I have named my seminars "Healing the Whole Heart," and I prepare for them with quiet time. Quiet time is something I have to strive to achieve. Sometimes that quiet time becomes very like a reverie, a dream. And the dream is always the same. Dream along with me…
Picture a boxing match. We're all in a big stadium. I'm in one corner, holding this book. In the other corner is my opponent, Women's Heart Disease.
My robe and shorts are bright red—the color chosen by the American Heart Association to represent women's heart disease. My shorts have the word Surviving embroidered on the waistband. In my corner are closest friends and family—and my trainer/editor and a cut man because I fall a lot, sometimes from exhaustion, occasionally due to finances. Sometimes I confess that I have so much self-doubt that my legs buckle under me from weakness. I rely strongly on each of my supporters; they know that this match is being fought for the millions of women who will be tuning in to watch.
Turning around, I see the stands are filled with women, cheering women—about 500,000 of them. Probably 25% of the rows are filled with women who died from Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA). These women cry out to encourage me. They seem to be the saddest group—maybe because they didn't get a chance to tell their loved ones good-bye. They left grocery lists on the fridge, children at soccer practice, and nothing thawed for dinner. They left business proposals unsigned and bills unpaid. When they saw their death certificates that read "cause of death SCA," sadness and guilt overwhelmed them.
"Keep telling your story wherever you go," they cry out to me in my dream. "Please continue writing and sharing with women. Someone has to tell our daughters, sisters, and girlfriends." Another group, sobbing tears of regret, calls to me: "We should have listened to our intuition. It really wasn't sudden. We suspected for months that something was wrong. We had been out of breath when we walked the stairs, knew we needed to slow down, needed to make an appointment with our doctor."
All these women—row upon row, stretching up and back farther than I can see—look so different. So many races and colors sitting together! Like a rainbow, the rows stretches back, filled with beautiful shades of skin tones. These women are chanting: "Tell them, Lois! Tell them about all the risks, including diabetes. Go over all the risk factors. Warn them!"
Many of these women died because of complications from diabetes. When first diagnosed with diabetes, they didn't worry that it could affect their heart too. They talk quickly, almost drowning one another out, but I hear the message: "If we had known the risks, we would have been more careful with our diets, taken our medication for high blood pressure, checked our cholesterol, and made the time to exercise."
Another cheering section is yelling: "We love it when you make us laugh! Laughter is healing." And another group in the huge arena shouts: "We love it when you talk about fiber and how we don't have to conquer every change overnight. But if we had just incorporated a little change in our lives daily, maybe…" Their voices drift into silence.
Then quietly, almost in a whisper, I hear a younger woman's voice say, "I thought I was protected during my child-bearing years, so I figured I'd stop smoking when I turned 40." Somehow the small voice sounds familiar, and silently I pray it's not one of my daughters. Then I see the girl, and she's the same age as my oldest daughter. This lovely young woman clears her throat and tells me, "I miss my children so much. My little girl is only 5, and my baby boy just turned 3. Please tell everyone that heart disease doesn't care what we wear, or what age we are. Tell them now."
I close my eyes and the cries die away. Half a million women, I think to myself. Half a million deaths each year that might have been prevented. And I gain renewed strength from knowing that my story can make it possible for wives to remain with their husbands, mothers with their young children, and their children's children.
Then I begin to speak again. And when I falter, I cry out. But I get up again. I always get up again. Because the work ahead of me—the women's lives waiting to be saved—is too important to quit.

Cinequest 21: Raavanan
(Plays Mar 9 at 6:45 at Camera 12 in San Jose, and Mar 13 at 9:30PM at the Castro Theatre, as part of the SF International Asian-American Film Festival.)
by Richard von Busack
As the title suggests, the Hindu epic the Ramayana is the basis for this incredible Tamil film, set in modern times and shot in the region formerly known as the Carnatic in South India. If you're vague on places and details of this myth, you can pick up on what's up front with ease. (The myth also provided the backdrop for former Santa Cruzan Nina Paley's animated Sita Sings The Blues.) At the center, it's a simple love triangle set in lush surroundings of ruined temples and raging cataracts. Misty as they are, the jungles that aren't half as humid as the screenplay.
In this version, Sita is a police officer's wife kidnapped by Tamil revolutionaries; she's played by Aishwarya "Ash" Rai. This corner has written about Ash previously, if rarely coherently. She tends to empty the male skull. With smoky topaz eyes that make a Persian cat look squinty, and one of the lushest mouths in the history of cinema, Rai is a raving beauty to put up next to contenders like Michelle Pfieffer, Ava Gardner, Sophia Loren and Uma Thurman. The Oakland-made 2006 film version of Mistress of Spices should have put Ash over with the art house crowd. Well known in Indian movie, Ash has never been a similar noise in the west, probably because of her adherence to the no-kissing rule enforced in Bollywood.
Fair enough: through teasing of this restriction, through sinuously gliding out of kissing range, and showing the kind of neckplay usually observed in your most graceful swans…with this and that and the other thing, Ash Rai makes you see Bollywood's point. Clinches are kind of vulgar.
In this contest between the law and the the rebels, director Mani Ratnam puts us on the side of the kidnapped bride—Rai's Raagini, being carried away by the bandit kidnapper (the one named actor Vikram). Raging as he is, the bandit is as sharp as the Ramayana's protagonist: ten times as smart as a normal man, and a man of great honor and wiliness. A peasant declares: "A match for anyone, even the God of Death!"
Vikran's manic raffishness resembles Mel Gibson when he was young. And he has a fine adversary in the (also-one named) actor Prithviraj. Playing the pursuing officer Dev Prakash, Prithviraj also seems like a multiple man: he's an outraged husband crossed with a wrathful outfoxed copper. This officer has a startlingly cruel smile; one familiar to fans of Sean Connery, who used to register the excitement he was getting out of roughing up criminals and minor SPECTRE contractors.
Indeed there's a lot of male energy in what might sound like a woman's picture. The action sequences are frequently terrific: for instance, a Robin Hood worthy attack on a speeding motor caravan. One of the jungle guerrillas slithers out of the trees, sliding down the sides of the trucks. He clings unnoticed to the vehicle to doctor the gas tanks with palm leaves full of sugar. The physicality of these attacks expands to martial-arts dance numbers, with the rebels war-painted with khaki mud, and choreographed dancing in Singing in the Rain monsoons. In a flashback sequence, there's a wedding scene with campy eunuchs. An amusing drunken clown invades the story: the (once-again) one-named Karthik in the role akin to the monkey king Hanuman.
Raavanan is a long movie and the action breaks down on the back story. How this "ten-headed" king of men went on the bandit's path needs to be the crescendo of the story. Playing the bandit's sister, the actress Priyamani is in the same position Ash was a few years back. She doesn't exert herself all that much; why should someone of exceptional prettiness bother to act? (To be fair, Ash has improved greatly as an actress over the years.) It's as if Priyamani didn't realize she was the rudder of the tragedy. Her own fate anticipates the question torturing the husband of the snatched bride. Is his wife ravaged, or actually ravished?
It's 2011, and so one doesn't expect to hear the expression "sullied" used to describe a woman. But there that word is, right in the subtitles waiting for you in the final scenes. Whatever you call her, Sita can be kind of a doormat…as Paley noted when she was discussing her film.
Throwing Raavanan a bone, culturally speaking, is well worth the effort. When you see the settings (more verdant by far than the ones in Bridge on the River Kwai), or Ash's domestic-bliss dance number, or the way the film lavishes on us colossal idols, twists of fate and fight scenes on rope bridges 2000' high…you may feel that it's our own domestic cinema that hasn't been tossing any bones lately.
We saw this on the Barco digital system installed at the California Theatre. Though it's not nearly as developed as cinema on film yet, the visuals were mostly a success. The whites (which always glared in early digital projection systems) are becoming more modulated and less metallic. And the resolution is improved in detail; the digital copy is a transfer of an imperfect print with scratches and visible cue marks, but the lighting was strong enough to have the effect of '7os style pre-flashed photography.

Lott had an interception in the game. 5|32 Vic Milton/Getty Images New York Jets defensive tackle Joe Klecko during a dominant performance by his team over the Green Bay Packers in a 24-3 win. 6|32 John Iacono/SI "Sweetness," as the late Walter Payton will forever be remembered, combined finesse with power and raw, unbridled violence when he carried the ball. He crushed blitzing linebackers and made defensive backs grasp for air in the open field, playing with a style more symphonic than multi-dimensional. In 1985, the Hall of Fame back rushed for 1,551 yards on 324 carries. 7|32 George Gojkovich/Getty Images Steve Young had an inauspicious beginning to his Hall of Fame career with the 49ers. He started his career on the abysmal 1985 Tampa Bay Buccaneers, throwing three touchdowns in five games to go along with eight interceptions. The Bucs allowed 154 more points than they scored that season. 8|32 George Rose/Getty Images Lyle Alzado of the Los Angeles Raiders pauses for a moment during the Sept. 22 regular season matchup with the San Francisco 49ers at the L.A.

The four-time Pro Bowl receiver is shown here on the sideline during a 24-20 loss to the Miami Dolphins in '85. Stallworth was held to four catches for 41 yards and did not find the end zone. 11|32 Al Messerschmidt/Getty Images Marcus Allen of the L.A. Raiders rushed for 1,759 yards and 11 touchdowns on 380 carries in '85. That total was far and away his greatest workload, and likely as a result, his greatest output. Allen never again rushed for over 1,000 yards in any of his remaining 12 NFL seasons. 12|32 Nate Fine/Getty Images In one of the most gruesome injuries in the violent history of the NFL, Joe Theismann's career came to an end when Giants' linebacker Lawrence Taylor snapped Theismann's leg. The injury was so bad that the fearsome Taylor, who made a living from his desire to pummel quarterbacks, immediately ran towards the Redskins sideline yelling for help. 13|32 Focus on Sport/Getty Images Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann held a press conference along with girlfriend and actress Cathy Lee Crosby to talk about his injury. He suffered a compound multiple fracture of his right leg that doctors operated on. Theisman never played in the NFL again. 14|32 Al Messerschmidt/Getty Images Legendary Cowboys coach Tom Landry led Dallas to a 10-6 regular season to win the NFC East, but the 'Boys were shut out by the L.A.

In 1985 Largent was first team All-Pro and led the league in receiving yards. 19|32 Rick Stewert/Getty Images Bengals wide receiver Cris Collinsworth makes a move to get around Raiders defender Mike Haynes. Collinsworth's contract with the USFL Tampa Bay Bandits was voided that year when he failed a physical. He went on to have the third of his four 1,000-yard receiving seasons with Cincinnati. 20|32 Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images Third-year quarterback Dan Marino was too much for Buddy Ryan's vaunted 46 defense in a Monday Night Football game that set ratings records. The Dolphins defeated the Bears 38-24, keeping the undefeated 1972 Miami team as the only one with a perfect regular season. The Bears finished the year 15-1. 21|32 George Rose/Getty Images Raiders defensive end Howie Long and Chargers tight end Kellen Winslow exchange pleasantries during the Chargers' 40-34 overtime win. 22|32 George Rose/Getty Images Raiders owner Al Davis shunned the luxury box for the sidelines during this early December matchup with the Denver Broncos.

Modra/Sports Imagery/Getty Images New York Jets sack specialist Mark Gastineau sucks down some oxygen during a 16-13 Jets win over the New England Patriots. Gastineau finished 1985 with 13.5 sacks after setting an NFL record with 22 the season before. 26|32 Al Messerschmidt/Getty Images After being taken in the 1st round of the 1984 supplemental draft, "The Minister of Defense" burst onto the NFL scene in 1985 with a 13-sack rookie season for the Philadelphia Eagles. He wore No. 91 that first season because Smiley Creswell was wearing No. 92. Smiley wasn't on the '86 team and Reggie went back to No. 92. White played eight seasons in Philadelphia before adding his name to a lawsuit against the NFL that resulted in NFL players being granted free agency in 1992. He moved to Green Bay for the 1993 seasons and won Superbowl XXXII in 1997. 27|32 Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images Chicago Bears defensive coordinator Buddy Ryan talks to linebacker Wilber Marshall during a game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 28|32 Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images William "The Refrigerator" Perry, a defensive tackle by trade, was used as a goal line fullback during the 1985 Super Bowl run by the Chicago Bears.

Israel-China - 20 years
Israel and China mark 20 years of diplomatic relations
Israel and China are commemorating today (24 January) twenty years of diplomatic relations. Israel assigns great importance to the promotion of its ties with China, the number two economic power in the world, a member of the UN Security Council and a major player in Asia and in the international arena.
Former foreign ministers David Levy and Qian Qishen sign the agreement establishing diplomatic relations (Jan 24, 1992)
(Communicated by the MFA Spokesperson)
Israel and China are commemorating today (24 January) twenty years of diplomatic relations. Israel assigns great importance to the promotion of its ties with China, the number two economic power in the world, a member of the UN Security Council and a major player in Asia and in the international arena. Israel greatly admires the economic, scientific and technological development that characterizes the growth of China in the last few decades.
The connection between China and the Jewish people goes back a thousand years, to the time when Jewish merchants from Central Asia arrived via the Silk Road to the city of Kaifeng and found a home there.
The Jewish people appreciates that China provided a safe haven for thousands of Jews during two dark and difficult periods in its history: during the persecutions and pogroms in Russia at the end of the 19th century and throughout the Russian revolution, and during World War II, when 30,000 Jewish refugees from Europe found sanctuary in the city of Shanghai.
Despite the differences in size of population and geographical area, the Chinese people and the Jewish people share many similarities. Both are from the most ancient, continuous civilizations in the world; both place a high value on family and tradition, education and scholarship, persistence and hard work. Each is very aware of its rich historical heritage and both strive to contribute to the development of humankind.
China and Israel are enjoying a flowering of relations in recent years, with an ongoing political dialogue.
China has become Israel's third largest export market
bilateral trade is on the upswing
already for several years. In the last two years, a number of important agreements have been signed in the fields of the economy and science, and representatives of Israel's finest cultural institutions have visited China.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs views China as a state of high priority and in recent years has allocated many resources - human and monetary - for the promotion of ties between the two countries. As an example, two years ago Israel opened a consulate in southern China in the city of
, in addition to the existing consulates in
Hong Kong
, and the embassy in
The twentieth anniversary of diplomatic ties is an important milestone and many events - cultural, economic and scientific - are scheduled to take place in both countries with the aim of strengthening and expanding the relations between Israel and China.
As the twentieth anniversary approaches, there has been an exchange of Notes between the leaders of Israel and China, including the prime ministers, the presidents and the foreign ministers, which express their commitment to enhancing the relations between them.
PM Netanyahu on 20 years of diplomatic relations between Israel and China
Following are Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's remarks Tuesday evening, 24 January 2012, at an event marking 20 years of diplomatic relations between Israel and China:
Photo: GPO
"Israel and China are a successful combination because we are peoples rooted in glorious traditions that also embrace the future. The rise of modern China is one of the most important events of our time, as is the rise of modern Israel. We will never forget the goodwill of the
Chinese people who provided shelter for persecuted Jews
in the darkest hours. Millennia-old societies provide a strong basis for future cooperation in many fields. I believe that Israel and China can act together to ensure peace in the Middle East.
I was pleased to hear that China has begun to reduce oil purchases from Iran. I appreciate China's need to ensure a regular supply of sources of energy in order to continue its impressive growth. I believe that it is possible to replace Iranian oil and I hope that the Chinese leadership will join the European countries and quickly act to completely halt purchases of Iranian oil. Bilateral ties are important to us; therefore, we are committed to expanding them quickly in a variety of fields. To this end, I have issued a sweeping directive to approve any invitation to visit China. We are also launching a project that will bring to Israel 250 Chinese students a year. A large number of Israelis have already begun to study Chinese.
A Happy Year of the Dragon

Copper Mountain Resort ends its summer season this weekend with free music by Tab Benoit and Copper Cross mountain bike events. In addition, Copper will host the Make-a-Wish Foundation's Circle of Hope Challenge at Copper Creek Golf Course on Saturday and Sunday.
Saturday Concert Series, featuring Tab Benoit, September 11
Enjoy live music during the final of three shows in the Saturday Concert Series. Free live music on Saturday, September 11 is provided by Tab Benoit in Burning Stones Plaza from 6 - 8 p.m. Since his debut in 1992, Tab has garnered fifteen solo recordings, three Grammy nominations, and a budding movie career, but his work as a wetlands activist might be his most notable achievement. His rich tone, soulful voice, and seeped-with-tradition songwriting make him Louisiana's #1 Roots music export.
Copper Cross, September 11 & 12
Short Track Mountain Bike Event, September 11
Copper is excited to host a short track mountain bike event on Saturday, September 11 as part of Copper Cross. Short Track is a mountain bike competition similar to a criterium where riders complete multiple laps on a short 3 - 5 min dirt course for 20 - 25 minutes. Short Track is a cross between a criterium race, BMX, cyclocross, and single-track--super-fast and very spectator friendly.
Cyclocross Mountain Bike Event, September 12
Long popular in Europe, cyclocross is now one of the fastest growing sports in the U.S. Come check out the exciting and unique Copper Cross cyclocross race at Copper on Sunday, September 12 and see what all the hype is about. Cyclocross races consist of several laps on a short (1.5 - 2 mile) course featuring pavement, a Le Mans-style start, wooded trails, grass, steep hills, and obstacles requiring riders to quickly dismount and carry their bikes while navigating the obstruction and remounting. More details and registration information for both events is available at www.SoulEventsUSA.com.
Make-a-Wish Foundation's Circle of Hope Challenge, Copper Creek, September 11-12
Take part in one of the largest hole-in-one challenges at golf courses across the U.S. to raise money for terminally ill children during the Make-a-Wish Foundation's Circle of Hope Challenge at Copper Creek Golf Course, Sept. 11 & 12. The Circle of Hope Challenge is a 'one shot' challenge where golfers get the chance to win merchandise from the Copper Creek Golf Shop and $1,000,000 in the Circle of Hope Challenge Million Dollar Shootout. On a select par 3 hole, golfers try to make a hole in one or hit their tee shot in a 20-foot diameter circle around the pin. You can enter the contest with a modest $20 donation to the Make-a-Wish Foundation. See the event website for more information on this and all the stops on the challenge.

A Rose for Emily
by William Faulkner
A Rose for Emily Section 5 Summary
- Tobe opens the door to the women of the town on the day of the funeral, and then he leaves by the back door.
- He isn't seen again, as far as anyone knows.
- The cousins show up right away and hold the big funeral, on the day after Miss Emily's death.
- The narrator says that the town women are pretty grim.
- Some of the older men at the funeral wear their old Confederate soldier uniforms, and believe they are about the same age as Emily. They may even have danced with her and dated her when she was young.
- (Since Emily was seventy-four when she died, these guys must be near that age or older.)
- The narrator says that these men are confused about time, because they don't see the past as a "road" that they get father and farther away from, but as "a huge meadow which no winter ever quite touches" (5.2).
- This meadow of the past is only "divided from them by" the last decade (5.2).
- (We think that the narrator is basically saying that for these men, the past is a huge lush playground that never changes. Since the men aren't actually in that past literally, they still feel separated from it by time.)
- Anyhow, the narrator says that town already knows that upstairs in Miss Emily's house there is a certain room, a room that "no one had seen in forty years" (5.3).
- They know they will have to break down the door to get in there.
- Out of decency, they wait until after Miss Emily is buried before they do the deed.
- (You really should check out our "What's Up the Ending?", where you'll find a break-down of the story's final moments.)
- OK, so they've broken down the door.
- It's dusty in here!
- A deathliness seems to cover everything in the room, which is set up like a bridal suite.
- This deathliness covers the curtains, which are "of a faded rose color," and the light covers are "rose-colored" (5.4).
- It even colors the old, silver shaving-kit on the dressing table.
- Also on the dressing table we have a collar (in those days most men's shirts had removable collars), and a tie.
- In the bed, we have…
- Homer Barron!
- He's wearing a smile and his body looks like it "had once lain in the attitude of embrace" (5.6).
- (So he died hugging Emily?)
- We'll quote the next little bit for you: "[B]ut now the long sleep that outlasts love, that conquers even the grimace of love, had cuckolded him" (5.6).
- Let's take a closer look at this line: the "sleep that outlasts love" is death, right? To cuckold is to cheat on your significant other. So, we think the basic meaning of the passage is that death has finally cheated on him with Emily and/or that Emily has cheated on Homer with death.
- There isn't much left of Homer.
- He's just about rotted into the bed, nightshirt and all.
- There's a pillow next to him.
- On the pillow is "an indentation of a head" (5.7).
- One of the townspeople picks something up off of the pillow.
- It's a hair, a "long strand of iron-gray hair" (5.7).

Our World Series: Holland & Hart vs. Ropes & Gray
We're a sucker for those bets that mayors place on big sporting events. The Law Blog got in on the act earlier this year when we put the law deans of Michigan and Ohio State up to wagering on their big game (here). With the World Series we're brokering another friendly bet, this time between one of the Rocky Mountain's top law firms and one of Beantown's best.
Meet Larry Wolf (far left) and Paul Phillips (center), respectively the managing partner and the management committee chair of Holland & Hart, the largest law firm in the Rockies with 370 lawyers across 14 offices. The firm –-whose logo is "The Law Out West" — has shingles hanging in farflung locales like Billings, Mon. and Cheyenne, Wyo. What's up with that, the Law Blog asked.
"It's about us being the dominant law firm in the Rocky Mountain time zone," said Phillips. "We like to say everything from Canada to Mexico is Holland & Hart country." As for a World Series bet with a Boston firm, Phillips and Wolf were equally confident. Indeed, when the Rockies faced off against the Diamondbacks, they placed winning wagers with Phoenix's Snell & Wilmer and Lewis and Roca. "We're on a roll," boasted Wolfe.
What indigenous Rocky Mountain fare are they willing to bet on the Series? They thought it over, and have promised to deliver the following: a 10-pound buffalo prime rib roast, some Rocky-Mountain rattlesnake meat and some Chugwater Chili from Wyoming. "This is the Rockies time, because this is ROCKTOBER!" exclaimed Phillips.
We then checked in with John Montgomery (right), the managing partner of Ropes & Gray. The old-line Boston firm, founded in 1865 by a couple of Harvard Law grads, has expanded far beyond Beantown, with around 900 lawyers in offices around the world. Montgomery hails from Detroit so he still pulls for the Tigers, but after 36 years in Boston the Sox have won him over. "The Red Sox have my heart but not my history."
Montgomery did exhibit a bit of the swagger that has suddenly come over Red Sox fans, calling the Rockies "a nice little local team." He poked a lttle fun at the Rockies fan base. "It's a lot about the teams but it's also about the fans," said Montgomery. "We've got the entire Red Sox Nation behind this team and what do they have? A few fans from the Western hills?"
If the Sox lose, Montgomery said he's willing to put up the following: four lobsters, a quart of clam chowdah, a can of Boston baked beans, and Indian pudding, which we hear is a pretty nasty dessert.

HU-25: Guardian
The HU-25 Guardian is a medium-range surveillance fixed-wing aircraft. Also referred to as the Coast Guard's "Falcon", the aircraft is a military derivative of the Dassault Falcon 20 business jet, of which more than 500 were built for worldwide use. The HU-25 performs search and rescue, law enforcement such as migrant and drug interdiction, marine environmental protection, and military readiness. The first of 41 HU-25s was delivered in February 1982 and deliveries were complete by December 1983. The HU-25A and HU-25D are 56ft 3in in length (the HU-25C is 57ft 6in), with a wingspan of 53ft 6in and height of 17ft 7in. The service ceiling is 42,000ft, though current avionics restrict operations to 28,000ft and below. Maximum cruise speed at altitude is 420kts, with a maximum operating speed of .855 Mach. Sea-level maximum airspeed is 350kts.
Key features of the Falcon include its dash speed and capable mission sensors. The three models of the HU-25 (-A, -C, and –D) are distinguished by their sensor complement. The HU-25A has an APS-127 surface search radar. The HU-25C has an APG-66 air-to-air/surface search radar, electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensor, and tactical workstation. The HU-25D has an APS-143B multi-mode radar, EO/IR and tactical workstation. A sensor upgrade program in 2002-03 improved capabilities in HU-25Cs and reconfigured 6 HU-25As into HU-25Ds. An avionics upgrade in 2005-06 upgraded the navigation system with modern equipment common to the HH-65B.
Most of the HU-25s have been decommissioned already, with complete phase-out by 2014. They will be replaced by the HC-144A Ocean Sentry.
Mobile, AL: HU-25 static display for the 30th Anniversary Ceremony held at ATC Mobile. The HU-25 has been in service with the CG since April 2nd, 1982 and has logged over 500,000 flight hours with an estimated 74,000 SAR flight hours and 244,000 LE hours. With the Falcons departing ATC and Corpus Christi in 2014, the USCG HU-25 era will come to an end, but they won't stop inspiring and they won't stop being part of the fabric of Coast Guard history – as one of the fastest overwater rescue assets of all time. HU25s are continuing to be national assets as 5 are currently serving with distinction at NASA and USAF facilities conducting research and national security missions.

I just read an article in a gun magazine, although I can't remember the name of the magizine, about the new charter arms .327 Federal Magnum.
Has anyone shot one of these? The article made it sound like the ballistics were impressive. They even compared the recoil to the .357 magnum.

GUEST OPINION: Difference in attitude
By Hugh Holub, special for Inside Tucson Business
Published on Friday, February 26, 2010
One of the interesting pieces of information from the Census statisticians is the difference in median household income between Tucson and Phoenix. According to the American Community Survey compiled in 2003, in Phoenix the median household income is $40,919 a year and in Tucson it is $32,414. That's a difference of more than $8,500.
So if you want to make $8,500 a year more in your family, what is the answer?
Why is this the case? Local government being hostile to business?
My favorite Tucson story involves a business that put flags up in front of its headquarters in honor of each country it did business in. They were cited for violating Tucson's sign code. They moved their headquarters outside the area.
But the governments of Tucson and Pima County reflect the people who vote and participate in the political process.
It could be said that a whole lot of people in Tucson do not depend on the local private sector to eat. And even if they do, they don't vote their paychecks. How could they when Tucson is a franchise town?
Tucson is also a government town.
If you look around the broader region, from Austin to Albuquerque to Maricopa County and westward, you see communities with very strong and clearly identifiable private sector business leadership. They have big plans. They have a "can do" attitude about improving the income levels of their areas. They have courage and confidence.
When the other cities go looking for jobs, they land Intel plants. When Tucson looks for jobs they land call centers that compete with workers from India.
Recently when companies were solicited by the federal government for renewable energy proposals, all of the companies on the short list were from Maricopa County. None were from Tucson.
There is also a healthy respect for the private sector in El Paso, San Antonio, Austin, Albuquerque, Phoenix, Las Vegas and San Diego. Not so in Tucson. The private sector is viewed by many as the enemy of desert rodents.
Look at the downtowns of the cities in the region. You see lots of privately owned buildings.
Tucson has an almost total governmental monopoly of ownership of its downtown. The only cities with higher percentages of government buildings might be Washington,D.C., or Moscow.
The private sector in downtown Tucson was bulldozed out of existence in favor of monuments to tax revenues.
A friend once suggested making the downtown library building — which is spectacularly out of place architecturally — a mausoleum for dead Tucson politicians. Government workers could have an annual parade down Stone Avenue, with local politicians standing on the roof of the building.
The lawn next to the mausoleum would have gravestones for all the downtown businesses that have died since 1950. There would be lots of them.
What is Tucson the headquarters of besides one of the most obstructionist environmental groups in the nation?
What is Tucson famous for making, besides a sign code that makes it difficult to fly an American flag at your business?
Inside Tucson Business came out with its 2010 Book of Lists at the end of January. A suggestion for a new List in the 2011 edition might be: Regional Business Leaders. Who are they?
And besides reducing the amount of red tape businesses have to deal with, what should business leaders be doing to eliminate that $8,500 a family income gap?

Tucson's modern streetcar – now we get to the pesky details
WAKE UP, TUCSON: Does it make sense?
By Joe Higgins, Inside Tucson Business, or Chris DeSimone, Inside Tucson Business
Published on Friday, February 26, 2010
We can hear it now, "Why do those Wake Up guys have to bang on the streetcar?" Don't they have anything better to do than bum us out about this "high point" in Tucson's economic development soap opera?
Does light rail make sense when Tucson lacks a crosstown freeway, our streets are so bad Joe almost lost his car in a pothole, and freight trains routinely botch up rush hour traffic along the east side of Interstate 10?
Spending $144 million — $38 million per mile — to build rail tracks on roads that nearly empty Sun Tran buses now travel makes complete sense to us — in fantasyland! Print this story
Our electeds love to work with the broad brushstroke. That's good for campaign pamphlets, but the pesky details about this modern streetcar/light rail worry us.
It'll spur private investment
Portland, Ore., is the land of light rail. They've been modernizing their light rail system since 1986. After 10 years, Portland's then-City Commissioner Charles Hales noted the many vacant sites along its light rail system and said, "It's a myth to think the market will take care of development along transit corridors."
Ten years and a career change later, in 2006 Hales, now a development consultant to HDR Engineering, the company that helped sell Tucson on light rail, was quoted saying "The $55 million streetcar line has sparked more than $1.5 billion (and growing) in new development."
What the ex-commissioner, now light rail promoter, failed to mention is to-date, Portland's governmental subsidies have exceeded $1.5 billion.
It'll spur housing
Is light rail really the impetus to finally get student housing built downtown? For the last decade, the University of Arizona has suffered from a housing shortage and downtown needed the development.
Downtown has the Ronstadt Transit Center and lots of Sun Tran buses to take students to campus.
The lack of student housing downtown has more to do with developers not wanting to get tangled up in the city's and Rio Nuevo's insider deals, development services, payoffs for pet projects, bureaucracy, and more.
Having a streetcar without major reform in the downtown redevelopment process leaves us in the same swamp of stagnation.
Ongoing expenses
Once the light rail is built it's going to take money to keep it running. Fares are planned to be somewhere between $1 and $2 per ride. The actual cost will be something else.
The scariest example comes from Beaverton, Ore., where the TriMet system has an average cost of $33 per rider but collects just $1.15 per person in fares. (read about Oregons experience HERE)
Construction isn't cheap
The "Happy Gilmore" check in federal stimulus money our esteemed electeds now hold represents $63 million of a total $144 million project. Tucson Transportation Director Jim Glock was quoted saying it will more than likely come in under budget. God bless him in his optimism.
Call us skeptical, but after a 50 percent cost overrun on the $46 million Fourth Avenue Underpass and the $820,000 that was spent on a 15-minute movie about Rio Nuevo, our confidence in the cost projection is a little low.
The Federal Transit Administration studied 21 rail projects and found they had an average 40 percent cost overrun on construction. That's only an extra $56 million in Tucson's case. Maybe the mayor can find that amount under the cushions of his couch. (Read the US Dept of Transportation report HERE)
Why not celebrate?
Lastly, we've heard: "How can you guys knock Tucson winning a $63 million federal grant, who would be against something so wonderful?" Our simple response is these tax dollars are your tax dollars. The working family in Oakland, Calif., the single mom in Lincoln, Neb., and the cab driver in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., are all contributing to a city in Arizona that's getting $63 million of their hard-earned tax dollars. For what? To build a four-mile rail system that will shuttle college students to and from school.
Other's excitement and Tucson's excitement over winning the money may not match up.
We hope we are wrong regarding Tucson's venture into the world of light rail. We hope ridership is through the roof and businesses spring up along the route. We hope the project comes in under budget. We hope light rail is the spark downtown needs to get going.
Our history, research and past experience with projects run by the City of Tucson just isn't encouraging.

|10/17/2005 IBM article
|Monday, October 17, 2005IBM in Tucson: Past, present, future
Once the city's biggest private employer, still a major player
quarter of a century ago today, IBM dedicated its sprawling high-tech plant on Tucson's Southeast Side.
The town was giddy: We landed Big Blue. The high-tech research and manufacturing operation employed 1,000 workers and was expected to grow to 5,500.
Eight years later, IBM announced it would shut down the manufacturing portion of the facility, laying off 2,800 people.

Reach of local IBM spans globe
Fast forward 17 years and Tucson still has not recovered – at least in manufacturing.
IBM's downscaling hit so hard that to this day a number of people living here believe IBM "left" town, even though the company today is Tucson's No. 2 high-tech employer with 1,850 employees.
"I'm not sure we recovered to the point to where Tucson was in the first few years of (IBM) production," said George Leaming, owner of the Western Economic Analysis Center in Marana. "There's been nothing to replace IBM. The IBM loss and Texas Instruments cutback (from 1,300 under the Burr-Brown name to about 900 today), has had a depressing impact on the commercial industry and the labor market. It's made it much less stable."
IBM's campus, however, provided a template that has allowed Tucson to launch a next-generation high-tech sector built around much smaller technology firms in the areas of optics, bioindustry, plastics, information technology, nanotechnology, environmental technology and aerospace.
"These are the jobs that every city lusts over," said Marshall Vest, UA's economic forecaster. "It's clean industry, high value, high-wage jobs."
Tech park acts as launching pad
IBM's massive campus, with 11 buildings and 1.9 million square feet of floor space, was essentially given to the University of Arizona in 1994 and has reemerged as the UA Science and Technology Park. Today the park houses 30 companies instead of one and employment has topped 7,000 – more workers than IBM ever had on the property.
IBM, which still fills four buildings (and parts of two others), remains a dominant tenant along with Raytheon.
"The science park is a major asset to this community," Vest said. "If a city is offered a portfolio, one big company or 30 smaller companies, a city would take 30 companies every time. It's a portfolio management idea."
As the tech park's chief operating officer, Bruce Wright orchestrated the former IBM campus's reinvention to top-rated university research park. Wright is on the verge of diversifying beyond industry by building a 250-room hotel at the park with other plans calling for housing.
The tech park has added an average of 500 employees a year since UA acquired the property.
"Despite the fact there is a lot of churn in high-tech, we've seen this to be pretty steady," Wright said. "The high-tech world is highly competitive and ever changing and you can't embrace a formula and expect it to carry you long into the future. We have to constantly track trends. We're trying to understand what's happening with the nano and bio industries.
"The goal in economic development is diversification. If you're doing this right, the big companies will attract the medium-sized companies. In the main, the park is much stronger because of the diversification we have." Back in 1977, the goal was the bigger the better and nothing was bigger than IBM announcing it would build a massive manufacturing plant on land it had been piecing together since 1969.
Everything went hyper-speed with this project, even John Carter's hiring as the first general manager for the Tucson plant.
"At home (in Rochester, Minn.), I got a call Friday and was asked to be in a meeting at 8 a.m. Saturday in San Jose," Carter said. "I went to San Jose, was offered the job, flew back because I had a bridge party in Minnesota Saturday night. I started (in Tucson) on Wednesday."
Broad impact
IBM brought much change to Tucson.
The company imported bushels of intellect. IBMers showed up at group mixers and networking events, triggering many a "chance meeting," said David Taylor, the city's planning administrator.
"There's a synergy that would not occur otherwise," Taylor said. "That starts more research and development. There's no meter on that."
Nonprofit organizations received a big boost.
IBM and its employees have given to United Way more than $13 million since 1977, the second highest total behind Raytheon, IBM spokesman Lon Levitan said.
"Even in 1994 (when the company had only 850 employees), they were still the second largest contributor," said Duff Hearon, chairman of the Ashland Group investment firm and United Way chairman in 1994.
This month, 600 IBM employees took part in United Way's Days of Caring, in which 2,500 community volunteers worked for two days on 168 projects for 59 agencies. IBM is the driving force behind Days of Caring, the largest volunteer push of the year, said Ed Parker, executive director of the United Way of Tucson and Southern Arizona.
Home prices soar
The company's employees also caused real estate values to shoot up.
Home prices surged 10 percent to 15 percent in 1977-78 as thousands of IBMers flocked to town, said Chuck Pettis, former president of Tucson Realty & Trust.
Average home prices in Tucson jumped 13.5 percent in 1977, the year IBM announced its intentions, and then escalated 24.6 percent in 1978 and 30.2 percent in 1979 as thousands of IBMers moved to Tucson, according to statistics provided by Vest.
"They certainly had an important role, particularly the first wave of more expensive homes in the foothills," said Pettis, today a real estate consultant for the University of Arizona Foundation.
And IBMers found the Northwest Side – clear across town from the plant – jump-starting a housing boom there.
"They found the commute by freeway was just as easy or easier than going through town," he said. "(The Northwest Side) had not boomed yet."
UA big winner
IBM's influence at the University of Arizona goes beyond the Science and Technology Park. Only four universities provide more graduates to IBM nationwide than UA. More than 100 Wildcats in the past three years went to work for IBM, Levitan said.
Many of those came from the No. 2-ranked management information systems program at UA's Eller College of Management. Eller's management information systems program was one of 12 business schools to get $1 million from IBM in the early 1980s, and since then IBM's Tucson plant has donated computer equipment, ranging from services and storage systems to wireless systems and PCs.
"IBM has been instrumental in the initial development of the MIS program and its continuing prominence as a major player in the MIS field," said Mohan Tanniru, head of the MIS program.
IBM's $1 million put Eller on the map and opened the door to other institutions giving nearly $50 million to MIS. The program pioneered developing technology systems for group decision making before the group management mentality gained popularity, and UA'S MIS developed COPLINK, which links law enforcement databases and gained prominence during the Washington, D.C., area sniper shootings.
"In general, IBM hires our students, they evaluate our student projects They are an integral part of our education process," Tanniru said.
IBM Employment
1964 – 41 engineers and technicians to maintain IBM equipment here
October 1977 – announced building of manufacturing plant with possible 5,000 employees
October 1977 – projected to employ 1,000 by the end of 1979, a few months later increased that to 1,500-2,000
March 1978 – said could have 5,000 by 1983.
1988 – 5,500 workers
June 29, 1988 – IBM announces it will eliminate 2,800 jobs at its Tucson manufacturing plant. Many accepted a generous buyout (see tomorrow's article).
1991 – 2,500
1993 – 1,700
1994 – 850
2005 – 1,800
Source: Tucson Citizen archive
1,850 employees
$ 150M payroll
$ 12M paid by IBM and its employees in state income, local sales and property taxes each year
800 IBM employees volunteered locally in the past year
100 graduates of local colleges hired by IBM in the past year
1,300 retired IBMers live in Tucson
It's been 25 years since IBM dedicated its Rita Road facility. Although its corporate presence in Tucson has been erratic, the company has helped shape the city's business environment, economic development and community service.
Today – Even when IBM drastically downsized its Tucson operation, the city benefited. The original campus now houses 30 small businesses.
Tomorrow – When the company laid off thousands of employees about 15 years ago, many left with healthy buyouts. Some of them started businesses that are still here.
Why Tucson's elected officials put business on the back burner
WAKE UP TUCSON: Time to restore balance
By Joe Higgins, Inside Tucson Business, or Chris DeSimone, Inside Tucson Business
Published on Saturday, February 13, 2010
We have many callers to our "Wake Up Tucson" radio show who ask the same question: Why are business owners treated like second-class citizens in Tucson and Pima County? One big reason is that the environmental lobby and the neighborhood associations have done an end-run around the business community.
It's time for the business community to meet the competition for your local elected officals' interest. They are kicking your butt.
Environmental lobby
The environmental lobby is extremely successful in our region. There are dozens of groups loosely assembled but they come together like a laser light focus to achieve their goal. Their mission is to stop humans from encroaching on habitat and slow or stop growth from coming to the Sonoran Desert.
Their techniques are multi-pronged and in most cases, very effective. Some of the tools of their trade include:
• The Endangered Species Act, which uses the federal court system to block growth.
• The Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan, adopted in the late 1990s that laid the path for future growth, land use planning and wildlife corridors.
• Political influence exerted on county elected officials and bureaucrats. Taxpayers have spent over $200 million buying ranches around the county. Uber-environmentalists sit on the Pima County Bond Committee, for gosh sake. With only 16 percent of the land in Pima County in private hands and 10 percent already built, the idea of affordable housing that matches our region's wages will soon be gone.
• Federal rules regarding dust control, navigable water ways, 404 bridge crossing permits, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineer studies.
• The joint water–wastewater study, which has been in planning for 20 months, is the latest battleground. The blue ribbon panel (Blue Ribbon Panels: Where good ideas go to die…) is looking to merge Tucson Water and Pima County Wastewater Management. In the Phase II report, we see lots of talk about sustainability and stopping growth but little discussion on diversifying our industries. The county has been using its wastewater authority to control growth for years. Give those bureaucrats Tucson Water and things will look even worse.
NIMBY associations
If the goal of the environmental lobby is to stop sprawl and preserve the desert, then city folk need to allow for denser populations, vertical growth, tear down and rebuilds, and infill of vacant lots. When a business man or woman tries to venture into the Tucson city limits to open, develop or grow a business, they run into an entirely new set of problems:
• A land use code that has such restrictive parking, set backs, landscape requirements and now rainwater harvesting, that less and less of their property is actually usable.
• A system that allows one or two rogue neighbors to wield tremendous political influence. A small minority faction can delay your business opening until you're out of money or completely discouraged to the point that you wonder why you chose Tucson in the first place.
• City council members and offices that realize taking care of neighborhoods above all else has been the path to getting re-elected. When elected officials' actions are constantly in deference to what these vocal minorities want, the message to city staff is pretty clear: Take care of the neighbors and put the business owner on the back burner.
The business community is trapped between enviros in the county and neighborhood associations in the city. What are we to do as a group? As we've said before, the electeds need to fear us at election time — 97 percent of all electeds want one thing in life: to be re-elected. They know the dysfunctional business community does little to help them or their opponents get elected. They will continue to govern in favor of the groups that they perceive will get them votes.
Environmental groups and NIMBY neighborhood associations are united and passionate about their issues. Who speaks on behalf of the Tucson business community with passion and on a consistent basis?
Each month, we ask that question during our many presentations to business groups. We haven't received an answer yet.

At one point, the Cowboys felt strongly enough about the Northern Illinois product to sign him to a four-year, $32 million deal. In the time since, he's been shifted from LT to RT, and from starting RT to part of a platoon at the position with Jermey Parnell. While there has been talk that he'd simply be released if he didn't agree to a pay cut, the Cowboys have been losing replacement options left and right over the past few weeks, the latest of which was Tyson Clabo, who agreed to a deal with Miami on Sunday. So who's left?

A Panama City woman is upset and wants answers after discovering that her autistic son was left on a bus miles away from his school for 2 hours, then got off and was found by a parent in the area.
Jessica Howard's 5-year-old son Gabriel attends Margaret K. Lewis School in Millville, so it came as a surprise when she received a call that her son had been found in the parking lot of Tommy Smith Elementary School, in Bayou George, about 8.5 miles away.
"I get a phone call at 11:30 at my place of work, stating if I have a son that is autistic and I told him I did," said Howard. After she described her son to him, she found out where her son was.
Apparently the egregious error was due to the bus driver and bus aide failing to walk from the front to the back of the bus to check for students that were left on the bus. Bay District School officials aren't pleased with the discovery.
"We have the responsibility to transport kids safely to and from school," said Dr. John L. Haley, Executive Director of Operational Support Services, "and we take that responsibility very, very seriously."
Haley says the bus driver and the bus aide were both fired after a quick investigation into the matter.

Flagstaff, Ariz. -- July 20, 2014 -- "This is a proud day for the Navajo Nation," declared Navajo Nation President Ben Shelly to an audience gathered for AAA's presentation of their prestigious Four Diamond Award Plaque at Twin Arrows Casino Resort last Friday. The recently-expanded resort earned the AAA Four Diamond Award for its stunning architecture, customer satisfaction and infusion of Navajo culture into amenities and décor.
Mary Beth Reisinger, AAA Arizona Director traveled from Phoenix to the resort on Indian lands just fifteen miles east of Flagstaff to present the diamond-studded plaque at the recognition ceremony.
"When we opened a year ago, we knew there were great things to come," continued President Shelly. "We had a vision from the beginning of building a casino resort that would achieve four diamonds."
"This award is a symbol of the Navajo People's Glittering World, or the Fifth World and final World that the Navajo People ascended to," described the president of the Navajo Nation.
Derrick Watchman, Navajo Nation Gaming Enterprise stated, "This four-diamond award is a culmination of all the effort put into our hotel, services, amenities, room décor, modern convenience – all of which adds to the ambiance and experience associated with the four-diamond recognition."
"The award is a reflection of Navajo Gaming employees dedication to not only providing a superior customer service experience, but in sharing our Navajo Culture with the world," pronounced CEO Watchman.
"When we began planning for this property, we made a conscious effort to be more than an upscale property – Twin Arrows would be distinctively Navajo and this would be an opportunity through art, architecture, cuisine and hospitality to express Navajo to the world in a way that hadn't been done before," he described.
When recognizing Twin Arrows employees, Watchman said, "Most people don't realize the tremendous amount of work that our executive team and managers have put forth the past year and a half to train 700 new employees, some that did not have previous hospitality experience, and raise our entire team to a level that is worthy of the four diamond recognition."
"Thank you to each of our 1,400 Navajo Gaming Employees," he expressed to some of the employees gathered for the ceremony, which was opened in prayer by tribal member Kevin Todacheenie.
"Our vision is to continue our growth in both the gaming and hospitality industry and as Chairman Jackson [Navajo Nation Gaming Enterprise] has always stated, we'll provide more jobs and return more revenue to the Nation,"
According to Twin Arrow Resort and Casino spokespeople, AAA recently evaluated the facility and its 110-room resort expansion. "The achievement ranks Twin Arrows Navajo Casino Resort as a premier establishment esteemed by AAA's professional inspectors, the hospitality industry and its millions of members. Only five percent of the more than 29,000 properties approved by AAA achieve this prestigious distinction," explained a Twin Arrows spokesperson. "Additionally, Twin Arrows Navajo Casino is the only Flagstaff destination to receive this honor."
AAA defines a four-diamond property as "Refined and stylish with upscale physical attributes that reflect enhanced quality throughout. Fundamental hallmarks include extensive amenities and a high degree of hospitality, service and attention to detail."

Florida Marlins: Rookies dressed up for flight to Atlanta
It's that time of year again.
Wes Helms, Will Ohman, and others veterans bought costumes for all the rookies on the club to wear on their trip from Milwaukee to Atlanta. Most of the outfits were ladies' costumes. For instance, Logan Morrison was in a Pamela Anderson-style Baywatch bathing suit (see photo below courtesy of his Twitter account), Scott Cousins had on a hot pink flight attendant outfit, Alex Sanabia had on female boxer attire, alluding to his role in the brawl with the Nationals. In addition, Mike Stanton and Jose Ceda dressed as babies (photo below courtesy of a Stanton tweet), Stanton in a pink onesie and Ceda in an over-sized "cry baby" get-up.
