- VA backlog by the numbers
William Kasten's disability claim has languished at the Department of Veterans Affairs' Oakland Regional Office for more than 700 days. But the Livermore man is more concerned with another number: $140. That is the sum of his family's savings.
Kasten suffers debilitating back pain and depression stemming from his Coast Guard service and can no longer work. He has lost two homes to foreclosure and had a car repossessed -- all while waiting for help from a VA bureaucracy drowning in red tape.
He is caught in a crushing backlog of claims affecting veterans of all generations, but falling most heavily on post-9/11 vets who are returning to civilian life with physical and mental disabilities.
"This is just a national scandal," said Kasten, 56, who is married with three children. "It is unbelievable."
Bay Area representatives Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo, and Barbara Lee, D-Oakland, are holding a "fix-it" event Friday in San Francisco to help bring attention to what everyone agrees is a crisis.
The VA acknowledges that there are slightly more than 800,000 pending claims clogging its 58 regional offices with an average wait time of 273 days before a claim is processed. But the Center for Investigative Reporting, citing internal VA documents, found last month that those veterans face wait times that can be twice as long.
The Oakland office, which serves Northern California veterans and has more than 30,000 claims pending, was singled out as being among the nation's worst with a wait period of 618 days for initial claims.
"This is the biggest issue facing new veterans that's preventing them from transitioning on to civilian life -- getting health care and compensation for injuries they suffered, " said Ann Weeby, 32, who served in Iraq and now is an advocate with the San Francisco Veterans Affairs Commission. "They fought for their country. They shouldn't have to fight for their benefits."
VA Secretary Eric Shinseki told the U.S. Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs this week that his agency will fix the backlog by 2015. That pronouncement was met with skepticism.
"There's a disconnect between the people in Washington who say they're working on it and vets who tell us every day that they're struggling," said Paul Rieckhoff, founder of the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. "What are vets supposed to do between now and 2015? Call up Eric Shinseki and have him pay your bills? Until then, you're in purgatory, and it's wrong."
Attempts to reach Oakland VA director Douglas Bragg for comment were unsuccessful.
Delays have grown despite the addition of more staff and the ongoing rollout of a $537 million computer system that has yet to lessen the VA's reliance on paper records. And the problem could get worse: An estimated 1 million service members are expected to become veterans in the next five years.
Shinseki said this week the agency is dealing with an unprecedented number of claims from veterans involving mental health issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder. Also, veterans who served in Vietnam and the Gulf War are filing new claims now that the VA has added to its list of diseases exposure to Agent Orange and other conditions that previous administrations had dismissed.
Dottie Guy suffered an ankle injury in basic training and aggravated it while serving in the military police in Iraq. She's had reconstructive surgery, wears a brace, has constant pain and has waited more than two years on her claim.
"On one hand, this is definitely small potatoes (compared) to people who have limbs blown off," said Guy, 31, who also is a member of the San Francisco Veterans Affairs Commission. "But I'm in chronic pain. What I really want is the acknowledgment that I was hurt serving my country and that I deserve proper care without waiting months for treatment."
Army veteran John Williams, of San Jose, said he suffers from peripheral neuropathy connected to Agent Orange exposure. He waited nearly 500 days before learning last August his claim had been denied. An appeal now is pending.
"I'm losing the feeling in my feet," said Williams, 66, recently retired from a career in construction. "It's very frustrating. I feel like I'm back where I was -- no communication."
Kasten has begun to wonder if his case is beyond fixing. His Coast Guard career took him around the world, including serving at Prince William Sound in Alaska after the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill and in Moscow, where he met his Chinese-born wife, Anli. He was injured in Panama in 1995 as part of a counterdrug mission when he was thrown headfirst into the bulkhead of a cigarette boat, leaving him with chronic severe back pain.
After retiring in 2009, it took 11 months before the VA rated him 40 percent disabled, which was below what he needs to receive benefits beyond his pension. He has since filed a series of appeals -- the oldest of which has been pending for 733 days.
VA officials often seem to have no idea where his records are and communicating with them "just eats at my soul," Kasten said. When he asked to speed up the process, Kasten said he was told by a VA worker: "I don't see any reason why yours should be expedited. Lots of veterans are having financial trouble."
That is unacceptable, Rieckhoff said.
"As you're waiting at the Oakland office 618 days, the bills are piling up," he said. "The marital problems increase. The mental health issues increase. These are the faces of bureaucratic failure."

Four weeks into the football season, Midland Valley looked dead in the water. With a tough opening schedule and a quiet offense, the Mustangs definitely weren't talking playoffs.
They sure are now. With six wins in seven games, the Valley isn't just in the playoffs. They're hosting a second round game.
That doesn't mean it's going to come easy, though. Berkeley, the reigning Class AAAA Champs, are coming to town this week. It's safe to say, the Mustangs are more than happy to let the Stags make the nearly three hour trip to The Valley.
Head Coach Rick Knight says, "As I've said before, it's a comfort zone being here in The Valley, and let them travel three hours to get here. We're playing one of the elite programs in the state of South Carolina. They're the defending Class AAAA State Champions."
One of the big questions is what caused the turn around in Graniteville?? A big part of that is a defense that has really stepped up. They replaced nine starters from last year, but this Mustang "D" can do it all.
Senior Tevin Nuckles says, "It plays a big role in our winning abilities. We can score on both sides of the ball. We can score at any point during the game, so it helps out a lot and takes the pressure off the offense."
Coach Knight says his defense has caused more turnovers than any defense he's had in a long time. They'll need to keep it up in order to move on this week.

Gabby Green is spending her summer vacation traveling to exotic locations and playing basketball with some of the top young players in the world.
And she's doing it with the words Team USA splashed across her jersey for the first time.
A standout at St. Mary's High since her freshman year, Green is now making her mark on the international stage as one of the youngest players on the women's under-19 national team. The squad, comprised mostly of college players, is seeking a title at the FIBA World Championships, which began July 18 in Lithuania.
Green, a slender 6-foot-1 guard, is one of just three players on the team still in high school. Her new teammates include Breanna Stewart, who starred in Connecticut's NCAA championship run, and several other prominent college players like Duke's Alexis Jones and UConn's Moriah Jefferson.
"It's a big learning experience, just playing with all these great players," Green said. "It was kind of hard at the beginning because they are all more experienced than I am, but now everyone is settling in and everything is getting easier and plays are coming together."
Just making the team was a major thrill for Green, who had attended try outs for USA basketball teams twice in the past without making the cut.
When she arrived at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs in May for the under-19 team trials, Green said she concentrated on getting rebounds and doing the little things rather than trying to score the most points.
Her size on the perimeter was also a major plus.
"She played very within herself and showed how a great teammate she is," said Katie Meier, the under-19 team coach who also coaches at Miami. "That's where I think she elevated her game. We have some tremendous posts and she just kept feeding them."
Team USA prepared for the world championships with a week-and-a-half of training in Colorado Springs. Then they headed to the Canary Islands, where they won the Lanzarote International Invitational earlier this month.
Green came off the bench, averaging 12 minutes, and was an asset to Team USA's transition game. Meier has also been pleased with Green's hustle, energy and attitude.
"She asks really high-level questions," Meier said. "She's a very bright, very positive kid."
Basketball runs in the family for Green, whose parents are each over 6 feet tall and are former players. Green started playing in elementary school and was already pushing 6 feet and on the radar of college coaches by the time she began her freshman year at St. Mary's.
Her game is developing further this summer as she plays with other budding stars against international competition.
"I just want to take in everything people have taught me here and hopefully help (St. Mary's) win a state championship," she said.

Local Dems unsure of best Senate candidate
February 21, 2013
PARKERSBURG — Reports that one-time U.S. Sen. Carte Goodwin ruled out a bid to run in 2014 have many in the Democratic Party unsure of who would be the best candidate to replace U.S. Sen....
Surely they're all qualified to keep WV at the bottom end of most every national ranking. perhaps a change is in order for The Mountain State?
3 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I don't care who the Democrats nominate to challenge Shelley,they will not become a Senator this time. This is Capito's for the taking!!!
2 Agrees | 4 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I think we, as tax paying Americans, should vote every single senator out as their terms expire. Every one of them. They've done nothing. And they admit right out loud that they vote this way or that simply to be re-elected. I'd get fired if I worked as hard as they do.

One who wants to move forward????? Lotsa luck there,unless it's for themselves.

@bmitchel56 for binaries of the latest version. The source is still available, and you could build it yourself. So it doesn't invalidate the GPL.
License says GPL, but latest version 3.2 requires payment to obtain.
My opinion of NeoOffice keeps improving. For academic work, I'm finding that it converts between formats, while preserving footnotes and endnotes, better than any other Mac app I know of. When I have to deal in Word documents, NeoOffice takes better care of Word's footnotes than MS Word does! I only use Writer, but that's enough to make NeoOffice worthwhile.
Wondering whether future versions will follow the LibreOffice fork of OOo. Given the plug from NeoOffice on LibreOffice's website, I'm guessing they will.
I love NeoOffice
Description implies that OpenOffice.org requires X11. This was true in the past, but current versions of OOo for Mac are written in Aqua, no X11 needed. For both PPC & Intel Macs.
n ice, not the very best
It's a large app but it does what it does well, for small edits I would recommend Bean, for more stylish work Pages.
NeoOffice often surprises me, particularly when I need conversions. I have MS Office too, but I open Neo instead of PowerPoint when someone eMails a .ppt file because Neo is more reliable. More than once, NewOffice's draw program saved me out in the field.
The new 3.0 version is much faster than OOo itself. A nice update.
minor caution - this program will launch itself after install without asking you - a bit of a pain if you're doing something else and just want to update in the background, as it can bring older systems grinding to a halt while it launches.

Yes Prime Minister (Touring)
Following two sell-out West End seasons, Yes, Prime Minister comes to the Bristol Hippodrome for one week only.
The original writers of the classic BBC TV series, Antony Jay and Jonathan Lynn have reunited for this anniversary production and now the Prime Minister Jim Hacker and his Cabinet Secretary Sir Humphrey Appleby are back in this hilarious new play.
In a world of spin, BlackBerrys and 'sexed up' dossiers, the PM is staring disaster in the face. The country is on the brink of financial meltdown and the Government's only apparent salvation comes from a morally dubious deal with the Foreign Minister of Kumranistan. Will Jim Hacker and his team of advisors be able to rescue the country from the edge?

BURKE COUNTY, Ga. (WRDW) -- The standoff with a wanted man in Burke County ended on Wednesday night without any injuries.
The Richmond County SWAT team was called in to help Burke County officers in the standoff with 34-year-old Paul Fontenot.
Fontenot had an active warrant from an aggravated assault case in Jefferson County on March 15. Investigators say he brutally beat someone who had to be taken to the hospital.
The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office came to Burke County looking for him since he was supposedly living with his girlfriend, Hanu Yi.
Deputies made contact with Yi and could see Fontenot inside the home, but they say Yi would not open the door or come to the door.
Two children, a 7-year-old female and a 10-year-old boy, were inside the home during the standoff.
The Wadley Police Department came out to the scene and confirmed Yi was involved in the beating that happened on March 15.
Fontenot and Yi were both taken into custody and are being held at the Burke County Jail.
Yi is facing hindrance of arrest and child endangerment since the SWAT team had to go in with children present.
Fontenot also is facing child endangerment charges. He has an extensive criminal history, including multiple armed robberies, burglaries, false imprisonment, weapons charges and felony arrests. He's also got multiple misdemeanor warrants out of Richmond County.

News 12 First at Five / Tuesday, Feb. 12, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- What does the future hold for the city's bus system? Augusta commissioners are looking at expanding service to Fort Gordon and south Augusta.
In the coming weeks, they will vote whether to approve Mobility's plan for extending coverage. City leaders tackled that and so much more.
"It's pathetic, it really is," said bus rider Betty Flower.
"It's a lot of words and passing the buck. They are going around around. They're still going around," said Augusta Bus Association member Annette Mckey.
Mckey and Flower both ride the bus daily. They attended the city's meeting as commissioners tried to find a solution to the city's bus woes.
"The Fort Gordon they're talking about, we mentioned that two years ago. Adding service to south Augusta, we talked about that two years ago," Mckey said.
Only six of the 10 commissioners showed up. They discussed expanding hours the bus ran and adding routes to south Augusta and Fort Gordon.
"I believe that we got the points out," said Commissioner Alvin Mason.
"They have civil service jobs and jobs at the mess hall. If the young people could get a ride out there, it would be a lot of jobs available," Flower said.
"The service doesn't suck. The service is at an all-time high. The on-time performance is in the mid-90s, complaints are down further than they have been," said Mobility President Colin Meeth.
Meeth is blowing the horn on comments about the current service. The question is: Will commissioners do the same?

Marvin Gaye's children sue Robin Thicke over 'Blurred Lines'
This file photo shows singer-actress Nona Gaye by Anthony McCartneyAP Entertainment Writer LOS ANGELES (AP) — Two of Marvin Gaye's children sued Robin Thicke and his collaborators on the hit song "Blurred Lines" on Wednesday, accusing them of copyright infringement and alleging music company EMI failed to protect their father's legacy. Nona Marvisa Gaye and Frankie Christian Gaye's suit is the latest salvo in a dispute over Thicke's hit and whether it copies elements of Gaye's song "Got to Give It Up." Their lawsuit seeks to block Thicke and collaborators Pharrell and T.I. from using elements of their father's music in "Blurred Lines" or other songs.

The media server seems to be downgrading my 5.1 DTS @ 1.5mbps audio into an AC-3 Dolby Digital audio.
Yes, I have checked keep DTS track. However, it seems it is converting it anyway. To test this I changed the AC-3 re-encoding audio bitrate to 576. In the PS3 SELECT settings, it shows the bitrate dropped from 640kbps to 576kbps 5.1 Dolby Digital. I was using MEncoder. I tried updating MEncoder but that didn't change anything, nor did an update to 1.90 (all previous versions have never worked on my PS3). So I decided to switch to tsmuxer.
That is my second problem. When I switched to tsmuxer, there are no titles available. Yes, I'm in the right section, plus I'm only three levels into the file system (not eight).
Any help will be appreciated.
EDIT: Even more problems. If I enable MEncoder and tsmuxer at the same time, the video will play but the audio will play in Linear PCM @1.5mbps but it will just be white noise. Yes, I selected Left + Right in the audio settings of the XMB and selected Normal in the volume settings.
For some reason, this software does not want to play DTS no matter what.

Jewelry for Spring
Posted by Shreve & Co. at 8:23:47 AM in Christopher Designs (26)
At the Spring 2014 New York Fashion Week, among the trends spotted on the runway are the pretty pastels. These are soft springtime shades that are easy and delightful to look at. In fact, the colors can be too simple, sometimes bordering in bland, that it will give you more room for accessorizing. An extravagant display of luxury jewelry to match your plain pastel designer clothes wouldn't be a fashion sin. Christopher Designs, which is known for its big-stone jewelry collections, is an eye-catcher. The grandness of its designs will surely perfectly fit without hurting the softness of your plain, simple pastel attire. But this should not be abused! Keep it to just one jewelry piece that will serve as the focal point. The last thing you want to happen is to draw so much attention to your accessories leaving your dress unnoticed.
Christopher Designs is available at Shreve & Co. on Post Street, San Francisco, Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto, California, and on SW Broadway in Portland, Oregon.

Location: Reproduction Research
Project Number: 3040-31000-091-03
Start Date: Mar 01, 2011
End Date: Feb 28, 2016
On average, 20% of gilts fail to reach puberty and become pregnant. Lack of sufficient secretion of gonadotropin hormones (e.g. Luteinizing hormone; LH) from the pituitary gland is a prominent reason for delayed puberty of pigs. Mechanisms in the hypothalamus that control LH secretion in the gilt are not well understood, but nutrition is an important component. The project goal is to minimize reproductive failure of replacement gilts. The objective will be to establish the function of RFamide-related and kisspeptin peptides in the control of LH secretion of the pig and identify their role in integrating nutrition with the gonadotropic axis of the gilt. Our approach, using intracerebroventricular cannulation, will be to establish the central effects of RFamide-related peptides on secretion of LH in gilts (Aim I). We will determine the direct effect of RFamide-related peptides on LH release from the pituitary gland of the pig (Aim II), and identify the relationship between energy balance and kisspeptin neurons in the hypothalamus of the gilt (Aim III). The rationale is that this work will advance our understanding of the basic biological mechanisms that control gonadotropin secretion in the gilt. The proposed research is significant, therefore, because application of this new fundamental knowledge is expected to lead to development of new strategies to minimize reproductive failure and maximize fertility of replacement gilts. This in turn will increase reproductive efficiency and decrease the expense of pork production.

So, how many of you that have completed an IronMan (which I have not, but in process of training for one) went out and got the IM logo Tattoo somewhere on your body? and why, and would you do it agian if you had the option?
Reason, I see first timers finish and go out and get one - want to hear from those that have - since I am thinking in that direction.
I know that when I complte IM Wisconsin, I will be getting the Mdot tattoo. I will be very proud to have completed such a task. It is a great sacrifice and an even more awesome goal to achieve. What better way to commemorate it than with an Mdot tattoo. I have seen red Mdot's on folks who have completed 1/2 IM's, but I think I will wait for the full...
Good question to raise. I have one. I got it days after my first Ironman Re: IronMan Tattoo.., a few years ago. I doubt I ever get another. One is enough, as it permanently symbolizes an accomplishment of epic proportions. And it continues to give, months, years after the initial inking. It's easy to forget the time, sacrifice, discomfort and pride of preparing yourself for an Ironman, especially after your 4th one. This is unfortunate because anyone that has completed a Ironman knows that upon completion, you can pretty much "do anything". That can tend to fade with time. The tattoo, that permanent reminder of time, sacrifice, discomfort and pride, is a card you can parlay the remainder of your life. It's a little piece of confidence inked into your skin.
Maybe one day I'll even get one!
Mdot.. now I know what to call it.. That is so cool - that alone is worth getting the tattoo ...
Just finished Ironman Canada for the second time a couple weeks ago up in Penticton (25th anniversary of IM Canada) which was fantastic. Met tons of great people from all over and I have to admit there was some tattoo comparing going on I've got two of them - the traditional M-Dot and another design on my arm. Having said that, perhaps this is an appropriate shirt for all of you that DO in fact already have a tattoo - cuz after all, it's not all about the tattoo
cheers all and hope you drop by http://www.gymskinz.com/ to check out more of my triathlon related designs.
I think after I complete my first one I will get the tat also, I don't have any other ink on me yet, so that will be the first. Like was said before its all about the effort.
Also, that way when I get old and feeble I can always have something to remind me of my times in the sun. IF i can remember what it means! hahahahahaha
LOL - that is a great slogan.
I completed my first full Ironman at Couer D'Alene, Idaho in June 2006 and got an MDot on my right calve a couple of months later. I did it to symbolize my accomplishment but a year later it creates a bit of pressure. Now I feel that if I advertise my accomplishment I need to continue to have a body that represents Ironman (which for me is tough).
Mabye the tattoo will forever keep me working out so I can be a good example of what Ironman represents, or maybe its a curse! I can never stop working out!
thanx Mijohe! There's tons more at gymskinz.com!
I completed IM Wisconsin a few weeks ago, and I told myself and my wife I would be getting the M-Dot tattoo when I finished. In fact I was so excited about finishing I got in line the next day to register for 2008 and I'm also doing IM Arizona 08, so I'm sort of nuts. But the desire to get the tattoo faded for me after finishing. I'm not sure why. Maybe I'll still do it, but I'd rather just keep doing more IMs while I still can! Then maybe the M-Dot. But sometimes I feel like running down the street with a big M-Dot cape
Cool - See you at the AZ 2008 IM - It will be my First...

For two decades before she was born, Gail Milissa Grant's father and mother had been actively involved in fighting the barriers of segregation and discrimination in St. Louis. David Grant had been closely associated with national leaders in the movement and was close to numerous celebrities who also played a role. He and they fought successfully on many fronts, but progress was slow. A de facto racial isolation was part of their everyday life. His decision to move his family to South St. Louis, which was virtually all white, was based on economics, not the need to break that particular geographical barrier. But, it put his two young children into a potentially hostile environment. This period is reflected in Gail Milissa Grant's personal account of the period At the Elbows of my Elders…One Family's Journey Toward Civil Rights.

A North Dakota church that received financial help from a New Jersey congregation after a devastating flood 15 years ago is sending money east to help in the wake of Superstorm Sandy.
The Rev. Gerard Braun tells the Grand Forks Herald (http://bit.ly/SnxQIW ) that St. Michael's Catholic Church in Grand Forks has collected about $15,600 and donations are still coming in. The money will be sent to St. Michael's Catholic Church in Long Branch, N.J., which was battered by the recent hurricane.
The New Jersey church gave the Grand Forks church $12,000 after the spring 1997 Red River flood that swamped the North Dakota city.

The 2014 Spring Interdisciplinary Lecture Series intends to responsibly render the plot and character of Ibsen's play as we bring together stakeholders from industry and tourism whose contemporary conflicts are those of Ibsen's play in regards to the environmental malaise of nearby Grand Lake and like the play, nobody is wanting to talk about these issues. The panel is a forum to change that, while we also look to the artwork of Chad Erpelding who investigates the physical and mental spread of culture on a global scale through references to maps and charts.
Erpelding is interested in "the movement of people, business, and organizations, and the effect this has on contemporary perceptions of place." He emphasizes globalization's role in producing greater connectivity between increasingly complex environments through political systems, urban/suburban development, individual travel, and international business organizations.
About the play: "One man's honesty in the face of environmental danger causes him to be persecuted and ridiculed even by his closest allies when his town's tourism economy is threatened."

SAN FRANCISCO -- What's momentum worth in baseball? The stat guys say there is no such thing, that it's all imaginary, but there is something odd and powerful going on with the Giants right now.
Barry Zito is a superstar. Pablo Sandoval is a Verlander-killer. And the Giants' wave gets stronger and stronger. Is that meaningless? Only if you really can't bring yourself to admit it.
Justin Verlander just got ripped apart and knocked out of the game by the Giants in 4 surreal innings, which climaxed with Zito himself lining an RBI single off of a Verlander fastball.
By the way, this is the fourth straight playoff game in which a Giants starting pitcher has driven in a run—which started with Zito himself in Game 5 against St. Louis.
I thought the Giants were going to win this series even if they lost two games to Verlander, and now they've already got him flustered—which has clearly put a shake into the entire Tigers team.
Detroit looks as lifeless as St. Louis did two days ago in Game 7. And that was pretty lifeless. And this is a game the Tigers had to believe was theirs to win.
But no.
It started with Sandoval's long HR to center field in the first on a high Verlander fastball, continued through Angel Pagan's double off of the third-base bag in the third inning, and then (after a visit by the pitching coach that Verlander did not seem too pleased with) Sandoval's second homer, on a flip shot over the left field wall.
UPDATE: Sandoval has since hit HR No. 3 off of Al Alburquerque that made it 6-0.
That got the Detroit bullpen going. In the third inning. With Verlander pitching.
In all, he threw 38 pitches in that unbelievable inning. He threw 98 pitches in his four-inning stint... which means Verlander almost certainly can't be brought back on short rest for Game 4.
Game 5, if necessary, will be Verlander vs. Zito again. I can't believe Detroit likes any of this right now.

CORPUS CHRISTI – Bryce Douvier, a 6-foot-6, 230 pound forward from the University of Northern Colorado, has signed on to join the Texas A&M – Corpus Christi men's basketball team as a transfer, head coach Willis Wilson announced today. Douvier will sit out the 2013-14 season due to NCAA transfer rules, and will have two years of eligibility remaining for the Island University.
"Coach Gross and I have known Bryce since he attended our camps in Houston growing up," Wilson said. "He's a physical player who also has a nice shooting touch, and his work ethic and character are outstanding. He embodies the attributes that we preach to our players – character, toughness and talent."
Douvier played in 17 games for the Bears in 2012-13, shooting 20-for-31 from the field in limited action. He posted a double-double in the season opener with 15 points and 10 boards against Southwest, going 7-for-8 from the field. He also added eight points in 14 minutes in a road game at UC Davis on Feb. 23. He played in 18 games as a freshman, including a double-double with 10 points and 10 boards in a start against Johnson & Wales.
The native of Sedgwick, Kan., spent a year playing in prep school at Fork Union (Va.) Military Academy after playing his high school ball for Sedgwick High under Darren Crumrine. In his senior campaign, he led Sedgwick to a Division 3A state championship, averaging 22 points, 14 rebounds, four blocks, three assists and two steals. He was a Kansas Basketball Coaches Association All-Star and a VYPE Magazine Top 20 Player for the state of Kansas in his senior campaign.
Douvier was born in Salzburg, Austria, and earned a spot on the country's MU20 national team in 2011. His father, Randy, played professional basketball there in the 1980s. He joins signees Jeff Beverly (Houston/Clear Lake) and Rashawn Thomas (Oklahoma City/Southeast) as the Islanders' new additions heading into the 2013-14 season.

SAN JOSE -- Green Bay Packers wide receiver James Jones is "all in" with his alma mater San Jose State as it looks to return to a bowl game for the first time since 2006.
The former Spartans wide receiver, now in his sixth year in the NFL, spoke to players before SJSU's practice Wednesday and delivered a message about enjoying their special season. The product of San Jose's Gunderson High is back in town this week with the Packers on a bye.
"It was great. James is a great guy," Spartans coach Mike MacIntyre said. "He's been calling me and texting me some as the season's gone along. He's been following us. He's real excited about everything we're doing."
Jones was on SJSU's last team to make it to a bowl. He caught six passes for 106 yards and two touchdowns in the Spartans' 20-12 win over New Mexico in the New Mexico Bowl and earned the game's offensive MVP award.
SJSU (7-2, 3-1 Western Athletic Conference) is in position to return to a bowl game. The Spartans' 42-13 win over Idaho made them bowl eligible.
Jones was a third-round pick of the Packers in the 2007 draft and won a Super Bowl in the 2010 season. "He was just giving us his experience what he's been through since college," SJSU junior receiver Noel Grigsby said. "Telling us that we need to be all in. These next couple of games are big steps in our program that can get us over the hump to double digit wins. Telling us to cherish the moment right now and enjoy our time with our friends and this football family we've developed. There's nothing like the college experience so enjoy it while you can."
It's hard to beat the message Jones is able to deliver. A local product who was unheralded coming into college, Jones developed into a standout receiver who is now enjoying his finest season as a pro. He's on pace to set career highs in receptions, yards and already has a career high with an NFL-leading eight touchdown catches.
"One thing that people respond to is others who have been in that situation," Grigsby said. "He's a proven winner. In college, that team went 9-4 and won a bowl game. He won a Super Bowl. He plays with arguably the best quarterback in the game right now.
"He knows what it takes. He knows hard work. We see him up here during the summer working out. It's always good to hear from him. He's probably going to be a Pro Bowler this year so seeing what he's doing on the field and seeing the message he relays to us, who wouldn't listen?"

Special Interests - Law: incorrect subsequent case citation - Chicago styleBottom of Page
1 to 13 of 13
In Chicago style (note without bibliography), the first time I cite a case it comes out correctly.
- CommentAuthorerinkavon
- CommentTimeNov 9th 2010
For example:
Douglas v. California, 372 U.S. 353 (1963)
However, in subsequent citations, the note always includes the volume number, which is not necessary. For example:
Ibid., 372.
Douglas v. California, vol. 372.
Anybody know what's going on here?
yeah - that's purposefully written in the style. I just don't know for what purpose... clearly doesn't make sense here
- CommentAuthoradamsmith
- CommentTimeNov 9th 2010
Would this make sense for other types of items?
Also, I don't have much time to check, but how does this look in the full note style?
It looks the same in full note style.

If this format is purposefully written in the style, how do we go about changing it? Or, if it is necessary for some sources, can we change it for case citations?
I usually leave all CMOS style issues for Elena/erazlogo, who has written the styles and knows the manual very well - but I haven't seen her around for a while - I was hoping she'd chime in.

With the recent updates, the problem persists, but in a slightly different form. Now subsequent citations come out looking like this:
- CommentAuthorerinkavon
- CommentTimeApr 6th 2011
Douglas v. California, 372:.
It no longer says "Vol." but the number still shows up and there is a bizarre colon following the number. Does anyone have any thoughts about how to correct this?
I'll guess I'll have to fix this - I really wish erazlogo would still do this - CMoS seems to me like this fragile, artful sculpture, where anytime I touch it something breaks... give me a couple of weeks until I'm through with my backlog of styles

@erikavon: From the style, it looks like this should only happen when the item is type "Book". (If that's so, we know the issue, and can file a fix with confidence.)

@adamsmith I can do this if you like, to make sure that everything else is working--let me know if you already fixed it.

@fbennett: yes this was added for multivolume books only
- CommentAuthorerazlogo
- CommentTimeApr 7th 2011
@erazlogo, You've probably seen the traffic already, but just in case: That function needs to use a choose element with if variable="locator", rather than a group. The implicit conditional in a group is now satisfied (i.e. evaluates true and renders) if anything inside a nested group renders. So even without a locator, the deeper content will render in that function if (say) the volume variable has a value in that function.

The EU Week Ahead: Jan. 21 to 27
This year's first meeting of European finance ministers will be the highlight of next week. Ministers from countries using the euro will arrive in Brussels Monday for a meeting of the so-called Eurogroup, with their counterparts from the non-euro countries joining Tuesday. Then, many EU commissioners will be in Davos, Switzerland, for the World Economic Forum. The two top Brussels VIPs will be in South America for two summits.
Here are the details:
Monday, the Eurogroup meeting will start, in the afternoon. Ministers are expected to pick Dutch Finance Minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem as their new president. Mr. Dijsselbloem will succeed Jean-Claude Juncker, the prime minister of Luxembourg who has headed it for the last eight years. Italy's Finance Minister Victor Grilli will also speak to the economic and monetary affairs committee of the European Parliament before that. France's Foreign Affairs Minister Laurent Fabius will brief the foreign affairs committee of the Parliament about the situation in Mali. The Croatian minister of economy will also be in town.
Tuesday is Ecofin day: The finance ministers from all 27 EU countries will decide whether to allow 11 states togo ahead and introduce a finanical transaction tax and discuss progress made in negotiations with the European Parliament on a new supervisor and stricter capital requirements for banks. The Irish Minister Michael Noonan will also speak to the European Parliament's economic committee. In Luxembourg, the European Court of Justice will issue some interesting judgments: The first one will be on whether broadcasters who own exclusive rights to events can be required to provide images to competitors — for no profit — that would be used in news reports. The other one is a further ruling on the never-ending trademark battle between the giant beer maker AB InBev and the Czech brewer Budějovický Budvar.
Wednesday, many commissioners will travel to Davos for the big Forum. The Parliament will discuss and vote on the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy, or CAP, Europe's most expensive policy, as the negotiation among institutions on its overhaul is entering a critical phase.
The Parliament and representatives of the countries will hold trialogues Tuesday and Wednesday on banking supervision. But as we wrote on Thursday, negotiations are moving very slowly and won't be concluded by the end of the month.
Thursday, the Court of Justice will issue a ruling on whether a betting monopoly in Greece is legal.The President of the European Commission José Manuel Barroso and the European Council President Herman Van Rompuy with be in Brazil for an EU-Brazil summit. They will go on to Santiago, in Chile for a summit with Latin American countries Saturday and Sunday.

KETTERING, Ohio (October 30, 2012)—With a week to go before Election Day, Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney is launching a statewide advertising campaign in Pennsylvania, making a final-week bid to defeat President Barack Obama in territory long considered safe for Democrats.
No Republican presidential candidate has carried the state in nearly a quarter century. Recent polls suggest the race there is close.
Republican officials with knowledge of the plan report that Romney's campaign will begin running ads statewide as soon as Wednesday.
The buy includes the expensive Philadelphia broadcast market, where Romney's campaign was reluctant to invest earlier in the month.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss campaign strategy.
Romney is working to expand the political battlefield to help widen his path to the 270 electoral votes needed for victory.

Cancer Health Center
Losing Weight May Help Lower Cancer Risk
May 1, 2012 -- For postmenopausal women who are overweight or obese, new research offers more incentive to start shedding pounds.
According to a study published in the journal Cancer Research, losing even a small proportion of your overall body weight significantly reduces inflammation in your body and potentially lowers your risk of developing several different types of cancer, including breast cancer.
"I think the main issue is body fat," researcher Anne McTiernan, MD, PhD, director of the Prevention Center at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, writes in an email to WebMD. "The more fat one has, the more inflammation-producing cells there are, and therefore the more inflammation ... produced and sent into the bloodstream."
Reducing Pounds, Inflammation
For the year-long study, McTiernan and her colleagues recruited 439 women throughout the greater Seattle area who were between the ages of 50 and 75. All of them had a body mass index (BMI) of 25 or higher, which meant that they were all considered overweight or obese. They were otherwise considered healthy, with no history of breast cancer, heart disease, diabetes, or other serious illness. None of them were smokers or heavy drinkers.
The women were split into four groups. The first group dieted, eating between 1,200 and 2,000 calories a day, of which less than 30% were fat calories. The second group exercised 225 minutes per week, both at home and under supervision at a gym. The third group both dieted and exercised. The fourth, the comparison group, did not change either their diet or exercise habits.
After a year, the first and third groups had lost an average of 8.5% and 10.8% of their body weight, respectively. Their reductions in inflammation were even more dramatic.
For example, C-reactive protein levels -- elevated levels of which have been associated with lung and colon cancer -- dropped by an average of 36.1% for the diet group and 41.7% for the diet and exercise group. Other inflammatory indicators dropped as well.
For Weight Loss, Dieting Is Essential
The key to this study's result, says McTiernan, was diet, especially when combined with exercise. "Very few people can lose significant amounts of weight from exercise alone. We've done several year-long studies testing exercise alone, even large amounts up to an hour a day, and on average it produces about 3 to 4 pounds of weight loss over the year," she says. "That being said, our strongest effects were primarily in the combined diet and exercise program."

Mr. McCrea will 0 eftic&Uy likm ovjr the duties of the secretary-treasurer! in which capacity he r!Thas "acted temporarily since the death of the^ate1 James J. JSwaney.' Mr. McCrea wds' electefcT'by a Aiajority of the Tribal CouncironJ-JiaIy^l3>, 1957 whereby three other applicants had also filed for the position. The adminstrative work of the Tribal Council is not new to Bob as he has had a number of years of experience in business administrative work despite his age. Bob attended school at Chemawa, Oregon. He later attended high school in Ro-nan, Montana, and later graduated from Mechanical Arts school in San Francisco. In 1939 Bob worked in the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Washington, D. C, and later moved to Chicago where the Bureau of Indian Affairs had their offces in the Merchandise Mart Building. In 1943 Bob entered the service and was a 2nd SKT 2-c in the U. S. Navy. After'spending three years in the Navy, Bob worked for the Retirement Board, Los Angeles. He later came to Montana and worked for the United States Irrigation Service and the Montana Power until he went to work for the Tribal Council in April of 1955. Bob has proved his ability and will no doubt be a credit to the organization. 'ÌSÀ t Superintendent's Comments I have been encouraged by your editor and chairman of the Tribal Business Council, Walter McDonald to break a " comparative silence that I have kept 'since arriving at the Flathead Reservation'last June with my wife and five . children — Betty, Jean, Charles Jr. (Chuck), Helen and Tommy. , The entire family enjoys living in Dixon where we find excellent neighbors and a ft summer climate that cannot be excelled S anywhere. I understand the winters are moderate and we intend to enjoy them Tp members of the Flathead Tribe and ¿7 the Tribal Council I wish to say that | during my short acquaintance you have all lived up to your very fine reputation for friendliness and cooperation, of which ! had heard so much favorable comment before being assigned to this Reservation. My several visits with the Business '.', Council have impressed me with their sincere effort to fulfill their responsibi-members of the tribe in using the resources in a manner that brings - sincere r Bty'to r I ' jrihal ri the people the highest possible returns consistent with good management and conservation practices. It has been a pleasure to meet those people who have came to my office to do business and visit me. I have also enjoyed visiting with a number of people in their homes and intend to call on many more while I am stationed here. By working together I hope that the Flathead people can make this a better place to live and I know that everyone realizes that very little will ever happen to people or in a community until the people themselves do something about it. One outstanding example of this has been the development of the Christmas tree industry on the reservation. I hope that through your own efforts many more industries, both large and small, will be developed that will afford a year around income. I assure you that you will have the wholehearted cooperation of this administration. Charles S. Spencer Indian Operator Buys 29 Million Feet of Timber The Dupius Brothers Lumber company Plains, on July 29 exercised their Indian preference to meet the high bid for the 29 million feet of timber on the Bas-soo logging unit. The original bid by Dupius Brothers was $31.75 for Ponder-osa pine and $12.75 for fir and larch. Under the Indian preference clause they were able to submit a new bid equal to the high bid of $34.70 for pine and $12.75 for fir and larch. This sale will mean a gross income to the Tribe of approximately $160,000 a year over the next five years. There was a total of four bidders for the timber. The Dupius Brothers sawmill, a small but efficient one, is located at Dog Lake, about 12 miles southwest of Hot Springs and about 30 miles from the Bas-soo unit. Five million board feet are to be cut from the sale before March 31, 1958. Bassoo is one of the largest uncut units on the Reservation. The stand is mostly Ponderosa pine of average or better quality. This sale is the first sale on the Reservation where a cruise of the quality of the timber was made. All future sales of timber will be based upon a "Log Grade Recovery" cruise. This type of cruise determines the quality of the stand as well as the quantity of timber present, and is a definite aid in determining the value of the timber to be sold.

Ex-North Port commissioner convicted of drunken driving

NORTH PORT - Former North Port city commissioner David Garofalo was convicted of drunken driving Tuesday by an Indiana court.
Garofalo, who makes $58,672 per year as a Pasco County fire captain, was stopped by Indianapolis police in May. He is said to have driven into a ditch and gotten trapped in his vehicle when it overturned.
Garofalo told the Indianapolis officer he had consumed five beers before driving, and, according to the report, failed a series of field sobriety tests. He was given three separate breath tests, but provided an "invalid sample" each time.
Garofalo, 36, was sentenced to a year's probation and must pay $916.50 in fines and court costs.
He did not respond to calls seeking comment.
Garofalo's Indianapolis defense attorney Jon Haggerty declined to comment about the case.
In June, Garofalo was questioned about drinking when his estranged wife told police he showed up drunk to pick up their two children for visitation.
Last month he was charged with beating his girlfriend in the parking lot of the Tamiami Bar in Punta Gorda.
All charges were dropped weeks later.
In November, Garofalo lost his North Port City Commission District 1 Seat to political newcomer Cheryl Cook. Cook won 56 percent of the vote to Garofalo's 44 percent count.
Garofalo had served on the City Commission for four years.
