SANTA CLARA -- Now that Phil Dawson has re-signed with the 49ers for two more seasons, he'll have to learn the nuances of kicking in their new $1.3 billion home.
Levi's Stadium's wind patterns already have Dawson's attention as much as the 49ers' infamous old field, Candlestick Park.
"We'll see about the wind. I'm definitely going to try to get in there," Dawson said Tuesday on a media conference call. "I watched the video on 49ers.com the other day, and as everyone was marveling at the (installation) of automatic goal posts, I was just staring at the flags that fluctuated.
"Then I went to weather.com and saw it was only a 10 mph day. That's kind of the life I live."
Dawson, after 14 seasons with the Browns, proved a phenomenal pickup last spring for the 49ers. He totaled the second-most field goals in 49ers history (32), including a franchise-record 27 in a row at one point.
He made walk-off field goals in the 49ers' regular-season finale at Arizona and again the following week in their wild-card playoff win at Green Bay. He made all seven of his field-goal attempts in the playoffs, and 32 of 36 in the regular season.
"There'll be some adjustments and learning curve going into the new stadium, but that'll be exciting and fun," Dawson said. "It's very similar to the situation I was in last year where I had to go into a new stadium and figure it out. I welcome that challenge. It's a beautiful place and I look forward to playing in it."
At 39, Dawson hasn't put a limit on how much longer he'll kick, though he said he hasn't noticed any downward trend yet.
In hammering out his new contract the past couple weeks, Dawson said the 49ers handled negotiations in first-class fashion, "even when things got to the point we didn't see completely eye-to-eye."
One guy Dawson won't be seeing in the 49ers locker room anymore is safety Donte Whitner, who fled as a free agent to his native Cleveland -- and Dawson's former team, the Browns.
"If most guys are honest, they have a soft spot in their hearts for their hometowns, and obviously Donte gets to go home," Dawson said. "One thing I know about Cleveland, when you grow up there, you wear orange and brown. No matter where you go or how far you go on, when you grow up in Cleveland, you're a Browns fan. I'm sure it's a special opportunity for Donte.
"We're going to miss him. He's a great player. He will be a huge addition to the organization. The thing I love about (the 49ers) organization, when they lose someone, they pick someone up and they certainly did that with Antoine (Bethea). We're going to keep plugging away and getting better."

Denial's impact on Holocaust historiography
106.Polls have shown that the public in the United States, as well as in various Western European countries, have not responded to the deniers. In fact, in the United States there are apparently more people who believe that Elvis Presley is alive than who believe the Holocaust did not happen. Why then my concern? The real danger of Holocaust denial is one that looms in the future. This is one of the main reasons that I wrote this book. When the time comes and there are no survivors, liberators, or witnesses alive to tell their story, the deniers will find their path easier to tread. As long as there are those alive who can speak in the first person singular about this event, e.g. this is my story, this is what happened to me, the deniers face a serious obstacle. Most people find it hard to believe that all these survivors are purposefully lying. But when the survivors are no longer alive this obstacle will have been removed. Then, when no one can say "this is the story of me, my parents, siblings, cousins, and friends," it will be easier for deniers to portray the survivors as willful liars.
107.Until then deniers will aim to capture the minds of those who have little or, at best, a hazy knowledge of these evils. In countries such as the United States, where there exist grave lacunae in knowledge of history, the general public is extremely susceptible to this form of obfuscation.

The Surprising News About Vehicle Emissions
DANIEL SPERLING: The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) met last month in Berlin to finalize its scientific assessment of solutions to curb greenhouse gas emissions. One of the key takeaways in the report is the opportunity for large emission reductions in the transportation sector.
Transportation is often thought to be the most intractable sector for reducing energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. Globally, the transport sector has steadily increased its share of total energy use, reaching 27% in 2010. The IPCC report, for which I contributed to the transport chapter along with my UC Davis colleagues Lew Fulton and Richard Plevin, breaks with past reports in articulating a more optimistic view of what is possible.
We are seeing a technological revolution in vehicle technology—changes that were thought to be highly unlikely even 10 years ago. Between 2010 and 2030, world-wide energy efficiency improvements in vehicles are expected to improve by 30% to 50%. Behavioral changes and integrated urban planning could also provide similar contributions, were the right public policies put into practice. Indeed, vehicle use per capita has already started to shrink in the U.S. and other OECD countries, another trend not foreseen a decade ago.
As the IPCC report notes, this shift toward more efficient vehicles, combining with slowing growth in light duty vehicle demand, is already producing a leveling off of oil demand, with consumption expected to head downward in the coming decades. In its 2013 Energy Outlook, even oil giant BP is projecting that oil demand has peaked in the OECD.
Perhaps the greatest challenge to decarbonization of the transportation sector is the expected high rate of return on investments in carbon-laden fuels by wealthy fossil-fuel companies. The oil sector is poised for a productivity revival based on new technologies for recovering unconventional oil and gas from shale formation. Environmental activists have focused on this carbonization by calling for divestiture from fossil fuel company shares. While shareholder movements of this sort have not been shown to have demonstrable lasting impact, policies targeting coal and oil company shareholder returns from high carbon fuels could prove an effective new area of regulation. But consumers will only embrace such measures if low carbon fuel alternatives flourish.
California has played a pivotal role in promoting the adoption of low carbon fuel technologies. It has done so through a combination of policy approaches, including a carbon cap and trade market, electric car mandate, investments in alternative fuel infrastructure, and fuel standards that force decarbonization over time. The results so far have been mixed but have pushed and pulled low-carbon technologies into the marketplace. Research from the Institute of Transportation Studies at the University of California, Davis highlights the importance of a portfolio approach in reducing energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. The key features of a low-carbon pathway include much more efficient cars and trucks, transition to electric and hydrogen energy for cars and other modes, and advanced biofuel use in long haul trucks and planes. The ITS Davis scenarios study shows that a 60% to 80% reduction in greenhouse gases in the transportation sector is possible by 2050, and that many of the changes would result in cost savings to consumers.

Does this mean the end of Aaron Levie's neon sneakers and pithy tweets?
With word Monday that Levie's high-flying Los Altos cloud-storage startup, Box, has filed for an initial public offering with preliminary plans to raise $250 million, the 20-something co-founder and CEO may have to tone down his online banter and switch to dress shoes when he meets with bankers.
In a letter to investors released Monday in which Levie describes how he started Box in 2005 with his childhood pal Dylan Smith as a tool to make it "incredibly easy for people to get to their files from anywhere," the colorful college dropout said Box wants to "change how people could access, share and collaborate on information."
"It's been a thrilling ride," Levie wrote. "But it's also just beginning."
Box said Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse, JPMorgan and BMO Capital Markets were among the underwriters for the IPO and that it intends to list its Class A common stock on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol BOX on an as-yet-unannounced date.
What makes Box unique, analysts said, is that instead of targeting individuals seeking to share things like MP3 files, the startup has been selling data-storage software to companies in the Fortune 500. In an interview with this paper in September, analyst R. "Ray" Wang with Constellation Research said of Levie, "There aren't a lot of people Aaron's age who are actually passionate about the enterprise -- even though that's where the money is." By some estimates, the cloud-storage market is worth more than $7 billion a year, and Wang has been among those who predict strong demand when Box finally kicks off an IPO.
In his letter, Levie says that as mobile devices give users the ability to access data and apps at any time and place, their employers must also increasingly store and retrieve information from the cloud. That marriage of mobile and cloud, he says, is the key to Box's success.
"The result is a rare combination of forces that will transform what people expect from the technology they use at work, how organizations think about the power and potential of IT, and eventually, even the structure of entire industries," Levie wrote, adding that Box will help users tap into their work product effortlessly "so that we get the most out of our information anywhere and anytime."

14 Hair "Rules" You Have to Break
Want to know the real reason for your bad hair days? It's probably because you followed some of this really bad advice
Thomas says applying conditioner according to the "rules" repairs the signs of damage on your ends, but does nothing to prevent damage to your healthier sections of hair. So rather than fight a constant battle of damaged ends, fix the problem before it starts by applying conditioner from your crown to your ends, she says. The key to do this without weighing down your hair is to choose a conditioner specifically formulated for your hair type so you get the right amount of moisture.

yes, a good haircut can last 3 months, but if you have really long hair, the ends still start looking and feeling a bit dry even if you moisturize diligently. I find it best to trim more often- hair gets much healthier really soon then.

While I still think is it better to just not color my hair at all, at least when I get bored with it and decide to switch it up I won't feel so guilty. Thanks to Wen, I don't have super dry and brittle hair anymore so many of the other items are no longer a problem either!

Committee seeks ideas After too many years of non-Tribal control, the Blue Bay Resort is back in Tribal hands The resort, which lies on 27.4 acres on the east shore of Flathead Lake was first leased to Tribal member Henry Courvflle in 1957.

A 1957 Char-Koosta read,"... This plan will not only provide the recreational area.. but also a splendid example of what can be gained by coupling Indian resources with equally valuable natural resources.'' It went on to say,"... The Tribal Council is looking forward to a happy combination of community service and added income to the Tribes." In July, 1957, it was opened with accommodations for swimming fishing, camping and picnicking. It also had a small supplies store and a restaurant What happened to the BIG moneymaker? Well, no person who has leased the area has been successful, according to Jim Steele Blue Bay Committee chairman. The lease terms were more or less written without the Tribes in mind, as well The original lease was over $5,000. Since then, due to past mismanagement and undue political influence the operation has become a money-loser, according to Steele The blame for that mismanagement is said to belong to the BIA, which hasn't done a very good job at ensuring that the various managers of the resort complied with the terms of their leases. Steele added that all of the previous leases were written in the late '50s without the management expertise available today to the Tribes and the Bureau. A resolution modifying the FY-85 Tribal budget to allow the buy-out of the resort's lease was passed by the Tribal Council unanimously on March 15, following a lot of work by the committee The buy-out price was $25,000. Now that the Tribes have regained control of the resort area, the committee plans to retain a portion as a resort, while setting aside part as a guaranteed-access area for Tribal members where youth and cultural activities can be enjoyed. "The committee and the Tribal Council are currently evaluating the use of the resort and lands," Steele said, and plan to invite the membership's suggestions by way of a questionaire in the May 28 Char-Koosta "For this summer season only, the Tribes will be soliciting bids from persons to manage the property," he said.

If golf star Phil Mickelson is concerned by a federal probe into possible insider trading involving him, billionaire investor Carl Icahn and Las Vegas gambler William Walters, he did not show it on Saturday.
As he hit a few practice balls before his round at the Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio, Mickelson was in a light-hearted exchange with fellow American golfer Robert Garrigus.
"How's it going, Phil?" asked Garrigus.
"It's been an interesting evening," Mickelson replied, adding with a laugh, "I don't have much to say about it."

Laboratory Investigation of Noise-Canceling Headphones Utilizing "Mr. Blockhead"51(2013); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.4818366View Description Hide Description
While I was co-teaching an introductory course in musical acoustics a few years ago, our class investigated several pieces of equipment designed for audio purposes. One piece of such equipment was a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Our students were curious as to how these devices were in eliminating background noise and whether they indeed block low-frequency sounds as advertised.
Extra Dimensions of Space51(2013); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.4818367View Description Hide Description
They say that there is no such thing as a stupid question. In a pedagogically pure sense, that's probably true. But some questions do seem to flirt dangerously close to being really quite ridiculous. One such question might well be, "How many dimensions of space are there?" I mean, it's pretty obvious that there are three: left/right, up/down, and forward/backward. No matter how you express an object's coordinate, be it Cartesian, spherical, cylindrical, or something exotic, it's eminently clear that we live in a three-dimensional universe.
Evolution of the Significant Figure Rules51(2013); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.4818368View Description Hide Description
Today, almost all introductory physics textbooks include standardized "rules" on how to find the number of significant figures in a calculated value. 1–6 And yet, 30 years ago these rules were almost nonexistent. Whyhave we increased the role of significant figures in introductory classes, and should we continue this trend? A look back at the evolution of significant figures over the last 300 years, from Newton to Millikan to modern authors, sheds some light on their purpose moving forward. While there is much discussion for 7,8 and against 9,10 their use, especially in chemistry, a review of earlier versions of the rules suggests that we have lost some items of value, most notably, a significant figure rule for angles. In addition, we have lost the emphasis that the significant figure rules were designed to calculate an approximate (not exact) precision. Now that the significant figure rules are ingrained into our introductory physics sequence, we would be wise to reiterate that these are just general "rules of thumb."
Electromagnetic Induction with Neodymium Magnets51(2013); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.4818369View Description Hide Description
In April 1820, Hans Christian Ørsted noticed that the needle of a nearby compass deflected briefly from magnetic north each time the electric current of the battery he was using for an unrelated experiment was turned on or off. Upon further investigation, he showed that an electric current flowing through a wire produces a magnetic field. In 1831 Michael Faraday and Joseph Henry separately expanded on Ørsted's discovery by showing that a changing magnetic field produces an electric current. Heinrich Lenz found in 1833 that an induced current has the opposite direction from the electromagnetic force that produced it. This paper describes an experiment that can help students to develop an understanding of Faraday's law and Lenz's law by studying the emf generated as a magnet drops through a set of coils having increasing numbers of turns.
Hockey, iPads, and Projectile Motion in a Physics Classroom51(2013); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.4818370View Description Hide Description
With the increased availability of modern technology and handheld probeware for classrooms, the iPad 1 and the Video Physics 2 application developed by Vernier are used to capture and analyze the motion of an ice hockey puck within secondary-level physics education. Students collect, analyze, and generate digital modes of representation of physics phenomena using modern technologies to complement theoretical plots. This activity acknowledges hockey players' implicit understanding of the launch angle and initial velocity of a saucer pass as basic projectile motion while engaging students in authentic physics-based problem solving.
Classroom Materials from the Acoustical Society of America51(2013); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.4818371View Description Hide Description
As part of the new education initiatives of the Acoustical Society of America (ASA), an activity kit for teachers that includes a variety of lessons addressing acoustics 1 for a range of students (K-12) has been created. The "Sound and Music Activity Kit" is free to K-12 teachers. It includes materials sufficient to teach a class of 30 students plus a USB thumb drive containing 47 research-based, interactive, student-tested lessons, laboratory exercises, several assessments, and video clips of a class using the materials. ASA has also partnered with both the Optical Society of America (OSA) and the American Association of Physics Teachers. AAPT Physics Teaching Resource Agents (PTRA) have reviewed the lessons along with members of the ASA Teacher Activity Kit Committee. Topics include basic learning goals for teaching the physics of sound with examples and applications relating to medical imaging, animal bioacoustics, physical and psychological acoustics, speech, audiology, and architectural acoustics.
High School Physics, Two-Year Colleges, and Physics Majors51(2013); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.4818372View Description Hide Description
We have just completed the data collection for our 2012–13 Nationwide Survey of High School Physics and expect to have results to report in the spring. In the interim, we will take a look at physics in two-year colleges (TYCs). In 2007, we surveyed undergraduate seniors in degree-granting physics departments, and we asked these students if they had begun the post-secondary career at a TYC. Nine percent of the physics undergraduate seniors in 2007 had started their college education at a TYC, and these students differ significantly from those who did not start at a TYC. The two graphs at right depict the high school physics experience for these two groups of students. More than one-fourth of those who started at a TYC did not take physics in high school, and only 18% took AP physics. The 6% of those who did not start at a TYC and did not take physics is consistent with the 5% of high school seniors who attend a school where physics is not offered. Their apparent difference of interest in physics in high school is also evident from their knowledge about AP physics offerings: 25% of those who started at a TYC did not know if AP physics was offered at their high school versus only 5% of those who did not start at a TYC. Since their high school physics experiences were so different, it is likely that something happened in their physics courses at the TYC that captured these students' interest in physics.
Resistivity in Play-Doh: Time and Color Variations51(2013); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.4818373View Description Hide Description
The study of electricity and magnetism is fundamental to all first-year physics courses. Developing simple electricity laboratory experiences that are open ended and inquiry based can be difficult. We wished to create a lab experiment where the students have some control over the experimental design, data analysis is required, and students investigate the concept of resistivity as found in Halliday Resnick, and Walker. 1 This experiment uses modeling clay or Play-Doh™ to demonstrate the properties of ohmic materials and resistivity. We were familiar with the paper "Resistance Measurements on Play-Doh™" by Jones 2 and we have worked to more accurately explain the physics of the experiment. We have also further developed the experiment to better understand how the resistivity of Play-Doh changes with time. This lab is an exciting, fun experiment that connects a new concept with a familiar childhood toy.
Vacuum Energy and Inflation: 1. A Liter of Vacuum Energy51(2013); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.4818374View Description Hide Description
In the popular press, diagrams showing the evolution of the universe begin with a great jump in size labeled "inflation." Can we explain the basic ideas behind inflation to our students who have taken our introductory physics course? Probably not. In our standard introductory physics courses, even those with special relativity, something is missing. We do not talk about how space behaves, and that is a key component in modern astronomy. This is the first of four papers dealing with the behavior of space. They focus on basic cosmology and a discussion of inflation, building on the ideas and experiments covered in introductory physics.
The Frahm Resonance Apparatus: Variations on a Theme51(2013); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.4818375View Description Hide Description
The Frahm resonance principle, in which resonating reeds indicate the frequency of mechanical or electrical oscillations, is a hardy perennial. In this note we will give some history, show some original apparatus, and show how it may be reproduced with relatively little effort.
Corrected Launch Speed for a Projectile Motion Laboratory51(2013); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.4818376View Description Hide Description
At our university, students in introductory physics classes perform a laboratory exercise to measure the range of a projectile fired at an assigned angle. A set of photogates is used to determine the initial velocity of the projectile (the launch velocity). We noticed a systematic deviation between the experimentally measured range and the range calculated using the speed as determined by the photogates. In this paper, we will discuss the origin of this systematic error and derive a simple formula to correct it. In particular, we find that the launch speed given by our instrument is significantly different from the actual launch speed of our projectile.
This Is Rocket Science!51(2013); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.4818377View Description Hide Description
Using model rockets to teach physics can be an effective way to engage students in learning. In this paper, we present a curriculum developed in response to an expressed need for helping high school students review physics equations in preparation for a state-mandated exam. This required a mode of teaching that was more advanced and analytical than that offered by Estes Industries, 1 but more basic than the analysis of Nelson et al. 2,3 In particular, drag is neglected until the very end of the exercise, which allows the concept of conservation of energy to be shown when predicting the rocket's flight. Also, the variable mass of the rocket motor is assumed to decrease linearly during the flight (while the propulsion charge and recovery delay charge are burning) and handled simplistically by using an average mass value. These changes greatly simplify the equations needed to predict the times and heights at various stages of flight, making it more useful as a review of basic physics. Details about model rocket motors, range safety, and other supplemental information may be found online at Apogee Components4 and the National Association of Rocketry. 5
The Other Hall Effect: College Board Physics51(2013); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.4818378View Description Hide Description
Edwin Herbert Hall (1855–1938), discoverer of the Hall effect, was one of the first winners of the AAPT Oersted Medal for his contributions to the teaching of physics. While Hall's role in establishing laboratory work in high schools is widely acknowledged, his position as chair of the physics section of the Committee on College Entrance Requirements was contentious and his involvement in launching College Board Physics, what we call the "other Hall effect," has largely been overlooked. 1 This article details Hall's role in the development of College Board Physics.
Seeing an Old Lab in a New Light: Transforming a Traditional Optics Lab into Full Guided Inquiry51(2013); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.4818379View Description Hide Description
This paper describes the authors' experiences transforming a "cookbook" lab into an inquiry-based investigation and the powerful effect the inquiry-oriented lab had on our students' understanding of lenses. We found the inquiry-oriented approach led to richer interactions between students as well as a deeper conceptual understanding of how images are formed. We observed engaged students participating in scientific discourse full of hypothesizing, modeling, and argumentation based on evidence.

Life is but a journey here on earth. We tend to take everything for granted. You only realize it when you lose someone that fought so hard to just be there for you in every way she knew how. Mom is at peace now and we will always have her spirit with us. She gave us so much love and strength to continue our journey with each other.
She was born Dora Jean Lieber on August 16, 1933 and went to be with her daddy and mother, Walt and Lucile, and our beloved Rhonda on Nov. 15.
Never to be forgotten. Life is short. Say what you think and mean what you say.

In the battle over Proposition 37, the statewide ballot initiative that would require California to label genetically engineered foods, GMO typically refers to "genetically modified organisms."
But in some religious circles, GMO stands for "God Moves Over."
Proposition 37 enjoys endorsements from groups such as the Sierra Club, the California Nurses Association, the United Farm Workers and the Organic Consumers Association. But many religious and faith-based organizations are coming out in support of the measure because genetically engineered food clashes with religious beliefs, from keeping kosher to being stewards of God's creation.
The California Council of Churches, which represents 1.5 million members, says it supports the measure because it's concerned about the spread of genetically modified organisms in the food chain and because "it is immoral that consumers be left in the dark about what is in their food." The national office of the Presbyterian Church has blogged about the ballot initiative and is urging members to support it. The church passed a GMO policy in 2006 calling on the federal government to include genetically modified food products under the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's jurisdiction for testing and approval.
The United Methodist Church, one of the largest Protestant denominations in the country, began to examine its policy on genetically engineered crops in the 1980s. In 2004, the church's highest governing body passed a resolution calling for labeling of all GMOs. In May, the body strengthened its GMO language.
"The responsibility of humankind to God's creation challenges us to examine the possibilities of genetic research and technology in a conscientious, careful and responsible way. Negative impacts on food and the environment must be strenuously avoided," reads the church's position on genetic technology. "Because of the effects of genetic technologies on all life, we call for effective guidelines and public accountability to safeguard against any action that might lead to abuse of these technologies. The risks of genetic technology that can hardly be calculated when breeding animals and plants and the negative ecological and social impact on agriculture make the use of this technology doubtful. We approve of modern methods of breeding that respect the existence of the natural borders of species."
Faith leaders note that the Bible contains numerous references to protecting creation. And that has guided some of the current concern about the modern phenomenon of genetic engineering in the lab.
"The No. 1 theological driver is that in Genesis 2 we're called to keep and tend God's creation," said Jaydee Hanson, secretary of United Methodist Caretakers of God's Creation, a nonprofit network of churches working on environmental stewardship issues. "That doesn't mean clear-cutting forests, wiping off the top of mountains or advocating pesticide-promoting plants that are genetically engineered."
In the Jewish tradition, kashrut laws spell out what foods Jews can and cannot eat and how the foods must be prepared and eaten.
Pigs are not kosher. Fish with fins and scales are, but shellfish like oysters, clams and crabs are forbidden.
"The essence of keeping kosher is being conscious of our food choices," said Rabbi Elihu Gevirtz of Los Angeles. "We can't make a choice about what we're going to eat if we don't know what's in it.
"Are they putting the genes of pigs into vegetables? I don't know, but that would be a concern."
Gevirtz said that the larger issue is that "the work of creating new beings is really God's work, not that of humans. Humans need to refrain from combining genetic material and creating new species."

Jurrjens was god awful last year but i mean he does have a better career ERA, WHIP, and W-L record than Anibal Sanchez who just got 80 million bucks.
Just shows how important last impressions are.
The drop in velocity was a concern for Jurrjens bu i would take a chance on him, if he can regain some of that back he could be a solid mid rotation guy for us.

Vintage Moneyball. Bring in once great pitchers who can be had for a song since no one wants them anymore and hope that they can still get a few batters out and give you some innings.
If they do, great! If not, no biggie, since you're not trying to win anything anyway.

When patients like Erma Woods enter the Otto Community Health Center, they get the care they need right in their neighborhood school. Woods first came to the clinic in Otto Middle School in Lansing while she was working for the school. She says, "I had a real bad headache and I came down here to see the doctor and my blood pressure was so high, they had to send me to the hospital in an ambulance." She has been grateful for that care ever since and has remained a patient at the clinic although she is no longer employed at the school. Woods says, "It's very important to the community."
Now state budget cuts proposed in K-12 funding could wipe out school-based clinics across the state. Certified Family Nurse Practitioner Pam Markison is concerned for her patients the at Otto Community Health Center. She says, "There are not a lot of people in the area that have cars, they have to take CATA or walk, so if we're not here, it would be really heard for them to get to another provider."
Besides providing close care for adults, the kids benefit as well. They get care without missing school. Sometimes lifesaving information comes from those visits as well. Charge Nurse Dianne Ankley says that they discovered a tumor in a student. The Otto Community Health Center also provides a number of other services including; well child visits, primary care, sports physicals, immunizations, dispensing of daily medications, lab services, health promotion, counseling, referrals, home visits, HIV testing and chronic disease management.
Dr. Jason Forunier of the Ingham County Health Department says those clinics serve a population that really needs the help. He says in a school-based health center, the goal is to keep kids in the classroom. Otherwise, kids may be sent home inappropriately. He says they also help to monitor major chronic diseases like diabetes and asthma. He says if the program was eliminated at the state level as originally proposed, school-based programs would lose about $475,000 in funding in Ingham County alone. He says statewide budget cuts would impact about 250,000 children.
The services currently available at the Otto Community Health Center include residents who are uninsured, have Medicaid,McLaren or PHP, are enrolled in the Ingham Health Plan, are enrolled in the Barry-Eaton Health Plan A or are enrolled in the Mid-Michigan Health Plan with a 48906 zip code.
Phil Wilkinson, Interim Health Administrator for Otto Community Health Center, says "I believe that any time health care access is pinched off by finances, real people are denied care. We provide care at a very reasonable cost compared to folks going to the emergency room."
Erma Woods says, "I think it's unfair to poor people because we really depend on these clinics." She says, "I like coming here and this is a good clinic who cares about their patients and they care about their children, and they are really good people here."
Statewide the proposed cuts make up an estimated loss of 4.7 million dollars in School-Based Health Center funding.

I am searching for information concerning D. T. Ingram, including full name, exact date of birth and death, parents, etc. He is listed on the 1860 Census for Precinct No. 2, Quitman Post Office, Wood County as D. T. Ingram (29 yrs. old). Others listed are Frances E. (F, 27), Lucy A. (F, 5) and Wm. H. (M, 3). On the 1860 Census it is stated that both D. T. and Frances were born in Tennessee; the children were born in Texas. He may also be listed on the 1870 Census, Precinct No. 1, Quitman Post Office, Wood County. There is a listing for a D. T. Ingram (37; age wrong?). Others listed are S.F. (F, 21 – a "new wife"?), L. A. (F, 15), Wm. H. (11; another wrong age?), Lee Anna (F, 9) and M. F. (F, 5). It is again stated that D. T. was from Tennessee, but "S. F." is stated to have been born in Texas. All children are said to have been born in Texas.
On a Texas Death Certificate for W. H. Ingram (born 7 March 1857; died 21 Nov. 1925) it is stated that the father of W. H. Ingram was Tap Ingram. I believe that this is William H. Ingram, the son of D. T. This death certificate was signed by C. C. Cockerell. I believe this is Calvin C. Cockerell, who was the son of Mary Frances "Fannie" Ingram Cockerell (4 March 1864- 26 May 1945) and Gaston Armstrong Cockerell (29 March 1853 – 3 Feb. 1935). Calvin was the nephew of William H. Cockerell and grandson of D. T. Ingram. Mary Frances Ingram Cockerell and Gaston Armstrong Cockerell's first-born son was named Henry Tapling Cockerell. Therefore, the "T." in "D.T." could possibly represent "Tap" or "Tapling".
If you have any information that you think would be helpful, please contact Phil Murry at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Oak Ridge girls soccer team rose to the occasion thanks to the usual suspects Thursday against Bearden. Leading goal scorers Merritt Monger and Peyton McCollum both came away with goals against the Lady Bulldogs and the Oak Ridge backline was stellar as they avoided an 0-2 week with a 2-1 victory.
The Lady SoccerCats (13-1-1) coming off their first loss of the season to Farragut last Tuesday showed strong determination and put the fight to Bearden early.
"Losing wasn't an option, and we just made sure it wasn't going to happen," defender Taylor Hatmaker said.
Oak Ridge broke the scoreless tie in the 17th minute when McCollum found Monger in the center of the 18-yard box. Monger rushed the goalkeeper and banged it into the back of the net. Twenty minutes later, Peyton got her goal.
"We were on tonight," Oak Ridge coach Tom Gorman said. "That was good to see. With only two goals, it's hard to see how effective we were on the attack. We knew after Tuesday night there was a lot of disappointment, and I think we were maybe even questioning ourselves a little bit."
Bearden, however, wouldn't go silently. The Lady Bulldogs scored in the 56th minute as Brenna Day cleaned up an assist from Cassie Smith inside the box on a rush to pull within a goal.
"That was a huge momentum swing," coach Gorman said. "If we get a third goal in the first five minutes of the second half, they probably shut down … but they hung around and got a goal."
Hatmaker, part of the defense corps of Kaci Mitchell and backup Kendall Hull, who was in for an injured Savannah Davis — along with Oak Ridge keeper Jasmine Rizk — had their hands full with Bearden's unconventional attack.
"They counter-attacked with more numbers than we had," Hatmaker said. "Without Savannah playing, it hurt us. Jasmine is just so good. We just know each other and know how each other plays, so that helps."
Added Gorman: "We dodged a bullet. The style of play Bearden has, they are going to press you up top very quickly so you have to be organized and be ready to be physical and win balls in the air. I really give Kendall Hull a lot of credit for stepping in on the outside. She did a great job tonight and that whole back line did a good job."
Davis should return soon to the backfield. The Lady Wildcats travel to Karns at 5 p.m. today in the final District 3-AAA divisional match of the year; and they can earn home-field advantage throughout the tournament with a win.

Miguel Santana, who lived with his parents and younger sister in the 1300 block of Primrose Street, would "speak menace" to the kids in the neighborhood and talked about going to Afghanistan, said Manuel Gomez, who frequently visited family in the Upland neighborhood.
Santana and three others were arrested Friday on suspicion of plotting to join al-Qaida and the Taliban in Afghanistan in hopes of killing Americans.
Santana was charged along with Sohiel Omar Kabir, 34, an Afghanistan native and former resident of Pomona; Ralph Deleon, 23, of Ontario and a native of the Philippines; and Arifeen David Gojali, 21, of Riverside.
THE DEFENDANTSSohiel Omar Kabir
Born in Afghanistan, Kabir is a 34-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen who was a resident of Pomona, according to U.S. Department of Homeland Security and state records. He served in the U.S. Air Force from 2000 to 2001. The FBI learned he departed the U.S. for Germany in December 2011 and entered Afghanistan in July 2012, according to an indictment filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles.
Kabir introduced Miguel Alejandro Santana and Ralph Kenneth Deleon to the radical Islamist doctrine of Anwar al-Awlaki, a deceased al-Qaida leader.
Ralph Kenneth Deleon
Deleon is a 23-year-old permanent resident immigrant who resides in the city of Ontario. He was born in the Phillipines. He converted to Islam in 2010 and began engaging with Kabir and others online in discussions about jihad, including posting radical content to Facebook and expressing extremist views in comments. He is being detained, without bail, at the Central Detention Center in San Bernardino. A prelimijnary hearing has been scheduled for Dec. 3 and an arraignment for Dec. 5 in federal court.
Miguel Alejandro Santana
Santana is a 21-year-old permanent resident immigrant who resides in Upland. He was born in Mexico and has pending citizenship in the U.S.
Santana converted to Islam in 2010 and began engaging with Kabir and others online in discussions about jihad, including posting radical content to Facebook and expressing extremist views in comments.
Santana is being detained at the Central Detention Center in San Bernardino without bail. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Dec. 3 and an arraignment on Dec. 5.
Arifeen David Gojali
Gojali is a 21-year-old U.S. citizen by birth and a resident of Riverside. His attorney, John Aquilina, said Gojali, who is being held without bail at the Central Detention Center in San Bernardino, will appear in U.S. District Court in Riverside on Monday for a bond hearing, in which a judge will determine if bail will be set.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Dec. 3 and an arraignment for Dec. 5.
Like many in the Inland Empire who had interactions with the men, Gomez said he was surprised by the news.
"They were a Mexican family and were hardcore Catholics," he said. "You wouldn't expect that from Catholics and not a Mexican family."
In the southern part of Ontario, neighbors of Deleon said he had recently converted to Islam and was dressing differently.
Enedina Garcia said she didn't really talk to Deleon but they always greeted each other. In recent years, Garcia said she noticed that Deleon exercised a lot and could always be seen running around the neighborhood early in the mornings.
"I'm so surprised, I had no idea. I knew he had recently changed his religion but I didn't think he would do something like this," she said.
Garcia and Dilma Mora said they had no idea why FBI agents on Friday were at the home in the 300 block of Manzanita Court for nearly seven hours.
"I knew it had to be something big," Garcia said.
Mora who lives across the street and a couple houses down the street from the Deleon residence was shocked by the news, but said she had a gut feeling the FBI agents were there for a terrorism-related incident.
At one point, FBI agents, who were wearing gloves, took a couple of boxes from the home and loaded them into a white van, she said.
Garcia said she was gardening when about 10 FBI agents walked past her home to the Deleons' residence.
"I just froze, I didn't know what to do," she said.
Garcia said one of the female FBI agents motioned her to go inside. They remained there for several hours.
Like Garcia, Mora said she had seen some subtle changes in Deleon such as his attire and his circle of friends. There were several times in the past couple of months in which she noted he was hanging out in front of his home with friends who appeared to be Arabic.
"One time I saw him get on his knees and kiss the floor before he got in his car," she said.
The women said the Deleons seem like a nice family but they pretty much kept to themselves.
"I feel bad for the parents. He was a good boy," Garcia said.
The relative calm on the streets that Santana and Deleon lived was similar to the house where Kabir had previously resided.
The alleged mastermind of a terrorism plot didn't spend his years in Chino Hills in the sort of deprivation that are typically seen as the birthplaces for extremism.
For more than a decade, his family apparently lived on sleepy Buckhaven Road, where the houses have three bedrooms and three-car garages.
Kabir apparently lived in the Buckhaven house from 1995 until three years ago, when it was bought by its current owners. The three bedroom, 2.5-bath, 2,066-square-foot Buckhaven home is now worth $460,756, according to Internet real estate site Zillow, and was foreclosed on by its lender.
Before buying a one-way ticket to Kabul in July, Kabir lived in Pomona.
Neighbors on seemingly harmless streets were not alone in their surprise that those they knew were involved in a major terrorism plot.
Gojali often prayed at a downtown Islamic center in Pomona where fellow congregants said they were surprised by the news that the FBI had accused him and the three other Inland Empire men of plotting to kill Americans in Afghanistan.
"It shocked me. I was surprised," said Binisa Mokhtar, while he prepared to drive away from the Islamic center. "All I can do now is pray for him."
Gojali prayed at Masjid al-Sabireen Cham American Muslim Community, a Garey Avenue Islamic center a couple blocks south from the Los Angeles Superior Court house in downtown Pomona.
President Krya Jacques said Gojali prayed at the center for about 10 years, but Gojali did not outwardly show interest in violent jihad.
"I'm surprised. I hope it's not a set-up for him," Jacques said. "I want justice for him. I'm not his side. I'm not on anybody's side."
Gojali previously lived in a south Pomona neighborhood, but neighbors said he and his family left several months ago. Residents said Gojali and others in the home rarely interacted with his neighbors.
"I hardly saw them," said Andrew Salazar, 19.
At Masjid al-Sabireen, Jacques' remarks seemed to indicate that he had few personal interactions with Gojali.
"People come to pray," Jacques said. "Other than that, if they come quietly, they go. That's it."
Masjid al-Sabireen member Gamal Adia said the Pomona Islamic center often provides food and other assistance to area homeless without regard to religion. He also said hundreds of millions of the world's Muslims reject terrorism.
"It's not from our religion," Adia said.
Adia said Gojali presented himself as a helpful member of the Islamic center who was quick to offer favors to others.
Adia did not say whether he expects Gojali to be exonerated or proven guilty, but that anyone who is guilty of terrorism deserves to be punished.
"I respect the law," Adia said.

Hydropower Expansion Qualifies for Federal Tax Credit
PacifiCorp's expansion of its J.C. Boyle hydropower facility on the Klamath River in Oregon is the first to qualify for a new federal tax credit, according to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). On one of its turbines at the facility, Pacificorp upgraded the runner—the part of the turbine that spins—and gained a 2.6 percent increase in efficiency. As a result, the facility is now producing an additional 8,343,000 kilowatt-hours of hydropower per year, which FERC has certified as eligible for a tax credit. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 aimed to encourage upgrades to existing hydropower facilities by allowing a tax credit for the incremental increase in power generation. The credit applies to upgrades placed in service between August 8th, 2005, and January 1st, 2008; the J.C. Boyle upgrade went online on November 8th, 2005. See the FERC press release and decision (PDF 16 KB). Download Adobe Reader.
PPL Corporation may soon follow suit. The company owns nine hydropower facilities on the Penobscot River in Maine, and has agreed to sell three of its dams in exchange for increased power production at three other dams. PPL will add "flashboards" on the top of the three dams, raising the water level by a foot and boosting their power production by about 10,000 megawatt-hours per year, an effort that should be eligible for the tax credit. Meanwhile, the Penobscot River Restoration Trust will have until June 2009 to buy the three other dams for $25 million. The trust members plan to remove two of the dams and bypass a third, improving access to 500 miles of river for the Atlantic salmon and 10 other native species of migratory fishes. See the PPL press release.

Pink is the new gold standard.
The 33-year-old vocalist, who looked like a flash in the pan at the start of her career in the early 2000s, has become the female pop star to beat on the live stage. She's consistently more entertaining in concert than Madonna, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga and most of her other competitors in the big-budget, high-concept touring game.
Pink's last three tours have all been knock-your-socks-off artistic successes that could be blueprints for how to use theatrics, dance routines and other narrative elements, as well as plenty of flash and cash, to entertain big crowds. That certainly includes the current Truth About Love Tour, which touched down for a sold-out show on Monday at HP Pavilion.
The artist is on the road in support of her sixth studio effort, last year's "The Truth About Love," which is her first No. 1 album in the U.S. Thus far, the record has produced three hits, including the worldwide smash "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)."
That's certainly one reason why Pink sold out HP Pavilion (13,600 tickets) in less than 30 minutes. Yet, an even bigger factor may well be Pink's track record as a performer.
You don't walk away from a Pink show shrugging your shoulders and muttering "meh." She works way too hard for that.
The concert kicks off like a TV game show, with a colorful emcee taking the stage and scanning the crowd for someone to compete on "The Truth About Love." But this contest is rigged -- Pink turns out to be the chosen one.
And, boy, is she ever ready to play.
Thus begins the wild ride through Pink's take on "The Truth About Love," where the chapters unfold like acts in a Cirque du Soleil production. She starts out at the party, soaring high above the stage on bungee cords as she belts out the anthem "Raise Your Glass," and then a video clip makes the transition to the next morning, when Pink wakes up from a one-night stand with a guy she barely knows. (She even gets his name wrong in the clip.) Then she leaves the bed to make the "Walk of Shame," which leads to the remorse and regret of "Just Like a Pill."
The vignettes all worked, providing just enough drama and humor to keep the audience connected to the storylines, while rarely overshadowing the songs themselves.
The action was fast and furious, with Pink and her fellow dancers/performers challenging themselves with one acrobatic task after another. The stage set was equally busy, a love-themed onslaught on the senses that resembled an oversized version of what I imagine the wedding chapel inside the Circus Circus casino in Las Vegas must look like.
Still, Pink didn't get lost in the mix. The singer, who now sports short blonde hair and favors outfits that show off her infomercial-worthy ripped abs, is absolutely magnetic onstage. Plus, she found time to interact with the crowd, shaking hands, signing autographs and even reacting to one handmade sign, which called out for "Pink for president."
"You will never have to worry about that," she said, declining the nomination. "I am way too honest."
It was just another moment showing why few, if any, performers deliver better pop spectacles than Pink.

R.C. Sproul on Demons
from Karisa Schlehr Jul 15, 2011 Category: R.C. SproulI think we can take some solace in the thought that it's unlikely we'll ever meet with Satan in our lifetimes. He has bigger fish to fry. He's not going to chase after the little guys. But nevertheless, he has a host of minions, his demons, to do his work for him, and so they may surround us as close as our clothes, and satanic emissaries may besiege us, and we have to be alert to that. But it's unlikely that you and I will encounter the Prince of Darkness himself. I say that because he is not omnipresent. That is an attribute that belongs only to God. Also, he's not omniscient. Satan does not know everything. Satan is a creature, and he is defined by the limits of creatureliness. Keep Reading

The Inseparable Love of God
from R.C. Sproul Mar 09, 2011 Category: R.C. SproulThe source of Christian comfort is not that we are for God or that we are on His side. Rather it is that God is for us and is on our side. To know that God is for us is to know that no one and nothing can ever prevail against us. Paul's question is clearly rhetorical: "If God is for us, who can be against us?" The answer is obvious: nobody. Keep Reading

By getting flu vaccine you can protect yourself from influenza and may also avoid spreading influenza to others. Flu shots are now available at the Madelia Community Hospital and Clinic. There are three simple ways to receive a flu vaccine:
• Flu Shot Clinic – held at the Madelia Community Hospital & Clinic, no appointments necessary. Monday, Nov. 19 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
• Office Visit – The vaccine will be given during a physical or appointments to address health concerns.
• Vaccination-Only Appointment – Call (507) 642-5200 to schedule an appointment. The vaccine will be given by a member of the nursing staff.
Influenza ("flu") is a contagious disease, which can be spread by coughing, sneezing, or nasal secretions. Anyone can get influenza, but rates of infection are highest among children and the elderly. Influenza symptoms include fever/chills, sore throat, muscle aches, fatigue, cough, headache and runny or stuffy nose. Other illnesses can have the same symptoms and are often mistaken for influenza.
Young children, people 65 and older, pregnant women, and people with certain health conditions – such as heart, lung or kidney disease, or a weakened immune system – can get much sicker. Flu can cause high fever and pneumonia, and make existing medical conditions worse. It can cause diarrhea and seizures in children. Each year thousands of people die from influenza and even more require hospitalization.
Take precautions to help protect yourself and others from getting the flu.
• Cover your cough.
• Wash your hands.
• Stay home when you are sick.
• Get vaccinated.
