@Dustin83v & poppyseed......
Here we go with the "Oh, its bad for you" BS-----Just eat a veggie platter,
and don't buy any of those "killer eggs",,,,,,,You @ussys ! !
I totally agree that the time may be right for Mr. Piccolo to return to his private practice endeavors.
Also, I was just wondering how those that seek office to enact laws, by which, we will all benefit
from, feel about a referendum being placed on the ballot to, not only consider but make "term-
limits" a fact of life for political office holders, AND, Staffs. Oh hell ! While I'm at it, lets try to find
out how ALL of them would accept a requirement to provide, say, 1/3 the cost of BENEFITS, that
they now enjoy at 100% cost to us "tax paying/non law making citizens"...Wow, that could lead
to quite a few interesting answers, to say the least. However, I have a feeling these suggestions
would be answered with a manure-load of statements like; " we'll conduct a feasibility study, and get back to you AFTER the elections ! !.......This is just my opinion,,,AND,,,I COULD BE WRONG.....
AFTER the elections",,,OR
Just to change the subject for a moment. I've just finished reading the article from 2009 concerning her "broken gas pump", lawsuit ! Is it only me, or has any one else experienced, "gas splash back" from holding the pump lever open when the tank becomes full, and the automatic shut off takes over? ? More than once I've received a wet hand, gas spotted pants and shoes for not paying attention while filling my gas tank. That's all, just wondering. Later people.....
I'm a little surprised that Harrisburg Mayor, Hon. Linda Thompson, passed up this excellent
opportunity to "move among",(socialize), with some , if not all, of the "movers & shakers" in
Pa. politics. She could have put forth her "plan(s)" for the solution(s) of Harrisburg's concider-
able finanical problems, as only she can articulate. There would have been more than a few
of the attendees who would be willing to invest, finanially, in bringing her "hopes & dreams",
for Harrisburg to fruition..... Of course, this is only my opinion !,,,,And,,,,,I Could Be Wrong ! !
I agree with csarge02. There is no logical reason for him to play. Mr.Boldens glory days are in the
future. This is a learning year for this whole team.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and for "flipchart",,if you don't care,,,
don't post ! Change your username to Richard Cranium it's suits you better.....
The first and the last comments on page four, posted by,
anjou & Soqueesh_Mulhatra, say all that needs to be said....
Just an observation...But maybe, JUST MAYBE ,,,,If the "poor,downtrodden,racially profiled", masses would TRY to work together within their neighborhoods to stop the drugs, and the crime
and violence they breed,,,,,,,,Y'all wouldn't have your doors kicked in.
If the "hood" dosen't put up with the bullshit ----The Bullshit Stops----
Term limits are long overdue!!! However,can we
realistically expect our current "clan" of legi-
slators to enact a law that would remove themselves from a "job", complete with "perks", (most peple dream about, or PAY for themselves), after a term of, perhaps 6-8 years? I DON'T THINK SO! One possible solution: Ask the candidates if they would, not support,BUT-VOTE YES for YES for mandatory term limits; THEN elect them to the "job". Pose that question to the current group!! Even the person in the top job has to step aside after 8 years,,,,Hm-m-m-m.
Another "bad judgement" call by a young ballplayer,who recieved an offer(2) he should have had the sense to refuse
This whole "bonus" subject is getting OLD!!!
State employees and "staffers" should be more
than happy with the "bonuses" that they already
receive in taxpayer funded medical benefits,cost
of living raises, and pensions..... All other
"BONUS" giving should be stopped! PERIOD!! By law, if that's what it takes..

Dana White: Sonnen vs. Jones Could Happen IF The Fans Really Want It | UFC NEWS
Much has been made of the cancellation of UFC 151. Jon Jones turned down a fight against Chael Sonnen and the world has yet to fully forgive the champ.
While playing part of his 30-minute all access special on FUEL TV last night, UFC president Dana White spent most of the 30-minutes discussing the Jon Jones debacle with FUEL reporter Ariel Helwani.
The always thorough Helwani used the opportunity to ask the UFC boss if he would ever again try to put Chael Sonnen in the same cage as UFC light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones.
White responded with…
"He (Sonnen) was the guy who stepped up to the plate and accepted the fight… If the fans really wanted to see Chael vs. Jon Jones, then I guess I'd have to make it,"
13 Responses to "Dana White: Sonnen vs. Jones Could Happen IF The Fans Really Want It | UFC NEWS"
I like Chael as a person and a fighter but at the end of the day Chael hasn't proved himself in the LWH Division (In the UFC) I'd love to see the fight if he could work his way back to the top and earn a chance or if he is the last possible resort (Like he was at UFC 151) At the end of the day the UFCs job is to put fights together and the champions have the fight the number 2 guy in the division, If fighters could earn fights by using there mouth instead of there fighting ability you'd have champions/contenders that are just good at using there mouth and the guys that don't would be left at the bottom of the division.
I like your assessment. Contrarily, the UFC is a business, so it's all about what makes the most business sense. It's all about supply and demand, so to speak. If they will see a larger profit based on demand, then that is what the UFC will supply. As a fan, I really could care less about who has the belt and what the next title fight will be. Should it lead to an interesting match up, I'm all for it. Personally, I love watching the prelims because they are usually great fights; the main cards, eh, not so much in recent memory.
Exactly. Chael is the new Chuck, he's the cash cow right now. he broke 2 records for his fights with Silva so the UFC is willing to throw him in any where and the great part is that Cheael will fight any where any one so the UFC is guna ride that shit.
Sure, make it happen…after that chump fights his way to the spot. Don't just give it to him because he's got the biggest most flappingest gums in the UFC. Sure, he brings money, but to keep the integrity of the UFC, he needs to fight his way through the LHW division to earn a spot.
Please make this fight happen so sonnen can lose another tittle shot and the ufc will be done with him 4ever!! WWE?
Do it!!
dont do this fight it will be a boring fight like most of sonnens fights
Dana if u make this fight happen then this is the beginning of the end of UFC. This is not WWE
Whether u like Sonnen or not, this would be one of the highest rated PPV's ever. Who gives a crap about deserves or not. Any man with the courage to fight Anderson Silva twice, deserves whatever he wants. All the other Sally's turned it down. Like him/hate him, MAKE IT HAPPEN UFC!!! ====$$$$$$
this is total bull shit! chael doesn't deserve a title shot just by using his pussy like mouth! dana if you do this, you will ruin UFC… don't be a fucking idiot, let chael make his way by fighting not by his mouth, let him earn it don't just put a spoon full of cum to his mouth, let him suck it first
Dana didn't care who stepped up IMO but to a certain standpoint likeeeee any top ten 205er but no one had the balls… Yes I'm saying balls because at the end of the day that fighter whoever would of been would of been positively enhanced after that fight from all of MMA world becauseeeee if they did even alright they can say u give me 3-4 months and I got this
"ME" what are you talking about, Chael being the last resort "like he was at UFC 151″??? he was the first choice…lol..then it was Machida and last resort Vitor. Chael Sonnen asked for the fight and Dana said he could have it as a FIRST choice. Pay attention fool.
Why are ppl still whining about Sonnen getting a shot…he is fighting Forrest regardless so you will get to see him at 205…the reason he got the fight with Jones (before the punk turned it down) is his balls (well "ball" in his case), he stepped up when no other LHW wanted to..simple as that, and Dana white loves the shit outta company men who will fight anyone, anytime. Also, that's why Vitor got his title shot…he is moving up a weight class on 4 weeks notice to fight one of the top 3 p4p in the world. They have balls…you gotta respect that shit.

The Washington County/Johnson City EMS Board of Directors unanimously voted Tuesday night to make Daniel Wheeley an offer to become the next EMS executive director.
Wheeley, 37, has been with the agency since 1999 and has been serving as interim operations director after former Executive Director Allen Taylor retired in October. Taylor's retirement moved Brad Gerfin, one of two in-house finalists for the spot, to Taylor's spot on an interim basis, and that pulled Wheeley up to fill Gerfin's position.
The two sat side by side at the head of the table throughout a roughly two-hour meeting. The matter of naming Taylor's replacement was moved from the middle of the agenda to the end, which made the choice a bit of a nail-biter for employees, staff and visitors.
But when that time came, it was Wheeley getting the nod. He was later surrounded by EMS employees, accepting congratulatory hand shakes and pats on the back.
"I'm very humbled by this," he said as the training room at the new station on Wesley Street began to empty. "Brad is excellent. He's been a true leader through this transition."
The recommendation came from the EMS Executive Committee, which is comprised of County Mayor Dan Eldridge, City Manager Pete Peterson Dr. Mark Wilkinson, board chairman and senior partner with Johnson City Emergency Physicians, and Jack Hall, EMS board member.
The salary, which will now be negotiated, was advertised as ranging from "the low $70s and moves up depending on qualifications." Wheeley, who will be responsible for all EMS operations including administration of 114 full-time employees and a nearly $10 million budget, said he felt a contract could be worked out within a few weeks. Wheeley said he will be negotiating directly with Wilkinson.
"I can assure you, I've got 100-percent trust in Dan," said Gerfin, who has worked with the agency since 1998. "The employees really stepped up and made this process easy."
Both Eldridge and Peterson thanked Gerfin for doing a good job, and both also said either man would have had their trust to run the service.
"I think it was really critical to make such a broad a search as possible," Peterson said. "The two internal candidates are quality candidates and quite capable of running an organization like this. I think that's a testament to the quality of personnel we have."
Wheeley, from Jonesborough, has worked as a paramedic and shift captain. He has directly supervised shift lieutenants, sergeants and staff while managing EMS resources. He also has been directly responsible for day-to-day field operations and has worked closely with the Board of Directors. He has served in numerous leadership roles, including Dive Team Leader, Search and Rescue Team Leader and Washington County Rescue Services captain for 12 years.
He also has been responsible for fundraising, budget preparation and management and directing the operations of the volunteer division. Wheeley also owns Specialty Rescue Training in Jonesborough, and he said he does plan to continue to operate that business, which provides emergency services training to various agencies.
Two of the four finalists were out-of-state: Sims of Spring, Texas, who is the EMS director for the Montgomery County (Texas) County Hospital District, and Mark English of Harrison, Pa., a paramedic and rescue specialist.
Their names were never mentioned, but Pat Hardy, the state's Municipal Technical Advisory Service municipal management consultant, told board members and EMS employees that the search was thorough. Hardy said he asked executive committee members "how far it wanted to cast its net."
Judging by the breadth of the search, they cast the net pretty far. The position was advertised in the Johnson City Press, Knoxville News Sentinel, The Tennessean and on nine websites, including EMS World, and the International Association of Fire Chiefs.
"We received 60 resumes, and there was another 122 website matches, though only three of those ended up in the 60," Hardy said. "I worked with (Johnson City) Human Resources Director Kevin Bratton. We made a 'yes' and a 'maybe' pile. This search basically took two months. They normally take at least four months."

If you're fighting a war, how do you cook food on the run? What sort of meals can you make around ranches, porches, and rustic bonfires? What might Pancho Villa or Emiliano Zapata have eaten? This episode looks at the culinary legacy of the Mexican Revolution, with recipes that include:
Finally, traditional mexican recipes. I happen to see your show for the first time today and loved how you showed us how to make the food in a slow enough way that I could actually keep up. I hope you stick to traditional recipes there are so many people who really want to learn how to make it right.Julissa | April 16, 2011 12:17 PM
Many thanks for your comments... I will! Send along any cravings that you have : )Pati Jinich replied to comment from Julissa | April 16, 2011 2:49 PM
I love bacon, I love chorizo, never occurred to me to mix them together. Wonderful dish Pati! I love your show too, its become one of my favorite cooking shows.Homero | April 16, 2011 6:44 PM
Thank you Homero!!! Oh yes: chorizo and bacon make a rocking duo : )Pati Jinich replied to comment from Homero | April 18, 2011 6:55 PM
Thanks for sharing your recipes. Saw your show for the first time and everything looks so delicious!
Made the Chilorio tonight, and it was great! Trying the beans later this week. I love having a guide to real Mexican food. Your cooking/teaching style made it easy for me to find the ingredients and feel confident about being successful. It was actually all food I already had on hand - even the ancho chilies - but I feel like I am seeing everyday food that Mexican families eat - not Americanized versions from fast food chains. It feels like real food that real people cook for dinner.Matriarchy | May 22, 2011 9:05 PM
Watching your show for the 1st time! "foods of the Mexican Revolution" love it !!! Can t wait to try the recipes ...TYVM!!

Hola Scott, I wish you luck finding a local Mexican grocery store. I hope you find it soon so you can start cooking away!Pati Jinich replied to comment from Scott M. | August 4, 2011 10:42 PM
Finding your show on PBS has been this summer's hidden delight.
I've tried two recipes so far and they are delightful. Today, the anise flavored cookies to go into rotation with my Anise biscotti.
We are fortunate to have several Mexican grocery stores in Knoxville TN and I grow my own tomatillos (which made my discovery of your 'fast' mole using tomatillos a delight. (I just happened to have Ceylon Cinnamon in my larder as I really like it in winter in my oatmeal.)
My poblanos are just coming in now so I am searching your page for rellenos or other poblano dishes.Ann P. | August 5, 2011 11:05 AM
Is it ancho chiles?There is a mercado here in Memphis,haven't been there yet.Scott M. replied to comment from Pati Jinich | August 7, 2011 1:59 PM
Ann, I find it truly exciting that you grow your own tomatillos. What a treat! I am so thrilled you have been enjoying the show. I hope you continue to find recipes that you love, and I promise an exciting second season will follow!Pati Jinich replied to comment from Ann P. | August 8, 2011 11:45 AM

Thank you so much Josie. I am so passionate about knowing the historical aspect through which many of these meals were created. I think it just adds an incredible amount of flavor to each dish!Pati Jinich replied to comment from Josie | August 28, 2011 9:33 PM
Hi Patti,
I loved this episode! I want to make the charro beans, which looked so gooooood! Any recommendations on where to buy good chorizo in DC? Thanks :)
Thank you Vania! Yes, my favorite brand of chorizo is Logan's Mexican chorizo. Logan's is a local business in the metro DC area so, you should be able to find it at various stores. Here is their website, and you can contact them to see what store nearest you carries it http://www.logansausage.com/. I definitely know Panam Grocery on 14th has it (that's where I go for mine :) ).Pati Jinich replied to comment from Vania | January 19, 2012 9:48 AM
This was a wonderful dish and easy to prepare. We used pinto beans. Thanks Patti.Dennis Reppond | April 6, 2012 11:36 AM
For the first step in the chilorio, about how long do you braise the pork chunks in the liquid--are you talking 20-30 minutes or more like two hours? Can you give an estimate for that step?Brenda | April 10, 2012 2:48 PM
Hola Brenda, you should braise the pork for about 40-45 minutes. You can find the written recipe here http://patismexicantable.com/2011/04/chilorio-burritas.html. Enjoy!Pati Jinich replied to comment from Brenda | April 10, 2012 5:36 PM

Natural History
If you see a snail walking across the touch table in our Splash Zone exhibit, look closer—it's a hermit crab in a discarded snail shell! Hermit crabs wear shells to protect their soft abdomens—which are asymmetrical and curved to fit the spiral shape of their shell. Like all crabs, hermit crabs are decapods—they have five pairs of legs, including a pair of claws. One claw is much larger than the other—the hermit crab uses it for defense and food shredding; it uses the smaller claw for eating. The second and third pairs of legs help the crab walk, and the last two pairs hold the hermit crab in its shell.
Hermit crabs are abundant in tide pools. If you visit tide pools, it's important to follow tide pool etiquette—look, but don't disturb or collect, which is illegal on many shores. Since the number of empty shells in a tide pool ensures the survival of hermit crabs, please leave all empty shells where you find them. And take care of yourself—remember that rocks in the tide pool are slippery. Face the ocean—unexpected large waves can easily sweep you into the water.
Cool Facts
Hermit crabs prefer certain shells. Pagurus samuelis, a common tide pool hermit crab, prefers the shells of black turban snails.
Hermit crabs move into larger shells as they grow—fighting with other hermit crabs for the shells if necessary—but they don't harm healthy snails.

From elsewhere in The Post: One in 10 parents are avoiding or
delaying getting their children vaccinated because of safety concerns, says a new report in the journal Pediatrics. Their refusal to have their kids receive certain shots has had adverse effects.
"So now places such as San Diego and Minneapolis are the backdrops for mini-epidemics of deadly diseases not seen in generations," says columnist Petula Dvorak, who mentions whooping cough, measles and diphtheria as some of the diseases.
The trend started about a decade ago, Dvorak says, when people started to believe there was a link between vaccinations and autism, fueled by studies from British doctor Andrew Wakefield. "Numerous medical studies have debunked the connection between vaccines and autism, but parental resistance keeps rising anyway," Dvorak notes.
What does Dvorak think will help parents regain trust in vaccines? Barbie. CDC Barbie to be exact.
"Barbie could put on a tiny labcoat and little white high heels to go with her pro-immunization message. That's not a far-fetched idea, given the overwhelming data being ignored by parents.
Earlier this year, Wakefield's study was at last retracted by the British medical journal Lancet because some of the data turned out to be bogus.
Still, the number of parents who won't trust shots keeps rising...," Dvorak says.

In an exclusive interview with "This Week's" Christiane Amanpour, former UK prime minister Tony Blair said it was difficult for him to convince the Queen of England to acknowledge the wave of loss and anger following Princess Diana's sudden death in 1997, the year Blair became prime minister.
"Partly because of the loss, but partly because of the circumstances in -- in which she died, there was also a sense of anger. Now, some of that anger was directed at the paparazzi, but some of it, I think, was -- was directed at the establishment that people felt had let her down in some way," Blair told Amanpour.
"In the end, the queen did that (honored Diana), I think, magnificently," but he added that the task to talk to her was difficult. "It was difficult for me because I was a new prime minister and I didn't really know the queen. And, you know, it was -- I was very nervous in and around her, as you would be."
In his new autobiography, "A Journey: My Political Life," Blair defines Diana as a person who "captured the essence of an era and held it in her hand. ... She was extraordinarily captivating," he wrote.
Watch Christiane Amanpour's interview with Tony Blair tonight on "World News," and Wednesday on "Good Morning America."
Although the cause of Diana's death was blamed on her driver's recklessness, several paparazzi who were chasing the car in Paris were arrested.
"She'd almost become such public property -- I mean if you read the accounts of press pursuing her and paparazzi and so on, you know, I get a certain amount, or a political leader gets a certain amount, a film star gets a certain amount," Blair said. "I don't think we had any idea what it was like for her. It was just a constant pursuit."
Blair also defends former President Bill Clinton, who he dubs his political soul mate in the book.
"I think he was one of the first people really to understand, to articulate how progressive politics couldn't be a rainbow collation, that you had to stand up and be connected with people, not activists, simply," Blair told Amanpour.
The three-term prime minister praised Clinton "as one of the smartest politicians I've come across," and expressed confidence in Secretary of State Hillary Clinton leading the Middle East peace negotiations.
Clinton's two-term presidency was almost derailed because of his affair with Monica Lewinsky, an indiscretion that Blair wrote, "arose in part from his inordinate interest in and curiosity about people."
"Part of his genius [as] a politician is he is extraordinarily curious about people," Blair said today.
Blair also praised Hillary Clinton's negotiating skills, saying he is certain the secretary of state can confront all the challenges she is facing when it comes to international diplomacy.
"There is a lot on her shoulders. But she's completely capable of doing it," he said. "She's got the best type of political mind that knows where you meet the point of principle and knows where you need the subtlety and the compromise."
Blair is scheduled to receive the 2010 Liberty Medal from former President Clinton in Philadelphia on Sept. 13.
Blair took over the Labor Party's leadership in 1994 and spent three terms as prime minister, from May 1997 to June 2007.

Supreme Court hears arguments on Charlie White replacementFebruary 29th, 2012 at 12:43 pm by Jim Shella under Jim Shella's Political Blog
Who will replace Charlie White in the office of Secretary of State? That question is in the hands of the state Supreme Court.
Democrats made their case this morning to have Vop Osili, the second leading vote-getter in the 2010 election, fill the vacancy created when Republican Charlie White was convicted of felonies including voter fraud.
Osili was among those in the courtroom as attorneys for the Democrats argued that Charlie White was not properly registered to vote in 2010 and therefore was ineligible to be on the ballot. Those attorneys faced tough questioning from both Republicans and Democrats on the Supreme Court who said they are considering a different set of facts than those presented to the jury in White's criminal case.
"He would still be registered to vote and that would be in the district he seeks to represent," said Justice Brent Dickson at one point. "Why would that not be a valid candidacy?"
"He was not legally registered to vote in the state of Indiana and was, in fact, fraudulently and falsely registered," said Karen Celestino-Horseman, a Democratic Party attorney.
After the hearing Osili said he still hopes to become Secretary of State. "I trust our Supreme Court Justices to have heard the facts as presented and to make the case," he said, "and to make a clear decision."
Jerry Bonnet, the interim Secretary of State was also in the courtroom this morning. If the Democrats lose this case the governor will likely replace Bonnet with another Republican. There is no indication when the court may rule.

Fundamental Math and Physics for Scientists and Engineers
- Language: English
- 462 Pages
- Published: December 2014
This product is currently not available for purchase.
This work pertains to the spin and charge transports
in low dimensional electronic systems. The general
concept of low dimensional physics is briefly
introduced. We studied the spin transport of a spin
polarized Luttinger liquid in the presence of a
single impurity. We found that, by considering the
extended Hubbard interaction, a spin-polarized wire
is obtained in response to an external magnetic
field. In addition, we studied the charge transport
of a confined two-dimensional electron gas in the
presence of an insulating region. We considered the
two-dimensional electron gas as being confined by a
harmonic potential. The insulating region, which
causes the electronic wave function to vanish, is
replaced by a static vortex. We found that a
rectified voltage is induced in response to a
Hsuan-Yeh Chang.

St Erth man faces prison unless he complies with planning notice
Posted: January 24, 2014|
A St Erth man has appeared before a district judge after the council applied for an injunction to secure compliance with a planning enforcement notice he has flouted for four years.
David Leak, of Chenhalls Road, has been ordered to remove a caravan, two storage units, vehicles and other materials associated with his wood working business from village land-or face a fine or prison sentence.
Despite being given a planning enforcement notice in 2009, Mr Leak continued to reside on the land in breach of a notice from Cornwall Council, which is a criminal offence.
Mr Leak unsuccessfully appealed the notice and the council's attempts to encourage compliance have so far failed.
Hayley Jewels, the council's enforcement group leader, said: "The council had no choice but to apply to the court for an injunction as it was considered that no lesser steps would remedy the breach of planning control. Mr Leak has continued to flout planning laws for over 4 years.
"It is a shame that a resolution could not have been reached sooner without the need for such serious legal action, but repeated breaches of planning control will not be tolerated and the council will continue to ensure that the integrity of the planning system is upheld."
Failure to comply with the court injunction by April 2014 could result in a prison sentence for Mr Leak.
Mr Leak was also ordered to pay £2002.60 towards the council's costs.

The Historic Aiken Foundation is set to present its 2013 preservation awards on Jan. 27 at 3 p.m. at the Aiken County Historical Museum.
The HAF said it is delighted to have SRNS as the title sponsor for the awards for the third year in a row.
There is no charge for the public to attend the awards or the reception that follows.
For more than 35 years, the HAF has worked to preserve the historic visual character of Aiken by promoting the preservation of historical sites, buildings and residences and increasing the appreciation of preservation among the general public.
HAF awards over the past 10 years have recognized more than 60 preservation projects in eight award categories.
Award winners must be nominated and approved by the HAF board. Winners usually receive a framed certificate describing the award, an engraved brass medallion to be affixed to the property and a personalized copy of HAFs flagship publication,A Splendid Time: Photographs of Old Aiken. The publication serves as the main fundraiser for HAF and is available for $20 at the museum gift shop.
The HAF said it is grateful to again have SRNS as title sponsor during difficult economic times. Its support has aided HAFs recognition of more than 30 local preservation projects over the past three years. It should also be noted that SRNS was a prior Stewardship Award winner for its preservation of the old Aiken Post Office in collaboration with its owner, Todd Lista.
The 2013 HAF awards will encompass six award categories: Stewardship, Leadership, Adaptive Use, President, Wilds Lipe and Commercial Preservation. Each category is designed to recognize a different preservation activity. After receiving their awards, the honorees will discuss their projects.

ITV Daybreak 'a disappointment'
ITV's Daybreak programme has not been received as well as expected.
ITV chief executive Adam Crozier said the breakfast show has "not performed as we would have hoped".
"Clearly it has had a difficult introduction. It's not a case of wholesale changes. It is bringing in a younger audience and the programme has got better over the last few months," he commented.
However, Mr Crozier noted that the "key thing" is to continue investing.
A spokeswoman for the broadcaster said: "Since Christmas 2010, Daybreak figures have again been growing steadily, with to date an average of 0.8 million (19 per cent). In terms of profile, Daybreak is reaching a more upmarket and younger female audience year-on-year."
Between February 14th and 18th of this year it was up two per cent on ABC1 viewers compared to the same week with GMTV last year.
The show is fronted by presenters Adrian Chiles and Christine Bleakley.

Appointment of Jackie Smith NMC chief executive
UNISON, the UK's largest health union, today welcomed the appointment of Jackie Smith as chief executive of the Nursing and Midwifery Council saying she will provide the continued stability and leadership that the organisation needs.
However, the union criticised the way the appointment was made in light of previous concerns over the NMC's management of business processes.
Gail Adams UNISON head of nursing said:
I have faith in Jackie's leadership and her ability to work with council to take the NMC forward and I congratulate her on the appointment. UNISON has developed a strong working relationship with her and the new chair.
Sadly Jackie's re-appointment without re seeking any external applicants, is a missed opportunity for the NMC to demonstrate that they have listened to criticism and introduced new, more transparent procedures.
Any NHS organisation failing to go through a rigorous recruitment process would rightly be criticised and its right and proper that we should expect only the highest standards from the regulator. This is the way to help re-build registrant's confidence which has taken a knock over the past few years.

Few individuals have an understanding, appreciation and passion toward filmmaking than Preston Randolph. During his youth, Preston was exposed to the great works of art in Film by his dad, Steve Randolph. The classic films that formed the modern industry were responsible for his aspiration toward the business. His films have been shown across the country in several different film festivals and Preston is the only person ever to win Best Picture at the NCHS Wyoming State Film Festival three consecutive years. Besides filmmaking, Preston has a second love for history and many of his films are based on historical events and true stories. He is devoted to open eyes and to expose truth and new perspective on controversial issues. He brings people out of their shell and preaches the concept to question the norm and find truth in issues other people take for granted
Preston Randolph chose the name Cactus Productions on behalf of his grandpa Russell Randolph who was a Marine in WWII. During the war Russell was given the nickname Cactus Randolph. Russell was also a cowboy which is the reason for the cowboy hat on top of the cactus in the logo
The success of Cactus Productions as any production company, relies on its production crew. The passionate and talented crew is led by a very visual and enthusiastic, Preston Randolph. He has been involved in film production for over 6 years and has assembled a crew ranging from filmmakers who have worked on Academy Award winning productions, to Emmy and Grammy winning artists. Preston Randolph produces films that inspire, educate and bring new perspective on controversial issues, new light on historical events, and dramatic reality of the real world.
Alongside his filmmaking career, Randolph dedicates the remainder of his time in being a political activist for social justice and volunteering his time in helping those in need. He has organized an annual charity drive for the people of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.
RV: When did you first begin your interest in film making and what documentaries have you produced?
Preston: I have been interested in producing films since I was very young. I grew up watching great films and having the freedom to go out and experiment with an old video camera my dad had. We lived in the mountains of Montana, so I was able to walk the hills with a camera catching glimpses of wildlife and nature, and get a since of absolute freedom. It was during this time that my interest in film became more of an obsession and today that obsession continues to grow. My dad and grandpa were historians who gave me the chance to learn of the very important past, especially the stories of the Native American. That environment, merged with my passion for social justice and human rights led me to the story of Leonard Peltier.
I have been in production on "Wind Chases the Sun: The Leonard Peltier Story" for a year and am in the later stages of pre-production at this point. The amount of research my crew and I are doing is immense and we feel that the film we are producing will be a key to exposing Leonard Peltier's case and eventually bringing him home.
Once production and post-production is complete, "Wind Chases the Sun" will be exposed through the film festival market as well as seeking theatrical and DVD distribution.
This is a chance to take part in a very meaningful film for social change and political justice for the American Indian and all those who are oppressed through injustice.
RV: Which documentary have you produced holds a special significance/meaning to you personally?
Preston: My current film, "Wind Chases the Sun" means the most to me. The past year I have grown very close to this case and I recently had the opportunity to spend time with Leonard Peltier. Since then, this production has become more of a mission. My life now revolves around the case and this film. I have started relief drives for the Pine Ridge Reservation and that will be a major part of this film's production. Everything we do is to help Leonard Peltier and all the indigenous that are continued to be mistreated in this Country. I truly cannot express in words what this case means to me. It is the most important aspect of my life and I intend to fight for Leonard Peltier's freedom, until he is home with his family.
Leonard Peltier is in full support of this production and is very hopeful that what we expose will give him his freedom.
RV: How do you fund your documentaries and what is involved in producing a film?
Preston: Producing a film is a long and stressful process, but when your vision is finally finished it is all worth it. In my case, I write, direct and produce so I have the opportunity to see my films unfold in front of me. There is something special being able to see something you have spent years trying to produce, come together. As an independent producer, I take the film from the first step to the last. At this point in my production of "Wind Chases the Sun", I am organizing a production team, researching and making connections to the subject, and of course raising funds so the production will be made possible.
My films are funded by private investors and donations from individuals that feel passionate to the film's meaning. "Wind Chases the Sun" is telling the story of Native American, Leonard Peltier and the atrocities on the Pine Ridge Reservation that happened during the "Reign of Terror" as well as what is happening today. This story needs to be told so the masses can stand up and make a change to this very dark part of American History.
Pre-Production funds for "Wind Chases the Sun" are currently being collected and I encourage anyone who feels passionate for the story of Leonard Peltier or the plight of the Native American, to donate to this very meaningful film. Without the support of all those who want justice in this case, this film will not be made possible. Donations can be sent to Cactus Productions, P.O. Box 2046, Cody, WY 82414. With the donation, please include your name and contact information so the proper credits can be distributed at the end of the film for those who donate.
We are seeking early production funding over the kickstarter website. I cannot express how important this early funding is. This is a great way for people to help out Leonard Peltier. Attached is a photo of the note Leonard gave to me a few weeks ago.
The $30,000 raised from kickstarter.com will be used in several different areas of pre-production. The $30,000 will supply the research team with travel expenses and research fees so every document connected to the Peltier case can be scanned and placed on an archival hard drive. The first recording sessions for the soundtrack will be paid for. The legal expenses for the film will be paid for. The production crew will also be able to produce a very professional pitch trailer so they can pursue potential investors to fund the remaining budget of the film.
RV: I understand that you are making a film about Leonard Peltier. What are your hopes for this documentary?
Preston: The goal of this production is to expose the case of Leonard Peltier and the atrocities on the reservations to the masses. I feel that if the people know about this case, then they will see the injustice and stand up for what is right and what is needed. My goal is that this film will bring so much exposure to the case that in time Leonard Peltier will be free.
The hope and goals of this production have been the same since day one. We are fighting to free Leonard Peltier and until that day we will have not succeeded.
RV: I read an article that you wrote and the attention that Haiti received during the earthquake. I agree that help was desperately called for but at the same time it boggles my mind that a crisis is going at a lot of the reservations with addiction, violence, and poverty. Is it just not news? Why is this information not making national headlines in your opinion?
Preston: I feel that these issues should be on the front page of every newspaper and the headline of every news station, but they are not. In my opinion, the people are just not aware of these issues and that includes the news networks. In all truth, the US Government does not want this information exposed, and because of this, it is a continued genocide of the American indigenous. I feel if news networks would cover these issues, then people would be educated on these atrocities and changes would occur. We just have to have a spark to ignite that fire and I feel that this film will be that spark.
RV: Can you please share with us your heritage and compassion and what would you say inspires and motivates you?
Preston: I was raised in Montana, but have lived in several states across the country, including my home state of Arizona. My production company, Cactus Productions, is named after my grandpa, Russell Randolph, who was raised through the Great Depression, was a Marine in WWII, and a cowboy when he returned home from the war.
At this point, I am mostly motivated and inspired by the subject matter of "Wind Chases the Sun". In the film business, especially the independent film world, you are always hitting walls. To have a successful project you must fight through those barriers and continue. With this production especially, when obstacles come in the way, or when I am extremely stressed I think of what this entire production is about. I think about the living hell Leonard Peltier has gone through every day for 34 years. Thinking of that motivates me to move on.
Just the thought that an innocent man imprisoned because of political injustice makes me work even harder and more efficient to get this film out and help him once again be free. It has to happen, and the time is now. This production is a failure until Leonard Peltier is home with his family.
I would like to thank Preston and wish the film much success. To bringing to light Leonard's continued plight and fight for justice. Thank you Preston.

Overview of NRV Hazard Mitigation Plan
The 2011 New River Valley Hazard Mitigation Plan was updated in 2009 and 2010. The New River Valley Planning District Commission partnered with Radford University's Geography Department to prepare a revised plan that maintains the region's eligibility for FEMA's disaster mitigation program funds. The hazard mitigation workgroup updated the plan by further identifying known hazards, assessing potential risks, and developing mitigation strategies to protect lives and property and to prepare the region for disasters that may strike.
Each locality was invited to participate in the planning process. Along with their participation, community representatives and the area's experts in emergency management and the region's hazard risks also participated in developing the goals and strategies for making the New River Valley more hazard-resistant.
Information about the process is available on this website. While comments for the 2011 plan update are no longer being taken, you can submit comments on hazard mitigation through the "Public Input" or "Contact Us" links.

Parking deck construction to cause traffic delays
The construction of a parking deck at 300 East Main Street in Carrboro could create traffic delays on Carrboro and Chapel Hill's busiest downtown streets for about six weeks beginning Friday.
The delays will occur about every 45 minutes, and will be for the length of time it will take for an oversized truck carrying large pre-cast concrete double T-shaped forms to back from East Main Street onto Boyd Street next to Domino's Pizza.
That block curves off the end of West Franklin Street heading into Carrboro.
"They're not closing the road all day," said Laura Van Sant of Main Street Properties, which is building the hotel and parking deck at the site. "It will be for a few minutes at a time."
Deliveries are expected from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays, and signs will alert drivers when flaggers are stopping traffic. Drivers and pedestrians can detour around the area via Merritt Mill Road and West Rosemary Street.
Businesses in the area will remain open during construction.
Flagmen will stop traffic both ways, and it could temporarily delay traffic on West Franklin Street and East Main Street.
The 500-car parking deck will be behind a new Hampton Inn & Suites that Main Street Properties is building. The outside brick work on the hotel and retail space is nearly complete and work is progressing inside the building, Van Sant said.
"Everything is going to be open in June," she said of the hotel and parking deck.
The ground floor of the hotel will include restaurant and retail space, and so far about 70 percent of that space has been leased, she said. Main Street Properties expects to announce who will be leasing the space in about two weeks, Van Sant said.

Tennis Teams Wrap Up Stellar Season as the Campus Prepares to Host the Division III National Championships
Arthi Padmanabhan '14 on the court
Tennis is wrapping up a stellar season for both the men's and women's teams. Both teams are currently ranked seventh in the nation for NCAA Division III and three students will be competing in the national championships, which will be held at Pomona's Pauley Tennis Complex (individuals and doubles) and Claremont McKenna's Biszantz Family Tennis Center (teams) from May 24 through May 29.
"It is an honor to host because we have the unique opportunity to showcase our facilities, campus and incredible location," says Men's Tennis Coach Ben Belletto. "It is also an honor because there has never been a joint championship (men and women) and we are thrilled to be blazing the path."
Last summer, the Pauley Tennis Complex underwent extensive renovations, including new nets, posts, fencing, benches, resurfacing and state-of-the-art lighting that now allows night-time practices and matches on all courts. Belletto says the renovations didn't play a role in the facility being selected for the championships, but that they "certainly enable our facility to stand alone as one of the best in the country." The last time Pomona-Pitzer hosted the championships was in 1999.
In the NCAA west regionals last week, the women's team advanced to the third round but fell to Claremont-Mudd-Scripps 5-2. The women completed the season with an overall record of 17-4. The men advanced to the second round, falling to fourth-ranked UC Santa Cruz 5-0. The men concluded the season with an overall record of 17-6. This is the first NCAA Championship competition for the men's team since 2001. Both teams were the #7 seeds in their respective NCAA tournament brackets.
In the individual singles and doubles championships hosted at Pauley from May 27 to May 29, Jamie Solomon PI '13 from Los Gatos, California, will be representing the women's team, and Soloman and Kara Wang '13 (Saratoga, California) will be playing doubles. On the men's side, Tommy Meyer '12 from Bernville, Pennsylvania, will be competing in singles. Last year, Meyer finished the season ranked #21 in the nation in singles; he represented the West Region at the 2010 NCAA Singles Championships at Oberlin College and was named an NCAA Singles All-American.
In SCIAC, women's tennis bested Claremont-Mudd-Scripps for the title and five team members were honored with all-conference team placement. Number one singles and doubles player Solomon, her partner and number two singles player Wang, and Arthi Padmanabhan '14 were named to the All-SCIAC First Team. Nicole Holsted '12 and Samantha Chao '14 were selected to the All-SCIAC Second Team.
Men's tennis landed in second in SCIAC after falling in the championships to Claremont-Mudd-Scripps. Meyer was named to the All-SCIAC First Team for the second consecutive year, and third overall all-conference selection. Chris Wiechart PI '14 was also named to the All-SCIAC First Team and Frankie Alinson '13 was selected to the Second Team, his second consecutive selection.

The council is expected to review Hulick's background and reference checks when it meets next Tuesday. Hulick and Town of Beloit Administrator Brian Wilson had been the two finalists picked from a field of 19, but Wilson says he's planning to stay in his current position. Milton's search for a new administrator began after former City Administrator Jerry Schuetz accepted a job with the school district last month.

Hot Tub 5 (NSFW)
Here it is the last page.
Hope you have enjoyed my little recap of the hot-tub-fight-that-really-happened.
Also, on this night a lilac-colored bra was taken by the wrong party and returned to me (why me?) months later. The rightful owner had kissed that brassiere goodbye when I finally asked around to see if anyone was missing it.
These things amuse me.
I wonder if I should do more hot tub stories.
I have enough of them to fill a book, I'm certain.
You have done the hop-topless-out-of-a-hot-tub-in-a-snowstorm trick right?
Mine was to get the last bottle of wine out of the truck and MAN that ground was cold.
Also I slipped on the snowbank on the return trip.
Good times.
How about the house-sitting when the kid comes home and you are not alone in the hot tub trick? That one involves hopping out quickly and throwing pants on.
Oh, to be young again.
Are you moving your money on Saturday?
Don't sit still join the movement.

This is a brilliant series without being preachy. I'd love to see more, not that the idea of a hot tub full of naked women discussing the issues of the day is something I'd immediately go for, but you handle this with panache and make it seem more like being there than voyeurism.
Go, Tana!

Thank you so much, sir! I'd like to do more work like this. I still feel like I am trying to find my bearings with this sort of storytelling but I'm not wrestling with it anymore. It seems to be happening naturally and that's a good thing, right?

10 Year Old Diary Entry Leads to Sexual Assault and Sexual Abuse ChargesA diary entry by a nine-year-old from a decade ago started an investigation that has led to the arrest of a 38-year-old Mt. Vernon man on sex charges. Bond has been set at $100,000 for Michael Schallenberg of East Davis Road on a warrant charging two counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse and one count of predatory criminal sexual assault of a child.
The Marion County Sheriff's Department began the investigation last week after receiving a call from the mother of the now 15-year-old girl. The mother provided the department with the information about the alleged sexual activity she learned about when confronting her daughter about the diary entry. The girl allegedly admitted that Schallenberg had committed sex acts with her at the time he lived with the girl's mother in rural Iuka around 2004. The allegations resulted in the 'Class X' predatory criminal sexual assault of a child charge.
The mother also learned that Schallenberg had allegedly fondled her then six-year-old daughter during the same time period. Those incidents led to the two counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse.
Utility and school records confirmed that the family lived in the rural Iuka home at the time the sex acts allegedly occurred. Assistant State's Attorney Melissa Doran says the girls could also remember details of other events that occurred during the same time period. That allowed for the period of time the alleged sex acts occurred to be narrowed down.
The sheriff's department believes there is a third child victim, but the alleged sexual activity did not occur in Marion County. The department with jurisdiction is still investigating that case.
Schallenberg has not lived with the mother since 2009. Doran says there have been no recent allegations of sexual acts. \
The warrant for Schallenberg was issued on Wednesday. He was picked up at his home with the assistance of a Jefferson County Sheriff's Deputy Wednesday night. During his first appearance in court Thursday, a public defender was appointed to represent Schallenberg. He is currently being held in the Marion County Jail.

i have been eating at Persepolis for more than 15 years, since they were this small hole in the wall and i absolutely love their food. My boyfriend who is not persian but has eaten at my house and pretty much every persian place in new york will call me saying he ia craving persepolis. The one thing i dont like is the new decor, i feel like its not gaudy enough to be authentically persian lol.

I have had a lot of conversations recently with the boy about how he ought to be thankful for his food, even if it's not exactly what he wanted. I have tried to get him to imagine that he is one of the boys in the world who is truly starving and how would he feel then if someone gave him some yummy lentil soup to eat for dinner, he insists he still wouldn't eat it. Thank God my child has never experienced true hunger and therefore can't imagine it. But it's frustrating that he is not more thankful for the things that he has.
We have talked about how he ought not to eat all of the raisins that we have left in the cupboard because now there are none to go in granola or banana muffins until mommy can go shopping again. I often allow these things to go un-purchased for a significant length of time, long enough for him to feel some of the pain that he has caused himself.
We also discuss that it is wrong to waste food because that takes away from what other people can have both immediately and figuratively.
His solution to everything of course is that we can go to the store and buy more food. I have explained that this is not as simple as it seems, that if food is wasted to get more is to take away from other things that the money should be spent on, say our foster child in Rwanda, special adventures for him, and sometimes we even get into food rent and clothing. Recently I've just been telling him that we have no money to get more right now, he will have to wait. This is true; it's been a tight month with lots of unexpected expenses. Yesterday he sat near me at the table during lunch and I could see the wheels turning inside his head, "Mommy do we not have money for groceries right now?"
"No, not a lot honey, we have to be careful for a while."
"Does Beema have money?"
"Yes Beema has some money."
"Then we should just ask her to give us some then and then we could go and get more raisins."
Problem solved.
When we moved to California we started house hunting, something that that we have lost energy for recently but are still pursuing. Every day almost the Boy asks me when the guys are going to start building our house for us. The answer is always that we won't be buying a house or building one for a long time yet, because any thing longer than two days from now is a long time for a four year old.
He has decided that we should build our house in the Distance, a pretty little valley near the curvy road we drive on the way to Beema's house. He thinks this place is called the Distance due to a misunderstanding when his aunt was trying to explain what the word meant one day as we were driving past that spot by pointing out the window and saying see that over there is in the distance.
Yesterday as we were driving out for dinner he started talking about living there and I told we it looked like someone else already lived there and that they weren't likely to sell it to us for what we're willing to pay. He decided he would go and talk to them and they would for sure give it to us.
Problem solved.
Then he started saying that if they didn't give it to them he would "wrestle them up" and make them give us our money and let us take their house and when I told them that this would be wrong he said he would get the police to come and take them away because they're bad people.
Problem solved.
I think I'm going to have to rethink this teaching him economy and frugality approach though, it bothers me that my four year old is thinking about how to get money. He hates that his dad has to leave every day and go to work, and the formulaic exchange they have every morning has him asking "Why do you have to go to work dad, I don't want you to go."
"Because if I don't work buddy we don't have money to pay for things like food and a place to live."
"Oh okay, bye then."
I guess it does seem that money would solve all of his problems, what am I going to do?
Just now figuring out that joy and suffering are all tangled up together and to avoid one is to miss out on the other. Trying to grab hold of joy where ever it is found and hold on tight.
My Son, the Problem Solver

Sorry about the morning sickness girl. You poor thing.ReplyDelete
With Kai it's greed, lately. Why he shouldn't keep all the food to himself, why he should share with Jed and his sister. He usually understands about Kenya, but somehow because Jed's not in the fam or something he feels ripped off if Jed shares food with. So the lesson here is "there's enough for everyone."
Kinda opposite and the same at the same time.
