A semi-trailer plowed into an Amtrak train from Chicago Friday at a crossing on a rural northern Nevada highway, killing the truck driver and an Amtrak train crew member and injuring about 20 others who escaped the fiery crash, authorities said.
Most of the injuries were not life threatening, according to Amtrak spokesman Marc Magliari. He said 204 passengers and 14 crew members were aboard the California Zephyr en route from Chicago to Emeryville, Calif., which is near Oakland in Northern California, about 300 miles west of the crash site.
An Amtrak train crew member and the truck driver were killed, according to an Amtrak media release. Numerous others were transported to area hospitals for treatment and the rest of the passengers were taken to local schools for shelter and food.
A semi drove into the side of the train at 11:20 a.m. (PDT) at a public railroad crossing, the release said.
The crash occurred on U.S. 95 about 70 miles east of Reno, said Nevada Highway Patrol Trooper Dan Lopez. About 20 people aboard the train were taken to hospitals in Reno and Fallon, but he didn't know the extent of their injuries.
Lopez said the crossing gates were working. He said he wasn't sure if the railroad lights were operating but he believes they were.
Marianne Tidwell, a Chicago resident, said her daughter is an attendant on the train and was standing near a co-worker who was one of the people killed in the crash.
"She called me and said that the train had been hit," said Tidwell, who has another daughter who is a Tribune reporter. "It was a very bad accident, and her coworker was dead. She was just talking to her.
"I told her bad things happen to good people."
Amtrak passenger Jim Bickley told Sacramento, Calif., television station KXTV that the semi hit the fourth car on the train and two of the cars caught fire.
Another witness also said the truck hit the side of the train before it burst into flames, causing heavy smoke. The entire train was evacuated, the witness said.
A video taken by a passenger and sent to a Reno television station shows a chaotic scene as a plume of dark smoke pours from the train, with passengers who have already escaped calling to someone to "hang and jump," presumably from the upper level from the train.
Amtrak said anyone with questions about the passengers could call 800-523-9101.
"We are saddened by any injury and appreciate the emergency response by local and state agencies," Amtrak said in a statement.
The National Transportation Safety Board said its investigators were on the way to the scene.
The tracks cross the highway about three miles south of I-80 in the heart of the Forty Mile Desert, which was considered one of the deadliest sections of the entire overland journey by California-bound, covered-wagon pioneers in the 19th century.

Sunday Brunch: 'ino's Scrambled Egg, Pancetta, and Fontina Bruschetta Recipe
This is one of the greatest breakfast or brunch sandwiches ever. If you live in New York or plan on visiting, you can go to 'ino any tine of the day or night, and the skilled toaster-oven cooks there will make one for you. Or you can use this recipe to rustle up one right now in the comfort of your own home (and your own toaster oven).
This Scrambled Egg, Pancetta, and Fontina Bruschetta is adapted from Simple Italian Sandwiches by Jennifer and Jason Denton and Kathryn Kellinger.
- 8 ounces pancetta (or slab bacon), cut into a 1/2-inch dice
- 8 baguette slices, 3/4 inch thick, cut on the diagonal
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 ounces Italian Fontina, thinly sliced by hand
In a small skillet, brown the pancetta over a medium flame, 5 to 7 minutes. Spoon out excess rendered fat as you go. When the pancetta is cooked, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside. (While you might be inclined to cook the eggs in the rendered fat, it makes for a greasy bruschetta.) Wipe the pan clean with a paper towel. Set aside.
While the pancetta is cooking, lightly toast the baguette slices, either on a preheated panini grill for 1 to 2 minutes or in a toaster oven. The bread should be a crisp light brown. Transfer the toasted slices to a baking sheet or toaster-oven pan.
Heat the olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet. Add the eggs, salt, pepper, and browned pancetta. Use a rubber spatula to move the eggs, starting at the edge of the pan and moving toward the center, lightly cooking the eggs as well as incorporating the pancetta. The eggs should be softly scrambled.
Divide the eggs among the 8 baguette slices. Cut the Fontina into rectangles that will fit neatly over each. Toast in the toaster oven or broil until the cheese bubbles and melts. Serve immediately.
Note: Vegetarians can substitute grilled asparagus for the pancetta with no ill effects.

Subject: DAD ART PERFORMANCE: SOME INFORMATION: LINDA MARY MONTANO for May 2017 : Vortex; BONNIE CULLUM
DAD ART PERFORMANCE/HEALING COLLAGE is an opportunity for a willing community to see, learn about, interact with and experience aesthetically/performatively the old age, sickness and death of my father Henry Joseph Montano as life/art. In coming into contact with another person's life story and their eventual death, we will see, be reminded of and participate in the feelings associated with our own deaths. That is important work.
The video is a document of the time I took care of my father from 1998-2005 in Saugerties NY, after I left UT Austin.
Death, a tabooed subject and not always out of the closet of fear and dread, must be aesthetically exposed/experienced as the natural event that it is. Why? To prepare us courageously for our own inevitable deaths and help us all make some alliance and friend with that fact. We all share life and we all will experience the end game. Let us collectively help each other do that.
I have found that by opening doors to the SUBJECT of death, I am asking death for friendship and knowledge and understanding. In doing so,
my personal spiritual journey and curiosity are becoming educated to our natural and shred human situation. A good thing, I think..
1. One or two MC's. They will have/use a whistle or a suitable hand held/blown noise device so that they interrupt the "solemnity" of both the images on video and performative actions with a fetivity/jesterlyness but dignified sacredness.
2. The secretary who writes down "letters to death" dictated by the audience members who come onstage and visit the secretary at their desk. The secretary can instruct the audience member what to do. The audience member talks, the secretary writes. It can be kept as long or short as it takes. It begins with DEAR DEATH……..
3. The water-giver. One person who offers water to audience members who come to them for water. It can be a glass of water, a spritz of rose water from a spritz bottle, a bowl of water that the audience member drinks from or puts their finger in to bring to a place in their body that needs healing. This is designed by the "water person." The water giver can instruct the audience member what to do.
4. The two grief counselors who sit in front of an empty chair and when an audience member sits down, they listen to stories of death told by members of the audience visiting them onstage at the death-counselor station. They can say," Do you want to tell me about death?" Then just listen. No advice is needed from the counselors.
5. The audience members come to the mic to say the name of the person they are remembering who has died. Or the mic can be passed around in the audience by the MC's. . They are welcome to say the names of people who have died who they want to remember. They will be invited to say the name or to say this: IM SORRY…… I FORGIVE YOU AND I FORGIVE MYSELF. Their choice. The MC occasionally helps this to happen. If there is a written program handed out to the audience before the event, this will be written in the program so they can read it.
6. The singer. Montano will sing 7 songs, one every 20 minutes to honor and remember her father's love of music, time in his band where he played trumpet and my mother sang. The MC calls me to the microphone to do this, 7 times at designated and equally spaced times.
7. The parade leader will comes up at the end of the performance and leads us all outside so we can burn the letters to death in a container. There can be many parade leaders. They also lead us in dancing ADDICTED TO LOVE via a boombox sound system after the burning of the letters. They can make festive parade "flags" or have sticks with yarn on them, things to bring attention to the parade and are attractive and make people want to follow. Musical Instruments/singing can be included if they want. The parade person/persons can come into the performance space and invite people to follow them via verbal instruction or if the mood needs they can use hand gestures/silence. If the mood calls for it, they can walk out in silence. This instruction can also be included in the program notes.
All is happening simultaneously. There is no fixed focus. Nothing that can't be talked over or interrupted. There are no mistakes possible in this experience because it is an event of natural occurrences and over-lapping experiences.
FRONT STAGE/MID STAGE: The one or two MC's will stand and move around and interact with the audience. They will either share a mic or there will be two mics for the MC's. The second or third mic will be set for reverb/digital delay for Linda when she sings and also for audience when they come up to say the names of their deceased friends.
TO THE RIGHT OF THE MC'S FACING THE AUDIENCE: There will be four chairs next to each other. The two grief counselors will sit in two of them, side-ways to audience. Audience members will sit in the empty chairs to talk with the grief counsellors who, by the way, are just listening to stories. They have no need to know how to counsel.
The MC's will see when there is a need for an audience member to come to a chair or go to the water station or to write a letter. They will keep the flow going but in a very scared and "ritualistic" manner.
BACK STAGE/ RIGHT BACK: There is a table. The letters to death secretary will sit with their back to the audience with a death mask on the back of their head. They face the person writing the letters. They need paper and a pen to write with. Table and two chairs.
BACK STAGE/BACK LEFT: The water giver is in back of a table. Standing. On the table are the things they choose to use to offer water toaudience members.
LEFT STAGE/ FRONT: Microphone is there for audience members who want to hhonor their friends with their frind's name or do the I'm Sorry incantation. But also they can do this when the MC's pass their mic to the siting audience. I will use this microphone when I come up to sing so it has to be calibrated for my need to have reverb or digital delay.
Each station can be lit from above, shining down if that is appropriate. But lighting needs to be done in a way that makes it possible for audience members to walk onto the stage.
There are 4 layers of sound:
1. Sound from the video.
2. Sound from the MC's mic on a mic stand.
3. Sound from my mic on a mic stand, adjusted for delay.
4. Sound for the "music" that I sing. I sing aling with either a trumpet or a guitar accompaniment. I will bring a cd of this music. It is to be calibrated so whenever I get up to sing and indicate a signal to begin, the "next" song is played.
5. Sound for ADDICTED TO LOVE outside around the fire which can be a campfire if you wish. This sound can be on a boombox, or anything simple but loud.
As we walk onstage, there will be a you tube of bird sound/images, low volume already playing as people come into the theatre.
Each actor will go to the standing mic center stage and say their name and will simply say what they will be doing.
We go to our stations and perform the actions, not "paying attention" to the video onscreen because you will have seen it before the night of the performance via you tube or vimeo. It is important that everyone pay attention to their action and not to the screen or anyone else's action. This concentration will help make the energy of the performance more focused.
At the end of the video, after the credits, we leave via the front door while humming one note. The parade people will come to gather each of us . Parade people also gather the audience members and we all go outside, form a circle around the burning container. After the LETTERS TO DEATH are burned, we then all dance to ADDICTED TO LOVE.
Please see Robert Graham's ADDICTED TO LOVE youtube before the performance. Please wear:
1. BLACK CLOTHES: As nice as possible. Everything black.
2. GREAT SHOES: In keeping with a "funeral home" look. Black. Don't buy anything but they need to look good.
3. FABULOUS HAIR OR WIG: Very Glamour/Vogue. Cover all tattoos. Somber but Glam look.
4. EXCESSIVE MAKEUP: So it looks glamorous.
5. SUNGLASSES: Can be taken on and off, but walk out in them. If you need to take them off to make eye contact with an audience member at your station, please feel free to do so. Healing contact is most important.
6. Please bring you costume to the rehearsal. More than one if you have a question.
1. Four chairs for grief counsellors.
2. Table and two chairs for secretary.
3. Table and water props for water giver.
4. Sound makers for MC's.
5. Festive things for parade leaders.
2. CD of trumpet/ guitar.
3. Costume and wig, sunglasses and make up.

This weekend's "UFC 127: Penn vs. Fitch" matched a company record by selling out the host venue in just 22 minutes.
With the card now in the books, UFC officials say it qualified as the largest gate ever generated by the promotion outside of North America.
However, if the vision of the promotion's U.K. division head is correct, a future event Down Under may challenge for the company's worldwide marks.
At the UFC 127 post-event press conference, UFC exec Marshall Zelaznik said the event drew 18,186 attendees to Acer Arena in Sydney, Australia, for a reported $3.5 million gate.
The reported figures represent an average revenue of $192.46 per ticket sold.
The numbers marked a significant increase over the $2.5 million reported gate generated by the 17,831 attendees to the UFC's 2010 debut in Australia.
While attendance figures outside of North America are rarely certified by local commissions, the reported figure marks the highest total ever claimed by the UFC for an event outside of North America.
Zelaznik said the marks also qualified as the fastest sell-out in both Acer Arena and ticket broker Ticketek history.
While Canada has proven one of the UFC's most lucrative markets – as witnessed not only by the massive gates of several trips to Montreal and Vancouver but also the 55,000 seats and $11 million gate expected for April's UFC 129 event in Toronto – Zelaznik said Australia is quickly becoming a favored destination as well.
In fact, Zelaznik said a return trip for a stadium show is entirely possible.
"The ticket sales in Toronto were obviously massive," Zelaznik said. "We're putting a lot of energy into ensuring the production delivers for the fans. It will be interesting to see the fan experience there, but we're very optimistic.
"There's an Arena here in Australia in Melbourne, the Etihad, which has a roof. It's about 55,000 (seats). I have no doubt that if we can figure out the issue with Victoria that that would be a place for an event that I think would sell-out just as quickly as Toronto."
According to Zelaznik, the promotion is making "real good progress" in the state of Victoria, which legally allows for MMA, but not in a cage. However, Zelaznik said the company expects to see a policy change in the coming months.
Etihad Stadium opened in 2000 and serves primarily as a host site for Australian Rules Football games, though other sports and concerts have also been conducted in the building.
A list of the UFC's best attendance figures outside of North America is included below.
- 18,186: UFC 127; Sydney, Australia, in February 2011
- 17,831: UFC 110; Sydney, Australia, in February 2010
- 17,133: UFC 120; London, England, in October 2010
- 16,693: UFC 105; Manchester, England, in November 2009
- 16,235: UFC 75; London, England, in September 2008
- 15,327: UFC 85; London, England, in June 2008
- 15,114: UFC 70; Manchester, England, in April 2007
- 13,268: UFC 95; London, England, in February 2009
- 12,854: UFC 99; Cologne, Germany, in June 2009
- 11,008: UFC 112; Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, April 2010

The Bell Full 9 continues the rebirth of the Bell brand with the introduction of their new full-face helmet.
Different Color Options for the Full 9.
Bell took their highly acclaimed motorcross helmet called the Moto 9, worked with Aaron Gwin and created the Full 9. They retained the fit but optimized the Full 9 for protection, weight and features ideal for downhill mountain bike racing and bmx racing. Check the video below for design insights on this project.
Video: Bell Factory Tour and Design Insight on Full Nine Helmet.
Bell Full 9 Overview
- Full carbon shell
- Wide opening to maximize rider peripheral vision
- Available in five different design schemes
- Integrated, breakaway helmet camera mount made for GoPro and Contour
- Eject Helmet Removal System compatible – airbag system for safe helmet removal
- Overbrow Ventilation that directs air from the front to the back of the helmet
- Magnetic, removable cheek pads
- Built in speaker pockets
- Weight: 1050 grams
Removable Magnetic Cheek Pads.
Riding Impressions
I've been using the Bell Full 9 for a couple months and have been extremely pleased with it. The best part about it is the fit is extremely comfortable on the head with pads that seem to float and keep my head in good comfort even in the roughest terrain.
Another notable feature of the Full 9 is the front opening is rather large, so my field of view seems unrestricted compared to other full-face helmets. On the left and right side of the helmet, I seem to be able to see better than other helmets. As an occasional user of full-face helmets, the lack of peripheral vision is probably what bothers me the most with other helmets as "I just can't see right and feel comfortable immediately." But the sides, visor and nose of the helmet are out of the way from view so my vision was not compromised.
Overbrow Ported Ventilation.
Venting is also excellent too as airflow can be felt in the helmet while traveling at speed.
Crash Breakaway Camera Mount.
And the GoPro/POV Camera mount is an excellent feature not only because it's integrated, but also because it breaks away during a crash. Most folks put a GoPro on the helmet without thinking about the consequences when they crash. The camera sticking out can easily get caught on the ground or branch and twist the head of the rider causing severe injury. Bell designed this GoPro mount to detach at a certain force and we tried to detach it with a blunt hit and it does indeed work from any angle. Our only wish is that this system becomes universally accepted for all camera and bike lighting mounts.
The visor is quite functional, it can be moved out of the way easily and it stays in place. It is also nice that the nose of the helmet is not too long and seems to be just the right size to give the rider room yet keep the rider safer with less rotational force during a fall.
Other features such as the integrated earbud locations are neat but we probably won't use them. Also the eject system is something we won't use, but it's nice to know that it's available and that the industry is moving towards the way of safety.
Removable Magnetic Cheek Pads
The cheek pads on this helmet are huge and are key to keeping this helmet in place on the rider's head. Bell made these pads removable by using three small, powerful magnets that keep the pads in place. The pads can be pulled off easily and the magnets guide them back into place when replacing them. We were hoping these would make the helmet easier to put on by putting on the cheek pads after the helmet is worn on the head, but that doesn't really work since it's such a tight fit. Rather, the pads can be removed when taking the helmet off.
So when you feel your ears are going to get sheared off every time you remove your full face helmet, on the Bell Full 9, you can pop one or two cheek pads off and this will create much more room when you take off the helmet. And more importantly, when emergency responders come to remove the helmet, less stress is put on the neck by removing the pads first.
Bottom Line
The price on the helmet of $400 is quite steep, but it is comparable to other top end helmets from other manufacturers. We particularly like the five available graphic options on this helmet. Finally, we love supporting the brand we grew up with once again, as they've been doing great things to improve their mark and have been doing a lot in the bike community to support trail building and the growth of the sport.
Shaping Sometimes Done by Hand.
In the future, we hope this design trickles down to a $200 price point, perhaps with less features. But that will put it within reach of many more riders.


text: The arrival of the Air Jordan 3 in 1988 marked the beginning of the Tinker Hatfield era. Hatfield, a designer for Nike, dropped the "Wings" logo like a bad habit, opting for the new and improved Jumpman. Its upper, a combination of textured tumbled leather and elephant print, is simple in construction, but profound in aesthetic. For that reason, the Air Jordan 3 dropped jaws. The first run of the AJ 3 included four colorways: white and black "Cement" options, Fire Red, and True Blue. With Hip-Hop fully engulfed in its first "Golden Era," during which it officially became a music genre that permeated global culture, the sneaker was a staple in any purveyor of cool's uniform. A fact that remains true today. And that's without mentioning that Michael Jordan wore the AJ 3 during many iconic moments. At the top of the list is the '88 NBA Slam Dunk Contest, during which MJ went mano a mano with power dunker Dominique Wilkins. It was on this night that the Jumpman logo was born, as the prodigious Chicago Bull soared from the free throw line, flaring his legs in the process of slamming home the contest-winning dunk in a fresh pair of "Cement" 3s. With time, the introduction of the retro and changes in the Jordan Brand infrastructure has seen the Nike Air branding on the heel be replaced with a Jumpman, only for the Nike Air to return once again (on special releases). There has been also been a heightened focus on lifestyle releases that sees the Air Jordan 3 return in unseen colorways featuring materials like wool and reflective 3M. Stadium Goods provides all of the above in this curated assortment of the third-ever Air Jordan sneaker. If a classic sneaker is what you seek, look no further.

With help from Code for America, The Big Easy will develop a website that helps residents report on blighted areas of the city.
New Orleans is taking the fight against blight to the Web.
In partnership with Code for America (CfA), the city will develop an interactive website that makes it easier for citizens to report and track complaints about rundown and vacant properties. Once online, the site should improve communication with New Orleans officials and assist in identifying areas in the Crescent City that need serious cleanup.
A team of four CfA fellows and various members of the city's IT staff will work on the project, which should be online by November. Serena Wales, one of the CfA fellows involved, said she and her colleagues are in the initial planning stages of the endeavor, working to figure out what's needed to make the site successful.
"Right now we're trying to get a sense of what systems the city has in place for tracking blight and for tracking the different processes," Wales said. "[We're] also meeting with neighborhood groups on how they interact and get information out of the city. That's been our main focus."
Wales and the CfA team will also be working hand in hand with New Orleans' code enforcement personnel and staff who work on blight policy. At first blush, she explained, one of the biggest priorities is combining all the different systems people use in order to understand what's happening to their neighborhood's properties.
In addition, the team needs to evaluate what type of display would be the most user-friendly. Right now, Wales said residents need a case number, street address or other information to find data on blighted properties. The goal is to come up with a system that's not dependent on specific data. The plan is to build some prototypes, test them out with selected users and then refine further and add features as needed.
For those who walk around their neighborhoods, a mobile app could be an ideal solution for reporting blight — Wales said that's something New Orleans will be looking at. A nonprofit called Beacon of Hope recently released an iPhone app that various groups are using to track properties. This app will be evaluated before making any decisions.
"One thing we're doing now is research into what devices people have and how they use technology," Wales said. "We don't want to make assumptions and build an iPhone app that isn't actually useful to anyone because no one has an iPhone."
Wales was frank, however, that no matter what the CfA-New Orleans team does, it won't end the problem of blight in the city. But she was hopeful the project would be the first step toward a solution.
"We know we're not going to solve it, but I think it's something where having more openness and the ability to communicate what's happening better will really help that process along," Wales said.

Dentistry is an important decision and you need to feel confident in the person you choose to help you with your care.
Many people seek cosmetic dentistry because the smile they once had is now gone or they were never blessed with a great one in the first place. Unless the dentist you choose to take care of you can see the whole picture not only from the aesthetic standpoint but how you got there in the first place, your end result may not last as long or look as good as may have been possible.
Our dentists are passionate about caring for the people who choose to come to her for care and is able to provide a comprehensive overview of the possibilities. They will listen to what you want and present you with different options to accomplish that. Sometimes it's a simple smile upgrade involving only a few teeth, something it's a complete smile makeover and when necessary it may be total mouth rejuvenation.
Our Dentists have pursued extensive overseas training at LVI Global in the United States to bring the latest in aesthetic and functional dentistry to patients.
Beyond aesthetic dentistry, our passion is neuromuscular dentistry, which helps people who suffer from chronic headaches and neck pain and many other symptoms, which arise from an unbalanced bite. If where the teeth fit together is not a muscle comfortable, balanced position, considerable muscle pain and wear and tear of the teeth and jaw joints can result. It is important to have these issues addressed before they become even worse.
Today people want to not only look good but feel good and maybe once they feel good, they will want to look good! Aesthetic and neuromuscular dentistry work hand in hand to achieve the best possible outcome for you. We look forward to meeting you and helping you to look and feel the best you can be.

This morning the San Antonio Symphony begins a set of six Young People's Concert at Trinity University's Laurie Auditorium. This week's concerts are for children in the third, fourth and fifth grades. Each concert is designed to also teach a classroom subject in addition to music. This week's performances are called "Earth and Sky" and the students will learn all about earth science, as well as hear some fabulous music. You can read the 26-page teacher's guide by clicking here.
One of selections is The Moldau by Bedrich Smetana. This has always been a favorite of mine. You don't hear it in concert halls much anymore, but it used to be a played frequently. It tells the story of life on the Moldau River that runs through the city of Prague. As I was reading our teacher's guide, I learned a shocking fact about this composition. The guides states:
By 1874, however, Smetana had gone deaf and found himself isolated from the world and from music. His response to this tragedy was to write one of his greatest and most important works, Ma Vlast (My Homeland), a set of six symphonic poems based on the Czech land and people.
I never knew Smetana composed his masterpiece after becoming deaf! We all know the story of Beethoven's gradual deafness. But, who knew that there was another great composer with the same challenge? I thought I knew a lot of music history, but I guess the kids that are using the Symphony's teacher's guide this week are WAY ahead of me!
Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov from Scheherazade, "The Sea and Sinbad's Ship"
Richard Wagner Ride of the Valkyries
Manuel Ponce Estrellita
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Ah! Vous dirai-je, maman (Twinkle Variations)
Bedrich Smetana Vlatva (The Moldau)
Jean Sibelius Finlandia
The Symphony has a scholarship program that helps schools pay for buses to come to these performances. Last year we received grants from foundations and corporations that enabled us to give out $12,000 is transportation and ticket scholarships to these performances. After this week, the last series is based on the music of Tchaikovsky (as part of our Tchaikovsky Festival in late April/early May.) Those concerts are May 25, 26 & 31.

APH Materials Request Documentation form
What are APH Quota Funds?
Federal quota funds are an annual appropriation shared proportionally among all public institutions for students who are blind or visually impaired in the United States. All states conduct an annual registration of students who are visually impaired on the first Monday in January each year to determine their share of these funds. Each state's share of these funds is held in escrow at the American Printing House for the Blind (APH) and, as orders for materials are processed, their cost is drawn against that account.
TSBVI manages a statewide system of ordering, distributing, and repairing instructional materials purchased from APH with federal quota funds. Specialized equipment and instructional materials may be requested by a local school district for the eligible visually impaired students it serves.
More information about the American Printing House for the Blind, Federal Quota Funds, and how Texas manages these funds and materials may be found in the downloadable article "Ordering APH Materials Using Quota Funds in Texas".
If you have questions about ordering through APH using Quota Funds, returning APH products or repairing APH products, contact:
Randall McAlister
(512) 206-9344
If you have additional questions outside of these areas, please contact:
Miriam Miramontes
APH materials obtained with quota funds are the property of the State of Texas and are loaned to districts for use by students who are legally blind. It is a district's responsibility to:
- maintain an inventory of these materials
- ensure their use only by students who are legally blind
- return materials to the TIMCVI when broken or no longer needed by a student who is legally blind
Ordering APH materials with Quota Funds
Use the TEXAS On-line APH Ordering system. (Please read Federal Quota Materials from the American Printing House for the Blind - New guidelines for Texas)

The New Jersey cemetery where Whitney Houston was laid to rest Sunday was shut down to fans Monday afternoon after cemetery officials became concerned about growing crowds.
Authorities said groups of people continued to enter the solemn grounds of Fairview Cemetery Monday to pay their respects to the late superstar. The number kept rising throughout the day, a holiday and just one day after Houston was buried.
Around midday, news cameras were asked to leave, and officials started asking fans to move back from the soft ground surrounding Houston's gravesite.
By late afternoon, the crowds were "unbelievable," according to one police officer, and shortly before 3 p.m., cemetery officials asked police to close the site to fans. Only visitors with relatives buried inside Fairview were being allowed in. All others driving up to see Houston were told to move on.
Bridge Johnson, a fan from Irvington, said he understood because the burial was so recent.
"I would say to myself I should wait and come maybe a week or two later," he said. "But then I took a chance and got turned away."
Houston was buried in Westfield's Fairview Cemetery next to her father John Russell Houston, who died in 2003. Her gravesite did not have a tombstone yet but was marked by flowers and other mementos.
One police source told NBC New York that people were jumping the fence at the cemetery shortly after Houston was laid to rest. Police said they expected to patrol the plot around the clock, likely for the next month.
When Fairview allowed the public in earlier Monday to view Houston's burial site, two Westfield police officers stood watch about 30 yards from the grave to ensure the public did not touch or remove anything from the gravesite.
"My heart is just beating a mile a minute just to know I'm close to her soul," said Patricia Wagner of Cranford.
A law enforcement source told NBC New York some members of the Houston family stopped by the cemetery to pay their respects, but became upset and left when they realized the grounds were open to the public.
Cemetery officials told NBC New York the ground was too soft to accommodate the large crowds. But they now face the challenge of how to handle fans who want to return again and again.
The 48-year-old Houston died Feb. 11 in California, hours before she was to attend a pre-Grammy Awards party. No cause of death has been determined.

This is not new, but the above flow chart has worked for me throughout my life. Every January, friends ask about New Year's resolutions and popular ones are typically about changing themselves (less weight, debt, vices, stress) or about jobs (more pay, better education) which will make them happier. But without habits in place, the success rate is at best the success rate of starting up your own business (<80-90%). As with good habits, resolutions are a continual work in progress.
As long as what I'm doing is aligned with my mission* in life, I feel at ease. For me, happiness is not ignorant bliss, but an understanding of who I am now and where I want to be. And that's something to think about all year, not only in January.
(from Delivering Happiness)
* My mission – "To be a decent and respectable human being, considerate of others and the environment. I want to affect the lives of others in a positive way and I hope very much to be a positive role model for others."Read More

Richard Patterson is not happy. The family of black actors that has moved in next door is rowdy, tacky, shameless, and uncouth. And they are not just invading his neighborhood-they're infiltrating his family, his sanity, and his entirely post-racial lifestyle. This wildly theatrical, explosive play on race marks the major debut of Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, member of the Public's Emerging Writers Group.
"Branden Jacobs-Jenkins is a thrilling, bold new voice exploring issues of race with searing intelligence and explosive theatricality," said Public Theater Associate Artistic Director Mandy Hackett. "We are very happy to share this provocative and meaningful play in Public LAB."
Now in its third year, Public LAB allows audiences to see important new plays for only $10, cheaper than the price of a movie ticket. Public LAB, conceived in association with LAByrinth Theater Company, is an annual series of new plays that lets New Yorkers see more of the work they love from The Public in scaled-down productions. Public LAB allows The Public to support more artists, and gives audiences immediate access to new plays in development. The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation supported Public LAB with one of the largest grants ever received by the Public Theater.
BRANDEN JACOBS-JENKINS (Playwright)'s full-length plays include The Change, Neighbors, Zoo, and Heart!!!. He is an alumnus of The Public Theater's Emerging Writers Group. His work has been seen and/or developed at The Public Theater, the New York Theatre Workshop, Soho Rep, PS122, the 2008 and 2009 Prelude Festivals, Princeton University/McCarter Theatre, and Links Hall in Chicago. He is a former playwriting fellow at the New York Theatre Workshop, an alum of the Soho Rep Writer/Director Lab, and a proud member of the ArsNova Playgroup. He is the recipient of the Mary Quaintance Prize for Creative Arts, the Frances LeMoyne Page Award, a 2008 Astral Grant, the 2009 Princess Grace Award for Playwriting and a Fullbright scholar.
Niegel Smith (Director) recently completed a TCG New Generations Fellowship as Artistic Leadership Associate at The Public Theater, and is a founding member of 425D, a director's lab. His New York directing credits include Ether Steeds (Fringe Award - Best Ensemble), We Declare You a Terrorist, Rainy Days & Mondays, Maud- The Madness, One For The Road and LIMBS: A Pageant. He is Associate Director to Bill T. Jones on the new musical FELA! and has assisted directors Jo Bonney, James Lapine, Kristin Marting, Richard Nelson and George C. Wolfe.

LIBYA: Humanitarian operations continue despite ongoing fighting
TitleLIBYA: Humanitarian operations continue despite ongoing fighting
On 30 April, the Libyan government reported that a NATO air strike killed Colonel Qadhafi's son, Saif al-Arab Qadhafi, and three of his grandchildren. NATO issued a statement saying that all NATO targets are military and that individuals are not targeted. On 1 May, United Nations staff relocated to Tunisia as a temporary measure and will continue their work from Tunisia. Humanitarian operations continue.
On 30 April, three sea mines were discovered two miles offshore from Misrata. There are fears that more mines exist. On 1 May,the International Organization for Migration (IOM) ship was delayed from docking but managed to complete an evacuation of close to 1,000 people, while the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) suspended sea operations temporarily.Over a dozen aid ships have evacuated around 12,000 people from Misrata, and delivered over 3,000 metric tons of humanitarian aid.
Government and opposition forces and refugees fleeing Libya were included in the casualties when fighting between Government and opposition forces broke out on 29 April at the Wazin/Dhibat border. Government forces took over the border the morning of 29 April. Warwounded from both Libyan partieswere treated in health facilities in Dhibat and Tatouine.Médecins Sans Frontières(MSF) reported that 16 combatants were transported to Tatouine Hospital.The UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) issued a statement saying that it is concerned that people fleeing Libya could be caught in the cross-fire as government and opposition forces battle for control in the border area. The Tunisian armyincreased its presence at the Libyan border.
Over 28 – 29 April, media reports indicate that about 5,000 people crossed into Tunisia. As Government forces control the checkpoint, some people are also crossing using informal routes rather than the road through Wazin. Therefore, precise numbers of Libyans crossing into Tunisiaare presently unavailable.
Reports from local sources indicate that the port area and other parts of Misrata came under heavy fire on 1 May. Seven deaths and many injuries were reported. There is a need for more capacity at the hospital. From 28 - 29 April, rocket and mortar fire killed at least nineteen people and wounded 35, including a child.

Washington Post-MortemPosted by AMurawa on April 22nd, 2013
Now that we are officially in the offseason, it's time to take a look back and evaluate each team's 2012-13 performance. Here's a look at Washington.
What Went Right
The Huskies opened Pac-12 play with three straight road wins, then backed that up by knocking off Colorado at Hec Ed and it looked like the team was on the verge of turning things around after a horrid non-conference schedule. C.J. Wilcox was leading the way in scoring, having led the team in seven of its last eight games (all wins), Aziz N'Diaye was chipping in offensively and doing his normal yeoman's work on defense and on the glass, and things were, all of a sudden, running smoothly. And then….
What Went Wrong
And then the Huskies proceeded to revert to non-conference form (you know, when they lost home games to Albany, Nevada and Colorado State, the latter by like a million points), dropping eight of their next 10 games and averaging 0.88 points per possession over the losses in that stretch. Abdul Gaddy frustrated Huskies' fans, Scott Suggs was only occasionally involved in the offense, Wilcox struggled with an ankle injury, N'Diaye reverted to his old familiar offensively incoherent self, and the wheels fell off. Worst of all, it was awfully hard to watch at times.

One hundred firms make up AdvisorOne's 2012 Top Wealth Managers, as measured by assets under management per client, with data as of 12/31/11.
Here we present a profile of the crème de la crème of the Top Wealth Managers—those 10 firms that topped the list in in our 2012 survey.
View the list of all 280 firms in our 2012 Top Wealth Managers survey.
Founding principal Ben Beavers, says President and CIO Ted Neild, knew the importance of true independence at the time Gresham Partners was put together as a spinout of a corporate financial planning firm. That independence still drives Gresham today.
Beavers and other founding principals are still principals today, as well, with the firm's priorities unchanged and a long perspective in place. Neild says the way the firm is organized on the investment side preserves a focus on capital preservation and risk control.
That stood the firm in good stead during the 2008 upheaval. Neild says that Gresham's quest to eliminate all conflicts of interest with clients at its founding has led to a firm that is independently owned, does not sell products and does not make money any other way than by providing advice to clients.
"In this day and age," he explains, "with Madoff" and with firms selling poorly performing investment vehicles to clients, "people are focused on aligning their interests and making sure their advisors are true fiduciaries."
'Always Adjusting'
While the founding principles are still intact, says Neild, the firm is "always adjusting … to adapt and keep up" so the focus is always on the right types of things for the client, both organizationally and with regard to investments.
The investment platform is always changing, Neild says, adding that the last couple of years "required more adjustments than at any point in time." While the firm is still anchored to its compass, he explains that preserving and growing capital in real terms is important, and most platforms are geared toward benchmark-oriented relative terms. "We are protecting and growing [the clients' capital]," he says, "the [former] in difficult markets, and the latter in normal markets. "We have made a difference for clients primarily because we have been able to preserve principal in difficult periods."
The firm has escaped largely unscathed from the scandals that have plagued the financial industry, Neild says; it has been careful in its examination of potential investment vehicles and firms. While "some things come out of left field" such as the failure of Lehman Brothers or Bear Stearns, others displayed "warning signs" of risks. "We looked at Madoff several times," he says, "but couldn't get comfortable with the things that we saw."
'Alignment of Interests'
The firm is different from other establishments such as wirehouses, private banks and trust companies because of its alignment of interests, says Neild. "Most people in large firms in the business are in it because they're selling a product, not because they're fiduciaries providing advice," he explains. "That's a clear dividing line between fiduciaries and brokers. In today's day and age, I think that is becoming more important to people because they are starting to understand the difference." He adds, "The press is educating prospective clients for us. It's great!"
He cites other important factors, including the difficulty that small independent firms have with resources. Most "are constrained" in that respect, he says, "and don't have an investment platform that allows them to do what we can do over our history—controlling risk and generating real returns after taxes in very challenging markets. It's difficult to do."
The other is the focus of the firm—which goes back to aligning the firm's interests with those of the clients. Gresham, he reiterates, is focused on serving clients, whereas "many others are focused on acquiring clients and on the sales process. If you look at private banks and [other such firms], their incentives are not to serve clients well but to bring in new assets. Their incentives are aligned differently than serving clients well."
However, he says, "We view it differently, in that if we serve them very well, the best source of new clients is referrals from existing clients." He adds, "Focus on existing clients, and they become a very powerful referral source. It should lead to healthy business and client acquisition over time." It has certainly worked for Gresham, whose growth has been completely organic.
Key to the Future and Chief Concern: Attract 'True Fiduciaries'
While one concern for the firm, of course, is the capital market situation—volatile and risky—another is attracting the right kind of people. While the former situation can make it difficult to focus on "the very important task" of capital preservation, the latter is vital to long-term concerns as well.
Principal-owned Gresham is better able to maintain its independence, says Neild, because "If you have an outside owner, whether private equity or a big bank or some other, interests can become misaligned. Short-term results, or a financial result unrelated to anything to do with clients," becomes the main focus. Employee ownership and a truly independent structure "are really important to being a true fiduciary to clients."
When it comes to attracting new people, he says the same principle applies, adding that the lack of conflicts of interest has acted as a magnet for people committed to being true fiduciaries rather than being sales driven. The latter, he says, "are usually wired the wrong way" to succeed at Gresham.
The firm also looks for people who can focus on multiple generations of clients, since clients seek "a generational concept. What is wealth doing to their children? How best can they be helped in the future?"

Public Distrust of Mechanics and Hair Stylists
William D. Johnson sent the following letter
Dear Round Pegs:
While at my local alignment shop getting the $25 special, I was holding up one of their magazines (actually scoping out the babes on the tool calendars!). Once I looked down at the magazine and read the article from Brake and Front End. Duh! People distrust their mechanics.
What I found interesting was that the survey put mechanics below hair stylists in loyalty. Which makes me wonder: would you and Ray have done better had you bagged the mechanics stuff and done hair? Look at the facts:
1. You don't know a whole lot about cars - I have informally monitored your radio show and found that you misdiagnose about 40 percent of the calls.
2. You like to chatter - which is what hairdressers are a good at.
3. You prefer to discuss the caller's relationships and feelings, rather that the car problems - which is what binds hair stylists to their clients.
As anyone who has seen "The Andy Griffith Show," a barber/stylist is like a therapist for the customer.
Ray would look good in a smock, and you could flit around the shop with a grande latte, advising on romance and hair length, convincing Mrs. Fischbein she really does look 20 years younger in that purple buzz cut.
Perhaps you could have a caller contest to name your new shop!
William D. Johnson
P.S. You could even do a hair call-in show on NPR!

ABC Raves Over Michael Moore's 'Deeply Christian' New Movie; Lauds 'American Populist'
In less than 24 hours, ABC devoted 13 minutes to rhapsodizing over liberal
Michael Moore's new, "deeply Christian" film, Capitalism: A Love Story.
Featuring the director first on Tuesday's Nightline,
co-anchor Terry Moran took his socialistic agenda seriously and opened the show
by teasing, "Is capitalism evil?" (In 2007, the network contributed 21
minutes to Sicko, totaling 34 minutes of promotion for the two films.)
On Wednesday's Good Morning America, co-host Chris Cuomo cooed, "Many critics are calling the documentary Moore's best ever." He also raved, "You demonstrate the [capitalism] question very well in the new movie. And you do it lots of different ways. People will get where you're coming from."
On Nightline, Moran offered a few tough questions to the filmmaker, but made no effort to hide his admiration. He extolled, "He's an American populist in the grand tradition, a provocateur, a comic, a rhetorical bomb thrower." The ABC host marveled that Moore hates capitalism "with a savagely funny...and surprisingly religious passion."
Helping Moore sell his socialistic movie to Middle America, Moran continued, "At the heart of Moore's movie, at the heart of all his movies really, but this time it's overt, is a fierce Catholic faith, committed to justice for the poor and the disenfranchised, scorning a system that produces such inequality."
On his Twitter page, Moran excitedly announced on September 18, "Just saw a screening of Michael Moore's film "Capitalism: A Love Story." Funny, angry, of course. Also deeply Christian."
Cuomo allowed the director to claim that "the last three
popes, actually, to some extent, have talked about the sin of capitalism."
Conservative Catholics would strongly disagree with the point that Catholicism
endorses socialism. Pope John Paul II certainly spoke approvingly of capitalism.
Moran's mostly frothy interview did have one question that GMA host Cuomo overlooked. Cuomo neglected to ask the obvious query: If Capitalism is "evil," as Moores has repeatedly said it is, why charge money to see this film? Why make a profit from it? Moran pressed:
TERRY MORAN: But Moore has gotten plenty himself over the years. His movies have made him rich, leaving him open to charges that he's a hypocrite and a fraud. They look at the money you make and they say, "Why isn't he more sympathetic to the system? He's benefiting from it. He should be proud of the system that's made him so much money."
(Moore piously responded by asserting that he's "embarrassed" by his success
and fortune. And that he makes these films to help the poor.)
Cuomo did occasionally challenge Moore. When the director touted unions as the way to fix capitalism, Cuomo retorted that they "can also abuse their privilege" and end up hurting Americans. And while he asked Moore if he does things for "effect," Cuomo mostly contributed bland questions, such as wondering, "Is it the system? Or is it the rules of that system? Capitalism bad? Or how we allow it to perform?" He later sat by and allowed the activist movie maker to actually trash ABC:
MICHAEL MOORE: You know, I'm talking to employees. People backstage here who aren't-. They don't get to be real employees here, because they don't get benefits. So, they're freelancers. And I said, guy, "I was here two years ago. You were a freelancer. What are you doing here?" Right backstage here, at ABC. He says, "Well, we call ourselves permalancers now." You know? That's because- And they don't get to share in just the basic benefits that an employee who used to have who worked here. What's wrong with that? What is wrong with just giving people the basic things for their hard work?
This is the same thing Cuomo did when he interviewed Moore on the June 12 and 13, 2007 Good
Morning America. The director came on the program and attacked ABC over its Iraq
war coverage: "You might have prevented this war. You, this network, the other
networks. Those 3,500 soldiers that are dead today may not have had to die had
our news media done its job." On that day's Nightline, Moore appeared again for
a total of 21 and a half minutes.
On the September 22, 2009 Nightline, Moran threw in a few harsh descriptions. As the segment neared its end, he pontificated, "So he shambles on. Like some angry overweight prophet of our times, either crazy or brilliant...Traitorous or patriotic, depending on your point of view, but always laughing." However, the anchor closed the piece with this glowing salute: "Well, love him or loathe him, you got to give it to Michael Moore. He gets involved. He's a real citizen."

"People young and old still care about the 1960s and Bob's images remain of interest to collectors, news organizations, historians, and galleries and museums."
Houston, Texas (PRWEB) June 25, 2012
The triumphs and tragedies of the 1960s provided photographer Bob Gomel and his LIFE magazine colleagues extraordinary opportunities to advance American photojournalism.
Gomel said, "LIFE was the world's best forum for photojournalists. We were encouraged to push creative and technical boundaries. There was no better place to work in that extraordinary decade."
Beginning July 19, a collection of Gomel's LIFE images – as well as featured recent work – will be exhibited at the Pictures Plus gallery at 115 Hyde Park Boulevard in Houston. Collectors and photography enthusiasts are welcome to attend a gallery reception at 7 p.m. that evening. To attend the reception, please call 713.524.6913.
The "Multiple Exposures" exhibition includes images of presidents John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard Nixon, The Beatles and other entertainers, and sports figures such as boxer Muhammad Ali, and golfer Arnold Palmer, and the 1963 Freedom March in Washington. An image of activist Malcolm X photographing victorious Cassius Clay in Miami was acquired by the Library of Congress permanent collection.
Unpublished images in the exhibition include Kennedy emerging from America's first space capsule at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, The Beatles in Miami, and 90 heads of state gathered around the catafalque at the Kennedy funeral. Gomel's recent images, which he refers to as his "AfterLIFE" collection, include photographs from around the world and mural-sized watercolor treatments.
Two images in the exhibition were among the first multiple exposures published as photojournalism by LIFE. Another image, a 1969 cover shot of president Dwight Eisenhower lying in state, was the first photograph taken from the dome of the U.S. Capitol Rotunda and fired remotely by wire to a foot switch from 280 feet below.
Dennis Murland, the owner of the Pictures Plus gallery, said, "People young and old still care about the 1960s and Bob's images remain of interest to collectors, news organizations, historians, and galleries and museums. We are pleased to be his partner in this exhibition of his LIFE images and his dynamic recent work from around the world."
Gomel said, "LIFE fostered the popularity and evolution of photojournalism in the 1960s. Through double exposures, remote cameras placed where no human being could be, adapted equipment, and other techniques, we tried to reveal what could not ordinarily be captured on film."
Born in New York in 1933, Gomel earned a journalism degree from New York University in 1955 and then served as a U.S. Navy aviator. Gomel joined LIFE in 1959 and shot for the immensely popular magazine for a decade. He later shot national advertising campaigns for Audi, Bulova, GTE, Merrill Lynch, and Shell Oil, among others.
