The Stem Cell Debates: Lessons for Science and Politics
February 14, 2012
In December 1994, a committee that advises the director of the National Institutes of Health met on the NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland. The meeting focused on the recent recommendation of the NIH's Human Embryo Research Panel that the federal government should fund a range of research involving human embryos.
The chairman of the panel told the committee about the "extremely high level of public ignorance" about human reproduction, which "invites exploitation by those who, for moral reasons, object to human embryo research."
That ignorance, he warned, could be "manipulated into public hostility" toward embryo research.
The conversation became frankly political, as several committee members voiced concern that the incoming Republican majority in the U.S. Congress would restrict funding for the research, including expected developments with human embryonic stem cells. The committee began to brainstorm ways to shape the policy and influence public reaction so that embryo research could receive government funding with minimum opposition. One committee member proposed a sophisticated strategy of political lobbying: "have us do our homework to determine which people in Congress … have family members with which particular illnesses and make individual visits to them to 'background' them and brief them and discuss their particular family history concerns. Scientists would respond to ethical objections against the destruction of nascent human life by entering the political arena; to make their case, they would rely not only on scientific facts but on emotionally charged appeals.
Fast-forward a dozen years. Embryo research became a hot-button political issue, and strikingly, just as had been anticipated in 1994, public officials and candidates for office regularly spoke about the issue in terms of their family health problems. So it was that, in considering legislation to fund embryonic stem cell research in April 2007, a series of Senators, one after another, described illnesses suffered by relatives, constituents, and themselves — a parade of maladies, from cancer to Parkinson's to diabetes to asthma. One Senator, explaining his vote in favor of using taxpayer dollars to fund embryonic stem cell research, recounted his mother's physical and mental decline due to Alzheimer's disease: "When I look at her empty gaze and shriveled body, I cannot help but wonder, if we had started embryonic stem cell research years ago, would she still be suffering today?" While these Senators understandably focused on the face of the suffering that might be relieved if human embryos were destroyed for the sake of delivering a panoply of hoped-for cures, the imperative to relieve suffering was never in dispute, and they failed entirely to attend to the nature of the human embryo and its moral status — the ethical issue that was the very center of the debate.
These two remarkable snapshots — a government scientific advisory board strategizing about political lobbying, and politicians making passionate personal pleas about science policy — give us a glimpse of the strangeness of the debates about embryonic stem cell research from the 1990s through today. The stem cell debates have shown American politics at its best and its worst, with examples both of principled democratic discourse and plainly dishonest demagoguery. And stem cell research itself has shown us science at its most noble and its most debased, with examples both of brilliant researchers pursuing cures for terrible afflictions, and others committing egregious scientific fraud in the hunt for glory. As a result, the stem cell debates have helped to reveal the knotty and complicated relationship between science and politics.
This report examines the stem cell debates in hopes of better understanding the relationship between science and politics. It lays out for the public record the most important facts and arguments, some of which have been long neglected or distorted, so that we might better understand the purpose and limits of science in a self-governing society, the proper role of scientists in American political life, and how citizens and policymakers should think about both. This report examines when, how, and why the stem cell debates sometimes lapsed into error and exaggeration. It also reflects on the value of public deliberations about the fundamental questions of bioethics.
A comprehensive history of every aspect of the stem cell debates is beyond our present purposes, although the five appendices following the body of this report, each of which can be read as a standalone chapter, offer up-to-date explanations of the science of stem cells, the medical promise of stem cells, the ethical questions raised by stem cell research, the relevant policy and legal history, and other nations' stem cell research policies.
From Discovery to Debates
Stem cells are cells that have the ability to differentiate into one or more of the types of cells of an organism's body, as well as the ability to self-renew, creating more stem cells like themselves. "Adult" stem cells — which are found not only in adults but also in children, babies, and fetuses — are typicallymultipotent, meaning that they are capable of producing multiple (but not all) cell types.[6] Some adult stem cells have been used in medical therapies for decades. For example, bone marrow transplantation has been used to treat patients since the 1950s, years before scientists understood that it was specifically the presence of blood-forming adult stem cells in the marrow that made the treatment work…
Science, Policy, and Politics
Before focusing on the interplay of science and politics in the stem cell debates, it is useful to step back and consider how they relate in general. Broadly speaking, we can distinguish between two ways science and politics relate to one another in the United States. First, government funds, regulates, organizes, directs, endorses, and prohibits different aspects of the scientific enterprise. Second, science provides policymakers with information and advice regarding natural phenomena, technology, and other matters relevant to public policy. These different relationships between science and policy correspond to two distinct senses in which we use the term "science." When we speak of science policy as the way government supports or limits science, we are speaking of science as a project or practice, carried out by members of our society and subject to democratic political authority like any other activity. When we speak of the way government seeks science or scientific advice, we speak of science as a kind of knowledge concerning the natural world, knowledge that is subject to critical analysis and debate but not to political authority or regulation.
Although the policy questions in the stem cell debates chiefly concerned the first sort of relationship between science and politics, namely how the government ought to support or regulate this medically promising but ethically controversial field, the second sort of relationship has also been integral to the stem cell debates: scientific knowledge concerning the nature of the human embryo has been essential in informing policymakers and the public in their moral reasoning on the topic.
Historically, the federal government has provided considerable support for the scientific project. The classic articulation of postwar science policy in the United States is found in Vannevar Bush's 1945 report to President Franklin Roosevelt, Science, The Endless Frontier.[12] In this influential report, Bush (no relation to President Bush) argued that government funding for science, particularly for what he dubbed "basic research," was essential to ensuring that America continue to enjoy the technological progress necessary for the nation's strength and prosperity. Vannevar Bush's model of scientific progress held that basic research leads to applied research which leads to the development of useful technologies and products.[13] Following this model, the U.S. government has since the end of the Second World War provided considerable funding for scientific and medical research, with consistent public approval.
During the latter half of the twentieth century, the U.S. government also came to recognize the importance of regulating scientific research, particularly biomedical and behavioral research conducted on human subjects. The horrific scientific experiments performed by Nazi doctors during the Second World War, along with other cruel and unethical experiments performed in the United States and around the world, clearly demonstrated the need for ethical oversight of scientific research. Governments around the world instituted policies on research ethics and the protection of human subjects, based on the principles articulated in such documents as the Nuremberg Code and the Belmont Report.
Meanwhile, science, understood as our most reliable source of knowledge about the natural world, rightly enjoys a great measure of authority. In our political life, we rely on science to settle questions regarding purely physical phenomena: the toxicity of different chemicals, the efficacy of medical treatments, the sturdiness of bridges, the effects of pollution, and so on. In crafting policy, we weigh these scientific facts against other facts, interests, and values. Scientific knowledge can also inform our moral reasoning. A scientifically accurate description of biological death, for instance, is critical for determining the ethics of organ donation, and for developing sound policies to regulate organ donation…
No Parties, No Banners: The Spanish Experiment with Direct Democracy
February 14, 2012
On October 15 last year, 200,000 people marched in Madrid. They were part of a Spanish movement that has come to be known as 15-M—after May 15, the date of its first action—or the indignados. The movement has broad support from the Spanish public, both right and left, with 73 percent approving in recent polls. Participants and organizers consistently report that "regular people" and "first time" protestors, "not just movement activists," are deeply involved in the assemblies. As Irache, a public school teacher participating in the march, told us, "The crowd that day came from all walks of life in the city."
The six-hour march past the city's financial and tourist center to the iconic Puerta del Solwas animated by the now-familiar indignado chants: "if we can't dream, you won't sleep"; "they don't represent us"; and "these are our weapons," as protesters lifted their hands in the air, a sign of agreement at assemblies.
Along the route there were more strollers than police. But at least for North American eyes, what was most striking was the absence of banners. True to the principles of 15-M, almost no one came with signs representing parties, unions, or any other organized groups. The only exceptions were the green T-shirts of the "Green Tide," an ad hoc movement of teachers and students to defend public education against drastic cutbacks. This group, Irache assured us, was there to support the protest, and not part of 15-M itself.
The lack of banners is essential to the work of the indignados. As a movement, 15-M does something novel, bringing people together as equal citizens, not as representatives of particular interests or bearers of particular identities. Claiming broad allegiance—8 million people say they have participated in at least one 15-M event—the movement has broken the barrier between political activists and ordinary citizens. It shares principles of nonviolence and nonpartisanship with the Occupy movement and other peaceful demonstrations around the world. But its central demand—for a direct, deliberative democracy in which citizens debate issues and seek solutions in the absence of representatives—is unique. 15-M represents a striking challenge to traditional political actors—parties, civic associations, unions—and to democratic politics itself.
15-M has evolved to become a new political subject, distinct from the original Internet-based group—Democracia Real Ya, or Real Democracy Now (DRY)—that organized the mobilization of May 15, when about 20,000 people gathered in Puerta del Sol. Three months earlier, on a Sunday night in February, ten people met in a Madrid bar to began planning the event. They had already been exchanging opinions online about the political and economic situation in Spain. Their meeting ended with both a slogan—"Real Democracy Now: we are not goods in the hands of politicians and bankers"—and plans to hold a demonstration the week before the municipal elections of May 22.
Although DRY targeted unemployment and mortgage reforms, the main message was not about the economic crisis but about the breakdown of political accountability and representation. Some commentators on the left criticized this message as insufficiently radical, but more than 500 organizations and movements supported the May 15 event, even though DRY rejected official collaboration with any political party, union, or other expression of institutionalized political ideology.
The gathering was a success. The widespread disaffection of Spanish citizens took center stage at one of the nation's most visible sites.
That was supposed to be it.
But not all of the participants left the plaza. Initially about 50 decided to stay. By midnight, this group had dwindled to just over twenty. They decided to spend the night in the square. Most of the holdouts did not belong to any social movement; they were not seasoned activists or even members of DRY. They stayed, some of them said, because they were "tired of demonstrations that finish happily and then: nothing."
A physics PhD student acted as moderator for the group discussions, and a 28-year-old journalist spoke on behalf of the group when the police asked them to leave. They managed to stay in the square until the next morning and, in exchange, guaranteed the police that they were not going to riot or disturb the peace. They organized into small committees to look for food and makeshift mattresses. One of the protesters used a smart phone to spread word of the occupation, with the Twitter hashtag #acampadasol.
The next morning, Monday, the police chased them out, but messages on Twitter and Facebook called for another sleepover that night. This time nearly 200 people attended. The police forcefully removed the occupiers before midnight. By Wednesday nearly a thousand people were camped out. A judicial injunction against the encampment only emboldened the growing movement. On Thursday the numbers increased further, and the first tents appeared. Protesters in Barcelona and Seville followed suit, setting up camp in public spaces. By Friday, May 20, more than 10,000 people were camped in the Puerta del Sol. And many more came on Saturday to express solidarity. Twenty thousand people spent the day holding back the police.
The central organizing principle of 15-M is individual participation. The movement is infused with a participatory ethos: everyone is expected to take part in all aspects of the group. Strikingly, the movement rejects the principle of representation. Some participants belong to other groups or organizations, but within the movement, individuals do not speak for collectives; they speak in their own voices, for themselves, relying on their own judgments.
This is highly unusual in Spain, which is filled with progressive networks and organizations focusing on diverse interests: housing, the environment, the working class, anarchism, feminism, and many others. Until now, the work of advancing social justice has consisted in suturing together often-fragile coalitions, assuring the right mix of representation at events, and facing the usual controversies that arise when an array of interest groups try to work together.
15-M challenges traditional political actors and democratic politics itself.
15-M has broken with that coalition-politics logic. Assemblies only accept proposals by consensus, and proposals are developed by ad hoc working groups, not permanent institutions committed to single issues. There is no interest group representation and no bargaining. The decisions that touch all must be accepted by all. And the process is evolving: one very active working group is tasked with improving the decision-making procedure….
Why Are Men So Violent? Are men warriors by nature? History, not evolution, may explain male violence.
February 14, 2012
It will not have gone unnoticed that men are more violent than women. Men perpetrate about 90 percent of the world's homicides and start all of the wars. But why? A recent article in a prominent science journal contends that evolution has shaped men to be warriors. More specifically, the authors claim that men are biologically programmed to form coalitions that aggress against neighbors, and they do so in order to get women, either through force or by procuring resources that would make them more desirable. The male warrior hypothesis is alluring because it makes sense of male violence, but it is based on a dubious interpretation of the science. In my new book, I point out that such evolutionary explanations of behavior are often worse than competing historical explanations. The same is true in this case. There are simpler historical explanations of male violence, and understanding these is important for coping with the problem.
A historical explanation of male violence does not eschew biological factors, but it minimizes them and assumes that men and woman are psychologically similar. Consider the biological fact that men have more upper-body strength than women, and assume that both men and women want to obtain as many desirable resources as they can. In hunter-gatherer societies, this strength differential doesn't allow men to fully dominate women, because they depend on the food that women gather. But things change with the advent of intensive agriculture and herding. Strength gives men an advantage over women once heavy ploughs and large animals become central aspects of food production. With this, men become the sole providers, and women start to depend on men economically. The economic dependency allows men to mistreat women, to philander, and to take over labor markets and political institutions. Once men have absolute power, they are reluctant to give it up. It took two world wars and a post-industrial economy for women to obtain basic opportunities and rights.
This historical story can help to explain why men are more violent than women. The men who hold power will fight to keep it, and men who find themselves without economic resources feel entitled to acquire things by force if they see no other way. With these assumptions, we can dispense with the male warrior hypothesis, which is advanced by Melissa McDonald, Carlos Navarrete, and Mark Van Vugt, in the latest issue of Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society. These three psychologists imply that male violence is natural and inevitable, but all the evidence they offer can be explained by the simpler assumption that farming technologies allowed men co-opt power over the course of human history.
- The authors claim that men are more xenophobic than women, because they are wired to wage war. But this is also predicted on the historical account, because men control governments and handle foreign relations. It follows too that men start all wars.
- The authors contend that, compared to women, men prefer social dominance hierarchies, which testifies to their innately competitive nature. But this is easily explained on the social story: in male dominant societies, men gain from dominance hierarchies, and women lose.
- The authors note that men are more prone to cooperate when under threat than otherwise, which may suggest an instinct to form armies. But a simpler explanation is that, having obtained power, men are reluctant to cooperate except under pressure.
- The authors cite a disturbing study in which men endorse war after being primed with a picture of an attractive woman, which suggests that male violence has a sexual motive. But the link between sexand violence may derive from the fact that sex is often coercive in male dominant societies.
- The authors link the male warrior hypothesis to racism: white men, they say, show greater fear responses to pictures of black men, than do white women. But this is difficult to explain on any evolutionary hypothesis, since there would have been little ethnic diversity in our ancestral past. Racism is more readily linked to the social history of slavery, an industry run by men.
- The authors also remark that women become more racist at times of peak fertility, suggesting fear of impregnation by foreign invaders. A different explanation is that menstrual peaks also bring out strong emotions, which lets latent racism come to the fore.
The male warrior hypothesis makes many predictions that don't pan out. There is no evidence that men prefer foreign women–the Western ideal is Barbie–and women often like effeminate men: David Bowie would not be sexier with an enormous beard. On the male warrior hypothesis, women should fear foreigners as much as men do, because foreign men are hardwired to attack them, but women are actually more sympathetic to foreigners. This may stem from their firsthand knowledge of discrimination. Women are also more cooperative than men, which makes little sense if men are innate coalition builders.
There are dubious presuppositions as well. The warrior hypothesis assumes there was constant warfare in our evolutionary past, but some anthropologists argue that ancestral populations were too sparse for frequent contact. It also presupposes that warfare increases male fertility, when it may actually reduce fertility for all. Fertility is probably maximized when men are non-violent and share in childcare, but in many societies men beat their wives, neglect their children, and practice sex-selective infanticide against girls. The authors perpetuate the myth that evolution prefers men to be polygamous and females to be monogamous, but we see every variation in other species. In chimpanzees, both sexes seek multiple partners.
Social history explains such facts by proposing that men have taken power by their greater strength, leading to violent competition and the abuse of women. This approach correctly predicts cross-cultural variation in gender differences. As women gain economic power, they cease being treated as male property, age differences between romantic partners shrink, and violence against women diminishes. On the flipside, women who gain power, like Margaret Thatcher and Condaleeza Rice, are often hawkish, suggesting that power, not gender, determines belligerence. Women in the judiciary dole out harsher penalties than men. And woman are committing more acts of domestic violence that previously recorded…

You have chosen to sponsor your bid up to a maximum amount of .
Project Description:
I currently have a Joomla website that works very well (www.massagethai.co.nz) and I need to duplicate this site for another business I own which is in the same industry (this operates in a different town and under a different business name). The new site will have a few less pages, will need to have a different colour scheme (main template and buttons etc.), text, contact details etc (all relevant text will be supplied). The current Facebook link can be removed.
I would also like the "Book your session" form changed slightly to include an additional box for customers to add a little more information.
I will be able to provide the flat files to the current site for duplication and changing if required.
Once the site has been completed it will need to be fully operational and any references to the old site removed if it hinders the way google searches or the way that the site performs and ready for any future SEO work that may be carried out at a later date.
This new website will then replace the current site www.koy.co.nz

July 29, 2014
This stay was not a good experience for me. When I arrived, the only option for parking is paid parking. Not a $5 parking spot. $19+tax per day!!! After checking in and settling into my room, the fire alarm went off. I opened the outside doors to see if the building was on fire. Then I opened my door to the hallway (my room opens right out into the lobby at the elevator) :( and about 20 guests were starring at me. I asked if the hotel was alarmed or just my room? You know the answer...just my room. The noise was deafening. Guess the fire alarm went bad and I had to listen to that screech for 20 minutes straight while the maintenance man came and replaced the entire unit. Then, the ice machine on my floor didn't work. So staff told me to go up to next floor..."just take the stairs". However, the ice machine was out of order on that floor, also! Very disappointed in my stay....

Richard Petty returned to the race track Friday at Richmond International Raceway after a prolonged absence following the March 25 death of Lynda Petty, his wife of 55 years.
"I just felt like I need to have a little time on our own, so I've been gone for two or three weeks," Petty said Friday at RIR during the unveiling of a special Children's Miracle Network Hospitals paint scheme on Marcos Ambrose's No. 9 Richard Petty Motorsports Ford.
"But I'm back in the saddle again now. I'm just learning to live all over again."
At this point, Petty expects a full schedule to be therapeutic.
"The busier they keep me, the better off I'll be," he said. "I'm surviving. It's going to be different, I guess. After 55 years, I have to start all over again. I was fortunate that all the kids came home for Easter. We had all the kids and grandkids home, and that really made things work good."

From: S K Zubair, Hyderabad
Subject: Request for Student Visa to Germany
I completed my bachelor's degree at Osmania University, India, in 2008, majoring in Electronics & Communication Engineering. Subsequently, I worked for WIPRO and then SITEL- INDIA as an analyst, where my work mainly involved interacting with our United States customers via webhost correspondence.
I developed an interest in the German language and culture, and I have been studying German at Goethe Institute. By learning German, I will increase my range of communication skills, and I plan to do my Masters in Communication at Technical University of Hamburg. TUHH is one of the most prestigious universities in Germany, and it will give me a rung up to the cutting edge of the future. During my stay in Germany, my father has agreed to support me financially.
Below is a list of the documents that I have attached to my visa application:
1. Visa application form
2. Letter from college
3. University diploma
4. TOEFL score
5. Financial documents
6. Affidavit
7. Copy of passport

Sincerely yours,

Role of Risk Management
This will be a short article about risk manegement role. Will try to point out few important things that risk management department has to do so with other words what is their role in the company management.[ad#ad-4]
Many would say that risk management is connected with investments. That is actually correct, but I would rather say that risk management is connected with business decisions. Everything a company does (ussually it does investments), risk management department should be involved. The main role of risk management is to manage risk of course. They need to calculate the risks that come with this decision and they decide or present the information to top management to decide if this is a good business choice or not.
Every time when we are making a business decision, we have risk on other hand and profits on other. Risk management is all about making a decision whether profits of this "investment" will be bigger than the risks we have to take when making the investment. Of course when the risk is higher, we will want bigger profit. Otherwise we would take smaller risk (if it would give us even bigger profit).
Risk management is a very important part of every decision and we should do risk management in our every day decisions as well. No matter what we do, this will eventually bring us some "good" but there is always some risk that it won't and that it will bring us something else instead. So do the risk management and make smart decisisons.

You a Libertarian? Prove It! Justice Act introduced...
by WashStateBlue, Fri Sep 18, 2009 at 10:44:11 AM EDT
One of the phoniest group of folks out there in my NOT so humble opinion are the fellow travelers at the Tea-Bagger Racism Festivals who, because they are too embarrassed to call themselves Republicans, claim they are Libertarians.
You can spot them because they are basically Ron Paul sycophants, all jacked up about the FED and the Gold Standard, but their eyes glaze over if you ask them about Bush and the Patriot Act, domestic spying, etc...They were all for it, at least when Cheney was doing it. How else are we going to catch all those IslamoFacists that are hiding out in Montana?
See, when I was younger (a long time ago) the contingent that called themselves libertarian had kind of a distrust of authority INCLUDING the police, the FBI, etc.
They had a distrust of ANY governmental agency that wanted to keep tabs on LAW ABIDING CITIZENS...in fact, that was one of their MAIN concerns.
But, I think those folks are all gone, replaced by a bunch of nuts who basically don't like to pay taxes they think are going to Cadillac Driving Welfare Mothers...or are fixated that suddenly Obama ATF agents are going to kick down their doors and take their AK-47s.
What is weird is, this group can now go around carrying loaded assault rifles in proximity to political events for the FIRST black President, and we are HAMMERED by the so called Liberal media if we mention HOW that would have gone down just a few years ago. So, at least to my eyes, their paranoia about the Gov confiscating their arsenal is a bit misplaced.
But, even so, THAT was always my argument to these folks when they gave Bush a pass on domestic spying, gathering databases on US citizens they can correlate to communications, phone tapes, e-mails, blogs.
If you're worried about the Gov coming and getting your guns, WHY were you not worried about Gov spying on you 24/7?
So, if you really ARE against Gov intrusion, as all our so called Tea-Bagging Libertarians are, let's see JUST how many posters and banners we see supporting this bill at the next Glenn Beck Racism Festival... Oh, I mean 9/12 Freedom Rally!

Update: 12:30 p.m.
Police are now saying that 250-300 cartons of cigarettes were stolen from Discount Cigarette in the Southampton Shopping Center some time during the night of November 5 or early in the morning of November 6, 2012. The estimated value of the stolen tobacco products is $13,000-$14,000 dollars.
The Discount Cigarette is closed today but an employee who was taking a smoke break and asked not to be identified said, "We prefer not to release any information right now."
In a release sent out by the Benicia Police Department it was revealed that officers responded to an alarm at Discount Cigarette at 2:21 a.m. Tuesday and that the store appeared secure.
The release also confirmed that the thieves gained entry to Little Thai by forcing the back door and that nothing was stolen from either Little Thai or Supercuts.
The thieves exited the scene through the back door of the Supercuts shop.
Police do not have any suspects in custody but are reviewing surveillance videos.
Tuesday, November 6, 2012
Burglars broke into three businesses in the Southampton Shopping Center late in the evening of November 5, or early in the morning of November 6, 2012.
Police are still investigating the break-in and have not released a statement detailing what if anything was stolen or whether there are suspects being sought.
Workers from two of the three affected businesses indicated that the burglars somehow gained entry to the Little Thai Restaurant, through the back door. The thieves then entered a back storeroom and attempted to punch a hole into the Supercuts store next door.
They managed to make the hole but ran into a set of built-in cabinets that thwarted their efforts. The burglars then moved to the dining room where they were able to knock a hole in the wall and gain entry into the Supercuts.
The thieves then went into the back of the Supercuts and knocked a large hole through to the Discount Cigarette. Police would not allow pictures of the large hole but one Supercuts employeee was overheard saying it was large enough to walk through.
One shelf in the front of the tobacco retailer appeared to be cleaned out.
Police remain tight-lipped about what was taken but said they will release more information as it becomes available.
Weingarten Realty, the company that owns Southampton Shopping Center refused to comment on whether they have contracted for 24 hour security at the center. "That's information we don't disclose," said Marketing Manager Carrie Murray who works out of Weingarten's Houston, TX headquarters.
Patch will update this story as more details become available.

Westlake mayor outlines priorities
Slavin picked to take reins from Klessig
The Westlake Village City Council has elected Robert Slavin to serve as mayor for the next 12 months.
Slavin began his one-year term Wednesday night at the council's annual reorganization meeting, when the five-person panel chose one of its members as mayor.
Slavin, who was mayor pro tem during the past 12 months, will succeed Philippa Klessig.
Klessig will continue to serve as a member of the council.
This will be Slavin's second term as mayor. He is in his second four-year term on the council.
In his address to the council and community, Slavin spoke of economic conditions and city priorities.
"We have a tough economy," Slavin said. "Revenues are down, but the good news is we are in great financial shape. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't be doing any belt tightening, and we're going to."
Slavin said public safety remains an important priority for the city, and corresponding services, such as those provided by the Sheriff's Department, fire and paramedics, will not be cut.
Looking back on the past year, Klessig said the city had a number of accomplishments. She described it as "the year of going more green."
Some of the projects Klessig highlighted were water-efficient irrigation and new medians on Agoura Road. She said the city is a leader in conserving water.
Also during Klessig's tenure, the city launched a mass-notification system to alert people about emergencies, and it started curbside pickup of electronic and hazardous waste. The city also worked in conjunction with a neighboring city, Agoura Hills, on street repair projects.
"We are fiscally sound," Klessig said. "Diversifying our income base and healthy reserves should see us through the ups and downs of our time. We will have to be very vigilant this year — too much is happening beyond our control."
The council elected Mark Rutherford as mayor pro tem, to serve in the mayor's absence.
Rutherford, who is in his third term on the council, said that in the coming year the city will embark on two of the largest projects in its history — a community park project and the widening of the Lindero Canyon Road overpass across Highway 101. The city will watch its finances, he said.
"It is an economic downturn," Rutherford said. "We are looking at revenues down, but we are strong. Our expenses are not exceeding our revenues."

Ultimate Crossovers Feature "Frasier" Reuniting with "Cheers" Stars; "Hill Street Blues" Stars Appear on "Third Watch"; "St. Elsewhere" Docs Scrub in on "Scrubs"; "Quincy's" Jack Klugman Visits "Crossing Jordan," Among Others
BURBANK, Calif. -- Classic meets contemporary as part of NBC's unprecedented 75th anniversary celebration this May as several stars from the network's memorable series -- including "Cheers," "Hill Street Blues," "St. Elsewhere," "Quincy" and "Little House on the Prairie" - guest-star on current series for broadcast in late April and early May.
In one notable reunion, George Wendt, John Ratzenberger and Rhea Perlman from the classic comedy "Cheers" (1982-93) get a a house call from Seattle-based Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer) on "Frasier" (Tuesdays, 9-9:30 p.m. ET) in a melding of two Emmy-winning comedies. This time, Frasier heads to Boston and finds himself reuniting with his old "Cheers" gang and celebrating postman Cliff's (Ratzenberger) retirement party on a special episode on Tuesday, April 30 (9-9:30 p.m. ET).
In addition, three of the original actors - Paul Wilson, Phillip Perlman and Raye Birk -- who sat at the end of the bar and offered pithy one-liners during the "Cheers" run also will join the gang. The episode was written by Heidi Perlman ("Cheers").
Likewise, three stars of NBC's Emmy-winning "Hill Street Blues" -- Veronica Hamel (Public Defender Joyce Davenport), Bruce Weitz (Detective Mick Belker) and Ed Marinaro (Officer Joe Coffey) -- visit "Third Watch" (Mondays, 9-10 p.m. ET) on Monday, May 6 (9-10 p.m. ET). Hamel portrays the mother and Weitz is the uncle of firefighter Taylor (Amy Carlson), who come together after the body of Taylor's firefighter father is finally found in the ruins of the World Trade Center; Marinaro plays a fellow firefighter and friend of her father who offers a eulogy at the services.
Among the other vintage stars who will be showcased are Emmy Award winner William Daniels, Ed Begley, Jr., Stephen Furst and Eric Laneuville from NBC's critically acclaimed serio-comic medical drama "St. Elsewhere" (1982-88) who will appear on the freshman hit comedy "Scrubs" (Tuesdays, 9:30-10 p.m. ET). The four will play bickering doctors who are stricken during a medical convention and are admitted for treatment by the "Scrubs" staff in an episode for broadcast on Tuesday, April 30 (9:30-10 p.m. ET).
Emmy winner Jack Klugman ("The Odd Couple") - who starred as the inquisitive medical examiner on NBC's "Quincy, M.E." (1976-83) - will guest-star on "Crossing Jordan" on Monday, April 29 (10-11 p.m. ET) as a distinguished coroner whom Macy (Miguel Ferrer) discovers has made a crucial case error due to his failing eyesight - a chronic problem that Jordan (Jill Hennessy) can't help but notice.
On "Just Shoot Me" (Thursdays, 9:30-10 p.m. ET), David Hasselhoff ("Baywatch") guest-stars on the "Must See TV" series on Thursday, April 18 (9:30-10 p.m. ET). Finch shoots a semi-autobiographical film for his documentary cinema class and manages to convince Hasselhoff (as himself) to appear in it as his dad. But while coming to the set one day, Hasselhoff scratches Jack's (George Segal) car, leading to a heated exchange between them.
Melissa Gilbert, who starred as Laura Ingalls Wilder on "Little House on the Prairie" (1974-83), makes herself at home on NBC's feel-good "Providence" (Fridays, 8-9 p.m. ET) as the proud owner of a prize sheep dog on Friday, May 3 (8-9 p.m. ET).
Musical director Paul Shaffer ("Late Night with David Letterman") swings
by "Ed" (Wednesdays, 8-9 p.m. ET) to guest-star as a basketball referee who
once officiated a controversial game for Ed's (Tom Cavanagh) former high
school team and is asked to return to "re-do" the game to settle the issue.
The episode will be telecast on Wednesday, May 1 (8-9 p.m. ET).
The generational crossovers continue on "Weakest Link" (Sundays, 8-9 p.m. ET) as the game show hosted by Anne Robinson takes viewers on a time-machine trip from the 1960s-1990s by matching up generations of NBC TV stars from "Star Trek" and "The Monkees" to "St. Elsewhere" and "The Cosby Show." The stars are Begley, Jr., Davy Jones ("The Monkees"), Nichelle Nichols ("Star Trek"), Dennis Weaver ("McCloud"), Dirk Benedict ("The A-Team"), Erin Gray ("Silver Spoons"), Vicki Lawrence ("Mama's Family") and Raven Symone ("The Cosby Show").
Furthermore, stars of the Emmy Award-winning "L.A. Law" - who will re-convene for the "L.A. Law: The Movie" reunion movie on Sunday, May 12 (9-11 p.m. ET) - will play for charity and to determine who among them is the "Weakest Link" immediately preceding the movie (8-9 p.m. ET). The eight regular and recurring cast members from the 1986-94 drama are Jill Eikenberry, Michael Tucker, Corbin Bernsen, Michele Greene, Larry Drake, Sheila Kelley, Conchata Ferrell and Kathleen Wilhoite.
This season NBC celebrates 75 years as America's first national broadcasting network. Since its first live radio transmission on November 15, 1926, the National Broadcasting Network has been breaking new ground in communication technology, as well as entertaining and informing America for three-quarters of a century. In recognition of those notable accomplishments, NBC will celebrate with a wide variety of special programming and memorable guest appearances, culminating in a three-hour live telecast from its Rockefeller Center headquarters Sunday, May 5 (8-11 p.m. ET). The anniversary special, from "Saturday Night Live's" Lorne Michaels, will feature clips of the network's most memorable news, sports and entertainment moments from the past seven decades, as well as surprise guest appearances by NBC's classic and contemporary stars.

For about a year, pollutants from a defunct gold mine have been leaking into the Rito Seco Creek near San Luis, a small farming community in southern Colorado. The creek feeds the San Luis People's Ditch, the oldest irrigation ditch in the state, and many farmers fear their water supply is being destroyed.
The Texas-based Battle Mountain Gold
Co., the owner of the site, "had better get into high gear and do
something that's meaningful," says Maclovio Martinez, president of
the Costilla County Water Conservancy
State officials are also pushing the
company to clean up its act. Shortly after the leaks were
discovered, state officials told Battle Mountain Gold to apply for
a discharge permit. The company ignored the request, and instead
tried to solve the problem by using snow guns to blow water from
the leaking mine into the air.
When Environmental
Protection Agency officials discovered more seeps this summer, the
Colorado Department of Health issued a notice of violation and a
cease and desist order. In late August, the company applied for a
discharge permit.
Company spokesman Les Van Dyke
says the situation has been blown out of proportion. "There is no
risk to humans or animals or plants or anything else. This is a
tempest in a teapot."
Dave Acres of the state
Water Quality Control Division concurs. "It hasn't manifested
itself into serious tangible environmental effects yet," he says.
But, he adds, the company is "definitely impacting the stream."
Several local groups want to speed up the
cleanup, and are considering legal action against the company.
Roger Flynn of the Western Mining Action Project, who has been
advising the groups, sympathizes with the community's need for a
safe water supply. "This is the livelihood of the town," he says.
"They're very afraid down there."

Several Conneaut teachers and a handful of retirees received accolades at Wednesday night's Conneaut Board of Education meeting.
The May meeting has traditionally been reserved for handing out awards and recognition to Conneaut Area City Schools district employees. Five received special honors, including:
• Mirando Award (for elementary-grade educators) — Mike Kenyon (Gateway Elementary School); Linda Dell (Lakeshore Primary School)
• Bev Wadley Award (for classified employees) — Martha Gross, nurse's aide at Gateway Elementary
• Lisa Iarocci Award (for an employee who displayed courage in the face of adversity) — Amy Light, third-grade teacher
• 110 Percent Award (for efforts above and beyond) — Pam Glenn, secretary, Lakeshore Primary
Several employees who have or will retire were also recognized at the meeting, including: Leslie Kallio (38 years with the district), second-grade teacher; Linda Dell (35 years), first-grade teacher; Liz Vento (34 years), health/physical education teacher; Beth Carlisle (31 years), computer technology teacher; Robert Starkey (28 years), science teacher; Laureen Bidwell (19 years), bus driver; Linda Bernay (17 years), administrator; Marv Simpson (15 years), custodian; Linda Walford (15 years), speech/language pathologist; John Roskovics (14 years), administrator
In other business, the board learned bids to make repairs to a section of roof and a smokestack at Conneaut High School and a boiler conversion at Conneaut Middle School could be $100,000 less than expected. The latter project would remove electric boilers at the school in favor or less-costly natural gas devices.
The quotes will be forwarded to Brewer Garrett, a mechanical engineering company that handled an energy-efficiency upgrade for the district, for analysis and review, members were told.

Aug 24, 2012It may lack some of the community niceties, beloved maps (Assault, anyone?), and little features of past games, but Global Offensive delivers on the promise of a faithful, polished, and better looking Counter-Strike for whoever wants it. Even if the community doesn't meet the golden standard of 1.6 and Source, CS:GO will remain a multiplayer classic for those willing to put in the time to learn the maps and weapons.
Aug 23, 2012CS: GO stands as a glowing reminder that quality game design is rewarded in longevity and variety. Valve has not only updated the shooter but has completely outclassed its contemporaries. This is Counter-Strike, whatever the format you choose to play it on, and there isn't a higher recommendation than that.
Aug 29, 2012At the end, what matters is not if CS:GO is innovative or more of the same than CS: Source, what counts is if it's fun. And CS:GO couldn't be better in this regard.
Sep 7, 2012When it comes down to it, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive may follow the same old formula of gameplay seen in previous versions of Counter-Strike, but it's still a well-rounded tactical shooter. It may not try anything drastically different or revolutionize the series by taking it in a new direction, but there's still enough there to appeal to newbies and hardcore fans alike.
Aug 28, 2012Modern shooters do their job well, but Counter-Strike is the series that helped build the scene. At $15, Global Offensive is a great extension to that legacy.
Aug 27, 2012Global Offensive takes no chances and it's hard to tell who it was made for. Source and 1.6 players will feel at home with the tried and true CS mechanics and traditional game modes, but GO gives them few reasons to migrate, other than flashy graphics on a few of the old maps. Conversely, newcomers to the series will find Counter-Strike's steep learning curve rather discouraging.

Jun 25, 2014Great game. It was a little rough around the edges when it came out a few years ago but not it's playing great. Competitive mode is where the fun. If that isn't for you there are other game modes. Also, there is a strong community base. There are thousands of custom maps and dozens of other game modes to play. For 15 dollars I've had way more fun playing CS Go than Battlefield 3 or 4.… Expand
Sep 5, 2012After 14 years of playing, this is "half life" consistent successor and with new age graphic and better physics, this game have plenty of potential for tournaments and other gather festivals, because people which play this game so long, they are tired of failing in every other extension before GO! This we waited so long and i hope for understanding from everyone, because this is 21st century and now everyone have pc and if you like games 15$ are nothing, u spend that on stupid things, this is not one of them! Gl & hf!… Expand
Jul 15, 2014Tactical round-based FPS shooter. As a true fan and player of Counter-Strike 1.6 (3,534 hrs on steam record+LAN) I was a bit skeptical about my decision to move on GO, but I think I'm getting into it.… Expand
Aug 9, 2013It is an improved Counter-Strike over Source, but there are a large number of problems. Getting kicked out of competitive or leaving in the middle of the round can result in a time-out, accuracy problems, hardware problems and more. However it is still Counter-Strike from deep within, and I like playing it. It just needs to be a little bit reworked.… Expand
Jul 3, 2014I've played cs since 2002 and I must say this is the worst cs I've ever played. Things such as hit detection and anti-cheat valve should have industry standard for but they don't. They have taken out as many if not more features than they have added. They put in things into the game such as weapons skins to pray on the human impulse to buy "shiny rare" garbage. Competitive Match making could have been in cs years ago and its riddled with cheaters, Literally people are paranoid in every match of cheating that they had to create a community watch program to search for cheaters. Pub match making will throw you into a game with 1 person a 30 bots on a random map that no one plays. I could go on about level design, ETC but ill just say this, Putting a little studio like Hidden Path Entertainment to create one of your flagship franchises really shows incompetence.… Expand

A 21-year-old Plano man who had been missing since 7 p.m. on Friday has been reported found safe, said Plano Police Chief Steven Eaves.
"He was found safe in Carbondale," said Eaves on Sunday evening.
He said friends had helped transport him there. Although there was no definitive answer of why Cann had left, Eaves said, "[Corey] apparently wanted to get away for a while."
"It's a really scary situation," said Eaves. "We're all very grateful he was found safe. That's the most important thing."
Cann had last been seen at his home in the 500 block of Hale Street, Plano, around 7 p.m. Friday by his brother Ed Cann.
Cann said that apparent friends from his brother's old college, Southern Illinois University, had come by to visit, according to the Aurora Beacon. Their family dog was acting up around the two friends and Ed Cann took the dog out of the room.
When he came back his brother and two friends were gone. One friend came back into the room to grab a coat and told Ed Cann that they were taking "Corey out for a spin in the truck," according to the Beacon.
The family and friends posted the Find Corey Cann Facebook page to help find Cann, who has cerebal palsy and is confined to a motorized wheelchair.
An earlier post on the page believed Cann to be kidnapped, as family friend Beth Kolar said they received a report that Cann had been spotted in his wheelchair in the bed of a light-tan pick-up truck.
The Plano Police Department worked with the Illinois State police to find Cann.

The George Crile Sr. Award is named for the first president of the Cleveland Clinic Foundation. Established in 2003, it is given annually to a Pyramid Legacy Society member for extraordinary service, commitment and contributions to the mission and people of Cleveland Clinic.
Margaret Whittemore chose to include Cleveland Clinic in her estate plans both in memory of her beloved husband, Bill, and in appreciation for the care he received at Cleveland Clinic.
When the couple had trouble obtaining a timely consultation with a surgeon in their hometown, they traveled to Cleveland Clinic, where Bill underwent heart bypass surgery. His treatment allowed them to enjoy additional, high-quality time together.
Through her bequest to advance heart research at Cleveland Clinic, Mrs. Whittemore can make a gift in the future without altering her current standard of living. "My little bit seems like nothing, but little bits mount up to big ones," she says.
After retirement, Tom and Margaret Kay moved from Ohio to Florida, making frequent trips to their native England. On one such trip in the early 1990s, Margaret was hospitalized for heart problems and complications of diabetes.
Knowing Cleveland Clinic's reputation for heart care, the couple transferred Margaret stateside, where she was admitted to Cleveland Clinic and recovered from her health crisis. They soon became staunch supporters.
Though Margaret passed away in 2002, Mr. Kay has remained steadfast in his commitment to Cleveland Clinic and its Department of Endocrinology. "There will always be something in my heart for Cleveland Clinic," he said.
"Cleveland Clinic and I grew up together," says Chuck Clark, who was raised just a few blocks from the hospital's original site. "I rode past it every day on my paper route."
Since retiring in 2003 from a successful career managing rental property, Mr. Clark has spent most of his time traveling, visiting every U.S. state, Canadian province and most of Europe.
Mr. Clark established charitable gift annuities by donating real estate to Cleveland Clinic, which allows him to enjoy income from the properties without the responsibility of managing them.
"I would encourage others to give this way," says Mr. Clark. "A charitable gift annuity not only to helped Cleveland Clinic, but also myself — both economically and spiritually. I wish I had done it sooner."
For more than 45 years, Marjorie and Howard Fosler have faithfully supported Cleveland Clinic. Their annual gifts help fund areas of greatest need and they established a charitable gift annuity to benefit cardiology programs.
After spending 30 years at the Wyatt Company, an actuarial firm, in a job that involved taking care of employees and their health benefits, Mr. Fosler and his wife chose to continue helping others by supporting work at Cleveland Clinic.
"We looked to Cleveland Clinic to both keep us healthy and help others stay healthy with our gifts," Mrs. Fosler says.
The couple have also supported diabetes research and arthritis pain management.
"Over the years, we have formed a long relationship with the staff at Cleveland Clinic," said Mr. Fosler. "I've received powerful solutions for hearing problems and am regularly checked by cardiologists. We want to support these doctors."
In 2003, Rose Mary Kubik established a fellowship to further stroke research in honor of two of her sisters who suffered strokes. But she didn't stop there. The ardent Cleveland Clinic supporter went on to establish gift annuities for nine of her nieces and nephews.
"I was inspired to donate because I've seen first-hand how devastating strokes can be to the patient as well as the patient's family," she said. "I wanted to contribute something so that other families will not suffer the same," she said.
Her gift annuities benefit stoke research, while guaranteeing annual payments for life for these family members once they near retirement.
Ohio native Josephine Haywood spent many years volunteering at Cleveland Clinic's Children's Hospital. Whether crocheting hats for young chemotherapy patients or playing pattycake through glass isolation room doors, she was determined to bring joy to those little lives.
Though she and her late husband, Harry, traveled the globe, they wanted their legacy to remain close to home.
"I needed to know my estate would go someplace where my heart is," she said.
Mrs. Haywood's generous gifts and annuities have benefited Cleveland Clinic's Department of Colorectal Surgery and Children's Hospital.
Jack Belcher is associated with some of Cleveland Clinic's most compassionate initiatives, including the Palliative Medicine Program, where he actively served on the advisory board and to which he made a generous bequest.
An advocate for The Helping Hands Program, which provides assistance to children with complex medical conditions and their families, he also helped inaugurate "Camp Connect," a summer program for bereaved children.
Mr. Belcher's philanthropic work builds on his passion as an educator and humanitarian. A clinical psychologist, he spent 30 years as an administrator in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District.
Bruce and Virginia Chaney's family association with Cleveland Clinic dates back to 1929, when Mrs. Chaney's mother was treated by George W. Crile Sr., MD, one of the four founders of Cleveland Clinic.
Continuing the long affiliation, the couple established the first endowed chair in the Cole Eye Institute, the E. Bruce and Virginia R. Chaney Chair for Ophthalmology Research and Education. They were also ardent supporters of Cleveland Clinic Florida.
Mr. Chaney served on the boards of the Cleveland Society of the Blind and the Kolff Foundation, which sponsors of home dialysis treatment. In the 1970s, he was instrumental in Cleveland Clinic's acquisition of the former Physicians and Surgeons Building at 10300 Carnegie Avenue.
Melvin and Rose Ella Burkhardt were charter members of the Pyramid Legacy Society. When Rose Ella was battling a brain tumor, the Burkhardt's chose to establish a chair in her name to benefit brain tumor research.
In 2003, Mr. Burkhardt made an estate commitment to establish a second chair — the Melvin H. Burkhardt Endowed Chair for Neuro-Oncology Clinical Research — in memory of Rose Ella and in honor of Gene Barnett, MD, PhD, Director of Cleveland Clinic's Brain Tumor and Neuro-Oncology Center.
His philanthropic interests also included the Cole Eye Institute and Cleveland Clinic Florida, where he endowed yet a third chair.
"It gives me a good feeling to know that Cleveland Clinic patients — for years and years to come — will benefit from these endowments," said Mr. Burkhardt. "A chair is an investment in the future."
