SAN JOSE -- Despite recurring reports that his board has been looking for a buyer, the new CEO at Brocade Communications Systems said Friday that he'll pursue a software-based strategy to challenge networking giant Cisco Systems (CSCO) and other commercial tech rivals.
"I was looking for a company that has some legs," said Lloyd Carney, a veteran tech executive and entrepreneur who was named to the top job at Brocade this week.
Although he's sold two previous companies, Carney added in an interview that he was hired to build Brocade's business, not "flip" it. Noting that he spent several years at each of his last two firms, he said Brocade's board "assured me that I will have the opportunity to create proper shareholder value" for the long term.
Analysts say the software strategy outlined by Carney is a smart one, but he'll face stiff competition. With $2.2 billion in annual sales and about half its 4,000 employees based in Silicon Valley, Brocade is one of several smaller players in a global market where Cisco dominates and other tech giants like Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) and even Oracle (ORCL) are looking to carve out a share.
Emphasizing software "gives them a shot," according to Zeus Kerravala, an industry expert at ZK Research. He said the networking industry is approaching a critical transition, as new "virtualization" software offers the promise of increasing the capacity and flexibility of traditional networking hardware -- the routers and switches that carry data between servers in big computer networks and data centers.
"This is a market transition," Kerravala added. "The problem that Brocade is going to have is that every mainstream vendor recognizes it. Every big vendor has a software strategy and there's also 10 startups that do, too."
Carney faces other challenges as well. Market growth is slowing in what has long been Brocade's core business, selling a specialized technology known as "Fibre Channel" to connect server computers with data storage systems. Brocade dominates the market for those products, which provide a stable revenue stream for the company, but analysts say customers are gradually shifting to other alternatives.
In recent months, news reports citing unnamed sources have said the company's board was actively looking for a buyer.
Carney, 50, said the Fibre Channel business is still healthy, but he acknowledged "it's not growing as rapidly." As a result, he said, Brocade will redouble its efforts to compete directly with Cisco and other suppliers of the more widely used "Ethernet" networking technology.
"The future for Brocade is in focusing on growth customers," he said. "Growth is coming from people who are building new data centers and providing cloud computing services. Those data centers are going to look very different from the data centers of yesterday."
Industry analysts praised Carney's hiring this week, while saying the company's outlook remains mixed. Citing his success in selling other companies, some suggested Brocade's board might be hoping for a quick repeat performance. Kerravala, however, said Carney's strategy could make Brocade more valuable if he's given time to pursue it.
Brocade's stock has risen slightly less than 1 percent since the new CEO was named Monday; shares closed Friday at $5.64.

Life sentence for violent Sarasota robberies
Published: Thursday, April 4, 2013 at 9:43 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 4, 2013 at 9:43 a.m.
A man was sentenced to life in prison Wednesday for his role in two violent robberies in Sarasota in 2011, authorities said.
Pele Williams, 31, previously had been convicted of holding a gun to a woman's head as he robbed her outside Westfield Sarasota Square Mall and later taking part in a robbery at Gulf Gate Plaza in which a woman was shot in the leg, according to the Florida State Attorney's Office.
Williams and an accomplice, Melodee Haygood, 23, struck at midday in crowded parking lots, targeting women walking alone, according to police reports.
In the first robbery, a shopper felt a tug on her purse and turned to see a masked man with a gun at her head, reports noted. She gave up the purse, then watched Williams and a female accomplice drive away in a black Mercedes.
Fifteen minutes later, in a busy shopping center six miles to the north, Haygood shot a woman in the leg in a struggle over another purse.
The black Mercedes sped off, crashing a block away, then continued in a chase by deputies until the car broke down minutes later.
Williams had been arrested multiple times before and spent years in prison for two past convictions, records show. His record classified him as a repeat offender, making the two concurrent life sentences mandatory for his convictions on robbery with a firearm, possessing a firearm as a convicted felon, principal to robbery with a firearm, aggravated battery and fleeing from police.

A credit union's member deposits are insured by the NCUA up to at least $250,000. The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) is an agency of the federal government which insures member deposits at over 8,000 credit unions nationwide - much the same as the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insures banks. A Credit unions' focus on serving their members helps to keep interest rates on deposits higher, and loan rates and fees lower. In addition, a nationwide system of 25,000 surcharge-free ATMs make credit unions convenient and accessible to everyone. There are nearly ten million members in California and Nevada and more than 90 million nationwide.

Quote: "In April, J.P. Morgan surveyed its clients that are large buyers of Treasury securities to see what their reaction would be to a temporary default resulting from failure to raise the debt limit. It found that foreign buyers would likely demand a 55-basis point increase in interest rates (0.55 percentage points) and that this increase could be permanent.
That is consistent with the experience in 1979 when the Treasury defaulted for two weeks over a debt limit increase delay and technical problems with its computers. It caused a 60-basis point rise in interest rates that lasted for years, according to academic research.
More worrisome to Morgans analysts is the possibility that foreign investors may permanently reduce their Treasury holdings. The analysts note that foreigners had previously been large buyers of securities issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. But they reduced their holdings by 40 percent after these agencies were placed under Treasurys conservatorship."

Lilly Grossman opens her birthday present from her mother, Gay Grossman. The string of pearls was a gift to Gay by her own mother on her 16th birthday, and she had always planned on passing them on to her own daughter the same way. For years, Gay Grossman wondered if she would ever have that chance, given the uncertainty of Lilly's health conditions and fear that her life would end prematurely. Genome sequencing helped determine that Lilly has a normal expected lifespan, allowing for the family to enjoy life milestones without fear that they may be their last

The Wood County Genealogical Society will hold its annual Christmas party on the regular meeting night, Monday December 19, at 7 p.m. at the Shamburger Room at the Quitman Public Library. We are hoping for a large turn out from all out members who live close enough to drive in for the party. We would love to share this time with you and your spouse or other guests.
Members are reminded to bring finger foods to share with others. Plates, cups, napkins, ice, etc. will be furnished but you should bring your choice of drink.
A white elephant, gag gift, or "Mexican gift" exchange will take place so bring something that might bring giggles or guffaws when opened. A $5.00 to $15.00 limit is suggested, but if you've got something on hand that will work, that's okay, too. When it's your turn, you can either open a not-yet chosen gift or take one of those already opened. A three-time limit on taking any specific gift will be in effect. (Third person can't be stolen from.) Shirley Bates suggests you find your gift soon and wrap it and bring it along with your finger foods dish to the party.
Important: If you know local area members who do not get email or check the internet, please call them and let them know about the Christmas party.

Theater is great training for life.
"It builds life skills, including the confidence to get out there and do it," said Colin Meiring with the Vail Performing Arts Academy.
Fifty local kids will hit the stage this weekend to sing, dance and act - the performance trifecta - for "On Broadway," the Vail Performing Arts Academy's spring showcase.
It's a review, a variety show. Last year it was country and western. A couple years back it was a rock show. This year it's a Broadway variety show.
The music matters, of course, and "On Broadway" is a home run, but the lessons learned matter as much, Meiring said. Such as how to get 50 kids moving in the same direction at the same time, and try things they didn't think they could do.
For example, Meiring was in "A Chorus Line" on Broadway so they're performing "One Singular Sensation." He taught the kids, even the little ones, the actual Broadway choreography. It's a complicated number and they handle it with aplomb.
In the Broadway show, Meiring performed the part of Larry, the choreographer in the play. It was easy to recall how it goes, he said.
"I did it for 18 months, eight shows a week. It's not all glory," he said.
"On Broadway" will feature hits from "Hair," "Rent," "Chorus Line," "Spamalot," "Spelling Bee," "Newsies," "Oliver," "Billy Elliot," "West Side Story," "Wicked," "Aquarius," "Hair," "West Side Story" ... the list is impressive.
"Colin picked some of the favorite numbers," said Annah Scully, founder of the Vail Performing Arts Academy. "The material alone makes it good. Add these talented kids and it becomes a fantastic experience for both the performers and the audience."
Convincing kids
Every kid is a highlight, of course, but keep an eye on Julia Shay. The 8 year old is singing, "Castle in the Clouds" from "Les Miserables."
"She's a small thing, but singing this song is no small thing," Meiring said.
And Garvin VanDernoot doesn't just sing "Dancing Through Life," he performs it, Meiring said.
"He's not only singing, he's dancing and holding a microphone and acting and dancing with a girl at the same time," Meiring said. "You have to be good at all three elements: singing, dancing and acting."
"Hair" and "Aquarius" are a throwback and the kids nail it, Scully said.
"They make some very convincing hippies," Scully laughed.
Scully taught English in that building when it was Battle Mountain High School. She put her students on that stage in those days, and now their kids are on that same stage.
"There's so much camaraderie with these productions. Every rehearsal is filled with passion and enthusiasm," Scully said.
An education in theatrics
The kids rehearse once a week on Sundays. That's the schedule in the spring and fall when the kids are in school, and have all kinds of other things going on. It's more intense in the summer when the kids are in the Vail Performing Arts Academy's theater camp every day, Meiring said.
Performances like this Broadway showcase are possible because Meiring makes it possible, Scully said.
Meiring started performing at the age of six, winning ballroom dancing titles all over South Africa. He tried his hand at musical theater, television and film and performed in national tours of "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers," "Grease," "Camelot," "A Chorus Line" and "The Rocky Horror Picture Show."
He performed with Ertha Kit, Ben Vereen, Gloria Estefan, Mary Wilson and Tony Danza while entertaining for Royal Caribbean and Silversea Cruises. He performed on Broadway and in the national tour of "Fosse."
Scully founded Vail Performing Arts Academy in 1996 to bring theatrical education and performing arts opportunities to local students.
She taught high school English in Boulder and Vail and has performed on stage and screen. Her entertainment company, "To Die For Entertainment," produced corporate, private and public events in Colorado and California.
The Vail Performing Arts Academy is already planning its summer production, the "Little Mermaid Junior." Auditions are May 5. Sign up on the website vpaa.org.

between two points. The snapin worked good, but the line was
drawed 10-20 times to long, so it seems that is a problem with
scaling. It is possible to give the drawing the right scale in some way?

State Rep. Millie Hamner (D - Dillon) was recognized as one of Colorado Youth Corps Association's Legislators of the Year this week for her work on a measure encouraging the continued use of youth conservation groups for forest-restoration projects.
"This organization does such good work in the world of conservation in our great state," Hamner stated in a release announcing the award. "Our children can serve as assets to our state and make positive contributions so important to Colorado and the Western Slope."
The association, a statewide coalition of conservation corps which train and employ youth on environmental conservation projects, offered the same award to Jeanne Nicholson (D - Gilpin County), Summit's former state senator.
"These champions and partners understand that young adults have the power to effect positive change for our environment and communities, while working toward solutions to the critical land, water and energy issues facing our state," Colorado Youth Corps executive director Jennifer Freeman stated in the release.
Hamner and Nicholson passed House Bill 1032 last year, extending state funding for youth corps participation in forest-restoration projects.
Summit County government and the town of Breckenridge will hire individuals between the ages of 16-25 through the Rocky Mountain Youth Corps (RMYC) for two weeks next summer to construct trails in the Golden Horseshoe area. The project will be funded by a $13,440 grant from Great Outdoors Colorado, the organization that allocates lottery funds.
The youth will also decommission out-of-system trails - breaking up old tread, moving vegetation and disguising the corridor to redirect trail users away from the closed trails.
"Youth corps are integral to our land-management efforts," Breckenridge open space planner Scott Reid stated in a recent release from Colorado Youth Corps Association. "We've had RMYC join us for several years running to restore wetlands, close social trails and construct new singletrack. The projects are successful and it's inspiring to see the crew's passion for land protection."

Renewable Energy and Smart Grids Spurred by Economic Stimulus Act
February 18, 2009
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which President Barack Obama signed on February 17, includes $6 billion to support loan guarantees for renewable energy and electric transmission technologies. The funds are expected to guarantee more than $60 billion in loans. The act requires the DOE Loan Guarantee Program to only make loan guarantees to projects that will start construction by September 30, 2011, and that involve renewable energy, electric transmission, or leading-edge biofuel technologies. See pages 63 and 76-78 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (PDF 13.4 MB), as well as pages 26-27 of the accompanying joint explanatory statement of the conference committee (PDF 10.3 MB). Download Adobe Reader.
The act also directs DOE to analyze the nation's electrical grid to determine if significant potential sources of renewable energy are locked out of the electrical market by a lack of adequate transmission capacity. DOE must then provide recommendations for achieving adequate transmission capacity. To help achieve those recommendations, the act includes a provision allowing the Western Area Power Administration to borrow up to $3.25 billion from the U.S. Treasury for transmission system upgrades, particularly for facilitating the delivery of power from renewable energy facilities, and it also gives equivalent borrowing authority to the Bonneville Power Administration for transmission systems upgrades. See pages 65-71 and 80-81 of the act and page 28 of the joint explanatory statement of the conference committee.
In addition, the act provides $4.5 billion for the DOE Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability for activities to modernize the nation's electrical grid, integrate demand-response equipment, and analyze, develop, and implement smart grid technologies. The funds will also support research in energy storage technologies, efforts to facilitate recovery from energy supply disruptions, and efforts to enhance the security and reliability of the nation's energy infrastructure. A complementary section of the act opens smart grid demonstration projects to electric systems in all areas of the country and establishes a smart grid information clearinghouse to share data from the demonstration projects. See pages 60-62 and 72-76 of the act, as well as pages 25 and 28 of the joint explanatory statement of the conference committee.
The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) will also be getting into the act, as it will receive $300 million to research, develop, test, and evaluate energy technologies, including improvements in energy generation and efficiency, transmission, regulation, and storage. The DOD efforts will apply both to military bases and deployed forces, and will include research and development of energy from fuel cells, wind, solar, biomass energy and biofuels, and other renewable energy sources. See pages 48-49 of the act and page 19 of the joint explanatory statement of the conference committee.

The Physics of Felting:
What Makes It Happen
Successful felting depends on three conditions:
When wool fibers get moist, their core begins to swell. This causes the fine layer of scales along the fiber surface to open.
The scales open more fully at a higher temperature.
As with a pile of coat hangers, these open scales readily catch onto one another. The more you agitate the materials, the more enmeshed the scales become. The fiber becomes matted and dense, reducing the overall size of the fabric being washed.
Additional Factors
Studies have proven that the felting process occurs more readily when the pH level of the water is higher. Adding a small amount of soap to your felting water will help, because it naturally raises the pH level.
Likewise, you can stop the felting process and close the fiber scales by adding a moderate amount of vinegar to your cold-water rinse. This lowers the pH level.

Spotted at the Ballard Crit. First time I've seen a Rawland.
Spotted at the Ballard Crit. First time I've seen a Rawland.
Strangely enough, I had the same experience last weekend, though they are within decent weekend biking distance. Of course I don't see many frames by more local and established builders in the immediate metro area, unless QBP-designed frames built in Taiwan count. Surly alone must make up about half of the bikes on the Midtown Greenway during marginal bike weather.
It took me a while to wrap my head around what was going on with that bike and then figured out it was a 650B. Another take on "enduro bikes" is [this Davidson](http://www.flickr.com/photos/huggerindustries/589671132/).
Right on, You found my bike! I built her up primarily as a get around town bike, although I have taken the Sogn on a few 70 mile rides and she handles great. The 42mm "Grand Bois: Hetre" tires could run over a bag of kittens with barely a bump. And if last winter is any indication of winters to come I'll be able to easily remove the fenders and replace the tires with something bigger and knobbier, no snow days for me.
I'm quiet flattered by the Hugger attention, see ya'll on the road.

Enterococci are bacteria that are commonly found in the human digestive tract and female genital tract, but do not pose a threat to healthy people. Infections occur more commonly in people who are in hospitals or other healthcare facilities and who may be more susceptible to infection. Healthcare providers commonly use the antibiotic vancomycin to treat infections, but upon exposure, some bacteria will develop or acquire resistance to vancomycin.

Cisco: Hedging rather than betting
By Executive MBA students Marc Simony, Sherrie Zollinger, Kellie Teelander, Casey Hirschman, Fayda Khalek and Dewan Simon
What do you do when you have $40 billion in the bank, net profits of $7.7 billion, an average annual unlevered free cash flow of around $9 billion, the world economy in shambles, and you need to continue to grow because stagnation will kill your stock price?
At Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CSCO) you announce a $10 billion share buyback to protect your stock price, and you try to maximize your sunk costs and IP (pun intended; both Intellectual Property and Internet Protocol). Cisco has a plethora of business units, but most are geared toward supporting packet flow over Cisco's core business — networking infrastructure. Networking infrastructure, in this case, represents a large portion the sunk costs, because sold gear does not return any post-sale revenue scaled to the use and value it provides the purchaser.
Cisco doesn't want to just sell shovels; it wants to be part of the gold rush. The easiest solution would be to attach a packet meter to Cisco's switches and routers, give them away for free, and charge for their utility. It is unlikely, however, that businesses would buy into this. Option two would be for Cisco to "stuff" the network pipe and exhaust its use, leading to higher online capacity demand, and enabling Cisco to sell more of its routers, Unified Computing Systems, and cloud-enabling virtualization technology—the full data center stack!

I can't begin to explain how much I love Thanksgiving. It is a quintessentially American holiday, it revolves around the dinner table, which is the heart of my home, and it is a day designed to make us mindful of all the sacrifices involved in settling the New World, establishing our independence as a nation, and building the strong traditions which make America the freest society in the world.
The first Thanksgiving was conducted around a table not unlike the ones in our dining rooms in Southern Missouri. That event, in Plymouth, was a celebration of the autumn harvest. The bounty of the land was brought to a feast, to be shared by the whole community. That event marked the Pilgrims' relief at having survived a year in a new land, despite many hardships, and it gave them reason to be optimistic about their future in America.
That Thanksgiving is a historical reminder to us of how our agriculture is linked to our prosperity as a nation. The cooperation of the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag people underscores the importance of our community in everything we undertake to make life here in America good, as well as to remain optimistic about our future.
Thanksgiving became an official U.S. holiday under very different circumstances when President Lincoln declared a national day of Thanksgiving amid the strife of the Civil War. That year, I imagine American families, torn apart by war and grief-stricken at the absence or loss of family members and close friends, had to struggle to find reasons to be thankful. The Thanksgiving tables of 1863 must have been solemn and prayerful, marked by a fervent hope that the war would end and our communities would survive – even if our nation did not.
The Pilgrims prayed for survival. The Thanksgiving families of the Civil War era asked that they be spared from the destruction of war in their own country. We face neither of these fears today, because of the sacrifices of Americans who came before us.
But we do have an obligation to bow our heads at the Thanksgiving table and be grateful to all of those who sacrifice to keep our country strong and free. At my table, we pray for Americans in uniform, the people working hard in our communities, the inspirational members of our families, and the students who labor to better themselves through education – dreaming big so that they can add their own chapter to the prosperity of our nation.
To say our nation is blessed is an understatement of enormous proportions. We have endured trials and overcome strife, we have built feats of engineering and accomplished great advancements, and we have given much to the world and secured our own place in it. All of this was done by Americans, by people who considered their country as something bigger than themselves.
Page 2 of 2 - Only by keeping our desire for freedom and our love of our nation alive will we assure that future generations share in that dream at their Thanksgiving celebrations. Our nation has come a long way, and we have a long way yet to go.

Simple, Cheap Health Remedies Cut Child Mortality In Ethiopia
Originally published on Fri January 3, 2014 9:48 am
Poor countries are starting to realize something that richer ones sometimes forget: Basic, inexpensive measures can have dramatic impacts on the health of a country. And they can save thousands of lives.
Take, for instance, the situation in Ethiopia.
The country used to have one of the highest rates of child mortality in the world.
"If you were a kid born in 1990 [in Ethiopia], you had a 1 in 5 chance of not surviving to your fifth birthday," says Peter Salama, who directs UNICEF's efforts in Ethiopia.
Since then, the country has improved that survival rate by about 60 percent. "So [Ethiopia has made] a tremendous achievement in the space of two decades," Salama says.
This progress isn't a result of expensive international aid or the recruitment of foreign doctors into Ethiopia. Instead, the country has invested in simple, bare-bones clinics that are run by minimally educated community health workers.
Foos Muhumed Gudaal is one of 35,000 rural health extension workers in Ethiopia. She practices at a post in the village of Walgo Yar in the eastern part of the country. The clinic is a simple, cement building with only two rooms: one for Gudaal to live in and one that serves as a consultation room. There is no electricity. There are no lights.
Gudaal's role at the post is a bit like the old image of a small-town pediatrician. But she isn't even a nurse. Instead, Gudaal, along with all of the other health extension workers, has gone through a special, one-year training program.
Her salary isn't anywhere near that of a pediatrician, either. She earns roughly $35 each month.
But Gudaal can still treat the diseases that often cut a child's life short in Ethiopia. And she can make sure kids in the village are up to date on their vaccines.
One of the main conditions Gudaal deals with is malaria. The parasite kills about 600,000 people worldwide each year, and the vast majority of those deaths occur in children younger than 5. Gudaal can diagnose and treat most malaria cases at her health post.
She can also easily treat diarrhea and respiratory infections, two other major killers of children in the developing world.
Because there is no electricity at the clinic, Gudaal has to rely on a kerosene-fired refrigerator to keep her vaccines cold. The aging fridge sits in a small shed next to the consultation room.
Gudaal lifts several vaccine vials out of the fridge. She not only administers immunizations but also keeps records for who in the village needs shots and boosters.
Since being launched a decade ago, this health extension program in Ethiopia has had a huge effect in the country, Salama says.
Quite simply, it has saved lives. "Children are now treated right across the country on a scale that was previously unheard of around the world," he says.
"Take acute severe malnutrition, for which Ethiopia was famous in the '70s and '80s," Salama says. "Today, successfully, these same lady health workers treat 300,000 children [each year] for severe malnutrition." Previously, these children would have most invariably died, he says.
Despite these improvements, Ethiopia still has a long way to go when it comes to children's health. Malnutrition is still the leading cause of death for children younger than 5 in the country. Nearly 20 percent of Ethiopian babies are born underweight, weighing less than 5 1/2 pounds. And about 40 percent of kids don't reach a normal height because of malnutrition.
But, Salama says, the beauty of Ethiopia's health extension program is that it's sustainable. It's run by the government, not a foreign foundation or agency. So as long as there's the political will, it's able to reach kids across the country.
Save a child in Africa has almost become a cliche in certain charities' advertising campaigns. In the 1970s and '80s, images of starving Ethiopian kids stared down from billboards and out of news photos. Ethiopia, however, is no longer the land of dying children. NPR's Jason Beaubien reports on one program that helped change things.
JASON BEAUBIEN, BYLINE: This is the Walgo Yar health post in eastern Somali region of Ethiopia. It's a simple cement brick building with just enough room for the health worker to live in one room, have a consultation room in the next. There's no electricity. There's no lights. Despite its simplicity, it's health posts like this one which have allowed Ethiopia to dramatically cut its child mortality rate over the last two decades.
FOOS MUHUMED GUDAAL: (Foreign language spoken)
BEAUBIEN: Foos Muhumed Gudaal is one of 35,000 rural health extension workers in Ethiopia. She's part of an army recruited, trained and deployed by the government to provide barebones health care across the country.
GUDAAL: (Foreign language spoken)
BEAUBIEN: One of the main conditions she deals with is malaria. She describes how she can treat most malaria cases right here in her small clinic. She also sees a lot of kids with diarrhea and respiratory infections. These are conditions that continue to be major killers in many parts of the developing world, and 20 years ago, claimed tens of thousands of lives each here. But they're relatively easy to treat.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: (Foreign language spoken)
BEAUBIEN: Because there is no electricity at the clinic, Gudaal has to rely on a kerosene-fired refrigerator to keep her vaccines cold. The aging fridge sits in a small shed next to the consultation room.
GUDAAL: (Foreign language spoken)
BEAUBIEN: Gudaal lifts several vaccine vials out of the fridge. She not only administers the immunizations, it's also her job to make sure kids in her village get vaccinated. She keeps records and reminders of who needs what boosters and when. Gudaal's role is a bit like the old image of a small-town pediatrician, but she isn't even a nurse. Instead, Gudaal, along with all the other health extension workers, has gone through a special one-year training program. Her salary also isn't anywhere near that of a pediatrician's. She earns roughly $35 a month.
Since being launched a decade ago, Ethiopia's health extension worker program has had a huge impact in the country. Peter Salama, the head of UNICEF in Ethiopia, says quite simply, it's saved kids lives.
DR. PETER SALAMA: If you're a kid born in 1990, you had one in five chances of not surviving to your fifth birthday. One in five children did not survive to their fifth birthday. Today, they've dropped that mortality by around two-thirds. So a tremendous achievement in the space of two decades.
BEAUBIEN: Ethiopia used to have one of the highest rates of child mortality anywhere in the world.
SALAMA: And if you take something like severe acute malnutrition, what Ethiopia was famous, if you like, in the 1970s and '80s, today, successfully, these same lady health workers treat 300,000 children for severe acute malnutrition successfully who would otherwise almost invariably die.
BEAUBIEN: Every year, it's been...
SALAMA: Every year, 300,000. These children are now treated right across the country at a scale that was previously unheard of around the world.
BEAUBIEN: Salama says, part of the beauty of Ethiopia's health extension workers program is that it is not an international development project. It's run by the government. So as long as there's the political will, the program is sustainable and is able to reach kids across the entire country. Jason Beaubien, NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

NAPA -- So far, so good for Menelik Watson.
The second-year Raiders player has made it through the offseason and the first two practices healthy as the first-team right tackle, a stark contrast to a year ago when a calf injury left him sidelined.
What followed for Watson were knee issues and a re-injury to his calf. In the end, a second-round draft pick who was named the starting left tackle on little more than raw ability and very little practice time ended up being mostly a frustrated spectator.
Watson has tried to keep things low key in Year 2, focusing on building up his body, although he did a recent BBC media tour in England related to the Raiders game in London on Sept. 28. (He was born in Manchester, England.)
Although cordial and loquacious while talking to reporters Saturday, he plans on keeping to himself more often in 2014.
"It's really been about action and not about talking,'' Watson said. "Coming up, nobody knew who I was back then and it was all about action. I'm just trying to get back to that.''
After playing just one season each at Saddleback College and Florida State, Watson conceded he wasn't ready physically for the rigors of the NFL.
"In college and junior college it kind of flew by so fast I wasn't thinking about my body, I was thinking about learning the game,'' he said. "As a professional, you need this body. It's a job. ... I love this game. It was a lot to have it taken away from me last year.
"This is a new year. Last year is behind me.''
The Raiders line since the offseason has remained constant, with Watson on the right side joined by former New York Jets tackle Austin Howard at right guard. Stefen Wisniewski is at center, with veteran Khalif Barnes at left guard (pushed by rookie Gabe Jackson) and free agent Donald Penn at left tackle.
"It's a totally different feel,'' Watson said. "You don't feel like you're out there as an individual. You feel like you're out there as a group.''

A man accused of a triple murder in Stoutland faces the death penalty. Camden County Prosecuting Attorney Brian Keedy filed a notice of intent to seek the death penalty in the Circuit Court of Camden County on Monday in the case of Morris McCabe.
The two-page court document shows that public defender Fawzy T. Simon received notice of the state's intent to seek the death penalty in McCabe's case.
McCabe is accused of shooting and killing Stoutland residents Sally Amos, Don Meyers and Don Young on December 3, 2010. The three were found shot to death at a home near the intersection of Route T and Route H in Camden County. Sheriff's deputies arrested McCabe a day after the killings. McCabe has been in the Camden County jail for the duration of his pretrial activity.
According to the notice of intent, the prosecutor will seek the death penalty on three separate charges of first degree murder because the nature of the triple homicide created "a statutory aggravating circumstance," under state law. Keedy also seeks the death penalty because McCabe has been convicted of murder before.
In 1980, McCabe was found guilty of a murder in Lebanon. On June 8, 1979, McCabe shot and killed 34-year-old Larry Baker at the home of Nancy Row on Yates Ave. in Lebanon. McCabe was 19 at the time of Baker's murder.
McCabe's 1980 trial moved from Lebanon to Camden County on a change of venue request. He stood trial before Judge John Parrish. Jack Miller was the prosecuting attorney. McCabe served 30 years in prison for his 1979 crimes.
McCabe had been out of prison for just more than eight months at the time he was arrested as the suspect in the deaths of three Stoutland residents. On January 31, of this year he entered a not guilty plea for three charges of first degree murder and three charges of armed criminal action.
At this time, McCabe's case is scheduled to go to trial in Versailles on the week of October 31.
Simon asked that his client's case move to Pulaski County when he first introduced a formal motion for change of venue. The prosecutor asked to keep the case within the 26th Judicial Circuit, which encompasses Camden, Miller, Laclede, Morgan and Moniteau counties.
"Judge, there has been an extensive amount of pretrial publicity on this case. There is no way that Mr. McCabe could get a fair trial in this circuit," Simon told Judge Kenneth Hayden.
Hayden moved the case to Morgan County at the motion hearing. Simon has since appealed that decision, and the appeal will be taken up at a hearing July 12.

Kyler Finley turned in a solid performance on the mound and helped lead the Neosho Wildcats to their 10th victory of the season on Monday as they edged Branson 2-1 in the Central Ozark Conference Large Division opener at Branson High School.
Trailing 1-0, the Wildcats (10-2, 1-0) broke through in the fourth inning and plated two runs to take their first, and only, lead of the game. Jayce Parmley reached on a fielder's choice and Tyler Johnson was hit by a pitch with one out to put runners at first and second in the fourth. After moving both runners 90-feet, Kody Kelly punched a two-out single to score both runners.
That was all the assistance Finley would need as the righthander shut down the Pirates the rest of the way to earn the victory on the hill. He allowed all five of the Pirates' hits in the first inning, as well as their only run, before closing the game with six no-hit frames. He also worked out of a no-out second and third jam unscathed in the second inning.
In seven innings he allowed no earned runs, struck out four and walked two.
"He did a great job," Wildcats coach Donny Pennington said of Finley. "He competed well, and we couldn't have asked for any more from him."
The Wildcats had four hits in the game with one each from Brendan Craig, Parmlee, Nathan Bankson and Kelly.
"We hit the ball well," Pennington said. "We squared it up, it was just that everything we hit we hit right at them. We didn't push a lot of runs across the plate, but we hit the ball well."
Neosho's B squad lost to Branson 6-2. Kris Finley led the Wildcats with two hits in that game.
The Wildcats travel to Carthage for a 4:30 p.m. tilt on Thursday.

Comments about Women's Eddie Bauer Shearling Boot Slippers:
While I like the look and feel of the slippers a lot, they are somewhat oddly shaped--they are narrow toward the toes and wide at the heel, and my heels come up from the shoe as I walk in them. I'm hoping as I continue to wear them they will become roomier at the toe end, because my feet are getting mild pins and needles at that end due to the snugness. But they should become roomier as all that fluff inside gets matted down. Overall I do like them and got a good deal on them, so I'd buy again at the same sale price.
Comments about Women's Eddie Bauer Shearling Boot Slippers:
I love these slippers! I wear a 10.5 or 11 shoe, so I ordered the 11. I was a little concerned at first that they were a tad too short, but as I have worn them, they stretched out a little and are perfect! They are cozy and comfy. I love that they keep my ankle warm. Personally, I would not wear them outdoors.

Hey there,
i mainly use PMS to stream "spotify" to my WDTV Live using a direct sound bridge.
My Solution broadcasts the audio stream as a web radio ( /Web/Radio).
This works all right when i browse the PMS from using WDTV Live
As the Device is pretty crappy usability-wise i prefer to Remote-Control it via UPNP.
It seems that some clients list the radio stream and some dont.
For example the Android-App Bubble-UPNP allows to start the stream on my WDTV Live without having to turn on my TV and fiddle with the annoying WDTV Live Remote.
This is nice but it would be even nicer if i could do that on my PC, i wouldnt need to pick up my android device
I found two UPNP Control Point Softwares for my Win 7 PC (Kinsky and eezUPNP) but the dont list the stream. When i browse to /Web/Radio the folder lists as empty.
My guess is that some kinds of UPNP Controllers can only work with files, not with streams.
Does anyone know a control software that can do the trick?
Whats the name of the feature that enables a control software to work with streams as well as with files?#
thanks in advance!

The Missouri Rural Electric Cooperative's Board of Directors has again approved the refund of capital credits. Checks will be mailed on Sept. 13, according to Richard Donelson, general manager/CEO.
The total amount of $731,031 will be refunded to the 4,187 members of Missouri Rural Electric who either received service during the year of 1998 or were included in the partial payment made by Northeast Missouri Electric Power Cooperative and Associated Electric Cooperative for their 1993 and 1994 margins.
Missouri Rural, Northeast Power and Associated Electric are not-for-profit utilities. At the close of each business year, any margins are allocated to the member-owners based on the amount of electricity purchased. These allocations are then returned to the members as financial conditions permit.
To date, more than $14.9 million has been returned to Missouri Rural Electric's members in this fashion during the past 51 years.
These checks should be received the week of the annual meeting, which is scheduled for 10 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 21, a the Palmyra High School gymnasium.

Police review incident on school bus
Published: Friday, March 29, 2013 at 6:12 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 29, 2013 at 6:12 p.m.
SARASOTA - An incident on a school bus involving children from Brookside Middle School last week is being reviewed by the Sarasota Police Department. A police spokeswoman Deniro said detectives were "trying to figure out exactly what it is," and declined to provide further information.
Gary Leatherman, a spokesman for Sarasota County Schools, said the incident involved inappropriate activity among several students on the bus. "It wasn't something that rose to the level of anything that anyone expected criminal charges filed," he said.
The students involved were disciplined, Leatherman said. The bus driver was present, but did not appear aware of the incident although the school resource office was later involved.

STOCKTON – A man told police someone deliberately ran over him and his friend about an hour after the same assailant severely beat them and two other men with a baseball bat Friday afternoon in central Stockton.
Raymond Hendrickson, 47, said he was walking with three friends near East Lafayette and South Union streets about 3 p.m. when a man wielding a bat accused them of attempting to steal a car.
Hendrickson said the man beat them badly, sending one to the hospital with a head laceration and another there with a bone protruding from his arm. About an hour later, the two men who were not taken to the hospital, Hendrickson and 20-year-old Matthew Thomas, were walking on the sidewalk at East Lafayette Street and South Airport Way when the same assailant drove up in a silver Chevy pickup, Hendrickson said.
Hendrickson said the man drove onto the curb, striking Hendrickson and Thomas. The man then put his truck in reverse, running over Thomas a second time. "He did it on purpose," Hendrickson said. "He came after us deliberately."
Thomas was taken to the hospital with what appeared to be moderate injuries. Hendrickson declined medical treatment. The assailant was described as white man in his 30s with short hair and a medium build.

BALTIMORE -- A game that could have had its focus on an odd tag play early on instead evolved into an explanation as to why the A's are 38-23 and owners of the best record in the American League.
A yelling match in the third inning between Orioles third baseman Manny Machado and A's third baseman Josh Donaldson emptied the benches and seemed to be the story of the game. Over time, that storyline was left in the dust as the A's pulled out an 11-inning, 4-3 win over Baltimore.
Oakland's roster depth came into play time and again, ultimately with catchers John Jaso and Stephen Vogt contributing 11th-inning pinch hits that gave the A's the win. Jaso stretched a single into a double, forced an error while running to third on a grounder from Alberto Callaspo, then scored on Vogt's pinch-hit single.
"Part of the way this team is set up is versatility," manager Bob Melvin said. "We have a lot of in-game options."
To even get to the 11th, Brandon Moss had to throw out a runner at the plate for the second out of the 10th inning with catcher Derek Norris slapping a tag on Nick Markakis. And reliever Fernando Abad and Norris had to be alert enough to thwart Nelson Cruz's effort to steal home later that inning.
And to get to extra innings, Coco Crisp, who started the game on the bench, had to draw a four-pitch walk as a pinch-hitter, steal second, then score on Yoenis Cespedes' two-out double in the eighth to tie the game.
"Coco was a serious game-changer when he came in there with the walk and the stolen base," Melvin said. "Jaso got a big hit after Norris had a big hit, then using Vogt there at the end. He's a grinder. It's not easy to pinch-hit. There were a lot of contributions across the board."
Jaso, pinch-hitting for Norris, opened the 11th with a risky dash to second base where he was barely safe on a hustle double that swung the game's momentum in the A's favor.
"We kept our catcher power going strong with Dino (Norris) getting that homer early and Vogt getting the hit to win it," Jaso said.
The Orioles had one man caught trying to stretch a single into a double and two men out at the plate. The A's, on the other hand, had Jaso safe, but barely, to set up the winner.
"I told (the dugout) I unhooked the trailer," Jaso said of his burst of speed. "Sometimes it doesn't work out, but I know getting into scoring position with none out is a huge thing."
It was because it gave Vogt a chance to star. He did, then Sean Doolittle struck out the side in the bottom of the 11th to close it out.
The A's weren't prepared for Machado to jump up screaming after Donaldson tagged him for the final out of the third. Benches emptied, but not much happened beyond that. Machado would homer later to give the Orioles the lead, and Baltimore starter Wei-Yin Chen threw inside to Donaldson twice in the sixth inning, hitting him the second time.
Machado, who was hurt last year while running the bases, implied that Donaldson had tagged him too hard, saying, "I think he could have done a little better job with it."
Donaldson said: "I've got nothing against the kid. I was just trying to do my job."
"Despite not pitching well, I've gotten a lot of support from the fans out in the bullpen," Johnson said. "They are good fans, there's no malice behind it. They just want to win."

Without knowing who he would be, the Raiders' primary goal needed to get a monster. They needed someone who in two or three years, when they should reasonably be transitioning from playoff hopeful to legitimate contender.
Mission accomplished with Khalil Mack.
The linebacker out of Buffalo has the upside you want in a first-rounder. He has the potential to be great, which is what you hope in a top-five pick. And he plays a pivotal positon, bringing a tangible high-priority skill.
And after all the scuttle, posturing, misdirection and speculation, he ended up falling to the Raiders. You can't really ask for more than that if you're the Raiders, who could use a few such breaks.
"This was a guy we targeted early in the draft process," Raiders coach Dennis Allen said. "A guy we liked and wanted."
Mack's combination of speed and power made him a coveted piece in the draft. He could've gone No. 1 overall and few would've sneezed. He's got the skills to be a big-time pass rusher, which is always a need in the NFL, and is sturdy against the run he's got the talent to become good in coverage.
What I liked watching some clips of him is his natural instinct to evade blockers in the run. As physical and nasty as he is, he's slithery and evasive in pursuit of the run. That showed a certain level of instinct.
One of the more encouraging parts about the Mack selection is the Raiders are well suited to groom him. Their offseason moves landed some real professionals with a winning pedigree. Mack has some great mentors lined up for him in Justin Tuck and LaMarr Woodley.
"I know the Oakland Raiders are nasty," Mack said in a conference call. "They like to play nasty. I'm a football player who likes to get in there and get nasty. But in a good way."

OAKLAND -- Coco Crisp definitely remembers the error he made in Game 2 of last year's American League Division Series in Detroit, but not for the reasons you might think.
He remembers it mostly because it's the last error he made. Since then, the A's center fielder has been flawless -- not a single drop, boot or bad throw in 110 games and more than 300 chances.
He's the only regular A.L. center fielder not to make an error during the 2013 season, quite an accomplishment for a player who covered more ground than any other center fielder in the league, according to some high-tech range-factor statistics.
"Hopefully I'll win my first Gold Glove," he said. "That would be awesome. I don't care about batting titles, stolen base titles. But I would like to win a Gold Glove."
Alas, the A's were recently informed that he does not qualify for the Rawlings Gold Glove under the new -- and somewhat unknown -- guidelines adopted by the company. An outfielder must play 95 games and 713 innings by the team's 141st game to be eligible. Crisp missed the cutoff by two games despite logging 779 innings.
"He's been as good as anybody I've seen, no doubt about it," manager Bob Melvin said. "He's had quite a run. He's done everything we could expect out of a center fielder."
"The knock on him with the Gold Glove is he doesn't throw people out," Brandon Moss said. "But for every guy he doesn't throw out, he runs down three doubles in the gap. He saves runs, no question about it."
Chris Young, who knows a few things about playing center field as a former Gold Glove finalist, thinks Crisp should be a lock. Damn the qualifications.
"Every center fielder in the league is going to be fast, but what separates the best ones like Coco is being able to see the ball off the bat and take good routes," Young said. "I saw quite a few balls this year I didn't think he'd get to, but he got them. He also made some amazing diving plays. If you don't make any errors and you make all the plays, you deserve it."
While being ineligible may irk Crisp, he doesn't chafe at being asked about the playoff error in Detroit last year. He remembers it well, as he does most of the mere 25 errors he's made during his 12-year major league career.
"I don't think about it until somebody brings it up," he said. "It doesn't matter, things happen during your career both good and bad. I put it behind me the day after it happened."
Many have questioned whether the error he made in Game 2 of the ALDS last year was actually an error at all.
Miguel Cabrera was jammed on a pitch that he fisted into short center field. Playing deep for Cabrera in spacious Comerica Park, Crisp broke back briefly, then ran an incredibly long way just to get to the ball. He got there, but when he tried to make a basket catch, it hit off the heel of his glove and two runs scored to give Detroit a 3-2 seventh-inning lead.
Crisp didn't dispute the error call. But when reliever Sean Doolittle, who was pitching at the time, remarked that Crisp "catches that ball 99 times out of a 100," the outfielder corrected him.
"I like to think I make it 100 out of 100," he said at the time. "It's just unfortunate that I didn't make the catch. I felt like I should have made it, obviously. I'm better than that. In this type of situation, you've got to make that play."
After Crisp's error, the A's regained the lead 4-3, but they ultimately lost 5-4.
Crisp isn't thinking about redemption in this rematch with the Tigers. His goal simply is to win a second World Series ring. He got his first in 2007 with the Boston Red Sox.
"Not taking anything away from other teams, but these young guys put in a lot of hard work and they deserve it," he said. "Coming from the underdog aspect of it and becoming the team that they are -- I guess I'm involved in that, too -- it would mean a lot to share a World Series win with this group of guys."
The Tigers know the impact Crisp could have. Even though he hit just .182 in last year's ALDS, he homered to lead off Game 1 against Justin Verlander. He led off Game 3 with a single and subsequently scored the first run in a game that the A's never trailed. Then he had a walk-off hit that won Game 4.
Although Crisp doubts that 2013 has been his best all-around season, he did post career highs this year in runs (93), homers (22) and walks (61). The errorless season was his first. He also cemented his position as the team leader, although he chuckled a bit at that.
"It just means that I'm old and cool and I'm not a butthead," he said. "If they ask me questions, I'll answer them. That's just being a normal veteran as I see it. But it is an honor that they look at me as a person they can come to for advice."
And perhaps this postseason, he'll catch everything he can reach, as he has done all season.
A's center fielder Coco Crisp had many web gems this year, including this catch on a ball hit by Texas' Ian Kinsler on June 20.

LATHROP - An employee of a Lathrop convenience store was prepping food for the day when two men entered the store early Wednesday morning. The employee initially greeted the men with "Good morning," but he quickly realized he was being robbed, authorities said.
The San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office dispatched deputies to the 100 block of East Lathrop Road on a report of a robbery at 2:22 a.m. Wednesday, authorities said. The men, one of whom was armed with a handgun, demanded money and stole an undisclosed amount of cash from the register before fleeing north on Interstate 5 in a gray Honda made in the late 1980s, deputies said.
Both robbers were described as black men about 25 years old standing 5 feet 10 inches tall, authorities said. One was about 160 pounds with a black hooded sweatshirt, a black bandanna covering most of his face and jeans, deputies said.

Claude Cahun
The best parts of the film were Cahun and Moore's artwork and the interviews with people who had known them when they lived on the island of Jersey, where, during the German occupation, they resisted the Nazis and were imprisoned. Unfortunately, Hammer tried to make the film into something more than a documentary by having actresses portray Cahun and Moore for some overwrought soliliquies and used annoying and amateurish visual stylizations in an attempt to replicate with film the effect of the original art, an unfortunate choice when the original work is so distinctive that any such manipulation is nothing more than distracting, and sometimes simply embarrassing, like particularly bad public-access TV.
Cahun and Moore's work was lucky to survive World War II and the artists' deaths (Cahun in 1954, Moore in 1972). It was not recognized as important and groundbreaking by the general art world for quite some time, which seems strange when you look at the images themselves.
The playfulness of the poses and roles that Cahun assumes gain a strange seriousness from the deadpan facial expressions, the often gender-neutral costuming, the lack of context for the figures -- where is this, who is this, what is going on? The pictures are worlds unto themselves, vivid in their oddity, rich with emotional suggestion, but the emotions they suggest seem a little bit different to me every time I look at one of the pictures. Sometimes there seems to be a profound melancholy within them, sometimes a beautifully coy "let's pretend" goofiness, and more often than not a combination of feelings that can't quite be named. Cahun's body is the subject of most of the photographs, but it is a nearly-blank body, one she and Moore recognized could be reconfigured and reimagined. Because of this, Cahun can be seen as a precursor to artists like Cindy Sherman, but her work makes sense within its own time, too, given how many artists were exploring ideas of subjectivity and how many writers were experimenting with voice and point of view -- Cahun is not so far away from Virginia Woolf's Orlando, really.

Matt: This film looks really wonderful. Right now I'm reading a biography of surrealist painter, Remedios Varo. Cahun is mentioned in this book, Unexpected Journeys by Janet Kaplan. Varo had her own fantasy world that her paintings represented. Fascinating stuff.ReplyDelete
Jeff Ford
There was an amazing exhibit -- the first ever -- examining the relationship of these women at the Magnes Museum in Berkeley. Here's the link. They fought the Nazis and created amazing art.ReplyDelete
the universe has been pointing me to your blog all day (3 different sources, including THE QC, for which we both just contributed). and now I find all these great back posts you've done on MA Caws (who is a dear friend and is on my diss committee) and Claude Cahun (the subject of my dissertation, which also will look at Orlando).ReplyDelete
so, nice to "meet" you :)

Honey Orchid Phoenix Bird
Oolong tea from China, Honey Orchid Phoenix Bird is a handmade, rare and unsurpassed top grade Phoenix Bird oolong tea made from 700 year old trees in the Phoenix Mountains of China's Guandong province. The ancient roots in combination with pain staking preparation produce a magical infusion that boasts an orchid like honey aroma, a complex yet delicate, sweet fruitiness and toasty wood notes. This private reserve oolong tea will develop richer flavors and body over multiple infusions.• 3 oz. loose tea in bag • 1 rounded tbsp. per 12 oz. cup • Makes 25-30 cups
Oolong tea
Long, dark twisted leaves
Honey-floral nose
Golden-yellow liquor
Complex, smooth palate including a highly pronounced natural nectarine-like fruit flavor and woody notes with sweet lingering finish
Preparing the perfect cup of tea is a process to be savored. Watch how the traditional elements harmoniously come together to make the perfect cup and enjoy the liberation of pure tea goodness.
This is what we call the Mighty Leaf signature multi-sensory ("sensory melange") tea experience. Come share with us and learn how to get infused.
The quality of tea is affected by the quality of water used to prepare it. Using filtered or bottled water is best. If possible, avoid brewing tea with tap, distilled or mineral water. Never over-boil water, as it results in flat-tasting tea.
1) Heat filtered or bottled water to 185-205F, less than boiling. 2) While the water is heating pour hot water into your teapot and cups, let sit and then drain completely. A warm teapot will maintain the requisite temperature for superior tasting tea.
Whole Leaf Tea
Prepare Mighty Leaf teas using a teapot, paper tea sachet, infuser or traditional brewing methods. Use one rounded tablespoon of loose oolong tea per 12 ounces or cup of water.
Infusion Time
Pour boiling water over tea leaves. Keep teapot covered to retain heat. Time steeping carefully and infuse for 3 - 5 minutes.
Savor the Leaf
Sip your cup and rediscover the pleasure of the way tea was naturally meant to be. This is the magic of Mighty Leaf.
Health Benefits
Like black and green teas, oolong contains an abundant source of natural plant-derived antioxidant compounds called polyphenols. Included within the broad antioxidant polyphenol class are flavonoids and catechins. A kind of flavonoid, catechins are found in tea leaves and may provide protective antioxidant action against harmful free radicals.
Research shows that these free radicals cause heart disease, some kinds of cancer and increase the risk of strokes. Drinking oolong tea with its high antioxidant levels help protect the body by combating dangerous free radical activity. In addition, oolong tea provides a source of nutrients including magnesium, Manganese, potassium, calcium, the vitamins C and K and the amino acid theanine, all in trace amounts.
Oolongs like Honey Orchid Phoenix Bird begged to be drunk solo so that you can appreciate the complex depth of aroma and layers of flavor.
However, oolongs are also versatile teas traditionally drunk with food. Phoenix Bird pairs well with a wide array of foods, including meat, seafood and chocolate.
