confortable desk and chair, flat TV, shower water is really good
the bothtub bottorm is not flat, so you must be careful for not to fall. Can the staff have some smile in their faces?
The shower didn't work and the was a weed smell in the room.
There was a lot of people yelling and walking in the middle of the night and we didn't sleep much because my boyfriend thought it was haunted
Constant walking at night
Fridge, microwave & coffee maker.
The desk lamp has a very poor cover, falling apart. Some ants found in room.
Beds were comfortable and room was newly renovated. Decorations were nice. T.V. channels were great and reception was good. There is low price, delicious Chinese restaurant within walking distance.
Some of the outlets did not work. National City is kind of scary.
The interior of the room was clean, and well maintained. It is what sold me on the stay. Staff friendly and cooperative. You get what you pay for. There was value here.
The outside of the property was very compound, other side of the tracks like.
bed was comfortable, staff was friendly, easy located next to the freeway
it was ghetto. i had gang writtings scratched in my mirrors like prison, people 2 doors down smoking weed, floor cut up , and water made rattling noise all night
Central location to both NAS North Island and 32nd Street Naval base. The ramp to catch the bridge over to North Island was nearby and it is only about a mile from 32nd Street entrance.
Cockroaches in bathroom, noise all hours of the night in the parking lot such as honking horns, people partying, headlights of cars shining in our window, etc. Oh to be young sailors once again....lol.
Price Location
Loud music lots of noise in parking lot and people milling around
Fairly quiet inside the room. Carpet seemed newer. Walls seemed recently painted. Had a microwave though I think they put the wrong plate in because it's not spinning even though there was a rotating shaft underneath.
Staff - Poor service. During our 3-day stay, they only collected the used towels ONCE. That's it. They did not replace the used towels that they took out (I had to go out and get some more), did not take out the trash, did not make the beds, did not clean up the sink or re-stock the toiletries - nothing! Un-cleanliness - When we first got inside I noticed there was a cheese-like stain on the bed cover - yuck. I took the covers and shoved them in the corner of the room. I've read somewhere that it's common practice to not wash the bed covers in between guests, but they should at least replace it if there's such a disgusting stain come on. The fridge was slightly grimy, and the walls in the bathroom had stains. Location - National city is a calm but ghetto-looking city. Barely any lighting at night (the only lights seem to be from the traffic lights). Wi-fi - There were times when it's decent and there were times when it's slow and there were even times when it plain just doesn't work even though you are connected to it.
Location, price
Pillows, towels weren't very good.
Beds are cimfortable. Convenient parking just outside our room. Spacious.
Non smoking rooms smelled cigarettes. Registration office where pastries & coffee were served smelled awful like indian curry or spices

Steve Lowery sat under a clear blue sky, with flags waving in the chilly breeze at the Veterans Wall of Honor in McDonough. The U.S. Navy, Vietnam veteran expressed gratitude for those who came to Henry County, Friday, to honor him and others, on Veterans Day."Veterans put their lives on the line for the freedom of this country," said Lowery, 65, of McDonough. "I think it's very grand that they keep appreciating the people who do this, even through today in Afghanistan. We need to honor those people that serve." Lowery's comments came moments prior to a Veterans Day Celebration at Heritage Park. Military veterans from various branches of the U.S. Armed Forces were among the hundreds of people in attendance for the annual event, which was sponsored by Marine Corps League Detachment 1339, in McDonough. The ceremony included patriotic music performed by the Strong Rock Christian School band, and a Presentation of the Colors by students in the Luella High School Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps Unit. Lowery added that he is thankful for Henry County's continued efforts to recognize the sacrifices of the military through the Veterans Wall. "This whole complex here is just wonderful," he said. "It's just an honor, especially the ones that fell to support this country." Boo Boucher, of Locust Grove, said he served in the U.S. Army in Vietnam, and was at the Veterans Wall on Friday. He said discussing his time in the military during the controversial conflict, is still not an easy task. "It's kind of hard to share," said Boucher, 69. "It's easier to talk to someone who had been there." Nevertheless, he, too, was thankful for those who went to Heritage Park to show their support for the military. "It gives you a warm, fuzzy feeling," said Boucher. "I appreciate their interest. It makes you feel good about them." The sentiment echoed throughout the county, at different observances recognizing military veterans. Met by a biting Friday morning chill, many joined students from Stockbridge Elementary School in expressing their support of veterans during the Veterans Day Parade in Stockbridge. The parade included veterans, young and old, as well as various support organizations such as the McDonough Detachment 1339 of the Marine Corps League. Members of the Stockbridge High School Marching Band, and Navy JROTC Unit, also took part in the annual affair. The unit's color guard did double duty, having presented the colors earlier Friday morning at Austin Road Elementary School to open its annual "Take a Vet to School Day" assembly. The school assembly recognized roughly three dozen veterans. Among them was 86-year-old Charles Blanford, a World War II vet, who was invited by three of his great-grandchildren. His veteran son, John Blanford, also attended the assembly. John Blanford, 60, said he served during an "unpopular" Vietnam War and understands the importance of recognizing veterans' contributions to the world, as well as those of the men and women currently serving. "I wish them the best," said John Blanford. "We appreciate everything they've done. For us, it wasn't a very pleasant time. [But] I hope we — the leaders of this country — use better judgment when it comes to our military." The Blanfords and other invited veterans were treated to breakfast at Austin Road Elementary, following Friday morning's assembly. Army Spc. Josh Cook, 31, sat down for breakfast with his 6-year-old son, Ethan, and 8-year-old daughter, Keily. He relished his time with his children, days before his son's seventh birthday, as he recently returned from a month serving in Germany. "For what we do, it's not a walk in the park," said Cook. "I believe for all the service and sacrifice that everybody puts into the military, any kind of recognition is appreciated."

Trail closed at least until spring after slideOctober 2, 2013 @ 12:43 pm
DENVER (AP) - A popular Colorado trail where a rock slide killed five members of the same family will remain closed at least until spring, the U.S. Forest Service said Wednesday, and one local official believes the closure should be permanent.
Forest Service experts will have to inspect the site to see if it is feasible and safe to rebuild the trail after it was buried by boulders on Monday, said John Peterson, deputy supervisor for the San Isabel National Forest, which manages the trail. That inspection won't happen until after the coming winter, he said.
Chaffee County Undersheriff John Spezze said the trail should be closed permanently, calling it a "public safety hazard." Spezze said geologists from Climax Molybdenum, a Colorado mining operation, went to the site and thought it was too dangerous to reopen.
A spokesman for Climax Molybdenum's parent company, Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc., said the geologists would not be made available for interviews.
What triggered the slide is still under investigation.
Life-threatening rock slides are rare and difficult for hikers to prepare for and protect against, Peterson said.
"It's such an extreme event, and it's so uncommon, I don't know what you do," he said.
Peterson said the Forest Service will consult with the sheriff's office and area residents before deciding whether to reopen the trail.
The slide killed a couple from the nearby town of Buena Vista, one of their daughters and two of their nephews from Missouri. Another daughter survived with a broken leg after her father shielded her.
The sheriff's department identified the dead as Dwayne Johnson, 46, Dawna Johnson, 45, and their 18-year-old daughter, Kiowa-Rain Johnson.
The other victims were identified as Baigen (BAY'-zhun) Walker, 10, and Paris Walkup, 22, both of Birch Tree, Mo. They were nephews of Dwayne and Dawna Johnson.
Gracie Johnson, 13, told rescuers her father jumped on top of her when boulders began to crash down around them. Rescuers said Dwayne Johnson probably saved his daughter's life.
Gracie was being treated at The Children's Hospital in suburban Denver. The hospital said the girl and her family were grateful for the public's concern but had no other comment. The hospital said it could not release any information about her condition.
A memorial service for the Johnsons was set for Saturday in Buena Vista. Separate services were being organized for the nephews in Missouri.
The short, scenic trail to Agnes Vaille Falls is a local favorite.

Bunker Hill pushed as hard as they could on the tennis court Wednesday, but Maiden refused to yield.
The Lady Blue Devils (17-2, 13-0) knocked off the Lady Bears (10-3, 14-4) for the second time this season, and in the process, clinched their third-straight conference title.
"It really is quite an accomplishment," said Maiden coach Jon Huffman. "When I started here a couple of years ago, we had to start from scratch. It was tough. That first year was tough. The last three years, we've been very fortunate."
Dennis Woodrow Wilson, 41, of Newton, died Tuesday, Oct. 4, 2011 at Catawba Valley Medical Center in Hickory. Burke Mortuary in Newton is serving the Wilson family.
Kimberly Karen Hollar, 49, of Hickory, died Tuesday, Oct. 4, 2011 at her residence. The Hollar family has entrusted funeral arrangements to Drum Funeral Home, 940 29th Ave. NE, Hickory, NC 28601.
It's the hottest item on a car thief's wish list.
Catalytic converters, parts in the exhaust system used to reduce emissions, have become a prominent target for thieves because of the high price tag some carry. The car parts contain elements like platinum and rhodium, precious metals that often sell for thousands of dollars per ounce. As prices for those metals continue to skyrocket, authorities say larcenies will remain prominent as well.
Newton-Conover High School students learned facts about the health care system that surprised them Wednesday morning.
Luckily, the students had Lanier Cansler – the state secretary for Health and Human Services and a 1971 Bandys High School graduate – in their health occupations classroom to explain the system.
A man who led Claremont police on a chase all the way to Conover is in custody.
Hickory police arrested Adrian Durrand Johnson Jr. on Tuesday on drug charges, three days after he led a Claremont police officer on the chase.
Claremont officer D. Allen was on patrol at about 3:30 a.m. Monday when he noticed a truck in the parking lot of the RockTenn business at 2690 Kelly Boulevard in Claremont.
Knowing the business was closed, Allen pulled into the parking lot to check on the truck, which then took off at a fast speed, said Claremont Police Chief Gerald Tolbert.
Authorities have sought Boyce Dean Travis, 34, of Maiden, since he was spotted trying to break into an elderly woman's home on Sept. 17.
Travis and his nephew, Brandon Lee Yarborough, 19, of Maiden, tried to break into the residence around 6:35 a.m. Sept. 17 but did not gain entry, police said.
When the men returned to their car outside the house, a neighbor called police and reported the suspicious activity, police said.
Upon arrival, Maiden Police Officer Ptl. Stikeleather located a small gold-colored vehicle with two white men inside.
Businesses in Newton can sell merchandise on the sidewalk in front of their locations — although city code hasn't officially prevented them from doing so in the recent past.

ST. LAWRENCE COUNTY, N.Y. -- Firefighters in St. Lawrence County received good news Monday. Assemblywoman Addie Russell announced she has secured $100,000 to add to their fundraising efforts to build a new fire training center.
The current fire training center, located at the West Potsdam Fire Department, was condemned due to structural issues. A grassroots fundraising effort has been underway to replace the facility and this new money will help the group meet their $300,000 goal.
All 41 fire departments in St. Lawrence County will be able to use the new facility.

Williams did not have a great German GP and found themselves lapping at the back of the pack with Lotus, Virgin and Hispania...
Pastor Maldonado: "It was a really tough race today. We were quite competitive in the second stint on a new set of Option tyres but then when we went onto the Prime tyres for the last stint we were losing time. Our pace wasn't as good and we lost a few places. We tried hard, but it wasn't to be today."
Rubens Barrichello: "We were doing quite well after making a good start and were looking comfortable for a two-stop strategy but then the team came on the radio and called me in with an oil leak. I wanted to continue but the team said there was no way and that was the right decision. It was slippery out there at the start but the main issue was the cold weather making it difficult to get the temperature into the tyres."
Team Lotus:
Heikki Kovalainen: "I think that was a pretty good race. For me everything was working well in the car but honestly it was a bit lonely out there! We're not quite with the guys ahead, and we're well clear of the teams behind, so I wanted to make sure I could push as hard as possible over the full race distance, not make any mistakes and get the car home in one piece. We are progressing in the right direction, and it will take time to be able to really fight with the guys in front, but we'll get there."
Karun Chandhok: "That's a full race distance completed and an awful lot of learning under my belt. Honestly, that probably wasn't the race I wanted -I had a couple of high speed spins and I think I need more time to get used to the tyres. When they start to go off there's very little give compared to last year's rubber, but that's all part of the learning process and I'm glad I got the car home and did the best job I could."
Timo Glock: "After a positive start to the day with the announcement about my future with the team, it was quite a difficult race today. I struggled with the braking system from the middle of the race onwards and I wasn't able to push late on in the race, so we have to look into the problem. Otherwise thanks to the team for a good weekend at my home Grand Prix. A shame it was so cold for everyone but we head to Hungary now for better weather and I hope we can have another good result there."
Jerome D'Ambrosio: "I'm happy about the weekend. I feel like I'm back on the right track and although there's definitely more improvements I can make, particularly in qualifying, I'm going in the right direction. The last few weekends have been a bit tough and this is the one I'll be focusing on. I'd like to keep this momentum in Hungary before the break and stay as close as possible to Timo."
Daniel Ricciardo: "It was good to finish. I think we've made a good step from Silverstone but there's still quite a long way to go. It's quite a steep learning curve but I think I've climbed a little bit of that this week. If I can keep this way then I'm sure that in a few races time the progress will be more obvious by, hopefully, finishing a few positions further up. If I can make the same step from Silverstone for Hungary then it's going to look more promising. I'm quite happy with the progress."
Tonio Liuzzi: "It was a shame because, even though the penalisation for the gearbox meant we had to start from P23, we had a strong start where we passed a few cars on the first lap and had good pace. A few laps into the race we started to suffer some problems with the brake balance and we lost quite a bit of pace. After the pit stop, with the tyre change, we recovered our strong pace until an unfortunate electronic issue forced us to retire. Overall, there's been an improvement from Silverstone but we need to push harder and cannot relax for the next race. Luckily, the Hungarian GP is around the corner and we have to look ahead. It will be a difficult one because the track doesn't suit our car much but we will fight as usual."

October 3, 2013
I had a super busy month getting to lots of shows to pass out magazines. Plus I have been busy photographing. I spent a nice day with our cover barn Caballos Del Mar and a fun time at Murphy's Sporthorses photographing for the ISR Keuring. I have some really fun foal shots that you can see on our Facebook page. Having shed my title of publisher has freed me up to do the fun stuff of passing out magazines, finding good story ideas and helping get great photos for
the magazine.
Next month you'll see some interesting photographs of Sarah Baldwin's three cloned foals from her Grand Prix horse Pacifico. You'll also see them on the 2014 California Horseman's Directory!
This month we feature western dressage, fall fashion and bring you some of our gift buying ideas. Watch for more gift suggestions in our November and December issues. Also, next month we feature eventing. Plus we will have Red Bucket Rescue as our cover story. As we head into the holiday season, be sure to put your favorite horse rescue on your gift giving list.
Please call, email or Facebook us with your story ideas and we look forward to bringing you the all the news in the California horse industry.
Happy Riding!

|Hello! My nectar Oriole Feeder just broke because it fell and I was wondering which are the best oriole feeders on the market? Are the ones shaped like hummzingers good? Also how long can I keep them in my neighborhood (first two housees away from me)? Once they leave that little area they go to an empty lot where there are wild berries.Please help. Thanks in advance.

I don't know about Oriole feeders, I've never seen one in my area. I have a Hummzinger for the hummers and I absolutely love its ant/bee/wasp free design. I'd have to assume their Oriole feeder would be just as good. Just my $.02 FWIW
Good luck getting them to stay though! It's nice to be able to watch the wild creatures so close and keep them feed and sheltered!.
Sunday I watched a pair of Cedar Waxwings shredding my coco fiber hanging basket. They were so close I could hear their faint high pitched squeeky communication!
|Thanks spaceman13! I have a hummingbird feeder on my porch and its only a few feet away from the kitchen table. Its so fun to watch them eat as we eat:) I hope they stick around. They usaully stay for the wild strawberries a few days. I will put out oranges untill I get the feeder.

Researchers have found differences in brain scans of babies with autism, which could put them on the track in the future for earlier diagnosis:
The early signs of autism are visible in the brains of 6-month-old infants, a new study finds, suggesting that future treatments could be given at this time, to lessen the impact of the disorder on children.
Researchers looked at how the brain develops in early life, and found that tracts of white matter that connect different regions of the brain didn't form as quickly in children who later developed autism, compared with kids who didn't develop the disorder.
"The way the wiring was changing was dampened" in the children with autism, said study researcher Jason Wolff, who studies developmental disabilities at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. "It was a more blunted change over time, in how the brain was being wired,"
In contrast, in the brains of infants who did not later develop autism, white matter tracts were swiftly forming, Wolff said. "Their brains were organizing themselves in a pretty rapid fashion."
The findings suggest that during a child's first year, "there is a potential to intervene, to disrupt autism before it becomes entrenched," Wolff said. "There are a lot of possibilities to improve outcomes for these children."

PRN (especially CNAs) question!
- 0Mar 27, '13 by Jennilee8380How much is a PRN nurse aide typically required to work to keep their job? I know it varies from place to place, but I'd like to get a general idea.
- 0Mar 27, '13 by TheCommuter, ASN, RN Senior ModeratorAt my workplace, PRN staff must work once every two pay periods. Since each pay period is two weeks, a PRN staff member must work at least one shift every four weeks to avoid getting autoterminated.
- 0Mar 27, '13 by RunnerRN2b2014We self-schedule for 6 weeks at a time. I have to work a minimum of two 12-hour shifts during those 6 weeks.
- 0Mar 27, '13 by JumpinJax32 days a month.
- 0Mar 27, '13 by havehopeWell I have two PRN jobs. One at a LTC/Rehab facility and one at a hospital. At the LTC facility I have to work 3 days within 3 months so, basically one shift a month. If not, you'll get taken off payroll. For the hospital, you have to work 2 shifts a month either 8 hours or 12 hours. I really like PRN. At both places I work you can create your schedule, so if you're in nursing school it helps out a lot.

Samsung's double-sided TV remote boasts a QWERTY keypad
Similar to the Boxee Box remote control, Samsung's RMC-QTD1 has standard TV controls on its front and a QWERTY pad on its flip side. Does Samsung's twofer work?
That I can't tell you. The RMC-QTD1 is a Bluetooth remote made specifically to work with Samsung's Smart TVs. We saw a bunch of really slick Samsung HDTVs at CES and this ugly remote would totally clash with those slick sets. Obviously the QWERTY pad will make inputting text on Twitter, Facebook, Netflix, etc. much easier and is a welcome addition to the remote. I like the double-sided remote idea, but it's the execution in design that's terrible.
Looking at the remotes on my couch, I can tell you right now, whoever designs remote controls needs a crash course in simplicity and elegance. Why are all of these remotes so complicated and ugly to look at? I understand that remotes are most likely engineered to survive being tossed around the house, but can we get some slicker ones please?

A former Lake Isabella nurse was sentenced to three years in prison for illegally sedating nursing home patients, leading to the deaths of three. The state Attorney General's Office said this is the first conviction and sentence of its kind in the nation.
Families of the patients who died said they wish the prison sentence was longer for Gwen Hughes, but after six years they're happy she was punished at all.
"It was a tough six years," said Bonnie Fieler, granddaughter of one of the patients who died under the care of Gwen Hughes.
Tears and pleas came from the family of Fannie May Brinkley as her granddaughters asked the judge for the maximum sentence.
"We all loved her dearly. She was the only grandparent we ever knew and we all trusted them," said Tammy Peters in court. Peters is the granddaughter of Brinkley.
Brinkley starved to death in December 2006 after losing her appetite as a result of being given a mood disorder drug. She was one of 23 patients at the Kern Valley Healthcare District's Skilled Nursing Facility, who were inappropriately given high doses of a sedative after they were deemed uruly or noisy.
"Whoever thinks I am going to put my loved one in this place so she can be abused?" said Patty Peters, Brinkley's granddaughter.
According to investigation documents, it was all under the direction of the facility's director of nursing, Gwen Hughes.
"She ordered this done so she has to pay the consequence," said Tammy Peters.
A judge sentenced the 59-year-old to three years in prison.
"I wish it could have been more, but we got what we could and that's all we can ask for," said Peters.
Hughes' nursing license was also revoked.
"That was the whole point of us being here today," said Fieler. "So that she can't get away with this, so she can't do it to anybody else."
The state Deputy Attorney General said this is possibly the first conviction in the nation of illegal chemical restraint in a nursing home.
"It's never a good day when someone goes to prison, but on the other hand, it's necessary to get justice for some of our most vulnerable of citizens," said Steve Muni, Deputy Attorney General.
The family is optimistic Wednesday's sentence will set a precedent.
"We didn't just do this for us. We did it hoping it can help other people and maybe prevent this from happening again," said Peters.
Hughes and her defense attorney declined to comment. There is a pending civil suit against Hughes.
A pharmacist, facility administrator and doctor have all been sentenced to probation for their involvement.

Pair of shelters making holidays brighter for needy North Shore families
Updated On: Dec 16 2013 06:16:28 PM EST
Two North Shore shelters are making the season brighter for the 14 families who live there.
At Citizens for Adequate Housing, one shelter provides emergency housing while the other offers sober-living for parents trying to find stability for their kids and themselves.
"We all decorated the tree," said resident Sarah Johnson. "We did it, you know, as a family and all the kids and the parents were here."
"Close to 100 people in our two shelters," said Corey Jackson of Citizens for Adequate Housing. "Children and the rest made up of mostly moms, single moms with one or two kids."
Georgina de la Campa shares a room with her 2-year-old son.
"He thinks that everyone is a playmate pretty much. And he has a lot of friends here," she said. "His happiness is the foundation for my recovery, I would say."
Citizens for Adequate Housing runs both shelters and rents 16 apartments to very low-income tenants.
"The need is really consistent all year long. During the holidays, there's a little bit more in terms of wanting to provide that little bit extra for your family in terms of gifts for your children and warm clothing," Jackson said.
The shelters rely heavily on donations from the community -- and are trying hard to raise $10,000 in the next two months.

The Regional Flagship "Low Carbon, High Growth: Latin American Responses to Climate Change" lays out the conceptual and operational framework for climate change work in the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region and identifies the need for better knowledge of country context in implementation of specific climate change activities.
The Country Notes are a useful tool for organizing in a systematic way the available information on climate change and agriculture in each country. They provide a brief summary of information pertinent to both climate change and agriculture in 19 countries in LAC, with focus on policy developments (action plans and programs), institutional make-up, specific adaptation and mitigation strategies, as well as social aspects and insurance mechanisms to address risk in the sector.
Acknowledgements: The Country Notes were produced by a team of specialists in agriculture, forestry, social development, risk and knowledge management from the Latin America and Caribbean region and other units of the World Bank. The team was lead by Svetlana Edmeades, with guidance from Willem Janssen and Ethel Sennhauser. The Notes were composed by Cristina Dengel with inputs from Diji Chandrasekharan Behr and Gregory Frey (forestry), Sophia Georgieva and Carina Bachofen (social issues), Ana Bucher (land management), Diego Arias (insurance), as well as Alexandra Horst, Erick Fernandes, Ana Francisca Ramirez Copelos, Erwin de Nys and many others who dedicated time and effort on this task. A special recognition goes to Luis Liceaga for the design of the Country Notes and to Claudia Hernandez and Beatriz Franco for all their invaluable logistical support. Last, but not least, the team is very grateful for all the comments and suggestions received from the focal points on climate change and agriculture in many of the LAC countries.

There is not a truth existing which I fear or would wish unknown to the whole world.Thomas Jefferson
Rebellion without truth is like spring in a bleak, arid desert.Kahlil Gibran
Art-speech is the only truth. An artist is usually a damned liar, but his art, if it be art, will tell you the truth of his day. And that is all that matters. Away with eternal truth.D.H. Lawrence
The fact that there is a general belief in a future life is no evidence of its truthClarence Darrow
There is another old poet whose name I do not now remember who said, Adversity is the first path to truthLord Byron
Adversity is the first path to truth; He who hath proved war, storm, or woman's rage, Whether his winters be eighteen or eighty, Has won the experience which is deemed so weightyLord Byron
Whatever sympathy I feel towards religions, whatever admiration for some of their adherents, whatever historical or biological necessity I see in them, whatever metaphorical truth, I cannot accept them as credible explanations of reality; and they are incredible to me in proportion to the degree that they require my belief in positive human attributes and intervenient powers in their divinities.John Fowles
[W]e all need friends with whom we can speak of our deepest concerns, and who do not fear to speak the truth in love to us.Margaret Guenther
It is one of the severest tests of friendship to tell your friend his faults. So to love a man that you cannot bear to see a stain upon him, and to speak painful truth through loving words, that is friendship.Henry Ward Beecher
The ideals which have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth ... The trite subjects of human efforts - possessions, outward success, luxury - have always seemed to me contemptible.Albert Einstein 1879
Speak the truth by all means; be bold and fearless in your rebuke of error, and in your keener rebuke of wrongdoing; but be human, and loving, and gentle, and brotherly, the while.W N Punshon
Love truth, and pardon error.Voltaire
It takes two to speak the truth one to speak, and another to hear.Henry David Thoreau
Have I done anything for society? I have then done more for myself. Let that question and truth be always present to thy mind, and work without cessation.William G. Simms
There are admirable potentialities in every human being. Believe in your strength and your truth. Learn to repeat endlessly to yourself. "It all depends on me."Andre Gide 1869
The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers M.Scott Peck
Sir, I say that justice is truth in action.Benjamin Disraeli
Men who content themselves with the semblance of truth, and a display of words, talk much of our obligations to Great Britain for protection. Had she a single eye to our advantage? A nation of shopkeepers are very seldom so disinterested.Samuel Adams
I long to hear that you have declared an independency. And by the way, in the the new Code of Laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make I desire you would Remember the Ladies, and be more generous and favourable to them than your ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the Husbands. Remember all Men would be tyrants if they could. If particular care and attention is not paid to the Ladies we are determined to foment a Rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any Laws in which we have no voice, or Representation. That your Sex are Naturally Tyrannical is a Truth so thoroughly established as to admit of no dispute, but such of you as wish to be happy willingly give up the harsh title of Master for the more tender and endearing one of Friend. Why, then, not put it out of the power of the vicious and the Lawless to use us with cruelty and indignity with impunity? Men of Sense in all Ages abhor those customs which treat us only as the vassals of your sex; regard us then as Beings placed by Providence under your protection, and in imitation of the Supreme Being make use of that power only for our happiness.Abigail Adams
A play is fiction and fiction is fact distilled into truth.Albee, Edward
Truth does not consist in minute accuracy of detail; but in conveying a right impression.Henry Alford

"With the fuel stabilizing, we have more consistency, as far as pricing with the fuel. But generally, it's in the low double-digit figures."
Michael Warren, president of Pompano Beach, Fla.-based Central American Produce, agreed the market improved toward the end of 2009.
"Currently, the outlook is a bit stronger than how it began," he said.
"The outlook is looking pretty good. Fruit is being bought up and moving at a decent rate. Prices were slightly lower than last year, but we figure it's good that consumers are getting fruit they can afford."
Growing conditions in Guatemala and Honduras had been acceptable, Warren said.
"Weather-wise, it's been excellent and we're getting the quality and yields from it," he said.
Things were a bit different a year earlier, Warren added.
"Last year, everything went well, but production was a bit off due to the weather," he said. "The major difference is better land preparation and better quality melons."
Optimism was high for the upcoming Mexican watermelon season, said Nick Rendon, division sales manager of the Rio Rico, Ariz., office of the Los Angeles-based Giumarra Cos.
"The outlook so far looks good," said Rendon, whose company brings in melons from Colima.
Rendon said he hoped the upcoming deal would be smoother than last year's.
"Prices in the beginning of the deal and winter were just outstanding, but as spring got here, it got pretty ugly," he said. "Prices were too high."
Ladera Ranch, Calif.-based Dulcinea Farms LLC also reported an up-and-down season a year ago.
"Probably the same as everyone — 2009 was certainly an interesting year," said John McGuigan, vice president of sales and marketing. "But, all in all, we had a very solid year at Dulcinea."
The economy probably had something to do with the rough ride, McGuigan said.
"I think what we found was — and it wasn't just at Dulcinea, but across the industry — one of the challenges a high-quality differentiated marketer faced was a lot of consumers were trading down from a mini PureHeart to a full-size seedless watermelon that a lot of retailers were selling aggressively," he said.
"But that wasn't the only area — we saw bagged salads lose to the head lettuce and specialty items lose to core items."
Allison Moore, spokeswoman for the Nogales-based Fresh Produce Association of the Americas, said a no-news-is-good-news scenario applies.
"I'm not hearing people saying the world is ending or it's the most terrific ever. I don't think people are really alarmed about anything, at this point," she said.

Formic acid to fight slippery road conditions
21-02-2012: Salts of formic acid, which are known as formates, are now being used successfully in the Nordic countries, Switzerland and Austria to remove slippery ice from roads, sidewalks and bikeways. Compared to conventional gritting materials, these liquid de-icing agents act more efficiently and in a more environmentally acceptable manner. They are particularly suitable for removing thin coats of ice and can also be used as a preventive measure when weather forecasts predict snowfall and icy conditions. Moreover, they support swift and continuous de-icing and allow ice and snow to be easily removed by mechanical means.
As road salt based on sodium chloride is corrosive and non-biodegradable, it may harm plants. Grit and sand are controversial because their effect is limited, and they may even add to respirable dust loads as they are spread and recovered. In contrast, the salts of formic acid are environmentally acceptable and totally biodegradable, eliminating the effort and cost of waste disposal. As they are so easy on the environment, spreading them on tree-lined roads or close to surface waters poses no problem. In addition, these de-icing agents are less corrosive, yet highly effective even when used very sparingly.
A number of municipal authorities in the Nordic countries, Switzerland and Austria are already using formates successfully to clear roads in the winter. Enterprises and private consumers who care a lot about the environment and are technically minded as well rely increasingly on the de-icing agent. German local authorities, too, have started to show some interest this winter.
"We helped our customers to develop new uses for formates based on their years of experience in de-icing airport runways," explained Sibylle Gruner, Formic Acid Marketing, BASF Intermediates division. BASF has been supplying this product to customers who specialize in the production of highly efficient de-icing agents for airport runways since the early nineteen-nineties.

The case is set for trial June 12, 2006. More than anything, Larson wants it known that his client got the rap while other supervisors got to retire, at full rank, oftentimes with pension and always without investigation.
A similar fate, however, apparently could have awaited Saucedo-Falls. Kunkle says, "If Dora had wanted to, she could have retired." --Paul Kix
Thanks, But No Thanks
Born in Kenya, June Arunga looks like a supermodel and sounds like a voice on the BBC: erudite, well-educated and thoughtful. Brought to Dallas last week by the World Affairs Council to premiere a documentary called The Devil's Footpath, Arunga is also a bit of a radical.
The film retraces Arunga's 5,000-mile journey from Cairo to Capetown through six African countries--Egypt, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Angola, Namibia and South Africa. And while rock stars like Bono and Bob Geldorf promote doubling aid to Africa, Arunga, now studying law in England, says, "No thanks, you've done enough."
The event was the first collaboration between the Dallas Museum of Art and the World Affairs Council, scheduled to coincide with World Refugee Day on June 20. Making the film was an odyssey for Arunga, who wanted to know why, despite the continent's riches, the best and brightest people in Africa were leaving--and to decide whether she would stay.
With a camera crew, the sunny Arunga interviews students longing for freedom from a repressive Egyptian government and villagers in war-torn Sudan, where simply surviving each day without being killed by government troops or rebels is the main concern. After visiting a squalid refugee camp in the DRC, Arunga dons a bulletproof vest for a visit with UN troops to a gold mine and finds a small child whose head is deeply scarred by attackers who hacked his parents to death. She's obviously deeply moved.
"It really is the devil's footpath," Arunga told her Dallas audience. Arunga described how she clashed with the Dutch director, an Irish cameraman and a British producer who had pitched the project to the BBC. Their approach was to ascribe most of Africa's ills to plunder by multinational corporations.
"It's a very popular view," Arunga says, "blaming Africa's problems on others."
At an audience question about sweatshops, Arunga smiled and said, "I only hear this term sweatshop in America and Europe." She described her grandmother sweating with a hoe every day for 60 years. "What I see [in Kenya] is people making long queues to get a job at the factories that open," Arunga says. "The only way those wages will rise is for more factories to open."
She described "the rock stars" pushing the doubling aid to Africa and debt-relief as misguided. Arunga disagrees with both proposals. "It undermines the efforts of people to hold their leaders accountable," Arunga says. "I think it's dehumanizing for us to sit in a corner and wait for other people who work to give us a slice of their cake."
The journey helped Arunga answer her own question. After she graduates from law school she plans to live in the West, at least for a while. "I hope to make lots of money before I go home." --Glenna Whitley

Swashbuckling India opener Virender Sehwag was singing songs of Kishore Kumar during the course of his record 149-ball 219-run knock against the West Indies in the fourth ODI in Indore, his team-mate Suresh Raina said. "He was playing very well with no tension. That day, he was singing some Kishore Kumar songs. He was not feeling any kind of tension," Raina, who cracked 55 in a 140 run-stand for the third wicket with Sehwag, said while addressing the 'India Today Youth Summit'. Asked whether he too joined him in singing, Raina said "No, I was only on 30 at that time. So, I did not." Sehwag's 219 had 25 boundaries and seven sixes as he smashed the West Indian bowlers all over the park to help India post a mammoth 418 for five in 50 overs. In the process, Sehwag overtook Sachin Tendulkar's 200 not out made against South Africa. Apart Raina, off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and BCCI's selection committee chairman Kris Srikkanth was also present at the Youth Summit. Srikkanth said he was confident about Indian team's good showing in the upcoming Australia tour. "We are very confident. We are doing well. Most importantly, every member of the team is contributing," Srikkanth said. Off-spinner Ashwin, the latest name to be related to the deadly 'carrom ball', said he actually "practised it since his "gully cricket days". "My friends and father wanted me to work on it and that's how it worked," the lanky spinner, who was declared man-of-the-series in the Test rubber against the West Indies for scoring a century and bagging over 20 wickets, said. Replying to a query whether he was focusing on batting these days, he said he was working on all aspects of the game.

Premier League team news: Everton v Aston Villa
Everton manager Roberto Martinez will be forced into a change up front for the visit of Aston Villa with Romelu Lukaku ruled out for several weeks and fellow on-loan striker Lacina Traore at least 10 days away from being fit.
Steven Naismith or Kevin Mirallas are the two likely options vying for the centre-forward role.
Defenders Seamus Coleman and Sylvain Distin and forward Gerard Deulofeu (all hamstring) will not be ready to return for another week.
Provisional squad: Howard, Stones, Jagielka, Alcaraz, Baines, Barry, McCarthy, Mirallas, Osman, Pienaar, Naismith, Robles, Hibbert, McGeady, Barkley, Garbutt, Gueye, Vellios.
Paul Lambert will assess striker Gabriel Agbonlahor's fitness ahead of Aston Villa's Barclays Premier League trip to Everton.
The England international missed Wednesday's local derby win over West Brom with an injury to the sole of his foot suffered against Liverpool recently, but may have a chance of returning at Goodison Park.
Lambert will run the rule over the rest of his squad on Friday following their intense battle with the Baggies in midweek.
Provisional squad: Guzan, Steer, Vlaar, Clark, Baker, Luna, Bertrand, Lowton, Bacuna, El Ahmadi, Albrighton, Westwood, Delph, Sylla, Holt, Gardner, Tonev, Helenius, Weimann, Agbonlahor, Benteke, Bowery.

Research Supporting
TAP's Elements Multiple Career Paths Ongoing Applied Professional Growth Instructionally Focused Accountability Performance-Based Compensation Bibliography TAP Outcomes Legislation Understanding Value-Added Teacher Quality Resources The Working Group on Teacher Quality
Multiple Career Paths@if>
Multiple career paths were developed based on a business model in which employees are able to move up the ranks based upon additional roles and responsibilities and be compensated for this work. Compensation is commensurate with these differentiated roles as well as with effectiveness and results. The multiple career paths element is an improvement of the traditional career ladder concept in education where teachers receive a minimal salary supplement for taking on additional roles such as mentoring a colleague. TAP addresses the weaknesses and the strengths of this earlier model and incorporates both education and management research findings into its system for career opportunity.
The research includes the following:
- Barrier (1996) finds a positive relationship between employee motivation and their ability to advance within their career. The consensus in this research is that employees who have opportunities for career advancement are motivated to improve the quality of their work.
- Educational research on career ladder programs suggests career advancement programs must contain both fiscal and work opportunity incentives to appeal to teachers. Career paths should focus on job expansion with opportunities such as long term professional growth, teacher involvement in school decisions, involvement of senior teachers in induction of new teachers and the development of relatively permanent promotions to encourage career planning by teachers (Murphy and Hart, 1986).
- Research indicates that a successful career path program must have the following characteristics (Hawley, 1985):
- The economic rewards for high performance must be significant;
- Teachers should continuously demonstrate high performance in order to retain their advanced level of status and pay;
- The standards by which teachers are measured should be clear;
- Assessment must be viewed by the teachers as being fair;
- Evaluation and feedback should be frequent;
- Differences in compensation should lead to differences in roles and responsibilities; and
- Teachers should be involved in the design and implementation of the plan.
- Work by Elmore (2000) on the concept of distributed leadership advocates that effective leadership is characterized by collective responsibility and sharing of knowledge and roles.
- Research on instructional leadership shows that building collective leadership through consensus of teachers rather than mandate is more effective (Darling-Hammond, Bullmaster & Cobb, 1995).
- A shared vision and shared responsibility for instructional leadership can lead teachers to support the larger organizational good, thus leading to improved curriculum and instruction (Leithwood, Tomlinson, & Genge, 1996; Silins, Mulford, Zarins, & Bishop, 2000).
Wayne Brazell, Former Laurens County School District 56 Superintendent, Laurens, South Carolina
"The bottom line is that quality teachers make a difference. Our state is in trouble with teacher recruitment, recruiting heavily from foreign nations. Because of TAP, we have been able to recruit powerful teachers to work in our district."
