Bishop visits with students as part of big week
January 30, 2013
Bishop Jeffrey Monforton tried to engage some shy St. John Central preschoolers in conversation Tuesday by asking them if the penguins on the banner they made for him lived in the desert....
The Common Core creates standards that are the same in each state. Before the common core, all states created their own. Thus, students moving from state to state will be doing the same thing from school to school.
The common core takes knowledge away from memorization and moves more towards the students being able to the apply the information they learning.
A little google research will turn up, this is coming from the colleges and universities and big business. They are the ones that were asked "What do we need to do to improve our schools?"

Something tells me that your idea of education is also no short of an indoctrination, Stiff. The last thing we need is for schools to become like the media, where people like you get to pick and choose your facts.
As for Rat, if you look at teh many countries who out persoprm teh US in education, yuo will note that while they are doing more to incorporate applied skills into their curricula, their systems remain extremely focused on the introduction to and mastery of information. Applied skills are good, but they unfortunately only temnd to be useful the day they are taught and most often not applicable a few years later due to changing technology.

My name is Ramona Cruz and I want to tell you my loyalties are not divided. I know where I live and I know where I work and like many of us I make a living outside my community in our neighboring district. I consider myself fortunate that I have a skill set that I use every day and that it can benefit my community. I'm a CPA and work in local government, I have for 18+ years.
I'm taken back and disappointed at my opponent John Bergmann's statement in the Sierra Sun's Oct. 12 election section of why people should vote for him. I'm disappointed that he chose to include a sideways statement of why people should not vote for me and cast aspersions on my loyalty. I work for the TCPUD and have lived in the Kings Beach/Tahoe Vista area for over 26 years.
Both NTPUD and TCPUD are neighboring public entities and both provide sewer, water, and recreation to their community. By definition, they are not in competition with each other. Their books are open, there are no trade secrets, they govern in public, and with the mutual desire to serve the community in the best way they can. I want to use my skill set to serve the NTPUD. How is this divided loyalty?
Mr. Bergmann chose to include in his statement of qualifications a negative comment about me, suggesting I had "divided loyalty" and a hidden agenda. This is untrue, misinformed and absurd. Instead of doing his homework and truly considering these accusations with an independent determination of their truth, he chose to include them in his statement of why people should vote for him, instead of me.
Mr. Bergmann made a decision to play the most divisive game in politics by trying to instill fear, uncertainty, and doubt. He attacked my character, my morals and my loyalty. He does not know me.
The implication that I would interfere with grant funding between the PUDs is a direct attack on my moral character and professional ethics. Anyone who knows me or takes the time to know me knows this is preposterous. I hold myself to a high moral and ethical standard. I invite anyone to call my past and present employers, non-profit boards I've served on, the many organizations I've volunteered for and ask them about my character.
Yes, there are contractual and financial arrangements between both water districts that are mutually beneficial. What's wrong with this? Shouldn't we want to work together?
Of course we compete for qualified employees like every other public and private employer in the North Tahoe/Truckee Region. Isn't' this a good thing for the person seeking employment?
It's this kind of behavior that keeps North Tahoe isolated. We need to stop pitting ourselves against one another; this only distracts us from the real issues and from working together as a community.
I don't dispute Mr. Bergmann's qualifications, but he should be able to stand on his own merit without having to cast a shadow on me or my loyalty.
This low-road campaigning is an attempt to sway votes and does not offer up solid or concrete reasons of why the voter should vote for him rather than me. Campaign statements should be based on reliable accurate information and not on unsubstantiated comments. Let's all do our homework and put untruths to rest.
After reading this you still may not consider me the better candidate for NTPUD but please base that decision on facts and not on a sideways attempt to derail my character and question my loyalty.
Ramona Cruz is a candidate for the North Tahoe Public Utility District Board of Directors.

When Washington County voters head to the polls on Nov. 6 they'll see some new faces working their precincts, thanks to a successful poll worker recruitment effort by the Washington County Board of Elections.
"We got quite a bit of response from our recruitment process," said Peggy Byers, deputy director and trainer for the board of elections.
A total of 80 new poll workers were hired, including 40 teenagers who are part of Youth at the Booth-an initiative by Kids Voting USA, a nonpartisan, nonprofit civics education organization.
Through Youth at the Booth, one of the four poll workers at each precinct can be a high school senior, Byers said.
"Research has found that they will probably be lifelong voters" through this experience, she added.
Poll worker training in Washington County began Thursday and will continue through Oct. 13.
Fact Box
At a glance
Washington County will have 220 poll workers with positions for the Nov. 6 election, plus 150 extra Democrat, Republican or unaffiliated workers. Forty of these will be new poll workers.
There are approximately 43,000 registered voters in Washington County.
About 4,200 of the county's registered voters had completed early voting as of Oct. 4.
On years when there is a presidential election, voter turnout countywide is typically around 80 percent.
Source: Washington County Board of Elections.
As a senior at Marietta High School Corey Spanner, 17, of Marietta was eligible to be a poll worker. He said he jumped at the chance to participate in the upcoming election.
"I'm hoping to learn a lot about the process," Spanner said. "I watched the debate for the first time last night. Being in government class and this really helped me to be aware."
Sydney Crawford, 17, of Waterford, is a senior at Waterford High School. She and two other classmates were at Thursday's poll worker training.
"This will make me more interested in politics and pay attention when it's the first time I get to vote," said Crawford.
All training is being conducted at the Washington County Courthouse. Each session will take two to two-and-a-half hours to complete.
"We had a directive from the Ohio secretary of state that everybody was to be trained in person this time around," said Byers.
Those receiving training include 220 poll workers with positions and 150 extra Democrat, Republican or unaffiliated workers.
"That's so if people call off (on election day) there's plenty of people trained who could walk into those positions," said Byers.
Poll workers will learn how to position temporary doorknobs and ramps to make precinct locations handicapped accessible and where to place flags outside the building to mark the precinct's "no electioneering zone."
Those working the polls on election day must also remind voters to cover up any clothing that promotes a candidate or cause.
"You can't wear a shirt that says 'Vote yes on the levy' and walk into the precinct," said Byers.
During training poll workers will learn the ins and outs of operating a precinct-which requires four workers.
Three of each precinct's poll workers are seated at a table where voters sign in to vote and receive their ballots.
The two workers at either end of the table have the "signature book" and "clerk's book." Using the signature book, one worker compares a voter's signature to the signature the county has on record. The second worker gets the voter's ballot ready.
In the middle of the table sits the third staffer who serves as the ballot person verifier.
"(He or she) is looking over the shoulders of both people, double checking that both have written down the ballot number correctly. ...We don't want to give the wrong person credit for voting," said Byers.
A fourth roaming worker reminds voters to have I.D.s ready, checks the voting booths and assists voters if they have trouble getting a ballot into the machine.
Poll workers will know how to do all four precinct jobs after completing training.
"We ask them to switch during training so they can be cross trained, so they know a lot about the whole process," Byers said.
Poll workers will also learn how to operate and trouble shoot the M100 voting counting machine and the automark machine that helps visual and hearing impaired voters.
Currently there are about 43,000 registered voters in Washington County, Byers said. Of those voters, about 4,200 early voters had made their ballot choices by Oct. 4.
Byers said she expects an 80 percent voter turnout on election day Nov. 6.
"A presidential year is always very heavily voted," she noted.

It's been a little while, but we have the new Axilla to open first set. Still not quite comfortable with the ending on this one yet. Right into a solid Poor Heart, a rocking Maze, and a sweet finger picking Glide. Sparkle has a weak intro from Trey, but recovers nicely into maybe one of the first great Sparkle's from Fishman. Foam was pretty good, except some spots during the transition to Trey's solo part in the middle. Right into a good FEFY. This one is really developing well. And if that's not enough Rift material, have yourself some more with a reasonably tight ATR. Melt was pretty good except for, I'm assuming, a tape flip cut during the jam. Bouncing was pretty standard. YEM again? Well last night's had some bad spots, so practice makes perfect right? Mike teasing the HYHU was great. Trey messed up the God lyric. Good vocal jam based off of the "don't tell me" phrase. Great set overall.
Ripping Chalk Dust to start second set. Reba had lots of problems tonight. Rough opening section, rough middle, but a great ending jam. The Bag it, Tag it, lines included yelling OW! from the crowd and the band. Funny ending too. Llama was just ok tonight, strange as that may sound. Hey, Horn is back for even more Rift material. Not bad. Fish then goes into his part for My Sweet One only to be put off by Trey for another Vibration of Life segment after a Happy Birthday to Julie shout out. "Don't try this at home." Page says. After the usual noise he asks, "Do you feel it people?" They also play an evil Vibration of Death. Fish resumes his drum part with a vengeance for one of the fastest My Sweet One's I've heard. A little payback? More of the Rift material with a better, tighter It's Ice. Sounds like Fish was going into Hood only to have it waived off for a Fee. The first verse gets cut off, most likely another tape flip. Not too bad. The Bowie intro is long and funny as a much diminished sounding Odd Couple tease lingers on and on. The opening of Bowie itself is tarnished because of the foolishness again. Good jam though. I sense a Manteca tease from Trey that doesn't gain traction with the others about eleven minutes in. HYHU is accompanied with another song being teased by Mike that I can't figure out. Hang on Sloopy? Page seems to join in. Love You has great intros and a plug for J. Willis Pratt's album. Sounds like Mike is teasing Buffalo Bill. Coil is basically the closer tonight. Rough spots from Mike early on, but the usual great Page solo to wrap things up. Good set, now let's see how quiet we can get for Adeline. Lots of shushing for the guys who want to hear Suzy really bad apparently.
Runaway Jim is the only encore tonight. Pretty standard Jim here. Good jam.
Nice show overall. A few rough spots here and there. Lots of repeats from last night.

About Us > Newsroom > Helping Your Child Cope with a Medical Condition
Denver, CO – February 28, 2013 - Chronic illness takes a significant toll on children, but the psychological toll can often go overlooked. Children with chronic illness are twice as likely to have more emotional or behavioral challenges in comparison to healthy children.
Learning to live with a chronic condition can be challenging for a child, parents, siblings and friends.
Examples of chronic illnesses often seen in children and teens include asthma, atopic dermatitis, allergies to foods and/or the environment and diabetes.
"Chronic illness can interfere with the normal and happy experiences of childhood, and can deliver a real blow to a child's self esteem," said Bruce Bender, PhD, Head of the division of pediatric behavioral health at National Jewish Health. "For parents a child's chronic illness can be very difficult, frustrating and frightening. There are several ways, however, to reduce the toll chronic illness takes on a family."
Dr. Bender offers the following tips for parents helping their child cope with chronic illnesses.
Parents are likely to be the first to notice if their child is having difficulty coping with a chronic condition. Dr. Bender says parents should seek professional help if they notice any of the following:
"When children are distressed and unhappy, their illness may be harder to control. The good news is that help is available," said Dr. Bender. "We have a highly experienced group of behavioral health clinicians who can help to make sure that chronic illness does not prevent them a child from being emotionally healthy and happy".
National Jewish Health is known worldwide for treatment of patients with respiratory, cardiac, immune and related disorders, and for groundbreaking medical research. Founded in 1899 as a nonprofit hospital, National Jewish Health remains the only facility in the world dedicated exclusively to these disorders. U.S. News & World Report has ranked National Jewish the #1 respiratory hospital in the nation for 15 consecutive years.

I couldn't get this to do anything besides connect - everything had an 'expert' badge on it.
Just to be clear... This will do a bidirectional sync between Adressbook and Google Contacts. This includes groups and pictures! Even better, this functionality is free!
Just what I was looking for! Get definitely tired of all those sync programs which in fact doesn't work and tried SyncMate. Great Software must say! Works perfectly for me
oh, I own it! its free (a huge benefit)and syncs everything correctly. I use it almost every day and it works great!
I would recommend you to go to Eltima Software official site: http://www.eltima.com/products/syncmate/
There is also a forum where people discuss SyncMate work: http://www.eltima.com/forum/index.php?board=60.0
Moreover you can download SyncMate user manual here: http://www.eltima.com/download/manual/syncmate/syncmate_online_version.zip
After trying this one and Missing Sync, I decided to pay for the full version of SyncMate, it works much better with my HTC Touch. One thing I am not happy is the lack of documentation, I am trying to set it to work through wifi and couldn't find nothing related to it in their website, they could at least set up an user forum so their customers can help each other (and as a consequence reduce the load on their support emails, everybody wins)

I just happened to purchase a dell xps 15 a month ago which packs an i7 2670 and 8 gigs of Ram and an Nvidia Geforce 540 GT M. When i play a song and simultaneously open a new web page tab or a new web page, The sound stutters for 2 seconds, it doesn't happen all the time but more often than not it does. Its really annoying and depressing! I spent $ 1618 on this stupid machine! This problem never occurred initially but since the past one week it has surfaced! Another thing is that when I look at pics on facebook, They appear a bit blurred, especially if they've been taken from an average camera! I mean my 4 year old PC gives better display quality! And thirdly the sound aint that loud either! JBL speakers! I need help as to what to do! I did what people said and deleted MC Afee and installed AVG but of no avail, the stuttering still occasionally persists! Any response would be appreciated! P.S my laptop screen is a 1366x768 resolution Display.
Try posting about the audio in the Dell Laptop Audio Forum. There are members there that can help with the Audio.
When you removed McAfee, did you use the McAfee Removal Tool
What is a Dell Service Tag and how do I locate it?

Run the McAfee Removal tool to remove anything it may have left. Sometimes virus programs conflict with each other.
I use FREE Avast Home Edition It has a GREAT Real-time scanner.
I've got exactly the same problem. When I play music or even some videos and try to do something else at the same time it starts stuttering. It's reaaaally annoying. In my case it happens always. In this moment i'm in contact with the technical department here in spain looking for a solution. By the moment we already have reinstalled the last Bios and audio card drivers, but it didn't work. I'll tell you more as soon as know it.
Please answer me if you managed to fix the problem!!
Hey, My problem got fixed on its own, i didn't have to do anything, I just uninstalled mc afeee and installed avg free edition. My windows 7 also updated itself and ever since , the problem has ceased to occur, didn't have to do anything else, try it , Hope it works for the best .
Hey Rick-
Maybe we should try to get a Stickey in the forum about Dumping McAfee. Dell keeps putting it on all their PCs and McAfee causes more problems than it is supposed to prevent.. I keep seeing that time after time. I went through their infected update a couple of years ago, had to reformat my HDD and reinstall everything, and still had problems ever since. Finally dumped McAfee, went to Microsoft Security Essentials, and what a performance boost. Any of the TOP free antivirus would be good. One that includes malware prevention for other than just antivirus like MSE and AVG. Not sure if any other in the top free catergory.

A sticky cannot be used for this purpose. A Sticky is used to help provide useful information for the other members.
Some people like the way McAfee works and some ISP's offere this for FREE if yuou have their services. All members have different preferences for virus programs and other programs/software. The list would be a different kind of list. I use a different virus program from what you mentioned here and have NOT had any virus problems on my system. I selected the virus program because I like the real-time scanner and it has kept the computers in my home running virus free. I have seen viruses get past the ones listed above, so it's a matter of which one you like. I have tried the ones listed above on my own computer and the computers at work, where I am forced to use them, since I'm a restricted user there.
The OP problems can also come from a number of other issues, like running too many programs at startup, then it can also slow down the computer. A good article to read is...
Windows startup programs. What are they? Are they required? How can I disable them?
Yes, some programs running in the background will slow down the computer and that can cause stuttering. When using DVD's codecs are also needed to be able to view the DVD's.
Best advice is to ask other members on the forums.
I am very knowledgable (near your expertise) about the causes of OP problems, etc. I have been in the Dell Community since before the XPS 700 debacle and assisted GBAKMARS getting that problem resolved and worked to get RampantSpeculation started as a result.
I use a number of tools to keep my system clear. McAfee is a bad actor. ISP's have been sold a bill of goods and they get a fee from McAfee for any customers install the complete or advanced McAfee program(s). The ISP programs operate from the ISP server and are not installed on your computer unless you choose to do so. Then at renewal the customer has to pay to continue - the ISP gets a commision from that as well. So don't use the ISP as an endorsement for McAfee.
I have used McAfee for years until my latest subscription was about to expire. I have had many problems with McAfee. A couple of years ago McAfee pushed out an infected update that affected worldwide PCs. It took forever with McAfee getting the problem partially resolved. I had to Install Linux to clean up and get files not backed up off the OS HDD as Windows would not open. A clean format of the HDD and install of XP was required. Getting SP3 was difficult as the Dell installation CD did not include SP3. So all updates had to be installed. Finding some earlier updates required thrid party downloads before SP3 could be installed. Finally got things to work. McAfee was taking forever to scan even though set for 2AM scan start, it took about 8 hours. McAfee had extended my renewal for 2 years. So I stupidly stuck with it until early this year. I could no longer put up with McAfee other problems and program interfeerence. Hence ditching it for Microsoft Security Essentials. I am convinced no antivirus is better than McAfee.
I have the same startup programs after Dumping McAfee as before.
BTW: your link to McAfee Removal Tool info is not valid. I think this McAfee Removal Tool (MCPR.exe) link is more appropriate: http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?lc=1033&id=TS101331 And can be downloaded here: http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe The first thing is to remove McAfee with Revo Uninstall as it removes more completely than Windows Add/Remove Programs. Reboot. Run MCPR.exe. Reboot. Run registry cleaner from CCleaner or other good registry cleaner to remove left overs not removed by McAfee's tool. The MCPR.exe still does not completely remove McAfee. McAfee is a very difficult program to remove completely.
All antivirus programs are not foolproof. So, as I said in another post, any top rated free antivirus programs are good provided they also prevent most other spybots, worms, adware, trojans, other parasites, and other malware as well.
A Sticky would be very useful about this to everone: "A Sticky is used to help provide useful information for the other members." Getting rid of McAfee is one of the most helpful things I can recommend. Several have reported improvements with the game freezing issue after removing McAfee.
Thanks for providing the information. It's amazing that McAfee removed their Removal Tool. I usually like refering the people to the manufacturers website.
Your top link take me to some type of submit feedback on the article. If you caan find the page before the direct link, I would appreciate it. I like the member to see what they are downloading before they download a file.
You can start a conversation on McAfee at Dell Virus & Spyware Forums I'm sure the discussion will give many different opinions.
In my link the "link" adder in the reply editor added two extra components. The actual correct page is: (copy the text and enter in the browser location space)
The editor linker added " amp; " between the amper sign and " id": http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?lc=1033&id=TS101331
It may have done something similar to your link!
Can't imagine why this happens.
My other link is valid in that it provides the direct download link to MCPR.exe.
Thanks for the McAfee Dell Virus & Spyware Forum link. Sometime I'll put something there. Interesting. Is that info easily located in Dell support - I have not looked. I do not think people are aware of this nor look for it when they have system problems. That's why it would be good to have a Sticky to let people know about McAfee issues causing problems with their Dell computers. The problem may not show up until a program is loaded that causes McAfee hickups that cause crashes and whatnot.
I am not into all this on an everyday occasion anymore. I do but in when I am online and see where I can help or I think smoeone is providing bogus or weak information.
I have corrected the link above. I use bookmarks and my book mark could not find the page. McAfee has changed their website, so that is why it was not found.
Enjoy your conversation in the other discussion board.
Take care,
I'm nobody but even i know that McAfee is bloatware. It's much like a virus itself in that it slows your system, has software compatibility issues, redirects your browser, creates drama from the otherwise innocuous, and once it is installed you can never fully get rid of it. I've never had anything but issues with it and if I'm not careful after removing it it will reappear. I'd swear their marketing practices model the very entities which they're supposed to be protecting us from. They are not alone in this, sadly. Since I installed Microsoft Security Essentials I've had none of these issues. Plus, i don't have to buy the program every year or two. I'd have been happier if none of my Dell comps had come with any AV software or at least gave me an option to choose. There's a thought.

Hii, am also suffering from the same problem the machine is stucking for seconed while play a song or video do you advise to do the same like you?
and the problem doesn't appear again after uninstalling the Mcafee.
The technichal support here in spain has replaced my hdd. By the moment it looks like it has fixed the problem. No more stutters in two days. I´m still doing some tests but it seems everything work properly. They even have reinstalled Mcaffe, which obviusly i'll delete asap, and it works anyway.
Hi. Yes I did purchased the same junk and have same problem. I have called them and they did replace new mother bored and speakers but that did not help. I asked to replace the PC the did and it has the same problem. They do provide good service so I have to keep calling them to fix it until it is right.
I have full HD screen and seems to be working alright.
I had other problem too: when I close the lid while movie is playing I set it to sleep mode but in the few hours later on whatever was playing on it starts playing even when lid is closed.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms usually include both obsessions and compulsions. But it's also possible to have only obsession symptoms or only compulsion symptoms. About one-third of people with OCD also have a disorder that includes sudden, brief, intermittent movements or sounds (tics).
OCD obsessions are repeated, persistent and unwanted urges or images that cause distress or anxiety. You might try to get rid of them by performing a compulsion or ritual. These obsessions typically intrude when you're trying to think of or do other things.
Obsessions often have themes to them, such as:
Examples of obsession signs and symptoms include:
OCD compulsions are repetitive behaviors that you feel driven to perform. These repetitive behaviors are meant to prevent or reduce anxiety related to your obsessions or prevent something bad from happening. However, engaging in the compulsions brings no pleasure and may offer only a temporary relief from anxiety.
You may also make up rules or rituals to follow that help control your anxiety when you're having obsessive thoughts. These compulsions are often not rationally connected to preventing the feared event.
As with obsessions, compulsions typically have themes, such as:
Examples of compulsion signs and symptoms include:
Symptoms usually begin gradually and tend to vary in severity throughout your life. Symptoms generally worsen when you're experiencing more stress. OCD, considered a lifelong disorder, can be so severe and time-consuming that it becomes disabling.
Most adults recognize that their obsessions and compulsions don't make sense, but that's not always the case. Children may not understand what's wrong.
There's a difference between being a perfectionist and having OCD. OCD thoughts aren't simply excessive worries about real problems in your life. Perhaps you keep the floors in your house so clean that you could eat off them. Or you like your knickknacks arranged just so. That doesn't necessarily mean that you have OCD.
If your obsessions and compulsions are affecting your quality of life, see your doctor or mental health provider. People with OCD may be ashamed and embarrassed about the condition, but treatment can help.

Biofuels producers join forces
11.02.2013 - Seven leading producers of second generation biofuels have joined forces in an industry initiative to support uptake of their technology.
The initiative, named "Leaders of Sustainable Biofuels", aims at supporting the development of second generation biofuels as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels in Europe. The leaders of Chemtex, British Airways, BTG, Chemrec, Clariant, Dong Energy and UPM are joining forces to ensure the market uptake of advanced sustainable biofuels by all transport sectors. The Chief Executive Officers of the companies suggested biofuels were cost-competitive and had less environmental impact than fuels made from oil or natural gas. They argue that second-generation biofuels can reduce GHG emissions by at least 65%.
In contrast, first generation biofuels, made from corn, wheat, soy or palm provide only modest reductions in greenhouse gases and can push up food prices. At the initiative's launch in Brussels, the "Leaders of Sustainable Biofuels" demanded to accelerate research and innovation into emerging biofuel technologies, including algae and new conversion pathways, supported by public and private R&D programmes. They said it were important to develop worldwide accepted sustainability certification and to establish financing structures to facilitate the implementation of sustainable biofuel projects. The initiative aims at promoting the benefits of advanced sustainable biofuels and to address national policy makers, the European Commission and the European Parliament. The "Leaders are convinced that their biofuels are key for the reduction of fossil energy imports in the EU".

Our opinion: Yes to Lafourche water tax, no to Lafourche levee tax
Published: Wednesday, December 5, 2012 at 2:59 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, December 5, 2012 at 2:59 p.m.
Lafourche Parish voters will decide the fates of two tax issues on Saturday.
The proposed renewal of the Bayou Lafourche Freshwater District's property tax is necessary for the continued operation of a vital public service. It deserves your support.
The proposed 1-cent sales tax to pay for projects for the North Lafourche Levee District, though, is a different matter. That tax would pose a substantial cost to local people and businesses, and there has been no compelling case advanced in favor of the new tax. That tax should be rejected by local voters.
Freshwater tax — SUPPORT
The Bayou Lafourche Freshwater District is responsible for getting freshwater from the Mississippi River to about 300,000 people throughout our region.
That work is important. The water that comes out of your sink or shower faucet does not just appear at your home. It has to be pumped out of the Mississippi River and into Bayou Lafourche. From there, it goes to various treatment stations and into the system that takes it to your home.
Without the Freshwater District's tax, another form of revenue would have to pay for pumping that water and getting it to all the local consumers.
There has been some concern that Lafourche voters might confuse the two taxes facing them. Don't let that happen.
The Freshwater District's tax is simply a renewal of a tax that has been in place and has undergone little change since the 1950s.
Approving the renewal of this tax will result in no change for local taxpayers.
If the tax is rejected, though, local officials will have to scramble to find another way to pay for their operations.
Let's keep the system that works as it is. Vote in favor of this tax renewal.
North lafourche levee tax — reject
The North Lafourche Levee District is proposing a new 1-cent sales tax for Lafourche Parish north of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway in Larose.
While this ambitious tax, with the levee district aiming to use it for millions in levee upgrades, has the noble goal of improving flood protection for north Lafourche, there is no compelling reason to believe these purposes are best served by such a large, new tax.
Levees are certainly a worthwhile public expenditure. How we generate that money, though, and how much we should collect are up for debate.
In this case, the 1-cent tax would generate an estimated $8.6 million a year. That is a significant stream of tax money.
The district has also identified a list of $248 million in projects it will use the money to complete.
What it has not done is construct a compelling argument why these projects must be completed in the next 20 years and why this kind of tax is the best way to pay for them.
Voters should reject this tax in the hopes that the Levee District will re-examine the issue and make a better case for this plan or come up with a different plan that can be better justified.

Princeton Seminary Top Generator of PhD Faculty at Theological Schools
As director of Ph.D. Studies at Princeton Theological Seminary, let me share with you what I believe to be unique strengths of our doctoral program. We have an outstanding faculty with expertise across traditional theological disciplines and in dialogue with secular disciplines and contemporary concerns. We are a free-standing theological seminary rooted in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.); many of our faculty and students belong to churches of the Calvinist tradition and work from its dynamic theological heritage; yet others represent a wide variety of other Christian traditions, providing a richly ecumenical dialogue. Our doctoral program offers opportunities not only to study a field in depth, but also to pursue interdisciplinary study both within the Seminary and at Princeton University. Our library is one of the nation's largest theological libraries, and both faculty and students enjoy full access to the libraries of Princeton University as well. We live in a peaceful and beautiful town in central New Jersey—yet we are within an hour of the social and cultural riches of New York and Philadelphia. You might say we have the "best of both worlds."
"Our faculty has recently collaborated in crafting a statement of our vision for the doctoral program. I think it expresses very well the way in which we aspire to negotiate a fruitful place between church and world to educate scholars, teachers, and leaders at the highest academic level. Its keynote is:

Tottenham Hotspur Message Board
FABONGRASS FABONGRASS Feb 27, 2013 12:21 Flag
Come on the Arsenal!
It's upon us. Derby day draws ever closer and no doubt you sorry lot are feeling more confident of a win this time around (more so than in many a year?). Whilst it's true that the MIGHTY Arsenal have banged in no less than TEN goals in the last two Prem meetings, Spurs are certainly looking the favourites today. Arsenals confidence is SHATTERED. Spurs is SKY HIGH. Derby day promises to be a real humdinger!
Will Gareth ( i modelled for Beano) Bale do the business for you yet again? Will Lennon give you cause to once again argue he is 'better than Walcott'? Will Wenger punch AVB full in the face? Will Dexter amazingly utter his first word 'GOOOOOONERS' to the astonishment of dad Joe? Will the annual St Totteringhams bash be cancelled this season?? Will Bale be Arsenals big signing of the summer???
All will be revealed Yidsters. NONE can be discounted.
Fab is already chomping on his nails.
7 points clear would be a f*cking nightmare.

Scary game eh Fab?
Up until Jol, I never expected anything out of the 'top 4', but that has slowly changed over the past 4 or 5 seasons. A belief is SLOWLY growing. The record is becoming more consistent.
I would have felt less confident had the WH game gone against us, as I think the incentive of going above us would have driven your lot more. And for some reason, I feel less confident than last season anyway, even though AVB has presided over a couple of good results, I'm not sure we have the overall quality/performance levels yet to completely stuff you.
But your lot have had a patchy season 'performance wise' as well, so I think it will come down to one or two players on either side being fired up (not overly fired up and getting sent off though) and dragging the rest along with them screaming.
If we contain your midfield, then I think we have enough in Ade/Bale/Lemmon/Holtby to just nick it.
Another interesting team selection problem for AVB. Does he go to stifle your midfield, or simply try to overrun you? I think he'll err on the cautious side.

I think your strike force will definately be told to test the resolve of the shaky Arsenal defence. Adebayor can be fantastic, when he can be bothered, which, as i'm sure you lot are beginning to realise, isn't that often.
The midfield battle is going to be epic. Hopefully a great advert for the Prem, for London and for football in general. I hope the officials manage to not ruin the game.
The atmosphere will be electric and i wish i wish i had a ticket (as i always do derby day). I hope my lot can raise their game and show what they are capable of. I happen to think Arsenal have a great squad today, just low on confidence and only now getting to really know how each other play. A lot of new players have been brought in over the last three windows.
Above all i hope the lads do the club and Wenger proud and begin to silence those who knock our GREAT manager.
AVB looks the part to me BTW. I think he will become a memorable Spurs manager if given time and the backing every manager deserves IMO. Better off at Spurs than Chelski that's for sure. It takes a while to really put your own stamp on a team IMO. I wouldn't judge too harshly the guys first season, wherever he happens to finish, just as i don't really judge players in their first season.
Patience is a rare virtue where football is concerned though.
I predict a Spurs rout at the lane and 7 points clear come the final whistle.

Homemade Chocolate Ice Cream
I know ice cream is fattening and that the recommended serving size is 1/2 cup (what a joke, right?) but it took making homemade ice cream to get to me see exactly why it is so fattening. As I was pouring four cups of heavy cream and half & half into my sauce pan and gathering eight egg yolks into a bowl, it was difficult to ignore just how much fat goes into a typical, creamy homemade ice cream recipe. Oh I know there are recipes out there that use milk instead of cream, but if I'm going to eat ice cream, it's going to be the real deal or no deal at all. Believe me; this is the real deal. It has melt-in-your-mouth creaminess and just the right amount of chocolate flavor for my taste. I hope you enjoy it too. In moderation, of course.
Have a safe and happy 4th of July!
Homemade Chocolate Ice Cream (adapted from recipe by Alton Brown)
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (I used Dutch process)
3 cups half & half
1 cup heavy cream
8 large egg yolks
1 cup granulated sugar
pinch of salt
2 tsp vanilla
Place the cocoa powder along with 1 cup of the half-and-half into a medium saucepan over medium heat and whisk to combine. Add the remaining half-and-half and the heavy cream. Bring the mixture just to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and remove from the heat.
In mixing bowl beat the egg yolks until they lighten in color. Gradually beat in the sugar, occasionally scraping down the beaters and sides of mixing bowl. Temper the cream mixture into the eggs and sugar by gradually adding small amounts, until about 1/3 of the cream mixture has been added. Pour in the remainder and return the entire mixture to the saucepan and place over low heat. Add in the pinch of salt and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon and reaches 170 to 175 degrees. Pour the mixture through a mesh strainer and into a container and allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Cover container and refrigerate for 4-8 hours. (I refrigerated mine overnight.)
Pour into an ice cream maker and process according to the manufacturer's directions. This should take approximately 25 to 35 minutes. Serve as is for soft serve or freeze for another 3 to 4 hours to allow the ice cream to harden.

I love how creamy and yummy this looks! I too love ice cream but I can't eat it anymore and it makes me oh so sad. Its not lactose intolerance (I have no problem with milk and the likes). I just feel really ill even if I eat the recommended serving size. ;) Now I have to be happy with just a spoonful or two.

The ice cream looks delicious and chocolate is the way to go! I will definitely have to get my ice cream maker out and try this! I agree with your hubby and could eat ice cream every day, year round! My waist wouldn't like that though. Hope you're having a wonderful 4th!

I try not to keep ice cream in the house because, I will buy my favorite flavor and you know who will eat it. Perhaps, all the time, I have been saying how much I wanted an ice cream maker, I really knew better.
Your ice cream would tempt me so keep it far away and I will pretend I am eating it. Oh, Mags, that is delicious.

Yum! I love chocolate ice cream and this looks perfect for a hot day. I totally agree, if you're going to eat ice cream, eat the good stuff (and a half a cup is ridiculous!) My favorite recipe is Dorie Greenspan's chocolate ganache ice cream but this one looks great, too. You can't go wrong with AB!

SAN JOSE -- Mariachi music fans here have had mixed feelings about their annual festival since the addition of Latino rock 'n' roll, salsa music and even opera to the lineup. But this may be the year mariachi enthusiasts rise up and demand their festival back.
Established in 1992, the former San Jose International Mariachi Festival began its transition several years ago to Viva Fest, a more expansive celebration of traditional Mexican and contemporary U.S. Latino music and art. Big-name Latino rock stars, including Carlos Santana and Los Lobos, joined indie and salsa bands and even a Mexican opera star on stages where traditional mariachi bands once reigned supreme.
Viva Fest director Marcela Davison Aviles said the event had to attract new audiences, especially younger Latinos and non-Hispanics, to increase revenue for a student mariachi workshop run by the Mexican Heritage Corp., the San Jose-based nonprofit she also heads
"The business of producing a festival like this and achieving our mission," Aviles said, "means that we can't be speaking to one cohort of people who love us to death once a year."
But even by Viva Fest standards, the star power of this year's pop and mariachi has dropped dramatically. There will be no big rock concert. The only world-class mariachi band participating this year, Sol de Mexico, has been hired to teach at Viva Fest's student workshops, but the group will actually perform with the San Jose Symphony at the Target Summer Pops festival in August.
In a way, Aviles said, the festival has become a victim of its own success.
"It just seems like the mainstream promoters have figured out there's this thing called the Latino market," she said. "What does a nonprofit do when it's doing its job of getting people hip to our culture?"
She said her $500,000 festival budget this year can't match the money promoters and theaters are now dangling in front of Latino stars and big-time mariachi groups. At its highest in 2006, she said, the festival budget approached $1 million.
For example, she said, Mexican singer Lila Downs, a previous Viva Fest performer, will perform later this year at Villa Montalvo in Saratoga. Not only that, Aviles said, the new competitors aren't student mariachi workshops.
"Our mission remains promoting and keeping the musical and artistic heritage of our culture alive," she said, adding that the mission that extends beyond concerts. For example, she said, as schools rediscover the academic value of music instruction, her group advocates including mariachi music in the curriculum. "We've been able to put the spotlight on mariachi music as an educational tool." The annual workshops for about 200 registered students started Friday.
Aviles said her business strategy must change once again. One possible model: the Aspen Music Festival and School, which puts on dozens of workshops, concerts and discussions over eight weeks every summer and attracts up to 70,000 fans and students.
A transition like that would take a long time, so Aviles plans on staying with the blended Latino pop and traditional mariachi formula of the past several years.
But to others, the musical downsizing of this year's Viva Fest is proof the mixed-music approach has failed and it's time to return to a mariachi-only lineup.
"I don't think it's working," Ballin said. "Mariachi should stick to what mariachi is, but they don't believe in that."
Until now, many in the local mariachi community have stewed over the changes but kept quiet. Ballin said his colleagues still hoped to be invited to play, even on the minor stages.
"They have to be politic about it," he said.
Rudy Rodriguez, a Mexican Heritage board member from 2002 to 2007, said he opposed the "dilution" of the mariachi-only festival.
"We wanted to keep the focus on the tradition of mariachi," Rodriguez said. He added that some local mariachis had complained to him privately but were reluctant to speak out. "I didn't want to create a mutiny or cause anything like that."
Rodriguez and others cite mariachi-only festivals in the Southwest that have survived and prospered and offer more student workshops than Viva Fest. Noberta Fresquez, director of the Albuquerque's mariachi festival, said she's never needed for-profit partners to get world-class mariachi bands or added non-mariachi acts in 24 years.
"We don't deal with big-time promoters. We've built relationships and we deal directly with the groups," she said. "Our mission is very clear. There's no reason to promote any other type of music when it's not part of our mission."
The mariachi festival in Tucson, Arizona, which inspired the first San Jose festival in 1992, fell on hard times but survived by merging with a local nonprofit Latino health center that offers administrative and marketing expertise.
In San Antonio, Texas, the mariachi-only festival has become a prosperous, for-profit affair. Mariachi enthusiasts started it in 1979 but never established a nonprofit organization to keep it going. The festival bogged down after several years but was jump-started by Ford Motor and today is sponsored by AHMSA International, a Mexican steel company.
"It would have been dead," said Cynthia Muñoz, producer of the annual Mariachi Vargas Extravaganza. "With the support of these companies, it's amazing how much mariachi music has grown."
She said about 5,000 San Antonio students study mariachi music in year-round workshops operated by the festival in area schools.
"There you go!" Ballin said. "They can do it here if they wanted to."

David Irving, Hitler and Holocaust Denial: Electronic Edition, by Richard J. EvansTable of Contents
|< (i) Historical background
|(iii) Inconsistencies an... >
|(vii) Conclusion >>
(ii) David Irving's argument
1. One of the main aims of Irving's historical writings, as we have already seen, is to distance Hitler from all forms of violence against the Jews. This Report has already noted his statement in the Preface to the 1991 edition of Hitler's War: 'Every document actually linking Hitler with the treatment of the Jews invariably takes the form of an embargo.' One such document, he goes on to argue, refers to 'the 1923 beer-hall putsch (when he disciplined a Nazi squad for having looted a Jewish delicatessen).'2 Irving also recounted this alleged incident in his Göring:: [sic]
Meanwhile, Hitler acted to maintain order. Learning that one Nazi squad had ransacked a kosher grocery store during the night, he sent for the ex-army lieutenant who had led the raid. "We took off our Nazi insignia first!" expostulated the officer - to no avail, as Hitler dismissed him from the party on the spot. "I shall see that no other nationalist unit allows you to join either!". Göring goggled at this exchange, as did a police sergeant who testified to it at the Hitler trial a few weeks later'.3
2. Irving cites this incident again in his new edition of Hitler's War, and also in his Pleadings. Here he refers to his account in Göring, and concludes that to his knowledge 'no other historian has ever quoted this passage, finding it hard to reconcile with their (sic) obsessively held views'.4 It is necessary therefore to turn now to an investigation of Irving's claims and to assess the accuracy of his presentation and interpretation of this portion of the trial record.

Board Statements
APS Statements are public policy statements that undergo a meticulous process of draft and review, including receiving comments from APS members, before being voted on by APS Council at one of its semiannual meetings.
Board Statements expedite the APS Statement draft and review process in cases where more rapid action is necessary. If Board Statements are not eventually submitted to APS Statement review procedures, they are archived after one year and may not be renewed.
Science Funding and James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)
August 1, 2011
America must get its fiscal house in order, but responsible budgeting requires making wise choices. Even in difficult times we must strive to nourish programs that create jobs and help build a better America. For more than half a century science has played such a role, allowing our nation to prosper and remain secure.
As Congress and the White House work to reduce deficits, the Executive Board of the American Physical Society (APS), representing more than 48,000 physicists in universities, industry and national laboratories, urges policymakers to recognize that innovation, the engine of the modern American economy, relies more than ever on strong, sustained federal support of scientific research. Placing that support at risk is very destructive policy.
Yet bills to drastically reduce domestic discretionary spending with across the board cuts and cancellation of major scientific projects would do just that. They would threaten our nation's ability to innovate and compete in the global economic arena. The APS Executive Board asks Congress and the White House to reject budgets that contain deep reductions for science.
The Board expresses particular concern and dismay that impending House action on appropriations for Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies has already identified the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) as a prime candidate for termination. The APS rarely advocates for specific science projects, but it believes JWST deserves special attention, especially now.
- Successor to the extraordinarily successful Hubble Space Telescope with similar potential to transform astronomy, JWST is the centerpiece of the future American space astrophysics program. It was the highest-ranked mission in the 2000 National Academy of Sciences' Astronomy Decadal Survey and is a cornerstone of the 2010 Survey
- JWST is 100 times more powerful than Hubble and would revolutionize our understanding of the birth of the Universe, reveal much about the first stars and galaxies, and play a crucial role in the quest to find life on distant planets.
- 75 percent of the JWST hardware is being fabricated or has been delivered, and 3.5 billion dollars (about half of the total cost) has been spent. The Casani report, commissioned by Senator Mikulski, found no technical problems and NASA and its contractors have corrected management deficiencies that the report identified.
- JWST would continue Hubble's legacy as one of the greatest inspirations for young people and as a symbol of American leadership in science and space.
- Cancellation of JWST would eliminate thousands of high-tech jobs, especially in the aerospace industry.
- The Canadian and the European Space Agencies are contributing around a billion dollars to JWST; cancellation would again call into question our nation's record as a reliable international partner.
Therefore, the Executive Board of the American Physical Society urges Congress to restore funding for the James Webb Space Telescope and allow the project to advance toward its planned launch in 2018.

I Am Research. Progress. Hope. - The Scientists Speak
Olof Larsson
05.17.13 | By
Recently, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Olof Larsson, chief scientific officer, Eli Lilly and Company, to talk about what inspired him to get into science and what advice he has for students as they explore their future career path. I met Olof, originally from Sweden, at his house in Indianapolis, IN and as I walked through the front door, he introduced me to his daughter who is currently in high school. I noticed immediately that they have a very strong relationship. You could tell she admired him not only because of his job working on potential new medicines for patients suffering from pain but also because he was a "cool" Dad who during her childhood would play his classical instruments with her at his side singing along to the melody. Perhaps his daughter won't follow his footsteps when she gets older, but Olof would like younger generations to know that science can be fun and exciting and biomedical research can be particularly gratifying because it can help patients suffering from disease.
Olof, like many other scientists working at biopharmaceutical research companies, has vision, passion, drive and persistence – all qualities that are pretty much necessary if you work in the drug development process. After seeing his video and reading his blog post below, I think we can all agree that he certainly represents Research. Progress. Hope.
The Best Role Models:
In my opinion, especially from looking at my teenage daughter and her friends, many of today's role models are stars in a sports arena, the music scene or Hollywood. I think these are all great careers to aspire to, but at the same time think it is unfortunate that people who devote their lives to providing significant technology advancements, or bringing forward key environmental solutions or discovering and developing new medicines, are under-recognized outside of their field. Reasons for this might be that very few know what scientists like myself and others are doing. They don't know whatdrives me – often times seeing someone we love suffer from a debilitating disease – nor what I've spent my life working to achieve – bringing innovative medicines to patients – and, unfortunately, many think scientists are "just a bunch of nerds."
This is also likely because there is little acknowledgement of what science actually is, who the scientists actually are (normal people) and what their scenes look like. By allowing students to have greater insight into what science is and what it can lead to, both career-wise and in terms of personal achievements, I am absolutely convinced that we would have a flood of interested individuals that would see as well as appreciate science in all its possibilities and challenges – and recognize the scientific community as some of the many role models out there.
Advice for Those Considering a STEM Career:
It is always difficult to try to give advice to a student regarding preferred requirements getting into any career, perhaps with the exception that one needs some basic talent in the area they would like to pursue. From my personal experience, being in the science field for several decades, scrutinizing my own career as well as many fellow scientists in different fields, I have collected a number of reflections that I think should be considered.
To me, a number of common denominators include curiosity, passion and drive, as well as persistence. Without these characteristics, one might not be prepared to face the long and winding road that is science. To be able to spend your life in science is nothing but fantastic, however the potentially romantic view of scientists sitting at a desk or in a lab, constantly figuring out new experiments that lead to breakthrough discoveries – on a daily basis – is not correct.
The process of contributing to the field of science is a much more challenging, longer and, often times, a tedious activity. Therefore, curiosity, combined with true passion is to me the key criteria that characterize a good scientist. In real life, many projects a scientist works on takes quite a long time to achieve – and the projects are often times fraught with failure. Hence, intellectually it takes a lot of curiosity and passion, and most importantly having an open mind to new ideas and being prepared for the unexpected. If you think about it, that is even more interesting than your potential preset expectations, like a journey that takes you to new places. So, I think it takes a good portion of intellectual flexibility combined with a lot of persistence, all of this driven by passion for the science you are doing.
My Father's Journey, Helping to Fuel my Work Today:
My father was diagnosed with late-stage cancer. Many cancer patients suffer from severe pain, either from the cancer itself or as a result from the treatment. At the time I was studying science in another city and simply could not be by my dear Dad as much as I would have liked to. What was even sadder was the fact that the medicines my father received to decrease the pain made him extremely tired and partly dizzy. As a result, we could only have some very few minutes when I came to visit, where we could have a good conversation, and believe me, at this stage in a parent-child relationship, you want to talk a lot more than you may have ever thought.
Needless to say, it was the cancer that ended my father's life, not the pain. However, inventing new medicines that improve a patient's quality of life is a goal we strive for – it's important to me personally but also to all my colleagues at Eli Lilly and Company.
In regards to pain medication, there is still very much to do. The team I lead at Lilly is constantly looking for improved medications that can more safely help the enormous amount of patients that suffer from chronic pain. At the same time it feels extremely good having close colleagues here at Lilly that in their daily work are working hard to battle other devastating diseases like cancer, depression, and Alzheimer's disease. Taken together, I guess it is rather obvious that I feel very satisfied doing what I and my colleagues are doing every day at work – working to discover and develop medicines that provide improved outcomes from individual patients.
