All you have to do these days is pick up a copy of the Asbury Park Press to get a sense that our schools are not the safe havens for our children they should be.
From free-spending superintendents to sexually abusive teachers to the upsurge in overuse injuries among children and adolescents, the message is that parents need to be vigilant.
? Once again, we are faced with an out-of-control school superintendent (and a rubber-stamping Board of Education.)
Retired Wall Superintendent James F. Habel has recently been indicted on charges ranging from defrauding taxpayers of $361,992 in vacation payments to tampering or falsifying records. He left in the wake of his 10-year tenure that ended last year.
Once again, a compliant Board of Education just kept giving a superintendent more and more taxpayer-funded salary raises and perks. So many, in fact, the state Commission of Investigation cited him back in 2006 for excessive salary. He now joins other free-wheeling superintendents, such as former Toms River superintendent Michael J. Ritacco, in being indicted.
The money they receive is less money spent in the classroom.
? Add to that the recent cases of female teachers accused of sexually assaulting teenage students. Teacher Erin Haskell, 32, of Barnegat, who had worked for the Toms River Regional School District, pleaded guilty last week to charges of entering into an inappropriate sexual relationship with a student. Haskell faces a possible five- to 10-year prison sentence, pending results from a sex offender evaluation, and lifetime parole supervision. That same week, Kalee Warnick, 22, was accused of having relations with a 15-year-old student in Wall.
Experts say these cases don't represent a surge of crimes against children. Overall, the rate of sex assault cases in recent years continues to decline. But it is not declining fast enough.
What has changed, according to prosecutors, is a willingness to report such abuse. That is a good thing, but it is cold comfort to parents and students who are victims of these educators.
? "Playing though Pain," the four-part Asbury Park Press series running this week on overuse injuries among student athletes, underlines yet another problem facing those who attend our schools:
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP), participation in organized sports continues to rise, with nearly 30 million children and adolescents in the United States competing in some form of organized athletics. But the increase in play also has increased the number of injuries. Still, up to half of all sports injuries, particularly overuse injuries, are preventable.
As varied as these stories are, they point to the need for parents and educators to keep their eyes open in order to keep their children both safe and properly educated.

Lucie is creating an English version of "Mightier Than Disease" that will be available for Pad & Tablet Devices. This version will allow disabled individuals an easier way to access the amazing inspiration from the pages of her book.
Mightier Than The Disease
Lucie Carrasco is an accomplished author that has written a inspiring book about her life and her quest for creating an amazing life for herself against the greatest odds.
" Most people do not remember their birth. I do, because I was born twice. At the age of eight months the doctors told my parents that I was suffering from a genetic disorder, a progressive disease - Spinal Muscular Atrophy. The day when I would die was already scheduled, I would not live beyond the age of three."
- Lucie Carrasco
"I am about to turn 32, and during all these years where I was not able to look towards tomorrow, I kept the desire to live life with a sense of urgency."
- Lucie Carrasco
"Against all odds, I celebrated my fifth birthday - And then I turned seven and then ten. I had decided not to die. It must be said that I was clearly not suited to follow all those laid down paths. This wasn't my thing. It was a most difficult course, a long way to go, there were many obstacles and there was suffering ... But above all there was joy, there was love and laughter."

Milwaukee Brewers center fielder Carlos Gomez is one of three National League finalists for the Rawlings Gold Glove Award. Gomez represents Milwaukee's best chance to win the award in 31 years.His competition for the honor is pretty steep, however. The Pirates' Andrew McCutchen and Nationals' Denard Span are the other finalists for the award, which will be announced tonight at 7:00 on ESPN2.
Milwaukee's last Gold Glove Award winner was Robin Yount in 1982. The Brewers have won only nine Gold Glove Awards in their history, including first baseman George Scott's five straight from 1972-76. The only Brewers outfielder to win was Sixto Lezcano in 1979.

|Hey guys,
Don't forget that General Stuart and his cavalry were nowhere near Gettysburg. In fact he arrived in the evening of the 2nd day of battle. He was "just out for a joyride" and getting his name in the Pennsylvania newspapers.
If he had stayed with Lee's army, scouting the Federal positions, the battle of Gettysburg might have been a resounding Southern victory.

Strange pregame happenings at AAC
Update: If Fisher is out tonight, and it appears he probably will be, Darren Collison will get the start at point guard, Rick Carlisle said.
Also, the Sixers will be without point guard Jrue Holiday, who has a foot problem.
If it weren't for Derek Fisher's uncertain situation, the scene of Nick Young at the vending machine in the bowels of the AAC would have been a stirring development before tonight's game between the Mavericks and Sixers.
The Philadelphia guard was trying to get some candy out of the machine, but was having trouble getting the dollar bill to go into the machine.
Luckily, the great Chuck Cooperstein was hanging around and offered to loan Young a buck.
Here's a guy who signed for $6 million before this season, but needed to bum a dollar for a pregame sugar fix.
Meanwhile, Fisher was announced as "out" by coach Rick Carlisle in the pregame media briefing, but then Fisher strolled into the locker room in his shorts and practice gear and, while saying he wasn't feeling well, he wasn't sure if he was playing or not.
We'll find out in about an hour.
Meanwhile, Elton Brand is fighting a groin problem and he was trying to get loose before the game. It will be a game-time decision as to whether he plays against the Sixers, Carlisle said.

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 28 — The Lynas issue may have impact on two parliamentary seats in Pahang but is unlikely to gain traction among voters out of state and affect the ruling coalition's chances in the next election, Barisan Nasional (BN) MPs and analysts said.
Pulai MP Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed said while no one wanted Lynas Corp's rare earth plant "in their backyard", it would not be a major issue leading up to the 13th general election.
He accused the opposition of trying to turn a local issue into a national issue but said they would not succeed as no rural voter outside of Balok, located near the Gebeng plant, cared about it.
"So it might impact Kuantan and Indera Mahkota (parliamentary seats) but the opposition are already incumbents there, so BN has more to gain than lose," he told The Malaysian Insider.
The BN had won the mandate to govern in 2008 but lost its customary two-thirds hold in Parliament.
Datuk Seri Najib Razak, who took over as prime minister from Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi mid-stream, has been working hard to win back support for the BN amid global economic gloom.
Despite widespread speculation, he has held off calling early elections. The BN's mandate expires in March next year.
Pasir Salak MP Datuk Tajuddin Abdul Rahman disparaged the 8,000-strong crowd which turned up at the anti-Lynas rally in Kuantan on Sunday, claiming up to 60,000 showed up when the prime minister visited his constituency.
The government would not take the risk of hurting the people and environment, he pointed out, as the BN administration was "not so stupid as to be killing themselves".
"If I'm the PM, would I allow it if I would lose power? Never mind the kampung people, even educated people don't really care about this," the Felcra chairman said, adding that the election will be about jobs and opportunities.
Pahang MCA chief Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said the opposition had "hijacked" civil society for their own political gain in the Lynas issue but stressed that the government had the people's interests at heart.
"PM clearly said the government will look into the issue. The government is acting on behalf of the public and defending the rakyat.
"As health minister, I can say the people's health is of utmost importance," the Bentong MP said, adding that it was important to ensure the project was transparent to allow the public to scrutinise it.
Political analyst Ong Kian Ming said the Lynas issue would probably ensure the marginal parliamentary seats of Indera Mahkota and Kuantan remained with the opposition but said it was purely a local issue.
"I don't think it has national implications," he said.
The UCSI lecturer added that voters who saw the controversial plant as an issue would only be placated if it were axed but said the possibility of that happening was remote.
Najib said yesterday that the RM2.5 billion Lynas Advanced Materials Plant (LAMP) would not have been given a temporary operating licence if federal regulators were not sure of its safety.
"But if there are people who object for political reasons, there is nothing we can do about it. Opposition parties will look for issues like this as capital to garner the support of the local community. But they are not finding a solution," he said.
He had also said the government was looking for an uninhabited location to place waste material from the plant's operations even though it was safe scientifically so as to not "haunt the community psychologically".
Najib's assurance that the plant was safe prompted anti-Lynas coalition Himpunan Hijau to reiterate its threat to call for another mass rally to demand the plant be scrapped.
Thousands of demonstrators attended an opposition-backed rally in Kuantan on Sunday in what was the largest protest to date against the rare earth refinery, which is expected to fire up operations later this year.

Interesting take on THE SISKO
The above link goes to a great little analysis of THE SISKO and how his mission relates and differs from the missions of the "flagship" Captains like Kirk, Janeway, and Picard.

Re: Interesting take on THE SISKO
DS9 was less about introducing us to new aliens(though they certainly did) and more about defining aliens we had already met. The Cardassians were just another generic bad guy of the week when we first met them in TNG. The Bajorans were just another sympathetic alien of the week. Even an old race like the Klingons were fleshed out quite a bit and don't even get me started on the Ferengi as they were in TNG.
The politics of dealing with the same races in a set area made the show interesting and the single setting allowed for all kinds of story and character arcs that a ship on the move wouldn't get. What would DS9 be without it's recurring guest stars like Garak, Weyoun, Dukat, Damar, Rom, Zek, Martok and so forth?
DS9 was a great show more than Sisko was a great captain. As for your article writer Steve, I'd take him a bit more seriously if he could proofread a published article better. Unless Sisco is someone I missed on the show?

Re: Interesting take on THE SISKO
I felt like Sisko was a much different kind of captain. Towards the end, I felt as though he began to take his role as the emissary as his prominent role rather than Starfleet Captain.
I just finished watching the series a few days ago...and right after I watched the last episode What You Leave Behind, I decided for comparison I would watch Emissary. Wow...boy had he changed!

LibQUAL+ Survey9 April 2010 by Kate Zoellner
The library just completed conducting an online service quality survey, LibQUAL+. As we plan for the future of Mansfield Library it is essential that we understand your perceptions and expectations of the Library so that we can provide the services and resources needed for you to be successful. Over 4,000 University members were randomly selected to respond to the survey.
Mansfield Library is one of over 1,000 libraries that have taken part in the LibQUAL+ survey that was developed by the Association of Research Libraries. The Mansfield Library participated in LibQUAL+ in 2003 and 2006 and we made several improvements based on the results including extending library hours and increasing our electronic resources.
Results from the LibQUAL+ survey the library conducted in 2003 and 2006 can be found on our website at: http://www.lib.umt.edu/assessment. The results from the survey responses this Spring will be made available to the University community in the fall. You can find out more about the survey online at http://www.libqual.org/.
Individuals who were not randomly selected to participate in the survey but would like to provide feedback to the library are encouraged to fill out the library's comments form online at http://forms.lib.umt.edu/forms/suggest/suggestform.htm.
Contact Kate Zoellner at 243-4421 or email firstname.lastname@example.com with questions.

I am so frustrated by the fact that you have it made it nearly impossible for students or researchers to search multiple databases simultaneously. I really enjoyed being able to search jstor, anthrosource, cambridge online journals, etc. to quickly comb through as many different sources for information related to subjects I am researching.
Your current user interface makes an already tiresome process even more frustrating and I wish you wouldn't have changed your website.

Thanks for the comment, Michael. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with us. The new search feature works in a different way, so rather than searching discrete databases, it is searching across nearly everything we own. It is more comprehensive, and faster, than our old search. The advanced searching offers the ability to limit to particular results by publication type, language, etc., which should help get you to the kinds of results you expect. We would be happy to demonstrate the features of the new search to you. Stop by the Reference Desk when it's convenient and we'll happily take you through it. Thanks again.

With all due respect, the gentleman above recommended a slight change, and rather than addressing his concerns you simply rebuffed and scorned him. Perhaps others would be more inclined to offer their feedback if you actually demonstrated the ability to treat us like informed, responsible individuals rather than clueless children. Obviously Michael does not want to be tutored in the current system, he wants it improved. I would recommend that if the library wishes to remain a valuable resource, that it cease unnecessarily defending itself against the honest, and well-reasoned criticisms of its clients.

Thank you for your comments, Sean. We at the library believe that our users are informed and responsible individuals and greatly appreciate and consider their feedback. It was not our intent to rebuff or scorn anyone, I'm sorry that the response we provided came across in that way.
The input we at the library receive from our users is welcomed and greatly appreciated as it helps us improve our services to meet our users' needs. As the library makes decisions about our user interfaces we will take into consideration the feedback that Michael provided.
Thank you again for your comments.

|Late-onset type II endoleaks and the incidence of secondary intervention.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 14712377 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Type II endoleaks are a recognized complication of endoluminal treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms. In order to better understand the natural history of type II endoleaks and their influence on secondary procedures, we examined our experience with patients who developed isolated type II endoleaks 6 months or more after their original procedure. We conducted a retrospective review of patients who underwent endoluminal repair of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms with bifurcated endoluminal devices at a single institution from June 1996 to June 2000. Endoleak surveillance was performed on all patients by using a defined CT angiogram protocol. Patients with definitive and isolated type II endoleaks on CT angiogram were identified. Patients with indeterminate endoleaks or a combination of different types of endoleaks were excluded. Data were analyzed on the basis of early (<6 months) or late occurrence of isolated type II endoleak. Fifty patients were identified with isolated type II endoleaks. Of these patients, 20 (40%) had endoleaks discovered before the 6-month follow-up interval whereas the majority (60%) had new type II leaks discovered at least 6 months after their initial procedure. The timing of endoleak occurrence did not significantly influence the rate of spontaneous endoleak resolution between the early- (<6 months) and late-onset (>6 months) groups, which was nearly identical (40% vs. 43%). Ten patients in the early group and seven of the late-onset group required secondary intervention for treatment of type II endoleak (50% vs. 23%; NS). Three patients in the early group underwent surgical conversion (vs. 0 patients in the late-onset group). The mortality rate was not significantly different between groups (15% vs. 7%). Most isolated type II endoleaks in this patient population occurred 6 months or more after initial endoluminal repair of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm. Timing of type II endoleak occurrence did not significantly affect the rates of spontaneous resolution or mortality. Although differences were observed in the number of patients receiving secondary interventions, these findings did not reach statistical difference. All patients who required surgical conversion had early type II endoleaks. There were no observed ruptures in patients with increased aneurysm size treated with secondary intervention or those with stable aneurysm volumes who were followed without intervention. The continued development of type II endoleaks beyond the perioperative period supports the need for continued endoleak surveillance.

BALI HONEYMOON 3 weeks
Joined Travelfish
30th June, 2010
Posts: 7
Im planning a honeymoon from 8dec-28 dec.
so far we are looking at Bali because we don't want to travel too much and there are many places
to visit on the island.
we are looking for mostly close to or on the beach places, very relaxed vibe.
good views, lounging around. not apposed to doing day trips to view some sites.
if there is some snorkelling that would be good.
we have done Thailand 3 times and hong kong. in Thailand it was samui/phanghan/toa.
loved toa and Cookies Salad on Phangan.
we were thinking 3 areas , 1 per week but open to suggestions.?
is December too busy or are walk ins possible or do we book?
Is December good time weather wise, i see conflicting info?
Accomodation that is simple but also looking at some luxury places for a few nights, Spas etc.
any example accommodation that we can look at would be appreciated.
Budget, well we I was looking at around $100 a day for the 2 of us with food,accom,local travel so flights excluded.
so basically $2100 for 21 days.
Best places to stay, villas,hotels, homestays?
i am coming from South Africa, i have 2 flights options. SA - HKG - Bali , or with Emirates to Jakarta then local airline
from Jakarta to Bali. the second has a good saving on it and I was wondering which local airlines to stay clear from and where to stay in Jakarta for the overnight portion?
roughly I was thinking something like Sanur/Amed/Menjangan... Ubud and Jimbaran also options?
having said all that she wants pos card views with cocktails and lounging... so another island or SEA destination?
i think that covers it.
thank you.

I believe December is the rainy season in Bali. I was there in late January before which was nice, only a little rain late in the day and usually not lasting long. The rainy season also brings less crowds and lower prices. I really enjoyed Bali and everything's quite close so you can move easy. I'd avoid kuta if I was you, do the loop and rent some scooters. Loviina was surprisingly cheap and very nice. Your budget will allow you to stay u. Pretty nice places. Good luck

It says 13 days and 90mm is the average. I personally wouldn't worry about it that much, it might be a couple quick storm here and there w
It's a day or 2 of torrential rain. That's what I had. It brings benefits with it like I mentioned earlier as well as the weather is still warm, but much more bearable. I was gonna head to Bali that same time this year but I've been before so South America won that argument.

I can't remember the names exactly, but to get around Bali you will most likely rent a scooter or hire a taxi/private shuttle. Most of the places outside of kuta are fairly decent and reasonable priced. Just have your driver show you a couple until you find a good one. Little vague but remember the journey is often better than the destination.

|Honeymoon in Bali -- 2.5 Weeks ... By Obrad on 28 Apr 2011

I just finished recording and uploading my new course on TDD and BDD in Ruby. No previous experience required.
I hope you enjoy it!
I just finished recording and uploading my new course on TDD and BDD in Ruby. No previous experience required.
I hope you enjoy it!
During my last talk at the ruby underground last week, one of the biggest "aha" moments for the crowd was one I did not anticipate.
I switched to command line mode to explain something and mentioned how cool it was that I am using vim key bindings to edit the command line text. I simply press Esc to start moving around using b or w , then I can use "cow" to edit a current word on the command line etc..
Someone mentioned that was the one thing that made the talk worthy coming to for him.
To make this happen, I was using a .zshrc file from astrails.
but the magic is very simple to accomplish. by default you probably have emacs style key bindings in your command line. but if your'e a vim fan (as were the astrails guys I interned with for 6 months) you can change your .zshrc file to add this little line:
bindkey -v
if you're in bash instead of zsh you can use
set -o vi
that's it. next time you load a command shell you can Esc away and use vim key bindings.
I use ohmyzsh to customize and pimp up my command line.
Here's the gist for my custom theme that has lots of information (current branch, time since last commit, what change types and more).

I totally got a "Planet of the Apes" vibe from reading this chapter. It felt like this chapter was basically saying that humans still have to persevere even if sudden BS happens.
This chapter certainly showed a terrifying prospect for humanity. I was quite disheartened with Mike's death; for such a strong and inspiring man to have an end like that, screaming...:gwah In retrospect, Rivaille's squad had a much more- for a lack of a better word- "merciful" end with Annie's targeting of vital areas, than being chewed alive like Mike (not that that thought makes me less sad about their deaths).
Although it's true that the Ape!Titan seemed not to have known about the 3D gear, imagine the chaos that would ensue if suddenly titans are able to overcome t the gigantic 50m walls simply by jumping over them via the thrust provided by the 3D gear. I'm hoping the company of Ape!Titan doesn't figure out how the gear works (seems like it'd take a while to figure out its specific mechanics anyway..but you never know). Actually, if the intelligent human-titans somehow made the other titans even catapult themselves over the wall, that'd be the end of humanity as we know it. With their regenerative capabilities, awkward landings wouldn't be an issue...well, any not involving damage to their napes. *Brain explodes from sheer horror of the thought of flying titans...* :arf Having said that, it could just be that people like the colossal titan are just toying/testing humanity (resilience, coping ability etc) like a scientist would do with a lab rat.
In any case, I can hardly wait for the next chapter...Not only am I curious about all the new mysteries surrounding the new species of titan, I'm also curious about Bertholdt and Reiner's next moves. The possibility of the two being Annie's accomplices was made more obvious with the latest 2 chapters (at least, that was when I noticed it...I suppose I'm slow, haha). Reiner's reaction to Sasha hearing an approaching rumble, ("then that means Wall Rose has fallen") although seeming to be a logical statement on the surface, is nonetheless indicative of Reiner knowing more than he's letting on about the outside. His insistence on helping Connie sneak out earlier also kinda shows Reiner could be wanting to check the status of things/ carry out some plan. (Actually, do you think Reiner and Bertholdt already know Annie is being suspected as the female titan? I mean, Reiner seems to be pretty aware of Armin's intellectual genius, so I wouldn't be surprised if Reiner foresaw the danger Annie was in. Considering the fall of Wall Rose happened 2 days prior to Annie's capture, it could very well mean they had another plan up their sleeve). Ah well. I could just be over-analysing things though.
I agree with everyone else about the Ape!titan possibly being unrelated to Annie and co., so it'll be very interesting to see two enemy groups, so to speak, having an encounter (though the ape!titan seemed to be leaving the scene for the time being, so Reiner and co will probably miss him).
(P.S. Sorry if I'm speaking the obvious, I just couldn't help but join in the Shingeki discussion as it is one of my favourite series xD Ah and also, for the "Reiner and Bertholdt are Annie's accomplices" thing, I wonder if any of you read this person's post? http://forums.mangafox.me/threads/36...prefixid=m9011 I think it's an interesting read even if I do not agree with some parts of this person's theory. The hints this person picked up -which I COMPLETELY missed- are really interesting and comes to show how well panel- organised Isayama-sensei is).
The new chapter is around the corner, just a few more days. Damn can't wait. :derp

Remember Me
"I think [folk] goes back to the poets before [singers like Joe Hill and Bob Dylan], who were troubadours themselves, in the way that their poetry was received. I don't look at something and say, 'I want to try to be that,' but I definitely gravitate towards things I feel I could become, which I've always thought was interesting," says Moore. "I always thought the things I liked the most are the things I thought I could possibly do. I like Led Zeppelin, but in terms of my table of heroes with all the Townes Van Zandts and John Prines and Tom Waits, it struck me as strange that I like things, I think on some level, I could pull off like Leonard Cohen. I'll hear that and say, 'Wow that's amazing,' but deep down, I'm thinking, 'I could do that.'"
During a phone conversation with Moore following the release of Folk Singer, he discussed music, politics, life on the road, and life at home, but what stood out most about him was his degree of engagement. Moore will take any question you give him, analyze it and answer, piece by piece, often using his own answer as a platform to discuss a whole array of subjects that he somehow manages to fit within the specific context of the original question.
"I'd say that when Obama was running, we all went for it for a little while. Before [the election], and even before that, Bush brought out the fighting spirit in us, but one of the regretful things about Obama winning is a lot of people said, 'Alright! It's alright for us to pull the Hawaiian shirt out of the closet and get back to drinking piña coladas [laughs].' That's sort of a shame because we still need to be seeking the truth with a passion that doesn't seem to be that common place these days," Moore says. "I think there still is [a silence within the artistic community]. I think Bush was a good opportunity and a lot of people seized on it, but I think there's a certain depth of idealism that contemporary culture has created. We all saw the '60s come and go, even if it was through the lens of history. We know that time period. It's a new day and a different, interesting time. It stills my heart that there are young idealists. There always have been and there always will be. My generation was a terrible example in terms of activism or taking those ideals and making them glorious."
Aside from the perceived ideological failures of his generation, Moore seemed to feel as though the role of a folk singer is the same as it ever was. Both articulate and concise, Moore spoke in stream-of-consciousness-like sentences, breaking to breath, but ever-ready to continue vocalizing his train of thought.
"I think there's a timeless roll [to being a folk singer]," he says. "I was wondering whether it's the same as it's always been, but ultimately it's the folk singer's roll to mark in time stories of our day, and sort of [be] a historian encapsulating pictures of the world around us, and then preserve those stories for everybody. And in terms of performance and singing, it's giving people a chance to... feel."
Moore seems to feel the role of a folk singer is to tell tales of the world around him. But, the world starts at home, and this concept is far from lost on Nathan Moore.
"I'm getting a little older and I've found that the balance that home brings to my life, in terms of going out and having fun and getting loose on the road, but then coming home to a stable community and a beautiful home life, is pretty ideal for me. It keeps me balanced, as opposed to when I was in my twenties and entirely nomadic. Now I'm more balanced." With pride in his roots, Moore built upon his connection to his community, saying, "You go downtown and you see so many people that you know. I went to the same high school my grandmother went to. It's a tight community with a lot of history."
Even in describing his life on the road, Moore emphasized his connection to his hometown.
"When I left home I felt like a pioneer, but what was Columbus without Spain? I got to discover new worlds, but in my community's name and behalf. I always had a sense of that with what I was doing, way more than my community. I always felt like a pioneer for my home town," he says. "I had a revelation recently where I realized how important it is to me where I come from. 'Remember where I'm from.' It's a stabilizing mantra for me. It brings me back to what I have to offer."
Although he said very little about Surprise Me Mr. Davis, his rock project alongside the three members of The Slip, Moore did comment that although for now he's promoting Folk Singer, "We have 2010, [and] we're going to take over the world."
When talking about the big picture, be it past, present, or future, Moore has a way of making things seem specific. When asked what his future holds, he dabbled in metaphors that beat around the bush, yet managed to give a very clear answer anyway. "I've been feeling good about things," he says. "We're dealing with a lot with Folk Singer and Davis, [but] I feel like we're still at the tip of the iceberg. There's a lot about to come from me into the world, so people should stay tuned."

Joseph on Facebook
Date of Birth: 11/3
Background: born and raised in San Carlos, California in the San Francisco Bay Area. Although I'm not an Islander, my Mom was born and raisd in Hawaii, so our family's heart is in the Hawaiian Islands. A lot of the family home life, culture, music and gatherings involved "da Islands brah!" Especially the kaukau (food)... They say in Hawaii people don't eat until they're full...they eat until they're TIRED!!!! Even to this day and large percentage of my waredrobe is made up of Hawaiian shirts....
Personal Stuff: my wife Kim (from the Peak afternoon show) and I met at a radio station in California about 6 years ago, we've been married for over 3 years...we got married during a rain storm (normal weather) on the beach in Washington state. I've been married before and have two great kids, Meghann and Joe, both now in their mid-20s. Yikeees!!!! Meghann is a manager at a large hotel casino in California and just bought her second home. Joe is a flying crew chief on an U.S. Air Force K-10 refueling tanker aircraft and has done a tour of duty in Iraq. He has been to every corner of the globe. I'm very proud of both my kids.
Favorite stuff to do: well, besides eating, I love the outdoors, camping, off roading and road trips...so I am especially happy here in Colorado. We have a Jeep and plan to get out onto the high country trails and old railroad grades as much as we can, and I'm going to try fly fishing. Railroads and model railroading also one of my main interests. I also paint, do freelance writing and photography for publications, mountain biking and playing music. I have been teaching myself mandolin, guitar and of course ukelele for all those old Hawaiian tunes.
Radio Stuff: radio is a third...or is it fourth...fifth, maybe?... profession for me. I dabbled in it during college but found a "Big Break" in photojournalism so I followed that path for more than two decades. I got back into radio in a few of the small communities I worked in and was lured into it full time by a station manager in California, for a position where I did on-air, news, plus photography and writing for their really in-depth community web portal.
Current Fav TV Show: I'm not a TV fan at all, but do love watching commercials more than the actual shows..don't ask me why. To list my all time favorite TV show would reveal my true age! Let's put it this way, it was in B&W.
Favorite Food: steamed Japanese rice, followed by Monapua, Malasdas, Spam and egg breakfast maki sushi rolls, raw Hawaiian line-caught Ahi with soy sauce and wasabi, Porterhouse steak with those canned fried onions, garden ripe tomatoes with fresh mozzerella chesse, cracked black pepper, balsamic and EVOO...and just about everything else....
All-time favorite beverage: 100 percent pure Kona Coffee-- not the blend, a really good Italian Valpolicella, or a bottle of Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame Champagne...( Oh and I'm really starting to like Fat Tire, hummmm.)
Book: "The Artist Way" by Julia Cameron
Website I Like: mine of course www.jksportsphoto.zoomshare.com www.joechefstudios.zoomshare.com, also reknown Colorado Springs based sports photographer Dave Black daveblackphotography.com
Who would I like to met: David Hume Kennerly (Pulitzer Prize winning photojournalist and former White House photographer during the Ford admin.)
Favorite Salida Hangout: Bongo Billy's Salida Cafe...especially outside by the Arkansas River..when there's live music, sunshine and a light breeze... cold beverage...that's living Brah!
First Radio Gig: KCHO in Chico, Ca, College station where I decided it would be cool to get up at 5 a.m. to be the guy who got the station powered up each day and do the morning show...bad idea as a college student...I did get to play "RECORDS!"
What's on your refridgerator door? nothing...it's not magnetic...On the side, well, that's a different story...
If I had to leave the house in a flash: I really had to think about this living on the Washington coast with the threat of a tsunami all the time...We had a small survial pack in the Jeep all the time. Let's see...Ok, get Wife, Dog, grab my cameras, all the disks filled with thousands of images, important papers, make sure I had something on besides underwear, get wallet, keys, and my L.L. Bean ball cap with the battery powered lights built-in to the bill ... I know I'm forgetting something!
Guilty Pleasure: pure Tahitian vanilla bean ice cream
Pet Peeve: how do I narrow this down to one? OK, People who are driving through town, talking on their cell phone, munching a Big Mac, trying to shut their door while tuning the radio, yelling at their kids in the back seat of the mini van as their stupid little dog is sits in their lap drooling on the side view mirror and helping steer!
Favorite Group: Tower of Power...these are my boyz...East Bay grease, yo. Tight funk with a killer horn section...they still hit a grove. Plus any Jawaiian (Hawaiian Reggae) artists, like Marty Dread.
Pets: The Lillie-Meister-Dog-Miss-Thing
I knew I was an adult when: I'm not sure....When does THAT happen????
Favorite magazine: ok it's a toss-up...4 Wheel Drive and Sport Utility, American Photographer, Shortline and Narrow Gauge Gazette, or Model Railroader
I feel strongly about: food being seasoned properly.... REALLY cold beer... Wiping water spots and smuges from my wine glass before bringing it to me in a restaurant...People not acting like idiots... and that God is in total control, it's just a lot of people don't know it yet.
You'd be surprised to know that: I trained 3 years in an European-style chef apprenticeship and worked for nearly 15 years as a professional chef and yes, I own a pair of red kitchen clogs.I also was a drummer in a few bands back in the late 70s early 80s.
Favorite thing about living in the Upper Arkansas Valley: looking out my kitchen window and seeing the Rockies, looking out my back porch and seeing the foothills and knowing I can get in the high country to play within minutes....plus LOTS OF SUNSHINE (remember I just came from Washington).
I still can't believe: I'm as old as I am....it can't be over yet...I have too much to do!
On my "Bucket List": compete in the Tenderfoot Mountain Hill Climb during FIBArk (hahahahaha!!!!), have my kids and family all together in one spot for a major holiday. Write and publish a book. Eat a meal at the French Laundry in the Napa Valley. Do the voice over for an animated character in a cartoon show or movie.
Weirdest CD in my collection: "Truck Driver's Boogie: Big Rig Hits Vol. 1, 1939-1969", or... Rick Derringer's Smooth Jazz versions of his old Edgar Winter Group rock songs...like Rock-n-Roll Hoochi-coo and Frankinstein. weird but smooth.
Favorite U.S. City: Kona, Hawaii
I'm the best at: keeping totally busy and being tollay bored all at the same time.
My #1 hobby is: Writing people's names on tiny grains of rice at my booth at the county fair. It's amazing, only $5. See for yourself! Use the magnifier!

|Ligation of TLR2 by versican: a link between inflammation and metastasis.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 19608024 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Versican, a large extracellular matrix proteoglycan, accumulates both in tumor stroma and cancer cells. It participates in cell adhesion, migration, and angiogenesis, all features of invasion and metastasis. However, the mechanism(s) whereby versican promotes cancer invasion and metastasis is not yet fully understood. A recent study has documented that versican can activate tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells through toll-like receptor (TLR) 2 and its co-receptors TLR6 and CD14 and elicit the production of proinflammatory cytokines including TNF-alpha that enhance tumor metastasis. As both resident fibroblasts and endothelial cells (ECs) also express functional TLR2 and its co-receptors, we hypothesized that, in addition to myeloid cells, versican may trigger the activation of both fibroblasts and ECs. Of interest, TLR2-mediated activation of EC and fibroblast has been observed to increase the secretion of interleukin-8, a proinflammatory CXC chemokine that potentiates neutrophil infiltration and angiogenesis, as well as metastatic growth. Ligation of TLR2 by versican appears to be directly involved in the activation of multiple types of cells in tumor stroma and the induction of inflammatory cytokine secretion, providing a link between inflammation and cancer metastasis. Accordingly, antagonists of versican and TLR2 restrain the activation of tumor stromal cells, which may offer a novel approach to cancer therapy by targeting tumor microenvironment.

Eight days before the election President Obama turned up on "Morning Joe" to propose creating a new cabinet post: a "Secretary of Business." Well, that's not particularly surprising.
The campaign is close, and Mitt Romney is out at event after event saying that his sterling experience in business gives him the knowledge of how to help business to recover and start hiring.
Obama's understanding of business ranges from infinitesimal to non-existent, as he has demonstrated effectively for four years. So why isn't the answer a new department consolidating stuff like the Small Business Administration and placed in the hands of a genuine expert, like maybe somebody from a business school, to help business to develop entrepreneurs, helping with exports, trade policies. Should be a winner, shouldn't it?
commerce (kom′ ars) n. The buying and selling of goods, especially on a large scale, as between cities or nations. business; trade.
The U.S. Secretary of Commerce was Gary Locke, who was appointed Ambassador to China, who was followed by John E. Bryson, who resigned for medical reasons, and the current Acting Secretary of Commerce is Rebecca Blank.
Wikipedia says the U.S. Department of Commerce is the Cabinet department of the U.S. government concerned with promoting economic growth. The mission of the department is to "promote job creation and improved living standards… It has 43,880 employees (2011). Texas Gov. Rick Perry recommended eliminating it along with Education and Energy. Wikipedia has a long sector on "Reorganization proposals." As economic growth keeps declining, perhaps the federal government does not possess the expertise they think they do.
No one seems to know what the agency does, but the problems that afflict U.S. business are not the result of the absence of a Department of Business, but rather the presence of too much government interference, too much government regulation, too much government taxation, uncertainty over the mandates of ObamaCare, new environmental regulations, new overcriminalization, and the simple fact that government just keeps getting bigger and more interfering.
Administration actions to force public acceptance of alternate fuels have raised the cost of energy sharply, which means everything costs more. And our corporate taxes are the highest in the industrial world. Obama seems not to have noticed. The president does not understand profit, and seems in general to be opposed to it, as are many in his administration. The burden that ObamaCare places on business seems to be little-understood, and the resulting low growth and high unemployment are not understood as natural consequences of that burden.
Perhaps we should enlist someone who actually does understand the needs of business.
Filed under: Capitalism, Democrat Corruption, Economy, Progressivism | Tags: American Business, Dan Henninger, Liberal lies, Obama's Dreams
President Obama spoke yesterday to the Business Roundtable. Businesses could use a pep talk. Janet Yellen, President of the San Francisco Fed, speaks of a jobless recovery with no economic recovery until 2013.
The Wall Street Journal's Daniel Henninger notes that:
…instead of giving a speech about reviving business confidence in the economy, Mr. Obama gave a speech about reviving business confidence in him.
The previous evening, Mr. Obama held a small dinner for some CEOs from really big business, such as AT&T, Xerox, State Farm, Verizon, PepsiCo, and GE. The White House has concluded that it is wrongly seen as antibusiness. Henninger says:
I agree. This White House is pro-business. In fact , it's so pro-business it's proposing a virtual merger with the private sector. Ladies and gentlemen of the business community, meet your new partner — Uncle Sam.
Answers, Mr. Henninger says, hark back to Obama's first budget statement— "A New Era of Responsibility."
"A New Era of Responsibility" describes the years before Mr. Obama as "an era of profound irresponsibility that engulfed both private and public institutions." From this emerged the two core themes of the Obama presidency.
The first is that "government," which Mr. Obama identifies as "we," must "transform our economy for the 21st Century." Thus, the now-familiar initiatives on carbon auctions, a green-jobs economy, and health care. "At this particular moment," Mr. Obama said a year ago, "government must lead the way." This isn't just an antirecession patch, but something new and permanent. …
He is proposing that the U.S. government both guide the economy ("the right balance between the private and public sectors," he said yesterday) and do so with a new, aggressively redistributive tax policy, which was made explicit in his just-released budget. Guide and redistribute.
Charles Krauthammer explained today that Obama "believes ideologically in this deeply. Obama sees himself as a world-historical figure, not just as the first African-American president, but, like Reagan, a man who changed history. He wants to be the father of national health care."
Obama said today: "I am an ardent believer in the free market." Uh huh.

Michelle Fisher at left and Kathy Fleury rehearse their solos for the upcoming concert.
- Filed Under
The Fond du Lac Area United Singers will give a concert at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 20 at the First Presbyterian Church, located at 1224 Fourth Street Road.
The choir started in February 1994 with six members and now features 45 individuals. Their first concert was at the opening of the Very Special Arts of Wisconsin, featuring permanent art that was produced by persons with disabilities and held at the Fond du Lac Public Library, "Our choir was connected with Very Special Arts and the Kennedy Center. Funding was provided by G and L, International Paper and Round Table. We practiced at Theisen JHS," said choir member Diane Fricken.
In the beginning, the choir was directed by Elizabeth Pupeter, a music therapist and accompanied by Marian Simmons. The choir performed more than 50 shows.
"(They) brought out the best in each of us," said Fricken. "One member of the choir said 'I know why I work on reading so I can read the songs I am learning to sing.'"
The group also sang at the inauguration of Governor Tommy Thompson, and sang the national anthem twice at a Badger game.
"In July of 2013 we received letters saying that Very Special Arts would no longer sponsor the Fond du Lac Choir," said Fricken. "So we renamed ourselves the United Singers of the Fond du Lac area. We learn new songs and even how to use bells and instruments. Our director Diane Weigel helps us learn new music and increase our ability to understand musical terms and techniques. We are a family of singers and volunteers." At the upcoming concert, the group will be wearing their new uniform polo shirts, sporting their new name.
Fricken adds that the choir has lots of butterflies before a concert, but the more they practice and perform, the more their courage and pride takes over.
The group also performs at the Forest Mall during the Christmas season.
"What the choir means to each of us is hard to put into words. It is a group of challenged adults and dedicated volunteers and a gifted director Diane Weigel," said Fricken.
