Rocklin's Taylor resigns as basketball coach
By: Russ Edmondson The Placer Herald
Steve Taylor resigned as Rocklin High's varsity boys basketball coach today. Taylor, who started the Thunder program when the school opened in 1993, informed his players today that he was retiring as coach. Taylor, 47, sent out an email at about 4 p.m. today announcing his decision. He spoke with The Placer Herald by phone. "This was not something that was easy for me to do after coaching high school basketball for 24 years," Taylor said. "I am simply tired and burned out from what feels like a 12-month a year job. The time commitment and the pressures associated with the job have taken a toll on me physically, mentally, and on my relationship with my family." Taylor coached high school basketball in Fresno for seven years prior to coaching at Rocklin. "I have come to realize that I can never get back the time that I am missing away from my wife and kids (Nick age 13, Ashley age 10)," Taylor said. "There have been a number of things that have happened over the past few years that have reminded me of that and made this decision something I just need to do. I have struggled with this decision for three years but I finally feel it is the right time to step away." Taylor's program at Rocklin has been very successful and the Thunder have reached the Sac-Joaquin Section, Division II semifinals at Arco Arena for the last five seasons. Rocklin has gone 135-26 over those five years and claimed DII section titles in 2007-08 and 2008-09. The Thunder also reached the DII state championship game in 2008-09. Rocklin's 2008-09 season included perfect records in the Sierra Foothill League (12-0) and at home (14-0). That season took a heavy toll on Taylor. He often thinks back to the loss to Eisenhower in the state championship game. "It's tough to get over the loss – there is still that disappointment," Taylor said. "I think it will always be there. It was a missed opportunity for us. "The more success we've had the more I feel like there is pressure to continue that success. And the expectations have been set and you have to live up to those. And the year we got to the state finals it took a lot out of me. And I wasn't sure I would be able to refuel the jets (for the following season) – there is not very much time and you get started right away in the spring (for the following season)." Rocklin went 22-10 this season and graduates a talented group that includes Cody Kale, Tony Williams, Alika Lemon, Jackson Cummings and Justin Soria. That was the starting lineup down the stretch for many of Rocklin's key games. "I kind of felt it was probably the right time (to resign)," Taylor said. "The senior class, and in particular Jackson because he'd been there (on the varsity) for four years, I wanted to make sure I was coaching their senior years . . . It's the senior class that I feel like I was really close with. We've had a great run and it's almost like (to stay as the coach) I have to really buckle up the boot straps and really get after it . . . And I don't feel like I really have the energy." Coaching has drained Taylor is recent years. "From a physical and mental stand point, in recent years I have been unable to feel rested and rejuvenated after one season ends and another one begins right away," said Taylor, who will still be a physical education instructor at Rocklin. "I just feel mentally and physically tired all of the time. This has affected my ability to have fun and enjoy working with our players as much as I have in the past. I have always told myself when I quit having fun I need to step away and it just hasn't been as much fun as it should have been with all of the success we have had in recent years." Taylor says that he may coach basketball again in the future. "In a perfect world, I could take a year or two off and recharge my jets but I can't quite say what the future will bring," Taylor said. "I can definitely see myself getting back into coaching basketball at some point in the future but only time will tell. I have no other job offers at the high school or college level (which had been rumored). I simply want to focus on being a better husband, dad, and teacher and not have the responsibility, workload, and pressure of being the head coach at RHS." Rocklin's record under Taylor was 319-144 and 130-64 in the SFL. The Thunder, who first competed at the varsity level (with juniors only) in 1995-96, reached the playoffs 13 times. The only seasons Rocklin missed the playoffs were 1995-96 (7-21 record) and 2003-04 (16-12). Taylor coached the Thunder to five SFL championships (2000-01, 2001-02, 2005-06, 2007-08 and 2008-09) and three section titles (2000-01, 2007-08, 2008-09). Rocklin has appeared in the section semifinals eight times. Taylor was the Cal Hi Sports Division II State Coach of the Year in 2007-08. He was the Sac Bee's coach of the year the same season. He points to 2000-01 and 1997-98 when he thinks about which seasons at Rocklin were the most fun. "That section championship in 2001, it's one of the highlights because it was our first one and maybe one of our best accomplishments we've ever had," Taylor said. "And our second year with seniors, 1997-98, and we got to the section finals . . . that was pretty neat. And the state finals – if you had asked me in 1993 if we would be playing in the state finals I would say that it is really doubtful. A public school and in our community, we didn't know how big (Rocklin) would get." Taylor started his coaching career at Clovis West in Fresno in 1986 (freshman coach) before coaching the junior varsity (1987-88) and serving as an assistant on the varsity (1989) at the same school. He was the head coach at Fresno High from 1990-93, going 10-16, 16-10 and 18-8. He then took the coaching job in Rocklin, where he grew up. He attended Roseville High because Rocklin didn't have a high school back then. "My parents were still there and I knew the high school job was opening up and I wanted to come back to this area eventually," Taylor said. Taylor starred at Roseville High and led the Tigers to a NorCal title in 1980 under coach Paul Gonzalez. There was no state championship for basketball in California at the time. Taylor, as a shooting guard, then played two years of basketball at Sierra College before playing on scholarship at Fresno Pacific University. Taylor isn't sure what involvement he will have with the Rocklin program in the immediate future. "It just depends on what happens – I really feel like I need to completely step away," Taylor said. "If not I will never know if there is something else out there." One of those things could be a master's degree. "I have opportunities to do things different in basketball but I don't have my master's degree," Taylor said. "There are opportunities at junior college and other things like that. Within two years I want to have my master's degree and if a junior college job comes up then you have a chance." Taylor struggled with having to miss his son's basketball games this season. "My son is a seventh grader and my daughter is a fifth grader and these next three or four years in their development is really important," Taylor said. "And I had to miss some of my son's basketball games to go to my games and my practices and I'm saying to myself 'I would love to sit here and watch the game and support my kid.'" And that's good enough for now. He'd rather just be a fan than a coach.

U.S. people, if they do read or hear of it, may be shocked at the apparent unconcern of the crews of two U.S. helicopter gunships, which attacked and killed nine children on a mountainside in Afghanistan's Kumar province, shooting them "one after another" this past Tuesday March 1st. ("The helicopters hovered over us, scanned us and we saw a green flash from the helicopters. Then they flew back high up, and in a second round they hovered over us and started shooting." (NYT 3/2/11)).
He has had many tragedies to apologize for just counting Kunar province alone. Last August 26th, in the Manogai district, Afghan authorities accused international forces of killing six children during an air assault on Taliban positions. Provincial police chief Khalilullah Ziayee said a group of children were collecting scrap metal on the mountain when NATO aircraft dropped bombs to disperse Taliban fighters attacking a nearby base. "In the bombardment six children, aged six to 12, were killed," the police commander said. "Another child was injured."
In the Bamiyan province of Afghanistan, Zekirullah, a young Afghan friend of mine, age 15, rises at 2:00 a.m. several mornings each week and rides his donkey for six hours through the pre-dawn to reach a mountainside where he can collect scrub brush and twigs which he loads on the donkey in baskets. Then he heads home and stacks the wood - on top of his family's home – to be taken down later and burned for heat. They don't have electrical appliances to heat the home, and even if they did the villagers only get electricity for two hours a day, generally between 1:00 a.m. – 3:00 a.m. Families rely on their children to collect fuel for heat during the harsh winters and for cooking year round. Young laborers, wanting to help their families survive, mean no harm to the United States. They're not surging at us, or anywhere: they're not insurgents. They're not doing anything to threaten us. They are children, and children anywhere are like children everywhere: they're children like our own.
Sadly, more and more of us in America are getting used to the idea of child poverty – and even child labor - as our own economy sinks further under the burden of our latest nine years of war, of two billion dollars per week we spend creating poverty abroad that we can then emulate at home. Things are getting bad here, but in Afghanistan, children are bombed. Their bodies are casually dismembered and strewn by machines already lost in the horizon as the limbs settle. They lie in pools of blood until family members realize, one by one, that their children are not late in returning home but in fact never will.
In October and again in December of 2010, our small delegation of Voices for Creative Nonviolence activists met with a large family living in a wretched refugee camp. They had fled their homes in the San Gin district of the Helmand Province after a drone attack killed a mother there and her five children. The woman's husband showed us photos of his children's bloodied corpses. His niece, Juma Gul, age 9, had survived the attack. She and I huddled next to each other inside a hut made of mud on a chilly December morning. Juma Gul's father stooped in front of us and gently unzipped her jacket, showing me that his daughter's arm had been amputated by shrapnel when the U.S. missile hit their home in San Gin.
Next to Juma Gul was her brother, whose leg had been mangled in the attack. He apparently has no access to adequate medical care and experiences constant pain. The pilot of the attacking drone, perhaps controlling it from as far away as Creech Air Force Base here in the United States, knows nothing of this family or of the pain that he or she helped inflict. Nor do the commanders, the people who set up the base, the people who pay for it with their taxes, and the people who persist in electing candidates intent on indefinitely prolonging the war.
But sometimes the war is like it was this past Tuesday March 1st. Sometimes the issue is right in front of us – as it was to those helicopter crews - it's up close so there can be no mistake as to what we are doing. According to the election polls we see the cost of war, dimly, but, as with the helicopter crews, it doesn't affect - or prevent - our decisions. Afterwards we deplore the tragedy; we make a pretense of acknowledging the cost of war, but it is incalculable. We can't hope to count it. We actually, finally, have to stop making people like the nine children who died on March 1st, pay it.

Franz Tost backs Sebastian Vettel as a unique talent - alongside the likes of Schumacher and Senna
spoke too early !!!!!
Very funny, Franz. When he gets around to asking more for his services than you are willing to pay - and this may take some time - you will change your mind, and there will be plenty of young drivers just like Vettel. It is a little too early to be comparing this guy to any of the greats. Even Hamilton and Alonso have been compared to the greats earlier in their careers, and look at them now. I don't know how anyone can say they are not as "great" as Vettel. While all these guys, plus the so-called greats are in fact great, more "greats" will arive, and they will be just like Vettel, or better.
Franz, surely you are joking? One WDC in the most dominant car in the field hardly qualifies Seb with the likes of Ayrton Senna does it? Given your logic, Jacques Villenuve also qualifies as one of the all-time greats and everyone knows that simply isn't the case.
Do any of you guys read the stories before you jump to comment, or just the headlines?
Well, I can only answer for myself Dale and yes I did. The article made perfect sense to me. Best, Ed
Vettel is amongst the top drivers and I won't take away his achievements, but I think Franz should be saying that F1 won't see another designer like Adrian Newey.
is this guy serious?he's good, but not legendary.tost is just looking for some free publicity.
Why is everyone always so sure Vettel's not "amongst the greats"? He has only one world title in the best car...bla bla bla... Listen, since hitting F1, he's been incredible, he won a race in a Torro Rosso, a car that was decent at the time but no world beater, certainly not a factor in the constructors championship, and he consistently edges ahead of Mark Webber, a guy fast enough to end the F1 careers of several ex-teammates. In the time he's had in F1, what more could Vettel have really done? The boy is a phenom, that's why he was placed in a great car so early in his career. We may as well accept it, like him or not, he's stupendously gifted.
@jo, trulli also won monaco, so wining a super wet race in not so good car is doable, that's not proving nothing let's let time decide if he's legendary or not so far i don't think he showed that "stupendously gifted" that you are talking about

Really fine
By: Rebecca Taylor
The writing world is often scary. Like the globe, it stretches far and wide and there are many paths and avenues we can follow. For example, should we make writing our careers or should we choose a career that is a bit more certain. I opted for the latter option, based on sound advice years ago. This doesn't mean, I don't still write as you can see because you're reading this. Despite the fact that it is scary and exhilarating, often all at the same time, why should we write?
1. I think it's in our blood. If we're meant to do something we will, for me, writing is one of those things, it is therapeutic, it is good entertainment – I can spend lots of time doing it without spending much money.
2. We have something to say, and we need to say it…

MF Global: Regulators Pushed Us Off Cliff
TheStreet) -- Watching MF Global's (MF) speedy implosion in recent days, one of the first questions on many people's minds was: Where were the regulators? The answer appears to be: Are you kidding? They were all over us. They pushed us off the cliff! In a bankruptcy court filing Monday, "MF Global said regulators were 'dissatisfied' with a September securities filing by the company where it disclosed new capital requirements for its European bet," according to The Wall Street Journal. Regulators then "demanded that MF Holdings announce" that it had a combined $6.3 billion in exposure to the debt of five different European countries.It was this disclosure that prompted a downgrade of MF Global, causing its shares to fall 66% over four days last week, and ultimately led to its bankruptcy filing on Monday. The primary regulators for MF Global were the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, according to the Journal . Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said Wednesday that the Fed did not have oversight responsibility for MF Global because it was too small and wasn't a bank holding company, the newspaper reported. Had the Fed been MF Global's regulator, it seems unlikely it would have pushed for greater disclosure at the risk of rattling the markets. The Fed sees its mandate as preserving the safety and soundness of the banking system. The SEC, on the other hand, has a mandate of investor protection, and so traditionally has favored greater disclosure. In the years leading up to the crisis, however, the SEC's traditional role appeared to have lapsed as the agency ignored repeated warnings about the Madoff Ponzi scheme, and the commission was nowhere to be found in the months leading up to the implosions of Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers, two firms it was supposed to be regulating. Now, however, the SEC appears to be playing catch-up. Sensitive to criticisms that it has been a do-nothing agency, it now wants to show how tough it is. Was it too tough when it came to MF Global? After all, the bets that freaked out the market and caused MF Global's shares to plunge were barely underwater at the time MF Global filed for bankruptcy. Given what happened in the years leading up to 2008, a little overzeal on the part of regulators doesn't seem like such a bad thing, but MF Global's failure is sure to liven up the debate. -- Written by Dan Freed in New York.NEW YORK (

Be aware of the health dangers related to playing the guitar. Avoid back stiffness you get from sitting by constantly stretching before you play. Also, learn some stretching workouts for your hand to prevent tendinitis. It is also essential to secure your hearing by not dipping into excessively high volume. When it concerns guitar playing, switching over from chord to chord is an essential aspect. Practice moving from chord to chord rapidly and smoothly for a minimum of 15 minutes every time you practice. Having this skill will enhance the way your tunes sound.
Keep yourself inspired. Lots of people think they want to find out how to play the guitar. They buy a guitar, practice for a few weeks, and afterwards push their instrument in the back of a closet to gather dust. try to keep yourself passionate about learning to play. Never let yourself get inhibited. Always remember that playing the guitar must be fun.
Keep in mind that the reason for finding out guitar in the first place is because you have constantly wished to. For this reason, it must never ever be a stressful experience. You could become disgruntled and give up if you do. Play the songs that you discover to be the most fun.
You need to prepare for breaks and understand when you should take them. Don't get burned out from playing! You need to remain inspired. If you have been practicing daily, give the guitar a rest for a couple of days. A break will ensure you do not burn yourself out. Make sure you are practicing more frequently than taking breaks, though! Make use of video sharing training videos. There are lots of totally free Learning Guitar - Lesson One - Learning About the Parts of ... details out there that will help you learn to play the guitar, and many of those resources can be found on video sharing sites. Watching videos can be a great way for you to see fingering in action.
Learn how to take care of your instrument. Practice is important but so is the guitar you practice on! Learn when and how to change your strings. Learn how to tune your guitar and how to clean it.
It's important that you keep it in good shape if you want it sounding its best. Talk to others who understand how to play guitar. It doesn't matter where you find other players, whether it be online or offline. It's just important that you talk with people who are playing the guitar. They can offer you suggestions and tips that will take your own guitar playing to the next level.
Proper choice use is an important skill. Learning the best ways to properly use a guitar choice is essential. Try not to form bad habits, particularly early on. Teach yourself the proper holding of the pick. Using a variety of choosing patterns will keep you encouraged by challenging your abilities. Guitar playing is an activity that many folks would like to be able to take pleasure in.
The secret to truly finding out ways to play well is to acquire a comprehensive education on the topic ahead of time. Ideally this short article will help all striving players do specifically that and start their musical journey today.
Learn to deal with aching fingers. When you are first learning to play, your fingers are not used to all of the contact on them. So your fingertips will end up being extremely sore rather swiftly. But this is a regular procedure because that is exactly what will certainly help you develop the callous' that you will need to become a much better player. So care for your fingertips and your aching hand muscles and comprehend that they are all part of the process. When you learn your first chords, the fingering will feel awkward to you.
You will develop callous on your fingers that may not feel comfortable throughout the very first days. Nevertheless, do not be inhibited. Your fingers will certainly toughen and get used to weighing down on the strings, and your playing will become easier gradually.


text: Tim Harford: We must learn how to pay for innovation Innovation 09 June 11 by Tim Harford In 1967, the futurologists Herman Kahn and Anthony J Wiener published The Year 2000, predicting highspeed data processing, the fax machine and possibly even mobile phones.That sounds like a pretty good forecast -- until you realise the book also predicted interplanetary travel, foolproof hangover cures, dream-control machines, artificial moons and undersea colonies. The phones have been a pleasant surprise, but then you realise that in many ways the last 40 years have been a technological disappointment. Compare 2011 with 1971: we still fly in jumbo jets; only two new classes of antibiotic have been launched; and a cheap, safe alternative to coal and oil continues to elude us.Could innovation be slowing down? That's probably an impossibly subjective question -- but a clue to what is going on comes from the economist Benjamin Jones of the Kellogg School of Management. He has found that patents and scientific papers tend to be awarded to larger teams than in the past. The members of those teams are older than they used to be. And they are more specialised -- that is, far less likely to be involved with innovations in other fields. Instead of a lone genius, new technology these days is developed by multidisciplinary teams of narrow specialists -- teams that are expensive to assemble and challenging to organise. Innovation is simply harder than it used to be.We have two ready-made ways to organise innovative teams: through government research programmes or grants; or through the private sector, funded by speculative capital. Unfortunately, neither of these two approaches quite fits. Governments tend to struggle with long shots. (Not always: the Spitfire prototype was funded by the British Air Ministry, for about the price of a house in London, as "a most interesting experiment".) The market is good at backing long shots, but only if they're cheap -- it can't fund expensive, long-term research prospects. We need to combine the best of both.One approach is for governments to fund large prizes for successful innovations. Prizes have inspired breakthroughs from the creation of canned food to private space flight.In June 2009, five national governments, with the Gates Foundation, put $1.5 billion into a prize called an "advanced market commitment". It has already begun to reward the developers of a new, cost-effective vaccine against pneumonia, meningitis and bronchitis.Another approach is simpler: funders such as the National Institutes of Health should set aside a larger chunk of their budgets for highly speculative projects, emulating the approach of a private foundation, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI), which explicitly encourages projects with a chance of failure. Risk-loving HHMI projects do produce more failures. But they also produce more "blockbuster" research papers.Change is coming. Innovation prizes are catching on. The National Institutes of Health is starting to follow the HHMI's experimental approach. Good. The last 150 years have made us complacent about the idea that new technologies just happen. Not any more: they must be painstakingly and expensively nurtured. And with the right tools, they shall be.

Barack, Bill, and Me
The Bill Ayers that Barack Obama and I worked with was no "domestic terrorist."
They served on the boards of many organizations devoted to issues of juvenile justice and education. I worked, for example, with Dohrn—alongside judges, academics, and philanthropists—on a program to educate Chicagoans about their proud history of developing innovative public policies to provide opportunities to disadvantaged children, including those who had committed serious crimes.
The publication in 1997 of Ayers' book A Kind and Just Parent: The Children of Juvenile Court attracted much local and national attention. Drawing on his experience as a father and a teacher, he powerfully contrasted and compared the lives of his children, growing up in privilege, with those he had taught in prison. As he observed, "They are kids after all, and nothing they did can possibly change them into adults." That year, Chicago named Ayers its "Citizen of the Year." In November, Michelle Obama, who was then director of the university's community service center, convened a panel at the law school to discuss Ayers' book and the issues it raised.
Out of serious policy discussions of this sort emerged new and valuable ideas. One of them was the so-called "blended sentence," whereby kids, even though tried as adults, received suspended sentences and were then referred to juvenile programs instead of rotting away for years in adult prisons.
By the late 1990s, such ideas had become part of the national dialogue. Approaches that Ayers helped publicize were being adopted in several states—including Texas under then-Gov. George W. Bush. Juvenile justice was, in fact, a cornerstone of Bush's "compassionate conservative" agenda. In his 2000 acceptance speech, he spoke movingly of a 15-year-old African-American boy he had met at a juvenile jail in Marlin, Texas, who had committed a "grown-up crime" but was still a "little boy": "If that boy in Marlin believes he is trapped and worthless and hopeless—if he believes his life has no value—then other lives have no value to him, and we are all diminished." The passage could have come directly from Ayers' book.
But by then, Ayers was writing another book, Fugitive Days, which was published just before 9/11. This frank memoir offered no apologies, instead trying to reconcile his past and present. After 9/11, many angry Chicagoans called Ayers and Dohrn "unrepentant terrorists" and demanded that they be fired from their university jobs. They weren't, though it was a difficult time for them.
In the intervening years, things have changed yet again. Leading Chicagoans, including Mayor Daley, now commend Ayers for his service to the city. "I don't condone what he did 40 years ago, but I remember that period well," Daley said last April. "It was a difficult time, but those days are long over. I believe we have too many challenges in Chicago and our country to keep refighting 40-year-old battles."
I now include the Weather Underground in the history surveys I teach to undergraduates. I do my best to place them in the context of the radicalism of the late 1960s. I sometimes find it hard to believe that the Bill and Bernardine that Barack and I met in Hyde Park in the 1990s are the same people that my students are learning about in class. I know them better as the couple that invited me into their home in 2000 to meet their extended family, make gingerbread-cookie houses, and share Christmas dinner. Our conversation that night, as it almost always did, focused on the future, not the past.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Fly.com™, the world's easiest-to-use airfare search engine, today announced America's top 10 most popular travel destinations for Labor Day, based on data from more than 3 million user searches.
U.S. destinations dominate Fly.com's latest study results, with New York City edging out Las Vegas as America's favorite place to visit over Labor Day. The Big Apple and Sin City are joined in the top five by Orlando, Fort Lauderdale and San Juan, Puerto Rico. The West is also well-represented, with Los Angeles, San Francisco and Honolulu taking the seventh, eighth and tenth places respectively. Lima is the only international destination of choice, due in large part to a $239 roundtrip airfare deal (published in June) that saved LA travelers more than $500 on regular fares.

"Labor Day is often thought of as the last chance for a summer vacation," said Warren Chang, vice president and general manager, Fly.com. "Similar to the trend that we uncovered in the spring, Americans are still favoring travel within the United States – at least for this particular federal holiday. This is likely due to aggressive deals from domestic airlines, which have recently targeted the late summer and early fall."
Fly.com used data collected from more than 3 million user searches and extracted domestic and international flights with departure dates Aug. 25 - Sept. 1 and return dates Sept. 2 - 9. The study period included all searches conducted June 1 - July 18, 2012.

Dido slams 'skinny' starsPop star Dido has slammed skinny celebrities for being bad role models.
The stunning singer, a slim size 10 herself, claims many Hollywood stars are starving to get thinner - setting an unhealthy example to teenage girls.
She is quoted by Britain's Daily Mail newspaper as saying: "I think some of the stars today are definitely too skinny. It's quite hard not to fall into the trap of thinking that you wish you could be skinnier because everyone else is.
"If these celebrities want to starve themselves, then that's their choice. But it's not for me and it's not a good example to set for easily influenced girls.
"There's definitely a too-thin thing going on in Hollywood."
The outspoken blonde also revealed she could never follow one of the rigid diets many waif-like stars live by because she loves her food.
The star added: "I'm not capable of starving myself. I love food too much."

Splenic artery aneurysms are relatively common lesions that remain asymptomatic in the vast majority of patients. The commencement of symptoms is generally a morbid development because it frequently heralds either frank rupture or an erosive process that involves neighboring structures. Erosion into the splenic vein has been reported but is extremely rare. When this event occurs, the central arteriovenous fistula almost inevitably leads to a dramatic increase in portal venous pressures, which may subsequently be manifested as upper gastrointestinal tract hemorrhage. Herein, we report an unusual case of splenic artery aneurysm that was complicated by arteriovenous fistula formation in which high flow through the central splenic shunt led to the development of nontransmural small-bowel ischemia due to a mesenteric steal syndrome, which presented as acute lower gastrointestinal tract hemorrhage. Diagnostic modalities and therapeutic interventions used in this case are detailed, followed by a brief review of the pertinent literature.

The International Children's Digital Library (ICDL) is the coolest. It offers a ton of children's books full text with some really intricate searching capabilities that I think many children would not know how to use (oh well). One innovative search capability involves choosing the book cover color, what is most interesting about the idea is that it is geared toward the way children search for books. They even have color coded buttons it offer the most graphic interface I think possible.
One problem that I see with the site is its huge size and quite complicated search interface. When you click to read the book it gives you a very small size to begin with. In order to change the size you have to scroll up and down (at least on my computer). This can be hard to do and it is possible to not even notice the top hand navigation.
Maybe if they made the bar accessible from both the top and the bottom of the screen this problem would be cleared up. Overall, this is a great resource for teachers and librarians alike. I don't know it anyubody has already mentioned it.

Transman files complaint against spa
A Commentary
Timothy Kincaid
January 17th, 2013
From Windy City News:
Levi Pine, a Chicago transgender man, has filed an Illinois Dept. of Human Rights (IDHR) complaint against King Spa & Sauna in Niles, after a manager told him he would have to use a private shower or leave.
"The experience I had was particularly degrading," said Pine.
Pine has been on masculinizing hormones for a year. When he went to the spa on Dec. 9 with a friend, he used the men's shower facilities. Pine said the manager approached him while he was naked and asked to speak with him.
Both the manager and Pine tell the same story about what happened next.
The manager, who identified himself as John but declined to provide a last name to Windy City Times, questioned Pine about his gender. Pine told John that he was transgender, and John said he could provide Pine with a private shower.
Pine said he did not want a private shower and that he could use the same facilities used by other customers. But, John said, other customers had complained.
I support the rights of transpeople to self identify as to gender. I support the rights of transpeople to live in accordance with their gender identity.
And I understand that a transman is a man. Not a woman masquerading as a man. Not a kinda almost man. But a man.
However, if you happen to be a man with a vagina, you really do have to take that into consideration.
It's no one's business whether you have a penis, a vagina, both or neither. But when you get naked in front of their children, you make it their business. And the King Spa (a Korean Jjim-Jil-Bang spa) allows children.
As Kelli Busey eloquently blogged at planetransgender:
It's not optional, it's not a case of discrimination regardless of consequences, its our duty as citizens if a person has not had bottom surgery, full nudity must be considered a condition reserved for consenting adults. If children are present or the possibility exists a child could enter the room under those conditions, it's not just wrong, it's immoral.
NOTE: the original title "transman sues spa" has been revised for accuracy

text: An arrest that was made occurred on a side street near Baum Ave & S Millvale Ave. Video can be seen online. Unmarked car with US military personal arresting Americans in public should raise concern. The "Group of 20" is meeting today and tomorrow in Pittsburgh. People have been demonstrating to counter the G20, a group of the richest, most powerful people from the richest, most powerful countries who make decisions which impact all of us. The past few times they have met they decided to bail out big banks, including the biggest, baddest bank of them all, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which does nothing to help people. In addition, G20-style globalization policies have harmed the environment and threatened democracy everywhere. Demonstrators went on the march through Pittsburgh without a permit, and police tactics effectively split up the group after about 45 minutes of marching. In the end only about 26 arrests were made. National Guard, police, and other military units attacked American citizens with tear gas and deployed sound cannons today in response to an ?unpermitted protest? as bedlam hit the streets on the first day of the G20 summit in downtown Pittsburgh. 2,500 National Guardsmen along with Marines and the Air Force are stationed in Pittsburgh to provide ?security? for the G20 summit. Their primary training routine revolved around ?crowd control? and dealing with civil unrest. The sight of troops on the streets of America, even for routine traffic control and ?security? is now commonplace as the land of the free sinks into a militarized police state. The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385) passed on June 18, 1878, after the end of Reconstruction, with the intention (in concert with the Insurrection Act of 1807) of substantially limiting the powers of the federal government to use the military for law enforcement. The Act prohibits most members of the federal uniformed services (today the Army, Air Force, and State National Guard forces when such are called into federal service) from exercising nominally state law enforcement, police, or peace officer powers that maintain "law and order" on non-federal property (states and their counties and municipal divisions) within the United States. where expressly authorized by the Constitution or Congress.

As he did in At Gleason's Gym, Lewin pays affectionate tribute to a Brooklyn landmark, this one a home for horses. After an opening spread depicts the stable more than a century ago, when "horses did just about everything," sepia-toned watercolors portray the animals pulling trolleys and other vehicles, even taking passengers to the beach. This period- flavored art gives way to crisp, four-color paintings as the narrative shifts to the present and the horses that live in Kensington Stables, "a living, breathing relic of a bygone era." Lewin's chatty prose summons the sounds and the sights of the stable, while underscoring its timelessness ("hooves clip clop on the pavement as they did a hundred years ago"). Yet its future is apparently in jeopardy--Lewin concludes with the image of neighboring high-rise buildings under construction, towering over the stable: "What will become of these horses and the people who love them if the wrecker's ball finally comes?" It's an ominous, elegiac ending that's likely to prompt questions, yet no other details or information about threats to the stable are offered. Ages 5-9. (Oct.)[Page ]. Copyright 2010 PWxyz LLC
K-Gr 3--This picture book briefly introduces readers to the history of horse transportation in urban areas and then describes the current activities of Kensington Stables, in Brooklyn, NY. Small children take their first pony rides there, older children cross the street on horseback to take riding lessons in the nearby park, those with special needs participate in a therapeutic riding program, and wedding parties hire carriages for their special day. Lewin also introduces the stable staff (the owner, riding instructor, and farrier), as well as the horses themselves. The narrative ends on a mournful note, questioning how long the stable will remain amid ongoing development in the neighborhood. The author relates the Kensington story in a spare, straightforward style that readers will find approachable. Realistic watercolor illustrations--first in sepia tones for historical times and then in color for the present day--show the operations of the stable with warmth and energy. A final yearbook-style montage depicts each horse. Though this book will be of special interest in Brooklyn and the surrounding areas, it has broader appeal. Suggest it for history or transportation units, horse-crazy readers, and families looking for a gentle introduction to nonfiction.--Jayne Damron, Farmington Community Library, MI[Page 100].

High-ranking chowhound Joey "Jaws" Chestnut dropped to one knee and proposed to his longtime girlfriend before Friday's annual hot dog eating contest, then packed away 61 franks and buns to hold onto his coveted mustard yellow winner's belt.
The San Jose, California, resident fell far short of his record last year of 69 dogs and buns, but he still easily beat second-place finisher Matt Stonie, also of San Jose, who downed 56.
"Winning was the only option," the newly engaged champion said afterward. "I wasn't going to taint today with a loss."
Chestnut took a quick timeout before the annual Nathan's Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest at Coney Island to make it official with his longtime girlfriend, Neslie Ricasa, who is also a competitive eater.
In the women's division, defending champion Sonya "Black Widow" Thomas lost her title to Miki Sudo.
Sudo, of Las Vegas, wolfed down 34 franks and buns. Thomas, of Alexandria, Virginia, devoured 27 3/4.
Chestnut has won eight times in a row. In 2010, his former rival Takeru Kobayashi refused to sign an exclusive contract with Major League Eating, the food equivalent of the NFL, and was banned from competition.
This year, the Japanese native, nicknamed the Tsunami, competed against five other eaters at a separate event in Manhattan in a quest to down the most hot dogs without buns in 10 minutes. He was victorious in that bun-less eat-off, downing 113 frankfurters, an event spokeswoman said.

In the course of normal construction events, a strange or unusual subsurface condition is often encountered. This condition is characterized by colored liquids oozing from the soil pores along the walls of an excavation, by the emanation of a strong odor, usually associated with petroleum byproducts, or by the uncovering of drums marked "Hazardous Waste," "isobutyl awful stuff," or with similar language. It also happens in the course of normal construction events that a spill, or "release," of hazardous material occurs, such as a fuel or paint thinner spill. In all these cases, the contractor is faced with an immediate problem: what to do.
The correct immediate response is to stop work, shut off valves and plug holes, if possible, and remove personnel from the area as quickly as possible. Then secure the area from inadvertent entry by unauthorized or inexperienced persons, and consider the appropriate response before taking any action. Stopping work costs money, which makes the problem worse, although inappropriate response actions almost always cost even more.
Note that not all contamination discovered on a construction site is historical. Some, unfortunately, is created by the activities of a contractor. Nevertheless, it still must be dealt with and will still cost a certain amount to clean up. The contractor is well advised, therefore, to exercise caution when purchasing construction materials, particularly liquids and powders, to ensure that the safest possible materials are taken onto the site.
Hazardous wastes are a product of hazardous materials. Hazardous spills come from the improper handling of hazardous material and hazardous wastes. The improper handling and use of hazardous materials and hazardous wastes on the construction site are significant causes of contamination problems that must be dealt with by the contractor.
Environmental site assessments are used to determine the presence and extent of surface and subsurface contamination from hazardous materials. This includes assessing the risks to human health, safety and welfare, as well as to the environment, from any contaminants found on the site.
The techniques used to conduct an assessment depend, generally, on the purposes to which the results will be put. For example, an assessment to assist a bank with determining the likelihood of contamination on a virgin forest tract would use significantly different evaluation techniques from an assessment to determine the extent and magnitude of a release discovered through excavation on a construction site. This article focuses on the latter techniques, in conjunction with a generic approach to site assessment. This approach can be adjusted easily as site conditions change from project to project.
In general, surface contamination is determined by a visual inspection of the premises and the testing of surface soils and surface water. In the case of an ongoing construction project, that technique may also work, at least initially, for subsurface contamination. More commonly, subsurface contamination is proved through testing of subsurface soils and groundwater. Subsurface exploration techniques are required to determine the magnitude and extent of any contamination once it has been found. Assessment of the risks to human health, safety and welfare, and to the environment, is usually made by a specialist commonly, a certified industrial hygienist, or CIH.
Once contamination has been identified, it is necessary to develop appropriate cleanup or risk mitigation strategies, collectively called remediation strategies, and to implement those strategies approved by the controlling regulatory agency. Proper use of personal protective equipment and appropriate decontamination techniques will be required during the cleanup or mitigation phase. The reader is cautioned to note the difference between cleanup activities and risk mitigation activities. A mitigation activity removes or limits the risk from the contaminants, but does not remove the contaminants. An example would be the covering of an oil spill site with an impervious concrete cover, to prevent surface water infiltration and contaminant transport, rather than removing the contaminated soil. A cleanup activity removes the source of the risk. In the example above, that would mean completely removing the contaminated soil from the site and replacing it with clean material.
Owners, banks, insurance companies, and developers can do a very preliminary check of known hazardous waste or spill sites through the EPA, or available databases.

Thanks for all info
The right module for touch should be loaded, because it works in other environments... the plasma active installation is not a separate one to the others? In that case it could be that something went wrong on the PA-install (but I don't think this happened)...
The devs know about it - I saw a KDE Teatime recently where someone showed a Nexus 7 with Plasma Active: same thing, touch not working...
So hopefully there will be a solution soon (maybe I get a nexus too then )
using PCLinuxOS 2010.7 KDE Version

Awesome photo Not sure what's wrong with the touch. The mouse cursor just doesn't follow your fingers?
At any rate, the Kubuntu folk'll be releasing plasma active images targetted at the nexus 7 starting from 13.04, so that's something to look forward to (http://quintasan.blogspot.com/2012/11/p ... ughts.html)

It seems a problem with kwin or maybe with qt itself, because when i execute kwinactive_gles from console and when i touch the screen it says some like "you started a touchUpdate event witout a touchbegin ".
For what i know, touch events in Qt always start with a touchBegin. I looked a little at the qt doc for more info but i don't find the answer. Maybe this weedkend ill try to complile plasma active from svn and see if it works.

Plasma Active collaborates with Mer, not with Ubuntu really. So for PA, Mer is the best base. Drivers wise it shouldn't matter however - if some drivers work for Ubuntu, they would work for Mer - it's the same GNU/Linux underneath. However Plasma Active itself requires more than just working drivers I think. So some people from the Mer project were working on adapting Mer/PA to run Nexus 7 as far as I know. I'm still waiting for them to publish some images though.

Doesn't mean that the Kubuntu folks cannot make a good alternative image. PA is open technology after all. Canonical and Ubuntu are working specifically on getting the distro playing nice on the Nexus 7, so I'd be interested when the Kubuntu folks also release an image with PA instead of Unity on top.

I'm sure, that when the stuff would be polished out, PA would be able to run on top of various distros there. But Mer project seems to be on the forefront of platform adoption effort for Plasma Active. Here Aaron Seigo mentions the collaboration between Plasma Active and Mer projects: http://aseigo.blogspot.com/2012/10/plas ... three.html

Trying to follow the information to install multiROM and add plasma active rom, but it is's been a bit uphill.
* No information about how to get to "recovery mode" (select from bootloader menu, not that hard)
* chrome can not download files from mediafire. Get firefox instead, or download from pc and move them to the nexus.
* the multirom zip linked from the wiki is broken. Go to the xda thread and get the signed one (http://www.mediafire.com/?0lndsyd5rl9wu1e at the time of writing)
* the plasma-201220109.zip is not selectable as a ubutntu type rom in the twrp recovery -> advanced -> multiROM -> add ROM page - in fact it is not displayed there at all. According to the xda thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthr ... ?t=2093797 linux OSes other than ubuntu and android should be flashed normally ("install" option in twrp recovery).
==> I'm in plasma active!
Random first run expressions:
- The main plasma active interface is quite nice, and actually works quite well and fluently. The launch-and-peak thing works well, except for a few things.
- Had to set the wallpaper for the default activity
- Can't browse, there is no way to enter text into the addressfield, a huge widget appears to block that.
- Trying kpatience, but it won't work, freezes
- How can i set acceptable font and icon sizes?
- Tried kmail, and was able to set up an IMAP account and sync it, but I can't see the mails anywhere. Maybe after restart? Yes, some mails available after restart... But it is very difficult to understand how it is supposed to work. I do not understand that folder list, it is very odd. And not being able to view mail in my inbox makes the app useless.
- The keyboard is horrible, why doesn't it go away when it is not needed?
- I am not able to add my owncloud cal- and carddav resources, since korganizer does not make the paths right, looks like an out of date version of the template in the DAV groupware resource. (It looks for <owncloudserver>/remote.php, which does not work any longer). No testing of calendar and addressbook at this time.
- The list of running applications looks horrible, the text labels are not cleared, so it looks like a typewriter where the paper is stuck, so the same line gets written over with new text...
- Tried mable, but it is not marble touch - why not??? - Oh, marble touch is broken, it is a black area covering the screen... (tried starting it from konsole, which is actually working). Marble is crashing when zooming.
- Calligra words active crashes when zooming, viewing the only document I can find in there. So does okular.
- akregator actually appears to work, it didn't crash when zooming. The UI is a bit funny, but usable.
- The lack of a working browser makes it hard to get some files to test with, as does the missing ability to connect to owncloud.
- Sound works, after using a very unsuitable kmix to unmute and set the volume (controls too small to hit without luck and many attempts)
- I can play both versions of the sintel trailer, quite impressive.
- Like most apps, bangarang is very hard to use, with the desktop controls in itti-bitti-tiny sizes. This really can't be a touch application! The videos was not added to the list of recently played file in bangarangs media lists.
- It seems to use power faster than it can recharge, connected to the laptops usb port :$

Report: "Kill the Gays" Bill Author On Museveni's "Short List" for Cabinet
Jim Burroway
May 16th, 2011
Rumors are rife in Uganda now that President Yoweri Museveni is assembling a new Cabinet following the swearing in of the 9th Parliament. Sunday Monitor has what they say is Museveni's short list of possible cabinet ministers.
When I first saw Anti-Homosexuality Bill author David Bahati's name tapped as Ethics Minister late on Saturday, I re-read the article, and from the first two paragraphs concluded that it as something of a dream team put together by the paper's staff. I was very dismayed to see it, because I have been very impressed with Monitor'scoverage throughout the past two years. But since I took it to be a list put together by Montor's staff, I ignored it. Unfortunately. Because when Warren Throckmorton posted about it this afternoon, it prompted me to go back and look again. And sure enough:
We have defined the country's needs as being economic development, geopolitical interests, social stability, environment and physical resource management, governance and integrity, and efficiency. We have also learned from reliable sources that these are names being considered by the President for appointment to the Cabinet and to junior minister positions. [Emphasis added].
What follows are two lists: the "president's shortlist" and the Monitor's dream list. Formatting of the two lists prevented me from noticing that there were, in fact, two lists. Bahati's name does not appear on Monitor's dream list, but it does appear on the one that matters: the one that reported to be the president's list
Meanwhile, state-supported New Vision, which generally has closer ties to Museveni's government, came out with theor own list about some possible new faces in the cabinet. One interseting name:
Tim Lwanga
The MP-elect for Kyamuswa County, Kalangala District, is also likely to bounce back on the list of the ministers.
Lwanga, a Born-again Christian, is a former Minister of Ethics and Integrity. He had been dropped from the list of ministers after losing in the 2006 parliamentary elections.
Lwanga was replaced by James Nsaba Buturo, who was also defeated in the recent elections.
New Vision doesn't say what position Lwanga would be considred for. Bahati is not on New Vision's list. And so the rumor mill grinds along…
[This post replaces an earlier post in which I erroneously stated that Warren Thockmorton and David Badash (at the New Civil Rights Movement) "misread" Monitor's article when, in fact, it was I who misread it. I apologize to Warren, David, and to the readers who saw that post.]

CASSOPOLIS — A 22-year-old illegal immigrant is facing likely deportation after being convicted in Cass County Courts of having sex with a 14-year-old girl.
Luciano Martinez, who is listed as residing at 9070 Cushing Rd. in Eau Claire, was sentenced to a minimum of 40 months in the Michigan Department of Corrections Friday by Circuit Court Judge Michael Dodge.
Martinez pleaded guilty in May to two charges of criminal sexual conduct in the third degree for admittedly having oral sex and sexual intercourse with a minor at a hotel on Michigan Highway 51 in Dowagiac.
Martinez' attorney, Dale Blunier, described his client as an immature 22-year-old man in a teenager's body, who had never had a girlfriend prior to meeting the victim.
Prosecutor Victor Fitz said Martinez aggressively pursued a relationship with the victim against the wishes of the girl's mother, even going so far as providing the girl with a cell phone so she could call Martinez.
Dodge said Martinez is in the country illegally and his felony conviction subjects him to deportation by federal immigration authorities.
Fitz said he is uncertain if Martinez would have to serve the prison sentence prior to being deported, if immigration authorities decide to deport Martinez to Mexico.
Martinez is credited with 95 days served. Sentence guidelines were 36 to 60 months in prison.
