NEW YORK — RingTV.com caught up with manager Cameron Dunkin in the lobby of the Affinia Hotel on Friday night to discuss the future of former undisputed middleweight titleholder Kelly Pavlik hours after a meeting that took place involving Dunkin, the fighter, Top Rank CEO Bob Arum and Pavlik's father and co-manager, Mike Pavlik.
Dunkin and Arum were in New York promoting Saturday night's HBO-televised bout during which THE RING's No. 4 pound-for-pound WBO/WBC bantamweight titleholder Nonito Donaire (27-1, 18 KOs) successfully defended his belts against WBO junior bantamweight beltholder Omar Narvaez (35-1-2, 19 KOs) of Argentina at Madison Square Garden.
In an interview on Friday, Arum told RingTV.com that the meeting went well.
"We had a very, very good discussion. Everybody emerged very satisfied from the discussion, I will say that," said Arum. "What we discussed, nobody authorized me to talk about. But I will say that it was non-controversial meeting."
Click here for Kelly Pavlik's video interview with RingTV.com's Ryan Songalia.
The 29-year-old Pavlik (37-2, 32 KOs) pulled out of a scheduled August fight against southpaw Darryl Cunningham (23-2, 10 KOs) on Showtime, citing his disappointment over the offer he received from Top Rank to face Cunningham and then southpaw IBF super middleweight titleholder Lucian Bute (29-0, 26 KOs) in November.
Pavlik said that he was upset with his reported payments of $50,000 for facing Cunningham, and the $1.35 million minimum he was to get from Top Rank for a meeting Bute.
Pavlik said that he had heard that Denmark's ex-titleholder Mikkel Kessler had turned down a larger amount for a match up with Bute.
The move by Pavlik forced Showtime to cancel the entire card that was be held in Pavlik's hometown of Youngstown, Ohio, and it frustrated network executives, Arum and Dunkin.
Dunkin revealed some of the details of the meeting to RingTV.com below.
Bob Arum was very supportive of that. We talked about different places that he can go, and we narrowed that down. The entire meeting was very positive.
Kelly is supposed to let me know as soon as tomorrow. It could be as soon as tomorrow when he wants to start looking at camps and stuff. It could be really soon.
RingTV.com: He's obviously going to fight as a super middleweight, but what is the timetable for pursuing a title in that weight class — two fights and then a title shot?
We'll see where you're at. And if we need a third or a fourth, then, you know, we need it. We want to get him back to where he was fighting like he was when he fought Edison Miranda, and when he fought Jermain Taylor and those type of guys.
We want him back there. Because if he gets back to there, then everybody does well.
CD: I think that he's got to back and start again. I know that he's 29 years old. He's almost the same age as Nonito Donaire. People look at Donaire and they say that he's just getting started.
But they say that Kelly is a shot fighter. He may be. Kelly understands that. But we have to find out. We've got to get him a nutritionist. We've got to get him a dietician.
We've got to get him a strength trainer. We're going to get him a trainer. We've got to get him everything to support him 24/7 to make him the best that he can be.
RingTV.com: And that starts with building him back up?
CD: Yeah. And we're going to start with the easy fight. An easy fight and then another easy right. And then we're going to see where he's at. We'll try new things.
We'll check with his weight of course. Like Bob said in the meeting, 'you dont' know if you're not even a 160-pounder. You never did any nutrition. You never dieted properly. You never did anything.'
Kelly was like an old time guy who just trained his a– off, sweated, and then fought. And so we're going to find out. We're going to go more into new tactics that other people are using.
Like Nonito Donaire, like Brandon Rios, like Mikey Garcia, and like Timmy Bradley. We're going to implement those techniques into Kelly and let him see what that's like.
We'll see how he likes it, and find out if we've got ourselves a heckuva fighter. We think that we could and that we do.
RingTV.com: Can you shed any light on Jack Loew?
CD: We believe that Jack Loew's going to be gone. We want to send him to Oxnard with Robert Garcia. Robert doesn't even know yet. We're going to send him up to Oxnard. We're going to get him a nice, beautiful house for his family.
That way, he's not staying in a hotel room. We're going to give him the best of everything. We're going to rent him a van, you know, for his kids and everything and for his wife.
We're going to give him the best of everything so that he's going to have a chance to become a good fighter again, and if he doesn't, then he doesn't. But he's going to have a chance to.
CD: Yeah, Victor Conte's going to be involved also.

For many current students, gender is the deciding factor on whether or not they would send their children to Dartmouth because of the predominance of male-dominated social spaces and the intensity of fraternity culture.

IACC workshop addresses strategies for streamlining services and supports
This guest post is by Carrie Masur Gillispie. She is a Government Relations intern at Autism Speaks with a Master of Education in school psychology.
The Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee (IACC) Services Subcommittee held a workshop on November 8th called "Building a Seamless System of Quality Services & Supports Across the Lifespan," in Rockville, Maryland (view the agenda here). The all-day event focused on policy issues related to the system of services and supports for people with autism spectrum disorders and their families. The workshop was open to the public, and several community members attended the event including parents, educators, medical professionals, and researchers.
Nancy Thaler of the National Association of State Directors of Developmental Disabilities Services, Bill East of the National Association of State Directors of Special Education, and K. Charlie Lakin of the University of Minnesota painted a picture of the current state of autism services. They noted that while services have come a long way over the past few years, families still need help with accessing service providers and support agencies who can meet their unique needs. They also noted concerns about the increasing demand for autism services due to increased prevalence and the fiscal challenges many states are facing in funding these services.
Self-direction care programs give people with autism more power over deciding how to use public funds to fit their individual needs. Several states have secured federal waivers that give individuals with autism a budget, and the authority to choose how to spend that money among a selection of services and supports. They can tailor a combination of providers to best support their needs. These programs are sometimes referred to as "Cash and Counsel." Michael Head of the Michigan Department of Community Health and James Conroy of the Center for Outcome Analysis discussed how to implement and evaluate these programs.
There are many different types of services and supports out there, and there is no one-size-fits-all combination to suit the unique needs of each person with autism. Donald Clintsman from the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services emphasized that it is important to cater those services according to each person's needs. He presented a standardized way to assess each person's needs in order to deliver the most appropriate services possible.
The training of professionals who work with people with autism was a key topic for three speakers. Kevin Ann Huckshorn from Delaware Health and Social Services presented training strategies to prevent and reduce the use of seclusion and restraint. Her model emphasized preventing conflict escalation and encouraging positive support. Carrie Blakeway of The Lewin Group and Erika Robbins from the Office of Ohio Health Plans highlighted issues surrounding hiring, educating, and supporting those who work with people with autism.
Sheldon Wheeler from the Maine Department of Health and Human Services presented examples of innovative strategies to give adults with autism better housing options such as individualized housing, homeownership, positive social environments, and housing modifications. Lisa Crabtree of Towson University and Julie LaBerge of the Bonduel School District in Wisconsin described peer support programs creating positive relationships and raising autism awareness in their schools. Jim Sinclair, co-founder and coordinator of the Autism Network International, described the advantages of people with autism providing peer support for others with autism.
Highlighting the need for streamlining the many service agencies within each state, John Martin from the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities discussed strategies for integrating government systems that provide autism-related services.
The subcommittee, as well as members of the IACC, had the opportunity to ask speakers questions about the most effective ways to build a more efficient system of services and supports. It was an information-packed day that fostered interesting discussions and several recommendations for achieving this important goal. Links to the speakers' presentations are expected to be posted on the IACC website next week.

Normally are strong, beautiful women. Ages can range anywhere between 25 and older. They can be single, or in a relationship. Most of the time they'll have 1 child or none, but there are women with more children who are very much independent. They have a lot of experience and expertise in the field their in, refined resumes. Independent Women usually don't want to waste their precious time.
Independent Women
by For the women April 21, 2013
A woman who pays her own bills, buys her own things, and doesn't feel she needs a man's approval. Meanwhile, she complains that she can't find a man because there aren't enough good men out there. She also has a 1,000 point criteria list for what she wants in a man and feels like she deserves this kind of man because she can financially support herself. All the while she forgets that she can't be independent and interdependent (in a relationship) at the same time. Instead of realizing that she would need to change her mindset to find a man who fits even a fraction of that 1,000 point criteria, she blames society, her race, statistics, and virtually anything but herself for her situation.

In reality, she has a new boyfriend at least 2-3 times a year and never stays single more than a week. She also often gets money from her parents. She also craves attention from online social networks like facebook and twitter and is known to cause a lot of drama at work.

Professional baseball players live a fast-paced life, playing one day on the West Coast before jetting east for another game the next night.
It doesn't start out that way, though. Before joining the Major League jet set, most players endure long, grueling bus rides on the highways and back roads of middle America--experiencing the suffocating odors of gas and diesel fumes far more often than the sweet aroma of hot dogs and fresh cut grass in minor league ballparks across the land.
Mike Couchee started his professional baseball career that way--riding buses to such places as Keizer, Ore., and Pasco, Wash.
He was just beginning his career as a 22-year-old pitcher for Grays Harbor in the Northwest League, a short season Class-A league for promising young rookies. It was a playing career that would eventually take him out of the bus and onto a Boeing 727 as a member of the San Diego Padres.
It was just a short stop for Couchee, however. He pitched in only eight games for the Padres after getting called up from Triple-A Las Vegas in 1983 before injuries led to the rapid decline of his pitching talents. He retired as a player in 1987, his promising career coming to an abrupt end only seven years after it had begun.
That's his pitching career. His baseball career, though, was only just beginning.
Now, 34 years after taking that first bus ride from Grays Harbor to Pasco, Couchee is back on the bus again, and he's happy to be there.
Mike Couchee is the pitching coach for the San Jose Giants in the Class-A California League, and the 55-year-old baseball veteran who started his pitching career as a 9-year-old in the Los Gatos Little League feels right at home.
And he looked every bit the part, riding the back of the batting cage as young players ripped line drives all over the yard at San Jose Municipal Stadium during batting practice prior to San Jose's evening game against Stockton on July 22.
It's another stop on a long baseball journey for Couchee that started in Los Gatos and continues just 12 miles away at Muni Stadium, but has covered thousands and thousands of miles in between.
From Grays Harbor to Reno, from Amarillo to Honolulu, from Las Vegas to San Diego, with stops in Beaumont, Texas, Charlotte, N.C., Rochester, N.Y., and Tulsa, Okla.
The stadium music screamed in the background as a relaxed Couchee stepped away from the diamond that has been his home away from home for almost 50 years to talk about his professional career.
"It was kind of a fast trip up and a fast trip back," he said with a smile. The up he was talking about, though, was all the way up--into the major leagues.
After a quick rise through rookie ball and all three levels of the minor leagues, Couchee found himself in the San Diego Padres' camp in the spring of 1983.
"I made the major league team out of spring training that year," he said. "I didn't know that I'd made the club because there were three extra pitchers still traveling with the team out of spring training. They took us all up to San Francisco, which is where we opened up that year.
"The way I found out that I'd made the big league club was they gave me meal money for that road trip, because we were going from San Francisco to Atlanta. That's how I found out, after the workout before opening day."
So a guy from the Bay Area finds out he's realized his dream of making a major league roster at Candlestick Park, 50 miles away from his hometown.
"That was kind of storybook, too," he recalled. "I'll never forget leaving the ballpark. My dad worked in San Carlos at the time; driving home I was able to stop in and see my dad and tell him I'd made the big league club. I still get chills just thinking about it."
The emotion didn't end there. A day later, with his entire family in the Candlestick crowd, Couchee made his big league debut.
"I remember the [bullpen] phone rang, I remember getting ready, I remember coming in the game, but I don't remember a whole lot about the outing," he said, "although I remember striking out Chili Davis because that was my first big league strikeout. It was a pretty incredible day."
So it was for real. Couchee--whose spring training roommate was a 28-year-old catcher named Bruce Botchy--was playing on a team managed by Hall of Famer Dick Williams, on a pitching staff that included Tim Lollar and John "The Count" Montefusco and on a club that included greats like Steve Garvey and Terry Kennedy and infielder Tim Flannery.
He pitched in eight games that year before an injury suffered in an exhibition game effectively ended his career. He bounced between Double-A and Triple-A over the next three years before he asked for his release.
It was the end of his playing career.
But sometimes the end of one thing leads to the beginning of another. And that was the case for Mike Couchee. He went from being a player to a coach, and doesn't regret the change.
"Tom House was one of the minor league instructors with the Padres when I was there, and we always got along real well," he said. "I think he liked the way I went about my business when I was a player there. When I didn't have a job in '86, he was the big league pitching coach in Texas at the time, and he called to ask if I was interested in getting into coaching."
That call led to a new career.
He coached in the Texas organization for two years, then spent 15 years with the California Angels and eight more with the Padres before joining the Giants organization in 2012.
It was a perfect fit for Couchee. He's lived in Arizona for 22 years with his wife, Lisa, and their son, Tyler, and that's where the Giants assigned him last season. A year later, he was on his way to San Jose.
"Bert Bradley and Dick Tidrow approached me about coming here," he said. "They sent a very good group of pitchers here, and I took it as a compliment that they wanted me to be here with this group to see what I could do with them."
San Jose manager Andy Skeels is pleased to have him here.
"He's a pro, he's prepared and he knows the game," said Skeels of Couchee. "Having a guy like Mike around is great for any manager, and for me in particular."
"We're leading the league in pitching, so I'd have to say he's had a great influence on [our pitchers]," added Skeels. "He brings an enormous amount of experience to the table. He has a deft way of dealing with a lot of different personalities, and our pitchers have responded well. A lot of the credit for that goes to him."
Couchee figures that he can relate to the San Jose pitchers for a couple of reasons--he was once in their position, and he has a 22-year-old son.
"I think I can relate to them because I've got a son about their age, so I kind of know their ways and have an idea of what they're going through," he said. "And some of the things that I went through, they're going through, and I think it helps."
"Sometimes--and I was probably like that at their age, too--your expectations on yourself are really unrealistic. To be able to relate experiences to them and try to put it in perspective makes it easier to relate to them as people as much as just pitchers. I try to take some of the pressure and expectations off and make them understand that failure is a huge part of this game, and if they learn how to deal with it now it makes it a lot easier for them later on."
Failure was not something Couchee had to deal with much when he starred on the mound while playing in youth leagues, high school and college.
Couchee has fond memories of his early days in the game, when he started out by playing against his father, Phil, in the Los Gatos Little League after he was drafted in the "fourth or fifth round" by Joe Zanardi.
"As a 9-year-old, my mom and dad both thought I would be better off playing in the minors," he said, "so my dad [the manager of another team in the league] passed on me, but I was drafted by Joe."
"I ended up beating my dad's team in the championship game," he added with a laugh.
Zanardi knew exactly what he was doing.
"I took him as a 9-year-old because he had really good form and just threw strikes," Zanardi recalled. "He was amazing. He finished his [four-year] Little League career with a record of 26-4.
"He was a pleasure to coach," added Zanardi. "He listened and he hustled all the time."
What Zanardi remembers the most, though, is that day when he walked to the mound to talk to his young pitcher in the fourth inning of the championship game against the elder Couchee. "Mike looked me right in the eye and said, 'Don't take me out!'"
He didn't, and the young Couchee ended up the winning pitcher as La Hacienda clinched the major division championship.
That was only the beginning for Couchee, who went on to success in the Los Gatos Pony and Colt Leagues and later as a star athlete at Los Gatos High School.
He was so good as the quarterback on the football team and the star pitcher on the baseball team that he was named to the Los Gatos High School Athletic Hall of Fame.
Couchee was fortunate enough to have some mentors who guided his path on the baseball diamond.
"Obviously, my dad was the biggest influence on me, and then playing for Joe and Ed Kirk starting in Little League," he said. "Those three guys were very influential in basically just teaching me how to play the game at an early age. And then playing for Wayne Senini and Joe Winstead at the high school."
Senini and Winstead knew him well before Couchee ever got into high school since he was following his two older brothers, Kent and Flip (Phil Jr.).
"Having two older brothers was really big for me growing up," he said. "It seemed like, as the youngest guy, you were always playing with older kids. Playing against better kids at the younger age was really helpful."
Couchee was drafted by the San Francisco Giants out of high school but instead of signing when to San Diego State for a year.
"I actually had a pretty good year as a freshman," he said. "But honestly, I wasn't really into school--I wanted to sign and get into pro ball as soon as I could, so I went back to San Jose City College because back then they had that supplemental draft in January."
Couchee played his sophomore season at San Jose City, and had another solid year playing for coach John Oldham, a former pitcher in the Cincinnati organization.
"He was very helpful, being a pitcher himself," said Couchee of Oldham. "He expected you to do things right away."
"I was hoping to get drafted and sign after a year at City."
He did get drafted that January--by the Minnesota Twins--but instead of signing he ended up going to USC, a team, ironically enough, that he had beaten twice just a couple of years earlier while pitching at San Diego State.
"Marcel Lachemann was the pitching coach at SC at the time, so obviously he had seen me pitch a couple of times," said Couchee. "He called me after my freshman year at San Diego State and asked me if I wanted to pitch for a team he was managing up in Alaska. So after pitching for him for a couple of years, and after my year at San Jose City he actually recruited me to USC."
From La Hacienda to the Wildcats, then to the Aztecs and the Jaguars, Mike Couchee was a Trojan pitching for USC.
"That was pretty cool," he admitted. "Just walking through Heritage Hall and playing at Dedeaux field, playing for Rod Dedeaux ... it probably meant more after the fact than it did at the time.
"That was the place to go, and just to be able to go there and play was quite an honor. For them to want me to go there and play was an honor."
Another honor would follow quickly when the San Diego Padres drafted him in the 19th round. He signed, and immediately became a relief pitcher in the Northwest League.
"That's something I'd always dreamed about," said Couchee of his pro signing, "and it was a dream I was lucky to have come true."
That dream quickly became reality, though, when Couchee discovered that life in the minor leagues wasn't anything like life at a major university.
"Going from USC to the minor leagues, it's kind of a step back," he said with a laugh. "Instead of flying everywhere and staying in nice hotels and playing in really nice ballparks, you're traveling on buses that break down every other road trip and staying in Motel 6s. It's kind of a step back."
That was then. Now the minor leagues--especially San Jose--is just where Couchee wants to be.
"It's a blast being here," he said. "They do things right. They do things first class here."
But would he like to get back to the big leagues?
"If it happens, it happens," he said. "It's not a pressing thing now. If it happens it would be awesome, but this is really enjoyable, especially with the young kids."
A return to the minor leagues means it's back on the buses for Couchee.
"But the buses nowadays are nothing like I rode back in the day," he said. "We've got Wi-Fi, we've got TV, we've got everything you could ask for. It's not quite the same.
"We had no phones, no iPads," he added. "I had a little black boom box, but I had to keep it turned down low because I don't think we had any headphones. The buses have quite a lot."
So after 34 years in professional baseball, Mike Couchee is back riding the bus. And he's loving every minute of it.

Honey Bee Breeding, Genetics, and Physiology Research
1a.Objectives (from AD-416):
The parasitic mite Varroa destructor is the central pest of domesticated and free-living honey bee, causing direct impacts on bee health as well as indirect effects caused by vectoring viruses and other bee disease agents. We propose to use emerging high-throughput sequencing techniques to sequence, assemble and annotate the genome of this mite, and use the resulting insights to improve honey bee health and crop pollination. We will increase project impacts through a cost-effective partnership across existing academic sequencing and informatics centers and by choosing appropriate sequencing techniques for specific questions. We will leverage this project by engaging ca. 40 academic and governmental researchers in a volunteer consortium, 22 of whom met along with nine industry leaders for an initial 'Varroa Genome Workshop' in January, 2009, at the American Beekeeping Federation Annual Convention, Reno Nevada.
1b.Approach (from AD-416):
We will continue genomic sequencing to 20x coverage with an 'optimal' mix of straight and end-pair 454 reads, followed by genome assembly. Transcriptome surveys will be carried out using 454 pyrosequencing, focused on.1)nymphal development,.2)host finding (tarsal
library),.3)immune responses (gut with and without virus infection), and.4)gut microbes.
SNPs and protein polymorphism will be discovered using the ABI SOLiD platform on the mite
transcriptome. These data will be aligned with homologous sequence data from the genome
reads and from the 454 transcriptome reads to give an abundance of SNPs. Development and testing of a canonical gene will be followed by Integration and posting of emerging data
via Beebase, NCBI, and other public databases.

Just like the Sony Bravia users, I see stuttering of some transcoded HD material on my Philips TV, e.g. 1080p and orginal m2ts format.
The format is transcoded by mencoder to a mpeg program stream (needed for Philips TV).
I have tried multiple options in networking (not likely cause, I have 100Mbs cabled network), lower mpeg quality setting, optimize dual core (I use a fast E8400 dual core processor and 2GB memory with XP) etc.
In the FAQ AviSynth/Mencoder trancoding engine is recommended with dual core, but this does not solve it.
So I do not yet have a clue on how to cope with this.
=> Which options should I use to reduce/avoid stuttering in real-time transcoding?
=> How can I analyse where the bottleneck is?
Sound disappears after a short time
On some transcoded HD movies the sound disappears after a small period (e.g. a minute).
My settings in PMS are 2 ch stereo.
=> Any idea on the cause of this disappearing sound?

Note this software has a problem with symlinks/aliases so the vendor actively suggests you don't scan the whole hard drive: http://www.clamxav.com/faq.php#Q7
Bit of a deal breaker for antivirus software if it can't scan your whole hard drive... I guess not an issue if you don't use symlinks(?).
After using macs for all 18+ years of my life, I have never once encountered a virus. I'll run it every few months just in case.
ClamXav 1.1.1 with ClamAV 0.95.1 backend available at http://www.clamxav.com/index.php?page=dl
I am using ClamX every couple of monhs to clean Word macro-viruses from clients machines. Macs can get affected by these viruses also. They do not do any damage per se but you pass them on to other users which in turn are usually not very happy. So there´s your need for anti-virus protection on the mac.
So... if we don't have any viruses, how do we confirm that this software actually works? I mean, what exactly does it do and do we even need it?
do I need an antivirus on My Mac? Don't think so, but have clamxav.. for just in case :)

Yep. That's what we said. Most likely though, it's not what you've been reading. Contrary to what the announcements might infer, Bill Yosses is not tired of Michelle Obama forcing him to prepare healthier foods. As a matter of fact, it appears that our First Lady has actually inspired him to explore the relationship between food and health.
There have been a number of variations on a theme that reads something along the lines of "White House pastry chef resigns: 'I don't want to demonize cream, butter, sugar and eggs.' "
And the full story kind of belies the narrative of the "demonize" frame.
Yosses has been White House pastry chef since 2007. President Obama's nickname for him is "Crust Master." He gave a lengthy phone interview to Marian Burros of The New York Times upon the announcement of his departure. Its lead notes that the first lady is indeed the reason – but because she's piqued his interest in the relationship between food and health.
Yosses said he's moving to New York after he departs the White House in June and hopes to put together a foundation or some sort of organization that promotes "delicious food as healthy food," according to the Times. There are also family reasons for the change: His husband of three years, Charlie Jandusay Fabella Jr., lives in New York.
Yosses said that he thinks food knowledge, as in the culinary arts, should be taught in schools. He added that for formal occasions, 20 percent of desserts are still old-style cream-heavy and that he does not want to "demonize" the ingredients that go into those, given their tastiness. But he has worked with Mrs. Obama to add fruit purée and other healthier ingredients that are still appetizing.
"She has done it with humor and goodwill, without preaching," Yosses told the Times.
Does that sound like somebody leaving in a huff because doughnuts are forbidden? TheBlaze, Glenn Beck's media venture, does not think so. Blaze writer Oliver Darcy did a quick rumor check and decided that Yosses's admitted fondness for cream was not the reason for his departure.
More healthy-eating inspiration from our First Lady. FoodFacts.com believes that her committment and dedication to nutrition has legs. It's reaching the masses.
Michelle Obama is certainly inspirational. She's helping millions of people in our country become educated food consumers, conscious eaters and healthier human beings. And now she's inspired the White House pastry chef to take up that same cause outside of his privileged post. There's really no reason for a trendy negative spin here. Healthy food news is good news!

The USS San Francisco Memorial Foundation, Inc. is pleased and honored to support this web site which depicts the true history and glory of one of America's most treasured heavy cruisers, USS SAN FRANCISCO (CA-38), and the initial protected cruiser the USS SAN FRANCISCO(C-5), and the current nuclear submarine USS SAN FRANCISCO (SSN-711).
It can truly be stated that the success the United States enjoyed over the defeat of the Japanese was greatly due to the gallant bravery of the fighting men and officers aboard her decks; particularly during the conflict which took place on November 13th 1942, during the battle of Guadalcanal, (a turning point in the war in the Pacific, after the first tuning point at the Battle of Midway).
USS San Francisco earned 17 battle stars during World War II.
"This site will serve as an indefinite reminder to the US Armed Forces that it knows the meaning of sacrifice when it comes to defending our nation's liberty and freedom, especially to the U.S. Navy and Marines."
copyright © 2007-2016 San Francisco Memorial Foundation
De Hos Cineres... Up from the Ashes
This website is open to all who wish to learn about this unique warship and the men whose lives are inextricably linked because of her, and will grow over time, as new information is gleaned from numerous sources. The intent is to tell as many of the stories as possible about the sailors and Marines who knew her, and to that extent, the Foundation welcomes any and all information about any aspect of the ship's history, from the men who served on land and sea, from their families and friends, from historians and hobbyists.
Become a member and you will be given access to special resources and tools that will enable you to tell your piece of history.
No matter how much the site grows, however, not every story will be told here. Volumes could (and have) been written about the USMC who fought for every square inch of ground in invasion after bloody invasion, and while this site commemorates those battles, there are numerous websites devoted to their efforts at Guadalcanal , Iwo Jima, Okinawa and other islands in the campaign. But even focusing on the USS San Francisco is a daunting task, since thousands of men were touched by her.
Some stories have been lost forever, as the players in those dramas have passed on. Time is of the essence, as the people and events depicted here are passing into history, so please join with us in preserving these faces, photos and stories for generations to come. Join the Foundation today.

Former Bay Area high school football star Joe Mixon is the subject of a police investigation for alleged aggravated assault in Norman, Oklahoma, where he is a freshman on the Oklahoma football team.
The alleged victim, a 20-year-old female student at the university, told The Oklahoman that Mixon punched her in the face at a deli early Friday morning, breaking four bones.
Kevin Finlay, an attorney in Norman, confirmed to this newspaper that he was contacted by Mixon shortly after the incident.
"We've been fully cooperating with the authorities, and Joe is looking forward to the truth coming out," Finlay said.
Finlay said that, contrary to previous reports, the police were not actively looking for Mixon, a former Freedom High-Oakley star.
"I had heard it had escalated to a manhunt, and that's absolutely not true," Finlay said. "I've been in constant contact with the authorities, and when requested, Joe will be made available to them."
A spokesman for the Norman police department told this newspaper that officers responded to a reported aggravated assault at Pickleman's Gourmet Deli near campus at 2:40 a.m. Friday. No one was arrested.
"Because it is an active investigation, I'm not at liberty to discuss information about the victim or the suspect," Major J.D. Younger said in a phone interview.
According to The Oklahoman, the police report identified the alleged victim as Amelia Rae Molitor, a 20-year-old OU student from Euless, Texas.
Molitor told The Oklahoman she had never seen Mixon before he punched her in the face. She said Mixon was "harassing" her and some of her friends at Pickleman's before the incident. "He punched me one time," she said. "He broke my face in four places ... my nose, my sinuses ... they're broken."
Molitor said she plans to take legal action against Mixon, and added that she fears the wrath of OU fans. "That's my big fear," she said. "I've been told to stay off of social media to avoid (OU fans) coming after me on there."
A spokesman for the Oklahoma athletic department said the university is aware of the incident.
"We are aware of this matter and it is under review. We take these reports very seriously," according to a department statement.
The Oklahoma State Courts Network website said an assault or battery is classified as aggravated when "great bodily injury is inflicted upon the person assaulted; or when committed by a person of robust health or strength upon one who is aged, decrepit, or incapacitated, as defined in Section 641 of this title."
It is punishable in Oklahoma by up to five years in prison or $500 in fines, or both.
Mixon was celebrating his 18th birthday on Thursday night, according to SoonerScoop.com, an Oklahoma football website.
Mixon, who rushed for 1,704 yards and 23 touchdowns last fall at Freedom, was Oklahoma's top recruit in 2014. OU quarterback Trevor Knight tweeted birthday wishes to Mixon on Thursday, calling him "The Next Big Thing in Norman!"

You may recall I was asked to sit on the Advisory Board at the South East Nebraska Community Action Center. Our first meeting took place on Friday. The agenda was not encouraging to me.
The meeting opened with the shocking announcement that the current cook who provides some 700 astonishingly creative, nutritious meals a month for Senior Citizens and Meals On Wheels has tendered her two weeks' notice because she has found employment where she will earn more money and receive less hassle. There was a collective GASP across this community as the news quickly spread.
Then we discussed the empty shelves in the Food Pantry, the ginormous number of families who applied for assistance with Back To School needs. There was discussion regarding the much needed "love" the building housing the Action Center needs. We will be arranging a Fund Raiser.
On Friday morning I had learned about the new figures concerning the desperate need for using food stamps or SNAP, food commodities and food pantries. It has gotten amazing media attention worldwide. All in all, I felt quite glum at the end of the meeting.
I was cheered on Sunday when our church people came with bags and bags of school supplies, backpacks and offers to purchase other things to fill the need and the shelves. We are already thinking ahead to Christmas and cold weather needs.
Unemployment may be "steadying" as the media has been reporting but in our neck of the woods there are hard working people who cannot afford to feed their families; there are people being laid off work; there are people who are sick and aging who need our support in concrete ways.
The Cooking Class we have scheduled may ease some of the stress and strain. But that's just a drop in the bucket. My heart is heavy that I cannot do more but I am following my passion and reaching out. Pray with me that lives will be touched and made better and that things will improve dramatically and soon.
Meantime, I want to share with you a wonderful idea for using the ample supply of zucchini that seems to abound. Our Mexican neighbor, who promises to teach me some of their best techniques, told me about this:
Wash the zucchini and chop off the ends. Cut the vegetable into cubes and cook til tender. Drain the liquid and put your favorite kind of cheese into the warm pot and let them melt. Senor Torres likes to use taco flavored cheese he buys in 5 pound blocks but he says any cheese will work.
He also told me he fills tortillas with this mixture, along with a few cooked beans and eats them out of hand. MMMM!
I'm excited to get into the kitchen to try this one!

Economic Conditions Still Challenge Renewable Energy Growth: Report
March 2, 2011
Despite record global investment in renewable energy in 2010, the continuing impacts of the global financial crisis are placing renewable energy markets in a state of flux, according to a recent analysis by Ernst & Young. The company's latest Renewable Energy Country Attractiveness Indices, released on February 28, still place China in the top spot, thanks largely to the country's 64% growth in wind power capacity in 2010. China reached 42 megawatts (MW) of wind power capacity in 2010, but Chinese companies are dealing with falling stocks, inflationary pressures, weak research and development capabilities, and limited grid capacity that may not be able to continue supporting the country's rapid growth in both wind and solar power. And, Ernst & Young has received reports of unconnected wind power capacity in China. Closely trailing China in the indices is the United States, which gained status by extending its Treasury grant program through 2011, but its renewable energy markets still face long-term uncertainty.
Across Europe, the picture is mixed, with tightening government budgets, falling technology costs, and (in some quarters at least) booming solar markets. This has led to a series of reductions in feed-in tariffs, especially for solar. The United Kingdom ranks fifth in the indices, bolstered by electricity market reform, although an ongoing review of its feed-in tariffs is creating uncertainty. Feed-in tariffs provide a fixed, guaranteed price for power generated from specific resources, such as solar energy, and they have been a key factor in encouraging renewable energy development across Europe. India also ranks high in the indices, tying with Germany for third place, thanks to the development of a 250-MW tidal-current power plant and to government obligations to purchase solar power. See the Ernst & Young press release and the indices report .

AUSTIN, Texas – The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi softball team wrapped play today at the Texas Classic with a 3-0 victory over Memphis at Red & Charline McCombs field. After early morning storms pushed the game back 30 minutes the Islanders' (1-4) bats came alive and out hit the Tigers (1-4) 4-1 to clinch their first victory of the season.
"I could not be more proud of the way our team came out today," Head Coach Stephanie Hughes said. "We were focused, hit well and pitched well. Constance did a great job in the circle. We have things to work on to get better but the team played hard all weekend. It's great to finish off the weekend with a win."
The Islanders' defense came through today leaving eight Tigers stranded on base. Constance Brandenburg (1-2) had an impressive day in the circle with a career-high eight strikeouts in seven innings. The junior allowed just one hit in the final frame and five walks total while facing 29 batters.
Meagan Mckinney, Valerie Perez, Katelyn Potts and Hayley Galloway each recorded one hit apiece. McKinney blasted her second home run of the Texas Classic and eighth career homer while Potts posted her first triple of her career. McKinney, Perez and Lindsey Lyles all registered RBIs.
The Islanders jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the opening frame with a solo home run by McKinney. The Islanders held Memphis scoreless through the second and tacked on another run in the top of the third. With one out, McKinney reached base on a walk before scoring on an RBI double by Perez to give the Islanders a 2-0 lead.
Galloway followed suit with a single to shortstop with two outs in the top of the fourth for the Islanders' third hit of the day. Both teams were held scoreless through the fourth and fifth frames until Potts opened the top of the sixth with a leadoff triple to center field and scored the Islanders' third run after Lindsey Lyles reached base on a fielding error to pad the lead to 3-0.
The Islanders loaded the bases in the top of the seventh after Mickayla Cochran advanced to second on a Dani Tefft fielder's choice after reaching base on a walk. McKinney followed with a walk and Perez loaded the bases after she was hit by the pitch. However, the Tigers escaped the jam with a strikeout.
Brandenburg held the Tigers' scoreless through six innings. With one out in the bottom of the seventh, Hannah Harrell reached on a fielding error before Bradenburg recorded her eighth strikeout of the game to tally the second out. Lelani Bernardino singled up the middle to put runners on first and second, however the Islanders ended the inning with a forced play at third base.
Ellen Roberts (0-3) took the loss for the Tigers. She allowed four hits and three runs while striking out six batters and walking four in seven innings.
The Islanders will travel to Waco, Texas, to compete in the three-day Miken Classic on Feb. 15-17, hosted by Baylor University. The Islanders will take on Northern Colorado, University of the Pacific and Baylor.

Main Page | Risk Factors | Symptoms | Diagnosis | Treatment | Screening | Reducing Your Risk | Talking to Your Doctor | Living With GAD | Resource Guide
Treatment for general anxiety disorder (GAD) falls into two categories:
Since psychotherapy is more effective than medication, it is usually the first treatment that is tried. Researchers have found that cognitive behavioral therapy is effective in treating GAD. Medications have shown to work better than placebo. Most patients benefit from a combination of therapies. More research, though, needs to be done for the other forms of therapy.
Although medical care can help most people with GAD, treatment success varies from person to person. Some experience an improvement after only a few months of treatment, while with others it may take a year or more. Treatment can be complicated by having another condition at the same time, such as substance abuse , depression , or other anxiety disorders.
Psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and specially trained primary care providers are trained to treat GAD. If your doctor doesn't have special training, ask for the name of a doctor or counselor who does.
Treatment involves the following:
Other treatments
Alternative and complementary therapies
Currently, surgical procedures are not a treatment option for GAD.

Hot on the heels of President Obama's signing the Transportation Package and passing the precedent-setting RESTORE Act, Ducks Unlimited officials joined U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu (LA) for a coastal parish tour to celebrate the promise RESTORE Act funding holds for coastal restoration.
"Coupled with the roadmap for restoration provided by the recently revised Coastal Master Plan, RESTORE Act funding is a critical step toward delivering coastal restoration on a meaningful scale," said DU Director of Conservation Programs Jerry Holden.
Ducks Unlimited has been lobbying Congress and the presidential administration to ensure that Clean Water Act penalties paid by the parties responsible for the Deepwater Horizon disaster are directed to restoration of the areas impacted by the 2010 oil spill. DU volunteers and staff were honored to join Sen. Landrieu for the celebration at the Cameron Prairie National Wildlife Refuge near Bell City, La.
"Ducks can't vote, and they can't voice their appreciation for RESTORE, so I am here on their behalf and on behalf of more than 1 million members and supporters of Ducks Unlimited across the country to say thank you for your leadership in ensuring the necessary funding for vital efforts to restore coastal Louisiana," Holden told the senator.
Cameron Prairie was a perfect venue to discuss the importance of coastal Louisiana for waterfowl and waterfowl hunters, as DU has worked with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to improve waterfowl habitat and youth hunting opportunities on the refuge.
Because the coastal marshes and prairies of Louisiana comprise the heart of the single most important habitat for migrating and wintering waterfowl in North America, and provide year-round habitat for the vast majority of the world's mottled duck population, coastal Louisiana is a top habitat conservation priority for Ducks Unlimited.
"Coastal Louisiana supports millions of wintering waterfowl, yet we continue to lose this critical area. Ninety percent of coastal marsh loss in the lower 48 states occurs right here in coastal Louisiana," said Bob Dew, DU manager of conservation programs for Louisiana. "As such, we thank Senator Landrieu for her role in bringing funding to bear that's commensurate with the crisis."

Charlie Sheen says Angus T. Jones can come work with him anytime.
Jones, of course, tore into the show he works on, "Two and a Half Men," earlier this week, referring to the show as "filth" and asking people not to watch it. Jones, a newly-converted Seventh-Day Adventist, has since backed off of some of his comments and said he will fulfill his contract.
So, considering Jones' views on the content of the show he's been on since he was 10, it only makes sense he'd go work with hard-partying Charlie Sheen, who's never met a prostitute he wouldn't pay.
Sheen told ABC News "My former nephew is welcome at the Goodson 'Anger Management' home anytime," referring to the surname of his therapist alter-ego on his FX show "Anger Management." Sheen also said Jones' videotaped rant, which went viral Monday, as a "Hale-Bopp-like meltdown," comparing it to the Heaven's Gate cult.
When it comes to meltdowns, no one knows them better than Charlie Sheen.

The holidays often mean family, friends and fun. But Columbia County deputies say they are fighting another holiday tradition, drink and driving. News 12 is on your side to show you how to spot drunk drivers.
Columbia County police are after drunk drivers. They arrest between five and ten every night, and even more on weekends and holidays. This is a scary thought for mother and grandmother Margaret Adams.
"No matter what you say, you can't bring that loved one back," Adams said.
She manages juvenile court in Columbia County and knows all too well the impaired driver has a better chance of surviving a crash than the victim.
"Sitting in the court room, I've seen the impact it makes not just on the person driving, but the families as well," Adams said.
Which is why Staff Sergeant Tim Perry is cracking down. Signs he looks out for are weaving, drivers who go slower than the speed limit, and drivers who keep their brights on as they approach oncoming cars. He is on high alert right now because of holiday parties.
"They leave after having a couple of drinks, and we end up pulling them over," Perry said.
Busy areas are where many are pulled over for DUI. But the back roads are another hotspot. Police say many who drive impaired take them to avoid getting caught.
What you may not realize is your body processes less than one drink per hour, so if you have two in that amount of time, you could be over the legal limit of .08.
One that this is reassuring for Margaret Adams is if you drink and drive, Staff Sergeant Tim Perry is coming after you.

VFW Post 5923 in Camdenton is looking to better connect with the community with a new schedule of public events. The first event takes place this Sunday with a barbeque and outdoor games event that welcomes guests, families and members to the Post.
The Post's new leadership and members have made strengthening their community image and involvement a top priority.
"For a long stretch, the post has not done enough to welcome the community and promote the programs of the VFW. We do a lot for our fellow veterans and the community," said member Keith Lucas. "We want to be known as more than a BINGO hall. We help with VA claims, support military charities, and give financially to local community organizations."
The post recently elected new officers to include a new commander.
"A lot of changes are taking place because of our new commander, a Vietnam veteran, Lance Kellogg and his leadership team," said Lucas. "We have a diverse team composed of veterans from the Korean War to Iraq and Afghanistan. We are seeing a lot of inactive members coming back, that had stopped participating for various reasons."
The First Annual Family & Friends Barbeque will take place on Sunday, July 28 at the Post on South Business Route 5 in Camdenton. The public and kids are welcome. Hamburgers, brats, hot dogs and more will be available with beer and soda available for purchase.
Outdoor activities and games along with the barbeque will be available from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. in the front parking lot of the Post. There will be ladder ball, ladder pong, washers and corn hole.
The Post also has a car show scheduled for Aug. 24 in the parking lot of Orschelns in Camdenton. For more information, contact the post's Activities Chairman Keith Lucas at 573-693-5755 or check out their website, lakevfw.org.
