Oakland police have arrested the suspected gunman they believe shot and killed a man and may have also wounded three other people at the city's popular First Friday event on Friday night.
Police arrested the man Saturday night and declined to give his name, saying his identity would be withheld until the Alameda County District Attorney's office files charges on Monday or Tuesday.
The man is suspected of shooting and killing 18-year-old Kiante Campbell on Telegraph Avenue and wounding three other people who were attending the crowded street festival that happens the first Friday of every month in the city's downtown and Uptown neighborhoods.
Mayor Jean Quan said in a written statement that she was "deeply saddened" by the shooting and that the city was "taking immediate action to assess the security and overall nature of the event," a blocks-long festival of food, vintage cars and music she said has been safe and successful.
Oakland First Friday attracts thousands of people to the area monthly, and is an offshoot of Art Murmur, a gallery walk that launched seven years ago and happens earlier on the same night.
Campbell had first arrived at the event with friends around 9 p.m., and like many festivalgoers, he lingered in the Uptown neighborhood after the event officially came to an end at 10 p.m.
The shooting happened about 10:50 p.m. after a confrontation erupted in the parking lot of a beauty supply business on Telegraph Avenue between 20th and 21st streets, according to police.
Also shot was Campbell's friend, a 17-year-old Oakland boy, and two women who were not part of the confrontation and were hit by stray bullets: a 24-year-old Oakland woman and a 29-year-old San Francisco woman. The teen and the three women were expected to recover.
Quan said the growing popularity of the event led to more private security and police oversight beginning in October, but she said in the statement "we can and must do better."
One community group, the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, said it would hold a vigil for Campbell and against violence at the next First Friday event on March 1.
Others questioned if the organic and mostly unregulated outdoor party, a pride of city residents and leaders, could continue as it has.
In an online post called "The Last First Friday?" that went viral this weekend, the blog 38thNotes.com urged patrons of the event, a "small hipster art movement (that) has since ballooned into a sea of 20,000 people," to take more seriously the broader city's violence and poverty.
"If you want to live in this city, then you have to help us deal with this dilemma," the blog said.

Tom Chorske was selected by the Montreal Canadiens 16th overall in the 1985 NHL Entry Draft. After being drafted, Chorske played two years of NCAA hockey at the University of Minnesota. In 1986-87, he played in 47 games for the Golden Gophers, scoring 20 goals and 42 points.
In 1989-90, Chorske played 14 games with the Montreal Canadiens, scoring three goals and an assist. After another season in Montreal, he joined the New Jersey Devils, playing 76 games in 1991-92, scoring 19 goals and 36 points. In 1993-94, he had his finest offensive production, scoring 21 goals and 41 points but it was the following season which was by far the most satisfying for Chorske, his teammates and fans of the Devils. After several years of being near the top of the NHL, the Devils finally put it all together in the spring of 1995, defeating the Detroit Red Wings in four straight games in the Stanley Cup finals.
Chorske's best memories stem from his day of having the Cup back in Minneapolis, to show all the people of the city. Chorske's Stanley Cup tour also included a stop at a local restaurant where his parents would go to watch the Devils play on satellite television.
In 1995-96, Chorske joined the Ottawa Senators where he played for two years before heading to New York to suit up for the Islanders. During the 1998-99 season, he was sent to the Washington Capitals for 17 games before finally ending up in Calgary. In 1999-2000, Chorske played 33 games with the Pittsburgh Penguins, his final stop in the NHL. In 2000-01, he appeared in 78 games for the Houston Aeros of the now defunct IHL, scoring 27 goals and 52 points. Minnesota High School - Player of the Year (1985)WCHA First All-Star Team (1989)

24 May 2011
Throughout my childhood summers, my family loved a quick roadtrip to Las Vegas. They would book one room where we'd pack it up like raccoons. And like everyone there, my mom dreamed of winning big. I never cared for it but it's grown on me since. I especially look forward to the drive. It's refreshing to sneak away from the city to soak in the raw desert.
Vegas is a strange place filled with even stranger people. Everyone has no concept of time or money. It's crazy. We went for Kylie Minogue's concert. It was the last leg on her US tour and she was spectacular! I'm still recovering from all the dancing and singing. I have one snapshot of Kylie doing her thang. Vegas suits her perfectly so I hope she returns.

These photos are stunning. The desert is so far, she seems so infinite, so rough and yet fascinating. And I love the picture with the gas pump - typical America, right?ReplyDelete
In Las Vegas, I probably would want to play again for money. Once to win the jackpot:). That would be terrific. Imagine how you could make a lot of traveling with so much money!
The concert photo is very great.
Great pics as always, but especially the one with the air/water pump, LOVE IT!!ReplyDelete
Love that drive from L.A to Vegas~dreamy and relaxing...and then "wow" the jewel in the desert!ReplyDelete
From here in Phx I take 93 to 40 up by Kingman and then cross over the river at Laughland. (scared of heights/no Hoover dam new bridge for me)
The drive is like time stood still-ish. Great for photos.
Glad Kylie was amazing!

Sorry in advance, this is hard to describe.
I find that I end up having many files open with the same name, but some don't have the latest drawing modifications.
I often have different files open and switch back and forth between them. The problem is if I have a file called file1, I will regularly save this file. Later when I'm closing windows I'll close file1 and other files but then earlier versions of file1 appear and I start freaking out thinking that I've lost the last 2 hours work!
Why is this happening, and is there a way of preventing it?

Cancer Health Center
From Bad to Better: U.S. Cancer Rates Continue to Drop
Jan. 4, 2012 -- Cancer death rates for men and women in the U.S. kept dropping through 2008, continuing a nearly 20-year-long trend.
According to a new report from the American Cancer Society, overall death rates have declined for both sexes and nearly every racial and ethnic group. The exception was American Indians/Alaska Natives, whose rates have remained steady.
As a result, more than 1 million Americans who would have been expected to die from cancer have not.
Despite the good news, experts cautioned against complacency.
Cancer is still the second-leading cause of death in the U.S. behind heart disease. About half of men and 1 in 3 women will develop cancer during their lifetimes.
"This is not an acceptable decrease. This is something that needs a lot more work," says Raymond DuBois Jr., MD, PhD, provost and executive vice president of the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. "We definitely need to work on getting better treatments and much more sophisticated early detection approaches."
What's Behind the Decline
The declines noted in the report were largely driven by reductions in lung cancers among men and breast cancers in women.
Reductions in lung cancer deaths were responsible for about 40% of the total drop for men. For women, breast cancer accounted for about 34% of the total decrease.
Lung cancer deaths are down in large part because fewer Americans are smoking.
The report says breast cancer deaths are down because many women have stopped using hormone replacement therapy. Earlier detection and better breast cancer treatments have also improved survival.
"Most of the progress in cancer has been incremental," says Michael V. Seiden, MD, PhD, president and CEO of Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia. "There are more and more Americans who have gotten a little farther away from their last cigarette. The colonoscopy screening rates are nowhere where they should be, but they are slowly creeping up. The mammography screening rates are better as compared to a decade ago."

The work done by the Continental Divide Land Trust can be seen throughout Summit County - you just might not realize that you're looking at it. A private, non-government organization, CDLT works to preserve open space and natural land in Summit County through preservation agreements, stewardship and public education.CDLT is a nonprofit organization that has been around since 1994, when a group of residents got together with the aim of conserving the natural area around the county from development. One of the main ways it does this is through stewardship of conservation easements.A conservation easement is when a landowner, whether a private individual or an entity such as a town or county government, sells or transfers over developmental rights to a qualified organization, such as CDLT. "The land stays under private ownership of that particular land owner, but they've given up certain of their property rights - their ability to further subdivide the property or mine it or commercial timber it," said CDLT executive director Leigh Girvin. "Each property's different, so each property has different conservation values."In order to become a conservation easement, the land in question must demonstrate "significant conservation values," which CDLT helps to determine based on rules laid out by the Internal Revenue Service. The IRS is involved because of the varied tax benefits available to a landowner who grants a conservation easement.Scenic views and preservation of surrounding natural beauty are of high consideration."If we don't protect the beauty and the natural resources of our county and this beautiful place that we live, then why will other people want to come here?" said Howard Carver, CDLT board president and full-time Silverthorne resident. "So it's not just the aesthetics, but I think there's an economic element to what we do in that if we don't keep this as a viable good place for people to come, then how do people that live here prosper?"Another factor is wildlife habitat and wildlife migration corridors, whether for large animals like moose and elk or smaller creatures like foxes, weasels, birds and insects. This undeveloped, natural land also provides a place for natural vegetation to grow, such as wildflowers. "Natural land is where flowers grow that the pollinators need, it's where water is absorbed that replenishes our aquifers, it's where trees grow that provide oxygen that we breathe. We need natural land," Girvin said. CDLT is currently in charge of 14 easements, totaling 2,600 acres. Some of the easements allow public access with trails, while others are on private land and closed to the public. However, each of the easements, whether private or public, provides a benefit to everyone, said Girvin, whether by bolstering wildlife through habitat preservation or by offering beautiful scenic views, among others.
Another important focus of CDLT is providing education to landowners and the community at large about the tools, options and reasons for conserving natural land and open space.In the past, CDLT has offered professional education courses on conservation easements. One class focused on water rights, which are sometimes a part of the responsibility handed over to CDLT with an easement. Another educational component CDLT provides is walking tours of easements."It's a very important part of our mission," Girvin said, of education. "People aren't going to care about protecting open space and natural lands if they don't know about them. So one of the things that we do is we offer tours to connect people to the land."The next tour, scheduled for Saturday, will take interested parties around the Cobb and Ebert Placer, an easement east of Breckenridge and part of the Golden Horseshoe area. CDLT has determined that it contains the densest concentration of natural resource value within the area."It's intact," Girvin said. "It's a wetland (with) beaver ponds, willows. It's what the French Gulch Valley looked like before the dredge boats came through and destroyed everything. So it helps us re-create, in our mind, what that whole valley might have been like."Anyone can join the tour and dogs on a leash are welcome. After this, the next tour is planned for March 23 at Iron Springs, an area near Summit High School.
Like any organization, CDLT faces obstacles that make it difficult to attain its conservation goals. The main one, according to Girvin, is lack of resources."There are never enough resources for land conservation. Whether it's land that you want to buy to protect it because it has some important natural quality, or to be able to hire additional staff because you want to engage youth, or you want to get involved in bird habitat, or whatever," she said.According to Girvin, CDLT is supported entirely by private donations. The events and classes they sponsor help bring in some money but most of it comes from the generosity of individuals. Another obstacle faced is the pace of development in Summit County. Open spaces are constantly in competition with housing and commercial developments, roads or other related expansions. The Iron Springs easement, for example, is facing one such challenge, in which the Colorado Department of Transportation has expressed interest in Highway 9 exchanging places with the recpath that runs through the middle of the easement. This development is still in the negotiating stage, with nothing yet confirmed and tentative plans for a public open house in the summer, but Girvin said that a positive outcome seems possible. "It's looking like it's going to be able to move forward as a win-win, for the community and the open space and the recreation experience," she said.
To really see the impact of the work of CDLT, one has to know where to look. The organization does not post any signs at its conservation sites or easements, so there is no man-made aspect of any kind to indicate that a particular part of land is protected by the CDLT."One of the challenges about our work is that it's what you don't see. It's what isn't there," Girvin said. She gives the example of an easement in Frisco near the reservoir and Water Dance. "You don't see condos, because they're not going to be there. You see the wetlands, you see the reservoir. That's an impact of our work."

The glucose urine test measures the amount of sugar (glucose) in a urine sample. The presence of glucose in the urine is called glycosuria or glucosuria.
Glucose level can also be measured using a blood test or a cerebrospinal fluid test.
Urine sugar test; Urine glucose test; Glucosuria test; Glycosuria test
After you provide a urine sample, it is tested right away. The health care provider uses a dipstick made with a color-sensitive pad. The color the dipstick changes to tell the provider the level of glucose in your urine.
If needed, the health care provider may ask you to collect your urine at home over 24 hours. Your provider will tell you how to do this. Follow instructions exactly so that the results are accurate.
Certain medicines can change the result of this test. Before the test, tell your health care provider which medicines you are taking. Do not stop taking any medicine before talking to your provider.
The test involves only normal urination. There is no discomfort.
This test was commonly used to test for and monitor diabetes in the past. Now, blood tests to measure glucose level in the blood are easy to do and used instead of the glucose urine test.
The glucose urine test may be ordered when the doctor suspects renal glycosuria. This is a rare condition in which glucose is released from the kidneys into the urine, even when blood glucose level is normal.
Glucose is not usually found in urine. If it is, further testing is needed.
Normal glucose range in urine: 0 - 0.8 mmol/l (0 - 15 mg/dL)
The examples above are common measurements for results of these tests. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
Higher than normal levels of glucose may occur with:
There are no risks with this test.

South Carolina's governor made a stop in opponent Tommy Moore's backyard today.
Mark Sanford rolled through North Augusta this morning for some last minute campaigning, and his visit brought mixed reactions.
Sanford rode in on a big bus filled with family.
"It's fairly festive as you can imagine...that many kids jammed in the back having a good time," he said.
The kids weren't traveling the Palmetto State for a field trip; they were helping family member and South Carolina governor Mark Sanford with some last minute campaigning. This morning, they rolled into North Augusta's Gary's Hamburgers.
Not everyone was excited about the visit.
"This is definitely not Sanford territory far as I'm concerned," said Bill Griffin. "If I needed help Tommy Moore would help me, always has. We're mighty proud and happy for him here and we feel like he's got a chance to be victorious."
But many Sanford supporters believe he also has a chance to be victorious, even here in Aiken County.
"I would love to see him carry Aiken County, Tommy Moore's home county," said Clifford Coleman.
"We're a big supporter of all Republican candidates but especially our governor. We think he's doing a good job," said Frank Maurer.
"We think he's a very good governor," said Donald Geckeler. "He's done a good job. He's a man of his word, I believe."
Gov. Sanford says he's also a man for change in South Carolina.
"The bigger changes in any governorship simply take time, and we've spent a lot of time over the last couple years plowing fields and planting fields, and now we hope to harvest a number of those," he said.
But giving the governor four more years to harvest is not what everyone wants.
"Tommy Moore's done more for me than Sanford has," said one Moore supporter.
And one Sanford supporter says he has a plan if Tommy Moore does win on Tuesday.
"I may move to Georgia...and then if Perdue loses I don't know where I'll move to!"
Tommy Moore also did some campaigning today.
He traveled to Berkley and Waterboro and attended the South Carolina State Homecoming Game and USC game in Columbia.

LAKEWOOD - FirstBank Holding Company, the Lakewood-based holding company for the largest locally owned banking organization in Colorado, has announced the results of its annual community investment program. In 2012, FirstBank contributed cash donations totaling more than $4.6 million to more than 1,000 nonprofit organizations across the state.
-FirstBank has donated more than $40 million to area nonprofits since 2000, making it the most charitable financial institution in Colorado and among the five most charitable corporations in the state by annual cash donations, according to the most recent Denver Business Journal "Giving Guide."
"Community involvement has been a hallmark of this company," said John A. Ikard, CEO of FirstBank Holding Company. "We believe philanthropy benefits not only the individuals touched by these organizations, but it also contributes to creating a healthy business climate and economy. Supporting local residents and organizations is just the right thing to do and it will remain among our top priorities."
A recent staple in FirstBank's annual giving program is Colorado Gives Day, a one-day online initiative aimed at increasing philanthropy in Colorado. Since the effort's inception in 2010, FirstBank has been the lead sponsor, donating $1.4 million over the last three years, including $600,000 in 2012. The initiative has raised more than $35 million for Colorado nonprofits. In addition to Colorado Gives Day, FirstBank supports a variety of organizations and initiatives in Colorado with a focus on nonprofit organizations that promote affordable housing, education and economic development.
EDWARDS - Can Do Multiple Sclerosis's sound fiscal management practices and commitment to accountability and transparency has earned it a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator, America's largest independent charity evaluator. This is the sixth consecutive year that Can Do MS has earned this top distinction.
"Only 3 percent of charities we rate have received at least six consecutive 4-star evaluations, indicating that Can Do MS outperforms most other charities in America," said Ken Berger, President and CEO of Charity Navigator. "Can Do MS's supporters should feel much more confident that their hard-earned dollars are being used efficiently and responsibly when it acquires such a high rating."
"We are honored to receive this 4-star rating for our philanthropic efforts. Over 80 percent of the dollars we receive are committed to our programs and services," said Heidi A. Heltzel, President and CEO of Can Do MS. "Over the years, we have gone to great lengths to meet our fiscal responsibility, and we are pleased Charity Navigator has recognized our diligence in adhering to strict financial accountability. We will strive to maintain the high standards set forth by Charity Navigator, and continue to earn the trust and respect of our donors"
Since 2002, Charity Navigator has awarded only the most fiscally responsible organizations a 4-star rating. In 2011, Charity Navigator added a second dimension of "Accountability and Transparency" to its rating methodology, and now reviews 17 governance and ethical practices as well as measures of openness, providing information on its website for each of the charities it evaluates.

VAIL - Daric Harvey, a commander with the Town of Vail police department for the past 10 months, has been named a member of the personnel committee on the board of directors for the valley's Bright Future Foundation, a nonprofit that supports individuals and families affected by domestic violence and abuse.
Harvey replaces Joe Ribeiro, who moved to Manitou Springs earlier this year. Harvey was an active advocate of a similar organization in Orlando, Fla. called, "Help Now."
"I think partnerships between law enforcement and the communities are critical for building community success," Harvey said. "BBF's goal is to foster and maintain a relationship between advocates of victims of domestic abuse and law enforcement that supports the victim and helps them transition to a healthy and stable environment."
"Victims might need shelter, child care or financial assistance as they work back to fully functioning in the community. Often times, counseling is part of it. And certainly, focus on prevention and law enforcement are elements of the continuum," Harvey explained. "I look forward to doing what I can to improve on the already great job that BFF does."
Another law enforcement program Harvey strongly supports is Crime Stoppers, which allows citizens to help solve crimes by calling anonymously to law enforcement. Should their tips or leads result in an arrest, they may qualify for financial rewards.
He is also actively involved in the Police Explorer program which allows kids, ages 14 - 21 to participate in police activities as understudies. They work on defensive driving, watch law enforcement activities, including arrests, and are able to volunteer within the community.
"This program, like BFF, is meant to serve in building bridges within the community," Harvey explained. "The program involves partnerships between the law enforcement agencies in Eagle, Avon and Vail."

Vt. court hearing for couple in teacher killing
Defense asks to move trial
The attorney for a Vermont man charged along with his wife in the killing of a popular St. Johnsbury teacher says it's likely he'll ask that the trial be moved out of Caledonia County.
Defense attorney Dan Maguire made the comment in court Thursday as part of a status conference on the pending trial of Allen and Patricia Prue.
The Prues are charged with luring Melissa Jenkins from her Danville home on March 25, 2012, beating and strangling her and dumping her body in the Connecticut River.
Thirty-one-year-old Allen Prue has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder. Thirty-four-year-old Patricia Prue pleaded not guilty to a charge of aggravated murder.
Maguire said he could be ready for trial by October.

Neighbors are confronting the city on a construction project long overdue, right off one of Augusta's busiest stretches.
When improvement plans left the drawing board, they say they were left out altogether.
Warren Road is a busy cut-through right off Washington Road, and currently the site of a major road construction project.
Now some homeowners want to know why they are being left out of the city's original plans.
To some, construction on Warren Road just seems like a never-ending project. It started three years ago and was later placed on hold. Now things are expected to wrap up in September.
Only on 12, neighbors on one block of the road are asking: what about us?
"This road has been torn up like this for 15 months," says homeowner John Cannon.
On the same road, just yards away, neighbors are wondering why it hasn't begun.
"We just have been brushed off like we don't even exist," says homeowner Suzanne Jones.
Suzanne and Mike Jones are the voice of many neighbors on the 400 block of Warren Road, questioning why their end of the road was not included in the city's multi-million dollar construction project. Most of their neighbors will have newly paved streets and sidewalks in front of their homes, but as for the Joneses...
"We have ditches, and they are unsafe," Suzanne says.
When this road construction project started, it was to include all of Warren Road...but the new sidewalk cuts off in the middle of someone's yard, meaning the rest of the neighbors are left out.
And city leaders can't tell us why.
"I don't know why it was not included in the engineering scope of the work, but it wasn't for some reason," says District 7 Commissioner Jerry Brigham.
The Joneses say they've been told all kinds of things, including the city ran out of concrete and just decided to stop. So we called the man in charge: Augusta Engineering Director Abie Ladson.
He came by to meet with us, but ultimately he didn't have an answer either.
"But why?" Suzanne asked him. "It's a 3 letter word. Why?"
"I can't explain why, and why it didn't continue to King's Chapel Road," Ladson said.
"It sounds like they didn't do their homework before they started the job," says Suzanne.
Ladson did say the Augusta Commission is looking into the issue and searching for funds to extend the project. That's something these homeowners will make sure they do.
"I'm like a Georgia Bulldog," Mike Jones says. "I'm going to bite and bite until something gets done."
The engineering director says it will cost $800,000 to extend the project to the 400 block...and this comes at the same time as they are being asked to cut their budget by 15 percent.
News 12 also tried to reach Augusta's former engineering director, Teresa Smith.
She was criticized by some commissioners for the delays on this project.
Ms. Smith could not be reached for comment.

Only about 5 percent of chocolate sold worldwide is certified to be free of exploitative child labor.
Still struggling to find that perfect Valentine's Day gift for your sweetheart?
Chocolates are a favorite standby to show affection. But could those delicious treats be produced using exploitative child labor?
Cheryl Hotchkiss, manager of World Vision's End Child Slavery campaign in Canada, says the answer is "yes."
"The bitter truth is that children are doing dirty, dangerous, and degrading work in the chocolate industry," she says.
"They get hurt swinging machetes to cut down cacao pods. They get sick from pesticides and toil in extreme heat with little pay, poor nutrition, and no healthcare. They're separated from their families, and can even be abused by employers," she says.
Most large chocolate companies have declared they will use only ethically produced cocoa by 2020. But so far, only about 5 percent of chocolate sold worldwide is certified to be free of exploitative child labor.
World Vision wants companies to work more closely with third-party certification organizations, such as Fair Trade USA, to establish that their chocolate supply chains meet ethical standards.
The thought of eating chocolate need not make you feel sick. Search the web for chocolatiers that meet fair-trade standards.
Here's a list of quality chocolate, readily available online or in stores, that has Fair Trade USA's seal of approval. They can be enjoyed with a clear conscience.
Pray for children around the world who are being harmed by child labor practices. Pray that they would be freed from exploitation and be able to grow and thrive in a safe, nurturing environment.
Search for additional child-labor free chocolate producers by visiting the Fair Trade USA site.
Call your congressional representative. Urge him or her to support the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act so that the United States can remain a leader in the fight against human trafficking. Millions of children are trafficked for child labor and exploitation each year.
Make a one-time donation to help children in crisis. You can help provide children with the support they need to escape exploitation, through interventions like medical care, nutritious food, counseling, access to education, and more.

- Binding: Paperback & Ebook
- Era: 21st Century
- Number of Pages: 320
- Subject: Veterans
- Date Available: September 2012
Nearly two million soldiers, sailors, marines, and airmen have been deployed in recent conflicts. When the Warrior Returns addresses the practical and psychological needs of the families of these transitioning service members and provides a convenient list of key resources. Combining the knowledge of fifty experts, the book provides answers to questions about the post-deployment transition process, how it affects families, and how family members can help their service members and themselves navigate the transition successfully as a family. These experts provide straightforward answers to questions about the transition process and how it impacts the warrior and their children. A one-stop source of information filled with useful advice, this book is unequalled.
The book features a foreword by Patty Shinseki and is published in cooperation with the Association of the United States Army.
Nathan D. Ainspan, a psychologist with the U.S. Army, has written and spoken extensively on issues impacting wounded and transitioning service members. Walter E. Penk is a widely published psychologist who served as a psychologist with the Department of Veterans Affairs for five decades. He specializes in rehabilitation and PTSD. He is on the faculty at Texas A&M College of Medicine.
Advance Praise for When the Warrior Returns
"When the Warrior Returns: Making the Transition at Home is an excellent overview of the issues and any warrior or family may face as the warrior returns home. The book is written in a straight forward and realistic manner addressing the challenges these families face including many practical tips and recommendations. I would strongly recommend this book to families and practitioners alike as it clearly outlines the challenges, makes realistic recommendations and provides numerous valuable resources. Should be a part of every military or VA practitioner's library."
—David L. Kennedy, LCSW, CAPT, MSC, USN (Ret.)
"When the Warrior Returns is a unique, easy-to-use, comprehensive, and tightly edited resource for military family members—as well as an excellent single-source complementary text for health care professionals who need to garner additional skills and exclusive insights that might not otherwise be so readily attainable, detailed, or thorough. The book's collaborative and full spectrum of up-to-date topics, researched and authored by an array of experts—a well-done virtual 'E Pluribus Unum' approach—cannot be afforded justice by a single endorsement or review. This complete work will become a definitive 'Best Practices' foundation guide for all individuals in any relationships or positions who wish to render the utmost professional service and personal support to those who need it—and to those who deserve it—the most."
—Jon M. Corey, U.S. Army combat veteran, university professor, contributing editor, Leadership Moments: Turning Points That Changed Lives and Organizations [8]
"Encompassing, lots of food for thought, covers a wide range of topics. This is a great handbook with many excellent resources, especially for those newer to the military lifestyle."
—Theresa D. Lupcho, Military Clinical Psychologist, Fort Benning, Georgia

Ever notice how there's no longer such thing as beige cords with the ripples? I remember that shit used to be hot around 94-97, I used to rock 2 pairs light beige, baggy skater style... I wish I still had them. I'd bring them back in style. But seriously try to find them in a store, they don't exist... Just something I've noticed.

This boat was made for cruising. Who wouldn't take this Bertram 410 most anywhere?
We are a little tired of hearing about "fishability" in a convertible. The fact is that all of the builders are doing a fine job on this score and they are all doing about the same thing. If someone comes up with a good new idea, the rest of the builders have it copied by the next boat show. "Fishability" in a convertible is not the issue – but "Cruisability" is.
The gin-clear waters of the Bahamas and other islands have launched many a dream. But to get there, one must cross some serious blue water. No problem, says Bertram.
Bertram: The Trend is Your Friend
All of the sportfishing magazines not withstanding, every boat builder knows that the trend the last few years has been toward cruising. Even the fishiest boat builders tell us that about half of the people buying most brands of convertibles are buying them mainly for cruising with a little casual fishing thrown in. We have always liked convertibles for cruising (and owned them) because they are usually excellent sea boats.
What makes the Bertram 410 so capable offshore? First, 40 years ago Bertram claimed blue water as its domain and it has never given it up as the company's primary focus. If a Bertram can't take good care of you in snotty conditions, then you shouldn't be out there in anything.
Second, because being a rugged, fast, offshore boat is its "reason for being," Bertram engineers make sure that their boats are strongly built. This is a tradition started by Lee Dana, Bertram's chief engineer back in the 1970s. He is a crusty, no non-sense type of guy who never let the pantywaists in the marketing department push him around with the flavor of the month. He built them strong no matter how much it cost or how long it took.
The Bertram 410 has the traditional Bertram styling, updated by Zuccon International in Italy.
The Bertram-Ferretti Group design and engineering departments with their CAD-CAM software, test tanks, 3-D modeling are a lot more sophisticated than was Dana and his trusty slide rule, but their end goal remains the same. That is why the 410's hull is solid fiberglass under the waterline. That is why the Bertram 410 is on the heavy side eventhough the company uses SOTA core materials in the hull above the waterline and in the superstructure and decking throughout the boat.
Where's the Beef?
Not only is the Bertram 410 heavier than its big brand name competitors – it is from 21% to 29% heavier than its convertible peers! That's just for openers, folks. You know those brands building hard top express cruisers? Some look pretty salty, right? The Bertram 410 is 44% heavier than one of the leading brands that is slightly longer.
We like the cabinets just below the overhead port and starboard. A second row of them with a lip on top would make this cabin even more attractive and provide more storage. Will a washer/dryer combo fit under that bed?
Then we come to large express cruisers built by companies that got their start in sportboats – there the Bertram 410 is 52% heavier than one of the leading brand's sedans in the same size range. This is a huge difference, and perhaps it explains why some of our friends are reluctant to punch too far out in the briny.
Price per Pound
We called the Bertram factory and asked for the MSRP for the Bertram 410. We were told that it did not have an MSRP and that we'd have to call a dealer to find out. Depending on when the 410 was built, the engines and equipment, it seems that they sell for from about $800k to $1 million. Most dealers were reluctant to talk "street prices" unless we came in. No wonder. At first blush, their boats seem pricey.
We'd like to see rails on the stove top and fiddles on the counter.
Clearly the Bertram 410 is in a class of its own. Because the boat is from 8,000 lbs. (3,636 kgs.) to 15,000 lbs. (6,818 kgs.) heavier than virtually all 42' to 45' expresses, sedans or convertibles on the market, there is a lot more material – and expense – built into the Bertram 410 than other boats on the market in the same size range. Uninformed buyers comparing just length and price (as most buyers mistakenly do) will come to the conclusion that the Bertram 410 is way over priced, when in fact, it is just the opposite.
Our rule of thumb when comparing boat prices is to divide the cost of the boat by its displacement and then compare. When there is a big discrepancy, we ask why? At $1 million, the Bertram 410 comes out to $23.14 per lb. Compare that to the sportboat on steroids and you'll find out which is the more expensive boat. Even more important, you won't be afraid to take your 410 offshore because you know you have a solid boat under your feet.
Hemingway on his flying bridge.
The Flying Bridge
Once upon a time cruising boats did not have flying bridges, and neither did fishing boats. They were all hard tops. Then in the 1940s Ernest Hemingway jury-rigged a steering wheel on his beloved Pilar and the world took notice. Being a writer and not an engineer, Hemingway didn't know all of the reasons why steering from a hard top was a bad idea. It wasn't long until others realized what a good idea it was because the added height made it easier to spot fish on the surface.
This is a near-perfect flying bridge arrangement in a 41-footer, in our opinion. It seats 7 people comfortably and has good visibility to the cockpit and the bow, plus is a comfortable entertaining venue.
We like a flying bridge in a cruising boat for several reasons—
First, visibility is far better from a flying bridge. At anything above idle, a skipper needs to have good 360-degree visibility to see what is around his/her boat – other vessels, rocks, floating logs, kayakers, etc. All of these things are far easier to see from a flying bridge.
Second, by moving the helm from the salon to the flying bridge more space is available below for the galley, a settee, more comfortable seating and much more storage.
Third, it is great being out in the wind and the weather. With the addition of a canvass top and some isinglass you can turn the flying bridge into an all-weather helm station. With seating for seven on the Bertram 410 on the bridge you can have all of your friends up enjoying the sights together. The view is unbeatable!
Fourth, it is easier to dock a boat in a tight shlip from a flying bridge.
The sofa can make up into a sleeper. Note the cabinets across the front instead of a windshield. There is also a lower helm option.
Fifth, flying bridges are a low-cost way of adding useable living space to a boat. In our book, the more "venues" for guests to hang out in a boat the better.
Sixth, if you have ever steered an express cruiser in really sloppy conditions with the wind just off the bow or abeam you know how difficult visibility can be. Worse yet, try punching through short 6' to 8' stuff going to windward and you can have green water washing your windshield. A flying bridge puts you high and above most of what the wind and sea kick ups so you have better visibility. It gives you a different and much more realistic perspective of the conditions you are in.
The Bertram 410 has a step-down galley and a step-up settee. Six people can be comfortably seated at two tables for dinner. The cockpit is a great place for cocktail parties. Set up tapas and drinks on the bait-prep and refer console. Get rid of the fighting chair and put a table there and seating around the perimeter.
The Salon/Galley
The Bertram 410 has an "L"-shaped sofa for hanging out and socializing. It can be made into another bunk at night if the grandkids are aboard. The settee is a great place for breakfast and lunch. The set-up also works for more formal dinners but at two tables. We like it – just add candles.
The galley area is about as big as you'll find on any boat this size. Look at the deck space! Because it is a step-down there is a lot of head room, making the space seem even bigger. In this arrangement there are no forward windows which means there is plenty of cabinet space for all manner of things.
The Bertram 410 has two en suite staterooms. The master head has a separate shower stall. Most important, this is a 41-footer with full head room in the guest cabin.
Bertram has done a clever job of shoe-horning two cabins and two heads into a relatively small space. The master has two hanging lockers and a large head. Note that the toilet and sink can be used at the same time in both heads, which is a sign of thoughtful design and helps speed a couple on their way when time is short getting going in the morning or rushing to cocktails at night.
The guest stateroom is tight and the outboard bunk is narrow when in the twin configuration, nevertheless the cabin has full standing headroom which is something you won't find in this size range in the Euro-designed expresses. We'd ask Bertram about putting over and under bunks here.
What we don't see is a washer/dryer, something that is not typically found in this size boat. Serious cruising types might want to talk to Bertram about finding a place for a front-loading washer/dryer combo someplace aboard.
Blow out the settee and go for the lower helm option is one option. Of course you lose the forward cabinets. We'd make the backrest on the jump seat in the foreground slide back and forth so the skipper can have a companion helping when under way.
We have not tested this Bertram so we cannot attest to its speeds, fuel consumption and boat handling. Because the boat is heavy and a semi-deep-V it will take some horsepower to move her fast. Speed is a sensitive subject with Bertram techs (one once hung up on us when we were discussing the subject with him) because consumers tend to compare a Bertram's speed with its light-weight competitors, many of which have flatter bottoms.
But when cruising, whether a boat goes 27 knots or 29 knots WOT makes little difference; chances are the boat will be run at 20 knots or less in any case. And when it comes to rough water, the Bertram 410 will go faster than most other boats because of her bottom shape and rugged construction, if that is what you want to do.
An Educated Consumer...
As the late Sy Syms used to say in his TV commercials, "An educated consumer is our best customer." And that holds true for boats as well as men's suits. The Bertram 410 is simply in a class by herself, in our opinion. She is a veritable Abrams tank on the water. For people who really want to go somewhere and not worry too much about the weather, Bertram has a 41-footer that they can appreciate.
On the other hand, for people who are just going to dart from marina to waterside bistro and back again across the sound, better save your money for the Lobster Oscars and mojitos.

Regents scandal grows uglier
There is more bad news for Connecticut's scandal-plagued Board of Regents for Higher Education, which oversees the state universities, the Community College System and Charter Oak State College. In October, board President Robert A. Kennedy resigned when it emerged he unilaterally approved lavish pay increases for 21 board employees. The next day, Executive Vice President Michael Meotti also resigned. Mr. Meotti was the recipient of one of the most generous raises ($48,000) and was dogged by controversy over a supposed buyout offer to community-college presidents.

EDWARDS - In racking up a 15-0 regular-season record, Battle Mountain soccer had never trailed in a game.
In Round 1 of the 4A state playoffs Thursday, the No. 6 Huskies fell behind Greeley Central, 1-0, during the first minute of the game.
Battle Mountain didn't get on the board until the 49th minute, but got cranking for three second-half goals and a 3-1 win over the visiting Wildcats. The Huskies host No. 11 Pueblo Centennial, 1-0 winners over Longmont Thursday, on Saturday at 4 p.m.
"If feels awesome," said senior Diego Rodriguez, who had Battle Mountain's first equalizer of the year. "I don't think there's words to describe the feeling to come from behind."
"That was the test," Huskies coach David Cope said. "We've talked about it this week. That was the advantage of this draw. At some point, we would be forced to play from behind. We didn't know when that was going to happen."
Likely not in the very first minute of the playoffs.
While acknowledging that the Huskies could trail again, Cope joked, "We don't plan on allowing another goal in the first minute."
The Huskies had outscored their opponents 83-8 this fall, so it was quite the surprise that Greeley Central's Christian McBee struck on a free kick just after kickoff.
"It was very exciting," Wildcats coach Sean Miller said. "I was just hoping we could carry that momentum and score a few more. That's soccer."
While the Greeley Central was smelling upset, the Huskies were battling nerves.
"That was the first time we looked visibly out of sorts," Cope said. "We were miscuing on restarts and unable to keep the ball. Guys that usually win 1-on-1 duels were losing them. That's natural. Coming into the playoffs, when you're the higher seed, and, all of a sudden, when you're behind, there's a real feeling of, 'Is this going to end here?'"
Battle Mountain pressed the attack, possessed the ball, but couldn't crack Wildcats goalie Antonio Chairez-Salazar.
At halftime, the Huskies hashed out that shots from the outside or floating crosses weren't doing the trick. They had to get to end line and cut to the net.
As well as Chairez-Salazar, a junior and three-year starter for the Wildcats, played, the first goal he allowed was unfortunate. Roberto Diaz feathered a pass to Rodriguez in front of the goal mouth.
Rodriguez shot and thought he didn't score.
"I was like, 'Why didn't I score?' I saw Roberto celebrating and I knew it was a goal," Rodriguez said. "He was great goalie."
The shot went right through Chairez-Salazar's legs, and Battle Mountain was on the board.
"A goal is a goal," said senior David Suarez, who will also be running at the state cross-country meet on Saturday. "We started getting excited. In our heads, it was, 'We've got this game. That's one. We can score more.'"
And they did.
Diaz got his second assist in the 68th minute, feeding Alex Trujillo. Four minutes later, it was Rodriguez to Suarez, and the Huskies were advancing to Saturday's second round.
"This is the first time we qualified for state in a few years," Miller said. "They've come a long way. I'm proud of them. (Battle Mountain)'s undefeated for a reason. They proved it today."
Just for kicks
Want snow? Schedule a Battle Mountain soccer playoff game. Thursday marked the fourth year in a row that it's snowed for the first round of the soccer playoffs here. In 2009, the Huskies lost in a whiteout to Evergreen. In 2010 and 2011, Battle Mountain beat Green Mountain and Lewis-Palmer, respectively, after a day's delay because of snow. ... There were no upsets in the first round, but there were a lot of tight games. No. 31 Summit fell to No. 2 Broomfield, 2-1. Not that anyone in Battle Mountain's camp would be watching, but No. 3 Evergreen got by No. 30 Coronado, 1-0. In the region, Montrose, No. 13, did plow No. 20, Pueblo West, 5-0. Battle Mountain's next opponent Pueblo Centennial played Pueblo West twice, winning, 2-1 and 5-1.

Samsung Apologizes to Chinese Consumers for Handset Flaws
With its massive smartphone sales in China, Samsung Electronics is approaching Apple in status in China.
Now it's learning the pitfalls of success in the country.
Samsung apologized to Chinese consumers Wednesday, offering free repair and extended warranty on some smartphone models following a broadcast on CCTV Tuesday where China's state-run media singled out the Korean electronics maker for a problem with the memory chips in some models of its phones, including the Galaxy Note. The report then detailed how the problem was not covered by Samsung's warranty and often cost users well over $100 to fix.
Samsung said in a statement it aims to listen to consumer concerns and put customer service first in the future.
The report is redolent of a series of broadcasts made by CCTV in March taking exception to Apple's after- sales services which ultimately prompted Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook to issue an apology letter pledging to revamp the company's services in China.
Over the past year, the Chinese government and state-run media have hit out at a number of foreign companies for a range of abuses including corruption to price gouging. Just this week, China's government-controlled television broadcaster criticized Starbucks Corp., saying its profit margins in China are excessive.
Still in Samsung's case, there is some reason to believe the government may relent. Unlike the criticism of Apple, which came during CCTV's influential evening news, the attack on Samsung came on a less prominent economics program on CCTV-2.
Nonetheless, the recent criticism of Samsung casts doubt on the efficacy of participating in recent dialogues held between the Chinese government and foreign companies. In April, China President Xi Jinping met with executives of dozens of companies, including Samsung, and allowed them to comment on China's business climate.
Some executives at the meeting complained that the government pursues policies that favor domestic investment and the rise of state enterprises. They urged him to reduce barriers to doing business in the country.
Mr. Xi pledged then to provide a "level playing field for all market players," though he provided little other information.

Mid 17th century (as a term in geometry and physics): from Latin, literally 'domestic hearth'.
In Latin focus meant 'hearth, fireplace', and the optical sense of 'the burning point of a lens', the point at which rays meet after reflection or refraction, may have developed from this. It was first used in 1604 in Latin in this sense by the German astronomer Johannes Kepler (1571–1630). By the beginning of the 18th century the word had appeared in the writings of such eminent figures as the philosopher Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679), the scientist Robert Boyle (1627–91), and the mathematician and physicist Isaac Newton (1643–1727). The focus groups of modern marketing are much more recent, dating from the early 1960s. Latin focus became foyer in French, in the sense 'hearth'. It came to be used in French for the 'green-room' in a theatre, and then for the area that the public could gather in during intervals, a sense first found in English in 1859. See also fuel

TRACY -- The homeless can find a free hot meal every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday evening at Dr. Powers Park thanks to the efforts of several local church congregations. This program, dubbed Potluck in the Park, is a continuous effort throughout the year and helps feedthose who are hungry.
On Tuesday, as the sun started to set and temperatures dropped, members of Grace Church in Tracy served more than 20 home-cooked hot meals to those in need at the park. Those receiving the meals explained that it was a combination of not only the food but the camaraderie and care that brings them back week after week.
"This is quality time with friends and loved ones," said Darmor White, 36, known to his friends as "D-Mo." White travels with his 2-year-old dog Precious, a German Shepherd and Yorkie mix.
"It's great to have something warm in your stomach and to know someone cares about you. My friend Denny (sitting down the table) started going to church because of this. I think it's cool what they do."
Along with the hot meal and fellowship with friends, D-Mo's dog received a new chew toy Tuesday evening from a member of the church junior high youth group that was helping out.
"I started this program with one bag of sandwiches," Tracy resident Kathy Goddard said. "The first hot meal I served was corn beef and cabbage, and the man just sobbed. There's so many hungry people out there.
"God gave me the strength to do this. Once this program started to grow, I went around to the local churches and got them involved taking different days to serve those in need. Now we have about nine churches helping."
In addition to the park meals three days a week, food is also served at different churches on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, she said. A special dinner will be served in the park on Christmas Day.
"When I heard about this, I felt convinced to reach out and help," said Dave Vallotton, outreach pastor at Grace Church. "Sometimes, the homeless feel invisible, but they are people and it's up to us to let them know they are not invisible and that they do matter."
A typical meal could include homemade chili or soup as a main dish and vegetables as one of the two side dishes served. On average, three church families will sign up to cook and serve the meals, which can often draw 20 to 40 people in need. Dinner at the park starts at 4:30 p.m.
"I really appreciate the people that do this," said resident Joanne Anthony, 55."I live on a fixed income, and without this program, a lot of us would have nothing to eat. It's more than the food, it's the good company. The group also helps supply needed things like blankets, clothes and personal hygiene products. I think it's great how they help the community, how they really care."
"Tonight was my first time being here and helping serve," said Steve Allgoewer, a member of Grace Church. "I was once homeless, and this program is a way I am able to give back. Jesus delivered me, and this is a way for me to pass along the baton to someone else.
"The best thing is being able to be together with people in need and helping make a difference in someone's life."
Dr. Powers Park is at 900 W. Lowell Ave. in Tracy. Dinners are served every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday evening at 4:30 p.m. There will also be a special dinner served to the homeless and hungry on Christmas evening.

Top Moment #4: Hameed Ali Beats Buzzer to Clinch Road Game Over SHSU
Freshman Hameed Ali had the opportunity at a second chance. After missing a buzzer beater in December, Ali proved he was more than capable of being a clutch shooter. On Jan. 21, he rose to the occasion, helping the Islanders overcome a 16-point second-half deficit to emerge victorious over Sam Houston State. Ali gave nothing short of a spectacular play to help the Islanders knock off the Bearkats 50-49 in the final seconds.
The Hayward, Calif. native took a jumper from the far left corner with 0.3 seconds left on the clock to sink the two points needed to secure the win.
It marked the second game in a row that the Islanders had a massive comeback, as A&M - Corpus Christi came from 25 down to tie UT Arlington on Jan. 18, but the Islanders wound up on the wrong end of a 77-73 score. This time, Ali, whose attempt at a game winner against South Alabama on Dec. 15 was just off the mark, gave the Islanders the one-point win and their first victory in Huntsville since 2007.

I'm running QCad 126.96.36.199 on a Solaris 10/x86 machine. My printing is through CUPS with lpr/lpd. How do I specify the printer to use to QCad? I'd edit the qcad.ini file, but I don't know the semantics.
When I select File->Print there is no printer listed. I could export to pdf, but I'd prefer to print directly.
I also tried PDF Export to the file "| lp -d EpsonC82" but that just gives me a file named exactly that.
