A Greenville man was arrested on multiple charges after a car and foot chase in Spartanburg County Saturday.
Nathan Christopher Self, 34, of 14 Hicks St., was charged with failure to stop for a blue light, reckless driving, assault and battery and two counts of hit and run with property damage, according to online jail records.
A Spartanburg deputy in the parking lot of Peachwood Center received information that Duncan police officers had been in a chase with Self, that Self had crashed his car and Self was running away, according to an incident report.
The deputy then saw Self running across the parking lot and the deputy moved his car to intercept him, the report states. Self jumped onto and over the hood of the deputy's patrol car.
The deputy began chasing Self on foot and when he caught Self, Self punched him in the face. The two began wrestling and the deputy was able to hold Self until other officers arrived to assist in handcuffing him, the report states.
Self was taken to Spartanburg Regional Medical Center for treatment of injuries sustained when he wrecked his car, the report states. He was then taken to the Spartanburg County Detention Facility, where he remained Sunday on a $2,542 bond.

The situation has literally come to guns for members of the Eagle Town Board and the Gypsum Town Council.
But not to worry.
On Thursday, Oct. 25, members of the two boards have scheduled a sit-down meeting at the Gypsum Shooting Sports Club. The plan is for some informal discussion followed by a shooting interlude.
According to Eagle Mayor Yuri Kostick, the get-together was prompted by his recent appearance before the Gypsum Town Council to discuss the town's decision to halt the Costco revenue sharing agreement beginning next year. Kostick said as he spoke with the town council members, everyone agreed both the Eagle and Gypsum communities would benefit from increased communications. They also noted that it would be a good idea to approach the gathering as more of a social gathering versus a board meeting.
"We are neighbors and we shouldn't be strangers," said Kostick.
He noted the Oct. 25 meeting doesn't have a formal agenda.
"We will see if we can come up with some things we can work on together, at gunpoint if necessary," joked Kostick. "It's very Western, isn't it?"

French sculptor Auguste Rodin broke the mold when it came to portraying his primary subject, the human body. The conventional artistic style when he entered the field, in the mid-19th century, was idealistic, utopian. He chose instead to create figures that were more realistic and, well, human.
Dr. James Chang appreciated this naturalness when, as a Stanford undergrad, he spent time at the school's Rodin Sculpture Garden. That interest intensified while he was in training in plastic and reconstructive surgery--and continuing his visits to the Cantor Arts Center on the Palo Alto campus.
Chang realized that many of the hands in Rodin's works show evidence of medical issues. These range from stiff joints to Dupuytrens syndrome, in which one or more fingers bend palmward but can't be fully straightened.
Now a Stanford professor of plastic surgery and orthopedic surgery, Chang found a way to pair art and science for an undergrad seminar. That in turn has inspired a new exhibition at the Cantor called "Inside Rodin's Hands: Art, Technology, and Surgery." The multidisciplinary show will run April 9-Aug. 3 at the museum, 328 Lomita Drive, Stanford.
Visitors can experience Rodin's fascinating sculptures the way Chang's students do, as teaching tools. It starts with evaluations of perceived conditions in the artwork that are written by the professor and his students. Photographs of actual patients' hands with those conditions show how surgery can correct them.
One of the tech elements is the "augmented reality" that results from 3-D scans of the sculptures combined with CT scans of patients' bones, nerves and blood vessels. With the aid of an iPad, visitors can check out various angles of what lies beneath the bronze hands.
There are also videos depicting virtual hand surgery, as well as illustrations from medical texts published between the 16th and 18th centuries that helped earlier med students study hands.
Altogether, the innovative exhibition proves Chang's observation that "artists and surgeons appreciate human anatomy with equal passion."
Admission to the Cantor Arts Center is free. It is open Wednesday through Sunday, 11 a.m.—5 p.m., Thursday until 8 p.m. Parking is free on weekends and after 4 p.m. weekdays. Dr. James Chang will discuss his part in this exhibition in a free lecture taking place 6:30 p.m. May 29 at the Cantor auditorium.

5- a debug.log file excerpt, or you can zip the whole file. this file can be found in the application directory, or if you have UAC and Vista activated, likely found in the Windows temp directory

Trying to stream 1080p preferably with dts but have tried without. Have tried both on my single core and my dual core and even tried hooking up directly between the ps3 and my dual core with a crossover cable. The transcoding buffer cant seem to keep up with the movie. Even if I pause the movie till it is full it eventually runs out. I have tried everything I can think of, I am kind of new to this so I hope it does not seem stupid. I have tried messing with all the settings in the media server to downgrade the quality and lower the bitrate but nothing seems to help. All the 720p tv shows I download work fine even from my single core. But 1080p movies I cant seem to do it. I have spent the last 8 hours trying to figure this out. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Other than this, so far I love this program. I should note that these are all mkv files that I am attempting to play.

Eagle Claw hopes to hook Southern California anglers on new TroKars
LONG BEACH There was an interesting dynamic happening Wednesday at the first day of the Fred Hall Fishing Tackle, Boat and Travel Show in Long Beach.
Anglers were stacked three and four deep at the booth manned by Corey Sanden and his crew. They were gobbling up Sanden's newest styles of MC Swimbaits like albacore in the port corner of a sport boat during a wide-open bite.
Across the aisle, Eagle Claw, makers of the only fish hook continuously made in America since the 1920s, received a residual bump in attention. Sanden showed the anglers the new weighted Eagle Claw TroKar swimbait hooks with a spring keeper, and described the hooks as very good matches to his swimbaits.
"The hook is a size bigger than the actual 8/0 Owner hook I designed the bait to fit, but it fits it, and I really like it," Sanden said.
That endorsement couldn't have come at a better time for Eagle Claw. Always a competitor in the freshwater game, Eagle Claw has mounted a big push into the saltwater arena with its new Lazer TroKar hooks that are the world's first surgically sharpened hooks.
Over in the Eagle Claw booth, category manager Matt Gray and manufacturing representative John Florance, who recently relocated to San Diego, marveled at the symbiotic relationship that developed between MC Swimbaits and Eagle Claw. But one man didn't quit smiling all night Wednesday, and that was Tenny Mount, the hook's designer.
"It was really Lee McGill (grandson of Drew McGill, co-founder of Eagle Claw with Stan Wright) who challenged me to make this hook," Mount said. "He said if you want a better fish hook you're going to have to design it yourself. I believed in the hook. I'm the second-worst fisherman in the world. But when I used it, I found that I had a 95 percent hook-up-to-land ratio. If I can have that kind of ratio landing fish, it has to be the hook."
Drew McGill is credited for coming up with the idea and the name for Eagle Claw. As legend has it, McGill was fly-fishing on the Upper Colorado River when he spotted an eagle land on a dead cottonwood tree above him. He watched the hawk latch onto the dead limb with his sharp talons. McGill looked down at his hooks, ran one across the leather of his fish creel, but the hook didn't penetrate the leather. He then took pliers out, curved the point like an eagle's talons, and that day the hook, the name and the legend was born.
Now it's men like Mount, 63, of Portland, Ore., who are carrying on the Eagle Claw tradition with new innovations. Mount's father, Paul, is the man holding a stringer of trout in the photograph on the famous package of Eagle Claw snell hooks. Paul Mount worked for Eagle Claw, and his photo on that package is one of the more recognized in the business.
"For years and years I tried to get the company to do needle-pointed hooks, but we kind of refused to because we felt it wasn't the correct technology for us at the time," Mount said. "But when I was challenged with creating this new design, we came up with TroKar. What I really like about this new point is that we were able to go extreme, extreme sharp along with extreme, extreme heavy durability. We have sharp and durable on this hook."
Tenny and Eagle Claw were convinced after a few fishing trips, including one to Costa Rica.
"That's where we had that 95 percent land ratio for dorado, sailfish, roosterfish, wahoo, everything across the board," Tenny said. "The hook-up ratio to land ratio became pretty much the same. We were convinced it was the right technology and right hook point."
Here in Southern California, the Denver-based Eagle Claw already has signed up some top captains to use the hooks. Tenny said the Royal Polaris, Shogun and Intrepid have signed on. On Wednesday night at the Fred Hall Show, Eagle Claw hosted a two-hour meet-and-greet with any captain in the fleet who was at the show. They received sample hooks, a TroKar boat bag and a presentation on the new hooks.
"We're doing really well with our TroKar freshwater hooks with pro bass fishermen like Skeet Reese, Brent Chapman, Gerald Swindle, Shaw Grigsby and Jonathon VanDam," Tenny said. "Saltwater is our next challenge. We had to invest in new machinery and grinders to be able to grind the bigger sizes. We're still working on another grinder, and by June, we'll be grinding bigger sizes."
South Florida fishing captain Blair Wiggins of the popular TV show, "Addictive Fishing," is a big believer in the effectiveness of the Eagle Claw TroKar hooks.
"It's the sharpest hook I've ever used," Wiggins said. "Setting a hook on a tarpon is like setting a hook into this table, they're so tough. The first time I used it I had some prototypes. I had about 24, and the guy I was fishing with stole 15 of them from me. That's when I knew they were special."

Netherlands, 2007, 80 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Drama, Family Issues
Programs: Contemporary World Cinema, Women + FilmLanguage: Dutch English Sub-Titles
Intimacy, isolation and their strange correspondence are at the heart of Stages, which contrasts – in the words of director Mijke de Jong (Bluebird, SDFF 28) – "two extreme forms of communication, noise versus silence," to gauge the effects of separation on a middle-aged ex-couple and their 17-year-old son.
Although divorced, Martin and Roos have yet to disengage. They meet for dinner in crowded restaurants to dwell on the circumstances that led to their split – as well as those surrounding their son Isaac's increasingly anti-social behavior. But amid the distractions of the public spaces they gravitate toward, they resolve little. Meanwhile, scenes of a nearly mute Isaac engaged in solitary (and quietly unsettling) pursuits stand in stark contrast to those in which his self-absorbed parents argue, ever more fiercely, about the implications of his withdrawal into privacy. When the worlds of parent and child finally meet, the distance between their inhabitants becomes all the more difficult to measure: inextricably tied, can they ever truly connect?
In keeping with the thematic dichotomy between the verbal and the unspoken, closeness and remoteness, de Jong juxtaposes an orderly narrative structure and Ton Peters' highly stylized camera work with her cast's semi-improvised performances – allowing, as she puts it, "the inadequacy of human communication" to "express [itself] in a different way."

Whether you're a beginner or a pro, it's easy to see why enthusiasts (plus the occasional dolphin or seal) flock here; keen to go wet and wild on the white-foamed breakers. Book a few lessons or perfect your art of finding that perfect roller.
Polzeath's award-winning beach
Low tide reveals a stunning, Blue Flag beach where sands stretch before you - ideal for family days out, buckets and spades in tow. There's also a smaller beach to the right known as Little Polzeath, popular for bathing. When the tide comes in, head home to your Polzeath cottage or into the village for a potter around the shops or perhaps a drink or bite to eat in one of the cafés or pubs.

Swap boots for clubs and seek out the fairways. There are some wonderful courses in the locality such as St. Enodoc's Church Course, designed by James Braid. Next door is the old church and Sir John Betjeman's grave - Polzeath was a favourite haunt of the late poet laureate and is mentioned in some of his verse.
Or swap clubs for wheels and cycle the Camel Trail, a disused railway line and leading attraction in northern Cornwall. Please find our self catering holiday cottages near Polzeath below.

Knitter's Review
October 1, 2009
Cat Bordhi sprang into the knitting world in 2001 when she self-published a simple little book about how to knit socks on two circular needles. She has since become a sock-knitting luminary renowned for her ability to see things in unexpected ways.
Today marks the official release of her newest book, a much-anticipated guide to yet another new way of knitting socks. This one promises to be the simplest yet, which might be why she used the word "insouciant" in the title. Can Cat really "do" simple?

Hope everyone had a good weekend!
Northern MN has had overcast skies but couple of days, the sun peeked through mid-day but temps hovering between 25 - 45 degrees.
With those temps, easy to just stay indoors but thinking about my next race: gasping for breath ........ well, I get my cold gear on & get myself on the mostly paved road which I really don't care for. I so miss my trails in northern AZ, yes with the snow & slush & mud at 7,000+ elevation.
So here I am, running on paved flat road, working on my endurance mostly, intervals & tempo runs & keeping a base of at least 10 miles. I hope to increase it to 12 miles by next week before my business trip back to northern AZ. Cold there too but warmer Phx is about two hours away :)) to visit the grandbaby & run a race or two, trail &/or road. My hectic work schedule keeps me traveling all over the SW but somehow I get in some running mileage.
It is a challenge to deal with the winter conditions but experience & maturity has its perks! Been active all my life & running is exhilarating! At 52 yrs young, I absolutely feel blessed for my health & the unconditional support of family & friends ......... including the awesome support system on this thread!
Thank you for your motivation everyone!
Congrats to all who ran a race & sharing your stories.
Stay safe & warm & healthy!

Webpro: so sorry to hear of the ongoing toe problem :(( but also of feeling the post marathon blahs :((
Can relate to it but just ease back into it after taking care of your toe. Your body is re-adjusting, confused about why 'no more long runs' & when you will be running those long runs again ......... it's ok. Give yourself some time to heal & recover. I started running again after my marathons with slow, easy runs each week, beginning 4 miles, then 6, then 8, etc...
Remember you have achieved your goal so no pressure. We get all gung-ho and can't wait for our next race ......... so we tend to not listen to what we tell others, "listen to your body." Stay focus, recover smart & you will be training smarter again soon! You did it once, I know you can do it again!
Trail runner
Tony~Motivaton is difficult enough after a big race, much less dealing with toe pain that continues to be a problem. So sorry! I remember only logging 14 measly miles for the month after my first HM in May. Decided to follow Jeff Galloway's suggestion of getting in my running clothes, then stepping outside the door to check on the weather, then walking to the end of the drive way, then running down to the end of the block to see what was going on in the neighborhood, and then as long as I was out, to keep going. Before I knew it I had run 3 miles. Each of the steps was a "little victory". I had to repeat this every other day for a couple of weeks to get into a pattern, but it worked. You will be back at it soon, and can't wait to read all about your upcoming St. Pete R 'n R HM training.
AZ~You are an inspiration! All the traveling and still finding time to log in the miles.
Ray~Congratulations on another great race and time! Wow -- your hard work has paid off big!
Steve~The mild November temps we have been enjoying has extended the biking season, but I bettter dust off the snowshoes/skis soon!
Mary Kay~Hope the Philly HM and visit with DD was great, can't wait to read your RR!
Welcome to all the new posters~sounds like you all have a lot of experience and wisdom to share!
Enjoyed perfect temperatures for an 8 mile run on the bike trail yesterday. Too much on my "to do" list, because I could have gone on for miles more. Normally, this time of the year the trail would be empty. So many bikers, runners and walkers taking advantage of the mild weather. They know it won't last! Looking forward to a family 5k run on Thursday before we sit down to dinner. So thankful for all the inspiration and sharing on this thread! Blessed Thanksgiving to all and run strong, friends!
Debra: I have been having trouble getting motivated to resume running after the Des Moines HM, so I've been hiking with our bike club and doing treadmill at the health club. I may also try Galloway's idea of getting dressed in running clothes and going from there. I did sign up for the Wisconsin HM for next May, so I better keep up the training.
az: I don't know how you do all those business trips and still get in your miles.
Welcome to our new members. We look forward to sharing our experiences with you and hearing about yours.
We'll see our granddaughter sometime after Christmas. They are alternating spending the actual day between our daughter-in-law's parents and us, and this year they will be at her parents in Iowa. It's a good arrangement for all.
A Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. We have much to be thankful for, including being active at our ages when so many of our peers are not. Do a Turkey Trot or something to whet your appetites, preferably to benefit a worthy organization. There's a new 5K this year in our town to benefit our area hospice/palliative care organization, put on by a family whose mother spent her last weeks in their care last year. They wanted to do something more tangible to show their appreciation, so they are putting on this race. They have lined up a long list of sponsors to help defray expenses.

Short run today: 4.10 miles, 39:52.
'Warmer' today, about 47 degrees, had to shed a layer when I did my minute walk. Had to walk when a couple of neighbor dogs came up barking, but hubby also informed me that the in-laws, and sister-in-law and her family are traveling here instead of us traveling 5 hrs for the weekend. YAY!! I WILL be keeping up with my running for sure. Love his family but keeping them 'busy' is a challenge as they are not active by any means. Nice temps and no snow predicted so we hope to take them walking or play WII ...........does that count? LOL!
Wish they had a turkey trot/run here but I'll run for sure. We aren't much into the holidays except for the New Year but really, we don't need a holiday to give thanks and we give food to help the food banks from going empty throughout the year no matter where we live.
Steve: when does the 'lottery' open for the Grandma's HM event?
Trail runner
az: The lottery opens on Monday, February 11th and runs for about 10 days. I missed the deadline two years ago, so now I register on the first day.

Hail, Mighty Masters! Had a really busy weekend and haven't caught up yet. So sorry! So glad you've been busy!
Philadelphia was wonderful and I will definitely do it again! Probably the best organized of all but also has the most difficult prerace to navigate if you're not familiar. Course was very scenic with rolling hills, none daunting. It had good cheer spots, music, and live high fives from Mayor Nutter who for some reason didn't recognize me. What?? I ran 3:1 for two miles, 2:1 for next 3 mi. and switched to 1:1s with a few 2 min. breaks. My gadgets all said my splits were under 12 min. Somewhere between 7 and 10, the one that was giving me notices jumped a mile and ended up recording the course as 14 mi. So, I relaxed and started taking pix. Probably burned 5-10 min. but thought I had the time. All programs had radically different times and distances. Official time ended up being 1 min. slower than Columbus. RATS! Live and learn. Still loved the race, though.
Of course I could be just a little biased. DD and I had a wonderful visit and ate/drank every good food neighborhood from Broad and Market Streets south. No sammys for us. *Kids* in their 30s have gentrified the area and the food scene is A-Mazing. If you go, be sure to see East Passyunk and Hawthorne and the Italian Market. DD was fantastically generous with time and pleasantries but she's clearly stressed beyond her personal limits. She promised to run me in AND actually showed up. That was a moment to remember and certainly made my last miles a lot easier. No cry face for me! but I did leave it all. Whole left leg was threatening to give out, hip to ankle. Mayor Nutter was still there at the Finish slapping high fives. I always liked his civic pride.
Left leg pain disappeared the next day but right leg is now screaming. Strange. I am very very tired but still high on the trip/race. Got some decent pix. You're welcome to view on fb: Mary Kay Chuey. They are public so friend request is not required but totally welcome. Hope to catch up on your fantabulous progress tonight.
Run strong and fierce, my friends!!

I haven't posted in awhile. I ran my 2nd 5K on 11/17/12 and was so excited about my improved time of 27:28!
I could not believe I ran that fast. I kept up my first 2 miles at an 8:36 pace, which I never ran in my life! I slowed down a bit on the 3rd mile because I didn't feel that I could keep up the pace. I was happy overall to say the least! It was a beautiful morning in Florida with temps at 8:00 am of about 62. Loved it!
Next 5K I have to learn not to start out so fast!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Haven't posted in awhile. Have been trying to get back to normal running activity after my broken foot. Finally ran a race (5k) last month and finished second in my age group (though my time was not what I had hoped for). I am going up to New Hampshire for Thanksgiving and will be going out for a run with my brother, son, and daughter-in-law. Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving.
Dan - Ha, I laugh (but also sympathize with how much this sux) at you needing to run the TM during deer season. Maybe that's why high viz wear has become so popular. Here in OH and KY it's hunting season also so I'll be sticking to the roads or running with a pack. Double Ha! Hope you and Debra get to meet! Glad to hear you're back to running regularly!!
Debra - A 5k under 30 min sounds great! You're so close at 30:31, it's just a matter of time. You'll kill that goal and need a new one soon!! Love your attitude!! Thanks for the well wishes on my Philly race. It was a great visit! Hope your Thanksgiving run and day with family was great!!
URun - Congratulations on your marathon!!!! Heat is nothing to play around with and we all know our body limits. Good decision to be cut back, IMHO. The fact that your time wasn't a whole lot longer was a huge success!
Sally - I know that feeling of loss at the end of the season. I'm there, also. I'm trying to remember this is a grand opportunity but am not feeling it yet. I trained last winter for my first HM on May 6th. A lot of the runs were inside but there were weekend afternoons when it felt fantastic to be out. Started with a group but just couldn't enjoy the dark cold morning runs. It might be easier if you could find a race in May. March weather can be great or windy but it's usually warm enough. Let us know what you decide?
GaryLewisPT - Amazed by your goal! What have you done so far? Have you been running a long time? Love hearing these stories bc there is very little info on what folks can expect from their bodies after 50.
Steve - Your bike club? Are you thinking of doing a Tri or Duathalon? I always have trouble posting also and get my best results when I'm up in the middle of the night. Hope you're post-race blahs break soon. "We have much to be thankful for, including being active at our ages when so many of our peers are not." AMEN! ...including being active at my age when I wasn't two years ago at this time. The hospice race sounds inspirational.
Ray - No worries, I was teasing about the weather. It's hardly your fault that it's warm there. Congratulations on your race time! Kinda fun to think we can beat PRs from many years ago.Did the
PGDave - Welcome and good luck with your goals!
SipSip - Welcome! Is your LV run the one in December? If you've finished 12 mi, you are ready. Trust you're training because you will do this!! I plan my race with almost sprint runs for the first two miles, a little slower for the next two miles and then race pace for the rest but I know I can do that and still finish bc I've run 6 this season. General advice is to run your race pace consistently for the first 3/4 of the race and then do a body inventory. If you feel the strength, pump it up but incrementally so you can still run the last mile.
MacDillMike - Welcome! You have accomplished a lot in a little time!! You must have been very fit!! You can run longer or you can run faster or you can build both but all this takes time. It sounds like you're priority has been distance. After your mudder, you can focus on speed. Look at times for men in your age group on races you'd like to do and compare. Balancing life demands is a problem. I haven't got an answer for that yet. I'm at a similar crossroad, trying to decide whether to complete a full or focus on speed. You can do both but it will take longer and I am not patient. Think I'll go for a full for spring and then work on speed.
justamaniac - Welcome! "My goal has been to make sure that I'll still be able to run when I'm 75+." I am right there with you.
Tony - So sorry about your toe. Hope this period of blahs gets it healing. Enjoy your Philly visit!! Wish I could be there, too!!!
az1414 - Along with everyone else, I am amazed at how you find time for runs with your travels and work. Wii used to be my only exercise before running and there are folks who think it's too much work, so yes, it counts.
kathruns - Great time!
Rich - What a great way to start Thanksgiving!
Bill - Congratulations on your race!
Thank you all for your wonderful support throughout this past race season! Many times the thought of being able to to report that I had done this or that and received your kudos is what kept me running.
Ran a 10k yesterday with a friend and then had dinner with her family. It was a good day. Felt out of breath from the beginning of the race and so. very. tired. It was asking too much to do that four days after the HM but live and learn. I gave up on time and just plugged on to finish, happy knowing that my friend was way ahead and would be very happy with her race. Ended up with a PR. It was only 2 min. shorter but it was so unexpected. I never was happier to see the end of a race but am very pleased with this season and am looking forward to next year. Goals: Run a 5k in under 30 min., Run a HM in under 2 hr. Run a full. It may take more than one year but that's what I want.
Run strong and fierce out there!

Hi everyone!
Changed my name on my profile.
Last minute travel plans for Thanksgiving: ended up driving 5 hrs to ND to spend the holiday at the in-laws instead.
I was visiting an elder couple when the elder wife had a mild seizure.
Daughter and elder husband thankful that I was there and knowing what to do.
I have had similar experiences over the years so just kept her calm (including the daugher/sons/husband) while waiting for the ambulance.
Apparently, she has had other incidents. Good news: she was okay and being monitored when we left for home.
It has been snowing since Thursday in ND and MN but not much wind which is great!
I have not run since last Monday but planning on running tomorrow ............ hoping it is not windy.
Will be back in AZ this coming Saturday so I hope to pick up my training for my 10 miler race on Dec. 16th!!
Hope each of you had a wonderful holiday.
Stay warm and safe running!!

RICHMOND -- The first patient tiptoed to the chair Friday morning at Peres Elementary School, her arms rigid at her sides, little fists clenched.
"Would you like a boost?" said the dentist in the white coat, eyebrows raised and reassuring. The girl nodded.
With a hearty groan, the dentist picked up the 6-year-old first-grader and nestled her into the blue foamy chair.
"Now we're going to polish your teeth and make them pretty." A smile crept onto her face.
Dr. Daniel Tanita has done volunteer dental work for the children at Peres since the late 1990s, devoting his time, expertise and chair-side manner to help improve the dental health of thousands of kids who live in Richmond's Iron Triangle community. His unswerving commitment to helping improve the dental health of children has been a driving force behind the restoration and expansion of the clinic at the school.
When he started volunteering at Peres in 1997, he gave dental checkups in a converted janitorial closet.
"We had one little chair and no windows," Tanita said, chuckling. "But it was a start."
Friday marked the culmination of a longer journey to permanently ensconce a full-service dental facility within an elementary school, a novel idea that Tanita said may be the only one of its kind in the state. In his offices, Tanita can do everything from applying resin sealant to kids' teeth -- a vital preventive measure to stave off cavities and decay -- to fillings and extractions.
In late September, school and community leaders marked the opening of a full-service dental clinic just inside the school's front doors. The facility has a reception room and two full-service chairs, and is equipped with all the tools of modern dentistry, able to deliver free care to more than 500 students. Tanita works here for free about nine hours per month.
The clinic was built with a $500,000 investment from Measure D, a school construction bond passed in 2010. It runs with one part-time administrative staff member and the free labor of Tanita, his friend and colleague Michael Stokes, and a staff member from each man's private practice.
"It's a sustainable model," Tanita said.
Stokes agreed. The son of one of Richmond's first African-American dentists, Joseph Stokes, Michael Stokes has his own practice in Pinole and has volunteered alongside Tanita for years.
"(Tanita) brought me in," Stokes said. "With some dentists, getting them to volunteer their services is like pulling teeth," Stokes said, smiling at the pun. "But (Tanita) really enjoys what he does here, and I do, too."
Born in Arizona, Tanita, 64, has lived in the Bay Area for more than 30 years. He runs a full-service private practice in San Pablo with a staff of seven, and is active in a number of West Contra Costa business and civic organizations.
But the pull to serve has always been strong, he said.
"Years ago, I found myself looking for an opportunity to reach out to a population in Richmond that had tremendous need, and I knew that some early dental work and education for the kids could make a big impact on their lives," Tanita said. "I am not sure exactly where it came from but probably from family. I always admired my grandfather, who was a Protestant minister and was really committed to helping others."
A few years ago, Tanita's little clinic hit a snag. He had to close because the school district could no longer afford a part-time clerk to keep track of records and appointments.
Tanita decided to call on a friend, and a patient, in a high place.
West Contra Costa school board President Charles Ramsey went to his dentist for a regular checkup, and what he got was an earful.
"Dr. Tanita pushed it hard, he said we had to find a way to reopen the clinic," Ramsey said.
Measure D's passing in 2010 paved the way for the new facility and helped rehire one part-time staffer. Now, with another bond measure, Measure E, passing last week, the district may be able to expand on the innovative idea and build more clinics at other schools.
What's key, Tanita said, is to prevail on the public that incorporating preventive dental care into schools is a viable approach to public education, especially in low-income communities where dental care may be unaffordable for most families.
When the little girl's exam was completed Friday, she was all smiles.
"You were very, very brave," Tanita said, smiling. "We are all very proud of you."
The girl put on her pink backpack and hurried back to class, getting a "goody bag" of toothbrushes and toothpaste on her way out.
"Sometimes there's some tears, always some nervousness, but we want them to have a good experience and look forward to coming back to the dentist," Tanita said.
Tanita noted that the child had seven teeth sealed and all her teeth polished, work that could set an uninsured family back more than $400.
Patient No. 2 of the day walked in. Tanita and Stokes would get to more than two dozen that morning.
The boy, age 7, had his fists balled up into his brown trousers. He wore a frown and looked down toward his sneakers.
"I can see you're a brave big boy," Tanita said, stooping down to the child. "Can you get in this chair and we can count how many teeth you have?"

About Us > Newsroom > Beaux Arts Ball Raises $2 Million for National Jewish Health
More than 1,100 people joined National Jewish Health to "Salute the Stars and Stripes" at the 2012 Beaux Arts Ball on Saturday, March 10. The event raised $2 million for the institution and the research and treatment of lung disease and injuries that veterans may face as they return from overseas deployments.
The Beaux Arts Ball, one of the most anticipated annual social galas in Denver, brought the celebratory feel of the 1940s, post-World War II era back to life amid the backdrop of the antique airplanes at Hangar #1 at Wings Over The Rockies Air and Space Museum in Denver's Lowry neighborhood.
The Morgridge Family Foundation returned as the 2012 Beaux Arts Ball Presenting Sponsor. The 2012 Grand Marshals were Colleen and Javier Baz, Sharon and Lanny Martin, and Sheila and Hassan Salem.
Platinum Sponsors were Joyce Zeff and U.S. Bank – Colorado, where Mr. Salem is president.
Gold Sponsors were Mr. and Mrs. Baz, Mr. and Mrs. Martin, and Platte River Ventures, which Mr. Martin founded and where he currently serves as managing director. Other Gold Sponsors include Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck LLP, Rebecca and Lewis Kling, MDC/Richmond American Homes Foundation and The Piton Foundation.
Attendees included Governor John Hickenlooper, Denver Mayor Michael Hancock and Colorado Adjutant General Michael Edwards. United States Sen. Daniel K. Inouye of Hawaii, a decorated World War II veteran and recipient of the institution's highest honor, the Arthur B. Lorber Award, was unable to attend due to illness.
The Joint Service Color Guard from North American Aerospace Command and U.S. Northern Command presented the colors to kick off the dinner festivities, which included live music from Frank Sinatra and Andrews Sisters impersonators, acrobats dangling from hoops down the center of the museum's airplane hangar, and dance performances.
Guests contributed more than $53,000 for four live auction items, including two get-aways at Four Seasons Hotel Denver and Four Seasons Resort Vail; a dinner for 10 with Robert Parker Jr., world-renowned wine critic and founder of The Wine Advocate; a destination club vacation from Inspirato at one of its luxury resorts worldwide; and a private dinner in Los Angeles with acclaimed actor Donald Sutherland and his wife, actress Francine Racette.
Each year, National Jewish Health sets aside a portion of the evening to raise money for a specific program at the institution. This year, guests contributed more than $500,000 for the Post-Deployment Lung Health Center, a new program at National Jewish Health created to pinpoint the causes of lung injury and post-deployment diseases in returning U.S. military veterans and find optimum treatments.
Several surveys have suggested that warfighters returning from Iraq and Afghanistan suffer asthma, bronchiolitis and other severe respiratory diseases at about twice the rate of veterans stationed elsewhere. The causes of their lung diseases remain mysterious, but may be related to exposure to noxious chemicals and particulate substances in the environment.
Dr. Richard Meehan, a Battalion Surgeon in the Navy and National Jewish Health Chief of Rheumatology and Professor of Medicine, introduced Retired Army Maj. Scott Weakley and his family. Maj. Weakley, who served multiple deployments in the Middle East, has been diagnosed with constrictive bronchiolitis and has been told a lung transplant will allow him to survive.
"I do believe that there is hope," Weakley said in a video broadcast at the event. "That's what keeps me going – this sense of what is going to happen in the future, not only for me, but most importantly for those who are coming back who don't have the opportunities to have great healthcare at institutions like National Jewish Health and the VA."
The 2013 Beaux Arts Ball will be held on March 9 at the Hyatt Regency Denver at Colorado Convention Center. For more information, contact Laura Gillespie Lhevine.

Use Encrypted Thumb Drives
Note: It is best not to store sensitive university data on a thumb/flash drive. The risk of loss is too great, and there are several secure cloud-based options that are preferable. For departments, the difficulty of controlling distribution and the updating and retrieval of authoritative copies of institutional data makes their use problematic. See the Sensitive Data Guide for help identifying the right storage location for your sensitive data.
If you need to store data on a USB flash drive, purchase one that has encryption software that is already built-in. As of February 2014, vendors such as Kanguru, Lexar, Imation, Kingston, and SanDisk say they offer USB thumb drives with encryption support either built in to the hardware or available via software that is pre-installed on the thumb drive.
Note: IIA has not evaluated these vendors and cannot confirm their claims regarding encryption capabilities.

Middlebury College to Kill New England Review
This hits home for me in a few ways -- NER was one of the first lit mags I ever read, because at the time I became interested in such things, the local college library subscribed (and still does). As a teenager, I attended the Bread Loaf Young Writers' Conference, met the managing editor, and got her to sign a copy of the magazine for me (for a while, NER was known as The New England Review & Bread Loaf Quarterly, and I still tend to think of it as NER/BLQ). Later, I attended the adult version of Bread Loaf, and though NER's official relationship with the conference was less by then, many of its staff members still attended, as well as numerous writers it had published.
NER was also one of the earliest supporters of Best American Fantasy, and I'm thrilled that BAF 3 will be reprinting a story they first published (no, I still can't release the list of stories -- we're still trying to get rights to a couple).
Most literary journals survive either through institutional support or from major donors. Some people have argued that literary journals are outmoded, useless, filled with mediocre writing, etc. Some are. But not NER -- it's one of the great ones. Its mix of poetry, fiction, and nonfiction is among the best and most diverse in this country.
I hope that whoever is in charge of this decision at Middlebury will reconsider; if they don't, I hope NER is able to find a new home that is worthy of it.

AbbotOfUnreason: that just may be the point --- to get what is an outmoded method of publishing or managing (including marketing) the mag into the 21st C. May also mean all the overhead costs would still be provided by Middlebury, but that the operating budget need to be budget neutral. Not so illogical or perhaps funny.ReplyDelete

SACRAMENTO -- With local school districts failing time and again to recognize and report suspected child abuse, an East Bay assemblywoman is introducing legislation to beef up training of school employees and give administrators more power to remove abusive teachers.
Assemblywoman Joan Buchanan, D-Alamo, cited the extensive reporting on the problems from the Bay Area News Group as she announced Tuesday the introduction of a pair of bills aimed at shoring up gaps in current law. Exact language of the bills has not been finalized.
"It is clear from the work of (this newspaper) in investigating this problem, as well as our own research, that legislation is needed," Buchanan said in an email to Bay Area News Group, which recently published a survey of 94 districts' child abuse reporting practices, showing that many did not adequately train employees.
In recent months, horrifying incidents of school abuse -- and districts' repeated failures to respond appropriately -- have emerged around the Bay Area. A San Jose principal was found guilty late last year of failure to report suspicions of abuse to authorities as state law requires, the first school official in the state to be convicted.
One of Buchanan's bills, AB 1338, would require all districts to adopt board policies outlining child abuse reporting responsibilities and require them to review those policies with all employees each year. A second bill, AB 375, would give school districts the ability to immediately remove teachers from classrooms in child abuse cases and would allow school districts to dismiss such teachers any time during the year.
A youth law expert said Buchanan's child abuse reporting bill is a "step in the right direction," but he said board policies are not the only problem.
"Current law already requires that teachers sign a statement acknowledging their duty to report suspected abuse," said William Grimm, senior attorney at Oakland's National Center for Youth Law. "A large part of the problem is the district's failure to provide training that helps school staff understand what should be reported. Until training is mandated for all school staff, there will continue to be victims whose suffering goes unreported."
In response to the news group survey, fewer than half the districts in Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties that responded to the survey said they offer employees the type of training that experts encourage and the law suggests: annual instruction in recognizing signs of sexual or other physical abuse and reminders of the legal requirement to report to authorities any suspicion of mistreatment.
Survey results underscored that vagueness in the law has exacerbated districts' failings, and at least 19 districts reported practices that run counter to the letter or intent of the law.
Only 29 districts said they have provided annual training about abuse and the law to all employees. Current law "strongly encourages" training without saying how often it should be provided, but experts agree it should be frequent.
Buchanan's efforts to address teacher discipline and dismissal may prove to be the most controversial part of her package. Past efforts to alter the law and streamline the process have failed amid strong union opposition, with Buchanan and others voting down legislation last year.
The issue resurfaced recently after a Brentwood special education teacher was convicted of child abuse and then transferred to another teaching position.
After this newspaper revealed the district paid a $950,000 settlement to the family of the 5-year-old special needs student who was kicked, the community protested, and district officials apologized for their handling of the teacher. The superintendent was eventually fired, and the teacher's credentials were revoked.
Carol Carillo, executive director of the Child Abuse Prevention Council of Contra Costa County, praised Buchanan's bills but said the state also needs to provide additional money to child welfare departments so they can follow up on increased child abuse reports.
"Unless this legislation has some funding to help that process," she said, "then it isn't going to really benefit children in the long run."
The teacher dismissal bill has competing legislation from State Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Pacoima, who introduced Senate Bill 10 after a similar bill was shot down last year in the Assembly education committee, with Buchanan voting against it.
California Teachers Association spokesman Mike Myslinski said the union hasn't yet determined its positions on the bills.
State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson, who could not be reached Tuesday, conducted his own statewide survey and has promised to support legislation in the wake of the news group's reporting.

Boys and their Peens
I open one eye and ask him what's up...
He says his penis hurts.
Ugh. I do NOT know how you dudes walk around with those things!!
Before he whips it out I say: "Boy. This is your father's department. I don't have a peen so my only advice is put some polysporin on it." (My solution to everything).
The husband took him and his peen to the doctor and tonight he comes home and I ask him if he had to show "it" to the doc...
Very excitedly he says "Yup! It was sooooooo cool!"
What the Hell?!
I ask "Why was showing the doctor your penis, cool?"
He goes: "Moooooom. You know, because normally you can't show your penis in public and the doctor was kind of public so that was cool."
And so begins my fear that he'll become a trenchcoat sportin' flasher.

Men love to show their alter egos. Let's face it, they whip them out against the sides of tall buildings, trees, by the side of the highways (trust me, I always look)...they constantly touch and squeeze their peenies just to show them they care and that the little monsters aren't alone in the world.
And, my sweet Colie, most men don't drop their cell phones in the loo like some women do because they can pee standing up and talk with their free hand.
Then, they just give Mr. Peenie a little shake, zip, and they're done!
But, I agree with you; how DO they walk around with those appendages just kinda hangin' around all the time?
I'd ask my hubs but I'm choosing to ignore him at present..

hahaha, no ma'am, that has nothing to do with him becoming a flasher in the future, maybe he'll just end up like me, enjoying nudity in public places without a shame in the world. It's much better than just surprising the public with a quick flash of your junk. You simply remove clothes, sit down and read the paper. Not a care in the world.
Trust me, it's better accepted than being a pervy flasher.

BOJ Beat: BOJ Wins Round 1, But Clash With Economists Goes On
The Bank of Japan appears to have won the first round of its clash with private economists over inflation forecasts for this business year ending March, with the economists having recently revised up their forecasts closer to the central bank's figure. But the battle shows no signs of ending anytime soon.
Private economists believe the BOJ is overly optimistic in thinking it won't need fresh easing measures when the sales tax goes up in April. Some have suggested the central bank will be cornered into having to take more action in the spring.
Economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal said a planned Y5 trillion ($51 billion) stimulus package announced by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Tuesday won't be enough to offset the adverse effects of a rise in the sales tax to 8% from 5%.
The central bank, however, has become increasingly confident in the strength of the economy's recovery. Its quarterly tankan survey released Tuesday showed business sentiment among big firms at the highest level since the global financial crisis that began in 2008.
But a BOJ report released Wednesday showed consumer sentiment worsened for the first time in three quarters, as higher energy costs started to sap public optimism in the absence of significant wage rises. Changing public pessimism is critical to the central bank's efforts to end deflation.
While none of the 10 economists surveyed expects the BOJ to make any changes to its key monetary policy at its two-day policy board meeting ending Friday, they remain skeptical that the BOJ will be able to achieve its 2% inflation target in two years. Many suggest further monetary stimulus will be introduced in April.
The central bank has said the sales tax hike won't derail the recovery or its efforts to achieve 2% price growth, dismissing the need for further easing to coincide with the tax rise.
Japan's core consumer price index, excluding volatile fresh food prices, rose 0.8% in August from the same month a year earlier. That prompted private economists to raise their forecasts closer to the central bank's 0.6% rise on average for the current fiscal year ending March.
People familiar with the central bank's thinking say it sees the index going as high as 1.0% by the end of this year. But private analysts still see any such a rise — driven largely by higher imported energy costs — as unsustainable.
The continued difference between the views of the central bank and private economists is unwelcome for the BOJ, suggesting it has failed to persuade them about the viability of its outlook. (Senior BOJ officials periodically meet with private economists to explain its policy stance.) Such a reluctance to embrace the BOJ's views could be a destabilizing factor for markets.
"Debate over whether the BOJ should take additional steps may flare up in January, and market expectations for more measures could strengthen in late April when the BOJ releases its outlook report," said SMBC Nikko Securities bond strategist Mari Iwashita.
She said even if the government spends Y5 trillion on a stimulus package to cushion the impact of the sales tax hike, the economy is only expected to grow only 1.0% in the next business year starting April. That is less than the BOJ's forecast of 1.3% growth, which takes into account the effects of the sales tax, but not those of the stimulus package announced Tuesday.
BOJ Gov. Haruhiko Kuroda is likely to welcome the decision to raise the tax when he speaks Friday after the end of this week's policy board meeting.
Mr. Kuroda has warned that a loss of confidence in government efforts to put the nation's fiscal house in order could cause a spike in long-term rates, making it tough for the central bank to take effective action.
"The decision will create more leeway for the BOJ to take additional steps as the risk recedes of its massive bond purchases being seen as debt-financing," said Yuichi Kodama, chief economist at Meiji Yasuda Life Insurance.
The BOJ's unprecedented easing steps introduced in April have freed it from political pressure for the time being, but some predict that pressure to act could resurface when the government raises the consumption tax.
"Pressure on the BOJ to take coordinated steps will increase toward April," said Naohiko Baba, chief economist at Goldman Sachs Japan.
Mizuho Research Institute senior economist Takehiro Noguchi echoed this, saying: "Since both the government and the BOJ are working together to escape deflation, the central bank will consider necessary action on monetary policy."
The analysts also agree that the BOJ's large-scale easing has so far has had little effect in prompting banks and investors to shift investments into riskier assets — something the BOJ wants to help achieve its 2% inflation target.
"There are few signs that banks, insurers and pension funds have shifted investment into lending, stocks or foreign assets," said Daiwa Securities senior economist Maiko Noguchi.
RBS Securities chief economist Junko Nishioka said one likely option for additional easing would be for the BOJ to expand its purchases of risk assets — such as exchange-traded funds and real-estate trusts — along with steps to extend the current easing timeline beyond the end of 2014.

Federal Student Aid is part of the U.S. Department of Education, and is the largest provider of student financial aid in the nation. Over 15 million students will receive financial assistance through this program. These come in the form of federal grants, loans and work-study funds.
FAFSA is generally filled out online in either English or Spanish, and can be intimidating for many of us. Several documents are necessary, and the application is detailed and lengthy. But the process is well worth the return.
College in Colorado can help with the application process and a representative will be at the Eagle Public Library to offer free, personal assistance.
On Monday, Jan. 14, from 6 to 8 p.m., College in Colorado representative Jamie Burciaga will be on hand to do just that. Parents and high school seniors may attend, but pre-registration is required. Several forms, such as identification, tax returns, W-2s, and bank statements, will also be necessary, and personal laptops are encouraged. The library will provide a limited number of laptops for use during the program.
Eagle Public Library is very fortunate to have Anne Leavitt on its staff. Anne works at the library most evenings and she brings a special expertise from her tenure as a school guidance counselor at Eagle Valley High School for many years.
Anne highly encourages families to look at collegeincolorado.org. There are a wealth of resources, including test preps, college profiles and online applications. College in Colorado was initiated by the Department of Higher Education (DHE), which serves Colorado students by promoting access to affordability of, and success in, higher education.
The library also has a nice selection of books on the college admissions process.
If you are interested in the Jan. 14th program, registration is required and you will need to bring in specific paperwork. These documents include ID, tax returns, W-2s, and bank statements.
Please drop by or call the library and ask for me, Anne or Dale at 328-8800 for more information about required documents and to register for this worthwhile program. Space is limited, so please contact us at your earliest convenience.

Going-Concern Warnings Decline
The Big Number: 545
That's the number of companies receiving a new going-concern warning from auditors for 2011.
The ranks of companies getting new warnings from their auditors about their ability to continue functioning as a going concern have been thinning since 2007, and hit a 12-year low this year.
Just 545 companies that didn't receive going-concern warnings the previous year got one on their 2011 annual reports, down from a peak of 1,177 in 2007, according to research firm Audit Analytics.
Companies have "gotten more resilient after the recession," said Don Whalen, the firm's director of research. He added that many struggling companies entered bankruptcy, merged or were taken private during the financial crisis.
Businesses that do receive a going-concern warning are finding it tougher to get rid of them in the following year. Just 198 companies were able to shed their going-concern warnings in 2011, the lowest number to do so since Audit Analytics started collecting data in 2000.
"The economic climate right now isn't allowing people to improve," their performance enough, Mr. Whalen said.
Auditors issued going-concern warnings to 2,658 companies in 2011, or to about 17.7% of all audits. The total number of warnings fell 9.2% from 2010 and represented the third consecutive year of decreases in negative opinions.
Investors are frustrated by what they perceive as a decline in the accuracy of the going-concern notices, saying they didn't get enough warnings during the financial crisis. Auditors are sometimes hesitant to give them amid concerns the notices could become a "self-fulfilling prophecy," said Joseph Carcello, an accounting professor at the University of Tennessee.
U.S. and international regulators have been looking at ways to improve the process this year, such as having auditors produce more frequent going-concern opinions or look at periods longer than 12 months.
