Division of Rheumatology, Allergy Clinical Immunology
The mission of the Division of Rheumatology, Allergy and Clinical Immunology is better care for our patients. We provide expertise in the fields of immunology, including rheumatic disease, environmental illness, hypersensitivity and autoimmunity. We interact with physicians in a variety of specialties in order to best diagnose and care for patients with severe and often difficult problems. Our goal is to help each and every patient from pediatrics through geriatrics independent of their economic means, distance from our clinic, or severity of their illness.
Patient Care
Our physicians provide consultations for physicians throughout California regarding the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of rheumatic disorders and autoimmune diseases. We also see patients who come from as far away as Europe, Japan and South America. The division features special-emphasis panels in rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus. In addition, we offer a clinical program to address allergies, including special treatments for food allergies and food hypersensitivity. State-of-the-art therapy for patients with serious and chronic asthma includes a self-care component involving environmental education, food, nutrition and pharmacotherapy. One clinic is dedicated to evaluation, therapy and rehabilitation of the unique problems faced by musicians such as overuse syndromes and tendonitis.
Since 1974, the division has received funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). We have led the country by organizing national and state committees to develop cutting-edge research. Our researchers initiated efforts in California to improve understanding and treatment of food allergies and introduced the first oral vaccine for an autoimmune disease. We have pioneered efforts to find cures for patients harmed by their own immune system by investigating responses to food allergens, immunologic mediated liver disease and asthma. Our scientists have developed a notable alternative and complementary medicine program, especially related to asthma. The division actively tests the use of new drugs for patients with serious intractable arthritis. Clinical research also includes the prevention and treatment of overuse syndromes and the role of autoimmunity in rheumatoid arthritis.
Visit the UC Davis Immunology Lab Web site for an in-depth look at the research being done.
Making People Feel Better
The division consists of a unique, versatile multidisciplinary team of rheumatolo-gists, immunologists and allergists dedicated to improving the immune system. We know what it means to suffer from chronic disease, and we want our patients to feel our devotion and thoroughness. The division has new research grants from the NIH totaling more than $2.5 million allocated to finding better treatments. We will use technology to make the important discoveries of this new century and bridge the gaps in our health care system. Our goal is to help people help themselves, start living and stop suffering. If we do not have the answers, we will find them for our patients.

The wildebeest migration isn't all about river crossings...One of our favourite times is late May when the herds - in their hundreds of thousands - begin to move off the southern plains on their long journey north. After a period of plenty, spent happily grazing on the mineral-rich grasses of the southern Serengeti the wildebeest "chaps" are feeling a little bit frisky and are ready for action.
Expect cavorting, showmanship, standoffs, the odd head to head tussle and long, long lines of wildebeest, looking purposeful, but heading in totally different directions. Also, at this time of year, you can expect not to see too many other tourists…which we really like.
Vanessa's 16 years in travel has seen her knowledge develop from sub-Saharan Africa into North Africa, Central and Southern America and the Galapagos. Consequently, she's a veritable encyclopaedia of travel information and exceptionally cool, calm and collected in the face of the greatest planning demands.

Bespoke GunsThe Art of Gunmaking
The Holland & Holland Way
Embracing technology, whilst maintaining traditional craftsmanship is the key to creating the perfect bespoke shotgun or rifle.
Our guns are all made in our factory in London, designed and built specifically for the purpose of gunmaking and housing a workforce of over 30 highly skilled crafts people
Holland and Holland
The BarrelsPerfectly Sculpted
How they are made
Barrels start life as two lengths of steel which are then taken on a painstaking journey of being drilled, turned, reamed, joined and finished to be items of great strength and true beauty.
Hundreds of hours alone go into the process of fashioning a perfect pair of barrels that are on all of our bespoke shotguns and rifles.

Holland and Holland
The StockFinely Carved Walnut
How they are made
Our stocks are made from specially selected Turkish walnut. The stock needs to be extremely dense, generally coming from trees of great maturity and character.
Once the perfect piece has been selected, we carve, chisel and sand until you are left with the most smooth and luxurious finish which is perfectly fitted to the gun's future owner.Watch the video
Holland and Holland
The ActionFinely tuned
How they are made
Essential to firing a shotgun or rifle, Holland & Holland actions are intricately tested and tweaked to create a perfect mechanism that ensures of safety but also creates minimal stress on all components of the gun to ensure the longevity for generations of owners.
Nothing compares to a Holland & Holland Action.Watch the video

EngravingThe Fine Details
How it's done
Engraving enhances the aesthetic of a shotgun or rifle. Whether you opt for classic game scenes, the iconic Holland & Holland acanthus scroll or something completely personal, our engravers will spend weeks and months delicately working the design into all elements of the final piece.Watch the video

FinishingThe final touches
How it's done
Before your gun is ready to leave the factory, the final finishing touches are required. The stocks are chequered and the last layers of oil are applied and buffed. The engraving is lacquered and every component receives its final clean and polish prior to the final gun being built and packaged.Watch the video

Not My Life fillmmaker Bob Bilheimer talks to boys who have been forced to work 100 hours a week.
- Filed Under
We all want films that entertain us and move us. But once in a while, we need films that do both of those things, but go beyond by generating great empathy within us, and perhaps even stirring us to action. That's why a weeklong film presentation, starting Friday at the Little Theatre is so worthwhile.
Robert Bilheimer, a veteran documentarian from Bristol, has been making films of great passion and social conscience for decades, going back to the 1988 Oscar-nominated anti-apartheid film, The Cry of Reason, and continuing with A Closer Walk, 2003's powerful film on the global AIDS pandemic.

A job fair in Shanghai. (Photo/Xinhua)
China's former president Hu Jintao may have held to his scientific development concept, but try telling that to the nation's employers. In a year which saw more students graduate from China's universities than ever before, young people entering the workforce are finding to their dismay that prospective bosses are asking them to submit personal details that suggest they are hiring based on astrology, superstitions associated with their blood type, or whether they simply like or dislike someone's face, according to the website of the state-run China News Service.
Though many in China believe one's star sign can reflect personality traits and habits to some extent, some companies have placed a ban on the controversial practice of hiring or rejecting candidates on this basis.
Other enterprises have simply become more subtle about the discrimination, taking their cues about a candidate's suitability from their facial features and their precise time of birth. According to the report, executives are checking to see whether the look of a prospective employees is "in conflict" with their own. Times of birth come into play in traditional Chinese astrological calculations for predicting the future and choosing the most auspicious days that offer a higher chance of success. Using this method, an employee's birthday could be at odds with a company's profit outlook.
Less capable job seekers may on the other hand be glad, since they could land a job offer because their face is "helpful to the company's business prospects," according to the report.
A preference for certain blood types, a form of pseudoscience particularly popular in Japan, can be another determinant in the profile of a person's character. People with blood type A may be favored as they are believed to be serious and meticulous workers. Those with types O or AB are often turned down, as they are deemed to be quick-tempered and selfish, respectively.
One's surname can also apparently be good or bad news, hence the preference for people surnamed Jin (meaning gold) and an aversion to people surnamed Pei (a homonym for suffering a loss in the monetary sense), according to the report.
Superstitious employers are still undecided over whether to add the length and size of a person's nose to the hiring process, as this is traditionally a determining characteristic of wealth. The value of work experience, educational background and skill set meanwhile can take a back seat.

Off the Press
March 20, 2012
By David Hayes
Grilling season comes sooner every year
Like Valentine's Day, I can't seem to go along with just getting along when it comes to artificial contrivances. Barbecue season seems to be one of those occasions.
For starters, Old Man Winter hasn't even released his cold grip on the frigid weather around here and my wife is already planning her first pug meetup group's themed get-together — a Southern barbecue.
I suppose a true grill master would tell me he barbecues year 'round, rain or shine, snow or hail, fish or pork, the charcoal stays fired up. Well, I'm also a fair-weather golfer, so my grilling tools, like my golf clubs, get put up for the winter, to be dusted off come late spring.
However, just like the inability to resist the urge to exploit any holiday, my stroll through Target the other day led me through an already fully stocked barbecuing section with the latest and greatest gadgets. This made me realize I did need a new grill scraper and wonder if I need a foot-wide flipper in case I choose to grill fish.
But what has me worried about the impending party for pugs (and their owners) is the star of the show, the brisket. As any good grill captain knows, a hunk of meat as big as brisket must be cooked low and slow.
I'm a veteran of many home barbecues, but mostly steaks and burgers, which are cooked hot and fast.
Not so with brisket. I'll have to be out in the backyard at the crack of dawn, soakin' hickory wood chips and throwing them on top of separated stacks of coal to create an impromptu smoker (we just don't have room on our back porch for both a smoker and a griller).
With the party still four months away, I just know, short of breaking news in Issaquah, I'll be conducting a trial run on the brisket on Memorial Day itself so come time for the real thing, it'll be perfect for paying guests (my wife doesn't throw free parties for her meetup group, duh).
There are many styles of brisket to choose from, depending on which region of the country we choose to represent at the party. If we pick Texas, it has four distinct regions of its own where the meat is either cooked with a rub, a thin or thick sauce, or over oak or mesquite. The Kansas City region slow cooks over a variety of wood and covers the meat in a thick tomato-and-molasses-based sauce. And South Carolina, well, it's all about the pork, not brisket. (One could argue California is renowned for its barbecued tri-tip, but apparently them's fightin' words in the rest of the country).
Regardless of the recipe we choose (because the Pacific Northwest is only known for barbecued salmon, and that's not on the menu) and even if I perfect said recipe before the big shindig, therein lies the biggest problem I have with being the go-to griller. Regardless the get-together, I get the unheralded task of grill master, slaving away over the hot smoke while the party plows along without me. Somehow, I've even tended the coals at other people's parties by some cosmic default, as though I have no choice but to gravitate toward the heavenly body that is the griller.
But being an apparent glutton for punishment, while searching for a brisket recipe, I now can't seem to wait to try several I stumbled across that had my taste buds salivating.
So, like the old saying, "A happy sailor ain't happy unless he's complaining," I guess a master griller is happiest when he's whining the most about all the smoke.
Happy grilling.

The desire to travel has no correlation with positive impressions despite the travel industry's ardent efforts to convince us otherwise. I'm often moved to action by emotional responses that would have the experts gnashing their teeth (in which I happen to take a bit of pride).
National Geographic ran "The Emptied Prairie" in January 2008. From the title down, there was nothing on pages 140 - 157 that remotely resembled the enticingly glossed travel magazines in the same row of offerings that day in the book store. I could have been transported to any number of magical destinations, delivered there by the heady claims of paradise and rejuvenation, discovery and adventure. Instead, I plucked the mundane. The Emptied Prairie left me morose. And hell-bent to see North Dakota exactly as Nat Geo had depicted it - gray, cold, forlorn.
Our backgrounds dictate how we receive input and mine told me there was a "spin" on this story. I too live in a prairie state. Signs of human migration wrought from disappointment dot the landscape here as well. My hometown of Soper, Oklahoma has a population of 300; the High School serves 85 students. The town is in the most impoverished county in the state. On a gray, rainy day it too appears to be on its last leg and a sense of melancholy and abandonment strikes the bone.

The launch of construction for Jefferson Community Colleges first residence hall was seen by administrators as the start of a new era for its students.
Carole A. McCoy, the colleges president, said the presence of student residents will increase interest in on-campus activities and academics and improve their graduation prospects.
In the end, thats what we want; we want students who are successful, and this is a big piece in helping them do that, she said.
The college held a ground- breaking ceremony on campus Thursday afternoon that drew about 100 attendees. To account for the rainy weather, speeches to mark the occasion were done indoors, before attendees moved outside for the ground breaking.
Work on the $17 million project will begin this summer, and when completed, the residence hall will have 298 beds. The building is expected to be complete in time for use in the fall 2014 semester.
The 98,000-square-foot building will include a range of three- to six-person suites along with common study lounges, a computer lab and meeting room, along with a cafe.
The project has been in the works for about the past five years, after facing setbacks due to financial limitations at the state and federal level.
@$ID/[No paragraph style]:Projects like this have their right time, Mrs. McCoy said. She noted that the move to add residence halls to community college campuses has been in the works for about the past ten years.
This is the right thing now, she said.
About half of SUNYs 33 community colleges offer or are in the process of creating residence halls for their students, a release from the college said.
The building will be owned and operated by the Faculty Student Association Auxiliary LLC. The association boards president, Jack N. Donato, said the residence hall would make the college a 24-7 campus.
Its going to broaden opportunities for all students, he said.
Julie R. Schindler, student government association president, said the residence made sense given the size of the county and the limited transportation resources some students have.
I think its going to change how students view coming here, she said.
Remembering her first time in college, Ms. Schindler, who is working on her second associate degree in mathematics, said living in a residence hall was a fantastic experience for kids to have.
Among the companies involved in the development of the building are Purcell Construction Corp., Watertown, Mach Architecture and Engineering, P.C., Williamsville, Bernier, Carr and Associates, Watertown, and Beardsley Design Associates, Auburn.

PhysOrg: "Mystery of the flatfish head solved" Migrating flatfish eye expected to flummox creationists.
Flatfish—those odd-looking fish like flounder that have both eyes on the same side of their heads—have long been an evolutionary puzzle. Their sudden appearance in the fossil record without any sort of foregoing transitional forms has puzzled evolutionists. A few years ago, Oxford paleontologist Matthew Friedman published his study of Heteronectes, a fossil from Lower Eocene rock in Italy, conventionally dated at about 50 million years, as well as a similar fossilized extinct fish called Amphistium. He concluded that because one eye's orbit was at or close to the top of the fish's head in these fossils, they were transitional forms.
Transitional forms may be thought of as the "holy grail" of evolutionists, for if all kinds of organisms evolved from other kinds of organisms, then transitional forms in which features were gradually changing into distinctly different features should be abundant in the fossil record (e.g., the scale of a reptile becoming the feather of a bird). They are not, however. Friedman mentions the notable lack of transitional forms among spiny-finned fish, for example, when he writes, "Within acanthomorphs, our inability to tackle questions related to the sequence of changes underlying the assembly of specialized features or bodyplans in the absence of fossil data is not limited to this flatfish example."1
The left and right sides of Heteronectes's head, showing the orbit on the right side to be in the middle, but the eye on the left profile view is deviated, upward, near the top of the head. We can well imagine this variety of flatfish propped slightly on one fin like modern flatfish, able to keep an eye on a wide range of happenings. (Credit: Image by M. Friedman, obtained through phys.org/news/2012-06-mystery-flatfish.html)
Below the X-ray of Heteronectes are before-and-after photos of the fossil, showing the improvement in visible detail after the acid-transfer procedure. Study of these details confirms the fish has skeletal characteristics typically found in flatfish, with the supposedly "incomplete orbital migration"2 of the eye being the primary distinction. However, the variation of eye position represents a variation found in extinct flatfish, not evidence of evolution between kinds of creatures. (Credit: Image by M. Friedman, obtained through phys.org/news/2012-06-mystery-flatfish.html)
In an encore performance of his 2008 study, Oxford paleontologist Matthew Friedman has now used an acid-transfer technique to dissolve some of the matrix from around a fossilized flatfish analyzed previously. His re-examination of the fossil confirms his previous findings. The fish differs from modern flatfish in only minor ways with the exception of the eyes. Heteronectes's left eye is located near the top of the skull but has not migrated to the opposite side.
Friedman's conclusion—that Heteronectes is a transitional form between fish with symmetrical skulls and the hundreds of flatfish species with two eyes on the same side of their heads—remains unchanged.
Friedman's conclusion—that Heteronectes is a transitional form between fish with symmetrical skulls and the hundreds of flatfish species with two eyes on the same side of their heads—remains unchanged. He concludes that the lack of transitional forms from the fossil record "lies in the way the fossils are treated."3
Yet despite Friedman's fine work freeing the fish from its stony tomb, creationists will still consider Friedman's conclusions to be, as the Institute for Creation Research zoologist Frank Sherwin put it in 2008, "underwhelming."4 Sherwin added, "We have no problem with the variation within flatfish. What we're asking is, Show me how a fish came from a nonfish ancestor."5
Adult flatfish, with their bizarre cranial asymmetry, actually begin life with cranial symmetry. Then, as a flatfish larva develops into a juvenile flatfish, one eye migrates to the other side of the head. Juvenile flatfish are known to swim at odd angles until the development is complete and they adapt.6 Not only is this orbital transit a normal part of flatfish development, but at every stage of the process the fish is still a fish.
Furthermore, Friedman explained in a 2008 interview, "It's possible that even the intermediate eye position would have provided an evolutionary advantage for the fish. Living flatfish often don't lie completely flat on the sea floor—they prop themselves up with their fins. Once you get that extra degree of movement, having a slightly shifted eye is going to be a lot better than having no shifted eye at all."7 Thus, Friedman, in 2008 and again in 2012, has described a reason that various permutations of the eye asymmetry would be of potential advantage to varieties of flatfish, including the extinct Heteronectes and Amphistium. But he has not described evolutionary transitional forms, just varieties of flatfish. In fact, these extinct kinds of flatfish are fossilized in the same rock layers as ordinary flatfish, their supposed evolutionary descendants. As Sherwin told the National Geographic reporter in 2008, "Fish have always been fish, all the way down to the lower Cambrian, [conventionally dated 542 to 488 million years ago]."8
Commenting on Friedman's study, Los Angeles Natural History Museum expert on fossilized fish, John Long, said, "This is a profound discovery which clearly shows that intermediate fossil forms, which according to certain creationist theories shouldn't exist, are regularly turning up as scientists keep looking for them." However, creationists do not claim variations within created kinds "shouldn't exist"! Nothing about this discovery or its "re-discovery" screams transitional form or demonstrates evolution of one kind of creature into another kind of creature. God created all kinds of fish on the fifth day of Creation Week about 6,000 years ago, as His eyewitness account in Genesis records. And all kinds of fish were designed to reproduce after their kinds (Genesis 1:20–23). The created kinds of fish were equipped by God with the genetic information to vary within their kinds, but not to evolve into new kinds of creatures.

How the GOP Can Court Black Voters
Conservatives like Michael Steele should help make headway in the African-American community.
December 4, 2008 - 12:10 am
Republicans wondering what happened to cause John McCain's election defeat got a sharp confirmation of their worst suspicions November 5 from Newsweek magazine. According to Newsweek, McCain and his chief advisors refused to deploy key arguments against Barack Obama's candidacy.
This may be a harsh revelation for those who contributed to and volunteered for McCain's campaign, but beneath this failure are the keys to a Republican recovery in 2010 and 2012 — and a strategy which will undermine the Democrats' grip on black voters.
The Democratic primary contest had exposed the anti-Americanism of Obama's former pastor Jeremiah Wright. The revelations were timed too late to deliver victory to Hillary Clinton, but had a powerful effect against Obama in the later primaries. Unlike the Clintons, the McCain campaign put Wright and also Michelle Obama off limits. Also off limits according to Newsweek: Obama's lack of military service, suggestions that an Obama administration will not adequately protect Americans from terrorism, arguments that Obama is soft on crime, and even a video of Obama dancing with Ellen DeGeneres.
Bill and Hillary Clinton got a taste of being tagged "racist" in the primaries. For McCain, was the pain of being called "racist" so great that he chose to undercut his own campaign? Or was the decision a mistaken political calculation in a little-understood but very real battle between the two parties over the black vote?
John McCain is not the only one choosing to stifle himself. Alan Greenspan, testifying about the subprime mortgage crisis before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on October 23, said: "Those of us who have looked to the self-interest of lending institutions to protect shareholder's equity (myself especially) are in a state of shocked disbelief." He continued, "I made a mistake in presuming that the self-interests of organizations, specifically banks and others, were such as that they were best capable of protecting their own shareholders and their equity in the firms."
Are charges of "racism" and racially motivated "redlining" by community organizers and their backers in the Congressional Black Caucus also enough to override the profit motive and the "self-interest of lending institutions" — leading to stock market declines of 40-50% this year? Or perhaps more credit should be given to the exercise of power by Black Congressional Caucus leaders over the selection of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac executives and board members.
In the November 5 Los Angeles Times, Stanford University scholar and writer Shelby Steele writes that Obama's campaign "tapped into a deep longing in American life — the longing on the part of whites to escape the stigma of racism."
For many, that longing may have outweighed their lost life savings. For coal district voters, the desire to escape the stigma of racism — most recently attached to them by Rep. Jack Murtha (D-PA) — was sufficient to win their backing of a candidate pledged to bankrupt coal-fired electricity generators.
In an election driven by the collapse of the stock market, Barack Obama — who played a role in causing that collapse — was able to cruise to victory. Riding his coattails: many Congressional Democrats whose involvement in the subprime mortgage scam is far greater than Obama's. Ousted: Republicans who presciently warned of the impending disaster, including Senator Elizabeth Dole (R-NC) and Senator John Sununu (R-NH).

Voice of the Voter polls community
Updated: Friday, September 6 2013, 06:55 PM EDT
Rochester, N.Y. -- A 2013 Voice of the Voter Poll shows Rochester Mayor Tom Richards leading his challenger, City Council President Lovely Warren, in the race for mayor. It also gives us a look at how respondents view our community, the issues being debated in the community, and how two past political foes are viewed months after squaring off in a Congressional campaign.
The Mayor's Race
Richards and Warren square off in a Democratic Primary to be held on September 10th. Green Party Candidate Alex White will be on the ballot in November.
When asked if who they would vote for if the Democratic primary were held today 55% of respondents said Richards, 28% said Warren, and 17% said did not know or had no opinion on the race.
Alex White was viewed favorably by 21% of voters and unfavorably by 15%. Despite a strong showing in the 2011 Special Election this poll indicates that White still needs to build name recognition because 63% of respondents did not know who he was.
The Siena College Poll was conducted between July 29th and August 1st and it included responses from more than 1,000 registered voters in the City of Rochester; more than 600 were registered Democrats.
Voice of the Voter will host a debate between Richards and Warning on September 3rd at 8 p.m. The debate will take place at WXXI's studios.
A Look At Our Community
This Voice of the Voter Poll also asked respondents how they felt about various parts of our community and issues being debated.
When asked if the State of New York was "on the right track" or "headed in the wrong direction" 51% of people polled said "on the right track." 33% said in the "wrong direction" and 16% had no opinion.
51% of respondents also said that the City of Rochester was "on the right track" while 38% thought the city was headed in the "wrong direction." 16% had no opinion.
A series of questions asked respondents to rate what they thought of a various aspects of life here in the Rochester community. Below are some of those questions and responses.
How responsive local government is to the needs of citizens?
Excellent 3%
Good 29%
Fair 40%
Poor 19%
Don't know to say 9%
The quality of our public schools:
Excellent 2%
Good 13%
Fair 29%
Poor 46%
Don't know to say 10%
The condition of public parks and other recreational facilities:
Excellent 16%
Good 52%
Fair 19%
Poor 5%
Don't know to say 8%
The condition of local roads, sidewalks, and other public works:
Excellent 3%
Good 37%
Fair 36%
Poor 22%
Don't know to say 2%
The job done by the police to keep citizens safe:

The ability to obtain suitable employment:
Excellent 1%
Good 20%
Fair 39%
Poor 28%
Don't know to say 12%
Maggie vs. Louise Again?
In 2012 one of the most talked about Congressional elections pitted longtime incumbent Louise Slaughter (D – Fairport) against three-term Monroe County Executive Maggie Brooks (R – Webster). The result was a landslide victory for Rep. Slaughter and a year later this Voice of the Voter Poll shows the community still backs Slaughter and is reluctant to embrace Brooks.
75% of respondents stated they have a "Favorable" opinion of Rep. Slaughter and a closer look shows that 86% of Democrats and 65% of independent or "other" voters share that opinion. Just 46% of Republicans view Rep. Slaughter in a favorable light.
18% of respondents gave Slaughter an unfavorable rating and 7% did not know enough to respond.
Meanwhile, County Executive Brooks received a 51% "Unfavorable" rating from voters and a 41% "Favorable" rating. 8% said they did not know enough to respond. While Brooks enjoys a favorable rating from 63% of Republicans polled, 59% of Democrats polled view Brooks in an unfavorable light.
Mayoral Control of Schools?
The issue first surfaced in January 2010 when then-Mayor Bob Duffy of Rochester launched a campaign to take over control of the struggling Rochester City School District. The campaign failed and as the district's struggles continue voters were asked now, three years later, if they support or oppose the Mayor being in control of RCSD.
38% said they supported the idea but 49% said they oppose. 14% had no opinion on the issue.
Voice of the Voter is a partnership between 13WHAM, WXXI Public Broadcasting, the Democrat and Chronicle, WDKX (103.9-FM), and YNN.

Your Professional Organization
The Association of California School Administrators was established in 1971. ACSA is the largest umbrella organization for school leaders in the nation, serving more than 14,500 school leaders.
The mission of the Association of California School Administrators, the driving force of education in California and beyond, is to ensure the creation of communities of learning and teaching that serve both the aspirations of individual students and the greater good of society, through this unique and indispensable coalition distinguished by:
• bold and authoritative advocacy;
• dedication to the highest personal and professional ethics;
• inspirational networks of discovery and sharing of knowledge;
• mutual commitment to excellence; and
• universal accessibility to learning.
More than two dozen job-alike and issue-oriented councils and committees, a board of directors and a delegate assembly keep ACSA focused on school leadership and on education policy issues at the local, state and federal levels.
ACSA has a significant role in steering the course for improvements and progress in public education and for school administration. Among its many activities, ACSA continues to lead efforts in negotiations on school finance as well as in advocacy efforts to increase program flexibility for schools, districts and counties. Recognizing the state's financial situation in recent years, ACSA has led efforts with counterparts in the Education Coalition to maximize education funding and to protect the integrity of Proposition 98, as well as to implement and support the transition to the Local Control Funding Formula.
ACSA's focus on teaching and learning means the association has a lead advocacy role on issues such as curriculum and instruction (including the transition to Common Core State Standards), assessment and accountability, 21st century learning and improving efforts to close the achievement gap. As expectations and accountability requirements for school leaders increase, ACSA continues to be on the forefront on issues at both the state and federal level.
The association continues to be the leading proponent in the state for school leaders and for our profession. ACSA led the cooperative effort to adopt California Professional Standards for Education Leaders, a set of high-quality standards for effective school leadership. Professional learning programs offered by the association - ACSA's summer residential programs at UCLA, ACSA academies for nearly every administrative position, AB 430 administraor training programs and coaching programs for both new and experienced school and district leaders - are aligned with these standards to ensure quality among the ranks of school administration.
Make the Most of Membership - Get Involved!
You can play an important role in shaping ACSA's policies and programs at the state, region and charter levels.
The State Level
Opportunities for involvement at the state level include serving as an elected officer, a member of the Board of Directors, or a representative to the Delegate Assembly. ACSA members serve on statewide professional committees, task forces and advisory bodies. This cadre of committed volunteers is a vital professional network for ACSA members.
State ACSA's leaders can be located under ACSA Leadership.
The Region Level
ACSA's 19 regions divide the state geographically and provide valuable opportunities for professional involvement with administrators in nearby school districts. The regional structure allows your voice to be heard on education issues. Each region elects regional officers who also serve as the region's voice at the statewide Delegate Assembly. In addition, regions elect a representative to ACSA's state Board of Directors. ACSA regions offer networking opportunities, professional development workshops and programs tailored to meet local needs. A portion of your dues (14 percent) is rebated to regions for these programs and activities.
You can find more information on individual regions within our Regions section.
The Charter Level
More than 200 charters have been created within regions to address the local interests of members in one or more school districts. The charter structure gives ACSA its grassroots strength. If you are new to a district, the local ACSA charter is an excellent forum in which to meet your colleagues, share experiences and learn about district issues. Charter presidents are listed within our Regions section.
Formation of ACSA
Administrators in California had long talked of forming an umbrella organization that encompassed their varied professional functions. A Constitutional Convention in May 1971 sealed the task. An interim board of directors, representing the consolidating associations, built an amalgamated program and structure that became operative July 1, 1971. As a result, California had the first operative united administrator organization in the nation - the Association of California School Administrators (ACSA).
Associations that joined together to form ACSA included:
The combined membership of the original seven organizations was more than 8,000, with many duplicate members. Membership exceeded 9,000 in ACSA's first year of existence, and has achieved phenomenal growth since.
Since ACSA's inception, administrator associations in 39 states have moved toward some form of consolidated or "umbrella" organization. ACSA is the only association in the nation that encompasses the broad spectrum of the management/leadership team.

2012. USA. Tim Burton. 87 min.
Sunday, December 16, 2012, 4:30 p.m.
Theater 1 (The Roy and Niuta Titus Theater 1), T1
2012. USA. Directed by Tim Burton. With Martin Landau, Charlie Tahan, Martin Short, Winona Ryder, Catherine O'Hara. For his third stop-motion animated feature (second as producer and first as director), Burton returns to a story he first filmed as a live-action short in 1984, with the addition of previously unrealized characters he created for True Love (c. 1981–83) and Disney's The Black Cauldron (1985). Riffing on Mary Shelley's classic tale and on his own love for sci-fi movie monsters and mad scientists, Burton depicts the comic mayhem that engulfs suburbia when a young Victor Frankenstein brings his beloved dog, Sparky, back to life after a tragic accident. Despite its 3-D trappings, the film may be best appreciated as a small-scale, warmhearted reverie on Burton's childhood in Burbank, CA—a location many viewers may recognize from his iconic Edward Scissorhands (1990).

INDIANAPOLIS, IND-It was an impressive performance in the preseason opener for the Buffalo Bills. Buffalo scored a preseason record 44 points in a44-20 win over the Colts.
Both rookie quarterbacks E.J. Manuel and Jeff Tuel had strong showings.Although only a preseason game it appears that this Bills coaching staff demands the Bills play a physical, aggressive style on both sides of the ball.
Manuel finished 16 of 21 with a quarterback rating of 102.6 and wasn't sacked though he was credited with a fumble after botching a handoff to C.J. Spiller, which led to an Indianapolis field goal.Manuel played his best on the final drive of the first halfwhen he was 9 of 10 for 68 yards as most of the Bills' starters continued to play against an Indy defense full of backups. The TD pass to Dorin Dickerson gave Buffalo its first lead.
Tuel a free agent from Washington State was 19 of 23 for 212 yards and two touchdowns. Tuel threw a six yard touchdown pass to Da'Rick Rogers and a five yarder to Brandon Kaufman.
The Bills also got an impressive performance from Marquise Goodman on special teams. The rookie wide receiver had two long kickoff returns for the Bills, including a 107-yard return for a touchdown in the second quarter.
Indy's Andrew Luck played only two series and didn't produce a scoring drive.Backup Matt Hasselbeck played only three series.
The Bills are home Friday against the Minnesota Vikings. Kickoff is scheduled for 7-pm at Ralph Wilson Stadium.

In the last decade, increasing attention has been directed towards climate changes induced by human activities, their interactions with natural climate variability, and possible consequences for design. A recent DNV Position Paper reported projections of met-ocean conditions in the 21st century and beyond, as well as relevant uncertainties (Bitner-Gregersen and Eide, 2010). The findings indicated an increase in extreme significant wave height in the North Atlantic from 0.5 to 1.0 m by the end of the 21st century, with uncertainty of the same size. This increase is also supported by more recently published papers. The present study is a continuation of DNV's work and investigates the impact of expected wave climate change on tanker design. Five different oil tanker types, ranging from Product Tanker to Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC), are considered.
A significant increase in the probability of failure due to hull girder collapse is demonstrated, and thus an increase in the steel weight of the deck in the midship region by up to 15 % is necessary in order to maintain a satisfactory reliability level. The largest increase is required for VLCCs and the smallest for Product Tankers. This study also provides recommendations for future research activities for investigating approaches to adaptation to climate change with respect to marine design.

712 Fifth Avenue
Henri BendelNew York, NY, USA The Taubman Companies Schuman Lichtenstein Claman Efron Heritage + Historic, Office, Repositioning + Transformation 472,000 ft2 / 43,850 m2 New York Association of Consulting Engineers (NYCE) First Prize for Engineering Excellence (1991)
Set back 50 feet from the street to assure visual autonomy with adjacent landmark structures in this historic district, this mixed-use building is located on one of Fifth Avenue�s best preserved blockfronts. With fa�ades dating back to the turn of the century, 712 Fifth Avenue presented a particular challenge in the need to preserve the existing character of the structure while building on top of it 52 stories to maximize the zoning potential of the site. A new fa�ade was built next to the historic fa�ades to be compatible with the historic character of the blockfront while also filling the gap in the streetwall.
The building is clad in Indiana Limestone and white Vermont marble, with bronze medallions, polished black granite, and thermal green granite accents. Light and shadow are manipulated with deep recesses on the shaft and crown, providing depth to the walls and liberating the top plaque from the corners. The base is connected to a public atrium, where Ren� Lalique architectural glass panels, incorporated into a retail store, are housed in the landmark Rizzoli and Coty buildings.

This garrison cap was among my father's things when he passed away (in 2006). It wasn't his (he served in WWII), but it might have been my grandfather's (he served in the Philippine Insurrection), or he might have picked it up in a yard sale. We lived in Saratoga, CA, which is near San Jose, CA, so he certainly could have picked it up locally; and my grandfather lived in San Jose.
It's 11" x 5-1/4" in size and feels like it's made of wool. The inner headband is light brown leather and the lining is light brown fabric (cotton?). Nothing is written inside. It's in terrible condition, filthy dirty and moth eaten. Still, I'd like to know what it is and whether it might have been my grandfather's.

Would having it dry cleaned ruin it? Or should I just leave it alone?

Hillary Dalton Wins Top Prize of $30,000 Playing "Crossword" Scratch Game
DES MOINES, Iowa - A Morrison, Ill. woman said she hardly slept at all the night before claiming the top prize of $30,000 in the Iowa Lottery's "Crossword" instant-scratch game.
Hillary Dalton, 21, said she bought the ticket on her way home from Main Family Dental Care in Davenport, where she works as a dental assistant.
"I was just watching TV relaxing while I was scratching it. Then I wasn't sure if I got all of the ten words; I thought it was only nine until I made my boyfriend count it again," Dalton said.
Dalton said she and her boyfriend, Josh Bousman, took the ticket back to Hy-Vee Gas at 809 S. Fourth St. in Clinton to have it validated. Dalton said she tried to go to work the next day, but had trouble convincing her coworkers of the win.
"I told them that I won and they didn't believe me, so I had to show them the ticket," Dalton said. "I told them I was afraid to lose it so they let me leave to come claim it."
Dalton said her family and Josh's family didn't believe her either.
"That's just the way Josh is; he's a jokester," Dalton said.
Dalton said she plans to save her winnings until she can decide how best to use them.
Dalton claimed her prize Aug. 2 at the Iowa Lottery's regional office in Cedar Rapids.

Sounds like either;
1) You dont have the drivers for the USB root hub installed, or
2) You running Win95 version A, which doesnt support USB. You want Windows 95 version B with USB support.

may i ask why youre using windows 95?
i think there is some kind of service pack to allow 95a to use usb
My cars
I have read that about a lot of people using pentium 166 and windows 95 because the boot times were very fast, since i am using the same type maching i decided to go with 95 but i think i am going to go 98 because i cant get this problem resolved
I myself decided to google it and basically the answer I found was to either write your own drivers (heh, yeah right) or to upgrade to Windows 98. Even if you do somehow upgrade to Windows 95b or c, they still do a bad job of utilizing your usb port. My personal suggestion would be to install windows 98 and simply make it 98 lite.
