- Mar 2:
- George Shirakawa Jr.'s former constituents dismayed by charges
- Mar 1:
- Shirakawa's exit highlights county's rules for succession
- Mercury News editorial: George Shirakawa's crimes eluded lax county oversight
- Letter: Shirakawa blames gambling addiction, depression for crimes
- DA: Supervisor George Shirakawa deceived public for years, had a secret slush fund
The case of George Shirakawa Jr. was wrapped up neatly Friday afternoon: a news conference by District Attorney Jeff Rosen, a resignation and expected plea by Shirakawa, the promise that prosecutors would seek a jail term. Justice while you wait.
It was a somber event that spoke volumes about politics in Santa Clara County, both for a disgraced East Side politician and for a DA who last year decided not to file against a politician in another scandal.
Put another way, Shirakawa forsook his job. Rosen performed his. Shirakawa broke the rules. With the help of a ranking prosecutor, Rosen enforced them. One man tarnished his family legacy. Another burnished his office.
As his house of cards collapsed, Shirakawa claimed that he was treated differently because he was Latino or heavy or a Raiders fan. He claimed the media were skewed, that the rules were applied capriciously, that folks on the East Side suffered from bias.
In media and law enforcement circles, the debate focused on whether the supervisor was stupid or corrupt. We know the answer now. He was both. Only a reckless man could sully the name of his beloved father, George Shirakawa Sr., so thoroughly.
A big part of that stupidity lay in the supervisor's arrogance. The DA's affidavit was salted with Shirakawa-isms: It was nobody's business whether he ate a steak or salad. Treasurers could help, but he liked doing his own books.
Shirakawa attempted to explain his plight Friday by saying he suffered from a gambling addiction and depression. The truth is that he gambled in more than the obvious way.
While he spent campaign money at the casinos -- a reported $36,000 in one six-month period in 2009 -- Shirakawa's biggest gamble was in lying about the source and use of the funds. He didn't even bother to file reports.
For a long time, he got away with it. Before a story in Metro in the fall, the county's finance department and registrar's office showed all the collective zeal of three-toed sloths.
That the supervisor was charged lay with this simple truth: The numbers don't lie. Once investigators got Shirakawa's banking records, it was all over. It was the resolution that demanded political skill and discipline.
The end game
The end game featured more than its share of irony: Rosen's office deposed a supervisor who had served as head of the board's justice committee, overseeing the DA's budget.
The DA assigned the case to assistant DA Karyn Sinunu-Towery, who had run unsuccessfully for district attorney in 2006, four years before Rosen unseated Dolores Carr. Sinunu-Towery and her investigator, Michael Brown, returned with a comprehensive affidavit.
In his first two years of office, the 45-year-old Rosen has had to explain why he did not bring charges -- no death penalty for a child-murderer, no charges against Councilman Xavier Campos in the MACSA embezzlement, no charges in the DeAnza rape case.
The politically sure-footed DA has insisted on fairness toward defendants. He is as ethical an official as I know.
Ultimately, however, people elect a DA to prosecute crimes. And the charging and departure of Shirakawa sends the message that there is a cop on the beat. Nothing does more to ensure politicians obey the rules.

You want to sell the run, you have a RB there for blitz pick up, and you don't want Nix (who is really good) to get easy penetration to quickly blow up the play. On the run play it is failing to read the run blitz correctly. My guess is he was going to double to at least get Nix moving backwards and then release to Te'o. Te'o flew by the play. That's my guess, I'm not quite sure who Denard is reading (usually you read a D-lineman on these plays, but I think Denard has been reading LBs on some because the coaching staff doesn't like leaving unblocked linemen).

Gov. McCrory says panel should decide who foots pond bill
Published: Tuesday, March 11, 2014 at 1:37 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 11, 2014 at 1:37 p.m.
RALEIGH, N.C. — Gov. Pat McCrory says he's going to stay out of the debate whether his former employer Duke Energy should be able to pass the costs of closing North Carolina's coal ash ponds on to consumers.
The governor told reporters Tuesday he wants to keep politics out of the decision-making on financial aspects of handling more than 30 ponds at 14 Duke Energy power plants. He says that's best left to the state Utilities Commission.
Duke Energy's CEO has said the company will pay for the coal ash spill cleanup in the Dan River but suggested customers pay the cost of closing other ponds.
Charlotte Rep. Ruth Samuelson co-chairs the Environmental Review Commission. Samuelson says it makes sense to her for both shareholders and ratepayers to pay for the closings.

Fort Valley, GA - Everything seemed to go right for Valdosta State Monday night in a 3-0 victory over Fort Valley State to move to 11-5 on the season.
Seven Blazers hit an attacking percentage of .300 or better with a perfect performance from freshman Anna Nichenko (five kills on five attacks). As a team, VSU finished hitting .469 with a high of .688 for the second set.
Valdosta State really hit its stride in the second set. After knocking the Wildcats off in the first set, 25-17, Emelia Saulter served VSU to a 17-0 lead, including three aces, to start the second frame.
Fort Valley State finally broke the run with a kill from Andrea Stephenson, but then VSU rifled off four more points behind Jennifer Bryant's serves. The Wildcats snuck in one more point before Macy Markham brought the Blazers down the stretch with three more points for a 25-2 final.
Valdosta State did not let up in the third set, taking it 25-8. Katie Onushko served the team to a 15-0 run in the middle of the set. During the run, even freshman setter Hope Ripsam struck a kill off an overpass from FVSU.
Ruthie King and Arielle Parnell led all players in kills with seven each while Irene Hannan notched six. King finished with a .700 percentage and no errors.
Saulter added 18 assists to lead all players and finished with five aces. The team served up 13 aces on the night. Markham led all players with seven digs.
Nikia McBurrows and Stephenson led the Wildcats with four kills apiece while Tionna Bell passed for 10 assists. Bell and Stephenson each tallied four digs to lead FVSU.
Valdosta State's defense shut down Fort Valley State for just 12 kills and a -.018 attacking percentage.
The Blazers will look to ride their momentum into a conference road trip this weekend. Valdosta State will play at Alabama-Huntsville at 8 p.m. Friday and at 1 p.m. at North Alabama Saturday.

DUBLIN -- The city is trying to plant roots from its agrarian past in new housing on the northeast side of town.
A 370-house development plan endorsed by the city Planning Commission last week includes a 137-acre lot that could be used to grow grape vineyards, olive groves or other crops. Braddock and Logan Homes also plans to plant decorative vineyards and olive trees and put historic farm implements in key common areas.
Called Moller Ranch, the development would be built east of Tassajara Road and north of Fallon Drive and the Fallon Crossing development. City officials said the plan is in keeping with their strategy to highlight Dublin's agricultural past, which includes cattle grazing.
"This provides the flexibility for someone to establish a working winery or another ag operation," said Linda Smith, Dublin's economic development director.
Almost all of the proposed 370 single-family homes would be built in an 80-acre area within he 226-acre project, according to a report by Dublin city planners.
Smith said town leaders have encouraged development plans in north Dublin that designate some of the land rural residential and agricultural.
There is no guarantee, however, that a homeowner will want to farm the property. "It's sort of left open to the marketplace," Smith said.
Dublin doesn't have many vineyards like neighboring Livermore, a major grape growing and winemaking center that attracts tourists. City officials, however, would like to encourage developments to have ties to agriculture.
"The goal of the project is to create the ambience of a new community built around the relics of historical agricultural use," city planners wrote in a report. "As a reflection of California's agrarian and ranch heritage, the project will feature vineyards, olive groves, dry stack stone walls and farmstead artifacts throughout the community to convey a historical farmstead legacy."
The Moller Ranch project is scheduled to come before the Dublin City Council Council on Dec. 18. The general plan amendment for the project is different from an earlier plan approved by the city in 2007. That version allowed for 195 single-family homes and 14 "duet," or paired, units.

Road the trail yesterday after riding Edwards.
Trail was in great shape.
Some of the nettles and burdock is getting pretty high on one of the burms. Glad others had already ridden through there to remove the needles! Couldn't see the trail very well through there. Could use some spray to keep that down.
That new Teepee structure is huge. Little high for me until I inspected it. Next time I'll do it. Wasn't ready for it this time and not sure I had the legs left over anyway.
I would like to see more structures or obstacles more towards the end of the trail. After a while I'm thinking "aren't I done yet" because it seems the trail starts to get redundant instead of "can't wait to get to this part next". Of course that is after coming off EC which is constantly throwing things at you so that might have skewed my perspective.
Overall a great trail. I love that I can ride both EC and Shearer and not have to get on the road with the Cages in between. That is so awesome.
Keep up the good work!

A rendering of the proposed North Augusta complex. (WRDW-TV)
AIKEN, S.C. (WRDW) -- It was a fiery standing-room-only meeting. The topic was the $150-million public-private project that would bring the Augusta GreenJackets to North Augusta along with a 225-room hotel, around four new restaurants, a YMCA and other things.
In this meeting, the Aiken County School Board allowed members of the public to voice their opinions.
"Why on Earth are they asking for TIF funds?" shouted one North Augusta resident who opposes the development.
Some, like Crissy Waters of North Augusta, were for it.
"This development could take North Augusta into the future, for our children and our children's children," she said.
Others, like Debbie Nix of Aiken, are strongly opposed.
"If it's going to be that great, put your own money on the line. Don't ask the taxpayer to put their money on the line," Nix said.
The project is being financed through something called a TIF, which stands for a Tax Increment Financing.
But what is a TIF?
"For example, you might have a parcel that is only generating $10,000 a year in property tax. If, after development, it's generating $100,000 a year in property tax, then that incremental 90 percent goes back to pay the public investment," said former Aiken County Councilman Gary Bunker to News 12 a couple weeks ago.
Ultimately, it means if the property is developed in North Augusta, some tax revenue would be diverted from the City of North Augusta, Aiken County and the Aiken County Public School District, which is why school board members invited the public for comment.
"A recent survey of chamber members indicated that 84.8 percent are somewhat or strongly in support of the proposed project," said Terra Carroll, president and CEO of the North Augusta Chamber of Commerce.
Some argued it's the deal North Augusta needs. They say the land will create more tax revenue once it's developed and more than 1,000 jobs, too.
"The greater eventual gains are for the school system and the community," said one supporter.
But there was plenty of opposition, too. Steve Donohue of the River Club HOA was most prominent. Critics have always had concerns about noise and traffic, but now they are concerned about the money the school district would lose.
"I personally think voting for this TIF will be political suicide for you guys if you want to pass anything in the future," Nix said. "Because what's going to happen is they're going to say, 'You wanted a stadium, and you used our money for a stadium, and now you're asking us for money to take care of the schools that you just gave away.'"
Since the TIF began back in the 1996, this amendment would simply extend the current TIF through 2046. Legally, the school board doesn't have to vote to approve or deny the change, since the physical footprint of the TIF is not expanding, but they probably will anyway.
If the project is successful, the City of North Augusta, Aiken County and the school board will reap the benefits by 2046. Theoretically, the property will earn more then than it is now, and the money that the school board won't collect during construction will be paid back then.
The school board will have to vote to approve or deny the TIF, if they choose, before mid-March.

To the Editor:
On Nov. 18, the Anderson County Commission gave the final local approval for the TIF (tax increment financing) funding plan for the Oak Ridge Mall redevelopment. I feel that we owe a big "thank you" to Ray Evans for his efforts as a consultant to the city manager to facilitate all the negotiations required to make this complicated project happen are "legion."
We should also thank City Manager Watson for hiring Ray for this important job. There were the usual nay-sayers in hiring Ray because the contract was somewhat general in nature so that Ray could respond to a wide range of activities. He first worked on the South Illinois development, then the Kroger Marketplace while beginning work with Croslands on the Mall project. So he has been "very busy" juggling all these balls.
Of course, Ray isn't the only one we should thank for all these successful retail developments. The Oak Ridge Chamber's Parker Hardy has been very active in coordinating the many contacts involved, plus the city's staff has also been very involved in the approval process.
Therefore I am glad that Mr. Evans resigned from City Council years ago and was available for his current job. Ray, keep up the good work!

Painter Richard Diebenkorn lived in San Francisco and in Berkeley. He went to Stanford and to Cal. His heroes were both the French painter Paul Cezanne and the Dutch-born avant-garde American Willem de Kooning. He didn't consider himself a landscape artist, yet when Life magazine discovered him in 1957, the headline read "Sweeping Patterns from California Fields."
Diebenkorn's earliest paintings were representational, sometimes suggesting Edward Hopper's work. Then he turned to abstraction. Then to representation again. Then to abstraction. He refused to fall into line. He was called a traitor when he added figures to his abstract images. One collector who'd bought his works telephoned to say, "You've ruined the value of my paintings!"
He was a working artist for 45 years, based mostly in Northern California, yet many art references identify him only by the abstract, geometric "Ocean Park" series he painted in Santa Monica over a 21-year period beginning in 1967. One art directory says Diebenkorn "remains difficult to categorize." That would suit him just fine.
A history in the Bay Area
The full scope of his life is suggested and superbly displayed in "Richard Diebekorn: The Berkeley Years, 1953-1966," which fills the lower-level galleries of the de Young Museum with dazzling color. More than 130 paintings and drawings have been assembled by curator Timothy Burgard from across the country, many of them rarely seen by the public.
While it would have made sense to include one of the "Ocean Park" paintings for contrast, the exhibit shows Diebenkorn's twists and turns -- from the abstraction of his numbered "Berkeley" paintings, through still lifes of mundane objects in his studios, to the large-scale works in which glum figures seem unaware of the blaze of color around them.
Diebenkorn, who was born in Portland in 1922 and died in Berkeley in 1993, came to prominence in the Bay Area in the early 1950s. It wasn't until the 1970s that he received true national and international recognition.
That may have been his choice. He was wary of the New York art establishment, even reluctant to be featured in Life. He remembered the magazine's "discovery" of Jackson Pollock and his action paintings, which pinned him with the label "Jack the dripper."
An 'oscillation'
Over the years, some critics agreed with Diebenkorn's notion that he wasn't shifting from one style to another -- instead, his paintings always hovered between abstraction and depiction.
Burgard, in an interview as the de Young exhibit was opening, describes it as an "oscillation." And you can almost see the conflicts in the paint, on the canvas. The subject was not as important to Diebenkorn as the way he worked it out: "I want the action to be in the painting."
In "The Berkeley Years," of course, visitors might expect some depictions of Berkeley and the Bay Area, but finding them is something of a game.
"View from the Porch," from 1959, is a panorama from Diebenkorn's home on Hillcrest Road in Berkeley. "Chabot Valley" is another somewhat recognizable scene. "Ingleside," a much bigger, more abstract canvas, recalls the neighborhood in San Francisco where he grew up. Yet he seldom painted anything close to photographic. For Diebenkorn, there was the specific environment, and then there was his own personal "sense of place."
Many of Diebenkorn's paintings during his Berkeley years are notable for dazzling blue water in the background, sometimes so bold that it overwhelms the figures in the foreground. But he wasn't standing with brushes and canvas in Emeryville or on Ocean Beach. "He had four studios in Berkeley, Burgard says, "and none of them had a view of the Bay."
Although he did paint what he saw from his porch, few of his works involved standing in front of a painting's subject. "The whole thing is a fiction," Burgard says.
Fiction, drama and mystery are present in the big figurative paintings, in which the human figure might be barely depicted, often from behind or with an obscured face. Diebenkorn described this change in his paintings in the mid-1950s as "the presence of a person as opposed to emptiness." But some settings still look empty. The glum, usually solitary figures don't seem aware of the blues, greens, yellows and purples that leap from the canvas.
Abstraction vs. depiction
The nearly 100 paintings (plus drawings) are deftly installed in the de Young's big galleries and present a tour through Diebenkorn's Berkeley years as well hints of what came before and what came later. A yellow collage from 1966 suggests a return to abstraction. What's more, the paintings' "oscillation" between abstract and figurative styles conveys much of the history of 20th-century art.
It's possible to stand in the center of the first gallery and, turning slowly, see 10 of his abstract, numbered "Berkeley" paintings from the mid-1950s, to ponder how they're similar, and different. With "Chabot Valley" (1955), it's possible to discern rooftops, windows, greenery, sky.
Two views of the same scene on Santa Cruz Island off the coast of Santa Barbara (both from 1958), are masterfully paired. One is a representational watercolor with graphite, the other a more abstract oil. It's the abstract painting that conveys more emotion.
"Cityscape #1" (1963), suggested by a hilly residential street in San Francisco, juxtaposes a row of houses with a grassy field across the street. They could be colliding, or on a fault line. (Another "Cityscape" was first titled "Landscape.")
Many of these works are challenging. Diebenkorn himself sometimes struggled through composition to completion.
"Abstract means literally to draw from or separate," Diebenkorn said in a statement posted in big letters high on a gallery wall. "In this sense, every artist is abstract ... a realistic or nonobjective approach makes no difference. The result is what counts."

Last year I paid $84 for NFL ST, 6 payment of $54 = $324 - $240 in credits = $84. And they threw in TO GO for free. The only problem this year if you say its too expensive, they may tell you to just get the cheaper package.
I'd bet that's exactly the reason they are going(?) to two-tiered pricing. Frankly, all I want to do is watch football. I don't want it on my cell phone, stats on the players' bathwater, or an edited version of each game, touchdowns only. But some do. And IF you do, they're going to gig you for it.
But like I say, this afternoon ignorance of this seems to reign, at least with the calls I made. Anyone actually order it at $199 yet?

Forty-one individuals have been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs in an intensified five-day San Joaquin County program that was to conclude at midnight Sunday.
No Fourth of July weekend traffic fatalities related to DUIs were reported in the county.
The annual deployment - which ran for just two days in 2012 - involved 10 county law enforcement agencies. Not all of those agencies' officials had reported their arrest totals by midnight Saturday.

Your RV must be connected, unless you want to run a generator all the time. That is why having the right power cords is important. The specs for you RV will tell you what kind of cord you need, which will make it easy if you find you have to replace any damaged part.

A grain dust explosion and fire have damaged part of a grain elevator in southeastern Minnesota, but no one was hurt.
A Dodge County sheriff's dispatcher says the blast was reported at Kasson's Greenway Co-op just before 2 p.m. Thursday.
Co-op general manager Tim Clemens tells the Post-Bulletin of Rochester (http://bit.ly/OYLjpN ) that damage from the fire is expected to be minimal.
The explosion happened in a "leg" that lifts corn. The leg is about 60 feet tall.
Firefighters from Kasson and Dodge Center responded.
The grain elevator was the focus of a $5.5 million expansion last year. Repairs are expected to be made in a day or two.

Hunting Prohibited
Children under 10 years of age are not allowed to hunt.
Junior Hunting License
Children at least 10 years of age and under 16 years of age must have a junior hunting license to hunt.
Hunters to be Accompanied
Junior hunters (10 years of age or older and under 16) may hunt with firearms ONLY in the presence of their parent or guardian or an adult who is at least 18 years of age. The person who accompanies a youth hunter is responsible for any violations committed by that hunter. Any person who accompanies a junior hunter, other than the parent or guardian, must either possess a valid Maine hunting license or have successfully completed a hunter education course. That presence must be unaided by visual or audio enhancement devices, including binoculars and citizen band radios.
A junior hunter who turns 16 years of age may continue hunting for that year with the junior license (see NOTE), but must complete the appropriate safety course prior to hunting without adult supervision. A junior hunter who turns 16 and continues hunting with a junior license must purchase waterfowl (Federal and State) and pheasant authorities.
The Resident Junior Hunting License includes all hunting permits including muzzleloading, spring and fall turkey, second spring turkey, bear, coyote night hunt and one expanded archery antlerless permit.
Note: Nonresident junior hunters still must pay for all above permits.
Archery Hunting
A Junior hunting license holder may hunt with bow and arrow when accompanied by an adult 18 years of age or older.
Juniors hunting during the expanded archery season must purchase the expanded archery permits.
Note: A resident junior hunting license includes one expanded archery antlerless permit.
Crossbow Hunting
A resident or nonresident 10 years of age or older and under 16 years of age may hunt with a crossbow if that person holds a valid junior hunting license (no crossbow license required). With a valid crossbow hunting license, a person may hunt bear with a crossbow during the open season on bear, and may hunt deer with a crossbow during the open firearm season on deer. (See restrictions on the use of crossbows.) The crossbow hunting license may not be used to hunt deer during the archery season, muzzleloading season, or expanded archery season (or in an expanded archery zone).
Youth Deer Hunting Day
Junior hunters (10 years of age or older and under 16) who hold a valid junior hunting license are allowed to take one deer of either sex (except in WMDs where no antlerless deer permits are issued; youth hunters are restricted to bucks only), with either a firearm, crossbow, or bow and arrow on the youth deer hunting day. If they shoot a deer on the youth deer hunting day, they are prohibited from taking any additional deer, unless they have been awarded a bonus antlerless-deer permit or participate in the expanded archery season (designated areas only) with appropriate expanded archery permits. The parent, guardian, or qualified adult shall not possess a firearm while accompanying a participating youth hunter. All laws pertaining to hunting during the open firearms season on deer apply on the youth deer day.
Regulations in red are new this year.

1/2" pipes are much more common and is the "norm" for all bathroom plumbing. You can use 3/4" but often times will need an adapter at some point.
Do the supply lines need to be 3/4" or is 1/2" acceptable

Is the Rule of Law a Law of Rules? Judgments of Rule of Law Violations

CELS 2009 4th Annual Conference on Empirical Legal Studies Paper
In this paper, we present findings from two experiments that measure individuals' reactions to rule of law violations by an authority figure, with the goal of assessing which interpretation of the rule of law is naturally invoked. We created a variety of hypothetical scenarios that allowed us to gauge the independent effects of rule adherence, outcome fairness, and the violator's intentions on the participants' judgments of the violation. We found that adherence to legitimate rules was considered desirable when those rules worked to produce a fair outcome. But when following legitimate rules would lead to an unfair outcome, our participants paid little attention to the rules and, in some cases, punished an individual for obeying the rules when those rules led to an unjust result. In our second experiment, we focused on studying this conflict within different contexts, finding again that our participants thought it appropriate for a judge to disregard the rules of evidence to ensure a fair verdict, and for a teacher to break a school's strict blind grading policy to ensure that students received fair grades. However, a third context revealed the formal rule of law at work: Our participants' responses indicated a clear preference for strict rule adherence by an umpire in a baseball game, even if it meant that one of the teams would unfairly suffer.

The Newton County Sheriff's Department recovered a stolen truck, construction equipment, log splitter and components of a meth lab after receiving a tip Tuesday, April 2.
Chief Deputy Chris Jennings said deputies found the stolen property at 12866 Klausen Lane, in rural Neosho.
Authorities arrested Tim Sargent, of the home.
"We got a tip actually from Jasper County," Jennings said. "They had received a tip that the stolen property was at this location."
Sargent, 49, was arrested and charged with unlawful use of drug paraphernalia, a class D felony, and with possession of chemicals with intent to manufacture, a class C felony.
Jennings said no charges have been filed yet regarding the stolen items.
He said the truck, a 2004 Chevy, was stolen from Fort Scott, Kan., while the 2002 model Caterpillar Skid Steer was taken in Jasper County, and the log splitter was stolen out of Joplin.
"There were components of a meth lab, it wasn't operational at the time, we did locate that in a vehicle on the property," Jennings said.
According to Missouri CaseNet, Sargent plead not guilty to the charges and has been referred to a public defender.
He is scheduled to appear before Newton County Judge Gregory Stremel for a pre-trial conference at 9 a.m. Tuesday, April 23.

sage live review from the wire
just thought you'd like to know about a small review of sage live at an outdoor festival in barcelona not long ago..... it's in the august 2003 issue of the wire....
"Sage Francis emerges for a solo set accompanied only be his faithful backing tracks on CD. Before a word has been spoken, he strips off his jacket, cloaks himself in a stars and stripes flag on which the stars have been replaced by familiar corporate logos, and proceeds to lash himself with his own belt. Francis's set is all about atonement: in an hour of excoriation, he makes a direct apology for the actions of his own President, and raps about various aspects of betrayal: by government, by his ex-wife, by HipHop itself. Rarely does rap achieve such edgy, psychotic and self-mocking states."
there is also a picture of mr. francis rocking the mic......

A Randolph resident, Dr. Milt Fowler had been an internal medicine physician in the region for 36 years. Originally from Indianapolis, Dr. Fowler helped create the Rochester Health Center. He practiced there and in Randolph for 29 years. In 2005, he transitioned to practicing only at Gifford internal medicine in Randolph.
Married with two sons and two grandchildren, Dr. Fowler enjoys traveling and woodworking. It is his relationships with patients that have kept him serving the community where he lives and works for more than three decades.
Below is his story as told in his own words, as featured in our 2012 Annual Report.
"Nearing the end of my medical training and beginning the search for practice opportunities brought my attention to a medical journal ad placed by Phil Levesque, then CEO of Gifford. During the recruitment process, Phil and his wife Sandy's hospitality and vision for Gifford were all the convincing I needed. That was more than 36 years ago, and we (my family along with the Jewetts and DiNicolas, who all came at the same time) are still here. None of us could have anticipated being here this long, or enjoying the richness of the Gifford family, or the beauty and talent of the people of central Vermont as much as we have.
During those years, we have had the rare privilege of being part of the joy and sometimes tragedy of so many lives. All of our lives are connected in some way in this community, and the honor of caring for your neighbors and friends is difficult to fully articulate. It is a privilege. An office visit isn't just caring for an illness in a stranger. In a small town, you are caring for someone whose family you know and about whose life history you are familiar.
Donald Dustin of Braintree is just one example. A furniture maker, he had donated a beautiful Shaker clock to a local church auction. The craftsmanship was notable and at the end of his next office appointment, I asked him if he would mentor me on woodworking. "Of course I would. When do we start?" was his reply. Then followed months of his tutoring, nudging, and pushing. It was during this time that he developed terminal cancer. We kept working together in his shop, and he often called asking, "Where the heck are you? We've got work to do." We continued our clock project with Donald sitting in his wheelchair, barking orders, cigar smoke swirling around his head. The clock's face was painted by Bill Olivet, another talented patient. "Our clock" is at my home in my study.
Unforgettable was also Rochester summer resident and professional violist 90-year-old Marguerite Schenkman who fell and sustained a large laceration to her scalp just before a concert at the Park House. At the Rochester clinic, she refused to be sutured before the concert. We wrapped her head in a gauze turban to control the bleeding, attended her concert, then repaired the wound after the Beethoven pieces were complete.
Or how could one forget 90-year-old Priscilla Carpenter walking to her appointment the afternoon of the famous Valentine's Day snowstorm? She climbed over snow banks to get to her visit with a warm pecan pie in hand, which she slyly placed on my office desk.
It is experiences like these that make the daily stress of practicing so rich. It is what drew us and has kept us here. What a privilege."
~ Milt Fowler, M.D.

mac the ripper can only remove the protection from the original dvd, it can not rip dvd to mp4 avi and other videos to ipod iphone etc.. below is the guide:
good app but crashes quite often
Also see MacTheRipper 3.
MTR3 will be distributed freely pending development completion. It should be noted, however, that MTR3 has been in Private Beta phase since April 30th 2006, leading some to speculate that the developer's intentions are to keep it in Private Beta phase indefinitely, as this allows him to collect fees without having to call his software shareware.
"The comment "This perpetual "closed beta" is starting to smell funny." is both unfair and unkind. The 1 (one) time donation for R&D does not make MTR 3.x beta less free than the 2.6.6 version."
This makes no sense, if you MUST make a donation, it is NOT free, so it most certainly DOES make it less free. And it will be a cold day in hell when I PAY to beta test anything, which is why I use a Mac running OS X and not a PC running Windows. IF they complete MTR 3 and release it and the new version is worth a whit and they want money for it THEN, then at THAT time, I will consider buying it. But not now. And there is NO difference between a required donation and a selling price.
Cheese and bread! What kind of weird-a** thinking created that post.
@fairuse09 : I'm confused. How can you say that requiring a "donation" for access to a program (the 3.0 beta) doesn't make it less free than freeware (the 2.6.6 release)? Free is free. "Required donation" is not. This seems pretty clear cut to me, but maybe there's some subtlety that I'm missing...
As for the accusation that I'm being unfair, let's examine the facts. Going from 1.5.6 to 2.0 (a complete rewrite, they say) took 2 months. Going from 2.2.6 to 3.0 has taken over 2 years. Doesn't that seem a little bit odd? Even if you start the clock at Apr. 30, 2006 (the date the beta was announced, according to the sidebar of their website) you're still talking about well over a year in beta! But hey, who can blame the developers? The minute they release 3.0 their donation income vanishes! Sounds like a pretty strong counter-incentive to me.
But hey, I'd love to be proven wrong! It's pretty easy, just show me the release. I'll gladly retract all of the above if 3.0 is released in the near future. But I'm sure not going to hold my breath.
The comment "This perpetual "closed beta" is starting to smell funny." is both unfair and unkind. The 1 (one) time donation for R&D does not make MTR 3.x beta less free than the 2.6.6 version. The work going into handling the new methods that keep someone from backing up their disk is enough to justify making r3.x very pricey. As far as it is known -- MTR 3.x when public is and will be free. - I am a tester so I will advise: 3.0r14 is - incomplete
MTR is a very useful, well-written app. However, the "freeware" label is deceptive. You can download a 2 year old version for free, while the latest version is in "closed beta." You can get in on the beta by paying. That would be fine if there was an end in sight for the beta, but it's lasted for ages now.
If the authors want to write commercial software and make money selling it then fine, so be it, but just call it commercial software. This perpetual "closed beta" is starting to smell funny.
This link below is for the universal binary version (version 3.0r14b.zip file)
@talguy : check out dvd2onex (www.dvd2one.com) for compression--it is a great solution for compressing movies to fit a single DVD-R, or to even take the movie only out of a full feature rip. also makes it easy to remove other audio tracks to help reduce the size.

In fact, that trend continues to grow daily, as more and more consumers learn of the benefits so many have already experienced. Keeping in mind that the gluten-free diet's main and original purpose is to accommodate the dietary needs of those with Celiacs disease or gluten sensitivity, the diet has now been embraced by those not suffering from these conditions.
Gluten-free eating has been credited with weight loss, improved general health and increased energy. While it may appear difficult to incorporate into an existing lifestyle, thousands have attested to the idea that it's actually a lot easier than it initially appears, especially with the introduction of so many gluten-free food products on our grocery shelves. Now there's a new reason to consider gluten-free.
New experiments on mice show, that mouse mothers can protect their pups from developing type 1 diabetes by eating a gluten-free diet. According to preliminary studies by researchers at the University of Copenhagen, the findings may apply to humans.
More than 1% of the Danish population has type 1 diabetes, one of the highest incidence rates in the world. New experiments on mice now show a correlation between the health of the pups and their mothers eating a gluten-free diet. Our hope is that the disease may be prevented through simple dietary changes, the researchers say.
"Preliminary tests show that a gluten-free diet in humans has a positive effect on children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes. We therefore hope that a gluten-free diet during pregnancy and lactation may be enough to protect high-risk children from developing diabetes later in life," says assistant professor Camilla Hartmann Friis Hansen from the Department of Veterinary Disease Biology, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences.
Findings from experiments on mice are not necessarily applicable to humans, but in this case we have grounds for optimism, says co-writer on the study professor Axel Kornerup from the Department of Veterinary Disease Biology, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences.
"Early intervention makes a lot of sense because type 1 diabetes develops early in life. We also know from existing experiments that a gluten-free diet has a beneficial effect on type 1 diabetes," he says.
Experiments of this type have been going on since 1999, originally initiated by Professor Karsten Buschard from the Bartholin Institute at Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen, another co-writer on the study.
"This new study beautifully substantiates our research into a gluten-free diet as an effective weapon against type 1 diabetes," Karsten Buschard explains.
The experiment showed that the diet changed the intestinal bacteria in both the mother and the pups. The intestinal flora plays an important role for the development of the immune system as well as the development of type 1 diabetes, and the study suggests that the protective effect of a gluten-free diet can be ascribed to certain intestinal bacteria. The advantage of the gluten-free diet is that the only side-effect seems to be the inconvenience of having to avoid gluten, but there is no certain evidence of the effect or side-effects.
"We have not been able to start a large-scale clinical test to either prove or disprove our hypothesis about the gluten-free diet," says Karsten Buschard.
Assistant Professor Camilla Hartmann Friis Hansen is hoping that it will be possible to continue the work.
"If we find out how gluten or certain intestinal bacteria modify the immune system and the beta-cell physiology, this knowledge can be used to develop new treatments," she says.
FoodFacts.com looks forward to more research on the health benefits of the gluten-free diet. We do think that as research continues, more will be discovered. After all, so many gluten-free consumers who state that they're enjoying better health, more energy and healthy weight loss can't simply be imagining their results. We think there's more than meets the eye for a gluten-free lifestyle and we're excited to learn more about its positive health effects.

Nowadays i am making oats buttermilk porridge and oats- wheat rava idly for my hubby very often. I wanted to try some other simple and yummy dish with oats. Last weekend i tried this for our breakfast . I got this recipe from aval vikatan supplementary. It was very nice. The actual recipe called for grinding , fermenting and all. But i made an instant paniyaram with little left over idli/dosa batter. The taste was awesome. It was like the usual one we make with idli batter.We loved it. Try this and let me know.I've also written the actual recipe at the end of the post.Please have a look at it.
- Dry roast oats for few minutes and grind to make a fine powder.
- Mix idly batter and powdered oats with the required salt and water. The batter should not be too thick.
- Temper all the items given above and mix in the batter.
- Take a non-stick paniyaram pan and pour the batter. Drizzle little oil if necessary.
- Cover and cook for sometime. Flip and cook the other side for few mins.
- This paniyaram would be very soft inside . So dont think its uncooked. It cooks very fast just like our normal paniyaram . Just cover and cook in sim fire for sometime. Its enough.
- I dont like the smell of oats to be dominant here . So i've added equal quantity of oats and idly batter. U can lesser the amount of idli batter and try.
- Sometimes the sourness of batter may reduce if u add oats. Add little sour curd if needed.
The same ingredients as mentioned above.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day as it can affect mood and energy level for the entire day. And the best way to start your day is Oatmeal. Oatmeal has long ranked among the best foods for fighting cholesterol. A single bowl of oatmeal provides all essential nutrients like complexcarbohydrates, B vitamins, fiber, and minerals such as phosphorous, iron, selenium, and calcium.
The Oat (Avena sativa) was originally cultivated in southern Europe some 5000 years ago. Hippocrates wrote that oats made into porridge or gruel (a thin porridge) is refreshing and helps hydration. During wars, the Scottish soldiers use to carry a bag of oatmeal as a source of strength. They also believed that it could build and regenerate bones andligaments.
We are all aware of the high fiber content of Oats but very few people know about the other benefits of Oats. These include:
Be sure that you have a bowl of oatmeal every morning. Your body will thank you for it!

It is fitting that the 1969 Nobel Prize for literature went to the Irish playwright and novelist Samuel Beckett. After all, in works such as "Waiting for Godot" and "Endgame," Beckett alternated between tragedy and comedy, drama and farce.
The same could be said about 1969.
It has now been 40 years since that eventful year which gave us Woodstock, the moon landing, the Manson family and revelations about a massacre in a Vietnamese village called My Lai.
But 1969 was also a decisive year in Irish-American history. That year, it seemed as if Irish Americans in Chicago and New York, California and Philadelphia were fighting their own civil war. The causes of the conflict were religious, generational and geographic. Whatever the cause, these conflicts made for quite a crazy year.
Troubles in Belfast and the Bronx
Most importantly, the Troubles in Northern Ireland reached a boiling point in August of 1969, with the clashes that came to be known as the Battle of the Bogside. Support for Catholic civil rights in Northern Ireland was initially strong in America. But then a new generation of Northern Ireland activists toured America and challenged Irish-American Catholics to look closely at what was going on in their own homeland.
Similarly, in 1969, when legendary New York journalist Jimmy Breslin served as fellow author Norman Mailer's running mate in the race to be New York's mayor, many assumed the semi-comical run could get some serious attention. It was believed that Mailer would appeal to the intellectual elite while Breslin would win the votes of Irish Americans and other ethnic Catholics.
That thinking went out the window, however, when Breslin was greeted with derision in, of all places, the Bronx's Gaelic Park.
Also in 1969, the great Irish-American political clan – the Kennedys – remained in the spotlight just one year after Bobby was gunned down. In July, a strange new word –"Chappaquiddick" – was suddenly on everyone's lips, especially those who looked to sink the once-promising career of Ted Kennedy. A few months later, Ted's father, Joe Kennedy Sr., passed away at the age of 81.
And that was not the only loss Irish America suffered that fateful year. An aspiring author with the all-too-fitting name of John Kennedy Toole killed himself in March.
Toole's mother made it her mission to turn her son's grimy manuscript, about an Irish New Orleans misfit named Ignatius J. Reilly, into a published novel. That novel, of course, was A Confederacy of Dunces, for which Toole was posthumously awarded the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1980.
John Wayne and McSorley's
True, 1969 wasn't all about death and conflict.
Famed actor John Wayne (born Marion Morrison) spent his career making classic films with fellow Irish American John Ford, among them The Quiet Man. In 1969, Wayne finally won a Best Acting Academy Award for his role in True Grit.
But mostly, 1969 was the year Irish America faced disorienting change. If events in Northern Ireland didn't make that clear, then events at a humble pub with sawdust-covered floors, on East Seventh Street in Manhattan, did.
It was in 1969 that a group of women challenged the century-old policy of allowing only men into what is often described as America's oldest Irish pub, McSorley's Old Ale House.
What a year. Even Samuel Beckett could not have made this stuff up.
By far, the biggest news in Irish America was the explosion of violence in Northern Ireland in 1969. The hot summer turned bloody in mid-August during the annual Apprentice Boys march in Derry, which was seen as a celebration of Protestant domination. Catholics and Protestants clashed, and when the Royal Ulster Constabulary intervened, the infamous Battle of the Bogside ensued.
The battle was just one episode during the year that spurred nationalist Catholics to organize and fight their status as second-class citizens.
Not surprisingly, Irish America mobilized behind the North's Catholic civil rights movement.
Bernadette Devlin tours America
Irish America had always played an integral role in the fight for justice in Ireland. And so, just as John Devoy and Eamon de Valera did in the past, a new generation of Irish nationalists toured the U.S. to drum up support for their cause.
But 1969 was different. That became clear when 22-year-old Bernadette Devlin came to the U.S. in August.
The telegenic firebrand – the youngest person ever elected to British Parliament – seemed ready to woo Irish America with her reports of Catholic oppression in Northern Ireland. But Devlin wanted to speak out against all injustice – including the ongoing segregation of African Americans in the U.S. Devlin criticized the likes of Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, the Ancient Order of Hibernians and even the Catholic Church.
Devlin argued that Daley and many other Irish-American power brokers either ignored or contributed to social inequality in the U.S. Perhaps most shockingly, she compared many Irish-American leaders to the Orangemen in Northern Ireland who repressed Catholics.

Historical Version(s) - view previous versions of standard
Significance and Use
Historical Overview—Earthen building systems have been used throughout the world for thousands of years. Adobe construction dates back to the walls of Jericho which was built around 8300 B.C. Many extant earthen structures have been functioning for hundreds of years. However, with the development of newer building materials, earthen building systems have fallen into disfavor in parts of the world where they were once commonly used. At the same time, earthen construction is experiencing a revival in the industrialized world, driven by a number of factors.
Sustainability—As world population continues to rise and people continue to address basic shelter requirements, it becomes increasingly necessary to promote construction techniques with less life cycle impact on the earth. Earthen building systems are one type of technique that may have a favorable life cycle impact.
1. Scope
1.1 This standard provides guidance for earthen building systems, also called earthen construction, and addresses both technical requirements and considerations for sustainable development. Earthen building systems include adobe, rammed earth, cob, cast earth, and other earthen building technologies used as structural and non-structural wall systems.
Note 1—Other earthen building systems not specifically described in these guidelines, as well as domed, vaulted, and arched earthen structures as are common in many areas, can also make use of these guidelines when consistent with successful local building traditions or engineering judgment.
1.1.1 There are many decisions in the design and construction of a building that can contribute to the maintenance of ecosystem components and functions for future generations. One such decision is the selection of products for use in the building. This guide addresses sustainability issues related to the use of earthen wall building systems.
1.1.2 The considerations for sustainable development relative to earthen wall building systems are categorized as follows: materials (product feedstock), manufacturing process, operational performance (product installed), and indoor environmental quality (IEQ).
1.1.3 The technical requirements for earthen building systems are categorized as follows: design criteria, structural and non-structural systems, and structural and non-structural components.
1.2 Provisions of this guide do not apply to materials and products used in architectural cast stone (see Specification C1364).
1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.

Reina happy at liverpool
Apparently Reina is happy at Liverpool (because it is the best team ever) but has a chance to move to clubs like Barcelona if they want to sign him. If you were Reina what would you do???Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
If I was Pepe, I would do exactly what he is doing, stay at the club and fight for my place until such a time comes as Barcelona (my boyhood club) come in for me, then perhaps I can walk out the front door with my head held high and leave Liverpool a legend and in (excuse the pun) safe hands. The other option for next summer is Athletico Madrid, unless Chelsea are going to loan Courtois to them for a 14th consecutive season!

I concur.. if I were Reina I'd stay until Barca come knocking and leave knowing I'd left LFC as EPL champions.. and be very proud.. then look back at the happy memories.
Especially now Liverpool have signed Mignolet.

3 trombones and a tuba accompanies us as we enjoy the famous tale of the two scallywags' seven boyish pranks. We hear the frantic flapping of Widow Bolte's chickens, which we then steal from her frying pan using a fishing rod. Tailor Böck, Teacher Lämpel Uncle Fritz and Master Baker, too, all fall victim to Max and Moritz until finally - with a "Rickeracke!" Rickeracke!" - the pair are fed into Master Müller's mill and the rascals are no more! The kids are guaranteed a great concert experience and, sitting on their cushions right in front of the musicians, will soon know how a trombone works.

This is a very well-played show, and arguably a very important early show in Phishtory. Selling out a 650 person venue is pretty huge, after all! The band proceeds to deliver a very solid show with no noticeable flubs or problems. I imagine that this show must have blown several minds at the time, but there's really nothing notable to be found here for the seasoned listener. The fast Sanity is pretty funny, though. I can't remember ever hearing it before listening to this show.
I guess if you've come looking for highlights, the aforementioned Sanity would be a good one. The Divided Sky also soars pretty high this go-around. The GTBT is explosive, too, for those of us who enjoy shredfests.
