The Feministing Five: Ai-jen Poo
For the past 12 years, Ai-jen Poo has been fighting for the workers "that make all other work possible." Co-director of Caring Across Generations and director of the National Domestic Workers Alliance (NDWA), she was recently named by TIME Magazine as one of the 100 Most Influential People of 2012. And we've been fans of hers here at Feministing for awhile now.
Working in the private sphere behind closed doors, domestic workers are particularly vulnerable to basic labor violations. Our nation's caregivers face long hours (sometimes as long as 16 hours per day) and no overtime pay or health insurance. There are no safety nets for domestic workers. If a domestic worker falls ill, is fired without notice or severance, or suffers an injury, the vast majority of the time, they will not qualify for existing social safety nets such as unemployment or disability benefits. Making matters even worse, domestic workers lack collective bargaining legal protections afforded other workers in the 1930s National Labor Relations Act.
Ai-jen Poo is looking to change all of that. In 2010, thanks to a 6-year campaign by NDWA, the governor of New York passed the country's first statewide Domestic Workers Bill of Rights. The bill establishes eight hours as a legal day's work, one day of rest in each calendar week, 3 paid days off after one year of employment, and protections against workplace discrimination and sexual harassment by their employer. And NDWA is looking to pass the second Domestic Worker's Bill of Rights in California. (Sign the petition here!) They're also spearheading the Caring Across Generations campaign which is a comprehensive campaign changing how society treats care. Creating more jobs, making sure those jobs are quality and dignified, demanding affordable healthcare and creating paths to citizenship are all parts of the agenda. Finally, they are hosting a national seniors conference in Florida this September to mobilize the people directly affected by these issues.
All of this work is made possible through the collective work of NDWA and by Poo's commitment to raising the voices and stories of those that perform the most sacred of jobs–carework.
And now, without further ado, the Feministing Five, with Ai-jen Poo.
AS: What has it been like so far being named by TIME as one of the 100 Most Influential People of 2012?
AP: It's been really exciting to have a different platform for the stories and campaigns of domestic workers. A lot more people are getting connected to us and learning about us. We're really excited to start building relationships with the other people in the TIME 100. We're also really looking forward to being able to shine a different light on the stories of domestic workers where more and more people are starting to realize this workforce is incredibly important. It can help lead the way to a more caring and sustainable future for all of us.
Anna Sterling: How did you get involved with domestic care?
Ai-jen Poo: Mostly through getting involved in women's organizations. Both my mother and grandmother are strong influences on me. Both of them took care of their families, went to school, did forms of care work in their jobs. My grandma was a nurse and my mother's a doctor. They place a really high premium on care, know the value of it and how important it is for healthy families and communities. I was raised to both really value it, but also to notice how undervalued it is as a broader society.
I think the reality is this country has never really accounted for the work it takes to raise families and has always devalued that work which we call "the work that makes all other work possible." When I started getting involved in women's organizations, partly it was about seeking equity in how work is valued, but also looking at the violence against women that happens in our communities. I volunteered at a domestic violence organization that advocated for Asian American immigrant women survivors of domestic violence and it was so clear to me that organizing is absolutely vital. The problems are endless. We really need to build solutions that get us at root causes of why violence happens. Advocacy and organizing are really important. That's how I got interested in working alongside women to try to lift up the stories of women who are directly affected and to try and build organizations and leadership among those women.
Finally, I'd say that when you look at violence in our communities, it's really the ability to have economic opportunity that allows women to break cycles of violence and I think for Asian immigrant women, the choices are limited. It's really important we both create choices and also improve the quality of all jobs so every job out there is one you can take pride in and support your family on and you can do it with dignity. As I started doing the work, these things became clear to me that we need to really support the leadership of women and the voices of women, that we need to be doing organizing and advocacy and that we need to be building an agenda that really expands opportunity and brings value and dignity to all kinds of work.
AS: What are your next goals?
AP: There's over 2 million domestic workers in this country and we want to organize all of them. We're building organizations in 20 cities around the country so we're going to continue that organizing. In 2013, after we win in California this year, which we will, we want to introduce legislation in six additional states. Those are Maryland, Washington, Massachusetts, Colorado, Illinois and Hawaii. We'll be really aggressively pushing for labor standards for domestic workers and recognition. At the national level, we're working together with 200 organizations representing people from all walks of life, including seniors and people with disabilities, people who need care together with homecare workers and domestic workers to build a movement together that's about transforming long-term care for everyone. We want to create 2 million new jobs in homecare. We want to transform caregiver jobs so that they're quality, dignified jobs that everyone can take pride in and we want to make care more affordable so every single person who needs care in this country can get it and have the choice to stay at home and in their communities as they age, as well as create a path to citizenship for immigrant care workers. This campaign called Caring Across Generations is trying to bring together people of all walks of life to create a more caring economy that really recognizes everyone's dignity. It's a big, exciting campaign that's going to be doing a lot of work this year, including a national senior convention in Florida in September to really lift up the voices of our elders.
AS: What are some of the challenges you face?
AP: We're in the fight of our lives for the soul of this country. There's one path that we could continue to go down which is increasing inequality and taking away the safety net and leaving people increasingly in isolation with less and less economic opportunity or we could go down this other path which is to work together to create a vision for an economy and a democracy that works for everyone. I think we're constantly torn between those two directions and I think that a big challenge is getting the voices and stories of people in the media. That's why your work is so important in terms of giving voice to women and the visions, hopes and dreams of women. I think that really getting those voices out there is going to be key to moving us towards the direction of dignity and respect for everybody. You've got a big sound barrier to break through in the media and we've got a lot of work to go to build the movement we need for the future.
AS: What can we do to get involved?
AP: There's so much you can do. Every single campaign that we've had has involved people of all walks of life, not only domestic workers. You can right now sign a Change.org petition and help us pass legislation in California, which will begin a national momentum towards establishing labor standards. You can get involved in Caring Across Generations. We're building local care coalitions and having townhall meetings in 15 cities across the country. If you go to CaringAcrossGenerations.org, you can sign up to join our list and get updates. You can also see where we're organizing care congresses, big town hall events that are launching our local campaigns, and stay connected to us that way.
AS: Who is your favorite fictional heroine, and who are your heroines in real life?
AP: In real life, Ella Baker is my hero. She was an incredible build-bridger, and leader in the Civil Rights-era. She was the organizer who knit everything together. She's somebody who I learned a lot from. And I have 10,000 heroes who are our members of the NDWA. The courage I witness everyday from our members and leaders who bring so much love and care and generosity to the work that they do–even when society devalues that work, they assert the dignity of that work. It takes a tremendous amount of courage and strength to do that and so they're my heroes.
AS: You're going to a desert island and get to take one food, one drink and one feminist. What do you pick?
AP: Coconut water. Broccoli rabe comes to my mind, I don't know why! I would take Alice Walker who is an amazing storyteller so she can tell me stories.

As radioactivity reaches the coast of Canada this week and U.S. borders this April 2014, scientists are reassuring the public that no major threat is posed by the contaminated ocean waters. Following the devastating tsunami back in 2011 that wrecked the Fukushima nuclear plant and caused a toxic leak in Japan, experts have been keeping a close eye on a potentially tainted Pacific Ocean. eCanada Now reports this Wednesday, Feb. 26, 2014, that the first evidence of contamination has arrived off the British Columbian coast of Canada, according to recent water samples.
After over two years, the radioactivity reaches coast threat has seeped into North American waters following the massive Fukushima leak. A new presentation held at the yearly Ocean Sciences meetings revealed that ocean experts did confirm that the public should not be seriously worried, however. All radiation levels tested in a number of coastal water sites have been determined to be at a very low amount and ultimately safe.
While the contamination may have already spread to locations not far from the Canadian coast, it is estimated by researchers that toxic radionuclides will hit the U.S. coast off Hawaii as early as April 2014. The Fukushima leak aftermath is set to continue to trickle into the U.S. state's beautiful waters for the next 24 months, but scientists have stated that the radioactive plume will not seriously pose a threat to either people living near the coastal waters or ocean life.
Due to the massive circulatory patterns that flow within the Pacific Ocean, ascertaining precisely when the radioactivity reaches the coast and hits its most intense contamination point is virtually impossible at this point. However, scientists say that because they are continually testing the waters, they will be able to alert the public if and when radioactive levels ever become dangerous.
Although contamination from the Fukushima leak has now hit Canadian shores, scientists again reaffirm that no immediate threat is present. No danger is anticipated to be present when the tainted waters reach U.S. territory this April 2014.
"At this point, these levels are clearly not a human or biological threat in Canada," the expert stated.

Over the past few days the winter storm known as Ion created temperatures below zero in much of the United States, which set a record in many locations. In some locations in northern United States temperatures reached twenty or even thirty below zero – the kind of ranges normally only seen in Alaska. Yesterday the temperature reached a low of -27 in Minneapolis, -16 in Chicago, -4 in St. Louis, and -8 in Indianapolis.
Along with the record low temperatures has come a predictable reigniting of the debate over climate change. Former presidential candidate Donald Trump led the charge by taking to Twitter to argue,
"Record snowfall & freezing temps throughout the country. Where is Global Warming when you need it?!"
The opposite argument is occasionally made by climate change believers during a particularly bad heat wave or drought in the summer. Bad hurricanes and tornadoes are cited as proof of the existence of global warming and climate change, while blizzards and record snowfalls are cited as disproof.
Both sides misunderstand the nature of climate change. The scientists who have documented climate change, and who have attempted to predict its effect, have never predicted that climate change would do away with winters. Furthermore, no credible scientists would say climate change is the sole cause of one storm, or claim that one storm system disproves climate change. Climate change is a gradual phenomenon which occurs over years, decades, and even centuries. It is not proved, or disproved, over a weather spell of days, weeks, or even months.
For the non-climatologists among us, including myself, it may be best to understand climate change in baseball terms. Anyone who watches baseball knows there is a dramatic difference, in terms of effect, between a hitter who bats for .250 average and one who bats for .350 average. A .350 hitter would be one of the best at his position, typically competing for batting title at the Major League Baseball level. A .250 hitter, on the other hand, will usually be a below average hitter, often struggling just to keep his job. Yet, statistically one could argue there is little difference between the two players. The .350 hitter simply gets one more hit every ten at bats than the .250 hitter.
If the .350 hitter garnered no hits over ten or twenty at-bats during a season it would not make him a bad hitter. Instead, his season is measured over how he performs over 500 or more at-bats. In the same way, if a .250 hitter went on crazy hot streak and got 10 hits in 15 at-bats it would not make him an All-Star, instead he is best measured by how he does over the long-term.
In the same way that a blizzard or record low temperatures do not disprove global warming, just one homerun does not make a bad hitter a good hitter, and three strikeouts in a row do not make a good hitter a bad one.
What is true is that a .350 hitter is more likely to get a hit over the long term than the .250 hitter.. In the same way, climate change scientists argue that climate change is more likely, over the long term, to create warmer temperatures with extreme weather effects. This does not mean that every hurricane or tornado can be blamed on climate change, but that hurricanes and tornadoes may be more likely with climate change in the same way that .350 hitter is more likely to hit a triple in given at-bat. At the same time, there will still be winter and extremely cold weeks like the one the United States is suffering right now, just as there times a .350 hitter goes hitless over a few games.
Some scientists even go as far as to argue that climate change could bring about colder weather in the winter. According to this theory, which is not completely agreed upon by scientists, global warming weakens a typically strong jet stream which keeps arctic air masses from coming down and creating the kind of extreme temperatures the United States is currently experiencing. Continuing with our baseball analogy, it would be akin to a power hitter being more prone to striking out because of his violent swing.
Of course, this summary will not end the debate. The next record low or high is sure to bring about the same argument, but perhaps this article convinced a few people - or at least the baseball fans among us.

The field of 16 Stanley Cup hopefuls has been whittled down to the final four. The 2014 Stanley Cup champion will be either the Chicago Blackhawks, Los Angeles Kings, Montreal Canadiens, or New York Rangers. All others must wait another year. On Friday, May 16, 2014 the Los Angeles Kings defeated the Anaheim Ducks 6-2 in Game 7 of the Western conference semifinal, to become the last team to join the pack. Now that the Stanley Cup playoffs have reached critical mass, let's breakdown the two Conference championship series'.
I went 5-3 with picks in Rd 1 (Tampa Bay, Philly, Colorado lost) and 3-1 (Boston lost) with picks in Rd 2. Overall record 8-4; not bad for a semiprofessional. Now let's get into some further prognostication.
Eastern Conference final: New York Rangers vs Montreal Canadiens (Montreal won reg season series, 2 games to 1) - This "Original six" matchup looks to be a low-scoring affair, based on the two teams only scoring a combined 4 goals in three regular season meetings, though Montreal was outshot 102-76. Both teams have great frontline scoring. For thie season, Max Pacioretty led the Canadiens with 39 goals. In all, the Canadiens have five players who scored at least 16 goals during the regular season. Forward Rene Bourque had only nine goals in 63 regular season games, but has come alive and scored 4 goals in just eleven playoff games. Thomas Vanek had a difficult time adjusting, after having been acquired by Montreal at the trade deadline, but now Vanek leads the team in playoff goal-scoring (5). The Rangers' top forwards really need no introduction. Rick Nash, Martin St. Louis, and Brad Richards are seasoned veteran All-Stars. St. Louis and Richards were teammates on the 2004 Cup-winning Tampa Bay Lightning. Nash has played pretty well in these playoffs, but has yet to register a goal, though he leads the team in shot on goal, with 52. He could be ready to break out. On defense, a slight edge would have to go to Montreal. In Rd 2, P.K. Subban willed his team to victory over the Boston Bruins. There is now a noticeable maturity to his game which had been a missing ingredient in prior seasons. It looks as though Subban is not becoming just a great defenseman, but a true leader of men. For New York, Dan Girardi and Marc Staal anchor a solid corps of blueliners which collectively may be the equal of Montreal, though they have no one defenseman which is the equal of Subban. In goal, much like Subban, Carey Price has really come into his own. Price's play had been somewhat uneven in previous playoff years, but this season he has truly lived up to the billing. He will need to do it again in this series. At the opposite end of the ice, will be the virtually peerless Henrik Lundqvist. "King Henry" was almost unbeatable in Gm 7 against Philadelphia in the Rd 1, and then frustrated Pittsburgh in Gm 7 of Rd 2. Over his career, Lundqvist has never lost in a Game 7. This matchup of Red, white and blue (Montreal) vs Blue white and red (New York), may very well come down to a Game 7. If so, Hank has the credentials. This is a tough one to pick. No matter what, there will be some very happy fans in one of these two cities. The last trips to the Cup final for Montreal and New York respectively, were in 1993 and 1994, when each last captured the Cup. It looks as though the Montreal Canadiens are ready to take the next step - Montreal wins in 6 games. Series schedule - Gm1, Sat May 17/ Gm2, Mon May 19/ Gm3, Thur May 22/ Gm4, Sun May 25/ Gm5, Tues May 27/ Gm6, Thurs May 29/ Gm 7, Sat May 31
Western Conference final: Los Angeles Kings vs Chicago Blackhawks (Chicago won reg season series 3-0): This is a rematch of last year's Western conference final, which Chicago won with an OT victory in Game 5. The Blackhawks went on to win the Cup. In the 2013-14 regular season, they swept all three games vs the Kings; outscoring them by a margin of 9-4. The dynamic forwards of Chicago are what makes this team so special. Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, Patrick Sharp, and Marian Hossa will make teams pay for any little mistake made. Kane is probably the best pure puckhandler in the NHL. For the Kings, the trade deadline acquisition of Marian Gaborik has paid huge dividends. Gaborik (9 goals) currently leads the NHL in playoff goal scoring. His linemate Anze Kopitar (5 goals, 14 assists) leads the NHL in overall playoff scoring. Versatile sniper Jeff Carter normally plays right wing, but was moved to center midway through the first playoff series vs San Jose, and has been between youngsters Tyler Toffoli, and Tanner Pearson ever since. On defense, Chicago's Duncan Keith is once again a Norris trophy finalist. All do respect to Drew Doughty, but Chicago has the edge in overall blueline talent at this point, especially considering recent injuries to veteran Kings' defensemen Robyn Regehr and Willie Mitchell. In goal, Chicago's Corey Crawford has been solid, despite giving up the occasional soft goal. Crawford leads all playoff goalies in goals against avg (1.97), and save percentage (.931). On the other side, is the incomparable Jonathan Quick. Quick's overall playoff numbers are not as good, but he allowed only 5 goals over the last four games in the Rd 1 vs San Jose, and only 3 goals in the last two games in Rd 2 vs Anaheim. Though the edge in goal would have to go to Quick, Chicago simply has way too much talent, and too many pure scorers for the Kings to rely on Quick to win this series for them. To break through against the defending champs, the Kings will need to play strong overall team defense, and dominate play in the neutral zone, thus neutralizing the Blackhawks' team speed. If Chicago is allowed to freewheel, it will get ugly for the Kings. If the Blackhawks become impatient against the Kings, and start taking chances, the Kings will roll. This will be a battle of wills, and a chess match between two excellent teams with excellent coaching. In the end, it will come down to the better defensive system, and goaltending. As has been the case in this postseason - Kings win in 7 games. Series schedule - Gm1, Sun May 18/ Gm2, Wed May 21/ Gm3, Sat May 24/ Gm4, Mon May 26/ Gm 5, Wed May 28/ Gm 6, Fri May 30/ Gm 7, Sun Jun 1.

Kansas Agricultural Statistics Service reported Friday that the
corn production in the state is forecast at a record high 581
million bushels.
And the state's growers are also on track to set a record for
soybean production. About 140 million bushels are expected after
farmers planted an unprecedented number of acres this season.
Also faring extremely well is sorghum. Its forecast production
of 221.4 million bushels would not set any records, but the
expected yields for that crop of 82 bushels per acre would set a
yield record.
The bounty extends beyond Kansas. Corn production nationwide is
forecast at 13 billion bushels. If realized, it would be the second
largest corn crop in U.S. history.

The jacket is beautiful. However, the zipper doesn't work and it is on the wrong side -- women's zippers should be the same side as men's. Left hand zippers went out with the last millennium.

Comments about Women's Bainbridge Field Jacket:
This is a nice fitted jacket, but as it fits well (which is great), it is not the best for cooler weather as wearing bulky sweaters/layers beneath the jacket is not an option. The zipper and snaps are poorly constructed, so overall, this jacket is quite overpriced.

FABRICE Muamba's young son cried out as he watched the footballer collapse live on TV.
Three-year-old Joshua called out: "Mummy, daddy is frozen", when he saw the Bolton Wanderers player collapse as he suffered a cardiac arrest.
Muamba's fiancee, Shauna Magunda, aged 27, looked on helplessly as the 24-year-old midfielder lay motionless on the pitch.
Ms Magunda, told The Sun of her horror as she and Joshua watched the game on TV.
She said: "Joshua seemed to think his dad was playing. The reaction of the fans and other players told me something was seriously wrong. People were crying and chanting Fabrice's name.
"Then my phone started ringing.
Fabrice's agent got through to me and confirmed my worst fear — his heart had stopped beating."
The Whites star remained unconscious for three days following his collapse during Bolton's FA Cup quarter-final at Tottenham Hotspur on March 17.
Muamba's heart stopped beating naturally for 78 minutes during the incident, which brought the game to a standstill and led to outpourings of support afterwards Ms Magunda said doctors broke the news to her that he might be brain damaged as she held a vigil at his bedside at The London Chest Hospital.
She said: "He looked dead, like a corpse. There's no other way to describe it."
She also spoke of her relief at Muamba's recovery, which has stunned doctors.
Muamba, who is a devout Christian, was discharged from the hospital last Monday — a month to the day after he suffered the cardiac arrest.
He has been building his fitness by taking short walks with Ms Magunda, although it is not known if he will play professional football again.
Bolton manager Owen Coyle said the club would be delighted to receive a visit from the player when he felt ready.
"We'd have the banners and the bunting up," he said.

The attorney for Talisker Land Holdings, LLC, said in court, Wednesday, it wants a bond set at $123.9 million to allow Park City Mountain Resort to continue using the land it leases on the upper mountain for the 2014-15 ski season. In previous legal filings PCMR valued the bond at between $1.02 million and $6.56 million. The bond would allow PCMR to stay ob the land while it appeals the case.
It will be up to Third District Court Judge Ryan Harris to determine the amount of the bond. Harris has said, in view of the uncertainty about the ski area operations for the coming ski season, he will try to rule on the matter as soon as possible.
The courtroom at the Silver Summit Justice Center was packed on Wednesday. Audience members included City Hall and County Courthouse officials along with representatives from PCMR and various local businesses.
In the meantime, PCMR and Talisker are in mediation in hopes of crafting an agreement to settle the case. The court-mandated deadline for that agreement has been extended to Friday.

In the world of spirits there are your more well-known brands of Tequila and then there are those that you tend to miss out on just because you don't recognize the name. Today, we are going to shine a light on a rather surprisingly tasty Tequila called Casa Noble Reposado.
Casa Noble Tequila is located in Jalisco, Mexico and has a stable of fine spirits for you to choose from. The other types that we won't be able to detail today are types such as Crystal, Anejo, Single Barrel Reposado and Single Barrel Anejo. Casa Noble's history dates back to the 1700's and has a fine lineage to go with its Tequila.
Like any Reposado, Casa Noble Reposado has a airy amber coupled with that vintage shine of copper we expect to see from a Reposado. When you go in for a full breath, you will immediately be greeted with light vanilla, sensual white oak tones, the latter a product of the aging process. Additionally, we find subtle citrus hints that tend to fall on the lemon side of the spectrum.
The Casa Noble Reposado represents one of the brand's finest spirits and is aged in French White Oak Barrels for 364 days, creating an ultimate note that does not have any rocky, stressful or half-full notes. The Reposado is certainly a very smooth spirit that also carries a strong lush and full-bodied finish.
The entire foundation and platform that Casa Noble Reposado is built upon is its 364 day aging process. The French White Oak Barrels provide the genesis for the overall presentation and finish of it. With the nature of oak being a part of the aging process, we also find some subtle, yet noticeable suggestions of spicy caramel.
The Casa Noble Reposado finalizes itself with a 40% alcohol by volume, which is pretty standard for any Tequila. You can pick up a bottle of the Reposado today for $49.95.
Switching gears, if you are interested in one recipe that we recommend to go with your Casa Noble Reposado, we'd like to present to you the award-winning Supernatural Margarita. To create one of these on your own, you're going to need a bottle of Casa Noble Reposado, Lime Juice, Monin Spicy Mango Syrup, Grapefruit Bitters and Basil Leaves.
To concoct this delight yourself, you'll want to grab yourself a shaker and half fill it up with ice. Then, you'll measure into the shaker one and a half ounces of Casa Noble Reposado, three fourths of an ounce of Lime Juice, one ounce of the Spicy Mango Syrup and a couple dashes of Grapefruit Bitters.
Once you've added all of that into the shaker, you'll want to shake it up thoroughly to ensure the right balance for the blend. After you feel the contents have been shaken adequately, grab yourself a strainer and pour the contents into a low ball glass with crushed ice. To finish it off, garnish the Margarita with four to six Basil Leaves.
With National Tequila Day coming up on July 24th, you now have a fantastic way to celebrate it with you and your friends. Cheers.

A jail inmate was found dead Monday inside the Tehama County Jail.
Robert Rupe, 27 of Red Bluff, was found Monday at 6:12 p.m.. Correction officers found him hanging from a sheet. Deputies said turned his bunk up on end, using a bed sheet. He tied it to the top end of the bunk hanging himself.
Officers began CPR. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Rupe had been arrested Sunday night around 7 p.m. after police say he stole a safe from his father's home on Britt Lane. The safe contained medications and a gun.
Police say Rupe threatened his father during a phone call from the jail. Rupe later told officers where they could find the safe so his father could get his medication.
Assistant Sheriff Phil Johnson issued a news release Wednesday morning. It states when he was arrested, Rupe denied having suicidal thoughts and was cleared for incarceration. Deputies said he had not shown any type of distress during his last contact with correctional officers at 5:23 p.m. Monday.
Rupe had been served with an emergency protective order on the day of his arrest. The order provided protection for members of Rupe's family who were reportedly his victims.
Deputies and investigators from the Tehama County District Attorney conducted a joint investigation. It was learned Rupe had previously attempted suicide in 2010.
An autopsy is scheduled later this week.

State police say a 48-year-old man has died after his kayak overturned in the icy waters of the Susquehanna River in central Pennsylvania.
Troopers from the Punxsutawney barracks say the deceased man's name is Edward Heberling, Jr. He lived in Westover, Pennsylvania.
"Mr. Heberling was kayaking with a relative in Burnside Township in Clearfield Count, when his craft capsized, dumping him into the fast-moving water."
Due to the ice covering the river, Heberling could not be located in the area of the accident, according to the police.
"A command post was established on the bridge at Kantz Hill Road while the search was ongoing. Approximately 45 minutes later, Heberling was discovered approximately 100 yards downstream from his entry point."
According to the police report "Emergency personnel immediately began to administer first-aid, and Heberling was air lifted from the scene to Conemaugh Hospital. Efforts to revive Heberling continued at the hospital but were unsuccessful."
Several agencies participated in the rescues. These include "Westover Fire Dept., Cherry Tree Fire Dept., Burnside Fire Dept., Sandy Township Fire Dept., Treasure Lake Fire Rescue, Jackson Township Ice Rescue, Grampian Fire Dept., Curwensville Fire Dept., Citizens Ambulance and Mahaffey Ambulance."

Last month, the Duggar family, stars of TLC's reality show 19 Kids and Counting, announced matriarch Michelle Duggar was pregnant with her 20th child. Today now reports she has suffered a miscarriage in her second trimester.
"Earlier today at a routine doctor's appointment, Michelle and I received the sad news that we lost the baby," Jim Bob Duggar tells the news show in a statement. "We are grateful for all the thoughts and prayers, but ask for privacy during this difficult time."
The Duggars, whose 19th baby, a girl named Josie, was born prematurely two years ago, plan to find out the sex and will have a funeral, Today adds.
"The Lord is the giver of life and He can choose when that life is ready to go on and be with Him," Michelle Duggar tells People.

Oscar De Jiu-Jitsu 2 is a piece of Jiu-jitsu history. The event took place in Jiu-jitsu's hay day when the government would put on tournaments. If memory serves correctly Paqueta filmed this tournament on Copacabana Beach where the X games are now held. Paqueta has the largest collection of BJJ footage in the world. His collection is even bigger than Rafael Lavato Jr's., and Marc Laimon's. Maybe even put together. All fights were super fights and you can feel the energy on the video. The crowd was really into this one, and all the competitors were fighting their hearts out.
There are so many good stories behind the matches on this video. Names like Fabio Gurgel, Shaolin, Marcio Feitosa, Nino, Pedro Duarte, Fredson Paxiao, David Camarillo, and the famous match between Royce and Wallid, and my personal favorite Leka.
The first match is Leka Vs. Daniela Figueiredo. Pretty cool to see the women get some coverage right out of the gate. If you know me you know I consider Leka the Goddess of women's jiu-jitsu. This match could be considered her black belt debut and I am proud to have it in my library. All bias aside this was actually a good match. Good back and forth action with Leka working the De La Riva hook and pulling off some good sweeps.
Daniel Morais Vs. Pedro Brandao. I think Pedro has an academy in Tennessee. The match starts off with an early shot to omoplata then to clock choke. They come back to the feet a few times as a result of some good scrambles. Eventually ending on points.
The next notable match in order of appearance is David Camarillo Vs. Fredson Paxiao. Fredson had been undefeated for 3 years in competition. He was actually supposed to fight BJ, but BJ had to pull out due to Christmas and family commitments. Dave filled in on short notice and went all the way to Brazil to take on the undefeated Paxiao. I would like to say Dave went down there and threw this guy on his head multiple times. I can't though because he pulled guard and an upset against the Brazilian on his home turf.
Renato Miragaya Vs. Maniel Cristoph tuned out to be an interesting match historically mostly because of the path both these guys took after Jiu-jitsu. Miragaya was a brown belt at the time and undefeated for two years. He quit Jiu-jitsu to become a doctor. Does anybody know what happened with Cristoph? Miragaya exhibits great passing in this match.
Nino operated in typical dominate fashion over Pedro Duarte. This match ends in submission.
The ultimate staller Vs. the ultimate submission machine was a match between Feitosa and Shaolin.
Fabio Gurgel took on Saulo Ribeiro in this event after they battled in 1998 for 1st and 2nd place at the mundials for the pessado weight class.
And the final match on the 57 minute video is Royce Vs. Wallid. Most of us know how this match ended. I remember being a young JJ practitioner and hearing that this fight was going to take place. Because I got into the sport because of Royce and because he was on fire at the time we all knew he was going to win. The result of this fight spread like wild fire across every academy at the time. This was before the internet so we all had to wait for one to two weeks before the video copies started floating around. I remember the day the video came in. We all gathered around the TV and watched in silence as our hero fell. A Gracie lost. Unbelievable. And to a clock choke. This was the first time the "Gracie Magic" died for me. Of course anybody can get caught in a clock choke, but to watch Royce turn the wrong way to escape was shocking. On December 17, 1998 Wallid made good on one chapter of his promise to Carlson to beat the other side of the Gracie family.
The video has 13 matches that cover 57 minutes. You can tell it is old footage, but the quality is still good. By far the highest quality footage of Royce Vs. Wallid I have seen. 3 of the 13 matches end in submission. Not a very high number of submissions but for the most part there wasn't that much stalling. I think the super fight aspect eliminated some of that even though it was the era of the stall. Like I said before it was electric. All the fighters were intense and the crowd was pumped. I don't know how many people were there but it seemed like thousands.
