MARIN COUNTY -- Authorities have suspended the search for a Menlo Park woman reported missing on Mount Tamalpais, while also ruling out potential LinkedIn activity since her disappearance.
As the search progressed Sunday afternoon on Mount Tamalpais, Marin County Sheriff's investigators worked off-site with LinkedIn officials to determine whether 33-year-old software developer Magdalena Glinkowski had been active on her profile. One of her 90 contacts on the social networking site reported a change to her work experience Sunday morning, and said it had occurred since she went missing March 30.
LinkedIn officials responded to sheriff's inquiries "within minutes," and they worked together Sunday afternoon to track the woman's online activity, Lt. Jeff Pittman said. By the end of the day, officials concluded that she had not logged on since the week before she went missing.
Her social media trail went cold just as the trails of Mount Tamalpais did, Pittman said. The search, which enlisted over 250 volunteers, eight to 10 search dogs and expansive use of rescue helicopters, was suspended Sunday evening.
"We have just covered that whole mountain -- we've been on every trail, and have not gleaned any new clues or evidence," Pittman said. "We feel that we have reached a point where we've exhausted all of our probabilities of where to be searching right now."
Pittman added that while the search is postponed in the physical sense, sheriff's officials are still actively investigating the woman's disappearance. They will continue to collect leads regarding where Glinkowski may have headed on the mountain, and probe the possibility that she may be somewhere else.
According to Pittman, the rainy weather in the days surrounding Glinkowski's disappearance was "not favorable" for the search dogs attempting to sniff out her scent. They were unable to effectively track the woman from her car, which remains in its parking spot near where she was last seen.
The 5-foot-7, 120-pound woman was captured on video surveillance in a parking lot known as Bootjack near the Pantoll Campground, wearing a bright pink pullover top, light blue shorts and white and black running shoes. The recently unemployed MIT graduate was only reported missing Friday after park rangers found her car in the lot, five days after she paid for a one-day ticket to park.
Investigators went on to discover that the woman renewed the rental on her white, four-door car during the first week of every month, and that the rental car company had been surprised when she failed to do so in April. Glinkowski, who lives alone and was described as "a recluse" by various acquaintances, also left her landlord a note March 30 stating that she was going hiking but never returned to the property.
Authorities found an assortment of unusual clues during a search of her home and car, including surprisingly little computer equipment for a person continuously employed as a software developer. Investigators were unable to locate a single desktop or laptop computer anywhere, but did find all of her personal effects in her car -- her driver's license, credit cards and a smartphone equipped with few applications.
Anyone with information about the disappearance of Magdalena Glinkowski is urged to contact the Marin County Sheriff's Investigations Unit at415-473-7265.

Today in History: July 29
In A League of His Own

Don Carter, one of the greatest professional bowlers of all time, was born in St. Louis, Missouri, on July 29, 1926. A childhood job as a pinsetter gave Carter his start. Practicing on a lane that he constructed in his basement, Carter perfected his game and joined the St. Louis Budweiser team. In 1953, he received the first of six "bowler of the year" designations. He dominated the sport during its heyday.
Carter set bowling firsts. In 1961 he was the first person to win bowling's Grand Slam: the All-Star tournament, the World's Invitational, the Professional Bowlers' Association (PBA) National Championship, and the American Bowling Congress (ABC) Masters tournament. He also was the first athlete to sign a $1 million promotional contract, the first bowler to have a PBA tournament named for him, and the first bowler selected for the Madison Square Garden Hall of Fame.
Since ancient times, people have rolled balls at pins for sport. An Egyptian child's tomb, dating to 3,200 B.C., contained bowling balls and pins. Various forms of bowling have been popular in America since colonial times—English, Dutch, and German settlers all imported their own variations of bowling. By the 1870s, competitive bowling between clubs was common in big cities such as New York, Chicago, and Milwaukee. Tenpin bowling dominated the sport, but without official rules and equipment standards the game flourished only at the local level.

Bowling organizations were formed in the United States beginning in the late nineteenth century. On September 9, 1895, the American Bowling Congress (ABC) was organized in New York City. The ABC held its first national tournament in 1901. The Women's International Bowling Congress (WIBC), first established in 1916 as the Ladies National Bowling Association, then named the Women's National Bowling Association, began championship games the following year. The United States Bowling Congress was founded in 2005 with the merger of the American Bowling Congress, Women's International Bowling Congress, Young American Bowling Alliance, and USA Bowling.

Important technological advances in the sport included the introduction of the hard rubber ball in 1905 and the development of automatic pinspotting machines in the early 1950s. A sign of growing prosperity and leisure in postwar America, the game became increasingly popular in the 1950s and 1960s—in bowling alleys and on television.
Today, an estimated 70 million people bowl at least once a year in the United States. Many people bowl in leagues composed of eight to twelve teams, but leagues can be as large as forty teams depending on the size of the local alley. Although tenpin games continue to prevail, bowlers loyal to duckpins are active through the National Duckpin Bowling Congress, founded in 1927.
Don Carter and others founded the Professional Bowlers Association of America in 1958; Carter served as the first president. In the early twenty-first century the PBA had nearly 4,300 members representing thirteen countries. Annual tournament prize money is now more than $9 million; in the 1970s prize money was approximately $1 million.

The Harris Treaty
Japan, 1996,
Map Collections
On July 29, 1858, the United States and Japan signed the Treaty of Amity and Commerce (the Harris Treaty). Townsend Harris, the first U.S. diplomatic representative to Japan, negotiated the arrangement, which became effective July 4, 1859. A New York merchant with experience in Asia, Townsend was appointed consul general to Japan in August 1856 and began his assignment shortly thereafter. Harris was not welcomed and was ignored by the Japanese authorities for more than a year. He operated in diplomatic isolation out of the Gyokusenji Buddhist temple in Shimoda.
In 1857 the Japanese government approved Harris' move to Edo (Tokyo); he used the Zenfukuji Temple in Azabu as the U.S. legation. His negotiations with the Tokugawa regime were aided by concessions that the British had already wrought in China. Harris convinced the Japanese that a voluntary treaty with the United States was more advantageous than a forced treaty with the Europeans.
Harris is credited with opening the Japanese Empire to foreign trade and culture. In addition to Shimoda and Hokadote, which already traded with the U.S., the Harris Treaty opened new ports to U.S. trade; granted U.S. citizens extraterritorial rights (exempting them from the jurisdiction of Japanese law); and permitted Americans their religious freedom. The tariff rates attached to the treaty favored the United States over Japan, but the treaty provided an opportunity to renegotiate in 1872. The Japanese Government also was allowed to "…purchase or construct in the United States ship-of-war, steamers, merchant ships, whale ships, cannot, munitions of war, and arms of all kinds … [as well as] to engage in the United States scientific, naval, and military men, artisans of all kind, and mariners to enter into its service…"
The Harris Treaty made reciprocal diplomatic representation possible. In 1860, a delegation of more than seventy Japanese traveled to the United States. Congress appropriated $50,000 for the visitors, who spent seven weeks touring the United States. Another trip was made twelve years later when, in accordance with the Harris Treaty, the Japanese attempted to gain concessions from the U.S. These visits are credited with helping to dispel cultural stereotypes and furthering diplomatic ties between the two countries.

Before his appointment to Japan, Harris participated in community affairs in New York City. He was a volunteer firefighter and active in the Democratic Party. He served as president of the New York City Board of Education from 1846-48. In 1847 Harris founded the Free Academy, which became The City College of New York (CCNY). CCNY was founded to provide children of the poor and new immigrants with access to public higher education. CCNY enjoys a special relationship with Japan. Since 1986 city officials from Shimoda have visited CCNY annually and viewed Harris' memorabilia. Harris is buried in Brooklyn's Greenwood Cemetery where the Japanese people gifted a refurbished gravesite to the college.

In the past quarter century, Mark Robson, president of Robson Homes in San Jose, has built 1,500 homes in the South Bay, one of which won an important design award last week.
Robson says he has "many philosophies" regarding building design. One of them focuses on the communal aspect of architecture to create attractive environments that are bikeable and walkable, with paths and plazas where people can interact easily.
He spoke with this newspaper about his design philosophy and the housing market in general, especially how to meet the voracious demand for housing in an area exploding with growth and new jobs.
Q: What trends do you see in housing in the Bay Area and Silicon Valley?
A: Buyer sophistication is growing and the demand for higher quality is increasing. That's the single biggest trend. I think we're going to see an emphasis on good design and greater densities. We need to know how we are going to meet the housing demand that we're creating with these jobs. That's a challenge. We need to support a continuation of mass transit development, and I think builders are on board with it.
Q: Aren't rising home prices shutting out more and more would-be buyers?
A: We're trying to build homes at a price people can afford. We think there are good solutions to provide great homes that are smaller. An example is one of ours in Campbell with 65 townhouses under $1 million. It has a modernist design plan, inspired by Irving Gill, a turn-of-the-century 20th-century modernist. Next to it is a mixed use development, where we've got 43 apartments and 11,000 square feet of retail centered on a community plaza. It's going to be a great meeting place where people can gather.
Q: Will builders be able to satisfy the demand for homes? Buildable land is in short supply in many parts of the Bay Area.
A: I think we will. The entitlement process takes time, but I think the demand will be met. There's going to have to be a willingness on the part of community leadership to convert land to residential use and also a willingness to be open-minded to new housing solutions. I think there will be with time. As construction activity increases, it's easy to get a "nimby" mentality and want it to stop. But we need to move forward and do the kinds of things our parents did when they provided infrastructure for schools and roads. We live in an area of really smart people and I think you're going to see some great solutions come out of this area.
Q: Your company won a prize recently for a project in Los Gatos. What was it for?
A: We won a couple of Gold Nugget awards, which is an award in the design contest held by the Pacific Coast Builders Conference, probably the most competitive design award contest in the country. We won for one of the plans we built at Laurel Mews in Los Gatos, which was ultimately selected as the Home of the Year. It was for smart design, smart density and building homes that relate well to the community but are also consistent with the needs and demands and desires of modern living. It's on the former South Bay Honda site.
Q: How do you turn a car dealership into a neighborhood?
A: It was a really challenging assignment. Los Gatos Boulevard used to be the main highway, and it's a big wide street. We handled that by the use of good architectural elements like traditional porches, good landscape treatment with street trees, and the layering of landscape on Los Gatos Boulevard. As the landscaping matures, it's going to really complement the boulevard. A street also bisected the property. To give the street character and make it special, we used old cobbles for it, former ship ballast that originally came out of a Pennsylvania street. Hence the word "mews." Google "mews," and you get some images of cute little streets in England where the door drops right out on the street.
Q: Mews in Silicon Valley?
A: Silicon Valley is not unlike mid-19th-century London. You're seeing the organization of a community that is figuring out how to address an urbanizing community. The mews were London's answer. We borrowed that idea. It's not just creating a street, but turning a street into a place where people can move and meet and greet.
Q: Do you have a philosophy that guides your design and building work?
A: We have lots of philosophies. Relative to construction design, we think design is important to our customers and is also important to the larger community. We take a long-term view, that we're not just building houses but building neighborhoods.

Kale and Cannellini Bean Soup
With all that in mind, you'll forgive me for posting this diet recipe please. I made it for the first time a month or so ago and liked it so well that I wrote it down so I could make it again. Yesterday I bought some kale and cleaned out my veggie drawers (not my vegan panties; my other veggie drawers) and made this soup a second time. I decided to blog about it so I would have the recipe at my fingertips whenever I wanted to give it another go round.
For all of you who are new to kale, you're not alone. Until I made this soup the first time, I hadn't tried it either. It's so full of fiber and nutrients it'll grow knots on your knuckles and bunions on your behind if you eat it too often, so be aware of that fact and also remember that I lie often. Additionally, there is a fair amount of beans in this recipe so......forewarned is forearmed. (In other words, stock up on toilet tissue, if that's not TMI)
Regarding the preparation of the kale, the tough stems need to be removed before using. Just tear or cut them out before chopping the kale into bite-size pieces.
Mag's Pound Droppin' Kale and Cannillini Bean Soup
2 TBSP olive oil
3 leeks, white and light green parts only, chopped first then rinsed well to remove dirt and grit
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
2 carrots, diced
salt and pepper
pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
1 bay leaf
1/2 tsp dried thyme
2 quarts chicken broth
3 cans (15.5 ounce each) cannellini beans, drained and rinsed, DIVIDED
12-16 ounces of kale, thick veins and stems removed, chopped
In large soup pot heat oil over medium heat. Add the leeks, bell pepper and carrots. Season with salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, bay leaf and thyme. Saute for 5-7 minutes. Add the broth and bring soup to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until veggies are tender.
Place TWO of the cans of cannellini beans in a blender or food processor. Add a cup of liquid from the soup pot and puree the beans. Add the puree back to the soup pot and then stir in the remaining can of beans. Add the kale. It will seem like a lot, but it reduces quickly. Simmer for 10-15 additional minutes.
Remove bay leaf before serving.

"bunions on your behind"....LMAO. Where do you get these things? Now seriously, this looks like a plum delicious soup and I'll be trying it asap. There will be some people who absolutely won't believe I could make something without heavy cream, cheese or hot sauce in it, but this'll be a first. LOL

I am a closet kaleaholic, and love it in soup, as a salad, under eggs, etc. Throw in some browned and drained chunks of Spanish chorizo sausage along with a sprig of fresh rosemary for a tweak of your soup recipe; it could make you swoon.

How did you know I've been craving soup & was trying to work up the energy to make some? Never tried Kale before, (always suspected it'd taste like alfalfa), but for you I will.
If I can fight off the urge to make fresh bread & a non-diet salad to go with it.. even better.
Enjoy your day!

Oh, I can so relate! After surgery earlier this year, and having 6-8 weeks of sitting on the couch (munching on snacks), I packed on quite a few pounds myself. I've been gradually trying to lose a few and get back to eating healthier. This soup is a fabulous place to start. I love kale in soups!

EMA approves BF-200 ALA
Leverkusen – One short statement from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) means one giant step for German biotech company Biofrontera. The agency issued a favourable opinion on the firm's marketing approval application for its drug for the treatment of actinic keratosis. There was no recommendation for a restriction or temporal limitation of the approval. The substance, which Biofrontera had dubbed BF-200 ALA while in development, will now be marketed under the name Ameluz. The positive assessment report by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) will now be forwarded to the European Commission for the formal conclusion of the process. Biofrontera anticipates final approval in December. After that, Ameluz can be commercialised in all 27 countries of the EU as well as Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein, the company stated. Biofrontera began the application process in September of 2010.

A survey of almost 1,891 physicians across the country finds that for some doctors, honesty is not always the best policy.
Approximately one third of participating physicians reported they did not completely agree that they should disclose medical errors to patients (20% of whom admitting they were afraid of being sued for malpractice). TIME Healthland reports that 40 percent felt they did not need to disclose financial ties to drug or device companies.
In the past year, 55 percent of doctors said they had been more positive about a patient's prognosis than warranted. Ten percent reported telling patients something that was not true.
Dr. Lisa Lezzioni, a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and the study's lead author says:
"The finding that 55 percent had described a prognosis in a more positive manner than was warranted is pretty significant…They may not want to worry patients, or there may be cultural reasons why it feels inappropriate."
According to The Huffington Post, the study notes that not enough training, insecurity over the accuracy of a prognosis, and lack of time may also play a role.
This study is published in the journal Health Affairs.

I am working with the Sony KDL-46EX501 TV. I am having issues with video stuttering, for some reason .mp4 doesn't work on this TV despite what I read here, but .mpg MPEG 1 works fine, but some videos do not play smoothly.
I am wondering how can I configure PMS to not encode/transcode anything, because I want to prepare the videos myself? Basically how can I set this up to have 720p or 1080p vidoes play on the TV through the network and the server is used as nothing much than a file server. All the other DLNA servers, only PMS was seen by the TV.

Bad-ass vigilantes have a new hero today. Her name is Sonya Yu. She spends her days taking pictures of food and also criminals—OUT—with unconventional weaponry.
SFGate writes that, for the past few months, Yu's San Francisco neighborhood has been plagued by a rampant package thief, who removed over $1,000 worth of goods from her porch earlier this fall.
So, on Tuesday, Yu did what any of us would: assembled a self-defense kit composed of bear spray and a Japanese wooden sword traditionally used to train Samurai warriors (a "bokken"), and set out a package for "bait."
Then she sat on her porch and started to write her wedding vows, as one does.
Then this happened:
Yep, she got him.
Yu bear-sprayed the perp from her first-floor balcony then chased him down the street with a sword. Yu didn't catch him herself but remarked on Twitter that, in addition to coloring him orange, the bear spray slowed him down enough so that police were able to apprehend him within five minutes.
Yu's fiancé initially uploaded security footage to YouTube that showed her sprinting onto the sidewalk, bokken in hand, but he removed the video after press started swarming the couple's house. Classic Batman tactics Sonya Yu. Stick to the shadows.
The man Yu chased, 51-year-old Andy Anduha, was booked into the county jail on suspicion of attempted burglary. He is scheduled to be arraigned on one count of first-degree residential burglary, and, if convicted, faces a sentence of up to six years.
But the best thing to come out of all this (aside from the fact that a criminal has been apprehended) is this tweet from you:
Is that bear spray stinging my eyes, like tears shed in rapture?
Or is it justice?

STOCKTON - A Galt man who is accused of causing a Saturday crash that led to a fuel truck being incinerated will be charged with vehicular manslaughter after the tanker's driver was pronounced dead, the California Highway Patrol said.
The tanker driver, a 43-year-old Modesto man, was declared dead at the University of California, Davis, Medical Center in Sacramento over the weekend. The Sacramento County Coroner's Office did not release his identity on Tuesday pending notification of his family.
CHP spokesman Officer James Smith said Jaime Portillo, 29, of Galt will be arrested for vehicular manslaughter because of negligent driving.
Portillo had been driving on Mariposa Road just east of Dodd Road in unincorporated San Joaquin County at 1:30 p.m. Saturday when he made an unsafe turning movement, according to the CHP.
The collision caused Portillo to collide with the tanker and another car driven by a Ripon man, officers said. The 8,000-gallon fuel tank of the big rig ruptured, and gas burned as the tanker continued east before coming to a rest on the south shoulder of East Mariposa Road.
The tanker was incinerated, and the driver was badly burned despite bystanders pulling him from the cab. Portillo suffered minor injuries. The Ripon man was not injured.

I've never met a person on this planet that doesn't enjoy that fine piece of culinary brilliance created by our neighbors to the south - the taco.
Even standard tacos with little to no imagination are generally delicious. Tortilla, meat, cheese, lettuce and salsa and voila - a practically flawless food that you can eat with your hands, which makes it even better.
Kevin Morrison, of Pinche Tacos in Denver (the English translation isn't fit to print, so Google it), however, has taken the taco and made it a gourmet concoction of foodie bliss - as in blow your mind good, like rave about it good and post obnoxious close-up taco pictures on Facebook just to brag to your friends that nothing they're eating is as good as what you're eating.
Yes, I'm that excited about a taco, and it's all thanks to this fairly new little gem (it opened last Halloween) off Colfax and York Streets that I found while researching new foodie spots to try in the city. There's also a Pinche Taco food truck, and a new deal for a second permanent location in the Highlands, at 3300 W. 32 Avenue, was just announced.
When I stumbled across it on a list of the 10 best tacos in America, on epicurious.com, I became intrigued.
There it was again as a "best new restaurant" in both 5280 and the Denver Westword, yet none of my foodie friends had ever heard of the place when I asked them about it (except for my ultra-critical friend Kati who has eaten just about everywhere in Denver, and even she approves of this place.)
At Pinche Tacos (the Taqueria politically correct name is Tacos Tequila Whiskey, which is the name you can see from the street since the city wouldn't allow the establishment to put "Pinche Tacos" on their outdoor sign) they're taking ingredients like pork belly and scallops and turning them into some of the most spectacular Mexican street food around - all for about $3-$4.50 a pop.
At that price, you'd expect a couple of slivers of meat, but no - they're loading it on so thick you need two corn tortillas to hold it all up. And they're also not skimping on the salsas and sauces, and certainly not the guacamole.
Pinche good
When I went on a recent Tuesday afternoon with my boyfriend in his massive Dodge diesel pickup, we initially couldn't find a place to park the beast so he dropped me off to run in and get a few tacos to go. I sat at the bar and was immediately saddened while reading the menu because I had to choose only a few (tacos don't typically hold up so good when taken to-go).
I tried to control my urge to order everything on the menu (there are 11 taco options and a few appetizers). I picked four, but moments before the order was ready Ryan walked in after having found a big enough parking space. I was overjoyed.
"Can I please have the menu again," I asked the bartender.
Our first round arrived seconds later - five beautiful tacos on a plate that looked more like a work of art.
The pork belly "agridulce," with a generous hunk of sweet and sour-braised pork belly, a candied garlic clove, cabbage and cilantro slaw and braising jus served on the side, was out of control good.
I took one bite and looked at Ryan in amazement.
"Are you kidding me," I said, dumbfounded by its perfection - it was pinche good.
On to the pescado taco next, which is made with a luscious piece of chipotle and beer battered fish, slaw, avocado and pineapple guacamole, topped off with beautiful pickled red onions and lime. It had everything you want in a taco - fresh flavors and texture.
Then we tried the shrimp and scallop "xnic-pec," a taco with Yucatan pico de gallo, avocado cream and lime. And the carnitas taco was next - oh, the carnitas taco, filled with succulent pork roasted to a crisp served with pickled red onions and avocado cream.
A mandatory food stop
For any normal eater, this order would have sufficed, but being that it was all so good and we're not in Denver that often, we ordered more.
The lengua taco turned out to be a standout, too, with its triple-cooked Colorado beef tongue with avocado, diced onion and cilantro, roasted tomatillo salsa, guajillo honey mayonnaise. Beef tongue can often be tough, but not here - this stuff was so tender and soft that you could almost go without even chewing it.
The pollo a la crema and the asada were fantastic, too - but at this point we had already eaten too much. It didn't stop us from ordering the chorizo sliders on the happy hour menu, though, called Sloppy "Jose's." Think Sloppy Joe slider but with spicy chorizo sausage. Genius.
And as we sat near the open kitchen and watched the cooks pour fresh batter into the fryer that they later turned into plates of crispy churros, we had to order those, too.
Served with a rich cinnamon chocolate sauce on the side, these Mexican-style donuts were the perfect way to end the meal. Needless to say, Pinche Tacos just made it to the top of my list of mandatory food stops in Denver. Oh yeah - and the margaritas are phenomenal, too.

For a third year, Teresa Bradley of Braintree and Krista Warner of Randolph have organized a bowling tournament at Valley Bowl to support Gifford Medical Center's Woman to Woman fund.
Held each year on the fourth Sunday in October, the Ruth Brown Memorial Breast Cancer Awareness Tournament raised $1,485 and attracted 32 bowlers. The winning bowler was Shawn Corbett of Rochester. The top fund-raiser was Barre's Diana Flood. Also recognized were Bob's M&M, Patrick's Place and Valley Bowl, all of Randolph, for donating the top three prizes at each annual tournament.
The tournament, which started in 2010 as Warner's high school senior project, is named in memory of Bradley's mother and Warner's grandmother, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1993 following a mammogram. She beat the disease but later developed lung cancer, passing away in Gifford's Garden Room last year. For Warner and Bradley, the tournament is a way to keep her memory alive and support a cause about which they feel strongly.
Gifford's Woman to Woman fund helps provide mammograms to low-income women and funds soft pads placed on the mammography machine to make essential mammograms more comfortable for all.

Black ratsnake
Rat snakes are passive and prefer to avoid confrontation. If confronted by danger they will most likely freeze rather than strike. Rat snakes attempt to scare off predators by coiling their bodies and vibrating their tails in dead leaves to simulate a rattlesnake. If this noise is not enough of a deterrent they produce a foul-smelling musk that they release on a predator if they are caught.
In the wild, black rat snakes enjoy a variable diet that includes birds and small rodents. This prey is killed by constriction that cuts off the blood flow to its organs. The prey is then swallowed headfirst as the snake inches its teeth forward one jaw at a time.
Female black rat snakes lay between 12 and 20 eggs at a time about five weeks after mating. The eggs are hidden under leaves or in hollow logs until they hatch two to three months later. Females can produce two clutches of eggs in one year.
Range: eastern United States
Habitat: forests, rocky hillsides, farmland

DENVER - Colorado marijuana regulators can't decide whether future pot sellers should be required to grow most of the weed they sell.
A task force set up to consider regulating Colorado's new legal marijuana law was divided on the question Tuesday. Task force members couldn't agree whether future pot shops should look like liquor stores, which don't produce the booze they sell. Colorado's existing medical marijuana industry requires sellers to grow the majority of their product, a requirement aimed at preventing pot from ending up on the black market.
The so-called "integration" question is a big one for Colorado's marijuana regulators because it will determine how pot is grown and sold. The task force Tuesday put off the question but still plans make a decision by the end of the month.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Tuesday, May 1, 2012
MILNER, Ga. -- Every 19 seconds, the FBI estimates someone is arrested for a drug crime. About a third are women, and chances are good that once they're released, they'll end up behind bars again. This life is destroying lives and families, but now there might be some hope coming to our area.
It's called the Potter's House. For years, it's been quietly saving lives two and a half hours away, but soon, it could open its doors here.
Ryan, 25, had all but given up on life before she got to the Potter's House, "like maybe my heart was like a clay pot that had been busted. And shattered. And it just seems like every day another piece gets put back together."
Ryan started falling apart before she was even in high school.
"When I was about 13, I started smoking weed, because you know, peer pressure. That's what a lot of kids are trying these days. And they say weed is like a gateway drug, and it is."
It introduced her to other drugs, but it also numbed the pain of her past, starting with her mother.
"I never knew nothing about her, didn't know her name. Didn't know anything," she said.
All Ryan knows is she was a prostitute who took off when Ryan was only 1 year old.
Then came the abuse.
Ryan says she was sexually molested until the time she was 7 years old. She says she remembers everything. She also claims a guy she dated when she was 16 beat her.
Tears stream down her face as she admits, "I allowed that to happen because I felt like I wasn't worth more than that."
As he hit her, she was thinking about her next drug hit. She needed to numb the pain.
"I just kind of gave up. I kind of said, well, I felt like nobody ever cared," she said.
That night, Ryan lit a candle, went to her grandfather's grave and surrendered.
"And I said, Papa, tonight, I'm fighting this battle, and I said you were a veteran of war and honored by many, and I'm fighting this battle tonight."
And the next day, Mrs. Cherrie called me from the Potter's House."
Ryan immediately moved into the home for women. She didn't know any of the other 15 women there, but she found an old friend in her bible. Cherrie Burdeshaw, who quietly started the Potter's House in 2000, says it's a Christian discipleship program. She got the idea from doing ministry work in jails where she saw the same faces again and again behind bars.
"I thought, wow. I wish I had a house. If I could just have a house and keep them in this house and take them to church, they'd be fine," she said.
So she bought one. Only the house wasn't the answer. What happened inside was.
Over the years, this former second grade teacher created her own seven-month program. Room, board and everything else is essentially free. The program doesn't just get women sober -- it gets to the heart of why they started using in the first place. It renews their relationship with God, and the transformation is incredible.
You get your picture taken your second day at the Potter's House. About four or five months later, you get a photo shoot. The before and after pictures tell each women's story better than words ever could.
Ryan knows it's more than just appearances.
Meredith: "What do you think your physical change has been?"
Ryan: "I have no idea. All I know is what is changing inside and that's what counts to me."
She hasn't had her photo shoot yet, but already, she feels different. She's taking pride in herself again and has confidence. She's healed, and so have some of her strained relationships, including trouble with her father.
Meredith: "You've forgiven your dad, which is huge."
Ryan: "Yes. Huge."
Meredith: "But have you forgiven yourself?"
Ryan: "Yes. I couldn't have changed anything."
But the Potter's House changed everything.
Some local leaders believe having a Potter's House here could change Augusta.
"A program that's long term that would eventually reunite mothers with their children is just amazing," said Jennifer McKinzie, a juvenile court judge in the Augusta Judicial Circuit.
She's seen firsthand how drug addiction affects families.
"Seven months is the key. Most of the programs that we could offer are 30-day programs. I don't think that does the trick," she said.
Neither does Judge James Blanchard.
"We think it would change lives and would offer hope where there is no hope," he said.
For years, it already has in Milner. Now, local leaders hope it can do the same here.
As for Ryan, she says it would be "awesome" if a Potter's House could open here. After her graduation, which is just a couple of months away, she says she's going to focus on helping other women who've been through the same thing.
She always thought she was alone. She isn't.
And she's got a whole house of women cheering her on. Tomorrow, we'll meet one of them. She's working to get her kids back after DFCS took them away.

Campus Recycle was founded in the 1990's. Willamette University started with academic offices and expanded to residential buildings. Essentially, there was no dedicated equipment, very few recycling sites on campus, and very few commodities accepted. Today we accept all commodities that are accepted through the Oregon Transfer Station. Please see Acceptable and Unacceptable Materials for Recycling.
Trash Removal Services have existed as long as Willamette University. However, the process in which solid waste is removed has changed drastically. Only a few short years ago, all trash on campus was hauled off campus with city trash trucks, the trucks picked up and emptying each dumpster on a standard schedule, thus resulting in overflowing dumpsters and extra costs at times. Today, trash is collected from buildings much more efficiently using our own compactor, and small dumpsters emptied with a small easy to maneuver Taylor Truck. The dumpsters can be dumped any time day or night.

Many agree the FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check System needs expansion and improvement, as some states and federal agencies still don't provide adequate mental health and drug abuse records.
California is among 29 states with laws requiring such records be shared with NICS. Mayors Against Illegal Guns -- a national coalition of more than 700 mayors, including 21 in the Bay Area -- reported in August that the Golden State had submitted almost 511,000 such records, by far the most of any state.
But the group also found 21 states and the District of Columbia had reported fewer than 100 records each.
"The system can't save lives if states don't hold up their end of the bargain," New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who co-leads the coalition, said in August. "The system is broken. Every missing record is a tragedy waiting to happen, and it's time for Washington to compel all states to submit the records that are necessary to make the system work. Our public safety depends on it."
Some efforts are afoot to address this.
President Barack Obama
The president this month issued a memo and executive orders:

2010 was a challenging year. Made me focus on more important things and get people around me that I need to lift me up. Lost my full time gig so, I ended up working part-time and getting back into school for a grad degree. Dealt with about 4 women like dating changed with the seasons, LOL. But I have to say itsprompted me in a better position to work on my next official solo record with some notable production and guests on it. And also, a collabo record or two in the midst. I'm hoping to make 2011 better for myself. With a 3.5 GPA and upcoming shows opening up for Das Racist and Joell Ortiz in Jan., I feel like things are getting off to a good start. If I can finally get to Amsterdam, I'll feel even better.
And I have to say to you, Sage, if you didn't see this on your FB.....thanks again for allowing me to sell my product in your store. That was one of my best moments in 2010 musically and personally.

2010 was a rollercoaster for just about everyone I know. Great joys met with equal sadness. Sssssssooooo long ssssspleeeeeeen.
Have a great journey in South Africa. Can't wait to hear about your experiences there, I sure it will be completely life altering to say the least.
On a lighter note. I like those glasses on you.

The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi women's tennis team will open Southland Conference play on Saturday afternoon in a 2 p.m. match against Central Arkansas. Due to the travel distance, the two teams will meet in Dallas at a neutral site.
The Islanders come into the match at 1-1 after defeating Prairie View A&M on the road to open the year, before falling to then-No. 70 Rice in the first-ever dual match at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center. The UCA Bears are also 1-1 after opening the year with a win at home against Louisiana Tech, then losing to Arkansas – Little Rock on the road.
It will be the Southland opener for each team, with the Islanders coming in after a fourth-place finish in the league. UCA will be looking to improve upon a 12th-place finish a year ago.
After the match against the Bears, the team will return home for a Feb. 10, doubleheader against St. Mary's (TX) at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center.

The oil boom keeps moving east.
The northeastern North Dakota city of Grand Forks has created a new website as part of a campaign to recruit oil patch companies to the region.
City officials say three companies have announced expansion plans into the region to meet growing demands from the oil industry for their products. One company, Steffes Corp., is expanding its Dickinson plant to Grand Forks.
Grand Forks Mayor Michael Brown says the city believes it can help companies who are looking for space to expand.
The site is accessthebakken.com.

Setting Social Media Limits for Children (Family Coach)
Catherine Pearlman is a social worker who also works as an assistant professor at the College of New Rochelle. She's the founder of The Family Coach, a business that specializes in helping families resolve everyday problems. She blogs on parenting at www.thefamilycoach.com, and Tweets at @thefamilycoach. She gets letters, tweets and emails all the time from people looking for answers to family issues. In this column, she answers her mail. The letters have been edited.
Dear Family Coach,
I recently caught my daughter messaging a friend on Facebook at 1 in the morning. I have told her that she isn't allowed to use the computer at night but it seems like a losing battle. How can I set limits and trust that she will follow them even after I go to sleep.
Signed – Limitless Dad
Dear Limitless Dad,
Kids, especially teens, are connected to their social world nearly 15 hours per day. After around 8pm, I promise you, nothing good comes from that connection. Kids gossip, rehash old fights and get into new ones, flirt, bully, and even sext late into the night. Setting limits and sticking to them will save your child from future troubles by not participating in that late-night drama. While he/she will fight you every step of the way, this fight is worth the effort.
Although you daughter is pretty sneaky, you can outsmart her. Your child will not be able to Facebook, text or Tweet if she doesn't have technology in her room. Accepting her promise not to do it again won't cut the mustard. She simply will not be able to help herself when she sees the message pop up.
Most kids have at least two or three electronic communicating devices in their room or at their disposal. Begin by taking out of the room all computers, cell phones, iPads, iPod touch, Kindle Fire, … The list goes on and on. Parents often argue against this rule by saying their child needs a computer for homework and they need a kindle for reading before bed. If a child must have a computer in his/her room, make it a laptop or take the keyboard before bed. If your daughter needs to read, put parent controls on the use of the Internet from 8pm until 8am.
Parenting is a constant battle but I wouldn't give up the fight just yet. You can win this one.

This case was very troubling and we as a community really need to look at diagnosis and an individual's mental health history before attributing behavior of any type to violence acts based on disability.
This student had a troubled history, may not have received the supports he needed, and this incident should be addressed for what it is. When we make blanket statements about what may have developed an individuals frame of mind for intent or why such incidents may occur, we are not really doing that individual justice, nor others living with that disability.
Please also join this FB page to obtain resources and discuss such cases.

Unfortunately, it is not uncommon that we hear about behaviors that may escalade to serious injury to the individual, those around them, or even their family members, but now to hear about murder. The bottom line is, individuals with disabilities that exhibit behaviors need to be provided with a support system. They need to be trained on how to act appropriately, how to socialize, and they need to learn coping skills. Not only does the individual with a disability need to be taught socially acceptable behaviors, but their educators need to be properly trained, their families need to be properly trained, and their typically developing peers need to learn about acceptance. These concerns are not going to magically disappear, it is going to take time, knowledge, special training and it needs to start now.

I have never really thought about how children with Autism would feel growing up, but this has video has taught me that people can be bullied to the point where they feel lonely and ostracized. Also it has come to my attention that maybe people just need to be more sensitive and have more patience.
