1. Yes to social networking, no to MLM: 00:46
Because of a matter involving some people I know, I ended up taking a look at Success University. I have to confess that as much as I love social networking, I find that multi-level marketing gives me the heebie-jeebies. While there are somewhat respectable examples of it (Tupperware?), it still makes me nervous. I think that there's too much of a danger of it taking money from the people who can least afford it and who are least qualified to make the most of it, because it appeals to people's greed. While there are some people who no doubt manage to get themselves rather comfortable lives that way, I think most people don't even break even. Sure, it depends on how much effort you put into it, but I wouldn't want to build a business empire on the backs of people's mistakes!
Anything that focuses more on recruitment than on the actual product makes me want to run. I don't care if the product is the best thing since sliced bread. I am *not* going to see my friends and contacts as just "prospects", and I am not going to dedicate my off-time to chasing after leads. I am *not* going to evangelize greed, and I do *not* want to clutter the Internet.
I don't want to get rich quick. I want to get rich slowly, learning lessons along the way. I want to grow sustainably. I want to learn how to manage money as I go along. I want to be able to teach other people how to grow as well. I can't just depend on luck or my personality. I can't just convince people to do something that benefits me and doesn't work out for them.
I'm getting really bad heebie-jeebies about that one... It might be okay with some of my friends, but it's really just not my thing.

I'm a triathlete and tend to get some pretty nasty calf & leg cramps from swimming, especially on longer swims. From reading the forums it looks like I should bend/relax my knees more. Maybe it just takes me longer for the blood to move from my swimming muscles to my legs? It's frustrating because it takes a while for the cramps to subside and my then my competition is too far ahead on the bike to catch. I eat 2 banans a day, strech, and drink tonic water. Any suggestions would be great.
Sometime, the transition from water to land and especially vice versa will cause cramps for no apparent reason. Your broad scope answers include things like hydration, electrolytes, and stretching. After that, sometimes it feels like dumb luck... like you've covered your bases and still get the cramps. Bananas are great, but won't make you immune. Be consistent with the above items, and hopefully, you will get them less frequently.
Try some stretching and strengthening. Bent knee for strength training and extended knee for stretching. Otherwise you'll be engaging your soleus instead of gastrocnemius.
I used to get these too, tried everything but nothing worked. Then a physiologist suggested that simple exhaustion / overuse is the main cause of cramps.
They only happened to me during sprints at masters practice, when I use the legs a lot. During a race I barely kick at all to save energy so I never had a problem. Perhaps you need to 1) swim more often, 2)do strength training for those muscles, and 3) learn to swim with a 2 beat kick for races.
Good luck!
I am guessing that you are not a swimmer but rather a runner or biker. I usually fine that when I train triathletes they can run and bike but have difficulty swimming. When they try to swim they over emphasize the use of the muscles and this causes cramping. When you kick there is a power phase and a recovery phase to a kick sequence. The kick originates at the hip and has a downward snap to the kick. The leg is then relaxed which allows you to recover raising the leg to the starting position. There is a knee bend to the kick. More than likely you are keeping your leg tensed throughout the kick and the constant tension is causing the cramping. Of course check your potassium, hydrate, etc. and if this is not happening with any of the other exercising you are doing then I would believe that its what I previously stated.
Hi Jonathan
After I posted last night I was getting ready for bed and stretched pointing my toes. Imagine this, my one calf started to feel like it was going to cramp. I am betting that while you are swimming you may be continually pointing your feet/toes. This is going to tighten your calves. In swimming we teach floppy ankles so your muscles stay relaxed. When I teach adults I often have them use swim fins. It gives additional power, helps you feel the stroke, and with the form of the fin it will allow you to develop a better kick. Hope this offers some help
Calf cramps are among the most painful types of cramps. They can come on suddenly and without warning. Considered a skeletal muscle that can be voluntarily controlled, the calf is among the most common muscles to cramp. A cramp is described as a sudden and involuntary contraction affecting one or more muscles. There are many different causes of calf cramps, but the good news is there are steps you can take to help prevent them from occurring, as well as recommended treatments if a cramp does occur.

By Wade Bourne
Several years back, a friend and I were hunting with a guide and another party of four hunters we hadn't met until joining them in the blind. Action had been slow most of the day, but it was picking up in the hour before shooting time ended.
Suddenly the guide spotted a flock of mallards on a path that would carry them near our spread. "Those ducks will work," he said, and he started calling. In response to the guide's highball calls, the 30 or so birds cupped toward our pothole. Somehow, a lone drake managed to pull several yards ahead of the flock, and he was coming in fast.
As the greenhead sailed into range, my friend rose and dropped it cleanly. However, the other ducks flared out of range and escaped without anyone firing another shot.
If looks could kill, my friend would have died on the spot. The guide and other hunters were models of self-control, but their stony stares got their message across. The guide finally said, "It would be best if you waited until I call the shot."
Deciding when to call the shot affects hunting success, enjoyment, and safety. Before a hunt begins, hunters should agree on who will be responsible for calling the shots. Usually this person is the lead caller, who has to keep up with the birds to call them effectively and therefore is usually best able to judge when they are committed to land or when they will pass over the decoys within shooting range. Thus, the lead caller usually has the best "feel" for when shots should be taken.
With this duty comes the responsibility to keep other hunters in the blind informed and prepared to shoot. It's not fair for hunters huddled back in the blind to suddenly hear "Take 'em!" when they are not anticipating the shot and don't know where the birds are. This situation leads to confusion and delay in getting on target.
A better example of how a shot caller might communicate with hunting partners would sound something like this: "They're swinging behind the blind. Get ready. . . . Off the right corner now. . . . In front. Shoot 'em!" Thus informed, other hunters know where to look when they rise to shoot.

On April 11, 1915, the first Lutheran service of the Missouri Synod was conducted in Tolley by Rev. William Hartman, a traveling missionary. In September 1915, a "call" was made for a resident pastor and on September 19, 1915, Rev. Fischer preached his first sermon.
In the fall of 1916 on October 22, a group of Lutheran families met to organize Trinity congregation. On November 5, 1916, the original constitution was presented and adopted.
During the first years, services were conducted in the Augustana Lutheran Church of Tolley. In January 1928, a building committee was appointed and the present building was dedicated on November 11, 1928.
A self-study program was done in 1964 and it was decided that Tolley and Flaxton should become a joint parish. Due to declining membership, the joint parish was dissolved in 2014. In January 2016, Trinity became a joint parish with Our Savior Lutheran Church of Minot and they are currently served by Rev. Paul Krueger, senior pastor of Our Savior.
By the grace of God, Trinity Lutheran Church has enjoyed the blessings of God for 100 years.
On June 26, 2016, a Day of Celebration will be held with a 4:00 p.m. service conducted by former pastors, Reverend Joel Brandvold and Reverend Lester Wolfgram. Following the service a meal will be provided. Everyone and anyone, including members, former members, families, and friends are invited to join in the celebration. Please come and join them for this joyous occasion.
Northstar CritiCair holds ambulance aircraft training
At the April training for the Mohall Ambulance Service, with Tolley Ambulance, Lansford Ambulance, and Sherwood Ambulance Substations, the Northstar CritiCair fixed wing airplane flew into the Mohall Airport. Members of the ambulance services received valuable training on assisting the flight crews with the loading and off loading of patients into the airplane.
Even though the Northstar CritiCair helicopter was not able to come up that evening, ambulance members received training on landing procedures for the helicopter for both daytime and nighttime flights. With the flight crew of paramedics here, they also provided refresher training for the ambulance members on the use of their CPAP machines.

Versa Court installed at basketball court in Mohall
This past Wednesday, May 4th, members of the Mohall Park Board, their spouses, and a few volunteers installed the new Versa Court on the basketball court which is located just south of the Mohall Pool. Last September, UCC (Unlimited Concrete and Construction) out of Souris poured the cement slab for the court and then installed the baskets, and new grass as seeded around the court.
The basketball court has been a nice addition to that area and provides a great place for the kids to hang out and play some basketball or just work on their shooting or dribbling skills.
A reminder that the court is for everyone's enjoyment and must be shared by all those who use it. Please make sure that you have tennis shoes on when playing on the court and there should be no pop or food on the court, as well as no bikes or wheeled vehicles.
Take pride and respect what has been provided for you and clean up the area before leaving.

The Phones,
Wednesday, 12/31/1986
Magic Mountain, Londonderry, VT
Set 1: Eyes of the World, I Heard It Through the Grapevine
Notes: This is likely the first time members of Phish performed publicly on New Year's Eve. A booking company telephoned The Joneses on New Year's Eve and asked them if they could play a last-minute show. Apparently not all members of the band were in town so they added Trey and Page and played the show as a combination of the two bands, called "The Phones." The lineup included Trey on guitar, Page on keys, Steve Drebber on drums, Dan Pine on drums, Tim "T.J." Johnston on bass, and Mark Jensen on percussion. Sound was engineered by Garrett Mead. While a setlist is not available, it is known that the show included Eyes of the World, Grapevine (I Heard it Through the...), and a Bachman-Turner Overdrive song.
Musicians: Trey Anastasio, Page McConnell, Steven Drebber, Dan Pine, Tim T.J. Johnston, Mark Jensen

About the Book
"Marisa de los Santos's Belong to Me is my favorite discovery of the past years: a terrific page-turner that's also poignant, funny, surprising and deeply heartfelt."
—Harlan Coben
"Complex, engaging, and surprisingly moving."
—Boston Globe
The sensational New York Times bestseller from Marisa de los Santos, Belong to Me is a gift for readers, an enchanting, luminous novel about the accidents, both big and small, that affect our choice of friend, lover, and spouse. A story centered around three very different suburban neighbors and what it truly means to "belong" to someone, this eye-opening, unforgettable book is the perfect book club selection—beautifully written, smart and sophisticated women's fiction that invites discussion as it touches the heart—and the ideal companion to de los Santos's previous blockbuster, Love Walked In.
Everyone has secrets. Some we keep to protect ourselves, others we keep to protect those we love.
Cornelia Brown surprised herself when she was gripped by the sudden, inescapable desire to move with her husband to the suburbs. Her mettle is quickly tested by her impeccably dressed, overly judgmental neighbor Piper Truitt—the embodiment of everything Cornelia feared she'd find in suburbia. With Lake, another recent arrival, Cornelia shares a love of literature and old movies—as she forms an instant bond with this warm yet elusive woman and her perceptive, brilliant young son, Dev. But there are shocking secrets and unexpected surprises lurking beneath the peaceful veneer of suburban life—and nothing is quite what it seems.

Evidence for the Implementation of the Final Solution: Electronic Edition, by Browning, Christopher R.Table of Contents

1. Semlin
After the male adult Jews in Serbia had been shot in the fall of 1941, the women, children, and elderly were interned in a makeshift camp constructed in the old fair grounds of Semlin across the river from Belgrade. The planned deportation to a "reception camp" in the east never took place, and by late March 1942 the number of Jews in Semlin had reached 6,280.94 On April 11, 1942, the head of the military administration in Serbia, Harald Turner, wrote to Himmler's adjutant, Karl Wolff:
Already some months ago I had everything that could be got hold of in the way of Jews in this land shot, and had all the Jewish women and children concentrated in a camp and at the same time, with the help of the SD, procured a 'delousing vehicle' that will now finally have carried out the clearing of the camp in some 14 days to 4 weeks....95
The 10-day reports of the military commander in Serbia document a steady decrease in the number of Jewish inmates in the Semlin camp between early March and late May. They register a population of 5,780 Jews--"mostly women and children"--in the "Jewish camp Semlin" on March 3, 1942, and this number declined to 491 Jews as of May 22. The reports cease to mention the presence of any Jews or even the existence of a "Jewish camp" in Semlin as of June.96 On May 29, 1942, Franz Rademacher at the Jewish desk in the Foreign Office wrote: "The Jewish question in Serbia is no longer acute."97 Ten days later the head of the Security Police in Belgrade, Emanuel Sch"fer, informed the commanding general in Serbia, Paul Bader, and the Military Commander Southeast, Walter Kuntze, that there was no longer a Jewish question in Serbia.98 And Schäfer reported to Berlin, concerning the "special Saurer truck" (Spezialwagen-Saurer)--Saurer was the larger of the two truck models used for conversion into gas vans--that the two drivers, Goetz and Meyer, "had carried out their special task", and therefore they and the truck were being sent back.99

Influenza virus infection is very common, infecting 20 - 40 % of the population in
most years. Influenza accounts for significant morbidity and mortality and considerable
economic burden. Each year, influenza infections are associated with hundreds of thousands
of hospitalizations and tens of thousands of deaths from other causes, including respiratory
and circulatory complications. In the United States, influenza is estimated to annually
result in more than three million hospitalized days, 31 million outpatient visits,
and $10 billion in direct medical costs. Additionally, the entire world is prepared
for the possibility of a pandemic influenza: a strain of influenza for which the entire population will be vulnerable. International
healthcare organizations and governments are developing strategies to deal with this
In 2006, Dr. Rush Pierce led the local pandemic influenza planning efforts for the City of Amarillo Department
of Public Health. Several interested Texas Tech University Health Sciences faculty
members were involved in this planning process, and in subsequent educational efforts
that followed. Also, a number of faculty members from various departments at the Texas
Tech University School of Medicine had pre-existing clinical, research, and public
health interests in seasonal and pandemic influenza. In 2008, Dr. Todd Bell and Dr. Rush Pierce began research protocols to study influenza in Texas Tech ambulatory
clinics in Amarillo. Later that year, the Dean Steven Berk designated the West Texas Center for Influenza Research, Education, and Treatment
(West Texas Influenza Center) as an official administrative unit within the Texas
Tech University School of Medicine for research, education, and clinical care in the
area of influenza.
Also in 2008, the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration awarded over $500,000
to the Texas Tech University School of Medicine, for construction of a Biosafety Level
2 laboratory in the Research Building on the Amarillo campus of the Texas Tech University
Health Sciences Center. In February, 2009, the West Texas Influenza Center laboratory
opened. This laboratory provides the research and administrative center of the West
Texas Influenza Center which conducts clinical, educational, and research activities
throughout the Texas Panhandle.
The mission of West Texas Influenza Center is to provide an interdisciplinary forum
at the Texas Tech University School of Medicine for research, education, and clinical
care of influenza illness. The center is composed of faculty members of the departments
of family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology; and
the Rural Health Research Group of the Marie Hall Institute of Rural and Community
Objectives of the West Texas Influenza Center include: (1) to provide a model of care
for the influenza patient using a large network of primary care physicians from West
Texas; (2) to develop an infrastructure for clinical research and study of new therapies
for the treatment of influenza and its complications; (3) to provide education to
patients and families in order to limit the spread of influenza; and (4) to establish
a clinical approach to pandemic influenza should such an epidemic occur.

Kim Jong-un, the bellicose supreme leader of North Korea, is saying or doing something almost daily to ratchet up tensions with South Korea and the United States.
Some people worry, but Korean War veterans - the guys who have been there and done that - seem more annoyed than worried.
Interviews with several veterans in West Virginia indicate that they don't think much of the young dictator and most favor tightening the screws to make him abandon development of nuclear weapons and long-range missiles.
Frame was only 19 when he went into combat in July 1950. He was a forward observer in an Army infantry battalion. It was a tough job, and he was shot twice, once in the left elbow and once in the mouth. He has two purple hearts, three major battle ribbons, a U.N. ribbon and a South Korean defense ribbon.
He says the North's sabre-rattling is bringing back a lot of memories.
The Korean War ended in an armistice (an agreement to stop fighting, but not to end the war), and looking back, Frame said, "I guess I accepted the way it ended." But he has mixed feelings, too.
He recalled that Gen. Douglas MacArthur didn't want to stop at the 38th Parallel; he wanted to keep going north. "And somehow, in the back of my mind, I think he was right, although at the time, the stakes were pretty high. It could have led to worldwide war. I have mixed emotions. It was barbaric at the time."
Now, 60 years later, he believes we should be pursuing two objectives in North Korea - nuclear nonproliferation (making sure the North doesn't export its expertise and materials) and nuclear disarmament.
He hesitates to comment on U.S. policies, but he doesn't like the fact that the economic sanctions hurt the civilian population ("the top dogs are going to eat"). On the other hand, he believes that we would be at war with the North if sanctions weren't in place.
He doesn't think we've responded appropriately to past provocations from the North. In 2010, for example, when the North sank a South Korean naval vessel and shelled a South Korean island in the Yellow Sea, we could have at least taken out the North's artillery battery, he says.
Jackson was 17 years old "and mean as hell," he says, when he landed in Korea in 1952. He was an Army "ground pounder," and he carried an M1. He was a corporal.
He has misgivings about the war and how it ended. He doesn't think we should have gotten involved in it in the first place ("it cost too many lives," he said), and he doesn't like the fact that it ended in an armistice. He would have followed MacArthur - "a great general" - and continued north of the 38th Parallel.
Regarding the situation today, Jackson says he doesn't think economic sanctions against the North are working, and he would support tougher action such as parking a U.S. carrier off the cost of North Korea, blockading the country's busiest ports, and redesignating North Korea as a state sponsor of terrorism. Those are steps suggested by a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI).
If the North invaded the South again? The United States should "put the bomb to them (the North) like we did in Japan. That would stop the little fella (Kim)."
Goff, a retired minister, enlisted in the Army immediately after high school. He went to Ft. Knox, Ky., for basic training and then on to Japan. He arrived in Korea two weeks after the North invaded. By war's end, he was a staff sergeant.
He was assigned to a self-propelled automatic weapons battalion, and he was on the front lines for 15 months. He was awarded a purple heart when he was wounded by shrapnel, and he has a silver star for gallantry in action and two bronze starts for valor in combat. He also has six oak leaf clusters, one for each of the six major campaigns of the war.
His unit's casualty rate was over 90 percent, and he's one of only five men in his original unit to not be killed or seriously wounded.
Looking back 63 years, he said, "I think it was good that we did go in" and help the South Koreans. If the United States had not confronted the communists on the Korean Peninsula, the communists would have gone other places. He thinks the Philippines might have been next.
That said, he believes the combined forces won the Korean War in 90 days, and we should have stopped once we pushed the North back to the 38th Parallel. But MacArthur wanted to move farther north. Intelligence reports said the Chinese would join with the North if we advanced, but the general didn't think the Chinese were capable. The troops went north, and the fighting continued for two years.
"MacArthur should have heeded the intelligence. Several thousand GIs would be alive today." It was MacArthur's "one big mistake."
In looking at the situation in North Korea today, Goff says he'd like to see China tighten its sanctions against the North. He also would favor additional U.S. action such as suggested by the AEI.
If the North does not capitulate, he believes, it will lash out, perhaps by invading the South. And if that happens, the United States will need to get involved again. He'd prefer that we limit our involvement to bombing runs, but he says we should do whatever it takes, including putting more troops on the ground.
Kovach was a Marine tank commander. He served in World War II, and when he returned home, he joined a reserve unit in Akron, Ohio. In 1950, when the North invaded the South, his entire unit was activated. After a month of conditioning in California, they shipped out, first for Japan and then for Korea. He says he "spent a lot of time in North Korea" as a tank commander.
"Going to war was the right thing to do," he said. "War is hell, but to keep our principles and the way we want to live, we certainly don't want to give in." He added, "We did the right thing. That's why I joined in the first place. I enlisted in the Marine Corps in'43. I did it to fight for my country."
He now regrets that the U.N. command didn't "finish the job" in Korea. "I don't think the North Korean people are bad, but the government is bad. I would have preferred we keep fighting and take all of Korea." But that may not have been possible, he adds, because the United States had cut its armed forces so much after World War II. It was "pathetic."
Kovach doesn't think we've done a good job of handling the North Korean problem, and he'd like to see tougher sanctions to achieve nuclear nonproliferation and nuclear disarmament in North Korea. He also favors tougher steps such as the AIE suggestions.
"In the last four or five years, we've not done enough to set them down. I want to get tough."
He doubts North Korea would start a war, but if it does, "I think we ought to whip them once and for all."
Sibray was a sergeant in the 1st Field Artillery Observation Battalion during the Korean War.
He's comfortable now with United Nations actions against North Korea, but he added that he doesn't think economic sanctions will necessarily stop the North. "I don't think they (North Korea's leaders) mind starving their own people."
He also doesn't know whether the Chinese can control Kim.
"I think we have to be very much on guard and if an attack on us is imminent, we need to hit them first and destroy their ability to hurt us."

You've likely heard the term "punitive damages" before, likely spoken with a certain angry froth about the lips. But what, exactly, does it mean? And under what circumstances might a punitive damages award apply?
First, let's deconstruct.
For our purposes, presume there are two main areas of law: criminal and civil, although, admittedly, "civil" law ain't always civil.
The nut of criminal law is that it deals with crimes and, if one is convicted (or pleads guilty to a crime), the state exacts its retribution. While crimes may be (and, in fact, almost always are, intensely personal), their prosecution is not; the state, and not the person against whom the crime was perpetrated, prosecutes the case. If and when a "perp" is convicted, the reckoning for one's misdeeds is in the form of time in the pokey and/or the payment of fines.
"Civil law" is otherwise and deals with disputes between people (although "people" is broadly defined in the law as human beings and/or "people-like" entities such as corporations). You cross me and I sue you. Plain as that. Unlike the case in criminal law, it is the individuals themselves (and not the state versus the accused) who are the disputants and most times what is being sought as a "remedy" is money (or, as lawyers like dress it up in its Sunday finery, "money damages"). Simply, you win and you get dough.
A "remedy"? Precisely what is that!?
It makes me think of Grandma's cure for whatever ails ya (or, if Grandma is a tippler, perhaps for whatever ales ya). And, in fact, a "remedy" is a "cure" of sorts. It is the law's way of making you "all better".
As a basic precept of civil law, if you are injured by someone, you are entitled to be "made whole." In other words, you are entitled to get what you should have gotten in the first place - or its money equivalent - or to be restored to your prior position. Thus, your remedy "cures" the wrong committed against you and gets you back to where you should have been had you not been wronged.
Two quick examples. Say I am minding my own biz while motoring down our scenic byways and an inattentive driver ploughs into my back end. I suffer a wicked whiplash and my ride ends up in the shop. I sue you for my damages: Restoration of my car, medical bills, pain and suffering, loss of income, etc. The theory under which I proceed is that I (and my damaged ride) are entitled to be restored to my and its prior condition; I should not have to suffered a loss because of your inattention and, like Humpty Dumpty, I'm entitled to be put back together again.
In a second example, say you and I enter into an agreement of one sort or another. You, without cause, decide not to honor the agreement and, instead, you breach it. I sue. What I will be seeking is the "benefit of the bargain," that is what I would have been entitled to had you not thumbed your nose at your obligations to me. What I am seeking is what I bargained for; what I shoulda/woulda gotten (or its money equivalent) had you owed up to your side of the deal.
So what then of punitive and exemplary damages?
"Punitive" damages, not surprisingly, based on the common origin of the word, are meant to punish. Similarly, "exemplary" damages are meant to make an example out of you - generally to encourage you or others similarly situated not to be a bad actor in the future.
Punitive damages are sort of the hermaphrodites of the law - not quite one and not quite the other; not quite criminal and not quite civil. They provide punishment in a civil setting beyond being made whole in the case of particularly nasty or egregious conduct.
Exemplary damages hold up the malfeasor (that is, the bad actor) as a example and punish him for exceeding the normal bounds. They are damages on an increase scale, awarded to a claimant over and above what will compensate him for his property loss where the wrong visited upon him was aggravated by circumstances of violence, oppression, malice, fraud or wanton and wicked conduct. In addition to punishing the bad guy for his evil behavior, and making an example of him, they are intended to solace the claimant for mental anguish, laceration of his feelings, shame, degradation or other aggravation of the original wrong. Unlike compensatory damages (that is, "actual" damages), punitive and exemplary damages are based on entirely different public policy considerations.
So when may punitive and/or exemplary damages be available? Simply in cases where it is proved that the party against whom they are sought acted willfully, maliciously or fraudulently and in so doing, caused the claimant harm.
One other thing of note; since exemplary damages are meant to punish what may be awarded against you or me as compared to a multi-national corporation may be wholly different things. In our personal lives being "dinged" for $100,000 would likely sting but the same punitive award against a giant like BP in the Gulf oil spill case would amount to little more than a gnat on Goliath's nose. Accordingly, the punishment exacted is often "scaled" to fit the pocketbook of the party against whom it is intended.
At the end of the day "punies" are justice too - just of a different flavor, meant to fulfill another policy and purpose.

Pasadena City College's porn professor Hugo Schwyzer admitted Thursday he had sex with students as recently as 2011 and said he has admitted himself to a psych ward for the fifth time this summer.
As a result of Schwyzer's admission, college officials issued a statement saying there would be an immediate investigation into his conduct.
Schwyzer, who last semester taught a class titled "Navigating Porn" and invited adult stars James Deen and Jessica Drake to speak to students, acknowledged he made the admission on the Internet in connection with Rosh Hashanah, the beginning of 10 days of atonement in the Jewish faith.
In an interview Thursday night from the Community Hospital of Monterey Peninsula, Schwyzer also said he'd been on a "manic high" for two days prior to his confession.
"I want people to have compassion for me and to recognize that if they are frustrated or angry with me I did ... things because I am sick," he said. "I'm a fraud."
A written statement on behalf of PCC, signed by General Counsel Gail Cooper, said the institution on East Colorado Boulevard does not "condone or tolerate such behavior by any faculty member."
On Tuesday a woman who identified herself as a former PCC student wrote on a blog about having sex with Schwyzer in his campus office in 2008. The former student said she knew of at least one other girl who also had sex with the porn professor.
Schwyzer said the woman's claim had merit, but he didn't remember the second student.
"I was fraudulent in that I stated it was wrong for older men to have sexual relationships with younger women," he said. "But in practice I continued to have relationships with women who were young enough to be my daughter and there's a lot of fraud and hypocrisy in that."
Known as a "male feminist" Schwyzer both wrote and spoke about how men themselves could help empower women.
"I think I was a terrible male feminist. I think I've damaged the brand of male feminism," he said. "No one can hate me more than I hate myself right now and I'm saying that as a mental patient in a psych ward."
In a statement issued late Thursday afternoon, PCC officials said the college would "act swiftly to conduct an investigation and hold Mr. Schwyzer accountable for his actions while an employee."
The student, who identified herself as "Megan Moore" said she enrolled in Schwyzer's History 25B class "Women in American Society" in spring semester 2011. After meeting for coffee at Starbucks on North Hill Street and Walnut Avenue, the student said she developed a relationship with Schwyzer.
After that, "We continued to meet for sex, sometimes in his office with the door locked, for the next seven months until I graduated PCC in December 2011," she wrote.
"Throughout his spectacular recent fall from grace Hugo has maintained that he never slept with his students after 1998,' she continued. "That simply isn't true. I know one other girl besides myself with whom Hugo was having sex the same semester."
In a July 31 interview with this newspaper, Schwyzer insisted he no longer dated his students and helped write the school's policy on sexual relationships.
"I've been warned not to talk about my past," he wrote in an email. "An earlier administration, well aware of my history with students, decided not to fire me and indeed asked me to write the college policy that forbade consensual relationships."
In their Thursday statement, college officials said that if their investigation determined the porn prof had sex with students he would likely be fired.
"All of us in the college are outraged by Mr. Schwyzer's statements about his conduct," the statement said.
In a email, Cooper addressed the porn professor's status with the college.
"Mr. Schwyzer is on extended medical leave initiated at his request," Cooper wrote. "Due to his right of privacy, we cannot comment on the reason. Generally speaking, an employee who is on extended medical leave does not come onto campus due to his or her condition. We do not expect Mr. Schwyzer to seek to do so."
Schwyzer said he might seek to file a claim of psychiatric disability.
"It could be an end around for them,' he said. "I'm looking very seriously at that option."

NEW ORLEANS—Those flocking to New Orleans can expect a wet Mardi Gras, but the city's biggest free show might not be the washout that once was predicted.
National Weather Service forecaster Freddie Zeigler says there's an 80 percent chance of rain Tuesday, with showers likely hitting in the pre-dawn hours along Louisiana's coast and moving into the metro area around sunrise.
Fat Tuesday kicks off with the parades of Zulu, which rolls at 8 a.m., followed by Rex two hours later.
Still, rain or shine, many revelers planned to hit the streets early Tuesday morning.
Carly Gerhard and a friend drove in from Philadelphia over the weekend. They plan to stake out a spot early along the parade route to experience her first Mardi Gras.

I'm running v1.10.5 on OS X. I know my network can handle at least 15mbps because i do it all the time on medialink. my problem is that when i set the 'video quality settings' to 'good quality' the bandwidth goes crazy and gets into the 80mbps area. even though the video i'm watching only needs about 5-6mbps to be in full quality. when I set it at 'Good Quality For HD Wifi Transcoding' I only get about 3mbps which is not good either. I have tried setting the bandwidth cap at 18 but it makes absolutely no difference.
What do I need to do to get my video streaming in the sweet spot of 8-15mbps

Ernst: $1,000 water heaters in Venice? True or false?
Published: Tuesday, January 29, 2013 at 4:21 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 29, 2013 at 4:21 p.m.
Amid the high-minded talk about goals and objectives, long-range planning, economic development and sustainability, it didn't take long to get to the $1,000 hot water heater.
This is a Venice staple.
In short, the story goes, hot water heaters cost more in Venice than anywhere else in the universe because the city building department's permits and inspections unfairly drive up the price.
The story came up again Monday as the Venice City Council met for an all-day strategy/planning session at Venice on the Isle.
As the discussion unfolded, the building department hits kept on coming.
Mayor John Holic called for a departmental change in attitude. Councilwoman Jeanette Gates said contractors feared retaliation if they spoke out.
"Partners for success is not a term I'd use with this department," said Councilman Bob Daniels, referring to the Partners 4 Success program designed to revamp the fees structure and relations with builders. "They should be partnered with economic development," he added.
Now wait a minute. Sure, the building department makes an easy target. Its employees are the ones who say you can't do it the way you wanted to, then they check to make sure you haven't, then they charge you for doing it their way.
No wonder people like to complain about them.
But this water heater business is not putting the kibosh on economic development in Venice.
And even the permit costs no longer stand out. They used to be an excessive $130. Now they're $80.
Councilman David Sherman had a story, from personal experience. A friend replaced her old heater with a top-of-the-line model. It was going to cost $625 installed, but her plumber offered a discount if she enlisted a few neighbors to replace theirs.
She did, and the group ended up paying $550 each, not $1,000.
The lesson for the day: If your plumber says your new hot water heater is going to cost $1,000 in Venice, don't blame the building department, hire a different plumber.
Although the building department has made a number of improvements, people still remember the old problems.
Better communication might help, which is why exercises such as the strategy session have value. They get elected leaders talking, not only among themselves, but with their staff. It's surprising how little they know about each other and the workings of the organization they head.
For instance, Daniels criticized the building department for not surveying its users to determine the level of satisfaction.
He did not know that customer response cards have been placed at the front counter for more than a year. Granted, they have generated only 13 responses. All but one was positive, and that one complained about the heat in the building that day.
The water heater anecdotes reinforce how it's often the little things that can sidetrack or undercut our objectives. So, in this case, the perception of how much it costs to replace a water heater becomes a symbol of how government interacts with its citizens.
And, that perception may not always be accurate, because it takes time for perception to catch up with changes.

Carlsberg Moves In on Myanmar
Heineken isn't the only one muscling in on Southeast Asia's fast-growing beer market.
Carlsberg said Friday it has formed a joint venture in Myanmar with privately owned Myanmar Golden Star Breweries to brew and market Carlsberg beers in the country. Carlsberg will own 51% in the new JV.
The move follows a deal last year by Heineken to buy out its joint venture partner, Singapore's Fraser & Neave, the brewer of Tiger beer. Heineken acquired the stake in Asia Pacific Breweries for 5.6 billion Singapore dollars ($4.55 billion).. F&N also has a joint venture in Myanmar, where it brews local beers such as Myanmar Beer.
Carlsberg's last big move in Asia was a $338.3 million acquisition of a 12.25% stake in China's Chongqing Brewery in June 2010.
In November, Carlsberg said its third-quarter revenue from Asia rose 32% from a year earlier, compared to sluggish growth in its main markets in Europe, including Russia, where Carlsberg has struggled due to tightening regulation on alcohol and intense competition.

Two months after falling off a ladder at his home, Menlo Park Fire Protection District Chief Harold Schapelhouman only recently returned from the hospital -- in a wheelchair and unable to walk.
District officials say he was doing yard work at his San Jose home May 11 when he somehow tumbled off the ladder and landed on the ground.
Schapelhouman was taken to the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center in San Jose, where he underwent an 11-hour back surgery two days later.
Fire district president Steve Nachtsheim told The Daily News on July 18, the day after Schapelhouman returned home, that the chief didn't plan to let a wheelchair keep him from returning to work.
"He made every indication that he was planning to come back to work, he just doesn't know when," Nachtsheim said.
Schapelhouman did not respond to phone calls requesting an interview.
He has worked for the Menlo Park Fire Protection District more than 30 years, which makes him eligible for retirement, said interim Fire Chief Douglas Sporleder, who was appointed May 16 to fill in for the chief by the district's board of directors.
"His life has changed. Clearly he's got a lot of things to think about, if he's going to return or if he's going to retire," Sporleder said. "Although I would say he's not considering retirement, he told me his goal is to come back."
Both district officials said the chief relapsed during his stay in the hospital's spinal cord injury unit, likely because he overexerted himself while trying to recover.
"It was his abundant need to overachieve," Nachtsheim said. "We're just glad he's home."
Schapelhouman had been rehabbing six to eight hours a day and doing "races around the hospital" in his wheelchair, Nachtsheim added.
Sporleder said the fire district board will have to choose another interim chief next month because his contract expires on Aug. 29. As a retired Santa Clara fire chief, Sporleder can only work temporary assignments while continuing to draw pension checks.
"The board will make a decision to bring in another interim chief ... or do a search to replace Harold if in fact that becomes necessary," Sporleder said.
Schapelhouman has been with the fire district since 1981. He has assisted in the aftermath of several national emergencies, according to the district, including the Oklahoma City bombing, the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, and Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.

Denali National Park and Preserve
The Denali National Park and Preserve quarter is the fifth of 2012 and the 15th overall in the America the Beautiful Quarters® Program. In 1980, the park was expanded from 2 to 6 million acres, including preserve lands, and the name changed from Mount McKinley National Park to Denali National Park and Preserve. Today's boundaries include the awe-inspiring 20,320-foot Mount McKinley, the tallest mountain in North America. The park's dynamic glaciated landscape supports a diversity of wildlife, including grizzly bears, caribou, wolves, Dall sheep and moose. Archeological evidence that dates back more than 12,000 years ago indicates Alaska's native people moved through this landscape seasonally, likely hunting large mammals, fishing and gathering plants. It was first established as a national site to protect wildlife populations on February 26, 1917 (39 Stat. 938).
The reverse design features a Dall sheep with Mount McKinley rising in the background. Inscriptions are DENALI, ALASKA, 2012 and E PLURIBUS UNUM. Design candidates were developed in consultation with representatives of Denali National Park and Preserve.

At the height of the Great Depression, after she and her husband lost all their sheep, Regina Echevarria (that's her in the photo) opened a Basque boarding house in Nampa, Idaho. They called it The Modern Hotel because it had modern amenities, like steam heat. Besides sheepherders and Basque immigrants, Regina's hotel catered to traveling musicians and businessmen of all races and just about anyone who needed a place to lay their heads.
60 years later, Regina's granddaughter, Elizabeth Tullis, bought a run-down Guest Lodge in Boise and named it after the original Modern. Elizabeth and her partner, Linen District developer David Hale, commissioned local architect Dwaine Carver and interior designer Kerry Tullis to do a complete renovation with all the modern amenities.The Modern Hotel Today
The result is a thoughtfully designed hotel that is as comfortable as it is eye-catching. Although the new Modern does not have steam heat, it does have air conditioning and wi-fi. Like the original, it's an independently owned, family-run business that caters to traveling musicians, business people and folks of all stripes in need of a comfortable bed and a friendly face. Sheepherders welcome, but please leave your sheep at home.History

The depths of Sage?
Robust had me download a song over a year ago entitled "Inherited Scars". No you have to understand, I live in this little pod of a town in eastern NY, right outside of Albany...so had it not been for this ONE song, I never would have falln in love with the music. I listen to all kinds of music, I even listen to country now...I know I know not the best thing to admit to in one of these rooms right? haha so feel my sincerity! Sage...your words hit a nerve in me...I don't know what it is, but everytime I'm by myself listening to your stuff (I have gotten into a lot of the other artists but you and the atmosphere have been the most inspirational to me) I have to have silence and I listen to the words over, and OVER, and OOOOOVVVEEERRRR again. No, I have never been to a show or whatnot, but it's really just a personal thing to me. I do plan on coming to nyc sometime to see some shows, but it doesn't matter if I see you live. Youdon't have to present all of your energy onstage because so much of it is in your words.
Today on my way home from Albany, I was driving and listening to "The Woman with the Tatooed Hands", and I had it on repeat. There is something about that song, maybe just the way you phrase things in how it just seems like you can see things that most people can't. That you can express things that most people don't even have the words for. This guy had me download it as a joke, later telling me how its all about some woman messin with herself. In an odd sense I think its one of the purest songs of thought that I have heard.
I just want to commend you for what you do, and tell you how incredibly admirable it is, for reasons I wont explain on this. But, if you can reach some girl out in the middle of nowhere on a dirt road with fields upon fields surrounding her who has always thought in an "unusual" way...then I think that that is something, but I don't know...at least I feel lucky. Hope all continues to go well for you, and I check stuff out on the intenet about your current stuff so Ill know. Thank you for the poetry Sage.

Sarah, so you know, "The Woman with Tatooed Hands" is done by Slug of atmosphere fame, they make nice music too.
But I understand what you're saying, I ran into Sage's music while I was living in a tiny town in the backwaters of the midwest.
That was a very thoughtful post.

futuristxen, thanx...see when I am just downloading songs off the net and stuff...they come under wrong names and shit so you never know. Regardless...the majority of the hip hop stuff I have is all atmosphere, sage, and aesop. but i have a mix of it all. I dunno, I just really love it and get into it my own way. I have always loved poetry, and thats exactly what this is. It's the first time I have ever heard it put together so well though and so thought out, I am not on here trying to kiss ass, because I don't know any of you all, I just think that those of you who make it and those of you who can appreciate it in your own way deserve a thanks for taking music to a whole new level.

In 1951, Bill Farac, then a rookie San Francisco cop, was visiting Martins Beach in San Mateo County with family and friends when he saved a young woman from drowning.
"A wave pushed us up against the cliff. She started to slip into the water," said Farac, now 86. "I picked her up in my arms and ran as hard as I could to safety."
A year later, the two were married.
Two weeks after the California Coastal Commission asked the public to submit details about their visits to the beach as part of a legal strategy to increase pressure on Silicon Valley billionaire Vinod Khosla -- who bought land nearby and put up "no trespassing" signs to the shoreline -- dozens of people like Farac have submitted stories, photos, diary entries and other evidence dating back more than 100 years.
The accounts are expected to be used by Coastal Commission lawyers to build a case that the beach south of Half Moon Bay was public for generations and that Khosla cannot legally block access now.
Yet as the accounts have come in -- many handwritten by people in their 70s, 80s and 90s -- the stories are turning out to be less a list of legal facts and more a deeply personal narrative of California's long love affair with Martins Beach and the coastline.
"We couldn't have anticipated this," said Sarah Christie, a spokeswoman for the Coastal Commission. "We're very touched by these heartwarming stories. They are going to help us build a great case."
So far, more than 60 accounts have been submitted, she said. The commission is still collecting more via a survey on its website at www.coastal.ca.gov.
The co-founder of Sun Microsystems, Khosla had purchased the 56-acre coastal property along Highway 1 in 2008 for $32.5 million. His staff closed a gate and a private road that the previous owners had used to allow public access the beach for many years, sometimes for a fee.
Khosla, 59, has said that he is entitled under his constitutional rights to close the gate, that he didn't need a permit from the Coastal Commission to do it and that the public didn't previously have free access to the remote beach, as it does other similar beaches.
But many of the people who have submitted survey information said they visited the beach for years with no fee and no problems.
"It's been used for so many generations," said Joan Meacham, who began going as a child in the 1940s. "Just because he has a billion dollars, he shouldn't close it off. It hasn't always been private. It's not fair."
Meacham, 72, is a retired pharmacy clerk who lives in Santa Clara. She said her family, including her parents and grandparents, used the beach as far back to the late 1800s.
"We were always going to that beach," she said of her childhood in Half Moon Bay. "We used to get up early in the morning and catch crabs there. When my husband and I were dating in the 1960s, we went on dates to Martins Beach."
Khosla is embroiled in two lawsuits over the property, the most recent from the nonprofit Surfrider Foundation.
In an interview with this newspaper last month, he accused his opponents of "blackmailing" him into giving up his property rights.
"If the story was right and people thought I was doing something wrong, I'd live with that -- it wouldn't bother me," Khosla said. "But there are massive lies and misrepresentation on the issues here."
The commission, which sent a "Notice of Violation" to Khosla in 2011, has been privately negotiating with him to reopen access.
Under a law signed by Gov. Jerry Brown this summer, the commission now has the power to fine property owners up to $11,500 a day for illegally blocking public beaches or violating coastal environmental laws. In theory, if the commission pressed its case and won, Khosla could face more than $20 million in fines.
"I don't know the reasons he closed it," said Bob Norona, 94, of San Jose. "If the public behaves, what is the advantage? If I owned it, it would make me feel good to see families enjoying it."
Norona, a World War II Navy veteran, said he visited Martins Beach twice a month during the summer from 1928 to 1934 as a child with his parents, brother, three sisters and cousins. The family would pile into several cars, including a 1925 bright red Jordan touring car, he said, and drive to the beach from San Jose.
They were never charged an entry fee, he said. Families would picnic and men would catch smelt with nets in the surf.
"You could always find somebody on that beach who had a big bucket full of batter," he said. "They would cut the heads off the fish and throw them in the batter, then put them into hot oil and cook them on the beach. We'd eat them like french fries. They tasted great. I only wish more people could enjoy the lifestyle we were so fortunate to enjoy. I've had a good life."

Marketplace: To Show or Not To Show
This lesson complements an NPR Marketplace segment exploring the effects of the rising costs of insurance for high-profile art exhibits since September 11.
Cost/Benefit Analysis, Decision Making, Insurance, Profit
- Identify factors that affect profit.
- Assess artists' marketability in order to predict success or failure for an art exhibit.
- Make decisions regarding the management of a business.
Marketplace, a daily economics news program heard on National Public Radio, featured a story on January 8, 2002 titled "Art Post-9/11." In this segment, reporter Beatrice Black explores the effects of September 11 had on the art community. In this lesson, students will be looking at the economic decision making of both art owners and the museums that want to display the borrowed works. You will also want to discuss with your students the benefits and costs associated with this type of arrangement for both parties involved.
Art Post 9/11: This is a transcript of the January 8, 2002 audio segment.
Art Museum Interactive Activity: This activity is not intended to simulate all the financial decisions and business practices involved in curators' work. Its purpose is to engage students in identifying factors that bear on the success or failure of certain business decisions.
Art Museum
$10 Billion to Host the Winter Olympic Games: Is it worth it?This is another great EconEdLink lesson that could be used to supplement this lesson.
The students will read the transcript: Art Post 9-11. They will analyze the following reading:
- What new considerations must a curator make prior to selecting an exhibit to show? [Insurance costs.]
- How are some galleries or museums responding to the new threat of terrorism? [By refusing to show large, expensive exhibits.]
Individually or in small group work, the students will act as curators of a museum.
As the curators of an art museum, the students are charged with the task of choosing a collection of work to highlight in an exhibit. They have been provided with three possible candidates: one unknown artist, one moderately-known artist, and one famous artist. The students will have to reflect on many economic factors to determine which of the three exhibits will be the most profitable for the museum.
They will then open the Art Museum interactive activity and follow the instructions it provides.
(This activity is not intended to simulate all the financial decisions and business practices involved in curators' work. Its purpose is to engage students in identifying factors that bear on the success or failure of certain business decisions. The dollar values represented here have been selected by reference to the costs of similar exhibits, but in some cases they have been artificially inflated or deflated to help demonstrate lesson objectives. Note that a text version of the Marketplace segment is attached, for use according to your judgment about student needs.)
To evaluate understanding of this activity, teachers can refer to the printed documents in the Interactive activity as well as the responses from the conclusion portion of this lesson.
The students will review all three outcomes and then answer the following questions:
- Was your chosen exhibit profitable? Why or why not?
- What factors most influenced the outcome of your exhibit?
- What events or factors had you not previously considered?
- Were you surprised by the outcome? Why or why not?
$10 Billion to Host the Winter Olympic Games: Is it worth it?
In this EconEdLink lesson, students learn about costs and revenues related to the '98 Winter Games in Nagano. Discussion questions about estimated benefits and costs to the host city are presented.
"This website provides wonderful economic tools."
