Middlesex High science students explore Blue Ridge Parkway sites
Above, Middlesex High School science teacher John Porter and MHS math teacher Brett Shields take in the view with student members of the MHS Environmental Science Club atop Spy Rock near Montebello. They are, top from left, Lam Quach, Cody Parrish and Wesley Summerfield; middle, John Porter, Jack Porter (Mr. Porter's son), Brett Shields, Zach Halstead, Emily Toney and Chris Revere; bottom, Athena Gray. |
On April 18 teacher John Porter's Environmental Science Club at Middlesex High School (MHS) rose before dawn and traveled to Montebello via the Blue Ridge Parkway. While admiring the views from overlooks, club members also picked up litter in the parking lots.
They then went to the state's only trout fishery where a Department of Game and Inland Fisheries employee explained how they raise the multiple species of trout for release into mountain streams. Members were able to participate in the feeding of the trout.
After making lunch, the students made the 1.5-mile trek up 1,100 vertical feet to the top of Spy Rock. It is named Spy Rock because the 360-degree view made this a strategic Confederate overlook during the Civil War.
After eating lunch at the summit, multiple rock scrambles and descending, the group then hiked another two miles to the top of nearby Crabtree Falls. The falls include 1,200 feet of drops with the largest dropping 400 feet, and is generally considered the highest waterfalls east of the Mississippi.

PhD Research – fungi, medicine, religion and philosophy
Fungi, as a group of unprepossessing organisms, have long been ignored in the field of history of medicine. However, fungi are particularly important in traditional Chinese medicine, where the roles of special kinds of fungi link medicine with aspects of ancient history, culture and religion. While I have extensive knowledge of the primary and secondary sources on this subject, before embarking on a PhD on a new area of macrofungi history I have been taking an MSc course in Science, Communication and Society in order to develop new critical approaches to this material. I am particularly interested in the transnational modern history of fungi in East Asia.
I have accumulated a mass of historical materials on fungi and have published over twenty academic papers on several specific issues concerning fungi and traditional Chinese medicine. My outputs include the collation and annotation of all the ancient Chinese monographs on fungi; preliminary studies of the fungi recorded in ancient Arabic and Tibetan medical books; a systematic study of toxic fungi and remedies for fungus poisoning in ancient China; collation of information about the distribution of edible and medicinal fungi from ancient Chinese local chronicles; case studies concerning the perceptions of fungus Zhi and the relationship between fungi and the religious cultures of ancient China, and a comprehensive review of the knowledge of macrofungi in China before the Song dynasty. One of my findings is that there is probably a relationship between the six classifications of Zhi in classical Chinese medical books and Zhi in Daoist texts; in both cases, fungi are recorded as having a psychedelic action and are used for what we might think of as religious purposes.
My research will comprehensively explore the knowledge of fungi in ancient Chinese medicine and the process of how the current knowledge of fungi in traditional Chinese medicine has been constructed on the basis of the ancient knowledge of fungi in traditional Chinese medicine. This research centres on the following questions:
1) How do the overlapping worlds of medicine, religion and philosophy contribute to the formation of knowledge about fungi?
2) How has modern knowledge of fungi been incorporated into traditional Chinese medicine in the last two centuries, and how did it enter China?
3) What are the beliefs and practices surrounding fungi in contemporary traditional Chinese medical culture?
Historical and social contexts will consistently be taken into account so as to identify deeper social and cultural reasons for changes in the development of knowledge about fungi in traditional Chinese medicine. Special attention will be paid to late imperial and modern times, when Chinese traditional knowledge was dramatically rebuilt in the course of assimilating modern science and culture from Europe and Japan. The changes in the knowledge of fungi in traditional Chinese medicine are expected to reflect this process.
This research will be conducted by two methods: textual analysis and field investigation. Textual analysis will focus on cataloguing, evaluating and utilising the useful information that I have already obtained from the primary and secondary sources. Adding to my knowledge of ancient medical books, the Prescriptions of the Hui Nationality and the Tibetan Four Medical Tantras will be carefully examined together with classical Chinese medical books. Field investigation will be conducted to investigate the current use of fungi in traditional Chinese medicine. I will explore the medical use of fungi in different regions of China. Emphasis will be placed on the fungi used by China's ethnic minorities for medical purposes, because previous studies in this area are far from satisfactory. Interviews with experienced traditional Chinese physicians will also be carried out in order to obtain first-hand accounts of current perceptions of the medicinal properties of fungi. Generally speaking, the field investigation is expected to provide a window on how modern perceptions of the medicinal properties of fungi in traditional Chinese medicine have been formed.
In the past a dichotomy between East and West has distorted the History of Science in Asia. This thesis promises to challenge 'essentialist' accounts by looking at the exchange of knowledge in different ethnic groups, but also looking at the transmission of knowledge through the land routes from Central Asia and back and forward to Korea and Japan.

S.J.C. Order of Term Suspension entered by Justice Spina on December 3, 2010.1 MEMORANDUM AND JUDGMENT Bar counsel filed a petition for discipline of Richard C. O'Reilly, together with a stipulation of the parties. The stipulation recommended a suspension of the respondent from the practice of law for a period of one year. The parties acknowledged that the board was not bound by the recommendation, but they declared that they would be bound by the stipulation as to the facts and disciplinary violations stated therein. The board made a preliminary determination that, because the respondent's misconduct involved serious and multiple incidents occurring over a period of time, the board considered the sanction of one year to be insufficient, and that a hearing prior to reinstatement was warranted.2 The respondent requested reconsideration. Bar counsel did not join in the request, but he renewed his support for a one year suspension. The board then voted to accept the stipulation of facts, but to file an Information with the court recommending that the respondent be suspended from the practice of law for one year and one day. The issue before me is whether the board's recommended sanction of one year and one day is markedly disparate from sanctions imposed in comparable cases. Matter of Alter, 389 Mass. 153, 156 (1983). In applying this standard, "it is appropriate to consider the cumulative effect of the several violations committed by the respondent." Matter of Palmer, 413 Mass. 33, 38 (1992). The board's recommendation, while not binding, is entitled to "substantial deference." Matter of Tobin, 417 Mass. 81, 88 (1994). We do not give deference to the recommendation of bar counsel made in stipulation with the respondent. See Matter of Chambers, 421 Mass, 256, 260-261 (1995), citing Matter of Luongo, 416 Mass. 308, 312 (1993). 1. The Stipulation. The facts and disciplinary violations set forth in the stipulation of the parties are summarized as follows. On August 14, 2003, the respondent was appointed executor of the estate of a former client. He thereafter acted both as executor and attorney for the estate. He appropriately marshalled assets, established an estate account, liquidated various bonds, and sold the decedent's real estate. The assets of the estate had a combined value in excess of $2 million. The respondent was paid in full for all services rendered as of November 24, 2003, and there is no issue as to what he had done up to that point. On or about November 25, 2003, the respondent wrote a check on the estate account payable to himself in the amount of $50,000. He did not deposit any portion of the funds into an lOLTA or client trust account, but deposited the funds into a law office operating account. He subsequently used at least $29,000 of the funds for personal or business purposes unrelated to the purposes of the estate. There is no evidence of an intent to deprive the estate. The respondent was aware that Massachusetts and Federal estate tax returns would be due on or about February 28, 2004, nine months after the decedent's death (May 28, 2003). He also was aware that estate taxes likely would be due and owing to the Massachusetts Department of Revenue (DOR) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). At no time did he file any estate tax returns, pay any estate taxes, or request or obtain any extension to file or pay any estate tax. On May 19, 2004, the respondent returned to the estate account the sum of $50,000. No beneficiary's share was delayed and no deprivation resulted from his use of the funds. On March 25, 2005, the respondent sent a letter to a beneficiary enclosing what purported to be a final account of the estate, and a final disbursement check. He knowingly falsely represented in his letter that all estate taxes had been paid, and the final account showed debits for estate taxes paid to both the DOR and the IRS. The respondent never filed a final account with the probate court. On January 25, 2006, the respondent sent the beneficiary a letter enclosing what purported to be copies of the signature pages to Massachusetts and Federal estate tax returns, copies of correspondence to the DOR and the IRS, and copies of checks to those agencies. The copy of the letter to the DOR requested a waiver of penalties and interest on the estate taxes due. On March 23, 2006, the respondent sent the beneficiary a letter enclosing copies of letters he purportedly sent to the DOR and the IRS. He wrote in the letter addressed to the DOR that he said he had not received a response to his request for waivers of penalties and interest. In August, 2006, the beneficiary retained a lawyer to investigate the respondent's handling of the estate. The respondent admitted to the lawyer that he had filed no estate tax returns and had paid no taxes. He resigned as executor. An administrator with the will annexed was appointed. The administrator prepared the necessary estate tax returns, paid the taxes due, and sought and obtained waivers of all interest and penalties from the DOR and the IRS. The parties stipulate that the respondent violated the following Disciplinary Rules:
(a) Rule 1.1 Competence (a lawyer shall provide competent representation);
2. Discussion. In Matter of Keefe, 21 Mass. Att'y Discipline Rep. 530 (2005), a lawyer who intentionally withdrew funds belonging to two sets of clients from his IOLTA account, commingled the client funds with his own in his business account and intentionally misused the client funds for his own purposes, without intent to deprive any client of funds and with no deprivation resulting, was determined to have violated Mass. R. Prof. C. 1.15 (a), (b), and (d), and 8.4 (c) and (h). In that case, strongly resembling this case with respect to the facts constituting the commingling violations, the primary differences being that that case involved two sets of clients and violations of Mass. R. Prof. C. 7.1 (the lawyer misrepresented himself and his associate as a professional corporation, when the relationship was unincorporated) and 7.5 (the lawyer used a firm name and letterhead that violated Rule 7.1), the lawyer's license to practice law was suspended for nine months. The parties are not in dispute over the "comparable" value of the violations surrounding the commingling of funds.
(b) Rule 1.2 (a) Scope of Representation (a lawyer shall seek the lawful objectives of his client
. A lawyer does not violate this rule .... by being punctual in fulfilling all professional commitments);
(c) Rule 1.3 Diligence (a lawyer shall act with reasonable diligence and promptness);
(d) Rule 1.4 (a) Communication (a lawyer shall keep a client reasonably informed about the state of a matter);
(e) Rule 1.4 (b) Communication (a lawyer shall explain a matter to the extent reasonably necessary to permit the client to make informed decisions regarding the representation);
(f) Rule 1.15 (b) Segregation of Trust Property (a lawyer shall hold trust property separate from lawyer's own property);
(g) Rule 1.15 (c) Prompt Notice and Delivery of Trust Property to Client or Third Person;
(h) Rule 8.4 (c) Misconduct (it is professionally improper for a lawyer to engage in conduct involving misrepresentation);
(i) Rule 8.4 (h) Misconduct (it is professionally improper for a lawyer to engage in conduct adversely reflecting on his/her fitness to practice law).
There is considerable disagreement, however, over the "comparable" value of the violations for neglect and misrepresentation. In Matter of Kane, 13 Mass. Att'y Discipline Rep. 321, 327 (1997), the board established guidelines in cases involving neglect, see Matter of Shaughnessy, 442 Mass. 1012, 1014 (2004), as follows:
Applying the Kane analysis, there is essentially one act of neglect, failure to file the estate tax returns. This failure exposed the estate to a potentially serious injury in the form of significant interest and penalties. This misconduct typically would call for a public reprimand (an admonition under current S.J.C. Rule 4.01, § 8 [l][c][i]).4 See In re Norton, 19 Mass. Att'y Discipline Rep. 333 (2003).
Here, there were three separate misrepresentations designed to conceal a single incident of neglect. Under Kane, such conduct is considered an aggravating factor. Here the misrepresentations went to the status of the case itself, and therefore are violations of Rule 1.4 (a), (b) of Professional Conduct. A suspension for some period of time for neglect concealed by misrepresentations to the client is the appropriate sanction. See Matter of McCarthy, 17 Mass. Att'y Discipline Rep. 411 (2001) (suspension of one year and one day for neglect, misrepresentations to client, and misrepresentations to bar counsel in one case); Matter of Davidson, 17 Mass. Att'y Discipline Rep. 161 (2001) (three-year suspension for neglect and misrepresentations to different clients in three cases). The respondent's misconduct pertaining to neglect and the egregious and pervasive misrepresentations to the client warrant a suspension of between six months and one year, in my view.
The respondent argues that, the board has failed to consider substantial mitigation in this case. In particular, he cites (1) the absence of any disciplinary history, (2) his free and full disclosure and cooperation with bar counsel, and also the client's successor counsel, (3) his demonstrated remorse, and (4) his timely and good faith restitution. However, the first three factors on which he relies are essentially the absence of aggravating factors, and as such, are not mitigating factors. See Matter of Budnitz, 425 Mass. 1018, 1019 (1997) (lack of disciplinary history not mitigating factor); Matter of Anderson, 416 Mass. 521, 527 (1993) ("Only extraordinary mitigating circumstances should affect a sanction otherwise warranted by an attorney's conduct"). The fourth factor, timely and good faith restitution, is a mitigating factor. Matter of Kane, 13 Mass. Att'y Discipline Rep. 321, 328 (1997).
The respondent relies on In re: Daniels, 23 Mass. Att'y Discipline Rep. 102 (2007), for support of his argument that a sanction of one year and one day is markedly disparate. Although that case involved a nine-month suspension for many of the same kinds of violations as are present here, plus failure to cooperate with bar counsel's investigation, that case is very different. The misuse and commingling of client funds there was characterized as much by sloppiness as personal gain. Here, there is no suggestion of sloppiness. The magnitude of the funds involved in the Daniels case is much smaller than here. In addition, the nature and extent of the misrepresentations in that case were mild and far less elaborate than the misrepresentations here. In balance, I am satisfied that the recommendation of the board is appropriate, and comparable to sanctions imposed for similar misconduct.
The respondent is hereby suspended from the practice of law for a term of one year and one day.
1 The complete Order of the Court is available by contacting the Clerk of the Supreme Judicial Court for Suffolk County.
2 A hearing prior to reinstatement is required after any suspension of more than one year. S.J.C. Rule 4:01, § 18 (2) (c),(5).
3 The parties have not emphasized the failure to file, a probate account.
4 I do not believe there were repeated instances of neglect or a pattern of neglect that itself would warrant a suspension under Matter of Kane, 13 Mass. Att'y Discipline Rep. 321, 328 (1997). A "pattern" implies three or more incidents. Cf. Commonwealth v. Welch, 444 Mass. 80, 89 (2005) (three or more incidents required to show "pattern of conduct" under criminal harassment statute); Commonwealth v. Kwiatkowski, 418 Mass. 543, 548 (1994) (same, under criminal stalking statute). "Repeated" conduct connotes conduct occurring more than once. Here, the failure to file the estate tax returns was no more egregious than what occurred in In re Norton, 19 Mass. Att'y Discipline Rep. 333 (2003), which involved multiple omissions in the probate of an estate.

News for the Hospitality Executive |
June 12, 2012 - An Affiliate Member of the United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO), The Hong Kong Polytechnic University's (PolyU) School of Hotel and Tourism Management (SHTM) recently announced two programmes aimed at human resource capacity building for tourism in Asia and the Pacific. The SHTM has established a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) scholarship to encourage exceptional individuals who wish to pursue a research degree in hotel and tourism management. Commencing in the academic year 2012/2013, the scholarship will be offered to a qualified applicant recommended by UNWTO Member States in Asia and the Pacific. The scholarship will support one full-time student who will be on full stipend (USD64,000) for a study period of three years. In an effort to further contribute to human resource capacity building, the SHTM also offers a pioneering UNWTO Executive-in-Residence Programme to officials of UNWTO Members States in Asia and the Pacific. This innovative programme allows qualified candidates to spend six months at the School to upgrade and broaden their knowledge. Participants will have full access to classes and the SHTM's resources, and will benefit from the School's unique approach to hospitality and tourism education and research.

Thank you Federico (by the way, you are my namesake, as my 2nd name is Federico XD).
Here's more to it. I glue the wings to the airframe. Again, I'm using Tamiya tape to hold the wings while glue does its work. In the meantime, let's prepare the inferior fairings. And then in its place in the Concorde belly. The little paper pieces are enforcements for the fairing. Now I can continue with the details on the rudder, adding the rudder actuators to the stabilizer. By the way, to a plane like this, one can think of the tremendous drag of these little parts, but it's not true. They were designed to work without adding drag, or to a very minimum. Then the stabilizer goes to the airframe, using a support part for it. More to come. |
I see that you are applying your well-known paper odeling skill to this beautiful aircraft model, Gerardo. Looks like flawless treatment of the complex shapes of the engine exhausts and tail group.

Thanks for the words, Don and Thorst.
Don, that part reminded me of those polygons I used to build for the Math class in elementary school. This time, in the sound barrier realms! More for the Concorde. We have two options to build the cockpit. One is with dropped nose, for taxiing, landing and takeoff. aterrizar; And upper nose for in flight traveling. I opted for the dropped nose. Now the wheels. I did not build the wheels with Ralph´s diagrams, but in the way I build my other wheels - cardstock sandwich. Last photo is from the tail wheel. |

Nurturing Your Child to Improve Learning and Attention
Topic Overview
The following are suggestions for nurturing your child to help improve his or her learning and attention.
- Give frequent physical contact. Touch and hold your baby as much as possible during the first 6 months of his or her life. You will not spoil your baby. Your baby needs frequent physical contact to grow and develop.
- Set limits on your child's daily TV and computer time. Aim for 2 hours or less a day. For a child younger than 2 years, help his or her brain develop by playing or reading together instead of letting your child watch TV, watch movies, or play games on a screen.
- Choose age-appropriate toys, and provide a safe play environment. Toys that stimulate the brain are recommended, such as books, blocks, and puzzles. Use a playpen or gate to ensure the play area is safe from potential hazards, such as stairs or pets.
- Encourage your child to play. Find some time each day to play with your child. Choose games and play activities that encourage conversation, such as reading and board games. Also, allow your child some time to play alone.
- Make sure your child gets enough sleep and rest each day. Don't interrupt your child's sleep unless it is necessary. You may want to use soft music to help your child relax. Some people suggest playing soft music that does not contain words for 30 minutes each day.
- Encourage your child to eat healthy foods and to develop healthy eating habits. Limit the amount of sugar and fat in your child's diet.

42818 SERVICE DATE – DECEMBER 21, 2012 DO FR-4915-01-P DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Surface Transportation Board [Docket No. FD 35590] Illinois Railway, L.L.C., Chicago, Central & Pacific Railroad Company and Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern Railroad Corporation d/b/a Canadian Pacific—Joint Relocation Project Exemption—in Rockford, Ill. On December 5, 2012, Illinois Railway, L.L.C. (IR), Chicago, Central & Pacific Railroad Company (CC&P)[1], and Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern Railroad Corporation d/b/a Canadian Pacific (CP) (collectively, applicants) jointly filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 C.F.R. § 1180.2(d)(5) to participate in a joint project involving the relocation of certain tracks by IR and CC&P over which they currently operate, or have authority to operate, in the City of Rockford, Winnebago County, Ill. (the City).[2] The purpose of the joint relocation project is to facilitate the City's removal and replacement of the Morgan Street Bridge (the Bridge), an old highway bridge that crosses over the Rock River in the City. To allow for the City's bridge replacement project to proceed, IR and CC&P have agreed to realign their trackage and interchange points within the project area, including the removal of IR's tracks located beneath the Bridge. According to applicants, the relocation project involves seven components. First, IR will acquire limited overhead trackage rights from CC&P over CC&P's trackage between CCP milepost 85.75 and the connection with CP's trackage at or near CCP milepost 86.85, a distance of approximately 1.1 miles. In addition to overhead trackage rights, IR explains that it will have the right to enter and exit its main line west of the diamond at CCP milepost 85.75. IR will also have the right to enter and exit its former main line track east of the diamond at CCP milepost 85.65 (including between CCP milepost 85.65 and CCP milepost 85.00 for headroom) to enable IR to continue serving the shipper, Joseph Behr & Sons, Inc. (Behr). These trackage rights will allow IR to use the CC&P route across the Rock River and existing rights over CP's line to access IR's yard at South Rockford. Second, CC&P will acquire limited overhead and local trackage rights over IR trackage between IR milepost 22.54 and IR milepost 21.90, a distance of approximately 0.64 miles to enable CC&P to continue serving the shipper, Accuride Wheel End Solutions, formerly Gunite Foundries (Gunite). Third, a new connecting track will be constructed west of the diamond at or near CCP milepost 85.75 to facilitate IR's use of its trackage rights and to facilitate CC&P's use of its trackage rights. Fourth, a new connecting track connecting CC&P's mainline and the former IR mainline north of the diamond will be constructed east of the diamond at or near CCP milepost 85.65 to facilitate IR's use of its trackage rights to continue serving Behr. Fifth, IR will remove the diamond and its trackage on either side of the diamond between the two connecting tracks and between IR milepost 23.05 (approximately 150 feet south of the center line of Morgan Street) to IR milepost 23.45 (at the north end of IR's Rock River bridge). Sixth, CC&P will remove certain industrial lead track south of the diamond (located parallel to the IR's line) currently used by CC&P to serve Gunite. Seventh, CP will discontinue its overhead trackage rights over IR trackage between IR milepost 22.54 and IR milepost 23.5. According to applicants, these trackage rights through this area have been relocated to the CC&P route. Applicants state that, once the relocation project is completed, IR will quitclaim to the City IR's right-of-way that consists of a distance of 750 feet north of the centerline of Morgan Street and 150 feet south of the centerline of Morgan Street. According to applicants, the relocation project will provide a number of public and private benefits such as: (a) enhanced public safety through the closing of the existing public highway-rail grading crossings and the upgrading of five existing highway-rail grade crossings; (b) improved railroad safety and decreased maintenance costs for the railroads through the removal of the IR-CC&P diamond south of the Bridge; and (c) a safer and more suitable highway bridge which will support a Class II truck route. Applicants state that the proposed joint relocation project will not disrupt service to shippers, nor will it expand IR's or CC&P's service into a new territory or alter the existing competitive situation. The two shippers, Behr and Gunite, will continue to receive service. CC&P will continue to have access to Gunite via the new connecting track west of the former diamond and the CC&P trackage rights. IR will continue to have access to Behr via the new connecting track east of the former diamond and its trackage rights. The Board will exercise jurisdiction over the abandonment, construction, or sale components of a relocation project, and require separate approval or exemption, only where the removal of track affects service to shippers or the construction of new track or transfer of existing track involves expansion into new territory. See City of Detroit v. Canadian Nat'l Ry., 9 I.C.C.2d 1208 (1993), aff'd sub nom. Detroit/Wayne Cnty. Port Authority v. ICC, 59 F.3d 1314 (D.C. Cir. 1995); Flats Indus. R.R. & Norfolk S. Ry.—Joint Relocation Project Exemption—in Cleveland, Ohio, FD 34108 (STB served Nov. 15, 2001). Line relocation projects may embrace trackage rights transactions such as those involved here. See Detroit, Toledo & Ironton R.R.—Trackage Rights—Between Washington Court House & Greggs, Ohio—Exemption, 363 I.C.C. 878 (1981). Under these standards, the incidental abandonment, construction, and trackage rights components of this relocation project require no separate approval or exemption because the relocation project will not disrupt service to shippers, expand IR's or CC&P's service into a new territory, or alter the existing competitive situation, and thus, this joint relocation project qualifies for the class exemption at 49 C.F.R. § 1180.2(d)(5). As a condition to this exemption, any employees affected by the trackage rights will be protected by the conditions imposed in Norfolk and Western Railway—Trackage Rights—Burlington Northern, Inc., 354 I.C.C. 605 (1978), as modified in Mendocino Coast Railway—Lease and Operate-California Western Railroad, 360 I.C.C. 653 (1980). The transaction may be consummated on or after January 4, 2013, the effective date of the exemption (30 days after the exemption was filed). If the verified notice contains false or misleading information, the exemption is void ab initio. Petitions to revoke the exemption under 49 U.S.C. § 10502(d) may be filed at any time. The filing of a petition to revoke will not automatically stay the effectiveness of the exemption. Petitions for stay must be filed no later than December 28, 2012 (at least 7 days before the exemption becomes effective). An original and 10 copies of all pleadings, referring to Docket No. FD 35590, must be filed with the Surface Transportation Board, 395 E Street, S.W., Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, a copy of each pleading must be served on applicants' representatives: Karl Morell, Ball Janik LLP, 655 Fifteenth Street, N.W., Suite 225, Washington, DC 20005, (IR's representative); William C. Sippel, Fletcher & Sippel LLC, 29 North Wacker Drive, Suite 920, Chicago, IL 60606 (CC&P's representative); and W. Karl Hansen, Leonard, Street and Deinard Professional Association, 150 South Fifth Street, Suite 2300, Minneapolis, MN 55402 (CP's representative). Board decisions and notices are available on our website at "WWW.STB.DOT.GOV." Decided: December 17, 2012. By the Board, Rachel D. Campbell, Director, Office of Proceedings. [1] IR is a subsidiary of OmniTRAX, Inc. CC&P is an indirect subsidiary of Canadian National Railway Company (CN) and is operated as part of the CN rail system. [2] Two redacted trackage rights agreements between IR and CC&P, were filed with the notice of exemption. The unredacted versions were filed under seal along with a motion for protective order, which will be addressed in a separate decision. |

The National Prosecuting Authority is testing the substance to determine what its veracity, the report added. (ANI)

Clive Barker Gives Early Hints on 'Abarat' Movie and 'Nightbreed' Cable Series
One creator who certainly keeps tabs on the adaptations made from his books is Mr. Clive Barker. (Not long ago he ragged on the most recent Hellraiser sequel, and rather fittingly in my opinion.) But a recent interview with the prolific artist yielded two small but very interesting pieces of good news:
1. There definitely are producers out there who want to turn Barker's Abarat series into a movie or two: "very large scale, very expensive and very visual and, boy, Abarat is going to be, I think, a very different kind of movie," says the author. He also assures his fans that Disney will not be involved. Heh.
2. The 1990 feature Nightbreed, which Barker wrote and directed (based on his own story, "Cabal"), may soon become a cable series with lots of sex and violence and horror. Says the man himself: "We are also actively in conversation about doing a Nightbreed television series which will be for cable, so it will have a chance to be as sexy or as graphic in terms of the violence as we need it to be." He also makes the rather astute assertion that Nightbreed may have been a little ahead of its time, whereas nowadays we seem to have no problem accepting hideous monsters as heroes, anti-heroes, and characters worthy of some sympathy.
Me, I'm still waiting for an adaptation of Barker's stunning short story "In the Hills, the Cities." Pure nightmare fuel, that one.
For the full interview, which covers a lot more than these two titles and is quite excellent, check Mr. Barker's "Revelations" blog right here.

AWARD CELEBRATES SPEECH PROTECTION Freedom of speech is sacred at the University, especially to the members of the nonprofit Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression. On Dec. 16, the group awarded the William J. Brennan Jr. award to Georgetown professor David D. Cole, who is a lawyer, author and commentator. Cole has litigated a number of major First Amendment cases and written "Enemy Aliens: Immigrants' Rights and American Freedoms in the War on Terrorism," among other books and articles. According to Robert O'Neil, director of the center and former clerk for the late Justice Brennan, the award honors the legacy of Brennan's commitment to the principles of free expression, and includes a $5,000 gift. The group gathered at the U.S. Supreme Court for the award ceremony. (Richmond Times-Dispatch, Dec. 16)
GRANT TO HELP DEPRESSED MOTHERS AWARDED The Virginia Department of Health has won a grant to help health care providers identify women suffering from depression due to pregnancy and help find treatment for them. The department will team with U.Va., the Eastern Virginia Medical School and Virginia Commonwealth University's Medical College of Virginia. The award money of $250,000 will serve to create an Internet-based program that doctors, nurses, social workers and others can use to identify signs of depression. (Hampton Daily Press, Dec. 14)
CROSS ON DISPLAY AT U.VA. On display now in the new Harrison Institute for American History, Literature and Culture, is a cross that was burned on the lawn of a professor in 1956. It is part of an exhibit tracing America's turbulent journey from the time of Columbus to the 1950s. The burned cross, now behind glass, is a visceral symbol of the intensity of the civil rights movement and of the individual, unpopular stands made by an initially small number of white people. The cross was saved by Sarah Patton Boyle, a writer and the wife of a professor, and an early activist of desegregation. (Richmond Times-Dispatch, Dec. 26)

Welcome to PlanetaryHealingBook.com, the interactive website based on the new book by Nicki Scully and Mark Hallert, Planetary Healing: Spirit Medicine for Global Transformation.
It took twenty-five years of visioning to create the Planetary Healing practices in this book. As this body of work took shape, we practiced on the issues of our times, such as wars, natural disasters and environmental degradation.
Join the group on Facebook!
Planetary Healing Call to Action
Wednesday, April 22, 6:00PM Pacific Time
Phone/Skype/Web Teleconference with Nicki Scully
Join the call! Register here.
Over the years we held web/phone conference events through which we galvanized the strength of our numbers to focus on such issues as the gulf oil spill of 2010, working with the ocean and the wildlife that were affected; Hurricane Rita; the Haiti and Chilean earthquake disasters; and most recently Hurricane Irene. We also held bi-monthly Phone Bridges (phone/web teleconferences) for healing cancer for more than six years. The feedback from these virtual gatherings was consistent with our realization that when we focus together and exercise the power of our group mind, we can make a difference.
The last Planetary Healing Call to Action happened on February 4.

On this site we will feature specific processes and journeys from the book designed to tackle emergencies as they arise on the planet in the myriad forms that are occurring in these intense times. We plan to create event opportunities through phone, web, and skype conferencing to work together to mitigate challenges as they arise. The goal is for us to harness the exponential power of our numbers. We will offer forums and possibly a blog to discuss our progress and support one another in our work. We commit to remaining accessible to answer questions that come up around this work. We hope this forum will stimulate discussion to improve, expand, and create new spirit medicine for global transformation.

Super Green Watermelons are watermelons (with green skin, red flesh, and black seeds) found in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and its remake Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3. If a Yoshi eats the Super Green Watermelon, Yoshi can spit seeds. Ukikis have many Super Green Watermelons, some half-eaten, which only let a Yoshi spit out half as many seeds as a full melon. Ukikis use the watermelons to spit seeds. The seeds have the same effect on enemies as an egg.

Public records also indicate that Governor Symington has promoted Canelos' businesses to Mexican President Zedillo.
On March 3, 1996, President Zedillo sent Symington a letter thanking him for his continued support of the North American Free Trade Agreement. Before inviting Symington to a luncheon in Mexico City, Zedillo updated the governor on a Canelos business enterprise.
"I have asked our Secretary of Agriculture, Mr. Francisco Labastida, to have a meeting with Mr. Canelos regarding the ethanol project," Zedillo states in his letter to Symington.
Public documents released by the Governor's Office do not describe any ethanol projects or reveal who, besides Canelos, is involved.
The governor also has touted state and federal initiatives to speed commercial traffic over the border at Nogales--an effort that would help not only Canelos, but all commercial shippers.
Symington asked the state Legislature to appropriate $750,000 to supplement a federal review of port operations in Nogales. The state funds were appropriated and earmarked to develop ways to speed commercial traffic.
Symington has discussed the Nogales port issue several times with Mexican President Zedillo and has received assurances from Zedillo that Mexico will cooperate with speeding commercial traffic through the border.
He's also broached the issue with President Clinton, writing him in December that Clinton's delay in permitting cross-border trucking "robs the entire U.S.-Mexico border region of the full economic benefits that the North American Free Trade Agreement promises."
Alejandro Canelos could not obtain a regular visa in October 1995 to enter the United States. But that didn't stop Governor Symington and Canelos from holding a private meeting.
The governor used his elected position and his access to a taxpayer-supported aircraft to arrange a private meeting with Canelos in October 1995 in Culiacan.
Symington used the DPS' turbojet plane to transport himself, J. Fife IV and Nicolas Canelos along with two state officials from Phoenix to Culiacan at taxpayer expense.
The entourage was part of a state trade mission to Sinaloa. Other Arizona businessmen on the trip paid $350 to $400 for commercial flights, but the governor's son and the younger Canelos were transported free.
State records indicate that the governor broke off from the rest of the state trade delegation on the morning of October 10, 1995.
While the Arizona trade delegation he was leading met with Sinaloan businessmen over coffee, the governor held a two-and-a-half-hour private breakfast meeting with Canelos at the agriculturist's farm headquarters, state records indicate.
The records do not say what was discussed.
But the meeting came less than two months after "J. Fife Symington" joined Alejandro Canelos Rodriguez on the board of directors of Melones Internacional.

Hillary Billary Schlock
Written by Paul Duffy
May 15, 2008
The time for Hillary-hating without guilt is at hand. As of May 13's West Virginia primary, with no sign from the former First Lady that she was going to change her discordant tune, or in any other way soften her posture of win-at-any-cost, those of us who would like to see the backs of Hilly, Billy and the former first daughter no longer felt compelled to be polite. Get thee gone, Hillary. And take the whole little family unit with you.
This is not a popular sentiment with all Democrats, of course. Quite a few, including my 92-year-old stepmother, a woman of generally high standards, are so blindly loyal to the whole Clinton enterprise that they cannot bear the thought that Hillary might actually have already lost. And not only lost, but lost to Whathisname, that upstart who had the nerve to challenge, and then undermine, our own valiant Hilly, the first woman in history who had good reason to believe she would win the Democratic presidential nomination. Or, to put it differently, the first woman to have been denied what was so obviously her rightful destiny by a skinny unknown from Chicago who has never done anything at all.
Although many of us who voted for him thought that Bill Clinton was irredeemably cheesy, we also thought he was better than the alternative. He did a pretty good job of debasing the office, to be sure, but he also managed to get though eight years without doing any serious damage to the country. He even did a few things right. Compared to the current Oval Office occupant, his performance was stellar. But where did this idea that his wife deserved the Democratic nomination come from? That because she was married to a president, she should become a president? That it was a kind of birthright? That we owed it to her?
Maybe it's past time for a woman to be president, but Hillary Clinton? Oh, well, she fights dirty but that's just politics. Oh, well, she doesn't always tell the truth but that's just politics. Oh, well, she and Bill will do anything to win but that's just politics.
Yes, she'll play the race card if necessary but it's only politics. She will bend the rules, stretch the rules, break the rules, and change the rules, but only because she wants to win. And what's wrong with that? Politics is about winning, not losing, for God's sakes.
And some mean-spirited people have even questioned the source of all that money she has lent to her own dying campaign. Is there no end to the burdens this woman must bear?
Where does a woman who was unemployed for eight of the last 15 years and now earns a senator's salary get millions to loan her campaign? This is the kind of impertinent question the mean-spirited are asking. Oh, she got it from Bill and she had some book deals. Where did Bill get it? Oh, he gets big fees for speaking and he has book deals, too. And then there's something about the Emir of Dubai and foreign relationships but let's move on.
Yes, by all means, let's move on, but do you think we could move on without Hillary and her pants suits and her tawdry politics-as-usual and her smarmy family unit? Could we leave them behind, please? And that means behind as in gone, so long, out of the picture, nowhere in sight. It does not mean as the Cheney replacement on a "dream ticket," that for many of us would be more nightmare than dream. Can you imagine the mischief a conniving, power-crazed Hillary and her irrepressible, cloven-footed mate would create in an Obama administration? Can you conceive of what it would be like trying to manage the nation's affairs with Hillary lurking inches behind you while Monica and Gennifer and Paula leap in and out of closets with the Fun Guy in hot pursuit?
I feel a scream rising in my throat.

For some time, the URL www.[my three initials here].net was my URL.
I surrendered it a few years back -- which means it eventually went back up --
and it has since been taken over by a hardcore pornography company.
This is, in the extreme, very annoying. Very, very annoying. In particular, it
is annoying because old messages on Usenet, etcetera, that contain
sub-directories off that domain direct viewers to adult content.
But there is nothing I can do about it.
Please accept my apologies for something I had no control over. :-(

Chin Shot
Submitted By Todd on November 4th at 6:38am
The President and his party took it on the chin last night, losing the Governor's seats in Virginia and New Jersey, and, to the will of the people on Gay Marriage in Maine. Democrats have never been much impressed with the will of the peeps - last night did little to alter their outlook.
Gay marriage has lost in every state in which it has been put to a popular vote – most recently in California last year.The only bright spot for the Democrats came in New York's 23rd, where the late resignation of the GOP nominee from the race proved too big a hurdle for the independent conservative, quirky unknown who didn't live in the district that he was, to get over.
The struggle was viewed as a proxy for a national struggle between activists arguing the GOP slipped by betraying conservative values and officials warning a rightward move would further alienate an increasingly independent-minded electorate. The split resulted in the election of Bill Owens -- the first Democratic congressman from that region since the late 1800s.As they do the honest analysis in the backrooms of power, they will chock this up to the GOP shooting itself in the foot as part of its growing pains over how to move forward ideologically. Consider it a win for Newt. Results in the 23rd also represent a glitch in the skyrocketing influence of Sarah Palin, and a more important stumble for the Governor of Minnesota, Tim Pawlenty, who broke party protocol by supporting Doug Hoffman. Party protocol is important for someone who is running for president. He is, Sarah isn't.

Dell today announced that PocketCloud Explore is now available for Apple's iPad and tablets running Microsoft's Windows RT operating system, an ARM-compatible version of Windows 8 for ARM-powered devices like the Surface.
The move marks Dell's latest effort to bring Wyse's technology, which it acquired in April, to bear on the fast-growing bring your own device (BYOD) movement. Earlier this month, the IT giant launched Dell Wyse Cloud Client Manager (formerly Project Stratus), a cloud-based mobile device management (MDM) and mobile application management (MAM) service. Now the company is taking aim at remote file access and sharing.
Previously available for Android and iOS devices like the iPhone and iPod touch, PocketCloud Explore is a content sharing platform that allows users to remotely access, view, edit and share files stored across devices and the product's "Cloudbin" online storage component. Dell claims that PocketCloud apps have racked up more than 3.7 million downloads to date.
PocketCloud apps have won over users, too. Currently they enjoy 4 to 4.5 star ratings on Apple App Store and Google Play, said Dell.
The new apps expand the BYOD-friendly technology's reach to more platforms, but more critically, it simplifies file access and management for more tablet users, said Tarkan Maner, VP and general manager of Cloud Client Computing at Dell.
"With the larger and more user-friendly interface available on tablet devices, users can do it all, from sharing personal memories to editing professional documents. Dell Wyse PocketCloud solutions make cloud computing less 'pie in the sky', and more 'palm of your hand, as users are able to not only access all their assets from their mobile devices, but also change, upload and delete them at will," explained Maner in a company statement.
Dell also announced today PocketCloud Web, a service that mimics PocketCloud Explore's features but makes them available on any Web browser. The company also revealed that its client broker for Windows (also available on Mac), called PocketCloud Companion, will be preinstalled on all Dell XPS and Dell Inspiron computers shipped in North America going forward.

Congressman Ryan tells Republicans, don't get rattled
Washington, D.C. -- House budget chair Paul Ryan said conservatives must not allow themselves to be baited into "playing the villain" in President Obama's second term.
Ryan told Republicans Saturday at the "National Review Summit" to instead provide a smart and constructive approach to the President's policies, opposing him on some issues and engaging him on others.
Ryan cautioned Republicans to not get rattled.
"We won't play the villain in his morality plays. We have to stay united. We have to show that-if given the chance-we can govern. We have better ideas," said Ryan.
Ryan says the next step is to mitigate bad policy in the President's second term, and to advance good policy whenever possible.
Gov. Scott Walker was also scheduled to speak at the same event.
