The people who lived in eastern Germany around 7,000 years ago are thought to have been some of the first farmers. Now, new archaeological evidence suggests they were also surprisingly skilled woodworkers, crafting intricate water wells some two thousand years before metal tools were forged in Europe.
Sophisticated in construction, four wells discovered near Leipzig were built using stone carving implements and wooden mauls and wedges, said Willy Tegel, a researcher at the Institute for Forest Growth at the University of Freiburg in Germany.

Assistant Sports Editor
FULTON, Ill. —
Unity Christian senior Erin Wessels made school history two years ago.
She did it again Thursday and will do it for a third time today.
In 2011, Wessels and Callie Willoughby, who was then a senior, became the first Unity athletes to advance to the Illinois state track meet. Today, Wessels will become the first Knight to compete at the state indoor track meet.
On Thursday, Wessels signed a letter of intent to continue her athletic career in college, a first for the school, according to administrative assistant Barb Wright.
"It's excellent," Unity principal and former track coach Chris Pluister said.
Wessels will join the track team at Trinity Christian College next year.
"Trinity is my dad's college; that's where he graduated from," Wessels said. "There's such a great sense of community there. They're a great christian college. So I know when I go there, I'll be able to grow in my faith, as well as pursuing a profession that I want to do the rest of my life."
Attending a Christian college was one of the main priorities for Wessels.
"My faith is really important to me," she said. "I wanted to continue to grow in it."
Trinity coach Bob Brickman seemed pretty happy with his end of the bargain, too.
"She's a really good jumper and sprinter," Brickman said. "That definitely fit a need on our team. … I know she's a good fit for Trinity Christian College in what we're looking for as an individual on top of her track talent."
Wessels, who was a key contributor for Unity in volleyball and basketball, said she was looking forward to the specialization that occurs in college.
"I'm really excited to see what it's like training year-round," she said. "In high school, you do volleyball. You do basketball, all those different things. I think by focusing on one sport year-round, I'll be able to improve a lot more and improve with my teammates and build a great team bond."
Pluister and Brickman both think she'll do well at the next level.
"She's got the right work ethic," Pluister said. "She still has room to improve. She hasn't nearly peaked."
Brickman said: "I think she has a lot of upside. I see her being a big contributor for us over the next four years."
Wessels, who said she plans to major in business communications and possibly minor in Spanish, will be joining a successful program.
"I don't know how many years in a row it's been, but we're always top-three in the conference," Brickman said. "We try to stay there. If we can keep signing more individuals like Erin, we should move up in those rankings."
But first she has an appearance to make a state indoor meet. She's ranked 10th in the triple jump.
"I'm really excited to have the opportunity to go," Wessels said. "Before when we were just Unity — and weren't co-oping with Fulton — we didn't have any indoor meets, so I didn't have the opportunity. It's great to be able to. It should be fun. It will be a good experience to compete with other athletes who have a passion for track like I do."
Then she was one more season at the high school level before taking the next step.
"For this last season, I really want to, first of all, work on my triple jump," Wessels said. "It's a new event I just picked up last year, so I'm really excited to have more time practicing that. I got injured last year long jumping, so I want to get back in the swing of that. I always want to improve my sprinting times. There's a lot of goals and I'm aiming toward outdoor state in May."

Compression Devices
A compression device provides a wider range of compression than other traditional compression garments. Easy to use, it also provides steady and comfortable resting compression, as well as higher working compression when the wearer is active. A compression device may be an easy-to-apply alternative for patients, who:
- Struggle donning traditional compression garments, due to weak hand strength, bad back or inability to bend
- Have nonstandard limb shapes
- Have fragile skin or painful limbs that are easily aggravated by traditional compression garments
- Suffer from frequent swelling fluctuation
- Suffer from arterial disease and who cannot tolerate constant high compression levels

The Niners' revamped offensive line suffered a blow Monday when veteran starting C Eric Hietmann suffered a broken fibula that is expected to keep him sidelined from 6-8 weeks.
Heitmann's injury comes two days after head coach Mike Singletary announced that first-round rookie linemen Anthony Davis and Mike Iupati will definitely begin the regular season as starters at right tackle and left guard, respectively.
There are a host of possibilities to replace Heitmann, who will miss the season opener against division-rival Seattle and possibly a few more games after that. The candidates include sixth-year pro David Baas, who was moved from left guard to center when Singletary announced he would be starting Iupati at left guard; Tony Wragge, who is also entering his sixth year at the pro level; and third-year pro Cody Wallace.

A local couple caught after nearly two weeks on the run in a horrific child abuse case are coming back to New Hampshire.
Plaistow residents Roland Dow, 27, and Jessica Linscott, 23, were arrested this week at Universal Studios in Florida—more than 1,300 miles from their home.
The couple on Friday agreed to be transported back to New Hampshire to face a host of charges.
"Travel arrangements are being made and they will be transported to New Hampshire as soon as possible," said Rockingham County Attorney Jim Reams in a statement.
Dow is charged with first-degree assault for allegedly burning and battering Linscott's 3-year-old son earlier this month. Linscott is charged with multiple counts of misdemeanor-level child endangerment. Dow faces up to 30 years in prison.
Rockingham County Attorney Jim Reams said the couple could appear in a New Hampshire courtroom sometime late next week.
Reams said the arrest was the result of the public sending in hundreds of tips, the media highlighting the case nationally, and law enforcement agencies cooperating with each other.
Reams said police have a "suspicion" the couple had help evading authorities. He said anyone who helped the couple will be charged appropriately.
Linscott's son, James, is still hospitalized, recovering from serious injuries. Police said they discovered the boy's injuries after he was treated at Exeter Hospital Nov. 14.
Authorities spent "tens of thousands" of dollars in the hunt for the couple, according to Reams.
The pair have denied media interview requests since their arrest.

RALEIGH – July marks 10 years of operation for the N.C. Ecosystem Enhancement Program, a state Department of Environment and Natural Resources initiative that restores and protects wetlands and waterways for future generations while offsetting unavoidable environmental impacts from economic development.
On July 22, 2003, DENR, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the N.C. Department of Transportation signed a three-party memorandum of agreement that established the program. Through more than 580 projects in North Carolina, EEP has conserved, restored or enhanced more than 640 miles of streams, nearly 30,000 acres of wetlands and about 700 acres of buffers.
"The Ecosystem Enhancement Program's core mission is a public-private partnership to allow economic development projects to continue while enhancing the environment," said John E. Skvarla, secretary of the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
"When executing that mission, the program has been very successful at outsourcing taxpayer risk while advancing public priorities."
EEP offers four mitigation programs to help private and public entities comply with state and federal compensatory mitigation for streams, wetlands, riparian buffers and nutrient offsets. EEP uses receipts from the programs to restore streams and wetlands where the need is greatest by working with state and local partners, including willing landowners. The N.C. Department of Transportation and other developers voluntarily use EEP to move projects forward in a timely and affordable manner.
From its inception, the main goal of the program has been to ensure that state transportation projects are not delayed due to environmental mitigation requirements. EEP is considered a national model for stream and wetlands mitigation, earning recognition in 2005 and 2007 as one of the top 50 new innovative government programs in the nation by Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government, and a prestigious award in 2005 for local watershed planning from the National Association of Environmental Professionals. EEP also was named Natural Resources Agency of the Year in the 2006 Governor's Conservation Achievement Awards. EEP (http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/eep/home) continues to achieve its mission to restore and protect North Carolina's natural resources for future generations while supporting responsible economic development.
"EEP has racked up some impressive numbers in its first decade," said Michael Ellison, the program's director. "But the most important is that zero DOT projects have faced delays because of a lack of mitigation since 2003. EEP has helped to move forward over $14 billion in transportation projects."
· 1.57 million lbs. of nutrients removed
· More than 4,000 In-Lieu Fee Customers Served
· 100 percent customer-satisfaction rate
· Nearly $500 million in contract awards outsourced to the private sector
· 50,100-plus acres of natural areas preserved for future generations
· And zero NCDOT projects delayed because of lack of mitigation since 2003, helping to move forward over $14 billion in transportation projects

It's been a busy day on the regulatory front. The New York Attorney General's office is investigating eight banks for possibly misleading ratings agencies on the quality of mortgage securities, a source says. The Fed is conducting a broad criminal investigation into whether major Wall Street financial firms misled investors on mortgage bond deals, another source says.
Adding to the mix:
–the Senate voted to impose tighter regulations on credit-rating agencies.
–Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is concerned about a Senate proposal that could force banks to spin off their swaps business
–the White House and two state attorneys general said they don't like an amendment to the Wall Steet reform bill that would give the federal government more power than states to regulate banks

Staff Writer
---- — Anthony Harrison carried his daughter Lizzie out through the towering blue doors of Our Lady Good Voyage Monday night, her head resting on his shoulder and her legs, clad in white tights, hanging almost to his knees.
Harrison sniffed, and Lizzie lifted her head, moving a hand to run her fingers across the top of her dad's buzzed hair.
Then, patting her hand on his back as she laid her head down again, she consoled her father who had, at a church Mass, memorialized his other daughter, Caleigh Harrison, now presumed dead after the then-21/2-year-old disappeared from Rockport's Long Beach a year ago this Friday.
"Your smile could light up a room, and your personality could make everyone laugh," Harrison said, as he read aloud from a letter he wrote to Caleigh.
A photo of Caleigh propped in a white basket of flowers and decorated with a bow split the space between two rows of pews to Harrison's left. The mourning father spoke about how Lizzie misses her sister, and said he encourages the now 5-year-old Elizabeth to talk more about Caleigh as he works, too, on improving himself.
"I must strive to be a better person," Harrison read, again addressing Caleigh. "A big part of me is missing, and I won't be whole again until I see you in heaven."
Those throughout the church slipped out handkerchiefs to wipe stray tears as Harrison folded up the letter.
"Love, Dad," he concluded.
Anthony Harrison's parents had arranged the Mass of the Angels for their granddaughter, Caleigh, as the one-year anniversary of her tragic disappearance approached. Antonette and David Harrison Sr. said the service that drew residents to nearly fill the church aimed to celebrate the life of Caleigh, who disappeared while playing on the beach with her mother, Allison Hammond, and sister Elizabeth, then 4, last April 19.
"This is not a sad occasion, but a celebration of her life," said David Harrison Sr. "I get by every day knowing she's in heaven with God and chasing butterflies."
David Harrison thanked those who had supported him and his family, including his boss at CATA, Mayor Carolyn Kirk, who attended the ceremony, and the group Mission for the Missing that had assisted the Harrison family in searches for lost Caleigh.
The elder Harrison also thanked those who had organized a community vigil held in the little girl's honor at the Fishermen's Memorial last May.
On Friday's anniversary date, the family will hold a private remembrance on Stacy Boulevard at the tree they planted last year in memory of Caleigh near the ice cream shop.
The Rev. Eugene L. Alves, longtime pastor at Our Lady of Good Voyage, said during the Mass's homily that the family "should feel privileged" that Caleigh was gone before having sinned and assured family members they would reunite with Caleigh in heaven.
"She now lives in a state of extended happiness," Alves said. "She's there in heaven to help you get through this."
As the service wrapped up, family friend and musician Chelsea Berry sang "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" from an overhead balcony at the back of the church as the family exited the church.
The attendees stood facing forward, the music wrapping around them from behind. One woman, rocking a toddler, tucked a tuft of the small child's blonde hair behind her ear as the girl focused her big brown eyes on Chelsea singing and strumming her guitar to some of "The Wizard of Oz" song's classic lines.
"Someday, I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far behind me," she sang. "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, high above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me."

Robert Hof, Contributor
I cover the collision of advertising and the Internet.
We're just hours away from what will certainly be one of the most massive hypefests of the year: the introduction of Apple's newest iPhone. Even without the benefit of Steve Jobs to add that extra touch of
magic reality distortion to the proceedings in San Francisco, the entire tech world will see a plunge in productivity for several hours starting at 10 a.m. Pacific while they watch and chew over the launch of what is all but now confirmed to be called the iPhone 5.
* Update: Catch Forbes' liveblog of the event here. And here's Apple's own announcement.
No doubt Apple will sell a ton of the new iPhones. Indeed, though I find this hard to believe, iPhone sales could even add a big boost to this year's Gross Domestic Product. Diehard Apple fans, and there are millions upon millions of them, won't be able to resist lining up at Apple stores the night before they become available to be among the first to buy the latest and greatest iPhone.
But you shouldn't be one of them. Here's why I think most of you–not all, but most–would be better off not buying the new iPhone:
* It probably won't be revolutionary. I know–blasphemy! The many leaks of what the new one will look like and the way it will work indicate the new iPhone will, of course, be thinner and faster and sport a bigger screen. So what else is new?
And think about the last time. The iPhone 4S had Siri, the voice assistant that was supposed to revolutionize the way we interact with devices and, oh, by the way, kill Google search. It did neither (though ask me again in a few years, as Siri no doubt steadily improves).
Anyway, let's face it, smartphones in their current incarnation may not get much better fundamentally. As Steve Shankland at CNET recently pointed out, we're in an era of incremental refinement more than revolutionary change. At some point, Apple may well come up with yet another product that actually resets the standard for computing and communication devices. But by all reports, the new iPhone isn't that product. Simply put, you don't need to own this phone.
* There's always a risk that something won't work quite right on the new model, leaving you with buyer's remorse. Apple's better than most at avoiding this sort of thing. But remember that faulty antenna in the iPhone 4 two years ago? Update: One word: Maps.
* The older iPhones are still great. Even though some reviewers criticized Apple for touting a machine that didn't provide many advances, such as a larger screen, the iPhone 4S last year still was widely seen as the best iPhone yet, and still the best overall on the market.
* You will get several of the benefits of the new iPhone just by installing iOS 6–for free. No big screen, no fast LTE data, of course–two biggies, to be sure. But you won't be left with lagging services like you do with many Android phones that can't upgrade to the latest OS.
* The older iPhones are also cheap–or free! For one thing, used iPhones are flooding the market as people get ready to buy the new one. Last month, Sprint Nextel and even Apple itself discounted the iPhone 4S, and it doesn't stretch the imagination to think that when the new model appears, prices for older iPhones will fall across the board. When the iPhone 4S came out, the iPhone 4′s price fell to just $100 and the 3G model was (and still is) free with at AT&T contract. If the pattern holds, doesn't a free iPhone 4 sound pretty sweet?
* Update: Yes, it does sound sweet. The new iPhones will cost from $199 to $399 depending on the amount of memory, but the 4S will fall to $99. And the 4? With a two-year contract, it will indeed be free.
* If you go with an older model, you can also save bigtime on service plan costs. If you go with a prepaid carrier such as Virgin Mobile or Cricket, you have to pay more for the phone, but over a couple of years, their lower-cost data plans save hundreds of dollars. It's not clear whether similar deals will be offered with the new iPhone, but it appears unlikely at the outset–so your only way to get those savings is to go with an older model.
* You may have fewer unlimited-data plan options with the new iPhone. Verizon and AT&T have ended their unlimited-data plans, so that's not new. But on existing phones and contracts, they're grandfathered in, a significant reason to think twice about an iPhone purchase that would require you to switch carriers. Sprint may offer an unlimited-data plan, but that means switching carriers if you're not already on it.
What a LOAD of BS! I have a Samsung Galaxy S II and I have an iPad and there is NO WAY that the Samsung is easier to use than the iPad! HAHA! I SO WISH THAT WAS TRUE! I get SO PISSED using my Galaxy S II, when people around me using the iPhone do so many things so much EASIER than me! I get tired of people saying that Android is easier or better when I'm USING ONE and I KNOW that is total BS! Motti you are FULL of it! How is it "cumbersome" to download movies and music on an iPad?!?! HAHA! You are so ate up with it. Sorry, don't mean to be a jerk, but that is the truth! I USE AN IPAD, and they are NOT "cumbersome" in any WAY! That's just nonsense. I doubt your wife even HAS an iPad. I can prove I have a Galaxy S II, can you prove your wife has an iPad? Yeahhhhh, right.
Interesting article. It's funny to think that we're almost already at the "era of incremental refinement." I'd say Windows Phone 8 is the most revolution smartphone platform right now, but we'll see what Apple reveals tomorrow when the iPhone 5 is actually unveiled.
Robert, you have exceeded your goal of demonstrating shallow thinking. Apple went from near dead to the largest market cap by giving people superior "USER EXPERIENCE" from sw to hw to support to sales.
To take one of your 'reasons' – buying a used phone, you demonstrate extremely poor insight. The largest cost of any smart phone is the total monthly charges, not the phone sale price. So if you save a few bucks and buy an older phone, you save very little of your TCO but your phone will go obsolete faster. i buy a new phone about every 3 years. so the cost of the phone per month is about $15.
So, I was going to buy 3 iPhone 5 this month , and was going to buy a fender roland ready telecaster next month. So you are saying I should buy the guitar this month, and the 3 iPhones next month?
He's just teasing you guys, go get your new iPhones as soon as you can
Hmmmm….don't avail yourself of the latest and best technology (if you can afford it.)??
Ignore the benefits of 4G over 3G??
Pretend that there isn't something special about the Apple "ecosystem"??
What a joke. I suggest you keep your Startac (was a good phone in the day) and smugly look down upon those who wish to move ahead, while tapping out your next piece on your Commodore 64.
Well played, seattleslew.
Maybe you should be writing tech pieces for Forbes. It would certainly be an improvement.
Maybe … just maybe … there's something wrong (and even a little pathetic) about the drive to always have the latest/greatest, no matter the cost, no matter the missed opportunities to do something meaningful with the resources expended, and independent of any real functional need.
Wait, did you just post an article about not buying the new iPhone and in the end said that you're gonna buy it??? That says it all :) everyone's going to want it, just like the previous ones because there are still a lot of steps to complete the evolution process… yeah, I'm getting one as well :)
Then after a few months, there will be an Apple iPhone 5S…!

Man's best friend will now have their own TV network -- humans are allowed to watch too.
The viewer can tune in to see a continuous loop of three to six minute videos for relaxation and stimulation.
There will also be "exposure" programming of things that normally frighten dogs, like thunder and fireworks.
The idea is it will help make dogs less afraid.
DirecTV said the network is "scientifically developed" and will help prevent your pup's mental fatigue, depression and boredom.
DogTV network costs $4.99 each month.
It launches on August 1.

Jan. 13, 2012
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (seminoles.com) - Florida State's Tori Huster and Toni Pressley will be continuing their soccer careers at the professional level. Both former Seminole All-Americans were selected in the 2012 WPS Draft on Friday at the NSCAA National Convention in Kansas City, Mo.
Huster did not have to wait long to hear her named called on Friday afternoon as the Western New York Flash selected the Cincinnati, Ohio native with the first pick in the second round. She joins former Seminole standout Becky Edwards in Western New York as the Flash will look to defend their WPS title in 2012.
The midfielder also made school history on Friday becoming the highest drafted player to come out of Florida State. Edwards held that distinction as she was selected in the second round with the 12th overall pick by FC Gold Pride in 2010.
Pressley was selected with the final pick in the second round and 13th overall by the Philadelphia Independence. The Melbourne, Fla., native is headed to a squad that finished second in the WPS regular season standings and finished as the league's runner-up falling to Western New York in the WPS Championship in penalty kicks.
"We are all thrilled that both Tori and Toni will have a chance to further their career in the WPS," said Florida State head coach Mark Krikorian. "There are a lot of young players that come to Florida State with the aspirations of being on the national team and having the opportunity to play professionally. Both Tori and Toni took advantage of that opportunity. They had very good careers and were vital to our success over the last four seasons. We are really excited for them as they begin a new chapter in their soccer careers."
Huster finished her senior campaign fourth on the team in points with 16 on six goals and four assists. She started all 26 games for the Seminoles in 2011 and wrapped up her four-year career in Tallahassee with 91 starts - fifth most in school history.
In 2011, Huster garnered third team NSCAA All-America, first team All-ACC, first team NSCAA Scholar All-America, first team Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-District and College Cup All-Tournament team honors.
Pressley concluded her four year playing career in Tallahassee tied for third at Florida State in game appearances with 96. She tallied 33 career points on 11 goals and 11 assists, while serving as a three-year starter on the Seminole backline.

136: Science Fair
|Science Fair
Title text: This poster actually inspired a two-hour powerpoint presentation that Al Gore gave around the country.
[edit] Explanation
A science fair involves schoolchildren doing research on a subject of their choice. The purpose is to give them hands-on experience with scientific techniques. Even so, a project based on cunnilingus, oral stimulation of the female genitalia, or any project in which an element of the human female anatomy is displayed, would not be acceptable in a science fair, a setting that is not only public but also involving children.
Especially cute are the notations for a function, its Fourier transform, and its Laplace transform.
The title text is probably a reference to An Inconvenient Truth, a 94-minute documentary film where former US vice president Al Gore teaches the general public about the dangers of global warming. It has been included in science curricula in schools around the world, to the ire of easily bored students everywhere.
[edit] Transcript
- Although it caught me by surprise at the time, looking back I understand why my senior science fair project went over as badly as it did.

Thursday's Letters to the Editor
Published: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 7:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 1:33 p.m.
Gifts vs. taxes
EDITOR: I was struck by the reaction of Sonoma State University anthropology Professor Margaret Purser ("Some topics too close to home for SSU's ethics center," Thursday) to the voluntary gift of American International Group to kick start SSU's Center for Ethics, Law and Society: "What are the issues with a public university accepting corporate funding in this new world?"
Perhaps the question too close to home for Purser should be: What are the issues with any university accepting funding taken by brute force under threat of incarceration and/or forfeiture of personal property? AIG's gift comes from revenue generated by completely voluntary, mutually beneficial exchanges with its customers. SSU's government funding comes from an involuntary, forceful taking by the state for the benefit of certain, but very far from all, of its citizens.
How is a private university any different than a public university except than by the voluntary/involuntary nature of their funding? That certainly is a dilemma that a Center for Ethics needs to address before it even opens its doors to discourse. I agree with the professor that "we need to have this conversation out loud and in public" — both conversations.
Santa Rosa
Greenhouse gases
EDITOR: George Johnston said it is a well-established scientific fact that heat travels freely through any gas, including greenhouse gases ("Climate change," Letters, Friday), which means that climate change caused by the concentration of heat trapping carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is scientifically impossible.
Clearly, Johnston missed the day in seventh-grade science class when they explained about the earth's atmosphere. Carbon dioxide, along with other greenhouse gases naturally occurring in the atmosphere, absorbs and then re-emits a wide range of energy — including heat. This is known as the greenhouse effect, and it keeps our planet a comfortable temperature. Without the greenhouse gases, Earth would have a temperature of 0 degrees Fahrenheit. With too many greenhouse gases, Earth would be like Venus, where the greenhouse atmosphere keeps temperatures around 750 degrees Fahrenheit.
Inspiring words
EDITOR: I was touched by the words of the sixth-grade students from Santa Rosa Accelerated Charter School (Letters, Tuesday). It is amazing that out of the mouths of children come words so truthful and sincere. They remind us of Martin Luther King's own words: "At the center of nonviolence stands the principle of love . . ." This is such a simple thought, yet it escapes most adults.
King was himself a victim of gun violence, and yet he reminded us before his death that there is a higher road to travel and a better world in which to live, if only we are willing to dream.
Thank you students for daring us to imagine the unthinkable — "If no one had a gun, no one would need a gun."
Pensions and budgets
EDITOR: Steven Greenhut ("California, unsaved, speeds toward wall of debt," Sunday) referred to a recent Los Angeles Times report that contended that the cities of Vallejo, Stockton and San Bernardino "became insolvent largely because of their inability to pay for public-employee pensions and health care." It's true that these cities face fiscal challenges, but pensions were/are not the problem.
The real culprit, as identified by the Retired Public Employees' Association of California, was/is the economy, the housing market and financial decisions by city officials. Stockton and San Bernardino had high rates of housing foreclosures and high unemployment, which led to reduced consumer spending and sales tax revenues for local government budgets.
While "total employee compensation" is one of the biggest expenses for cities, it's also true that in well-managed cities those budgets are built with employee costs in mind. Pension costs are a small piece of a total city budget. For example, Stockton's pension costs are only about 6 percent of the total city budget, and San Bernardino's are about 10 percent of that total city budget.

A GREAT DATE: Soft music, an interesting companion, a beautiful night and love and loving. AS A KID: I grew up all over the world because my stepfather was in the service. But I came back to Seattle for high school and college. MY FRIENDS KNOW: That for all my exposure working with the Sammy Davis Jr. Show to the world of private planes, Rolls Royces and famous people, I groove just as much on hot dogs, cotton candy and an interesting conversation with a maid or janitor -- because it's real.

As a child in the South she had a rough time and her lifelong dream has been to have a home of her own. A NORMAL DAY: No day is normal!

Accreditation Commission Actions
We have received the long-awaited letter from the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges. It contains some very good news and some shocking news. This is a somewhat long letter, because I have included the exact wording of the recommendations from the Commission.
Starting with the good news:
At its meeting on January 7-9, 2009 the Accrediting Commission reviewed the "Unauthorized Grade" special report submitted by the college in August 2008, and the report of the evaluation team that visited Diablo Valley College on Friday, September 19, 2008. The Commission acted to accept the special report and noted that the issues of grade security and integrity that were the subject of the special report appear to have been satisfactorily resolved. This was a very difficult challenge for us. We accepted this challenge, faced it together, and I want to emphasize how gratifying this result is for all of us.
On a less positive note:
The Commission reviewed the 2008 institutional Self-Study Report, and the report of the comprehensive evaluation team, which visited us on October 13-16, 2008. The Commission acted to issue Show Cause, which is a serious sanction. The college is required to complete a report by October 15, 2009, which will be followed by a visit of Commission representatives.
According to the letter, DVC has been placed on Show Cause because four of the five deficiencies identified by the 2002 comprehensive evaluation team were not resolved and have been again identified as deficiencies. The letter states: During the period of the Show Cause order, the accredited status of the institution continues.
Under US Department of Education regulations, institutions out of compliance with standards or on sanction are expected to correct deficiencies within a maximum two year period or the commission must take action to terminate accreditation.
Here's the work DVC needs to do:
The team also identified two eligibility requirements that need to be met:
Eligibility Requirement 10 - Student Learning and Achievement: The visiting team confirmed that Diablo Valley College defines and publishes the programs of study leading to an associate degree, certificate, and program of study leading to transfer. Program expected learning and achievement outcomes, however, have yet to be developed and published.
Eligibility Requirement 19 - Institutional Planning and Evaluation: The visiting team confirmed that Diablo Valley College has a documented Educational Master Plan, Facilities Master Plan and technology master plan. However, planning processes and outcomes need to be consistent, integrated, evaluated, and updated. Technology planning is not integrated with institutional planning. The institution does not systematically assess the effective use of technology resources or use the results of evaluation as the basis for improvement. Diablo Valley College completed its last technology master plan in 2001. The plan was comprehensive and included implementation timelines over a three year period through 2004. Since that time, there has been no comprehensive and integrated effort to guide the development and implementation of technology resources over the last four years.
Finally, the Show Cause report we submit in October must include an addendum developed by the three colleges and the district addressing a district recommendation which states: In order to improve its resource allocation process, the district should expedite development of a financial allocation model including the following:
The commission will set additional deadlines for us to fully resolve the other recommendations contained in the team report and we will certainly begin work on those, but our primary focus needs to be on the recommendations that must be addressed between now and October.
In closing I want to reiterate:
This is about the college we were....
This is not the college I found, or the college we are today.
In the 18 months that I have been at Diablo Valley College, I have come to know a college that has faced difficult challenges, and has demonstrated the ability to work together to resolve those challenges.
This is another challenge.
We don't have a lot of time, but we have the right people, and the right attitude, and Diablo Valley College will meet these recommendations within the time constraints designated by the commission.

Ice Kacang/ABC (Malaysian Shaved Ice)
Other than BBQ, my summer favorite has got to be shaved ice—a thirst quencher and lovely dessert for the hot summer days. Shaved ice is very popular in Malaysia; called Ice Kacang (in Penang) or simply ABC elsewhere in Malaysia, it's a popular dessert commonly sold by street vendors. In a hot and humid country like Malaysia, nothing beats the icy cold and pleasant dessert that soothes the throat and cools down the body. Plus, everyone loves the sweet-tasting shaved ice, with numerous toppings such as red beans, creamy sweet corn, grass jelly, attap chee (palm nuts), etc. You can also add ice cream, fruits, peanuts, and/or raisins…
The version I made this afternoon is the most common ones found in Penang. I would have used some palm sugar or gula melaka to flavor the ice kacang but I ran out of it. As a result, I used dark brown sugar instead, and added a little red coloring as ice kacang is always red in color.
Shaved ice has certainly become more popular in the United States now, with Chinese (Taiwanese) dessert shops sprouting all over Chinatown or Asian suburbs. It's a great alternative to the likes of frozen yogurt, ice cream, or sorbet. Try it out!

Yum! Miss Ice Kachang so much!
Wasn't brave enough to order it on my visit to M'sia last year. Kept being reminded not to eat uncooked stuff, so there was no chendol nor rojak either :(
When I was growing up in Johor, it was called ice kachang. I only heard it was called ABC back in 2006 while holidaying in Malaysia.My cousin who is staying in Johor, told me and other cousins who are living overseas ABC stood for Air Batu Campur. Looks like the 'older' generation calls it ice kachang while the 'younger' generation calls it ABC
Its nice that add in a scope of ice-cream, especially durian ice-cream.
Very soothing, thanks! Shaved ice seems to be eaten over Asia, and I love the lighter and watery texture than that of ice cream during high hot summer. That's the great icy dessert Asian climate gave birth :)
This was my favorite thing to eat in Singapore!
Ice shaved is one of my fave for hot sunny day. In Indonesia, we call this es campur (mixed ice). It contains atap chee, mung beans, cendol (made from glutinous rice), pineapple, young coconut meat, tape (fermented cassava), shredded cantaloupe, and avaocado. Topped with shaved ice, red syrup and chocolate condensed milk.
Since living here, I usually go to halo-halo seller in town. Too many ingredients to make :)
That looks great. I love all shaved ice desserts. I would do anything for one right now.
I must say I've always preferred cendol to ice kacang (not really sure why, I suspect it's the coconut milk haha!), but your ice kacang looks so amazing that I would happily eat it. Lovely photos as always. :)
I did not know it is also known as ABC…I thought ABC means that savory soup with corn and carrot. :P I like my ice-kacang with lots of attap seeds. Hey, I just bought my Ninja blender ( I remembered you recommended it in one of your posts some time back). Good buy for me as I have been making a lot of fruit/veg smoothie. Thanks.
This is so interesting! I've never seen anything like it, but somehow I want a bite (smile). I'm going to click on that grass jelly link…
Love my ice kacang with just the gula melaka and lots of nuts. There is a famous ice kacang stall in the Old Town food court in PJ. Cendol is known as grass jelly?
This has got to be the most adventurous ( in terms of toppings) shaved ice ever. Wow I am only used to shaved ices being drenched in syrups. A condensed milk topping is as adventurous as I get.
I love ABC! I didn't know they put condensed milk. I think the one I normally have is with evaporated milk.
Ice kaakng is my fav summer treat–I like it more than ice cream (Shh…)..sometimes when we can get the stuff from the Asian market…we add jack fruit, purple yam and flan to it and it's perfect!
Now I have a craving for this! I can just taste it…sigh…i'll have to wait until December to be able to eat such things :(
Ice Kacang is just a simple mix of shaved ice, kacang, jagung, lengkong, milk and syrup just like in Ais Kacang lyric(Malaysia kid song)
'Ais kacang, ais ais kacang
Bila cuaca panas dan rasa dahaga
Singgah di gerai, ais kacang dipinta
Susu dan jagung
Kacang dan lengkong
Air gula berwarna…
Campur semua
Enak rasanya
Kegemaran kita semua'
But when people start to mix it with other ingredients such as, laici, longan, ais cream and many more, then it become ABC(Air Batu Campur-Mixed Ice)which suit it best…However, for older generations, this will always be a Ice Kacang.
simply delicious! and this is very similar with Filipino dessert, we call, Halo-halo. Its just that we put usually put the toppings first on a glass and topped with shaved ice, leche-flan and ice cream.
For a shortcut version of durian ice cream…we only have frozen durian here so I mash the pulp and just add it to the best vanilla ice cream in the grocery store…voila…instant durian ice cream without the fuss! But since the durian is sweet enough, I add it to the light vanilla ice cream…less sugar added!
This looks great! I love how cool and refreshing Asian desserts can be compared to heavier American cakes and frostings. Definitely great for summer.
that looks so, so good. the toppings especially!
Great, I like mine with lots of attap chee, and preferably lots of gula melaka syrup and evaporated milk.
I could use one now.
Damn unpredictable weather in Ipoh lately, Bee.
The best ice kacang in Penang is at Hot & Spicy Cafe, Jalan Air Itam (main road), in front of the old Choon Nam cinema, opposite Public Bank Air Itam branch, just a few doors away from Shell petrol station.
RM2.80 per plate with ice-cream.
Just wanted to say that I love this dessert. I had a couple of times at malaysian restaurants and its yummy. I like how they blend different flavors into one. We have a similar dessert in Indian cuisine which is called Kulfi Falooda whichalso has different ingredients mixed into one.
i came from johor. over there they serve chocolate syrup and ice cream over ice kacang. and salted toasted peanuts to top it off. u might wanna try it, it's yummy!
ps: looking at ur food blog makes me wish im back home! but thanks for the wonderful recipes! great job! :)
Ahhh new discovery, I was wondering how Ice Kacang can be made without the ice shaving machine. The idea of using a blender is genius!!!
P.S. I love your blog
Isn't the red coloring meant to be from using rose syrup/cordial?
Sedap pasti ni :D

UPDATE 12/12/12 10:03 p.m.:
A man fled into a neighbor's house from an attack with a shovel by a relative who was later Tased by sheriff's deputies while he was taken into custody this afternoon, according to the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office.
The sheriff's office first learned of the incident when the alarmed neighbor on Brookwood Road called to report an intruder in the house at 2:05 p.m.
The Woodside man who had fled into the neighbor's house told deputies that his relative, identified as Milo Imrie, 23, of Richmond, a veteran with combat training, had hit him in the back with a shovel near his home in the area of 150 Wildwood Way, sheriff's spokeswoman Rebecca Rosenblatt said.
The man was treated for his injuries at the scene.
The sheriff's office warned residents that the perpetrator could still be in the area with the shovel and was potentially dangerous and they began searching the neighborhood for the attacker.
He was located at about 4:20 p.m. in the 2300 block of Woodside Road but when deputies tried to take him into custody, he resisted, and deputies used a Taser to subdue him, Rosenblatt said.
Imrie was transported to a hospital to be treated for his injures. No deputies were injured in the confrontation.
Imrie is also undergoing psychiatric evaluation in the hospital but is expected to be booked into jail on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, Rosenblatt said.
The San Mateo County Sheriff's Office is advising the public of a potentially dangerous individual in the Woodside Area.
The person is a white male, 5 foot 8 inches tall, 160 pounds with long sandy blonde hair and a full beard.
He was last seen in the vicinity of 150 Wildwood in the Town of Woodside, wearing a black t-shirt and blue jeans.
The subject was armed with a shovel and is presumed to be dangerous.
If you see this individual or any suspicious activity, do not approach - call the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office immediately by dialing 9-1-1.

Crain's Best Places to Work in NYC has been announced, and Criteo is #10!
If consumers only spend 5% of their time searching, how can search marketers reach them during the remaining 95% of the time they're online? Only 13% of people perform shopping related searches daily, so executives from a few companies like Google, IgnitionOne and Criteo still believe search marketers can find an option in display - especially since more marketers have begun to accept real-time bidding and programmatic buying as a viable option to improve strategies.
Edwards Wildman Palmer, Jones Day, Morgan Lewis & Bockius and Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati have won appointments advising investors on a Series-D funding round for French display advertising company Criteo. The latest funding round, which was led by SoftBank Capital and saw the firm rake in €30m, included a group of investors from Bessemer Venture Partners, Yahoo Japan, SAP Ventures and Adams Street Partners.
United Kingdom
Display advertising is an important part of digital marketing, but deciding which platform to go with and how much budget to allocate is a tricky decision for advertisers.
Display retargeting company Criteo has been profitable since 2009, but that hasn't kept it from raising extra cash on the side. In its latest round announced Tuesday, the New York firm raked in 30 million euros ($38.9 million) led by SoftBank Capital, which boasts an investment portfolio that includes The Huffington Post, Zynga and Gilt Groupe.
This morning, headlines are buzzing with the announcement of Criteo's series D fundraising of 30 million euros, led by Softbank Capital, Yahoo! Japan, SAP Ventures, Adams Street, and Bessemer. Previous investors in the French startup include Elaia Ventures, IDInvest Partners, and Index Ventures. This fundraising will put the company ever-closer to the arbitrary burden that most French entrepreneurs have put on Criteo – to become the next $1Billion company.
Criteo, the global leader in performance display advertising, today announced a €30 million round of financing led by SoftBank Capital to support the company's hyper-growth trajectory. Profitable since 2009, Criteo has continuously delivered growth, exceeding all forecasts since the company's founding. The company now serves more than 3,000 advertisers worldwide, with the US being the number one revenue generating market.
Criteo, the performance display advertising company, just nabbed about $40 million in additional venture funding. The Series D round, led by SoftBank Capital, gives the Paris-based company an $800 million valuation, according to sources, although Criteo declined to comment on the figure. Previously, Criteo had raised just over $23 million from investors that include Bessemer Venture Partners and Index Ventures.
Retargeting display provider, Criteo, has announced a deal with Facebook that allows marketers to bid in real-time to buy ad impressions on the social networking site. Criteo has tied down a partnership with Facebook Exchange. It means the real-time bidding buyer can now offer valuable advertising real estate on the social network. Criteo appears to have moved quickly to be part of the service after Exchange's initial emergence yesterday.

CLINTON — Ashford students, faculty and staff met with Gov. Terry Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds Tuesday to talk about the university and state education initiatives.
"We've invested about $40 million and brought 400 jobs that probably wouldn't be here otherwise," Ashford University Vice President and Campus Director John Ballheim told the state leaders during a tour of the campus.
In the past years, the university has upgraded its science facilities and other technology as well as added a locker room and concession area to its athletic facilities on 14th Street, among other investments.
Beyond the financial investments, Ashford President Richard Pattenaude talked about the steps the company has taken to increase student retention and move away from its alleged focus on student recruitment. Those steps include steps such as adding more full-time faculty and reducing the amount of admission representatives. Some of those steps were in response to the university's initial accreditation denial from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, which last month reversed its decision and approved a five-year accreditation for Ashford.
"Student success is really good business for us," Pattenaude said.
Ashford, along with other for-profit colleges, last year came under fire from Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, for its exponential growth and recruitment practices. Branstad Tuesday called the criticism "unfortunate."
"I think Ashford has done some great things for Clinton. It's created jobs, it's purchased buildings in the community, built athletic facilities and it focuses on education. We also appreciate when a company makes a $40 million dollar investment in Iowa. We want to encourage and support their success," Branstad said.
After the tour of the campus, Branstad and Reynolds spoke with faculty, staff and members of the Student Government Association about the initiatives Iowa is implementing, such as the STEM Advisory Council that promotes science, technology, engineering and math programs.

I would like to say a few things about our county. Most of the people in it are good. We have people who still care and take their time thinking of others, which is a benefit that will help and show the younger generation that people still care about what they have for their future.
I live in a neighborhood that does not just have a day of caring. It is every day with them. It may be a small, county community, but we have the most caring and talented people anywhere.
We see the articles about all the bad things the grown children are doing and some people blame the parents for not raising those people right. You can do your best, sometimes it does not work and the ones who stand up and blame the parents may find out when their children are grown.
We are concerned about bullying in school, but what about older people being made fun off and stand before a group and tell jokes about how older people walk. They too will be old some day, but that is where our children get their ideals from, an adult they are supposed to look up to.
For the full letter to the editor, read the Weekender print or e-Edition of the Glasgow Daily Times.

It's hard not to feel at home when one walks into Brooklyn ARTery.
Warm colors and fabrics adorn the walls, shelves and furniture, upbeat music plays and the conversation flows, as co-owners Susan Siegel and Jocelyn Lucas-Rosenberg excitedly chat with customers and eachother about the opening of the store.
"I feel like people are stopping by our home," Siegel said. "It's been wonderful. We're getting such good feedback. People are so happy to have a gift shope and a place to take classes."
The manifestation of a physical shop has been a long time coming for the pair, who began working together to bring the ARTery to the farmer's market earlier this year.
"When Susan wanted to gather signatures [for the crafts market] from Rugby Road, I helped because I lived on Rugby Road," Lucas-Rosenberg said. "We talked, and we shared the same vision. By the time we got back to my house, we decided to [work together]."
The shop, at 1020 Cortelyou Rd., is also a place for people to teach and take artisanal classes, interact with other members of the community and is an outlet for local artists to sell their work, Siegel said.
"It's a community hub," she continued. "The idea that you can get a card in a place other than Duane Read, and the idea that we can shop locally. It's supporting Brooklyn artists and fair trade in a difficult economy."
The shop is also doing what it can to support those in need. Saturday, Oct. 17 and Sunday, Oct. 18 from 9-11:30 a.m., people can drop-off hot food, including pasta, rice and beans, and soup, to be donated to people in the Rockaways who were directly affected by Hurricane Sandy.
"We're a community that can [afford to] give back," Lucas-Rosenberg said.

In his series When Morning Comes, Brandon Thibodeaux uses the camera to explore ideas of community, faith, and tradition. What began in 2009 as a personal pilgrimage to the Mississippi Delta resulted in an ongoing project that has penetrated the facade of five villages resting on the northern edge of the Delta. With names like Alligator, Bo Bo, and Mound Bayou (the country's oldest African American city), Thibodeaux's images encourage us to connect with the people and places of these remote, yet tight knit communities.
