Hi - I'm writing an article for the BBC News website on workplace discrimination against atheists. I have seen a few stories on this site about people who felt excluded by their co-workers or even lost their job after expressing their beliefs. I would like to talk to people who have been through such an experience. You can contact me directly - my email is email@example.com - or share your stories in this forum.
Brian Wheeler
BBC News, Washington
**Moderator's note: After our initial message of caution to all of you we've had an opportunity to confirm that Mr. Wheeler is indeed who he says he is. Knowing this, we'd like to encourage everyone to please share their stories of discrimination in the workplace with Mr. Wheeler. We shouldn't let the opportunity of a BBC News reporter telling the world the story of very real anti-atheist discrimination pass by! He is on a deadline so you must contact him as soon as you're able to.
(Anyone interested in confirming the legitimacy of this Moderator's note may contact Nelson either on TA or by email.)**

Thanks. I'm working on finding a new job. Another company wants me as their designer and I'm just working out the details. The bosses at my current job are devout christians and I would rather avoid an awkward situation.
America, I presume... You know, I'm glad I live in Europe, I don't have to hide my atheism from anyone and if they don't like it... Fuck 'Em.
Europe is A LOT older than America. I'd like to believe it's only a matter of time (probably not in my life time) before we wake up to reality...
Atheists and the non-religious are an ever-increasing component of the American population and we are headed in the direction of the rest of the industrialized world in both doG and other gods becoming less and less of an influence and presence in American life. England sent it criminals to Australia and its Puritans to America. I've been convinced for a long time that the Aussies got the far better deal, and I wish I lived there or Denmark. Unfortunately, I was born too long ago for the slowly advancing tide of the change to have much of an effect on my life. ;-(
I worked at a call center for a world-wide company and was branded the 'Jesus Hater' and 'Devil Worshiper' after simply stating that "everyone has a right to their own private beliefs" in response to being asked what church I attended. Then I was further attacked for having a science degree, as they thought science was 'stupid and pointless'. My co-workers could not understand why anyone would study it, which was also a daily topic of discussion. Needless to say, I did not stick around long once the daily discrimination against my non-beliefs started as my co-workers were making me miserable.
No, but a bunch of Christian zealots organised themselves into getting me kicked out of Facebook by repeatedly reporting innocuous posts.
When I entered the job market, I was amazed that at least 3/4ths of my interviewers would ask about my religious affiliation, when that was supposedly illegal, and oddly enough I was never hired by anyone that asked me that question. One position I took, as an instructor at a nationally supported non-profit, (a friend hired me) was terminated shortly after the Administrator was told I was an Atheist. Once this administrator had told me I was going to hell, she never got closer than 10 feet to me.
And again... legal protections against this don't exist in (I presume) the US?
There are legal protections against this in the US. If anything like this were to happen to me or my family, I would do something about it. But not everyone can. There are many times where you KNOW that your workplace mistreats you for your faith (or lack of), but you have no way to prove it. There are also parts of the US where everyone including the lawyers and judges are born again Christians, and you may not have much of a chance with them. :(
I know what you mean. At my current job, one of my bosses seems to get a kick out of harassing anyone that looks a little different. If they wear a cross or attend her church, then she treats them like actual human beings. She knew well enough not to directly ask anyone their religion, but she was definitely going out of her way to harass some of the employees and the only criteria that seemed to fit is that she assumed or knew their religious affiliation. In my daily interactions with others at work, some people would start trying to talk to me about their beliefs. When I'd say that I'm an atheist, the more vocal christians would take it as some kind of personal assault. The only way of avoiding the conversations without hostility seemed to be just to say I'm a taoist. It is as though other religious affiliations people can be ok with, but somehow in being an atheist they feel they have a say in my beliefs. I now where a Yin-Yang to avoid being included in any of their religious discussions. It is not a total lie though, as the taoist perception of existence seems to fit in pretty well with quantum theory and taoism as a whole is more about learning to ask the right questions then forcing a common creed.
Hi Dylan, I'm not familiar with taoism. Is it related in any way to Buddhism ? I have always respected Buddhas dying words : "Doubt everything. Find your own light". Hang tough. Make a joke out of religious beliefs when it comes up. Ask them what would be their religious beliefs had they been born in the Middle East to Muslim parents. Or in India to Hindu parents. This works. I have used this, & if they're honest, it will at least make them THINK !
There is a lot in common between Buddhism and Taoism, however as it was originally written Taoism does not expressly refer to any kind of reincarnation. In the oldest versions of the Tao Te Ching, the term 'heaven' is used but it is difficult to say whether it is referring to an afterlife or just the sky and the universe. Most of it speaks figuratively. It consists of many short verse poems, most of which are intended to be open to interpretation, with the intention of stimulating deep thought.

And What I Think About It...
"Perfection is not when there's nothing to add,
but when there's nothing to take away."
-- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900-1944, French aviator and writer)
What a great quote. I could (should) apply it to hundreds of things in my life.
The quote gives more guidance than the well-known saying, "Less is more," but the two are closely related. "Less is more" was the mantra that guided Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969), a German-born architect who designed minimalist skyscrapers, such as the IBM Building and the Lake Shore Drive Towers in Chicago.
His [Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's] mature buildings made use of modern materials such as industrial steel and plate glass to define austere but elegant spaces. He developed the use of exposed steel structure and glass to enclose and define space, striving for an architecture with a minimal framework of structural order balanced against the implied freedom of open space. He called his buildings "skin and bones" architecture. He sought to create a rational approach that would guide the creative process of architectural design, and is known for his use of the aphorisms "less is more" and "God is in the details".
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (whose thought about perfection I quoted above) studied architecture in Paris before becoming a pilot, so perhaps he was influenced by minimalist thought there. He wrote a number of books about flying, but I think most Americans would know him better as the author of "The Little Prince."
I admire the idea of minimalism (things stripped to their essence, unnecessary detail eliminated). There are very few areas where I've achieved such perfection. It remains a goal, and I try to keep reminding myself.
A few years ago, one of the children at church wanted me to buy a magazine for their school fund-raiser. I looked through the list, and the title "Real Simple" caught my eye so I subscribed. To my surprise, it is mostly a shopping magazine. The magazine's theme is, "Life made easier," and they think you need to buy a lot of stuff to achieve that goal.
"Less is more," and "Life made easier," don't perfectly contradict each other, but they don't perfectly parallel each other either.
I think this relates -- we don't own a weedeater or a rototiller. There are times when those tools would make life easier, but if we owned them, we'd start imposing higher standards of perfection on the lawn and garden. Without them, we get a little more exercise occasionally, but most of the time, we save ourselves a lot of work and expense. Even better, we spare ourselves from the guilty feeling of owning expensive yard tools that we think we should use more.
Our yard doesn't have to be groomed to perfection -- we live out in the country. Enough is enough.

Learning, Training & Development
Factors Affecting Working & Learning
Nonprofits and their employees operate in an environment that has seen many changes in recent years:
- Competition for skilled employees
- Attracting and retaining employees becomes a challenge
- Need for additional skills
- Funding for employee training and development is a concern
- Less job security
- Limited opportunities for advancement
All these changes point to how vital it is to invest in the learning, training and development of your current employees.
Competition for skilled employees
There is greater competition for skilled employees and this competition will increase as the baby boomer generation starts to retire.
In the CPRN research paper, Job Quality in Non-profit Organizations, it points out that the nonprofit sector employs a well-educated workforce with "strong project management and organizational skills." These same skills are sought after by other sectors of the labour market.
Attracting and retaining employees becomes a challenge
As competition for employees increases, attracting and retaining employees will become a challenge. To ensure that your organization remains a desirable place to work, as Job Quality in Non-profit Organizations points out, an important part of job quality is the opportunities that employers provide for learning:
"The opportunity to develop and use one's skills and abilities is another important dimension of 'job quality', with relevant indicators including access to formal training , opportunities for on-the-job learning, and prospects for promotion and career advancement."
Need for additional skills
In another CPRN report, Skills and Training in the Non-profit Sector, the authors report that based on the information that they have, "... one would expect a considerable share of employees to say that skill requirements have been on the rise. This is indeed the case." This is particularly true for professionals working in the nonprofit sector.
Funding for employee training and development is a concern
Adequate funding continues to be a concern. While the need to use resources to provide employee training and development increases, the resources to do so may not be available. In fact, funding for training and development may be one of the first items to be eliminated in times of financial uncertainty.
Less job security
Employees in the sector (and employees in general) have less job security than they used to. People constantly hear that they can expect to have many different employers and even different careers during their work life. Given this message and its reality, employees are looking for employers who will provide them with opportunities to develop transferable skills.
Limited opportunities for advancement
Most organizations in the sector have a flat organizational structure. This means that there is little room for promotion. Employees and organizations need to embrace the idea that moving 'up' is not the only way to be satisfied with one's work. An alternative is to create challenges for employees in their current position or a similar position.

A: I find it hard to believe that Phil would coach again, especially with the roster the Knicks will likely have next season. And I can guarantee that Pat's not coaching again (the Heat have a pretty good coach already in place). But, to be honest, behind the how-many-points-can-Carmelo-score angle, Heat-Knicks has grown somewhat stale. And I'm sure Phil would instantly add snark to the mix, if nothing else. I think it would be good for the Knicks, good for the league and good for this rivalry. But it does seems like an odd choice based on his personal life.
Q: Is it fair that the winner of Heat and Pacers gets a worn-out version of the Western Conference survivor, while Miami and Indiana get to coast through the early rounds of the playoffs? -- N.T.
A: First, based on the recent play of the Bulls, Raptors, Wizards and even Nets, I think there will be legitimate challenges in the second round of the East playoffs. While it certainly will be nothing like the carnage out West, it also won't be the cakewalk some had forecast in the East. But, yes, it is possible the West winner will be done in by attrition.
Q: I am a young-legs advocate, so would I enjoy seeing Michael Beasley, Greg Oden and DeAndre Liggins giving the Heat youthful energy, even if it means a learning curve for them. The veterans should encourage the young guns, because they will prolong the older players' playing careers. -- L.K.
A: I think the Heat are past that point. If Beasley and Oden can help them win games, they will play. As for Liggins, the best he can hope for is to be guaranteed for the balance of the season after this latest and final 10-day contract. And it is possible if he is signed for the season that he would be sent to the D-League to help the Heat's affiliate there in the D-League playoffs.

Clearwater, FL (PRWEB) October 01, 2013
Tile & Paver Ideas, LLC today announced the addition of a new Claruseal http://www.claruseal.com product line, Bianco Venato Marble. "Clarus" is the Latin word for clear and bright, and Claruseal perfectly describes a new, environmentally friendly product that is superior to topical treatments sold in the market today. Claruseal is a patent pending engineered polymer that protects travertine, limestone and marble from damage due to stains and spills. Unlike solvent and water-based sealers applied after installation, Claruseal is professionally applied on Bianco Venato Marble before purchase by a consumer or builder for commercial or residential use.
Tim Johnson, Account Executive of Tile & Paver Ideas, LLC remarked "Claruseal Bianco Venato makes a nice addition to our Claruseal line of high quality travertine, limestone and marble products." Claruseal Bianco Venato Marble is available polished, beveled and honed, and is recommended for residential and commercial uses. These could include interior and exterior floor and wall applications, backsplashes, fireplaces, tub surrounds, showers and vanities. Claruseal Bianco Venato Marble is available in the following sizes; 3"x6", 12"x12", 18"x18" and 12" x 24". Bianco Venato Marble is imported from Turkey.
Unlike surface sealers, Claruseal is a specially designed polymer that is applied before installation on travertine, limestone and marble such as Bianco Venato. Claruseal can be used both outdoors and indoors, and can save more than 50% in ongoing maintenance costs. Other advantages that Claruseal have when compared to aftermarket topical sealants include the fact that most surface sealers need to be applied and reapplied every 2 to 3 years, adding cost and maintenance headaches. Claruseal travertine, marble and limestone shouldn't ever have to sealed again. In addition, Claruseal is also stain and chemical resistant, and has excellent UV resistance. Antimicrobials embedded in Claruseal can reduce the growth of bacteria, fungus and mold. Claruseal is also 100% Ecofriendly, as no VOC's or HAP's are ever produced when it applied prior to installation, and Claruseal also is LEED compliant. Claruseal is 100% made in the USA.

Ritter's transpacific upgrades
Gov. Bill Ritter's decision to skip coach and fly business-class during the long stretches of his recent trade mission to Japan and China doesn't strike us as out-of-line.
In Sunday's Post, reporter John Ingold rightly engages in journalism and looked at how taxpayer dollars were spent on the economic-development trip. Ingold documented that the governor and two high-ranking officials spent an extra $12,000 to upgrade during the transpacific portions of the trip.
This while the state is trying to cut $600 million from the budget due to the recession.
We took up the matter briefly today while discussing coming editorials, and decided not to comment with a full-blown editorial, because we saw little harm in a state's governor taking such an upgrade under these circumstances.
Ritter did a lot of work on the mission, and after his visit it was announced that Denver was a finalist for a direct flight from Tokyo, which could mean $150 million impact.
Besides the poor guy flies coach on other flights, so how hot under the collar can you really get about this trip?
Anyway, we're glad Ingold reported the findings in a fair and balanced way, and we're glad the governor's acting reasonably with his expenses.
(Meanwhile, if his spokesman, the redoubtable Evan Dreyer, had flown business-class, we'd have been MIFFED.)
But we'd love to hear what readers think on this one, so please give it some thought. (Even you, Evan.)

Bilbo Baggins, you're in some pretty elite company.
"The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" crossed the $1-billion threshold this weekend, boosted by the film's recent opening in China where it raked in $37.3 million in 10 days.
The box-office haul means that the first installment in Peter Jackson's planned trilogy based on J.R.R. Tolkien's novel stands as one of the most successful movies of all time.
PHOTOS: 60 images from 'The Hobbit'
"The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" opened in the U.S. in December and went on to gross more than $300 million at the domestic box office. The film chronicles the initial leg of Bilbo Baggins' (Martin Freeman) trek over the Misty Mountains to help Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage) and his band of dwarf followers reclaim their lost treasure and their homeland.
Despite its outsized performance around the world, it still falls short of the most well-heeled members of the $1-billion club: Director James Cameron's "Avatar," which has made more than $2.78 billion worldwide since its 2009 release, and his "Titanic," which has made more than $2.16 billion worldwide since its 1997 release.
Like Cameron, Jackson now has several entries on the list of the highest-grossing movies of all time. "The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King" has made $1.1 billion worldwide.
Our sister blog, Company Town, notes that the film's performance offered a bit of solace over at Warner Bros.: The milestone came as the studio was coming to grips with the big-budget flop of "Jack the Giant Slayer."
Late last week, Warners announced a new release date for the final movie in Jackson's trilogy. "The Hobbit: There and Back Again" will open Dec. 17, 2014.
The film originally had been set to open July 18, 2014.

I am, admittedly, a sucker for beer. Not just any beer, but good beer.
So when an artist I wanted to interview suggested we meet at the Run of the Mill Public House and Brewery in Saco, it didn't take me long to say yes.
We gathered on a spring-like Friday afternoon for a late lunch. Had it been just a few degrees warmer, we might have braved the chilly air and sat outside. But, alas, she had her 4-year-old with her, so we settled on a table inside for a beer, lunch and long conversation about painting, living and working in Maine.
The Run of the Mill is not exactly an undiscovered place. In fact, we had to wait a good 15 minutes for a table. But I sometimes think people from Portland never give this place a second thought, despite its excellent reputation for food, beer and superlatively attentive service.
We had a rather large lunch, and my guest opted for a seven-beer sampler, which included small sample-size glasses of everything on tap that day with the exception of a guest tap. Otherwise, all the beers were the product of the Run of the Mill.
I'm not here to critique the beer, though I consider beer an area of expertise. But we have a beer columnist on staff, and I hate to step on his toes. And as this was a working lunch, I was not in a position to do more than taste one or two of her samples. OK, three.
As for the food, I rate the kitchen at the Run of the Mill a solid "B" – and had I quaffed a pint or two, I might more generously give an "A" grade. I liked our lunch very much, but didn't love everything.
We started with an appetizer of traditional buffalo-style chicken tenders ($7.75) with a bleu cheese dipping sauce. These were the highlights of the meal. The tenders were moist and juicy, and the sauce had a hint of sweetness to it but not a lot of heat. These weren't burn-your-mouth hot, which I appreciated. We both loved them, and had no trouble sharing the full platter.
For my main plate, I ordered the Indian Island Chicken Sandwich ($8.50), a grilled chicken breast topped with smoked bacon and cheddar on a kaiser roll. Nothing about it turned me off, but nothing about made me think, "Wow. This is great." It was solidly good, and just what I expected. The best part may have been the crisp bacon.
My artist friend opted for the blackened bleu chicken wrap (also $8.50) consisting of diced Cajun spiced chicken breast, bleu cheese crumbles, tomatoes and greens, tossed in bleu cheese dressing and wrapped in a sun-dried tomato tortilla.
She liked it very much, but didn't rave about it. It was good. Nothing to complain about. She ate half, and took the other half home.
For our sides, she had a beer cheese soup that we both felt should have been creamier. It tasted nice, but had an odd, off-putting consistency. I had the garlic mashed potatoes, which were very good but not very garlicky.
But here's the thing: We were there well over an hour, and we had a great time. We loved the atmosphere, and the service was outstanding.
The overall experience left nothing to be desired, except this: The food lacked adventure. Then again, we didn't take any chances with the menu, either. We had chicken, and lots of it.
Maybe another beer or two would have done us some good.

In this part, Jerry focuses on the final highlighting to finish the painting. He starts by adding various colors to the flower arrangements, including yellow, pink and orange. Next, highlights are added to the top of the steps and to the walls to suggest reflective light and also to add interest. A thin mixture of white gesso can be sprayed on the steps to provide another level of texture. Cracks can be added to the wall and other surfaces to give them an aging and worn appearance. Using soft gray and a chisel-edge brush, Jerry adds a board leaning against the building. Highlights on the flowers are repeated with thicker paint to make them pop. Do not overwork the details.
There are no upcoming air times for this episode.

Developers have until 3 p.m. on April 11 to submit development proposals to the city of Detroit for the 526,000-square-foot former Herman Kiefer Health Complex on Taylor Street west of the Lodge Freeway.
Developers can pick up a request-for-proposal packet from the Detroit Planning and Development Department Real Estate Development Division on the 20th floor of 65 Cadillac Square. Proposals can be mailed to the Real Estate Development Division or emailed to [email protected].
The city announced in October that the Department of Health and Wellness Promotion, including the Vital Records Division, would move its offices from the complex. The Vital Records Division is now on the second floor of the passenger terminal at the Coleman A. Young International Airport; the health department is now located at 1600 W. Lafayette Blvd.
The complex, which sits on 18 acres of city-owned land, is currently vacant, said John Roach, Mayor Mike Duggan's communications director. It was constructed between 1909 and 1928, he said.
The buildings were designed by George Mason and Albert Kahn, according to a 2004 report to the Detroit City Council.
There will be a site walk-through on March 25 from 9:30 a.m. to noon starting at the complex's main entrance, 1151 Taylor St., and a pre-bid meeting will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. that day at the Detroit Economic Growth Corp. office in the Guardian Building at 500 Griswold St., according to a press release.

"You're not paying attention." "Don't you know where you put your lunch money?" "Stop fidgeting!" "Don't interrupt."
Can you imagine what it would be like to hear people talk to you this way every single day? If you can imagine it, or if it sounds just like what you're used to hearing, then you know what it's like to have ADHD. Those letters stand for a condition called attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Kids who have ADHD are not bad, lazy, or stupid. They have a disorder that means they may have problems paying attention or sitting still in their seats. They can also act on impulse - this means doing things without thinking about them first. Kids with ADHD may spend a lot of time in the principal's office. Sometimes they do things that cause them to get hurt. They might change their friends a lot.
On average, 8-10% of kids have ADHD. That means out of 100 kids, 8 to 10 of them may have ADHD. So if your school has 300 kids, 24 to 30 of them may have ADHD. Kids who have ADHD usually start having problems in preschool. Boys have ADHD more often than girls. In fact, three times as many boys have ADHD, but no one knows why.
A kid might have a greater chance of developing ADHD if one of his or her relatives already has ADHD or another type of behavior problem. But no one is sure why anyone has ADHD, although scientists and doctors think that it probably has to do with differences in the way people's brains work. No one gets ADHD on purpose, so it isn't ever anyone's fault. And ADHD isn't contagious - you can't catch it from someone like the flu.
ADHD can cause kids to act in different ways, depending on who has it. Most kids with ADHD have problems concentrating and paying attention. Some kids with ADHD might also have trouble sitting still in class and waiting for their turn. They might yell out the answers before other kids have a chance to raise their hands.
Sometimes they can be disorganized, distracted, or forgetful. They might lose things and have trouble finishing assignments. They may wiggle around in their seats, move around a lot, talk too much, or interrupt other people's conversations.
It's important to remember that everybody does these things once in a while. It doesn't mean you have ADHD. Checking It Out When parents and teachers suspect that a child has ADHD, the first step is to visit the doctor. He or she may then refer the kid to a specialist like a psychologist, psychiatrist, or neurologist who knows about kids who have ADHD and other kinds of behavior problems. Part of the doctor's job is to check for other illnesses that look like ADHD but need different kinds of treatment.
Once the doctor determines that a kid has ADHD, then the doctor, parents, and teachers begin to work together to find out the best way to help. Often this means starting one of the medicines used to treat ADHD, deciding how much medicine is needed, and when to give it. Children with ADHD usually only have to take their medicine once before school, but some may have to go to the nurse in the middle of the school day for medicine.
But children who have ADHD need more than just medicine. They also need help learning how to change the way they act. Some kids with ADHD can learn to do this by using relaxation therapy or behavioral therapy. In relaxation therapy, counselors teach kids how to relax and stay calm by doing deep-breathing exercises and relaxing different muscle groups.
Behavioral therapy helps kids with ADHD by teaching them to set goals for themselves and by using rewards to help them reach those goals. Teachers can give a kid with ADHD a reward for sitting still in class, for example. And parents can do the same thing at home, by rewarding their children for paying attention, completing their chores, or keeping track of their things. Kids with ADHD may need extra help learning how to do things other kids find easy.
Kids who have ADHD can become depressed or anxious. So for many kids with ADHD, the key to success is not only following the treatment plan from the doctor, but working to build good friendships with other kids, too. Many kids with ADHD find that their symptoms get better as they get older. Adults with ADHD can have happy lives, and they can be very successful in whatever they decide to do.

Redesign our Code of Ethics page -
Site skin (top/left nav etc) must not be touched -- you have only the center content-well to work with.
Wording of the "Code" must not be changed -- however, you may reformat and re-layout the content.
The "Code" is a serious matter and its presentation should reflect that... We are looking for Creativity: The redesigned page must be easily scanable and memorable, but without being cheesy in terms of excessive use of graphics or other bells & whistles.
An internal (non-professional) attempt at redesigning the page is attached. We are expecting much better treatments than this. Thanks!

Under certain circumstances, the UW Bothell School of Nursing and Health Studies may grant permission for a student to go on official leave of absence (LOA). Normally, such a leave will be granted only for personal or family emergency situations and will be granted for a specific length of time. If LOA is granted, it will then be the student's responsibility to contact the MN Advisor one quarter in advance of their return to active status in the program. If prior petition for LOA is not made (or petition is denied) and a student fails to register for the next quarter, or if a student on LOA status fails to return in the quarter specified, the student will be dropped from the graduate program and will be required to apply for reinstatement during some future application period. LOA may be requested after completion of one quarter of graduate schooling.

Fire With Fire led all the way in winning the $200,000 San Luis Rey Stakes by a half-length over Lucayan on Saturday at Santa Anita Park.
Ridden by Tyler Baze, Fire With Fire ran 1½ miles on the turf in 2:25.03 and paid $22.80, $8.80 and $7.40 at 10-1 odds.
"He was really game," Baze said. "I didn't try to slow him down, didn't try to make him speed up, just let him have a good time. He just proved that's what was going to work with him."
With a half-mile to go, Victor Espinoza eased 4-5 favorite Vagabond Shoes out of the race that included five older horses. Espinoza said Niagara Falls bumped Vagabond Shoes coming out of the gate.
"I could feel his whole body go sideways and he had a different energy after that," Espinoza said. "I didn't want to push him; I wanted to take my time. Right when I went to make a move, that's when I heard something. I pulled him up as soon as I could and I hope he's OK."
Lucayan returned $4.20 and $4, while Temeraine was another nose back in third and paid $4.80 to show. Neil Drysdale trained the 1-2 finishers in the race and won it for the sixth time.
The victory, worth $120,000, increased Fire With Fire's career earnings to $515,354, with six wins in 30 starts.
We Miss Artie wins
We Miss Artie rallied late and won the Grade 3, $550,000 Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati Spiral Stakes by a nose at Turfway Park in Florence, Ky.
We Miss Artie, trained by Todd Pletcher, ridden by John Velazquez and owned by Ken and Sarah Ramsey, made a move in the late stretch to catch leaders Harry's Holiday, a 15-1 long shot, and Coastline in the prep race in the road to the Kentucky Derby
We Miss Artie finished the 1 1/8 miles in 1:52. 26 and paid $9.20, $5.80 and $4.20. Harry's Holiday held on for second, and Coastline finished third. The favorite Tamarando finished eighth.
After a disappointing performance on dirt in the Grade 2 Fountain of Youth, We Miss Artie returned to synthetic, a surface he had won on in the Grade 1 Dixiana Breeders' Futurity at Keeneland in October.
We Miss Artie earned 50 points and has a total of 60 in the system Churchill Downs uses to determine who qualifies for the May 3 race.

The Eastern Oregon Agricultural Research Center's mission is to provide the science for sound land and livestock management. Our research programs are unique in the integration of research with management of beef cattle, rangelands, wildlife habitat, watersheds, and forests. EOARC conducts research and provides information for public and private land managers, hay producers, environmental groups and the general public. Our current program includes research on restoration of sagebrush range and juniper-dominated sites, management of invasive weeds, ecology, flood meadows, and beef cattle. Research is also being conducted evaluating the interaction of livestock, wildlife, and the environment.
Our overall program goals are to provide the data that can be used by managers to improve the health of meadow and rangeland, improve the profitability of beef cattle operations, and reduce the level of conflict over land management. We recently held a Beef Industry Tour that discussed new concepts and sustainable approaches on reproductive management and genetics of beef cattle.
Unfortunately, shrinking federal and state budgets have decreased financial support of agricultural research and extension at EOARC, which limits our ability to address the needs of our community and stakeholders.

I'm in Georgetown Colorado and it looks like I'm getting low on oil. I have the BMW 15w 50 synthetic in now.
Is there any readily available substitute to add half a quart, or a quart?
I have half a quart sitting at home, which I didn't think I'd need to bring.
I suppose I could add some motorcycle 10 40 from the auto parts store.
Any ideas?

Copper supply shortages will extend into the first half of next year as an accelerating Chinese economy more than doubles the pace of growth in global consumption even as mines extract a record amount of metal.
Demand will outpace supply by 316,000 metric tons in the first six months, more than all copper in London Metal Exchange warehouses, before a surplus emerges in the second half, Barclays Plc estimates. Production has lagged behind consumption since 2010, according to the International Copper Study Group. The metal may average $8,300 a ton in the second quarter, 4.8 percent more than now and the most in a year, according to the median of 21 analyst and trader estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
China, which uses 41 percent of the world's copper, is rebounding from seven quarters of slowing growth after the government approved a $161 billion subways-to-roads construction plan in September. It's being joined by central banks from the U.S. to Europe to Japan, who also pledged more stimulus. Housing starts in the U.S., the second-largest consumer, reached a four- year high last month and business confidence unexpectedly strengthened in Germany, Europe's biggest economy.
"U.S. growth will be moderate and Europe is stabilizing, so that drag might reverse partially, and then it all falls back to China," said Dominic Schnider, Singapore-based global head of non-traditional assets at UBS AG's wealth-management unit. "Economic activity doesn't have to be that strong in China for inventories to get drawn down and you could see a rally in the first half, but then you come into the second half where mine supply comes in on the strong side."
Quarter Century
Copper rose 4.3 percent to $7,929 a ton this year on the LME, the world's largest metals bourse, as the LMEX gauge of six industrial metals gained 1.6 percent. The Standard & Poor's GSCI gauge of 24 commodities added 0.8 percent and the MSCI All- Country World Index of equities jumped 11 percent. Treasuries returned 2.7 percent, a Bank of America Corp. index shows.
The metal averaged $7,949.55 since the start of January, headed for the second-highest level in a quarter century after last year's record $8,825.98. Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc., the biggest publicly traded producer, may report a 44 percent gain in net income next year, according to the mean of 11 analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Shares of the Phoenix-based company will advance 28 percent in the next 12 months, the average of 21 predictions shows.

View Silence Dogood
Type: False Identity.
Summary: Sixteen-year-old Benjamin Franklin pretended to be a middle-aged widow named Silence Dogood.
Discussion Page
for this topic.
In 1722 a series of letters appeared in the New-England Courant written by a middle-aged widow named Silence Dogood. The letters poked fun at various aspects of life in colonial America, such as the drunkenness of locals, religious hypocrisy, and the persecution of women. Silence Dogood even had views about the fashion for hoop petticoats:
These monstrous topsy-turvy Mortar-Pieces, are neither fit for the Church, the Hall, or the Kitchen; and if a Number of them were well mounted on Noddles-Island, they would look more like Engines of War for bombarding the Town, than Ornaments of the Fair Sex. An honest Neighbour of mine, happening to be in Town some time since on a publick Day, inform'd me, that he saw four Gentlewomen with their Hoops half mounted in a Balcony, as they withdrew to the Wall, to the great Terror of the Militia, who (he thinks) might attribute their irregular Volleys to the formidable Appearance of the Ladies Petticoats.
Silence was particularly fond of ridiculing Harvard. She complained that it had been ruined by corruption and elitism, and that most of its students learned nothing there except how to be conceited:
I reflected in my Mind on the extream Folly of those Parents, who, blind to their Childrens Dulness, and insensible of the Solidity of their Skulls, because they think their Purses can afford it, will needs send them to the Temple of Learning, where, for want of a suitable Genius, they learn little more than how to carry themselves handsomely, and enter a Room genteely, (which might as well be acquir'd at a Dancing-School,) and from whence they return, after Abundance of Trouble and Charge, as great Blockheads as ever, only more proud and self-conceited.
Silence also wrote that she had once been married to a minister with whom she had lived for seven years before he had died, leaving her with three children. She coyly admitted that she didn't enjoy the life of a widow and could be easily persuaded to marry again.
The readers of the Courant thought she was a charming woman. So charming, in fact, that a few of the male readers wrote in, upon learning that she was single, and offered to marry her.
Silence Dogood's True Identity
Unfortunately for her would-be suitors, Silence Dogood did not exist. She was the invention of sixteen year-old Benjamin Franklin, who was working at the time as an apprentice to his older brother, James, a Boston printer.
Franklin concealed his authorship of the letters from his brother. He later wrote that he slipped the first Silence Dogood letter beneath the door of his brother's printing shop at night to avoid detection. However, he later was pleased to listen in as his brother and his friends approvingly discussed the letter and decided to place it on the front page of the paper.
Franklin modeled the style of the letters after Joseph Addison's and Richard Steele's Spectator. His pseudonym was an allusion to the Boston minister Cotton Mather, who had written a book titled Essays to do Good. Many readers immediately recognized this allusion. The first name, Silence, might have alluded to another book by Mather titled Silentiarius: A Brief Essay on the Holy Silence and Godly Patience, that Sad Things are to be Entertained withal. Or it could have been a sly suggestion that Mather should be silent, since the letters were quite critical of the Puritan establishment that Mather represented.
Franklin wrote a total of fourteen Silence Dogood letters between April 2 to October 8, 1722. When he stopped writing the letters, his brother placed an ad in the paper in an attempt to find out who the mysterious letter writer really was:
If any person or persons will give a true account of Mrs. Silence Dogood, whether dead or alive, married or unmarried, in town or countrey, that so, (if living) she may be spoke with, or letters convey'd to her, they shall have thanks for their pains.
When Franklin confessed to his brother that he was the author, his brother grew quite displeased, fearing that all the compliments paid to Silence Dogood would make young Benjamin grow vain. Soon after this, Franklin decided to run away and seek his fortune in Philadelphia.
Silence Dogood was the first of many alter-egos that Franklin created throughout his life.
National Treasure
In 2004 Walt Disney Pictures released a movie, National Treasure, in which the Silence Dogood letters served as a central plot device. The movie suggested that Benjamin Franklin used the Silence Dogood letters as the basis for a secret code. This code, when solved, would supposedly lead one to the site of a fabled hidden treasure trove.
National Treasure is pure fiction. In reality, the Silence Dogood letters contain no secret clues relating to a hidden treasure.

Ah the glamour of it all! Christmas Parties galore, then on to the New Year's Eve all night, champagne clinking celebrations. One year on Christmas Eve, our family tried to do The Feast of the Seven Fishes, popular in most Italian homes, but let me tell you, we only made it to five fishes. We were stuffed! After that experience, we have stayed true to one or two of our favorite seafood dishes, this Shrimp Louis being Himself's first choice. The very first year, I dumped the entire tray of it too, and had to start all over again. Nothing like Christmas bloopers.
Shrimp Louis
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tsp. horseradish
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. Tabasco sauce
1 tsp. dried minced onion, not powder
1/4 cup chopped red pepper
1 clove garlic
1/4 tsp Kosher salt
1/8 tsp. cracked black pepper, and more for sprinkling
1 T. lemon juice
2 tsp. lemon zest
2 pounds 26-30 count shelled shrimp, cooked, tails removed
1 heart of romaine, shredded
8 lemon wedges for garnish
8 parsley leaves for garnish
In a blender on medium speed, blend the first 13 ingredients- mayonnaise through lemon zest. Rough chop shrimp and toss with Louis Sauce. Divide romaine between 8 martini glasses. Divide out the shrimp mixture between the 8 glasses and place over the romaine lettuce. Garnish with a lemon wedge, parsley leaf, and a dash more of black pepper. Serve immediately. Serves 8.

For this installment of Apprageous! my assignment was to find a helpful app for the Christmas shopping rush after Thanksgiving, especially the Black Friday weekend right after turkey day.
I'm personally not a big Black Friday shopper, but plenty of folks are and I might have found just the help for the rush of Christmas shopping that's upon us.
With apologies to Al Pacino, say hello to your little shopping friend, Fat Wallet's Black Friday Deal Finder app.
Calling its app "Black Friday on steroids," Fat Wallet delivers in spades with an app for Android and Apple smart phones and tablets.
The app was updated just two weeks ago, so its info should be current.
Know the shops you want to hit this weekend? Great, the deal finder lets you search by store.
Or, maybe you're looking for tools or toys on sale this season. No problem, the Black Friday app has a touch menu that lets your fingers toggle down an extensive list of shopping categories.
What I found impressive on the tablet version of the deal finder is that it actually has scans of pretty much every print ad the stores are publishing in your local papers for Black Friday and beyond.
Joni and I love leafing through the ads in the paper this time of year, swapping pullouts as we get gift ideas for each other and our families…or just dreaming.
Fat Wallet offers a similar feel, only you can carry all of the colorful holiday pitches right in your phone or tablet.
Fat Wallet, which offers a checkout service that allows members an on-line buying alternative, also has all the deals you can handle for Cyber Monday.
Of course, check the deals and ads carefully on the app, some are good for just certain days, like Black Friday, while others are good for a longer period of time.
Android and Apple users both give the app a rating of four stars out of five, though I noticed some comments reported the app not pulling up the ads or bugging out.
It's a problem I didn't encounter, but if you do there's always the trusty newspaper to tuck under your arm and carry along to the stores.
Happy shopping, happy holidays and, above all, Merry Christmas!

Two dogs to join Nashua police force
By KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
NASHUA - Arex and Tango will be the newest members of the Nashua police force, as an aldermanic committee on Wednesday unanimously approved the purchase of the two police dogs.
With very little discussion, the Finance Committee authorized spending $13,000 in drug forfeiture funds to purchase a German shepherd and a Belgian Malinois.
"I think they are a wonderful part of your routine," Alderman-at-Large Barbara Pressly said of the dogs. The two new dogs will join two other dogs in the department's canine unit, including Ginger, a bloodhound tracking dog, and Mautz, a German shepherd patrol and narcotics dog. The dogs are handled by officers Jeff Connors and Robert Dunn.
The dogs are a tremendous asset to the department, as they serve as another tool to help law enforcement with criminal investigations, said police officials. They are used to track criminals from crime scenes, search for lost individuals, apprehend fleeing suspects and more.
"I really do believe that people respond differently to animals," Pressly said.
According to Capt. Bruce Hansen, the two new dogs will be replacing retired police dogs that left the department in 2009 and 2011.
Sgt. John Harvey of the Nashua Police Department led the search to find the two new working dogs. Harvey has visited with the two dogs, testing and evaluating them with their future handlers from the police department.
According to police officials, the new dogs and their handlers will be trained by Troy Casey of the Boston Police Department, who has been training the city's canine unit for many years. The dogs will be enrolled in a Police Canine Academy, according to the proposed purchase agreements with TBLACKK9 of Middleboro, Mass.
Arex, a male German shepherd, and Tango, a male Belgian Malinois, are both being sold for $6,500 each.
If the dogs cannot be certified as police canines, the seller will replace them with other dogs, or issue a full refund.
Most of the expenses for the city's police canine unit, which was started in 1996, are paid with drug forfeiture money, although additional costs are defrayed by local businesses though donations of supplies.

Covering Francis -- Newsflash: The Pope is Catholic!
Media bias is not, as many conservatives believe, a conspiracy to push a leftist agenda upon America. No, it is the subtle bias of the cultural filter. It is the inherent and (ironically) unquestioned assumption that all normal, rational and good people hold exactly the same values, beliefs and tastes as the reporter, whose upbringing and education were steeped in a swiriling brew of contemporary liberalism's most fashionable bromides.
Assign the reporter to cover a person who has a similar cultural background but who does not share the assumptions that define the norm as the reporter sees it, and you get coverage that is slanted. The reporter cannot understand why this other person does not share the view that is accepted as the only legitimate view in the reporter's own social and professional circles. The stories then become focused on those differences, however irrelevant they might be, and not on telling the bigger, more important story.
We saw this bias play out in rather ridiculous fashion last week after the College of Cardinals elected Jorge Borgoglio of Argentina as Pope Francis.
NBC News ran with this "story" on Thursday: "'Status quo' leader: Same-sex marriage, abortion unlikely under Pope Francis."
The story began: "Known as a compassionate Argentine archbishop who eschewed the trappings of his role to live amid his flock and who focused on the poor, Pope Francis will likely keep to Catholic teachings that reject abortion and same-sex marriage, experts said Wednesday."
Fascinating. NBC News, one of America's largest and best-known news organizations, considered it news that the new Pope adhered to Roman Catholic doctrine. Worse, it had to have "experts" tell it that.
"The pope will be Catholic," Professor Christopher J. Ruddy of the Catholic University of America, told NBC. "He speaks and he teaches what the Catholic church teaches on these issues." This is news?
Stories of the Pope's adherence to standard Roman Catholic teachings were legion last week. Time magazine reported that Pope Francis "is conservative on social issues and is a vocal opponent of gay marriage and abortion."
The real story, which some reporters succeeded in telling, was that here was a Pope who refused to adhere to the tradition of elevating himself above the cardinals. Here was a Pope who asked the people to pray for him before he prayed for them, who has lived his life in service to the poor and afflicted.
While reporters were busy calling this first Jesuit Pope "conservative," they barely noticed he began his term by dispensing with traditions and focusing everyone's attention on the church's mission. Even his chosen name, Francis, is a message that the church is now led by a man with reform and service on his mind. That is the story. How many reporters will be clear-sighted enough to see it as it unfolds?

What makes Gov. John Hickenlooper's holiday card this year — with a photo shot outside a museum — is the caption inside.
"Wishing you Happy Holidays," the card says. "From John, Helen, and our original abstract expressionist, Teddy."

Mary Mapes, that is. Scott posted on her new book last night. We'll be deconstructing Ms. Mapes's revisionist history, bit by bit, over the weeks to come. For now, let's just pick out a point or two from her book's first chapter to ridicule.
Ms. Mapes writes:
Within a few minutes, I was online visiting Web sites I had never heard of before: Free Republic, Little Green Footballs, Power Line. They were hard-core, politically angry, hyperconservative sites loaded with vitriol about Dan Rather and CBS.
Really? I did a simple site search, which you can easily reproduce, and found that during the 2 1/2 years of commentary that we wrote prior to September 9, 2004, we mentioned Dan Rather a total of six times–on average, once every four to five months. Hardly "loaded with vitriol about Dan Rather and CBS." Moreover, amazingly enough, in our famous post "The Sixty-first Minute," which we updated fifteen or so times on September 9, 2004, the day after the 60 Minutes story aired, and which led pretty directly to the downfall of Dan Rather and poor Ms. Mapes, we mentioned Mr. Rather exactly zero times. That's right, zero. How's that for obsession?
Ms.Mapes isn't done. Her writing reveals that she has no idea what she is talking about; repeatedly, she says that critics of her television program talked about "peripheral spacing" in the alleged National Guard documents. This is astonishing; it's hard to say what is more amazing: that after a year, Mapes still doesn't know that "proportional spacing" is what we and many other bloggers discussed, or that she and her editors 1) know nothing about typography, and 2) on top of that, are too lazy to read our posts.
Ms. Mapes is evidently lost in the far-left fever swamps; she repeats a conspiratorial chestnut that dates to the immediate aftermath of the 60 Minutes fiasco:
I was told that the first posting claiming the documents were fakes had gone up on Free Republic before our broadcast was even off the air! How had the Web site even gotten copies of the documents? We hadn

I installed gd-1.8.3, jpeg-6b and zlib-1.1.3
I configured php-4.0.1pl2 with following:
./configure --with-apache=../apache_1.3.12 --with-gd=../gd-1.8.3 --with-jpeg-dir=../jpeg-6b --with-zlib=/usr/local
--with-xml --with-ftp
Then I compiled apache-1.3.12 to use php as a shared modude.
The ./configure with all the correct options works fine.
make returns in an error:
size of symbol gdImageColorResolve changed from 274 to 266 in gd.o.(gd.c)
Aparently the variable gdImageColorResolve is defined two times but with different sizes.
Does anyone have ideas on how to get rid of this error?
It perhaps has to do with the gd.c file in php-4.0.1pl2/ext/gd directory and the gd.c file in gd-1.8.3 directory.

Acerca del creador
I am one of three Felts women who crafted this book of poems. The poems' author was my husband's mother who loved nature and wrote often about the bugs, animals, and natural world that her children so loved. I first began reading Irma's poems to my kindergarten class I was teaching in the early 70's, and after I became interested in Photography, I started teaming my images with her poems. It's been a goal for years to eventually coral the poems and images into a book. My daughter, a writer and editor, has helped bring all this together.

A sabbatical leave isn't a vacation. It can be a helpful holiday, however.
A sabbatical leave isn't a vacation. It can be a helpful holiday, however.
Frank Wiens' 2012 paid leave "sprang from an interest" in composer Edvard Grieg.
"In some ways, though, it was a desire to go to Norway," the University of the Pacific piano professor said with a small laugh.
In any case, he's happy teaching his students again.
Of course, Wiens did more than the tourist thing - "there's such beautiful scenery" - during a 10-day visit to Norway in August and September 2012.
He mainly researched the musical and historical legacies of Grieg (1843-1907), "a hero to Norwegians and the mother country. It's more like: 'Who Dave Brubeck is to Stockton, Grieg is to that whole country.' "
Wiens, 64, who's taught piano at Pacific and played nationally for 37 years, demonstrates what he's learned about Grieg during a performance tonight at Faye Spanos Concert Hall.
"I'd been playing Grieg (for) several years," said Wiens, who'll perform 14 of Grieg's individual works and 22 segments during a 70-minute program. "Quite a bit. He was inspired (to create) works that are indelibly associated with being Norwegian."
The centerpiece is Grieg's Piano Sonata in E Minor (1865). Wiens considers it a colossus of the canon: "(Russian composer Sergei) Rachmaninoff said it's the best concerto ever written.
"I became very familiar with the breadth of Grieg's work. Every single (one). Certain elements of his style are recognizable - syncopations, intervals, harmonies, outstanding melody lines. Really beautiful pieces."
Wiens absorbed Grieg's sources of inspiration and imagination by spending time at Troldhaugen, the composer's estate south of Bergen on Norway's west coast; taking a boat journey through fjords; visiting Norway's Academy of Folk Music; attending the Grieg International Piano Competition; checking out seven books from the Grieg Archives; and learning about the Hardanger fiddle, an indigenous Norwegian instrument with double-level strings.
"The Grieg estate is located right near one of the fjords," Wiens said. "It's become something of a tourist attraction. I was just wandering around a little bit. There's such beautiful scenery. Really spectacular waterfalls everywhere. The mountains rise right out of the water. Grieg was so inspired by the beautiful scenery."
Wiens gave himself a final exam of sorts - playing an all-Grieg recital for "one of Norway's leading piano professors who's a Grieg expert himself." He passed.
When he returned, Wiens, who's soloed with the Stockton Symphony four times, put his new knowledge to immediate use during Grieg-themed concerts in Michigan, upstate New York, Ukiah, Sonora and Stockton (St. John's Chamber Orchestra Festival on Jan. 20).
He also "got stuck" outside the Albany, N.Y., airport for three days because of Hurricane Sandy.
He now has a sense of what Grieg's music - he gained iconic status when Norway became an independent nation in 1905, two years before Grieg's death - "looks like."
"In a way, he's a major romantic figure," Wiens said. "A major nationalist figure. His melodies are so widely familiar. During wartime (1944), an operetta came out called 'Song of Norway.' It was pretty corny. So was the film (1970). But so many of the melodies are very familiar.
"People are not unfamiliar with his sound, but maybe just associating it with his name specifically. He's maintained his popularity - though the critics weren't always favorable - particularly with the public. They loved his music and still love it."
Wiens has similar feelings about his students and the benefits of sabbaticals.
Originally from New Haven, Conn., Wiens earned his bachelor's and master's degrees at the University of Michigan.
He took a one-semester leave from Pacific at full pay. (Professors receive half-pay for a full-year sabbatical.) He previously studied composers Sergei Prokofiev in Russia (1991) and Frederic Chopin in Poland (2006) on sabbaticals.
"It's wonderfully refreshing and an opportunity to just concentrate on one thing," he said. "I love teaching. I love my students and miss them when I'm away from them. Just a break in the teaching routine gets you somewhat out of your habits.
"Sometimes, you the find the best way to approach things as your students are changing. It broadens your own exposure to repertoire and different styles of teaching and repertoire."
That Norwegian scenery isn't too shabby, either.

Del Potro beats Benneteau for ABN AMRO title
ROTTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) — Juan Martin del Potro beat Julien Benneteau 7-6 (2), 6-3 on Sunday to win the ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament.
Benneteau managed what no other player at the tournament achieved — breaking del Potro's serve twice in the first set — but struggled to hold his own serve against the big-hitting Argentine and crumbled in the second set.
The 2009 U.S. Open winner was the runner-up in Rotterdam last year.
Benneteau, who beat No. 2-ranked Roger Federer in the quarterfinals, is winless in eight ATP finals.
"We are getting closer and closer. I am sure with you I can win a title," Benneteau said as he thanked his coach.
Benneteau saved four match points when serving at 5-2 in the second set, but del Potro then served out the match.
While Benneteau managed to break the 6-foot-6 Argentine, del Potro hit back immediately, breaking Benneteau as he reeled off four straight games to take command of the opening set.
Benneteau saved two set points on his own serve at 5-3 and then broke del Potro a second time on his way to forcing a tiebreaker. But the experienced del Potro dominated to take the set.
Benneteau seemed sluggish in the second set as del Potro ran away with the match, serving the final game with wadding in one nostril after suffering a nose bleed.

AVOYELLES PARISH, KPLC - Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Enforcement Division agents and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service officials are seeking leads for an illegally killed black bear that was found in Avoyelles Parish.
Officials in a Wednesday news release said that a hunter alerted authorities on Nov. 27 about a dead black bear laying on an all-terrain vehicle trail on Avoyelles Parish School Board property located 20 miles northwest of Marksville.
LDWF and USFWS officials reportedly arrived on scene and found a male black bear, approximately two years old and weighing about 100 pounds, dead from an apparent gunshot wound.
LDWF is estimating that the bear was shot and killed earlier in the day on Nov. 27.
Anyone with information regarding illegal bear killing should call the Louisiana Operation Game Thief hotline at 1-800-442-2511 or use LDWF's tip411 program. To use the tip411 program, citizens can text LADWF and their tip to 847411 or download the "LADWF Tips" iPhone app from the Apple App Store free of charge.
Officials said the hotline and the tip411 program are monitored 24 hours a day. Cash rewards up to $1,000 are offered for information leading to the apprehension of individuals involved in this crime. Tipsters can also remain anonymous.
"We have solved cases like this in the past with the public's help and we are again asking for any leads that might assist us in this investigation," said Col. Winton Vidrine, head of the LDWF Enforcement Division."
According to officials, the Louisiana black bear has been listed on the Federal Threatened and Endangered Species List since 1992. Citizens are reminded that killing a Louisiana black bear is a violation of both state law and the federal Endangered Species Act. Violators are subject to penalties of up to $50,000 and six months in jail. In addition, a restitution fine of $10,000 for the bear may be imposed on anyone convicted of killing a black bear in Louisiana.
With the number of bear and hunter interactions on the rise within the last couple of years, LDWF encourages hunters to carry bear spray and know a few simple rules. If possible, a hunter encountering a bear should back away and proceed in another direction. Officials say if a bear approaches, you should raise your arms over your head to appear larger and speak in a normal tone of voice to let the bear know you are there. If the bear continues to approach, wave your arms and yell at the bear. At this point, a hunter could use bear spray to deter the bear's approach, officials say.
Hunters should also be aware that baiting deer with corn artificially concentrates bears near deer stands. It is recommended that hunters either refrain from using corn for bait or use soybeans to reduce bear feeding activity. Bear encounters can be reported to 1-800-442-2511.

ChargePak 3 Port External Battery With Built In Wall Charger
Recharge in the woods
- Incredible device compatibility
- Charge two devices at once
- Built in wall charger and micro USB cable
Roughing it out in the wilderness is a right of passage for many, a chance to become one with nature, to be close to your ancestral stomping grounds. But as technology advanced and culture began to perfect the "inside," the outside became obsolete; at least the outside became less about the outside and more about bringing the inside to the outside. Grandpa used to tread out into the woods with nothing more than the clothes on his back, a hunting knife, and a single roll-out pad, he was unaware of the decades to come and how it might change the definition of roughing it.
Now that we have things like the ChargePak3, roughing it doesn't have to be so rough. Sure, you can head out grandpa style, but when you've got the incredible efficiency of a universally compatible, super-portable, stand-alone charging port for all your external devices, you suddenly have the option to bring along a bit of society. Reconnecting with nature doesn't have to mean throwing out the safety net of calling for help or the assurance of Angry Birds keeping you company.

This week, Hulu is proud to introduce our viewers to 3 Points, a documentary that follows Houston Rockets shooting guard Tracy "T-Mac" McGrady to three refugee camps in Chad, home to many of the roughly 250,000 refugees from the Darfur region. Inspired by the work of fellow Houston player Dikembe Mutombo as well as Chicago Bull Luol Deng (whose family is from Sudan), McGrady realized he didn't know much about what was happening in that part of the world, but he was interested in finding out how he could help out. In a time when many celebrities have turned their eyes to Africa, McGrady's on-camera experiences are refreshingly real: He's not ashamed to admit he doesn't know the right solution — in fact, at one point, he naively offers to pay to build a swimming pool for the children — but, through the course of the film, he talks to everyone willing to speak to him to better understand the needs of the region's displaced persons. What he experiences is profoundly moving, and an inspiration to all of us at Hulu. Below, McGrady tells us why he got involved and fills us in on the progress his organization, the Darfur Dream Team, has made since his 2007 visit. — Rebecca Harper (), Editor
First, can you tell us what sparked your interest in Africa?
It's really a couple of things: Being a teammate of Dikembe Mutombo for five years, knowing he comes from Congo, and just having conversations with him over the years. And also knowing that he put $10, $12 million of his own money to build a hospital in his own country. But you know, after games, sitting back there, talking, talking about everything that's going on over there in Africa like we did so many nights … it really didn't have that effect on me, to want to go over there and see it for myself. What really did it for me was sitting at home one day. I saw a PSA that [Chicago Bulls forward] Luol Deng did on TV, and I immediately after that ad, I called my assistant to set up the whole trip. I just wanted to know a little more about the conflict and everything that was going on over there.
What made you decide to document your visit on camera?
I just think it was important for me to learn as much as possible, to get as much information as I could to learn about the conflict. For me to admit to my fans that it's not embarrassing to me to admit that I don't know something. I just wanted to get all this information and learn as much as possible, and to show my fans that it's OK to say that you don't know about something and [you] want to learn more. I want them to also learn what's going on over there, so I wanted to document this whole trip.
There was a lot of discussion about how you were out of your element when you made this film. After all, you're an NBA star who lives in a mansion, and you went to these camps where you found yourself sleeping in a tent surrounded by giant bugs. What were some of the things you learned on your trip?
Well, first of all, stepping out of my element, yes, that is definitely what I did. You go from living this great life to flying over there and living in the U.N. compound. At first, I tried to sleep in the room, but I couldn't get comfortable in there because it was so hot. So then, the first time ever in my life, I slept in a tent. I just thought I could get a nice little breeze throughout the night. [Laughs]
What I wanted was just what they wanted, the three P's and that's why the documentary is called "3 Points," because it's the three P's that they wanted. That's to be protected; they wanted punishment, and they wanted peace. I've learned that the kids over there, they want to be educated. My whole idea coming back was to tell their stories and let people know what's going on over there in Darfur.
What's stayed with you since you've been back?
Everything, everything. Seeing some of the wounds. Seeing the little kids drawing in the art room. Just seeing the little kids walking around — two, three years old, with no supervision. Seeing all the pain on their faces. I mean, it's just so much that it really, really was a sad situation.
Were you surprised by what you saw, or were you prepared for it?
I think I was pretty much prepared for it. I think it helped talking to Dikembe because he's from Congo, so I was a little bit prepared. It took a while for it to really hit me. I mean, I was fine up until the last day, when I was just lying on my bed, staring at the wall. I woke up in the middle of the night and that's when it really hit me. I actually started shedding tears.
Tell us about some of the people you met — did they have any idea who you were?
[Laughs] No, they had no clue who I am. They were excited to see me, because they felt like I was there for a great cause, to bring them help. We had a bunch of people willing to sit down and have a conversation with us, which is great. It was cool, it was cool. I got to meet a lot of people over there. The most important thing is they were willing to sit down and share their stories, and I know how tough that would have been, you know, just bringing back up what they witnessed at a time in their life that was pretty harsh.
Did the experience change you at all? How?
It definitely changed me because I feel like that could have been me in that situation. If that was me in that situation, I'd want people to help me and do everything possible to get out of that situation. But because I'm blessed and I'm fortunate — you know, I'm one of the lucky ones to be able to wake up every morning and do something that I've always loved to do — I felt like it was my responsibility to do what I told them I was going to do, and that's to tell their stories when I got back to the States and educate a lot more people on this situation, and to help educate the children that are over there.
Would you go back? Do you plan to?
I don't think it's safe right now to go back. Once we get these schools up and running, hopefully it will be safe to go back. I would love to. I think I have a better understanding of how to handle the situation over there as far as the living conditions.
What is the progress of the schools? Has the conflict held things up?
No, we're definitely moving forward. That's something that I promised them I was going to do. No matter what, we're gonna move forward. We're building these schools, and I just want to thank the guys that were added on this team, this Dream Team, and that's Derek Fisher and Baron Davis, for their help in building these schools.
