Esquire began to travel with Huntsman through New Hampshire in May, when his chief strategist, John Weaver, called the 2012 Republican field "the weakest since 1940." (Photograph by Peter Yang for Esquire)
On Tuesday, Jon Huntsman the former governor of Utah and, more recently, the U.S. ambassador to China will officially enter the race for the Republican presidential nomination. But he has already begun to distinguish himself in a crowded field by becoming the first to call for a rapid withdrawal of U.S troops from Afghanistan.
"If you can't define a winning exit strategy for the American people, where we somehow come out ahead, then we're wasting our money, and we're wasting our strategic resources," Huntsman told Esquire as part of a long profile in its August issue. "It's a tribal state, and it always will be. Whether we like it or not, whenever we withdraw from Afghanistan, whether it's now or years from now, we'll have an incendiary situation... Should we stay and play traffic cop? I don't think that serves our strategic interests."
Huntsman also said that he wouldn't have intervened in Libya "We just can't afford it" and would seek to make serious cuts in the military's budget. "If you can't find anything there to cut, you're not looking hard enough."
In a week when The New York Times described Monday's GOP debate as "full of historical error, economic obfuscation, avoidance of hard truths and even outright bigotry," Huntsman despite being a former Obama appointee may have found his opening. The fifty-one-year-old father of seven told Esquire that he plans on running a campaign built in part on the parallel platforms of debt reduction and ending the war in Afghanistan.
Next week's announcement of his candidacy, expected to take place at Liberty State Park in New Jersey, is just a formality. Huntsman began his campaign more than six weeks ago, with a series of early-morning meetings less than eight hours after his resignation as ambassador took effect at midnight on April 30, and his campaign team, led by former John McCain strategist John Weaver, began its unofficial work long before that.
For Weaver and the rest of the team, Huntsman's intelligence and foreign-policy experience, combined with his strong record of fiscal conservatism and social semimoderation (he supports civil unions for gay couples and believes climate change is an urgent issue), made him the ideal candidate to shake up a Republican field that Weaver calls "the weakest since 1940."
"There's a simple reason our party is nowhere near being a national governing party," Weaver told Esquire. "No one wants to be around a bunch of cranks."
Weaver sees Mitt Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts and the presumed front-runner, as a man afraid to take a stand or, more accurately, as a man unafraid of taking every stand. "What version are we on now?" Weaver said. "Mitt 5.0? 6.0?"
And in former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty, another leading candidate, Weaver sees what he considers the worst tendencies of his party pandering to the GOP's hard-right margins at the risk of falling out of serious presidential contention.
"Tim's a nice guy," Weaver said, "and there's nothing worse than seeing a nice guy pretend that he's angry. Is that really what we want to be? Is that how we're going to define ourselves? When's the last time an angry man ever solved a problem without using a gun?"
Both Huntsman and Weaver think they have the best chance to take on the president next year. "The frustrating thing is that Obama's beatable," Weaver told Esquire. "But to beat Obama you have to be bigger than Obama. That's how we save our party."

WINDER -- Nothing dampens the holiday spirit like an empty stocking.
Knowing this, officials in Barrow County launched their annual "Empty Stocking Toy Drive" this weekend. The weeklong initiative channels toys to lesser privileged kids strictly within the county.
Expect firefighters and their famed canine mascot, Sparky, at a national retailer near you.
Lt. Scott Dakin, Barrow County Emergency Services spokesman, called the drive a vital service, especially in times of economic hardship. The goal this year is to help "several hundred" kids, he said.
"We're hoping all citizens will give generously," Dakin said.
The initiative kicked off Saturday. It continues next Saturday in the parking lot of the Winder Target and Staples from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Firefighters will be on hand to collect toy and monetary donations.
All toys must be new and unwrapped.
With the help of holiday shoppers, "We can make sure every child in Barrow County can wake up to presents under the tree," Dakin said.
Anyone wishing to drop toys off at any Barrow County fire station can do so until Dec. 13, when the collection period ends, Dakin said.

School Board Policy Debate II
At the last planning meeting I asked Jeanne if any families who did not choose a magnet school (Barnes or Wheeler) as their number #1 choice have had to send their kid there anyway. She said no. I asked if any families who have chosen Barnes or Wheeler as #1 for their kids, have had to send their children elsewhere, and she said yes.
Later, I asked Jeanne how many families from the old north end chose Barnes or Wheeler as their number one school, and were denied it because they did not possess the district's desired socio-economic status. She gave me an answer but I will never be able to recite it because it's too complicated. I am torn as to whether to post it as a block quote below. If I do, it is not because I'm trying to play gotcha with Jeanne, who- I have to tell you is doing a great job. The more I've watched her performance, the more grateful I've become that we have her. She has a crazy balancing act to perform in her role as superintendent, because ultimately she serves at the pleasure of the school board- or its majority anyhow. It isn't her fault she's been asked to implement socio-economic integration. That's what her bosses told her to do. And she does have a million things going on, other than this one debate. I get that.
So we've asked her to administer this SEI experiment, and apparently she's hired a 'magnet school coordinator' to do the nitty gritty of it. If I quote Jeanne below I think we should also give part of the credit for the quote to the magnet school corrdinator Victor Prussack, who almost certainly provided her some of the information
OK… my question again was-
"I am curious to know how many applications listing a magnet as number 1 resulted in the student going elsewhere because of SEI; and also in whether this has occurred for any applications listing any other schools as number 1, because of SEI (not capacity)."
Then, here's the (operative part of the) answer I received:
"There is no 100% clear data as it is a matter of application deadline. For example, at both magnets this year everyone from inside the magnet zone who applied by the deadline got in, regardless of SEI. At IAA we wait-listed 3 families from neighborhood school zones, who did not qualify for FRL and had at least 2 years of college and 1 from the magnet zone.Since the deadline, we have wait-listed one low income family without at least 2-years of college at SA and five at IAA.Of the applicants just listed, at IAA all but one of the families not qualifying for FRL were offered spots (one is still wait-listed). The spots opened up when others declined or withdrew their spots at IAA. At the lower end of the SEI spectrum, 1 student has moved off the wait-list, leaving us with four (and growing). At SA we are "saving" 5 spots right now for higher income folks, but have not yet wait-listed anyone for K."
Yeah. I didn't really understand that either. I breathed a heavy sigh and started writing back with all the new questions I had about this answer to my first question… at which point Jeanne, rightfully sent me to her magnet school coordinator for further questions, and turned her attention back to the numerous things on her plate requiring lawyers to deal with.
So the magnet school coordinator preferred to meet, rather than write and he asked if I could meet after the vote next week. I was like 'no, we have to talk this week' and so he called me from New York City, his hometown where he was spending Memorial Day weekend with his family. I talked to him Sunday morning.
The information he gave me was interesting. He said it was his job to break it to families when they can't get into Barnes or Wheeler because they are too poor. He said that happened to five families in the 1st year of SEI (It's been done 2 years) but none since, because… well, I can't recite what he told me. It's too complicated, but it sounded like the answer I quoted above. He did confirm that the district's known practice was that none of the kids from the other neighborhoods would be forced to go to Barnes or Wheeler, but the kids from the Barnes and Wheeler area might be forced to go elsewhere because they did not posess the desired demographic traits. He said it in a way which seemed to me to say- "yeah- that's what we're doing. where have you been?"
I'll stop right here to point out how this story reinforces my argument against eliminating our current school boundaries policy (see previous post). 1) If the system is too complicated to explain or understand, how can you trust that it's fair? and 2) If you are expressly treating people diferently based on their income or social class, then that obviously isn't fair.
For those five families who could not get into their neighborhood school, when that was their choice- the district was saying, your preferences do not carry the the weight of those with more money, or those from other parts of the city. Where is the equity in that? We don't necessarily know what's best for richer families, but we know what's best for poorer ones? Ah- I get it. We sell the idea to the rich, and force the idea on the poor. That's pretty much been the story since the beginning of time, hasn't it? Either we should sell it to everyone or force it on everyone. Enlightened modern public education is about the equality of all people, is it not? To Victor Prussack's credit, he said he was working hard to try to sell the idea of integrating north and south of the magnets to poorer old north end families, rather than just forcing it on them. But I don't think the forcing part should be an option at all. Do you?
That's why I find it so I ironic when I'm accused of protecting the interests of wealthier families by opposing the elimination of the school boundaries policy. I'm not agruing for the wealthy or the poor. I'm just trying to argue that elected representatives owe it to their constituents to infuse the public policies they create with the mechanisms of fairness. What passed out of the Curriculum Committee, and what seems likely to pass next week is… 'The superintendent can assign kids however she wants.' That is an abdication.
I still hope we can work out some compromise language that gives everyone an equal shot at their neighborhood school if they want it. Maybe if they enroll by a deadline, they will get guaranteed placement as long as there's room, and then after the deadline, the the superintendent follow her rubric with SEI in it. Something like that. The Chairman of the Board suggested the policy committee might take a look at it between the first and second readings- if the proposal passes. Then what happens will depend largely on commissioner Chasen, a co-sponsor of the proposal to eliminate the school boundaries, and a member of both the curriculum and policy committees.
By the way if you are planning to come to speak about this issue- It's Tuesday June 7 at the Edmunds Middle School Library- public comments start at 8pm. Come if you want, but I won't hold it against you if you don't. If I wasn't on the school board, I would not want to go to a school board meeting either.

School Board Policy Debate
The Burlington School Board will be faced with a choice at its June Meeting. Keep or modify our existing policy:
School Boundaries
Pupils shall be enrolled and attend the school located in the district in which they reside except as otherwise authorized in accordance herewith.
District boundaries shall be determined and may be revised by the Board of School Commissioners.
Individual requests for variance shall be acted upon by the Superintendent. Variances from one school to another will only be allowed when they directly benefit the education and/or welfare of the pupil. The Superintendent shall establish procedures to govern parental requests for variances to established District boundaries.
In the event that a neighborhood school has reached established class size limits, students may be assigned to another school at the discretion of the Superintendent. This assignment will remain in effect for the remainder of the school year. (See Policy EED – Student Transportation Services).
Or replace it with this:
Student Assignment
The Burlington School District is committed to providing excellent and equitable education for all students. The District believes that each student deserves the opportunity to learn from a comprehensive curriculum with a diverse population of peers that is similar to the demographics of the district as a whole.
The District shall provide both neighborhood and magnet school options. The administration shall formulate and implement staff and student assignment procedures that ensure excellence, equity and balanced demographics at every school in the District. The Superintendent shall report each April on procedures and outcomes regarding implementation of this policy.
I've been trying to convince the school board that the second choice would remove predictability from our neighborhoods and housing market by eliminating the default geographic student placement method. It would also take away the requirement that a variance for non-geographic placement be in the best interest of the particular pupil involved. I think removing those two elements of the policy would be a huge mistake. If we make this change, expectant parents cannot have any assurance of what school their baby will eventually attend. It will depend on whatever procedure the superintendent comes up with five years down the road. There will be no default placement, and since there's nothing in the new policy about the pupil's best interest- if you don't like where your kid gets sent- there's no basis in the the policy on which to argue your case.
The change proposal is a piece of unfinished business for commissioner Amy Werbel from Ward Five. She'll be resigning from the school board at the end of June to go to China on a Fulbright scholarship, and she wants to get this done before that. Amy was a driving force behind this resolution which turned Barnes and Wheeler into magnet schools and introduced the concept of "socio-economic integration" into the Burlington School District:
Motion re: Creation of Magnet Schools
Passed by School Board August 28, 2008
Motion (Flemer/Pillsbury) to direct the administration to form Vermont's first two magnet schools at the
Lawrence Barnes and H.O. Wheeler Buildings, with the goal to pilot these K-5 programs beginning in the
Fall of 2009.
The theme of the Barnes magnet school shall be Sustainability, and it will be named "Sustainability
Academy at Lawrence Barnes."
The theme of the Wheeler magnet school shall be Integrated Arts and it shall be named the "Integrated Arts
Academy at H.O. Wheeler."
The Board directs the administration to formulate and implement staff and student assignment policies that
ensure excellence, equity, and balanced demographics at every school in the District.
So the resolution passed telling the superintendent to "formulate and implement staff and student assignment policies that ensure excellence, equity, and balanced demographics at every school in the District." First of all, the superintendent may "formulate policies" but she cannot enact policies. The Board does that. The Board makes the rules, so the resolution was flawed in its wording to begin with. What she was really directed to do was come up with procedures. I have no idea about what staff assignment procedures she came up with to fulfill this, but here are the student assignment procedures that have been in effect in Burlington for the last couple of years…
Instructions for New Student Registration and Magnet School Registration
Welcome to the Burlington Schools! Families in all Burlington neighborhoods should rank their preferences for elementary schools on the New Student Registration Form. An additional magnet school application must be filled out if Integrated Arts Academy at H.O. Wheeler (IAA) or Sustainability Academy at Lawrence Barnes (SA) is one of your choices.
Enrollment in all schools is ultimately determined by school capacity. Within that we create priority lists for 1st choice schools based on:
1. Sibling
2. Socio-Economic Integration (for magnet schools)
3. Proximity
Registration is open from now to March 17, 2011. The week of May 2nd, families will be notified about placement. If there are more first choice registrations than there are spots, we will look at families' 2nd choices. When a student doesn't receive their first choice school, a district employee will contact the family to discuss their options for schools.*
Well, ok. So obviously there's a schism between the current policy and the current practice. I guess Amy wanted to address this back when Marrisa Caldwell was chair of the policy committee, but Marrisa fought the SEI idea and dissuaded Amy either from passing a policy change or from even trying to pass one, I'm not sure which. Amy decided to stick the policy change in her back pocket, and wait for the heat of the moment to pass. The heat, you may recall, included a rallying cry led by my neighbors Tom and Annie Treat: "No Bus For Us!" The 'No Bus' folks were arguing that socio-economic integration might lead to involuntary placement of students requiring them to travel to educations across town, in order to get the desired mix of rich and poor kids at each school.
Last year Amy revisited this at the policy committee when I was then a member and Alan Matson was the chair. I was able to convince the committe at that time to table the discussion. Amy warned us then that if she didn't get satisfaction on this from the policy committee, she's raise it in the Curriculum Committee which she chairs. This year I'm the chair of the Policy Committee, so I guess she figured she'd just go straight to plan B and put it on the Curriculum Committee agenda. She did and it passed out of the committee on a vote of 6-1 on Tuesday. Now the full board will be asked to vote on her proposal to replace the school boundaries policy at the next meeting:
•Tuesday, June 7, 2011 – Board Meeting – at the Edmunds Middle School Library- public comments start at 8pm
If you care about this issue, please show up and speak! And write or call a School Board Member!
Now I don't think that the idea of socio-economic integration of students in necessarily bad per se. The magnet school model seems to be working to some extent. Over 90% of Barnes and Wheeler's students were eligible for free and reduced lunch (ie poor) before the two schools became magnets. Through voluntary applications to these schools from outside their neighborhoods, those percentages have been lowered to something like 75 and 65 respectively, I think. Correct me if you have better numbers.
The point is, it's been voluntary. And that's fine. And it's all taken place with the old "school boundaries" policy still in effect. However were we to ever try achieving economic integration by force- by the conscription of non-voluntary placement- well that would be a problem. I believe Amy's policy change idea opens the door to exactly that, and that's why I am so opposed to it.
I believe I have found a way to reconcile the existing policy with the existing practice. The current system of ranking schools can constitute a request for a variance under the existing policy when parents rank a school outside their boundaries (eg a magnet school) as their first choice. The addition of a little text in the policy illustrates this. We should keep the language about the "welfare of the pupil." If parents agree their child's placement, they'd never have a reason to bring it up, but if they don't like the placement for their child, the "welfare of the pupil" language is a powerful tool and a basis for recourse. Here's what I propose to counter the Curriculum Committee's proposal. The existing policy with some old language stricken and some new language in bold as follows:
School Boundaries
Pupils shall be enrolled in and attend the school located in the district in which they reside except as otherwise authorized in accordance herewith.
District boundaries shall be determined and may be revised by the Board of School Commissioners.
Individual requests for variance shall be acted upon by the Superintendent. Variances A variance from one school to another will only be allowed when they it directly benefits the education and/or welfare of the pupil. The Superintendent shall establish procedures to govern parental requests for variances to established District boundaries. Such procedures may include a system wherein parents rank schools in order of preference- with the ranking of a school outside of one's district of residence #1, constituting a request for variance.
In the event that a neighborhood school has reached established class size limits, students may be assigned to another school at the discretion of the Superintendent. The Superintendent will consider the welfare of the pupil and may consider the demographic balance of the district when assigning him or her to a school. This assignment will remain in effect for the remainder of the school year. (See Policy EED – Student Transportation Services).
If all you wanted to do was reconcile the policy with the existing practice, then these changes should be perfectly sufficient. It reconciles the policy and the practice and maintains the stability and predictability of a geographic placement by default. Further, it maintains a basis in policy- the welfare of the pupil- upon which arguments against involuntary placements can be made. That's a good thing. It protects the rights of parents.
If you think the Board should vote for my proposal instead- or if you just have an opinion about what the school board is about to vote on, show up:

School Board Update V:05.11.11
Well we're into to my second year on the school board for real now. Last night we had a full board meeting and executive session. Tonight was the board retreat, which is basically another long school board meeting with another long executive session. I'm the chair of the policy committee this year, and I have to build an agenda for its first meeting by tomorrow. It all feels kind of back-to-workish.
Update Sunday May 15 7:45am: Board Docs Lite! So all current board agendas and some documents are up at our new public system.
1) Go to https://www.boarddocs.com/vt/bsdvt/Board.nsf/Public
2) View committee agendas by scrolling through the field on the left of your screen. Currently there are two agendas for May 17… The Curriculum Committee and the Policy and Advocacy (P&A) Committee meetings.
3) Click either one and then click "view the agenda" in the center of your screen. The agenda items for the meeting will be on the left. I notice Curriculum's agenda has some viewable documents, and P&A's doesn't. Amy Werbel is chair of Curriculum. I'm chair of P&A. I guess she was more on top of submitting board docs to board docs than I was this time. All well.

A City's Priorities
Aqueducts and roads are the essential elements of a city. There is no city without clean water and sanitation. There is no city unless goods and people can circulate. Therefore the top priorities are our water mains, water treatment facilities and our roads. The people who live along our aqueducts and roads desire the protection of safety and law. Therefore fire and police services are the next most important priority. With our basic needs met, and our safety ensured we turn to the higher mind. An excellent education for our children, and an excellent public library for all are the city's next most important priorities. Open and natural spaces are important for health and well being, so parks are the next priority.
The City of Burlington does a lot of other things of course. It provides electricity and telecommunications, buries the dead, runs an airport, promotes the arts and lots more- but if you asked me my top proirities for the city, the answer is: 1)Water 2) Roads 3)Fire 4)Police 5) Schools 6)Libraries 7)Parks.

It has been a busy week of mixed activity and results. I've done a good amount of writing and I'm very satisfied with it. I think you guys and gals will love what we have in store for you. I just wish we were moving even faster on all fronts.
I haven't been posting a lot because we've all been very busy with a number of projects and assignments. Excitement continues to run high. If I don't sound really up, it's because my focus is on finishing books and I'm a bit distracted.

Crews continue removing oil from leaking barge
Updated On: Feb 01 2013 11:45:39 AM CST
The U.S. Coast Guard said operations continue to remove oil from a leaking barge near Vicksburg on the Mississippi River.
Coast Guard Petty Officer 3rd Class Jonathan Lally said early Friday that vessel traffic on the river remains restricted through the area.
Crews are still trying to pump all the oil from the damaged barge onto another vessel, a process known as lightering.
A 16-mile stretch of the river was closed Sunday after two oil barges hit a railroad bridge and one of them started leaking light crude.
Coast Guard officials said Friday that since the spill, about 9,000 gallons of oily water has been removed from the river.
The Coast Guard is now allowing restricted traffic.
Southbound commercial traffic was being allowed to pass through the area during daylight hours and northbound commercial traffic will be permitted to move at night.
The cleanup will continue through the weekend, the Coast Guard said.

Salmonella is a foodborne pathogen. Symptoms of illness include abdominal cramps, diarrhea and fever and typically last between three and five days. Contact a physician if symptoms arise.
Egg Recall
September 28, 2010
On August 13, 2010, a voluntary recall was issued of eggs shipped since May 19, 2010. The eggs were produced by Wright County Egg, in Galt, Iowa. Eggs were shipped to 22 states and to Mexico. On August 19th, 2010, Hillendale Farms also of Iowa, issued an additional recall of eggs distributed to wholesalers and retailers in 14 states.
Consumption of the recalled eggs may lead to salmonella, a food-borne illness. Symptoms include fever, diarrhea and abdominal cramps that begin 12 to 72 hours after consumption of the recalled eggs. The illness may last up to a week. Those with compromised immune systems such as babies or the elderly may experience a severe reaction to salmonella. Contact a health professional if symptoms arise. The Centers for Disease Control has a detailed report on the salmonella outbreak.
A complete list of recalled brands can be found here. Any eggs that are involved in the recall should be discarded immediately. This includes any products that may have been cooked or baked with the recalled eggs.
For more information, visit the FDA website.

Alfalfa Sprouts Recall
May 25, 2010
This recall affects raw alfalfa sprouts. Caldwell Fresh Foods issued a voluntary recall of all its alfalfa sprouts under the name Caldwell Fresh Foods, Nature's Choice and California Exotics brands. The sprouts have been linked to an outbreak of Salmonella Newport infections across the United States.

For more information visit the FDA website.
Dangers of Microwaving Water
May 17, 2010
An email chain has been circulating recently regarding the dangers of microwaving water. The FDA confirms this danger and refers to it as "erupted hot water phenomena." Reports include serious burns to hands and face stemming from over-heated water in a microwave oven.
Heating water past its boiling point is dangerous because the water does not appear to be boiling. Any disruption to this super-heated water, such as moving the cup or adding to the water may cause an explosion of water. Typically, this takes place if water is warmed in a clean cup.
You can avoid the problem by limiting the heating time of water or liquids in the microwave. The FDA recommends determining the necessary amount of time to heat water to a desired temperature and using the same time period consistently. In addition, always use a microwave safe cup.
The FDA has extensive information regarding this phenomenon.
For more information:
Lettuce Recall
May 7, 2010
Freshway Foods announced a voluntary recall of certain bagged romaine lettuce products because of a connection between the lettuce and foodborne disease. The outbreak involves E. coli O145, a harmful bacteria and has been reported in Michigan, Ohio and New York. The recalled lettuce has a "best if used by" date of May 12 or earlier. Anyone possessing a bagged lettuce from Freshway Foods with the above "best by" date to throw them out or refrain from usage.
The shredded lettuce was sold to food service outlets, wholesalers, in-store salad bars and delis in several states including Alabama, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Sourth Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
Symptoms of E. coli infection range from mild diarrhea to severe health complications. The Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control urge anyone with symptoms to contact a health care provider immediately.

National Children's Dental Health Month
February 4, 2010
February is National Children's Dental Health Month. According to the NIDCR (National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, a branch of the National Institutes of Health), "dental caries (tooth decay) remains the most prevalent chronic disease in both children and adults, even though it is largely preventable."
National statistics compiled through the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 1999 through 2004 showed some improvement in the oral health of the American population. However, young children were found to have more tooth decay than in previous studies. The NHANES showed that 42% of children 2 to 11 have had dental caries in their primary (baby) teeth, and 23% of children 2 to 11 have untreated dental caries. Tooth decay can start as soon as teeth appear in a baby's mouth.
National Children's Dental Health Month is a campaign to promote good tooth and gum care among children, including brushing, flossing, and regular visits to the dentist. For more information on this campaign and on proper dental care for children, visit:
- The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research website: http://www.nidcr.nih.gov/EducationalResources/
- The American Dental Association's National Children's Dental Health Month website: http://www.ada.org/prof/events/featured/ncdhm.asp
Haiti: Help and Communication Resources
January 22, 2010
The earthquake in Haiti has created catastrophic living conditions for the local population. Many Americans have relatives or friends in Haiti and are worried for their lives; even those of us without acquaintances in Haiti may be wondering what we can do to help.
The most important first step in trying to help Haiti is to use safe and reliable aid agencies. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (www.cdc.gov) has created web pages with links to recommended donation groups. Two of the aid agency links are:
- The Clinton Bush Haiti Fund: ClintonBushHaitiFund.org
- www.usaid.gov/helphaiti: this site has information on volunteering for Haiti as well as donating money and goods
You can also donate to the American Red Cross at: www.redcross.org
The CDC website also contains several links to the U.S. State Department to help locate U.S. citizens, family members, or friends in Haiti. Follow the 'Help for Haiti: Learn What You Can Do' icon after clicking on the CDC's 'Earthquake in Haiti' link.
Concerns Raised Over School Lunch Food Safety
January 5, 2010
Last month USA Today produced a series of investigative reports about the safety of the food served in school lunch programs. The reporters were particularly concerned about the quality of the meat (including beef and poultry) shipped to schools. Some of the issues raised by the reporters include:
- Beef Packers, Inc., a major beef supplier to the school lunch program, was involved in a salmonella meat contamination recall in the Summer of 2009, but did not recall the beef produced for schools during that time period.
- Beef sent to the school lunch program undergoes less frequent testing for contamination than beef used in fast-food restaurants.
- Beef bought for the school lunch program can legally contain 10 times the concentration of E. coli bacterium (the organism considered an indicator of whether potential contaminants from the intestines of cattle have gotten into slaughtered meat) which is acceptable to fast-food chains like Jack in the Box®.
- Poultry bought for the school lunch program can include "spent hens", birds that are past their egg-laying prime and are not accepted by companies such as Kentucky Fried Chicken® or the Campbell Soup Company®.
Many schools receive beef and poultry directly through the U.S Department of Agriculture's commodities program, and therefore rely on the government to set appropriate food safety standards and provide them with safe meat products. The government will be revising the school lunch program in 2010, and the USA Today articles have challenged the USDA and FDA (Food and Drug Administration) to strengthen their regulation of food providers for the nation's public schools.
Find the USA Today articles at: http://www.usatoday.com/news/education/2009-12-08-school-lunch-standards_N.htm and http://www.usatoday.com/news/education/2009-12-01-beef-recall-lunches_N.htm.

Yesterday I left my job at Build-a-Bear Workshop which I'm sad about but I needed to move onto something different. So today was my first shift at Nationwide!!
I've worked within retail for 6 years so working in an office is very much out of my comfort zone. It's great so far, just on the learning bits and bobs. Best parts are I get to wear my own clothes rather than some awful uniform and there's a free drink dispenser to aid my tea drinking!
Today I wore Primark....
Everything aside from the bag which is from Accessorise is from Primark. It's nearing to payday and I wanted new smart clothes so Primark is the one and only in my situation and it did good! :)

In 2005, Toei's latest entry in its Kamen Rider series, Kamen Rider Hibiki, fell victim to the conflicting desires of executives and storytellers.Also in 2005, Toei decided to reintroduce the very first Rider to modern audiences. Thus, was born Kamen Rider The First, a theatrical remake of the first series.As per the series, motorcyclist and college student Takeshi Hongo is nabbed by agents of the evil Shocker organization. Without Prof. Midorikawa to save him this time, Hongo is inducted into Shocker's ranks as a Super Soldier called "Hopper." He is instructed to kill all witnesses to Shocker's activities; however, after an encounter with a young woman and her fianc�, Hongo begins to resist his mental reconditioning. He is then double-crossed by Shocker and eventually leaves the organization; but then, he meets the fianc�, now named Hayato Ichimonji, AKA "Hopper 2"...Followed by Kamen Rider The Next in 2007.

How to Effectively Map SQL Data to a NoSQL Store
Sytze Harkema explains how to save and retrieve relational SQL data into a NoSQL key-value store as implemented by FoundationDB, an open source, scalable, fault tolerant and ACID database.
Data Modeling with Key Value NoSQL Data Stores – Interview with Casey Rosenthal
In Key Value data stores, data is represented as a collection of key–value pairs. The key–value model is one of the simplest non-trivial data models, and richer data models are implemented on top of it. InfoQ spoke with Casey Rosenthal from Basho team about the data modeling concepts and best practices when using these NoSQL databases for data management.
Jepsen: Testing the Partition Tolerance of PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB and Riak
Distributed systems are characterized by exchanging state over high-latency or unreliable links. The system must be robust to both node and network failure if it is to operate reliably--however, not all systems satisfy the safety invariants we'd like. In this article, we'll explore some of the design considerations of distributed databases, and how they respond to network partitions.

In a 2010 nationwide poll about 3 percent of kids ages 8 to 18 said they're vegetarians. Here's how to ensure your child gets balanced nutrition and variety in a meat-free diet

You love a big, juicy burger once in a while but now your child has sworn off your famous meatloaf forever. You might be worried your child will miss out on necessary nutrients by avoiding meat, but that doesn't have to be the case. "It's a healthy lifestyle for any age if it's well-balanced and appropriately planned," says Vandana R. Sheth, R.D., a registered dietitian and spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association. "You do have to learn how to replace what's being dropped from the diet," says Sheth. "Research indicates a vegetarian diet is associated with a lower risk of heart disease, lower cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure and lower rates of diabetes than non-vegetarians."

Stocks take a pause: To be expected after last week's rally. Dow is down about 30 points.
Latinos scoring jobs: They're the only demographic group whose employment numbers have returned to pre-recession levels, though the jobless rate of 10.5 percent remains higher than the 8.3 percent national rate. From the LAT:
The construction industry remains weak, but other sectors in which Latinos have a relatively large share of jobs -- hotels, food services, healthcare and manufacturing, for example -- are seeing more robust job growth. Mining support services, where Latinos make up about a fifth of the workers, are expanding employment significantly. And, because Latinos account for a relatively small share of workers in the public sector, they aren't bearing the brunt of deep cuts in government jobs.
California reenters mortgage talks: Attorney General Kamala Harris is back negotiating with the major banks on a settlement. From the NYT:
The potential support from California and New York comes in exchange for tightening provisions of the settlement to preserve the right to investigate past misdeeds by banks, and stepping up oversight to ensure that the financial institutions live up to the deal and distribute the money to the hardest-hit homeowners. The settlement would require banks to provide billions of dollars in aid to homeowners who have lost their homes to foreclosure or who are still at risk, after years of failed attempts by the White House and other government officials to alter the behavior of the biggest banks.
Super Bowl ratings down a notch: The big game posted a 47.8 overnight rating/71 share, down a tenth from last year's game on Fox. It was the third-highest Super Bowl rating ever. (deadline)
Encouraging turn on bullet train: The high-speed rail idea is being recalibrated by state officials, and LAT columnist George Skelton likes what he sees.
Construction still would start next fall in the rural San Joaquin Valley, the thinking goes. But simultaneously there'd be major upgrades to conventional lines in the Los Angeles and San Francisco regions. Those upgrades would amount to initial blending of the Southern California Metrolink and Bay Area Caltrain systems into the ultimate 500-mile high-speed rail line from Los Angeles to San Francisco.
Caruso on running for mayor: The billionaire developer tells Daily News reporter Rick Orlov that for now he's focusing on a bid for the Dodgers. "After that decision is made, Caruso said, "I will make a decision on mayor."
Seattle eyes Sacramento Kings: City officials are working with an SF-based hedge fund manager to bring the team to Seattle - as well as build a new arena, the Seattle Times is reporting. The Maloof family, which owns the team, has repeatedly said it has no interest in selling.
Southwest to carry sports: Well, sort of. The airline will soon offer baseball and pro football for passengers traveling with Wi-Fi-enabled laptops or other portable devices. (LAT)

David Edelstein's Worst Movies of 2013
The Lone Ranger, obviously. And more.
Skip to content, or skip to search.
The Lone Ranger, obviously. And more.
Summer is dead. Long live summer movies!
With some help from Oprah.
Expect even fewer original films after would-be blockbusters like White House Down, After Earth, and Elysium underperformed.
Did Jodie Foster's evil scheme really make sense? Or Kruger's?
Neill Blomkamp's District 9 followup earned $30.5 million.
Neill Blomkamp's action movie hits its marks, but slides into dumb melodrama.
The futurist/industrial designer has worked on some of modern sci-fi's most memorable films.
He's watched so many Sherlocks.
He loves Michael Bay, turned down Star Wars, and approached Die Antwoord's Ninja and Eminem to star in Elysium.
So he's off to the magical place in the sky.
Kicking off Vulture's Summer Movie Preview week in our annual crass but helpful way!
It's Neill Blomkamp's District 9 follow-up.
Vulture's seen ten minutes of the ambitious summer sci-fi movie.
Bald Matt Damon will have to wait.
He told us last night at a party for Argo.
How did these huge tentpoles fare?
"I've seen every single episode, and I will rewatch every episode before the new season."
From Twilight to Man of Steel.
Matty's got a gun.
He'll star in Neill Blomkamp's 'Elysium.'
Neill Blomkamp is making a new sci-fi film with his apparent muse, Sharlto Copley.

Title: Neural transplantation
using pluripotent neuroepithelial cells
United States Patent: 7,048,921
Issued: May 23, 2006
Inventors: Sinden; John
(London, GB); Gray; Jeffrey A. (London, GB); Hodges; Helen (London, GB);
Kershaw; Timothy (London, GB); Rashid-Doubell; Fiza (Oxford, GB)
Assignee: ReNeuron Limited
Appl. No.: 760274
Filed: January 12, 2001
Outsourcing Guide
The subject invention pertains to a novel
method of correction of behavioral and/or psychological deficits made
possible by the intracerebral transplantation of pluripotent
neuroepithelial cells. Cells, cell lines, pharmaceutical preparations,
medicaments, methods for the production and maintenance of the cell lines
for use in the method of the invention are encompassed by the invention.
Description of the Invention
The present application relates to the
correction of behavioural and/or psychological deficits by the
intracerebral transplantation of neural cells, and to cells and
medicaments therefor. The invention also concerns methods for the
production and maintenance of the cell lines.
Behavioural and/or psychological deficits are caused by many diseases and
may also be caused when the brain undergoes trauma. For example, motor
dysfunction is one symptom of Parkinson's disease. As yet, in most cases,
there is no satisfactory treatment available.
The present invention provides for a method of treatment of a behavioural
and/or psychological deficit which comprises intracerebral transplantation
of a therapeutically effective amount of pluripotent neuroepithelial
The present invention is based in part on the observation that, when
transplanted into a damaged or diseased brain, pluripotent neuroepithelial
cells appear to respond to signals from the damaged or diseased brain by
taking up a phenotype that is able to replace or compensate for functional
deficits to which the damage or disease otherwise leads.
The term "pluripotent" is used herein to denote a an undifferentiated
neuroepithelial cell that has the potential to differentiate into
different types or different phenotypes of cell, in particular into cells
having the appropriate phenotype for the intended use. The cell type or
phenotype into which such a pluripotent cell finally differentiates is at
least partly dependent on the conditions in which the cell exists or finds
For use in the present invention the neuroepithelial cells should be
capable of differentiating into cells appropriate to repair or compensate
for damage or disease in the target area of the brain. It will be
appreciated that cells for transplantation need not be capable of
differentiation into all types or phenotypes of neural cells. The cells
may, for example, be bipotent. However, a high degree of potency is
generally preferred as this gives greater flexibility and potential for
transplantation into different areas of the brain.
Suitable pluripotent cells include those called or known as "stem cells"
and those called or known as "precursor cells".
The pluripotent neuroepithelial cells are advantageously, and will
generally be, conditionally immortal.
The treatment may be carried out on any mammal but the present invention
is especially concerned with the treatment of humans, especially treatment
with human cells, and with human cells and cell lines.
The present invention provides a mammal which has undergone treatment
according to the present invention.
The present invention provides isolated human, pluripotent neuroepithelial
The present invention especially provides human, conditionally immortal
pluripotent neuroepithelial cells.
The present invention further provides a conditionally immortal,
pluripotent, neuroepithelial cell line, especially for therapeutic use,
more especially for the treatment of a behavioural and/or psychological
The cells of the present invention are capable of correcting a behavioural
or psychological deficit when implanted into a damaged part of the human
brain. The term "damage" used herein includes reduction or loss of
function. Damage may be caused by any of a variety of means including
physical trauma, hypoxia (lack of oxygen), chemical agents, for example,
damage may be caused by drug abuse, and disease. The following diseases
and pathological conditions are examples of diseases or conditions which
result in behavioural and/or psychological deficits which may be treated
in accordance with the present invention: traumatic brain injury, stroke,
perinatal ischaemia, including cerebral palsy, Alzheimer's, Pick's and
related dementing neurodegenerative diseases, multi-infarct dementia,
Parkinson's and Parkinson's type diseases, Huntington's disease,
Korsakoff's disease and Creuzfeld-Jacob disease. Amnesia, particularly
following transitory global ischaemia such as after cardiac arrest or
coronary bypass surgery, may also be treated in accordance with the
present invention.
The present invention further provides a process for the production of
human, conditionally immortal, pluripotent, neuroepithelial cells which
comprises the steps of:
Claim 1 of 17 Claims
1. A method for treating brain
damage in a mammal, said method comprising intracerebrally transplanting
pluripotent, nestin-positive, neuroepithelial cells into the damaged part of
the brain of said mammal, wherein said cells have been genetically modified
to be conditionally immortal, wherein said cells are immortal prior to said
transplanting and differentiate after said transplanting, and wherein said
transplanting improves brain function of said mammal.
