"We are grateful for their outstanding support of this effort which will help nonprofits and philanthropic organizations give back to Northwest Florida," said PSC President Ed Meadows in prepared remarks. |
Carrey, who died in 2002 at the age of 87, spent his life on the Salmon River and its steep breaks. He was born along the South Fork of the Salmon, and he and his family owned and worked a number of ranches up and down the main Salmon and its Middle Fork. Eventually he and his wife, Pearl, settled on Little White Bird ... |
Carrey, who was well-liked throughout the Salmon River drainage, started collecting the skulls and horns of bighorn sheep. Soon word spread about his collection, and people starting helping him. |
“Once people knew he was doing this, then people brought him horns,” Boggan said. |
Carrey diligently recorded who found each head, where it came from and when it was picked up by writing the information on the skull. One was given to him by the famous recluse Buckskin Bill. The oldest dates to 1879. Nearly all of them are natural kills. |
“He loved mountain sheep, and he said the old-timers regarded them as off-limits to hunting unless it was a real emergency,” said his friend, Cort Conley of Boise. |
Conley co-authored three books with Carrey — “A Guide to the Middle Fork and the Sheepeater War,” “River of No Return” and “Snake River of Hells Canyon.” Ace Barton of Riggins also was a co-author of the Hells Canyon book. |
Carrey also wrote “Salmon River Prose and Poetry” and co-authored “Sheepeater Indian Campaign” with three other writers. |
When people brought him horns, Conley said Carrey would thank them by crafting things like belt buckles, pistol grips and knife handles out of the horns. Conley said Carrey made as many as 300 bighorn sheep belt buckles during his life. |
“Everybody who has a belt buckle treasures them,” he said. |
Over time, his collection grew to 78. Most were stored in his attic. Conley said after someone tried to break into Carrey’s house, likely to steal the collection, he decided to sell it. Boggan was present when Carrey agreed to sell both his ranch and the bighorn collection to Robert Senter. The businessman from Plaisto... |
The collection was moved to Senter’s home in New Hampshire. |
Eventually, Boggan and Senter struck a deal, and 38 of the horns were crated up and shipped to his ranch with financial assistance from Randy Orzalli, a sheep enthusiast from Sacramento, Calif. Idaho Fish and Game Conservation Officer George Fisher helped Boggan work through legal issues, and a group of Fish and Game b... |
Idaho regulations require the horns from wild sheep to be marked with a pin that identifies them as having been legally harvested or legally picked up. |
“That way the collection can remain in Idaho and be legal, and Doug Boggan can do whatever he wants to do with it,” said Jim White, an Idaho Department of Fish and Game biologist at Lewiston. |
White said handling the horns is one of the highlights of his 25-year career. |
Boggan has several ideas of where the horns might eventually be displayed. For now they are locked away for safe keeping. He said they will likely make a trip to be displayed at the Wild Sheep Foundation’s annual convention in Reno. Then he wants to find a permanent place where the general public can admire them. |
“The main thing is the horns need to be seen by the public,” he said. |
Members of the Idaho Wild Sheep Foundation are working with Boggan to find an appropriate venue. |
“Obviously, the objective is to try to get as many people as possible to see them while meeting the needs of the family,” said Jason Pyron, president of Idaho Wild Sheep. |
Biologists hope the collection can teach them something about bighorn sheep. The once-abundant animals have been hammered from disease introduced by domestic sheep. Frances Cassirer, a wild sheep biologist for the Idaho Department of Fish and Game, said DNA samples taken from the skulls can paint a picture for research... |
Exclusive: Jorgie Porter on getting her confidence back after overcoming her struggle with 'bad skin' | HELLO! |
April 21, 2016 - 11:40 BST Julie Delahaye Jorgie Porter has opened up about overcoming negative comments and getting her confidence back. |
Jorgie Porter regularly wows her fans with her chic make-up looks and striking selfies, but the 28-year-old has revealed she previously struggled with "bad skin", which garnered some negative comments. Now Jorgie, who is Proactiv's new brand ambassador, has shared how she got her confidence back – including her secret ... |
"In the past when I was sixteen, I had horrific skin," she told HELLO! Online exclusively. "I used to get shouted at like, 'pizza face'. That was before social media, when people could hide behind it. This is when people shouted in your face about how bad your skin is. I've dealt with really bad skin for a really long ... |
Jorgie explained that when she landed the role of Theresa McQueen on Hollyoaks, the show's producers and make-up artists worked hard to give her the support she needed to find a solution – and finally found Proactiv products, which she revealed "eventually" cleared up her skin. |
The star, who lists Blake Lively, Nicole Scherzinger, Alesha Dixon and Lena Dunham as her beauty icons, revealed she sticks to the golden rules of skincare: cleansing, toning and moisturising. However, she revealed she likes to take her time when it comes to cleansing her skin, especially with her job requiring her to ... |
"Obviously because I wear a lot of make-up for work and stuff, I start with the exfoliator, cleansing with the water," she said. "Also there's a brush which is an electrical one, which you can swish around, and I like to do a little massage on my face. Sometimes I'm there for a really long time!" |
The British beauty explained that as well as seeing an improvement to her confidence with her clearer skin, she learnt how to "block the haters" who had previously commented on her skin. |
"I've had it done verbally to my face, so I don't care," she said. "You shouldn't care what people think. Then again, it is your confidence and there's things you can do to make yourself feel better. Block the haters or do something about it." |
Jorgie, who had dazzled fans with her performance on Dancing on Ice, admitted that she's even seen a change when she hits the gym, being able to go make-up free. "I've said before, it's the fact that when you go to the gym you cannot wear make-up because you sweat on it," she explained. "I've become more confident and ... |
To stay in shape, the actress revealed she prefers classes to hitting the treadmill. "I love dance classes and getting active in a way that it's like a secret," she said. "You think, 'Oh my goodness, my bum's gone tight and I don't know why', because you've been doing secret squats in your dance routine." |

It’s dusk on a crisp January day at Stanford University, and David Cheriton is in his corner office waiting for his weekly research meeting to begin. The last slivers of sunlight filter through the windows, illuminating the pages of Superyacht Living & Style, a glossy magazine Cheriton is browsing through with only the... |
Burgess, the yacht magazine publisher, knows exactly why: Cheriton is rich. Rich enough to afford the April Fool, 200 feet of steel-hulled elegance listed at $60 million, or New Zealand billionaire Graeme Hart's Ulysses, priced at $49 million. Or both. |
With a net worth of $1.3 billion, Cheriton is likely the wealthiest full-time academic in the world. But yachts are not his thing. The Stanford computer science professor calls himself “spoiled” for taking the occasional windsurfing vacation to Maui. When pressed to recall his latest splurge, the best he can come up wi... |
The one expensive passion he does pursue? “Startup companies,” he says, as he continues to shuffle his pens. Blue. Click. Red. Click. Black. Click. |
When Cheriton uses one of those pens to write a check to a startup, he usually ends up more in the black than in the red. Far more in the black. The first two companies he founded were sold to Cisco Systems and Sun Microsystems, respectively, for hundreds of millions. In all he’s spent more than $50 million out of his ... |
Cheriton, 61, maintains a low profile. Google searches of his name turn up primitive Web pages in Times New Roman, not the LinkedIn and Facebook profiles that have become Silicon Valley standards. (He doesn’t even tweet.) When I asked random Stanford students about him, several paused to think, then asked if his last n... |
For a man who works 10 to 12 hours a day, Cheriton understands that time is everything. His investment in Google allowed college freshmen cramming for exams to cut through the junk that had flooded search engines like AltaVista. His newest company, Arista Networks, makes a data switch that cuts down the delays between... |
America's Top Colleges Our list of the 650 best undergraduate institutions in America. |
As a boy with broad interests, Cheriton wasn’t chided when he tried to pursue a degree in classical guitar and performance arts, his main passions as a college student. When he was rejected from the music program at the University of Alberta, he simply pursued another interest, mathematics, and later computer science. ... |
In 1981, in search of research funding, Cheriton arrived at Stanford, soon to become the engine room of a budding Silicon Valley. It was at Stanford that Cheriton first met Andy Bechtolsheim, a brilliant German Ph.D. student who was constantly tinkering with a workstation computer he had designed called the SUN, short ... |
Bechtolsheim left to start Sun Microsystems in 1982 but Cheriton continued on as an academic well into the 1990s. He mostly avoided the startup bug that infected so many of his students and colleagues, among them billionaire Netscape cofounder Jim Clark, a former Stanford professor. |
When Bechtolsheim left Sun in 1995 he started casting around for someone who could understand the fundamental software problems behind Ethernet connections. He dusted off the phone book and called Cheriton. The two formed Granite Systems, an Ethernet switching company that was bought for $220 million by Cisco after 14 ... |
A couple of weeks after meeting up with Cheriton at his office, I sat down with him on his front porch to see the place where he wrote that check to the Google guys 14 years ago. Page and Brin were not Cheriton’s students, but they’d approached him after hearing about his success with Granite, hoping he could impart so... |
Bechtolsheim was there that day, too. It took him only a few moments to comprehend the search engine’s elegance as well as the creators’ plan to sell sponsored links. “I remember thinking in the back of my head, ‘Well, if they get a million hits a day, 5 cents a click, that’s $50,000—at least they won’t go broke!’” Bec... |
Back at Cheriton’s office, lined with 33 intimidating masks from around the world, you get the sense you’re in the gravitational center of Stanford’s hallowed computer science department. So many students have come here over the years in search of wisdom and, if possible, cash. Sam Liang, one of Cheriton’s former Ph.D.... |
Siddharth Batra, a former Stanford master’s degree student who received funding from Cheriton for his company in 2009, appreciated his former mentor’s attention to detail. “Technologists probably find it easier to share things with David, since he will understand a lot more than if you go to a VC who will sort of give ... |
Cheriton and Bechtolsheim have put in a combined $100 million into Arista, 95% of its total funding. Its CEO, Jayshree Ullal, did not disclose financial details but noted that the company is finally now “profitable” after seven years on the runway. Arista is fortunate to have deep-pocketed founders. The networking sect... |
“Sometimes it takes a little longer when you’re doing something innovative and creative to get there,” says Cheriton. Arista has doubled its head count in the last year, and rumors of an IPO continue to swirl. The high-speed switching industry in which Arista competes is expected to grow tenfold to $2.4 billion by 2016... |
They’ve worked out for David Cheriton. |
It was only a matter of time before the soaring popularity of card and toy game Bakugan was snatched up by a developer and turned into a video game. |
Activision today announced they've signed a deal with Nelvana Enterprises to develop and distribute a video game based on the toy and animated television series. |
The first Bakugan game will be released for the DS, Playstation 2, Playstation 3, Wii and Xbox 360 this fall. They will be developed by Japanese studio NOW Productions and feature battles, the ability to create your own Brawler, cartoon graphics and multiplayer combat. |
"Bakugan's success in 2008 speaks for itself and we're confident it will be even bigger in 2009," said David Oxford, Activision Publishing. "It is our goal to expand this proven property in a way that both fans and gamers will love." |
"Ever since Bakugan exploded in popularity, players have been clamoring for a video game version," said Doug Murphy, President, Nelvana and GM, Corus Kids. "We share our fans' excitement in doing battle in an interactive Bakugan world!" |
Bakugan tells the story of Dan and his friends as they battle their Bakugan Brawlers to save the planet of Vestroia and, ultimately, Earth from destruction. |
The toy line, developed by Spin Master Ltd., mixes collectible trading card games with marble-like Bakugan spheres that transform into "battle brawling" action figures when rolled onto special game cards. |
Funny story. Tristan was playing Bakugan with his friend over the weekend and I asked both of them if they knew how to play the game because I couldn't figure it out even with the instructions. They said no, and then continued to play. |
Manic Street Preachers star Nicky Wire says his now legendary Glastonbury remark about “building a bypass over this shithole” was meant as a joke. |
The remark, made on the Other Stage in 1994, caused a storm, though the bassist admitted he was only trying to wind up the punters. |
He said: “It was supposed to be a joke. As I was saying it I thought ‘This is going to be really funny’. Then this deathly silence descended on the place. |
“But back then it felt like we were aliens whizzed in from Wales with absolutely nothing in common with anyone else there. That’s the stupid justification for what I said. We were absolutely 100% alone and slightly teetering on the edge as a band. It was one of our greatest performances, even though it was deeply distu... |

A clover or smiley face etched in your coffee foam? This robot will put your portrait in your latte instead. |
A small New York design firm specializing in kinetic furniture has unveiled a prototype robot which etches portraits and logos in latte foam. The Barista Bot‘s robotic arm is a coffee foam artiste, and while the technology is still first generation… it’s going to change generations of weddings, bar mitzvahs, sweet sixt... |
The Barista Bot was unveiled as a proof of concept for General Electric at this year’s SXSW; party attendees at one event featuring personalities like Tumblr‘s David Karp and MakerBot‘s Bre Pettis lined up to have their portraits etched into a cup of coffee. |
Barista Bot is a partnership between RockPaperRobot, designers Hypersonic E&D and coders Jamie Zigelbaum and Kyle McDonald. While a real-life, flesh-and-blood barista pours an exacting latte at specifications designed for the Barista Bot’s etcher, a customer’s picture is taken on a webcam. The computer then transforms ... |
In person, the Barista Bot shows flaws and isn’t ready for even part-time work yet. It’s also insanely fascinating and teases at technology that’ll likely be commonplace in several years. When I had my portrait etched by the Bot several months ago, my features did not really show up–only the general shape of my face di... |
Real-life latte artists such as New York’s Mike Breach can make amazingly intricate portraits in coffee foam, and American (and global) coffee shops are full of baristas who can etch a quick clover, smiley face, or geometric logo into the top of a coffee. With that said, manually etching logos into latte foam at events... |
“How much trouble can one poet be?” Quite a lot, perhaps. In Set Fire to the Stars, Elijah Wood plays John M. Brinnin, an American poet and critic who has the task of coordinating the first trip to the US undertaken by poet Dylan Thomas. Played by Celyn Jones, Thomas turns out to be, as his reputation suggests, larger ... |
Sure, there’s a bit of Get Him to the Greek here, but this looks like it could be a two-hander road movie that lives up to the early positive buzz that came out of the Edinburgh Film Festival. The black and white photography and general tone of this trailer make me want to program Set Fire to the Stars with Jim Jarmusc... |
Andy Goddard (Downton Abbey) directed, with the film’s script from Goddard and co-star Celyn Jones. Chris Seager takes credit for the black and white cinematography, and the film’s score is from Welsh musician Gruff Rhys. Kelly Reilly, Steven Mackintosh, and Shirley Henderson also appear. |
Trailer via The Guardian. Set Fire to the Stars opens on November 7 in the UK. |
An aspiring poet in 1950s New York has his ordered world shaken when he embarks on a week-long retreat to save his hell raising hero, Dylan Thomas. |
Scientists are always striving to come up with new ways to cure the diseases that plague society. And now, it looks like they are one step closer to achieving that goal for human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV. |
Researchers at the Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute have found that killer T cells, which we detailed in an earlier report, are able to find hidden infected cells in body tissue and eliminate them. This ability, they say, could go a long way towards ridding the body completely of the virus, a more permanent solut... |
“The potential of this discovery is huge. It helps us to understand how we may be able to treat diseases that affect the immune system itself, such as HIV or B cell lymphoma,” said Dr. Axel Kallies, one of the lead researchers of the study. |
In addition to HIV, this discovery has the potential to address a range of different diseases and infections that hide and protect themselves when the body undergoes normal treatment. They are able to do this by going to “hiding spots” in the body, otherwise known as B cell follicles. However, while normal treatments m... |
“We’ve shown for the first time that there are specialized killer T cells that can migrate into a part of the lymphoid tissue and control hidden infection,” said Dr. Di Yu. |
“We could potentially transfer these specialized super potent killer T cells into patients, or we could treat patients with proteins that can drag these specialized killer T-cells into the right spots, specifically to the hot spots where HIV can hide on antiviral treatment,” added co-author Professor Sharon Lewin. |
The researchers hope that they can proceed to human trials within the next five years, though they admit that more testing of the killer T cells will be necessary to measure their potency. |
The full study has been published in the journal Nature Immunology. |
Traffic police and volunteers sprayed water at four locations in Bangkok on Sunday morning in a bid to curb the dust pollution. |
Pol Maj General Nithithorn Jintakanon, commander of the Traffic Police Division of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, presided at the dispatch of 150 police officers and volunteers from his headquarters on Vibhavadi-Rangsit Road. |
They sprayed water in front of the Government Complex on Chaeng Wattana Road, the Din Daeng expressway toll gates and at the Ratchadapisek-Lat Phrao intersection on Lat Phrao Road and a Ramkhamhaeng Road intersection. |
With California's state budget three weeks overdue, a Superior Court judge here today blocked the state from paying salaries or bills until a new budget was signed, but he said legislators could adopt emergency spending measures in the meantime. |
The immediate practical effect of the ruling was to increase pressure on Gov. Pete Wilson and Democratic legislative leaders in Sacramento to reach a compromise on the $75 billion budget, which has been stalled by arguments over how to spend a $4.4 billion surplus. |
The State Controller, Kathleen Connell, who signs all state checks, said she planned an appeal. |
A total of $7.8 billion in payments will be due by the end of this month, including the next state payroll of $720 million for 250,000 employees. |
