Alex Johns, a 1984 graduate of Escalon High School and a producer of animated entertainment for television and films, died Aug. 7 at Cedars Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles after a long illness. He was 43.
Johns served as co-executive producer of the Warner Brothers film "The Ant Bully," and co-produced more than 70 episodes of the television cult favorite, "Futurama."
Johns was the grandson of the actor Steve Cochran - who starred in the 1949 gangster classic "White Heat" and other films. His grandfather was 48 at the time of his death.
Johns was born Aug. 23, 1966, in Roseville. After graduating from Escalon, he attended San Diego State University and the University of California, San Diego. He got his start in movies in the late 1980s colorizing classic films.
"The Ant Bully" grossed more than $28 million, making it the 56th-highest-grossing computer-animated film, according to the website Box Office Mojo.
Critic Stephen Hunter of The Washington Post called it "superb, both as technical exercise and moral treatise."
Lee Supercinski, who worked on "Futurama" and "Ant Bully," said, "Alex taught me that if you treat people kindly and with respect, you'll get the same results. He was my mentor. He didn't really mean to have this big of an influence on my life, but he did."
Johns was preceded in death by his father, Wendell Johns. He is survived by his mother, Xandria Walker of Valley Springs, and his brothers David Cimino of Mountain Home, Ind., Michael Johns of Stockton, Christopher Johns of Salt Lake City and Daniel Johns of Topanga Canyon.

Today it is exactly two years since the weirdest Valentine's Day I have ever experienced, or indeed hope ever to experience again.
February 14, 2011, in short, is etched into my diary and my brain as the day when I was diagnosed – out of the blue – with pancreatic cancer.
They say one should always be grateful for what one has. Accordingly, the appropriate emotion ought perhaps to have been a feeling that I was incredibly and wonderfully lucky, because I was not dead. After all, St. Valentine died on the the 14th of February, on the Via Flaminia in the north of Rome. Hence Valentine's Day. Whereas there was I, alive and well, being told by a doctor in Sarajevo's famous Koševo Hospital – a huge complex of buildings on a hill in north Sarajevo – that a malignant tumor on the head of my pancreas was what had caused me to turn, from head to toe, yellow.
Many people, so late are they diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, are dead within three months: my good fortune (for that is truly what it was) was to be told something on Valentine's Day that, had I not found it out till Christmas Day, might have had a very different outcome.
I have written briefly elsewhere about how very soon afterwards I was wheeled in to an OR at the Copenhagen University Hospital for Whipple surgery, the radical procedure in which, as one fellow pancreatic survivor recently expressed it, "Everything around the pancreas that can be removed, cut, whacked, chopped, is." That operation, simply put, saved my life. It involved the removal of parts of four organs and the reconstruction of my digestive tract and was followed up by chemotherapy that lasted seven looooooong months.
But two years on, here I am. I have out-lived Steve Jobs, may he rest in peace, who had the exact same surgery – though the pathology of his pancreatic cancer was somewhat different.
Unlike Jobs, but in common with Patrick Swayze, Joan Crawford, Margaret Mead and Luciano Pavarotti, who all sadly lost their lives to it, my Valentine's Day diagnosis was that I was suffering from the more common form of pancreatic cancer called adenocarcinoma. The bad news about exocrine tumors like pancreatic adenocarcinoma is that they tend to be more aggressive than neuroendocrine tumors, the kind that Jobs had. The good news though is that if caught early enough they can be treated effectively with surgery. In other words, they can be resected, cut out. "All" that the patient needs is the good fortune to be diagnosed before the cancer has spread beyond such organs as can safely be resected.
I had just such good fortune, and the rest is history – as is half of my pancreas, all of my gall bladder, all of my duodenum (the first section of the small intestine), a goodly portion of my common bile duct, and the distal or lowest third of my stomach.
Since the overall five-year survival rate for pancreatic adenocarcinoma is less than 5%, being one of the lucky few who can have it operated into oblivion is an incredible gift. Whipple surgery is reckoned, by the Copenhagen University Hospital (
After the Whipple surgery, being told that your tumor has been successfully removed, and that all of the many surrounding lymph nodes also removed during the operation have tested negative for any spread of cancer, is a deeply uplifting experience. Having to undergo the physically brutal elective self-poisoning we call chemotherapy was somewhat less uplifting, but "belt and suspenders" was the approach of my team of Danish oncologists. With four children, a wife, two cats and a dog, why run the risk of the surgeons having missed a few sub-microsocopic cancer cells?
Cytotoxins are nothing if not effective: besides, "what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger" – right?
That is all I am willing to say about chemotherapy. Fast forward thirteen months beyond the end of that chemo, and you get to today. Pancreatic cancer survivors aren't especially numerous, for reasons that CNN spells out quite succinctly here, but that only makes it more important that we lucky ones speak out and, hopefully, embolden others to do the same.
As well as saving it, Whipple surgery also changes your life, since is rearranges your innards in ways that boggle the mind when you see it spelt out in words. Digestion of entire meals is no longer an option, but a world of snacks is better than no world at all. Because my pancreas was my digestive system's main enzyme-producing organ, my aim in "Year Three" must be once and for all to master the nutritional and digestive complications of no longer having sufficient enzymes. I've not quite figured it out, not yet.
This two-year milestone seems as good a time as any to share one or two images – do please let me know if you think it's true what they say about a picture being worth a thousand words.

With so much going on in this space you could be forgiven for thinking you were always working with yesterday's technologies. So much change, so quickly. What do you do if you have to build a solution from the ground up that is expected to live in the field for at least 5-10 years? This is the challenge we faced when we looked to refresh our existing 10-year-old custom hardware stack to measure the fullness of trash cans and compactors.

Kasey was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis when she was 18 months old. Unlike a lot of others living with CF, Kasey's issues are more GI related. In 1995, she was placed on the list for a liver transplant and was diagnosed with CF related diabetes. At 13 years old, she was giving herself up to 6 shots a day and due to a failing pancreas, had a feeding tube placed, in an effort to help her put on weight, as she waited for the call that would save her life.
That call came on November 22, 1997. On November 23rd, as she woke from surgery, she found out that not only did she receive a liver, but a pancreas as well and no longer had to rely on insulin or enzymes. It was the greatest news ever for her and her family.
Kasey truly is the ultimate CF Warrior. She is full of fight and determination and will not stop until a cure is found for this disease. She has participated in all but one CF Climb and in 2014, Kasey's CF Warriors Team was awarded the top team fundraiser, raising $12,000. Not only is she a great fundraiser, she is always willing to help others, whether it be a parent of a child with CF or an adult with CF, she makes herself available. She is also a great support to the CF Foundation, volunteering at many of our other events throughout the year. These are just a few of the wonderful things Kasey does, the list goes on and on.
Today, Kasey is a beautiful, young woman who lives her life to the fullest, grateful for the gifts that she was given that day in November. She married the love of her life, Erik this past May and this year she will be celebrating her 19th transplant anniversary as well as her 33rd birthday. It just so happens that the date of the Climb is on her birthday weekend! We have a lot to celebrate!

First Stage's 'Midnight Cry' travels from slavery to freedom
Just after intermission in playwright James DeVita's "A Midnight Cry," the minister (Mark Corkins) hiding a terrified Lida Anderson (Malkia Stampley) tells her that "you need to act like you been living free your whole life."
A runaway on the Underground Railroad who has spent her first 17 years in slavery, a confused Lida asks just how she's supposed to pull that off. Corkins' dumbfounded minister — white, established and born free — can't even imagine himself into a place where Lida's question is possible. »Read Full Article

England will regret dropping Graeme Swann for the second Investec Test against South Africa, according to former coach Ray Illingworth.
Andy Flower's side went into the Headingley clash with an all-seam attack of James Anderson, Stuart Broad, Tim Bresnan and Steven Finn, with the latter recalled at Swann's expense. They opted to bowl first on Thursday morning but were frustrated by Proteas openers Alviro Petersen and Graeme Smith, the former making a Test-best 182.
And while Illingworth understands England's thought process on his seam-friendly former home ground, he believes the decision arrived at was the wrong one. "I would never go in without a spinner," he told the Daily Star Sunday. "I can see why they did it and why they bowled first because they have to win the match to stay in with a chance of winning the series."
He added: "And it does tend to do a bit on the first morning at Headingley - but you have to make that session count and take four or five wickets before lunch.
"If you don't take those wickets you have to say then that you have made a mistake leaving out the spinner and bowling first and I think when this match is over they will look back on that as the wrong decision.
"Even if the pitch doesn't turn, some batsmen just don't play slow bowling very well. Swann didn't bowl particularly badly at the Oval so he was unlucky to be left out.
"I am sure Swann won't take it personally and will realise the team tried to do something positive to win the game. I don't think it will affect him really."

Nonbusiness Elective Credit and 3 s.h. of Business Elective Credit. *Note: TCOB students interested in the Dream Careers London or Hong Kong programs are required to apply via this University of Iowa-sponsored program.
Summer 2014 program dates were June 7-August 2. Students can expect similar dates in summer 2015.
Details about the program are available on the Institute for International Business website, or by contacting Study Abroad.
Hong Kong is one of the world's largest and most metropolitan cities. About seven million people live on the collection of islands and mainland branch of this financial capital. Once a British territory, Hong Kong was returned to China in 1997. China now classifies Hong Kong as a special administrative region (SAR). The city was allowed to retain its currency, legal system, and political system, making it a drastically different place than the rest of mainland China.
After applying and gaining acceptance to the UI program, students will be assigned to work with a member of the Dream Careers team to polish their resumes to bring out highlights that will appeal to employers. Students work with an internship coordinator to select an internship that matches your skills and goals with employer's needs. The internship coordinator will set up phone interviews and guide students through the selection process which takes place in the spring.
In 10 years, Dream Careers has had more than 10,000 students in internships in cities in the United States and abroad. Students are guaranteed to be placed in unpaid internships in Hong Kong that cover a variety of sectors including:
• Finance
• Marketing
• PR and Event Planning
• Advertising and Publishing
• Other industries
Interns are housed at City University of Hong Kong's Student Residence in double room accommodations (two rooms share one bathroom) and shared common spaces. Breakfast and dinner are provided at City University. The City University is in a great location for the metro, grocery stores, restaurants, and places to hang out, including Festival Hall.
Students make their own travel arrangements, with tips and advice provided by Study Abroad.
This program is designed for mature students seeking international work experience. Each applicant must meet the following criteria by the summer of 2015:
• UI and a cumulative GPA of at least 2.75
• earned at least 45 s.h.
• completed at least one semester at the UI (by December 2014)
• be in good academic and disciplinary standing
• completion of 6K:70/6K:50 is recommended for all business students participating in the program
The approximate total program fee for summer 2014 was $8,460. This fee was made up of the course fee of $7,969 and the study abroad administrative fee. Because the study abroad administrative fee is based on UI tuition and the Board of Regents to date have not set UI tuition for summer 2015, that part of the total program fee is subject to change. A summary of what is and is not included in the program fee can be found here. Students traveling abroad under the auspices of the University of Iowa are required to purchase the Regents International Health Insurance plan and will be automatically signed up for the coverage. More insurance cost and coverage information can be found here. The cost of insurance will show up as a separate charge on the students' ubill.
This is the total estimated cost of attendance for summer 2014. This document outlines the total estimated costs associated with participating in this program and can be used for financial aid purposes. It includes fees charged on students' U-Bill, as well as out-of-pocket expenses. Actual out-of-pocket expenses will vary from individual to individual. Quoted estimates are conservatively high, yet realistic. We expect only the course fee (listed above) and administrative fee to change for summer 2015.

okay I'm just killing a little time when I came across this:
"Are you Death?"
"It's the scythe, isn't it? People always notice the scythe."
"I'm going to die?"
"Possibly? You turn up when you are possibly going to die?"
"Oh, yes. It's quite a new thing. It's because of The Uncertainty Principle."
"What's that?"
"I'm not sure?"
"That's very helpful."
"I think it means people may or may not die. I have to say it's playing hob with my schedule, but I try to keep up modern thought."
Can anyone tell me where this is from?

Divisadero (Unabridged)
by Michael Ondaatje
Open iTunes to Buy
In the 1970s in Northern California, near Gold Rush country, a father and his teenage daughters, Anna and Claire, work their farm with the help of Coop, an enigmatic young man who makes his home with them. Theirs is a makeshift family, until it is riven by an incident of violence that sets fire to the rest of their lives. Divisadero takes us from the city of San Francisco to the raucous backrooms of Nevada's casinos and eventually to the landscape of south-central France. As the narrative moves back and forth in time and place, we discover each of the characters managing to find some foothold in a present rough hewn from the past. Breathtakingly evoked and with unforgettable characters, Divisadero is a multilayered novel about passion, loss, and the unshakable past, about the often discordant demands of family, love, and memory. It is Michael Ondaatje's most intimate and beautiful novel to date.

Hillsboro Ballpark now Ron Tonkin Field
In a well-choreographed media event Tuesday afternoon at the Hillsboro Ballpark, Mayor Jerry Willey announced that the new name for the stadium where the Hillsboro Hops Class A baseball team plays will be Ron Tonkin Field.
Ron Tonkin, who passed away in January, was the owner of the Ron Tonkin Family of Dealerships, a major Northwest auto dealer.
"This is a perfect marriage of our father's love for baseball and our love for him," said Ed Tonkin, Ron's son.
The naming rights deal is for 10 years, in which the Tonkin company will pay $150,000 per year for the right to have the stadium called Ron Tonkin Field. The city will receive 70 percent of that money each year $105,000 while the Hops organization receives the remainder, $45,000.
"It's a special day for us," said K.L. Wombacher, general manager of the Hillsboro Hops.

Southeast Lauderdale's bid to repeat at 3A girls champion ended Friday night at the Mississippi Coliseum.
The Lady Tigers fell to top ranked Raymond 66 to 43.
Southeast jumped out to an early lead but lost momentum when senior guard Brittany Roberts went down with a knee injury. Roberts did not return to the game.
Raymond led by two at halftime, but dominated the second half to take the win.
Southeast Lauderdale was the defending state champ and had claimed state crowns in three of the last four years.

The Odyssey
by Homer
The Odyssey Telemachos Quotes
Quote 7
(Telemachos:) 'Eurymachos, there is no more hope of my father's homecoming. I believe no messages any more, even should there be one, nor pay attention to any prophecy, those times my mother calls some diviner into the house and asks him questions.' (1.413-416)
Athene has just told Telemachos that his father is still alive, but the Prince chooses to deceive the suitors to keep him and his mother safe; it seems he fears a riot or coup if the men all knew the truth.
Quote 8
(Telemachos:) 'Do not fear, nurse. This plan was not made without a god's will. But swear to tell my beloved mother nothing about this until the eleventh day has come or the twelfth hereafter, or until she misses me herself or hears I am absent, so that she may not ruin her lovely skin with weeping.' (2.372-376)
Telemachos's deception extends even to his own mother.
Quote 9
(Telemachos:) 'Suddenly you have changed, my friend, from what you were formerly; your skin is no longer as it was, you have other clothing. Surely you are one of those gods who hold the high heaven. Be gracious, then: so we shall give you favored offerings and golden gifts that have been well wrought. Only be merciful.' (16.181-185)
Interestingly, Telemachos finds it more believable that Odysseus is a god than that his father has finally returned home.

3 Units // Meets Tuesday and Thursday 3:30-5 PM in 212 O'Brien
Instructors:David Ragland, PhD, MPHSafe Transportation Research and Education Center (SafeTREC), affiliated with the Institute of Transportation Studies and the School of Public Health
Offer Grembek, PhD (UC Berkeley)Safe Transportation Research and Education Center (SafeTREC), affiliated with the Institute of Transportation Studies and the School of Public Health
Koohong Chung, PhD (UC Berkeley), PECalifornia Department of Transportation,
Course Description:Injuries from traffic crashes are a major cause of death and disability in the United States and around the world. In the United States injury from traffic crashes is the leading cause of death and disability for people ages 1 to 34, and a major cause for all age groups.
The course will examine principles of engineering and behavioral science relevant to preventing traffic collisions and subsequent injury. Human behavior, vehicle design, and roadway design will be considered as interacting approaches to preventing traffic crashes and injuries. Safety of vulnerable road users (primarily pedestrians and bicyclists) will be covered extensively.
New for this Semester: Given the rapid emergence of technology—self-driving vehicles, crash avoidance systems, vehicle-infrastructure integration—we will have a two-week module on the implications for safety (for all modes) of these emerging technologies, with presentations by experts on these topics.
Specific skill sets developed in the class:
(i) Identify crash causal factors(ii) Analyze collision risk in a road network(iii) Identify and evaluate countermeasures(iv) Determine safety implications of self-driving vehicles and other emerging technologies
Class grade will be based on homework assignments (30%), participation (20%), and a research paper (50%). The research paper is often successfullysubmitted to conferences and journals after the class has ended.
This course is open to students of all academic backgrounds. Undergraduates welcome; please contact instructor for permission.
Instructors: David Ragland, Director, SafeTREC. Glenn Shor, Center for Occupational and Environmental Health.
Injury is the leading cause of death for ages 1-44, and the leading cause of years of potential life lost to age 70, surpassing heart disease and cancer. The general topic of injury is very diverse, including unintentional and intentional injury. The semester will begin with an overview of the field of injury followed by a focus on several specific subject areas, examining current issues within those subject areas. Course activities include discussion based on key readings, web-based and observational assignments, and a paper and presentation at the end of the semester. An extra-unit is available for students who wish to prepare a paper for publication.
Each of these topics, in addition to being of great importance in their own right, illustrate the role of data and information in understanding injury as well as the major approaches to injury prevention.
SafeTREC faculty and researchers have developed two upper division courses: Public Health 285A Injury Prevention and Control, and Traffic Safety and Injury Control, which is cross-listed as Civil Engineering C265 and Public Health C285.
Injury Prevention and Control is offered in the fall. Traffic Safety and Injury Control is offered in the spring.

In this past Sunday's New York Times, there was an article about a mom blogger, Stephanie Nielson, that was in a terrible plane crash with her husband several weeks ago. The tragedy of her accident is immense. She is burned over 80% of her body and her husband is burned over 30% of his body. Her and her husband are still in the hospital as doctors work to use skin from her body to reconstruct the parts of her face that were damaged by the fire. She has five beautiful children, none of whom have seen their parents since the accident.
Her blog is called the Nei Nei Dialogues. Through her blog, she made an incredible connection to women all around the world. Although her readership wasn't huge, her readers were loyal and felt very connected to her. On her blog, she talked about being a mother with love and humor and inspired other mothers to tackle the difficult parts of being a mom with a sense of joy.
When her readers found out about her accident (through her sister's post on Stephanie's blog), they mobilized quickly and with passion. They put together a Nei Nei day where numerous of the moms auctioned off all kinds of things to raise money for Nei Nei (from bags to homemade cookies to writing love letters to the buyer's person of choice). My friend Kate from The Big Piece of Cake, jumped in immediately to help raise money. The support around the blogosphere was amazing and incredibly heartwarming. These mothers came together quickly to create a forum to help someone that almost none of them had ever met or had any "real" connection to and they did this with no expectation of recognition or thanks. As of today, almost $100,000 dollars has been raised for Stephanie and her family.
I read a lot of articles about bloggers that are making money or creating fame for their hosts but what I don't think the media or even the "experts" have really grasped is how positive and powerful this section of the blogosphere is, the mothers on the Internet.
When I started blogging in June, I didn't know if I wanted to be identified as a mom blog but since learning about and being a part of this amazing mom community, I would be honored to be considered as one of them.
They have shown me that people can still be selfless, giving, caring, and completely supportive of others without wanting anything in return. These mothers are an inspiration to me and I hope that I can do the mom blog medium justice in my own small way.
