How will you honor the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. this April 4, the anniversary of his assassination? How about by demanding that Congress get out of Wall Street's pocket? How about by letting your representative know that you support economic equality and a just distribution of wealth in America? As Dr. King himself said, "This is America's opportunity to help bridge the gulf between the haves and the have-nots. The question is whether America will do it. There is nothing new about poverty. What is new is that we now have the techniques and the resources to get rid of poverty. The real question is whether we have the will."
With Congress about to begin the next cycle of budget battles – mostly focused on how much more pain to inflict on Main Street communities across America – a far different message is bubbling up across the land.
Simply put, the big idea behind the Robin Hood Tax is to generate hundreds of billions of dollars. That money could provide funding for jobs to kickstart the economy and get America back on its feet. It could help save the social safety net here and around the world. And it will come from fairer taxation of the financial sector.
Mark Pocan has spent the last 13 years in the Wisconsin State Assembly representing one of the strongest progressive districts in the state. Yet his political roots took hold in blue-collar Kenosha, Wisconsin where he got his start at age eight delivering campaign literature door-to-door for his father, a long-time city alderman.
Pocan learned about ALEC in the only way he could — he joined — making him one of its few Democratic members. Once inside he saw firsthand how it operates and then, much to the organization's displeasure, he let us in on its goals and strategies.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Wisconsin state Rep. Mark Pocan has been to several Democratic Party national conventions, but none as important for him as this one. Pocan is poised to succeed U.S. Rep. Tammy Baldwin, who is giving up her seat to run for the Senate. Although he faces Republican challenger Chad Lee in the fall election, an upset is highly unlikely -- Lee is vastly underfunded in the overwhelmingly liberal district.
State Rep. Mark Pocan has, since his election to the state Legislature in 1998, been a leader in the fight to educate and engage citizens with the struggle over the failed "free trade" consensus. While trade agreements are negotiated -- usually in secret -- by presidential administrations and voted on by Congress, there are highly significant consequences for states.

Sen. Ayotte: Hagel's record, statements make him wrong choice for Defense
Asked during an Armed Services Committee meeting about his views on preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, Sen. Hagel said, "I support the President's strong position on containment."
But that's not where the President stands. In fact, President Obama said last spring that, "Iran's leaders should understand that I do not have a policy of containment."
And in September, in a vote of 90 to 1, the U.S. Senate explicitly rejected a policy of containment toward a nuclear-capable Iran.
When Sen. Hagel was subsequently given the opportunity to correct himself, he fumbled: "I meant to say that obviously [the President's] position on containment - we don't have a position on containment."
At that point, Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) threw the witness a lifeline: "We do have a position on containment, which is that we do not favor containment."
Whether Sen. Hagel was ill-prepared, uninformed or projecting his own views, there's no question that the next defense secretary shouldn't need help stating our policy on one of the most serious national security challenges we face.
But on issue after issue, Sen. Hagel's testimony raised questions about what he knows, what he believes, and what kind of secretary of defense he would be. And in several instances, his views on critical issues fell well outside the mainstream of either party.
For example, although he acknowledged that Iran is a state sponsor of terror, and has in the past admitted that Iran helped kill our troops in Iraq, he defended his vote against designating the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization because it's part of "an elected legitimate" Iranian government. There is no doubt that peaceful demonstrators who were brutalized and shot at by the Iranian regime during the 2009 Green Movement would disagree - as would the families of U.S. soldiers who were injured or killed by explosives Tehran provided to insurgents in Iraq.
With regard to maintaining America's nuclear deterrent, Sen. Hagel last week backed off a Global Zero report he co-authored just last year putting forth radical recommendations that would gut our nation's nuclear triad. Its recommendations included a 10-year implementation strategy that would eliminate a leg of our nuclear triad by cutting all land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles, reduce the number of Trident ballistic missile submarines, slash the size of our nuclear arsenal by 40 percent, and establish a dangerous 24- to 72-hour window in which the U.S. could not respond to a first strike by our enemies - reducing our deterrent and encouraging our adversaries to initiate attacks.
When I asked Sen. Hagel about his report, he said it was "illustrative" and denied that it contained recommendations. Yet, on its first page, he wrote that these "next steps are possible and desirable ..." Sen. Hagel then devoted four pages to arguing why these "next steps" should be implemented.
In light of North Korea's nuclear program and missile tests, as well as Iran's march toward a nuclear-weapons capability, the policy prescriptions Sen. Hagel said were "desirable" in the Global Zero report are inconsistent with the administration's nuclear modernization commitments, undermine our nuclear deterrent, and are simply downright dangerous given the threats we face.
Sen. Hagel also made the illogical statement that the secretary of defense is not a "policy-making position" - revealing a startling lack of understanding about the role of the nation's Pentagon chief.
To the contrary, the secretary of defense is one of the most important and powerful policymakers in the U.S. government - the person the President turns to for guidance on running the nation's defense programs. If the secretary of defense isn't a policymaker, who is?
Sen. Hagel has earned the respect and gratitude of all Americans for his long record of service to our country - including his time in combat in Vietnam.
But the U.S. Senate has a constitutional responsibility to provide advice and consent on the President's nominees. And based on Sen. Hagel's record, his past statements, and his testimony last week, I can't vote to confirm his nomination.

Pittsford end regular season unbeaten
Pittsford ended their regular season unbeaten with 4 meets in the last 2 weeks. The first meet was the Senior meet versus Webster, followed by visits to Irondequoit, Rush-Henrietta and finally their big rival Fairport. The divers also had a big diving invitational with their top 2 divers qualifying for States. Throughout the last two weeks the Panthers broke pool records and school records across the county, a series of team and individual performances that are unprecedented. The team is peaking for Sectionals on February 13th and 15th and then States on February 28 at Webster Aquatics. Fairport was the last team to beat Pittsford in a dual meet and also the last team to win the Class A sectional title before Pittsford's run of 11 sectional titles. Pittsford knew they had numbers in their favor and they were not going to let Fairport get close. Pittsford won 110-71. Pittsford started strongly in the Medley relay with Arthur Fan, Koby Waterstram, TimoKrapf and Max Johnson winning in 1:41.08. Albert Xiao, Jack Thiemel, Christian Realbuto and Nick Catalano were third in 1:46.89. In the 200 Free it was the brother's Ransford with PJ winning in 1:43.02 and Casey taking third in 1:52.27, Jesse Bennett was fourth in 1:53.31. Another victory followed with Arthur Fan in the 200IM easily breaking 2 minutes in 1:58.00 with Jack Thiemel claiming third in 2:04.11 and Chris Evans fifth in 2:11.30. In the 50 Free Pittsford swept the board going 1-2-3 with Timo Krapf (22.16), Brett Eslinger (22.91) and Max Johnson (23.39). Pittsford had already built a commanding lead (44-18) and it was soon bigger with the Pittsford divers ready to astound the audience with their artistry. Sam Randall dominated the competition and racked up an astounding 326.60 points - a new Pittsford School Record. Randall was followed by teammate Sean Riley with 264.25 points. Randall and Riley both qualified for States at the recent Invitational meet and they were relaxed and enjoying the competition. Ben Goodfriend came in 4th with 213.55 points. After diving Fairport swam to their first victory with Alex LaPoint (53.39) outtouching Casey Ransford (54.46), Eslinger (55.53) and Chris Rudmann (58.10) in the 100 Fly. Krapf restored order with victory in the 100 Free at 49.80 with Roddy Hughes 3rd in 50.47 and Max Johnson 4th in 51.99. PJ Ransford followed up with a dominant performance in the 500 Free winning in 4:31.01, he finished a full lap ahead of his two team mates, Bennett and Catalano, finishing 2nd and 3rd in 5:05.46 and 5:09.05. Ransford beat the Fairport pool record that was set 30 years ago. In the 200 Free Relay Eslinger, Krapf, Hughes and PJ Ransford won in 1:29.97 with Realbuto, Rudmann, Cameron Ling and Johnson 3rd in 1:34.38. Fan dominated the 100 Back in 54.59 with Albert Xiao 3rd in 59.52 and Roddy Hughes 4th in 1:00.52. Pittsford had built an unsurpassable 110-46 lead and closed out the meet with a 110-71 victory. Pittsford only had 2 home meets this year so the Senior meet against Webster was a special occasion celebrating the 10 seniors that have helped the team get to a new level, most of them have been on the team for four years and some of them have done six years. Pittsford won the meet 104-73 with PJ Ransford breaking 2 pool records. in the 200IM he broke a record set by Fairport's Roberts in 2003. Ransford swam 1:55.03, then in the 500 Free he swam 4:29.34 crushing his own pool record by more than 10 seconds! At Irondequoit the Panthers swam to a 99-72 victory. In the first event the 200 Medley Relay it was a pool record breaking the 2005 record of 1:42.80 with the team of Casey Ransford, PJ Ransford, Brett Eslinger and Arthur Fan swimming 1:42.28. Later, Sam Randall broke the diving pool record set by Pittsford's Dylan Marin set last year. Randall closed his routine with 3 scores of 8.5. Pittsford closed their dual meet season unbeaten and are looking forward to Sectionals and States.

Pittsford continues winning streak, beating Penfield-Click here to see article
Pittsford Swimming & Diving were ready to restart their season after the holidays when Penfield came to visit. Penfield were unbeaten and ranked in the top 10 in New York State High Schools, but Pittsford were also unbeaten and determined to extend their unbeaten streak. Pittsford (6-0) prevailed with a convincing win over Penfield (6-1) 103-69. This was the first Pittsford home meet of the season and the boys were ready to impress, especially with a large number of alumni in the audience with many colleges still on their break. Pittsford started quickly with a 4.5 second win in the 200 Medley Relay. The Pittsford team had 3 seniors - Koby Waterstram, PJ Ransford and Timo Krapf joined by Sophmore Arthur Fan. Penfield narrowly gained 2nd in 1:46.50 with the Pittsford B team finishing in 1:46.91. The B team included Freshman Casey Ransford, Sophmore Christian Realbuto, Junior Albert Xiao and Senior Jack Thiemel. The Junior Varsity team were dominant going 1-2-3 in 11 of their 12 events, the only exception was the 50 Free where they placed 1-3-4. The Medley Relay teams finished within 4 seconds of each other with the teams of Evan Allen, Cameron Ling, Sahaj Kumar and Nicholas Pogharian in first place. The second team was Michael Xie, Eric Fan, Nick Wang and Jake Hoppa. The third placed team was Alex McPherson, John Betters, Dustin Zhu and Paul Kealy. In the 200 Free Pittsford went 1-2-3, but the real story was the battle for first. Roddy Hughes narrowly beat out Jesse Bennett swimming 1:54.16 versus 1:54.25. Max Johnson finished 3rd in 1:58.30. In JV it was also close with Alex Ruffino (2:06.43), Aidan Stanley (2:06.51) and Ben Johnson (2:11.20). In the IM Freshman Casey Ransford easily won in 2:07.09 with another freshman Liam Tanchick 3rd (2:16.87) and an eighth grader Tommy Magda 4th (2:17.49). In the 50 Free Arthur Fan and Timo Krapf went head to head with Fan winning in 22.63 versus 22.78, Brett Eslinger was fourth in 23.23. Eslinger was back in the next race (100 Fly) after diving and this time he dominated the race in 54.27, winning by more than 6 seconds. The 100 Free was a battle between the top 2 seniors on each team: Jeff Doser (Penfield) and PJ Ransford. Ransford won a fast race in 48.03 with Doser 49.74, Rudmann was third (52.75) and Gregory Sanders (55.43). In JV McPherson won in 57.05, with Erik Gross 59.49 and Pogharian 1:00.30. The 100 Back proved to be one of the closest races with Hughes featuring again. This time Penfield junior Greg McCord jumped out to a body length lead, but Hughes did not give up he gradually reduced the lead and with a final surge out touched the junior finishing in 57.93 versus McCord's 57.96. A result that was too close to judge, it could only be confirmed by the score board. In Diving Pittsford were clear winners finishing 1-2-3 with Sam Randall continuing to excel in his senior seaon. Randall won with 303.30 points, supported by Sean Riley (251.70), Ben Goodfriend (217.50) and Michael Thiemel. In the final individual event PJ Ransford won the 100 Breast in 1:02.69 with Waterstram 2nd in 1:05.02 and Ben Beldner 4th in 1:11.27. The 400 Free relays wrapped up the meet and Pittsford celebrated a convincing win over a strong rival. Next up is the Senior Meet versus Webster on 1/14 and at Irondequoit on 1/16.

Pucko's Perspective: Event supports diver's mother
These should be the best of times for Sam Randall. He's a senior at Pittsford Sutherland High School, the best diver in Section 5 who has already earned All-America honors, and the captain of the 11-time Section 5 champion Pittsford swim team. But these aren't the best of times for Randall. His mother is battling breast cancer. The disease is winning. These should be the best of times for Sam Randall. He's a senior at Pittsford Sutherland High School, the best diver in Section 5 who has already earned All-America honors, and the captain of the 11-time Section 5 champion Pittsford swim team. But these aren't the best of times for Randall. His mother is battling breast cancer. The disease is winning. Mary Randall is the Chief of the Special Victims Trial Division in the Monroe County District Attorney's Office. Cancer became part of her life three years ago. A double mastectomy, chemo and radiation treatments failed to stop it. The disease returned this summer as metastasized stage four cancer. The prognosis offers little promise. "It's devastating because most breast cancers can be cured and there are a lot of survivors out there," says Mary. "Mine is incurable but treatable, so right now I live like I have a chronic disease." Still, Mary sets modest goals. First and foremost, she'd like to see her son graduate this spring. Sam meanwhile refused to sit by feeling sorry for himself. He enlisted the Pittsford swim team to serve as an advocacy group for his mother, and helped organize a diving meet over the holidays. Teams from Webster, Aquinas and Brockport high schools took part in the competition. Five referees from Monroe County Swim Officials served free of charge. Wegmans, Mark's Pizzeria and Pittsford Dairy offered corporate support. Shirts were sold. Donations for the Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester were collected. Paint the Pool Pink offered the son an opportunity to thank his mom that few of us get. "It's a great feeling and I love my mom very much," says Sam. "I think this is just a little way to thank her for everything she's done for me. I thank God for her health every day she's still alive and every day is a blessing." Advocacy was in this case, a two-way street. "I think it's empowering for him, " says Mary. "I think he feels great that he can do something for a local agency that has helped me quite a bit. It's sweet. He has a giant heart and a kind soul. and he has always wanted to do for other people, so it's not a surprise that he wanted to do this for me. Not just for me, but for other people like me." This wasn't just about the Randall family though. The entire Panthers team learned a universal lesson. "The nice thing about doing something like this is it's making all the younger classmen start to participate," said Pittsford diving coach Mark McMahon. "Everybody had a job to do. I think the awareness is great because the more people who reach out and do charitable work, the better off we're all going to be." If you'd like to contribute to the Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester you can do so directly, or in Sam Randall's name through the Pittsford Swimming and Diving Booster Club at Pittsford Sutherland High School.

Pittsford Family Legacy
|view full size
Pittsford has a family and school tradition in Swimming and Diving. Many of this year's team have brothers on the team, or sisters on the girls team, or siblings that have graduated and even some that have parents or aunts/uncles that swam for Pittsford.
The Panthers are continuing their successful legacy of Pittsford swimming this year and are unbeaten with a 3-0 record. The boys are seeking their 12th consecutive sectional title this year. This week they visited Victor's new 8 lane pool and came away with a 101-71 win, then on Thursday they went to Gates-Chili for a 101-68 victory.
At Victor it was the first Boys swim meet so every event set a new pool record, including JV though those records generally lasted less than 2 minutes. Some of the varsity times that were set are going to be on the record board for a while.
The Panthers led off with a solid victory in the Medley Relay at 1:40.83 with the team of Arthur Fan, Brett Eslinger, Timo Krapf and Roddy Hughes.
The JV team of Evan Allen, John Betters, Sahaj Kumar and Alex McPherson won their event in 1:58.05.
In the 200 Free there were 4 Pittsford swimmers under 2 minutes finishing 1-3-4-5 with Casey Ransford, Jesse Bennett, Nick Catalano and Max Johnson.
In the 200 IM Arthur Fan dominated the event winning in 2:00.21 with his team mates in 2-4-5; Nate Topham, Chris Evans and John (Zeit) Kellet.
PJ Ransford returned from Senior Nationals and had back to back victories in 50 Free and 100 Fly.
In the Fly it was a close race against Brett Eslinger with Ransford pulling away in the latter stages; 52.69 versus 54.23.
Next up was the 100 Free and it was fast with Timo Krapf (51.03) edging Luke Shanahan (Victor – 51.70) and Casey Ransford (52.93).
In the 500 Free Victor won in a time of 5:09.01 with Liam Tanchick (5:20), Tommy Magda (5:25) and Nate Topham (5:27) gaining valuable experience as the team continues to rotate swimmers into different events.
In the 200 Free Relay the JV teams went 1-2-3-4 with Tim Kallman, Paul Kealy, Alex Ruffino and Erik Gross (1:45.34); Nicholas Pogharian, Cameron Ling, Evan Allen and Jake Hoppa (1:45.54); Nick Wang, Ethan Yung, Eric Fan and Tim Drake (1:47.33); Ian Marin, Dustin Zhu, Brennan Owen and Aidan Stanley (1:49.64). The Varsity race was considerably faster with Eslinger, Max Johnson, Krapf and PJ Ransford in 1:31.28 and Arthur Fan, Casey Ransford, Chris Rudmann and Roddy Hughes in 1:34.06.
The diving team of Sam Randall, Ben Goodfriend, Michael Thiemel and Sean Riley proved that they can also swim finishing in 1:47.36.
Victor's Paul LaRue (1:00.20) got a narrow victory in the 100 Back beating Chris Evans into second (1:00.30) with Zeit Kellet in 1:04.27 and Sam Roche (1:06.52).
In the last individual event the Panthers went 1-2-3 in the 100 Breast with Jesse Bennett, Koby Waterstram and Jack Thiemel.
The meet wrapped up with the 400 Free Relay, in JV the team of Cameron Ling, Evan Allen, Nicholas Pogharian and Alex McPherson set a new pool record, 4 minutes later the Varsity set a new one at 3:21.30. The Panthers team was Eslinger, Max Johnson, Arthur Fan and PJ Ransford.
At Gates Chili Pittsford set 5 new pool records breaking records in the Medley Relay, 200 IM, 100 Fly, 200 Free Relay and 100 Back. Each pool record was also a state qualifying time, an impressive start to the season as Pittsford works on peaking for sectionals and states.
The meet started quickly in the Medley Relay as they broke the record Pittsford set last year by nearly 3 seconds, the team was Arthur Fan, Eslinger, PJ Ransford and Krapf swimming 1:40.36.
The Panthers went 1-2-3 in the 200 Free with Roddy Hughes, Topham and Jack Thiemel.
In the 200 IM Senior PJ Ransford's closest competition was his Freshman brother Casey as they finished first and second with Greg Sanders finishing third.PJ broke the record by more than 1.5 seconds in 1:56.23.
Eslinger won the 50 Free in 22.33 and then it was the turn of Diving and the boys put on quite a show.
In a nip and tuck battle Senior Sam Randall was able to beat out Sophmore Sean Riley 264.45 to 258.30. The Diving team is very strong and it is going to be fun on December 28 to see them compete with the best of Section V. In third place was Ben Goodfriend at 212.80 with Michael Thiemel tallying 182.95. In JV David Petrison won in 151.85 with Sidney Taylor (122.90) and Michael Lillis (117.90).

PJ Ransford dominated the 100 Free with a state qualifying time of 48.71, Rudmann was second in 53.23 with Jack Thiemel third in 55.07.
Casey Ransford then won the 500 Free in 5:11.52 beating Chris Evans in 5:14.43, Zeit Kellet (5:22.25) and Ben Beldner (5:34.10).
200 Free Relay was the fourth pool record of the meet with the team of Eslinger, Max Johnson, Krapf and PJ Ransford swimming 1:29.91 to narrowly beat the record of 1:30.09.
The final pool record followed shortly as Arthur Fan swam 53.73 breaking the old 100 Back record of 54.43.
Eslinger closed out the 100 Breast beating Waterstram 1:04.60 to 1:05.70 and the 400 Free Relay team of Max Johnson, Casey Ransford, Roddy Hughes and Arthur Fan closed out the meet in a time of 3:40.07. All four of the boys relay have a brother who is also on the team – a family legacy.
The Divers are hosting a special Paint the Pool Pink event to raise money for Breast Cancer. All of the top divers in Section V have been invited. The event will be at the Calkins Road Middle School starting at 11:00 on December 28th, all proceeds will go to Breast Cancer.

NASHVILLE, TN (AP) -- The main House sponsor of a bill seeking to guarantee handgun permit holders the right to store firearms in their vehicles says he misspoke when he suggested that he routinely breaks the law.
Republican Rep. Jeremy Faison of Cosby told WPLN-FM (http://bit.ly/XEMKhi) that he's "carried a gun all (his) life," through he's never obtained a state-issued permit.
Faison told The Associated Press on Monday that what he meant to say was that he transports a gun inside his car, which does not require a permit as long as ammunition is stored separately from the firearm.
Faison and Republican Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey of Blountville are the main sponsors of the bill to prohibit businesses from banning people with handgun carry permits from storing weapons in cars parked on company lots.

In my opinion both sides have valued opinion in how this land can be used. Compromised is needed. The city leaders may be moving faster than we citizens have seen government move on other projects. City leaders are using Bush like scare tatics to panic city residents.
Mean while citizens,Friends of Pleasanton FOP are attempting to put forth an reasonable initiative for more open space. FOP has meet with the Auto project managers. It appears that both parties have agreed to agreed.
The S.J. SHARKS facilities at frist I supported , then the Sharks management team and members of the City Planning Dept. made an end run on grabbing the 17 ACRES of park for more Sharks parking during the 1ST city planning meeting.
So my opinion is we don't need a bad neighbor management team garbing park lands for additional parking. I don't support the Sharks facility any longer. I do support somewhat the Seniors housing with somewhat less common greens, allowing for more open space. But the jury is still out regarding our seniors being placed on the Livermore Airport flight path. The City should place seniors development in the Hacienda near BART. The rub I have is I don't think Pleasanton needs another sports park. Staples Ranch is a natural spot for a dry agriculture demo ranching and a Natural land scape Communtiy Reserve as a trail head for several Livermore Valley trials, trails to Iron Horse, Shadow Cliffs, Oak Hill, Collipe trails, Pleasanton Ridge EBRP, Spring Town Preserve, Los Posita College and some day Brushy Peak and then on to Mt Diblo State Park.

yet more NIMBY-ism from the usual suspects.
on Aug 10, 2007 at 8:07 pm
Rich claims FOP is making a "reasonably initiative". Initiatives are not reasonable. By their very nature they benefit the writers of the initiative since it is a way to create laws without any legislative debate (ie. compromise). The two initiatives are examples of the worse kind of this bad lawmaking practice.

The transition to an independent research career is often more difficult for physician-scientists conducting clinical research than it is for other researchers, as these individuals must balance both the demands of seeing patients with those of conducting research. The Medical Research Program created the Clinical Scientist Development Award to provide mentored research funding to early career physician-scientist faculty to enable their transition to independence.
In 2013 the Medical Research Program awarded 16 grants to investigators researching a variety of topics, including childhood malnutrition, pancreatic cancer and rheumatoid arthritis.
Since the beginning of the program in 1998, the foundation has awarded 218 Clinical Scientist Development Awards totaling approximately $94 million.

Paulo Grobel's Cho Oyu expedition has run its course and this first experience has gone well. François Damilano asked Paulo a few questions on 12 May, 2011, live from Kathmandu.
François Damilano : Paulo, first impressions about the expedition?
Paulo Grobel : The purpose of the first expedition to Cho Oyu using "steady progression" was to take stock and identify areas for improvement. I wanted to validate a few ideas I had about the organization and the execution of an 8000-meter expedition, especially: acclimatizing in a way that enabled us to reach base camp in good condition; organizing the CTMA for the transfers in Tibet and the transportation of the baggage from base camp to Advanced Base Camp using yaks, and; our plans for the climbing route and placement of the camps. The question all boils down to this: is my concept of "steady progression' possible on Cho Oyu and is it practical?
FD : And the answer?
PG : The wealth of information we gathered was good and we were often surprised by what we learned. Now we need to compile a complete report and put it online. This will provide us with a logbook of precise information and a solid base from which to begin the 2012 expedition.
FD : What were the highlights of the expedition you have just completed?
PG : We acclimatized in Nepal before getting to base camp. Yetmi was plagued by health problems from the beginning of the trip and decided not to continue. After two days of preparation we set sail. Marc, who is a clever and strong young alpinist, began to show symptoms of edema at Camp 1, which surprised us all. He reminded us of how fragile we all are when faced with hypoxia, even when we are really careful with acclimatization. But no worries, everything turned out well for him. We were alone on the mountain so we had to break trail and establish the route. Because of this, our days were quite strenuous. Michel was stopped at a passage of ice, even though it was equipped with fixed ropes, because he didn't have enough energy. Cho Oyu is far from being the casual 8000-meter peak that so many write off. On the final push, I didn't pace myself (too fast, poor hydration) and it cost me the summit. A very bad night at 7600m forced me to go down, along with Nemo. On the other hand, our teammates Gilles, Frank, Chhotemba and Rinzee completed the climb in very good conditions. There were six of us at the last camp in good shape both mentally and physically and four of us made it to the summit. Our success was small but it was real.
FD : So Cho Oyu, even by its normal route, is not that easy?
PG : It's a big summit, which in spring can be rated VII/AD (Himalayan scale) with a passage of ice and a short passage of class 2 to 3 rock at 7800m. And even if these passages are equipped with fixed ropes it still takes a special effort to climb them with a heavy expedition pack. Keeping a logbook on this particular ascent enables us to better understand the change in snow conditions between spring and autumn. I plan to write a detailed article hoping to describe the most affordable 8000er and the one best suited for a first experience at 8000 meters. Writing this would, without a doubt, reinstate Cho Oyu's true reputation and might replace the overriding conversation.
FD : Next step of the project?
PG : For the second stage of "The Cho Oyu Experience' in 2012 we will be making some seasonal changes because at the very heart of the "steady progression" concept lies the need for improvement. What are the requirements? When we're on the mountain, how can we carry only what is strictly necessary? How can we optimize the carries between camps? How can we prepare specifically for a trip to real altitude? Climbing an 8000-meter peak is a big operation. To make the climb to 8000 meters by "steady progression' requires careful preparation and perseverance. In consideration of these constraints, the experience is unique: an immersion of more than 15 days in complete autonomy at high altitude. It's an immersion that's radical and with no fooling around. To make a comparison, it's a bit like visualizing an around-the-world trip with a sailing crew … but without stopping to rest!

With winter on the way, our days have been getting shorter and shorter. And as we've reported in the past, earlier sunsets and later sunrises can mean extra dangers on the road.
That was the case in Pleasant Valley just 6 a.m. Wednesday morning. According to Trooper Chuck Allen of Nevada Highway Patrol, a car hit and killed two horses on Old U.S. 395 north near Andrews Lane.
He told us a woman driving a Saturn couldn't see the two horses crossing the road and she hit them. Then a short time later, a man driving a pickup tried to avoid that crash, made a lane change and again couldn't see the horses and hit one of them.
The driver of the Saturn suffered minor injuries. The driver of the truck wasn't hurt. Sadly, both horses died.
Trooper Chuck Allen warns we could see more of these types of accidents in the days ahead. "I think the animals that migrate in that part of Nevada are more confident in wanting to cross the road way because there isn't the noise of the fast moving traffic taking up all four lanes because they're up on the new freeway."
He said it's important to remember that on any and all highways and state routes in open range areas.
So he's asking all drivers out there to be cautious and stick to the speed limit. He said following those rules is important because Wednesday's accident could have been much worse.
"Very, very serious accident when you have a three or four, five to six thousand pound vehicle strikes an animal on the roadway. So we're very blessed this morning," Trooper Allen told us.
In this case, both cars suffered significant damage and had to be towed from the scene.
The accident did not hold up traffic too long. Trooper Allen said they had the lanes open by rush hour.

Anyone who has spoken to Jim Schwartz is likely to come away thinking one thing: He's a pretty smart guy.
Georgetown educated. Handpicked by Bill Belichick and Jeff Fisher. Schwartz was one of the first NFL coaches to dig deep into computer technology and statistical analysis before it became baseline study for teams.
And the Lions knew this when they hired Schwartz in 2009, as part of a crazy offseason coach-hiring frenzy that included big names such as Josh McDaniels, Todd Haley, Rex Ryan, Mike Singletary and Steve Spagnuolo. Only Ryan and Schwartz remain head coaches of the 11 head men hired that year, and Ryan enters a very important season for his future in New York.
Meanwhile, Schwartz is locked in — another sign of just how smart he is.
There was a very interesting (and perhaps a little contrarian) piece written by MLive.com's Anwar S. Richardson a few weeks ago that suggested Schwartz might have been best suited to wait to sign a new deal, that he was the rare coach heading into the final year of his contract with some real, true leverage.
The Lions are young, and the Lions are talented. They had a 10-6 record and probably were unlucky to draw the white-hot Saints and have to play them in New Orleans in the wild-card round of the playoffs. They enter 2012 as legitimate Super Bowl contenders.
Richardson's argument is that Schwartz could have cashed in with a deep run in the playoffs and perhaps a return trip to New Orleans for Super Bowl XLVII. And maybe he gave up a few bucks now by signing his contract extension, which was announced late last week.
But Schwartz did the right thing. For several reasons.
First of all, he has a great thing going in Detroit. By most measures, this team should be good for the foreseeable future. The franchise QB turns 25 a few days after the Super Bowl. The best receiver on the planet turns 27 in late September. The defense features impact players at every level and a potentially dominant line.
The NFC North might be a gauntlet, but better-tested teams tend to be better prepared come playoff time. The Giants last year emerged from the rugged NFC East. The Packers in 2010 had to best the division-rival Bears in the NFC title game to get to the Super Bowl. The Saints had two competitive teams in the division when they won in 2009. If the Lions are going to win it all, they will have to face off against the best and beat them squarely. Schwartz knows this.
But he also knows how much insurance means in the NFL. A week ago, I wrote about the relative comfort level of all 32 head coaches, from least to most, and Schwartz ranked ninth, just behind Gary Kubiak, in terms of being most secure. The fact that Schwartz was heading into the final year of his deal left some tangible doubt, even if everyone knew he'd be back no matter what.
Today, he would be even higher on that list, probably in the top three. Really, you could make the case he's the most secure coach in the league currently based on the extension, although he certainly wouldn't want to test that with a repeat of 0-16 from the year before he arrived in Detroit.
The point is that Schwartz is a bird-in-the-hand kind of guy. For a 46-year-old head coach who easily could get washed up in his own ego with the success he has had recently, this was a surprisingly deft, measured and (naturally) intelligent move.
If the Lions win a Super Bowl, Schwartz will cash in with his next contract. He'll sit on Detroit's shoulders for the next decade. He can have his endorsements and all that, any country-club membership or first-pitch assignment he wants.
But right now, Schwartz knows he has plenty to prove.
Hard to believe, but his record is still only 18-30 as a head coach. The Lions were in a pretty deep hole when he arrived, and eight victories in two seasons will sully your record a bit, fairly or not.
That's the thing about losing, too: The collateral damage is quite unfair. If Schwartz and the Lions go out and lay an egg this season — missing the playoffs would qualify — people would question the coach. All of a sudden that record, still double-digit games below .500, would come up. And had he not signed the contract extension last week, Schwartz's price would have dropped some.
Is there any real worry that the Lions could stumble this season after their meteoric rise from two to six to 10 victories? Well, yeah.
When they were bad last season, they were really bad. They had exactly zero wins over teams with winning records. Against playoff teams, they were 1-6, including multiple losses to the Packers and Saints.
Worse yet, the Lions didn't appear to be a mentally strong team at times. Tough and physical, yes — but the confidence shown in late-game turnarounds early in the season against the Vikings and Cowboys faded thereafter. They rebounded from back-to-back home setbacks against the 49ers and Falcons but became mentally unglued in losses at Chicago and New Orleans and for everyone to see on Thanksgiving at home to the Packers.
I don't think Schwartz signed his new contract — which probably pays him quite fairly; he's notoriously secretive about the details — with the idea that his young team is going to disappoint this season. But I do think he considered the possibility. This might be the kind of club that needs to fall, a la the 2011 Eagles, before it can climb to greater heights.
It's a win-win. The Lions keep their talented, erudite coach. The fans are happy. Schwartz is well paid. And if the team doesn't live up to expectations this season, there will be no talk about the coach's status going forward and the window will remain wide open for playoff runs in 2013 and beyond.
As far as everyone is concerned, it was the smartest thing he could do now.

As the rain turned to snow Thursday evening, VDOT hit the streets to salt and sand the roads. But drivers got a surprise when thunder and lightening filled the sky.
The snow started falling in Henrico around 6p.m. before moving Southeast. VDOT spokeswoman Dawn Eischen said Thursday that crews first began in the Western part of the Richmond district before following the snow Eastward.
As the snow turned to rain and back to snow again, VDOT warned drivers that slush could freeze over. VDOT's pavement sensors read the ground was at freezing, which could be dangerous for morning commuters.
However, VDOT crews won't start plowing until there is two inches on the ground. Thursday night, many commuters said they were expressing extra caution but weren't concerned enough to stay off the roads.
"It's worth slowing down," said Kyle Sherwood. "Better safe than sorry."
"I hope most people are staying off the road," said Steve Cullen. "I still need to get home!"
However, drivers had more than snow to worry about overhead.
NBC12 crews heard thunder and saw lightening overhead during the snowstorm. Viewers called and wrote in to report the sighting as well.
When an NBC12 reporter asked William Overby if he was surprised by the so-called "thundersnow," he replied, "We live in Virginia and we get bipolar weather so it changes up pretty quickly."

There was a massive turn out Saturday morning for the Right to Life march. Thousands of people gathered at the Louisiana Boardwalk to march over the Texas Street Bridge and into Festival Plaza. The group marched with one message: that one abortion is too many.
"Right now Shreveport, Caddo, and Bossier Parishes are the abortion capital of the state, there is no other joining parishes that accounts for more abortions. There's 2 abortion facilities in this area and together in 2012 they performed 4,003 abortions, that's almost half of the states abortion total" Benjamin Clapper, with the Louisiana Right to Life Federation, says.
"Just remind them of the tremendous opportunity pregnancy is to bring a life into this world" Bryan Gunter, a marcher, says. His wife, Trish, agrees: "I am currently expecting and I know what a blessing a child is, I have 3 others. Abortion does more than just kill a child, it hurts the mother as well, they live with regret and I think it does more harm than good."
Nearly 5,000 people joined the Right to Life march, starting at the Louisiana Boardwalk, marching over the Texas Street Bridge, and into Festival Plaza. "It was pretty exciting, my son had never been on the bridge before and he was excited to be up there, he thought he was on top of the world" Eric Mayes, a marcher, says.
The Right to Life Federation is working with government officials to try to limit abortions. "We want to pass laws to prevent the abortion industry from advancing their efforts, remember, they are making at least $450 off every abortion, it's a money making industry in Shreveport, and we want to use laws to stop that" Clapper says.
They are hoping more pregnant women will choose to visit pregnancy centers and adoption agencies. KSLA News 12 contacted one of the abortion clinics in Shreveport. They said that everyone is entitled to their own opinion but that they hope people can respect women's right to go to their clinic.

Cannabis factory found in garage
2:38pm Thursday 29th November 2012 in News
Police are appealing for information after a number of cannabis plants and associated equipment were found in a garage in Hampshire.
Officers were investigating reports of a burglary, which was reported at about 6.45am yesterday, when they made the discovery.
About 50 plants were found inside the garage in Fleet Road, Fleet, which is rented out, along with cultivation equipment.
Inspector Olga Venner said: "We would like to hear from anyone who has noticed any suspicious activity near this garage or who has seen people coming and going.
"If you know anything, please get in contact. Any information given will be treated in strict confidence."
Anyone with any information is asked to contact PC Phil Howe at Aldershot Police Station on 101 or call the charity Crimestoppers line on 0800 555 111.
A 28-year-old man from Chertsey, Surrey, was arrested in connection with this incident and has been released on bail until January 16, pending further enquiries.

Are we so stupid in Britain that we cannot learn the lessons of history? If we prohibit something for which there is huge demand then the price rises and violent criminals become involved.
If we introduced a legally regulated system we would solve nearly all the problems around cannabis. Science proves how much safer it is than tobacco, alcohol, prescription medicines and all other recreational drugs. The evidence is that where legal regulation is introduced, consumption by children and all health and social harms are reduced.
Doctors would be able to prescribe one of the most effective medicines that has no serious side effects at all. At the moment the government has given GW Pharmaceuticals an illegal monopoly on cannabis so they make millions out of a medicine that you can grow in your greenhouse for virtually nothing.
Independent, expert research also indicates that a tax and regulate policy on cannabis would produce a net gain to the UK economy of up to £9.3 billion pa.
Our present policy on cannabis is irrational, irresponsible and dangerous. Surely, this inevitable and long overdue reform will now begin to roll out across the world?

The world looked on in horror Wednesday night as death row inmate Troy Davis was executed by lethal injection at the state prison near Jackson, Georgia. The state-sanctioned murder was the final grisly episode in a judicial travesty that spanned more than two decades. It stands as a damning indictment of the entire political system and a shameful episode in the history of the United States. Davis issued a written statement before his execution, which read: "The struggle for justice doesn't end with me. This struggle is for all the Troy Davises who came before me and all the ones who will come after me."

The town board is expected to approve close to $20,000 in change orders related to the water filtration plant construction in Bedford at its meeting Tuesday evening.
Among the changes—additional costs incurred—are additional taps for sampling and overtime for painters to complete work during a second shift of work after fumes impeded other work progress on-site.
Kevin Winn, commissioner of public works, has said that such changes are "not unique for complex projects" such as the water filtration plant. Initially planned to be operational last fall, the plant is slated to go online in the next few months.
The board is also expected to discuss salary ranges for Recreation and Parks
Department seasonal staff and review a request to re-bid and modify snow removal contracts to identify the most beneficial rates for Bedford.
In addition the board is expected to approve the reappointment of Don Scott and Andrew Messinger to the Wetlands Commission.

Paxton (AP) -- A 10-mile stretch of eastern Illinois highway that's now home to almost a hundred wind turbines could soon see dozens more.
Chicago-based Akuo Energy USA and a Bureau County-based firm called Stewardship Energy LLC have applied with Ford County to build a 100-megawatt wind-energy project along Illinois 9. The site is near Paxton and about 30 miles north of Champaign. It would sit next to the 150-megawatt Pioneer Trail Wind Farm built in 2011.
The companies want to erect up to 49 new turbines over the next year in what they're calling the Dogtown Wind Project.
The project's application says it would cost about $200 million to build and produce eight full-time jobs.

Funding blow to independent
2:28pm Monday 20th August 2012 in Letters
I REFER to your article about the unfairness caused by political funding of Police and Crime Commissioners' election campaigns (August 16).
Ian Johnston has been unequivocal in stating that he is funding his own campaign. I think he is right to do so; as an independent candidate he is there to serve the people of Gwent, not a political party or any one section of the electorate.
I am not sure that the same can be said for campaigns that are financed by political parties?

The mother of a teenager injured during an incident with Philadelphia police is responding after she witnessed video of the confrontation.
We were the first ones to show the mother this video.
The police commissioner says it was released so the public can decide what happened at 15th Street and Girard Avenue.
But the mother of the injured teen says it shows officers went way too far.
"He just turned 16 New Year's Eve. And this is how he got to spend his New Year coming in? Being assaulted by the Philadelphia Police Department?" Ikea Coney said.
She could hardly contain her emotions as she watched surveillance video of a police struggle involving her son, Darrin Manning.
She was beside herself as we showed her the video for the first time.
"He was scared! Looking at that, I'm scared," she said.
The video – recorded on an automatic rotating camera at 15th and Girard – shows her son running across the street with friends just before a police wagon drives by.
When the camera comes back around, it finds Manning physically involved with an officer.
"He didn't do anything," his mother said. "He didn't have nothing on him."
The tussle continues for some time even as more officers and passersby show up.
Coney says at one point a female officer grabbed her son's genitals so tight that one of his testicles ruptured, requiring emergency surgery and a lot of time confined to a wheelchair.
"Would you want someone to grab your private area?" Coney asked. "That's not how you treat people. You took an oath to take care of us, not to harm us."
The mother added, "I want her to pay for what she's done to my child. That's what I want. Not just her, all of them, 'cause they were wrong."
Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey, at a news conference held to release the video Friday, said, "We want to know what happened."
Ramsey released the video to aide an internal affairs investigation.
"We're doing what we can in order to try to find out and piece together what took place," Ramsey said.
Police want to talk to witnesses and the driver of a white car on the left, among others, but most importantly, Ramsey said, "The person we really need to talk to is the kid – I mean the young man."
The family says that won't happen until the simple assault, reckless endangerment and resisting arrest charges are dropped.
"They want to speak to me, they speak to me through my lawyer. And that's how we're just going to handle that," Coney said.
The video does not show what started this incident. Police say they are looking for more surveillance.
We can report the female officer accused of assaulting the boy is on desk duty at this time, FOX 29's Dave Kinchen reported.

PICTOU — Guilty.
That's what the jury determined Tuesday in the trial of Christopher Alexander Falconer, who was charged with first-degree murder in the 2011 death of Amber Kirwan.
Upon hearing the verdict at Nova Scotia Supreme Court in Pictou on Tuesday, Justice Nick Scaravelli unceremoniously turned to Falconer and said, "It is the decision of this court that you be imprisoned for life without eligibility of parole for 25 years."
With that, Scaravelli closed his binder and left the courtroom.
Kirwan's mother, Marjorie, cried into her hands, and her husband, Donald, stared straight ahead.
The man whom 12 jurors decided had abducted and murdered the Kirwans' daughter while on parole for the 1998 beating and strangling death of a cab driver showed no emotion as he was led away.
The sentence was automatic.
After two years of unease for Pictou County, a three-week trial and two days of jury deliberations, the outcome was delivered in under five minutes.
Outside the courtroom, no one spoke of justice.
The Kirwans were ushered past a throng of media by sheriff's deputies. Falconer's father, Scott Falconer, and grandfather walked past the same crowd without comment into a cold and clear Pictou day.
Carrying five boxes filled with evidence from 37 witnesses, including six court-acknowledged experts, Crown attorneys Bill Gorman and Patrick Young stopped for reporters.
"Frankly, their verbal answers were non-existent," Gorman said when asked about his brief discussion with Kirwan's parents after the verdict.
When asked whether he is considering an appeal, defence attorney Mike Taylor said, "Not at this point. … An appeal of a jury decision is extremely difficult."
Then the lawyers left, and the foyer of the Pictou courthouse fell silent except for the squeaky wheel of a cart carrying documents.
"She was the light of my life," Donald had told the courtroom three weeks earlier about the daughter he tried in vain to teach to drive.
"She told me everything," Marjorie said in court of the daughter who was buried just days before the family received notice she had been accepted into a nursing program.
The last they saw of Amber was security camera footage from Dooly's pool hall in New Glasgow that was played in court. She was walking off into the dark on Oct. 9, 2011, toward Big Al's convenience store to meet her boyfriend after a night dancing with friends.
But when Mason Campbell arrived to pick her up, Kirwan was nowhere to be found.
According to the Crown, Falconer, now 31, plucked the 19-year-old from the road, duct-taped her wrists and took her out into Pictou County. In a messy camper used by his stepsister as a shed at 976 Hardwood Hill Rd., Kirwan was said to have been drugged and stripped naked.
Her body, found nearly a month later bound, naked and face down in a shallow grave less than two kilometres away, was too decomposed for RCMP forensics experts to take much evidence.
They maintain she was stabbed at least 10 times. From wounds on her arms and hand, the province's chief medical examiner testified that he could tell she attempted to defend herself. It was determined she bled to death and had a knife driven into her heart either after she died or was dying.
Court also heard that by noon on Oct. 9, Falconer found time to deliver beer to a cottage in Caribou and pick up one of the four New Glasgow women he was seeing and take her and her daughter to Thanksgiving dinner.
"He was everything to me," Jasmine Lawrence, another of Falconer's former partners, testified in court.
Throughout the trial, the Crown acknowledged that its case was based largely on circumstantial evidence because it couldn't prove a motive, a location where Kirwan was killed or whether Falconer was at her gravesite.
The unidentifiable DNA of at least one other male was found on a bloody tank top — which had both Kirwan's and Falconer's DNA on it — found in the back seat of Falconer's car.
"Two stellar police agencies chased down all the evidence, all the leads that they had, and all of the evidence pointed toward Christopher Falconer," Gorman said.
When asked whether gaps in the evidence would leave rumours circulating in the community, he said, "I could see that happening."

The Rapid City Police Department launched its summer pedestrian safety campaign. The rate of injury involving pedestrians in the city is more than double the state average. The hope is that the campaign will help bring the numbers down.
It can be difficult crossing the street in Rapid City.
"On a busy road like Saint Joe or Main it may be several minutes before a person is able to cross the street. The purpose of a crosswalk is to allow a pedestrian to have the right of way," said Captain Dan Rud, of the Rapid City Police Department.
To educate pedestrians and drivers the Rapid City Police Department kicked off a campaign to educate people about pedestrian safety.
"People will notice a wide variety of television spots and radio spots promoting pedestrian safety," said Captain Rud.
"I think it could work," said Kelsey Loftus, from Sturgis.
Loftus thinks it's a good idea, but she hasn't had any problems crossing the street.
"I haven't been hit by a car yet," Loftus said.
With summer around the corner, Captain Rud says now is a better time than ever to have the campaign. Because of the nice weather many people are out walking this time of year.
"It's important for drivers to be aware of that. And if they see someone waiting at the crosswalk to cross the street, they're required by law to stop," said Captain Rud.
Police officers already issue tickets to drivers and pedestrians who break the rules and the campaign will also focus on that.
"I think a lot more people will follow it if they are getting tickets for it," said Loftus.
Rud says intersection and crosswalk safety is a two way street.
"Both drivers of motor vehicles and pedestrians need to be aware of safety as people walk across the street...get from point A to point B.
It's a program aiming to keep everyone safe. The campaign will go until Labor Day and it's funded through a grant from the South Dakota Office of Highway Safety.
