The file attached on right shows the full list of topics that participants of the second Altadena Community Visioning workshop discussed on April 25.
The topics were divided into five areas to review community issues: People and Community,Town/District Centers, Mobility and Recreation, Neighborhoods, and Business Environment.
As , each group that looked at one of the topics gave a report on which of the topics for their category they felt should take priority. We reported the following list of priority topics that we heard mentioned at the meeting (and added ones that were discussed in the video we shot):
- Coordinating the county bike plan for Altadena with Pasadena's bike plan and with other adjacent communities
- Completing the Altadena Crest Trail
- Allowing night access to the trail
- Better traffic enforcement on north-south streets
- Limiting overnight parking in some residential areas
- Possible regulations on leafblower noise
- Reducing regulations on sidewalk signs
- Convert vacant lots to dog parks or neighborhood hang-out spots
- Ease parking restrictions in commercial areas to bring in new businesses
- Updating signage styles on Lake Avenue
- Look into increasing light industrial zoning to bring in new jobs to Altadena
- Make safe walking areas
- Update Lincoln Avenue
- Expand Charles White Park
- Eliminate styles standards to allow for originality for individual owners
- Preserve the Altadena Library
- Allow use of storefront church parking lots for business parking, since many are occupied only on weekends.
- Eliminate 35 foot height limit to allow uses like rooftop dining in commercial areas
- More enforcement of residential style standards to prevent homes with designs outside of neighborhood look
- Re-stripe Lake Avenue into one lane each way near the intersection with Mariposa for better pedestrian safety.
- Penalties on land owners who leave commercial lots vacant for extended amounts of time
- More sidewalks, particularly in areas where children walk to school.
The county will be releasing a draft report outlining these priorities and some of the other ideas discussed in the topic categories listed at right.
That report will come out some time in May, and will be the subject of discussion at the final workshop on June 6.
Those who want to make comments about any of the topics or the workshop in general can contact Matt Lust, of the Community Development Commission of the County of Los Angeles, at (323) 890-7203 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The purpose of the ' is to gather public input on what potential changes should be made to update Altadena codes, as well as take a broader look at what priorities county planners should have for Altadena's future. That will include "future land use, economic developments, streetscape improvements, open space, safety, and preservation of local character."
The public input will be used to amend the Altadena Community Standards, which governs business and residential codes that are specific to Altadena. The input will also be used to look at bigger picture plans for Altadena in the future.

In Ottowa due to storm - where to eat
My mother-in-law has a couple of extra days in Ottowa, thanks to the monster blizzard in the US, and needs recommendations for lunch and dinner places for tonight and tomorrow (and possibly Thursday). Price not an issue (she is from NYC). She loves nice dinners and hole-in-the-wall specialties. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!
Where is she staying? That might help us narrow down some choices for you.
My favourites are Wellington Gastropub, Play (in the market), Whalesbone for oysters, Nicastro's for an Italian sandwich, and the brunch at Domus is nice too. I also love the frites and aioli at the Metropolitain. And a family member recently enjoyed a dinner at Black Cat bistro. I know its not really ice cream weather, but she should try Pascale's which is sold at Thyme & Again and The Piggy Market, as well as various restaurants around town.

A van equipped with generators on its exterior and painted with conspiracy quotes touched off a three-hour investigation at the last night.
were called to the mall at 8:30 p.m. on Aug. 11 when security officers observed a suspicious van parked in the East lot, away from the building. Police on scene immediately began securing the area from shoppers, as it was still 30 minutes until the mall would be closed and the van had been deemed "extremely suspicious."
About 30 cars in the area were included in that area so the owners of the vehicles had to wait until the investigation was over at 11:50 p.m. before they could leave.
According to police, the 2003 Chevy Astro van in question had a cargo rack attached to the rear with two large cargo boxes. There appeared to be two gas cans secured to the top of the van with tubing and/or wires trailing to the interior, police said, and there were also wires coming from inside one box to a smaller wired box hanging below the cargo rack.
The entire exterior of the white van was covered with rambling verses and conspiracy comments raising the concern of the officers on scene, police said.
Megan Murphy, the town fire marshal was also on scene and notified the state police bomb squad. While waiting the arrival of the bomb squad, the operator of the van was located inside the mall and detained.
The bomb squad conducted their investigation and they found no imminent danger to any persons and/or property.
The operator was identified as Robert Cline, 47, of Stratford. He reportedly told police that the boxes contained a generator, which was used because he occasionally lives in the van. Police said Cline was released at the scene.

Dr. Gerson showed us the path of the hero to wellness. He did not believe in incurable disease. He had tremendous faith in life. His lifetime work and dedication has been a precious tool for both patients and practitioners. From his personal experience, patients learn determination to heal, regardless of prognostics from the medical authorities. From his professional experience, doctors may learn integrity in their service to humanity. Dr. Gerson did not give up until he found the true cause of disease: toxicity and deficiency.

"This therapy has cured many cases of advanced cancer."
The cure of advanced cancer by diet therapy: a summary of 30 years of clinical experimentation
by Max Gerson, M.D.
Gerson Institute, Box 535, Imperial Beach, California 92032
(1978 Publisher's Note. This is a lecture given by Dr. Gerson in Escondido, California, in 1956. Dr. Gerson died in 1959. More complete information on his therapy for advanced cancer may be found in his book A Cancer Therapy: Results of 50 Cases, by Max Gerson, 3rd edition, 1977, Totality Books, Del Mar, CA or from his daughter Mrs. Charlotte Gerson Straus at the Gerson Institute, Box 535, Imperial Beach, CA 92032. Socioeconomic and political perspectives are discussed in the book Has Dr. Max Gerson a True Cancer Cure? by S. J. Haught, 1976, Major Books, 21335, Roscoe Blvd., Canoga Park, CA 91304. - From gerson-research.org)
Thirty years of clinical experimentation has led to a successful therapy for advanced cancer. This therapy is based on the concepts (1) that cancer patients have low immuno-reactivity and generalized tissue damage, especially of the liver, and (2) that when the cancer is destroyed, toxic degradation products appear in the bloodstream which lead to coma and death from liver failure. The therapy consists of high potassium, low sodium diet, with no fats or oils, and minimal animal proteins. Juices of raw fruits and vegetables and of raw liver provide active oxidizing enzymes which facilitate rehabilitation of the liver. Iodine and niacin supplementation is used. Caffeine enemas cause dilation of bile ducts, which facilitates excretion of toxic cancer breakdown products by the liver and dialysis of toxic products from blood across the colonic wall. The therapy must be used as an integrated whole. Parts of the therapy used in isolation will not be successful. This therapy has cured many cases of advanced cancer.
"... Finally, I had a clinic. The patients saw that also the more advanced cases and even some terminal cases, very far advanced cases, could be saved. They brought me more and more of these terminal cases. I was forced into that. On the one side, the knife of the AMA was at my throat and on my back. I had only terminal cases. If I had not saved them, my clinic would have been a death house. Some of the cases were brought on stretchers. They couldn't walk. They could no longer eat. It was very, very difficult. So, I really had to work out a treatment that could help these far advanced cases. Again, I was forced into it.
... The physicians, including the family doctor, all told him that he could live only 4 to 6 weeks, especially since all bones of the pelvis were full of cancer. He looked terribly ill when he came to me. His wife brought him with a nurse. He had made his last will and did not expect to live. Now we cured that. It was especially difficult. I should like to thank his wife. She prepared the treatment with the greatest devotion. She was wonderful and we could rely on her. In a family where there is real devotion in the application of this treatment, we can even save these far advanced cases. Of course, we cannot save all of them but we can save more than we sometimes even consider possible. (Question from the audience: "How long did it take?") In the urinary bladder, it didn't take but a few weeks and there was no longer any blood and pus, nor in the stools either. But in the pelvis there were hundreds of spots, and that takes a long time because the body transforms this cancer first into so-called osteoplastic areas, not an osteolytic process which is bone reducing. With my treatment more bone is produced. The body produces more bone, and then the hypertrophic bone is transformed into normal bone tissue. Then there is no more pain. Now the patient can get around and is even the manager of a company."
"Now, for the proof of this theory. I had the idea to make an animal experiment in which we connected two rats — one cancerous rat and one healthy one. We cut them open along the side and connected a blood vessel, then sewed them together: The blood from the healthy rat circulated in the sick one day and night and cleared up the sick body. Thus we showed that with a healthy normal metabolism you can cure cancer. ..."

Here is an article from 1954, where Max Gerson draws this conclusion:
"Human beings have brought upon themselves the disease of cancer by their ungoverned self-indulgence, their urge for luxurious living, and increasing evils of our civilization."
Translated from "Krebskrankheit, ein Problem das Stoffwechsels"
Medizinische Klinik No. 26, June 25, 1954, Munich, Germany
The purpose of the following article is to show, in broad outline, that cancer is not a problem of vitamins, hormones and enzymes, that it is not a problem of allergies, nor a variety of intermedial substances of metabolism or carcinogenic substances. It is not a question of some unknown virus infection and most certainly not a purely local cell problem, but an accumulation of numerous factors which proved damaging to the body and its metabolism over a long period of time.
Its cure is a basic process, embracing all the above factors and many others besides, by means of which total metabolism can be more or less re-established over a period of time.
It is generally known that in cancer,
especially in advanced cases, all the various metabolic systems are
impaired: the exchange of minerals, the symbiosis of intestinal
bacteria, the reactivation of enzymes of oxidation, the circulation of
vitamins, the breaking down of fats, proteins and to some extent
J. Maisin,1 1923, and B.
Fischer-Wasels,2 1929, were probably the first who abandoned
the theory of local irritation and stressed the physiological basis of
general tumor predisposition. Thereafter there was a tendency to take
refuge in the old constitutional and diathetic doctrine (Reding3),
Slosse,4 as is the case in diabetes, gout and tuberculosis.
The compendium by F.L. Hoffmann,5 1937, gives a survey of
world literature on the subject. In his statistical summary in the
preface (page 15) he says:
The monograph of W. Caspari6 gives a more condensed survey and specifically turns away from local causes, more in the direction of metabolism. — A decrease in calorie-intake as a fames cura was already familiar to the ancient physicians, and is described by Cornelius Nepos.7
Modern experimental studies on the effect of dietary restrictions have been carried out particularly by Albert Tannenbaum8 et al., and Larsen & Heston.11 Of Tannenbaum's conclusions the following are valuable: "as yet no tumor has been found that does not respond to a restricted diet" and: "inhibition involved both a decrease in the total number of tumors and a delay in the average time of appearance."
Freund and Kaminer12 in 1937/38 presented practical suggestions for a special diet to be given to inoperable patients: avoidance of all animal fats and substitution of oil; in cancer patients restriction of carbohydrates, in sarcoma patients restriction of peptones; frequent enemas and, as an antiseptic, salol, menthol, and bismuth subsalycylate. They report that they had little success with inoperable patients.
Caspari and Ottensosser13 (1932) in experiments with animals found in frequent dietary changes a functional increase of the R.E.S. — De Raadt14 (1929/30) attempted to increase the alkalosis of the tumor with acids. Fischer-Wasels followed this conception in the main. He recommended little salt, sugar and water, no fats and, to increase acidity, he gave HCl, NH4Cl. Calc. Phosphate. Both investigators recommended the diet merely as a helpful supplementary treatment.
Of the many other dietary attempts in the treatment of cancer, most of them carried out by laymen or physicians using natural remedies, the following are worth mentioning: the old Irish yeast cure and the most recent use in Switzerland of chlorophyll or spinach juice. We have observed no basic results from the much-lauded grape cure. As the best preventive diet against cancer we may mention the Hunsa's diet of food grown by organic gardening processes.15 These people remain healthy to an advanced age and cancer is unknown among them. On the other hand, Jese P. Greenstein.16 says: "preventing cancer means preventing human beings."
We believe that this brief survey will show how dietary treatment of malignant tumors has bogged down almost completely in the theoretical or experimental stage. Practical, systematic experiments with diseased human beings were almost always abandoned after a short time. (See the results of inquiries in Monatsschrift Fur Kebsbekampfung, 1936, No. 9 page 257.)
The fundamentals of my cancer diet are briefly:
Forbidden items: nicotine (tobacco), salt, sharp condiments, (only fresh or dried herbs are permitted), tea, coffee, cocoa, chocolate, alcohol, white sugar, white flour, candy, ice cream, cream, cake, nuts, mushrooms, soybeans and soy products, cucumbers and pumpkins, pineapples, all berries (except red currants), water to drink. Nothing canned, bottled, sulphured, frozen, smoked, salted or bleached. No fat, no oil, no salt substitutes, no bicarbonate of soda — either in food, toothpaste or mouthwash, no hair-dyeing (relapses have occurred after hair-dyeing).
Temporarily forbidden: (during the first months, especially at the beginning of the treatment): meat, fish, eggs, butter, cheese, milk.
Cooking utensils: pressure cookers may not be used, nor saucepans or other utensils of aluminum. Stainless steel, glass, enamel, earthenware, cast iron and pewter may be used. Two machines are needed for the preparation of juices: a.) a grinder, b.) a press. Machines which grand and press the food in one process are not to be used. This eliminates the customary juicers, juice mixers, centrifuges and electrical grinders and mixers which kill most of the oxidizing enzymes.
A selected number of fruits and vegetables with the highest possible K/Na quotient are given. Vegetables are cooked in their own juices without additional water. Foods should be eaten raw as much as possible, especially a mixture of grated apples and carrots, which are rich in enzymes in their natural combinations. The latter are necessary for the binding and inactivation of oxygen in the intestines. If it is not inactivated, dysbacteria follows, that is the development of the bacteria of putrefaction and fermentation.
As much fruit and vegetable juices as possible are to be taken, always freshly prepared in order to preserve enzymes and vitamins. Patients are given juices every hour, the total daily amount to equal as follows:
All these juices are particularly rich in oxidizing enzymes, vitamins, hormones and important mineral combinations which the diseased organs cannot themselves manufacture for a long time. The large amount of liquid is of no importance because the detoxification process soon restores the circulatory mechanism and sufficiently regulates elimination. The importance of enemas is mentioned in the treatment book and in the preceding article.1 red., Oatmeal without milk but with brown sugar and fruit, is given for breakfast. Potatoes are given baked, mashed or as salad but without mayonnaise. Lemon or vinegar dressing only. The Hippocrates soup is given once or twice, and frequent servings of leafy salads and fruit salads or a combination of the two.
After six weeks the following additions: yoghurt or skimmed milk — one glass daily; pot cheese without salt or cream — one quarter or one half pound daily.
The result is as diet rich in potassium and the minerals of the K-group, low in sodiums and its group and rich in active vitamins, enzymes and hormones in their natural forms. At first the diet does not include animal protein, later small amounts are added, but fat and oil are kept at a minimum for a long time until recovery is complete. These restrictions are necessary primarily more to rid the damaged digestive tract of toxins, than to burden the diseased organs as little as possible. It also prepares the way for perenteral digestion of the tumor and its metastases, and later maintains the bread-down of tumor remnants, adhesions and scar masses. The digestive enzymes, pepsin, trypsin, lipase, etc. are needed for the parenteral digestion of cancer masses, and should not be used up in the ordinary digestive processes.Medication for the first fortnight:
After two weeks the following changes:
Diet and medication serve the purpose of restoring potassium and the minerals of the K-group (see Rudolf Keller) to the tissues until they are completely saturated and, conversely, of reconveying sodium and its group out of the cells and into the circulatory fluids, the connective tissues and other tissues where they naturally belong. The retentive surplus of sodium must be eliminated. It is only on this basis that further recovery of the organs can take place. In another study I have indicated that cancer develops particularly in the various organs in which sodium is physiologically reabsorbed, that is to say, stored up, as for example, in the excretory ducts of the mammal gland, in the ductus Wirsungianus of the pancreas, etc. It also develops more frequently later in life when the potassium-content of the cells is gradually lost and sodium is added, thus increasing the susceptibility of the cells to cancer. On the other hand, tissues with higher potassium-content, such as the muscles, are more protected.
Oxidation can once more predominantly function in all organs and fermentation is held back. Oxidizing enzymes, vitamins and hormones are again restored to full function and come into proper circulation. Along with the metabolism, the healing mechanism is restored. This mechanism can be activated for the cure of cancer, only if the restorative and eliminative organs for toxins and waste, especially the liver and kidneys, still function adequately.Conclusion
Human beings have brought upon themselves the disease of cancer by their ungoverned self-indulgence, their urge for luxurious living, and increasing evils of our civilization. These human weaknesses, constantly stimulated by deep-seated instincts can never be eradicated. Thus cancer will be continuous and ever increasing threat to humanity.
Only a few will submit for a sufficiently long time to moderation and restrictions, and the more natural nutritive regime of the diet therapy. Few people will turn to it as a prophylactic measure. When they are ill and have no other choice, they will submit to a more natural system of living.
This is the conclusion I have drawn from my long years of practice. Discouraging though it may be, it must not prevent doctors from continuing their efforts in the direction of research and therapy.

Know the Laws: Mississippi
UPDATED November 26, 2012
A protective order is a civil order that provides protection from physical abuse, stalking, sexual abuse and threats of abuse by someone who meets a specific relationship requirement.
This section defines domestic violence for the purposes of getting a domestic violence protective order.
Under MS law, "abuse" means the occurrence of one or more of the following acts between spouses, former spouses, persons living as spouses or who formerly lived as spouses, persons having a child in common, other relatives who live together or formerly lived together or between people who have a current or former dating relationship:
A protective order is a court order that is designed to stop your abuser from hurting you and your family.
There are 2 types of protective orders.
A temporary order is designed to offer you immediate, emergency protection from the abuser. Temporary orders are granted only if you can prove to the judge through your testimony or evidence that you need one to prevent immediate harm to you or your family. A judge will assume that if you are asking for a temporary order you will also want a permanent order.
A temporary order generally lasts until the court hearing that you must have in order to receive a permanent order. This usually takes place within 10 days after the abuser has been presented, or served, with the temporary order. The orders can be extended for up to 20 days.*
You may receive a temporary order ex parte, which means without the knowledge of the abuser, or his presence in the courtroom.
A permanent order can be issued only after a court hearing in which you and the abuser both have a chance to tell your sides of the story. It offers longer-term legal protection than the temporary order. A permanent order lasts up to three years and the expiration date will be clearly written on the order.
However, if you are given temporary custody, visitation or child support in a final domestic abuse protection order, those terms are only effective for 180 days. For a longer lasting order adderssing those issues, you would have to file separate petitions for custody, visitation or support. If at the end of the one-hundred-eighty-day period, neither party has filed a separate petition regarding those issues, the custody, visitation or support terms will go back to whatever order was in effect regarding those topics when the domestic abuse protection order was granted.**
* MS Code § 93-21-13(1)
** MS Code § 93-21-15(1)(c)
A temporary order can:
A permanent order can do all of the things that a temporary order can do (listed above) and also:
Note: The protective order will have a warning to the abuser that possessing a firearm may be against federal law. (See our MS State Gun Laws and Federal Gun Laws pages for more information). However, to try to get local police to enforce the firearm restriction, you can ask the judge to include in the protective order that the abuser has to hand over any firearms in his possession to the authorities and forbid him from buying firearms.

A developer who wants to build a new apartment complex on Patterson Street in Hillsdale will begin presenting an application to the borough Planning Board Wednesday.
The plan calls for a three-story, 57-unit apartment building to be built on a wooded lot located between the PSE&G substation, some houses and the Pascack Brook.
Some residents have already expressed concern about the size of the proposed building and said that it may worsen flooding further down the brook.
"An apartment building of that magnitude ... it's just not needed," Manson Place resident Marisa Cefali previously said.
Cefali was one of a group of neighbors opposed to the plan who attended the previous board meeting to ask about the application.
Another applicant had recently proposed to build a 36-unit apartment building on Orchard Street. The Hillsdale Planning Board unanimously rejected that plan in September. Board members cited traffic concerns with that site, which is located between Broadway and the railroad. That developer has since sued the borough over the rejection.
The Hillsdale Planning Board meets in the Municipal Building at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday.

Dave Robinson and his team at the Office of the New Jersey State Climatologist at Rutgers have established BigGameWeather.com, a website that serves as a "one-stop shop" for weather and climate information relating to the NFL's championship game.
The website was created to predict what the weather will be on Feb. 2, the date of the game at MetLife Stadium, based on the weather pattern on Feb. 2 from previous years.
Robinson told Rutgers Today that there is a 57 percent chance the temperature could dip below freezing during the game, and a 25 percent chance of snow or rain.
In 1961, the area saw 15.2 inches of snowfall, but the worst of it for Newark specifically came in 1985, according to the report.
Robinson is working with his research assistant Dan Zarrow and Assistant State Climatologist Mat Gerbush on the website, according to the university.

The October nor'easter packed a punch and has left the overwhelming majority of Cheshire in the dark.
More than 10,000 residents, or 91 percent, are without power according to Connecticut Light & Power which serves 11,236 customers in town.
There are no working traffic lights on Route 10 from Hinman Road south to Cook Hill Road.
While the majority of businesses are closed due to the outages, is open thanks to a generator, as is and Everybody's grocery store. The Mobil Gas station on South Main Street is open, too.
The town has opened the as an emergency shelter.
Downed trees are playing a large part in what has shaped up to be an historic number of outages across Connecticut and the East Coast. More than 800,000 CL&P customers are without power - more than after Hurricane Gloria - and the Associated Press reported last night that 2.2 million customers were without power.
Cheshire Patch will continue to provide updates and more information as it becomes availabe. Editor's note: This story was reported by Cheshire Patch Editor Leslie Hutchison and written by Patch Regional Editor Gary Jeanfaivre.

6 Tips for GenY on the Job Hunt
How to market your unique skills and characteristics to employers.
Make social media a selling point. Depending on the type of jobs you're applying for, your knowledge of social media could be the thing that sets you apart from other, more experienced candidates. "A nice approach would be to present ideas to the people you're interviewing with about how the company could leverage social networking and use new technologies," says Lim. "Many companies right now still do not know how to take advantage of the 500 million people on Facebook. This is a clear way to differentiate yourself." If your prospective employer is already savvy in social media, Pollak suggests subscribing to its Twitter feed to "find out what they're talking about; what's important to them," and use this knowledge in the interview. "Companies don't want to train you—they want you to hit the ground running. It really puts you in a position of almost looking like a colleague already," she says.
[See How to Use Twitter to Find a Job.]
Be creative in articulating your skills. "A lot of times, Millennials entering the working world don't know how to translate what they've done into what employers are look for," says Floren. For example, if a job posting calls for leadership skills, think beyond the obvious. You may have never been the president of anything, but "maybe you were a camp counselor or you're the oldest child," she says. "There are a lot of ways leadership can be expressed." Employers aren't necessarily looking for someone who's managed a department—sometimes they're just looking for potential.
Don't forget etiquette. Seemingly little things, like leaving your cell phone on the table, can hurt you in an interview, says Pollak. Follow interview etiquette to the letter. Be prompt—but don't go overboard. "A lot of recruiters say it's annoying when candidates show up too early," she says. Thank-you notes are still very important, and Pollak says within today's corporate culture, E-mail is acceptable: "I'm a big fan of sending it the same day. If the interview was at 10:00, I would love to see a note before 5:00."

The New York Times' recent article (Rachel Dodes, 12th December, 2004) commented on the influx of foreign visitors to Buenos Aires. They are described as strolling through the streets of the trendy Palermo Viejo neighbourhood, visiting the many sights that the city offers, as well as enjoying the delicious beef and wine. Nevertheless, the article, entitled "Why go now" neglected to mention yet another reason for an influx of visitors to the city - the first South American Music Conference (www.samc.net).
Buenos Aires has long been regarded as the dance music centre of South America. After jockeying with Brazil and after hosting Creamfields Buenos Aires in 2002, Argentina has finally solidified itself as the capital of electronica in South America.
The SAMC is yet another of Heineken Music's many offerings around the world - having maintained a strong presence in the Southern cone with Heineken Thirst, they have helped develop local DJ and music industries, as well as bring a number of international DJs to the continent. With the reputations of Detroit, Miami and the forthcoming London in Spring 2005, many saw the SAMC as the chance for Argentina and South America to become firmly established in the global calendar.
Gustavo Sofovich, event organizer and producer commented on his idea and projections for the future: "Having lived in Miami, I saw the model that is the Winter Music Conference. So why not create a South American conference like Miami, so that DJs, promoters, record labels, club owners could come together? In 2004 we began the kickoff for a lot of parties and conferences. In February we'll be hosting Tiesto again, and then we'll have South American Techno, which is a pure techno festival. The idea is that in 4 / 5 years, we'll be just like Miami - 4 or 5 days of conference and parties. By the 4th year we'll have over 50,000 people."
Attended by fans, musicians, DJs, producers, radio programmers, fashion designers, distributors, music publications, music schools, record labels, event organizers and club owners the Conference gave many the opportunity to network and discuss the local and international industry.
Elio Riso (Argentine DJ & producer) commented on the importance of the SAMC for South America: "I believe it's very important for South America that there's a conference, especially since for 7 or 8 years there has been the Winter Music Conference in Miami. Now the industry can begin to look at South America a lot more. Despite a larger quantity of people in Brazil, the scene is a lot more advanced in Argentina. This also creates competition with Creamfields which can only be good for the fans. With the economic situation, a lot of tourists are visiting Argentina, and this also means that there is better exposure of international DJs in the country. I think the crowd is here tonight, to see both the international and south American DJs - the DJs are giving it their best, as is the crowd."

KUALA LUMPUR: The wealthy living in the posh Mont Kiara area are being targeted by burglars and robbers.
A series of robberies and break-ins have occurred at the luxury condominiums there recently.
On March 11, a woman was robbed by four men armed with crowbars who escaped with RM1.5mil worth of jewellery and RM50,000.
Brickfields OCPD Asst Comm Wan Abdul Bari Wan Abdul Khalid said the robbery happened at about 6pm at a condominium with 24-hour security.
It is believed that the men were able to bypass the security post with a stolen or duplicate access card to enter the premises.
There have been incidents of similar robberies in other condominiums in the area over the past few weeks, pointing to the involvement of a single robbery gang.
"We are investigating the robberies and are not discounting that,'' ACP Wan Abdul Bari said.

Dolch sight words are introduced from kindergarten through third grade, so by the fourth grade, most students know them by sight. Therefore, the list of 5th grade Dolch sight words would be those 220 words.
Hangman - This is a good classroom game for spelling and can be played by two students or two teams. There is another version that you can call Melting Snowman, Disappearing Man, or Invisible Man. It is like reverse Hangman, where you draw two figures on the board with an equal number of parts. They can be stick people, snowmen, or any thing else that can have between 12 and 15 parts. Students take turns saying a word, spelling it, and saying it again. When one team member spells a word right, one part of the other team's man gets erased by him or her. The winner is the team which has a part of its man showing after the other one disappears or melts. This game could also be used for vocabulary practice.
Spelling Bee - One student is the "bee" and stands behind another student's desk. The student sitting has to spell the word. If he or she is correct, he or she becomes the "bee" and the former bee sits in that desk. If the student misses it, the whole class spells it together. You can keep the other students engaged by letting them give a "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" after each student spells a word.
Fun School.Kaboose.com has some arcade-type games to help with spelling and vocabulary. Some fun ones are:
Teachers and parents can make their own word games, word search puzzles and crosswords puzzles, at several sites online. Here are a few good ones:
At Word Search Fun.com you can make your own word search puzzle to print out and use in the classroom. Just pick the size of your puzzle, type in the words, and it will instantly create one for you.
At Puzzlemaker.Discovery Education.com, you can make word search puzzles and crossword puzzles. For the crossword puzzles, you type in the words and their definitions. This can help both vocabulary and spelling.
Tools for Educators has many word games that can be printed out and used in the classroom. It also has worksheets, bingo, and a crossword puzzle maker where you can make your own using words of your choosing.
Angel Fire has great resources for teachers. This is a one stop site because it has many links to resources for teachers. It has worksheets, games, and flash cards, just to name a few. It is definitely worth a look.
If you are looking for one site that has links to a lot of educational games, Gamequarium is it. Although it does not give specific grade levels, it covers many of them.
For example: If you go to the Directory and click on Readquarium, you will be taken to a page where you have these choices:
Clicking on vocabulary gives you choices like: Analogies, Antonyms, Categorizing, Context Clues, Homophones, Prefixes, Root Words, Suffixes, Synonyms, and Word Meaning.

PALMETTO, Ga. (AP) - Two girls, ages 6 and 7, were killed Monday morning when their car spun into the path of a pickup truck in South Fulton County, the Georgia State Patrol reported.The girls - though wearing seatbelts - were ejected from a black 2000 Mitsubishi Galant that had been headed north on U.S. Highway 29, said Larry Schnall, a Georgia State Patrol spokesman. ''It was one of the worst collisions I've seen in a long time,'' Schnall said. Killed were Naomi Sutton, 6, and Mariah Meadows, 7. The driver was 29-year-old Ardea Nadine Meadows, who was Naomi's mother and Mariah's aunt. The woman was seriously injured, Schnall said. The crash occurred shortly after 8 a.m. at the intersection of 29 and Wilkerson Mill Road, near Palmetto. Despite heavy rains and poor visibility, the Galant was passing other vehicles, Schnall said, recounting witness statements. The car spun into the southbound lanes, and its rear hit the front of an oncoming Dodge pickup truck driven by an off-duty Fulton County firefighter, Schnall said. The seatbelts ripped loose from the car's frame, Schnall said. One child was completely ejected and the other was partly ejected, he said. No charges have been filed, but investigators are still going over the scene. They have not been able to determine how fast the Galant was moving but noted one tire was bald, Schnall said. The driver of the pickup truck, though distraught, was not seriously injured, Schnall said. He did not immediately identify the man.

senior and former football team captain Jamil Shah has signed a national letter-of-intent to play college football next season at Bowie State University.
Shah, however, will have company when he enrolls at the Division II school later this year. He plans to bring along his best friend and former high school teammate, Joel Insilo.
"We're both going over there and we're going to play for them," said Shah, who began playing football as a ninth grader at Einstein. "I like the whole atmosphere of Bowie [State University]."
Shah emigrated to the United States from Pakistan when he was only three years old, attending and before enrolling at Einstein as a ninth grader.
Shah considered several other colleges including Shepherd (West Virginia) and Indiana University of Pennsylvania but said that Bowie State's proximity to his Silver Spring residence was a major factor in his decision to go there.
"In the end I think this was the best [college] for me because it's close to home," he said.
Bowie State competes in the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association. The Bulldogs finished the 2010 campaign with a 6-4 overall record including a 6-1 mark in the conference.
"I'm really excited about playing for them," Shah said. "It's a pretty strong team. It's a program [where] I would like to contribute."
Shah toiled at center and defensive tackle during his high school career but is keeping his options open for college.
"Whatever the coaches want to put me at I'll play," said Shah, a 5-foot-11, 245-pound two-way starter at Einstein. "If they want me to play a different position I'm more than willing to play a different position."
Shah said his best friend plans to make an impact on defense as a strong safety in the Bulldogs' secondary.
"We can both push each other to be better next fall and hopefully make an impact at Bowie" he said.

The Smiths are back at it again!
The father-son duo are starring in new action Sci-Fi film entitled 'After Earth' where Will plays legendary General Cypher Raige. The movie takes place one thousand years after cataclysmic events force humanity's escape from earth. A place called Nova Prime becomes mankind's new home, where Will's character returns from an extended tour of duty to his estranged family. An asteroid storm damages there aircraft and they land on a now unfamiliar and dangerous Earth.
Jaden Smith, who plays Cypher's 13 year old son Kitai, has to step up when his father ends up seriously hurt from the crash. The whole movie is based off of Jaden's character learning his ways around this hostile earth, facing all kinds of creatures, aliens and all while trying to survive and battle for his life.
This M. Night Shyamalan flick has a very Avatar-ish, I Am Legend kinda feel, far from the previous movie the father -son collabo starred in for Pursuit of Happiness.
It's set to drop in 2013.
What do we think about this one? Lol.

Update: Swisher has low-grade hammy strainBy
4:43pm: Swisher has a low-grade hamstring strain and will miss "more than a few days" according to Joe Girardi. He might not need a DL stint, however. Three healthy outfielders with Eduardo Nunez as the backup won't cut it, the Yankees are going to have to abandon the 13-man pitching staff at some point.
3:19pm: The team says it's a tight left hamstring and Swisher will head for a precautionary MRI. Hopefully it's not a strain or anything and he won't miss more than a few days.
2:13pm: Nick Swisher was lifted from this afternoon's game with an apparent left hamstring injury. Replays showed him flexing his leg and grabbing at it following a swing then again on first base after drawing a walk. Andruw Jones replaced Swisher off the bench. Hopefully it's just a cramp. We'll update this post with more as it comes in.

Hellooooo Bobby Abreu.
Or Dewayne Wise.
Be interesting to see if Wise ever makes it up to the team. He has no options left, which means to keep Wise once the regulars like Gardner and Swish get healthy, they'd have to pass through waivers again. If some team claims him he's lost. Will the Yankees risk losing him for the sake of filling in for a five games? I don't think they will.
His best chance to make the team would be a signigicant injury (month plus) to one of the OFers.
Why would they even have a Wise-type player if they were not willing to use him just to fill a five game gap? These AAAA players are a dime a dozen.
I'd take Abreu at league minimum over Wise.
Unless I misunderstand how release works, admittedly I'm iffy on it. I unserstand the Angels are on the hook for $9M – league minimum, so is that what whoever picks him up pays?
Correct. The Angels now owe him the full $9M. A team that signs him will only pay him the pro-rated share of the league minimum. The Angels can subtract that amount (approximately $400K) from the $9M.
hoping its just a day to day thing, Wise has been good in AAA
Ugh, I guess this means we'll be seeing plenty more of Raul Ibanez in the OF. Brett and Nick need to hurry back.
Dewayne Wise come on down?
Sounds like the plan is duct-tape-and-vise-grips until Gardner comes off the DL.
So are the Yankees going to roll with 3 OF's so Girardi can keep an 8 man bullpen?
I assume when Gardner comes back (Thurs?)they cut down the staff (either DFA Garcia or send Mitchell down if Phelps starts); but are they going to go the next 3-4 days with Nunez as the primary backup for 5 position players and just 2 bench players?
It's Stewart and either Nunez or Chavez (whoever is not DH'ing or playing in the field with the rotating DH) right now.
Perhaps find some weakness in Garcia's shoulder, DL him, and bring up an OF?
This all seems pretty temporary though. We can survive with the Defensive Outfield of Doom (TM) until Gardner is back by the end of the week.
Damn…somehow this always happens before they come to KC. I really don't want to see that OF in the spacious OF of Kauffman Stadium. I get Phelps and Hughes and probably no Swisher/Gardner. I was really hoping to see CC/Kuroda/Pineda/Pettitte for the 4 games when I heard Pettitte had a chance to be back by the start of May.
By the way, what about Dickerson?
Dickerson isn't on the 40 man anymore. I doubt they make a 40 man move if Swisher won't require a DL stint. More likely they use what the have on the 40 man. Or sign Abreu. It was surprising that Dickerson passed throw waivers the first time, I don't think they'll add him to the 40 man just to try that again.
Swish is always injured.
They never put him on the DL. He'll come back in a few days then get taken out running out a ground ball. Just watch.
DL Swisher, release Freddie, forget Abreu and bring up someone with speed and a good glove. I'd rather see good D then another old man hitting, this team should be able to carry a weak hitting outfielder for a week or two. (I say should because right now A-roid and Tex $uck)
So, now what? They already called up Mitchell and they ain't sending him back just yet, so? I can't see how at this point, they don't release Freddy tomorrow or Tuesday. Right? DL him maybe? The results sure as hell show something is wrong, so I don't expect MLB to come barking about a 15 DL stop for Freddy.
This is an interesting move for the Yanks at this moment. Perhaps they are that confident that Gardner will be back this week? But still Ibanez and Jones for a few days is risky.
Hamstrings are fickle. I'll be surprised if he doesn't end up on the DL eventually.
Meanwhile, Mo can play the outfield.

|From the HSLDA E-lert Service:
Home School Legal Defense Association
New York--Only a Few Days Left--Call Now to Pass Homeschool Freedom Bill!
From the HSLDA E-lert Service...
June 15, 2004
New York--Only a Few Days Left--Call Now to Pass Homeschool Freedom
Since we only have a few legislative days left we are resending this
e-lert to urge you to continue to call for passage of Assembly Bill
Dear HSLDA members and friends:
We are entering the final weeks of legislative activity in New York
State and still have a chance to pass the Homeschool Freedom bill.
We need your calls now and throughout the rest of this month to pass
the Assembly version of the Homeschool Freedom bill.
The Senate version, Senate Bill 2060 has already passed the Senate
unanimously and is waiting for Assembly Bill 4598 to pass the
Assembly. The bill would then move to the governor's office for his
Over a thousand homeschoolers attended the LEAH rally in Albany and
lobbied the Assembly. Calls and letters have been steadily trickling
into the Assembly.
Now we need to build on this momentum by generating a "landslide" of
calls during the last few weeks of the session.
The Assembly Education Committee Chairman Steven Sanders and Assembly
Speaker Sheldon Silver are the two legislators who are holding up this
bill. They need to hear from you!
With your calls, and the combined calls of thousands of other
homeschooling families across the state, AB 4598 can be passed with
God's help.
Please call now and as often as you can over the next several weeks.
The Homeschool Freedom bill is needed to provide homeschooling
families in New York the freedom to devote more time to teaching their
children at home rather than spending it filling out unnecessary
paperwork. If passed, this legislation would eliminate over 75% of the
present restrictions governing home instruction programs in New York
and bring it more into line with the homeschool freedom experienced in
other states.
(1) Please contact both Assemblyman Steven Sanders, the Chairman of
the Assembly Education Committee, and Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver
and strongly urge them to support this bill. You can use the
following message:
"Please vote for Assembly Bill 4598 which will relieve public school
officials and homeschooling parents from burdensome and costly
administrative tasks. Home educators have earned the right to
regulatory relief after demonstrating their overwhelming success under
the current law for the past 15 years. This bill must be passed. We
need relief."
Steven Sanders - Assembly Education Committee Chairman
(518) 455-5506
Sheldon Silver - Assembly Speaker
(518) 455-3791
(2) Please call or write your own Assemblyman and give him or her the
same message:
You can find your Assemblyman's phone number either by calling the
Assembly Public Information Department: 518-455-4218 or by using
HSLDA's legislative toolbox at http://www.hslda.org/toolbox
(3) Please pray for the Legislature and for the Homeschool Freedom
bill. Pray that God would give us favor and grant homeschooling
families greater freedom in New York.
Assembly Bill 4598 would make the following changes in the current
- eliminate the requirement of an Individualized Home Instruction Plan
- eliminate the requirement of quarterly reports;
- eliminate required subjects at all grade levels;
- permit the alternative method of evaluation (instead of standardized
testing) every year;
- permit parents who wish to test their children to choose any
nationally-normed standardized achievement test, in addition to a
State Education Department test or another approved test;
- eliminate the requirement that the local superintendent consent to
the person who administers a standardized achievement test or who
conducts the alternative method of evaluation;
- lower the minimum standardized test score from above the 33rd
percentile to above the 23rd percentile; and
- eliminate the provision for home visits while a home instruction
program is on probation.
If this legislation is enacted into law, it will not only relieve
parents and public school officials of time-consuming administrative
tasks, it will significantly increase the freedom of home educators in
New York to direct the education of their children.

MU seeks matching funds for teaching winery
The University of Missouri has raised half of the $3 million it needs to build a teaching winery.
The Columbia Missourian reports that the university now is seeking matching money from the state for the facility. Plans calls for a research building and wine and food education facility to be added in later phases.
Wine and Grape Research Committee chair Tony Kooyumjian says the proposed teaching winery would be a commercial winery. It would replace a much smaller, experimental winery. The goal is for students to make and bottle more than 2,000 cases of wine yearly; the current facility produces 100 cases at most a year.
Kooyumjian says he hopes to break ground in spring 2015 with completion that fall.

Warrenville City Council on Monday passed a resolution asking the Naperville Community School District 203 to end an eight-year lawsuit against the city and four other taxing districts, including Wheaton Warrenville District 200, over Warrenville's Cantera Tax Increment Financing District (TIF).
Filed on March 16, 2005, the suit charges Warrenville, District 200 and park, library and fire protection districts with wrongly benefitting from the TIF monies, according to the Chigaco Tribune. Both sides of the suit have spent "hundreds of thousands" of dollars on the lawsuit, Warrenville officials said in a statement.
According to the Naperville Sun District 203 has spent $446,153 on the suit and the city of Warrenville has spent $133,203.
District 203 boundaries include a portion of the Cantera Development in Warrenville, which is primarily commercial with no residential properties. The district has received more than $9 million in new property tax revenue since 2009 and will continue to receive more than $3 million annually, according to the city of Warrenville.
"The Naperville school district's boundaries include a portion of the Cantera Development in Warrenville, which is primarily commercial with zero residential properties.
"...The Naperville School District experiences no expenses from the Warrenville properties, because no Warrenville children attend any of their schools. However, that school district continues to benefit financially from Warrenville's very successful Cantera TIF Development through increased property values and tax revenue."
Warrenville Mayor David Brummel said at the Jan. 21 meeting, "The most disappointing part is that the hundreds of thousands of dollars wasted on legal fees could have paid teachers' salaries or gone towards the education of children in District 203, and in Wheaton-Warrenville District 200, another defendant in the litigation."
