Area school board vacancies filled
Jan 03, 2013 (The Sun - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- All five seats on local district governing boards that remained vacant after the November election have been filled.
Yuma County School Superintendent Tom Tyree announced that Barbara Foote had been appointed to the Yuma Elementary District 1 governing board, Cynthia Quiroz and Rosa Bustillos to the Wellton Elementary School District board and C. David Gonzalez and Fern Soto to the Somerton Elementary School District board.
"We had a number of very capable candidates expressing interest in being considered for appointment," said Tyree. "All are appointed until the next general election in two years." Foote previously served on the Crane Elementary School District governing board from 1988 to 1994.
"Education has always been very important to me. My husband and I, we raised five children and they all went on to college... to me education is the door to opportunity, if somebody is willing to work hard the opportunities out there, they can do anything they want to, whether that is to go on to college or a trade school." Foote noted that her educational philosophy is to give students the tools to become self-reliant.
Gonzalez, who has been teaching at San Luis High School for nine years, said he felt it was important to serve on the board to share ideas from a teacher's point of view. He previously serving on the Somerton board for four years.
"I went through the Somerton district growing up and I've been here almost all my life. It's just really important to me to be a part of a community and share what I have learned as a teacher and bring that element to the school board and be able to share that with my colleagues to help make decisions." Soto said she appreciated being reappointed after investing five years of service to the students, staff and community.
As a Cocopah tribal member and a parent and grandparent of children who are part of the school district, she said she felt that she brings a uniqueness and a diversity to decision making that will benefit the community. She also previously served on the management team for the Cocopah HeadStart and Daycare centers and also as one of the original members of the Cocopah Education Board.
"I am proud to be able to represent my tribe being a Cocopah member, and a school board member and being able to bring a certain aspect of our culture to all of the students whether it is through special events or curriculum." Quiroz, appointed to the Wellton board again after serving for four years, said she applied again because she wanted to be a voice for the community, students and faculty.
She is currently the sitting board president. "I want to continue to get our school to be up to date and up to the state standards ... We just purchased a bus and we're hoping to continue doing good for the school as a board." Bustillos, who also previously served the Wellton board, said she hopes to make a difference not only for the students and faculty but also for her son, who attends Wellton Elementary School.
"Being part of (the board) just makes me feel good knowing that's where I went to school when I was a little and my son is there now... It's a great honor to be able to be appointed to be on the board and to be a part of the school system and to be able to give back to my community."

Bid to Give Pay Raises to Library Employees Raises Some Eyebrows Staff Pay, Benefits Would Jump about 9 Percent
Stevens, Susan, Daily Herald (Arlington Heights, IL)
Byline: Susan Stevens Daily Herald Staff Writer
A request for pay raises for Naperville library employees is raising a few eyebrows on the city council, which is struggling to balance a budget with declining revenues.
If the request is approved, preliminary estimates indicate library employees would receive a 9 percent raise in pay and benefits.
"I don't think any of our employees should expect a 9 percent bump," Councilman David Fiore said Monday, when the council met to review budget proposals. "It's not going to happen this year."
Libraries Director Donna Dziedzic said a recent market study indicates 84 percent of Naperville's library employees are underpaid compared to surrounding libraries.
City council members asked to see the study. They also want library officials to write a more detailed report explaining how they will spend the additional $544,000 they are requesting to cover salaries and benefits - including higher insurance costs - in the coming fiscal year.
In their budget request, library officials grouped all the salary and benefits costs under one line and did not separate various categories.
Library officials still must calculate the size of the market- adjustment raises, said Marcia Lebeau, assistant director of administrative services for the Naperville libraries. …

Parnell calls out Alaska senators in oil speech
JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Gov. Sean Parnell, who has taken aim at Senate Democrats for their position on his oil tax-cut plans, named names in a speech this week to the Alaska Support Industry Alliance.
The industry group has supported the Republican governor's push to cut taxes as a way to boost industry investment and help reverse a trend of declining oil production. Parnell told members of the group that some legislators think Alaska's economy is going to shrink, so government needs to get all the money it can now.
Urged by some in the audience to give names, the governor said Democratic Sens. Bill Wielechowski and Hollis French of Anchorage and Joe Paskvan of Fairbanks were among the senators who have a different view of economics than he and other legislators do.
A video of the speech was released through Parnell's social media feeds on Friday.
Parnell has been critical of the Senate's bipartisan majority for its resistance to his tax-cut plans, and has tailored that criticism more narrowly to Senate Democrats as the election year has unfolded.
Wielechowski and French have been among the staunchest defenders of the current tax structure, known as Alaska's Clear and Equitable Share, or ACES.
The two senators and Paskvan have challenged Parnell and his administration on his tax-cut plans. All three lawmakers are in re-election fights.
Parnell has been raising raise money for Republican candidates, including at least some of the senators' opponents.
"The senators I mentioned, and those who think like them, have done nothing to turn around declining North Slope production," Parnell said in the speech. "They've done nothing to grow Alaska's economy. Instead, they protected status quo decline."
He referred to them as senators "with a spine for decline."
Neither Wielechowski nor Paskvan had heard the speech. Wielechowski called Parnell's tax plan a giveaway, "with no strings attached," that would be disastrous for the state's economy and budget.
"He wants to take Alaska from being an owner state to being an owned state," he said.
Wielechowski noted that the Senate passed legislation during the regular session that would spur production from new fields.
Paskvan, who is co-chair of the Senate Resources Committee, noted the work he's done in delving into issues surrounding development of shale or viscous oil, as well as development off-shore.
"To think that I've ever advocated in this shrinking pie versus increasing pie discussion that the governor has started, my position has always been that I'm most optimistic for Alaska's future for the next 50-100 years," he said.
Just because Parnell says something "doesn't mean it's true," he said.
In 2011, coalition leaders refused to follow the House's lead and pass Parnell's tax cut plan, saying they didn't have the information needed to make a sound policy call. The Senate took the lead in crafting an oil tax plan this year, but a comprehensive tax plan failed to garner adequate support within the bipartisan caucus.
The Senate instead, in the waning hours of the regular session, passed a bill that included provisions that would have given a tax break for new-field production. The House shot that down, with the speaker saying the plan hadn't been vetted in the House.
A tax-cut plan put forth by Parnell during this year's special session was criticized by lawmakers in both parties and chambers.
Alaska relies heavily on oil production to run its government, but industry production has been declining. Critics of ACES, including the North Slope's three major producers, say the tax structure eats too deeply into their profits when prices are high and is a disincentive to new projects and new drilling.
Parnell has said that addressing oil production is a top priority for him heading into the next legislative session.
Parnell also took aim at critics who have labeled his plan a $2 billion a year giveaway, calling it a bumper sticker slogan but misleading. During debate on his 2011 tax-cut plan, it was estimated the plan would cut revenue by $1.8 billion to $2.1 billion by fiscal year 2017 if there was no new production. It was billed as a worst-case scenario.

|RAKON UK LIMITED Patent applications
|Patent application number
|OSCILLATOR HAVING REDUCED SENSITIVITY TO ACCELERATION - An oscillator includes resonator portions each mounted to a substrate via one or more mountings at one end and having an active resonance region defined between a set of electrodes. Each resonator portion has a longitudinal axis directed along the resonator portion from the mounted end to a free end. The resonator portions are mounted such that their longitudinal axes are directed in different directions, e.g. an anti-parallel arrangement, so that acceleration sensitivity vector components aligned with the longitudinal axis cancel each other out.
|OSCILLATOR - This invention relates to an oscillator having reduced sensitivity to acceleration. The oscillator includes a plurality of asymmetrically mounted resonator portions each having an active resonance region. The asymmetric mounting of the resonator portions means that each resonator portion has an axis passing through its active resonance region along which the acceleration sensitivity vector is dominant, i.e. the sensitivity to acceleration along the direction defined by one axis is much greater than the sensitivity to acceleration in other directions. The resonators are mounted in an oscillator such that their dominant axes are directed in different directions, e.g. an anti-parallel arrangement, which means that the dominant acceleration sensitivity vectors can cancel each other out.

text: Greece Still Needs a Long-Term Growth Plan Darren Williams October 27, 2012 Europe, Economics Even by the standards of the sovereign-debt crisis, the provisional agreement reached yesterday by euro-area finance ministers and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on a second Greek rescue package looks like a messy fudge. It is clear that Greece's euro-area partners are determined to avoid a near-term euro-area exit, but a long-term solution will require a much more effective growth strategy. The good news is that the latest deal should allow for the release of €34.4 billion of funding by the end of the year (€ 10.6 billion in state financing and €23.8 billion for bank recapitalisation), with a further €9.3 billion in the first quarter of 2013, subject to Greece meeting various performance criteria. This should help reduce the risk of a near-term Greek default or euro-area exit. But the credibility of the programme ultimately depends on the underlying debt-sustainability analysis. The latest plan is to reduce Greek government debt to 124% of gross domestic product (GDP) by 2020 and "substantially" below 110% by 2022. To this end, euro-area governments are willing to provide funds for Greece to conduct a bond-buyback operation. They will also "consider" cutting the interest rate on loans extended under the first Greek Loan Facility and channelling all profits from the European Central Bank's bond-purchase programme back to Greece. In addition, the maturity of all official loans to Greece will be extended by 15 years and interest payments on loans provided under the second programme by the official bailout fund, the European Financial Stability Facility, will be deferred for 10 years. The quid pro quo for the IMF's acquiescence in the latest deal is a commitment from governments to consider additional measures to keep the debt trajectory on track should that prove necessary and so long as Greece remains compliant with the terms of the new programme. However, the IMF will not sign off on this until it has seen the (uncertain) results of the bond-buyback operation. In the near term, the buyback operation assumes central importance. Even though this needs to be completed by December 12, the details are still being worked on. If the buyback is successful, then (subject to parliamentary approval in a number of countries) euro-area governments and the IMF should be able to formally approve the new programme on December 13. If the buyback fails, there will be a gap in the new programme and policymakers will have to go back to the drawing board. Despite this residual uncertainty, it seems clear that other euro-area governments are willing to offer additional financial assistance to Greece—if it delivers on its reform commitments. Moreover, the terms of that support are becoming clearer and could serve as a template for other countries. In the first instance, there is a gradual extension of official loans to ultra-long maturities at heavily subsidized interest rates. But, if this is not sufficient—as may well be the case in Greece—write-offs of principal and accrued interest on official loans will then become necessary. Recent comments from policymakers suggest that this type of gradual debt-forgiveness could be conducted in a phased way as a "reward" for progress in Greece. Unfortunately, all of this will matter for naught if policymakers cannot stop the Greek economy from imploding.

Frank Baxter was one of the most popular and genuinely charismatic professors ever to teach at USC. The bald, bespectacled Baxter, a professor of English literature, had such a great reputation that the Daily Trojan once opined that if you didn't take Baxter, "you haven't been to college."
His annual Christmas readings at Bovard Auditorium were so popular that one year, there wasn't even standing room. Instead, students clustered around loudspeakers outside in the rain, clutching their umbrellas as they took in every word.
But the professor also contributed to educational television in its fledgling state. Before Baxter, the medium seemed to be struggling just to survive. National Educational Television (NET) was born in 1952, a network that would become the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) in 1970. It was a decidedly inauspicious debut. Most of the programing was done in actual classrooms, showcasing nervous pedagogues, chalk in hand, scribbling words of wisdom on blackboards while sweating under the searing heat of early television lights. The overall impression was underwhelming and hardly inspirational.
This all changed with Baxter. It can be argued that he, and he alone, was responsible for making educational TV a popular venue for learning. There were other pioneers but no one came close to having the universal impact that Baxter had on the American public from 1953 to 1970. A born teacher, his infectious love of learning, wide range of interests and charismatic personality overcame the meager budgets and technical drawbacks of those early years.
Sonnets & Sunspots: "Dr. Research" Baxter and the Bell Science Films, was published by BearManor Media in May 2014.
Baxter debuted on TV in 1953, the same year classic sitcoms like I Love Lucy ruled the airwaves. A Los Angeles TV station featured Baxter in a series called Shakespeare on TV. It was a huge hit, and eventually took the country by storm. Before long Baxter had garnered two Emmys for his work and began starring in other small-screen educational programs. By the end of his career he would win a total of seven Emmys and the first Golden Gavel Award.
In the late 1950s and early 1960s, he was everywhere on the video dial, hosting dramas, making guest appearances in sitcoms and even trading comedic barbs on variety shows. Baxter's status as America's favorite academic reached new heights when he starred in a series of popular science programs sponsored by Bell Telephone. Originally airing on TV, shows such as Our Mr. Sun (1956) and Hemo the Magnificent (1957) enjoyed a whole new life when transferred to 16mm film and distributed to schools throughout the country.
Baxter not only single-handedly put educational television on the map, but became a cherished and indelible memory in the minds of countless baby boomers. His trailblazing Shakespeare series is the "ancestor" of online classes and telecourses offered in colleges and universities today.
Francis Condie Baxter was born on May 4, 1896, in Newbold, New Jersey. He became an accountant as a young man, but soon joined the army to serve in France during World War I. He emerged from the war unscathed, save for the lasting legacy of a wooden case of salmon that fell on his foot. With typical humor, he said, "It gives me a picturesque limp on rainy days."
After the war he went to college and eventually obtained his Ph.D. from Cambridge University in England. He started teaching at USC in 1930. Baxter was noted for making any subject he taught interesting and exciting. His lively lectures were augmented by various models he brought into the classroom. Probably the most famous of these was Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, a model he made himself.
The first four Bell Science films were produced and directed by the legendary director Frank Capra, perhaps best known for the perennial Christmas favorite It's a Wonderful Life. Warner Brothers then took over the series, producing Gateways to the Mind, The Alphabet Conspiracy, The Thread of Life and About Time. All used Baxter's services.

As his fame grew, he was a frequent guest on television shows and even tried his hand at acting. Baxter appeared on the Tennessee Ernie Ford Show in 1957, participating in a series of humorous skits. In the plot, Baxter wants to go into "real show business" by playing the bongo drums. He also essayed the role of "Dr. Gagan," an industrialist giving out a scholarship, in the 1963 high school drama Mr. Novak.
Although Baxter retired in 1961, he kept quite busy in films, acting and lecturing throughout the country. He died in 1982 at age 85, honored as one of USC's greatest educators.
Eric Niderost is an instructor of history at Chabot College in Hayward, California. A freelance author, he has published nearly 300 articles on American and European history. His most recent book, Sonnets & Sunspots: "Dr. Research" Baxter and the Bell Science Films, was published by BearManor Media on May 23.

Nha Trang Travel Guide: 454 reviews and 1,030 photos
There is something for everyone here in Nha Trang. A relaxing holiday atmosphere, offshore islands to be explored as well as plenty of partying to be done. On the other hand, a booming fishing industry and some amazing Cham ruins, Buddhist pagodas and some very special views.
The venue for the Miss Universe contest in July 2008.
The name Nha Trang is thought to be derived from the Cham word "yakram", meaning bamboo river,
The light here seems to have a radiant quality-amatuer photos turn out quite amazing.
- Pros:Plenty of things to do & places to eat & drink
- Cons:Sadly, will most likely become over-developed and lose it's charm
- In a nutshell:An easy, happy place to chill out for a few days

These are very informative tips with great tips thanx for sharing Betts...I really enjoyed this place.....Denny..
Nice tips Betty.
Glad you enjoyed your visit to Nha Trang. I went there with one of my sons in 1995 and he liked it so much that he stayed there at the beach for a few days while I went up to Hanoi and back on the train.
Great little page Betts..I only overnighted here..caught a flight up to Da Nang..arrived late and left EARLY.Id love to go back..I did manage a stroll along the beachfront walkaway.I wanted to see Long Son Pagoda, Imagine..$ 20 for a nights accommodation!
Was your son disappointed he missed out on being in Nha Trang for the Miss Universe contest!??? Opening pic looks magical, a bit like the beach at Hoian. The Island boat trip looks great.
Hi Betty! have added your Mexican food/pool game tip to my trip planner...sounds great! And yes...you do mention beer a lot...I get thirsty reading your pages!!! :-)
nice tips Betty,hope to see these places someday.
Your trip sounds and looks a lot better than the one I did. We had a very old boat, with 50 people on it, too many, we were squashed in, and at meal time not enough room for everybody.
Looks to be a fascinating place to visit. Really awesome architecture
some fantastic tips here...great start to your pages...

Marlow & Daughters [sic] Is a Total Trendsetter
Chefs who butcher — just one trend identified by 'Food & Wine.'
Some New York spots get name-checked in Food & Wine's "50 Trends to Try," which appears in the next issue and isn't yet online. Trends include gourmet food courts (Danny Meyer at Citifield, Alex Raij at Terminal 5), wursts (boudin noir at Irving Mill, the "vertical" sausage at Dogmatic), goat (Anthos), and of course the haute-uniform trend we've pointed to. And there are chefs who butcher, such as Tom Mylan at Marlow & Sons —
or as F & W calls it in a Freudian slip and soon Marlow & Daughters!

SUNRISE, Fla. -- Earlier on Friday, New Jersey Devils coach Pete DeBoer joked about the last time he was at the Bank Atlantic Center podium, noting that it was to talk about being fired by the Florida Panthers.
Obviously his mood was better on this particular occasion, but not as good as it would be a few hours later when New Jersey roared out of the gate, then held on to defeat the Panthers 3-2 in the first game of this Eastern quarterfinals series.
DeBoer -- coaching an NHL playoff game for the first time in his career -- has seen his talented, yet often underappreciated club quietly evolve into one of the league's elite squads over the course of the season. New Jersey went 21-9-3 after the All-Star break, including six consecutive victories to end the regular season.
Yet what mattered most on this night was how the Devils carried that momentum into the start of the game. And by the time the opening period had ended, New Jersey was threatening to make this one a laugher, finishing the frame with a 3-0 lead on goals by Patrik Elias, Dainius Zubrus and Ryan Carter and a mind-boggling 26-9 shot advantage.
"We were ready," DeBoer said. "We had a tough week of practice and we came off a real good run to end the season, so I felt good about our game. And that's how you want to start."
No doubt. Unless of course your team is seeing its first playoff action in a dozen years, the situation the Panthers found themselves in.
With a sellout crowd of 19,119 offering the kind of vocal support not often seen around these parts, Florida took an uncharacteristically physical approach to the game's opening minutes. But rather than forcing the Devils back on their heels, the strategy seemed to backfire as the Panthers' aggressiveness created gaps in their coverage to allow for New Jersey's skilled forwards to move about the offensive zone with almost reckless abandon.
In one instance, it was Ilya Kovalchuk twisting and turning unencumbered before setting up Zach Parise for an excellent scoring chance. And in another there was Travis Zajac getting alone on Florida goalie Jose Theodore. Theodore, a controversial choice as the Game 1 starter to some, came up big on those occasions, and several others as well.
But faced with a period-long shooting gallery, the veteran netminder was unable to do much more than keep the game from getting out of hand.
"Obviously, they kept coming pretty hard," Theodore said. "Take away that first period, we played a solid game. But in the playoffs, we can't wait a period to get ready."
Certainly not when facing someone like Martin Brodeur in the other net. Brodeur was beaten in the second period by strong individual plays from Florida's Sean Bergenheim and Kris Versteeg but made several big stops in the third period when Florida went into desperation mode looking for the equalizer. Brodeur secured the 100th playoff win of his storied career with the victory.
"I think we made it a little nerve racking for a while there, but you always feel good when you know he's back there," Parise said. "The bottom line is we came in here with a game plan to pressure them, and we executed it. That's what it takes to win this time of year."

Additional Information
About Asociación ASDIRASDIR (Asociación de Desarrollo Integral Rural - Association for the Development of Rural Communities) is a community-based organization that works to promote development in the villages and communities where it serves. It was founded in 1999 in the village of Nimasac, Totonicapán Department, by a handful of local men and women to support community projects and group loans. Today ASDIR has 5 offices across 3 departments (Totonicapán, Sololá and Suchitepéquez) serving more than 6,000 clients, most of them in rural communities.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

You can also add 1 cup of cooked peeled and deveined shrimp when you add the clams for extra flavor and texture.
Will not make this recipe again. Thought it was bland. Would have tasted better by just dumping clam sauce right out of the can.
This is my husbands favorite dish!!! I make it when he has had a hard day at work, on special occasions or just to say "I love you!" Thanks for a great recipe!

CLEVELAND (AP) — U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich (koo-SIN'-ich) of Cleveland says he will to run for re-election in a newly redrawn district across northern Ohio, setting up a possible primary fight with fellow Democratic incumbent Marcy Kaptur of Toledo.
The eight-term Kucinich asked supporters Wednesday to help his campaign in a district he says favors him because 57 percent of registered Democrats come from his old district.
Kucinich says the GOP-drawn district gives him a good chance to stay in Congress representing Ohio. He had toyed with the idea of running in Washington state.
The new district stretches alongside Lake Erie from Cleveland to Toledo.
Kaptur couldn't be reached for immediate comment on a possible primary fight. A message seeking comment was left at her Washington office.

My Brita Aqua Fountain Water Filter Chiller runs very hot and hence the cooling fan runs all the time and is VERY loud. It burnt the melamine work surface in my kitchen over a 4 month period, doing about 1000 work of damage. The water is not very cold. The carbon filter leaves small black specs in the water. Dont touch it with a bargepole.

Victims' families, others have lost trust in OSBI
Editor's note: This story is Part Two of a three-part series examining the operations of the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation. It is a joint project of The Oklahoman and the Tulsa World.
Copyright 2010, The Oklahoman
Such is the level of distrust the Devineys have developed for the state agency charged with finding justice for their daughter, Sheila Ann Deviney. The Devineys say the OSBI has "demonized" and treated them "hostile" because of their relentless quest to see the case solved.
Now they are disheartened and disillusioned.
"The agent in charge (Joe Lahue) finally told us to 'Go home and forget about it. Perhaps the person who takes my place when I retire will solve it,'" David Deviney told The Oklahoman last week. "We spend billions of dollars overseas to fight terrorism, but let it happen in your front yard and the government will turn their back on you."
OSBI spokeswoman Jessica Brown, who declined to make agents available for comment, disputed the Devineys' claims, calling Lahue a "most gentle man" who has "never been anything but polite to the family."
Yet Deviney's story is one shared by several victims' families, private investigators, defense attorneys and public officials statewide regarding the OSBI.
Together, they portray an agency that has generally abandoned old-fashioned, street-level police work; trampled the feelings of victims' families; displayed arrogance in the face of evidence; and engaged in territorial disputes with other law enforcement agencies.
"We try to find the things they have done poorly, and we always have," said Joe Robertson, the Oklahoma Indigent Defense System's executive director. "Frankly, we've done so with great success. Frequently, we see OSBI zero in on a suspect and never move off of that person, regardless of the evidence.
"So I'm not saying they're a crack agency. But I will say, in court, they have always been very professional and open with their discovery. In that respect, we have a very good relationship."
Text messages
Jim and Stacey Rilee haven't rested since a paraglider spotted their daughter's decomposing body May 8, 2009, while flying over Poteau Mountain. Authorities later found Jody Rilee Wilson's abandoned vehicle 103 miles away outside a Henryetta restaurant.
Initially, the Rilees were optimistic.
"After meeting with OSBI, we walked away feeling like they were earnestly investigating our daughter's death as much as they are capable," Stacey Rilee said from her Succasunna, N.J., home.
Confidence vanished after a conversation between Jim Rilee and OSBI agent Donnie Long turned to the subject of a key suspect and text messages.
"I called him (Long)," Rilee said. "I said, 'Have you gotten the text messages from the cell phone?' He said, 'I have the phone records.' I said, 'No, the specific text messages.'
"He said, 'We can't get those messages, but I'll check.'
A few days passed, and Long called Rilee back and said he'd learned agents actually could get the text messages. By then, it was too late. The cell phone provider had purged the texts from its system.
"I was livid," Rilee said. "He didn't know. That's not his fault. I would think that's a training issue. Maybe that was the only thing he wasn't trained. I don't know. But we missed an opportunity to possibly gain some key evidence."
Brown said Rilee's account is untrue, saying, "Our investigators are well-trained. Of course, he knew how to retrieve those records."
The case remains unsolved.
A true investigation?
Defense attorney Steve Huddleston still fumes whenever he thinks of his client — former Custer County Sheriff Mike Burgess — serving 79 years in prison for sex crimes against female inmates. Huddleston questions whether OSBI investigator Joe Ferrero genuinely sought the truth.
At least three female inmates claimed Burgess forced them to perform sexual acts in his office and truck. Yet Ferrero told jurors he decided against any DNA tests because there would be a low probability of retrieving DNA evidence, and that it would be "too extensive" and "too intrusive" to the sheriff's office and defendant's property.
So no tests were ordered. Nor was Burgess ever questioned by OSBI agents.
"OSBI never interviewed Mike Burgess to get his side of the story — not once," Huddleston said. "Now wouldn't you think they would want to know what he had to say about these allegations before filing them?
"OSBI didn't do any type of DNA testing, either. They didn't pull up the rug in his office, test the seat of his chair, or even go through his pickup. Nothing. I didn't think they did any kind of real investigation."
There also is the issue of the sheriff's infamous flashlight — an instrument Burgess purportedly used to rape one of his victims. Investigators never produced the flashlight for evidence.
Present Custer County Sheriff Bruce Peoples found the flashlight in March in a box of other items taken from Burgess after his 2008 resignation. Peoples said OSBI never requested the flashlight as evidence.
"I find it astonishing," Peoples said. "What better piece of evidence to hold up to a jury to say, 'Look at it here.' I have no idea why it has sat here for so long, but it has."
Waves of criticism
In March, 7-year-old Aja Johnson's decomposing body was found in the woods east of downtown Norman. Nearby, in a car owned by her mother, sat the rotting corpse of her abductor and stepfather, Lester William Hobbs.
The two had been missing since Jan. 23.
Aja was found in an area where Hobbs had lived for 18 years, and down the road from where his parents are buried at the Denver Cemetery. Critics quickly surfaced, asking why OSBI didn't conduct a more thorough search of what should have been a hot spot for investigators.
"Who knew what when?" snapped Rep. Richard Morrissette, D-Oklahoma City, in March. "I want a blow-by-blow account of what OSBI did."
Morrissette declined further comment last week.
Shortly thereafter, FBI spokesman Gary Johnson revealed that the FBI had offered OSBI the services of its Child Abduction Response Team, a group of agents who specialize in such cases.
OSBI declined the offer.
"I don't know why, but we were disappointed and frustrated over our offer for assistance was declined," Johnson said.
Johnson did not respond to requests for further comment on the matter last week.
OSBI Agent-in-Charge Richard Goss defended his agency's decision, saying in March they were already following an "FBI checklist" on abduction.

"Your Body Belongs to You"
Abortion and the 1931 Campaign
Against Paragraph 218
Oh, I am a valuable thing,
Everybody cares about me:
The church, state, doctors, judges—
For nine months,
But when those nine months are past ...
Well, then I have to look out for myself.
If my economic circumstances permit me to have a child, then I shall have one. If this is not the case, then I know what I have to do. Whatever the Pope proclaims does not concern us.
Letter in AIZ from F. FRANZISKA, age 28, metal worker 2
On New Year's Eve, 1930, in Rome, Pope Pius XI issued an encyclical denouncing birth control and abortion. A clear attack on the "new woman" and the "new" smaller family of the 1920s, Casti Connubii ( On Christian Marriage) insisted on women's subordinate position within the family and condemned non-procreative sex and the false freedom of female emancipation. The pope reminded states of their obligation to protect the weak and unborn, and specifically warned against the "pernicious practice" of eugenics. 3
In Germany, the papal pronouncement provoked a swift reaction from the Communist party and its allies in the sex reform and independent women's movement, providing the initial catalyst for what would become a highly visible and militant mass movement demanding women's right to abortion and the repeal of paragraph 218. At a time when the Social Democratic and Communist parties were attacking each other as the primary enemy and the fragile fabric of Weimar democracy was rapidly unraveling, the movement against paragraph 218 effected a brief and unparalleled alliance amongst liberal and radical lawyers, doctors, intellectuals, artists, Social Democrats, Com

New Air Standards Could Cost Billions: EPA's Proposal Draws Heavy Fire
Woellert, Lorraine, Reath, Viki, The Washington Times (Washington, DC)
The Environmental Protection Agency, to the consternation of many business groups and local governments, yesterday proposed stringent new air-quality standards that would cost more than $6.5 billion a year to meet.
The new rules would tighten pollution limits that many cities already fail to meet and regulate more of the tiny particles from smokestacks.
"I think this is EPA's turkey for Thanksgiving," said Dick Klimisch, vice president of engineering for the American Automobile Manufacturers Association, which has actively fought the proposed air-quality standards.
He and other opponents said that the EPA has failed to consider the high cost of the proposals and that the agency lacked data to support some assumptions.
"The U.S. EPA is putting a huge mandate on the state, on local governments and on consumers without having fully evaluated the cost, the relative health benefits and the technical feasibility of meeting the standards," said Donald Schregardus, director of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency.
But EPA Administrator Carol Browner said the proposal would provide new protection to nearly 133 million Americans, including 40 million children.
The new standards would require communities to cut ozone levels by one-third. The ozone readings would be taken over an average of eight hours, rather than during a single one-hour period, making it slightly easier to meet the new standard, industry sources said.
The EPA also wants to regulate tiny particles of dust from incinerators and power plants as small as 2.5 microns - a human hair is about 28 microns wide. Current standards apply to particles 10 microns or larger.
The EPA will accept comments on its proposal for 60 days and issue final rules in June. The new standards will apply to coal-fired utilities.
The Clean Air Act now regulates only 40 percent of coal-fired furnaces, said A. Blakeman Early, an American Lung Association environmental consultant. "There was a tremendous amount of research showing that the current standards were not protecting health."
Studies have linked the particles to bronchitis and chronic coughs in children and acute respiratory illness among adults, Mr. Early said.
Health experts say that even communities that are meeting the current requirements wind up with hospital admissions for respiratory ailments when ozone levels are near the standards' high end. …

About Neo Cocoa
Neo Cocoa is the stuff truffle dreams are made of. In its young life, San Francisco Bay Area-based truffle maker Neo Cocoa has received praise and acclaim in the San Francisco Chronicle, 7x7 Magazine and named one of the "Top Ten Chocolatiers in North America" by Dessert Professional.
Neo Cocoa also has some serious metal to back up the praise: It recently received the most awards at the 2012 SF International Chocolate Salon including Best Truffle, Most Luxurious Chocolate Experience and Most Likely Addiction!
The "heart" of a chocolate truffle is a term coined by Neo Cocoa founder, owner and pastry chef Christine Doerr, which describes the uniqueness of her truffles. Neo Cocoa's truffles are like none other you'll find on the market today. She's added flavor twists on traditional French or European-style truffles and created a confection much more delicate than its hard-shelled American-style counterpart. Christine's truffles are shell-less. They are truly the heart of a truffle—rich, creamy chocolate delicately dusted with cocoa powder. Her unique blend of natural yet decadent ingredients is what makes Neo Cocoa's hand-made chocolate truffles so creamy, unique, and irresistible.
She began her chocolaty journey way back in the 1980's working her first job at a retail chocolate shop called Cocolat which inspired her to attend to the California Culinary Academy. She completed her internship at the Cocolat bakery in Berkeley and graduated from the CCA in 1990. From there, she worked in many bakeries and restaurants as a pastry chef for more than 10 years. She decided to go back to school to get her BFA in Graphic Design. She worked as designer for 6 years until the kitchen, partially chocolate, called her back.
Christine started professionally making the truffles in early 2008 and was fortunate enough to be accepted into the La Cocina kitchen incubation program in the heart of San Francisco's Mission District. In 2011 she graduated from the program and now has her own confection kitchen in Belmont.
Neo Cocoa is proud to sell a growing number of products online and at these retail stores: Bi-Rite Market; Canyon Market; Faletti Foods; Ferry Building Farmer's Market; La Cocina Kiosk - Ferry Building; Other Avenues; Whole Foods - Noe Valley; Whole Foods - Potrero Hill; Whole Foods - Haight; Whole Foods - Oakland; Placewares – Gualala; Serendipity – San Carlos

A Greenwood board gave final approval to doubling the size of a taxing district that will collect property taxes for economic development projects such as replacing downtown streets and sidewalks.
The city redevelopment commission unanimously approved expanding the boundaries of a tax-increment financing, or TIF, district by 2,000 acres. The city is expanding its eastside TIF district to include more of downtown and properties nearly parallel to U.S. 31 between County Line Road and the city's southern edge.
As part of the expansion, the commission agreed to give other local governments, including the library and Greenwood and Clark-Pleasant school districts, a way to get back at least some of the money captured in the TIF districts. These districts collect property taxes on new development and increased property values in an area. Schools, libraries and other governments then don't collect the taxes as they would usually.
But exactly what that money could pay for isn't known yet.
The redevelopment commission will not use TIF money to buy laptop computers or school buses, as Clark-Pleasant Superintendent Patrick Spray had suggested in past months, redevelopment commission president Mike Tapp said.
Maintenance work and constructing new school buildings also wouldn't be considered, he said.
The state governs how TIF money can be spent on redevelopment and infrastructure projects. Greenwood officials said spending TIF money to buy buildings or construct roads, for example, could help the city, schools and library while following state law, Tapp said.
"We're still in exploration mode," he said.
The city hasn't decided yet how the process for funding school and library projects would work, Tapp said. Members of the city council, Tapp, the mayor and other city employees met with officials from Clark-Pleasant schools, Greenwood Community School Corp. and the library in recent weeks.
Greenwood and Clark-Pleasant schools superintendents asked the city earlier this year to use TIF money to pay for school projects, or at least promise to consider paying for them in the future. The city council chose to allow other governments' projects to be added to the eastside TIF district's capital projects list. That agreement was in response to concerns raised by school officials that the city was going to capture property tax dollars away from the school districts when school budgets already were tight.
The redevelopment commission would have to approve individual projects that schools or the Greenwood Public Library propose to spend TIF funds on. Those projects can't be considered until the expanded TIF starts earning property tax dollars and the city decides what kinds of projects the schools and library can ask the city to fund, Tapp said.
The list of projects that TIF money could be spent on also includes work to widen streets and sidewalks downtown, add bike lanes to roads and pay for building façade repairs.
The redevelopment commission has five appointed members who oversee spending millions in TIF money as incentives for companies to expand in Greenwood. The commission also spends TIF dollars on road and other infrastructure projects to spur development, and is spending $10 million to build an aquatic center with pools, water slides and a lazy river.

HOUSTON (AP) — The Pittsburgh Pirates have moved starter Kevin Correia to the bullpen to make room in the rotation for newly acquired left-hander Wandy Rodriguez.
Rodriguez, who was traded from the Houston Astros on Tuesday, will pitch against his former team on Saturday.
Erik Bedard, who was scheduled to start Saturday, will be pushed back to Monday.
Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle says taking Correia out of the rotation was a difficult decision, especially since he is on a six-game winning streak. But he says that it is the best move for the team.
Correia, who is 8-6 with a 4.24 ERA, is unhappy with the move, but says he'll "have to live with it."

A former Camp Lejeune civilian family readiness officer will spend the next 25 to 30 years in state prison after a plea this morning.
Leslie Nichols pleaded no contest to first degree sex offense with a child. The 8-year-old girl was a relative, according to prosecutors.
The 40-year-old Nichols was arrested back in 2009 by Jacksonville police. Court officials say some of the sex acts were committed in front of a webcam at the woman's home.
Authorities say the charges did not stem from Nichols' job with the Marine Corps.

Can I go directly from 2.5.1 to 2.8.4?
Aside from the usual caveats (backup, upgrade plugins, theme, etc), is there anything special I need to know since it such a large version jump?
Yes, I am a procrastinator!
I have put it off because of some custom code that needs to be rewritten to work with a plug-in that will have to upgraded along with the WP upgrade.
