NINETEENTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT, NY — In the race for endorsements, Julian Schreibman, a former federal prosecutor, has picked up far more Democratic committees than rival Joel Tyner, a five-time Dutchess County legislator. But Tyner thinks his hard-line stand on hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, will help him win the day.
Tyner called for a statewide boycott ban on fracking as far back as four years ago and has been very opposed to any use of fracking at all in the state. He goes further and, in fact, is supporting a call for a national moratorium on the practice.
Tyner says on his website, "Science has proven that the practice of 'fracking' is unsafe to our water, land and air. This process benefits only an elite few, while posing public health risks. This practice is dangerous unless the government restores measures formerly required under the Clean Air and Safe Drinking Water Acts." Tyner also quoted his opponent as saying, on an April 17 radio show, "In terms of the impact, I think the jury is still out."
However, the current message on Schreibman's website, while not calling for an outright ban, does seriously question the worth of drilling. He writes, "When it comes to hydro-fracking, the evidence all points to serious environmental and economic concerns, without a tangible economic benefit, especially as natural gas prices crater and estimates of shale gas reserves in New York prove to have been inflated. We cannot risk our air and water on an unproven and deeply concerning practice. Nor can we allow the disastrous effects of fracking that residents and communities in other states have faced to happen here in the Hudson Valley and Catskill Mountains."
Schreibman has been endorsed by outgoing Congressman Maurice Hinchey.
On another matter, Tyner and Schreibman share the same goal when it comes to protecting Medicare and Social Security. On his website, Tyner says that the programs need to be protected, and he goes a step further and endorses the idea of a single-payer plan for healthcare, in which Medicare is expanded to cover all Americans.
In addressing Medicare and Social Security, Schreibman attacks the Republican running for the office, Chris Gibson. Schreibman says, "Congressman Gibson and his friends in Washington have voted repeatedly to end Medicare as we know it. They want to replace the guaranteed benefit for seniors and instead give them coupons that, over time, will get them less and less of the healthcare that they need. Meanwhile, most Republicans in Washington want to endanger Social Security's future by eliminating the guaranteed benefit and risking our Social Security in the stock market. That's wrong, and I'll fight against that."
The winner of the June 26 primary will face Gibson in the fall. For his part, Gibson says he would "protect Medicare and Social Security benefits for current recipients and ensure future beneficiaries can count on those programs to be there when they need them." He added, however, "With Medicare projected to be bankrupt within a decade, keeping the status quo ends Medicare."

What a team performance! 1-17 deserve credit, The Briggs/Finn combo certainly impressed especially in first half and bringing Kain on as a sub to add a bit extra also seemed to work well.
Great scrambling defending and increased line speed also
Cant help but being impressed, DP got it spot on today.
Batley on that evidence - Dark horses? No
It looks another season of struggle for them but it is early days.
Thought all the ex fev players were anonymous in the game and did nothing apart from Handforth who spat his dummy out.
Fastest supporter exit of the season has an early leader in Batley, about 5 fans clapped their team off at the end and thank god we didnt hear 'who let the dogs out' this year apart from from the fev supporters upon seeing Batley fans run out of the ground!
Roll on Hunslet in midweek!

The fun of achieving. The Annual Senior (11/12) German High School Contest 2013
Jun 11/13
The German section of the Department of Languages & Literatures welcomed 18 high school students from 5 different high schools of the Waterloo region to the Annual Senior (11/12) German High School Contest 2013 on May 17.
The students competed in the categories grammar, audiovisual understanding, composition and oral competency.
The topic for the composition was this year "Freundschaft und Liebe" ('Friendship and Love') and in the audio-visual exam the participants tried to figure out an alleged murder of a chicken, based on a video clip of the German TV-show "Wetten dass ....", the equivalent of the North-American show "Hidden Camera".
The German section of the Department was delighted to hear that - like every year - some of the participants will return as Laurier students in the Fall.
The deserved winners are:
Regular Category: Rebecca Chapeskie (Bluevale Collegiate)
Advanced Category: Alicia Mell (Concordia German Language School)
School Trophy: Bluevale Collegiate (Teacher: Linda Jung)
High cash prizes for the top ranking students will be awarded by the German-Canadian Business and Professional Association of Kitchener- Waterloo in October.

During the 2007-08 writers' strike, Rob Corddry got bored and created the web series "Childrens Hospital," which has since joined the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim lineup. "Childrens Hospital," one of the funniest things on television, was recently nominated for an Emmy in the short-format category along with Emmy heavyweights "30 Rock" and "The Daily Show."
"I thought there must be a mistake … I'm trying to be cool about it. Everybody is really cool when they get nominated, like, 'We're all winners, blah, blah, blah.' I'm really giddy about it," Corddry said in an interview last week.
As a former correspondent on "The Daily Show," Corddry feels "Childrens Hospital" can beat out one of the most award-winning series of all time.
"Those guys wallpaper the office with Emmys. It's about time they pass the mantle to an absurd show that's meaningless. With that said, we're all winners," Corddry said.
While "Childrens Hospital" began as a spoof of TV's medical dramas, it has evolved with broader conceptual ideas in its third season. And it will continue to do so, because the series' brand of absurdist comedy allows the writers to create their own rules.
"I would go so far as to say we've abandoned the parody aspect of the show … This season especially is a huge experiment in that a majority of the episodes are what we used to call the special episodes — ones that took a lot of license and explore totally different ideas and worlds inside that hospital," Corddry said.
One of the concepts coming this season involves a flashback episode explaining how Chief (Megan Mullally) became the way she is, and "Childrens Hospital" — "the longest-running medical drama in the U.S." — is transformed into a British adaptation. Corddry also is spinning off one of the series' signature concepts, "Newsreaders" — a fake news, behind-the-scenes look at "Childrens Hospital" — into a series that will debut in early 2013.
While Corddry promises the fourth season will be different, the stable of guest stars will still be second to none. Jon Hamm and Nick Offerman return, and Dominic Monaghan, Frances Fisher, Timothy Busfield, and Jennifer Westfeldt will be making appearances.

Can the Knicks draft a top 5 player of all time and build around him?
I mean can this franchise change style?
no player that have to score regulary 20/30 +
no key main player that is forced to play like Kobe Bron Durant
can this team play total team something like 1 game vs heat on season openning i know this is just beggining but 20+ pts diffrence is realy something where all players are fresh.
watch Spurs even if Parker Duncan Manu are on bench Spurs are playing still with same energy
i am not listing Heat this is team that ESPN NBA loves and refs will be on their side
so Indiana is only team that can really compete with Heat and Spurs not Knicks.
or u wana say me that POPOVICH is the answer.
Can the Knicks draft a top 5 player of all time and build around him?
Great question...but the answer is no
What The Spurs have done is not only rare to The NBA but to Sports overall
The Spurs and Patriots (kills me to say as a Jet fan) have done like no two other teams, they can win a tittle every year, they have a winning pedigree not just talent
It's more than just draft picks (although they nail that year in and out) it's picking the right FA's and the right assistant coaches (underestimated aspect to their winning). They always add something each year but not too much to the point they uproot their culture
And of course Duncan and Pop don't hurt matters none
Pop being coach and GM is another major component too, Peter Holt is a great owner who gives Pop space to operate
"I'd Rather Melo shoot with 3 men on him than Jefferies shotting wide open"
-Jeff Van Gundy
The spurs have done something super rare, however it's not 100 percent skill. the only reason they were able to have this success post d Robinson is because while they were a perennial playoff team. D.r. Got injured and that one season they became a lottery team because of it and they drafted duncan
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
Ewing was drafted in 85 some ppl in herre wasnt even borned that day
But when i saw Ewing was traded for me it was like Tsunami disaster
and yes its truth i saw on ESPN that Spurs is best franchise is Sports profession
even when Celtics had 17 titles and Lakers 16 still Spurs are better winning %
totaly shocking news when i saw is that their strongest trio are 2nd alltime after Johnson Jabbar with winning
Lakers got 110 all time playoffs winnin Spurs already 99 which means they can be totaly the best ever next season.
this is why i dont like move for 1 elite player which "maintains" team with winning.
I dont like Spurs but i can have huge respect for them what they done they behaviour their coach which is already called Genious and he has been called for shortest answers interview
Knicks need to form their own blueprint and stop trying to follow somebody else's system. We got a legit star we need to get some two wags players around him. Develop an offensive system that isn't to reliant on the 3. Then just wait for Amare and tyson to come off the books. Thats it anything else is just overthinking a clear cut situation.
melo aint winning it for us himself, we need a real trio
well this next season is final season for Stat and Tyson and i am very dissapointed with Tyson i will not comment Amare his attacking style is very limited and very readable for defenders that is not some1 who can easly score only with dunks no jump shots
this team need some1 who can play backcourt frontcourt
i dont like teams that when 1 key player is out this is not working OKC
do u think that only Jax can set pieces for this team?
As long as this organization is ran by people with lack of longterm mentality we'll never be able to build a consistent championship-caliber team. I know it sounds harsh, but it's the way it is. It doesn't take a manager of the year to realize that our front office commits a blunder after blunder. 2009 draft, 2010 offseason, 2011 offseason, 2012/2013 in season roster adjustments... for God's sake, how can you miss out on five-six solid prospect and draft a bench warmer instead? How can you let David Lee walk and sign an older David Lee with bad knees to an uninsured 5 year $100M contract? Or how can you resign an injury-prone 35 year old guard to a $14M contract just to amnesty him a few months later? And last but not least, how dafuq can you trade a solid defensive minded guard for peanuts and keep an injured out of retirement bigman instead?
Assistant coach Pop did the opposite of Spurs headcoach Larry Brown.
Headcoach Pop build around Robinson, Elliot, and Avery, then let the 3 players tutor Duncan, Ginobli, and Parker with a lot of "OlD-Heads" on their roster season after season. Having great complimentary role-players like Horry, Malik Rose, Bowen, Kerr, and Finley playing to the beat of coach Pop, helped a lot in getting 4 championship rings.
The Knicks dont have a foundation to build a 1999 Spurs Team, so the 2013 Spurs team is out of the question...
SPurs are playing such style that players are scoring double figures each game all starting five too some reserves too.
POP style is one NO regular scorer like Melo KD Bron his style is TEAM EFFORT well Knicks was playing team effor
till injuries
brain players like Avery Johnson took Dallas to playoffs but lost to 8seed team it hurts
well i dont exactly compare Spurs 99 to Knicks but Knicks lost Ewing so who knows how that would be ended
Spree H20 with JVG sended no1 heat gone fishin in 1st round @ their floor as 8th this is really something
then war against Indiana with famous 4th point play
dont forget 99 was 1st title for Spurs's Duncan Robinson and Avery and they won title @ MSG.
We have to admin without MELO Knicks are 6-8th team in east.
Worst trade was on MELO that Knicks forsaken too many players for 1 Wilson Chandler was too big loos Galinari too.
No, they can't. Not as long as Dolan is at the helm.
"Those who believe in telekinetics, raise my hand."
Kurt Vonnegut
Lercher .... Great Post!
The long term plan of having committed players & coaches has never been apart of the Knicks organization ..
And still we are hard nose Knicks Fans ....
trading 2 championship rings Walt Clyde Frazier to Cleveland in the 1970's threw all us Knicks Fans a hard curve-ball to land Knicks Fans in the Felt Forum to praise Dr. Julius Erving in the ABA League's NY Nets team (the Knicks $7 dollar seats at the time went down to $5 dollars lol).
And trading Bill Cartwright (who was tutoring a sloppy Patrick Ewing) to the Chicago Bulls so Jordan could get his first Championship Ring .. then trading our rookie of the year PG Mark Jackson to the Spurs to average 13 or 14 assist per game from David Robinson .. time let us Knicks fans forgive about the what if - what if we had Twin Towers of Cartwright & Ewing with PF-Anthony Mason plus a backcourt of Mark & Starks .... But the trading of All-Star double-double team-player-David Lee that wouldve cost us $11M per were not the proof of a non-committed organization toward its players, then give me the BIG-Bucks $$$ to put on a Knicks Jersey from 3 players total salary for the 2013-14 season $58M should be enough proof when compared to the 3 teammates who took their team to the FINALS 3 consecutive times $56M in 2013-14 season.
check roster from 00-10 miserable
Jalen Rose Malik Rose Starbury Duhon Al harrington Q Rich Fred Jones Othela Harrington Travis Knight Howard Eisley C Weatherspoon M Doleac P Hardaway McDyess V Baker F Wiliams
i wont be listing longer all players which was traded to NY was way ago after their prime
none of them was playing D and none of them was scoring big time
they even score Glen Rice or Luc Longley
Knicks are richest franchise but now they singned long term players that now simply dissapoints.
Knicks just now after longs years have proper coach but not championship coach.
I dont know when Knicks we sing player with D abilty like Starks Mason oakley and ewing
that times there was no proper PG Ward or Child was awful Ward should be played in NFL .
B4 Melo Knicks got only H20 and Sprewell as playoff players.
goin back memoery from 2nd part of 90s just look @ heat roster
ZO T-hard PJ Brown MAshburn Majerle all of them are D players.

In Search Of...Captain Ike
Paddle Wheel Captain is Mississippi King
LA CROSSE, Wis. -- Every day, thousands of boats travel up and down the historic waters of the Mighty Mississippi. But I challenge you to find a captain quite as colorful as 87 year old Ike Hastings.
Ike is the very definition of a free spirit. "All my life I've been on the water and I like that."
He hails from Freeport, Illinois, at least he owns a home there - but the majority of his days are spent, barefoot here on the water traveling the Mississippi and beyond. "I used to lose wives that way because I'd be gone four months and I'd come back and no wife. Which was alright with me. But this one won't go. She's about 25-30 years younger than I am and she's decided she's going to stick it out. How many wives have you had? We're not going to go into that. Let's get back to the water. "
With his silver hair pulled back and gold earring dangling, Ike mans the wheel of his latest hand built boat the Pickett Hastings, named after his great grandfather. "This is boat number 47 that I built. I built the first one 80 years ago when I was 7. If I can live 'til it rusts I've got it made."
Ike is a true vagabond at heart, never dropping anchor in one place too long. "Be where you want to be....do what you want to do. Nobody's bothering me here. It's a beautiful place to be and I can do what the hell...heck I want."
This retired art teacher and world war two veteran is literally a man of many traits. Master boat builder, woodworker, he's even built and can fly an experimental plane. "This is big enough if I get rid of all the junk, I can put my airplane up here."
The life of a boat captain can sometimes be lonely ....but not so for Ike. He is in the constant company of his two best companions. This is my labradoodle, Belle. Sit Belle. And this is Harry. Can you say something, Harry? Can't you say something nice? Give me a kiss. He's 65 or 66 years old and he'll go over 100. So he's going to outlive me. I'm going to have to put him in my will!"
He's truly one of the rivers greatest characters as if out of a Mark Twain novel. "I wouldn't trade my life for anybody. I feel like I've got a lot of life left. Lots of plans. I'm not looking for the end. I'm looking for more things I want to do. Another 20 years. I figure about 107 I'll be ready to hang it up."
Which means you still have time to meet one of life's true gems. So if you find yourself on a river shore and you happen upon the Pickett Hastings, do yourself a favor and say hello to Captain Ike.

So you're ready for a new car – or at least a different car. The question is, what are you going to do to get rid of the old one?
According to AAA, 30 percent of used vehicles are sold by car owners directly.
"Selling a vehicle yourself is not difficult, but it does take time and effort," says John Nielsen, AAA director of Automotive Engineering and Repair. "Pricing the vehicle properly and preparing it for sale are keys to quickly selling the vehicle for a reasonable amount."
When selling your vehicle yourself, AAA recommends the following:
• Prepare your vehicle for sale. Prepare your vehicle for a buyer by having it professionally detailed. Remove any personal items from your vehicle, including any stickers you have placed on the exterior. Have your vehicle inspected by a repair shop prior to the sale and ask for a detailed report, which can be shared with perspective buyers.
• Determine a price. Determining the appropriate selling price is a critical step to selling your vehicle independently. Be realistic in the condition of your vehicle, very few vehicles are in "excellent" condition. Do your homework and keep a list of comparable prices from various vehicle pricing sources for any potential buyers to take with them.
• Spread the word. Marketing your vehicle for sale is another important step to successfully selling your vehicle independently. Use newspaper classifieds, social media technology and online websites to let others know you are selling your vehicle.
• Showing perspective buyers the vehicle: Once you prepare, price and market your vehicle for sale, you should receive inquiries from potential buyers. Use common sense and caution when showing your vehicle. Meet potential buyers in a public location and do not letthem test drive the vehicle by themselves. Be ready for questions, have detailed information readily available, include a CARFAX vehicle history report and keep repair and maintenance documents compiled and organized.
• Securing a payment. Once you have found a buyer for your vehicle, AAA recommends creating a bill of sale that both parties can sign and have it notarized. Notaries can be located at a bank or any AAA office. Always secure payment before you transfer ownership.
Options for payment include certified checks, cash or money order. AAA suggests completing a transaction at a bank to verify the payment is legitimate. If a buyer is uncomfortable with any part of the agreement, be cautious and use good judgment to avoid the possibility of being scammed.
AAA's tips for selling your vehicle independently are provided by AAA auto buying experts who test drive and evaluate hundreds of vehicles each year. AAA provides free vehicle reviews, localized pricing information and more for consumers online at AAA.com/AutoMaker.

U.S. Codex News—Friday, July 12, 2013
Recent Meetings
Codex Alimentarius Commission: The 36th Session of the Codex Alimentarius Commission met in Rome, Italy, July 1-5, 2013. The Commission marked its 50th Anniversary and reached consensus on a Strategic Plan which will guide its work from 2014 through 2019. The CAC also:
- Established a new Codex Committee on Spices and Culinary Herbs (CCSCH).
- Approved several hundred new provisions for food additives and maximum residue limits for pesticides.
- Adopted 33 other standards at Step 8 and Step 5/8 (final adoption), and 10 additional standards at Step 5 (for further consideration by relevant committees).
- Agreed to the establishment of an electronic working group that would consider the feasibility of additional work on a standard for processed cheese.
- Adopted two texts on animal feed, completing the work of the Task Force on Animal Feeding.
- Called on the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and World Health Organization (WHO) to consider expanding the donor base for the international, independent expert scientific review panels that provide the scientific advice needed to support Codex food safety standards.
- Noted the need for a successor initiative to the Codex Trust Fund to continue to support enhanced participation by developing countries in Codex work.
As a side event, the U.S. and the EU co-chaired a Facilitated Discussion on Root Causes of Standards Held at Step 8 (short of final adoption, with no clear path forward in some cases). This discussion was mandated by the 2012 Session of the Codex Committee on General Principles (CCGP) but was not part of the CAC agenda per se.
The U.S. Delegate's Report provides more detail on this Session, and has been published at: http://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsis/topics/international-affairs/us-codex-alimentarius/recent-delegation-reports/delegate-report-36th-session-cac.
The official report of this session will soon be available at: http://www.codexalimentarius.org/meetings-reports/en/
New Electronic Working Groups (eWG)
Committee on Contaminants in Foods (CCCF) agreed to establish an eWG, chaired by India, to prepare a discussion paper for consideration at the next session that defines the issue, identifies the available data, and specifies data requirements for establishing the maximum level (ML) for aflatoxins in ready-to-eat peanuts. Parties in the United States that are interested in contributing to the U.S. participation in the eWG should contact the U.S. Codex Office (firstname.lastname@example.com) as soon as possible. Interested Member Countries and observer organizations should provide the names, affiliations, email addresses and telephone numbers of their official designated representatives to: email@example.com with a copy to firstname.lastname@example.com by July 23, 2013.
Committee on Food Import and Export Inspection & Certification Systems (CCFICS) agreed to establish an eWG, led by Costa Rica, to revise the project document proposing new work on the development of a harmonized questionnaire (to address the burden of multiple questionnaires), taking into account the discussion at the CCFICS session in February 2013; and to prepare an outline of the proposed document for consideration at the next CCFICS session. Parties in the United States that are interested in contributing to the U.S. participation in the eWG should contact the U.S. Codex Office (email@example.com) as soon as possible. Interested Member Countries and observer organizations should provide the names, affiliations, email addresses and telephone numbers of their official designated representatives to firstname.lastname@example.com no later than July 22, 2013.
Data Call
Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues (CCPR): Japan requests Members to provide relevant consumption data on kumquat to perform further analysis to determine the appropriateness to include kumquats or to carry out additional dietary exposure assessment. At its session in May 2013, CCPR considered a Discussion Paper on the Review of the Commodity Groups in the Database for Maximum Residue Limits for Pesticides to Determine the Need for Revision of Relevant Group MRLs (revised fruit commodity groups of the Classification of Food and Animal Feed), and asked Japan to manage the data call. U.S. organizations that are interested in contributing to the U.S. response to this data call should provide their data to the U.S. Codex Office (email@example.com) by October 14. Observer organization should provide their data directly to the following addresses email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com, email@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com by October 31, 2013.

Music education would suffer under cutsJanuary 11,2013
I am writing today with great concern over the future of our music programs in the Montpelier school district. As I understand it, the present proposal is to eliminate one full-time music position from our district, leaving just one teacher per school, who presumably would be asked to teach in multiple disciplines. I am a parent of two high schoolers who benefit from the music program and am a longtime musician myself, having performed in choral groups, bands and community theater groups throughout my life. It is imperative to understand that a reduction in our music programs will weaken and compromise the education of our students in the near and long term.
I believe the music teachers are already stretched thin and yet continue to do an amazing job, maintaining a viable and high-quality music program for our students (including students from all economic backgrounds), despite challenging schedules and declining enrollment. Each of our teachers is well trained in his or her specific musical discipline and was hired to instruct in this specialty. We cant expect the choral teacher to conduct the orchestra or the orchestra teacher to direct the jazz band if we want to maintain the quality of our music education department. As a lifelong musician, I can tell you that the director/conductor makes all the difference and cannot be replaced by someone without specialized education and experience. We as a community highly value these programs and our excellent music faculty, and our district would suffer if it is not maintained at its current level.
I understand the general nature of the economic challenges we face in Montpelier, and I am also concerned with budget/tax issues. I am sympathetic to the task of keeping our school budget under control. However, taking one full-time position away from the music department is not the answer and will have unintended consequences for our students, our reputation and our future. If we reduce the music department when we are faced with declining enrollment, I foresee that the program will never fully recover. It will be difficult if not impossible to revive. The community needs to understand and take these implications into account when evaluating any cuts. I believe our music program to be an integral piece of our students education in the Montpelier school district and one worth preserving at its current level of staffing.

|Fantus Paper Products' 50-7109 Christmas card has some issues
The problem with the domes and minarets is that they do not belong to Herodian Judea. Further, they do not belong to this time. The video below shows a model of Jerusalem at the time of Herodian Judea/Tetrarchy/Roman Judea. Notice that there are only a few domes anywhere and they mostly feature as accents on roofs. Spires are almost unseen.
The modern dome was invented and popularized by the Romans which just reached Judea at the time of Christ's birth. The widespread use of domes in the Middle East did not come until the Byzantine dome was popularized in the 500s and the dome's adoption by Muslim conquerors in the 600s. Minarets meanwhile were based on Christian bell towers. Bell towers were first introduced to churches by Saint Paulinus of Nola around AD 400.
After looking at the Christmas card pile I own I found even more historical geographical errors.
|The card on the left, by Paper Magic Group, shows a 1,001 Arabian Nights-style Bethlehem complete with olive domes and desert scenery. Meanwhile the card on the right has minarets and is published by the Catholic priest society the Columban Fathers.
|On yet another card a minaret shows.
|Even the Aid to the Church in Need, a Catholic charity reach reports directly to the Vatican, has minarets on its Christmas card envelops.
I suspect mere historic and geographic ignorance is to blame for the cards rather than a political statement unlike a priest adding a mosque to a nativity scene to promote inter-faith harmony or Austrians protesting a Swiss law by adding minarets to Christmas cards.

New Bill Allows California College Students to Download Core Textbooks for Free

Thanks to two new bills, there is financial relief at last
Whether you're racking up tuition fees now or still paying student loans after graduation, you know one thing is for sure: College is expensive. To make matters worse, the spending doesn't end at a semester of classes -- there's books that need to be purchased as well, and they're worth more than a little bit of pocket change.
But if you're going to school in California, a bit of relief has finally come your way in the form of two bills: SB 1052 and SB 1053.
Both bills, which were crafted by Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg (D-Sacramento), will allow California college students to download up to 50 core textbooks for free in
the form of e-books
. The e-books are for lower-division courses and are for classes at the University of California, California State University and California Community Colleges.
More specifically, SB 1052 allows for the development of the e-books and the creation of the California Open Education Resources Council for e-book approvals. SB 1053 has developed the California Digital Open Source Library to store the new e-books.
"Many students are paying more than $1,000 every year on their textbooks, sometimes having to choose between buying the books they need or paying for food and other living expenses," said Steinberg.
The new e-book bills were signed by Governor Jerry Brown on Thursday. They are expected to go into effect starting in the 2013-14 school year.
Digital textbooks are certainly becoming the new way of learning in institutions around the globe. This new form of educational offerings was further boosted by Apple earlier this year, who released
iBooks 2 and iBooks Author
that allow for the creation of digital textbooks and makes them available for purchase on the iPad.
"Game reviewers fought each other to write the most glowing coverage possible for the powerhouse Sony, MS systems. Reviewers flipped coins to see who would review the Nintendo Wii. The losers got stuck with the job." -- Andy Marken

Family activities are wonderful for creating memories, building family unity and having fun. It's important to pick activities that the whole family can enjoy, remembering that not everyone enjoys things in exactly the same way. Building a spring garden together, while using each child's dominant sense, can make each part of the process enjoyable for all.
The auditory child is patterned based with his thinking, so he will love the mathematics of planning a garden, and enjoy the drawing of plans and the picking out of flowers and vegetables. Be sure to discuss concepts like growth time, sunlight needs and watering recommendations, as all these are concepts they can understand easily. An older child will take great pride in learning which vegetable plants support the other, in a more holistic type of garden patch. The auditory child will be attentive to timely planting, and spot-on about knowing when vegetables or flowers should be available for picking. They will be good at the general upkeep of the garden, even before the flowers or vegetables are showing signs of life, and they will water and weed in a gradual process, a little each day.
The visual child will be able to envision the end product and give great insight into the color combinations, patterns and details no one else would ever have thought of. She will be excited to draw up detailed plans, and be sure to bring her to the nursery to pick out the plants – the visual stimulation of all the plants in one place will be a joy, and might spark new ideas. Your visual child will be the first ones to weed and straighten any plant growing out of line, and the first to notice any new growth. The visual child's persistence in seeking perfection means he will eagerly maintain the garden, and truly enjoy the fruits of their labor: the vegetables perfectly presented on the table, or the flowers beautifully arranged in a vase.
The tactile child will love the actual planting process – in the ground digging, fertilizing and watering. Being doers, they will prefer the hard work stages of growing a garden. Expect them to get messy, so wear old clothes and make the rules clear in advance – in their enthusiasm, you could end up with a hole being dug to China, or a garden patch four times larger than expected. They will need to be monitored with the planting, as their focus is to get the job done, not necessarily to have it look pretty. They find it hard to conceptualize the future look of a garden, so plans (or rules) are very important to getting a garden that looks good when finished.
Fairies in the garden! Taste and smell children will respond to the possibilities of what could be, and their imaginations will play a great role. They won't really respond to the reasoning behind why things should be planted in a particular place or order and will be more interested in the "feel" of the garden. They will like to build little home for imaginary creatures, so having a gnome looking after the beans, or the possibility of fairies living in the dahlias will spark their interest more than the actual plants. They will take great pride in showing their loved ones their garden, and preparing dinner with the produce, but perhaps they may still be fussy about the taste.
Many activities can be enhanced and adapted to encourage your child's participation, and by understanding your child's dominant sense you can enhance the aspects which your child will enjoy most, and know which parts will be a challenge

The expected reaction from the right-wing radicals has occurred. I obviously sent Hellfire into a tirade since he felt that he needed to post multiple blogs about President Obama lying. I imagine that he downloaded the clips from World News Daily or some other right-wing Website so I choose to ignore his stupidity. However, he may be interested to see some the artwork and articles that I have available in response.
This should be fun.

That was one of two expensive bombs the head of the Beeville Volunteer Fire Department dropped on the council.
He said the facility on the east side of City Hall, facing the 100 block of West Cleveland Street, is cramped now that the BVFD has to park several new fire trucks, including a 100-foot tower truck in the bays.
Morris said a new building could cost the city about $75,000. However, he said there is one possibly less-expensive option. That would entail extending the front doors of the parking bays by eight feet to the front edge of the wall supporting the building's roof.
The chief also said the department is in bad need of a new tanker truck. The current tanker is one that was built locally on a truck donated by an oil exploration company.
Morris said the truck the department uses now is overweight. He also said a new truck could have a larger, plastic tank that could carry 1,000 gallons.
The chief estimated the cost of a new truck, specially built to haul water, at $230,000.
Morris said the Central Fire District, which is covered by the BVFD, has offered to match a donation by the city if the city would pay $100,000 toward the cost.
He said the department has had some successful fundraisers and it would be able to cover the rest of the cost of a new truck.
City Manager Deborah Ballí said she had budgeted $250,000 for the purchase of a new tanker truck and if the city would only be required to pay $100,000 of the cost, it could reduce the expected capital outlay for the upcoming budget.
When Police Chief Joe Treviño and Assistant Chief Richard Cantu had their turn, the two men requested funding for the Beeville Police Department's Special Weapons and Tactics Team.
Cantu said the 10-16 SWAT team members currently spend up to $30,000 of their own money each year for their special uniforms and weapons. He said those costs include expensive rifles and special scopes needed for the job.
The assistant chief said he would like to see the city pick up the tab for those purchases in the future.
Cantu said the SWAT officers handle potentially violent situation for which regular patrol officers are not equipped.
"Training is consistent with Austin PD training," the assistant chief said.
Treviño also asked for two new officers, two Chevrolet Impalas for detectives and three new Dodge Charger patrol cars for the BPD.
The chief said he would like for his department to purchase another Chevrolet Tahoe SUV for the second canine team.
The BPD now has two drug dogs and Treviño said that will allow the department to increase the number of drug searches on Beeville Independent School District campuses during the upcoming school year.
Treviño also requested a full-time records clerk and a full-time training coordinator.
In addition, the council heard budget requests and reports from the municipal court, the Beeville Animal Control Department and the city's health care provider.
Ballí said the current budget does not include cost-of-living raises for any city employees.
The council will schedule other budget workshops before the 2013-14 spending is approved by the end of next month.

"Oh, I didn't want to," club president Norma Newport said as she explained why the club disbanded. "Health issues were a factor for several members, and some members moved recently too."
"We were so busy and burned out, nobody wanted to be president, and Norma had it five years consecutively, and her husband isn't well," 65-year member Sue Nance added. "Nobody else wanted to be president, and with only a few left, we felt that we couldn't keep it going."
LASC had 120 members from the time they started until their end, with nine active and six associated members at their closing. The club started with 11 members, and over time they grew to about 24 members.
Nance said the most recent ladies to join the club were Rita Arnst in 2008 and Dawna Courtney in 2010.
The club started in late 1937 or early 1938, according to Newport, with a group of women who wanted to form a junior study group to the Live Oak Study Club. Newport also said the original members met with Thelma Bomar with plans to focus on "health, music, safety, drama, poetry, famous characters, better speech, current books, current events, motion pictures, Bible, gardening and others."
Over the years, the subjects they covered in their meetings broadened to book reviews, history, government and guest speakers such as representatives from the Border Patrol.
But one thing that didn't change about the club over the years was the thing they were best known for – fundraising.
"It is a prestigious group of women that had their hearts dedicated to serving the community and broadening their knowledge," Newport said.
But it wasn't just their club members' knowledge they fostered; in the 1950s, they helped bring a library to Three Rivers by holding bake sales, and each member contributed a penny for every pound they weighed.
The club also helped support the Live Oak County Little League, the Live Oak County Fair, the Sunshine Room, the Three Rivers High School Library and the library in Three Rivers. They also served refreshments at the National Honor Society and provided scholarships for TRHS graduates.
Their scholarships started in 1958-59 for $100 and eventually grew to $500, according to Newport. They were funded with what would become the club's signature fundraiser, their Style Show Luncheon.
"It was fun; it was really," Nance said. "We had different themes we would have. Back in the early days my daughter was a flapper."
Nance said they also supported individual's projects such as Whitney Arsek's efforts to help Three Rivers Junior High and High School girls feel beautiful by providing them with compacts this spring.
Their most recent meeting place was First United Methodist Church; prior to that they met in First State Bank, Dairy Queen and members' homes.
Their final meeting was held at the library in Three Rivers on May 16 where NHS students spoke about their appreciation for the club's support. The LASC presented the NHS with a silk flower centerpiece.
Live Oak County Judge Jim Huff declared May 16 as Little Acorn Study Club Day for Live Oak County as a way to honor past and present members' contributions to the community. Judge Huff's mother was a member of the club and, according to Newport, Huff recalled her saying she was "going to club today" and he knew what she meant.
Although the club is no more, their legacy will be on display at the museum in Three Rivers in the near future with yearbooks from all but the first three years that the club was active.
"It is something you put on the calendar every month, and now I think 'no more,'" Nance said. "It was something to look forward to. You see some of the members that you don't see every day or every week, and we knew it was always a good program."

Do we really need an emergency thread? p0nder's still got more than 2 hours left...
Welcome to the NBA on NBC....pardon me, make that MSG. The Knicks are coming off their most impressive win so far this season as they beat the Heat by 20 points for a second time, this time without MVPMelo.
Please Disregard/Delete/Recycle Bin this thread
Last edited by KingStarbury3; Dec 08, 2012 at 17:52.
Do we really need an emergency thread? p0nder's still got more than 2 hours left...
no Hamilton Brewer waering Knicks jersey
all we need is to stop Boozer and Noah and shoot threeeees
Tonight at the world's least famous arena the United Center in Chicago, the 14-4 New York Knicks look to continue their early season dominance against the 10-8 Chicago Bulls.
The Knicks and Bulls renew a rivalry that runs deep throughout the franchises dating back to the Eastern Conference tug of war of the 80's/90's.
Expect this to be a tough, physical, aggressive game of basketball. The Knicks will need to match the intensity of the Bulls defense, no mean feat coming into their third road game in the midst of a five-in-seven nights stretch.
The Knicks come into tonight red hot after their blazing defeat of the Miami Heat in South Beach. Raymond Felton stepped up in the wake of Carmelo Anthony's lacerated finger and contributed enormously in the win. Averaging 22 points and 7 assists over the last three games, the Knicks will be looking to Felton again tonight with Melo a game time decision.
The Bulls are not without injuries of their own, Rose is still sidelined from the torn ACL he suffered in the playoffs and Rip Hamilton will also be sitting due to a torn Plantar Fascia.
However the Knicks can't afford to sleep on this team. The Bulls are an extremely well coached defensive team, the likes of which New York have not had to face in this young season.
Ignoring the fact the Knicks recent record in United Center is diabolical (3-18), the Bulls are the kind of team that can expose the weaknesses of the Knicks.
Joakim Noah comes into tonight scorching, after putting up career highs in points (30) and rebounds (23) including 10 offensive boards. One of the early criticisms of this Knicks team is their weakness on the glass and this is undoubtedly where Chicago will look to capitalize, putting up second chance points and denying them from the Knicks.
Noah, Boozer, Gibson and Deng are all great rebounders and Tyson Chandler, who is averaging 14.5 rebounds over the last four games, will be tested.
X Factor
With Melo possibly out the Knicks will need to see contributions from the fiery JR Swish. After a mediocre game Wednesday, Smith nailed the stepback fallaway jumper at the buzzer to lift the Knicks to a hard fought win over the resurgent Bobcats.
However it would seem even Woodson couldn't chain Smith's party-animal nature as the Knicks plane arrived in South Beach following his game winner. He appeared unfocused in Thursdays game against Miami, going 2 for 10 from the field in that game.
Keys to the Game
The Knicks face a different animal tonight. Defensively they will need to switch from guarding the transition to keeping Chicago's half-court offense in check. Chicago are not a high scoring team and the Knicks will have to keep it that way.
Offensively the Knicks must continue to move the ball with reckless abandon. Any hint of stagnation or ISO in the Knicks offense will be pounced upon by the lock down defense of the Bulls. In the absence of Anthony, one of the Knicks offensive weapons in Felton, JR Smith or Novak will need to step up.
Pregame Tension Relief Machine
Nice game thread Smokes. That girls a little weird but im feeling her body. Im not gonna lie i got a little chubby watching that
Basically im not worried about anything Chicago can do. They can outrebound us by 20 if they please. It wont matter, we'll just hit alotta 3's and beat them by 15 at least
Melo will not play tonight, aiming to return against Denver.
world's least famous arena.
I'd love to have Noah on our team one day. He was a Knicks fan during the rivalry too.
We'll be seeing Nate tonight.

Great Saturday. Knicks and UFC,
Nice bounce pass by Kurt. Diden't know he had that kind of skill.
Bulls playing zone D and it's working. We need to get the ball inside..

I enjoyed reading your blog, Erik. You clearly know your way around PNC. I have heard so many great things about the park that we are going to stop there and catch a game later this month while we are traveling; probably when the White Sox are in town.
I like to come early and let my kids watch batting practice and was wondering what time the gates opened there and if you had any tips for getting good deals on tickects. We would like to sit near one of the dugouts if possible but we aren't that picky if there is a much better value elsewhere in the park. Any advise would be greatly appreiated!
Wow, you got some good baseballs. Nice and new!
🙂 Awesome blog BTW

ONALASKA, Wis. -- The La Crosse Loggers' magical season could not have been possible without the many host families that let players stay at their house for the summer. For one host family, this summer had special meaning.
The Benas have been die-hard Logger fans for just about ever, but this season they decided to take their Logger support to the next level and host a player.
While they wanted to support the hometown team, they ended up receiving some much-needed support in return.
"It's a much different kind of goodbye," said Linda Bena.
This year's Logger season is winding down and for the Bena family, it's coming to a bittersweet ending.
"It was one of those things where we wanted to do something to help, but Alex has helped us more than we've helped him," said Linda.
The Benas wanted to support the hometown team by hosting a Logger for the summer.
"After meeting him, I knew it wasn't long before he'd have a special place in our family, and forever will," said Linda.
The player they would be hosting was left-handed pitcher Alex Gunn from Mississippi, and Alex was in for a big surprise.
"They met me outside in the driveway and they were like, 'We have something to tell you," said Alex.
"It was one of those things where we needed to do, something to help move ourselves on," said Linda.
The Benas lost their daughter, Audra, two years ago to cancer. It was a wound in their lives that Alex was soon going heal with a little help from above.
"Cleaning out Audra's room just because wasn't a reason," said Linda. "I needed a reason to do that and it was very hard to have this feeling that I was cheating on Audra, but that wasn't the case at all. It was in so many ways it was like she was here telling us that, 'It's OK, you've done the right thing.'"
And it all started at the dinner table.
"The first night I got here, her song is, 'If I Die Young,' and we turn on the TV radio while we eat, and it came on," said Alex.
"That's Audra saying we've done a good thing here," said Linda.
Soon the family found out Alex shared many similarities with Audra including their love for animals.
"So many similarities, so much in common, and I feel right at home here, and I feel like Audra was kind of leading me here," said Alex.
While Alex will soon head home, this goodbye will be different because they know they share a bond; a match truly made in heaven.
"She leaves us many signs," said Linda. "You just have to keep your ears and your eyes open, and they're there."
Alex doesn't know if he'll be making it back next season and the Benas said if he does, he has to stay with their family again.
Alex is also planning a trip back sometime in the winter to visit to truly experience snow in the Midwest.
Host families have been a tradition ever since the Loggers first started. This year, 21 players are staying with host families in the area.

The blond-haired, blue-eyed, 3-year-old looks like every other child playing with her doll in the yard, but has a rare condition that affects her joints and bones.
Layel Rodgers was born with arthrogryposis, a "non-progressive muscle disorder causing stiff joints and abnormal development of muscles."
Layel is affected in the upper and lower extremities.
While many people may have not heard of the condition, it affects one in 3,000 babies and has become Reshay's and Layel's world.
National AMC (arthrogryposis multiplex congenita) Day is June 30, and Reshay, Layel, family and friends, along with people from around the world, will celebrate the observance by wearing blue shirts.
"Everybody wears blue and gives a big high five to everyone that has AMC," Reshay said.
Many people with AMC want to figure out a way to do things independently just like everyone else.
"This is a day we can recognize all the hard work (AMC people do)," Reshay said.
Having a special day to recognize AMC is important but not enough for Reshay.
She has done hours of research on the condition, and is determined to continue to learn ways to improve Layel's life.
The first week of July, Reshay, along with Layel and family friend Traci Tomlin, will travel to Las Vegas for the eighth annual AMCSI Conference.
"The conference itself gives the children and parents an opportunity to be around people just like them," Reshay said.
Reshay is excited about the opportunities she will have as a parent to learn things from other parents that could potentially help her daughter.
She said the conference will be attended by about 200 people and will include children and adults with AMC, along with parents and other family members.
Reshay hopes Layel will have as normal a life as possible.
Layel has Amyoplasia, the most common type of arthrogryposis.
At age three, Layel has endured two major surgeries, including one that left steel plates in her hips.
She has made numerous trips to the Shriners Hospitals for Children in Philadelphia and endures more on a weekly basis than most people endure in a lifetime.
She has made great strides in her progress since she was born and is now able to stand in her walker and take steps. She has adapted with hand movements so that she can feed herself, play with toys and work an iPad.
Next year, Reshay will also start her in school. Her condition does not affect her mental capacity, and she is smart for her age. She has a full range of vocabulary words and isn't shy about telling you what she wants.
Her mom has a strong feeling her condition won't slow her down. "She is going to be something big one day," Reshay said.

Wounded Warriors seeks support
Organizers of a Saturday event designed to raise money for the local Wounded Warriors program said they are in great need of donations.
"At this point we'll take anything we can get," said Patricia Lewis, who is helping get the word out about the fundraiser, which is set for 6 p.m. at Valley Head Elementary School.
If enough donations are received, the event will include a cakewalk, a silent auction and a live auction. However, Lewis said very few donations had been received as of earlier this week.
The goal is to raise $3,600 to cover expenses for 10 veterans to take part in a fishing getaway from May 30 to June 2 in the Harman area. Only about $400 had been raised so far, she said.
"It's really a good thing for the veterans," Lewis said. "I'd hate not to see this happen."
The trip would include accommodations in cabins, food prepared by volunteers, and time for the veterans to learn how to tie flies, go fly fishing and enjoy the outdoors. It would be coordinated by volunteers through the Potomac Highlands Wounded Warrior Outreach group located in Pendleton County.
The Wounded Warriors program has sent veterans on local fishing trips for the past two years, and the program also sends veterans on different outdoor excursions, such as golfing, whitewater rafting and rock climbing. The program helps veterans of any age and any conflict, and they come from Veterans Affairs hospitals in West Virginia as well as Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland.
Any donations of items for Saturday's auction or monetary gifts would be greatly appreciated, Lewis said.
