Tales of odd and unpredictable results coming out of product liability court cases are dime-a-dozen. This result is pushing to the limit of illogical: Carlos Osorio vs. One World Technologies Inc. et al.. This is the case where the court awarded the plaintiff $1.5 million because the tool manufacturer hadn't adopted the newest safety technology, despite the plaintiff's clear breach of common sense and safe practices in using the tool.
The accident happened on April 19, 2005, and the table saw Osorio was using was a Ryobi BTS 15, which was purchased at Home Depot on Jan. 10, 2005, for $159. At the time of the accident Osorio may have been employed at that company for two months; however, this is not clear, according to a deposition by Phat Vong, who purchased tools for the flooring company Osorio worked for.
Osorio is from Colombia, has a degree in computer science and was installing flooring as he learned English. At the time of the accident, he was trying to make a rip cut on a 2′-long, 2-1/2″-wide by 3/4″-thick piece of oak flooring, according to court records. He was attempting to cut the board "freehand" without the rip fence, according to the documents. Osorio intended to make a cut in a straight line all the way through the board. He had cut only a small portion of the workpiece when it got stuck at the blade. Osorio immediately experienced chattering and felt vibration in the workpiece. He stopped cutting and cleaned the tabletop. He then attempted to make the same cut again but the chattering continued, and he decided to push the board harder. His left hand then slipped into the spinning saw blade, according to court documents.
The saw blade height above the tabletop was set to approximately 3″ — at or near the maximum elevation, and the guarding system was not installed on the saw during the operation, documents state. The table saw was on the floor, Osorio was kneeling on one leg in front of the table saw, and his body was just to the left of the saw blade, according to a motion filed by Osorio's lawyers.
For those of you who don't know woodworking tools, a table saw is not something you can casually use in the same way you might use a hand drill or a sander. It's a stationary tool with a long history of injuring the careless or unwary user: the act of pushing a piece of wood into a rapidly spinning serrated metal blade requires care and attention to avoid injuring yourself or nearby workers.
Carlos Osorio managed to do just about everything to increase the risk of injury. He removed the safety devices that are there specifically to prevent the kind of injury he sustained. He clearly didn't understand the risks of what he was doing, and he was operating the saw in an unstable position. The only way he could have been in greater danger of injury is if he was intoxicated or blindfolded.
The only reason the saw's manufacturer was the defendant in this case is the "deep pockets" theory of legal practice: don't sue the responsible party (in this case, the employer who clearly failed to train Osorio in the safe use of the tool), sue the richest person or organization even peripherally involved in the case.

(NEWSCHANNEL 3) - As of 5AM Monday morning power has been restored for nearly 5,000 customers.An Indiana-Michigan Power transmission line serving four Cooperative substations went down around 7 p.m. Sunday.Areas most heavily impacted included Mattawan, Prairie Ronde, Schoolcraft, Lawton, Vicksburg and Kalamazoo.Midwest Energy is a distribution utility. Power is delivered to cooperative substations by transmission providers, and Midwest distributes the power from the substations over the distribution system to its members."It's frustrating to be at the mercy of another provider when our members are impacted, but it's the nature of our infrastructure. We were limited in what we knew and what we could do to help because it's not our line and not our crews. We're thankful to know that everyone is back up again," said Mike Roush, Vice President of Operations.What caused the transmission line to go down is still under investigation.Power outage in Kalamazoo and Van Buren Counties

Why did G-d ask Avraham to sacrifice and slaughter his son?
Literally, he didn't ask him to slaughter him, just to bring him up on the alter as a sacrifice.
The whole thing was a test of faith whether he would listen to Gd with a good heart for such a painful test.

|Urinary stone detection and characterisation with dual-energy CT urography after furosemide intravenous injection: preliminary results.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 24081647 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|OBJECTIVES: To investigate the added advantage of IV furosemide injection and the subsequent urine dilution in the detection of urinary calculi in the excretory phase of dual-source dual-energy (DE) computed tomography (CT) urography, and to investigate the feasibility of characterising the calculi through diluted urine.
METHODS: Twenty-three urinary calculi were detected in 116 patients who underwent DECT urography for macroscopic haematuria with a split bolus two- or three-acquisition protocol, including a true unenhanced series and at least a mixed nephrographic excretory phase. Virtual unenhanced images were reconstructed from contrast-enhanced DE data. Calculi were recorded on all series and characterised based on their X-ray absorption characteristics at 100 kVp and 140 kVp in both true unenhanced and nephrographic excretory phase series.
RESULTS: All calculi with a diameter more than 2 mm were detected in the virtual unenhanced phase and in the nephrographic excretory phase. Thirteen of these calculi could be characterised in the true unenhanced phase and in the mixed nephrographic excretory phase. The results were strictly identical for both phases, six of them being recognised as non-uric acid calculi and seven as uric acid calculi.
CONCLUSIONS: Mixed nephrographic excretory phase DECT after furosemide administration allows both detection and characterisation of clinically significant calculi, through the diluted urine.
KEY POINTS: • Urinary tract stones can be detected on excretory phase through diluted urine. • Urinary tract stone characterisation with dual-energy CT (DECT) is possible through diluted urine. • A dual energy split-bolus CT urography simultaneously enables urinary stone detection and characterisation.

The Glenn-Colusa Irrigation District (GCID) appropriative water rights begin on the Sacramento River with an 1883 filing posted on a tree by Will S. Green, surveyor, newspaperman, public official, and pioneer irrigator. His first claim was for 500,000 miner's inches under 4 inches of pressure and was one of the earliest and largest water rights on the Sacramento River.
GCID was organized in 1920, after several private companies failed financially, and a group of landowners reorganized and refinanced the irrigation district, retaining claim to Green's historic water right. The disastrous rice crop failure of 1920–21 nearly destroyed the district at its inception, and the "great depression" took a further toll, making it necessary for the district to refinance in the 1930s. Additionally, the United States purchased lands within GCID during this period which would later become three federal refuges totaling approximately 20,000 acres.
Today, after surviving many challenges, GCID is the largest district in the Sacramento Valley. Located approximately eighty miles north of Sacramento, California, the district boundaries cover approximately 175,000 acres; of which 153,000 acres are deeded property and 138,800 are irrigable. There are 1,076 landowners in the District and an additional 300 tenant water users. There are an additional 5,000 acres of private habitat land, and winter water supplied by GCID to thousands of acres of rice land provides valuable habitat for migrating waterfowl during the winter months.
GCID's main pump station, its only diversion from the Sacramento River, is located near Hamilton City. The District's 65-mile long Main Canal conveys water into a complex system of nearly 1,000 miles of canals, laterals and drains, much of it constructed in the early 1900s. The District headquarters are located in Willows, the county seat of Glenn County, approximately 90 miles north of Sacramento on Interstate 5.
A five-member board of directors, who represent five subdivisions within the District, governs the District. The annual budget is $15 million. GCID's mission is to provide reliable, affordable water supplies to its landowners and water users, while ensuring the environmental and economic viability of the region.
Water Supply
From its first diversions until 1964, GCID relied upon its historic water rights and adequate water supply from the Sacramento River hydrologic system which receives rainfall and snowmelt from a 27,246 square mile watershed with average runoff of 22,389,000 acre-feet, providing nearly one-third of the state's total natural runoff. In 1964, after nearly two decades of negotiations with the United States, GCID along with other Sacramento River water rights diverters entered into "Settlement Water Contracts" with the Bureau of Reclamation (Bureau). These Settlement Contracts were necessary at that time to allow the Bureau to construct, operate, and divert water for the newly constructed Central Valley Project. The contract provided GCID with water supply for the months of April through October for 720,000 acre-feet of base supply, and 105,000 acre-feet of Central Valley Project water that is purchased during the months of July and August. During a designated critical year when natural inflow to Shasta Reservoir is less than 3.2 million acre-feet, GCID's total supply is reduced by 25%, to a total of 618,000 acre-feet.
Additionally, the District has rights under a State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) permit to "winter water" from November 1 through March 31 at a 1,200 cubic feet per second (cfs) diversion rate. This water supply is used for rice straw decomposition and waterfowl habitat. The permit provides 150,000 acre-feet for rice straw decomposition and 32,900 acre-feet for crop consumption.
Groundwater can be used to supplement GCID's supplies, with 5,000 acre-feet available from District wells, and approximately 45,000 acre-feet from privately owned landowner wells.
Contract Renewal
In 2004, GCID and other Sacramento River Settlement Contractors that had negotiated 40-year contracts with the Bureau of Reclamation in 1964 successfully negotiated a 40-year renewal of contracts with the same quantities and critical year terms. However, shortly after the renewal of these contracts, several environmental groups challenged a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Biological Opinion which put at risk the validity of these contracts. Five years later, in April, 2009, Judge Oliver W. Wanger of the United States District Court, Eastern District of California, issued a significant decision and ruled that the federal government and Sacramento River Settlement Contractors reached agreement in the early 1960s "on long-term contracts to continue for a 40-year term and renewal thereafter, for fixed contractually defined quantities (of water) . . ." that predates the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and the Central Valley Project.
Fish Screen Improvement Project and Monitoring
In 1993, GCID in coordination with the US Bureau of Reclamation and the Corps of Engineers, began an $80 million GCID Fish Screen Improvement Project that included planning, design, environmental planning, oxbow channel improvements, forebay enlargement, construction of a 620-foot extension to the existing 480-foot flat plate fish screen, construction of a gradient restoration facility in the Sacramento River, 29 acres of mitigation plantings, and an extensive evaluation and monitoring program.
The project was necessary in order for GCID to continue its diversions from the Sacramento River without affecting winter run Chinook salmon. However, the facility was also designed to ensure other salmon run species and sturgeon would be protected. Following completion of construction in 2001, GCID conducted a five-year evaluation of the screen project to ensure it performed according to specifications and that fish were not being "taken" as a result of operations. The evaluation and monitoring program concluded in 2007-2008 and demonstrated that fish are safely passing GCID's Sacramento River diversion facility. GCID is currently working with Reclamation and the Corps to close out the project and have GCID perform all operations and maintenance obligations on the facilities.
Refuge Conveyance Project
GCID was selected as the preferred delivery alternative to convey a continuous, year-round water supply to three National Wildlife Refuges in the Sacramento Valley, as part of a 50-year agreement between the Bureau and GCID. The $15 million project that consisted of the modification of 100 minor structures and seven major structures, including three large siphons, provides the District with the ability to deliver water to the refuges and the wildlife habitat on a year-round basis.
Development of a Water Resource Plan
Last year, the GCID Board of Directors approved the implementation of a Water Resource Plan designed to assess major issues that impact the district now and in the future. The Plan scope was initially comprehensive and included issues such as water supply, water transfers, operation and maintenance, capital improvements, communications, organization/personnel, political governance and financial planning. However, the Board was concerned that the scope was too large, and potentially expensive. Ultimately, the Board, with management input, decided to break the Plan into individual components with priority given to the most pressing and critical issues such as water supply needs and water transfers/exchanges. As each issue area is addressed, another issue area is then initiated with the process culminating into a final Plan.
Water Transfers
In recent years, below normal water years, in addition to the rededication of water from agriculture and urban uses back to the environment has resulted in water supply shortages throughout the State. While discussions and planning are occurring for longer term solutions such as additional storage and improved Delta conveyance, short term "gap" actions are necessary to meet existing demands. GCID has viewed water transfers as a short term action to help other regions meet shortages, while at the same time protecting its underlying water rights. For Northern California, serious concerns exist that if water is not transferred to meet needs, political pressure will be exerted to overhaul the existing water rights system that could result in even more water being rededicated to other purposes, and without compensation.
In 2009, GCID along with other Sacramento valley (SV) agencies participated in the Department of Water Resources (DWR) 2009 Drought Water Bank ("2009 Bank") which was a comprehensive water transfer effort to move water from willing sellers to willing buyers. With meetings beginning in August 2008 and continuing into early May 2009, many of the SV Sellers were unable to participate in the 2009 Bank, as structured and proposed for implementation by DWR. The SV Sellers communicated to DWR their concerns regarding the 2009 Bank during the dozens of meetings and discussions that they participated in with DWR and Reclamation staff. The primary issues of concern were: the purchase price for land fallowing was set too low to compete with the commodity prices, groundwater wells with diesel pumps were exempted if Reclamation approval was required, increased mitigation and monitoring requirements for groundwater substitution transfers, conservation measures imposed by the United States Fish & Wildlife Service and the USBR for the giant garter snake (GGS) were obstructive, limited conveyance capacity due to Delta export limitations, and lack of a comprehensive approach to resolve the above issues.
Bay Delta Conservation Plan
As a Habitat Conservation Plan/Natural Community Conservation Plan, under federal and state law respectively, the purpose of the Bay Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP) is to provide for the conservation of threatened and endangered fish species in the Delta and improve the reliability of the water supply system within a stable regulatory framework. When adopted and approved by the federal and state fishery agencies, it will result in the issuance of long-term permits for those activities that support water supply and power generation, such as water conveyance and facility maintenance and improvements.
As the BDCP has advanced in its planning process, the activities have been primarily limited to the legal Delta. However, BDCP discussions now are focusing on upstream operations and diversions, which are outside the scope and physical boundaries of the BDCP. GCID's concern, as a major diverter on the Sacramento River, is to what extent would changes to system operations proposed by the BDCP impact or effect our diversions and beneficial uses of water. GCID is also not a signatory stakeholder to the BDCP so as actions continue to be proposed outside of the BDCP, GCID is beginning efforts to engage in these discussions in order to protect its existing water supply.
Groundwater Investigations
GCID and the Natural Heritage Institute (NHI), a solution based environmental organization, are conducting a Surface-Groundwater Reoperation Study to examine whether and how operation of deep aquifers in the Sacramento Valley could be integrated with operation of existing surface water reservoirs (Oroville, Shasta, or Orland Project reservoirs on Stony Creek) to produce additional firm water supplies. New supplies could be used to satisfy unmet in-Valley irrigation demands, contribute to meeting environmental flow targets particularly in the Sacramento and Feather Rivers, or produce additional water for statewide (Bay-Delta) supply if possible. The Project planning area encompasses the entire Sacramento River basin, although primary attention focuses on areas of the northern Sacramento Valley where, based on best available information, the Lower Tuscan formation and related deep aquifers are thought to exist (along with the presence of other features essential to conjunctive management). This includes portions of Butte, Colusa, Glenn and Tehama counties.
The scope of the planning effort includes technical analyses with emphasis on surface water and groundwater modeling to define how conjunctive operations might work and what their impacts could be. Additionally, once the new facilities needed to enable conjunctive operations are defined, engineering analyses and costs estimates will be prepared so that economic evaluation of prospective projects can be assessed. Additionally, operation scenarios will include integration with proposed flow standards, facilities, and storage as being considered in the Bay-Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP) process.

Public Information Officer
Frisco PD Launches Nextdoor, the Private Social Network for Neighborhoods, to
Facilitate Virtual Neighborhood Watch
FRISCO, TX – In an effort to help facilitate a virtual neighborhood watch program and help foster neighbor-to- neighbor communications, the Frisco Police Department has partnered with Nextdoor (www.nextdoor.com), the private social network for neighborhoods.
Nextdoor is free for the residents and the city. Each Frisco Neighborhood has its own private Nextdoor neighborhood website, accessible only to residents of that neighborhood. The City of Frisco wanted to make this program accessible to all of our residents so it is available to those living in apartment communities also. Residents can use their website to get to know their neighbors, ask questions, and exchange local advice and recommendations. For example neighbors use Nextdoor to share information about Frisco Neighborhood Watch and safety issues, block parties, school activities, upcoming garage sales, lost pets, and much more.
Neighborhoods establish and self-manage their own Nextdoor website. Information shared on Nextdoor is only visible to verified members. The Frisco Police Department will be able to post important information, such as crime updates to Nextdoor sites within the city. The police department will not be able to access the resident's websites, contact information, or content.
"We are encouraging all residents to get involved in their neighborhoods" said Frisco Police Chief John Bruce.
"It takes everyone working together to stay informed and stay vigilant against crime in Frisco."
Nextdoor was specifically designed to make neighbors feel comfortable sharing information with one another in order to build stronger communities. All members must verify that they live within the neighborhood. Information shared on Nextdoor is password protected and cannot be accessed by those outside the neighborhood or found on internet search engines. In addition, Nextdoor never shares personal information with any third parties.
Those interested in joining their neighborhood's Nextdoor website can visit www.nextdoor.com and enter their address. If Nextdoor is available in their area, they can immediately sign up. If a Nextdoor website has not yet been established for their area, active and engaged neighbors are invited to apply to bring Nextdoor to their neighborhood. If you have questions about your Nextdoor website you can come to the Frisco Neighborhood. Watch general meeting on June 24th at 7pm at the Frisco Police Department or help.nextdoor.com.

|Electronic structure inheritance and pressure-induced polyamorphism in lanthanide-based metallic glasses.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23005956 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|We report that a series of lanthanide-based bulk metallic glasses show a pressure-induced polyamorphic phase transition observed by in situ angle-dispersive x-ray diffraction under high pressures. The transition started from a low-density state at lower pressures, and went through continuous densification ending with a high-density state at higher pressures. We demonstrate that, under high pressure, this new type of polyamorphism in densely packed metallic glasses is inherited from its lanthanide-solvent constituent and related to the electronic structure of 4f electrons. The found electronic structure inheritance could provide the guidance for designing new metallic glasses with unique functional physical properties.

With the project Ghost Erkmen once again addresses a set of historical issues. The reference is to Ludwig van Beethoven, who spent a number of months in 1806 at the Palais Erdödy-Fürstenberg, which has been home to T-BA21's exhibition rooms as well as to his close relationship with Countess Anna Maria Erdödy. Beethoven dedicated a number of works to Anna Maria Erdödy, among them the two piano trios opus 70, composed in 1808 (also known under the title Ghost Trio), and the canon Glück, Glück zum neuen Jahr (WoO 176), written in 1819. Besides a web of speculations about the relationship between Beethoven and the countess, Erkmen refers to the rumor that the ghost of a young girl lives at the palace, which led the artist to arrange the canon Glück, Glück zum neuen Jahr for a single voice, a soprano. In more than one way, Erkmen's work revolves around the question of immateriality, of the intangible. In this sense, she not only transforms the many-voices canon, reducing it to a single soprano voice, she also dislocates it from its original domain of meaning. Yet we may also read the title of her work as an indication of the intangibility of both the voice and the light installation staging the room itself, which will be dissolved and disappear once the exhibition is over.

East Room
THE PRESIDENT: My fellow Americans, tonight I want to talk to you about Syria -- why it matters, and where we go from here.
Over the past two years, what began as a series of peaceful protests against the repressive regime of Bashar al-Assad has turned into a brutal civil war. Over 100,000 people have been killed. Millions have fled the country. In that time, America has worked with allies to provide humanitarian support, to help the moderate opposition, and to shape a political settlement. But I have resisted calls for military action, because we cannot resolve someone else's civil war through force, particularly after a decade of war in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The situation profoundly changed, though, on August 21st, when Assad's government gassed to death over a thousand people, including hundreds of children. The images from this massacre are sickening: Men, women, children lying in rows, killed by poison gas. Others foaming at the mouth, gasping for breath. A father clutching his dead children, imploring them to get up and walk. On that terrible night, the world saw in gruesome detail the terrible nature of chemical weapons, and why the overwhelming majority of humanity has declared them off-limits -- a crime against humanity, and a violation of the laws of war.
This was not always the case. In World War I, American GIs were among the many thousands killed by deadly gas in the trenches of Europe. In World War II, the Nazis used gas to inflict the horror of the Holocaust. Because these weapons can kill on a mass scale, with no distinction between soldier and infant, the civilized world has spent a century working to ban them. And in 1997, the United States Senate overwhelmingly approved an international agreement prohibiting the use of chemical weapons, now joined by 189 governments that represent 98 percent of humanity.
On August 21st, these basic rules were violated, along with our sense of common humanity. No one disputes that chemical weapons were used in Syria. The world saw thousands of videos, cell phone pictures, and social media accounts from the attack, and humanitarian organizations told stories of hospitals packed with people who had symptoms of poison gas.
Moreover, we know the Assad regime was responsible. In the days leading up to August 21st, we know that Assad's chemical weapons personnel prepared for an attack near an area where they mix sarin gas. They distributed gasmasks to their troops. Then they fired rockets from a regime-controlled area into 11 neighborhoods that the regime has been trying to wipe clear of opposition forces. Shortly after those rockets landed, the gas spread, and hospitals filled with the dying and the wounded. We know senior figures in Assad's military machine reviewed the results of the attack, and the regime increased their shelling of the same neighborhoods in the days that followed. We've also studied samples of blood and hair from people at the site that tested positive for sarin.
When dictators commit atrocities, they depend upon the world to look the other way until those horrifying pictures fade from memory. But these things happened. The facts cannot be denied. The question now is what the United States of America, and the international community, is prepared to do about it. Because what happened to those people -- to those children -- is not only a violation of international law, it's also a danger to our security.
Let me explain why. If we fail to act, the Assad regime will see no reason to stop using chemical weapons. As the ban against these weapons erodes, other tyrants will have no reason to think twice about acquiring poison gas, and using them. Over time, our troops would again face the prospect of chemical warfare on the battlefield. And it could be easier for terrorist organizations to obtain these weapons, and to use them to attack civilians.
If fighting spills beyond Syria's borders, these weapons could threaten allies like Turkey, Jordan, and Israel. And a failure to stand against the use of chemical weapons would weaken prohibitions against other weapons of mass destruction, and embolden Assad's ally, Iran -- which must decide whether to ignore international law by building a nuclear weapon, or to take a more peaceful path.
This is not a world we should accept. This is what's at stake. And that is why, after careful deliberation, I determined that it is in the national security interests of the United States to respond to the Assad regime's use of chemical weapons through a targeted military strike. The purpose of this strike would be to deter Assad from using chemical weapons, to degrade his regime's ability to use them, and to make clear to the world that we will not tolerate their use.
That's my judgment as Commander-in-Chief. But I'm also the President of the world's oldest constitutional democracy. So even though I possess the authority to order military strikes, I believed it was right, in the absence of a direct or imminent threat to our security, to take this debate to Congress. I believe our democracy is stronger when the President acts with the support of Congress. And I believe that America acts more effectively abroad when we stand together.
This is especially true after a decade that put more and more war-making power in the hands of the President, and more and more burdens on the shoulders of our troops, while sidelining the people's representatives from the critical decisions about when we use force.
Now, I know that after the terrible toll of Iraq and Afghanistan, the idea of any military action, no matter how limited, is not going to be popular. After all, I've spent four and a half years working to end wars, not to start them. Our troops are out of Iraq. Our troops are coming home from Afghanistan. And I know Americans want all of us in Washington
-- especially me -- to concentrate on the task of building our nation here at home: putting people back to work, educating our kids, growing our middle class.
It's no wonder, then, that you're asking hard questions. So let me answer some of the most important questions that I've heard from members of Congress, and that I've read in letters that you've sent to me.
First, many of you have asked, won't this put us on a slippery slope to another war? One man wrote to me that we are "still recovering from our involvement in Iraq." A veteran put it more bluntly: "This nation is sick and tired of war."
My answer is simple: I will not put American boots on the ground in Syria. I will not pursue an open-ended action like Iraq or Afghanistan. I will not pursue a prolonged air campaign like Libya or Kosovo. This would be a targeted strike to achieve a clear objective: deterring the use of chemical weapons, and degrading Assad's capabilities.
Others have asked whether it's worth acting if we don't take out Assad. As some members of Congress have said, there's no point in simply doing a "pinprick" strike in Syria.
Let me make something clear: The United States military doesn't do pinpricks. Even a limited strike will send a message to Assad that no other nation can deliver. I don't think we should remove another dictator with force -- we learned from Iraq that doing so makes us responsible for all that comes next. But a targeted strike can make Assad, or any other dictator, think twice before using chemical weapons.
Other questions involve the dangers of retaliation. We don't dismiss any threats, but the Assad regime does not have the ability to seriously threaten our military. Any other retaliation they might seek is in line with threats that we face every day. Neither Assad nor his allies have any interest in escalation that would lead to his demise. And our ally, Israel, can defend itself with overwhelming force, as well as the unshakeable support of the United States of America.
Many of you have asked a broader question: Why should we get involved at all in a place that's so complicated, and where -- as one person wrote to me -- "those who come after Assad may be enemies of human rights?"
It's true that some of Assad's opponents are extremists. But al Qaeda will only draw strength in a more chaotic Syria if people there see the world doing nothing to prevent innocent civilians from being gassed to death. The majority of the Syrian people -- and the Syrian opposition we work with -- just want to live in peace, with dignity and freedom. And the day after any military action, we would redouble our efforts to achieve a political solution that strengthens those who reject the forces of tyranny and extremism.
Finally, many of you have asked: Why not leave this to other countries, or seek solutions short of force? As several people wrote to me, "We should not be the world's policeman."
I agree, and I have a deeply held preference for peaceful solutions. Over the last two years, my administration has tried diplomacy and sanctions, warning and negotiations -- but chemical weapons were still used by the Assad regime.
However, over the last few days, we've seen some encouraging signs. In part because of the credible threat of U.S. military action, as well as constructive talks that I had with President Putin, the Russian government has indicated a willingness to join with the international community in pushing Assad to give up his chemical weapons. The Assad regime has now admitted that it has these weapons, and even said they'd join the Chemical Weapons Convention, which prohibits their use.
It's too early to tell whether this offer will succeed, and any agreement must verify that the Assad regime keeps its commitments. But this initiative has the potential to remove the threat of chemical weapons without the use of force, particularly because Russia is one of Assad's strongest allies.
I have, therefore, asked the leaders of Congress to postpone a vote to authorize the use of force while we pursue this diplomatic path. I'm sending Secretary of State John Kerry to meet his Russian counterpart on Thursday, and I will continue my own discussions with President Putin. I've spoken to the leaders of two of our closest allies, France and the United Kingdom, and we will work together in consultation with Russia and China to put forward a resolution at the U.N. Security Council requiring Assad to give up his chemical weapons, and to ultimately destroy them under international control. We'll also give U.N. inspectors the opportunity to report their findings about what happened on August 21st. And we will continue to rally support from allies from Europe to the Americas -- from Asia to the Middle East -- who agree on the need for action.
Meanwhile, I've ordered our military to maintain their current posture to keep the pressure on Assad, and to be in a position to respond if diplomacy fails. And tonight, I give thanks again to our military and their families for their incredible strength and sacrifices.
My fellow Americans, for nearly seven decades, the United States has been the anchor of global security. This has meant doing more than forging international agreements -- it has meant enforcing them. The burdens of leadership are often heavy, but the world is a better place because we have borne them.
And so, to my friends on the right, I ask you to reconcile your commitment to America's military might with a failure to act when a cause is so plainly just. To my friends on the left, I ask you to reconcile your belief in freedom and dignity for all people with those images of children writhing in pain, and going still on a cold hospital floor. For sometimes resolutions and statements of condemnation are simply not enough.
Indeed, I'd ask every member of Congress, and those of you watching at home tonight, to view those videos of the attack, and then ask: What kind of world will we live in if the United States of America sees a dictator brazenly violate international law with poison gas, and we choose to look the other way?
Franklin Roosevelt once said, "Our national determination to keep free of foreign wars and foreign entanglements cannot prevent us from feeling deep concern when ideals and principles that we have cherished are challenged." Our ideals and principles, as well as our national security, are at stake in Syria, along with our leadership of a world where we seek to ensure that the worst weapons will never be used.
America is not the world's policeman. Terrible things happen across the globe, and it is beyond our means to right every wrong. But when, with modest effort and risk, we can stop children from being gassed to death, and thereby make our own children safer over the long run, I believe we should act. That's what makes America different. That's what makes us exceptional. With humility, but with resolve, let us never lose sight of that essential truth.
Thank you. God bless you. And God bless the United States of America.

November 30, 2015
Washington (AP) The head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says an outbreak of Hepatitis C at a Nevada clinic may represent "the tip of an iceberg" of safety problems at clinics around the country.
The City of Las Vegas shut down the Endoscopy center of Southern Nevada last Friday after state health officials determined that six patients had contracted Hepatitis C because of unsafe practices including clinic staff reusing syringes and vials.
Nevada health officials are trying to contact about 40,000 patients who received anesthesia by injection at the clinic between March 2004 and January 11th to urge them to get tested for Hepatitis c, Hepatitis B and Hiv.
CDC head doctor Julie Gerberding says health officials need to be more aggressive about alerting clinicians of the dangers of reusing syringes.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Las Vegas police say they've arrested a 16-year-old boy on suspicion of murder after a 14-year-old boy was shot dead at a party in January.
Police say the 16-year-old was arrested Tuesday in connection with the death of Haji Mohamed, and is set to appear in court Thursday.
Police say the two boys were at a party Jan. 12 in an apartment on East Reno Avenue when Mohamed was fatally shot in the head. Another person was injured by gunfire.
A police report says the suspect later told another person that he'd shot Mohamed, but didn't intend to and was haunted by the death.
Police describe the suspect as a known gang member with a previous firearms arrest. Officials say he denied shooting Mohamed in a February police interview.

Oklahoma projected starters: Sooners' secondary not their biggest strength, but also not a weakness
Oklahoma's secondary might be the biggest question mark on the defense, but that doesn't mean it's a weakness.
The Sooners have a mix of experience and youth at defensive back that will hope to answer some of those questions in 2014. While three starters are returning from last season, a group of young guys will try to make an impression in the fall with plenty of potential playing time available.
Here are the projected starters for Oklahoma at defensive back:
Contenders: Julian Wilson (Sr.), Zack Sanchez (So., Keller Central), Dakota Austin (So., Lancaster), Stanvon Taylor (So.), Cortez Johnson (Jr.), Brandon Young (Sr., Frisco), Marcus Green (Fr.), Jordan Thomas (Fr.), Tito Windham (Fr.)
Projected starters: NB – Wilson, CB – Sanchez, Austin
Stranglehold on the position: 8 – Wilson, 8 – Sanchez, 2 – Austin
Analysis: Wilson will be back at the nickel spot for Mike Stoops after a solid season starting 11 games last year. He's easily the most proven piece in the OU secondary and can be used where needed across all five positions. Sanchez showed flashes of brilliance as a freshman and could break out this year on the outside. He had a big interception against Alabama in the Sugar Bowl, but also was burned a few times. Teams might try to test him early in the season to see which version of Sanchez is on the field, but he should be a shutdown-type guy after a strong spring. Opposite Sanchez, things are a little more unsettled with sophomore Austin probably earning an edge in the competition this spring.
Keep an eye on: Taylor. The sophomore was big on special teams in 2013 and started against Tulsa, but never made a huge impact otherwise. He is a great athlete that earned Oklahoma Gatorade Player of the Year honors and was a consensus four-star recruit while in high school.
Contenders: Quentin Hayes (Sr., Lancaster), Hatari Byrd (So.), Ahmad Thomas (So.), Steven Parker (Fr.), Vontre McQuinnie (Fr., DeSoto)
Projected starters: SS – Hayes, FS – Byrd
Stranglehold on the position: 7 – Hayes, 2 – Byrd
Analysis: Hayes led all Oklahoma defensive backs in tackles in 2013 with 75. He started every game after entering last year without a start and will provide leadership at safety after Gabe Lynn's departure. Byrd and Thomas are pretty even at this point entering camp for the free safety spot. They both saw limited action as freshmen after entering as four-star recruits according to ESPN.
Keep an eye on: Parker. He got off to a bit of a rocky start in Norman with an arrest for public intoxication, but Parker was the No. 1 player in Oklahoma and No. 5 safety in the country according to Rivals. He will compete for both spots in the fall and could be a star in the making.

ST. MARY'S COLONY, TEXAS. St. Mary's Colony, a black farming community, is located in the far western corner of Bastrop County, seventeen miles west of Bastrop on State Highway 21. The Doyle and Patton families founded the community shortly after emancipation when their former owners, George and Mary Doyle, gave them 2,000 acres of land. St. Mary's Colony was named by a preacher known as Meridan. At one time its population was more than 300.
After World War II many people moved from the colony to Austin for employment rather than endure the hard life of dry-land farming. The colony had dwindled to a few families when Willie Mae Wilson, a former resident, sought the help of United States representative J. J. Pickle to bring water lines to the area. In 1976 Pickle secured a $2.7 million grant enabling the Farmer's Home Administration and the Aqua Water Supply Corporation, a Bastrop-based water cooperative serving rural areas of the county, to do the project. Water lines began serving St. Mary's Colony in the early months of 1979, and former members of the community began to return and set up summer homes. The St. Mary's Community Center, formerly an old two-room schoolhouse, was renovated in 1979.

Films this good rarely come along. And by "this good," I mean "this bad." This is a terrible, terrible film but my God, do I love it. It's like the filmmakers knew it was bad, so they decided to make the film a satire about bad films, by making it a bad film.
Wait, maybe there is more to this film than we've ever known. Could this be the smartest film ever made? Scholars, get to work!
Duncan Jones, the director of this film, is David Bowie's son. Do you realize what this means? This film could have been the best ever made had he casted his father in the lead role and made everyone on set take a bunch of ecstasy and let the camera role. The film could have been about Ziggy Stardust going to fight the spiders from Mars and the soundtrack would have only been David Bowie music. But no. Hey Hollywood! Check out these film ideas. Call me.
But, if you can ignore the lack of that awesome plot that I just outlined, then Moon is pretty awesome. Sam Rockwell is one of the most underrated actors and deserves more roles and recognition. While I don't like the ending of this film, I loved it up until its final minutes.
ER – The Complete 12th Season
No George Clooney? No point. Moving on.
Remember that movie starting Alexis Blebel of "Gilmore Girls" and its about her graduating college and having to move back home to find a job and going through all sorts of problems with family and love and job stuff? No? That's okay, no one does.
The Hurt Locker
I was told this was a great film, but I don't buy it. It follows an Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) unit as they disarm bombs in Iraq, which sounds cool and all, but where are the big movie stars in this film? Was Nicolas Cage too busy? Where is the dramatic love story between an Iraqi woman, torn between her family, homeland and personal dreams and the American soldier, who just wants to get home, yet doesn't know how he can get his love to America? (Hint: large suitcase.)
That story is nowhere. Instead, this is one of those "character studies" where you actually have to listen and pay attention to stuff. If that sounds like something you'd like to watch, then by all means, do it. In the meantime, I'm going to go watch Youtube videos of people getting hit in the crotch. There's art in that.

(Sports Network) - The Winnipeg Jets will try to gain some ground in their hunt for first place in the Southeast Division when they face the Florida Panthers tonight.
You can see all the action on TSN Jets beginning at 6:30pm ct/7:30pm et. Fans can also listen to the game on TSN Radio 1290 and TSN.ca/Winnipeg.
The Jets were looking for a little help from the Panthers over the weekend, but Carolina's sweep and Winnipeg's 3-0 loss to Washington on Saturday dropped the Jets four points out of first place in the division.
Winnipeg had won three straight before getting shut out by the visiting Caps and saw a string of five straight games with at least three goals scored snapped.
The Jets, who had scored 11 goals over their win streak, outshot the Capitals 15-5 in the first and 16-3 in the third, but saw their power play go 0-for-3. They are now just 1-for-32 on the man advantage over the past 12 games.
Ondrej Pavelec recorded 18 saves in the setback, but yielded a goal in the second period and a pair of tallies less than a minute apart in the third.
"I think when you're the home team, you don't want to let a road team off the hook," said Jets forward Evander Kane. "I thought we did that, especially going into the second period. In terms of the third period, just some breakdowns defensively and the pucks (end up) in the back of our net."
The Jets open up a four-game road trip and will also visit the Panthers on Friday following a contest in Tampa Bay the previous night. They have won five of the past seven as the guest in this series, though they did suffer a 6-3 loss in Sunrise on Jan. 31.
The Panthers notched five goals in the third period of that game, their only win in the past four overall meetings with the Jets.
Meanwhile, the Panthers, who are looking at avoiding a fourth straight loss, will be without forward Stephen Weiss, who is out for the year after learning he requires surgery to deal with an ongoing wrist injury in a home matchup with the Winnipeg Jets.
The Panthers' first ever division title last season snapped a 10-season playoff drought for the club, but a year of higher expectations has thus far been a disappointment. Florida is tied for last in the division with the Washington Capitals and its six victories on the season are tied for the fewest in the NHL.
A sweep in a home-and-home set over the weekend at the hands of the first- place Carolina Hurricanes only furthered the Panthers' current rut as they have lost five of six and 10 of their previous 12 (2-6-4). Following a 6-3 loss in Carolina on Thursday, Florida was handed a 3-2 home defeat by the Hurricanes on Sunday.
Rookie Jonathan Huberdeau scored both goals, his team-leading ninth and 10th of the season, while Scott Clemmensen allowed three goals on 24 shots in the loss.
"It's the win that's important. I don't care if I score two goals and we lose," Huberdeau said. "We have to work harder."
Clemmensen could get the bulk of the work in the near future after Jose Theodore was placed on injured reserve on Sunday, one day after he suffered a lower body injury 2 1/2 minutes into the game versus the 'Canes. Theodore reportedly has a torn right groin and could be headed for surgery.
However, with Clemmensen falling to 2-3-2 with a 4.15 goals against average and .859 save percentage in 10 games this season, the Panthers could give 2008 second-round pick Jacob Markstrom a hard look as well.
Either way, Theodore joins defensemen Dmitry Kulikov, Ed Jovanovski, Mike Weaver, Michael Caruso and forward Kris Versteeg on IR.

I got a mailer from Joanns yesterday and took it upstairs to sewing room. I cut out the coupons, it's coupon days so a bunch of 50% off and since no notions were on sale I figured could get a few things well I set them down and didn't realize a small open bottle of sewing machine oil tipped over on them they are covered in oil. I threw them right in the trash. Now thinking maybe could soak them a little and then spread them out to dry? I was also looking to get fusible web with them. I hate the when I do dumb stuff like that. I know it's only coupons but still. -- Edited on 7/12/13 2:35 PM --
I hate that when I do something and second guess myself later. I don't blame you a bit. Why not try to dry them out? Or, call Jo-
Ann's and ask if they have any spare mailers you could have, sometimes they do.
I'd wrap them between pieces of paper toweling, and take them in, all the while blushing and explaining your mishap. A very kind, albeit rare, Joann's employee would certainly sympathize with you.

Do you have a smart phone by chance? I have the Joann app in my phone and most of the flyer coupons show up in my phone too.
No no smart phone just fairly plain phone.
Call the store and ask if they have any more on hand before you drive over there. I know what a good sale they have is like.
Oh, can you download any of their coupons? I remember doing this a couple of years ago. Someone posted the flyer and we could download the coupons from it. Not sure how it was done anymore, though.
I know you will HATE this idea. Sign up for their email and receive coupons you can print out yourself. I remember doing this as well and often used them. They are good in the stores.

hopefully maybe the will send the current sale ad. I've just always gotten them in the mail. I think tonight though may try cleaning them and see what happens. I had said wasn't buying anything more this month except for fusible web. That's what I wanted to use them for. Maybe all the coupons will be in the Sunday paper ad also. -- Edited on 7/12/13 11:30 AM --
Maybe you can print some coupons from their website and there's usually a stand at the entrance of the store that holds flyers with the coupons. They usually send the coupons in their emails.
------Carpe diem!
Hi.. if you can't download them off the net for any reason.. or don't have a printer etc.. just send me a pvt email and I will mail you mine.. I am sure it would get there in two or three days.. and I know there were LOADS of coupons in the newest flyer.. HUGS
Our Sunday paper always has JoAnn's coupons, so yours probably will too. If not, look online. Sewing machine oil can be evil! My good scissors were squeaking a few days ago, so I put a couple drops of oil and cleaned the scissors... so I thought. The next day I cut out my lining and today saw blurs of oil on my lining. Used some alcohol on cotton balls, which helped. I know, off the subject, but darn sewing machine oil!!!

WALLA WALLA - Fresh off its first win of the Big Nine season, Wa-Hi's football team looks to put a positive close to its 2010 campaign in a crossover game at Hanford Thursday night.
The Blue Devils closed out their regular season with a home victory over Eisenhower to earn the sixth spot from the Big Nine 4A Division, putting them in the season's final game.
"I say it pretty much every week, but all year we have just been working to get better," said Wa-Hi head coach Mike Gobel. "Last week our playmakers made the plays we needed them to, and that was what made the difference for us between a win and a loss."
No playmaker was more prevalent than Wa-Hi wide out Moe Handcox, Jr. (junior, 5-foot, 10-inches, 160 pounds), who hauled in three touchdown passes in the Blue Devils' win over Ike to remain the Big Nine 4A's leading receiver with 36 catches for 749 yards and nine touchdowns.
"It was a fun night," Handcox said. "We knew we needed to win and our line was great on both sides of the ball. I think that's where it all started for us, and it was a really good way to close out the home season."
Hanford (1-8, 1-6) features a balanced attack offensively, led by running back Cameron Wagar (sr., 5-11, 195), who has already notched 811 rushing yards on the year.
"We know they can run the ball," said sophomore running and defensive back Jonah Hoe. "If we can handle their running game, then that's going to help a lot. It comes down to us executing and going hard."
Wa-Hi was forced to get creative last week, running a variation of the Wildcat offense with Handcox running the show with its top two quarterbacks sidelined. But even with a short week to recover, Gobel expects senior quarterback Jake Robertson (6-6, 207) to return under center this week.
Riley Shintafter (soph., 5-9, 150) has been Hanford's leading passer, completing 47 passes for 678 yards and four touchdowns.
"We know they're going to be pretty much 50-50 with how they move the ball," Gobel said. "Wagar is a heck of a back, but they can move the ball in the air a bit, too."
Hanford didn't move the ball as well as many of the teams Wa-Hi faced during its regular season, finishing last in the Big Nine 3A in total offense, and the team placed seventh in total defense.
There may be a chance for Wa-Hi to score more big plays like the ones that defined their win over Ike.
"It starts with everyone being ready to play," Gobel said. "It's an interesting night because we want to get kids who haven't had the chance to be on the Friday night stage that are coming back a chance to get familiar with what it's like to be out there. But we also want to get our seniors the chance to enjoy their last game."
Both objectives seem attainable for the Blue Devils in a game that affords the squad a chance to put a strong cota on the season.
"You know, high school sports are a revolving door," Gobel said. "Your roster is constantly changing, and you always have to be prepared for next year. This is a game we are really looking forward to. A couple of weeks ago, we didn't know if we would have another game so we're excited to get to have another four quarters to grow and build."
