Cougar in photos hails from West
About 160 scoutmasters within the Derby-based Housatonic Council of the Boy Scouts of America recently received e-mail copies of photos of the mountain lion, which was apparently photographed five years ago outside someone's home in Wyoming. State Department of Environmental Protection officials and staff members of the Connecticut Audubon Society also received copies. "I'm not sure what the distribution net was, but it's way out there," said Dale May, director of the DEP's wildlife division. "I've had people from the DEP who called me who got it at home and they wanted to know if it's true." May said it's the third mountain-lion fraud in recent months. The last trick featured a photo of a hunter holding up a dead cougar in New York state, but it was actually snapped five years earlier in Washington state, May said.
HSA conducts MCM training
Health Services Authority (HSA) conducted a week of Mass Casualty Management (MCM) training for all emergency services on Cayman Brac. The training was conducted by two highly respected professionals in the field, Delwin Ferguson and Keith McKenzie who are both instructors with Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), and the training ran from Monday, 25 February to Saturday, 2 March 2008. The week’s activities were planned and organised by the Emergency Medical Service (EMS) team at Faith Hospital. The purpose of the programme was to ensure the mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery from Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) or natural disaster within the Cayman Islands, especially those directly affecting the Sister Islands. Participants were also edified on the key principles to be applied in organizing a disaster site and to understand the basics of hurricane impact, terrorism response, radio communications, incident command system, supply management and handling stress management in disasters.
Lacy to retire as president at Kronos Inc.
The Ain brothers at Kronos Inc. are losing one of their right-hand men. Paul Lacy, president of the Chelmsford maker of labor-management software since 2005, announced plans to step down. "It's been a great ride," said Lacy, 60. "I'm looking forward to learning to relax and then actually doing it." Lacy is a 20-year veteran at Kronos. Before being named president, he was executive vice president and chief financial and administrative officer. He was the key player in terms of getting the company to go public in 1992, and the point man behind many of Kronos' many strategic acquisitions. During his tenure, Kronos grew from a company that made time clocks with $26 million in annual revenues to an enterprise software company that posted $662 million in revenues in its most recent fiscal year.
Chemistry with a fighting chance
From accusations of dogfighting to drunken driving to dope smoking, the Trail Blazers were more prolific on the police blotter than in the NBA standings in the late 1990s and early part of the 21st century. So fed up with their team's play and lack of professionalism, Blazers fans voiced their displeasure through the time-honored art of "civil disobedience." Portland's attendance bottomed out at 15,053 per game, dead last in the NBA, during the 2005-06 season. Power forward Zach Randolph was among those who brought infamy to the team, and the curtain finally might have dropped on the "Jail Blazers" era when Randolph was traded to the New York Knicks on June 28, the same night Portland drafted Oden with the top pick. Thanks to a community-friendly roster that has carried itself well on and off the court, attendance at the Rose Garden is the highest it has been since 2002- 03, which also happens to be the last time the Blazers made the playoffs.
Action 9 Uncovers More Minivan Door Problems
Action 9 has found General Motors knew its Uplander minivans had problems with doors opening on their own. And the issue could affect several other models besides the Chevrolet Uplander. Ron Murray owns a 2005 Chevrolet Uplander and says when he watched Action 9's first investigation of the minivan's power doors he felt vindicated. "That was mine, that was my vehicle," he said. According to Murray, his right rear power door constantly popped open, sometimes even when it was locked. Action 9 saw it happen. After pushing the "close" button, the door closed. Then, an alarm sounded and the door opened by itself. Murray says it happens 90 percent of the time. VIDEO: Previous Action 9 Uplander Investigation

New older driver rental protection insurance
Insurance4carhire.com is launching a new car insurance policy aimed at drivers over 75 hiring abroad. The insurance policies protect against claims for excess on the vehicle – including damage to tyres, undercarriage and windows , often not covered car hire companies' excess waiver policies. Larry Ursich, at Insurance4carhire.com, said: “With 75 being the new 65, growing numbers of older travellers are determined to continue driving as part of their holiday and are seeking out those car hire companies who do not discriminate against them because of their age. "But when faced with the punitive daily levy charged by car hire companies for their excess protection policy, the deal can be so costly that even the most indomitable drivers could decide it's just not worth the expense. "It's bad enough for most people, but for senior citizens who are often on a restricted budget, an expensive excess charge is something they can ill afford." He went on to explain hiring a car without excess protection is a big financial risk could lead to costs of as much as £1,000 should the rental vehicle suffer any kind of damage or be stolen.

Why Hillary Won
Obama's conflicting statements on Iraq. There's more -- and more powerful -- material available. Mr. Obama has failed to rise to leadership on a single major issue in the Senate. In the Illinois legislature, he had a habit of ducking major issues, voting "present" on bills important to many Democratic interest groups, like abortion-rights and gun-control advocates. He is often lazy, given to misstatements and exaggerations and, when he doesn't know the answer, too ready to try to bluff his way through. For someone who talks about a new, positive style of politics and pledges to be true to his word, Mr. Obama too often practices the old style of politics, saying one thing and doing another. He won't escape criticism on all this easily. But the messenger and the message need to be better before the Clintons can get all this across.
