In this series, Chip draws from New Testament parables to reveal how to experience and safeguard unshakable hope, in spite of your circumstances.
Everyone desires to love and be loved. The pursuit of "true love" is everywhere you look! It's romanticized on TV and in the movies Read More we watch. Countless books and songs are written about it and hundreds of online dating websites and relationship seminars abound - all of which are designed to "help" you find that special someone to love.

CERITALAH By KARIM RASLAN
Amid the dreariness of waiting for the next general election, a spontaneous trip to Kenya and Senegal seems like the perfect antidote for this writer.
THE main narrative of Joseph Conrad's only novel set in Africa, The Heart of Darkness, begins and ends in the damp, dreary Belgian city of Brussels.
For the Polish seafarer-turned-novelist, the northern European capital was the
apogee of bourgeois smugness and hypocrisy: a city crammed with lavish palaces and public buildings funded by a shadowy corporation that had enslaved millions in the Congo as it squeezed a rich tribute of ivory, rubber and decades later, cobalt and copper.
My own, much more recent fascination with Africa can also be traced back to the comic hero Tintin's hometown.
In fact, the Brussels I visited last month was as "sepulchral" and misty as Conrad eerily described it.
What was I doing in Brussels? Well, having been appointed to the Board of Trustees of an NGO called the International Crisis Group (ICG), I was in the city to attend my first board meeting.
For those who don't know, the ICG is an independent non-profit committed to preventing and resolving deadly conflict.
It is led by the highly-regarded Canadian jurist Louise Arbour, formerly of UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, and with a staff count of over 150 spread across the globe.
I have used their research and analysis for well over 15 years so I was very pleased to be involved, especially since my fellow board members included George Soros, Javier Solana and the Pakistani lawyer-cum-activist Asma Jahangir.
For those interested in ICG's work, I recommend checking about its website. The reports are free and the coverage – on the South China Sea issue for example – are extremely thorough.
Having said that, I found myself most intrigued by the sessions on Africa, so much so that in the short breaks, I'd dash out to explore the local bookstores and antique shops in the Place Sablon and Avenue Louise, which were full of artefacts from both West and Central Africa.
In fact, a lengthy and extremely comprehensive session on Sudan prompted me to search for maps and histories of the deeply-troubled nation.
When I returned home to Kuala Lumpur, my bags were hopelessly overweight.
I also had an invitation from a fellow board member, Mo Ibrahim, to attend his Foundation's Governance Weekend in Dakar, Senegal.
At the time he invited me, we were sitting in a restaurant just off the glittering Grand Place.
Frankly, the idea of travelling halfway across the globe to West Africa seemed ridiculous and just a little crazy – but who am I, if not crazy?
So, spurred on in part by a desire to escape the dreariness of waiting for the 13th general election, I packed my bags and headed off to Africa – boarding a Kenya Airways 777 late one night in Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi airport – while also trying to figure out whether I'd lost my sanity.
Landing in Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta Airport was an eye-opener in itself as my fellow passengers rushed off to board their respective connecting flights to destinations as exotic as Kigali, Luanda, Lubumbashi and Juba – names I'd only ever seen on an atlas.
Plunging into Nairobi was both enthralling and enervating. The Kenyan capital has both Jakarta-style traffic jams as well as a reputation for crime.
Still, I dashed around meeting journalists, activists, political analysts and researchers with one hand very firmly gripping my knapsack.
During dinner with friends at their
farmhouse high above the city in the lush, wooded Ngong Hills – where the Danish writer Karen Blixen once lived – I marvelled at the city's raw energy, vibrancy and dynamism.
Three days later, I clambered onto another plane, mentally preparing myself for a nine-hour journey to Dakar via Abidjan.
Once again, I wondered whether my frustration with Malaysian politics justified roaming so far from home?
The Mo Ibrahim Foundation's Governance Weekend provided me with even more food for thought.
Indeed, there were moments when I felt as if I was back in Indonesia circa 2002: witnessing the inception of something very dramatic and loaded with potential.
The weekend was a flurry of encounters and conversations – some extended though many were tantalisingly brief.
There was lunch with the subdued but thoughtful South African Planning Minister Trevor Manuel, a bit of gyrating on stage with singer Angelique Kidjo whose soaring vocals electrified the auditorium, as well as a meeting with one of the most impressive young leaders I've ever come across – Cameroonian banker Mamadou Toure, who spoke, French, German, Spanish and English.
Having chaired a session with the
former Nigerian president Olusegun Obasanjo, Mamadou described the NGO he had set up, Africa2.0, as well as the various deals he had helped put together, including one for the Nigerian cement tycoon Aliko Dangote.
He talked about Dangbara, one of the largest and now most profitable cement plants in the world.
At that point, I knew that I was in the right place at the right time.

Seven women of varying ages, sizes and temperaments, are warming up on a playground this typically grey monsoon evening. They comprise the Women's Football Team of the National Stock Exchange of India, and are practicing for an upcoming tournament with other all-woman corporate teams (there are about 10 in Mumbai alone!) in the last week of June.
Simone Gonsalves, the captain, has been a sportsperson right from her school days. "Football started for me when the NSE Men's Football Team encouraged some of us women to form a team. We were initially hesitant. But after we won the first game, there was no looking back," she says, her eyes keenly following the stance of a teammate dribbling the ball in a corner.
The women have grown through experience. "When I started out, I was unsure of even kicking the ball hard. But, I wanted to do my team proud. With my teammates support, I learnt to deal with the rough and tumble of the game. It became fun. Initially, my family laughed at the idea of me playing football, but they always supported me," says Anuradha Shetty, the team goalie.
And they have taken their fair share of knocks. "I remember when Neha took a ball to her head and fell flat on her back. Heena, our defender takes on players from the opposing team irrespective of their size. She's our wall!," says Simone, triggering a bout of loud laughter.
"For us, it is about playing a good game. Simone always tells us that we must play fair, play clean and play together. A win is sweet only when we have earned it. I think for the boys it is more about winning the cup or medal at any cost. For me, the bond with my teammates is what pushes me to do better every time," adds Pratiksha Pathak, the team's forward.
Yet, all is not fair in love and sport. "The boys get a cash prize when they win tournaments and the girls only get a cup," mentions Anuradha. Her team nods their heads sombrely at the unfairness that seems to permeate the game at all levels. But that won't stop them playing. As Simone expertly guides her team through the warm-up exercises, I marvel at this happy bunch of shiny-eyed footballers with capable shoulders, who take both work and play in their stride. Game on girls!

32 year old man | Dallas, TX, USA | Seeking women 24-35 within 100 miles
Willing to lie about how we met!
I'm a semi newbie to Dallas, moved here a year ago from Michigan for a new job and very much liking the change of speed. Warm weather year round beats being up to your crotch in snow for 9 months a year for sure. I am originally from the UK (accent still intact and everything) but have lived in the States for pushing on 8 years - I love it here and consider the U.S home. I do go back once a year to see family and sometimes for work so I guess an added benefit of the package deal is free trips to Europe. In my spare time I love mountain biking, running and skiing when I can get out to Colorado. I also coach a U8 boys soccer team twice a week for a bit of fun. I also love music and own a couple of guitars that I like to rock out a bit of Led Zeplin to every now and then. I have a wide range of interests and always enjoy good conversation with people, even if they have differences of opinion - I think it's important to respect everyone's point of view. I find driven and intelligent women attractive and would very much like to meet someone who is open minded and ambitious but at the same time, knows how to have a laugh - I'm not really into the small town simpleton life (The kind of stuff you hear about in country music), so if your looking for a cowboy, who has no plans to leave his old dirt road, and personal self worth is derived from the size of his flat bed truck (Yawn), then I'm probably not the guy for you. I like spontaneity, adventure and excitement in my life, so someone who likes to travel, who has goals and wants to experience all that life has to offer would be right up my alley. I very much appreciate you reading my profile and if it didn't bore you to tears and I seem interesting to you, I'd love to hear from you - unless of course I send you a note first : ) Peace to all - cheers Alex

Most of these claims have been about his boats - many of them have been about stuff people have supposedly said. And the majority of them just don't add up.
So, according to your own signature line from that fine philosopher, I'm checking sources, doing some research on Brent's claims. If they stand up to scrutiny, I am indeed just winding things up. If not, I'm learning something for myself just like any Cruiser Wannabe should do. Thus far, those claims are not doing so well.
For example, with Brent's quotes above (and elsewhere) - would a typical Cruiser Wannabe surmise that it's pretty cheap to buy the plans/DVD for a BS Boat, pretty quick and easy to get the boat put together, and pretty cheap to complete her and sail her for the rest of your life with extremely low maintenance time and costs if you're just resourceful?
I think yes.
But then you start looking through what's actually out there (my examples above), and what it takes to get it done - and the reality is very different from this picture.
For example, take the vaunted Silas Crosby:
the boat | s/v silas crosby
Brent's quote above talks about pulling the exterior of a boat together in 6 days. But what comes after that 6 days of roughing things out? Well, according to the Silas Crosby guy, this:
And this isn't even a cost breakdown.
Does that Cruiser Wannabe lining up for plans know what he's really getting into? The tools. The multi-discipline know-how. The multi-year time commitment. The substantial financial investment. ALL before ever getting to sail a single mile?
So, no. I'm not just winding things up here. I'm trying to figure out what Brent is talking about. Because it's not these boats.
There is no way I worked 500 hours on that boat . Did most of it in the month of June 1992, then went sailing for the rest of the summer. Steve worked part time on her, while working as a doctor in Courtenay. Being a doctor who had just sold a Spencer 35 he had sailed to New Zealand and back ,he could afford to buy new what most would have time to find used.
The steel for the keels is a 8 ft by 12 ft 1/4 inch plate and the half inch bottoms , 6 inches wide by 6 ft long , about 1,000 lbs in total for the steel. It would take more of your AIG , Enron style, creative calculating to make it 2,000 lbs. The plans don't call for the extra 500 lbs of ballast and Steve is the only one who has put that much in. Steve made the boat a part time hobby, mixing boat building with, hiking in the mountains, skiing , cross country and downhill, and many other family activities along with working. He knows how to enjoy life.
Rowland towed his 36, ballasted , all steel work done , to Edmonton . He said the govt scales said it was 15,000 lbs, total.
I launched my 31 a month after the steel arrived in 84. The folks at Newcastle marina can confirm that. Winston Bushnell can confirm that.
I had $4,000 to my name, total when I ordered the steel, then $40 when I launched her. Then I made another $2,000 to detail rig and get her liveable, by october the same year after having puled Uller and Moon Raven together in June of that year. The folks on Cortes Island can confirm that.
I spent three weeks in Winnipeg building Ron Rietsma's boat which sails on lake Winnipeg. In those three weeks I got most of the steel work done including the mast, self steering , all deck details, tankage , lifelines handrails hatches , etc etc in effect all the steel detailing as well. I was only there for three weeks. Commercial builders charge a fortune for that amount of work or much less, in the way of detailing.
Sure, some, who don't have a lot of money, will be stupid enough to to buy everything new , salvage nothing, despite our being awash in perfectly good used gear with absolutely nothing wrong with it, then complain about the cost of everything. Some will spend their working time smoking dope and drinking, or taking trips to Asia the west Indies, etc, do. doing nothing on the boat for years on end, then complain about how long it is taking,Some have. Others have spent years without setting foot on the boat, making babies, surfing , traveling . skiing etc, but that is not my fault. I have only claimed that one CAN get a boat together quickly without it costing a fortune. Many of my clients have accomplished that. I never claimed that my boats build themselves.

I think today we should all remember that on January 20, 2009 (inauguration day) GOP House Leaders & GOP Senators plotted to sabotage the US Economy along with failed candidate for President, Newt Gingrich, and GOP Propaganda Minister Frank Luntz.
Many talking heads today are saying that either Jeb Hensarling(R) or Kevin McCarthy(R) will take the place of Eric Cantor to be the House Majority Leader and possibly, the future Speaker of the House. But, what those talking heads are failing to mention is that both Hensarling and McCarthy were at that secret meeting in 2009.
According to Bureau of Labor, in January 2009, when President Obama was sworn in, the country lost 818,000 jobs. And, in the months leading up to January 2009, the United States was consistently losing over 700,000 jobs per month, yet these GOP assholes still plotted to do further damage to America and plotted to sabotage our economy.
Here are the Facts:
FACT 1. In Robert Draper's book, "Do Not Ask What Good We Do: Inside the U.S. House of Representatives" Draper wrote that on inauguration night, 2009, during a four hour, "invitation only" meeting with GOP Hate-Propaganda Minister, Frank Luntz, the below listed Senior GOP Law Writers literally plotted to sabotage, undermine and destroy America's Economy.
FACT 2: Draper wrote the guest list included:
The Guest List:These jerks actually call themselves "Patriots." Patriot my butt, more like: H8-triots!
Frank Luntz - GOP Minister of Propaganda
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)
Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA)
Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA),
Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX),
Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-TX),
Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-MI)
Rep. Dan Lungren (R-CA),
Sen. Jim DeMint (SC-R),
Sen. Jon Kyl (AZ-R),
Sen. Tom Coburn (OK-R),
Sen. John Ensign (NV-R) and
Sen. Bob Corker (TN-R).
Non-lawmakers present Newt Gingrich - Failed GOP candidate for President
I'd like to know:
1) Why are media outlets continuing to prop-up these vile H8-triots when they literally plotted, in secret, to undermine American families in their plot to sabotage the U.S. economy?
2) Why are no media outlets demanding each one of these GOP leaders explain their involvement of plotting to undermine the US Economy?
3) Why the hell would anyone want either Hensarling, or McCarthy to be Speaker of the House when they literally plotted to sabotage the US economy at a time when America was losing over 700,000 jobs per month?
FACT 3: Newt Gingrich confirms meeting took place in an interview with Al Sharpton's Politics Nation on June 12, 2012
SHARPTON: In fact, let`s go to a book that Mr. Draper wrote about the night of the inauguration. There was a meeting at a hotel near the inaugural ball, about a mile away ... He writes about that night the plan was to show united and unyielding
opposition to the president`s economic policies ... And Draper writes that you told the group -- you, Newt Gingrich, "You will remember this day...you will remember this day the seeds of 2012 were sown."
If there was a commitment from day one, before he ever took a seat
behind the desk of the Oval Office, that everyone was going to obstruct
him, then what he`s done has been almost unbelievable, against those kind
of odds, Speaker Gingrich.
NEWT: The first is, it was an important meeting and I was glad and honored to be part of it ... I said to Callista when we left the wall -- because we were at the Capitol for the inaugural. As we left, I said, you know, if he sticks to the kind of moderation and bipartisanship he`s been describing, he will split the Republican Party. He`ll govern like Eisenhower and he`ll get reelected. Now this is -- this is the inaugural day.
SHARPTON: I`m glad you admit you had it.
FACT 4: Two months after Paul Ryan's covert meeting where they plotted to sabotage the US Economy, in March 2009, Rep. Pete Sessions said Republicans should follow the model of the Taliban in its battles against President Obama.
In the March 2009 interview with National Journal Rep Sessions said:
PETE SESSIONS: "Taliban Insurgency, we understand perhaps a little bit more because of the Taliban. Insurgency is the way they went about systematically understanding how to disrupt and change a person's entire processes. And these Taliban -- is an example of how you go about to change a person from their messaging to their operations to their frontline message. And we need to understand that Insurgency may be required when [dealing with] the other side"Rep Pete Sessions went on to say:
~Rep Pete Sessions, March 2009 to National Journal
PETE SESSIONS: "If they [democrats] do not give us those options or opportunities then we will then become Insurgency ... I think Insurgency is a mindset and an attitude that we're going to have to search for and find ways to get our message out and to be prepared to see things for what they are, rather than trying to do something about them"FACT 5: Also, at the January 20, 2009 meeting they plotted to suddenly stop supporting any Stimulus Legislation, even though, they all supported Bush/Cheney Stimulus legislation. At the meeting, Rep Kevin McCarthy said
KEVIN McCARTHY: "We've gotta challenge them on every single bill. Show united and unyielding opposition to the president's economic policies."FACT 6: Remember, these same Republican members of Congress supported the very Bush/Cheney policies that caused America to teeter on the brink of the 2nd Great Depression and caused the 2007 US Economic Meltdown.
~Kevin McCarthy January 20, 2009 in Secret Meeting
Here's how they all voted:And these same Republican members of Congress:
-- "Yes" to Bush/Cheney January 2008 Stimulus
-- "Yes" to Bush/Cheney bailing out Bear Stern
-- "Yes" to Bush/Cheney bailing out AIG
-- "Yes" to Bush/Cheney TARP (sept 2008)
-- "Yes" to Bush/Cheney TARP (oct 2008)
Supported Bush/Cheney keeping cost of two wars out of the Budget.Not only did these Senior members of Congress plot to destroy the American Economy more than it already was destroyed? They actually carried out their mission:
Supported Bush/Cheney spending $4Trillion while giving Top 1% Tax Cuts; ignoring the fact that taxes pay for wars.
Every one of these Senior members of Congress have threatened Government Shutdown over things like:FACT 7: During the Debt Ceiling negotiations, Eric Cantor and Sen. Jon Kyl abruptly walked out of negotiations and refused to renew discussions with Democrats. As a result, America's credit rating was lowered which put a smile on Republican's faces.
- Funding planned parenthood,
- Raising the Debt Ceiling which, in-and-of-itself, would cause US Economic turmoil.
FACT 8: Meanwhile, the 2009 Sabotage the U.S. Economy covert meeting members, Senators: Jim DeMint, Jon Kyl, Tom Coburn, John Ensign, and Bob Corker have:
- Filibustered more Bills (over 300) than any Congress combined in US History.FACT 9: The House members who attended the 2009 Sabotage America meeting have been busy rejecting legislation that helps victims of natural disaster.
- Voted NO on every single piece of Legislation brought to the Floor including:
NO on Al Franken's Anti-Rape Amendment,
NO on Lilly Ledbetter,
NO on Fair Pay Act,
NO on Anti-Outsourcing Bill (2010)
Representatives: Paul Ryan, Eric Cantor, Kevin McCarthy, Rep. Pete Sessions, Jeb Hensarling, Pete Hoekstra and Dan Lungren have voted NO on every single piece of Legislation including:
NO on increasing FEMA during natural disasters.
FACT 10: Paul Ryan and these other same failed Congressmen have been on tv constantly chanting the lie that they were guilty of ... the lie that "President Obama's policies undermine the US Economy."
FACT 11: Other Legislation used to sabotage US Economy
Paul Ryan and the Republicans in Congress refused to negotiate or even discuss passing President Obama's American Jobs Act that independent economists claim would create 1.3 million new jobs.
Gawd forbid Eric Cantor, Paul Ryan or Kevin McCarthy support an actual Bill that would put people to work building needed infrastructure and provide funds to pay to rehire hundreds of thousands of teachers, firefighters, police officers and other public service workers that have been laid off in droves by cash-starved states.
FACT 12: Paul Ryan and Republicans blocked President Obama's 2012 Anti-Outsourcing Bill - which is a Bill to discourage the outsourcing of American jobs. Naturally, journalists in India celebrated GOP efforts to undermine American Workers.
FACT 13: The Washington Post reported that Republicans have made it clear that the Federal Reserve would face fierce Republican criticism if it takes further actions to stimulate the economy before the election. The Washington Post wrote that,
Republicans... have expressed deep concern about measures taken by the Fed to support the economy -- and could be doubly upset if new efforts goose the stock market and are perceived to work in favor of President Obama's re-election.UPDATE:
LUNTZ: I think this is such a great loss not just for Virginia, but for the country. Eric Cantor had the ability to negotiate. Eric Cantor had the ability to sit toe to toe and make concessions and make agreements. And maybe that hurt him in the primary, but that's exactly what we need in Washington, and now we're losing him ... He was also a pipeline to Americans who just wanted people to get things done. And we've lost that leadership in Washington.What a crock of crap! Frank Luntz is a GD vile propaganda minister for the GOP and as such he is nothing but a GD liar. See Fact 7 (above) where Eric Cantor abruptly walked out of negotiations and refused to renew discussions with Democrats. As a result, of Eric Cantor not negotiating, America's credit rating was lowered which put a smile on Republican's faces.
(hattip to gooderservice for the media matters link.)
Bottom Line: The media has failed ... completely failed ... to acknowledge and report that on January 20, 2009, before President Obama ever took a seat behind the desk of the Oval Office, Paul Ryan, Eric Cantor, Kevin McCarthy & other GOP Leaders literally plotted to sabotage the U.S Economy by obstructing 'the People's' work.
The People should be told the facts about that 4 hour covert meeting so the next time they know the GOP motives when they hear the GOP leaders bitch & moan & spew their BS propaganda -- talking points.
On January 20, 2009, House GOP Leaders & GOP Senators showed they hate America when they plotted against America. It will truly be a god-damn shame if voters are not told of what GOP Leaders did at that 4 hour covert meeting on January 20, 2009. All voters should see the depth the GOP will go in order to screw the American workers and f'ck over America in general.
Oh, one more thing: Good riddance Eric Cantor you American-hating vile POS.

Senior Advocate: How to appeal Social Security notice of overpayment
Q: I just received a letter from Social Security telling me I have been overpaid and must repay. I don't understand how this could have happened and don't think I have been overpaid. I don't know how to handle this problem. Can you help?
A: Overpayment can occur in either the Social Security or Supplemental Security Income program and may be caused by a number of situations.
There could have been a miscalculation in determining the benefit amount, or a duplicate check may have been issued. In other cases, resources, income or earnings may be higher than the allowable limits, or living arrangements may have changed.
If you receive a notice from the Social Security Administration saying you have been overpaid and must pay back the money or it will be withheld from future checks, you have the right to appeal. You can, depending on the situation, ask for a reconsideration or a waiver of the overpayment.
If you agree you were overpaid and the amount is correct but you cannot afford to repay it, you should request a waiver.
You should file a Request for Waiver and Recovery Questionnaire if you were not at fault in causing the overpayment and it would create a serious hardship to repay the money, or if you think it would be unfair to ask you to repay it.
"Without fault" means you were not aware you were being overpaid and are not to blame. It doesn't matter if Social Security was at fault — you just have to show you were not.
After reading the letter, if you believe Social Security made a mistake in deciding you were overpaid or in the amount, you have the right to file a Request for Reconsideration form.
Because of Social Security procedures, unless you take action within the time frame stipulated in the letter, you may be unable to appeal. All deadlines in the letter are from the date you get the notice.
Deadlines can be extended if you can show good cause for a late appeal. This can include difficulty reading a notice due to blindness, a language barrier, an illness, a hospitalization or a serious emergency.
If you file the proper response within the time allotted, the recovery of the repayment will be delayed or suspended until a decision is made.
There are several levels of appeal. At the first level, you can request a case review, an informal conference or a formal conference. If you still get an adverse decision, you have the right to ask for a hearing conference. If you receive another adverse decision, you have the right to ask for a hearing.
If your final appeal fails, you can repay the overpayment in a lump sum or have it deducted from Social Security checks. If you opt to have it deducted, you can spread the payments over up to 36 months.
To help avoid an overpayment, you should make yourself aware of restrictions on your benefit situation and make sure you inform Social Security of any changes that might affect your eligibility.

Saturn's Record-Setting Storm
October 29, 2012
Saturn's 2010 Great White Spot storm has set a new record for largest temperature change ever recorded for a storm on Saturn. By studying the monstrous disturbance using NASA's Cassini spacecraft, researchers spotted a massive belch of energy that sent temperatures soaring to an unprecedented 150 degrees Fahrenheit above normal in Saturn's stratosphere, accompanied by an enormous release of ethylene gas.

No action taken in Bleisch investigation
District had looked into complaints about principal
CHULA VISTA The investigation into a former Sweetwater Union High School District administrator has ended with no action being taken.
Robert "Bobby" Bleisch, former principal at Castle Park Middle School, was placed on unpaid administrative leave by the board of trustees July 17 for 2014-15 school year.
The decision stemmed from his previous reassignment to the planning department in February when an investigation into his behavior on campus began, according to district officials.
While rumors spread with allegations of verbal threats and inappropriate conduct, among other things, district spokesman Manny Rubio said he could not discuss the details of the written complaints against Bleisch since it's a personnel matter.
However, he said the district investigates anonymous complaints.
"We definitely take a look to see if it has some merit," Rubio said. "If there's weight behind it, then we'll continue the investigation."
Bleisch has since been replaced by interim Principal Gina Galvez-Mallari.
"The conclusion of the investigation tells us either that the claims could not be substantiated at all or that one or more claims even if substantiated didn't amount to something that violated policies or was so insignificant they didn't event warrant a letter in his file," said Bleisch's attorney, Bob Ottilie.
Ottilie was initially told the investigation was supposed to take two weeks.
In the end it took about five months, included 70 interviews and cost the district about $50,000.
"The work he did was visionary," said Castle Park Middle teacher Dan Frank. "He had a plan, he implemented it, and we got tangible results."
Frank said he's angry about the whole incident.
"Are a few people really responsible for an entire community, a staff and entire student's futures?" he said. "If he did wrong, he deserves everything he gets, but he was judged and that was enough for the district, I guess."
Frank said Bleisch's departure deflated the school.
"The way they handled it by just removing him and having the superintendent say he's on administrative assignment — everybody assumed that he was guilty of something and there was wrongdoing. They (district) didn't even prove that any accusations were substantiated. It doesn't seem like any kind of sense of justice was done."
Bleisch, 45, grew up in Chula Vista and is married with four children.
After teaching for a while, he got a job at Granger Junior High.
In 2003, Granger was one of the two lowest-performing schools in the Sweetwater district. He said that after meeting then-Principal Susie Mitchell, her vision and courage to change lives despite obstacles was inspiring.
While at Granger, Bleisch developed an academic intervention model, and from 2003 to 2012 Granger became the highest-performing school in the district and one of the top-performing schools in the state.
In 2011-12, Bleisch became the principal at Castle Park Middle and after implementing Granger-model programs saw double-digit academic gains and a 99 percent attendance rate.
U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan visited the school in September 2013.
Eric Chappel and his wife, Katalina, have a daughter who attended middle school while Bleisch was principal. "For Castle Park Middle, the leadership historically has been lacking," Eric Chappel said. "I have a job to do as a father, which is to set my kids up for success. In turn, I need them to help me and that wasn't there."

Maybin returns from 25-game suspension
Center fielder says positive test resulted from 'honest mistake'
LOS ANGELES A ruptured biceps tendon cost Cameron Maybin the first 25 games of this season. What Maybin and the Padres maintain was "an honest mistake" cost him another chunk of time.
Maybin returned to the Padres on Wednesday, having served a 25-game suspension without pay after testing positive for an amphetamine, which is banned under Major League Baseball's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program. The center fielder said his positive test resulted from a medication he used to treat his attention deficit disorder.
The problem, according to Maybin: Following a recent prescription change, he no longer had a therapeutic use exemption (TUE), which allows a player with medical needs to use a prohibited substance.
"The toughest part was feeling like I did everything I was supposed to do," Maybin said before Wednesday's game at Dodger Stadium. "I feel like I followed protocol. My only mistake was not knowing that, during a prescription change, when you have a TUE, you've got to go through the process all over again. And that was my mistake, not knowing that."
Maybin's suspension was announced on July 23. Under MLB policy, it meant that he had tested positive twice for the amphetamine. A first positive had meant that he was subject to six unannounced follow-up tests over the 12 months after the initial violation, in addition to the standard random testing.
"I just happened to have two tests within about a week of each other," Maybin said. "When you have a TUE, MLB wants to see that you're taking your medicine as prescribed. I went and saw a doctor two or three times before the test and had my prescription changed. I thought that I did the right thing. I didn't really know the specifics of having to go and get it reapproved all over again.
"I've been taking this medicine for the past three or four years," Maybin added. "I'm not a guy who was trying to gain an edge."
Maybin said that, during his suspension, he was granted a TUE for the medication that had resulted in his testing positive.
"That was kind of tough to swallow, knowing that MLB -- they reached out to me -- didn't see me as a guy who was trying to manipulate the system," Maybin said. "They really thought it was an honest mistake, but the rules are the rules."
Maybin said he considered appealing the suspension but ultimately decided against it. He said he was informed that losing an appeal could lead to missing more games.
"I've lost enough games, as is," he said, "and I didn't want to lose any more."
The Padres went 15-10 minus Maybin, who said his teammates and coaches kept in contact with him throughout his suspension. At the time the ban was levied, Maybin issued a statement, apologizing to his "family, friends, fans, teammates, and the entire Padres organization."
"We talked quite a bit before the suspension that I didn't think anything needed to be said," Padres manager Bud Black said. "He went through a lot of anguish over this."

Doctors can prescribe high-end drugs to patients, they cannot hoard them.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has started cracking down on doctors who store medicines in bulk in their clinics and later sell it to patients. According to the FDA, doctors can store medicines in a limited quantity as per the requirement of patients.
Since they cannot charge patients, doctors generally include it in their consultation fees.
FDA has dug out information from wholesalers about doctors who buy antibiotics in bulk. FDA officials have found that doctors later sell these medicines to patients. This is in violation of the Drug and Cosmetics Act and FDA inspectors can even file FIRs against such doctors.
Then there is the issue of storage. "High-end drugs prescribed by doctors need proper storage, but some doctors do not maintain the standards. Nursing homes or hospitals can separately open chemist shops with proper licence from the FDA but cannot store drugs in bulk," an FDA official said.
In Maharashtra, there are 120 FDA inspectors, 70,000 chemists and 300,000 doctors. "We can't visit every doctor... so we have contacted wholesalers to find out about doctors buying medicines in bulk and then raiding their clinics," the official said.
Mahesh Zagade, FDA commissioner, said: "We are doing random checks... Some doctors stock medicines in bulk. Many don't have proper storage facilities. The rule is a doctor can stock medicine according to patients' requirements. We are doing this in public interest."
Dr Shivkumar Utture, member of the Maharashtra Medical Council, said: "According to Medical Council of India guidelines, doctors cannot conduct business of medicines. They can only stock medicines as per requirement of patients. FDA checks are fine but drug inspectors should keep in mind that the workload varies from doctor to doctor. So, the stock volume too will vary."

It looks like everybody – the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Boston Bruins, Shawn Thornton, Brooks Orpik and the entire NHL world – will have to wait until tomorrow for a final decision on the Boston enforcer's suspension.
Several league sources indicated to CSNNE.com that it will be "almost certainly tomorrow" that the NHL Department of Player Safety comes down with a decision for Thornton slew-footing Orpik from behind, and knocking him unconscious on the ice with a pair of punches to the head. Shanahan clearly wants to put the appropriate time and thought into an important decision with regard to policing violence in the NHL world.
Orpik was back on the ice skating with his injured teammates for the first time on Friday morning. Orpik has been out since Saturday night when he suffered a concussion after getting yanked down from behind and battered by Shawn Thornton when he was already down on the ice.
Orpik was skating with Tanner Glass and Rob Scuderi prior to the Penguins morning skate at CONSOL Energy Center, and continues an encouraging string of news about his concussion recovery that began with him able to fly home with Pittsburgh following the loss to the Bruins.
There is no timetable on Orpik's return to the lineup, but Friday was a good step for him.
Thornton was undoubtedly happy to get the hearing with NHL Director of Player Safety Brendan Shanahan and the league over with on Friday afternoon, and start moving on from an incident that's put a little tarnish on a clean, honest 11-year body of work as an NHL enforcer.
The expectation in this corner is Thornton will get a 10-game suspension based on his previously clean hockey record, Orpik's encouraging recovery from what would be termed a less severe concussion and the inescapable truth that the NHL will have to deal out harsh justice for an incident that simply can't happen in NHL hockey games anymore.
Mix that all together and you get a decision for far fewer games than the deservedly stuff punishments handed out to players like Chris Simon, Todd Bertuzzi and Marty McSorley, but more appropriate for this incident given both the circumstances behind it, and the relatively minor aftermath of the ugly attack.
Thornton has already missed three games vs. the Leafs, Flames and Oilers that will count as time served toward suspension he earns from the NHL on Saturday.

Outside a far north Fort Worth station, Hunter Taylor is on the hunt for mosquitoes.
Inside a mosquito trap that he set out the night before, Taylor is looking for female Culex mosquitoes that can transmit the West Nile virus to humans. One type of mosquito, known as Culex quinquefasciatus, is also commonly known as the 'southern house mosquito.'
Taylor, 24, is one of five University of North Texas Health Science Center graduate students that are helping collect samples across Fort Worth that serve as an early warning system for the West Nile virus.
It's part of network that's been set up across Tarrant County in case West Nile starts multiplying like it did two years ago when North Texas suddenly found itself in the midst of an epidemic.

With every major city and its suburbs hosting their own auto shows, we can't be everywhere. Most major news occurs at the major auto shows, but this year, our absence will be missed at one less auto show than last year, because organizers have announced the cancellation the Barcelona Motor Show.
Following reduced participation in the Detroit Auto Show, several automakers – including General Motors, Peugeot, Citroen, and Nissan – announced they would not be participating. The decision came as a result of plummeting new car sales in Spain, which dropped a staggering 28.1% last year, and could fall as much as 23% again this year. With major automakers dropping out of the show like flies, Spain's national auto manufacturers association, ANFAC, decided to cancel. Since the country's only annual show alternates between Barcelona and Madrid, that means there will be no major show at all in Spain this year. This year the show was to celebrate its 90th anniversary.
[Source: Automotive News Europe – subs. req'd]
*UPDATE: Our man in Spain, AB Español contributor Guille Alfonsin has chimed in to let us know that he believes the Barcelona show may not be dead yet. He has just phoned their press department and was told that the show will "open its doors with or without the ANFAC brands (SEAT, Renault, Nissan, PSA, and others)."Further, Alfonsin notes that the governor of Catalunya has just gone on record saying that he plans to "meet with ANFAC members to persuade/convince/threaten them to take part on the show."

Always late. She seems to be good at diagnosis but treatment and follow through are terribly lacking.

My MRI was not read accurately failing to see a large cyst on my pancreas. I had an ultrasound performed and another radiologist fount the cyst compared it to previous MRI. It never clicked with her that previous radiologist missed the dangerously located cyst. I picked up on it at first sight of new report. Had an appt with dr she acted nothing had happened but did want me to see her assoc. to further test but continued to skirt around the Subject matter. Tried to discuss this with main clinic ADC Austin tx and they refused to formally address the matter even refused returning my calls. I would have changed my diet had I known. Eight years .

I don't know much about GI doctors, but I needed to find one after being diagnosed as a carrier for Hep B (common in those of Asian descent). Dr. Friedman and her staff were very easy to talk to and responsive to my concerns. She answered all my questions. My only complaint is that she made my issue seem very non-serious (which perhaps it is?), and came across as a little kooky. But aside from that personality quirk, I appreciated that she encouraged me to "take charge" of knowing everything about Hep B possible, printed out relevant material for me to read, and gave me guidance on next steps. Her staff was also extremely helpful whenever I called with questions in between visits.

Dr. Friedman came across as being nice, but I found out she is not very knowledgeable. Don't go to her if you have a real problem she can't figure out. She claims it is in your head.

She was also late the 2nd time I saw her, and I was the first patient of the day!

She has been an excellent doctor to me so far. She diagnosed me with 2 ailments within her expertise. One was corrected and the other is much improved and still improving. She also diagnosed me with another potential ailment outside her expertise, immediately sent me to another specialist and she proved to be correct. I ended up having a much needed surgery. I can't ask for more from a doctor than that she diagnose and treat me correctly. She and her staff have been very quick and responsive to all my needs.

Latest Video game controversy Stories
Violent video games with protagonists that hunt, maim and kill are linked to at least short-term aggressive behaviors in children, according to the first large-scale review of studies on the subject. While the effects of these highly realistic games over the longer term remain unclear, the impact on kids' attitudes toward violence is worrisome, researchers say.
By Maggie Fox, Health and Science Correspondent WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Most studies done on violence and video games support the conclusion that violent video games can increase aggressive behavior in children and adolescents, especially boys, researchers said on Friday.
Violent video games can increase aggressive behavior in children and adolescents, both in the short- and long-term, according to an empirical review of the last 20 years of research. These findings are presented at the 113th Annual Convention of the American Psychological Association in Washington, DC.
Results from the first long-term study of online videogame playing may be surprising. Contrary to popular opinion and most previous research, the new study found that players' "robust exposure" to a highly violent online game did not cause any substantial real-world aggression.

AFP hands over P19.25-M reward to 10 informers
More News from Frances Mangosing
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines — Ten informants received the reward money on Monday at Camp Aguinaldo for their information that led to the capture or death of key terrorist personalities and communist leaders.
The reward money shelled out by the military to the 10 informers amounted to P19.25 million.
Seven New People's Army leaders and three Abu Sayyaf Group members were captured or killed during focused-security operations because of the cooperation of the informants.
Armed Forces of the Philippines Chief of Staff General Emmanuel Bautista personally handed the reward money to the informants.
Among the NPA leaders arrested due to the leads given by informants was Danilo Benjamin Mendoza alias 'Rolly Panesa,' the NPA's Secretary of Southern Tagalog Regional Party Committee and member of the CPP-NPA-NDF Central Committee. He has a P5.6-million reward money on his head and was captured by joint police and military troops in Quezon City last October.
Also captured were Felimon Mendrez alias "Tatay" with a P5.25-million bounty on his head, Jesus Abetria alias "Puti" (P2.5 million), Allie Tafalla alias "Maco" (P750,000), and Alvin Orpiada alias "Bong" (P550,000), while Teofila Buralo alias "TimTim" (P1.2 million) was killed, and Lawina Salibulan alias "Wendy" (P1.2 million) surrendered.
The captured ASG members were Abdurasad Musad alias "Mokeh" (P1 million), Jaid Jawalon alias "Jaid" with (P600,000), and bomber Daud M. Rahim alias "Rahim Omar" (P600,000).
The reward system for wanted ASG leaders and members was activated on June 12, 2001, while the reward system for wanted insurgents was activated on June 30, 2006. Cohorts and other terrorist personalities were then included in the reward system in October 2007.
As many as 227 ASG personalities and 276 NPA members have been included in the Department of National Defense-Department of the Interior and Local Government Joint Orders on Reward or rewards list. A total of P140.20 million cash reward had been granted to informants for the neutralization of 115 ASG personalities from 2001 to present, and P65.73 million for the capture of 50 NPAs from 2006 to present.
