I am mexican, and we all knew this lady was a shame for our country and our education. I have not found any www note against her detention, so...we could say, most of the mexicans are happy with her detention? yes it might be, i do.
Anyone can argue about Peña's strong hand, and if this was prepared before, yes, it might, we all know PRI party use this strategy (send someone powerful to the jail) to strengthen their rule, and this time seems we all are ok with the decision.
We are waiting for this action against Romero Deschamps, union leader for oil company, and Napoleon (forgot his last name) mining union leader.
The two ideas that jobs are inherited or bought is ridiculous. It indicates who runs the education sector. She needs to go and the unions need to start wondering whether they got into teaching to educate the future generations or simply as an easy buck. Its all pretty shameful that its gone on this long.
"She needs to go"
You DO know she´s in jail, right?
About Gordillo herlself you can add or get rid of her and the general state on education will not change much, She does deserve to be jailed definitely, but If the gov. really does want to help School and education is by way of a real substantial reform that involves responsible use of school resources by both the SNTE and Secretary, clear and fair methods of election and promotion
of teachers, some of this is already done but not in all areas or states, close control on progress of students especially those at middle to superior school, close work with the parents, the relation with the students is as important as those with the parents, etc. Now most SNTE teachers dont have that much vote inside SNTE, the top bureaucrats of the SNTE are more related with Gordillo that is true, but she herlself is just a part that isn´t even esential. So alright Gov. you got her, that´s good and fair, but there´s a lot more work to be done on education.
We wants to know "What la Maestra has to say about it" She is gonna fight back??She knows a lot about the PRI, She will keep her mouth shut??
Much of her power ,got it from the PRI!!!
Come on people, don't be naive. Yes she deserves a long time in jail, but this move is purely political. The Mexican government does not want to nor will change the Union because it serves as a great political tool. Most of SNTEs top leadership are friends and family of Gordillo, they are a bunch of self serving puppets that PRI political party wants to use.
Gordillo is too volatile and has flip flopped many times. The politcal elite does not like that and that's why they removed her political protection and eventually removed her. She was put in by the PRI and now that she is not of use they are getting rid of her.
Don't be fooled, this Mexican president is not looking to reform the union for the benefit of teachers and students.
You seem to be misinformed. The education reform has already been passed, therefore the union is already affected.
""La Maestra" has not yet commented though her union colleagues have come out in her defence, saying they "believe in" her."
"In October she was elected unopposed for another six-year term."
Yes, she gives leaders extravagant gifts (including Hummers). All of those "elections" have been riddled with corruption and irregularities. Please do a real journalistic investigation about it.
"Having been a boss of Mr Peña Nieto's Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI)"
What does this mean? She had aspirations to be PRI's president but lost.
"Convicting Ms Gordillo may prove harder. Mexico is now a democracy, unlike under Mr Salinas: judges are more independent; those who are not are biddable by actors besides the president."
I disagree. They can convict her in jail even without evidence if they want, come on it's Mexico. But there is plenty of evidence to do it.
"the arrest sends a message that the government is serious about some reforms, at least"
If he was serious about it he would had dismantled the mafia that Gordillo created (family and friends) in the SNTE and Mexican politics. This is a purely political move with no substance.
You sound like your saying democracy's a bad thing because it fosters corruption and allows clearly guilty people to get away on technicalities,
**though if your right and fair courts really do foster corruption, than having a justice system is a major problem that should be eliminated"* *irony*
Yet more evidence of how bad unions are, no matter what organization, industry, country, or culture.
Let us hope that the president can tear this one apart, for the good of his nation's future.
The SNTE under Gordillo has always been a government tool. The moment she decided to go on her own the timer started. In addition, the SNTE is also fractured and not all states cooperated with her. Those "rogue" states are the ones that got free textbooks for their states, kept preschool free and constantly fight to keep education public.
The SNTE leadership are all self serving puppets that should be removed, but the union itself has done great things for their students.
Perhaps if you educated yourself about the details of this case you would make better comments.
I will just add, in all states books and education have continually being free, not doing so is considered unconstitutional for all public shools.
Now about Gordillo herlself, yes, you can add or get rid of her and the general state on education will not change much, She does deserve to be jailed definitely, but If the gov. really does want to help School is by way of a real substantial reform that involves responsible use of school resources, clear and fair methods of election of teachers, close control on progress of students especially those at middle to superior school, close work with the parents, the relation with the students is as important as those with the parents, etc.
This is the start of something big in a positive direction.
I sincerely hope Mexico will implement a version of Lowell High School
Mexico may lack the natural resources Brazil possesses. However,
Mexico can outdo Brazil in the most valuable natural resource
there is. Highly skilled people! Global Mexican brands, prestige, know how
are attainable if Mexico continue making the right reforms.
Viva Mexico!
I agree. If the new president sticks to this line, he will win the respect of Mexicans and foreigners alike.
We pretend to work, You pretend to pay us.
And We we are teachers remain 'tenured' until the grave.
The children will learn on their own: the internet, You Tube instructional videos, wikipedia 'research' --or whatever.
The work gets done. Its like autopilot!
Maestro siesta tiempo....Todos son buenos.
this must be the tip of a rather large iceberg. an audit of all unions across the globe including Kenyan ones might just serve to show how deep the rot runs. therefore what ever the reason or motivation for the Mexican government, this move could not have come at a better time. it should be noted that most trade unionists tend to over stay their welcome and turn into something close to life long leaders not checked by term limits as is the norm now for those holding sensitive positions be they political,security or civilian in nature.
Really? So why did they left the entire Gordillo mafia untouched? they did the move to get rid of a powerful opposition. They want to keep the Union structure untouched because it is a great political tool. It is not hard to use common sense.

Want to know more about starting Awana at your church? Here is the info you need!
What is Awana?
Awana is an international, Bible-centered children's and youth ministry providing local churches with weekly clubs, programs and training for students in preschool through high school. Our goal is to equip churches to reach kids, and their families, with the gospel of Christ and train them to serve Him. (Learn about the prayer, vision, mission and values of Awana.) The acronym Awana comes from the first letters of Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed as taken from 2 Timothy 2:15.
Awana began in 1950 as a youth program at the North Side Gospel Center in Chicago, Illinois. Lance Latham, the church pastor, worked with Art Rorheim to develop a program that would appeal to young people, reach them with the gospel and train them in the Lord's work. Other churches heard about the success of the Awana program and asked if they could use it. By 1960, Awana had registered 900 churches to start Awana.
Today, more than 12,000 U.S. churches run Awana. There are clubs in all 50 states. Awana can also be found in over 3,300 churches in 109 other countries and six continents. Jack Eggar is our President/CEO. Art Rorheim serves as our co-founder.
Regional missionaries and ministry teams will assist you in establishing Awana as a vital part of your local church's outreach, discipleship and volunteer training. Find your area missionary and contact him today, or learn more about what we believe as a Bible-teaching ministry. If you're interested in working for Awana, check out our current job openings. If you're looking for an Awana program in your area, use our club finder to locate local churches with Awana.
As missionaries we are continually looking for new ways to serve our churches and clubs. Here are some resources available now from Awana:

Q: Where do we grit?
These include principal roads, classified roads, important access roads and some (not all) bus routes. Our routes are designed to cover critical infrastructure such as the hospitals, fire and police stations, major food distribution centres, the power station, prison, city centre car parks and both the railway and bus station.
Pedestrianised areas and footways around the city centre will also be treated under certain weather conditions as are most subways and footbridges across the city.
In prolonged periods of snow and ice other roads and footways may be treated once the priority gritting routes are clear and the contractor's resources are available.
Back to the top
Q: How can I find out exactly which roads are gritted?
The precautionary road gritting routes can be found and viewed on Peterborough City Council's website.
Q: How long does it take to grit the precautionary network?
The 'Priority' network that includes Peterborough's Parkway system must be completed within 2 hours of the instructed time of commencement by the Winter Service Duty Officer. Other lower priority routes are normally completed within 3 hours of the commencement time.
Q: Why do I rarely see a gritter on Peterborough's roads?
Gritting usually takes place late at night or very early in the morning and is timed to ensure the whole network is treated before road surface temperatures fall below zero. As a rule the latest we can begin treatments of the precautionary network to ensure full coverage before rush hour is 04.00Hrs – this would mean drivers would have been in the depot preparing their vehicle and loading from 03.00Hrs.
Q: Why aren't all roads gritted?
We can't grit Peterborough's entire 948km road network because of the time it would take and the cost involved. Our five gritting routes cover 438km or 46% of the total road network. This coverage is proportionately higher than most of our neighbouring authorities.
Q: Who grits the trunk roads in and around the city?
Trunk roads are not the responsibility of the City Council. These roads are:
They are treated by other contractors working for the Highways Agency.
Q: How can I find out when the network will be treated?
Peterborough Highway Services will be posting its winter service treatments on Twitter as and when the decisions are made by the Winter Service Duty Officer.
Q: Who makes the decision to grit the roads and how?
Throughout the winter season, between the 1 October and 30 April, Peterborough Highway Services operates a winter service duty rota that provides 24/7 cover to monitor weather conditions and make appropriate decisions.
Officers are trained to interpret information provided by a specialist winter weather forecasting bureau that provides data throughout the winter season. The forecast, received on a daily basis, gives predictions of the possibility of freezing road temperatures, snow etc, and the time those conditions may occur. Other live data is received from weather stations in the Peterborough area including air and road temperatures, rainfall and road moisture, cloud cover and wind direction all of which is monitored 24 hours a day during the winter maintenance season.
Q: When do we treat the roads?
Treatments are considered by the Winter Service Duty Officer when road surface temperatures (RST's) are forecast to fall below 1 ºC however the final decision as to the amount of salt spread by our gritters and treatment timing is dependant upon the specific forecast weather conditions, road surface conditions and other factors. For example more salt is spread when the forecast RST is minus six (-6 ºC) than it is at minus one (-1 ºC).
Q: How do we grit the roads?
We use 6mm crushed rock salt to melt ice or prevent it from forming on the roads during winter and this is spread onto the road using five purpose-built gritters. The spreaders at the rear of the gritters are designed to give an even distribution of salt across the road and spread the salt at a controlled rate. The gritting vehicles also have fittings which enable a snowplough to be fitted when needed.
Salt must be spread onto the road surface before the road becomes icy or snow starts to fall and this is known as precautionary salting. We aim for the gritters to set off at least 3 hours before sub zero temperatures or snowy weather is forecast to arrive.
Every effort is made to avoid the need to treat the network during peak traffic periods as the gritters can become delayed in traffic and can get stuck along with the cars, buses and lorries they are trying to help. In these cases treatments can be brought forward or deferred as appropriate to the details of the forecast.
Q: Where do we get salt from?
Peterborough City Council uses salt from Cleveland Potash Ltd in North Yorkshire. The salt is applied to the road using a pre-wet system that involves the addition of brine to the dry salt at the point of spreading. The advantages of this system is that the salt goes into solution more quickly and hence becomes effective quicker than dry salt. The addition of brine also reduces salt 'bounce' and minimises the amount of salt removed from the road by the draught of the spreading vehicle, road traffic or strong cross winds. In addition to the economic benefits associated with pre-wet treatments it is better for the environment too using less salt and ensuring salt stays on the surface it is spread onto.
Q: Can I ask for a road to be added to the precautionary gritting network?
The schedule of treated roads has been developed over a number of years and is reviewed annually. Whilst it is unlikely that any additional roads will be added to our schedules if you feel that you have an exceptional case then you should contact your Ward or Parish Councillor.
Any requests for additional roads will be considered during the end of season review: No routes can be added to the schedule during the current winter season.
Q: What happens when snow is on its way?
When snow is forecast salt is spread on the roads to slow the rate of snow settling however much more salt is needed than when spreading salt to prevent ice forming. Salt alone has very little effect on snow once snow has started to build up on the roads and there is little anyone can do until it becomes deep enough to plough (about 25mm or 1 inch). The actions of ploughing, spreading salt and vehicles running on the snow will all help to clear the roads.
Q: My road is very icy - can you send someone immediately to salt it?
We will record and consider your request, although it will be subject to route priority, prevailing conditions and available resources.
Q: How can road users help?
There is clearly a responsibility on every one of us to drive with care, especially during winter weather. You may be travelling on a road that is not part of a main gritting route or you may be on a road before it has been treated. If this is the case, slow down.
Salt spreading does not make roads completely safe; a common misconception is that rock salt will immediately disperse ice and snow and that the roads are then safe to use normally. This is not the case and considerable traffic flows are needed to work the salt into the road surface for it to be totally effective. This takes time to achieve.
The Met Office issues regular forecasts and each night on TV and radio, warnings may be given of likely adverse road conditions - Pay attention to any warnings and set your alarm earlier to allow more time for your journey. If the weather is forecast to be really severe think about whether your journey is really necessary.
Watch out for tell tale signs, like frost on the car and icy puddles they mean that the roads may be slippery. Watch out for shady places or areas beneath overhanging trees as sudden changes in surface condition can easily occur.
Wait for your windscreen to clear before driving off an icy screen is no better than driving in thick fog! Accelerate and brake more gently when in wet or icy conditions and brake before reaching a bend, not on it.
Q: How does salt work?
Salt is used to prevent ice forming; it does this by reducing the freezing point of moisture already on the road surface. The efficiency of salt becomes less as road temperatures fall towards minus 7 ºC and below minus 10 ºC salting is almost ineffective.
Salt is not very effective when spread on top of ice and snow but becomes more effective when traffic has crushed and circulated the salt over the road surface. During extended periods of heavy snow abrasive material such as sharp sand can be mixed with the salt to help provide traction and break down compacted snow and ice.
Q: Why do we only grit footways in the city centre?
Widespread footway gritting is labour intensive and is not automatically done. It takes considerable time and ice/frost lasting only for short periods could not be treated before temperatures rise enough to melt naturally. Only where persistent snow or ice appears do we endeavour to grit other footways on a reactive basis.
Peterborough City Council salts footways in the main shopping and routes to city centre car parks where there are higher volumes of pedestrians.
With well over a thousand kilometres of footways in Peterborough salting every single one is simply not feasible – our efforts have to be concentrated on areas that will benefit the most people.
Q: Do you provide Grit bins?
There are currently over 100 grit bins around the greater city area, located predominantly in areas that are not on or near the gritting routes. These are restocked at regular intervals during the winter season however if a grit bin needs to be restocked please let us know by contacting Peterborough Direct (01733) 747474.
As grit bins are subject to vandalism and misuse they are only provided if there is a genuine need. Requests for the provision of grit bins at new locations are assessed against various criteria and only provided if full justification can be shown.
Q: If I spread salt from a grit bin, am I liable if someone has an accident?
Grit bins are provided as a 'self help' facility and are placed in locations where difficulties are likely to be experienced by users of the highway. They enable local residents and passing motorists to spread salt on the carriageway or footway within the locality of the bins should they experience difficulties. The salt is replenished by the Council but the spreading of salt by local residents and others is carried out at their own risk.
Q: Can I have a salt bin for my street?
Requests for the provision of a grit bin are assessed and judged against certain criteria. They are only provided if full justification can be shown.
Requests for grit bins are considered individually. It is important that we allocate new grit bins to areas that that will most benefit the surrounding location. The types of locations we would consider placing a new grit bin would be those with:
Salt from grit bins is meant for use on the roads and not on private paths and drives.
Q: Can a Grit bin be removed?
Often grit bins become the focus of vandalism or the meeting place for youths. If this becomes an unbearable nuisance, a request for the bin to be removed can be made. The agreement of other residents in the area would be needed before the facility is withdrawn.
Q: Do we supply salt to the public?
The Council cannot undertake to supply private individuals with salt. Local builder's merchants and other suppliers usually sell rock salt for private use.
Facts and figures
Rock Salt is generally used by Highway Authorities to prevent the formation of ice on their roads. Rock Salt is the natural solid form of salt, and is mined from seams deep beneath the sea bed. The spreading of Rock Salt on roads is commonly termed as gritting, although neither sand nor crushed rock grit is used in the process.

The Cedar Key Commission meeting opened on a quiet note of prayer and a pledge, discussion about bridge construction, then went into a pretty heated public comment session as resident Bob Kay said if a cell phone and wireless broadband tower is built on the island he will have to move away.
Mayor Dale Register announced at the opening of the Jan. 20 meeting that Commissioners Nettie Hodges and Sue Colson were absent due to illness.
By SARAH BARTHOLEMY
Shark Correspondent
Jan. 16 was a big day for Cedar Key FFA. After two and a half years of growing and donating fresh food to the Cedar Key Food Pantry, the chapter officially donated four tons of food, that's 8,000 pounds of freshly grown crops, farm raised tilapia, fresh Gulf of Mexico reef fish, one hog and five deer that have been donated over the years.
A Trap Neuter Return program in Cedar Key has treated nearly 1,000 of the town's feline friends.
The TNR program, organized by Cedar Key's Oliver and Doreen Bauer - owners of the Faraway Inn, has spayed or neutered and vaccinated a whopping 951 cats since its start in Oct. 2006.
Manatee deaths appear to be down last year compared to the record numbers reported by state officials in 2013.
As of December, 2014, 368 manatee deaths were reported for the year by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. One-hundred-twenty-five of those deaths were labeled as undetermined. Manatee infant deaths accounted for 99 mortalities. Sixty-seven were the result of collisions with watercraft. Twenty-six were attributed to natural causes and 24 died due to cold stress.
An Army Reserve unit that goes into areas after combat or natural disasters to help reestablish civil government is coming to Bronson and Cedar Key this weekend for a training exercise.
And while a media release says this is a way of sharpening weekend warrior's skills for when they are deployed to places like war torn Bagdad or Sierra Leone during the ebola outbreak, at least one Cedar Key city commissioner sees a more sinister plan at work.
The Cedar Key FFA added some more trophies to the ag room wall last month by placing fourthoverall in the state forestry contest held in Perry.
Aside from placing fourth, the team also brought home plaques for second place in equipment identification, third in general knowledge and first in compass and pacing.
There must be a law in nature that says the smaller the meeting room the bigger the turnout. Such was the situation when the Levy County legislative delegation met last week to hear what county and municipal leaders and residents want to see come out of the upcoming legislative session.
Decisions have been made on how to handle construction and the re-routing of traffic for the two Gulf Boulevard bridge replacements at Daughtry Bayou and Lewis Pass, but a solution that will make everyone happy on the C Street bridge work is more elusive.
Pepper busters Daniel Barrand, Richard Baker, Kit Lane, Roger McDaniels and Milli Chapell spent their holidays eradicating the colorful Brazilian pepper plant from the area. This hardy foreigner has come into the state and is considered an invasive plant as birds eat and spread its red berries.

Operation TOMMY-day 2 (a.k.a. Projectile Scallops)
We holed up in the Sandbox (we were led to believe there would be a Wii) for the better part of 12 hours. Designing, mapping, thinking, arguing, presenting and ultimately figuring out the best way to present ourselves on our little corner of the Internet.
We will return to Chicago today. This city of beer barons, Harley's and your Milwaukee Brewers has treated us well. It allowed us to focus almost entirely on the new nelsoncash.com and further strengthen our bond.
We ate well, we laughed… but most importantly, we learned that Link & seafood is no bueno.

Mattress shopping can be a nightmare! False advertising being the biggest culprit. I purchased a King Size mattress set from Mattress Factory and received it yesterday, price point was just where I wanted to be with a great product. I couldn't be happier! (this was a second purchase there). Worked with John and the next day with David Tiger, both were extremely helpful,professional and yes true to their words. I understand it is a family owned business and it really shows. Five star rating all the way. Thanks David and John!
Buying a new mattress here was a great experience. Mark was extremely nice and helpful. After looking at a few places, this was our last stop. Thanks again Mark!
This was a great visit.Mark was great, funny and very nice.i been looking on line all week, then i came here the price was awesome, energy where else was high like two hundred dollars more for the type of bed i got..and delivery set up and a frame, i save week over$ 400..Thanks Mark you are a sweet heart will be back for my next bed.....very please customer

Wide Ranging Positive Effects of Arginine
By Jeff Volek - Chat with Doug on the
ProSource Fitness Forum
Aug 9, 2012
is an interesting amino acid that is technically classified as non-essential since our bodies can make it, but because it becomes limiting in many circumstances it is usually referred to as conditionally dispensable. A wide range of studies have examined the effects of arginine supplementation of various aspects of health and
performance. For example, arginine is the rate limiting amino acid in the synthesis of nitric oxide (NO), a gaseous substance that causes blood vessels to dilate. It is well known that increasing the bioavailability of NO improves dilation of blood vessels and blood pressure, but emerging evidence suggests exercise efficiency and performance may benefit as well. In one study healthy men performed an exercise test on a cycle on two occasions an hour after consuming either 6 grams of arginine or a placebo. Arginine supplementation reduced the amount of oxygen (i.e., increased efficiency) required to perform exercise. This means that individuals accomplished the same exercise load but with less energy.
supplementation also increased time to exhaustion by 26% during high intensity cycling. Other work has shown that arginine supplementation may increase growth hormone (GH). When arginine is infused directly into a vein, GH levels increase dramatically. In fact, arginine infusion is used clinically as a diagnostic test when GH deficiency is suspected. The dose of oral arginine needed to increase GH levels appears to be at least 5 grams with larger responses shown with 9 grams. In a different study, a combination formula consisting of 7 g of arginine with 1.5 g HMB, 7 g of glutamine, and 3 g taurine resulted in striking improvements in body composition. Compared to a control group who received a placebo, healthy young men who supplemented with the arginine formula during 12 weeks of heavy resistance training showed a 10 pound greater increase in lean body mass. Thus
arginine supplementation
alone or in conjunction with other nutrients holds promise in a variety of contexts related to health and performance. Studies in healthy individuals show wide variability in the absorption of arginine after different oral doses suggesting that the ideal dose needs to be customized to each person.

After the discovery of the new world, trade quickly became the most important interaction between the American natives and the colonists.

"Music From Another Dimension!" (featuring a vintage-style sci-fi cover) is Aerosmith's 15th studio album — and the band's first since "Honkin' on Bobo" in 2004.
"Legendary Child," the album's first single, was released last summer, whetting appetites for the new CD from the legendary Bad Boys From Boston. But the wait has been long, with many rescheduled releases causing frustration as well as anticipation.
The album follows a challenging period for the band, including a near-breakup, substance-abuse problems, health issues and singer Steven Tyler's stint on "American Idol."
In an interview in August in advance of a concert at the Tacoma Dome, guitarist Joe Perry promised the album would resurrect the band's classic sound and was made of "the right stuff."
Indeed, the CD is packed with trademark rockers, such as "Oh Yeah," "Lover A lot" and the bluesy, hard-driving "Freedom Fighter." There's also a good selection of ballads, among them a Dave Matthews-like tune with an uplifting message, "We All Fall Down."
And no Aerosmith album would be complete without a lusty, leering-at-love rocker like "Out Go the Lights," in which Tyler sings about "a red hot lady."
But if you were hoping Aerosmith would take its sound in a new direction, you may be disappointed. The new CD is classic Aerosmith, plain and simple. Except perhaps for the gritty, on-edge "Street Jesus."

InfoComm to Co-Locate with Buildings Show
Organizers have announced that Realcomm, the annual conference and exposition on technology, automated business solutions, and intelligent buildings for executives in commercial and corporate real estate, and InfoComm, the world's largest audiovisual tradeshow, will co-locate in 2010.
Organizers have announced that Realcomm, the annual conference and exposition on technology, automated business solutions, and intelligent buildings for executives in commercial and corporate real estate, and InfoComm, the world's largest audiovisual tradeshow, will co-locate in 2010.
Realcomm, with an expected 80 exhibitors and 1,200 attendees, will be held June 9 and 10, 2010, at the Las Vegas Hilton, alongside InfoComm 2010, with an expected 900 exhibitors and 32,000 attendees at the Las Vegas Convention Center. InfoComm 2010 is scheduled for June 9 to 11.
Over the years, the role of AV in buildings has transformed from stand-alone equipment into complex systems that are integrated into the built environment at the time of construction or renovation. Organizers say that as a result, building owners, CIOs, CTOs, and facility managers have traditionally attended both InfoComm and Realcomm.
"InfoComm strives to provide our attendees with access to a wide spectrum of groundbreaking technologies and educational opportunities," said Randal A. Lemke, Ph.D., executive director of InfoComm International, in a statement. "By having Realcomm co-locate with us, InfoComm attendees can, as always, experience the latest in conferencing, digital signage, audio, lighting and more, while gaining additional value by connecting with leading vendors in building automation."
Realcomm registrants will receive complimentary access to the InfoComm 2010 Show floor, and the close proximity will make it easier for attendees to participate in valuable education sessions offered at both events.
"The strategic significance of this co-location should not be overlooked," said Jim Young, CEO and co-founder of Realcomm Conference Group LLC, in a statement. "The bottom line is that all systems will inevitably be run over one standard IP network. The faster we get our property, facility, energy, audiovisual, data, and phone networks onto one network, the faster we will be able to achieve the efficiency and innovation that the 21st century will require of buildings."
Officials said consideration was given to enabling attendees to save money by traveling only once to both events, particularly in a struggling economy. "Combining shuttle buses and other fixed expenses will also help us benefit from economies of scale," said Lemke.
Registration for InfoComm 2010 will open in early February at www.infocommshow.org. Registration for Realcomm is now open at www.realcomm.com. Organizers said that companies interested in returning to sponsor or exhibit at either event should contact the organization that it has traditionally been affiliated with. New exhibitors may contact either group for more information.

Treatment Options
The treatment options for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) vary widely with the extent of the disease and the symptoms you have. If the disease is in an early stage and you don't have symptoms, your doctor may discuss with you the option of watchful waiting or observation. If tests confirm that your CLL is progressing rapidly and if you are having symptoms, more aggressive treatments may be used. These include chemotherapy, monoclonal antibody therapy, radiation therapy and bone marrow transplant.
Watchful Waiting
Particularly in older adults and those who have no symptoms of leukemia, a period of observation may be chosen. During watchful waiting, you will be closely monitored for changes in your physical health and any increase in symptoms, and regular blood tests will be performed. Further treatment may be needed if your disease worsens.
Systemic chemotherapy treatment uses powerful anticancer drugs, injected into a vein or taken by mouth, that attack the quickly dividing cancer cells growing in your body. Because the chemotherapy drugs search out and destroy any cells that divide quickly, they also affect some of your healthy cells, such as your hair follicles and the lining of your mouth and intestines. When these healthy cells are destroyed, you may experience side effects such as hair loss, loss of appetite, nausea, fatigue and mouth sores.
Monoclonal Antibody Therapy
Sometimes called immunotherapy or biotherapy, monoclonal antibodies are lab-created immune-system proteins that are designed to stick to certain substances. In CLL treatment, these proteins stick to the surface of a substance on the cancer cells, helping your immune system to identify and destroy the cancer cells. The monoclonal antibodies are given by subcutaneous (under the skin) injection or intravenously (injection into a vein). Sometimes side effects occur, including fever, chills, nausea and low blood cell counts.
Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy uses focused high-energy radiation to destroy cancer cells. This treatment may be used to treat certain symptoms of CLL, such as an enlarged spleen or bone pain.
Bone Marrow Transplant
Chemotherapy with bone marrow transplant (also called stem cell or hematopoietic cell transplant) may be used to treat CLL that hasn't responded to standard treatment. In this procedure, chemotherapy is used to destroy your leukemia-producing bone marrow. Then disease-free stem cells from a compatible donor (allogeneic transplant) are used to replenish your bone marrow with healthy cells. Only a few patients with CLL are treated with bone marrow transplant because it is a complex procedure with significant side effects, which must be weighed with possible benefits to the patient.

Hi !
I got some spellbound camellias today and heard full sun is good. Now that I have been doing some reading it seems that partial sun is better??? We are using a drip system where I have planted the camellias the top of the soil also seems real dry but the middle very moist. Should I be worried??? Sorry for all the questions I just don't want to kill my new plants. Thanks! Jennie |
Follow-Up Postings:
Here in the Dallas Area, camellias need shade starting at 11am-12pm. Further up north, you can probably exceed that. If the plant gets too much sun, those leaves in direct contact with the sun will start to brown out. I use drip irrigation and have placed a dripper right close to the main stem of the camellias. Then as they grow, I add more tubing around the plant in order to water roots further away. My tubes have other drippers, about every 12" in both directions. They are set to run for 1 hour (equates 1 gallon of water) most of the year, except now, when I run them for 1.5 hours because our daily temps are in the 100-110s through September. |

Part of the 'Po' Boys' anthology
Working as a desk clerk in a French Quarter hotel isn't a glamorous job, but it pays the bills–just ask Harley Weston. Thankfully, Harley is happy with a boring but stable life; what he isn't happy with is Jackson Carney, America's 'favorite gay ghost hunter,' coming to film his TV show in Harley's hotel and bringing a Hollywood circus along with him. However, Harley quickly learns that Jackson isn't just another overblown reality show celebrity. In fact, Jackson is a lot more down-to-earth than the otherworldly things he hunts and he soon makes Harley wonder if the mundane day-to-day is really as satisfying as Harley tells himself it is.
About 'Po' Boys'
New Orleans is beautiful, mysterious, and above all, sexy. Po' Boys explores all the dark alleys and shadowy cemeteries the city has to offer, with all the heat you expect from the Deep South.
In Ghost Hunting with the Stars, by Lydia Nyx, Harley Weston is an average guy. So when Jackson Carney, America's favorite gay ghost hunter, comes to film a TV show at the haunted French Quarter hotel Harley works in, Harley isn't impressed. However, Harley does admire Jackson's surprisingly down-to-earth attitude.
In Bubba's All Night Diner and Bait Shop, by Kiernan Kelly, you'll find muffuletta and murder at Bubba's, where the danger is as thick as the accents, and the sex is as spicy as the jambalaya.
In Sexual Frankenstein, by TC Blue, friends and band mates Darian Jones and Tony Delacourt think they know each other well. When an opportunity for the band falls into their laps, it seems like a dream come true, but between their unacknowledged attraction, and some questionable decisions, they must decide whether to play it safe, or risk it all.
Finally, in Link to the Crescent, by Julia Talbot and BA Tortuga, werewolf Landry is sent to New Orleans from his home in the swamp, told he'll meet his destiny. What he meets is vampire, Thierry, who might just be exactly what Landry's looking for.
Let the good times roll!
I loved the author's writing style and she created two very likeable characters. They had an easy way of bantering with each other that made me smile. I also enjoyed the secondary characters she added into the story. - Read the review here!

Dan Tong: FINALLY! #2 DVD
50 Years Of Magic
by Dan Tong and Kozmo Magic
If you want to learn magic that is practical for performing in the real world, Danny Tong is the magician to look to. If you want to entertain the audience as you fool them, Danny Tong will teach you to do that too.
Malini Egg Bag: This 3 phase routine with spectator ends with the production of a glass liquid. Joe Lefler said, "This routine has to be seen to be believed".
Chop Cup: A short, fast rountine with this prop that does not promote a gambling theme.
Card on the Ribbon: A slight change in the presentation of this great Jack Chanin trick creates a second effect and leaves you clean.
Thompson's Aces: As an opener for a card routine, this in the hands, ace production would be hard to beat. From a shuffled deck, you will produce the four aces, one at a time, while cutting the cards. Combine this production sequence with "Christopher's Red and Black Aces" (Daley's Last Trick) and you will have an easy to follow routine that does not require the spectator to take a card.
Ropes: A rope routine that runs the gamut from C & R rope to Professor's Nightmare to a 3 to 1 restoration. A complete act on it's own.
Jack: A minor change in this old trick adds another laugh and extends the climax.
Running Time Approximately 1hr 18min

World of Warcraft as evolutionary model {WoW}
Feb 15th 2009 10:23PM Yes, but if we're talking memetically propogated specs as our 'genes' we have to allow for the fact that these genes transfer through more than spec sites - there are those who respec based on what their friends tell them, those who respec based on something they heard in guild, those who do so based on analysing their own game, who might go on to share in these already listed ways.
So, Blizz creates (and modifies) the environment in which specs can enjoy success or otherwise. Success in propagation is determined by (1) the ability of the "sending" player to reach an audience (one on one, one to many), (2) the ability of individual receiving players to find (through developing friendships/finding sites/independently theorycrafting) and apply new specs, and (3) the actual and perceived benefit of any individual spec (eg EJ as our most reliable (?) source could put out a superb spec and a large swathe of the population would still have it post-nerf because they got it 3rd hand and are continuing to circulate it even though it's not that great a spec. Phew!)
All this being said - the notion of "levelling = evolution" is pure bs. Evolution created, and then got rid of the dinosaurs. If intelligence (our current benchmark for power) turns out down the track to be non-survival away it will go and glowing cockroaches will have their turn at the top of the pile. There's no tree with bigger/stronger is better at the top, just niches and accompanying strategies.

Posts Tagged Japanese Internment
The most liberal thing Ronald Reagan ever did…
was his progressive use of hair color.
Now that was the kind of black he really could get into.
He also passed the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, 25 years ago this month.
How can we forget it? Easy. Do you remember what the Act even did?
But Stop and Frisk policies will help jog your memory. Stop and Frisk is like the internment—without the housing.
Read my blog at the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund website.
Linceblog: 442nd hero Lawson Sakai honored at San Francisco Giants Japanese Heritage Night; Then Cliff Lee and Phils end the Giants' win streak with 6-2 beatdown; UPDATE-Giants doppleganged 6-2, by right-handed Lee clone
Throwing out the first pitch on this night was a man who was playing third base for his college baseball team during the Pearl Harbor attack.
Lawson Sakai was a student at Compton College in Los Angeles, but when Japanese Americans were sent to internment camps during the war, his family was sent to live in Manzanar. While in camp, he volunteered for the Army where he served with the celebrated 442nd. The late Senator Dan Inouye was one of his company mates.
Sakai said he was saddened when his close friend died last year in December. "He said Hawaii would lose so much if he retired," said Sakai. "So he died with his boots on."
Sakai, 90 in October, is retired and living in the South Bay, where he is a Giants fan and often reflects on what the 442nd accomplished.
"We were really outcasts, in 1943," said Sakai. "If the Nisei didn't join the 442nd and fight the Germans, we (Japanese Americans) would not be here today."
Now for the other pitches of the night in the actual game.
Oh yeah, the game.
This was supposed to be a pitching duel between the Phillies' Cliff Lee, and the Giants' best pitcher of the season, Madison Bumgarner.
In addition, the Giants came into this game euphoric with a six-game streak after sweeping the Dodgers. The Giants are now also the official comeback kids of the National League, tied with the Orioles in the Majors with 11 late rally victories.
That's a lot of drama.
So you know it was OK to spot the Philadelphia Phillies for 3 runs in the 2nd.
They would come back, right? Even with Cliff Lee, who's been 3-0 with a 0.51 ERA at AT&T Park?
Big question marks.
For the Giants, only Hunter Pence stayed streaky hot. He homered in the bottom of the 2nd, and scored the Giants second run after a double in the 8th.
He was the lone offensive spark on a night the other Giants couldn't get on base.
So there was no drama. This was more an informercial for Phillies starter Cliff Lee.
The night belonged to Lee, who scattered five hits (including the Pence HR), and kept the Giants at bay with 6 strikeouts.
Bumgarner had 7 strikeouts, but the Phillies were hitting him hard all night.
S'not his night, you might say.
Bum's line: 8 hits, 5 runs, one homer run, 2 wild pitches, 100 pitches in all.
That really might have been enough to win if the Giants were hitting like they did in the Dodger series.
No such luck with the Phillies, not when Cliff Lee is on his game to shut down the drama.
UPDATE-5-8-2013 Giants doppleganged as Phils win again 6-2
On the anniversary of the first Japanese immigrants' arrival to the U.S. (May 7, 1843), the coincidence of having a Filipino American starting pitcher may have seemed like the stars were aligned for the Giants on Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month.
But Phillies starter Kyle Kendrick doesn't know much about history—as Sam Cook would say.
He created his own history against the Giants, facing them for the first time and making them look foolish at the plate
In 7 innings, Kendrick gave up just 6 hits, 2 runs, and posted six strikeouts, with no walks.
He had it going.
And Giants hero Tim Lincecum didn't.
Lince's line: 7 innings, 9 hits, 5 runs, 3 walks, 7 strikeouts, 1 HR.
Getting to be a similar story each Lince-start. Signs of brilliance, but it takes a while for it to show in a game. If he's not on right away, he starts losing it. Runs score, maybe a big inning. And then he settles, is good. And then it's up to the hitters. That's the pattern.
Pitching wise, Lincecum doesn't talk mechanics so much as his "rhythm." His rhythm is like a dancer's. If he's out of step, he's all left feet. In ballet, in baseball, it's subtle but noticeable.
Still, it may have been a good enough effort to win, if the Giants' batters were able to solve Kendrick.
They weren't.
The Giants were out-pitched, out-hit, 12-7, and with 2 errors, out-played.
This early in the season, all you can say is, "Next."
You didn't miss it…Fred T. Korematsu Day officially is on Wednesday, Jan 30
Korematsu, who passed away in 2010, would have been 94 on Jan. 30. And the state of Hawaii is set to celebrate his birthday in style as the 3rd state to honor Korematsu with an official day.
Karen Korematsu called it her life mission to have every state proclaim an FTK day commemorating freedom, diversity and civil liberties until it's recognized nationally.
I saw Karen on Sunday at the San Francisco celebration for her father. It was special because it brought together a diverse group of Asian American heroes.
It was like an Asian American Hall of Fame for Civil Rights. Three years after the intial FTK Day, the Korematsu Institute wisely chose to spread the love.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Labor unions to join Occupy Wall Street
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
October 5th, 2011 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) Multiple labor unions have endorsed the two-week old Occupy Wall Street movement and plan to join the protesters in New York on Wednesday. NEW YORK, NY (Catholic Online) - Larry Hanley, international president of the Amalgamated Transit Union told reporters, "it's really simple. These young people on Wall Street are giving voice to many of the problems that working people in America have been confronting over the last several years." Hanley's union has over 20,000 members in the New York area. He continued, "These young people are speaking for the vast majority of Americans who are frustrated by the bankers and brokers who have profited on the backs of hard-working people. While we battle it out day after day, month after month, the millionaires and billionaires on Wall Street sit by -- untouched -- and lecture us on the level of our sacrifice." Jim Gannon, spokesman for the Transport Workers Union Local 100 told reporters that he believed the Occupy Wall Street movement which protests the social inequities in the financial system draws its inspiration from the Arab Spring revolutions in Africa and the middle east. He explained that the protest advances issues that unions typically support. "Their goals are our goals. They brought a spotlight on issues that we believed in for quite some time now. Wall Street cause the implosion in the first place and is getting away scott-free while workers, transit workers, everybody, is forced to pay for their excesses. These young folks have brought a pretty bright spotlight; it's kind of a natural alliance." Michael Mulgrew, president of the United Federation of Teachers, said that he was proud to support the demonstrators. "The way our society is now headed it does not work for 99 percent of people, so what occupy Wall Street started they kept to it and they've been able to create a national conversation that we think should have been going on for years," Mulgrew said. It is unknown at this time how many union members will take work off Wednesday to join the protests. The demonstrators have been camping in a park in the heart of New York's financial district and they have been calling for people to flood the area for several weeks. Occupy Wall Street is a large movement made mostly of young Americans in their 20's who experts say are feeling the full brunt of the recession. They are having a difficult time finding work, getting insurance, and generally making ends meet. The movement shows no signs of abating and in fact, is starting to spread. Supportive demonstrations have already begun in major cities across the United States. While the group has no demands and no leadership, it appears to be very popular, and growing. What do you think about Occupy Wall Street? Is this a movement the faithful should support, or is it liberalism run amok? Add your comments below.

Kona Rectangular Dining Table
Teak Oil
I just bought this. I'm putting it together right now. It's easy to assemble. Based on the previous reviews, before I put it outside, I'll rub a couple of coats of teak oil into it. From what I understand, teak oil is supposed to protect against water and mildew. Later, if needed, I may apply a coat of polyurethane to the tabletop.
October 9, 2010
Functional simplicity
The original table [...] was damaged, so we had to return it. Replacement [...] was very easy to assemble. We've enjoyed using this table on our roof terrace. With an umbrella it makes a great table for eating and just sitting around on a warm day or evening.
June 1, 2009
Great value for a beautiful collection!
This is a beautiful table. We got the entire collection and couldn't be happier. We were looking at Teak furniture collections but didn't want to spend [$]+. This is as beautiful. Not has sturdy but that would be assumed. We entertain every weekend and everyone compliments us on how beautiful it is. So far its lasted outside a year and 1 1/2 with no weathering. Still looks as good as new!
March 23, 2009
It's a beautiful table.
[...]It's a beautiful table and guests routinely remark that the table must have cost "an arm and a leg." If they only knew what a great deal I got. My table also sits in direct sunlight and is holding up very well. I would recommend buying this table to anyone.

Kona Dining Table
I bought this table because I loved the design and color. However after having to leave the table out in the elements for a year I had to refinish the entire table top due to mold and pollen buildup which when washed off removed the stain color. I live in the deep south where pollen, mildew and mold are a constant problem. Would have hoped the table would have lasted a little bit longer and did also oil the wood during this period to keep it from drying out too much. Its alright pricewise if you don't expect this table to weather like teak.
April 26, 2009
Terrible in dry climates
I bought the Kona table and a number of pieces from the Baja set. I'm sorry to say I think it's the worst patio furniture I could have purchased in the desert southwest.
The wood dried, cracked, and split at many of the glued joints. Over time it kept shrinking, until it literally fell apart. I've oiled and urethaned twice, and finally resulted to reinforcing the table and chairs with galvanized plates. If you live in CA, AZ, NM, or NV do yourself a favor and don't buy this furniture.
March 30, 2011
Worst patio investment ever!
We bought this table and a full set of Catalina charis and bench 2 seasons ago. This year, it is all headed to the wood pile.
DO NOT buy this if you live in a sunny or arid environment (NM, AZ, CA). The wood fades incredibly quickly, continually dries and shrinks (requiring constant tightening) and eventually splits. I should have taken the hint when the first bench we brought home promptly split at a key seam after only 2 weeks outdoors and returned the lot.
Our furniture" was in partial shade all day, stored in the winter, and I treated the wood twice in the past 2 years. Every piece has completely fallen apart. I am shocked at the low quality for the price we paid. We "invested" over $600 on our set only to be sourly disappointed in the furniture.
March 18, 2011
Very Poor Quality
We bought this table (and chairs) because we thought is looked really nice however the quality is horrible! We coated/waterproofed it at least a few times but it still warped, in some places the wood was splitting and, the slats on the table and chairs would move & shift. Not worth the money. I do not recommend this set.
