Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki signed into law a new constitution today during a ceremony partly overshadowed by the presence of Sudanese President Umar al- Bashir, wanted by the International Criminal Court for genocide.
Al-Bashir joined other East African leaders as well as tens of thousands of Kenyans at the signing ceremony that took place in a downtown park in the capital, Nairobi.
The Hague-based ICC in July charged al-Bashir with three counts of genocide against the Fur, Masalit and Zaghawa ethnic groups in the western region of Darfur. The court had issued another warrant for him in March 2009 for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity. Kenya is a member of the ICC and is therefore obliged to arrest al-Bashir, New York-based Human Rights Watch said today in an e-mailed statement.
"Kenya will forever tarnish the celebration of its long- awaited constitution," said Elise Keppler, a senior counsel at Human Rights Watch. "Even worse, hosting al-Bashir would throw into question Kenya's commitment to cooperate with the ICC in its Kenyan investigation."
Foreign Affairs Minister Moses Wetang'ula said that Kenya won't arrest al-Bashir because he was invited by the government, according to the Daily Nation website.
Kenyan Suspects
ICC Chief Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo said on May 12 that he plans to present cases against six Kenyans by the end of the year, after a probe into allegations of crimes against humanity during violence that followed disputed elections in December 2007. The ICC stepped in after Kenyan lawmakers failed several times to create a local tribunal to try suspects.
An estimated 1,500 people died in ethnic clashes after Kibaki claimed victory in a presidential election that his political rival, Raila Odinga, said was rigged.
Two months of violence ended after the leaders signed a power-sharing accord that named Odinga as prime minister and agreed on changes including a new constitution. Former United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan, who mediated in the peace negotiations, was also in attendance at today's ceremony. It followed an Aug. 4 referendum in which Kenyans voted in favor of the charter.
The constitution aims to distribute political power among the country's 42 ethnic groups, achieve more equitable land distribution and put checks and balances on the president, aiming to avoid a repeat of the post-election violence.
'New Page'
"We have opened a clean new page on our books," Odinga said at today's ceremony. "On that page we begin writing the story of an equal and just society." Kibaki called it the "most important day" in the country's post-independence history. The new charter replaces one dating to when Kenya gained independence from Britain in 1963.
Al-Bashir embodies the spirit of impunity and "bad governance" that Kenyan leaders said they were trying to leave behind with the new constitution, Karuti Kanyinga, a political scientist in Kenya, said during an interview with the privately owned KTN television station today. "It's a blot on this very important occasion. It's sending the very wrong signal," he said.
Kenya is among the 53 member states of the African Union, which last month called on the ICC to suspend arrest warrants against al-Bashir, while the continental body investigates the allegations of genocide.
As many as 300,000 people have died, mainly through illness and starvation, and more than 2.7 million have been displaced in Darfur since February 2003, according to the UN. Sudan says the death toll is about 10,000.
'Mixed Feelings'
Allowing al-Bashir into the country may be a sign that Kenya's political leaders are unwilling to cooperate with the ICC investigation into the unrest that followed the 2007 vote, John Ashworth, acting director of the Denis Hurley Peace Institute in Pretoria, South Africa, said today.
"Possibly Kenya doesn't see any link between President Bashir's own indictment and their own dealings with the ICC," Ashworth said in an e-mailed response to questions. "Possibly this is connected with very mixed feelings within Kenya's government and society as to whether their issues should be dealt with internally or by the ICC."

Leroy Comrie beamed with pride after triumphing over challenger Clyde Vanel to retain his District 27 City Council seat in Tuesday's Democratic primary.
"It feels good that the community has validated me by giving me the honor of continuing to be their City Council member," he said. "I tried to run my campaign based on my record and my desire to continue to serve the community and I'm glad that the community responded in kind."
During his victory speech at the Guy R. Brewer United Democratic Club on Linden Boulevard, Comrie thanked his supporters, staff and volunteers.
"The energy that went into the campaign over the the last few days was tremendous," he later said. "It created a great positive energy throughout the district."
Comrie was joined by other elected officials who had supported his campaign such as state Sen. Malcolm Smith (D-Jamaica), Sen. Shirley Huntley (D-St.Albans), and Assemblyman William Scarborough (D-Jamaica).
For many voters Comrie's decades of experience and ability to create community partnerships separated him from his competitor.
"He has shown great leadership in our district over the years," said voter Reggie Thomas. "If he promises something, he delivers. He is a man of integrity, a nice guy, a good guy. He's visible, available and will help anyone he can."
Daneek Miller, the president of the Amalgamated Transit Union Division 1056, said his members have supported Comrie since he was first elected to the district seat back in 2002.
"He has worked diligently on behalf of the community of southeast Queens as well as working people and the labor movement," Miller said. "He's championed our issues around public transportation and concerns of the community so we had no choice but to go with the person who has worked for us for the last eight years. It was just a no-brainer."
Comrie's first priority during his new term is to address the three-week backlog of constituent complaints that have come into his office. He will also try to find resources and a location to open a new community center as well as visit all the schools in his district to determine how they are doing and what they need.
The councilman carries a small notepad with him everywhere he goes, which he uses to jot down any concerns that his constituents bring to his attention. According to Jamal Wilkerson, the community liaison and special assistant to Comrie, that is just another way he shows his genine desire to improve the district.
"If something goes wrong, he wants to write it down and then immediately take action," Wilkerson explained. "That's his reminder to take action so that day or the next day something will be done about the situation."

So I'm running at lunch yesterday in the bright midday sun, minding my own business when a passing car slows down in the lane nearest to me. An elderly woman in the passenger seat who looked as if she could barely sit up and draw a breath, pulls the cigarette from her mouth and crabbily says to me, "Watch after those knees."
My initial reaction was to shout, "Thanks. Watch after those lungs! And that heart! And your skin!" But I didn't. Only because God performed some kind of miracle right then and there that was the equivalent of parting the Red Sea. Seriously, what the heck?!!

A few weeks ago, my friend Julie and I were walking the sidewalks of downtown and decided to take a No. 1 bus to Mount Adams. It was a nice spring afternoon, and we wanted to take in the sights up on the hill. While walking in Mount Adams, I couldn't help but notice all the cars parked on the hilly streets.

On Easter I attended a family dinner at which my ex-wife served roast leg of lamb. Thoughts of my friend Greg's words from Friday were in my head — that there's proof Jesus had lived. What would Jesus think of me eating a lamb? I started to feel guilty. But I hope that Jesus did live. If it's true, I'm sure he was a good person and someone I would have wanted to hang out with.

I almost died at Red River Gorge when I was 17. My friend, Michutzel Roberto Giglio, and I crashed through a guard rail on a rainy night. Our car plunged 65 feet to the bottom of a ravine, splitting the boulder on which it landed. On the way down, I yelled, "Lord Jesus, have mercy!"

Simple but wonderful morning discoveries make me happy, make me glad I didn't give up on myself. Only a year ago, in fact last spring, I was fighting something in my mind that was getting the better of me, taking me over. There were no birds singing and there was nothing in the sky I wanted to watch or witness.

Call it a bad omen. As I traveled along I-71, I saw it, creeping out of the horizon in a butterscotch mass of grizzled fur: a cocker spaniel in its final resting place along the side of the highway. The family dog probably. Surrounded by medians, he must have fallen out of a car. That doesn't happen in normal times, I thought, eyes wide. In normal times, you watch him just a little bit closer.

I think of my friends John, Amber and Anna. I also think of that man who wanted bus fare at the bus stop, the guy who tried to bully me for cigarette money and the woman who wanted to buy milk for her babies. Trying to put myself in all of their shoes, trying to understand why some people can find jobs even in bad times while others have to ask or beg for money and live off the streets, I'm having a difficult time wrapping my head around it all.

It was damp and cold and my coat was thin, so I hurriedly scurried through Fountain Square. But when I saw the horse and carriage, I halted. My ears perked up. I'd never been on a carriage ride. Whenever I saw those horses, I thought about how they braved the Cincinnati streets, the concrete fields, no matter the season. I thought about leather harnesses rubbing against their coats. And the hard pavement, the steel bits. I thought about hooves cracking.

I have hearing loss. My right ear serves only for purposes of ornamentation. In 2005 I went into the Atlantic Ocean and came out with only my left ear working. I'm not alone in this condition. A colleague, a very able reporter in town, likewise went into the Atlantic off the coast of Florida and lost the use of his right ear.

It's Not the Hopeless Coalition

0 Comments · Wednesday, January 21, 2009
The Greater Cincinnati Coalition for the Homeless, where I work, likes to say it's an advocacy organization, distinguishing itself from agencies that provide direct service to clients. The distinction is valid, except for the fact that the Homeless Coalition offers some very important services: a place for homeless people to receive mail, to use a telephone, to have a cup of coffee or a drink of cold water. A place for homeless people to sit down for a few minutes in air conditioning or heat.

2 Sprint fiber optic cuts grounded Alaska Airlines
The computer problem that has cut off Alaska Airlines' ability to put passengers on planes was caused by a combination of two fiber optic cuts in the Sprint system.
Associated Press
The computer problem that has cut off Alaska Airlines' ability to put passengers on planes was caused by a combination of two fiber optic cuts in the Sprint system.
Sprint spokeswoman Crystal Davis in Reston, Va., says one occurred at a construction site along railroad tracks between Chicago and Milwaukie, and the other was somewhere between Portland and Seattle.
If there had been only one disruption, the computer system would've been able to reroute the traffic. She says the failure Monday was caused by the combination of the two cuts. It also affected some other Sprint customers in parts of Washington, Oregon and California.
Davis hopes one fiber optic line will be fixed by 3 p.m. Pacific, which should put Alaska Airlines back in business.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
There's been no quick solution to a computer failure that cut off Alaska Airlines' ability to put passengers on planes, creating long lines at many West Coast airports.
The failure has caused delays at the Seattle-based airline's entire network of 64 destinations, which also includes airports in Alaska, Mexico and Canada. Alaska Airlines has an average of 436 flights a day.
Airline spokeswoman Marianne Lindsey says technicians are trying to restore the reservation network that was lost at 7:40 a.m. Monday.
The airline says the problem was caused when a Sprint fiber optic network in the Midwest was cut and Alaska Airlines lost its connection to the Sabre ticketing system.
The airline had hoped for a partial solution by noon Pacific time, but there was no indication a fix was imminent.
The computers Alaska Airlines uses to check in passengers stopped working at 7:40 a.m. Monday, causing long lines of frustrated passengers who were unable to board flights that were delayed.
Technicians worked to fix the problem, but the company could not say how long it would last. Alaska Airlines President and CEO Brad Tilden said there might be a partial solution by noon Pacific time and a full resolution by 5 p.m.
"We're doing everything we can to get back on track," Tilden said at Sea-Tac Airport during an unrelated announcement with Delta Air Lines about a new route.
The problem was system wide for the airline, a major West Coast carrier.
It could only apologize and ask for patience, said spokeswoman Bobbie Egan. An announcement in the Sea-Tac terminal said the airline would check passengers manually. Another announcement said passengers could re-book at no charge.
On its website, Alaska said if passengers missed flights they'd try to get them on the next available one and would also try to book people on other airlines if that was necessary.
The Seattle-based Alaska Airlines is the seventh-largest U.S. airline based on passenger traffic and is the dominant U.S. West Coast air carrier. It has an average of 436 flights a day at 64 destinations.
Alaska and its sister carrier, Horizon Air, are owned by Alaska Air Group.

meratrim is part of citrus fruit greening family and inedible as its extreme sourness, even though the rind from the fruit can be used while cooking dishes in India. Hydroxycitric acid (HCA) is now being purchased the fruit and processed in the contour of a weight-loss component.

Failing to plan is planning to fail! Generally I dislike cheesy little sayings like that, but that the actual first is dead around! If you are gonna be eat out/party/have an evening out you require plan ahead by making smart choices and see the gym! As an example if you're going to your favorite Mexican restaurant tomorrow night you would choose oatmeal with berries for breakfast, whole grain sandwich along with a salad and apple for lunch and some grilled fish with steamed veggies for dinner, and go straight away to the gym for 45 minutes of cardio in the evening. The reason is there are consequences for our choices – if you may eat out you are using double to triple high of a traditional meal. The bottom line is to accept reality, bear in mind those extra calories through smart planning and then have enjoyable!
Making better choices about everyday foods is solution to weight reduction management, even though the right foods to eat are additionally known, resulting in that end up being avoided most likely are not common education. Registered dietitian and professional chef Brenda Thompson shares some valuable information pertaining to fat, sugar and sodium content in everyday foods that in order to be used sparingly or avoided all mutually. Listen to what Brenda needs to say exactly how certain foods can hamper weight loss efforts and increase the potential heart disease.

I'm going to try to remember your candle idea where you turn the wine glasses upside down & use those apples...love it! Cute, cute dishes ...especially those salad plates & ramekins! Really like how you decorate that wonderful table for two! Sweet! TFS! Jeanne S. |
Here's to Johnny Appleseed and to another very creative Table... Love the blasphemous 'Faux Bible' !! Too funny.. Such a cute table and I DO remember large flowered and fruit patterns like that. The ticking (one of my favorites) looks so good with your plates and checkered napkins. Love how you put your centerpiece together with the burlap - apples and leaves...nice touch... Also those 'old candles' look pretty good too!! I think you've done Johnny - Proud!! jane |
OA, just love seeing your tables and once again I'm laughing so hard with your Bible remake. I reallly like the salad apple plates and your ramekins. My guess is the ramekins are for baking and the dipping bowls may not with stand the heat. Cute red pot on your table. Love the apple candles on your upside down glasses. I'm glad your going to suppost DGS teacher after DGS story. So..... how old is JAS?LOL Punk |

You are certainly a "creative" lady! I love your apple plates, really neat pattern. Gosh, you had lots of neat red things for this table, love that big red pot, pretty red handles flatware, and the ticking tablecover. Great way to display those apple candles too. How great that you had that burlap bag, it looks so cool with the apples and leaves tucked inside. Another fun table idea! P.S. your "creative gene" really kicked in on fixing up the book--we'd have never even known if you hadn't told us! LOL Luvs |

2014 Grammys: 10 Albums That Should Have Been Nominated For 'Best Rap Album'
Pusha T 'My Name Is My Name'
Sure, Pusha T's G.O.O.D. Music debut was pushed back one time too many, but the VA kingpin's dope doesn't spoil. And, he knew that as a fact. Not to be overshadowed by his labelmate's projects, Pyrex released one of the year's best street rap albums. Staying true to his own morals and exceptional level of lyrics that we would only expect from the Clipse, P did more than show and prove.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Secretary of State Charles E. Summers, Jr. to Unveil the World Acadian Congress Commemorative license plate in MadawaskaMadawaska - Secretary of State Charlie Summers will join regional and local officials to unveil the design of a new commemorative license plate issued by the State for the 2014 World Acadian Congress. A press conference will be held at Norstate Federal Credit Union on Fox Street in Madawaska on Wednesday, December 19, 2012 at 3:00 p.m. Secretary of State Charlie Summers will be on hand to officially launch the sale of the first commemorative plate produced by the State of Maine since the United States celebrated it's Bicentennial in 1976. The plates are only available at participating credit unions beginning on Thursday, December 20, 2012. They are on-sale now at the official souvenir web site – www.cma-store.com. Representatives of the Maine Credit Union League will also be on hand to share details of their partnership with the State of Maine and World Acadian Congress to make the license plates available for sale throughout Maine. The license plate will go on sale immediately following the press conference on December 19, 2012 at Norstate Federal Credit Union. A commemorative license plate is different than the speciality license plates issued by the state to support various causes. It does not have any numbers/letters on its face and cannot replace the legally issued plates. The legislation passed by state lawmakers, will allow for the CMA plate to be placed over the face of the existing legal plate on the front of the vehicle until they expire in December 2015. The existing plate on the back of the vehicle must remain on and visible. A list of participating credit unions will be available soon. |

AirTran Airways will defer 18 Boeing 737-700 aircraft to limit growth as it battles rising fuel costs.
The carrier will add six aircraft to its fleet next year, but 18 Boeing 737-700s that had been scheduled for delivery between 2009 and 2011 have been deferred to 2013-2014
"As we stated during our first quarter earnings call, as a result of continuing record high fuel costs, we are reducing planned growth for September, 2008, through at least 2009 from 10% to no more than flat. This transaction will accomplish a substantial portion of that plan," says Bob Fornaro, AirTran Airways' president and CEO.
AirTran has sold four Boeing 737-700s to Arik Air. The sale is expected to improve planned cash flow by over $40 million through cash gains on the sale and the avoidance of equity investments in the aircraft.
The airline currently operates 54 Boeing 737-700 series aircraft as well as 87 Boeing 717-200 aircraft.

NEWARK, N.J. - After all the testimonials from relatives and friends, the songs from legends and pop stars, the preaching and even laughter, the raw emotion of Whitney Houston's funeral came down to just one moment: The sound of her own voice.
NEWARK, N.J. — After all the testimonials from relatives and friends, the songs from legends and pop stars, the preaching and even laughter, the raw emotion of Whitney Houston's funeral came down to just one moment: The sound of her own voice. As the strains of her biggest record, "I Will Always Love You," filled the New Hope Baptist Church at the end of the nearly four-hour service Saturday and her silver-and-gold casket was lifted in the air, the weight of the moment was too much for mother, gospel singer Cissy Houston, to bear.
NEWARK, N.J. — Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder will sing at the private funeral of Whitney Houston on Saturday in what promises to be a very musical service. Publicist Kristen Foster also confirms that invitations went out to Houston's ex-husband, Bobby Brown; her co-star in "The Bodyguard," Kevin Costner; and Oprah Winfrey. Houston's longtime musical mentor, Clive Davis, will speak at the funeral. The eulogy will be given by gospel singer and longtime family friend Marvin Winans.
LOS ANGELES - Whitney Houston, who ruled as pop music's queen until her majestic voice and regal image were ravaged by drug use, erratic behavior and a tumultuous marriage to singer Bobby Brown, has died. She was 48.
NEW YORK - They'll be playing arenas when they tour next month, but on Jan.
NEW YORK — They'll be playing arenas when they tour next month, but on Wednesday night, a regrouped Van Halen provided thrills in a tiny club where a VIP crowd stood elbow to elbow as the storie
NEW YORK — It's almost winter, but get ready for some surf and sun: The Beach Boys are reuniting. The founding members of the classic rock group — Brian Wilson, Mike Love and Al Jardine — announced Friday they are getting back together to celebrate their 50th anniversary. They're working on a new album and also plan a 50-date tour that will take them around the world. "This anniversary is special to me because I miss the boys, and it will be a thrill for me to make a new record and be on stage with them again," Wilson said in a statement.
Adele scored six Grammy nominations on Wednesday, including for record, song and album of the year, but the owner of the 2011's best-selling album with "21" wasn't the night's top nominee — and that wasn't the evening's only surprise.
NEW YORK (AP) - The woman some call the mother of hip-hop has died.
NEW YORK — Nick Ashford, one-half of the legendary Motown songwriting duo Ashford & Simpson that penned elegant, soulful classics for the likes of Diana Ross and Marvin Gaye and funk hits for Chaka Khan and others, died Monday at age 70, his former publicist said. Ashford, who along with wife Valerie Simpson wrote some of Motown's biggest hits, died in a New York City hospital, said publicist Liz Rosenberg, who was Ashford's longtime friend. He had been suffering from throat cancer and had undergone radiation treatment, she told The Associated Press.

Alan Pardew: Newcastle United boss denies rift
Newcastle manager Alan Pardew insists any rumours of a rift in the squad are untrue and "conspiracy theories".
Reports suggested a falling out amongst the squad after a 6-0 loss to Liverpool but players Papiss Cisse and Cheick Tiote have denied any problems.
"As far as I am concerned, the group is very much together, pulling together trying to get a result," Pardew said.
Alan Pardew"The truth of it is that we are where we are because we have not been good enough"
"The fact that we have a lot of French players has been torn up and made to be something else. There is no problem."
He added: "There have not been words that were out of tone or were in a different place. We talked about football, what it is about and how important it is to this football club to get a win quickly.
"I think everyone is focused on that. Some of the reporting has been terrible really, but there is nothing we can do about it.
"We can't stop it. When you get a result like that people are looking for all sorts of conspiracy theories. The truth of it is that we are where we are because we have not been good enough, particularly away from home."
Seven French players, five of whom were signed in January, played in the heavy Liverpool home defeat on Saturday and the recent 3-0 derby loss to Sunderland.
Magpies' French January signings
- Yoan Gouffran, 26, striker - 11 games, two goals
- Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa, 23, defender - 17 games, no goals
- Massadio Haidara, 20, defender - eight games, no goals
- Mathieu Debuchy (above), 27, defender - 12 games, no goals
- Moussa Sissoko, 23, midfielder - 18 games, three goals
And Pardew has defended his new signings: "Some of the criticism of the French group has been so unfair on them. The only thing that they lack is experience in the division and the intensity has caught them out.
"I'll be the first to admit that the January signings have been poor in some games but they've been magnificent in others and unfortunately it's that consistency you have to gain. We don't need more fight or more passion, just to use the experience they've gained and put it to good use.
"They're motivated, sometimes over-motivated and they make mistakes. I could give you an example of Cheick who was desperate to win on Saturday and made a couple of errors in trying to get a win for us on his own - it doesn't work like that.
"That's the sort of inexperience we have. The young left-back [Massaido Haidara] bombs forward at 3-0 because he thinks that's what he needs to do to influence the game.
"I am confident they can get us the points they need."
Newcastle are one place above the relegation zone - five points above Wigan having played a game more. And Pardew, who brings the Magpies to former side West Ham on Saturday, hopes his side can find the spirit of Wigan in previous seasons to stay in the division.
"Because West Ham are safe there's no real pressure on them," he said. "This is the time of year when you're fighting for your life and you really need a win, the form book can go out of the window.
"Wigan have proved that many times and that's what we've got to do."

4th May 2013 - 11:41the problem is that this club is so used to frequent change that everyone expects immediate results.
there's no consistency because there's never been enough time to build any consistency.
it's all a bit of a mess. best thing to happen is to survive and not do anything rash over the summer... -

3rd May 2013 - 15:30What NUFC need is a complete makeover! Such a big club demands a topclass Manager - not a gambling crony of the owner and the Chief Exec! The Fans are fed up - 8 year contract - what nonsense!!! If it was Chelsea AP would have been booted out by Xmas. I agree there are some players like Jonas who have had their sell by date but then what is AP doing about it?? Come on Mike Ashley do something ....
Comment number 245.
3rd May 2013 - 14:49243) I agree that Taylor is not good enough. Nor Williamson, nor Mbia. Jury out on Debuchy ( I am not getting him yet) and am happy Simpson will play - I hope. Also unsure about Tiote and Sissoko - despite the hype around the latter. Oh - and Jonas is finished - so whatever happens change is coming.

Pardew has a tough job at Newcastle they are not as good as people make them out to be and I think as long as they survive relegation he has done a decent job. -
Comment number 243.
3rd May 2013 - 13:28Lets face it, is anyone surprised; has Pardew actually done a good job anywhere?
Relegation fodder, and if Wigan get two wins, Newcastle are down - no surprise when you back four contains the likes of Williamson and Taylor (some people agreed with his ridiculous England call)

Quoted Text If I had to pick three improvement goals for the New Year, they'd be:
Quoted from yaeli Thank you Dr. D. I saw you in my dream a few days ago. You were standing at the entrance of a building, maybe the school where you teach, at the top of some stairs. A young child was coming towards you with his parents. Surprised and content to see you he exclaimed: Here you are! This is how you look! He then ran toward you and you hugged him. A Happy New Year.

2009 Printing Industry Hall of Fame : Quest to Be the Best
September 2009 By Erik CagleSenior Editor
THE TERM "wake-up call" generally refers to a heightening of one's awareness to a situation that needs to be rectified. Herb Zebrack is living proof that the term can carry dual meanings, including a literal application.
This story traces back some 50 years, when Zebrack was a teenager attending L.A. Trade Tech during the day and working at a print shop during evenings. Zebrack also managed to squeeze in some courting time in-between, making for a rigorous schedule.
"What I learned by day, I could use by night. And what I learned at night, I used by day," Zebrack recalls.
With the shop's presses running at a not-quite-brisk 1,300 sheets an hour on a 50,000-run job, Zebrack would pull off the occasional sheet to inspect. Other than that, it wasn't a real hands-on situation. But, in burning the candle at both ends, Zebrack soon found himself dozing off.
Enter one guardian angel.
"One day I was dozing off and I got a tap on the shoulder," Zebrack recalls. "The guy says to me, 'Hey Herb, the great thing about printing is no matter how good you think the quality is, you can always make it better.' And that's stuck with me until this day."
Zebrack, 75, the president of Hawthorne, CA-based Lithographix, spent the next 50 years striving to make the quality of his printing better and better. He's left an impression on the printing world in general, and Southern California in particular, en route to his inclusion in the 2009 Printing Impressions/RIT Printing Industry Hall of Fame induction class.
Zebrack has done a remarkable job overseeing the incredible growth experienced by Lithographix in its 30 years under his guidance. When he took the ownership helm in 1980, the company was posting $1.6 million in sales, while doing business out of a 6,400-square-foot facility. Today, the business racks up sales of roughly $125 million in a 250,000-square-foot operation.
With humility being one of Zebrack's biggest assets, he defers credit for growth to the team, not the individual in the corner office. "Our growth is not a tribute to me, but a tribute to we," he says. "We grew it together, all the Lithographix employees."
Destined for Print
Zebrack grew up in East Los Angeles, "the other side of the tracks," he recalls, and enjoyed a happy, loving family life and childhood. Printing wasn't really on his radar screen; one day Zebrack could picture himself being a lawyer, given his persuasive demeanor, but he never felt driven toward any one vocation.

Bob Quinn is back in the DuPage Valley Conference.
The former Wheaton Warrenville South coach and administrator became Naperville North's new athletic director last month, replacing Jim Konrad, who stepped down to resume coaching the boys soccer team.
"I'm thrilled to be here," Quinn said. "I'm glad to be back [in the area]."
Quinn spent 23 years at Wheaton South, including 12 as the varsity baseball coach and eight as athletic director.
He left in 2009 to become athletic director at his alma mater, Loras College, in Dubuque, Iowa, where he spent five years.
"I loved every second of it," Quinn said. "It was a great opportunity and great experience and I learned a lot.
"But my family was still in Wheaton, so I was commuting back and forth and it got to be too much for me. We decided we wanted to have a more normal family life."
Quinn decided to leave Loras last spring and was looking for a job in the area and jumped at the chance to interview at Naperville North.
"I was chatting with some people in the business and somebody said the Naperville North job was open," Quinn said. "So I talked to Jim [Konrad] and [Naperville North principal] Kevin Pobst and it worked out."
With his commute reduced from three hours (he usually returned to Wheaton only on weekends) to three miles, Quinn is a happy man, especially considering he now has led two of the most prestigious sports programs in the DVC.
"Both are very similar programs," Quinn said. "I've been unbelievably impressed with the coaching staff and administrative staff [at North]. It's a very impressive group of professionals who are highly committed to make sure our student-athletes are people of integrity."
Like Konrad, Quinn missed coaching when he became an administrator at Wheaton South but he has found that he can still have a positive influence on young athletes.
"I miss coaching," Quinn said. "You miss those moments every day, so I want to be super student-centric. I want to get to know the kids and have the kids know me. I want to try to extend the classroom to the field."
With the help of his coaching staff, Quinn feels he can do that even while dealing with the minutiae of scheduling and staffing.
"I consider myself a teacher first. We want to create men and women of integrity and character because at [some point their career in] athletics will be gone and then it will be about being the best father and mother, best husband and wife you can be."
Quinn hasn't made any major hiring decisions yet as the coaching staff for 2014-15 was determined before he took over. The biggest change is Heather Schild replacing badminton coach Bob Funston, 80, who retired after a 58-year coaching career.
"One of the things that Naperville North and Wheaton Warrenville South [have in common] is we've got people like Bob that are committed to serving these communities, and you don't see that in every community," Quinn said. "We want to keep getting better every day and create a culture of teaching and coaching."
Quinn said the DVC is a great place to do just that.
"I truly believe the DVC is the best league in the state of Illinois," he said.
"The bad thing about that is it's a battle every day you step on the field. The good news is it means you're prepared to play with the best in Illinois."

10 Albums You Can Hear Now: Beck, Broadcast, Dropkick Murphys, Young Scooter, More
Plus: Divorce, Super Helpful, Jean Grae, Tree, 9th Wonder, Twenty One Pilots
Presenting 2013's inaugural round of ready-to-stream albums:
1) Beck via Portland Cello Project, Portland Cello Project Play Beck Hansen's Song Reader. "While the music is fairly consistent throughout, ranging from Sea Change-style string dirges to brighter cabaret-flavored jaunts, the band cycles through vocalists, from soulful men's chorus Chanticleer to outside folkie Jolie Holland." (via SPIN)
2) Divorce, Divorce. "Divorce are post-punk funk band tight, indulge death-disco rhythmic ideas, and thanks to cathartically unhinged female vocals from Jennie Fulk, provide the stalwart confrontational formula for desperate, fire-eyed rave-ups with wounded rage." (via SPIN)
3) Super Helpful, The Help EP. "[The Help is] grounded in underground boom bap, though it never stays in that box for long, briskly moving into zombie soundtrack score synths, trip-hop drift, and new age." (via SPIN)
4) Broadcast, Berberian Sound Studio Soundtrack. "Almost devoid of drums or repetition, these tiny vignettes float by one after the other, no one track explicitly memorable on its own but unmistakably Broadcast when consumed in succession. It's rare that an original score works so well as an audio-only experience." (via NPR)
5) Jean Grae, Dust Ruffle (Songs I Found Under My Bed). "[Dust Ruffle] features unreleased songs [recorded] between 2004 and 2010. When [Jean Grae] spoke about Dust Ruffle over Twitter... '[It's] such an interesting retrospective project, because I get to actually hear myself evolve from 2004-2010. Snapshots of life.'" (via XXL)
6) Tree, Tree Featuring the City. "Produced entirely by Tree, featuring a wide selection of Chicago talent, you're gonna want this in your life." (via Nah Right)
7) Young Scooter, Street Lottery. "This tape includes... single 'Columbia' as well as guest appearances from Bun B, Gucci Mane, Chief Keef, Ma$e, Ca$h Out, Verse Simmonds, Future, Travis Porter, and many more... this energetic project is looking to set 2013 on fire with his collection of street bangers and surprisingly radio-ready songs." (via Hip-Hop Wired)
8) Dropkick Murphys, Signed and Sealed in Blood. "Boston's Dropkick Murphys have now spent a decade and a half fusing Irish reels with roomful-of-drunk-bruisers punk shoutalongs... and it's a total blast." — Stereogum (via Teamcoco.com)
9) 9th Wonder, Black American Gangster. "The fourteen track mixtape finds 9th Wonder giving us his take on Jay-Z's tracks from [the] American Gangster album... All the tracks have been reworked in 9th's usual soulful approach. This shit is not to be slept on." (via stupidDOPE)
10) Twenty One Pilots, Vessel. "The duo — Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun — have been gaining kudos for singles like 'Holding on to You' and 'Guns for Hands,' which mix zippy keyboards, melodic guitars, and rock-meets-rap vocal stylings." (via Entertainment Weekly)

"Is It Open Bar?" 34 Thoughts We Have At Weddings
By YourTango
Whether you're there for the party, the romance or the open bar, weddings are—generally speaking—a blast. Yes, bridesmaids grumble about shelling out Louboutin prices for pastel taffeta, and the mother of the groom might have beef with the mother of the bride, but you wouldn't know it by looking at their beaming faces.
Weddings are inspirational: they rouse us to meditate on our own love stories, to feel our hearts swell as our friends find their life partners, and to wonder "When do we start drinking?" If thought bubbles could appear above the heads of wedding guests, here's what they might say:
1. Isn't this whole "giving the bride away" idea somewhat archaic?
2. Is that a baby bump or has she just gained weight?
Watch: Bride and Groom Like Big Butts (They Cannot Lie)
3. I love how happy they look. Do they feel the way they imagined they'd feel?
4. Are they going to have an open bar?
5. Damn, my shoes are sinking into the grass.
6. I'm so happy I'm not a bridesmaid.
7. Wow, the best man is cute. I wish I were a bridesmaid.
8. It's so weird that I slept with him in college.
9. Is the groom drunk?
Read: I Was A Groomzilla: Advice From The Trenches
10. And here comes Corinthians...
11. Hmm, love really is blind, isn't it?
12. Will I ever be the one up there getting married?
13. Yes, yes. Love. Yadda yadda yadda. Bring on the cake.
Read: Is Wedding Pie The New Wedding Cake?
14. T-minus five years till divorce.
15. How many weddings have I been to where they quoted Kahlil Gibran?
16. I wonder if there's cocktail hour before dinner.
17. Please don't let them play the Macarena.

Ruhstaller Brewing announces plans for tasting room on the grid; pushing ahead to build its own brewery
Jan-Erik Paino, the owner of Ruhstaller Beer, was educated as an architect and has always had a sense of style and an eye for marketing. But one thing he didn't have was a home base for his brand and his beer.
That will be changing, as the once-fledgling Sacramento-based company continues to flourish. Paino said Thursday he is applying for permits to open a tasting room on the periphery of Downtown Plaza (630 K St.), where he already has warehouse and office space. The building is next door to the new arena planned for the Sacramento Kings.
The tasting room does not have a firm opening date, but Paino says he hopes to be operating by springtime. The only issue is the timing of approval by the city.
The facility will be have something of an urban-meets-rustic vibe and will be located below street level. The room will be called The Swiss Rifle Club, a nod to the brewery's inspiration and onetime brewing force in Sacramento, Frank Ruhstaller, who was given the honorary title of "captain" by the international rifle club because of his expert marksmanship. He opened The Ruhstaller Brewing Co. in 1881.
Paino may not be as adept at target practice as the late Ruhstaller, but he has a keen eye for branding and an evangelical zeal for connecting his brewery to both the city's rich beer history and to its potential to revive part of its once-massive hop-growing operations.
"It's kind of like a Sutter Club for the rest of us," Paino said of The Swiss Rifle Club.
The arena plans make the Downtown Plaza location a hot one at the moment. How long Paino's tasting room will survive the inevitable spike in rents, he can't say.
The tasting room won't be serving the label's standard lineup of beers. Paino doesn't want to compete with nearby bars and restaurants that carry his brand. Instead, it will serve small-batch experimental beers, suggesting that it will be appealing to connoisseurs and those looking to taste something new and different. Some of those test batches may find their way into full-scale production, Paino said.
In addition to the tasting room, Paino said he is moving ahead with plans to build his own brewery. The company has been contract-brewing since it opened in 2011, meaning it takes its recipes and ingredients to facilities like American River Brewing or Hoppy Brewing and pays to brew its beer there.
These days, that can be seen as a shortcoming, as craft-beer lovers tend to seek a physical connection with the breweries and the people who make the beer. That may be even more important in Ruhstaller's case, since the company emphasizes its use of local and California ingredients in its beers.
Paino said a new brewery at the hop yard in Dixon, where Ruhstaller grows hops, will cost between $2 million and $3 million. If that site is not feasible – there is little to no infrastructure and it would be expensive to install water, power and other essentials – Paino is looking at a more urban location. Meanwhile, he has expanded the hop yard from 2 acres to nearly 8 acres, and will build a full-scale hop kiln, which will be used as a tasting room 11 months out of the year and a hops-drying room the other month.
Look for the new brewery site to open by the fourth quarter of 2014 or early 2015. All this news means Ruhstaller will be growing – and hiring. With sales climbing by 50 percent since last year, Ruhstaller plans to hire a full-time brewmaster. (It currently has three part-time brewers after its main brewer, Eric Ryan, recently left the company.) A brewer makes $30,000 to $60,000 depending on experience and what recipes he or she may bring to the company, Paino said, citing industry pay standards. The company will likely hire a full-time sales rep and more staff as needs arise.
As for the physical brewery, Paino said Ruhstaller's strength – staying nimble and not bogged down in debt by investing in a brewery – is now being perceived as a weakness. The brewery was not in a position to make such an investment in its first two years, he added, "but now we are."

Best all weather mats for Honta Odyssey?
I'm looking for some great all weather mats for our '07 Touring. I'm sure there must be something better than the stock Honda mats. Anyone have a good recommendation?
rugratnc Posts: 10We bought the Honda rubber mats for the front and rear cargo area for our 2005 EXL-RES Odyssey. We just traded for an 08 EXL-RES and the orignal carpet mats look brand new. I was able to get a really good price for my trade in because the van looked so good and now have the old (still look new) rubber mats in my new 2008. Well worth the price. I believe weather tech sells some too.

Something came along yesterday during daylight hours and stripped nearly half of my bean plants of leaves. When I watered them at 0630, half an hour into daylight, everything was intact when I got home after work half the plants looked like the photo. Whole leaves just gone. I know there are rabbits in the area, I've seen them around the neighborhood, but the garden is surrounded by a fence, which in turn is surrounded by the rest of the yard with three dogs. The garden fence isn't perfect because something small could probably get in where the gate meets the wall, but any critter that went in that way would have a lot of open ground to cover in the DMZ with the pups. Is the puppy patrol not up to snuff, or is this something else? |

Deer and groundhogs are the most common bean eaters. |
Also rabbis ! Can you detect any foot prints ? |
Some of my pole beans were stripped of leaves leaving a single bare stem with a viable tip. They have recovered nicely. |
I think I see deer tracks when I magnify the pic. It looks like deer damage. They love to eat the tops out. |

Deer....or rabbits... I have had both get into mine before. I walked out this morning and scared a rabbit out of my pole beans. He had eaten the leaves off the vines about 2 feet high. Deer would have eaten them 4 to 5 feet high. The plants will recover, but depending on how extensive the damage is, you may or may not have time to get a crop before frost. |
In my experience, rabbits like bean plants better than just about anything else. Of course, that doesn't mean it wasn't one of the other critters. But I think you would know if you had deer around your property. Jim |

Seems like it was rabbits. I kind of thought my place was a little urban for deer (a long way from the nearest stand of trees one could hide in) and after installing some chicken wire the beans have recovered (as have the lower leaves on the pepper plants I didn't even know were missing). Hopefully the beans will recover enough for me to get a harvest if the damage didn't delay their already late start too much. Thanks for all the help. |
Totally a deer! This has been happening to me all summer long, but they'll still produce beans. Despite the deer I still have so many bush and pole beans that I'm starting to get sick of them. haha |
Agree with wertach, I can see deer foot prints too. Also, rabbits are unlikely to be able to eat all the way to very top but leaving the lowest leaves intact. |
