In this week's compilation of pop culture crap, a serial urinator terrorizes NYC, Heidi Fleiss still has love for the world's oldest profession, and some drunk girls on St. Patrick's Day say "fuck" on live TV.
1.) Local woman scared by rain.
It rained in Brooklyn this week.
2.) The Urinator
Also big in NYC news: A man was arrested for compulsively urinating on female strangers.
3.) Gorton's fisherman
Why didn't they just hire an older actor, instead of powdering a younger actor's eyebrows, hair, and beard? I can see his roots!
4.) St. Patrick's Day is for "getting fucked up."
And a delay is for catching people saying the f-word on live television. I like that it wasn't employed here, though.
5.) The Butt Master
I know he's talking about exercises, but it still sounds like he's into anal.
6.) Unlike Rainman
Not an excellent driver.
7.) Watchu talkin' 'bout, Willis?
He's talkin' 'bout not talkin' to Gary Coleman anymore.
8.) The Ramona/Jill dynamic
I'm really into it.
9.) Tyra's Choice
I thought modern women are supposed to be able to have their pad and wear their tampon too.
10.) Heidi Fleiss is a lotta fun.

If Coney Island witnessed the birth of the hot dog, Seoul in South Korea saw subsequent generations mutate into a an entirely new genus of animal. An animal coated in a skin of batter and french fries then presented deep-fried on a stick. See the best sex parties here xxx !
After first witnessing this monstrosity on Newley Purnell's site, I thought that chasing it down would be difficult. That it would be the type of food that only demented South Korean carnies sold for a scant few days of a State Fair until their consumers ended up in the waiting queue for a heart bypass. The taste is about as obvious as it looks: greasy but still crispy fries glued to a hotdog with a thick, neutral batter.
It turns out that Seoul is packed full of artisan hot dog vendors. Vendors wrap them in bacon, mashed potato, corn batter or what looked to be seaweed then invariably deep fry them. I spotted three french fry-coated hotdog vendors in the narrow alleys of Myeong-dong alone and a few more in the neighbouring Namdaemun Market.
I blame this mutation on the Korean War. When meat was scarce in the years during and after the war, Koreans made do with whatever they could scavenge from the surplus from the US armed forces bases – Spam and hotdogs. To make these items edible for Koreans, the locals mixed them together with the paste gochujang in a makeshift stew named "Budae jjigae" (부대찌개) – literally "base stew". Over the subsequent fifty years, the locals have grown to love the processed meat-flavored soup and it now graces franchise restaurant menus, the only difference being that the stew now contains actual meat along with the mechanically-separated variety.
There seems to be no particular rules to making the stew, insofar that you need gochujang and hotdogs to start, and then whatever seems to be lying about the average Korean kitchen to continue: kimchi, frozen dumplings, greens, ramen, rice cake, actual meat. 50 years of hotdog flavoured broth has to do strange things to your palate and drive you towards experimenting with hotdogs in an obscene and deep-fried manner.

BALTIMORE – UMBC women's lacrosse junior Abby Wilson (Bel Air, Md./Fallston) tallied a goal and an assist in each half versus Wagner for a game-high four points, as the Retrievers cruised to a 10-5 victory against the Seahawks on a snowy Tuesday afternoon at the UMBC Stadium.
Wilson was one of three Retrievers to score two goals, joined by classmate Alyssa Semones (Westminster, Md./Westminster/Penn State) and senior Kristen Bilney (Ellicott City, Md./Mt. Hebron), as UMBC won its third straight game to improve to 5-4 on the season. Wagner drops back-to-back games for the first time this season to fall to 3-5 on the year.
UMBC was dominate on the draw, pulling in 14-of-17 draws, including an 8-0 advantage in the opening half. The Retrievers outshot Wagner, 30-15, in the contest and were a perfect 11-for-11 on clears.
The Retrievers held possession for the majority of the opening 12 minutes, taking the first six shots of the contest. Semones extended her scoring streak to seven straight games to break the scoreless tie 12:24 into the contest on a dish from senior Shannon Harkey (Purcellville, Va./Loudon Valley/Florida). Wagner evened the score at one apiece 1:48 later on a pass from Shea Gegan and shot from Gretchen Fay.
UMBC scored the next four goals, starting with a drop-off pass in front of the net from Bilney for the easy finish from sophomore Rachel Benzing (Ellicott City, Md./Centennial) to help the Retrievers regain the lead with 8:07 remaining in the opening half. Less than a minute later, Bilney was on the receiving end of a pass from Wilson for her first of two scores in the contest to put UMBC on top, 3-1.
A flip pass on a give-and-go from Benzing to Semones extended the Retrievers lead to three with 5:43 to go in the period and an unassisted score from Wilson 1:55 later gave UMBC a 5-1 advantage.
Wagner was able to get one back before the end of the half on an unassisted score from Nicole Luzzi. UMBC held a 16-5 shot advantage in the opening period en route to a 5-2 lead at the break.
It took freshman Jennie Milligan (Crofton, Md./South River) 3:17 into the second half to register the first goal of her career, bouncing home a pass from Wilson. The Seahawks had the answer, as sophomore Gretchen Fay gathered a bouncing ball and beat UMBC goalkeeper Kelly Gielner (Pasadena, Md./St. Mary's) to trim the Seahawks deficit to three, 6-3, with 22:29 to go in the contest.
The Retrievers rattled off the next three scores, starting with Ali Carpenter's (Baltimore, Md./MCDonogh/Loyola) sixth of the season. Bilney struck for her second of the day 2:42 later, beating her defender and finishing high on Seahawks' goalkeeper Katie Ferraro. Harkey capped off the run with her eighth of the season to extend the Retrievers advantage, 9-3.
Wagner got one back on a free position score from sophomore Stephanie Peterson, but Wilson had the response 2:38 later, beating Ferraro one-on-one following a pass from Carpenter. A falling down Kimmy Tumolo rounded up the scoring with an off balance shot and goal with 3:45 to go.
Bilney led the Retrievers with four draw controls, while Semones and freshman Mackenzie Reese (Bel Air, Md./John Carroll School) each chipped in three. Gielner finished the game with three saves in her first collegiate start. Ferraro stopped 12 shots in the losing effort.
The Retrievers open America East action against Stony Brook on Saturday, March 29 at 1 p.m. at LaValle Stadium.

With mid-term elections fueling mobilization efforts across the political spectrum, immigration policy is at the fore of debates and conversations at the federal, state and local levels. In FY 2013, 368,644 individuals were deported, continuing the trend of annual deportations of over 350,000 individuals since 2009 (U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement). At the same time, an increase of legislation at the state and local levels has targeted undocumented immigrants, with 184 laws and 253 resolutions related to immigration enacted in 2013 (National Conference of State Legislatures). For undocumented migrants, these policies result in an uneven and often precarious experience. A "patch quilt of relatively safe and dangerous spaces" has been produced, as James Quesada points out, in the exciting new issue of City & Society on immigration enforcement.
The essays in the April issue of City & Society delve into the everyday challenges experienced by undocumented immigrants across the United States. They also describe the strategies employed by immigrant communities to negotiate practices of enforcement and highlight immigrant-organizing practices that construct conceptions of human rights and justice. Issue editors, Ruth Gomberg-Munoz and Laura Nussbaum-Barberena note in their Introduction,* "Perhaps most importantly, these articles reveal some of the human faces behind a "post-9/11" enforcement-oriented landscape and contribute analyses and models for action that can be engaged at the community level across the United States."

Obama Inaugural Reveals Corporate Donors
(WASHINGTON) -- President Obama's inaugural committee Friday confirmed that corporate cash has begun flowing in to help celebrate a second term, four years after Obama eschewed such funds and refused to accept them.
The names of 417 "benefactors" to the 57th inaugural were quietly posted Friday night on the Presidential Inaugural Committee's website, including the names of seven companies. The committee said more names will be posted in coming days.
The corporate donors to Obama's inaugural include AT&T, Microsoft, Genentech Inc., Whittier Trust Co., Centene Corp, Financial Innovations Inc. and Stream Line Circle LLC.
None of the individual donors appeared to be high-profile public figures or campaign bundlers. (The committee did not provide any geographic information for the donors or the amounts of their gifts.)
The release of donor names was voluntary as part of an effort the committee said was intended to boost transparency.
Last month Obama reversed a voluntary ban on unlimited corporate cash, which he imposed on the inaugural four years ago and during the 2012 Democratic National Convention.
Obama said he would also allow individuals to contribute up to the legal maximum for the 2013 inauguration — $250,000 — lifting a $50,000 cap he voluntarily imposed in 2008. The shift appeared to be driven by fundraising challenges in the wake of a multi-billion dollar campaign. Obama and GOP nominee Mitt Romney each raised north of $1 billion for the election cycle — historic highs.

NEWMARKET — More than 1,000 hours have helped make 2012 the biggest year of volunteer service for the Oyster Conservation Program working to restore the bivalve population in Great Bay.
On Monday, the Nature Conservancy released its annual report of the Oyster Conservationist program stating there was a record 39 families who raised more than 11,000 spat (baby oysters) for restoration activities. It highlighted efforts made by volunteers including Marjorie and Peter Smith, who are oyster foster parents along the Oyster River in Durham and share their responsibilities in caring for said oysters with their neighbors.
They've been a part of this program since it began seven years ago and were involved with a University of New Hampshire program that tested water quality before that. When that ended, the opportunity to become involved with the Oyster Conservationist program to grow oysters seemed like a natural transition.
"We live on the Oyster River and share the concern of so many people of the Seacoast about how fragile the ecosystem is in Great Bay and oysters are a wonderful and inspiring way to help clean up the bay," Smith said. "They help to counteract the damage that's done by those of us who walk around on two feet."
The responsibilities of being a volunteer and caring for the oysters includes pulling a cage where the oysters are growing up once per week and inspecting it to see if there have been any unwanted growths, cleaning the cage and recording anything that's noticed. Every other week, Marjorie explained, they do even more by taking out a certain number of the shells that have formed the base for spats to grow, taking measurements of a random sampling of oysters, and report the findings back to the Nature Conservancy where Smith said "all the hard, technical work" of tracking, measuring and comparing growth at different sites is done.
"You get really invested in the whole process and care about whether they're doing well," she said.
She credits the Nature Conservancy staff, which maintains a level of excitement and appreciation with the success of the volunteer program.
"One of the things that's remarkable is how terrific the staff of the conservancy is and how effective they are with getting new people involved," she said.
She said being an oyster conservationist helps her and her husband and others involved to be aware of what's going on in the area water ecosystem.
"We have just loved the whole experience," she said.
The goal of the conservation program is to restore oyster levels in Great Bay and their habitat. Jim O'Brien, director of External Affairs for the Nature Conservancy, said the volunteers are vitally important in getting this population back up and running.
Great Bay has lost about 90 percent of its historic reefs, hence lowering the habitat where oysters are able to grow. This year, two acres of reef were restored near the mouth of the Swampscott River and O'Brien said the conservancy hopes to rebuild five acres.
"There's a long way to go. It's going to take a long time to restore," he said, adding that it wouldn't be possible without the volunteers.
In addition to the private volunteers, local restaurants have also gotten involved with the effort by donating shells for the baby oysters to grow on. The shells are collected by the Coastal Conservation Association from restaurants including Surf, Roberts Maine Grill, Jumpin' Jays Fish Cafe, The Library, The Old Salt, The Dinnerhorn, Makris Lobster and Steak House, along with seafood markets including Philbrick's Fresh Market and Sander's Fish Market.
The Little Harbor School in Portsmouth has also adopted a cage of baby oysters to foster and are helping the efforts.
Having worked not only with UNH, but also with Oyster River High School students who, in the past, have monitored water quality as well, early education about the environment is an important factor, Smith said.
"If young people pay attention and understand how important this is then we have a hope for the future," she said.
"It's really building a community involvement and education about the roles oysters play and water filtration and the need to restore the habitat," O'Brien said.
Excess nutrients, such as nitrogen in fertilizer used on lawns and improper care and maintenance of septic systems, can make their way into the water, essentially littering the bay. But oysters can filter up to 20 gallons of water in a day, according to the Nature Conservancy report.
For those reasons, volunteers such as the Smiths find spending 10 weeks monitoring the oysters well worth the effort.
"This wasn't called the Oyster River for nothing," Smith said.

English Rugby
The man who would be King
Enrico Borra
January 14, 2013
Alex King has helped mastermind Clermont's recent success © Getty Images
There are very few rugby men in Europe that are as well accustomed to silverware as Alex King. Two Heineken Cup victories and four Premiership titles during his playing days with London Wasps testify to that.
A fly-half with one of the most dominant English teams of the professional era, he would later take his leadership skills, impressive game control and winning mentality to Clermont Auvergne where he helped turn a talented group of players starved of success into an extraordinary winning machine and, in the process, added the Top 14 crown to his résumé.
King initially crossed the Channel back in 2007 to pull on the famous yellow and blue shirt of the Marcel Michelin idols and has since made it his home - switching from player to skills coach in 2008 where he has since worked under Vern Cotter and his assistant Joe Schmidt, and now Franck Azema. Currently second in the Top 14 table and with five Heineken Cup wins in a row this season, including back-to-back wins against reigning champions Leinster, Aurelien Rougerie's side appear on course for another dominant campaign. "It has been a long process," said King. "Vern took charge of the club in 2006 and has laid down the foundations, recruited well and we have worked on our style and mentality."
It has been a bumpy road though, with their 2010 Top 14 triumph, a long-awaited success that ended an incredible streak of three consecutive defeats in the title decider, offset by their failure to repeat that success at home and an agonising defeat to Leinster in last season's Heineken Cup semi-finals. "I guess it all helped us to get to the point where we are now," added King. "We got a huge confidence boost with that 2010 title and we learned a precious lesson in the loss against Leinster last year and we are now a more mature team and determined to keep improving as we enter the crucial part of the season."
That quest for excellence has produced 17 wins in the 20 games they have played so far this season, an amazing 85% success - the same as Toulon and just behind Ulster who have suffered just two defeats. "We are satisfied with what we have done so far this season but we are very aware that we have yet to achieve our season targets," added King. "Entering the last two rounds of Heineken Cup pool stage there were 12/14 teams fighting for the quarter-finals and they are all very good sides. If you think that almost half of those teams will be out of the competition in a few days, you can understand why the Heineken Cup is considered such a competitive environment."
With a place in the quarter-finals already secured, Clermont will now re-focus on the Dublin finale. "Now the road will get even tougher," said King. "Toulon, Toulouse, Harlequins, Ulster, Saracens and the Tigers are all very good teams and to win the Heineken Cup we will need to win three very hard matches. From now, every single mistake may cost you a lot and teams will have to perform under a huge amount of pressure."
It would appear that the French clubs hold an advantage over their rivals for the Heineken Cup, with larger budgets luring a host of international stars but there is an ongoing debate over the need to protect France's younger player. "It's a very delicate situation," explained King. "On one hand you have the clear advantage of having some of the brightest stars of international rugby in your side and the boost that gives to the overall standard of the Top 14. But on the other hand you need to protect French youngsters and grant them the opportunity to develop their skills and gain experience for the benefit of the national side.
"If it's important to raise the quality of the domestic competition so to give French players the chance to compete every week at the highest possible level, it is also crucial that the Top 14 continues to give the French national team every chance to compete with the best sides in the world. At the end of the day, it all comes down to each club's perspective. I think that Clermont have made some very good decisions on the matter by bringing in players that helped develop talented young prospects like Wesley Fofana, Alexandre Lapandry and Jean-Marcel Buttin, just to name a few."

But surely the more generous salary cap in the Top 14 remains a trump card for the French clubs? "The Premiership is a very good competition as well," said King. "The English clubs have been forced to invest in their youngsters and so a lot of great players in their early 20s have exploded onto the scene in the last couple of seasons. The academy system is working so well in England that clubs with financial difficulties in the past are set to succeed as a result of introducing young players. For example, Wasps have managed to develop players like Joe Launchbury, Christian Wade, Eliot Daly and Billy Vunipola to name just a few and are now a force once again in the Premiership and in Amlin Challenge Cup as well."
At the end of the current season, King will return to the Premiership having agreed to join Jim Mallinder's support staff at Northampton Saints. "My years in France have been very important in my development as a player and coach," explained King. "Here in Clermont I have experienced a different way of thinking and that unique approach has certainly influenced the learning curve I am on as a coach and I can't thank Vern enough for allowing me the opportunity to start my coaching career here at Clermont."
On his forthcoming move to the Saints where he will step into the shoes vacated by Paul Grayson, he added: "I am so excited to join Northampton. I have known Jim since my time at Wasps and I think he is a great coach and rugby man. He has made a huge impact during his years at Franklin's Garden, as did Paul Grayson. The team is a very good mix of international stars, experienced quality players and young talent. They have Dylan Hartley who is a well respected leader and that's another key point. I really look forward to working with him and Dorian West to help the team develop and fulfil their great potential."
If reports are to be believed, then King was also one of the few names Connacht chief executive Tom Sears had hoped may replace Eric Elwood at the Sportsground at the end of the season, "Let's only say I had some other options" said King, "and that I decided to accept the one I found right for me and my growth as a coach."

The first edition of Gaia&;s Garden sparked the imagination of America&;s home gardeners, introducing permaculture&;s central message: Working with Nature, not against her, results in more beautiful, abundant, and forgiving gardens. This extensively revised and expanded second edition broadens the reach and depth of the permaculture approach for urban and suburban growers.
Many people mistakenly think that ecological gardening&;which involves growing a wide range of edible and other useful plants&;can take place only on a large, multiacre scale. As Hemenway demonstrates, it&;s fun and easy to create a &;backyard ecosystem&; by assembling communities of plants that can work cooperatively and perform a variety of functions, including:
This revised and updated edition also features a new chapter on urban permaculture, designed especially for people in cities and suburbs who have very limited growing space. Whatever size yard or garden you have to work with, you can apply basic permaculture principles to make it more diverse, more natural, more productive, and more beautiful. Best of all, once it&;s established, an ecological garden will reduce or eliminate most of the backbreaking work that&;s needed to maintain the typical lawn and garden.
"Become a sustainable producer of resources instead of a wasteful consumer. This wonderful book shows you how by helping you create and enhance beautiful backyard ecosystems within the garden. Put this book into action, and you'll begin to live an example that positively shifts your own community and beyond. Best of all, doing so with this book is simple, juicy, and fun."--Brad Lancaster, author of Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond and http: //www.HarvestingRainwater.com
"Toby's fun, well-grounded, and engaging book is fast becoming a classic, and deservedly so. Practical yet visionary, broad-ranging yet focused on the basics one needs to know, this is a great place to start on the permaculture path. The new edition builds solidly on the success of the first. Congratulations!"--Dave Jacke, co-author of the two-volume Edible Forest Gardens
"The world didn't come with an operating manual, so it's a good thing that some wise people have from time to time written them. Gaia's Garden is one of the more important, a book that will be absolutely necessary in the world ahead."--Bill McKibben, author of Deep Economy and Hope, Human and Wild
"Permaculture gardens are no longer a thing of the future. They are here to stay and flourish. Gaia's Garden is enlightening and required reading for all people who desire to make their home's landscape healthy, sustainable, and healing."--Robert Kourik, author of Designing and Maintaining Your Edible Landscape--Naturally
"Gaia's Garden is simply the best permaculture book ever written, and is in the running for best gardening book ever written. No one should be without it."--Sharon Astyk, author of Depletion and Abundance: Life on the New Home Front
"Toby Hemenway's Gaia's Garden will be recorded in history as a milestone for gardeners and landscapers--a fusion of the practical and the visionary--using the natural intelligence of Earth's symbiotic communities to strengthen and sustain ecosystems in which humans are a partner, not a competitor. An amazing achievement showing how we can and must live in harmony with nature!"--Paul Stamets, author of Mycelium Running: How Mushrooms Can Help Save the World

Published in Scranton Times-Tribune, 2013.
Standing on a hilltop above his Wayne County cattle farm, Bob Rutledge surveys rolling hills and a sea of green grass. His gaze falls to the earth beneath his worn brown boots, where he believes more than a mile below the surface lies an opportunity - natural gas.
But Mr. Rutledge, whose ragged blue jeans betray his love for hard work, will never know if that opportunity can be realized unless an obscure regulatory agency lifts its ban on drilling in the Delaware River basin.
"We don't know because we will never know," said Mr. Rutledge, 48, of Damascus Twp., whose ancestors began settling here a few years before the Civil War. "To have it right at our fingertips and have it actually happening just 30 miles away is disappointing."
While gas drilling thrives throughout the state, a large swath of Northeast Pennsylvania still remains off-limits. This is in stark contrast to what is happening in a neighboring watershed, the Susquehanna River basin. There, the Susquehanna River Basin Commission has exercised less control over the industry, leaving most of the regulation, besides water withdrawals, to the state.
In May 2010, the Delaware River Basin Commission, based in West Trenton, N.J., declared a moratorium on natural gas extraction within the basin, a nearly 14,000-square-mile watershed that straddles four states and is home to the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. Since then, environmentalists and landowners in favor of gas drilling have tried to persuade, through their attorneys and massive letter-writing campaigns, the commission to either completely close the door on the industry or open the watershed to wide-scale development.
Yet three years later, nothing has changed. Environmentalists are pleased, but worried the commission may lift the moratorium. Landowners, who want their land developed, are becoming more frustrated and fear gas companies will pull out. Mr. Rutledge heads the Northern Wayne Property Owners Alliance, which banded together nearly 1,300 families to lease tens of thousands of acres for development to two drilling companies, Hess Corp. and Newfield Exploration Co.
Those companies, which partnered to explore the potential of the Marcellus Shale in Wayne County, have exercised a provision in their lease with NWPOA that allows them to halt lease payments to landowners until the commission lifts the ban.
"It just aggravates me, because we went through a lot of effort and spent a lot of time," said Mr. Rutledge, whose 500-acre farm is under lease.
Mr. Rutledge believes gas development would have a huge economic impact. Most of northern Wayne County is jobless wilderness and farmland. He listed community members who have committed suicide because of financial troubles. If given the economic boom, a "farmer can work with something else than 50-year-old equipment," he said. "We got our beautiful scenery, but we're living in poverty. A lot of our members are getting fed up waiting ... because of a bunch of politicians working in other states."
Politics is a real aspect to the battle over environmental and mineral rights concerns in the watershed, where much of the fight consists of behind-the-scenes negotiations and bickering. Then, there is the difficulty of trying to get five governments with vastly different constituencies to work together on a complicated and divisive issue.
The governors of Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey and New York and a federal representative from the Army Corps of Engineers make up the five-member river basin commission board, which has the power to give the go-ahead or bar drilling with a single vote.
"It's not a simple process to develop a regulatory framework for something as complicated as natural gas drilling and have five governments work out the particulars," said commission spokesman Clarke Rupert,
A product of the Kennedy Administration, the commission is charged with protecting water quality and quantity in the basin, which provides drinking water to millions of people in New York City as well as numerous communities in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. At the time the commission announced the moratorium, it said the move was necessary to allow for development of its own environmental safety regulations over the industry, which would be in addition to state environmental rules gas.
Meanwhile, more than 100,000 acres leased to gas companies in Wayne County cannot be drilled to extract gas. Pike and Monroe counties and small portions of Lackawanna and Luzerne counties are also subject to the moratorium, although leasing has not been as extensive in these areas.
No Marcellus Shale well has been hydraulically fractured in the Delaware River watershed, but in the Susquehanna River watershed, scores of wells are producing gas.
Curt Coccodrilli's land straddles the dividing line. He would like a gas well on his Jefferson Twp., Lackawanna County, property near Archbald Mountain Road, except nearly all of his 125 acres lay in the Delaware River watershed. A small sliver, about an acre or two, is in the Susquehanna River watershed.
He believes gas companies have been reluctant to lease his property because of the commission's ban, although some experts say there is no viable gas production potential in Lackawanna County. That remains to be seen.
"To literally cut off a section of Pennsylvania, we feel like we are in no-man's land," said Mr. Coccodrilli, a member of the NWPOA who has other leased land by Hess and Newfield in northern Wayne County.
"We feel like we are second-class citizens in our own state," Mr. Coccodrilli said, likening it to an "economic iron curtain."
"Three years later, there is just zero communication about it (with the DRBC)," he said. "Just do something."
The DRBC did allow a handful of exploratory wells to be drilled in Wayne County because those wells received permits from the state Department of Environmental Protection prior to when the moratorium was declared. Texas-based Newfield Exploration Co. and New York City-based Hess Corp. drilled five exploratory wells as part of that agreement.
The agency released its rough draft of natural gas regulations for public review and comment in December 2010. Afterwards, pro- and anti-drilling concerns flooded the agency with tens of thousands of written comments about the rules. In November 2011, the DRBC published another set of draft regulations, guided by public comment.
The commission scheduled a special meeting later that month to consider adopting the rules. The meeting was postponed and has never been rescheduled. For Mr. Coccodrilli and other landowners in the basin, they are fed up with waiting and fear that gas companies like Newfield and Hess may walk away because it appears there will be no chance gas extraction will happen in the Delaware River watershed.
"Over here, we have commercially viable shale, and we can't extract it," said Mr. Coccodrilli.
"The anti-drilling community held them (the DRBC) hostage," he said. That community couldn't be happier, but they realize any day the playing field could change.
All it takes is a vote.
"This moratorium is extremely fragile," said Barbara Arrindell, director of Damascus Citizens for Sustainability, an environmental group with an office just across the Delaware River from Wayne County in Narrowsburg, N.Y.
"Within 10 days they could call a meeting and pass" the regulations, she said.
They have been fighting to keep gas drilling out of the basin. They believe the industry pollutes water and air, will ruin the Delaware River and spoil the vast, undeveloped forests in the basin.
"Overall, the cumulative impacts are huge," Ms. Arrindell said. The Delaware River basin "is not ours to despoil. It's not ours to trash. It belongs to the future. ... Trucks, spills, do we want this? Should anybody be subject to this?"
She believes gas development will lead to the industrialization of the watershed, damage its pristine beauty, and harm human health.
"We were formed preliminarily in response to this threat and continue to regard it as the biggest threat to the environment and health of the watershed ... that we've ever seen," she said. The commission does not have a vote scheduled to consider the revised drilling rules, Mr. Rupert said. He does not know when that will happen.
"As soon as we get the word ... we'll get that word out to folks as quickly as possible," he said. "They (the commissioners) continue to have discussions and consultations with each other (and) working cooperatively to reach a consensus."

We check-in with guests who came on the program at moments when their lives were in transition.
Early on in the program we learned that a story doesn't have to be particularly dramatic in order to be memorable. It started when Angie Anderson wrote to us to say: "I drive from Apex to Durham (North Carolina) every day to work... Every morning, without fail, a little man stands beside the road in front of a ramshackle building and waves. It's a small, low wave and he waves at every car that passes."
Dick Gordon shares his thoughts about his eight years hosting the program.
Ailyn Perez and Stephen Costello are husband-and-wife opera singers. They talk with Dick about the peculiarity of their relationship, which includes competing to see who can hold the longest notes, and trying to get cast in the same productions so that they can spend time together.
Climb up 130 feet into the crown of a rainforest tree in New Guinea and wait. And wait. Wildlife photographer Tim Laman tells Dick about his journey to photograph every species of the Birds of Paradise. It took him 8 years and 18 expeditions to do it, and there are still a few he was not able to capture. The feathers and colors are hard to believe.
Jennifer Thompson was a college student when she was brutally raped. During the attack, she tried to memorize what the man looked like so she could identify him later. She pointed to Ronald Cotton, and he spent 11 years in prison for a crime he did not commit.
LaMonte Armstrong was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of his elderly next door neighbor. He spent the next 17 years fighting for his freedom, was exonerated last summer, and is still trying to negotiate life in a world he was removed from for years.
Jason Puracal was a real estate agent working in Nicaragua when he was wrongfully convicted of drug trafficking, money laundering, and organized crime. He was sentenced to 22 years in prison and taken to one of the worst prisons in the country, La Modelo. His sister Janis, a lawyer in Seattle, led the charge for his release which eventually occurred 2 and-a-half years later.
Greg Hampikian is a forensic DNA expert who works using DNA technology to free innocent individuals in prison. He says that new technology is allowing smaller amounts of DNA to be analyzed, which means that more cases can be reopened, but that can also cause problems as there is more room for human error.
Scott Hornoff was a Rhode Island police officer when he was charged with murder in 1996. He was sentenced to life in prison but was eventually exonerated in 2002 after another man confessed to the crime. Since his exoneration he has been unable to find work in this country so he has become a private security consultant working in Afghanistan.

We think this is the thickest shag rug in the industry. We have added more wool to our best selling Aros Collection and came up with Metropolitan. The added wool is a thinner yarn denier than the felted wool and it makes the rug less contemporary and more transitional. With 100% New Zealand Wool, 6 fashion colors and a wide variety of sizes we think we have a new best seller in Metropolitan.

I've been sold on Plack for a while. This clarifies a part of the reason nicely1.
(It's referring to the PSGI spec rather than Plack, but I figure the latter needs press a bit more)
Quick thought though – if a page takes a long time to generate, the stdout technique can deliver a bit at a time. Is there a plack plugin for that, or is the answer to go for ajax these day and deliver the page outline asap?
1. Namely that printing to stdout always seemed like a horrible and inefficient hack.

Posted by Christian Scharen on Sunday, March 09, 2014 12:30 AM
On the church's to-do list, mission is often the focus of one committee, a pull-down tab on the church website. Often, mission is understood as something some of "us" take up as a way to help "others"—those in need far away from our home and church. This is a traditional understanding of mission, one that arose during a time when the assumption was that everyone nearby is already Christian. While it is a view of mission motivating untold acts of kindness and hours of committed labor and love, it is also a view of mission ill-fitted to our increasingly post-Christian culture.
What if we understand mission as less about what we do and more about what God is doing? God is loving and reconciling the world, and God, we claim, catches us up into that work -- all of us, all the time. That is a pretty exciting vision for being church, and it just might change what we think mission means.
Often, mission is understood as something some of "us" take up as a way to help "others"—those in need far away from our home and church. This is a traditional understanding of mission, one that arose during a time when the assumption was that everyone nearby is already Christian. While it is a view of mission motivating untold acts of kindness and hours of committed labor and love, it is also a view of mission ill-fitted to our increasingly post-Christian culture.
As many of you know, at Luther we are re-framing mission for the sake of living into what might be called "a new apostolic era." The phrase is an intentional recovery of the term "apostle" from the early church. The word "apostle" means "one who is sent." The apostolic imperative derives from, among other places, John's Gospel (20:21) where Jesus says "Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you." It is an understanding of the whole church being sent as "body of Christ" to the world, caught up in God's mission.
We might, it turns out, find God is doing something nearby, not just far away. We might be caught up in what God is doing in our own neighborhood, among those we thought were already in on the God-thing. But it turns out in North America today, more and more people (and especially young adults) are disconnected from religious organizations like the Lutheran church. Not that the world (and particular people within it) are experiencing any less brokenness, suffering, injustice, doubt or despair. But people do not so readily see the church as a place ready to respond to their pain and hope.
I've said this year I want to lift up places where our students and partner congregations and organizations are caught up in what God is doing in the world. You might even call it "participating in God" if you take the sense of God as a verb (love, for instance). Along with our team in Contextual Learning, I'm currently teaching the Internship Orientation course for the next year's interns. Each session ends with a section I call "missional imagination." I want to share a story from our last class (February 20).
Liz Cheney is serving her internship at Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Virginia, MN. Bob Simensen is the pastor, and serves as Liz's internship supervisor. Virginia is a small town on the Iron Range, about an hour north of Duluth. The church is a vibrant small town church, with active ministries inside and outside the church.
As Liz thought about her internship project, she developed a plan to embody this new apostolic vision of the church in mission to those right down the street. Liz is beginning The Bridge Ministry, a new initiative seeking to connect ministry outreach to the students at Mesabi Range Community College in town. This local community college doesn't have a campus ministry, and in order to make the "bridge" Liz is converting part of the church to be a hang-out "bridge" space-complete with comfortable couches, coffee makings, and other creature comforts. Students need 'third spaces' between their work and their home, and The Bridge Ministry create a way for relationships to be built in-between the church services and the secular community college experience.
Liz writes:
With any great "vision" or project, when God is involved we may not end up in the same place we thought we might when we started and that has certainly been the case for my project. The Iron Range is a hard place to "break" into and that has been the case with college students. I think if I had another year our church would be hopping with college students!
What I have discovered through this process is that God works in spite of our goals and visions and is always up to things even when we don't realize it or see it right away. The Bridge Ministry has served people that I never set out for it to and it has been a really wonderful "space" in the church!
The "space" in the church has served children, Wednesday worship services, AA, grief support and spiritual direction groups as well as so many others that can come and find respite, quiet or meeting space that has the feel and comfort of your own living room. God has indeed been up to something here at Our Savior's!
What a wonderful testimony! I'm grateful for Liz's story, and for her agreeing to share it here. As we go forward in 2014, I want to continue to ask—with Liz and Bob in Virginia, MN, "what is God doing loving your part of the world?" When we can ask this question afresh, I believe, we'll see how can the church and its leaders become caught up in participating with God.
I hope others of you are willing to take me up on this task: to ask yourselves how your lives, your ministries, your communities, are getting involved with what God is doing. How are you, as those who belong to Jesus, empower by the Holy Spirit, sent into the world to shine with God's love? In the face of grinding poverty, of the degradation of creation, of intolerance, of great hurt and illness, of deep shame and brokenness. Then write me a note and share your story!

Chrome Thanks for the great work you've done. Thanks for the release of the stable channel 15.0 that was long expected and described with respect to the bugs will have some problem for the end user?
I can't run it under Fedora. SELinux AVC denial :(
For main feature changes, see here: http://goo.gl/QEZ1t
Sync search engines seems like the biggest change.
@Fedor: sorry about the SELinux thing on Fedora. Chrome 16 builds should be OK if you want to try one of those?

Five or six crashes in less than an hour, after been very stable for months. I hope my automatically generated crash reports will help.
When will this release to Chromebooks? I'm really wanting to switch over to Stable from Beta because I offline Gmail doesn't work in Beta. is there a way to force an update?
Im not liking Google Chrome 15...
I hate the new tab page that can't be edited, I don't want people to see the most visited webpages... and can't remove it, neither my applications =/
Next release should add an option to remove, or an easier way to remove it as I can't find any way to remove them.
Dear Tovagulet, you should try the Incredible Start Page extension to solve your problems with the new tab. LM
I'm confused. If there are some "really great improvements," why don't you tell us what they are? This is, after all, the Google Chrome Releases blog, not a Google Chrome Security blog. There is always great detail given for security fixes, but never for other improvements. What gives?
All scrollbars are blue now ☺
after intalling the upgrade, alot pages dont load, some load a bit but they freeze
(sorry for my bad english)
I just wish Chrome did support web fonts better. It displays the web fonts the worst from all browsers that support them and that includes such relicts as IE7. Choosing not to enable any sort of smoothing on older OSes is also hard to understand.
@Peter, you can always get more info on new features in a release at the Google Chrome blog (http://chrome.blogspot.com/); hope that helps.
Eh? None of my extensions work now. None at all! I'm running the stable release, too...
Gah! Sergey made like 15 G's with Chrome 15!!! Ballinnnnnnnn
Your print to PDF on the Mac is NOT an improvement! It doesn't allow integration Apple's Preview which is important if you want to actually EDIT AND ANNOTATE the article before you file it.
This version is telling that you need to install plugin??????
this is not stable why google updated this version as stable?????
great to see Google gives money to ppl that finds exploits on Chrome..
great policies you have there
I wish my shitty company (ArcelorMittal, which belongs to a goddamn greedy fuckin indian) did this.
Google Chrome is the best web browser !
I've never had a crash or a problem with the web browser! I love it!
Thanks Google
Still there is no "clear history older than XXX" option.
Still there is no "clear history older than XXX" option.
I can now play WebM video on YouTube at a solid 30 fps for 720p full screen, whereas before it was only half that much. Thanks, Google!
Just one thing fix the built in flash for chrome it is glitchy.
The new NEW TAB page is horrible!
With the latest release, I'm getting a lot more "browser tab crashed" messages than before. I was thinking Chrome got rid of this pesky message.
Great update but there is the issue of the Skype Add-on which causes Chrome to continually prompt user to update plugin, I installed Java twice and the Media Player plugin more than that only to find after a frustrating afternoon of the yellow band accusing me of not having a plugin updated that it was an issue with Skype. It does not auto update so cancelling or clicking on update has no effect
What spacebear is pointing out is true, though i'm using Chromium 17 right now and i dont anymore those random crashes.
But most importantly, those crashes are recurring when you open a page and quickly after, by using the new tab button, you open a new page (roughly one or two second after) the browser tab crash message is displayed. This has been the case since Chrome 13 and we're now at Chromium 17, the issue is still there.
I'm running on WinXPSP3 if that helps.
Is there a chance that the various installers for google applications will be able to use an authenticating proxy? I am getting frustrated as I was able to install Chrome last night with no problems, but today it just stalls with no other message than ' No internet connection' and a link to a help-section that goes nowhere near suggesting an offline install'.. Searching for this issue reveals this has been a problem since at least 2008..
Is there a way to get the old New Tabs back? I really hate this new one. It's nothing but a big inconvenience.
Glad I'm not the only one who hates it.
You can no longer pin tiles or re-arrange them. This is such a huge step backwards, I just don't understand why they did this...

Tripoli, Libya (CNN) -- For 42 years, Moammar Gadhafi ruled Libya with an iron fist, a mercurial leader who inspired fear in Libya and beyond.
Now he's on the run, hunted by rebels who made a lightning advance into Tripoli. The rebels overran Gadhafi's compound and are scouring the country for signs of the leader, who has not been seen in public for weeks.
On Thursday, a radio station aired a defiant message, purportedly from Gadhafi, but most other signs point to the end of Gadhafi's long rule.
The 69-year-old strongman came to power in a bloodless coup against King Idris in 1969, when he was just an army captain.
By the end of his rule, he claimed to be "King of Kings," a title he had a gathering of tribal leaders grant him in 2008.
The fighting that dislodged Gadhafi started with anti-government demonstrations in February and escalated into a nationwide civil war. The protests started days after the fall of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, whom Gadhafi had supported. That month, Gadhafi vowed to never leave Libya and to "die as a martyr at the end."
For months, rebel fighters -- in control of the eastern city of Benghazi and other areas -- had been trying to move closer toward Tripoli, in the west. Recent advances allowed them to cut off some key supply routes for Gadhafi, bringing them closest yet to their goal, and by August 21, they had broken through into the capital.
The following morning, raucous rebel supporters packed the city's Green Square, the same place where the longtime leader's supporters had gathered for months to voice their loyalty. By Tuesday evening, Gadhafi's Bab al-Aziziya compound was being ransacked.
When Gadhafi assumed power, he fashioned himself as an Arab nationalist. The United States tried to work with him at first, but quickly found out that his brand of nationalism included opposition to the West.
By 1972 he was urging Muslims to fight Western powers, including the United States and Great Britain, and backing black militants in the United States as he pursued a leadership position in the Arab world. His "Green Book," first published in 1975, envisioned a radically simple system of "People's Conferences" that would replace political structures from tribes to parliaments.
Arab leaders largely shunned him, seeing him more as a "buffoon" and a "clown" than a potential pan-Arab leader, said Dirk J. Vandewalle, a Libya expert at Dartmouth University.
That rejection from Arab and African leaders, combined with his growing anti-Western sentiment, left him to turn to terrorism in the 1970s and 1980s, Vandewalle said.
In 1986, Libya was implicated in the fatal bombing at a West Berlin nightclub that left one American service member dead, prompting then-U.S. President Ronald Reagan to dub the Libyan leader the "mad dog of the Middle East." Reagan ordered the United States to bomb Libya and imposed economic sanctions against the North African country.
Two years later, Libya was implicated in the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, which exploded over Lockerbie, Scotland.
Years later, Gadhafi appeared to moderate and seek rapprochement with the West. In 1999, he turned over suspects in the Lockerbie bombing, and in 2003 the country agreed to eliminate weapons of mass destruction.
In the years before the current rebellion started, Gadhafi even hired a public relations firm to burnish his global image as a statesman and a reformer. Starting in 2006, the leader spent about $3 million a year to execute a public relations strategy that included paying think-tank analysts and former government officials to take a free trip to Libya for lectures, discussions and personal meetings with Gadhafi.
In 2009, he addressed the U.N. General Assembly for the first and only time. In his 96-minute ramble, he denounced the Security Council as a "terror council," suggested the H1N1 swine-flu virus was a military tool and called for renewed investigations into the assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr.
Earlier this year, as people around the Middle East and North Africa began to challenge their leaders in the so-called Arab Spring movement, Gadhafi found himself a target. But while longtime Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was ousted after a few weeks, and even after the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi fell to the rebels, Gadhafi fought on and blamed outsiders, "armed gangs" and others for the violence.
In the end, the Libyan leader sealed his reputation with his crackdown on protesters and attacks against rebels and civilians alike.
Recently, international leaders accused Gadhafi's regime of committing human rights violations and killing civilians. The U.N. Security Council subsequently issued a no-fly zone over Libya and approved "all necessary measures" short of invasion to protect civilians. Officials in the Gadhafi regime, in turn, repeatedly accused NATO of killing civilians in airstrikes.
In April, Gadhafi wrote a letter to U.S. President Barack Obama, urging him to end the NATO bombing of his war-torn country. Gadhafi asked Obama to stop what he called the "unjust war against a small people of a developing country," adding that those in the opposition are terrorists and members of al Qaeda.
The NATO operations continued, however. In June, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Gadhafi, his son Saif al-Islam Gadhafi, and his brother-in-law Abdullah al-Sanussi. The warrants are "for crimes against humanity," including murder and persecution, "allegedly committed across Libya" from February 15 through "at least" February 28, "through the state apparatus and security forces," the court said in a statement.
CNN's Mike Pearson, Greg Botelho and Catherine Shoichet contributed to this report.

Look inside Download PDF (free)
This paper describes a Process Framework for an Interoperable Semantic Enterprise Environment (PF‑ISEE) for conceptualising knowledge by coupling business process activities and the Knowledge Transfer Cycle. The PF‑ISEE is triggered by an activity and starts the Knowledge Transfer Cycle. The Knowledge Transfer Cycle provides six core concepts with methods, tools and templates to create, manipulate, store and retrieve information. Within the Knowledge Transfer Cycle, special methods are applied in the context of knowledge intensive business process activities with a rep‑ resentation model that can be a global, role depended or an application inherited concept representation. The paper in‑ troduces the main advantages and challenges of each core concept and explains its position in the Knowledge Transfer Cycle. Furthermore, it is shown how the PF‑ISEE can be part of an Enterprise Semantic Web in order to integrate se‑ mantic tools and technologies in standard enterprise applications.
Keywords: Semantic interoperability, enterprise semantic web, semantic information retrieval, knowledge-co-production, knowledge-cooperation, knowledge transfer cycle

A GWENT council is to begin a two-year programme to rid its schools of asbestos.
Caerphilly County Borough Council aims to remove asbestos-containing materials from 37 of its schools. The £800,000 project – laid before the council cabinet's meeting last Wednesday – will see amosite asbestos products removed from occupied areas of school buildings around the county.
Asbestos insulation boards are commonly in many of the affected schools and will be removed from ceilings, wall panels and vent shafts to reduce the risk of accidental disturbance.
Following investigations in April 2012, Caerphilly schools which were constructed in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, were advised they must seek permission prior to undertaking work on the fabric of the school building.
Asbestos was routinely used as fire protection in the construction industry in this era and as the asbestos is concealed, any work undertaken may inadvertently disturb the asbestos product.
The councillors were told that robust arrangements were already place to manage asbestos in schools in compliance with legal requirements.
The first phase of works will address works required in 24 'category two' schools, which have amosite containing products in low-level areas such as asbestos wall boards in classrooms.
Currently the asbestos-containing material in these schools is undamaged and staff have been made fully aware of the procedures to follow should damage take place.
Once completed, the programme of works will see 95 per cent of Caerphilly county borough schools free from amosite asbestos products within occupied areas of the school building. The remaining five per cent of schools affected will have their amosite asbestos materials boarded over and sealed.
Cabinet members agreed funding for the asbestos removal works and commended the proactive work of the council to remove this risk from school buildings. The education capital health and safety budget together with corporate health and safety unallocated reserves, will be used to fund the works.
The recommendations put to council to remove the materials are to be completed by December 2016.
Eight schools were listed as already being asbestos-free.

Blair was established in 1869, a community located approximately 25 miles north of Omaha on the Missouri River. The undeveloped land was selected by the Sioux City and Pacific Rail Road as the site for tracks to cross the Missouri River. It was platted by the railroad to provide sites for industrial and retail development as well as homes and support services for railroad employees.
The town literally grew overnight with new construction and older buildings carried overland from surrounding communities. Before year end there were churches, a bank, a newspaper, a hotel, as well as dry good and hardware stores. The population had grown to such an extent that it challenged Fort Calhoun, a neighboring community to relinquish its position as county seat. Blair won and has held this title ever since.
Today with a zip code population of almost 12,500 people, Blair has an active main street and is known for its community spirit and friendly small town atmosphere. It is the site of several agricultural and service industries and is home for many Omaha commuters. With excellent schools and houses of all ages and price ranges it is a popular residential option for many families.
