# 4/6 Benefit for the Forest Defenders' Pepper Spray Q-tip lawsuit.
Bay Area premier of Bernadine Mellis'
"The Forest for the Trees: Judi Bari vs. the FBI",
a new documentry about Judi Bari and her successful lawsuit challenging the FBI repression of local forest activists.
WHEN: Wed April 6 2005 7pm�
WHERE: La Pena Cultural Center 3105 Shattuck Ave. Berkeley (near the Ashby BART).

Info: (510) 658-9178
Judi Bari v. the FBI 54 minutes
directed by Bernadine Mellis
In 1990, environmentalist and union organizer Judi Bari's car was
bombed.� Within three hours of the bombing, Bari was accused of
transporting the explosives that had nearly killed her.� Still in the
hospital, she was arrested, and labeled a terrorist in the national
media.� "The Forest for the Trees follows" Judi Bari's story,
culminating in her First Amendment case against the FBI.� At the
heart of the film, made by Bari's lawyer's daughter, is Bari, a folk hero
with an electrifying on-screen presence, and the legal battle against
law enforcement that few believed she could win.
Bernadine Mellis'� first film, Born,� is an experimental short that has screened at galleries and festivals in San Francisco (recently at The Lab's "Inside of Inside" and Madcat International Women's Film Festival) and New York City (including Galapagos Gallery, the Pioneer Theater, and Lady Fest East). The Golden Pheasant, an Orphan's Tale, a children's story Mellis wrote and directed, has also screened in museums and schools nationally , as well as on public television. Her father's role as lead attorney in Earth First! activist Judi Bari's civil case led Mellis to make The Forest for the Trees , her first documentary. --

� Member of Campaign for Community Safety and Police Accountability
On April 7 2003 hundreds of Bay Area anti-war, labor and community activists
picketed corporate war profiteers at the Oakland docks. The Oakland Police
Department (OPD), after meeting days before with maritime bosses, opened fire
on nonviolent people with wooden bullets, shot-filled
sacks and concussion grenades and charged people with motorcycles for two hours.
Their actions injured 60, including 7 long shore workers and 3 members of the
press, in the most violent attack in recent history on the anti-war movement,
and was denounced by the UN Commission on Human Rights. Picketers caused the
docks to shut down on April 7, 2003; and a month later on May 12 and one year
later on April 7, 2004.
Those arrested and facing bogus charges won their cases and there have been some
reforms to police practices won in civil suits in the aftermath, but the OPD and
Mayor Jerry Brown (who may run for California Attorney General) remain
unaccountable and dangerous.
Willow Rosenthal, urban farmer, community organizer, and anti-war social justice
activist, sustained permanent injuries on that day. We are a group of friends
of Willow and local activists who are raising money to assist her with her
medical expenses, as she has not received any compensation from the city of
Oakland. In the event that her case settles, any unused funds raised will be
diverted to anti-war organizing.

# Sun Apr 10 Dear Animal Friends,
Please mark your calendars for the Dog March at UCSF Mission Bay Campus!�
When:� Sunday, April 10th, 2005 at 10:45 A.M.� Rain or shine.�
The gathering and the march will last about an hour.
Where:� Corner of 16th Street and Owens Street, at the Mission Bay Campus
Parking:� From 16th Street, turn into the unnamed street between Owens and 3rd Street.�� (3rd Street intersects with 16th Street on the east end.) The parking lot is free on Sunday.
The Mission Bay Campus is on the east side of San Francisco, not far from the bay.� This is a newly-built branch campus.� It is more spacious than the older campus.� However, it is likely that the dog experiments, and countless other cruel and unnecessary experiments on monkeys, cats, pigs, sheep, rabbits, mice, hamsters, etc., are still being done at the old main campus.� At any rate, we do know that experiments on smaller animals such as mice and rats, or hamsters and guinea pigs, are happening at the new Mission Bay Campus.� It has been said that one of the new buildings there will house more monkeys.� The buildings are humongous, especially the UCSF Genentech Hall.
It would be ideal to have as many well-behaved dogs there as possible, but�if you don't have dogs�please come, too!� There will be snacks and drinks and water for people and pooches.� J� Sunday is chosen because too many people can�t make it on a weekday, and we need to tell the media that they can expect�100�pooches and people to be there.
Please mark your calendars.� Please kindly email or call me if you can make it this day:� firstname.lastname@example.com, 650-619-9713, so we can have a minimum confirmed count to promise the media. Thank you for all you do!!! J
Sincerely, Michelle (on behalf of groups and people who care)
P.S. Please feel free to outreach in any way you can!! Any ideas are welcome, too!!
Sunday, April 10th, 2005 at 11:00 A.M.� The gathering and the march will last an hour.
Corner of 16th Street and Owens Street, at the Mission Bay Campus

Dogs are much-loved pets.� But at the University of California San Francisco, they are nothing more than devices for so-called �medical research� to attract millions of dollars of grant money financed by taxpayers.�
Investigations by animal advocates uncovered recently that UCSF's Dr. Jeffrey Olgin will torment and murder 750 dogs in the next three years, claiming to study the stages of human heart failure.� His team will implant pacemakers to make the dogs' hearts beat outrageously fast; they will also surgically destroy their heart valves � all to cause artificial heart failure, from which to gather artificial data to publish.� The dogs will suffer in great pain for a period of time ranging from several days to as long as six months before they die, depending on the degree of problems and injuries caused. These experiments are not going to advance human medicine because it is already known that dog hearts - both anatomically and at the cellular level - are very different from those of humans, and better results can be achieved using humane human-based research methods.
Cardiologist John J. Pippin, M.D., F.A.C.C., a member of the Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine, calls these experiments �contrived� and �futile.� He states, �Better information is available from clinical and epidemiological observations, surgical and procedural results, autopsies, and human studies involving cardiac imaging and electrophysiological tests.�� It is already known that a dog�s heart is significantly different from that of a human anatomically, physiologically, and on the cellular level.
100 dogs and their people will gather at UCSF�s newly built Mission Bay Campus to show public outrage towards UCSF's dog experiments, along with other useless and cruel experiments.�
Animal advocates have made many civilized attempts to persuade the Chancellor J. Michael Bishop to end cruel projects.� As the Institutional Official under the Animal Welfare Act, the Chancellor has the power to end projects, but he chooses not to do so.� UCSF and its researchers receive $166 Million in grants financed by our tax dollars from the National Institutes of Health per year for projects involving animals. In their response to people's letters, UCSF has stated that they will not dialogue with people concerned about their animal experiments.�
What follows is a link to the details of Dr. Jeffrey Olgin's dog experiments along with some of the most egregious experiments at UCSF recently uncovered:

Public Hearing
Marin County Board of Supervisors Resolution
For a Moratorium on Loud Sonars
Known to Harm Whales
What: Public Hearing for Resolution
When: April 12th at 6:30 PM
Where: County Board of Supervisors Chambers, 3501 Civic Center Drive, San Rafael
(Room 329)
An opportunity to show your support to protect our whales and other marine mammals is coming up on the evening of April 12 at the Marin County Board of Supervisors meeting room at the Marin Civic Center.
We are delighted to announce that the Seaflow Resolution, which opposes the deployment of high intensity active sonar, will be introduced to the Marin Board of Supervisors at their meeting by Charles McGlashan, as his first act of legislative sponsorship. �The Resolution has a much better chance of being passed by the Board if there is significant public support for it.
The Resolution emphasizes that, as Marin residents we are privileged to have whales migrate along our coastline, how we benefit economically from having them here, and how, in turn, we have a responsibility to help protect our whales and marine life from life threatening active sonar. �
We now know that whales and marine life are threatened by active sonar that blasts through thousands of cubic miles, compromising marine habitat and even killing marine life. Recent evidence links whale and dolphin mass strandings and deaths with U.S. Navy mid frequency active sonar exercises. �The Navy would like to be exempt from environmental laws regulating ocean noise, despite the increasing global consensus that �ocean noise� is threatening marine life. It is very important to note that there are other more benign technologies already, or soon to be deployed, that do not harm marine ecosystems and can perform the same function as these sonars.
Please email this to your friends and join us!
For further information about Seaflow and/or the Resolution, please refer to the Seaflow website

Public Health through Environmental Health
Thursday, APRIL 14 6:30PM-9:00PM
Sponsored by the Santa Clara County Medical Association and
Collaborative on Health and the Environment
Medicine today focuses most of its attention on diagnosing, controlling or "curing" illness after it has developed, while preventative medicine has taken a back seat. Asthma rates, cancer rates, endocrine disorders and learning disorders are all on the rise. Although diet, smoking cessation and exercise are important, a growing body of scientific evidence points to chemical pollution in the air, water, and food as a major contributor to diseases of our modern culture. Research on endocrine disruptors, heavy metals and industrial pollutants has spawned the emerging field of medicine called Environmental Health. Learn about the important connection between environmental health and public health. This event is one in a series of conferences for physicians. This particular event is free and also open to the public. You are welcome to inform others of this event as well.

# BURNING RIVER � June 25 & 26
Saturday & Sunday, 2 hours north of the Bay Area on the Upper Cache River
Can you imagine 100+ Burners on a fabulous, hot, sunny day on the river?� We can dress in crazy attire, have water battles (Super Soakers are a must), chill out on the beaches and just enjoy being in a wet, tree-lined environment with amazing scenery right before our eyes.� Once you are on the river, there is nothing to do but have fun and relax.� All meals are taken care of and all gear is sent ahead.� The most you have to worry about is loosing your paddle and having to swim.
At night, we can put on the Bling!Bling!, light up our e-poi/e-staffs while dazzling the natives by the river�s edge.� With a little coordination, we could set up our own cozy village with a community bar�among the trees and deeply connect with one another.
If we get enough interest, we may be able to take over one campsite for ourselves (run the music, stay up all night,�etc.)�and have leverage to book a campground on the way for the preceding Friday night stay or perhaps negotiate discount rooms at the local casino for Friday night.� Stay tuned for these opportunities�
This is an all-inclusive, family-oriented (12 yrs +/min. 65 lbs.) event so we encourage you to bring the whole Burner family and to post this announcement out to other Burner communities.� The company running it has Burners on the payroll but the guests will be a mix of Burners and non-Burners � our goal is to make it mostly Burners!�
The scheduled trip includes 2 days of volcanic river canyon rafting (rated class 3 but is mostly class 2) in either a 2 person �ducky� or a 4 persons raft.� The $139 pp fee includes all on-river meals and evening entertainment, life jacket, camping fees, parking, raft rental, paddles and shuttle service.� There will be some free tickets for those in our community who cannot afford this adventure but passionately want to attend.
2 hours north of the Bay Area on the Upper Cache River.�
email@example.com See you on the river! Glimmer

If you're in the market to buy a kitesurfing wetsuit, you need to keep a few factors in mind. Most important are the fit, the warmth and the movement.
Buying this kind of kit is not something you will be doing all that often. Our team is always available for a chat to help you feel confident about your decision, so you can be confident before your purchase. Local kitesurfers are most welcome to come over and try as many as you want. We've got the full Mystic range available in most sizes.
So, let's get into a bit more of the detail!
Why do you need a wetsuit?
You need to ask yourself what are you buying it for and when are you using it. If you want to keep kiting right through winter, then the thickest full-body suit will be best. If warmth is not important because, for example, you're heading into for example a tropical summer and planning on perfecting some more kiting tricks, then a thick suit is not right for you. Instead go for a short-sleeve and leg option with low millimetre thickness, so as to give you maximum movement.
All this said it really comes down to where you are in the world. If you live for example in the UK, Ireland or Scandinavia, then chances are that you need fairly thick neoprene even in summer. Conversely, if you do most of your kiting in the Mediterranean then you'll likely need thinner kit for most of the year.
Again, this is easily figured out so just contact us for a chat.
What are the benefits of a kitesurfing wetsuit?
This is paramount kit, particularly in cold conditions. Not only will it work to keep you as warm as possible, but in summer it's going to better protect your skin against UV rays, wind, jellyfish, stingers etc. Also, it will help to keep you buoyant during those infrequent times when you're in the water, rather than on it!
What is the best wetsuit fit?
You want your kit to be a very snug fit – no bulges anywhere and really feeling as if it were a second skin. Every part of the fit should be snug, especially around the neck, wrists and ankles as these are evidently where water might otherwise seap in. Don't stress if you step into your gear and find it a bit of a process – this should be the case. Over time you will find getting in and out becomes faster and easier (we have plenty of tips to help!).
Check out this size chart to get an idea of the best suit for you physique.
Wetsuit warmth
Evidently the thicker the neoprene; the warmer it is going to be. If you really suffer in the cold you can consider some thermal base layers designed for aquatic sports – again we can help out here. Remember however, that the thicker your neoprene, the less stretch and movement you will have. That said technology has come so far these days that even the thickest versions give a surprising level of flex.
We stock full body suits which will cover all limbs, as well as summer version gear which finishes short in the arms and legs.
How are wetsuits measured?
Thickness is measured in what looks like a ratio, so let's say 3/2. This indicates the mm thickness around the core/body (so in this instance it's 3mm) and then around the limbs (so 2mm).
Broadly speaking, for kiting we would recommend a 3/2 to 4/3 to be used in the Northern European summer. For a Northern European winter you'd need to be looking at a thickness of 5/4 or 6/4.
Wetsuit seam construction
When it comes to gear for kiting, you've three types of seam construction available:
- Flatlock Seams
This seam looks a bit like train tracks on the outside and inside of the gear. Some water will seep in through flatlock seams, so you should only consider this option for your summer suits.
- Sealed Seams
This combines stitching and glue and although a little water can still get through, it's appropriate for colder water conditions.
- Sealed and Liquid Taped Seams
For the very coldest of conditions, this is the seam you should be looking for. It combines liquid tape over one or both sides of the stitching, and is designed to keep all water out.
Looking for a great kitesurf wetsuit shop? Best wetsuit deals are here!
Now you've got the key information around buying the best kitesurfing wetsuit for you, head over to our Mystic sale and see what's on offer. We're always keen to hear from you, help out some more, and strike the very best deals, so reach out to us!

Amore mio, mio Lasagna,
Quando ho visto questo cuore fluttuare sopra il villagio di Torno, ho pensato "Anche i cieli celebrano il nostro amore".
Ti penso sempre. Tu sei nel mio sangue, e scorre nelle mie vene.
Se il mio cuore dovesse vivere al di fuori del mio petto, come potrebbe una padella 8 X 8 contenerlo?
Presto saremo insieme … nel mio stomaco.
Conto i giorni e comprerò una buona bottiglia di vino rosso.
Ti piacerebbe questo?
*insert your Italian name here*
See? I wrote this all romantic Italia style! Here it is in English.
My Love, My Lasagna,
When I saw this heart floating above the village of Torno, I thought " Even the heavens celebrate our love".
I think of you always. You are in my blood and course through my veins.
If my heart were to live outside my own chest, how could an 8 X 8 pan contain it?
Soon we will meet…in my stomach.
I am counting the days and will buy a good bottle of red wine.
Would you like that?
*insert your American name here*
Have fun making this for your own love, and if you don't have a love, make it for the one you're with. Yourself! It freezes very well, and can be thawed and reheated.
Heart Shaped Lasagna
Lasagna noodles (this is the only tricky part – I use a gluten free fresh pasta that I purchase. If you use a dry noodle, figure about 12 pieces, then par cook them. Get them pliable, but not cooked thoroughly)
2 cups A Most Unusual Ragù (from previous post)
1 1/2 C ricotta con latte
little bit dry oregano
little bit fresh grated nutmeg
1/4 C fresh chopped parsley
little bit paprika
little bit fresh cracked pepper
1/2 pound very thinly sliced dry whole milk mozzarella
fresh grated Parmigiano Reggiano
Heart Shaped Baking Pan
Cook noodles if needed. If using a cooked noodle, gently oil them once you pull them out so they don't stick together and lay them out singly on waxed paper. Only cook for about 1/2 the recommended time. Fresh pasta is best if you can find it.
Mix ricotta, herbs and spices in a bowl and set aside.
Preheat oven to 400 F. Put 1/2 C of ragù in the bottom of the pan and spread around. Put a layer of noodles on top, off unneeded or overlapping pieces. Once it's assembled you can cut around the edges to make a good heart shape.
Put a layer of mozzarella cheese slices on top of the pasta, then spread 1/2 cup of ricotta mixture on top of that. Add 1/2 C sauce, spread, and then add another layer of the noodles.
Repeat twice. Once the last layer of noodles is on top, take a knife and shape the outside of edges of the lasagna so it is definitely heart shaped. Top with mozzarella.
Gently press the center of the lasagna so that it is only slightly lower than the edges. Place in the oven for 25 – 30 minutes.
Remove from oven and turn oven to broil (high). Grate Parmigiano all over the top, and put foil around the edges of the lasagna and pan.
Return to oven and broil for 2-3 minutes.
Pull out, let sit for a minute or two, drizzle fresh olive oil over the top, and serve.
Your investment/donation pays for every day living costs and keeps the blog ad free! I appreciate everything no matter how big or small. I recommend purchasing 1 million items. Haven't tested if the system is capable of that.

Markets held relative steady on Wednesday following a status-quo announcement from the Federal Reserve and a fizzle in red-hot tech stocks.
While stocks cooled, investor Bill Ackman stayed hot, at least hot in the sense of his tone to shareholders of Automatic Data Processing Inc. (ADP) - Get Report following comments from the company's CEO in regards to his ongoing campaign at the company.
In an exclusive interview with TheStreet's Ron Orol, Ackman lashed back against a suggestion that his goals for share-price improvement at ADP can only be achieved quickly by eliminating up to 20,000 jobs.
"This is a scare tactic," Ackman said in his interview with The Street.
ADP CEO Carlos Rodriguez suggested recently that Ackman's goals at ADP can only be achieved quickly by eliminating 15,000 to 20,000 of its 58,000 employees. The comments come as Ackman is waging an intense boardroom battle, seeking to install three dissident directors onto the board of the payroll processor at the company's 2018 annual meeting scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 7.
As Ackman and ADP's battle gets ready to come to a head, another battle may be brewing. After a dismal week at Mattel Inc. (MAT) - Get Report , which has investors contemplating its value in a sale, a frequent activist investor is now the toy company's second-biggest shareholder.
Southeastern Asset Management Inc. has reported a 10.25% stake in Mattel and though its stake is currently passive (it was disclosed in a 13G filing not a 13D), passive stakes are sometimes converted into activist 13D stakes.
Memphis-based Southeastern's recent investments include United Technologies Corp. , set to buy airplane parts maker Rockwell Collins Inc. (COL) for $30 billion including debt after pressure from fellow activist Dan Loeb, and Deltic Timber Corp. (DEL) , which Southeastern pressured to pursue a full range of strategic alternatives.
And in regards to the New York terrorist attack on Tuesday, a number of companies may find themselves under increased scrutiny. Among them, Uber Technologies Inc., which employed the motorist who killed eight and wounded more than a dozen. The ride-sharing company has drawn criticism for its screening of drivers and for its corporate culture and this certainly won't help matters, especially as news continues to trickle out that a major investment from Japan's Softbank into Uber may be in jeopardy due to ties to former CEO Travis Kalanick.

Photo of the day: A very sweet business
Kids across the country are likely munching away at the spoils of their trick-or-treating escapades. Somewhere in that pillowcase filled with goodies is likely any number of products made by Tootsie Roll Industries Inc. (TR) - Get Report . Its confectionary treats aside, Tootsie Roll Industries may be attracting the interest of potential buyers, or even an activist investor, if the company cannot hammer out a succession plan for its 85-year-old CEO, Ellen Gordon, TheStreet's sister publication The Deal reported. Last month, short-seller Spruce Point Capital Management LLC released a 63-page report blasting Tootsie Roll and its management. Among the criticisms were a lack of candor with shareholders, asbestos problems, poor corporate governance and declining brands and shelf space. Tootsie Roll was founded in 1896 in New York City and has managed to stay in the minds of consumers with colorful and creative ad campaigns. Above is an ad from 1961.

According to the National Park Service, a visitor to Yellowstone National Park was injured on the afternoon of May 1.
72-year old Virginia Junk of Boise, Idaho, was butted in the thigh, pushed, and tossed off a trail by a bison in the Old Faithful area. Junk said she did not see the animal as she walked around a bend in the trail and wasn't able to move away before the animal dropped its head and pushed her off the trail.
Rangers responded to the incident and treated Junk's minor injuries before she was transported by ambulance to Madison Memorial Hospital in Rexburg, Idaho.
According to NPS.gov, this is the first incident of a bison injuring a visitor in 2018. There was one incident in 2017 and five in 2015.
Animals in Yellowstone are wild and unpredictable, no matter how calm they appear to be. When an animal is near a trail, boardwalk, parking lot, or in a developed area, give it space. Always stay at least 100 yards (91 m) away from bears and wolves, and at least 25 yards (23 m) away from all other animals, including bison and elk. If need be, turn around and go the other way to avoid interacting with a wild animal in close proximity.

To the find the right career, you need to find someone who has found theirs. Stella of the Reo Group is exactly that someone.
Stella Petrou Concha recalls that her drive to elevate people was all-consuming even at the age of six.
Whilst other kids were not yet of an age to appreciate the benefits her special qualities could bestow upon them, she pressed on undeterred and initially pursued a career in medicine.
Much to her astonishment, she discovered that medicine was not her thing and she was destined rather to treat the wellbeing of minds rather than bodies.
After one or two forays into the field of personal development she experienced another big surprise, the realisation that the business where her talents could be deployed to best possible effect was recruitment.
Together with her husband Marcelo she founded the Reo Group and placed herself in exactly the right job. The Group specialises in executive search and recruitment for the finance sector.
Her guiding philosophy and motivation has long been "Elevating Human Potential" and that has raised the Reo Group into becoming considerably more than your average recruitment operation. Only 10% of the candidates who come to them seeking employment are placed in a job but Stella ensures that 100% of them benefit from having their human potential elevated.
She has always been disquieted by the number of people who miss out on careers and lifestyles through lack of education and advice. So she makes it her responsibility to ensure that all candidates who approach the Reo Group gain an elevation in their potential as a result.
Even the candidates that Reo don't place in positions gain knowledge and advice through mentoring sessions designed to raise their employment prospects.
Stella believes very strongly that she delivers a better service to her finance sector clients by elevating the potential of candidates to become better employees rather than by merely finding them jobs.
The success of this philosophy led her to ways of embedding "Elevating Human Potential" even more deeply into the culture of her business.
As a result, the Reo Group became a member of B1G1, an international organisation dedicated to fostering corporate social responsibility initiatives among the business community. They recommended that the Reo Group support the Dot Com Mob's work in central Australia.
The Dot Com Mob provides Knowledge and Technology Centres for underprivileged kids who have no access to schools. They have been brilliantly successful at proving the theory that technology is the pathway to poverty alleviation. They educate underprivileged kids through technology to knowledge to a better life.
The Reo Group donates the equivalent of fifty days' viewing time for underprivileged kids every time they place a candidate in a job. Their contribution in 2018 is projecting to equal the Dot Com Mob's total income in 2017. That means more Knowledge and Technology Centres with many more computers.
Both the kids in Central Australia and the Reo Group are continuing to benefit significantly from the effects of "Elevating Human Potential".
Stella is far from done. She's adding IT sector recruitment to the group's suite of services and she's planning to elevate the human potential of underprivileged kids in local areas in Western Sydney.
It seems there are no limits to the elevation of her own human potential.

We're a few hours away from Blindspot mid season finale! There is very little left to find out everything they have prepared for us. As an appetizer, here are the promotional photos for episode 4×08, titled "Screech, Thwack, Pow."And, in addition, spoilers about what will happen in this episode.
Here we go!
In these few photos we can see the team in full investigation, I guess looking for Remi now that Kurt will have sounded the alarm, and everyone will know that she is their enemy. We also see Kurt looking at something or someone, will it be Remi? Of course, Tasha could not be missed and apparently we will know more about her. Will we finally find out why she is with Madeline?
Thanks to TVLine we have some clues about what will happen in the mid season finale with the characters. Martin Gero – executive producer of Blindspot – commented:
"[The mid season finale] It's a twist-filled, international affair. The whole first half of the season has been leading up to this episode. Remi will try and break Shepherd out of CIA custody. Reade will try and track down Zapata in Mexico and Rich, and Patterson…well, you'll see."
"The first half really feels like a warm-up to the back half of Season 4. The show is huge, with jaunts to Mexico, Peru and somewhere else secret. Zapata and Reade will finally come face to face! I can't really give too much away, but it's explosive. Their relationship this season is filled with so many twists and some big emotional swings. I can't wait for you to see the episodes."
Did you like the photos? Are you so keen to see the mid season finale like us? What secret location are being stored up their sleeve? Don't hesitate to share your opinion with us in the comments below!
Blindspot airs Fridays at 8 / 7c on NBC.
