Originally posted by Raj Ohadi: originally posted it in a wrong place, just found this forum -- In many document, it is recommeded to use unique system generated id as the PK for a table, for example CD (id, author, title) Track (id, cd_id, name, length) "Track" tables contains a"cd_id" to refer to "CD" table. As a newbie, I have a few questions, please bear with me -- 1. Create table. Suppose I use Oracle, when I create tables, besides theses two tables, do I have to manually create any other table in order to make these "id" be generated ?
Originally posted by Raj Ohadi: 2. Insert data -- Supose tables are created, if I want to do a regular insert of a row for Track, when I write my SQL, how do I know what's the "id" and "cd_id" ? Normally I just do "INSERT INTO TRACK VALUES("Gone with wind", 200)", but will this still work in this scenario ??
Originally posted by Raj Ohadi: 3. REgular SQL query, as an application user I have no idea about the value of "id" and "cd_id" for rows in the tables, so does the regular query "SELECT * from CD, TRACK where CD.id = TRACK.cd_id and CD.arthor = "Steve"" still work (i.e. still query by regular attributes and just use the unique id for joining) ? Thanks.
Originally posted by Raj Ohadi: Paul, bear with me for one more stupid question -- TRACK table includes "cd_id", when I actually insert a row to TRACK, what I know is "name" and "length", and the "author" who publishes the CD, but I do NOT know that "cd_id" assciated with that "author". So when I insert into TRACK table how do I handle the value of "cd_id", should I first "select cd_id from CD where author = 'steve'", then use this value for "cd_id" when I do insert for TRACK ? Sounds not convenient, any good way to handle it ? Thanks.

Award for Projects of Social Benefit
Congratulations to John Gilmore and the Internet Archive, winners of the 2009 Free Software Awards
The Free Software Foundation has announced the winners of its 2009 Free Software Awards: John Gilmore (Advancement of Free Software Award) and the Internet Archive (Project of Social Benefit Award).
Last year Creative Commons won the Project of Social Benefit Award. As we noted then, many past free software award winners have been important participants in free culture as well — and free software is both an inspiration for and girds the freedom of the network and application layers needed for free culture to thrive.
This year's winners continue in that fashion, even more than past winners. John Gilmore's work in free software and free software business inspires, while his work as a co-founder of the Electronic Frontier Foundation girds many freedoms that the knowledge layer relies upon. The Internet Archive was the most important digital repository for free cultural materials before Creative Commons existed and has been a crucial host for CC-licensed works since Creative Commons launched.
Congratulations and thanks to John Gilmore, the Internet Archive, and the Free Software Foundation.1 Comment »
Creative Commons wins the 2008 Free Software Foundation Award for Project of Social Benefit!
Saturday at Libre Planet, the Free Software Foundation's annual conference, Creative Commons was honored to receive the FSF's Award for Projects of Social Benefit:
The FSF Award for Projects of Social Benefit is presented annually to a project that intentionally and significantly benefits society by applying free software, or the ideas of the free software movement, in a project that intentionally and significantly benefits society in other aspects of life.
Since its launch in 2001, Creative Commons has worked to foster a growing body of creative, educational and scientific works that can be shared and built upon by others. Creative Commons has also worked to raise awareness of the harm inflicted by increasingly restrictive copyright regimes.
Creative Commons vice president Mike Linksvayer accepted the award saying, "It's an incredible honor. Creative Commons should be giving an award to the Free Software Foundation and Richard Stallman, because what Creative Commons is doing would not be possible without them."
Congratulations also to Wietse Venema, honored with the Award for the Advancement of Free Software for his "significant and wide-ranging technical contributions to network security, and his creation of the Postfix email server."
FSF president Stallman presented a plaque by artist Lincoln Read commemorating the award to Creative Commons.
It is worth noting that the FSF Social Benefit Award's 2005 and 2007 winners are Wikipedia and Groklaw both because it is tremendous to be in their company and as the former is in the process of migrating to a CC BY-SA license (thanks in large part to the FSF) and the latter publishes under a CC BY-NC-ND license.
Only last December CC was honored to receive an award from another of computing's most significant pioneers, Doug Engelbart.
Thanks again to the Free Software Foundation and Richard Stallman. Please join us in continuing to celebrate the 25th anniversary of his founding of the free software movement. As Stallman would say, "Happy Hacking!"Comments Off on Creative Commons wins the 2008 Free Software Foundation Award for Project of Social Benefit!

|Impact of person-centered planning and collaborative documentation on treatment adherence.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23280459 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|OBJECTIVE Tailoring service planning to clients' personal life goals, or person-centered planning, has emerged as a recovery-oriented practice. This study examined the impact of person-centered planning and collaborative documentation on service engagement and medication adherence within community mental health centers (CMHCs). METHODS Ten CMHCs were assigned randomly to receive training in person-centered planning and collaborative documentation or provide usual treatment. Medication adherence and service engagement were measured for 11 months (May 2009-March 2010) for 367 clients. Models compared changes in medication adherence and service engagement among clients of CMHCs in the control and experimental conditions. RESULTS Medication adherence increased significantly at CMHCs in the experimental condition (B=.022, p≤.01) but showed no significant change at CMHCs in the control condition (B=.004, p=.25). Appointment no-shows at CMHCs in the experimental condition were reduced (odds ratio=.74, p=.001). CONCLUSIONS Person-centered planning and collaborative documentation were associated with greater engagement in services and higher rates of medication adherence.

Bush Stands Alone
Defying Congress, the press, and the Washington establishment.
Jan 22, 2007, Vol. 12, No. 18 • By FRED BARNES
There's a simple reason the Washington establishment, Democrats, and the press hate President Bush's new strategy in Iraq: He spurned their advice. He ordered a troop increase, not the first phase of a withdrawal. He didn't echo Democrats like Senator Joe Biden and suggest the war in Iraq is lost. The thrust of his nationally televised speech last week was that we can still win. He mostly rejected the findings of the Iraq Study Group. And he refused--in fact, he's emphatically opposed--to engage Iran and Syria in talks. Nor did he go along with calls to abandon democracy as the fundamental goal of his foreign policy in Iraq and elsewhere in the Middle East.
This was a major snub by Bush, a big-time thumbing of his nose at his critics and even at some of those who have advised him. It was the contrarian Bush in action again, much as he was in his first term--only he's less popular now. But he's still willing to go it alone as president. Republicans on Capitol Hill, normally his allies, are "nervous," a Bush aide says. "They're skittish," says another aide. Democrats, of course, are opposed to the president's plan with a fury and indignation that comes with knowing that public opinion is running their way on Iraq.
In embracing a new counter insurgency plan in Iraq that calls for an additional 20,000-plus American troops in Baghdad and in Anbar province, Bush took a step he'd hoped to avoid. He publicly disagreed with his generals. The president is especially fond of General George Casey, the commander on the ground in raq. He invited Casey and his family to a meal at the White House last year, partly to size him up by seeing how he interacted with his wife and kids. In September, he told conservative journalists he was totally confident in Casey's advice. "If Casey is wrong, I'm wrong," he said.
Now he's decided Casey and Centcom commander John Abizaid were wrong in their reluctance to deploy more troops and change the military mission in Iraq, particularly in Baghdad. They favored a "small footprint" by American troops whose chief assignment was to train the Iraqi army to take charge. This, in turn, would allow American soldiers to begin coming home. Instead, Bush has changed to a counterinsurgency strategy with American troops more visible, more involved in combat, and assigned, first and foremost, to secure the Iraqi capital.
Historical analogies are inviting here, but the removal of Casey and Abizaid was not quite the same as President Lincoln's firing of General George McClellan in the Civil War. Casey will become Army chief of staff and Abizaid was about to retire anyway. But there is one strong similarity: Casey and Abizaid weren't winning. So Bush has brought in new commanders, notably General David Petraeus, the Army's top counterinsurgency expert. Petraeus's job is to be Bush's Ulysses Grant.
Some Republicans were disappointed in the president's speech. They wanted a rousing address that would electrify the public, spur support for victory in Iraq, and ease the war's political drain on Republicans. But Bush spoke to a camera in the White House library and, as an aide says, he "doesn't deliver good speeches in that forum. . . . There was some deflation with it." Besides, the speech was designed to explain the president's change of plans, not stir passions.
Bush was more outspoken and forceful in private sessions with more than 130 members of Congress in recent weeks and in a briefing for TV anchors on the day of the speech. Many members weren't convinced by Bush, but Mike Pence, a conservative leader among House Republicans, was persuaded to back the Bush plan. "I went in biased against a troop surge," Pence says. "What I heard was that it wasn't simply a troop surge" but also a change in strategy and the rules of engagement.
As he and other House members met with Bush in the Cabinet Room, Pence pointed to a portrait of George Washington on the wall, noting that Washington was chosen by Congress as commander in chief in the Revolutionary War and that military operations were assigned to him alone. Today, Pence said, the Constitution requires that military strategy be left to Bush. Pence quoted Bush as saying, "We don't need a plan to redeploy. . . . I want to redeploy, just not right now. We need to win. . . . I've decided not to fail. We're not going to fail."
Chris Shays, a moderate Republican from Connecticut, needed no persuading. He took umbrage when another Republican recounted for Bush the skepticism of many of his congressional colleagues. "He took it personally," a White House official said. Shays had stuck to his support for the Iraq war during a tough reelection fight (while urging a timetable for withdrawal). "Wait a minute," the other Republican said. "I'm just passing on what I've heard." Shays is advising Republicans to stick with Bush. "We've finally got a policy that has a chance of success."

County Executive Owens Announces Financial Support Continues for Adult Drug Treatment Court
Annapolis, MD (September 11, 2006) - Anne Arundel County Executive Janet S. Owens announced a $90,000 grant has been awarded to the Anne Arundel County Circuit Court's "Adult Drug Treatment Court" program. The program oversees criminal offenders currently on supervised probation with intense supervision and treatment services.
"We know the drug treatment courts are successful in helping both adults and juveniles in the County," said County Executive Owens. "This grant will help to ensure the Adult Drug Treatment Court will continue for a second year in Anne Arundel County."
A drug court team, made up of eight members from various County agencies, meets weekly to discuss the offender's progress and reviews each case prior to the offender appearing before Judge Michael E. Loney bi-monthly.
The "Adult Drug Treatment Court" has been working to reduce substance abuse and recidivism among offenders since last December. Other goals of the Anne Arundel County Drug Court include:
The grant was awarded by the Governor's Office of Crime Control and Prevention and will fund the program by supporting a clinical case manager, addiction specialist, supplies and treatment services for participants enrolled in the program.

PASADENA, Calif. (February 14, 2014) Scientists say they have solved the mystery of the "jelly doughnut" rock on Mars that appeared to have come out of nowhere.
NASA said Friday that a wheel of the rover Opportunity broke the rock off a larger rock and then kicked it into the field of view.
The Internet was abuzz last month after the space agency released side-by-side images of the same patch of ground.
Only one image showed the rock, which was white around the outside and dark red in the middle, and less than 2 inches wide.
Scientists suspected that one of Opportunity's wheels kicked the rock as it drove, and they received confirmation after analyzing recent images of the original piece of rock.
Opportunity recently marked 10 years on Mars.
Its twin, Spirit, stopped communicating in 2010.

Farah collapses after raceComment on this story
Double Olympic champion Mo Farah collapsed after crossing the finish line in the New York half-marathon, having recovered from a fall earlier in the race to finish second to Kenyan Geoffrey Mutai.
Farah fell to the ground shortly after completing the race and was taken away from the finishing area in a wheelchair but later took to Twitter to allay fears for his health.
"Hi guys... I'm doing ok... thanks for the concern... disappointed with today... I gave 110%... couldn't do any more... sorry guys....," he said on his Twitter account.
The Briton, who won the same half-marathon in 2011, endured a tough run after taking a painful fall after five miles. He recovered to finish in 61 minutes 50 seconds - 18 seconds behind Mutai.
Farah, who won the 5,000m and 10,000m golds at the 2012 Olympics, is preparing to run his first full marathon in London in April.
Mutai's countryman Stephen Sambu finished third to round off a good day for Kenya in New York, with their compatriot Sally Kipyego winning the women's event. – Reuters

About Me
I am a board-certified medical oncologist specializing in cancers that arise in the lungs. Although my special interests are small cell lung cancer and neuroendocrine tumors of the lung (pulmonary carcinoids), I also care for a large number of patients with non-small cell lung cancer. With my colleagues on the Thoracic Oncology Service, I conduct clinical trials of new treatments for patients with these malignancies.
I feel my research provides my patients with additional options for care by using the latest information about the molecular basis of these diseases. For example, we collect special cells in the blood (circulating tumor cells) to more precisely and more quickly determine the effectiveness of chemotherapy treatment in men and women with small cell lung cancer.
I also conduct research designed to make clinical trials more efficient. The sooner we know a treatment is working, the quicker we can share this good news. In cases where treatments are not helping, we can switch to a different treatment with a better chance of benefit. Using new computer and scanning technologies designed at Memorial Hospital, we can collect a patient's symptoms and side effects along with medical information and radiographic (imaging) response in one secure database through the internet. This system allows us to better determine if new combinations of cancer drugs show sufficient promise to merit further testing in persons with lung cancer.
Surgeons and radiation oncologists work closely with me to care for patients with neuroendocrine tumors of the lung. We strive to use all resources available to get the best results for our patients with this disease.

Effective Work Is Like Effective Sleep. Most Managers Ignore This.
April 5, 2011
Here is a 15-minute TED video that every manager on earth should not only view, he should implement its three recommendations. This won't happen, of course.
My original employer, Leonard E. Read, honored the third rule. This made the organization productive. It was non-profit.
My second employer also honored it: Lou Carabini. This was a profit-seeking firm. I worked on commission.
My third employer, R. J. Rushdoony, honored it.
My fourth, Ron Paul, honored it. That was Ron Paul. He did not manage at all. His was the only Congressional staff without an administrative assistant. We got a lot done, with no training from anyone.
My fifth was Howard Ruff. He honored it.
Then I went 100% on my own. I honored the rule when I was an employer.
In short, I have never worked full time for any organization that did not decentralize responsibility to its idea people. I have always been on my own to this extent.
Most companies do not honor this rule. This opens up opportunities for those few that do honor it.

On a rain-soaked weekend in 1969, John Shelley and a friend left the Jersey shore and rode eight hours on Triumph motorcycles loaded with saddle bags of food and camping gear.
On the radio, they'd heard about a music festival among the Catskills in upstate New York.
They were among more than 400,000 who flocked to a 600-acre dairy farm in Bethel, N.Y., for the Woodstock Music and Art Fair -- "three days of peace and music."
"It just went viral -- like things do these days on YouTube," said Shelley, now 60 and owner of a nursery in Hopewell Township.
The outdoor festival on Aug. 15-18, 1969, helped to identify and define a generation of rag-tag hippies, budding rock stars and the baby boomer generation.
"We thought we were all individual, scattered hippies," David Crosby of Crosby, Stills and Nash later told Rolling Stone.
"We flew in there by helicopter and saw the New York Thruway at a dead stop for 20 miles and a gigantic crowd of at least half a million people."
Woodstock certainly didn't change the world, said Joel Makower, who wrote "Woodstock: The Oral History." But it captured the innovative culture, the values and the overall sensibilities of "where we were in 1969," he said.
"Woodstock should have been a disaster in terms of who came together, who showed up and what took place over the weekend. The ingredients were there for massive unrest, deaths and just a really bad scene," Makower said.
"The fact that none of that transpired is a testament to the humanity and ingenuity of the people there. The producers, as well as the audience."
In 1969, Shelley was a 19-year-old college student in tie-dye and bell bottoms with hair to his shoulders and a Fu Manchu mustache. He and his friend, Tony, purchased tickets at the gate -- $24 for three days -- and set up camp one or two miles from the amphitheater.
They locked sleeping bags, backpacks and coolers inside a four-man tent. They chained the motorcycles to a tree and hitched a ride on the back of a 17-foot box truck up the long road to the main concert area.
Inside was Jimi Hendrix and his band.
"We declined a jug of wine they were passing around with acid or mescaline floating in it. 'No thanks,'" Shelley said.
A lifelong Boy Scout, Shelley had packed multiple U.S. Army canteens for water, 12-inch bowie knives for protection and flint and steel for fire starting. He and Tony had also picked up bags of junk food on the road, so they avoided shelling out money for the $20 burgers or $17 hot dogs hocked by merchants.
Other conditions the concert-goers couldn't plan for. The 1,500 port-a-johns were hardly adequate for a crowd of 400,000. The crowd undulated like a living sea of bodies, separating groups of friends who weren't paying attention. After drenching rains, the fields pooled with mud and puddles. Shelley and Tony braved the wet with ponchos and plastic tarps.
They met "two nice New Jersey girls," with whom they spent their days and nights, mostly acting as protectors from the "prevalent wackos on drugs," Shelley said.
"We weren't into that stuff," he said. "It was the music we came for."
Crosby Stills and Nash, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Richie Havens, Sweetwater, Melanie, Arlo Guthrie, Ravi Shankar, Joan Baez, the Keef Hartley Band, Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Janice Joplin, Joe Cocker, Jefferson Airplane, The Who, Sha-Na-Na, Jimi Hendrix, 10 Years After.
Shelley used binoculars to see the stage from his seat on the rim of a sloping hill.
"I used my Sears Mastercard to buy all this stuff. It paid off -- we could see them picking their guitars with their fingers," he said.
"Little did we know that lots of the ones who played at Woodstock would be dead within five years."
Some notable bands declined to participate in the festival, including The Doors, Jethro Tull, Moody Blues, Tommy James and Bob Dylan.
Max Yasgur, the dairy farmer who provided the land, addressed the crowd on the festival's last day:
"You have proven something to the world ... that half a million kids can get together for fun and music and have nothing but fun and music."
A weary Shelley and his crew left around 2 or 3 p.m. after Hendrix finished his set.
Security officials reported at least two deaths at Woodstock and 4,000 people treated for injuries, illness and adverse drug reactions during the three days, according to the New York Times.
The festival's chief medical officer, Dr. William Abruzzi, told a reporter, "These people are really beautiful. There has been no violence whatsoever, which is really remarkable for a crowd of this size."
Shelley and friends stopped at Howard Johnson's hotel in Parsippany, N.J. , to shower, launder some clothes and take the ladies home.
Back at his parents', Shelley told them, "Yeah, we had a good time at the shore." Then he slept for three days.
The next month, Shelley headed back to Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, with raucous tunes still running through his head.
"I think Woodstock served a purpose in that it got people's minds off the war, the killings at Kent State, the body bags and the general anger that was going around the country," he said.
"Woodstock is a great memory. It's a part of Americana. I'm glad I was there."
Other Woodstock memoriesJeffrey Huenke, 60, of York
I rode up to Woodstock on a motorcycle. I wasn't at Woodstock actually on that (first) day because we were redirected to Max Yasgur's farm. By the second day, the authorities were letting people out but not letting them back in.
There were a lot of people there in the mud, and a lot had no food. There were some farmhouses there where the people were selling good, fresh water. . . .
People if they went out for food they couldn't come back. Most people who were there were in small groups. I would take these people one at a time -- I found a route through the woods to a supermarket and back through the woods, and then showed it to a few other bikers.
We would take one person from a group, they would get their food, and we would bring them back through.
. . . What really happened (at Woodstock) is community. It was nearly half a million people, and the same number of people who died as were born over that short period of time. That's not bad for a . . . relatively peaceful (event). . . .
Of course, it was about music, but it was about community. . . .
People say the hippie thing failed. Well, it didn't. The hippie thing was beaten by the people who wanted to beat it. That's what we have today. People who wanted to choose community, did, and that's what we did on those few days.
David Barton, 54, of York
I was a very young man, and I remember setting up a time with my friends to go to Woodstock.
I think we were around 12 or so. We were too young to be traveling. We got about halfway there, and we got lost with an older friend driving.
But just the idea of going to something like this was very exciting for us. And then to see it on film and to see the documentary and to have the option to see Jimi Hendrix after the Woodstock event and the Grateful Dead and some of the other great groups that were there -- it's a memory that I'll never forget.
Woodstock seemed to open up something in our musical lives, in our creativity, in our thoughts as a generation. We felt it was important for some reason we didn't know.
I think it's something we should remember and for more than just a concert. It was more of an awakening for people.

|Population trends in the incidence and outcomes of acute myocardial infarction.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20558366 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND: Few studies have characterized recent population trends in the incidence and outcomes of myocardial infarction. METHODS: We identified patients 30 years of age or older in a large, diverse, community-based population who were hospitalized for incident myocardial infarction between 1999 and 2008. Age- and sex-adjusted incidence rates were calculated for myocardial infarction overall and separately for ST-segment elevation and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Patient characteristics, outpatient medications, and cardiac biomarker levels during hospitalization were identified from health plan databases, and 30-day mortality was ascertained from administrative databases, state death data, and Social Security Administration files. RESULTS: We identified 46,086 hospitalizations for myocardial infarctions during 18,691,131 person-years of follow-up from 1999 to 2008. The age- and sex-adjusted incidence of myocardial infarction increased from 274 cases per 100,000 person-years in 1999 to 287 cases per 100,000 person-years in 2000, and it decreased each year thereafter, to 208 cases per 100,000 person-years in 2008, representing a 24% relative decrease over the study period. The age- and sex-adjusted incidence of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction decreased throughout the study period (from 133 cases per 100,000 person-years in 1999 to 50 cases per 100,000 person-years in 2008, P<0.001 for linear trend). Thirty-day mortality was significantly lower in 2008 than in 1999 (adjusted odds ratio, 0.76; 95% confidence interval, 0.65 to 0.89). CONCLUSIONS: Within a large community-based population, the incidence of myocardial infarction decreased significantly after 2000, and the incidence of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction decreased markedly after 1999. Reductions in short-term case fatality rates for myocardial infarction appear to be driven, in part, by a decrease in the incidence of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and a lower rate of death after non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.

"These new initiatives will help to create new jobs while allowing the
U.S. to maintain its scientific leadership and economic competitiveness ,"
said Secretary Steven Chu. "The projects provide vital funding and new
tools for research aimed at strengthening America's energy security and
tackling some of science's toughest challenges."
Among the new approved projects are:
Of the $327 million in Recovery Act funding announced today, $107.5 million
is slated to go to universities, nonprofit organizations, and private firms,
generally on a competitive, peer-reviewed basis. The remaining $220 million
will go to U.S. Department of Energy National Laboratories for a range of research,
instrumentation, and infrastructure projects, including $164.7 million for projects
already allocated as follows:
In March Secretary Chu announced $1.2 billion in DOE Office of Science Recovery
Act projects. In July, DOE announced a new Office of Science Early Career Research
Program to be funded with $85 million in Recovery Act funds. With this third
and final round of projects, the Obama Administration has now approved projects
covering the full $1.6 billion that the DOE Office of Science received from
Congress under the Recovery Act.

The Raptor
Resource Project
PO Box 16
Decorah, IA 52101
Amy Ries
The Raptor Resource Project (RRP) is a 501(c)3 foundation located in Decorah, Iowa. Founded in 1988, the Project's original goal was to captively breed and release the endangered Peregrine falcon, which was at that time on the brink of extinction. In the early 1940s Joseph Hickey, a Wisconsin biologist, determined that there were more than 200 pairs of Peregrines east of the Mississippi River. But by 1968 there were no Peregrines east of the Mississippi river at all. By the mid-1970s, the population had dwindled to 19 pairs in the western United States.
Peregrines did not return to the mid-continent until 1987 when MF-1, a falcon produced by Raptor Resource Project Director Bob Anderson, fledged three young from the Multifoods Tower in Minneapolis. Over the next twelve years, the population expanded from one nesting female in Minnesota to an estimated 28 pairs in Minnesota, 13 pairs in Wisconsin, and three pairs in Iowa. During this time, the Project produced between 15-25 Peregrines per year for release in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan, New York, Alabama, and many other states, and expanded into raptor management, environmental education, and research.

A Department of Defense employee and self-proclaimed "Godfather" of construction contracts at California's Camp Pendleton has been charged with extorting bribes for contracts, federal prosecutors announced.
Natividad "Nate" Lara Cervantes, 64, of San Diego, was arrested Thursday (March 28) on federal bribery charges, Daphne Hearn, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI San Diego Field Office, announced Monday (April 1).
Calling himself the "Godfather at Camp Pendleton," Cervantes is accused of using his position as supervisor of Camp Pendleton's Construction and Service Contracts Inspection Branch to extort bribes from businesses seeking to do business at the Marine base.
Natividad "Nate" Cervantes is accused of extorting bribes for contracts at Camp Pendleton in California.
Bugged and Busted
Cervantes was arrested after accepting $10,000 cash from an FBI cooperating witness at a business in San Diego. The money was a partial payment of a $40,000 bribe, officials said.
Earlier in the week, on March 26, the witness met with Cervantes and agreed to pay him $40,000 in cash in exchange for help obtaining a $4 million flooring contract that was to be awarded at the base in 45 days.
The first payment of $20,000 was to be made to Cervantes on March 28, with the remaining $20,000 to be paid when the contract was awarded, the complaint said.
When the witness met with Cervantes to make his first payment, federal agents monitored the meeting and recorded the conversation with a buttonhole recording device worn by the witness.
During the meeting, the two discussed the payment schedule and the source of funds for the bribe payments, among other things, according to the FBI.
After receiving the envelope containing $10,000, Cervantes was arrested by federal agents and booked into the Metropolitan Correctional Center in San Diego.
Federal prosecutors arrested Cervantes after a cooperating witness gave him an envelope with $10,000 in cash as a partial payment for a bribe to receive a $4 million flooring contract at Camp Pendleton, officials said.
Cervantes appeared Monday before a U.S. Magistrate Judge. As of noon PT on Tuesday (April 2), the Metropolitan Correctional Center's inmate locator showed that he had not yet been released.
The cooperating witness, who was not identified, is under investigation for allegedly engaging in kickback schemes, making false statements on federal forms, and other crimes, the San Diego Union Tribune reported. According to the complaint, the witness cooperated with the investigation to receive more lenient treatment, the newspaper stated.
Years of Bribes
The complaint alleges that Cervantes has been using his position to extort bribes since September 2008. He allegedly received thousands of dollars in cash and remodeling work on his downtown San Diego condominium.
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of California, San Diego, is leading the prosecution. The investigation was conducted under the FBI's public corruption investigative program.
Investigating agencies in this matter are: Naval Criminal Investigative Services; Internal Revenue Service; Department of Defense Criminal Investigative Service; General Services Administration—Office of Inspector General; Small Business Administration—Office of Inspector General; and the FBI.

Mexico City feral dog killings open debate
MEXICO CITY (AP) — The fatal mauling of four people by feral dogs in a Mexico City park has set off debate about the city's love/hate relationship with its dog population, and about the guilt or innocence of 25 animals trapped near the scene of the killings.
Mexico City's mayor says the government will launch a new program to spay and neuter the thousands of dogs who wander the city. Animal advocates are calling for Mexico City residents to question a pet culture that often treats dogs as disposable.
Photos of the forlorn, skinny strays captured in the wooded, hilltop park where a woman, her baby and a teenage couple were killed in two separate incidents set off a Twitter campaign protesting their innocence and calling on Tuesday for authorities not to euthanize them.

Hearings and Business Meetings
411 West 8th Street, Medford, Oregon Medford City Council Chambers 12:00 PM
Tom Chamberlain
President, AFL-CIO
Before the
Subcommittee on
Hearing on the Impact of Chinese Hardwood Plywood Trade on the National Forest System and Other
May 30, 2007
Mr. Chairman. Thank you for taking the lead on this very important issue to workers in
First, this industry has a high job multiplier. Depending on the economic analysis you read, it is somewhere between four and six. This means that for every one person employed by the forest products industry, there are somewhere between four and six other Americans employed in support industries – such as logging, transportation, utility and retail – who rely on this industry for their jobs.
Second, these are the good manufacturing jobs that we should be striving to keep in the
Finally, these
As you mentioned in your opening statement, more than 70 percent of the companies in the hardwood plywood industry are headquartered in this state. There is no doubt that the future of this industry is of significant importance to
The timing of this hearing is very important, as it comes on the heels of last week's Strategic Economic Dialogue talks in
But this is quickly changing. Thanks to your efforts along with a few other Members of Congress, the reporting of a few news outlets and the attention of a handful of governmental and nongovernmental organizations, the country and the world are beginning to realize what the hardwood plywood industry and its workers have known for many years – the Chinese do not play by the rules and will do whatever is necessary to establish global dominance.
What makes Chinese actions even more worrisome is that they go to such great lengths to lure well paying, highly skilled manufacturing jobs that were formerly held by unionized workers in
Rather than recapping what the problems are, I would like to spend a few minutes of the Committee's time talking about some of the consequences of this activity.
Illegal Subsidies – Several studies have documented that the Chinese government has subsidized its forest products industry to the tune of nearly two billion dollars over a five-year period. Chinese mills are quickly becoming some of the most modern and efficient in the world, while American workers are forced to compete in older mills since the industry can no longer fund necessary improvements to keep them competitive. It doesn't take a MBA from Yale to understand the long term consequences.
Customs Issues – By mislabeling exports to avoid duties, the Chinese make it harder for
Fraudulent stamping and illegal logging – In recent years, American companies and consumers have become increasingly aware of the importance of sustainably harvested wood products. However, as the
Lack of reciprocal market access – While it remains fashionable for proponents of so-called "free trade" to claim that labor is opposed to trade, that is, of course, false. Organized labor supports trade as long as it is fair and the country we are trading with gives us reciprocal market access. When we lose access to such a quickly growing market, we lose access to one of the ways to grow our industry outside of
So what are the next steps?
We need to adopt the tactics of other groups that have begun to show some success in getting the Chinese government to act on issues such as
First, we need to put the
Moreover, steps that you and other Members of Congress have taken are just the first steps. Not only do we need to see the U.S. International Trade Commission complete its current investigation, but we need to see action from the Administration. Not only do we need more hearings on the Chinese forest products industry, but we also need Congress to revise the Lacey Act with the input of industry, labor and the environmental movement in order to help curb illegal logging.
Finally, we need to promote the fact that American wood products are harvested legally. This can happen in two ways. First, the wood products industry can promote their work so that Americans concerned about illegal logging know that the "Made in the
These are just the first steps. Much more needs to be done. The Oregon AFL-CIO looks forward to working with you in the future to find solutions to this problem.

One Dance with a Stranger by Mary M. Forbes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Whoever would have started a romance with a homeless girl sitting in an underpass and a down and out country singer stuck in jail? From such an unpromising situation, Emily and Wade find love despite their wounded hearts. Each must fight the demons of their past to learn to trust and bare their vulnerable souls.
Gripping, emotionally charged story. You'll be rooting for Emily and Wade despite the insinuations of Wade's brother who was bent on destroying their happiness.
Note: the version I read needed editing, but the author is in the process of uploading a corrected version. I can almost say it didn't distract me because the story was so compelling. 4.5 stars

Friday's agreement between Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk and the EU leaders was part of the pact that former President Viktor Yanukovych backed out of last November in favor of a $15 billion bailout from Russia. That decision sparked the protests that ultimately led to his downfall and flight last month, setting off one of Europe's worst political crises since the Cold War.
Russian forces took control of Crimea two weeks ago in the wake of Yanukovych's ouster and President Vladimir Putin this week annexed the strategically important Black Sea peninsula.

GE Carports
Inovateus and GE Energy Industrial Solutions collaborated to build a 100-kilowatt-hour solar carport, one of the largest structures of its kind. It can generate enough energy to offset the power needed to charge up to 13 electric vehicles per day as well as all the lighting in the parking lot.
In late 2011, GE Energy Industrial Solutions reached a partnership agreement to work with Inovateus Solar to build new solar carports with electric vehicle (EV) chargers. "We're very pleased to be able to forge this exciting partnership with Inovateus," said Luis Ramirez, CEO of GE Energy Industrial Solutions.
This innovative collaboration between Inovateus Solar and GE Energy features solar carport structures outfitted with GE EverGoldTM Solar components, GE EV chargers and GE electrical distribution equipment.
Today, this partnership brings the same turnkey solar carport solution to a multitude of facilities, including universities, municipalities, office buildings and sports complexes.
Turn ordinary parking lots into an opportunity to not only reduce energy costs, but also generate revenue from selling the excess energy generated by carport installations.

Hit successful chip shots!
Labels: Instruction, Quick Tips, Short Game, Chipping
|This Article Features Photo Zoom
Hitting successful chip shots from around the green requires a few basic fundamentals to understand. I think chipping is a little like putting, in that there's more than one right way to succeed. Some players like less hand and wrist movements, while other players like to feel some flex or play in the hands and wrists. Some like to open their stance, while others prefer a square stance. And on and on go the different ways to hit a chip, as it seems the ways to get the job done are endless.
That said, there happen to be two keys that I think are required to execute successful chips. The first is to understand where the majority of your weight should be during the stroke, and where the ball should be. I encourage my students to keep the majority of their weight on their left side, and play the ball in the middle-back of the stance. This ball-back/weight-forward combo does two things: It creates the necessary shaft lean toward the target, which then steepens your chipping stroke to prevent hitting the ground first before the ball. If you're too vertical with the shaft, you run the risk of hitting fat and thin shots, more often than you would with the ball back in your stance a little bit. Second, it makes it easier to control the trajectory and roll, helping you better dial in the right stroke length and distance for each chip.
A great way to feel this for yourself is to set up, shift your weight so it's predominantly on your left side (maybe a 65/35 split), and play the ball off your right toe. To know how far to lean the club forward, simply lay the club so the grip rests over your left thigh. That's where you should grip the club and play the shot.
