That contradicts his next statement. "I'm still committed to UCLA," Woods said. He then explains, "I haven't decommitted, but I opened up recruiting again."
So where exactly does Woods stand? "Well, I haven't really told the UCLA coaches anything," he said. "I talked with (wide receiver) coach Eric Scott about a week ago, but we didn't talk about my commitment or anything. I'm not even sure if they know I went to Colorado. I haven't told them anything."
Woods, Scout.com's No. 8 safety nationwide, admits that it's UCLA's coaching situation that has caused him to rethink his commitment. "I'd really like to see (interim head coach) DeWayne Walker get the head coaching job," he said. "He's the reason all the recruits are there and the reason defensive players want to go there. If he stays, I think everyone will stay.
"He changed the program around," Woods continues on about coach Walker. "They beat USC last year because of their defense. He's had a great career in creating amazing defensive players and has coached some of the best."
Woods says it's now between UCLA, Washington and Colorado. "I can't really say I have a favorite right now," he flatly stated.
He visited the Huskies on Oct. 19 and the Buffs on Dec. 15. "I loved my trip to Colorado," he said. "I love the brotherhood they have there. It was finals week so there weren't any parties or anything, but the players all still hung out and studied together. That was really cool.
"It snowed too, but it wasn't too cold," he said. "Weather isn't a problem for me. I just loved the whole experience (at Colorado)."
Woods also admires the Buffs' schedule. "They've got like the toughest schedule next year," he said. "They play West Virginia, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Florida State and aren't afraid to take on the powerhouse teams."
Expect a final decision from Woods in early January. "I'm gonna wait until Jan. 8," he said. "That's when I plan to know for sure and announce. I'm not gonna have a press conference or anything. That's not my style. I'll just call the coaches and tell them.
"There's nothing specific about that date though," he said. "I just figured that would give me enough time to figure things out and make a final decision."
Woods reports a 2.6 core GPA and a 1400 SAT.

Five years ago, lost, paralyzed and terrified of the mess her life was in, award winning writer and business strategist Tina Ferguson found herself deep in the ditch. She had never faced such crisis in her life and was ill-prepared to deal with her feelings of hopelessness and despair. Open to any help to release her from the abyss, she found answers in the most unlikely places. The program in this book emerged as she came to heal her life and assist thousands of others to do the same.

Inspired by her own experiences, Ferguson wants others to know that the ditch is an invitation and a gift to claim.

Filled with nearly 100 practical, road-tested, easy-to-use tools, which are indexed for easy reference, the book provides a self-help road map for people to navigate out of the ditch and back in to their life. Ferguson offers an emergency toolkit for people who want to get out of the ditch fast and real-world client stories to provide steady inspiration and hope.

Found December 07, 2011 on PRO Rumors:
PLAYERS: Huston Street
TEAMS: Colorado Rockies, San Diego Padres
TEAMS: Colorado Rockies, San Diego Padres
The San Diego Padres have acquired closer Huston Street from the Colorado Rockies for a player to be named later according to Danny Knobler of CBSSports. Street is owed $7.5 million for 2012 with a $500,000 buyout, and the Rockies will eat the reminder of his contract adds Knobler. Yesterday, we learned that the Rockies were actively shopping Street, and that they were willing to eat the reminder of his contract in exchange of prospects. Street was 1-4 with a 3.86 ERA with 29 saves in 58.1 innings with the Rockies in 2011. Image by permanently scatterbrained under the Creative Commons License.

This restaurant became or regular favourite during a recent trip to Johannesburg.
The Michelangelo is a leading hotel of the world, and has several restaurants. The Piccolo Mondo restaurant is in two parts, one with a coffee shop providing light lunches as well as afternoon tea (with a pianist), the other is in the main restaurant. The chef is Italian as the name suggests. We only ate lunch once, but we visited for drinks several times. Lunch was very good and tasty, with quite an innovative menu mixing fish and meat on the same plate, and proper Italian dishes, not just the usual pastas. The prices are reasonable for a top hotel. There is an excellent wine list and wine was not expensive and wine by the glass very generous, and accompanied by various canapes free of charge. The staff are efficient and solicitous to everyone, even those arriving in scruffy jeans and flip flops, which as a 'mature' traveller I think inappropriate for this charming 5*hotel. A big attraction for us was the Smoking Lounge, where you can receive a light lunch, drinks and tea whilst also enjoying a cigar, pipe or cigarette, which is a rare find these days. The large picture windows open on to the square so you do not feel in a smoky atmosphere. The restaurant itself has a prime location overlooking the wonderful Mandela statue. We did not stay at this hotel, so cannot comment on the accommodation, but certainly we would be interested in doing so on another visit.

The Boston Red Sox acquired relief pitcher Matt Thornton and cash considerations from the Chicago White Sox on Friday in exchange for minor league outfielder Brandon Jacobs, the White Sox announced.
Thornton, 36, has spent eight of his 10 major league seasons in Chicago. He owns a 3.53 ERA and has struck out more than a batter per inning over the course of his MLB career, but his strikeout totals have decreased over the last couple of seasons.
Jacobs, 22, was a 10th-round draft pick by the Red Sox in 2009 and was recently promoted to Double-A. He is hitting .246/.334/.444 with 11 home runs in two minor league stops this season. That's not far off from his career batting line, which is .265/.340/.445.
Boston's starting pitchers have a collective ERA of 3.84, which ranks second in the American League. However, the Red Sox bullpen hasn't matched the success of the team's starters, posting a 4.19 ERA, good for 11th in the AL.
The Red Sox will reportedly receive less than $1 million in cash from the White Sox, according to CBS Sports' Jon Heyman, meaning they'll be responsible for the bulk of the $3.5 million owed to Thornton for the remainder of the season

As others have noted. Fully automatic weapons are already banned. Background checks for purchases is already required. And it is already illegal for criminals to have them. What we do not have are laws banning guns from people who are not yet legally considered mentally ill, or have not yet committed a crime. We do not yet control the transfer of guns from private individual to private individual (something that is totally legal in context of private property), but Obama will soon push through legislation with the help of people like you who don't truly understand the consequences in context of private property rights and basic constitutional liberties.

Download festival 'passed off without major incident'
Crime rates were low at last weekend's Download Festival in Leicestershire. Up to 90,000 people were at the festival at Donington Park every day.
Police say they can't yet give definite crime figures, but that 'early indications are that crime was low and the main problem was theft from tents'. Several arrests were made, as they are every year.

When I started Ecco Bella in 1992, I took a long, hard look at the ingredients women were using in their commercial body care products. I found many of the ingredients were potentially toxic, including talc, mercury, synthetic colors, fragrance, formaldehyde releasing preservatives, and a wide range of ingredients derived from petroleum. As bad as this was, I was also horrified by the cruelty of animal testing, which all the major cosmetic companies participated in. Many still do. The FDA does not require that ingredients be tested on animals. Yet, thousands of innocent animals are maimed and killed every year in the name of beauty.
Availability: Usually Ships Within 24-48 Hours
Ecco Bella Flowercolor Eyeshadow (1.6 g) Sapphire (Cool)Ecco Bella's Flowercolor Eyeshadow flower wax enriched formulas prevent moisture from migrating from the skin. Thus, helping Ecco Bella Flowercolor Eyeshadow colors to glide on smooth and stay true throughout the day. Ecco Bella Flowercolor Eyeshadow is gluten-free and vegan. Ecco Bella Flowercolor Eyeshadow is also preservative-free.
Tip: Lighter colors open and enlarge the eye area making eyes appear larger. Darker colors contract, deepen and recede an area.
Tip: Try a lighter color as an eyeliner or to highlight the center of your eyelid. Use darker colors to define an area and add depth, such as the crease or the outer corners or your eyes. Animal testing is unacceptable to Ecco Bella in any form because it is cruel and provides unreliable results. It is not required by law. Ecco Bella tests their products on themselves and they use ingredients that have been in use for years and are considered safe. Unfortunately, many ingredients have been tested on animals by the manufacturers years ago. Ecco Bella is unable to control the testing of ingredients, but they do oppose testing of any materials on animals and ask their suppliers not to test. Currently there are alternatives to animal testing that use cell membranes and computer modeling to determine safety.

Cloud for Africa
COMPUTING| July 25, 2012, 12:58 p.m.
Some analysts and vendors define cloud computing narrowly as an updated version of utility computing: essentially virtual servers available over the Internet. Others go very broad, arguing that anything you consume outside the firewall is in the cloud, including conventional outsourcing. One thing the industry agrees on, however, is that cloud computing is the future of computing.
International Data Corporation (IDC) predicts a five-year annual growth rate of 26% in IT cloud computing services, more thansix times the rate of traditional IT offerings, and that 27 percent of the net new IT revenue in 2013 will come from IT cloud services.
According to analyst firm Gartner, the cloud services market grew 16.6 percent last year, and it predicts that by 2014 cloud services revenue will balloon to USD148.8 billion worldwide. Research company Forrester concurs, predicting that while cloud hype from vendors, the media and other sources will continue to exceed actual user adoption, the various cloud markets and services will start making more sense to business buyers.
Altech ISIS general manager Anton van Heerden says that the company's understanding of the importance of cloud in the computing and business ecosystems was the reason Altech ISIS began focusing on becoming a cloud services leader during the past few years.
"Cloud services will certainly have a major impact on the IT market over the short term and given the growth potential of cloud services offerings over traditional ones, that percentage will grow very quickly in subsequent years. We are seeing evidence of the growth predictions of the leading international research houses in the increased interest in cloud computing from our customers, proving that our early focus on this area was opportune."
He adds that this is especially true in Africa, where the bandwidth battle is fast becoming a thing of the past with the landing of the SEACOM and EASSy cables, as well as the BRICS Cable – which is a 34 000 km, 2 optical fibre pair, 12.8 Tbit/s capacity, fibre optic cable system – will be linking Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (the BRICS economies) and the United States. It will interconnect, amongst others, with the WACS cable on the West coast of Africa, and the EASSY and SEACOM cables on the East coast of the continent. This will give the BRICS countries immediate access to 21 African countries and give those African countries access to the BRICS economies.
"African countries have the ability to accelerate the development of the use of new technologies in advance rather than being reactive. Cloud computing can provide an evolution of the way African businesses approach technology." Van Heerden says. "Cloud computing is a complex and rapidly evolving concept. First, one needs to understand how cloud computing is defined, and how it will evolve. This will enable an understanding of when, where, how and why enterprises should exploit cloud computing services. It will also help with an understanding of the optimum circumstances for deploying cloud computing."
As a cloud services broker, Altech ISIS concentrates on improving efficiencies across an entire organisation through the effective implementation of cloud-based solutions. The company's unique approach allows it to evaluate which cloud-computing models, architectures, technologies and best practices its clients should adopt, and to analyse how cloud computing will affect the strategy and direction of IT and the business.
"The cloud offers new delivery styles and options that are industrialised in a value chain that renders on-premises IT systems and expertise as only part of the overall delivery of IT capabilities to the company. Cloud computing allows IT to evolve its existing function as a department somewhere in the building that runs the reports and keeps the lights on in the server room, to a business unit that helps take the organisation to the next level of efficiency," he explains.
Van Heerden believes that it is inevitable that all organisations will have to eventually to be part of this shift so as to avoid another risk - losing ground to competitors that are taking the risk. However, the move to cloud computing can be daunting for many businesses. As a broker, Altech ISIS provides the expertise to allow companies to make the shift painlessly, offering a complete service from building a specific business case to strategically implementing a solution.
"Potentially every service, every consumer, and every combination of services may need brokerage. Companies need to align the technology with their business strategy; a move that requires specific expertise in order to be successful. We manage all the steps in the process to ensure that our clients obtain the full value that cloud computing offers," he concludes.

With so many of our daily tasks increasingly reliant on internet access, we should all be more vigilant about protecting our online identities and our computers. Here are a few handy tips to help you stay safe.
1. Shut down your computer when you're not around or away for extended periods of time. Alternately, you can also lock your system and then enter a password when you're back.
2. Resist the temptation of leaving email and social networking sites signed in. This is asking for trouble, especially when using shared computers, public and university cyber cafes. Clearing cache and cookies after each browsing session is also recommended.
3. Install a robust anti-virus and anti-malware software with a real-time scanner that will promptly detect and deal with unwanted intrusions. This is a must if you forget to run a manual scan. While downloading attachments via email or connecting a USB, always run the scan.
4. If you frequent torrent sites to download music, TV series and films, you are more likely to be vulnerable to hackers. These sites are also a smooth passage for malicious malware such as viruses, worms and Trojan horses to make their way in. You can read up on how to recognize fake torrents created by scammers and P2P file sharers, but, honestly, it's probably best to avoid these sites altogether.
5. As a student, you may often access the Internet through Wifi from cafes or other public places. Regardless of whether it is a password-protected or public, shared network, switch on your firewall as it will block hostile connection attempts. Ensure that your email browsers have an https and not just an http connection. Better still, just use Wifi for general browsing!
6. Curiosity may have killed the cat, but in this case, clicking on attractive-looking links will do the trick just fine. Free software, fake download buttons, fake security alerts, political propaganda and so on are frequently loaded with spyware, malware and phishing scams -- easy ways to lure unwary students.
7. Never repeat your password across accounts, and avoid setting your birthday, last name, or easily accessible information as your password (yes, we know it's easier to remember). Combine capital and lowercase letters with numbers and symbols to create a secure password that even your friends won't be able to guess.
8. As most of your projects and documents are saved online, consider using a cloud computing tool that invisibly backs up your files and folders in case of a hardware crash. Follow the necessary steps required to safeguard your data in the cloud.
9. The physical security of your laptop is just as important as everything else, so never leave it unattended in public. If you have one, secure it with a steel cable lock or install a laptop security and tracking software. In case it is stolen, contact the authorities and set about changing the passwords to personal accounts and banking information. Identity theft is a real threat, as the thief now has your personal files, documents, photos and other sensitive data.
10. And finally, educate yourself and read up regularly on cyber protection. Remember that hackers are constantly finding ways to beat the system, so don't get too cozy with what you already know. Sharing knowledge is doubling power, so go on and spread the word!

Do the words professional criticism make you shake? If so, you're not alone — a 2011 survey found that up to 31 percent of respondents have been told more than once that they don't take criticism well. Like it or not, criticism at work is a fact of life, and armed with the right skills, you can turn a moment of criticism into one that builds your career. The next time you're criticized at work, use these four tips:
1. Remember that it's not about you. Professional criticism is just that: professional. When faced with criticism, take a deep breath and remain calm. Don't make excuses, go on the defensive, or indulge in knee-jerk reactions, Instead, remind yourself that the boss or colleague making the critique is likely doing so not in response to who you are as a person, but in an effort to improve your performance at work. When you approach a critique with an open mind and a thick skin, you open yourself up to a conversation instead of a barrage of one-sided criticism.
2. Listen carefully. Before responding to professional criticism, listen closely to the person giving it. Your listening prowess will let the person giving the critique know that you care — and you may just learn something along the way. In fact, up to 85 percent of what we learn is learned through listening.
3. Ask follow-up questions. Get the most out of your critique session by asking follow-up questions. For example, if your boss says she's unhappy with your reporting skills, ask what she expects from an excellent report. Follow-up questions like these are a great training opportunity. Don't be shy — the right questions can help you turn a general critique into a specific career builder.
4. Take advantage. Even a silly-sounding criticism can contain a world of opportunity. Think about it: It's a chance to demonstrate a sense of professionalism by remaining cool in the face of criticism and show off your listening skills. In addition, follow-up questions and any follow-through actions are opportunities to showcase your prowess as a communicator and as a skilled worker to your superiors.
Ultimately, handling criticism at work is a vital business skill. Build it up over time, and you'll become a stronger professional. In fact, embracing workplace criticism and transforming it into meaningful action is one of the marks of a business leader. So square your shoulders, take a deep breath and take criticism as it comes. It just may help boost your career.

Wondering whether it's worth it to earn a bachelor's degree? The answer is an emphatic YES -- and the reasons may surprise you. Read on and discover 4 reasons to consider completing your bachelor's degree instead of settling for an associate's degree or high school diploma.
The age-old rumors about a bachelor's degree upping your earning potential are true. In fact, the Bureau of Labor Statistics states that a person with a bachelor's degree will earn almost 1.5 times as much per week as someone with an associate's degree, and 1.7 times as much as someone who has only earned a high school diploma. Simply put, a bachelor's pays off over time.
Sure, a bachelor's will help you earn more, but did you know it will also help you find work? The most recent statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show that 1.6 more earners with associate's degrees are unemployed in the current market. When you enter the workforce with a bachelor's, you enter with a leg up.
Have you ever taken a look at entry-level job listings? Most companies won't consider applicants who don't have bachelor's degrees. More and more, a bachelor's degree is perceived as an entry-level degree necessary to take your career to the next level. Make sure you're ready to enter the fray with the right degree.
Here's something you can't put a value on -- the feeling of true pride when you see your name on that degree. A bachelor's degree is a symbol of the hard work and effort you've put into your education. When you earn your baccalaureate degree, you're taking part in a tradition that's existed since the Middle Ages. Your degree is evidence of your commitment to learning. Earning a degree shows just how much you value education.
Whether you get a degree for its career impact, because you long to continue your education past a high school diploma or associate's degree, or just because you're passionate about learning, remember: a bachelor's degree is something worth striving for and a real educational achievement.

Michael Kazin: The Forgotten Presidenttags: Michael Kazin, The New Republic, Dissent, progressivism, Woodrow Wilson
Michael Kazin is editor of Dissent and teaches history at Georgetown University. His latest book is American Dreamers: How the Left Changed a Nation.
The first liberal Democratic president took office exactly 100 years ago this spring. So why aren't contemporary liberals bestowing the same praise on Woodrow Wilson as they lavish on Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson? Granted, if he were running today, Woodrow Wilson wouldn't win a single Democratic primary and would no doubt be heckled out of the race. Raised in the South, he smiled on Jim Crow and did not object when two of his cabinet appointees re-segregated their departments. A crusading Presbyterian, he vowed to "teach the Latin American republics to elect good men" and dispatched troops to Mexico and Haiti when they didn't follow his advice. During World War I, he enforced new laws that effectively outlawed most dissent from government policy.
Yet Wilson, together with his allies on Capitol Hill, also laid the foundation for the 20th century liberal state. He signed bills that created the Federal Reserve and progressive income tax rates, secured humane working conditions for merchant seamen and railroad workers, restricted child labor and curbed the power of large corporations. After the U.S. entered the war in Europe, his administration began operating the railroads, lifting the hopes of leftists who had long advocated public ownership of what was then a rich and vital industry.
In 1916, Wilson accepted renomination with a speech that defined political conflict in terms that remain surprisingly fresh. Our programs, he told his fellow Democrats were "resisted at every step by the interests which the Republican Party … catered to and fostered at the expense of the country, and these same interests are now earnestly praying for a reaction which will save their privileges, for the restoration of their sworn friends to power before it is too late to recover what they have lost." No wonder Glenn Beck and some Tea Party stalwarts have labeled Wilson the "President You Need to Hate." In their imaginations, Barack Obama is only expanding the monstrous "socialist" programs hatched a century ago....

Professional wrestling is a funny business. Many talented and popular wrestlers never get the opportunity to carry a federation's banner as a world heavyweight champion. As a result, many hall-of-famers--current and future--miss out on holding the most prized possession in all of the game, a big gold belt that signifies he is, as Ric Flair would put it, "the man" in his company. So in honor of WWE Monday Night Raw coming to the Cajundome next week, I present to you my list of the top 10 pro wrestlers that never won a world heavyweight championship.

plasma cell, short-lived antibody-producing cell derived from a type of leukocyte (white blood cell) called a B cell. B cells differentiate into plasma cells that produce antibody molecules closely modeled after the receptors of the precursor B cell. Once released into the blood and lymph, these antibody molecules bind to the target antigen (foreign substance) and initiate its neutralization or destruction. Antibody production continues for several days or months, until the antigen has been overcome.
Each plasma cell can secrete several thousand molecules of antibody, thus releasing a large amount of antibody into the circulation. The initial burst of antibody production gradually decreases as the stimulus is removed (e.g., by recovery from infection).

IOWA CITY, Iowa — Republican presidential hopeful Herman Cain has cast himself as the outsider, the pizza magnate with real-world experience who will bring fresh ideas to the nation's capital. But Cain's economic ideas, support and organization have close ties to two billionaire brothers who bankroll right-leaning causes through their group Americans for Prosperity.
Cain's campaign manager and a number of aides have worked for Americans for Prosperity, or AFP, the advocacy group founded with support from billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch, which lobbies for lower taxes and less government regulation and spending. Cain credits a businessman who served on an AFP advisory board with helping devise his "9-9-9" plan to rewrite the nation's tax code. And his years of speaking at AFP events have given the businessman and radio host a network of loyal grassroots fans.
The once little-known businessman's political activities are getting fresh scrutiny these days since he soared to the top of some national polls.
His links to the Koch brothers could undercut his outsider, non-political image among tea party fans who detest politics as usual and candidates connected with the party machine.
AFP tapped Cain as the public face of its "Prosperity Expansion Project," and he traveled the country in 2005 and 2006 speaking to activists who were starting state-based AFP chapters from Wisconsin to Virginia. Through his AFP work he met Mark Block, a longtime Wisconsin Republican operative hired to lead that state's AFP chapter in 2005 as he rebounded from an earlier campaign scandal that derailed his career.
Block and Cain sometimes traveled together as they built up AFP: Cain was the charismatic speaker preaching the ills of big government; Block was the operative helping with nuts and bolts.
When President Barack Obama's election helped spawn the tea party, Cain was positioned to take advantage. He became a draw at growing AFP-backed rallies, impressing activists with a mix of humor and hard-hitting rhetoric against Obama's stimulus, health care and budget policies.
Block is now Cain's campaign manager. Other aides who had done AFP work were also brought on board.
Cain's spokeswoman Ellen Carmichael, who recently left the campaign, was an AFP coordinator in Louisiana. His campaign's outside law firm is representing AFP in a case challenging Wisconsin campaign finance regulations. At least six other current and former paid employees and consultants for Cain's campaign have worked for AFP in various capacities.
And Cain has credited Rich Lowrie, a Cleveland businessman who served on AFP's board of advisors from 2005 to 2008, with being a key economic adviser and with helping to develop his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 9 percent, impose a national sales tax of 9 percent and set a flat income tax rate of 9 percent
"He's got a national network now that perhaps he wouldn't have had 15 or 20 years ago because of his work with AFP," said Republican Party of Wisconsin Vice Chair Brian Schimming, who has introduced Cain at events in Wisconsin. "For a presidential candidate, that's obviously helpful to have."
He said Cain was smart to hire Block.
Cain's recent victories in straw polls in Florida and Minnesota highlight the importance of organizing supporters and Block, who has a deep network in the tea party, "gets that side of it," Schimming said.
But Block has had his problems as well. He settled a suit in 2001 accusing him of illegally coordinating a Wisconsin Supreme Court justice's re-election with an outside group. Block agreed to pay $15,000 and sit out of politics for three years.
While Cain is quick to promote his career at the helm of the Godfather's Pizza chain, his ties to AFP aren't something the candidate appears eager to highlight.

|Parents of Special Needs Protest LAUSD's Plans to Close Centers
|Written by Diana Martinez
|Thursday, 01 August 2013 04:56
"We will keep Demonstrating until we can turn this around. The judges, school board and district don't know the law but we do. We have been in the trenches fighting this consent decree. -- Alex Rodrigues Parent
Parents of children with special needs face a myraid of obstacles and day to day challenges. The challenges, they find can be overwhelming, not as much from their kids but from the schools and paid professionals whose job it is to provide services for them.
Special needs children include both physical disabilities and those with a myraid of learning challenges that can include ADHD, Attention Deficient Hyperactive Disorder, Aspergers Syndrome and other conditions on the Autism spectrum as well as Down's Syndrome.
Parents share similar stories that maps a journey that they describe as a wall of institutional bureaucracy and professional complacency that prevents their children from receiving the services that help them most.
They describe their steps for getting services for their children often feeling more like a "battle" rather than a process of support. A process that includes initial action to get their children properly diagnosed, requesting and receiving school evaluations from their home school for an IEP [Individualized Education Program], finding the right school that can meet their special needs, then the process of diligence, parents find they must stay on top of the situation to see that their child's school and teachers are abiding by the specifications of the IEP.
This process has often turned every day parents into special needs advocates.
Alex Rodrigues is one those parents who has been actively involved in the political fight against consent decrees and advocated for special needs services since 2002 when she said a similar action was attempted. Determined to put a stop to LAUSD's plan, she protested with her daughters, one who currently attends a special education center. With scores of other parents, teachers and students, she protested in front of the offices of school board members Margarite LaMott Wednesday and Tamar Galantzan last week holding signs up in English and Spanish for passing motorists to see along Balboa Blvd in Van Nuys.
Rodrigues said Lamott and Galantzan have been among the school board members who are "complacent" on special needs issues. A diverse group of parents, many with their special needs children, some now adults who held up signs for the cameras that identified them as proud graduates of the special needs centers. Rodrigues carried a sign that read: 'Choice of Special Education Placements! It's the Law!'
The latest worry for Rodrigues and many parents is LAUSD's plan to close the special education centers that their children have come to know as a safe school environment where she said "they can be celebrated." LAUSD plans to merge four special education centers with nearby traditional schools.
There are 83,000 special needs students that qualify for services from LAUSD. Galantzan's office referred media calls to the office of special education.
"They want to take them from a place where they have their own sports activities including a cheer leading squad, social activities and are connected to other special needs schools: Rodrigues said.
"They want to put them in an environment where they won't be connected."
Rodriguez and other parents worry that placing their children at a traditional school will make them more vulnerable to bullying. LAUSD plans to "mainstream" more special needs students by merging four special education centers with nearby traditional schools when the news school term begins later this month.
The San Fernando Valley Schools include -- Miller Special Ed Center in Reseda will transfer about 100 students to Cleveland High School. The Fraces Blend School will merge with Van Nuys Elementary School. Students from Lull Special Education Center in Encino will be moved to Reseda High School.
Some parents who asked that their names not be used speculated that money was LAUSD's real motivation and the center's property was wanted for real estate.
"They [LAUSD]are breaking the law including the Federal Disabilities Act. Our kids need to be environments that best fits their needs." Rodrigues said. Protesting parents said that it's not enough to receive an IEP, they have to pressure the district to do the right thing, to keep open the centers and programs that have met their needs.
"We will keep demonstrating until they do the right thing," said Rodrigues. "Our children are being forced into a situation they can't handle. The decision where to place our children should come from us [parents], not the district."

Many moons ago we reported right here that Forge owner Shareef Malnik may have been dating Sharon Stone. That story disappeared faster than Basic Instinct 2 did from the theaters--until now. Stone, who we saw last night at the opening of the Viceroy, is having lunch right now at Brosia with none other than Malnik, who was also there last night. We didn't catch the two canoodling or anything, but hmmm, could they be more than friends? We know Malnik likes brunettes, but Stone, we guess, is a hot exception.

Lincoln's Hundred Days: The Emancipation Proclamation and the War for the Union (Hardcover)
Not currently in the store – Usually ships in 1-5 days
The time has come now," Abraham Lincoln told his cabinet as he presented the preliminary draft of a "Proclamation of Emancipation." Lincoln's effort to end slavery has been controversial from its inception—when it was denounced by some as an unconstitutional usurpation and by others as an inadequate half-measure—up to the present, as historians have discounted its import and impact. At the sesquicentennial of the Emancipation Proclamation, Louis Masur seeks to restore the document's reputation by exploring its evolution.
Lincoln's Hundred Days is the first book to tell the full story of the critical period between September 22, 1862, when Lincoln issued his preliminary Proclamation, and January 1, 1863, when he signed the final, significantly altered, decree. In those tumultuous hundred days, as battlefield deaths mounted, debate raged. Masur commands vast primary sources to portray the daily struggles and enormous consequences of the president's efforts as Lincoln led a nation through war and toward emancipation. With his deadline looming, Lincoln hesitated and calculated, frustrating friends and foes alike, as he reckoned with the anxieties and expectations of millions. We hear these concerns, from poets, cabinet members and foreign officials, from enlisted men on the front and free blacks as well as slaves.
Masur presents a fresh portrait of Lincoln as a complex figure who worried about, listened to, debated, prayed for, and even joked with his country, and then followed his conviction in directing America toward a terrifying and thrilling unknown.

Every Sunday at Mariners' Church in Detroit, the Rev. Paul Innes and the congregation recite a prayer for those who sail. / March photo by JESSICA J. TREVINO/Detroit Free Pre
At the entrance to the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel that connects the U.S. and Canada stands Mariners' Church, its white stone decorated with a cross whose bottom splits into a curve like a ship's anchor. Established 170 years ago, the church was built for the growing number of sailors in Detroit excluded from other congregations.
But don't see this church on Jefferson Avenue near the Renaissance Center as outdated. The new pastor wants you to know it's open for worship.
Some may say, "I've always driven by there. I wonder what Mariners' is about," said the Rev. Paul Innes, acting rector. "Come in and find out."
The church, physically moved in 1955 to its current location, now has a congregation of about 200 families, Innes said. The maritime tradition of the church is still a vital part of its mission. Every Sunday, Innes and the congregation recite a prayer for those who sail: "Hear us when we cry to thee, for those in peril on the sea."
And inside the limestone Gothic structure are ship artifacts, such as a steering wheel that sits near the altar.
Last year, Innes walked every day in June to the Spirit of Detroit statue to recite a prayer for the city. It allowed him to connect with everyday folks and deepened the church's connection to the city.
"As Detroit renews, we're going to be right along side of it," Innes said from his office.

Early Tuesday evening, Amy and I were driving around Seekonk looking for somewhere new to review. We found Lum's. Google lists it as both Lum's Restaurant and Lum's Roast Beef, but the sign and menu just read Lum's. I'm not exactly sure how long Lum's has been there in its current form, but on Tuesday, I caught it out of the corner of my eye at 717 Fall River Ave. in Seekonk. The only thing I knew about it walking in was from the sign out front: they've got famous roast beef sandwiches.
Roast beef sandwiches are exactly where we started. I love a good roast beef sandwich. I will reliably order a french dip off a menu, and Amy and I have a warm spot in our hearts for Arby's. Amy and I ordered two roast beef sandwiches and an order of onion rings. She got a soda, and I ordered a beer, mostly because they so proudly mention on a couple signs that they're "Now serving beer and wine!" The woman being the counter was very hospitable and polite. I just wish she could have recognized a couple newbies and walked us through some specialties. Usually I ask, but I wasn't feeling quite so talkative.
Once sitting, we got a good look around. I got a strong feeling that Lum's similar to some the places you can see on the Travel Channel or Food Network. Its a freestanding building on a main travel road in Seekonk. If you didn't know exactly where you were, you could be on a main road in any of thousands of towns in the country. The interior was spacious, bright, and clean. And it'd be a great place for a family outing. Not far from the counter where you order is a sink to get kid's (and adult's) hands cleaned up before people digging into hot dogs and roast beef sandwiches.
The sandwiches came out quick enough and they were quite good. Lum's uses a special seasoning on top of the sandwiches and onion rings that I presume to be seasoning salt. They were a great size for the value, and the seasoning gives them a little edge and separation from the plain and simple roast beef at a place like Miller's or Arby's. The sandwiches were great smothered in catchup and I'll definitely go back again. While eating, Amy noticed the t-shirts for sale reference the famous roast beef sandwiches and hot dogs steamed in beer. Although I certainly didn't need it, I had to try one.
I ordered one, and I was asked what I want on it. Not being an expert in the menu, I said I'll take it plain. While waiting with Amy, we browsed the paper menu, and saw sherry kraut and chili were the typical toppings offered. It came out plain and I tried my first bite. You could definitely taste the beer, and it was an interesting flavor addition to a hot dog. I collected on my topping offer and got some chili. Vast improvement. The nice fat hot dog was fantastic as a chili dog.
The experience at Lum's was very enjoyable. Upon reading the menu (and on the wall in the restaurant), they have a line that says "Welcome back to the Lum's you loved and remembered." It got me curious enough to go to their website to read about how they started and where it went that it needed to come back from. I was hoping for a little background on where the name Lum's came from, but no such luck. We got away with our meal costing about $20 for two people with a beer.
From there, we craved just a little sweet to end the night. It was a short drive around the corner to Sundae's. Its a ice cream place on Route 44 that you'd undoubtedly recognize if you've driven on the road more than a couple of times. I'm sure its been a staple of Seekonk families in the summer time for years, but it was Amy's and my first time there. Essentially it is like a dairy queen with out the brand name. A long list of flavors was written in on a dry erase board. Amy and I got there at exactly the right time, because right after we got in line, it near tripled in length. My strawberry Sunday really hit the spot. The small was plenty big enough for me and I was a big fan of the strawberry topping. Amy got a soft ice cream cone with vanilla and coffee twist. Kiddie size was more than enough. I can't imagine what the large must look like.
It was a nice summer night of great local Seekonk offerings. Lum's and Sundae's are both great places with or without kids in tow. Whether paired together or separate, they are both very casual comfortable places to stop. Especially in this hot time of year, it beats firing up the stove in my kitchen.
Bites Nearby: Lum's Roast Beef
Lum's Roast Beef reopened in early 2011 serving its staple 1950's fare.

A modern thinker, Lewis Yablonsky, has coined the right word for this pathology - he calls it robopathology. The man who suffers from it he calls a robopath. Robo means a machine, an automaton; one who lives a mechanical kind of life, a repetitive kind of life; one who has no adventure; one who simply goes on dragging himself. He fulfills the day-to-day demands, but he never fulfills the eternal demand, the eternal challenge.
He will go to the office, to the factory, he will come home, he will look after the children and the wife, and he will do a thousand and one things - and do them very efficiently - but he will never be alive, you will not find aliveness in him. He will live as if he is already dead.
Robopath is a beautiful word. Sufis have always talked about this pathology - they have called it by many names. For example, they say that man is a machine. Gurdjieff introduced this Sufi idea into the Western consciousness. Sufis say that man is asleep. Sufis say that man is dead. Sufis say that man is not yet. Sufis say that man only believes that he is, but that belief is a kind of dream.
You may remember sometimes, dreaming that you are awake. Yes, it happens in dreams. You can dream yourself awake, you can think you are awake - and when you dream in a dream that you are awake you feel as if you are awake. Only in the morning, when you are really awake, will you be able to compare notes. Then you will laugh at the ridiculousness of it. The dream deceived you.
Sufis say that people are not awake, they only believe they are awake. And their very belief is a hindrance to their awakening. If you already believe that you are awake, then what is the need of doing anything about it? It is pointless. If a man feels he is healthy, then what is the point of going to a physician? Then what is the point of taking any medicine or treatment? Then what is the point of having very, very painful surgery? He believes he is healthy already.
Cowards believe they are healthy because they are afraid of the medicine, of the physician, of the operation, of the surgery. They are afraid of everything. They simply exist in fear, they go on trembling deep inside. They are just protecting themselves. Their whole life is a long story of protection, defending. They don't have time to live and they don't have energy to grow.
This robopathology has to be understood. It is one of the fundamentals of Sufism.
A few things.. A robopath is a person whose pathology entails robotlike behavior and existence. He is man only for the name's sake. He could have been a computer: he may be. A robopath is a human who functions insensitively, mechanically - in short, in a dead way. A robopath is an automaton. His existential state is not even inhuman. He is not human, certainly he is not even inhuman - because to be inhuman first you have to be human. His existential state can only be described as the Sufis describe it - they call it ahuman. It has no human value, neither this way nor that. He is neither human nor inhuman, he is ahuman.
