A story about the memorial service for Weihan "David" Wang incorrectly reported the living arrangement of three victims in the Isla Vista mass murder. Wang and James Hong were roommates in the apartment. George Chen of San Jose was visiting.
FREMONT -- Their son and only child was everything to them, the grieving parents said Sunday afternoon. And when he died they died too, only to be resurrected by their faith, family and friends.
"You see, we are dead ourselves. Time does not exist," Charlie Wang said to a few hundred people who had gathered at Harbor Light Church to remember his late son, Weihan "David" Wang. After a pause, the mourning father added, "I don't think our son would want us to succumb to this."
Late last month, a young, disturbed man armed with knives and handguns, killed six students from the University of California at Santa Barbara and wounded several more.
One of the fatal victims was Wang's 20-year-old son, David, who died in the apartment he shared with the killer and another Bay Area victim, Cheng Yuan "James" Hong of San Jose. Also killed in the apartment was George Chen of San Jose, who was visiting that night.
As mourners filed into the spacious, modern sanctuary of the Assemblies of God church, many of them stopped by a table in front to see old photographs of the Wangs together, a basketball David brought to the church's school every day and a picture book he wrote in Spanish about his parents and relatives. Then, they took their seats in silence before the sounds of "Amazing Grace" from the church's school jazz band filled the sanctuary.
Wang's mother, Jinshuang "Jane" Liu, stepped up to the podium and spoke without a script. Soon after the names of her son and the two other Bay Area victims were released, Liu appeared in one TV news report stunned and distraught.
On Sunday, wearing business suits and their dark hair shining under the sanctuary's spotlights, she and her husband delivered brave, eloquent eulogies about their son and described the bottomless grief and the long road they face before them.
"The hardest thing for me is to be alive," Liu said in English, her second language, and then addressed the audience. "I prayed and asked God, "Why did this happen to me?'" She then delivered her eulogy as a letter to her son, drawing on the small, intimate anecdotes that parents remember in minute details.
As a boy, her son gave away some of his toys to children who had few or none at all. He helped his parents care for his grandmother and never complained. He was a straight-A student who played too many video games, but he never let the games get in the way of study and family time.
Because the family migrated from China to Canada and then here, the boy didn't have many friends to play with. So his father bought him a basketball to pass the time and the sport became a passion. Another was computer science.
Liu then summed up her quiet son: "You don't like fame. You don't like attention ... You have faith, patience, gentleness, self-control."
Her husband followed her on the stage and told the audience how close his wife had come to completely losing her will to live. Liu did not sleep or eat and cried without stop, and often uncontrollably, for two days after David Wang's murder.
Speaking in Mandarin through an interpreter, Wang described how the couple and close relatives continue to feel.
"As far as our family is concerned, truly the sky has fallen," he said. "All our future dreams and hopes were on him. We have lost all of our happiness. We cannot endure his leaving us."
And then he switched, as his wife before him, to their realization their son would not let the madman kill them as well. They began to recover, they said, by healing through their Christian faith and accepting the help and well-wishes of neighbors, relatives and friends from church.
"The power of God," Charlie Wang said. "He knows why this thing has happened ...... We will keep on living, depending on Him and praising Him."
He ended with a story about his son at age four. After riding his tricycle on the sidewalk, he decided to take it home by himself -- five stories up the family's apartment building. The surprised father discovered the boy on the fourth floor, still determined to push the trike one more floor.
"I was truly very proud. He perseveres. He's not afraid of challenges. And he dares to move forward," Charlie Wang said. "God gave us a treasure for a son. Bless his name."

BERKELEY -- Former Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory director Andrew Sessler, described as a visionary in the fields of theoretical physics and particle accelerator sciences, died Friday of cancer, lab officials said. He was 85.
Sessler, who lived in Oakland, came to Berkeley in 1959, serving as the lab's third director from 1973 to 1980.
Under his leadership, the lab grew to its largest size ever and expanded into energy efficiency and sustainable energy research. Sessler oversaw establishment of the lab's Energy and Environment Division, the first of its kind at any national laboratory.
"Andy Sessler changed the face and character of our laboratory," Paul Alivisatos, the current lab director, said in a news release. "He successfully made the case for science to aid our country during its first energy crisis and helped establish the lab's efforts that brought about important technologies and standards that have improved the way we conserve and consume energy."
Sessler is best known for his advances in modern high-performance particle accelerators. His work led to advances in high-luminosity proton colliders, providing the basis for CERN's Large Hadron Collider and the Berkeley lab's Advanced Light Source.
Among his many accolades, Sessler won the Energy Department's Ernest Orlando Lawrence Award in 1970, the American Physical Society's (APS) Dwight Nicholson Medal in 1995, the APS Robert R. Wilson Prize in 1997 and the Enrico Fermi Award in 2014.
Born in 1928, Sessler earned his bachelor's degree in mathematics from Harvard and a masters' and doctorate in physics from Columbia University. He was a member of the Ohio State faculty from 1954 to 1959 before joining the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory.
In addition to being an avid outdoorsman, Sessler was also a noted humanitarian and advocate for scientific freedom. He was active in human rights issues with organizations such as the National Academy of Sciences, the Union of Concerned Scientists and Amnesty International. He also worked to free Soviet dissident scientists through a group he cofounded -- Scientists for Sakharov, Orlov and Sharansky.

Army Plans $7 Billion in Industry Partnerships for Renewables
March 28, 2012
The U.S. Army reported on March 19 that it will partner with industry to invest up to $7 billion over the next 10 years in renewable energy sources, including wind, solar, biomass, and geothermal energy. The military department has released a draft request for proposal (RFP) that could allow multiple projects to begin nationwide. The draft RFP indicates that the Army intends to primarily purchase renewable-generated electricity through power purchase agreements with the project developers.
The investment will help the Army reach its goal of having 25% of its estimated 2.5 million megawatt hours come from renewable sources by 2025. In addition to energy conservation, installations will strive to establish alternative forms of energy that will allow them to "island" or continue to operate should the power grid fail.
The Army's Energy Initiatives Task Force (EITF) serves as the central managing office to plan and execute large-scale renewable energy projects of greater than 10 megawatts (roughly enough to power 30,000 homes) on Army installations, which will be accomplished by leveraging private-sector financing. A renewable-energy project guide will be issued for comment later in the spring.
The task force has been working closely with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to develop a request for proposal under the Multiple Award Order Contract (MATOC). The MATOC provides a two-step process. In the first step, companies submit initial proposals and qualifications that are not project-specific. The draft RFP for the MATOC is out for public comment until March 24. The EITF plans to have a summit in May to meet with industry and discuss the renewable-energy development guide as well as specific projects. See the Army news report on the initiative and the draft solicitation on the Army Acquisition Business website.

Some athletes say that American ginseng helps reduce fatigue.
There is little research on the effect of American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) on exercise. Theoretically, American ginseng increases cortisol (a steroid hormone found naturally in the body) output, which suggests that it should be able to increase athletic performance; however, there is no human research to show this to be the case.
Historically, it has been used to help people who are fatigued feel less lethargic. The energizing effects of American ginseng only last while it is in your system. If you are consistently feeling tired, it's best to pinpoint the reason for your fatigue.

Obama Official Warns on Russia Sending Troops to Ukraine
A senior Obama administration official warned Russian leaders Sunday not to send armed forces into Ukraine to restore what they see as a compliant government, urging them to reject a Cold War view of the tumult in Ukraine as a struggle between East and West.
"That would be a grave mistake," President Barack Obama's National Security Adviser, Susan Rice, said on NBC's "Meet the Press." "It's not in the interests of the Ukraine or of Russia or of Europe or of the United States to see the country split. It's in nobody's interest to see violence return and the situation escalate."
Ms. Rice's remarks came after bloody street protests in Ukraine culminated this weekend in pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych's decision to leave the capital of Kiev.
Ms. Rice said that Mr. Yanukovych's whereabouts are "not known at the present." She made clear that the Obama administration isn't mourning his departure from the scene, saying he had lost "enormous legitimacy … by turning on his people, by using violence in the streets against peaceful protesters and by flouting the will of the Ukrainian people."
She suggested Mr. Yanukovych was out of step with a Ukrainian population that wants to closer ties to Europe, adding that "his decision to turn away from Europe wasn't the choice of the Ukrainian people."
"The Ukrainian people expressed themselves peacefully, they were met with violence and that did not end well for Yanukovych," she said.
She spoke about him in the past tense. While Mr. Yanukovych and his supporters in the Kremlin have described the events in Ukraine as a "coup," Ms. Rice said the question of whether he must relinquish power is moot.
"He has gone," she said, adding that he "left Kiev–packed up in an orderly fashion, took his stuff, his furniture with him."
Mr. Yanukovych, she said, "is not leading at the present."
Asked whether Russian President Vladimir Putin might see the volatility in Ukraine in a Cold War context–in which East and West battle for influence–Ms. Rice said: "He may, but if he does, that's a pretty dated perspective that doesn't reflect where the people of Ukraine are coming from.
"This is not about the U.S. and Russia. This is about whether the people of Ukraine have the opportunity to fulfill their aspirations and be democratic and be part of Europe, which they choose to be."
The U.S. favors a solution in Kiev in which a "unity government" would assume power following elections that take place in the "near term," she said.

Hitler's Role in the Persuection of the Jews by the Nazi Regime: Electronic Version, by Heinz Peter LongerichTable of Contents
|<< 9. Interim Results: Hitl...
|11. Hitler and the Plans... >
|List of abbreviations >>
10.1When Germany invaded and conquered Poland in September 1939, the Nazi Regime radicalised its anti-Jewish Policy significantly. During the war in Poland and in the months thereafter, German SS and police units shot many tens of thousands of people, members of the Polish elite, including thousands of Jews. These shootings were a part of the policy of the German leadership of rendering Poland leaderless and destroying it as a nation.88 This policy of mass murder was in accord with Hitler's ideas and orders.
10.2When on 12 September 1939, the head of Military Intelligence, Admiral Canaris, drew the attention of General Keitel (Chief of the High Command of the Wehrmacht) to the existing plans for far-reaching executions in Poland, Keitel answered that "these things have already been decided by the Führer"; Hitler had made clear that "if the Wehrmacht doesn't want to have anything to do with this then it must also accept that the SS and the Gestapo act separately".89 On 2 October Hitler stated that whatever happens, it should be noted that "Polish masters should not exist, where Polish masters exist they should be killed, as tough as this may sound".90
10.3The very fact that Hitler at this time played a central role in all of these questions related to the persecution of the Jews is made clear in a note of 6 December 1939 issued from the Office ";f Hess, Hitler's Deputy (in party affairs). At the beginning of December, 1939, proposals had been made by the Office of the Führer's Deputy to approach Himmler so as to be able to confiscate telephones still in Jewish hands and to decree a general identifying mark for Jews. Bormann, Chief of Staff of the Office and close personal co-worker of Hitler, let it be known "that the Reichsführer SS will discuss all measures against the Jews directly with the Führer".91
10.4At the end of May 1940 at a meeting of leading representatives of the police, Hans Frank, the "Generalgouverneur" in Poland (i.e. the Head of the German occupation administration) explained the intended plan for "extraordinary pacification" (Ausserordentliches Befriedungsprogramm), a further chapter in the murder of Polish citizens which was to be discharged while the world was distracted by the War in the West. Frank said:
I admit openly that the planned pacificaton program will cost the lives of thousands of Poles, especially of those from the intellectual leadership of Poland. [...] The Führer told me: The treatment and security of German policy in the Generalgouvernement is the business of those men responsible for the Generalgouvernement alone. He expressed himself in the following way: Whatever leadership we have now identified in Poland, that is what is to be liquidated.92
88. Jansen/Weckbecker, Selbstschutz: the main objectives of the German occupational policy in Poland are explained in: Broszat, Polenpolitik, Stuttgart and more recently in Majer, Fremdvölkische.
89. 'diese Sache bereits vom Führer entschieden sei'; 'wenn die Wehrmacht hiermit nichts zu tun haben wolle, sie es auch hinnehmen müsse, daß SS und Gestapo neben ihr in Erscheinung treten'. Memorandum Oberstleutnant Lahousen, printed in: Krausnick/Deutsch (eds.), Groscurth, Tagebücher, pp. 357ff.
90. 'keine polnischen Herren geben dürfte, wo polnische Herren vorhanden seien, sollten sie, so hart das klingen möge, umgebracht werden'. IMT XXXIX, pp. 425ff, 172-USSR, 2.12.39.
91. 'daß der Reichsführer SS alle Maßnahmen gegen die Juden direkt mit dem Führer besprechen werde." Bormanns letter, 12 December 1939, replying to two notes from the Office of the Deputy of the Führer, 5 and 6 December 1939 (BAB, NS 18alt/842 [NA, RG 242, T 81, 5594ff]).

AUSTIN, Texas – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi baseball team was able to string together hits, but were not able to push them across, and Texas took advantage of four Islanders errors in posting a 10-0 win over the Islanders in Austin on Tuesday night in eight innings.
On the night, the Islanders left a total of 11 runners on base in the game and had several costly errors that led to the victory for the Longhorns. In fact, half of UT's first eight runs were unearned.
Southpaw Trevor Belicek had a solid showing in his first outing of the season, throwing four innings, giving up just one earned run on five hits, while striking out four.
Seven of the nine Longhorns in the lineup recorded hits on the evening, including four of them picking up a pair of hits. Cody Stephens had two hits in a losing effort for A&M-Corpus Christi.
The Islanders had a great opportunity to score in the first inning for the third time in five games, as Jordan Lee stood on third after he singled and Tyler Ware pushed him over with a single of his own and one out.
Kyle Danford, the team's leading run producer early on in the season, seemed to have another as he ripped one to center. With Lee's speed, it looked like he would score, but a strong throw by center fielder Mark Payton made it a close play at the dish, with the umpire calling Lee out to end the inning.
The defense turned into offense for Payton, as he started the rally in the bottom of the first, slicing one just inside the left-field line and barely out of the reach of an outstretched Lee. Payton used his speed to hustle all the way around to third, later scoring on a single up the middle to give the Longhorns a 1-0 advantage after one inning.
After giving up a single and a walk after collecting the first out to start the third, UT's starting pitcher Blake Goins got the quick hook in his career debut. After Stephens and Lee used their speed to advance on a double steal, reliever Josh Sawyer got out a strikeout and groundout to end the threat and preserve a one-run lead for his team.
Facing the same situation in the bottom of the third, Belicek looked as if he had gotten out of a jam with runners on second and third unscathed as well, but shortstop Zack Gibson couldn't secure a twisting popup, and both runs came across to score. The two runs gave UT a 3-0 advantage a third of the way into the game.
In the top of fifth, the Islanders were able to advance runners to second and third yet again, but Sawyer stood tall once more and forced a pop up and groundout to leave two more runners stranded on base for A&M – Corpus Christi.
With his pitch count sitting at 65 through four innings in his first start, Belicek would not come out for the fifth, as Jacob Dorris came in on relief for his second appearance of the season.
The inning started off smooth for Dorris, sitting down the first two batters before the Longhorns starting putting them where the Islanders' defense wasn't. UT strung together five straight hits to go along with two costly errors by the visitors to hang a five-spot in the fifth to go up 8-0.
As they did all night, the Islanders threatened once again, loading the bases with two outs in the sixth before a fly out ended the scoring chance. A&M – Corpus Christi put runners on in each of the first six innings, but were unable to drive any of them in, leaving 10 men on base.
With the score still sitting at 8-0 in the bottom of the eighth, the Longhorns were able to tack on two more runs to end the game on a run rule.
The Islanders get back in action starting Thursday, returning to the Coastal Bend to compete in the annual Kleberg Bank College Classic. A&M – Corpus Christi will matchup for a doubleheader with BYU on Thursday, with game one at 3 p.m. The Islanders will play single games against UTSA and TCU on Friday and Saturday, respectively, to wrap up the tournament. The games against the Roadrunners and Horned Frogs will start at 6 p.m., with all contests being played at Whataburger Field.

Deepwater Wind Wins Offshore Wind Lease Auction
August 7, 2013
Deepwater Wind on July 31 was selected as the provisional winner of two offshore wind energy sites located off the coasts of Rhode Island and Massachusetts. The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) held the first-ever competitive lease auction in the United States for commercial offshore development. Deepwater's winning bid of $3.8 million for the two sites came in the eleventh round of the competition for two parcels, totaling more than 164,000 acres, in BOEM's Wind Energy Area located roughly 17 miles south of Rhode Island, between Block Island, Rhode Island, and Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts.
The company plans to develop the Deepwater Wind Energy Center (DWEC)—a utility-scale wind farm of up to 200 turbines with a capacity of up to 1,000 megawatts—with a regional transmission system linking Long Island, New York, to southeastern New England. Construction could begin as early as 2017, with commercial operations by 2018. Most of DWEC's turbines will be located 20 to 25 miles from the nearest landfall, and no turbine will be located any closer than roughly 13 miles from land. DWEC will produce enough energy to power approximately 350,000 homes and displace over 1.7 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually. See press releases from the Department of Interior and Deepwater Wind, as well as a lease map on the BOEM website.

OAKLAND -- Ever been so beguiled by that classic holiday favorite, "The Nutcracker," that you wish you could step onstage and be a part of it? Well, dust off your dance shoes, for here's your chance.
The East Bay Dance Center in the Glenview neighborhood is hosting its first "Do-It-Yourself Nutcracker" at 3 p.m. Dec. 9 and Dec. 16.
"I got the idea for a dance-along from a singalong 'Messiah' that I went to last year," said Bonnie Sita, who opened the dance school in 1990 and moved to the historic Glenview Women's Club building in 2004. "I've loved 'The Nutcracker' since I was a child and remember having everyone get up at my birthday party when I was 5 years old and dance the 'Waltz of the Flowers.'"
Sita said that students -- adults and children alike -- from the dance school will perform "snips and snaps" from the ballet.
"Audience members will be seated and will then be ushered in to take part in some portions of the dances," Sita said. "But I don't want to give too much away."
She did reveal that children and adults will have the chance to dance and that adults can learn how to waltz.
"It's very simple," Sita said. "Anyone can do it."
There will be other interactive elements, too.
"We'll be giving out party favors to the audience," Sita said. "For example, in the snow scene, audience members will have little baskets of snow that they can throw in the air."
The day's festivities include a silent art auction, which is being sponsored by Benjamin Scott, owner of Advent Properties in Glenview, and his marketing manager Bridget Ernest. They will set up artwork for view in the lobby of the dance school and serve complimentary wine.
"We're happy to be part of this unprecedented event that brings the community together and even involves the community in the actual performance," Scott said.
He said artists from Oakland, San Francisco, Carmel and Michigan donated their work for the dance center's fundraiser. All proceeds will benefit the dance center and Adults in Ballet, a philanthropic group that helps fund scholarships for dance classes.
"Our mission is to make dance available for children and adults and to promote dance in the community," Sita said. "It's something we've been doing for 23 years."
Tickets to the Do-It-Yourself Nutcracker are $15 for adults and $8 for children under 8 years. The East Bay Dance Center is at 1318 Glenfield Ave., Oakland. Call 510-336-3262 or visit www.eastbaydancecenter.org for more information.

Your tax-deductible gift to the Naval Institute Press underwrites worthy books that might not otherwise be published.
With Guadalcanal firmly in American control by October 1943, the Allies decided to invade Bougainville, another island in the Solomon chain, to tighten their stranglehold on the Japanese in the area. To divert the enemy's attention, a raid was ordered on the nearby island of Choiseul. Success relied on making the Japanese think that a Marine division had landed on Choiseul so that they would rush reinforcements there while a much larger American Marine force would land on Bougainville. But Allied resources were scarce, so the Choiseul raid fell to the 2nd Marine Parachute Battalion. An aggressive unit of paratroopers under the command of the now legendary "Brute" Krulak, they were well trained in guerilla warfare and night fighting. This is the story of the paratroopers' courageous fight, told from their unique perspective.
Told to make the noise of an entire division, the Marines knew that if they got into trouble, there would be no reinforcements. For seven days they raised hell, bringing the fight to the Japanese along the coastline and deep into the jungle. Then, on November 3, as a large Japanese force closed in, the Marines slipped off the island, mission accomplished. Bougainville had been secured. This hour-by-hour account of what happened is based on an exhaustive gathering of all possible eyewitness accounts and includes a rescue by John F. Kennedy's PT boat and the death of a Marine in Kennedy's bunk. It is a page-turner more akin to a novel than a work of nonfiction.
James F. Christ, a resident of Phoenix, Arizona, has traveled extensively, visiting World War II battle sites in Europe, Africa, and Asia, and interviewed more than two hundred veterans.

Two new Old Navy ads recently unveiled feature a treat for the teens of yesteryear in the form of four West Beverly alums: Jennie Garth, Jason Priestley, Luke Perry, and Gabrielle Carteris.
The cast members of the original 90210 are all grown up (well, even more so than 12 years ago), but their conundrums are still the same: Kelly still can't choose between Brandon and Dylan, and Andrea still has a huge crush on Brandon.
Good show, Old Navy. Good show.

the other day I try the latest 1.10.5 and it shows up fine on my ps3, but I can't get any files to show on the ps3. first it takes forever to load ever so often the ps3 reporting media server error, then after awhile it says no files found! this is on both video and audio files, latest build won't let me see my files on my ps3 anymore!!
also files are on a network share, it that makes any difference, as I said it worked fine on the previous version.

All credit to Jusshako and PescadoJM for their ideas on the counter card concept and successful thread.
I wanted to try something a little different and thought it might be easiest to start a new thread rather than hijack Jusshako's to do it.
1) Know how to post a pic (instructions at bottom of this post), do not post without a pic
2) Read the post before you and play a card that will defeat it if played NEXT. (ie. surging)
3) You must follow the unique rule at the top of the page you are on
4) If you are the first post on a new page, you may change the unique rule ensuring a card pool of at least 100 cards.
5) If the unique rule has not been changed, then the previous pages' rule applies
6) Copy the unique rule in your own post
7) You may use Assault + structures but not commanders or action (the card that survives, wins)
8) Abilities with 50% activation will activate 100% unless unique rule states otherwise
9) The card you post must be able to be countered by a single card in the unique rule, or
10) If a dead end is accidentally reached, declare a new unique rule and post a new card.
11) Cards may not appear twice on the same page unless there is no other possible counter.
12) Make stupid whimsical comment about your card choice :P
13) Unique rules may be re-used on separate pages. That is the first poster's (per page) choice.
14) Once a card has been posted below yours, do not edit your post as it causes confusion. Even if your card was proven to not be a winning counter.
15) Things can get confusing and complicated at times, try not to squabble, but find a way to get the game back on track instead.
Examples/Ideas for unique rules
- No legendary/unique cards allowed
- No cards with a cooldown of 4 allowed
- Bloodthirsty and Xeno cards only
- Gold pack cards only
- Must counter from a different card set
- Everyone has Daria as commander, card may not have weaken ability
How to post pic
1) Search for card on Google images
2) Click on the card's thumbnail (it will take you to another page, otherwise code is often jibberish)
3) Right click the card (it should be a window in front of the page)
4) Choose "copy image url"
5) Paste url in your post with "!" on either side
If your code looks like the one below, then you have done it wrong (most likely step 2)
When deciding on cards, this is the best place to filter cards so that you fit in with unique rules. Also if you right click on the cards and say "open in new tab," you can then right click on the card and save either "image URL" or "image location" etc to put between the "!"
Raid rewards only list can be found here.

A Plus Size Active Wear Collection That's Actually Cute
Pinks and Greens offers fitness clothes up to XXL
Dorst created the company in 2010, after noticing the dearth in plus-size active wear options for women. She explains her plight thusly: "The problem is, number one, the manufacturers don't think that the need exists, so it's a vicious cycle. ... I really think that these brands think that once you're over a size 8, you're not active." Pinks and Greens offers golf, tennis, fitness and lifestyle options -- and all of the clothes are cute, colorful and dynamic.
RELATED: 10 New Diet Myths & Facts
Golf attire is a super popular seller for the company, and the its best-selling size is size 18 -- proof positive that bigger women are also active.
"I just wanted something that was attractive and feminine and that looked good ... and I couldn't find that," Dorst says of her justification for creating the line Dorst. Now she's found that, and so have the rest of us. [Huffington Post]

I Need Your Help
This message is to all my folks, especially my die-hard folks, the ones I call the "Board Members" - you know who you are :). By now I'm sure you all know that I have moved my TV shows to OWN and on May 28th and 29th I have a two night premiere. On Tuesday night, my new hot drama THE HAVES AND THE HAVE NOTS starts. I'm telling you, I put it all in this show. I not only want you to watch it but we need you to watch it for several reasons. The biggest reason is this is a fresh group of faces and I am beyond excited to see them get their shot. I make you these promises, this SHOW WILL HOOK YOU!!! I KNOW IT! Then on Wednesday night, which used to be my original night of TV, I'm going back to it with a brand new show called LOVE THY NEIGHBOR. It stars a bunch of new faces including the two folks I said I would give a sitcom to, Mamma Hattie (Patrice Lovely) and Floyd (Palmer Williams, Jr). They are so excited and this show is so funny. So Tuesday get your drama on and Wednesday get your funny on OWN, OK?
I remember when HOUSE OF PAYNE started how people tried to kill it before it started, but because you watched it and were there, that show went on into the history books with 254 episodes. Thank you for that. You did that through the grace of God. So in less than ten days THE HAVES AND THE HAVE NOTS and LOVE THY NEIGHBOR will start on OWN. I hope you are planning to watch them. Thank you for helping me help someone else. I wish you could see how excited these cast members are. They have been waiting to see their dreams come true and you know how much I love to be used by God to make that happen. You'll see, you'll see.
And FYI, all of you FOR BETTER OR WORSE fans, it's coming back with a new season to OWN as well. And all you HOUSE OF PAYNE fans, hold on, I'm trying to work on something..LOL, but we've got to launch these new shows first, OK?
Let me know your thoughts.
Many blessings and love to you.

Hip-hop fans have long considered Public Enemy among the genre's true immortals.
Now, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame agrees.
Public Enemy, the groundbreaking outfit led by rapper Chuck D, is arguably the most significant name among the Rock Hall's 2013 inductees, which were announced Tuesday. That's no knock on the other five performance members of this accomplished class: disco queen Donna Summer, prog-rock champions Rush, singer-songwriter Randy Newman, classic rockers Heart and blues giant Albert King.
Rather, it's notable because there has 's been no shortage of public debate as to whether the Rock Hall would -- or should -- recognize hip-hop artists.
The initial answer appears to be yes -- as Public Enemy will be inducted, alongside its other classmates, during the Rock Hall ceremony on April 18 at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. It's the first time the induction ceremony will be held on the West Coast. Public Enemy joins Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five and the Beastie Boys, two other hip-hops acts already inducted into the Rock Hall.
A big snub
Yet, before hip-hop fans get too giddy about Public Enemy joining the club, it's significant to point out that N.W.A. didn't make this year's cut. That's a bit of a head scratcher, given that the legendary Southern California gangsta rap troupe had such impressive credentials -- having exerted such influence, and introduced so many key players to the game, during its brief career. It will be interesting to see what happens over the next decade or so, as other great hip-hop artists -- from Dr. Dre and Jay-Z to 2Pac and Eminem -- become eligible for consideration.
To be considered for nomination, an artist must have released its first single or album at least 25 years before the year of nomination. And it's no shoo-in that an act will be nominated that first year. Of course, you don't have to tell that to Rush fans, who have been screaming for the Hall to recognize the Canadian troupe for years. Rush has been eligible for the past 13 years, yet voters have been reluctant thus far to embrace prog-rock acts. The win for Rush, however, could open the doors to other deserving prog/art-rock acts, including Yes and Emerson, Lake and Palmer.
A wide net
In all, the Rock Hall's class of 2013 represents an incredibly diverse group. More significant, all six of the inductees are incredibly well deserving. (In addition, producer Lou Adler and the multitalented producer/composer/musician Quincy Jones, perhaps best known for producing Michael Jackson's "Thriller" album, were inducted in the nonperforming category).
Public Enemy changed hip-hop in so many ways with its politically charged and wildly experimental music. Rush has sold more than 40 million records during its career. Newman is one of the most admired, and versatile, songwriters of the last 50 years. Summer, who died earlier this year, was one of the biggest pop stars of the '70s -- and her influence on dance music is still being felt today. Heart produced so much memorable music during the late '70s and early '80s -- and it was among the earliest female-fronted hard rock bands. King, who died in 1992, was one of the greatest blues guitarists of all time.

Philip B was propelled into the treatment business as a fledgling stylist in Boston and later, Los Angeles. Concerned about clients who came to him with fried, over-processed hair that wouldn't respond to regular conditioning treatments, he began whipping up his own natural remedies at home. Within a few years, he was working as a stylist and colorist to some of Hollywood's most prominent actors and industry players. As Hollywood's preeminent hair-treatment expert, Philip B has garnered international praise for his visionary approach to hair, scalp and body-care treatments. His award-winning blends, all based on pure botanicals and essential oils at potent concentrations, have dramatically changed the way the world perceives luxury care for hair and skin.
The Philip B. line has a product to address all your hair care needs. And Philip B. himself has created each of his restorative formulas, all of them infused with active botanicals.
Do you suffer from dry or damaged hair? The Philip B Oud Royal Forever Shine Shampoo features innovative botanical moisturizers that penetrate each hair strand and hydrate from the cortex to the cuticle. The result is hair that gleams and feels thicker and softer.
For hair that is colored or chemically treated, reach for the reparative Philip B Russian Amber Imperial Conditioning Creme. L-amino acids, pure plant botanicals, and amber oil work together to transform your hair from dull to shiny and from flat to vibrant.
To calm your inflamed scalp, try the highly-rated Philip B Anti Flake Relief Shampoo. The ingredients of active 1% zinc omadine and 0.525% coal tar help to soothe even the most stubborn conditions. Plus, the shampoo contains active plant concentrates including aloe vera, chamomile, juniper berry, sage, and tea tree oil. These natural extracts are antiseptic and conditioning agents, and work to reduce the itch and flakiness associated with dandruff.
Are you frustrated by your flyaway hair? The Philip B Lavender Hair and Body Shampoo nourishes frayed strands with gentle botanical cleansers, leaving your hair more manageable, strengthened, and glossy. The aroma of lavender oil not only smells great, it helps to relax your mind and body, too. The shampoo can also be used as a comforting bubble bath at the end of a stressful day.
Everyone cares about good hair health, and appearance. Well-nourished hair of lustrous texture and depth projects the sort of self-confident and vital look you aspire for. A head of unhealthy and neglected hair, by contrast, looks limp, dull, deflated, and haggard: not the sort of qualities you want to be associated with. Unfortunately, plenty of hair products on the market today are loaded with distasteful chemicals and other mediocre ingredients, and do little more than put a dent in your pocketbook.
Philip B Products are different: They're hair treatments of the highest order, developed for the look-obsessed realities of Hollywood culture but now available to everyone. Founded by the innovative stylist Philip B., the line showcases hair products formulated with natural botanicals and other healthful agents. Philip B Products recognize and address the close association between hair health and hair appearance: Using them, you'll be confident you're both looking your best and taking care of your locks.
Having Philip B Products on your bathroom shelf is rather like having a personal salon at your own constant disposal.
Reawaken your hair's inner spirit and usher it to its fullest potential with the Philip B Products, just as the celebrities do for their photo shoots and television rounds. These shampoos, conditioners, and other treatments aren't just concerned about superficial appearances: They're meant to be medicating and nourishing, tending to your scalp and your hair to make them not only look great, but feel great, as well.
Botanical power is on your side when you use the Philip B Peppermint and Avocado Volumizing and Clarifying Shampoo. Charged with 11 carrier and essential oils, 16 pure-plant extracts, and a 2.3-percent peppermint-extract formulation, this heavy-duty shampoo is the perfect salve for bedraggled, abused hair. You'll be nourishing your scalp and your hair, both, rendering a set of locks silken and smooth, with bolstered body and volume.
The Philip B African Shea Butter Gentle and Conditioning Shampoo has been acutely crafted with a rich blend of ingredients: African Shea Butter, nettle, hops, comfrey, and vitamin B5 among them, all designed to give your hair a moisturizing and cleansing workout. It can even function as a combination shampoo and conditioner, for those with fine, medium, or short hair types. It's the sort of full-bodied and multi-talented creation that the Philip B line prides itself on.
For those suffering from irritated or dandruff-ridden scalps, the Philip B Anti Flake Relief Shampoo is the perfect balm. Rich in zinc omadine, coaltar, and a suite of botanical extracts, aloe vera, tea tree oil, sage, juniper berry, and chamomile, this shampoo conditions your hair and your scalp while diminishing the irritations of psoriasis and flaky skin.

And "Idol" is unwatchable these days.
For all that these two shows have in common, there are also some significant differences. And most of those play out in favor of "The Voice."
"The Voice" relies on pre-screened contestants - many of them ringers who have previously been signed to recording contracts. So we don't get the mean-spirited "comedy" that results from the awful singers on "Idol."
It also means that there are no real rags-to-riches stories on "The Voice." We won't get a Kelly Clarkson - a waitress turned "American Idol" winner.
Advantage: It's a toss-up.
"Idol" has tweaked a few things, but nothing major. Contestants audition for the judges; audition for the judges again; audition for the judges again; then they sing for the viewers, who vote them out.
The most brilliant thing about "The Voice" is the blind auditions, when judges choose contestants by hearing, not seeing, them. Then the contestants sing with/compete against other members of their teams. Then they're matched against another team member. Finally, it's "Idol"-ish as viewers vote.
It's not the same from beginning to end.
Advantage: "The Voice"
Simon Cowell set the standard for singing-competition judges, but he's left "Idol" for "The X Factor," where his act is wearing thin.
The four current judges on "Idol" are the worst lineup yet. Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj are dreadful; Keith Urban is a nice guy who fades into the background; and Randy Jackson's act got old about eight years ago. Executive producer Nigel Lythgoe has gone public with his complaints about his judges' lack of chemistry - but the problems are much worse than just that.
"The Voice," on the other hand, has the best judging panel of any singing competition in TV's modern era. Adam Levine is an unexpected TV star; he and Blake Shelton have a Sonny and Cher vibe going as they needle one another.
And Shakira and Usher are huge improvements over the prickly Christina Aguilera and oddball Cee Lo Green in past seasons.
All four of them are smart, funny, personable and know their stuff. You've got the drama on "Idol"; "The Voice" is all about entertaining the audience.
Advantage: "The Voice"

Pushing for last minute support, Rick Santorum met with supporters in Delta Township Monday.
Hundreds of people packed in to the Lexington Lansing Hotel to listen to the former Pennsylvania senator.
Santorum's speech focused on the need for a return to economic prosperity and a President to reduce government and put his trust in the American people.
"You have the chance to be an inflection point in this race," he told the crowd of supporters. "Don't miss the opportunity to stand up to those who say we can't really elect someone who's too conservative, we need to appeal to moderate voters. They said the same thing about Ronald Reagan."
While most of the talk focused on President Obama, Santorum also tried to separate himself from Republican challenger Mitt Romney, painting the former Massachusetts governor as too moderate and out of touch with Michigan's blue collar workers.
"Michigan you have the opportunity to stop the joke, to tell the truth about who the real conservative is," Santorum said.
Michigan is Romney's home state, but no longer a guaranteed win.
Where Romney has at times struggled to connect with the Michigan's working class, Santorum appears comfortable.
"The fact that he does his own taxes resonates with me," Steve Hadin of Lansing said. "I'm definitely in favor of his talking about social issues. I think one of the fundamental principals of our country is the foundation of the family and if we lose that we're in big trouble."
Santorum slammed Romney for opposing the GM and Chrysler bailouts while supporting help for Wall Street.
He also played up his own Catholic faith, saying he's not afraid to talk about good and evil, right and wrong.
A win in Michigan Tuesday would cement Romney's status as the frontrunner for the nomination, but after a mid-February surge from Santorum, recent polls show the state could go either way.
Santorum's campaign hasn't been able to match Romney's fundraising and infrastructure, but Santorum says he can win.
Eluding to Romney, he told the crowd money and negative ads won't be enough to win in the general election. He says it will take a candidate with vision.
Voters will decide on Tuesday who that candidate is.

PARKERSBURG - A job possibly up in the air when Wood County Sheriff-elect Ken Merritt takes office in January could be that of an administrator who was elected to Vienna City Council.
Steve Stephens, director of county confinement operations, was elected as the only non-incumbent to a city council seat in Vienna. His term begins in January.
Stephens was hired to the Wood County Sheriff's Office under Sheriff Jeff Sandy, who lost the general election this month.
"His position is not civil service," said Sandy. "However, based on the research in which was conducted by attorney John R. Teare Jr. with the West Virginia Sheriff's Association, (the new sheriff) would have to have just cause to remove him (Stephens) from that."
Among the political appointments Merritt can make are for chief law enforcement and chief tax collection deputies. Deputy sheriffs are civil service positions, but Stephens, a former police chief from Vienna, is not covered under civil service.
The sheriff-elect plans to study his appointments. Some changes will be made and some positions will remain as is, Merritt said.
"It needs addressed, and we just need to know exactly where we're at," Merritt said Monday.
Stephens was not aware if his position would be on the line but was assured by Sandy it would not be in jeopardy. He is worried about others he is in charge of and hopes the new sheriff will take into consideration their dedication and involvement in the department, Sandy said.
According to the handbook of county government elective offices assembled by the West Virginia Association of Counties, a state sheriff's duties include serving and executing all returns, notices and processes issued by the courts; acting as bailiff in court proceedings; enforcing court orders; administering transportation of prisoners; administering the financial matters of adults who are unable to do so for themselves; issuing licenses to citizens who apply for a concealed weapons permit; collecting all taxes and disbursing the money to the appropriate agencies; maintaining all tax records and enforcing payment of delinquent taxes.
The association was established in 1960 to bring about the rebirth of effective county government to the state.
Assistance of the sheriff in the performance of his or her duties can be law enforcement deputies, tax deputies and legal process deputies. Correctional officers may also be hired in counties with a county jail, according to the handbook.
"The people of Wood County would want to know," Merritt said of details surrounding the change in office.

Knitter's Review

Last week we met Ron and Cecil Miskin, our "buffalo guys" who turn bison down into yarn. Well, this week I present a buffalo gal, none other than Judith MacKenzie McCuin. In addition to teaching classes and writing books and working on other yarns, the much-revered fiber artist is now producing her very own artisanal blend of bison and Merino—and I have two skeins to show you.

Trash, even "good" trash like compost, is not usually appetizing enough to make it into the pages of The Post Food section. But this column's mission is to highlight businesses that fill the gaps in the sustainable-food chain. Composting is one of them: Americans generate 250 million tons of garbage every year. Nearly a third of what is sent to the landfill could be composted but instead sits in an airless hole where it decomposes and releases methane, a dangerous greenhouse gas.
"I don't think of it as the garbage business," Brosowsky said. "I'm in the magic business. As I tell my kids, 'I turn garbage into food.' "
Brosowsky remembers the date when he had his eureka moment about composting. On March 21, 2010, he was in Milwaukee at Growing Power, one of the country's most successful urban farms, where he hoped to learn enough to start his own rooftop garden in Washington. On a compost run - a trip to a bakery, a cafe and several other locations to pick up food scraps - he realized just how inefficient it was for the farmer to drive from place to place, often waiting an hour or more between pickups.
For $32 a month, Compost Cab gives each customer a countertop collection basket and an airtight bin, lined with a sturdy, compostable bag, to minimize smells and keep away rodents, always a worry with composting. Customers fill the bin with kitchen scraps such as banana peels, coffee grounds or vegetable trimmings. If it grows, it goes, is the company rule.
Each week, Compost Cab picks up the bag, leaving behind a clean bin with a new liner. It delivers the waste to urban farms, including Eco City Farms near Hyattsville, Md., and the Washington Youth Garden at the National Arboretum, which use the material to improve their soil and grow more food. It also works with commercial clients including the Hyatt Regency on Capitol Hill and Qualia Coffee in Washington.
"As composting becomes more mainstream, my job is to make sure that some significant piece of the stream gets captured for urban farms," Brosowsky says.
For Kate Hill, a caterer and self-described "foodie," subscribing to Compost Cab was a no-brainer. She had been giving her scraps to a neighbor with a compost pile, but that ended quickly when rodents became a problem. "It killed me to see how much I was returning to the trash," she said. "There was no reason that it shouldn't go someplace that it can do some good, rather than sitting in a landfill in a plastic bag."
The company has converted city residents who otherwise might not have considered composting, including Doug Rand, a policy adviser at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. He doesn't garden, and he doesn't have a back yard. He wanted to compost but he wasn't interested in collecting trash and driving it each week to a dropoff: "Until Compost Cab arrived, there was no way to do it unless you were a zealot." If it weren't so easy, he wouldn't do it, he said.
To date, with no marketing save a few postings on local listservs, Compost Cab has recruited 350 residential customers. Seventy-five percent of customers continue to subscribe after one year. Each week, Compost Cab delivers about two tons of compostable material to local farms. This month, the company will begin to offer service in Baltimore. Brosowsky says he hopes to add six more cities, possibly including Brooklyn, Chicago and Charlottesville, in 2013.
Brosowsky admits that residential compost pickup is only a short-term business. In the long run, it makes sense for cities and towns to pick up organic waste along with garbage and recycling as they do in San Francisco, where city trucks collect 600 tons of compostable material each day. Washington's Sustainable DC task force, which aims to make the city the "greenest" in the nation, is discussing options for composting, though no formal plans have been announced. In the meantime, Brosowsky is working to prove to municipalities that composting makes sense.
In University Park, Md., he helped to run a 50-home pilot project for the town council, which was interested in composting as a way to reduce methane production. After a six-month test, all but one participant recommended the service, said Chuck Wilson, program director for University Park's Small Town Energy Project, which oversaw the pilot. During that time, each house contributed between eight and 10 pounds of kitchen waste. The only whisper of a complaint was that customers wanted bigger buckets so they could compost more.
University Park plans to expand the program to include 150 homes, 20 percent of the town's households. With triple the number of families, the town will be diverting three tons of food scraps each month from the local landfill. Remarkably, the cost of the program is no more than paying to dump the town's waste, Wilson estimates.
"We wouldn't be here if Jeremy hadn't pushed us down this road," Wilson said. "He wasn't working with us to try to get a bigger contract. He was trying to get composting to work."
There are still many challenges to making composting work. Urban farms can handle only so much waste. There is a dearth of commercial composting facilities big enough to handle large quantities of compostable material. (Right now, the closest one to Washington is in Wilmington, Del.)
But Brosowsky says he is convinced that if he can make composting simple enough for families, businesses and urban farms, it will be easy to sell. "It's not about waste reduction. It's about food production," he says. "Farm-to-table is great. But farm-to-table-to-farm is better."

Free to Be... You and Me at 40 Oct 23 2012
Writing for Slate, Dan Kois looks back on the landmark album for kids, Free to Be... You and Me, which was released 40 years ago. Part one details how the album came to be.
[Marlo] Thomas' fruitless Martindale's shopping trip led her to the idea that her next project ought to be a collection of stories for children that avoided sexual stereotypes and promoted gender equality. She could solicit the stories and record herself reading them. It would be just like the records she and her sister had listened to in their rooms as little girls, but liberated, smarter, modern. She just had to find the stories.
Part two covers how the album was created:
The sketches were recorded at the grand MediaSound studio on West 57th Street over the course of a few days. Billy De Wolfe, Thomas's co-star on That Girl, lent his distinctive voice to several roles on the record, including the dandyish principal who plays the flute for Dudley Pippin. (Dudley Pippin himself was voiced by "Bobby Morse," better known now as cranky senior partner Bertram Cooper on Mad Men.) Some of the sessions were quite impromptu: Dick Cavett remembers getting a call from Thomas in the morning-"I had a show to tape that day, and I thought, well, God, I can't really do it, but I like her, and she does good stuff, and also I was very familiar with her face because on my daytime show the promo for That Girl ran at least 10 times during each show"-and walking the few blocks from his office to MediaSound to record that afternoon.
Mel Brooks' session was more eventful. Thomas had written to him that the album "would benefit the Ms. Foundation," and when he came in the morning of his recording, he told her that he thought the material Reiner and Stone had written was funny but that he didn't know what it had to do with multiple sclerosis. Once set straight about the MS in question, Brooks joined Thomas in the recording booth, where they would both play babies for the album's first sketch, "Boy Meets Girl."
"When I directed," Alda recalls, "I would be meticulous and relentless. I would do a lot of takes. But Mel is not a guy who's used to doing a lot of takes. He's not used to taking direction from anybody-you know, he gives direction." Alda didn't love the first few takes of "Boy Meets Girl"; in the end it took, Alda remembers, 10 or 15 tries, with Brooks improvising madly all along the way. Rodgers was there that day to record "Ladies First," and she still remembers standing in the control room laughing harder with each take. "Mel was generous," Alda allows, "and he let me egg him on."
And part three addresses the impact the album has had:
Criticism came from the other direction, too. Thomas held on to a review from the feminist newspaper Off Our Backs, which chided Free To Be for its focus on the nuclear family and hetero relationships. "The message is so upbeat and catchy and some of the messages so appealing," Fran Pollner wrote, "that the adult feminist listener may miss the first time around the basic idea of this one-hour album: that little boys and little girls should get together at a young age to ensure a solid and satisfying future marriage and family life."
"I think it was very hard in the 1970s to ever make any comment that was viewed as radical enough," laughs Laura Lovett, co-editor with Rotskoff of When We Were Free To Be. "People were holding one another to really hard and clear goals."
But of course part of the point of Free To Be was making radical feminist beliefs palatable to a broad audience that might otherwise reject them. "It was second-wave feminism that went mainstream," Rotskoff says. "It was packed with telegenic celebrities. It was performed by famous people. And the messages were both revolutionary and accessible enough for a mainstream audience."
We listen to a lot of Free to Be on long car trips. No idea whether any of it is getting through, but it's nice to have something to reference when we're talking about, for example, the maddening no-boys-allowed princess parties thrown by Ollie's school classmates. [hair tearing-out noise]

His rags-to-riches immigrant journey and good business sense crowned Juvenal Chavez the king of Latino supermarkets in the Bay Area, but now the CEO is fighting to save the reputation of his 21-store Mi Pueblo Foods grocery chain.
Mi Pueblo stunned some of its more than 3,000 employees last month when it told them it had joined E-Verify, a Department of Homeland Security program that screens the immigration status of new hires.
Now, with union activists accusing Chavez of betraying his own undocumented immigrant roots and threatening a consumer boycott if he doesn't pull out of E-Verify by October, the entrepreneur is fighting back in a war of words against the union and political opposition.
A protest outside the chain's San Jose headquarters on Thursday was "part of an ongoing campaign against Mi Pueblo (to) damage our good name," said spokeswoman Perla Rodriguez, who accused labor unions of an underhanded campaign to distort the company's record of advocacy for the Bay Area's Latino community.
Lauded by city leaders around the Bay Area for buying up vacant or rundown big-box supermarkets and transforming them into colorful, festive Latin American food markets, Chavez is now confronting one of his biggest public-relations challenges since he founded the company in 1991 on San Jose's Eastside.
Among Mi Pueblo's most prominent critics is Santa Clara County Supervisor David Cortese, who claimed in December that armed security guards escorted him from a San Jose store when he paid a visit after hearing complaints about work conditions. The company had said the visit by Cortese, a likely 2014 candidate for mayor of San Jose, was a union-organized "media stunt."
Now, the E-Verify controversy is fueling the ongoing disputes. Labor organizers trying to unionize Latino and Asian ethnic markets across the state are attacking Chavez as a hypocrite, citing past media reports in which he revealed he came to the United States illegally from Mexico as a young man in the 1980s.
"He comes here undocumented and now he's going after undocumented workers," said Mike Henneberry of the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 5. "I think that's a little hypocritical. If it's not hypocritical, it's a little ironic."
Rodriguez countered that Chavez is a longtime U.S. citizen and a community advocate who supports fixing the "broken" immigration system and has funded scholarships for undocumented students. She said she didn't know how he arrived to the country. That question, she said, is "very personal and it is not pertinent to operation of the company." Chavez declined repeated requests for comment.
After arriving to the United States in the 1980s and working as a janitor at Stanford University, Juvenal Chavez worked with his brother David Chavez to found Redwood City's Chavez Meat Market in 1984, expanded into Menlo Park in 1993 and now runs the 8-store Chavez Supermarket chain.
Soon however, Juvenal Chavez's own company began to eclipse his brother's business, and is now an empire that stretches from Vallejo to Salinas and the Central Valley. It has been fighting for several years with a union that accuses it of mistreating workers.
For now, many of the popular chain's loyal customers remain unaware of the controversy.
"That's kind of unexpected for a store like this," said Jonathan Rodriguez, 18, as he helped his grandmother on Thursday stuff grocery bags into her trunk at the Mi Pueblo store in central Hayward. "I don't think that's right. They are a Mexican food center and they should be helping their community."
Another regular customer, Rafael Nunez, says the "law is the law" and Mi Pueblo is doing what it needs to do.
"In any country you go to, the law says you need papers to work," said Nunez as he went searching for a fresh mango with his young grandson.
Mi Pueblo signed up for E-Verify on Aug. 14, joining more than 30,400 California employers and 109,205 work sites across the state that belong to the expanding work-verification network, according to Sharon Rummery, spokeswoman for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
The San Jose-based grocer is also among a growing number of supermarkets in the program.
Pleasanton-based Safeway uses E-Verify, but only in Arizona, where the state requires its use. Modesto-based Save Mart, which includes the Lucky store brand, also uses E-Verify to screen workers, as do Berkeley-based Grocery Outlet and Berkeley Bowl and several Latino grocery chains such as Vallarta Supermakets and El Super, both headquartered in Los Angeles County, according to the federal government's list of all E-Verify employers.
Mi Pueblo joined upon the federal government's recommendation, said Rodriguez, who said it was a tough decision for company executives to make.
"This is something many Hispanic grocery stores" have to deal with, she said.

The Berlin crime statistics for 1932
182.Contrary to what is suggested at 5.32 Interpol did exist in 1932. According to the Encyclopaedia Britannica:--
"Interpol began in Europe, which is not surprising since many countries of Europe have common frontiers and a criminal can, for example, be in one of four other countries within an hour of having committed a crime in Belgium. After World War I there was a great increase in crime; one of the countries most affected was Austria, and the Viennese police president, Johann Schober, obtained his government's support in 1923 for calling together representatives of the criminal police of other countries. The representatives of 20 nations met to discuss the problems facing them, and the International Criminal Police commission was formed that year. Vienna was the home of its first headquarters, and Schober became its first president. From 1923 until 1938 the commission flourished."
183.Para. 5.35 is a grossly inaccurate rendition of Irving's evidence on this matter. Irving admitted no error in citing wrong sources. More importantly, Evans did not (paragraph 5.33, last sentence) state that the other two references which Irving cited did not bear out his claim; Evans stated that he had not been able to locate Kiaulehn and Wieglin, the sources whom Irving used. (Day 29, 2 March, 2000, commencing at page 96).

TEN match ban?
For burying those teeth into Ivanovic's arm, all due credit to the Chelsea defender for not retaliating though. Madness!
Great game but ruined by Suarez antics again.
Sadly his childish antics will grab the headline again.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
I think a 10 match ban would have been OK if there had been that number of games left in the season. I think this is an attempt by some to drive him out of the English game. Another way to do it would have been to ban him for the number of games left and deduct a number of points from Liverpool total. At the end of the season, it would be start again with a clean slate and not have to wait until October to get a kick.

I will admit Liverpool is my "second" club after Spurs but I am gutted that this once great, and highly respected club throughout the World, is being dragged through the mud by one mentally ill player and a management team that is trying to defend the indefensible. Yes, you need to support each other but only to a point and if they can't see that this incident, along with his background and previous conduct, has gone way past the point of normal, then I feel sorry for the club and the fans. Oh, and if that's not bad enough, sanctioning the buying of players as average as Carrol, Dowling and Henderson should be enough to warrant a full scale clear out of the whole Board!

Just as I expected, a 10 match ban has been handed to Suarez.
I think it would be difficult for the club to argue for less game ban given his chequered past. The good thing for Liverpool is this season is gone and they have nothing to play for, therefore half of his punishment can be served this season if they didn't contest FA rulings.

I think your right it will be hard for the club to successfully appeal, as the appeals process is hardly every successful. However I do think an appeal should be lodged as there is no precedent for a 10 match ban for a single count of violent conduct, and while this season is gone, as it stands Suarez won't be able to play in the league till the end of September.

I read Defoe bit a player sometime ago and only got a 3 match ban.. double standards methinks.. if Defoe gets only a 3 match ban then so should Suarez.

Armchair, Suarez is a repeat offender.
The FA are likely to take his previous track record of biting into account in this case, hence the governing body's statement that the standard punishment of a three-match ban is insufficient.
dsteer_lfc_68 dsteer_lfc_68 Apr 23, 2013 15:11 Flag
Your right that Defoe did bite, and the circumstances are not so different, but because they let the card given on the pitch stand as the only punishment does not mean Suarez should in effect get away with it. But where do you really stand on this, on another thread you stated Suarez should be banned for the rest of the season then sold, but now it seems he should only get a slap on the wrist. Have you changed your mind?
Defoe was given a yellow card in that match, as the ref had seen it and felt at the time it warranted a card, so the FA decided not to interject, and from my understanding Defoe was given no ban because of the ref's decision and card.
In this instance, the ref had not seen it, did not issue a yellow card, so the FA has free reigns to give any ban they deem necessary. And unfortunately, whether any of us likes it or not, or accepts it or not, his prior indiscretions will play a factor, so a ban for the remainder of this season only seems very unlikely, with something around 8 - 10 games looking very possible.
I'd love to say 5 and another hefty fine, and hope for that, but I doubt it, and sometimes I'm not sure he'll learn his lesson. I don't care what player, or what team, or what anyone else says, there's no room for BITING in any professional sport, especially not twice..

Max Wade, the Marin County teenager convicted of a string of crimes that included a drive-by shooting and theft of a celebrity's $200,000 car, was sentenced to life in prison plus 21 years, four months with the possibility of parole Thursday in Marin Superior Court.
Wade, 19, was found guilty in October of attempted murder, vehicle theft and other charges. Although the crimes were committed when he was under 18, he was charged as an adult.
The shooting occurred on April 13, 2012, in Mill Valley. Wade was convicted of firing a gun at a truck occupied by Landon Wahlstrom, 18, and his girlfriend Eva Dedier, 17, of San Rafael.
Marin County sheriff's investigators were able to rapidly identify the suspect as Wade, who was known to supply Dedier and other teens with fake IDs. Authorities alleged that Wade desired Dedier and was jealous she was dating Wahlstrom.
The investigation led detectives to Wade's storage locker in Richmond, where they found a $200,000 Lamborghini belonging to restaurateur and television chef Guy Fieri. The car was stolen from a San Francisco dealership in 2011 by a burglar who rappelled from a high window, authorities said.
The story will be updated.

Murphy's Law:
Nothing is as easy as it looks.
Everything takes longer than you expect.
And if anything can go wrong,
It will at the worst possible moment.
Here's to you and yours
And to mine and ours.
And if mine and ours
Ever come across to you and yours,
I hope you and yours will do
As much for mine and ours
As mine and ours have done
For you and yours!
May the most you wish for
Be the least you get.
May the luck of the Irish
Lead to happiest heights
And the highway you travel
Be lined with green lights.
Grant me a sense of humor, Lord,
The saving grace to see a joke,
To win some happiness from life,
And pass it on to other folk.
Ireland, it's the one place on earth
That heaven has kissed
With melody, mirth,
And meadow and mist.
May your troubles be less
And your blessings be more.
And nothing but happiness
Come through your door.
May your thoughts be as glad as the shamrocks.
May your heart be as light as a song.
May each day bring you bright happy hours,
That stay with you all year long.
For each petal on the shamrock
This brings a wish your way
Good health, good luck, and happiness
For today and every day.
May your heart be warm and happy
With the lilt of Irish laughter
Every day in every way
And forever and ever after.
Now sweetly lies old Ireland
Emerald green beyond the foam,
Awakening sweet memories,
Calling the heart back home.
May the blessings of light be upon you,
Light without and light within.
And in all your comings and goings,
May you ever have a kindly greeting
From them you meet along the road.
May brooks and trees and singing hills
Join in the chorus, too.
And every gentle wind that blows
Send happiness to you.
Wherever you go and whatever you do,
May the luck of the Irish be there with you.
May you be poor in misfortune,
Rich in blessings,
Slow to make enemies,
And quick to make friends.
But rich or poor, quick or slow,
May you know nothing but happiness
From this day forward.
May the face of every good news
And the back of every bad news
Be toward us.
Like the goodness of the five loaves and two fishes,
Which God divided among the five thousand men,
May the blessing of the King who so divided
Be upon our share of this common meal.
May you have food and raiment,
A soft pillow for your head,
May you be forty years in heaven
Before the devil knows you're dead.
The health of all Ireland
and of County Mayo,
And when that much is dead,
may we still be on the go.
From the County of Meath,
the health of the hag.
Not of her but her drink
is the reason we brag.
Your health one and all,
from one wall to the other,
And you outside there
speak up, brother!
May the strength of three be in your journey.
May peace and plenty be the first
To lift the latch on your door,
And happiness be guided to your home
By the candle of Christmas.
May your right hand always
Be stretched out in friendship
And never in want.
May there be a fox on your fishing hook
And a hare on your bait
And may you kill no fish
Until St. Brigid's Day.
May you live all the days of your life.
- Jonathan Swift
May the grass grow long on the road to hell for want of use.
May there be a generation of children
On the children of your children.
May you have warm words on a cold evening,
A full moon on a dark night,
And the road downhill all the way to your door
Here's that we may always have
A clean shirt
A clean conscience
And a punt in our pocket.
May you live to be a hundred years,
With one extra year to repent!
May I see you grey
And combing your grandchildren's hair.
May the Lord keep you in His hand
And never close His fist too tight.
May your neighbors respect you,
Trouble neglect you,
The angels protect you,
And heaven accept you.
Mothers [fathers] hold their children?s hands for just a little while...
And their hearts forever.
May you live as long as you want,
And never want as long as you live.
"It is better to spend money like there's no tomorrow
than to spend tonight like there's no money."
-P.J. O'Rourke
Here's to a long life and a merry one.
A quick death and an easy one.
A pretty girl and an honest one.
A cold beer-and another one!
May the grass grow long on the road to Hell for want of use.
Here's health to your enemies' enemies!
May you have the hindsight to know where you've been
the foresight to know where you're going
and the insight to know when you're going too far.
Health and a long life to you.
Land without rent to you.
A child every year to you.
And if you can't go to heaven,
May you at least die in Ireland.
