Judith A. Leavitt, The Healthiest City: Milwaukee and the Politics of Health Reform (Princeton, 1982) is a very good monograph. Also, Barbara Rosenkrantz, Public Health and the State, is excellent, on Massachusetts.

Try contacting the Udall Center for Studies in Public Policy at the University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721 / 520-621-7189 / e-mail at email@example.com (Helen Ingram). One of several major efforts they've been involved in over the past few years are border environmental issues and I think a little environmental justice too. They would probably be able to make some suggestions for your student.
By the way, they have a visiting fellows program that you can apply for. Fellows get a nice office in a revamped one-story apartment complex with some technical and clerical support and access to a great research library. Their emphasis is environmental policy, borderlands issues, and other public policy concerns of the Udalls.

I'm working with a student, Victoria Elenas, who is examining environmental
health issues among Latina women along the Mexican/American border. I
encouraged her to do some reading in the environmental history of public
health and epidemiology. Does anyone have any suggestions for good
background reading in this topic? Or any suggestions that look
specifically at the role of health professionals and the community in this
region? Thanks--

Re Latinas and public health along the border, a couple of suggestions:
--Vicki Ruiz and Susan Tiano's edited volume on maquiladora workers --Mary Pardo's 'Mothers of East L.A.' in _Frontiers_
More generally, for thinking about public health and environment, see Suellen Hoy, _Chasing Dirt: The American Pursuit of Cleanliness_ (NY: Oxford, 1995).

This isn't so much dealing with public health and epidemiology, but if Victoria is interested in health issues concerning Latina women she may want to contact Dr. Marion Moses most recently at the Pesticide Education Center in San Francisco, CA. Dr. Moses was the long-time Director of the National Farm Workers Health Group and worked closely with the UFW on their efforts to restrict the use of chemical pesticides over the last three decades. In that capacity, Dr. Moses has written numerous articles detailing the effects of long-term exposure to chemical pesticides. I'm not sure if this is relevant to Victoria's research, but hopefully it is. Feel free to contact me for more info.

Another personal contact that I believe would be valuable in this discussion is Lynne Snyder at the U.S. Public Health Service History Office. Lynne will have a handle on whether or not there is a cache of documents somewhere in D.C. that will illuminate the issue.
The PHS History Office telephone number is (301) 443-5363. She can be reached via e-mail email@example.com.

I use Hoy's chapter in the pollution collection as a good way to get students in both environmental surveys and US surveys to rethink the city as an environment reshaped by women's political action. It balances out the Chadwick/cholera/safe water supply/rise of the municipal engineer approach to the industrial city. For images of conditions, try S.J. kleinberg's The Shadow of the Mills, which is a study of Pittsburgh. It is not a public health history, but the photographs show extreme conditions in an industrial town. Jacob Riis might be the way to go for a more metropolitan setting (also an extreme).
For non-North american, try Daniel Headrick's The Tentacles of Progress: Technology Transfer in the Age of Imperialism, 1850-1940. OUP 1988. Chapter 5, Cities, Sanitation and Segregation, [also: Chapter 6 Hydraulic Imperialism in india and Egypt (I have been looking for a good reading on this to put with Worster and a study of Morocco), & more on mining, botany & plantations.] There is some other stuff out there on race and health in colonial singapore and race, public health & infant mortality in Gibraltar, etc. A canadian study is Bilson's The darkened House, on 19th century cholera, immigration, and the establishment of health boards. Hospitals refuse to admit victims.

One Response to "Tags on clothing"
I am in need of a device that attaches the tags on new clothes. You know, the plastic strips that usually attach the price tag to an outfit or some type of apparel that usually you rip off after buying. I don't know what it's called though.

This property is fun and exciting.
If you are in the mood for some marine experiences this facility has aquariums, beaches , and many wonderful aquatic experiences. If you want to slow down and keep cool there are many architectural details to keep you looking up and down.If it's excitement then there is the casino. This casino was the nicest I experienced in the Bahamas.

Non-guests are charged $25 to walk through what is reported to be the ancient city of Atlantis, which to me was way too expensive for what I saw. Guests of the hotel are allowed to take the tour for free. The attraction draws many visitors with the ticket seller saying she had sold 6,000 tickets the day before.

U.S. Natural Gas: In The Midst of A Change That Will Alter Flows, Prices
Massive shale-driven production growth in the U.S. Northeast and soaring demand from the Southeast will turn the nation's traditional south-to-north and west-to-east pipeline natural gas flows and price spreads upside down, according to Bentek Energy®, the natural gas and oil analytics unit of Platts, a global energy and commodities information provider.
"Based on our latest modeling, the U.S. is embarking on a true sea change," said Rocco Canonica, Bentek Energy director of energy analysis and lead author of the just-released 10-year outlook report Son of a Beast — Utica Triggers Regional Role Reversal. "The Northeast is poised to switch from the nation's largest demand region to a net supply region, and the U.S. Southeast is racing to become a much larger net demand region after being a major supplier to the U.S. gas market."
The 114-page report says that more than one-third of the U.S. natural gas production increase from 2013 to 2023—or 9.1 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d)—is expected to come from the Utica and Marcellus shale formations in the northeastern U.S., while nearly half of U.S. demand growth, or 9.4 Bcf/d, is expected to occur in the Southeast over the same period.
"This will contribute to making the Southeast a premium market relative to most other regions, pulling increasing amounts of gas from the Northeast, Texas and the Midcontinent," said Tony Sweet, Bentek Energy senior energy analyst and one of many speakers at Platts Commodity Week.
Bentek forecasts a 9% rise in natural gas prices by late decade at Henry Hub, a key North American hub and pricing reference.
Additional takeaways from the report include among others:
- Natural gas flows to the Northeast from other regions to plummet; net Northeast outflows to total 2.8 Bcf/d by 2023
- The liquids-rich shale plays of Texas and the Midcontinent to contribute about 44% of the expected U.S. natural gas supply growth over the next 10 years
- Total U.S. natural gas demand to rise 27% over the next decade, while U.S. supply to climb nearly 38%
- Substantial reconfiguration and repurposing of the U.S. natural gas pipeline grid
The report focuses on supply and demand fundamentals and highlights regional market changes afoot for more than a dozen natural gas production basins. It also includes an update on more than a half dozen expected liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects and a summary of anticipated flow changes in the Southeast/U.S. Gulf Coast, Texas, Midcontinent, Midwest, Rockies, Southwest, and Pacific Northwest.
Looking beyond the U.S., the report also contains baseline natural gas forecasts for Canada and Mexico. To download an overview, click here.

By Seth Rudetsky Danny Burstein talked about one of his first gigs when he met Tony Randall. Danny told Tony that he wanted to teach one day and Tony said, "What would you say is the most important thing to teach about acting?" Danny said, "Reacting." Tony said, "Ah…it is listening!" Danny said that listening is part of reacting and Tony said, "Don't contradict me you *#$%!!" This was not said angrily…it was said with a dry Tony Randall line reading. He then said, "It takes ten years to learn how to listen correctly." Uh-oh. I better start soon! Tony said that he was thinking of starting an acting company in New York and Danny told him that he'd love to do it if it ever happened. Years later Tony called Danny and invited him to be in his National Actors Theater and that was his Broadway debut!
The whole benefit honored Michael Patrick King who was the executive producer/director of "Sex and the City" (he's now directing the movie) and "The Comeback" (with which I am obsessed!). Michael talked about theatre people versus television/film people and how there is so much financial reward in TV/film. He said that theatre people's rewards are always emotional and spiritual (as opposed to financial) and unfortunately they turn that against themselves and feel that they're doing something wrong. I really loved hearing that. Why do some people consider an actor more successful for having a role on a headache-y sitcom as opposed to doing a brilliant show for low buckage? I remembered turning down an audition for a TV show that I probably would have gotten last year so I could do Torch Song Trilogy at the Gallery Players in Brooklyn and get paid in train fare…but I don't regret it! It was amazing for me!
This week at the Chatterbox I interviewed the incomparable Rosie Perez. She was hy-sterical! What a story teller...and what a life! She grew up in Brooklyn and always wanted to be the next Jacques Cousteau (who knew?). She was studying biology in college but, because of her sassy dancing in clubs, she started getting hired to choreograph major hip hop stars. One night she was at a club and saw Spike Lee having a "big butt" contest onstage. She was so annoyed, she got onstage and started making fun of it and the club owners went to throw her out! Spike intervened and said it was meant to be that they met and told her to call him to be in his next film! She had only done one play at her Catholic school and never thought of being an actress but she showed up to audition for the casting person, who immediately asked her if she had a monologue. Huh? She certainly didn't. The casting person told her to make one up about the character. Rosie asked for a description. "Well," the casting person said, "she's a poor Puerto Rican, on welfare, with kids and — " "OK!" Rosie cut her off because she didn't need to hear anymore, she knew exactly who that was. Rosie started talking as the character, basing her on her aunt…but was so nervous that she started crying. Uh-oh! She thought fast and feigned that it was part of her monologue, holding her imaginary baby closer…telling him it would be all right. She got the part in 'White Men Can't Jump,' filmed it and went back to working as a choreographer. People were annoyed that she was late sometimes for rehearsals, so the record company got her a driver. An intern named…Sean "Puffy" Combs!!!! He was her driver and he'd always tell her to watch out because he was going places. Apparently to the Royale theatre to star in A Raisin in the Sun.
Rosie then got a job choreographing the fly girls for the TV show, "In Living Color." She wanted to cast Jennifer Lopez but Marlon Wayans wanted another girl who was then fired two weeks later. Marlon still said no to Jennifer, so Rosie put her job on the line to give her the gig because she knew that even though Jennifer wasn't a great dancer, she had incredible star quality. She was right! (Although…"Gigli"? Anybody?)

OK…back to The Ritz. I was thinking about what I will miss. I loved showing up and seeing my friends in the dressing room. We had so many stupid running jokes that made me laugh. Jeffrey Thomas who played the "snooty patron" always accused me of trying to sabotage him when I would give him advice about how to sing his song in the talent contest. He first started calling me "Sabotina," then changed it "SaboTina Yothers." "Family Ties"? Anybody?
Also, there's something so nice about doing something during the day and suddenly thinking, "Wow! In so-and-so hours, I'll be on Broadway!" It was a delicious constant in my life and something to always look forward to. And I'll miss the bizarre rituals. Rosie asked me to remind her that she had to unstrap her shoe in the middle of the medley so it would fly off when she kicked. So, right at the end of scene one, we'd see each other in back of the bathhouse set and I'd say a rhyme to help her remember: (pointing to myself) "I'm a Jew, (Pointing to her strap) don't forget your shoe." This turned into me just pointing to her strap saying "shoe" and her pointing to me saying "Jew." Then after a month we graduated to just pointing at each other without saying anything. And finally, the last eight weeks it became a contest to see who would point first. I'd sneak around the corner of the set before my first entrance and find her getting her wig adjusted with her finger already pointing at me. The only times I won were when she was distracted by talking to Lucas Near-Verbrugghe or when I once did my quick change super fast and got to the back of the bathhouse before her. It sounds moronic but it became an important part of my night!
Ah, well…I'm sad to see the show go, but so happy I got to make my Broadway debut in such a great company of actors doing such an incredibly fun show. I'll always remember the image of the company bows on the last show. While we were dancing our curtain call to Donna Summer's "Last Dance" Kevin Chamberlin turned around and there were tears streaming down his face. If a veteran like that can be devastated, so can I!
OK…this week I'm psyched to see the Actors Fund performance of Mary Poppins and my friend Anika Larsen starring in her new theatre company's (JARADOA) production of Serenade. Hopefully, that will get my mind off the closing so I don't spend each night in my apartment putting on my unitard while trying to recreate what has ended…and, quite frankly, considering the way I look in said unitard, what never should have been!

Precursor weapon
Precursor weapons are level 80 exotic weapons used to craft legendary weapons at the Mystic Forge. Transmuting a precursor weapon changes it to a standard weapon; it cannot be used in the recipe to craft the legendary weapon. Precursor weapons are obtained by the same methods that any named equipment can be obtained, but have a much lower drop rate.
[edit] Acquisition
Precursor weapons can be obtained from almost any item source. This includes loot, chests, containers, reward chests, etc. that can be characterized by the possibility of receiving a weapon. The possibility of receiving a precursor weapon is not dependent on level or area, as players have reported receiving precursors on low-level characters in low-level areas as well as high-level character in high-level areas. To note, only high level players (62 - 80) can receive exotic quality weapons and may be more likely to receive precursor weapons from loot as loot often scales with level.
The Mystic Forge is a primary source for precursor weapons due to the refinement that allows players to mix together equipment for a chance at better quality equipment. Players have a chance to receive a precursor weapon when combining four rare or exotic pieces of equipment with an average level of 75 or higher. One or more of these items must be a weapon, with four weapons of the same weapon type guarantee receiving a weapon with that weapon type. For example, players can combine one level 60 rare weapon and three level 80 weapons or three level 75 pieces of armor and a level 75 weapon. Player research into the chance of receiving a precursor when combining four exotic weapons of the same type estimates the probability at 0.79% with 2901 trials.[1]
A precursor can also drop from any chest or container that drops weapons. Chests include jumping puzzle chests, dungeon chests, boss chests, and so on. Bonus Chests from world boss events have a greater chance to drop exotic or precursor weapons than other sources, being introduced in the 26 February 2013 update.

Plot & Details
In this pilot film for the Batman Beyond television series (which aired as a two-part episode), Bruce Wayne (Kevin Conroy) has become too old for super heroics and has hung up his bat suit for good. However, a young man named Terry McGinnis (Will Friedle) wants to avenge the death of his father, which he believes was caused by the new head of Wayne Industries. After he does a bit of digging, McGinnis discovers Bruce Wayne's long-held secret and takes Bruce's suit out of mothballs to become the new Batman, with a new complement of high-tech gadgets at his disposal. Boasting a futuristic look inspired by Japanese anime, Batman Beyond also features appearances from Stockard Channing as the new Commissioner Gordon and Teri Garr as Mary McGinnis, Terry's mom.

Changes in Advertising Psyche for Consumer Services
Today, I was on Pandora listening to some music, to find yet another LivingSocial ad.
This really got me to reflect on last 5-10 years…
Google, Flickr, Facebook and Twitter never advertised early in the growth of their success.
They won peoples heart by offering such a unique offering that they didn't need consumer advertising. I put my 2005 hat on, and I remember at the conferences when advertising for consumer services was frowned upon as you should be able to capture users based on the quality of your product alone. Also, "the right type of people" (early adopters) signup when you are not advertising and feel more committed to the product.
It's not only LivingSocial, new growth consumer companies have demonstrated more aggressive paid marketing levels including scvngr, Zynga, and GroupOn.
You can't watch the superbowl or navigate an iPhone app without seeing an ad for these companies.
Is the cool "don't need to advertise" attitude gone?
If so, what was the tipping point?
Did GroupOn 6B valuation change peoples psyche on this?
Have we reached hypercompetitive level for time to mass market that this is now required?
Is this acceleration a long-term trend or a short-term fad?
Not sure I have the answer but one thing has changed… Advertising is more accepted for consumer growth internet companies then it was a year or two ago.
9 Responses to Changes in Advertising Psyche for Consumer Services
@gravitymonkey says:
Interesting observation. I wonder if this is reflective of marketing budgets growing, or of these companies being more consumer focused – needing to reach more "normals" than "early adopters"? I think it's just a different climate – more fertilizer to throw on the garden – in hopes it all grows faster.
sandieman says:
"Normal" vs. "Early Adopter" is an interesting paradigm. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossing_the_Chasm – old school way of thinking about it.
Funny thing is when you hear GroupOn talk about this, they mention that advertising drives people to create the initial momentum to get a real community of adopters. Early adopters now reachable via advertising? Early adopters bigger part of our population?

Who We Are
We are with Furever Shih Tzu and Companion Dog Rescue, which is 501c3. Any donations made are tax deductible.
We do not have a public shelter, but the pets are fostered in private homes. So we do not have 'visitations' to see the pets for adoption.:
Adopting a friend
As you work through the adoption process, please understand that our first and ONLY concern is the happiness and welfare of THE DOG.
First of all, the Miniature Schnauzer is a high maintenance breed and requires frequent and regular grooming. This means a trip to be groomed about every 6 weeks at an average cost of $40 per trip. If this is not in your budget, this may not be the right breed for you.
A Mini Schnauzer is a very loving and loyal dog that needs attention and affection. A Mini Schnauzer will want to be with the family, wherever that may be. A Mini Schnauzer would be miserable as an "outdoor" dog, therefore we won't even consider it. We will only consider those homes who want a Mini Schnauzer as an indoor family member. Further, IF in one of our follow-ups, we find one of our dogs is left outdoors unattended, we will reclaim the dog.
Rescue dogs may or may not have some "issues" to work through. (We will advise you of any "issues" a dog has prior to you adopting it). These dogs are often very scared, and unsure of where they belong. There may be some training involved or some bad habits to correct. Some of our really traumatized dogs may take 1-2 years to turn around. However, rescue dogs usually have plenty of love, affection and gratitude to give back. And you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you saved a dog. (We do not place aggressive dogs or known biters)
Our Process
Our Mini Schnauzers can come from a variety of situations... We get dogs out of Shelters, owner turn-ins, dogs who are abandoned because of their owners death...etc. Rather than leave these dogs to die in a shelter, we take them in and address their needs. We will treat any medical condition the dog has. Then we spay and/or neuter every dog (no exceptions), bring him or her current on all shots, and begin it on heartworm and flea protection. The dog is bathed, groomed, and put into a foster home for evaluation. Each dog stays in their foster home until they are adopted.Here are some general guidelines we follow in choosing the homes for our dogs:
All pets in the house must be altered before we will place a Mini Schnauzer with you, unless you show for conformation.
If you have little children the age of 7 or under, please don't ask to adopt a Mini Schnauzer from us. The great majority of the rescue dogs do not do well with children under the age of 7.
If you are unsure as to whether you can commit to a dog for the rest of it's life, (regardless of whether you move, change jobs, or get divorced) then please rethink your decision to adopt a dog. Adoption is for the rest of the dog's life.
If you are in hurry, please slow down! This is a lifetime decision and should not be made in haste. Our adoption process takes time and does not happen the same day or even overnite.
Here are some things we insist on if you do adopt a Schnauzer from us:
The dog may never be allowed off a leash unless it is in a securely fenced yard.
The dog must be kept on Heartworm and Flea Prevention medicine at least 9 months out of the year, and in some areas year around. Due to having treated several heartworm positive dogs recently, you must have a history of giving heartworm preventative to be considered for adoption.
The dog must be an indoor dog and treated as a member of the family.
The dog is never to be left outside when you are not home.
The dog must wear ID tags at all times.
You must be 21 years old to submit an adoption application. Our adoptions require a person to be of legal age to be able to sign the adoption contract.
You may not adopt a dog as a present for another person or as a surprise for someone. This is not fair to the dog or the person involved.
We do not have a shelter. Our whole organization is made up of volunteer foster homes. So...it is NOT possible to go to a "shelter" to view all our dogs. (Please do not call me asking where to go to look at the dogs!) We ask that you submit an application first, and once you are approved to adopt, we will suggest a few dogs and make arrangements for you to meet them. We do not allow strangers who have not submitted an application to go to our volunteers homes to meet a dog. This is for our volunteers safety. We do not place dogs in homes that we do not believe will work out... so please respect our advice. We reserve the right to refuse to adopt to any applicant.
Out of the Area? We will gladly do a "long distance" adoption, however we do not ship our dogs. We expect you to come and pick up your dog. If you are not prepared to go pick up your dog, it will affect your application to adopt that dog. We do not allow friends or family members to pick up the dog unless the adopter is with them. We do not adopt out of area unless you have a vet and groomer reference.
Puppy through 1 yr. old.........Lots of chewing, not reliably housetrained, needs much attention and training, not good choice if you are gone all day.
1-3 Yr. old........ Still acts like a puppy, may or may not be housetrained, will still chew, needs lots of playtime to burn energy, will become bored easily if left alone too long.
3-5 Yr. Old.......Able to be trusted alone in the house for short periods, needs several hours of playtime daily, will become bored easily, will chew from boredom.
5+ .... A perfect dog. Past the chewing stage, reliably housetrained, content to sleep while you are gone, will want to play for a few hours, but will be ready to sleep again when you do.
The first step to adoption is filling out a written application. Once we review your application, someone from a local rescue will come to your home to meet you and your family. (We like to see where our dogs are going) Once you have been approved, you may begin meeting our dogs.
Our Adoption fees range from $200 to $350 and are used to pay the vet expenses. Dogs up to age 2 are considered puppies. As they get older the fee is reduced. Senior dogs are $175 plus $25 microchip fee. All dogs are up to date on shots, heartworm negative, spayed or neutered and any known problems are treated before they can be adopted.(If you cannot afford the adoption fee, then you cannot afford to properly care for the dog. Please do not ask us to subsize your dog, we do not receive federal or corporate funding. All our vet costs come out of our own pockets! Last year our vet costs were $3000 higher than our adoption fees!)
Also... if your idea is to adopt a rescue Mini Schnauzer, because you don't want to pay a breeders price, please stop right here, because that is not what rescue is all about. Rescue is about giving a dog a chance who otherwise would not get one.
Rescue dogs range in age from puppies to 13 yr. olds. Everyone seems to want the young dogs...so please consider opening your heart to an older dog. They are so much harder to place, and most often are the best behaved. They need homes just as much, if not more, than the younger dogs.
If you have made it this far, and are still interested ......Fill out an adoption application
Placing a rescued Mini in a safe and loving home is a high priority. Besides assessing the Mini for its needs, we also assess potential homes to assure that the environment and caregivers will be able to provide the right balance of love and attention that each and every dog deserves. We are always searching for that special person or family that is willing to open up their home and is ready to be smothered with love by these most wonderful animals. What Age Dog Is Best For You?
An average Miniature Schnauzer will live 14-16 years......so what age dog is best for you?
Our procedure for adopting is as follows: First of all you will need to fill out the
Miniature Schnauzer placement application
Adoption Application
This application can be done directly at this web site and it has some drop down boxes with several choices. Choose the most fitting answers and submit. If you have any problems with submitting this application be sure to let me know.
My email address is email@example.com
We require a completed adoption application & home screening. Prospective homes must meet adoption criteria. After you fill out an application and the references are called, we or an appointed rescue person, will meet with you and your family in your home. We want to ensure the Mini you adopt will have a forever loving permanent home. By having a personal meeting and instructional home visit, we will then determine which Mini in rescue would fit well in your household. We will also offer you suggestions at that time to ensure the comfort and safety of the pet. This will also make the transition of the Mini to your home go smoothly. Then we will always be available by phone or email whenever you have any questions concerning the pet. In all cases, the final placement decision is based on the suitability of each dog for a particular home and will not be made until the application has been approved, references checked and the homevisit has been completed.(Please don't call me expecting to get a dog the day you call!) Our group does have a policy of only placing dogs in homes where all pets are spayed or neutered.
We do not have a permanent shelter facility. All of our dogs are kept in foster homes. Please contact us to set up a meeting with the dog you are interested in AFTER you have completed an adoption application.

Overview Join Results Reporting Nest Box Info & Plans
Cavity Nesters Recovery Program (CNRP) Overview
CNRP involves many volunteers in Santa Clara County who establish and monitor nest box trails for cavity nesting birds. During the breeding season, these boxes are checked weekly for parasitism, predation, number of eggs, nestlings, and number of young fledged. Then at the end of the nesting season, volunteers submit their results to us. We compile these results for the county and submit them to the statewide California Bluebird Recovery Program and other interested organizations.
Our program is immensely successful in helping native cavity nesting species such as the Western Bluebird, Chestnut-backed Chicadee, Ash-throated Flycatcher, Violet-green Swallow and others. Cavity-nesting birds of prey such as Barn Owls, American Kestrels and Western Screech Owls also benefit.
This program is part of the California Bluebird Recovery Program, which is jointly sponsored by Audubon California and the North American Bluebird Society.
by Don Yoder
A down-to-earth conservation effort - the larger the better - can make a difference! Over the years, bluebirds have lived and reproduced in California. However, development in rural areas has destroyed much of their preferred habitat. Now their numbers are declining and we must take action to reverse the trend and prevent their total disappearance.
California is a state with wide variations in terrain, altitude and vegetation. There are many niches where bluebirds can be reestablished if cavities — nestboxes — are provided. Many people have not seen a bluebird in years in areas in which they used to be residents or frequent visitors.
There are many ways to help cavity nesting species. While we particularly emphasize bluebird recovery, we welcome any cavity nester. All native species are a part of the natural scene and their preservation is of utmost importance to our own survival. We invite your inquiry and earnest participation.
We want to share the fun and excitement we experience when bluebird fledglings leave the nest to take their place among the trees and the grasslands.
As part of the state California Bluebird Recovery Program, a network of County Coordinators provides close contact with individuals who maintain their own nestbox trails. Questions and problems do arise and local help is usually available.
Participation by more people, the selection of good habitat, and the provision of proper boxes can make an impact on the survival rate and numbers of bluebirds. We are already seeing results throughout the State.
Our aims are to:
Join CNRP to start monitoring your own nest boxes!

Alphabeat is a Danish pop band from Silkeborg signed to Copenhagen Records in Denmark. Their debut single "Fascination" was a major hit in Denmark during the summer of 2007 and a significant hit in the UK in 2008. A second single, "10.000 Nights of Thunder" (or just "10,000 Nights" in the UK) saw equal success, and their eponymous debut album went platinum in Denmark, and their subsequent single "boyfriend" was released to great acclaim in the UK.
Their sound is mainly retro 80's melodic pop, taking inspiration, amongst others, from Deacon Blue and Prefab Sprout, with distinctive overlay of male and female harmonies.They have been compared to pop legend ABBA.
Their native success attracted the attention of several major labels from larger markets abroad, and Alphabeat were eventually signed to EMI's Charisma Records label in the United Kingdom. Their British debut single, "Fantastic 6", was released on 26 November 2007. Several popular British publications have praised Alphabeat including NME,The Observer Music Monthly, Digital Spy and Popjustice.

SYRACUSE, New York (Ticker) -- Charlie Villanueva used his inside strength to solve Connecticut's struggles at the Carrier Dome.
Villanueva scored 21 points and freshman Rudy Gay added 18 as No. 14 Connecticut captured its first victory in its last four trips here with a 74-66 triumph over seventh-ranked Syracuse in a Big East Conference battle.
Winless here since January of 2000, the Huskies (15-5, 7-3 Big East) went inside to wear down the Orange. Villanueva shot 9-of-14 from the field and pulled down 10 rebounds.
"For us, that is the best win we've had this season, far and away, especially considering it was on the road and we started two freshmen, two sophomores, and a junior," Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun said.
With Connecticut trailing, 61-56, and Syracuse's leading scorer and rebounder, Hakim Warrick, on the bench with four fouls, Villanueva engineered a 9-0 run with five points, including a layup that put UConn up, 65-61, with 4:28 remaining.
After the Orange rallied to tie it at 65-65, Villanueva put the Huskies ahead on a layup with 2:47 remaining, and Josh Boone added a follow shot off a missed jumper by Villanueva for a four-point lead with 77 seconds left.
"I think it was just an evenly matched game with two well-coached teams," said Syracuse guard Billy Edelin about the matchup between the last two national champions. "But when Hakim came back into the game, we started trying to throw the ball to him too much. It was predictable. It's something we'd like to get away from. I saw the same thing when Carmelo (Anthony) was here. He was such a force that we wanted him to do so much."
After sitting for nearly six minutes, Warrick returned to the game with 6:04 remaining and the game tied at 61-61, but the Orange committed three turnovers down the stretch trying to force the ball into him in the post.
"In the second half, I thought we tried to get the ball into (Warrick)," Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said. "That's what we wanted to do, we just had two turnovers in the post and that was the ballgame."
Gay shot 6-of-13 from the field with two 3-pointers and Marcus Williams added nine points and six assists for Connecticut, which limited Syracuse to 1-of-9 shooting from 3-point range. The Huskies entered the game first in the nation in field goal percentage defense at 37 percent.
In the first half, the teams matched each other shot for shot until Villanueva began an 8-0 run with six straight points, including consecutive dunks for a 22-17 lead with 8:24 left. Huskies sharpshooter Rashad Anderson, who entered the game shooting 50 percent (16-of-32) from the arc in his previous five contests, was fouled making a jumper 15 seconds later, but missed the free throw for a 24-17 advantage.
But Syracuse (21-3, 8-2) took advantage of 11 first-half turnovers by UConn, going into halftime down just 37-36 behind 13 points by Warrick and eight by Terrence Roberts.
In the second half, the Orange forged a 53-50 lead with 12:36 left on an 11-1 run as Gerry McNamara and Josh Pace scored four points each. But Warrick picked up his third and fourth fouls over the next 55 seconds and was forced to sit.
Overall, Syracuse committed 24 fouls, including 15 in the second half. In contrast, Connecticut had 15 personal fouls whistled against them, including just six after halftime.
"I look up at the scoreboard and there's five players with 17 fouls. Four, four, four, four and one," said McNamara about the frequent fouls. "It's tough to play aggressive when it seems like everything's going one way. That's just how it seemed in the second half." Warrick scored 16 points and Pace added 14 for the Orange, who absorbed their first loss in 15 home games this season.

Maybe they weren't good, but they were original, and they were selling."
Some of the pair's most famous work became seared into pop culture history via theme songs and even advertising jingles. The Foggy Mountain Boys wrote and performed "Foggy Mountain Breakdown," which was used famously in chase scenes in the iconic film Bonnie and Clyde and won two Grammy Awards. Their next success would come on the small screen,
when their "Ballad of Jed Clampett" became the theme song for the popular Beverly Hillbillies television show. This consummately catchy tune found its way to No. 1 on the country charts in 1963.
After two decades of success and influence, Flatt and Scruggs parted ways due to musical differences. Flatt was more of a traditionalist, and the ever-progressive Scruggs wanted to take his sound in a more contemporary direction. The banjo player would eventually start a new band with his sons, while Flatt hired a majority of the Foggy Mountain Boys' ensemble musicians to create a new solo act, Nashville Grass. With the bluegrass festival scene starting to blossom in the early 1970s, Flatt's new offerings were well received and truly beloved.
In 1967, Lester Flatt suffered a heart attack that would lead to future health complications and result in his retirement in 1979. The bluegrass community deeply mourned the loss of a legend when Flatt passed away on May 11, 1979. Claire Lynch would later write a song called "The Day Lester Died," echoing an entire community's grief with the lyrics, "The songs will live on, we'll sing them again, but somehow it will never be the same."
Lester Flatt was posthumously inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1985 and is remembered today as one of the true legends of bluegrass. With a guitar in hand, there wasn't a studio or stage that Flatt didn't command with his natural grace and home-spun style. Remarking on his own truly down-home style of performing, he once said, "People will say to me, 'I see you on television, and you're the most relaxed guy I ever saw.' I just can't do it any other way. I have to be like I am at home — if I can't... I might as well forget it."

Bluegrass Musicians
The "high, lonesome" style that defines the bluegrass sound comes from the experiences of the music's original composers, the Scots-Irish immigrants of Appalachia. Early bluegrass musician Lester Flatt brought the sound of the genre into the popular lexicon in 1948, when he helped found The Foggy Mountain Boys. He was joined by fellow musician Earl Scruggs, who expertly picked his banjo in the three-finger style that is carried on in the music of bluegrass great Ricky Skaggs. In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, Alison Krauss snagged more than 26 Grammy awards for putting a contemporary twist on the music of her bluegrass predecessors—proof that the genre still resonantes with listeners.

Bow hunting enthusiasts around Georgia are in a frenzy making final preparations for deer season to open.
The season begins Sept. 8 statewide and once again the bag limits are generous. Hunters may take 12 per season, no more than 10 of which may be antlerless and no more than two that have antlers. Of the antlered deer, one must have at least four points of one inch or longer on one side.
DULUTH, Minn. — Josh Horky had climbed the 65-foot tamarack tree before. In fact, it's the tree that holds the first-ever witches' broom he discovered.
Horky, of Duluth, is a botanist and witches' broom collector. The brooms are unique masses that grow in trees, and collectors remove pieces of them to graft onto young trees to create a new variation, such as dwarf conifers.
In January, Horky, 30, was on his way to his parents' home in Bennett, Wis., when he stopped to climb the tall tamarack to clip pieces for other collectors.
Back during the land boom of '04, I came up with one of my bright ideas.
I'd heard of guys who were making tons of money in land development and decided to take my rightful place among those successful entrepreneurs. Like any good businessman, I started off with a reasonable mission statement. "It is my intention to rake in enough money to retire and just live off the fat of the land." That sounded pretty good, so I proceeded forward and put together a business model.
PITTSVILLE, Wis. — Brigid O'Donoghue says the idea came to her in church.
The Pittsville woman, who spent the last decade connecting thousands of sick children and disabled veterans with the outdoors, decided to expand the vision.
"Why not develop an outdoors program for children with incarcerated parents?" O'Donoghue, 47, remembers thinking during a 2011 service.
O'Donoghue is not one to deal in hypotheticals. When she says "Why not?" the conversation has a way of moving directly to "How many?" and "How soon?"
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A new video initiative is bringing the famed brown bears of Alaska's Katmai National Park directly to your computer or smartphone.
Without having to go there, you'll be able to watch mature bears compete for salmon at Brook Falls and other sites and cubs tumbling over each other as they play. Starting Tuesday, a live web stream (http://is.gd/bfPAs8) will allow the public to see the brown bears in their natural habitat.
I spent most of my early life perfecting techniques in such essential crafts as hunting, fishing, bicycling, fielding ground balls and of course swimming naked in the creek. At that point in time those were the most important things in my world and I figured I'd go into one of those fields professionally somewhere along the line. Thus practice in those areas was preparation for life — or so I thought.
MONROE, N.C. — When Jeff Konopka was growing up in Buffalo, N.Y., he loved working with his hands.
"I've always enjoyed taking stuff apart, seeing how it worked," Konopka said. "Anything like that, I was totally into."
That led to a career in woodworking and cabinet making in Buffalo. When Konopka wasn't on the job, he pursued and perfected his hobby of making hand-crafted fishing baits.
When Dathan Ritzenhein arrived in England on Tuesday — 17 days before the opening ceremonies for the Summer Games — it took only moments for him to feel the excitement.
"You see it on TV back home, and every time you open up a magazine, but to be here right now is awesome," the Rockford, Mich., native said by phone Wednesday from London. "Even at the airport there were people greeting you."
The ski area outside of Durango, Colo., was named Purgatory, and the hardy mountain bikers who showed up for the first world championships more than 20 years ago found it an apt description.
They were men and women who smiled when mud was kicked in their face. They didn't care much for the cycling establishment, for all those high-brow road races going on over in Europe. All they cared about riding fast and having fun, and doing it wherever they wanted.
I'm worried. Although by nature not one to fret over stuff I have no control over, there have been recent incidents that have brought some things to my attention worthy of consternation.
I had been gliding along, basking merrily in what my pea brain told me was middle age, but that has suddenly changed, and it happened in the blink of an eye.

Can't restore BBM contacts
Hello! I downgraded to an old os today, I did a wipe then restore from a backup with desktop manager. Everything went fine except my bbm contacts. I use other files I had and still I can't recover them. Please help!!
You must have had BBM7 installed, which uses no backup, so it doesn't make one. If you don't have a recent backup to use, upgrade to BBM7 again, and logging into BBID should restore them.

Scouts: ND's a great fit for Neal
By Tom Luginbill
Davonte Neal
(Scottsdale, Ariz./Chaparral) is the ideal threat as a multipurpose offensive weapon, but could also have the biggest impact and upside on defense and for a team that is in dire need of secondary help and depth, this could be a terrific marriage for both Neal and Notre Dame.
Neal is an athlete with game changing ability with the ball in his hands and is an electrifying return man. We would be surprised if he is not a contributor as a true freshman regardless of which position he lands.

South Africa: Mandela convalesces, legacy secure
JOHANNESBURG (AP) — South Africa's agonizing past swept over Alex McLaren, who stepped into sunlight with tears in his eyes after a tour of the Apartheid Museum, an unsparing study of white minority rule and the costly fight against it.
Yet South Africa-born McLaren, an American citizen, also found inspiration in the museum's exhibition about Nelson Mandela, former prisoner, South Africa's first black head of state and one of the great, unifying figures of the 20th century.
Mandela, now 94 years old and ailing, was a special figure in the anti-apartheid struggle because of "his perseverance, his ability to forgive and to reconcile, and the fact that he appeared when he did, him and others. But mainly him," said McLaren, a retired engineer.
"There will be a lot of wailing, gnashing of teeth, when he goes," he said, anticipating the grief of South Africa and the world.
The delicate health of Mandela, now convalescing behind the high walls of his Johannesburg home, came under scrutiny and speculation during a 19-day stay in a hospital in December. He was treated for a lung infection and had gallstones removed. Regardless of when the end comes, his burnished legacy was written years ago, even if the country he led from the long night of apartheid still struggles with poverty and other social ills.
Mandela's place as South Africa's premier hero is so secure that the central bank released new banknotes in 2012 showing his face, a robust, smiling image of the icon who walked out of a prison's gates on Feb. 11, 1990 after 27 years in captivity. He is a Nobel laureate, the recipient of many other international awards, the subject of books, films and songs and, when he was active, a magnet for celebrities.
In part, what elevated Mandela was his charisma, his ability to charm through humor and grace, and an extraordinary capacity to find strength in adversity.
"People tend to measure themselves by external accomplishments, but jail allows a person to focus on internal ones; such as honesty, sincerity, simplicity, humility, generosity and an absence of variety," Mandela says in one of the many quotations on display at the Apartheid Museum. "You learn to look into yourself."
Just four years after being released from prison, Mandela became South Africa's first black president in 1994. His successes include the introduction of one of the world's most progressive constitutions and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, a panel that heard testimony about apartheid-era violations of human rights as a kind of national therapy session.
McLaren, the visitor to the Apartheid Museum, grew up in South Africa and recalled witnessing injustices of apartheid: blacks being arrested or stopped in the street, a black woman being pushed off a bus and a view among many whites that blacks were "somehow inferior."

The Ancient Egyptian Language
An Historical Study
- Author: James P. Allen
- Date Published: August 2013
- availability: In stock
- format: Paperback
- isbn: 9781107664678
$32.99 (Z)Paperback
This book, the first of its kind, examines how the phonology and grammar of the ancient Egyptian language changed over more than three thousand years of its history, from the first appearance of written documents, c.3250 BC, to the Coptic dialects of the second century AD and later. Part One discusses phonology, working backward from the vowels and consonants of Coptic to those that can be deduced for earlier stages of the language. Part Two is devoted to grammar, including both basic components such as nouns and the complex history of the verbal system. The book thus provides both a synchronic description of the five major historical stages of ancient Egyptian and a diachronic analysis of their development and relationship.
Read more- The first comprehensive study of how the world's oldest and longest continually documented language has changed through four millennia
- Grammatical examples glossed as well as translated, meaning the book is accessible to readers unfamiliar with ancient Egyptian
- A new synthetic interpretation challenges many facets of received wisdom in the field

Friends of
People for
Pleasanton First
Concerned Pleasanton
Ten people with one name sway our City leaders far too often. You included Mr. Thorne. It's not just the money
Listen to the needs of the total community. We have very healthily financial reserves we are told. May I suggest we use some of the monies to survey and understand the real desires/needs of Pleasanton. Don't leave every critical decision to our elitist City leaders and the creatively named conclaves of Pleasanton. One voice with a good plan is better than ten voices with a bad one. Stop the special interests running our town!
on Jul 14, 2007 at 4:13 pm
I agree with steven!
Let's replace these "leaders" with people who care!

Let's replace these "leaders" with people who care!
We just did.
Only the results of our election are not as some would prefer and are making it difficult for this town to develop needed facilities.
We have competition for field uses on all of our sports parks.
The shortage is actually causing some families to choose not to play.
All the communities in the Tri-Valley are developing fields for sports use except Pleasanton.
It's our turn.
Stop talking.
We need sports facilities now!

Watch Steve Jobs demo the Macintosh in public for the first time in 1984
In January of 1984, Steve Jobs introduced the Apple Macintosh to the world. Below you can watch the first public demo of the computer, live in front of 3,000 people. What's most striking about the demo is how common every revolutionary idea that caused the audience to ooh and ahh has become.
From powerful graphic design processing, 3D gaming graphics, document templates, myriad fonts and simplified coding interfaces, it's wonderful to see the excitement and lack of cynicism from the crowd. They simply watch in polite cheering wonder.
Until the text-to-speech feature is debuted. Suddenly the crowd explodes with wild cheering, like Hal 9000 was making its first appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show. Granted, it's a charming exchange, with the computer's "first words" being "Hello, I'm Macintosh. It sure is great to get out of that bag. Unaccustomed as I am to public speaking, I'd like to share with you a maxim I thought of the first time I met an IBM mainframe. NEVER TRUST A COMPUTER YOU CAN'T LIFT."
After giving its adorable standup comedy act, the computer introduces its "father" -- Jobs. The look on Jobs' young face as the crowd roars tells you everything. This is a game-changing moment for Apple as a company. If only that crowd could imagine how much computers were about to evolve because of the path followed with this wonderful little machine.

We frequently use preview to annotate pdf documents which are stored on our server. Currently I am working with a NAS server, which does not save the "versions" created by preview if the original pdf file is on the server. It just stores the updated file as soon as you make the change (without asking if you want to overwrite the current file) and the original version is lost.
Will Mountain Lion server change this?
