3.2 HSSPF Russia South and Einsatzgruppe C
3.2.1In the course of extending the murders into the southern part of the Front, the HSSPF Jeckeln as well as the lst SS Brigade played a major role. The 1st SS Brigade, which was under the command of Jeckeln, moved to the murder of Jewish women when they took on a "cleansing operation" between July 27 and July 30 in the area of Zwiahel.136 In Jeckeln's command to the Brigade it was stated that - apart from Front Commissars - also suspicious "female agents or Jews...were to be handled appropriately".137
3.2.2As a result of this "action", the Brigade reported that they had arrested, among others, 1658 Jews; 800 people, "Jewish men and women from 16 to 60 years old" had been shot.138 Subsequent to this "action", on 4 August, units of this Brigade carried out further "actions" and shot 1385 people under the same pretext, among them 275 women and 1109 Jewish men.139
3.2.3In the following weeks Jeckeln ordered the lst. SS Brigade to carry out further "cleansing operations". Members of the Brigade shot 232 Jews on 7 August in Tschernjychow, 300 Jewish men and 139 women in Sarokonstantinow around 20 August, and "1009 Jews and Red Army men" and in the period between 2 September and 7 September ."140
3.2.4At the end of August, the Brigade under Jeckeln's command carried out a massacre in Kamenetsk-Podolsk which exceeded all previous "actions". According to the event report from 22 August, "a Commando of the Higher SS and Police Leader... shot 23,600 Jews" (men, women and children) within 3 days.141 The victims of Kamenetsk-Podolsk were mainly Jews who had been deported over the border into the newly conquered area in Galicia by Hungarian officials as "burdensome foreigners". The proof that this massacre was systematically prepared is documented in the minutes of the meeting which was held on 25 August at the Headquarters of the Generalquartermaster of the Army in Vinniza. On this occasion, an officer of the staff of the Generalquartermaster referred to a pledge by Jeckeln to complete the liquidation of the Jews deported to the area of Kamenetsk-Podolsk by 1 September.142 From the number of Jews deported from Hungary, 18.000, it can be concluded that about 14.000 to 16.000 were shot at the end of August about 15 Km from Kamenetsk-Potolsk by Jeckeln's staff company, the Police Battalion 320 as well as by Ukrainian and Hungarian militia. In addition, thousands of local Jews were shot.143
3.2.5After the "altogether 44,125 people, mostly Jews" who were shot, in August alone, according to the event reports of the "Formation of the Higher SS and Police Leaders",144 Jeckeln continued the massacres; in the first days of September, in Berditschw, as stated in event reports, "1303 Jews, among them 876 Jewish women over 12 years old" were killed by a Commando of the Higher SS and Police Leaders Russia South.145 The murder of over 3000 Jews still living in the ghetto of Shitomir, on 19 September, in which the SK 4a was involved, must also have been largely Jeckeln's responsibility.146
3.2.6Finally, Jeckeln played a leading role in the massacre of the Jews of Kiev at Babi Jar, where the SK 4a, the Police Regiment South with the Battalion 45 and 303 and a Company of the Waffen SS were involved. This massacre, by which 33,771 Jews were murdered according to the event reports,147 was planned on September 16 in a meeting where Jeckeln, the Chief of the EG C, Rasch, the Leader of the SK 4a, Blobel as well as the City Commander of the Wehrmacht were present. This mass murder was justified as "retaliation" for a major fire in the city that was supposedly set by Jews.
3.2.7Jeckeln also played a central role in the massacre of the Jews of Dnjepreprotowsk on 13 October, where according to the event reports, out of some 30.000 Jews in the city, "approximately 10.000 were shot by a commando of the Higher SS and Police Leaders on 13 October, 1941". In this series of massacres under Jeckeln's personal management up to October, 1941, more than 100.000 people were murdered.
3.2.8This series of mass murders are the basis for the activities of EG C and the Police Battalion placed in the southern parts of the occupied Soviet Union in late summer and fall. These units were already in part directly involved in the major "actions" initiated by Jeckeln. Jeckeln was the one who gave the decisive impulse which lead the commandos and police battalions to go over to the total extermination of the Jewish population.
3.2.9- Erwin Schulz, the Commando Leader of EK 5 testified during his stay in Berditschew (where the unit was stationed between the end of July and the middle of August) that Rasch, Commander of the EG C, had called him to Shitomir in order to explain to him that not only those Jews who were employed but also their wives and children were to be shot. This order, according to Rasch, came from Jeckeln.148
3.2.10The total eradication of all inhabitants of a location, including the women and children by the EK 5 can be documented as of the middle of September. On 15 September, the town of Bogusslaw, as explained in an event report, "because of the execution of 322 Jews and 13 communist functionaries" was declared "free of Jews."149 On 22 and 23 September, the EK 5 in Uman carried out a "major action" in which, according to their own report, 1412 Jews were shot.150 In Cybulow on 25 September, 70 Jews were shot, 537 Jews (men, women and children) on 4 October in Perejeslas and in Koschewatoje shortly thereafter "all Jews of this place." were executed.151
3.2.11On the basis of the generalized order to murder issued in August, the number of the people killed by the EK 5 increased considerably: For the period from 7 September to 5 October, the Commando reported that "207 political functionaries, 112 saboteurs and looters as well as 8800 Jews had been liquidated".152 A few weeks later, the Commando reported that "The number of those executed by the EK 5 was altogether 15.110 on 20 October 1941.153
3.2.12- The EK 6 (sub-unit Kronberger) shot Jewish women starting in October in Kriwoj-Rog, after Himmler had inspected this place on 3 October. On 20 October, Krivoj Rog was declared "free of Jews" (judenfrei)."154 In the event report of 19 November Commando 6 stated that "1000 further Jews had been shot".155
3.2.13- In the area of Shitomir from the beginning of August, the Commando 4 a shot women in great numbers, shortly thereafter also children.156 Thus also in Bjelaja-Zerkow 500 men and women were shot on 8 or 9 August, the Jewish children on 19 August and on 22 August, by the advance party of SK 4a, which was scheduled to go to Kiev.157 According to the reports of the Commando, in the month of August, in Fastov "the entire Jewish population aged 12 to 60, altogether 252 head, shot"158 . In Radomyschle on 6 September, 1668 Jewish men, women and children were executed.159 Also in Shitomir, their main base where a ghetto had been set up, the Commando proceeded to murder all Jewish inhabitants regardless of age or sex. After multiple mass executions in the second half of August with several thousand people as victims, 3145 Jews were shot in the course of liquidating the ghetto on 19 September 1941, according to the report of the Commando.160
3.2.14- The Police Battalion 45, which belonged to the Police Regiment South, proceeded to murder Jews regardless of their age or sex at the end of July-beginning of August. The first victims were the entire Jewish population of the town of Schepetowka, where the Battalion had been based between 26 July and 1 August, 1941; according to the declaration of the Battalion Commander, Besser, made after the war, this involved 40 to 50 men and women, probably however even more.161 Besser declared on this point that he had been following an order of the Commander of the Police Regiment South, who in turn referred to a general order for liquidation issued by Himmler.162
3.2.15In the following weeks, the Battalion repeated this pattern in other Ukrainian villages: among others, it killed Jewish men and women in Slawuta (according to the declaration of the HSSPF Russia South this included 522 persons),163 in Sudylkow (471 dead) as well as in Berditschew (1000 victims).164 When Besser's successor, Rosenbauer, was being briefed on his tasks as Battalion Commander by the Higher SS and Police Leader of Russia South, Jeckeln, he was given very clear instructions, according to his own statements: "Jeckeln said that the order of Reichsführer SS Himmler was the basis for the solution of the Judenfrage: The Ukrainians should become a Helot (slave) people who work only for us. We had no interest, however, in having the Jews multiply: therefore the Jewish population had to be exterminated."165
3.2.16- Also the Police Battalion 314, which belonged to the Police Regiment South as well, shot women and children as early as July. This can be documented for the first time in the case of a company of the Battalion on 22 July in a place in the area of Kovel: in the private diary of a member of the Battalion it is stated that on this day 217 people, among them entire families, had been shot.166

13 Excuses Super-Fit Chicks Never Make
Hate to exercise? These expert tips will motivate you to reach for your running shoes
So instead of plopping the kids in front of a DVD while you run on the treadmill (or, OK, take a nap), put your iPod on and have a living room dance party or head outside and play. Vokshoor says just seeing nature can be an easy motivator to get moving, and doing activities that made you happy as a kid can help too.

Great article.

This article does a nice job at pointing out hurtles in adopting a lifestyle of working out. It does not however emphasize the lifestyle changes needed to keep fit beyond working out. Simply creating habits like walking a mile to work from the bus stop and going out of your way to be thoughtful of the food you eat, makes a much greater difference in health than a rigorous work out regime without lifestyle change.

Is European Car Industry Poised for Recovery?
DETROIT—In a rare sign of hope for the struggling European automotive industry, Delphi Automotive PLC Chief Executive Rodney O'Neal said Tuesday the worst there may now be over as the sector bottoms out and could finish the year on a small uptick.
"We are no longer seeing things going south," Mr. O'Neal said Tuesday after the auto-parts maker reported a lower fourth-quarter net income that still beat analyst expectations. "We think things will bounce along the bottom during the year and then we will see a slight uptick. Nothing radical—a slight uptick."
The brighter outlook for Europe is the first in an auto industry where auto makers are still bracing for declines this year. Ford Motor Co., for example, warned last week its operating losses in Europe would hit $2 billion or $500 million more than it estimated three months ago. General Motors Co. is considering a plan to close a German plant two years earlier than expected to help cut costs.
Auto suppliers, however, traditionally are the first to flag market trends since the orders the receive for their parts are done months in advance. Mr. O'Neal said he has seen some shifting of new vehicle introductions on the part of his auto maker customers but there have been no full-scale order cancellations. Delphi is also banking the uptick based on future orders for its products which includes fuel injectors, electronics and wiring.

March 13, 2012 -- Nearly two-thirds of sexually active young women don't get regular chlamydia tests, a CDC study finds.
That means more than 9 million young American women don't know whether they've been infected, study leader Karen Hoover, MD, MPH, said in a teleconference from this week's National STD Prevention Conference in Minneapolis.
And the odds of being infected are pretty high: Chlamydia is the most common STD, as well as the most common reportable infection in the U.S.
"There were 1.3 million reported cases of chlamydia in 2010, but the CDC believes the actual number is more than twice that -- 2.8 million new cases each year in the U.S.," Gail Bolan, MD, director of STD prevention at the CDC, said at the teleconference.
Among women, nearly 5% of 19-year-olds and more than 1% of 15-year-olds are infected. Men are at least as likely to be infected. But it's women who suffer the most severe consequences. That's because chlamydia infection often is silent -- without symptoms -- until the infection becomes more serious.
Left untreated, 10% to 15% of women will get pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). And up to 15% of those women will be left infertile. And some will die from chlamydia-related ectopic pregnancy.
The CDC recommends an annual chlamydia test for any sexually active woman age 25 and younger. Women over age 25 should get annual tests if they have a new sex partner or have multiple sex partners. Routine screening isn't recommended for men.
Chlamydia: Test and Retest
When diagnosed, chlamydia is easily treated. But treatment isn't permanent, as Kelly Morrison Opdyke, MPH, and colleagues found in another conference presentation.
Opdyke's Cicatelli Associates Inc. team studied 63,774 people who tested positive for chlamydia from 2007 to 2009. They found that 25% of men and 16% of women have a new chlamydia infection when retested within six months.
And those are just the people who get another test. People who show up for screening tests tend to be healthier than those who don't. Yet only 11% of men and 21% of women got that chlamydia retest in the Opdyke study.

In response to Kevin Kenney's letter berating our schools as the cause of our youth having little or no morals, I cry foul.
If Kenney or any other parent wants to instill a Christian or religious morality into their offspring, then by all means indoctrinate them to your heart's content into your chosen religious faith or belief. It is every American's right to freedom of religion.
Instead of bemoaning the lack of public prayer or morals in schools, why not provide the proper home and religious institutional settings that encourage prayer and religious morals? Go to church every day of the year. Pray six times a day if you think that will help resolve you and your children's religious morality issues. It is your right.
If any parent feels a son or daughter isn't getting the proper morals at a public school, then it is your right to not send your children to public schools. But don't blame public schools for parents' failure to bring up their children in a religious moral fashion of the parents' choosing. That is the responsibility of the parents to provide and teach.
In the context of our politicos when being thought of as pandering: "In pandering, the views one is verbally expressing are merely for the purpose of drawing support up to and including votes and do not necessarily reflect one's personal values." Perhaps Kenney had another thought in mind when he wished more politicos would "pander" to religion.
Kenney appears to be a Christian, based on quotes from his letter, and seems to imply that "social justice" is a dirty word. Although I am not a biblical scholar, I think I can safely say that Jesus Christ was a great teacher, if not the greatest, of and for social justice.

A hard-hitting, hard-nosed defenseman, Jamie Macoun could be counted on to stand up for his teammates and do whatever it took to win back when the Flames won the Stanley Cup in 1989.
"Cooner" demonstrates the same drive and enthusiasm he displayed during his hockey career as the co-owner of a Ford Lincoln dealership in Orangeville, Ontario, and when using his real estate licence to close the deal for prospective home buyers here in Calgary.
Proudly representing the Flames Alumni, Jamie journeyed to Afghanistan where he was deeply moved by how a simple, physical expression of support could mean so much to our soldiers.
"Because I was a civilian I could give a soldier a hug, and they were not shy at all about hugging you right back, because they're not allowed to touch each other over there. No physical contact allowed. So I gave a lot of hugs realizing that so many mothers and fathers over there haven't seen their children or their spouses for literally months and months."
Jamie lives in Calgary and has plenty of hugs for his three kids; twenty-one year old Colin, eighteen-year old Kati, and fifteen-year old Jenna.

Navy to Attempt First Drone Landing on Carrier
The U.S. Navy for the first time Wednesday will attempt to land an unmanned drone on the deck of an aircraft carrier — a maneuver considered one of the most difficult in military aviation.
Update: Read how the landing went.
Unlike unmanned aircraft flown by the Air Force, the Navy drones are semi-autonomous. Sailors give the order to launch and land the plane, but a computer and a set of specialized algorithms actually perform the complex calculations necessary to land on a moving ship.
If the landing is successful, the Navy plans to retire its two semi-autonomous X-47B drones, sending them to Navy museums at the Naval Air Station in Patuxent River, Md., and Pensacola, Fla. The two drones are demonstrator aircraft—designed and built to show that an unmanned plane can land on a Navy ship.
The Navy plans to begin accepting draft proposals to build another drone beginning in August. Boeing, Northrup Grumman, General Atomics and Lockheed Martin are expected to compete to build the next-generation drone known as the UCLASS, or Unmanned Carrier-Launched Air Strike and Surveillance program. Navy officials hope the drones will begin to be built and enter operations over the next three to six years.
"All of that knowledge out of the X-47B program is being transferred to the UCLASS," said Rear Adm. Mat Winter, the program executive officer for unmanned aviation. "The UCLASS will benefit from all we have done with X-47B and go forward."
Navy officials plan to have the X-47B drone dubbed "Salty Dog 502″ make the landing on Wednesday. It will take off from the Patuxent River facility and fly to the USS George H.W. Bush in the waters off Norfolk, Va.
Sailors from Patuxent River initially will control the drone, but will hand it over to the USS Bush as the X-47B approaches the aircraft carrier. The drone is scheduled to fly around the carrier before making its first approach. It will be waved off on that attempt and then go around for a second.
While the drone is operating autonomously, the landing signal officer on the USS Bush will have direct control of the X-47B and can tell it when to land.
Here's the tricky part: On the second attempt, the X-47B will be instructed to land on the deck of the aircraft carrier. The operators must gingerly position the drone so its tailhook can snag cables stretched across the deck to bring it to a stop.
Navy officials believe the landing will be historic— even comparing it to the dawn of naval aviation in 1911.
"Your grandchildren and great grandchildren, and mine, will be reading about this historic event in their history books," said Adm. Winter. "This is not trivial."
He added: "Within Naval aviation …. there is no disagreement landing an aircraft on an aircraft carrier is the most demanding task."
While the $1.4 billion X-47B program will end and the drones will be retired to the museums, Navy officials insist the technology and know-how developed in the program will live on and guide the next generation of Navy drone.
The next drones will have surveillance capabilities and possibly some weaponry.

3.10-5 Product Liability - Malfunction Doctrine
New December 9, 2011
When direct evidence of a specific defect is
unavailable, you may rely on circumstantial evidence to infer that the product that
malfunctioned was defective at the time it left the defendant's control if the plaintiff
has presented evidence establishing that (1) the incident that caused the plaintiff's
harm was of a kind that ordinarily does not occur in the absence of a product defect,
and (2) any defect most likely existed at the time the product left the defendant's
control and was not the result of other reasonably possible causes, such as operator
error, not attributable to the defendant. These two inferences, taken together,
permit you to link the plaintiff's injury to a product defect attributable to the
The malfunction theory does not relieve the
plaintiff of proving that the product in question was defective. However, it does permit
you to infer the existence of a defect without direct evidence of same.
Metropolitan Property & Casualty Ins. Co. v. Deere & Co.,
302 Conn. 123, 132-49 (2011).
This charge must be given in conjunction with the
circumstantial evidence charge, Direct and Circumstantial Evidence, Instruction 2.4-1.
The type of circumstantial evidence may "includ[e] evidence of (1) the history and use of
the particular product, (2) the manner in which the product malfunctioned, (3) similar
malfunctions in similar products that may negate the possibility of other causes, (4)
the age of the product in relation to its life expectancy, and (5) the most likely causes
of the malfunction." Metropolitan Property & Casualty Ins. Co. v. Deere & Co., supra,
302 Conn. 140-41. "If lay witnesses and common experience are not sufficient to remove
the case from the realm of speculation, the plaintiff will need to present expert
testimony to establish a prima facie case." Id., 141.

Athens, GA - The Georgia men's tennis team was tripped up on the final day of play at the 2012 Southern Intercollegiate Championships at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex on Monday morning – the 45th annual event featuring the best college players from around the region.
Junior Hernus Pieters fell just short as he sought his third Southern Intercollegiate title, dropping his Division I singles championship match 6-4, 6-0 to Ole Miss' Jonas Lutjen. Pieters had reached today's final with a solid outing Sunday as he defeated Georgia Tech's Juan Spir in the quarterfinals and Virginia Tech's Andreas Bjerrehus in the semis.
Pieters won the Division II singles title as well as the Division I doubles title in 2010 as a freshman.
Also on Monday morning the Bulldog doubles team of sophomore Nathan Pasha and freshman Ben Wagland were defeated by an 8-4 score by Clemson's team of Dominique and Yannick Maden in the Division I semifinals.
"I'm sure the guys are disappointed," said head coach Manuel Diaz. "We played some great tennis this weekend, especially Hernus. I thought he did well today up until it was 4-4, 40-15, and both players were extremely tired. I felt like he was doing well and then double faulted a couple times in a row and played a loose point after that, and Jonas capitalized. He was just a little better in the big points today."
"We can learn a lot from this tournament and the players about themselves," Diaz said. "We definitely have some talent – we've got to get our freshman to continue to mature. They need to be tougher against the tough competition, and I think now they realize how fast our league and our region is, and know what to expect. We need to keep our emotions under control and keep our poise in the big moments, because that was the difference."
Full results from the Southern Intercollegiates can be found online at Georgiadogs.com.
Georgia is next in action Sept. 21-23 at the Napa Valley Tennis Classic in Napa, Calif.

Every year students and families must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the appropriate award year in order to be considered for federal financial aid (including student loans).
Which FAFSA? Terms/Semesters Award Year2016-17 Fall 2016, Spring 2017, Summer 2017 2016-20172015-16 Fall 2015, Spring 2016, Summer 2016 2015-2016You should file the FAFSA as soon after January 1 as possible. While the FAFSA is easier to complete after federal income tax returns have been filed, you may file the FAFSA using estimates of your/your parents' earnings for the previous year. If you estimate earnings, you should update the FAFSA with accurate tax information once it becomes available.
In order to be considered for all available need-based aid, the FAFSA should be received by the federal processor by March 1. FAFSAs may be filed throughout the school year, but funds are limited in many programs. In any case, FAFSAs must be filed in time for application data to be transmitted from the federal processor to the school so that awards can be made prior to the time a student ceases enrollment.
Keep copies of all forms you and your family used in completing the FAFSA. You should print a copy of your electronic application or your completed paper FAFSA for your records.
In order for the Winthrop University Office of Financial Aid to receive your processed FAFSA information, you must list our federal code number 003456 on the application.
If you prefer not to file an electronic application, you may download, print and complete a PDF FAFSA from the fafsa.ed.gov website or call the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1-800-4-FED-AID to request a paper copy.
Before you begin filing the FAFSA online, make sure you have the following items:
When completing the FAFSA, report your name exactly as it appears on your Social Security card. Do not use nicknames, abbreviations, or middle names as first names. The U.S. Department of Education requires that your name on the FAFSA identically match your name on Social Security Administration records. You will be required to submit additional documentation should a name conflict occur.
Once the Office of Financial Aid has received your application data from the processor, you may be requested to provide additional documentation. The federal processor selects approximately 30 percent of all applicants for a verification process. This means the Office of Financial Aid must collect certain documents to confirm the accuracy of the information you provided on your FAFSA.
The financial aid application process is considered complete when the Office of Financial Aid receives a valid FAFSA/Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR) from the federal processor AND the verification process (if required) and any requests for other documentation (citizenship, Selective Service registration, etc.) are submitted and processed.
Once the financial aid application process is complete and you are fully admitted to the University, you will receive an email notification directing you to Wingspan to view your financial aid award package. You must then indicate whether you accept or decline each financial aid program offered on Wingspan in order to finalize the award process. Please note: If you have been awarded a South Carolina scholarship or grant, you must agree to the information on the Terms and Conditions tab before you may accept/decline your award package on Wingspan.
To be eligible for any form of federal or state financial aid, you must meet the following requirements:
Begin the FAFSA on the Web now
Financial assistance awarded from federal, state, or institutional grants or loans will appear as credits on your statement of account for each semester. Statements for the fall term are usually mailed in early July. Statements for the spring term are mailed in November.

As the White House and lawmakers negotiate a major immigration overhaul, two political gatekeepers could open or close doors to its passage in Congress.
One is a conservative South Carolinian swept into power by the tea party movement of 2010. The other is a Silicon Valley liberal stalwart fighting for immigrants since the 1970s.
They are key congressional players at a time when the growing clout of Latino and Asian-American voters has energized reform-minded Democrats and driven Republicans to reconsider their long held hard line on immigration.
And in interviews with the Bay Area News Group, U.S. Reps. Zoe Lofgren, D-San Jose, and Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., spoke optimistically about bipartisan immigration reform -- illustrating a marked shift on an issue where compromise has long seemed impossible.
If lawmakers can pass an immigration bill by year's end to settle a long, divisive debate, it "will be the last time in my generation that we have to have this conversation," Gowdy said. The former federal prosecutor is the new chairman of the immigration subcommittee in the House of Representatives, which has an important role in driving legislation forward. Lofgren has long been its ranking Democrat.
"Before these last few weeks, he had a very aggressive, hard-line approach to immigration," Lofgren said, praising Gowdy for what she sees as a "helpful" and changing tone.
"Obviously, tone is not the same as legislation," she said.
Gowdy won accolades from immigration restrictionists last year when he grilled Obama administration officials for bypassing Congress to grant work permits to young illegal immigrants. Now, he speaks of mass deportation as an "absolutely noxious" government intrusion, says he hopes to debunk the myth of illegal immigrants being an economic burden and is open to resolving the debate with a "synthesis between humanity and respect for the rule of law."
And no, he said, this is not a change of heart. He sees himself as largely a blank slate whose immigration policy views are shaped by Christian compassion and years in the courtroom as a prosecutor probing for facts.
Beginning as early as next week, Gowdy plans to hold hearings to "see what consensus emerges."
He commended Lofgren, a former immigration attorney who has taught the subject at Santa Clara University, for being a "very bright, thoughtful person" whose immigration views are grounded in the law and factual analysis.
In an interview in her San Jose office, Lofgren laid out "three pillars" she says must be in the comprehensive immigration reform bill being trumpeted by President Barack Obama as well as many top Democrats and Republicans in Congress.
One is border enforcement, "so you can track and control who comes in and how," but Lofgren rejects Republican arguments that would make this the paramount cause.
"We have done a huge amount" already, Lofgren said. "If the standard is to hermetically seal" the United States, "it's not possible," she said.
She has been skeptical of E-Verify, the system that many Republicans want made mandatory for all employers to halt the flows of illegal immigrants by using a federal database to verify job eligibility. Lofgren, however, said she would reconsider her opposition if legislation addresses the economic forces and visa restrictions causing farms and other employers to rely on undocumented labor.
A second pillar, she said, is expanding access to permanent residency visas for needed workers -- from farm laborers to engineers -- by allowing them to come here legally and keep their families together. Leaders of both parties have touted visa reform.
The third pillar is the one hardest for Republicans to accept: a path to citizenship for most of the nation's 11 million illegal immigrants.
Some, however, are suggesting ways. Leading the new GOP approach is Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., who would offer legal status and eventual citizenship to some illegal immigrants if they pay a fine and line up for a green card through marriage, employer sponsorship or other routes of legal immigration. Gowdy said he finds Rubio's vision "provocative, interesting and appealing" after talking with him last week." More than six in 10 Americans now favor allowing illegal immigrants to eventually become U.S. citizens, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll released Tuesday, a significant increase over years past. A CNN poll found a similar shift.
Democrats, Lofgren said, will not accept partial legalization that makes immigrants a "permanent underclass" unable to ever achieve citizenship.
The compromise prospects are looking better than ever, Lofgren said, because of Obama's historic re-election support among Latinos and Asian-Americans. "People who do the analysis believe that there won't be another Republican president until they can mend the poor image they have with those fast-growing segments of the electorate," Lofgren said.
"Part of that is immigration. ... Until they get right on that, they can't move on to any other subject. I've talked to a lot of Republicans who realize that's true."

of Discernment"
[One of the centerpieces of understanding the movement from description to analysis to revised praxis in practical theological method is the ways in which interpretive communities understand the connections between divine reality and human reality. The article explores what spiritual discernment might have to offer practical theological hermeneutics, particularly within the Roman Catholic Tradition. The article explores connections between practical wisdom and habitus, and connections among ethnography, practical wisdom, and theological interpretation.]
- Author (article), "Dominici Schola Servitii: Benedict, Spiritual Formation, and Practical Theology"
[The article explores the connection between spiritual formation and wisdom within monastic life based on the Rule of Saint Benedict and the formative goals of practical theological reflection. The article presents monasticism as a kind of "laboratory" for practical theology and discusses how Catholic higher education, particularly at Benedictine colleges and universities, can make use of such a laboratory in its theological curriculum.]

KLAMATH FALLS — The Oregon Tech softball team's pitching staff stayed tough on Southern Oregon and helped the 17th-ranked Owls close in on a Cascade Conference title with 4-3 and 8-0 wins Monday at the OIT Softball Complex.
The Owls (29-9 overall, 20-4 CCC) strung together four singles to plate the tying and go-ahead runs in the sixth inning of Game 1, and Jessi Duncan's shutout was backed by 12 hits in Game 2, including home runs off the bats of Alyssa Davis and Cassidy Olson. Both had four hits on the day.
They completed a sweep of the regular season series having allowed three earned runs in 27 innings. Rylee Carleton got the win in the opener, fanning four in 22/3 innings of relief, as SOU left 10 runners on base.
The Raiders (13-19, 12-12) have a one-game lead over Corban and a two-game lead over Northwest Christian for the fourth and final spot in the CCC tournament — holding the tiebreaker over the former but not the latter — entering the final weekend of the regular season. SOU plays at Northwest on Friday and Concordia on Saturday.
Trailing 2-0 in the fourth inning of Game 1, SOU scored its first run on Tyler Burke's bases-loaded walk that forced in Julia Willison, who went 1-for-2 with two runs. They took the lead in the fifth as Megan Scherer, who went 3-for-4, tied it with an infield single and Sierra Anderson hit the go-ahead sacrifice fly.
Singles by Davis, Olson, Tori Weatherford and Cassidy Hoglund brought OIT back in the sixth. Tasha Silvius' bases-loaded sacrifice won it.
Brianne Craig took the loss but yielded just two earned runs in 51/3.
In Game 2, Davis hit an RBI double in a two-run first and a solo homer in a two-run third. The game ended with one out in the sixth when Sadie Birch smacked a double to score Shauna Collins, who went 2-for-3.
Eagle Point's Karlie Stephens had a pair of singles.

Is your daughter a pitcher? Does she often look great during her pitching lessons but has trouble translating that same success to the field? Are her performances inconsistent, driving you and her nuts?
Does she struggle with nerves or confidence in the circle, or in a big game? Does she have difficulty focusing while pitching? Does she come to the game with a plan for success?
The truth is the game of fastpitch is 90% mental, and unless your daughter works on her mental game as much as her physical game she will likely never achieve her full potential in the circle.
I can help. As a mental performance expert, former D-1 pitcher, and current game coach I understand what it takes to dominate on game day for any pitcher.
For the fall season I am looking to add a few select pitchers to work with to elevate their game day performance levels through proven mental training.
These same mental performance principles are used by Olympians, professionals and top college athletes...because they work!
"We added mental performance lessons with John for our daughter, and in just a few short months the improvement in her performance as a pitcher has been immense! She now shows so much more confidence, tenacity and focus than ever before. She recently pitched her 14u team to the ASA Western National Championships. Thanks John!" --Sandy, San Diego, CA

Sergeant Bluff is right outside of Sioux City so I just tell people I'm from Sioux City. It is usually easier. As far as music goes, I really do like a little bit of everything, but my most favorite is cheesy pop, especially of the boy band variety. I was broken hearted when Justin Timberlake got married and then devastated when I learned Nick Carter got engaged. However, I'm still holding out for Jonathan Taylor Thomas. My other favorite things include chocolate, tap dancing, Harry Potter, napping, collecting useless pop culture knowledge, not wearing pants, and giving Andy a hard time on the radio!

About the Book
Art Smith, the award-winning, personal chef to Oprah Winfrey, returns to the kitchen with Art Smith's Healthy Comfort, a collection of 150 original, delicious recipes that will help you lose weight.
Over 100 pounds overweight and facing a personal health crisis that included diagnoses for diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol, Smith started to exercise and made changes to his diet while continuing to prepare scrumptious meals.
For the first time, he shares his weight-loss secrets and the recipes that helped him keep off the pounds. Filled with stunning full-color photos and easy-to-follow directions, Art Smith's Healthy Comfort is a culinary pleasure that will put you on the path to a new, healthy lifestyle.
Chef Art Smith puts the power of healthy living within your reach with these delicious dishes. Discover some of the great recipes he created on his journey to health and wellness, and then prepared for his celebrity clients.
Bestselling author, Top Chef favorite, and award-winning chef Art Smith was discovering new innovations in the kitchen, including his beloved cuisine of the South, but neglecting to take care of himself. So he decided to make a change in the way he ate without giving up the foods he loved. By reimagining his favorite dishes and making exercise a regular part of his life, he lost 120 pounds and transformed both his body and his health. Art always knew that fine cooking is a way to show love to others—but now he saw it as a way to show love to yourself.
Art can't resist bringing people together through food. It's partly what made him the success he is today—and his unique reimag-ining of classic comfort dishes has added to his wide appeal. After ten years as Oprah Winfrey's personal chef, Smith now cooks for special events for celebrities all over the world. He has been a contributing editor to O, the Oprah Magazine and has made numerous television appearances, including on ABC's A Very Lady Gaga Thanksgiving, Bravo's Top Chef Masters, and ABC's Nightline.
There's no doubt about it: Art Smith's Healthy Comfort is about great cooking and good eating. But Smith also shares his personal journey to good health—including delectable dishes such as Three Cheese Macaroni, Unfried Chicken, and Grilled Hanger Steak with Slow-Roasted Tomatoes that you just won't be able to resist.

United States Department of Agriculture
Agricultural Research Service
Soil and Water Management Research
1a.Objectives (from AD-416)
Determine the amount of corn stover residue needed to maintain soil C content (soil quality) and crop productivity.
1b.Approach (from AD-416)
The field experiment will include replicated plots established at three sites using continuous corn management practices, two corn stover harvest treatments will consist of 0%, ~50%, and ~100% residue removal. The stover harvest treatments will be imposed using a single pass grain and stover harvester. At the beginning and end of the study, soil samples will be collected to approximately 4-5 feet to document soil C and N distribution and other soil properties needed to define soil quality. Soil samples will be collected at depths of 0-6 inches, 6-12 inches, and one foot increments following. The minimum data to be collected at all depths for each plot are: total organic C and N, bulk density, oil-test P and K (i.e. Mehlich III, NH4OAc, Olson, etc.), pH and EC. Also, to be collected for the surface 12 inches are: Particulate organic matter, water stable aggregate size distribution. Each year data will be collected on grain and stover yield (after physiological maturity) and N content. The amount of crop residue remaining on the soil surface after each stover harvest treatment will also be determined. The following minimum data will be collected on the crop (corn) in each plot: Planting and harvest date, grain yield, N content and moisture content, corn stover yield, moisture content and N-P-K concentrations, dry matter retained in field, and fraction soil cover.
3.Progress Report

Slow pace of justice Jan. 23, the Republican-American reported that Henry Centrella, Winsted's embattled finance director, was fired by Town Manager Dale L. Martin. Mr. Centrella, who assumed his position in the early 1980s, has been on paid administrative leave since Nov. 9 because of "accounting irregularities." It has emerged that Mr. Centrella unilaterally transfered $100,000 from the town's Soldiers' Monument Commission to help the Water and Sewer Commission pay a bond. This violated a town rule that all mid-fiscal-year transfers in excess of $15,000 be approved by taxpayers. The town has more than $4 million in unpaid bills, its cash reserve hasn't been audited in nearly four years and Mr. Centrella aroused suspicion by storing town funds in his desk. He also apparently failed to keep Mr. Martin and the Board of Selectmen adequately informed of the town's financial situation. As such, Mr. Centrella's ouster is justified. It's just amazing, though not atypical of public-sector practices, that it took so long to get rid of him.

Oh the horror!
Merely white-knuckling your way through one of the 3,426 iterations of "Friday the 13th" just isn't good enough anymore. In today's world of "extreme" entertainment, you can live the nightmare by paying $99 to $139 to have someone scare the wimpy bejeezus right out of you -- though you might want your bejeezus for comfort while huddling in a camp tent anticipating the chainsaw-wielding zombie-madman who will attack you, tie you up, throw a hood over your head, put you through sacrificial voodoo rituals and force you to dig through road kill -- all just for fun! Right? Fun? Right?
So say the folks at the Great Horror Campout (www.greathorrorcampout.com). It's a 12-hour interactive ultimate frightfest event coming July 11 and 12 to the Alameda County Fairgrounds in Pleasanton.
Unlike in real life, you can at least choose your level of distress. You may opt for the mere watching of horror movies, roasting marshmallows and telling ghost stories around a campfire. Ah, so nice. Then there's the HellMaster level. I'm not sure what all it entails, but these are suggested supplies to bring: an old white T-shirt (if you're playing Blood Tag), a snorkel mask, underwater flashlight and "a few changes of underwear."
If you survive the night, you get a continental breakfast at 7 a.m. Think I'll just have a scone with jam, hold the mayhem, thank you very much.
Tats: Where it's at
Maybe get some ink to commemorate your triumph. You would not be alone. A recent NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll asked people if they or someone in their households has a tattoo. The number of people responding "yes" has nearly doubled in the past 15 years, from 21 percent in 1999 to 40 percent in 2014. The biggest percentage change was among people ages 35 to 49.
Some reports say tattoo art has now grown to a $1.65 billion-a-year industry. Color me impressed.
On the menu: Clay?
Last week, Zoe Kravitz revealed that she'd been "drinking clay" to lose weight for her role in an upcoming movie as a woman battling an eating disorder. Even though she wouldn't recommend the practice and called it "awful," she also said it "cleans out your body and fills you up. I was eating, like, a Mason jar of pureed vegetables a day and running."
Apparently eating clay, also called geophagy, is the latest of the ancient global medicinal practices to get the Hollywood health hype. Actress Shailene Woodley recently revealed that she is a big fan of eating clay. Will Jennifer Aniston be next?
I'm all about getting down to earth, but I'm happy with my scone and jam, hold the mud, thank you very much.

Subtle elegance
Posted by Shreve & Co. at 11:42:43 PM in Patek Philippe (29)
Subtlety and elegance sum up what men's watches should be and they're precisely embodied in Patek Philippe's signature model: the Calatrava. Created in 1932, the Calatrava collection is a timeless aesthetic masterpiece refined to perfection. Cut all the fuss. When men aren't usually so hot about flamboyant and elaborately designed watches, the Calatrava has always been simple yet more. Calatrava's sleek lines, round polished bezels that may be extra thin and wide, and the simple leather or metal straps are beyond the dictates of short-lived trends. More than the streamlined design, the Calatrava collection relentlessly assures premier quality. Call it the sturdy classic, a machismo expression of subtle elegance in style and practical worth.
Patek Philippe was established in 1839 at Geneva, Switzerland. Patek Philippe is available at Shreve & Co. on Post Street, San Francisco, in the Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto, and on SW Broadway in Portland.

Across the aisle, candidates for the state House and Senate are pledging to be a voice for Western Slope interests in Denver.
But to local voters, geography isn't all that important.
A recent Summit Daily online poll indicated Summit County residents care more about a candidate's views and platform than whether the candidate lives in Summit County.
Fifty-six percent of the 276 respondents to the unofficial survey said they don't care if the state House and Senate candidates are their neighbors as long as they're representing the voters' interests.
An additional 23 percent said they vote for their party's candidate, regardless of where the hopeful lives.
"To me, it doesn't make any difference if they're from Summit County or not," said Darrel Baker, a GOP voter and Breckenridge resident. "If they represent us here, if they are conservative or lean conservative, I don't really care where they're from."
Some voters, however, say a candidate with a local address may better understand Summit County's needs than contenders who live elsewhere, particularly following a redistricting process that grouped Summit in with more rural western counties.
"It makes it easier to reach out and touch them," Dillon Democrat Flo Raitano said of locally based elected officials. "It's really important that the people who represent us live in Summit County. At the end of the day, what does Gunnison County care about Interstate 70, really? Some of the major issues are kind of site specific."
The redistricting process landed Summit County in a state Senate district with Garfield, Routt, Grand, Jackson, Rio Blanco and Moffat counties. The county's new state House district includes Lake, Pitkin and parts of Gunnison and Delta.
A large percentage of candidates running for regional seats this year - at least one in each race - are from Summit County.
Both major parties, Republican and Democrat, are represented by local candidates in the race for state House District 61. Dillon Democrat Millie Hamner and Breckenridge Republican Debra Irvine are up against not only each other for the seat, but Gunnison independent Kathleen Curry and American Constitution Party candidate Robert Petrowsky, from Leadville.
Democrat Emily Tracy, of Breckenridge, is challenging Hot Sulphur Springs Republican Randy Baumgardner for state Senate District 8, and local Republican Scott Turner is facing off against Evergreen Democrat Bruce Brown for the office of the 5th Judicial District Attorney.
All of the candidates for Congressional District 2 live on the Front Range.

Medicare is a medical insurance with benefits determined by the federal government. If you have permanent kidney failure (end-stage renal disease), you are eligible for Medicare benefits if you meet criteria for U.S. residency and work history. It doesn't matter how old you are or what income you have. However, you can only purchase Medicare under the renal-disease rules if you have had a transplant or are on dialysis. Medicare benefits can help pay the costs of your kidney transplant at a Medicare-approved facility.
Medicare has two parts, Part A and Part B, and they offer different levels of benefits. You must be enrolled in Medicare at the time of the transplant in order to receive transplant-related benefits. For more information, contact the financial counselor at the Swedish Organ Transplant Program. You also may contact your local Social Security office and ask for the booklet titled "Medicare Coverage of Kidney Dialysis and Kidney Transplant Services," or you may go to the Medicare site.
In many cases, an insurance policy that is provided through an employer or purchased on an individual basis may be responsible for transplant costs. The vast majority of insurance plans pay for a transplant, as it is a standard (not experimental) medical treatment. At the time of your evaluation, our financial coordinator will discuss your insurance situation with you and go over the coverage your plan provides.
In most cases, Medicare and private insurance will not pay for a transplant completely. You should check into your own insurance benefits to determine hospital co-pays and prescription drug costs. As the number of medications that you will take after the transplant will be significant, it is especially important that you maintain a secondary insurance with prescription drug benefits.

set 1:
yamar: as i've mentioned in other reviews, this is one of my favorite sunny/nice summer day openers. it was well played and got the crowd going in the right direction.
soa melt: this one got the crowd moving. the lawn was in a frenzy by the end of this early set jam. this one certainly climaxed appropriately. good early show melt.
esther: this infrequently played tune was played straight forward but good none the less
chalk dust torture: trey owned this one. once again, this was fairly straight forward, but they rocked this one.
it's ice: very nice ice. they took this one pretty deep before bringing it back home. always a pleaser.
dog faced boy: nice odd tune to catch your breathe too
taste: this one was still slightly a work in progress, but it was well played and well received in its current arrangement. page and trey bounced off of each other quite well. this one did not quite heavy the depth that it would gain later, but it was still a good early quality performance.
oh kee pah>suzy: good set closer. i think i appreciate the oh kee pah portion more now than i did then, as it was much more frequent then. suzy closed the set well.
set 2:
timber ho!: here we go! great opener, great song! trey and fish were both really strong on this one. great choice
sparkle: i didn't really care for this one in this slot, but hey, it's only 3 minutes long
simple: this was one of the first of the pretty interesting '96 simples. they really came full swing in th fall, but this one is an early indicator of what's to come. they took this for a bit of a longer ride than the previous years deer creek take.
prince caspian: i didn't like this song then, and i didn't like it now. i took this opportunity to buy myself a snazzy summer 96 t shirt. i was hoping they would be playing something better when i was done...
mcgrupp and the watchful hosemaster: here we go... back on track! page owned this one, as always. good solo in the middle section....
run like an antelope: this worked great out of mcgrupp. good strong version. this mcgrupp-lope pairing is probably the highlight of the show.
hello my baby: good acceppalla
golgi: i thought this was going to shut it down, and i thought it was a little anti climatic but then...
possum: very good possum with some good secret language fun. trey seemed to be having a lot of fun on this one.
sample: straight forward.
this show was good enough that a bunch of fans with some pretty lofty hopes were not disappointed but not so good that many didn't believe it would be topped the next night.
set 1: soa melt, it's ice, weigh, chalk dust
set 2: timber ho!, mcgrupp, antelope, possum
