Originally hailing from British Columbia, Canada, Powell Peralta pro Jordan Hoffart has spent the past several years living in the San Diego area. Recently, after taking inspiration from Pontus Alv's "In Search of The Miraculous" video, Hoffart bought a house in San Diego and began renovating his new purchase into a skate-able work of art, complete with indoor volcanoes, bowled corners and what Hoffart says are the sort of things skateboarding kids dreamed about while they were growing up.
Last month, we caught up with Hoffart to discuss the home renovations, the accompanying video project and every other little project he has in the works.
ESPN.com: Congrats on buying a house in San Diego.
Hoffart: Thank you.
I hear you are turning your newly purchased house into a skatepark?
I wouldn't say a skatepark. But I'm doing some "renovations" that every kid dreamed about doing when they grew up.
How are you coming up with the designs?
It's a combination of concepts from Josh Hawkins and I. We throw around ideas and see what works best. So far, every plan has evolved into something better when we actually start forming the structures.
Who's helping you construct the project?
Josh and I brought in Kyle Berard to help out. He rips at this sort of thing. Actually he just rips period. Josh is a wizard too. Two talented, hardworking dudes. We're the foot clan, building a shredder's lair.
Will you be charging admission?
That's not a bad idea considering the money I've been dropping but no, it's built to have fun with the homies. I'm guessing eventually it's gotta be controlled to some degree. I'm not about to lose everything we've been working for, because some kid heard from his homie that I got the goods, and breaks his arm in my driveway. I'm not taking any chances. If I don't know you, it's safe to say you're not welcome on my property.
I have heard about a video you are making about your house. What's it all about and who's making it?
It's my own video and concept, I kind of took it from Pontus Alv and his video "In Search of The Miraculous," where he builds that skate spot on the pathway beside the train tracks. It's such a rad idea to make a film around it. I'm following suit. He inspired me to make my dreams come alive, so hopefully I can keep the inspiration flowing to others. Basically we are filming and time lapsing the plans, and then inviting (teams) of fellow shredders to come, stay and film. The footage will be condensed into a series of montages accompanied by full street parts from Josh and I, perhaps from others as well. I'm super hyped on making this something new and exciting that kids can feed off of.
What's not allowed at your house, skatepark or in the movie?
Randoms, bad attitudes, thieves, disrespect, rollerbladers, razor scooters, foreign cameras, video poachers. That's just off the top of my head.
Are you able or wanting to have a contest at the Hoffart compound?
Nah Nah. It would get too hectic. This is my lazy Sunday shred zone with the homies. Plus it aint really set up like that. We'll see how everything flows when it's done.
You must have cool neighbors?
The coolest. But some are crazy at the same time and are quick to let you know who was there first. It's a neighborhood with a lot of history, some houses (mine included) were built in the 1950s. Gotta show respect to the neighbors holding it down for the last 60 years!
Any skate celebrities in your neighborhood? Somehow I have about six on my block.
None that I know of. Bob Burnquist lives down the street about 5 minutes though, oh and I bump into Slash's mom around the hood for sure.
Is Powell working on a follow up to "Fun"?
Yup, condensed into a promo version. Since every kid has ADD and can't sit down for more than ten minutes. You know how it goes. It should be out by September, Ooctober. "Rip The Ripper" is the name I've heard being thrown around some. Some super gnarly footage is coming your way for sure though. I've seen some clips already. They definitely ain't messing around, my knees are weary.
Any new team additions going down over at Powell?
Yup, We just enrolled Brad McClain. Welcome aboard mate! He's a monster on wheels. Straight BOWSE on tranny. We got some other pros in the works. Keep your eyes open for some new heavy hitters up on the roaster real soon.
Are you too young to know how awesome the Bones Brigade documentary was?
Nah Nah Mike. I got the Powell Peralta box set at home. That was a requirement when I got on the team. I'm sharp as nails on my Bones Brigade history. That documentary was unreal. Everyone must go see it. Respect to the original skateboarding. "Bricklayers" as Kalis would say.
Is Josh Hawkins turning pro after his "Happy Medium 2" part response?
In my eyes he should have been pro a long time ago. He's one of the most talented dudes I've ever met, period. A true professional at life. It's just a matter of months before he gets what's coming to him. Best believe that.
What else are you working on in 2012?
You name it. I'm juggling a full plate these days: entire house renovation, Powell Peralta promo, Bones video, my own home video project, Trying to wrap up a interview for The Skateboard Mag with Bart Jones. Definitely stoked for that. Oh and I'm working on a special little video project with Cameron Sanchez and 900 films for the RIDE channel which should be out in the next couple of months. So be on the look out for that. It could turn into something substantial.
Who's the first person you would want to personally invite over to skate you new skate house?
Aside from Berard and Hawkins, it'll have to be the Powell Peralta dudes for sure. If not anything else, but out of respect alone. These guys opened a lot of opportunities for me to be able to do what I'm doing. In fact I can say I owe it to them that I'm even living in California and skateboarding for a living! Praises. It would be nice to be able to share the first moments of our creation with all those dudes, I appreciate everything they have done for me.

Loving the light in this Calgary boudoir photography session…and those killer curves! Damn girl! Here's what Miss J had to say:
"My husband really loved the photo book! Thanks so much for everything. It was a great experience :)"
Absolutely LOVE this beautiful boudoir session with miss J from a few months ago. The light near the end was totally dreamy!
Our fall calendar is filling up! If you're interested in doing a boudoir session with us, please get in touch through our contact form for more information.
We are so excited to be able to share this absolutely GORGEOUS boudoir photography session in our Vancouver studio. Miss H booked a full day editorial style shoot with us (contact us for all of our package options) and we had fun shooting a couple of different looks, Going from sweet to seductive is so much fun!
Thank you H for booking your pre-wedding boudoir shoot with us, and for allowing us to share some of your STUNNING boudoir images!
"A boudoir shoot is one of the most powerful, liberating and sensual things you can do as a woman. If you have secretly been considering doing something like this then do it! You are in the very best hands with Jennifer. From start to finish this was an experience I will never forget (and now neither will my husband *wink). Both Jen and Kelly set me at ease and guided me through the entire process. I felt beautiful, elegant, glamorous and confident. I felt like a woman."
Thank you S for booking your pre-wedding boudoir shoot with us, and for allowing us to share some of your anonymous boudoir images!
Just DO IT! It is an amazing confidence booster. All those beautiful poses you see on the website can be you. Jennifer choreographs and talks you through every step of the process so there is no worry about knowing how to pose.Miss J
It was just a great experience all round. I love your philosophy of women being comfortable in the body they occupy and to celebrate that journey.Miss J
It was fun and the photos turned out great! I would definitely recommend it to anyone thinking of doing a boudoir shoot! The whole experience was very liberating and also a great confidence booster!Miss R
I am so glad that I had the experience. This is something that a woman can do for herself to not only create fantastic memories, but also to boost her confidence. My shoot was on a Saturday, and I honestly felt "FABULOUS" all weekend. Still do!!Miss M
The photo shoot was fantastic! You made me feel so comfortable and at ease that my worries left me! I would tell anyone considering a boudoir shoot with you to go for it – they will not regret it! Jen and Kelly make you feel a part of the group and make you look amazing!Miss H
It is a fabulous experience, I would recommend it to anyone. Jennifer put me at ease the day we first met and was really fun to work with during the shoot. Any nervousness or doubt was quickly wiped away the moment I set foot in the studio; everyone was so welcoming.Miss E
I feel so happy that I have done this! It was a great feeling when I was done! I'm so happy for such a good experience with you and Kelly: you both did an amazing job. I felt really beautiful, like a Victoria's Secret model. I would recommend this to someone considering doing boudoir shoot!Miss R
It was sooooo much fun, actually the most fun I've had doing something I don't usually do. It truly was a blast and Jennifer is so amazing and you feel so comfortable you don't even realize your standing in your underwear!Miss M
There is no one else I would have hired, your work was so far above and beyond anyone else's. You have this way of making this inner beauty shine through in all of your subjects. And of course your use of light and posing is spectacular, especially with plus-sized women like me.Miss A
I really appreciated all the direction and coaching, it really helped. Kelly is seriously amazing too! Most people are always nervous getting their hair and make up done but when I looked in the mirror, I felt pretty amazing, so that really helped set the mood for the shoot.Miss A

Gunman Kills 27, Including 18 Children: Reports (Update 1)
Updated from 2:40 p.m. ET with remarks from President Obama
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- A gunman opened fire on Friday inside a Connecticut elementary school, killing 27 people, including 18 children, an official has told The Associated Press.
CNN identified the suspected shooter as Ryan Lanza, a 20-year-old man, who is reported as dead inside Sandy Hook Elementary School.
"It's just a bad situation," Newtown Assistant Fire Chief Kevin Stoyak told CBS 2 in Connecticut.
President Barack Obama emerged Friday afternoon to address the shooting. "Our hearts are broken today," Obama said, apparently tearing up. "I know there's not a parent in America who doesn't feel the same overwhelming grief that I do." The White House released a proclamation signed by the president to honor the victims of the shooting. He ordered flags to be flown at half-staff until Dec. 18. The shooting comes five months after suspect James Eagan Holmes opened fire in a movie theater in Aurora, Colo., killing 12 people and injuring 58 more. White House Press Secretary Jay Carney did acknowledge that Homeland Security Adviser John Brennan informed President Barack Obama of the shooting at 10:30 a.m. ET. Carney demurred, however, on discussing possible new gun control legislation. "I think that day will come, but today's not that day, especially as we are awaiting more information about the situation," Carney said. -- Written by Joe Deaux in New York. >Contact by Email.

Marco Polo - Fame for President
Artist: Marco Polo
Featuring: Lil' Fame
Producer: Marco Polo
Album: Newport Authority 2
Avg Rating: 3.3 ( 4 votes )
Discussions are already well underway regarding who will succeed Barack Obama in 2016, but thus far none of the names floated thus far—including Vice President Joe Biden and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton—seem apt to electrify the nation like our Commander in Chief did in '08. On the latest single off his forthcoming pre-album mixtape, Marco Polo makes a somewhat more audacious proposal, asking the Democratic Party brass to consider running M.O.P.'s own Lil Fame for President. The headliner's gritty, sampled boardwork bangs in the back as the Brownsville vet gives us a foretaste of life under the Jamal Grinnage administration, addressing the nation in characteristically aggressive, high-energy verses. Fans will be able to find this joint, along with previous single Back to Work and many more quality jams, on Newport Authority 2, dropping soon as a precursor to the spring release of Polo's Port Authority 2 LP.

Biker "gang" Attacks Prius.. (Yes, The Same Group!)
Submitted by barracuda_trader on Sat, 10/05/2013 - 19:05Street FX Motorsport & Graphics
We have all no doubt seen the Range Rover episode that we posted a few days back (here: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=164712113732707&set=vb....
What the bikers DIDN'T want you to see, is that they make a habit of these deliberate intimidation techniques year after year. Here is some footage that the original poster had boasted about on his youtube account, and then when shit hit the fan, subsequently removed (no doubt to try make their case as 'innocent enthusiasts' look more legitimate).. While I certainly feel for the guy that got ran over (if it is indeed true that all he was doing was "helping the fallen rider"), however in light of these new videos coming to surface, it would definitely NOT seem like the kind of crowd I would want ANYTHING to do with...

Here is the video. The Prius isn't at fault.
Notice the bikers reach the Prius while running a red light. The Prius was entering the intersection when the Prius driver had a green light. You will also see what type of douchebags these bikers are. Running red lights, speeding, passing on double yellow lines, riding wrong way into oncoming traffic, riding on sidewalks, damaging property, obstructing traffic, and harassing people. I feel sorry that one of them was paralyzed, but I am surprised that more of them haven't been run over.

The bike gang's days are over. Now that this has hit the fan, more people will be protecting their families when these morons try to intimidate others. It will take several more "injuries" but they will eventually learn that they are way too small to be pulling that scheit. Every car on the road has them outweighed and if they continue to intimidate more people are going to be ready to knock a few of them down in the future... Cops or not, they don't stand a chance against a car.

No matter how egregious ....
No matter how egregious the actions of this group or any group of motorcyclist is,you are are stereotyping and smearing ALL motorcycle riders by that title. By using the term "Biker Gang" you are doing exactly what many of us here have complained about many times that the MSM does over and over. You are not reporting the news, you are becoming part of the news and misrepresenting it with your own bias. You can see how dangerous, annoying and inflammatory that is when the liberal, progressive media misrepresents a story about Ron Paul or libertarians. Why can't you see it now? You are putting all motorcyclist in danger. I am calling you out on it and I am surprised and disappointed that so many people here have remained silent. It reminds me of that story about...
"First they came for the Jews ... and we know how that ended. Come on people! We the people are better than that and need to be if we are to be representative of our true values.

The term "biker gang"...
The term "biker gang" is inflammatory and is stereotyping any group of motorcyclist to the bad actors of the B grade 70s or 80s Biker movies.
It groups all motorcycle groups as one. The term "Gang" is just a shortened version of "Outlaw biker gang" in most peoples minds because of this. So people automatically assume because you are in a "Biker Gang" you must be a criminal and committing crimes. Most people will call any group of motorcyclists a biker gang, even if they are riding mopeds or full dressed Goldwings. If you rode a bike on the street for any real length of time you would know this and I would not have to explain it to you. Good luck with your cat and dog gangs,I just hope they don't start riding motorcycles or we will all be in trouble.They could name their "outlaw biker gang" the "Bad Cats" or the "Big Dogs" Thanks for the laugh.

put down the crack pipe.
I am a biker and I in no way see how calling this what is, a biker gang in anyway shape or form stereotyping motorcyclist in general. The OP is talking about a specific group of people, this "gang" of thugs who happen to be bikers so the term "biker gang" is wholeheartedly appropriate. By the whole flawed logic of your argument, if I were to refer to some individuals who are of African descent, from the inner city, who happens to be a part of an organization that carries out violent acts, "gang bangers" that would somehow magically apply to all people who live in the inner city and are of African descent. Totally absurd. which is why you are the only one making a stink out of nothing.

I already see...
I already see on other sites and unrelated to this incident that people are making comments. The comments basically encourage some form of running over motorcyclist as legitimate and allows vigilante justice for any infraction that they perceive that any motorcyclist has made. This objectifies and dehumanize all motorcyclist in the eyes of many car drivers. That makes every motorcyclist an acceptable target. It is bad enough with people on cell phones and making left hand turns in front of motorcyclist to add that they are now fair game to run over at the whim of any car driver. I have attended too many biker funerals already in my life. This will only add more lives lost and more funerals. One of those could be yours or mine, think about it.

For a crumble with a difference, make good use of seasonal fruit and bake Nigel Slater's scrumptious pudding
1. Crush the biscuits. Mix with the melted butter and tip into a 20-22cm loose-bottomed tart tin or shallow cake tin. Press the warm, wet crumbs down with your hand to form a base, then put in the fridge.2. Mix the curd cheese, beaten eggs, lemon zest and half the sugar with a hand-held electric mixer. It should be thick and creamy. Put the tart tin on a baking sheet. Pour the filling into the crust and bake in an oven preheated to 180°C/Gas 4 for forty to forty-five minutes or until almost set.
3. Put the prepared fruit in a pan with the remaining sugar, a tablespoon of water, and simmer until the blackcurrants just start to burst. Set aside to cool. For the topping, whizz the flour, butter and sugar in a food processor until they resemble crumbs.
4. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool slightly. Lift the fruit from its juice with a draining spoon and spoon over the top of the cheesecake. Pour over a tablespoon of the juice, then chill the rest.
5. Scatter the crumble mixture over the fruit and return the cheesecake to the oven for twenty to twenty-five minutes or until the crumble is starting to colour. Remove from the oven and leave in a cool place. Serve the cheesecake with the juices from the fruits.

having the exact problem but there is no help in any forums with nissan quest. Have had 6 nissans so far and after the Quest have had all my family and friends stay away from Nissan. The manifold would not budge. I think Ford used some sort of paste with the lower manifold gaskets. Had four mechanics tried to take the lower intake manifold from the head and no results. This is the problem when Ford gets involved with anything. All eight bolts that secure the lower intake from the head are out and would not budge. Lifting the manifold also lifts the vehicle completely. I don't think that the gasket would fuse that much to the head that it would not give way.

There is a bolt that goes through the timing cover into the lower intake manifold

Thanks for the reply. Just went out and looked at it 12.00a.m. Happy New Year!!! There is only one huge bolt just above the water pump that attaches to the cylinder head which is below where the cylinder head separates from the lower manifold. I also had other mechanics tried to take it off with no results. One tech online refers that due to overheating and poor antifreeze will cause rust and thus cause it to seize. He advises to take a 2 x 4 and hammer onto the wood to make it release. I'm trying to get to the inner thermostat housing which lies under the lower manifold and attaches to the two water pipes. By the way, looking from the top of the timing cover area, all is clear with no bolts around. Been trying for 2 1/2 weeks soaking these lower intake bolts with pb balster, liquid wrench and wd 40 to no end.
Please note that from day one I've personally driven this vehicle with 81K miles now and has never had any heating problems and coolant was changed every two years; until the original thermostat only gave heat at 2K rpm. Careful look at the thermostat (original) identified the problem in that a piece of silicone gasket got stuck in the thermostat not allowing it to close properly.

This is the only bolt that was not taken out due to the fact that it is bolted into the cyl head below the lower intake. The inlet pipe was already taken off and the whole area is completely cleared of any bolts or screws. To be more precise, it secures the pulley bracket onto the cyl. Last edited by mahendra purai; 01-01-2012 at 08:12 AM. |
there should be no way that the manifold cannot separate from the head. Just tried again and nothing. Could be that the gasket was attached with some sort of paste??
thanks guy - have been hitting this thing for two and a half weeks now. Soaking with different rust free agents and even used a rubber mallet (destroyed three mallets so far); have used a piece of 2 x 4 and hammered with short sledge with no results. What I always noticed is that there is always water filled in the spark plugs area when it rains. I just noticed a pool of water logged in the area of the knock sensor above the block. Is this usual?
Finally got the lower intake manifold out today. Drilled two holes around the studs from where the manifold is supposed to lift. Soaked with pb blaster and with another help got it loosened. While drilling, found that all the debris coming out were of a material that resembles grey plastic. So I guess Ford/Nissan used some sort of epoxy when dropping the manifold onto the cylinder heads.

Return Visit Not the Same as the First
Posted Feb 21, 2015Pros: The full kitchen in the suite with an icemaker.
Cons: Major renovation and whoever is in charge of cleaning the tub jets should be replaced.
The suites that are on floors ten and below are marred by extreme street noise. When asked to move to a higher floor, the request was honored but hours later. The hotel needs a major renovation. The bathrooms are very outdated. The tub had water jets that were full of dirt that blasted all over the water and tub. This was incredibly disgusting. A prior visit had been much better but the housekeeping standards have declined as has the helpfulness of the staff. I would not stay here again.

Nice hotel terrible staff
Posted Jan 9, 2015The hotel was nice and was in a good location to walk to shows. The staff, however was terrible. We had to ask twice for our refrigerator to be stocked and they still didn't do it. Response times for room service items was painfully slow for a hotel of this calibre.

Excellent location within NYC
Posted Jan 6, 2015Pros: The location and the service.
Cons: The decor is dated and particularly the bathroom. Shower should be a power shower.
Location: Right next to central park and the time warner centre and 10 mins walk from 5th avenue - so there are endless ways to amuse yourself.
We stayed at Trump International for 5 nights over New Years Eve 2014-15, and found it to be an excellent hotel overall, but with some niggles. The bathroom decor was very dated and the shower had very low pressure which was disappointing. The tub stopper did not "stop" correctly even after we got it fixed by maintenance. The tv and cable was quite patchy and we had to call maintenance up to fix it the first night and then reset it several times per day after it had been fixed. We had a 1 year old baby with us so tv was more important than it usually was on holiday! The bedside night light also didn't work which was quite irritating. It was very cold (below zero celsius) when we were in NYC and found the room took a long time to warm up which is quite stressful with a cold child. The pool area was lovely but felt it was quite chilly with the baby so it wasn't a pleasant experience. However the service from every staff member was exceptional.

Willow Harris needed someone who was willing to go beyond the law to get her son back. It was a dangerous mission in a foreign land against ruthless kidnappers. Hope was all Willow had...until she found THE EQUALIZERS.
Spencer Anders may have been new to the Equalizers, but he was a proven professional. Specializing in hostage retrieval, Spencer had earned his stripes overseas. Now with Willow in on the mission, anything could happen--things he couldn't control. The only thing Spencer knew for sure: surrender was not an option.

What I'm doing with my life
Don't overthink this one; tell us what you're doing day-to-day.
Aside from working, I ride the motorcycle, spend time with my
Pryncess (she's a dog, but shhhh she doesn't know that), and
sometimes ride my horse who is getting up there in years. I do
volunteer work for MDA and have done 2 medical missions in Peru.
I'm really good at
Go on, brag a little (or a lot). We won't judge.
Making people feel comfortable. I am a very good companion and
mate. I am good at compromising, and I will listen if you want to
talk to me. We may not always agree, but at the end of the day I
can agree to disagree and still love you!
The first things people usually notice about me
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
My legs. That I actually look like my pictures only better. That's
not my opinion, that's what I've been told.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Help your potential matches find common interests.
I'm not big on reading books. I do like to go to the movies and
occasional concert. My favorite food is filet mignon, scallops,
lobster, crab.
The six things I could never do without
Think outside the box. Sometimes the little things can say a lot.
I don't think I could tell you six things I could never do without.
But one thing important to me is finding a companion to enjoy each
other and experience life with. Intimacy is very important to me.
Just as important is maintaining my health, my family and being
financially secure, that doesn't mean rich.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Global warming, lunch, or your next vacation… it's all fair game.
Many things, both serious and not-so-serious. From work issues, to
hobbies, to finding a significant other to share it all with.
On a typical Friday night I am
Netflix and takeout, or getting your party on — how do you let loose?
I don't like going out alone so I am probably playing an on-line
game with my adult children who live in different states. It is a
way to be together when distance keeps us apart.
The most private thing I'm willing to admit
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
You aren't going to see that here. That would be for private
conversations and probably after several dates. I mean really, if I

You should message me if
Offer a few tips to help matches win you over.
Have a profile picture; you do NOT smoke, live within 1/2 hour

Seven Texas Medical Association physician leaders testified before the Senate Finance Committee today. The committee was examining funding for the state's health and human services programs.
Athens family physician Doug Curran, MD, vice chair of TMA's Board of Trustees, testified on behalf of TMA and the Texas Academy of Family Physicians (TAFP). He urged the committee to end a funding cut enacted in 2011 that harmed access to care for thousands of patients dependent on Medicare and Medicaid for their care. These patients are known as "dual eligible." The Texas Health and Human Services Commission stopped paying the Medicare Part B cost-sharing on physician services for dual-eligible patients if what Medicare pays for a service exceeds what Texas Medicaid pays, which is almost always the case. "The cut was a devastating financial blow to any physician who cares for this population, but absolutely catastrophic to those practices in border, rural, or inner-city communities where higher numbers of dual-eligible patients reside," said Dr. Curran.
Edinburg pediatrician Martin Garza, MD, testified on behalf of TMA, the Texas Pediatric Society (TPS), TAFP, and the Federation of Texas Psychiatry. He urged committee members to improve Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) patients' access to needed services by enacting competitive physician payments in these programs. Dr. Garza asked the committee to act boldly by supporting these four TMA priorities:
Dallas psychiatrist Les Secrest, MD, past chair of TMA's Council on Legislation, took the stand on behalf of TMA, TPS, and the Federation of Texas Psychiatry. He asked committee members to support the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) funding requests related to mental health and substance abuse prevention, early intervention, and treatment. "Investing in mental health services ultimately pays for itself through reduced incarceration and emergency department costs," he explained. Dr. Secrest chairs TMA's new Task Force on Behavioral Health.
A member of TMA's Committee on Infectious Disease, Philip Huang, MD, MPH, also testified on behalf of TMA, TPS, and TAFP. He asked committee members to support three important exceptional items in DSHS' budget to improve the health of all Texans. They are (1) continued funding for Texas' tobacco cessation activities such as the DSHS Texas Quitline; (2) additional funds to increase DSHS' capacity to investigate and respond to infectious disease outbreaks; and (3) more funds to support and expand DSHS' community-based projects that promote physical activity and healthy eating to reduce chronic disease, and community projects to help reduce costly preventable hospitalizations. Dr. Huang is the medical director and health authority for the Austin/Travis County Health and Human Services Department.
Janet Realini, MD, MPH, chair of the Texas Women's Healthcare Coalition (TWHC), was on hand to ask lawmakers to support the additional $50 million in funding for women's health care services to ensure women have access to physicians and other health care providers. Dr. Realini explained how Texas' women's health programs currently can serve fewer than three in 10 of the women in need.
Lewis Foxhall, MD, member of TMA's Board of Trustees, was a resource witness for MD Anderson at the Senate Finance Committee today to discuss the importance of the DSHS Quitline. Joel Dunnington, MD, a former member of TMA's Council on Public Health,also was on hand to testify in support of the Quitline.
Register today for First Tuesdays at the Capitol March 3. Join your colleagues at the state Capitol to meet with your state lawmakers. The "White Coat Invasion" has been the key to physicians' successes in the Texas Legislature since the inception of First Tuesdays at the Capitol in 2003. Our influence is greater when physicians and alliance members arrive en masse in the House and Senate galleries.

SOUTHERN OSCILLATION INDEX (SOI)The 3-month average of the Southern Oscillation Index for the 1st Quarter of 2009 was +1.0, with monthly values of +1.2, +1.8 and -0.1 for the months of January, February and March 2009, respectively. March 2009 is the first month since June 2008 to record a negative SOI value, marking a turn from La Niña toward ENSO-neutral conditions. *Note: The SOI is defined as the normalized pressure difference between Tahiti and Darwin, Australia. Normally, positive values of the SOI in excess of +1.0 are associated with La Niña conditions, and negative values of the SOI below –1.0 are associated with El Niño conditions. There are several slight variations in the SOI values calculated at or other sites representative of the western and eastern tropical Pacific, respectively. The historical record of the SOI from 1866 to present was calculated based on the method given by Ropelewski and Jones (1987). The complete table can be found at http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/data/soi.htm. |

Homeland Security: Lone wolves are America's biggest danger
Published: Monday, January 10, 2011 at 8:33 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 10, 2011 at 11:07 p.m.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has been warning for nearly two years that "lone wolves and small terrorist cells embracing violent right-wing extremist ideology are the most dangerous domestic terrorism threat in the United States."
That assessment came in an April 2009 report from the department that is charged with keeping America safe. Some experts said this week that certain talk show hosts, politicians and political pundits are contributing to the problem.
"There is a pressing need to change the tenor of public debate from shouts and slurs to something more reasoned," Richard Cohen, president of the Southern Poverty Law Center based in Montgomery, Ala., wrote Monday in an editorial on the group's website. "The tragedy in Tucson this weekend reminds us that it's a call that politicians and pundits would do well to heed."
A 22-year-old man described as mentally unbalanced shot 14 people, killing six, including a 9-year-old girl and a federal judge, and gravely wounded U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Tucson.
The law center is a nonprofit civil rights organization dedicated to fighting hate and bigotry and to seeking justice for the most vulnerable members of society. The organization actively tracks hate groups and hate speech and is the leading expert on the subject in the U.S.
Cohen specifically mentioned:
-- Sharron Angle, who ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate in Nevada last year, and her talk about using "second amendment remedies" to change the course of this country.
-- The "shameless" FOX News commentator Glenn Beck, who "feeds the lunatic fringe with talk of the government herding Americans into FEMA concentration camps."
-- GOP vice-presidential nominee and political pundit Sarah Palin using phrases such as "don't retreat, reload" and showing pictures during the fall election of crosshairs covering a map of Giffords' district.
"The problem is the incendiary rhetoric, with its violence-laced metaphors, and the spinning of paranoid fantasies," Cohen said. "The problem is the non-stop demonization one hears from political opportunists trolling for votes and their media allies trolling for ratings."
According to The New York Times, Rush Limbaugh said Monday afternoon on his show that seeking to connect the shooting with radio talk shows dominated by conservatives was part of a Democratic strategy.
"It is our right and our duty to criticize the people who have put the fate of our country in peril," Limbaugh said.
Locally, elected and appointed officials say they take measures to keep safe but know they can't stop someone bent on killing.
Alachua County Schools Superintendent Dan Boyd said the School Board decided before he came on board in July 2004 to have a sworn law officer in the board room at each meeting.
"We haven't had any situation where we thought this was necessary," Boyd said. "It could happen to any superintendent anywhere, anytime."
Alachua County Manager Randy Reid said the county has put security measures in place, including evacuation plans, silent alarms and glass doors.
"It's one of those things that's hard to talk about in detail because it defeats the purpose," Reid said. "We do make efforts to secure any meeting and judicial facility."
Uniformed and, occasionally, plainclothes law enforcement officers attend the county's meetings.
In addition to the occasional bomb threat or "mentally diminished person" speaking at meetings, the county also has to deal with issues like any other business, such as firing staff and protecting employees from domestic violence situations.
Ultimately, though, officials simply have to do their jobs.
"Anyone in public service knows that our purpose is to be close to the public," Reid said.
Gainesville Mayor Craig Lowe agrees.
"I think it's just something you realize could happen anywhere," Gainesville Mayor Craig Lowe said. "The focus is on doing my job, and I can't let anything interfere."
History is littered with loners who held fringe beliefs or were insane and attacked or killed U.S. leaders.
-- House painter Richard Lawrence tried to shoot President Andrew Jackson on Jan. 30, 1835. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity and confined to a mental institution.
-- John Wilkes Booth, a confederate sympathizer, shot President Abraham Lincoln on April 14, 1865. He acted alone, but had accomplices to help him escape.
-- Charles Guiteau assassinated President James A Garfield on July 2, 1881. The theologian and lawyer had, according to documents held by The Library of Congress, "decided that God had commanded him to kill" Garfield, whom Guiteau thought he had gotten elected by writing and delivering a speech. Guiteau insisted that he had been legally insane at the time of the shooting.
-- Anarchist and loner Leon Czolgosz assassinated President William McKinley on Sept. 6, 1901.His attorney argued that he was insane at the time of the shooting. Newly-elevated President Theodore Roosevelt said, "When compared with the suppression of anarchy, every other question sinks into insignificance."
-- Saloon-keeper John Schrank shot Theodore Roosevelt on Oct. 13, 1912, as he was preparing to give a speech. Roosevelt gave the speech, saying, "It takes more than one bullet to bring down a Bull Moose." Schrank was found legally insane and institutionalized.
-- Giuseppe Zangara attempted to shoot President-elect Franklin Delano Roosevelt on Feb. 15, 1933, in Miami, but instead killed Chicago Mayor Anton Cermak. Zangara apparently came to believe that President Hoover had caused his recurring physical pain and sought the assassinations of "all capitalist presidents and kings." Before he was executed in Florida's electric chair, Zangara famously said, "Push the button!"
-- Richard Paul Pavlick had started to assassinate President John Kennedy. His had loaded his 1950 Buick with dynamite and had intended to crash his car into the president's while he was vacationing. Pavlick changed his mind when he saw Kennedy with his wife and daughter. He spent six years in federal prisons and mental institutions before being released in 1966.
-- Lee Harvey Oswald was accused of assassinating President John Kennedy on Nov. 22, 1963. The Warren Commission investigated the murder after Oswald was killed and found that he was the lone gunman. The commission concluded that Oswald was a disturbed man, whose radical political views and depression had led him to shoot the President.
-- In recent history, John Hinckley Jr. shot President Reagan on March 30, 1981, to try to gain the attention of actress Jodie Foster.

Closer To FineJack is storming when he gets back from the island. Ianto watches the CCTV from his hiding place in the archives as Jack kicks uselessly at the leg of his desk and collapses into his chair, pouring himself a big drink and pounding a fist on the blotter. Ianto decides to give Jack his privacy and files away reports from the 70s for a while. When things seem calmer, he goes up to the main Hub and makes two extra-strength coffees. He adds a shot of whiskey to Jack's."Yeah, come in." Jack's voice is weary when Ianto knocks tentatively on the doorframe.Ianto sets the tray on Jack's desk and hands him a mug, taking his own and sitting on the chair across the desk.

It's bollocks. What does she know? I had Diane I had her and it wasn't cold and lonely. And you, Tosh, you had Tommy. And Ianto had Lisa. But we all had them. We lost them.

Bill McKinnon, The Sydney Morning Herald, July 7, 2006
This Korean 4WD is making the opposition sit up and take notice, writes BILL McKINNON.
2 Minute road test (See full review)
Prices start at $35,990 for the five seat manual; the seven seat auto is $39,990. As is Hyundai's wont, the Santa Fe is loaded with gear, including 17 inch alloys, an alarm and leather in the $42,990 Elite. A five years/130,000 km warranty sweetens the deal.
The Santa Fe's 2.7 litre V6 doesn't have the power or torque to efficiently shift its 1.8 tonnes. Acceleration is slow, fuel consumption is high, the cruise control is useless on hills and the four speed auto works overtime to keep the plot rolling. At least it's smooth.
The Santa Fe's body is solid, the suspension compliant but firm, and able to maintain reasonable control over body movement. The steering is light, ride comfort is excellent and the brakes are adequate, though prone to fade under hard use.
Apart from an unsupportive driver's seat, with limited travel, the Santa Fe's interior is spacious and comfortable. There's plenty of room in the middle seat and the load area; even the individual back seats are tolerable on short trips.
Hyundai's advertising claims five star rating, but this is from an American crash test, not the NCAP protocol used elsewhere.
Still, a full complement of safety gear is standard: ABS brakes, stability control, front, side and curtain airbags (which extend to the third row of seats) and active front head restraints.
Some glory but no guts.

Ford Territory From $39,490 Territory comes as rear drive or 4WD (add $4500.) Two back seats add $1500. Falcon's 190kW 4.0-litre six six-speed auto powertrain is a beauty. Quality, though, is patchy. Bits break or fall off. Not good.
Toyota Kluger From $41,990 The Kluger seats five (add $2000 for seven.) As befits the badge on the back, it's unbreakable. The 172kW 3.3-litre V6 five-speed auto does it easily and permanent 4WD works well on bitumen or dirt.
Toyota RAV4 From $31,990 The largest of the four-cylinder 4WDs comes with only five seats. Its 125kW 2.4-litre four-cylinder four-speed auto is no ball of fire either, but the lighter RAV4 is still quicker than the Santa Fe.
