Coming Out Of Your Shell
by T D Wolf on Jun.15, 2012, under Culture, Family, Health, Kids, Nature
It's not uncommon for an infant to be born with a strawberry birthmark. Most are fairly innocuous, but some are pronounced.
Unless it affects sense or function, they're usually left untreated and go away by themselves after a few years.
But some birthmarks only get worse. Congenital Melanocytic Nevus manifests itself in discolored moles that may be hairy or hard.
An Qi, an eight year old from China was born with the large birthmark, which covers the right side of his face. As he's grown, the mark has expanded and also grown thick black hair.
Didier Montalvo lives in rural Columbia, and the neighbors shun him.
His mother thought his affliction was her fault, for looking at a solar eclipse while pregnant. Villagers refuse to acknowledge that silly superstition, convinced that the boy is cursed by evil forces.
Didier was teased and bullied by other kids, and his melanocytic nevus earned him the name "Turtle Boy."
His family was unable to afford the surgery that could correct the problem, but he tried to have as normal a life as possible.
Didier's life was severely affected by the growth, which was painful and itchy.
When his story was featured in a local newspaper, he received a flood of donations, and a plastic surgeon from Great Ormond Street Hospital in London offered to fly to Colombia to work with the team there.
Surgeon Neil Bulstrode said, "Didier's CMN was the worst case I had ever seen due to the size and bulk of the lesion. Effectively three quarters of the circumference of his body was affected. When I saw the pictures of Didier, one of my first feelings was that if we could remove it, we would significantly improve his quality of life."
Didier had said: "I want to grow up. But the mole won't let me."
This group of teens overcame their affliction by forming a martial arts team and fighting crime.

The area is preparing for its first taste of some winter snowfall.
Crews started working on the roads Monday.
While workers may be home now, they'll be ready to take on mother nature at midnight.
The trucks are ready and so are the people behind the wheel.
"We started early this morning," said Sean Brown, press officer for PennDOT. "Making sure we had material on our trucks, plows ready, and salt brine solution if we need that."
It's expected to remain colder in the higher elevations.
So workers did put down salt brine solution on some of the roads north of the Lehigh Valley, but not in the Valley.
"Due to sort of the iffy weather," added Brown. "It's not very effective if you are having a wet snow or a rain. It kind of washes the salt brine away. So it will be more effective north of the Blue Mountains."
That doesn't mean that people in the Lehigh Valley should worry about a lot of snow on the roadways for the morning commute.
Workers will be on the roads starting at midnight.
The plan is to have plenty of snow cleared by time the cars hit the road.
They only ask that drivers show a little patience and take plenty of time getting to your destinations.
"If you do see plows on the roadway give them enough space to do their job and don't drive aggressively around them," said Brown.
Workers say you don't have to worry about there being enough salt.
PennDOT had salt left over from last year and they've already received this year's shipment as well.

Five Links for Looking, Volume 6
1. Kiddie Records Weekly was profiled here two years ago and is worth a reminder revisit. The website takes children's records that were produced in the 1940s and 1950s and rescues one each week by converting it to MP3 and making it available for download.
Introduce these crackly recordings to your toddler by finding records on familiar topics. Check out the December listings for each year to compile some nice Christmas stories. My 3-year-old daughter has watched a live performance of The Nutcracker two years running, so The Nutcracker Suite for Children was a natural. Or try: The House at Pooh Corner, Babar, Peter and the Wolf or The Little Engine that Could.
2. Four things children really want for Christmas (via Parent Hacks).
3. Entertaining Isabella without TV (an oldie, but a goodie).
4. How to be a great dad – 12 tips.
5. Video: Five dangerous things you should let your kids do (the speaker gets to the heart of the issue at 1:40).
Congratulations to Alex of Neatorama who is now a daddy-o.

By Elwynn Taylor, Department of Agronomy
The drought of 2012 in the Midwest was a continuation of a weather anomaly that began in 2010. The historical indicator of El Nino and La Nina is the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI). The index is based on the 90-day standardized deviation of atmospheric pressure between Tahiti and Darwin, Australia. The standardized difference reached 0.8 on July 22, 2010, signifying the beginning of a La Nina event (Figure 1). By Oct. 23, 2010, the event was clearly the second strongest event in the 100+ years of record keeping. The young but potent La Nina resulted in an abrupt change in weather on a planetary basis that included record flooding in Montana, N.D. and adjacent Canada, and enormous amounts of water to drain into the Missouri river during 2011. The event ended a several year drought in the northwest United States and ended (with drought) a six year continuous string of above trend U.S. corn yields (figure 2).
Figure1. The La Nina event that initiated July 22, 2010, reached peak strength on Oct. 23, 2010, second only to the mid-1950s event. The SOI reached El Nino threshold on Aug. 16, 2012, but did not establish. On Oct. 30, 2012, the SOI returned to the La Nina side of a neutral condition. Data from http://www.longpaddock.qld.gov.au/.
Figure 2. U.S. corn yield 1982-2012. The U.S. corn yield exceeded the trend for six consecutive years (2004-2009) and fell below trend in 2010. The "trend yield" for 2013 is near 160BPA (indicated by star). USDA graphic: NASS.USDA.gov
Drought in 2011 was much like the drought in the mid-1950s: developing in the south central United States with rain becoming scant in the Corn Belt after early July. Midwest crops depleted the subsoil moisture to the extent of rooting depth, and over winter precipitation did not bring full recharge to western Corn Belt soils. Rooting conditions in 2012 were near ideal and observed corn and soybean roots to depths greater than 8 feet were reported in numerous locations. Deep rooting provided sufficient water to enable a greater than anticipated crop yield in numerous Corn Belt locations, but resulted in about 8 feet of moisture depleted soil and a resultant requirement of 16+ inches of moisture needed to replenish subsoil moisture. It is not likely that subsoil moisture will be fully replenished by the beginning of the 2013 planting season.
Moisture deficit in the subsoil increases the risk of crop yields being below trend and prevents the recovery of river, pond and well water to normal levels.
Measurements of soil moisture are made at 1-foot intervals to 5 feet at several locations. Figure 3 is a map of the "normal April 15" soil moisture. Observations of the moisture at selected locations were made in the fall of 2011 and 2012. The fall observations are useful in that November water is retained throughout the winter and is indicative (to the extent they are short of normal) of the moisture deficit yet to be corrected.
Historically, severely deficit precipitation years of the magnitude of 2012 do not recover to normal annual precipitation in a single year (Figure 3). Accordingly, an additional year of significant moisture stress is considered to be not unlikely and a fourth consecutive year of below trend U.S. corn yield a distinct possibility. The probabilities will become more definitive in the early weeks of 2013 as the likely phase of the El Nino/La Nina for the growing season becomes manifest.
Figure 3. Normal subsoil moisture as of April 15 during the period 1961-1980. Soil moisture capacity is between 10 and 11 inches for the top 5 feet of soil for moist agricultural soils of Iowa. November moisture in 2012 exceeded observations for November 2011 in southeast Iowa and will likely result in normal values when augmented by spring rain. In northwest Iowa, the November 2012 observations were less than 2011 in locations sampled.
Figure 4. Precipitation received in central Iowa during the water year (Oct. 1 through Sep. 30). The three historically driest years since 1950 are 1956, 1988 and 2012. In both cases, the subsequent year also received below normal precipitation and experienced below trend yields in Iowa.

MOBILE, Alabama -- South Alabama football coach Joey Jones said earlier this month that that the Jaguars planned to sign "seven or eight" defensive backs.
Jones didn't have to look far to find two of those defensive backs.
LeFlore cornerback Sir'Vegias Steele and Foley's Caleb Autrey have verbally committed to the Jaguars, according to the coaching staff at the players' respective high schools.
Steele said the ability to play in his hometown played a major role in his decision to pick South Alabama over Louisiana Tech.
"I just want to play ball," said Steele, a 5-foot-8, 169-pounder who bench-presses more than 300 pounds. "Some people say I'm underrated because I didn't get that much public recognition, but I'm just happy to be going to college."
National signing day -- the first day high school players can sign scholarship paperwork according to NCAA rules -- is set for Wednesday, and numerous players from Coastal Alabama will formalize their college destination, including some of whom made a decision in the last week.
Most of the area's top players have been committed for months, taking much of the drama out of signing day and largely relegating it to a formality. Three of the area's top prospects -- Mr. Football T.J. Yeldon of Daphne, Daphne defensive end/linebacker Ryan Anderson and
Davidson lineman Alphonse Taylor -- have already enrolled at Alabama.
Troy has snagged two local players in recent weeks, Linden linebacker Terris Lewis and Thomasville athlete John Knight. Lewis earned a spot on the 1A All-State team and was named the 1A lineman of the year, while Knight earned a spot on the 4A All-State team as a linebacker while also excelling at running back.
Jackson quarterback Dustyn Moseley -- a finalist for the 4A back of the year award after leading the Aggies to the state championship -- recently committed to Division II West Alabama. He completed 199 of 305 passes for 3,027 yards and threw 35 touchdowns in 2011, including a 17-for-28, 298-yard effort in the Aggies' 42-28 victory over Oneonta in the 4A championship game.

"Mimsy Were the Borogoves" is a science fiction short story by Lewis Padgett (a pseudonym of Henry Kuttner and C. L. Moore) that was originally published in the February 1943 issue of Astounding Science Fiction Magazine.[1] It was judged by the Science Fiction Writers of America to be among the best science fiction stories written prior to 1965 and included in the anthology The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Volume One, 1929–1964. In 2007, it was loosely adapted into a feature-length film titled The Last Mimzy.
Plot summary[edit]
Millions of years in the distant future, a posthuman scientist experimenting with a technologically advanced time machine sends two boxes with hastily gathered batches of educational toys into the past. The first arrives in the middle of the twentieth century and the second in the latter part of the nineteenth century. Believing the experiment to be a failure when the machines and test objects fail to return, he discontinues his efforts to help save his highly, superhumanly evolved home world.
The first box of toys travels back to 1942, and is discovered by an eleven-year-old boy named Scott Paradine, who takes it home. The toys include a small transparent cube that visibly manifests the holder's thoughts; a wire maze puzzle employing a fourth dimension; and a detailed anatomical doll that possesses unfamiliar organs and structures. As Scott and his two-year-old younger sister, Emma, play with the toys, the brain activity of the two develops in unusual and superhuman ways.
Although their parents are often preoccupied with their own lives, they suspect supernatural anomalies going on with their children and become greatly worried. They consult with a child psychologist, Rex Holloway, who quickly recognizes the strangeness of the toys, and suspects them to be of extraterrestrial origin. Holloway surmises that the toys are "educating" the children and introducing an "X factor" into Scott's and Emma's thought processes on tremendously high superhuman levels. He believes their increasingly intellectual, knowledgeable, and developing young minds are pliable enough to be profoundly affected by the devices.
The toys rapidly guide the Paradine children to construct a pathway into the dimension where the highly intelligent and evolved superhuman beings of the future live. At Holloway's direction, their parents take the toys away from them; but the children continue their efforts to help the future.
The second box arrives in nineteenth-century England, and is found by Alice Liddell, who one day recites some verse learned from one of its contents to Charles Dodgson, better known today as Lewis Carroll. Intrigued, he asks her its meaning; whereupon she, uncertain, identifies it as "the way out". Dodgson, in reply, promises to include it in his writings.
In 1942, Emma and Scott encounter Carroll's fantasy book Through the Looking-Glass, containing the poem "Jabberwocky". In its words, they identify the missing element of a time-space equation enabling them to travel to the alien destination. (The unusual title of the short story is a phrase from the poem.) Their father arrives in the doorway of Scott's bedroom as the children vanish in a direction he cannot comprehend.

March 16, 1999
Commissioners' Conference Room 1:30 p.m.
Commissioner Bobby Green, Sr., presided with Commissioners Bill Dwyer, Anna Morrison, Peter Sorenson and Cindy Weeldreyer present. County Administrator Bill Van Vactor, County Counsel Teresa Wilson and Recording Secretary Melissa Zimmer were also present.
ORDER 98-9-23-9 Regarding the PeopleSoft Financial System Conversion to Authorize County Administrator to Execute Additional Contract.
Teresa Wilson, County Counsel, stated when they pulled together the remaining resources to do the entire financial conversion, they had not identified how they would do the budget module. She added the Board Order that was done in September of 1998, (delegating authority to the County Administrator to execute contracts to implement) did not include any identification of the budget module implementers. She said since then PeopleSoft procured the BRASS system and there was no change in the amount to purchase the software. She said implementation for PeopleSoft had been done by BIT. She said when they signed the contract with them, their contract was reduced to exclude implementing the budget module. She said the total project cost had not changed.
MOTION: to modify ORDER 98-9-23-9.
Morrison MOVED, Dwyer SECONDED.
a. REVIEW Proposed Organizational Changes Within the Lane County Sheriff's Office.
Jan Clements, Sheriff, introduced Captain Clague (who has been reassigned to the position of Chief Deputy, within the office of the Sheriff) and Captain Paul Sachet, Corrections; Ernie Loy, Civil Manager; Tina Stonelake, Administrative Analyst; Captain Dan Heuvel (who has retired) and Captain Tom Brett.
Clements reported the opening of the jail was slated for April 5. He said there will be a grand opening set for that date. He commented that the work was on time and on budget. He suggested that by the year 2005, they will need 300 additional beds.
Regarding the reorganization, Clements said that neither the Sheriff nor the County has the capacity to analyze for the future, nor the time or staff necessary for proactive efforts. He said he desires to deal with concepts and not ignore the fiscal implications. He discussed his draft memorandum regarding reorganization (copy in file.) He added he wanted to reorganize the department to move forward to serve the interests of the citizens. He added that the County can't afford not to invest in this. He said the citizens elected him into office and he wants to ensure strong connection with the constituents. He passed out an organizational chart (copy in file.)
Dwyer asked Sheriff Clements why he was in front of the board.
Clements responded that this was to inform the commissioners where the Sheriff's Office is going, to hopefully gain support for the concepts and a recommendation for reorganization. He added if he has the support of the Board, he would then like the Board to assist him with dealing with the budgetary implications of the reorganization plan. He said he didn't believe they could afford not to do this.
Dwyer noted that the County is in a financial bind. He wanted to know if the Sheriff could identify where the money would come from.
Clements said he knew where the money would come from for the reclassification of positions this fiscal year. He added they are here because financial forecasts are subject to change in the County, and he needed to let the commissioners know where they need to be as an organization to appropriately grow their capacity to respond to its citizen needs. He added when the money does become available, the Board will understand that it is a high priority.
Dwyer noted the Board has to decide how Lane County will pay for this.
Clements said he was hopeful that, based on the merits of the argument for reorganization, they can try to address the costs associated with the reorganization.
Dwyer stated he was concerned that the Board was being told what the Sheriff's department was doing and that at some point in time the Board will have to make a decision whether they have the money.
Clements noted the Sheriff's Department needs the capacity to carry on the work for the future. He said they have to look at the bottom line and the information they have so they can better do the job of providing law enforcement services.
Sorenson said with regard to where the Board goes, he said there is support for any kind of innovative creative idea that will help deliver the services to the public. He asked Clements if the Board was going to reduce the stress on the organization, (prior to budget discussion) when there is no revenue option on the table, what would he do.
Clements responded that there is an appreciation on the part of the Board of Commissioners for the concept and need to reorganize. He said he wanted the Board to know as early as possible about the needs the Sheriff's Department has, to go into the future and meet the needs that presently they are not meeting. He said with regard to funding within an existing base line, he wants to participate in problem solving. He said the reason he wants the higher level of fiscal position is to do the analysis on how they are operating and to see if they can produce efficiencies in their organization that will equip them within their existing baseline, to fund some of the activities. He noted it is what is contained within the whole array of County services. He said they may choose to de-fund certain activities. He said they have a variety of general fund activities and special interests coming at the last minute to the Board of Commissioners or to the Budget Committee. He said there is always need and they have to prioritize their responses. He said he is looking at the entire general fund or other suggestions for funding activities and he will take recommendations as it relates to the Sheriff's Office, within their base line as well as within the larger County's general fund base line.
Sorenson asked Clements about implementing the reorganization with the existing budget.
Clements responded that it would be a mistake for the Commissioners to say this is what they did last year and it is what they will do for this year. He said there are discreet things they fund from the general fund that may not rise to the level of the priority that he believes should be given this initiative. He said he understands that there will not be as much flexibility. He said he is articulating what he thinks are huge deficits in the Sheriff's Office and the County, as they provide the most critical services to citizens.
Weeldreyer said it had been proven to her that Public Safety issues are very important to the people of Lane County, especially in the rural areas, where it is their police force. She added the concerns are the lack of visibility of the Sheriff's Office and the long response time that it takes to get to the outlying areas. She said she wants to do what she can to help out the Sheriff's Department and is looking for options. She noted the most immediate need for her is in the reorganization changes that are being proposed and the price tag that will be attached to them. She wanted to know how will it address the pressing problems (like overtime) when there is a major crime incident that comes up that is unforeseen, but had to be dealt with at the time. She wanted to know how the improved efficiency with the research, training and analyst, will have a direct impact on the services that the citizens will be receiving.
Clements responded that on a day-to-day basis, not a great deal. He said they will never get away from overtime, and they haven't done a good job of developing a game plan for how they will properly address the capacity needs of the service delivery system. He said they don't have it on the correctional or rural law enforcement side. He said they need dedicated capacity to plan for the future. He added they need to look inside the organization regarding fiscal matters to see how well they are spending their money, to see if there are ways they could substantially do things differently to save money and enhance their activities.
Clements noted with regard to the new jail, they do not have the staff to bring it on line. He added when they don't bring it on line, they have to do one of two things with the U.S. Marshal's Office. He said they either tell them they don't have all the beds they were going to provide, (and they may not get the per diem for federal inmates) or they give them the contract for the beds and send more people out the door. He added the recruiting needs are huge. He said from 1994 to the present, they have they filled 158 new positions in the Sheriff's Office. He added the problem needs to be solved together and there needs to be a coalition to advance the cause of sufficient revenue to fund critical services.
John Clague, Captain, said he had been involved in six different money measures in an attempt to finance public safety for Lane County and the Sheriff's Office. He added his involvement had been building spread sheets and budgets, that most other governmental entities would have budget people doing.
Green said the bottom line is that he would like to engage in a problem solving exercise. He said he wanted to approach it from the standpoint of meeting the Sheriff's needs and keeping the rest of the organization whole. He said the County is a general purpose government but given all the hits that they have been taking, it has become a minimal purpose government. He said with the budget, they are 60% public safety. He said what is lacking for him is the plan, where it takes the Board through steps, so when they make policy decisions, they know what they are doing. He said they need a guiding document that compliments the budget, not instead of the budget, that helps the budget where the Sheriff's Office needs to be. He said he wants to engage in a problem solving exercise that would take into account the needs of the Sheriff's Department and fitting in with the overall plan of the County.
Clements said they haven't strategically planned because of the direct factor of going from crisis to crisis. He said he wants to be in line with the County's strategic plan. He said there is an urgency based on the critical public safety needs in terms of capacity that they need to chart a course and manage their future and provide the leadership.
Dwyer said he appreciated Clements responsibilities, but he has responsibilities that are broader, including Health and Human Services and all the other departments that are associated with the County. He said he is concerned that this may be premature, in light of the fact that they haven't identified any funding mechanisms or streams to be able to meet their objectives. He said he would rather reopen the forest camp and put rural deputies there and do what is needed so the public could see the results. He said with what they are proposing, the public will not be able to see the process. He added the Public Safety Coordinating Council is working hard to identify revenue streams that will be fair. He said he is concerned about bringing on an analyst of their own when the County is strapped. He said he is concerned that they are moving forward toward a position whereby if the Board can't identify some money, they will find disappointment. He said if the Board gives them what they want, it would be at the expense of somebody else.
Clements responded he sees it as a joint responsibility for them to identify where the money comes from. He said he is talking about developing the capacity to go forward as his best argument. He said regarding funding a research and development person (or a higher level fiscal or analytical deputy) as opposed to reopening the Forest Work Camp or putting deputies on the road, the money he is talking about cannot open any additional beds in the Forest Work Camp because of the staffing factor. He said he can put three plus deputies on the road, but that wouldn't staff one position, seven days a week, 24-hours a day, and would be a drop in the bucket. He said he would rather position for the future and be able to add to the numbers. He said they are at 25% to 30% of what they need in officers per thousands in responding. He said he has to develop a future oriented perspective. He said he can't afford to be reactive, he needs to be proactive and that is what he is trying to do.
Morrison said she thinks it is important to have the deputies on the street. She said she was in Veneta last Thursday night and they felt strongly about having a Sheriff presence. She added the public does not care if the department has an additional analyst. She said in order to build some good will, they have to do things that are visible, and the things in the plan are not part of that.
Clements responded that the deputies that would be funded by this would probably not end up in Veneta and those people will not see them because they can't spread three deputies in 4,600 square miles, seven days a week and make that much of a difference. He said their deficits are so huge in terms of ability to respond that it will require a total revamping of the work force size to be able to address the needs. He said the analyst would be able to assist them in planning to put forth what best suits the needs of Lane County for enhanced level of services.
Green stated he did not hear support. He said there were concerns about costs and asked the Board if they wanted to engage in an exercise.
Weeldreyer said she agreed with Green in trying to reach this from a problem solving mode. She said there may not be the resources to do everything, but something needs to be done to provide a productive process.
Sorenson said he would like to problem solve.
Green said he was interested in the Washington County model to see if it matches Lane County and to keep options open for grant dollars. He said he would rather engage in making this work from an organizational standpoint instead of doing it separately.
Dwyer stated from a budget standpoint, no matter what the PSCC does, it won't happen in the fiscal year 99/00, so there is nothing they can do to change the budget aspect. He said the earliest anything that PSCC could do is 2000/2001. He observed people do not see an analyst drive by, but they do see a deputy.
Morrison said as time goes by, they will be able to determine what they need and don't need and there may be ways of finding additional money. She said the strategic plan will allow them flexibility in doing that.
Green indicated that there were two Board members interested and he would rather engage in a smaller steering committee meeting to work on some of the issues and talk about possibilities.
Sorenson recommended that Green and Weeldreyer meet with the Sheriff to hear his views on the topic and as a result of that discussion, they could invite the Sheriff back.
Green stated the Finance and Audit Committee already deals with these issues and it would be a good vehicle to discuss the issues as there is a minutes taker present. He said he would see about getting it on the future agenda. He added they can bring the recommendation from the committee to the Board.
Green announced they have a meeting request from Mary of Senator Ron Wyden's office to meet with the Board on April 7. He added it will be a lunch meeting from 12:30 p.m. to 1:15 p.m. He said possible topics include the National Guard Armory, Federal Payments and Decoupling.
Dwyer reported that in regard to the spraying of chemical applications at Blue Mountain, he is exploring available resources through Americacorp, Northwest Youth Corps and GWEB. He said they indicated for what it would cost the County to do the chemical eradication, that they could supply about 22 days of labor. He said in the next budget cycle, the Board needs to identify the services the County is doing that may impact the river and develop a way to change its mode of operation. He said it is in the state and federal government's interest to have Lane County change. He said it is a good opportunity and he is coordinating the effort with Bob Keefer.
Weeldreyer stated there will be a Y2K meeting at 7:00 p.m. in the new gymnasium at Pleasant Hill Elementary School and it is for the communities of Pleasant Hill, Dexter, Lowell and Fall Creek. She said they will divide up at the meeting in geographic areas and have people meet one another and come up with questions. She mentioned the County had received funding from the National Forest to be able to put an interpretive center in the location of the Lowell Covered Bridge. She said it would help pay for the cost of installing bathrooms and extending the parking area. She said it has been high on the Lowell community's list. She added there is a separate grant fund to get from the state transportation improvement plan that would give them money to rehabilitate the bridge itself. She said she suggested to the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), a number of scenic tour routes throughout Lane County, but the only one that the transportation commission accepted was the South Lane tour route. She said the only thing that is blocking that is a May 1 deadline. She said an ordinance needs to be in place that limits off-premise signs so once it is designated as a tour route and becomes on the state scenic tour route, there will be a desire to want to advertise along the route. She said it does not address existing signs, only new signs or relocating signs. She added it does require the City of Cottage Grove to go through an extensive process to amend their code.
There being no further business, Commissioner Green adjourned the meeting at 3:15 p.m.

Ganesier "Ram" Ramachandran, a former St. Charles Parish Council member, has announced his candidacy for the 56th District seat in the Louisiana House of Representatives.
Ramachandran, a Destrehan consulting engineer, said in a statement that his goals are to foster transparency in government at all levels, invest in vocational training to ensure a trained work force for local industry, and provide levee protection for St. John the Baptist Parish and areas of St. Charles Parish that don't have it. He is not affiliated with a political party.
He also said he would back an intermodal cargo facility on the Mississippi River and work to reduce transport costs for petrochemical plants by developing a rail route that bypasses New Orleans.
Ramachandran said he opposes unfunded mandates from the state government.
The 56th District encompasses most of St. Charles Parish except for Hahnville, Boutte and Killona and parts of Luling and St. Rose. Portions of LaPlace also are in the district.
The election is Oct. 22. A runoff, if necessary, will be Nov. 19.

Seeing that dead end and having little to no formal work experience, Toole, 21, sought out help from the Goodwill Job Connection, located off Pine Log Road.
"It's really been so helpful," Toole said. "When I came here, I didn't know what to do. I didn't know how to dress or do anything to really get a job ... It was a struggle when I first came here."
Toole's case isn't unlike many of the other situations Jennifer Hart sees on a daily basis. Hart is the community director for the Goodwill Industries of Middle Georgia and CSRA.
Throughout the day, the Goodwill Job Connection will be filled with various ages, demographics and capable individuals, she said.
"You see people from all walks of life," Hart said. "In here, you can have engineers from the (Savannah River) Site, veterans, nurses and teachers. We see a number of professions, but we also see a mix of people who have no path, no education and very little hope."
When the Job Connection opened about three years ago, the center served more than 2,000 people from July 2011 to June 2012.
In the most recent fiscal year (2013-2014), that number increased by 600. However, during that same period, the number of individuals who became employed through Goodwill's assistance rose from 282 in 2011-2012, to more than 500 in 2013-2014, earning an average wage of more than $10.50 per hour.
Hart worked in human resources before joining Goodwill. She said before the recession, finding a qualified individual to fill another job opening was difficult.
"You're trying to get this qualified person out of a job they probably already do well in, so you really had to be competitive to take them away from their already fantastic career," Hart said. "But then, you really saw a swing once the recession hit, and after, where if I had an opening for an entry-level position ... I could easily get 200 to 300 applications over a weekend ... You saw so many that had previously held higher-paying jobs and now are willing to accept lower because they needed to work."
In the pre-recession's peak in 2004, the number of those in the civilian non-institutional population age 16 or higher, which were employed or actively seeking employment, sat at about 73,300 in Aiken County and 12,500 in the City of Aiken, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
By 2007, when the recession hit, those employed or actively seeking employment grew to almost 75,000 in Aiken County and almost 14,000 in the City of Aiken.
As the recession began to wane in 2009, Aiken County's labor force continued to grow to almost 76,000, and the City of Aiken's labor force grew to roughly 14,000.
Just last year, the number dipped from 2012 to 2013 in Aiken County from about 78,000 to 76,000. The number grew in the City of Aiken from approximately 13,754 to approximately 13,771.
Dips in those numbers can mean various things, USC Aiken professors Dr. Clifton Jones and Dr. Sanela Porca wrote in the recently-released Regional Economic Benchmarking Report For Aiken County.
Those dips can mean individuals are attending school, some have retired, others are unemployed by choice, or some individuals have become so discouraged from employment opportunities in their area and have decided to not look for work, according to the study.
"When I listened to the economic analysis of our area ... one of the things he (Jones) spoke about that resonated with me was the true unemployment rate," Hart said. "There is a population that has lost hope and just stopped looking."
As of last year, Aiken County had almost 72,000 residents employed, with only about 5,800 unemployed. The City of Aiken had almost 13,000 residents with employment and almost 1,000 unemployed.
"Of greater concern may be the fact that Aiken County employment fell from 2012 to 2013 by almost 300 jobs, while employment continued to rise in South Carolina and the nation," Porca and Jones wrote. "In the City of Aiken, employment has been falling each year since 2011. There are almost 200 fewer jobs in Aiken County in 2013 than in 2011, and half of those came out of the City of Aiken. The City of Aiken has now lost 427 jobs since 2007, and doesn't look like it will replace those jobs anytime soon."
While statistics show a less-than-favorable workforce outcome within Aiken, Toole said he's optimistic.
"I want to go into veterinary medicine down the road, but right now, I am interested in finding a cashier, cook or busboy job. I'll take whatever is available," Toole said. "But I know if I hadn't attended any classes, I'd still be sitting at that dead end."

What did you switch from? If anything. In a shallow tank like that (mine too) I'd turn it to 10/20/20 and go from there. Leave it at that setting for 3 weeks and slowly bring it up like 3-5% every week-two weeks. Seems excessive, but everything will be better for it. I definitely scaped my new shallow with light intensity in mind.
Im starting a nano for the first time using leds. I had broke down my previous tank and am back into the hobby with leds. Some of the corals i got from a lfs others from hobbiest. I know the water Q is good and the flow is good but cant seem to figure out intensity. I will be getting a 16 inch deep tank soon and will transfer everything. It just seems to me leds are really powerful. What would you start on a 16 inch deep tank?

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - All seven New Orleans police officers facing murder or attempted murder charges in deadly shootings that followed Hurricane Katrina, will be allowed to post bail and the six who remain on the force can return to work for limited duty, a judge said Friday.
One former officer, now a truck driver in Texas, can also return to work, Judge Raymond Bigelow said.
Four of the officers face first-degree murder charges that carry a possible death sentence. At least some of the officers will be required to wear monitoring devices and will be confined to home, work, attorney visits or court appearances, Bigelow said during the officers' first court appearance since their indictments last week.
The amount of bail was not immediately clear.
All seven officers pleaded not guilty Friday.

Melbourne housing estate to receive facelift
An inner city Melbourne housing estate is set to receive a cash injection of $274,000 for major upgrades.
The Horace Petty public housing estate in Prahran will undergo works including the redevelopment of a playground and the introduction of an elderly visitation program.
First home buyers or people looking to add to their property investment portfolio may be attracted to the area after the government's announcement on June 14.
Minister for housing Wendy Lovell said redevelopment to the housing estate would include a $150,000 upgrade to the Prahran adventure playground, $100,00 for the a new community hub and IT project and $24,000 for the implementation of an elderly visitation program.
Ms Lovell said: "The exciting thing about this announcement is that there's something for people at all stages of their lives."
"From children to parent, jobseekers to the elderly, we're partnering with local groups to deliver a more inclusive, community-focused estate."
The Horace Petty Estate dates back to the 1960s and 1970s and has been the focus of a government renewal plan previously.
Bordered by Bray and Simmons Streets, and Malvern and Surrey Roads in South Yarra, the estate is in a prime inner city location, close to all amenities, schools and public transport.

Crucible filed for bankruptcy May 6 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware citing the economic downturn as the reason. In court filings in July, the company listed $17 million in assets and $70.4 million in debts.
Under an agreement with its lender, Wachovia Capital Finance Corp., Crucible has been trying to sell all of its operations, which include Crucible Specialty Metals on State Fair Boulevard in Geddes, as well as the Pittsburgh operations.
The company put on hold plans to close the Geddes mill last week to allow potential buyers to see the plant in operation. On Friday, Crucible notified the state Department of Labor and the 693 employees that it had extended the closing to Oct. 16.
Nine companies have expressed interest in buying Crucible, according to court documents. The United Steelworkers and company officials continue to meet with potential buyers.
Bids for Crucible must be submitted by Sept. 17. If more than one bidder emerges, an auction will be held on Sept. 21.
Crucible makes stainless steel, alloy steel, tool steel and valve steel used in the automotive, aerospace, petrochemical and other industries. It also has a research division devoted to advanced metallurgical research and development of new products and processes.

RE: Help Harness lines
Hi Michael,
What kind of harness spreader/hook are you using? Also, what's your weight?
I'm surprised that you're getting such poor serviceablity and longevity out of your lines. While I haven't been tracking how long my lines last, reflecting back over the years, I get quite a bit of use before failure. The result is the same though, as the line breaks before the plastic tubing or the attachment webbing fails. However, to clarify a bit, the break in the line always occurs in the area where the harness hook comes in contact with the line. Although I'm not really a heavy sailor (about 70kgs), I have a rich history of breaking boom front ends, so I must be putting a lot of pressure on the harness lines while sailing.

FBI agents said a man they arrested earlier Monday at a residence in Harrisburg was involved in the retaliation kidnapping of a North Carolina assistant district attorney's father.
The arrest was announced on the FBI Charlotte Division's website after agents from the bureau's office in Philadelphia located Jakym Camel Tibbs in a home off Reel Street just before 7 a.m. Tibbs marked the seventh arrest made in the case since the April 5 kidnapping of Frank Janssen, the father of a Wake County assistant district attorney, according to the release.
Authorities believe Jenssen was kidnapped in retaliation against his daughter's handling of the state's case against Kelvin Melton, an inmate at the Polk Correctional Institution in Butner, North Carolina, the release states.
Jenssen was rescued from a home in Atlanta a few days later and five other suspects were taken into custody, eventually leading agents to identify Quantavious Thompson, who was arrested April 16 in Atlanta, and Tibbs, according to the release.
The FBI in Charlotte and Atlanta were offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to the arrests of the last two men, but it was not clear as of Monday whether the offering of the reward led to Tibbs' arrest, according to the release.

8311 Jefferson Highway, Harahan
(504) 305-2720
Rob O'Shaughnessy got into the seafood business by way of his interest in serving people pork and beef.
After the levee breaches, he said, "I was looking for a place to do barbecue and hot tamales on Airline Highway."
Turns out Charlie's -- it says "Charles" on the sign, but no one calls it that -- had been badly storm-damaged and was up for sale. Established in 1951, the restaurant had an existing base of customers when O'Shaughnessy reopened it last fall.
The diners expected the fresh boiled and fried seafood, not the barbecued chicken, brisket and pork, all of which are cooked on a hardwood smoker in the front of the building; or the excellent tamales, made from the recipe of O'Shaughnessy's aunt Roberta Guignard, who also prepares Charlie's seafood gumbo and crawfish bisque with stuffed heads. I like to think of a meal that begins with a few pounds of the mudbugs followed by an order of the tamales in their thin, spicy gravy as the surf and turf of the new South.
What to expect: A full-service restaurant with New Orleans seafood dishes, barbecue and great hot tamales.

GENESEE COUNTY, MI -- Same-sex couples who want to marry in Michigan may get marriage licenses in Genesee County on Monday, March 24.
That is, however, only if a judicial stay isn't issued, said Genesee County Clerk-Register of Deeds John Gleason.
"We intend to accept the first applications 8 a.m. Monday morning," Gleason said.
Gleason said he also expects to have ministers available in the office to make the marriages official. He said at least one minister plans to be in the office Monday. Follow this link for information from the Clerk's office on what couples need to bring to the courthouse.
U.S. District Judge Bernard Friedman has ruled Michigan's gay marriage ban unconstitutional.
Friedman issued the ruling Friday, prohibiting the state from continuing to enforce the Michigan Marriage Amendment.
"In attempting to define this case as a challenge to 'the will of the people,' state defendants lost sight of what this case is truly about: people," the judge concluded.
"No court record of this proceeding could ever fully convey the personal sacrifice of these two plaintiffs who seek to ensure that the state may no longer impair the rights of their children and the thousands of others now being raised by same-sex couples."
The state immediately filed notice of appeal, but the judge did not issue a stay of his ruling, as have judges in other states after overturning marriage bans with appeals anticipated.
The lack of a stay means same-sex couples could theoretically apply for marriage licenses immediately, but the ruling was issued after 5 p.m. Friday, when most government offices close for the weekend.
Deborah Baldwin and Aimee Loubert have waited years for the opportunity to marry. The two spent Friday afternoon in the Genesee County Courthouse, hoping to be the first to marry.
They clutched a manilla envelope with their birth certificates and other information they need. The words "marriage stuff" written on the front. Their new wedding rings were in their pockets.
They weren't able to marry Friday. But they plan to be first in line Monday morning.
"I am hopeful and excited for the first time in a long time," said Loubert, 45.
The Flint women have been together almost 20 years. They met while singing in a choir. Baldwin, 60, said she never thought she'd see the day she would be allowed to marry.
"I didn't think I would see it in my lifetime," Baldwin said.

CC Humane has great programs worthy of any volunteer's time & effort; such as Kitty Korner a wonderful, loving, on-site foster facility for the cutest kitties ever! My favorite program is Animeals wherein CC Humane partnered with the Contra Costa Food Bank to offer dog/cat food to the Food Bank's clients. This allows the Food Bank clients a small food base for their pets as well as an arena for us to educate and assist with pet questions, spay & neuter information and possible programs that can assist with the cost of neutering a pet. As a dog trainer, I'm always happy to answer questions or give my opinion on a training issue. Overall, from the Board of Directors right down to the volunteers such as myself, all are committed people working for the good of our entire community!!

Hurricane Irene forces evacuations on Staten Island
According to the governor's office, the Metropolitan Transit Authority will institute a system-wide shutdown when subways and buses begin their final runs starting at approximately noon.
The shutdown will include Staten Island Railway, Long Island Rail Road, Metro-North Railroad and Access-A-Ride.
A hurricane watch is in effect for New York City and Long Island for Sunday, with storm conditions possible Saturday night.
Cuomo's office says major bridges in the city and lower Hudson Valley and the state Thruway will close if sustained wind speeds top 60 miles per hour.New Jersey Transit trains will stop running at noon Saturday because of Hurricane Irene.
Hospitals and nursing homes in the borough's flood zones continue the process of evacuating patients, as mandated under City Hall's emergency plan ahead of Hurricane Irene.
A day after evacuating babies from its neonatal unit, Staten Island University Hospital this morning began removing approximately 360 patients from its Ocean Breeze and Prince's Bay campuses. Officials termed the measures "unprecedented."
The hospital used fully-staffed ambulances for critical patients, and even MTA buses assisting in removing patients to other hospitals, both competing facilities and others in the North Shore-LIJ family.
Non-critical patients are being discharged, said SIUH spokeswoman Arleen Ryback.
"This is a time for everyone to pull together," said Michael Dowling, president and CEO of North Shore-LIJ.
Officials said both SIUH facilities will have staff on hand to handle emergencies throughout the weekend.

TRENTON – The first three times Jaron Long took the mound for the Thunder, he and the team got a win.
Long didn't get the decision Saturday night in his fourth start, a game that was far from over when Long, who joined the Thunder just July 7, left after five innings with a four-run deficit. The Thunder went on to lose the game to the Binghamton Mets, 10-7, before 7,103 at Arm & Hammer Park.
Thunder manager Tony Franklin had high praise for Long heading into the game, and despite the no-decision, Long showed he's got promise.
"He's got what plays at the major leagues; he's got movement, and that always plays," Franklin said before comparing Long to a pair of former Thunder players who went on to join the Yankees, Joba Chamberlain and Ivan Nova. "Two things that Jaron does extremely well is he throw strikes and he makes guys hit the ball."
Two plays all but sealed that Saturday night wouldn't see Long's fourth Double-A win. Three straight singles to start the game led to a Binghamton run when Brian Burgamy had the last of those hits, and an error by right fielder Jake Cave in trying to cut down speedy Mets prospect Dilson Herrera going from first to third helped set up two more runs. Herrera came home on the play, and Burgamy got an extra base, coming home on a Dustin Lawley groundout.
Trenton was able to get two runs back in the bottom of the first when Binghamton starter Gabriel Ynoa ran into his own early troubles, giving up four singles including run-scoring hits from Gary Sanchez and Tyler Austin.
Long then retired 11 of 12 hitters until the fifth inning, when Herrera homered on a full-count, two-out pitch to bring home a leadoff Darrell Ceciliani double and a two-out walk to Brandon Nimmo, making it 6-2.
Both teams rallied, Trenton taking a 7-6 lead after six innings before Binghamton went ahead 10-7 after a first half of the seventh that was ugly for both sides. Trenton saw 10 Mets bat with the four runs, two earned, charged to reliever Phil Wetherell (0-3), and the Mets saw both manager Pedro Lopez and Ceciliani tossed. Lopez got the thumb after an argument with plate umpire Doug Del Bello, and when play resumed, Trenton reliever James Pezos plunked Ceciliani on the shoulder. Ceciliani then had words for Del Bello before heading to first base, and Del Bello instead sent Ceciliani to the Mets' clubhouse.
Cave had a triple in the fifth and sixth inning, becoming the most recent Thunder player since Bradley Suttle in 2011 to equal the team record at two three-baggers in a game. Cave finished the game 4-for-5 with a double and a walk. Peter O'Brien had a solo home run in the fifth, his 21st homer since getting the call-up from Single-A Tampa in early May.
Long gave up the six runs on six hits and two walks, striking out two in his five innings. The six runs were a high for Long's pro career, which began last August, and the four earned runs matched a high set that month with Single-A Tampa. The Yankees signed the 22-year-old as an undrafted free agent after his junior season at Ohio State University last spring.
Sanchez's first-inning single, one of his three hits, continued his hitting streak to an 11th game, tying a career best he set in April 2012 while playing with Single-A Charleston.
Outfielder Mason Williams, the Yankees' No. 2 prospect according to MLB.com in its 2014 Prospect Watch, sat out Friday night's game before returning to the lineup Saturday night. Franklin said before the game that he expects to see Williams back in Double-A next season, which would be the first time Williams has been at the same minor-league level in parts of three seasons in a pro career that began in 2010.
"This is probably the toughest jump from A-ball to this level," Franklin said. "If you can't make those adjustments, you're going fail a little bit; you're going to step back a little bit. Well, I think Mason's stepped back a little bit. That's not to say he doesn't have the talent enough to play, because he does."
WHO: Binghamton (RHP Rainy Lara 5-3, 4.50) at Trenton (LHP Manny Banuelos 0-3, 5.20).

I'm a day late on this one, but it's seriously worth posting, anyway.
The Progress Report
August 27, 2012
Casino magnate Sheldon Adelson is by far the GOP's biggest donor. He has already plowed more than $35 MILLION into the presidential race and says he'll spend a "limitless" amount to defeat President Obama, perhaps more than $100 MILLION.
Adelson also has his eye on the House of Representatives. He is almost single-handedly bankrolling a Super PAC associated with House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA), having given the group $5 MILLION. And just last week, Adelson is reported to have contributed $500,000 to a Super PAC backing a single House candidate. That's right, half a million dollars to influence a single House race.
While these numbers are huge — and pose a huge threat to our democracy — they are actually small potatoes for right-wing billionaires like Adelson.
This handy infographic puts it all into perspective.

Reading officials address confusion over collection of yard waste
Officials are trying to clear up confusion about yard waste collections in Reading.
They said they've been getting a lot of questions ever since a brochure about the collections was mailed to residents.
Yard waste will be picked up on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, said public works officials. The collections will not affect trash or recycling schedules.
Yard waste includes bags of leaves, shrub clippings or tied-up bundles of branches and twigs.
"The piles should be no more than about four feet in length, about three feet high. Once again, something manageable for one person," said Kyle Zeiber, operations division manager, Reading Public Works Department.
Yard waste should be placed in recyclable bags and left on the curb.
The city will stop collecting loose leaves at the end of the month.

Scroll down to October 6 and go to the far right, click and it's on.
It has been started, we are in group 2, the Georgians are skating
Kaitlyn and Andrew just went! My stream crapped out for a chunk of it, but I really liked the program. She's wearing a gray dress with tights - very light gray, not my favorite costume.
Does anyone know what time the men's long program is supposed to start?
As for the costumes, I don't love her's either, but the impression I got watching the program was that she was a statue coming to life, so I think it fits the theme.
Weaver and Poje created a spell, once again. Their program is full of beautiful, original moves, and I thought the only thing wrong with Kaitlyn's costume was that she seemed uncomfortable in it. She was fussing with it all through the warm-up, and it was still bothering her in the kiss and cry. Andrew looked like a dream, and so will she, once that skirt gets organized. I loved the progam.
My vid glitched big time in the middle.. but what I saw I liked... I hope there'll be a better Youtube..
Ooooh, I like this new W/P program! Original and well-choreographed. Interesting choice of music I also love her costume for this concept.

Market can not hold any gain.
May be indexes are too high.
IMO, All indicies are bulbous and have a long way to fall. Not to say all stocks will and this close to an Ex-Div, WAG might go up a few points before leveling or falling lower. The cereal box hasn't shaken out on this one yet, IMO. After Christmas, and a couple of months with Express back, we'll see.
May depend on the election?

Stuttgart is traditionally the biggest GrandSlam of the Latin Series. Making it to the final and onto the podium is harder in Stuttgart than at any other location. Even if the finalists generally don't dance until round three, they must complete six rounds of five dances each before the winners are declared.
An amazing 371 couples appeared on the starting lists, among them the biggest names in the Latin dances. Moldovans Gabriele Goffredo and Anna Matus, the #1 in the World Ranking, are looking for their third successive win in the Series.
But reigning European Champions Armen Tsaturyan and Svetlana Gudyno of Russia are competing as are couples who danced the final round in the two previous legs: Charles-Guillaume Schmitt and Elena Salikhova of France, and Marius-Andrei Balan and Khrystyna Moshenska of Germany.

Notice to WEIU Viewers with DirecTV Service
We're reaching out to you today because of an urgent issue that is impacting your ability to view WEIU programs. DirecTV has recently relocated one of its satellite receivers to an AT&T building in Decatur, which was formerly located in Springfield.
Normally, this would not be an issue, as Decatur is still in our market as defined by the FCC. However, WEIU signals do not reach this location in Decatur with the minimum quality required by the DirecTV.
As a result, DirecTV has dropped WEIU from its satellite carriage — and viewers who have previously been able to receive our unique programming like Being Well, City Spotlight, The Paw Report, NewsWatch can now no longer watch these programs at home.
As part of a must-carry agreement, DirecTV is required to fund any expenses we would incur in providing them our signal if this relocation happened before a normal renewal cycle (which it has) ... unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be happening.
This is why we need your help. Please reach out to DirecTV and request that it carries WEIU — let them know how important it is for this channel to come back in your viewing area. Please call DirecTV at 1-855-802-3473 and let them know that WEIU is an educational programming asset in your community and you can't afford to lose it.

Andrea McKenna - Program Manager
When Did You Start at WEIU? June 2012
Favorite Show on WEIU-TV: Masterpiece Classic, such as Downton Abbey, Birdsong and Mr. Selfridge and Masterpiece Mystery such as Sherlock, Inspector Lewis and Wallender. The best of British television drama comes right to your TV without commercial interruption! What's not to like?
What have you learned while working at WEIU? Coming from a very different market in Texas, I've had to quickly learn about the community that WEIU serves, and I've become very fond of it. As I've gotten to know the staff at WEIU, I've learned how dedicated they are to bringing the kind of quality television that has relevance to the community, but still entertains and stimulates viewers — no easy feat in the age of 200 channels.
Why should someone become a member of WEIU? The question should be "Why wouldn't someone become a member of WEIU?" If you've ever enjoyed the wide range of programming WEIU provides; if your children or grandchildren have ever learned about letters or numbers or even social skills from the 11.5 hours of stimulating, non-violent and educational kids' programming WEIU provides each day; if you've been able to experience an opera or a Shakespearean play or a rock concert or a Broadway show that you wouldn't otherwise have had access to; if you've learned to knit or do woodworking or to cook by watching WEIU's programming, then why shouldn't you be a member of WEIU?
Is WEIU as important to you as it is to Andrea? Become a member today! Also, send us a message and let us know what WEIU means to you!
We love to hear from you!
If I wasn't able to watch WEIU, I don't know what I would do. I would most likely throw my television in the trash! I will continue to support good television and WEIU is GREAT TV.

Sir Thomas Sutherland, 1834 - 1922. Chairman of P. and O. Steamship Company 1882
Not on display
- Scottish Art
This portrait was painted the year after Sutherland became Chairman of the Peninsular and Oriental Shipping Company (P & O). He had been born in modest circumstances in Aberdeen but had worked his way up from the bottom of the Company with postings in India, China, Hong Kong and Egypt. Sir Thomas remained Chairman of P & O for thirty-three years. At his death he was senior Vice-president of the Suez Canal Company. He did much to maintain the supremacy of British shipping.
