Antonio David Garcia stepping down as director at Affirmations Lesbian Gay Community CenterBy Sherri Welch
Antonio David Garcia, executive director of Affirmations Lesbian Gay Community Center Inc., plans to leave the organization in February after leading it for two years. Jon Fitzgerald, Affirmations' chief administrative officer, will serve as interim executive director after Garcia departs, while the board conducts a national search for a permanent successor. Under Garcia's leadership the Ferndale-based nonprofit organization has implemented a new strategic plan, expanded its hours of operation and programming, and completed facility upgrades, it said in a news release. Affirmations reported total revenue of $820,031 on its 2012 tax filing, down from reported revenue of $889,315 in 2011 and $1.47 million in 2010. The organization is projecting it will bring in over $1 million in revenue this year, said Director of Communications Cassandra Varner, in a news release.

H.O.O.D. stands for "helping others obtain destiny". How can this inspire people outside of the Chicago area? What can others do to affect change in their cities?
I'm hoping that this vigil will cause others to become more compassionate and sensitive enough to the pain of others to the point that it will cause them take action in their particular neighborhoods.
One must implement a collaboration of efforts to attack the different social ills that their communities face on a day-to-day basis. It must be a collaboration of like minded churches, agencies and institutions.

REMEMBERING SDSM&T'S FIRST ONE HUNDRED YEARS To commemorate South Dakota Tech's first 100 years, several souvenir items are available, including cups, plates, imprinted shirts, neckties and scarves and spoons. A very attractive walnut desk set is also available. You may wish to visit the SDSM&T Bookstore and see the items available. By the spring of 1985, a Centennial History of the School of Mines will be available for purchase. The book will consist of about 200 pages of photos and text that provide an in-depth look at the school's history, and show how the school's growth and development parallels the history of the Rapid City area. Throughout the year, student publications will also focus on historical aspects of the school. Several pen and ink drawings of campus buildings were commissioned by the SDSM&.T Foundation. These drawings by James Van Nuys, including the one in this brochure of the Old Main Building, are suitable for framing, and are available from the Foundation Office. In conjunction with SDSM&T's Centennial, the Museum of Geology is also celebrating its 100th year. Its beginnings also date to 1885, when an extensive collection of fossil and mineral specimens were donated to the school by Gilbert E. Bailey, who was in charge of development of the Harney Peak Tin Mining and Milling Company. Museum staff are planning several Centennial events, in addition to their regular museum services...plan to stop by and visit the world of prehistoric creatures and exquisite minerals. Nearly all Centennial events have been planned to involve the public, alumni, and current students. South Dakota Tech has been part of the community for a century...help us celebrate our entrance into the second "century of excellence." t g \SH SDSM&T - "Entering a second century of excellence" For more information, contact these offices: College Relations 394-2480 Alumni Office 394-2347 SDSM&T Foundation 394-2436 Museum of Geology 394-2467 COVER PHOTO: Although John W.

Playing gay is on to-do list of award-winning actor Ronnie Lazaro
By Bayani San Diego Jr.Philippine Daily Inquirer
Ronnie Lazaro, the award-winning actor who bared all as a live-sex performer in Tikoy Aguiluz's 1985 drama film "Boatman," dons an archbishop's robes in Jade Castro's forthcoming comedy "Juana Change the Movie."
The social satire, which top-bills activist and Internet sensation Mae Paner (aka Juana Change), is from the same team behind the hit indie "Zombadings 1: Patayin sa Shokot si Remington," director Castro and writer-producer Raymond Lee.
Lazaro told the Philippine Daily Inquirer that his latest transformation, as a high official of the Catholic church, was a breeze.
"It was fun," he said of the shoot. "Mae was hilarious."
Unlikely role
But who was his inspiration for the unlikely archbishop role?
"If the scene was about a priest who receives a Pajero as gift, then I guess it's a giveaway. But it's a statement on the religious who have become materialistic," he explained. "That they are also human."
It's not the first time for Lazaro to push himself as an actor.
For Benito Bautista's "Boundary," he portrayed a taxi driver even though he loathed motoring around Manila's chaotic streets.
"I interviewed taxi operators and talked with cab drivers to prepare for the role," he recalled. "I wanted to tell their story as accurately as possible."
If you ask Lazaro, however, the brass ring remains elusive: Playing a gay character.
He was supposed to play a drag queen in Richard Somes' "Mariposa (Sa Hawla ng Gabi)," but scheduling conflicts got in the way. "I had already done my research. I was ready to play an all-out woman and had tried to figure out how to walk in high heels."
Wish list
While being gay remains in his to-do list, he was able to cross out another long-cherished dream.
Lazaro had his start in the biz on the popular gag show "Champoy," which also featured Mitch Valdes, Cherie Gil and Tessie Tomas, in the 1980s.
Lazaro finally got to attain a life-long goal on the set of "Huling Biyahe," an entry in the second Sineng Pambansa, mounted by the Film Development Council of the Philippines in Davao last November.
"Huling Biyahe" director Sigfreid Barros Sanchez recounted: "After the shoot, Ronnie exclaimed: 'I finally bedded all three women of 'Champoy'!' Turned out Miss Tessie was the missing piece in Ronnie's collection."
Lazaro had previously romanced Gil and Valdes in Peque Gallaga's 1982 war epic "Oro, Plata, Mata."
"Well, it's a lot better than having a bed scene with (another "Champoy" comic) Gary Lising," Lazaro joked. "It was easy because Tessie and I are friends."
Tomas won best actress in Sineng Pambansa for "Huling Biyahe, which stars other "Champoy" cast members Valdes, Lising and Noel Trinidad.
Lazaro last worked with Sanchez in "Mga Kidnaper ni Ronnie Lazaro," for which he won best actor with costars Epy Quizon, Nonie Buencamino, Dwight Gaston, Raul Morit, Soliman Cruz, Hector Macaso and Mon Lee in the first Sineng Pambansa last July.
Sanchez is currently subtitling "Huling Biyahe," which he hopes to send to festivals abroad.
"Huling Biyahe" will be shown at the Iloilo Film Festival, to be held in SM Iloilo from Jan. 24 to 25. Sanchez hopes to set its theatrical run in next month.

I'm getting about 42MPG now, which im happy with, if i drive really slowly and eco-friendly I can get about 47
good, to be honest after reading this thread i was worried that the MPG of the fiesta would be poor, but im actually very happy with it!
either way its a massive change from my old Mercedes S280, that got an average of 16MPG!

My last tank was my second most successful one ever - the economy is definately improving with age! The tank was more or less exactly half motorway and half urban driving, I tried to go fairly easy on the throttle for the most part and took it easy, but still went 70 on the motorway and kept up with the traffic in other conditions. Seeing at the official average economy for the 1.6 Ti-VCT is 47.9mpg and official figures are notoriously unrepresentative I'm very happy with the cars performance.
Could've done better - had it at 47.9 at one point but it tailed off.
Approx 100 miles per tank better than my old standard.
Average speed included to put the figures into context a bit - it's easy to sit on the motorway at 60 and do 55 mpg!

I am sorry for the loss of his goats, his friends. I appreciate the moderate response. Perhaps the Mountain Lion Foundation could help to suggest ways to "lion-proof" his enclosures?
on Nov 22, 2011 at 3:58 pm
So due to the owner's irresponsibility, the lion was deemed killable. Hopefully, the lion will never be found by humans.
on Nov 22, 2011 at 4:43 pm
Mountain Lions almost never kill domestic animals, or humans. This lion is wierd: sick, old, or not afraid of humans. If it attacks domestic animals again, and it'll be hungry about a week after it ate the goat, it's a threat to people. If it goes about it's normal business and kills/eats the local wild deer, we'll never see it again.
Thank you Mr Begun for your tempered response. I live on Tripp Rd also.
on Nov 22, 2011 at 5:11 pm

In an interview, Capt. Don Kelly of the Department of Fish and Game said that mountain lions will go after goats rather than sheep because goats are in "the deer family," the lion's natural prey.
Wildlife biologists have told the Almanac that there is no evidence to support the notion that having attacked a goat, a lion would then be disposed to attack a human.
This lion did not eat the goat, but fed on part of it. A second feeding was not possible because the carcass was hauled away by the tallow company.
on Nov 23, 2011 at 8:09 pm
Thanks, Mr. Boyce, for the clarification. There are a lot of myths about mt. lions - such as was posted about them having to be sick or old, etc. to eat livestock. That's simply not the case - it depends on the species of livestock as well as the predator.
on May 8, 2013 at 8:23 pm
Get livestock guardian dogs. I've had goats for 7 years without incident. Lions have taken livestock in my neighborhood, and they're sited fairly often.

Biography (World Philosophers and Their Works)
Article abstract: The first to use English instead of Latin for a philosophical treatise with his Advancement of Learning, Bacon is credited with the formulation of modern scientific thought. His Essayes is widely admired for its worldly witticisms and has become a classic of the form.
Early Life
Francis Bacon was born January 22, 1561, at York House in London, to Sir Nicholas Bacon, Lord Keeper of the Seal of England, and his second wife, née Ann Cooke, who was related to nobility through her sister, the wife of Sir William Cecil, the later Lord Treasurer Burghley. In 1573, at the age of twelve, Bacon entered Trinity College, Cambridge, which he left in 1576 for Gray's Inn, thus following in his father's steps and beginning a legal career.
After a brief visit to the French court in the entourage of Sir Amias Paulet from 1576 until his father's death in 1579, Bacon stayed with the Inn and was called to the bar in 1582, two years before he began to complement his legal work with an ambitiously undertaken political career that commenced with his membership in Parliament.
After advancement to the position of Queen's Counsel in 1589, Bacon's career stalled under Elizabeth I, whom he seemed to have offended in a parliamentary debate regarding the implementation of regal subsidiaries in 1593; his enemies at court used the opportunity to bar his way to promotion, seeing in Bacon (not wholly unjustly) not only an ambitious, prolific writer of political advice but also an unscrupulous seeker of preferment. Again, on the personal level, his friendship with the young earl of Essex did not bring him hoped-for political gain; in 1601, after Essex's ill-considered rebellion against the queen, Bacon's position required him to partake in the prosecution of his former friend.
Although the publication of An Advertisement Touching the Controversies of the Church of England (1589) had brought Bacon political advancement, his later work of political advice did not professionally benefit him. During a long period of arrested political development until Elizabeth I's death, Bacon showed himself stubborn and inclined to use the common practice of patronage and favoritism to lobby for a higher position. In his own office, he became a rather successful mediator of conflicts and tried hard but finally ineffectively to smooth the waves after Essex's insubordination preceding his open revolt against the queen.
A later painting shows Bacon as a tall, bearded officer wearing his regalia and insignia proudly; the picture suggests the reserved, somewhat unemotional yet nevertheless personally sensitive character that his later biographers have asserted on the basis of accounts from Bacon's chaplain and secretary William Rawley. At forty-five, he married Alice Barnham, daughter of a London alderman, who survived him; they had no children.
Life's Work
His long period of relative political inactivity under Elizabeth I gave Bacon time to write the first ten of his Essayes, which saw publication in 1597, and again, because of their popularity, in 1612 and in 1625, both times with significant enlargements that brought the total number to fifty-eight. A master of the essay form, which he helped to forge, Bacon looked at people and their government realistically, free of passionate idealism and zeal for the betterment of humankind. What his critics have called his Machiavellian and emotionless coldness nevertheless facilitated a witty discourse on the world as it really is and not as it should be in the eyes of reformers. With this was coupled political advice, as in his essays "On Dissimulation" or "On Plantations," which portrayed the shortsightedness, greed, and abuses of his time.

Biography (Censorship (Ready Reference series))
A noted lawyer and statesman of Renaissance England, Bacon defended the prerogatives of the crown and endorsed the divine right theory of monarchy. In a rapid rise to power, he became England's attorney-general in 1613 and lord chancellor in 1618. In 1621, however, his political career ended when he was convicted of taking bribes from litigants while their cases were pending. Forced into retirement, Bacon spent the remainder of his life writing on philosophy and literature. The most influential of his thirty works included The Advancement of Learning (1605, expanded in 1623), The New Organon and Related Works (1622), The New Atlantis (1626), and several volumes of essays.
Although Bacon was not a practicing scientist, he is considered one of the prophets of modern science because of his popularization of the inductive method in research. In place of speculation and the deductive logic emphasized by the Scholastic philosophers, he proposed a "new method of reasoning" that derives general principles from the study of particular facts or instances, with the use of experiments when possible. While he remained a faithful member of the Church of England, he taught that scientists should assume the existence of a mechanistic and materialistic universe, and he proclaimed a sharp...

Biography (Ethics (Ready Reference series))
Bacon's chief contribution to the history of philosophy was his effort to reconstruct completely the conception and practice of science. His own novel method of induction figures prominently in his reconstruction, which helped to launch the modern period of philosophy. His approach, however, was quickly surpassed by better accounts of scientific methodology. In ethics, the Essayes was Bacon's main work. These essays were published in three editions (1597, 1612, 1625), the second one an enlargement upon the first, and the third a completion of the whole. No systematic moral theory is presented; Bacon's style is more aphoristic than philosophical. The Essayes offers practical advice on moral and social questions. Bacon's major preoccupation as a philosopher was to point the way in which individuals could be restored to a position of superiority over nature. His views about ethics exhibit a hint of this same spirit. Thomas Hobbes, who is best known for his own elaborate political and moral philosophy, was Bacon's apprentice for a time. His emphasis on overcoming the state of nature may have been reinforced by his association with Bacon. On a personal note, Bacon pleaded guilty in 1621 to charges of political corruption. For this offense he paid a fine, was imprisoned in the notorious Tower of London for a brief time, and was permanently banned from political office. Although his particular actions clearly were illegal, the morality of a law that would impugn them has been disputed. As a happy consequence of the leisure thus afforded him, Bacon composed most of his writings during the last five years of his life.
Biography (Cyclopedia of World Authors, Fourth Revised Edition)
Francis Bacon, founder of the inductive method of modern science, philosopher, essayist, politician, and historian, was the son of Sir Nicholas Bacon, an Anglican, Lord Keeper of the Great Seal under Queen Elizabeth I. Bacon's mother, Anne Bacon, a Calvinist, second wife of Sir Nicholas, was a Greek and Latin scholar, and the family was prosperous. Bacon's uncle by the marriage of his aunt was Sir William Cecil, Lord Burghley, one of the most important men in England.
Young Francis Bacon was often seen at court in the company of his father and was known to Queen Elizabeth, who thought the boy extremely clever. He entered Trinity College, Cambridge, in April, 1573, when he was twelve years old. There he achieved a notable academic record and became known for criticizing the logic and science of his teachers. It seemed to the young student that the logic and philosophy of Aristotle were not adequate as a practical way to knowledge of the world, a criticism that provided the theoretical ground for Bacon's philosophy of science.
After leaving Trinity College in 1575 Bacon became a student of law at Gray's Inn in 1576. His studies were interrupted by a stay of two and a half years in Paris as a member of the staff of the English ambassador, Sir Amias Paulet. During this time he traveled widely and encountered the new ideas that were gradually supplanting Scholasticism in Europe. Recalled to England in February, 1579, because of the death of his father, he discovered that he had been left practically penniless, largely because his father had not finalized the division of his estate among his sons. After borrowing money to complete his law studies, Bacon was admitted to the bar in 1582.
Continuing to reflect on the need for new methods in science, Bacon entertained hopes of achieving a philosophy that would liberate students of nature from the artificial restraints of ancient logic and allow their work to have practical value in the world. At the same time he had political ambitions and prepared to set himself up as a man of power at court. In pursuit of this objective, he became a member of Parliament in 1584. He gradually ingratiated himself with Robert Devereux, the second earl of Essex, and attempted to use his influence with Essex, who was six years his junior, to secure for himself a responsible position at court. Although Essex was wealthy enough...

Anderson, Fulton H. Francis Bacon: His Career and His Thought. Los Angeles: University of Southern California Press, 1962. Discusses the public life of Francis Bacon. Based on a series of lectures, the book links Bacon's philosophy to his politics. Attempts to relate Bacon's philosophy to twentieth century problems are not entirely successful.

Frank Turner Tickets and Concert Dates
Frank Turner was born in Muharraq, Bahrain, in late 1981. He started playing in bands aged about 12 after he got into Iron Maiden because he thought the posters were cool. When it became apparent that the music also rocked face, he got a guitar and started nerding away. His teenage years were a typically embarrassing catalogue of musical errors, but he did play in some bands that some other people cared about. First there was a school-based hardcore / emo outfit called Kneejerk, which came to an unceremonious end in around 2000.
After that Turner got involved in a punk band called Million Dead. They were around for four years, from 2001-2005, and in that time released two albums to 'critical acclaim' and 'underground success' (i.e. they weren't exactly U2). Nevertheless, they made a lot of friends and played a lot of shows, wrote a lot of songs and learnt an awful lot about playing music and making a living out of it. In the end the band decided it would be best to part ways before they fell out and while they still had a chance of being a wicked underground band that no one liked at the time a decade hence (see: Slint).
Whilst in Million Dead, Turner started to do some shows on his own - sometimes out of necessity, say for a radio session - and started rediscovering a lot of the music I grew up with, like the Counting Crows, Johnny Cash, Weezer and so on, as well as getting more and more into country and folk. He started out with folky versions of MD songs and graduated to his own compositions (often bits and pieces that were a little too light for the band). When the 'Deadz came to an end, it seemed like the logical thing to do to try his hand at playing these songs more publicly and more concertedly than before. He also didn't want to stop touring, so he kept going.
Thus the 'never-ending tour of everywhere' started in October 2005, and hasn't really stopped since. Turner shared stages with everyone from Getcape via Gabby Young to The Automatic, clocking up nearly 200 shows thus far, much of it done travelling on the train and sleeping on the floor. Releasewise, he kicked off with a split with his good friends Reuben, moved through to a CDEP ("Campfire Punkrock") in May, released through Xtra Mile Recordings, and even found time for a split with legendary US singer Jonah Matranga.
The next chapter began on 15 January 2007, when his debut album was released in the UK. Entitled "Sleep Is For The Week", it features 13 tracks of pure sex and has been favourably received by everyone from Drownedinsound to The Sun (which covers pretty much the entire world population). A full UK tour with backing band (comprising members of Oxford's Dive Dive) was followed by a first jaunt over to the States for SXSW and a tour with the legendary Jonah Matrangah. "The Real Damage" EP followed in early May, and the summer is all about festivals. See you there.
The second album, Love Ire & Song was released to further dancing in the streets on 31 March 2008. More touring followed, and then a ridiculous summer of festivals. Later, single "Long Live The Queen" raised a ton of cash for Breast Cancer Campaign and stormed the airwaves, while he was in American on the Revival Tour. 2008 finished with a Levellers tour and an early years compilation (The First Three Years), and 2009 starts with Gaslight Anthem and Anti-Flag across Europe, followed by more American shenanigans.

Western Horseman for tablets? Read all about it here or...
Dropped in Texas' Big Bend area for nearly four sweltering months, this ragtag gang of wannabe ranchers left their cell phones and microwave ovens back in the future. Instead, they settled for open campfires, a small house, an even smaller bunkhouse and more backbreaking labor than they could've imagined. The series, produced by Thirteen/WNET New York and Wall to Wall Television, follows a format similar to previous PBS reality programming, such as Frontier House and Colonial House.
Among the Texas Ranch House group were few with any real horse or ranching experience. Texas rancher and U.S. Department of Agriculture cattle inspector Robby Cabazuela was easily the group's expert in such areas. Surprisingly, Swedish transplant Anders Heintz, who now calls Missouri home, was a close second. An animal-science major at Missouri State University, Anders has spent time on several American ranches and competes with his college's equestrian team. Past these two, horseback experience for many on the show ranged from little, at best, to none.
For the rest of this story, pick up the May 2006 issue of Western Horseman.

Agoura Hills is an affluent city in Los Angeles County, California. The ZIP code is 91301. The population was 20,330 at the 2010 census, down from 20,537 at the 2000 census. It is in the eastern Conejo Valley between the Simi Hills and the Santa Monica Mountains. This city on the Ventura Freeway (U.S. Route 101) straddles the border between the county of Los Angeles to the east, west and south and Ventura County to the north. It is about 30 miles (48 km) northwest of Downtown Los Angeles and less than 10 miles (16 km) west of the Los Angeles City limits (Woodland Hills). Agoura Hills and unincorporated Agoura sit next to Calabasas, Oak Park, and Westlake Village.
The area was first settled by the Chumash Native Americans around 10,000 years ago.[7] As the Alta California (Upper California) coast was settled by Spanish Franciscan missionaries in the late 18th century, the El Camino Real (the Royal Road or King's Highway), a road from Loreto, Baja California, Mexico to Sonoma, California, and connecting the Spanish missions in California, was established through the heart of what would later be known as Agoura Hills.
In about 1800, Miguel Ortega was granted a Spanish grazing concession called Rancho Las Virgenes or El Rancho de Nuestra Señora La Reina de Las Virgenes. The grant was abandoned after Ortega's death in 1810, and José Maria Dominguez was given Rancho Las Virgenes as a Mexican land grant in 1834. Maria Antonia Machado de Reyes purchased the rancho from Dominguez in 1845. (The "Reyes Adobe" ranch headquarters sits today in central Agoura Hills, where it is part of the Reyes Adobe Museum built around 2004 and owned by the Los Angeles County Parks and Recreation Department.[8])
By 1900, Agoura Hills was being used as a popular stage stop for travelers along the Camino Real because of its natural spring at the foothills of Ladyface Mountain, one of Agoura Hills' defining geographic features.
In the 1920s, the community was briefly known as Picture City, as Paramount Pictures owned a ranch in the area used for filming Westerns. To obtain a post office of their own, the residents were required to choose a one-word name, and in 1927 chose the shortest name proposed: a misspelling of the last name of Pierre Agoure, a local Basque man and French immigrant who had settled in the area in 1871 to live the lifestyle of the Mexican rancher. Styling himself Don Pierre Agoure,[9] he was a successful sheep herder and had a reputation as a swashbuckler.[10]
Agoura Hills began to grow rapidly in the late 1960s after the Ventura Freeway section of U.S. Route 101 was built through the city's heart, isolating the northern half of the city from the south. The first housing tracts started in Agoura were Hillrise, Liberty Canyon and Lake Lindero. Rapid growth continued during the 1970s, when schools were built and much of downtown erected.
In 1978, residents of the Agoura Hills area banded together to lobby Sacramento to widen the Kanan Bridge. Legislation was passed requiring the State Department of Transportation to award contracts for widening of the Kanan Road bridge overpass, over the Ventura Freeway, from two lanes to four lanes.
In 1982, the residents of the City of Agoura Hills voted in favor of cityhood by a 68% majority. Agoura Hills became the 83rd City in Los Angeles County. Elected to the first City Council were Mayor Fran Pavley, Mayor Pro Tem Carol Sahm, Councilmembers Ernest Dynda, John Hood and Vicky Leary.[11] Incorporating a year after neighboring Westlake Village, the drive for cityhood in the region was largely based on public discontent with the county's failure to limit residential development of the area, motives that influenced Malibu and Calabasas to follow suit in 1991.[12]
The 1980s was a period of tremendous growth, with large land areas being subdivided into housing tracts and a great wave of migration of people into the city. In the 1990s, numerous businesses set up shop in the city, and the downtown area was filled with shops and restaurants.
In 1996, the murder of Jimmy Farris (the infamous Brandon Hein case) shook the city and awakened it to a rising drug problem and petty theft crime wave among its young. As a result, the city began sponsoring live music competitions and concerts in local parks (see Music).
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 8.2 square miles (21 km2). 8.2 square miles (21 km2) of it is land and 0.04 square miles (0.10 km2) of it (0.37%) is water
Agoura Hills has a mountain called Ballard Mountain named after pioneer settler and freed slave John Ballard. The name of the mountain was officially changed from Negrohead to Ballard in a ceremony on February 20, 2010.[13]
Agoura Hills is called the "Gateway to the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area"[citation needed]. The city is unofficially divided into a number of varied districts centered on the modern Downtown area of the city. The most notable of these districts include Downtown, Forest Cove, South End, Malibu Junction, East Agoura, and Old Agoura.

Natural areas of Agoura Hills are part of the California chaparral and woodlands ecoregion and are covered by hundreds of local plant species, some of which are very rare, and others of which have become popular ornamentals. The range is host to an immense variety of wildlife, from mountain lions to the endangered steelhead. The Mountain lion population within the Santa Monica Mountains (which includes the Simi Hills & Santa Susana Pass) is severely depleted with only seven known living adult individuals. The primary cause of the decline is due to a combination of traffic related mortality (three from the area were killed within a matter of months,) anti-coagulants ingested from human poisoned prey (two individuals within the Simi Hills) and attacks by other, more dominant mountain lions (an elder male, known as P1, killed both his son and his mate, this is thought to be due to a lack of space available.) Snakes are common but only occasionally seen- the Southern Pacific Rattlesnake (the only venomous species), Mountain Kingsnake, California Kingsnake, Gopher snake, and Garter snake. The mountains are also home to the Western fence lizard.
Invasive species[edit]
In 2010, the Los Angeles Times reported that the New Zealand mud snail had infested watersheds in the Santa Monica Mountains, posing serious threats to native species and complicating efforts to improve stream-water quality for the endangered steelhead trout. According to the article, the snails have expanded "from the first confirmed sample in Medea Creek in Agoura Hills to nearly 30 other stream sites in four years." Researchers at the Santa Monica Bay Restoration Commission believe that the snails' expansion may have been expedited after the mollusks traveled from stream to stream on the gear of contractors and volunteers.[14]
Agoura Hills is known regionally for its live music scene and originality in the nu metal scene, a fame that has given rise to such acts as Linkin Park, The Sheds, Skye Aspen, Incubus, Hoobastank, Dead By Sunrise, and Fort Minor.
This music scene was born amid the coming of age of the children of the first wave of migration into Agoura Hills, those that settled in the 1960s. The 1980s was the first boom in the music scene, but by the late 1980s, as many of these original rockers moved off to college or aged, the scene quietly began to slip away.
However, in the mid-1990s the music scene began to take off again, energized by the coming of age of the children of those who had settled in the early 1980s. The 1996 Jimmy Farris murder case (popularized by defendant Brandon Hein) spurred many city leaders to action in promoting the arts among teenagers, hoping to ward off a rising crime wave. This patronage helped re-popularize live music among teenagers, and created the fertile ground that led to the take off of Linkin Park and Hoobastank.
However, by the first decade of the 21st century, much of this wave of teenagers had aged or gone to college, leaving the scene with only a shell of the energy it once had. Although the scene lives on, pushed forward by various Battle of the Bands competitions and garage concerts, the lack of a third major wave of migration to Agoura Hills (construction having been relatively maxed out in the second migration) makes a major renaissance seem doubtful as of early 2007. Demographic data suggests a possible resurgence within the coming years, but current data shows that the majority of young people in the city are in the 10 to 14 years old age group, leaving a comeback to some years in the future. With mean house prices in Agoura at $1.03 million, families with younger children (age 0-9) are probably not expected for a generation.[15]
As a result of this decline, it has become equally common to hear alt-rock blaring from stereos in Agoura as to hear reggaeton, a fact evidenced by radio station Latino 96.3's advertising campaign and runaway popularity in Agoura Hills.
Agoura Hills is home to The Canyon Club, a highly regarded concert venue that hosts national and regional touring acts such as Peter Frampton, Pat Benetar, Cyndi Lauper, REO Speedwagon, X, Steel Pulse, The New Cars, Asia, Boyz II Men, Alan Parsons, Foreigner, Bret Michaels and The Smithereens.

Government and infrastructure[edit]
Agoura Hills is governed by a City Council/City Manager form of government. A five-member City Council is elected by the residents to oversee city operations and guide the development of the community. Councilmembers are elected to four-year terms.[21] The terms are staggered so that a measure of continuity is maintained from one Council to the next. The role of Mayor rotates among the Councilmembers. The Mayor is chosen by the City Councilmembers to serve a one-year term.[21] The City Manager is appointed by the City Council to supervise the administrative personnel and contract services.[22] As of August 2010, the Agoura Hills City Council consists of John M. Edelston (Mayor), Denis Weber (Mayor Pro Tem) and council members Illece Buckley-Weber, William D. Koehler and Harry Schwarz. The City Manager is Greg Ramirez and the city attorney is Craig Steele.
In the state legislature Agoura Hills is located in the 23rd Senate District, represented by Democrat Fran Pavley, and in the 41st Assembly District, represented by Democrat Julia Brownley. Federally, Agoura Hills is located in California's 30th congressional district, which has a Cook PVI of D +20[23] and is represented by Democrat Henry Waxman.
In the 2004 presidential election John Kerry won 52% of the vote, while George W. Bush won 46% of the vote. In the 2006 state gubernatorial election, Arnold Schwarzenegger got just over 62% of the vote, while Democratic opponent Phil Angelides got over 34%. In the 2008 presidential election, however, Barack Obama won 69% of the vote in Agoura Hills, while John McCain only won 29% of the vote. Overall, Agoura Hills is perhaps the most liberal city in the Conejo Valley, particularly on environmental issues.

Hi, last year we stayed at Assateague National Park and loved it , but the horseflies were very bad and we had no power, and it was during the heat wave. I love the park, but my husband wants power. We love to be near the ocean. I wondered if anyone would recommend either of these two parks, or any advice? It looks like power will be hard to get in Assateague State park too.... But appreciate your help! Thanks!

Many drugs (eg, statins) commonly cause asymptomatic elevation of hepatic enzymes (ALT, AST, alkaline phosphatase). However, clinically significant liver injury (eg, with jaundice, abdominal pain, or pruritus) or impaired liver function—ie, resulting in deficient protein synthesis (eg, with prolonged PT or with hypoalbuminemia)—is rare.
The term drug-induced liver injury (DILI) may be used to mean clinically significant liver injury or all (including asymptomatic) liver injury. DILI includes injury caused by medicinal herbs, plants, and nutritional supplements as well as drugs.
The pathophysiology of DILI varies depending on the drug (or other hepatotoxin) and, in many cases, is not entirely understood. Drug-induced injury mechanisms include covalent binding of the drug to cellular proteins resulting in immune injury, inhibition of cell metabolic pathways, blockage of cellular transport pumps, induction of apoptosis, and interference with mitochondrial function.
In general, the following are thought to increase risk of DILI:
DILI can be predictable (when injury usually occurs shortly after exposure and is dose-related) or unpredictable (when injury develops after a period of latency and has no relation to dose). Predictable DILI (commonly, acetaminophen Some Trade Names GENAPAPTYLENOLVALORIN Click for Drug Monograph -induced) is a common cause of acute jaundice and acute liver failure in the US. Unpredictable DILI is a rare cause of severe liver disease. Subclinical DILI may be underreported.
Biochemically, 3 types of liver injury are generally noted (see Table 1: Potentially Hepatotoxic Drugs):

HAART = highly active antiretroviral therapy.
Presentation varies widely, ranging from absent or nonspecific symptoms (eg, malaise, nausea, anorexia) to jaundice, impaired hepatic synthesis, and encephalopathy. Early recognition of DILI improves prognosis.
Identification of a potential hepatotoxin and a pattern of liver test abnormalities that is characteristic of the substance (its signature) make the diagnosis likely.
Because there is no confirmatory diagnostic test, other causes of liver disease, especially viral, biliary, alcoholic, autoimmune, and metabolic causes, need to be excluded. Drug rechallenge, although it can strengthen evidence for the diagnosis, should be avoided. Suspected cases of DILI should be reported to MedWatch (the FDA's adverse drug reaction monitoring program).
Management emphasizes drug withdrawal, which, if done early, usually results in recovery. In severe cases, consultation with a specialist is indicated, especially if patients have hepatocellular jaundice and impaired liver function, because liver transplantation may be required. Antidotes for DILI are available for only a few hepatotoxins; such antidotes include N-acetylcysteine Some Trade Names MUCOMYST Click for Drug Monograph for acetaminophen Some Trade Names GENAPAPTYLENOLVALORIN Click for Drug Monograph toxicity and silymarin or penicillin for Amanita phalloides toxicity.
Efforts to avoid DILI begin during the drug development process, although apparent safety in small preclinical trials does not ensure eventual safety of the drug after it is in widespread use. Postmarketing surveillance, now increasingly mandated by FDA, can call attention to potentially hepatotoxic drugs. Routine monitoring of liver enzymes has not been shown to decrease the incidence of hepatotoxicity. Use of pharmacogenomics may allow tailoring of drug use and avoidance of potential toxicities in susceptible patients.

Which states benefit from federal taxing and spending policies?
According to a Tax Foundation study:
Currently taxpayers in North Dakota benefit most from the give-and-take with Uncle Sam, receiving $2.03 for every dollar in taxes. New Jersey benefits least, receiving just 62� per federal tax dollar.
Other states that receive little spending per dollar of federal tax are Connecticut (64�), New Hampshire (68�), Nevada (73�), Minnesota (77�) and Illinois (77�).
Though not comparable as a state, the District of Columbia is by far the biggest beneficiary of federal spending, receiving $6.17 for every federal tax dollar–more than nine times the national average.
Tax Prof sees a pattern: Blue states feed red ...
The report shows that of the 32 states (and the District of Columbia) that are "winners" -- receiving more in federal spending than they pay in federal taxes -- 76% are Red States that voted for George Bush in 2000. Indeed, 17 of the 20 (85%) states receiving the most federal spending per dollar of federal taxes paid are Red States.
In contrast, of the 16 states that are "losers" -- receiving less in federal spending than they pay in federal taxes -- 69% are Blue States that voted for Al Gore in 2000. Indeed, 11 of the 14 (79%) of the states receiving the least federal spending per dollar of federal taxes paid are Blue States.
