Check out what happens on Y&R after Chloe gets home with the baby! Cane shows up and it's not pretty!
Posted by Shyss at Wednesday, February 25 2009 07:44 AM
Yikes! Looks like cane turned into a nut case to. I feel bad for what chloe did to him but it's not like he took care of the baby for so many years then he finds out he is not the daddy. Wow maybe he shouldn't marry everyone he see's. LOL
Posted by twocentsworth at Wednesday, February 25 2009 07:48 AM
Really shows a different (in denial sort of) side of Cane...he was duped and then he bonded with the baby...he needs some therapy to get past this one...and making threats to Chloe, ok...
Posted by cpmorpheous at Wednesday, February 25 2009 08:05 AM
Cane may have been duped, but he let himself be duped. What gives him the right to tell Chloe that he would cut her out of HER daughters life. He needs to get some serious mental help.
Posted by Katy Cat at Wednesday, February 25 2009 08:38 AM
Cane has grown a set & is not letting this trash walk all over him anymore. I don't blame him! Go Cane. Kick some booty!
Posted by pink67 at Wednesday, February 25 2009 08:39 AM
Cane is angry, I don't blame him and Chloe is now paying the price for her lying. As the saying goes "be careful what you wish for you just might get it". Cane should make her life H.
Posted by stelladallas at Wednesday, February 25 2009 08:48 AM
Good for Cane. I'm glad he's letting Chloe know how horrible of a mother she is. He really cares about that baby and I hope he wins custody of her. Billy doesn't even know what he wants to do about being the baby's father. I support you Cane. You'll be on hot daddy!!
Posted by sedcgirl at Wednesday, February 25 2009 09:14 AM
I think Cane has gone crazy. what is he gaining by signing the birth certificate. if chloe and billy says he can't see the baby, he can't. but i guess i know how he feels, he has been through alot. i said at first he didn't have to marry her, but being perfect, he did and it had bad results. how can he be that attached to the baby when he had her 2 days. i know he lived with chloe for months but it wasn't anything there. billy needs to step up and chloe should live in the abbott manison.
Posted by 2tgtbt at Wednesday, February 25 2009 10:09 AM
I can understand the way Cane feels. because he really invested his heart with the baby. and billy hasn't show not one iota of care for the baby. even when he suspected her to be his.
Posted by Dimples29 at Wednesday, February 25 2009 10:33 AM
I understand that Cane is angry and he has every right, but no one told him to marry Chloe. Everyone told him he could be a father without marrying Chloe. He allowed himself to be played by yet another female. He ought to be mad at himself for allowing it to happen again. I used to like Cane, but now he is working my last nerve. I am not for a Lilly and Cane reunion anymore b/c they both make me sick. Although they do deserve each other b/c they both are just weak characters.
Posted by my3sons40 at Wednesday, February 25 2009 11:29 AM
This is soapland so his reaction has to be extreme, but that is why you do not lie to a man and tell him he is the daddy. Cane has gone and caught feelings for the little one and now he is going to the extremes to keep her around. Nothing like the bond between a daddy and his little girl. Cane had plenty of time to anticipate "his" baby and to fall in love with "his" baby so why would he not want to claim "his" baby.

What causes sore eyes?
Many conditions can cause sore eyes, including physical irritation from excessive rubbing, prolonged contact lens wear, smoke or smog, exposure to chemicals, or even too much sun. Inadequate lubrication of the eye surface by tears (frequently called dry eye) is a very common cause of sore eyes.
Other causes of sore eyes include prolonged close work, an incorrect prescription for eyewear, or prolonged contact lens wear.
Inflammation caused by allergies or infections also frequently leads to sore eyes.
Everyday causes of sore eyes
Sore eyes may be caused by everyday activities including:
- Contact lens wear
- Excessive rubbing of the eyes
- Incorrect eyewear (glasses or contact lenses)
- Exposure to environmental irritants, such as smoke, smog or dust
- Prolonged work at a computer screen
Inflammatory causes of sore eyes
Sore eyes can also be caused by inflammation resulting from allergy or infection including:
- Blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelid margin)
- Chronic dry eye
- Common cold (viral respiratory infection)
- Conjunctivitis (inflammation of the eye surface)
- Hay fever or an allergic reaction to animal dander, dust, cosmetics, or pollen
Serious or life-threatening causes of sore eyes
In some cases, sore eyes may be a symptom of a serious or life-threatening condition that should be immediately evaluated in an emergency setting. These conditions include:
- Acute glaucoma
- Infectious keratitis (corneal ulcer)
- Optic neuritis
- Orbital cellulitis (invasive infection of the soft tissues around the eye)
- Uveitis and iritis (inflammation of the structures of the eye)
Questions for diagnosing the cause of sore eyes
To diagnose your condition, your doctor or licensed health care practitioner will ask you several questions related to your sore eyes including:
- When did you first experience sore eyes?
- Where do you feel the soreness? Is it one or both eyes?
- Do you wear contact lenses?
- Do you use prescription eyeglasses?
- Have you had recent eye surgery?
- Is your eyewear prescription up-to-date?
- Do you feel burning or throbbing in your eye?
- Do you have any other symptoms?
What are the potential complications of sore eyes?
Sore eyes without eye pain is a common complaint that will generally resolve on its own without complications. In some cases, sore eyes that are accompanied by eye pain and other symptoms may indicate a more serious condition that should be evaluated by your health care provider. Once the underlying cause is diagnosed, it is important for you to follow the treatment plan that you and your health care professional design specifically for you to reduce the risk of potential complications including:
- Corneal scarring
- Spread of infection
- Vision disturbances or loss
- Eye problems. FamilyDoctor.org. http://familydoctor.org/online/famdocen/home/tools/symptom/505.html.
- Eye pain. MedlinePlus, a service of the National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003032.htm.
What are sore eyes?
Sore eyes are an unpleasant sensation in or around one or both eyes. Your eyes may feel gritty, tender or tired. Sore eyes may be caused by excessive rubbing of the eyes. Airborne irritants, including smoke and smog, as well as other environmental factors, such as exposure to chemicals or even too much sun, can result in sore eyes.

Consumer, Competitor,or Collaborator?:Assessing China's Economic, Energy, and Resource Environment
RFF Policy BriefingOctober 19-20, 2006
Briefing Overview
Since its founding in 1991, the RFF Council has recognized corporations and associations that contribute at least $25,000 annually to RFF and individuals who contribute at least $5,000 annually to RFF. These organizations and individuals all share RFF's interest in improving the environmental and natural resource policy debate and their contributions provide much of the general support required to run the day-to-day operations of RFF.
RFF Council members receive several benefits including special recognition in our annual report, invitations to all events, including exclusive, closed-door meetings, and complimentary copies of all of our publications. Additionally, Council members are encouraged to meet informally with our researchers to discuss current or future work, general policy trends, and other topics of interest. These meetings not only allow Council members direct access to RFF's expertise, but are also valuable opportunities for our scholars to interact with the corporate community and learn about their perspectives on legislative and regulatory issues. This sharing of information ensures that RFF's work remains balanced and informed from all different stakeholder viewpoints.

Short Description:
Long Description: Dr. Malebranche's research work has primarily focused on the social context of HIV risk behavior and treatment among Black men who have sex with men (MSM). In 2000, he completed a small qualitative study exploring the medical experiences of Black MSM, and how these experiences impact individual behavior and HIV sexual risk behavior, testing practices and adherence with medical advice and treatment. In 2003, he obtained a cooperative agreement with the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for a 3 year study on the sexual behaviors and testing practices of Black MSM. In this study, Dr. Malebranche and his team are examining the relationship between the independent variables of gender role conflict, racial identification and sexual identification and the outcomes of unprotected anal sex (UAI) and HIV testing practices. Additionally, Dr. Malebranche also recently obtained a 2 year R21 grant from the National Institute of Childhood and Human Development to conduct 60 interviews with bisexually active Black men. The goal of the study is to explore the lives of bisexually active men, and describe the social context that influences levels of disclosure of same sex behavior and sexual risk behavior with both their male and female sexual partners.
Dr. Malebranche's clinical and research work has revealed that one of the primary factors influencing the behaviors that drive the HIV epidemic among Black men is poor mental health. Future projects and grants he plans to work on will involve mixed-methods qualitative and quantitative assessments of the state of mental health among Black men in this country. Specifically, exploring the unique social and cultural circumstances impacting the mental health of Black men of all ages, socioeconomic strata and sexual orientations, so we can better inform health interventions that will address this aspect of health that has an impact on many health behaviors, including sexual risk behavior.

The women of Allen Chapel Church of Christ in South Shore, Ky. are going red. Allen Chapel is working in conjunction with the American Heart Association's national Go Red for Women campaign.
The church will open its doors for the event Saturday, Feb. 23, 2013 at 10 a.m. and the festivities will run until 2 p.m.
Megan Boggs is the scheduled speaker for the event. Boggs holds a Bachelor's Degree from Morehead State University in Exercise Science and is currently working to be a doctor in the field of Physical Therapy.
"Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women, and we just want to get the word out there and let women know about the risk factors that they have out there," Boggs said.
According to the American Heart Association, in 2004, cardiovascular disease claimed the lives of nearly 500,000 American women.
Therefore, AHA created the Go Red For Women campaign to raise awareness of heart disease and to inform women of how it serves as the No. 1 killer of women.
Go Red For Women campaigns are launched in February each year around the United States by women's organizations to educate women about heart disease and how to avoid it.
Boggs will speak to the group about the importance of diet and exercise for the prevention of heart disease.
"We just want to get the word out there, and let women know about the risk factors that they have out there," Boggs said.
Boggs also said she wanted to encourage women to take control of the things that they can change in their lives, particularly their willingness to be active and exercise and live healthy lives.
According to the AHA, only 55 percent of women realize heart disease is their No. 1 killer and less than half know what are considered healthy levels for cardiovascular risk factors like blood pressure and cholesterol. The Go Red For Women movement works to make sure women know they are at risk so they can take action to protect their health.
The event is open to all women and each participant is asked to wear comfortable clothing and shoes.
Participants should also bring two small canned goods which will be used in an exercise, and then donated to Greenup County High School's food pantry at the participant's discretion.
Registration for Go Red For Women at Allen Chapel Church of Christ, which is located at 64 Allen Chapel Rd. in South Shore, Ky., is required. To RSVP call 606-932-6235.
Portia Williams may be reached at 740-353-3101, ext. 286 or email@example.com.

Starlet Krista Miller finally broke her silence to deny that she is out to destroy the marriage of Cesar Montano and Sunshine Cruz.
Related story: Third party issue rocks Cesar-Sunshine marriage
In an exclusive interview with "The Buzz" on Sunday, Feb. 24, Krista told host Boy Abunda, "I respect him (Cesar). He loves his family. Hindi po para bigyan niya ako ng motibo. Alam kong pamilyado siyang tao para magbigay din ako ng motibo sa kanya. Iginagalang ko po iyon."
Krista admitted that she finds Cesar attractive, but was quick to say that he isn't her type of guy.
What's her reaction to Sunshine's message to "have the decency to return the iPhone 5" which reportedly was given by Cesar?
"I have more than five suitors na pwedeng magbigay sa akin ng ganong regalo. Pero may pera ako, kaya kong bumili. Hindi ko hahayaan na pababain ang sarili ko nang dahil lang sa iPhone5," Krista said.
Krista denied sending photos and messages to Cesar. She also claims that she doesn't even have Cesar's mobile number.
"Hindi ko po ugaling mag-send ng pictures lalo na kung walang dahilan. Kung mayroon pong nakita sila na sinasabing picture ko, wala po akong kinalaman doon. Hindi po ako nagpapadala ng kahit anong pictures at any provocative messages kay direk Cesar (Krista's director and co-star in "Alfredo S. Lim: The Untold Story)."
Krista also belied rumors that she stayed with Cesar in Manila Hotel when he had a misunderstanding with Sunshine.
More: Did Sunshine kick Cesar out of their conjugal home?
"Nagshu-shoot po kami doon kasi malapit lang po yung mga location namin doon at nagkaroon din ng eksena na doon mismo sa hotel, kasama si Nonie Buencamino sa eksena. Hindi ko alam na doon mismo natutulog si Direk. Nung nabalita na doon nga natutulog, napanood ko iyon eh, na kasama raw ako sa hotel. Natawa na lang po ako," Krista said.
For publicity?
While she also got involved in the issue, Krista believes Cesar won't use his family just to publicize their movie.
"Hindi naman po makitid ang utak ni direk para idamay ang family niya para sa publicity ng film. Hindi naman siya siguro ganoon. Siguro itong lumalabas na issue na ito, hindi ko alam saan nanggaling ito, hindi ko alam kung anong pinaghugutan nito."
She admitted that the accusations against her hurt her and her family, but Krista chose not to get mad at anyone, since there's no truth to the issue. "Alam kong inaakusa nila sa akin, hindi pa ito matatapos. At hindi ito magtatapos dito. Showbiz ,magulo iyan, pero tanggap ko iyan. Pinasok ko ito kaya tanggapin ko lahat ng pagsubok. Basta kung anong pangarap ko, doon lang ako."
For Krista, Cesar is no more than her director and co-star in the Lim biopic. She insists that he treated her and the rest of the cast equally.
"Yung pagiging maasikaso niya, maalaga niya, binibigyan niya lahat ng pagkain. Everybody in 'Turning Cradle' knows that," she said.
Cesar, for his part, denied the rumored affair. He explained that he loves his family and won't do anything to destroy it.

5 Reasons Castle Fans Are Better Than All Other TV Fans
Clearly, Wetpaint Entertainment appreciates the awesomeness of Castle fans, but what is it that makes these crime procedural devotees so amazing? We've rounded up 5 reasons Castle fans are the best fandom in the land. Fans of other shows, take note!
5. They Have Their Own Language
We use terms like "Caskett" and "Stanathan" pretty regularly around here, but we didn't come up with them ourselves. All the adorkable 'shipper pet names and Castle-centric vocab like hairporn (including a few even we haven't figured out yet) all came straight from the creative Castle fanbase.
4. They're Like Family
Castle fans are hands down the most accepting, loving (and lovable) group of TV junkies out there. They treat each other like family (and sometimes better than some families, know what we mean?). No newbie hazing here!
3. They Know The Show Backwards and Forwards
We wouldn't doubt that many a Castle aficionado can recite episode quotes and storylines in their sleep. That's how good — and obsessed — they are. Impressive stuff, man.
2. They're Loyal to the Max
When the rest of the world turns their back on Castle, it only makes Castle fans stronger. Sure, they might feel a little salty that the crime dramedy gets the shrug off from every award from the Emmys to the the SAGs (OK, and countless others over the seasons), but do they let it get them down? Heck no! There's always next year, right? That positive attitude is the awesomesauce fans are made of.
1. They're Got Creativity Through the Roof
From animated GIFs to gorgeous fan art to fan fiction so good it could probably stand up against Richard Castle's stack of New York Times best sellers, Castle fans are one talented bunch — and they ain't afraid to show it.
Tumblr and YouTube are chock-full of fun Castle-fan made creations. Stuff like this. And videos like this. Not to mention C fans are ridiculously clever when coming up with Castle-related usernames and the like (case-in-point: Twitter handle @SafeWordApples, taken from the pilot when Castle told Beckett "apples" was his safe word. Genius!).
We don't see that kinda savviness coming from say, Real Housewives' fans, now do we? (Too harsh?)

South Asian Health Check-List

Did you know that South Asians are more susceptible to heart attack, stroke and diabetes? Compared to other ethnicities, South Asians are at a heightened risk to develop these chronic illnesses up to a decade earlier. Consider these facts:
- The World Health Organization (WHO) projects that most of the world's heart patients will be South Asians in the next few years.
- One-third of diabetics worldwide are Indian.
- 50 percent of heart attacks in South Asians occur before the age of 55.
- Nearly one half of Indians have Metabolic Syndrome, a precursor to diabetes and heart disease.
South Asians are people who can trace their background to India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Maldives or Nepal. They are at heightened risk because of a combination of genetic, cultural and lifestyle factors. These include:
- Many South Asians carry extra body weight around their stomach. This is known as abdominal obesity and has been associated with a higher risk of diabetes and heart disease. You can find out your South Asian adjusted body mass index and waist to hip circumference on the PAMF South Asian Health website.
- South Asian foods tend to be high in calories and starch, especially traditional party foods that once were eaten only on special occasions but now are sometimes consumed daily.
- Many South Asians lifestyles are sedentary. This is particularly true for those who work with computers.
- South Asians may face unique stressors, including stress from immigration, cultural differences, family and overworking.
If your heritage is South Asian, make sure to visit your doctor for regular blood tests and physical exams. Know your vital numbers for cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar and body size, and recognize that a healthy number for a South Asian person may be different than that for someone from another ethnicity. The target numbers you want to shoot for are:
- LDL less than 100 for most South Asians (discuss your LDL goal with your doctor)
- Triglycerides less than 150
- HDL greater than 40 (men), HDL greater than 50 (women)
- Total cholesterol-to-HDL ratio of less than 4.0 (total cholesterol divided by your HDL level). This is a much better indicator of risk than your total cholesterol level.
- Blood pressure should be systolic (top number) less than 130 and diastolic (bottom number) less than 80.
- A body mass index (BMI) that is no greater than 23.
- Waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) of less than 0.90 for men and less than 0.85 for women.
- A fasting blood sugar test result of less than 100 mg/dL.

NO, the ideal targets should be:
Total cholesterol less than 150 and LDL less than 80.
(please check a site http://www.heartattackproof.com).
No.2, to prevent diabetes, a diet rich is magnesium and chromium is advisable.
Broccoli, Romaine lettuce and raw onions are a good source of chromium for vegetarians.
Hi Karen,
Total cholesterol and LDL targets are controversial with many different recommendations from expert groups. In general, it is true that with LDL the lower the number the lower the risk. The guidelines we provide are general recommendations based on established studies and our experience with South Asians. We cannot recommend the more aggressive targets without evaluating patients first. We are aware of the positive effects of nutrition on diabetes and heart disease risk, but the direct evidence for micronutrients such as magnesium and chromium is not proven by large, well established studies. Bottom line is that a diet rich in a variety of different fruits and vegetables is beneficial in preventing diabetes, heart disease, cancer and a number of other chronic conditions.
Thank you for taking the time to read our blog and for your comment.

i did not appreciate this article. I feel this article could in itself be a stressor for any south Asian person. I feel that a person"s medical doctor can pass on information one as one as needed rather than singling out and generating fear toward one particular ethnic group such as the South Asians.
Hi Cheryl,
I appreciate your frank feedback. We are a large multispecialty group which serves a great number of South Asians. On a daily basis we see South Asians who come to us with advanced cardiovascular disease or multiple risk factors and much of this is due to a lack of awareness in our community and among the vast majority of doctors. Delivering culturally customized health care is not a part of standard medical training. Many of our heart attack patients were seeing other doctors and were told that they were "fine" when in fact they were high risk based on South Asian specific criteria. I also am not a fan of using fear to motivate patients or an entire community, but our community does have a tendency to be less motivated about health issues, and exercise and healthy eating are not usually a high priority. This is one of the reasons why India has become the diabetes and heart disease capital of the world. Hopefully the day will come when all doctors are trained in delivering culturally competent care and awareness has spread among our high risk ethnic groups. Until then, we are committed to providing this information to our patients and to our diverse communities.
Thank you,
Dr. Ron Sinha, PAMF Internal Medicine and co-director of PAMF South Asian Health program.
Thank you.
Thank you very much for this article. It is really important that we Indians are aware of our higher risk and not go by the general risk criteria. Do you plan to have any information seminars/ flyers related to this information available to patients?
Hi Shubhra,
We're glad you enjoyed the article – and yes, there are several printouts, recipes, tip sheets, videos and other information related to South Asian health on our website at http://www.pamf.org/southasian. Thank you for your comment and we hope you enjoy visiting our South Asian Health website.

Is there anything I can do to cut down on the number of colds my baby gets?
You can't prevent every cold, but there are things you can do to minimize your baby's exposure and boost his defenses. For starters, make sure family members and friends wash their hands before picking up your baby (this is particularly important around newborns, who are even more susceptible to illness than 1- or 2-month-old babies).
To the extent you can, keep your baby away from sick children or adults. They'll understand if you ask them to postpone a visit until they're not contagious.
Keep in mind that babies in daycare get more colds than those kept at home simply because they're exposed to more kids and, hence, more germs. Make sure your childcare provider is conscientious about washing her hands. And make sure you wash up, too – especially after changing diapers and before preparing food.
Keep your baby well hydrated. Again, for babies under 4 months this means making sure they continue their normal breast- or formula-feeding routine. After that age, you can give your baby a little water as well, and at 6 months you can introduce your baby to juice. If your baby is hydrated, he should be wetting at least five or six diapers a day.
Secondhand smoke can put your baby at higher risk for upper respiratory problems, so stay clear of cigarette smokers and keep your baby away from areas where someone has been smoking. Children who live with cigarette smokers have more colds and their colds last longer than those of children who aren't exposed to smoke.
Finally, breastfeed for as long as you can. (The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends breastfeeding for a year to reap the health benefits of breast milk.) Although it's not a fail-safe guard against infection, studies have shown that breastfed babies get sick less often than their formula-fed peers because the antibodies in breast milk protect against a host of germs.

History 383 - Dr. Gayle Olson-Raymer
The Consequences of Progress
For the past weeks, we have discussed the political and economic factors of the first five decades of California history that made it a modern state. In so doing, we focused first on the way the Gold Rush pushed California into modernity, and we followed that discussion with and understanding of the political growth of the new state, the role of the Transcontinental railroad in California's politics and the economy, and the "Americanization" of the California Indians with an emphasis on their fate in Northern California. Today, we are going to examine some of the consequences of this era of progress in California.
Discussion Goals - The Consequences of Progress
Goal #1: To examine the role logging played in California's early industrial development and how its development was similar to the gold mining industry
Reading Review questions for both The Big Trees and the Isenberg chapter.
- Statistics on logging in Humboldt County:
- In 1859, 10 mills employed 1,000 men and produced almost 10 million board feet of wood.
- in 1865, 10 mills produced nearly 13 million board feet of wood.
- In 1868, 10 mills produced 25 million board feet of wood.
- In 1874, Humboldt mills produced 40 million board feet of wood.
- By the 1870s, Humboldt and Mendocino were the two leading lumber producing counties in California. (Isenberg, p. 85)
- Timber and Stone Act of 1878 - opened more forests in the public sector for private sale by claiming that "land unfit for farming" could be sold to those who might want to "timber or stone," log and mine, the land.
- Under the act, timberland was sold in California, Oregon, Nevada, and Washington in maximum 160-acre tracts at a price of no less than $2.50 an acre. In practice, however, wealthy companies hired men to buy 160 acre plots and then deed them back to the company.
- Within a few years in California alone, some companies had control of over 20,000 acres or more of timberland.
- By 1923, the act had transferred 12 million acres of public timberland into private hands.
- By the 1910s, many American began to question whether private individuals could be expected to make choices that would benefit the public as a whole and consequently, some of that private land reverted back to public ownership.
Goal #2: To understand the patterns of economic development that evolved in California over the last part of the 19th Century
Abundant natural resources drove California's early economy - resources which many California's believed were inexhaustible: gold, timber, and water. From the very first days of the new U.S. territory, the exploitation of these natural resources were front and center in California's economy. Thus, rapid economic development of Califiornia's resources began in 1848 and in so doing, evolved with a specific pattern: the Gold Rush economy began with the work from individual labor, which quickly moved into what Isenberg describes as resource intensive industry, followed by the newest economic Gold Rush - agriculture.
As early as the 1860s, California's economic and political power was concentrated in the hands of those who controlled the resources - be it gold, timber, or agriculture - or the railroads that eventually helped transport such resources. And during the first decades of California's history, there was no regulation for the extraction or use of its natural resources. The consequences of rapid and unregulated extraction of natural resources led to extreme and rapid environmental alternations.
Goal #3: To link California's environmental alterations directly to these early patterns of economic development
Some scientists have argued that the economic "free-for-all" that occurred during this era was committed by ecological invaders who destroyed the environment in ways that continue to effect Californians. In particular, they cite the following:
As many Californians approached the 20th Century, concerns arose about the dramatic changes in their landscapes. Consequently, some Californians began to take individual steps to protect the environment, followed by federal and state efforts. These early efforts were largely those of conservation rather than preservation.
As we can see in the chronology below, during the last few decades of the 19th century, both conservation and preservation efforts began by individuals as well as the federal and state government. However, it would not be until the 20th century and the presidency of Theodore Roosevelt that either movement gained a great deal of support from both Americans and Californians.
1852 - The Mammoth Tree Grove was the first grove of ancient Sequoias to be "discovered" in the Sierra Nevadas by Euroamericans. The Mammoth Tree measured 302 feet in height and 96 feet in circumference at the time it was chopped down in 1853. In this painting done in 1854 by Isaac W. Baker, two men are measuring the enormous 25 ft in diameter stump on which a dance floor was later constructed large enough for 40 people. The sign on the butt end of her trunk warns: "All persons are forbid taking any wood from this tree."
1859 - Horace Greeley. The New York Tribune publisher and editor, visited Yosemite, after which he called on the state of California to protect the big trees, "the most beautiful trees on earth." The mountains "surpass any other mountains I saw in the wealth and grace of their trees."
1857 - The owner of a stand of Sequoias in the Sierra Nevada advertised his property as a tourist destination - a place where people could go to escape industrial sociey and enjoy the peaceful nature of the natural environment.
1864 - Abraham Lincoln signed the Yosemite Grant that protected Yosemite Valley and the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias. Yosemite was the first territory ever set aside by Congress for public use and preservation.
1886 - The California State Board of Forestry urged timber companies to avoid logging in the Sierra Nevada, decried "wasteful and destructive methods of cutting timer," and urged the creation of a "forest reservation" in the mountains where "the cutting of timber and fuel should be regulated in such a reasonable way as will reserve the reproductive capacity of the forests."
1889 - John Muir and Robert Underwood Johnson, editor of Century Magazine, launched a successful campaign to persuade Congress to set aside Yosemite as a national park. They ran into opposition from three groups: local entrepreneurs like the Yosemite Stage and Turnpike Company which brought tourists from the railroad station to the park; cattlemen, sheepherders and loggers who had been using the area for decades; and some California politicians.
1890 - On October 1, the U.S. Congress set aside more than 1,500 square miles of reserved forest lands, soon to be known as Yosemite National Park.
1891 - The Forest Reserve Act set aside public lands as forest reserves - the first act of its kind in the U.S. and which will eventually lead to a system of National Forests.
1892 - The Sierra Club was founded by writer and naturalist John Muir as an advocacy group that worked for the protection and preservation of wild lands.
- To read the text of The History of the Sierra Club, 1892-1970 by Michael P. Cohen, see http://www.sierraclub.org/history/origins/
Goal #4: To discuss how Californians reacted to the emergence of huge, monopolistic corporations in the 1870s
In the 1877 U.S. Supreme Court case, Munn v. Illinois, the court upheld the principle that states could regulate corporate activity. But despite this federal decision, California remained largely under corporate control - especially through the monopoly the Southern Pacific had on transportation rates. Gradually, farmers demanded fair freight rates and soon, small oil producers would demand fair rates. Further, Californians grew weary of the fact that the Southern Pacific consistently evaded taxes and overtly influenced California politics.
So some Californians sought to diminish its monopolistic control through reform.
However, the resulting U.S. Supreme Court decision, Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad Company (1886), forever changed the course of corporate history - not just in California, but in the nation as a whole.
"The court does not wish to hear argument on the question whether the provision in the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which forbids a State to deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws, applies to these corporations. We are all of the opinion that it does."
Thus, because of a headnote that never was included in the court's actual opinion, after 1886, corporations enjoyed the same 14th Amendment rights that individuals did.

Style: Shotokan--
I rarely post, but thought I'd throw this out there. My club is sponsoring a meet-up/gasshaku in the spring. We're inviting schools in Maine and the northeast. Focus is on traditional karate for teens and adults with a focus on live-training and realistic applications. We're non-profit, so I'm not out to drum up business, but if like-minded groups are out there drop me a PM.

Losing another Edward Pierre
While the city enjoyed the Circle of Lights, a much-beloved yearly holiday tradition Edward Pierre created many decades ago, bulldozers and wrecking balls were being planned for one of his buildings just a few blocks away at 1440 North Meridian Street. It was torn down this weekend.
His design for the Riddick Building in 1949, shown above, was altered substantially in later years from the inviting, open wall of glass meant to highlight the display of grand pianos on the first floor. As it looked most recently on Google Street View, below, shows the negative impact of such a severe alteration. The building, which once looked modern with its clean lines, glass walls, and streamlined columns, suffered from the addition of a stone façade that lent it the air of a small, but forbidding fortress on Meridian Street. Riddick Building, 1949-2013.

In the world of in-flight entertainment (IFE), industry stalwarts Panasonic Avionics and Thales reign supreme. But newcomer Intelligent Avionics is eager to carve out a piece of the pie with the introduction of a next-gen IFE system called AURA.
I've asked the firm's newly-appointed business-development VP in the Americas, Rob Britton, to guest-blog about the company and AURA for RWG, since precious little is known about the product. Rob is a former managing director of brand development and advertising for American Airlines.
While the industry will have to wait until the Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg to see AURA, I think you'll agree that Intelligent Avionics' message is clear (and the proverbial gauntlet has been thrown).
Here is Rob Britton in his own words:
I've felt like a newcomer all my life. When I was a kid, we moved all the time, lots of new schools. This time, as the new kid (okay, in real life I am a grandfather, but I feel young), I'm standing on the steps of the IFE School, holding my new AURA system in my backpack. It's ultra-lightweight, so I've got it with just two fingers. I'm excited, and a little scared, and my heart starts thumping when I see these two really, really big guys standing in front of the school doors. One wears a shirt emblazoned with a big "P," and the other guy has a "T" letter jacket. Both of them look menacing, the kind that don't welcome newcomers. But then I notice that both their backpacks are huge. They reach for their straps at the same time, and I can tell their packs weigh a ton. I zip between them, into the school. Whew!
It's often stressful and just plain hard to be a newcomer. But in my adult life, through several different careers (including a long one in airline marketing, where I held a dozen different posts with three airlines), I've come to value the benefits of being a newcomer.
Perhaps most important, the newcomer begins with an empty notebook. Incumbents have a thick pile of papers, filled with history, with successes and failures, often with rote, and with a certain amount of "we've always done it this way" thinking. Intelligent Avionics designed AURA from a clean sheet of paper, building a system to deliver on the four big things that airlines and airframers urgently want: lighter weight, greater reliability, a better passenger experience, and at a much lower cost of ownership.
Starting with a clean sheet of paper means developing a system with the processing capability and storage in the seat unit, not a heavy and fault-intolerant head-end server – like putting a netbook PC in every seatback. Decentralizing the system "smarts" means if the power is on, the customer has entertainment. Losing hundreds of kilograms of server means enormous fuel savings and reduced CO2 emissions – this means that in many cases the system could pay for itself with fuel savings. Being ultra-lightweight means narrowbody operators can, for the first time, consider a profit-generating AVOD system that's lighter and easier to manage than portable IFE.
Starting with a clean piece of paper means designing AURA so it's easy to install and to maintain. Fewer parts means greater reliability, so we've minimized the component count, and sourced from industry leaders. If a passenger screen unit fails, because it's hot-swappable, cabin crew can fix a problem as easily as fixing a pot of coffee.
Starting with a clean sheet of paper means building a flexible platform. From the start, AURA was designed for easy future upgradability – very different from our competitors. It's been configured from birth to handle copper, fiber, and wireless backbones and offer a broad product line for all cabins. We've built in capability for e-commerce and other revenue-generating activity – plus the ability to meet specific non-standard customer requirements.
The newcomer has a wonderful gift in the ability to ask why, always with tact and without threat, but with a genuine interest in understanding earlier choices and decisions and current offerings in the market. The newcomer does not carry any heavy baggage. We like being a newcomer.

So thinking back over the experience of playing Gone Home, I marshaled some of my favorite moments from the game -the touching, the heartbreaking, the weird, the fucked up. Some examples:
- Sam's story where the First Mate turns into a woman.
- realizing Sam and Terrence are into the same porn
- Terrence's new manuscript, The Accidental Human
- putting the Terrence/Oscar story together in the "molestation room"
- the fucking hair dye in the fucking bath tub
- finding Sam's "explicit" story and Karie's response
- Sam/Lonnie's note from class, with Lonnie's big "NO" on the back
- NOT finding Sam hanging from a fucking noose in the attic, or something equally miserable
What are some of your favorite Gone Home moments?

ROCK HILL — May Williams wasn't happy with her bowling score. She couldn't even make her age. Maybe it was because of the hubbub around her 102nd birthday party.
"I'm doing terrible today, but I'm not going to worry," Williams said. "I think I have plenty of games left."
Williams makes it to the bowling alley at Strikers in Rock Hill three times a week. The league she bowls in threw her a party Wednesday. Surrounded by about a dozen of her friends, all dressed up, just like Williams, she was the only one with a tiara on her head.
So what's the longevity secret of the oldest resident at Westminster Towers senior living community who takes no medication, dances in heels for the center's Dance Fever team, climbs the steps to her second floor apartment while her friends wait for the elevator and can grip your hand so hard it hurts?
"The Lord just hasn't taken me yet," Williams said, using her standard answer for the question that she is asked nearly every day. Then she smiles and gets serious: "I stay active. I do things. I'm happy and I have a lot of friends. I think everybody likes me anyway."
Her score sheets at Strikers show an average of 116, 118 and 120 in her three leagues. She bowled a 176 a few weeks ago. On Wednesday, she followed just about every roll of the ball with a dismissive wave of her hand.
Her only real physical complaint is poor eyesight. She can't see the pins well, so she goes by the markings on the front of the lane. One of her teammates tells her which pins are left standing for her second toss.
Williams was born in Greensboro, N.C., on April 19, 1911, when William Howard Taft was president. She married when she was 18, but her husband died a short time later in a railroad accident.
She met her second husband during World War II: She went out to dinner with a man the day before he headed overseas. He wrote her every day, ending his letters by asking her to marry him. She wasn't ready. After the war, she met his family in California. She leans over to tell the story, her hand over the side of her face.
"I was walking on the other side of the room and I heard him say, 'hasn't she got the cutest little butt you ever saw?' Honey, I could have gone through the floor. I told his sister, he's just too crude. But she said he was just nervous. I gave him another chance."
She ended up being glad she did.
"I could have looked all over the world and I wouldn't have found a better husband," she said with her radiant smile.
He wasn't happy when she took up bowling in 1970 after the couple sold their grocery store and retired. He thought bowling alleys were places people gathered to drink or gamble. But she liked it, so he accepted it.
Williams moved into Westminster Towers after he died five years ago.
Williams has rarely been sick – she had a tumor removed from her lung when she was 70 that led her to go from bowling with a 12-pound ball to a 10-pound ball.
But bowling isn't the only thing Williams does to stay active. While her 91-year-old neighbor Evelyn French takes the elevator to the apartment on the second floor, Williams takes the stairs every time.
"There's nobody like her," French said. "There's a saying around here – if you ask someone how they are doing, you better get ready for an organ recital. Not May."
French is also by Williams' side when the Westminster Towers Dance Fever team performs. Williams is the must see dancer for the hula or the salsa. "She has got some hip action going on," said Amy Laughlin, Westminster Towers' director of life enrichment.
"She never complains about anything. She never has a down day. She refuses to accept she is 102," Laughlin said.
Williams helped bring down the house last year when the Dance Fever team did their "dancing through the decades" performance. Williams enjoyed most of it too, from the songs of the World War II-era Andrews Sisters to the Bee Gees' disco boogie and the 1980s pop music from Katrina and the Waves.
But there was one dance this 102-year-old lady who refuses to consider herself old didn't like.
"I never did care much for the Charleston," she said.

This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club.
Liverpool are poised to make a bid for Manchester United and Chelsea target Adam Lallana in the summer.
The Southampton playmaker has been in dazzling form and is expected to be included in Roy Hodgson's World Cup squad.
The 25-year-old has recently courted interest from United and Chelsea, who are also hot on the heels of his team-mate Luke Shaw.
And according to reports, Liverpool are determined to complete a move for Lallana before England head out to Brazil.
However, it is also understood Southampton are yet to receive an official bid from the Reds.
Lallana, who was recently voted Southampton's Player of the Year has fired home nine Premier League goals this season.
England coach Roy Hodgson will announce his provisional World Cup squad on Monday.

South Carolina's Chad Holbrook ready for rivalry
South Carolina coach Chad Holbrook doesn't expect to feel different now that he'll watch the Clemson game from the dugout's top step of the dugout instead of from the third-base coach's box as Gamecocks assistant.
"I'm a head coach for the first time," Holbrook said Thursday. "But when we've played Clemson, I've been as anxious, as nervous as I will be tomorrow."
The Gamecocks (6-1) open a three-game series with the rival Tigers (5-2) on Friday night at Clemson. It's the first time since 1997 South Carolina won't be led by Ray Tanner, the two-time national championship coach who became the school's athletic director last July.
Tanner's program was a Tiger-killer the past few seasons, particularly in the biggest games. South Carolina won two straight over Clemson at the 2010 College World Series on the way to its first crown. A season ago, the Gamecocks knocked the Tigers from the NCAA regional with a pair of one-run victories. The Gamecocks have won 18 of the past 25 games in the series.
Clemson coach Jack Leggett said it'd be strange not to see Tanner looking back when the coaches meet at home plate. That won't change his team's focus or the stakes of the early-season showdown.
"I've been around long enough that I've seen faces come and go," said Leggett, Clemson's coach since 1994. "It's still the same two teams playing."
The series shifts to Greenville's minor-league park about 30 minutes from Clemson's campus on Saturday. The teams' conclude Sunday at South Carolina's Carolina Stadium.
There are several rivalry standouts missing this year. South Carolina slugger Christian Walker, ace Michael Roth and closer Matt Price all left for pro careers. The Tigers don't have their best player from a year ago in Richie Shaffer, who was also drafted last June.
Behind the yearly football rivalry, there's typically no bigger face-off for fans than baseball. Clemson's made 12 trips to the College World Series in its history, half of those under Leggett. South Carolina reached Omaha, site of the CWS, six times since 2002, winning the title in 2010 and 2011 before finishing runner-up to Arizona last summer.
Holbrook knows he's got large footsteps to follow and Clemson will be a strong early test of his leadership.
"We've been fortunate to be on the good side of things the last couple of years, but not because we have been that much better. When the games have been in the balance, we have made a critical play here or there, made a critical pitch here or there," Holbrook said.
That was especially true in last year's NCAA regional at Carolina Stadium. Clemson led 4-2 in the eighth in a winner's bracket game before South Carolina rallied for a 5-4, 12-inning victory. The Gamecocks took the regional title the next night 4-3 as Clemson left the tying run on base in the ninth.
"Most of the fans would base our football season on whether we beat (South) Carolina or not," said Daniel Gossett, the Tigers starting pitcher Friday. "So to know that they were the ones who put us out of the tournament was just an extra, extra weight on our shoulders."
Gossett will take on South Carolina lefty Jordan Montgomery, who has won both his starts this season.
Leggett has known Holbrook from the Gamecocks coach's time as a North Carolina player and assistant coach from 1990 through 2007. Leggett expects Holbrook to run things the same way Tanner had, relying on defense, speed on the bases and strong pitching to hold onto leads.
"It'll be a lot like Ray," Leggett said.
Holbrook has tried to give his players perspective on the rivalry series. It's a chance to measure how far the team has come three weeks into the season. But success this weekend doesn't guarantee a stellar Southeastern Conference season the same way defeat won't impact what the Gamecocks can achieve when league play starts next month.
Then again, Holbrook doesn't plan to hold anything back this weekend. Count on seeing several pitching changes to hold leads in tight games. Holbrook said if injured shortstop Joey Pankake isn't well enough to play the field, he will still likely start as Gamecocks designated hitter.
"Being honest here, these games are important," Holbrook said. "It's Clemson versus South Carolina. It's important to them. It's important to us."

This is not going to be an overly extended post, but it is just a thought on how to control impulse spending and also how to spend less while attracting abundance. I recently bought these Moneybands from this great website, linked previously. They are very nice and keep both my money and my cards secure, so secure it is quite a challenge to get them out. This is the main reason I bought them. If you trap your money in a place where it is hard to get to, then you will be more reluctant to spend it. It even encloses all your credit and debit cards in the dead center of this pile of money so that there is no way that you could just put it on your card real quick. Now, when I carry it around, I am rather hesitant to make a purchase that would make my life so inconvenient as to take the rubber band off, sift through the bills for the right one, and then clumsily hand the bills to the cashier, while digging in my pocket for change. If I know I am going to be spending money for sure, I take the amount out of the trap and use that in another pocket so that if I overspend at all, I'll need to go into the trap again.
Don't get me wrong, spending money is a form of giving, but when you are spending on things you do not need and will probably not use, it helps to have a way to stop this impulse, or as Fight Club would call it, the Ikea nesting instinct. I had bought two Jimi wallets and a couple leather ones before I settled on these extremely inexpensive rubber bands. And if you want to go super low-tech, I recommend a celery rubber band. You know, the one that holds the celery together in the supermarket. It works almost as well as these longer-lasting rubber bands. But if you buy enough celery, you are probably better off just sticking with those.
And I have to say that this has helped me monitor my spending significantly. But if I really want something, and I mean really want it, I will go through the painstaking process of removing my money from this trap and fumbling around for the exact change. Sure, using a debit or credit card is so much easier, and that is the problem. I hope someday we go back to gold, so that way, in order to purchase something of great value, we would need a pickup truck. Anyway, just a thought I was having while not buying a tempting item. I hope you got something out of this. If not, I'll have another article soon.

For someone who just found out they love Italian food, then this place is A MUST! I used to come here for their pasta as it is fantastic. Easily the best Italian restaurant in this town! Our waiter was very friendly, and we did not feel rushed at all to order and finish our meal, despite the popularity of this place. The prices are very reasonable for this type of restaurants; I'm already trying to find time to come back again!

My daughter and I had dinner with a friend here on a Saturday evening. The food was so delicious and the service was wonderful, we came back the next evening and ate dinner there again! This is with all the restaurants that the city of Manhattan has to offer! That's just how great this place is!! Love, love, love Bocca!
Posted by Thomas Rosario on 10/21/2014
Great service, we turned up without a booking on a Saturday night with 4 people. Food was great, everyone was impressed. The vegetarian gnocchi surprised me as a meat eater I would definitely order again.

We found Bocca East following a short walk around near my office. This was an all round good dining experience we had. The restaurant is very welcoming. The staff were efficient and polite, seating us and serving us quickly. The delicious food was nicely cooked, both of us enjoying our dishes. I went for a lobster and pasta affair whiles my fiancee opted for a slightly less ambitious pizza.
Posted by Melissa G on 10/09/2014
The service here was great. I came here with my boyfriend for a light linner at around 5 PM. We only ordered 1 dish between the two of us since we were pretty full already. Rather than charge us a splitting fee, which some restaurants do, the waiter brought us out our Fettuccine Bolognese on 2 plates for easy sharing free of charge. The dish itself was very good, with a rich, creamy sauce and perfectly cooked pasta.
Posted by jackyappleseed on 12/29/2013
I've been to Bocca at least 4 times and had a great experience each time. That's why I so surprised to see the negative reviews. The green dip that they serve with the bread is amazing and unique and off the menu I have loved the Papparadelle with Lamb Ragu, The Agnolotti, and a lot of great specials too. Love this place.

The food here is a high quality the chef Claudio Cristifoli is a real chef. The decor is rustic. The service is FROM ALL ITALIAN WAITERS THAT KNOW THER CULTURE.

Swimmers at a beach near Tampa Bay spotted something slightly unusual on Saturday: an elephant casually bathing in the shallow waters. Since they weren't hallucinating, beach-goers were left wondering how the pachyderm got there.
Apparently, the city approved a person's request to have a trained elephant present at a birthday party back in February. How the giant mammal got away, however, is another mystery.
Here's a video of the elephant enjoying itself on the beach, in case you need a moment of zen this afternoon. Florida, you keep doing you. -- Jordan Valinsky
Jon Stewart is keeping things especially friendly in his last episodes of The Daily Show, which will air next week. Fellow comedians Amy Schumer, Denis Leary, and Louis C.K. will be joining him on stage as his final guests, he announced Thursday.
The guests aren't exactly a giant surprise, as they're all Stewart's friends. Earlier this year, Schumer reportedly turned down an offer to take over The Daily Show after Stewart's departure (the job eventually went to Trevor Noah). Stewart has said in the past that Leary and C.K. are two of his favorite guests.
Not much else is known yet about Stewart's finale, which will air on Thursday Aug. 6. Pretty much all we know so far is that it will run an extended 50 minutes, and the lead-up will consist of a day-long Comedy Central marathon of old episodes, beginning at 10:30 a.m. But don't let that deter you from running with some additional rumors: The Washington Post, for example, suggests that Stephen Colbert might be making an appearance.

Jewish arsonists are believed to be responsible for torching a Palestinian home in the West Bank on Friday, killing an 18-month-old toddler and injuring three other family members inside. Israel's prime minister has called the attack an act of terrorism.
The suspected Jewish attackers wrote "revenge" outside the house in Hebrew, and threw fire bombs inside the home just before dawn, marking the worst attack by Israeli aggressors since a Palestinian teenager was set on fire in Jerusalem a year ago. The Palestinian group Hamas has called for retaliation for Friday's attack. Read more at Reuters. Jeva Lange
Amidst an eruption of internet fury over the killing of Zimbabwe's beloved Cecil the lion by American dentist Walter Palmer (who admits to killing Cecil, but contends that he thought it was legal), the African nation has asked the United States to extradite Palmer. Oppah Muchinguri, Zimbabwe's environment minister, charged that Palmer "had a well-orchestrated agenda which would tarnish the image of Zimbabwe and further strain the relationship between Zimbabwe and the U.S.A." Palmer has not been seen publicly since the controversy first erupted this week. U.S. officials have also launched an investigation of Palmer's hunt. Ben Frumin
The whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks charged that the U.S. has spent the past eight years or more spying on Japanese cabinet officials, banks, and other companies, the BBC reports. The National Security Agency apparently targeted at least 35 Japanese telephone numbers, including those linked to the Bank of Japan, Mitsubishi, and government ministries and offices. The U.S. allegedly snooped on discussions on trade, climate change policy, and nuclear policies. The U.S. also allegedly got intel on a confidential briefing that took place in Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's residence.
Japan is a close U.S. ally, as are Germany, France, and Brazil — other nations WikiLeaks has revealed as subjects of NSA surveillance. Jeva Lange
The Chinese capital, which also hosted the 2008 Summer Olympics, was selected by the International Olympic Committee on Friday as the official host of the 2022 Winter Olympics. Beijing will be the first city ever to host both a Winter and Summer Olympics. Almaty, Kazakhstan, was the runner-up for the 2022 Games.
Human rights activists are angry with the IOC's decision. "There is no hope that China would make any more progress on human rights than it did with the 2008 Games, and in fact things have declined radically since then under [President] Xi Jinping," John J. MacAloon, a University of Chicago historian, told the Los Angeles Times. Critics also contend that Beijing is "burdened by a host of major environmental and logistic issues, including air pollution, extreme water scarcity, and a dearth of high mountains and natural snow."

On Thursday, a federal judge ruled that Greenpeace USA was in civil contempt due to protesters blocking a Royal Dutch Shell icebreaker from leaving Portland, Oregon, for the Arctic. She also fined the organization $2,500 for each hour of the demonstration.

Throughout the day, protesters dangled from the St. Johns Bridge and activists in kayaks and canoes blocked the Fennica in the Willamette River. The goal, The Oregonian reports, was for the demonstrators to delay the ship for so long that it would lose a year of drilling work. The ship did have to turn around earlier on Thursday, but it later returned and law enforcement cut the lines of the protesters on the bridge, making a hole for the Fennica to squeeze through at around 6 p.m. The last demonstrator came down soon after. "It was tough to see the boat go through there, but every second counts," protester Razz Gormley said. "I consider this a victory." Catherine Garcia
After asking a diner to take her crying toddler outside and being told to "f—k off," an Australian chef and restaurant owner decided the time had come to ban children under the age of seven from eating in his establishment.
Liam Flynn, who has operated Flynn's in Yungaburra, Queensland, for 14 years, shared the news in a Facebook post, which was met with both enthusiasm and disappointment. "We've had mums and parents who feel that it's just outright discrimination, but it's mostly been positive," he told Business Insider. "I've had a lot of support. ... There are a lot of parents out there who understand where we're coming from."
Over the past weekend, it became clear he made the right decision: Flynn's had its best Saturday and Sunday ever in terms of sales. "Business is booming," he said. "People are spending up large, drinking fine wine." It's important to note that while children under seven are asked to stay home, dogs of any age are welcome at Flynn's any time. Catherine Garcia

So what your saying is that there are no jobs because of Hispanic's?
I am not a God Fearing man, but if I were, I would ask him to do all he can to bring this little boy home to his family ...... This is so sad ..... And I fear that it will not have a happy ending for anyone involved.
What do you think people ..... Maybe the entire family is just absolutely Shell-Shocked over this disappearance of this little boy?
This is too funny ............
Mr. Crazed Right Wingnut ..... Thank you for an entertaining letter, and the spirited debate it has created. Left VS Right, Right VS Left, and everything else in the middle ..... Great way to start my day here in Iraq.
Thanks Again ...........
3 Deadly Police Shootings so far this year? I may be way off base here, but that seems extreme ...... even to me.
From everything known and printed so far, it sounds like a good shoot. From the video, it seemed like an awful lot of rounds fired. How many times was the victim hit? 10, 15 times ??
I wonder what the National Average is for Deadly Police Shootings. City by City. I don't think even New York City has as many deadly police shootings. Altho, I could be wrong. (It's been known to happen a time or two) I have to say, I have lived in more than a few places all over this Great Country in the last 30 or so years, and I can't, for the life of me, recall any place that had as many deadly shootings involving the police, as I have seen in and around Portland Oregon, and I have only had legal residence in Portland since 2007. It just seems extreme to me, extreme indeed ..............
The writer of this letter really needs to go back to school and study his/her history.
War is just another extension of politics. Plain and simple.
The biggest problem with the war here in Iraq is the bloody media. You are not getting the full story.
The Iraqi's that I have contact with everyday are young men, between the ages of 18 and 26. And I'm here to tell you that they are dam glad that the Americans are here, that Saddam is gone, and are pretty dam scared about what is going to happen after we leave here.
The religious divide between Sunnis, Shiites, Kurds and Arabs is so wide that it will never be bridged. The elections were March 7th, and they still have not seated a new government.
We have not lost anything here but American lives, and you do those Soldiers, Marines, Sailors, & Airman a great injustice by asking such ignorant question.
You have nailed it perfectly.
Excellent, Excellent, Excellent .......Very well said sir ......
I LOVE IT !!!!! Made my day here in Iraq .... Thank You.
So let me get this straight ..... I'm a racist if I say anything derogatory about someone who tried to kill someone, not once, not twice, but 3 FREAKING TIMES IN ONE FREAKING DAY ???!!!!!!! because the guy is of color, and I'm white?? Is that correct Doris?? Unfreakinbeleiveable...
I am absolutley amazed by some of the intelligent comments that I have read here.
Not that I have any love for 5-0, but I would not want the job. As for the rest of you tough guys ..... you wouldn't last 2 minutes in the real world....... you'd be the first to wet your pants and call for a cop to save you if you ever found yourself in the wrong part of the city and were confronted by some of the animals that inhabit a "Gang Infested" area.
She knew where she was, and I'm sure she knows the rules in the street. It is very unfortunate that she was injured, but when 5-0 tells you to do something, is "patting you down" you comply. Plain and simple. You may not agree with it, you may not like it, but unfortunatley that is how it is. To many people have died because they did not comply. Instead of being so quick to sit here and be oh so self rightious, why not get involved in your community and contribute in ways that could work to avoid these kinds of confrontations..........
It simply amazes me ..... You read, but do not understand. How quick some people are to judge on such little real information.
Do you really think that a man who has spent the last 25 years as an educator of young minds would just simply go off half cocked one day out of the blue for no reason?
Don't you think it a little more than odd that a 30 year old "student" is going around a college campus offering to show how to make explosive devices and obtain automatic weapons?
I think I will wait for ALL the information to come out before I pass judgement ..............
My original question still has not been answered. I know that I went off on a tangent with my views on our present government, I sometimes can not help myself when it comes to that subject, but I still would like to know the answer regarding this Health Care Plan. I have tried to understand what exactly is going on, and mind you, I consider myself fairly intelligent when it comes to understanding things, that's why I am more than frustrated trying to comprehend all the different points of the two bills that will be "Reconciled" into one. I really don't see anything in either that will help me. If you can offer any assistance in this area, it would be very much appreciated.
Is anyone really surprised by any of this? Do you really think for one minute the our Government is going to do ANYTHING that helps out the "Little Guy"? Let alone come up with a National Health Care Plan that benifits us ..... The average income little guy. Because if you do, your living in a fantasy world.
As long as there are no term limits on political office, these mutts will continue with bussiness as usual. NO ONE in Washington D.C. has the little guys best interests in mind. They are so disconnected with the real world it's not funny. They have no idea what it is like to have to worry about real world living expenses, let alone health care cost's.
Take away all the "Perks" that our Politicians enjoy, make them have to live in the "Real World", and see how fast things change.
I do Love my Country, but I fear my Government.
I am in Iraq at the moment, but will be traveling thru Dubai on my way home for R&R in a few months ..... Can not wait to see it up close and personal ..........
He will get his ........
My question is why did'nt Ted just bring the building up to code and pay his debts. It was a place to get a good meal, but a deadbeat is a deadbeat. Seems to me if Ted did what he was supposed to do in the first place, he would still be open.

EQCA-Sponsored Resolution Calls for Passage of Uniting American Families Act
Sacramento – Today, Assembly Member Kevin de León (D-Los Angeles) introduced Assembly Joint Resolution 15. Sponsored by Equality California (EQCA), the resolution formally requests the United States Congress pass and President Barack Obama sign the Uniting American Families Act (UAFA). Under current federal law, American citizens are permitted to sponsor an opposite-sex spouse applying for legal residency. The UAFA seeks to extend this basic right to committed same-sex couples, who are currently prohibited from sponsoring their partners.
"It is disheartening that self-proclaimed pro-family groups and elected officials continue to support a law that harms so many families and children," said Geoff Kors, EQCA Executive Director. "We are calling on Congress and the President to take immediate action to address this serious problem by passing and signing the UAFA this year."
The UAFA was introduced by U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Congressman Jarrold Nadler (D-NY) on February 12, 2009. There are currently 95 co-sponsors of this bill in the U.S. House of Representatives, and 17 co-sponsors in the U.S. Senate.
"Hundreds of American families are living in legal limbo and are torn apart by not being able to sponsor their partner for immigration," said Assembly Member De León. "This tremendous inequality is fundamentally un-American and Congress must take immediate steps to protect all families once and for all."
The UAFA would amend the nation's Immigration and Nationality Act by adding same-sex "permanent partners" to the list of family members that a U.S. citizen or legal resident can sponsor for immigration. Under the proposed legislation, a "permanent partner" is described as an adult who is in a committed, intimate, financially interdependent relationship with another adult in "which both parties intend a lifelong commitment."
According to the U.S. Census, approximately 35,000 bi-national, same-sex couples currently live in the United States. At least sixteen other nations already have immigration policies allowing the sponsorship of same-sex partners: Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Israel, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, South Africa, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.
Equality California (EQCA) is the largest statewide lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender-rights advocacy organization in California. In the past decade, EQCA has strategically moved California from a state with extremely limited legal protections for LGBT individuals to a state with some of the most comprehensive civil-rights protections in the nation. EQCA has passed over 50 pieces of legislation and continues to advance equality through legislative advocacy, public education and community empowerment. www.eqca.org

COLONIE - A man accused of using a camera pen to record women without them knowing, is heading to prison.
Patrick Kaiser of Canastota was sentenced today to 2-4 years in prison.
In September, an off-duty police officer saw Kaiser put his foot between a woman's legs inside a Colonie grocery store.
Authorities quickly tracked him down and found the pen video camera in his car.

SSB News: Liu Wen Makes History as the First Asian Model on Forbes's Top-Earners List
Liu Wen debuted on Forbes list of top earning models this year, taking the number 5 spot. Wen is the first Asian model to be featured on this list. Wen, the first Asian model to make the cut, has had a career filled with firsts in her five years in the industry. Highlights include campaigns with Calvin Klein and Hugo Boss and becoming the first Asian Victoria's Secret Angel model and the first Asian model for Estee Lauder.
According to Fashion Telegraph, the rise of Liu Wen is a sign of the fashion industry taking note of the power of Asian consumers. China, Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia are responsible for about half of all the global luxury purchases being made around the world. British stores are starting to install UnionPay terminals for Chinese customers (China's only bank organization) to make their shopping experience easier. Chinese visitors usually spend about 3 times more than other international visitors in the area. British stores aren't the only ones recognizing the power of the Asian market. Elle magazine recently published its Elle Collections magazine that featured an entire shopping guide in Mandarin.
Although there has been an increase of Asian models on the runways in Milan and Paris the beauty world is the one that is really breaking ground with Asian models. Elle's Rosie Bendandi says "The beauty world is in love with Asian girls." Estee Lauder is one of the beauty brands leading the way in using diverse models, with contracts with Joan Smalls and Liu Wen. While it is clear that the fashion world could still use a bit of diversity, it is nice to see Liu Wen breaking boundaries and paving the way for other Asian models.

"We challenge ourselves, and we push each other," explains Harper. "From our bandmates and producer to our engineer, we all push each other. We don't let ourselves or each other settle for anything less than our best. There was definitely more of that done on this album, just because we dug deeper. We're able to dig deeper with each album."
Harper remains reserved when discussing his goals as an artist. Sure, mainstream adulation and a long, profitable career are naturally what he seeks, but a side of the 30-year-old Harper cries out for respect. Attention from contemporaries is nice, but Harper seems focused on gaining the respect from some of his biggest idols. Asked with whom he would like to share a stage or microphone, Harper doesn't hesitate.
"Bob Dylan and Neil Young are the only musicians I want to play with now," he says. "That's it. Forget opening -- I want to write a song with (one of them)." Tellingly, the list, which quickly grows to include Bruce Springsteen, is filled with artists who succeeded on their own terms, playing their own unique style for decades.
Though Pearl Jam singer Eddie Vedder said you should never get too close to your idols, then proceeded to become a lackey for Neil Young and Pete Townshend, the normally reticent Harper tries to justify his similar desire to work with the very icons whose work he has reclaimed as his own.
"It's not hypocritical, but I know what he (Vedder) means," Harper says. "There is a danger in it. And there is also the ultimate reward. Having worked with John Lee Hooker and Warren Haynes from Gov't Mule, that's the ultimate reward. There is a certain letdown, but there is also a certain breakthrough as well. They could be having a bad day, or they could be just an asshole. You never know. Some people just are bitter, and some people appreciate life on a daily basis. And some people are both on different days. People are so complex; I stopped trying to figure them out. But if you can meet in the middle in that moment, then anything can happen musically. (And) when it works, boy, it's the best."
Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals perform to a sold-out crowd at Mississippi Nights on Thursday, Feb. 17.
