Port of LA Lays Groundwork for Major Supply Chain Enhancements
November 15, 2012 - SCMR Editorial
When the NITL's 105th annual meeting & TransComp exhibition convened in Anaheim earlier this week, there was considerable attention paid to the pending expansion of the Panama Canal. Shippers learned that West Coast ports will not remain complacent.
More proof of that came when the nation's largest ocean cargo gateway announced major new investment in its infrastructure.
The Los Angeles Board of Harbor Commissioners has approved construction contracts totaling more than $127 million for two major projects that advance modernization of the marine container terminal operated by longtime tenant, TraPac, Inc.
With work due to begin in January, the projects are key elements of the Port of Los Angeles' overall capital improvement program. The port is investing more than $1.2 billion over five years to remain competitive in the global economy.
The first contract, a $71.5 million project for new buildings and state-of-the-art truck entrance and exit gates at TraPac's rear Berths 136-139, was awarded to Costa Mesa-based S. J. Amoroso Construction Co., Inc. The work includes a new administration building designed to meet the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold standard, a new yard operations building, truck scales and a pedestrian bridge.
The facilities project, which also includes backland and other infrastructure improvements at Berths 145-147, will support approximately 540 direct one-year equivalent construction jobs. The work is due to be completed in the summer of 2015.
The second contract is a $55.7 million grade separation project awarded to Sacramento area-based MCM Construction, Inc. The South Wilmington Grade Separation involves building an elevated 4,100-foot roadway that links Harry Bridges Boulevard, Pier A Street and Fries Avenue to TraPac's new entrance and separates truck from rail operations for safer and more efficient flow of traffic.
Both projects are part of a $365 million expansion of the TraPac terminal due to be completed in 2016. In 2009, the Port, TraPac and its parent company, Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL), signed a 30-year lease that paved the way for the modernization project that will increase terminal productivity, green operations and generate thousands of jobs throughout Southern California.

9 Best Self-Tanners
Get a sexy, golden sunless tan using one of the best self-tanner options out there
Why it's great: This fan favorite tanner appears subtly gold on the skin when first applied and slowly grows darker over time, creating a natural-looking tan. "Because this product lasts so long and works so well, it is definitely worth the price," said one top reviewer. Others agree, saying it is "not greasy at all, doesn't clog pores" and "fades evenly."

Some of these make me a little nervous, but the prices are certainly good but I don't think that's a recommendation. You?

You left off Tan Towels, which are the best, most efficient self tanner.

I love gradual tanners, but I'm a little scared to try actual self-tanners.

banana boat is pretty good. It is the least smelly one out of all cheaper self-tanners. Their spray self-tanner is pretty nice too.

Made in the Shade by Arbonne! It gets darker as you get hotter! That means, put it on and...go to the gym, blow dry your hair, go outside!You get a natural looking tan and it has SPF so you can use it as sunscreen. I ALWAYS bring this with me on vacation and you get exceptionally dramatic results. LOVE LOVE LOVE

Interesting recommendations, surprised Lancomes bronzer didn't make the list. It smells great and I've been using it on and off for years. Coppertone is another good lotion that leaves no streak if you reub it on evenly.
by Lani702 Friday, November 2, 2012 at 07:01PM Report as inappropriate
I believe all self tanners are going to leave a streak or two here and there but there are definitely some that are way better than others. I suggest to try at leaste 5 different brands and find the one that best compliments your skin tone. Also, taking advice from here can get you through them a little quicker and may save a little money too in the end!

Howdy folks.
So I'm still jazzed about the idea of a small, self-contained keep where a wizard or some kind of noble would live. I searched my photo archives for an interesting model to play around with for a quick sketch and wouldn't ya know I found one. The base model was that of a series of small buildings, all connected with a small, wrap-around wall. There's no great courtyard or battlements but it is, at least partially, a self-contained living space.
The idea was simple: Combine the separate buildings and their functions into as few spaces as possible. I kept the original idea of a corner tower with an attached hall. I also added a functional building off to the south side where staff might live or something.
The surrounding wall is only eight feet tall so it's probably not going to keep out a hoard of goblins but will definitely keep the public at a distance. I would guess that this design could fit in a town or village or just at the edge of a village - perhaps on a small hill.
I tucked the entrance into the tower in a raised stair that hugs the 'hall' to give it a more reserved look - as though you were being slowly drawn into the grounds to find other nooks and crannies to explore. I wanted to explore the idea of a unique window so I added a small 'attachment' to the side of the wall to make a window-seat. I could easily imagine the noble's children curled up in it waiting for father to come through the gates and return home.
Speaking of windows. I only added windows to the sides of the buildings that faced into the center. I know that one of the main walls would be a 'fire' wall; where the fireplace and chimney would be located but I have no real reason why I didn't include the others for windows. To me it suggests that even though this is a fairly 'modern' design there's still the concern of attack. If you don't have windows that face outside then it makes it harder for people to hurl things at you through them.
I added a small side-building almost as though it were a shed or something. I'm not sure what could be in there but I could easily see some vine-covered lattice on one side. Perhaps a gardening shed or the like?
I was tempted to include a stable on the grounds but settled to make the corner building some kind of 'utility' structure with a small door. I could always add in a larger door for a carriage but then I would need to enlarge the main door or add in a second gate through the walls.
Whatcha think?

California releases results from fifth and final snowpack survey
The California Department of Water Resources announced the results from its fifth and final snowpack survey May 1. The survey confirmed the snowpack's low water content, which will affect water and power deliveries in California this year.
Overall, the average water content of California's snowpack was 40 percent of normal. The relative composition of the Sierra Nevada snowpack, from which Western's Central Valley Project relies on to fill reservoirs and generate hydropower, was 70 percent of normal for the northern Sierras, 35 percent of normal for the central Sierras and 20 percent of normal for the southern Sierras.
Last year's snowpack water content state-wide was 190 percent of normal by this time, which will reduce the impact of the scarce snowpack this year.
"The impact of a below-normal water year has been somewhat mitigated by above-average reservoir storage levels due to unusually wet conditions during the 2010-2011 operating season," said Sierra Nevada Power Marketer Sonja Anderson.
However, operators of both the state and Federal water projects have already announced reduced water and power deliveries for the upcoming year, including from Western's Central Valley Project.

What are these upgrades for? UPGRADES: With Wrist Mount Add $5.00 USD With Hose Mount Add $5.00 USD
Hi Ursula, The computer comes as a module by itself. Upgrades are the way you can attach your computer. You can use a wrist mount and wear it like a watch. Another upgrade is the hose mount, this way you can attach your computer to a gauge hose. Pricing can change every day.
What is the diameter? I have a 45mm boot from an old spg that I would like to fill. Can you recommend anything else?
The sizes on the modules have changed in the last few years. It is difficult to tell what will fit. You might want to contact the manufacture to see if they can suggest a solution. http://www.sherwoodscuba.com/index2.php

Justine Henin jumped an enormous hurdle by the name of Elena Dementieva in Melbourne today on her quest for an second Aussie Open crown and eighth major title.
Fortunately for the fans and viewers the pair played a spirited match featuring high quality shot-making in an almost 3 hour second round battle making it feel more like a semifinal or final match. Unfortunately for Elena she ended up on the losing side of things falling 7-5, 7-6(6). JuJu will face off against a second consecutive Russian, Alisa Kleybanova, for a spot in the Round of 16.
The Belgian has to be feeling pretty confident about her chances after beating the World No. 5 this early in a Slam in only her second tourney back. And, after watching her compete in this match it seems JuJu really hasn't lost a step after being out 20 months, but may in fact have added a few more.
She really could win this whole damn thing, huh?

Henin's serving was poor that's why this close result. If she doesn't improve it, no chance to win this shit. Maybe RG.ReplyDelete
Agreed T.O. wasn't so good. That being said it was only the second round and it's probably going to get better. But she did well to beat the Sydney champ and fifth seed with the balky serve.ReplyDelete
JuJu could be most of the tour with one arm (let's say the left so she can hit that BH) so she's still in a good position, espesh with ReRe all mummified. Kimmie and maybe V are it after the defending champ.
you take a couple of years off, you're making a comeback. how do you make sure you're good and sharp?ReplyDelete
Kudos to Justine/Kim/...

After breaking a four-game losing streak a week ago against Brooke, John Marshall will be in search of an even bigger prize Friday night at Monarch Stadium when state-ranked Wheeling Park pays a visit.
The arch-rival Patriots take an 8-1 record to town in search of a first-round home playoff game at Wheeling Island Stadium next week.
However, Rick Goodrich's John Marshall team (4-5) is looking to finishing off a .500 season and put an end to the Patriots' three-game winning streak in the series, which includes last year's 62-14 pasting.
"This football game has a lot of impact on what happens to us playoff-wise," Park coach Chris Daugherty said. "Where we are going to be and who we will be playing is a direct result of this game.
"It is very important to us. There is a lot riding on it and we will need another great effort to get it done."
While the Monarchs pulled off some late-game heroics to post a thrilling 28-27 victory against the Bruins, Wheeling Park was busy thoroughly dismantling Parkersburg South by a 62-0 margin on the island.
"That was a nice win last week, but this game is just so huge for us," Goodrich said. "A win here could be phenomenal for the past, present and future of this program.
"But the bottom line is that it is also Game 10 for us, the kids need to go out, have fun, make the most of it and who knows? Stranger things have definitely happened."
The Patriots are led by senior quarterback Zach Phillips, who has been on point the past few weeks, including a 9 of 11 showing for 232 yards and three touchdowns in just a hair more than a quarter last week.
Park's other two main skill weapons also had huge nights in a short amount of playing time with Eric Banks catching four passes for 145 yards and three scores and sophomore Savion Johnson picking up 112 yards on 11 carries with two scores on the ground.
"There are just no weaknesses and they are so very talented at the skill positions," Goodrich said. "Phillips is the best quarterback we will have seen all season long.
"But really, the most overlooked part of that team is the line, on both sides of the football. Those kids really do a spectacular job protecting the quarterback and opening up big holes. Then on defense they really do a good job of letting the linebackers run free.
"No question, they're the best team we've played with very few weaknesses. We need to find a way to control the football, make them earn anything that they do get and not allow big plays."
With senior standout Trevor Hardesty bottled up for most of the night, the Monarchs still managed 184 yards and three scores on the ground against Brooke. Sophomore Chase Gump came up big with 106 yards and two of those touchdowns while classmate, and quarterback, Noah Martin added 27 yards and a score.
Martin also threw for 157 yards, including the biggest play of the game, an improbable 76-yard scoring toss to junior Alex Whorton with 1:39 to play that proved to be the game-winner.
"John Marshall doesn't make a whole lot of mistakes," Daugherty said. "And they do what they do very well. They are a football team that has gotten better every week and are playing some of their best football right now.
"This has been a back-and-forth series since it started in 1976 and has always been a very competitive rivalry football game. I think you are going to see more of that on Friday night."

I mentioned a while back that I had "tragically" lost some of my original blog photos when I first switched over to WordPress This is kind of lame because now I have a few recipes out there without photos. RECIPES WITHOUT PHOTOS, PEOPLE. I know. Take a moment to calm yourselves. I'll wait.
Did you get yourself a cocktail? Well I did. I'm feeling much better.
Ok, now that we're all more relaxed, let's just jump into today's second edition of "Recipe Re-do"! This lasagna is one of my favorites, especially for those times when you're having company over, and you want dinner to "magically be ready" without losing an hour of socializing while you're slaving away in the kitchen. It's also a great make-ahead meal if you stack everything up in ye olde crockpot ahead of time and then let 'er rip the next day.
If you're not on board after seeing cheese and sauce, well then, I think you may be in the wrong place.
This time I had a chance to put my favorite sauce in the entire world to use here. (Trader Joe's Three Cheese Pomodoro Pasta Sauce. And I of course mean favorite after my mom's homemade spaghetti sauce, duh. Hi, mom.) And although I normally use whole wheat noodles when making pasta, for some reason I just don't get down with ww lasagna noodles. They just aren't my bag, baby. But these Dreamfields noodles are an awesome lower-carb option if you're into that sort of thing.
OH- and here's a little secret I thought I'd share with you guys. You'll notice the recipe calls for some water, well make sure and use you sauce jar to add this step. Pour it right into the jar, shakeshakeshake, and you'll be able to use up every last drop of that sweet tomato-ey goodness.
So as you can see, this is a super simple recipe. Just layer up all that jazz and throw a lid on your dear sisterwife/crockpot and you're donesies. 6 hours later, you'll be in Cheesy Pasta Town. And who doesn't want to go to there?
Crockpot Lasagna (take 2)
Serves: 6-8
Time: 7 hours
You'll Need:
1/2 box of lasagna noodles (Whole wheat or lower carb)
28 oz jar tomato sauce of your choice
1/2 cup water
1 lb lean grass-fed ground beef
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. dried basil
1/2 a medium yellow onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 egg
1 1/2 cups shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese
15 oz container reduced-fat ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated reduced-fat parmesan cheese
1/4 cup mascarpone cheese (or other soft cheese)
Directions: In a large sauce pan over med-high heat, sautee ground beef and onion, until beef is browned. Add garlic and sautee another minute. Remove from heat. Drain the liquid from the pan and add tomato sauce and water.
Meanwhile in a large bowl, combine 1 cup mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup parmesan and mascarpone cheese. Add egg and mix until smooth.
Spoon about 3/4 cup of the sauce onto the bottom of your crockpot and then start layering noodles. You will have to break them into smaller pieces for this, but I promise it will be ok. Cover noodles with a layer of cheese mixture, then sauce, then noodles again. Repeat and finish with a layer of noodles, then sauce, then the rest of your mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Turn your crockpot to low and let cook for 6-7 hours. (I did 6 and it was cooked to perfection.)
Serve with a side of caesar salad.
You guys, this is seriously one of my favorite meals ever. And the mascarpone cheese was kind of a last-minute add since I just had some I wanted to use up, but it was a great call. Plus pretty much anytime you add more cheese to something it's a good idea.
So that's it for this edition of Recipe Re-Do's! Have you guys ever made crockpot lasagna? Thoughts?
Note 1: You also may notice that I strayed from my usual ground turkey here and went straight for the ground beef. I can't explain it other than the fact that I had some questionable turkey a few months ago and haven't been able to go back to it since.
Note 2: I have no affiliation to any of the products I mentioned here, they are just simply a few of my faves that I wanted to share.
Note 3: Here's the original recipe post.
Note 4: Just kidding. I'm done.

Microsoft Touch Mouse Sensor API (32-bit)
The Microsoft Touch Mouse supports multitouch gestures via an integrated sensor.

Hello everyone!
My husband and I are planning to start a family very soon so, consequently, I am planning way ahead! :o) As a doula and someone who is very familiar with natural childbirth, I am eager to have a homebirth. Currently, however, we live in a small apartment that doesn't have the greatest "soundproofing." I'm concerned (having not experienced labor yet for myself) that giving birth at home may not be an option for us. If I feel the need to vocalize in labor, for example, will I feel inhibited for fear that I'll disturb the neighbors? There is a birth center somewhat close by that we could deliver at, but I just love the idea of giving birth at home.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hey Jennifer!
First off, congratulations on the newest addition!
Thanks for the input...you've given me lots of encouragement. I think the only reason we might still go to a birth center is because we're not certain the floor in our 2nd floor apartment is sturdy enough for a birthing pool...and I KNOW I want one! :o) We'll have to see.
Yay for Montana! I was raised in St. Ignatius and was just out there back in May (not for fun, though, unfortunately). I love Western Montana!!! :o)
Thanks again!
I live in a small apartment on the upper floor of a multi-family home, and I am planning a homebirth this fall. The issue of noise is something I myself was thinking about just the other day. I feel it's best to tell my downstairs neighbor (who also happens to be my landlord) in advance that I'm having my baby at home and that he can probably anticipate some noise. But I have to say--part of the reason I think this is the best course of action for me is that my neighbor's family is a pretty loud one! Since I daily hear them shouting, slamming doors, and their kids playing, I don't at all feel bad about making a racket for a few hours myself.
You're right that you don't want to put yourself in the position of feeling inhibited in labor. Do what it takes to get comfortable with making noise.
Hi, I have had three homebirths, two in apartments. I was concerned that people would freak out too! The first time I told the neighbours ahead of time. But I didn't need too. It was like, you know when your making love and your world is just this space your in and everyone else just seems so far away? Kind of like that. Everyone kept acting normally to me afterwards, one lady seemed really proud that the baby was born in the building. and I thought 'oh my god how did she know, did she hear me?'
Funny thing is I love homebirths, I love birth stories, and ideas, but I cant watch birth videos! Maybe you could watch some as I dont think women really make that much noise in labor.
I wish you a lovely birth!
Create the birth that you choose with flexibility, notify the neighbors in advance what you are planning, sanitize the birthing space before and after, and remember to use The Birth Support Kit (http://www.wholecreations.com/birthprofessionalprods.html).

Here are the highlights:
The Produce Place, which features a bounty of local, organic and otherwise delicious foods, was holding their annual strawberry festival. Here are two of the eager taste testers, Anna Banana and Sonny Bunny (at 12, don't think I can call him that much longer).
Free sample, indeed, and so much more than water to taste.
Mini shortcakes were the perfect way to sample the guest of honor, strawberries.
Anna Banana loved the ice pop samples from a new vendor, Chilly Pops, which I just learned more about this week. Her pick? Strawberry, naturally.
Love, love, love. The folks at Olive & Sinclair couldn't be nicer, and their chocolate is really something special. I paired their chocolate with marshmallows from Bang Candy Company to make a fancy s'mores gift basket for a visiting relative.
These little bees are responsible for making Tru Bee Honey, which we're really enjoying. I'm ready to try some with peaches and a soft cheese from The Bloomy Rind, our area's supplier of delicious cheeses.
Sonny Bunny was VERY adult while drinking his coffee sample.
My guess = 10% coffee, 40% cream, 50% sugar.
The rainy day didn't dampen our experience. Anna Banana never turns down ice cream.
We loved visiting The Produce Place, and even ran into a friend.
You'll just have to take my word that we had a fun time at the West Nashville Farmers Market. The rain poured down, and photos just weren't possible on top of juggling eggs, empanadas and the cauliflower that made a cameo in my last post.
Also on our morning agenda - a stop to pick up our CSA share. We switched to Fresh Harvest this year, and we like that we can shop online each week for only the items we want.
Little Pistachio didn't make it into any of our photos because he was behind the camera with me. But he had a great time and can't wait until he's old enough to eat with us.
But just to make sure you get a day's worth of cuteness:
It's a baby in a wheelbarrow!
Here's our bounty from the morning. I think we did pretty well!
I wish every Saturday could be like this. Today, Saturday means laundry and Cheerios. We do what we can, when we can. What's your Saturday morning like?

We've arrived at our second Women's Marquee Matchup of the Australian Open and this one has 'classic' written all over it. No. 1 seed Justine Henin puts her 32-match win streak on the line as she takes on Maria "Shriek"apova under the lights of Rod Laver Arena for a place in the semifinals.
Though she was broken while serving to close out her 4th round match, the World No. 1 was never in any real trouble against Chinese Taipei's Hsieh Su-Wei, winning 6-2, 6-2. Maria was more impressive in her match, destroying 2-time Grand Slam finalist Elena Dementieva 6-2, 6-0 in 62 minutes. The last time these players met was in the classic final of last season's Sony Ericsson WTA Championships in Madrid, with Justine sneaking out a 5-7, 7-5, 6-3 victory - the longest match in the Championship's history.
Here's what Justine had to say about facing Maria:
"I always know to beat her I have to be at my best. She's a real fighter. She never gives up. Very talented. She's a champion. So I know that against her I will have to be a hundred percent all the time."Maria had this to say about facing the Belgian:
"Justine's the one to beat, [...] She's on a pretty good winning streak, but every match is new. [...] The one in Madrid was tough but physically she got me in the end -- she was tougher than I was in the end. But I had many chances and I was very close to winning."Their strengths are clear: Justine has the mobility, versatility, and court-craft while Maria possesses bludgeoning power from the baseline. There's also no mystery between these two - they know each other's games well. Craig Hickman's Tennis Blog is giving the edge to Justine, but Maria has been the sharper player. We think the Russian will play first-strike tennis, rocket her groundies to the corners, and take balls out of the air - which is the only was she'll win. And we think she will...in 3 sets.

The Manhattan Project -- Its Operations
by Mary Schorn 29 Nov, 2012 in Science Communications
Major operations for the Manhattan Engineer District (Manhattan Project) took place in remote site locations in the states of Tennessee, New Mexico, and Washington, with additional research being conducted in university laboratories at Chicago and Berkeley.
At the Metallurgical Laboratory in Chicago, Enrico Fermi's experiments at the CP-1 pile took place to determine the exact amount of neutron reduction needed for a safe and controlled sustained nuclear reaction. A second pile (CP-2), with external cooling, was built at Argonne in order to move the continuing experiments away from populated areas.

The Manhattan Project -- Its Establishment
by Mary Schorn 03 Aug, 2012 in Science Communications
On August 13, 1942, the Manhattan Engineer District, whose name was based upon the geographical location of its headquarters, was established. In September, the Army appointed Colonel Leslie R. Groves to head the effort. Groves held that the exigencies of war required scientists to move from laboratory research to development and production in record time. Though traditional scientific caution might be short-circuited in the process, there was no alternative if a bomb was to be built in time to be used in the current conflict (World War II).
Various isotope separation methods (uranium enrichment) to produce uranium-235 were being researched at this time. One was gaseous diffusion being done at Columbia and another was the electromagnetic method being done at Berkeley under Ernest O. Lawrence. Based upon the success of the electromagnetic method, the S-1 (The Office of Scientific Research and Development Section On Uranium) Executive Committee recommended building plants in Tennessee at Site X (now Oak Ridge).

The Manhattan Project -- Its Background
by Mary Schorn 12 Jul, 2012 in Science Communications
This year is the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the Manhattan Project, a predecessor of the U.S. Department of Energy. In honor of its impacts on science and history, a 'Manhattan Project' series on this blog will revisit various aspects of its background, establishment, operations, and immediate and long-term influences. The first of the series is about the background of the Manhattan Project.
During the fall of 1939, President F. D. Roosevelt was made aware of the possibility that German scientists were racing to build an atomic bomb and he was warned that Hitler would be more than willing to resort to such a weapon. As a result, Roosevelt set up the Advisory Committee on Uranium, consisting of both civilian and military representatives, to study the current state of research on uranium and to recommend an appropriate role for the federal government. The result was limited military funding for isotope separation and the work on chain reactions by Enrico Fermi and Leo Szilard at Columbia University.

The "basic" Bullet will be $5495 in the USA? Wow, that's $1k less than the C5. What has been changed or cheapened or left off to make that happen?
Simply the economy of scale .... The classic Iron Barrel frame has LONG since returned its tooling and die costs - and black paint is cheap! I'm sure that nothing has been "left out" - It's ALL Enfield - and all REAL Bullet!
Amen to that, but I still can't see where you are all getting the pricing from : Did I miss something? Nigel
I just got back from Vince's. Put a deposit on the " new " black Bullet. RE said early spring, I am so happy I finally get the bike I really wanted.vi

As expected, North Carolina yesterday passed its ban on gay marriage, 61 percent to 39 percent. The Los Angeles Times reports that the measure is more restrictive than other states' marriage amendments: "The measure is more restrictive than all but three of the marriage amendments passed in other states, according to a study published by 11 family law professors at seven North Carolina universities. The measure could even deprive unmarried women of protections against domestic abuse, while restricting child custody and visitation rights for unmarried gay or straight couples, they said."

Human rights activist and author Kerry Kennedy, one of the late Robert F. Kennedy's daughters, will be in Cincinnati Friday to speak about women who create social change.
Kennedy will appear at an event sponsored by the Woman's City Club of Greater Cincinnati. The speech will begin at 7:30 p.m. at the Millennium Hotel, 150 W. Fifth St., in downtown Cincinnati.
Tickets to the event cost $25 for the lecture or $125 for the lecture and a reception with the speaker afterward, and are available online in advance or at the door.
She will present a speech entitled, "The Power of One: Stories of Inspiration from Women on the Cutting-Edge of Social Change."
Kennedy, 52, is president of the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Center for Justice and Human Rights in Washington, D.C. Also, she is chairwoman of the Amnesty International USA Leadership Council.
Kennedy is author of the best-selling books, Being Catholic Now: Prominent Americans Talk about Change in the Church and the Quest for Meaning, along with Speak Truth to Power: Human Rights Defenders Who Are Changing Our World.
She is the seventh of Robert F. Kennedy's 11 children. From 1990-2005, she was married to Andrew Cuomo, the current New York governor and son of Mario Cuomo.

Federal officials this week awarded more than $2.6 million to a local nonprofit agency that oversees various programs aimed at reducing homelessness.
The money, allocated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), was given to Strategies to End Homelessness, which was formerly known as the Cincinnati/Hamilton County Continuum of Care.
In total, HUD awarded nearly $201 million to 731 programs focused on addressing homelessness. The funding will help provide critically needed rapid re-housing, transitional housing, and permanent supportive housing for homeless individuals and families.
Locally, Strategies to End Homelessness coordinates such federal funding. It will divide the money as follows:
** Center for Independent Living Options (permanent housing) — $854,432
** Salvation Army (rapid re-housing for homeless families) — $526,797
** Prospect House (homeless housing and treatment) — $126,000
** Freestore Foodbank (rapid re-housing for homeless individuals) — $739,858
** Lighthouse Youth Services (permanent supportive housing) — $409,122
HUD awards such funding based on outcomes achieved by the local homeless services system.
"Our community received this funding because we have been successful at doing two things: helping homeless people move into housing, and also increase their income, specifically through employment," said Kevin Finn, Strategies' executive director, in a prepared statement.
According to the latest data reported by more than 3,000 cities and counties throughout the United States, homelessness declined 2.1 percent between 2010 and 2011 and dropped 12 percent among military veterans.
Founded in 2007, Strategies to End Homelessness coordinates services and funding toward the goal of ending homelessness. The organization works to prevent at-risk households from becoming homeless, assist people who are homeless back into housing, and to reduce the recurrence of homelessness.
The organization has created a single, coordinated system that includes the use of homelessness prevention services, street outreach, emergency shelter, rapid re-housing, transitional and permanent supportive housing, and services-only programs.
An organization of retired labor union workers is praising the failure of Congress' so-called "super committee" to agree on a deficit reduction deal as a good development for elderly Americans.
The Ohio chapter of the Alliance for Retired Americans said many politicians, especially Republicans, are unfairly blaming the deficit on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. They are using the budget battle as an excuse to dismantle programs they dislike, the group added.
Bryan Fischer, radio host and Christian group American Family Association affiliate, has been trying to prove a point since last month: that gay activists are the "number one perpetrators of hate crimes in America."
a video was posted of Fischer pooping out of his mouth something
about the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Fischer said "You're
going to have the homosexual lobby committing one hate crime after
another against servicemen. This is going to be virtual genocide …

Sarah Palin, who is undecided about running for president, will accidentally collide with Mitt Romney when she wheels her "One Nation" tour into New Hampshire today. Romney, who has announced his intention to run for president, is scheduled to deliver a speech in Stratham, N.H., and Palin said, "Maybe we'll run into him." Palin, in an interview with CNN said that New Hampshire voters aren't particularly special and that it's a coincidence that she and Romney are in New Hampshire at the same time. "I guess that's that nonpolitician in me not looking at a New Hampshire voter any differently just because they have, you know, an earlier primary than somebody else," Palin said.

she never guessed that she'd be one of the poor souls to contribute
so much to Family Radio, which made $18 million in 2009 alone.
"This was not a woman who had anything. She literally had Family Radio on day and night — she went to bed with it and woke up to it," said Heuwetter. "That was all she had." That and about $300,000. "She would have been devastated," Heuwetter said. "Listening to him say things would be better in paradise made her feel better — she totally believed she would leave this world on May 21, and she needed to believe that." Unfortunately, Scmitt died alone at the age of 78 on May 2, 2010 in her small home in Queens, New York.
Camping, who forgot to mention that his prediction that the world would end extends to October —factoring in leap year and all that — assures everyone who gave him money that they will die happy deaths later this year and anyone who hasn't given him money can still make a donation to the Family Radio website.
But please don't actually do that.
Holy shit. Reagan? Really?

Failure to account for default case in switch
The failure to account for the default case in switch statements may lead to complex logical errors and may aid in other, unexpected security-related conditions.
- Undefined: Depending on the logical circumstances involved, any consequences may result: e.g., issues of confidentiality, authentication, authorization, availability, integrity, accountability, or non-repudiation.
Exposure period
- Implementation: This flaw is a simple logic issue, introduced entirely at implementation time.
- Language: Any
- Platform: Any
Required resources
Likelihood of exploit
Avoidance and mitigation
- Implementation: Ensure that there are no unaccounted for cases, when adjusting flow or values based on the value of a given variable. In switch statements, this can be accomplished through the use of the default label.
This flaw represents a common problem in software development, in which not all possible values for a variable are considered or handled by a given process. Because of this, further decisions are made based on poor information, and cascading failure results.
This cascading failure may result in any number of security issues, and constitutes a significant failure in the system. In the case of switch style statements, the very simple act of creating a default case can mitigate this situation, if done correctly.
Often however, the default cause is used simply to represent an assumed option, as opposed to working as a sanity check. This is poor practice and in some cases is as bad as omitting a default case entirely.
In general, a safe switch statement has this form:
switch (value) {
case 'A': printf("A!\n"); break; case 'B': printf("B!\n"); break; default: printf("Neither A nor B\n");
} This is because the assumption cannot be made that all possible cases are accounted for. A good practice is to reserve the default case for error handling.

Comments about ... Notebook Activity Kit (12-pack):
I used this activity to entertain my nephews and nieces who ranged in age from 3-8. All of them spelled out their names on the books and added funny sayings. They each made several books and it was a nice quiet activity they all enjoyed doing together. There aren\'t a lot of games a 3-year old can play with an 8 year old so this worked out well! I recommend getting some stickers too for the kids to put inside their notebooks.

By the age of two, most children have spent more time asleep than awake and overall, a child will spend 40 percent of his or her childhood asleep. Sleep is especially important for children as it directly impacts mental and physical development.
There are two alternating types or states of sleep :
Non-Rapid Eye Movement (NREM) or "quiet" sleep. During the deep states of NREM sleep, blood supply to the muscles is increased, energy is restored, tissue growth and repair occur, and important hormones are released for growth and development.
Rapid Eye Movement(REM) or "active" sleep. During REM sleep, our brains are active and dreaming occurs. Our bodies become immobile, breathing and heart rates are irregular.
Babies spend 50 percent of their time in each of these states and the sleep cycle is about 50 minutes. At about six months of age, REM sleep comprises about 30 percent of sleep. By the time children reach preschool age, the sleep cycle is about every 90 minutes.
Sleep and Newborns (0-3 months)
For newborns, sleep during the early months occurs around the clock and the sleep-wake cycle interacts with the need to be fed, changed and nurtured. Newborns sleep a total of 10.5 to 18 hours a day on an irregular schedule with periods of one to three hours spent awake. The sleep period may last a few minutes to several hours. During sleep, they are often active, twitching their arms and legs, smiling, sucking and generally appearing restless.
Newborns express their need to sleep in different ways. Some fuss, cry, rub their eyes or indicate this need with individual gestures. It is best to put

ORACLE Ariz. (Reuters) – Waving U.S. flags and playing patriotic music, dozens of protesters demonstrated in southern Arizona on Tuesday against the arrival of undocumented immigrants for processing at a center near the border before being returned to their homelands.
In a scene reminiscent of similar protests in California, about 65 demonstrators gathered at a fork in the road near the small town of Oracle to complain that the federal government's response to a surge of new arrivals from Central America was putting their communities at risk.
Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu, who has been a sharp critic of the Obama administration's border policy, said buses of illegal immigrants are being brought to a local facility, the Sycamore Canyon Academy north of Tucson, for processing, even though residents did not want them there.
"We don't need an additional issue here when we have our hands full with drug smugglers and others who pass through our county," Babeu told the demonstrators.
"We are here to ensure the law is followed even though the federal government is not enforcing it's own immigration laws."
The influx of new immigrant arrivals has put a strain on customs and border infrastructure, especially in Texas, and led federal authorities to move some to other states for processing. That has sometimes triggered anger in the communities involved, such as in Murrieta, California.
In the Arizona crowd, demonstrators wore badges and held signs with slogans praising another Arizona sheriff who has been critical of Washington's border policy, Maricopa County's Joe Arpaio.
Organizers handed out "Junior Deputy for Maricopa Sheriff's office" badges and about a dozen Arizona State Militia members looked on, clad in black shirts and khaki pants. Ron Thompson, an organizer of the anti-illegal immigration protest in Oracle, said residents had to stand up for themselves.
"We're concerned about our community, about the gang members that might be among these kids, and the diseases they might bring," Thompson said.
The new arrivals detained at the border include more than 52,000 children traveling alone from Central America who have been caught at the U.S.-Mexico border since October, twice as many as the same period the year before.
U.S. immigration officials say the crisis is being driven by poverty and gang violence in countries such as Honduras and El Salvador, as well as rumors spread by smugglers that children who reach the States will be allowed to stay.
A counter-protest in support of the immigrants took place about 2 miles away, where some carried placards bearing the word "welcome" in Spanish. Frank Pierson, a 35-year-old Oracle resident, said he did not want his town to be known for turning away kids in need.
"We're bearing witness," Pierson said. "How could anyone be so cruel and venomous to block buses full of children?"

Cyclones To Face No. 7 Michigan, Illinois State
AMES, Iowa – The Iowa State gymnastics team (0-1 overall, 0-0 Big 12) will play host to No. 7 Michigan (0-0) and Illinois State (0-1) in Hilton Coliseum on Friday at 6:30 p.m. It will be the first regular season tri-meet that the Cyclones have hosted since 2010.
The Cyclones will look to build on their season-opening performance against No. 15 Penn State. Iowa State fell to the Nittany Lions by a score of 193.925-193.550, but posted its highest team score in a season opener since 2007.
The performance of junior Caitlin Brown was one of the highlights in the Cyclones' first meet. The Apple Valley, Minn. native won the all-around competition by posting a career-high score of 38.900. The Cyclones also boasted the top three scorers in the floor exercise (Henrietta Green, Milan Ivory, Brown) and balance beam (Alex Marasco, Brown, Green) in their dual with the Nittany Lions. Iowa State also had the two highest scores of the night on bars, led by Green and Camille Santerre.

After 7 years as a band, The Scare yesterday declared they were pulling the plug and disbanding after their next run of four shows.
It's always disappointing when a band you've supported and enjoyed splits up. And The Scare will always be close to my heart because they were one of the very first bands i documented with my camera, way back in 2004 on my crappy point and shoot before i even knew how to use an SLR.
So here's a bit of a photo tribute to The Scare and all the times i've seen them in the past 6 years.
That photo above felt like the start of something exciting when it came to shooting live bands for me. In your face, emotional and loud.
The Scare were always a blast to photograph, not least because lead singer Kiss was so confrontational and unpredictable.
When The Scare performed at the AMP award ceremony in 2009 i thought it was going to be the start of a new trajectory for them. Their new Daniel Johns produced record was about to be released, they performed their strong lead single No Money, and i felt for sure they'd be a good bet to pick up the Australian Music prize the next year. Shockingly they didn't even get to the finalists.
It's sad to see the end of The Scare, but i look forward to seeing what rises from their ashes.

8 Bite-Sized Thanksgiving Recipes
Thanksgiving is typically a go big or go home type of affair, and a time when we are usually measured up by how big of a pile we stack onto our dinner plates. Perhaps this year you can consider downsizing the scale of your holiday dishes with these bite-sized yet still festive alternatives. They're perfect for a day-after Friendsgiving.
Items like the rolled turkey breast will give you all the spirit of Thanksgiving with a smaller dose of tryptophan. While miniature items like the mini cobblers and pumpkin pies just allow everyone to more easily graze and mix flavors. These more approachable recipes can save you time and money, and post-Thanksgiving refrigerator space.

CF president is a bargain
Published: Sunday, May 19, 2013 at 6:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, May 17, 2013 at 7:34 p.m.
When the trustees at the College of Central Florida hired Jim Henningsen last year as the college's new president, it was the culmination of a lengthy national search that had the trustees gushing. A great leader. Loves engaging the students and the community. Very smart and likable guy.
Turns out, he was a bargain to boot.
Florida's chief inspector general this week submitted a report to Gov. Rick Scott analyzing the compensation packages (when you're a college prez, you don't get a paycheck, you get a compensation package) of the presidents at Florida's 28 state colleges, formerly known as community colleges. What the report showed is there are broad differences in how the various college boards of trustees pay their presidents, and some get extraordinary perks. It also showed Henningsen is one of the lowest paid and most frugally compensated.
Henningsen's salary, for instance, is $200,000. Not bad for these parts, maybe, but compared to his college president sisters and brothers, it's low on a wage scale that averages $251,000.
Add in all his perks, and Henningsen is even a better deal. His total compensation package is $230,100, while the average for the state is $350,403.
Of course, some of the college presidents get ridiculous perks and bonuses. The president of Miami-Dade receives a $48,000 housing allowance on top of his $367,000 salary and has a total compensation package of $630,157, the biggest among the 28 schools.
At Seminole State College, the school kicks in $122,000 to the president's retirement fund, a practice that also is carried out at 27 of the colleges — all but CF.
While state college presidents get everything from annuities and major medical insurance plans to deferred compensation packages and housing allowances, Henningsen's list of perks is pretty short. He gets a car allowance of $4,500 a year (the average is $8,248) and he receives 30 days vacation and 12 sick days. He does have one of the better severance packages, which calls for him to be paid "up to" one year's salary if he leaves CF.
What a bargain!
THE POWER OF ONE: Mildred Musho has never been one to sit by while something needs to be done.
Musho, who is a civic activist in Marion Oaks, wrote a letter to the editor that ran on May 12 lamenting the budget cut Marion Senior Services faces in the wake of the sequester — a cool $78,000. Musho suggested if 23 percent of all Marion Countians — about 78,000 — would each send $1 to Senior Services, the problem would be solved.
Well, her idea is working. Senior Services Executive Director Sarah Stroh told me Friday that in response to Musho's plea, the agency had receive more than $3,800 in $1 donations (some bigger). Wow! The power of one person thinking outside the box.

Two Killed on Aconcagua
The Department of Natural Resources in Argentina confirmed yesterday that the bodies of two American climbers who had gone missing New Year's eve have been found.
Jarod VonRueden (22) and Francis Keenan (28) began their climb of Aconcagua (6,962m) on December 20. Their original party included Josep Foncen (19), who separated from the group before they started up the Polish Glacier (6400m), a frequented route of ascent. The bodies of Von Rueden and Keenan were found in the area of the glacier.
"The bodies are at 6,400 meters [20,997 feet] high in a channel 20 meters [65.5 feet] down, so it is assumed that they suffered a fall that caused their death," said Natural Resources Director Daniel Gomez.
Park rangers reported that the two climbers tried to ascend the peak in the afternoon, at an "inappropriate" time.
Today a rescue squad will make an attempt to reach the bodies and develop a plan to lower them in the following days.
Aconcagua is the highest mountain in the Americas and is in the Andes in the province of Mendoza, Argentina. Although the two most popular routes are technically uncomplicated, the mountain sees multiple causalities every year and is said to have the highest death rate of any mountain in South America. This is due to the mountain's high accessibility—many of the climbers who attempt it are unqualified to do so.Since the climbing season began in November, Aconcagua has seen 1,600 climbers, 80 percent attempting the summit. There are currently some 700 climbers on the mountain.

Born Stephen Andrew Baldwin on May 12, 1966 in Massapequa, NY, he was the youngest of six children - including future stars Daniel, Alec and Billy - of Carol and Alexander Rae Baldwin, Jr. While attending Massapequa's Berner High School, he excelled as a vocalist, becoming a three-time, all-state soloist and winning a state award for a cappella singing by the time he graduated. Tragedy befell the Baldwin household when his father - a high school teacher and football coach - succumbed to lung cancer in 1983.
