U.S.-China Partnership Chief Joins EPA, Partnership Expands Under New Leadership
May 18, 2010
SOUTH ROYALTON, VT -- President Obama has appointed Professor Tseming Yang, director of Vermont Law School's U.S.-China Partnership for Environmental Law, to serve as deputy general counsel for international affairs of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Yang, whose research and teaching have focused on U.S. and international environmental law, will assume his new duties as of June 1. He will support the EPA's efforts on international and tribal affairs through his expertise in international law, knowledge of foreign environmental governance systems, and past work on federal Indian law. Yang will work most directly with the EPA's Office of International and Tribal Affairs but also expects to work on bilateral and multilateral efforts across the agency.
Yang, who will join two other deputy general counsels at EPA, will report directly to EPA General Counsel Scott Fulton, who was nominated by President Obama and confirmed by the Senate in 2009.
"I am excited about the opportunity to serve President Obama's EPA under the leadership of Administrator Lisa Jackson and General Counsel Scott Fulton" said Yang, who will be on a leave of absence from VLS, where he joined the faculty in 1998 and became director of the U.S.-China Partnership in 2007.
He also was a member of the EPA's National Environmental Justice Advisory Council from 1998 to 2003 and chaired the International Subcommittee in 2002-03. He was a J. William Fulbright Scholar at Tsinghua University Law School in Beijing during the 2005 fall semester.
VLS Dean Jeff Shields said President Obama's selection of Yang for one of the EPA's top posts underscores the innovative work being done by the school's U.S.-China Partnership. "This is an extraordinary honor for Professor Yang and certainly reflects well on the faculty and staff of Vermont Law School," Shields said.
Taking on the leadership of the U.S.-China Partnership is Siu Tip Lam, who was promoted from her position as deputy director. The partnership also is adding two new assistant directors and moving to larger quarters on campus to strengthen VLS's position as the premier American law school working on environmental and energy governance issues in China.
"I am honored to have been chosen as the new director of the U.S.-China Partnership," Lam said. "Vermont Law School and its partners will continue to expand our efforts to assist Chinese citizens and grassroots organizations to strengthen policies and laws that affect environmental justice."
Lam joined VLS in 2009 as an assistant professor of law and the deputy director of the U.S.-China Partnership. She came to VLS from the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office, where she was an assistant attorney general in the Environmental Protection Division for 11 years. During her tenure there, she enforced state environmental laws and litigated throughout the Massachusetts court system, including the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court. Before that, she practiced law with the Boston firm of Brown, Rudnick, Freed & Gesmer as a litigation associate. She graduated from Harvard-Radcliffe Colleges with a bachelor's degree in East Asian Studies and received her law degree from Northeastern University Law School. A native of Hong Kong, she speaks Mandarin Chinese and Cantonese.
"Professor Yang leaves the China program in very good shape and we are confident that Director Lam will continue to build on the wonderful platform established for this young program over the last four years," Shields said.
China's rapid economic growth has resulted in severe environmental problems, including greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming worldwide. Every year, an estimated 460,000 people die prematurely in China due to exposure to air and water pollution, according to a World Bank study.
In 2006, VLS in collaboration with Sun Yat-sen University launched the U.S.-China Partnership to provide greater knowledge, skills and academic infrastructure to solve environmental and energy problems in China through the rule of law. Since then, the partnership has received more than $5 million in grants from the U.S. Agency for International Development, trained more than 1,000 individuals in environmental and energy law, helped to expand Sun Yat-sen University's environmental law program, fostered a variety of research and policy development projects, started an exchange program for young environmental professionals and conducted numerous workshops.
The partnership's most recent initiative was a series of workshops in China earlier this month with China's Supreme Peoples Procuratorate (SPP), the U.S. Department of Justice and the EPA to discuss using public interest litigation to protect Chinese citizens from pollution and other environmental violations. VLS, Justice Department and EPA officials advised Chinese prosecutors on how civil lawsuits and criminal prosecutions are used for environmental issues in the United States. Lam, Yang and David Mears, director of the VLS Environmental and Natural Resources Law Clinic, represented VLS at the workshops.
"These developments are real opportunities for the partnership to continue expanding our efforts to build China's capacity to solve its environmental and energy problems," Lam said. "We're working to establish a strong network of environmental law professionals in Guangdong Province and Beijing and are expanding the collaborative effort to other educational institutions on the national level as well as key government agencies. Through these efforts, the program is giving Chinese legal professionals, government officials and others the tools to become better environmental problem-solvers."
VLS's partners include Sun Yat-sen University, the Center for Legal Assistance to Pollution Victims at the China University of Political Science and Law, the Regulatory Assistance Project, the China Environment Forum at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, and China's National Development and Reform Commission.

Please use the buttons below to see more information on Harlequins and matches between Exiles and Quins over the years.
London Irish
Fixture Type: Aviva Premiership
Match Date: Sat 29 Mar 2014
Kick Off: 15:00
Venue: Twickenham Stoop
Referee: Andrew Small
TV Match Official: Keith Lewis
Assistant Referee: Gareth Copsey
Assistant Referee: Andrew Watson
The hosts scored three tries to nil in a result that could have been so different had execution not let Brian Smith's side down.
There were three at least three occasions where Irish could have crossed the white-wash and had they, the outcome of the match could have been different.
The Exiles had trouble before kick-off as Captain George Skivington and flanker Kieran Low had to withdraw with back injuries. Ian Gough and Jebb Sinclair came into the starting team. Centre Eamonn Sheridan also withdrew after failing a late concussion test. That paved the way for Academy star, Tom Fowlie, to step into the centre with Fergus Mulchrone and he gave a fantastic account of himself.
Irish had the wind behind them in the first half and almost crossed for a try in the opening minute. A brilliant move saw Ofisa Treviranus and Matt Parr combine and the ball was passed from Shane Geraghty to Topsy Ojo who juggled the ball and just lost it at the vital moment when a try looked certain. Credit to Sam Smith who harried Ojo into losing the ball.
For all the Irish early pressure it was the hosts that took the lead on 13 minutes. New Zealand International Nick Evans used all of his experience and scored an opportunistic chip and chase try under the poles to the jubilation of the home support.
Referee Andrew Small penalised England Captain Chris Robshaw in the defensive line that gave James O'Connor the chance to get his side on the board which he duly accepted. Captain for the day Shane Geraghty had earlier turned down the chance to go for goal by opting to kick to the corner.
Nick Evans kicked his first penalty goal of the afternoon before Tom Fowlie, making his first Premiership start for the Exiles, put a great shot on Matt Hopper to force the ball forward. A Harlequins player picked the ball up and gave Irish a penalty shot. O'Connor kicked his second to cut the Quins lead to four points.
Irish had all the territory and possession and were beginning to get rewarded. Another offside penalty on the stroke of half time gave O'Connor the chance to reduce the arrears to just one point and he made no mistake to make the half time score Harlequins 10 London Irish 9.
The opening ten minutes of the second half was always going to be crucial. Irish got through this period unscathed but were unable to stop Nick Evans kicking his second penalty of the game only one minute later. Only minutes earlier James O'Connor had a long range penalty that missed to the right of the posts that would have given his side the lead.
Harlequins were beginning to dominate possession and territory and with the crowd behind them, began to work their way into scoring opportunities. the Exiles best chance in the second half came when Marland Yarde broke down the left hand touch line. The England winger came very close to scoring but when he tried to pass the ball back inside Harlequins were able to intervene and avert danger.
The hosts scored their second try of the game with 10 minutes remaining. Danny Care collected the ball from the driving maul five metres out and sent a wide pass to Sam Smith who dived in at the corner. Conor O'Shea's side were after a bonus point and when Mike Brown scored four minutes from the end the crowd believed it might be possible.
The Exiles however didn't allow a fourth score and the game finished Harlequins 23 London Irish 9. the Exiles welcome Newcastle Falcons to Madesjski Stadium in two week's time for Round 19 of Aviva Premiership rugby.
Score sequence (London Irish first): 0-7, 3-7, 3-10, 6-10, 9-10, 9-13, 9-18, 9-23
Scorers: Harlequins: Evans (13), Smith (70), Brown (76); Conversions: Evans; Penalties: Evans (32, 51); London Irish: Penalties: O'Connor (25, 35, 40)

Linux Expo a Smashing Success!
For three days in May (28, 29, 30), the normally tranquil Duke University Campus was transformed into a raucous playground for geeks and hackers as the Fourth Annual Linux Expo was held at Duke's Bryan Center.
By all accounts, this year's Expo was a smashing success. Red Hat's Marketing Director, Lisa Sullivan, deserves special thanks for organizing and directing the event. Many others, from Key Note Speaker Linus Torvalds to the blue-shirted Duke University catering staff, were instrumental in making it a memorable three days.
According to Sullivan, approximately 1500 visitors were registered as paid attendees, while another 350 to 500 were registered as speakers, VIPs or other gratis attendees. Attendees ranged from as far away as Korea, Finland, Colombia and Alaska. Some 34 exhibitors showed their products and services.
The speakers included:
Eric S. Raymond gave an inspired, scholarly overview of hacker motivation in his "Homesteading the Noosphere" speech.
Miguel de Icaza, despite troubles with the overhead projector, shared much about the technical details and future features of "GNOME, The GNU Network Object Model Environment" GUI.
Mark Mathews described his success as a consultant and Linux programmer in his talk, "Developing Linux Software for Fun—Turns into Profit".
Jon "maddog" Hall described his encounters with Linux users worldwide during "Linux Around the World".
The exhibitors included:
Corel Computer Corporation displayed their new Linux-based NetWinder Network Computer.
Digital Equipment Corporation exhibited their latest generation Alpha processors.
Linux Hardware Solutions showed off some of their line of, well, Linux hardware solutions.
Caldera, Red Hat and Turbo Linux were there presenting their latest Linux distributions.
Here are some highlights of Linus's views on important topics for the future of the Linux Kernel:
The 2.2 release: look for a code freeze in about a month with the next stable release, Kernel 2.2, to follow as soon as late July or early August.
SMP: Symmetrical Multi-Processing is currently one of Linus's favorite features of the kernel; expect continued development and enhancement of SMP in future releases.
Merced: Linus is not particularly impressed with or concerned about Intel's upcoming 64-bit processor, code-named Merced—he actually prefers DEC's Alpha architecture. He did say porting Linux to Merced should be no problem once GCC is optimized for Merced.
Java: While Linus would like to see an officially supported Java Development Kit from Sun, he is still not impressed with Java and would prefer to stay out of the Microsoft/Sun clash over Java purity.
Emulation: Linus would prefer to see native Linux applications and does not like the idea of emulating other operating systems for the purpose of running applications.
Of course, Linus had much more to say, but the gist of his speech was that with more time and some more good luck, Linux will continue to move towards complete world domination. Judging from the air of excitement and the buzz of optimism pervading this year's Linux Expo, Linus is exactly right.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

"I hit him with my shoes... if he had given me the medal like I told him to, I wouldn't have had to hit him!" -- 8-year-old Rhoda Penmark in "The Bad Seed"
I'd also like to add that, as a professional performing classical musician myself for many years (as well as a former competitive skater), it is rare for any skater to give a compelling "character" interpretation in a program. Yes, I believe it is important for a skater to know any story/character/meaning behind a given piece of music. It is then up to the skater to decide what to do with that knowledge, which does not necessarily have to be an "acting out" of anything in order to be compelling.
Ladies' exceptions, IMO: I do think Katarina Witt understood and was interpreting Carmen in '88. Janet Lynn's interpretation of Debussy's "Afternoon of a Faun" is legendary. There are probably others, but I can't think of any at the moment.
Michelle Kwan is considered a supreme artist by many fans, but she certainly never acted out the characters of Tosca or Salome. Yet they were sensational programs. Yes, she wore an appropriate enough (skating) costume for Salome, but I'll never be convinced that she was acting out the role of a sex-starved maniac obsessed with seducing John the Baptist. The music itself is powerful and she skated and reacted through the music, not the true personality and mental instability of the character. And it worked.
"I hit him with my shoes... if he had given me the medal like I told him to, I wouldn't have had to hit him!" -- 8-year-old Rhoda Penmark in "The Bad Seed"
Ice Alisa , Yu-na studied ballet with Evelyn Hart (how extensively I don't know), who was a prima ballerina with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet.
This is a good remark; I like when someone tries to rationalize what he has before the eyes, instead of throwing the first things that come to the mind ((:Concerning the emotional distance quite a few posters said they felt about Yuna's new programs ------------and about Michelle Kwan being such a supreme reference in the matter of emotion in figure skating:
I just want to add my two cents by saying how figure skating is a TV-mediated sport where our experience/ appreciation is more than incidentally depends on camerawork, I invite people here to imagine Kwan's skating without those closeups of her often emotional facial expressions which otherwise are invisible to viewers present at the rink. Just imagine her skating without those long victorious spiral sequences during which the TV screen is filled up with the closeup shots of Kwan's face with a radiant smile and wet eyes (the spiral sq, besides, is now gone), etc, etc. In conclusion, what I want to say is that much of the power that fans attribute to Kwan's skating owes to the particular, established way of filming figure skating (for instance, giving the impression of intimacy with a skater through closeups during the spiral sq and dramatic ending pose, etc.). In other words, please factor in the particular type of camerawork we got from KBS or SBS in your assessment of the emotional quotient of Yuna's skating, and of course, also the effect of the absence of a long spiral sequence, which is a bit like a 'kiss and cry zone' within a program.
What actually bothers me is the existence of this supreme emotional reference that theguitarist mentions. For two reasons: one, which is obvious, is that having such reference as a meter for any other skating performance kills the individuality of all the skaters. and lets not even mention when people try to sell this highly subjective meter as an universal belief. This way, judging figure skating becomes a farce.
The second issue is the word emotional. I apologize if I go off topic again, but after all, I take pleasure in expressing my ideas
The term emotion is a very tricky monster, so to speak. Because it deals with something much much more complex than we can imagine. emotions have their roots in our personality, life experience, our subconscious and inconscious, etc. We think we can easily analyse them, and say My emotions came from my appreciation of this performance and/or music.
Reality is different. A lot of things must be taken in account, and one of them is the context of the performance. In this case, its competitive environment: when we see an athlete nailing element after element, we are not just happy for the skater. We feel the excitement coming from our own competitive spirit (shall we call it, competitive greed?). Something that is naturally rooted in any human being - for biological reasons, I suppose. What we see in these skating competitions, what makes them so appealing, what make us fan of a skater, is the projection of our competitive nature. We unconsciously identify in this or that athlete and we want him to win because we want to feel the satisfaction of our killer instinct. Some people loved to go to the war, as absurd as it seems, for this very reason. In times of peace, the war instinct transfers in sports. So we study and discuss competitive strategies as we would do in a military attack. Lets face it: we are much less pacifistic than we think ((:
All this to say is that, taking the love for Michelle Kwan as an example: part of this love, of all this overwhelming emotions the fans feel in those moments, comes from the pleasure of seeing her win, beating everyone else once again, like a sparkling war machine we unconsciously love.
Nationalism is an other unconscious element of it. Take the Olympics. Suddendly, the nationalities of the skaters count much more than before. They represent a country. Its also a competition, or better saying a fight between nations. But a fight between nations is also called war. My theory is that the Olympics are considered so highly, as a stand-out competition, because they are a mini-war. And emotions run higher than before for the adrenaline of the war, of our killing instincts that burst out. All the media furore around the Games, that some people (rightly) cant stand, is a minor reason of the excitement and the reverence that the word Olympics exude. Something much deeper, hard to admit, is at stake.
Now that Ive gone OT enough, I try to get back to the present discussion. It is true that the skaters who dare to go beyond the conventional manners set in the sport, sometimes are not recognized by the judges. Which leads to the fact that we see a lot of program/performance that goes along with the rules, and thats it. I believe a lot of skaters would like to take that same brave route and doing something extraordinary, but in the end, they, or their coaches, or parents, chose to go with the easiest way. Which, of course, is not that easy as it seems. The bitter truth is that were not talking about lart pour lart here, but about a sport that requires money, time, sacrifice, etc. (and I say this without pity toward the skaters, because skating is their choice, no one is forcing them). Yes, its true that an artistic program can still be made and win according to the rules. But a great amount of creativity coming from choreographers and skaters is required. And you cant do anything if there is not creativity, you cant make it happen. And considering choreographers have to make a living, we cant blame them too much for being faithful to the conventions.
So in the end we must conclude that this unique, and in some way interesting conflict between art and competition has no solution, except in rare cases. Figure skating is not the place in wich search art, because the competitive side will always prevail for one reason or an other.
I also think, actually, that the nature of art is not competitive. The competitive spirit comes out once again when we enjoy making comparisions between paintings, pieces of music, etc, to decide which one is the best. This seems to be a human obsession. (: But we never see a painting competition in TV, because we think that competition is not the true realm of art. There are music competition, like Euromusic, but they are very rare. so, if art is beyond competition, why do we expect to see art in figure skating? (: thats a logical error, it seems.
We want both sides of the thing, but its wanting too much and we end up obtaining little ((
If your point is that the content of ISU Communications and the ISU rule book in the PCS descriptions is in "plain English", meaning clear descriptions in English, I would say that the language in the PCS descriptions is a load of garbage in English words that mask the political nature of the category, and Performance and Execution have no business being combined. However, that is off topic.
I was one of those that saw emotional connection in Yu Na's performance, and I have said it multiple times in this thread, including in disagreement with Aussie. However, Aussie and I, as members of this forum, have a mutually respectful appreciation for each other's opinions, so disagreements of this nature are not taken personally. In fact, I often learn by listening to others during points of disagreement.

Having freshly rewatched the one skating performance that made me which I saw live (Shen/Zhao Nutcracker FS at GPF posted on another thread), I certainly agree that close-ups of the face are not key. I never saw their faces in close-up. But they created such an energy, two people skating as one unit, with such unparalleled understanding of each musical nuance that I never needed to. I think this is my #1 favorite performance of all time. *sniff*

Actually, I think i figured out what what is the problem might be here.
Yuna is too darn fast in her choreography. It is like she is clearly projecting on all the photographs taken during the performance, but yet somehow this didn't give the youtube audience enough time to intake her projection due to the jam packed choreography. It is like Zooooom... its gone.
Seriously... i mean just look at all these photographic evidence. Are these not emotional projection enough? What does she have to do?
Her biggest problem maybe she need to cut down half of the choreography, skate at 50% speed so she can conform to the standard lady speed, and give the youtube audiences a bit the time to absorb her 'emotional projection' at a pace they are used to and comfortable.
Ideally make a point to pause in front of the camera and judging panel, include a new poseography sequence while she bawls her eyes out. It is time to train wet eyetography Yuna. Excercise your tear duct muscles....give them what they want

I have seen Yuna live at Worlds 2009. Didn't feel a thing. But I did wave a small Korean flag handed to me by her fans.

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
Getting organized is a great way to improve your memory, and it can also help you stay motivated and be more productive. Taking some time to plan your workday or workweek can have a huge impact on your productivity. One study showed that fifteen minutes spent planning could save an hour of execution time! If you have ever been in a disorganized meeting that seemed to drag on forever, you will understand how much more can be accomplished in the same amount of time if there is an agenda.
All you need is a few minutes with a daily planner, PDA, or piece of paper. Write down the tasks that you need to accomplish and the amount of time that each one is expected to take. Now schedule these tasks into your day and stick to the schedule. You may be surprised to find that you will be much more productive if you do this.
This technique works because without a plan, we waste a lot of time between tasks. When you have a plan, you won't have to spend time trying to figure out what to do next. It also helps you work faster because you won't be worrying or multitasking. When you have a plan, you can focus 100% of your energy on the task without stressing about anything else. Disorganized people waste time trying to do two things at once, or worrying about the things that they haven't finished yet.
Once you realize how much work you can get done if you organize it ahead of time, you will become more motivated, productive and worry free.

"It is odd therefore, that the one apposite passage which recurred to me in its entirety was in hexameters and pentameters." --Hornung, E. W.
Once you have gotten someone's name, made it meaningful, and remembered their face, you will have made a huge improvement in your ability to remember that person.
To insure that you will remember that name, you should make sure to review it soon after meeting them. Review their name, the association that you used to link it to their face, and review any interesting facts about that person that you want to remember. If you can, write this information down so you can review it again later. Do an additional review at the end of the day for each new person that you met, and then one final review a week later. This will guarantee that their name and face are firmly in your long-term memory.

A surprise bill proposed by Virginia state senate Republicans that will redraw the state political map was approved 20-19 Monday. It will be further discussed on Tuesday, but if it passes the House and is approved by Gov. Bob McDonnell, it will essentially re-draw the state senate districts, in many cases making them lean more Republican.
Under the Virginia Constitution, the General Assembly draws new Senate and House districts once a decade, and most recently did so in 2011. Republicans said Monday the propsal was an effort to better represent African American voters.
While the proposal would keep virtually all of Sen. Janet Howell (D-32nd)'s Reston districts, it would change many of her precincts in Vienna.
The proposal adds much of Herndon and Great Falls to Howell's district and is expected to make the 32nd District's voter base 2.79 percent more Republican.
The Washington Post reported senate Democrats think the new map would make at least five districts held by Democrats heavily Republican. The map puts two sitting senators, R. Creigh Deeds (D-Bath) and Emmett W. Hanger Jr. (R-Augusta), into a single district, the Post reported.
Introducing yet another plan is unconstitutional, Senate democrats say, adding that voting while Sen. Harry Marsh (D), a 79-year-old civil rights leader, traveled to Washington for President Barack Obama's second inauguration was "underhanded."
The new map, which would take effect in 2015, was tacked onto a bill left over from last year that sought technical adjustments to House district boundaries.
One Democratic analyst, Kenton Ngo, says "of the 6,147,347 voting age people in Virginia in Census 2010, 2,776,292 would be moved into a new district."
"This redistricting is out of time, out of order and outside the constitution which states that redistricting can only be done in 2011. Our community is being political torn apart without any input or consideration," Sen. Chap Petersen (D-Vienna) said in a statement after voting against the bill.
"This measure is taken on a day when the nation is re-inaugurating our President, and celebrating the life of Dr. Martin Luther King," Petersen said. "It is done outside the ordinary calendar and with the intent to maximize Republican power. There is no other purpose."
In the Republican proposal, Petersen's 34th District would lose much of Vienna, Dunn Loring and the area surrounding Oakton High School, moving those precincts to District 35, a seat held by Dick Saslaw (D).
For a map of districts under the proposed Republican plan, see this interactive from the Virginia Public Access Project.

It was only 7 years ago that Moose Factory, Ontario born forward, Jonathan Cheechoo won the Maurice 'Rocket' Richard Trophy as a member of the San Jose Sharks. During that season, Cheechoo netted 56 goals, setting a franchise best at that time for the Sharks, a record that is still untouched to this day. While teamed up with linemates, Joe Thornton and Milan Michalek, Cheechoo followed through the next season with 37 goals and 69 points in 76 games. That same season saw the Ontario native sign a five-year contract extension that was to pay him $15 million for his services. By many accounts, Jonathan Cheechoo was living the high life, then it ended.

As Fairfax County children head back to school this week, drivers are reminded to be especially vigilant.
"The afternoon hours are particularly dangerous for walking children," according to AAA, the a not-for-profit organization providing members with travel, insurance, financial and automotive services and information. "Over the last decade, nearly one-third of child pedestrian fatalities occurred between 3 and 7 p.m," the organization reported.
AAA offers six ways drivers can help keep kids safe during the school year:
- "Slow down. Speed limits in school zones are reduced for a reason. A pedestrian struck by a vehicle traveling at 25 mph is nearly two-thirds less likely to be killed compared to a pedestrian struck by a vehicle traveling just 10 mph faster.
- "Eliminate distractions. Children often cross the road unexpectedly and may emerge suddenly between two parked cars. Research shows that taking your eyes off the road for just two seconds doubles your chances of crashing.
- "Reverse responsibly. Every vehicle has blind spots. Check for children on the sidewalk, driveway and around your vehicle before slowly backing up. Teach your children to never play in, under or around vehicles—even those that are parked.
- "Talk to your teen. Car crashes are the leading cause of death for teens in the United States, and more than one in four fatal crashes involving teen drivers occur during the after-school hours of 3 to 7 p.m. Get evidence-based guidance and tips at TeenDriving.AAA.com.
- "Come to a complete stop. Research shows that more than one third of drivers roll through stop signs in school zones or neighborhoods. Always come to a complete stop, checking carefully for children on sidewalks and in crosswalks before proceeding.
- "Watch for bicycles. Children on bikes are often inexperienced, unsteady and unpredictable. Slow down and allow at least three feet of passing distance between your vehicle and the bicycle. If your child rides a bicycle to school, require that they wear a properly-fitted bicycle helmet on every ride. Find videos, expert advice and safety tips at ShareTheRoad.AAA.com."

Deadline nears for Chukchansi grants

Reporting from San Francisco —
Housed in an old San Francisco warehouse, Four Barrel Coffee — with its vintage record player, 53-year-old coffee roasting machine, tables hewn from recycled wood and wall of mounted boar heads — calls one of the world's most wired cities home.
But don't expect to get an Internet connection there.
Coffee connoisseurs hooked on this roaster's beans won't find a working signal — or even a power outlet. The uninitiated often try to plug into a fake one that owner Jeremy Tooker spray painted on the wall as a gag.

The sale of fireworks has been an annual tradition in Newark for decades, and those brightly decorated sales booths are easy to spot around town.
The Alameda County Fire Department has inspected nine of 10 fireworks booths and signed off for sales to begin Tuesday at noon, according to department spokeswoman Aisha Knowles. The final booth will be inspected today (Wednesday), she said.
Each booth will be open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. through July 4. The use of Safe and Sane Fireworks in Newark are only permitted through July 4, Knowles said.
Booths can be found in the parking lots of Mowry Crossing by , the Lido Faire Shopping Center, Rosemont Square, , , and near at and off Thornton Avenue and Cedar Boulevard.
Newark is one of only three Alameda County cities permitted to sell and use fireworks designated as "safe." Union City and Dublin are the other cities allowed to sell and use fireworks. South of Milpitas, fireworks are sold legally and used in and Watsonville.
The booths selling fireworks in Newark benefit non-profit organizations such as the , the Newark Optimist Club, Latinos Unidos de Newark and other local non-profits.
The city of Newark has sold fireworks for decades and while the city had allowed the use of fireworks at parks in the past, all parks will be closed during this July 4 holiday because shutting them down has been found to be "more effective as far as policing illegal fireworks," said Mayor David Smith.
"We encourage their use by families at their homes," Smith added.
The City of Dublin has designated three parks where the use of "safe and sane" fireworks will be permitted between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. only on July 4. The parks include , and .
Commander Robert Douglas of the Newark Police Department, like Alameda County Fire Department, said the department has a "Zero Tolerance for Illegal Fireworks."
According to a press release from the Alameda County Fire Department, "any firework that flies in the air, darts across the ground or explodes is considered illegal in California. If it doesn't have the California State Fire Marshal seal on the packaging, it's illegal. The Fire Department utilizes fire investigators to aggressively enforce fireworks laws."
"The Newark Police Department will aggressively enforce all fireworks laws," he wrote in an email to Patch.
Douglas added that while Safe and Sane Fireworks are legal to possess and use within city limits, they are only permitted from midnight on June 20 to midnight on July 4.
"Remember the use of legal fireworks should not be used in public parks or on private property. Please respect the property rights of others," he said.
Douglas – as well as city officials – are urging for individuals to take precaution during the holiday weekend.
"Enjoy the celebration of Independence and the use of legal fireworks, but please look after the little ones. Please be responsible and supervise children around fireworks," Douglas said.
City councilman Al Huezo said at the council's June 23 meeting that he hopes Newark residents behave and practice being safe and sane when it comes to using fireworks.
Common Illegal Fireworks:
- Cherry bombs
- Roman candles
- Silver Salutes
- M-80s, M-100s
- Bottle rockets
- Aerial shells/mortars
- Firecrackers
- Helicopters

How to Select
How to select Humidifiers
A room humidifier can help you make the dry air in your house fresh, enjoyable and healthy. Since dry air leads to constant coughing, headaches and oftentimes more severe health problems, you need to ensure you install a humidifier in your home to prevent such problems from happening. The following guide will help you pay attention to the most important factors and choose the perfect choice for your home.
Humidifiers are used in homes that are built in desert areas or in rooms that use forced air heating. Since dry air affects people equally, despite their allergies or other health conditions, you can buy one humidifier and use it in every room of your house.
First thing to consider when choosing a humidifier is its type. There are various devices that differ by the method of humidification, size and design. For example, two most common methods use cool or warm mist to moisturize the air. The technologies that distribute the steam from the device also differ. The moisture can be distributed from a humidifier by an evaporator or an ultrasonic device that are installed inside the humidifiers' body. Both types are safe and have almost the same effect. To choose the type that will suit you the most, pay attention to additional features and options that a humidifier can offer.
Next factor to consider when choosing a room humidifier is the style of the device. Specify a place for your future humidifier and then look for the option with compatible design. With a wide variety of options that exist today, you can find a portable, wall- or ceiling-mounted, console and flow-through bypass humidifier. Portability is a helpful and very convenient feature in case you want to use the device for multiple rooms. In other cases, choose the device that will give the best performance and will be easy to install.
Control option is the next factor to consider. Now that you know where your future humidifier will be installed, you need to select the control options according to the device's location. If it is installed in the ventilation system or is mounted on the ceiling, a remote control is your only choice. While choosing the controls, ensure that they offer various modes of operation in addition to a simple off/on switch.
Handling and maintenance are the last but not least factors to consider. Ensure that you will be able to refill the water tank or remove the filter of a humidifier by yourself. Otherwise you will need to hire a professional and pay him some extra money from your budget.

As the World Watches, North Korean Atrocities Unfold
The world has turned a blind eye to the Kim regime's abuses.
Dr. Lamont Colucci is an associate professor of politics at Ripon College, recent Fulbright scholar to the Diplomatic Academy of Vienna, and author of The National Security Doctrines of the American Presidency: How they Shape our Present and Future, among other books. You can find out more at lamontcolucci.com.
A common mistake of the mainstream media is their penchant for tunnel vision. The bombings in Boston are a clear case where the news media give Americans the impression that the world has stopped on its axis, as focus centers on the terrorist attack in Massachusetts.
This is also the case with stories concerning international affairs. The world media are so wrapped up in the nuclear question concerning North Korea, and worse, the potential for a "deal" with the boy dictator that we forget the horror inside that country.
George Orwell wrote, "If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – forever." The North Korean boot has been stamping on human faces since 1953, almost with impunity from the international community, craven for a deal, some deal, any deal, with the totalitarian leadership. The thinking among the establishment in the west is that any price is worth avoiding war, nuclear war in particular. The devil's bargain runs along the lines that as long as we can maintain an armistice (not peace) with the North Koreans, we can slowly work on human rights from afar.
[See a collection of political cartoons on North Korea.]
This "logic" has allowed a totalitarian nightmare to unfold that strikes at the very heart of western values, human rights, and human dignity.
The most heinous example of these abuses is the North Korean camp system. The North Korean red dynasty established a caste system referred to as songbun. This classification of people based on ideological trustworthiness determines a person's fate from the time they are born.
Those with lower songbun status are more likely to end up in the North Korean gulag system. It is estimated that at least 200,000 people languish in the death and labor camps of North Korea; their names, like Auschwitz, and Cabanatuan, should resonate with everyone, but do not. These camps, with names like Kaechon, Yodok, Pukchang, and Hoeryong, should inspire revulsion, disgust, and condemnation. These are places where torture, infanticide, starvation, and executions are daily occurrences.
In an effort to outdo his Maoist and Leninist forebears, the Kim dynasty created a camp system whereby the so-called offender is not the only one condemned, not even the immediate family, but often the generation above and below. It is therefore common for those labeled with that totalitarian catch-all favorite of the Soviets and the Chinese, "enemies of the state," to be small children and elderly grandparents. The existence of these camps is unacceptable to anyone whose faith in God, and whose belief in human rights and human liberty exist in any way, shape, or form.
[See Photos: North Korea Prepares for Rocket Launch]
A lesser known evil committed by the North Koreans are abductions. The North Korean state, in particular North Korean intelligence, is responsible for 180,000 abductions in at least 14 countries. The focus by North Korea has been South Korea and Japan. These men and women are kidnapped and forced into slavery by the communist regime. In what other context would the international community accept a situation where a nation is allowed to engage in the type of slavery through kidnapping not seen since the Middle Ages?
If there is a poster boy for a rouge regime, a regime of evil, it is North Korea. This "nation" committed to creating a totalitarian hell on earth has, in the 21st century, combined the malevolence of the Dark and Middle Ages to produce the most insidious and noxious conditions for humanity. The very fact that the world allows this to go almost unnoticed, unspoken, and without priority, is an indictment of every democratic state that holds the values of humanity on high altar.
If the UN and the concert of democratic nations have any credibility beyond bluster and protest, it must push the North Korean despotic regime on this issue and not use the military question as an excuse to cover the worst crime by any nation state in the contemporary period. The military hostility will continue to bedevil us, for a long as we allow the evil of the regime to continue.

Jungle Gardens to welcome albino badger
Date: March 29, 2012
