Originally written on Fox Sports South | Last updated 6/20/12
Jason Heyward has teased and taunted us with his talent for more than two years. He can hit home runs that are tracked on radar. He can outrun line drives to his left, right, in front of him or over his head. He can throw out any runner at any base. He can't leap tall buildings in a single bound, but his jumping ability and long arms have been known to snare balls destined for the seats. And his left-handed swing is so smooth and perfect that it should be one of the natural wonders of the world. Sometimes Heyward manages to harness all his tools and innate ability and puts together a performance that leaves our jaws on the floor. Sometimes he wows us with his immense skill set and makes the game look so easy, you wonder why he can't do it every night. That's exactly what Heyward did on Tuesday. Forget about his early base-running blunder, there's no way the Braves snap the Yankees' 10-game winning streak without Heyward's legs, bat and arm. "He can change the game in so man...

Please join us on October 21st as we celebrate 25 years of giving every child a great start and share our vision for continuing that mission. We're excited to announce that our speakers this year are Drs. Pat Kuhl and Andy Meltzoff from our partners at The Institute for Learning and Brain Sciences (I-LABS).
The Luncheon is at Fisher Pavilion at the Seattle Center on Wednesday, October 21st from 12:00-1:15. Doors open at 11:30.
There is no charge to attend but a suggested donation of $150 is encouraged. All gifts are greatly appreciated and are tax deductible. Gifts of $500 or more will be matched. If you are unable to attend but would like to make a gift in lieu, you can click here.
Dr. Patricia Kuhl is the Bezos Family Foundation Endowed Chair for Early Childhood Learning, Co-Director of the UW Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences, Director of the NSF-funded Science of Learning Center, and Professor of Speech and Hearing Sciences. She is internationally recognized for her research on early language and brain development, and studies that show how young children learn. Dr. Kuhl's work has played a major role in demonstrating how early exposure to language alters the brain. It has implications for critical periods in development, for bilingual education and reading readiness, for developmental disabilities involving language, and for research on computer understanding of speech.
Dr. Andrew N. Meltzoff holds the Job and Gertrud Tamaki Endowed Chair and is the Co-Director of the University of Washington Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences. A graduate of Harvard University, with a PhD from Oxford University, he is an internationally renowned expert on infant and child development. His discoveries about infant imitation have revolutionized our understanding of early cognition, personality, and brain development. His research on social-emotional development and children's understanding of other people has helped shape policy and practice.
Dr. Meltzoff's 20 years of research on young children has had far-reaching implications for cognitive science, especially for ideas about memory and its development; for brain science, especially for ideas about common coding and shared neural circuits for perception and action; and for early education and parenting, particularly for ideas about the importance of role models, both adults and peers, in child development.

Careers program graduates ready to be hired!
Since 1998 the Child Care Careers Program has provided intensive skills-building and support for participants to build sustainable careers in early education and care. Participants engage in 12 weeks of rigorous, focused instruction that far exceeds minimum state early learning licensing requirements. 14 graduates completed the program in Winter 2015 and are ready to be employed in child care centers or family child care homes as high quality early childhood educators. Generous funding from United Way of King County as well as private funders allows us to provide this course FREE of charge to qualifying participants. Learn more…
Careers program graduates have completed:
Child Care Careers graduates increase the availability of high quality, culturally-relevant early education and care in King County. Careers class participants are immigrants and refugees who speak another language in addition to English, so they can enhance the diversity of languages that your young children are exposed to in your care setting, supporting early brain growth. The Spring 2015 Child Care Careers Class has just begun, and some participants are still seeking child care internship placements, particularly in South King County.
Child Care Centers or Family Home Child Care Providers interested in hiring a Child Care Careers Graduate or hosting a Child Care Careers student intern should email Trudy Mossop or call 206-329-1011 ext. 287

Important early learning issues are being considered during this legislative session, and your voice is critical. The legislature is considering the Early Start bill (HB 1491 and SB 5452) which ensures that all children get the start they need in life by supporting and sustaining Early Achievers, Washington's quality rating and improvement program. Child Care Resources is very involved in supporting child care providers to improve their quality through Early Achievers and to inform parents of the assessments of the provider quality to support their choice of child care. Tell your legislators today that you believe high quality early learning is important to support children's development and school readiness and to reduce the opportunity gap before it starts. Ask your legislators to support the Early Start bill.
The Governor's budget* included Parent-Caregiver Support, which funds work by Child Care Resources and Child Care Aware of Washington with parents and family caregivers. More than half of the children in Washington are cared for by parents or other relatives, and CCR helps them to prepare children for success in kindergarten and reduces the opportunity gap. Ask your legislators to support funding for Parent-Caregiver Support.
The Governor did not propose funding for Child Care Aware of WA Family Center. The Family Center provides customized child care referrals to parents, educates them about quality in child care and provides them with information about paying for child care. The Family Center helps parents to make an informed choice of child care to ensure that their children are supported in their early learning and succeed in school. During 2014, CCA of WA provided referrals and education to more than 16,000 families with 23,00 children. Seventy percent (70%) of callers to the CCA of Washington Family Center are from parents with low incomes who want to use child care subsidies, information that is not readily available from any other source. The Family Center provided 700,000 referrals to early learning professionals in 2014. If these referrals are not made, child care providers will not benefit from referrals to their programs, and many businesses will suffer. Ask your legislators to support funding in the budget for the Child Care Aware of WA Family Center.

*About the Budget
The Governor releases a budget at the beginning of the legislative session, and in February or March the House and Senate release their budgets. This year, the Governor released his budget, which had generous funding for early learning. Now is the time to make sure that the House and Senate also fund early learning.
Everyone is talking about Early Learning and Preschool right now and Child Care Resources is a key part of that conversation. We have been working since 1990 on improving the access to and quality of care in King County and Washington State. Here are some of the recent articles about CCR's involvement in the community.

The Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences (I-LABS) at the University of Washington is leading the way in research on early brain development. They are building an online library of resources for early learning professionals, parents, caregivers, policymakers, and interested community members. CCR is excited to partner with I-LABS to share this critical early learning information with the families and child care providers that we engage with every day.
Each online module explores a specific topic in early brain science, such as imitation and language acquisition, and nests it within the larger landscape of child development. All modules are free and are designed to be appropriate for use in everyday interactions with children, as well as for informing system-level programs and policies.
The library of online training modules can be viewed at http://ilabs.uw.edu/outreach-modules

Child Care Resources' Kaleidoscope Play & Learn program was recently awarded Promising Practice designation by the University of Washington's Evidence-Based Practice Institute. Kaleidoscope Play & Learn earned the designation by building the program on sound theory and foundational research and by producing evidence through evaluation that shows consistent, positive results for program participants.
Kaleidoscope Play & Learn is a program of weekly, facilitated play groups for young children and their Family, Friend and Neighbor caregivers and their parents. In the groups, families learn about child development and what they can do to support their children's learning at home and in their neighborhoods.
"Kaleidoscope's success and Promising Practice status is the result of the good-thinking and vision of dozens of community partners and funders and thousands of families who helped us shape and develop the program over the last 10 years," said Lisa Conley, Kaleidoscope Play & Learn Program Coordinator. "It's been an incredible and inspiring process to work with such committed and innovative people who were willing to try new ideas, learn and try again until we found what works best for children and families."
From the outset, Kaleidoscope Play & Learn has measured its impact on the families it serves. ORS Impact has been our evaluation partner from the start.
"It has been amazing to see Kaleidoscope Play & Learn go from an idea that was being experimented with to meet the needs of underserved families and communities around Seattle to where it is today -- a program that can be implemented with confidence that makes a real difference to children and their caregivers," noted Sarah Stachowiak, ORS Impact CEO and one of the founding members of Kaleidoscope's evaluation team.
Tanya Laskelle, Family Support Services Director at Center for Human Services, has also been part of the team since the beginning. Tanya started as a group facilitator and now manages the Center for Human Services' nine weekly Kaleidoscope groups. She hears from families about the positive impact the program has on their lives and the lives of their children.
"We receive such overwhelming feedback from our participants that Kaleidoscope Play & Learn is such a good fit for them because it impacts the entire family," Tanya observed. "The program meets families where they're at. It takes them on a journey that connects them with resources, ideas and experiences that lead to their child's school readiness and build parents' and caregivers' confidence."
To learn more about Kaleidoscope Play & Learn, click here.
Since 1990, Child Care Resources has helped to build a strong early learning system for all children in King County. We work with families, caregivers and early learning professionals, and collaborate with community partners to ensure that every child has a great start.
We are a trusted resource for families seeking child care. Our team of experts is available by phone or email to help families explore their early learning options and to make informed choices about this important decision.
We partner with early learning professionals as they develop high-quality care. Through coaching and professional development, we help early learning teachers increase the quality of care available for all children.
We are a collaborator, advocate and data resource in our community, ensuring everyone understands the value of early learning and growing support for key policies that support quality early learning.

Mismaloya Things to Do
Walk all the way up to El Eden
From the highway it's about 4 KM... going up the hill is a little tough, it takes much longer than coming down the hill. You can always try to get a ride, you'll just miss the point of walking... which is enjoying an amazing scenery, just walking by yourself along a small road through something quite close to a jungle. It's beautiful. The views of the mountain are breath-taking.
When you start the walk next to the Mismaloya River... you can't miss the hanging bridge, it may be silly... but it's cool to cross it and take some nice pictures. A few block ahead you'll find three different tequila distilleries, the tequila is just okay... but it's cool to see the old way of making tequila, to see the agave plants and the whole process. Then you go next to the zoo and you keep going.
There's a point in the middle of nowhere... you're gonna see a closed restaurant called "Chinos" and right before that, the fence between the road and the river will be open. You can get to the river up there and believe me: you'll love it! It's an area where the river creates a small space like a very small lagoon right between two little falls (kind of white-water falls)... the water is seriously cold, but who cares... go take a bath in paradise! There's no one around, no one watching... it's just amazing.
And then... when you get to El Eden, you'll find another restaurant where "Predator" was shot. There's even a helicopter left from the movie...Related to:
- Mountain Climbing
- Adventure Travel
- Hiking and Walking
The beach...
There's a little street going down to the beach right next to the Barcelo Hotel... it goes all next to the river, you'll see plenty of fishermen's boats, handcrafts stores and after a few blocks you'll get to the beach. There are some seafood restaurants on the sand and if you keep walking, you'll find at the very end some stuff left from an old movie (filmed in the 60's ot 70's) called something like "The Night of the Iguana".Related to:
- Beaches
- Hiking and Walking
- Adventure Travel
Canopy Tour @ El Eden
Mismaloya is about 30 or 40 minutes south of Puerto Vallarta, it has pretty much the same style... with all the hills and the beautiful beach. In this case, Mismaloya is just a tiny town with a few big hotels... but it's popular because is the place to go and do the famous canopy tour, that sport where you basicly fly (kind-of) long distances just hanging from a rope between two trees.
If extreme sport is your thing... you can't miss it!Related to:
- Adventure Travel
- Bungy Jumping
- Mountain Climbing
Mismaloya Restaurants
El Jacalito: Best Food in Mismaloya
This casual palapa style restaurant is family owned. It may not look like much on the outside but trust me and go in. We did at the recommendation of someone who lives at the condo we're staying at and we're so glad we talked to her. Everything on the menu is 99 pesos - about $8-$9 and our dinner was honestly the best I had all week for half the price. Don't overpay at some of the more 'well known' restaurants when you can get a great meal for less and help a small business thrive.
Favorite Dish: The huge combo platter of grilled shrimp, chicken and steak was delicious as well as the rice and veggies. It even comes with free cake and ice cream for dessert. Drinks were very reasonable - $1.25 beer and $4 margaritas and came with great chips and salsa.
My Tony: GREAT seafood!!
Don't let the sleepy little village of Mismaloya fool you, nor the unassuming restaurant. Sand floors on both levels and no windows to obstruct your views of Mismaloya and area. Tony and his son Herman run a very nice restaurant with an emphasis on seafood but I know they have other items.
Herman presented his "menu" has a cookie sheet showing off all their fresh seafood items. It was so impressive, we just told him to pick out a selection and that seemed to work out perfectly.
Nachos and a very good salsa to start, warm nochos and cheese for a second course (both were complimentary), the "main event" finished off with a very impressive "My Tony" special coffee, also complimentary.
Happy hour 5-7 and the ladies were pretty happy with the Margaritas!!
Might be considered pricey but we only had seafood. I know there are less expensive items on the menu. Seafood platter for 4 cost us about $160 with drinks and a couple of desserts.
The meal was so good we wwent back two days later to try it again. Rest assured...the first one wasn't an accident and the second was equally good. Second meal ran us about $75 for my wife and I so pretty much the same price as the first.
Cabbed there the first night and then felt so guilty about the short trip for the cab...paid him $5 for his trouble. Walked back to the resort after dinner.
Favorite Dish: Bacon wrapped giant prawns and the coconut shrimp.Related to:
- Romantic Travel and Honeymoons
- Food and Dining
El Eden: Meet the Predator!!
It's on the hills, next to the Mismaloya River, in the middle of nowhere... but where "Predator" was shot years ago. The menu is basicly lot of seafood... after walking all the way up there, I only had a cold beer (Indio was my choice)!!
But if you get there... besides the food, don't miss the river. It makes a small but beautiful water fall right nexy to the tables... gorgeous!Related to:
- Jungle and Rain Forest
- Birdwatching
Mismaloya Transportation
Bus from Puerto Vallarta
You can get here with an excursion and pay a lot of money... or you can take the public transportation and pay only $5 (something like 45 or 50 cents of a US dollar). If you decide to take the bus, you must take it somewhere in Puerto Vallarta's southern downtown area... I don't know the streets, but if you ask around... everybody knows where it leaves.Related to:

A Message from Israel
"The ultimate quandary of statecraft centers on Iran."
9:10 AM, Sep 21, 2010 • By WILLIAM KRISTOL
Widget tooltip
Get alerts when there is a new article that might interest you.
As such, the Book of Jonah can be read as more than morality play, but also a cautionary tale about the hazards of decision-making. It is a type of political primer, if you will, what the medieval thinkers called a Mirror for Princes. The Talmud teaches us that, in the post-Biblical era, the gift of prophecy is reserved for children and fools. In modern times, we don't have prophets—pundits, yes, but no prophets. Instead we have statesmen who, like Jonah, often have to make fateful decisions for which they will bear personal responsibility. If not a paradox of prophecy, these leaders face what we might call the quandary of statecraft.
Take, for example, the case of Winston Churchill. During the 1930s, he warned the world of the dangers of the rapidly rearming German Reich. The British people ignored Churchill– worse they scorned him, only to learn later that he was all along prescient and wise. But what if Churchill had become Britain's Prime Minister five years earlier and had ordered a pre-emptive strike against Germany? Those same people might have concluded that the Nazis never posed a real threat and that their prime minister was merely a warmonger.
Or consider Harry Truman who, shortly after assuming the presidency in the spring of 1945, had to decide whether to drop America's terrible secret weapon on Imperial Japan. Today, many people, including some Americans, regard the dropping of the atomic bomb on two Japanese cities as an act of unrivaled brutality, but what if Truman had decided otherwise? What if the United States had invaded the Japanese mainland and lost, as the US Army estimated at the time, more than a million GIs? Truman, the decision-maker, was either the butcher of Japanese civilians or butcher of young Americans. Either way he lost.
Related Stories
The quandary of statecraft: every national leader knows it and few better than Israeli leaders. They, too, have had to make monumental—even existential—decisions.
On May 14th, 1948, Zionist leader David Ben-Gurion had to determine whether to realize the two-thousand year-long dream of Jewish sovereignty in the land of Israel. But, by doing so, he risked an onslaught by overwhelming Arab forces against a Jewish population half the size of Washington, DC today armed mainly with handguns.
Another example: my personal hero, Levi Eshkol. On June 5th, 1967, Eshkol had to decide whether to unleash Israel Defense Forces against the Arab armies surrounding the Jewish State and clamoring for its destruction or whether to alienate the international community and especially the United States and be branded an aggressor.
Ben-Gurion's decision resulted in the creation of the State of Israel and Eshkol's in the immortal image of Israeli paratroopers dancing before the Kotel. Nothing is inevitable in history and in both cases the outcome might have been tragically different. Like Churchill and Truman, Ben-Gurion and Eshkol confronted the quandary of statecraft.
They also have to answer to their citizens. Unlike the prophetic leaders of antiquity, presidents and prime ministers are not selected by God but rather elected by the majority of their peoples through a democratic process. In America, the system was modeled on the Roman Republic in which citizens empowered senators to represent them in the distant capital. In tiny Israel, with its multi-party consensual style of democracy, the model is not Rome but rather ancient Athens. The American president, it has been said, represents 300 million constituents; Israeli prime ministers represent 7 million prime ministers.
Israeli democracy is rambunctious and intensely personal, placing the premium on individual participation. In our family, I can attest, my wife and I have never voted for the same party. Our son also went his own way politically. Together with his friends, he started a political party in our living room that now holds two seats on the Jerusalem municipality.
At 62 years old, Israel's democracy is older than more than half of the democratic governments in the world, which, in turn, account for less than half of the world's existing nations. Israel is one of the handful of democracies that has never succumbed to periods of undemocratic rule. And Israel has achieved this extraordinary record in spite of the fact that it is the only democracy never to know a nanosecond of peace and which has endured pressures that would have crushed most other democracies long ago. In a region inhospitable—even fatal—to government by and of the people, Israel's democracy thrives.

That sucks. Merck had a very good career and you never want to see it end on an injury.PHILADELPHIA -- Apologies for my late arrival, I've been out most of the day.
First, the bad news. It sounds as if Kent Mercker's 20-year professional career probably came to an end last night. He apparently believes he blew out his elbow, and if that's the case I imagine he's done for good.
Pending a more thorough examination, Mercker was placed on the 15-day DL and veteran left-hander Chris Michalak called up to bolster a completely worn-out bullpen. Michalak, 35, hasn't pitched in the majors since 2002, but he has been very effective as a starter for Louisville this year, going 9-5 with a 2.99 ERA. If EZ gets in trouble early today, he'll probably get the call.

I don't agree. We all knew that in order for Walt to keep breaking bad & go farther down that dark road, Gus had to die & Walt would be the guy to do it
And that's what happened. Was that predictable? I suppose so. Was it awesome? You bet your ass it was
Besides, Jesse was never Walt's apprentice. He is his foil, & he was his accomplice. In fact, Walt chose Jesse because Jesse had
experience in drug dealing. I actually hope it isn't as simple as a shootout though
I still think Walter foiling himself would be better poetic justice than having Jesse off him. If they had wanted to play that card, they should have addressed it earlier somehow. And at this point, bringing the old Broc thing into the mix would be a little too farfetched given how efficiently Walter disposed of that evidence.
I will grant you that whatever ending they choose should be exciting as hell and awesome, but Breaking Bad has made a habit of doing what makes sense rather than doing what people want. I would like to see the writers and producers continue this trend to the end.

The people who help facilitate on-time deliveries for cargo carriers are package handlers; large companies that ship large quantities of goods each day also employ package handlers. The handler's main job is to load and unload packages, boxes, and general freight from trucks or other delivery vehicles.Read More...
The vast majority of package handlers work at the end of the shipping process in local sorting facilities. They may be tasked with loading delivery trucks according to the freight company's guidelines for weights and shapes of cargo. The handler may also unload incoming freight trucks at such a facility, helping to sort the offloaded cargo for final distribution onto the trucks. At larger companies that ship a high volume of goods, the package handler has a similar role. They work in a warehouse sorting packages by destination and then loading them onto freight vehicles for longer-distance transportation to hubs or local sorting facilities. For all employers, the package handler is expected to work quickly and against par loading times to achieve maximum efficiency.
Package handlers do not typically need much formal education, although the ability to read and write is important. Handlers perform physical labor and must be able to comfortably lift packages that may weigh as much as 50 to 100 pounds. They also typically need to lift from a variety of lifting positions. This is typically an entry-level position that begins as part-time shift work during day or evening hours. Promotion usually involves gaining more hours and working more daytime shifts.
Federal Express Corporation (FedEx) pays the most with a median salary of $26K, though there is little variation overall ($20K to $32K).
United Parcel Service (UPS), Inc. doles out the lowest salaries in town — median pay is $22K — not to mention workers can only make as much as $31K and scope of pay is rather limited.
Package Handlers typically list a handful of skills they use on the job. Sorting and Packaging are considered valuable skills and can increase employee pay.

O.K., I guess the answer is that using the lens and adapter on your website the answer is NO, there are no limitations, you just don't have any indoor samples posted. I asked because I thought indoor close-ups would be the most popular use of this lens and head adapter.

The private room was a bit cold at night and out towels couldnt dry at all. The timer use for the shower was unclear, and it would be good to have a waiting list on the door as in the shower for the dorms, so you don't have to sit outside and wait . The room was clean and quiet. Staff very helpfull and location perfect for hiking.

Very good
"On arrival there was a problem with the beds in the room we needed 3 there were 2 but this was soon was sorted out, beds were comfortable rooms very clean, to upgrade room was expensive. I felt more interaction from the animation team during the day could encourage young people to get more involved. The shows on an evening were very low standard. Trips taken out of the hotel were great . All in all I would come to this hotel again not in august as the first week the weather was awful raining and cold . Hotel was clean food could not be faulted it was excellent "Rating: 7,0

One of few where you can get a decent piece of meat for a decent piece of gold. Good, really good parrillada. And nice people.
Posted by liz miami on 09/21/2011
I will never eat in that place again. The poorest customer service in all of Miami. The waitress overcharged us, and then when i spoke to the manager he claimed it was not a mistake and then asked us if we didnt have the money. Outrageous! It was strictly out of principle, it was only a $2 difference. I work in a huge office, and I've made sure that no one else will ever eat there again either.

Amazing food for lunch or dinner
Posted by miss.ticky&mr.pig on 02/04/2009
La Parrilla looks different in it's new location (bad lighting, too many empty tables) and although it's delicious steak probably didn't change, we considered not going in. We finally did, and found that the garden in the back was still as intimate as we'd remembered! We ended up eating here 2 nights in a row. Order the 1/2 steak, with side of fries and a glass of wine. The cheese app. and sausage app. are divine! Bonus: there is no rush to turn the tables.

This is a very sad story right here. I do agree with the statement "if Amari's dad was in jail he would still be with us today." Amari's dad had been arrested 45 times is a bit on the ridiculous side if you ask me. What happened to 3 strikes and you are out rule? What makes Amari's dad special that he wasn't put away for a while since his excessive arrest record. I want to believe that our justice systems are there to rehabilitate those that are entering them but this just makes me believe that they are so full there is no one being rehabilitated. I hope too that they find the other gang member that shot and killed Amari is put away for a very long time. Maybe they can make an example out of him so the other gang members can learn a lesson. But I know that is wishful thinking at this point.
Jay Fulk's comment, July 6, 7:02 PM
That's quite an interesting topic. I've never thought about traders and financiers having too much testosterone, but I can see it being an issue for some. Being "manly" can get in the way of logical thinking and reasoning at times. Why not on the trading floor?
William Estrin's comment, July 7, 5:34 PM
This article does not surprise me. I have always known that an excess of testosterone has been linked to impulsivity and irrational behavior. Basically, men are by nature more impulsive, irrational, and obviously more crime-prone than women. A low level of testosterone is more ideal in my opinion to, in a sense, keep men from being men. Banking and trading stocks requires a lot of patience over a period of many years, to be done right. Therefore, it does not surprise me that impulsive financial moves, even at the Wall Street level can be attributed to high levels of testosterone. Of course, not a lot of sources are going to be willing to admit that. No one wants to know that the reason they lost all their investments were because the guys on Wall Street had a little much testosterone pumping through their bodies. Like I said, I believe it is important in men with high levels of testosterone to find a way to lower it in order to essentially keep men from being men. I believe it boils down to our biology. Men are wired to hunt and women are wired to nest. Hunting involves a lot more heat of the moment risk taking, while nesting is an art that requires patience. I believe those genes follow us to this day and that's why a lot more men than women are irrational and impatient. Unlike primitive times, our society requires sophistication and patience and thus men need to tone it down a bit.
Bethany McNutt's comment, July 6, 1:04 PM
I think we are all really quick to judge illegal and even legal immigrants. We think, "They are going to take our jobs", "there won't be enough jobs for Americans", "they are here illegally, what else will they do that is illegal", "they are here illegally so they need to commit crime to get by" etc. However, I watched a recent ted talk which was very thought provoking and it opened my eyes immensely. The video essentially revolves around human rights and the idea that we should think to ourselves, "what are they running from". The fact of the matter is that we should look to see what these people are running from, rather than getting upset for them being here. The numbers of increased dead bodies that they have found just in the last 10 years along the border is absolutely astonishing and really helps paint a picture that these people would risk death than continue living in Mexico. I left the link down below for anyone who is interested in watching it. It gave me a whole new perspective on immigration and the Mexican border.
William Estrin's comment, July 7, 5:04 PM
This was a very interesting article to read. I did not realize that on the shores of the beach, there were gaps in the fence that allowed someone to cross the border. I figured that along the entire U.S./Mexican border, from southeast Texas to the West Coast of California, that there was a 20 foot tall fence along every inch of the border and that there were no gaps in any of the wiring. I figured that border patrol security was so tight that any gaps in wiring would be detected and fixed almost immediately. I didn't realize that in some places the gaps or parts of the fence were corroded or missing. Even though I'm a firm republican and against illegal immigration, I have to say that the story and the pictures were kind of cute. Since it was only kids, it doesn't really concern me. Kids will be kids and to be honest, if I was a kid in that situation, I'd probably do the same thing! However, while I do believe that kids will be kids, we cannot send the message the border security is a laughing matter. But that article did bring me a chuckle. It's interesting to note that I recall on an episode of the National Geographic series, Alaska State Troopers, they documented how some people living in villages extremely close to Russia, would cross over the frozen Bering Strait into Russia during the winter. It was mostly kids on snow machines and obviously the Russian authorities were not amused. But people liked doing it just for the thrill of it.
William Estrin's comment, July 7, 5:18 PM
@Bethany McNutt - I understand your human rights concerns and I am also compassionate to those suffering and in pain. However, the United States only has so many resources, jobs, etc. and they have to spread those limited resources among the entire population. And if there are too many people in the population, we will all suffer. Think of what happened the night the Titanic sank and there weren't enough lifeboats for everyone aboard. After the ship sank, there were approximately 700 people safely in lifeboats, while another 1,500 people were left in the freezing cold water to die of hypothermia and drowning. While the people in the lifeboats were surely heartbroken hearing the screams of the other 1,500 people (in some cases their husbands and other family members) who were dying, they didn't go back. As much as they were sympathetic, they realized that if they went back and rescued everybody, they would have all scurried into the lifeboats, the lifeboats would have sank and then everybody would have died. Despite pleas to humanity, they knew they had to leave the others behind in order to save themselves. I think it's kind of the same concept here. I'm really sorry that life is so poor in your country, but if we let everybody in who's suffering in another country, we're all going to flounder. What are your thoughts on this?
Jay Fulk's comment, July 5, 7:31 PM
I have mixed feelings on this one. I do see the point of having such a clause in the laws about disposal of trash. I, however, do not agree with the charges being brought as misdemeanors. I think that he should face a fine and lose hunting privileges for a year or two. At the end of the day, these are just animals and they were on his property. I grew up in Ketchikan, so having black bears in our trash was not uncommon. We never shot a black bear for getting into our trash though.
Jay Fulk's comment, July 6, 6:55 PM
This debate about the confederate flag is really starting to get on my nerves a bit. It seems that we live in a country full whiny babies. I have absolutely no opinion whatsoever about the confederate flag. I understand its history but I could care less if someone chooses to fly it. I think that its a bit unpatriotic to fly a flag that once represented a severed United States. Anyways, people need to grow up. I saw a truck today with a Seattle Seahawks flag flying in the back.....well that flag offends me greatly, so I think we should ban it.
Jay Fulk's comment, July 6, 7:33 PM
After reading this article, I am a bit shocked at the number of police calls to one single house. It's obvious that something has to be done, but I'm not sure that seizing his home is the right way to go. I think a force-sale would be more adequate. If he's forced to sell the house, then the new owners can bring respectability back to the property. The guy's defense is pretty pathetic. He honestly thinks that the neighborhood just hates him for no reason? With that much police activity, I would just force him to sell the house or have it seized if he doesn't agree to it.
Jay Fulk's comment, July 6, 7:34 PM
A force sale would then make sure that he financially benefits from his investment.
Angela Perry's comment, July 6, 8:51 PM
This is truly a sad story and all because of some failed communication. First I want to know how Mr. Sanchez didn't know that he shot someone. Then to come back and say that you were shooting at sea lions. A sea lion? What in the world would you be trying to shoot at sea lions from a busy pier anyways. Deported 5 times and still made it back into the US. They should use this man to find out how he keeps making it back into the US and use this intell to stop further illegal immigrants from entering the US. I mean he has done it so many times i sure he could find his way back with his eyes closed. I understand that everyone wants to be an American and live the AMERICAN life but for crying out loud just do it the proper way. As for the miscommunication that went on, i think this is a common occurrence that goes on more so than not. Because if the communication was there mishaps like this would not be reported on like they are so often. One or two I can understand but the reporting of failed communication between agencies is not so few and far between. I do like how the Steinle family is trying not to dwell on the deportation of Mr Sanchez because they know it is not going to bring back their dear daughter Kate.
Jay Fulk's comment, July 5, 7:27 PM
I actually really like this idea! I would feel much better knowing that my wife could meet someone outside of the police station, rather than our home. We sell things on craigslist sometimes, and I usually meet people at my office during the daytime. I feel like being in a public place during the middle of the day is perfectly safe. This just gives the seller and buyer more comfort with the transaction. I don't think that anyone should sell things at their home and in the evening. Those two things are recipes for disaster.
Rob Duke's comment, July 5, 7:38 PM
Yup. Millions of satisfied customers in eCommerce, but all it takes is one (and there've been enough incidents to make this a legitimate concern). This is an interesting idea, though, to shine some transparency on a quasi-legitimate marketplace. I think we're wise to figure out ways to tame these markets.
William Estrin's comment, July 7, 5:49 PM
This article is of particular interest to me because I often dab in Craigslist. I buy and sell stuff on Craigslist, I've searched for and obtained jobs off of Craigslist, I've found rooms for rent on Craigslist, and yes I've even met a couple of women from personals on Craigslist. While Craigslist has an infamous reputation for serial killers, it is definitely the exception, rather than the norm. But that doesn't need you don't need to be careful. I am extremely careful and I always go with my gut. If something about the person or the situation seems off, I don't do it. There are plenty of times I didn't go through with something, because something didn't seem quite right and it's better to be safe than sorry. If I meet with someone to buy or sell something, I always meet in a public place indoors or outdoors and always during the daytime hours. I am always on high alert and if I'm buying something, I don't bring any more cash than what was agreed upon. I always make sure to agree on the price beforehand. This would seem like just everyday common sense, but all too often, I read stories about people who naively put themselves in dangerous situations. Each time I read one of these stories, I always mentally pinpoint each mistake that they made along the process. I guess as the old saying goes, common sense isn't always so common. As far as the article goes, I think that what they're doing is actually a great idea. Most people will not break the law if they know they're on camera, so that definitely adds an extra degree of security. I'd be curious to know the success of this program as it continues into the future.
Angela Perry's comment, July 6, 9:05 PM
I am so glad that Ms Brittany was able to make a choice about her life and not left in the hands of a doctor. I know that practicing doctors don't always get the answer right of how long you have to live but the flip side is they can say you are going to live this long and expire before the month end. I too know that I would like to go to a state that allows doctors to prescribe me a legal dose to take me out of my misery. I don't find this a selfish act in anyway because only the person with the illness knows what pain they are experiencing. So why should a doctor be able to say yay or nay to a terminal illness that you may no longer have the fight inside of you to keep on living like you are. I was really surprised to see how many other countries have adopted and how long these practices have been going on.

Evansville accepting applications for community development grant
Nonprofits offering public services eligible
The city of Evansville will accept applications for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant Program from May 12 through June 5.
Nonprofits offering public services are eligible to apply for CDBG grant funding for programs ranging from day care services, food providers and others.
The proposal must meet HUD requirements, and the agency must attend a training session 9:30-10:45 a.m. May 8 at Central Library's Browning Room and have an in-office meeting with DMD staff after the proposal is made. After proposals are determined to be eligible, they are reviewed by the Citizens Advisory Committee, appointed by Mayor Lloyd Winnecke.
The committee's recommendations are reviewed by Winnecke and sent to the Evansville City Council for approval. Kelley Coures, the Department of Metropolitan Development community development coordinator, said in 2014 the city was able to fund 36 out of 39 public service grant requests.
Coures said the city will have approximately $300,000 to allocate to public service activities for 2015.
In addition to the public service grant program, the city also funds assistance to homeowners with CDBG dollars in a variety of ways through nonprofits. One of the most successful programs using City allocated CDBG funds is the Memorial Community Development Corp. Emergency Home Repair Program.
The city launched the local Home Repair program in 2010 with $100,000 in grant funds, and continued funding the program at that level in 2011 and 2012. The DMD sought City Council approval to increase the funding to $284,000 in 2013. Karma Green-Johnson, Director of Neighborhood Stabilization for the Memorial Community Development Corp., said the program has helped more than 35 families in 2014.
For more information about the Community Development Block Grant Program, contact Coures at 812-436-7806. For information on the Memorial Development Corp. Emergency Home Repair Program, contact Green-Johnson at 812-402-5530.

MINNEAPOLIS The Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday re-assigned rookie guard Malcolm Lee to the Sioux Falls Skyforce of the NBA Development League. Lee is expected to play Thursday as Sioux Falls plays host to Bakersfield. Lee appeared in three games for the Skyforce in his first stint with Sioux Falls, averaging 9.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 25.3 minutes. Acquired on draft night from the Chicago Bulls, Lee has yet to appear in a regular-season game for the Wolves after undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee on Dec. 30. Per NBA rules, a first- or second-year player can be assigned to the team's D-League affiliate a maximum of three times in a season.

Is this trend another sign of the demise of the middle class?
After Bear's demise last March, newly retired CEO Jimmy Cayne blamed Goldman Sachs, among others, for hastening its death.
Ironically, Rubin would go to work for Citigroup and shoulder much of the blame for its demise.
mid-15c., from Middle French demise, fem. past participle of démettre "dismiss, put away," from des- "away" (from Latin dis-) + Middle French mettre "put," from Latin mittere "let go, send" (see mission). Originally "transfer of estate by will," meaning extended 1754 to "death" because that's when this happens.

"If people use these numbers not to get vaccinated, I think that will be a tragedy," Skinner said. "Some protection is certainly better than no protection at all."
The findings were published Feb. 22 in the CDC publication Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
This flu season has caused high hospitalization rates, with seniors accounting for 50 percent of all those admitted for the flu.
"This is the highest hospitalization rate [for seniors] since 2003, and may be the highest ever," Siegel said.
Also, nearly 10 percent of deaths up to Feb. 9 have been attributed to the flu or pneumonia associated with the flu. Again, the elderly were hit the hardest, Skinner said.
Sixty-four children have died from flu this season. That number is precise, because the federal government keeps track of pediatric flu deaths. No such count is kept on adults. Typically, approximately 25,000 Americans die from the flu every year, according to the CDC.
Skinner said this year's flu season started early, but seems to be winding down. "But we'll see if that trend continues," he added.

Iran denied a report that some computers at the country's nuclear facilities were hit with a virus that shut them down and played the AC/DC song "Thunderstruck" at full blast.
The head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization chief, Fereidoun Abbasi, called the report "incorrect," according to Bloomberg News, citing the Iranian Students News Agency. He did not elaborate on the issue.
Late last month, an Iranian nuclear scientist reportedly complained to a cybersecurity expert via e-mail that the song was playing from some of the computers. The e-mail claimed that the virus also shut down part of the network.
The cybersecurity expert, Mikko Hypponen, the chief research officer at the Finnish security firm F-Secure, could not provide further details on the attack. F-Secure confirmed, however, that the e-mails were from Iran's Atomic Energy Organization.

Protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban had suggested he and Ms Yingluck should hold a televised debate.
"Ms Yingluck is the legitimate leader of the country and Suthep is a man with warrants for his arrest who heads an illegal movement. The prime minister should not talk to Suthep," said Labour Minister Chalerm Yoobamrung, who oversees a state of emergency imposed in January. "Suthep is only proposing negotiations, even though he dismissed them before, because protest numbers are dwindling."
The protesters have blocked major road junctions in the capital, Bangkok, since mid-January and forced many ministries to close as part of a four-month campaign to push out Ms Yingluck and eradicate the political influence of her brother, ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra, seen as the real power in Thailand.
A total of 23 people have been killed since November.

Another McDonald's advertisement is stirring up controversy, though this one is limited to New York City. A rider noticed the following advertisement while riding to work one day. The quality of the image is poor and the corner appears to obstruct some of the ad, but the message is still clear.
The implication appears to be that no one would want to travel to Rockaway. Or that's certainly how some local residents read it. "I can assure the marketing boys over at McDonald's that most people don't wind up in the Rockaways by accident," City Councilman James Sanders said in a statement. "They come for the beauty, serenity and entertainment that our peninsula offers, especially in the hot summer months when our beaches are overrun with visitors from Manhattan who flock to our shores."
A McDonald's representative said the offensive ad was being pulled from the train immediately and apologized to anyone who was offended by it. Sanders said Ronald McDonald (the mascot of McDonalds) was no longer welcome in Rockaway.
Is the councilman overreacting or is his anger justified?
June 10, 2011
If Rockaway is the end of that particular train line, I don't see it as any kind of slight at all. It's saying if you need to stay awake and not miss your stop, you should pick up an iced coffee from McDonald's. People are so easily offended... sheesh.
June 10, 2011
To be completely honest i know a TON of people, myself included, that have passed out on the train and woke up in Far Rockaway. I think this ad is genious for those of us who have experienced that annoyance.
June 10, 2011
Laurie, I could not agree with you more. People are so quick to freak out.
June 10, 2011
It is the same as saying ending up in Timbuktu..a very real place as well. The councilman is a tad touchy in opinion LOL
June 10, 2011
Apparently the Rockaway residents snub their noses at visitors. I agree with Erik and Laurie. Good thinking on the advertisors part! Leave the ad be. Somebody needs to take a stand once in a while. Those who don't like it can ignore it.

Ones A Gangster Always a Gangster
:( I was disappointed in the film. I understand that Jamal Woolard is a new actor, however in the performance scence's, I dont feel that he really captured the essence of Biggie! The movie also didnt really touch alot on his relationship with Little Kim and Charlie Baltimore, which would have brought the film together alot more. The film made Little Kim seem as if she was just Biggie's jump off, and not a talented artist. Derek Luke playing Puffy did an ok job, however in some scene's, I felt like the acting was very forced.I was expecting the actors to become the characters, as Jamie Foxx did in "Ray"!!
Your kidding me with this "movie" right? seriously?
It's only half the story.
Even when he was alive, Biggie Smalls (a.k.a. Big Poppa, a.k.a., The Notorious B.I.G., birth name: Christopher George Latore Wallace) was bigger than (thug) life. Almost as wide as he was tall, Biggie Smalls was a man of huge appetites, appetites for sex, money, and fame. Smalls is the subject of Notorious, a biopic directed by George Tillman Jr. (Soul Food, the Barbershop series) that follows Smalls' meteoric rise to hip-hop superstardom and his premature death at the age of 24, the victim of a still unsolved drive-by shooting in LA in 1997. Anchored by newcomer Jamal Woodard's performance as Biggie Smalls and a soundtrack drawn from Smalls' brief hip-hop career, Notorious gives Smalls' life the conventional biopic treatment, including his less-than-laudable relationships with women and the rivalry with Tupac Shakur that contributed to his death.
Tillman Jr. and his screenwriters, Reggie Rock Bythewood and Cheo Hodari Coker, borrow a page (and a plot device) from American Beauty by way of Sunset Blvd.: the Biggie Smalls (Jamal Woolard) we meet in the opening scene is moments away from his own death. As Smalls seemingly recognizes his impending death, his switches into voiceover narration and flashes back to his early youth, first as a well-behaved, Catholic schoolboy Christopher Jordan Wallace, Smalls' real-life son) to a fast-talking, street-smart hustler pegging drugs. While Smalls' mother Voletta (Angela Bassett), has big dreams for her son, he just wants money and status and he's willing to do anything (or almost anything) to get it and hold onto it.
After getting his girlfriend pregnant, Smalls' ends up in prison for nine months in North Carolina on a weapons charge. In prison, he gets a chance to rethink his choices and jot down self-confessional rhymes. Once he's out, he rejoins his posse, but almost immediately records a demo. Almost as fast, he gets a meeting with an up-and-coming music executive, Sean 'Puffy' Combs (Derek Luke). Easily convinced of Smalls' potential, Combs pushes Smalls to go on tour and working in the studio to lay down enough rhymes for an album. Smalls' first album under Bad Boy Records, Combs' music label, succeeds beyond expectations. He meets and marries Faith Evans (Antoinette Smith), an R&B singer with Combs' label, but his womanizing threatens their marriage. Smalls also crosses paths Tupac Shakur (Anthony Mackie), a successful rapper and actor, initially mentors Smalls in the hip-hop game.
With Combs and Smalls' family intimately involved in the production of Notorious, it's not surprising that the blame for the feud between Smalls and Shakur falls primarily on Shakur (for his paranoia) and on Suge Knight (Sean Ringgold), the CEO of West Coast-based Death Row Records and Shakur's personal advisor. Notorious also covers Shakur's shooting at Quad Records, Shakur's accusations against Smalls and Combs, Smalls and Combs' ongoing claims of innocence, and the media-hyped feud between West Coast and East Coast rappers that turned Smalls and Shakur into the primary symbols for the feud, ultimately leading to their deaths in drive-by shootings (still unsolved). Whether Combs and Smalls are as blameless as they appear here, however, is left for more informed moviegoers to decide for themselves.
Truth aside, Notorious never strays from the usual conventions and clich
Honoring the late Notorious B.I.G. aka Biggie Smalls. They made a biography on him. The movie is well put together honoring lots of songs and very great strong moving points in his life till his death in March 1997. Jamal Woolard plays the strong role of Biggie and Anglea Basset and Anthony Mackie play the roles of Biggie's mother and Tupac Shakur. The movie is a great rap documentaries as it is a great film with marvelous acting and a great script. The movie is truly perfect.
Revisionist puff piece. Notorious was an average thug who hooked up with another average upper middle class no talent hack, P Piddle. I met these guys and they couldn't spell their own names. His idea of raising the mind was to spend money on fur coats and conflict diamonds. He had no concept on how to make a better world, and what's more, he didn't care. This movie is just intended to rewrite history. It is hackey, poorly written and obviously an attempt to make a hero out of a zero.
I was not expecting much out of this movie but I was pleasantly surprised. The film kept me interested throughout and as I hip-hop lover I appreciated the way that it portrayed Christopher Wallace.
On the other hand I was disappointed with the fact that the movie did not delve deeper into the life of the hip-hop heavyweight. The screenwriters did not try to explore deeper into the life of the Notorious B.I.G. There were not many scenes that gave the audience a glimpse into the life of the rapper that many fans did not know already; and it would have been nice if maybe they tried to penetrate the surface and more thoroughly explore the mind of the rapper, not just the life.
Upon conclusion of the movie, those of us unfamiliar with Notorious B.I.G. have a newfound curiosity in his work, and the rest of us simply appreciate his music more now that we understand the back story.
I recommend this movie for hip-hop/rap fans in general, and HIGHLY recommend it for Biggie fans.
