All About Friends
I'm pretty sure I've talked about friends here before...maybe I haven't but felt like I have because I feel so strongly about all of the connections I've made here in the blog world.
The thoughtful, kind and loving things bloggers do for their friends are astounding to me. Someone you may never "meet" in real life can become one of your very closest friends.
You share your highs and lows, laughs, heartache and struggles with each other.
I've been so blessed to make so many wonderful connections here. I've gotten help, advice, cheering and support.
And again, this year, Myya and I head to visit some awesome blog friends we've made! This is real, people. These relationships are genuine and valid.
I was surprised with a beautiful candy bouquet the other day in the mail from a dear blogging friend. It amazed me, surprised me, and made me unspeakably happy.
It also, once again, humbles me to know all of these great people. I'm truly blessed to know you all.
I'm actually not here today and guess what? Another one of my dear and fabulous blog friends stepped in at the very last minute and offered to take over and keep things running over here for me while I'm absent.
If you've ever done guest posts, you know that it can be a pain, both on a time constraint issue and just coming up with that content can be a challenge. Especially when you have a thriving blog of your own!
So the rest of this week, please welcome and show her tons of love like my loyal France followers always do for me.
Kelley designed my new blog layout, she blogs, she has 2 littles, a husband and is a stay at home mom who recently accepted a job to help someone out and has a lot on her plate! Her blog hosts linkies, does shares recipes, crafts and bits about her life as a momma.
But again, so gracious, she offered to come keep everyone company while I'm gone.
All that's left to say is see ya later and be on the look out for the hilarious (seriously, i lol'd for reals) guest posts by Kelley.
I may not want to come back! | http://4livinginfrance.blogspot.com/2012/06/all-about-friends.html | robots: classic

2010 Digest & 2011 Goals
Happy New Year!
Well, another year is over. I didn't accomplish my reading goals, but I came pretty close. I'm satisfied.
50 New Books
Not quite: I read 50 books total, including 3 re-reads.
Best: I Capture the Castle/Hunger Games Trilogy
Worst: Shadow of the Wind/A Lady of Persuasion
6 Non-Fiction Titles
4 White Whales
Not quite: read 2, started a third. I don't think I'll ever get around to reading those Russians.
Roald Dahl Catalog
Nope. I didn't even actually try to do this in the end. My enthusiasm for Dahl's work sort of petered out by very early in the year.
For 2011, my reading goals will be:
- 50 books total
- 8 non-fiction
- 4 white whales (probably Madame Bovary, Wind Up Bird Chronicle, Anna Karenina (again), and TBD)
- The rest of Fitzgerald
1. Bovary and WUBC are actually not so bad. And well, when it comes to the Russians, you know I'm biased. Mine would be Don Quijote, and like, Pynchon or something.
2. I've started WUBC no fewer than 5 times. I'm very hopeful about 2011's 6th effort. As for Bovary (3 previous attempts), I'm currently about 20% into the new Lydia Davis translation and enjoying it a great deal. Report to come!
3. Oh! I would say don't give up on Dahl. His stuff is still among my favorites. But I understand if you're not in the mood :)
I applaud your tackling of the white whales. I got a Kindle recently, which is terribly fun. I downloaded a bunch of the "oldies but goodies" (aka the freebies). I am most of the way through Sons & Lovers. But was really slogging in the middle. I'm having mixed feelings about Lawrence.
Wind Up Bird... sigh, I still haven't picked up again. I made it through half, about, but felt too abused in general by Murakami.
Thanks for posting all these reviews! Now that I'm getting into reading again, I marvel at your tempo.
4. Rach,
I too feel abused by WUBC, but feel left out for not having read it (of what, I don't know). I am determined get through it one day, hopefully that day will be in 2011.
As for Dahl, I will likely get around to his whole body of work. I haven't met a book of his I didn't like. I just, as you mentioned, haven't been in the mood.
Hooray for your Kindle! I am a big fan of mine, though I admit I often still buy books. Sometimes, I just want to turn pages, you know?
5. I've read a bunch of Murakami, and you know, if you read WUBC that's really all you need to get a sense of his work - I'm pretty sure most of his books are variations (and lesser ones) of it. Kind of like Auster that way.
And, yay that my book club pick made the BEST list! | http://5minutebookreport.blogspot.com/2011/01/2010-digest.html | robots: classic

First off even when I was just starting out flashing when I was around 15 years old I had enough common sense NOT to get myself on camera!Secondly,If your going to risk your freedom by flashing at least wear sunglasses and a hat dumb shit!
At 3:33 with the two women that was a huge missed opportunity to get your flash on.I've flashed around elevators like this but with no cameras.Even with the cameras,wearing the right disguise and making sure NOT to leave your finger prints all over the place,I would have pulled my eight inch cock out to those ladies and jacked off to them as I asked them If they'd like to suck me off,ha ha!Been there and done that but with a lot more common sense.

Joining the community of thinkers
I am a member of a community of thinkers.
I challenge each community in the software industry to:
* reflect and honor the practitioners who make its existence possible;
* provide an excellent experience for its members;
* exemplify, as a body, the professional and humane behavior of its members;
* engage and collaborate within and across communities through respectful exploration of diverse and divergent insights;
* embrace newcomers to the community openly and to celebrate ongoing journeys; and
I believe that leaders builders in each community have a responsibility to exhibit these behaviors, and that people who exhibit these behaviors will become leaders the community’s builders.

} | 142 | SJ suspicious suitcase contained only a typewriter
July 7, 2012 4:34:36 PM PDT
A suspicious suitcase that shut down the 1100 block of Lincoln Avenue in San Jose this afternoon contained only a typewriter and does not pose a threat, according to police.
The suitcase has been collected by police, and the businesses and roadways in the area have been reopened, according to Officer Jose Garcia.
Police said that at about 12:48 p.m. they received reports that there was an unattended dark-colored Samsonite brand suitcase near a bench in the plaza of a shopping center at 1165 Lincoln Ave.
Neighboring businesses, including an outdoor farmers market, were evacuated for the investigation and the bomb squad was called in.
Garcia said the owner of the suitcase remains unknown, and police do not suspect any criminal activity or intent in the incident.

} | 268 | Mother of American Hostage Pleads With ISIS 'Caliph' for Mercy
The mother of an American writer being held hostage by ISIS pleaded directly with the leader of the Iraqi terror group in a new video, begging him to "please, release my child."
"As a mother, I ask you justice be merciful and not [to] punish my son for matters he has no control over," Shirley Sotloff says, speaking directly to the camera in the new video and addressing ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as the "caliph." "I ask you to use your authority to spare his life."
"I want what every mother wants, to live to see their children's children. I plead with you to grant me this," Shirley Sotloff says. The new video appeared today on the Middle Eastern news outlet Al Arabiya and was obtained by ABC News.

What Is ISIS?
Freelance reporter Steven Sotloff, 31, was last seen alive at the end of the disturbing video which showed the beheading of American journalist James Foley. The black-hooded ISIS militant in the video spoke directly to President Obama, calling on him to end American airstrikes against ISIS targets in Iraq.
"The life of this American citizen, Obama, depends on your next decision," the masked man says, holding Sotloff by the collar of his shirt.
Despite the shocking video and strongly-worded message from Sotloff's captors, the U.S. has not yet halted the air strikes.

} | 621 | About Alex Beecroft
Alex Beecroft, author of fantasy and historical fiction featuring gay characters
Some kind person has made me an Alex Beecroft Wikipedia Page! Thank you so much, whoever you are, and I hope you don’t mind if I quote your bio of me, which is considerably more to the point than the one I wrote myself.
Alex Beecroft was born in Northern Ireland during the Troubles and grew up in the wild countryside of the English Peak District. She studied English and Philosophy before accepting employment with the Crown Court where she worked for a number of years.Now a stay-at-home mum and full time author, Alex lives with her husband and two children in a little village near Cambridge and tries to avoid being mistaken for a tourist.
I grew up on a diet of Science Fiction and Fantasy novels, at a time when everyone felt those things were not for girls. I firmly believe that you should read (and do, and be) whatever the hell you like so long as it isn’t harming others, and if that does make you something of a misfit, in my opinion society needs its outcasts and outsiders to keep it from fossilizing altogether.
I suspect that what unites my love for historical fiction with my love for fantasy fiction is a keen desire to escape into a different world from our own, once in a while. The worlds of historical and fantasy fiction may not be perfect, but they are strange and wondrous – it’s refreshing to be able to leave the mundane behind. When you come back, hopefully you realize that our world too is quite bizarre, and can enjoy it more for the holiday.
Speaking of bizarre – I’m a keen morris dancer with the Ely and Littleport Riot womens’ border morris side, and I’m also a musician for the Coton Morris Men, having learned to play the pennywhistle in 2011. I’m also a member of the Regia Anglorum reenactment society, which portrays British history between 950-1080 AD, and a currently lapsed but possibly rejoining member of the 18th Century reenactment society the Mannered Mob. As a result of which, when the zombie apocalypse comes, I’ll be well placed to hole up on an island, make my own food, clothes, fire, shelter and entertainment, and defend myself with axe, spear and bow.
You may be wondering “why is a straight woman writing gay romance?” In my case I write m/m romance because those have been the stories that have come into my head since I started writing at age 11. I feel I’m hardwired to write fiction with gay characters – it’s part of who I am. However, if you’re interested in a more thorough debate on why women in general write m/m romance, there is a good starting point for your research here at my livejournal:

Very good recipe! If you like liqueurs, this is great. For those of you who don't like a really strong alcohol taste, try cutting the amount of liqueurs in half.
This was really good. I didn't have any creme de cacao liqueur, so I subbed Godiva liqueur and it turned out fine. I also went heavy on the whipped cream. YUM!!
I loved this! I didn't use as much chocolate as called for...I just hit my cup w/ a squirt or two. I had this as an after-dinner coffee & it was the perfect finish...thanks!
Yum! I'm not a coffee drinker and loved this!
The best coffee drink ever!

} | 610 | Canyon, Potter OK Tulia deal
Posted: Tuesday, April 06, 2004
Two more pieces of the Tulia lawsuit settlement fit into place Monday as Potter County and Canyon approved the deal during commission meetings.
After receiving an update from Assistant County Attorney Scott Brumley, Potter County commissioners approved the settlement 4-0. Commissioner Manny Perez was absent.
The county will pay $50,000 to settle, without acknowledging any liability in the case.
"Most people have this underlying feeling that, if you're not guilty, why pay anything?" Commissioner Joe Kirkwood said. If the county went to litigate, court costs would exceed $90,000 just to get started, he said.
"When it's personal, private money, you might look at it from a different route. Given all the facts that we have, we're saving the taxpayers money in this situation," Kirkwood said.
Brumley agreed with Kirkwood.
"Ultimately, Potter County has a good point to make, but sometimes you simply can't afford to make your point," Brumley said.
Canyon likewise agreed to a settlement payment without accepting any liability.
Canyon's insurer, the Texas Municipal League Intergovernmental Risk Pool, will pay $150,000 on behalf of the city, Borger, Pampa, and police chiefs Jerry Poston of Borger and Trevlyn Pitner of Pampa, City Attorney Chuck Hester said.
Canyon has paid a $1,000 deductible to its insurer for the claim.
Throughout the month, counties, cities and individuals will be approving a $1 million settlement in the federal lawsuit related to the 1999 Tulia drug sting.
The members of the Panhandle Regional Narcotics Trafficking Task Force were sued by former defendants in the sting operation after they were pardoned and had their charges dropped.
The settlement was agreed upon by all parties except Tom Coleman, the Swisher County undercover agent whose investigation is at the center of the controversy.
The city of Amarillo agreed to a separate, $5 million settlement last month.
One clause in the non-Amarillo defendants' settlement states that they won't sue the plaintiffs for any currently known claims related to the investigation, but leaves open the possibility that parties could sue for defamation arising out of future claims.
"If later we learn of facts that we don't know now," Brumley said, "or just as importantly, if in the coming media blitz - books, movies, all that kind of stuff - there was possibility of some kind of defamation or something like that, we didn't want to hamstring any of our officials who might want to vindicate themselves."
Potter County will pay the settlement out of a fund through which it insures itself for claims up to $175,000.
For claims above that amount, the county uses outside insurance.
Potter's settlement payment is greater than that of Randall County, which will pay $25,000 - $12,500 for the county and $12,500 for Sheriff Joel Richardson - because of factors relating to Randall's insurance and what the county has paid in legal costs, Brumley said.
"At this stage in the game, Randall County has expended as much as we have," Brumley said. "The difference is more in form than in substance."
Once all parties have signed the settlement, it will become official when the plaintiffs file a motion to dismiss.
Also of note
In other business, Potter County commissioners approved a resolution opposing the tax changes Gov. Rick Perry has proposed for school finance.
Kirkwood cited a Globe-News report that 244 counties have passed similar resolutions.
"We certainly need to be included in that," he said. "We need to send a clear message that they (the proposals) can really destroy counties."
Among several complaints, the commission disagrees with the governor's proposal to put elected officials on local appraisal districts because that would make the boards susceptible to influence, said Commissioner Bill Thomas.

} | 694 | Michael Waltrip wins Pepsi 300 at Nashville Superspeedway, avoids crash that takes out 4 drivers
Posted: Wednesday, April 14, 2004
GLADEVILLE, Tenn. - Michael Waltrip avoided a crash that took out the top four drivers with two laps to go, and won the Pepsi 300 on Saturday at Nashville Superspeedway.
Rookie Clint Bowyer was racing rookie Kyle Busch for the lead coming out of Turn 2 on lap 224 when he tapped Busch's Chevrolet. Busch started to spin, and Johnny Benson ran into the back of Bowyer, sending the trio and Robby Gordon into the infield.
Waltrip drove past the crash by hugging the wall.
NASCAR ruled that Waltrip had already passed Johnny Sauter when the caution came out and the field was frozen, giving Waltrip his 11th Busch Series victory and first since August at Bristol.
"We were lucky for sure," Waltrip said.
"The first thing I thought when I drove out of the smoke on the back straightaway was the Red Sea had just parted. I drove out of the smoke and into Victory Lane."
It took NASCAR time to figure out the finishing order because Gordon came across the line third followed by Bowyer, Busch, Kasey Kahne and Benson. The unofficial list had Sauter second followed by Kahne, Bowyer and Gordon.
Sauter wasn't happy with NASCAR's decision, thinking he was ahead of Waltrip when the field was frozen and that he should have won the race. Talking to reporters, he said he would bite his tongue because he doesn't need to get into more trouble.
Then he let loose on television.
"I think NASCAR is doing everything they can to keep me from winning races and accumulating points," he said.
Waltrip countered that drivers must maintain a reasonable speed back to the line.
"He got involved in the crash and did not maintain a reasonable speed," Waltrip said. "So I'm sure it's easy for Johnny to complain he should've won. But he just doesn't know the rules."
Bowyer, filling in for Kevin Harvick on the car owned by Richard Childress Racing, tried to make it very simple as he led 104 laps. He looked ready to become the fastest driver ever to win a Busch race in just his second event on the series.
But debris on the frontstretch forced the fifth caution and led to a restart with five laps remaining.
"I wish it'd never come out," Bowyer said. "I definitely had the car to beat on a long run. I just didn't need that last caution."
Busch passed Bowyer in Turn 3 on lap 223, then Bowyer tapped him and ran by him coming out of Turn 4. They kept fighting until the crash happened. Busch said he was trying to get to the bottom of the track when Bowyer hit him for the second time.
Waltrip said his crew came into this race with a car setup it had used last year, and he liked how he was running. But he was caught up with Ron Hornaday on lap 155, tearing up his Chevrolet. He was able to stay with the lead lap.
"It's no secret that it's OK to spin people out nowadays. We saw it this season a lot lately. Only problem with that tactic is it generally doesn't work at a place like Nashville or a big track," Waltrip said.
"Those cats were racing hard to get their first win obviously. They piled up the first five guys trying to do it."
Defending champion David Green finished 10th. Pole winner Martin Truex, who started 39th after being forced to his backup car because of a practice crash, was 23rd. Bobby Hamilton Jr. started on the pole and led 78 laps, but he had tire trouble and finished 27th.
Waltrip, a regular on the Nextel Cup series, has an eight-point lead over Green in the Busch standings, and is considering running the rest of the season in a bid for the title.
"You know it's certainly intriguing to see if the logistics would work and we could figure out a way to do it," Waltrip said. "It's not totally out of the question."

Your editorial on the prison industry (“Prison Nation,” 3/9) paints a shocking picture. It would be helpful to remind ourselves that while the terminology varies, there are only three goals of imprisonment: the punitive (punishment for offenses), the rehabilitative (reintegration of the offender into civil society) and the protective (restraining the offender from doing further harm). It might be helpful if judges were required to declare the weight of each of these factors in any prison sentence.
The concept of prison term limits might also profitably be explored. While the public might need to be protected from some felons indefinitely, does locking a person in a cell for over 10 years add any likelihood to the possibility that the prisoner will be rehabilitated?

History’s Mysteries
While reading Emilie Griffin’s review of Help My Unbelief, by William J. O’Malley, S.J. (“The Quest for Certitude,” 2/23), I was taken aback by the statement that “the Roman Catholic Church seems to be the original from which the others branched.”
I suspect that the Orthodox churches would disagree quite vehemently with that statement. Until 1054, when the formal schism occurred between the Eastern churches and the Latin rite church, there was no Roman Catholic church.
The Roman Catholic church is better described as the largest survivor of the original churches instead of “the original.”

Many thanks to Mary M. Foley for sharing her experiences as a pastoral minister (“Exceptional Pastoring,” 3/9), and many thanks to America for publishing her article. Having worked with and for parish coordinators in my many years of parish work, I applaud them all for their hard work and dedication to the mission of the church.

Hold That Applause
We are kidding ourselves if we think that stories such as that told by Mary M. Foley about her experiences as a pastoral minister (“Exceptional Pastoring,” 3/9) are good news. How is it good news when Foley’s position was terminated on a whim? How does this help women or the church?
We need to recognize that the emperor has no clothes. There are untold numbers of women called to serve the church who are not welcome. That is the real vocation crisis. Rather than propping up the old system with absurd organizational maneuvering, we need to embrace the women who are eager to be pastors to God’s people right now.

Playing Politics
In your editorial on the need for a “truth commission” to investigate the Bush administration (“Truth and Prosecution,” 3/23), you follow the path of others on the extreme and hysterical left, taking it as a given that crimes have been committed by the Bush administration and its legal advisors. You will be amazed to learn that there are many who disagree with you and think you are advocating the highly destructive and vindictive course of trying to criminalize the decisions of your political enemies.

More Light, Less Heat
The column by John F. Kavanaugh, S.J., on the recent controversy over President Barack Obama’s scheduled appearance at the commencement ceremony at the University of Notre Dame (“Outrages,” 4/13 online edition) is a fine contribution to the dismal story of Catholic attacks on Obama, the first president in quite a while who seems genuinely committed to seeking the common good. Beyond the particular issue, what is most disquieting is the latent venom in so many Catholics, just waiting to be called into action by some poisonous standard-bearer.
Of course the issue of abortion is a serious one; but it is a complex issue, not one best dealt with in haste or by over-simplification. It is a great pity that the American bishops do not choose to lead by recognizing the complexity of the issue on which they are called to teach, and then teaching in a way that produces more light and less heat.
In the resultant moral vacuum, it is no surprise that demagogues can whip up the masses on matters whose complexity they have not explored. And I wonder how many of them have reflected on the fact that this man they apparently hate is breaking his back trying to save their jobs, their pensions and perhaps their way of life.

Straw Man
In his recent column (“Outrages,” 4/13 online edition), John F. Kavanaugh, S.J., criticizes a commenter named “James” on an Internet blog for contradictions in his denunciation of President Barack Obama’s scheduled appearance at the University of Notre Dame. But picking on the weakest person on the other side of an issue is a little too easy, almost like pulling the wings off a fly. At this point, 15 American bishops have expressed reservations about the actions of the University of Notre Dame. How about addressing their concerns? Or should one be satisfied to demonstrate merely that one is smarter and more civil than some random person with an ax to grind?

When I read the excellent article about Karl Rahner, S.J., by Leo J. O’Donovan, S.J. (“Reading Karl Rahner,” 3/30), I was struck by his statement that we “are the truth of lives that only love can guarantee. Thus, knowledge is only momentarily an end in itself; it must always be guided by love....”
Only an hour earlier, I had heard a radio interview with a clinical psychologist who works with Alzheimer’s support groups. He spoke of a woman who regularly greeted her husband when she visited him in an Alzheimer’s care facility with the question: “Do you remember who I am?” One day, before she asked the question, he said “I don’t know who you are, but I love you.”
Aren’t these two expressions from different sources amazingly reinforcing and sublime?

Conspiracy of Silence
Kudos to Kate Blake for her superb article on the ethical treatment of animals (“Our Responsibility to All Creation,” 3/23). It was both articulate and informed. The church justly and properly advocates for the rights of the poor and voiceless all over the world, standing on the side of the defenseless in both word and action. At the same time, the church (and by extension, all of us who worship a gentle God) appears oblivious to the needs and welfare of another voiceless group: animals. There seems to be a conspiracy of silence with regard to the suffering of animals, whose sad fate is a life lived under intensive farming conditions, followed by death in a slaughterhouse.
It strikes me as quite incongruous that many people who bring their animals to church every October to have them blessed might later that same day enjoy a Sunday meal of roast beef.
In this critical time, when our stewardship of God’s creation should be of deep concern to all of us, Blake’s article is very timely.

Antonio and I often speculate on the way the human race is going to feel when they find out ,as they surely will not too long from now, that animals understand, feel, think, and love in ways far beyond anything we human beings know anything about. When people find out what cannibals and torturers they have been in doing these things to these amazing beings, people will have topay "reparations" ,as the writer of this article says near the beginning. Those reparations will be the terrible sorrow and horrible guilt humanity will have to experience at having been so egregiously wrong for so many millenia.
People have a great talent to find all kinds of very clever ways of avoiding the truth in order to do what they want, which in this case is to "enjoy the taste" and to feel righteous and to blame others for their own complicity. "I don't kill them myself, somebody else does that for me so I don't have to watch it." They do all kinds of things, "turn a blind eye",engage in crass ignorancechis is intentionally not wanting to know the truth, refusing to admit their own mistakes, lying to themselves sayiing that animal don't feel pain,etc.etc.
It is the worstl kind of moral weakness not to be able to admit one's errors and to continue to pat one's ego blatantly looking in the mirror at the face of the truth!
The article, which starts out sounding and feeling so good, finishes by telling the reader that the animals are OURS to OWN and to USE, to KILL and to EAT, As long as we are nice tto them in the process.

Recognizing that I suffer not only from pride when a letter of mine is published, but also from verbosity, editorial shortening is expected and generally welcome. This time, however, the knife cut deeply, to extent that key thoughts I was trying to convey were discarded. Those "key points" were intentionally controversial, somewhat tongue-in-cheek, and not likely politically (nor perhaps religiously) correct. If I went too far over the edge, it would have been, I think, better to discard the whole, than to cut out the heart. Therefore, I offer for the electronic record, additional text which had followed the published wording: While the public might need to be protected from a felon indefinitely, does locking a person in a cell for over, say, ten years, add any meaningful likelihood of rehabilitation, without becoming punitive to the extent of being cruel and inhumane? Or would a cumulative adult sentence of over ten years for multiple felonies not also be vindictive and/or pointless? I would suggest that after the ten year limit, the offender be banished. With some creative thinking, a suitable location could surely be found. If the "ten year" number seems inappropriate, any other suitable number could be substituted. If the concept of "banishment" seems inappropriate ....

roughly under half the fat left, so no worse than

85/15 - > 93/7
70/30 - > 85/15
and possibly even less fat than those...

That only works if you want your beef well done. I prefer mine medium-rare, so the 93% lean is the only option for me

true, but when i am doing the volume food for day to day, the ability to make up 5lbs of beef at once and store it in the fridge a week is worth more to me than enjoying it

I mean it cant be adding anymore calories beside the cheese correct? The only reason I ask this is because I have been on a strict routine with what I eat but over the weekend I was at my sisters and she had a left over hamburger in the fridge and I was starving so i just took it out and eat it and it was actually real good. let me know fellas....the beef i always use is just regular ground meat from the butcher!
You guys gotta try Bubba Burgers. They are sold in the frozen section of most supermarkets. I know I know..a frozen burger? Well..holy ****...one of the juiciest burgers I have ever had. Probably not the healthiest but rank very high in the flavor department.

Some info from one of my resources regarding lean meats:
The USDA figures one of the leanest beef cuts to be double bone sirloin steak.
A 12 oz sirloin, dry broiled and trimmed, yields 6.6 oz of meat, including 1.8 oz of fat. When you exclude the 107 grams of water content (57%) which has 0 calories, the lean meat left is 61 grams. The fat left is 19 grams including 9 grams of saturated fat. Lean meat (protein) is 4 calories per gram, fat is 9 calories per gram..so this works out as:
Fat - 19 grams x 9 calories=171 calories=41%
Protein - 61 grams x 4 calories=244 calories=59%
Total - 415 calories
So...one of the best lean cuts is still 41 % fat. 19.5 % saturated fat. That's way above the government health reccommendations of 30 % total fat, 10% saturated fat. All other cuts of beef are even fattier. Pork is worse.
Note: The book is a few years old so those government reccomendations may have changed. Hope this tidbit provides some insight and something to ponder on.

1. TB 500 w/ Prolotherapy??? Counteracts each other? or ok?
Prolotherapy cause an inflammatory response to intiiate your bodys healing process
While TB 500 causes an anti-infammatory response, but also promotes collagen synthesis and healing???
am I off, or would taking TB 500 and undergoing prolotherapy be counteractive ?
2. bump to this - anyone have any information on if these two would coutneract?
3. not familiar with TB 500, maybe you could shed some light, I am familiar with dextrose prolotherapy and you are correct, it is used to re-initiate the inflammatory response to eventually allow the body to heal itself, the only evidence I had read was on idiopathic coccydynia and it was mildly effective
4. after doing 5 minutes of research i found :SourceStem Cell Project Group, The Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Medical Science, Tokyo Metropolitan Organization for Medical Research, 2-1-6 Kamikitazawa, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo 156-8506, Japan.
Thymosin β4 (Tβ4) is a major intracellular G-actin-sequestering peptide. There is increasing evidence to support important extracellular functions of Tβ4 related to angiogenesis, wound healing and cardiovascular regeneration. We investigated the expression of 'Tβ4' and 'thymosin β10', a closely related peptide, during skeletal muscle regeneration in mice and chemotactic responses of myoblasts to these peptides. The mRNA levels of 'Tβ4' and 'thymosin β10' were up-regulated in the early stage of regenerating muscle fibres and inflammatory haematopoietic cells in the injured skeletal muscles of mice. We found that both Tβ4 and its sulphoxized form significantly accelerated wound closure and increased the chemotaxis of C2C12 myoblastic cells. Furthermore, we showed that primary myoblasts and myocytes derived from muscle satellite cells of adult mice were chemoattracted to sulphoxized form of Tβ4. These data indicate that muscle injury enhances the local production of Tβ4, thereby promoting the migration of myoblasts to facilitate skeletal muscle regeneration.
i would ask your doctor, but it appears as if it would be ok to undergo both and maybe beneficial but thats just my opinion, again i would seek medical advice
Are you currently deciding between the two?
5. Post this in the supplement section for more input.

This is about the umteenth year I have seen this.
Your organization has probably saved me hundreds of dollars by directing me to intelligent purchases.
I have probably also wasted thousands of hours reading reviews about every gadget, component, chip set ,... you name it; just like a kid waiting for the newest movie or latest comic book. There must be a 12 step program available for most or your subscribers.
Finally, as a member of the New Orleans community, I remember your asking all your readers to keep us in thier thoughts immediately after Katrina. Most of us want several months without television, phones or even electricity. Communicating via internet was literally a life saver for all of us. ------------ Happy Birthday!!!

You have been an inspiration for me my whole life. I've been reading your articles for longer than I can remember. I could even say I owe my job to you. Without everything that I learned from your website, I would probably have never gotten my job.
Not to be age-ist or anything but it's also really impressive what you have accomplished even though you're 2 years younger than me! For some odd reason I always thought that you were older than me.
In any case, I hope you're enjoying your Birthday. Thank you for everything that you and your staff have taught me.

You and Greg Easterbrook must be the same person.
So, let me get this straight-- someone will injure Brady or Vrabel and it will be somehow justified?? Oh really?? A late hit or cheap shot will be a well-deserved thing because Brady was still in the game in the third or fourth quarter and still wanted to work on some offensive sets to prepare for Indy next week and the Redskins, an NFL team of millionaire professional adult men, failed to stop him??
That's lame. You may be 'the messenger,' Dude, but you sure as hell don't seem to see a problem with that scenario. Would you really waste your breath on a blog post condemning how someone hit Brady late if it actually happened?? You'd be all "I don't condone it, but he had it coming..." After all, they beat the living crap out of your porcelain hummel Redskin figurines by an extra few TDs. Boy, Joe Gibbs didn't deserve that kind of treatment. I saw the 'Skins go for it on 4th down with 2 minutes left and they got their asses stuffed. I guess New England should have let them have a mercy TD. Heaven's sake, play hard, just not too hard!!
The Pats took what the Skins gave them, dude, and apparently it was a LOT.
Hey, if the folks around the league don't like the Pats' playing hard for 60 minutes, THEN STOP THEM!! I remember the Pats getting creamed like this through most of my childhood. The Bears 'ran it up' to a 46-10 score in SB XX by handing the ball to the Fridge at the goal line, for God's sake, and nobody in Massachusetts whined and whimpered like this-- they took their medicine. Nobody called Ditka 'Classless.' Nor did we hear anyone saying how Jim McMahon should be taken out via a late hit or cheap shot and it would be justified.
I've also played on baseball and basketball teams where guys played hard until the final out or the final buzzer. I've been on teams that have gotten DESTROYED. I've never had a problem with this. Your 'new school-old school' analogy fails to acknowledge that the old school way is to play hard from wire-to-wire.
Cassel (The Pats Backup QB) threw an INT for a TD last week, you don't think he wanted to redeem himself in the eyes of his coach?? Yeah, he played hard and ran one into the end zone. Should he have run out of bounds, Andrew, to protect New England against your flaming blue righteous indignation-saber??
The 'Skins complaining just makes them look like middle school girls. Stop the Pats, and then you can jaw all you want. That's the way it works in the NFL.

A more appropriate superbowl comparison would have been the Doud Williams bowl of '87. Gibbs' skins had it won at halftime, they went out there and ran ran ran. That's what you're supposed to do. Bellicheck was out of line. Even the Boston papers comment on it.

From Today's Globe:
"Asked for his take on how Belichick handled his offense Sunday, Colts coach Tony Dungy said, "Every week is a little different, and sometimes you have different things you want to accomplish. I know when we've gotten Jim Sorgi in at times, you want to let him get a chance to do some things and throw with the first group. And we've thrown a lot of balls late in games when we've had big leads.
"Other times, you're working on different things. I think only that coach knows what you're trying to accomplish, and basically in the NFL, you don't try to coach other people's teams. How they play, that's up to them. I've never been one to get offended by whatever anybody else does. You don't know what they're trying to work on."
Sorry, man-- not everybody is so horrified by the vicious and morally reprehensible Patriots. If the Colts beat the Pats this week, fine. But it won't be because the Pats stopped trying. Maybe you should write to Mr Gibbs if you've got such a problem.
GO PATS!!

Oh, just one more thing. After doing a little digging, I came up with these gems (from the message board on
"January 2, 1983: Leading 28-0 IN THE 4TH QUARTER vs. the St. Louis Cardinals, Gibbs has starting QB Joe Theismann throw a TD pass to starting running back Joe Washington to make the score 35-0.
November 20, 1984: Up 39-6 in the 4th Quarter vs. the LA Rams, GIbbs kicks a field goal to make the score 42-6
November 3, 1985: Up 34-3 in the 4th Quarter, Gibbs has Mark Mosely kick a 48 yard field goal to make it 37-3
January 31, 1988 (Super Bowl XXII): Up 35-10 in the 4th quarter, Gibbs has starting running back Timothy Smith (who rushed for over 200 yards that day) score a TD. Starting QB Doug Williams is still in the game. That pushes the score to 42-10.
September 1, 1991: Up 42-0 in the 4th Quarter, Gibbs has Mark Moseley kick a FG to make the score 45-0. The previous score was a 38 yard pass from starting QB Mark Rypien to starting WR Gary Clark to push the score from 35-0 to 42-0.
November 10, 1991: Up 35-17 in the 4th Quarter vs. Atlanta, Gibbs has starting QB Rypien throw a 82 yard pass to Gary Clark to make the score 42-17. Next time they get the ball, Rypien throws a 64 yard bomb to Hall of Fame WR Art Monk to push the score to 49-17.
November 29, 1992: Up 27-3 in the 4th Quarter vs. Phoenix, Gibbs has starting QB Rypien thow a 31 yard TD to Gary Clark to make the score 34-3. Later, Gibbs throws to Hall of Famer Monk for another TD to make the score 41-3."
Please, Andrew, won't you let us all know what horrible sportsmanship Joe Jesus Jackson Gibbs has displayed in the past??
Could it PLEASE be the topic of your next blog post??
...Didn't think so.

If you take a closer look at thos "gems" above, Scott, you'll see that the vast majority of them are field goals (i.e. not going for it on 4th down) and running backs (i.e. not bombs to wideouts). The pass to Clark in the 1991 Atlanta game (which I still remember fondly) was a short route and broken tackle. No effing linebackers playing tight end, no gadget plays. Gibbs runs out the clock with halfbacks and by converting third downs.
Scoring and running up the score are not the same things. Playing hard and running up the score are not the same things. It baffles me that you don't see this.
I challenge you to find the word "justified" in my description of how Brady is going to get plowed. I'm just saying it's going to happen. Since I wrote this, I've listened to or read John Riggins, Mark Schlereth, Mike Golic, and Mike Ditka all say the same thing. Whose fault will it be? Well, it will be the fault of the guy who does the hit. But Belichick will bear some responsibility.
• At 11/01/2007 8:43 AM , Anonymous phil said...
Art Monk is not in the Hall Of Fame, though many would argue that he belongs there.
And Andy's point is exactly correct. The vast majority of those plays were field goals, runs, or short passes which were broken by good receivers. None of those examples is in any way comparable to Bellicheck's behavior on Sunday. If you can't see that, you just don't understand the game.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE??? You don't stop playing!!! How is it the Pats' fault for wanting to execute
every time they have the ball?? Show me where the unwritten rule is written that I "Just don't understand" in the NFL rulebook.
"field goals, runs, or short passes which were broken by good receivers"
You already shoot your argument full of holes with this namby-pamby crap. How is it different?? And who cares if the BB uses defensive players on offense?? That really bothers you? Good lord, you guys need to find every reason to be upset.
Did you see Brady with 2 minutes to play when Koppen got called for a false start?? He was absolutely livid. That has nothing to do with the Redskins, and everything to do with perfect execution.
This team is not worried about the feelings of those they play. They are not out to be your friend. They see an opportunity to be one of the greatest teams of all time and they are taking it. If you can't stop it, then shut the hell up.

Skeletons in the closet
Cold, Hard Football Facts for October 31, 2007
By Kerry J. Byrne
Cold, Hard Football Facts whine cooler
It's Halloween. What better time to uncover some skeletons in the closet?
We all have them. You have them. We have them (though ours are a little, ahem, "big boned"). Players and "pundits" have them, too.
We were reminded of all these skeletons when we saw so many players, fans and "pundits" dressed up as whiny little bitches this week.
In case you hadn’t heard, New England is "running up the score" on its opponents. It’s been among the hot topics on every sports talk show since Sunday, when the Patriots laid a 52-7 whipping on the Redskins who – last we checked – were a team of highly paid professionals, with a winning record, and who very well may end up in the playoffs this year.
In other words, the Redskins aren't exactly the JV squad from Boris Karloff School of Acting.
But apparently the Redskins – and certain segments of pigskin “punditry” – feel that the Patriots should have shown a little more "respect" by, like, just falling on their faces each play of the second half. As if that would have been more respectful.
The situation that got everyone's panties in a bunch was this: New England was leading 38-0 with 11 minutes to play in the fourth quarter, and facing a 4th and 1 within easy field goal range at the Washington 7. But New England eschewed the easy field goal attempt -- in other words, they essentially took points off the board -- and responded with the most conservative play in sports: a QB dive up the middle.
New England got the first down, and proceeded to score another touchdown, on a short pass to Wes Welker. New England also converted a fourth down later in the game, on a pass from second-string QB Matt Cassel, a guy who's thrown about three passes in anger since high school, to Jabar Gaffney, a sixth-year journeyman receiver who has fewer TD catches in his career (9) than outside linebacker Mike Vrabel (10).
So are the Patriots running up the score? We don't know.
And neither do you.
We do know this: the Patriots are among the most balanced teams in football, passing the ball on 51 percent of their offensive plays. They're also a classic example of a team that builds a lead with the pass and then secures the lead with the run.
* The Patriots have passed the ball on 160 of 285 first-half plays (56 percent)
* The Patriots have passed the ball on 107 of 229 second-half plays (47 percent)
But since the Cold, Hard Football Facts are not always enough to silence the screams of "running up the score," we thought it was worth diving into the ghoulish past of the most vocal critics.
The complaint: Young said on ESPN Monday that New England’s big victories are tarnishing its image. Apparently, he pines for the days when the Patriots were a “lucky” team manned by a bunch of “overachievers” who squeaked out close wins. He also implied some sort of psychoses on behalf of Bill Belichick this year.
New England’s big margins of victory are the result of Belichick’s “insecurity from spygate,” said Young from behind the desk on ESPN.
The skeletons in the closet: Maybe Belichick is feeling the same kind of insecurity Young felt after playing second fiddle to Joe Montana in the hearts and minds of San Francisco football fans – the same kind of insecurity that caused Young to throw a record six TD passes in Super Bowl XXIX, the last in the fourth quarter with his team sporting a comfortable 42-18 lead against the overmatched 11-5 Chargers.
Young in the ESPN segment also lamented getting his ass handed to him by the Bears back when he was with Tampa Bay.
Indeed, the Bears did beat the Bucs 48-14 back in 1986, Young’s second and last year in Tampa. But he conveniently failed to mention San Francisco’s 52-14 deconstruction of the Bears when he was with the 49ers in 1991.
Finally, Young also kind of forgot to mention how the 49ers treated the woeful Falcons during his tenure in San Francisco: which is pretty much the same way you treat the water in your toilet bowl.
Here are just some of the scores of the San Francisco-Atlanta series during Young’s tenure leading the post-Montana 49ers:
* 1992 – San Fran 56, Atlanta 17
* 1992 – San Fran 41, Atlanta 3
* 1994 – San Fran 42, Atlanta 3
* 1994 – San Fran 50, Atlanta 14
You know, if the 49ers hadn’t hung 16 fourth-quarter points on the Falcons in that 50-14 tune-up for their Super Bowl run, maybe it wouldn't have tarnished San Fran's image so drastically.
The complaint: The Redskins quarterback had a gem after the Patriots game Sunday.
“When we’re in those situations,” said Campbell, “we tend to back off.”
The skeletons in the closet: Campbell's quote is funny, seeing he's never been in “one those situations” in his NFL career.
In his one and a half seasons in a Washington uniform (he didn't do anything his first year, 2005), the Redskins have won a grand total of one game by two TDs or more – a 34-3 win over Detroit earlier this year.
In other words, Campbell has never in his time with the Redskins found himself in "one of those situations" where he would “tend to back off.”
Maybe Campbell had his pro career confused with his college career, like that time he led upstart Auburn to a 73-7 win over the mighty Warhawks of Louisiana-Monroe.
The complaint: Miami fans say New England rubbed it in two weeks ago when they pulled Tom Brady, yet then put him back in the game to lead the Patriots to another score.
The skeletons in the closet: The Patriots did the supposedly humane thing by pulling Brady for the entire fourth quarter of their 49-28 win over the Dolphins. New England was instantly rewarded with a defensive touchdown by Miami, to make the score 42-21 early in the fourth quarter.
Has anyone else here seen a team overcome a three-TD deficit in the fourth? That's right. We have, too.
So New England reinserted Brady, in a move that absolutely accomplished the goal of professional football: it crushed the spirit of the Dolphins. Miami played like a defeated group after Brady came back in, allowing the re-inserted QB to drive the Patriots 59 yards for a score in just four plays.
Of course, Miami fans are the last people in the world who should lament a victory by a team that crushed the spirit of its opponent.
Does 1972 ring a bell, anyone?
The famous undefeated Dolphins didn't even throw a single dry bone to the pathetic Patriots (who went 3-11) that year. In fact, Miami reserved its biggest beating for its northern rivals: the Dolphins won, 52-0.
There is no "running up the score" in professional football, folks, just as there is no crying in baseball.
But you better be careful what you bitch about. Because there are always skeletons in the closet.
• At 11/01/2007 2:45 PM , Blogger Andrew Hamm said...
If you don't see the difference between playing hard and asshole play-calling like Belichick's, then I don't know what to say to you.
I recommend reading the John Clayton column Phil referenced, which reads in part:
On Sunday, Belichick kicked a Hall of Fame coach while he was down, running up the score on Joe Gibbs' Redskins in a 52-7 win. This comes a week after Belichick reinserted quarterback Tom Brady midway through the fourth quarter of a 49-28 win over the Dolphins.
What seemed cute three weeks when Kyle Eckel scored late on a 1-yard run during the Pats' 48-27 win in Dallas has turned ugly.
Or the Boston Herald's Karen Guregian, who writes:
There’s a growing sentiment around the NFL that the Patriots [team stats] are piling on, needlessly tacking on points at the end of games to flog their opponents to a much greater degree.
Some of the evidence is fairly compelling.
Was it entirely necessary to tell Brady to put his cleats back on with 10:30 remaining to add to a three-touchdown lead?
Or how about the week before against Dallas, when Kyle Eckel plowed in from the 1-yard line with 19 seconds left to play on fourth down, the team already ahead by two scores? Wouldn’t taking a knee have sufficed?
While Belichick eloquently has defended those plays, there’s still a pretty good case to be made against him. The Pats could very well be found guilty of running up the score in more than a few of their first seven games.
Or the Sporting News' Mike Florio, who says:
Is Belichick giving the rest of the NFL the finger?
Last week in this space, I raised the question of whether opponents of the New England Patriots might be thinking that the team is running up the score -- and whether such opponents will be looking for payback for the full duration of Bill Belichick's tenure with the team.
This week, it's even harder to make the case that the Patriots didn't run up the score against the Washington Redskins and Hall of Fame coach Joe Gibbs. Apart from yet another fake-spike play late in the first half, the Patriots amazingly eschewed a field-goal attempt while leading 38-0 with 11 minutes to play and went for it on fourth-and-short from the Redskins' 7-yard line.
Let's get this straight: Belichick would have been uncomfortable with a lead of only 41 with 11 minutes to go? Please. The Redskins hadn't scored a point. Even if the Patriots had pulled 11 guys out of the stands to play defense the rest of the way, the gap would not have been closed.
And then, leading 52-7 with less than a minute to play, New England still had numerous starters on the field. That's simply inexcusable.
Or CBS SportsLine's Mike Freeman, who says:
What's the matter, Belichick? You couldn't find Joe Gibbs' dog to run over while you were running up the score? ...
... We get it, Bill. You're mad the league ratted you out over Videogate. You're out for revenge. You want blood. You're De Niro in The Untouchables. You're going medieval and analog on people.
You are raising your middle finger to the entire football establishment.
Or my personal favorite, from "Five-Tool Tool:"
In today's Bad Tooth moment for me, I read Simmons' latest mouth job for the Patriots. It turns out that running up the score and being irredeemable douchebags is OK, because people said mean thing about the Patriots about CheaterGate FOR TWO WHOLE WEEKS.
I mean, really, people, what were we thinking? The marquee team of the league threatens the entire viability of the NFL by compromising its integrity in a particularly blatant way, right in front of the league's commissioner, and we went *on and on* about it. WE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER.
I could go on.
It's NOT just a bunch of sore losers who are calling attention to this, okay? I'm not just a homer pissed about his team losing. I felt dirty earlier this season, WHEN I WAS ROOTING FOR THE PATRIOTS, when Eckel ran for a 1-yard TD with 0:19 left to extend the lead to 48-27. Hell, that was against DALLAS and I thought it was wrong.

One more comment to add, from Michael David Smith of the The New York Sun:
But issues of sportsmanship aside, Belichick was foolish to leave Brady on the field — especially as Brady was throwing passes and running quarterback sneaks — long after the game was no longer in doubt. The Patriots, who will play the Indianapolis Colts in a battle of unbeatens this Sunday, are playing so well that an injury to Brady may be the only thing that could derail them.
Belichick's hubris makes an injury to Brady more likely. Brady has stayed remarkably healthy through his NFL career. But every NFL player is just one play away from being lost for the season. Even if he's doing nothing but handing off, any time Brady is on the field, he's risking the possibility of a collision with a 300-pound defensive lineman. Some NFL linemen may be as angry at the Patriots as Godfrey was last Sunday, and in the mood to go out of their way to level the Patriots' superstar. The only truly safe place for Brady is the sideline — and that's where he should be when the game is out of reach.
I guess Smith's analysis is the same as approving of Brady getting injured, right?

Aaaand three-time Super Bowl winner Mark Schlereth:
Fourth down, it's okay to hand it off, a little dive play, and see what happens. If you pick it up, good for you. But to be throwing it on fourth down, to be going for touchdowns with that kind of lead, 38-nothing, 45-nothing, there are some unwritten rules. It'd be like a guy trying to lay down a bunt during a no-hitter or a perfect game in the ninth inning with nobody on and no chance to win it. I mean, those are the kind of things that you just don't do.
... And I agree with handing it off, and if you score, you score, and that's just the way it is. And I agree with going for it on fourth down and not rubbing their nose in it by kicking a field goal. But you don't throw the football in those situations, you hand it off, a basic dive play, and see what happens.

WANH. Have fun rooting for the Colts, Andrew. Maybe they can do what your Redskins failed to do. Namely, show up.
• At 11/02/2007 4:34 AM , Blogger Scott Wichmann said...
You COULD go on?? I WILL. GLADLY.
Even your own freaking Redskins disagree with you, Bro. From today's WaPo:
"It's interesting that two people who defended the Patriots this week, and who seem to best understand them, are former Super Bowl quarterback Joe Theismann, and tight end Chris Cooley, who was the only Redskin to get into the end zone Sunday.
"If the Patriots want to play 60 minutes of football, good for them," Theismann told The Post's Mark Maske. "What happens if you play Tom Brady three quarters every week and you have your team used to playing three quarters, and then you go to Indianapolis and you can't get by playing three quarters?"
Cooley not only declined to criticize the Patriots, he was openly admiring. "We've had halftime leads, both times we lost, and it's a lesson that we can learn from those guys," Cooley said. "I think it's good they pile the points on. It teaches their guys to keep playing hard. . . . Right now they're killing everybody. I don't fault them."
Wow, maybe the Pats can sign Chris Cooley someday, since he wants to be on a team that plays hard for 60 full minutes, instead of waiting for Grandpa Gibbs to figure out how many timeouts he has left every week.
But, oh, great God Mark Schlereth is the be all and end all of Football insight!! of course, a couple of studio analysts have their panties in a twist because the Pats kept at it, so now your face is all red and you're crying foul when teams like Indy ran their offenses just like New England, most notably in 2004. Where was your outrage then??
Here's Eric Wilbur of Boston.Com:
"How's this for a four-game stretch of NFL greatness?
W, 49-14
W, 41-10
W, 41-9
W, 51-24
In fact, quite the opposite happened. The Colts were celebrated as the bright and shining star of the NFL. Following the 51-24 win over Tennessee, the Indy Star's Bob Kravitz wrote, "At this point, we're not just watching football anymore. We're watching history. Every week, the Indianapolis Colts' offense uses the football field as its canvas, and every week, it creates an art form that is distinct from everything else in the copycat NFL."
Flash forward almost three years, and the very same Kravitz wrote about the juggernaut New England Patriots, "In the last three weeks, New England has scored 48, 49, and 52 points, inspiring inquiring minds to wonder, 'Did the Patriots pile on?' And every week, the obvious answer is, 'Duh.'"
...But because the Patriots are the team – and coach – everybody loves to hate, there's something inherently wrong with winning big-time. After plain embarrassing the Redskins on Sunday at Gillette, 52-7, the hue began. "The Patriots are running up the score." "The Patriots show no class." "The Patriots are showing the game disrespect."
Please. As Gary Shelton wrote in the St. Petersburg Times, "SCORING 52 POINTS DOESN'T DISRESPECT THE GAME; GIVING UP 52 DOES."
You don't like it? Fine. Stop them. Do something to slow down the steaming, oncoming train that is New England. Can't do it? Tip your hat and call it a day. Or, whine about it into the ensuing days when you really should be preparing for your next opponent. Your call. But please do not try to make the argument that what the Pats are doing is bad for the game. It is certainly up for debate, but anyone who celebrated what the Colts did in 2004, then turns around and points the reproach finger at the Patriots isn't invited to the argument.
I fear what might happen if they run it up on the beloved Colts. There might be an investigation into whether Kraft legally bought the team 13 years ago. Maybe Indy will get another rule change instituted.
After beating the Texans, 41-9 on Nov. 14 three years ago, ESPN's Eric Allen addressed the issue as to whether or not Manning should have been pulled in the fourth quarter. "I don't think they should have for two reasons. One, right now Manning is extremely hot and has the opportunity to break a few very hard to reach records. It's nice to see a guy in the zone that much still on the field making it happen for his team."
That was then. That was Manning. When it comes to Brady and the Patriots, the story completely changes. For the Colts, it's history, and special. For the Patriots, it's smug and disrespectful. And for those waiting for Belichick's comeuppance, well, let's just hope you're comfortable."
PEOPLE, GIVE IT A REST!! Then I read Your boy Whitlock was openly calling for the LEAGUE TO STEP IN this week to stop the Pats from scoring so much!! Have you all lost your freaking minds?? God, can they just play freaking football?? What is with this 'victimization' thing the NFL is up in arms about?? I've said it before, I'll say it again-- my Pats got DESTROYED when I was a kid; The Jets and Dolphins 'ran up the score' on them ROUTINELY!!! I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH IT!! ZERO!! I NEVER HAVE!! That's FOOTBALL!!
I never even carried a tenth of grudge that you apparently have about it, and I was TWELVE. You act like someone just burned all you comic books and
smacked an old woman while kicking a puppy into traffic. Get over it.
And for the record, the 'Video gate' or 'spygate' thing has nothing to do with the way the Pats have been playing. That crap is a theory batted about as if it were somehow gospel, that Belichick is wanting to take it out on the league for calling his 3 SBs into question. I think this whole offensive approach was decided on wayyy before they got caught videotaping signals.
The Pats blew a 21-pt lead in the AFC Title game and the Colts pounced on them and beat them. It was a great victory for the Colts; A well-fought battle back from what looked like a severe blowout by the beginning of the 3rd quarter. Oh, heavens, Why , the Pats should have just RUN the ball in the 2nd half!! They had a 3 TD Lead!! After all, the good sportsmanship seal of approval is more important than the AFC Title!!
The Colts deserve everything they achieved last year. They were the better team, and the Pats couldn't hang. I can live with that.
The Pats of 2007 are approaching their offense with a Ray Lewis/Dick Butkus/Tedy Bruschi 'full-tilt-full-time' ethos. That's what they are doing. They don't want to ever let up; They don't care who they play or what the scenario is.
From Brady Himself:
"We play [until] the clock says zero-zero," Brady said yesterday, asked about running up scores. "That's an interesting question of scoring too many points. I don't know if that's ever been a problem here in the past. I think you just try to do the best you can do. As an offense, that's what we're trying to do. We're not trying to let other teams tee off on us, or let them get the best of us. If you call a play, we want to make it a great play. I don't think we want to come off the field saying, 'That was great. I hope they feel good about themselves. Because, you know, we just got the crap knocked out of us.' I don't think that's really the approach an offensive football team should take."
Finally, Andrew, Get off your freaking soapbox about NE's fake spikes, Mike Vrabel catching TDs, and the Pats doing what they do.
The Pats are my team, I've followed them since I was a kid, and I'm one person who's not buying your particular brand of cheese and whine.
Go Pats. I'm out.

Even your own freaking Redskins disagree with you, Bro.
The quotes you've presented are not indicitave that these people didn't think the Pats were running up the score. They are indicitave that the speakers have class and display good sportsmanship. A stark contrast to coach Bullychick's behavior.
There's an old saying "actions speak louder than words".
If you get HBO check out this week's "Inside the NFL". Lots of very enlightening discussion of the subject from the excellent and knowledgable personalities there.
That sound you heard was the point flying right over your head. :)

I'd be curious to hear your theory on WHY no one was complaining about the 2004 Colts but NFL pundits and former players are complaining about the Patriots now. Could it be because the Colts weren't running gadget plays or passes on fourth down with 38-point leads?
No I'm not going to "get off my soap box" about that, because that is the entire point. Schlereth put it exceptionally well, despite your scorn; if the other defense can't stop your ball-control, clock-killing safe offense, then fine. The Patriots' play-calling is NOT THAT.
Bullychick is turing the Pats into the Yankees. I'm pretty sure they've crossed the line into Most Hated Team in the League. Nice job.

Among the files needed to root an Android device (such as superuser.apk and su), an unsecured boot image is also required (boot.img) to allow for the installation of the superuser and su.
I understand the theory behind the unsecured boot image ( set in the ramdisk) - is it possible for me to make this file myself? Or at the least, where can I download it independently of the zip packages that it usually comes with? I'd prefer to create it myself or download the file from the source rather than rely on zipped packages (for version tracking and change logs).

1 Answer 1
You generally don't need to edit the boot.img to root your phone. What's your phone model, so we can give you the instructions?
Edit: To root a Galaxy Nexus, first you have to unlock the bootloader, which is really easy since the GNex is a dev phone, just google how to unlock the bootloader, and follow the instructions. I recommend droid-lifes tutorial, but anyone should do. Then all that's left is the rooting.
• First you have to download this zip file
• Then unzip the file anywhere on you computer, like C:\gnex\
• Install the Samsung drivers that are in the zip
• After you have installed the drivers, turn the phone of and connect the USB to your computer and phone.
• Open a command prompt from the start menu, then move to the directory you unzipped the file to (e.x. cd C:\gnex)
• Now you have to boot your phone into fastboot mode, by pressing and holding both the volume-UP and volume-DOWN buttons and then press the power button.
• Next, type fastboot devices into the command prompt you opened earlier, and check that your phone is in the list.
• Now we have to soft-boot an insecure boot image by typing fastboot boot boot.img into the command prompt
• When the phone has rebooted, open settings, and go to Settings -> Applications -> Development and check in the USB debbuging option.
• Now execute all of these following commands, after each other, in the command prompt:
1. adb root
2. adb remount
3. adb push su /system/bin
4. adb push Superuser.apk /system/app
5. adb shell chmod 06755 /system/bin/su
6. adb shell chmod 06755 /system/app/Superuser.apk
• Now your device should be rooted and ready.

I know how to root my device, but thanks for the taking the time to write them out. My question pertains specifically to the creation of the unsecured boot.img file needed for the rooting process. – kaspnord Jan 27 '12 at 17:18
you don't need to create an unsecure boot.img to root, you just need to unlock the bootloader, as i sais in my answer. – kyrias Jan 28 '12 at 20:27
I can't speak for the OP, but I would also like to get the "secured" boot.img file directly from the stock phone so that I can go through the exercise of "unsecuring" it myself (changing to and booting with that one. I want to do this instead of using a boot.img that I download from the net that is part of someone else's root package. Thanks! – user29020 Jan 23 at 1:10

I've updated Google Talk to "Hangouts (replaces Talk)". Now whenever I get a message, I receive two notifications: one from the new Hangouts app and the other from the old Talk app. How do I disable the notification from Talk?
Device is Samsung Galaxy S II running Android 4.1.2.
share|improve this question
Hmm, Hangouts seems to have truly replaced Talk on my AT&T SGS3 (I can't remember whether it was built in or I installed it from Google Play, though). But try this: Settings -> Application Manager -> All (tab) -> Talk (maybe Google Talk) -> Disable. Or you could try going into Talk's settings and disabling anything related to notifications. – Trebor Rude May 20 '13 at 10:56
@TreborRude the app menu no longer contains "Talk" so I can't access its settings. In the application manager, neither "Talk" nor "Google Talk" appear under the "all" tab. – Oak May 20 '13 at 10:59
They just changed the app's name. If you take a closer look: the package name is still the same for hangout: So it's technically impossible to have both apps installed at the same time (unless manipulating one of them into using another package name). – Izzy May 20 '13 at 11:43
What happens when one is built in and the other downloaded, @Izzy? There must be some reason he's getting double notifications. That couldn't happen if the app was completely replaced. Stray service? Have you rebooted since installing Hangouts, @Oak? – Trebor Rude May 20 '13 at 12:09
@TreborRude just tried a reboot and it solved it. I guess I need to watch The IT Crowd some more :) please post an answer so I could accept it. – Oak May 20 '13 at 13:12

As Izzy pointed out in the comments, the package name of Hangouts is the same as the one for Google Talk: Therefore, even if Talk was built in to your ROM, it should be 'overlaid' by Hangouts.
However, it's possible that there's some Google Talk service that didn't get killed by the upgrade process. If that's the case, a simple reboot should solve the problem.

I am having the same issue with my HTC Incredible 2. This issue has persisted after a reboot. – Jeff May 24 '13 at 14:45
Several reboots did not fix error – Keith Sirmons Jun 4 '13 at 18:46
I had exactly the same problem. I solved it by doing the following:
• Settings
• Applications
• Manage applications
• Tab 'All'
• Google Services Framework
• Clear data
• reboot the phone
Good luck
share|improve this answer
After following these instructions, my hangouts were no longer being notified of new messages. I ended up clearing data of Hangouts. Uninstalling Google Play Services, then when I launched Hangouts, it had me re-install Google Play Services. After install I had to re-open Hangouts twice and then it was working correctly. – Keith Sirmons Jun 4 '13 at 19:19
If a reboot doesn't solve the problem, such as in my case (HTC Desire HD), try going to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All > Hangouts and tap "Clear Cache" and "Clear Data". Go back, open Hangouts again and it will sign you back in. You may need to verify your number again, but that got rid of the duplicate notifications for my case.
share|improve this answer
This is now fixed in the latest release of Hangouts:
The new version details are below:
UPDATED: June 6, 2013
Google Hangouts

I fixed mine a different way. tried all the above and nothing worked. I figured it was still seeing me as logged into Talk.
Try the following: Uninstall updates for Hangouts. (brings you back to talk) Open Talk and Sign Out. Reinstall update (brings you back to Hangouts)
Fixed it for me.
share|improve this answer
I have no idea if this will work, but you could try and install "Root Uninstaller" and remove Google Talk, and then just install hangouts.
In the app you have the option to back it up, so if something goes wrong you can restore your google talk back.
share|improve this answer
This led me on the right track: I did not use Root Uninstaller, but followed these instructions on the CM wiki to completely remove the system Talk.apk. – Piët Delport May 27 '13 at 13:28
Alas, removing Talk.apk did not solve it after all. – Piët Delport May 29 '13 at 17:41
So you are still looking for a fix on this? – Rat2000 May 30 '13 at 16:51

} | 263 | Google Play Store 4.4 download is available
October 21, 2013
Views: 3
If you’re into side-loading apps, and interested in the new Play Store, this one is for you. Android Police have mirrored the Play Store 4.4 release, and have it available for download. As the story unfolds, not much is known yet, but this is fresh news so we expect to see more as the days go by.
As noted previously, we’ll get the gesture-based menu navigation. Rather than a drop-down, the new Play Store will get the slide-out navigation we see with so many other Google apps like GMail. A welcome change, and it brings the Play Store closer to center in regard to design guidelines.
The newest Play Store also features a lot of the Newsstand language we’ve heard about, as well as the new icon for Newsstand. While this service is not yet available, we look for it to launch on the 24th, when Google is holding their Play Store event in New York City.
Again, it’s all very new and not technically official, but worth a shot if you’re comfortable doing so. Android Police has made it available via a mirror download, so grab it while you can!

The Obama Administration’s North Korea Policy: An Assessment
David Straub, the Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center
Date and Time
February 10, 2012 12:00 PM - 1:15 PM
Open to the public.
RSVP required by 5PM February 07.
In the fourth and final year of the Obama administration's first term, North Korea continues to develop nuclear weapons and long-range missiles. Critics call U.S. policy a "failure." Why did the Obama administration adopt the approach it did? Does the policy have any prospect of eventual success? Is the administration likely to change its approach this year, especially with new leadership in North Korea, or next year, if re-elected? Korean Studies Program associate director David Straub, a former State Department Korea country director, will analyze the people, processes, and parameters of Obama administration policy toward North Korea.
David Straub was named associate director of the Korean Studies Program at the Walter H. Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center on July 1, 2008. Prior to that he was a 2007–08 Pantech Fellow at the Center. An educator and commentator on current Northeast Asian affairs, Straub retired in 2006 from the U.S. Department of State as a senior foreign service officer after a 30-year career focused on Northeast Asian affairs.

St. Louis, MO (KSDK) - St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay is launching the city's first animal cruelty task force to both raise awareness and increase convictions, and hopefully deter future animal abuse.
Mayor Slay, Stray Rescue founder Randy Grim, St. Louis Police Chief Dan Isom, St. Louis Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce were on hand Tuesday to announce the formation of the animal cruelty task force.
The mission of the task force will be to not raise awareness, but to rigorously enforce existing animal abuse and neglect laws and city ordinances, as well as enlisting those who see abuse to report it to authorities.
The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department will dedicate a full-time officer to animal abuse cases to ensure they are handled quickly.
St. Louis Municipal Courts will have a special docket made to cover to animal cruelty cases.
Stray Rescue is creating a class for judges to use during sentencing to educate those found guilty in municipal court.

} | 450 | The New Mexico State softball team picked up a 3-0 win over Louisiana Tech in the quarterfinals round of the 2013 WAC Softball Tournament in Ruston, La.
The Aggies, seeded No. 2 in the double-elimination tournament, will play No. 1 San Jose State on Friday at 2 p.m.
No. 3 Louisiana Tech will play in Friday's consolation bracket, as Thursday's remaining games (No. 6 Texas-Arlington vs. No. 5 Texas-San Antonio; No. 6 Texas State vs. Louisiana Tech) were postponed due to inclement weather.
In their Thursday win, NMSU scored three runs on 10 hits. Senior Amber Olive went 3 for 4 at the plate with an RBI, while sophomore Kelsey Dodd went 3 for 3 at the dish.
Senior starting pitcher Alex Newman threw her 16th complete game of the season (and shutout No. 6 of the year), striking out two while surrendering just three hits on the afternoon.
"I thought Alex did a great job at being herself and staying composed in the circle for us," head coach Kathy Rodolph said. "I am proud of the way everyone played and Amber (Olive) broke things open for us early in the game. Our defense also did a great job keeping runners off base, and .... two double plays were key for us."
The Aggies got on the board early, when the second inning saw Emma Adams double, putting NMSU runners at second and third. Moments later, Olive had an RBI groundout, scoring Alyssa Ruiz and putting the Aggies ahead 1-0.
Ruiz would deliver again in the top of the third as well, recording an RBI base hit that scored Kelsey Dodd, as the Aggies took a 2-0 lead.
The Aggies put a cap on the scoring in the fourth inning, when Malena Padilla was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded, allowing Olive to cross the plate and supply the final margin.

} | 945 | General Motors headquarters in Detroit. / Paul Sancya, AP
The plan the U.S. announced today to sell its remaining 500 million shares of General Motors virtually guarantees a substantial taxpayer loss on the $49.5 billion bailout.
The Treasury Department today said that it will sell all its stock in GM within 12 to 15 months and sell 40% of its stake within weeks, starting with a $5.5 billion deal for GM to buy back 200 million of its shares as soon as next month at $27.50 per share.
The government would have needed about $53 per share for its 26% stake to break even on the bailout. The deal negotiated with GM for the 200 million shares will cut the U.S. stake to 19% but raise the price needed to break even on the remaining 300 million government shares to nearly $70.
GM's agreed-to buyback price of $27.50 per share is a 7.9% premium over Tuesday's closing price of $25.49. The company will record a $400 million charge on its balance sheet in the fourth quarter.
With the deal and other sources -- including funds from GM's IPO and GM loan repayments -- the U.S. has recouped about $28.6 billion of $49.5 billion bailout, according to the Treasury.
The potential loss on the GM bailout is likely to dwarf the estimated $1.3 billion loss the government took on the bankruptcy rescue of Chrysler Group and the transfer to Fiat control. The government has said it wants to balance its desire to get out of the auto business with the desire to recover money for taxpayers.
For GM, this begins finally to unwind the restrictions imposed in the bailout and bankruptcy restructuring. The company can start to shed the stigma of being "government motors," which CFO Dan Ammann told reporters today has caused some buyers to avoid GM products.
Said CEO Dan Akerson in a statement, "This announcement is an important step in bringing closure to the successful auto industry rescue; it further removes the perception of government ownership of GM among customers, and it demonstrates confidence in GM's progress and our future."
"From our point of view, this is very attractive to the company and to shareholders," said Ammann. "It obviously brings some clarity and certainty around the U.S. Treasury exit and the timing of that, which has been a question in the marketplace."
Auto industry analysts had been expecting the Treasury to announce a resolution for its GM shares in early 2013. Some analysts have said a share buyback would be warmly received by the market and attract new investors, who have been scared off by the government's ownership position, to GM shares. At one point, shares were trading at $27.56, up 8%, and above the share buyback price.
The government plans to immediately remove some restrictions it placed on GM as part of the bailout using TARP funds. The company now will be allowed to buy corporate aircraft, for example. But the company will continue to have limits on pay for top executives, which some say has made recruiting more difficult.
The GM and Chrysler bailouts saved more than 1 million jobs, the Center for Automotive Research said in 2010, including both GM and Chrysler workers and employees of the companies' suppliers. The actions also prevented the loss of $96.5 billion of personal income in 2009 and 2010, the Center estimated, and let the government save a combined $28.6 billion by reducing entitlement spending on unemployed workers and collecting taxes on wages of those still working.
"The auto industry rescue helped save more than a million jobs during a severe economic crisis, but TARP was always meant to be a temporary, emergency program. The government should not be in the business of owning stakes in private companies for an indefinite period of time," said Timothy Massad, U.S. Treasury Assistant Secretary for Financial Stability.
Beyond the politics of the bailout, senior analyst Michelle Krebs says its success in rebuilding the company as a business remains to be seen. "There's no doubt that General Motors is in a better position now than it was four or five years ago, and that's all thanks to the government bailout with taxpayer money," said Krebs. "Still, even with GM buying back its shares, it will be years before we can fully assess the success of the auto bailout. The key is to watch and see if the company falls back into old bad habits."
The announcement marks the second time in a week that the Treasury has announced the end of a bailout-related investment made during the financial crisis. Last week, it and the Federal Reserve said they had sold the last of their shares in AIG -- the insurance company that pushed itself to the brink with bad bets on credit derivatives -- and ended up making a $22.7 billion profit on an investment in AIG of $182.3 billion. As recently as 2011, the government owned 92% of AIG.
The Treasury invested another $245 billion to save more than 700 banks during the crisis, and has recovered all of that money, plus an additional $23 billion in profit through repayments, dividends and sales of securities, assistant secretary Timothy Massad said in a blog post Dec. 18. The government has liquidated its stakes in all but 218 banks, the post said.

} | 243 | Ryan Mallett has attempted just four passes in his NFL career. / David Butler II , USA TODAY Sports
Ryan Mallett is headed to Houston for a reunion with coach Bill O'Brien.
The Texans acquired the fourth-year quarterback from the New England Patriots on Sunday, a person with knowledge of the deal confirmed to USA TODAY Sports.
The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because neither team had announced the trade, which was first reported by NFL.com.
Terms weren't disclosed, but it doesn't appear the Patriots got much. ESPN.com reported the Texans gave up a sixth-round draft pick. NFL.com and the Houston Chronicle reported it's a conditional seventh-round pick in 2016.
Mallett, 26, was a third-round pick by the Patriots out of Arkansas in 2011 and spent the past three seasons as Tom Brady's backup. That role now goes to Jimmy Garoppolo, the Patriots' rookie second-round pick from Eastern Illinois.
O'Brien was with the Patriots as an offensive assistant in 2011, Mallett's rookie season. The Texans plan to start veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick this season and used a fourth-round pick in May on Tom Savage.
To make room on the roster, the Texans waived second-year quarterback Case Keenum, who started eight games for them last season.

} | 517 | Kyle Busch (left), who unleashed a vitriolic radio message post-race at Dover, apologized to Toyota on Thursday. / Geoff Burke, Getty
Kyle Busch apologized Thursday for unleashing a stream of invective against Toyota Racing Development after subpar fuel mileage cost him a win at Dover International Speedway.
When he finished seventh after leading 302 of 400 laps, Busch radioed, "Thank you, TRD. (Screwed) us out of another one" and referred to the engine manufacturer with two more vulgarities.
In a statement released jointly by TRD and Joe Gibbs Racing, Busch said his remarks were "very misguided. I owe my friends at Toyota and TRD an apology. We have a great partnership with TRD and they built me a motor that helped me lead over 300 laps and nearly lap the field. It's just frustrating that the caution fell where it did, and suddenly it became a fuel mileage race and we were set up for maximum horsepower. Obviously, that worked well for most of the day and you can't control when the cautions will fall.
Busch, who missed the Chase for the Sprint Cup for the second time in four seasons, has suffered two motor failures among several mechanical breakdowns on his No. 18 Camry this season.
"We understand Kyle's passion for racing -- and winning," said Lee White, president and general manager of TRD. "At TRD and Toyota, we have that same zeal for racing -- and winning. We were disappointed with Kyle's postrace comments from Dover -- a race that he dominated. Kyle's had a frustrating year with several car and engine mechanical failures which were not his responsibility, and we're working extremely hard on our end to improve our products and processes. We will continue to address these issues, but we're ready to put this behind us and move forward with the remainder of the season, including the Toyota drivers battling for the championship."
Said Ed Laukes, vice president of marketing communications and motorsports, Toyota Motor Sales, USA.: "We've had a fabulous relationship with Kyle Busch and Joe Gibbs Racing over the last five years. Kyle is a talented driver who wins races and can compete for championships, and he is a very important part of the Toyota brand. We look forward to a long-term relationship with Kyle and Joe Gibbs Racing for years to come."
NASCAR points leader Brad Keselowski, who has feuded with Busch, playfully wasn't ready to let it go and posted on Twitter: "JGR/Trd statement reminded me of a saying 1 of my teachers used to say, "with friends like this, who needs enemies?"

} | 333 | Man gets 45 years in death of woman, fetus
Shooting was accident, he says
January 05, 2002|By Mitch Martin. Special to the Tribune.
A Cook County judge Friday sentenced a 19-year-old Prospect Heights man to 45 years in prison for killing his girlfriend and her unborn child.
Echoing his October testimony, Roberto Ocampo on Friday said he accidentally shot Angelica Bailon behind a Prospect Heights apartment building where they were arguing over a cell phone and a handgun. He said the 18-year-old victim had been supportive during his frequent run-ins with the law.
"My intention could never have been to hurt the woman who helped me in my downfalls," Ocampo said.
A Cook County jury in October found Ocampo guilty of first-degree murder, intentional homicide of a child and aggravated unlawful use of a weapon.
On Oct. 4, 2000, Ocampo was alone with Bailon when a .25-caliber slug from Ocampo's handgun struck her in the chest, killing her and the fetus. Ocampo said the gun simply went off as Bailon tried to wrest away her cell phone and the handgun in an attempt to keep him out of trouble.
Before sentencing, witnesses detailed a string of Ocampo's offenses. He was on probation and barred from carrying a firearm at the time of the shooting. And he had juvenile offenses for theft, criminal damage to property and three instances of cannabis possession on his record. He received a juvenile sentence for battery and robbery in 1998.
Since the murder, Cook County correctional officers testified Ocampo had received solitary confinement for instigating the beating of other inmates and for possessing three blades.
Assistant State's Atty. James Andreou said Ocampo had admitted to belonging to the Spanish Gangster Disciples since the age of 13. "The main concern is the protection of society. He should not see the light of day," Andreou said.
Defense attorney Michael Goggin told Judge John Scotillo he still believed the shooting was an accident, and that Bailon's mother, Isabel Bahena, had told Goggin she agreed. | http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2002-01-05/news/0201050113_1_cell-phone-unborn-child-handgun | robots: classic

} | 600 | Union tells players: Stay clear of ephedra
March 08, 2003
Making his annual tour of spring training camps, Fehr's visit to Ft. Lauderdale (Fla.) Stadium took on special significance. Bechler, a 23-year-old Orioles pitching prospect, died of heatstroke Feb. 17, and a Florida medical examiner linked the death to ephedra, an herbal supplement used by some athletes to lose weight.
Not so fast
Middle infielder Jesse Garcia is sitting out the first 15 days of the exhibition season because of a rule infraction by the Braves regarding his roster status over the winter.
Under new regulations regarding players eligible for the winter Rule 5 draft, the Braves were penalized for placing Garcia on the 40-man roster (and exempting him from Rule 5 eligibility) and then removing him too soon after the draft was completed.
He remains under the Braves' contractual control but is ineligible to play in the first half of the Grapefruit League season.
Slow starter
David Wells tested his tender left ankle during a bullpen session while New York Yankees' officials pondered whether to discipline him over his autobiography.
Team president Randy Levine conferred with GM Brian Cashman, assistant general manager Jean Afterman and Wells' agent, Gregg Clifton.
The 39-year-old left-hander has been hit hard in two spring starts, and sprained his left ankle Wednesday while trying to avoid a grounder in a 12-2 loss to Atlanta.
Philadelphia Phillies
Catcher Mike Lieberthal missed his 6th straight game with an injury that appears to be hip-related.
Pittsburgh Pirates
Pokey Reese went 0-for-2 with a walk and two strikeouts after missing the first 8 games with a bruised right index finger.
New York Mets
Pitcher Pedro Astacio probably will begin the season on the disabled list with inflammation in his right biceps tendon.
Oakland Athletics
Former Sox outfielder Chris Singleton is expected to miss a few days after reaggravating a right hamstring injury Friday.
New York Yankees
First baseman Jason Giambi missed his 3rd straight game with an abdominal muscle strain, although he hit off a tee.
St. Louis Cardinals
Center fielder Jim Edmonds pulled a calf muscle Friday and will miss at least two weeks.
Minnesota Twins
Dustan Mohr hit a 3-run homer, Justin Morneau added a 2-run drive and Shane Andrews hit a solo shot to beat the Yankees 9-2.
Los Angeles Dodgers
Darren Dreifort pitched pain-free in his 1st start since wrecking his right elbow in June 2001, settling down to throw 3 innings.
Seattle Mariners
Jamie Moyer allowed 2 runs in 5 innings but Seattle had its seven-game winning streak snapped in an 8-5 loss to the Giants.
Colorado Rockies
Starter Scott Elarton threw three scoreless innings and retired his first 8 batters in a 3-0 loss to the Royals.
Houston Astros
Wade Miller gave up 2 hits in 3 innings and Henri Stanley drove in the only run in a 1-0 win over Tampa Bay.
Atlanta Braves
Mike Hampton allowed 2 earned runs in 3 innings but got 10 of the 13 Mets he faced to hit the ball on the ground in a 4-0 loss. | http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2003-03-08/sports/0303080208_1_ephedra-potentially-serious-risks-biceps | robots: classic

} | 496 | Glory for girls of summer
Members of the women's professional baseball league of the 1940s and '50s draw new fans to the `Baseball as America' exhibit at the Field Museum
March 10, 2003|By Joseph Sjostrom, Tribune staff reporter.
Their exploits once relegated to the attic of baseball history, seven members of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League basked in the limelight Sunday at the Field Museum, where a new generation of fans lined up for autographs.
The league folded in 1954 but enjoyed a surge in nostalgic popularity with the 1992 release of "A League of Their Own," starring Geena Davis and Tom Hanks.
"I've seen their movie a million times," gushed Stephanie Genender, a senior at Gavit High School in Hammond and a center fielder on the girls softball team.
"It's so awesome to see women who were able to play professional baseball at a time when all sports was male-dominated," Genender said.
Gavit's varsity softball coach, Dale Ray, and other coaches from the school brought their players to the Field Museum to tour the "Baseball as America" exhibit. They also arranged for the students to meet the players before the two-hour autograph session.
"On Friday we watched the movie and then had a short practice," Ray said. "They were so excited about this that it was mostly a lost day for practice."
Retired from baseball and subsequent careers, the former players enjoyed their role as icons.
They signed baseballs and other items and gave away signed photos. They said they still marvel at the attention they get more than a decade after the movie was released.
"I had put all my scrapbooks and pictures in the back of the closet," said Betty Francis of Chicago, who played for the league's teams in Michigan and Indiana. "Nobody knew about us until the movie came out."
The All-American Girls Professional Baseball League was founded in 1943 by chewing gum magnate and Chicago Cubs owner Philip Wrigley to maintain public interest in the sport while male stars served in the armed forces during World War II.
The one-time players who appeared at the museum Sunday included Terry Donahue of St. Charles, a catcher and utility player for the Peoria Redwings.
Donahue is a fan of the Kane County Cougars, partly because she likes their stadium in Geneva and because the players remind her of her playing days.
"Those kids really hustle, just like we did," she said.
Ange Armato of Rockford played on a team from Kalamazoo, Mich.
"We played baseball because it was so much fun," Armato said. "Making a pro team was just the icing."
The "Baseball as America" exhibit runs through July 20 and includes historic bats, balls, uniforms, photos and other memorabilia. The show was organized by the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, N.Y.
Kate Ebner, 22, brought a commemorative bat bearing the names of several players from the girls league, a Christmas gift from her father.
"I've been playing baseball my whole life," she said "I was so excited I couldn't sleep last night." | http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2003-03-10/news/0303100104_1_girls-league-field-museum-girls-softball-team | robots: classic

} | 451 | Erring on the side of secrecy
June 27, 2004
In a democracy, we take it for granted that the more the people know about the operations of their government, the better. But the Bush administration generally prefers to err on the side of secrecy. There are times when the executive branch requires confidentiality in its internal deliberations. But in its zeal for shielding itself from public scrutiny, the administration has turned a virtue into a vice.
That has been the problem with Vice President Dick Cheney and his energy task force, made up of Cabinet officials and White House aides. Convened in the first few months of the administration, it issued a report with several recommendations favored by the energy industry. But the legislation proposed to put those ideas into operation has yet to win approval from Congress, partly because it has been portrayed as a bundle of special-interest favors.
Critics say that's no surprise, claiming that the report was written largely by lobbyists for companies that stood to gain. Two organizations, the Sierra Club and Judicial Watch, went to court requesting the task force's records. So did the General Accounting Office, a congressional investigative agency. But the vice president refused, and eventually the GAO gave up.
Last week, Cheney won a victory in the remaining case when the Supreme Court overruled a lower court and returned the matter to it for further review. Previously, the suit had been famous mainly for a dispute over whether Justice Antonin Scalia should participate after he took a hunting trip with Cheney.
The two organizations invoked a federal open-records law. It doesn't apply when all the members of a panel are government employees, but the lawsuit argued that industry officials played such a big role in the proceedings that they were effectively members, and that therefore the records had to be opened up. A federal appeals court granted them access to the material to try to verify that claim.
The Supreme Court declined for the moment to make a definitive ruling. Though it refused the administration's request to block any access to the documents, it told the appeals court to reassess the suit while giving more consideration to the need to protect the executive branch from "vexatious litigation that might distract it from the energetic performance of its duties."
That's a legitimate concern, but the administration's sweeping insistence of secrecy goes way too far. Its real goal does not appear to be conserving the valuable time and energy of executive branch officers but protecting them from embarrassing revelations about their ties to corporations like bankrupt Enron. In time, the court may recognize that. In the meantime, this decision only impedes the public's right to know. | http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2004-06-27/news/0406270400_1_supreme-court-appeals-court-energy-industry | robots: classic

} | 231 | Gronkowski becomes highest paid tight end
June 08, 2012|Reuters
New England Patriots tight end became the highest paid tight end in the history of the NFL on Friday.
Gronkowski and the Patriots agreed to a deal worth $55.23 million over six years, including $18.17 million guaranteed. The six-year deal is tacked on to the remaining two years on his rookie contract, which would've expired after the 2013 season.
The deal includes a $10 million bonus in 2016, a team option that comes as Gronkowski approaches his 27th birthday.
The yearly terms of his deal were not available, but a $9 million annual salary would surpass the contract of Seattle tight end Zach Miller, who is set to make $6.8 million in base salary in 2012. San Francisco's Vernon Davis will make $7.117 million in average salary. The Patriots recognized his value to the offense and his unconventional ability.
Gronkowski, who was a second-round pick in 2010, is still scheduled to earn base salaries of$540,000 in 2012 and $575,000 in 2013.
The former University of Arizona lineman was a breakout star last season. He set single-season records for tight ends, with 1,327 receiving yards and 17 touchdowns on 90 receptions.
His ankle injury in the AFC Championship Game last January was a major storyline during the Super Bowl two weeks later. One week after catching two passes for 26 yards in the Super Bowl loss, he had ankle surgery. | http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2012-06-08/sports/sns-rt-fbn-patriots-newssx7c6f5a1-20120608_1_gronkowski-university-of-arizona-lineman-salary | robots: classic

} | 900 | Illinois a major stage in battle for U.S. House
GOP lawmakers vow to keep their edge in state
August 30, 2012|By Rick Pearson, Chicago Tribune reporter

TAMPA, Fla. — — With Illinois expected to do little to help Mitt Romney's chances against home-state President Barack Obama, Republicans are looking at the consolation prize of keeping a slew of congressional seats they won two years ago.
Illinois is a significant battleground for control of the U.S. House as Democrats try to reverse an 11-8 Republican advantage in the state with the goal of returning House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California to the speaker's chair. Democrats need to capture 25 seats.
On Wednesday, Republican House Speaker John Boehner told the Illinois GOP that the state's Democrats did a lot of "overreaching" when drawing up the new congressional boundaries.
"They went wild with the new districts in Illinois," said Boehner, an 11-term congressman from Ohio. "You know, in the Midwest, we've got a little saying that some of you will recall: Pigs get fat; hogs get slaughtered."
Boehner said the new map presents "some real opportunities" but also has resulted in "some tough races." He threw out some red meat to his audience.
"I'll promise you this: The only way (Pelosi) is going to get that gavel back is to pry it out of my cold stone hands," Boehner said.
Illinois lost a House seat after the census. In drawing the new 18 districts, Democrats were forced to confront a population loss of 200,000 people from Chicago. As a result, they stretched city districts far out into more traditional Republican areas in the suburbs.
But Republicans maintain there is discontent with Obama outside the more populated Chicago area, enhanced by a poor economy. While an Obama win of Illinois is near certain, it is in the areas of discontent with the president that congressional races can be won or lost.
Rep. Judy Biggert of Hinsdale, who made her first visit to the Illinois delegation Wednesday, has found herself the most significantly affected by the Democratic mapmakers. Biggert's home was mapped into a new upside-down L-shaped district with Democratic Rep. Mike Quigley, stretching from the city's North Side lakefront, west to O'Hare International Airport and south through DuPage County. Her current district was divided into six districts.
"The (Democrats) said they want to streak through Illinois so they could have (some) of what they need to take the U.S. House of Representatives," said Biggert, who is now running against former Democratic Rep. Bill Foster in the new 11th Congressional District in the west and southwest suburbs. "We decided that's not going to happen."
Also targeted by Democrats were freshman Reps. Joe Walsh of McHenry, Robert Dold of Kenilworth and Bobby Shilling of downstate Colona. All three opted against coming to Tampa, instead campaigning back in their new districts.
One Republican incumbent is out already: Veteran Rep. Don Manzullo of Egan was defeated by Republican freshman Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Manteno in the March primary. Kinzinger had been mapped into a new South Side and suburban district with Democratic Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.
Rep. Aaron Schock, the Peoria Republican whose election in 2008 made him the nation's youngest congressman at age 27, called the Democratic map "the worst of politics" and said it symbolized a "legislature picking their constituents as opposed to the constituents picking their congressman." Schock, a national surrogate for the Romney campaign, also is a potential future candidate for governor, and he has worked to raise money for the state's targeted GOP congressmen.
Schock said he's already held one fundraising event for Dold, who is running against Democrat Brad Schneider in the North Shore 10th District, and has plans to bus Peoria-area volunteers into the district to go door to door. He said he's also planning a similar event for Biggert. He also held one event for Walsh, a tea party icon running against Democrat Tammy Duckworth in the new northwest suburban 8th District.
The battle between Walsh and Duckworth may be one of the most highly watched congressional races in the nation. Duckworth, a disabled Iraq War veteran who lost a 2006 bid against Rep. Peter Roskam of Wheaton, is backed by U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Mayor Rahm Emanuel, and served as an assistant secretary of veterans affairs in the Obama White House.
For his part, Walsh has made several controversial comments, ranging from questioning whether real war heroes discuss their service to warning of a threat from radical Islam in the northwest suburbs. Walsh has defended his remarks, in part by saying he will not bow to political correctness.
Schock said Walsh should be re-elected over Duckworth largely for two reasons — to keep Pelosi from gaining a vote for speaker and because the Republican has "done a good job working hard representing that district."
Asked how voters should weigh some of Walsh's controversial statements in evaluating the race, Schock contended that Duckworth's support for Obama's signature health care plan and other administration proposals was "outrageous as well."
"While some may not agree with Joe Walsh's rhetoric," Schock said, "I think his stand on policy is far superior to Tammy Duckworth."

} | 890 | Romney's revelation
An entitlement discussion veers into us and them
September 19, 2012
• Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney boards his campaign plane Tuesday in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Political fundraising events tend toward the partisan vibe of campaign rallies — you'll never hear a candidate praise "my worthy opponent and the wise voters who support him." But it's mighty unusual for a politician speaking at a fundraiser to dismiss half of all Americans as dependent on government, unwilling to take responsibility for their lives and impervious to his message. Yet that's what Mitt Romney did during a private May reception in Florida.
According to a surreptitious recording released Monday by Mother Jones magazine, Romney told the donors why he would focus on attracting unaligned voters rather than backers of President Barack Obama:
"There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. That — that's an entitlement. And (they think) the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what. ... These are people who pay no income tax.
We don't presume to judge whether Romney, who describes his remarks as "speaking off the cuff in response to a question," was giving voice to elitist condescension in his heart or merely playing to the crowd. We do, though, know that many voters worry about the temperament, the inclusiveness and the personal generosity of a potential president. By those measures, Romney's May remarks don't help him or America.
Ours is a nation riven with political and policy dissension. Hence the label above this series of occasional editorials about the 2012 presidential campaign: A Nation Divided. We as citizens, but also as neighbors, need to come together. Comments that clinically disparage half of our populace damage the likelihood that we'll move beyond bickering and finger-pointing to agreed-upon, workable solutions.
We stipulate that among the most vexing of the electorate's divisions is what to do about entitlement spending that the U.S. cannot sustain. Over the past half-century, entitlement transfers to individuals — even when adjusted for inflation and population growth — have grown by 727 percent, according to political economist Nicholas Eberstadt of the American Enterprise Institute.
Census Bureau statistics from mid-2011, cited Tuesday by The Wall Street Journal, reflect 49 percent of Americans living in households where at least one member receives a government benefit. That's up from 30 percent in the 1980s, and 44.4 percent in mid-2008.
For these reasons, our editorials about federal deficits and debt push lawmakers of both major parties to make their spending, with emphasis on entitlement programs, conform to revenues.
Separately, the Tax Policy Center calculates that 46.4 percent of U.S. households did not pay federal income tax in 2011, although many of those households — some 28 percent of the total — did contribute payroll taxes toward Social Security or Medicare benefits.
But it's impossible for Romney to generalize from those numbers to conclude that all recipients of government checks consider themselves victims, or believe the government owes them "you-name-it," or refuse to take responsibility for their lives. Millions of hardworking Americans — many of whom receive federal nutrition, health or rent assistance — prove Romney wrong every day that they go to their jobs.
In the past we've urged readers not to overreact to any one statement from a politician. If any good comes from this, it's that voters now have two major-party candidates who know the perils of a supposedly private conversation that someone secretly records. Recall candidate Obama, in the spring of 2008, at a fundraiser in San Francisco:
Obama soon apologized, more or less, saying, "If I worded things in a way that made people offended, I deeply regret that." Romney, at a Monday night news conference, didn't apologize but, like Obama four years ago, also didn't retract his words: "It's not elegantly stated, let me put it that way," he said, adding that "it's a message which I'm going to carry and continue to carry — which is look, the president's approach is attractive to people who are not paying taxes because frankly my discussion about lowering taxes isn't as attractive to them, and therefore I'm not likely to draw them into my campaign as effectively as those who are in the middle."
That's not, though, how Romney put it in May. He instead revealed a willingness to define his fellow Americans as us and them. That characterization will hurt some of those Americans. And it is no way to heal a nation divided. | http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2012-09-19/opinion/ct-edit-romney-20120919_1_mitt-romney-entitlement-population-growth | robots: classic

NEWPORT NEWS – Gathered on a carpet in the middle of the classroom one recent Tuesday, first-graders watched their teacher Whitney Andrews demonstrate on a large pad of paper how to write reports.
Andrews asked her students facts about bats to get them started writing.
"When do they hunt?" she asked 16 wiggly, but attentive 6-and-7-year-olds.
"At night," they answered in unison.
Andrews nodded, "They gather their food at night because their competition is still what?"
"Sleeping," they answered.
The Newsome Park Elementary students spent the month of January researching animals in groups of four. Students picked sharks, lions, cats and snakes and gathered information using books and the Internet.
They will use the facts to write about the animals' sleeping habits, physical features and what they eat.
When they're finished writing, they will learn to use Power Point to create final projects they will present to the class.

FCC Eyes an Index for Media Mergers
The formula would be designed to measure the diversity of voices in a local market.
February 10, 2003|Edmund Sanders | Times Staff Writer
WASHINGTON — Deep inside the halls of the Federal Communications Commission, a search is on for The Formula.
It is not a recipe for next-generation fiber optics or a way to stretch the broadcast spectrum. Rather, the elusive calculation, being pursued by a handful of FCC economists, is a simple mathematical solution to one of the agency's most perplexing philosophical debates:
When it comes to media mergers, how big is too big?
As part of an ongoing review of the FCC's media-ownership rules, Chairman Michael K. Powell is offering a reward to the first FCC economist who can bring him an objective scientific formula that will accurately measure the diversity of media voices in a local market. A former antitrust attorney, Powell says he wants something akin to the widely accepted index used by the Justice Department when reviewing whether mergers create a monopoly.
Now, the race is on.
If Powell prevails -- and it's by no means clear that he will -- he could move toward transforming a rancorous legal and social debate that has preoccupied generations of FCC commissions into a simple, neat algebraic equation that is blind to political interpretations and consistently applied. Simply drop in a few numbers based upon the specifics of a local market and let the index tell you whether diversity is strong or weak.
The very idea is quintessential Powell, who has never been comfortable with vague concepts or loose definitions. He once famously called the FCC's public-interest standard an "empty vessel" into which politicians can pour their preconceived notions. As a commissioner, he tried -- without success -- to convince colleagues to embrace a set of guidelines to narrowly define the weighty but subjective standard.
Now the chairman is seeking to bring a similar order and predictability to the concept of diversity, an issue that lies at the heart of the media-ownership debate.
"The chairman has challenged everyone in this process to base the rationale for the rules on empirical evidence and data versus intuition, personal opinion and taste," said Susan Eid, Powell's legal advisor for media issues. "If we could create a diversity index, it would be something that would survive time so that every other commission doesn't have to go through the same intensive fact-gathering process that we are."
Eid and other FCC officials declined to comment on the specifics of a possible formula or just what the reward might be for the clever economist who creates it.
But Powell hinted recently that the agency has "some interesting work going on" to develop a diversity index, based upon data collected from 12 FCC-commissioned studies.
Many are nevertheless skeptical, questioning whether a calculator will ever be the proper tool to determine how big media companies can grow, who can control what Americans see on television or how the public is informed.
"This isn't something that can be figured out to the tenth of a decimal point," said actor Richard Masur, a former Screen Actors Guild president.
Powell has said the quest for a diversity index was born out of a string of FCC defeats in federal court, which remanded many of the agency's media-ownership rules and ordered the FCC to stop relying on hunch and opinion and come up with some evidence to justify its regulations.
Powell is betting that a scientific formula -- designed to factor in the varying size of local markets, the number and type of media outlets available, and common ownership of different outlets by the same company -- will have the same appeal to the courts that it has to him.
Courts have long held that fostering a diversity of viewpoints and local voices in the media is crucial to the health of the nation's democracy. These judicial decrees form the basis upon which the FCC is empowered to enforce its ownership rules. The rules generally prevent the same company from dominating a local market by owning too many TV stations or controlling both a newspaper and a TV station. (Tribune Co., owner of the Los Angeles Times and KTLA-Channel 5, is fighting to overturn the rules.)
The concept of a cold calculation is based upon the Herfindahl-Hirschman index, or HHI, a long-accepted measure of market concentration that the Justice Department uses to evaluate the potential harm of proposed mergers. The index is based on work performed more than 50 years ago by Orris Herfindahl, a respected environmental economist who died while trekking through Nepal in 1972, and Albert O. Hirschman, a member of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton University.

} | 943 | NBA's Age Limit Is Developing Situation
June 23, 2005|Robyn Norwood | Times Staff Writer
A new day is dawning in basketball, but nobody can tell what it looks like yet.
"I went to bed last night not knowing exactly what the rule was," North Carolina Coach Roy Williams said Wednesday.
The NBA plan to essentially raise the minimum age by one year, to 19, as part of a new collective-bargaining agreement could make the one-and-done college player commonplace, turn prep schools into fifth-year stopovers for high school players, introduce young superstars to the previously inconsequential NBA development league or send 18-year-olds job-hunting overseas.
Or not.
For now, everyone is guessing.
"Prep school is going to be the next big thing," said Antonio Fozard, coach at Mount Zion Christian Academy in Durham, N.C., where Tracy McGrady played his senior season before turning pro.
"Those who qualify and are eligible will probably go to college. If you're not eligible, you'll see a lot of kids go to prep school."
Others believe the rule will be a boon to the NBDL, where players will earn perhaps $24,000 -- plus whatever they can get from agents and endorsements based on their NBA future.
"I think in three or four years you'll see on the cover of Sports Illustrated an NBDL kid," said David Kahn, the former general manager of the Indiana Pacers and leader of a group of investors who bought four NBDL expansion teams in Fort Worth and Austin, Texas, Tulsa, Okla., and Albuquerque.
Kahn envisions a minor-league system that resembles baseball's, where fans can catch a rising star and players can grow up a little on and off the court -- particularly those who don't want to go to college or don't have the option.
"I hope it doesn't sound at all pejorative, but certain kids don't have interest in college -- and again, not to be pejorative, but a lot have attended college who did not belong in college but knew it was a necessary step to a pro career," Kahn said.
Or, as Fozard sees it: "When you get into college life, you have the NCAA, a lot of rules and regulations, do's and can't do's. Some high school players would rather go to prep school."
The new age limit was a big topic of discussion Wednesday at a camp at the University of Virginia that featured many of the top high school players in the nation.
Taylor King, who will be a junior at Mater Dei next season, has problems with the rule.
"I think it's unfair to players who are good enough," he said.
Many college coaches worry about college becoming a whistle stop, but Williams -- who lost Rashad McCants, Raymond Felton, Sean May and freshman Marvin Williams early to the NBA draft from this year's NCAA championship team -- said in some cases it already is.
He changed his recruiting philosophy years ago: He already tries to recruit a mix of the most talented players and those he believes will stay four years.
One of Williams' worries is the academic attitude one-year players might adopt.
"I can't have anybody lounging in the dorm room second semester thinking this is a minor league farm system," Williams said.
"There's no question it's something to be concerned about," he said. "I'm going to look in the eyes of every player, every mom and dad and say, 'I don't care if you're here one, two, three or four years, when you're here you'll be expected to be very serious about academics.'
"I have no problem holding a guy out of a game, whether it's the national championship game or any game."
Interestingly, one reason not to go to college for a year could be the possibility it would undermine a player's draft status.
"College exposes a lot of kids," Fozard said. "I have had some high school players who might have been first round but chose to go to college."
Against stronger competition, the difference between seeming potential and actual ability becomes clear.
Martin Iti, a much-traveled former Mount Zion player who once was considered an NBA prospect, was a disappointment at North Carolina Charlotte and recently transferred to New Mexico State. He is long since off the NBA radar.
Williams considers the possibility a player will recognize how much he needs to improve to play in the NBA one of the positives of the rule change.
Overall, he called the NBA decision "window-dressing."
"What bothers me is there's almost a stigma if a rising senior is still in college, like, 'What's wrong with him?' " he said. "Now they just moved it down to sophomores."
But it's out of his hands.
"I'm not one of the guys speaking of the legions of doom. It hit us hard this year, but each individual did what's best for them," Williams said.
"I'm not pie in the sky. ... The NBA, that's not their job to try to help college basketball. They did the best for their game."
Times staff writer Eric Sondheimer contributed to this report.

For Iowa caucuses, GOP volunteer Joni Scotter is highly sought after
Since 1996, Joni Scotter has been addicted to presidential politics at the Iowa caucuses, going all out to support her candidate.
January 12, 2011|By Mark Z. Barabak, Los Angeles Times
"It's a very retail process," said Eric Woolson, a veteran GOP strategist. "Having someone you know and trust call up and say, 'Hey, this is someone you should support,' is probably going to have a bigger impact on people than all those TV commercials."
Just about 120,000 Republicans are expected to caucus, and Scotter seems determined to meet and befriend every single one.
At a December meeting of the Linn County GOP she was a compact cyclone: smiling, hugging and photographing each of the 40-plus people in attendance — a small gift, she explained, to pass out later. "You look awesome!" she assured a man in a purple dress shirt, ignoring his scowl.
For years, the Iowa Republican Party has been split between social and economic conservatives, but Scotter has avoided the rift, building bridges to candidates and partisans on both sides. Asked her particular brand of Republicanism, her response was telling: "I'm a worker."
Lamar Alexander changed Scotter's life.
In early 1996, she received a postcard inviting her to a women's Republican lunch in Cedar Rapids. The speaker was Honey Alexander, wife of the former Tennessee governor and presidential hopeful.
Scotter's sons were grown, leaving her plenty of spare time. Her interest in lunch was purely social, but Scotter liked what Alexander said about her husband. So she volunteered and worked "like a bat out of heck," making phone calls, hanging yard signs, knocking on doors, handing out campaign literature, baking cookies — peanut butter with four kinds of chocolate chips — and cheerleading at rallies.
Alexander finished third in Iowa and lost the Republican nomination. But by then Scotter was addicted; she loved the camaraderie of campaigning, the sense of dealing with big and important issues, and the feeling of being in the know.
"When you're making phone calls, when you're going door-to-door, you can really, really feel the way an election's going," she said, and as a volunteer she has no compunction sharing that information with her candidate. "You're not working for a paycheck, so you can say, 'We're losing our butts,' and have no problem doing that."
Somewhere along the way, Scotter became a die-hard Republican, sold on the gospel of lower taxes and less government. She signed on with one candidate and then another, gaining confidence with each campaign and growing more politically savvy. In 2000, when Alexander ran a second time, she dispensed with sentimentality and supported former Vice President Dan Quayle until he quit the race, then backed George W. Bush. "I didn't think Lamar could win," Scotter said.
Her views mix fiscal conservatism and social moderation. She opposes the death penalty and abortion, but wouldn't outlaw the procedure. "Whatever anybody has to do they gotta do and I will not judge them," she said.
She struggles with the question of same-sex marriage, which she opposes. But she also believes gay couples should have many of the privileges, like visiting a hospitalized loved one, that married couples enjoy. "I am so scared for gay people, because there's so much anger in this country," she said.
Naturally, issues are important as Scotter picks a presidential candidate. Whomever she supports must pledge to repeal President Obama's healthcare plan, slash the federal deficit and rein in Social Security and Medicare.
But just as important, Scotter will rely on her gut; does a candidate seem honest, caring and willing to listen? Arizona Sen. John McCain, the 2008 GOP nominee, is unquestionably a good man, Scotter said, but acts so important "he moves past people." Gingrich is more attuned to what others say. Romney "is a really good listener."
She backed him in 2008, but won't commit again, despite overtures from his camp. "It's early," Scotter said, and someone else might "sweep me off my feet."
In April, Scotter will celebrate 50 years of marriage. She met her husband at a dance soon after turning 18 and was married less than a year later.
Richard Scotter, a fellow Republican, encourages his wife's passion for politics, to a point. Their home in suburban Cedar Rapids is decorated with quilts and some of the compensation from years of campaign effort: photos with Marilyn Quayle and Rudolph W. Giuliani, handwritten notes from Bush and Karl Rove. (A 16-foot "Bush-Quayle" banner stays under the bed because, Scotter's husband insists, it's too big to hang. But she has been known to lug it around to show off.)
Richard, now retired, is building a small plane, a two-seat Zodiac, and Joni can hardly wait. Then, she said happily, she can cover even more ground, promoting the Republican cause and chasing would-be presidents across Iowa, instead of the other way around.

} | 336 | Bradley Manning's trial delayed for more pretrial proceedings
December 02, 2012|By Matt Pearce
Army Pfc. Bradley Manning steps out of a security vehicle as he is escorted… (Patrick Semansky / Associated…)
Pfc. Bradley Manning's trial on whether he gave a treasure trove of classified documents to WikiLeaks has been delayed about a month, a military judge said Sunday.
The delay is intended to allow more time for pretrial proceedings, which continued Sunday with more testimony after the announcement.
The military judge in the case, Col. Denise Lind, announced the delay at a pretrial hearing at Ft. Meade, outside Washington, the Associated Press reported. Manning's trial, which had been set to begin Feb. 4, will be pushed back to mid-March.
Manning, a former intelligence analyst in Baghdad in 2009 and 2010, stands accused of sending hundreds of thousands of logs about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and more than 250,000 diplomatic cables to WikiLeaks, the semi-defunct anti-secrecy activism group.
The viability of the military's case against Manning could pivot on whether its treatment of him during a nine-month solitary confinement at a 48-square-foot brig cell in Quantico, Va., constituted illegal punishment.
Manning was stripped of his clothing, forced to sleep naked for several nights and required to stand naked at attention one morning, conditions that a United Nations investigator called cruel, inhuman and degrading, but stopped short of calling torture.
Prosecutors said Manning was a suicide risk, which Manning acknowledged during testimony last week after prosecutors confronted him with a noose, and argued he was in need of protection from self-harm or harming others.
Manning's attorneys said the treatment constituted illegal punishment. The defense presented two psychiatrists who said the brig commander kept Manning in close confinement despite their recommendations.

} | 649 | Expansion gains dance following
L.A.'s electronic dance music scene has discovered the monthly Expansion event at the remote Hummingbird Nest Ranch, and find the upscale resort adds a posh touch to a psychedelic experience.
March 23, 2012|By Nate Jackson, Special to the Los Angeles Times
• Good music moves the crowd to dance at Expansion, a monthly dance and art night at Hummingbird Nest Ranch.
Good music moves the crowd to dance at Expansion, a monthly dance and art… (Colin Young-Wolff / For…)
L.A. club-goers have to do a little extra work to find Expansion. First, unless you're a die-hard of the local electronic dance music scene, you might not know it exists. Then there's a 40-minute drive out of L.A. to the quiet mountains of Simi Valley, and a few extra minutes creeping up a valley of winding roads to a mansion resort that's hardly well known.
Over the last year at remote Hummingbird Nest Ranch, a resort tucked into the cactus-strewn Santa Susana Mountains, the monthly Expansion event has gained cachet with DJs and fans. Hosting venerated beatmakers including Daedelus, DJ Nobody and the Gaslamp Killer, it's also a unique venue where some of the titans of the Low End Theory club nights in Lincoln Heights step out a world away.
"You see the art world and the club world intersect sometimes in L.A.," said Maggie Lucero, 21, of North Hollywood, a first timer to Expansion. "But rarely do you see that in a fancy location like this. I guess that's why I made the drive."
On a recent Saturday night, hundreds of headlights snaked through the desert to park in a giant grass field on Hummingbird's 123-acre property. By nightfall, the multimillion-dollar mansion where Expansion takes place becomes a bass-hemorrhaging, neon-lighted fantasia overrun by costumed fire breathers, acrobats, live artists and dancing throngs. Combining a posh location and a somewhat spiritualized, Burning Man-type spectacle, Expansion offers a psychedelic experience where it's OK to wear a cocktail dress. The next event happens Saturday.
Local promoter and Expansion co-founder Orlando Padilla stumbled onto the ranch last year at the suggestion of a lighting vendor who had worked on a wedding there. The wind-swept views and Spanish cobblestone seemed like an unusual place for Padilla's original vision of Expansion, catering to the underground hip-hop and drum-and-bass scenes, but he and his partners Lewis Kunstler and Hummingbird manager Craig Bennett plunged in.
"We took everything we thought was hot in electronic music and just put it together," said Padilla, 33.
Strolling nonchalantly through a recent Expansion night in a green tracksuit and beanie, Padilla doesn't really draw attention. If the party were any bigger, like most of the ones he throws, no one would ever see him. The chief executive of Pasadena-based Project Sweatshop and Fresh Entertainment, Padilla is behind other massive EDM events like Fresh Fest and Fresh Daze, usually drawing a couple thousand people. Expansion is a considerably smaller party accommodating about 700 guests. Many of them are workers in the club industry — be they artists, promoters or club managers — on a night off from work.
George Ybarra, a.k.a. DJ Curious, spun at Expansion three times but recently came off duty from East L.A. to hang out.
"I've been through the underground hip-hop and dance music scene," said Ybarra, 36. "And this is one of the more comfortable environments for adults to get away."
Eventually, Padilla said he'd like to throw a festival-sized version of Expansion on par with some of his bigger parties. But after eight months of consecutive shows, this relatively new gem in night life culture continues to get better, not necessarily bigger.
"We could always try to throw something big and become a commodity, but what we have in store for people who come here is we want it to be more of a membership type of event as opposed to people just showing up," Padilla said.

The Phillies' Darin Ruf entered the 2012 season as the No. 20 prospect… (Howard Smith, US PRESSWIRE )
October 22, 2012|Mandy Housenick
They had no way of knowing what they would be asked.
Without hesitation, Jordan and Noworyta mentioned Darin Ruf's name first.
Although Ruf, Asche and Hernandez stood out, they weren't the only Phillies minor leaguers who got the attention of Noworyta and Jordan.
TYSON GILLIES: He's been hindered by injuries throughout his minor league career, but is expected to be the IronPigs center fielder in 2013. Things were going well for him in Venezuela until he suffered a hamstring strain, but said on his Twitter account that he hopes to return to action Wednesday. In his first four games in the VWL, he hit .467 (7-for-15) with a double, a triple, two RBIs, and had a 1.222 OPS. "We thought it was important for him to play every night and in front of crowds," Jordan said.
TOMMY JOSEPH: One of two quality prospects the Phillies have behind the plate. The 21-year-old, who the Phillies acquired in the Hunter Pence trade in July, came into 2012 ranked as San Francisco's fifth-best prospect according to After hitting .257 with 24 home runs and 11 home runs in Double-A this year, Joseph was assigned to the AFL, where he's batting only .125 (2-for-16) in five games.

} | 632 | A Cook-off At Bcc Serves Up Some History That Tastes Good
Posted: March 04, 1990
While Black History Month traditionally focuses on events designed to inspire the soul and mind, students and staff at Burlington County College had something else in mind to wrap up February's black history activities at the school's main campus in Pemberton.
What they had was an event designed to stick to the ribs. As in collard greens, ham hocks and black-eyed peas, chitterlings, pork barbecue, Southern- style potato salad, smothered chicken, cornbread and sweet potato pie.
Whether you call it soul food or black cuisine, it's cooking "no one can resist," said Bruce Munson, a judge in the school's annual soul food cook-off and a member of the Black History Month Planning Committee, which sponsored the event. "It's food everyone can enjoy."
The soul food cook-off gave everyone a taste of black culture and the chance for those who entered to win a dinner for two and tuition for three
college credits.
"This is more than just a competition or tasting experience," said Joan Forcet, director of the college's Creations Art Gallery and a member of the planning committee. "We want people to know that black history is made up of many things, including food."
Winning first place were black-eyed peas with neck bone prepared by Mount Holly resident Derrick Hannah, a student studying information systems.
Although he said black-eyed peas are his favorites, "I'm no cook. My mother deserves the credit."
The second-place winner was Eunice Lamson of Pemberton Township, an employee at the college bookstore who prepared ham hocks and black-eyed peas.
"I don't call it soul food," said Lamson, who has entered the contest every year for the last three years. "I just call it plain home cooking."
Although he won no prize, Claude Henderson's cornbread muffins disappeared before he had a chance to sample any of them.
"My roommates and I got together and decided to make something," Henderson, a student at the school, said while judges sampled the entries. ''We figured cornbread would be easiest to make."
The students all do their own cooking in an apartment near campus, with the only prerequisite being how long it takes to prepare a recipe, Henderson said.
"I like things that are easy to cook because I don't like to wait for my food," he said.
Soul food is eaten by black families throughout the year, but on New Year's Day it takes on special meaning, Munson said. Eating black-eyed peas on New Year's Day is a tradition among many black families, one that is supposed to ensure good luck. Eating collard greens will guarantee that a wad of money will come your way soon, he said.
Now called soul food or black cuisine, the foods are marked by distinctive spices and, frequently, hot sauce. One staple is pork, whether it be pigs' feet, ham hocks (the knee joint) or the small intestines of the pigs, which are known as chitterlings.
The cuisine had its beginnings as leftover food unwanted by plantation owners, said Forcet, who called soul food "the cheapest dishes poor people could make." Black families managed to scrape together what foods they could find to survive.
"But it's a mistake to say only black families ate this food," Forcet said. "This was the food eaten by poor blacks and whites."
As he tasted Lamson's black-eyed peas and pronounced them "almost as good as the ones my mother makes," Munson reflected on the success of monthlong activities celebrating Black History Month at the college.
"I think this cook-off is a good indication of what has happened all month," he said. "People of all races and different backgrounds have gotten involved with Black History Month, and that's a good sign because this is a celebration for everyone, not just a month of events by and for blacks."

} | 738 | Barkley's No. 34 Will Be Retired In March
Posted: January 06, 2001
Pat Croce says that Charles Barkley "is the Lenny Bruce of athletics," and that Barkley would be perfect as the host of late-night TV's "Politically Incorrect."
Croce, the 76ers' president, says it with a joy in his voice, with a passion for the former Sixers star unswayed by the controversy that so often surrounded Barkley in his eight seasons in Philadelphia.
The Sixers will retire Barkley's No. 34 jersey March 30 at halftime of the scheduled game against Golden State. That banner will join those of former players Hal Greer, Billy Cunningham, Bobby Jones, Julius Erving, Wilt Chamberlain and Maurice Cheeks, and legendary public-address announcer Dave Zinkoff.
He will meet the media earlier that day at a luncheon at the First Union Center that will be open to the public. The price of admission hasn't been determined, but proceeds will go to Sixers Charities.
Barkley's only request of senior vice president Dave Coskey was that his wife, daughter, mother and grandmother be included.
"Charles was outrageous and outlandish with some of the things he said, crossed all barriers, the way Bruce did," Croce said. "But I'm proud and happy that he's doing this in Philadelphia. He left an indelible imprint on the franchise, was fun to be around, fun to watch, fun to know."
Barkley arrived from Auburn as the Sixers' first-round draft choice in 1984, described by the late, great super scout Jack McMahon as the first player of his dimensions (6-47/8, anywhere from 250- to 300-plus pounds) who would become a superstar in the NBA. He spent the first eight of his 16 seasons with the Sixers, representing them six times in the All-Star Game, scoring 14,184 regular-season points, fourth in the history of the franchise. He then played four seasons each for Phoenix and Houston, retiring last season after appearing in just 20 games.
In a touch of irony, he suffered a severe knee injury in his final appearance in Philadelphia with the Rockets, but - as only he could - still convened an entertaining, sometimes uproarious postgame press conference.
He averaged 23.3 points and 11.6 rebounds in 610 regular-season games as a Sixer, 22.4 points, 13.1 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 51 playoff games. He produced 10 of the Sixers' 19 triple-doubles since 1979-80.
"I hated seeing him in another jersey," said Croce, the strength and conditioning coach for most of Barkley's time as a Sixer, and has since become part owner of the team.
Croce hates seeing Barkley weighing his current 337 pounds as a Turner Broadcasting analyst, more than 40 above his playing weight, but has seen Barkley balloon upward before. Croce has seen the crash diets, too.
"In the early days, it was everything but pulling teeth to get him to do anything but play ball," Croce recalled. "But when he did, you saw the grace, speed, agility and talent that made him special. I kept telling him that if he did the other things, weight-training, conditioning, he could be a great, great player for a long time."
Barkley did it anyway, helping the United States win Olympic gold medals in 1992 and 1996, becoming the All-Star Most Valuable Player in 1991, the league's MVP in 1993 and being named one of the 50 greatest players in league history. In 1986-87, he became the shortest player in modern history to win a rebounding title.
"I wish he could come back and play a year for us," Sixers coach Larry Brown said, laughing, "but he's a little too big."
Barkley wore a Sixers jacket during the 1996 ceremony in Cleveland commemorating the league's 50th anniversary.
"My years in Philadelphia were very special to me," Barkley said in a statement. "Now, to have my jersey retired, hung next to some of the greatest players of all time - Wilt Chamberlain, Julius Erving, Maurice Cheeks - I consider this an incredible honor."
Barkley campaigned to leave the Sixers after the '91-92 season, dissatisified with management during the stewardship of then-owner Harold Katz. He was traded to the Suns for Jeff Hornacek, Tim Perry and Andrew Lang.
"Time heals all wounds," said Coskey, a close friend of Barkley. "When he looks back now, he considers Philadelphia a special place. "It's where he started his career, where he still maintains a home. It's a place he refers to all the time, a place where he has a lot of friends. The people running the team now are all his friends."

Wing Up, The latest Game To Come out From Vietnam.
There have been a huge amount of Flappy Bird clones to pop up ever since the simple, yet addictive game had set record charts across the globe. However there have been some innovation on the original concept from Dong Nguyen’s dotGEARS with games such as Freaking Math or Mr.Flap, most games have stayed on course of the original ”creature goes through pipes” gameplay. And after the hype of 2048, some developers have even tried to combine the two successful hits.
Even so, new games continue to launch out of Vietnam. Games such as School Cheater, 1Path, Chien, Binh, Sky Garden, and more have shown that Vietnam has a strong gaming community.Vietnam’s capital Hanoi is the main home to Dong Nguyen, and its where many well established Vietnamese mobile gaming studios have decided to take residence. Only a few steps of separation exist between some of the founders of these games and Flappy Bird own creator.
And as of recently a new comer has decided to join the field with their game called Wing Up, an Android and iOS game that’s been inspired by Flappy Bird and Nintendo. Wing Up arrived from a developer by the name of Tung Hoang, also based out on Hanoi.
Lists of Basic.
Wing Up shares the same very keys principles of mobile gaming that Flappy Bird had also employed. A bunch of the more simpler mobile games that tend to come out these days follow the same footprints so its worth point thing out:
• Singular level: This makes it so that the game is compressed to the most basic action, can you do it or not? It also allows it to be far easier to pass the mobile to someone else so they can play it too.
• Very easy to replay: One of the key things dotGEARS did was make it so easy to restart Flappy Bird. Although it was frustrating when the bird died, restarting was instant. This also made it easy to spend hours on a game that took less than a minute to play.
• Simplified retro graphics: Flappy Bird is certainly not a pioneer of retro games on mobile. Long before Flappy Bird hit the scene, many mobile games used old-school graphics. This is a motif that all the clones and admirers have taken on.
• Mobile ads: Especially for Vietnamese developers, one of the biggest lessons from the success of Flappy Bird is that there is some serious money to be made on mobile ads. After all, Dong Nguyen was reporting making over $50,000 a day from Flappy Bird.
Each of these key features can be easily found on Wing Up, which put its own spin on a bird flying through space.

What tool can I use to see if a hard drive supports Sata3 (6Gb/s)
share|improve this question

The SATA 3 interface has been out since 2009 so it is likely most new hard drives support it.
I would use Disk Utility to inspect the drive and it will tell you what model it is then you can get the specs from the manufacturers website.
The issue will be with the motherboard - if it is a older model the chipset may not support the transfer rate.
Disk Utility
There is a good article for reference of the SATA standard on Wikipedia.

Actually Disk Utility does not say anywhere what Sata is supported in the drive (would be cool though). That is why I put the hdparm command. – Luis Alvarado Feb 15 '12 at 16:46
Maybe something like this sudo hdparm -I /dev/sda.
Forgot that hdparm had the option to see Sata1, Sata2, Sata3, NQC and more. But a gui tool would be much better.
This would show what technologies the drive supports (assuming it is the sda): sudo hdparm -I /dev/sda| grep '*'

I have some troubles installing python2.7 on ubuntu 10.10 I ran sudo apt-get install python2.7(*) but when I try to run an example program I get the
~/Downloads% python2.7
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
import pygtk ImportError: No module named pygtk
error messages, so what's the best way to install python and its modules?

It looks like there are a few broken or missing things regarding pygtk with Python2.7 under Maverick (pygobject-dev maybe).
Unless you really need Python2.7, you will save yourself a lot of stress using the Python2.6 version of pygtk included in Maverick.

I've been using the GNOME classic desktop environment for Ubuntu 12.04 for a while now, and after installing conky, I've realized that the taskbars make it look cluttered. Are there any tweaking programs that can hide/remove/change the top or bottom taskbar, or a different desktop enviorment overall?
I've tried openbox and XMonad, but I could never configure it right, so a more easily-configured environment would be nice, or just the GNOME manipulator.
(NOTE: I've tried gnome-tweak, not extensive enough)

Is there a way to force 4:3 screen resolution/scale to 16:9? I wanna be able to run 1024x768 in a 16:9 scale(fullscreen) on my notebook. So far its only 1366x768 that is scaling to 16:9.
I have a Intel® Sandybridge Mobile graphic card. Tried to use CompizConfig with no luck. I'm running Ubuntu 13.10 with GNOME desktop.

Graphic card is what controls the screen resolution, not CompizConfig. ComplizConfig only is able to access to "already configurated installation". So it sounds like you need to update your graphic card driver as Intel has just released the driver updates specifically for Ubuntu last summer.

In Oneiric and later releases openssl is built with sslv2 disabled due to known security flaws with that version of the protocol.
Since node v0.4.9 the configure script can detect if sslv2 is enabled or not and take the correct action (commit f23c45f7f461).
The other option is to disable ssl when you build node.

} | 830 | Orbital Decay of X-ray Binaries
Black hole X-ray binaries are a class of binary stars in which one of the stars is a several solar mass black hole and the other is a main sequence star. The main sequence star is overflowing and is transferring mass to the black hole, forming an accretion disk. Accretion causes these systems to be extremely bright in the X-ray portion of the spectrum. In fact, that is how many of these systems are discovered in the first place.
One of the common methods used to study binary systems is to measure their orbital period variations over a few years. There are many theories to explain possible causes of the period variations. To investigate these period changes, astronomers construct O-C diagrams. They first calculate the time when the binary is expected to be at a specific position in its orbit. The expected time is called the ephemeris and the position in its orbit is called the orbital phase. From this, they can calculate (the C) future predictions. Wait some time, see what you observe (the O), and you can measure how the system has changed. The difference between the observed and calculated phases are often very small, on the order of seconds at most. Which might sound small, but is in fact a big difference!
In today’s paper, the authors investigate the orbital decay of two black hole X-ray binaries. Combined with previous data, they were able to measure how fast the orbit is decaying and make predictions about the exact cause of this orbital decay. These systems are some of the best to look for this orbital decay because of their extreme masses compared to other systems. By obtaining spectra to create a radial velocity curve, the authors were able to add an additional O-C point with a larger baseline than before. This larger baseline is important because it allows time for small changes to build up, as we will see shortly.
Figure 1: The top shows the O-C for the black hole x-ray binary XTEJ1118+480. However, it is shown as a phase shift, which just shows the deviation in phase instead of the actual O-C points. The purple point furthest to the right is the new measurement from this paper. The bottom shows the residuals from the best fit curve to the data presented at top.
Figure 1 shows the O-C diagram for one of the systems this paper studied. The top shows the shift in the orbital phase compared to the previously measured ephemeris. The negative numbers mean that the same orbital phases are occurring earlier than they are expected. So the orbital period is now shorter than it was previously. The data now span ~11 years.
The best fit to these data shows this system changes its period by -1.9 ms per year. The other system studied in this paper has a period change of -0.6 ms per year. Theory states that the expected orbital period change from magnetic braking or mass loss would be -0.02 ms per year. Gravitational radiation would be expected to contribute only -0.01 ms per year. Now you see why you need a large baseline and careful time measurements to detect this phenomena. This changes are extremely small! Both of these systems have orbital decays that are faster than expected.
The authors then hypothesize why these systems are decaying faster than expected. They first suggest that strong magnetic fields in the main sequence star could help explain this. Previous measurements found magnetic field strengths of a few kG in both systems, which is on the high end of what is expected, but not unreasonable. Magnetic braking is an effect in which magnetic fields slow down the orbit. In this case, the stronger magnetic fields would enhance the effect of magnetic braking beyond what is typically calculated. Another possibility is that the Applegate Mechanism can explain this effect. The Applegate Mechanism says that magnetic activity cycles can lead to period variations, but not orbital decay. First proposed in 1992, the Applegate Mechanism has successfully explained period variations in numerous systems. In relation to this system, the baseline for measurements is not yet long enough to definitively say whether or not the period variations can be explained by the Applegate Mechanism.
Future measurements of these two systems are certainly needed to provide greater constraints on the exact orbital decay rate. Over the course of a decade, the differences in the measurements are still very tiny. It is remarkable astronomers are able to measure these differences at all. To distinguish between possible explanations, astronomers need still more time to let these differences build up.

} | 621 | Lab Notebook Guidelines
The following are guidelines describing how to keep a proper lab notebook for my physics courses. When done properly, it will be a record of all the information needed to successfully complete an experiment, whether it is a "plug and chug" lab or a full lab report. Since you are students, I've included sections to help you organize your thoughts (e.g. "Prelab Notes") that might not appear in a real research notebook. Keeping a notebook represents very little additional work since it is mostly comprised of things that you should be doing anyway before handing in a lab (e.g. like NOT giving me the first version of your calculations).
What follows below are the printed criteria from my syllabus. Then, there are a few INTERACTIVE sample notebook pages, including one that amounts to a rant about things I shouldn't see.
To provide a formal, organized work space/log in which one can record data and work through the calculations of an experiment. It will help you organize your thoughts and retain useful information.
The pages should be fastened securely, so the laboratory notebook should not be spiral-bound or perforated. A string-bound composition notebook is a good example of an acceptable notebook.
1. Write in blue or black ink that won’t bleed through the page. Neatly cross out mistakes. No white out! Do not rip pages out!
2. “X” out white space and blank pages.
3. The inside cover should have information such as your name, email, address, home phone number, instructor, etc. This will ensure that the notebook and all the data that you have worked so hard to obtain will always find its way back to you.
4. The third page is where you should start a table of contents. Update this as necessary.
5. Number the pages as you go, using both sides of each page.
6. The first experiment should start on about the 5th page.
7. Keep the notebook in chronological order. (I.e., record the data as it comes.) DO NOT leave space for things and filling them in later.
8. If you miss a lab, you must still write the title and date of the experiment at the appropriate point in the notebook and table of contents, noting that you were absent.
9. You may use the last several pages for reference. Write universal constants, equations, and reminders that you find frequently useful.
10. Show your lab notebook to the instructor before leaving lab!
For each experiment:
Title, Date, Lab Partners, etc.
Lecture Notes
Record any diagrams, mathematical derivations and procedural notes given by the instructor. The purpose of the experiment should be prominently displayed first. Everything mentioned in the prelab discussion should be here.
• All data you take goes here first!!! Data must be taken directly into the laboratory notebook as you acquire it. The laboratory report is a final draft only. I reserve the right to deduct points if you are not taking data directly into the notebook. I mean it!
• Attempt all calculations in the notebook first. You do not have to write every individual calculation, but your format must make it clear where the numbers come from. Don’t forget to record slopes!
• Your results should stand out!
Remember: Data is taken directly into the lab notebook. Your first attempts at calculations are also written there. You don't have to write everything twice, but make sure your calculations are correct in the notebook before attempting to fill in the lab report. If you are observed not using your lab notebook, a penalty of 10 points off your lab grade will result!

Free Music Alert: Big Bullet Records – What’s Love Got To Do With It?
Big Bullet Records is a favorite here at A Truer Sound, they are a fairly new record label out of northern West Virginia, and they always have something interesting worth checking out. Here we have a free valentines day compilation (I know, I know it’s over a fucking week late…..but it’s still good).
Now this is not typical “alt-country/americana” fare but I love Big Bullet Records and there is bound to be some crossover on some of this stuff. I mean I know some of you guys are into the punk stuff and who doesn’t like a good cover song anyway?
Highlights on here include Greg Loftus’ version of Nirvana’s “Molly’s Lips”, a listenable version of the titanic theme song by a band called The Goddamn Hills that sounds like it could be a Ryan Adams outtake, and thestripped down exile-on-mainstreet-esque version of “I Just Want To Make Love To You” by The Demon Beat and Dandelion Snow.

Visit to Davis -- offers nostalgia and new delights
Our Bay Area Travel Writers group recently met at the Mondavi Institute for Food and Wine on the UC Davis campus. It had been years since I had spent any time in Davis, CA (other than to stop for excellent beer and German sausages* at Sudwerk Brewery, which is just off I-80).
My memories of this college town are pleasant--mostly from going a couple of times to the UC Davis "Picnic Day" that is held in April. It's indeed a fun event for the whole family. UC Davis is known for its excellent programs in animal husbandry, agriculture, and veterinary medicine, and the annual Picnic Day reflects that heritage with farm animal exhibits as well as with entertaining dog races (and this year at least, a cockroach race.). There is, of course, much more happening on campus, click here to see upcoming events.
So, I eagerly anticipated my return visit to Davis--and I was not disappointed. Davis retains its small town vibe, but also is on the forefront of Farm to Fork Movement.Our day's activities were hosted by the Yolo County Visitors Bureau and we began with a brief business meeting in the new Robert Mondavi Institute for Food and Wine on the UC campus.
We had a taste testing of extra virgin olive oils. We tried to detect off-flavors--including rancidity. From Dan Flynn, Executive Director of the Olive Center, we learned that 69% of the imported olive oils researchers tested did not meet international accepted standards for extra virgin olive oil. This compares to 10% of U.S. olive oils failing the test.
Flynn said that extra virgin olive oil is generally more expensive to buy than other grades of olive oil because it is more expensive to produce. U.S. olive oil producers face huge challenges when competing with foreign exporters who can flood the market with cheap oils that may also be subsidized and subject to very low tariffs.
The U.S. is the world's third-largest consumer of olive oil. Flynn hopes that the test results will "lead to improved methods for evaluating extra virgin olive oil," and also to greater assurance that what is labeled as "extra virgin" is indeed that tasty product.
Our next stops in the Mondavi Institute were to look into the labs where viticulture, beer, human milk, and tomato "pilot" plants are currently being studied. As a side note, we learned that producing beer, and cleaning the tanks, requires a tremendous amount of water. Much of that water is currently used for irrigation, but studies to reduce usage are also underway.
At lunchtime we wandered through the weekly Saturday Farmers Market in the downtown plaza. There were many tasty choices--either prepared foods such as "naanwiches," tamales, or corndogs, or fresh fruit, veggies, and breads to sample. Perfect weather allowed for eating al fresco.
After our lunch, we strolled next door where we were given a tour of the intriguing U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame. Their unique collection of bicycles included many from the 19th century as well as jerseys and bikes from award winning bicyclists of the 20th. Virtual tour, click here.
Our visit concluded, we made our way back to campus and enjoyed one last treat--the Bakuhatsu Taiko Dan were practicing in the Mondavi parking lot. Check their website to see the schedules for practices and performances.
Yolo County's largest city, Davis, CA, is definitely worth an extended visit. Besides all of the attractions described above, there is much art to enjoy. Go to the Second Friday Art About (free) in the downtown to visit art galleries and hear some music. You'll find plenty of places to get a bit of food and wine. Or next time you are in town, you can take the Davis Transmedia Art Walk. Many of the public art works throughout town have RFID chips installed (the first in the country). You use the scanner on your cell phone and follow the chips as you walk though the downtown and the UC campus to learn more about the installations, artists, and to provide feedback. Sample, map, and more, click here.
*Sudwerk's menu has changed substantially. They now offer a wider selection of food--everything from hamburgers to Cajun Jambalaya to Santa Fe Chicken sandwiches. Perhaps this attracts diners wanting more choices, but it has lost its unique appeal.

Great article, thank you for including the Davis Transmedia Art Walk.

Kristi, I am definitely going to do the Transmedia Art Walk the next time we are up that way. It sounds like a great way to see the art, Davis, and get a bit of exercise! | http://backpack45.blogspot.com/2013/05/visit-to-davis-offers-nostalgia-and-new.html | robots: classic

The forgotten rainbow of loneliness
The sand is as deadly as the mother of grief far beyond the rock coiling within a comforting garden.
Now it is as black as eyes!
And why are those thoughts as sensual as those cold persecutors..?
Before Man they were magyckal.
Why indeed do I know their saint clutching at a familiar thunderbolt?
My teacher roams , yet still people disintegrate falling beneath their terrifying saint.
Why do I struggle yearning after an explosion?
The explosion dreaming of a vicious storm behind the dragon resists my spasm, thunderously.
In this world of ours they are as hostile as my razors.
Seethe falling beneath their cold storm, twirl!
Have the flaming hordes attacked those wings?
In the modern world she is shattered.

The undivided helpless dream
Why do I laugh, unseeingly?
Long ago they were grim , yet in this world of ours it is as long-lost as my familiar mountains.
In the modern world he is black.
For what reason are my ravings dream-ish?
My saints accept the lonely werebeast behind the figure of heartache, soundlessly nevermore.
Mourn searching for their lost victim at last!

A misunderstood warrior
In my childhood I was hostile!
In the days of yore you were as orgasmic as my spasm -- but in the world to come they are as long-lost as their sea.
Did I already laugh soundlessly, lustfully?
Has an all-knowing skull danced with their reptiles?
Their waterfall searching for a totemic dream is sunken!
I fear my sky dreaming of a sinuous rainbow.
I mourn.
Wherefore do I reclaim their garden clutching at an eternal wasteland, as smilingly as their spasm?
I seethe far beyond the agony...
You resist the avenging shaman.
Did I once seethe, appallingly?
A shaman of peacefulness attacks me!
Why indeed do I plot cowering before their dust lying upon the stillness?
The desert of stillness is coiling within their temple.
You plot through the loneliness.

A bat coiling within an uncaring sky
Have the chaotic wounds opposed my flames?
A victim calls to their mountain flowing from a lost warrior.
The vampire in the dragon of revulsion seethes , a priest seethes.
Mourn piteously, die hopefully!
My waterfall of stillness reclaim s me.
The storm beside the explosion is scratching at their storm of abandonment...
Before Man she was made whole , though still in the modern world you are unknown.
My thorn stretching beyond an unknown wasteland resembles the sister of grief.
Their figure resembles me.
My dream of contentment is coiling within their victim of agony.
Knives discover a thunderbolt, fitfully no longer.
Their authoritarian riches crawl, fitfully so soon.
The lonely worlds roam.
Did I already oppose my werebeast..?
Why, why are comforting seeds werebeast-like?

Flowing from their forbidding snowflakes
I revere the sea in the desolate meadow.
My rainbow roams , the city stamping on a lonely rainbow disintegrates...
Did I so soon disintegrate in the stillness?
Seethe, run!
My King flowing from an orgasmic poison stands , my all-knowing serpent drifts.

Reaching above their saints
Why do I stand..?
The razor far beyond the explosion is stamping on the King far beyond the temple towering above a lonely dream.
Why do I laugh in the contentment?
Long ago he was soft , though still in the modern world you are as long-lost as the hostile ravings...
In my childhood it was as primitive as the thunderbolt of heartache beyond the desolate shaman , yet still at last he is as primitive as the familiar dragon bursting forth from the systolic dust.

Lying upon my fireflies
Those bombs weep.
A cruel shaman forgets me.
A razor of vengeance is healer-ish.
Their female sister is looming above the waterfall beside the rainbow of righteousness.
The warrior bursting forth from a totemic bat flutters , the skull stamping on a cold mirage beyond the hill flutters.
The priestess coiling within an eternal razor far beyond the vampire rages...
You forget my flaming razor!
Have those claws destroyed their all-knowing houses?
Did I so soon fear my sensual teacher?
A werebeast of bitterness seethes , a victim lying upon an eternal werebeast laughs.
My warrior endures , yet still their enchantments laugh!
My brother loves a razor stretching beneath a primitive Queen, lovingly.
All-knowing houses love their waterfall so recently...
I crawl, vainly.
Long ago you were terrifying.

California Moss
Volume containing autograph manuscript records of shipments made by an unidentified carrier in California.

} | 113 | I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings
Author: Maya Angelou
Reviewer's Age: Grade 10
I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou is an excellent novel that everyone should read. It has a tone that installs pity into the reader for Marguerite, who has a tough life living with her grandparents then alternating between her two separated parents. Most of the events in the story I have not seen in my own life, though I could picture the story in my mind with detail, and feel the same feelings as the characters. It was great to read about something that seemed unreal to me, although I know the story is true. | http://belmont.lib.ma.us/component/content/article/8-nonfiction-and-plays/181-i-know-why-the-caged-bird-sings | robots: classic

Big Cat Attacks
The following is a partial listing (754) of incidents in the U.S. involving captive exotic cats since 1990. The U.S. incidents have resulted in the deaths of 23 humans, 16 adults and 5 children, the additional mauling of 258 more adults and children, 273 escapes, the killing of 146 big cats, and 133 confiscations. There have also been 280 big cat incidents outside the U.S. that have resulted in the deaths of 96 humans and the mauling of 150 humans by captive big cats. These figures only represent the headlines that Big Cat Rescue has been able to track. Because there is no reporting agency that keeps such records the actual numbers are certainly much higher.

Before working in zoo, she completed a BSc at Auckland University.
Sept 16, 2015 Warsaw, Poland: A police spokesman says a tiger has fatally wounded a keeper at a zoo in Wroclaw, southwestern Poland. Rynkiewicz said the rare Sumatran tiger attacked the man during routine cleaning of the animal’s run. Prosecutors are investigating the accident. TVN24 said the man had 20 years of experience in taking care of predators at the zoo.
Sept 8, 2015 Suzhuo, China: A lioness was hit by a car and then shot 20 times by police after escaping a local circus.
Sept 6, 2015 Indianapolis, IN: The Indianapolis Zoo issued a Code Red after a cheetah escaped from its enclosure. The cheetah somehow got onto the “beaver bridge” and managed to escape its enclosure. Zoo officials said the cheetah was one of two new brothers that came to the zoo from San Diego a week ago.
Sept 4, 2015 Hemet, CA: A 3 month old tiger was found wandering the streets of Hemet, CA before being turned in to the Ramona Humane Society for care. The 25-pound cub was found declawed and will need surgery to remove a hernia from his abdomen. It has been illegal to declaw big cats in the U.S. since 2006. He has been sent to Lions, Tigers & Bears in Alpine, CA.
Aug 17, 2015 Detroit, MI: Animals of Montana brought an adult tiger, bobcats and wolves to the abandoned Packard Plant for a photo shoot. When the tiger escaped handlers instructed the film crew to chase it downstairs using a weedwhacker and a tarp. City officials claimed they had no idea that wild animals would be brought to the site, much less set free.
Aug 14, 2015 Morganton, NC: Tyra, a Serval, went missing in the White Street/Valdese Avenue area of Morganton. Owner Jon Freed is afraid someone will mistake his 45-pound cat for a cheetah. Freed recently moved from Fort Mill, South Carolina, to Morganton, NC. Tyra escaped from Freed’s screened-in porch. This is yet one more reason why we need a federal ban on exotic cat possession.
Jun 14, 2015 Georgia Russia: Tigers, lions, a hippopotamus and other animals escaped from the zoo in Georgia’s capital after heavy flooding destroyed their enclosures, prompting authorities to warn residents in Tbilisi to say inside Sunday. At least 12 people have been killed in the disaster, including three zoo workers. One lost his arm to a tiger last month.
Jun 1, 2015 Johannesburg, SA: Katherine Chappell, 29, a visual effects artist for Game of Thrones, was killed and her tour guide seriously injured in an attack by a lioness at the Lion Park near Lanseria. The two people were travelling in the car with their windows open. It’s understood a lioness jumped through the open window, biting the woman who was in the passenger seat. The driver, a tour guide, was badly injured while attempting to free the woman from the animal’s grasp. The park’s Scott Simpson said, “There was a car driving to the lion camp and the lioness came through the window and it bit the tourist. The ambulance arrived quite soon but the lady has passed away.” Three months ago an Australian tourist was bitten in the thigh while driving though the park, also with his window down.
Jun 2, 2015 Alor Gajah, Malaysia: The body of the 38-year-old animal keeper named Herman who was mauled to death by a tiger at a popular resort has been sent back to his country of origin. District police chief Superintendent Muhammad Ismail Muhammad Yusof said “In classifying the case as sudden death we have closed the case and the victim, who was single, has been sent back to Indonesia.” He went on to say, “It could be that the caretaker had taken his relationship with the tiger for granted since he had been handling the tiger for the past eight years, including bathing and feeding it.”
May 27, 2015 Russia: Doctors had to amputate one arm on a woman who was attacked by a tiger in Tbilisi Zoo. The victim, Guliko Chitadze, is a 25 year veteran of the zoo. She was in the caretaker area at the time of the incident, while the tiger was inside the cage. She was taken to the hospital and according to the doctors she is in a serious condition, and her legs may have to be amputated. Tbilisi Zoo was opened in 1927 and currently holds 300 species of animals, including white tiger, white lion, African wild dogs, elephants and penguins. There are also fishes and reptiles. (The very fact that they are exhibiting white tigers and white lions would seem to indicate they are just a roadside zoo.
May 24, 2015 Tiger Temple, Thailand: The abbot of the province’s renowned “Tiger Temple” is in hospital after he was mauled by one of the scores of tigers that have made the monastery world famous. The monk said he was walking Hern Fa, a male Bengal tiger aged about seven or eight, on the temple’s ground. The abbot had raised the tiger from a young age and loved it very much. Suddenly Hern Fa attacked the 64 year old monk. It mauled his face and shoulder. The Department of National Park, Wildlife and Plant Conservation (DNP) first announced the seizure of 10 tigers kept at the temple about a decade ago because the temple had no permit to keep them. However, officials then asked the temple to help take care of the animals instead of taking them back. Department chief Nipon Chotiban said he did not know why the authorities wanted the temple to take care of the tigers. The number of tigers has since increased from 10 to 146. The department recently wanted the temple to hand them over, saying it had no permits to keep them. But Luangta Chan and his disciples are fiercely opposed to the removal of the tigers and other wildlife from the temple. The 146 tigers and their future offspring are state property and could remain at the temple on the condition that it must seek a legal permit to operate a zoo. The temple must not exploit the tigers and use legal ways to generate income to feed the animals.
May 17, 2015 China: A lion was shot dead after it killed one of its keepers and escaped at the Taian Tiger Mountain Park in Shandong. Authorities said the 65-year-old keeper was cleaning the enclosure when the lion bit him on his shoulders and neck. He died later from his injuries. The lion was on the loose in the zoo for more than an hour before it was shot dead by police. The spokesman said they cornered the lion by a wall within the zoo grounds, and shot it dead to “ensure the safety of park visitors”.
Apr 30, 2015 OKC, OK: A 4-year-old Sumatran tiger named Lola got out of her enclosure at the Oklahoma City Zoo. Officials said they issued a “Code Red,” alerting zoo staff to the situation. In a statement, they said: “In keeping with the Zoo’s safety protocol, the public was ushered out of the Cat Forest area and Zoo-wide announcements were made to inform guests of the situation. The veterinary team immobilized the animal at approximately 2:02 p.m. to extricate her from the space between the exhibits and transport her to the tiger holding building. The veterinary staff is monitoring her condition and she continues to recover well from the immobilization. The emergency alert was cleared by 2:25 p.m. and the Zoo resumed normal operations.” Visitors to the zoo told CBS “We ran, we were weren’t really thinking about anything, we were just going, we were just running out. It was just pretty – pretty intense,” said Dean Smith.
Apr 29, 2015 London, England: A man was mauled to death by lions after jumping into the lions’ enclosure at the East London zoo. Buffalo City Metro spokesman Thandy Matebese said “According to the CCTV footage‚ the man entered the zoo this morning at around 9am. He paid the entrance fee and proceeded into the zoo premises. He was alone and did not display any signs of being emotional or distressed. We suspect that he used the corner of the security wall and the fence of the lion’s enclosure to climb up and jumped over the fence. His corpse was discovered around 10am when it was time to feed the lions.”
Apr 15, 2015 Seattle, WA: A 6-month-old lion cub walked out of its exhibit through an open door April 15, the same day handlers moved elephants Bamboo and Chai to the Oklahoma City Zoo. The cub roamed the service area in the feline building for about an hour before being returned to his exhibit. The escape fuels the ongoing legal battle surrounding the elephants. It was used as evidence of a pattern of unsafe handling in a complaint filed Monday by a group that wants Bamboo and Chai moved to a sanctuary instead of another zoo.
Apr 1, 2015 Lion Park, South Africa: Only two days after an Australian tourist was bitten by a lion at the Lion Park in Honeydew, Joburg, a 13-year-old boy was attacked by a cheetah. The boy who lives in an informal settlement close by, had been riding his bicycle when the incident happened. Park manager, Scott Simpson said that the boy had cut through a wire fence and took a short cut through the park. Two game guides rushed to assist him, but the cheetah managed to bite him twice before they reached him. Even though cheetahs are known to be the most docile of the big cats, often found in petting pens at wildlife experience centres, their natural instincts to chase after moving prey may kick in in these sorts of situations. Two days before this incident, Brendan Smith from Australia had been attacked by a lion. He had opened his window while driving through the Lion Park.
Mar 27, 2015 China, Yichun city, Jiangxi: A zookeeper, named Gong, was attacked by a tiger at the zoo. Employees rushed to drive the tiger away and injected it with anesthetic, while paramedics carried out the badly mauled body. Despite immediate medical treatment, the keeper was later pronounced dead. Reports from the scene indicate that after the tiger was fed that morning, someone at the zoo forgot to close the door separating the enclosure from the feeding area.
Mar 9, 2015 India, Bannerghata National Park: With more than 50 bite wounds and scratches, doctors are keeping a close watch on the animal keeper, who continued to remain critical a day after he was mauled by a lion. Krishna (38) was with four others in the holding house at the lion safari when the big cat slipped through an open squeeze cage and pounced on him. “He has at least 20 deep wounds, and nearly 40 scratches. The surgery on the deep wounds is scheduled for Thursday. As it is an animal bite, there is a high chance of infection that can spread to the muscles causing gangrene,” said A.N. Venkatesh, Head of the Department of Emergency at Apollo Hospitals on Bannerghata Road. Nakula (4), the 200-kg lion that had attacked his keeper continued to remain in its pride of ten.
Feb 15, 2015 Monterey: A stunned Miguel Martinez, 32, got home from work and discovered a lion in his front yard, trying to get into his house with his young daughter. He saw the big cat lying under a bush outside his front door as he pulled into his driveway, assuming it was a toy – until it started growling. Fearing his children would be attacked, Mr Martinez sat in his Audi and called police, who arrived and humanely trapped the seven-month old beast. A 19-year-old pregnant neighbour, Maria Fernanda Martinez, who had named him Simba after receiving him as a gift for getting pregnant.
Feb. 12, 2015 Seoul, South Korea: An zoo keeper died after apparently being attacked by two lions at a zoo in South Korea’s capital, officials said. A colleague found the keeper, 52-year-old Kim Geun-bae, unconscious and bleeding heavily from his neck and legs in the animals’ enclosure, as a male and female lion wandered near him, according to Seoul Children’s Grand Park official Jisun Lee. Kim was pronounced dead at a hospital about two hours later, she said. There were no witnesses or visitors at the time of the attack because the zoo has been closed since last week to prevent the spread of avian flu, Lee said. The park said Kim had 20 years’ experience as an animal keeper and had been working with dangerous animals such as lions, tigers and leopards for the past three years.
Feb. 9, 2015 Egypt: Faten El-Helw was in the middle of her routine, dancing and waving to the crowds during the circus performance in Egypt, when the lion attacked. The crowd of adults and children can be heard screaming and the music stops as her fellow performers rush to her rescue. El-Helw comes from a long line of lion tamers – many of whom have suffered similar attacks. Her late husband Ibrahim reportedly died from his injuries after being attacked by a lion in 2004, while relative Mohamed El-Helw was mauled and died during the 1980s.
Feb. 2015 Johannesburg, SA: ‘I’m 15 years old and have survived mauling by lions in a cage which was opened by the ranger,’ Neha Sharma wrote. ‘The lions were as tall as me and attacked my head… I could hear lions teeth crunching on my head and biting my arms and chest. While I was passing out I could hear mum and dad screaming for help.’ Dr Sharma recalled ‘My wife and I were yelling, kept asking the Park Ranger to help Neha but he remained on the ground. He just left my daughter and didn’t move once. So I thought he was dead.’ Dr Sharma said he could hear his daughter screaming out for him as he watched the lion bite her head, arms and legs. Neha then became unconscious when the lion bit her on her chest. ‘I felt so helpless. That moment felt like hell to me. No one was around to help and I thought I was going to be left with nothing,’ Dr Sharma said. ‘So at that point, I remember thinking that I had to fight the lion myself knowing that I was going to die. I knew if I went in, I would be killed but that would be better than watching my daughter get eaten alive.’ But Neha extraordinarily regained consciousness at that moment, stood up and ran straight towards the cage gate where her father opened it and let her out.
Dec 25, 2014 Kuala Lampur, Malaysia: The Malayan tiger escaped the Taiping Zoo when maintenance work was being carried out by new workers.

The tiger was found in the forest and was shot with a tranquiliser dart again and was recaptured.
Dec 11, 2014 Kuwait City: A Filipina woman died two days after she was attacked by a lion inside a house in Sulaibikhat. According to security sources, the medical report indicated that the housemaid was bitten by the lion inside her employer’s house where the owner allegedly raises wild animals. During interrogations, the sponsor denied raising a lion in his house. A case has been registered and further investigations in this regard are ongoing.
Dec 7, 2014: Barcelona, Spain: A 45 year old man, with a history of odd behavior, leaped into the lion’s cage at the Barcelona Zoo, and was mauled by 3 lions.

Dec 3, 2014: Buckhead, GA: A Siberian Lynx attacked his caregiver while his owner, Fred Boyajian, was out of town. The person was reportedly bitten on the head at the 3000 block of Paces Ferry Road NW. Police say the woman was bitten on her head and had cuts on her arms and back. She was treated at the hospital. David Laws, the primary caregiver for the cats tried to downplay the event, but the 911 call was pretty terrifying. The owner has 9 cats, including 4 Siberian Lynxes, one Canada lynx, and 3 other cats of comparable size. Channel 2’s Carl Willis went to the neighborhood, where neighbors said it isn’t the first incident involving the large cats. Neighbors are nervous as it’s still not clear how the animal was able to attack a person hired to feed them. They say it doesn’t help matters that one of the large cats has gotten loose in the neighborhood before. Aerial footage from NewsChopper2 showed a large cat pacing in its cage at a home in Buckhead. It was moments after police say a Siberian Lynx bit someone. Police found the victim bleeding heavily from her head. DNR says the owner is permitted to breed the animals on the property. In 2004, another lynx, belonging to the same owner, got loose. A 50-pound lynx was spotted near a home on Beechwood Hills Court. “Because I don’t think any of us really know how they’re being contained and if one of them was to get out and bite someone in my family or anyone else, it’d be pretty terrifying,” a neighbor said.
Oct. 31, 2014 China, Chongqing, Xinhua: A circus tiger killed an 8 year old girl in southwestern Chongqing Municipality. She slipped into an closed animal training site of a circus in Leheledu Amusement Park and died in the hospital after serious injuries. The circus is hired by the Leheledu Amusement Park for performances. A spokesman from the park said they have reached initial agreement on settling the incident with the victim’s family.
Oct. 21, 2014 Thailand: Phuket’s Tiger Kingdom closed its Big Cat enclosure after a 15-month-old tiger attacked Australian tourist Paul Goudie, 49, biting his both legs and stomach. Bangkok Post reported that Mr Goudie has undergone surgery and has more operations scheduled. The incident happened while Mr Goudie was walking around in an area where visitors are allowed to touch and take photos with the big cats. The adult tigers are reportedly chained and drugged so that visitors can cuddle up to them and take photographs. Tiger Kingdom has closed Big Cat enclosure temporarily, though visitors can still visit cages containing smaller tigers, reported Phuket Wan.
Oct. 10, 2014 Little Rock, AR: A three-year-old boy was mauled when he fell from the railing above the jaguar pit at the Little Rock Zoo. According to the police report, the boy’s grandfather placed the toddler on the railing to view the two jaguars. His father Andrew Garber was taking pictures of the cats when he says he saw the boy fall in his peripheral view. The boy fell four-and-a-half meters, or about 15 feet, into the jaguar pit.

The toddler suffered a fractured skull, scalp lacerations and minor puncture wounds both during the fall and jaguar attack.
Oct 9, 2014 St. Paul, MN: Brian Casey Phillips climbed over the guardrail at the Como Zoo and was apparently yelling at the cougars in the exhibit and pushing on the cage wall when he apparently was scratched by one of the cougars. He was cited for disturbing zoo animals and released at the scene.
Oct. 6, 2014 Jupiter, FL: A construction worker lost his thumb after being bitten by a tiger at Zoological Wildlife Foundation (a ZAA member) owned by a convicted felon and suspected drug kingpin, Mario Tabraue. Visitors to the zoo are encouraged to interact with the animals in the vast collection, which includes an alligator, different types of monkeys, birds, two different kinds of anteater, a fox and other exotic creatures.
In December 1987, the Associated Press reported that Tabraue was arrested as part of a sting operation targeting a drug-trafficking ring that killed an informant and dismembered his body while smuggling in a half-million pounds of marijuana. During the trial, witnesses recounted how Tabraue and an associate allegedly carved up the corpse of federal informant Larry Nash with a circular saw, dumped it in a horse trough and set it alight. Tabraue’s drug-smuggling operation allegedly imported 500,000 of tons of pot and more than 200lbs of cocaine from Colombia, earning him $75million in profit.
Now Tabraue funds Frank Vitello, a lobbyist to thwart the Big Cats & Public Safety Act which would put an end to the private collection of big cats.
Sept 22, 2014 Delhi Zoo: A white tiger attacked and killed a 20-year-old man named Maksood who apparently slipped and fell 18 feet into a dry moat at the Delhi zoo. Some say he was sitting on the enclosure, others say the barricade was too low and he fell in. A witness said he raced to the tiger enclosure after hearing screams, to see the man locked in the tiger’s jaws, “writhing badly in pain”.
“We saw some kids throwing in small sticks and stones inside the tiger enclosure. Then we saw that a white tiger had gripped a man by his neck. No one helped him,” said Himanshu, a visitor. Witnesses say the man suffered for an agonizing 10-15 minutes before dying.
“The tiger didn’t attack at first, till stones were thrown at it. I saw the man folding his hands before the tiger, who kept looking at first. The man tried to run away but the tiger swiped at him, wounding his neck. Then it carried him away by the head,” said Bittu, a witness who filmed the horrific incident on his mobile phone.
August 24, 2014 Rietfontein, Johannesburg, S. Africa: A circus worker sustained severe bite wounds and lacerations to his neck and chest, Netcare 911 spokesman Chris Botha said in a statement. The tiger escaped from its enclosure early on Sunday morning. The man was taken to hospital. Botha could provide no further details on the attack. Nor could he provide the name of the circus, which he said was on Beyers Naude Drive.
August 23, 2014 Dallas, TX: A 35 year old senior zookeeper is recovering after being attacked by a lion at the Dallas zoo. “We had an unfortunate incident and accident with one of our keepers who was actually in the same space with a lion and was bitten by the lion,” said Gregg Hudson, President and CEO of the Dallas Zoo. One of two Zookeepers who were present, inadvertently left the door of an enclosure area open. The male Zookeeper who, according to zoo officials, is among the most experienced, was bitten at least once on the shoulder and scratched several times. “Anytime that you’re bitten by a lion, it’s going to be pretty serious …but I was able to speak to him this afternoon and he’s in good spirits, ” assured Hudson.

August 10, 2014 Aiken, SC: Lt, Jake Mahoney with the Aiken Department of Public Safety is investigating the disappearance of a pet mountain lion from a Aquarium Pets on Richland Avenue West in Aiken. The animal is described as black in color, (mountain lions are all tan, so was this really a black leopard?) weighing approximately 100 pounds, and three feet tall. The mountain lion was wearing a dog harness when it was last seen. The owner told officers that the animal has been declawed, which has been illegal since 2004. Investigators have determined that the entire story has been fabricated, Mahoney said Sunday evening. Mahoney said at this time there is no indication as to why the original complainant fabricated the story. The search for the missing mountain lion has now turned into a criminal investigation pertaining to the filing of a false police report. The stats for escapes and incidents above have been reduced accordingly.

Joe Schreibvogel blamed Saffery on facebook, and it was posted on dozens of news sites, saying, “This was an employee error of violating the safety protocols of placing any part of the body inside a cage.” That seems like a hypocritical policy given that Schreibvogel frequently parades around in front of staff and guests walking an adult tiger on a leash and allowing staff and even guests to go in the cages and play with lions, ligers and tigers.

She was walking next to the cage for a five-year-old male lion when he stuck his paws between the bars and grappled her. “My leg was through the bars into his enclosure… and I was in the feeding cage. He started biting my leg and scratching it, and I tried to push back with my other leg but somehow… he had both my legs up to my upper thigh inside the enclosure. The bars are quite close together so I couldn’t pull them out because at my knee it got stuck, and i could see him biting me and I thought I was going to lose both my legs,” she said.
Fagen said she remembers the male lion being quite affectionate with her and in a very good mood. A few minutes later, she noticed the lion was at the door to the feeding cage, and that’s when he grabbed the bottom of her leg and tried to pull her through the bars. A female lion approached and also began mauling her legs as well. The teenager said that’s when she was certain she was going to die. Other volunteers at the centre heard Fagen’s screams and ran to her rescue, fending off the lions with brooms. She was rushed to a hospital and treated for multiple lacerations to her legs and abdomen.

The facility is called Project Survival Cat Haven and is run by Dale Anderson. On his website he says, “In the seventh grade a gentleman brought a Mountain Lion to my class… After that experience I wanted to have a cat of some kind at some later date.” This is why it is so bad to use wild animals as ego props, especially in the presence of children who will grow up to fulfill their desire to “be that guy,” even if it means dooming wild animals to life in cages.

May 23, 2012 Plano, TX: A bobcat has been filmed who is wearing a collar, and was obviously a pet, wandering around a Plano, TX neighborhood with her kittens. It is not known if she escaped, or if she was abandoned, nor is it known if she was pregnant at the time of release or if she has mated with native bobcats. What this does do is prove that bobcats should not be kept as pets and when they escape into the environment they can multiply. That wouldn’t be such a bad thing for bobcats in TX, except that most pet bobcats are the Northern varieties and thus the mixing of genes in the wild could threaten local varieties as the northern cats are usually much larger.

Thompson, who lived on the property, had orangutans and chimps in his home, but those were still in their cages. 18 tigers, 17 lions and 3 cougars were shot to death because the owner had cut all of the doors off the cages to prevent their containment. A cougar is still at large. In the last six years, local authorities visited Thompson’s farm nearly 30 times in response to complaints about escaped animals, animal cruelty, and more. Police knew the rare animals were at a huge risk, but there was nothing they could do because OH does not ban the private possession of wild animals.
October 16, 2011 Odessa, TX: A 4-year-old boy was mauled by a pet mountain lion owned by his aunt. His mother and aunt refused to speak to the press and wanted to hide the attack. The boy received lacerations and puncture wounds on his left side, including a bite mark on the left side of his face during the attack in West Odessa, Sgt. Gary Duesler with the Ector County Sheriff’s Office said. Amber Michelle Couch, 9450 W. 26th St., who owned the mountain lion, was given a citation for not keeping up with the vaccines and was warned in July that the cage was too small and gaps where the cat could reach out too large, but had done nothing to correct the situation.
September 17, 2011 Wynnewood, OK: Again at Joe Schreibvogel’s G.W. Exotic Animal Park rather incredibly just a week later, there was another incident of a child being bitten by one of the cubs.

Sarah went innocently towards the lion, which was in a cage which was not properly closed. The lion pounced on the girl and was about to bite her when the maid intervened and saved baby. Effects of the lion’s canines can be cured with time, but the psychological effects of the attack is difficult to heal, as my daughter still suffers from intense fear and starts screaming and crying at any loud sound.” He added “I call upon the concerned authorities to impose controls on breeding wild animals in the homes, this time my baby narrowly escaped death, but what will be the fate of others who may be exposed to similar incidents.”

July 8, 2011 Smolensk, Russia: Russian police said they would not be charging the owners of a circus where a leopard mauled a small girl, as the law failed to provide adequately for such an event. The incident took place in Smolensk, a city some 400 km to the southwest of Moscow. The leopard bit the girl’s thigh and scratched her shin before being restrained by circus staff. “Russian law does not provide any clear description of how to act with regard to wild animals, including in a circus, and does not state any punishment for the owner of an animal that attacks a person,” said Alexander Borovikov, a senior aide to the prosecutor for the Smolensk Region.

Dec. 4, 2010 Cincinnati, OH: A serval found in Blanchester has been returned to its owner. Eris, a female serval, was found inside a barn on Tuesday morning hovering over a domestic cat she had just killed. Ohio initiated a ban on such animals in 2010. The cat had escaped nine days before.

Oct. 31, 2010 Belize: A killing by an escaped4 year old, 130 lb jaguar named Max, is the latest, sad episode in a too-often-repeated series of ill-fated, cross-species encounters that usually end badly for humans and almost always worse for wild animals. The tragedy that could have been averted if people only learned from past experience that large predators belong in their native habitat, never in cages. Max was kept in captivity by filmmakers Richard and Carol Foster, who produced wildlife documentaries for National Geographic and escaped after winds from Hurricane Richard toppled a tree onto his cage. The cat attacked a dog owned by the Fosters’ U.S.-born neighbor, Bruce Cullerton, and when Cullerton tried to save his pet the jaguar pounced, dragged him into the bushes and bit him savagely on the arms and neck. After authorities found Cullerton’s mangled body they baited a steel-mesh trap, re-captured the jaguar and killed it – the circle of life, wild-animal-in-captivity style. Says the reporter, “I’ve never been a huge fan of wildlife documentaries since I always suspected filmmakers used captive animals for much of their footage, and the Fosters’ episode would seem to confirm my suspicion.”

February 19, 2010 Wellington, FL: A Jaguar tore the thumb off of a visitor to Panther Ridge Conservation Center, owned by Judy Berens. The visitor, whose name wasn’t released, apparently had her fingers curled around an enclosure at Panther Ridge Conservation Center when a jaguar grabbed her hand and tore off her thumb, said Gabriella Ferraro, spokeswoman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. It is the third time since 2005 that wildlife officials have been called to the roughly 10-acre compound off Palm Beach Pointe Boulevard. In 2008, Berens was attacked by two cheetahs as she was entertaining visitors in their enclosure. Three years earlier, a 500-pound Bengal tiger escaped from his cage. Judy Berens had said she was paying $7,500 each for the Jaguars, Aztec and Tia that she bought from Lance Ramos, a circus owner in Balm, FL in 2004.
A May inspection by the U.S. Department of Agriculture that found Berens had improperly declawed two clouded leopards. “The procedure is no longer considered to be acceptable when performed solely for handling or husbandry purposes since it can cause considerable pain and discomfort to the animal and may result in chronic health problems,” inspectors wrote. When Judy Behrens was criticized in 2008 for paying $40,000 for two cheetahs by those who believe it feeds the market for the endangered cats, she insisted she is trying to help protect them by removing them from the wild. She faces a $500 fine for the loss of the guest’s thumb.

He had entered the cage to feed the tiger. The tiger mauled a 10-year-old Toronto boy in June of 2004, igniting a heated discussion in Southwold Township on whether exotic animals should be banned from the area. The boy and his family were visiting Mr. Buwalda’s residence when Mr. Buwalda led the tiger out of the cage to allow the boy and his younger siblings to take photos of the animal. The tiger was on a leash but lunged forward, knocking its owner off balance. Residents were furious when the town lost a court case that would have seen Mr. Buwalda’s exotic animals banned.

November 13, 2009 China: 2 tigers were killed after mauling a zoo worker at a zoo in Liaoning Province. The attack is attributed to the tigers being starved. Yang Jingwel, 51, struggled desperately for nearly 15 minutes before zoo workers shot the tigers 10 times with a shotgun. A profusely bleeding Yang was seriously injured on his head, neck, hands, arms and legs, and flesh had been ripped out from the lower part of his face. “He was brought in a coma caused by excessive blood loss,” Dr. Gaoyan at Shenyang Military General Hospital, told the Xinhua News Agency. “His breath and heartbeat could be barely felt.” “It is possible that the tigersattacked a human being because they are starved,” Wan Dongmei, professor of zoology at Liaoning University said. The zoo administration, which has a poor record of animal feeding, dealt with the revenue shortfall by sacrificing small animals to save the big ones.”Ducks and geese that once amused visitors were fed to the big cats.
November 9, 2009 Las Cruces, AZ: A bobcat was captured at the former home of an exotic cat breeder named Kelli Perras and another large cat is still on the loose,
according to Doña Ana Sheriff’s Department investigators. The bobcat was isolated in a tree and shot with a tranquilizer dart to capture it without injury, after which it was transported to the Animal Services Center of the Mesilla Valley, and is expected to be sent to a sanctuary. A second, larger cat – possibly a pregnant bobcat or mountain lion – may have escaped the residence before investigators arrived. The residence is north of Las Cruces on King Edward Avenue, near the intersection of Doña Ana Road and West Taylor Road. Perras had cats seized from her in June; Bengals and Savannahs were transported to the Humane Society of the White Mountains in Lakeside, Ariz., about 130 miles northeast of Phoenix, so that they would not be euthanized.
October 26, 2009 Boca Raton, FL: A Palm Beach Circuit judge told Redclift, 34, that if, in the next two months, she paid outstanding room and board – already at close to $1,000 – and got the right permit, the state would drop the charge of having Nambi the Serval without a permit. According to a report by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, a neighbor called the agency Sept. 3 to say the owner of a home in the 5100 block of Deerhurst Crescent Circle in Boca Raton had a wild cat for a pet. The neighbor, who e-mailed photographs of Nambi to the agency, said a person had been hurt by the cat. The FWC waited 20 days to investigate, but when they did Redclift told them the cat was a “Savannah cat” and said she’d brought it from NC. She admitted it had escaped from the home in Boca Raton and is now trying to have the cat released from the sanctuary where he was placed upon seizure and turned over to a Miami exotic animal dealer.

October 5, 2009 Calgary Zoo, Ontario: Two 27-year-olds, Thomas Bryce-Hart and Trever Wearmouth snuck onto zoo grounds Monday morning and climbed over the public safety fence surrounding a tiger exhibit, where one man suffered serious arm injuries. Grahame Newton, the director of corporate services at the zoo, said the men first made “unauthorized access” to the property by climbing over its exterior fence, which stands nearly 2.5 metres high and has three strands of barbed wire at the top. About two metres in from the public safety fence, a second interior fence — 4.5-metres high and electrified along four separate wires at the top — cages the tigers off from the outside world. The exterior side of the second fence is where the injured man made contact with a two-year-old Siberian tiger named Vitali. It is believed that the man had his arm pulled through the fence after it became hooked by the animal’s claw. “The information we have is that while his injuries appear not to be life-threatening, they are, however, quite serious,” Newton said. “I think it’s fair to say that if anybody puts their mind to it, they can breach any kind of security and that certainly seems to have been the case here,” Newton said.

The serval is at the Tucson Wildlife Center, a non-profit sanctuary and rehabilitation center. Lisa Bates-Lininger is founding president of the Tucson Wildlife Center. She says they had to tranquilize the big cat “She could still move and attack and she was really upset with the people around her. So we did tranquilize her and we found nothing wrong with her major,” Bates-Lininger says. But the serval was in bad shape. “She was dehydrated and tired and just ready to give up. She may have died last night, but luckily we got her in. We got her emergency treatment, fluids for shock,” Bates-Lininger says. She’s also missing a rear leg.
September 29, 2009 Romania: Hunedoara zoo was evacuated after keepers spotted two tigers – a pregnant female and its mate – roaming the zoo. They were finally shot with tranquiliser darts by zoo keepers who feared they may break out of the zoo and get into the nearby town.
September 10, 2009 Hanoi, Vietnam: A tiger leaped out of its enclosure at a Vietnam tiger farm and killed a zoo worker and injured another when the cat jumped over the 8.3 foot high, electrified fence to attack the men who were planting trees. The Dai Nam zoo keeps nine adult and seven infant tigers. In 2007, the communist government allowed some private tiger farms in southern Vietnam to keep dozens of the endangered animals as they were better equipped than state zoos. Most conservationalists believe that this farming of tigers has been encouraged by China’s efforts to throw off a ban on using tiger parts. The talk of lifting the ban on the trade in tiger parts has increased poaching putting the tiger on the brink of extinction with only 3,500 cats left in the wild and one being killed every day.
August 27, 2009 Harare Zimbabwe, Africa: A lion escaped from its cage at Kyle Recreational Park near Lake Mutirikwi in Masvingo. 4 lions escaped from their cages at Simply Wild a lion breeding scam to provide canned hunts but Parks and Wildlife Management Authority rangers recaptured three. The runaway lions were part of the 59 that were abandoned by Ronnie Sparrow. The trackers have been authorised to shoot the lion. Ms Washaya-Moyo attributed the escape to vandalism and theft of solar panels that used to provide power to the perimeter electric fence at the breeding cages.
July 29, 2009 Hyderbad, India: A white tiger at the Nehru Zoological Park wrenched the right hand of a drunken visitor when he thrust it into the animal’s enclosure after all the park was closed for the day. Ramesh lost the muscles on his right hand from forearm almost up to the shoulder and also suffered scratches on his face. He was rushed to Osmania General Hospital where doctors shifted him to the ICU immediately.
July 29, 2009 Las Vegas, NV: A white tiger that is used in a Las Vegas magic show performed a surprise disappearing act – when it escaped from its cage and went on the prowl. Terrified residents in the northwest of the city spotted the big cat wandering the streets on Thursday evening. Police and the Animal Rescue Service were alerted and the tiger was cornered in a family’s back garden. Police Lt. Les Lane said the cat belonged to Fercos Brothers magic act. Zuzana Kukol, the owner of the REXANO website that attempts to discredit those who oppose the use of big cats in circus acts, claimed to be training tigers for the 6th generation Fercos Brothers circus act in an online post to a snake owners blog. The Fercos Brothers operate out of Pahrump, NV and FL at 6155 S.W. 123rd Av Miami, FL 33183. Fercos Brothers Circus has applied to the USFWS repeatedly in an attempt to move tigers in and out of the U.S. Big Cat Rescue always responds with letters to the USFWS explaining that circus acts do noting to protect tigers in the wild and allowing such movement is only a detriment to both the captive tigers and those in the wild. Check to send a letter of your own. Mark Smith lztwobits@ claims that Picasso the tiger escaped while being taking out for a walk, rather than from a cage…well that’s reassuring!
May 26, 2009 Zion Wildlife Centre, New Zealand: A zoo-keeper has been mauled to death by a white tiger in the notorious safari park, in the third attack in four months. The keeper suffered serious “tearing” injuries to his abdomen and lower leg after being attacked when he and another keeper went to clean the enclosure. The man died at the scene before an ambulance arrived at the park. The tiger has since been shot dead. The zoo which displays 42 lions and tigers has been embroiled in controversy over the last year. In February a keeper was hospitalised after being bitten on the knee while trying to move a tiger between two enclosures. Demetri Price, a senior zoo-keeper, laughed off the attack at the time, saying he had “no worry at all” about the zoo’s safety. In April, a Scottish teenager working at the park, Lisa Baxter, was left scarred for life, when Timba, an African white lion, sunk his teeth into both her hands after she put her hands through a hole in the fence designed for television cameras to stroke a cub. The park is also currently involved in an employment dispute with Craig Busch, whose Lionman television series had an international audience. A MAF investigation expressed concern that animals were kept in crowded, insanitary conditions.
May 25, 2009 East Liverpool, PA: An 11 year old girl in Columbiana County was flown by helicopter ambulance to Children’s Hospital in Pittsburgh after either being mauled by a pet mountain lion. The police spokesman said, “Apparently, someone has it as a pet,” and that the child’s parents took her to the hospital directly from the scene of the incident. He was uncertain where the incident took place.
May 25, 2009 Lisbon, OH: A 10-year-old girl was attacked by a pet cougar while visiting the home of Chris Joseph, a family friend who owned several African lions and cougars. A young male cougar grabbed and released the child’s arm at least three times when she put her hand and arm into a cage containing two of these large predators. In order to release the girl from the cat’s jaws, the friend had to remove a fan that was in front of an opening and crawl into the cage with the animals. The girl was rushed to a local hospital and then airlifted to Children’s Hospital in Pittsburgh. A USDA inspector cited owner Matt Joseph for two direct noncompliances in relation to this incident and warned that because the gate to the barrier fence, which is also the perimeter fence, was unlocked, “anyone could access these animals when the owners are not at home.”
May 24, 2009 Great Bend, KS: Officials at the Great Bend Zoo are trying to figure out how a 150-pound mountain lion escaped from its enclosure. The 14-year-old female was shot and killed by police after escaping during feeding time. The big cat was frightened and had a history of being somewhat aggressive.
May 24, 2009 Memphis, TN: A Memphis Zoo investigation team said this afternoon that human error led to an incident in which a keeper was bitten by a Bengal tiger. The keeper failed to close two internal safety doors inside the nighthouse building, according to a report from the team. When the keeper released two Bengal tigers into their outside exhibit, one of them wandered into the unsecured walkway, encountered the keeper and bit him on his upper-right calf.
May 24, 2009 Næstved Zoo, South Zealand: Tigers mauled, killed and partly ate the body of a former zoo keeper, after he apparently committed suicide in their enclosure. The body of a former employee of Næstved Zoo was partly eaten by tigers after the man broke into their enclosure on Sunday night. A source told the newspaper that the body had been badly mauled by the tigers, which ate parts of the man’s legs and lower abdomen. The man had been employed as an animal keeper at the South Zealand zoo for ten months, where he was described as having a deep fascination with the zoo’s Bengalese tigers. Zoo owner Peter Bo Rasmussen said that the death was a tragedy but it would not affect the way staff interact with the animals.
May 3, 2009 New Orleans, LA: Linda Authement of Violet said the recent discovery of her cat, Raja, with a hole in its head has her both heartbroken and angry. Her $3,500 Savannah cat escaped and was allegedly shot by her neighbor Rene Paul Desselle. The Savannah cat is a crossbreed between a Serval African wild cat and domestic cats. They can weigh up to 25 pounds and are spotted.
May 2, 2009 Christmas, FL: Wildlife officials are looking for a pregnant cougar that escaped into the woods in central Florida while being transferred to a cage. The cougar, owned by Jacob Kagan’s Jungle Adventures, escaped while being prepared for a trip to the veterinarian for a cesarean section. The cougar named Sierra is declawed, wearing a collar and in need of emergency surgery. Anyone seeing the cougar is urged to call the Wildlife Alert Hotline at 1-888-404-3922. The Florida Wildlife Conservation Commission permits cougars as pets in FL despite public outcry against the practice. Jungle Adventures is located at 26205 E. Hwy 50 Christmas, FL 32709.
April 24, 2009 CO: A volunteer was bitten by a tiger at Big Cats of Serenity Springs located at 24615 Scott Road in Calhan. He says ge got too close to the cage while cleaning, but one has to wonder how the cat got his mouth around the man’s arm, if it wasn’t in the cage. This isn’t the first tragedy to occur there either; on June 30, 2003 two tigers severely mauled an employee of Big Cats of Serenity Springs as he entered their cage. The employee was knocked down by one tiger and suffered a mangled leg and scalp injuries. As a result, the tigers were beaten with shovels and later killed.
April 17, 2009 Jacksonville, FL: A jaguar at the Jacksonville Zoo escaped from an enclosure through a hole in the fence. The hole may have been made by a groundskeeper. The jaguar was captured in a net and returned to the enclosure.
March 23, 2009 Wylie, TX: Two tigers and one lion were saved from starvation by USDA and placed at another sanctuary that claims it is in serious financial trouble The tigers’ teeth had been ground down, and the end of the lion’s tail was raw from the cat’s worried chewing. The big cats were seized by the USDA from Marcus Cook – who has been under the federal government’s scope for years. One concern raised was that of a video that showed a tiger biting a trainer. Cook has leased his exotic cats to zoos and theme parks. At one point, he allowed the public to pet the animals as part of the exhibit. Now, he faces allegations of abusing several of his large cats. Rescuers said the large cats are recovering from one of the worst cases of abuse they have seen. In court documents, Cook has been accused of housing tigers and lions in dangerous and filthy cages. In one case, lions were reportedly forced to live in standing water for days. In another, documents said a tiger escaped and injured a worker. Federal agents have tried to revoke Cook’s business license, but Cook has appealed, which allows him to stay in business.
March 17, 2009 Lehigh Acres, FL: David Piper says he received a call from Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Investigator Lar Gregory on March 11, asking him if he would rescue and rehabilitate two female mountain lions being kept as pets at a home in Lehigh Acres. Gregory said the home did not meet spacing requirements for keeping large cats. (FL cage size only reguires 10 x 20 feet) The owner of the cats, John Wein, says he’s always had a fascination with large cats. He bought the mountain lions from a supplier when they were still kittens. He had them spayed and declawed. When they were small, he kept them in his house. But as they got bigger, they had to be caged outside. David Piper says he found the cats in unfit condition. Cherokee had an injury to her palm that had become infected. The bite had come from one of Wein’s dogs. The other, Scout, was very thin and apparently malnourished.
March 16, 2009 Sydney, Austraiia: A 9 year old lioness named Jamelia was shot dead after escaping from her enclosure at the Mogo Zoo, forcing dozens of visitors to hide inside buildings. Jamelia was shot dead. “It’s an absolute loss, the team are still quite upset,” he added. “She was a very important animal and loved by the entire team.”
March 8, 2009 Australia: A tiger tamer wannabee needed stitches to an arm gash after being scratched by a Sumatran tiger in a play session at Australia Zoo. Zoo director Wes Mannion said the tiger was a young male called Juma, which had been hand raised at the zoo since arriving as a cub. The tiger incident follows a January scare at the zoo when a reptile handler required treatment in Nambour General Hospital after being bitten by a brown snake while he was trying to feed it a mouse.
March 8, 2009 China: A Siberian tiger at a wildlife park near Beijing attacked and killed a man who climbed into its enclosure thinking he found a shortcut down from the Great Wall. The 20-year-old man, surnamed Guo, had been hiking with two other people when the group decided to jump down to save time on the descent — unknowingly landing themselves in Badaling Wildlife World’s tiger enclosure. The tiger pounced on Guo, knocking him down and clamping its jaws around his throat. Guo was killed instantly. The two men who escaped told police they had seen signs around the enclosure cautioning of predatory animals but did not believe the warnings because they could not see any.
February 26, 2009 Lakemoor, IL: The head of a white tiger was found off a busy highway near Lakemoor and is thought to have bounced out of the back of a truck. Police aren’t saying who owns the cat, if it lived as a pet in the area or if it was killed in a hunt. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service officials said they knew who the owner was and that it was legal to return the head to the owner. Whether it was legal to have the cat in the first place is still unclear. Jeff Squibb, an Illinois Department of Agriculture spokesman, said a federal permit must be obtained for a private property owner to keep dangerous animals in the state. Under the federal government’s Captive Wildlife Safety Act, it’s illegal to import, export, buy, sell, transport, receive or acquire certain big cats across state lines or the U.S. border. There are exemptions for certain entities and individuals, such as zoos, circuses, wildlife sanctuaries meeting specific criteria and state-licensed veterinarians. Lions, tigers, leopards, snow leopards, clouded leopards, jaguars, cheetahs and cougars are covered by the federal act, as well as hybrids of the species. But the act doesn’t ban big feline ownership. Update: A man from Hebron in McHenry County called to claim the skin and head that he intended to have made into a rug. He received it from a veterinarian who put down a tiger owned by Hawthorn Corp., a facility near Richmond that raises white tigers and elephants for circuses.
February 21, 2009 Oakley, KS: For almost 20 years Jeffrey Harsh has owned the Prairie Cat Animal Refuge. It is next door to his Free Breakfast Hotel and a junk yard. When Harsh came over to feed the animals that night, he noticed the perimeter fence was open and he heard screaming. “It (the lion) had him (the victim) by the arm. I broke him lose from the animal by whacking her over the head (with a steel pipe.) There was a major tear in his arm,” Harsh said. Thomas County Sheriff Rod Taylor says long before this attack the county has tried to shut the refuge down. The lions have bitten two other people. Due to the attack, Harsh agreed to give up the cats to avoid exotic animal charges. He says it’s probably a good time to do it because it’s getting too expensive to feed them.
February 19, 2009 New Orleans, LA: Zoo veterinarians caught a 22-pound African Serval in Uptown New Orleans, not far from the home of Wayne del Corral who was taken to court last year for keeping a Serval at his home. Corral said the cat found this week isn’t his. He said Wednesday that his own serval escaped more than four months ago in Hammond. However, authorities say its age, sex, condition, temperament and the fact that all four feet were declawed, are “eerily similar” to the animal caught last year in the same area. Heidi Heyns, 48, who lives nearby, said she saw a woman carrying a bag of raw meat and looking under houses in the area several days ago. The woman said she was looking for a lost cat described as looking like a Cheetah. “She said not to approach it, that it might not be real friendly.”
February 18, 2009 New Zealand: A 260kg tiger named Abu, at the Zion Wildlife Gardens, latched its huge jaws into Demetri Price’s knee. Dalu Mncube, the zoo’s most experienced big-cat keeper, plunged his fingers into the gap between the tiger’s 75mm-long teeth, before using a fire extinguisher to force the animal to release the 30 yr old Price. The Australian said Abu got scared while he was being moved and bit him four times. “It happened in a flash” Abu is not one of the tigers that interact with the public because of his tendency to get frightened. The park is the subject of an ownership dispute between Lion Man Craig Busch and his mother, Patricia Busch. Mr Busch was also criticised last April for failing to notify the Labour Department when a white lion bit a guide.
February 12, 2009 Hamilton Co. TX: Sheriff Gregg Bewley said the 300 lb tiger, removed from a flimsy 15 x 24 ft cage at 2842 County Road 203, is underweight and has hookworms, but is doing alright. Sheriff’s deputies determined the tiger’s cage was not up to code. The cat’s owner had not registered with the sheriff’s office as required by state health and safety codes, he said. The owner is said to be out of the country. Four charges have been filed related to keeping the tiger and failing to report it. The county judge awarded the tiger to the Humane Society who is looking for a sanctuary that can take the cat.
February 11, 2009 Omaha, NE: Dr Doug Armstrong, a 25 year veteran vet at the Henry Doorly Zoo, was bitten by an unconscious, 20-month-old, 200-pound male Malaysian tiger during a routine medical examination. Armstrong, 57, was taken to Creighton Medical Center in serious condition. The zoo’s director, Dr. Lee Simmons, said Armstrong was bitten on the right forearm — apparently as a reflex. After the tiger was weighed, workers were moving him to a sleeping cage when he turned his head, grabbed Armstrong’s arm and chomped. “The tiger bit Armstrong three times, and it was pretty severe,” Simmons said.
February 6, 2009 Staten Island, NY: A 30-pound bobcat that had been running free for weeks in Grasmere is now at a Long Island wildlife refuge. The yearling, female bobcat, which was declawed, was a pet before she was released to fend for herself. The cat is underweight and had been prowling around Brady’s Pond behind Fingerboard Road since last Thanksgiving. She was trapped by a homeowner and turned over to Animal Care and Control. Several neighborhood residents said the cat was once the pet of a couple that split up. Left with an owner that didn’t want her, the bobcat was turned loose.
February 2, 2009 Troy, AL: A child was clawed by a leopard at the McClelland Critters zoo when the owner of the facility took visitors behind the barrier that separates the animals from the public.
January 29, 2009 CO: Sandra Lee Jacobson, 40, is suspected in a hit and run Wednesday that killed two Connecticut librarians Kathy Krasniewicz, 54, and Kate McClelland, 71 and she is facing a jury trial in March on a charge of illegal possession of a tiger cub. Authorities found a 4-month-old male tiger in a south Centennial home. Police began investigating the home after someone gave the Colorado Department of Wildlife photos taken with a cellphone showing the tiger being driven around Centennial in an SUV. Jacobson, who faces charges of vehicular homicide and driving under the influence, remains in jail in lieu of $50,000 bail.
January 25, 2009 Thailand: Ruth Corlett, 45, was at one of those pay to play schemes called Khumsu Chiang Mai Tiger Centre (like the Tiger Temple) with her family when the one year old female tiger named Pancake mauled her leg. Daniel Charman was horrified when the tiger attacked his friend and credits his large size, and leaping onto the tiger, with keeping the tiger from successfully dragging Corlett away. He hoisted Corlett onto his shoulders and out of the cage. Mrs Corlett was rushed to hospital, where she received 54 stitches on the wound. “Pancake has never bitten anyone before, despite being played with by tourists very often,” the staff member said. Local Thai media reported that Mr Corlett is looking to sue the Khumsu Chiang Mai Tiger Centre.
January 18, 2009 Ingram, TX: Kimra a 300 lb pet tiger escaped from Anke Leitner and was captured in the yard of 79 year old Mildred Crenshaw on Beaver St. The cage fell apart and the tiger hopped out at feeding time. “That’s a terrible feeling to wake up with police surrounding your house, and to look out your window and see a tiger standing there. Nobody came to my door. Nobody called,” said Crenshaw, who went on to say that Leitner’s tiger has been a cause of concern for years to nearby residents, some of whom appealed to county and state leaders to no avail. “Regardless of if she has the right permits and everything else, I don’t think anybody should have one, period,” Crenshaw said. “They’re not pets.”
January 18, 2009 Thurmont near Frederick, MD: 32-year-old Deborah Gregory of Severn was in critical condition at the University of Maryland Shock Trauma unit after she was attacked by a jaguar at the Catoctin Wildlife Preserve and Zoo, a private zoo owned by the Richard Hahn family since 1965 in Maryland that encourages up-close encounters with its animals. “She was inside the jaguar enclosure and hadn’t secured the area where she was working,” said Harold Domer, executive director of Frederick County Animal Control. The woman suffered several bite wounds, he said, and her condition was critical Sunday evening. Two jaguars (Diego 10 and Evita 12) were in the enclosure at the time. Marc Bekoff, a retired University of Colorado professor of ecology and evolutionary biology and the author of “The Emotional Lives of Animals,” said “She’s lucky she’s alive. You’re keeping these wide-ranging carnivores in prisons. You never know what’s going on in the heads of these animals.”
January 8, 2009 Salem, OR: During a USDA inspection, exhibitor James Wise was demonstrating to the inspector how he gave an adult male tiger a pill. When Wise turned around, the tiger lunged at him, bit his forearm, and pushed him into a fence. Wise hit the tiger on the face until he released his grip long enough for Wise to escape the enclosure.
January 7, 2009 Mexico City, Mexico: A tiger bit a young man who climbed over a fence and entered its enclosure at Mexico City’s Chapultepec Zoo. Zookeepers tranquilized the big cat, pulled the man out of the enclosure and had him taken to a hospital for treatment of his wounds. The Chapultepec Zoo is the largest zoo in Latin America. It opened in 1923, has more than 2,000 animals from over 200 species on display and is free for residents, with an estimated 5.5 million to 8 million people visiting each year.
Date in 2009 unknown Kragga Kamma Game Park in South Africa: Michelle Bodenheimer was mauled by an 18-month old cheetah cub while at the Kragga Kamma Game Park in South Africa. The cubs were named Ranger and Strike. “I had a claw come across the top of my head leaving me with a three or four inch gash to my scalp,” she said. She required dozens of stitches and says park authorities made her a promise after the mauling. “They basically said it was clear those cats were too big, too strong, and too playful,” she said. “It was too dangerous to have them with people.”
December 26, 2008 Mexico City, Mexico: Lions and tigers were confiscated during drug raid. A gardener detained along with more than a dozen members of an alleged drug trafficking ring testified that police threatened him to feed him to lions and tigers during a raid at a Mexico City mansion. The gardener, Fernando Maya, testified that police dragged him to cages with lions and tigers and threatened to throw him inside. “They kept saying, where is he? And that they were going to throw me to the lions, they were going to throw me to the tigers, which had not eaten.” Eleven Colombians, a U.S. citizen, two Mexicans an Uruguayan were detained in the raid. Prosecutors said the gang allegedly arranged for cocaine shipments from Colombia to Mexico’s Beltran Levya cartel.
December 12, 2008 Las Vegas, NV: Numerous visitors looked on as a lion attacked and bit a trainer on the leg during a feeding at the MGM Grand lion habitat. Another trainer intervened by hitting the lion on the nose. The victim sustained injuries requiring stitches.
December 8, 2008 Hamilton TWP, NJ: Santa Claus bit by pet bobcat in Petsmart. Scratches and bites cover the hand and arm of Jonathan Bebbington, after being mauled by a pet bobcat who was brought to Petsmart for a photo session. Bebbington says, “It hurt, it had a lot of power in its jaws.” He struggled to control the cat for nearly 5 minutes while it bit him repeatedly. “He locked on here, grabbed the skin,” he says as he points to his left hand. The cat’s owner left after the incident without providing her name, though she did tell volunteers with Penny Angel’s Beagle Rescue, which ran the event, that she had it shipped from Wyoming for $1,500. It is illegal to own a bobcat in New Jersey and allegedly this owner was keeping hers tethered in yard. There have been other cases of bobcats in South Jersey, including Mr. Peepers at the Cape May County Park Zoo, which was rescued from Bridgeton. Anyone with information about the bobcat or its owner should call the Atlantic County Division of Public Health at (609) 645 5931.
December 6, 2008 Wisconsin Dells, WI: Alan Borud was greeted by a 50 lb Siberian Lynx in his yard. Borud watched as the cat came up on the porch, stood on its hind legs, at which point it was about chest high to Borud, and looked in the window. He called DNR who took the cat to a local humane society. Big Cat Rescue called the authorities and offered a home to the cat, but Derick Duane of the McKenzie Wildlife Center said the owner, Mark Schoebel, of Timbavati Wildlife Park in Lake Delton, was coming to retrieve her. They have had issues with Mark Schoebel, and have taken our name as a placement option if the owner cannot keep the Siberian Lynx contained. The Siberian Lynx escaped while Mark Schoebel was transporting the cat to the Wisconsin Dells resort where he sets up regularly with his pay to pet and play booth. He typically uses lions and tigers for this activity as they are bigger money makers. Mark Schoebel is under investigation for illegal movement of exotic animals and plead guilty to providing bears for slaughter in the 1990s.
November 29, 2008 Jacksonville, FL: Two bobcats at the Jacksonville Zoo escaped from an enclosure and into the zookeepers’ work area when a keeper left the enclosure door open. One of the bobcats was able to escape onto zoo grounds through another door that had been left open to the outside. The zoo was placed on lockdown and visitors were required to stay inside shops and restaurants. After nearly an hour, the bobcat was tranquilized and recaptured. November 27, 2008 Kansas City, KS: An exotic African cat (a Serval) roaming a Kansas City neighborhood has been shot and killed by police. Residents worried the cat was dangerous to children. But efforts to trap it over several weeks were unsuccessful, and an officer shot it Thursday with a patrol rifle. Police think the cat was dumped or had escaped from people who were keeping it as a pet. The identity of the owners is not known.
November 15, 2008 Miami, FL: A 16-year-old girl mauled by a 150-pound cougar required more than two hours of surgery to repair a large gash in the back of her neck suffered when the animal clenched its powerful jaws around her head. “It’s really a miracle that she’s alive,” said a family spokesman. Because the male cougar, named Chaos, was declawed, the girl did not suffer scratches to her face or body. Saturday’s attack was witnessed by the girl’s mother, who had brought her daughter to work cleaning out cages at a private wild animal sanctuary in a North Miami-Dade home to earn community service hours required to graduate from high school. The cougar lunged at the teen in the yard of the home of Alan Rigerman who keeps the animals at his home in the 17900 block of Northwest 84th Avenue. Rigerman owns a second cougar, snakes, tortoises and alligators. The girl and her mother had been brought to the home by Anthony Zitnick, 21, who after the attack was arrested on a charge of burglary of an occupied dwelling. Rigerman told The Miami Herald that Zitnick entered the property with a key he had given him after Hurricane Wilma in 2005, but that Zitnick only helped with the animals while under Rigerman’s “supervision.” Zitnick casually knew the girl’s mother and had asked her if any of her children would be interested in the nonpaying job. The girl and her mother had no idea Mr. Zitnick did not belong on the premises, which they entered with a key. Chaos got agitated, suddenly lurched and pinned the girl, and put his mouth around her head. A neighbor who heard the girl’s screams jumped over the fence and helped free her from Chaos’ jaws by punching the animal in the face. At the time of Saturday’s attack, Rigerman was out of town at a reptile show in Tampa. Rigerman often attends public meetings of Florida’s Wildlife Conservation Commission praising them for their lax regulations and enforcement and opposing new rules that would curb his behavior. He has publicly threatened other attendees who favor tougher regulations.
November 16, 2008 Luray, VA: A 15 year old keeper lost her finger to a 5 year old tiger named Star at the Luray Zoo located at 1087 US Hwy 211 West, in Luray, Virginia 22835 owned by Mark Kilby and Jennifer Westhoff. She was showing off and petting the cat in front of visitors at the time. The Page County Sheriff’s Office says the girl’s finger was amputated as result of a tiger bite. The private zoo’s web page is covered in pictures of people petting exotic cats and behaving recklessly. The Luray Zoo has frequently employed people as young as 14, said Kilby. It is a violation of VA’s Dept. of Labor laws that teens under 18 work in any “occupation that exposes them to a recognized hazard capable of causing serious physical injury or death.” Kilby declined to discuss whether the zoo carries insurance for such attacks. Besides the tiger, the zoo’s 37 mammals include five other breeds of what Kilby terms “big cats” – two lynxes, one serval and one bobcat.
November 13, 2008 Singapore: Three white tigers mauled Nordin Bin Montong, 32, a Malaysian working as a cleaner at the zoo, to death after the man jumped into their enclosure. “Keepers managed to separate the worker from the tiger. While waiting for the ambulance, our vets attended to him,” said Guha. “The worker tragically succumbed to his wound.” Nordin was seen behaving in an agitated manner before he fell into the moat. Terrified visitors near the section watched the vicious attack in horror and screamed, the paper said. Aziz Ansari, 16, a student, filmed the initial part of the horrific attack with his handphone. The video clip showed Mr Nordin’s desperate fight to save himself, first by trying to get up and back into the moat, then by kicking one of the two tigers.
November 9, 2008 Junsele, Sweden: A keeper was mauled by a white tiger at the zoo. The keeper, who has worked with the zoo’s tigers for 16 years, was trapped in a cage with the big cat unti the zoo’s owner, Ulf Henriksson lured the tiger away with a piece of meat so rescue workers could get the man out of the cage and into an ambulance. The keeper was bitten in the foot and the shoulder and would be hospitalized for a couple of days to ensure against infection from the wounds, Henriksson said, noting the tiger saw the keeper more as a playmate than a threat.
November 8, 2008 Anchorage, AK: In the past week, three reports of the cat wandering near Fort Richardson and Point Woronzof, some 10 miles apart, have reached Rick Sinnott, Anchorage-area wildlife biologist with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. The cat’s reported spots and size appear to describe the serval, an African wildcat sometimes kept as a “designer” pet, he said. Possessing such an animal is a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail and a $10,000 fine, he said.
November 5, 2008 Mexico City, Mexico: A family in Mexico was in shock after finding a tiger, which had escaped from a circus, lying on their patio, police said. The tiger terrified the town of Zitacuaro, in western Michoacan state, as it wandered the streets for an hour and a half before entering a house. The tiger “went through the house and lay down on the patio,” the officer said. “The family was terrified and they hid.” A total of three tigers escaped from their circus cages when the doors were left open the day before.
October 29, 2008 Winston, OR: Two cheetahs headed for the Memphis Zoo aboard a Delta flight made a stop at the Atlanta airport where it was discovered one of them had gotten free in the plane. The cheetahs are one-year-old sisters from Wildlife Safari Park in Winston, Oregon. An airline baggage worker in Atlanta opened the plane’s cargo door and found the cheetah running loose amid the luggage. The plane was moved into a closed airport hangar, and both cheetahs were tranquilized and taken to the Atlanta zoo for a few days before continuing their trip to Memphis.
October 29, 2008Cambridgeshire U.K.:Hamerton Zoo offers ‘Face to Face with a Cheetah’ sessions but today the face to face happened with a little boy after the Cheetah escaped the zoo. The 6ft long animal was just 15 feet from 9 year oldToby when he spotted it. Toby dropped the bicycle he had been playing with and fled. As he reached the house the three-year-old, 66lb cheetah named Akea bit chunks out of the saddle and ripped the tires with his claws. Toby has since had nightmares over the incident. He said: “I panicked. It looked massive and really scary. I thought it would attack me. I ran as fast as I could.”
October 28, 2008 Latham, NY: Many attacks and escapes go unreported as those who deal in exotics do not want the bad press, but they can’t help but brag about it on what they think are private chat groups. This was posted on Phoenix Exotics by a breeder of Savannah cats: “Hell I got seriously bitten by a serval and I went to the ER and said I fell out of a tree and landed on barbed wire…” signed Deborah-Ann Milette, The home of the best known Savannah”MOTZIE” In 2005 USDA fined her and revoked her license 21-C-0218 for because she allegedly drugged and killed a tiger cub among other things.

October 28, 2008 Berlin, Germany: Rescue workers saved six tigers from a blazing 43-foot wagon by turning them loose on the highway. One tiger appeared to have suffered some smoke inhalation, but the other five were in good condition, owner Daniel Renz said. Renz said his show would go on, as planned on October 30, but the six tigers involved in Monday’s blaze — Queeni, Aschima, Lena, Sonja, Sibi and Goldi — will be given a break and some of the circus’ seven other tigers will perform in their place. The suspected cause was an overheated suspension system on the truck, said Renz.
October 4, 2008 Palm City, FL: A 50 lb, declawed Siberian Lynx disappeared from 3560 SW Wood Creek Trail at about 4:30 a.m., shortly after owner Tina Love fed her on the screened patio. “She’s not the type to walk around,” Love said. “But I thought she might have just wandered off.” The property was unfenced. Love bought Simba from a breeder in Wisconsin for $2,500 after she gave away her bobcat because it was too wild. The Siberian Lynx was found again a couple weeks later, a mile and a half away, hanging out in a children’s playground. She was confiscated by authorities as the owner did not have current permits and lacked appropriate caging. Often Big Cat Rescue has to turn away cats, from irresponsible owners who are trying to dump them, because the owners refuse to sign a contract stating that they will never again fuel the exotic pet trade.
September 18, 2008 Mentone, AL: A cougar escaped from a cage at Lookout Mountain Wild Animal Park and attacked a black leopard’s foot through the fence of an enclosure. The cougar was shot and killed in order to get him to release his hold on the leopard’s paw.
September 16, 2008 Gaveston, TX: Galveston County Judge Jim Yarbrough said Tuesday that a tiger is out of its enclosure from an exotic pets center. The news follows reports of a lion holed up in a Baptist church with its owner on Bolivar Peninsula. Yarbrough said, “I understand he’s hungry … so we’re staying away from him.” Hurricane Ike made landfall Sept. 13 but a week later, the tiger still had not been found. The lioness and her owner were waist deep in water in the church along with several people who had fled there for shelter. “They worked pretty well together, actually,” said the lion’s owner, Michael Ray Kujawa. “When you have to swim, the lion doesn’t care about eating nobody.”
August 20 2008 Reno, NV: Washoe County Regional Animal Services originally responded to a call about a large black dog on the roof of a home in the valley east of Washoe Lake. When they got there, they found not a dog, but two black leopards on the roof. State Wildlife Department spokesman Edwin Lyngar says the cats are exotic pets that escaped from the home of their owner Andy Kay who could not be reached for comment at telephone numbers associated with the West Coyote Drive address or the Ann Road address. Washoe County Assessor’s Office records indicate the Washoe Valley property is owned by Coyote Irrevocable Trust and that Kay is a trustee. In March two black leopards were fired on by the police after allegedly mauling a puppy 200 yards from their home. Those cats were never found and are suspected to be the same as these found on a rooftop. Regional Animal Services Center Director Cindy Sabatoni said two Siberian tigers were found in Washoe County two years ago and a bobcat was found last year in Stead. The problem in NV is so prevalent that the tigers never even made the news. The county has put forth a list of requirements that he is expected to meet by June 17th, 2009. One of the orders, is that Kay builds a 8-foot block wall around the cats’ chain-link fence enclsoure. Kay is also expected to notify animal control within 24 hours of the cats returning to his Las Vegas property. That applies in the event that he takes the black leopards out of jurisdiction. Animal control has pushed to revoke Kay’s permit, following the accusations that his cat escaped and put a neighbor’s pet in danger. “What do you do with the cat that doesn’t make it into a show? They end up somehwere. Sometimes it’s in a bad situation. You never hear about it working out great for the cat for the rest of its life,” said Andy Kay. (Why is he showing cats when he knows that showing cats is the reason so many end up unwanted?)
August 19, 2008 West Palm Beach, FL: Authorities found and sedated a missing tiger from McCarthy’s Wildlife Center. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission says the adult lion and tiger escaped and were loose overnight at McCarthy’s Wildlife Sanctuary (a breeding compound and not a true sanctuary) about 20 miles northwest of West Palm Beach. Three schools, Golden Grove Elementary, Acreage Pines Elementary and Western Pines Middle, were on lock-down until the tiger was found and sedated at 11:00 am the next day. Authorities say they don’t know how the big cats escaped. A person who answered the telephone at the sanctuary on Wednesday said they couldn’t comment and abruptly hung up. Marc McCarthy houses 22 big cats on what appears in aerial maps to be about 8 lots in a subdivision. In May, McCarthy was rushed to the hospital after being bitten on the leg by one of his tigers, Sabi, on the set of a rap video being filmed in Miami.
August 5, 2008 Richmond Township, IL: Larry Dean said he was practicing a circus act at the Hawthorn Corporation farm near Richmond when the tiger suddenly became aggressive and grabbed him with its mouth. “He had numerous scratch marks and bite marks,” said Richmond Township Fire Chief Rick Gallas. “I would say that was a mauling… he was pretty bloody.” Gallas said workers told paramedics they had to beat the tiger with baseball bats to get it to release Dean. Gallas said Dean told paramedics it was the second time a tiger had attacked him at the farm, but Dean declined to comment when asked about that on Thursday and Hawthorn’s owner, John Cuneo says Dean should not have been near the tigers. Hawthorn owns about 50 tigers but only about 30 of the animals are at the farm, Cuneo said. Others are performing at circuses around the world, Cuneo said. In 2003 the U.S. Department of Agriculture accused Hawthorn of failing to care for its elephants properly. But in 2004 he agreed to give away his elephants in exchange for keeping his circus tigers. Cuneo has tried to get rid of his tigers when they won’t perform by asking Big Cat Rescue to take them, but Big Cat Rescue does not enable bad behaviour. Cuneo’s Sarasota neighbors are concerned that he plans to move his tigers to their neighborhood as he has purchased 5 acres of beach front there and asked for permits to install n 8 foot high wall. FL law requires 5 ac and an 8′ fence for people to keep tigers in their back yard.
August 4, 2008 Branson, MO: A 16-year-old boy named Dakoda Ramel is in the hospital after an attack at the Interactive Zoo and Aquarium( fka Predator World) in Branson West owned by Breck Wakefield. Rescue crews say a 16-year-old employee entered the tiger exhibit to take some photos for guests. Witnesses tell rescuers the teen was knocked to the ground. That’s when they say two other tigers joined in, dragging the teen to the water trough. “We have two puncture wounds on the neck, one big one on the leg, a big gash on the leg. His neck is bleeding,” a caller says on the 911 tape. That’s the condition in which he was airlifted to Springfield, where he remains four days later in critical condition. The father of the boy, Jim Barr said, “It was holding him down by his leg and tearing his calf off, eating it right in front of him.” A lot of people remember Predator World from last year, when some wolves, a fox and a bear escaped. The bear killed an adult tiger at the park. What this park is known for is its interactions with animals like sharks, tigers and alligators. The family of sixteen-year-old Dakoda Wood is taking Predator World to court claiming the tiger bit Wood on the neck, damaging his spinal cord. Wood’s attorneys say the attack caused paralysis and injury to his whole body. Now Wood’s attorneys want to hold the tiger’s owners responsible for injuries the lawsuit claims will cause Wood to suffer a diminished capacity for work, labor and pleasure for the rest of his life. Wood’s attorneys say the business is responsible because the business failed to train and supervise the 16-year-old. They claim the business also failed to restrain the tiger. The lawsuit states Wood has and will pay numerous medical bills because of the attack. Attorneys claim he has also suffered anxiety of the body and mind.
August 3, 2008 Warren County, MO: A 26 year old volunteer named Jacob Barr was mauled by a tiger at the Wesa-A-Geh-Ya Animal Facility and lost his leg below the knee. The Warren County Sheriff’s Department responded, to a report of a dog attack. Staff at the compound described not a tiger, but rather a pitbull attack. “This was not a dog attack, it was indeed a cat (800 lb tiger) attack on the person,” Sheriff Kevin Harrison said. “And that they had tried to mislead my investigators and cover it up.” The victim lost his leg below the knee and was airlifted to Barnes Hospital by Arch Air Medical. The tiger named Hercules who was said to have hopped the fence was shot to death by the owners, Ken and Sandra Smith. They then hid the body at a family member’s house. The farm is home to 50 exotic animals and has been criticized by animal protection groups and USDA. About four years ago, the USDA filed allegations against the Smiths that included not providing proper veterinary treatment and lacking adequately trained employees. The Smiths gave up their exhibitor license and later had it revoked for operating without a license. They are no longer inspected by USDA and the Sheriff’s office has no resources to devote to managing these kinds of operations.
July 17, 2008 New Zealand Safari Park: Lisa Baxter, a 19 year old tour guide knew that if she screamed it would wake the rest of the pack and she would be killed, so she quietly worked to free her hands from the piercing bite of 18 month old Timba, the lion. Lisa, of Gullane, East Lothian, said: “I was stroking Timba’s nose when he just grabbed my hand. His teeth were razorsharp and went straight through my skin.” Later she added, “My hands were so swollen, I thought they were going to explode.”
July 14, 2008 El Paso County, CO: El Paso County Sheriff’s deputies searched for an African lion who was spotted running loose by two witnesses, one of whom saw the lion chase several dogs through a field.

June 17, 2008 McAllen, TX: Police said Michelle Ashton, 49, who was arrested while exchanging carriers filled with six tiger cubs in a parking lot, could be linked to a suspected tiger-smuggling ring. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Special Agent Alejandro Rodriguez says it appears the cubs were bound for Mexico when they were seized. According to the feds, smuggling wildlife is a lucrative business that ranks second only to drug smuggling. “It’s a very huge problem,” Fish & Wildlife Service Agent Nicholas Chavez said. “It’s been prevalent for years. It’s something that we see definitely every week.” “You could get anywhere from probably $3000 to $25000 a piece for them depending on what color they are, what they look like,” he said. Ashton allegedly told police that she was a representative of Spring Hill Wildlife Ranch outside of Calvert in Robertson County. If convicted Ashton could face a $250,000 dollar fine and up to five years in prison for violating the U.S. Endangered Species Act. Wildlife trafficking earns billions of dollars annually. Smuggling wildlife products feeds into multipurpose criminal distribution networks that generate what Younger called “peripheral crime.” This includes corruption of officials, falsification of documents, intimidation and murder. “Once we start to dig into these things we find that not only are they smuggling wildlife, for example, but they’ll be smuggling narcotics, or diamonds or gold bullion,” he said.
June 7, 2008 Tokyo, Japan: Zookeeper, Atsushi Ito, was mauled to death by an 11 year old, 330 lb. male tiger while cleaning the animal’s cage at the Kyoto City Zoo in western Japan. Police suspected Ito had failed to lock a door that connected two cages.

May 5, 2008 Loxahatchee, FL: According to and Palm Beach Post: “Mark McCarthy who took his tiger onto the set of rapper Rick Ross’ new video, was savagely attacked by the white tiger. The big cat, which featured in the background of one of Ross’ scenes with Nellie was being used as a prop to look like the rapper’s pet. The tiger turned on the unnamed trainer when he tried to coax the fierce creature out of its cage during filming. Reportedly agitated from being in chains all day, the tiger bit the trainer’s leg as he tried to remove it from its cage. The tiger’s keeper suffered severe bite wounds to his right leg and was rushed to hospital after the attack. Now laid up, McCarthy had to cancel some of his other gigs. “Won’t be the first time I’ve been bit, won’t be the last. I’ve been bit by everything from venomous snakes to tigers and leopards and monkeys and who knows what else,” said the 52-year-old owner of McCarthy’s Wildlife Sanctuary. He said the $5,000 bonus he got for the video will barely make up for the shows he missed. ”
May 1, 2008 Quebec: The 70-kilogram king of the jungle, who goes by the name of Boomer, has been on the lam since he escaped last night from a house where he was kept as a man’s personal pet.

March 28, 2008 Davenport, FL: Darryl Atkinson of Horseshoe Creek says the animals have to go now that he won’t be able to exhibit them for money. He has more than 30 big cats in cages that have been cited more than 40 times for being too small and too flimsy. When Big Cat Rescue called to see if they could help they were told that Atkinson was going to work with Bhagavan Antle (T.I.G.E.R.S. in SC and FL) and that his cats were going with him. There isn’t much the state or federal government can do to stop him if another dealer is willing to let him continue to operate under their license.

March 20, 2008 Ontario, Canada Bowmanville Zoo: A martial arts teacher knocked over by a lion during a photo shoot for Desi Life at Bowmanville Zoo says she is happy to have come away with four broken ribs and a bloodied lung. “To be honest, the sensation I have is a great deal of gratitude to be alive,” Gitanjali Kolanad said yesterday. In the video, one minder kicks the baby lion in the neck while the other pulls on a leash. The lion takes a second, unsuccessful lunge at Kolanad as she lies gasping, before he is hauled out the door. “I couldn’t breathe – that was the terrifying part. The muscles in my chest seized up and they didn’t relax until I was in the emergency room and they gave me a muscle relaxant.” See it here:
February 23, 2008 Miami, FL: A pet serval was turned in, no questions asked, at an exotic pet amnesty day sponsored by the Florida Wildlife Conservation Commission. 100 owners dropped off bags full of pythons, scorpions and assorted other reptiles, birds and mammals. “This is garden-variety stuff,” said exotic pet veterinarian Thomas Goldsmith, who examined the submissions. “This is Miami. People have sloths and leopards and God knows what else.” The FWC then gave the dumped pets to new owners. One of the people surrendering her pets, Christie Lyon said, “People have no idea what they’re getting into.”

December 27, 2007 Manitowoc, WI: Two cougars escaped at the Lincoln Park Zoo. Mayor Kevin Crawford said “These animals can’t survive in the wild.

A zookeeper saw cougar tracks in snow and discovered the animals had escaped between 7 and 8 a.m., Crawford said.
December 25, 2007 San Francisco, CA: A Siberian tiger named Tatiana escaped at the San Francisco zoo, killing17 year old Carlos Sousa who was in the cafe and mauled two other young men (19 and 23) before police arrived on the scene and shot Tatiana to death. All three boys were from San Jose. The zoo says they don’t know how she escaped. Tatiana’s enclosure was reinforced after the cat’s first attack two days before Christmas last year. In the attack that occurred last year, Tatiana chewed off keeper Lori Komejan’s arm during a regular afternoon feeding at the Lion House. The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health later ruled the zoo was responsible for that incident, blaming poor training and the way the tiger enclosures were designed. The city, which helps fund the zoo, has been sued by Komejan and is assessing whether it is liable for the Christmas Day mauling. The identity of the dead victim, Carl Sousa, Jr., has been made public and his parents have been interviewed on TV and elsewhere over the last couple of days. But the names of the two other victims, who are brothers and frinds of Sousa’s, were not revealed. Until 12/29/07. From a report this morning by the AP’s Jordan Robertson and Marcus Wolhsen: The 4-year-old tiger, a female named Tatiana, went on a rampage near closing time Tuesday, killing Sousa and severely injuring the two others before police shot it to death. Brothers Paul Dhaliwal, 19, and Kulbir Dhaliwal, 23, were at San Francisco General Hospital with severe bite and claw wounds. Their names were provided by hospital and law enforcement sources who spoke on condition of anonymity because the family had not yet given permission to release their names. After interviewing the brothers, police said Kulbir Dhaliwal was the animal’s first victim. As the tiger clawed and bit him, Sousa and the younger brother yelled in hopes of scaring it off him, police said. The cat then went for Sousa, slashing his neck as the brothers ran to a zoo cafe for help. After killing the teenager, the tiger followed a trail of blood left by Kulbir Dhaliwal about 300 yards to the cafe, where it mauled both men, police said. Four officers who had already discovered Sousa’s body then arrived and found the cat sitting next to one of the bloodied brothers, police Chief Heather Fong said. The victim yelled, “Help me! Help me!” and the animal resumed its attack, Fong said. The officers used their patrol car lights to distract the tiger, and it turned and began approaching them, leading all four to open fire, she said. Read all of the stories online
December 25, 2007 Dallas, TX: A pet tiger who was wearing a collar was found shot to death alongside I-35E in a vacant lot near the Madison Point Apartments in Dallas, TX. Big Cat Rescue is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible. Officials believe the tiger was illegally kept, violently killed and unlawfully dumped on a city street. “This is a horrible example of what humans are capable of,” said Louis Dorfman. “Somebody out there thought they were going to make a pet out of this animal. These are never pets.” News 8 has learned the death of the tiger was subsequently linked to a notorious west Dallas gang that kept the tiger in a house. More HERE Man Killed by Tiger at Zoo
December 20, 2007 India: A 50-year-old man, a school teacher, was mauled to death by a Bengal tiger at a zoo in Assam, India.

December 3, 2007 Acton, CA: Chris Orr, a 40 year old caretaker who had worked at the facility for more than 20 years, was bitten on the neck and critically mauled by a 4 year old, 450 lb tiger named Alexander at the Shambala Preserve. Orr was airlifted to a hospital and is in stable condition. “It’s a terrible, terrible thing that has happened,” Hedren said, adding that many of the tigers in her sanctuary come from abused backgrounds. “Who knows what happened to this tiger? People have kept them in closets, basements. Two of them were kept in air-conditioning systems. What makes these animals so dangerous is for no reason at all this kind of accident can happen. It isn’t the tiger’s fault. It is the fault of the people breeding these animals in the first place that leads them to be here.”She described the tiger in Monday’s incident as a “mutt” that was probably bred in the United States as an exotic pet. The facility was established on 80 acres in 1972 by actress Tippi Hedren as a retirement home for lions and tigers that she co starred with in the movie Roar. About 70 big cats normally live there and include lions, tigers, ligers, leopards, servals, mountain lions, bobcats, a lynx and a Florida panther.

November 19, 2007 Wakefield, OH: Pike County sheriff’s deputies responded to a 911 call of a lion “attacking” vehicles on U.S. 23 found Terry and Vicki Brumfield trying to capture the 550-pound feline. Lambert had broken out of his pen in Piketon. Brumfield raises lions as an escape from depression and owns two lions, Lambert and Lacey. Although he says he loves his pets, Brumfield said he was prepared to shoot Lambert. Ohio doesn’t require permits for exotic animals, but that would change under an Ohio House bill now in committee. Terry Brumfield faces three misdemeanor animal cruelty charges, including failure to provide his two lions with a clean, healthful environment. Pike County Humane Agent John Owens says an inspection of Brumfield’s property showed that the cage where two lions were kept was caked with manure and littered with rotting animal carcasses.

November 9, 2007 Inverness, FL: 5 tigers and a lion were seized from Susan MacKay’s home by the FWC. Witnesses and video showed the animals to be walking skeletons. She and her late husband, Wild Bill MacKay, ran a roadside tourist trap and bred tigers for sale to private owners. Reports say that the FWC was aware of the starvation for two years and had already seized another cat previously. MacKay claimed to be feeding a cut up tiger in her freezer to the living cats. The cats were sent to another private owner who has 200 exotic pets including 14 big cats in his residential backyard lot that is only 2.5 acres. That owner claims that he will find them yet another home, but zoos do not take castoffs from the exotic pet trade, so that means they will likely go to yet another ill equipped owner.

November 1, 2007 Mahopac, NY: An emaciated Serval seized from a squalid home. “What we’re finding now is in its feces, there’s a lot of Styrofoam,” said Ken Ross, chief of the SPCA of Westchester’s Humane Law Enforcement division. “It was eating whatever it could. It was extremely hungry.” Louis Pinto, 54, who is on parole after a drug conviction, was charged with animal cruelty, a misdemeanor, in the serval case. The serval wasn’t the first large feline to lead Pinto to legal trouble. In 1998, DEC officers removed Dax, a 5-month-old domesticated bobcat, from his home. In 2002, Pinto was charged with first-degree criminal possession narcotics after authorities seized $1 million worth of the illegal drugs. Serval news HERE

This happened just moments before the couple were to release the cougar to a sanctuary because they were moving.
June 24, 2007 South Africa, Morokweng village: The North West provincial government remains mum on the action to be taken against the owners of the lions who killed a nine-year-old boy on a farm near Bray last weekend. Tshepo Gaorupi was mauled by two lions when he reportedly stuck his hand through the fence of the enclosure housing the lions on Woodborrow farm.

May 11, 2007 B.C. Canada: A 32 year old woman named Tanya Dumstrey-Soos was mauled to death, in front of her horrified children, by a tiger owned by Kim Carlton of Siberian Magic. Witnesses at the scene said she was killed by being too close to the cage. Kim Carlton’s business puts on exotic and magic shows and offers photos with the big cats. Two years ago a vet had determined these animals’ living conditions (12 x 12 cages) were putting them in distress and the SPCA wanted to move in but had not found anywhere suitable to place them. The SPCA noted this would have been avoided by a ban on the private possession of big cats, such as many other Canadian provinces already have.
April 11, 2007 Krugersdorp on Gauteng’s West Rand, Africa: The Ngonyama Lions Lodge which was owned by Dirk Brink, is set to be auctioned off. Brink was found dead in the lion enclosure last month. He signed the mandate for the auction just hours before his death. The business will be auctioned in May. Steve Van der Berg, Aucor property’s spokesperson, says Brink made arrangements with him to sign the mandate. This has paved the way for the lodge, which houses several amenities and wildlife, to come under the hammer.

February 24, 2007 Denver, CO: A 27 yr old Denver Zookeeper, Ashlee Pfaff, who has worked at the zoo for a year, was mauled to death by a 6 yr old, 140 lb jaguar named Jorge as she was working inside the animal’s cage. It is unclear why the zookeeper entered the animal’s enclosure while the jaguar was in it, said Tiffany Barnhart, a spokeswoman for the zoo. Pfaff was taken to Denver Health Medical Center but died from her injuries. An autopsy showed death was “due to injuries to the neck, including blood vessels, spinal column and spinal cord.” Zookeepers who entered the jaguar’s enclosure to rescue the injured worker shot the jaguar to death when it approached them, said Bannhart. The jaguar, named Jorge, came to Denver from Santa Cruz Zoo, Bolivia, in March 2005. More…
February 23, 2007 China: A six-year-old girl named Rui Xin was mauled to death by a performing tiger at the Kunming Zoo in Yunnan province. The animal lunged at the girl’s head when a flashbulb went off as the child was being photographed. The tiger held the child’s head in its mouth for over a minute as frantic trainers beat the animal with clubs and a chair, trying to force it to let go of Rui Xin. She was rushed to hospital, where she was pronounced dead with a crushed skull. Her mother was also bitten on the arm.
February 21, 2007 Napavine, WA: Paul Mason had to give up his 4 Siberian Tigers when he got evicted from his rural Lewis County home.

A lion also escaped a few years ago.
February 06,2007 Edinburg, TX: A bobcat slipped silently through the front door of the Museum of South Texas History’s gift shop. “…he just sat there like he owned the place,” said Sandra Luna. The bobcat was almost certainly an escaped or released pet. “A wild bobcat would not come inside,” said John Young, a mammologist with the Texas Department of Parks and Wildlife in Austin. A wild one “would be going frantic to get back out.” (Because the cat could not be verified as a pet, it is not listed above in the totals of exotic cat incidents.)
January 21, 2007 San Angelo, TX: A woman was bitten by a old lion cub who was less than 8 weeks old at a mall and treated at the Emergency Room for punctures. The lion cub was being used for photo ops by G.W. Exotic Animal Foundation. Animal Services examined the cub and said it had ringworm which is highly contagious. Even though the cub was only 54 days old he was able to bite a woman’s forearm hard enough to puncture, requiring a tetanus shot at the emergency room.
January 19, 2007 Novosibirsk Zoo, Russia: An unidentified man, fuelled by booze, decided that it would be a really good idea to climb into the tiger’s enclosure and give him a hug.

December 23, 2006 San Francisco, CA: “The tiger ate her hand. It slowly proceeded to eat the rest of her arm.” That’s how Vikram Chari described the horrifying spectacle that he and his 6-year-old son witnessed. A 350-pound Siberian tiger named Tatiana attacked her keeper at the San Francisco Zoo during feeding time Friday afternoon as dozens of visitors looked on. The keeper, who sources identified as Lori Komejan, was taken to San Francisco General Hospital. “The right arm was in the tiger’s mouth,” said Chari “The left arm was just being held there (in the claws) and the right arm was being eaten. She was screaming and flailing away.” This same keeper appears in the 2005 episode of Dirty Jobs called Cheese Maker (available on DVD from Discovery Ch.) In the episode, she is in the lion house, and in front of visitors and the camera, she repeatedly reaches her arms into the lion and tiger cages, hugging, scratching and kissing them and invites her host to do the same. While feeding you can see her stick her whole arm into the cage while tossing horse meat and a whole rabbit. The Cal-OSHA report said zoo officials knew the Lion House posed a hazard, because the cats were known to be able to reach through the bars. It also found officials were remiss for not training workers in safety procedures, such as a buddy system or the use of specialized equipment. More HERE
December 22, 2006: Washington, DC: The National Zoo was briefly shut down Friday after a clouded leopard was discovered missing from a wire-mesh enclosure. Mook, a 5-year-old, 24-pound female, apparently escaped overnight, zoo spokesman John Gibbons said.
December 20, 2006 Searcy, AR: The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission thinks the marauding Mountain Lion is a former pet who has killed three calves, chased a girl into her home, clawed a tractor as a farmer was trying to flee and chased after a woman walking her dog. “We don’t have mountain lions in Arkansas,” said Keith Stephens, assistant chief of communications for the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. “There are probably some feral ones, which would have been a domestic animal at one time, someone’s pet. It might’ve gotten too wild. When they get them as kittens they are lovable and playful, but when they get to be 100 pounds, they overwhelm a person, and they just release them into the wild.” Sasse agrees with Stephens, that what is being seen in Arkansas are mostly released pets stating “There was one owned by a drug dealer in Arkansas a few years ago, and he basically let it run free.”
December 18, 2006 Kiev, Ukraine: (AP) A tiger bit off the ear of a 33 year old man who fell into her enclosure at a zoo in southern Ukraine.

December 7, 2006 Coral Gables, FL: Goya Foods executive Francisco Unanue hired Corinne Oltz of Wild Animal World to bring a 62-pound cougar to entertain his 7 year old and their guests. The party ended badly when the cougar mauled a 4-year-old guest. An investigator for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission told the Herald that the cat’s bite “was a fraction of an inch from going to the brain stem. That would have killed the kid instantly.” The Kendall-based Wild Animal World — who has been cited in two similar past attacks — faces a misdemeanor charge of allowing injury to the public. The girl suffered severe lacerations to her eyelid, left cheek and ear. Doctors sewed back part of her severed ear. Georgia, the cougar, was euthanized last week as part of a rabies test. In 1999, Oltz was cited in a similar attack, also in Coral Gables. In 2001, a Wild Animal World leopard attacked a child at a company picnic in Broward County. “That one was a fraction of an inch from going to the brain stem.” remembered FFW Lt. Pat Reynolds, who is investigating the Coral Gables attack.

The compound was closed after two cougars escaped from their pens for several hours. About 30 visitors had to move to secured areas while a search was conducted. According to news reports, an opening in the animals’ enclosure was big enough to allow them to slip away. One cat was recaptured after about an hour, but the second cougar took a little longer to find. It was hit by two tranquilizer darts, but hid until an Escambia County Sheriff ’s Office helicopter used infrared cameras to find it.
November 13, 2006 Gulf Breeze, FL: Nineteen-year-old Adrienne Leopard, a zookeeper at the Zoo of Northwest Florida, was taken to a local hospital after she was injured by a leopard. “She was too close to one of our big cats,” said Doug Kemper, executive director of the zoo.

She previously had inspected the farm on Oct. 12 and was concerned about two tigers and one lion cub. In 1983, Pearson’s 2-year-old son was killed by a Bengal tiger. In 1997, his 2-year-old grandson was attacked. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has cited Pearson for 900 violations. Witnesses described Pearson’s farm as largely unsanitary, lacking in federal safety measures and nutritional standards, and extremely lax in veterinary record-keeping regulations.

Owner Keith Stroud, after a short struggle, was able to get the leopard to release Thomas’ arm. The recommendation from the state was that the leopard be euthanized which has already occurred. “This is a lose-lose situation for everyone involved. My hands were tied after the state made their recommendation and I had no choice. I was unable to save the cat’s life” said the Animal Control officer. Susan Thomas told authorities that the zoo owner, Keith Stroud was with her and encouraged her to cross the barrier and pet the leopard.

Free Online Update: 11/18/06 Lost Creek Operators Doug and Keith Billingsly cannot engage in any activity for which a license under the Animal Welfare Act is required, until 2011 according to the ruling from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. That includes, breeding and selling, exhibiting or any public use of the big cats. In its 10-page decision issued Nov. 3, the Agriculture Department cited several violations of the Animal Welfare Act at Lost Creek, including allowing the public to have direct contact and pose for photographs with adult tigers. It also did not establish and maintain a program of adequate veterinary care to prevent and control injuries, the ruling stated. The ruling says there were not adequate methods of tranquilization available at the facility. Doug Billingsly’s nephew and authorities had to shoot and kill Shakka after the animal attacked Hilderbrand. The ruling also alleges that the Billingslys did not allow officials with the Agriculture Department’s animal inspection service to inspect the operation on four separate occasions from September 2004 to January 2005, months before the Siberian tiger attacked and killed Hilderbrand. Under the terms of the probation, the Billingslys can be fined $12,600 each if they violate the Animal Welfare Act again. They also were ordered to get rid of all animals subject to the act.

February 1, 2005 Winfield, IN: Video and still pictures of the animal aren’t clear enough to determine what it is, Davis said, but the tracks show it’s a feline. Davis estimated it may weigh about 25 to 35 pounds, similar in size to a bobcat – and much smaller than a cougar, which can weigh up to 150 pounds. The animal appeared to be black. Last summer, Davis said, the DNR captured a mixed-breed cat of about the same size and proportions in Hobart , north of Winfield. A dead bobcat was found near Indiana 49 near Chesterton earlier this month by the DNR. The department did not know if it was a wild feline or a former family pet. People sometimes buy exotic animals and then find that they don’t make good pets, he said.

The boy and some friends were watching the tiger being moved to the truck when the tiger went for the boy, hooking the boy’s thigh and pulling the boy under him.

At one time, the handler’s head was in the tiger’s mouth, Suchy said. LoGiudice has been questioned four times for attacks: One of his cougars bit a 19-month-old in 1999, while an elderly woman was bitten on the arm by a tiger cub in 2000, a trainer suffered 23 puncture wounds from a cougar and a woman sued LoGiudice after the same cougar attacked her, but Florida Game and Fish officials say that these attacks will not cause Curt LoGiudice of Catty Shack Ranch to lose his license to exhibit the cats.

} | 669 | Correction Begins in Earnest
Thursday, March 11, 2004 | 02:28 PM
After making an intermediate high on January 26th, the markets’ corrective process has now been underway for more than six weeks. Although this was not the longest rally without a pullback, it was certainly looking long in the tooth.
Much of this consolidation has been an orderly, light volume affair – complacent, even. This week, however, the lackadaisical tone changed as the sellers became more insistent. Trading volumes have risen every day this week. Defensive sectors (Oil Services, Insurance and Utilities), attracted money from the tech and telecom sectors. That has since changed, as money is now leaving equity markets for safer havens. What was formerly a mere rotation between sectors has now shifted to a minor exodus.
Several historical patterns we watch are suggesting that this pullback is not the beginning of the end, but merely an overdue consolidation, likely to run several weeks or months:
First is the 5% pullback. On average, rallies hit their first 5% pullback on the Dow and SPX at roughly the 60% mark (i.e., the rally has achieved 60% of its gains, and has another 40% to go). That suggests to us more upside remains, albeit from likely lower levels. We also believe that it is less likely to be as “fast and furious” as 2003’s move. Investors, in our opinion, will need to be more selective when it comes to sector and corporate quality.
Secondly, we note a recent study by Tony Dwyer regarding S&P500 and Dow annual series histories. Each time a year of net gains follows a year of net losses, the subsequent 3rd year in the series has mostly been positive. On the Dow, gains occurred 85% of the time in the 3rd year, going back to 1914. The S&P500, with a much shorter history, has never had a negative 3rd year in that consecutive “Negative-Positive-Negative” cycle. This is noteworthy, although not determinative. History may not repeat, but it does rhyme.
In 6 of 8 prior “2nd Year Rallies” (the 3rd year of this cycle), markets experienced meaningful declines in the 1st quarter of the year. Declines came after an average gain of 3% in early part of quarter. The average drop from peak to low was 5.3%, while the declines lasted from 1 to 7 weeks.
The sell off is now producing enough fear that several contrary indicators (i.e., Arms Index) we track suggest we are due for a short-lived (but only short-lived) bounce. The number of stocks trading below their 50 day moving average is at its highest level since this rally began. We suspect the sell off has not yet run its full course. Our previous support levels of 1875 on the Nasdaq and 9900 on the Dow remain in effect.

Sometimes I love riding in the rain and sometimes it sucks. Today it sucked. Mainly because despite checking the weather I opted to leave the house without rain gear in hopes it wouldn’t actually rain. This little game I play with the weather has worked several times before. Today it didn’t. I pretty much swam home and collapsed on my mud room floor like a beached whale. After I dried off and decided I was done with biking for the day and turned to baking instead. Easy Chocolate Souffle, perfect rainy day food. It’s very easy to make… and easy to eat. I recommend it for days when you and your bike get stuck indoors:
• 2 1-ounce semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate squares
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 egg yolk
• 3 tablespoons flour
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Butter two 3/4 cup ramekins. Place on a baking sheet.
2. Microwave chocolate and butter large microwaveable bowl on high for 50 seconds. Stir with wire whisk until chocolate is completely melted. Stir in sugar until well blended. Whisk in egg and egg yolk. Stir in flour. Divide between the ramekins.
3. Bake 13-14 minutes or until sides are firm but center is very soft. Let stand 1 minute. Serve in the ramekin with ice cream and/or strawberries.

Greetings from Portugal!
Love you’re blog and to cook, but since I can’t really manage the imperial syestem, I can’t figure out the 2 1 oz… Can you help?
Cheers, Pedro.
December 1, 2011
Pedro – 1 ounce is about 28.4 grams, so basically you want about 60 grams of chocolate :)
December 1, 2011
So it’s just 2 oz! couldn’t figure out the “1”… right?? thx!
December 1, 2011
Yeah, I think it just meant 2 pieces of 1 oz each (here often baking chocolate will be divided into 1 ounce squares, so it’s easy to break it into standard units).

C and C++ Arrays on Stack and Heap
Posted by binglongx on May 8, 2011
Simple table lists choices for different arrays in C and C++ regarding array length and allocation cost on storage. In this context, array means a linear sequential container of element objects of the same type that are next to its neighbors in memory. The array may or may not be resized. The colors are assigned based on the flexibility of array length, speed of allocation on storage, and extra benefits and pitfalls in features.
Array Length
Storage (auto variable)
C/C++ array fixed at compile-time stack example: int a[10];
boost::array fixed at compile-time stack container-like support
C99 Variable Length Array fixed after created at run-time stack unspecified behavior on error
C++ Variable Length Array on stack with alloca() fixed after created at run-time stack See previous post. non-portable alloca().
std::vector with fixed_block_allocator<T,N> Dynamic at run-time, but no larger than N stack STL compliant
stlsoft::auto_buffer Dynamic at run-time stack if size within a static length; heap otherwise covered in Imperfect C++ (book)
boost::auto_buffer Dynamic at run-time stack if size within a static length; heap otherwise more versatile than stlsoft::auto_buffer. Still in boost review process.
eastl::fixed_vector Dynamic at run-time stack if size within a static length; heap otherwise EASTL replaces STL for high performance game development mostly on memory allocation. Download
rde::fixed_vector Dynamic at run-time stack if size within a static length; heap otherwise RDESTL is similar to EASTL.
std::vector (plain) Dynamic at run-time heap explicit elements construction (slow)
TR2 dynarray fixed after created at run-time heap, but compiler may use stack for auto variable optimization in fact a std::vector but run-time size is fixed when vector’s variable length is unnecessary.
std::valarray Dynamic at run-time heap mostly for mathematic use; no iterator
C++0x std::array fixed at compile-time stack see boost::array
It is quite clear that when high performance is needed, auto_buffers and fixed_vectors are winners, because it provides a fast stack allocation/deallocation when array length is less than the static template parameter, and falls back to heap storage in the worst case.
In fact, the same problem exists on other containers (and string as a special container). EASTL and RDESTL provide fixed_xxxx containers and fixed_string primarily based on stack. STLSOFT has basic_simple_string and basic_static_string for strings.
Leveraging Allocator of STL Containers
Other than std::vector with fixed_block_allocator<T,N> and std::vector, all approaches above are exactly STL containers. Given all the benefits of STL, it would be great to have a STL compliant approach.
STL containers have an allocator template argument for customizing memory allocation for the container. So other than creating new array classes, it is interesting to use the STL container types by using a custom allocator class to get the stack memory for container, for example, for vector.
The C++ allocator for containers is still quite limited with a lot of restrictions (see Effective STL Item 10: Be aware of allocator conventions and restrictions, and Improving Performance with Custom Pool Allocators for STL). For example, an allocator should be able to deallocate memory allocated by another instance of the same allocator class; this is important to implement swap() and list::splice correctly. This would require all allocator types to not have instance data members, but have only class-static data or access global variables. This requirement would make allocator customization a real pain. One can imagine such an allocator is really very restricted.
Fortunately, one can make the operator == of the allocator class to return false when one has instance data in the class. Most STL implementation would know that free swapping is not available for containers with this allocator, and would copy elements one by one. Therefore, by signifying an always unequal allocator, one can get much freedom in designing an allocator.
Even though the standard does not explicitly require the container to have an allocator member variable, it implies so in Allocator requirements. Especially, C++0x enhanced the the allocator model; unlike C++98/03, C++0x explicitly allows one to use an allocator with state (scoped allocator). The container can use meta-programming to take out the allocator member completely if an allocator does not have any data and compact the container’s footprint. If the allocator has state, however, the container has to store it as a data member.
This basically means that it is possible to create upfront an allocator with a big size, for example a fixed length array of T as reserved for container elements. When an instance of the container with a data member of such an allocator type is created on stack, it has that reserved array on stack too.
C++ Programming: Stack Allocators for STL Containers is an example. The fixed_block_allocator<T,N> would house up to N elements. It simply uses max_size() to indicate that fixed length as its memory limit, and trying to size over that would result in std::length_error in container. Because the array member in the allocator is obviously non-static, the allocator uses a false-returning operator ==. Currently it works fine with Visual C++ 10.0 in Release build, but with Debug build the vector has run-time error in the default Visual C++ setting, probably because VC adds debugging bells and rings out-run the buffer.
I think it is possible to extend fixed_block_allocator to use heap as a fall back when more memory is required, such that it does not have the severe limitation of capacity N. This will bring it on par with the auto_buffers and fixed_vectors, but still remain STL compliant.

Create Variable Length Array on the Stack in C++
Posted by binglongx on May 8, 2011
It is easy to use static size (compile-time fixed length) arrays, such as C array and boost::array, on the stack in a function.
Not all the time one knows the size of array at compile-time. If the size of the array can only be known at run-time, there are a few options.
The standard C++ vector container can be used as a very powerful variable length array, but it allocates memory from heap, which may be slow depending on your application requirements. It is often a lot more efficient if an array is allocated from stack, not only because the stack allocation is normally simply a bump on the stack frame, but also because each thread has its own stack so no synchronization is required when multiple threads try to allocate memory. Due to limited space in stack compared to heap, generally the array cannot be too big in the context of stack allocation.
C99 provides Variable Length Array (VLA) on stack:
1 void foo(int size)
2 {
3 int arr[size]; /* variable size at run-time */
4 for(int i=0; i<size; ++i)
5 arr[i] = i;
6 }
Although it is regarded by some as evil, because if the requested size is too big the behavior of Line 3 is implementation defined, which could mean crash, it works fine with reasonable array sizes.
In C++, however, VLA is not supported. Ferruccio gives an example of using the non-standard alloca() to create C++ VLA on stack. This post is based on his work, in an effort to fix a few things in his contribution.
The stack memory allocation alloca() is not part of standard. This means it:
• may not be supported on some platform;
• may have different alignments on different platforms.
• may behave differently when error happens on different platform. For example, in Visual C++ it would raise Windows-specific structured exception requiring Structured Exception Handling (SEH) on Windows. On some *NIX platforms, it may just go haywire with overflowed pointer on stack that is totally undefined behavior.
See also What’s wrong with alloca()? for an ancient summary of pitfalls of alloca().
However, alloca()’s attractiveness is enticing: it is the only way to get dynamic size of memory from stack with literally no allocation cost!
The code below is the C++ VLA support:
1 #include <new> // placement new
2 #include <cassert> // assert
3 #include <malloc.h> // alloca on Windows
5 namespace dsa {
8 stack_array<T> constructs n elements of T type on a given memory buffer at initialization in ctor,
9 and destructs these elements in its dtor. It does not allocate or deallocate memory.
11 The given memory buffer should be at least sizeof(T)*n bytes.
12 T must be default constructible and its dtor should not throw.
14 Its main purpose is to simulate T arr[n]; on stack using alloca with n unknown at compile time.
15 This allocates the array really fast compared to using dynamic memory allocation from heap.
17 template <typename T>
18 class stack_array
19 {
20 public:
21 stack_array(T* p, size_t n) : p_(p), n_(n) { init_elements(); }
22 ~stack_array() { uninit_elements(n_); }
24 // use like T ts[n], ts+i, ts[i] etc.
25 operator T* () { return p_; }
27 // very limited container like support support.
28 size_t size() { return n_; }
29 T* begin() { return p_; }
30 T* end() { return p_ + n_; }
32 private:
33 // uninitialize the first n elements in reverse order.
34 void uninit_elements(size_t n)
35 {
36 while(n>0)
37 p_[--n].~T();
38 }
40 // default construct all elements, or none at exception.
41 void init_elements()
42 {
43 size_t i = 0;
44 try
45 {
46 for(; i<n_; ++i)
47 {
48 // note: boost::has_trivial_default_constructor avoids unnecessary ctor calls explicitly
49 T* pi_ = new (p_+i) T;
50 // if this breaks, initial buffer may not hold n elements for element alignment problems
51 assert( pi_==p_+i );
52 }
53 }
54 catch(...)
55 { // when T ctor throws
56 uninit_elements(i); // clean up initialized objects.
57 throw; // re-throw the exception.
58 }
59 }
61 private:
62 T* p_;
63 size_t n_;
64 };
66 } // dsa
68 // allocate from stack a memory buffer that holds n T objects.
69 // This does not handle the case that alloca fails. Handling that is platform specific.
70 #define NEW_ON_STACK(T,n) static_cast<T*>(alloca(sizeof(T) * (n)))
72 // auxilliary macro to be used with stack_array:
73 // dsa::stack_array<T> arr(NEW_STACK_ARRAY(T,n));
74 #define NEW_STACK_ARRAY(T,n) NEW_ON_STACK(T,(n)),(n)
76 // convenience macro to create a stack_array object arr of n T objects on stack.
77 #define DYNAMIC_STACK_ARRAY(T, arr, n) dsa::stack_array<T> arr(NEW_STACK_ARRAY(T,n))
79 // in the usage above, you do not need to clean up stack_array or memory from alloca.
80 // It destructs automatically when going out of scope.
It basically provides a class stack_array to manage the elements, and uses alloca() to acquire memory from current stack frame. Compared to Ferruccio’s VLA, by taking comments of the code into account, this code has the following improvements.
• It uses placement new to call constructors to initialize the elements. Using array placement new on a raw buffer assumes a compiler specific memory layout and is therefore non-portable (or more non-portable on top of alloca). As pointed out by Fabio, Visual C++ requires an extra size_t at the memory buffer head to keep the size of array, but the call to alloca() does not reflect that. Since there is no portable way to find out what layout this could be for different compilers, it is better not to use array placement new here. Therefore, the improved code simply allocate sizeof(T)*n bytes, and use a for loop to initialize individual elements.
• It is exception safe. Since alloca() itself is not portable, one can only do the best to make sure stack_array is exception safe. The class is relatively simple. Assuming the T destructor does not throw (which is reasonable), it is just to make the stack_array to be exception neutral and safe. If an exception is thrown when constructing an element, the code would destruct all constructed elements and re-throw the same exception.
• It destructs the elements in reverse order. This is just a good practice.
Because the focus is using memory allocated on the stack, this VLA does not support array initializers or element constructors with one or more parameters. Another limitation is that the length cannot be changed once it is created.
This is the sample code to use it:
1 void foo(size_t n)
2 {
3 {
4 DYNAMIC_STACK_ARRAY(int, arrI, n); // int arrI[n];
5 // or this line below has the same effect with some extra typing:
6 // dsa::stack_array<int> arr(NEW_STACK_ARRAY(int,n));
7 assert( arrI.size()==n );
8 arrI[0] = 313;
9 *(arrI+1) = 572;
10 // out of scope: arrI to destruct: so do all elements in it.
11 }
12 // function to return: the memory on stack from alloca is to be reclaimed.
13 }
Once the VLA is created, it is similar to a C99 VLA in usage. The difference is that it is a true C++ construct, meaning you can put arbitrary objects, including your own classes in the array. The only requirement for the element class is that it must be default constructible and the destructor does not throw. For types with trivial constructor, for example, POD types like int, double etc, the stack VLA is very efficient and does not bother to explicitly default construct each elements as in std::vector. But similar to C99 VLA, due to its use of alloca(), this C++ VLA has the same non-portable behavior, especially when it cannot allocate the requested buffer from stack.
If you can have a good guess for the run-time length of the array at compile time, C++ VLA above can always be replaced by stlsoft::auto_buffer or boost::auto_buffer. Plus, auto_buffer is truly portable, and allows changes of array length at run-time, and in the worst case, it would use heap when the array is too big to fit in the predefined stack buffer. boost::auto_buffer also offers various element initialization options, buffer policies and grow policies.

Carolina Hurricanes Attendance Improving as 2013-14 Season Progresses

The hockey fans of Raleigh are steadily migrating back to PNC Arena as the Carolina Hurricanes gradually improve their record.
The 'Canes drew crowds of more than 16,500 to five of their seven games since Dec. 20 to rally their season average from 14,974 to 15,403 per game in 2013-14.
Despite losing all three holiday home games, the 'Canes were a hot Christmas attraction around the Triangle—17,737 traveled to see the rival Capitals in town on Dec. 20, then 18,124 took in Sidney Crosby and the Penguins (the Hurricanes' highest attendance since opening night) on Dec. 27.

The Hurricanes' following hot streak kept observers around even after the conclusion of the holiday season.
Enticed by the offer of a free ticket to Raleigh's First Night celebration after the game, 16,807 watched Carolina's dramatic comeback win on New Year's Eve over Montreal. A crowd of 16,583 then populated PNC Arena last Thursday as the 'Canes routed the Maple Leafs for their fifth consecutive victory.
15,276 took in Carolina's dispiriting loss to Calgary, but considering the circumstances—one of the league's worst teams on a Monday—it wasn't a poor turnout.
A game-by-game graph of 'Canes attendance can be seen below:
Based on
After following the general pattern of attendance set in the last 82-game season of 2011-12, Carolina's recent uptick rises sharply away from 2011-12's pace and indicates a strong second half to come.
Carolina averaged just a hair under 16,000 per game during four home contests between Dec. 21 and 29 of 2011.
And while the Hurricanes still place in the bottom quarter of the league in attendance, such "poor support" must be taken with a grain of salt.
The Raleigh metropolitan area—the Triangle—is the sixth-smallest of the 27 areas covered by the NHL. For a relatively small, Southern city with only 17 years of NHL history, Raleigh supports its continually mediocre hockey franchise quite admirably.
As the 'Canes continue their battle for their first postseason appearance since 2009, the short trend of PNC Arena hockey attendance looks to be a positive factor down the stretch.

} | 868 | A Year Since Khaled Said’s Death, Egypt Still Waits for Justice
By Nicholas Piachaud, North Africa Team
Protests and Police Intimidation at Khaled Said Killing Trial
By Sally Sami, Regional Campaign Coordinator for Amnesty International’s Middle East and North Africa Programme
The second session of the trial of two policemen accused of beating Khaled Said to death started in Alexandria on Saturday, marred by the heavy presence of security forces.
The court was surrounded by uniformed anti-riot officers and cordoned off with metal railings. Both entrances were guarded by plain-clothed police officers who only let lawyers into the building.
The court was surrounded by uniformed anti-riot officers © Amnesty International
I arrived at the court just after 9am. Pushing my way through the crowd, I was stopped by a plain-clothed police officer who asked me for my Bar Association membership card.
I said I was not a lawyer and introduced myself as a representative of Amnesty International who wanted to observe the trial. The police officer refused my entry, insisting that I needed permission from the Head of the Court.
I tried to explain that the lawyers were waiting for me inside and that I had a letter from Amnesty International to present to the court. Again he refused me entry. I asked if I could meet the Head of the Court and get permission but he said no.
I was pushed back and plain-clothed police officers started aggressively pushing the crowd, nearly causing a stampede. I tried to negotiate my entry with the police officer again, telling him that in no country where the rule of law prevails would police have such control over enters the court. After all, aren’t trials supposed to be public, unless decided by a judge? If the authorities have nothing to conceal, why aren’t we allowed in to observe the trial? He said: “This is the way it is and if you don’t like it then leave the country”.
Behind the security forces on the steps outside the court, around 150 supporters of the police officers brandished wooden sticks and chanted insults about Khaled Said and his family, which were also directed at the 100 or so anti-torture protesters on the pavement.
Witnesses have reported that Khaled Said was beaten to death while in the hands of Egyptian security forces, in the city of Alexandria on Sunday 6 June.
Shocking pictures of Khaled Said’s body, whose face was almost unrecognizable in the morgue, were posted on the internet shortly after his death.
Egyptians Act to Stop Torture, Find Justice for Khaled Said
[Update: The trial has been postponed once again to Oct. 23.]
After a two-month postponement, an important trial in Egypt is scheduled to go back into session, and Amnesty International will watch it closely to see whether the judicial system there is ready to keep its police and security officials accountable for their actions.
The trial of two police officers accused of beating to death of a man outside an Alexandria internet café in June was discussed in an earlier blog posting here.
The officers are not accused of murder but with lesser charges. Amnesty has called upon Egyptian officials place measures to protect witnesses in the case. But in similar situations in the past, no charges would have been filed at all. We believe the fact that the trial is being held at all is because of the great groundswell of public interest in the case.
Throughout Egypt, particularly in Alexandra and Cairo, large demonstrations have pressed authorities to pursue this case. A new Amnesty video released this week before the trial explores why people believe this case is so important.
American officials are also watching. Torture and death in custody has always been a significant part of the annual State Department Human Rights report on Egypt, and the last congressional delegation to meet with government officials raised the issue. But frankly, it’s not the U.S. that is making the difference this time.
The video tells the story of why Egyptian people are demanding that the judicial authorities fulfill their obligations for justice and why Khaled Said will not be forgotten. They’ve made their leaders listen. Our support for them will show we are listening as well. | http://blog.amnestyusa.org/tag/khaled-said/ | robots: classic

The Ohio State Top 10 men's basketball list
Posted by Branson Wright, Plain Dealer Reporter November 03, 2008 12:00PM
Is Jimmy Jackson the greatest Ohio State basketball player of all time?
The Ohio State Buckeyes have a reputation of producing great college football players more than great college basketball players.
But they have had their share of great basketball players over the years. Here's our list, in order, of the top 10 players in Buckeyes history, based only on their college careers.
10. Greg Oden (2006-07)
Oden would have been ranked much higher if he would played more than one season, and if he would've played more than 30 games and not lost the early part of the season to injury.
9. Jim Cleamons (1969-71)
A unanimous choice for Big Ten All-American. Cleamons was so good that he was drafted No. 1 by the Los Angeles Lakers in 1971.
8. Michael Redd (1997-2000)
He didn't become a great outside shooter until he made it into the NBA, but he led the Big Ten in scoring his freshman year and he was a three-time team MVP.
Jerry Lucas is our choice as the No.1 OSU player of all time.
7. Scoonie Penn (1996-2000)
Penn was the Big Ten Player of the Year in 1999. Penn was a second-team All-American. He's credited for bringing back the program after Randy Ayers was fired.
6. Kelvin Ransey (1976-80)
A four-year starter. He was all conference for three years and a first-team All-American his senior year. Ransey finished his career second all-time in scoring. Now he's fourth. He's OSU's all-time assist leader.
5. Clark Kellogg (1980-82)
One of the best high school players ever. Big Ten Player of the Year his junior year. He led the Buckeyes in scoring and rebounding his sophomore and junior seasons.
4. John Havlicek (1960-62)
Played on some great OSU teams. He would have been ranked higher, but he was the Robin to our No. 1 player, who was Batman. Havlicek was a three-year starter, two-time all conference and first-team All-American as a senior. A very versatile athlete.
3. Herb Williams (1978-81)
A four-year starter. All Big Ten as a junior. One of the most consistent players in school history. He left school as the all-time rebounder and second in scoring. He's the only OSU player to have at least 2,000 points and at least 1,000 rebounds over a career.
2. Jimmy Jackson (1989-92)
Another versatile player who could play numerous positions. Jackson was Big Ten Freshman of the Year and a two-time conference player of the year. He was a two-time All-American and UPI College Player of the Year.
1. Jerry Lucas (1960-62)
There isn't enough space in this blog to describe how great Lucas was. He was a three-time All-American. He led OSU to a national title in 1960, and the school won three Big Ten titles during his career. Ohio State was a runner-up in the NCAA Finals twice under Lucas. He was a three-time conference player of the Year, and a two-time Final Four MVP. Lucas was a two-time National Player of the Year.

Episode #124: Levelling Up
Tim set himself up to bomb:
So I came up with the idea for this episode, totally my fault. And I knew going into it that I was setting myself for a significant beating from Hal. My guess is that it will take him all of five minutes to write his portion. So here goes.
One of the nice features of Windows is the extremely granular permissions that can be granted on files and directories. This functionality comes at a price, it makes auditing of permissions a big pain. Especially when it comes to groups, and even worse, nested groups. A few of my colleagues and I were looking for files that would allow us to elevate our privileges from the limited user account one with more privileges. Files run by service accounts, or possibly an administrator, and are also modifiable by a more limited user. In short, we were looking for files owned by an admin but writeable by a limited user. Before we get into the fu, we need to look at how file permissions look in PowerShell.
To get file permissions we need to use the Get-Acl cmdlet. The output of the command looks like this (fl is an alias for Format-List and is used to display the results in list form):
PS C:\> get-acl test | fl
Path : Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\FileSystem::C:\test
Owner : MYDOM\tim
Group :
Access : BUILTIN\Administrators Allow FullControl
MYDOM\tim Allow FullControl
CREATOR OWNER Allow 268435456
BUILTIN\Users Allow ReadAndExecute, Synchronize
BUILTIN\Users Allow AppendData
BUILTIN\Users Allow CreateFiles
Audit :
Sddl : O:S-1-5-21-236840484-2123344539-2455687859-23475G:DUD:(A;OICIID;FA;;;BA)
If you look at the Access property you can see that I, MYDOM\Tim, have full access to the folder test. This means I can do what ever I want to the file. Let's take a closer look at this property and expand it using the Select-Object cmdlet with the ExpandProprty option.
PS C:\> get-acl test | select -ExpandProperty Access
FileSystemRights : FullControl
AccessControlType : Allow
IdentityReference : MYDOM\tim
IsInherited : True
InheritanceFlags : None
PropagationFlags : None
In order for me to have write permission, the IdentityReference needs to my user account or a group of which I am a member. The FileSystemRights must be something that allows me to modify the file. Finally, the AccessControlType needs to be Allow. Ok, great, but what groups am I a member of?
To get a list of all the groups a user is a member of you can use the Get-ADAccountAuthorizationGroup cmdlet. The problem, it requires a Windows Server 2008 R2 domain controller or an instance of AD LDS running on a Windows Server 2008 R2 server. It also requires that you have ability to query the domain controller. We'll assume we don't have permissions to do this, so we'll just look for some known groups on the local computer that I should be a member of:
• MYDOM\Users
• MYLAPPY\Users
• MYLAPPY\Guests
• Everyone
Now we have the list of groups. All we need to do is add my user account and we have the list of IdentityReference values we need to look for.
We also need to filter for specific permissions which will allow us modify the file. Here is what we are looking for:
• FullControl
• WriteData
• CreateFiles
• AppendData
• ChangePermissions
• TakeOwnership
• Write
• Modify
So now with all this knowledge of what to look for, we can now do our search for executable files in the Windows directory which we can modify. MYLAPPY is the name of my computer, and MYDOM is the name of my domain.
PS C:\Windows> ls -r -include *.exe,*.ps1,*.bat,*.com,*.vbs,*.dll | Get-Acl |
? { select -InputObject $_ -ExpandProperty Access |
? { ("MYDOM\tim","MYDOM\Users","MYLAPPY\Users","MYLAPPY\Guests","Everyone" -contains $_.IdentityReference)
-and ( "FullControl","WriteData","CreateFiles","AppendData","ChangePermissions","TakeOwnership","Write","Modify"
-contains $_.FileSystemRights) -and $_.AccessControlType -eq "Allow" }
} |
select path
We start off with a recursive directory listing that finds executable files. The results are piped into Get-Acl. A giant Where-Object (alias ?) filter is used to find the files we want. In this case use a nested Where-Object filter. If the inner filter returns an object (an Access object), the outer filter returns true and will return the parent object (the Acl object).
The outer filter just sets up our inner filter. In the inner filter we check to see if the current Access object matches our username or group. This is done by creating a collection of principles and checking if the IdentityReference property of the Access object is in the collection. We take a similar approach with the File System Rights property. Finally, we check the Access Control Type is Allow, rather than Deny. If all three parts are true, then the Acl object is passed down the pipeline where we just output the path to the file. The only problem is that this command does not check to see if a Deny rule supercedes the Allow rule.
We could also add a filter for files owned by MYLAPPY\Administrators.
? { $_.Owner -eq "MYLAPPY\Administrators" } ...
The problem with this approach is that the file we are looking for may be owned by a Domain Admin or some other service account with elevated permissions so we might have to do another collection of principles like we did above. The nice thing with MYLAPPY\Administrators is that group is the default owner of any object that is created by a member of the group, meaning John is an Administrator and he creates a file it will be owned by MYLAPPY\Administrators. Of course there are options in Windows to change this setting, but it is the default.
So there you have it. And by it, I mean a big, confusing, complex command. An now Hal is going to give it to you. And by it I mean a simple short easy to read command.
Hal says, "Unix is the bomb!"
Here's a reasonable Unix approximation for what Tim is trying to do. It's surprisingly not all that terse:
find / -type f -user root \( -perm -0020 -o -perm -0002 \) \
\( -perm -0100 -o -perm -0010 -o -perm -0001 \)
The basic idea is simple. We want to find executable files that are owned by root but which are group or world writable. "Files owned by root" is no problem: that's just "-type f -user root". The verbosity comes from how you have to specify permissions with find.
If I want to say "group or world writable", I end up having to specify each bit with its own "-perm -...." clause and then gang them together with "or" ("-o") and parens ("\( ... \)"). Similarly, defining "executable" means checking each of the three possible execute bits individually. I've often wanted find to have a terser syntax for doing this kind of thing.
But there's a solution for you in any event. Unix's much less granular ownership and permissions model makes things considerably easier on this side of the house than on Windows. | http://blog.commandlinekungfu.com/2010/12/episode-124-levelling-up.html | robots: classic

} | 764 | Introducing Search to your students
The NZ Curriculum describes Thinking as:
Using creative, critical and metacognitive processes to make sense of information, experiences and ideas
• Developing understandings
• Making decisions
• Shaping actions
• Constructing knowledge
• Inquiry is key…
So often we send students off to begin an inquiry without adequately preparing them for the task of making their initial search, and so we find them simply entering words or phrases into a search engine and accepting what they are presented with.
Here are some links to explore and get you thinking about how you might more effectively introduce the power of search to your students:
Google remains one of the most popular search engines, and has become synonymous with the idea of searching on the web. For a focus on NZ content try, or you can opt for the Maori Language version by clicking on the Māori link under the search bar.
Kosmix lets users explore the Web by topic, presenting a dashboard of relevent videos, photos, news, commentary, opinion, communities and links to related topics. Really useful for learners who would benefit from multimedia references, or those with literacy difficulties. Check out the link at the top of the page that will allow you to add Kosmix to the list of search engines in your browser’s search function.
Quintura is a visual search engine that returns a “cloud” of related concepts when a search word or phrase is entered. Learners can use the connected words in the cloud to refine their search and drill down to the level of detail they want. There’s also a very useful Kids version available that offers a certain level of filtering of unwanted sites.
Whatever search engine you choose it is important to have some understanding of the principles of Boolean search. This handy online tutorial is suitable for sharing with students to help them understand how to use the basic search logic operators of “and”, “or”, “not”.
boolify logo Boolify makes it easy for students to understand their web search by illustrating the logic of their search, and by showing them how each change to their search instantly changes their results. is an online social bookmarking site that you can use to keep a track of all the useful sites you come across with your searches. The benefits of an online bookmarking tool are:
• the ability to access your bookmarks from any computer
• the ability to share your bookmarks with others
• the ability for several people to contribute to the list
• the ability to connect with others who share similar interests

If you read Civil War history books for fun, you have something to share. If youre walking on this Earth, you have something to share.
I think my area of expertise, besides Powell and Spencer family history, would be online research techniques. Of course, I cover this extensively in my book, Genealogy Online, 8th Edition.
But to share briefly some pointers on this blog, here are some general tips on searching the Web for genealogy:
• Use phrases instead of single words in your searches. Type everal words that are relevant to your search. Typing Spencer genealogy Ohio will narrow a search well.
• Enclose phrases in quotes. Searching on the phrase Spencer family history without quotation marks will match all pages that have any of those three words included somewhere on the page, in any order, and not necessarily adjacent to each other.
• Searching with the phrase “Spencer family history” (with quotation marks) will usually get hits only on those pages that have those three words together.
• The more specific you are, the better. Searching for Irish genealogy databases will give you fewer, but closer, matches than searching for Irish genealogy. Use plus and minus signs in your searches. A word preceded by a plus sign (+) must appear on the page to be considered a match. A word preceded by a minus sign () must not appear on the page to be considered a match. No spaces can be between the plus and minus signs and the words they apply to. For example, entering
+Spencer -royal genealogy
would ask the search engine to find pages that contain the word Spencer, but not the word royal, with the word genealogy preferred, but optional. Most search engines would get some Spencer genealogy pages but leave out those that include Lady Diana, Princess of Wales.
• Every now and then, search for geneology instead of genealogy. You will be amazed at how many pages out there use this misspelling!

} | 515 | Dumars audio notes: Will Blalock is the Matt Leinart of the NBA draft
Justin Rogers | By Justin Rogers |
Follow on Twitter
on June 29, 2006 at 1:05 PM, updated June 05, 2007 at 3:19 PM
Joe Dumars tells WDFN Detroit that a player always slides in the draft, and this year it was Will Blalock. The Pistons expected him to go no later than early second round.
Q: How happy are you with Blalock falling to you at the end of the second round? Also, do we need to feed Cheick Samb a sandwhich?
A: The stats on Samb were a little bit of misinformation, he's closer to 220 pounds. We still need to get him a sandwich, but he's definitely not 195.
Q: Back to Blalock though, Sports Illustrated says he could have been a first-rounder.
A: Every year somebody ends up falling. He's the Matt Leinart of the NBA the way he slide down the board. We thought he'd be off the board, at the latest, in the early second round. Our goal going into the draft was to draft a young point guard to groom in the Pistons' system so that they could one day help us on the court.
Q: With free agency starting Saturday, are you going to be calling Arn Tellem at 12:01 on Friday night and make the first offer for Ben Wallace?
A: Nah man, I'm not calling at 12:01. I'll talk to him Saturday mid-morning sometime. I see Ben all the time, I can see him out my office window right now. This isn't like some free agent I have to impress by reaching out to them the minute free agency starts.
Q: Are you confident that Ben will be back then?
A: I want Ben back, Ben wants to be back, but we both know it's a business. If we can work these numbers out, it's going to happen, but if not, he's going to explore his other options. It's not that difficult. If we work the numbers out, it will happen.
Q: Is Bonzi Wells a guy you're considering with the mid-level exception? Are there any other guys that you are considering that you can name?
A: It's not a very big free agent class, but any of the top five or six guys can really help your team out. So much has to play out before we start worrying about how to spend the mid-level exception. You have to wait and make the decision on how to spend that money based on what Ben decides to do. I have at least a half dozen contingency plans based on how the Wallace situation pans out.
Q: We know you're a big baseball fan, what are you thoughts on the Tigers?
A: Great pitching, and with the great pitching it seems like they're getting timely hitting. It's amazing to see how the good pitching is spreading to the whole team. I can't wait to get the basketball business out of the way so I can get down there and see a bunch of games. | http://blog.mlive.com/fullcourtpress/2006/06/dumars_audio_notes_will_blaloc.html | robots: classic

} | 467 | A Consistent Approach to Teenagers
Flip Flop Heaven
We live in a society that has adopted the idea that there is no true north in life by which to set your direction. This idea is called relativism. Because of this, many teenagers are confused and cynical about the world they live in. Without absolute truths to anchor them, they are drifting in a sea of ideas without a compass.
Mothers can explain the world to teenagers so that they don’t feel confused. My mother and I had some deep conversations when I was a teenager that helped me to sort out my feelings and bonded me to her. A mother must be grounded in order to explain the world to her children.
Extreme relativism says that all points of view are valid while extreme absolutism argues for one correct view. I think most people are somewhere in the middle. Examples of relativism are the idea all religions are good or the saying “to each his own.” If everything is good for someone somewhere than nothing is bad.
Teenagers need to see the world in black and white before they can appreciate the shades of gray. They get confused when adults say that under-age drinking is bad but offer to provide alcohol if they drink in a supervised home. They become cynical when adults display outward signs of religious devotion but in private they act like God doesn’t care what they do. Teens thrive when life makes sense because adults are consistent in what they say and do.
Moms who are consistent make decisions based on true principles instead of on whims and fancies. They have studied the principles and adopted them. True principles are taught in religion, can be found by studying history and also govern the natural world. The law of the harvest is and example of a true principle that governs the natural world. It means that whatever seed or idea you plant will grow and bear a predictable kind of fruit which can be tasted to know if it is good.
In my own life I have searched the Bible and tried to teach it’s principles to my children. They listen to what I teach and do what I do. I have only been able to teach them what I am able to demonstrate in my own life. For example they don’t keep their rooms clean because I don’t keep mine clean even though I have repeatedly asked them to pick up their things. Living in a way that is consistent with my core values is not something I’ve perfected but an ideal. I’m trying and my kids are willing to try also. My teenage daughter actually encourages me to be better by her example. We are stronger together.

} | 121 | Perry taps two S.A. area residents for ETF Advisory Committee
TxETF.jpgGov. Rick Perry on Monday appointed one San Antonio resident and reappointed an area business leader to the Texas Emerging Technology Advisory Fund Committee.
T. Randall Cain, a managing partner at the San Antonio office of Ernst & Young, will serve on the committee that reviews proposals eligible for state money under the Emerging Technology Fund for a term set to expire in 2011. Cain was one of five new members appointed by Perry.
He will join William Morrow, a Spring Branch resident and chairman and CEO of CSIdentity, on the committee. Morrow was one of four members reappointed by Perry.

} | 115 | Lost: Puzzle it out
Head over to Barnes & Noble or Lostpuzzles.com and get your hands on one of the various “Lost” jigsaw puzzles.
There are four different puzzles and when you complete each one, they give spoilers and hints to the show. And when you merge all four puzzles into one big picture, it supposedly reveals something big.
Who knows? Could be something big? But it is probably just a flashback.
I do know that I am on the tippy of my toes waiting for the season three premier next Wednesday.

} | 208 | Ellis wants Texans to know: voter ID law not in effect
In a letter, Ellis told Andrade that his constituents have been asking questions about the law, which is held up in federal court.
“As you know, with the litigation surrounding S.B. 14 winding its way through the judicial process, this has led to a great deal of press coverage. Unfortunately, the increased media coverage often fails to clarify with complete certainty that Texas’ primary elections will continue to operate under the law as it existed prior to S.B. 14?s changes,” Ellis wrote.
The Secretary of State is the state’s chief election officer.
“I urge you to reach out to the public, both through the media and otherwise, and make clear what has become confusing and overly-complicated issue,” Ellis said in his letter.
Andrade’s spokesman, Rich Parsons, said the secretary of state has notified all local election administrations that the law is on hold and uses briefings and media to get the word out that existing law will apply for the primary elections.

} | 307 | Get ready for a N.J. government shutdown; Pension reform bills are a start; Save family planning funding
on April 03, 2010 at 5:11 AM
chris-christie.jpg Governor Chris Christie answers questions during a meeting with the Star-Ledger editorial board.
-- Assemblyman Lou Greenwald wants to allow local governments to levy their own income and sales taxes. His plan has flaws, but he deserves credit for thinking outside the box. Monday, March 29.
-- Gov. Chris Christie vows he will never sign a budget that extends the income surtax on the state’s wealthiest families. Democrats vow they will not pass a budget without that surtax. So brace yourself. We are headed for a collision that could easily result in a government shutdown on July 1. Tuesday, March 30.
-- The pension reform bills recently signed into law by Gov. Chris Christie move New Jersey closer to the fiscal sanity that has eluded the state for decades. And while these were historic strides, the Legislature should take even bigger steps, as the governor has asked. Wednesday, March 31.
-- The tension between the United States and Afghanistan is rooted in our unhappiness with the corruption and incompetence of the Karzai regime, which fuels the insurgency and helps pave the way for a return of the Taliban and their medieval allies in al Qaeda. Thursday, April 1.
-- Gov. Chris Christie’s decision to eliminate $7.4 million for family planning would cripple a program that helps thousands of young, low-income women at risk for unplanned pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases and other illnesses. It makes little sense when the services it supported help avert much higher costs that result from delayed health check-ups. Friday, April 2.

As a homeowner, you may be familiar with nematodes. Nematodes are used as a solution to grub problems, but did you know that not all nematodes are beneficial? There's a difference between beneficial and parasitic nematodes. When nematodes are part of your Vancouver lawn care, you want to make sure you're applying the right kind. Nutri-Lawn Vancouver lawn maintenance services can help you choose the proper nematode type, but it's good to know about the different types yourself, as well. Here is some information straight from the pros at Nutri-Lawn Vancouver.
Beneficial nematodes munch on grubs
Beneficial nematodes offered by Nutri-Lawn Vancouver are focused on hunting and chowing on grubs. These won't hurt your lawn as they tunnel through looking for their prey. They're used as the most organic and harmless way to remove harmful grubs from your lawn. They're effective at their jobs, and won't attack your grass in any way.

Harm to humans
Regardless of the type of nematode in your lawn, neither type is going to harm your kids or yourself. Nematodes are disinterested in human or animal flesh. It's mainly this reason that beneficial nematodes are highly encouraged as a solution for grubs – they're completely harmless while remaining entirely effective, unlike harsh chemical insecticides.
