Palo Alto, Iraq and questions about our responsibilities
Original post made by Andrew L. Freedman on Jan 23, 2007
I love it here in Palo Alto where I've lived my entire life. I did, however, live elsewhere when I served in the U.S. Marine Corps in the mid-'70s in ground infantry. While it's a different kind of warfare (and warfare training) than in the 70s, I can relate to what our troops are going through.
While attending Wilbur Junior High in 1969, I attended war protests at Frost Ampletheater, Be-Ins at El Camino Park and, like many others around me, spoke out and demonstrated in the people's protest of our government in sending troops to Viet Nam. I knew of 2 older brothers of acquaintances who had died in Viet Nam at that time.
I'm working my "second tour of duty" at the Palo Alto VA Medical Center. After a 20 hiatus working as an administrative assistant for some good Palo Alto companies, I came back to the VA 5 years ago. Just to brag a little, this is the best medical center in this area!
Like other federal employees, I've taken that certain oath to uphold the constitution and recently, I had qualms about whether I am fulfilling that oath.
In 4th grade at the original Herbert Hoover, I recall our teacher saying that it had only been less than 20 years since the atrocities in Germany. We discussed why the civilian population appeared to have done little while their government was invading other courtiers, killing innocent folks, etc.
What's happening now with our government obviously is not the same as what had occurred in Germany.
I don't know all the details. I just know that what is taking place in Iraq in connection to the U.S. involvement is somehow not right. And simply framing it as right or wrong, big or small, doesn't say enough. And I wonder now whether, in light of that oath, I have any other duties or responsibilities other than what I do now.
We live in such a beautiful community and I just don't want to lose sight of what our government (our representatives) is doing elsewhere.

As a fellow veteran (served in Vietnam as a navy SEAL, 1969-1972) I believe that we have a responsibility and duty to put great pressure on our democratically elected representatives to start the impeachment process of Bush and Cheney. The have used lies, forgery, bogus claims and deception to involve us in a completely illegal and unnecessary war that has caused thousands of American deaths, tens of thousands of severely maimed troops and an untold number of Iraqi deaths, probably well over a hundred thousand. This criminal Bush regime has made our country hated around the world and far less safe than ever before. These people are criminals who are trying to subvert the Constitution and reduce our civil freedoms. Any person, especially military veterans, who love what our nation stands for, should put all their energy into making sure that our elected representatives, Democrats, republicans and Independents, remove the Bush regime from power through the impeachment process and hand them over to the war crime tribunal in the Hague. It would be our greatest contribution to the nation.

Though I understand your worries, I can tell you that I have family who have served in Iraq, and this is NOT Germany.
Before you start making assumptions based on what you fear is happening because of the absurd media coverage, please talk to people who have actually served there, and ask yourself why our re-enlistment is highest for the ones who have served there.
My family members have re-enlisted in order to go back and help the majority of Iraqis who want us there, who depend on us for their protection while they struggle to get strong enough to defend their democracy.
This is different from taking over countries, by a long shot.
The relief in Iraq is palpable, that at last the US is going to use its strength to stop the violence. They were starting to wonder if we were going to abandon them, again, to the violent fascists who want to take over their country. ( Like we did in 91)
The relief in the military is incredible. At last they are given enough people to stop the violence.
Think of it this way, ..when we went to New Orleans to stop the ( supposed) violence there, were we being like Germany, or were we helping to keep people alive until they could get back on their own feet.
on Jan 23, 2007 at 2:02 pm
Albert, thank you for your service back in 69-72
Please remember that the military is all volunteer now, and much more educated than the general population.
Twice as many children of Congress are in the military than are children of the general population. I don't think our Congress' children are uneducated or unintelligent.
They are not enlisting because of a draft, but out of desire.
They are not re-enlisting for lies.
They understand better than about 1/2 of the US why we went in and what the incalculable cost to our security will be if we fail there, ..translation, pulling out before the democracy of Iraq is strong enough to defend itself and not fall into dictatorship.
Iraq has had 3 full elections already, for their constitution, their parliament, and their president. 80% of the adults voted in their last election under threat of death. When have we done that in the last 150 years, if ever?
For the first time, ever, in a Muslim Middle East country, not only is there full democracy, but women have full participation.
They are almost fully operational in police and military. They had the first real, transparent trials they have had, ever, in the last few months. They are an educated peoples willing to fight and die for democracy in their country.
All since March, 2003, faster than any democracy has ever become operational in the history of democracy.
This is not Vietnam.

UK works for UN resolution on Syria
6:51pm Monday 3rd February 2014 in National News © Press Association 2014
The UK is working with international partners to draw up a new United Nations security council (UNSC) resolution on Syria in response to the deteriorating humanitarian situation.
Foreign Secretary William Hague said there was a "compelling" case for the UNSC to take a fresh look at the issue following the "barrel bomb" attack on Aleppo.
He condemned the "grotesque and utterly unacceptable" situation in Homs and other besieged areas, where president Bashar Assad's regime have been accused of trying to starve the population into submission.
The Foreign Office confirmed that efforts to bring the issue back for discussion by the UNSC had begun.
"We are working with partners on a text which we hope to present later this week," the spokesman said.
Speaking after a meeting with German counterpart Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Mr Hague said: " I deplore the reported killing of over 80 people in Aleppo this weekend, by the regime deliberately unleashing barrel bombs on the civilian population.
"It comes on top of the deliberate starvation of civilians in Homs and other besieged areas, which is grotesque and utterly unacceptable.
"The United Kingdom also believes that there is a compelling case for bringing the humanitarian situation back under discussion in the security council. I have discussed with the (German) foreign minister today this and other steps to ensure that aid reaches all those in Syria who need it.
"Both our countries are making a strong practical contribution to the destruction of Syria's chemical arsenal. We call on the Russian government to urge the regime to accelerate the work to deal with its chemical weapons and related material.
"And we will continue to work together in support of the Geneva II process - including the full participation for Syrian women, which we have long called for."

KCI Airport Terminal B Roadwork to Occur Again This Weekend
Delta and Southwest Customers Urged to Allow Extra Time
Nearing completion is the $2.8 million project on the Terminal B roadway system, medians, bus shelters and garage pedestrian tunnels at Kansas City International Airport. Delta Air Lines and Southwest Airlines operate from Terminal B. Milling and paving requires the closure of traffic lanes and access to some areas of the terminal curb and commercial medians. To minimize inconvenience to customers, this work was scheduled to be done in large sections during off-peak times.
Weather permitting the work will resume Saturday at 2:00 p.m. and end early Sunday Morning. Since traffic may be congested at times, KCI Airport users are urged to allow extra time and patience when using the airport during this time. Signs, Airport Police and other personnel will be on hand to aid and direct customers.
During construction contractors will close either the three commercial lanes closest to the garage or all three traffic lanes along the terminal curb. When the commercial lanes and median are closed limos and shuttle buses will be added to the regular mix of vehicles at the terminal curb, so there could be heavy congestion at the curb. When the terminal lanes are closed there will be no direct curb access Customers may be picked up and dropped at other areas at the terminal.
Related construction in Terminal A will occur in 2011 and work in Terminal C will be conducted as needed.
The Kansas City Airport System is an Enterprise Fund Department of the City of Kansas City, Mo., and is supported wholly by airport user charges. No general tax fund revenues are used for the administration, promotion, operation, or maintenance of the airports in the system. Visit www.flykci.com for more information.

"Experience a great meal on the boardwalk at Olde Salty's"
Olde Salty's is located on the Oceanfront side of the Carolina Beach Boardwalk.
By: Candace Lookingbill
Staff Writer
Through hurricanes in the past years, even when walls were out and three feet of sand was throughout the building the Olde Salty's Restaurant is still standing and ready to serve residents and tourists of Carolina Beach. This ocean front restaurant on the boardwalk, own by Brenda Ames for 20 years, is open year round, seven days a week. The menu has recently been changed, and new appetizers have been added. Some appetizers that are available are crab dip, calamari stix and shrimp jammers to name a few.
There is a signature burger, the Olde Salty Burger and it is served with grilled onions and peppers with two cheeses on Ciabatta bread. Sandwiches are served with fries, chips or you can substitute for onion rings for an additional amount. A sign of a southern-style restaurant is when fried green tomatoes are offered on the menu, and they are, as an appetizer or as a side dish.
There is a great selection of seafood, from fried catfish, grilled salmon steak to steamed crab legs. The dinners are served with two side dishes. She hand cuts the rib eyes and pork chops there. The Blue Plate Special is a dinner that is under $10 and is a choice of fried seafood served with fries and slaw. There is soft shell crabs lightly breaded and fried golden brown and with a choice of two side dishes for $14.75.
Ames says, "If I won't eat it, I won't serve it." She prides herself with serving food that looks and tastes good and she says it has to be fresh. And, do not be surprised if there is a new item added to the menu.
There are daily food and drink specials. The full service bar has beer, a great selection of wine and variety of alcohol, ready for your favorite drink or cocktail. There is also outdoor seating if you want to enjoy the ocean breeze.
For later in the day, there is Olde Salty's "A Little on the Side" which is a late night bar and game room. There is a pool table and shuffle board there for you to enjoy playing a game or two. But, you must be 21 years old to go into this bar. It is open from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m.

(WMC TV) - The 75-watt incandescent bulb is ancient history.
The feds have phased it out in the name of energy savings, just like they did with the standard 100-watt bulb last year.
Consumer Reports tested and researched the new energy-saving LED 75-watt bulbs, now in stores. They are expensive: an average $40 a bulb! But Consumer Reports said the sticker-shock wears off when you discover how long they last.
"If you buy a bulb and put it in your baby's nursery, you're probably not going to have to change that bulb until Junior's ready for college," said Celia Kuperszmid Lehrman, deputy editor of home & garden for Consumer Reports.
Consumer Reports' testers shed months off the calendar putting the 75-watt LED's to the test. They said they found a few duds, but most of the bulbs remained as bright as Day 1.
Testers said the LED's use about 75 percent less energy than standard 75-watt bulbs.
Lehrman said when shopping LED's, check the box for the word "lumens." That's the bulb's brightness. The 75-watt should sport "1100 lumens."
You should also check the bulb's color temperature. The lower the temperature, the warmer the bulb.
"Is it a nice, warm yellow? Is it white? Or is it blue, which is really not that flattering," Lehrman said.
Consumer Reports recommended the Phillips Ambient 75-watt LED. Its price is right around the average for 75-watt LED's: $40. But remember, they last for years. Lehrman estimated the Phillips Ambient LED will actually save a consumer about $130 over the bulb's lifetime.

With the hurricane season just days away, officials in New Orleans and across Louisiana are revising emergency plans, fortifying the levee system and preparing residents for the worst.

They still love to party in New Orleans. It's just that lately the laughs come kind of hard. The Mardi Gras season that wraps up this week will have consisted of just eight days of parades and whatever gamy fun goes with them. In most years, it goes on for 12. Marching bands have been in short supply, their members still scattered to Houston and Atlanta. The crowds along the parade routes have been sparser too. On the bright side, that has made it easier to score the strands of colored beads flung by people on parade floats. Hustle, and you could grab 50 or so in just a few hours. Making the most of misfortune -- that's a very New Orleans thing to do.
Finger-pointing that began after Hurricane Katrina over who was responsible for maintaining the levees in New Orleans continued at a Senate hearing Thursday.
In an effort to ensure the levee breaches that put much of New Orleans, Louisiana, underwater after Hurricane Katrina don't happen again, the Bush administration announced Thursday it will spend $3.1 billion to repair the system and make it "stronger than it ever has been."
Hurricane Katrina and the flooding that followed devastated many homes, buildings and, in some cases, entire neighborhoods, leaving residents and government officials to decide whether -- and how -- to rebuild.

In New Orleans, the Army Corps of Engineers was repairing levees damaged by Hurricane Katrina, which struck the city on August 29 and caused massive flooding.
The levee system in New Orleans is getting global attention because of the breaks caused by Hurricane Katrina, and now Hurricane Rita. And some engineers say those two disasters should prompt a new look at critical infrastructure.
Metropolitan New Orleans was included in a tropical storm warning Thursday, as the Army Corps of Engineers fretted over how much rain the city's fragile levees could take.
New Orleans, which flooded when many of the levees and flood walls protecting the city failed after Hurricane Katrina, is mostly drained, an Army colonel told CNN on Tuesday night.
Nearly three weeks after Hurricane Katrina ruptured New Orleans' levees, turning most of the city into a lake as deep as 20 feet in places, officials said water was draining much faster than expected.
Defending the U.S. government's response to Hurricane Katrina, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff argued Saturday that government planners did not predict such a disaster ever could occur.

Okajima highlights baseball clinic
Left-hander joins Sox's coaching staff to spread love of game
TOKYO -- As the Red Sox went through Monday's off-day workout at Tokyo Dome, they had a most captive audience. About 120 Japanese youngsters were seated in the third-base dugout, paying close attention to how some of the best players in the world swing the bat.
Once the workout was complete, the youths -- many of whom were decked out in Red Sox T-shirts with Daisuke Matsuzaka's name on the back -- got to have their real fun, taking part in a clinic with Boston's coaching staff, not to mention left-hander Hideki Okajima.
The unique clinic was set up by the Red Sox's partnership with State Street.
Sox manager Terry Francona greeted the group just prior to the clinic, as did Okajima.
To say that the young players looked awed would be an understatement.
"For these kids to meet Okajima, I'm hoping this is exciting for them," said Francona. "Our coaches will do a good job with them. They'll have some enthusiasm. We're supposed to be ambassadors for baseball. Hopefully this is something that will do something like that, because the kids do look enthusiastic, and that's great."
The coaches were set up at various stations throughout Tokyo Dome's field. There were translators for each coach. Third-base coach DeMarlo Hale was in charge of baserunning.
"It's a very important part of the game," Hale told the kids. "This is where we score the runs at. We'll do straight line running, how we're going to touch the bag, and also the turns we're going to make at first."
Pitching coach John Farrell had his pitchers lined up and went through the full mechanics of both the windup and stretch deliveries.
"Drop, drive and release," said Farrell. "Bend your back."
Hitting coach Dave Magadan went through all the fundamentals of a good swing.
"There's a lot of different ways to hit," said Magadan. "I fully believe if you keep your head still, you create that separation and have balance."
Jay Monahan of Fenway Sports Group helped coordinate the event.
"These kids are wired," said Monahan. "I walked out like an hour ago and they were already lined up. That's what makes the partnership between the Red Sox and State Street great. They wanted to do this, we wanted to do it and it's a very simple, easy thing to do, and to do well."

To the editor:
Rock Kingpin Boomers, what you heard through the grapevine is true — the music you came of age with in the 1960s is back and it's better now than what you got back then.
The rhythms have reincarnated in a really groovy chick named Jenny Dee (D'Angora).
Boston music critics have voted Jenny best Massachusetts female vocalist, but, as far as I'm concerned, that title needs to be extended to national, international and far, far out to inter-galactic.
However, it must be revealed that Jenny is a notorious rock kingpin and has unabashedly named her group/gang the "Deelinquents."
Jenny's gang has quite a record (and a CD as well). They are clearly guilty — guilty of making music so great that it makes it a crime of the first degree to miss hearing them perform and an even greater offense not to dance.
Don't let this happen to you. Be sure to catch Jenny Dee and the Deelinquents playing right here in our own Milky Way galaxy at Gloucester's Rhumb Line for three full sets Friday night starting at 9:30.
And you kids of the X, Y & Z generations who missed out on the Woodstock era, this is your chance.
You come, too — and be sure to wear a flower in your hair.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A black duiker at the San Diego Zoo has more than tripled its weight since its birth in December, zoo officials said Wednesday.
Rashidi, a member of the horned-mammal species native to Africa, weighed 5 pounds when he came into the world seven weeks ago, but is now up to 17 pounds, according to the zoo.
He's the second offspring of Robin and Luke. Their first, Kodi, was the first black duiker born at the San Diego Zoo and now resides at the Safari Park.
Keepers report that Rashidi has bonded well with his parents. He nursed from his mother for the first few weeks but now eats solid foods.
The young duiker's diet primarily consists of fresh fallen leaves, alfalfa hay and diced squash and yams. Rashidi particularly enjoys acacia leaves, which keepers often put out for him around his exhibit.
Rashidi, Robin and Luke share their exhibit space with two okapis, a much-larger species closely related to giraffes. Rashidi can be seen spending time near his okapi exhibit mates, exploring his exhibit, chasing after his parents and nibbling on acacia leaves.
Duikers get their name from the Afrikaans word "duikerbok," which means "diving buck." When frightened, they tend to dive into bushes to hide.
The species is near threatened in the wild, mainly due to natural predators and agricultural burn off, making Rashidi's birth significant for the genetics of the species, zoo officials said.

The latest Truth-O-Meter items from Leroy Chapman
Georgia ranks "last in job growth."
"The latest unemployment numbers have shown that nearly 315,000 Americans have simply given up hope when it comes to finding a job."
"[A]n extra 8 million Americans [are] projected to join state Medicaid programs in the next few years."
"If our recovery were more typical of the postwar era . . . we would have 14 million more jobs today."
Ben Bernanke has been the most "inflationary" chairman in the history of the Federal Reserve.
The Northwest Corridor highway project in Cobb and Cherokee counties "is expected to create over 9,700 jobs statewide."
"[T]his breed (of pit bulls) is most often associated with aggressive behavior."
Recent stories from Leroy ChapmanHerman Cain's golden oldies
(Editor's note: With the Iowa caucuses only two months away, PolitiFact Georgia will dedicate this week to summaries of key fact-checks on the leading GOP candidates as well as President Barack Obama's performance on his 500 campaign promises. Today we look at Herman Cain.)
Want to comment on our findings? Visit us on Facebook.
The 9-9-9 plan "does not raise taxes on those that are making the least."
Herman Cain made this claim to defend his tax plan against accusations it would raise taxes on the middle class and poor during the Oct. 18 Republican presidential primary debate in Las Vegas.
His plan includes a 9 percent income tax, a 9 percent sales tax and a 9 percent business tax.
Based on what Cain's campaign has said about the plan, the only exemptions on the income tax will be for charitable deductions and for undefined "empowerment" zones that would encourage development in inner cities. The 9 percent sales tax would exclude used goods. Payroll taxes on workers would go away.
The Tax Policy Center, an independent policy group that includes tax analysts who have worked in both Democratic and Republican administrations, found that high percentages of lower-income tax filers would see tax increases.
Cain's campaign may release more details on his plan that could change this picture, but knowing what we know now, his claim is False.

Uploaded Avatar Quality
I set the full size of all new avatars to 650×250 via bp-custom.php and the crop tool works great Only problem is the image appears pixilated after cropping. Doesn't seem to matter if the image was created exactly to size at 72 dpi or if the uploaded image was much larger. Is there a quality setting somewhere I can edit? I double checked and the image isn't being re-sized via CSS or anything like that. I don't see anything jumping out at me in bp-core-avatars.php to modify either. Any idea on this?

Same scam in a bright new package: a handful of people will get filthy rich on state money, and the thing will never ever be able to pay for itself.

Hey, we are finally getting BART into Silicon Valley, the outskirts I should say, when the new line opens in 2018!!! We are also getting a new 49er Stadium in Santa Clara which will open in September of 2014 (I assume).
And perhaps by the time HSR begins operation I will be too old to want to use it, or have reason to use it. Interesting how all this will play out when construction finally does start...

Same nonsense from the same luddites who will raise every objection to a simple project that has paid dividends many times over in countries that had the cojones to override the nimbys and naysayers and just build it, which includes Germany, France, Japan, China, Spain, Belgium and the Skandinavian countries. Many of them have economies that are far more durable than ours because they have spend the money to build infrastructure that - like the interstate highway did for the US - has lifted all of their economic boats.
This latest compromise only benefits the politicians. Very name High-Speed Rail, includes "High Speed" in it. You can't beat the law of averages. If you have a 100-mile trip done at 100mph and then bookend that with two 10-mile trips done at 20 mph, you double the length of the trip. By relying on local rail services to get riders to their destinations at both ends, you will add up to two hours to what was supposed to be a 3-hour trip, making it more like driving.
Nowhere in the world has any agency been stupid enough to try this, because they knew it would erase the very reason that people would use the HSR, which is supposed to connect urban centers with fast rail, not outer suburbs of those urban centers. With demographics showing that people are not moving out to suburbs like they used to this decision is even more ridiculous. The only thing this "compromise" will accomplish is prove the naysayers right - nobody will be riding the HSR because they won't be able to get to it fast enough.
Don't get me wrong: electrifying Caltrain is great - as a local commuter rail system, not a replacement for HSR along the peninsula.

re: "Many of them have economies that are far more durable than ours.."
If we ignore that pesky Euro crisis.

Spain has over 20% unemployment. And over 25% for young adults.
But at least a lot of the hardware and technology (equals jobs) will be coming from Japan, France and China. So I guess those countries will benefit from CA HSR.

"First of all, I miss each of you so much!! Secondly, I want to make sure I thanked you all for your help, knowledge, and skills throughout grad school. Having only been in my new position for going on four weeks, I have already used almost everything each of you have taught me – and I know I will only continue to use more. Your collective knowledge has made the two years I spent at the University of Maine incredibely useful and relevant and, as I said, it's only been three weeks. Everyday I feel like I am in Capstone researching my every move and finding theoretical frameworks to ground my decisions. The tools I was given through the Student Development in Higher Ed program as well as the Division of Student Affairs at UMaine have allowed me to jump right in to GW and make decisions and produce ideas that are grounded in theory and education. Sooo… Thank You!!!!!
When people complain in class that you're making them do too much, tell them to shut their mouths and pay attention because every piece of knowledge you all have given me has made me a competent and confident individual in the work place. For all of this, I owe you all so much."
-Justina DeMott
"My experience in the Student Development in Higher Education program was definitely a positive one. The internship experiences I had both on campus and off were invaluable. Having those real world experiences have been of enormous help while transitioning into a professional position. Between the internship experiences, coursework, and professional development opportunities I gained while at the University of Maine, I really feel like I am an asset to my employer and team at Emory University."
-Lauren Hayden Dyer, M.Ed. 2008
"As a graduate of the Higher Education program at the University of Maine I am very thankful for the one-on-one attention and dedication I received from my professors and especially my advisor. The faculty really took their time to get to know me and help me focus on my individual goals both in and outside of the classroom. They gave me the tools I needed to start a successful career after graduation."
-Victoria Caron, M.Ed., 2009
"I am proud of my doctoral experience at the University of Maine. The faculty had high expectations of and support for students, and were incredibly motivating, exposing me to new ideas. In one course, through a research assignment, I was inspired to think differently about the role of policy as a strategy in higher education and was introduced to theories of discourse—this fueled my scholarly interests and emerged as the focus for my dissertation. My advisor, Dr. Elizabeth Allan, was a phenomenal mentor, who, through nominations, recommendations, referrals, and scholarly collaborations, was instrumental in shaping my role and potential as a current faculty member. Finally, the program offered courses through various 'platforms' -some are face-to-face, some hybrid, and a few online. While I was physically at the UMaine campus, the distance options were an asset to many peers, and pushed my thinking, as both a student and a teaching assistant who delivered courses using distance technology, about teaching and learning environments and the possibilities with various instructional approaches."

Hello Chicago Bears Fans,
GreaZzy from Revenge of the Birds here, and don't worry I come in peace. Since the season is over for us Cards fans(and unfortunately your season is over as well) I have shifted my focus to the upcoming NFL draft. I really like working on mock drafts, and trying to make the most realistic and accurate draft possible. That is where you guys come in.
I'm currently working on a chart which has every teams needs going into this off-season, both major needs and minor needs. I would be so grateful if you Bears fans would help me complete this chart more accurately by providing your insight to the Chicago Bears needs going into the draft. Any information regarding draft strategy of your organization would be helpful as well.
Thanks in advance, and better luck next year in your season (except when you play the Cardinals, of course)!

Eau Claire (WQOW) - A new activity is aiming to get college students aquatinted with the town they'll be living in. On Friday UW-Eau Claire hosted "UW Meets EC". Students were bused from the towers dorm to downtown Eau Claire.
They were dropped off in Phoenix Park and walked to Owen Park, with stops along the way. Dozens of businesses and non-profit organizations had specials and welcomed the students with prizes. The university says it hopes new students who come from out of town will feel more familiar with their surroundings beyond where they take classes.
"One thing we know is that a lot of students don't find downtown until they're living off campus, so sometimes they're juniors or seniors before they realize we have a downtown other than just Water Street. So, we'd like to do something downtown to introduce students to the organizations downtown where they might want to do their service learning projects," said Julia Diggins, Assistant Director of New Student Orientation.
Each student who attends the university must complete a service learning project, before they graduate, where they spend at 30 hours doing community service with a learning component.

Radioisotope Brief: Americium-241 (Am-241)
Half-life: 432.2 years
Mode of decay: Alpha particles and weak gamma radiation
Chemical properties: Crystalline metal that is solid under normal conditions. Am-241 can be combined with beryllium to produce neutrons.
What is it used for?
Am-241 is used in some medical diagnostic devices and in a variety of industrial and commercial devices that measure density and thickness. Tiny Am-241 sources are also present in smoke detectors.
Where does it come from?
Am-241 is a manmade metal that is produced from plutonium. Am-241 found in the environment is the result of past nuclear weapons testing.
What form is it in?
Am-241 found in the environment is in the form of microscopic dust. Am-241 used in industrial, medical, or commercial devices is in the form of coin-sized metal or plastic discs. The Am-241 source present in a smoke detector is inside a metal cylinder that is about the size of a pencil erasure.
What does it look like?
Am-241 is a silver-white metal that is solid under normal conditions.
How can it hurt me?
As a dust or fine powder, Am-241 can cause certain cancers. When Am-241 powder is swallowed, absorbed through a wound, or inhaled it can stay in the body for decades. Am-241 concentrates in the bones, liver, and muscles, exposing these organs to alpha particles.
For more information about Am-241, see the Public Health Statement by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry at http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxpro2.html, or visit the Environmental Protection Agency at http://www.epa.gov/rpdweb00/radionuclides/americium.html.

Detailed Description:
Critically ill patients experience a degree of hyperinflammation, cellular immune dysfunction, and oxidative stress. Supplementation with key nutrients, like glutamine and antioxidants, is most likely to have a favourable effect on these physiological parameters leading to an improvement in clinical outcomes. The results of two separate meta-analyses suggested that glutamine and antioxidants may be associated with improved survival. We have recently completed a dosing study to determine the maximal tolerable dose (MTD) of glutamine dipeptides and antioxidants in critically ill patients with evidence of hypoperfusion. The purpose of this protocol is to evaluate the effect of high dose glutamine and antioxidant supplementation on mortality in a large scale randomized trial.
Study Intervention:
Patients will be randomized to receive glutamine supplementation or antioxidant supplementation (or respective placebo).

I'm very happy with this system. My friend and I set up this system and it was very easy to set up. The cameras work really well and the night vision works very well for me, I can see farther than I thought I would. My pictures are clear and I can adjust the contrast, etc. from my monitor. I'm a very satisfied customer. For the price I paid, I can't beat it!!
Location: Southfield, Mi
So far so good nice dvr system and cameras. Colors are vivid and night vision good but pictures seem a little fuzzy wish they were clearer, still checking if i can modify picture or quality. Other then that it's an all around good system.
Location: Ohio
Delivery was prompt. Merchandise was of good quality and made well. Very satisfied with this product.

The system was so easy to set up,and works great.
Location: Tampa, Fl.
Good dvr system and cameras for the price. Colors are vivid and night vision is farther than expected. I was a little disappointed at the image quality at first, however I just replaced a 4 camera system which is why they were clearer. You lose resolution going to 8 channels at the same level of quality. Very easy to install. Looks good on iPhone in real time. Mounted one in garage; now I can check to see if I left the door open. Bottom-line; the presence of cameras and signs are enough to make criminals avoid home and move to easier targets. Verifying deliveries, dog walkers, service vehicles running up on the lawn, etc.... it works just fine.
Location: San Diego, CA
Been a LH110 Eco series DVR owner with 4 cameras, I already knew the experience of use lorex technology. Having this new system at almost 50% off was a once in the time opportunity that you can't reject. I'm more than happy to have buyed this system. The DYI installation and setting up the remote web access is a example of what you can approach just reading the manual. I highly recommend this system for anyone in a 8 critical points surveillance need.
Location: Bahamas
Great system. Have this and others installed at business and residences. All work great.
Location: Wareham, MA
This is our second system, we had a 4 channel and loved it so much we upgraded to the 8 channel. Lorex technical support is extremely helpful in anything you need assistance with and stay on the phone with you until you have all your issues addressed. No one should want any other system but these.
Location: Utah
I am very happy with this system, fast delivery, easy setup and quality images. Very satisfied and best price for the system.
Location: Chicago
Great way to keep an eye on our property in an affordable way!
Location: Tennessee
What can I say? Eight cameras and easy no brainer hookups. This system is great for home or business. I am using it for my home and I can cover everything and still have a couple of cameras for spares, if I come up with another area to cover. The price was great. The sale price was less than I could find for a 4 camera unit at the big box stores. I haven't set up the remote viewing yet, but I will shortly. If you are looking for a nice system that won't break the bank, this is the one.

This is the second unit I have purchased. It works great! From the living room of my home, I can view the surroundings of my property without getting out of my seat to see what's going on around my house. It gives me peace of mind. I've recommended it to two of my neighbors and they purchased them too and they love it! The quality of the videos are clear and sharp. It's very easy to install. When I had a problem with one of my cameras the customer service was excellent. I would recommend this system to anyone who would want to feel secure in their home. It prevents crime due to the visibility of the cameras surrounding the property.

The 8 camera DVR system works as advertised. The initial DVR setup took a while but now it works over my local network with my desktop, from the Lorex DDNS site to my laptop anywhere, and to my Galaxy 3 Samsung phone. Very cool. The DVR is setup in a closet out of sight but I can view whenever, wherever I want.

I love this system I feel much safer in my home, the only problem I have is the CD is cracked and I cant load it on my comp. Nite vision is fuzzy color is great. Would recommend this product to all.

SIERRA VISTA, Ariz. (AP) - The funeral for slain U.S. Border Patrol agent Nicholas Ivie is set for Monday.
Ivie was shot to death early Tuesday morning near the U.S.-Mexico border as agents responded to an alarm that was triggered on a sensor. A second agent was wounded but has since been released from the hospital.
The service will be held at 10 a.m. PDT Monday at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints meetinghouse at 2100 Yaqui Street.
Stake president Kevin Goates says a second funeral service in Utah and a memorial service in southern Arizona will be announced later.
Mexican officials say two men who may be connected with the shooting have been arrested.

After having played the first 14 games of the 2010 campaign with a torn meniscus before shutting it down and undergoing knee surgery, RB Maurice Jones-Drew was handled cautiously by the Jaguars. They limited his work in camp and held him out of the first three preseason games, trying to allow his right knee as much time as possible to recover and keep Jacksonville's most valuable asset fresh for the regular season.
There was no rust to speak of in Week One, however. He carried the ball 24 times for 97 yards and a touchdown, running with the speed and power that makes him one of the league's best backs. Yet, Jones-Drew was unhappy with head coach Jack Del Rio holding him out for much of the fourth quarter, as Del Rio later explained MJD was on a play count.
Enter second-year RB Deji Karim, 24, who has a much larger role this season after backup Rashad Jennings suffered a season-ending knee injury in camp. The 5-8, 209 pound Karim flashed as a rookie, averaging 4.6 yards in a limited sample size. But his biggest contributions came on special teams, where he was the team's primary kick returner, gaining 25.0 yards per return.
Karim discussed his increased role in the backfield in a recent phone interview with PFW.
"I'm very excited about the opportunity, but I'm approaching things the way I usually do," he said. "My main focus this offseason was improving my route running and pass protection."
Against the Titans, Karim was given a career-high 14 carries, though he gained just 33 yards (2.4 avg.). He was more effective in the passing game, with three receptions for 39 yards, including an excellent third-down catch midway through the third quarter, in which he made two Titans miss and moved the chains for a 12-yard gain. The play perfectly illustrated the burst and elusiveness that has the Jaguars so high on him.
Karim said initially he was "pissed" when he learned of the new kickoff rules this offseason, but special-teams coordinator Russ Purnell still gives him freedom to make plays.
"If I catch [the ball] moving forward, I should be fine. Decisions have to be made quicker, but if I hit a crease I'm more likely to go a long way."

ANDERSON — The city has invested a lot more effort, resources and time repairing a dilapidated section of Chase Street between West 11th and 10th streets, than they imagined would be necessary nearly a year ago when the project began.
Anderson Street Department Director Brad Land on Wednesday said he hopes the street will reopen next week.
Officials originally estimated the repaving project — undertaken in part as homage to the late Board of Public Works member Bob Schuler — would take about a month.
But on the road to completion the city encountered unanticipated problems such as underground gas lines that needed to be buried deeper, and water-saturated clay under the intersection of Chase and 10th streets, said Land.
The gas line problem was fixed, and workers removed the clay and replaced it with 10 inches of concrete to provide a solid foundation for the roadbed. But it all took time to figure out.
And then there were the bricks.
Because of its location in the designated historic district, city officials worked with historic preservationists to salvage and use the paving bricks that formed the old road.
Workers saved as many as they could, and engineers incorporated three areas of brick into the new road design. Laying brick as a road is something of a lost art these days, and labor intensive. Several outside contractors the city reached out to last year passed on the project.
Several city employees had experience laying brick, but not laying it as a road, said Land and Steve Turner, general foreman, who's overseeing the last stages of the project.
"We've worked with a lot of different people to try and get this done," Land said

Opening Brief Finally Filed in Oak Grove Referendum Appeal
Original post made by Stacey on Sep 11, 2008

According to the court website, the respondent's brief is due on Oct. 9. It lists the defendant/respondent as being the City Clerk of Pleasanton, which is confusing to me. Wouldn't it be the Lins?

Well, well. Now where are all the naysayers that implied the request for extension of the appeal could be a stalling tactic by the "Ayala Faction"?? What say you now???
But wait!! Now I could be wrong, but didn't at least one "wanna-be lawyer" predict it wouldn't even get this far along.
Who knows, maybe deep pockets can't keep the "little people" down after all. Guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens next but I'd bet if the "Ayala Faction" comes out on top in the appeal process, this is a long way from over. Deep pockets has a lot to lose....
on Sep 12, 2008 at 8:58 pm
Yea! At last they filed after two 1-month extensions. I wish I could have done that with my schoolwork! I also wish there were a free electronic copy of the opening brief available on the appellate court website like the superior court has. It better be pretty good to have kept us all waiting so long. :) I wonder if the other side of the equation will delay at all.
Why does it seem like no one calling up the State legislature on this if this is such a huge issue? That is where the problem of confusion about the "full text" requirement can be fixed.

Job vacancies occur even in the worst of economic times because of illness, death, poor performance and similar issues. But there is no way short of job hunting to know whether you can find an opportunity that will meet your needs.
Denise has been waiting patiently to take over her bosss job. Shes being groomed to succeed him. He strongly hinted he intended to retire in 2009. But with the dive in the stock market, hes now indicating hell postpone retirement indefinitely.
New challenges are what keep Denise going. How long can she wait before seeking another job? And what chance does she have of finding a good opportunity in the current economic environment?
After wrestling with these issues, she decided to launch a job hunt despite the recession.
She wrote an excellent resume, rehearsed networking and hiring interviews, worked through the tricky issue of references. She is careful to ask everyone she meets while job hunting for confidentiality
Shes now been job hunting for several months, and has turned down two offers because they didnt meet her needs. Shes grateful she can afford to be choosy
Denise may uncover a perfect opportunity in another company before her boss decides to retire. Even if she doesnt, however, shes finding job hunting itself has relieved the feeling that life is slipping by while she looks on passively. She is once again actively shaping her own destiny.
