Top Durham council candidates skeptical of 751 job claims
The top two candidates for the City Council's Ward 3 vacancy both voiced skepticism Friday about claims that the controversial 751 South project would create the sort of jobs likely to alleviate poverty.
Former Durham Planning Commission Chairman Don Moffitt tied his doubts to the site's location on the edge of Durham, away from city transit routes, and to the failure of county officials to secure binding, legally enforceable pledges from the developers.
Without those pledges, 751 South could wind up being another in a string of projects where "10 years down the road there's deep disappointment about" the lack of obvious effects on inner-city unemployment, he said.
Fellow contender Anita Daniels, meanwhile, said she has hasn't heard much to suggest 751's commercial component would spin off jobs paying enough to be the sole source of income to those holding them.
"If the jobs will produce the salaries people need to live comfortably in our community, then that makes sense to me," she said. "If it's more Walmart [or] Target, I don't have anything against those companies, but I know the hourly wage they pay and people will have to work extra hours or work second jobs."
The extra work low-income breadwinners have to put in to make ends meet winds up straining families and children because there isn't enough time left in the day to properly attend to their needs, she said, adding that officials in sizing up a developer's promises should look at whether new jobs are likely to pay $38,000 a year or more.
The comments from Moffitt and Daniels came Friday as the remaining six council members interviewed would-be appointees to the seat that former Councilman Mike Woodard vacated earlier this week.
Woodard is about to become a state senator. The council will appoint a replacement for him on Monday, the winner serving until the current Ward 3 term expires in December.
Daniels has received support for the job from two of Durham's big-three political groups, the Friends of Durham and the Durham Committee on the Affairs of Black People. Moffitt has backing from the third, the People's Alliance.
Both have also run previously for elective office. They're facing newcomers Edward Kwon and Jason Melehani, both of whom showed up for their interviews on Friday and remain in the running.
Friday's session also established that all six remaining council members will participate in the selection. Ailing Councilman Howard Clement, an infrequent presence at meetings over the past year, was feeling well enough to attend Friday and made it clear his voice will be heard.
Clement wasn't happy with the responses either leading candidate offered to his questions about 751.
When it comes to reducing poverty, "we can be long on rhetoric and short on reality," he told Daniels. "We need to get long on reality. To me a job is a job. Living comfortably is relative."
Council members and candidates in the interview also delved repeatedly into the issue of affordable housing, as an adjunct to how to deal with poverty.
Moffitt said Durham officials should address both rental and owner-occupied units, for the latter following Chapel Hill's example by working with groups that would hold title to the land under a project in trust.
That way, the houses on a site could be sold to buyers without the first ones to buy reaping an unfair windfall when it comes time to move on, he said.
Daniels focused mainly on rental units, supporting Durham's traditional approach of knocking down dilapidated structures and replacing them with new units. In answer to a question from Mayor Bill Bell, she said she'd be open to using city funds to subsidize tenants' rent payments.

Union County residents will have an updated bird's eye view of the county as elected officials plan a new contract to supplement their geographic information system (GIS).
The Union County Board of Supervisors plans to sign with Pictometry International Corp. for the aerial photographs, which will be taken later this spring.
"We are having a new flight done," said Union County Assessor Gene Haner. "The old flight is five to six years old now."
The contract is three payments of about $18,000 over three years. The county assessor will cover half the cost, while supervisors and engineer split the remainder.
The expense is figured into their upcoming budgets. The assessor can use the images in the GIS program to see the owner, parcel number and legal description of properties in the county. Secondary roads can use the GIS to see bridges, road names and signage throughout the county.
"The county engineer is using it more and more," said Union County Supervisor Chairperson Dennis Brown. "We are renewing it because the original contract we signed has run out."
Everyone can access the sites basic level and select a variety of viewing options. To access the site, visit the Union County assessor's website and click the GIS mapping tab on the left side of the page.
New chairperson
The Union County Board of Supervisors voted Brown to be the new chairperson for 2014 during a special session at the Union County Courthouse Jan. 2.
Brown replaces Ron Riley, who served as chairperson in 2013. Lois Monday remains the vice chairperson.
"We plan on maintaining what we have been doing from last year, keep on keeping on and keep paying down our debt," Brown said. "We will continue as a team, we being everyone in the courthouse." Brown said the board planned to rotate the responsibilities of being chairperson because of the increased work load for all three supervisors after the board was reduced from five to three members in January 2013.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo has fired his Emergency Management Director.
Steven Kuhr allegedly diverted a crew to remove debris at his home on Long Island after Superstorm Sandy hit.
Kuhr had been paid $153,000 a year in his position.
The governor has bitterly criticized utilities for what he said has been slow progress restoring power to customers from the Hudson Valley through Long Island.

Comments about Spark R&D Afterburner Splitboard Baseplate Kit 2014:
EVO Note: This conversion kit cannot be used on 11/12 and prior bindings without an additional $25 heel loop from Spark. The holes on the old heel cup do not transfer over to the new baseplate. This is not mentioned on the site, nor offered as a purchase. Must be corrected.Review: I have not had these out on the snow yet due to the above, but the lack of pins is a SIGNIFICANT upgrade in functionality. The Spark system was always self clearing and the elimination of the pin works great. The incorporation of the risers into the baseplate provides a less wobbly base to stand on and looks to be easier to operate with a pole. Plus the riser base support should give a little more room to make stance adjustments compared to dual wire risers of the past.Cannot wait to get these out on tour (but need more snow first)

Most people who are considering suicide do not want to die, they want to stop hurting and they cannot find a way through their hopelessness. They may not ask for help, but because they don't ask, it doesn't mean they don't want help.
Someone contemplating suicide is desperate to escape some type of suffering that for them has come to the point that they can no longer bear the burden. They are so distraught and blinded by their own hopelessness, fears, self loathing and isolation that the only way they can see to get relief is through death. This doesn't mean they want to die; it means they need help. Most suicidal people are very conflicted about the potential of ending their own lives and want an alternative, but they just can't find it on their own. You can help them.
Most individuals who are contemplating suicide usually give signals or warning signs of their intentions, whether they want to or not. The best defense we have against suicide is to be aware of these signs and to take them seriously. By paying attention to actions and statements and taking the steps to intervene you may save a life.
Some warning signs to be aware of are:
If you believe that a family member or friend is suicidal you can point out alternatives for them, show compassion and caring, notify their doctor or psychologist. You need to be there to listen and while listening pay close attention for any signs of imminent suicide. If you strongly believe that they are suicidal do not leave them alone.
If you or someone you love is thinking of suicide speak up. Do not ignore the signs of potential suicide. Every life is worth saving and you can do something to save that life. With understanding, support and reassurance you can help them get the help they need to cope with the issues in their life. Do not be afraid to speak up but it must be said, it must be addressed, you cannot ignore signs of suicide.
If you are considering suicide or you believe someone you love is thinking of suicide please call 1-800-273-TALK to get help.

KINGSTON, R.I. – Terrance
Fox (Piscataway N.J.) established career bests with 11
catches for 118 yards and two touchdowns, but the University of
Rhode Island football team defeated the eighth-ranked University of
New Hampshire, 28-25, at Meade Stadium on Saturday afternoon in the
Colonial Athletic Association opener for both schools.
Trailing 25-21 with 2:23 remaining in the fourth quarter, Rhode Island defensive end Victor Adesanya sacked UNH senior quarterback R.J. Toman (Mission Viejo, Calif.), forcing a fumble that was recovered and returned 39 yards for a touchdown by defensive lineman James Timmins, allowing the Rams to grab the lead for the third and final time, 28-25.
New Hampshire (1-2 overall, 0-1 CAA) had its last drive halted when Toman's pass on 3rd-and-11 from the URI 42-yard line was intercepted by safety Matt Urban, preserving Rhody's first victory over the Wildcats since 2003.
Toman finished the day 31 of 44, both career highs, for 284 yards and two touchdowns and was the Wildcats' leading rusher with 15 carries for 25 yards and a score.
Rhode Island (1-2, 1-0) parlayed an early UNH turnover into a 3-0 lead with 10:37 left in the first quarter. After the Wildcats stopped the Rams' opening drive, the ensuing punt glanced off the leg of a UNH player and was recovered by URI at the 'Cats' 7-yard line. Facing third-and-goal, Rhody junior quarterback Steve Probst was stuffed on a keeper by UNH sophomore linebacker Matt Evans (Hanover, Mass.), forcing the Rams to settle for Louis Feinstein's 20-yard field goal.
The Wildcats struck right back on their first drive, going 70 yards in just six plays to grab a 7-3 lead with 7:59 remaining in the first quarter. Sophomore wide receiver Joey Orlando (Bethlehem, Pa.) made his first two catches of the season during the drive, including a 25-yard reception from Toman on a fade along the right sideline to put the ball in Rhode Island territory. Two plays later, Toman faked a handoff, rolled to his right, found a lane and then outran the Rams' defense for a 28-yard touchdown. Sophomore kicker A.J. DeLago (Menands, N.Y.) added the extra point.
The UNH defense shut down URI's next drive, highlighted by the first career sack for sophomore defensive tackle Randi Vines (Santa Clara, Calif.), making his first career start, on 3rd-and-20. The Rams were forced to punt from their own 16, and Fox returned the punt 16 yards to the Rams' 44-yard line.
Fox would reap the benefits of the great field position by concluding a six-play, 44-yard drive at 3:47 of the opening stanza with his first touchdown reception of the season. Fox took a Toman screen pass and followed a key block from senior wide receiver Kevon Mason (Quincy, Mass.) along the right sideline for a 19-yard score. Junior quarterback Kevin Decker (Armonk, N.Y.) hooked up with senior wide receiver Chris Chandler (Wakefield, Mass.) for the successful two-point conversion, staking the 'Cats to a 15-3 advantage.
Rhode Island trimmed the deficit to 15-10 with 13:14 left in the second quarter on a five-yard pass from Probst to junior wide receiver Anthony Baskerville. The 3rd-and-1 pass play concluded a seven-play, 66-yard drive.
On URI's next scoring drive, Probst called his own number and rumbled 58 yards down to the UNH 6-yard line. Again, the Wildcats' defense held, and all the Rams would come away with was Feinstein's second field goal of the game, a 23-yarder with 3:04 left in the half, cutting New Hampshire's lead to 15-13.
At the start of the second half, Toman accounted for all 57 yards of a 10-play drive, completing six passes for 55 yards and rushing for two yards before redshirt freshman Mike MacArthur (North Hampton, N.H.) kicked a 26-yard field goal, the first of his career, staking New Hampshire to an 18-13 lead with 11:38 remaining in the third period. Fox had two grabs for 30 yards on the drive, and Mason added two receptions for 13 yards.
The UNH defense forced turnovers on each of URI's next two possessions, with senior defensive back Ryan McGuinness (Howell, N.J.) picking off Probst at the Rhode Island 42-yard line with :45 remaining in the third quarter, and Dino Vasso (Crum Lynne, Pa.) registering his first interception of the year, snatching a Probst throw at the UNH 42-yard line with 12:45 remaining in the fourth period.
The Rams finally broke through with an eight-play, 80-yard drive culminating in Probst's two-yard touchdown run with 8:13 remaining. Probst kept it himself for the two-point conversion, as Rhody reclaimed the lead, 21-18.
Toman then went to work, orchestrating a four-play, 60-yard drive in just 1:17 to put the Wildcats back in front. The signal caller went 4-for-4 on the drive, connecting with Orlando (career-highs: 6 catches-81 yards) for passes of four and 33 yards before Fox hauled in a two-yard pass and then was on the receiving end of Toman's 50th career touchdown pass, a 21-yarder with 6:56 left that lifted the UNH to a 25-21 lead following MacArthur's PAT.
The Rams' next drive was snuffed out when 'Cats junior defensive end Brian McNally (Cornwall, N.Y.) came around left end to sack Probst on a 3rd-and-13 from the URI 23 with five minutes left in the game.
The Wildcats next take to the gridiron Saturday, Sept. 25, against Lehigh University at Cowell Stadium. Kickoff is slated for 12 p.m. For ticket information, call 1-800-745-3000, visit the Whittemore Center box office weekdays from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. or CLICK HERE.

Honolulu Museum of Art Spalding House, is the only museum in the state dedicated exclusively to contemporary art between 1940 and the present. Housed in the historic Cooke-Spalding house in residential Makiki Heights neighborhood, a wide variety of works are on display at TCM.
Artists represented in the collection include such internationally renowned names as Josef Albers, Jennifer Bartlett, Jim Dine, Jasper Johns, William Kentridge and Andy Warhol. The museum's Milton Cades Pavilion showcases a three-dimensional environment created in 1983 by British artist David Hockney, inspired by the Maurice Ravel opera, L'Enfant et les Sortiléges (The Child and the Enchantment). Call ahead or check TMC's website to confirm what's on view, since exhibitions change regularly and galleries sometimes close for maintenance.
The Contemporary Museum's five-acre gardens were designed and created between 1928 and 1941 by Reverend K. H. Inagaki. The sloping hillside is now an extensive sculpture garden featuring kinetic sculpture by George Rickey and bronze works by Saturo Abe, among others, plus picture-perfect views of Diamond Head and Honolulu. A secluded garden ravine named Nu'umealani, or Heavenly Terraces, create a retreat that the New York Times called "a cathedral of meditation." Century-old trees and hundreds of tropical plants flourish in the garden, among them purple-berried kopsia, monumental banyans, Chinese fan palms, breadfruit, and mango trees.
The museum café is a popular lunch destination. Reservations are recommended, and you can also order the "Lauhala and Lunch" picnic service for two. Call ahead or place your order before touring the museum, and then pick up a picnic basket and lauhala mat and find a spot for lunch anywhere on the museum grounds.
If you plan to tour the gardens or order the picnic lunch, make sure to bring mosquito repellent. The museum is small; expect to spend less than an hour inside and an hour or more on the grounds, plus time for the café.

Facing the future
Oldies 93.9 DJ Jesse De Leon slowly recovers from bike accident
A local disc jockey's bicycle ride rolled into a struggle to survive after he was struck by a pickup three months ago, but music still spins in his soul and he's grateful to be alive.
"It's a strange journey to make," said Jesus "Jesse" De Leon III, who is convalescing at his parents' Harlingen home. "Wearing a helmet absolutely saved my life."
De Leon, 42, has been using a wheelchair to restrict use of his left leg, which suffered nerve damage resulting from pelvic injuries. He's girdled in a white plastic torso brace and has a surgical scar stretching from his right eye across his jaw into his neck. His right eye droops, and his broken nose sits slightly off center.
"It needs to be back in the middle of my face," he said.
De Leon was hospitalized through mid-October. He has seen countless doctors who have checked internal organ function, bone damage and assessed his cosmetic needs. He is facing several plastic surgeries to repair the damage caused when his face hit the ground.
"This is who I am now," De Leon said, "but I'm grateful to have my life, and am determined to get back to work."
De Leon is a morning-show personality for Oldies 93.9 and freelance writer of a weekly album review column, Sound Check, which appears in the Weekend section of the Caller-Times. He has resumed writing his column, but it will be weeks before he will return to the airwaves.
He doesn't remember the accident, only that he and his girlfriend extended their usual biking route to fetch a newspaper at a convenience store.
Martha "Marty" Anzaldua was riding in front of De Leon northbound on Alameda Street in the curb lane about 11 a.m. Aug. 27 near Claremore Street. She had just asked him where he had put the newspaper.
"He told me it was on his handlebars," said the 35-year-old Clear Channel radio station advertising manager, who has been dating De Leon for four years. "I heard a loud pop, like a tire blew out," Anzaldua said, "and the next thing I remember was us rolling on the ground."
De Leon flew over her, she said, and landed about 15 feet away in a grassy area next to the sidewalk.
"We were just out for a ride," De Leon said, "and boom."
A 1992 blue Chevrolet 1500 pickup driven by Tammy Ann Lara, 35, struck De Leon's bike, catapulting him from the truck's hood, according to the police report.
Lara had glanced over her shoulder at a car that darted out and made a left turn in front of her truck. When she looked back she saw the bicycles and swerved, but the passenger side of her pickup hit De Leon's bike, the police report said. The impact shot De Leon's bike forward, causing it to clip Anzaldua's bike, the report said.
De Leon landed face-down - his helmet shattered.
Barbecue and Medical fundraiser
"I kept screaming Jesse's name," she said, "and after the ambulance took him I could see all the blood."
Lara, who's self-employed, wasn't ticketed, said Capt. Robert MacDonald, with police traffic safety. "Her insurance and license were in order and we presented the report to the district attorney's office the next day and he didn't see any intent."
Lara said she cried for three days. "I was sick about changing his life in the blink of an eye, and there was nothing I could do to stop it," she said. "I've been praying for him."
De Leon, who was raised Catholic and has been a member of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church since 1994, said the prayers of hundreds of friends, family and listeners have lifted his spirit and given him strength.
"That power is real," he said. "This kind of experience makes you look at everything on a more spiritual level. It's not a voodoo magic thing - it's just God working his plan."
Prayers weren't the only thing that lifted De Leon's spirit. One radio listener, Dr. Alan Barker, who De Leon met at a Chicago concert last December at the American Bank Center, visited him in the hospital with what De Leon called the best medicine.
"He brought me an iPod and downloaded 641 songs from his laptop," De Leon said. "It's almost like he gave me oxygen."
Barker, 49, said he understood how music could help. "Music kept me sane when I was underwater for weeks in the military while stationed on a submarine," the Bay City doctor said. "I realized how long Jesse would be stuck in the hospital and that music was a big part of his life."
Tense weeks
De Leon's parents were doing yard work that Sunday when Anzaldua left a message for them about noon. After hearing it, Clementina De Leon, the DJ's mother, made arrangements for someone to stay with her 36-year-old daughter, Mary, who has Down syndrome, and her 102-year-old mother, whom she also cares for in their home. She and her husband rushed from Harlingen to Christus Spohn Hospital Memorial.
"At first we were told he could die," said Clementina De Leon, shaking her head and choking back tears as her son grasped her hand. "I refused to believe that We prayed a lot. We just believed he would be fine."
She initially saw her son about 8 p.m. in the emergency trauma room, after he had been stabilized with life-saving procedures and immediate care of his facial wounds. After seeing X-rays that showed several breaks to the pelvis, doctors decided he needed to be taken to University Hospital for reconstructive surgeries. His head was covered in bandages and he was unconscious.
Jesus De Leon Jr., 70, his father, signed paperwork for their son's helicopter transfer to San Antonio.
"My whole life I wanted to ride a helicopter," Jesse De Leon said, "the one time I did, I don't remember."
The couple and Anzaldua, who suffered only road rash on the left side of her arm, bruising and scratches on her left thigh and knee, arrived in San Antonio after midnight.
De Leon's bandages had been removed, and the wounds were significant. The accident stripped the skin from the right side of his face, something surgery corrected but not without deep scarring.
"I didn't expect to see my son's face like that," the elder De Leon said, placing his forefinger beneath his neatly groomed mustache to steady a quivering lip.
Following hours of surgery the next day on De Leon's face and pelvis, doctors closely monitored blood and swelling on his brain while he lay unconscious the next two weeks, hooked to a ventilator. They prepared his loved ones for the possibility that De Leon could have permanent brain damage and that he might wake up with a different personality.
"But when he woke up he thought he was doing a live radio transmission from a tire store," said Clementina De Leon. "He was saying 'Come get your tires for only 93.9 dollars,' " she said. "I knew then my son was OK."
Just some "misplaced brain cells," De Leon said with a crooked smile, glancing at his parents. "I do have my brain back."
Long interest in radio
De Leon was born in Harlingen and first showed an interest in radio when he was 10, his father said. "He nagged me to take him to a radio station, so I did," said the retired special education director for the Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District.
"Jesse saw the announcer in action in the little cubby," he said. "Later that evening in his bedroom he created his own radio announcer area with his record player on a box, and had his sister there as his audience while he held something like a microphone and talked. I thought, 'Well, he just picked it up like that,' " he said, snapping his fingers.
When De Leon graduated from Harlingen High School in 1984, he already worked in the accounting and advertising departments at KGBT, Channel 4, in Harlingen. By 1988 he earned a bachelor's degree in advertising at the University of Texas while working in an Austin record store where he said he met radio personalities.
"They all told me, 'Be willing to do anything and work for nothing,' " De Leon said. "They were right."
He came home for Thanksgiving that year and landed a job as an overnight intern at KRIX, 99.5, a rock and roll station now playing Tejano music. He worked there until 1992, when he moved to Corpus Christi and started at 93.9 KMXR, which played soft rock hits.
"It flipped to oldies in 2001 and that's been the biggest success for the station and me ever since," De Leon said.
Seven years ago, De Leon teamed with co-host Albesa "Bessie" Benavides, 48. Benavides has handled the Jesse and Bessie In The Morning show in De Leon's absence with guest visitors from the community, but says it hasn't been easy. De Leon spoiled her every morning, she said.
"I wasn't just a giggle girl, but he ran the soundboard, produced the program and did all the editing. All I had to do was talk when he pointed at me," Benavides said. "I was terrified to try doing all of it without him."
She learned about the accident from her general manager late the Sunday it happened and went on air alone Monday morning.
"For privacy of Jesse's family we didn't say anything on air," she said, "but we did tell callers, 'Yes it's true he's been in an accident.' " She initially visited De Leon in the hospital after his family prepared her to handle his critical condition, Benavides said. She has continued to visit as his condition improved.
De Leon had a brief return to the air Nov. 9, when Benavides called him at his parents' home on his birthday. It was the first time he was able to forget the accident, he said, and his short on-air stint spurred two hours of listener response.
"The phone wouldn't stop ringing with well-wishers," Benavides said. "Everyone loves Jesse very much. He's the rain man of music, a walking encyclopedia for all music lovers." De Leon is known for instantly identifying an artist or song from a listener's hummed melody or short recited lyric phrase, she said.
Meaningful Thanksgiving
De Leon hopes to resume some on-air work part-time over the computer from his parent's home in mid-December. He would like to leave the thick, plastic brace, which immobilizes his torso while his pelvis heals, at physical therapy. His discomfort is evident by constant shifting of the breastplate with his fingertips.
"I've had enough of the ninja turtle jokes," he said, fidgeting in the wheelchair.
De Leon had been doing physical therapy exercises three times a week - climbing stairs, using exercise bands and doing leg lifts - but continued left leg pain from nerve damage caused doctors to limit lower body exercises. So he is focusing on upper body exercises.
He still struggles to lift himself from the wheelchair, and he needs his father's assistance to get in and out of the bathtub.
He's made progress with upper body therapy, he said, and doctors have let him use a walker and do "toe-touches" with his left leg that still has nerve problems.
"I can hobble well," he said. "And I feel those nerves trying to do their thing, but sometimes it feels like they're sticking out of my legs."
De Leon's mother doles doses of pain medication every few hours to help, and four times a day she swabs and anoints his left eye with drops. Repairing the eye is the other medical need before returning to work. The lower lid sags from the surgical scar and not closing fully causes his eye to dry out.
Doctors are waiting for the scar tissue to soften before plastic surgery, which likely will be in the spring. Doctors lifted the restriction on use of his right leg Wednesday after X-rays revealed his pelvic fractures were healing well. He's now able to walk around the house with a walker and begins lower body physical therapy this week.
De Leon's medical expenses already exceed Lara's insurance and his own job's medical benefits, he said. He hasn't had a paycheck since the accident and his family has been helping him keep his Corpus Christi apartment. Members of his church have planned a benefit barbecue to help.
"The future is to walk," De Leon said. "With the different view I now have of life, I want to work for balance and simplicity - getting rid of stuff that doesn't matter and balancing my health habits."
On Thanksgiving, the De Leon family shared their traditional meal with a better understanding of what they were thankful for, Clementina De Leon said. While wrangling her mother and two children's wheelchairs around their formal dining table was challenging, it was special they could all be there, she said.
"We always wanted Jesse to come spend some more time with us," she said, "but not this way. We'll be glad to see him leave because we'll know he can go back to what he loves."

Ical to Google Calendar true Sync
So really what is the issue here. I can update my ical on the "Google Calendar" but i want my entire ical to sync with google calendar. Any suggestions? Is google not allowing this? Is Apple not allowing this? We are at a point that most of use use multiple devices and they need to talk (sync) with each other.
I sync Google Calendar with iCal. Here are Google's instructions on how to set up GCal with iCal. Note that those steps simply add GCal to iCal.
Before you do that, just to be safe, backup iCal first. To do so, go to File > "Back up iCal...". This shouldn't mess up your calendar but if you're like me, you don't want to take any chances.
Thanks for the info ... I want to sync everything with google calendar.
There is always Spanning Sync. I tried it a while back and it worked like a charm for me.

Comments Thread For: Jorge Barrios: I Should Be Facing Erik Morales on 9/17
During a radio interview with BoxingScene.com's Carlos Irusta, former WBO super featherweight champion Jorge "La Hyena "Barrios confirmed an earlier story on BoxingScene, that he postponed a planned return on July 29 because a deal is nearly complete to fight former triple world champion Erik "El Terrible" Morales of Mexico on September 17 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The fight would take place on the undercard of the mega star clash between the welterweight champion of the World Boxing Council, Victor Ortiz, and superstar Floyd Mayweather Jr., with HBO televising.

Recent article by Jeffrey Hayden: "Revisiting the Three Strikes Law"
Three strikes laws are a category of statutes enacted by state governments in the United States, beginning in the 1990s, to mandate long periods of imprisonment for persons convicted of a felony on three (or more) separate occasions. The term is borrowed from baseball and is generally colloquial in its usage, as such statutes are most often known officially as mandatory sentencing laws or some variant thereof.
The underlying philosophy of these laws is that any person who commits more than two felonies can justifiably be considered incorrigible and chronically criminal, and that permanent imprisonment is then mandated for the safety of society.
While the practice of imposing longer prison sentences on repeat offenders than on first-time offenders who commit the same crime is nothing new in American states (New York State, for example, has a Persistent Felony Offender law that dates back to the late 19th Century), such sentences were not compulsory in every single case, and judges had much discretion in what term of incarceration to impose.
California actually enacted two distinct three strikes laws. The legislature enacted a three strikes law in the March of 1994. Eight months later, the voters approved Proposition 184, which enacted almost the same law which the legislature had rushed into being. The two schemes are almost identical, except that each has a list of felonies which are designated as serious or violent, and there are some differences between the two lists.
Most citizens are in favor of the idea of long prison sentences for repeated violent offenders; however, the reach of the three strikes law often exceeds what those same citizens expect when they voice their support of these laws. For example, while some states require all three felony convictions to be for violent crimes in order for the mandatory sentence to be pronounced, California - mandate the enhanced sentence for any third felony conviction so long as the first two felonies were deemed to be either "violent" or "serious," or both.
This leads to criticism that the law leads to unjust results, either because the current offense doesn't warrant such sanctions, or because the harsh punishment isn't warranted because the so-called strike priors involve only a minimal threat to society.
Some unusual scenarios have arisen as such offenses as felony petty theft) where the person committing such a crime has a prior conviction for any form of stealing, including robbery or burglary, no matter how long ago the original crime had been committed) has led to some defendants being sentenced to 25 years to life in prison for stealing such items as compact discs or even slices of pizza, prompting harsh criticism not only within the United States, but also from outside the country as well.
Moreover, some crimes which historically might only marginally qualify as a felony are now considered to be violent or serious, such as suggesting a witness not report a crime (Penal Code section 136.1) or threatening to commit a crime which could result in a serious injury, even though there is neither an attempt or any intent to carry out the act (Penal Code section 422) are now sufficient to result in a strike. Another criticism notes that often a burglary, a crime which could result in the theft of something having little or no value, is perceived as being unjustly included as one of the three "strikes."
On March 5, 2003, the U.S. Supreme Court held by a 5-4 majority that such sentences do not violate the Eighth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which prohibits "cruel and unusual punishment." In two separate opinions handed down on the same day, the court upheld California's three-strikes law against an attack on direct appeal from conviction, Ewing v. California, 538 U.S. 11 (2003), and a collateral attack through a petition for habeas corpus, Lockyer v. Andrade, 538 U.S. 63 (2003).
Several challenges to this aspect of the California law were pending, in both state and federal courts, as of the spring of 2004, but on November 2, 2004, the state's voters rejected an amendment to the statute (offered in Proposition 66) which would have required the third felony to be either "violent" and/or "serious" in order to result in a 25-years-to-life sentence.
Some critics have argued that three-strikes laws violate the Double Jeopardy Clause of the U.S. Constitution, though few judges take this argument seriously. In the vast majority of U.S. courts, it is generally accepted that double jeopardy is not a problem because the defendant is not being retried or punished again for the set of facts giving rise to the previous convictions; the fact of the previous convictions is merely being used as evidence of the defendant's incorrigible character in order to enhance the sentence for the third conviction.Efforts to reform the Three Strikes Laws continue throughout the state.
Relief From the Effect of Strike Priors
The courts have rejected challenges to the constitutionality of the Three Strikes law. One constitutional attack was successful, however. In People v. Superior Court (Romero) (1996) 13 Cal.4th 497, 529-530, the Supreme Court found some merit in the argument that the constitutional requirement of separation of executive, legislative, and judicial powers might be violated unless the statute were interpreted to allow judges to dismiss and disregard prior convictions "in furtherance of justice" on their own initiative. The Court gave the statute that interpretation and so avoided the constitutional problem. The ruling that trial courts may strike prior convictions in furtherance of justice is not a broad grant of discretion to judges to avoid the Three Strikes law, however. The Supreme Court has held that a current or prior conviction may only be dismissed if "in light of the nature and circumstances of [the defendant's] present felonies and prior serious and/or violent felony convictions, and the particulars of his background, character, and prospects, the defendant may be deemed outside the scheme's spirit, in whole or in part, and hence should be treated as though he had presently not committed one or more felonies and/or had not previously been convicted of one or more serious and/or violent felonies." (People v. Williams (1998) 17 Cal.4th 148, 161.)
In particular, a court may not strike a sentencing allegation "solely 'to accommodate judicial convenience or because of court congestion' " (Romero, supra, 13 Cal.4th at p. 531, quoting People v. Kessel (1976) 61 Cal.App.3d 322,326), or "simply because a defendant pleads guilty" (Romero, supra, 13 Cal.4th at p. 531), or because of "a personal antipathy for the effect that the three strikes law would have on [a] defendant,' while ignoring 'defendant's background,' 'the nature of his present offenses,' and other 'individualized considerations.' " (Ibid., quoting People v. Dent (1995) 38 Cal.App.4th 1726, 1731.)
A court also may not strike a strike in order to make the defendant eligible for commitment to the California Rehabilitation Center. The Three Strikes law provides that those who come under its provisions are ineligible for CRC commitment. The Sixth District ruled in People v. Carrillo, 87 Cal.App.4th 1416, decided March 27, 2001, that although a court may dismiss a strike and take the defendant out of the ambit of the Three Strikes law, it could not dismiss a strike on the condition that the defendant complete a commitment to the CRC, or later reinstate the conditionally-dismissed strike.
Although in other situations courts are reluctant to overturn a trial judge's exercise of discretion (see People v. Bishop (1997) 56 Cal.App.4th 1245), they show little restraint when the judge has exercised his discretion in a three-strikes defendant's favor. If the appellate court believes that the defendant falls within the spirit of the three strikes law, it will reverse a judge's decision to dismiss a strike, sometimes with an admonition like this one: "A court may not simply substitute its own opinion of what would be a better policy, or a more appropriately calibrated system of punishment in place of that articulated by the People from whom the court's authority flows." (People v. McGlothin, (1998) 67 Cal.App.4th 468, 476-477, quoted in People v. Thornton (1999) 73 Cal.App.4th 42, 49. See also People v. Gaston (1999) 74 Cal.App.4th 310, 314-315.)
Nonetheless, the judicial power to dismiss strikes does offer hope to defendants whose priors are neither many nor particularly horrible. And some recent appellate decisions regarding dismissing strikes are helpful. In one case, the Court of Appeal (First District, Division Three) held that a trial court abused its discretion by failing to strike a strike! People v. Cluff (2001) 87 Cal.App.4th 991, concerned a third-striker whose current offense was a failure to register as a sex offender. The defendant had registered whenever he changed his address, but had failed to confirm his address annually as required by the sex offender registration law. The requirement of annual re-registration had been enacted five years after the defendant was released from prison. The Court of Appeal not only ruled that the trial court had abused its discretion by failing to strike a strike, but also stated that the sentence of twenty-five years-to-life "appears disproportionate by any measure." (Id. at p. 1004.)
The Supreme Court has held that a trial court applying the "Three Strikes" law may exercise its discretion to dismiss a prior conviction allegation with respect to one current count and refrain from dismissing the prior with respect to another current count. (People v. Garcia (1999) 20 Cal.4th 490, 493-494.) This is important, because even when it's clear the judge cannot be persuaded to dismiss a prior strike altogether, it may yet be possible to limit the damage. In Garcia, it was helpful that the defendant had no history of violence, and his prior serious felony convictions arose from a single period of aberrant behavior. (Id. at pp. 494-495.)

"Seeing it once is better than hearing about it a thousand times" — I think this is the closest translation from one Russian proverb. I may add that hearing and seeing might be often better then reading so let me try to start a series of small videocasts about Oracle database technology.
One of the topics that beginners RAC DBA's (along with network engineers supporting Oracle database infrastructure) are confused about is the Virtual IP usage in Oracle RAC starting from Oracle Clusterware 10g.
With this videocast, I will try to clarify those concerns once and for all. I have embedded the video here in a smaller window so you might want to go directly to YouTube for the full-size version of "Pythian Video: Oracle RAC – Why VIPs".
This is an experiment for now so let's see how it goes. Let me know if you find this format useful and don't forger to rate it on YouTube. Note that if you don't leave any comments here, I'd never know whether you liked it or not so don't be shy and comment away…

Hi Alex,
Nice presentation.
One little remark which may confuse people – on the last page you are talking about using VIP and not hostnames. In my opinion you should use "VIP hostname" instead of just VIP. It will be additional information for users that VIP has to be added to any name resolving system (DNS or local hosts files).
As you know in case of server load balancing you can be redirected to other node and your connection description will have a "VIP hostname" instead of VIP IP.
Awesome Alex :)
Very nice, Alex!!!
Keep going, it's very helpful.
I spend some time fixing issues related to not resolving VIPs name and there is why I always thing about that. I don't remember a exact version of RAC but it was a bug and listener send both – vip and not-vip names to client in case of LB.
Hi Alex,
Here is a Metalink note about that
I have got this in 10.2.0.3 and it
is working without suggested workaround in 10.2.0.4.
I have tested that issue on two RAC's
10.2.0.3 on Windows and 10.2.0.4 on Linux.
On Windows I had to set a LOCAL_LISTENER to avoid return a pure hostname in case of LB. In 10.2.0.4 on Linux it is working with LOCAL_LISTENER set to empty string.
Maybe it is platform depended – Windows is a little bit strange machine in case of resolving back IP into name and vice versa.
Nice presentation, thanks Alex.
I didn't realize that when a vip failed over it wasn't actually recognized by the listener. Interesting…
Looking forward to the next video.
[…] The first videocast was quite popular — it has more than 300 views in couple weeks and considering no Hollywood stars were starring in that video and there were no nude scenes, I think it's fair to say that this format was very much welcomed by the audience. […]
Very effective presentation. I've been working with RAC for several years and did not quite understand VIP. Now I feel much more confident.
Hi Alex
Excellent presentation is it possible to do the video of the presentation under the hood of oracle clusterware here ?
Hi Alex
excellent i appreciate the response and also the pain to take the time out and redo the video for the presentation under the hood of oracle clusterware
Hi Alex,
Excellent presentation. Concept is very well explained.
This was a very good way to explain a complex subject. Short and sweet. That's about all I can fit into a busy schedule. Keep them coming!
Very interesting, I really appreciated the "live demo", something that cannot be got from the documentation, obviously. Thanks!
Great job , please post more RAC videos
Hi Alex,
Thanks for this presentation. It's perhaps the most succinct explanation I found in VIP.
I just want to ask if it is possible for a node to have more than 1 VIP. In our RAC, we added a third NIC and we wanted to add a second VIP to listen in another subnet. I tried using 'srvctl add nodeapps' to bind the new NIC but instead of getting a new VIP, it replaced the current VIP setting instead.
Is it possible to add a second VIP?
Brilliant I appreciate the live demo, something that cannot be got from the documentation!
Encourage us!!
Thanks; I found it helpful but the pace of presentation was on the speedier side :)
that was either intentional or I am just slow
Put in much simpler way yet precise ..
superb presentation.
Presentation is very good. I have one doubt. Please clarify me.
I have found in some tutorial and they mentioned as RE-ARPS Protocol. what is the meaning of RE-ARPS. RE-ARPS Stands for Reverse Address Resolution Protocol or Address Resolution Protocol.

Gear Question
Specifically, what are the differences...
Specifically, what are the differences between this and the previous body paint bibs?
I would like to see a pic of the front portion of the Chamois to see if they fixed that seam problem...not sure why they didn't use a flat seam here. There is a V shape seam in the "junk area" that pressed into me on the initial body paint bib.
Has the edge of the Chamois been refined or is it still abrupt? See photo, this caused some irritation for me on the initial Body Paint version.
Wow! Six days and no response from Castelli. I guess they don't want to sell them that bad.
I am curious if this was a large enough problem for Castelli to address. I have not heard of many people having this issue. I personally have not had any issues but I would not complain if they do make it a flat seam.
Carlos Rodriguez
That link I believe will answer your question. It looks as though the chamois-seam is the same on the 2.0 as in the previous.
I have had chafing in my 2.0s from that seam as well, although not on every ride. Would be great to fix on the next version.

Blood doping is done through transfusions or through EPO injections.
Athletes who do it try to increase their number of red blood cells, and ultimately their oxygen-carrying capacity so they can last longer and go faster.
Blood doping can be hard to detect because there aren't the physical symptoms that you see with other performance-enhancing drugs like steroids (common side effects are acne and aggressive behavior).
Since 2009 high-profile races the The Tour De France have tested the blood levels in athletes.

Release: 02/05/2014
When: Friday-Saturday, Feb. 7-8, 2014
Where: Albuquerque Convention Center in Albuquerque, N.M.
Live Results: LiveRunningResults.com, RecordTiming.com
The Lobos have proven themselves throughout the season, showing well against some of the nation's best.
And this weekend will be no different.
The University of New Mexico's track and field team is aiming to continue its upward progress versus another strong field of competition as it hosts the New Mexico Collegiate Classic Friday and Saturday.
The Lobos will welcome five nationally ranked squads to the Albuquerque Convention Center — including the No. 1 Arkansas men and the No. 2 Texas women — for the fourth of five straight home meets.
New Mexico is coming off of a strong team performance last weekend at the New Mexico Team Invitational, where the women placed third and the men took fifth against a strong field.
In their only scored meet of the regular season, both Lobo teams defeated UCLA, Arizona State and Air Force, and narrowly missed besting Notre Dame on both sides.
However, the last meet saw all of the Lobos compete, which won't be the story this week.
As UNM's vaunted distance runners and jumpers take a week off to recover, the rest of the Lobos will get another shot to gain both experience and a foothold on potential postseason position in Albuquerque.
And the competition will be nearly just as strong.
Arkansas' top-ranked men will be joined by their sixth-ranked women as the Razorbacks bring some of their nationally competitive jumpers. Texas' No. 2 women and No. 18 men will join the No. 19 Washington women as the other ranked opponents.
New Mexico will counter with some of its talented vaulters, including Logan Pflibsen on the men's side and and Margo Tucker on the women's.
Logan Pflibsen, who's ranked 64th in the pole vault, is one of the top Lobo men competing this weekend. The other names to watch for the men are Markus Miller in the high jump and 2013 All-MW athlete Kendall Spencer in the 60-meter dash.
For the women, 61st-ranked Tucker leads the Lobo pole vaulters, including Annie Stirling, Nathalie Busk, Emily Heisler, back into action. The UNM sprinters, including Kayla Fisher-Taylor, Brittany Myricks and Peri Moran, will also compete.
It's a fairly quiet weekend for New Mexico as they gear up to host the Don Kirby Elite Invitational — another world-class meet — Feb. 14-15 at the Albuquerque Convention Center.
Currently, the Lobo men check in with a No. 2 ranking in the Men's Mountain Region Index that was released by the USTFCCCA on Tuesday. The Lobo women are ranked 3rd in the women's version of the same rankings.
Nationally, the UNM men are ranked 39th, the highest among all of the other men's programs in the Mountain West.
The meet starts Friday at 4 p.m. MT, and is followed up Saturday at 10 a.m. Check liverunningresults.com and recordtiming.com throughout the meet for live results and GoLobos.com after the meet Saturday for a full recap.

This was great! My boyfriend loved it. I used panko breadcrumbs, then added Italian type herbs to them. (Basil, parsley, oregano, etc.) This is a definite keeper!
I followed this recipe exactly and used regular (unseasoned) breadcrumbs. The chicken lacked flavor. Next time I will use seasoned breadcrumbs or add more seasonings to the regular breadcrumbs.

I love this recipe! It was so, so, so easy! The results were a delicious meal that you would think someone spent hours on. The only change we made was putting Italian Seasoning in the bread crumbs instead of just dried basil. We will DEFINITELY make this again.
Very easy and very tasty! I added a pinch of oregano to the bread crumb mix in mine. Everyone was getting seconds and thirds. Definitely a hit!
This recipe is great!! I followed the instructions exactly, and it was perfect. Only one thing I almost messed up, so I would suggest that you be sure to keep an eye on the chicken while it is frying in the pan because I fried for 5-6 minutes without really checking it and almost burned one before I realized it. I will definitely make this one again! It was delicious!!
This was soooo yummy. I just undercooked the pasta slightly, topped with sauce then baked as directed. Oh, and I used a blend of shredded italian cheeses. Everyone loved it, and for my nieces and nephews, that's saying a lot!!
Very good, very easy! The only change I made was using Italian bread crumbs. Excellent!

If you have never had French food or maybe you have but you just haven't had the right food come here and you will not regret it. Everything on the menu is delicious!!!!! You cant go wrong with anything you get and it's affordable!!!! Go go and try it out :) everyone I've brought here comes back for more =)

This place serves an assortment of authentic savory and sweet French crepes, pastas, cous cous (only on weekends) and other Southern French items. A real treat and the prices are very nice! Especially considering the quality of the food and that they use organic ingredients. They have a good lunch special during the week. The French waitress who served us was incredibly warm and friendly, something you rarely see in Williamsburg anymore. The decor was also very cute, with paintings and plates hanging in the well-lit room. They also have an excellent brunch--a nice, family-run alternative to the uber-chic and expensive restaurant scene on Bedford. A can't miss for Williamsburg residents!

Had a great meal here this weekend. Fantastic service, very welcoming and attentive, along with surprisingly good crepes. I'm honestly not that big a crepe fan in general, but they were excellent, as was the socca, an apparently Nicoise speciality. The ambiance is super charming, a bit rustic - and the experience is definitely enhanced by the (French) family running the restaurant. Excellent prices as well.
Posted by TJ on 12/28/2008
This newcomer to the Northside offers a taste of France that is not to be missed. We went in a few weeks ago for brunch and were so glad that we did. The menu is so diverse that it will take several visits to try it all but I did have a special crepe on offer which was bacon, potato and gruyere that was as savory and delicious as it was simple. The hosts are delightful and the atmosphere is clean and airy. Since it is well off the beaten path of Bedford Avenue, the chances of being seated and served promptly are high, and you will be glad because your mouth will water just looking at the menu. Looking forward to trying them again this week on my vacation at home!

Photo-blogging Chile with Maria Barragan-Santana. Watch for more of Maria's photos as the summer (or winter, as it may be) goes on! Updates Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Though we could have taken a nice walk to the top of Cerro San Cristobal, we took a funicular — which dated back to 1925 — to the peak of the cerro (Spanish for hill), which towers 300m (2,820 ft) over the city of Santiago.
Click the above photo to explore Maria's incredible panorama of Santiago!
At the peak, there is a beautiful 14-meter statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary atop an 8-meter pedestal overlooking the entire city. Inside the pedestal one can visit a small chapel, Santuario Inmaculada Concepción, from which Pope John Paul II blessed the city of Santiago in 1987.
I found a place at the foot of the stairs to the chapel that was filled with prayers and candles. Looking through the messages, I found a prayer that I learned when I was little, which begins: "Angel de mi guarda, mi dulce compania, no me desampares ni de noche ni de dia…"
At that moment, as I stood atop of the cerro feeling the warmth of the sun, surrounded by an atmosphere filled with prayers and blessings, before a spectacular view of the city, I was overcome with a complete sense of peace.

Southwest Ecological Restoration Institutes (SWERI) Biophysical Monitoring Workshop Report
Seidenberg, Joseph; Springer, Judy; Nicolet, Tessa; Battaglia, Mike; Vothja, Christina. 2009. Southwest Ecological Restoration Institutes (SWERI) Biophysical Monitoring Workshop Report. Flagstaff, AZ: Northern Arizona University, Ecological Restoration Institute. 33 p.
On October 15-16, 2009, the Southwest Ecological Restoration Institutes (SWERI) hosted a workshop in which the participants would 1) build a common understanding of the types of monitoring that are occurring in forested ecosystems of the Southwest; 2) analyze and agree on an efficient, yet robust set of biophysical variables that can be used by land mangers and scientists to monitor the effectiveness of restoration/land treatments; and 3) discuss and develop strategies to overcome common challenges to effective forest monitoring and its integration into land management decision making. An invited group of individuals representing federal and state agencies, environmental non-profits, academic institutions, and consulting firms brought their knowledge and expertise to bear on the three goals of the workshop. Working in specialty groups (Botany, Fire and Fuels, Trees and Forest Structure, Wildlife) as well as in the aggregate, workshop participants used the two days to identify the key monitoring measures for restored southwestern forests and to make recommendations about the future steps needed to ensure that effectiveness monitoring (i.e., determining whether the project goals were attained) is an integral part of the total restoration process.

Hopefully, you have a long service lane line at your dealership each morning. Pre-service check-in sheets - sometimes also called pre-service repair orders, or pre-service check-in sheets- will help you move customers through the service lane faster.
However, there are many other advantages to using pre-service repair orders. Pre-service check-in sheets give the customer a chance to review your dealership's special offers, disclaimers and minimum diagnostic fees. You also increase your chance to up-sale by including a service menu on the pre-service repair order. This gives your customer an opportunity to consider additional services they may have forgotten to ask about. The pre-service write-up includes the customer's signature, records any pre-existing damage and captures all pertinent information. Pre-service repair orders are proven to increase a dealers CSI (Customer Service Index) and allows your customer to write-up their service concerns, in their own words, while they wait.
Order Estampe Auto Dealer Supplies' custom pre-service write-up sheets and ask about our free design service.

Hampton, Va. – Hampton police are looking for a man who they say is responsible for five gas station robberies throughout the city since October 2nd.
Two of the hold ups were about five hours apart, Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning at the same 7-Eleven off Kecoughtan Road.
"It's a real shame, you know it's a nice neighborhood with a lot of families and I come here every single day, so it makes you think twice about coming at night," says Marisha Vollett, a regular customer.
Less than three hours later, around 5:30 Wednesday morning, the man was caught on surveillance again, robbing another 7-Eleven off Aberdeen road.
Ron Patel is a manager at the store.
"Maybe he was watching from outside. She was alone at that time," he says.
Patel says his employee was counting cash at the time. Unlike the video provided by police, Patel says when the thief walked in his store, he wasn't wearing shoes.
"He didn't look like a professional guy," Patel says. "He looked like a bum. No shoes, nothing. You know, just the socks. He walked in and asked for money."
He never showed a gun, but threatened to shoot, according to Patel.
"The lady got scared," Patel says. "She got away from the register. He walked behind the counter, he grabbed the cash box and walked out."
The suspect is described as a black male, approximately 5'6"-5'7", 170-190 pounds, late 20s to early 30s with a close cut hair cut. In several of the robberies the suspect was last seen wearing a dark colored zip-up jacket. If you have any information, contact Hampton Police at 762-6111 or the Crime Line at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP.

Amber Riley Wins Dancing With The Stars!! [Peep Her Final Performances]
After suffering an injury that almost took her out of the competition, Amber Riley pushed her way right to the top as the new winner of Dancing With The Stars Season 17!
Before the season began, the predictions of who would win were all over the place with people calling out Christina Milian and Corbin Bleu as guaranteed slam dunks, but it was the Glee star who beat the odds. Amber looked amazing all season as she became an instant fan-favorite with her partner Derek Hough, and during the season finale, the duo performed a high-energy Charleston to "I'm A Fool In Love," which received a perfect score from the judges. The duo also performed a freestyle routine in the Finals, which had Amber showing off her stepping skills. During her acceptance speech, Amber said that she was there to show women of all shapes and sizes you can do whatever you put your mind to:
"I want to let women of all sizes out there know — you can do whatever you put your mind to! It doesn't matter what size you are, what color you are. You can do whatever, whatever, whatever you put your mind to!"
Earlier this month Amber told PEOPLE that she couldn't believe she was lasting as long as she was on the show, but she was just glad she was able to be an inspiration to people.
"I am genuinely shocked I am doing as well as I am," she says. "But I'm the type of person that if I feel something is going to defeat me, I am going to want to do it [even more].[…]It is awesome that people are so touched by me just dancing on a television show. This is just something I did for fun, and it is helping a lot of people."
Congrats girl!
This morning, after a long sleepless night on a flight, Amber was spotted arriving in Times Square with Derek and the trophy for an appearance on Good Morning America. This is Derek's second time in a row winning the competition and his fifth time winning overall.
Peep Amber's performances below:

The increasingly ugly battle over a proposed Islamic center in downtown Manhattan is feeding anti-American extremism in the Muslim world, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal.
From the Monday article:
Islamic radicals are seizing on protests against a planned Islamic community center near Manhattan's Ground Zero and anti-Muslim rhetoric elsewhere as a propaganda opportunity and are stepping up anti-U.S. chatter and threats on their websites.
One jihadist site vowed to conduct suicide bombings in Florida to avenge a threatened Koran burning, while others predicted an increase in terrorist recruits as a result of such actions.
"By Allah, the wars are heated and you Americans are the ones who…enflamed it," says one such posting. "By Allah you will be the first to taste its flames."
White House homeland security adviser John Brennan told reporters Friday that he had seen no evidence that the debate over the proposed Islamic center in Lower Manhattan, other mosque protests or the planned Koran burning had affected U.S. counterterrorism efforts. …
… Many opponents of the planned Muslim community center say they have no bias against Muslims but that putting the building so close to Ground Zero shows an insensitivity toward the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Controversy over the community center, which will contain a mosque and other facilities, has helped fan anti-Muslim rhetoric in the U.S. far from Lower Manhattan in recent weeks.
Jarret Brachman, director of Cronus Global, a security consulting firm, and author of the book Global Jihadism, said al Qaeda and other groups have long used imagery from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to recruit new members. But the U.S. position has been that those wars are not against Islam and that the U.S. has Muslim allies in the fight.
Anti-Muslim rhetoric in the U.S is different, since jihadists can use Americans' words to make the case that the U.S. is indeed at war with Islam. The violent postings are not just on al Qaeda-linked websites but on prominent, mainstream Muslim chat forums, Mr. Brachman said.
"We are handing al Qaeda a propaganda coup, an absolute propaganda coup," with the Islamic-center controversy, said Evan Kohlmann, an independent terrorism consultant at Flashpoint Partners who monitors jihadist websites.
And it's not just the protests and blanket condemnation of Muslims. It's also the outrages spreading across the country, like the "Burn a Koran Day" planned by of all things, a Florida church (imagine the reaction to a proposed "national burn a Bible" day…) not to mention the continued spreading of the falsehood that President Barack Obama is a Muslim, meant as a perjorative, by right wing talk radio.
This comes as only a handful of Democrats have spoken out in favor of the mosque, and even fewer Republicans (plus former Republican, Florida Governor Charlie Crist.)
Meanwhile, Mark Williams, most famous for his attacks on Shirley Sherrod, and his "colored letter to Lincoln," is at the helm of both the anti-mosque cause, and something called the Conservative Party USA. On his site, he continues to spew hate-filled rhetoric about the president (who Williams insists is a Muslim) and to equate all Muslims with the Klan and Timothy McVeigh, and yet, he continues to be booked on CNN. Funny, that.
