Episode VII Is Looking To Cast Really Ugly People Updates
I've already subscribed
Hey, remember when Star Wars: Episode VII dropped a stupid number of casting announcements in one shocking swoop? Well, JJ Abrams and company aren't done with lining up actors and actresses to play the principal roles, and apparently, if the latest whispers are to be believed, they're in the process of casting a ton of extras too. So, if you're interested in being in Star Wars, now is your chance, at least provided you live in England and are ugly.
That's right. The announcement comes courtesy of Movie Casting Call, and while that website doesn't exactly scream professionalism or trust, the nuts and bolts of the story seem to be backed up by Casting Collective. The former overtly refers to the project as Star Wars: Episode VII, while the later only tags the project a "Major New Feature Film" in the London area. Both, however, are sounding the alarm for "unusual", "characterful" and strange-looking people to fill the background of one or more scenes.
Movie Casting Call gets a little more blunt about it. Here's their description…
"Interesting looks. Character faces, memorable eye-catching looks, unusual type looks. This could be people with strong physical features, facial scars, big beards, long hair, bad teeth, large facial features, dreadlocks, or interesting ethnic appearances such as darker skin or light eyes."
Bad teeth? Facial scars? Large facial features? Let me just boil all of this down for you. If this casting announcement is legitimate, which is still an if, than Star Wars: Episode VII is pumped up about lining the back of some bars or weird alien planets with ugly humans. It's just a straight up fact, but luckily, since a ton of ugly people a) love Star Wars and b) have a good sense of humor about themselves, I would expect the movie to have more than enough applicants who would gladly show up whenever and wherever if it meant getting vaguely famous among the Jedis.
Exactly why someone would fake a casting announcement is unclear, but far stranger things have happened when it comes to Star Wars. That being said, if you really feel like you might be good for one of these potential roles because you have a weirdo hook nose or comically small hands or TJ Miller-like facial hair, I would definitely suggest applying through Casting Call Collective. Worst case scenario, you'll just end up in some other major motion picture.

12 Fun Facts About Dollywood
I spent last weekend running around Dollywood, the amusement park created by country singer Dolly Parton. In addition to having a ton of fun, I learned a ton when I was there—not just about Parton, but about the area, too. Here's a sampling.
1. Dollywood is in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, which was named for an iron forge owned by Isaac Love in the 1820s. The forge, in turn, was named for the Little Pigeon River, which got its name from the flocks of passenger pigeons that used to live in the area (the birds are now extinct).
2. The park wasn't always Dollywood. It originally opened in 1961 as a small tourist attraction called Rebel Railroad. In 1970, it was purchased by Art Modell—then owner of the NFL's Cleveland Browns—and renamed Goldrush Junction. Herschend Enterprises bought the park in 1976, and renamed it Silver Dollar City. Ten years later, when Parton came on board, the park was dubbed Dollywood. (You can see the first visitor's guide at the Dollywood Facebook page.) "I always thought that if I made it big or got successful at what I had started out to do, that I wanted to come back to my part of the country and do something great, something that would bring a lot of jobs into this area," she said when Dollywood celebrated its 25th operating season in 2010. The park is the #1 employer in Sevier County
3. The park is located on 150 acres near Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and is themed around the history of the Smokys, life there, and preservation of the mountains. There's even a "multi-sensory musical experience" dedicated to the area, called Heartsong.
4. On some of the days soon after its May 1986 opening, traffic to get into Dollywood stretched for six miles down U.S. 441. The park had its one millionth visitor just five months after opening; during the first season, it had 1.34 million visitors. (These days, Dollywood has 2.5 million visitors annually.)
5. Dolly grew up in Sevierville, Tennessee, the fourth of 12 siblings. "We had two rooms, a path, and running water, if you were willing to run to get it," she once said. There's a replica of the two-room cabin at Dollywood, filled with many authentic items from her old home. The cabin was built by Parton's brother, and her mother helped recreate the interior. The original cabin still stands.
6. There's a museum called Chasing Rainbows, devoted to Dolly's life, in the park; it features replicas of the room where she went to school, items from her childhood, costumes from her movies and performances, the numerous awards she's won, and walls upon walls of photos of the entertainer with actors, musicians, and presidents—many of them signed. (Former Home Improvement star Jonathan Taylor Thomas wrote on his photo with Dolly, "It was an honor meeting you. You are so very special! Love, Jonathan.")
7. In 1973, a chapel was built in the park and named for Sevier County doctor Robert F. Thomas—the very same doctor who delivered Dolly. (Parton's father, a tobacco farmer, paid Thomas with a bag of oatmeal.)
8. Dollywood has a total of 27 rides. Seven of them are rollercoasters and four of them are water rides. Unfortunately, Dolly can't go on many of them—she suffers from motion sickness! "My daddy used to say, 'I could never be a sailor. I could never be a miner. I could never be a pilot,'" Parton once said. "I am the same way. I have motion sickness. I could never ride some of these rides. I used to get sick on the school bus."
9. You can't bring your pups into Dollywood (unless they're service animals), but you can leave them at Doggywood.
10. Dollywood hosts a number of festivals, including one devoted to BBQ and bluegrass, Great American Summer, National Southern Gospel & Harvest Celebration, the Festival of Nations, and Smoky Mountain Christmas. During last year's Smoky Mountain Christmas, the park put on Dollywood's A Christmas Carol, which featured a hologram of Parton as the Ghost of Christmas Past. "When they told me they were going to make a hologram out of me, I thought they were crazy," Parton said. "But when I saw how real it looked on stage, I couldn't believe it. I'm not sure this world can handle two Dolly Partons, but I'm excited folks will be able to see 'the other Dolly' reminding families that it's not what you have but who you have, just like ole Scrooge figures out in the end."
11. Though it was built fairly recently (in the early 1980s), the park's grist mill operates just as one would have in the 1880s—and it was constructed that way, too. According to the Dollywood website, "The roof shingles were split by hand, and all the door hardware was created onsite by the park's blacksmiths. The structure's round logs were hewed by hand in front of the building site with holes drilled in the logs by hand using different size augers. The architectural shingles on the side of the building and all lumber were milled at the park's sawmill ... The window panes were made by the park's glassblowers, and each window frame was made onsite using steam engine power to operate the five-in-one machine which is now located in the Valley Carriage Works wagon shop." Construction took six months; these days, the mill grinds corn and wheat into flour every day.
12. Dollywood has a number of bald eagles—deemed "non-releasable" because they wouldn't be able to survive in the wild on their own—and a few other birds, including an owl and a raven that has toys in its enclosure. (They're smart!).

Dem super PAC picks 10 GOP targets
The top Democratic super PAC focused on the House of Representatives has picked its first set of targets for the 2014 cycle, assembling a list of vulnerable lawmakers the group will seek to weaken over the next year in order to lay the groundwork for a strong midterm challenge.
House Majority PAC will run off-year political programs in the districts of 10 GOP lawmakers it hopes to knock off in 2014, a strategist for the outside group told POLITICO. That means running ads on the airwaves and online, as well as working social networks and local media in advance of the general election.
Story Continued Below
The strategy reflects the long road Democrats face to retake the House. While they have a handful of inviting takeover opportunities, they would need to win some tougher, Republican-leaning districts to net the 17 seats needed to flip control of the chamber.
That means investing in districts well in advance of the summer of 2014, when campaign and outside-group spending will escalate dramatically.
House Majority PAC's initial targets include Minnesota Reps. Michele Bachmann and John Kline, Colorado Rep. Mike Coffman, Illinois Rep. Rodney Davis, Pennsylvania Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick, New York Rep. Michael Grimm, Nevada Rep. Joe Heck, Ohio Rep. David Joyce and Florida Rep. Steve Southerland.
Many of those members represent suburban toss-up districts – places where campaigns are expensive, but where some Democrats have been competitive in statewide elections. Several of the seats have substantial minority populations, including a sizable Hispanic presence in the Heck and Coffman districts, and a significant African-American population in the Southerland and Davis districts.
The tenth Republican on the list is California Rep. Gary Miller, whom House Majority PAC spokesman Andy Stone dubbed "the most endangered Republican incumbent in the country."
Miller may be the closest thing to a Republican pushover on the House map. He faced likely defeat last year after his district was redrawn, but won a reprieve when California's new top-two "jungle" primary system failed to produce a Democratic challenger for the general election. He dispatched a Republican opponent, Bob Dutton, in November.
Democratic super PACs played an influential role in 2012, but only later in the cycle as their fundraising accelerated and their political operations ramped up to full speed. This is the first campaign in which super PACs on the Democratic side will have the opportunity to play at this scale so early in the election cycle.

With more actual grrrl power, Maleficent would be a bold redo. Instead, it's a beautiful snooze, a story that hints at the darkness underneath our fairy tales and tarnishes the idea of true love without quite daring to say what's really on its mind: that even the best of us might not live happily ever after.
Read Full Review
This icon of witchcraft can't save a production that's suffocatingly elaborate yet insufficiently bewitching.
Uncertain of tone, and bearing visible scarring from what one imagines were multiple rewrites, the film fails to probe the psychology of its subject or set up a satisfying alternate history, but it sure is nice to look at for 97 minutes.
It fails to live up to its early promise, mostly because of an uneven tone and murky character development
This is almost entirely Angelina Jolie's show...this is a performance that goes from point A to point B without seeming rote, or ho-hum.
Calling Maleficent a "modern-day classic," as some have asserted, is overreaching. The production is engaging and appealing but only the passage of time will determine whether it holds in the memory with the strength of its animated predecessor.
A few bumpy patches notwithstanding, the new feature is an exquisitely designed, emotionally absorbing work of dark enchantment.
See all Maleficent reviews at Metacritic.com
OK for kids 8+
Visually beautiful but dark retelling of classic fairytale.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Maleficent is Disney's retelling of its iconic animated princess movie Sleeping Beauty from the villain's point of view. Audiences will learn the reasons why the "evil fairy" (played by Angelina Jolie) is so bitter and resentful at not being invited to baby Aurora's welcoming party that she curses the infant princess. Far more so than the animated original (which itself is often too scary for younger kids in the preschool age bracket), this live-action version can get quite dark and may frighten younger kids, particularly during violent action sequences between the kingdom and the magical creatures of the moors. Characters die (or look dead) or are injured, and Maleficient is an intimidating figure. It's also very upsetting when her wings are cut off. But the movie's overall message -- about redemption and love -- is positive, and giving Maleficient more depth and context will help kids sympathize with her. As long as your kids can handle the battles, they'll probably enjoy this new take on a classic Disney villain.
Educational value: Kids will learn the value of looking at a situation from more than one perspective, as well as the important lesson that people are often more than what they seem.
Messages: The movie's over-arching message is to not allow greed and hatred to blind you from love and generosity. If Maleficent had let go of her anger at being jilted, she wouldn't have cursed Aurora, and if Stefan hadn't been so greedy and hurtful, the kingdom and the moors could have lived in peace. Aurora's journey is about staying in the light, even when surrounded by darkness.
Role models: Aurora is a sweet, kind girl who's curious and loves the creatures of the moors, just like young Maleficent, who was brave and protective of her fellow fairies and creatures. Maleficent is both a villain and a hero, because she had reasons to be bitter and unkind and is eventually remorseful for the hateful way she cursed baby Aurora. Against all odds, Maleficent is able to love again when she sees what a smart and generous young woman Aurora has become. Diaval is a loyal and truth-telling servant/helper to Maleficent.
Violence and scariness: The movie's tone becomes quite dark, and there are some genuinely jump-worthy/scary scenes -- like when Maleficent realizes that her wings have been cut off (a brutal scene that's reminiscent of sexual assault in some ways), as well as the various battles between the kingdom and the creatures of the moors, including the climactic fight between Maleficent, the king's guards, and the king himself. The three fairies can be physical with each other -- pulling one another's hair, hitting, and slapping -- but it's usually portrayed in a humorous manner. People die on and off camera, including one key character who plunges to his death.
Sexy stuff: A couple of kisses, including a romantic kiss between Aurora and a prince.
Language: Rare uses of insult language like "imbecile" and "idiot."
Consumerism: While there are no product placements in the movie, there are promotional tie-ins to merchandise including apparel, toys, accessories, and games.
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Not applicable

Some guest comments:
1-We had a wonderful time at Blue Gum House. The house was lovely, very cosy and much bigger than we expected. The kids really enjoyed themselves and made themselves feel right at home. They loved the upstairs area and they made it as a no adult zone. Mum and dad were thankful for the peace and quiet of the main bedroom and my sister and I thought we were big kids again sleeping in the bunk beds.
2-I must say I have a great time with my family staying at Blue Gum House. What a beautiful cottage and arrangement suits the family needs. It has great scenery next to the national park and very close to the stunning view of Govett's Leap and Evan's Look Out. We enjoyed ourselves a lot. I wished I had stayed there longer. I would certainly recommend to my friends and make a second trip back next year.

CARSON, Calif. -- Timothy Bradley went down in the first round and again in the last, getting battered in every corner of the chilly outdoor ring by an unheralded Russian opponent with none of Manny Pacquiao's reputation or esteem.
Bradley absorbed every shot and countered nearly every blow with punishment of his own, fighting on wobbly legs to a victory that should boost his reputation and career in a way that beating Pacquiao never did.
Bradley overcame an early round thrashing and a last-minute knockdown to win a narrow unanimous decision over Ruslan Provodnikov on Saturday night, defending his WBO welterweight belt in dramatic style.
With steam rising from his shaved head on a frigid Southern California night, Bradley (30-0) barely survived a thriller with the Freddie Roach-trained Provodnikov (22-2) in the champion's first bout since winning a much-debated split decision over Pacquiao last June.
Few fans believed that verdict -- but nobody could doubt Bradley's heart now.
"I gave it everything I had," Bradley said. "Every ounce I had, I gave."
Bradley appeared to be out on his feet at times the opening two rounds against his Russian challenger, even tumbling to the canvas in a first-round fall that was ruled an accidental slip. Bradley then was forced to take a knee with 10 seconds left in the 12th round after one last barrage from Provodnikov.
But Bradley also punished Provodnikov with multiple shots all night, causing huge cuts and swelling on the face of the "Siberian Rocky," who excelled in the biggest fight of his career.
Judges Marty Denkin and Jerry Cantu scored the bout 114-113 for Bradley, and Raul Caiz Sr. favored Bradley 115-112. The Associated Press also scored it 114-113 for Bradley on the strength of his middle-round dominance.
"He's much more powerful than Pacquiao," Bradley said. "He hits harder, and has shorter punches. He's a great puncher, and I take my hat off to him."
Bradley guessed he might have a concussion after absorbing dozens of big shots from Provodnikov, who pressed the action all night. Roach thought the ruling on Bradley's fall in the first round probably cost Provodnikov the decision, but praised both fighters' gutsy performances.
Provodnikov eagerly accepted this title shot after Cuba's Yuriorkis Gamboa turned it down. The aggressive Russian has been a sparring partner for Pacquiao at Roach's Wild Card Gym, but had never faced a fighter with Bradley's accomplishments.
"I was the clear winner," Provodnikov said through a translator. "I hurt him. I knocked him down. I don't know what else to do."
Bradley's tenacity and resourcefulness could redefine a fighter who got no credit for beating Pacquiao, the former pound-for-pound champion and global superstar. Few observers agreed with the two judges' decisive ruling in Las Vegas, and Bradley couldn't land a rematch with the Filipino congressman.
After beating Provodnikov with remarkable style, Bradley even might have won over his own promoter, Bob Arum.
"This is how the old-timers used to fight," said Arum, who ripped the Pacquiao decision last year. "You used to see these fights in the '50s and the '60s all the time. It's not only winning a fight in boxing. You have to be an attraction."
Bradley had a reputation as a headfirst, unexciting fighter with little power after stopping just one of his previous 11 opponents, but few decision victories in recent boxing history have been more spellbinding than the 12 rounds fought by Bradley and Provodnikov.
"He's going to be a world champion someday," Bradley said. "He's a very strong puncher because he steps into his punches and he hits really hard. It was a really difficult fight. I want to show him by those exchanges that I wasn't afraid of him. That's why I kept trading with him. I didn't want to show any fear. I can brawl and box with anyone."
The pro-Bradley crowd south of downtown Los Angeles was stunned when Provodnikov repeatedly rocked the champion in the first two rounds, leaving Bradley woozy and uncertain on his feet while the Russian whaled on him. Bradley didn't lose a point when he fell to the canvas in the first round in what appeared to be a knockdown missed by referee Pat Russell -- and the champion appeared to be senseless on his feet again while Provodnikov pounded him into the ropes late in the second round.
"It was a very close fight," Roach said. "Bradley had some good rounds also, but I thought we had at least three 10-8 rounds in there. I can't complain about a close loss, but I felt that we had bigger punches."
Bradley finally got his legs in the third round and began fighting with more strategy and caution. It all disappeared again in the final minute of the sixth round, when Provodnikov tempted Bradley into a vicious brawl featuring dozens of punches with both hands from both fighters, leaving Bradley defiantly spitting blood while yelling at Provodnikov after the bell.
Provodnikov again attempted to force the action, but Bradley backpedaled and picked him apart, causing cuts and swelling across his face. Bradley opened a serious cut near Provodnikov's left eye, leaving the challenger apparently fighting on will.
But Provodnikov rallied for one last assault in the 12th round, and Bradley repeatedly staggered backward and bounced off the ropes. With Provodnikov desperately pressing forward, Bradley bent down and took a knee while the clapper sounded for the final 10 seconds of the round, allowing Bradley to barely make it to the bell.
"I'm just really proud of my guy right now," Roach said. "He's crying in the dressing room. I told him, 'Go ahead, cry. At least you care.' I think he made himself a star in America and Russia tonight. People like fights like that. I know I do."
Earlier, welterweight Jessie Vargas (22-0) recovered from an early knockdown and won a unanimous decision over Wale Omotoso (23-1) in an entertaining undercard bout at the Home Depot Center.

NASA offers space shuttle food and tiles to schools
See if you can tell which is which, kids!
Food and heat-resistant tiles once destined for orbit will soon end up in the grubby little hands of schoolchildren, in a scheme aimed at inspiring a future generation of astronauts and space engineers.
NASA are selling off dehydrated space food and shuttle tiles built to resist temperatures of 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit to schools as part of their education programme.
Will vacuum-packed Orange Ade powder inspire the next generation of astronauts?
The space food packets contain a two course meal with a drink and NASA have about 350 to give away. They are for education rather than consumption though. So no snacking on the vacuum-packed spinach.
The tiles were built to resist temperatures of 3,000°F (1,650°C) created by the friction of space shuttles flying at 17,500mph as they re-enter the Earth's thickening atmosphere. Each shuttle has more than 21,000 lightweight tiles. Under the Tiles for Teachers scheme, schools can request a tile.
Flown and un-flown shuttle tires are also up for grabs – available on three-year loans. Schools can request ones that were on specific missions.
The request site is here. ®

Mayor's Office
Mayor Chris Beutler today announced that the City of Lincoln has joined ICLEI — Local Governments for Sustainability, a nonprofit organization that helps local governments strengthen local energy and sustainability efforts. The Mayor's Cleaner Greener Lincoln initiative provided funds for the ICLEI USA membership.
Milo Mumgaard, the Mayor's Senior Policy Aide for Sustainability, says Cleaner Greener Lincoln will use ICLEI USA as a resource in developing an energy efficiency and conservation strategy to reduce City government's energy use by 20 percent and citywide energy use by 10 percent over the next two years.
As an ICLEI USA member, Lincoln has access to technical tools and support to help with sustainability planning; national training and events; policy and communications assistance; a national network of peer expertise; and planning methodology employed by some of the country's most innovative local governments.
More than 600 local governments in 49 states are members of ICLEI USA. The organization was founded in 1990 as the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives, and in 2003, the name was changed ICLEI — Local Governments for Sustainability. Lincoln and Omaha are the only member cities in Nebraska. More information is available at icleiusa.org.
The Mayor's Cleaner Greener Lincoln initiative is coordinating the use of $2.4 million in stimulus funds through the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant program.

Heineken Cup
Stoddart cleared for Leinster clash

Scarlets' winger Morgan Stoddart has escaped further punishment following his sending off last weekend © Getty Images
Scarlets' winger Morgan Stoddart has escaped further punishment following his sending off against Clermont Auvergne last weekend.
The Wales international was shown an automatic red card by Irish referee Peter Fitzgibbon after receiving two yellows during his side's 49-16 defeat at the hands of their French rivals at the Stade Marcel Michelin.
European Rugby Cup independent judicial officer Anthony Davies, who considered the matter by means of written submissions, has decided the red card was sufficient punishment, and declined to impose a further sanction.
Davies concluded that neither yellow card offence involved foul play directed at an opponent and that no additional action was necessary. It means that Stoddart is available for the Scarlets' next Heineken Cup appointment at home to holders Leinster on Saturday.

Product Description
Flax Seed Oil Plant Manufacturer refining of vegetable oils is essential to ensure removal of gums, waxes, phosphatides and free fatty acid (F. F.A.) from the oil; to impart uniform colour by removal of colouring pigments and to get rid of unpleasant smell from the oil by removal of odiferous matter. Shandong Leader Machinery Co.,ltd. refining is carried out either on batch operation or as continuous operation. With certain 11000L per day coconut oil processing plant oils even physical refining can be carried out instead of chemical. For processing less than thirty tones of oil per 24 hours, and when oil has F.F .A. content of 1 % or less normally batch process is recommended. Flax Seed Oil Plant Manufacturer batch process involves low capital investment, simplicity of operation and low maintenance, making refining economically a viable proposition even at capacity as low as 10 tonnes per 24 hours of 11000L per day coconut oil processing plant.
Coconut oil machine
As for coconut oil, it mainly has three kinds of oil. Cold pressed oil, hot pressed oil, virgin coconut oil. Coconut is one kind of high oil yield material. It is very good for our health. Coconuts mainly grow in Tropical area, in South East Asia, South Asia, Africa, Middle America. Where there is enough rain and heat, the coconut will grow very well.
Coconut oil
1) Hot pressing: in this way, we need to dry the coconut first, the dried coconut is called copra, we use the copra to press oil, because the oil yield is high, normally twice pressing is needed. before pressing ,we will cook the copra by using cooker.
2) Cold pressing: by using our cold pressing machine, before pressing, no need to heat, no cook, our cold press machine is of high yield, the residual in the cake is around 9% at the first time, then follows the second pressing, after the second pressing, the residual in the cake is about 5-6%.
3) Virgin coconut oil: to make virgin coconut oil, we do use different ways for different capacity, the most common way is to press the wet coconut meat into liquid, and then separate the water, milk from the oil by using centrifuge, then we will get virgin coconut oil, this oil can not only be eaten, what is more, it is very good cosmetic, health care ,skin care, and hair care, it can keep you young forever.Our customers Coconut oil machine

MONTERIA, Colombia
The main suspect in Orlando Benítez's murder was never in doubt. Benítez, a lawmaker here in the northwestern province of Córdoba, was preparing to run for mayor of a municipality controlled for years by Diego Murillo Bejarano, a paramilitary chief known as "Don Berna." Murillo, once a close associate of drug lord Pablo Escobar, hadn't given the campaign his blessing.
The local and national press reported briefly on a police announcement of the hit, in which five men gunned down Benítez, his sister, and his driver on April 10. But the press didn't mention Murillo or subject the triple murder to any significant investigation. "No journalist tried to check into what everyone suspected," says Gustavo Santiago, news director of the Caracol Radio affiliate in Montería, the provincial capital. "It could have cost you your life."
It takes mettle to be a journalist in this Andean nation riven for decades by a war that pits government and paramilitary forces against leftist guerrillas, by international syndicates that enable Colombia to supply most of the world's cocaine and much of its heroin, and by an array of underworld organizations that control contraband, extort from businesses, and manipulate public officials.
In this case, news outlets feared reprisals not only from Murillo, who insists he had nothing to do with the assassination, but from President Alvaro Uribe's government, which had suspended arrest warrants for the warlord as part of negotiations to demobilize paramilitaries. The talks had dragged on for more than two years, lately in a paramilitary haven the government set up just a few miles from the murder. Naming Murillo as the suspect would have focused attention on violations of a "ceasefire" the paramilitaries declared for the talks. And it would have fueled international criticism of Uribe-backed legislation awarding judicial leniency to paramilitaries who disarm.
Two weeks after the assassination, authorities finally broke the silence, announcing a fresh arrest warrant for Murillo. Even then, few news outlets explored the paramilitary chief's alleged role in any depth. One fear, Santiago notes, was that journalists would end up having to testify against him.
Such hands-off treatment is pervasive in Colombia, a Committee to Protect Journalists investigation has found. Interviews with three dozen news professionals show that media outlets and journalists across the country routinely censor themselves in fear of physical retaliation from all sides in the nation's conflict.
At least 30 Colombian journalists have been murdered over the past decade for their work. "We love our profession, but we're human," says Carmen Rosa Pabón, news director of Voz de Cinaruco, the Caracol Radio affiliate in the northeastern city of Arauca. "Threats and killings make us afraid. To survive, we have to limit ourselves."
On some occasions, verified news is suppressed shortly before broadcast or publication. In other cases, probing journalists are killed, detained, or forced to flee. More often, investigations never even get started. The issues shortchanged are human rights abuses, armed conflict, political corruption, drug trafficking, and links from officials to illegal armed groups. Journalists end up focusing instead on "pleasant topics like fauna and flora," says Angel María León, news chief of Arauca's RCN Radio affiliate.
Communities pay a high price. "Any region without investigative journalism is going to have impunity," says Jaime Vides Feria of Radio Caracolí in Sincelejo, a provincial capital near the Caribbean coast.
And the self-censorship has international dimensions. The Uribe administration, for example, is pushing for U.S. and European funding of a $130 million plan to reintegrate the demobilized paramilitaries into society. But foreign taxpayers can hardly judge whether the plan might bring peace if the press doesn't dare investigate drug trafficking by paramilitaries or their civilian attacks.
"We're talking about serial massacres--extremely cruel deaths with torture," notes reporter Beatriz Diegó Solano of El Universal, a daily newspaper that curtailed its investigation of scores of unmarked graves discovered near Sincelejo this year. "Do you think these people are going to become corn farmers? They're psychopaths."
Colombia's main guerrilla groups--the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and the smaller National Liberation Army (ELN)--formed in the mid-1960s, calling for socialism on behalf of the country's impoverished majority. But the guerrillas have earned a reputation for abusing human rights through tactics such as extortion, kidnapping, and assassination. And the FARC, now more than 15,000 strong, has generated much of its revenue from "taxing" peasants who cultivate coca, the raw material for cocaine.
In the early 1980s, ranchers, military officers, drug traffickers, and businessmen began forming regional private armies to ward off the guerrillas. But the paramilitaries, dubbed "self-defense forces," have focused largely on unarmed social movements. Often working closely with government forces, they've murdered thousands of peasant leaders, trade unionists, politicians, human rights advocates, and other civilians accused of supporting the guerrillas. And they've played a leading role in turning narcotics into Colombia's largest export sector.
Since the Uribe government began negotiating with them in 2002, the paramilitaries have ostensibly demobilized units totaling more than 8,500 of their 20,000 fighters. At the same time, however, they've expanded and entrenched illicit operations ranging from extortion to drug running to gasoline smuggling. They now hold sway over city halls, provincial governments, and federal agencies across the country. They boast of controlling a third of Congress.
The FARC, meanwhile, remains potent. "Here we have found a terrorism reigning for decades, a terrorism hidden in our large cities and in more than 300,000 [square] kilometers of jungle, a terrorism financed by drug trafficking," Uribe said in a 2003 speech. "Nowhere in the world in my generation has it been necessary to confront a terrorism more powerful, rich, aggressive, and dangerous than what we've confronted in Colombia. And how are we confronting it? With the hand of the Constitution. We're confronting it without trimming press freedom."
While the Colombian government exerts little formal control over news content, officials sometimes persuade media outlets to censor themselves. In 2000, Caracol's television network sent reporter Jorge Enrique Botero and two other journalists on an 11-day journey to a secret southern camp where the FARC was holding scores of captured soldiers and police. The video footage formed the basis of a 43-minute documentary substantiating claims by relatives that the government had virtually forgotten about the captives. Botero called it "the most anticipated story of my career."
But a letter from the government's National Television Commission urged Caracol to scrap the work, claiming it would "seriously hurt the feelings of large segments of television viewers, such as children," and that "this sort of broadcast could turn out to be counterproductive" for peace efforts. The documentary never aired. A statement from Caracol President Ricardo Alarcón acknowledged the letter but said the network made the decision on its own, already "having divulged many of the images in our news."
Another way officials encourage self-censorship is by accusing journalists of guerrilla ties. In Saravena, a town in Arauca Province, soldiers of an Army battalion called the Revéiz Pizarro Mechanized Group entered community radio station Sarare Estéreo on August 21, 2003, and arrested the town's only full-time journalist, Emiro Goyeneche. He was one of 19 people in the province swept up that day, charged with "rebellion" and accused by the attorney general's office of being an ELN member.
The mass detention came as part of government efforts to increase security along an oil pipeline run by Los Angeles-based Occidental Petroleum. "We had been reporting on [guerrilla bombings], attacks on government forces, and decrees restricting people's movement, but also on sports, cultural events, and daily life," says Goyeneche, who frequently shot video for Caracol TV on top of his radio work. "We were always respectful toward the rule of law and the bounds of democracy."
Reporters in the Arauca capital praise Goyeneche's work and call the charge against him specious. But he ended up in prison for more than 20 months. The jailing wiped out Sarare Estéreo's news programming, a blow to a town with no newspapers and no other radio station except one run by the battalion.
Station Manager Mireya Camacho and her small staff have struggled to resume the news amid repeated confrontations with the Army. At one point last year, the battalion threatened to close the station for broadcasting a community meeting about the killing of three local trade unionists by soldiers. "There's self-censorship," she says. "We can't air statements from legally constituted social organizations about human rights because military forces immediately arrive to question us."
Interviewed in May, battalion commander Col. Luis Francisco Medina Corredor said many of those organizations-- he named the town's teachers union and its most prominent human rights group--take orders from the ELN. But he insisted his relations with Sarare Estéreo were fine: "I don't know what the fear is about." The colonel said Goyeneche, released in April and still awaiting a ruling on the charge, is free to work at the station "as long as he doesn't get involved with terrorist groups."
Far-flung military commanders aren't the only officials trying to link journalists to guerrillas. In February, Vice President Francisco Santos chastised reporting that questioned the country's security policies following an upsurge in deadly FARC bombings against government forces. The media, he said, had created "a sounding board for terrorist actions that, without a doubt, was more effective than the use itself of the explosives."
Jorge Otero Martínez, founder of the Montería weekly newspaper Cuarta Opinión, says such statements accomplish ends similar to formal censorship. "A journalist's duty is to give the news, to be a witness to our times," he notes. "If they attack the [Army's] 11th Brigade, do we have to keep our mouths shut because the national government says it never happened?"
Uribe, speaking at a March conference of news executives, urged media outlets to exercise "self-control" and consider barring the publication of interviews with members of illegal armed groups. "The terrorists maintain a very dangerous political game," he said. "One day they kill and the next they want to be news personalities."
In a June 27 radio interview, Uribe admonished one journalist in particular. He said Hollman Morris, a Colombian television reporter who has written critically about the administration's security policies, had traveled to the southern province of Putumayo based on advance knowledge of June 25 FARC attacks that killed 25 government troops there. The allegation turned out to be false: Morris, who was working on a BBC documentary, arrived after the clashes. The president's office retracted the claim, but Morris says he had to cut his Putumayo visit short in fear of retaliation.
The number of attacks on Colombian journalists has declined in recent years, but the country remains one of the world's most hazardous places to report news. This year, at least one journalist has been murdered for his work, several others have survived attempts on their lives, and dozens have reported receiving threats.
The slain journalist, Julio Hernando Palacios Sánchez of the northeastern city of Cúcuta, hosted a Radio Lemas program that regularly focused on local corruption. Two unidentified men on a motorcycle opened fire as he drove to work January 11.
Six explosions this year have damaged news facilities. The worst was a February 20 car bombing that destroyed the building housing the RCN radio and television stations in the southwestern city of Cali. The FARC claimed responsibility four days later.
On May 16, funeral wreaths were delivered to the offices of three nationally known journalists whose work often cast negative light on the Uribe administration. The wreaths came with cards inviting the journalists to their own burials. One of the three, Daniel Coronell, also received e-mail messages threatening the life of his 6-year-old daughter. Coronell, who directs a news show on the TV network Canal Uno and writes a column for the weekly magazine Semana, tracked the messages to a computer in the Bogotá mansion of former Congressman Carlos Náder Simmonds, a close friend of Uribe. Náder denied sending the threats but admitted they came from his computer. An investigation by the attorney general's office has shed no light.
The lack of security owes much to Colombia's justice system, described in a February report by the U.S. State Department as "overburdened, inefficient, and subject to intimidation and corruption." Inefficiency, at the very least, has stalled many cases involving journalists. Two Army soldiers were convicted in the 1991 murder of Henry Rojas Monje, an Arauca correspondent for the Bogotá daily newspaper El Tiempo. The Defense Ministry was eventually ordered to pay more than $20,000 to his family, but the government appealed that ruling. In August, almost 14 years after the killing, the president of a national panel of administrative judges known as the State Council said the case's evidence files, weighing more than 100 pounds, had "disappeared" and would have to be reconstructed. The family won't be receiving the reparation any time soon.
Last year the Bogotá-based Foundation for Press Freedom (FLIP) examined 157 attacks on journalists reported to authorities in recent years. A court had ruled whether a defendant was guilty in only two of the cases. In one--the 2002 murder of newspaper reporter Orlando Sierra--the killer received a lengthy prison sentence, but those who ordered the hit hadn't been investigated. In the other--the 1999 murder of political satirist Jaime Garzón--the convicted mastermind, paramilitary chief Carlos Castaño, went missing on April 16, 2004.
Some lawmakers and human rights advocates have blamed such impunity on paramilitary infiltration of the justice system. Within months of assuming his post in 2001, according to Human Rights Watch, Attorney General Luis Camilo Osorio fired 26 human rights prosecutors and promoted many others who eventually faced corruption charges. The Miami Herald reported last year that prosecutors in the cities of Cúcuta and Medellín had tolerated or participated in paramilitary atrocities. The U.S. State Department has reported on a score of separate cases in which the attorney general has taken little or no action in response to the disappearances or deaths of lawyers, union leaders, journalists, and other prominent figures.
Osorio stepped down this August, but journalists may not fare differently under his replacement, former Deputy Justice Minister Mario Iguarán, appointed by the Supreme Court on Uribe's recommendation. Osorio describes Iguarán as his "clone." It happens that Iguarán co-authored the legislation for demobilizing the paramilitaries. The measure, supported by the United States and signed into law by Uribe in July, reduces jail sentences and provides cash awards to illegal combatants who disarm. Uribe calls such incentives crucial for peace. "The law is universal," he noted in a July speech. "It's for guerrillas and paramilitaries."
But the law's critics--including Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and the human rights commissions of both the United Nations and the Organization of American States--warn that it sets prosecution time limits that may allow some of the worst paramilitary offenders to remain free. The few convicted, they say, could serve sentences as short as two years and keep their forces intact.
That sort of impunity weighs heavily on the news media. In Florencia, a southern provincial capital, radio journalists Alfredo Abad López, Guillermo León Agudelo, and José Duviel Vásquez Arias were murdered over an eight-month period in 2000 and 2001. "The attorney general's office still hasn't determined who's responsible," notes Carlos Meyer Sánchez, news director of the local RCN Radio affiliate. "That has led to self-censorship. There are topics you can't touch."
Self-censorship turns up in every corner of the country but most intensely in regional media. "We live here, our families live here, and everyone knows us," says León, the radio reporter in Arauca. "It's not the same with journalists who visit for a few days from Bogotá or an overseas news agency." Some of the censored news involves routine reporting. Meyer Sánchez recalls a press conference in which the Army's 12th Brigade announced it had captured a few paramilitary fighters. He says a man outside the event introduced himself as the detainees' commander and urged that there be no reporting on the arrest "for your security and the security of your family." That threat, Meyer Sánchez adds, persuaded the station not to broadcast anything about the capture.
El Caleño, a daily newspaper in Cali, decided against publishing an image of a June murder victim after the photographer received a threat on his cell phone. "Sometimes it's hard to be a good journalist because of the fear," Managing Editor Blanca María Torres Ramírez notes.
On July 14, authorities near Medellín captured José Aldemar ("Mechas") Rendón Ramírez, wanted in the United States for his suspected role as a financial officer of the Norte del Valle drug cartel. The national and international press covered the arrest, but media outlets in the southwestern city of Cartago, where Rendón grew up, gave the story a pass. "There are things we can't report," Cartago Stereo's Luis Angel Murcia explained the day after the arrest. "We're afraid of reprisals."
In another form of self-censorship, news outlets abandon important investigations. In April and May, El Universal reporter José Javier Sarmiento broke several stories about 72 unmarked graves found on farms where paramilitary chief Rodrigo ("Chain") Mercado Pelufo operated. Sarmiento never received explicit threats, he says, but "many people with clear knowledge" of Mercado Pelufo's unit told him his reporting had gone far enough. "The newspaper also said I had to tone it down and not mention the farm owner," he adds, referring to his only report that named the proprietor of the 6,000-acre tract where most of the bodies had turned up.
Numerous angles begged for more investigation. Authorities, for example, weren't pursuing the farm owner and hadn't identified most of the bodies. Area residents said hundreds of corpses remained to be found. And Mercado Pelufo, wanted in 10 massacre cases, was enjoying a suspension of his arrest warrants as part of the demobilization talks. Yet El Universal dropped the story. Juan Manuel Sánchez, who supervised the newspaper's Sincelejo edition, acknowledges the danger of investigating the paramilitaries: "We try to inform without bothering any armed group." But he insists this story died on its own. The farm owner "didn't have links" to Mercado Pelufo, he says, and the other angles lacked "reliable sources."
Semana, the nation's largest newsmagazine, last year published a string of reports questioning the demobilization talks. The coverage peaked with a transcript of tapes from the negotiating table revealing that the government had offered to protect paramilitary chiefs from extradition to the United States, where Murillo and many others are wanted on drugtrafficking charges. "After that, there wasn't a direct threat, but there were clear and strong signals from underworld sources to be careful," says Carlos Eduardo Huertas, Semana's investigative coordinator. The magazine's reporting on the talks softened. "People noticed a change," he says.
As journalists censor themselves, they invariably rely more on government sources. In Buenaventura, the country's major Pacific port, 12 youth soccer players were massacred on April 19. Local reporters learned quickly that paramilitaries had accused two of the players of FARC ties. "The whole neighborhood knew what happened, but we couldn't publish anything because of fear," says Adonaí Cárdenas Castillo, correspondent of the Cali-based daily newspaper El País, noting that a dozen journalists in Buenaventura have been murdered over the past 15 years. "Even if you know who killed someone," he says, "you can publish only what the police report." So the press offered no hint who might be responsible for the massacre until authorities announced a paramilitary fighter's arrest four weeks later.
Cárdenas Castillo notes that the lack of information damages the credibility of both the government and the press, increasing the likelihood of violent reprisals, especially in a city like Buenaventura, which averages a murder a day among its 270,000 residents. "If we could publish what happened, it would curtail impunity," he says.
In perhaps the most extreme form of self-censorship, journalists pack up and leave. During the crackdown to protect the oil pipeline, almost every reporter in Arauca fled the province. Several events triggered the exodus. On June 28, 2002, suspected paramilitaries gunned down Efraín Varela, owner and news director of the radio station Meridiano 70, on a highway just outside the provincial capital. On March 18, 2003, two other suspected paramilitaries killed Luis Eduardo Alfonso,
Varela's replacement as news director, as he arrived for work at the station. Eleven days after Alfonso's murder, a mysterious list named 16 local journalists as assassination targets of the guerrillas or paramilitaries. "We were on planes for Bogotá within days," recalls León, who didn't return to Arauca for five months.
"Threats against us persist today," León adds. Most Arauca journalists now confine their reporting to the capital. Even then, they move in packs and rarely stray from bodyguards provided by the government. "It's very hard for a journalist to work like this," he notes. "When we show up in a neighborhood with the escorts, it scares people away."
Threats and attacks have uprooted many other journalists. In April, Angélica Rubiano fled Florencia, where she reported for the local radio station Cristalina Estéreo and La Nación, a daily newspaper based in the nearby city of Neiva. Her investigation of FARC operations had led to threatening phone calls and apparently a March 13 bombing of an antenna used by the station. "She was one of the best journalists around," says reporter Jorge Eliécer Quintero Cuéllar of Diario de Huila, a competing newspaper.
Television director Julian Alberto Ochoa Restrepo fled Andes, a municipality in the northwestern province of Antioquia, in July after a May 23 assassination attempt and subsequent threats over his rumored contribution to a national journalist's report on area corruption. Buenaventura television journalist Fanor Zúñiga Hurtado left that city July 24 after months of threats from the FARC.
In Coronell's case, fear for his 6-year-old convinced him to move his family outside the country in August. He accepted a one-year fellowship at Stanford University, took a leave from his TV show, and got Semana's permission to submit his column from overseas. "The possibilities for investigation have deteriorated," he laments. "But the safety of my daughter comes first."
Chip Mitchell is a radio and print journalist based in Bogotá. Frank Smyth of the Committee to Protect Journalists contributed to this story from the southwestern province of Valle del Cauca.

An Illuminative Evaluation on Practical Art, Craft and Design Instruction: The Case of Botswana
Art, craft and design (ACD) is a practical subject that provides learners the opportunity to explore various media and techniques. This includes creating two and three dimensional work in order to help learners develop their practical skills which may benefit them in future. Learners may create products to sell and earn a living as the National Principles and 'Vision 2016' advocate for 'self-reliance'. Thus, effective engagement of learners in practical activities may help them develop creative and practical skills resulting in benefits in the completion of primary school studies. Engagement in the development of creative and practical skills is particularly helpful for those who do not advance to secondary education. It is in this context, that this study investigated the extent to which primary school teachers engaged pupils in ACD practical activities. The study also examined the application of ACD theory to practice as advocated by the Botswana Lower Primary Creative and Performing Arts syllabus, which was introduced in 2002. This was a qualitative case study which involved eight lower primary teachers. The research methodology was framed within Parlett and Hamilton's concept of 'Illuminative Evaluation' accompanied by classroom participant observation. The study revealed that all of the teachers who participated in the study had limited knowledge and skills in art, craft and design. None of them had specialized in the subject. The results further indicated that teachers had been trained in basic pedagogy on the general methods of teaching in primary schools; however, they lacked knowledge and skills in ACD. This deficit may have contributed to their lack of encouraging learners to apply theory into practice, thus depriving them the opportunity to gain basic practical skills required at primary level.

Ash chokes the sky above a coal ash dam owned by the Shentou Number 2 Power Plant, in Shuimotou village, Shuozhou, Shanxi province. With even the lightest wind, the tiny particles take flight, blotting out the sky like a thick sandstorm of ash. This is also highly hazardous to people, as the fine particles are easily inhaled. Lu Youlong, who works nearby, told us that contaminated water has seeped from the ash dam into village fish ponds, killing all the fish. They'll never be able to raise fish again, he said. Many fields have also developed puddles of alkaline water, making it impossible to grow crops.

Mayor's Office
Dr. Ed Mlinek, a member of Nebraska Task Force1(NETF-1), the Urban Search and Rescue Team (USAR) based at Lincoln Fire and Rescue (LFR), is returning to Lincoln today. Assistant Fire Chief John Huff, the Program Manager for NETF-1, said Mlinek has been staging in Florida since January 15 for deployment to Haiti, but he was unable to fly into the earthquake area because aircraft have been prioritized for the shipment of food, water and medical supplies.
Mlinek, an emergency physician at BryanLGH, was deployed as the Medical Team Manager for a 24-member Incident Support Team (IST). The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has three ISTs, with members from across the country.
NETF-1 has not been deployed to Haiti. Six USAR teams from the U.S. are in Haiti, working with 16 other USAR teams from around the world. The U.S. has sent one team each from California and New York, two from Virginia and two from Florida.

Humic & Fulvic Minerals
Humic and Fulvic minerals are crucial to the maintenance of health and prevention of disease. These important elements are ancient complex plant derived micronutrients. They originated millions of years ago when the Earth was rich with plant life. During this time, the earth's mineral-rich soils produced a profusion of lush green forests and succulent fruits and vegetables, full of vital minerals our bodies need. Unfortunately, due to unsustainable farming practices, we no longer receive sufficient amounts of these life-giving nutrients in our food. Supplementation is therefore required to maintain the optimal amounts required by the body for good health. Humic and Fulvic minerals assist in regulating key metabolic functions while strengthening our immune system at the cellular level. A strong immune system has a better chance of fighting off pathogens that attempt to invade our cells and create illness.
Humic and Fulvic minerals help carry nutrients into and waste products away from cells, while also neutralizing toxins and invaders. They can rid the body of heavy metals, radiation and other toxic pollutants. These pH-balancing minerals prepare the body's cells to receive other vital nutrients. In fact, Humic and Fulvic minerals are so powerful that one single molecule is capable of carrying sixty or more minerals and trace elements into the cells. Improved nutrition may translate into less food cravings and a healthier metabolism. In the East, Fulvic minerals are known as the 'miracle molecule' for their healing properties, ability to regenerate cells and restore lost youthfulness and energy. They are potent anti-oxidants and electrolytes that hydrate the cells naturally! Whereas colloidal minerals are too large to pass readily through the cell membrane, Humic and Fulvic minerals are directly absorbed into cells on contact.
What are the benefits of RegenaLife's Humic and Fulvic mineral products?
RegenaLife's Humic and Fulvic mineral range of products is a concentrated and balanced form of more than 72 life-giving ionic minerals. It includes all 17 essential minerals that the human body needs to thrive but cannot manufacture on its own. All minerals are NOT created equal. Our Humic and Fulvic mineral range of products is plant-based, whereas minerals sourced from rocks, shells and clay are not in the plant-based form the body needs, and therefore not as bio-available. It is taken from remote, untainted soil in New Mexico, USA - an area considered by scientists to be the best source of Humic and Fulvic minerals available! RegenaLife's Humic and Fulvic mineral range is 100% safe and natural, and independently verified to be free of synthetic chemicals. It is cold-water extracted, rather than using heat, acid or other harsh synthetic chemicals to mine the minerals. This results in a pure and potent product with no after-taste! Due to the product's natural mineral content, along with our effective processing methods, the product is naturally preserved and does not lose potency over time.
