VISTA: Council may boot Lopez off government commissions
Revised sign ordinance also on Tuesday council agenda
Billboards placed on parked vehicles would also be prohibited.
Chow said the goal of the revised ordinance is to improve the aesthetics of the community, avoid visual clutter and make it easier for businesses to follow city sign rules.
Several business owners, along with officials from the Vista Chamber of Commerce, have said some of the regulations in the updated sign ordinance are too restrictive.
Bret Schanzenbach, chief executive of the Vista chamber, said Thursday that he hopes the council will remove the ban on sign spinners from the ordinance before approving it.
He said the proposed ordinance would also ban marquee signs, and marquees that already exist in the city, such as the one for Rayne Water off of Highway 78, would become illegal after 15 years.
The proposal would also prevent businesses from using scrolling electronic signs or TVs in their windows, he said.
"This is a really bad time to be putting limits on businesses' creativity and innovation to promote themselves," he said.
Vance said he wasn't sure what changes the council will make to the proposal on Tuesday.
"If you're going to be a sign spinner, you're going to be distracting," Vance said. "That's the whole purpose. I'm not particularly in favor of sign spinners, so I'm not sure what I'm going to say at the time."

"Press on to greater achievements in the future", part of the Optimist Creed, is particularly applicable to the Optimist Club of Coronado. This special club has been doing just that since its founding in 1970. The club is somewhat unique in the entire Optimist International organization. It has had a different member serve as president every year since its' founding in 1970 – no repeats. To be asked is an honor; to serve is not only a lot of work, but is also personally satisfying. We wish President Bruce Johnson all the best as this remarkable club continues its outstanding service to the youth of Coronado. This vibrant club, 148 members strong, wishes to publicly thank Mark Blumenthal for his leadership, energy, creativity and great sense of humor.
A capable Board of Directors assisting Bruce for the coming year are: Vice Presidents Mike Napolitano and John Watson, Directors Ken Ireland, Cynthia Kosciuczyk, Cote Perkins, Lynz Arendsee, Jim Zoll, Dennis Dorman, Secretary Clyde Arends, Treasurer Clint Coneway, President-Elect Diana Drummey, and Past President Mark Blumenthal. We thank them for their willingness to serve.

Captain Ken Ireland USN (Ret) spoke to the Optimist Club about the goals and accomplishments of Islander Company. 118 students are cadets in the program which focuses on developing leadership skills, academic excellence, physical fitness and teamwork. Three representatives of the unit, Cadets Angela Ahern, Jacob Blauser, and Tess Woodson, also spoke about the opportunities, enjoyment and satisfaction each has experienced as a cadet. Post high school military service in the military is not a focus of the program; however, some of the cadets do opt to enlist in the military or gain a commission. In the ten years the program has been at CHS many cadets have received service academy appointments or ROTC scholarships. Islander Company participates with Coronado Optimists in the strand clean-up. The Optimists salute the performance of this outstanding unit!
Optimist Youth Appreciation Award Winners for 2014 – May 1, 2014
"A Joy to Have in Class!" These words by CHS Assistant Principal Steve Abbot accurately describe each of the students who received these prestigious awards given annually by the Optimist Club of Coronado. The awards are presented to one boy and one girl in each class who best exemplify those qualities expressed in the Optimist Creed. Concern for others, cheerfulness and doing your best in all phases of school life are but a few of the character traits of these outstanding students. The Optimists salute them, their parents and teachers. You make Coronado proud!
Freshmen: Kristofer Leslie & Siobhan Homan
Sophomores Lucas Darquea & Carson Ricks
Juniors: James Harbaugh & Jordyn Kastlunger
Seniors Israel Dedina & Isabella Cuellar
Principal Kevin Nichols spoke about the optimistic attributes of Frankie Slattery and Brooke Anns, the students nominated for the awards, with equal appreciation for what they brought to the class. Of particular note were the recent challenges faced by Frankie, who was injured in a bike-auto accident in Coronado. His fighting spirit has been instrumental in a recovery process that is proceeding well. An unusual happening took place at the Optimist meeting – Frankie's Fan Club came to also recognize him! They, along with Frankie's mom, cheered loudly when Frankie received his award. It was a moment to remember.

Young and talented orators Eugenia Dominguez and Max Kunes were First Place Winners in the Optimist Oratorical Contest and will compete at the next level with the winners from four other Optimist Clubs in San Diego. The Second Place Winner was Samantha Russell; Third Place Winner was Natalya Gomez. The four winners are students at Sacred Heart Parrish School. Other students who competed were: Ariana Martin, Sofia Rubio, Ivana Letayf, Carolina Salome, Gabriella Ryan and Adelaide McCargill.
This year's topic was, 'How My Passions Impact the World'. Ten students accepted the challenge to participate and all the orators excelled in their prepared speeches. Each speech was between 4 and 5 minutes long and points were awarded for content, delivery, poise and overall effectiveness. It was evident that extensive preparation had been done by all the contestants. The three judges had a most difficult time because of the high quality of every speech given.
To follow one's passion in life is one of the keys to not only happiness but also to making great contributions to fellow human beings in the process. The passions of which these fine students spoke included; helping others in need, education and teaching, leadership and public speaking, technology to help advance the human race, music and singing, photography, physical and mental health. The importance of striving, accepting challenges as opportunities as well as integrity, empathy, kindness and character were addressed in all the speeches. The parents and teachers in the room, hearing and witnessing the positive outlook of these outstanding students, were both proud and inspired.
The Optimists want to thank the students, parents and teachers who all participated in this wonderful event this year. These Coronado students are remarkable. We are privileged to have them in our community.
Burrowing Owl Eagle Scout Project Sponsored by Optimists
Photo: Optimist Pres Ahern, Scout Rafael Uribe, Optimist Scout Coordinator Ted Krohne
Eagle Scout candidate Rafael Uribe recently described his outstanding project to the Optimists.
He became aware that endangered Burrowing Owl has a major need. This particular owl is a cute little brown and white bird that burrows under the ground during the day. Their burrows have been threatened, the number declining significantly in recent years.
Rafael obtained a design for an underground shelter along with a materials list. It is a fascinating design using common building materials. It will be fun for the scouts to build. Between 8 to 12 shelters are planned for installation at NAS North Island.
Projects like these are wholeheartedly supported by the Optimists because of their obvious merit, not only to those being served, but also for the positive growth experience of all the scouts involved in completing a project.
Optimist International President Salutes Coronado Optimist Club as Best in the California South District
Optimist International President J.C. St. Onge and a host of California-South District officials recently visited the Coronado Optimists Club at a Thursday morning meeting here in Coronado.
He spoke of what the very best clubs have: great fellowship, outstanding service projects, support from their community, success in attracting new members who come with new ideas that refresh and regenerate. He noted with pleasure the high quality of the Optimist Club of Coronado and recognized it as being the best in the California-South District.
President St. Onge's home is in Canada. He related how he became active in his home club, the results of the efforts of that club in getting great support from the community, his leadership roles from club, to district, to international levels. His one-year tour as the OI President has him traveling to all parts of the USA and Canada. The Coronado Optimists were pleased he was able to visit. As he looked out at the beautiful view from the Coronado Community Center, where the Optimists meet every Thursday morning, he stated that he now understood why the club was so successful! The Optimists agreed, we do indeed have a beautiful town, and that includes the people, too!
Optimists Sponsor 'On Applebee Pond' Puppet Shows for Youth

Dianne Baldwin and Andrea Webster of the PACE Program in Coronado presented an opportunity to the Optimists to sponsor, On Applebee Pond, a series of puppet shows for the students of Coronado schools.
The focus of the puppet shows is development of good character — while having fun.
Dianne came with a prepared script and puppets and enlisted the help of Optimists Bruce Johnson and Mike Napolitano in a show demonstration. It was funny and fun for all. The puppets' actions show kids how to handle, in a positive way, challenging situations they often face while growing up.
Following the demonstration, the Optimist Board voted to provide $5000 to support this wonderful activity. About 1000 students per month will see the shows. The Optimists know the kids will love it and hope they will relate to their parents the messages they will learn. It should make for some great discussions at the family dinner table.
SDSU Head Football Coach Rocky Long came to speak with the Optimist Club of Coronado, sharing his message, "Team First& Hard Work".

Getting to the Coronado Optimists' 7AM Thursday morning meeting was easy for Aztec coach Rocky Long. He normally gets up at 4:30 AM and is in his office about an hour later, leaving work around 9 PM.
Speaking to a full house, he told everyone present that he was an 'old-school' type of coach. He insists that his coaching staff provides mentoring, maintains discipline and sets high standards with the focus always being team first & hard work. He said that it is the same method he has used in all of his years of coaching and the difference between winning seasons and others is due to the talent and dedication of the athletes.
During the lively question and answer session, he stated that football has changed a lot over the last twenty years and that most rule changes have been made to increase scoring. "In the old days, when a ball was in the air, both offense and defense players had equal rights to the ball. Now, the defense can't hardly touch the receiver without getting a penalty". He stated that all coaches want a great quarterback, big and strong and fast linemen, and that at the high school level, most of the top athletes play on both offense and defense. He believes in letting his quarterback make a lot of play-calling decisions because he is at the scene of action. He stated making an open field tackle of a fast, agile runner is the most difficult task in football.
The Aztec's recent win over Boise State in Boise was the first time in Aztec football history of a win over a ranked team on the opponent's home field. In 1977, Don Coryell's SDSU team beat highly ranked Florida State University here in San Diego. Both were monumental wins.
It was a rousing Optimist Club meeting with a great speaker!
U-T's Kevin Acee Sports Journalist Tells Optimists, 'A New Day Has Begun For The Chargers'
Photo: Optimist Pres. Ahern and Kevin Acee
Kevin Acee covers the San Diego Chargers for the SD Union-Tribune. Living in Fallbrook, he had to get up early to be at an Optimist meeting starting at 7:00 AM in Coronado.
He spoke of the changes taking place in the news industry, from papers to the digital communications age. His children seldom read a paper, getting almost all of their news from their cell phones. It is a problem faced by all print media. The Copley owners were aware of it. The private equity group who purchased the U-T from the Copleys was aware of it, and current owners Manchester and Lynch are aware of it. The stories must still be created so there should always be a place for writers.
Kevin related an interesting fact regarding print media vs. the internet, twitter, etc. With print media, one seldom gets feedback regarding how many folks read what is written. With the 'new' media, there is almost instant feedback. The 'number of hits' are available, not only to writers but also to bosses and owners. Good stories do not necessarily receive a lot of hits, and that can lead to coverage of only 'popular' sports subjects.
Kevin spoke candidly to those present about the challenges he faces writing about the Chargers. His strength is that he develops close relationships with those involved – owners, coaches and players. He job is to write candidly and honestly about what he observes and what he is given access to. That is sometimes unpleasant. He will often give a 'heads up' to an individual who may read of his 'less-than-expected' performance.
The change in personalities and styles between the new and the old Charger's GM and Head Coach is dramatic. He thinks it will have a big impact, the results of which will be shown in seasons to come, and he thinks the change is positive.
He also stated the current stadium is a major issue for the Chargers and opined that, without progress being made on that issue, he feels their move to LA is probable – driven by the financial side of the sports business.
The Optimists have had several media persons speak and all have demonstrated the gift of telling interesting stories. Kevin's remarks and willingness make an early morning meeting are much appreciated.

Johnson Wins, Fans Lose in Brickyard Tire Debacle
By Todd Golden, The Tribune-Star, Terre Haute, Ind.
Jul. 28–It was a dream day for Jimmie Johnson, but a nightmare for NASCAR, Goodyear and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Johnson won the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard on Sunday, his second career Brickyard win, but it was a race mutilated by problems caused by excessive tire wear.
The race was littered with nine NASCAR-enforced competition yellow flags, as well as several tire failures early in the race, including violent tire disintegration on the cars of Juan Pablo Montoya and Matt Kenseth.
The race took 3 hours, 28 minutes, 26 seconds to finish. The average speed was 115.148 with 52 laps run under caution.
Most drivers said the tires had no more than 10 laps of green-flag running before they began to deteriorate.
"The last two laps of each run were not fun. I was hanging on and praying that the right rear didn't blow out. There were a couple of runs where I could really feel it vibrate," driver A.J. Allemendinger said.
Runner-up Carl Edwards admitted that the tire wear meant there were very few instances during the race where he ran full bore. He also admitted that the uncertainty over tires was disconcerting.
"In practice I was making sure my belts were tight and I knew where the SAFER barriers were," Edwards said.
The cause of the tire failures vexed NASCAR and Goodyear, the series' tire manufacturer. NASCAR has had trouble with tire wear since the Indianapolis Motor Speedway's surface underwent diamond-grinding in 2004. The conventional wisdom was that the track surface would "rubber in" after the cars turned several laps. That's what happened during the last three Brickyards, which ran without major tire problems.
However, NASCAR's Car Of Tomorrow, used at Indianapolis for the first time, creates more wear on the tires than the previous car due to less downforce. Combined with the abrasive surface, it was a recipe for disaster.
"Obviously, the tread wear didn't improve as we thought it would over the course of the afternoon. We don't have the answer is to why that happened," Goodyear director of race tire sales Greg Stucker said.
NASCAR anticipated problems before the race, bringing in 200 sets of tires intended for use at Pocono next week. Pocono is the track that most closely resembles Indianapolis when it comes to tire wear. NASCAR allotted each team 10 sets of "Indianapolis" tires before the race, hoping it would not need to revert to the Pocono tires. It was the first time since Dover's 1994 race that Goodyear brought tires not intended for the track they were designed for to a different venue. The Pocono tires were never used, but most teams used up nearly all tires allocated for Indianapolis.
The first caution occurred on lap 4 as Michael Waltrip got loose entering turn 2 and was hit by Paul Menard. The second came on lap 14, just before NASCAR's first mandated competition caution, when Kurt Busch spun coming out of turn 1 and collected Kevin Harvick.
NASCAR elected to have another competition yellow at lap 32, but tire trouble came to Dale Earnhardt Jr. on lap 25. Earnhardt Jr. led 11 laps after he had pitted during the Waltrip-Menard accident, so he had 20 laps on his tires at the time his tire went down.
NASCAR adjusted its competition yellow flag plan, pushing it back to lap 30, but not before Juan Pablo Montoya's tire disintegrated on the front left side on lap 29 in turn 2. Montoya's incident brought out its own yellow flag, which NASCAR counted as its second competition yellow.
NASCAR scheduled another competition yellow for lap 47. There were no incidents until lap 46 when Matt Kenseth's right rear tire exploded on the backstretch, taking much of his right rear quarter-panel with it, leaving shredded tire tread and debris littered on the backstretch. During the same lap, Carl Edwards also appeared to have a less severe tire problem.
After Kenseth's violent tire failure, there was major concern on the part of the NASCAR brass and teams.
"[The track] never really did take rubber, so I got really mad in the middle because they were letting us run until the tires were blowing up. I was like, 'You can't put us in this situation,'" Jamie McMurray said.
Competition yellows were flown on laps 64, 81, 97, 121, 138 and lap 150. Most drivers expressed relief that NASCAR accelerated the amount of competition cautions in the second half of the race, even if it gave the fans few green-flag laps to get excited about.
"As soon as we got the cautions are when I needed it. I could feel it, I was about to wreck if we didn't have the [competition] caution," Denny Hamlin said.
Johnson led 58 of the first 120 laps before Hamlin took a chance with a two-tire stop during the competition yellow on lap 121 to lead 26 laps late in the race.
After the last competition caution, Johnson took two cautions and made up several spots to take the lead on the last restart. He was joined by Carl Edwards in a duel for the race win. Edwards threatened Johnson on the restart, but couldn't get past him.
"I ran like hell, that's all I could do. I was on two tires and didn't have the grip I would have liked, but I held him off," Johnson said. "I'm so stoked. It's been a tough year, we've had our butts handed to us a few times, it's nice to get back with a win."
NASCAR vice president of competition Robin Pemberton regretted the way the race turned out, but thought fans would understand.
"If they're good fans, I'm sure they understand that things like this happen," Pemberton said. "If you're a good fan and you don't get what you want, it's OK to be disappointed. We'll learn from this experience this weekend and do better when we come back."

Niamtougou Things to Do
The only reason we stopped in Niamtougou was the market. It is a huge market selling everything from food through to household goods. It is a sprawling affair alongside the main road and down off one of the side roads. The order of the day it to negotiate a price if you want to buy something.Related to:
- Road Trip
Niamtougou Transportation
The transport of choice, and sometimes the only transport available as we found out when we tried to get a taxi, is the motorbike. It really isn't recommended in terms of safety – there are no helmets, the roads are full of potholes and however good your driver is, other road users take very little notice of motorbikes.
If you must use them, haggle for the fare before you get on.Related to:
- Road Trip
Niamtougou Shopping
Fetish market
Many markets in Togo had a section for fetishes. These are the items used in potions and for healing the sick, by the witchdoctors and witches in the area. I don't pretend to understand, I just accept that this is the way it is here.more
Oil lamps
It never ceased to amaze me how ingenuititive (I think I might just have made that word up) the local people are. I have said it several times: waste not want not. These oil lamps are fashioned from discarded food cans. Much cheaper than making them from 'new' metal and much more sustainable. We have a lot to learn from the African in the west!more
This is probably a lot healthier than the western counterpart, as these natural toothbrushes are disposable and biodegradable. I didn't actually try them, but did try some similar ones in Mali some years ago and they worked a treat! It just shows that you can still have impeccable personal hygiene without the modern trappings.more
Niamtougou Local Customs
African handbags
This is the equivalent of the ubiquitous handbag in England or purse as it is known in the States. No self-respecting Togolese would be seen without one! Everything and anything is carried in these shallow metal bowls: shopping, sales goods, laundry, water, food…….the list is endless!more

There will be a lot going on this Saturday at the Circle K in Elkin.
The store and the surrounding property will host a yard sale from 7 to 11 a.m. and a Racing for Kira fundraiser from noon to 4 p.m. to benefit Kira Bray and her family.
Kira, now a quadraplegic, was injured Jan. 26 in a car accident. She suffered a vertebrae fracture in her neck. She has turned 6 — in February — since the accident.
After being released from Levine's Children Hospital in Charlotte April 15, Kira is now at home.
The money raised Saturday will help both parents go to Philadelphia when Kira goes to the Shriner's Hospital for observation. The observation will hopefully provide a treatment to improve Kira's quality of life.
Kira's father, Joel, said the family has learned to adjust to life after the accident. "We just kind of take things as we come to them," he said, adding "the community has been really supportive. We appreciate it more than they know.
"We just can't get out there and tell them."
"They've really helped out with everything," Kira's mother, Sherry said.
Joel said Kira had a Princess Party Tuesday night. "It was great to see a smile on her face," he said.
During the Racing for Kira fundraiser, cars that run and the drivers who run them at Friendship Motor Speedway will be on hand. There will be 100 gift bags for the first 100 children who come. There will be balloon pops (courtesy of Big Lots), a duck pond, and a dunking booth to name a few of the events.
"We have a lot of good things going on," said Donna Anen, who works at the Circle K and is the wife of Friendship driver George Anen. Anen said items to be raffled off include T-shirts, gift certificates, tools, jewelry, die-cast cars — "a lot of things donated by local businesses."
The drawings will take place at 3:30 p.m. Ticketholders need not be present to win, Anen said.
"I want to thank all the race car drivers for showing their support for her," Joel said. Many drivers at Friendship Motor Speedway have "Racing for Kira" written inside of a heart on their cars. Bray drove in the SeCA Late Model class until this season.
The Circle K is located on the southeast corner of CC Camp Road and Johnson Ridge Road — across from Lowe's.
For additional details about upcoming fundraisers supporting Kira Bray, contact Regina Adkins at 336-466-1458 or Stephanie Hollbrook at 336-452-9320. A Facebook page also has been set up where friends and supporters can share information regarding the upcoming fundraisers for Kira. The Facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/pages/Upcoming-fundraising-events-for-Bray-Family/403014276501589.

The 6 Best Supplements You're Not TakingThese secret weapons can help balance your hormones, detoxify your body, lift your mood, boost your energy and more.
POWER BENEFIT: Relieves symptoms of PMS and peri-menopause and may be helpful for some kinds of infertility.
THE SCIENCE: A shrub in the verbena family, chasteberry bears a fruit that has been used medicinally for centuries. As the name suggests, it was once thought to dampen sexual desire; its also called monks pepper, since brothers in orders reportedly chewed the dried berries to decrease libido. Contemporary studies have found that the herb can help regulate hormones, and it has become a standard European treatment for premenstrual syndromeits especially effective in helping decrease symptoms of cyclic breast tenderness and fibrocystic breast disease.
Chasteberry can be particularly helpful during peri-menopause, when the hormones can go completely crazy, explains Edwards. During this time, progesterone levels often start to decline before estrogen levels fall, which can lead to depression, headache, bloating, fatigue, irritability, and breast tenderness. Unlike creams that introduce progesterone from an outside source, chasteberry helps the body increase its own natural levels of progesterone, notes Edwards. It may also be helpful for infertility caused by high levels of prolactin, since chasteberry can suppress the release of this hormone from the pituitary gland.
HOW TO TAKE IT: One 400-milligram capsule daily.
CAVEATS: Discontinue if nausea, rash, headache, or agitation occurs. Chasteberrys influence on hormones can interfere with the effectiveness of oral contraceptives, and its effect on prolactin makes it inadvisable for women who are pregnant or nursing.
POWER BENEFIT: Improves cholesterol profile.
THE SCIENCE: A compound made of two vitamins in the B family (niacin and inositol), this is considered the best-tolerated form of niacin supplement. Also known as vitamin B3, niacin is a natural agent for lowering cholesterol levels. But at the high doses necessary for effectiveness, other available formsnicotinic acid and nicotinamideoften cause unpleasant side effects. People can experience flushing, like a massive hot flash, or liver problems, advises J. David Forbes, M.D., founder and director of Nashville Integrated Medicine in Tennessee and a board member of the American Holistic Medical Association. Inositol hexaniacinate is better on both counts, with fewer people experiencing flushing and liver toxicity. Sometimes marketed as no-flush niacin, the compound can have comparable benefits to statin drugs, lowering LDL cholesterol by 5 percent to 25 percent and triglycerides by 25 percent to 50 percent, and raising HDL by 15 percent to 35 percent.
HOW TO TAKE IT: Start with 500 mg twice a day, and gradually increase over two weeks to 1,000 mg three times a day.
CAVEATS: Skin flushing is less likely but still possible. Taking inositol hexaniacinate with meals reduces the chance of stomach upset. At the high doses needed to lower cholesterol, there is a risk of serious side effects, including liver damage and stomach ulcers. Any niacin product should be taken under the supervision of a health-care provider, who can check your liver function periodically. Niacin is inappropriate for people with liver disease, gout, peptic ulcers, glaucoma, or a bleeding disorder. Check with your physician if you're already on cholesterol medication, since combining niacin with a statin could increase the risk of side effects.

If successful, target gets -5 to attacks and skills till end of X7's next turn. If missed, they receive a -2 to attacks and skills till end of X7's next turn.
X7 is a variant in appearance to the DRK-1 Probe Droid on Threats of the Galaxy page 149 with two retractable arms with three fingered hand manipulators. Usually the arms are folded onto the side of the unit coming from the diagonal "Trenches" to the lower left and right in the DRK-1 picture. The droids weapons are actually concealed in the droid body so they don't appear as anything special on the body.
The only thing the X7 has in common with the DRK-1 Probe Droid is appearance and primary duty. It however is based on an entirely custom droid brain created over a number of years by Sarah Myn Halcyon. The original droid brain started as a thesis project and over the years has evolved into her constant companion.

Will Cherry last week, Kareem Jamar this week. Very cool. Our sophomore sensation was named Big Sky Conference mens basketball player of the week today. Well, duh! :-) :
Justin Green has been named running backs coach for the University of Montana Grizzlies. Green, 29, who is from San Diego, Calif., and was a student assistant coach at Montana last season, replaces Mick Delaney, who retired recently after an outstanding 44 years of coaching
He played linebacker so he loves defense.
I love football. It was my favorite sport in high school. I played linebacker on an 8-man squad. So when U-M head football coach Robin Pflugrad named Ty Gregorak his Defensive Coordinator I was excited
If not, I can go brighter! It's not every day I get to wear a Hawaiian shirt courtside at a Grizzly basketball game! In fact they want everyone to wear them:
Here's the latest sports news from Montana's News Station KPAX: Montana Griz tied for first place, Carroll College releases schedule, a million fans honor Giants and more.

Comedian Gaffigan savors New Year's in Milwaukee
Pasty comedian Jim Gaffigan has become such a New Year's tradition in Milwaukee that Point Brewery in Stevens Point bottles a special beer in his honor for the shows - aptly titled "Jim Gaffigan Pale Ale."
This will be the sixth year that Gaffigan, 46, performs at the Pabst Theater around New Year's. Beside the fact that tickets continue to sell well (he's playing three shows from Saturday through Monday this year) there's another important reason why he keeps coming back. »Read Full Article

Baldwinsville Marianne Miles has been photographing just about everything that has happened in Baldwinsville since she moved here 16 years ago.
Early this spring she was contacted by Gate3Design, the graphic designers who were involved in redecorating the Applebee's Restaurant on Route 31 in Clay. They really hit the jackpot when they tracked down the photographer whose work graces most of the village websites' homepages.
After purchasing more than 150 pictures from her, the designers created several collages to adorn the walls as wallpaper, posters and framed prints.
The grand re-opening and re-decorating celebration was held at the facility last Wednesday, Sept. 5.
Stop by and maybe you'll see yourself in one of the crowd shots at the Polar Bear Plunge, Memorial Day Parade, Rotary's Seneca River Days or the Carp Tournament.
When asked about the display Miles said, " After seeing the many school sports pictures that went up, which I did not take, I was afraid that there wouldn't be room for many of my photographs. Amazingly, there are two entire walls made of about 90 percent Milescapes Art & Photography shots, several poster collages and about 40 framed prints."
"And the entire area is represented - not just B'ville," Miles continued. "There are scenes from Fulton and Liverpool, too. What a wonderful idea for Applebee's to feature our communities this way!"

Students Getting Free Lunch
Of course it's the schools fault. Of course all of the teachers are making your child miserable. Makes total sence...oh wait....maybe just maybe it's the KID!! And perhaps just by chance a severe lack of parenting...or knowledge of your own kid. Gotta love " not my kid" approach...sigh. And Bloomberg blames the teachers...that's funny!!!!
I have to say, when the teachers in this school have a certain student they like to assume is wrong in every way whether they are or NOT, and all the time, they do not let up on that child for nothing! They become constantly petty, ridiculous and annoying and right away accuse that child for doing something wrong, instead of listening and fixing the problem in a rational way themselves. They are all on power trips and insulting kids bringing down their self esteem, and they make parents like me count the days for it to finally be over! Another thing is the air conditioning issue; there is no air on any other floor but the 1st, which is completely unfair, especially since heat rises, and completely unhealthy. Kids are literally getting sick and sent home. Is this better than actually doing something about getting air conditioning installed on all other floors? I don't think so! I heard this has been an on-going issue for a long time but still nothing has been done about it. Once again, ridiculous. IS72 should really make some important changes and maybe the school rating will finally go up!
I am a seventh grader on the first floor and in a SP class. This school is absolutely fantastic! All the teachers are so nice, and they are extremely good at what they do. They are supportive of us students, and they make our lessons fun. The principal is also great! He knows most of the children in the school by name. Yes, the school has over 1,000 children, but there is power in numbers. When there are fights, they are broken up quickly and no one ever gets hurt. We students have great subjects/topics to learn such as: Math, Science, Social Studies, English, Italian/Spanish, Health, Computers, Journalism, Band, Music History, and Law Study. We students also go on a lot of great trips. The school is organized, and there are great programs such as ARISTA (The National Junior Honors Society). The 7th and 8th grade students in the SP classes receive the chance to take their freshman year of high school science, social studies, math regents and foreign language proficiency, enabling them to not have to take these classes and tests in high school if they pass. how great is that!! All in all, fabulous school. I'm actually kind of sad that I am leaving in a year! :'(
I'm a student in the 6th grade SP of the school's 3rd floor. I must say, they should change the GreatSchools rating to a million, because this school is amazing. The teachers are amazing, and although there are fights they are broken up quickly. The amount of extracurricular activity makes this school stand out. The teachers teach correctly and have excellent methods that flex with students. I just love this school because of the new challenges and adventures we have everyday!
I am a student in 6th grade SP on the first floor. This school is really good even though there may be some fights it is resolved very quickly. Im sure there are fights in most other schools also. All the teachers are very nice. Also, there are so many extracurricular activities. Another thing i like about this school is if you get an overall average of 90 or above, and have good behavior you get i to Arista. In Arista you get to go on alot of trips.
I'am very pleased with this school. I'am a student there and I think that this school is very helpful. Although there are fights, they always know how to end it. There are police officers roaming around the building, so you always know not to get in trouble. So far, with my grades I'am very happy. The teachers are very nice and I can tell they care for all their students. I also like how they give you rewards for the good work that you have paid off. I'am in the 2nd floor SP and 6th grade. They really encourage you to work harder all the time.
These people probably force the children to submit the votes for the Maximum Ride contest...
they're looking to find ways to get more programs into the school - that's a school that cares
i feel the school has great teaching techniques.
IS 72 (Officer Rocco Laurie) Is a very good school - I have a 7th grader and he has so come to his own- The school makes sure that the children know what is expected of them so there are no surprises. The school is run perfectly - I couldn't be happier. Principal cares for every child and his school and it shows.
My daughter is in 8th grade SP on the 2nd floor and my son is in the 6th grade SP on the 4th floor. I am please with their education thus far and their teachers are wonderful. Yes-the school is overcrowded and there are fights - but this is JHS and kids are at very tough ages. If children want to learn and behave... they will. There are 'animals' everywhere. I am very happy with IS 72! Great teachers and a wonderful principal!!!
While I understand the IS 72 is now on the list of failing schools. I have to say that my child has been doing well. He loves going to school. He loves most of his teachers and friends. In my opinion, IS 72 is a good school.
Ii feel teachers should call parents when a 8th grader is failing a class last period before its to late to do anything about .Some teachers should stop sitting on thier hands and help the child who are not going to graduation because of thier 1 class . Parents should not be notified 2 weeks before graduation that their child is not going .Dont misunderstand me my is responsiable for failing be any chance kids think they are getting away with something they are going to take . I just wish the school notied me. Sincerly, a very disappointed family mr. &Mrs vargas
When I moved to Staten Island three years ago I was very concerned about the school system. My mother in law and most of my husbands family were Staten Island school teachers for many years and all had the same opinion. The schools in SI were all terrible. I was concerned about I.S 72 even after researching the school ....... My daughter attended I.S 72 for two years and graduated without a problem. My son graduates from I.S 72 soon and I look forward to my youngest child going there too. I must say this year I hear about many more fights but they are quickly diffused by school authorities but academically its a joy. My only pet peeve is that they begin at 7am and the rest of my kids are in 8am schools. Overall I give it 4 stars!!!!!!!!
The school would be a four because of all the extracurricular but their are just to many in school fights.
The teachers are delightful. I would love to say thank you to Mrs. luardi, Ms. Rogers, and Mr. Friedman for being such great teachers. The environment might not be so great, but the teachers are amazing.
I want add my words of appreciation for some of the teachers at this school.Mr. Sweeney is such a wonderful teacher, He makes his class interesting and the kids love learning. My son loves this class, I get what I call 'the sweeney report' each day. My son comes home excited about something they talked about in class and tells me all about it. In 6th grade I used to get 'The Sestan Report' for the same reasons. Ms. Gleavy, Ms. Armenia, Mr. Savich are great teachers and he was lucky to have had them. The school I would say is average but some of the teachers are above average.
This is a great school although it is way too over crowded.It is cool that most of the teachers have smart boards and I like almost all of my teachers.It's not that the teachers don't teach us things , but it's just that they need to make their lessons a little more fun. -Anonymous
This school offers a lot about the needs of a school. Although the enviroment may not be the best, it is a great school
I. S. 72 offers an excellent curriculum. Most of the teachers are very good, however substitutes cannot control the class. Many students are out of control, probably due to the school being overcrowded. The students who want to learn, learn a lot. I would like to see more art, sports and preforming art programs. The PTA is wonderful, but needs more parents. There are way to many children per teachers(35 or more to a class). The school is only mediocre.
The teachers are okay. Ms.Armenia on the fourth floor academy is amazing.She is so inspiring my grade went from a 71 to a 85.She will help you with anything.
former student
I'm a high school student now and to tell you the truth if it wasn't for is72 I would not be where I am now. If you have to consider a good school in staten island I would definitely recommend rocco laurie junior high school
This School is horrible and overcrowded. The teachers do not know how to get the kids interested in the subjects and the many of the children are entirely disengaged.
This school is an overcrowded zoo. There are fights everyday and it is very difficult to maintain an academic environment. The school is so overcrowded that some students eat lunch at 9am.
I think this school deserves an award .It is very disiplined and lovely. I go to this school and it is very educated. I hope it will stay this way for as long as I live. I.S.72 Is the bestin every way. I love it.
Rocco Laurie is a good school depending on the floor your child is accepted into. I have a son in 8th grade and a daughter in 6th grade who attend the fourth floor. The floors are academies that focus in a certain area. This is the academy of arts and humanities. I am so pleased with this academy as now they offer a drama program. They are preparing for a huge production this spring. My daughter has never been more excited. They both love school. The teachers in this academy are incredible. Both of my children's reading and math scores improve tremendously each year. The 6th grade teachers are just wonderful. Mr. Sestan is the social studies teacher who all the kids just love. He is a great teacher. Ms. Armenia for English, Ms. Santiago for Science, Mr. Sweeny for English all just wonderful
IS 72 is a great school because each floor is separated into its own academy, and the children basically stay on their floor, alieviating the problem of crowded hallways. Each academy has its own dean and assistant principal, making for much more student familiarity. Each floor has SP classes, and the floors are separated by the language the student chose as an incoming 6th grader: 1st floor ITALIAN, 2nd & 3rd floor SPANISH and 4th floor FRENCH. The school currently offers afterschool classes in Math A and also English and Math. There is also UAU basketball available in the evenings on Tues and Thurs. If your child is not a problem, he/she should have no problem if he/she is looking for trouble I am sure they can find it anywhere. Great school. 3yrs ago I was a nervous mom, now she is graduating with great memories. Thanks IS72!
I.S. 72 is the best school in Staten Island. My son goes to this school as a 7th grader and loves everything about this school. The teachers are very nice, helpful and caring. I.S. 72 is the most populated school in Staten Island. Even though it is, each and every child is respected and cared for. My son is so happy in this school and is eager to go to scool everyday. There are fights but the principal and staff are always there.
Terrible School. My daughter is always in fights. They should rename it Rahway Correctional Facility!

"These new wind power plants, enough to serve the equivalent of 400,000 homes, coupled with investment in 17 new manufacturing facilities over the past year and a quarter, show that with consistent policy support America's wind industry can deliver the goods in terms of clean energy and new clean technology jobs," said AWEA Executive Director Randall Swisher. "But if Congress does not act quickly, this momentum could be derailed at the worst possible time for the economy, placing 76,000 jobs and over $11.5 billion in investment at risk. While 2008 is shaping up to be another great year, we could see a very different story in 2009 as uncertainty looms over investment in wind power projects and manufacturing due to the continuing delay in extending the production tax credit (PTC)." The PTC is the primary federal incentive for wind power; it expires at the end of the year, along with incentives for other renewable electricity sources.
The new wind power facilities installed in the first quarter span 10 states and bring total U.S. wind power capacity to over 18,000 MW, or enough to serve the equivalent of five million homes. Texas added over half of this new capacity and now has well over 5000 MW installed. Over 4000 MW of projects are now also under construction nationwide.
Additionally, AWEA reported an increase in the share of U.S.-made wind turbine components, from less than 30% to approximately 50% in three years. Prior to 2005, AWEA estimates that less than a third of components were manufactured domestically. But the relatively stable availability of the PTC since August 2005 has allowed U.S.-based supply chain providers to begin establishing a much stronger foundation of domestic manufacturing for turbine components, which range from towers and blades to gearboxes, bearings, and electrical and electronic components.
AWEA estimates that, by the end of 2008, approximately half of turbine components for turbines installed in the U.S. will be produced domestically. In 2007 and early 2008, at least 17 manufacturing facilities have been brought online or expanded in the U.S., creating over 4000 jobs and $500 million in manufacturing investment.
Adjustment to final numbers for megawatts of wind power installed in the U.S. in 2007 show a slight increase to 5249 MW, up from the 5244 MW announced in January. Since actual installed capacity for natural gas was less than expected in 2007, new wind power facilities in fact made up close to 35% of the entire new power generating capacity added in the U.S. last year, up from the 30% initially reported in January.

Birth weight and the insulin resistance syndrome: association of low birth weight with truncal obesity and raised plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 but not with abdominal obesity or plasma lipid disturbances

Aims/hypothesis. To distinguish the physiological disturbances related to birth weight from the cluster of disturbances called the insulin resistance syndrome.¶Methods. Men participating in a population-based study in Uppsala, Sweden, with recordings of birth weight, were metabolically characterised at age 50 (n = 1268) and re-investigated at age 70 (n = 734). Blood pressure, BMI, glucose and insulin concentrations are associated with birth weight in this cohort.¶Results. Birth weight was inversely associated (p < 0.03) with subscapular:triceps skinfold ratio (truncal fat), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) activity, specific insulin and proinsulin-like molecules when adjusted for BMI. Birth weight was not related (p > 0.10) with waist circumference, serum triglycerides or HDL cholesterol. The insulin resistance syndrome was defined as the combination of hypertension, insulin resistance and dyslipidaemia. The prevalence of this syndrome at age 50 and 70 was inversely related to birth weight with odds ratio 0.66 and 0.71, respectively, per kg increase in birth weight. When the syndrome was defined to include truncal obesity or raised plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 instead of dyslipidaemia, the corresponding odds ratios were 0.51 and 0.66, respectively.¶Conclusions/interpretation. Low birth weight predicts high blood pressure, insulin resistance, truncal obesity and high plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 activity but not the abdominal obesity or dyslipidaemia present in the insulin resistance syndrome. The cluster of disturbances associated with low birth weight is a subset of the disturbances that are clustered in the general population as the insulin resistance syndrome. This subset of physiological disturbances is possibly linked by a specific pathway. [Diabetologia (2000) 43: 54–60]

Final Score: Toronto 98, Orlando 83
Toronto, ON (SportsNetwork.com) - Kyle Lowry scored 30 of his 33 points in the first and third quarters and the Toronto Raptors led wire-to-wire in a 98-83 win over the Orlando Magic on Wednesday.
Amir Johnson added 22 points and 11 rebounds and Jonas Valanciunas scored 14 with 15 boards for the Raptors, who have won four of five. They were without leading scorer DeMar DeRozan (ankle) for the second straight game.
"A talented bunch," Magic coach Jacque Vaughn said of the Raptors. "Athletic and long, even without DeRozan."
Nikola Vucevic returned from a 12-game absence because of a concussion and had 16 points and 10 rebounds to lead Orlando. Jameer Nelson scored 13.
The Magic went 0-3 on a road trip after beating the Lakers for one of their two wins since Dec. 29. They have dropped 10 in a row on the road and are an NBA-worst 3-21 outside of their building this season.
Lowry scored 17 points in the first quarter and added 13 points in the third quarter.
He scored at least 30 points in back-to-back games for the first time in his career. He had 31 in a win over Brooklyn on Monday, the team's second this month over the red-hot Nets.
Lowry was 5-for-5 on 3-pointers and 6-for-8 overall in the first quarter and the Raptors shot better than 54 percent as a team for a 33-20 lead. His last two 3s in the quarter capped a 20-10 run that pushed Toronto's lead as high as 14.
"He stepped it up. He set the tone in the first half with his 3s," said Raptors coach Dwane Casey. "Just his aggressive play means a lot."
The Magic were within nine in the second quarter before Steve Novak made consecutive 3s for a 15-point Toronto lead. The Raptors led by as many as 17 and carried a 55-40 advantage into halftime, shooting 11-of-14 as a team from beyond the arc.
Nelson made back-to-back 3s to punctuate a 12-4 burst in the third quarter as Orlando cut a 16-point deficit to eight, but the Raptors scored nine of the next 11 -- Lowry hit a 3 -- to extend their advantage to 15.
It grew as high as 19 and was 80-65 going into the fourth quarter. Orlando never got it to single digits in the last 12 minutes.
Game Notes
The Raptors start a five-game road trip at Denver on Friday ... The Magic play Milwaukee at home on Friday ... Toronto is the only team to beat the Nets so far in January.

The annual plan for Gujarat for 2012-13 was finalised on Friday at Rs. 51,000 crore at a meeting here between Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia and Chief Minister Narendra Modi. The plan outlay marks an increase of 34 per cent over the previous fiscal year.
In fact, the plan size agreed upon was more than what was proposed by the State government. "We proposed a plan size of Rs. 50,000 crore, but the Commission thought that we can do well above that. They found it appropriate to fix the outlay at Rs. 51,000 crore," Mr. Modi told the media after the meeting.
Initiating the discussion on the State's performance during the year gone by, Mr. Ahluwalia pointed out that while Gujarat has been registering robust growth, the human development indicators were not matching the pace of economic progress. He noted that more attention would be necessary for achieving sustainable growth in agriculture and for addressing the problems of malnutrition and school drop-out. The State, he said, would have to further promote public-private partnership (PPP) in infrastructure development as the Centre was aiming at a 50 per cent share for private sector investment.
While lauding the State's plan performance, the Commission drew the government's attention to emerging trends in human development indicators. It was pointed out that the child sex ratio (0-6 years), though improved marginally by three points in Census 2011, is still low at 886 against the all-India average of 914. These figures are even lower than the State's average in districts such as Surat, Mehesana, Gandhinagar, Rajkot, Ahmedabad, Anand, Amreli, Patan and Bhavnagar and these problems need to be addressed.
Likewise, the health sector is also in need of focused attention, Mr. Ahluwalia said. Besides, the share of agriculture and allied sectors in the GSDP (gross state domestic product) is steadily declining from 16.1 per cent in 2004-05 to 12.7 per cent in 2010-11.
Briefing the Commission, Mr. Modi said the State had an excellent track record of double-digit growth over the past several years and stood committed to provide better healthcare to the poor and vulnerable sections. Several successful initiatives had been taken during the Eleventh Plan to reduce infant and maternal mortality rates and for strengthening healthcare services.
