Busby officially concedes in 50th District race to Bilbray
NORTH COUNTY - After holding out for days in the face of a nearly 20,000-vote gap, Democrat Francine Busby conceded the race for the 50th U.S. District House seat Tuesday to Republican Brian Bilbray, the incumbent.
"Today, I called Mr. Bilbray and congratulated him as the representative of the 50th District," Busby stated in a news release.
In an interview Tuesday, Busby said she had waited this long to concede defeat because her supporters had asked her to hang in there until the end.
"Every vote counts, the last vote as much as the first," she said. But, "I knew the night of the election, I wasn't going to win."
As of Tuesday night - with 42,000 absentee ballots remaining to be counted - registrar of voters officials reported that Bilbray continued to hold a wide lead over Busby, having received 112,209 votes, or 53.17 percent of all the votes cast and counted. Busby, meanwhile, received 91,793 votes, or 43.49 percent. Libertarian Paul King was a distant third with 3,900 votes, or 1.85 percent; and Peace & Freedom Party candidate Miriam E. Clark received 3,147 votes, or 1.49 percent.
One pundit sounded blase over Busby's concession announcement.
"What took her so long?" said UC San Diego political scientist and congressional election specialist Gary Jacobson asked.
Her loss culminates a year of tussling to choose a replacement for the now-imprisoned Randy "Duke" Cunningham, who pleaded guilty in late November 2005 to bribery and income tax evasion. In March, he was sentenced to serve more than eight years in a federal prison and now is in a federal facility in Butner, N.C.
In the race to see who would replace him, Republicans and Democrats spent millions of dollars in advertising that targeted Busby and Bilbray. The first election was in April. Busby and Bilbray were the top two vote-getters in a field of 18 candidates. Neither captured the 50 percent plus one vote necessary to win it outright.
Jacobson said that's where Busby missed her best opportunity to win the seat and the opportunity to run later in the year as an incumbent. He said her fate was sealed when she only captured 43.69 percent of the vote.
With no single clear winner in April, the contest was forced into a June runoff that Bilbray won, giving him the seat through the end of the year. The Nov. 7 election was held to select the person who would hold the office for a full two-year term starting in January.
In the fall campaign, Busby just couldn't overcome the odds in a GOP-dominated district where registered Republicans outnumber Democrats by a 3-2 margin, she said, and seemed unable to capitalize on national opposition to Bush's conduct of the war in Iraq.
Reached by phone in Washington on Tuesday, Bilbray said he believes that voter frustration about immigration was what swayed the election.
"Every time a North County housewife drove down the street, she saw illegal aliens on the corner," Bilbray said. "When you talk about national security, at least in San Diego County, people tend to look south, not at Iraq."
UC San Diego's Jacobson said that it's hard to say what made the issue of illegal immigration foremost in the minds of voters, but it was a key issue in the April contest.
"It's a district with a lot of conservative Republicans for whom (illegal immigration) has a tremendous symbolism," Jacobson said, adding that Bilbray was able to continue capitalizing on voter frustration.
Busby said that in the end, she just couldn't get enough votes to overcome the odds in the general election.

Residents in the Holly Ridge, North Topsail Beach and Verona area may experience water pressure issues for the remainder of the weekend.
A lightning strike Friday damaged the Dixson Water Treatment Plant which affected it's ability to automatically adjust water pressure.
ONWASA tells WITN they have workers on the scene trying to adjust the water delivery system to control the water pressure throughout the area.
Here is how ONWASA released the information to WITN:
Some ONWASA Customers Experiencing
Water Pressure Problems
JACKSONVILLE – Residents of Holly Ridge, North Topsail Beach, and Verona may be experiencing erratic water pressures throughout this weekend. Monitoring equipment was damaged by lightning Friday evening, and the ability of the Dixon Water Treatment Plant to automatically adjust the pressure has been affected. ONWASA has increased staffing at the water treatment plant and staff is continually making adjustments to the water delivery system in order to provide adequate water pressure throughout the area.
If customers in these areas are experiencing low water pressure, ONWASA is requesting them to contact the office at 455-0722. By learning where water pressure is inadequate, staff can better adjust the delivery system.

CORONA: Blast at explosives plant rattles windows, prompts calls
An explosives manufacturer located south of Corona set off a blast that was apparently larger than usual Thursday, May 8, shaking windows and nerves throughout western Riverside County.
Corona Fire Department spokeswoman Lynn Mata said emergency dispatchers received numerous inquiries after the explosion, which happened about 12:45 p.m. at Alpha Explosives.
Mata said fire officials were not aware that the blast was going to happen and asked Alpha officials to give the Fire Department notice next time.
The plant is south of the city limits. The company website said the plant supplies explosives to customers in the western United States.

KAHULUI, Hawaii (AP) A Maui patrol officer is being credited with saving a Kahului family from their burning home.
The officer was passing the burning home early Monday when he stopped to wake up the occupants. The fire department says he evacuated them and used a fire extinguisher to control the blaze.
None of the dozen people living in the home were injured.
Fire crews extinguished the fire, which an investigation shows was started by a pot on the stove.

It took little more than five hours for the first Apple iPhone
5s to go on sale in China after being smuggled across the border from
Hong Kong, but supplies were short and prices high.
In a crowded
building in the southern city of Shenzhen, a salesman stood by as
shoppers speaking various dialects scrambled to take photos of three
shiny new iPhones on display in his glass cabinet.
"The stock is
so limited that people are treating these iPhone 5s like gems," said
another cigarette-smoking salesman, surnamed Lin. "I pre-ordered online
and got quite a few people to do the same but I could only get a few."
Apple products are typically rolled out later in mainland China than in
Hong Kong, creating a thriving "grey market" for enterprising traders.
According to local media reports the iPhone 5 is expected go on sales in
China by year-end.
Vendors such as Lin also make a year-round
living exploiting the price difference between Apple and other popular
brands in Hong Kong, a free port just an hour from Shenzhen with
zero-duty on many electronics imports, and China.
At the iPhone
5's debut in Hong Kong earlier in the day, small groups of people
carrying rucksacks filled with cash waited outside the city's flagship
store hoping to snap up phones for resale.
For anyone able to
secure one, the new phone cost HK$5,588, or the equivalent of around
4,545 yuan, at the Hong Kong Apple store, while they were selling for
between 7,500 yuan and 9,000 yuan in the litter-strewn building in
Shenzhen where fake and smuggled phones are often hawked.
But trade was slow.

Jail for West Rutland robberNovember 29,2012A St. Albans man convicted of robbing a pharmacy in West Rutland was sentenced to 40 months behind bars this week.
Christopher J. McCarthy, 43, pleaded guilty earlier this year to a federal charge of obstructing commerce by robbery.
On Monday, Judge Christina Reiss sentenced McCarthy to more than three years in jail followed by three years of supervised release. He must also pay $405 in restitution to Rite Aid.
McCarthy was arrested on Feb. 11 hours after he approached a clerk at the pharmacy and handed her a note that demanded prescription painkiller drugs and the promise that if the demands were met no one will get hurt.
In an interview with police, McCarthy said he was addicted to the drugs and robbed the pharmacy out of desperation.
McCarthy was originally charged in a Vermont court, but the state dismissed its charge against him in April to allow the federal charge to be brought.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON For the first time, all the choral students of the Southwest Vermont Supervisory...

Good Times Cigarillos Raspberry Cream cigars are machine-made cigars with the flavors of hand-picked raspberries, fresh cream, and premium quality tobacco leaf. All the textures offered by these ingredients come together to create a smoke that is both refreshing and flavorsome. A natural wrapper is employed to keep the binder in place, and also to improve the flavor profile. These pocket-friendly cigars are great for both casual and regular cigar smokers, and are definitely value-for-money.
Good Times USA manufactures and supplies these cigars, while the assembling work takes place in Puerto Rico. The cigars are 4 ¼ inches in length, with a ring gauge of 27, and are sold in packs of 3 for only $.99. To maintain the moisture level and preserve the freshness, these cigars are packaged in compact, airtight pouches.

Charles Barkley's mortal enemy Peter Vescey of the New York Post is reporting Warriors assistant coach Mike Malone is about to become the new head coach of the Sacramento Not-the-Sonics:
Mike Malone is a living lock 2B Kings' head coach, I'm informed. Don't know time frame of announcement, but go to sleep on it happening.
— Peter Vecsey (@PeterVecsey1) May 28, 2013
Warriors' CEO Joe Lacob told me last year he'd do everything 2 help Malone. So when team part owner bought into Kings, Mike became easy sell
— Peter Vecsey (@PeterVecsey1) May 28, 2013
The one thing that might be more of a lock is Malone getting a head-coaching gig somewhere this offseason. He's considered one of the top assistants in the NBA right now and his name has come up for the Clippers' coaching vacancy, as well as other openings last year.
Malone has been the top lieutenant under Mark Jackson on the Warriors bench these last two years. Malone was brought on board to be a chief of staff of sorts for Jackson, who before being hired had as much coaching experience as Amanda Bynes.
Jackson has had some questionable coaching tactics and strategies in his tenure. It's unclear how much of an influence Malone had on those decisions. But if we start to see the Kings draw up last-second plays with lots of iso and very little off-ball screens and movement, then we'll have our answer.
Malone, who's been an NBA assistant since 2005, definitely would have his work cut out for him in Sacto. But it's a brighter situation than it was, with an enthusiastic new ownership group taking over from the wretched Maloofs. It's a team with a young core but also one that has failed to reach its promise in recent years. The Kings, amid all the speculation of a potential Seattle move, finished 17 games out of a playoff spot this season and haven't won more than 28 games in the last five seasons.
So best of luck to Malone with all that. And we can't wait to find out when DeMarcus Cousins will hate him.

Do you desire for your teen daughter to go through her teen years God-crazy and not boy-crazy? Do you aspire that she'll use her teen angst to become a prayer warrior not a rebel? If so, you won't want her to miss the Young True Woman Track at this year's True Woman conference September 22-24 in Indianapolis. During the True Woman conference, your teen daughter will experience many of the main sessions featuring Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth, Mary Kassian, Dr. Russell Moore, Stephen Kendrick and memorable moments with you, but will get the bonus of a teen track created just for her and other young women.
What could God do with a generation of young women sold out to prayer in a culture that is lost and growing in darkness? Isaiah 58 promises that "your light will break forth like the dawn" when you enter into humble, authentic prayer. And there is no age limit on those invited to such intercession. Invite your daughter to join the Young True Woman movement and start a flame of vibrant life-giving light in our nation.
Dannah Gresh and beloved vlogger Betsy Gomez will present life-changing truth. Every girl will leave challenged and trained to pray. Stephanie Martinez prepares their heart with live worship. Here's what one mom said about having her daughter attend Young True Woman with her in past years.
"My greatest God story [from True Woman] is what He did to my
daughter, age 13. She attended the Teen Track. When asked by her brother how it was, she stated, 'Awesome. Life-Changing! If you don't have Jesus you don't have anything.' This means more than you can imagine." —Kim
Read on to learn more about the Young True Woman teen track and—best of all—how to enter to win a Mother/Daughter Pak including free conference registrations and a library of books for your daughter worth $300. We're giving them away May 27th.
"Masturbating will make you go blind." So goes the old myth. (Many myths prevail surrounding masturbation. The most interesting may have been perpetuated by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg who thought that a proper diet would alleviate a man's desire to masturbate, and so he fed men under his care in a mental institution a special cereal he created. Kellogg didn't curb masturbation, but did become a cereal giant and many of us still eat Corn Flakes today with no impact on our sexual desires.)
Recently, my husband and I were having dinner with a couple we greatly respect. The man is a well-studied theologian and beloved pastor. During a conversation about the overall crisis of purity in the Church at large, he referenced a Bible verse that made me wonder: "Is the notion that masturbation causes blindness really a myth after all?" I'd like to share that verse with you today, but first let's take a look at masturbation and ask the question: Is it a sin?
Imagine being forced to vacate your home. Darkness is upon your city and the mayor of your city tells you to get out. Get out now! The city is one violent scream of grief as death spreads through a never-before-seen sickness. You sense God's peace, but also feel the palpable fear as the entire city rises in chaos to run. This has not been a happy stop in your journey of life, so you are glad to go but didn't expect it to be so sudden. You pack in haste with not even a moment to consider where you will go, but knowing your departure will be permanent. You try to think clearly. You grab clothes, blankets, a few family treasures, and food for the journey.
Time is not on your side as the cries grow louder and more urgent. Get out now! Your spirit joins in the mantra certain that the window of opportunity may be closing.
And then you remember something you need not forget! You run for it as a family member calls from outside, "We have to go now!"
"Just wait," you plead. "I must have one more thing."
So you know when someone comes to you and asks you something and says, "I'm asking for a 'FRIEND'…" Well, today I have a question like that for you. How many of your "girlfriends" are on the boy-crazy train? I'm talking about the kind of college girl who tries guys on like a pair of jeans, discarding them casually and moving on to the next one if they just don't fit. And I'm also talking about the middle school girl who has never had a boyfriend but thinks she's less because of it. There's a broad spectrum when it comes to being a boy-crazy girl. And most people think it's just normal.
I disagree.
What if I told you that it's not a very good place to be if you want to live a life of purity? You see purity is not a line you cross or do not cross, contrary to public discourse. I know many girls who are not virgins who are anything but pure. The way they live their lives is full of sensuality, lust, and lack of self-control. I also know many girls who are not virgins and have stood before God and said, "God teach me to live a life of purity." The current direction of their lives is purity. And see that's what I think purity is…it's a direction. The book of Philippians says we can "become" pure and blameless. This speaks of a direction.
So which direction are you headed?
There's a saying that goes like this: "every great love story ends in tragedy." Consider Romeo and Juliet. They throw caution to the wind to be together and make easy, heart-defining choices to have secret moments of bliss against their family's wishes. In the end, they commit suicide because their relationship is opposed. It's an applauded classic love story, but where's the sunset? Where's the happily ever-after? And where's their pulse? It's not the kind of love story you want to have your name in it.
What kind of love story are you writing with your life?
My best-selling book And the Bride Wore White is full of what I call celebration stories. Some are stories of brides who never kissed before their wedding day and others are stories of brides who were sexually broken before they graduated highschool. How can they all be celebration stories?
Let me tell you!

Careful lens selection will allow getting as close to 40 megapixels as possible.
The table below captures some options for Pentax 645 lenses and related items.
Equivalent focal lengths vs 35mm DSLRs
The aspect ratio of the Pentax 645D is 4:3, so there is no correct focal length equivalent for a 3:2 DSLR.
The diagonal equivalent is the traditional metric, but is least useful in terms of making images; I think in terms of the horizontal span, but some photographers think in terms of the vertical span. Which is more useful depends on what types of prints you tend to make (e.g., 16 X 20 or 16 X 24). The differences are not large no matter which approach you take.

Clarifying the Confusion: IIS 7 Manager vs. IIS 7 Web Server
This issue has been surfacing on the forums a lot recently, so I think some clarification is in order.
The general question that is seen on the message boards is this:
I installed IIS7 on Windows XP but it doesn't work. Can anyone help?
First, IIS 7 Web Server can't be installed on Windows XP or Windows 2003. It depends on some features that are only found in Vista and Windows Server 2008. Also, the IIS 7 Web Server is now an integrated Windows component and isn't a separate install.
Second, we released Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0 Manager as a download with the launch of Windows Server 2008 at the end of February. This is a standalone tool that can connect to a remote IIS 7 Web Server for administration purposes and it can be installed on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Vista Service Pack 1. The IIS 7 management console in 2008 already has this capability. If someone looks closely we see that there is some ambiguity in the names used.
The confusion is really in the name of the standalone administration tool. We released it as Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0 Manager. The full name itself makes sense. This is the management tool for an IIS7 server and not the server itself. A better name might have been Remote Manager for IIS 7, but we can't change the name until the next release.
As always, feel free to continue asking your questions on the IIS forums or make comments on blog posts if you continue to run into problems or don't find the answers posted here.
- IIS 7 Web Server runs on Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008
- IIS 7 Manager runs on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Vista
- IIS 7 Manager is not a Web Server, it is a tool to administer an IIS 7 Web Server

Antiwar.com Radio Interview Regarding Wikileaks, Information Freedom
Scott Horton interviewed me yesterday on the Wikileaks situation and related matters. The segment may be heard here. Have fun trying to figure out what the hell I'm saying, as I hadn't had any coffee yet and my mumbly accent is moderately indecipherable at all times anyhow. It may be worth struggling through if you have an interest in media theory or just enjoy struggling through things.
The day before, Horton interview my fellow True/Slant contributor Michael Hastings, formerly Newsweek's Baghdad correspondent and the author of I Lost My Love in Baghdad, which was released last month. Hastings is better at talking into phones than I am; in this segment, he discusses the Iraqi electoral dynamics that will shape the nation in the years to come.
And here's another Antiwar.com interview from yesterday with Lt. General Robert G. Card, Jr., who does not write for True/Slant but who does serve as Chairman of the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation, which I guess is pretty good, too.

About Yehu Microfinance TrustThis loan is administered by Yehu Microfinance Trust, which was founded in 1998 as a project of CHOICE Humanitarian Kenya. In July 2007, Yehu became a separate entity from CHOICE and was registered as a trust. Since then, Yehu has expanded to cover over half of Kenya's 13 coastal districts.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

HONOLULU — The Defense Department gave the Navy permission Tuesday to keep training with sonar for two more years, a move denounced by activists who say the sound waves can harm whales and other marine mammals.
Navy officials had sought the two-year exemption from the Marine Mammal Protection Act, allowed under the 2004 National Defense Authorization Act, saying they needed time to study how sonar use at major underwater training ranges affects the environment.
The environmental-impact statements required by the Marine Mammal Protect Act will take about two years, Navy officials said.
The ranges are off Hawaii, Southern California and the East Coast.

"We cannot stop training for the next two years," said Don Schregardus, deputy assistant secretary of the Navy for the environment. "That would put our sailors in the Navy at considerable risk."
Sailors use active sonar by pumping sound waves through the ocean and listening to the echo as they bounce off underwater objects. Navy leaders have made practicing sonar techniques a top priority as other nations have bought more advanced diesel submarines, which are quieter than earlier models and thus harder to find.
Environmentalists cite incidents of whales, porpoises and dolphins that have become stranded en masse on beaches after being exposed to sonar.
"The Navy has more than enough room in the oceans to train effectively without injuring or killing endangered whales and other marine species," said Joel Reynolds, senior attorney at the Natural Resources Defense Council, which is suing the Navy over its sonar use. "Because the Navy trains with this dangerous technology in some of the richest underwater habitat on Earth, it is legally obligated to take simple, commonsense steps to protect marine life."
The Navy says it has rigid standards and measures in place to protect marine mammals, such as stationing trained look-outs for marine mammals on vessels conducting the exercises and listening for marine mammals in the area.
Navy officials said they are claiming a two-year exemption because a federal judge in California ruled last year that the Navy needed to do more detailed analysis of the effect its sonar training would have on the environment.
"The courts have ruled we probably will need to do the full analysis," Schregardus said. "Our first goal is to comply with the law and get the permits we need under the Marine Mammal Protection Act as we found. … This is pretty much our only recourse."
The Navy says the new exemption will allow sailors to go ahead with 40 separate exercises over the next two years.

CASTRO, Marta de Lima; CUNHA, Sergio Souza da and SOUZA, Delma P Oliveira de. Violence behavior and factors associated among students of Central-West Brazil. Rev. Saúde Pública [online]. 2011, vol.45, n.6, pp. 1054-1061. Epub Sep 23, 2011. ISSN 1518-8787.
OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence of violence among adolescents and young adults and to identify associated factors. METHODS: Cross-sectional study carried out in 2008 with systematic random sampling of 699 elementary and high school students enrolled in urban state schools of Barra do Garças, Central-Western Brazil. A self-administered questionnaire was applied in the classrooms without the presence of the teacher. The outcome "violent behavior" was defined as (1) use of firearm or sharp instrument, and/or (2) aggressions against oneself and/or others, and/or (3) suicide attempt. The analyzed independent variables were age, gender, socioeconomic status, use of alcohol, use of psychoactive drugs, sexual activity, and relationship between parents. Univariate analysis was conducted, as well as multiple regression adjusted for effect of clustering. RESULTS: Violence prevalence was of 18.6%, varying with age: 10.1% in the group aged 10 and 11 years; 20.2% for those aged 12-19 years; and 4.5% in the group aged 20-21 years. The factors associated with violent behavior were use of alcohol (RP = 2.51, 95%CI 1.22;5.15), use of psychoactive drugs (RP = 2.10, 95%CI 1.61;2.75), male gender (RP = 1.63, 95%CI 1.13;2.35) and unsatisfactory relationship between parents (RP = 1.64, 95%CI 1.25;2.15). CONCLUSIONS: Results indicate high prevalence of violence among adolescents in the age group 12-19 years, mainly among users of alcohol and drugs, of the male sex, from families whose parents do not have satisfactory relationships. Although without statistical significance in the final regression model, school result discrepancy and socioeconomic level should be considered in educational actions for prevention of violence behavior among students.

It's no secret that cats can be stubborn animals that just don't tell you what's on their minds like other pets do. This cat is definitely the exception! She lets her owners know EXACTLY what she wants and doesn't get ignored. Wouldn't the world be a simpler place if all pets acted like this. It would be a funnier place, that's for sure!

Ten Denton High School chess club students welcomed 20 students (and their parents and chess sponsor) from Newton Rayzor Elementary. The high school students taught small groups (2-4 students) the two-rook checkmate, the Pawn Game (or Battleship Chess), and UIL Chess Puzzle solving. The elementary students had time to practice. Dr. Alexey Root dismissed the elementary school students with a game of chess Simon Says. The activities taught today can be found in Dr. Root's books.
Denton High School students played bughouse. Three new members learned chess from the Chess Club Secretary. There was food, particularly lots of cookies. This was the last regular meeting of the 2013-2014 year. However, two more important events are coming up May 9 (visit of elementary school students) and May 24 (tournament at Denton Public Library).
UIL stands for University Interscholastic League.Thanks to UIL and Texas Tech University Chess Program, Chess Puzzle is now an official event for UIL A+ Academics. Dr. Alexey Root is writing an article about Chess Puzzle for Chess Life magazine. Her book Science, Math, Checkmate: 32 Chess Activities for Inquiry and Problem Solving provides activities that UIL Chess Puzzle sponsors can share with students to help them succeed at the UIL Chess Puzzle event. Here is one example. Some of the Chess Puzzle questions ask "Which side has the greater value of material left on the the board?" The chess and math activity "Balancing Chess Equations" helps UIL Chess Puzzle sponsors prepare students. The activity teaches students the values of the chessmen, how to add and subtract those those values, and how to determine the value of a group of chessmen.
And for the chess-player the success which crowns his work, the great dispeller of sorrows, is named "combination."
-Emanuel Lasker (1868-1941)

PENDLETON, Ore. (AP) — Health officials in northeast Oregon say a man has been hospitalized for treatment of pneumonic plague.
Umatilla County health officials said Friday the man is thought to have been infected while hunting in Lake County, Ore. County Public Health Administrator Genni Lehnert-Beers says the illness is serious but treatable with antibiotics if caught early.
She tells the Tri-City Herald (http://bit.ly/psCMFusays) that it can be spread to humans through the bite of an infected flea. The illness can also be contracted through contact with infected tissues or fluids from handling sick or dead animals.
Lehnert-Beers recommends that people stay away from flea-infested areas and learn to recognize plague symptoms, including fever, chills, headache, weakness, and bloody or watery cough. Other symptoms can include enlarged, tender lymph nodes, abdominal pain and bleeding into the skin.
Untreated plague can be fatal.

St Petersburg to Budapest , October 2015
James Bowater
It is a pity, Intrepid is stopping this trip. Personally, I don't think as a destination, Ukraine is being marketted fully. The jewel in Ukraine s tourism crown, is Chernobyl nuclear disaster ,and no effort is being made to visit this area. Realizing this myself, with Iras guidance, our whole group visited the disaster region, probably the first Intrepid group to do so. Last year, 6000 people visited the site, and 17000 so far in 2015. For me, it was the trip high light.

A Jacksonville woman gave away $500 in gas Saturday afternoon.
Gale McDowell filled the gas tanks of 25 strangers at the Citgo on Western Boulevard.
Many people were excited to see what McDowell was doing and get the free gas. Many then gave McDowell a hug of thanks. A line of cars wrapped around the side of the gas station to fill up and meet the woman responsible.
McDowell told WITN, "I decided to go get $1000 out of the bank and bless people in increments of $20. So my daughter, son, and I went out blessing people with $20s until they didn't want to take the $20s from us. So we still had $500. We decided to come to the gas station and we felt like people wouldn't refuse us here, they would take the free money, the free gas."
Marc Caldwell is one of the people that got some free gas from McDowell. He said, "I saw these people with the free gas sign. I said hey I want to see what that's all about. I was talking to Ms. McDowell and they're just blessing people with gas and I thought that was pretty awesome."
McDowell said she chose to give away gas because it's one of the biggest expenses for people today.

We go to great lengths to remove chlorine (and other contaminants) in our drinking water and shower water, and it made me think about the effect of this common chemical in swimming pools and how much that exposure can affect us.
The Problem With Chlorine:
According to this article:
Swimming in a chlorinated pool may increase your risk of developing cancer, suggest a new suite of studies, which identified more than 100 chemical byproducts in pools that use chlorine as a disinfectant.
Another article elaborates:
The first health risk doesn't even require you to be in the pool. Chloramines are a gas you have probably smelled before (smells like chlorine). This gas is produced by chlorine combining with sweat, sunscreens, germs and urine or other waste in the pool. Chlorine oxidizes as it sanitizes into a gas, and it is especially dangerous for indoor pools with poor ventilation.
Chloramines can cause symptoms such as coughing, and more serious symptoms like wheezing and aggravating asthma. According to the CDC (center for disease control): "breathing of irritants may increase sensitivity to other types of irritants such as fungi and bacteria.
Another study: Increased Asthma cases based on hours spent in chlorine swimming pool. Article: Impact of Chlorinated Swimming Pool Attendance on the Respiratory Health of Adolescents
I have read a number of studies that link the use of Chlorine to sanitize drinking water to increased risk of bladder cancer. In this study by the Oxford Journal Of Medicine they also speak about swimming pool use as a risk factor.
What to Do?
Our whole family loves the water, so while not swimming and filtering our home water would eliminate chlorine exposure, I'm not quite ready to throw the baby out with the pool water…
Thankfully, there are a few things that can be done to help minimize chlorine exposure:
- Avoid chlorinated pools whenever possible. In many places there are options that use salt filters (though these still contain chlorine but in smaller amounts) or UV filters. There are often great places to swim outdoors in some places. Obviously, not swimming in water sources that use chlorine is an easy way to reduce exposure. Thankfully, our local indoor pool uses salt and UV filters and no chlorine.
- Use Vitamin C: Check out this great article and the attached lectures for a great background on how Vitamin C helps neutralize chlorine and undo the damage of chlorine exposure. Turns out taking Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) internally and making some type of solution to rub on the skin can reduce a lot of exposure. Turns out they even make Vitamin C shower filters that are pretty inexpensive and which dechlorinate shower water. Since Vitamin C is often uses in anti-aging serums, this is a win-win solution!
- Protect the skin: Providing a physical barrier on the skin with an oil can also help reduce exposure. I like using my homemade lotion and adding Vitamin C. It is great for skin and protects from chlorine exposure (recipe below!). A commenter pointed out that many public pools do not allow lotions on the skin before using the pool so check with the rules if you use a public pool and check with your pool instructions if using your own pool.
Dechlorinating Lotion
- 1/2 cup almond or olive oil
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup beeswax
- 2 tablespoons warm water
- 2 teaspoons vitamin C powder
- Optional: 2 tablespoons Shea Butter or Cocoa Butter
- Optional: Essential Oils, Vanilla Extract or other natural extracts to suit your preference
How to Make Lotion
- Combine oils and beeswax in a pint sized or larger glass jar. I have a mason jar that I keep just for making lotions and lotion bars, or you can even reuse a glass jar from pickles, olives or other foods.
- In another small jar or bowl, add the vitamin c powder to the warm water and stir until dissolved.
- Fill a medium saucepan with a couple inches of water and place the jar with the oils inside the saucepan and turn on medium heat.
- As the water heats, the ingredients in the jar will start to melt. Shake or stir occasionally to incorporate. When all ingredients are completely melted, pour into a small blender or food processor, or keep in the jar if using an immersion blender that will fit in the top of the jar.
- With blender or food processor on, slowly add the water/vitamin C mixture until blended and emulsified.
- Store in an air-tight glass jar.
- Use before swimming (preferably after rinsing skin) to minimize chlorine exposure. This is purposefully a small batch since no preservatives are used and it will only last one swim season.
- Enjoy and be chlorine free!
Other Options (No DIY required)
Those who use sunscreen can add vitamin C powder to pre-made sunscreen to get the benefits of chlorine reduction and sun protection at the same time.
Do you worry about chlorine exposure? How do you avoid it?

text: Today is day 1 of my 30 day commitment to seeing live music everyday. I see a lot of music but I think I can step it up and see at least one live set a day, every day. No matter what. I intend to be deliberately diverse, seeing things that I would not normally see, what people visiting New Orleans may not normally see, mixed in with my favorite bands I see on a regular basis and also classic New Orleans music, some of which I've never gone out to see and some of which I see biking down the street on my daily rides. I'm exhausted after this first day so I'll tell you what I did and I'll come back in the next few days and talk about it in greater detail and hopefully add some pictures. I started at 11 am over at St. Augustine Catholic church for Treme's 200th anniversary Second Line extravaganza, as expected lots of brass bands and social clubs. Saints game (woohoo) but left early to catch Irma Thomas at Nazareth church sing Gospel (yes, Irma Thomas. And yes, wow). Irma was there trying to raise money and awareness for the church that is still struggling to get back on their feet after being in 5 feet of water due to Hurricane Katrina and the federal floods that put the city under water in 2005. Inspired, I went home for doggie time (not before crashing a porch party on Louisana, feeling good i joined the dance party going on to Keith Frank's Haterz... I really like this song). Couple hours later I rallied and biked to WWOZ to chill with Micheal Dominici on the Sunday Kitchen Sink/Whats New show, Dominici, whose New Orleans Music show I have been doing on Tuesdays for the last bunch of months now, had on Helen Gillet with her Cello. Helen is great, and will be on the New Orleans Music show on Tuesday to play a record she made at Never Records very recently, but tonight she improvised on her cello and cracked jokes. Then I biked to Frenchmen to catch Super Nice Bros (soooo FUN)! and King Louie's Missing Monuments (awesome as usual)! Biking home passing by the Spotted Cat and I think Khris Royal was playing. Sounded great! Can't see everything. I missed Warren Storm and C.C. Adcock at the Blue Nile Tonight. Again. Can't see everything. And I'm dead dead dead tired. I will have to come back and talk more about what I've seen on day 1. 30 days of Live Music. Day 1. Done.

G.s. Unidas En Cristo Group
Update on G.s. Unidas En Cristo GroupThe "Unidas en Cristo" [United in Christ] Solidarity Group is made up of three members: two women named María and Santos, and one man named José. They are all of legal age and married with 7 adult children who are economically independent. They are originally from the Department of Leon, a place that is located in the western part of the country.
María Auciliadora is the coordinator of the group and as such is charged with making sure it functions well. For her economic activity, she owns a convenience store, and she sells pigs. The business is located in her home. She has 42 years of experience in this activity. The convenience store sells edible products for daily consumption in small quantities like: sachets of coffee, shampoo, salsas, rice, beans, sugar, milk, bread, gelatin, traditional drinks like "tiste" (a powdered beverage made of cornmeal and cocoa powder) and "pozol" (drink made from fermented corn dough), and juices. María began the business with her own effort to have a means to work and the happiness of helping out with household expenses.
The group has worked with the Foundation, demonstrating their responsibility to pay on time and in full with previous loans. María needs this financing to invest in working capital to supply her convenience store. The "Unidas en Cristo" [United in Christ] Solidarity Group is grateful for the help of Kiva lenders that offer a way for small business owners in poor countries like Nicaragua to have a dignified life.
Previous Loan DetailsThe "Unidas en Cristo" [United in Christ] Solidarity Group is made up by Maria Auxiliadora and Factora. Both have different economic activities. Maria has been selling groceries for more than 20 years. She started at a very young age. Her business is located in her home, where many different cust... More from G.s.

Additional Information
Fundación Leon 2000This loan is administered by Fundación Leon 2000. Fundación Leon 2000 began operations in 1993 as the first microfinance institution to serve the western part of Nicaragua, a country which continues to be one of the poorest in the western hemisphere. Fundación Leon 2000 works to further the development of micro, small, and medium enterprises through credit services and management, applying the best credit industry practices and technical expertise. Additionally, Fundación Leon manages several business and financial education programs in the community, specifically for young entrepreneurs and at-risk youth. Fundación Leon 2000's group of experienced and dedicated employees works in 7 offices in Leon, Chinandega, Chichigalpa, Somotillo, Jinotepe, El Sauce, and Nagarote and serves several thousand clients (the majority of whom are women).
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
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.

Tolerate Lactose Intolerance
Dairy foods (and calcium) might not be totally off limits.
WebMD Feature
She doesn't know for sure, but Jacqueline Janotta thinks she may have been born lactose intolerant . Never fond of milk as a child, she rarely encountered lactose, the sugar found in milk and other dairy products.
So, it wasn't until she was away at college that her symptoms became regular and painful. "I went to school in Chicago. There was pizza everywhere, and every time I ate it, I'd be doubled over in pain," she recalls.
Janotta's physician father suspected lactose intolerance (LI), the inability to digest lactose, and suggested she take lactase, a pill version of the enzyme normally produced in the body to digest lactose. After taking the supplement the next time she ate pizza, she was symptom free. It worked.
By some estimates, 75% of adults suffer some degree of LI. The condition affects 90% of all Asians and half of all blacks and Hispanics. Among those of northwestern European origin, however, only 20% are affected. Symptoms include bloating, painful cramps, and diarrhea, which regularly appear within 15 to 30 minutes after eating dairy products.
Calcium Intake a Problem with LI
"With dairy products labeled as off-limits by many LI sufferers, they're cutting out the best sources of calcium in their diet," says Cecilia Pozo Fileti, R.D., a spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association.
