Cavaliers center Anderson Varejao was held out of the Sacramento game on Tuesday.
He had a MRI on his back on Monday, but thatÆs not his only malady.
ōHe has a sore body,ö Cavs coach Mike Brown said.
The 6-foot-11, 267-pound Varejao is the teamÆs leading rebounder at 10.3 per game and is its best post defender.
ōItÆs a pretty big blow,ö Brown said. ōHis forte is defending the paint. I hope itÆs not a long-term thing.ö
Swingman C.J. Miles (sore right foot) was also sidelined.
Varejao played 43 minutes in the Memphis game on Sunday, banging in the paint with Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol.
Brown said he considered taking out Varejao, but the centerÆs competitive spirit wouldnÆt let him.
Varejao isnÆt traveling to Detroit, giving him a week off before the Cavs play again (Feb. 18 at Philadelphia).
Tyler Zeller started at center for the Cavs. Henry Sims was also pressed into action in a backup role.
Miles is listed as day-to-day and will travel to Detroit.
Old friends
Kings coach Michael Malone was an assistant on BrownÆs staff in Cleveland for five seasons from 2005 to 2010. Besides LeBron James, what does Malone remember most about being with the Cavs?
ōBeing with LeBron James,ö he said with a laugh.
The last time the two teams faced off on Jan. 12 in Sacramento, the Kings won by 44 points.
ōYou always want to win,ö Malone said. ōIf we had won by a half a point, that would have been OK. I have too much respect for Mike Brown. IÆd never want to do anything to embarrass him.ö
Kings assistant Chris Jent was the CavsÆ director of player development from 2006 to 2009 before becoming an assistant coach from 2009 to 2011. Jent joined Thad MattaÆs staff at Ohio State for two seasons (2011-13) before joining the Kings.
Brown said he doesnÆt feel like he has any kind of advantage over Malone.
ōItÆs nothing strategic,ö he said. ōHe works his tail off. I donÆt feel I have an advantage because we worked together.ö
Frenetic pace?
The Cavs are slowly transforming into a fast-break team.
Once point guard Kyrie Irving gets his hands on the ball, he has been instructed to push the pace. Their goal is to attack the defense in ōearly offenseö Ś before itÆs able to set up.
Their halfcourt offense remains a work in progress, and is not nearly as effective as when they run the floor.
ōWe encourage our guys to play fast,ö Brown said. ōI want to play fast because thatÆs what we have in terms of Kyrie, our best player. HeÆs a fast point guard.
ōI want us going every single time. Everybody says they want to run, but itÆs really hard to run consistently at a high level in this league.ö
Quick shots
-- Irving has scored a league-high 44 points in overtime this season.Ā He has averaged 8 points per game in OT this season, second-most in the NBA.
-- Kings point guard Isaiah Thomas is coming into his own.
ōHeÆs scored his whole life,ö Malone said. ōThe question is whether he can make everyone around him a better player?ö
-- Kings Assistant GM Mike Bratz played for the Cavs during the 1980-81 season and joined Cleveland in 2000 as a collegiate and minor-league scout, before becoming an assistant coach and director of basketball operations.

Thai in Pittsburgh
Though neither are strictly Thai I would have to say Spice Islands Tea House in Oakland and Bangkok Balcony in Shadyside . My favorites – ginger salad (shredded cabbage, lettuce, peanuts, soybeans, fried garlic and ginger, tamarind in a vinegar fish sauce) I could eat it every day. I also like their bean sprouts with basil. Some of others are the Lat Toke and Night Market Noodle.
Bangkok Balcony has quite a large menu some more Thai then the rest. I've not tried a noodle dish there that I didn't like - the Thai spaghetti with green curry is my favorite, however the noodle dishes are not the best choice for take out as they tend to become stuck together.
I'll bump this up just because I eat at Thai Place http://www.thaiplacepgh.com/ all the time and do think it stands up well to most comparison, even if I can't personally compare it to that many others in town. We're regulars at the Wexford location (they recognize us now ;-) although from what I hear they pride themselves on the food being consistent at all 4. The far north suburbs still pretty much sucks for choices like this, so having Thai Place nearby is a huge bonus. (We actually live near Cranberry but in Beaver County, heh.)
Pad thai is very good, or the one I remember when I ate in Shadyside several years ago and tried again recently and was still great is the tiger prawns.
Went searching and found people somewhat down on Shadyside and/or Oakland Thai Place locations so I don't know. Maybe my standards are low because of the lack of places out here, or just low in general. ;-) Or maybe they're concentrating out here because it's the newest, has pricey rent in a newer strip mall and they have to make that work. Beats me. I think it's good. YMMV.

Let's face it. Saying no to yourself isn't really popular, or a lot of fun.
It's not fun to tell yourself "no" when you want to buy a new pair of shoes, a new laptop, or a new outfit. But, if you are working on reducing how much money you spend, you have to learn how to tell yourself "no" and mean it.
Likewise, if you are trying to lose weight, there are times when you have to tell yourself a big "no."
Not surprisingly, telling myself "no" was a major failing of mine as I tried to lose weight during my obese years. I didn't want to say "no" to fast food meals, chocolate milkshakes or chocolate chip cookies. Instead, I wanted to have all those things and still lose weight.
As I rejoined Weight Watchers, or tried a new diet book, I found it very difficult to resist the foods I loved. Believe me – I tried the "moderation" approach, but in the beginning stages of my diets, I wasn't so great at moderating anything. That came with time and practice.
The lure of sugar-filled doughnuts, or the yellow package of M&M's seemed to call my name more strongly than the salad or brown rice did. And I heeded the unhealthy call, and hence passed up the opportunity to make the right choice.
Telling myself "no" was part of the process of self-regulating myself in order to succeed at losing weight. Other facets of the weight loss process involved developing strategies to combat bad habits, committing to an exercise routine, controlling emotional eating and retraining my cooking skills.
When I started to lose weight that last time, I found it easy to say "no" to myself for the first few weeks of my dieting experience. But even though I saw pretty heft weight loss totals those first few weeks, after about three weeks, I began to feel sorry for myself. I still had the desire to eat a lot of junky foods, and telling myself "no" when it came to cakes, cookies, etc. was tiresome.
Instead of succumbing like I always had in the past, I gave myself a lot of pep talks about how miserable I was as a 300 pound woman, how tired I was of being constantly tired, and how much better I'd feel (and look) if I weighed less. In addition to pep talks, I also refused to buy those foods, walked away from dessert tables at social functions and chewed a lot of gum.
Over time, I didn't mind saying no to most of those unnecessary foods, but instead relished in the fact that I could now say yes to smaller clothes, more energy and compliments from my husband.
As my weight loss progressed, I learned to say "yes" to the occasional treat that rated a "10″ in my book, but still said a lot of "nos" along the way.
How are you at saying no to yourself? Or do you believe that you shouldn't have to say "no?" Diane

2 in Vermont accused of collecting dead man's SS checksApril 23,2013The Associated Press
BURLINGTON — Two Vermont men have been charged in separate cases with illegally collecting thousands of dollars in Social Security benefits by covering up deaths.
Michael Rivard, 69, plans to plead guilty to fraud, according to the Burlington Free Press. He's accused of taking about $112,500 from 2005 to 2012.
Fifty-four-year-old Robert Driver pleaded guilty March 27 to stealing more than $151,000 from 1999 to 2012.
Driver had power of attorney for the bank account for Margaret Flint, who died in 1998. Benefits continued to be wired into her account.
Driver lives with Flint's grandson, Dalton Flint II. Records showed regular withdrawals from her account in the form of checks made out to and endorsed by Driver for about the same amount as the deposits.

According to experts on intelligence policy, asking a psy-ops team to direct its expertise against visiting dignitaries would be like the president asking the CIA to put together background dossiers on congressional opponents. Holmes was even expected to sit in on Caldwell's meetings with the senators and take notes, without divulging his background. "Putting your propaganda people in a room with senators doesn't look good," says John Pike, a leading military analyst. "It doesn't pass the smell test. Any decent propaganda operator would tell you that."
At a minimum, the use of the IO team against U.S. senators was a misuse of vital resources designed to combat the enemy; it cost American taxpayers roughly $6 million to deploy Holmes and his team in Afghanistan for a year. But Caldwell seemed more eager to advance his own career than to defeat the Taliban. "We called it Operation Fourth Star," says Holmes. "Caldwell seemed far more focused on the Americans and the funding stream than he was on the Afghans. We were there to teach and train the Afghans. But for the first four months it was all about the U.S. Later he even started talking about targeting the NATO populations." At one point, according to Holmes, Caldwell wanted to break up the IO team and give each general on his staff their own personal spokesperson with psy-ops training.
The Insurgent's Tale: A Soldier Reconsiders Jihad
It wasn't the first time that Caldwell had tried to tear down the wall that has historically separated public affairs and psy-ops – the distinction the military is supposed to maintain between "informing" and "influencing." After a stint as the top U.S. spokesperson in Iraq, the general pushed aggressively to expand the military's use of information operations. During his time as a commander at Ft. Leavenworth, Caldwell argued for exploiting new technologies like blogging and Wikipedia – a move that would widen the military's ability to influence the public, both foreign and domestic. According to sources close to the general, he also tried to rewrite the official doctrine on information operations, though that effort ultimately failed. (In recent months, the Pentagon has quietly dropped the nefarious-sounding moniker "psy-ops" in favor of the more neutral "MISO" – short for Military Information Support Operations.)
Under duress, Holmes and his team provided Caldwell with background assessments on the visiting senators, and helped prep the general for his high-profile encounters. But according to members of his unit, Holmes did his best to resist the orders. Holmes believed that using his team to target American civilians violated the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948, which was passed by Congress to prevent the State Department from using Soviet-style propaganda techniques on U.S. citizens. But when Holmes brought his concerns to Col. Gregory Breazile, the spokesperson for the Afghan training mission run by Caldwell, the discussion ended in a screaming match. "It's not illegal if I say it isn't!" Holmes recalls Breazile shouting.
In March 2010, Breazile issued a written order that "directly tasked" Holmes to conduct an IO campaign against "all DV visits" – short for "distinguished visitor." The team was also instructed to "prepare the context and develop the prep package for each visit." In case the order wasn't clear enough, Breazile added that the new instructions were to "take priority over all other duties." Instead of fighting the Taliban, Holmes and his team were now responsible for using their training to win the hearts and minds of John McCain and Al Franken.
On March 23rd, Holmes emailed the JAG lawyer who handled information operations, saying that the order made him "nervous." The lawyer, Capt. John Scott, agreed with Holmes. "The short answer is that IO doesn't do that," Scott replied in an email. "[Public affairs] works on the hearts and minds of our own citizens and IO works on the hearts and minds of the citizens of other nations. While the twain do occasionally intersect, such intersections, like violent contact during a soccer game, should be unintentional."
In another email, Scott advised Holmes to seek his own defense counsel. "Using IO to influence our own folks is a bad idea," the lawyer wrote, "and contrary to IO policy."
In a statement to Rolling Stone, a spokesman for Caldwell "categorically denies the assertion that the command used an Information Operations Cell to influence Distinguished Visitors." But after Scott offered his legal opinion, the order was rewritten to stipulate that the IO unit should only use publicly available records to create profiles of U.S. visitors. Based on the narrower definition of the order, Holmes and his team believed the incident was behind them.

Searching for Port Douglas accommodation and not sure where to stay? Read what our happy guests said after staying at Central Plaza Port Douglas.
Really Hard to Leave!
"Plaza Port Douglas…..Its very difficult not to fall in love with a resort that becomes a home away from home, spacious apartments that are well appointed. We enjoyed the spa, the amazing swimming pool and the immaculately kept tropical gardens and bbq area. Iain and Fiona are wonderful hosts and nothing is too much trouble for these two. We loved apartment 17, we loved the spaciousness, the fully equipped kitchen , 2 bathrooms, especially the one with the spa bath….Spoilt. Cannot wait to go back to Cental Plaza, we really miss it."
"This is a fantastic place to stay when in Port Douglas for a wedding. We loved the convenient position, an easy 10 minute walk to central Port Douglas. We found the apartment especially the kitchen to be well equipped with dishwasher, good working space and a huge fridge. We really enjoyed the spa bath in the master bedroom ensuite"
Very Helpful
"Central Plaza…we loved the convenient position of to downtown Port Douglas, within easy walking distance to both the beach and town. The pool area is just lovely and warm and has an outside spa and fantastic bbq area. The managers are just incredible and when my husband lost his wedding ring in the pool they searched the pool, found the ring and sent it by courier to our next destination….fantastic."
Highly Recommend
"Port Douglas Accommodation, there is a lot of choice but we booked Central Plaza and were glad we did. We loved our 2 bedroom apartment, it was spacious with large lounge, kitchen and dining areas as well as a balcony. The resort is conveniently located with only a short 3 minute walk to beautiful 4 Mile Beach and Macrosson St, the main shopping area of Port Douglas. We loved the pool are bbq areas…they were great"
Great Value – Great Property
"We have just returned from 4 days in Port Douglas staying at Central Plaza….we were not disappointed. Central Plaza was easy to find and conveniently located being close to both 4 Mile Beach and the main shopping strip of Port Douglas. The landscaped grounds we beautiful with a great pool and reception area. The apartments are spacious with fully equipped kitchen. We found Iain and Fiona to be fantastic hosts and very helpful in booking tours and providing local knowledge. We just loved Port Douglas and would definately return to Central Plaza again"
We'll Be Back…and we Have!!
"Central Plaza…..fantastic the second time around, we have just returned from our second visit to Central Plaza and thorougly enjoyed it. We love the central position, just a short walk to the beach and the local shops. The pool area is fantastic and there is nothing better than just relaxing by the pool with a good book….it felt like my own private space as I was often the only one there. The communal bbq area is a great idea and we utilised it almost nightly. We highly recommend Central Plaza, thanks Iain and Fiona for another great stay and we will be back again."
Friendly Hosts, Beautiful Pool, Great Apartment, Great Location
"Iain and Fiona, thank you, you go above and beyond to help out any way you can. You really helped us when due to cyclones our dive expedition was cancelled by trying to get us onto another trip and then suggesting alternative activities. We loved Port Douglas and wished we could have stayed longer. Central Plaza is conveniently located, 5 minutes to the 'main drag' and 10 minutes to the marina.
We found our apartment at Central Plaza to be well appointed, spacious with a nice patio and outdoor setting. The pool was nice with plenty of shade and deck chairs to laze on. The communal bbq was a great idea…will be using that next time we visit. I absolutely recommend Plaza Port Douglas, say hi to Iain and Fiona for me."
Excellent All Rounder
"We were extremely happy with our Port Douglas accommodation and found Central Plaza just that, close to everything, only 5 minute walk to Macrossan St and not much more to the beachfront. Our apartment was well equipped and we appreciated the supplies that were provided (laundry powder, soap, toilet rolls etc) and loved the leafy outlook from our balcony. We would certainly recommend Central Plaza and found that during the tourist season we appreciated our quiet holiday away from busy Macrossan St."
Contact Iain and Fiona today to organise your next holiday at Central Plaza Port Douglas.

Journal Sentinel TV and film critic Duane Dudek looks at life on the small and big screen, and some of the cool stuff on both.
Killing me softly with Paczkis
If I am fat, it must be Tuesday.
I've had my prune filled Paczki - the one I had was split like a cream puff, defying tradition - and am pondering whether the gumbo I plan to make for dinner has okra or not.
While I decide, here are a few non Mardi Gras related items that caught my eye. If they sound familiar its because I've also posted them at The Dudek Abides Facebook page.
If you checked there regularly you would already know:
- Wired magazine pronounces Darth Vader's military strategy in the Battle of Hoth "incoherent" and a "fiasco" for the Empire.
- One of the stars of "Storage Wars" committed suicide.
- The Washington Post was duped by a report that Sarah Palin was going to become a commentator on Al Jazeera.
- A Montana TV station's early alert system warned viewers about zombies, after being hacked.
- The Syfy Channel plans a four hour adaptation of Philip K. Dick's spacey alt-history "The Man in the High Castle" written by "X-Files" writer Frank Spotniz and produced by Ridley Scott who produced "Blade Runner" based on a story by Dick.
- Upcoming theatrical dates for "The Jeffrey Dahmer Files" by Milwaukee filmmaker Chris James Thompson include a screening at the Wisconsin Film Festival in Madison April 12.
- And the Glenn Miller Orchestra musician who played Theremin on the Beach Boys' "Good Vibrations" died at the age of 92.

The fire of thine eyes
July 8, 2014 11 Comments [edit]
They grow up so fast. You hear this a lot.
But it's rare when you can actually see it — when you can bear witness to a sudden, awful transformation that creases the eyes, dulls them a little, weighs down the shoulders, and saps some relic of childhood joy that you've probably long forgotten about yourself until this very moment.
You can try it any time, of course.
Just call the child onto your lap and say, "You know, it's just me and mom. Santa isn't real."
Then wait a few seconds. You'll see a small light of recognition turn on behind her eyes and then, wait for it, because here it comes: The light dies. The eyes are a little darker now. They always will be now. There's something missing from them — a joy, a fathoming, an ability not to suspend disbelief but the childhood gift of never knowing the need.
I didn't blow the Santa story. I hope there's one year left.
Instead, we were sitting in her room, Emme's too long limbs stretched across my lap. We were reading a Calvin and Hobbes anthology she picked up from the library.
"Ooh, ooh, watch this, watch this," she laughed, pointing to a panel.
"Calvin's going to come home and Hobbes is going to just attack him, watch!"
We giggled and laughed. There were times I couldn't even breathe enough to read and times I wondered how on earth I was going to quickly explain existentialism.
Then it happened. I assumed she knew.
"Did you ever notice how Hobbes is a tiger with Calvin but a stuffed animal when anyone else is around?"
I can think of a dozen or so books and poems wherein a tiger plays a symbol — wisdom, perhaps, or age. Something wild in the soul, maybe. Danger. Death.
Or growing up.
"Yeah," she said, "I have."
I nodded.
"Why do you think that is?"
And there it was. The recognition. And then the darkening. A sweep of sadness across her face.
"Dad," she said after a moment, "Dad, I really wish you hadn't told me. I … just …"
I wonder if there's an finite amount of light to growing up. You experience new things and new lights go on, new connections are made. But to make room for this process, other lights, perhaps the most joyful and important ones, go out.
Sometimes you can see it happening, and it will haunt you as a parent to know how many you are already responsible for and how many you have yet to extinguish.

Yesterday, sixth-district congresswoman Michele Bachmann became the first Republican presidential candidate to come out against the plan proposed by U.S. House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) to increase the national debt limit.
Bachmann has consistently opposed any plan to raise the debt ceiling, and the Des Moines Register reports that her stance reflects an ideological division within the Republican party that is "vexing Boehner's attempts to garner enough votes" to break the stalemate.
Bachmann announced her opposition to the plan during a campaign stop in Iowa yesterday, where she said President Obama and other political leaders are with ordinary Americans. ABC News has more details and a video of her press conference.
The Star Tribune reported on it last week, but new details are out today on the number of congressional votes Bachmann has missed since launching her presidential bid. The Hill reports that Bachmann has missed 37 percent of votes in the U.S. House since making her formal announcement June 27 in Waterloo, Iowa.
How significant are a few missed votes? It depends. The Star Tribune says it's par for the course for many presidential contenders. Fellow U.S. House members and presidential hopefuls Ron Paul and Thaddeus McCotter have missed far fewer votes; however, both are considered "longshot bids" for the GOP nomination.
The Washington Post reports that Bachmann may have personally benefitted from a government-subsidized home loan program that the she has criticized as a member of Congress. In 2008, Bachmann and her husband helped finance their $760,000 home with a $417,000 loan backed by either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. In response, Bachmann's campaign said only that her personal financial disclosures "will speak for themselves."
About those migraines: a writer for U.S. News and World Report opines that media speculation about the severity and significance of Bachmann's occasional migraine headaches is fueled by sexism.
Finally, PolitiFact checks out a criticism Bachmann made of fellow presidential candidate and former Gov. Tim Pawlenty and finds it "mostly true."

But that's where the conversation on Facebook begins, not ends, as people are raising a stink about what one person called, "the oddest smell."
According to a TBO.com report, the "stinky aroma" that "settled on streets in and around downtown Tampa" could be traced to "a pesticide spray that was sprayed on strawberry fields in eastern Hillsborough County."
Ted Campbell, director of the Florida Strawberry Growers Association in Plant City, is quoted in the Tribune report as saying: "It's fumigation season. We're using Paladin now. It's actually very effective, but it really stinks." Reportedly, Paladin "is safer for the aquifer and dissipates more quickly as the season wears on."
- For more, read Odor In Downtown Tampa Blamed On Pesticide, by Tribune staff reporter Keith Morelli, posted at TBO.com, Sept. 5.
The Sept. 5 release sent by the Tampa Police Department reads as follows:
- "Tampa Fire Rescue and the Hillsborough County Health Department have determined the unusual odor in the air this morning in Tampa is NOT a health risk. A pesticide that was sprayed in Eastern Hillsborough County is causing the odor. The pesticide is called Paladin and contains Dimethyl Disulfide. Other than the unpleasant odor, there are no known health hazards."
- Hillsborough County Fire Rescue is one of the many agencies involved in the on-going investigation of strong sulfur type odors from the east part of the County. We have received updated reports from the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and Environmental Protection Commission of Hillsborough County. Please see the FAQ on Dimethyl Disulfide that the FDACS provided. We will continue to coordinate closely with FDACS and the other agencies involved."
- "Environmental investigators have confirmed that the odorous smell was from a release of the chemical Paladin. This chemical pesticide was used in eastern Hillsborough County by strawberry growers. Product application is expected to be ongoing for another week. Detectable fumes and odors have diminished significantly, and residents in the City of Tampa have not been directlyexposed or in any immediate danger."
Assurances aside, that "there are no known health hazards," is not comforting news to many, according to Facebook chatter today. " "No known' is they key phrase," wrote one poster, about his concerns. "What type of pesticide and exactly where?" wrote another. "It smelled funny in the Riverview/Apollo area."
In her Facebook post, Kerri McDougald said to "thank your local strawberry growers, who use pesticides away above the norm." She claimed to have called the strawberry growers association, and that she was told the pesticide was approved by the FDA. But nevertheless, McDougald wrote: "Dimethyl sulfide is highly flammable and [an] irritant to eyes and skin. It is harmful if swallowed and has an unpleasant odor at even extremely low concentrations. Its ignition temperature is 205 °C. Why would we want [to] eat something that is harmful if swallowed on our strawberries?"
Another poster, named Matthew, quoted from the Environmental Protection Agency, to which he also gave the link from which he drew his information. He wrote:
- "The odor of DMDS has been described in the literature as pungent garlic, propane, decaying fish, or decomposing materials. A literature review conducted by the registrant suggests that the mean odor threshold for DMDS is 7 to 12 ppb (0.007 - 0.012 ppm), which is approximately three orders of magnitude below the concentration at which nasal irritation is observed in rodent inhalation studies. This suggests that individuals near a treated field are likely to detect the odor of DMDS before it reaches a concentration at which it would begin to produce nasal irritation. However, the time required for a person to detect the odor and the variability and aversion to the odor among various individuals is not currently known for DMDS."

---- — SALEM — The first public discussion of Superintendent Stephen Russell's proposal to end the extended-year program at Saltonstall Elementary School has been scheduled for the April 8 school board meeting.
The School Committee set that date this week after member Brendan Walsh recommended resolving the controversial issue before the board hammers out a budget for the 2013-14 school year.
Walsh met with some resistance from Mayor Kim Driscoll, a Saltonstall parent. She said it might be better to wait for Russell to announce the citywide enrichment programs that he is proposing for the summer of 2014 as an alternative to the longer school year at Saltonstall.
Driscoll said it would be hard to discuss changing Saltonstall's schedule "without knowing what's going to replace it."
Russell said he does not expect to have those details ready in two weeks.
Saltonstall, a much-heralded "break the mold" school with a longer day and year, opened more than 15 years ago and suddenly finds itself in the spotlight.
Currently, it is in session 190 days, 10 more than other city schools, with classes through July. Teachers are paid 16 percent more for the extra hours. Russell has proposed eliminating those extra 10 days and adding summer enrichment programs for several hundred children from schools across the city, including Saltonstall.
In the past, school board members who wanted to cut back the Saltonstall schedule have argued that it is an important "equity" issue. At a time when the school district is under pressure from the state to raise MCAS scores and make other improvements to a system with a large number of children from poor families and homes with limited English, funds should be spent more evenly, they have argued.
School officials aren't sure how much would be saved by ending the extended year at Saltonstall. Combined, the longer day and year are budgeted for an extra $300,000, but how much would be saved by cutting those 10 days depends, in part, on negotiations with the Salem Teachers Union, according to officials.
Russell insists that saving money is not the driving force behind his proposal. However, any funds that would be saved presumably would help fund the summer programs.
No matter what happens, Saltonstall will be open through July this summer. A new schedule would not go into effect until next school year.
The superintendent also notes that there are no plans to end the extended-day program. Russell says he is a strong supporter of Saltonstall and is recommending retaining the extra hour — a goal he hopes to attain at other schools.
The superintendent has repeatedly stressed that this proposed action is not punitive, but rather a way to offer more summer options to a greater number of students, including those at Saltonstall. While he has not spelled out potential programs, in conversations he has mentioned robotics, environmental science and other "high interest" subjects.
While Russell's proposal is aimed at the summer of 2014, school officials are working on pilot programs they hope to offer this summer.
Several Saltonstall parents spoke at the end of the Monday meeting, urging the board to keep the extended year. Two noted the apparent inconsistency of reducing hours at Saltonstall while contemplating adding hours to schools across the city to improve learning and allow teachers more planning time.
"We're talking about where the school district is planning to go, and we're talking about removing that (at Saltonstall)?" parent Marcie Clawson said. "It's a shame."
Clawson was interrupted once by Walsh, who asked if the board should allow the Saltonstall schedule to be discussed during the "questions and comments" segment of the meeting since the subject was not on the agenda.
He was overruled by Driscoll, who noted that Walsh brought up the subject himself under School Committee "concerns and resolutions" when he proposed the April 8 meeting.

House Approves Welfare and Child Care Reauthorization
For more information, contact

Cell: 703/980-7641
E-mail: email@example.com
On May 16, the U.S. House of Representatives approved the reauthorization of the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, the Child Care and Development Fund, and abstinence education (H.R. 4737). The House-passed bill falls short of what is needed to help low-income families move out of poverty and better support their children. The welfare debate now turns to the Senate which is expected to take action on welfare legislation in the next few weeks.
The House-passed bill (H.R. 4737) was the final version of the bill that incorporates President Bush's welfare reform proposals. The bill:
freezes TANF funding for the next 5 years;
increases work requirements for single mothers to 40 hours per week;
reduces state flexibility to provide education and training to TANF recipients;
offers a small child care increase of only 4% next year with no additional funds guaranteed for the following four years; and
gives broad authority to the Secretaries of the U.S. Departments of Health and Human Services, Labor, Education, Housing, and Agriculture to waive any rules for programs such as child care, food stamps, public housing, and TANF. For example, under such authority states could choose to eliminate child care quality set-asides and market rate requirements under their child care programs.
The House earlier rejected, along party lines, an amendment by Congressman Ben Cardin (D-MD), that would have increased TANF funding by the rate of inflation over the next five years and increased funding for child care by $11.2 billion. Recognizing that substance abuse is a barrier to employment, the amendment would have also allowed up to six months of substance abuse treatment services to be considered as a work activity for TANF recipients.

Mena gas wealth to last over 30 years
Gulf oil heavyweights and other hydrocarbon producers in the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) have around 88 trillion cubic metres (tcm) of proven natural gas deposits which can last more than 30 years at current production growth rates.
While the gas reserves in some Mena countries is far higher in the presence of undiscoverable resources, the gas wealth in other Mena areas is depleting in the absence of new discoveries against a rapid rise in domestic demand.
According to the Saudi-based Arab Petroleum Investment Corp (Apicorp), an affiliate of the 10-nation Organization of Arab petroleum Exporting Countries (OAPEC), the undiscoverable gas deposits in the region are estimated at 26.6 tcm.
"For a production growth of 6.9 per cent a year, which corresponds to the last 10‐year average, future volumes from remaining reserves would last 33 years....this is just above the conventional 30‐year time horizon for strategic planning in the field of exploration and development (E&D)," Apicorp's senior consultant Ali Aissaoui said in a five-page study sent to Emirates 24/7.
But Aissaoui warned that reserve depletion in more than half the countries listed in the study has critically neared ‐ if not already reached ‐ the point that warrants drastic actions to curb demand and support a supply response.
He said the opportunities for the latter will be driven by a vast potential for reserve expansion, adding that on a country-by‐country basis, the potential appears to be the greatest in Iran, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, followed by Iraq, the UAE and Algeria. Prospects also seem favorable in Egypt, Oman and Libya, he said.
"As the opportunities available will be increased by unconventional gas, they will entail significant challenges...confronting the region's natural gas paradox ‐ a paradox of scarcity amidst plenty - requires both a demand and supply response," he said.
"As far as the supply side is concerned, Mena policy makers need to rethink critically their E&D policies and the corresponding economic incentives."
Aissaoui's figures showed Iran had around 33.1 tcm of recoverable gas deposits at the start of 2012 while they were estimated at 25 tcm in Qatar, 8.2 tcm in Saudi Arabia, 6.1 tcm in the UAE, 4.5 tcm in Algeria, 3.6 tcm in Iraq, 2.2 tcm in Egypt, 1.8 tcm in Kuwait, 1.5 tcm in Libya and around 0.9 tcm in Oman.
Undiscovered deposits were put at 12.8 tcm in Saudi Arabia, 5.9 tcm in Iran, 0/92 tcm in Algeria, 0.81 tcm in the UAE, 0.77 tcm in Qatar, 0.63 tcm in Oman, around 0.39 tcm in Libya and 0.38 tcm in Egypt.

Have questions about HIV/AIDS? We have answers to Frequently Asked Questions.
HIV stands for the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, and is the virus that causes AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). It is a virus that attacks the immune system.
Over time, and without treatment, HIV gradually destroys the body's defenses against disease, leaving it vulnerable to many infections and cancers that do not normally develop.
AIDS is a late stage of HIV disease. By the time of an AIDS diagnosis, HIV has already seriously damaged the body's immune system. Often, a person living with AIDS will already have had life-threatening infections or cancers.
