Today's Sacramento Bee headlines a story about the icon of the Wall Street "Meltdown," Blackstone, buying foreclosed houses across the USA, but particularly in California, to incorporate into a huge rental operation. It now owns 40,000 such homes. More importantly, Blackstone has leveraged all of these properties by bundling them into bonds to sell to investors. Blackstone intends to use the funds obtained from sale of the bonds to buy more units for its rental empire.
Those who follow this blog will recall that I wrote extensively about the "eminence grise" role played by Blackstone in the "Great Financial Meltdown of 2008″ and the ensuing "Great Recession of 2009." Blackstone was one of the major forces promoting mortgage backed securities, the so-called "toxic" securities, and a leading source of valuations for these investments that sold in private transactions and not on a public exchange. In spite of its leading role in promoting and selling these investments it was an early, if not the first, company to dismiss them as "junk" and thus drive their values down to the point that the whole financial structure was shaken to the core and, if not for brilliant work done by Hank Paulson, Ben Bernanke and Tim Geithner, would have collapsed.
I accused Blackstone of having orchestrated the whole debacle in order to push values on choice assets to fire sale prices, e.g. it bought a top financial concern in London for peanuts. It also bought up other investment houses for pennies on the dollar.
Staying close to its vulture like practices it is buying up foreclosed properties to use as rental units. Not a bad idea since we need more rental units now that home ownership is no longer the "right" of all Americans. I am happy to see this use of assets that had been vacant.
However, bundling these into bonds to sell to investors and use the profits to buy more such homes is identical to the massive leveraging that occurred from 2000 to 2007 using mortgage based securities. The difference is that the value of mortgage backed securities ran the risk of people paying on their loans, while Blackstone's rental empire runs the risk of people paying their rents on time. In fact, not a real difference in action, but in manner.
Question, if mortgage backed securities led to the "Great Recession" what will this new variation on the same theme do?

Take your small dog anywhere with a pet carrier
When a dog lover has a small puppy, it just won't do to keep him at home all the time. You want to take him out with you so you can show his cute little face off to the entire world. The problem with small dogs especially is that you do not always want to have them walk around on a leash, as they can easily get hurt – particularly in crowded places or where there are lots of cars – because young dogs are curious creatures and not always the most coordinated.
So what to do?
A small dog cycling backpack is just what you need to take your dog with you anywhere you go while keeping him close enough to make sure he's safe. Don't let them name fool you, products like these are not just for cyclists with pets, most of these backpacks can be used just as effectively for someone who's walking.
Take a look, for example, at the Travel Pet Carrier/Backpack with Wheels. You can put it on your back while your ride your bike or roll it alongside you as you walk. On top of that, it is very well ventilated so you can rest assured that your pet will stay cool and comfortable. Also, cat lovers will be pleased to know that this pet carrier can serve as a cat backpack carrier too, designed to work for felines as well as it does for canines – no pet left behind!
This summer when you are about to leave your house and your dog is giving you those irresistible puppy-dog eyes, you can give him what he wants. Put him in a pet carrier and take him with you. Just remember to take some treats and some extra water for him as it promises to be a hot summer out there.

How do I use Norton's theorem to determine the values of an equivalent current source on the right?
1 Answer | Add Yours
We transform the circuit on the left into a Norton equivalent circuit on the left (see attached picture below) .
The equivalent Norton current source `I_(No)` is the current that flows between points A and B if they are short-circuited.
`I_(No) = V/R_1 = 15/15 =1 A`
The equivalent Norton resistance `R_(No)` is the resistance between terminals A and B if all the voltage sources are short-circuited.
`R_(No) = R1 "parallel" R2 = (R1*R2)/(R1+R2) =(15*30)/(15+30) = 10 Omega`
Therefore the circuit on the left can be transformed into a current source `I_(No)=1 A` in parallel with a resistor `R_(No) =10 Omega` .

At the weekend, I met up with a friend from university who's now head online music strategist at a major record label.
This is amusing in itself: admittedly, the relevant friend is a couple of years older than me, music is is a young-ish industry, and young people are more likely to get the whole Internet paradigm – but given the obvious importance of online to the music industry's future, I'd still be wary of putting a 27 year old ex-management consultant in charge of the whole shebang…
More amusing still was his revelation of quite how clueless the company's senior managers actually are. I don't just mean their reluctance to listen to anything he says (my friend: "we're completely screwed unless we can make our whole catalogue available legally to buy online more conveniently than people can download it without paying"; his boss: "no way, that'll cannibalize CD sales").
No, the music industry's absurdity can be reduced to one meeting featuring my friend and a bunch of senior executives. Senior executive to friend: "You're low-paid like our customers – would you download music illegaly to save money? Would you be willing to pay up?".
This is suboptimal team management, obviously. But it's elevated to the realms of utter insanity by the fact that said friend is being paid around $100,000 a year. Why, that'll barely even buy you a yacht these days…
Record stupidity

Obama equals debt and $8 gas
Dear Mr. Hankins, in regard to Mitt Romney's business experience: Recently, we lost eight coal mines and 13,000 people lost their jobs. So, let's blame that on Romney, too.
Obama has only been a community organizer. He has NEVER earned a paycheck with his socialist agenda. If he is elected, we will end up having high energy prices and $8 a gallon gasoline just like Europe. And we will be $21 trillion in debt. Not enough Peters to pay Pauls.
I would rather take Mitt Romney and his business experience over Obama's non-business socialist beliefs.

GillesK, I would be very interested to see the class for using the db to store this info. I have the same concerns, I need to support autoscaling app in the cloud.
This extension serves as a replacement for the class CAssetManager. It publishes content on the Amazon AWS S3, allowing you to enable and use a CloudFront CDN for your assets.
To install just unzip into the protected folder . Warning! I used as a basis the extension ES3, so if you have it installed you may have name conflicts.
Basic configuration:
'components' = array( ...... 'cache'=>array( 'class'=>'system.caching.CMemCache', 'servers'=>array( array('host'=>'localhost', 'port'=>11211), ), ), 's3' => array( 'class' => 'ext.s3.ES3', 'aKey'=>'ADD YOUR AKEY HERE', 'sKey'=>'ADD YOUR SKEY HERE', ), 'assetManager' => array( 'class' => 'S3AssetManager', 'host' => 'Your-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com', // changing this you can point to your CloudFront hostname 'bucket' => 'Your-bucket', 'path' => 'assets', //or any other folder you want ), ...... )
Done! Your assets will be stored on Amazon!

Mitchell Starc's Bowling Impact in ODIs is almost 64% higher than in Tests. In ODIs, he has a failure rate of 26% whereas in Tests, it is 35%. When it comes to 5+ impact performances (very high impact) in a match, Starc has already produced six such performances in ODIs. He is yet to produce a single performance over the impact of 5 in Tests.
Alastair Cook's batting failure rate at Trent Bridge is 75% in 8 Tests— his worst at any venue in England. Ian Bell with a failure rate of 86% in 7 Tests though is the least consistent amongst all English batsmen at the venue since 2000.
Since 2000, Steven Finn has the highest Pressure-Building Impact (ability to take wickets in quick succession and to put the opposition under pressure) amongst all English pacers who have bowled in 20 or more Tests.
Failure rates of Australian middle-order batsmen since 2014 in Tests: Mitchell Marsh (40%), Michael Clarke (55%), Shaun Marsh (57%), Shane Watson (67%) and Brad Haddin (85%). When it comes to cumulative failure rate, only the West Indian middle-order has fared worse than Australia in this time-frame.
Only Steve Smith (10%) has a lower batting failure rate than Mominul Haque (11%) in the last one year in Tests.
In Ashes Tests since 2000, James Anderson is the third-lowest impact pacer for England after Steve Harmison and Ben Stokes (Min: 5 Tests). Anderson has been lower impact than the likes of Tim Bresnan, Simon Jones, Andrew Caddick, Andrew Flintoff and Matthew Hoggard in this time-frame.
Since 2000, England's lowest impact specialist batsman at Birmingham is Michael Vaughan followed by Ian Bell (Min: 5 Tests). Bell has a failure rate of 60% in the five Tests he has played there. England's highest impact batsmen at the venue in this time-frame are Kevin Pietersen, Marcus Trescothick and Alastair Cook.
Dwayne Bravo produced a tournament-defining performance (TD) for Trinidad & Tobago Red Steel in the recently concluded Caribbean Premier League. Bravo now has four TDs in his T20 career. It has been previously achieved by only two West Indians- Kieron Pollard (5) & Dwayne Smith (4).
The highest impact batsmen in the ongoing ODI series between Sri Lanka and Pakistan are Mohammad Hafeez, Shoaib Malik and Ahmed Shehzad whereas the highest impact bowlers are Mohammad Hafeez, Yasir Shah and Imad Wasim. The fact that all six of them are Pakistanis signifies Pakistan's dominance in the series.
Apart from Brad Haddin, Michael Carberry was the only other batsman to have a 0% failure rate (a Batting Impact of less than 1 in a game constitutes as a failure) in the last Ashes in Australia. Carberry never played a Test after that.
Despite having a batting average of just 42, Gundappa Viswanath is the fourth-highest impact batsman in India's Test cricket history (behind Dravid, Tendulkar and Gavaskar). His ability to absorb pressure (of falling wickets) is higher than the likes of Laxman and Dravid and the second-best in Indian Test cricket.

While smoking is seen by most as either a mere immediate pleasure or disgusting habit, it is the symbolism behind smoking that makes it so powerful: smoking has long been intertwined with our fundamental notions of freedom. Alexander II gave freedom to the smokers right before he gave freedom to the serfs, and almost any tyrant you can name, starting with Hitler, banned smoking outright or in practice; indeed, one of the sparks of the American Revolution itself was the right to smoke tobacco.

It's driving me crazy she says she loves me but if you love someone why would you keep it a secret? I'm making poor decisions in our relationship because of the stress, lies, and secrets. We have tried splitting up but we keep coming back. We are best friends and miss each other dearly when we are separated. I feel like our relationship was doomed from the beginning. I am willing to put the legwork in if we can be happy but it seems like it's one thing after another with us. Please help!
A: This isn't an on-and-off relationship, this is completely rancid. And you would be correct in your assumption that it was doomed from the beginning. For crying out loud, you've only been at this for 14 months and you have as many issues as Bonnie and Clyde. All you need now is a couple pistols, a stolen car, and a few aggravated felonies under your belts and the two of you are golden!
You can't continue in such a toxic relationship due to the obscene challenges you're already facing with your sobriety. Of course she is going to keep you a secret. Apparently her family knows of your past and she doesn't want to rock the boat with them or she's embarrassed to be associated with you. Although you don't allude to it, if it's an issue, she may very well be struggling to stay drug-free herself. You have more important things to worry about, like staying clean.
You can't exchange one obsession for another and you most certainly can't continue to subject yourself to such a negative environment and expect to continue successfully down the road to recovery. When you make a decision to take control of your life and rid yourself of a certain lifestyle, that includes the people you associate with who make things that much more difficult to do so. You want unconditional love and respect with no lies or secrets? At this juncture in your life-healing-rebuilding process, get a puppy because you're not yet ready for a relationship.

Two recent Ninth Circuit opinions and a California Supreme Court ruling demonstrate that the debate over the enforceability of consumer arbitration provisions is far from over. With the U.S. Supreme Court weighing whether to dive back into the debate this term, companies should take an opportunity to review their consumer arbitration provisions and seek assistance with navigating the newly emerging case law.
In Ferguson v. Corinthian Colleges, Inc., decided October 28, 2013, the Ninth Circuit held that California case law exempting claims for "public injunctive relief" from arbitration was preempted by the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA). Under the so-called Broughton-Cruz rule, California courts permitted consumers to act as private attorneys general under state consumer protection statutes, despite the existence of otherwise binding arbitration agreements, and seek injunctive relief in court designed to benefit the general public. The courts held that claims for public injunctive relief were not suitable for arbitration because courts were better equipped to administer such a remedy than arbitrators.
The Ninth Circuit, however, held that the Broughton-Cruz rule was "clearly incompatible" with subsequent U.S. Supreme Court decisions such as AT&T Mobility LLC v. Concepcion, Marmet Health Care Center, Inc. v. Brown, and Nitro-Lift Technologies, LLC v. Howard. Those decisions, the Ninth Circuit concluded, hold that the FAA preempts state law that "prohibits outright arbitration of a particular type of claim" and requires courts to "rigorously enforce arbitration agreements according to their terms."
In addition, the Ninth Circuit found that the Broughton-Cruz rule was flawed because it ran afoul of the principles set forth in American Express Co. v. Italian Colors Restaurant. In that case, the Supreme Court rejected the argument that arbitration agreements should not be enforced if the plaintiffs cannot effectively vindicate their rights in arbitration.
Nevertheless, on the same date it decided Ferguson, the Ninth Circuit affirmed a district court's denial of a motion to compel arbitration of class action claims asserting violations of California labor law. In Chavarria v. Ralphs Grocery Co., the Ninth Circuit agreed with the district court that the arbitration provision was both procedurally and substantively unconscionable.
The Ninth Circuit emphasized that the arbitration terms were not provided to the employee-plaintiff until three weeks after she had agreed to be bound by them. Moreover, the arbitration clause prohibited the use of institutional administrators such as the American Arbitration Association and JAMS and imposed prohibitive administrative and filing costs on the plaintiff. The Ninth Circuit determined that its ruling was not preempted by the FAA because in American Express, the Supreme Court noted that an arbitration agreement might be unenforceable if it required a plaintiff to pay administrative and filing fees that are "so high as to make access to the forum impracticable."
Earlier in October, the California Supreme Court held that even after Concepcion, "state courts may continue to enforce unconscionability rules that do not interfere with fundamental attributes of arbitration." The issue in Sonic-Calabasas A, Inc. v. Moreno was whether employees who had agreed to arbitrate wage disputes could be required to waive their statutory right to a state administrative hearing that would assist them in recovering wages owed.
The court concluded that although Concepcion preempts a state law rule categorically prohibiting the waiver of such hearings in an arbitration agreement, "such an agreement may be unconscionable if it is otherwise unreasonably one-sided in favor of the employee." The case was remanded to the trial court to determine whether the arbitration agreement was unconscionable.
The interplay between FAA preemption principles and state law unconscionability doctrines may be addressed again by the U.S. Supreme Court if it grants the petition for certiorari filed on July 24, 2013, in Geneva-Roth Ventures v. Kelker. The petition presents the question of whether the FAA preempts Montana's rule subjecting arbitration provisions in standard-form contracts to a heightened standard of consent that does not apply to other terms in form contracts. The Court should rule on the petition within the next few months.
In the meantime, companies should make sure that their consumer arbitration provisions are as consumer-friendly as possible to avoid the results in Chavarria and Sonic-Calabasas. We routinely draft and revise consumer arbitration agreements for clients taking into account new court decisions and emerging legal theories.

|Amanda Hall
The University of New Hampshire women's gymnastics team narrowly defeated the Rutgers University Scarlet Knights 191.6-190.825 on Sunday afternoon. The Wildcats relied on steady performances from a variety of gymnasts in their season-opener. The Wildcats were forced to count four falls in two events, yet were able to scrape out a victory against the conference foe.
Junior Amanda Hall (Bremerton, Wash.) earned a second-place finish in the all-around event with a score of 38.225. Rutgers sophomore Elizabeth Fittery narrowly edged out Hall, earning the first-place title in all around with her score of 38.375. Rutgers senior Nicci Bradder finished third in the event, scoring a 37.925
Starting out the meet on vault, the Wildcats dominated in their first rotation. Sophomore Jennifer Jones (Billerica, Mass.) was the first to compete for the 'Cats, setting the tone with a fourth-place finish and a score of 9.625. Hall claimed the first-place title in the event, scoring a 9.875. Senior Tara Phillips (Houston, Texas) and senior co-captain Vanessa James (Malden, Mass.) rounded out the top three finishes with scores of 9.8 and 9.75, respectively.
Moving on to the second rotation, the 'Cats saw stellar performances on the uneven bars from both veterans and rookie athletes. Hall again claimed the title in the event, scoring a 9.8. Freshman Katelyn Schenkel (Pittsford, N.Y.) stepped up in her first ever collegiate performance, earning a second-place finish with her score of 9.75. James was close behind Schenkel with her own 9.725--good for third place. Freshmen Rebekah Porter (Valparaiso, Ind.) and Beth Bronson (Jacksonville, Fla.) claimed the fifth and sixth finishes with scores of 9.70 and 9.65, respectively.
The Wildcats would need to rely on the early lead they had built over the Scarlet Knights, as they were forced to count three falls on beam. Freshman Christa Tafaro (Jackson, N.J.) was one of two UNH gymnasts able to stay on the beam, walking away with the title in the event. Freshman Zoe Magiros (Parsippany, N.J.) was the 'Cats' next-highest finisher in sixth place with a score of 9.550. After three events, UNH led Rutgers with a score of 143.8-143.125.
Closing the meet on floor exercise, the 'Cats knew they would have to really dig in to hold on to their lead. Hall came through with her top performance of the night, scoring a 9.925 and easily taking home the first-place crown. Porter also put together a solid performance, earning second place with her own 9.8. The 1-2 punch of Hall and Porter was enough to clinch the narrow victory, as the Scarlet Knights also faced some low scores on beam.
The' Cats look to come out stronger as they take on Rhode Island and Yale in Kingston, R.I. on Jan. 16 at 1 p.m. UNH returns to action at home on Jan 22 at 7 p.m. as they face Brigham Young University in the Lundholm Gymnasium.

Blue and Gold Fleet Marine Operations
NPS, Sound Environmental Management on Land and Shore
A leading environmental steward in marine tourism, Blue and Gold Fleet (B&G) provides fast, clean, and efficient ferry services for more than 1.5 million people yearly between San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf, NPSs Alcatraz Island, and commuter ferries for several bay area cities. B&G Fleet partners with the National Park Service and the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy in many projects to protect, stabilize and rehabilitate Alcatrazs natural and cultural resources. B&G also partners with Marine agencies, including the Marine Mammal Center to insure that ferry operations have minimal impact on sea lion populations, up from ten in 1989 to 1,341 in 2003. B&Gs Green Waves Environmental Management System is an exemplary launch pad for comprehensive environmental management that now influences all phases of B&G operations. In 2003, B&G tested biodiesel fuel in its 400 passenger ferry, Oski, an important step to help reduce our nations dependence on foreign oil as well as to reduce impacts to the environment.

Biogeochemistry is a rapidly growing subdiscipline within the geological and environmental sciences. Research in biogeochemistry is inherently multidisciplinary, reflecting complex process at the intersection of biology, geology and chemistry .
Professor Lisa M. Pratt is Chair of the Department, and Director of a new NASA ASTEP project entitled, "Shallow-Borehole array for measuring Greenland Emission of trace gases as an analogue for methane on Mars (GETGAMM)." Her collaborative research with Tullis Onstott (Princeton) on radiolysis of water as a source of subsurface energy for microbial growth has been highlighted by NSF under the caption Radiation Eaters. She has active field campaigns in arctic permafrost and in saline-alkaline lakes on the Oregon Basalt Plateau to study sulfate reducing and sulfide oxidizing microbial communities.
Deciphering and understanding biogeochemical processes and their evolution over geological time requires investigation of sedimentary records that preserve chemical clues of biological activity. Professor Simon Brassell explores the characteristics, abundances, and isotopic compositions of discrete molecules – biomarkers– as tools for assessment of microbial communities and processes, biological productivity, and episodes of perturbations of the carbon cycle related to environmental and evolutionary change, and as paleoclimate proxies.
Laura Wasylenki is a biogeochemist investigating metal chemistry in the earth's lithosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. Specifically she examines stable isotope fractionation of transition and post-transition metals in order to develop new tools for tracing chemical reactions that involve metals.
Stable isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen in organic materials are used by Arndt Schimmelmann to understand which environmental conditions lead to certain stable isotopic signatures in modern biological materials and in fossils (for example, bones). Some of Schimmelmann's research requires oceanographic cruises to collect marine organic matter from the water column and from sediments. Similar isotopic techniques are applied to characterize the origin and thermal maturation of coal, petroleum and natural gas.
Peter Sauer uses tree-rings and sediments from lakes and oceans to study paleoclimate. He uses organic biomarkers and stable isotope ratios of carbon, nitrogen, and hydrogen to develop proxies of past environmental conditions. His projects range from late Paleozoic paleoceanography to late Holocene climate variability and the detection of anthropogenic climate change.
Our state-of-the-art instrumentation can be viewed on an illustrated tour of the Stable Isotope Research Facility. Contact our technical staff about questions relating to the use of our facilities. Read about current graduate students and post-docs and their research projects, and about recent graduates and the titles of their theses. A list of selected recent publications is also available.

Blackboard's approach to determining browser testing and validation is driven by two main considerations:
When a browser is listed as tested and validated, Blackboard is committed to supporting client usage in two main ways:
Blackboard tests and validates four primary browsers for Learn releases. Links to the vendor sites for the browsers are included below.
This includes two browsers that follow a traditional software update path with periodic releases of new versions as Generally Available, typically tied to a particular operating system (OS):
Certain Internet Explorer configuration options can make it difficult to use some features of Blackboard Learn. To learn more, see the Internet Explorer Security Zones and Compatibility View topic in this section.
This also includes two browsers that follow a cross-operating system, channel-based rapid software update path:
With these browsers, Blackboard tests their latest "stable" release channel at the time of testing, which is the channel that gets the most testing by the browser vendors themselves before being released to users.
In addition, Blackboard tests and validates Firefox's specialized Extended Support Release (ESR) channel, which is a subset of their stable channel designed for enterprise-wide deployment. To learn more, see Firefox's Extended Support Release page.
If you need information about the specific versions of each browser that were tested and validated when a particular version of Learn was released, see the Release Notes for that released.
The rendering layer of Blackboard Learn consists of Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), and JavaScript that all comply with modern standards for those languages.
Our universal design approach focuses on interoperability. This means that wherever possible we do not write code specific to a certain browser or we use the minimum amount of encapsulation to handle variations among the browsers.
This design approach to the rendering layer of Blackboard Learn allows us to be confident that new versions of browsers, when released, will continue to work with current versions of Learn.
To verify this confidence with each new release, Blackboard executes our browser compatibility test suite against newly released browser versions on multiple OS combinations to ensure function prior to releasing a given version. This testing leverages the full set of automation and manual testing strategies available to ensure confidence in testing.
Because of the increased frequency of new browser version released by some vendors, Blackboard's policy is to support all new browser versions released to the market as Generally Available or by supported release channels, even if the browser is released after testing has concluded for the release. We address any critical browser issues found by clients in the field against a provisionally supported browser as a top priority. We execute frequent test cycles against new browsers to ensure the system continues to perform as expected and will update client facing supported browser documentation appropriately.
Just as we recommend keeping up with the latest version of Blackboard Learn for the best experience, the browser vendors make the same recommendation about their software. Some older versions of browsers from some vendors may have rendering issues with newer versions of Learn, and some newer browser versions may have rendering issues with older versions of Learn.
Blackboard still accepts client issues for these browsers reported to Support and will attempt to replicate the issue on a fully supported browser. If it cannot replicate the issue, Blackboard will recommend that the client move to a browser version fully supported by Blackboard. In some cases, an additional recommendation might be to update to a more modern version of Learn.
Additional acceptance of persistent cookies or third-party cookies may be required for some features to function correctly, including WebDAV access to course files or content collection files and access to users' Blackboard profiles and Social Tools. To learn more, see the Using Persistent Cookies topic and the Social Learning Tools topic.
Blackboard also provides a Building Block to allow users to acknowledge a cookie disclosure statement when logging in to Blackboard Learn, as is required in some places. To learn more about this Building Block, see the Security Management - Cookie Disclosure topic.
A handful of Blackboard Learn features require particular additional software to be installed. Without these, the features themselves do not function. Users may be prompted to install the additional software when accessing these features, or depending on individual browser security settings, users may need to acknowledge a browser message allowing the plugin to run on their system.
If you need information about the specific features that require browser plugins for a particular service pack of Learn or version information for the plugins themselves, see the Release Notes for that service pack.
Blackboard Learn can be used to serve media content or other types of specialized content that requires a browser plugin such as Java, Flash Player, Apple QuickTime, or other plugins to render the content. In these scenarios, the version of the plugin and the browsers that are compatible with the plugin, as well as installation and configuration instructions for the plugin, are determined by the nature of the content and will vary.
Blackboard strives to make all its products as accessible as possible. To learn more about assistive technologies, visit http://access.blackboard.com

Sacramento flood chief gets 27 percent raise
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - The head of the Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency is getting a 27 percent raise despite the mayor's objections.
Executive Director Stein Buer will see his annual salary rise from $153,874 to $195,000.
It's actually a reduction from the increase the agency approved for Buer in January. He was to receive a $57,000 raise, to $210,000, as the board considered giving multiple employees large raises.
But the board has since scaled back most of the raises. Besides Buer, the board on Monday gave an increase of less than 3 percent to one other employee.
Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, who sits on the board, was unable to attend Monday's meeting but says through a spokesman that he opposes the raises.
The flood board's money comes mostly from the state.

The Rattan Rams also headed to the State Tournament for Class A Baseball in Oklahoma City on Thursday, May 5, 2011. Previous to State they had won their Regional Tournament on their home field by beating out three other teams.
At the State Tournament the Rams defeated Caddo in the quarter finals on Thursday with a score of 12 to 4. Fans of both teams realized that Parker Taylor was as good as advertised, which meant Caddo stood very little chance. Taylor, Rattan's senior ace, struck out eight total, including the side in the first inning , and didn't allow an earned run in four innings as the Rams cruised to the semifinals. Behind his pitching performance, Rattan was able to jump out to an 8-1 lead after only three innings. That included a five-run third inning that featured a three-run homer by designated hitter Colby Chandler, who finished 2-for-3 with four RBI.  Parker was 2-for-3 at the plate with an RBI as Rattan finished with nine hits. The Rams also benefited from six Caddo errors.
On Friday, the Rams went up against Okarche in the semifinals. As it turned out, two pitchers were finally better than one. Despite an admirable effort by Rattan's Parker Taylor, both at the plate and on the mound, Okarche played itself into its third consecutive Class A baseball championship game with an 11-8 win in 11 innings at Dolese Park in OKC.
Okarche led 8-2 entering the bottom of the sixth inning before Rattan finally kicked it into gear. Three Okarche errors and four Rattan hits, including a three-run triple by Taylor, allowed the Rams to tie it all up. The triple was Parker's second of the game, but it was also about the time he began to heat up on the mound.
Okarche scored a run in the first, five in the third and two more in the fourth to earn its lead. However, Taylor, who dropped to 14-2 with the loss, began to settle down and didn't give up a run or a hit over the next five innings.
The Warriors finally got to him again in the top of the 11th when they started off with a walk and eventually scored the go-ahead run.
Taylor struck out 12 in the losing effort. He finished 3-for-6 with four RBI at the plate. No other Ram had multiple hits.
Okarche ended up winning with a final score of 11 over Rattan's 8 in the 11th inning. It was a very tightly played game by both teams. Congratulations Rams for all your hard work! You did great!View more articles in:

Head Quarters, at
2nd. Brigade, 3rd. Division
21st. Oct: 1838
Major Genl: D. R. Atchison.
Sir. I received yours of the 16th inst.
from Boonville, which I will let remains until I see
you_ I have now returned from the Country of Daviesz & assure
you this County is agitated by a deeper & more desperate
excitement than I have yet witnessed. I left the place
on tuesday the 16th inst. with two companies of mounted
men, having directed Col. Dunn to precede me to Daviesz
County, where I had good evidence to believe the troopz
and intending to act against Adamon Diahman
intending to cooperate with Genl. Doniphan. & the remainder
of the troops. I had proceeded on to the Head waters of
Crooked River, when a severe snowstorm over took us
& we were compelled to abandon the undertaking, for
the present, the troops, were dismissed until further
ordersz, and the troops under Col. Dunn had been
ordered home by Genl. Doniphan, who came as far
with a part of my staff proceeded onto
which I reached on Tuesday night, & learning that
the Clay Troops had gone home, I determined to
proceed to Daviesz, & examine the state of the Country._
on thursday I proceeded on to the town of
had burnt a store house in
to Jacob Stollingz-I sent two men to see and
learn the fact. & on their return confirmed the
news I saw at Adam on Diahmon about 500
Mormonz, under armz. all well armed, about
200 of them mounted_ I asked them their motive
in appearing in armz_their answer waz "they
intended to defend that place-they had been driven
from Dewitt & other placez, and here they were
determined to stand and die rather than be driven
from that place"_
I next visited Mill port & found on
my way down the ridge, that the inhabitants
had left their housez, and all above Pennington's
have fled- That County is in a worse State than
at any former period, and I believe that the
Mormons are now the aggressors, as I have
seen many depredationz, which they have com:
:mitted- I have certificates of their having taken
armz from the Citizen of Daviesz forcibly in The
excitement in this County is more deep and
full of vengeanes than I have yet seen it- &
I would not be surprised, if some signal act
of vengeance would be taken on these fanatickz-
Wednesday next is fixed for a full and general
meeting of the citizens of this County to take
into consideration, the steps necessary to be taken
in this state of affairz-I do not know what to do.
I will remain passive until I hear from you
I do not believe calling out the militia
would avail any thing towards restoring
peace, unlesz they were called out in such
force as to fight the Mormonz & drive them
from the Country- This would satisfy this
people-but I cannot agree to it. I hold myself
ready to execute as far as I can go any order
from you, and wish you to advise the Com:
:mander-in-chief as to the situation of the
upper Country-perhaps a visit from
him would have some effect in ally:
:ing the excitement- I remain your

Representatives from Delta Dental - including mascot "Marshall Molar" - visited students at Desert View Elementary and Ann Parish Elementary in Los Lunas Thursday to teach them about brushing, flossing and keeping teeth clean - crucial tools for avoiding issues in the classroom.
"Tooth decay continues to be the number one most chronic childhood diseases and in schools today that's affecting children," Delta Dental representative Sara Limon said. "Missing school means missing reading so the tie between dental health and literacy is very important."
The National Institute of Health says students lose 51 million hours of class time every year because of oral health issues. Experts say without regular hygiene and preventative care, minor issues become major problems and cost more than just the kids.
"It's also an incredible expense to the state," Dr. Erik Watson said. "When children end up with rampant cavities they end up having to go to the operating room. It costs at least $7,000 to $8,000 dollars per case, and unfortunately the state absorbs a lot of that cost."
So while a visit from "Marshall Molar" may seem like just fun and games, dentists say every reminder helps.
"If we can get children in here early, have parents understand how important it is to stop oral disease in the first place, we can save them money, we can save the state money, we can save the child a lot of distress," Watson said.

OK It is solved. This thread can be closed now.
Thanks to skellinator who helped me in the chat I am now running IOS 58 and got the WIIMC channel installed.
My problem was I was running version .6 of hackmii instead of version .8
Once I installed version .8 everything went just as it should have.
Hopefully this will help someone in the future.

Dance makes dating less scaryWritten by Brandi Barhite | Community Ombudsman | firstname.lastname@example.com
Dating doesn't have to be scary.
Glass City Singles offers a safe and fun environment for singles 35 and older to meet friends and possibly a mate, according to owner Jack Harris.
The upcoming Halloween dance is a highly anticipated event for local singles, he said. The dance will be from 8:30 p.m. to 1 a.m. Oct. 31 at Gladieux Meadows, 4480 Heatherdowns Blvd., with entertainment by Jackpot Band. Costumes are optional with cash prizes awarded.
"We started 26 years at Asbury Church on Dorr Street, and it progressed from there," Harris said of Glass City Singles. "We used to do three dances per week, but we are down to one per week because of the economy.
"Toledo is a hard place for singles, very difficult," he said. "The only place you can find a single person is at a nightclub, and everybody is in their 20s. … When you are tired of nightclubs, you come in and see us."
The weekly dances attract hundreds of people.
"It is a nice social event for a single who is looking for someplace to be rather than home alone," Harris said, who was married when he started the group and has since become single. "If you know where the Stranahan is, you can find us.
"You would be surprised how many people come week after week," he said. "It is like a home. It's a 'everybody knows your name place', which makes it harder for somebody new to come in, so you have to come a couple of times to get around that."
In addition to singles, couples who met through the group still attend the dances. Cindy and Don Carsten of Point Place met during the dance lessons taught before the Friday night dances.
"I was going for a quite awhile before that, and Don was going two years before that," Cindy said of meeting her husband. "That hall is so big with so many people; we never saw each other until we started dance lessons."
The Halloween dance is a big event for them.
"We go every Friday. In fact; we help Jack when we can as far as setting up," she said. "We have lots of friends there."
