We have been verbally abused. We do not think the puppy even belonged to Mrs Wartena. We think Mrs Wartena may act as a broker for other breeders in her area.The paperwork had someone elses name on it. Another address she has is 3323 Groveland Way, Antelope. We have found several addresses listed for this puppymill: Roseville, Antelope,Citrus Heights, Highland Heights.
As Davis brought up, there are several addresses, phone numbers and other people involved in this scam.Current phone #s listed are 916-534-3530 and 916-722-5582. Other phone #s listed in ads in the past have been 916-338-3600 and 916-334-3612 and 916-648-8464 and 916-722-2440. Our investigation shows these folks move often from city to city and even state to state so how would buyers be able to file suits against any of them? It is true what Davis said about shocking criminal records in this group and how nice Mrs Wartena was BEFORE the sale. She has learned over the years how to fool others.
If you have one REAL current address where she actually lives , not the many addresses where she just floats around meeting buyers PLEASE let us know.

First off if the dog had any parasites then should of been detected when you took the dog to the vet after you got it. I went to the website you say you got your puppy from since you mentioned the health warranty since CA has one heck of a tough lemon law and it clearly states you must take your puppy in with 72 hours. Did you fail to do that? If you had then coccidia and gardia (sp) would of been detected don't you think? And medication would of been prescribed. If you had not abided by the warranty do you think the breeder is at fault? I think you are. Here is the warranty part you forgot to read:
To qualify for the limited health guarantee, you must have your puppy examined by a licensed veterinarian of your choice within 72 hrs of the date of receipt of the puppy. (Starts at shipping or time of pick-up) Loose stools can be casued by stress of traveling and change of diet. please remember to take a fecal sample with you to the vet to eliminate any and all parasite possibilities.

Next Steps in Syria: A Dutch View
European Union foreign ministers agreed to tighten sanctions Friday on the people around President Bashar al-Assad, including his wife who is a British citizen. What now?
Speaking after the meeting in an interview in Brussels, Uri Rosenthal, the Dutch Foreign Minister, outlined three main approaches to further increase the pressure on the regime while former United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan plows on with his peace mission.
- Extend the sanctions to other members of the Assad clan and persuade other countries to join the sanctions effort.
- Encourage defections.
- Provide communications and other equipment to the opposition.
On sanctions, he said the efforts should focus on the regime and avoid, where possible, hurting a population already suffering. "We are not only talking about the wife and family members of Assad we are also talking about extending the sanctions to other members of his clan. The whole story is about squeezing and isolating the regime.
"What we are looking for is continuously refine and sharpen sanctions to give them teeth."
The effort to bring more countries on board with sanctions could advance, he said, with the second meeting of the "Friends of Syria" group, scheduled for April 1 in Istanbul, which follows the first such gathering in Tunis in February. Russia and China boycotted the Tunis meeting, but Mr. Rosenthal said: "We should be keen on getting the Russians and the Chinese, but especially the Russians, on board."
Mr. Rosenthal said some defections have already taken place, and some European officials say the Assad regime has detained family members of potential senior defectors
"We have to encourage defections by military men, by intelligence people, by bureaucratic officials, civil servants also on the part of businessmen, and we have to be operational about it… diplomats too. We have to plan for that," Mr. Rosenthal said.
Defectors "should be received with sympathy and support. Of course when you say to people that we would encourage defections, we have to take account of their safety and security and also that of their families."
He suggested Libya could act as a template, for example to encourage Syrian pilots to defect. "At a certain moment in the conflict in Libya, we encouraged, for instance, air force pilots of the Libyan air force to defect. Then you have literally to be protective of them when they get to an airport outside of their country, they have to be accepted and assured that they won't be sent back."
Mr. Rosenthal said the Netherlands opposed sending in weapons to aid the opposition in Syria. But other material would help more.
He said his and other European governments want to "help opposition forces as much as we can, not with arms and other military instruments, but with what they are dearly longing for: communications facilities, to be very practical, laptops, technological devices to secure their access to the Internet for communication among themselves and communication with the outside world."
"As one member of the opposition said, we can't fight them with our weapons; we will lose. But we can fight them on the Internet."

Warmth and moisture south of the front flowed northward, and was forced aloft by a wedge of cooler air over the northern counties. This created clouds and storm clouds, and widespread precipitation across the northwest half of the state by the late afternoon/evening. Given nearly saturated soil conditions (with nowhere for water to go), Flash Flood Warnings were issued for large areas.
By 700 am CDT on the 2nd, two day rainfall totals jumped to more than a foot in places. A whopping 12.52 inches was measured at Marche (Pulaski County), with up to 12.00 inches at Maumelle (Pulaski County) and 10.50 inches just southeast of Mayflower (Faulkner County). There were numerous reports of more than four inches.
The White River was slow to drain because it flows into an already high Mississippi River. On the 2nd, the flow rate of the Mississippi River at Memphis, TN was over 1,000,000 cubic feet per second (cfs). In 2008, the flow was only 300,000 cfs.
Overflowing tributaries endangered homes and businesses. As of the morning of the 2nd, emergency management advised people to evacuate along the White River at Des Arc and Biscoe (both in Prairie County). More evacuations took place in Jacksonport (Jackson County) by evening.
Travel was also affected. U.S. Highway 67/167 was closed between Sherwood and Jacksonville (Pulaski County) through the 3rd/early on the 4th. Water from the White River was over U.S. Highway 70 at DeValls Bluff (Prairie County), and also over Highway 36 at Georgetown (White County). At the latter location, this is the only road out of town...leaving the town isolated.
On the 4th, the White River was high enough to close the westbound lanes of Interstate 40 in eastern Prairie County (at mile marker 202). The eastbound lanes were closed by the evening of the 5th. Traffic was diverted onto surrounding highways to avoid flooding. The detours involved 50 to 100 miles of extra driving.
There was some severe weather on the 1st, and mainly hail was produced. Golfball size hail fell near Wye (Perry County) and at Cleveland (Conway County), with quarter size hail at Benton and Bryant (both in Saline County), Murfreesboro (Pike County), Norfork (Baxter County) and Russellville (Pope County).
While damage reports are somewhat uncommon in colder air well north of a front, a barn was destroyed and trees and power lines were downed near Center Ridge (Conway County). A tornado (rated EF1) was confirmed in the area. A few trees were toppled near Wonderview (Conway County) by damaging straight-line winds.

New National Heritage Listings
Federal Minister for Environment, Heritage and the Arts, Peter Garrett, added four new sites to the National Heritage List earlier this month.
WA's Porongurup National Park, Queensland's Elizabeth Springs and South Australia's Dalhousie Springs were all added, while another section of Tasmania's historic Cascades Female Factory Women's Prison was also listed.
The new sites bring the number of National Heritage listed areas and items to 86.
Mr Garrett said heritage listing was important for telling Australians about our history.
"To select sites like Dalhousie Springs, Porongurup National Park and sites of really great importance to Australia is done because our heritage is really important to us as Australians," he said.
"It lets us know who we are as a people and gives us a sense of where we can go as well."
To celebrate National Heritage, a new 10 week television mini-documentary series called Australia's Heritage: National Treasures is currently being aired on the ABC.
The series was put together by Screen Australia and the Department of Environment, Heritage and the Arts in collaboration with the ABC.
Hosted by the Chaser's Chris Taylor the series visits 10 of Australia's most famous heritage sites and objects, including WA's own Fremantle Prison and the Batavia shipwreck ruins, and provides an overview of their importance to our history.
Mr Garrett said the show would introduce a whole new generation of Australians to their country's heritage.
"The series showcases the places, the objects and the stories that reveal the richness of Australia's Indigenous, natural and historic heritage in an entertaining and easily accessible way," he said.
"Making history accessible to Aussies, presenting it in a way which is entertaining and informative, is really, really important and this is going to be a fantastic series."
The series also has an accompanying website, which offers users the opportunity to view episodes from the series, find the sites and objects discussed on maps and learn additional facts about them.
Australia's Heritage: National Treasures can be seen at 6.50pm Thursdays on ABC1.
For more information on WA's Porongurup National Park visit the Porongurup Promotion Association website.

West Hills Theatre
1625 Queen City Avenue,
2 people favorited this theater
The West Hills Theatre opened around 1942 and was still operating in 1950.
Although still recognizable as a theater, the West Hills Theatre looks like it's had a hard go of it lately, like much of the surrounding neighborhood.
Recent comments (view all 5 comments)
West Hills Cinema built 1941 and closed in 1962,seated 625,may have had a balcony. Today it's an American Van Lines Moving Company. It was gutted after 1962 to become a moving firm. Its rear exterior still shows where the sound speakers jutted out behind a movie screen.
This entire area is to be redeveloped into a water stream in 2015 so most of the structures for 2 whole miles in this area will disappear.
This water stream conversion is to accomidate the old sewer system which becomes overburdened with street water run off and sewerage during heavy storms.The transformation will create a parklike setting for a full two miles in this area.
With a backhoe parked at its rear wall, can demolition be far away? The large Weil Thoman moving company has removed its numerous vans and itself from this property .

Iran, big power nuclear talks hit snag on centrifuge research, Reuters
Negotiations between Iran and six world powers on implementing a landmark November deal to freeze parts of Tehran's nuclear program in exchange for easing some sanctions have run into problems over advanced centrifuge research, diplomats said. Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs Wendy Sherman will be in Geneva today to discuss the issue with her European Union counterpart, Helga Schmid, and Iran's negotiator, Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi.
Kerry to update Arab League on Israel-Palestinian talks, Times of Israel
On Saturday, Secretary of State Kerry will travel to Paris and then to Kuwait to meet with representatives of the Arab League's Arab Peace Initiative committee to discuss the ongoing peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians.
Netanyahu wants to say 'yes' to Kerry, but without anyone noticing, Haaretz
Barak Ravid reports that Prime Minister Netanyahu now spends most of his time agonizing over Kerry's developing framework agreement, seeking a way to accept it without destroying his coalition. "In the coming weeks," says Ravid, President Obama "will become personally involved in Kerry's effort. He will have to approve the framework agreement before Kerry can officially present it, and he won't accept a weak, superficial document. Obama wants a meaty, substantive proposal."
The myth of an undivided Jerusalem is collapsing under its own weight, Guardian
Daniel Seidemann argues, "The myth of 'undivided Jerusalem' is collapsing under the weight of its own fictions. Should the Kerry initiative – the last, best hope for the two-state solution – end in failure, Jerusalem will degenerate into the epicentre of a festering conflict, the arena of recurrent rounds of convulsive violence. But should, against all odds, these talks end in agreement, a new Jerusalem, rooted in its genuine political and urban realities, will emerge: a politically divided, bi-national city, the respective capitals of Israel and Palestine – which is the sine qua non of any permanent status agreement."
Israel Targets Gaza Militants After Mortar Attack, Associated Press
The Israeli military said it has attacked targets in the Gaza Strip after militants in the territory fired mortars into Israel. The military said the air force hit "terrorists in Gaza as they were preparing to launch rockets toward Israel" on Thursday. The Gaza Health Ministry said two men were wounded when a drone fired at their motorcycle.

Papal visit to include 'political dimension', Times of Israel
Pope Francis's first visit to the Middle East in May will include a "political dimension," the Latin patriarch of Jerusalem said Wednesday, in the wake of the Vatican's announcement of the papal visit earlier this week.
Fatah proposes unity government plan to Hamas, Ma'an
The Fatah reconciliation team has made a proposal to Hamas regarding a national unity government, stipulating that Abbas will set dates for new presidential and legislative elections. Gaza Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh requested time to discuss the proposal with other Hamas officials.
Opinion and Analysis
Even if Netanyahu agrees to a deal, Likud is unlikely to back him, Haaretz
Carlo Strenger says that "Israel's liberals have no choice but to give [Netanyahu] the backing he needs if he really wants to take the steps that could save Israel as the democratic homeland of the Jews by genuinely cooperating with Kerry's drive toward peace."
Who incites more Palestinian hatred: Abbas or Netanyahu?, Haaretz
According to Peter Beinart, "When it comes to combating the incitement that leads Palestinians to hate, Netanyahu need not wait for Abbas. He can start with himself."
Hillel's Battle Over the Meaning of 'Pro-Israel', Forward
"No single definition can, under these conditions, demarcate for the community what it means to be pro-Israel," writes Brent Sasley. "The national Hillel will have to recognize and adapt to this reality."
Jewish settler 'price tag' vigilantes will ignite next intifada in West Bank, Jerusalem Post

Peak adult weevil populations occur in summer and early fall, and some may overwinter. Female weevils may feed for an extended period before laying eggs, and many species produce viable eggs without mating. Eggs are laid in soil near the base of plants about 4 to 6 weeks after adults have emerged. A single female may lay as many as 500 eggs. Eggs hatch into legless, white grubs that feed on roots. The larvae develop in soil through 6 instars over a period of 2 to 8 months. They are whitish grubs with a brown head and commonly have a C-shaped posture.
Black vine weevil overwinters primarily as a late-instar larva. A few individuals of this and other species can overwinter as adults. Weevils overwintering as late instars form pupae in spring. Adult weevils emerge in late spring or summer and feed on the foliage of host plants at night. Adults do not fly, but may crawl into new plantings from nearby native plants, ornamentals, blackberries, or second-year strawberries.

Protestors face off against each other across a gap created by Murrieta police outside the Border Patrol station in that city on Friday. At center is Lupillo Rivera, a grammy award-winning artist, who was spit on during a town hall meeting earlier this week. On the Fourth of July, protestors on both side of the migration issue rallied in front of the Murrieta Border Patrol headquarters in case new busloads of migrant children arrived again. About 100 people stood behind a tape away from the entrance to the station, most of them supporters of caring for the migrants, while about a block away, some 50 protestors who want the children sent home occupied a different intersection in case the buses came that way..

A city's bank accounts may have been compromised and some say by it's own mayor!
The city of Cumberland's mayor tells WYMT what happened and how he thought it was going to help the city.
Outgoing Cumberland Mayor Carl Hatfield says he was tired of getting complaints that the city wasn't being completely upfront about finances.
"The amounts of money in our accounts are to be seen by anyone and they can come down to city hall anytime they want to," Hatfield said.
But Hatfield wanted to make it even easier. He released the login name and password for an online BB&T account in a notice broadcast over the local access cable channel last Wednesday.
Councilwoman Loretta Cornett will soon take over as Cumberland's mayor.
She says she's worried what effect the mayor's actions may have on the city.
"There were some things in there that really could hurt our city," Cornett said.
Mayor Hatfield says he realized hours after his notice went out that anyone logging on to the city's account could actually transfer funds from one city account to another. He says that's when he changed the password.
"No damage done or no money lost just a matter of trying to provide the people with info they should be aware of," Hatfield said.
BB&T officials say you can't take any money out using an online account, but bank account numbers are displayed and that worries the incoming mayor.
"What could happen between now and january or two years from now," Cornett said.
That's something that bothers Cornett, who says she just wants to get off to a good start as mayor.
Current Mayor Hatfield says he decided to change the city's bank account numbers after BB&T urged him to do so.

PIEDMONT -- Let there be light.
Thanks to a $5,000 donation from the Piedmont Garden Club, the entry pillar will be lit. The historic pillar built around 1911 has never had light in the lantern atop the pillar at the junction of Grand and Lower Grand avenues.
"This (donation) makes the whole project possible," park commissioner Patty Siskind said at the April 3 meeting.
"It will light up that corner and make it safer," she said.
Siskind has been leading the campaign to refurbish the pillar that's taken a beating from careless drivers who have plowed down its landscaping and run into the pillar careening through the junction.
Lisa Tuck, of the garden club, said the club reviewed several civic projects in need of funding and gave the pillar lighting priority.
"I pass it every day," she said. "It has a real reason (to be funded)."
Neighborhood meetings have been held to gauge support for the project, parks manager Mark Feldkamp said. More than $2,000 has been raised from neighbors in addition to the garden club donation. Its overall budget for improvements is $10,000. Now the city can move ahead. A mock-up of the lantern lighting using amber glass, milky-white glass and dimmers will be created.
"We don't want it too bright to disturb neighbors," Feldkamp said.
The city is hoping to begin the electrical installation in May and have it completed by July 4. More work needs to be done at the site to revamp the planted area and install signs to alert drivers. Other business: The commission also firmed up plans for the annual Arbor Day celebration, which will be held April 22 at Beach Elementary School. The garden club donated $100 toward the event.
Feldkamp announced the Ramona-Ronada triangle project has gone out to bid after three years of planning for the public-private partnership. Bids will be opened April 30. The Piedmont Beautification Foundation donated more than $25,000, with donations also from many neighbors.
John Lenahan is the new chairman of the commission and Sue Herrick was nominated as vice chair.

Trying to entice more commuters to hop on bikes and leave their cars at home, San Jose City Councilman Sam Liccardo is pitching a plan to alter downtown streets to make biking safer and more convenient.
The proposal calls for separating bicyclists from traffic by building physical barriers, using shrubbery or curbs for instance, making more bike racks available at public events, and hiring a private company to pilot a European-style "bike share" program, with bike rentals at light-rail stations.
"People don't use bicycles as a commute option because they don't feel safe on our roads," said Liccardo, who represents the downtown area. "So the first of these three elements — segregating the bike lane from the rest of traffic along key corridors in downtown — is critical."
With the support of Councilman Forrest Williams and Mayor Chuck Reed, whose "green vision" for the city includes alternative transportation, the plan would focus on the downtown area. Segregated bike trails would run along one side of the road and connect San Jose State University with City Hall, the Diridon train station and major downtown businesses, including Adobe Systems. Possible corridors include San Fernando, South Seventh and North Fourth streets.
"If we're really going to move the needle, to encourage people to change their commuting habits, it seems to me it's less about building trails and lanes to far-flung places in the county as much as it is focusing on those locations that we know are key destinations for people," said Liccardo, whose proposal will be considered Wednesday by the city's Rules and Open Government Committee. Its next step could be an airing by the city council next month.
Local bicyclists are heralding the idea, calling it a "huge step" forward.
"All those things they want to implement — that would make it so much nicer," said Warren Jenkins, who rides his single-speed, green Schwinn from downtown to his job at Recycle Bookstore on The Alameda. "The way things are going with cars and gasoline prices, human power is going to be a lot more prominent. It's part of the solution, right?"
The "bike share" program, similar to luggage cart rentals at airports, would allow commuters to use a token or credit card to borrow bikes from a light-rail station to get to work, then return it when they get on the train home.
Corinne Winter, executive director of Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition, commended city leaders for being innovative.
"Every year we're seeing more people get on their bikes," she said. "What's happening is that the transit facilities were built to handle a certain number of riders. The demand is surpassing that."
Liccardo doesn't have a price tag yet for his plan, but he suggests using "largely untapped" federal funding as well as Valley Transportation Authority money to build the network of barricaded bike lanes.
"We're looking at a modest pilot program," Liccardo said. "The cost will depend on how many corridors we identify and for how many miles."
With commuters paying $4 a gallon for gas, he said, "this is a real opportunity to encourage people to change their commuting habits."

Cincinnati mayor-elect John Cranley has chosen the City Council member who will be his vice mayor.
"We share a concern, I know, about the level of poverty in this community, the level of unemployment. There are a lot of people in this community that are concerned about whether we have the appropriate balance between downtown on one hand and other neighborhoods on the other," Cranley said.
David Mann's new job was announced at a news conference Monday afternoon.
Mann has been elected Cincinnati mayor twice and is a former member of the U.S. House of Representatives. He's also been Cincinnati's vice mayor before, 37 years ago.
Mann and the rest of the City Council will be sworn in Sunday.

A Quote by Kenneth Smith on philosophy, life, character, nature, society, wholes, value-judgments, values, discrimination, intelligence, options, and will
As Kierkegaard insisted from his theistic perspective, so Nietzsche also argues from his naturalistic one: whoever accepts the whole must accept as well the negative, resented, embittering, contrary elements in that whole. If life and character and nature and society truly are wholes, then everything in them is in some way essential to that whole; and we cannot grasp that whole by means of value-judgments if values are INHERENTLY DISCRIMINATORY or divisive functions of our intelligence. Values drive rifts between options, they exist for the sake of the natural powers of the will which (so to speak) needs its food cut up into willable portions or differentiated options.

A Quote by David Bohm on inquiry, system, and assumption
There may be a potential beyond the system. If it's true inquiry, then perhaps it is beyond the system. But don't assume it, because then it will be part of the system. Every assumption goes into the system.

Edward L. Rondeau ("A Trinity Rep" love story," letter, Aug. 22) might want to rethink the anniversary of when he met his wife.
"In October 1964," recalls Mr. Rondeau, "I first met Maria and asked if she would like to see Trinity's production of 'Desire Under the Elms.' She accepted my invitation and, that evening, we went to the theater where, upon arrival, I presented her with a single ticket" (Mr. Rondeau hadn't told his date that he was in the play).
However, that particular production, the fifth in Trinity's first full season, opened in February 1965.
Note: Mr. Rondeau was a fellow cast member and, the year before, my ninth-grade guidance counselor.

Well, I'm late to this party but, whoa boy! Our friend, Dave Ramsay (we're not really friends; I don't know him, but I think we'd get along) sure took some heat last week. Re-posted on his blog site was the Tom Corley article, 20 Things the Rich do Everyday, outlining a number of behaviors akin to the successful in our developed context. While the list of 20 things – a check-off list of behaviors that most of us resolve to do annually on or about January 1st – reads as a quick set of inspirational mandates. Unfortunately, it was also read it as a referendum on the behavior of the poor and, for those who wish to read it this way, can suggest that the results are self-executing and deserved. I don't read it that way, nor do I believe that was the intent. I'll take Corley at face value when he says he is "…on a mission to end poverty." Intent aside, the content ignited a decently large and loud collateral discussion online which, in today's mediums, can look and feel like long-distance flame throwing contest executed from the safety of semi-anonymous comment bunkers. There were also some very open blog responses, significant enough – mostly to the negative – that Dave posted an explanatory addendum that is worth the read. Patheos.com has compiled the higher level critiques for us here. The most prominent, and, undoubtedly, the most read, was the Rachael Held Evans piece on CNN.com. Evans got a number of pile-on comments from all corners. While I can't disagree with her Biblical breakdown on how God feels about the poor, I think her take on Dave was not completely fair in that it assumed a theology and leaned toward an assumed contempt for the poor. I don't say that to be critical of Evans (she's on my list of people I'd like to meet), I just think her commentary on Dave was incomplete; maybe like the post on Dave's site was. Our friend, Paul Louis Metzger (actually an acquaintance so we'll go with friend) weighed in. He seems to always be the steady, non-angry, and sensible voice when evangelicalism gets into an argument with itself. His piece is called, "What Can Dave Ramsey's Evangelical's Learn from Ebenezer Scrooge?" found at his site, Uncommon God, Common Good. Metzger addresses Dave's post, Evans, and quotes at length Kenneth Copeland's comments on the Evan's post. In a few simple paragraphs, I'm reminded why I like Dr. Metzger. And on Copeland's comments about evangelicalism, they are well taken but really can't be pinned on Dave for teaching common sense principles.
The three points of criticism out there, as I observe it, are the idea that Dave is: 1) Preaching a prosperity gospel; 2) That Dave holds to a do-it-yourself brand of 'God helps those who help themselves' reform yourself theology lending to a self-righteous disposition; and 3) Dave has a lack of actual Biblical understanding about the poor. In the case of Corley's article, it is certainly possible to read it as a problematic presentation of the poor especially if you don't have any further context to work from. This is unfortunate, but to level Dave as one who disdains or hates, or sees himself as intrinsically better than the poor, or even one that misunderstands the distinct heart of Jesus for the poor, is patently unfair.
I think the biggest of the misunderstandings is the idea that Dave is actually promoting a theology. While he is obviously open with regard to his worldview, clearly centered on a belief in Jesus and the authority of the Bible as the Word of God, I don't think he's promoting his plan as theological or authoritative. I think he's promoting it as a good plan with Biblical guidance. Neither do I think that Dave is pushing a brand of theology by observing repeatable results – good or bad – that come with the input of their respective choices. That's just life. And as for how he feels about the poor: Who can know another person's heart? It seems clear that plenty of us think we can. What I know, at this moment, is that you have to navigate around a lot of charity giving opportunities on his website and blog site to get to the core content.
I have friends in the ministry who don't like Dave. I honestly don't understand their dislike other than I observe that they've just picked another team on certain things of identity. They feel like they've untethered themselves from presumptive evangelical identifiers on politics and perceived cultural norms. So the bigger-than-life Bible-believing financial guy with a Southern drawl doesn't fit the new branding scheme. It could be for them that Dave embodies that evangelical 'Republican-by-assumption' pigeonhole that they've worked so hard to identify away from. Good enough.
Me, I like Dave. I like that his ideas are really helping people. Evan's says as much. I like that he's probably saved more marriages than can be counted. I like that his principles are simple and the steps are realistic and, somehow, he inspires couples to get on the same page with each other. I like the excitement that couples gain as they successfully progress through the steps. I like the peace and joy that replaces the stress, resentment, and sense of defeat. I like that he and others are helping to change the economy within the church and ultimately releasing a powerful wave of generosity that brings solution to poverty. And where the church is concerned, I see great change: In simple terms, it seems there is a growing desire to change the world through giving and charity and, perhaps, a corresponding decrease in desire to change the skyline with new church buildings that sit empty for much of the week. Things like the Advent Conspiracy and similar campaigns at Christmas have taken hold in thousands of churches with an encouragement to "worship fully, spend less, give more, and love all." Take a peek at the Advent Conspiracy video and tell me that it doesn't sound like a message and themes that you would hear from Dave. Who knows how much of this tracks back to him in terms of actual effect. My guess: Plenty.
Given my endorsement, you can surmise that we're adherents of the Baby Steps (or at least an adaptation of them). We've done almost everything that Dave says as we rumble along. And we're in no way inspired by prosperity gospel hucksters. Our hope is that our lives are actually being lived out for the sake of the poor in terms of what we do professionally and personally. We've been able to turn around years of indebted living – some of it circumstantial, some of it behavioral. There were multiple items on the poor side of the Corley ledger that very much described us. For me, I read them as a cautionary tale as though I was the intended audience. I'm sober to the fact that I AM capable of stringing together enough bad choices that I could do damage to myself and to my family both. But, with some guidance, we now live under a growing list of benefits and a reduced list of consequences; we regard these as blessings: The millstone of debt and all of it's emotional toxicity is gone; we feel like we're making it; we can focus on other stressors in our lives that are in need of attention. It's not so bad, you know. And, by the way, our household income is well within the margin of 'modest;' we're running a young non-profit here. We'll never be rich and the potential of wealth will never motivate us. Peace and joy definitely motivate us. We know that those things come from God who we regard as our provider.
And, for us, Dave's input is not lost on the poor. Outside of Compassion First's domestic and expatriate staff, we employ 30 or so people in our ministry work overseas. The wealthiest among them were not raised anywhere close to middle-class even in their context. For most of their lives, they have all been severely under resourced. They're not overpaid now either – not by any means. We are always working to establish salary levels that are just above the market rate by a few percentage points – looking for the moral sweet spot of paying generously for good work without disrupting the norm of the economic context. We find ourselves on the eve of across-the-board raises that we believe will be a significant blessing. We will accompany these raises with a basic education on the baby steps and will be providing incentive matches for the exercise of the first four steps. We're setting up a similar education for the trafficking survivors in our care, again, all originating from situations of severe poverty. For a handful of people who were raised in poverty and still have a foot in it, if you asked them what they thought about Dave's program, my guess is that they would say it was pretty cool.
With hope to avert arrows going into my back as I try to pull a couple from Dave's, I have some commentary about poverty and Corley's post: I read his observations as an encouragement to take full advantage of the resources that we have. I don't read it as an indictment on those who don't have any; I realize that it could have been presented differently or, at least, more completely – There are risks to posting blogs instead of books. All of our work is in the context of poverty. I'm realistic to the fact that many don't have boots or straps. Children don't choose the setting of their birth and raising. I'm further realistic that a person can be born in to very severe situations even here in America. More, the environmental factors around endemic poverty are oppressive and, all too often, rife with multiple forms of violence against those who are trapped in it which only strengthens the trap. Because people give, some out of relative wealth and some very sacrificially, out of modest means, we are able to do our work. My guess is quite a host of our donors have had a date with Dave at some point in their journey.
My perspective is as one who sits at a big table. I have no expectations that anyone agree with my theology or my perspective. It is a disposition that leaves me more apt to understand the very good that someone has to offer even while not finding full agreement with them. At that, I really enjoy everyone at the table; but I think the guy down at the far end advocating for the poor shouldn't be too quick to give the boot to the guy on the other end who is advocating for financial health. Chances are he has something of great value to offer. He might even be the one funding your advocacy.

Has Osborne Pulled a Rabbit Out of the Hat?
Amid a backdrop of faltering economic growth, U.K. Chancellor George Osborne was always going to face an uphill task providing answers to an increasing list of questions on how to stimulate growth. Has he gone far enough?
Mark Boleat, policy chairman at the City of London Corporation, the local authority for London's Square Mile, said: "Budgets are often best remembered – fairly or not – for the proverbial rabbits pulled out of the chancellor's hat. In reality, however, the most effective policy approach is to provide a sense of stability and continuity. One rabbit pulled from the chancellor's hat today that the City [of London] welcomes his pledge to increase infrastructure spending by £3 billion from 2015/16. We cannot afford to stand still while our rivals build for the future."
Andrew Milligan, head of global strategy at fund manager Standard Life Investments, said: "The Chancellor is playing some cards well, some cards poorly, but he would prefer not to be in this card game at all. Despite the strong criticism from certain quarters, the room for maneuver for the government to stimulate growth is very limited."
Ronnie Ludwig, head of the Private Wealth Group at accountancy firm Saffery Champness, said: "Although politically risky, Osborne could have also done away with the 'non-dom' charge. This does little to deter the mega-wealthy, but can be sufficient to scare off internationally mobile entrepreneurs that are often the ones we look to to provide the creative edge as we claw our way out of the downturn."
Michael Wistow, head of tax at law firm Berwin Leighton Paisner, said: "Effectively excluding banks from any corporation tax reduction through increasing the bank levy conflicts with the Government's stated aim of encouraging banks to lend. We need to put an end to banker bashing via the tax code, which is often counter-productive."
Tim Knox, director of the Centre for Policy Studies, a U.K. think tank, said: "The problems facing the British economy are structural and will not be changed by an industrial strategy here, a tax break there or a new incentive scheme for that bunch over there. You have to forget the (mostly) fine rhetoric in today's budget and look at the numbers. The deficit is still extraordinarily high. Did he do enough to kick-start the British economy? That is aiming far too high. And this budget certainly fell far short."

Bobby Wagner on the Seahawks: 'I definitely think we're a Super Bowl team'
Former Utah State linebacker Bobby Wagner knows clearly what he and his Seattle Seahawks teammates are capable of following a successful 2012 season.
"I definitely think we're a Super Bowl team," Wagner told Eric Davis on an NFL Network segment called "Man 2 Man" that aired this week. "We just got to build on what we did this year. After the year we had … once we put everything back and actually close out games and stuff like that, we'll be fine."
What Seattle did this year was advance to the NFC divisional round of the playoffs, where the Seahawks rallied to lead Atlanta in the final minute before falling, 30-28.
For a team whose roster is full of young talent with rookies Wagner, quarterback Russell Wilson, defensive end Bruce Irvin and running back Robert Turbin, another Utah State product, the deep playoff run should give the youngsters valuable experience.
"We just trusted one another," Wagner said of Seattle's defense, which finished the regular season No. 1 in total defense, allowing 310 yards per game. "It was my first time being on the field and a lot of guys took me under their wing and showed me the ropes."
Wagner turned that learning role into one of leadership, as he led the Seahawks with 140 tackles, including 87 solo, in the regular season. He also had three interceptions while starting 15 regular-season games.
As for his personal expectations moving forward, Wagner said, "I expect a lot more production, a lot more tackles. I'm going to have a lot better grasp of the defense than I had this year, so I'm expecting to make a lot more plays, big plays that change the game."

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Hedi Slimane Returns to Yves Saint Laurent, Adidas Sees Strong Year Ahead, Coach Sues Swap Shop
The Daily Thread: A Style News Roundup
The stalemate at Paris fashion week is broken with the appointment of Hedi Slimane as designer for Yves Saint Laurent, replacing the outgoing Stefano Pilati. The Guardian
Fashionistas agree that Stefano Pilati and Raf Simons are among the most gifted designers in haute couture. Even so, Mr Pilati and Mr Simons were recently sacked. Historically, fashion designers were considered artists; they often worked with painters, architects and other artists. Today they are pawns in a world of "suits," who have gained the upper hand. But they may come to regret the rapid churn of talent. In the words of the irrepressible Mr Pilati: "Fashion is not fashion any more. It's all business." The Economist
Adidas AG expects major sporting events and growth in emerging markets to provide a sales and earnings kick in 2012, the company said, as it reported a rise in net profit in the final quarter of last year. WSJ
Coach has filed a lawsuit in federal court in Fort Lauderdale against the corporation that owns the flea market Swap Shop, and against its landlord, Preston Henn. The lawsuit seeks millions of dollars in damages, alleging that Mr. Henn and his corporations—as landlord and owner of the market on Sunrise Boulevard—have turned a willfully blind eye to vendors selling cheap Coach knockoffs. Sun Sentinel
Reebok, the brand Adidas has spent years trying to firm up, Wednesday showed signs its recent turnaround might be faltering. Its sales dropped 3% in the fourth quarter from a year earlier, while the Adidas brand's sales grew 14% in the same period. The Source
According to the World Watch report—a study produced by the Digital Luxury Group—China has surpassed the U.S. as the country exhibiting the greatest demand for watches, with 23% of all watch-related Internet searches. WSJ Scene Asia
Abercrombie & Fitch has come under fire in Italy for ordering staff in a flagship store to perform press-ups and squats if they failed to meet its exacting standards. The Telegraph

A national food company has issued a voluntary recall for some of its ready-to-eat products due to a possible listeria monocytogenes contamination.
On Tuesday, the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation confirmed that products from Reser's Fine Foods were sold in Alaska, however no illnesses have been reported in the state or elsewhere.
The recall primarily affects ready-to-eat cold salads, coleslaws, baked beans, salsas, spreads and dips. The packages will be marked with a Use-by-Date or Best By Date and followed by a plant identifier code of 20, which means the products were manufactured at the Topeka, KS salad manufacturing facility.
A complete listing of the recalled products can be found at the FDA website: http://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm371955.htm and for an expanded recall list: http://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm372345.htm
"Listeria is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people and individuals with weakened immune systems," said DEC. "Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women. Otherwise healthy people may suffer short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea."
Customers with concerns can call the Reser's Fine Foods Consumer Hotline at 888-257-7913 from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. EST.

To ensure that research subjects provide valid consent, most commentators direct clinical investigators to formally assess potential subjects who are at increased risk for lacking the capacity to consent. Current data reveal, however, that subjects with no known cognitive impairments often fail to give valid consent. These data imply that the prevailing focus on individuals' capacity to consent is too narrow. To protect subjects, as well as the integrity of clinical research, the actual consent of all subjects should be formally assessed. Recent development of several preliminary consent assessment tools suggests that, in addition to being ethically preferable, with additional research this approach may be practically feasible. Future research should focus on developing a postdecision questionnaire that can be adapted to individual studies and used to assess the voluntariness and understanding of all research subjects.

Good win today. 1 out of 3 vs. the Fish with Burnett/Kooky Sidewinder on Fri/Sat saves a lost weekend.
How scary good is the marlins staff?
2.32 Team ERA
11 of 19 games they've given up two runs or less
Two more games with three runs
Five games with four runs
And only 1 of 19 games with 5 or more runs (11 vs. the Mets Thursday night)
Most amazing is that they have given up four or less runs in 18/19 games and yet are only 11-8!

The Chicago Blackhawks announced today that they have agreed to terms with defenseman Ryan Stanton on a one-year contract.
Stanton, 23, made his National Hockey League debut with Chicago on April 27 at St. Louis, recording a +1 plus/minus rating and two penalty minutes. He registered a career-high 22 assists and 25 points in 73 regular-season games with the American Hockey League's Rockford IceHogs in 2012-13 and ranked third on the club with a career-best +16 rating.
The St. Albert, Alberta, native has tallied 60 points (9G, 51A) in 224 career games with the IceHogs from 2009 to 2013 and has skated in two career Calder Cup Playoff games.
Stanton was originally signed by Chicago as a free agent on March 12, 2010.

Groom, S, Herut, B, Brenner, S, Zodiatis, G, Psarra, S, Kress, N, Krom, MD, Law, CS, Drakopoulos, P (2005). Satellite-derived spatial and temporal biological variability in the Cyprus Eddy. DEEP-SEA RESEARCH PART II-TOPICAL STUDIES IN OCEANOGRAPHY, 52(22-23), 2990-3010.
AbstractThe cycling of phosphorus in the Mediterranean (CYCLOPS) team investigated phosphate limitation in the Eastern Mediterranean and conducted a phosphate addition experiment in 2002 at the centre of an anticyclonic eddy south of Cyprus. The 2002 and other cruises generated a small database of chlorophyll-a (chl-a) profiles that enabled investigation of the performance of a variety of standard and regional bio-optical algorithms for remote sensing retrievals of chl-a in the region. The standard SeaWiFS OC4V4 and MODIS chlor_a2 algorithms overestimated chl-a as previously reported while a regional algorithm proposed by Bricaud et al. [2002. Algal biomass and sea surface temperature in the Mediterranean basin: intercomparison of data from various satellite sensors, and implications for primary production estimates. Remote Sensing Environment 81, 163-178] and the semi-analytical MODIS chlor_a3 gave improved retrievals. SeaWiFS mean chl-a maps are presented for the Eastern Mediterranean for each month between September 1997 and August 2004 and as multi-annual climatological images. The former showed that chl-a in the region decreased over the duration of the time series with reductions in the centre of the eddy, tracked using a quasi-Lagrangian approach, of approximately 33% between 1997 and 1998 and 2002 and 2003. This was not correlated with deep winter mixing represented as heat loss from the sea-surface or dust deposition represented as daily EP-TOMS aerosol index and annual aluminium deposition on the Israeli coast. It is hypothesised that the variations in chl-a are partly a function of the eddy dynamics. Daily SeaWiFS observations show that the 2002 phosphate release was conducted at a period of decreasing chl-a between the winter maximum and summer oligotrophic conditions; however, the rate of seasonal decrease was less than that observed in situ during the week following the phosphate release.

Fish Tacos with Black Bean & Mango Salad
Todays summery recipe features our Pacific Cod and comes from Sharing Plate the inspiring food blog by cooking coach Monica Puri Bangia.
Shes an incredibly versatile chef who studied at the French Culinary Institute in New York City.
Monica makes her home in northern New Jersey, about 15 miles west of Manhattan, and makes simple but palate-pleasing dishes with superior, healthy ingredients.
Heres how Monica describes the path she took to arrive at this delicious recipe:
I love ordering fish tacos in Mexican restaurants. I remember eating my first fish tacos years ago in Los Angeles when my husband was on a project there for a few months and I would go visit him every few weeks.
Those tacos were out of this world. I have never had better ones since especially here in the Northeast.
Since I have no plans on going to California any time soon, I decide to make the tacos at home.
I marinated the fish in lemon juice, salt and some olive oil. I then drenched the pieces in some flour and lightly sautéed the fish. The ones you get in the restaurants are fried. I wanted mine lighter and healthier so I merely sautéed them.
I made a fresh, delicious tomato salsa and cut up some avocado chunks. Since my daughter doesnt like anything very tart, I served her the fish in the tortillas without the condiments.
We enjoyed the tacos with all the condiments and a delicious bean salad on the side.
(See Black Bean & Mango Salad, below).
Fish Tacos with Tomato Salsa and Avocado Chunks
By Monica Puri Bangia
1 pound Alaskan cod, cut into 2 inch pieces
Juice of one lemon
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons organic extra virgin olive oil or macadamia nut oil
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons organic extra virgin olive or macadamia nut oil
Tomato Salsa
3 medium tomatoes, cut in half and seeds taken out and cut into a dice
3 green onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
Juice of one large or two small lemons
1 teaspoon adobo sauce (you can add a chipotle as well- depending on spice level wanted)
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
1 teaspoon sea salt
Avocado Chunks
1‒2 avocados cut into one-inch pieces
Juice of two limes
1 teaspoon sea salt
5‒6 small corn tortillas
This salad is perfect for summer time no cooking involved. Just put some ingredients together and make your vinaigrette and you have a great side dish to complement anything at all. It is even great as a light meal at the end of the day or for lunch with a fried egg on top.
I made it with the fish tacos. I was going to make a simple green salad but then thought of doing a bean salad instead. I had mangoes and sweet peppers in my fridge and paired them with green onions and cilantro. I always have different kinds of canned beans in my pantry. Beans are super healthy and add great texture to any dish.
The dressing was simply, lime juice, honey, roasted cumin and olive oil. You cant get this delicious vinaigrette out of a bottle and yet it is so simple to make. I added the dressing to the salad and let it sit for a few hours before serving it with the delicious tacos.
It was a big hit super healthy and delicious and best of all, very easy to make.
Black Bean and Mango Salad
By Monica Puri Bangia
1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed out
2 mangoes, peeled and cut into bite sizes
4 green onions, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 orange or yellow pepper, chopped
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
Salad Dressing
Juice of two limes
1‒2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon roasted organic cumin (powdered)
2 teaspoons sea salt
2 tablespoons organic extra virgin olive oil

Can I apply in CASPA before having completed all necessary pre-requisites?
>>Yes. Applicants can submit their CASPA and secondary applications with courses in progress or planned. This will not impede the admissions review process. Our requirement is that all pre-requisite courses and hours be completed by the time of matriculation.
We offer conditional admission in the event that a course(s) or hours are outstanding at the time a candidate interviews with the program.
Do you accept AP/CLEP credit to satisfy a pre-requisite?
AP Credit that was accepted as credit from your undergraduate institution can satisfy a number of our pre-requisites including General Biology, General Chemistry, Psychology, Statistics, and English Composition courses.
CLEP credit can also be utilized to satisfy course pre-requisites.
How many semester hours/trimester hours are required to satisfy a pre-requisite?
>>Each pre-requisite can be satisfied by one full semester, typically 3-4 semester hours. For applicants on a trimester schedule, 5-6 quarter hours at minimum satisfy a pre-requisite.
Keep in mind that requirements to graduate with a bachelor's degree versus Penn State's requirements for admission will undoubtedly vary. For instance, completion of General Chemistry I can satisfy our pre-requisite but often times General Chemistry I & II are required to enroll in Organic Chemistry I at most institutions.
>>Yes. To satisfy a pre-requisite ALL courses must be completed from a regionally accredited institution. Online courses, including lab component, that are offered through a regionally accredited institution are acceptable.
Do you have a currency on course completion? Are there any exceptions to this?
>>Three pre-requisites have a five (5) year currency. They include:
- Anatomy (or A&P I)
- Physiology (or A&P II)
- Microbiology
This will be waived for any applicant who has been working full time and continuously in the healthcare field since completing the coursework.
What other courses can satisfy two required semesters of English Composition?
>>Any course in which an institution deems a course as having satisfied a 'writing intensive' will suffice. The course can be in any major, and does not need to be an English-major based course. Additionally, if completion of a bachelor's degree incorporates writing across the curriculum, please share this information with the admissions committee.
Do you require a lab component?
>>We do not require a lab but if you have yet to enroll in a science course, Penn State strongly encourages an applicant to complete the lab as part of the course.

Does the program favor certain individuals or groups for admission?
>>One of the goals for the Penn State PA program is to attract and maintain a diverse class which will mirror the communities in which these health care providers will work. As part of our holistic review process, we assign screening points for certain attributes that we would like our students to possess, such as academic preparedness, having a journey in their life and a compelling story to tell about their inspiration to become physician assistants, having perspective from an underserved community by either living in such a community or working with underserved populations, being a military veteran, and having support for this career from others who know you well, as evidenced by your letters of reference. Our holistic review allows us to personally get to know the applicant and what this person can bring to the program and our profession and this is so much more than the numbers that students submit as part of their CASPA application.
Consistent with Penn State University and the Penn State College of Medicine, the PA program will not discriminate against individuals on the basis of race, sex, age, national or ethnic origin, handicap, religion, political affiliation, or sexual identity or preference.
Does the program allow for advanced placement?
>>No, will not grant advanced placement or credit for experiential learning for any course required in the PA program.
All courses in the curriculum are required for completion of the program. Since all of the clinical rotations are part of the course offerings, all of the clinical rotations must be successfully completed as a condition of program completion.
>>First and foremost, we respect our students as adults who are able to make their own decisions. We do not have a work prohibition policy because we feel that you are best able to make your own decision about whether you need to work. We realize the sacrifice that you are about to make to attend a Physician Assistant Program and respect your ability to prioritize your school and financial obligations. We know that you are aware of the enormous commitment that it takes in becoming a Physician Assistant, and we trust you to make responsible decisions about your school performance.
Is there a mandatory attendance policy?
>>No, we do not have a mandatory class attendance policy. As a rule, we provide notes, learning outcomes, and reading lists for all of the lectures in the curriculum on our academic management system known as ANGEL. It is our expectation that the majority of students will attend each and every class for the actual presentation of these materials, but some students are self-directed learners and may instead want to take this information in an independent manner. We perform Team-Based Learning as part of the curriculum and it is essential to attend these seminars since groups function best when all members are present. Syllabi for individual courses detail attendance requirements for each of the classes in the pre-clinical phase.

Authorities said a Gulfport woman has been charged with stealing money from an elementary school's parent-teacher association in south Mississippi.
WLOX-TV reported that Catherine Strickland, 39, was charged with embezzlement. She was arrested Friday and taken to the Harrison County jail where she posted bond.
Gulfport police said Strickland is charged with embezzling more than $2,700 from the PTA of Three Rivers Elementary School.
Strickland is accused of submitting fraudulent documents to the school district's bookkeeper.
Police said the theft happened between April and August of this year.
