Defense lifts Foresters to win
Down nine twice early in the second half, the Foresters used their defense to hang around long enough to steal the 64-63 win on the road over the Titans of Indiana University South Bend.
HU got off to a great start knocking down its first seven field goal attempts to take its largest lead of the game at 15-8 five minutes into the game. The Foresters kept their margin between 3-5 points for most of the half, but some HU foul trouble allowed IU South Bend to close out the half with a 5-0 run putting the Titans up 32-28 at intermission.
IU South Bend continued to roll early in the second stanza and had a nine-point advantage at 44-35 with 15:14 on the clock. The Foresters chipped away at the deficit over the next five minutes and pulled within one at 51-50 at the 10:30 mark. The Titans scored four unanswered points to push their lead back to 55-50 with nine minutes to play. The two teams traded baskets over the next five minutes with IU South Bend taking a 63-58 lead on a Britt Rager jumper with 4:37 to play. It was the last time the Titans would score.
Jessica Ramey hit a layup at the 3:23 mark to pull HU within three at 63-60. Janna Knisely made it 63-62 with a jumper at the elbow at the 1:45 mark, and Betsey Bean scored a layup off a back screen to give the Foresters their first lead of the half at 64-63 with 1:09 to go. HU forced IU South Bend into a turnover on its next possession. With 39 ticks left, the Titans fouled Ramey sending her to the line for the one-and-one. She missed the front end, but Amy Berry came up with the big offensive rebound. The Titans again fouled Ramey with 23 seconds left. Ramey missed both free throws of the double bonus and the Titans grabbed the rebound and called timeout with 13.5 on the clock to set up their final play. The Titans tried to find an open look running players off two different double screens, but the Forester defense held and Stacy Spurgeon's running jumper at the buzzer was off the mark.
Ramey took game-high honors with 18 points on the day. Knisely added 17 and Bean finished with 14. Rager had 13 points and five rebounds for the Titans. With the win, the women improve to 6-5 on the season.

Immigration and the Bible
2012 Spiritual Growth Study: An Overview
This study shares the story of the Bible as a narrative of immigrants and migration. Exploring the Biblical and theological understandings of immigration, immigrants and migration, this study seeks to enable the participants to examine what it is to be a sojourner and to live into the biblical mandate of hospitality for "the stranger" and "aliens" in our midst.
The study seeks to equip participants to see the Bible as the ultimate handbook for responding to immigrants. The Bible was written by, for, and about migrants, immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers. It gives directions for responding to sisters and brothers from around the world who come to a land seeking safety, sanctuary and sustenance. It is also the book that many of our ancestors used to help them survive the stress and strain of integrating into a new country. The Bible offers guidance and direction for persons who migrate or immigrate by choice as well as for persons who flee because of devastation and destruction through violence or natural disasters.
The Bible is the inspired word of the migrant God, the refugee Christ and the Holy Spirit, who accompany us and every migrant, immigrant, refugee and asylum seeker. Scriptures provide the basis for practicing a theology of radical, inclusive hospitality. The study relates key insights from biblical texts to the story of immigration in the United States and to global migration today and examines key theological themes of migration and immigration, such as journey, vulnerability, liberation and hospitality, understood through select biblical narratives such as
- The story of Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar (Genesis Chapters 12-16).
- The story of Joseph and the migration of Joseph's father Jacob and his family to Egypt (Genesis 37-47).
- The story of the Exodus (Exodus 3:1-12; 13:17-22).
- The story of women and migration (Ruth Chapters 1-2).
- The biblical call to hospitality regarding the "stranger" and "alien" in our midst (Deuteronomy 6:10-12 and Hebrews 13:2).
- The story of Queen Esther.
- Jesus' life as an undocumented person in Egypt (Matthew Chapter 2).
- The faith community's call linked to being pilgrims and sojourners on earth (Hebrews 11:14).
The study engages the participants in the ongoing ministries of United Methodist Women and The United Methodist Church and encourages development of emerging ministries with the sojourners of today. Key examples of ministries are lifted up, including the service and advocacy work of United Methodist Women with immigrant rights and Justice for Our Neighbors (JFON), developed by the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR).
In the contemporary context of immigration and migration, the study raises once again the question of Luke 10:29, "Who is my neighbor?" It interprets Jesus' parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:29-37) in light of all those who offer themselves as neighbors, even though they themselves may be part of the marginalized community. The writer argues that in helping the unknown man lying dying in the dirt, it is very possible that the Samaritan reached out and touched the Son of God. He responded without regard to race, religion, ethnicity, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion. He was unknowingly living a Christ-like life. Welcoming immigrants provides an opportunity for functioning as modern day Good Samaritans. The study invites readers to become part of a radical, inclusive, hospitable community and to enable others to do likewise. Following Jesus leads us into lives of service with and for others.

Quick Reactions (Rounds 5): TE Mike Hoomanawanui & DE Hall Davis
I like the Rams pick of WR Mardy Gilyard in 4th round, tremendous value. He's a playmaker. Their next 2 picks: Zzzzzz
TE Mike Hoomanawanui: 6'3, 271 lbs
DE Hall Davis: 6'4, 278 lbs
Quick Reaction
The Rams had their "sizzle" pick at the start of the morning, bringing Gilyard aboard, but with these next two selections Devaney and company clearly were picking from the "steak" column. These guys are simply huge for their positions. Neither Hoomanawanui nor Hall should expect to make much of a dent on the stat sheet, as Hoomanawanui is in the "big beefy blocker" category of tight ends, and Hall is in the "big, slow, run-stuffer" category of defensive linemen. In fact, I could see him playing at DT sooner than at DE.
Meanwhile, though, Seattle regained their monopoly on draft-day sizzle, turning their fifth-round pick into the Jets' all-purpose weapon Leon Washington.
It is a sad day for TOJ and Jets fans everywhere. Leon was a fan favorite and an electric playmaker during his career with the Jets. Unfortunately, he sustained a brutal injury last year and had ongoing contract problems with the team. After the Jets decided to draft McKnight, a player with a comparable skill set, there wasn't any room left for Leon on the roster. I wish him the best of luck on a speedy recovery in Seattle and hope the rumors of him starting the season on the PUP list aren't true.
-- Turn On The Jets: "Jets Trade Leon Washington, Draft John Connor"As a Rams fan, you couldn't help but throw your hands up in dismay at the combination of events. Even if Washington has a long road back in rehab, the reward is potentially stunning for the relatively small investment. I find it really hard to believe that either of the Rams picks at this level will be that far separated from guys you could find in the undrafted list. The ceiling just doesn't appear to be that high here, even if Hoomanawanui has untapped potential in his big soft hands.
Well, there's always that.

So bubbled Alicia Silverstone's Cher the moment she saw Brittany Murphy's makeover-needing transfer student Tai in "Clueless," the hit 1995 film that helped launch both of their careers.
With Brittany's sudden death on Sunday at the age of 32, Alicia is speaking out about her onetime co-star.
"I always felt connected to her as we shared a very special experience in our lives together," the actress tells People magazine. "I feel love in my heart for her -- and hope she is at peace. This is truly sad."
Despite their easy onscreen rapport ("Cher, I don't want to do this anymore. And my buns? They don't feel nothin' like steel"), they "didn't stay in close touch over the years," admits Silverstone.
Still, "I'm so saddened to hear this news," she says. "I loved working with Brittany. She was so talented, so warm, and so sweet."

Next to changing wheels, I think exhaust systems are the most popular aftermarket modification done by most Corvette owners. We do this to get more performance, different sound, more attractive appearance or, all three. Exhaust choices are very subjective. Some like multiple chrome tips. Others like two, big, black outlets. Some insist on stainless steel construction. Some don't care what metal is used. Some like really loud exhaust. Others like quiet.
Personally, I like an exhaust which is powerful but quiet. I don't need to announce my car is coming but I do need to arrive and depart quickly.
Many years ago, I settled in Flowmaster exhaust products as those I like best. They are a great value, they always offer a noticeable increase in performance and you get that classic "Flowmaster Sound" which has pleased many a hot rodder over the years. I have Flowmaster exhausts on all my cars. One of them is a C4, a 1995 ZR-1, to be exact. The first performance enhancement I added to the car right after I bought it was the Flowmaster cat-back for '90-'95 ZR-1s (PN 17115). This system is generally the same as the Flowmaster system for '92-'96 LT1/LT4 (PN 17217) cars except for the locations of the connections to the engine. This modification worked well--I saw a 12hp gain on a DynoJet chassis dyno and I got that Flowmaster sound I like so much. The fact that, with a stock engine, the Flowmaster cat-back exhaust can make 8-12 hp more more the production exhaust which has quarter-inch larger pipes says a lot about the restriction in the stock C4 exhaust.
As the years went by, I continued to modify my car and the engine's power began to approach the 475 hp mark (my goal was 500 hp using stock exhaust manifolds and cats); I began to wonder if my exhaust was adequate. Three parts of the standard Flowmaster cat-back system might cause some restriction when used on a 500 hp engine: the connection at the front of the resonator, the somewhat small, 2.5-in pipe diameter (stock pipes on a ZR-1 is 2.75-in.) and the somewhat small volume inside each muffler.
The solution to this was to design my own system and have a good exhaust fabrication shop build it using other Flowmaster products. I decided to crossbreed a stock '96 Grand Sport's exhaust (for its 2.75-in pipes and rear crossover), a Flowmaster 2-into-1, 'Y-Collector', the resonator out of my existing Flowmaster system and a set of larger, Flowmaster 50-series Delta-Flow mufflers . My goal was another 10 hp above what I got from the Flowmaster cat-back.
The first step in this development program was to dyno test the car with the stock exhaust back in place. On the chassis dynamometer, a DynoJet 248H which I used for all of the development and testing, the car made 362, SAE-corrected horsepower at the rear wheels. I then removed the stock exhaust, reinstalled the standard Flowmaster cat-back and ran the car on the DynoJet, again. This time, the car made 380, SAE horsepower at the rear wheels, an 18 hp increase! Clearly, the stock ZR-1 exhaust is a big restriction and the Flowmaster exhaust system is an outstanding improvement. The question was: will a further reduction in restriction pay-off in an additional, practical power increase?
Gene's Mufflers in Downey, California does all my exhaust work. Actually, the shop doesn't have a 'Gene' and is owned by ace exhaust fabricator, Greg Coats. I've been testing exhaust components for a long time and I've learned there is a big difference between an ordinary muffler shop and a true exhaust fabricator. The differences are the experience, skill and intelligence of those doing the work and a little of having the right tools, particularly a wire-fed arc welder and a tubing bender capable of accepting three-inch pipe. Gene's Mufflers is that kind of place.
The first thing Greg did was cut the head pipes off the stock resonator and the outlets off the back of the stock mufflers then scrap what was left. Coats then turned his attention to the standard Flowmaster cat-back on the car, He cut the system just behind the resonator and scraped that piece. Then, he removed the resonator and head pipe assembly, cut the head pipes off right at the resonator, scrapped the pipes and set the resonator on the work bench.
Greg Coats reformed the outlet of the Flowmaster Y-Collector (PN 3004000) into an oval, shortened the collector, then installed it in place of the original inlet on the Flowmaster resonator. From a fabrication standpoint, this task was one of the most difficult and time-consuming of the project, requiring some planning and significant welding skills. We mocked-up the modified resonator in the same location it occupied before, cut the ends of the stock head-pipes to the right length, reinstalled the stock head pipes, then welded the modified Flowmaster resonator in place. Next, Greg hoisted the rear section from a '96 Grand Sport, manual trans. exhaust (which I'd purchased from a GS owners upgrading his exhaust) in place for a test fit. He cut the pipe ends at the proper angles and lengths then welded the GS rear section to the Flowmaster resonator. Once these pieces were in place, we reused the stock exhaust hangers at the rear of the transmission and ahead of the rear axle. This was done to simplify removal and replacement of the system and to preserve the OE exhaust's noise and vibration isolation features.
The Flowmaster 50-Series Delta-Flow muffler is intended for use on engines that put out a large volume of exhaust gases at a high flow rate. They are a three-chamber muffler with a case that is 17x9.75x4-inches, considerably larger than the mufflers of a standard Flowmaster cat-back. A 50-Series Delta-Flow is different from a standard Flowmaster 50-Series unit in that its rear chamber contains multiple, V- or 'delta'-shaped deflectors (as opposed to the single deflector in non-Delta-Flow units) which split, then reform exhaust flow in a manner that has phase shifts reducing acoustic energy. Generally, Delta-Flow mufflers have the same flow numbers as the equivalent non-Delta-Flow muffler but are quieter. The particular 50-Series Delta-Flows we used (PN 843051) have three-inch connections with the inlet offset and the outlet centered.
Greg Coats cut the mounting brackets off the Flowmaster cat-back mufflers than welded them to the 50-series Delta-Flows. This enabled us to use the stock, rubber-isolated, C4 muffler hangers. He, then, welded the new mufflers in place. A lesser-skilled muffler shop may insist that a muffler as large as the Flowmaster 50-series will not fit under the back of a C4 with a spare tire carrier, however, a skillful exhaust service shop, such as Gene's Mufflers, gets the job done by carefully tilting and turning the muffler until it fits in the space, then doing the right pipe bending and welding to get the Flowmasters to connect to the Grand Sport rear pipes. The last complex fabrication work was to modify the stock, '92-'96 exhaust tips then attach them to the Flowmaster mufflers.
With my new exhaust installed, I bid farewell to Greg Coats and the guys at Gene's and returned to my own shop for some paint work. The Flowmaster 50-Series mufflers are made of 409 stainless steel but they are manufactured with standard welding wire which rusts. The solution is to paint the mufflers with Eastwood Silver Exhaust Paint (PN 10020Z). In a decade of using Eastwood Exhaust Paint, I have found that product to be the best on the market for painting exhausts parts that see sustained temperatures below 400 deg. F. Generally, this means anything except exhaust manifolds, headers or catalytic converters. In my experience, when painted with Eastwood Exhaust Paint, parts on cars driven in areas that do not see a lot of severe weather need to be repainted only about every three years. That's good durability which I've not see with any other silver paint.
To reduce the amount of heat radiated from the exhaust system to the floor and then into interior, I applied Thermo-Tec Exhaust Insulating Wrap (PN 11001) to the pipes between the cats and the resonator and those between the resonator and the mufflers. Thermo-Tec originated the exhaust wrap product and, while there are less expensive imitators on the market, I have found Thermo-Tec to be the best choice in exhaust wraps. It quite effective in keeping heat in the exhaust and out of the interior and, provided you don't scrape the exhaust on speed bumps an the like, it's very durable. I use Thermo-Tec's Snap Straps to retain each end of the wrap. Snap Straps are a simple yet very secure way to attached Exhaust Wrap.
Finally, it was time to take the car back to the DynoJet and there was little question that, on an engine in a car putting down more than 375 hp, such a 'hybrid' Flowmaster cat-back works well. With my self-designed, Gene's-built, Flowmaster Delta-Flow exhaust system installed, I saw 390 rwhp for a 10 hp improvement over the standard Flowmaster cat-back and a 28 hp improvement over the stock exhaust. There are very few aftermarket exhaust systems capable of that large an improvement and none of them offer that much an improvement while remaining so quiet.
The beauty of this type of C4 exhaust is that, even though you have to buy a Flowmaster cat-back along with an extra set of mufflers, it's still price-competitive to some of the high-end cat-back systems such as Power Effects, Borla, B&B TriFlo and Corsa. In addition, the overall exhaust noise level, while louder than stock, is lower than many aftermarket systems. Lastly, the dreaded 1700 rpm and 3400 rpm resonance for which C4s are infamous, is reduced.
All said and done, a custom-built Flowmaster cat-back using 50-Series Delta-Flow mufflers works quite well.

Photo: Thinkstock Like most recovering addicts, I clearly remember the moment I finally hit bottom. I'd been strung out for months: sleepless, poorly nourished and hollow-eyed, but still manically active. No matter how dilapidated my body became, my favorite chemicals could always make me feel fine. Until one day, they couldn't. Hello, my name is Martha, and I'm a stress junkie.
Stress Abuse Stress junkies are people who, without even knowing it, use their own physiological responses as a mood-altering device. When we perceive ourselves to be in a threatening situation, we have specific reactions designed to help us either run like hell or battle for our lives: Our blood pressure increases (rushing extra oxygen to the muscles) and our digestive processes slow down (preserving energy). Naturally, there's a catch. Just like heroin or aerosol fumes, stress hormones have side effects that can kill you. Pumped into the bloodstream at high levels for long periods of time, these chemicals contribute to ulcers and heart disease, weaken the immune system, and leave us vulnerable to everything from automobile accidents to depression. Pick Your Poison Stress junkies indulge their habit in any number of different ways. My favorite methods include procrastination, perfectionism, obsessing about obligations, and inventing catastrophic fantasies about What Could Go Wrong. If this sounds like you, it may be time to examine your own addictive tendencies. But even if you're as unflappable as a Zen master, you're still dealing with stress junkies every day. There's your office manager who freaks out over every hitch in the workday. There's the friend who broods obsessively about appalling current events: terrorism, child abusers, killer bees—terrorism committed by child abusers using killer bees. The common factor that links these very different personalities is their single-minded devotion to repeatedly creating specific kinds of upsetting situations. Why would anyone do such a thing? There are several very powerful reasons: The emotional geyser effect: Most stress junkies have unhealed emotional wounds. The unresolved pain remains stuck in a sort of holding tank, filling it up until there is little or no space left. An explosion of anger or tears, like a geyser eruption, lessens internal pressure so that the addict can function until the pressure builds up again. The anxiety diversion tactic: Creating stress is an excellent way to avoid dealing with the frightening tasks necessary for personal growth. Safe in the familiar cocoon of these stresses, we become gratifyingly numb to the uncomfortable knowledge that we need to take on deeper, more significant challenges. The love hunt: This is a common syndrome for people who, in their formative years, never received much positive attention unless they were sick or hurt. Associating love with stress, they find a way to feel victimized whenever they want an emotional connection.

Max Moroff's third RBI of the night for the West Virginia Power was his most important, his single breaking a tie in the bottom of the 12th and giving the Power a 7-6 comeback win over the Hagerstown Suns.
It's the fifth win for the Power (5-2, 42-35) in its last six games.
Walker Gourley scored the tying run for the Power in that inning, when Suns catcher Pedro Severino's throw to first on a Raul Fortunato bunt sailed wide. Then Moroff's second hit of the night scored Jordan Steranka to complete the comeback.
The Power looked in control after taking a 4-2 lead in the first. Those runs came from RBI singles from Steranka and D.J. Crumlich and a two-run double from Moroff. But those were the only runs West Virginia would score until the ninth. Hagerstown (4-3, 42-32) scored runs in the fifth, seventh and ninth, the run in the ninth coming on a Will Piwnica-Worms RBI double.
Barrett Barnes answered for the Power in the bottom of the ninth with his third home run in a week, this one a rocket over the left field fence. The Suns struck back in the top of the 12th, when Crumlich's throw to first went astray and allowed Piwnica-Worms to score from third. But West Virginia mustered the two runs in the bottom of the inning to take the victory.
Pat Ludwig, who allowed an unearned run on two hits in the game's final three innings, got the win for West Virginia. Ludwig is now 6-0 on the season. Cody Davis took the loss for Hagerstown.
The Power hits the road to start a seven-game trip, which begins Thursday night at Lakewood, the first of a four-game series.

22 January 2009
A joint operation by the Government and the World Food Programme to avert famine in Karamoja and the neighbouring districts is underway, the state minister for disaster preparedness has announced. Musa Ecweru said the operation would cost about $64m to provide relief assistance to about 970,000 people in need of food. Addressing journalists at the Media Centre in Kampala on Friday, Ecweru said the operation would last up to October when the first harvests are expected in the region. [...] "Acute malnutrition is close to emergency levels and we have 10 months to go until the next harvest," said Ecweru. He said the operation would be carried out in liaison with the local governments in the affected areas. The WFP country representative, Stanlake Samkange, said the operation was also aimed at ensuring that similar food crises do not occur in the future. "That is why we need to place emphasis on medium and longer term solutions to hunger. We want people in Karamoja to become net producers, so that we can actually buy food from them for emergencies elsewhere in future," said Samkange.
16 January 2009
The Ugandan government and the UN World Food Program (WFP) on Friday announced that the northeastern part of the country is facing an acute food crisis that is likely to slip into famine if no urgent action is taken. Musa Ecweru, minister of state for disaster preparedness and relief, told reporters here that the situation is severe following massive crop failure and warned that the acute malnutrition levels are close to emergency. "When you reach Karamoja (northeastern region) you will see cases of malnutrition, the elderly are in dire need of support," he said flanked by Stanlake Samkange, WFP country director.

THE World Food Programme (WFP) has began buying food directly from small-holding farmers in Uganda to boost opportunities for poverty eradication. The UN food agency said in a statement yesterday that it bought $53m worth of food locally last year for recipients in Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and Eastern DR Congo. The statement said the agency plans to increase the purchases to more than $100m annually in three years. The country director, Stanlake Samkange, said WFP recently started buying food through the warehouse receipt system to increase direct assistance to small-scale farmers and support the Government poverty eradication efforts. "Buying food directly from small-scale farmers, especially at high prices, helps further by improving the quality of life for the poorest people," Samkange said in the statement.

Column: Tears of joy as Gonzalez finally wins one
Story Topics
The old pro was on the sideline, resigned to the fact that this would turn out like so many games of the past. In the 16 years Tony Gonzalez has played tight end in the NFL, so many seasons ended early that he couldn't expect this one to be any different.
If football is a cruel game, it had been even crueler to Gonzalez. No matter what he did, no matter how well he played, the end result always seemed to be the same.
He might be the greatest tight end in the history of the game. But he's never played in a Super Bowl, never even gotten to a conference championship game.
Incredibly, he had never been on a winning playoff team, something that was on his mind as Marshawn Lynch scored on a 2-yard run with 31 seconds left to put the Seattle Seahawks on the verge of a stunning comeback win against the Atlanta Falcons.
Even worse was the thought that this game would almost surely be his last. Gonzalez isn't doing a Ray Lewis retirement tour, but he gave every indication all season long that he would be doing something different on Sundays next year.
"I guess this is it," Gonzalez thought as he stood watching the final seconds. "Going out with a heartbreaking loss."
Not just yet he isn't. Not after collecting himself enough to run a perfect route and make the catch that set up a last-second winning field goal by Matt Bryant to give the Falcons a 30-28 win.
Instead of moving out, he's moving on. The Falcons are a game away from the Super Bowl, and if Lewis can fire up the Baltimore Ravens with his pending departure, maybe the Falcons can take some inspiration from a veteran so overcome by what happened that he cried.
"I'm just so happy right now I can't explain it," Gonzalez said. "This is playoff football at its best."
Interesting that Gonzalez could even recognize it. For years he played on teams in Kansas City that made the playoffs only occasionally and once there never won a game. Then he hooked up with the Falcons, only to be on the losing end of playoff games the last two seasons, neither of which he played particularly well.
He began making up for all that on Sunday by balancing precariously in the back of the end zone in the first quarter for the first Atlanta touchdown of the day. But it was the 19-yard catch up the middle when nothing but a catch would save the Falcons with 14 seconds left that might end up being the defining moment of his brilliant career.
No heartbreaker this time. The big guy finally had a big win.
"Probably the best catch I've ever had, even though it was one of the easiest," Gonzalez said. "Matt put it on my chest. It's the most important catch I've had in my life. I'll never forget it."
The Seahawks probably won't either. They had to figure the Falcons were going to the man quarterback Matt Ryan calls Mr. Reliable when they needed it the most, yet they could do little against a perfectly run route that gave Ryan just the window he needed to squeeze a throw in.
Neither will Atlanta fans, who, like Gonzalez, still had some agonizing moments waiting to see if Bryant could hit the 49-yarder for the win. While Ryan had a bad angle to watch the kick and listened to the crowd to see what happened, Gonzalez was sprawled on the turf, in tears as the emotions spilled out as the kick split the uprights.

Town Square
Chinese Restaurant near Mac's Smoke Shop circa 1960's?

I grew up in Barron Park- now live near Yosemite.
I believe the Chinese restaurant you are remembering may be the Golden Dragon at 544 Emerson. I think it was owned by the Leung Family.
on Mar 15, 2013 at 1:11 pm
Yup, it was the Golden Dragon! I've been googling Charlie Leung and came up with this blog. Fun! My mother and I ate often here in the later '50's.
I just ate some chicken soup (out of a can!) for my current cold symptoms. Immediately, I flashed back to the little cup of broth than preceeded the "American/Chinese" entrees! Entrees such as liver and onions as well as, chow mein.
Charlie gave me pink rosebuds on my 13th birthday... my first gift of flowers. Of course, I'll never forget this!
Where's Charlie now? I retired to the Big Island of Hawaii after 40 years in the SFUSD.

Welcome to Gouldians Galore!
IMPORTANT NEWS! A research paper was published by Dr. Sarah Pryke (researcher at Save the Gouldian Fund) with some interesting conclusions regarding female mate selection with respect to head color. The research, in a nutshell, shows that RH females will bias the ratio of the sex of their offspring towards males if paired with a BH or OH partner. They are also shown to have smaller clutches, less fertility, and high offspring mortality (particularly in the hens) when paired to mis-matched mates! This has significant implications when it comes to captive breeding programs and selective pairings between mis-matched head colors. Click here for the full research paper.
About Me:I started this website in an effort to pass on information I have learned regarding Gouldian Genetics and Breeding. Along the way, I have found many valuable websites, forums, and suppliers that have been crucial to my success. Hopefully you will find this information useful to your program, as well! The most important thing is to find what works for your birds; so if you do not find it here, I hope the websites available on the Links page may help you instead. I am currently a member of the following: I am also a proud sponsor and member of the Save The Gouldian Fund. There are less than 2500 Gouldians remaining in the wild. By donating directly to the fund, you will be making a significant contribution to their efforts. You can click on the logo below to view their site and read more about this worthwhile cause.

Reds have farm hands throw a ho hitter and hit a cycle in one night
Johnny Cueto goes 5 innings in a rain shortened game for a no hitter for Dayton.
Jay Garthwaite then hits for the cycle in a real ugly win for Sarasota. I wonder when the last time the same big league club had someone do both in the same night? That is pretty impressive.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority and Buffalo Police are investigating what caused a rollover that sent at least four to the hospital late Monday morning. Officials aren't saying at this point who was at fault for the rollover, or whether speed was a factor, though witnesses on the scene say the bus collided with an SUV at the corner of Clinton and Smith Street before ending up on its side. According to sources at the scene, the bus was carrying one passenger at the time. Rural Metro tells YNN four people were transported from the scene to area hospitals, two of them with serious injuries. Officials say this is still an active investigation. We'll have more details when they become available.

CDC in China
China at a Glance
- Population - 1,338,100,000
- Per capita income: $6.020
- Life expectancy at birth women/men: 76/72 yrs
- Under 5 mortality: 118/1000 live births
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Chinese government have collaborated on public health priorities that affect China, the United States, and the global community for more than 30 years. U.S. CDC focuses its work in China on HIV/AIDS, emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases, immunization, workforce development, noncommunicable diseases, risk communication, emergency preparedness, and laboratory quality and safety.
U.S. CDC in China: 2010-2011 Annual Report (1,250 KB / 16 pages)
China-U.S. Collaborations
U.S. CDC HIV/AIDS experts introduce innovative HIV detection and prevention strategies, advise China's National Free Antiretroviral Treatment Program and collaborate with the central and 15 provincial CDCs. These partnerships ensure thousands of persons living with HIV/AIDS in China know their status and have access to treatment, care, and supportive services.Noncommunicable Diseases
Recognizing the significant public health burden of noncommunicable diseases, the U.S. and China have initiated collaboration aimed at these leading causes of death. Initial areas of focus include behavioral risk factor surveillance, prevention and control of hypertension through sodium reduction and tobacco control.
Global Disease Detection Program (GDD)
The U.S. and China build capacity to detect and respond to emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases through these programs.
- Emerging Infections
U.S. CDC and China CDC experts work to strengthen public health surveillance, to prevent transmission of infections, and to improve laboratory detection of infectious diseases, such as acute respiratory infections, foodborne infections, and drug-resistant tuberculosis. This comprehensive approach helps China identify and contain infectious disease outbreaks before they spread globally. - Risk Communication and Emergency Preparedness
U.S. CDC is assisting China to efficiently use its resources to reduce mortality and morbidity during and after public health emergencies. U.S. CDC and its national and provincial partners focus on communicating effectively, increasing public health response capacity through exercises, establishing emergency operational plans, and training to support International Health Regulations adherance.
Field and Applied Epidemiology
Impact in China
- Helped conduct approximately 500 outbreak investigation since 2003
- Opened two AIDS clinical training centers to improve capacity in rural areas
- Supported China's National Influenza Center (CNIC) to become the fifth WHO influenza reference center
- Launched sodiumreduction projects in rural China
- Reached millions of Chinese citizens with health focused web chats
U.S. CDC's principal partners in China are the Ministry of Health (MOH), the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (China CDC), and the World Health Organization (WHO China). U.S. CDC's collaborative projects extend across China to build strong bilateral relationships between China and the United States.
Established in 2001, the Chinese Field Epidemiology Training Program (CFETP) strengthens China's disease surveillance, applied epidemiology, and response capacities. Through a 2-year field training program, CFETP has trained more than 100 of China's top epidemiologists to respond to health emergencies in China and serve as the public health leaders of tomorrow.
For more than 20 years, U.S. CDC has supported the Chinese National Influenza Laboratory to monitor seasonal and novel influenza viruses with pandemic potential. Now, U.S. CDC, China CDC, and the MOH are combining expertise on pandemic influenza preparedness, influenza surveillance, and rapid response to prevent, identify, and control influenza.
U.S. CDC works with Chinese public health officials to increase immunization and prevent disease, disability, and death. A U.S. CDC expert assigned to the WHO China office leads efforts to advise China MOH on all immunization activities and meet goals, such as eliminating measles, controlling hepatitis, and expanding immunization best practices.
