Japanese PM Yukio Hatoyama resigns amid Okinawa row
Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama has announced his resignation after just eight months in office.
It comes after he broke an election pledge to move an unpopular US military base away from the island of Okinawa.
Mr Hatoyama's Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) is struggling to revive its chances in an election due in July.
He said he had also asked DPJ Secretary General Ichiro Ozawa, who has been embroiled in a funding scandal, to step down to "revitalise" the party.
The centre-left DPJ's election landslide last year ended half a century of conservative rule in Japan.
Mr Hatoyama, 63, was Japan's fourth prime minister in four years. He will remain in office until a the DPJ meets on Friday to appoint a new leader who will almost certainly become prime minister.
Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Naoto Kan, widely considered a potential winner, has already declared his intention to run for the post.
Broken promiseUntil Tuesday night, Mr Hatoyama had insisted he would stay on while intermittently holding talks with key members of his party.
Few prime ministers have gone from landslide election victory to resignation within nine months. But that is the fate of Yukio Hatoyama, brought down by a campaign promise he discovered once in office it was impossible to fulfil.
For months he searched for an alternative location for the US base, before official confirmation last week that he would have to make a humiliating climbdown.
He pledged a more equal alliance with the US and to rein in the power of the bureaucracy, but the row over the base, and money scandals, soon undermined the promise of a new era of transparent politics.
Members of the DPJ feared if Mr Hatoyama remained in office they would be trounced in mid-term elections to the upper house of the Diet expected in July. The party is expected to choose a new leader and prime minister on Friday. Whoever wins will be Japan's fifth prime minister in four years.
But he announced his resignation at a special meeting of DPJ lawmakers on Wednesday, telling them the government's work had "not reflected the public's wishes".
"I apologise to all of you lawmakers here for causing enormous trouble," he said.
Announcing his decision to the country in an emotional televised address, he said he had "tried to change politics in which the people of Japan would be the main actors" but had not succeeded.
"That's mainly because of my failings," he said.
Mr Hatoyama also cited funding scandals involving government aides as a reason for his departure and for his request that Mr Ozawa step down.
Two of Mr Ozawa's aides have received suspended prison sentences for falsifying reports on political contributions while Mr Ozawa himself - known as the "Shadow Shogun" for his power behind the scenes - has also been questioned.
Mr Hatoyama said he had asked Mr Ozawa to resign to enable "a fresh and clean DPJ" to emerge.
"Our politics must break with money," said Mr Hatoyama. "We must become completely clean in order to revitalise our party."
Coalition splitsMr Hatoyama had been under pressure to quit since last week when it was confirmed that the deeply unpopular Futenma US base would be staying on the southern island of Okinawa.
Okinawa is home to more than half of the 47,000 American troops based in Japan.
Many islanders resent the high military presence and have been angered by incidents involving US troops stationed there, including the rape of a 12-year-old Japanese girl in 1995.
For months Mr Hatoyama had searched fruitlessly for an alternative location to fulfil a pledge to move the base off the island or even out of Japan altogether, our correspondent says.
When he failed his governing coalition split - a coalition member was fired from the cabinet for refusing to back the decision.
The DPJ's next leader will have to take the party into mid-term elections to the upper house of parliament expected next month.
As well as Mr Kan, Foreign Minister Katsuya Okada and Transport Minister Seiji Maehara are also seen as contenders.
Okinawa is the focal point of the security treaty between the US and Japan which has balanced military power in north-east Asia since World War II.
Under the pact, Japan - which is prevented from maintaining a war-ready army by its constitution - subsidises the US military presence while the US guarantees Japan's security.

(I am a type O positive and have always been a big protein eater--now I know why.)I have a friend who has multiple myeloma. She is on chemo. The prognosis and the treatment are awful. I asked her about her blood type. She is AB. Could a diet for AB help her to survive?

Frogs and Summer Hibernation
Name: Barbara Status: educator Age: 60s Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: 9/23/2004
Some of my 4th grade students want to know if frogs ever hibernate in the summer? I suspect the students have observed frogs burying themselves in summer in order to cool-off or keep moist.
Frog activity is based upon the temperature of their surroundings. Frogs are heterothermic; this means their body is the temperature of the environment for which they live. If the temperature is warm as it is in the summer, frogs will not hybernate, but may bury themselves for protection or to rest. They can breathe threw their skin, so periods of time in the mud is not an issue.
During the fall when a certain low temperature is reached, this triggers the behavior for the frog to bury itself and begin hibernation. The warming of the mud in the spring activates the ending of hibernation.

Farmersville High School will be offering several new courses for the upcoming school year thanks in part to new curriculum mandated by the state in House Bill 5.
House Bill 5 will now require Texas high schools to offer endorsements or a specialized path based on five different categories, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math,) Business and Industry, Arts and Humanities, Public Services and Multidisciplinary studies.
The new requirements, according to FHS Principal, will only affect the incoming freshmen class of 2014-'15 and future incoming high school students.

Investigation leads to drug charges for 28
by WILY/WRXX News Staff • February 8, 2013 • News
A month long investigation led to eight individuals in Jefferson County being arrested Wednesday on assorted drug related charges, while nearly 20 others are still being sought.
The Mt. Vernon Police Department – Jefferson County Sheriff's Office Joint Narcotics Division took into custody 26-year old John Ferguson and 24-year old Randi Webb, both of Sandoval, both on two counts alleged unlawful delivery of a controlled substance with $30,000 bond each. Cameron Dunn, 21, of Mt. Vernon had bail set at $10,000 for alleged prescription fraud.
Also, 33-year old Corey McGee and 28-year old Alan Fleming, both of Mt. Vernon, both on charges of alleged unlawful delivery of cannabis with $15,000 bond each.
Fleming has already posted bond and been released. Also posting bond is 55-year-old John Stonecipher, of Waltonville, and 35-year-old Chad James of Mt. Vernon, both of whom were charged with alleged possession of drug equipment and were released after posting $100 bond each. James was also charged with alleged possession of cannabis.
Already in jail on a $150,000 bond for an aggravated robbery charge is Russell Brown of Mt. Vernon. He was charged with alleged unlawful delivery of cannabis with an additional $15,000 bond. The others remain at large and will be named upon their arrest.

Depicts the meaning of I'm with you in different languages of the world, which together can be seen as the Japanese flag. For the t shirt I also propose the addition of a Sakura ribbon to the t shirt. The Sakura ribbon campaign can be a separate campaign for fund raising as well.

Tisha Hill enters her third season at Butler and brings 17 years of Division I coaching experience to the Bulldogs. She has helped guide teams to postseason play nine of the last 16 years and has participated in five NCAA tournaments, highlighted by a Sweet Sixteen appearance in 1999. She has also coached teams to four WNIT postseason appearances.
"Tisha brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to our program as both a head coach and assistant coach at the Division I level," head coach Beth Couture said. "Tisha works primarily with player development and the growth of our post players. I very glad to have her as a part of our program."
Prior to her arrival at Butler, Hill spent five seasons as the head coach at fellow Horizon League school Youngstown State. During her tenure at YSU, Hill led YSU to its first win over a ranked opponent in seven years when the Penguins beat No. 23 Green Bay, 60-56, on Feb. 19, 2005. The win ended UWGB's 55-game conference home winning streak. Hill won 45 games during her time at YSU, improving the team's single-season win total by 10 during her tenure.
While at Youngstown State, she led the 2007-08 team to its best regular season mark since becoming a member in 2001. She coached one Newcomer of the Year (Jen Perugini), three league all-newcomer team members (Lauren Branson, Heather Karner and Tiara Scott), one all-defensive team member (Lauren Branson) and one second team All-Horizon League League player (Tiara Scott) while with the Penguins. During Hill's final season at Youngstown State the team went to its first ever second round appearance in the Horizon League tournament.
In addition to Hill's five years as a head coach, she spent 10 years as an assistant coach at four different Division I schools. She spent two seasons (2001-03) at Ball State, helping the Cardinals to a 45-18 record, two WNIT appearances and two MAC West Championships. Prior to her time at BSU, Hill coached four seasons at Virginia Tech (1997-2001) and helped guide the Hokies to its biggest turnaround in school history. Virginia Tech won four NCAA Tournament games while Hill was on staff. Hill was an assistant at Green Bay from 1995-97 where it won an MCC regular season championship in 1996 and at Indiana from 1993-95 where she posted two NCAA first round appearances each season.
Hill, a native of Cleveland, Ohio, enjoyed a stellar playing career at Indiana University from 1988-92. She was a four-year letterwinner and starting point guard for the Hoosiers. In her four years as a player she captained IU to a postseason WNIT runner-up finish in 1992 and set school records for career assists (533) and steals (220). She still ranks among the school leaders in both categories.
Hill earned a bachelor's degree in sports management from Indiana in 1993 and a master's degree in kinesiology in 1995 while serving as a graduate assistant women's basketball coach.

Remove the Win32/Reveton or Police Central e-crime Unit RansomwareBy Lawrence Abrams on July 5, 2012 @ 06:18 PM | Last Updated: June 12, 2013 | Read 61,871 times.The Great Britain Police Central e-crime Unite Ransomware is a computer infection targeted at people who live in Great Britain that locks you out of your computer and your applications until you pay a ransom of £100 in the form of a Ukash or PaySafeCard payment. This infection is typically installed onto a computer when the user visits a hacked web site that contains malicious scripts that exploit vulnerabilities on the computer to install the PCeU Ransomware without their knowledge or permission. It is for these reasons that it is imperative that all computer users make sure their installed programs, including Windows, are up-to-date with the latest patches. Later in this guide we will outline a method that can be used to make sure your programs are all updated and safe.
Once installed, the Police Central e-crime Unit Ransomware will be configured to start automatically when you login to Windows. Once started, it displays a large alert that pretends to be from the PCeU and states that your computer has been blocked due to it being involved with the distribution of pornographic material, SPAM, or copyrighted content. In order to access your Windows desktop and your applications you must first pay a fine of £100 in the form of a MoneyPak. Once the malware developers receive the ransom they will then unlock your computer within 1 to 48 hours. To make the alert seem more authentic, the malware also has the ability to access your installed webcam so that the alert shows what is happening in the room. The text of this ransom note is: As this alert is a scam, please ignore and continue with the removal guide below. Without a doubt, this alerts is not a legitimate alert from Great Britain, but rather a scam trying to scare you into paying the ransom so that you can regain the proper functionality of your computer. Thankfully, it is not necessary to pay the ransom and instead you should use the removal guide below to remove this malware from your computer.

Short-lobed Broom-rape [Orobanche parishii (Jeps.) Heckard ssp. brachyloba Heckard]
Listing CNPS List 1B R-E-D Code 2-2-2
State/Federal. Status -- /C1 OROBANCHACEAE May-Aug.
Global Rank G4?T2 State Rank S2.2
Distribution: San Diego County, San Luis Obispo County, San Nicolas Island, Santa Catalina Island, Santa Cruz Island, San Miguel Island, Santa Rosa Island; Baja California and Isla Guadalupe, Mexico
Habitat: Coastal Bluff Scrub and Coastal Dunes are the reported habitat for this species. On Point Loma the habitat (soils mapped as Terrace Escarpments) is a wind-swept, low-growing sage scrub with sandstone openings; at Torrey Pines this broomrape was reported at the edge of the pine canopy on a slope facing the ocean.
Known Sites: Three recent reports from San Diego County are along the Guy Fleming Trail at Torrey Pines Preserve (not noted at this locale during the following two years), on Point Loma Navy property near Fort Rosecrans (site inexplicably destroyed in 1988 for construction of a narrow repair road), and in a sandy bottom in Lux Canyon, Encinitas which has been brushed and is soon scheduled for development. Data Base reports are from San Miguel Island for the west side of Cuyler Harbor, at Harris Point Peninsula, 0.5 mile southeast of Adams Cove; from Santa Catalina Island from Ben Weston Beach; from San Nicolas Island 0.25 mile west of Elephant Seal Beach, northeast of Elephant Seal Beach, 0.25 mile northwest of San Nicholas Island, Dutch Harbor, 0.25 mile northeast of Daytona Beach, at the east end of the island 0.25 mile west of the lighthouse, on the road northwest of Jehemy Beach, just east of Dutch Harbor, south of Jackson Hill on a road near the beach, east of Sea Lion Beach on a road 0.25 mile inland, 0.25 mile inland from Elephant Seal Beach; from Santa Cruz Island between Black Point and Christi Ranch Beach, at the south end of Christi Ranch Beach; in San Luis Obispo County south of Oso Flaco Beach; and on the west end of Santa Rosa Island.
Collected in Baja California by Moran (SD 102353) at the head of a small arroyo, 2 km west of Cerro Solo at 31 10' North. The specimen is at the San Diego Natural History Museum.
Status: Short-lobed Broom-rape is close to extirpation in San Diego County. All populations should be fully protected with adequate buffers.
Baja Bur-comb [Pectocarya peninsularis I. M. Johnston]
Listing CNPS Unlisted R-E-D Code None
State/Federal. Status -- None BORAGINACEAE spring
Global Rank None State Rank None
Distribution: San Diego County; Baja California, Mexico
Habitat: Open, Sonoran Desert Scrub in sandy, silty, or gravelly soil is the reported habitat of this small annual.
Known Sites: U.S. reports of this species are from northwest of the Narrows and Borrego Valley.
The Baja Bur-comb is reported in Baja California from the Llano San Quintin south to the Desierto de Vizcaino.
Status: This species is superficially similar to several other bur-combs growing on the desert, and it may be more widely distributed than the few reports would indicate. Given the paucity of known U.S. sites, it is recommended that all U.S. populations should be protected.

What size of guitar should I buy for my child?If you have access to try out different guitar sizes, look for the largest one that allows the student to play a full G chord without touching any of the open strings with the left hand (ask someone who plays the guitar to help you test this). The student also should be able to see where to put the left hand fingers without having to turn the guitar up for a better look. If you don't have access to different sized guitars, here are some general guidelines:
What are the differences between classical, acoustic and electric guitars?Classical guitars have nylon strings with wider necks that allow the strings to be farther apart to facilitate fingerpicking. They usually do not have a strap button on the bottom and often have decorative artwork around the sound hole. Classical guitars are traditionally used to play classical, Flamenco, and folk music. They have a mellow sound. Note that it is not recommended to put steel strings on a classical guitar, since the neck is not reinforced to hold the stronger pull of the steel strings.Acoustic guitars have steel strings with a narrower neck than a classical guitar. They generally have a strap button on the bottom and a pick guard under the sound hole. Acoustic guitars have a brighter sound than the classical guitar and are used to play country and folk music as well as many other styles of popular music. Acoustic guitars may be amplified using an added pick-up; acoustic-electric guitars have the pick-up designed as an integral part of the guitar. Electric guitars may have a hollow or solid body and come in many different shapes and styles. They require an amplifier with speakers for the sound to be heard. Electric guitars have a strap button on the bottom and on the left side of the body and often have a pick guard on the front. They usually have both a volume and a tone control and may also have other controls as well as two or more pickups that can be selected individually or together for a variety of sound options. Many accessories are available for the electric guitar providing a wide range of effects.

Grading is 'accurate and consistent'
IT is now just over three years since the 24 major Irish export approved beef plants, representing 90 per cent of the country's kill, installed Video Imaging Analysis carcase grading.
It was an industry decision, taken in the knowledge that maintaining the status quo was not an option, and made more palatable by Government grant aid.
Farmers were initially hugely sceptical, but the technology is not even a talking point now.
Traditionally carried out by the Department of Agriculture, manual grading had always been free of charge, but there was a desire by the department to trim its costs and an initial suggestion was that abattoirs employ their own graders.
Plant operators were dubious about that, and would leave themselves open to accusations of bias.
Three VIA systems had been trialled by Teagasc in 1999 and the issue had been 'on the agenda' since then. The department eventually authorised German manufacturer E+V Technology's VBS 2000 system, of which there are around 40 in use throughout Europe.
One of the early users of the technology in Ireland was the AIBP plant at Clones, Monaghan.
General manager George Mullan had an open mind on the subject but was aware of all the trial work done by Teagasc.
"There was a 40 per cent grant on the cost of the system which today probably costs around €150,000 and there is a running and service cost of €8-10,000 per annum, which we have absorbed," said Mr Mullan. "As far as I am concerned, it is working well and we are happy with the accuracy of the system and importantly, its consistency.
"We have to perform a check on it every morning and if everything is not right, it will not operate. I know some farmers still believe we can 'tweak' the system, but I can tell you we cannot.
Carcase scores
"Right at the start people were complaining simply because it was new and was an 'issue' in the press. So we invited some of them into the factory and into the chill room to see the carcases for themselves and it was perfectly clear that in terms of carcase classification scores, they did not know what they were looking at anyway," said Mr Mullan.
"I will say this, however. The system does reward young cattle with uniformity of fleshing, but that is good. It is the type of cattle we want and the type of cattle that make the best return for producers.
"At one time you might have seen a big, long older beast with a good back-end making a 'U' but it would not be a 'U' on this system."
The VIA system recognises the sex of a beast – because it is programmed in at the beginning of the line – and grades accordingly.
At Clones, as in most plants, the system is installed after dressing and before the scales.
Factory records
Records of the grade and weight of each carcase are kept for four weeks by the factory – and that includes a photograph of the side. The system manufacturer retains records for two years.
"It can be useful in the event of a dispute and it is something you didn't have with manual grading. However, I would never override the system's classification of a particular carcase but remember, at the end of the day, I have the jurisdiction to pay a producer what I think is right in the event of an unclear grade," said Mr Mullan.
Evidence of the general satisfaction with the VIA system among producers, said Mr Mullan, was the fact that very few now went into the plant to see their own animals graded. "And of course there is no chance of anyone 'leaning' on the grader."

Should I Be Offended by These Drunken Irish Shirts?
DM – It is rarely disputed that the Irish enjoy a drop or two of Guinness on St Patrick's Day. The country, known for its jovial pubs and fondness for celebration, is used to being associated with merriment – but when it comes to being labelled as 'drunken', some see it as a derogatory step too far. Urban Outfitters have offended a swathe of Irish-Americans who have not taken a range of St Patrick's Day T-shirts, mostly featuring jokes about drunkenness, lightly…A $20 cap depicts a man vomiting and is accompanied by the statement 'Irish Yoga: Downward facing upchuck.' A second tee, $24, is glaringly unsubtle: 'I'm a Fuckin' Leprechaun' it says, the obscenity's 'U' replaced by a four-leaf clover. The largest Irish-American organisation in the U.S., the Ancient Order of Hibernians in America, is far from pleased with the garments, reports My Fox NY. Seamus Boyle wrote: 'There are those few who use this day as an excuse to over celebrate but that does not give you or anyone else the right to defame and debase a whole race of people by selling the garbage that you display in your stores… I can assure you that with over 40 million people in this country claiming Irish ancestry they will not be your customers after this.'
OK, here's the part where I'm supposed to agree with the AOH guys and be outraged that a retail chain like Urban Outfitters would have the balls to smear my people and call us a race of puking drunks. Where I'm supposed to get all indignant about the Shamrock Shake, Lucky Charms and Irish Spring soap. Where I say "What if they did stuff like this about the Italians on Columbus Day, Mexicans on Cinco de Mayo or the blacks on Martin Luther King Day?" and feign anger and act like an aggrieved party. Except I'm not. Because the first thought when I saw this swag was "I wonder if they come in men's mediums?"
Look, I get what my lad Seamus is saying. I'm a white, Irish Catholic, heterosexual, English-speaking American male. I am every demographic group you can ridicule in public all rolled into one. We're the only sliver of the populace you can do what you want to and not be charged with a Hate Crime. The ones you can go on the air and make any joke about and no one will intimidate your advertisers into dropping your show. Hell, the Globe (run by Brahmins, still) kicks off their Southie St. Patrick's Day Parade coverage every year with how many arrests there were. It doesn't matter that they get 600,000 people every year and there are like six arrests for disorderly conduct or trespassing; it's making the first paragraph. Mark my words. Because that's what we are to them. A bunch of stupid, pie-faced, inebriated Paddys. And frankly I'm OK with all of it.
Because being able to laugh about ourselves is part of being Irish. For my money, the best part. Irish babies starved while the British exported food. The Crown wouldn't let them own the land they worked for generations. Thomas & Brigit Thornton came to Boston and had doors with "Irish Need Not Apply" signs. So what are we supposed to do? Cry about it? Feel sorry for ourselves? Get offended by the cultural insensitivity of others? Or go to a place that knows how to pour a Guinness right and listen to some "Black Velvet Band" and laugh our balls off? Even to the point where we're doing "Irish Yoga"? So with all due respect to Seamus Boyle and the AOH'ers, if you're getting all upset about some goofy t-shirts, you're missing the whole point of being Irish. @JerryThornton1

Cedar Rapids Man Convicted Of Possession Of A Handgun After Having Been Convicted Of Eight Prior Felonies
Contact: Peter Deegan
A man who possessed a firearm after having been convicted of eight prior felonies was convicted by a jury today after a one-day trial in federal court in Cedar Rapids.
Maurice Jones, age 44, from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, was convicted of one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm. The verdict was returned this afternoon following about two and one half hours of jury deliberations.
The evidence at trial showed that just after midnight on the morning of October 26, 2010, officers responded to a report of shots fired in the 1400 block of 4th Ave SE in Cedar Rapids. Officers went to a house which was believed to be the location of the gunfire where there was a large group of people on the porch. During a search of the porch, officers found a loaded 9mm Ruger handgun. In an interview a couple of days later, Jones admitted to officers that he possessed the gun and hid it on the porch when officers arrived. Jones had previously been convicted of eight felony offenses in Cook County, Illinois, specifically: burglary in 1986; possession with intent to deliver cocaine in 1988 and 1998; robbery and armed robbery in 1993; possession of heroin in 1998 and 2002; and possession with intent to deliver marijuana in 2003. After moving to Iowa in 2004, Jones was convicted four times in Linn County Iowa District Court of assault.
Sentencing before United States District Court Chief Judge Linda R. Reade will be set after a presentence report is prepared. Jones remains in custody of the United States Marshal pending sentencing. Jones faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years' imprisonment and a possible maximum sentence of life imprisonment, a $250,000 fine, $100 in special assessments, and 5 years of supervised release following any imprisonment.
This case is being prosecuted as part of Project Safe Neighborhoods, a cooperative local, state and federal program aimed at the enhanced prosecution of gun crimes.

Instructors: Emily Wu & Lindsey Dean
T R | 9:25-12:05 PM - How do define being human across cultural, historical, religious, and philosophical divides? In this colloquium, we will approach the question of "What is Human?" from the perspectives of Philosophy and Religious Studies. In the Philosophy component, we frame the philosophical discourses around the meaning and implications of being human within the scope of evolutionary theory and ethics. In the Religious Studies component, we will seek inspirations across cultural and religious traditions to look for wisdoms and inspirations to help us define human-hood. Through service-learning, students will be encouraged to broaden their existing understandings and expectations of their participation in the world as members of the human society, whether as members of family unit, ethnic and lineage affiliations, institutional organizations, or local communities, or as a citizen of this nation and the global society.
Instructors: Lynn Sondag & Julia van der Ryn
ART: Imagination for Change: Art Education and the Creation of Rewarding Relationships
M W | 3:05-4:20 PM - In this course, students will engage in art projects designed to reveal and celebrate our diverse, collective civic voice. Through service-learning pedagogy, students will explore the positive impact of art education, mentorship, and community collaboration.
PHIL: Thinking for Change: Philosophy in the Streets, Schools, & Public Life
M W | 4:30-5:45 PM -This course will explore the relationship between access to a dynamic education and a living democracy in which all people are able to participate, question, challenge, and experience both the rights and the responsibilities inherent in a free society.
Instructors: Bonnie Howe & Laura Stivers
CLQ 3280: Poverty in the Bible - T R | 10:50-12:05 PM - This course focuses on wealth and poverty, belonging and homelessness in the biblical narratives. Students will learn about socio-cultural study of the Bible, and explore how readings can inform praxis, as we engage in service among the poor and homeless.
CLQ 3281: Justice and A Common Good - T R | 1:40-2:55 PM - This course focuses on philosophical understandings of justice and different world views/ frameworks for understanding inequality, poverty, and homelessness. Through service-learning placements addressing homelessness, students will learn to view inequality and poverty from the standpoint of the margins with a goal of promoting social justice and a common good.
Instructor: Caroline Hanssen (for more info on this course click here)
Sec 2: M W | 12:15-1:30 PM / Sec 3: M W | 1:40-2:55 PM -The only one of its kind currently offered at Dominican, this composition course will provide you with a unique opportunity to improve your writing skills for college while helping local high school students prepare themselves for their futures.
Literacy is inextricably linked with power in America today, so individuals who can master verbal information have greater access to political influence, social status, intellectual potential, and vocational prosperity. However, public education does not prepare all students equally, and many youths exit high school with low literacy skills that keep them on the margins into adulthood. Service-learning will be used as one of the principal methods for achieving the learning outcomes of this course in partnership with Marin County Community School in San Rafael.
Instructor: Bonnie Howe
F | 9:25-12:05 PM - An introduction to ethical theory in Western philosophy followed by an investigation of contemporary ethical problems drawn from the field of health care, e.g., scarce resource allotment, genetic intervention, control, and research, dilemmas in nursing, medical paternalism, AIDS issues, reproductive control, abortion, euthanasia.
Our work this semester will focus on the social policy and community dimensions of health care ethics. The ANA Code of Ethics begins with a list of the nurse's ethical duties that includes the following: "The nurse collaborates with other health professionals and the public in promoting community, national and international efforts to meet health needs," and "the profession of nursing . . . is responsible for articulating nursing values, for maintaining the integrity of the profession and its practice and for shaping social policy."
This course is designed to offer you practice in collaborating with others to promote community health, to open up the social policy dimensions of health care, and to ground you in basic philosophical and medical ethics concepts. Ethics needs praxis to even locate and formulate its key questions. That is why the central "text" of this ethics course is praxis – practical experience of service with community partners. The work of ethics does not stop with praxis, however; ethics moves on to organized practical reasoning and reflection, and to dialogue.
Instructor: Cynthia Taylor
R | 1:40-4:20 PM - For two thousand years, Christianity has been both a force for change and liberation, and for domination and oppression. This course focuses on the former – liberation – as Christian theological movements from the 1950s to the 1980s have combined biblical teachings with social scientific analysis not only to bring about social justice in modern societies but to challenge Christianity's more oppressive characteristics. Throughout the semester, students will examine several key theological texts that emerged from social movements in Latin American and the United States of this period, and usually identified as Liberation Theology, Black Theology and Feminist Theologies.
Social justice is the crux of all liberation theologies. Our understanding of the intersection between theology and social justice will be deepened through a 25-hour community service component. Service-learning is a structured learning experience that combines community service with academic reflection. Students engaged in service-learning provide community service in response to community-identified concerns and learn about the context in which service is provided, the connection between their service and their academic coursework, and their roles as citizens. Through service-learning, which in this class will be called our Social Justice Project, the student can ascertain how theological knowledge assists him/her in their "praxis situation," – a term used in liberation theologies to describe the tension between reflection and action.
Instructor: Giulia Welch
T | 3:05-5:45 PM - This course introduces the study of leadership theories from the perspectives of individuals, organizations and society, in the context of socially responsible leadership. In the context of global cultural diversity, issues include an understanding and applying of key leadership skills, teams and coaching, building constructive coalitions, facilitative leadership, followership, decision-making, leading and planning for social and organizational transformation, conflict resolution and negotiation, corporate social responsibility and leadership ethics.
Instructor: Julia van der Ryn
T | 3:05-5:45 PM - This course examines traditional and contemporary movements in ethical theory regarding questions of selfhood, authentic relation to others, and ethical action. We will delve into a range of philosophical thought in this exploration the connection between ethics, personal autonomy and sense of meaning, and our responsibility to and interdependence on others.
Our understanding of key themes will be deepened through a 25-hour service component that allows for active cultivation and expression of core values in the local community. Service is an integral part of this course as it allows us to bridge theory to practice within an academic context that supports and deepens our understanding of this experience through relevant texts, discussion, and reflection. Students will chose to work with an established community partner with a focus that will also add an enriching experience to their academic major.

Throughout the 2012 campaign, dozens of reporters and advocates kept a close eye on the flood of outside money that poured into the contest, most often from wealthy conservative donors. They tracked where it was coming from, how it was being spent, and who it was benefiting.
And Wednesday morning, after a string of losses for Republicans backed heavily by super PACs and nonprofits, they started to ask a surprising question: Did all that money make a difference?
A handy Center for Public Integrity chart listing candidate and outside spending in key races shows why that question was on many minds. In the battles for the White House and Senate, Democrats repeatedly triumphed, even where they faced significant disadvantages in third-party spending. (In some of those cases, including the presidential campaign, Democrats did enjoy an edge in candidate spending, so total dollars were roughly even.) In the House the results are more mixed, but even there an outside money edge is not clearly correlated with victory.
And a return on investment scorecard from the Sunlight Foundation finds that several of the biggest super PACs and nonprofit groups achieved their desired outcomes only a tiny fraction of the time. According to Sunlight, 1.29 percent of the more than $100 million spent by Karl Rove's American Crossroads group helped lead to the desired outcome. The Chamber of Commerce's return on investment was 5.34 percent. For one of the National Rifle Association's funds, the rate was a paltry 0.79 percent.
In the face of these results, The Washington Post came out of the gate with a strong conclusion:
Record spending by independent groups largely defined how the 2012 elections were fought, but the money had no dis¬cern¬ible impact on the outcome of most contests, according to an early analysis of ballot results and expenditures by The Washington Post.
Examining outcomes from the presidential, Senate and House races, reporters Dan Eggen and T. W. Farnam concluded that "GOP outside money groups struck out repeatedly" and that "outside money was the dog that barked but did not bite." Eggen and Farnam write that while outside money changed the character of many races and forced even more fundraising by candidates, it failed to sway the results.
Other leading newspapers quickly made similar observations. The Wall Street Journal's Brody Mullins surveyed the landscape of GOP losses and found that "the results of the most recent election contests suggest money matters most when it is the hands of candidates themselves, rather than the outside political entities supporting their campaign." (CJR's Walter Shapiro has pointed to one reason that might be the case.) The New York Times's Nicholas Confessore noted that "the prizes most sought by the emerging class of megadonors remained outside their grasp." And Politico's Kenneth Vogel wrote a story headlined "The Billion Dollar Bust?" that described the reactions of super-donors to the election's disappointing results.
Elsewhere at its site, the Center for Public Integrity examined the fate of candidates backed most heavily by leading super-donors in greater detail. The rundown shows that the biggest expenditures by super-donors were consistently losing bets, particularly for top Republican contributor Sheldon Adelson. (An analysis of Adelson's contributions by Mother Jones that was not limited to candidate-specific super PACs shows more mixed results.)
"Money can't buy happiness, nor can it buy an election, apparently," write CPI's Rachael Marcus and John Dunbar.
In his own contribution to the fast-growing "super PACs are overrated" literature, Slate's David Weigel offered an explanation for the struggles of the conservative outside groups, based on a closer look at their efforts in Ohio. "Their ads were stupid," Weigel declared.
In September, I criticized a Wall Street Journal story for concluding that super PAC spending was ineffective based on the polls in states where conservative outside groups had gone on the air. Now the latest polls are the final results, and most of the outside money ended up picking losers.
However, it still seems premature to write off outside money as ineffective. The fact that many of the candidates backed by third party cash lost their races does not mean that the money had no effect. Or, as Grist's Dave Roberts put it on Twitter: "Leery of this gathering CW that right-wing SuperPAC money was 'wasted.' We don't know what election would have looked like w/out it." If earlier worries that outside money would run roughshod over democracy were sometimes overstated, the media should also guard against a too-quick consensus that the outside cash was futile.

Paymo says: "Hello World"
Greetings! This is my first post here on the official Paymo Blog, so i'd like to share with you a couple of things about the people behind the service.
We started back in the day as freelancers in the web world, and like many of our current users, we struggled to get some jobs and get payed.
Over the years, we managed to grow the business and created a web design studio.
While working for clients, we noticed the same pattern over and over again: we worked for more hours than we were paid. This had to stop, and along the way we introduced all kinds of project management tools into our work flow, but one final piece was missing, an easy to use time tracking tool.
It had to fulfill the following requirements:
- it had to web based
- we needed a desktop app, so employees would work easily with it, without having a browser window open
- it had to work on a MAC, since we have PCs and Apple stuff in the office
- reporting had to be a breeze
- it had to show us who was underperforming
Thus, the search for a tool capable of doing all these things began, and after a while (this was in 2006) there were not too many options left to choose from. We were stuck with a windows desktop app, but after using it for a couple of months we decided to build Paymo.
When we finished working on Paymo, we decided to release a public version. Paymo free was born, and it was our way of thanking all the freeware and open source community for the great software that's out there and helps small businesses grow.
In the future we'll be releasing a premium version that will allow larger organization to track time and manage their employees better.
Right now we're still in BETA, so you might encounter small bugs and glitches while using Paymo, and we'd like to encourage you to report any bugs you might find.
To all our current users out there, we thank you for the great feedback. Make sure you check the blog for new announcements and important messages.
Guys, it's a great app. I've been using it for a couple of days and everything works well. Thanks!
Hello, liking it so far, it has some nice features of a CRM and CMS. Please think about increasing the free users to at least 50+, to be comparable with free packages like Google Apps or others
very nice plication, I love it. but the idea of having it under our google apps is just mind blowing. i think it would be a huge exposure for paymo as well.

People should not be altering the patches, or any file for that matter, even to add comments. This negates the effect of the md5sums. The md5sums being available from a know and trusted source makes it possible to confirm that A) your download was not corrupt and b) the file has not been tampered with.

My current emotions feature somewhere on the spectrum between somewhat amused and slightly horrified because I've just read an article about a Chinese gamer who hasn't left his house in 6 years because he's busy being a very srs online gamer. In all honesty, I don't see anything wrong with this, because clearly this guy understands the level of commitment required if you really want to win. JOKES, that's incredibly tactless. The story of 27-year-old Xiao Jiang is actually a sad one.
Xiao Jiang took this way too seriously.
According to Kotaku.com, Xiao's father Ye Yuming weaves a twisted tale of his son's obsession. He quit his job without warning and bought a computer in 2007. He hasn't done anything substansial aside from game ever since. I know that sounds like an ideal life, but really, it's not. Xiao started sleeping all day and gaming all night. He lived like a vampire, except with less blood-drinking. He started skipping meals and stopped showering for days at a time and if you've ever been to a LAN you know that gamer-stank is not a good thing. His obsession reached a climax as he began to cut off communication with his family.
When the news broke about Xiao's 6 year stint of hermitising, reporters visited his house in Hangzou. The gamer was clearly very reluctant to communicate with either his father or said journalists and when they attempted to enter his bedroom, he grabbed a knife. Some experts are saying that this level of paranoia is something not normally associated with gaming addiction and thus may be indicative of another psychological condition. Either way, this is a sad story of a troubled young man who I hope manages to find help.

Of course, we don't know how much you, Mr. Chief, had imbibed. On the radio, you said something about vodka, but you didn't return two calls seeking details. "He has a fair complexion," Carey says. "He totally had a gin blossom going on red nose and red cheeks. He wasn't slurring his words, but the chief likes to party. I've seen him out a lot."
One mystery is that Calzadilla contends he was with you all night, while both journalists claim the assistant who acknowledges downing two and a half vodka-and-cranberry drinks wasn't there when you made the statement. Calzadilla, whom I've known for years, is a stand-up guy.
So who has a motivation to lie? Well, as for Calzadilla's contradictory comment, who signs his paycheck? And you manage a police force that is substantially Cuban American in a town where folks from the island are the most powerful minority. With City Manager Joe Arriola likely on his way out, you would have been a logical candidate for the job ... that is, until your improbably colorful comment.
The editors, on the other hand, had nothing to gain. "Anyone who knows my work knows city politics isn't my thing," Carey says. Ditto for Oberkreser. She was at the St. Regis to see old friends.
Comments Commissioner Tomas Regalado: "Do I believe [Timoney] said, öFuck the Cubans?' I don't know, but he does love to say bad words."
One person who doesn't believe you is Enrique Santos, the El Zol radio host who took your phone call February 17. Santos, who ran for mayor against Diaz, says you hemmed and hawed during the conversation. "He didn't convince me," Santos states. "If he didn't say it, then he would have demanded a retraction or an apology from New Times. He hasn't done that."
Adds the Hispanic Officers' Gutierrez: "If he feels this way, that's fine, but don't put it out in public.... Now I would expect the city manager to take action."
Staff writer Francisco Alvarado reported for this column
Rolando Gutierrez, Jr., president of the Miami Police Hispanic Officers Association, penned this letter to New Times:
On Thursday, February 16, 2006, "The Bitch" reported that City of Miami Police Chief John F. Timoney was asked "whether his job is more politics than policing." He allegedly responded, "I was police chief in New York and in Philadelphia, and then I come down here, and it's all about Cuban politics.... Fuck the Cubans! I've got a job to do!"
I am a Cuban-born American citizen who has lived in Miami since 1967 and has more than 24 years in the Miami Police Department, which is composed of 83.8 percent minorities including 54.7 percent Hispanic officers mostly of Cuban descent. I, along with many colleagues, find his statement, if in fact true, to be horribly offensive, tasteless, and nothing but mean-spirited. It is unacceptable from someone in his position. If it's true, I expect our city manager to relieve Chief Timoney and to find a suitable replacement soon thereafter. This would send a very strong message not just to the chief but also to anyone in a position of power in local government that comments such as this one will not be tolerated whether they are directed toward the Cuban community or any other group.
As president of the Miami Police Hispanic Officers Association, I ask Chief Timoney to take the proper measures to clear his name and reputation. He has done well to publicly deny making the statement (along with his executive assistant Angel Calzadilla), but this is only the beginning.
He should leave no stone unturned. At minimum, I would expect a full and unconditional retraction of the statement from New Times along with a very strong apology to both the chief of police and the Cuban community.

I just ran my first two sessions as GM and we are probably going to be adding a 4th player to the group soon (making 5 of us total). I'm trying to thing of a good premise for the party to meet the new character and be joined by them and not just have the new character appear into their midst all of a sudden as if they were there the whole time. I'm going to let the new player make their back-story and then try to find a good way for them to get mixed in to the adventure. The stereotypical situation where the party finds the new player being attacked by goblins and the new player pledges to join them after being rescued would work, but I'm looking for something a bit more than that.
Are there any good guidelines/examples for adding a new player to the party story-wise? How can I make the meeting of the new character and the party a momentous occasion instead of just a "Hey, wanna join us?" situation? What good twists can the addition of the new character provide to help in this respect?
NOTE: Examples are wonderful and highly welcome, but please also mention the process of creating the storyline so this is more than just an "accumulate a list" question. :D
Related: What are some good stories for how the players came to start adventuring together?
