SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The toll for crossing the Golden Gate Bridge is going up again.
The $1 increase approved Friday by the board of that oversees the famous span goes into effect on Sept. 1.
Drivers using cash will pay $6, and those using the electronic payment system FasTrak pay $5.
The extra income from the increase will be used to erase the Golden Gate Bridge Highway and Transportation District's $91 million deficit.

Wearing/using make-up that's been in your posession for over a year or so is not good anymore!.. Same thing with other cosmetics - lotions, moisturizers, eye creams, etc. Try to use your stuff within a year. If you're not using any of it, give it to someone who will! :)
Most of us shop at Sams, Costco, and others to buy in bulk. Sometimes when you look for the expiration date they are hard to find. If you take a white mailing label "Avery" and write the expiration date on the label with a black shape. This will make it quick and easy to find the oldest products in your pantry.
341Try this several times in a year.and be careful with the expiration dates on items if you use the food banks.Look at you pantry to make certain items are not going to waste. Regularly check expiration dates. Pull items that will expire in the next month and find a way to use them in a new recipe.26245265341476466261
Stocking up on food items when they are a good price is only saving you if you actually use the food before it expires or goes bad.example: If salad dressing is on sale and you buy 5, but then 2 expire before you use them, then it was not such a good deal afterall.Go through your fliers and then go through your pantries to make sure that you actually need the items you are buying.

TOKYO — U.S. investigators said Wednesday they asked Boeing Co. to provide a full operating history of lithium-ion batteries used in its grounded 787 Dreamliners as Japan's All Nippon Airways revealed it had repeatedly replaced the batteries even before overheating problems surfaced.
National Transportation Safety Board spokesman Peter Knudson said the agency made the request after becoming aware of battery problems at ANA that occurred before two recent incidents involving the planes batteries.
All 50 of the Boeing 787s in use around the world remain grounded after an ANA flight on Jan. 16 made an emergency landing in Japan when its main battery overheated. About a week before that, a battery caught fire in a 787 parked at Boston's Logan International Airport.
ANA said it had replaced batteries on its 787 aircraft some 10 times because they didn't charge properly or connections with electrical systems failed, and informed Boeing about the swaps. Japan Airlines also said it had replaced 787 batteries. It described the number involved as a few but couldn't immediately give further details. The 787 is the first airliner to make wide use of lithium-ion batteries. They are prone to overheating and require additional safeguards to prevent fires.
Boeing said Wednesday that replacing the batteries on a plane is not uncommon. The company said that it has not "seen 787 battery replacements occurring as a result of safety concerns."

Water: Current Water Quality Criteria
Revision of National Recommended Water Quality Criteria
Fact Sheet; 2002
EPA has revised its national recommended water quality criteria for 83 chemical criteria to protect human health. These updated criteria supercede any published in EPA's previous criteria compilations including the "Blue Book," "Red Book," "Gold Book" and EPA's last compilation published in April 1999.
The Clean Water Act (CWA) requires EPA to publish and periodically update ambient water quality criteria. These criteria are intended to ". . . accurately reflect the latest scientific knowledge . . . on the kind and extent of all identifiable effects on health and welfare including, but not limited to, plankton, fish, shellfish, wildlife, plant life . . . which may be expected from the presence of pollutants in any body of water . . ."
Water quality criteria developed under section 304(a) of the Clean Water Act are based solely on data and scientific judgments on the relationship between pollutant concentrations and environmental and human health effects. EPA's national recommended water quality criteria are guidance for states and tribes in adopting water quality standards under section 303(c) of the CWA. These water quality criteria are not regulations and do not impose legally binding requirements on EPA, states, authorized tribes or the public.
The revised national recommended water quality criteria may, however, be superceded by the publication of 304(a) criteria after the publication of this update.
What's new in the updated compilation?
The 83 revised human health criteria have been recalculated based on EPA's new methodology entitled, Methodology for Deriving Ambient Water Quality Criteria for the Protection of Human Health (2000) (EPA-822-B-00-004). This is a partial update based on a comprehensive revision of components of the 304(a) criteria. Partial updates represent a way of increasing the frequency of scientific improvements to the nationally recommended criteria. The revised human health criteria specifically integrate the new fish consumption rate of 17.5 grams/day, relative source contribution (RSC) factors obtained from primary drinking water standards, and any new cancer potency factors (q1*s) or reference doses (RfDs) in the Agency's Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS).
The criteria do not incorporate bioaccumulation factors (BAFs), a component of the new methodology. Rather, the criteria rely on bioconcentration factors (BCFs). EPA intends to focus resources on developing BAFs for pollutants that the Agency considers of high priority and national importance, due to the comparative complexity of developing this component. The revised human health criteria are more stringent than those previously published, however, they are consistent with the criteria updates in the recently published compilation.
EPA is separately publishing partial updates for 15 criteria in the Federal Register because the revisions significantly change the numerical values. EPA will accept scientific views on these 15 criteria. This is consistent with the process for publishing criteria previously described in the April 1999 compilation.
Additional Information
EPA's updated national recommended water quality criteria compilation, including the 83 revisions, is available in a report, National Recommended Water Quality Criteria: 2002 (EPA-822-R-02-047). Contact NSCEP's web site for copies.

Introduction / History
The Safaliba people reportedly came from an area in today's Cote d'Ivoire and settled in an area of about sixty square kilometers around what is now Mandari near Bole in the Northern Province of Ghana. Later on the Gonjas arrived in the area and the Safaliba surrendered to this more numerous and powerful people group. Due to this peaceful submission the Safaliba were allowed to retain their chieftaincy alongside the Gonjas' and the Gonjas do not ask any taxes from the Safaliba and cohabitation is friendly. The Safaliba also have continued to settle their own cases for their own people.
The Safaliba's main subsistence is farming, mainly of yams, cassava, millet, corn, and groundnuts. They are also involved in shea butter extraction. Their houses are rectangular with flat mud roofs and intricate designs imprinted on the walls. Several houses are joined together and create a fortress-like impression. Access to the roof is gained by means of a beam with cut out steps.
The influences of traditional religion and Islam are present, but the Christian churches are on the rise. There is a great openness to Christianity among the Safaliba, and the churches are growing in all age groups. The Roman Catholic Church has the main Christian influence in the area, but there are also a few protestant churches. The churches are still very young, there are no church buildings in the four Safaliba villages. The openness to Bible translation is great as well. Language surveyors have encountered ready cooperation. The authorities are welcoming and cooperative.

To celebrate the 4th of July, we are presenting a patriotic, one-of-kind special that salutes the game-changing ladies of American pop. Hosted by Ciara, who's new self-titled album drops on July 9th, 33 Greatest All American Divas is a countdown of the greatest divas from past and present.
What does it take to be one of the best American Divas? Take a look at five of the top ladies and see what makes them stand out as true divas and American icons.
Aretha Franklin
Aside from the massive hits spanning over three decades, 20 Grammy awards, and being the first female artist to enter the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1981- there is that distinctive and timeless voice that puts Aretha at the top of the list. With classics such as "Respect" and "Chain of Fools" loved by the young and old alike, the "Queen of Soul" is unquestionably the Queen American Diva.
Barbara Streisand
Barbara Streisand isn't just a pop diva. "Babs" is a singer, songwriter, author, actress, writer, film producer and director – and she happens to be great at doing it all. Streisand holds the record for the most top-ten albums of any female recording artist – a total of 32 since 1963. She has won two Academy Awards, eight Grammy Awards, five Emmy Awards including one Daytime Emmy, a Special Tony Award, an American Film Institute award, a Kennedy Center Honors award, a Peabody Award, and is one of the few entertainers (less than 20) who have won an Oscar, Emmy, Grammy, and Tony Award – dubbed the EGOT.
It takes a real diva to dance in public wearing a coned bra and yet still be admired as one of the top businesswoman in the music industry – and Madonna pulls it off with chutzpah. Guinness Book of World Records considers Madonna the most successful female artist of all time – but we don't need a book to tell us that. Madonna needs no explanation for being one of the greatest All American Divas. She is a true American icon like no other in pop music.
Mariah Carey
Let's work out some numbers here. Mariah has more #1 pop hits in the US than anyone but the Beatles. Her voice can cover an unbelievable five octaves. She has won five Grammy awards and, after a few years in the early 2000s where her career faltered, she came back with "We Belong Together," which went on to spend 14 weeks at #1 making it one of the biggest pop singles of all time. Not bad Mariah… not bad at all.
Whitney Houston
The late great Whitney Houston was a true force of nature- with a flawless voice and staggering beauty that made her a sensation all over the globe. Her career saw six studio albums, three movie soundtracks, one holiday album and a greatest hits collection- all of which have sold over 200 million records worldwide. She is also in the Guinness Book of World Records for being the most awarded female act of all time. This was a diva that sadly departed too soon.

In recent years Virgin Valley varsity basketball players followed Black Friday with an annual practice game against the alumni, which usually turned out to be Black and Blue Saturday for the Bulldogs.
Not this time.
The bigger, stronger alumni brought some heavy artillery into the game, prevailed in the paint and packed the key with a dense 2-3 zone defense, but the varsity countered with quickness, the flexibility of youth and accurate outside shooting to make things interesting before falling to their hoop ancestors 53-46 Saturday evening in the Dawg House. ...

USS Indianapolis reunion may be the last
INDIANAPOLIS — More than a dozen men who survived the worst sea disaster in U.S. naval history — the World War II sinking of the USS Indianapolis — have gathered in the cruiser's namesake city for the final large-scale reunion of the famed ship's dwindling number of survivors.
Thirty-eight of the 317 men who survived the ship's July 1945 sinking and five days in the Pacific's shark-infested waters are still alive, but they're now in their late 80s and early 90s and many use wheelchairs.
Harold Bray, an 86-year-old from Benicia, Calif., said he and the 14 other survivors attending this year's reunion decided on Friday that any more gatherings will be smaller and less frequent because so many of the survivors are in poor health.
"We decided to stay together until the last guy's standing, but the goal is to continue at a smaller scale," said Bray, chairman of the USS Indianapolis Survivors Organization. "Some of the guys are in wheelchairs now and travel is pretty tough for them."
Bray said the survivors will nonetheless keep telling the story of the ship's sinking, their survival and the role they played in helping bring the war to a close.
The USS Indianapolis was halfway between Guam and the Philippines when a Japanese submarine sank it with torpedoes on July 30, 1945, in the war's closing weeks.
Days earlier, the Indianapolis had visited the island of Tinian in a secret mission to deliver the uranium-235 and other components for the atomic bomb later dropped on Hiroshima by the Enola Gay, which took off from the remote island.
The Indianapolis' mission was so secret she sailed alone, unescorted by ships better equipped to detect and fight Japanese submarines.
An estimated 900 of the ship's servicemen survived the vessel's nighttime sinking, but before rescuers arrived five days later, drowning, delirium, dehydration and shark attacks had claimed all but 317 of the men.
The Indianapolis' death toll — 880 members out of a crew of 1,197 died — is the Navy's worst single at-sea loss of life. But reports of the tragedy were buried by the news of the Japanese surrender, and interest in the ship's story was not revived until the 1975 movie "Jaws" featured a character who told of the sinking and the survivors' days of agony.
Edgar Harrell, an 89-year-old from Clarksville, Tenn., who is one of only two ex-Marines among the remaining survivors, said the horrors he witnessed — including sharks devouring men around him — became too much for him to bear after he returned home.
While many survivors kept what they saw and heard to themselves, Harrell said the lingering trauma he'd suffered left him unable to focus on the college courses he enrolled in immediately after the war.
"I learned early on that you had to get it out, you had to tell others what happened," he said. "Once I did, it was a relief."
Clarence Hershberger, an 87-year-old survivor from De Leon Springs, Fla., who uses a wheelchair, hadn't planned on attending the reunion, which ends Sunday. He'd been feeling poorly but decided Monday to make the trip to Indianapolis, where a black granite memorial honors the ship and its crew.
He said that when all of the survivors are gone he hopes their relatives and others keep reminding the public about the ship and its crew's sacrifice.
"Somebody's got to keep the story alive," Hershberger said.

Rookies Root Beer has gone from being sold at 12 locations to 22 in the last year but success hasnt gone to the co-owners heads.
Dave and Jenny Rooke are both eager for their business to continue to grow. However, they are thankful for progress that Rookies Root Beer has made so far.
We appreciate everything we have, Jenny said. The root beer kind of took over. It blows our minds sometimes.
Dave Rooke started making root beer as a hobby while he working in the catering industry for a living. His passion turned into a career in 2005, after the beverage received great reviews at various catering functions.
Now, after years of making the root beer in his kitchen, Rooke built a brewery in his garage to make the production process easier.
And since the beverage is now being offered in so many locations, Rooke has recently enlisted the help of the Mad River Food House. The company will soon distribute the root beer to locations in the Mad River Valley, relieving Rooke of half of the delivery responsibilities.
Im a one man show and I can only do so much in a day, he said.
And every day for Rooke is busy.
Monday is for washing the kegs used to produce the root beer and Tuesday he contacts clients to see how much of the beverage they need. Wednesday and Thursdays are when Rooke makes the root beer and Friday when he delivers his product to his clients.
Even though every week consists of the same basic schedule, Rooke loves his job and being his own boss.
Being self-employed is so incredibly rewarding, he said. You get to learn things in a way you would never get to learn them when working for someone else.
Rooke said he couldnt do it without his wifes help.
Jenny is the marketing department, he said. I couldnt do it without her.
The couple has lived in Burlington for 12 years and Jenny said she is proud to call the town her home.
I love living in Burlington, she said. Locals support locals. If you have a good idea and you are a good person, people will rally around you and its awesome.
And the team still enjoys root beer after seven years of making the beverage.
I like to mix Rookie's with Vanilla Stoli and Bailey's and call it the 'Big Kid Float,' Jenny said.
While the business continues to expand, the Rookes are enjoying the ride.
When doors open, we walk threw them, Jenny said. We dont know what well find, but we keep opening doors.

Mike Scioscia: 'Ludicrous' to think Angels didn't value Mike Napoli
Mike Napoli's name is so ubiquitous in baseball circles at the moment that even his former manager couldn't avoid fielding a question or two about the Rangers catcher.
Mike Scioscia, who managed Napoli with the Angels from 2006 to 2010, did an interview with ESPN 710 in Los Angeles on Tuesday, and the topic of conversation quickly turned to the red-hot Napoli.
"I think to say that we didn't value Mike or he wasn't a catcher that was going fit into our system is just ludicrous," Scioscia said on the Mason and Ireland Show. "The issue isn't whether we butted heads or how Mike was catching. He caught fine for us. It was really more of a durability thing, and that's one of the things that Mike's going to have to prove as his career goes on."
Scioscia, himself a former major league catcher, was said to be especially hard on Napoli during his tenure with the Angels, and some have even suggested that Scioscia was instrumental in the offseason trade that sent Napoli out of town due to a clash of personalities.
"We did not butt heads, that's absolutely false," Scioscia said. "Mike had to work on stuff that didn't come naturally to him, more so than other catchers who maybe do it a lot more naturally."
For his part, Napoli has admitted to learning a lot under Scioscia, but he's also said the move from under Scioscia's watchful eye has been something of a relief.
"I always felt like I was looking over my shoulder to see if I was doing things right," Napoli told SportsDay's Evan Grant in August. "I had 'bad hands.' I was so worried about my setup and the mechanics all the time. I learned a lot. I learned a lot of what I do there, but playing there just wasn't much fun."
When asked whether he'd take a mulligan on the Napoli trade, Scioscia acknowledged that the deal backfired for his club this season, but he was unwilling to wave the white flag just yet.
"I think we have to wait a couple years first," Scioscia said. "Right now, there's no doubt that Mike Napoli is a huge addition for Texas, and there's no doubt that he's somebody who could've helped us last year. But the trade was made. We'll evaluate it as it goes on. This year, obviously, they've gotten the best of that deal."

Recently, the topic of fiscal responsibility has dominated discussion among our government leaders. That has been and should be the case.
And, of course, since taxes are the chief source of revenue from which services, infrastructure, defense and other expenditures must come, tax rates are at the forefront of this conversation.
Our country has had a great history of economic growth and prosperity. What's astounding is that, among this 24/7 tax rate debate, almost no one has spoken about what has worked well in the past.
History will show that income tax rates are much different today than in the past. In fact, from 1936 to 1981, the lowest top tax bracket was 70 percent and the highest was 91 percent.
The political party in power didn't matter, as this range of rates held steady through 36 years and eight presidents, both Republican and Democrat.
The most significant thing to mention, however, is the fact that our national debt, as a percentage of GDP, went down every year.
Fast-forward to the '80s and things began to change. From 1981 to 1989, the top tax rate dropped from 70 percent to 28 percent. During those eight years, our national debt almost tripled. We also have continued to add to our national debt almost every year since.
The above is simple historical math that anyone can look up. A look at the numbers shows that tax rates are historically very low. And while you would think that history would provide the guide to move us back toward a fiscally responsible policy, there's another powerful force at work.
The rich don't want to pay taxes. And unfortunately, because they've bought the elections of many of our politicians, they've also bought their votes.

Meatball at sanctuary, probably headed to Colo. wildlife center
One of the most famous bears this side of Jellystone Park has moved to Alpine — but just for a few days — on his way to a permanent home.
Meatball, aka the Glendale Bear and Glen Bearian, was trapped early Wednesday in the Los Angeles suburbs, where he has been showing up for months and gaining star status on TV and the Internet.
More than 28,000 people follow the @TheGlendaleBear Twitter feed run by a Glendale woman on the bear's behalf.
The Department of Fish and Game said Meatball was spotted this week around La Cañada Flintridge and was captured on video in at least two locations. That was too much for state officials, who have been concerned about the bear's bold moves for months.
In response, a warden baited a culvert trap with bacon and honey, capturing the brown bear about 4 a.m. in La Cañada Flintridge.
Meatball was carted to Lions, Tigers & Bears, a licensed animal sanctuary in Alpine, Wednesday afternoon and said to be "safe and secure and resting comfortably."
Founder and Director Bobbi Brink said her new ward is about 550 pounds and "a beautiful bear." She said the publicity he brings "gives us the opportunity (to) teach people why it's so important not to feed wildlife. … You can see how driven this bear is."
Fish and Game spokesman Andrew Hughan said Meatball started showing up around Glendale roughly nine months ago and was first captured in April.
"We took him back to the forest and then a couple months later, he came back. Then we captured him again in July and then he came back about four days ago, and we captured him again," Hughan said. "That's the third strike."
Fish and Game officials typically euthanize "habituated" bears, but Hughan said Meatball isn't your average bear.
"This is a special animal," he said. "We don't relocate bears because clearly it doesn't work. But (the department) is very sensitive to the public perception of this bear, with the Twitter feed and website and the T-shirts so we decided that if it was possible to safely capture and secure the animal, then we would."
Meatball's fame is partly due to Sarah Aujero, a 29-year-old Glendale resident who works in the recording industry and grew up watching rerun cartoons of Yogi Bear — the lovable rascal known for stealing picnic baskets in Jellystone Park.
"It all started back in March when I was watching the news like other people here in Glendale and hearing about reports of a bear in the area, breaking into people's garages and into their refrigerators and eating Costco meatballs," Aujero said.
"It was a weekly thing where he would come every garbage day. I thought this bear was very smart — extraordinary. (There were) lots of stories about the bear just acting with human characteristics: He would be hungry, so he would climb a car so he could reach oranges on a tree."
Aujero said she didn't want the bear to get hurt or to be put down because people did something stupid around it.
"This bear is funny, and I started the Twitter account so people could share in the humor," Aujero said.
She said she's never seen Glen Bearian — her pet name for the bear — in person but acting as his online persona has become an around-the-clock affair as she fields messages from around the globe.
"Day and night, I am getting 'bear hugs,' and 'I love you Glen Bearian,'" she said. "I think people know it's not really a bear (on Twitter), but they like to play along."
She's raising money through online T-shirt sales to pay for Meatball's move to Colorado.
Hughan said Meatball will only be in Alpine for a few days before he's shipped to a wildlife center near Denver that has agreed to give him long-term accommodations at no cost to the state.

It was a moment frozen in time: A crowd of 300 thronged around a giant yellow backhoe on a graded dirt lot, smiled for the photographer perched on a ladder and looked into the future of student life at Alcalá Park.
When the four-story, 50,000-square-foot center opens in Fall 2009, that particular image from the March 27 kickoff for the Student Life Pavilion will be on display. It makes for a perfect fit, as the photo not only has a historic pedigree — echoing a 1949 picture of Bishop Charles Buddy and Mother Rosalie Hill at the original USD construction site — but it captures a celebration in which excitement about the new campus hub was equaled by elation over the NCAA Tournament appearances of the men's and women's basketball teams.
Situated east of the Hahn University Center, the pavilion will boast stunning views, wireless Internet access and an outdoor performance amphitheater.
"It will change the lives of every student at the University of San Diego," Associated Students President Matt Thelen told the gathering. "It will offer students a place to relax, gather with friends and cheer on future Torero victories."
Every aspect of the pavilion's intricate design reflects student demand for a building all their own that will create a palpable sense of community. "The key word is 'transparency,'" said Thomas Cosgrove, associate vice president for student affairs and a prime mover behind the capital project. "Students want to see and be seen. The mercado will overlook the main dining area, and the main dining area will pour out onto the plaza mayor. This will be a very exciting facility."
Cosgrove and Greg Zackowski, executive director of the Hahn University Center, headed up a 14-member committee that began studying the prospects for a new student union in 2004. Enthusiasm for the project was so strong that an April 2005 student referendum to help fund the center through a fee increase won 76 percent of the vote.
"Students saw the need," recalls Zackowski. "The committee went out to 35 different meetings, and the students made the presentations. Over the years, a lot of space inside the Hahn University Center was set aside for specific programs and reasons. But a student center is supposed to be a place where you come for no reason. With this new pavilion, we're trying to bring that back."
Designed by Hom & Goldman Architects, the Pavilion will cost $36 million to build. An estimated $21 million will be covered by general obligation bonds, with the remaining $15 million to be raised by private support in a drive that Cosgrove is committed to. "I've been here 35 years, so I've made a lot of connections with alumni," he says.
At the kickoff, Thelen remarked that, even though he will graduate before the pavilion opens, "I will enjoy it as an alumnus.
I'm very excited for future generations of Toreros." Through donations to the pavilion, he added, "we can set a trend of giving and supporting our university, and leave a lasting legacy here at the University of San Diego."
Darlene Marcos Shiley, chair of the Board of Trustees, appeared at the ceremony in a radiant blue tunic ("I pawed through my clothing this morning looking for Torero blue, and I found it!" she quipped) and summed up the mood of the crowd. "If there's anything we've proved in the last couple of weeks, it's this: It's all about heart."

BEIJING - The two Chinese victims of the Asiana Flight 214 crash in San Francisco were identified Sunday as teenage schoolgirls in eastern China, headed to the USA for a two-week summer camp.
Ye Mengyuan and Wang Linjia, both 16, were students at Jiangshan Middle School in Zhejiang province bordering Shanghai, reported China Central Television, citing a fax from Asiana Airlines, which operated the plane that crashed.
Of the 291 passengers on board, 141 were Chinese. At least 70 Chinese students and teachers were on the plane heading to summer camps, according to education authorities in China. Teacher Ye Lianjun told Chinese television that there were 34 people traveling in the Jiangshan Middle School group - five teachers and 29 students.
Anxious parents gathered Sunday around the school gate, said student Jiang Wenbin, 19.
"They are worried, and nervous, waiting for the news. They only have one kid in the family, so I understand them," Jiang said.
"One friend called me when he got off the plane, many of them are my good friends," he said before the two deaths were confirmed. "I am very worried about them, I wish them all safe."
The two victims' final postings on Chinese micro-blogging service Tencent Weibo drew interest Sunday.
On Friday, the day before the Jiangshan Middle Group departed Shanghai bound for San Francisco via Seoul, Wang Linjia wrote simply "Go", in English.
In another recent posting, she said the prospect of saying goodbye to old classmates left her overwhelmed by sadness. Wang often quoted from a modern fairy tale popular among young people for reflecting the joys and pain of growing up.
On Thursday, Ye Mengyuan, whose personal name, Mengyuan, means "dreams come true", made her final post - "444444". The number four is considered unlucky in Chinese as it sounds similar to the character for "death".
By William M. Welch, Jon Swartz and Gary Strauss, USA TODAY
(USA TODAY - SAN FRANCISCO) -- An Asiana Airlines flight from Seoul crashed on landing at San Francisco's airport Saturday, killing two passengers, injuring more than 180 and and forcing dozens of frightened passengers and crew to scamper from the heavily damaged aircraft before it was engulfed in smoke and flames.
There were 307 on board, including 16 crew. Officials said 123 escaped without injury and 181 were hospitalized or treated for injuries. Among the injured, 49 are in serious condition and five at San Francisco General Hospital, including a child, remain critical. Among the 47 others at San Francisco General, several were treated for minor injuries, including fractures and abrasions, and were released Saturday night.
"It was all over in 10 seconds," says Vedpa Singh, who suffered a fractured collarbone. "We heard a big bang, and it was over."
The cause of the crash has not been determined, but the FBI has has ruled out terrorism. The Boeing 777 appeared to have touched down tail-first and short of the runway. A sheered off tail section rested several hundred feet from the main body of the aircraft, and debris from the plane littered the runway. Passenger Janghyung Lee told USA Today that the aircraft rattled wildly before landing.
Images from the scene showed smoke billowing from the plane and emergency exits open from the plane's fuselage. A massive, gaping hole blackened by fire stretched along much of the plane's top.
The flight, which originated in Shanghai China before stopping in Seoul enroute to San Francisco, was carrying 61 U.S. citizens, 77 South Koreans and 141 Chinese. All passengers and crew were accounted for by Saturday night. It took several hours to account for everyone on the flight.
"We're lucky we have this many survivors,'' said San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee.
It was the first fatal crash of a commercial airline in the U.S. since February 2009.
National Transportation Safety Board Chairman Deborah Hersman declined comment on whether pilot error caused the crash. "We have not determined what the focus of this investigation is yet,'' she said before leaving Washington, D.C, with a crash site-bound team of investigators . "We will be looking at everything. Everything is on the table at this point.''
Hersman said the investigative team would look at all possible crash causes. "Obviously we have a lot of work to do,'' Hersman said before departing Washington for the crash scene.
The investigators will work with the FAA, the aircraft's manufacturer Boeing and Korea's Air and Accident Investigation Board, Hersman said. Analysts in Washington, D.C., will examine air-traffic control records, weather and aircraft maintenance issues, she said. Investigators on site will examine the aircraft, the cockpit data recorders and the scene.
San Francisco International Airport was closed for several hours, with incoming flights diverted to other airports, before reopening two of four runways.
Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg said in an e-mail that she had been scheduled to take the flight, but switched to a United flight to cash in air miles for family members. "We are OK. My friend on that flight is OK, too,'' Sandberg told USA TODAY.
Samsung executive David Eun, who was aboard the aircraft, was among the first to tweet photos and word of passengers. "Fire and rescue people all over the place. They're evacuating the injured. Haven't felt this way since 9/11.''
Asiana Airlines said on its Twitter account, "Our thoughts and prayers are with all the passengers, and flight crew on the flight. We hope to provide you with further info asap... We are currently investigating and will update with news as soon as possible.''
Boeing said in a tweet from its corporate account: "Our thoughts are with everyone affected by today's incident at SFO. We stand ready to assist the NTSB.''
Saturday's mishap was the first fatal accident involving a major commercial carrier in the U.S. since November 2001, when a American Airlines flight to the Dominican Republic crashed on takeoff in Queens, N.Y., killing all 260 people on board. The last fatal accident involving a commercial flight in the U.S. was Colgan Air Flight 3407, which crashed near Buffalo, killing 50 in 2009.
In another crash of a Boeing 777-200ER, British Airways flight 38 crashed just short of the runway at London's Heathrow on Jan. 17, 2008. That crash had no fatalities, but dozens were injured. That crash was blamed on ice crystals clogging the fuel line on a long flight from Beijing.
Asiana Airlines is based in Seoul. Its website says its Boeing 777 can carry up to 300 passengers. Asiana flies 12 B777-200ER twin-engine jets, which can fly 14 hours non-stop. The airline operates 79 aircraft and flies 91 international routes to 71 cities in 23 countries.
The FAA investigated two accidents involving Asiana within weeks of one another in November 1998.
In the first incident, on Nov. 11, 1998, an Asiana plane with 220 passengers and 18 crew aboard skidded into a parked plane after landing at Anchorage International Airport in Alaska. Federal investigators blamed the pilot for excessive taxi speed and inadequate maneuvering to avoid the parked plane.
On Nov. 30, 1998, an Asiana cargo plane struck and toppled a crane in the safety zone next to the taxiway after it landed at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. The FAA faulted the co-pilot for misjudging the wing's clearance.

Board Member Search Strategy
Project Complete
Completed on Feb. 12, 2013
Scott M.
Strategic planning & leadership development
Manna Project International (MPI) is looking to conduct a strategic board expansion/revamp as it transitions into its next stage of growth. Currently, MPI has a six-member board, including the Executive Director, all of whom are young professionals and all of whom were formerly involved with MPI as volunteers/staff. While MPI does need to increase the fundraising capacity of its board, it also needs strategic leadership to help it continue its international and domestic expansion and continue its transition from a startup organization to a leader in the youth-led international development field.
We are looking for a professional who can help us construct a framework for conducting this expansion/search, including identifying organizational leadership needs/leadership priorities, assessing current strengths and weaknesses, formulating an ideal board size/composition, and both helping identify potential candidates and advising staff and board leadership about how to conduct such outreach themselves.
If you have any additional questions about MPI and/or this project, please don't hesitate to ask.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Today marks the 10th anniversary that the Bush era tax cuts were signed into law, and millionaire Paul Egerman (EH'-guhr-man) is one of a group that says it's time to put an end to them for some people.
The wealthy businessman who founded the medical transcription company eScription is part of a group of millionaires who think Bush era tax cuts should stop benefiting the wealthy.
Egerman says putting an end to the tax breaks is one way to help trim the deficit. He says if the country is really broke then it can't afford to give tax cuts to millionaires.
Republicans have said that any move to raise taxes as part of the effort to trim the deficit is a nonstarter.

Body Integrity Identity Disorder
You are currently browsing comments. If you would like to return to the full story, you can read the full entry here: "Body Integrity Identity Disorder ".
14 Responses to "Body Integrity Identity Disorder"
# Ori Vandewalleon 16 Apr 2013 at 11:48 am
I find it interesting that there's a correlation with gender identity disorder. That could certainly just mean that individuals who are physically male but feel female naturally don't feel as if their penis is their own, but I could imagine the reverse being the case.
If for whatever reason your homonculus never mapped your genitalia correctly, then you may respond by taking body image cues from women. By the time you've developed your own self-image, you will feel female on the inside.
(And I imagine all of this could be true for female to male transgenders as well.)
# jreon 16 Apr 2013 at 5:54 pm
I was massively intrigued by Anil Ananthaswamy's article in Matter, as I suppose anyone would be — the first time you hear about BIID it sounds more bizarre than anything you could have imagined.
And I happened on that article by accident. Tom Levenson recommended another excellent article by Cynthia Graber, currently a fellow in Tom's science journalism program. With those two articles, I was hooked. I subscribed to Matter, and have never regretted it.
# Dianeon 17 Apr 2013 at 7:45 am
Funny; I, too, have wondered whether there might be some similarities between body integrity disorder and gender identity disorder. It would be nice if there were some way for people to get their gender identity (or mental image of their body) and their physical body into agreement without the use of surgery and hormones. But we are very far from figuring out what could be done, and in the meantime both people with BID and transgender people are likely to be very offended by the suggestion that their deeply-felt understanding of who they are is a manifestation of a neurological problem. So I would be surprised if much progress is made on this issue anytime soon.
# Ori Vandewalleon 17 Apr 2013 at 8:38 am
I'm sympathetic to the fact that transgendered people don't want to be labeled as neurologically wrong. I think it's better to look at it from this point of view: a very large number of variables play into how our brains develop. Most of the time, those variables converge on a gender identity and physical sex that seem to coincide. Sometimes, they don't. But what this means is that no matter what your mental image of yourself is, it's dependent on your neurological development. All of what a human is can be deconsructed into something physical, but that doesn't make it any less genuine; that's just what genuine actually means.
But if a person is unhappy with their identity for whatever reason, there should be resources available to help.
# HHCon 17 Apr 2013 at 5:30 pm
Would not the amputation of a healthy limb in a person with BIID be considered fraud by a healthcare insurance provider?
# superdaveon 17 Apr 2013 at 6:46 pm
What we really need to is to dissociate biologically uncommon with sociologically wrong.
# Marshallon 18 Apr 2013 at 11:27 am
Steve, the link to your most recent blog post on Predicting the Future appears to be broken.
# HHCon 18 Apr 2013 at 9:17 pm
If we have to use disassociation to accept this phenomenon, will vanity influence insurance economics?
# HHCon 19 Apr 2013 at 5:43 pm
If persons with BIID in the U.S.A. pay out of pocket over $20,000 for amputation, do they attempt to recover their intentional disability from our social security system?
# daedalus2uon 22 Apr 2013 at 9:47 pm
The connections of sensory nerves to the brain pretty much have to be learned. There simply isn't enough data in the genome to specify each connection.
# postmanon 06 May 2013 at 8:57 am
Are you saying that changing the wiring of the brain would be less invasive than a simple surgery or hormone therapy? Yes, I would be offended in their place, too.
I think that even if such therapies are available , it should be the individual's choice how to deal with their situation.
# tashiegirlon 27 Jul 2013 at 1:57 am
Hi, I think i might have an interesting case of BIID. I'm totally congenitally blind, but my homonculus is sighted, or as sighted as it can be, given that I can't see with my physical eyes. I find the mismatch between my brain and body to be quite strange, and I'm working on trying to develop a way to experience color with my fingertips so that I can feel more myself.
# TerraCinqueon 10 Aug 2014 at 7:15 pm
Steve, you wrote:
"Further, in patients who did have the limb amputated, 70% had resolution of the desire for amputation, while 30% had a recurrence of the desire."
What does the 30% recurrence mean? Does it mean the patient continued to feel the presence of the amputated limb, as in Phantom Limb Syndrome, and continued to feel the need to have it amputated? Or did the desire to have an appendage amputated shift to another part of the body?
Also, how up-to-date was the review you studied? Everything else I've read about the disorder has suggested near-100% satisfaction and relief after the "extra" limb was amputated.
I don't know if you're still monitoring these comments, so I'll also email these questions to you. Thanks!

Be a Man, Make a Decision
One of the biggest turn-offs to your girlfriend is indecision. As a man, you need to learn how to make decisions. Too many men are stricken with the disease of indecision in their lives. They let chance and inertia carry them through their lives. This lack of initiative carries over to their relationships with their girlfriends.
Have you ever heard one of the following questions from your girlfriend?
What should we do tonight?
What do you want for dinner?
Which dress do you like?
Did you give any of the responses below?
She Just Wants To Hear It
I've written a lot about indirect communication when it comes to seduction. Your non-verbal gestures and actions can have an intoxicating effect on your girlfriend. That being said, there are times when she just wants to hear it.
You are a man of value in her eyes, and your girlfriend wants your validation (if you are doing it right). There's nothing more seductive than to feel wanted, desired, and loved by a man she looks up to. While as men, we tend to express our care and feelings through our actions, such as earning financially, protecting the family physically, or doing the tough tasks, women sometimes just need your verbal confirmation.
Part 2: 6 Ways to Pass Your Girlfriend's Tests
In part 1 of this series, I outlined the various types of "alpha tests" that your girlfriend is likely to throw at you at some point or another.
In this article, I'll show you ways you can easily "pass" these tests.
1. Ignore
Ignoring a statement shows that it doesn't even deserve your acknowledgment. You are selective with your attention, and choose not to bestow it upon your girlfriend's dumb little alpha tests.
Think of parents ignoring the whining of their children. It's the same idea.
Part 1: Testing For The Alpha Asshole
If you've ever dabbled in the pickup community, you'll be familiar with the concept of a "bullshit test" or simply "shit-test". For the rest of you, basically a shit-test is when a woman deliberately says or does something to see your reaction. Her goal is to get you to supplicate, and if you do so, you have failed. For example, if a woman demands that you buy her a drink, and you acquiesce, then you have just failed.
For my purposes, I'm going to call these shit-tests "alpha-tests". You'll see why momentarily.
How to Get Mad at Your Girlfriend
Over the course of a relationship, there will inevitably be times when your girlfriend does something to piss you off.
Today I'm going to talk about when, why, and how to get angry at your girlfriend.
Why Are You Angry?
The first thing to determine is why you feel angry at your girlfriend.
Sure, it's probably something she did or said, but dig deeper.
Why did her casual flirting with other guys pissed you off? Because her actions made you feel jealous. Why did her disinterested conversation anger you? Because she is not paying you attention.
Big Egos and Seduction: Self-Confidence Vs. Arrogance [Part 1 of 3]
Imagine for a moment that arrogant prick you knew in college/high school who somehow always got the girls.
While that d-bag was probably an a-hole, what is it about him that was so attractive to girls?
If you said "confidence", you are right. More specifically, his gigantic ego was at the root of his success. Today, I'm going to talk about how you can maintain a huge ego while not falling trap to insecurities or losing touch with reality.
The end result is you're girlfriend becoming more attracted to you. In this Part 1 of the 3-part series, I will discuss what differentiates self confidence and arrogance.
"That's My Girl" — The Magic Words
Words are a woman's weakness. The words you choose to communicate with your girlfriend can take her to peaks of emotional highs or valleys of emotional lows.
There are a few magic, go-to phrases that are guaranteed to get a great reaction from your girlfriend. My favorite phrase, and the one I will break down today, is: "That's my girl!"
Why It Works
Claims Her
By using the possessive "my", you are implicitly placing a claim on your girlfriend. While we are way past the age of viewing women as property, staking a claim is very seductive to her.
Why Valentine's Day (and Other Holidays) Matters to Your Girlfriend
Roses, chocolates, and embellished Hallmark cards. Love's holiday is here!
Amongst all the festivities and romantic fun, if you are like most guys, you may have taken a minute to wonder: Why exactly does my girlfriend care so much about Valentine's Day?
Every Girl Wants to Feel Special
The dream of every girl ever since she was young is to be special. She wants to be the princess who meets her prince Charming. In our contemporary Western one, the desire to feel special is a strong one for women.
Spontaneity & Unpredictability: The Spices of Your Relationship
Today, I will answer the question of how to spice up your sex life/love life.
Instead of giving you a list of "Top 10 Tips", I'm going to talk about two principles that will add that needed zest in your relationship with your girlfriend: spontaneity and unpredictability.
The ability to be spontaneous is a critical seduction skill to have in relationship. A spontaneous attitude is the best defense against the ennui of routine that inevitably sets in when a long-term relationship starts going steady.
Girlfriends Need Attention: When Fluffy Talk Trumps Concrete Action
In Art of Seduction, Robert Greene mentions that women have always been seduced by the power of words. Words have had a seductive hold on women's hearts since the dawn of spoken language.
As men, we often think the opposite way. We think if we show our love to our girlfriends through our actions, then she will understand. If we work hard enough to provide for her, if we make more money, then we have proven our love for her. Surely, she'll see our sacrifice no?

The revival of Rick Santorum's campaign aspirations comes as the American economy is surging back to life and President Obama is in his best position for reelection in at least two years. The business record of Romney, already being ripped to tatters by his rivals and the Democrats, suddenly looks as if is an even greater liability with jobs being created and his gloom and doom rhetoric striking voters as oddly tone deaf. The right-wing of the GOP is in control of the primary now, and they are going to take Republicans off the cliff of unelectable extremism. http://www.sunstateactivist.org
The vote for Santorum and his "victories" are the ones that don't matter.
Sound and fury, signifying nothing.
Romney will get the delegates.
I don't care what you say, Ricky-boy, just wait until I carpetbomb you with wave after wave after wave of negative ads just like I did the Newster.
I will buy this election and get my money's worth too!
Mitt has traveled thousands of miles on the road the last six months, visiting with Americans across the country. And now you have the chance to join him for a special day on the campaign trail.
One lucky supporter will get to meet Mitt and spend the day on the road participating in campaign activities. And by donating $5, you can be Mitt's special guest.
The picture accompanying this article is frightening.
I lived in PA when RS was Senator-thinking women will not vote for him or Romney either if he is his VP-Santorum is a neanderthal-vote for him and you are going back to 1800's.
That Billionaire standing next to Rick Santorum? He ain't nobody, just a good friend.
The same forces that gave Romney his victories in MN and CO in 2008 are what gave Santorum his victories last night. No big surprise. Romney benefited in 2008 from a strong anti-establishment vote, and the anti-McCain people came out in droves to support him. This year, Romney is perceived by many of these same voters to be the establishment candidate, so Santorum received their support. In addition, Romney's strongest supporters had little incentive to get out and vote, given Romney's near certain lock on the nomination. All of that said, Romney will need to step up his game now. But rest assured, Romney is the only one in the field with any chance of getting all the delegates needed. He will be the nominee.
Why is the media refusing to cover the story about Karen Santorum's seven year sexual relationship with an abortion doctor 40 years older than she was? Callista Gingrich has taken plenty of fire, but the Santorums hide behind their religious zealotry. Karen's past is certainly fair game if she is aspiring to be FLOTUS. All conservatives should be concerned about this story: http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor/2012/01/17/the_anti_fornication_anti_abortion_wife_of_rick_santorum_lived_very_differently_in_her_20s_.html.
Bring home some dead babies?
Money and organization don't matter is always what the loser says.
After the success of "Operation Destroy Newt" we launch "Operation Destroy Santorum."
I have been around for a although now, i consider myself a loyal reader. Just thought i would let you know!
excellent post! I hate commenting and i dont typically do it but because i enjoyed this, what the heck! Thanks alot!:)
At the end the winner wins because they had both money and organization.
All the rest is empty talk that losers use to deceive themselves.
Unless you have enormous charisma.
Santorum and Romney are not charismatic.
See this statement:-
"Mr. Santorum's remarks seemed to resonate with clergymen such as Pastor Richard Ellis of Reunion Church in downtown Dallas, who introduced the candidate. "I am a Christian first, I'm an American second," the pastor said, adding that his opposition to abortion makes him "a one-issue voter.""
With the rising right wing nuts having this kind of mentality, is it any wonder why this country is going through so much intolerance where one american with one view point cant work with another with a different view point.
If we want this country to get back its past glory, it is important that we all consider ourselves Americans first and then what ever you want to. Country comes above everything else.
If your religion is so important to you, I would suggest you move to Rome.
If you want a culture warrior president, go ahead and vote for Santorum. That has limited appeal to the non-religious, moderately religious, non-Christian, or people who consider other issues more important. Santorum pretends he has wider interests, but it always comes back to the religious stuff. For me, I can handle my religious issues without Santorum. However, I need the president and Congress to handle this kind of issue: http://moderatepoli.blogspot.com/2011/12/no-shock-treatment-please.html
Did I miss something here? Father of ObamaCare AKA Mitt Romney has won two primaries:NH & Florida. Romney is a double talking flip flopping establishment candidate with a Washington insider track that will say and do anything to get elected. He has been running for some political office for like a decade.
Mitty has LOST 5 of 7 primaries? Mitt lost Iowa, South Carolina, Missouri, Colorado, and Minnesota. What is he suppose to be the front runner of? Someone standing in front of a bus waiting to get hit?
What, are you 12 years old? Do your homework and study, that way you will not grow up to be republican.
