CSU Campuses Celebrate Chavez and Spirit of Service
Fresno State renews Chavez tradition with garlanding ceremony.
April 2, 2010
By Teresa Ruiz
The spirit of "service and community" was in the air during the month of March as several California State University campuses took time to honor the late, non–violent civil rights leader and labor activist Cesar E. Chavez. Hundreds of students, faculty, staff and community members gathered in the California State University, Fresno Peace Garden for a week-early celebration of the Cesar E. Chavez state holiday on March 31. Highlights of the event were remarks by Chavez's 24-year-old grandson Anthony Chavez and professor emeritus of social work education Dr. Sudarshan Kapoor, as well as music and dance. The ceremony ended with Kapoor and Chavez placing a garland of red carnations around the bronze statue of the late farm labor leader in the garden.
At CSU Channel Islands, the campus celebrated Chavez's values of "Service to Others" and "Respect for Life and the Environment" with a blood drive, community volunteer fair and special presentation exploring media messages about food, agriculture and the environment. CSU Stanislaus proved Chavez's motto "¡Sí, se puede!", translated "Yes, it can be done!", is alive and well with their celebration last week. The day's events included a march based on events in Chavez's life, inspiring speeches, live musical and dance performances, as well as the award of winners of local poster and essay contests. In April, San Diego State University plans to pay tribute to Chavez with its eighth annual commemorative luncheon, in which all proceeds will go to SDSU's Cesar E. Chavez Commemorative Scholarship Fund.
Nearly two decades after his death, one thing is clear -- Chavez's legacy as a community organizer, advocacy work to protect and serve farm workers, and spirit of promoting social justice and civil rights lives on in the CSU. For more information visit the Cesar E. Chavez Foundation.

For a child who is allergic, insect stings can cause serious and sometimes even deadly reactions.
Insects that can trigger allergic reactions include honeybees, yellow jackets, hornets, wasps, and fire ants. When they sting, they inject venom into the skin.
Allergic reactions to stings usually don't occur when a child is stung for the first time. The reaction usually occurs when the child is stung for a second time, or even later.
If your child has been diagnosed with an insect sting allergy, keep injectable epinephrine on hand in case of a severe reaction. This is a medicine that your doctor can prescribe. Share emergency plans with anyone who cares for your child, including relatives and school officials. Also consider having your child wear a medical alert bracelet.
Talk with your child's doctor about seeing an allergy specialist to discuss the possibility of allergy shots. These shots can help the body react less to insect venom, which can make a serious reaction less likely.
If you think that your child might have had an allergic reaction to an insect sting, check with your doctor. He or she can test your child for an insect sting allergy and help you understand the difference between a typical reaction to an insect sting and an allergic reaction. The doctor also can determine if an insect sting site is infected, which requires different treatment than an allergic reaction.
When someone is allergic to insect stings, the body's immune system, which normally fights infections, overreacts to proteins in the insect's venom. When stung, the body sees these proteins as harmful invaders.
The immune system responds by working very hard to fend off the invader. This causes an allergic reaction, in which chemicals like histamine are released in the body. The release of these chemicals can cause someone to have these symptoms:
Insect sting allergies can cause a severe reaction called anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis can begin with some of the same symptoms as a less severe reaction, but then can quickly worsen, leading someone to have trouble breathing or to pass out. If it is not treated, anaphylaxis can be life threatening.
If your child starts having serious allergic symptoms, like swelling of the mouth or throat or difficulty breathing, give the epinephrine auto-injector right away. Every second counts in an allergic reaction. Then call 911 or take the child to the emergency room. Your child needs to be under medical supervision because, even if the worst seems to have passed, it's common for a second wave of serious symptoms to occur.
An epinephrine auto-injector is a prescription medicine that comes in an easy-to-carry container about the size of a large marker. It's simple to use. Your doctor will show you how to use it. Kids who are old enough can be taught how to give themselves the injection.
Staff at your child's school should know that your son or daughter has an insect sting allergy. You should agree upon a plan in case of a serious reaction and the injectable epinephrine must be available at all times. If your child is old enough to carry his or her own epinephrine, it should not be in a locker, but in a purse or backpack that's with your child at all times.
Your child's allergy plan also could include giving an over-the-counter antihistamine for milder allergy symptoms. But the antihistamine should be given after the epinephrine in the case of a serious, life-threatening reaction.
If a stinger remains in the skin, use your fingernail or a credit card to scrape the stinger from the skin. Removing the stinger quickly can help prevent more venom from going into the body. Don't use tweezers because they can cause more venom to be released.
The best way to prevent allergic reactions to insect stings is to avoid getting stung in the first place. Teach your child to:

MASSENA Massena Public Library officials are getting ready to start circulating petitions through the town of Brasher for the proposed branch library that would be located in Crapser Hall on the second floor of the former Boothe Building in downtown Brasher Falls.
Library Director Elaine Dunne-Thayer said petitions will begin circulating this week throughout the town of Brasher. Library officials need 80 signatures by July 31 to get the proposition on the November ballot.
That represents 10 percent of the individuals who voted in the last gubernatorial election.
She said at last count, they had 700 cardholders from the Brasher area.
We would obviously like as many as possible, she said. We want to make sure this is something residents would like to explore.
Ms. Dunne-Thayer said some of the petition process will involve residents going door to door.
They are looking for Brasher residents to form a Friends of the Library committee to help with the petition process.
When a person signs the petition, it must be witnessed by another Brasher resident. Its definitely a Brasher initiative by Brasher residents for Brasher residents, she said.
Anyone interested in being on the committee can send a message through the Books for Brasher Facebook page at www.facebook.com/BooksForBrasher or by calling the library at 769-9914.
Were encouraging people to contact us on the Facebook page, and we can tell when and where they can sign the petition. If people are not on Facebook, they can call the library and I will let them know who to contact, Ms. Dunne-Thayer said.
Were looking for a permanent group. Right now were looking for a group thats interested in the library and would like to help out with the process, people genuinely interested in getting involved with the library. We hope it will morph into a permanent group, she said, noting they would be dependent on that group to raise money to help build the branch librarys collection.
In addition to the door-to-door campaign, Ms. Dunne-Thayer said they plan to have an open house at Crapser Hall. Some of the librarys staff will be on hand, and visitors will have an opportunity to hear their plans, see the space and sign the petition.
They are working with a marketing consultant and representatives from the North Country Library System.
If theyre successful in their petition campaign, the signatures will be presented to the Brasher town clerk to be added to the ballot, where residents will determine if they want to financially support the branch library.
Its a two-part process to see if theyre interested, Ms. Dunne-Thayer said. Its up to the people in the community. Its sort of a grassroots initiative.
Library officials had been approached about a possible branch library in Brasher after a community survey of Brasher residents indicated a library was one of the top facilities they wanted in their town.
Library trustees agreed during their monthly meeting June 11 to move ahead with the proposal. That allowed them to begin gathering the signatures.
Theyve set a $56,000 annual budget that would be covered by Brasher residents only through a tax.
Among the costs are $13,000 for the part-time managers salary and benefits. That person would be paid $15.73 an hour for 15 hours a week.
That cost is based on 50 percent of the highest paid part-time employees hours being spent at the branch. Their plan is to staff the branch library with a part-time employee who would not receive benefits.
It also includes $10,000 for furniture, $12,500 for a starter collection, $3,600 for heat and lights, $5,400 for the technology and automation startup and rent at $400 a month for a five-year lease.
The proposal also includes $2,700 for an initial marketing campaign, which is being donated by the Friends of the Massena Public Library.
Should the initiative fail, Ms. Dunne-Thayer said Brasher residents would still have the library service in Massena.
Theyre always welcome at the Massena Public Library, she said. At last count, we had 700 cardholders from the Brasher area. We will continue to honor those cards and provide the best services. Were just wondering if they would be willing to pay for improved services.

The St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center Task Force is looking to expand as it digs in to fight the closure of adult and youth inpatient services in Ogdensburg.
Mayor William D. Nelson said he will appoint six or seven new members to the task force at some point next week.
Currently the task force includes Mr. Nelson, St. Lawrence County Industrial Development Agency CEO Patrick J. Kelly, County Administrator Karen M. St. Hilaire, City Manager John M. Pinkerton, County Community Services Director Angela Doe and Chairman Charles W. Kelly, Ogdensburg.
Id like to have some business leaders, some members of the community with a direct associate with mental health, Mr. Nelson said. Just someone who is willing to roll up their shirt sleeves and jump in and get things done.
Mr. Kelly said getting more people involved on the task force will help the group energize and broaden out. Theyll be able to think about things we havent.
The next step for the task force is to personalize the issue, Mr. Kelly said.
We want [to hear from] people with personal stories about their relationship with the psych center, Mr. Kelly said. Anyone with a story about the psych center should send it to Mr. Kelly or Mr. Pinkerton at City Hall.
This is part of the fiber of our community, Mr. Kelly said, noting the hospitals more than 120 year history in the city. Youd be hard pressed to go to any block in the city of Ogdensburg and not find someone who works there or has family that works there.
Mr. Kelly said the plan is to gather personal stories and send them to Albany to help make the case for keeping the inpatient services local. The plan put forward by the state Office of Mental Health is to move adult inpatient services to Syracuse and child services to Utica.
We want to start showing the human impact of the closure of this facility. Decisions are made in Albany, Mr. Nelson said, but really right here in Ogdensburg its the humans that are impacted.
Mr. Nelson said the task force will provide the backbone of the organization to fight the closure but they will need support from all over the north country.
Its going to be an entire north county effort, Mr. Nelson said. Were looking for people across the six country region to help us in the fight. The Psych Center serves people in St. Lawrence, Jefferson, Franklin, Essex, Lewis and Clinton counties.

Whether it's Rita Ora's plastic tattoo necklace or Elle Fanning's stacked diamond and pearl strands, there's no doubting that chokers are back in a very big way. The '90s staple even made an appearance in Lanvin, Miu Miu, Carven, and Alexander McQueen's Spring/Summer 2014 collections, which means, yes, this trend is really happening (and isn't going anywhere soon!). But if you're still side-eyeing the resurgence of jewelry you wore in middle school, we found some awesome options no matter your style or budget. Seriously! Check 'em out below.

Robert Andino because I do not see at a cost of $1.4 to 2.0 Million that he would bring any more to the table than would Ryan Flaherty at a cost of less than .5 Million. Andino has no options remaining and will either have to be placed on the DL or DFA'd to get off the 25 Man Roster. Flaherty will have two Option Years remaining and gives the club more flexibility.
thezeroes wrote:Omar Quintanilla because he has the very the same value as a AAA/AA player would have but they (the MiLB players)would be signed for half the cost. He, Omar, also is out of options and would plug up the 25 man roster.
thezeroes wrote:Steve Pearce and Lew Ford would take roster space that would be better served if given/kept with L.J. Hoes and Xavier Avery. Pearce alone would cost as much per year as Hoes and Avery and would have very little upside.
thezeroes wrote:I am a little reserved about Teagarden. We need a backup catcher to give Wieters more days off in 2013 than he had in 2012 but could a journeyman minor league catcher do as well as Taylor has and again at a reduced cost. I think I would resign Taylor Teagarden for less than $1 million but have more depth signed at Norfolk just in case.

WHY???? Except for Tillman all of our young SP still have options. There's no reason that we would HAVE TO cut ANYONE to keep our bullpen intact. Considering the complete lack of young quality LH relievers on the free agent market this winter, if Patton were to be released he would be jumped on faster than a large breasted nympho thrown into a max security prison.
You're ragging on beer vendors Seriously I still like the Rule V route or internal promotion
Why not allow Matusz to start at AAA and finish his development as a SP? We don't need him in the bullpen and he could matriculate as high as a #2 SP.
You DO understand that we pick 24th this year, right? The only talent waiting for us at that point will be an overage over weight beer vendor with a bad hair piece. If we find any power arms this winter it will be through good scouting followed by a minor league signing.

PHILADELPHIA First Students bus contract with the Indian River Central School District will include cost-saving benefits and a tighter contract than Watertown-based Freeman Bus Corp. provided.
The new five-year contract, which starts July 1 with the Cincinnati-based company, will save the district enough money to add bus runs and includes specifics the previous contract lacked, including the requirement for a performance bond, driver penalties and training.
Because of what officials called an aggressive bid by First Student, the district is poised to expand its number of bus runs and add after-school busing back into the 2013-14 budget.
The current years contract with Freeman was budgeted for $3.9 million but would have increased next year with the population growth in and around Fort Drum. In total, next years First Student transportation contractual budget which includes seven new runs will be about $3.95 million.
Over the next five years, the district anticipates spending a total of $16.72 million for the home-to-school contract, $482,024 for the field trip and sports trip contract and $336,520 for summer transportation, according to Business Manager James R. Kochs calculations.
Freeman Bus Corp. CEO Robert C. Freeman III confirmed First Students bid was substantially lower than his. However, he would not disclose how much his bid was, saying it was up to the district to reveal the amount.
Im disappointed by the decision, he said.
He was told the bids were sent out because of the increasing cost of the contract. However, he said, it may have been noncompliance issues that led to the decision.
The increase in the cost of the contract was due to the population growth in and around Fort Drum, Mr. Freeman said.
He said even if Freeman were operating under the same contract next year at Indian River, the contract would have increased because Freeman charges by the mile and hour.
Transportation Director Richard Burr said the bids were not public record until the new contract is in place. After the contract starts, a Freedom of Information Act request will have to be filed to obtain the amount, he said.
The district, as with the previous contract, will provide buses, fuel, tires and a facility. The contractor provides drivers, monitors, mechanics and driver training.
To change the contract, the district by law had to solicit bids. Previous complaints against Freeman included mechanics not being trained to the districts liking and an undersupply of bus drivers.
As much as we attempted to please the district in the performance of the contract, it seemed we were not living up to their standards, Mr. Freeman said.
He also said the contract setup, which included district personnel directly supervising his personnel, sometimes led to a difficult environment.
The districts Board of Education voted unanimously Thursday to accept First Students contract.
Mr. Koch said mechanic training will be tougher than it was under the Freeman Bus Corp. contract.
First and foremost, Im worried about student safety, he said. Can these guys fix brakes properly? Can they change a tire without it falling off the rim? Thats important.
The new contract specifies the district will also buy bus engines and transmissions in most cases. The industry-standard software used to determine whether a bus passed inspection had to be specified in the language. Driver penalties for misbehavior, such as failing to pick up students without contacting parents, were also specified in the new contract.
A clause was added that gender identity and sexual preference were not to be discriminated against.
Thats a little thing, but we wanted to know that standard was maintained, Mr. Koch said.
There are 97 buses in the districts fleet. According to Mr. Burr, the fleet will increase to 106 buses in July. That would require the list of 95 active drivers to grow as well.
A letter sent to the districts transportation employees Friday outlined the changes and specified each Freeman employee who meets First Students employment standards will be offered a position to meet the needs of the firm in fulfilling its service commitment to the district.
Mr. Koch said those standards are basic, such as a physical and drug test, which should not be a problem for most employees.
However, First Student never sent the language about driver pay it was supposed to provide to the district. The information is not public record, according to Mr. Koch, and he did not know whether First Student planned to keep the same driver wages.
He recommended drivers bring their most recent pay stub when they meet with Kenneth G. Johnson, First Student state business development manager, to discuss their income.
Mr. Burr said wages will be determined on an individual basis.
Whomever the drivers decide to work for, Mr. Freeman had warm words for them.
I believe my staff did an outstanding job in getting kids to and from school safely, and Im proud of them all, he said.
First Student contracts with the Gouverneur Central and Lisbon Central school districts, according to Mr. Johnson. Its largest contracts in the state are with the Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo city school districts.
We look forward to working with the school district and doing a good job for them, he said.

We're Dreaming Of a White Chocolate Eggnog Cordial Christmas
Egg Nog Balls (Set of 2 Bags) 5 5
A Nod to (Egg) Nog Rum Balls! In a word, these eggnog rum balls are dee-licious! The shot of rum within is substantial, perfectly complementing the egg-noggy white chocolate shell. Serve them at a party and they won't last long (but definitely not for the kiddies - the rum in these things is STRONG!) Rum-a-licious! February 14, 2013
Unique Christmas gift My hubby loves Egg Nog, which I don't. And we both love White Chocolate. So, what could be bad? And I was right -- we BOTH LOVE them !! February 12, 2013
really yummy... I initially ordered these along with other products for the holidays but i so fell in love them that i had to order more (fearing they might disappear when the holidays were over)....they are really wonderful! January 22, 2013
Delicious Balls My friend the eggnog expert was delighted that I found eggnog in white chocolate balls. He stated they tasted very rich and the balls satisfy his craving for eggnog when the liquid was not available. January 7, 2013
Christmas cheers Just as described with the eggnog flavor and a burst of liqueur to please the most discriminating palette. November 22, 2012

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (MarketWatch) — "It's as if 2008 never happened," warned a BusinessWeek editorial last year. A new crash is certain to complete what the 2008 meltdown started but failed to complete — reform Wall Street.
Everybody knows Wall Street's still playing the same speculative games that triggered the 2008 crash: Bankers and politicians never learned history's lessons from the 2008 crash, that our "mutant capitalism" is eating at America's soul, handicapping future generations — we will repeat them.
Free homes for wounded veterans
J.R. Martinez, a U.S. veteran, may be famous for winning on "Dancing With the Stars," but he now works with a nonprofit organization that donates custom-built homes to disabled veterans -- mortgage-free. Amy Hoak reports.
Today it's even worse: Arab Spring. Occupy Wall Street. And they're about to kick into high gear for the 2012 elections. EU banks, Europe's great nations, the euro, all still in danger. Greece collapsed. Fears it's not over. U.S. debt's blowing an ever-bigger bubble. Then, last week EU Central Bank President Mario Draghi announced that Europe's liberal social net is "gone." That's as gut-wrenching as Obama saying Social Security's gone.
And just when you though it couldn't get worse: The World Bank warns that China is headed for collapse. Imagine China crashing. The country holding over a trillion of America's debt. The same China that's running all over the world like a 19th century Wild West robber baron, using reserve dollars they got from years of financing America's costly wars and cheap toys.
Adding insult to injury, China's now using these reserve dollars to buy and hoard huge land resources, commodity futures and equities worldwide. Yes, China's rubbing it in: China's future is being paid for at the cost of America's future.
China's Super Rich and America's Super Rich are both self-destructing
Meanwhile back home, Washington, Wall Street and Main Street are so transfixed on our bizarre 2012 election drama, "American Idol" and other titillating reality shows that most fail to see what's happening outside our narrow vision — like the World Bank's game-changing new report predicting China's headed for a major collapse that will sabotage the global economy.
Yes, a collapse of China. And what's really fascinating is how China's predictable doomsday scenario parallels America's. Yes, we know America's elite Super Rich gained virtual control over Washington the past three decades. And now, ironically, that same bizarre capitalism is sabotaging the goose that laid the golden egg for China's Super Rich too.
In that game-changing study just released by World Bank President Robert Zoellick we're "warned of a spreading crisis," says Reuters.
Get it? The cause of China's problems is exactly like America's. In both nations, a new, powerful Super Rich is aligned with politicians — will eventually self-destruct. The World Bank warns that China's corrupt state-owned companies have created a Chinese Super Rich class aligning communist party bosses and corporate executives.
And neither has any interest in the World Bank's call for reforming their incestuous economic system — which is exactly the same problem with America's conspiracy between our Super Rich, Wall Street CEOs and Washington politicians.
China? Or America? Who will crash the global economy first?
"Zoellick warned another crisis was building at a time when the budgets of many developing economies had not fully recovered from the 2008 financial storm, adding to their fiscal strains," says Reuters. No recovery? Why? Simple, because Wall Street hates reforms, loves the status quo, unregulated capitalism. Makes them rich. The same guys that pocketed the bailout cash are bank insiders, fought all reforms and are back to business as usual.
No wonder BusinessWeek said "it's as if 2008 never happened."
But look beyond America's sheltered shores: The bubble is metastasizing globally, half of all developing countries' budgets have deteriorated as deficits increased:
"If the situation deteriorates further," warns Zoellick, "developing countries' growth could turn down, their asset prices could drop and then their non-performing loans could increase" along with nationalism and protectionism, and a "crisis made in the developed world could become a crisis for developing countries," consuming the entire $75 trillion global economy.

Dry skin can be frustrating. In addition to flaking and dryness, you may also be experiencing redness, irritation and even a feeling of tightness and discomfort. If you want to treat dry skin, you need to approach it from two different angles.

Read: Amnesty Buyouts Need To Be Part Of The CBA
In the NY Post, Larry Brooks writes that the NHL needs to have amnesty buyouts part of the new CBA to allow teams that to transition themselves from the cap of $70.2 million to $60 million for 2013-14.
Brooks says that a certain kind of amnesty program could be put into place that would help both the players and the owners:
Players bought out under this program before this season at either one-third or two-thirds depending upon their age could be re-signed only for the difference between the buyout amount and the full contract. The entire amount would count against the players' collective share but the buyout team would not be charged a cap hit.
The NHL is vehemently against the idea of amnesty buyouts, and caps on escrow, being part of the CBA.
At CBC, Elliotte Freidman says that it will be very tough for certain teams to maneuver if buyouts aren't part of the CBA "So if the cap is $60 million in 2013-14, how are the Lightning ($57.5 million for 15 players), Philadelphia Flyers ($57M for 16) and Boston Bruins ($57M for 16, no goalies) among others going to make it work?"

Rasheed Wallace Could Miss Rest of Season
According to Ian Begley of ESPN New York, Rasheed Wallace could miss the rest of the season due to the stress reaction in his left foot:
As the uncertainty surrounding Rasheed Wallace's left foot injury lingers, members of the New York Knicks organization fear Wallace will be out for an extended period, possibly for the entire season, two league sources told ESPNNewYork.com.
Brian DiMenna
It's been sort of remarkable the way Rasheed Wallace went quickly from amusing figure on the end of the bench, to critical member of the second unit, to day to day with a minor injury, to we'll likely never see him again. It's been something of a whirlwind.
What's been really more amazing is how much they've missed him, both his ability to defend, his skill in posting-up and his ability to stretch the floor with three-point shooting, even if such shooting was sometimes mildly ill-advised. Without him, the defense has sagged — though there's some evidence that was already happening — and with Marcus Camby also struggling with injuries, rumors have intensified that the Knicks are stepping up efforts to lure Kenyon Martin to add another defensive presence off the bench and ensure there is always at least one lunatic in a Knicks uniform at all times.
Of course, Martin is a far different player on offense and doesn't bring exactly the type of skills the Knicks are missing in Wallace, but without Camby AND Rasheed, there really is a need for someone off the bench who can spell Tyson Chandler without suffering so much on defense. Stoudemire can play center in spurts, but given his problems protecting the paint it's not an ideal substitute. Personally, I can see the logic of Martin, but I'm not totally excited about the idea either, mainly because I'm just not sure at this point in his career he really has all that much to offer, though I suppose he can step in to the Kurt Thomas role of "filling in a pair of shorts."
