GIVE A GIRL A BREAK…GUYS…INCLUDING THE LIFEGUARDS AND BEACH PATROL…

full text …Herald…

LAKE WORTH — Lifeguards surrounded a female manatee who had beached herself near the Lake Worth pier Tuesday morning, afraid that she was sick or injured.

They closed the beach around 9 a.m., and tried to nudge her back into the surf. But after she swam away, Tim Ehmke, chief lifeguard for Lake Worth Ocean Rescue, said they realized that she hadn’t been in any distress after all.

It seems that she just needed a break from a libidinous male who wasn’t taking a hint.

Manatees mate in earnest during the warmer months, and this time of year, rescue groups get quite a few concerned calls from people who don’t know what they are witnessing.

The normally solitary, docile animals can gather in mating herds during the summer, slapping their tails, hugging each other with their flippers, and occasionally piling up on sandbars or the beach.

Tuesday’s beaching in Lake Worth was tame compared to the spectacle on Lauderdale-by-the-Sea on Sunday, when a female in heat was pursued by nine males. Onlookers snapped photos of the manatees cavorting on in the shallow surf as the fire department kept order.

Katie Tripp, director of science and conservation at the Save the Manatee Club, said that with each animal weighing in at more than 1,000 pounds, a herd of amorous manatees can be something to see.

“It’s really no wonder that people get fascinated,” Tripp said, “when you get 5, 10, 15, manatees splashing around in the shallow water.”

The act itself is over in 15 to 30 seconds, but a female in heat may attract many eager males that pursue her for days. Marine biologists don’t agree on why they sometimes swim onto the beach – it might help with mating, or maybe the females just get tired.

If all goes well, a calf will be born in about 12 months.

It’s fine to watch the manatees mate from a distance, Tripp said, but give them a little privacy.

“If they can not really know that you are there, that’s really for the best,” Tripp said. “Just stay back and allow them to focus on making new manatees.”

BSO POUNDS THE PAVEMENT FOR A CURE
AGENCY RAISES OVER $127 THOUSAND FOR CANCER RESEARCH

Updated: 06/04/2009 04:40:00 PM
PIO Number: 09-6-4

Sheriff Al Lamberti and the Broward Sheriff’s Office family invite you to join us as we celebrate life, remember lives lost and come together to help find a cure for cancer.

Friday, June 5

6 p.m. Opening Ceremony

Markham Park

16001 West State Road 84

Sunrise, FL 33326

After months of fundraising, 38 Relay for Life teams, comprised of more than 600 BSO employees, are ready to lace up their sneakers and hit the pavement as they walk day and night in solidarity against this dreadful disease.

In this first ever BSO Relay for Life, the agency set out to raise $35,000 but far exceeded the goal by raising more than three times as much! The fundraiser has received more than $127,000 in donations for the American Cancer Society so far, and more continues to trickle in.

“I’m humbled and deeply touched by the extraordinary effort and generosity of the men and women of this agency,” said Sheriff Al Lamberti. “I know first hand that this isn’t a losing battle and every penny we raise brings us closer to finding a cure.”

Inspired by the theme “Cancer doesn’t take a Holiday,” Relay for Life participants will have at least one person from each team walking along the track during the 14 hours of the event.

The opening ceremony will be followed by a Survivor Ceremony and Dinner, and then the walking will begin! The afternoon and night will be filled with themed events including entertainment for the kids, music, dancing, games and much more.

BC- Got the map honey?……….

Excerpts…

‘The federal government mistakenly made public a 266-page report, its pages marked “highly confidential,” that gives detailed information about hundreds of the nation’s civilian nuclear sites and programs, including maps showing the precise locations of stockpiles of fuel for nuclear weapons.

“These screw-ups happen,” said John M. Deutch, a former director of central intelligence and deputy secretary of defense who is now a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “It’s going further than I would have gone but doesn’t look like a serious breach.”’
