this week's FRONT PAGE (PDF)
rain, snow event forecast
Forecasts released December 16 by the National Weather
Service in Hanford are calling for periods of significant
rainfall throughout the region and heavy snows in
the nearby mountains. Starting today, the foothills
in and around Three Rivers can expect what forecasters
are calling a deluge over the next five days.
Forecasters are predicting from five to 10 inches
of rainfall throughout the period that will translate
to a similar amount in feet of snow for elevations
above 7,000 feet. Wind gusts of 100 mph are expected
on the crest of the High Sierra.
The Valley floor is bracing for one to three inches
of rainfall. In addition to the winter storm watch
that will remain in effect until mid-week, there is
a small stream advisory in effect for all areas as
flooding is imminent.
To help residents prepare for the incoming series
of storms, the Tulare County Office of Emergency Services
is identifying flood-prone areas for crew assignments
and making sandbags available at fire stations in
Three Rivers and Lemon Cove.
County officials are urging all residents to stay
inside during the heaviest downpours and carefully
consider the surroundings when approaching any flooded
area. In addition, unless one lives or works in the
nearby mountains, it would be best not to attempt
high-country travel until the storms dissipate.
Lake Kaweah has recently drained its storage pool
to the lowest levels of the current season in preparation
for what's predicted to be a huge increase in all
stream flows.
Rice, MD: 30 years in 3R
1: The formative
This is the first of a two-part series on the career
of AJ Rice, M.D., that commemorates an unprecedented
30 years of practicing medicine in Three Rivers.
In the past century , the doctors who have
had a practice in Three Rivers have been few and far
between Demaree, Ison, King, Rice, Molina. One of
these country doctors A. Joel AJ Rice, M.D.
stands out because December 2010 marks his 30th year
of practicing medicine in Three Rivers.
brand of medicine, which since 1982 has included homeopathy,
has employed both conventional and unconventional
treatments. Homeopathy is a form of alternative medicine
that treats a patient's symptoms with highly diluted
preparations. Homeopaths employ aspects of the patient's
physical and psychological states when recommending
these remedies.
And thanks to Family Healthcare Network, which came
along in 2001 and partnered with Dr. Rice, the good
doctor, now 67, is able to continue what he has been
doing for the past 30 years treating a growing legion
of patients who have always trusted AJ to do his very
best with their interests at heart.
AJ would be the first to admit that his medical career
and path to this place in his life has been a long,
strange but wonderful trip. Growing up in Pittsburgh
, Penn. , it wasn't a dream of his to even be a doctor.
one day, I saw a movie about a doctor in Europe who
was going from house to house treating his patients,
recalled AJ. I thought that was really cool and I
would like to do that.
The seed for doctoring was planted but not nurtured
was a jock and only a C student in high school when
I graduated in 1960, AJ admitted. But when I got
to college I was really turned on by the sciences
and my professors.
That early inspiration came at the University of Pittsburgh
, where the aspiring medical student earned a pharmacy
degree. The years 1964 to 1971 were spent enrolled
at the University of Iowa earning a medical degree
and a Ph.D. in medical education.
goal was to do academic research and be a college
professor who taught doctors, AJ said. I was interested
in how drugs react to different diseases and how the
body handles certain disease states.
After graduation from the Iowa programs, AJ headed
west where in the next few years he interned at Stanford
University Medical Center and then landed a fellowship
at UC San Francisco. AJ recalls the UC program as
heavy with highly competitive types who turned him
off from wanting a career in academia.
Ironically, one of AJ's advisors at UC San Francisco
was an expert in neuroendocrine tumors. In recent
years, AJ was diagnosed with one of these same carcinoid
cancers and continues today to battle his way back
to good health from this extremely rare disease that
his professor had devoted his research career to diagnosing
and finding treatments.
I was at UC, that's when I became a weekend warrior
and began taking 24-hour shifts as an emergency room
doctor at Kaweah Delta in Visalia , AJ said. I could
earn in one month of four shifts [about $1,500] what
the fellowship paid for an entire semester.
But what AJ really wanted was a break from the rigors
of academia and to go explore the world.
70s were in full swing and it seemed for all my life
I had been in school, said AJ. I wanted to go out
and explore life and find myself.
It wasn't long before AJ discovered the laid-back
lifestyle of Three Rivers. While he contemplated what
to do with his life he got married, fathered a daughter,
and lived in a teepee on the South Fork.
In 1977, the Visalia Times Delta got wind
of a story about a doctor who asked the phone company
for an installation at his teepee. The company complied
by providing the connection in an adjacent oak tree.
The article stated that Dr. Rice was living in the
teepee while working part time as a doctor in Visalia
. His days off were spent working with a neighbor
to build his Three Rivers home.
AJ fondly remembers those carefree, hippy days but
then his marriage ended and he noticed that his life
was not truly centered and lacked purpose.
was saving money and traveling the world, AJ recalled.
I became a vegetarian, I was riding my bike for 50
miles daily and, for a few years, it was a great lifestyle.
But what AJ realized was that his life lacked professional
goals. That's when he came up with the idea to start
his own medical practice.
that time [late-1970s], Dr. Harry Ison had his practice
and he was the family doctor for just about everyone
in Three Rivers, AJ said. I didn't really want to
compete with Harry. I wanted patients who wanted to
live an alternative lifestyle.

roadwork to
through 2012
Two phases of Generals Highway construction have now
become one so get used to timing your drives up the
mountain to arrive at the roadwork right when the
traffic is let through. This weekend and from December
24 through January 2, delays will be 20 minutes or
less as directed by the traffic signals.
The work zone is the width of a single lane
only, so the traffic controls are necessary. Impatient
drivers ignoring these traffic controls and prematurely
entering the construction zone will impede traffic
flow from the opposite direction and will be cited.

solstice, full moon, lunar eclipse coincide
The Three Wisemen once told the tale of an awesome
night sky. As the Gospel of Matthew goes, the magi
were inspired by a star in the east to travel to
Jerusalem . This brilliant Star of Bethlehem, they
said, signified the birth of Jesus.
Well, the night skies this December, more than 2,000
years later, have also been spectacular. The Geminids
earlier this week shot glowing hot rocks through the
sky at a rate of up to two or three at a time, as
seen by the naked eye.
On Tuesday, Dec. 21, the first day of winter, a rare
occurrence will take place in the night sky. It's
the millennium's first total lunar eclipse completely
visible from all of North America .
Although the winter solstice is something not seen,
it refers to the moment when Earth is tilted farthest
from the sun and when the Sun is at its southernmost
point in its year-long journey along the horizon.
While the solstice technically occurs
only for an instant, the day when it takes place is
the shortest of the year and the night the longest.
Occurring concomitantly during this longest night
of the year will be a total lunar eclipse visible
across North America . If this weren't enough, the
December 21 full moon known as the Long Night Moon
will be the highest in the sky until 2020.
What could ruin this experience for night-sky gazers
will be clouds, which are unfortunately in the forecast.
If there's a break in the clouds, Kaweah Country viewers
should begin to look to the skies around 10:15 p.m.
on Monday, Dec. 20, to see the eclipse.
At 10:33 p.m., the moon will begin to go into the
darker central shadow from the Earth, and for over
an hour from 11:41 p.m. to 12:53 a.m. on December
21 it will be completely eclipsed.
Two ingredients are necessary for a total lunar eclipse:
a full moon and a path passing through the Earth's
shadow. If these two occurrences happen at the same
time, the moon can glow any color from red to turquoise
for one to three hours as it passes through.
The Earth casts a shadow just as buildings or people
do, but Earth's shadow is more brilliant it's red.
Human shadows are mundane as they lack an atmosphere.
The Earth, however, has a spectacular atmosphere that
changes day to day. This makes every lunar eclipse
different in terms of color.
The reason the moon is orange during an eclipse is
the same as the reason the sky is blue. When sunlight
goes through Earth's atmosphere, blue light bounces
around more and doesn't escape, making the sky blue.
Oranges , yellows, and reds, however, continue on
and reflect off the moon.
A partial lunar eclipse occurred this year on June
26, but was not visible from North America . The next
total lunar eclipse visible from this continent will
occur December 10, 2011 .
Lunar eclipses are one of the easiest sky-watching
activities to view without aids. Viewers need only
to step outside and look up.

Where can some of the world's finest Kona coffee be
found? In Three Rivers, of course.
Gregory Thompson is owner of Orville Studley's brand
products. He has recently returned home from Hawaii
's Big
second-place laurels from the 11th annual Keauhou
Resort Kona Coffee Label Competition.
No small feat for a haole, or non-islander,
but with a label designed by Bill Crenshaw of Sutter
Creek Advertising, Orville Studley's won handily.
The competition took place during Hawaii
's Kona
Coffee Cultural Festival, a 12-day celebration of
the history and heritage of Kona coffee held annually
since 1970.
Locals and visitors alike have become familiar with
Orville Studley's fine jerky products, offered at
the Jerky This! stand, located at 42362 Sierra Drive
(across from Reimer's Candies).
started Jerky This! in 1999, then by 2003 had developed
my own brand of jerky, said Greg. People have responded
well to Studley's jerky, so now it's time to branch
out into other areas.
Greg's plan for the future is to seek out other high
quality Hawaiian coffee beans, perhaps to offer a
Five Island Blend, a variety pack of five different
beans that the consumer may blend to suit individual
Presently, Orville Studley's Coffee is available at
Jerky This! and Antoinette's Coffee and Goodies in
Three Rivers. Antoinette's will be offering free samples
of Greg's Kona coffee this Saturday.
Another way to acquire the award-winning coffee is
through an innovative partnership Greg has forged
with the Future Farmers of America. Just as the Girl
Scouts sell cookies, FFA students now sell Orville
Studley's Coffee to raise funds for their cause.
American coffee consumers can support American
farmers and American education while stimulating the
U.S. economy one cup of paradise at a time, he said.
Just to make it easier, the Orville Studley's website
allows purchasers to give credit to an FFA
of their choice via the Credit a Chapter page.
So if you're in the mood for some first-rate Kona
coffee, pop on over to Antoinette's or visit www.orvillestudleys.com
to purchase. What a great gift idea!

musicians play in Macy's Parade
Analisa Skeen
On Saturday, Nov. 20, three Woodlake
students boarded a plane to New
York City .
They were among 250 Macy's Great American Marching
Band members currently flocking to New
York from
across the nation.
Representing Woodlake on this prestigious occasion
to march in the 84th annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day
Parade were Luke Savage, Daniel Cabrera, and me. We
were nominated to apply to the Macy's Band by Woodlake
High School band director Bethanie Hansen.
That night in New
York ,
we met our roommates and were fitted for uniforms.
The blazing red and white uniforms sparked pride and
excitement throughout the company.
The next day, we spent touring the city, remembering
the past at the Ground
and exploring
lower Manhattan
the evening, we unwrapped brand new, sparkling instruments.
When we were lined up by section in preparation of
our first rehearsal Luke and Daniel among the 26
trumpets and me among the 12 mellophones we were
introduced to our director, Dr. Richard Good.
I cannot describe the exhilaration of being a part
of a band that massive and talented. Our first notes
resounded clear and full. A moment of astonished silence
The next three days were a blur of nine-hour practices
intermingled with experiencing the city life of New
York .
By parade day we were ready to put on the performance
of a lifetime.
Thanksgiving Day started at 2
a.m. when
five busloads of band members arrived at the dress
rehearsal in Herald's Square in below freezing temperatures.
After rehearsal and a sleepy breakfast at the Hard
Rock Café, all 250 of us were lined up and
waiting for the parade to begin.
The three-mile march seemed to take 10 minutes and
soon we were leading Santa Claus into Herald's Square
for the televised part of the performance. Our energetic
performance was unlike any that I will ever again
experience, and I will always cherish the memory of
those ecstatic moments.

fairs, festivals and more
Jana Botkin
One of the most visible ways of selling art in a place
like Tulare County is the ubiquitous arts-and-crafts
fair. There was a time when these were rare events,
and one of the best was and still is Three Rivers's
own Redbud Festival.
As a little girl living among the oranges of Ivanhoe,
this event seemed like a great big deal. The Redbud
had an aura of specialness around it as my great Aunt
Mary Barnett would tell us about her weaving or the
Tibetan boys who sold the exquisite rugs of their
native country to support themselves through COS .
A show takes a tremendous amount of work for the producers
as well as the vendors. One needs a sense of the show:
it organized, publicized, and well-attended? Does
one's work fit? Is there too much similar work already
at the show? Will it be worth the work, travel time,
and expenses?
As with much of the business of art, a crystal ball
would be a great asset. The vendors must decide what
to take, then gather, package, price, and load it.
In addition to the merchandise, there are all the
display items. Once it is all transported to the site,
it must be unloaded and carried to a 10-by-10-foot
square where it gets arranged into a beautiful albeit
temporary show space. There are little details to
be worked out with neighboring vendors, making sure
that displays don't cause tripping hazards or sometimes
sharing the backs of screens for others to use.
But wait, there's more! After all that, the artist
gets to talk and smile and listen to many visitors
all day. Everyone wants to tell about their aunt's
next-door neighbor's kid who loves to draw muscle
men and race cars, or a daughter who needs to do
something with her art.
There is a fine line between listening enough to be
polite and getting trapped while other potential customers
are lost. The vendor can't lose sight of the fact
that she is paying for a temporary store to sell her
work, not running a How-To-Be-An-Artist clinic.
One of the most awkward parts of these shows is the
way they end. Almost every show contract requires
a signature agreeing to stay until the advertised
ending time. And almost every show's traffic vanishes
about an hour before the end.
Unfailingly, there are vendors who pack before the
show ends. Often I have found that by staying until
the final moments, there are last-minute buyers who
are grateful to find exhibitors still in place.
When the vendors are about to croak from exhaustion,
it is time to box it all up and haul it back to the
car. Often it feels as if I am taking more home than
I brought, probably because packing onsite is much
more rushed than packing in the studio. At times,
I've relied on photos of how it was all placed in
the trunk of my car so that I can fit it all back
Craft shows are about much more than just selling
art. Marketing, exposure, future sales, credibility,
visibility, and connecting with the public are less
tangible aspects but just as important. In addition,
participating in shows right here in Three Rivers
is a huge social occasion for the producers, vendors,
and visitors.
Jana Botkin, owner of Cabinart in Three Rivers, packed
and unpacked her paintings several times this season
as she participated in the Senior League Holiday Bazaar,
Perfect Gift Boutique, and Stocking Stuffer Boutique
over three consecutive weekends. She will also be
at the Redbud Festival in May.

Marcia Sweet of Woodlake died Thursday, Dec. 9, 2010
, at Kaweah Delta Hospital. She was 73.
A memorial service will be held tomorrow (Saturday,
Dec. 18) at 10 a.m. at St. Aloysius Catholic Church,
125 E. Pleasant Ave. , Tulare . Interment will be
Marcia was born July 26, 1937, in Bakersfield to Ellery
and Florence (Skip) Mulock. Marcia moved to Tulare
at the age of five and was a 1955 graduate of Tulare
Union High School.
With a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music from Washington
State University and graduate study at California
State University, Fresno, she went on to receive her
Master of Arts degree in Education from Fresno Pacific
Her early career of teaching music included local
schools Sundale, Oak Valley, and Buena Vista . She
was proud to be director of the Tulare Western High
School Band from 1981 to 1984.
She directed at La Sierra Summer Music Camp in 1984,
was guest conductor for the Tulare-Kings Music Educators
Association Honor Band in 1985, and the Tulare County
Elementary-Junior High Honor Band in 1985.
In addition to teaching music, Marcia counseled students
for future employment opportunities and education.
She also taught Career Education, was a multi-subject
teacher for TAPP (Teenage Parent Program), and was
an independent study instructor through the Tulare
County Department of Education.
Her latest career ambitions were fulfilled as she
taught independent study at Sierra Vista High School
and was a music teacher at Three Rivers Union School,
Tipton Elementary School, and St. Aloysius Parochial
School ( Tulare ), where she also co-founded the Summer
Music School.
Marcia left this life peacefully, which was so unlike
the busy life she lived. She had an insatiable passion
to instill the love of music in every child she met.
Marcia was always racing to teach her kids, driving
too fast and with music way too loud. It was never
just a class to her, those were her kids, and she
loved every one of them.
In her words, Every one of those students is an individual,
every one of them has something different to contribute,
and when all of them are put together, they're a symphony.
Marcia is survived by her son, Louis J. Sweet, and
wife Lori; daughter Stacy Castro and husband Randy;
and her four cherished grandchildren, Cain, Chad,
Mackenzie, and Regan; brother Ellery Mulock and wife
Anna; two nieces; and one nephew.
At Three Rivers School 's Holiday Band Concert on
the evening of Tuesday, Dec. 14, the band dedicated
a song to the school's former band instructor. Current
band teacher Athena Saenz is a former student of Marcia's
from Tulare, and some of the older students in the
TRUS band remembered Marcia as being the reason they
initially became interested in playing an instrument.
The family will be honored by any remembrances made
to the donor's favorite charity or organization.

A few weeks ago I attended a 90th birthday party for my dad's cousin in Seattle. I was elated to hear a spirited discussion by the octogenarians about the "absolute insanity of not providing healthcare as a basic right."
"But aren't shelter, food and education also basic rights?" offered one.
"Well, yes, but, oh, dear, would that be considered socialism?" asked with a wry smile.
"Actually, yes, but many developed—and undeveloped—countries believe these to be basic rights."
As one 14-year-old exchange student from Spain told me, "Oh, yes, unemployment is horrible in my country; more than 50 percent for young people."
But, he went on to explain, "They are not afraid of becoming homeless—there is a safety net; you don't automatically lose healthcare and the house."
My Mission
I wanted to find out where those in South Pas went when they ran into economic problems. Do their kids leave school?
—that many women might have of homelessness or living alone in poverty at an old age—is a harsh and real possibility for many, with the deepest recession since the Great Depression. I thank the South Pas readers for pointing this out!
Without a safety net, most of the " 99 percent" are only a medical emergency, lost job, divorce or other emergency away from one of the growing number of people living beneath the poverty line or homeless.
After interviewing some public officials (school supervisor, police chief, principals and one formerly homeless man who grew up in a third-generation South Pasadena family), I learned a bit more about homelessness and homeless policy.
Different Degrees
There are degrees of homelessness. Some in South Pas may be facing one of the "degrees" of homelessness without being found on the streets or in the parks.
Even more people are on the homelessness continuum: on the verge of losing their homes, or living with friends or family, or living in their cars.
When my son at age 13 heard about homeless children living in downtown L.A.—who had to stumble over addicts and people sleeping on the street—he asked: "They don't even have a car to sleep in?"
He was impressed that they still made it to school when he wasn't always so enthusiastic himself, even with all his advantages.
Around Town
More homeless live outdoors in South Pasadena than I knew. The Homeless Counting Project provides yearly statistics on homelessness in the area, with the latest count coming out in April. I was not able to get specific statistics for South Pasadena, but here are a few comments gathered from local resources:
"It is not against the law to be homeless unless there is another violation of law," Chief Joe Payne told me. "Panhandling is not against the law, unless blocking the entrance to a business."
Chief Payne told us that, though the park is closed to homeless between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., many are camped out along the Arroyo.
The police will post notices before they come through and do a "clean up" sweep and then they will usually move. But, he insisted: "We don't take our homeless problem and ship it off."
There are not a lot of resources in South Pasadena "other than the kind-hearted person," Chief Payne told me, with the exception of Holy Family's programs.
At School
"A homeless family is entitled to register at any school. Whether the family arrives homeless or becomes homeless, the school district is required to by law to enroll the students," said School Superintendent Joel Shapiro.
Other school officials agreed that the school might be the first line of awareness and intervention when a family with children becomes—or is about to become—homeless.
SPUSD does not offer any specific services for the homeless, but when they become aware of homelessness, they try to offer referrals that are primarily in Pasadena. The district offers assistance in the form of more flexibility with students who may have issues such as not having a safe place to do homework.
PUSD has special program serving homeless families, Families in Transition. According to Socorro Rocha, who works with Families in Transition at PUSD, every school district in San Gabriel has a program like this, except for La Canada and South Pasadena.
Rocha told me that they work with students and families to make sure they have whatever they need: school supplies, clothing, immunizations, proper identification (birth certificates, et al.), and transportation to school. ( To help/donate, click HERE.)
Asking for Help
School nurses, counselors, teachers, police, short-term hotels, churches and synagogues are often on the front lines when it comes to noticing families about to become homeless and offering intervention.
Many people are too embarrassed to ask for help when programs such as Families in Transitions exist in the schools; temporary housing/hotels will often call the program to tell them about a family who needs help.
To really find out about The Affordable Housing Crisis in Pasadena and its impact on homelessness in the greater Pasadena community, come to the expert panel and discussion at 7 p.m. Wednesday (tonight!) at the Pasadena Jewish Temple and Center (PJTC).
See this Pasadena Weekly story on creative ways to provide affordable housing for families, seniors and low-income residents.

The homeowner told deputies he heard loud crashes early Wednesday morning but was able to put the fire out himself.
A 20-year-old Stillwater woman, a 15-year-old passenger in her vehicle and a 46-year-old St. Paul man are all in "critical condition" after a head-on crash on Highway 5 in Lake Elmo Tuesday night.
A 30-year-old man reportedly shot himself in the leg in the midst of a domestic situation Thursday in the 1600 block of Greeley Street. A witness told police the man shot himself "because he was probably upset and on drugs at the time."

The muffins were excellent. I made alot of revisions to the original recipe, basically using it as a base. Because of some of the other reviews, I used 3/4 C of Sugar and also added 1/4 of Brown Sugar. The muffins were sweet, but we love them that way. Also, I had no applesauce and was about 1/4 cup short on Sour Cream, so I used a whole cup of Peach Yogurt to substitute the additional 1/4 cup os SC and the applesauce. It didn't make the muffins taste at all peachy. After mixing, I thought the mix was a bit thick, so I added about 1/4 - 1/3 cup of the juice from the bowl my mulberrys were in. I think this added alot of extra flaroful. I also added 1tsp of nutmeg and 1 tsp of cinnamon. Because with all of these revisions, the muffins were super moist, a bit on the dense side, and had a great Mulberry flavor. I made 24 muffins at 2pm, and the next day we only had 3 left. The family loved them.
these were pretty darn yummy. Next time I think i'll add more berries... or chop mine up first - mine were pretty big so there was only a couple of berries per regular sized muffin. btw - it makes 10 regular sized muffins - at 3 ww pt a piece - but if you substitue splenda for sugar it comes out to 2 :-D
Great recipe! Simple, fast, delicious and low fat! I made them in small muffin trays and they make about 24 muffins. You can freeze them and they microwave well or can be heated in a toaster oven. Thanks for this great recipe, Kristen - just what I needed for a mulberry tree bearing too much fruit. Muli.

A Holiday man was charged with careless driving after he rear-ended a car on U.S. 19 in Palm Harbor, sending it into oncoming traffic and causing a head-on collision, according to authorities.
Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) investigators say the crash happened around 5:16 p.m. Thursday afternoon near Rita Lane. Justin Przytulski, 20, was driving a 1991 Toyota pickup truck northbound on U.S. 19 and rear-ended a 2002 Toyota Camry driven by Holly Williams, 31, of Tarpon Springs. The crash report says Williams had slowed down because traffic ahead of her had stopped.
Investigators say the impact of the crash sent Williams' car into southbound traffic on U.S. 19.
Her car was hit head-on by a 2008 Chevy van driving in the southbound direction. Michael Miller, 40, of Port Richey was driving the van.
The impact of the head-on collision caused Miller's van to hit the side of a 1998 Nissan truck in a southbound lane. The truck was driven by Shelton Williams, 38, of Seminole.
Traffic was halted on U.S. 19, so a Bayflite medical helicopter could land and pick up Holly Williams, who suffered serious injuries in the crash, according to FHP. Her condition was later upgraded to stable.
Micheal Miller and passenger Rusty Miller suffered minor injuries and were transported to Florida Hospital in Tarpon Springs.
Florida Highway Patrol investigators gave the following damage estimates-
- 1991 Toyota truck driven by Justin Przytuski: $3,000 damage
- 2002 Toyota Camry driven by Holly Williams: $8,000 damage
- 2008 Chevy van driven by Michael Miller: $6,000 damage
- 1998 Nissan truck driven by Shelton Williams: $4,000 damage
Thanks to Palm Harbor Patch reader Rick Bennett for submitting photos of the crash scene.

This is to inform you that the address mentioned in my pan card is 43 B Narendra Vihar Extension, Kaulagarh Road(Rajendra Nagar),Dehradun. But in the form no. 16 A of TDS it shows the address to be E 50, Sector 39, Noida, GB Nagar-201002, Uttar Pradesh.

Now that's just dang funny
From an upcoming Letters to the Editor: Those that were suckered into believing the UAW was what was wrong with the automotive industry may have only been overdosing on Fox News, Rush or Neal. Instead of these three as it is now turning out, folks really could have gotten more conventional wisdom from Larry, Moe or Curly.
Except, you know, that it is the UAW that is responsible for the downfall of the American auto industry. In just a few short years, there will be no American auto industry to speak of, and I don't think that's dang funny at all.
How could that be? UAW workers build the cars and send them out the door. They don't design, engineer, market or finance them. They didn't have a place at the table when fuel-hungry SUVs came onto the scene or when in the 1970s the auto industry was producing heavy, high horsepower cars so big you could haul a sofa in the trunk (I did).
Don't believe the fabled $72 an hour wage that has been claimed, either. You can get that figure if you tally up everything pertaining to the workforce, including the earnings of people on retirement, even the expense of having toilets for the workers to use and then dividing that by the number of workers. That is what I like to call Limbaugh math. Actual wages have been shown to average around $28 an hour, which includes workers from entry level to journeyman machinists, compared to around $25 for non-union producers like Toyota USA. You can be sure that if the UAW went away, the Toyotas, BMWs, Mercedeses, and Nissans would begin to ramp down wages and benefits.
One of the greatest drains on all American manufacturers , and businesses in general, is the cost of providing healthcare financing for their employees, an area that no company should be involved with whatsoever.
Much of what is going on now and has been since the onset of the Reagan plague is disturbingly reminiscent of the travesties that were perpetrated on numerous countries in South America in the 1970s and 1980s. That includes the push to privatize everything that moves and everything that doesn't, to get rid of public education, to subvert broadcast and print media, to mock intellectuals and higher education, to promote religion as a tool of power, and so on.
Read Naomi Klein's book, The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism, and perhaps visit her website for videos and samples from her writings. You will never think of Milton Friedman in the same light again.
Here is an excerpt from the Introduction:

An allegedly speeding motorcyclist who reportedly led the CHP on a chase Saturday was shot and killed by an officer following a crash, a Ventura County sheriff's sergeant said.
The shooting occurred about 2:20 p.m. on Padre Juan Canyon Road, according to sheriff's Sgt. Cary Peterson.
Officers tried to stop the rider on the southbound Pacific Coast Highway, north of Faria Beach, but the motorcyclist refused to yield, the sergeant said.
The chase led officers to Padre Juan, where the bike left the road and crashed.
The shooting occurred after that, but it was unclear what exactly led to the shooting, the sergeant.
No officers were injured and sheriff's homicide investigators were probing the event.

Why do radars sometimes show a cluster of 'rain' near them, when the rest of the area is clear...and no rain is really falling?
It's what we call 'clutter.' Keep in mind the geometry of the radar beam. It exits the radar antenna at an angle. The farther the beam moves from the radar, the higher it is above the ground. You can see this effect by holding a flashlight on a table in a dark room, turning it on and propping the front end up on a thin book. The beam encounters more 'stuff' at lower elevations...'stuff' like bugs, birds, pollutants, etc. Even a temperature inversion can cause 'false' echoes. We can filter some of those 'false echoes', but if we set the filter threshold too high, we risk missing some genuine precipitation. It also hinders our ability to discern wind speed and direction with the doppler mode of radar.

NORMAN — Focus on what you can do, not what you can't do is this decade's mantra for persons with disabilities. With that in mind, the disABILITY Coalition was formed in Norman.
The disABILITY Coalition unites a group of professionals to work together to promote accessibility and to support Progressive Independence and other area agencies that work with people with disabilities. With independence as the goal, the coalition has been reaching out to the community through a number of efforts. Next up is a Community Engagement meeting from 8:30 to 10 a.m. on Nov. 1 at Norman Regional Hospital Education Center, 901 N. Porter Ave.
"We're going to try to let the community know that we have this coalition and that we are advocating for persons with disabilities," said Renee O'Leary of United Way.
Guest speakers include Mayor Cindy Rosenthal, Sen. John Sparks, D-Norman, Norman Public Works Director Shawn O'Leary and city activists Wanda Felty and Kay Ham.
Rosenthal will speak on the city's efforts toward inclusion and diversity.
"This definitely builds on what the Human Rights Commission has been trying to do on inclusion and building an inclusive community," Rosenthal said. "The Human Right Commission is part of the coalition."
Renee O'Leary will provide information about the coalition, and Sparks will give legislative updates related to disability issues. Shawn O'Leary will talk about building accessibility into the city and will give an update on infrastructure projects on Norman's horizon.
Felty, who is the Community Leadership and Advocacy Coordinator for the Center for Learning and Leadership with the OU Health Science Center, will discuss family perspectives and will give a wait list update.
"We are trying to bring awareness of the needs for persons with disabilities," Renee O'Leary said. "For a person to quality for DDSD (Development Disabilities Services Division) they have to meet an institutional level of care. These services provided supports to live in the community."

Out of the western conference teams that have a realistic shot at making the finals this year (Spurs, Lakers, Mavericks, Suns, Hornets, maybe utah) who would you want to see the cavs face off against? As a cavs fan i would love to play the Mavericks because i see them as being extremely soft, and i think we would have a great chance at beating them with how physical our frontcourt is. Hoowever, as a Lebron fan i would like to see us play the lakers in order to show everyone who the best player in the league truly is, and to be able to shut the media up once and for all. It would be great to see Kobe lying on the ground crying while lebron is giving autographs in Staples center.

Beginning Jan. 1, 2014, the individual mandate of the Affordable Care Act (health care reform) goes into effect. This means that individuals who do not have Minimal Essential Coverage (MEC) through an employer, private or public exchange or public program must be offered the new Essential Health Benefit packages (EHBP). Employers of fewer than 50 employees do not have to offer medical or dental benefits. But those that choose to provide benefits will be required to have MEC, unless their medical plan is grandfathered. View full article »

A Thursday morning fire in Riverhead gutted a single-family residence -- and sparked an investigation regarding an allegedly stolen fuel truck parked outside, police said.
According to Riverhead Fire Department Second Assistant Chief Kevin Brooks, a fire broke out at approximately 7:20 Thursday morning in a home located at 79 Phillips Street, in the Millbrook Gables community, off East Main Street.
The fire, Brooks said, is currently under police investigation; the home, which was unoccupied at the time of the blaze, is a one-story ranch, he added.
Riverhead Town police said the investigation is not focused on arson.
According to police, an allegedly stolen fuel truck was found in the driveway of the burning home. Suffolk County Police Seventh Squad Detectives, Riverhead police said, are investigating the missing fuel truck.
Riverhead police received two calls, one in reference to the fire and the other, to the missing fuel truck, which was spotted at the location.
Police said they believe fuel from the truck parked in the driveway was being placed into the residence; the fuel allegedly ignited and started the blaze, which began in the basement.
The home, which was gutted, Brooks, said, is still standing. "I was the first chief on the scene and a picture window was blowing out when I got there -- and I got there quickly. The home is absolutely uninhabitable," he said.
The fire, he added, was difficult to fight -- firefighters were on the scene for approximately two hours -- due to "extremely high heat in the basement," with "heavy fire load" at that location in the house. "It was extremely hot in the basement so it was hard to advance on the fire," he said.
Both the Riverhead Police Department and the Riverhead Fire Marshal are investigating the fire, Brooks added.

Utilities: Be prepared in case of power interruptions
By Alex Bridges -- email@example.com
WINCHESTER -- Residents and businesses should prepare for power outages but utility spokespeople say losses still happen without warning.
Representatives with the two electric cooperatives covering the Northern Shenandoah Valley gave presentations to members of the Local Emergency Planning Committee at its meeting Wednesday. The committee includes residents and representatives from Winchester and Frederick County fire and rescue agencies, industries and media outlets.
LEPC Chairman Timothy Ray, who works for O'Sullivan Films in Winchester, said after the meeting he felt pleased with the presentations given by the representatives of the utilities. As Ray explained, industries may have plans in place for power outages but the question remains how prepared are the businesses which offer certain necessities, such as pharmacies and grocery stores. The LEPC recently formed a subcommittee to design a preparedness survey, which it then would distribute to these kinds of businesses, Ray said.
Utilities have plans in place to prepare for possible outages and then work to restore electricity when it does go dark.
John Coffey, vice president of engineering and operations with the Shenandoah Valley Electric Cooperative, spoke about the utility's response to outages as well as protocols in place to restore power to its thousands of customers throughout the region. Weather can vary widely in the SVEC's area, from south of Staunton to the West Virginia state line in Frederick County, Coffey noted.
Ann M. Lewis, director of communications and public relations for the Rappahannock Electric Cooperative, presented similar information for the utility that provides power to another large section of the Northern Shenandoah Valley and to the east.
Some discussion came up about communication with utilities during the fluke snowstorm that swept through the region in late October and caused widespread power outages.
Cullers noted his agency also received updates when work at an SVEC substation cause a power outage in the city a few weeks ago.
Both utilities try to communicate with customers and the communities in the days and hours leading up to a major storm or other event which may affect power, the cooperatives' representatives said. Utilities use various methods to alert customers ahead of time and during a storm. The utilities also offer unlisted numbers to emergency responders which allows fire, rescue and other agencies to bypass call centers in the event of a major outage.
As Coffey explained, the SVEC can organize crews ahead of time, put workers up in hotels in areas they think may need the most assistance.
"In our case we hope we never have to use those crews that we gather together for emergency response and a restoration effort but we put them in place just because we know experience tells us that the outages will happen, and weather will turn in a way that causes you to have to recover," Coffey said.
The best advice, according to both the utilities' representatives and fire officials at the meeting: Be prepared.
SVEC plans to allow customers in the near future to report outages directly from a smartphone and on the utility's website, Coffey said.
REC customers can report power outages on the utility's website, Lewis explained.
1 Comment | Leave a comment
I had more outage hours in the first six months as a REC customer than I did in the previous decade with Allegheny- and that includes Allegheny fixing a blown transformer that only served me, and a car taking out a power pole just up the road.
I read this as: REC isn't capable of providing reliable power.

An urban beach, or city beach and sometimes beach club, is defined by urban planners as an artificially created environment in an urban setting that simulates a public beachfront through the use of sand, umbrellas and seating elements. It does not include swimming or any sort of natural sloping shoreline into the water (i.e. it is not a natural beach that happens to be in an urban area). The very point of the urban beach is to surprise and delight city residents, workers and tourists by inserting a beach atmosphere into an urban area that would otherwise be typical cityscape.
There are many variations of urban beaches. Urban beaches are often found along waterways, though some are inserted into town squares or other spaces far from water. The beach may be a seasonal installation over a roadway or parking lot, or it may be permanent. It is not necessarily public land though it is always open to the general public (sometimes with a small admission fee). As river or ocean swimming is not possible, many urban beaches include water features -- for example fountains, wading pools or misting towers -- for cooling off. Some urban beaches feature entertainment and food/beverage areas. A few include sports facilities such as beach volleyball.
Most urban beaches are designed to appeal to a general population, from families to young singles to older citizens. Despite the absence of swimming, swimwear is commonly seen alongside the more usual attire seen in major urban centres.
The popularity of urban beaches has increased in the early 21st century as the concept has been championed by urban planners, landscape architects and local politicians.

"Everyone was clicking on all cylinders today," head coach Jimmy Borendame said. "I thought top to bottom we competed very well and I really think this team has found its groove."
The four-match winning streak equals the longest since last season, with three of the four victories coming in the Sun Belt Championships in 2011. It is also the longest regular-season streak since the 2009 season when MT (12-6) won six in a row before heading into postseason play where the Blue Raiders won three more for a nine-match winning streak.
Marlon Brand and Yannick Born set the tone early with a convincing 8-1 win in the No. 1 doubles spot, then Matthew Langley and Ettore Zito claimed an 8-3 victory out of the three-hole. Ben Davis teamed with Cameron Dickerson for the first time this year and the duo pulled out an 8-7 triumph to complete the doubles sweep.
Forrest Edwards won by retirement to make it a 2-0 MT lead, and Dimitri Pippos' 6-2, 6-3 win stretched it to a three-point cushion over the Bisons (5-7). Matthew Langley sealed the Blue Raider victory with a 6-2, 6-3 win. Ben Davis and Yannick Born also won in straight sets, while Ettore Zito took the victory in the super tiebreaker.
The Blue Raiders hit the road for the next two matches, traveling to Southern Miss Friday and Tulane Saturday. Both matches start at 1 p.m.
