Canada, Mexico, U.S. Advance to Finals of World Geography Contest
Tuesday, August 7, 2007
SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Teams from Canada, Mexico and the United States will face off later this week in the final round of the eighth National Geographic World Championship.
Students from the three North American countries beat out competition from 14 other nations. Those contestants included teens from as far afield as Argentina, Australia, Ghana, India, Russia, Singapore and the United Kingdom.
The teams advanced past a written exam and an outdoor mapping activity held this morning at SeaWorld Adventure Park.
The National Geographic Society organizes the event every two years.
Four-time champion the United States will defend its title at a final at SeaWorld's Shamu Stadium on Thursday.

BANGALORE: Top social scientists from across the world will debate on the frontiers of knowledge society, one of the fastest growing and extensively studied concepts all over.
The meet will be held at the National Institute of Advanced Studies on January 8 and 9, after a session in Hyderabad, to be followed by one in Delhi. The meeting will ponder over how in India, as in Europe, visions of a knowledge society have brought science, technology and innovation to the forefront of politics, democracy and public life.
The scientists will try to understand what knowledge society is, whose knowledge counts, what the drivers of change and contending perspectives are.
Following the work of the National Knowledge Commission India and Knowledge Society report in Europe, there is much to be learned. Scientists will explore what is common between European and Indian visions of a knowledge society and whether these form a basis for an alternative vision of the global future to that of a borderless market.
Three lead authors of the European report will discuss their findings with Indian academics, policymakers and activists.
Brian Wynne, professor of science studies and associate director of the UK ESRC, Centre for Economic and Social Aspects of Genomics, Lancaster University, Sheila Jasanoff Pforzheimer, professor of science and technology studies at the John F Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University, and Andy Stirling, professor and director of science at the Science and Technology Policy Research Unit and co-director of the STEPS Centre, University of Sussex, will lead the discussions. The lead respondent will be Shiv Visvanathan, professor of sociology of science and technology at DA-IIC, Gandhinagar.
Academics, civil society members, policy commentators, and activists will join the debate to bring in India specific perspectives. The series is being coordinated by Esha Shah, research fellow at the Institute of Development Studies and a member of the STEPS Centre, University of Sussex.
The event is being supported by the UK-India Education Research Initiative through a joint collaboration between the STEPS Centre, which is hosted by the Institute of Development Studies and Science and Technology Research (SPRU), at the University of Sussex, UK and the Centre for Public Policy at the Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore.
Other noted academics who will participate in the debate include E Haribabu, department of philosophy, University of Hyderabad; M V Sastry, Centre for World Solidarity, Hyderabad; Shambu Prasad, Knowledge in Civil Society, Hyderabad; Raghavendra Gadagkar, Centre for Contemporary Studies, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore; Ashish Rajyadhyaksha, Centre for Studies in Culture and Society, Bangalore; Rohan D'Souza, Centre for Studies in Science and Policy, JNU, New Delhi; Irfan Habib, National Institute of Science, Technology and Development Studies, New Delhi, and Suman Sahai, Gene Campaign, New Delhi.

While fewer hours of daylight and cooler days ahead might trigger anxiety about the inevitable blizzards and subsequent MBTA delays, there's some good news: squash season is upon us. Study up on all the squash varieties you may find in your Boston Organics boxes, so you can make the most of these versatile vehicles of flavor.
Stone fruit has an element of nostalgia, bringing to mind memories of sweet, sticky hands on a hot summer day—picking through pint containers of little yellow-orange fruit at the farmers’ market and popping open vats of aromatic preserves put by for colder times. Luckily, we don’t have to wait until peak summer in New England to enjoy organic stone fruit season!
Fresh organic herbs are easy to enjoy on their own, with their leaves of many shapes and sizes, and distinct fragrances that make you want to walk around with a bundle tied to your nose. But it can be hard to keep track of them all, and to figure out how to use them while the tender leaves are still fresh. Boston Organics is here to help you keep these flavorful plants straight so you can use them with ease.
Before it was dubbed America’s “superfood,” kale was an obscure green that could only be found at farmers’ markets, independent health food stores and, of course, at Boston Organics. Kale has become so popular that it’s almost hard to remember a time before it was the ultimate emblem of healthy food.
But now that kale is everywhere, there are so many different kinds of kale out there, it’s hard to keep them all straight.
Here’s a quick guide to the most common varieties of kale we carry, so the next time it shows up in your organic grocery delivery you won’t be asking yourself “What the kale is that?!”
With so many varieties of organic leafy greens coming from our local farmers each week, it can be difficult to figure out which is which. After all, they are all green and leafy!
Though these greens may appear similar at a glance, they are actually quite unique. We want to help you celebrate these special greens in all their delicious, nutritious glory, so we've put together this quick visual guide to help you identify the common greens in your produce box.
As children we were all taught how important it is to eat our dark green leafy vegetables, but few of us realized just how many kinds of organic leafy greens there are out there!
We're always looking for ways to cook healthy meals while saving time and money.
To help you get the most out of your produce deliveries, we created a Weekly Meal Planner so you can organize and plan all of your weekly meals with your Boston Organics produce!
As the days start to get shorter, pomegranates are coming into season, though for us eating their seeds means we get to enjoy a burst of sweet and tart flavor, and not a stint in the underworld.

Ketamine decreases seizure burden in super-refractory status epilepticus
Super refractory status epilepticus (SRSE) is one of the most challenging disorders to treat in the neurointensive care unit. Often, clinicians must resort to less-established treatments with regards to efficacy and safety. A recent study suggests Ketamine treatment was associated with a decrease in seizure burden in patients with SRSE. The research has been published in the journal Neurology on October 20, 2020.
Super-refractory status epilepticus (SRSE) is specified by ongoing or recurring clinical or electroencephalographic seizure activity 24 h or more after initiation of anesthetic treatment. Ketamine (KET) has a strong antagonistic effect on the NMDA–glutamate receptor. Its half-life is 2–3 h, and KET undergoes extensive hepatic metabolism. Animal models (hippocampal electrical stimulation or pilocarpine animal models) have demonstrated the efficacy of KET in refractory status epilepticus (RSE) in rats, even in late stages, when GABA-ergic drugs have failed. The most significant adverse effects of KET are hallucinations and sympathetic adrenergic effects. To test ketamine infusion efficacy in the treatment of super-refractory status epilepticus (SRSE), researchers evaluated the patients with SRSE who were treated with ketamine. They further assessed the effect of high doses of ketamine on brain physiology as reflected by invasive multimodality monitoring (MMM).
Researchers studied a series of 68 patients with SRSE who were admitted between 2009 and 2018, treated with ketamine, and monitored with scalp EEG. Among 68 patient,s 11 underwent MMM at the time of ketamine administration. They compared patients who had seizure cessation after ketamine initiation to those who did not. The mean age of patients enrolled was 53 ± 18 years, among which 46% were female. The average dose of ketamine infusion was 2.2 ± 1.8 mg/kg/h, with median duration of 2 (1–4) days and the average dose of midazolam was 1.0 ± 0.8 mg/kg/h at the time of ketamine initiation and was started at a median of 0.4 (0.1–1.0) days before ketamine.
Researchers noted that the seizure burden was decreased by at least 50% within 24 hours of starting ketamine in 55 (81%) patients, with complete cessation in 43 (63%). Upon generalized linear mixed effect model, they found that ketamine was associated with stable mean arterial pressure (odds ratio 1.39) and with decreased vasopressor requirements over time. They found no effect on intracranial pressure, cerebral blood flow, or cerebral perfusion pressure.
The authors concluded, "Ketamine treatment was associated with a decrease in seizure burden in patients with SRSE. Our data support the notion that high-dose ketamine infusions are associated with decreased vasopressor requirements without increased intracranial pressure".

the 2 pairs of guys who worked on the install over those 2 days were super - polite, and tidy, and courteous, and worked all the custom parts of the job look really well done. Thanks for all you did Dori to help me through the buying process, to the inside staff who set things up and arranged the installation teams, and to the 4 installers for making 2 days not so much of an interruption to my life.
Lyle Waito, Home Owner
A great big thank you goes out to you and the Hogg Mechanical Technician for fixing my 84 year old mother-in-law’s home furnace. The unit stopped working during the night of the 3rd of March and you came to the rescue within an hour notice on the 4th, which was a very cold day.
Reinhold Schuster, Waterloo Region
We were looking to minimize our costs which meant a less efficient unit. However, the gentlemen from Hogg Heating & Air Conditioning showed us with the saveONenergy incentives available and the reduction in operating costs, that we could actually be further ahead in the first year if we bought a high efficiency unit.
Bruce Kennedy, Stance Healthcare
We wanted to send a quick note from both of us to thank you and your installers on the excellent job they did installing our new Air Conditioning and Furnace. Please pass on our comments to your installers as they are hard workers and really know how to do an excellent job!
Ron and Sharon Giesler, Home Owners
I just wanted to let you know the new furnace you installed for us on March 21/13 works great. Thanks again for the prompt service.

The nation’s capital treats gun owners like criminals. Even after a Supreme Court smackdown in 2008, Washington still has the country’s most stringent gun-control laws. The city’s anti-firearm ordinances are so convoluted and beyond the norm that average Americans can find themselves in big trouble for doing something that is entirely legal in almost every state. The District, however, is slowly changing its tune.
The Washington Times has confirmed that D.C. city council Chairman Phil Mendelson will introduce a bill this week to partially decriminalize possession of unregistered firearms and ammunition for nonresidents. Mr. Mendelson, at-large Democrat, expects to announce the proposed changes in a press conference Monday. His legislation will allow those arrested in the District on firearms charges to choose administrative disposition of the charge, which means paying a fine and not getting a criminal record.
D.C. residents caught with unregistered guns or ammunition will still be charged with the misdemeanor crime, which carries a maximum penalty of a $1,000 fine and a year in jail. It’s unclear if visitors who have already pled guilty in the District will have the opportunity to expunge their record if this law is enacted.
This change will affect quite a few people. Since 2009, 224 nonresidents have been arrested for possession of unregistered ammunition. One of those was former Army Specialist Adam Meckler. The medic had been out of the military for just two weeks when he was arrested at the VFW in Washington in September because building security found 14 long-forgotten 9mm rounds in his backpack. He didn’t have a gun with him, so he was surprised that having a harmless round of ammunition could be considered a crime.

The unspoken link between women and winning
Angela Ahrendts quitting her role as Burberry chief executive earlier last month prompted collective groans.
Twitter went into a tizzy with the news being described as “sad”, “disappointing” and “shocking”.
The day was written off as a loss in the toxic gender equality debate, as Ahrendts’ departure leaves only two women running FTSE100 companies: Carolyn McCall at easyJet and Alison Cooper at Imperial Tobacco.
But what’s wrong with someone moving to head up the retail division of Apple, one of the world’s coolest companies, as Ahrendts will?
Had it been an Angelo Ahrendts making the move, would the news get the same reaction?
Yet the issue of gender balance in the boardroom isn’t just about the boardroom, but other business activity too. And this issue isn’t just about ticking diversity boxes, or moral or social obligations, either. This is about well rehearsed commercial savvy and hard business benefits. For example, if you’re going into pitches with all-male teams (a frequent sight) you could be missing business and growth opportunities.
How a lack of gender balance can be commercially damaging
The world of work still has testosterone-fuelled sectors where men are the face of the business pitching to clients.
If your company is one of them, then chances are you’re losing out.
Yvonne Smyth, Director at Hays, the recruiting experts, thinks that including more women in not just pitching but all sales teams is essential.
“Businesses are increasing acknowledging the fact that having a male-only pitching team is commercially backward.
“They understand that it’s important to have diverse opinion for not only preparing a pitch but also a truly representative the face of your company to clients. With a balanced sales team you’re able to put a richer product on the table at point of sale.”
So what hope is there for male-dominated sectors?
Think of male-dominated sectors and automobile is one of the first to spring to mind. After all, how often have you seen female car salespersons in showrooms or girls manoeuvring steering wheels in car adverts?
But rules of the games are fast-changing.
Take Shropshire-based automobile company Greenhous. The company has an all-female sales floor at its Toyota showroom in Shrewsbury.
Richard Potts, franchise director at Greenhous, says: “The female sales team happened by chance but is a great indication that the times are changing in a very male-dominated industry.”
Deanna Christian, the new sales manager of the company, feels that knowing the brand inside out has given her the confidence to run the car showroom: “It is great that we have an all-female sales team and it proves that more women are keen to enter this sector of business than ever before.
“The automotive industry can be seen as a traditional one that is majority male, but things are clearly changing in this respect.”
As it stands, only 1% of women in the UK are working in skilled trades compared to a fifth of young men, according to research by Trade Union Congress’ recent study.
The study also found that three times as many young women are employed in low-paid, low-skilled jobs – such as office and hotel cleaning – than there were 20 years ago.
Sectors that are typically high-earning aren’t immune to the problem of gender imbalance either.
Insurance is a case in point – women are rarely sighted, particularly at senior level.
Katie Small, board director at insurance broker R K Harrison, thinks the reason her sector is turning a corner too as businesses understand the importance of gender-balanced teams.
“Contrary to popular belief, the insurance sector is waking up to women. We’re in a people’s business where people buy from people. Clients are looking for people who understand their needs and requirements and will be able to facilitate them.
“If you have 10 people of the same sex and the same background, you’re only going to get one dynamic. In order to win clients, you need to be looking into different dimensions which can come only by having a diverse pool of talent.”
Small admits that the lack of females in the sector in part boils down to career aspirations.
“There are lot of women at entry level but they don’t come back after maternity leave. So the number of women in financial services companies boils down to aspirations and breaking old stereotypes of women taking care of the house and kids.”
Sharron Gunn is executive director, Commercial, at ICAEW. She says that the number of women and men coming into finance and accounting roles at entry level is now more 50/50, but there is a lack of women in senior roles because historically the industry has been far more male-dominated.
“All the research I’ve read about this really points to the fact that mixed-gender teams yield high performance and output,” she says. “But even when you might have a 50/50 [gender] split at the bottom end, you obviously get more women taking career breaks in their late 20s and early 30s, so again the imbalance comes in.”
Gunn says those women who do return to work often suffer from a lack of confidence that is steeped in worry that five years or so outside the workplace has left them out of touch.
From her perspective, ICAEW is running programmes to try to redress the imbalance at multiple stages of the talent pipeline: from talking to women in schools and universities to explain that you can do any subject to become an accountant and that it’s a viable career, through to support programmes for parents returning to work.
“It’s about making sure you’re not missing the talent pool,” she says.
Why companies should expect diversity from their supply chain
Smyth of Hays thinks that in order to shift the needle on gender balance, companies need to start actively exerting influence over their supply chain.
“It is now common and expected good practice that if you are a purchaser of services and genuinely believe that gender diversity is a good thing, you have a moral and commercial obligation to exert that influence down your supply chain.
“One of Britain’s biggest TV channels has EDI (equality diversity and inclusion) has a core pillar of its charter. It therefore ensures that companies in its own supply chain follow suit wherever possible, if they don’t they lose business.”
Helena Morrissey CBE is CEO, Newton Investment Management and founder of The 30% Club, an initiative to get 30% women into Britain’s boardrooms by 2015. She thinks investors can influence diversity in the companies they hold stakes in.
She wrote in LondonlovesBusiness.com’s print publication Securing Britain’s Talent:“Several of the member firms of the investor group are now ready to step up the pressure by making it clear they’ll abstain or vote against the election of the chair of the nominations committee (or the board chairman) if there’s not more action to achieve better balance.
“We see this as a key part of developing modern sustainable businesses of the future and therefore ones that deliver good returns for shareholders.”
The need for female role models
There is also a need for women to rise to the challenge and become role models who can exert opinion and encourage and nurture others.
Facebook’s chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg is a good example of that. When she stepped down from the board of Starbucks, she recommended 28-year-old female tech entrepreneur Clara Shih to replace her.
Shih is co-founder of Hearsay Social, a software company that helps big brands use social media to tap customers. She is mentored by Sandberg and gets career advice from her.
Shih said in a recent interview with LondonlovesBusiness.com: “Sheryl’s friendship, mentorship, and helpful insights have h
elped me realise it is perfectly normal to have doubts and insecurities, but we truly grow as leaders when we learn to overcome them and inspire our people to overcome their fears as well.”
Be it women in the boardroom or women in the sales pitching team, gender inequality can be nipped in the bud only if women take up more roles in all departments. Simply appointing a female non-executive director isn’t enough.
Here’s hoping that sometime soon, when someone like Angela Ahrendts gets a new job, we will be able to congratulate them without the gender issue making headlines.

After a week in two Utah ski resorts, I’ve decided that despite its recent political indiscretions, America is ultimately redeemable. I admit that I braced myself for the possible irritations of a red state as we touched down in Salt Lake City, but as of yet I’ve only seen one ‘Make America Great Again’ cap: so far, so good.
One of the oldest resorts in the country, Alta is a 2,200-acre, 10,500-feet high skier’s paradise. Due in part to its high altitude, it resides in a unique micro-climate that produces what the locals call ‘champagne powder’: delectably light, fluffy snow that makes you feel like you’re skiing through icing sugar. And as we were told by our shuttle driver, a man so cheery he could be a Latter Day Saint from The Book of Mormon, this season has been one of the best for years. As well as the great snow, Alta is studded with trees – which in combination make for unbeatable off-piste revelry. I should also mention that it’s one of the last three resorts in the US to be skier-only. I hate to sound like an old lady, but it sure is good to get away from those darn snowboarders.
Snowbird feels very different. We only spent a day there (and five in Alta), but my first impression is that it is a little more industrial, a little less small-town, a little less old-school. The pistes are wide as motorways and more plentiful than in Alta, with 2,500 acres to explore. There seems to be less opportunity for off-piste shenanigans, but I’m sure that the large variety of runs can keep winter holidaymakers occupied for at least a week.
I love the names at US resorts. They remind me of the Dulux colour catalogues that kept me entertained for hours when I was younger. Alta’s lifts and pistes have evocative titles like Lone Pine, Sleepy Hollow and Sugar Loaf (the latter of which is reminiscent of childhood Willy Wonka-inspired daydreams), while Snowbird’s are sillier: Oh My God, Whodunnit and Who Cares sound like the only lines in a very short, very bad mystery play.
Eateries on the mountain seem invariably large and cafeteria-style, and are stacked with choice. Alf’s at Alta does a great Reuben, and to my delight York peppermint patties are only 25 cents apiece. Watson’s (also Alta) is similar, but boasts a better sauce counter. Snowbird’s The Summit, a brutal piece of architecture jutting out of the cliff at 11,000 feet, has the best views this side of Nevada; the salad bar and artisan pizzas aren’t bad either. We weren’t vastly impressed by Snowbird on the whole – doubtless influenced by the poor conditions that day – but the vistas of the Wasatch Range from The Summit’s soaring windows are worth the trip alone.
The jewel in the crown of the culinary scene, however, is Alta’s Rustler Lodge. It’s a classic ski lodge, replete with mahogany panelling, paintings of deer, ubiquitous wood-burning fires, retro skis pinned to the walls and framed posters from the 1950s encouraging passersby to ‘ski for health and vigour!’. The staff are wonderfully friendly, and the restaurant – which overlooks the evergreen-sprinkled slopes – is diverse in menu and universally delicious. If you ever go, hope and pray that they have the homemade cookies-and-cream ice cream on the specials list. Seriously.
The attitude of the locals in Alta is heartwarming. The geniality of every person we met – their interest in where we came from, their fondness for the area, their excitement at sharing details of the snow forecast with us – was without exception and has restored my faith in Americans.
It’s our last evening here; on to San Francisco in the morning. Excited though I am for a taste of the Golden City, it is now with beer in hand (that I am totally of age to drink, Mom), watching the lacy, melon-tinged clouds sink behind the peaks that I think: it can’t get much better than this.


Profile: M K Environmental, Inc. specializes in ground water soil remediation systems. We also deal with water sealed liquid ring systems. These are typically used when a vacuum is required, and dual extraction is desired. Total fluids system operates by pulling all the recovered air and groundwater through the liquid ring pump and then separating the air from the water in the separator tank. Oil sealed liquid ring systems use a special type of mineral oil for the sealing fluid instead of water. The oil is re-circulated in a closed loop process with an oil-air heat exchanger to keep oil temperatures 150-170° F.

WASHINGTON – These are dark days in the political life of Nancy
Pelosi, who for the past four years has rivalled Hillary Clinton as the most
powerful woman in American politics.
Not only is she losing her job as Speaker of the House of Representatives –
a position she struggled for decades to win – the 70-year-old California
Democrat is facing a revolt among erstwhile political allies who now want her
purged from the party’s leadership as well.
Even President Barack Obama spoke about Pelosi in the past tense on Friday.
But Congress’s most polarizing – and effective – liberal isn’t done quite yet.
Even as critics blame her for the Democrats’ historic midterm losses on Nov.
2, Pelosi is mounting a vigorous campaign to become House minority leader in
the next session of Congress.
With party leadership elections set for next week, the 12-term lawmaker
contends her combative style and hard-nosed negotiating skills are needed more
than ever now that Republicans are wielding power on Capitol Hill.
Moreover, Pelosi disputes the notion her personal unpopularity with voters
cost Democrats control of the House.
“The reason the election results are what they are is because we have 9.5-
per-cent unemployment in our country. We didn’t lose the election because of me,
” Pelosi said Friday in an interview with National Public Radio, referring to
the Democrats’ 61-seat loss on Nov. 2.
Her point is debatable. While plenty of anger was directed at Obama and the
White House, Republicans felt voters’ dislike of Pelosi was palpable enough
that they ran ads featuring her in 48 states.
The Republican candidate in Pelosi’s own San Francisco district, for example,
aired a spot depicting the incumbent as the Wicked Witch of the West.
“The reason (Republicans) had to try to take me down is because I’ve been
effective in fighting the special interests in Washington, D.C.,” Pelosi says.
“Our (Democratic) members understand they made me a target, because I’m
Well, not all of them understand.
In the 10 days since the midterms, two dozen House Democrats – most of them
members of the moderate “Blue Dog” caucus – have signalled they want someone
other than Pelosi in charge.
Exhibit No. 1 in the case being made against Pelosi? Her approval rating
fell to 30 per cent as support for economic stimulus and government bailouts
waned in the country, making her as unpopular as George W. Bush was when he
Illinois Democrat Mike Quigley this week described Pelosi as “politically
The whisper campaign against Pelosi began in earnest this week. One lawmaker
drafted a letter to Pelosi, on behalf of Democrats defeated on Nov. 2, saying
her continued leadership would damage the party’s efforts to compete in 2012 in
“Republicans will further demonize you, and in so doing, they will scare
potential (Democratic) candidates out,” said the letter, which was leaked to
the media but never sent to Pelosi.
The White House has not exactly rushed to Pelosi’s defence.
Speaking to reporters Friday while attending the APEC summit in Japan, Obama
had kind words – but no endorsement – for Pelosi to remain in leadership.
“I think Speaker Pelosi has been an outstanding partner for me,” the U.S.
To be sure, few Democrats criticize Pelosi’s ability to secure votes. She
played a leading role in persuading reluctant members of her caucus to support
unpopular health-care legislation last spring.
On Nov. 2, many of those Democrats lost their re-election bid because of
Indeed, the biggest problem facing Pelosi’s critics is that their ranks have
been significantly depleted – 28 Blue Dog Democrats lost and won’t be returning
to Capitol Hill.
So far the only Democrat offering to stand against Pelosi is North Carolina
Representative Heath Shuler.
“It will be very tough. It is probably a race we can’t win. But we need a
moderate voice in the Democratic Party,” said Shuler.
This week, two lawmakers seeking more time to organize against Pelosi –
Ohio’s Marcy Kaptur and Oregon’s Peter DeFazio – asked for the postponement of
leadership elections next Wednesday.
“We should fully understand the causes of our historic losses before we
begin the process of rebuilding,” they wrote. “If we do not to learn from our
losses we will remain in the minority until we do learn.”
Pelosi argues Democrats need to show strength not weakness, particularly
with Republicans intent on repealing major legislation like health-care reform.
She might also find herself at odds with the White House, which this week
signalled a willingness to extend Bush-era tax cuts for wealthy Americans.
The sign of compromise left House liberals cold.
“My motivation for running is . . . to continue the work we did in the
previous administration, to preserve Social Security, to protect what we did
for health-care reform and Wall Street reform,” Pelosi told NPR, sounding
confident in her chances.
“I do so with the overwhelming support of my caucus, not the unanimous

How to Run Away
MindLetter post written by Dr Kitty Wheater.
This week, a story from dog land...
How To Run Away
Ben the collie is a bolter. When he was growing up, he bolted incessantly. He could escape from any nook or cranny. He would disappear over the hills, and farmers would ring, angry and worried for their sheep. Eventually his owners kept him in a room with one window six feet up. He got out of that, too. Afterwards, they kept him chained. When Pam took him, at two years old, they were going to have him shot. You cannot have a runaway dog in sheep country in the north of Scotland.
Ben began to bolt because he was a creature of inquiring mind, keen nose, and vast lupine energy. What else is a dog to do when the hills are calling? But it is hard to discern the moment when Ben stopped running towards, and began to run away. Was it the first time he was locked in a room, or the twentieth; was it when they put him on a chain, or when the neighbourhood dogs, sensing a trapped animal, pinned him on it; was it when his owners stopped reprimanding him for his forays, and started reprimanding him for his character? Somewhere along the line, Ben became a ‘bad dog’. After that, one can imagine, there was nothing left to lose.
When Ben moved to Edinburgh with Pam, he continued to bolt. Sometimes he disappeared for hours at night. You cannot chase a dog in the dark through a city of gardens and stairwells and woods and alleys and vertiginous steps, so Pam left the front window open and went to sleep. He always came back.
And then he stopped bolting at night. He stopped bolting almost entirely. There was just one thing.
I have spent an hour walking up and down in the woods of the Hermitage of Braid, whistling. I have picked up the tennis ball abandoned at first whiff of a grey-furred tail. I have listened for the chatter of irate squirrels in a tree at the foot of which my beloved canine friend will be sitting, open-mouthed, staring upwards, riveted, transported by a thrill I can only imagine. I have sat on the tree-stump for half an hour, waiting, growing cold, being steadily eaten by ants. I have looked in vain for the dart of black and white in the trees, and I have both sent and answered the iMessage call for more troops. Sometimes, recovering Ben the bolter is a two-woman job.
At first it wracked the nerves. In dog land, there is nothing more awful than losing someone else’s dog. I feared the worst: cars, barbed wire, a dog’s dizzyingly infinite capacity to roam, thieves who would see only a handsome purebred face (good luck to them, really. He'd be gone again in the blink of an eye.). Whenever the Olympian dash happened, my stomach dropped and something icy gripped my heart. By God, a border collie can run fast when it is running towards a rapid-dashing critter. It was small consolation that Ben the bolter, the bad dog who spent his young years on a chain, had finally learned to run away for sheer joy.
But he always comes back. And in his coming back, there is tremendous delight. As he crests the hill, as he courses the path towards me, as he kicks up leaves and splashes beneath his perfect paws, there is beatific pleasure on his smiling dog-face. Who knows why it’s this whistle that he responds to, rather than the last, but there is, it seems, a moment when the draw of the people who love him is greater than the pull of the elusive wild. It turns out that all the while – up crag and round tree, behind boulder and down-valley – he knew where we were, and how to get back. And there’s only one way to describe the speed with which he returns: Ben the bolter bolts towards us as if we’re the best squirrels he’s ever seen.
What are we to make of this canine tail? It is not, after all, only dogs that run away. We are all escape artists, in our own way, and in our own time. We absent ourselves into distraction, desire, fantasy, work, and play. And some of this is joyful, without doubt. We find a thrill in being alive, in playing with possibility, in chasing what can't be caught. We too run for the hills, and the adventures of the city under darkness, and the teeth-grinding frenzy of primeval triumph, and the life-affirming luxury of a roll in the mud. (It takes all sorts.)
Other parts of our running away may be shrouded in shame. We do it in secret and tell no-one, not even ourselves. We judge it before we truly understand it; like many have done before us, and even to us, we forsake deeper self-knowledge in favour of denial or self-blame. Perhaps part of understanding our own stories is to come to see how as living beings, even our most misguided boltings will be in some way towards life, and health. Of course we run from the locked room and the chain. Of course we run from the forces that tell us we are bad. Running away is not the problem. The problem is when we don’t know what we’re running from, or why, and how we might create a life that’s worth running back to.
Because isn’t that what we want, in the end? Not to live an abstemious life, without desire or joy, in which to fence ourselves like an errant dog; but a life with a centre, a gravitational pull of steady delight, from which we can run and play with occasional wild abandon - always knowing where the heart is, where we will return, and why we want to. It takes time and intention to figure this out. We will run away over and over again in our lives, while we do; and each time, we have another chance to figure out a little more. If you’re up for it, run with your eyes wide open, and leave the front window ajar. You'll come home when you’re ready.

Wi-Fi booster apps are the future of personalized home networking and remote troubleshooting. There are many on the market, including our own, the MyHitron app. This page is going more in-depth on an app related to the Wi-Fi mesh system called Plume and how it compares to MyHitron.
The Plume Adaptive Wi-Fi system, Plume for short, is a Wi-Fi mesh system. Like many mesh Wi-Fi systems, Plume offers an app called HomePass. The Plume HomePass app is designed for Plume subscribers.
How the Plume Wi-Fi app (HomePass) works is it allows Plume subscribers to optimize, adapt, and add features to their connected home system. In other words, subscribers can personalize and control their Plume Wi-Fi mesh system from the app on their smartphone.
The app gives subscribers a visual display of their connected Wi-Fi system. With the app, subscribers can view network connection and performance, see where all of the “pods” are located throughout the home, customize features, and reduce the need for technician costs and scheduling.
To get the Plume app, you need to invest in the entire Plume Wi-Fi mesh system, since the app syncs with the Plume Wi-Fi pods. Wi-Fi mesh systems can be expensive.
You can get a similar personalized home network management app experience that meets your budget needs with the MyHitron app.
The MyHitron app is a self-serve home Wi-Fi management and optimization tool. It lets you manage, personalize, optimize and troubleshoot your entire home network from an app on your smartphone. The MyHitron app features include:
- Installing everything yourself, so no need for your Internet service provider (ISP) to come to your home
- Performing Internet speed tests
- Configuring and control your network security
- Enabling parental controls
- “Self-heal” feature for troubleshooting and resolving Wi-Fi issues from your home, eliminating the wait on hold for technical support
- Managing all devices connected to your network
- Easy access whenever you need it from your smart device
And, ISPs can add services to the MyHitron app, such as:
- Showing billing information
- Identifying if circuits need to be addressed or fixed
- Identifying if your network is too congested and needs an extender
- And more!

Feinstein Goes Public With CIA's Dirty Practices, Snowden Rolls Eyes
The CIA has accused the committee of hacking into its system to obtain the Panetta documents, but Feinstein said no such thing happened, and it's unclear whether the report had always been among the 6 million-plus pages, whether intentionally or not, or was added by a whistleblower. Sometime after the committee identified and began reviewing the Panetta documents, said Feinstein, "access to the vast majority of them was removed by the CIA. We believe this happened in 2010 but we have no way of knowing the specifics. Nor do we know why the documents were removed. The staff was focused on reviewing the tens of thousands of new documents that continued to arrive on a regular basis." Feinstein requested a full copy of the "Internal Panetta Review," to no avail. In January, she wrote to CIA Director John Brennan asking for an emergency meeting—after she learned that CIA personnel had conducted a "search" of the committee's offsite computers and network drive—and wrote another letter asking 12 specific questions about the CIA's actions, both of which have gone unanswered. Weeks later, Feinstein continued, she was told that the acting general counsel of the CIA had filed a crimes report with the Department of Justice concerning the committee staff's work.She concluded, "How Congress responds and how this is resolved will show whether the Intelligence Committee can be effective in monitoring and investigating our nation's intelligence activities, or whether our work can be thwarted by those we oversee." Snowden sent NBC News a statement on the matter, saying it is clear the CIA was playing "keep away" with the documents, but also saying some hypocrisy was at play. "It's equally if not more concerning that we're seeing another 'Merkel Effect,' where an elected official does not care at all that the rights of millions of ordinary citizens are violated by our spies, but suddenly it's a scandal when a politician finds out the same thing happens to them," Snowden said. The U.S. government's spying practices, revealed by Snowden, have encouraged a market of security- and privacy-intense mobile phones, including the Blackphone, from Silent Circle and Geeksphone, the Black phone, from Boeing, and a Privacy Phone from FreedomPop, which has nicknamed the device the "Snowden Phone." Follow Michelle Maisto on Twitter.
"The staff members who have been working on this study and this report have devoted years of their lives to it—wading through the horrible details of a CIA program that never, never should have existed. They have worked long hours and produced a report … unprecedented in the history of the Senate. They are now being threatened with legal jeopardy, just as the final revisions to the report are being made so that parts of it can be declassified and released to the American people," said Feinstein.

Also known as: Federal Park Ranger.
Park rangers, also known as conservation scientists, are environmental specialists who work in conjunction with landowners to observe and maintain untouched natural landscapes. Another interchangeable job title for park rangers is forester, the term most often used to describe men and women who tirelessly monitor and protect the state-owned natural resources of Canada and the United States.
The landowners that conservation scientists work alongside include the local government entities of provinces or states, federal governments, and private landowners as well. State and provincial authorities may employ conservation scientists in order to combat the ever-present threat of wild fires, or municipal governments may employ conservation scientists to protect reserved parklands from erosion. Private landowners may similarly hire foresters on a contractual basis to provide detailed recommendations on a wide range of land conservation efforts.
Many different variations of the job description of park rangers exist, but primarily speaking, park rangers fall into one of two broad categories: soil and water conservationists and range managers. Soil and water conservationists provide specific advice to landowners on issues related to irrigation and overall water quality. Range managers, on the other hand, have a more broad range of responsibilities such as providing educational services to the visitors of national parks.

The job duties of foresters may include protecting unspoiled natural resources from pollution, improving the conservation efforts of large forest areas, and managing the day-to-day operations of national parks. From the perspective of federally employed foresters, the most important job duty is maintaining the environmental integrity of natural resources. For example, foresters may ensure that the soil quality of alluvial river deposits remains within government standards, particularly when protected lands lie near an urban population.
Conservationists employed by ranchers and farmers often provide practical advice on how to improve the agricultural efficiency of a landscape by deploying objective scientific methods. These objective methods may include conducting a slew of tests in order to extrapolate the progression of land erosion. For ranchers in particular, water quality is a major concern since the survival of livestock and wildlife depends upon having a clean source of water nearby.
From an operational standpoint, park rangers may have to supervise the job responsibilities of forestry technicians and natural park workers. It is not uncommon for one senior conservation scientist to oversee the duties of a team of younger conservation scientists. Specifically, senior conservation scientists may defer the planning and execution of a controlled wildlife burn to subordinates, providing the final authorization to clear the land after a thorough inspection.
Preventing wildfires is arguably the most important job duty of park rangers. Every year thousands of square miles of open rangelands fall victim to the ravages of wildfires. Completely eliminating the risk of wildfires is an impossible feat, but park rangers can deploy a number of strategies to mitigate the risk to urban populations. These strategies may consist of clearing fire-prone areas with herbicides or bulldozers.
The job duties of foresters who work in conjunction with private landowners may include reviewing or negotiating the terms of contracts with forestry companies. Harvesting trees is a very common practice in the western regions of the United States and Canada. Foresters monitor the health of reserved forests by mitigating the risk of tree diseases or large insect infestations.
Park rangers work primarily in forests. However, park rangers may monitor the land quality of marshlands or large riverbeds as well. As such, traveling deep into a wide variety of wilderness is not uncommon.
Park rangers may work in isolated research facilities that provide a base of operations within the largest parks of North America such as Yellowstone National Park. These remote facilities may contain fully functioning laboratories that allow conservation scientists to perform tests on-site. In other settings, park rangers may have to coordinate with researchers at a nearby major university in order to find solutions to regionally specific problems.


Zoey - Protect endangered species - t-shirt
Zoey is a Vancouver Island marmot and can be found perambulating in small patches of south and west-facing sub-alpine and alpine meadows on the island. Zoey is a member of the squirrel family. They are herbivores and are listed as endangered due to habitat loss and degradation and continual low population numbers.
They can live up to 10 years in the wild, they live in family groups called colonies, hibernate in the winter, and have five distinct whistles/trills—more than any other marmot!
They are one of the rarest mammals in the world, and are the only Canadian-specific marmot.
Our MLAs are fighting for legislation to protect endangered species like Zoey.

After a summer of radio silence, San Jose finally agreed to drop charges against the 70-odd people who allegedly broke curfew during the city’s George Floyd protests.
But it’s unclear when news of the development would have reached defendants had San Jose Inside not inquired about Mayor Sam Liccardo shirking the same rule. The chain of events leading up to the announcement suggests that the city was scrambling.
Here’s how it went down.
As we reported on Sept. 3, the mayor broadcast his own curfew violations by publicly logging cycling routes showing him out past the 8:30pm cutoff on nights when the order was still in effect. In responding to questions about those maps, which Liccardo published on a social network for athletes called Strava, mayoral spokeswoman Rachel Davis mentioned the city’s decision as an aside.
In an email sent close to 9pm on Sept. 2, Davis wrote that Acting City Attorney Nora Frimann “determined that the city would not prosecute any curfew violators”—as long as that was their only charge. The DA, which already resolved a while ago not to prosecute standalone curfew violators, will figure out what to do with the rest.
We promptly responded to Davis by noting how the city’s determination is “huge news” and asking when it actually opted to forgo prosecution. Davis said she didn’t know and suggested that we reach out to the city attorney’s office. We did. Straightaway
Frimann confirmed Davis’s claim the next morning, about a few hours after our mayor-breaking-curfew story published.
“We’ve been reviewing the citations to confirm the nature of the incidents underlying each of the citations,” she wrote in an email. “We have concluded that we will not be bringing forward the municipal code curfew violations, nor any ancillary charge relating to the curfew violation itself, such as a failure to disperse.”
When did the city decide?
“There isn’t a particular date,” she told us. “We’ve been discussing over the past month or so once we had obtained and reviewed all of the citations and related police reports and did our analysis of the charges.”
Since a lot of the defendants we interviewed were bracing for their first court dates in the coming few weeks, we asked how the city planned to get word out about this milestone.
“We will be notifying those individuals for whom we have contact information that we will not be pursuing the curfew violation charges,” Frimann answered.
Will those respondents get a formal notice about whether or not to show up to their schedule arraignments, at least?
“Yes,” she replied, “that will be part of the letter that is sent out.”
Taking that to mean the letters were already on the way, we asked when they were mailed. Frimann, still on the morning of Sept. 3, clarified that her office was still “working on getting the letters out.”
Several hours later on Sept. 3, the Mercury News followed up on our story with reaction from POA President Sgt. Paul Kelly, who decried the no-go on prosecution as “a monumental failure in leadership” that led to “needless confrontations” between cops and the public. “City leaders need to figure out that not all protesters are peaceful and that some seek to cause harm and destruction,” Kelly told the newspaper. “Those that do must be held accountable instead of being appeased.”
Otherwise, Kelly added in reference to taggers recently targeting Liccardo’s home, “the mayor and council members better get to Home Depot and buy enough paint and home repair supplies because the unruly defund-the-police mob is headed to their homes next.”
When the Merc pressed Frimann on what prompted the city to change its mind on curfew prosecutions, the city attorney demurred.
“I don’t know that anything changed,” she said, in apparent disregard for the significant change of plans this presents for those who’d been bracing for upcoming arraignments.
Meanwhile, and perhaps more notably, the Merc’s follow-up included new information about the city’s rationale for eschewing curfew prosecutions.
Citing a confidential memo Frimann circulated after San Jose Inside’s Liccardo-outing-himself-on-Strava story went live, the Merc reported that the city based its pronouncement, at least in part, on a 1993 court case that questioned the legality of the curfew Los Angeles imposed during the Rodney King uprising.
People v. Continola overturned three test cases involving people arrested for curfew offenses while just walking or driving around town. Judges determined that police should have limited curfew citations to people who threatened to “imperil lives or property or prevent, hinder or delay” first responders or law enforcement.
We circled back with Frimann an hour or two after the Merc’s follow-up ran to ask about the same memo. She declined to share it, citing attorney-client privilege, and reiterated her claim of there being no “exact date” when the city ruled out prosecution.
According to Frimann, that the charging decision wasn’t disclosed sooner had more to do with recent leadership changes in the city attorney’s office after her predecessor Rick Doyle’s retirement and untimely death. “Because of the transition in the office and the circumstances of the last week with his passing,” she wrote, “we didn’t get a chance to move forward on this until today [ Sept. 3].”
On Sept. 4, in response to our request to see a copy of the letters being sent out to defendants—at least the ones for whom the city has valid contact information—Frimann shared the following pro forma template:
Re: Curfew Violation Citation
Dear [INSERT NAME]:
On May 31, 2020, the City Council for City of San Jose enacted a citywide emergency curfew order. The curfew lasted from May 31st to June 4, 2020, and the curfew each night was from 8:30 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. the next morning. The San Jose Police Department enforced the curfew by issuing citations to individuals failing to follow the curfew pursuant to San Jose Municipal Code section 8.08.260(B), which reads as follows:
“It shall be a violation of this Code for any person, during an emergency, to do any act forbidden by any lawful rule or regulation issued pursuant to this chapter if such act is to give or be likely to give assistance to the enemy or to imperil the lives or property of inhabitants of this city, or to prevent, hinder or delay the defense or protection thereof.”
On May 31, 2020, you were issued a citation for violating San Jose’s emergency curfew order, pursuant to San Jose Municipal Code section 8.08.260(B). The San Jose City Attorney’s Office has made a determination not to pursue charges against you for that citation. Consequently, you are not required to appear in court on the date listed on your citation.
If you have any questions, please call our office at (408) 535-1900 and leave a message.
Very truly yours,
NORA FRIMANN, Acting City Attorney
Scott Largent, one of scores of people accused of violating the city’s emergency order during the late-May-through-early-June protests, said he’s thrilled to have one less thing to worry about. But he doesn’t understand why San Jose left everyone hanging for so long—especially since so many other cities made up their minds months ago.
“The fact that they didn’t drop the charges right away, like all these other cities were doing, really threw me off,” he said. “I was worried that they were going to consolidate this charge with some of the others I’m facing from other protests.”
Granted, San Jose would’ve probably lost the curfew case against him anyway considering that Largent is homeless and the language of the curfew order specifically exempted people without reliable shelter.
Largent said he kept telling cops about the exemption at the time of his arrest, to no avail. But, as SJPD Chief Eddie Garcia later acknowledged, his officers began enforcing the order just hours after City Manager Dave Sykes issued it and before they were briefed on its contents. The resulting blind enforcement and error-riddled citations—some of which referenced the wrong muni code—may have undermined the city’s case.
Councilman Raul Peralez—a reserve San Jose police officer who criticized the city’s efforts to prolong the curfew for more than a day or two—said he’s pleased with Frimann’s decision. “Considering the number of questionable and possibly unlawful curfew arrests that were made, including media personnel, I am not surprised at all by the decision of our city attorney,” he wrote Friday in a text message. “As she said, the decision to prosecute was always going to be in her hands, and simply implementing a curfew doesn’t guarantee charges will be filed.”
Annie Decker, an attorney for the ACLU of Northern California who spent the past few months pressing the city to drop the charges, applauded the fact that it finally did so.
“The curfew order itself was constitutionally suspect in timing and scope, and its enforcement also appears to have been unlawfully selective,” she told San Jose Inside.
For those who opposed prosecution, however, there’s still more work to be done.
“After letting them stew in uncertainty for months, the city still needs to provide clear directions to the cited individuals about next steps,” Decker said. “Moreover, the city must give them clean slates so that they do not continue to suffer downstream consequences and respond fully to our public record requests relating to the arrests.”
San Jose dropping the charges is the least it could do, noted her colleague, ACLU NorCal investigator Dylan Verner-Crist. He also ventures to guess that the timing may have had something to do with this news organization pressing for answers.
“Thousands of people turned out in San Jose to protest police brutality, with many of them going up against tear gas and rubber bullets before getting cited for a pretty petty curfew order,” he said. “Then, they’re left in the dark for three months with no clue about that’s going to happen. So yeah, I think it’s great that the city’s dropping this, but I don’t think it’s something to commend the city for. It’s really the lowest possible expectation.”
Daniel Mayfield, a criminal defense attorney who’s representing a handful of accused curfew scofflaws, expressed similar frustration about the lack of communication and said it’ll take a long time for the city to regain goodwill after this drawn-out saga.
Sgt. Kelly’s statement about the curfew causing needless police encounters couldn’t have been more true, Mayfield added. “The result,” he said, “is a further erosion in the trust of the people in the police. That is a problem.”
The solution, however, according to Mayfield, isn’t to empower police to engage in preventive detention, as Sgt. Kelly suggested in the Merc last week.
“The issue,” Mayfield said, “is not one of the so-called ‘thin blue line’ between Trump-style law-and-order and total chaos. … The issue is, rather, a question of the people of San Jose having trust in the police and the elected city leaders. That trust is not established by outlawing normal activity and claiming that the emergency laws, or the use of rubber bullets, is necessary to maintain order. Order is almost always maintained by mutual consent or by social contract.”

The new turn of events is that oddsmakers at DraftKings have set the Seattle Seahawks as their favorites over their host, the Philadelphia Eagles. The Philadelphia Eagles may have won the right to host the game, but the oddsmakers are definitely not on their side. Their opponents have been set at a 1.5 point favorite over them.
The Eagles have not had a smooth running this year. The public doesn’t seem to accord them as much respect as they used to before. They struggled to make wins during most of the season and this seemed to affect their popularity with the crowds. However, the season finished quite well with the Eagles been crowned the NFC East champions.
This was a weak win, 9-7, and was only possible after they acquired four consecutive wins as the season neared the end. According to a news highlight appearing in the Casino.org site is that this particular win has made the team extremely popular. In fact, sources say it’s now seen by many as having risen beyond its limits, and that it is stronger than it was initially thought.
Seahawks Coach, Pete Carroll, said in a statement that the Eagles are a strong team that has really proven themselves to be champions with the four wins they got. Not to forget, they won the super bowl merely two seasons ago. This particular repeat win shows the other wins were of cause never an accident.
On the other hand, the Seahawks lost the NFC West crown to the San Francisco 49ers in a match that was concluded at 26-21. The two teams went face to face on the final day of the season in a match that would determine who would win the title. Their coach blamed the failure by the league officials to call a pass interference as the reason for losing the game.
Another much-awaited game in the NFC is that between the Minnesota Vikings against the New Orleans Saints. The oddsmakers have placed the Saints eight points ahead of their opponents. Playing for the Saints will be Drew Brees, who is considered the strongest quarterback and the future Hall of Fame quarterback.
This has placed the Saints at an advantage over the Vikings. Despite this, the Saints head coach said that they will not be taking the Vikings for granted. He added saying that the team has proven itself this year with their good defense and the way they manage the ball.
The Vikings also have luck on their end, as their strongest offense will be playing. Dalvin Cook missed the last two games of the season due to a shoulder injury. The coach is confident that with him back, the game is definitely going to be different and they will be headed for victory. The winner from the game will battle it out with the Green Bay Packers next weekend, while the losers will face the 49ers in San Francisco.
