SANTA CLARITA - Folks in City Hall are thrilled Cemex won't open its proposed Soledad Canyon mine in 2008, but the move could prove costly for California taxpayers and consumers in the coming years.
The city of Santa Clarita has spent $8 million fighting the planned gravel mine, saying it would result in heavy truck traffic and unhealthful air quality. The two sides have declared a truce while they seek a compromise.
Meanwhile a report issued last week by the state shows long-term demand for sand and gravel - a key ingredient in cement and asphalt products used in construction - will far outweigh the supply.
The 56.1 millions tons of aggregate Cemex is permitted to mine in the canyon over 20 years was included in the projection.
"If Cemex's 56 million tons is not going to be mined, the area will have less than 7 percent of the aggregate it will need," said John Parrish, the state geologist and former executive officer of the state mining and geology board. "That means, that 93 percent of its projected aggregate usage will have to be imported from surrounding areas."
These include the San Gabriel Valley, Claremont and Upland. Building costs rise when the material must be trucked from afar because it's expensive to transport.
"You can fly an ounce of gold from California to New York without really changing the value of that ounce of gold," Parrish said. "But a ton of aggregate may double in cost for every 30 miles of transportation.
Building one mile of six-lane interstate highway requires about 113,500 tons of aggregate. Transporting that tonnage 30 miles adds $510,000 to the base cost of the material at the mine, Parrish said.
Caltrans consumes only about 10 percent of the total aggregate used throughout California, so its projects don't have a significant impact on aggregate resources, David Anderson, a spokesman for the agency, said via e-mail. However, cost is another matter.
"It would cost more if we had to haul the material in from miles away as opposed to having an aggregate source nearby there in Santa Clarita," he said.
The report issued Thursday by the state Department of Conservation is intended to help municipalities better plan for growth. It includes a map dividing the state into 31 regions where the material is mined and used for building. Aggregate produced in a quadrant is usually sold within the same area.
Cemex earlier said material from the mine would be destined for greater Los Angeles.
Though house sales are slumping, homebuilding costs remain constant. Houses usually sit on concrete slab foundations, have concrete driveways, and some have swimming pools. Two-story homes may require additional concrete supports.
About 200 tons of aggregate is needed to build the average home. Building the 21,000 homes planned in Newhall Ranch, a master planned community just east of Valencia, may require roughly 4.2 million tons of aggregate.
If Cemex does not resume the project in a few years and local suppliers cannot meet the demand for the material, the price of houses would rise proportionately to the hauling distance.
On Tuesday, Cemex officials said they've called off plans to open the mine next year and want to negotiate a compromise instead. The city had spent roughly $8 million on a campaign to scale down the mine to historical levels of 300,000 tons a year or get it barred from the area between Canyon Country and Agua Dulce. Opponents claimed the mine would pollute the region's air and increase heavy truck traffic on local highways.
The compromise might hinge on federal legislation introduced this year, modeled on a measure introduced by Rep. Howard "Buck" McKeon that failed in 2006.
In the Los Angeles-Orange County-San Gabriel area, only about one-third of the material required over the next 50 years has been permitted for mining and it takes five to seven years to obtain permits.
"The area will fall 66 percent short over the next 50 years unless additional permitting or additional resources are found," Parrish said.
In the next five decades, California will need 13<MD+,%30,%55,%70>1/<MD-,%0,%55,%70>2 billion tons of aggregate and only 4.3 billion tons are permitted - roughly a 13-year supply. Parrish said the state's behind the curve because the numbers are based on current rates of use and don't encompass unforseen circumstances.
"It doesn't take into account accelerated construction programs as a result of major bond initiatives or from construction following a major damaging earthquake."
Several large construction companies declined to comment, but one local builder wonders if the city's taken on a NIMBY attitude - not in my back yard.
"Is Soledad Canyon the center point for the distribution of (aggregate)?" said Randal Winter, of Randal Winter Construction Inc. in Newhall. "If it is the logical center point for the resource with a minimal amount of travel to the end users ... (causing) less pollution and trucks on the road, just because we don't want it doesn't mean it isn't right."
However, Winter, who serves on the Newhall Redevelopment Committee and the West Ranch Town Council said he's glad the eight-year battle, which cost the city some $8 million, has resulted in a compromise.

Texas Inmate Gets 40 Percent of Vote in W. Va. Presidential Primary
Posted May 9, 2012 6:33 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
President Obama is so unpopular in West Virginia that a Texas inmate won about 40 percent of the vote in the state's Democratic primary.
Keith Judd paid a $2,500 filing fee and filed a form to get on the state ballot, the Associated Press reports. AP says Judd is in federal prison for making threats at the University of New Mexico, while ABC and the Charleston Gazette say he is incarcerated for extortion.
Candidates who garner more than 15 percent of the vote usually qualify for a delegate to the Democratic National Convention. But no one has filed to be a Judd delegate, AP says.
Judd also made the Idaho ballot in 2008, according to Slate. The inmate filed quarterly reports this year with the Federal Election Commission that are actually essays about his political views. "Obama Care is all about taking money from the Working Slave Class," Judd says in one of the reports. His biography on Project Vote Smart boasts of bowling a perfect 300 game and claims his father helped design the first atomic bomb, according to the Register-Herald.

Neste Oil, Finnish Environment Institute launch algal fuel R&D effort
In Finland, Neste Oil and the Finnish Environment Institute have launched a joint algae research program with the Marine Research Centre as part of Neste's efforts aimed at using algae oil as a raw material for producing NExBTL renewable diesel in the future.
Research with SYKE will focus on testing the lipid production capacity of different types of algae and analyzing how the quality and quantity of these lipids can be optimized by adjusting the conditions under which algae are grown. Launched this August, the program will last two years.

Walking in Nirox
This isn't an art review. I generally don't review art. I simply look at it – or listen, feel, smell, whatever the case may be.
Sometimes I appreciate it, sometimes it doesn't work for me at all. It certainly isn't my job to make an artist feel good about their work. That's their job. If they don't feel good about it, then they have done something wrong or the work has come from the wrong place, which means a lot of other people don't feel good about it and hence we have bad art.
So I am not here to praise the recent sets of work on display in the gardens of Nirox and their recent exhibition - After the Rainbow Nation. But merely to tell you that I appreciated it. There is something about misplaced blocks of human expression among natural surroundings, supremely manicured natural surroundings I may add, but natural nonetheless, that I enjoy. Arbitrary shapes that often tell no story yet provide what is to me an aesthetic approach to the immediate surroundings.
I normally am not one for conceptual pieces of work, but I am certainly one for grand scale, for a sense of beauty and mystery. Especially when it is just popping out of the ground. Of particular attraction is Gordon Froud's Cone Virus, fluorescent pylons or structured into the shape of what could be called a star on the other side of a pond, among the grass.
Probably one of my favourite pieces is Richard Forbes' Vortex I sitting on a hill top. Striking. To be honest, a little meaningless to me, but it looks cool. That's often the only thing I need.
One of the smartest executions was Release by Marco Cianfanelli, strips of steel laser cut standing upright that if you look at it at just the right angle is a profile of Madiba. Tried to take a suitable picture but you can have a look at the result above. Not exactly a true representation of what could have been seen.
I have always been a fan of Angus Taylor's work – I saw his bronze pieces of Infalation and Deflation at the Joburg Art Fair last year and they made such an impression for me. In a setting such as Nirox they only work all the better. His works of rammed earth steel and stone are just impressive and match the surroundings effectively.
In short, it is worth a walk around and whenever you think you have come to the edge of the garden and you are looking into the shrub, don't be surprised if you see piece lingering there, begging for some exploration.
Oh, and apparently there is a hippo that has taken residence in the garden...although I didn't see it.

East Lancashire businesses react to news of recession's end
8:00pm Saturday 27th October 2012 in East Lancashire
ECONOMIC recovery in the region relies heavily on how other countries perform, according to an East Lancashire business leader.
This week it was announced the UK had come out of recession after a one per cent rise in output in the three months from July to September.
And there are some signs of recovery in East Lancashire according to businesses in the area.
Mike Damms, chief executive of the East Lancashire Chamber of Commerce, said outside factors had a large bearing on how the county performs.
He said: "The trouble with East Lancashire is that it is not an isolated economy.
"It is one of the world's great trading areas. We trade with everybody and everywhere.
"So how those other countries are doing has a great bearing on how we do here in East Lancashire.
"But generally speaking, there has been a lot of economic recovery in the region over the last nine months, not just three, which is why we have seen a growth in employment."
Nationally, there were doubts over the strength of the the UK's recovery from the longest double-dip recession since 1950.
The growth in output was flattered by the effects of the Olympic Games and a bounce back from the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations in the previous quarter.
The UK has been battling against sluggish consumer spending, Government cuts and high unemployment, while the struggling eurozone has hit exports.
While the third quarter beat expectations and grew at the fastest pace since the third quarter of 2007, the economy was still 3.1 per cent below its peak in the first quarter of 2008.
Chancellor George Osborne said the UK still faced "many economic challenges at home and abroad".
Your view
I haven't seen any improvement recently and I suspect nobody else has.
There hasn't been any difference since the new Government came in.
Trade has been slowly declining for about two or three years.
You just have to deal with things like this and work even harder.
Tom Turner, Turner's Butchers, Darwen Market
We aren't complaining at the moment.
On the industrial side of the business there has certainly been an uptake in interest recently and a more positive attitude, and that has been mirrored in the retail aspect.
When they make an announcement like this one it is a psychological thing as it puts people in a positive mindset and gives people the feel good factor that we aren't in a recession.
Peter Hobkirk, Hobkirk's Sewing Machines, Blackburn
It has been a tough couple of years but the town is definitely picking up.
People are starting to spend again, but there are still tough times ahead I think.
I have been here now for two years and I am building the business up but I am happy with the way things are going.
You see a lot of big firms going out of business, but I am still here.
Amanda Hanson, Sweet William Florists, Burnley
Business is challenging and people are being more careful.
We have to convince them that spending money in our shop is a good idea and that they are getting value for money.
Yesterday's announcement is good news. It has been a tough time but I am optimistic we will be busy over the Christmas period.
Peter Jackson, Peter Jackson The Jeweller, Blackburn
I think there has been a lot of fear but even before this announcement, people who were previously worried about spending on luxury items, such as grapes, are now loosening up a bit and treating themselves.
I would say we are going the right way now.
Businesses can get caught in the atmosphere of a recession and park up, but we have tried to keep moving.
It is the overheads that kill traders, like business rates. We could do with some help from the Government with that.
Duncan Allton, All Fruits, Burnley Market
We are one of the few companies that has done quite well despite the recession.
There was a bit of a slow down after the Olympics but now we are as busy as ever.
We have taken on 67 new staff this year and it is business as usual.
Jean-Yves Dziki, WEC, Darwen
In the design and maintenance of aerospace technology we have seen a dramatic increase in exports.
I do not believe there has been any recession in this sector.
But there needs to be some more positivity in people.
All of the negativity is bad as it stops people from having the confidence to make investments.
Dennis Mendoros, Euravia, Kelbrook
The recession may have lifted down south but it certainly hasn't up here.
It is a general struggle from week to week.
Banks just aren't lending anybody anything to build houses with, so there is very little development.
We have managed to plod along but it hasn't got any better.
John Clough, Fourtex Dry Lining, Burnley

The UK has emerged from its double-dip recession after the economy grew by one per cent in the third quarter ending in September. The data was helped by a 0.50 per cent rebound from lost activity in the second quarter as a result of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and a 0.2 per cent increase from Olympic ticket sale receipts.
The Treasury, and the Prime Minister, David Cameron and the Chancellor, George Osborne, were careful not to sound self-satisfied and admitted that though the figures show the economy is on the right path, there is a lot of work to do.
George Osborne said: "Britain is recovering from a very deep banking crisis. But today you can see that the British economy is on the right track.
"There are plenty of risks out there. Look at the data from the eurozone this week that shows us that there is still a difficult economic situation in the world."
Shadow Chancellor, Ed Balls, who was yesterday forced to admit that there was a structural deficit in the UK economy in 2007, said: "Our economy desperately needs an injection of confidence. But this is no time for complacency and wishful thinking."
Chris Williamson, chief economist at financial data provider Markit said: "The government will most likely make the most out of this good news, but unfortunately it is unlikely that the UK will see such a strong performance again for some time."
They were right to sound a note of caution. Yesterday's figures were welcome but still only mean that the UK economy has been flat for the past 12 months The next major obstacle for global economic growth is the euro debt crisis. This is probably the most vital element impacting on the likelihood of the UK economy emerging from its double-dip recession with steady growth in 2013.
So far, there have been few grounds for optimism that the underlying causes of the euro debt crisis are being effectively addressed. Attempts at imposing austerity measures in the troubled economies of Greece, Spain and Italy have met with resistance and the debt is being contained not reduced. The IMF and other organisations also increasingly take the view that austerity measures could be coming at the expense of growth.
However a growth in the GDP is not the only bit of growing that needs to be done as one of the world's leading environmentalists issued a warning that the global food supply system could collapse at any point, leaving hundreds of millions more people hungry, sparking widespread riots and bringing down governments. In a shocking new assessment of the prospects of meeting food needs, Lester Brown, president of the Earth policy research centre in Washington, says that the climate is no longer reliable and the demands for food are growing so fast that a breakdown is inevitable, unless urgent action is taken.
"Food shortages undermined earlier civilisations. We are on the same path. Each country is now fending for itself. The world is living one year to the next," he writes in a new book.
According to Brown, we are seeing the start of a food supply breakdown with a dash by speculators to "grab" millions of square miles of cheap farmland, the doubling of international food prices in a decade, and the dramatic rundown of countries' food reserves.
This year, for the sixth time in 11 years, the world will consume more food than it produces, largely because of extreme weather in the US and other major food-exporting countries. Oxfam last week said that the price of key staples, including wheat and rice, may double in the next 20 years, threatening disastrous consequences for poor people who spend a large proportion of their income on food.
In 2012, according to the FAO, food prices are already at close to record levels, having risen 1.4% in September following an increase of 6% in July.
"We are entering a new era of rising food prices and spreading hunger. Food supplies are tightening everywhere and land is becoming the most sought-after commodity as the world shifts from an age of food abundance to one of scarcity," says Brown. "The geopolitics of food is fast overshadowing the geopolitics of oil."
His warnings come as the UN and world governments reported that extreme heat and drought in the US and other major food-exporting countries had hit harvests badly and sent prices spiralling.
"The situation we are in is not temporary. These things will happen all at the time. Climate is in a state of flux and there is no normal any more.
"We are beginning a new chapter. We will see food unrest in many more places.
"Armed aggression is no longer the principal threat to our future. The overriding threats to this century are climate change, population growth, spreading water shortages and rising food prices," Brown says.
Stock up on long life foods water medical supplies. Money will have no value soon the euro pound dollar are all about to collapse so you may as well spend what you have. Gold and silver will carry wealth to the new world currency but it won't produce food.
I don't tell you of these easily checkable facts to alarm you or to leave you living in fear of the future only to enlighten you to give you a chance of surviving the on coming attack on humanity.

And a note on the jobs front, I know of two people within the past six months who suddenly found themselves without jobs, and obtained new employment within a couple of weeks! OK, there might not be jobs for absolutley everyone, but it does go to show that if you are determined enough, you CAN find employment.
So, is there a recession? Probably. Are things so hard? Probably not (in most cases). Are there jobs out there? Yes, if you can be nothered to look.
Are there people who will never get a job? Yes, because they don't want to!

Auditors say over the last several years a growing amount of money has sat in the Carter County Circuit Court Clerk's account.
As part of the Tennessee Comptroller of the Treasury's most recent audit of Carter County, the state found nearly $400,000 in a fund labeled as unidentified.
Despite the thousands of cases that go through circuit and general sessions courts in Carter County, auditors say employees never linked this money with specific cases, which may be costing victims and taxpayers alike.
Auditors didn't mince words when they finished this latest audit. They determined this problem was the result of "numerous errors, management's general lack of oversight, and weaknesses in the software controls."
Auditors say some of the money in question, judges may have designated to be paid to victims for restitution but the clerk's office may have never paid out that money.
At the same time, they say some of the funds could also belong to the county and state to cover filing fees and fines.
Bottom line, the circuit court clerk's office collected all of this money over the years but never sent it where it was supposed to go, auditors found.
"It could be restitution money, it could if you file a case, it could be for some of the court fees, maybe some state fine money in there," Audit Review Manager Greg Worley said. "It could go out to various individuals, whether it be state, local or individuals in the case of restitution. Laws determine how money should be paid out so the money is properly tracked. You should have an adequate accounting of all of your funds."
Worley says this isn't an easy problem to fix.
"There are thousands of cases," he said. "They are going to have to go one-by-one and see where the money belongs. It would require a lot of time to be able to perform that activity."
John Paul Mathes' office isn't saying much about the audit findings. However, his staff faxed a statement in response to our inquiry.
"As the 2012 Audit Report states, the funds in question are classified as 'unidentified,'" the statement said. "There are no allegations of missing funds. We are diligently utilizing every resource available including outside resources to correct these findings in a timely manner."

A report in Georgian Daily by Paul A. Goble details a number of new appointments and transfers put in motion by Patriarch Kirill, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church. Goble says that "Russian commentators agree" that the patriarch intends to use his position to promote a more public and more active approach at home and abroad. But, citing a report by Aleksandr Soldatov on the Russian language Portal-Credo site, Goble says there are also signs of preparations for a major council. At the direction of Kirill, the Holy Synod created a "still mysterious" commission for the preparation of materials in anticipation of an as yet undefined and unscheduled church council or "sobor" and named Archmonk Saava, who is particularly close to the new patriarch as its secretary. This group, which Kirill apparently will chair could prove to be only a place holder for housekeeping functions or it could – and Soldatov suggests that Kirill's own personality makes this more likely – a staging … [Read more...]

Met. Jonah calls for 'internal reformation'
Ecumenical News Service interviewed Metropolitan Jonah, who called for better administration and more accountability in Church governance in light of the recent financial scandals in the Orthodox Church in America. The interview was republished by UK church news service Ekklesia. ... Jonah said, "There is a lot of 'internal reformation' that has to take place in the church." He noted that the church needs to put into place systems of administration and accountability that will put it on par with "a 21st century, U.S. non-profit" organization. Other goals include making the OCA a far more visible presence within the United States, though more vigorous missionary work. Jonah notes that already 60 percent of some one million OCA laity, 70 percent of its clergy and 90 percent of its bishops are, like Jonah, converts from other denominational traditions. Jonah also wants to promote Orthodoxy unity within the United States and for U.S. Orthodox churches to explore the creation … [Read more...]

Coming off a 12-0 fourth quarter comeback run to beat the Boston Celtics two days ago, the Cleveland Cavaliers once again tackled a steep fourth quarter comeback Tuesday night in Cleveland. Down as much as 22 points in the game and 18 points going into the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers cut the Celtic lead down to two with 1:18 left, but couldn't make shots at the end, and Kevin Garnett hit a turnaround with a minute left to lift the Celtics to a 93-90 win.
The Cavs came on strong in the fourth quarter by speeding up the pace of their offense and scoring better in transition, before Boston's defense could set up shop.This aggressive approach plus using rookie Kyrie Irving as an off-guard down in the final quarter, where he scored 13 points, helped to make things interesting. Cleveland shot 60 percent in the fourth quarter, slicing the previously large lead down to give them the chance to win.
Ray Allen was all over the place for Boston, playing the role of penetrator and playmaker in point guard Rajon Rondo's continued absence. Allen bolted down the lane on a number of possessions and flip a pass over his shoulder to a waiting Celtic jump shooter. Allen finished with only 10 shot attempts (12 points) and eight assists to lead the team.
The Celtics were very democratic with their shot distribution, with no Boston player having more than 14 shot attempts (Paul Pierce), and seven players with seven or more shot attempts. Pierce led Boston with 20 points (seven in the fourth quarter) and had six assists while Brandon Bass pitched in 13, including two late buckets and a 6-9 shooting night.
Irving continued to show his scoring prowess against Boston, leading Cleveland with 21 points overall and proving hard for even the energetic Avery Bradley to defend. Also, Anderson Varejao had 20 points and 20 rebounds for Cleveland in the loss, his first ever 20-20 game and the fourth player to do it this season. The 20 rebounds are a career high and the previous closest he came was a 16-point, 18-rebound game in 2008.
Jeff Clark at Celtics Blog exhales:
Deja vu isn't any fun when you are experiencing a nightmare all over again. The Celtics once again held a large lead in through 3 quarters and once again let the Cavs go on a huge run in the 4th quarter. They played passively and let Cleveland be the aggressors. This time, however, they had enough of a cushion (20 points at one point) that they were able to hang on by the skin of their teeth for the victory. Let's not do this again real soon, shall we?

This is the last of the Zilker Botanical Garden photowalk shots but was one of the first pictures I took after the walk started. The contrast between the smoothness of the diagonal stalks and the busy, high frequencies of the fibres between them attracted me. The picture just had to be black and white, of course.

State wildlife officials have opened registration for annual tours to observe greater sandhill cranes, a threatened bird that visits the Sacramento region each winter.
The cranes took a more prominent place in the news this week when the California Department of Water Resources announced plans to route a giant water diversion tunnel through Staten Island in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. The island, owned by The Nature Conservancy, is designated as protected habitat for cranes.
Sandhill cranes are thought to be oldest bird species on Earth, with fossil records dating back 10 million years.
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife organizes free docent-led crane-viewing tours from October through February at Woodbridge Ecological Reserve, near Lodi in San Joaquin County. Participants will also see other species, including swans, songbirds and raptors.
Tours are available the first three weekends of each month, October through February. To register, visit www.dfg.ca.gov/delta/cranetour.
Self-guided tours at the reserve are also available. And bird enthusiasts can also enjoy the 17th annual Lodi Sandhill Crane Festival Nov. 1-3.

Published September 19, 2011
Politics in America is quickly becoming a matter of life and death.
That grim reality was made clear during the recent CNN-Tea Party Express Republican presidential debate on September 12 [2011] by U.S. Rep. Ron Paul's answer, and audience response, to a health-care question posed by debate moderator and CNN journalist Wolf Blitzer.
Blitzer laid out a hypothetical scenario for Paul, asking how society should respond if a healthy 30-year-old man with a good income, who chooses not to purchase health insurance because he doesn't think he needs it, suddenly has some terrible experience that leaves him needing six months of intensive care.
"Who pays for that?" Blitzer asked.
Paul, a physician, said he would advise the young man to have a major medical policy.
"But what he should do is whatever he wants to do, and assume responsibility for himself," Paul said. "That's what freedom is all about: taking your own risks. This whole idea that you have to prepare and take care of everybody . . ."
Blitzer interrupted: "But Congressman, are you saying that society should just let him die?"
Before Paul could respond, there were enthusiastic shouts of "Yeah!" and "Yes!" from the audience.
"I practiced medicine before we had Medicaid, in the early 1960s when I got out of medical school," Paul said, after the shouting died down. "I practiced at Santa Rosa Hospital in San Antonio. And the churches took care of them. We never turned anybody away from the hospitals.
"And we've given up on this whole concept that we might take care of ourselves and assume responsibility for ourselves, our neighbors, our friends; our churches would do it," he said. "This whole idea -- that's the reason the cost is so high. The cost is so high because we dump it on the government."
Millions of people simply can't afford health insurance
The problem, with Blitzer's question as well as Paul's answer, is that most Americans who lack health insurance are not uninsured by choice. They aren't middle-class 30-year-olds with good jobs. They are seniors and children, and the unemployed or underemployed, many of them living in poverty. Most uninsured Americans either can't afford health insurance or have been denied coverage due to chronic or pre-existing conditions.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, which released its annual report on income, poverty and health insurance coverage the day after the Republican debate, the number of people in the United States without health insurance coverage rose to 49.9 million (16.3 percent) in 2010.
That's the highest number since Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965-when millions of seniors, low-income families and people with disabilities gained medical coverage for the first time-and the highest percentage since the 1976 recession. In 2010, 9.8 percent of children under 18 (7.3 million) were without health insurance; for children living in poverty, the uninsured rate was 15.4 percent.
Can churches and communities really replace health insurance?
Relying on people-helping-people rather than government services may sound good in the abstract, but there are simply too many variables with that approach to ensure that everyone who needs medical care will receive it. Although many Americans are both compassionate and generous, few people who are uninsured have a network of friends and family members with the means to provide them with health insurance or to help pay their medical bills.
Texas, the home state of two Republican presidential candidates-U.S. Rep Ron Paul and Gov. Rick Perry-shows the fallacy of that theory pretty clearly. Twenty-six percent of Texans are without health insurance, and the state has the nation's second-highest number of uninsured children.
The notion that churches and community organizations will fill the gap left by cuts in government services has become a mantra for politicians who want to dismantle America's social safety net--Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, unemployment benefits--or oppose new programs such as universal health care. Yet, Paul's memory of the good old days, when neighbors took care of each other and no one was ever denied medical attention, is wishful thinking at best.
People who can't afford medical care often go untreated. Some die as a result. That was as true 50 years ago as it is today.

Pope Benedict XVI is wanted by the Brussels Central Office over crimes against humanity and ordering a criminal conspiracy.
According to a statement by the Brussels Central Office, the pope, known as Pope Benedict XVI, Joseph Ratzinger resigned to avoid an impending warrant of arrest for him. His arrest, according to the statement, would also see to it that the property of the Vatican be seized.
"On Friday, February 1, 2013, on the basis of evidence supplied by our affiliated Common Law Court of Justice (itccs.org), our Office concluded an agreement with representatives of a European nation and its courts to secure an arrest warrant against Joseph Ratzinger, aka Pope Benedict, for crimes against humanity and ordering a criminal conspiracy," the statement read.
The statement explains that the warrant was going to be delivered to the office of the 'Holy See' in Rome Friday 15th February allowing the nation in question to detain the Pope as a suspect. However, before the warrant was issued, the statement claims that a diplomatic note was issued by the said nation's government to the Vatican's Secretary of State, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone on Monday asking the office to comply. "A diplomatic note was issued by the said nation's government to the Vatican's Secretary of State, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, on Monday, February 4, 2013, informing Bertone of the impending arrest warrant and inviting his office to comply. No reply to this note was received from Cardinal Bertone or his office; but six days later, Pope Benedict resigned," the statement continued.
Despite his resignation though, the nation still maintains the warrant of arrest and called onto the public to help. "It is the decision of our Tribunal and the said nation's government to proceed with the arrest of Joseph Ratzinger upon his vacating the office of the Roman Pontiff on a charge of crimes against humanity and criminal conspiracy," the statement said.
In addition to arresting the pope, the statement said it would continue with the Easter Reclamation Campaign in which the property of the Catholic church would be 'occupied and claimed by citizens as public assets forfeited under International Law and the Rome Statue of the International Criminal Court.'
"It is our further decision to proceed as well with the indictment and arrest of Joseph Ratzinger's successor as Pope on the same charges; and to enforce the commercial lien and "Easter Reclamation Campaign" against the Roman Catholic church, as planned. We call upon all citizens and governments to assist our efforts to legally and directly disestablish the Vatican, Inc. and arrest its chief officers and clergy who are complicit in crimes against humanity and the ongoing criminal conspiracy to aid and protect child torture and trafficking."
The reports are yet to be confirmed.

Mixing JDOM 1 and 2 in a Maven project
This article describes a question I asked on Stack Overflow. I'm including it here to keep all my technical articles in a single spot.
In a Maven based project some of the JUnit tests failed during a Maven site build. When executing
mvn clean package all tests pass. But when executing
mvn clean site some tests produce errors:
Could not initialize class org.jdom2.input.sax.XMLReaders
These errors occur in a class that uses ROME to parse RSS data. The errors did not happen when the ROME dependency was not yet included in the project so I expect that is the cause. ROME has a dependency to JDOM 2.0.2.
My project includes the cobertura-maven-plugin to generate a test coverage report and this plugin also has a dependency to JDOM. It uses Jaxenwhich needs JDOM 1.0
My guess is that while executing the site goal, the Cobertura plugin is active and the JDOM version 1.0 is used by the class under test. This causes the errors in the ROME library because of the incorrect JDOM version.
The problem was solved by setting a system value during program startup:
I found this solution in this post: JDOM2: This parser does not support specification "null" version "null".

I don't know what happened to the previous thread but after this exciting FA period (which is still on-going) I feel the need to speculate about what we do in the draft is primed for chat-time. Especially with the overall #11! To help further the debate, these are my thoughts on the subject (continued FA, trades, and draft talk are all welcome here).
* sources include: nfldraftgeek, sideline scouting, drafttek, walterfootball, nfl.com, optimumscouting
Free Agency: Aubrayo Franklin 6'1 317? (NFL.com says he's 317, maybe if he has a tapeworm, I doubt it).
via ts2.mm.bing.net
Trade: Glenn Dorsey + our 3rd to get STL's #39 overall
Why trade Dorsey? He's excellent run support, Bailey is still developing and weak against the run, why not leave him be? We have a decent DL, especially now that Rogers/Franklin are in the middle and eating up space so this is a risky venture. Plus STL would never go for it.
STL needs a lot of help in a lot of places. They run the 4-3 they have two first round picks, two second round picks, and another two firsts for the next two years after. One of their pressing needs is at DT. They could draft one, our they could take a fair trade on a seasoned, versatile young man (who was thought to be the second coming of Warren Sapp) and have the assurance of knowing they're getting a quality player in Glenn.
Why trade him? Because he does not fit our defense. Regardless of his ability to play the run, our run-D still ranked 26th in the league. We ranked 30th in sacks. Dorsey struggles against one-on-one situations and lacks the physical ability to push the pocket or rush the passer. While he is not the worst player, due to his size and the type of scheme we run, he is a liability overall to our defense. He fits the 4-3 to a T. I say give him the chance to make himself known with a team that could put his skill-set to proper use. We benefit, they benefit. Win-Win in my book.
Draft: Trade down with Cincy for their #21 and #84 overall (just got our 3rd back)
1. Devon Still DT/DE Penn St
-Possibly the "best run-stuffer" in the draft and has the ability to consistently command a double team while still pushing the pocket. Should help take a load of pressure off of Hali.
2a. Kevin Zeitler OG Wisconsin
- Solid big body (6'4, 315lbs) that excels at run blocking. With Cassel at the helm and JC/Hillis in the backfield Zeitler solidifies a superb ground assault.
2b. Doug Martin RB Boise St
-Martin is a blue collar guy who is the most well rounded RB in the draft. He excels at pass blocking and provides us with excellent quality depth behind Hillis, who will most likely test FA next season.
3. Antonio Allen SS S. Carolina
-Big safety who is tremendous in run support and a sure tackler. Solid depth behind Berry and a great looking special teamer in the making.
4. Ladarius Green TE Louis-Laff.
-Big receiving type TE with great hands and athleticism. Somewhat injury prone. Goes perfect with our other two TE's. Developmental prospect in the blocking department, but has the qualities to make for a dangerous receiver.
5. David Molk C Michigan
-Smaller C but quick and highly intelligent. Good depth for Hudson.
6. Vontaze Burfict ILB Arizona State
- This is what gets you excited. These (plural) are reasons not to be. Immensely talented athlete that needs a mentor and/or therapist. This pick is a low risk/high reward type of pick and under Crennel and the guidance of DJ and Berry, I think maybe we could get Burfict back into beast-mode. And if not, he was a 6th round pick, no biggie.
7a. Devon Wylie WR Fresno St
-Wes Welker 2.0, end of story.
7b. J.B. Shugarts OT/G The Ohio State
-Depth, has experience playing RT and G. Small for an OT though, will need to bulk up.
While I know my ideal draft is more of a dream, I believe in the words of Oscar Wilde," there are only two tragedies in life: One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it."

Everett Golson threw touchdown passes of 50, 34 and 2 yards, Cierre Wood scored on a 68-yard run and third-ranked Notre Dame beat Wake Forest 38-0 Saturday to finish the season undefeated at home for the first time since 1998 and keep alive its national championship hopes.
The Fighting Irish improved to 11-0 for the first time since 1989 and need to beat Southern California to finish a regular season undefeated for the first time since 1988, the last time they won a national championship. The Demon Deacons (5-6) fell to 1-33 all-time against top 5 teams, their lone win coming against No. 4 Tennessee in 1946.
The victory virtually assures the Irish of a berth in a BCS game. The Irish need to beat USC and likely need either No. 1 Oregon or No. 2 Kansas State to lose to qualify for the BCS title game.

It's not as if those in the Northeast have not experienced bone-chilling cold or that it is predicted to extend from the Midwest down into our southern States. There may possibly be a snow storm that will require the National Football League to reschedule the Sunday, February 2nd Super Bowl at the MetLife stadium in East Rutherford, NJ. Crews spent 18 hours working to remove the snow from last week's storm.
A visit to IceAgeNow.info yielded headlines of news stories last week that included "Record Cold--Millions of Americans hit by Propane Shortage", "Ice and Snow Closed Texas highways This Morning", "Ice-cover Shuts Down Work on New Hudson River Bridge", and so you understand this is a global phenomenon, "Kashmir--Heaviest January Snowfall in a Decade", "Heavy Snowfall Sweeps Eastern Turkey", "Romania--Heavy Snowfall and Blizzard". And "Bangkok Suffers Coldest Night in Three Decades--Death Roll Mounts."
Meteorologist Joe D'Aleo of WeatherBell Analytics and editor of IceCap.us says that, as the President addresses the nation on Tuesday, every State will have freezing temperatures and parts or all of 27 States will be below zero.
All this is occurring as President Barack Obama is anticipated to talk about "climate change", a warming Earth, during his Tuesday State of the Union speech. He will be speaking to the idiots who still think the Earth is warming because they are too stupid or lazy to ask why it is so cold.
Michael Bastasch, writing for The Daily Caller on Saturday, confirmed D'Aleo's and other meteorologist's forecasts. "The bitter cold that has hit the US East Coast is expected throughout February, and on Jan 28--the day of the address--the Mid-Atlantic region is expected to be hit with freezing cold air that could drive temperatures below zero in big cities among the I-95 corridor."
Washington, DC, will be one of those cities, but as Bastasch reported, "Environmentalists and liberal groups are urging Obama to use the speech to reaffirm his commitment to fighting global warming. 'President Obama should rank the battle against climate change as one of his top priorities in his State of the Union speech next week', said Center for Clean Air Policy president Ned Heime."
For environmentalists, it does not matter if the real climate is a deep cold. They committed to the lies about global warming in the late 1980s and the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel and Climate Change (IPCC) has maintained the hoax ever since. Along the way we learned that the computer models on which it based its assertions and predictions were rigged and bogus, but that has not deterred the IPCC which is now referring to a "pause" in global warming. This is lying on a global scale.
It was the environmental group Greenpeace that put out a television advertisement featuring a Santa Claus telling children that he might have to call off Christmas because the North Pole was melting. How malicious can they get? When a group of global warming scientists and tourists took a ship to the Antarctic to measure the "melting" ice down there, the ship got caught in the ice which also resisted the efforts of two icebreaker ships to rescue them.
We are dealing with environmental groups, the IPCC and government leaders like Obama for whom the telling of huge and blatantly obvious lies about global warming is nothing compared to the billions generated by the hoax for the universities and scientists that line their pockets supporting it and industries that benefit by offering ways to capture carbon dioxide or conserve energy by first banning incandescent light bulbs.
The "pause" has lasted now for seventeen years and, as is the case with all climate on the Earth, the reason is the Sun.
A report published by CBN News noted that "The last time the sun was this quiet, North America and Europe suffered through a weather event from the 1600s to the 1800s known as 'Little Ice Age' when the Thames River in London regularly froze solid, and North America saw terrible winters. Crops failed and people starved."
Jens Pedersen, a senior scientist at Denmark's Technical University, said that climate scientists know the Earth stopped warming 15 years ago. But the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, of which Pedersen is an expert reviewer, suppressed a recent report from its own scientists that the UN's climate model has been proven wrong.
"Global warming is nowhere to be found," said David Deming, a geophysicist at the University of Colorado, in a January 16 commentary in The Washington Times. "As frigid conditions settled over the nation, global-warming alarmists went into full denial mode", adding that "weather extremes also seem to bring out the lunatic fringe" and that is why the public is being told that cold weather has been caused by global warming!
Whatever the President has to say about "climate change" should be taken as just one more example of five years of lies to advance policies that have nothing to do with the welfare of Americans needing jobs or the execrable Obamacare attack on the US healthcare system.
The cold reality may well be a Super Bowl played on another day and a President for whom the truth is incidental to his shredding of the US Constitution, the increase in the nation's ever-growing debt, a lagging economy, and his intention to by-pass Congress rather than working with it.
That kind of thing will put a chill up any American's spine if you think about it.

Well, the Saraphobes are obviously becoming desperate. A year of slander by the establishment media has failed to bring her down, and redneck cum pin-up boy Levi Johnston has failed to produce the earth-shattering revelation he has repeatedly promised, so now they're reverting to wackjob Michael Wooten.
Wooten, you will recall, was at the heart of an "investigation" carried out by Alaska Democrats that became known as "troopergate." The ostensible purpose of this "investigation" involved Governor Palin'Äôs firing of Walt Monegan, an official who was using his office to protect the crazy and dangerous Wooten.
Wooten, whose¬†many offenses included Tasering¬†a 10-year-old, was involved in a divorce with Palin'Äôs sister and¬†Monegan claimed that the Governor fired him because he wouldn'Äôt persecute her brother-in-law. Despite the existence of a tape proving Monegan a liar, the 'Ä?investigation'Ä? was fast-tracked to inflict maximum damage on the McCain-Palin campaign.
Needless to say, this charade was aided and abetted by the various "news" media and a host of prominent Obots in the blogosphere. Now, apparently at wit's end, they have exhumed Wooten from the obscurity he so richly deserves and culled a few slanderous quotes from of his semi-coherent maunderings:
After reading passages from Palin's memoirs Going Rogue that deal with his marriage and subsequent divorce, a 'fed up' Mike Wooten, 37, who still serves as an Alaska State Trooper in Anchorage, called the book 'a pack of lies.'
The only real surprise here is that Wooten can read. It is certainly no shock that the Geoffrey Dunn piece from which the above quote was taken ignores mountains of evidence that Wooten is a disgrace to his uniform and that Monegan was lying. It also reports the "findings" of the phony investigation as if they were legitimate.
The irony here is that this kind of BS transcends mere dishonesty—-it is stupid. To a very real extent, Sarah Palin is a creation of the Sarahphobes. Their relentless slander has turned her into a rock star. Many people will see her being attacked by Wooten¬†and think, "Anyone this creep¬†hates can't be all bad."
Evidently, Sarahphobia extends beyond our northern border. Hot Air highlights a video that purports to show Palin in a bad light, only it doesn't. It would appear that Canadians aren't any better at pwn3ng than they are at delivering health care.

Henry Medical Center is taking part in a national program to recognize nurses for their contributions to patient care.In May, the hospital will begin giving monthly DAISY Awards to members of its nursing staff. DAISY is an acronym for Diseases Attacking the Immune System. The DAISY program was launched in 2000 by the family of J. Patrick Barnes. He died in 1999 at the age of 33 due to complications from idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, a disease which produces a low platelet count, said Jackie Fogle, a lead administrative supervisor for nurses at Henry Medical Center. "While he was in the hospital, the family was really impressed with the nurses that took care of Patrick," said Fogle. "So after Patrick died, they wanted to do something for the nurses to show their appreciation. So they started the DAISY program. It has evolved into a national program to recognize nurses all over the country, that provide extraordinary care every day." Fogle said she is excited about the program because it enables nurses to interact with patients, and their families, beyond a hospital room, through the nomination process. "A lot of times ... nurses don't hear back from some of the lives that they've touched," said Fogle. "This is just a way for the nurses to be recognized, to let them know that everything they do is appreciated." She said the DAISY Awards will also have a positive impact on the morale of the nursing staff. "Health care is a very stressful environment," Fogle said. "You get a lot of outcomes that aren't always positive. This is a way that families can show the nurses they appreciate what was done for them when they were here. For the nurses, it's important because they can also be nominated by their peers [or] by physicians. It's for any nurse that shows extraordinary care, that goes out of her way to do something that you wouldn't ordinarily expect her to do." The first DAISY Award will be given May 7, as part of National Nurses Week. Each winning nurse will receive a hand-carved stone sculpture entitled, "A Healer's Touch," a certificate, and a party for his or her floor at the hospital. The party, said Fogle, will include Cinnabons, a favorite food of Patrick Barnes. "When Patrick was dying, his father brought him Cinnabons one morning, and it kind of perked him up," said Fogle. "So we incorporated that into the award. The floor that the [winning] nurse works on gets a Cinnabon party. Even though she's being recognized by herself, we know that it takes the whole village." Barnes' former wife, Tena Barnes Carraher, will give the first DAISY Award, Fogle added. Donna Braddy, director of marketing and public relations for Henry Medical Center, said the awards pay tribute to some of the most important people at the hospital. "They're the ones that are providing all the great care, and doing all the wonderful things that happen here, and they touch people's lives every day," said Braddy. "I meet people all the time that tell me stories about a nurse who's really done something amazing. This recognition is just a small way to say thank you' ... to somebody who's saved a life or made a difference. That's something we really believe in, so we want to hear the stories from patients out there who want our nurses to be nominated." Henry Medical Center's DAISY program is sponsored by the hospital Auxiliary. Nomination boxes are posted at every unit in the hospital, and in the lobbies of the North and South towers, Fogle said. Nomination forms are also available online at www.henrymedical.com.
