In 1945, the property for Del Monte's Crystal City, Texas facility was purchased and the first cans of Del Monte® Spinach were produced in March of 1946. Today, the facility produces canned beets, carrots, potatoes, green beans and spinach vegetables and tomato sauce.
Del Monte's Crystal City plant is located in the heart of Zavala County and the Texas Winter Garden Region. The high volume production of spinach from this facility soundly allows Crystal City, Texas to be known as the "Spinach Capital of the World." There are 163 full time hourly and 22 salaried employees. At peak production there are 410 seasonal employees. Production runs eleven months out of the year.
Located on 48 acres in Washington State, the Toppenish facility, originally constructed in 1937, has seasonal production consisting primarily of whole kernel and cream corn, organic peas and baby whole carrots. During the peak season there are approximately 350 seasonal and some 60 full time employees on staff to run a 3-shift production operation. Toppenish Farm operation handles the harvest of the entire WK Corn crop that ranges to 8,500 acres annually.
The Yakima facility was acquired by Del Monte in 1916 and is situated on 9.5 acres in the city of Yakima in South Central Washington State. The plant packs dark sweet cherries, Bartlett pears, plums and apples. There are 42 full time employees: 20 salaried and 22 union hourly. At peak production there are 600 seasonal employees, 200 per shift with about 76% returning annually.
In June, 2012, Del Monte Foods purchased another facility in Terrace Heights and Sawyer. The Terrace Heights facility sits on 24 acres and is located east of the Yakima plant. This facility will be utilized for pear ripening and storage of finished product. The Sawyer facility sits on 14 acres and is located 15 minutes south of Yakima. This property has a cold storage facility and is multi-functional.
The Cambria processing plant has been in operation since 1920 and was purchased by Del Monte in 1999. The Cambria facility is located about 45 minutes north of Madison, Wisconsin and processes 7.5 million cases of peas, green beans, wax beans and corn from late June to early October. Cambria has 14 salaried and 31 hourly employees and an additional 270 seasonal employees during peak production. The plant sits on 377 acres and includes temporary housing facilities for approximately 200 seasonal migrant employees.
Del Monte Food's operations began in Markesan, Wisconsin in 1952 with the purchase of the Grand River Canning Company's pea and corn plant. In 1960, Del Monte purchased the adjacent Markesan Canning Company and converted it to a green bean operation.
Raw product is purchased from growers in three growing areas: Central Illinois, Southern Wisconsin and the Central Sands area of Central Wisconsin. Full time employment at Markesan is currently 72 people, including office and administrative personnel. During the processing season, over 300 seasonal employees, some of whom have worked for 30 seasons, are utilized throughout the facility. Approximately 70% of the seasonal workforce is contracted migrant workers, 211 of whom are provided with on-site housing.
The Plover facility produces green beans in addition to wax and Italian beans, potatoes, beets and carrots. In operation since 1966, Plover has continued to grow over the years, employing approximately 500 employees during the peak processing season.
Because of Del Monte's commitment to process and can fresh beans within 24-hours of harvest, all processing is done during the summer months from late June through the first week of October. The Root Crop Department begins operation in early July with 10-hour shifts, changing to three 7-hour shifts upon the completion of green beans in early October.

Compare VersionsManage software products via floating licenses to lower costs
updated Jun 20, 2008 12:25 am | 3,267 views
Current revisionAs the world economy is going through a major turmoil and the budget for hardware and software purchasing is shrinking, managers all over the globe are searching for innovative ways to lower their expenses without hurting workers productivity. One of the "black holes" in every budget at every organization or company that use software (and who doesn't?) is the cost for software maintenance fees, which are paid annually to the software vendors. This article discusses the possibility of phenomenal savings to any budget, by performing a restructuring of the way costly software products managed via floating license are being used. The promise of Floating Licenses: A floating (concurrent) license allows multiple users to share the use of a software application. However, a single license can not be used by multiple users simultaneously. When a user completes his work with the software, another user can begin using it. The promise of the Floating License concept is that shared software assets can provide for less spending, without hurting production. In reality it is rarely achieved and most organizations purchase more floating licenses than are actually needed, for lack of management tools and knowledge. One of the most important principles when using floating licenses, is that as the number of license servers at use goes down, the efficiency of the network grows. In other words, when a license pool is being split between a growing amount of servers, there is a substance loss of efficiency and less users can take advantage of available licenses. So why do so many organizations use floating license servers in an inefficient way?

The trial of a judge's son has been postponed after the defendant hired a new lawyer who wants the state attorney general's office off the case.
Wilford D. Carter II has pleaded not guilty to seven misdemeanor offenses but his trial was delayed after he asked the state's lawyers to recuse themselves.
Retired District Judge Dennis Waldron, who was assigned by the Louisiana Supreme Court to
preside, will hear the recusal motion on Nov. 29.
If the motion is granted, the Attorney General's Office will have to appoint a special prosecutor to try the cases.
If the motion is denied, the trial will begin that day.
Carter is the son of state District Judge Wilford D. Carter.

Join Senator Bernie Sanders and Campaign for America's Future in Supporting Bernie's Progressive Budget.
Much of the talk in Washington right now is about right-wing deficit reduction plans like the so-called Ryan budget, which would give even more tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires while making severe cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. It is time to shift the debate away from devastating budget cuts to a progressive alternative, which calls for making the very wealthy and large corporations pay their fair share of taxes, cuts a military budget that has nearly tripled since 1997, and protects the needs of the most vulnerable in our society—the elderly, the sick, the children, and the poor. We must stand together and say: "No more austerity for working families. It's time for austerity for the top one percent."
Please sign the petition below and tell Washington politicians that at a time when the wealthy have seen their incomes soar and when their effective tax rate is lower than many middle class workers, we can achieve deficit reduction in a way that is fair and that doesn't require decimating the social programs that millions of working families depend on.
Here are several ways that Congress and the President can tackle deficit reduction in a way that protects the needs of working people and the most vulnerable, while at the same time calling for shared sacrifice from wealthy and large corporations:

The Wealthy and Large Corporations Must Pay Their Fair Share
A recent study done by University of California economist Emmanuel Saez shows that ninety-three percent of all new income between 2009 and 2010 went to the top one percent. Everyone else, the bottom ninety-nine percent, divided up the remaining seven percent.
At a time when the rich are becoming much richer and their effective tax rate is the lowest in decades, here are a number of proposals, which could increase federal revenue, help lower the deficit, and adequately fund social needs in America:
- Every year, the United States loses an estimated $100 billion in tax revenues due to offshore tax abuses by the wealthy and large corporations. This is wrong. By cracking down on offshore tax shelters, we can reduce the federal deficit by as much as $1 trillion over the next decade.
- By taxing capital gains and dividends the same way that we tax salaried work, we would raise over $730 billion over ten years.
- By repealing the Bush tax cuts for the rich, we could raise at least $700 billion over the next ten years.
- Our economic and deficit crises are a direct result of the greed and recklessness of Wall Street. By establishing a Wall Street speculation fee of less than one percent on the sale and purchase of credit default swaps, derivatives, stock options and futures, we will reduce the gambling on Wall Street, encourage investment in a productive economy and reduce the deficit by $350 billion over ten years.
- By establishing a progressive estate tax on inherited wealth of more than $3.5 million, we could raise more than $70 billion over ten years.
- The five largest oil companies in the United States have earned about $1 trillion in profits over the past decade. By ending tax breaks and subsidies to big oil, gas and coal companies, we could reduce the deficit by more than $40 billion over the next ten years.

Reduce Defense Spending
The President's plan to achieve $1.1 trillion in savings over the next decade by ending the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is a critical first step, but we must go further. At a time when the United States has nearly tripled defense spending since 1997, and when we now spend more on the military than every other country on earth combined, it is time to cut military spending. A report that Bernie recently issued revealed the massive amount of fraud and waste which permeates the Pentagon's relationship with defense contractors.
Here are several ways that we can immediately reduce defense spending:
- By eliminating outdated Cold War weapons programs, we can save approximately $100 billion a year at the Pentagon.
- By eliminating waste, fraud and abuse within the military and every federal government agency, we can save between $150 billion and $200 billion over ten years.
- Four separate investigations by the Government Accountability Office have found that the Pentagon has $36.9 billion in spare parts that it does not need. We must reform the Pentagon's purchasing practices to be more transparent and cost effective.
- By bringing the troops home from Afghanistan as soon as possible, we can bring about substantial reductions in defense spending.

Protect Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid
During the most challenging economic times since the Great Depression, it is grotesquely immoral and bad economic policy to cut desperately needed programs for working people, the elderly, the children, the sick and the poor while not asking millionaires and billionaires to contribute one nickel toward deficit reduction. During this past year, as Chairman of the Senate Defending Social Security Caucus, Bernie has helped lead the successful effort to protect Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid from proposed devastating cuts.
Here are several ways that we can strengthen these vitally important social programs:
- Social Security today has a $2.7 trillion surplus, can pay out all benefits owed to every eligible American for the next 22 years and, because it is funded independently by the payroll tax, has not added one penny to our national deficit or debt. Bernie has introduced legislation that would lift the payroll tax cap on those making over $250,000 annually, which would keep Social Security solvent for another 75 years.
- By requiring Medicare to negotiate drug prices, we could save more than $15 billion a year. Due to the Medicare Part D prescription drug legislation signed into law by President George W. Bush, Medicare is currently prohibited from negotiating with the pharmaceutical industry.

Create Good-Paying Jobs
Today, real unemployment (counting those who have given up looking for work and those working part-time when they want to work full-time) is over 15 percent; 25 million Americans are either unemployed or underemployed.
During the last decade, the United States has lost about 30 percent of its manufacturing jobs and over 50,000 factories have been shut down. As part of a progressive economic agenda, we must demand that corporate American invest in the United States and not China and other low wage countries. Further, at a time when our infrastructure is crumbling, we can create millions of jobs rebuilding our roads, bridges, water systems, airports and public transportation.
We can also combat global warming and reverse greenhouse gas emissions by transforming our energy system away from fossil fuels to energy efficiency and sustainable energy. When we do that, we will also create a significant number of jobs.
Here are several specific provisions that we can strengthen our economy and create good-paying jobs:
- By eliminating loopholes in our tax code, which reward companies that move U.S. manufacturing jobs overseas, the Joint Tax Committee has estimated that we could raise more than $582 billion in revenue over ten years.
- By establishing a currency manipulation fee on China and other currency manipulators, the Economic Policy Institute estimates that we can raise $500 billion over ten years and create one million new jobs.
These are some of the ideas that constitute a progressive budget and a progressive agenda. If adopted, they will create millions of good paying jobs, lower our deficit and protect the elderly, children and the most vulnerable people in our society.
Please stand with us in the fight for a progressive budget and a progressive America. Please sign today.

Today's Club Linked With Hoilett Is...
Premier League new boys Reading are the latest club to be linked with a move for Rovers Junior Hoilett.
If the player was to go, which is very likely, then Rovers could expect a compensation package of around the £6-7 million mark, Reading are willing to pay that according to the Daily Mirror.
Earlier we heard that Tottenham were interested in the out of contract star in January, reports say that interest is still there and they will be amongst the clubs after him in the summer.
Hoilett can play on either wing or is just as comfortable up front, this season he made 34 Premier League appearances and scored seven goals in a struggling Blackburn side.
Bayern Munich and Arsenal are also very interested.

Baches, Beach Houses, Bungalows
New Zealand offers a huge selection of baches, beach houses, bungalows and holiday rentals throughout the country. New Zealand bach holidays vary enormously – from rural roots to luxury, cliff top accommodation. more
A New Zealand bach is often a small, rustic holiday home, also known as a crib. Beach houses and bungalows may offer more space and more modern amenities.
TOP 10 HOLIDAY PARKS - New Zealand
Feature holiday park site—New Zealand's Premier group of Holiday Parks with 50 properties throughout New Zealand. Each Holiday Park offers a complete range of accommodation from park motels to cabins through to motorhome and tent sites. In addition, if you're on holiday, visiting friends and relatives, or attending events around the country, our Club Membership can save you money.
View all regions with Baches, Beach Houses, Bungalows in New Zealand |
Bach Accommodation
For a relatively small country, New Zealand has a very long coastline (over 15,000 kilometres) which makes beach holidays or waterside vacations extremely popular with visitors and locals alike. No matter which New Zealand season you experience, staying for a couple of days (weeks or months) at a beach, seaside, coastal accommodation or countryside retreat is highly recommended.
Accommodation on the coastline can be as varied as the environment, but popular (and great value) self-catering choices include baches, beachhouses and bungalows.
Getting away to the bach for a holiday or break from everyday life is part of a Kiwi tradition that is still going strong throughout the country. Traditional baches (or cribs as they are sometimes called in the South Island) are often simple shacks, sheds, disused railway carriages or outhouses cobbled together that have grown organically changing with the needs of the family or the bach users.
Originally, baches accommodated the family, as well as furniture cast-offs, bunks rather than beds, stoves rather than kitchen ranges and often were located in the 'wop-wops' (remote countryside or by the beach). Nowadays, bach holidays vary enormously—from rural roots to luxury, cliff top accommodation. Beach houses and bungalows tend to be less rustic than baches, so take your pick from a taste of Kiwi life or what is typically a more comfortable accommodation choice.
Whether you want to dig out your board shorts and jandals (flip-flops or sandals), fishing rod and bait, surfboards and togs (swimming costumes) or simply get away from it all and relax, a holiday at one of New Zealand's many beach houses, baches or bungalows is an excellent, self-catering choice.
You can find and book your bungalow, bach or beach house in New Zealand online...(search NZ bach accommodation directory)

As was stated in the original Auroracoin proclamation, each and every Icelander shall have a chance to claim 31.8 AUR, commencing on midnight March 25th. However, the Auroracoin community has raised concern over what will happen to remaining coins that go unclaimed. It is clear that only those willing to accept the coins will redeem them, and thus it is evident that not all the coins will end up in the hands of the people. For these reasons and in light of the objective of the project - to get as many coins into the hands of the Icelandic population as possible - a slight alteration will be made to the Airdrop parameters without affecting the principle of equal opportunity. The Airdrop will be divided into the following stages:
Every Icelander will be able to claim a gift from me of 31.8 AUR, commencing on midnight March 25th. This stage will last 4 months.
The Airdrop is reset. Every Icelander will be able to claim a part of the coins, left over from Stage 1 in the premine addresses. The amount of coins shall be calculated in the following way: (Stage 1 remaining coins / 330,000 = coins awarded). In this stage and the following, both the original recipients of the coins will able to retrieve their gifts, as well as other Icelanders. This stage will last another 4 months.
The Airdrop is reset again. Every Icelander will again be able to claim a part of the coins, left over from Stage 2 in the premine addresses. The amount of coins shall be calculated in the following way: (Stage 2 remaining coins / 330,000 = coins awarded). This stage will last 4 months. At all stages the claimed coins will be a irreversible gift with full transfer of ownership.
If more than 6% of the total Airdrop supply (10,500,000) remain in the premine addresses after Stage 3, any coins exceeding the 6% mark will be verifiably destroyed.
50% of the remaining coins will go towards a development fund and/or towards an Auroracoin foundation formed by the community. The other 50% will go towards a charity or charities, to be determined democratically by the Auroracoin community.
The right is reserved to repeat the Airdrop reset stages as many times as necessary to get the coins into circulation, as well as any other measure intended for the same purpose.
This method creates an incentive for Icelanders to retrieve their coins early without removing the opportunity to retrieve some coins before the end of the year. Every Icelander shall have an opportunity to get at least the full 31.8 AUR.
Technical details on the method of authentication will be released later. Preparations are taking place. As much will be done as possible to minimize the possibility of identity theft and fraud. I can not guarantee a 100% fair outcome of the Airdrop and no claim can be made against me if there are imperfections in the process. However, there is little doubt that the Icelandic ID system creates opportunities to reach a large part of the public through services on the Internet, with a good level of security. As stated earlier, further technical detail on the Airdrop will be posted once it is under way.
This is a great opportunity to write a new chapter in the monetary history of the world and Auroracoin may serve as a precedent for countries around the globe. I thank the developers and miners for their support and participation. Together we will help Icelanders educate themselves on cryptocurrencies and start using Auroracoin in their daily lives.

As I mentioned via Facebook a few days ago, VV is turning 3 this month (!!) so I've celebrated with doing a huge site makeover. It started out as an idea to maybe get a logo designed and ended 2 weeks later with a whole new layout, color scheme, and aesthetic. I've been tackling it all myself which means I change my mind about things every 5 minutes so don't be surprised if you continue to see some tweaking (TWEAKING. Not twerking – I don't participate in that cultural dance move, sorry guys) happening around here for the next few weeks. I'll probably be posting even more pictures than I already do (like the ones above -what do they have to do with this post? Nothing really – I just like hanging out in my backyard shooting with my DSLR and film) since all the photos are now HUGE (YAY!).
Anyhow, this post isn't about site re-designs or gardens so let's get to the point. This post is actually about having a ridiculously spoiled dog that enjoys all of his treats homemade and gets half the popsicle mold reserved for him in the summer. Meet Tuko (pictured above. He only looks at the camera to scowl at it…) – he is a 2 year old boxer that we treat more like our own kid than a family pet. You may have already met him here or here or here but I don't hold you accountable for remembering since those posts were so long ago and you haven't seen him in awhile. When he is not sleeping on the couch or bed, he enjoys hanging out in his "room" (AKA our backyard – pictures above), racing Wyatt on his skateboard, and whining while looking longly at his leash.
Boxers are known for having trouble with extreme weather – their hair is too short to keep them warm in the winter and their short snouts are a handicap for them in the summer when the only way to stay cool is to pant it out. A simple solution could be just to keep them inside during the summer or make sure that they have ice water provided for them at all times. I tend to like to take the fun route though and keep a stack of these peanut butter popsicles (also known as 'pupsicles') in the fridge at all times for Tuko to enjoy after a long day at the lake or after our afternoon walk.

PHOENIX -- Snow is moving through northern Arizona and rain is still possible in the Valley.
Our latest forecast maps are telling us to expect between 2 and 6 inches of snow from the Grand Canyon to Flagstaff and along the Mogollon Rim.
The storm brings a slight chance for light showers in Phoenix.
The best chances for rain, which are no higher than 20 percent, will be late Thursday night into Friday morning. Most Valley locations probably will not see rain.
After this storm clears out, we're going to warm things up nicely for the weekend.
By Saturday and Sunday, we'll return to high temperatures in the 70s. By late next week, we'll see a high of about 80 degrees.

Early draft thoughts
I keep seeing nose tackle Phil Taylor of Baylor's name associated with the Steelers in mock drafts.
Given that he was kicked out of school at Penn State for a brawl and other problems, I highly doubt that is going to happen.
© Mike Pouncey is being linked to the Steelers for obvious reasons, but because of those same reasons, I doubt he'll be available to them with the 31st pick.
Maurkice Pouncey's performance for the Steelers last season will cause his twin brother's stock to be a little higher than it may have been if his name was, say, Mike Peterson.
Pouncey is good and deserving of first-round consideration, but he's not as talented as his brother.
© I think the Steelers' top targets will wind up being cornerbacks Jimmy Smith of Colorado or Aaron Williams of Texas, but that could change depending on who runs well at the combine.
Both of those corners have the size the Steelers look for in their corners and are willing tacklers.
© A lot of mocks I've seen have the Steelers taking an offensive tackle. I don't see that happening unless the value is there.
Max Starks will be back in 2011 and I expect the Steelers to re-sign Willie Colon. They also have Flozell Adams under contract as well. I could see them taking a tackle in the middle rounds for depth, but I don't think they felt their line was the problem others seem to think it is.
I think the way Sean Kugler cobbled things together this season showed the Steelers that they have a pretty good offensive line coach who can do a lot of good by coaching the players up.
If anything, I could see a guard/tackle being taken as a fallback if the corners are gone.

Best Skate Spots
With so many new skateparks being constructed in recent years, it's easy for the latest generation of metro-area riders to forget that street skating originated in the streets. While the concrete playpen known as the Denver Skatepark has an unbeatable urban location in the Central Platte Valley, it's still true that the most fun and innovative places to skate are those that weren't created for the activity. Some of the city's top spots can be hit quickly in a geographical loop -- which is necessary to stay one step ahead of the cops. Try the ten-stair in Civic Center Park, the beautiful brick banks of the nearby Colorado History Museum, the selection of benches on top of Market Street Station, or the classic pink ledges at 16th Avenue and Lincoln Street.

Then he announced he was going to run again.
"People are very understanding and forgiving," Carollo said, referring to the gullible Cuban-American grandmothers who returned former Commissioner Humberto Hernandez to office despite a federal indictment. "They know a mayor who has done so much and sacrificed so much cannot be judged on one incident."
Carollo declared he deserved re-election on his record. He then announced that his top priority was building a new stadium for the Florida Marlins, which he promptly went out and failed to do.
Diego's restaurant in Coral Gables. A party for Isabel Fleitas, a bikini model better known as Sissi. Fleitas gained her small amount of fame as one of the babes prancing about the set of Sábado Gigante, pointing at tubes of Colgate toothpaste or boxes of Cap'n Crunch cereal. So accomplished is her pointing that her page has become the most popular link on the Univision Website. Last June she saw a chance to stoke her rising fame by releasing a calendar festooned with her image. The Coral Gables party introduced the calendar to Sissi's eager public.
In the audience sat Miami's mayor, straying from his city limits. Few present at the party knew at the time that Carollo was on the prowl. In hindsight, though, it was obvious. He brought his heaviest artillery: his stiff lips, his awkward gait, and -- this is key -- a key to the city. With a typically forced smile, he handed the key to Fleitas, tossing in a framed proclamation declaring June 13, 2000, to be "Sissi's Day" in the city he governs.
Sissi's reign lasted longer than one day. Just this past April, Carollo, free from jail and almost free from the shackles of marriage, brought Sissi as his date when he cohosted a black-tie dinner at Vizcaya for the visiting king and queen of Spain. Sissi stunned the buttoned-up crowd by arriving in a showy, low-cut white gown, Carollo's arm around her shoulder as he led her from the car. The rumors of an affair blossomed so vibrantly that Sissi felt compelled to go on Spanish-language television and deny a relationship. She did so while submerged in a hot tub. Carollo, who was invited to appear on air with Sissi, did not join her in the tub, though show hosts Raul de Molina and Lili Estefan did.
Perhaps because he'd already found another TV personality to squire.
Carollo followed up the king's dinner by attending the Billboard Latin Music Awards show with Diana Franco, former host of the Telemundo network's Edición Especial.
The constant company of beautiful women is only one facet of the mayor's burgeoning (and more than a little unsettling) masculinity. Joe "Kid Terracotta" Carollo has been seen recently hitting the heavy bags at a Hialeah boxing gym. His assimilation into the fight crowd has taken him as far as Las Vegas, where he accompanied Miami resident and world champion Joel Casamayor, a refugee from Castro's Cuba, for one of the boxer's recent title defenses.
Such manliness is almost shocking. "He just doesn't look like a sexual being," says one city hall observer, who asked not to be named. "If it weren't for the kids you'd think he reproduced by splitting in half or something. He's cold. I've always wondered if he's an android designed by aliens who haven't quite been able to convincingly replicate a human being, but they're beta-testing this version on us."
This insider is not the only one to have questioned Joe's capacity for sexual reproduction. His wife did it herself. As the weekly New Times reported last year, Joe and Mari Carollo filed a lawsuit in 1994 in which Mari claimed a tumble her husband suffered on an aluminum ladder cost her Joe's "services, society, and consortium," meaning sexual relations. The case, brought against the ladder's manufacturer and retailer, was settled in 1997 before it went to trial. All involved decline comment.
Now Carollo appears to have risen above that problem for good, apparently with the helping hands of physical therapists half his age.
"At least he's chasing good-looking women," comments a veteran Miami political wag who requested anonymity because he lives in the city. "I wouldn't want a mayor who wasn't getting laid regularly. The man has his finger on the millage rate, for chrissakes. He's not chasing chunky interns. At least he's a world-class adulterer, as befits a world-class city. Miami needs nine sports stadiums, and a racetrack, and a telenovela queen screwing the mayor. He's our ambassador of love. He's the adulterer of the Americas."
May 12. The chic nightclub Jimmy'Z at the Forge on Miami Beach. A birthday party for hit-and-miss political kingmaker Herman Echevarria. The entertainment: sultry Mexican actress Lucía Méndez serenading the Hialeah mastermind of many a losing campaign with her throaty rendition of "Happy Birthday to You."
In the audience Joe Carollo beamed with pride. Méndez was his date. Guests at the party observed the mayor and the Latin diva canoodling in a booth. Published reports listed handholding, caresses, and a kiss on the neck.
As he did with Sissi, Carollo denied he has a new girl. But Méndez has undermined his spin several times in interviews on Spanish-language television, saying that she and the mayor are good friends and that he's such a nice man and handsome, too.

Information Regarding the Measles Virus
The measles virus has recently been featured heavily in the news media as some communities in the U.S. have been affected by the virus. In the year 2000, a highly effective vaccination program resulted in the eradication of measles in the United States. Unfortunately, the measles virus remains common in other parts of the world and may be brought to the U.S. by unvaccinated travelers. While there have been no reported cases of measles in Camden County, we remain in ongoing contact with the Community Health Department to insure that we have the most current information available about both the spread of measles and any other potential community health concerns.
If you would like more information about the measles virus and the vaccine, your school nurse has fact sheets that are available to you.
There are several websites that are also recommended by the Coastal Health District. They are:
Coastal Health District website, www.gachd.org
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, www.cdc.gov
Georgia Department of Public Health, www.dph.ga.gov
Please do not hesitate to contact your school nurse or the Health Services Office if you have questions or if we can be of further assistance.
Common Core State Standards (CCSS) are being implemented in 45 states to establish uniform, education standards in English and math for students in grades K-12. Common Core State Standards were not mandated or developed by the U.S. Department of Education. They are the product of the collaborative efforts of teachers, parents, school administrators, experts and state leaders to improve standards of achievement for students across the country. Common Core State Standards ensure that all students have the same opportunity for academic success.
Common Core State Standards are not curriculum. They are standards for what students should know and be able to do at specific grade levels. Camden County educators decide how standards are presented and met. When using CCSS, teachers will continue to create lessons and tailor instruction to the individual needs of students in their classrooms just as they have with the Georgia Performance Standards (GPS).
States voluntarily chose whether or not to adopt CCSS and retain full authority to implement these standards in classrooms. Forty five states, including Georgia, the District of Columbia, four territories, and the Department of Defense Activity adopted Common Core State Standards to insure there are clear, consistent standards for students regardless of their state of residence.
Common Core State Standards do not dictate which texts or resources teachers use in classrooms. Just as there is no standard curriculum mandated by CCSS, there are no mandated text books. Teachers and local review committees determine the instructional resources used in classrooms. Parents are always welcome to share their concerns if they feel resources being used contain inappropriate content. Camden County's local review committee will convene to reconsider the appropriateness of a resource just as they did prior to the adoption CCSS.
Pursuant to Senate Bill 289, the Camden County School System is providing notice regarding online enrollment opportunities for students. Students may enroll in online courses beginning in the 2013-2014 school year to participate in full-time or part-time instructional opportunities as provided by the Georgia Virtual School or enter into a contract with an online provider approved by the school system.
Potential PreK/Kindergarten Parents: State legislators are currently considering a bill (House Bill 100) which would require a child to be age 5 by Aug. 1 for the start of the 2016-2017 school year or by June 30 for the 2017-2018 school year. If the bill is approved, the entry age and start date for PreK students may also be impacted. Registration for Camden County Schools PreK/Kindergarten will be promptly scheduled as soon as a legislative decision has been made. Registration dates will be announced on the county website, through the Camden County Schools Facebook page and in local media. While a timeline for legislative approval has not been set, it is possible a decision will be announced prior to the end of March. Please feel free to visit www.camden.k12.ga.us regularly to check for an update.

"The Descendants of Philip Pendleton, A Virginia Colonist," was published by Heritage Books in 2007 after almost a decade of research. However, in the last two years much additional information has been brought to my attention and I felt compelled to edit and expand that work. The result is the recently completed Jan 2009 edition that represents my final effort in compiling and describing all the known descendants of Philip Pendleton in America. The Acknowledgments, Introduction, Pendleton Origins and Index of Names sections of the 2009 edition are provided by the "Related Files" links below. In the future, I plan to include other excerpts from the latest edition and other commentary. |

Apple has attracted competitors aplenty in the three years since the iPad debuted, chipping away at its once dominant share of the market. But when it comes to ecommerce, a new report says it's no contest, the iPad owns the market.
Monetate's latest Ecommerce Quarterly report shows that the iPad still accounts for nearly 9 out of every 10 tablets that browse e-commerce websites.
The iPad's share is actually down a bit from a year ago, when it had 91.68% of e-commerce traffic. Android tablets grew from 4.75% a year ago to 8.20% in the first quarter.
iPad users also spend the most. Monetate's figures show iPad users make an average order valued at $99.05, while Android tablets took second on a per-order basis at $95.48. Kindle Fire came in third with $83.58.

Toothbrush Fixes Space Station Problem
The International Space Station was faced with a malfunctioning electrical unit, and astronauts couldn't screw down a new one because the exterior bolts were covered in debris. Then they got the idea of scrubbing the bolts clean with a toothbrush.

Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne with a story of a stellar MacGyvering. The International Space Station was faced with a malfunctioning electrical unit and couldn't screw down a new one because the exterior bolts were covered in debris. After two astronauts were stuck outside for hours, they hit on an idea - scrub the bolts clean with a toothbrush. It was a thrifty fix for the $100 billion space station and luckily the toothbrush was a spare. It's MORNING EDITION.

Ku-ring-gai Council together with North Sydney, Lane Cove, Mosman, Pittwater, Warringah, Manly and Willoughby Councils, and in conjunction with the Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) has launched a new pedestrian campaign called - Distracted…?
The Distracted…? campaign aims to reduce pedestrian crashes and challenge pedestrians to take responsibility for their own safety when crossing the road urging them to zone in before stepping off the kerb.
The Distracted…? campaign runs across the seven northern Sydney Councils and will remind pedestrians to stop and be completely aware of all potential dangers before walking onto the road.
In today's technology-driven world it's easy to zone out with so many portable and hand held gadgets stealing people's attention away from the real world. This can be particularly dangerous for pedestrians who aren't paying attention to what's happening on the road.
Pedestrians become more vulnerable when stepping out from the kerb if their head space is occupied with their music and mobile phones because it limits their hearing and reduces their concentration.
According to figures from the Roads and Maritime Services in 2012, 107 pedestrian casualties were reported across the seven local government areas.
Many pedestrian casualties could have been avoided if people were more alert when crossing the road.
When a vehicle hits a person it is a very uneven contest, with the pedestrian often sustaining serious injuries. The vehicle and the driver often sustain only minor injury/damage.
The Distracted…? campaign includes print advertising, face-to-face promotions and various types of outdoor advertising to engage pedestrians.

FRIDAY, Oct. 26 (HealthDay News) -- In recent years, media reports of celebrities -- usually men -- citing "sex addiction" as the reason they've been unfaithful have made headlines.
But is what's known to psychologists as "hypersexual disorder" a real pathology or just a lame excuse for bad behavior?
The issue is a real one, since there's been talk of including hypersexual disorder in the upcoming revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), considered the "bible" for psychologists and psychiatrists.
Now, a team of experts has formulated criteria that could help therapists correctly identify the disorder, with an eye to treatment.
To test the criteria, the researchers interviewed and conducted psychological testing on 207 patients treated at several U.S. mental health clinics. All of the participants were seeking help for out-of-control sexual behavior, a substance abuse disorder or another psychiatric condition such as depression or anxiety.
Applying their proposed criteria to the data they gathered from the participants, the researchers said the criteria accurately spotted 93 percent of people with hypersexual disorder.
According to one of the researchers, the critical issue is whether the out-of-control sexual behavior is interfering with a person's life and they feel powerless to change it.
"It's about having sex that's causing problems, out of control, risking infection," said guidelines co-author Rory Reid, an assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of California, Los Angeles. "It's usually the consequences [of the hypersexual behavior] that bring people through the door."
Reid added that he believes the lay term "sex addiction" is a misnomer. "I wouldn't call it sex addiction because we're lacking information about whether it is indeed a compulsion," he explained.
To meet the criteria for hypersexual disorder, the behavior must be causing harm. "If a patient is engaging in a particular sexual behavior and it's not hurting them or others, it's not a problem," he explained.
So what do they mean by "causing harm"? For one particularly disturbing example, Reid described one patient, an air cargo pilot, who engaged in auto-erotic asphyxiation about once a month --- masturbating at high altitude to the point of passing out.
The study findings, published in the October issue of the Journal of Sexual Medicine, support a set of criteria that show what should be considered a hypersexual disorder.
The criteria include:
Certain things that would rule out a diagnosis of hypersexual disorder would include drug abuse (the sexual fantasies or behaviors typically occur while under the influence), underlying medical conditions, or youth (diagnosis typically isn't made for anyone under the age of 18).
However, Reid added that the study did find the disorder most often has its roots in adolescence or early adulthood. The most common sexual behaviors associated with the problem included masturbation and excessive use of pornography, sex with a consenting adult, and cybersex ("virtual" sex conducted online). Other risk factors included sex with prostitutes, repeated affairs, or having an average of 15 different sex partners in a year.
The good news is that hypersexual disorder can be treated. According to Reid, treatment typically includes cognitive behavioral therapy or experiential therapy to help people process their emotions and develop coping skills, mindfulness meditation to help patients increase their tolerance for cravings and 12-step groups.
Still, some may wonder if labeling out-of-control sexual behavior a pathology is simply turning normal adult behavior into an illness. But James Maddux, professor emeritus of psychology at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., says that in this case, that's probably not what's happening.
"I'm always skeptical of a new so-called disorder but in this case I think it's probably justified," he said. The key, he said, is that "the research is based on people who actually sought help and are disturbed about it."
Reid said that getting the new criteria into the DSM-5 would "put everyone on the same page" when it comes to diagnosing these sexual problems. He added that it would also provide well-structured criteria on which outcome studies could be based.
However, Reid doesn't believe the criteria will make it into the main section of the next edition of the DSM. "They've already made a decision that if this disorder is included in the DSM-5, it will not be in the front pages but as an appendix item -- which means more research is needed. It won't show up as a full-blown psychiatric dysfunction [in the new edition]," he said.

We should be celebrating high health care spending. Wait a minute, what? That's what Michael Hodin, executive director of the Global Coalition on Aging, recently wrote in the Huffington Post.
Hodin says that while many Americans believe our health care system is failing and the costs are too high, the opposite is actually the case – the high costs are a testament to our health care's success. Health care in America has provided us with groundbreaking medicine and treatments that are keeping us alive longer than previous generations. And because Americans are now living longer than ever before, health care has become a widely sought-after commodity. Being in such high demand, health care costs have of course gone up.
Although Hodin believes our health care system is successful, that doesn't mean he's against reform; our current health care budget is simply unsustainable for our government. But rather than simply "slashing spending," we need to reassess how the money is spent. This way, we can put money into research and programs that will save on health care costs in the future.

Coffee consumption unrelated to alertness

The stimulatory effects of caffeine may be nothing more than an illusion according to new BBSRC-funded research, which shows there is no real benefit to be gained from the habitual morning cup of coffee.
Tests on 379 individuals who abstained from caffeine for 16 hours before being given either caffeine or a placebo and then tested for a range of responses showed little variance in levels of alertness.
The study, published online in the journal of Neuropsychopharmacology, reports that frequent coffee drinkers develop a tolerance to both the anxiety-producing effects and the stimulatory effects of caffeine. While frequent consumers may feel alerted by coffee, evidence suggests that this is actually merely the reversal of the fatiguing effects of acute caffeine withdrawal. And given the increased propensity to anxiety and raised blood pressure induced by caffeine consumption, there is no net benefit to be gained.
Peter Rogers, from the University of Bristol's Department of Experimental Psychology and one of the lead authors of the study, said: "Our study shows that we don't gain an advantage from consuming caffeine - although we feel alerted by it, this is caffeine just bringing us back to normal. On the other hand, while caffeine can increase anxiety, tolerance means that for most caffeine consumers this effect is negligible."
Approximately half of the participants were non/low caffeine consumers and the other half were medium/high caffeine consumers. All were asked to rate their personal levels of anxiety, alertness and headache before and after being given either the caffeine or the placebo. They were also asked to carry out a series of computer tasks to test for their levels of memory, attentiveness and vigilance.
The medium/high caffeine consumers who received the placebo reported a decrease in alertness and an increase in headache, neither of which were reported by those who received caffeine. However, their post-caffeine levels of alertness were no higher than the non/low consumers who received a placebo, suggesting caffeine only brings coffee drinkers back up to 'normal'.
The authors also found that the genetic predisposition to anxiety did not deter coffee drinking. In fact, people with the gene variant associated with anxiety tended to consume slightly larger amounts of coffee than those without the variant, suggesting that a mild increase in anxiety may be a part of the pleasant buzz caused by caffeine.

Jessi Streib publishes a new book, The Power of the Past: Understanding Cross-Class Marriages. The book uncovers how the class of individuals' pasts shapes their marriages and their lives.
In an era in which class divisions are becoming starker than ever, some individuals are choosing to marry across class.This book traces the lives of a subset of these individuals - highly-educated adults who married a partner raised in a class different from their own. Drawing upon detailed interviews with spouses, Jessi Streib shows that crossing class lines is not easy, and that even though these couples shared everything, each spouse was still shaped by the class of their past, and consequently, so was their marriage.

Protagen will apply its UNIarray® technology and expertise in autoantibody research to support retrospective analysis of samples from a Biogen Idec clinical trial. Protagen is tasked with finding predictive and response biomarkers associated with multiple sclerosis (MS) therapy.
UNIarray is a platform for the development of diagnostics based on indication-specific autoantibody patterns in patient sera. These patterns have already been proven to be present in several autoimmune diseases as well as in cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. Protagen reasons that the systematic and indication-specific determination of autoantibody patterns will serve as a powerful basis to address hitherto unmet diagnostic needs.
"There is an acute need to discover possible response and non-response biomarkers in MS using genomic and proteomic level markers," says Peter Schulz-Knappe, Ph.D., CSO of Protagen. "Autoantibody signatures play an increasingly important role as a technology platform that could be used to identify patients for optimized treatment efficacy and to monitor disease progression."

How to Declare
CRS Majors
Students interested in declaring CRS as a major should enroll in ESPM 90: Intro to CRS no earlier than the spring semester of their sophomore year and no later than the spring semester of their junior year.
FNR, MEB, and SE Majors
ESPM no longer holds major declaration workshops. Students should contact the major advisor for their intended major to set up an appointment, or come during drop in advising hours to 260 Mulford Hall. Petitions to Change Major/College or Simultaneous Degree petitions should be filled out prior to the meeting with an advisor. The recommended deadlines are October 1 and March 1. Paperwork received after these dates may not be processed in time for registration for the following semester, so students should consult with their major advisor to ensure enrollment in the proper courses.
Please visit the ESPM Student Affairs Office in 260 Mulford or email firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
