Anger is an emotion characterized by antagonism toward someone or something you feel has deliberately done you wrong.
Anger can be a good thing. It can give you a way to express negative feelings, for example, or motivate you to find solutions to problems.
But excessive anger can cause problems. Increased blood pressure and other physical changes associated with anger make it difficult to think straight and harm your physical and mental health.
Adapted from the Encyclopedia of Psychology
What You Can Do
Controlling anger before it controls you
Anger is a normal, usually healthy emotion we all experience. But when anger gets out of hand, it can cause problems at home and at work. There are ways you can get control of your anger, instead of letting it control you.

January 2015 - Overview for the Month
The month of January is dedicated to the Holy Name of Jesus, which is celebrated on January 3. The first eleven days of January fall during the liturgical season known as Christmas which is represented by the liturgical color white. The remaining days of January are the beginning of Ordinary Time. The liturgical color changes to green — a symbol of the hope of reaping the eternal harvest of heaven, especially the hope of a glorious resurrection.
The Holy Father's Intentions for the Month of January 2014
Univeral: That those from diverse religious traditions and all people of good will may work together for peace.
Evangelization: That in this year dedicated to consecrated life, religious men and women may rediscover the joy of following Christ and strive to serve the poor with zeal. (See also Apostleship of Prayer)
Feasts for January
The feasts on the General Roman Calendar celebrated during the month of January are:
Focus of the Liturgy
The Gospels for the Sundays in January are taken from St. Matthew, St. Mark and St. John and are from Year B, Cycle 1 of the readings.
Highlights of the Month
In the first part of January we continue to rejoice and celebrate Christ's coming at Bethlehem and in our hearts. We have the wonderful feasts of Mary, Mother of God, where we honor Mary's highest title, and then we follow the Magi to the crib as they bring their gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh on Epiphany. Finally we reach the culmination of this season with the Baptism of Our Lord by St. John the Baptist. With a touch of sadness we take down our decorations and enter into the liturgical period known as Ordinary Time where we will devote ourselves to the mystery of Christ in its entirety.
This is a time of growth and an opportunity to allow the dignity of Sunday to shine forth, prolonging the joy of Easter and Pentecost. Besides those previously mentioned the month's major feasts include: St. Basil the Great and St. Gregory Nazianzen (January 2), Holy Name of Jesus (January 3), St. John Neumann (January 5), St. Andre Bessette (January 6), St. Raymond of Penafort (January 7), St. Anthony, abbot (January 17), Sts. Fabian & Sebastian (January 20), St. Agnes (January 21), St. Vincent of Saragossa (January 22), St. Francis de Sales (January 24), Sts. Timothy and Titus (January 26), St. Angela Merici (January 27), St. Thomas Aquinas (January 28) and St. John Bosco (January 31).
The feasts of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton (January 4) and the Conversion of St. Paul (January 25) are superseded by the Sunday liturgy.
The Winter Seasons
The opening days of January may be cold and nature bleak, but the domestic church still glows warm with the peace and joy of Christmas. We dedicate the New Year to Mary on the January 1st Solemnity honoring her as Mother of God; and on January 6, the Solemnity of Epiphany, we rejoice with her, as her Son is adored by the three Wise Men.
Herald John, who ushered in the Advent season, is present once again to close Christmastide on the feast of the Baptism of Our Lord (The First Luminous Mystery), and to open the Season of Ordinary Time. He points to Jesus, the Lamb of God who unites time and eternity in the Eucharistic Sacrifice, and even January's diminishing darkness seems to echo St. John's prayer: "He must increase and I must decrease."
In this liturgical season the Church eagerly follows Our Lord as he gathers his apostles and announces his mission. At Cana's wedding feast (The Second Luminous Mystery) he performs his first public miracle at the request of his Mother, and his disciples saw his glory and believed in him.
We, his present-day disciples, pray for a like faith as we contemplate the eternal wedding feast of the Lamb and the unique role of the Blessed Mother in the plan of salvation. May we wholeheartedly obey her words of counsel: "Do whatever he tells you."
Thou shalt call His Name Jesus, for He shall save His people from their sins.
January 1
Mary Mother of God
It is through the virginal Motherhood of Mary that the Word was made flesh. In adoring the Son of God made man in the Child of Bethlehem, we recognize that Mary is the Mother of God. Magnificat
Recipe of the Month
Twelfth Night Cake
This cake is made for the Feast of the Epiphany and whoever gets the beans becomes the wise kings.
Activity of the Month
Blessing of the Home
This blessing of the home and inscription of the initials of the three Magi above each door can be performed either by a priest or the father of the family.
A young girl who refused to abandon her practice of the Christian Faith and therefore suffered death at the time of the Diocletian persecution. This symbol expresses her sacrifice for the Faith.
One of the Greek Fathers, Bishop of Caeserea, and brother to SS. Gregory of Nyssa and Peter of Sebaste, was a prolific writer and defender of the doctrine of the Incarnation of Jesus Christ. The emblem refers to his building up the Church.
The Bishop of Geneva, well loved for his gentleness and moderation, followed the example of Christ by converting through love and patient understanding.
A commander of the army in Milan, Sebastian exerted his influence to strengthen and save fellow Christians during the Diocletian persecution. He was denounced and ordered shot to death with arrows, but when it was discovered that he was still alive, he was beaten to death.
Blessed be His Holy Name.

Chicago staggers under debt, obligations
CHICAGO — This is now the city of big debt, where each of Chicago's 2.7 million residents — from infants in diapers to senior citizens on fixed incomes — is on the hook for about $20,000 in long-term pension promises and bond obligations.
Like the relentless snow clogging the city's streets, it just keeps piling up.
Chicago is not bankrupt Detroit, junk-status Puerto Rico or New York at the brink of insolvency in 1975. Yet the city of gleaming skyscrapers along Lake Michigan's shore tripled its debt load from 2002 to 2012, as it ignored annual pension payments and borrowed for capital and operating expenses. A $590 million payment for retirement obligations is due next year, threatening cuts in everything from police to garbage collection, a tax increase or both.
The rescue Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel needs will have to come from another financial leaky boat, the state of Illinois, which has the lowest credit rating among states. Lawmakers in Springfield, the capital, on Dec. 3 approved retirement-benefit cuts to address a $100 billion state pension shortfall. Not, though, for Chicago.
The city is about to pile on more borrowing, worsening its status as the biggest carrier of per-capita debt among the nation's most-populous cities. Chicago plans to sell $650 million of bonds in the coming weeks, adding to liabilities that soared in the past decade.
In the 10 years starting in 2002, the city increased its bonded debt by 84 percent, to $7.8 billion, according to the Civic Federation. That added $1,320 to the tab of each city resident. Among the 14 major cities surveyed by the group, only New York recorded a higher per-capita increase, $1,555 in that period. The average jump was $324.
At the same time, Chicago's per-capita pension obligations for teachers, police, firefighters, transit workers and other employees almost quadrupled, topping $11,800 in fiscal 2012. The combined debt burden from pensions and borrowing reached almost $19,600 per person in 2012, the federation said.
It took years for Illinois lawmakers to address pension shortfalls. Chicago doesn't have the luxury of a long debate. Like all other municipalities in the state, it must make higher retirement-fund payments next year, as required by a 2010 law.
"The work is far from finished," Emanuel said in a December press release after lawmakers approved the bill cutting state pension benefits, saving Illinois an estimated $145 billion during the next 30 years. Chicago is "standing on the brink of a fiscal cliff."
Moody's Investors Service made a similar observation in July when it cut the city's grade three steps to A3, six levels below the top, and tagged its general obligations with a negative outlook. A reduction of that magnitude was unprecedented for an American city as populous as Chicago, according to Moody's data since 1990.
The New York-based ratings company cited "large and growing pension liabilities and accelerating budget pressures" stemming from them.

BOSTON (AP) - New research suggests that high levels of BPA, achemical in many plastics and canned food linings, might raise the riskof miscarriage in women prone to that problem or having trouble gettingpregnant.
The work is not nearly enough to prove a link, but it adds to "thebiological plausibility" that BPA might affect fertility and otheraspects of health, said Dr. Linda Giudice, a California biochemist whois president of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. Thestudy was to be presented Monday at the group's annual conference inBoston. Last month, ASRM and an obstetricians group urged more attentionto environmental chemicals and their potential hazards for pregnantwomen.
BPA, short for bisphenol-A, and certain other environmental chemicalscan have very weak, hormone-like effects. Tests show BPA in nearlyeveryone's urine, though the chemical has been removed from baby bottlesand many reusable drink containers in recent years. The federal Foodand Drug Administration says BPA is safe as used now in other foodcontainers.
Most miscarriages are due to egg or chromosome problems, and a studyin mice suggested BPA might influence that risk, said Dr. Ruth Lathi, aStanford University reproductive endocrinologist.
With a federal grant, she and other researchers studied 115 newlypregnant women with a history of infertility or miscarriage; 68 wound uphaving miscarriages and 47 had live births.
Researchers analyzed blood samples from when the women werediscovered to be pregnant and divided them into four groups based on BPAlevels. Women in the top quarter had an 80 percent greater risk ofmiscarriage compared to those in the bottom group even though they weresimilar in age and other factors. However, because the study isrelatively small, there was a big range of possible risk - from onlyslightly elevated to as much as 10 times higher.
"It may be that women with higher BPA levels do have other riskfactors" for miscarriage that might be amplified by BPA, Lathi said.
The study is not cause for alarm, but "it's far from reassuring that BPA is safe" for such women, she said.
To minimize BPA exposure, avoid cooking or warming food in plasticbecause heat helps the chemical leak out, she said. Don't leave waterbottles in the sun, limit use of canned foods and avoid handling cashregister receipts, which often are coated with resins that contain BPA.
"It's impossible to avoid it completely," Lathi said.

Comments about Sony Sony 1.4 GB Mini DVD-R Media:
When I use Sony mini-DVDs, my DVDs generally complete formatting and do not give errors, when trying to copy them to a hard disk. But, even these every now and then, when you least expect them, can give you fatal errors and cause the loss of up to 30 minutes of recording. Use of Sony disks does help, but disks continue to be riskier than tapes.

Les Deux Alpes – France
Les Deux Alpes (pronounced Lay duh-zalp) sits at 1650m in the Dauphine region of Isere. Although the resort could once have been described as a concrete monstrosity, many of the buildings that line the main thoroughfare have now had face-lifts, leaving them looking like authentic alpine chalets. When you add to the improved aesthetics the wide choice of slopeside accommodation in Les Deux Alpes, as well as reliable glacial pistes, a cutting edge snowpark and boardercross zone, and a lively apres ski scene, it is hard to imagine anyone not enjoying their stay.
The ski area itself covers 220km and the lift system is modern and fast, coping well with all but the biggest of school holiday crowds. The town is long and thin, and although there is no clear centre, most of the restaurants in Les Deux Alpes are to be found around the main gondola stations, while many of the Les Deux Alpes hotels, bars and shops are at the lower end of town.
The 6 day Les Deux Alpes lift pass allows for two days skiing in Alpe-d'Huez, but an infrequent one hour bus journey, or a pricey helicopter flight, are currently the only links, unless you have a car in resort.
- Snowcat tours across the glacier provide wonderful views.
- Take a lovely family or group walk to visit the Ice Caves.
- Visit the pretty village of Venosc by gondola.
- Chill out at the Aqua Centre with a massage and sauna.
- Try your hand at night skiing.

Santorum's Attack on Higher Education Easily Debunked
Speaking with Glenn Beck last week, Santorum launched this culture war attack on higher education:
On the president's efforts to boost college attendance, Santorum said, "I understand why Barack Obama wants to send every kid to college, because of their [sic] indoctrination mills, absolutely … The indoctrination that is going on at the university level is a harm to our country."
He claimed that "62 percent of kids who go into college with a faith commitment leave without it," but declined to cite a source for the figure.
Jose at Texas Freedom Network makes a quick fact-check:
The info appears to come from this study published in 2007 in the Social Science Research Council's journal Social Forces (hat tip to PBS for pointing us to it).
The study does say that 64 percent — not 62 percent — Yikes! It's even worse than Santorum thought! — of students enrolled in traditional four-year colleges report a decline in attendance in religious services. But what the study also says and that Santorum neglected to mention is this:
Yet, 76 percent of those who never enrolled in college report a decline in religious service attendance.
Kevin Drum adds:
Now, this is a new one to me. It's commonplace for movement conservatives to believe that universities are dens of depravity and radical left indoctrination. So far, so normal. But as far as I know, most of them don't believe that efforts to get more kids into college are motivatedby a desire to destroy their faith. That's a step beyond even normal wingnut land.

Going to Las Vegas
We are looking for a hotel that has a good pool (or pools) for our 2- and 4-year olds. We're thinking Vegas just because it seems to have everything but are open to other places. We want a good pool for them to play in, maybe some water slides, with either warm winter weather or an indoor pool. We probably only want to stay a few days. The only place I know that fits the bill is in Hawaii which seems a little far to go for such a short time. Ideas about a hotel that would fit the bill?
My family will be going to Vegas in September. I am especially interested in a hotel with a great pool, with lots of variety, appropriate for an 11-year-old. I prefer the hotel to be on or near the strip, but the pool is as important as the location. Thanks. Amy
We are going to Vegas for a conference at the end of March and need to find a babysitter for our 14mo son while we are there. The hotel service is $35 an hour! I'm looking for someone so that we can work during the day and won't feel that it's prohibitively expensive to go out at night. Thanks Kelly
Since you have a 14 month old and will be working at a conference all day and want to go out ''child free'' in the evening, I would suggest you turn your working trip to Las Vegas into a vacation for the parents. What about leaving your baby at home with a pair of grandparents,two grandmothers, or the regular babysitter? Then your child is at home in comfortable surroundings with people that love him/her. There is nothing worse than being cooped up in a Las Vegas hotel room with kids. There is nothing on TV for kids as hotel owners don't want you in your hotel room. They want you in their casino gambling.
What about bringing some grandparents or your regular babysitter with you and paying for another hotel room? Then they can take your child out during the day. We usually stay at Mandalay Bay or the Hard Rock. Both have excellent pools for the kids. Mandalay Bay is probably better for a smaller child. The Hard Rock has a great water slide at their pool. The Hard Rock is also a smaller hotel that you can actually enter and get to your room without walking through a casino.
Walking through casinos is a big issue for my family since both of my children have asthma and there is a tremendous amount of smoking in Las Vegas. Sabrina
my sister and her family are coming in april from england and
after 4 days in the bay area we plan to do a roadtrip that will
also take us to las Vegas.....we will be 4 grown-ups,2 teenage
girls(12 and 14)and a toddler (21mo)...i have been looking
online at all the diffrent hotels and my english brother-in-law
definetely wants a hotel right on the strip...now i want to know
what would be a good choice for our diffrent ages??
i,ve been to Las vegas once but stayed at a motel that time
thankful for any response
I would like to know recommendations for the best places to stay in Las Vegas with two 9 year olds. Any thing that stands out as fun or places nearby to visit that you liked. What you liked or disliked about your visit. Thank you! Nancy
Treasure Island stages pirate battles every evening in front of the casino. I think they are every 1.5 hr, at 7, 8:30, and 10:00, but the schedule is posted in front of the casino, and you should probably check rather than rely on my memory. Free.
The Mirage has a fountain in front that turns into a volcano every fifteen minutes after dark. It's really pretty cool. Free.
The Belagio has a huge lake in front with fountains that are synchronized to music. I'm not sure how often they go--maybe once every half hour. They change the music each time. Free.
New York, NY has a Coney Island midway with a roller coaster. The roller coaster goes outside around the casino, and it's probably the fastest roller coaster I've been on. It's an expensive roller coaster--$10 or more for a 3 minute ride.
The Hilton has a Star Trek ride that is definitely worth it if you have any Trekkie bones in your body. Part live action/special effects, part motion simulator, you get to really feel like you're in a Star Trek episode. It also has a nice Star Trek museum (memorobilia, timelines, and movie clips) on your way in. I think it's about $15. Coming out of the ride you come to the Promenade, a theme shopping area with a restaurant called Quark's that I highly recommend. You can schmooze with Klingons and Ferengi while you dine (really--they have Klingons and Ferengi there during lunch and dinner hours). The food is pretty good, too.
Caesar's Palace has the Forum, which is worth seeing even if you don't want to shop because of its trompe l'oeil ceiling and outdoor ambiance. It also has an animatronic display of the fall of Atlantis. Free. There's also a motion simulator ride, the Race for Atlantis. I found it quite stomach-churning, but I have trouble with motion simulator rides generally, and this one is pretty long.
The Stratosphere (looks like the Space Needle) might be worth a visit. I think it cost $5 for the elevator ride up. The views were great. There are 2 rides on top--a roller coaster and another ride that I don't think I will even try to explain.
The Venetian has a Grand Canal with gondola rides.
Circus Circus has an amusement park.
As for where to stay, Circus Circus is pretty affordable and seems like it would appeal to kids. Treasure Island or New York New York might also be a good choice. Carrie
My brother has proposed that we take my dad to Las Vegas
for his 80th birthday in May. I am the only one of my siblings
with kids, ages 1 and 3. Leaving my children at home for
the weekend is not an option. I haven't been to Las Vegas
in 3 years and I feel like with the casinos, the money and all
the smoke, it isn't a great place for young kids. As I recall,
you can't walk through a hotel in Vegas without going
through the casino. Has that changed? Or is there
somewhere to go in Las Vegas that doesn't revolve around
the casino culture? Thanks so much for your suggestions.
Not a High Roller
This summer we stayed at the Westin, which is just off the strip. It had a casino, but it was not huge and you could skirt around it to get to the elevators. The rooms were pretty big, and the staff was relatively kid friendly. A few years ago we stayed at the Hyatt Regency Lake Las Vegas. Lake Las Vegas is a new resort development about 20 minutes outside Vegas. The Hyatt's casino was in a room off the lobby, so it was easily avoidable. The Hyatt also had a great pool set up. There are also a few 'suite' hotels in Vegas including an Embassy Suites that I haven't stayed at, but think would be good places to stay with kids.
EVERYONE in Vegas smokes, so you're not going to avoid the smoke issue. (Coming from California it's always so shocking to see people smoking where people are eating! yuck!) But, it's not so bad in the kid-friendly places. I have found Vegas to be turning away from the family focus and back to their hedonistic focus, but there are still some fun things to do with kids. My kids love the shark exhibit at the Bellagio (?) and Siegfried and Roy's garden (at the Monte Carlo?). Both are really expensive, IMHO. They also could spend hours staring at the fish tank in the lobby of the Monte Carlo. CircusCircus, of course, is geared for kids with an arcade (games for kids of all ages) and a mini-amusement park.
Getting around Vegas can be a pain. The hotels are all too far from each other to really be within walking distance (especially if it's hot) and traffic is usually a nightmare. But parking is free and plentiful.
I have a conference in Las Vegas in mid-March and would like to spend an extra day in the region exploring the nearby desert. Does anyone have info. on places to go and stay in the desert and how long it takes to get there by car from LV? Ideally we'd like to do some hiking and check out the wildflowers. monika
I am taking my husband on a surprise bday trip to Vegas next month. I haven't been in a few years and I know much has changed. Anyone have any feelings about the Palms Hotel or the Venetian accomodations (booked both right now)? Would like to maybe see a show. Heard great things about both Cirque du Soleil shows, O & Mystere. Anyone seen either? Restaurant picks? Going for 1 1/2 days & 2 nights. Any info appreciated! nicole
My impression is that The Palms is trendy, full of twenty- somethings (it happens to be the location for MTV's Real World Las Vegas, which is a show about vapid 19-22 year old's living together for four months). The bars at The Palms (Ghost Bar and Skin) are described in the magazine as ''space-age, hedonistic.
The Venetian bar (V Bar) is described in the magazine as ''a refuge, a place where you can actually have a conversation.''
I personally love the restaurant called Picasso at The Bellagio. It is beautiful, and the food is superb. However, it is expensive. The magazine describes Light, Bellagio's bar/dance club, as having ''dark wood, candles and red velvet.''
If I were going to Vegas I would make reservations at Whiskey Sky, which is described as ''off The Strip, an elegant bar with an adjacent pooside lounge that overlooks the city.'' It is at The Green Valley Ranch and the phone number is 702-617-7777.
Hope you have fun! Alison
Can't give any advice on accomodations. Couple other good attractions to kill time...The Libirace Museum is pretty amazing (really! it doesn't get any tackier) and also enjoyed the Coca Cola museum even though it's a sad state of our world. Also, if the nights aren't too cold you have to see the Bellagio fountains show or two from the outside. Every half hour, they have lots of different songs. This is the best free show in Vegas for sure. The Bellagio also has lots of good and pricey restaurants.
Have fun! Jonathan
I'm looking for suggestions for places to stay this Friday night in Las Vegas with my wife and two toddlers. It is a one-night stopover - but at a reasonable cost, we would not mind exploring some of the fun for the whole family that is apparently
Las Vegas with kids. We did it when our kids were about 12 and 14 and they had a blast. We stayed at the Pyramid (Luxor) but most of the major hotels are connected so you can walk from one to another. The kids went to almost every arcade and they liked the Excaliber best. It was just such a kick to see the huge and varied hotels, each with a specific theme. We went to MGM Grand which is like a small version of Great America. The Stratosphere is very interesting and you can see for miles in all directions. The hotel pools are generally as theatrical as the rest of the settings. It is fun to view the volcano outside the Mirage and the pirates battle (Can't remember which one that was!) Prepare to do a LOT of walking. Have fun!
I went to Las Vegas in October for my brother's wedding with my three children - Arianna 8 yrs., Kyle 11 yrs. and Nick 16 yrs. It is VERY expensive with kids but lots to do. My kids loved the arcades in the Major hotels (MGM, New York New York, Excalibur, New Orleans) especially Circus Circus which has circus acts every 15- 30 mins. Games are from .50 to $3.00 per chance. They spent more on arcades than we lost gambling. Circus Circus also has an indoor amusement park that they enjoyed. We bought the all day passes and did everything over and over. My daughter rode her first roller coaster there and went on it at least 4 times, because they had no lines. We also rented a car and drove to Hoover Dam. They really liked our docent who showed my 11 year old how to make an electric water powered lamp science project after the tour. If you go to the Arizona side there is a snack shop down some stairs that sells stale popcorn to feed the fish. The fish were at least 2 feet long and they were very impressed (not my 16yr old, but the younger ones). We also hit the big roller coasters at New York New York $8 per person and the stratosphere had two rides(approx. $9-$13), a small coaster (not worth the $) and a drop zone type ride (very fun if you like that sort of thing, only my 11yr old was brave enough to ride it). The free shows like the pirate show at Treasure Island and the water show at Bellagio were also big hits. Bellagio had just opened that weekend and had a fabulous (better than Disneyland) fireworks show. I'm not sure if that is a reoccurring thing or was only for the opening. The highlight of the trip was going to the Hilton and watching Penn and Teller filming for their FX show(they film for 1 week a month.) They have comedians come out in between takes to entertain you. They did recommend it for 13 years and over because sometimes is can have sexual content and bad language. We weren't concerned because we knew the guests were the Smothers Brothers, the Enigma and the guy from the show "The Nanny" and had only 1 mild cuss word. My husband and I were even filmed and shown on TV. This is also free.
Because of the timing of out trip, the MGM amusement park was not open and I don't think they open until spring. There was so much other stuff to do that we couldn't have stood another amusement type park anyway.
My Cousin took her 9 year old daughter to a show that had imitation Spice girls, Elvis, etc. at the Stratosphere and she really enjoyed that. Again, it was at least $20 per person. It was also very windy and cold so the kids didn't get much pool time. My best advice: Hit all the free shows and bring lots of Money.
We went to Las Vegas last August with our 4 years old son. We stayed in Circus Circus and there were a lot of kids fun. There was a free Circus show every 30 minutes. There is a play facility called "Grand Canyon" in the hotel and many rides and games there. Every ride and game cost money, so you can buy the one day pass which gives you unlimited rides. That is what we did. I forgot the price for one day pass. There is also a facility in MGM which is more suitable for bigger children. I think you also can buy one day pass. Have wonderful time in Las Vegas.

Fighting Back the Years on Your Face with Vitamin E
From the ancient Greeks to modern day Italians, people have always known that certain things in nature have amazing benefits for our skin. Today it's no secret that Vitamin E is one of the keys to younger looking skin, especially on your face. You can find it naturally in foods like almonds and kiwi or processed in its pure form inside gel caps. There's no wrong way to use Vitamin E oil on your face. Simply apply and watch the magic slowly but steadily reverse the effects of aging and skin damage.
Vitamin E as an Antioxidant
The power of Vitamin E to heal our skin comes from its antioxidant properties. When ingested, the vitamin helps to repair damage from free radicals at the cellular level. When applied topically to our skin it works its way deep into the layers of the skin, boosting collagen production and improving the moisture and softness of skin. Many scientists believe Vitamin E is more effective as an antioxidant in its alcohol form than its acetate form, so you may want to check the label of skin care products for this information if you feel one way or the other.
Even when Vitamin E is taken orally it does wonders to protect and replenish our skin. But when applied directly to the face its anti-inflammatory antioxidant powers head straight to the source of the problem, fighting to repair damaged skin areas. Application to the face can improve moisturization, smooth out the skin and make it feel softer. Wrinkles become less noticeable and brown spots begin to fade. Vitamin E has even shown real promise offering photoprotection from harmful UV rays.
Vitamin E contains several natural compounds that all play slightly different roles in restoring and protecting the skin on your face. They are mainly various forms of tocopherol such as gamma, delta, beta and alpha tocopherols. These compounds are what work at the cellular level beneath your skin to rebuild and repair damage caused by the sun, smoking or pollution. It is also known to regulate the role of Vitamin A in your body, which is connected to healthy skin cells.
In addition to repairing damage to the skin on your face, the tocopherols in Vitamin E protect your skin from daily exposure to the elements such as UV rays from the sun. They also help your skin cells communicate more effectively, basically speeding up the process of repairing skin damage and increasing collagen production.
Benefits of Vitamin E in Facial Products
Nearly every skin care product for the face currently on the market contains some form of Vitamin E. It's widely acknowledged as the most important natural ingredient to reduce wrinkles on the face and improve skin tone. It's not cheap to extract, however, which is why quality skin care products often carry hefty price tags. But considering the physical benefits it offers, there are few investments in your health that give better value. When it comes to skin creams for your face, this is one department you never want to cut corners or skimp.
The roles Vitamin E typically play in beauty products for facial care include acting as a gentle cleansing agent and preventing water loss thus providing moisture to the skin. It also is great at reducing age spots, stretch marks and wrinkles. It's truly a multipurpose skin care product and should be a central component to everyone's skin care regime whether you're a man or a woman.
Sun Protection
Recent studies have shown that Vitamin E oil for the face is effective at providing added protection from the sun as well as curing sunburns. If you have sensitive skin on your face, look for a sunscreen that contains Vitamin E and other natural ingredients because the use of sunscreen or facial lotion with some level of SPF is essential to slowing down the signs of aging and skin abuse caused by everyday exposure to the sun's harmful rays.
Even if your sunscreen doesn't contain Vitamin E, you can always apply a regular skin lotion with the vitamin about 20 minutes before putting on your sunscreen. It will work in conjunction with the sunscreen to boost the protection level from UV rays. Because of the known moisturizing benefits of Vitamin E oil, it is a very useful component in lip balm and even cosmetic lipstick. It makes an ideal complement to sunscreen for protecting your face and lips.
One area where the experts are still undecided is the effectiveness of Vitamin E oil to reduce visible scars. Some believe that the vitamin can actually make scars look deeper, while others feel there's no noticeable change since the skin damage is so severe on the surface. So be sure and consult with an expert before considering Vitamin E to deal with facial scarring.

From now on, I will be posting regular blogs featuring our papers that we love the most. I thought that it would be appropriate, for the first post, to feature the paper that I use in my own artwork.
Seichosen Kozo (Long) 25.5″ x 70.5″
Seichosen Kozo is made from 100% Japanese Kozo. The fibre is soaked & sun-bleached in pools of water created in a stream outside the papermaking studio. The kozo is then cooked in slaked lime which makes a softer, less shiny paper than fibre cooked in wood ash or soda ash. The sheets are formed on reed screens (rather than the usual bamboo) and are dried in the open air on wooden boards.
All of this is still carried out by the three generations of the Ozaki family in their mountain home in Kochi. Kochi has long been known for rice cultivation and the farmers would make paper for their livelihood during the winter months. The Ozaki's are the last of these paper makers. (information courtesy of The Japanese Paper Place and Hiromi Paper International.)
The photo above is of the most recent mountain of hand-dyed papers in my studio. I am preparing for my next piece in a new series. After dyeing I treat each piece with konnyaku and then meticulously cut into 1.5″ squares.
Two pieces from my last series were just hung in the store today! If you are passing by on Queen Street come in for a peak to see these in person.

Estate executors in Oklahoma have been granted control over a dead person's social media accounts according to a new law that went into effect Nov. 1.
Although the legislation conflicts with most social media users agreements by assuming the accounts to be the property of the creator, rather than belonging to the social media networks, such as Facebook, former state Rep. Ryan Kiesel believes the action will prompt people to consider the fate of these profiles after they die, reports KOCO News in Oklahoma City.

I. Introduction
Our choice of country is Thailand. In this report you will find all the research we have conducted on Thailand, with the focus on ''Kathoey'', also known as 'Ladyboys'. Our goal in this report is to find out how far the 'Kathoey' micro culture differs from the Thai culture, using Hofstede's five dimensions and theories.
The reason why we have chosen Thailand and 'Kathoey' is because there is a lot of information circling around the Web and libraries. Before we came to this subject we discussed the country El Salvador, but soon we realized that there was too little knowledge from our side and too little information to be found to actually make a sufficient report. Therefore, we decided to discard the idea.
Nowadays the 'Kathoey' are getting more and more acknowledgement in the world. In 1996, a volleyball team composed mostly of gays...

NOAA to Collect Baseline Environmental Data in Alaska's Chukchi Sea
NOAA's National Status and Trends (NS&T) BioEffects Program and the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) are conducting a baseline environmental assessment along a 150 mile length of the nearshore area of the Chukchi Sea. This body of water is in a sub-region of the Arctic being actively sought for leasing and has a high likelihood for oil and gas development activities in the near future. The 2-week research cruise, led by Alaska's DEC in partnership with NOAA, began September 4th, in Barrow, AK and ended at Wainwright, AK September 18. The survey area extended from Pt. Barrow to Pt. Lay. It includes assessment of benthic communities, demersal fish, sediment chemistry, and water quality assessment within the nearshore area of the Alaska coast. This area is not currently being assessed by BOEMRE under the current lease sale area #193, which is offshore from the study area. This study (results available within 1 year) will supplement existing information in generating baseline data to help define the intricate interplay of oil exploration, climate change, ocean acidification and pollution on the ecosystem of the Chukchi Sea.

Great Lakes Restoration Initiative – NOAA Mussel Watch Program Expands into EPA Designated "Areas of Concern."
NOAA's National Status and Trends Mussel Watch Program, and the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory, completed the second phase of mussel and sediment collections from Lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, and St. Clair, and the Detroit, St. Clair and St Mary's Rivers in September. Two teams and two boats traveled a combined distance of nearly 5,000 miles over 14 days to collect the samples from over 40 sites. New sites were established in 18 Areas of Concern (AOCs) that were designated by the Environmental Protection Agency in known pollution "hot spots." The EPA was aware of the Mussel Watch sampling being done in the region and leveraged both agencies resources by funding the additional sampling from the teams already on site. Samples will be analyzed for chemical contamination, toxicity and benthic taxonomy, and results will be used to assess pre and post remediation conditions. Funding for this effort is provided through EPA Region 5. For more information visit the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative web site and NOAA's Enhanced Mussel Watch site effort or contact Ed Johnson, email@example.com (301-713-3028).

Collaborative sampling effort for characterization of contamination and disease in fish and shellfish species used for subsistence food by native Alaskan communities completed
Center for Coastal Monitoring and Assessment (CCMA) researchers recently completed the field sampling component of a seafood health and contaminant characterization in Kachemak Bay, Alaska to evaluate contamination levels and associated biological effects. The study will assess contaminant body burdens and the health and condition of shellfish and salmon in Kachemak Bay Alaska. This effort will provide reliable chemistry and histopathology data and information for local resource managers and Native Alaskans regarding shellfish use and management needs. The project included partners from NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service Northwest Fishery Science Center, the Chugach Regional Resources Commission, the Alutiiq Pride Shellfish Hatchery, and local Native villages and fishing co-ops.

Groundbreaking Mussel Watch Pilot in California Receives National Media Attention
Scientists from the Center for Coastal Monitoring and Assessment (CCMA) and collaborators from the state of California are, for the first time, analyzing mussels collected from 80 sites state-wide for "emerging contaminants of concern." Foremost among these contaminants are a group of chemicals known as polybrominated diphenyl ethers, or PBDEs. Used as a flame retardants in a wide variety of products, they have been found all around the U.S. coast, and in rivers and lakes as well. A recent report by CCMA presented the extent of PBDE contamination across the U.S. (Click here for a ink to the report). The researchers are also analyzing for, amongst others, pharmaceuticals and anti-bacterial agents used in hand sanitizers. They will be analyzing not only for the extent of contamination but reporting on areas of the country where the highest levels have been found. The researchers hope to use the information gained from these analyses to determine which of these contaminants needs to be further studied to determine contaminant levels in higher living creatures and other effects. The Mussel Watch Program has, since 1986, been sampling mussels and oysters from locations along the U.S. coast for a variety of metals, pesticides, and other organic contaminants. The Associated Press profiled this pilot project in an article on December 29, 2009. It was subsequently picked up by dozens of media outlets nationwide, including the New York Times, the Huffington Post, the San Francisco Chronicle, and ABC news.

Bioeffects Assessment Quantifies Extent of Sediment Contamination, Toxicity, and Natural Stressors in Kachemak Bay
The National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science have released a report that provides chemical contaminant, toxicity, and benthic organism information useful for management planning efforts and understanding the ecosystem of Kachemak Bay, Alaska. Although the main portion of Kachemak Bay was relatively uncontaminated, elevated contaminant levels were found locally in Homer Harbor and Port Graham. The elevated levels found in Port Graham are an important find as residents use the surrounding ecosystem as a source of subsistence foods. Also, glacial meltwater is a major stressor to the system which has implications relative to global warming. Partners included the Cook Inlet Regional Citizens Advisory Council, North Pacific Research Board, and Native Alaskan organizations. The report, "Sediment Quality Triad Assessment in Kachemak Bay: Characterization of Soft Bottom Benthic Habitats and Contaminant Bioeffects Assessment", can be found online at: http://ccma.nos.noaa.gov/stressors/pollution/nsandt/kbay_bioeffects/.

Experimental Harmful Algal Bloom Forecast May Reduce Impacts to Residents
A recent series of experimental harmful algal bloom forecasts alerted resource managers in the Great Lakes to a Microcystis spp. (also referred to as "blue-green algae")bloom in the region, allowing them to take preemptive measures to reduce impacts. Since July 30, 2009, the National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS), in collaboration with the NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory, have released a weekly forecast for western Lake Erie to local health officials, water treatment managers, natural resource managers, and several research scientists in the area. As a result, increased filtration of drinking water in the area may be undertaken to lessen taste and odor issues associated with previous blooms, and waterfront recreational areas may have warnings posted. Microcystis spp. often forms dense blooms that can discolor the water, cause taste and odor issues in drinking water, and can negatively affect humans and animals through their potential to produce hepatotoxins (liver-damaging toxins).

Study Evaluates Agricultural Best Management Practices in Jobos Bay, Puerto Rico
Scientists from the National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) recently completed a field mission designed to help determine the impacts of agricultural pollution on corals near the Jobos Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve. Working in collaboration with the Reserve and the Puerto Rico Department of Natural and Environmental Resources, scientists sampled 16 sites for coral tissues, which will be analyzed for a suite of contaminants including major and trace elements (including heavy metals), selected pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (better known as PCBs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs or flame retardants). This field work is a component of a larger cooperative project with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Geological Survey and Puerto Rico's Department of Natural and Environmental Resources to assess the effectiveness of agricultural best management practices in the watershed.

National Report Provides Insight for Management of U.S. Coastal Ocean Waters
Scientists from the National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) contributed heavily to the National Coastal Condition Report (NCCR) III, an interagency report authored by NOAA, the Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the U.S. Geological Survey. The NCCR, released in December 2008, characterizes the condition of U.S. coastal waters based on indices for water quality, sediment quality, coastal habitat, benthos, and fish tissue contaminants. Overall, the conditions were "Fair," and have improved slightly since the first NCCR was published in 2001. NCCOS also contributed an integrated assessment of the human uses of Narragansett Bay (Chapter 9 of the report). For more information, see http://www.epa.gov/owow/oceans/nccr3/downloads.html, or contact Dave Whitall at (301) 713-3028 x138 or email@example.com.

NOS Offices Reward Scientist for Laudatory Collaboration Efforts
Shelly Tomlinson from the National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science received the 2008 NOS Peer Recognition "Rafting" Award. She was singled out for her work with IOOS and other offices working together on NOS's Harmful Algal Bloom Forecast System (HAB-FS), a highly collaborative cross-cutting program effort. The purpose of the system is to provide an advanced warning of HAB events to coastal managers and the public. As lead analyst for the western Gulf of Mexico HAB-FS system, Shelly uses software developed by CSC explicitly for the HAB-FS to analyze data and model output to provide now- and forecasts to coastal managers responsible for both public and ecosystem health. She was also praised for contributing to IOOS's data integration framework, and contributing to the addition of currents data into that framework, among other things. Shelly received her award at the NOS Employee Recognition Ceremony in Silver Spring on December 9, 2008. For more information, contact Shelly Tomlinson at (301) 713-3028 x225 or email@example.com.

Meeting connects Maryland water quality experts and Asian partners to minimize water quality problems in Asia
A scientist from the National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science was an invited guest at the October 23 meeting of the Maryland–Asia Environmental Partnership meeting (http://www.mdaep.com) "A Public-Private dialogue: Galvanizing Maryland Resources to meet water management and technology needs in Asia." The conference focused on connecting expertise from Maryland-based university research labs, state, national, and multilateral government agencies, and the business supply chain, to build partnerships to do business in Asia. The intent of these connections is to try to reverse or lessen the dire predictions by United Nations experts that Asian developing countries will soon face a water quality management crisis unprecedented in human history. The meeting provided unique Maryland perspectives on applicable lessons-learned in water management, new technologies and financial resources, and sustainability efforts which could be mobilized to help address Asia's water management and technology needs.

CCMA's Mussel Watch Program at Risk after Completing 23rd Year of Monitoring the Nation's Coasts
Scientists from the National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science's Center for Coastal Monitoring and Assessment completed the 23rd year of sampling of U.S. coasts with this year's completion of sampling zebra mussels in the Great Lakes this September. National sampling was made possible because of the collaboration of such groups as the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory, the Southern California Coastal Water Resources Project, the State of California Water Resources Control Board, and the U.S. Coast Guard. Data from the Mussel Watch Program were recently made available to NOAA's Office of Response and Restoration to help define contaminant concentrations in Texas and Louisiana prior to the landfall of Hurricanes Ike and Gustav. The budget outlook for this Program is not good, and Mussel Watch will be terminated in mid-2009. Mussel Watch data represent a nationally relevant time series of ambient contaminant conditions. It is the national "gold standard" for determining baseline conditions so that the effects of oil spills and natural and manmade disasters can be assessed. Once a time series of this breadth and duration is terminated it will likely never be replicated, and the nation will have lost a critical capability to assess the status and trends of contamination of our estuarine and coastal waters.

Meeting Analyzes Models to Help Irish Aquaculture Farmers Maximize Profitability and Minimize Water Quality Damage
A scientist from the Center for Coastal Monitoring and Assessment participated in the final meeting of the UISCE (Gaelic for fish, Understanding Irish Shellfish Culture Environments) project that combines models of hydrology, shellfish growth, and the Assessment of Estuarine Trophic Status (ASSETS) eutrophication model to look at sustainability and maximization of yields and profitability for aquaculture in Irish Seas, while minimizing water quality impacts. The work is supported by the BIM (Bord Iascaigh Mhara, Irish Sea Fisheries Board; www.bim.ie; www.bim2b.com) and was conducted by a team that includes European and American partners. The meeting was held in Westport, Co. Mayo, on September 24-25, 2008. The report will be available in December 2008, and peer reviewed publications as well as online-accessible tools for aquaculture farmers will be available in the near future. For more information, contact Suzanne Bricker at (301) 713-3020 x139 or email@example.com.
NCCOS Represented on Interagency Testing Committee
A National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science researcher is currently serving as Vice-Chair of EPA's Interagency Testing (ITC) Committee. The ITC includes 16 federal member agencies and was established under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to identify chemicals regulated by TSCA for which there are suspicions of toxicity or exposure and little, if any, data on ecological effects, environmental fate, or health effects testing. The ITC adds the chemicals identified to the Priority Testing List and recommends them to the Administrator of EPA for testing or information reporting. The availability of fate and effects data for chemicals is critical to assessing possible environmental impacts. For additional information, contact Tony Pait at (301) 713-3028 or email@example.com.

You remember Moktar Belmoktar? (Spelled Mokhtar Belmokhar in some circles.) He's been called Mr. Marlboro by some folks. Or the Prince, or even Laaouar, the One-Eyed. Intel professionals called him Uncatchable. I call him dead.
4 thoughts on "Moktar Belmoktar Killed"
Another one bites the dust….I'm not sorry….k
I will celebrate by putting the kettle on to boil for a splendid pot of 'char'… I will even push out the boat some what and crack open a packet of milk chocolate digestives.
No doubt his replacement has already been sworn in and a fresh order of vestal virgins have been ordered.
Yours Aye.
When do they run out of virgins?? Just asking…k

The New Mexico State University Aggie baseball team (35-22) was selected as one of 34 at-large bids to participate in the 2012 NCAA Tournament.
The Aggies are going into the Tucson Regional as a No. 2 seed. The regional will be hosted by the University of Arizona.
The Aggies are scheduled to face No. 3 seed Louisville Friday at Hi Corbett Field in Tucson, Ariz. First pitch is set for 5 p.m.
Also in the double-elimination regional is fourth-seeded Missouri, which will meet top-seeded Arizona Friday night. The winners and losers of each game will play Saturday.
The Aggies (35-22) looked like they might be the team to beat heading into the WAC tournament last week, boasting the No. 1 seed, but dropped two straight tournament games, to Fresno State and Louisiana Tech. The loss to Louisiana Tech, a team the Aggies topped three times in WAC play, earned a 15-12 win in a tournament elimination game.
During the regular season, the Aggies had one of the toughest schedules in the nation, playing seven teams that have made it into this year's NCAA playoffs. Those teams include Rice, Sacred Heart, New Mexico, Kent State, Arizona, Baylor and Fresno State.
NMSU finished 12-10 against those teams as it took a two-game series from Arizona — then No. 5 nationally — and swept Sacred Heart in a four-game series.

Feds will review earlier case against child murder suspect
Reporter: Craig Smith
Web Producer: Ina Ronquillo
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - A 9 On Your Side Investigation asked why Federal prosecutors failed to pursue murder charges that against a man who ended up charged with another murder---this one of a seven year old boy.
Now it seems Federal prosecutors are asking the same questions too.
Alvin Valenzuela is charged with a sad, shocking crime killing seven year old Johnathan Federico.
KGUN9 News discovered Valenzuela had been involved in a double killing almost five years before the boy died but Valenzuela only served a relatively short time in jail.
Now Federal prosecutors will take a fresh look at that earlier case.
In 2007 Valenzuela was involved in a double murder on the Tohono O'odham Nation.
Aggravated assault was the toughest charge tribal prosecutors could pursue. Valenzuela pleaded guilty to that and enough other charges to put him away for about three years.
Tribal prosecutors are required to send more serious cases to Federal prosecutors.
Tribal prosecutors expected the US Attorney's office to push tougher charges against Valenzuela but that never happened.
Court documents about a teenager who did get a murder rap in the case indicated there wasn't enough evidence against Valenzuela.
Now a spokesman for the US Attorney's office says that old case is, "under review" to examine how the prosecutor handled the case.
The office won't elaborate or comment on the potential for stiffer charges, but former Federal prosecutor Sean Chapman says reasons to re-examine the case could include new evidence, or the feeling tribal prosecutors didn't do all they could.
Reporter Craig Smith asked Chapman: "Is is possible it could be as simple as, this man gets out of jail, gets charged with a very shocking, high profile crime and that prompts them to go back and look at this previous case?"
Chapman:"It could be as simple as that. I think we'd be speculating a little bit. If they view this individual as a very dangerous person, that may change their attitude and perspective on whether that original case should or should not have been prosecuted by their office."
Sources formerly in Tohono O'odham law enforcement say they did do all they could and expected Federal prosecutors to push the case aggressively. Maybe this review will shed more light on why that didn't happen.

Accused car thieves get bail extension
Christopher Thomas, STAR Writer
Two St James men accused of stealing another man's car for scrap parts last year, had their bails extended in the Montego Bay Resident Magistrate's Court last Thursday.
Adrian Woodstock from Tangle River and truck driver Garnet Hines, from Flamstead Gardens, are charged with larceny of a motor vehicle. They are to return to court on February 20.
Allegations are that on September 10, 2013, the complainant parked his white Toyota Corolla at the Cornwall Regional Hospital in Montego Bay, and on his return 45 minutes after, it was missing. A report was made to the Mount Salem police.
The following day, acting on information, the police went to Tucker, Irwin, and saw Woodstock and Hines scrapping the stolen vehicle. The men ran but were subsequently held.
Clerk of the court Natalie Malcolm told presiding magistrate Wilson Smith that the police's chain-of-custody statement, concerning the forensic certificate, was still outstanding.
"We'll mention this case on February 20," said Smith, before extending the two defendants' bail.

The hospital is proposing to increase its floor area by 1.3 million square feet, its staff by 23 percent, and its parking by about 2,000 spaces, said Steven Turner, an advance planning manager with the city of Palo Alto.
The expected completion date is 2025, with the main and children's hospital portions to be built first, perhaps by 2015, Mr. Turner said.
Stanford is requesting that Palo Alto approve a special hospital zone, thereby allowing buildings to exceed the city's structural height limit of 50 feet, Mr. Turner said. Four of the 10 proposed new buildings could reach 130 feet.
Aside from the visual impact from Sand Hill Road, a primary issue in is traffic, according to letters from Portola Valley, Menlo Park and the San Mateo County Planning Department.
The public-comment period for the draft EIR expired on July 27. The city of Palo Alto, not the hospital, is responsible for addressing all comments and will do so in the final EIR, Mr. Turner said.
Officials based in San Mateo County peppered their letters with complaints.
• Menlo Park Mayor Rich Cline noted that in the draft EIR, construction workers would be prevented from leaving the work site during the heart of the evening commute, between 4:30 and 6 p.m., but appear to have no restrictions on morning arrival times.
• The draft EIR's proposal to reset traffic-lights in Menlo Park to account for new construction traffic characterized this adjustment as mitigation, but that is incorrect, Mr. Cline said, because the lights are already set up that way. And, he added, there is no mention of payment to Menlo Park for the impacts of heavy trucks on city streets.
• The draft EIR uses pricing formulas other than Menlo Park's to estimate costs to improve Menlo Park intersections and to build a bike tunnel under El Camino Real at Middle Avenue, Mr. Cline said. The county Planning Department has similar complaints with respect to traffic-congestion formulas.
• The draft EIR does not consider housing for the hospital's new employees on hospital land, Mr. Cline said. Because Menlo Park is geographically nearer to the hospital than many Palo Alto neighborhoods, Stanford needs to consider how its new facilities would affect single- and multi-family housing availability and home prices in Menlo Park west of El Camino Real, he said.
• Portola Valley Mayor Steve Toben and San Mateo County Community Development Director Jim Eggemeyer both noted that adding another right-turn lane from Santa Cruz Avenue on to eastbound Sand Hill Road should not be called "infeasible" if it's just a matter of money. (Menlo Park and the county share jurisdiction of the intersection.)
• Mr. Toben recommended the reinstatement of a pass-through right-hand turn lane that used to funnel westbound vehicles from Santa Cruz Avenue on to Alpine Road at the intersection with Junipero Serra Boulevard. The pass-through lane was eliminated in the 2006 reconstruction of the intersection.
• Mr. Eggemeyer claimed that, while the draft EIR analyzed the project's impact on intersections along Sand Hill Road and El Camino Real, the same was not done for intersections on Alameda de las Pulgas and Middlefield and Marsh roads.
• The draft EIR claims that new bicycle tunnels in Menlo Park and Palo Alto, and support for a Menlo Park shuttle bus fund, would reduce traffic on Alpine Road by 375 trips per day. Mr. Eggemeyer would like to see this claim justified.
