CSU Super Sunday at 22 Congregations in Northern California
February 17, 2010
By Erik Fallis
Last updated Feb. 25
CSU Super Sunday services took place at 22 churches throughout Northern California. The weekend's Super Sunday built on the 31 events held at churches throughout Northern and Southern California on Feb. 14.
In Sacramento, CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed spoke to hundreds of Saint Paul Missionary Baptist Church parents, students and congregants with the message to begin planning for college admission as early as middle school, and to enroll in challenging classes that prepare for college.
CSU Super Sunday is the annual kick-off to the university's African American Initiative and church partnerships. Now in its fifth year, the CSU has expanded Super Sunday outreach to 100 California churches over several consecutive Sundays.
The complete list of churches with the schedule of events is available online and includes locations in Northern, Central and Southern California.
CSU Super Sunday featured on CSU Voices and Views blog
This year Cal State Los Angeles President James M. Rosser and Cal State East Bay President Mohammad H. Qayoumi took time to reflect on the importance of programs like Super Sunday in the CSU Voices and Views blog. President Rosser's "Super Sunday and a parable of success," shares the story of a Cal State L.A. alumnus who went on to become the chief financial officer and corporate president of Boeing, the world's largest aerospace company. President Qayoumi wrote about the university's commitment to diversity and his own educational journey as a first generation college student in "Our Commitment to the Dreams of Students." The blog also features photos from Southern California and Northern California events.

Last Wednesday evening, residents of Hillcrest Estates packed city hall during a scheduled Wellington City council meeting. The citizens attended the meeting to state their feelings toward a new gravel plant that will be opening soon near their homes.
On Dec. 8, Wellington City signed papers allowing a contractor to set up a gravel pit and crusher near where the Valley Asphalt pit currently stands. The pit will be used while construction and improvements are made to U.S. Highway 6 in the next several years. Residents claim that the council did so without notifying the nearby homeowners before a final decision was made.
Speaking on behalf of the homowners was Hillcrest Estate resident, Lynda Day who questioned the council as to why the citizens weren't allowed to participate in the decision process.
"Someone from the neighborhood was contacted by our office," explained Wellington City Mayor, Karl Houskeeper. "A contractor wanted to reactivate the pit for general gravel removal. So they bought the right to do so and there is no ordinance which allows the city to regulate gravel operations."
There are several issues which concern the residents about the operation of a gravel pit near their homes. The main worry is that the property value of their homes will drop greatly once operation begins at the plant.
Residents also worry about the dust, sound and vibrations caused by such an operation and the presence of a gravel crusher.
"Vibrations will be monitored and will comply with regulations during the time when blasting takes place," assured the mayor. "We will make sure that if there is no law that says this has to be done, then we will suggest it ourselves."
Another issue which concerned both the council and the citizens was water. Where will the water come from which will be used to control dust?
According to Houskeeper, the contractor plans to use secondary water to control the dust. However, once the secondary system is shut off for the winter, water will have to be brought into the area a different way.
Residents continued to voice their concerns regarding the pit and indicated that they were disappointed that they did not have further input into the matter. This disappointment was displayed when the issue of zoning was brought up.
"Wasn't this area designated a residential zone years ago," questioned Day.
Council members indicated that they did not believe that the land which will be used for the gravel operation was zoned residential.
"Because there was a pit there prior to this new operation, the grandfather clause takes affect," indicated the Wellington mayor.
Day then questioned that if the property had changed hands, then shouldn't the grandfather clause no longer apply.
"There has been an agreement made with the new contractor and Henrie Construction to set up the crusher on land that is owned by Henrie. Therefore, the rule does apply," Houskeeper explained.
As the residents continued to protest the presence of the gravel pit, the question was brought up as to why a mining operation could be set up near a residential setting.
"According to federal guidelines, gravel is considered a mineral. Therefore, it meets the guidelines of being a mine," indicated Day who had researched the matter. "An area where coal or other minerals are extracted is considered a mine. So is this not a surface mine?"
Houskeeper who works for the Utah Division of Oil, Gas and Mining explained that in the state of Utah, gravel is not classified as a mineral and therefore, state and local goverment agencies have no control over the extraction process. He said the operation is not considered a mine.
Citizens were also concerned about the environmental impact the gravel pit will have on the area after the operation is complete.
"The owner has agreed to a $25,000 bond which will be used to reclaim the area when the plant is no longer in use. This is said to be in 10 years but they may be done using it within five," advised the mayor.
Most residents were unsatisfied with this figure and questioned where the dollar amount came from.
"The dollar amount was figured upon the cost to reseed an area based on $80 per acre. The area in question is 40 acres," explained council member, William Bates. "Actually, the new owners went above and beyond what was required because there is nothing that says that they have to reclaim the area once they are finished using it."
After a lengthy discussion regarding that matter, residents summarized the situation as lacking public input. According to those citizens in attendance, the city council failed to inform the homeowners about the potential pit operation. Therefore, the council acted without input from the Hillcrest residents.
"We have discussed this matter during previous public city council meetings in which no one appeared to contest the matter. We then acted upon legal advice and was under the impression that there was little we could do to stop the matter since their were no zoning issues involved," explained Houskeeper.
Members of the council agreed to table the matter and in the meantime, the city will seek a second legal opinion regarding the issue.
"The problem is, we don't have enough Wellington residents involved in politics," stated Bates. "We meet twice a month and meeting times, dates and agenda items are posted at city hall the day before the meeting."
However, concerns may have been voiced too late and Hillcrest residents may be stuck with living near the gravel pit operation.
The council meets again on January 14 and will continue to look into the matter.

Because the Portland cop wasn't issuing Wu a citation, the Democratic congressman did nothing wrong when he provided the officer the address of his friend Stuart Cohen, who happens to live a few blocks from the scene of Wu's February 2010 crash (see "Asleep at the Wheel," WW, March 16, 2011).
But by telling the officer he considered Northwest Portland his home, the seven-term congressman did make a startling admission. That home is not in the district Wu represents, but in the district of fellow Democratic Rep. Earl Blumenauer.
In fact, when Wu returns to Oregon from Washington, D.C., it appears that the Democrat does not often live in his home district, which stretches from Southwest Portland to the Oregon coast. That is based on what he told the police in February 2010, what a longtime neighbor of Wu's told WW this week, and what his own spokesman said.
Wu owns a home in his district, an 1,800-square-foot house in Portland's Southwest Hills. He's registered to vote at that home, which property records show he's owned since 1989. Wu's driver's license is registered to that address. But at least since announcing his separation from his second wife in December 2009, Wu hasn't regularly lived in the home.
Jim Park, who lives across the street from the home Wu owns, considers the house unoccupied. "There isn't anyone you could consider a permanent resident [there]," says Park, a Democrat. "About twice a year someone comes and cleans up the front yard."
Curiously, it's not against the rules for congressmen to live outside their districts. To run for the Oregon Legislature or Multnomah County Board of Commissioners, one must live in the district one wants to represent. To run for Congress in Oregon, one must only live somewhere in Oregon.
Is Wu committing voter fraud if he votes in one district but resides in another? Probably not, if his relocation is only temporary, which is how a spokesman for Wu characterized Wu's practice of staying with Cohen. Elections officials weigh several factors when determining where someone should vote, and an elector's intent figures heavily in the equation. Wu's "intent" could be to return to his Southwest Portland home eventually.
"Voters should know Congressman Wu has lived in the district for decades and will continue to do so going forward," says Wu spokesman Erik Dorey.

Federal sequestration will prompt a reduction in Federal Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) for Utahns beginning in late April. The Utah Department of Workforce Services plans to implement the 17 percent reduction on April 28.
This reduction applies to any individual who exhausts their regular state unemployment benefits and becomes eligible for EUC on or after April 28. This reduction will not impact regular state unemployment insurance benefit amounts or benefits to any individual who has established a claim for EUC prior to April 28.
As part of the Budget Control Act of 2011, also known as sequestration, the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL) directed states to begin reducing EUC claimant's weekly and maximum benefit amounts on or after March 31, 2013. Though states are allowed to choose the date of implementation, the percentage will increase the longer it takes for states to implement the reduction.
The Utah Department of Workforce Services administers the unemployment insurance program in Utah. The department will begin notifying about 225 unemployed workers per week beginning April 28 informing them that their weekly and maximum EUC benefits will be reduced.
Workforce Services will continue to provide the claimants with re-employment, training, and educational opportunities to help them find employment.
The EUC program is currently authorized to pay up to an additional 14 weeks of emergency federal benefits on top of the original 26 weeks of regular state unemployment benefits. This makes a total of up to 40 weeks of benefits. This federal program is scheduled to end on December 28, 2013.
For more information or to file a claim for EUC benefits, visit https://Jobs.Utah.Gov or contact the state UI Claims Center by phone: Salt Lake/South Davis Counties: 801.526.4400; Weber/North Davis Counties: 801.612.0877; Utah County: 801.375.4067.

Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
Back to the roots! "The white ecstasy" in the birthplace of skiing. In St. Anton am Arlberg, Atomic free-ski star Daron Rahlves will head-to-head defend his title in the Red Bull Hüttenrallye in the free-ski 6-cross competition on 27 and 28 January. Starting for Atomic as well: Matthias Haunholder.
Two kilometers across country in the Arlberg backcountry – skiing over hill and dale or even hay barns at the Red Bull Hüttenrallye 2012. Free-ski pro Daron Rahlves set high standards last year, when he found the perfect line. "This race is pure pleasure of skiing", ATOMIC All-star and former super-G world champions Rahlves says. "I am especially excited about the enthusiasm of the non-professionals, who are ski instructors and hobby racers. These guys really know how to rock it. We pros have to rev up." Rahlves' colleague, free-ski pro Matthias Haunholder, agrees, "You better not be sensitive. Everything is allowed more or less – and that really is a lot of fun!" The scenery reminds of the film classic "The White Ecstasy", the free-ride heroes ruthlessly rush down the mountain. Details about the race: almost 2 minutes race duration, 400 meters of altitude, almost 2 kilometers of unprepared area, hay barns, steep turns and an energy-sapping per pedes passage have to be passed. The finish is located directly next to the Galzig-Bahn, so all ski enthusiasts who want to experience the free-ski stars first-hand, can easily get there by foot. Four non-professionals and two pros will race at the same time and the three fastest racers move on to the next round. Both, men and ladies, can not only gain a unique experience, but also win a Suzuki.

|New research finds that in mice, transplanted neurons grown from embryonic stem cells can form proper connections with other brain parts. Writing in The Journal of Neuroscience, researchers described an experiment in which they successfully grew neurons from stem cells in Petri dishes, then transplanted those neurons into the brains of young mice. James Weimann, one of the authors of the study, said that the work was a hopeful sign for stem cell based treatments on the horizon. "These stem cell-derived neurons can grow nerve fibers between the brain's cerebral cortex and the spinal cord, so this study confirms the use of stem cells for therapeutic goals," he said. However, the researchers cautioned that this work was so far only performed in young mice, and it remained to be seen whether the approach would work in older mice or in other animals. We'll talk with Weimann about the project.

When someone advertises a product as modern, you can usually expect a few bells and whistles, lights and lasers, or some form of hands-free technology. The pitch is usually meant to keep your eyes off of the price, and modern usually means more money out of your pocket. Fortunately, when it comes to modern flatware, unnecessarily flashy and expensive is far from what you're getting.

Imagine there was a new place opening up in March. It would serve Bollywood-Tex cuisine. Would you go?
What if it was only open for one night?
What if its chef was the Red Lion's Brian Alberg?
Most people are a little taken aback by the prospect of Indian/Texan culture coming together but Stockbridge's IS183 Art School for the Berkshires plans to jam the two into one night full of color, music, art and yes, food.
"Who doesn't love a barbecue?" says Alberg. He will be working with a diverse range of chefs in the Berkshires to bring the culinary aspect of the event together. For his part, the Red Lion is donating a pig and two lambs to be spit roasted whole. Alberg intends to serve the pig three ways, the lamb is still up in the air (so to speak.)
The event takes place on March 31. Between now and then, we'll visit the six different chefs who make up Alberg's team and get their take on cooking for a cause and unlikely combinations.
Here's are a few menu items so far:
Alberg's Whole Hog, 3 Ways
Grilled Curried Eggplants
Carmelized Paneer Mushroom Tarts
Crisp Vegetable Pickles in a ginger and mustard seed brine
Ghandi's Grit - Skillet Corn Bread.
And that's just a sketch.
The Buckaroo Bollywood Ball starts at 6 p.m. on March 31, at Interlaken (the former Desisto School)
Tickets for the dinner and dance start at $150 per person.

Drum Festivals Everywhere
here i am sitting at my desk wondering how fast the last few days have passed by? i remember that last saturday i drove 500km to holland and delivered the instruments for our booth at the adams drumfest. as soon as i unloaded the gear, i drove another 100km to duesseldorf airport where i stayed overnight. luckily the hotel had a gym so i was able to work out a bit after that long ride. my back needed it. next morning, i picked up nick d'virgilio and my colleague bernie from the airport. they have arrived from the salon de musique in paris. we drove to the adams festival, nick played a 60 minute set and we hung out quite a bit and had a good time. the next day, i dropped the guys off at the airport in duesseldorf again followed by another 500km ride back home.
tomorrow i will fly to newark for the weekend to attend the highly anticipated modern drummer festival. derek roddy is our man there performing this year for us. i am excited to go for another md festival. it's always a very special thing and one of the highlights of the international drumming community.
last but not least, the first three videos from the drum festival are online now. check them out here, or on meinldrumfestival.com. the videos are thomas duerrfeld (juggling and drums), jaska raatikainen (children of bodom), and felix pollard (lionel richie). more videos to come soon.
i will try to blog from the festival. so stay tuned for more.

"Such behavior cannot go unchallenged.
You could call Reid's remark ugly and be right. It certainly was boorish. Asinine? That goes without saying.
But to fully capture the magnitude of Reid's remark (and to stop him from doing the same thing to others) it must be called what it was -- a full-on threat perpetrated by a bully who has forgotten that he was elected to office to protect Nevadans, not sound like he's shaking them down.
No citizen should expect this kind of behavior from a U.S. senator. It is certainly not becoming of a man who is the majority leader in the U.S. Senate. And it absolutely is not what anyone would expect from a man who now asks Nevadans to send him back to the Senate for a fifth term.
So today, we serve notice on Sen. Reid that this creepy tactic will not be tolerated."

"Surely the governor can find a temporary replacement whose views are consistent with those of Kennedy and the Massachusetts voters who kept faith with him since 1962. Michael Dukakis, an elder statesman of Massachusetts politics, would be one good choice to uphold the Kennedy legacy for the few critical months before a special election. The former governor's career speaks of a politician whose explicit promise not to seek the office could be trusted, even if no law can be cited to enforce the pledge."

Not surprisingly, those with children under 18 in the household are more likely to view the yard as a place where the whole family can interact, and where kids can play.
It would seen obvious what a yard at a home is used for. Many people love their yards and tend to them regularly, while others hate the fact the grass needs to be mowed, watering must be tended to and weeds need to be removed. Often these people aspire to live in housing in which they either don't have a yard or someone else takes care of it for them.
Some laugh and say that is what kids are for.
It may seem odd to a lot of people, but there are entities out there that want to know what people do with their yards, to their yards and what they use the yards for.
According to recent surveys conducted by Harris Interactive, Americans with a yard will be looking forward to three activities in their yards in 2013: relaxing, planting, and spending time with family.
The first study, conducted in December 2012 among more than 2,800 U.S. adults on behalf of PLANET, the national trade association of landscape industry professionals, finds that yard ownership is highly prevalent (88 percent) among Americans. In fact, 81 percent of those with a yard/landscape say the upkeep of their yard/landscape is important to the look of their home.
When asked what the yard is commonly used for, most say relaxing (26 percent), followed by planting flowers/vegetables (17 percent) and spending time with family (14 percent).Â
Not surprisingly, those with children under 18 in the household are more likely to view the yard as a place where the whole family can interact, and where kids can play.
"We're glad to see that Americans are taking pride in their well-kept landscapes and find them important areas for relaxation and quality time with family," says PLANET CEO, Sabeena Hickman.
The first survey was conducted online within the United States by Harris Interactive on behalf of PLANET from December 11-13, 2012, among 2,893 adults ages 18 and older.

[quote author=Ashcrow link=board=7;threadid=6856;start=0#64008 date=1050713378]
Try OpenBSD!
Just spent some time looking over the website, and my, does OpenBSD look good. Maybe just the thing I am looking for. I'll have to spend some more time reading the man pages and other docs in the site.
So, Ashcrow, what specifically do you like about OpenBSD?
Well I will chime in since I wholeheartedly agree with Ash here on this one.
OpenBSD takes anal retentiveness to the next level. They make sure that the base system is as robust as it comes. The kernel is one of the most stable kernels I have yet to grace on a system, and since it is almost UNIX, it makes it all the much better.
I have yet on any OBSD system, had stability or speed issues. I havent tried getting GNOME 2.x running on it yet, but it shouldnt be that bad of a chore. Ports is great. just basically grab the latest ports for that release, and you cd into the ports folder, find the app you want to install and its as simple as a "make install". Builds from source. Would liek to point out that there are packages (very similar to slackpacks) as well that can be downloaded too.
And when it comes to servers -- nothing beats an OBSD server. There are few things OpenBSD cant do (SMB client, games ...), but what it can do is phenomenal. I can do (on bradband, 768K IIRC) in 30 minutes a base install and get NAT, pf both up and running in a commercial environment.
If you do NFS, OpenAFS, or ftp it works like a champ. SSH, Apache, BIND ... same thing ;D See what I am getting at? RedHat stress tests .. but OpenBSD anus tests. It checks to see if the asshole is tight enuf so shit cant get out and cost people jobs.
Now, since all I see you as needing is a great stable OS, that can do TeX, Mozilla, FTP, and possibly SSH, OO.org, and IRC ... why not use OpenBSD? That is really the Q? A base install is somewhere around 30-45 MB. then add goodies like libs and X and such.
Oh and one last thing -- I remember you mentioning small HD space, remember to do a make clean after doing a ports install to clean up disc space then.

Stephen Vass was driving back to work after lunch through Beaverton on the morning of Feb. 14 when he turned left off of Southwest Cedar Hills Boulevard onto Southwest Canyon Road. Like many of us sometimes do, he swung out too wide and went into the far lane as he made his turn.
Moments later, the lights of a Beaverton Police Department motorcycle filled his rearview mirror, Officer Peter J. Dalton on duty.
Dalton gave Vass a ticket for violation of Oregon Revised Statutes 811.340, an improperly executed left turn. The fine: $260.
"It seems a little severe," Vass says. "I was wondering how many other poor bastards had gotten this."
So Vass did a little digging. He asked the Beaverton Police Department for statistics on Dalton's ticket-writing history.
It turns out the Beaverton police's nine traffic officers gave out 618 tickets in the past year for improper turns. Dalton, all by his lonesome, wrote 564 of them.
Officer Mike Rowe, who spent seven years as a traffic officer and is now the Beaverton police's spokesman, says many traffic cops have a pet issue.
"It's not uncommon for a traffic officer to [write] a large amount of [tickets for] a specific violation," Rowe says. "You find certain violations you focus on."
But Beaverton police records show most traffic officers hand out tickets for the "big three" violations: speeding, talking on cellphones, and running a red light or stop sign. They account for most of the tickets Beaverton officers wrote in the past year.
But Dalton's mission seems to be to eradicate improper left turns, by far the top violation for which he wrote tickets in the 12 months starting February 2011. His No. 2 ticket: improper right turns.
In all, Dalton wrote $146,640 worth of tickets for improper turns in that period—more than 10 times the amount of tickets all other Beaverton traffic officers wrote for the same violations.
The Rogue Desk asked to speak to Dalton. Rowe says Dalton is on leave, but it's not related to any disciplinary matter.
Rowe says improper turns can be dangerous: If you pull out too wide, you can cut off, or even hit, a car to your side.
The Beaverton Police Department, he says, sees it as serious. "You can cause injury," he says. "It's not a minor thing."
Beaverton Police Chief Geoff Spalding agrees that officers often develop favorite traffic laws they like to enforce. He tells WW he was unaware of Dalton's enthusiasm for improper-turn tickets, and he promises the department will look into the officer's high numbers.
"I'm not sure what's prompted this officer to take interest in this," he says. "Either someone in the community has brought this to his attention or it might be that he's seen that it's causing accidents."
Indeed. But here at the Rogue Desk, we wonder: If this is so important to the Beaverton police, wouldn't every officer be out cracking down on illegal turns?
Apparently not—while Dalton was writing his 564 tickets for improper turns, the officer with the next-highest count wrote 16.
It seems to us that the Beaverton police don't just have an officer with a particular traffic fetish.
They have allowed him to become a cash machine. That earns the entire department Rogue of the Week honors.

Testing Arguments
The majority of my posts here will consist of testing arguments. For instance, I am working on an answer to a challenge of Dr. William Lane Craig to skeptics over the nature of visions. He has a challenge for skeptics that he complains has never been taken up. I plan to do my best to answer any arguments. It's my hope that if my argument is posted, the folks at Triablogue will provide a friendly critique of what I have written so I can best refine my argument, correct any errors I have made, and if there are any ignorant gaps in my thinking, I can be politely prodded to cure my ignorance with further reading, studying, and thinking on the subject.
Look, I want to say that I do not consider myself an expert on Christian apologetics or ancient history. I am hoping that my participation here can help me to acquire expertise or at least set me on the path to where I need to be. For what it may be worth, I see no shame in admitting that I am a undergraduate student. Graduate school seems a year and a half or so away for me.

The Winter Olympics have been a huge draw for many people this year. In fact, for Americans and Canadians, they have dominated the television ratings since opening night. Given the excitement of many of the sports, it's not surprising the games have garnered so much attention. In fact, when comparing these games to the Summer Olympics, it seems that many of the featured sports are considered rather extreme and dangerous. There is snowboarding, which landed one American Olympic hopeful in the hospital with a traumatic brain injury prior to the games. Then there are the high speed sports of skeleton and luge, which involves athletes sledding on a track either head first (in the case of skeleton) or feet first (in the case of luge) with no protection other than a helmet. The danger of these latter two sports has been especially apparent following the death of a Georgian athlete during a training run in which he was traveling at an estimated 89 miles per hour.
So why is it that so many athletes not only choose to participate in a sport with such risk but seem to be constantly pushing themselves to more extreme levels? One possible answer comes from the personality psychology literature and is related to a trait called Sensation Seeking. This individual difference, which is thought to vary from person to person, is often characterized by 4 behaviors: Thrill and Adventure Seeking, Experience Seeking, Disinhibition, and Boredom Susceptibility. Not surprisingly, individuals who score high in this measure are more likely to engage is risky behavior that is known to be thrilling and provide high levels of excitement. Also not surprisingly, athletes who participate in extreme sports (such as skydiving) rate especially high on this measure. What's also interesting is some researchers have argued that sensation seeking involves addictive-like components. Namely, high sensation seekers experience a "rush" when engaging in risky behaviors but often need to engage in even riskier behavior soon after to experience this same feeling.
It's no wonder then that so many athletes who participate in the Winter Olympics are returning every 4 years with bigger and faster maneuvers. When competing in a sport filled with people who are always looking for their next rush, the words "Go big or go home" become a way of life.

Saved My Soles
"I bought these shoes on a trip to NYC last year. I had stupidly only brought dress shoes with me that were not broken in yet. By the end of the first day of my trip, my feet were in a lot of pain and I was really regretting my poor packing decisions. I hobbled into DSW on my sore, blistered feet and found these shoes. When I put them on I was immediately relieved. There is memory foam or something similar in the insoles that felt like clouds to my aching feet. These shoes saved my trip, and though I bought them as an emergency backup, they ended up becoming one of my favorite pairs of shoes. They're very comfortable and I'm going to buy another pair to replace the worn out ones."
