RICHMOND -- Longtime West Contra Costa school board trustee Charles Ramsey announced in an email to supporters Monday that he is withdrawing from the race to be Richmond's next mayor and will instead run for City Council, triggering a seismic shift in the race.
"After careful thought and consideration, I believe I can be more effective and get more things done as a council member rather than as Mayor," Ramsey wrote.
The announcement, which was rumored for months but denied by Ramsey and his backers, comes on the heels of a resounding rejection in June of a $270 million school construction bond ballot measure that Ramsey had championed.
Ramsey's exit from the mayor's race opens up the field for the three remaining front-runners and makes the race for four open City Council seats in November more competitive.
In addition to Mayor Gayle McLaughlin, who is termed out and running for a council seat, incumbents Jovanka Beckles, Jim Rogers, Corky Boozé and Jael Myrick will all seek re-election.
"I'm disappointed," said Councilman Tom Butt, who endorsed Ramsey for mayor. "He told me within the week that he was still running. I thought he could win."
With Ramsey out, the mayoral field narrows to three front runners: Longtime Councilman Nat Bates, Richmond Progressive Alliance member Mike Parker and Uche Uwahemu, a local business owner and community leader.
Sources close to both camps have said that Bates hoped to dissuade Ramsey from running because the two might split votes, paving the way for Parker or Uwahemu to win. Both Bates and Ramsey have strong backing from big business and unions, with Bates being a consistent favorite of Chevron Corp., which runs a massive refinery in the city. Parker, a progressive candidate, eschews any corporate donations.
RPA leader McLaughlin won both her mayoral elections in part because of similar scenarios in which two better-funded candidates split the same voting blocs.
Bates greeted the news with a shrug, saying he is "focused on winning, period."
"My focus has always been upon putting together a strong and winning campaign regardless of who the opposition may be," Bates said. "As we see in the World Cup soccer, one does not choose their opponents and the same is true in politics."
The news of Ramsey's move was met with a mix of concern, skepticism and joy on "the realRICH," a popular Facebook group focused on local news.
"Double-bonus," wrote Felix Hunziker, a local architect and Police Commission member. "Not splitting the vote means the progressives will have to give up that race, plus we avoid a hothead (for mayor) who will still be a formidable council candidate."
Millie Cleveland, a local union leader, wrote, "I think Chevron is concerned (Ramsey) and Bates will split votes."
Ramsey has reported more than $100,000 in campaign donations, mostly from labor and building firms that benefitted from the more than $1 billion in school construction bonds he helped pass over the last decade. First elected to the school board in 1993, Ramsey has had well-publicized outbursts in which he publicly berated parents, a teacher, union leaders and school board candidates, building a reputation as a brash and sometimes out of control leader.
The RPA, which has dominated local politics with their pro-environment, pro-labor agenda for years, faces a tall challenge in the mayor and council races, which are sure to draw big money from the business community, led by Chevron. The RPA is running a four-person slate dubbed "Team Richmond," with McLaughlin, Beckles and new candidate Eduardo Martinez running for council and Parker running for mayor.
"(Ramsey's decision) raises some new challenges for the RPA's slate, for sure," Butt said.

SAN JOSE -- Amid all the what-if scenarios, San Jose State's bowl resume was simply too good to overlook.
The Spartans accepted an invitation on Friday to play in the Military Bowl on Dec. 27 in Washington, D.C. It's SJSU's first bowl appearance since 2006.
"It's a credit to what this team has done," SJSU coach Mike MacIntyre said. "They definitely deserved to go to a bowl game and earned the right to do it."
Some of the SJSU fan base remained on edge this week waiting for a bowl invitation to come, with the most pessimistic fearing the Spartans could get passed over.
With no bowl games on the West Coast available, its unlikely many SJSU fans will travel to the game. Those concerns were likely valid, but a No. 25 ranking in the BCS standings -- among other factors -- worked in the Spartans' favor.
"They were 10-2, beat four bowl-eligible teams and lost to Stanford 20-17. That's pretty good," Military Bowl executive director Steve Beck said of the Spartans.
SJSU probably secured its fate by winning its final six games, including back-to-back games on national television. The four wins against bowl-bound teams (San Diego State, Navy, BYU and Louisiana Tech) are the most in school history.
"We are thrilled to receive an invitation to play in the 2012 Military Bowl ... to cap off one of the best seasons in the 110-plus years of San Jose State football," SJSU athletic director Gene Bleymaier said in a release.
SJSU doesn't know its opponent yet, but it will be from the Mid-American Conference, according to Military Bowl officials. The game was contracted to invite Army and a team from the ACC, but neither was able to fill its obligation. The Spartans' opponent likely won't be revealed until Sunday.
The players learned the news of the bowl invitation Friday morning after practice. Emotions range from excited to relieved, particularly since they've been getting hounded by friends and family with questions about where they would be playing.
"I was pumped," senior offensive lineman David Quessenberry said. "I've heard about the Military Bowl, I've watched it the last couple of years. I know it's a great bowl. I'm just pretty fired up to represent San Jose State back there in such a great bowl game."
SJSU went 1-12 two years ago, so the transformation to a bowl-bound team is significant to those who went through the struggles.
"It's means a lot," senior defensive end Travis Johnson said. "Just where we've come from. To have poor seasons the past couple of years and to finish off with a bowl game, it all encapsulates this whole season."
Beck said the Spartans' best season in 25 years made them worth the invitation even if they may not bring a huge crowd.
"You want to get teams that can help bring fans," Beck said. "In this game, it was compelling because they've had such a great year. I'm confident we're going to have a terrific matchup."
The game is played at RFK Stadium, the former home of the Washington Redskins. It will be SJSU's second trip to the Washington, D.C., area this season. The Spartans played Navy in nearby Annapolis, Md., in September and did a quick tour of the nation's capital during that trip.
"I'm happy to go back to D.C.," senior tight end Ryan Otten said. "I have a lot of family back there that will be able to go the game. If I have to spend Christmas away from home, it will be nice to be around family."

Change and Obama
Published: Friday, November 23, 2012 at 12:14 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 23, 2012 at 12:14 a.m.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt once said, "There is nothing to fear but fear itself."
You might as well get a head start now because beginning in 2013, fear is coming and you voted for it.
You will start seeing a big change and it will not be for the better. Increase in taxes, unemployment, food, gas, health insurance, medical care, medicine, utility costs and who knows what else and a decrease in take-home pay, Social Security entitlements, working hours and more.
At least Barack Obama did not get a second Nobel Peace Prize.
Obama is under the gun to fulfill the promise of "forward" since he went "backward" in his last term.

Tuesday evening was only El Cancun's third day in business, and manager/co-owner Agustin Bermudez was dealing with a constant stream of customers in and out of the new Mexican restaurant in Redwood Falls.El Cancun is family-owned, with Bermudez's relatives owning six other restaurants in Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma."My sister owns four, and my brother owns a few," Bermudez said."I heard about Redwood Falls from a friend. He said there was no Mexican restaurant here," said Bermudez earlier on Tuesday, taking a break between the lunch and dinner crowds.Bermudez visited Redwood Falls last December to investigate his friend's tip."I liked the location, and the lease on this building was very good," he said.El Cancun's first day in official business was Saturday, and the parking lot has been full for the lunch and dinner crowds every night since.Bermudez said the first night went very smoothly for the six full-time and two part-time employees. Even so, he emphasized El Cancun is still a work-in-progress."We expect to get our liquor license in two weeks," Bermudez said, adding, "This is a family restaurant — some families don't like bringing their children to bars."We were planning on opening a month ago, but we got behind," he said, saying the remodeling inside and out is still going on. He pointed out the new interior walls could be moved if they want to expand later.

Graphic Designer Toolbox allows you make amazing graphic with very little work. To make graphics, you use building blocks, rather than other methods accomplished in programs like Photoshop. Graphic Designer Toolbox does have a slight learning curve, but once you understand it, you can make lots of things from textures, buttons, logos, icons, text effects, or just about anything.
With Graphic Designer Toolbox, you start with an empty grid on the top right, blocks and options on the bottom right, and an empty output box on the left. You then place blocks on the grid to create your masterpiece. The blocks are read from to to bottom. For example, they might read photo, zoom, and crop.
You can easily make amazing graphics with Graphic Designer Toolbox. They even provide many tutorial to help you get started. I suggest visiting the screenshot gallery to see what you can do in Graphic Designer Toolbox:
I strongly recommend this program.

1. Hiking: 22:25
We hiked part of the Bruce Trail near Caledon this morning. We started at Belfountain and hiked east toward the Forks of the Credit River trail, but it was closed due to construction. We saw the waterfall, though, and had an... interesting... detour picking up the trail again after we lost it on the way back. Hooray for boots and mossy rocks on steep inclines. =)
I enjoyed feeling the ground yield beneath my hiking boots. Walking on paved sidewalks all the time is just not the same as getting out there. The weather was pleasantly cool, and the mosquitoes hadn't yet clogged the air. What I liked the most, though, was chatting with W and J about the different things we saw along the path—the blue blazes, the trees, the pine needles that covered the forest floor—and the stories that connected with them.
I saw a garter snake sunning itself beside a rock. W had mentioned that he'd never seen a snake, so I pointed out the garter snake to W and J: a little black and white striped snake that slithered away before I could take a picture of it.
What a wonderful day: conversation, nature, physical exercise, cooperative problem-solving, and most of all, the weaving of old stories and new experiences into new stories.

Holocaust Denial on Trial, Trial Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Charles GrayTable of Contents

|Findings in relation to t... >>
The expulsion of Jews from Berlin in 1941 (paragraphs 5.90-110 above)
13.21 The Defendants advance two criticisms of Irving's treatment of Himmler's note of his conversation with Heydrich on 30 November 1941. In my view both criticisms are justified. The first is that Irving was wrong in his claim that the instruction Keine liquidierung (no liquidation) was intended to apply to Jews generally. Irving acknowledged that the inclusion in Himmler's note of the words "aus Berlin" is clear evidence that the instruction relates solely to Jews being deported from Berlin and not to Jews from elsewhere. After some prevarication during the trial, Irving also accepted that he was mistaken when he read Judentransport (in the singular) as referring to Jewish transports (in the plural). The second criticism (which is more important for the purpose of this case) is that Irving is in error when he claims that the instruction not to liquidate the Jews on that transport emanated from Hitler. There is no evidence that Hitler "summoned" Himmler to his headquarters and "obliged" him to telephone to Heydrich an order that Jews were not to be liquidated.
13.22 Whilst I accept that an historian is entitled to speculate, he must spell out clearly to the reader when he is speculating rather than reciting established facts. In Hitler's War (1977 edition) Irving presents Himmler's note as "incontrovertible evidence" that Hitler issued a general order prohibiting the liquidation of Jews. The evidence from Wisliceny and Greiser, which is not mentioned by Irving, supports the view that Hitler was complicit in the deportation and killing of Jews in 1941. I do not accept Irving's argument that the evidence of the summoning of Jeckeln to Berlin and the reference in Himmler's diary for 4 December 1941 to "guidelines" amount to evidence from which it is reasonable to infer that there was a general prohibition in force at this time against the killing of all European Jews.
13.23 In regard to Himmler's log for 1 December 1941, his manuscript is difficult to decipher. Irving claimed that that was the reason why he misread "haben" as "Juden". Be that as it may, Irving accepted that he misrepresented this document. I do not accept that the error is immaterial: if it ordained that Jews were to remain where they were, out of harm's way, it would have given protection to a very large number of Jews whose lives were in jeopardy if they were moved elsewhere. But, as Irving accepts, that was not what Himmler was ordering.

Gov. Rick Scott Vetoes 9 Polk Projects From State Budget
Published: Monday, May 20, 2013 at 1:23 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, May 21, 2013 at 2:31 a.m.
LAKELAND | Gov. Rick Scott vetoed nine Polk County projects in the 2013-2014 state budget that he signed Monday.
Polk County projects vetoed by Gov. Rick Scott are:
• Peace River Crisis and Stabilization Center in Lakeland, $2 million.
• Salvation Army homeless family project in Lakeland, $500,000.
• Lake Wales Dental Clinic, $200,000.
• Lakeland Regional Medical Center and University of South Florida medical graduate program, Lakeland, $2.5 million.
• New well pump generator for the Frostproof Water Plant, $150,000.
• Water storage tank for Frostproof utilities, $200,000.
Frostproof City Hall renovations, $500,000.
• Lake Conine Wetland Treatment project in Winter Haven, $619,000.
• 2nd District Court of Appeal driveway improvements in Lakeland, $30,450.
The two largest local projects rejected were $2.5 million for construction of the University of South Florida/Lakeland Regional Medical Center graduate medical program, and $2 million for Peace River Center's planned crisis stabilization unit and Baker Act Triage Center in Lakeland.
In both cases, Scott listed his reasons for the vetoes as "funds go to fixed capital outlay projects for private organizations not affiliated with the state."
"It is a major setback for the whole community," Margaret Parry, chief development officer for the Peace River Center, said of the veto.
"There is no intake facility in Lakeland or the northern part of the county. It's not just poor people who have mental illnesses and brain disease," she said, "and the care can drain a family's finances."
Parry said the Polk County delegation worked hard on the appropriation and that the center will ask for funding next year and explain the project to the governor's office.
In spite of additional revenue from an improving economy, the governor vetoed several projects across the state with explanations ranging from funds going to private organizations not affiliated with the state to projects being funded through other state agencies to a lack of proof of significant return on the state's investment.
Of the $22,019,000 proposed in nonhighway capital outlay projects for Polk County, $6,169,000 was vetoed, about 28 percent.
The town of Frostproof lost three projects including mold and mildew removal and renovations to a first floor wing of City Hall, and two water utilities projects that officials have tried to get for the past several years.
And some projects got mixed messages. Scott allowed roof and other structural repair to the 2nd District Court of Appeal as well as added security, but vetoed resurfacing of the court driveway, saving $30,000.
''At least they can take care of the structural and security stuff, which is the most important," said Rep. Seth McKeel, R-Lakeland, and chairman of the powerful House Appropriations Committee.
In his veto of the driveway, Scott said he wants to see plans for the future of the building.
Polk winners in the budget included $750,000 to complete Frank Lloyd Wright's plans for Usonian House, which will become an important education and tourism center at Florida Southern College. Last year, Scott vetoed $500,000 for the project.
Florida Southern President Anne Kerr said the funding will allow the structure to open in early fall.
"He (Wright) considered the plans to be his housing answer to Henry Ford's Model T, making affordable housing for the average person," she said. "The center will be an important part of cultural tourism and the revenues will go to the restoration and renovation of Wright structures on the campus," Kerr said.
Also receiving money on the campus was the renovation project for Wright's Annie Pfeiffer Chapel at $350,000.
The largest project approved was $8.5 million for renovations and the continued construction of the law enforcement building for Polk State College in Winter Haven.
But the loudest cheers came for $3.5 million to end two decades of sewer problems for Skyview, an economically struggling subdivision whose utility operators walked away more than a decade ago.
"We're extremely happy that the governor and the Legislature saw fit to help us resolve a multi-decades problem," said Lakeland Deputy City Manager Tony Delgado.
The money will improve and renovate the dilapidated system so it can be connected to the city sewer system in about 18 months to two years, Delgado said.
After Scott vetoed $368 million statewide, the final budget stands at $74.1 billion. The unspent money will remain in the general budget for backup.
McKeel said he is not that concerned with vetoes, although he felt some projects, like the LRMC/USF medical program, had not been explained enough to those in the governor's staff who make recommendations.
Although Scott didn't veto an implementing bill requiring a cutoff of funds to the Haines City Driver License Bureau on Jan. 1, he did express criticism of the Polk County Tax Collector's Office.
Driver license offices statewide are being placed under each county's tax collection.
Scott said a review showed the local tax collector's office won't be able to move the Haines City office until June 2014 and urged the office to step up its action.
Polk County Tax Collector Joe Tedder questioned why such a criticism would be placed in a veto message, since Scott wasn't going to veto the closing.
"I was a little surprised by the governor's statements in the veto letter. Our proposal for the governor's consideration was to save the state approximately $60,000 by opening the Lakeland office six months early and opening Haines City office on time," Tedder said.
"I feel there must have been some communication problems between Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles and the governor on the proposed plan. It's a plan that makes sense for everyone, so we will get it worked out."
The new state budget allows the Florida Department of Agriculture to leave the Florida Citrus Building in Winter Haven for a new home in Bartow.
About $1.5 million is set aside for the Department of Agriculture to buy and renovate a building at USS Commercial Park on State Road 60 in Bartow, near downtown. Florida Department of Agriculture spokeswoman Amanda Bevis said the move will save the department about $180,000 a year in maintenance, security and upkeep.
The 66,000-square-foot Florida Citrus Building includes the 43,000-square-foot Nora Mayo Hall, which hosts many Winter Haven events, including the yearly Banker's Cup Awards, considered the highest honor in Winter Haven.
"With Nora Mayo Hall, it just is a lot of added square footage that requires additional maintenance, security and a lot of heating and air conditioning," Bevis said.
The new Bartow building will be 25,000 square feet, leading to the savings. It will likely also include employees for other state departments. Bevis said the move is part of an ongoing initiative by the department to become more efficient.

OAKLAND — There isn't much that separates the A's and Texas Rangers, as was the case the past two seasons when the teams finished one-two, respectively, in the American League West.
Therefore, it's no surprise that the first two games of a three-game series between the teams at the Coliseum turned into back-and-forth affairs.
Both times, the Rangers emerged with one-run victories. On Tuesday night, the Rangers scored two runs in the ninth inning to turn a one-run deficit into a 5-4 lead that Joakim Soria preserved in the bottom of the inning.
The A's lost back-to-back games for the first time this season. They entered the game as the only team in the majors without two straight losses this season.
Soria did what Luke Gregerson failed to do for the A's: protect a lead and close out a hard-earned victory.
"We felt like we had the bullpen lined up to finish it off the last three," A's manager Bob Melvin said, "and we just came up an out short."
The A's carried a 4-3 lead into the ninth inning and seemed primed to turn it into a series-evening victory. Instead, the Rangers cut the A's division lead to a half game.
The Rangers tied the score with a two-out, RBI double by Josh Wilson off Gregerson, who is splitting time as the A's closer. They surged ahead on an RBI single by Michael Choice on the next batter.
Gregerson said he felt rushed for some reason, which caused him to be just a bit off with some of his pitches. Melvin said Gregerson's slider, the right-hander's go-to pitch, simply didn't move as much as it normally does.
Still, Gregerson came close to pulling out the save despite giving up a leadoff double and having a runner on third with one out.
At that point, Leonys Martin bunted toward the mound. Gregerson fielded the bunt, flipped it to catcher Derek Norris, who tagged Mitch Moreland before Moreland reached the plate.
"You get a gift like that, a nice ball coming right back to you, get the guy at home, get to two outs," Gregerson said, "I just didn't execute my pitches" afterward.
Gregerson said he has no choice but to put the outing behind him and move on, even though the sting lingers.
The blown save also cost Oakland starter Tommy Milone his first victory of the season.
That Milone got into position for the victory qualifies as impressive, considering he fell behind 2-0 and needed 31 pitches in the first inning.
After the shaky first inning, Milone settled down. He needed only 54 pitches to get through the next five innings.
"It was a dogfight," Milone said. "The first three innings were a little rough. ... I kept my composure, settled down and got through those last three innings."
Then again, Milone is accustomed to finding a way to make do, even when he isn't at his sharpest.
That's why Melvin didn't get too concerned when Milone struggled out of the gate.
"He's a battler," Melvin said. "He really doesn't let stuff affect him too much. He gets off to a slow start, he usually finds himself and gives you enough, like again today, to get you through six."
By the time Milone called it a night, the A's secured a 4-3 lead and held it until the ninth. Ryan Cook and Fernando Abad combined for two scoreless innings, at which point Melvin turned to Gregerson.
Choice replaced the injured Shin-Soo Choo atop the order, and he played left field. The A's traded Choice to the Rangers for outfielder Craig Gentry during the offseason, three months after Choice made his major league debut against the Rangers at the Coliseum.
The A's counter with their top prospect, Sonny Gray, in a game between two pitchers with almost identical stats this season. Perez and Gray are 3-0, though Gray's 1.80 ERA is a shade better than Martin's (1.86).
Crisp felt so well that he started Tuesday's game. Melvin said he might be inclined to give Crisp the day off Wednesday.
Crisp had an X-ray on his ribs after Monday's game. The X-ray returned negative, Melvin said. He also has battled wrist and hamstring injuries the first part of the season.
Melvin said O'Flaherty looked "really good" while throwing all his pitches from the regulation 60 feet, 6 inches, both firsts since O'Flaherty started throwing in his recovery from elbow surgery.
Wednesday's game
Texas (Martin Perez 3-0) at A's (Sonny Gray 3-0), 12:35 p.m. CSNCA

Some Migraines Linked to Heart Attack, Blood Clots
Jan. 15, 2013 -- Women who have migraine with aura may have a higher risk of heart attacks, and they may face a higher risk of dangerous blood clots if they use certain hormonal contraceptives.
Those are the findings from two newly published studies to be presented in March at the 65th annual meeting of the American Academy of Neurology in San Diego.
Migraine with aura refers to migraine headaches that are preceded by visual or other sensory symptoms such as flashing lights, blind spots, smell distortion, numbness, or tingling of the hands and face.
About 1 in 4 people with migraines have this type of migraine.
Migraine With Aura Linked to Heart Attack
In the first study, having migraine with aura, but not regular migraines, was a risk factor for heart attacks among middle-aged and older women.
The analysis included data on close to 28,000 women enrolled in the ongoing Women's Health Study.
During 15 years of follow-up, about 1,400 women who had migraine with aura were identified, and there were 1,030 heart attacks, strokes, or deaths from cardiovascular causes.
After having high blood pressure, having migraine with aura was found to be the second strongest contributor to heart attack and stroke risk, according to researcher Tobias Kurth, MD, of Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston and the French National Institute of Health.
Migraine with aura was found in the study to be a bigger risk factor for these cardiovascular conditions than having a family history of early heart disease or having diabetes or being obese or a smoker.
"We have known that migraine with aura is associated with cardiovascular risk," neurologist and migraine specialist Noah Rosen, MD, says. "What is striking about this study is that it shows just how big this risk is."
Rosen directs the Headache Center at the Cushing Neuroscience Institute, of the North Shore-LIJ Health System in Manhasset, N.Y.
Migraines Raised Blood Clot Risk
In the second study, women with migraines who used combined hormonal contraceptives had a higher risk for dangerous deep vein blood clots, and the risk was highest in women with migraine with aura. Combined hormonal contraceptives contain both estrogen and progestin.

I help provide overall direction and management for the Agency, with an emphasis on the Middle East and Africa, oversee implementation of USAID Forward and advancement of presidential initiatives such as food security, global health, climate change, and democracy and governance. But in this small intimate environment –webcast throughout the world—I'm going to let you in on a little secret.
My real day job is to ensure that all our development efforts are implemented in an inclusive manner, in particular drawing on the contributions of previously marginalized and disempowered groups, whether that is women, people with disabilities, indigenous groups, youth, the LGBT community, and religious and ethnic minorities. They must be at the center of our work, and they must be planners, implementers and beneficiaries of all of our development efforts. We have a watchword we use at USAID, "Nothing about them without them."
USAID is proud to be a partner with the GVN in these important efforts to improve the quality of life for people with disabilities. Since 1989, the U.S. Government has provided over $54 million in assistance to people with disabilities, regardless of cause. In collaboration with the GVN and partners such as the Vietnam Assistance to the Handicapped, we have been able to contribute to the development of Vietnam's National Law on Disability, Accessibility Codes and Standards for public transportation, public construction and access to information. In addition, we have been contributing to the establishment of the Blue Ribbon Employer Council that promotes employment for PWDs, the establishment of the National Coordinating Council on Disabilities and the Vietnam Disability Federation to promote enforcement of the disability law and policies.
It is my pleasure to represent the United States Government and the American people at this grant signing ceremony for the Sustaining Malaria Reduction Interventions in Ethiopia program. First, I would like to begin by congratulating Dr. Kesetebirhan, on his promotion to Minister of Health and thank him for his long-standing commitment and contribution to public health and especially to malaria control efforts in Ethiopia.
Today's action plan is an unprecedented approach to coordinate the efforts of more than 30 government offices within seven agencies in 100 countries and to unite them with a common purpose, with three core objectives: Every child survives and gets healthy food, Every child grows up in the protective and nurturing embrace of a family, and Every child is safe from violence and exploitation.
We've always known that achieving these goals is within our power, but today—for the first time—we have a real, evidence-based, results-oriented plan to get us there. It is a plan that doesn't just describe our aspirations, but outlines specific and achievable outcomes we must deliver. And it is a plan that doesn't just describe the challenges we face, but cites specific scientific studies that underpin our learning and inform our new approaches.
I am greatly honored to be here today to launch USAID Ethiopia's flagship program for pastoral Ethiopia called Pastoralist Areas Resilience Improvement through Market Expansion, known by its acronym PRIME. The word "prime" means to catalyze. We aim to catalyze improvements in the livelihoods of pastoral peoples, including the women who play critical economic and social roles in the wellbeing of families and communities; we aim to catalyze livestock production and markets, and to catalyze the ability of those populations most vulnerable to climate change to adapt and respond without undue suffering
Mexico and the United States have a shared border, a shared history, and, increasingly, a shared road to prosperity based on partnership between our two peoples. When they met in Washington in late November, President Obama and President Peña Nieto articulated a common vision that puts even closer economic integration and prosperity at the forefront of the U.S.-Mexico relationship. My visit and the program we are launching today are a tangible reflection of this.
The demand for justice and security is what brings us here today. In Guatemala and other Central American countries, the United States has long emphasized the importance of institutional capacity building. Today is an opportunity to reaffirm our partnership with Guatemala to improve citizen security and bolster the rule of law.
The USAID Security and Justice Sector Reform Project works hand-in-hand with the Supreme Court, the Ministry of Governance, the Public Ministry, the Institute of Public Defense and the National Forensic Institute to improve internal systems and processes thereby building more effective institutions.
HANOI -- It is a pleasure to be here with you today for this important workshop. It's a workshop that will provide an opportunity to review and formulate a policy that will improve the economic livelihood of people living with HIV and AIDS, their families, and communities. But first, you will hear about successful strategies for increasing access to credit and working capital so PLHIV and other vulnerable populations can create employment for themselves and others.
It's wonderful to come together as the year is winding down and the excitement of the holidays and the New Year is beginning. In preparing for today, I was reflecting on all the reasons we've come together over the past few years for townhalls and big events. They've been opportunities to celebrate our work, discuss our concerns, and share some innovative ideas for the future.

Scoliosis surgery repairs abnormal curving of the spine (scoliosis). The goal is to safely straighten your child's spine and align your child's shoulders and hips to correct your child's back problem.
Spinal curvature surgery - child; Kyphoscoliosis surgery - child; Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery - child; VATS - child
Before surgery, your child will receive general anesthesia. This will make your child unconscious and unable to feel pain during the operation.
During surgery, your child's surgeon will use steel rods, hooks, screws, or other metal devices to straighten your child's spine and support the bones of the spine. Bone grafts are placed to hold the spine in the correct position and keep it from curving again.
The surgeon will make at least one surgical cut to get to your child's spine. This cut may be in your child's back, chest, or both places. The surgeon may also do the procedure using a special video camera.
During the surgery:
The surgeon may get bone for the grafts in these ways:
Different surgeries use different types of metal instruments. These are usually left in the body after the bone fuses together. Two of the more common procedures are:
During surgery, the nerves that come from the spine will be watched using special equipment to make sure no damage is done to any of the nerve roots.
Scoliosis surgery usually takes 4 - 6 hours. It may take longer or shorter for some children.
There are several reasons to treat scoliosis:
Braces are often tried first to keep the curve from getting worse.
The choice of when to have surgery will vary.
Surgery is usually recommended for the following children and adolescents with scoliosis of unknown cause (idiopathic scoliosis):
There may be complications with any of the procedures for scoliosis repair.
Risks of any anesthesia are:
Risks of any surgery are:
Possible complications from any scoliosis repair surgery are:
Problems that may develop in the future include:
Tell your child's doctor or nurse what medicines your child is taking. This includes medicines, supplements, or herbs you bought without a prescription.
Before the operation:
During the 2 weeks before the surgery:
On the day of the surgery:
The doctor or nurse will tell you when to arrive at the hospital. Be sure to arrive on time.
Your child will need to stay in the hospital for about 3 - 4 days after surgery. The repaired spine should be kept in its proper position to keep it aligned. If the surgery involved a surgical cut in the chest, your child may have a tube in the chest to drain fluid buildup. This tube is often removed after 24 - 72 hours.
A catheter (tube) may be placed in the bladder the first few days to help your child urinate.
Your child's stomach and bowels may not work for a few days after surgery. Your child may need to receive fluids and nutrition through an intravenous (IV) line.
Your child will receive pain medicine in the hospital. At first, pain medicine may be delivered through a special catheter inserted into your child's back. After that, a pump may be used to control how much pain medicine your child gets. Your child may also get shots or take pain pills.
Your child may have a body cast or a body brace.
Follow any instructions you are given on how to care for your child at home.
Your child's spine should look much straighter after surgery. There will still be some curve. It takes at least 3 months for the spinal bones to fuse together well. It will take 1 - 2 years for them to fuse completely.
Fusion stops growth in the spine. This is not usually a concern because most growth occurs in the long bones of the body, such as the leg bones. Children who have this surgery will probably gain height from both growth in the legs and from having a straighter spine.

Texts don't count, unfortch. These are those phone calls that come at the end of a boring Tuesday, made for no other reason than checking in to see how you're doing. Guys will normally avoid these "just because" phone calls; so if he's making them, chances are good he's been thinking about you all day.
Guys want to make life as easy as possible for themselves, which is why they tend to prefer to have you sleep over instead of crashing at your place. When you start staying at your place more frequently and he doesn't resist, that's a good sign. But when he thoughtfully suggests your place, that's even better. He cares about you and wants to make it easier for you to spend quality time together.

Communications, Culture & Society
Gender roles are formed and reinforced from earliest childhood through family relations, social and cultural strictures and norms. Today, family structures are shifting as nuclear and extended families undergo transformations due to economic and societal changes. The traditional archetype of one father and one mother plus children reflects only 25 percent of families in the U.S. Parental roles are also evolving as single-parent, same-sex couples and adoptive parents become increasingly common. Laws and employment policies are gradually reflecting these changes but more effort needs to be focused on providing family-friendly support from affordable, accessible, quality child and elder care to flexible work arrangements.

Each serving of Platinum Tri-Celle Casein also delivers the relaxing properties of L-theanine to help you make the most of your post-workout recovery. Taken between meals or before bed, we think you'll agree that our slowest casein is the easiest to mix, most versatile and exceptional tasting anti-catabolic protein we've ever made.

Explore Casein's Versatility
Of course, a shaker cup isn't mandatory. Because the powder is instantized, all you really need to create the perfect casein shake is a glass and spoon. Simply add a scoop of Platinum Tri-Celle Casein to 10-12 ounces of water and stir until completely dissolved.
Tip: Adding more water will reduce the shake's thickness and sweetness. Using less will increase thickness and sweetness. Experiment until you find the perfect balance. Using milk and other beverages can increase the nutrient density of your shake, while also adding calories.
Create Performance Stacks
You can further expand on casein's versatility by adding nuts, fresh or frozen fruit, peanut butter and other supplements including glutamine, creatine, BCAA and carbohydrate powders. Some of these stacks may require the use of an electric blender while others can be produced in a shaker cup. Increase or decrease the recommended 10-12 ounces of liquid until you find the right consistency.
Tip: If you're using an electric blender, adding in a couple of ice cubes can make drinking a casein shake seem more like an ice cream shake.
Casein Pudding Recipe
Drinking isn't the only way to enjoy new Platinum Tri-Celle Casein. Treat yourself to a tempting pudding by adding a scoop to 5 ounces of water or milk in a small glass. Mix thoroughly with a spoon and let set in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes. Add sugar free topping or enjoy as is.
Tip: If you have nutrition conscious guests over, use a muffin tin to make multiple servings!
Suggested Use: Intended for healthy adults. Consume enough protein to meet your daily protein requirement with a combination of high protein foods and protein supplements throughout the day as part of a balanced diet and exercise program.

No charges for Sarasota High teacher accused of sexual advances
Published: Thursday, April 25, 2013 at 2:18 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 25, 2013 at 5:52 p.m.
SARASOTA - The Sarasota High band director who was accused of making unwanted sexual advances against a former student will not be charged with a crime, officials said Thursday.
The following are excerpts from the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office investigative report.
From the interview with the 17-year-old girl who said Roseboom groped her:
"She said it was not unusual for her to go to lunch with Roseboom; however, on this particular day he told her to meet him at his house and they would go from there. (She) said that he had taken the day off from school, which seemed odd and she had never been to his house when he was there by himself. (She) said that one she was inside his house, there was no "Hi" or anything; he just pushed her against the wall, started touching her and putting his tongue into her mouth. (She) described his behavior as "so weird, so random." (She) said that she told him you better not do this you will get into trouble and Roseboom stated, "You better not tell anyone." (She) said she convinced him they should just leave and go to lunch. She said that he gathered his things then he grabbed her and started kissing and touching her again. She convinced him to leave and go to lunch and she got into his car with him. (She) said that she quickly realized that was a bad decision because Roseboom was trying to hold her hand and was rubbing his hand on her leg as he was driving.
"(She) said that they went to the Panera near his house and that she had to buy him lunch because he did not have any money. (She) said that the lunch discussion was about him and how he went to a Bachelor Party on a cruise ship. She said he was openly discussing all the young women he was with while on the cruise and talking about all these terrible stories about cheating on his wife. ..."
From the interview with another female student:
(She) stated that Roseboom is really close to some of the girls. She said that Roseboom does frequently hug the female students and kiss them on the forehead. She said that he frequently compliments some of the girls about their clothing such as saying those pants really compliment your figure. She said the only other incident, which seemed strange was on a trip when the girls were sleeping on the bus, Roseboom walked down the aisle taking pictures.

The State Attorney's Office ruled that the "victim appears credible," but there were not enough witnesses or evidence to charge John Roseboom with two counts of battery.
"He's anxious to get back to work," said Peter Collins, Roseboom's attorney. "He's pleased there aren't going to be any charges, although disappointed he had to go through this process."
Roseboom "unequivocally, 100 percent denies any inappropriate contact," Collins said.
The band director — a well known figure at Sarasota High School — was placed on paid administrative leave Feb. 28 and then later reassigned to human resources clerical work because of the ongoing investigation.
District spokesman Scott Ferguson, who was notified Thursday of the news, said no date has been set yet for Roseboom to return to the classroom.
The allegations stem from a December incident in which a former student, now a 17-year-old at State College of Florida, drove to pick Roseboom up at his house for lunch.
Roseboom, a well-known figure at the school, was the "go-to" teacher and like a father figure to many students, the girl told authorities, according to the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office investigation report.
But the girl, who babysat for Roseboom and his wife, thought it was unusual to meet him at his house. It was the first time she had been alone there with Roseboom, who had taken the day off from work, the report said.
"Once she was in his house, there was no 'Hi' or anything. He just pushed her against the wall, started touching her and putting his tongue in her mouth," the report said. The girl "described his behavior as 'so weird, so random.' "
The girl warned Roseboom that he would get in trouble if they moved further, and Roseboom instructed her not to tell anyone, she told authorities during their investigation.
The student convinced Roseboom to go to lunch at Panera Bread, but "she quickly realized that was a bad decision because Roseboom was trying to hold her hand and was rubbing his hand on her leg as he was driving."
At the restaurant, Roseboom did not have any money, so the girl paid $18.91 for their food, the report said.
The conversation at lunch was different from their normal talks: Roseboom allegedly mentioned his affairs and other young women he met during a bachelor party on a cruise ship, she told police in the report.
"Roseboom had a totally different personality, and it seemed so odd that all of this was happening in one day," according to her testimony.
The next day, Roseboom reportedly texted the girl and invited her over, saying he was alone at the house with his daughter for three hours.
The girl told authorities "he was such a different person, that she loved to death before this happened and that this has just destroyed her."
"She doesn't trust him anymore and she is somewhat fearful he might retaliate against her," according to the investigation.
The investigation
On Feb. 27, the girl contacted her former Sarasota Middle School counselor to talk about filing a complaint.
Authorities interviewed current and former students, teachers, school administrators and others during the investigation.
Their testimony often conflicted. Some described Roseboom as a wonderful teacher who had never done anything inappropriate with his students.
Others said there were rumors circulating about him, and Roseboom was known to hug female students, kiss them on the forehead or comment on what they were wearing.
Roseboom, 32, is paid $47,390 annually and has worked at Sarasota County Schools since Aug. 1, 2006.
After an investigation, the Sheriff's Office submitted an affidavit to the State Attorney's Office recommending Roseboom be charged with two counts of battery, according to an interdepartmental memorandum.
But prosecutors said in the same document that "while the victim appears credible, there is not enough evidence to pursue charges at this time."
Roseboom had not been asked to take a polygraph test, so his attorney said he took one independently through a polygraph expert who regularly works with law enforcement. He passed the test, Collins said.
"It was the only way he could show he was truthful when he said it didn't happen," he said.

but so be it. i can tell you for certain that, in the short time i've had these (albeit on some chest-high surf, at best), i don't see a significant difference between these and the FCS fins they replaced. sorry to sideswipe your whole fin gig, but it is what it is.
perhaps when it's overhead and barrelling, as mentioned above, i'll realize the gravity of my error. of course, here on the East Coast, it might be a while before that happens.

Alternatives to Associating with Amazon
But what about you? Why should Amazon be the only choice you have when following a link to find out more information about a book, and possibly to order a copy for yourself? Why should I force you to be the same sort of immoral pox-blight-hemmorhoid as I?
I've stuck with the Amazon Associates program for, as I said on David Moles's blog, reasons of inertia and of not knowing of another website that was as comprehensive and useful. (Amazon even has a widget that works with Blogger and adds Associates links quickly and easily -- it's like crack!) I'd love to use IndieBound, but they don't offer much information on their book pages and, as David points out, good luck trying to do anything with their site if you're not in the U.S. Powells has interesting content and some good information, but they're a bit limited in their stock because they're actual stores. Abebooks is great for used books (it's where I check first for used books these days, because the prices often are less than used books at Amazon and the booksellers tend to be a little bit better at describing the actual conditions of the books they're selling).*
On David's blog, I suggested The Book Depository as a possible alternative, since it offers free worldwide shipping, and then saw Cheryl had had some similar thoughts and was asking publishers, especially, for feedback on their experiences. I've used TBD to order books from the UK and have been thrilled with their service, and they also have links for lots of American editions. I may switch over to a combination of them and Abebooks (because I do sometimes reference out of print titles, and good as TBD is, you can't order Crybaby of the Western World from them).
Or maybe I'll just mix it up more ... sometimes using Amazon, sometimes others. That allows more of an international approach, too. Anybody have any preferences? I know a few of you occasionally order books through the links here (and other people order stuff like household appliances, which I'm really grateful for, because I get far more money back when you order an $800 widget than I do when you order a $10 book!) For me what matters is that wherever the links go, they provide information -- my primary goal here is not to sell you books, but to give you information and opinions about them. It's nice if the links can occasionally provide some money, too, since I don't have ads on the site and do put a lot of time into it all, so a passive and unobtrusive form of fundraising seems like an okay thing to me, and I've never minded such links on other people's sites. But I don't know what blog readers other than myself think about all this, so I'm legitimately curious.
*Update 2/1: As noted in the comments, Amazon is buying AbeBooks, which also gives them a 40% share in LibraryThing. So ... it was a good thought....
11 comments:
I like to point to librarything (as in http://www.librarything.com/work/47894/book/122757). That doesn't give me any money (I wasn't making any with Amazon anyway) and the info page has several places to go buy it so the user decides (there's a link to ABE and Amazon on Al's book there in the right hand corner.ReplyDelete
I second using librarything.com, you can tag books into your own categories too, not just links to a book.ReplyDelete
Bookstores and libraries both have shelves of books, but I bet your own bookshelf is more like a library than a bookshop.
I link to the librarything entry and people can work out their own way to thir favourite bookstore online.
Cool beans -- I'll check out LibraryThing. I might have created an account there years ago, but I haven't ever spent any time looking at it, thinking mostly it was for cataloguing one's own library. Being sometimes obtuse, it never occured to me to use it for blog links, but that does make sense.ReplyDelete

You're going to hate me for this -- and I rather hate myself for mentioning it -- but: Amazon To Acquire AbeBooks, And With It A Stake In LibraryThing (2008-08-01). I heard about the AbeBooks-Amazon connection only a couple days ago myself, sigh.ReplyDelete
-- Michael S.
arh, well then, it's either them or google now,ReplyDelete
and I almost don't care now when Microsoft or Murdoch buy something
I won't blame you, Michael -- I try to avoid shooting the messenger when I can! But yes, it does just make me want to sign my soul over to Satan and let him chew. (Heck, it worked for my Big Uncle Dick, so...)ReplyDelete
I'm uncomfortable with Amazon too, but it does offer a convenient solution with the widest choice for second-hand English books if you live on the continent, though Better World Books is an excellent alternative for American editions, with a fixed and reasonable shipping charge per book, and even better, support for literacy programmes.ReplyDelete
I also prefer The Book Depository for new books and have had excellent experience with their speed and general service.
- Anonymous2/02/2010 8:00 PM
Regarding your update: Actually, Amazon's acquisition of AbeBooks (and LibraryThing with it) was completed 2008-12-01; it's a done deal, and has already had various unfortunate repercussions. I probably should have provided a more recent link.ReplyDelete
-- Michael S.
I've been using Book Depository exclusively for the last 18 months - excellent, fast service and the books end up being dirt cheap as well (compared to, well, anywhere that charges shipping really). Very highly recommend them.ReplyDelete
A great site for new and used books is bookfinder.com--I don't know that you could link to them since it's a filter website, but it pulls together abebooks, ebay, amazon, etc, and compares prices. For used books, another good site is alibris.com--the books I've gotten from them have all been as described.ReplyDelete
Hm, interesting news about LT and Abe. I recommend BetterWorld Books and GoodReads.ReplyDelete

I'm trying to play this stream http://cctv.ws/7/BBC1 using PS3 Media Player (1.20.409). I have added it to my WEB.conf like this:
I can see the BBC1 folder as an option on the PS3 and then in that folder is 'BBC1 [VideoLan Video Streaming]*'. When I try to play that, I just get a blank screen. Eventually the play icon appears on the PS3 display as if it's about to start playing, but it's still just a blank screen no matter how long I wait. No audio, nothing. The status screen of the PS3 Media Player page shows that it is doing stuff (screenshot first file here: http://lukesaunders.me.uk/ps3mp/) but just nothing on the PS3 end. In that folder (http://lukesaunders.me.uk/ps3mp/) you can also see the debug.log and the WEB.conf as well as the transcoder settings as a screenshot.
When I play this steam directly in VLC (0.98) it works fine but just not via the media player. I also tried running the Linux version of the beta build under Ubuntu 10.4 with the same settings but the same thing happened. I tried downgrading to 1.10 on OSX but then the stuff in WEB.conf was ignored entirely so presumably support for this is new. Another thing to add is that one time the stream did work, but when I tried again with the exact same settings it was just the blank screen again.
Any ideas of something I can try to make it work?
EDIT: extra bit of info - the PS3 and Mac are both on wired ethernet connections and so there's tons of bandwidth between them (streaming HD mkv files is no problem)

BEAVER CREEK, Colorado - The Vilar Performing Arts Center is once again embracing its love for local residents with its fall Underground Sound series, created to introduce fans to new music with up-and-coming artists with performances at an affordable price. The Underground Sound Access Pass, which includes seven concerts and seven drinks for $98, features artists performing on Sundays at the Vilar Center at 7:30 p.m. this fall. The Underground Sound Access Pass goes on sale Monday. The pass is completely transferable and available at the first performance on Sept. 23 (individual tickets also are for sale for each performance). Paula Cole will kick off the series with a few old favorites, including "Where have all the Cowboys Gone?" and "I Don't Want to Wait." On Sept. 30, fans will be introduced to rising folk singer William Fitzsimmons, an artist perfect for fans of groups such as Iron & Wine, Bon Iver and The Civil Wars."By purchasing the pass, you're taking a chance to broaden your musical library with names you may or may not be familiar with," said Kris Sabel, executive director for the Vilar Performing Arts Center. "Connecting fans with new music is an important part of our mission, and the pass is great because it's affordable and easy to share with others. Take a chance with some of these artists, and I guarantee you'll see a great show." The series continues with Leon Redbone, a classic folk-jazz sensation, on Oct. 7; Gregory Alan Isakov, recently named best acoustic folk artist by The Westword, on Oct. 14; Danielle Ate the Sandwich, a solid young songwriter with more than six million hits on YouTube to date, on Oct. 21; The Motet Plays Parliament Funkadelic, a 14-piece super group sure to bring a big Halloween dance party to the Vilar Center, on Oct. 28; and Jaimee Paul, whose voice has been compared to the likes of Aretha Franklin, on Nov. 4."One way to look at this pass is to consider that you're getting shows like The Motet and Paula Cole for $14 per show," Sabel said. "This is a fun, low-risk way to enjoy some incredible shows and discover some new music at a fantastic venue."The passes are transferable, making them a perfect gift for a friend or family member.Tickets for the VPAC's 2012 Underground Sound Series are on sale Monday and available online at vilarpac.org, by phone at 970-845-TIXS or in person at the VPAC Box Office in Beaver Creek.

CLEVELAND — Coco Crisp returned to the A's starting lineup Friday with the club starting a three-game weekend series in Cleveland.
Crisp hurt his neck and spine hitting the wall while making a catch in the first game of a doubleheader against Seattle on May 7. He'd missed seven games since, with the A's having gone 6-1 in those seven games.
The A's depth helped cover for Crisp when he was out. John Jaso and Craig Gentry divided the starts while Crisp was sidelined and went a combined 12-for-30 (.400) with two doubles, three homers three walks, nine runs scored and four RBIs.
Oakland will have new addition Kyle Blanks in uniform Friday night, although the first baseman/outfielder is not in the starting lineup. The A's acquired him in a trade from San Diego on Thursday and he'll get most of his work against left-handed starting pitchers and as a pinch-hitter.
Cleveland is starting three right-handers this weekend, so Blanks likely will have to wait for his first start with Oakland.
For more on the A's, see John Hickey's Inside the A's blog at ibabuzz.com/athletics. Follow him on Twitter at twitter.com/JHickey3.

The mission of the W. M. Keck Observatory is to advance the frontiers of astronomy and share our discoveries with the world. We feel that one of the best ways to give back to our local community is to help schools and other youth groups learn about the Universe and how mankind has studied it.
A committed team of our employees specializes in leading group activities for kids to teach them about astronomy and science. We invite teachers and adult leaders of scouting and similar organizations to contact us and arrange a visit. We offer several options which are suitable for different groups. All activities are free of charge; however, due to demand we may not be able to grant every request. We give preference to teachers whose students are studying astronomy, planetary science and physics in their classes.
Due to the heath hazards of high altitude, as well as other safety, operational and liability concerns, we are unable to accomodate summit tours of students less than 16 years of age. We also cannot accomodate tour groups of any kind that exceed a total of 15 individuals. Additionally, all tours must be requested at least one month in advance in order to guarantee that adequate staff are available to handle any health-related emergencies that might arise.

Homosexuality a Choice
Published: Wednesday, April 10, 2013 at 12:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 9, 2013 at 8:12 p.m.
On April 4, U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson [D-Fla.] changed his position and decided to endorse gay marriage. To explain this change he said, "the Lord made homosexuals as well as heterosexuals."
For the record, the Lord does not make homosexuals. The Lord makes individuals.
Then he gives those individuals instructions, the Bible, on how he wants them to live their lives. He also gives them the free will to decide whether to follow those instructions or not.
Homosexuality is a choice, plain and simple.

With the Bush administration considering smallpox vaccinations for military personnel and civilian health workers as a defense against a possible biological terror attack, researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham are reexamining the deadly virus in hopes of finding a safer shield against it.
Elliot Lefkowitz, a microbiologist and researcher at UAB said scientists are analyzing the genetics of the smallpox virus and other orthopox viruses to try to find a safer alternative.
Experts estimate that 15 out of every one million people vaccinated for the first time will face life-threatening complications, and one or two will die.
Researchers at UAB and St. Louis University are working on a $3.6 million project to find and store information about the genomes of orthopox viruses.
Lefkowitz also said scientists may try to develop medications to treat smallpox, an approach that may prove safer. He estimated that researchers could develop a newer, safer vaccine within a few years.
