|Arc: The Syrrannites (2 of 3)
|Arc: Vulcan vs. Andoria (6 of 7)
Archer and T'Pol encounter the Syrrannites, the radical group supposedly responsible for a terrorist bombing on Vulcan.
Summary Edit
On Vulcan, the mysterious people from the end of "The Forge" are revealed to be Syrrannites under the de facto command of T'Pau. As T'Pol and Archer explain they befriended the late Arev while crossing the desert, they are welcomed with sorrow. As T'Pau explains, Arev was in fact Syrran, their leader.
After some time, T'Pol is brought to her mother. Their discussion goes nowhere as the daughter can't understand her mother's choice to join people she considers as extremists. Even after she hears T'Les' explanation, the High Council's propaganda still holds.
In his cell, Captain Archer has a vision about an old Vulcan. From what he tells the Syrrannites, they come to suspect that Syrran transferred Surak's katra to Archer's mind before he died. This is confirmed when T'Pau mind melds with the captain. Even with the new facts, T'Pol is still skeptical.
A ritual to pass the katra from Archer to T'Pau is then accomplished, but Surak decides to stay with Archer for the time being, saying that the captain has to find the long lost Kir'Shara.
In the meantime, V'Las has been unsuccessful in getting Enterprise NX-01 to break orbit and postpones his extermination plan against the Syrrannites.
Deciding not to leave crewmembers behind, Charles Tucker III sends Malcolm Reed and Travis Mayweather in a modified shuttlepod to attempt to recover Archer and T'Pol from Vulcan's Forge. Despite Soval's assistance in disabling a surveillance satellite, Vulcan patrol craft fire on them, and the shuttlepod is forced to return to Enterprise.
V'Las orders Enterprise to leave orbit, so there are no witnesses to his plan to destroy the Syrrannites. Tucker refuses to leave orbit, even after ordered to do so by Admiral Gardner. As a result, V'Las sends three Vulcan ships to intercept Enterprise. After Enterprise is damaged, Soval suggests retreat and Enterprise withdraws.
As soon as the Humans are away, bombardment of the sanctuary begins, forcing the Syrrannites to evacuate their sanctuary. Archer, T'Pau, and T'Pol remain behind to attempt to locate the Kir'Shara. Archer leads them down a corridor and opens a door to the room where the Kir'Shara is kept. The Vulcans then begin to fire on the sanctuary. Archer then leads them out of the sanctuary, which is then shown reduced to rubble.
On Vulcan, T'Pol holds her mother T'Les in her arms. While Archer looks on, T'Les apparently dies. The event of death is portrayed implicitly, not explicitly.
Trip Tucker is in command of the Enterprise. Privately, Soval (who is on board) informs Tucker that Vulcan is planning to attack Andoria, believing they are developing a weapon based on the Xindi superweapon. Just before the close of the episode, Tucker orders a course set to Andoria at maximum warp (the order comes to his bridge crew as a surprise).
Memorable QuotesEdit
"Your accomplishments have been noteworthy."
"They don't justify deception..."
"Deception has never been a stranger to this room."
- - Minister Kuvak, Administrator V'Las, and Ambassador Soval
"There's a great deal that needs to be said, Excellency, but no one's willing to listen."
"I'm here to find the person who bombed the Earth embassy. Her name is T'Pau, and she looks a hell of a lot like you!"
- - Jonathan Archer, to T'Pau, on their first meeting
"You have a lot to learn about Syrrannites."
"You have a lot to learn about Humans! We don't sit back and do nothing while our people are attacked."
"No, you traverse vast wastelands based on false information."
- -T'Pau and Archer
"Right before Arev died, he grabbed me, he put his hand on my forehead. I felt something inside... my head."
"Do you think he was trying to meld with you?"
"I don't know... but ever since I haven't been myself."
- - Archer and T'Pol
"You don't trust Vulcans, Captain, and given your experiences with them, I can't say I blame you. The culture you've come to know isn't the one I helped to create. My people have strayed, and someone must restore them to the path."
"You've got the wrong man."
"Sorry Captain, there's an Earth expression: 'We're stuck with each other.' Don't fight what's been given to you. Open your mind and your heart and the way will become clear."

- - Archer and T'Pol
"I've had my fill of mind melds."
"The prospect doesn't appeal to me, either. I've never melded with a Human before. Your... unchecked emotions will, no doubt, prove distasteful."
- - Archer and T'Pau, before she attempts to confirm that he is carrying the katra of Surak
"Mind if I ask you something? Why are you doing this? I never got the impression that you cared that much about Humans. Seems like... you were always finding something new to complain about."
"I lived on Earth for more than 30 years, Commander. In that time I developed an affinity for your world and its people."
"You did a pretty good job of hiding it."
"Thank you."
- - Commander Tucker and Ambassador Soval
"They found nothing to indicate the presence of a katra."
"The Vulcan Science Academy was just as skeptical about time travel"
"Do you really believe you possess the living spirit of Surak, inside you, a man who died eighteen hundred years ago?"
"Not when you put it like that."
- -T'Pol and Archer
"So I'm suffering from... a mindmeld hangover?"

Ride will aid officers' survivors
MONTPELIER — Ride4Cops will be rolling through Montpelier on Friday at noon, when organization leaders plan to join Attorney General William Sorrell and Senate President John Campbell at the Statehouse to honor police officers who have died in service to Vermont. The national organization will donate $2,000 to help surviving families. The event will feature Ride4Cops founder Harry Herington's custom memorial motorcycle and a core group of motorcycle riders.
The next day approximately 300 riders will take to the road at 12:30 p.m. from the Rutland police barracks and traveling through Vermont before ending their journey at the Franklin County sheriff's office in St. Albans.
"As a former police officer I know that an officer's biggest concern isn't falling in the line of duty, but what will happen to his or her family if that occurs," Herington said in a news release. Ride4Cops says it donates 100 percent of the money it raises to Concerns of Police Survivors, which provides support to surviving families and co-workers of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty.MORE IN This Just InNEWBURY Police said somebody stole booze and change from a Welch Road residence.

I am a first time mom and I have been breast feeding my newborn for 4 weeks now. I am past the initial stages of engorgement and cracked & bleeding nipples and I *think* I am getting the hang of things. So, I am wondering when will my nipples stop being sore? I don't mean the soreness when she first latches on. I mean that my nipples are a little sore and achy all the time. I know I am supposed to get her mouth open wide and shove as much of the nipple and surrounding area in there as possible - although this is a little tricky at night when I can't see her mouth very well or she doesn't seem to open as wide. Still, I'm wondering if I'm not doing things right and if her mouth is not open wide enough and that is causing the soreness? Or will the nipples be sore for the entire duration of breast feeding? I thought it should get a little more comfortable.
I have not been using any lotion or ointments whatsoever on my breasts, not even soap in the shower. Also, I have been avoiding wearing a bra as much as possible, and always try and let the nipple air dry after feeding to avoid infection - that was my mom's suggestion and she used to teach breastfeeding classes in the '70s. Could I be getting an infection or thrush anyway and that is causing the soreness?
Finally, I'm wondering if my breasts will ever go back to normal when I'm finished breastfeeding. I'm a little worried that if I don't wear a bra my boobs will be hanging down to my belly button! I'm normally a size B cup, but am now a very ample C.
Any help or suggestions welcome! I am living overseas and feeling a little isolated in the breastfeeding experience. Thanks

Coal gas boom in China holds climate change risksap photo
Farmers Adiya, left, and Baiyunde, right, stand in front of a state-of-the-art power plant that turns millions of tons of coal every year into methane in northern Chinas Inner Mongolia province.
HEXIGTEN, China Deep in the hilly grasslands of remote Inner Mongolia, twin smoke stacks rise more than 200 feet into the sky, their steam and sulfur billowing over herds of sheep and cattle.
Both day and night, the rumble of this power plant echoes across the ancient steppe, and its acrid stench travels dozens of miles away.
This is the first of more than 60 coal-to-gas plants China wants to build, mostly in remote parts of the country where ethnic minorities have farmed and herded for centuries. Fired up in December, the multibillion-dollar plant bombards millions of tons of coal with water and heat to produce methane, which is piped to Beijing to generate electricity.
Its part of a controversial energy revolution China hopes will help it churn out desperately needed natural gas and electricity while cleaning up the toxic skies above the countrys eastern cities. However, the plants will also release vast amounts of heat-trapping carbon dioxide, even as the world struggles to curb greenhouse gas emissions and stave off global warming.
If all of the plants start up, the carbon dioxide theyd release would equal three-quarters of all energy-related carbon emissions in the U.S., according to U.S. government data and energy experts from Duke and Stanford universities. That is far more than now produced in China by burning coal, the countrys main source of power.
So far, China is running only two pilot plants to produce methane, which is also known as synthetic natural gas, in the provinces of Inner Mongolia and far western Xinjiang, with another 21 approved. Building all 60 plants would cost an estimated $65 billion.
Once you have invested in it, China will have locked itself in a high water-consuming, high carbon-emitting path, said Chi-Jen Yang, the Duke energy researcher. This short-term mistake will become a mistake that will be hard to turn around for decades.
Chinese leaders are under intense pressure to meet rising energy needs spurred by economic growth but are hampered by insufficient reserves of natural gas and oil.
At the same time, Chinas massive cities are contending with air pollution so intense it can shut down schools and airports and, studies show, shorten life expectancy by as many as five years.
Central to the appeal of the coal-to-gas plan is that it moves polluting energy production far away from cities while also turning the countrys vast coal reserves into more valuable natural gas.
Yet scientists at Tsinghua University and Ford Motor Co. estimate the process emits between 36 and 82 percent more greenhouse gases than burning coal to produce electricity. The resulting methane can also be used to power vehicles, heat homes and cook food.
Already, China emits more heat-trapping carbon into the atmosphere than any other nation and twice that of the U.S., the worlds second biggest carbon emitter. Even without the new plants, Chinas carbon emissions are projected to double over the next 25 years, while U.S. emissions stay steady, U.S. Energy Information Administration data show.
Everybody wants to find a path forward to solve the problems of (synthetic natural gas) and at the same time solve Chinas pollution problems, said Yanling Gong, editor-in-chief of the government-affiliated China National Chemical Information Centre.
While less directly polluting than burning coal, the Inner Mongolia plant run by state-owned company Datang has already transformed this corner of rural Hexigten county famous for its long-maned horses and sun-burnt vistas.
As a boy growing up there, farmer Adiya could ride his horse through waist-high grass for miles without meeting another person. Now, the 32-year-old says he stays indoors some mornings because of the industrial stench.MORE IN World/National BusinessWASHINGTON Long-term U.S. Full StoryNEW YORK Its not just the musical Hairspray that will air live on NBC tonight.

Four handball teams at a high school in southeastern Benin currently train and play under the direction of the professor of sports at the school. Currently, the teams play on a loose dirt court created at the local high school. This court is largely unsuitable for a sport that requires dribbling, particularly during the rainy season. With the help of funds from the Partnership Program, the school will be able to construct a high quality, durable handball court on the school grounds.
This court will encourage new players to join the handball program and allow the current players to increase their level of participation. Through handball, players will learn such skills and grow in such areas as teamwork, leadership, self-esteem, respect, and communication. The practice of sport has an immense positive impact on the lives of young people, and is a recognized tool in youth development. Youth who have productive outlets in which to spend their energy and free time are less likely to engage in potentially dangerous behaviors, do better in school, and are healthier—physically and mentally. The role of sport in youth development is especially pertinent for girls, who have few opportunities for social interactions outside of the home.
The new court would also allow the community to host handball tournaments and matches, thus promoting cultural exchange between the local players and students from other parts of the country.
This court has been identified as a priority by the professor of sports and the high school's director and they have both put forth extraordinary efforts to mobilize resources for this project. The community has mobilized a large amount of resources—over $4800 in cash and in-kind contributions (such as labor, fill earth, nails, and wood), but a considerable amount is still necessary for this project to become a reality. This proposal requests $11,450 in order to build the court, which will be a great asset to the community at large.
Note: This summary was provided by a Peace Corps Volunteer and the community administering this project.

text: Not really sure where to post this, so I'll start here. I have been pumping more then usually due to a low supply, yesterday when pumping I noticed that the milk from one breast was pink, this has happened once before several months ago. There was blood that settled at the bottom of the bag after it was refridgerated. I am not sure what to do, I'm sure its probably no big deal but I am not sure. Any ideas?

Chiropractic and Deafness: Back to 1895
Chiropractic originated in 1895 when D.D. Palmer claimed to have restored deaf janitor Harvey Lillard's hearing by manipulating his spine. This makes no anatomical sense, and few if any chiropractors claim to be able to reverse deafness today. But now a chiropractic website is attempting to vindicate D. D. Palmer. They list deafness among a long (wrong) list of "Conditions That Respond Well to Chiropractic"
They list 6 supporting studies. Three are case reports, two are case series, and one is a review of the literature that is labeled in its title as "A Search to Validate" D.D. Palmer. (more…)

How much luggage will I be allowed to bring to Mongolia?
Most airlines have baggage size and weight limits and assess charges for transport of baggage that exceeds this allowance. The Peace Corps has its own size and weight limits and will not pay the cost of transport for baggage that exceeds these limits. The authorized baggage allowance is two checked pieces of luggage with combined dimensions of both pieces not to exceed 107 inches (length + width + height) and a carry-on bag with dimensions of no more than 45 inches. Checked baggage should not exceed 102 pounds total with a maximum weight allowance of 70 pounds for any one bag. Please check the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Website for a detailed list of permitted and prohibited items at http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/prohibited/ permitted-prohibited-items.shtm.
Peace Corps Volunteers are not allowed to take pets, weapons, explosives, radio transmitters, automobiles, or motorcycles to their overseas assignments. Do not pack flammable materials or liquids such as lighter fluid, cleaning solvents, hair spray, or aerosol containers. This is an important safety precaution.
What is the electric current?
It is 220-240 volts, 50 cycles. Outlets take European-style round pin plugs and, as a general rule, are not grounded. You should consider bringing a voltage converter as well as a battery charger/adapter and several rechargeable batteries for flashlights and other battery-operated equipment. Candles are a necessity and are available locally.
How much money should I bring?
Volunteers are expected to live at the same level as the people in their community. They are given a settling-in allowance and a monthly living allowance, which will cover most living expenses. Often Volunteers wish to bring additional money for vacation travel to other countries. Credit cards and traveler's checks are preferable to cash. If you choose to bring extra money, bring the amount that will suit your own travel plans and needs.
Will my belongings be covered by insurance?
The Peace Corps does not provide insurance coverage for personal effects. Volunteers are responsible for the safekeeping of their personal belongings. However, you can purchase personal property insurance before you leave. If you wish, you may contact your own insurance company; additionally, insurance application forms will be provided, and we encourage you to consider them carefully. Volunteers should not ship or take valuable items overseas. Jewelry, watches, radios, cameras, and expensive appliances are subject to loss, theft, and breakage, and in many places, satisfactory maintenance and repair services are not available.
Do I need an international driver's license?
Volunteers in Mongolia do not need to get an international driver's license. Operation of motorized vehicles by Volunteers in Mongolia is strictly prohibited.
What should I bring as gifts for Mongolian friends and my host family?
This is not a requirement. A token of friendship is sufficient. Some gift suggestions include knickknacks for the house. pictures, books, or calendars of American scenes, souvenirs from your area, hard candies that will not melt or spoil, or photos to give away. Mongolians will enjoy seeing pictures of your home and family.
When can I take vacation and have people visit me?
Each Volunteer accrues two annual leave (vacation days) per month of service, excluding training. Annual leave may not be taken during training or during the first three months or last three months of service, except in conjunction with an authorized emergency leave. In addition to vacation days, Volunteers also accrue in-country leave days, which allow them time away from site to visit friends and to get to know Mongolia. Family and friends are welcome to visit you after pre-service training and after the first three months of service as long as their stay does not interfere with your work. Extended stays at your site are not encouraged and may require permission from your country director. The Peace Corps cannot provide your visitors with visa, medical, or travel assistance. Weather conditions throughout the year make travel to and within Mongolia difficult.
Where will my site assignment be when I finish training, and how isolated will I be?
Peace Corps trainees are assigned to individual sites toward the end of pre-service training. This gives the Peace Corps staff the opportunity to assess each trainee's technical and language skills prior to assigning sites, in addition to finalizing site selections with their counterpart agencies. If feasible, you may have the opportunity to provide input on your site preferences, including geographical location, distance from other Volunteers, or living conditions. However, many factors influence the site selection process and the Peace Corps cannot guarantee placement where you might ideally like to be. Site assignments are based on the following factors, in order of priority: (1) the community's request and needs, (2) the Volunteer's skills and experience, and (3) the Volunteer's interests and preferences.
Most Volunteers will live in aimag centers (provincial centers of 10,000 to 20,000 people) or soums (provincial villages of 1,000 to 10,000), and will generally be one to three hours from the nearest fellow Volunteer. Some sites are as far as a 10- to 30-hour drive away from the capital.
Some Volunteers choose not to drink and occasionally may have to put up with disappoval from Mongolians as a result. Some choose to drink only beer or wine, and others take just a sip or put a little on the tips of their fingers and do a ceremonial offering (you will learn more about this in training). Mongolians are usually respectful of these efforts and do not expect you to drink more. It is ultimately up to you to decide how to handle alcohol responsibly.
Are the heating systems as poor as some have said?
Yes, some are. Many Volunteers report being able to see their breath when teaching at schools. Housing may not have good heating, either. Some solutions are to wear layers, to become cozy with your Peace Corps-issued space heater, and to become a competent fire builder. Also how well you insulate your home or apartment makes a considerable difference. Many nationals are usually happy to assist you in insulating your home or apartment to get ready for the harsh winter.
Where will I eat during pre-service training?
During training you will live with a host family, who will provide your breakfast, lunch, and dinner on weekdays and weekends. This can be difficult for some Volunteers because they do not have full control over what they eat. Some trainees have even offered to cook for their host family as a strategy to eat a mutton-free meal. Once you get to your site, you will have more control over your diet.
My friends and family keep telling me to pack toilet paper—is this necessary?
No. While most of the toilet paper in Mongolia is not quilted or soft, you do not need to pack any—all the toilet paper you need can be bought locally. You can even find baby wipes.
How can my family contact me in an emergency?
The Peace Corps' Office of Special Services provides assistance in handling emergencies affecting trainees and Volunteers or their families. Before leaving the United States, you should instruct your family to notify the Office of Special Services immediately if an emergency arises, such as a serious illness or death of a family member. During normal business hours, the number for the Office of Special Services is 800.424.8580, extension 1470. After normal business hours and on weekends and holidays, the Special Services duty officer can be reached at 202.638.2574. For nonemergency questions, your family can get information from your country desk staff at the Peace Corps by calling 800.424.8580, extension 2416 or 2413.

Paganism revives in Russia
In the forest shrine, the meat of two rams and a goat cook in great cauldrons suspended from wooden frames. Cloth belts stained with the blood of these sacrificial animals hang from the trees. Higher up, the branches are festooned with votive offerings—items of clothing brought by people who claim to have been cured during earlier ritual sacrifices.

Colours have been exaggerated in processing to reveal subtle differences in surface materials. The reddish lines in the moon's icy crust are cracks and ridges, some of them thousands of kilometres long, while the reddish mottling indicates areas of disrupted ice, where large ice blocks have shifted. The red material may be salt minerals deposited by liquid water that emerged from below the surface. The relatively few craters indicate that the icy crust has been relatively warm and mobile for at least a good part of Europa's early history.

I am very excited about this since I've been dealing with a lot of pain off and on for a few days now. I had some plugged ducts along with a milk blister first...got rid of it and then the very next morning saw a white spot on my nipple! So the past two days I've been doing warm compresseses and soaking all day long before feedings. Nothing was really happening then all of a sudden tonight the pain was becoming unbearable. I soaked twice for ten minutes each time and then rubbed with a washcloth, finally had to try to pop like a pimple and alas a hardenned piece of milk pops out!!
But now I want to make sure I don't get it again and now that I have an "opening/crack" I want to make sure it doesn't get infected.
What's the best thing to do?
Also, is it normal to still feel some pain? Or could it be possible I didn't get everything? I expressed and a lot of milk came out.

The Beloit School District is spending more than $1 million to keep students plugged in to technology.
It's no secret many kids would rather tap a screen than turn a page. IPads have already been incorporated into learning in Beloit. Now the Assistant Superintendent Lynee Tourdot said the school district is buying them for all of its students.
"It will not only help us with academic progress in the classroom, it will help us with our college and career initiatives," Tourdot said. "It will help us getting students more focus and engaged in the classroom."
Beloit's second and fifth graders will get iPads later this year, and more grade levels will be added each semester. The goal is to have the Apple tablet devices in classes district-wide in less than two years. The district already has more than 600 iPads.
Tourdot said traditional computer labs will soon be history. She estimates the tablets will save the district about $750,000 each year.
"Even though we are adding devices we'll still save on energy, we'll save on text books, we'll save on paper costs, toner costs, copier costs, a lot of those different things," Tourdot said.
News 3 spoke to parents at Beloit's Riverside Park. Elvia Edler said giving the students iPads is a good idea.
"You can download books online and they can read from there," Elder said. "I think they're more interested in advanced things like that."
Parent Missy Long supports the idea only if the technology doesn't leave kids vulnerable online.
"I don't think they'll be able to monitor all the kids to keep them safe whereas a parent in their own home could monitor their own children," she said.
Tourdot said she and the other district leaders are hoping the exposure to technology will create opportunities for more personalized learning.
"No longer are we limited by 'Here's the text book for science and I can't take you beyond that.'" Tourdot said. "Obviously we do things to take kids beyond that but now we have this wide-open door of opportunity."
Equipping classrooms with iPads is a growing trend in Rock County. The Parkview School District will also add iPads to its classrooms later this year. Milton students have been using them for a several years.

Andy Jackson: Freedom Newspapers
District Attorney Matt Chandler said Thursday Clovis detectives are still gathering statements in the case of a bondsman accused of shooting two people Tuesday while revoking a bond.
Bayless, who owns Hank's Bail Bonds, shot co-worker Christina Snell in the leg and Javier Sanchez in the back while apprehending Sanchez.
"I'll make a determination tomorrow morning," Chandler said Thursday night.
Snell was treated and released from a Lubbock hospital Wednesday while Sanchez is being held at the Curry County Detention Center on a $10,461 bond.
Bayless has refused comment on the incident. Snell Wednesday said she was shot by accident while Sanchez was trying to flee a home in the 300 block of Gayland Dr.
Sanchez failed to appear for an Aug. 9 court appearance, according to court records.
Chandler said he will make his judgment on whether to charge Bayless based on the police report and state case laws.
"There's criteria for what they (bail bondsmen) can and cannot do: They cannot use unnecessary means to make the transaction, they cannot go into the home of a third party looking for a wanted individual without permission, and they cannot conceal a weapon without a legal permit," Chandler said previously.
Capt. Oscar Gonzalez of the New Mexico State Police Office in Clovis said Thursday Bayless does hold a permit to carry a concealed weapon.

The following is about the Henry Lohff family. They emigrated from Mecklenburg-Schwerin. According to Ancestry.com Henry was a naturalized citizen in 1859 and previously had lived in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa before moving to Wisconsin. In the 1860 Census, the family was listed in the Springdale township and consisted of Henry, 60; Frederikke, 40; Charles,.18; Fred, 15; Mina, 13; Betsy, 9; Henry, 3; and Emma, under one year. By the 1870 Census, one more daughter, Eliz, was reported.
The information for the Centennial History was given by Otelia Chech (Check). In the 1910 Census, Otelia Check and her husband are reported living with Otelia's mother Wilhemina Elver (Elsea, Elner were given as alternate spellings) and her husband Charles and their family. It is likely that Wilhemina is "Mina" who was Henry and Fredereca's daughter. It is also therefore likely that Otelia Chech was the granddaughter who provided the history for her grandparents, Henry and Fredereca Lohff.
History of the Henry Lohff Family
as presented on page 135,
Centennial History of the Town of Springdale
Dane County, Wisconsin, 1848-1948
Henry and Frederica Lohff emigrated to America with their seven children in 1850 and settled in the town of Blooming Grove [Dane County, Wisconsin] where they resided for about ten years. Here their son Henry J. was born. In the spring of 1860 they moved to Springdale township and bought what has since been known as the Lohff homestead. Part of this farm was purchased from the Government and part from Mrs. Betsy Peterson's father. (The exact name of the man is unknown.) Henry Lohff senior died on this homestead July 31, 1870. His wife Fredereca also died here March 28, 1890. The Lohff family emigrated from Mechlenburg Schnrurin in Germany. The son Henry J. bought the homestead in 1878 and resided there until his death in April 1938. This information was obtained from Otelia Chech.

Despite several concerns, the Honolulu City Council voted Thursday to pass a resolution approving a deal for the city to sell its affordable housing units to a private developer.
The city wants to get out of the affordable rental business and it hopes to do so by selling its 12 rental properties to Honolulu Affordable Housing Partners LLC for $142 million.
Developer Peter Savio was one of several Thursday who questioned the bidding process.
"The closing date is important. If they were going to accept any date other than the end of the year, it should have been disclosed," said Savio. "If they were going to do anything else, it should have been disclosed. It's not a level playing field."
City officials say the closing date was listed in other documents besides the request for proposal most prospective buyers had seen.
"We believe we've run this process very straightforward. Very up and up," said City Housing Director Keith Ishida.
The Carlisle Administration was pushing for a quick approval citing a possible change in interest rates and pointing out the city was losing about half a million dollars each month running the 12 properties.
"When do we realize these savings? Best guess," asked councilman Nestor Garcia. "Our best guess is the second quarter of next year," responded a city official.
In the end, despite concerns over the process and the possible displacement of some renters, the council passed the resolution.
Tom Berg and Romy Cachola voted against the resolution. Ernie Martin, Nestor Garcia, Ann Kobayashi and Stanley Chang voted yes with reservations.
The council had grappled with this issue since August.
Other concerns raised today was the elimination of the gap group rental units. Those market rentals would increase 10 percent annually.
The city says it will work with the developer and offer rental assistance to affected renters. Council members say unless they would decide to reopen the entire bidding process, it didn't make sense to defer making a decision on the proposal.

text: Baker's claim to be the pro-education candidate defies common sense MTA MEDIA RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Oct. 31, 2010CONTACT: Laura Barrett, MTA Communications, 617-750-7412 or 617-878-8267The Charlie Baker camp has flooded the state with a robocall claiming that he's the more pro-education candidate because teachers have been laid off during the Patrick administration. This desperate call defies common sense. If Baker's policies were more likely to save teachers' jobs, why would the Massachusetts Teachers Association – which represents the vast majority of the teachers in this state – support Deval Patrick? Here are the facts: Deval Patrick has secured hundreds of millions of dollars in federal education funds, saving thousands of teacher jobs. Despite the recession, Governor Patrick has spared education funding from deep cuts in each of his budgets. Governor Patrick has opposed reckless tax cuts that would invariably lead to teacher layoffs. MTA's own membership numbers reflect that Governor Patrick's policies have saved thousands of education jobs despite the worst economic conditions since the Great Depression.On the other hand:Charlie Baker said he would have voted against the federal Educator Jobs bill if he had been in the U.S. Senate. This bill brought more than $200 million to our state and will save an estimated 2,000 jobs. If he cares so much about teacher jobs, why did he oppose this bill? Baker has proposed $2.5 billion in tax cuts – the same revenue loss that would occur under Question 3. As the Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation has shown, a revenue loss of that size would lead to massive state and local layoffs. If he cares so much about teacher jobs, why would he slash the revenues that fund them? Baker is calling for the layoff of 5,000 state employees, which includes faculty at our public colleges and universities. If he cares so much about teacher jobs, why doesn't he defend the jobs of those who teach our college students?

What is in this article?:
- Cost management, efficient water use two more keys to peanut profits
- Fixed equipment costs
- Procedure outlined
• Cost management is a broad term that could mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people, but in peanut production, it focuses on two specific areas.
• During a time of restricted water use and multi-year droughts, it's not enough anymore to simply water your peanut crop — you have to irrigate with precision and efficiency, and irrigation scheduling has become a common practice of winners of the Peanut Profitability Award.
Organizers of the Farm Press Peanut Profitability Award have reviewed production data from previous winners to arrive at a "Top 10 Keys to Peanut Profitability." This list of successful production practices is being presented in descending order with sponsorship provided by DuPont Crop Protection. The Peanut Profitability Awards, based on production efficiency in whole-farm situations, is entering its 13th year and is administered by Marshall Lamb, research director for the National Peanut Research Laboratory, and his staff.
Coming in at No. 6 and No. 5, respectively, in the "Top 10 Keys to Peanut Profitability" are cost management and efficient water use.
No. 6: Cost management
Cost management is a broad term that could mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people, but in peanut production, it focuses on two specific areas.
"In peanut production, we're dealing with two aspects of cost management – variable costs and fixed costs," says Marshall Lamb, research director with the National Peanut Research Laboratory in Dawson, Ga., and advisor for the Peanut Profitability Awards.
"With variable costs, we're talking about things such as seed, chemicals, irrigation and others. There's not always a lot of room to make reductions in these areas because a good farmer will follow whatever recommendations are necessary to make a crop.
"In a year when there's a pest outbreak, they have to use more chemicals, and whenever there's a drought, they have to irrigate more."
Farmers have seen inflationary pressure on all costs during the history of Peanut Profitability, says Lamb, resulting in a steady increase in cost of production. These costs have especially been driven by fuel costs.
As for fixed costs, however, farmers have more control.

Base personnel help police, firefighters search for device.
PORTALES — A bomb scare caused the evacuation of two Eastern New Mexico University residence halls on Thursday, but no explosive device was found.
"ENMU police saw a suspicious vehicle and they called us with a mutual aid request," said Airman 1st Class Jason Marquis of the 27th Fighter Wing Public Affairs Office at Cannon Air Force Base. "The dogs alerted on something in the car. From there, they set up a perimeter and contacted the Explosive Ordnance Disposal team."
Exactly what circumstances initially led to the suspicious vehicle report were not clear on Thursday. Officials said a police report with additional information could be ready for public inspection today.
Residents of the Bernalillo and Lincoln residence halls were evacuated from their rooms for more than three hours as a safety measure.
Officials with the Portales Police Department, Portales Fire Department and university police responded and kept a perimeter around the residence halls. The vehicle in question was located on the parking lot of Bernalillo Hall, along 18th Street.
University police directed information requests to Ronnie Birdsong, ENMU's vice president of university relations.
"We put out a university broadcast announcement to notify everyone at the school," Birdsong said. "As well, the residence halls were blocked (off) and checked room to room."
Birdsong said each college's dean was notified of the incident, and some chose to send an employee to address each class about the event. Housing staff, under the supervision of authorities, checked for students still in the halls after an evacuation about 10:30 a.m.
"I had been sleeping for about an hour since it started," said freshman Jerrid Williams, a Lincoln Hall resident. "My alarm clock was going off, the (hall's fire) alarm was going off. What it took to wake me up was (a housing employee) jiggling my doorknob."
Williams and other students spent part of the afternoon outside on the sidewalk across from Lincoln, until there was deemed to be no explosive. Residents were allowed back into the halls soon after 2 p.m.
"I was really impressed with the orderliness of the operation and with the way the students responded," Birdsong said. Birdsong did not know details regarding the vehicle in question, or if the incident could be related to Monday's bogus bomb threat at the Roosevelt County Courthouse.

Living with rheumatoid arthritis can impact a person's social and romantic life as well as alter their physical abilities.
According to the study in the "Oxford Journals," about one-third of the patients surveyed said rheumatoid arthritis put a strain on their relationship with their partner. Some of the reasons for this strain included the patient's struggle with daily activities as well as not being able to engage in social activities.
Patients said these issues can lead to emotional and financial stress.
More than half of the patients surveyed said their rheumatoid arthritis affected their sex lives. The patients said pain and fatigue put limitations on their level of intimacy.
Arthritis can also impact a patient's relationship with his or her friends and family.
People with arthritis may not be able to go out with friends as often, or engage in activities that might be too physical, like even going to the mall or working out.
Rheumatoid arthritis patients might also struggle to stand on the sidelines at their child's game, or be able to play in the yard or participate in other more physical games with their children.
According to Arthritis Self-Management, families who are struggling with arthritis should work on their communication. The site says it's important for family members to be able to voice concern and frustration to work through some of the emotional issues associated with arthritis.
When working on family issues is too hard to do on their own, some families may need to seek out professional help to try to work through the issues at home and try to find some solutions.

Even though non-traditional suppliers of storage devices find that the market of solid-state drives (SSDs) is expanding, Western Digital, currently the world's largest maker of hard disk drives (HDDs), finds its SSD business struggling. Nonetheless, the company plans to continue investments into its development.
"We believe that the solid-state solutions are not competitive in the mainstream PC market, whether laptop or desktop, the economics just do not work out. Where the storage element is constrained by form-factor than on high price point devices, solid state is an appropriate solution. [Which is in] the very small form-factor devices," said John Coyne, chief executive officer of WD, during the most recent conference call with financial analysts.
Western Digital on Tuesday reported revenue of $2.4 billion, hard-drive unit shipments of 50.7 million and net income of $197 million, or $0.84 per share for its first fiscal quarter ended Oct. 1, 2010. In the year-ago quarter, the company reported revenue of $2.2 billion, shipped 44.1 million hard drives, and reported net income and earnings per share of $288 million and $1.25, respectively.
Of $2.4 billion of sales, only $33 million were received from sales of WD TV media players, WD Livewire network kits and solid-state drives. Sales of those devices are flat year-over-year and up 22% from the previous quarter. Despite of tepid welcome of SSDs by its customers, WD will continue to address enterprise flash-based storage market with new offerings.
"We are working diligently on [SSD] product for the enterprise space, which, we believe, is the most attractive application for solid-state drives, attractive to the customer because of the value it brings, attractive to us because of the value that we bring to the knowledge in the area of applications and management of media," added Mr. Coyne.

Hey, new here.
I have been getting headaches every evening now. I have heard something about bf and headaches. Is there any correlation?
Hey, new here.
I have been getting headaches every evening now. I have heard something about bf and headaches. Is there any correlation?
How long have you been breastfeeding? Are you getting enough water? Enough iron in your diet? Hopefully someone else has something more educated to say, but I've always found (BFing or not) that I get headaches in the evening when I'm dehydrated.
Yeah, it kinda depends on how long you've been breastfeeding: at first, I had lots of Oxytocin (a hormone that is involved in mommy-baby bonding and in milk production) headaches. Now I have to make sure I keep my fluids up, too, or I get headaches during or after nursing.

We Will Always Need More Taxes
According to President Obama, there is no longer any doubt that America needs to raise taxes yet again.
In his interview with CBS that aired just before the Super Bowl, the president stated "there is no doubt we need additional revenue coupled with smart spending reductions in order to bring down our deficit, and we can do it in a gradual way so it doesn't have a huge impact."
According to Bloomberg.com, Obama isn't demanding higher tax rates anymore; he apparently got what he wanted in the Fiscal Cliff deal, and doesn't want to re-open that can of worms quite yet — though Democratic demagoguing definitely suggests that the issue of raising rates will definitely be brought up again soon.
There is one important thing that all Americans should remember when it comes to Democrats talking about "balanced" approaches and the need for more taxes: we still have no budget. This should be an instant credibility-killer for any Democrat who even thinks about blaming our nation's economic problems on Republicans.
In addition to that, President Obama has lost all credibility himself to talk about deficit reduction, "balanced" approaches, and paying down our debt. He has consistently been the biggest-spending President in US history. Every one of his proposed budgets was so bad he couldn't even get any support for them from members of his own party, and apparently he was so busy with the campaign last year that no one in the White House could be bothered to put together a budget proposal for this year — the Administration just missed their legally-mandated deadline for submitting a budget to Congress.
The simple truth is that the President of the United States only cares about protecting our nation financially only in so far as he can use the right rhetoric to smear his political enemies. The entire Democratic Party has turned their backs on our nation's financial future, choosing to use bribes in the form of government programs to prop up their own power base. It doesn't matter how many times, or how many ways the president and his allies call for tax hikes — they can call it "increasing revenue," they can call it "fairness," they can call it whatever they want. In the end, no matter what it's called, it spells bad news for America, because taxes will never be high enough to pay for everything the Democrats demand.

Networking Tips
Successful Networking: What is it and how do I do it?
Did you know that only 20% of jobs are ever advertised? The remaining 80% of jobs represent the "hidden job market." Networking generally fills these positions. Usually, companies will look to people within the organization (a "known entity") or to individuals who come recommended to them from people within the organization which, in turn, helps to decrease recruiting costs.
What is networking?
Networking is the process of establishing, building, and maintaining relationships (contacts) as a source of gathering information. Networking is not merely handing out resumes or business cards, asking for jobs or leads, being pushy or overbearing. In contrast, to be effective at networking you must:
- Show a genuine interest in the other individual.
- Build a strong rapport by being friendly and enthusiastic.
- Recognize the importance of the two-way nature of networking and thus mutually sharing information and advice with the other individuals to assist them in achieving their goals.
Advantages to becoming proficient at networking
- Have earlier chances at opportunities for employment (less competition).
- Experience greater satisfaction in job as you may influence job description or roles.
- Avoid the advertised market where positions are sometimes close to being filled from within an organization.
Network to
- Explore career fields.
- Identify job search leads.
- Build & manage your career over time.
Developing a network list
Your initial networking list can come from a variety of sources:
- Personal Contacts: family, friends, neighbors, classmates, acquaintances, organizations, church groups
- Work Contacts: co-workers, supervisors, colleagues
- Educational Contacts: teachers & professors, academic advisors, athletic coaches, alumni networks
- Professional Group Contacts: Chamber of Commerce, professional trade associations, career centers
- Professional Contacts: doctor, dentist, optometrist, lawyer, accountant, banker, insurance agent, realtor
Brainstorm as many potential contacts as possible. It is also important not to overlook or underestimate the magnitude of "chance encounters," such as waiting in line at the supermarket, sitting next to someone on the bus, or the individual standing alone at a party.
Ways in which you can naturally build or increase your network of contacts
- Volunteering
- Job shadowing
- Joining a club, organization, or professional association
- Informational interviewing
The preferred method to network is face-to-face on the individuals' own turf. The contacts will be more apt to be relaxed in a familiar environment and generate better ideas for you. Also, when you are at their offices, the contacts may have business sources readily available, or may introduce you to other key people.
Prioritizing Contacts
The next step after generating a list of contacts is to prioritize them into 3 groups:
Group A: This group has the ability to make referrals to put you in contact with professionals working in your field or people working in organizations of interest to you. This group may also advise you on your resume, critique your presentation style, and help identify skill areas.
Group B: This group may or may not know of specific job opportunities, but can provide information on knowledge of the industry, ideas on how to approach people, current needs in the industry, and necessary skills required.
Group C: This group has authority to hire you for the work you want with their company if a job/need exists. Do not be worried if you do not have many C's. Keep in mind that your A's and B's will refer you to the C's.
Networking: The Process
Networking for some can be an intimidating or daunting process. You may want to practice on your "A" group before moving on to your "B" group. The following are some tips on how to network.
- Create a sound bite or personal pitch. This may include information on your education, skills or developed areas of expertise, along with characteristics of the job or workplace in which you'd like to work.
- Explain the nature of your call. Ask to meet with him/her (preferably at the office) for an interview lasting 20 minutes. If you were referred by another person, it is a good idea to mention this fact as it helps to establish a frame of reference for the individual.
- When meeting with the contact, establish rapport with the individual. When you establish a relationship with a contact, he/she will be more willing to refer you to others or pass your resume along.
- Don't be afraid to ask for names of other professionals whom you might want to interview to help you in your job search. These contacts may either be inside or outside of the organization. Also, ask for advice about breaking into the profession.
- If you are given another individual's name as a potential contact, follow up with him/her in a timely fashion. Make sure to check back with your original contact from time to time to advise them person of your status or progress. Be professional and send a thank-you note to express your appreciation for the help.
Networking over the Phone
Face-to-face contact when networking is generally the best method. If you find yourself using the telephone to network consider the following:
- Practice what you are going to say ahead of time.
- Try not to speak too quickly or too slowly and enunciate clearly.
- Do not use a lot of fillers (ums or ahs) when speaking.
- Use the inflection of your voice to indicate enthusiasm that cannot be seen on your face.
- Keep a notepad and pen or pencil handy to jot down any notes.
- Remember: The way in which your message is communicated may be more important than the actual message
Final Thoughts on Networking
- Be specific about what you need.
- Set realistic and attainable goals.
- Be organized and keep good records.
- Don't pass up a time to network-it can happen anywhere!
- Maintain a positive frame of mind.
- Follow up with others in a timely fashion.
- Thank those who have helped you along the way.
- Continue to network after you have found a job.
- Return the favor and be helpful to others.

I'm Not a Player, I Just Get Crushed A Lot
While on the subject of tragically sweeping heartache, I guess by now everybody knows that Kourtney Kardashian is preggers with that toolbox Scott Something-or-Other's kid, once again dashing my dreams of landing her on my "fantasy team" and rendering one of the hottest (and dumbest) free agents officially off the market.
Great. Just great. First some spazzbot ruined any chance I had at "getting close" to Erin Andrews by sneaking into her hotel room… and now this?
Still, dear readers, let us remember that it is often in the worst of times that we find the truest and simplest joys in life. Sure, the Cardinals got swept in the NLDS. But hey, we're not the Cubs! True, President Obama hasn't solved US America's economic crisis… or the health care crisis… or, well, any crisis. But hey, he's not George W. Bush! And well, okay, Kourtney's probably not gonna have my baby now. But hey, at least I'll never have to face the awful task of actually listening to her talk for any length of time!
Not that I would have anyway, 'cuz, well, y'know, hers is one of the most annoying voices "like um, y'know, like, ever or whatever." I'm just sayin…
There are worse things in life, people. And besides, there's always Kim… as long as you don't mind three-ways with Reggie Bush.
I think I'll leave that opportunity to Mr. Krause. He's always been the adventure half of RSBS.
Hate me 'cuz I'm sly, just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

Heartache is always out there… especially if you are Milton Bradley. : )
Ted, sometimes I think you just read the first line or two then comment… which is totally cool, but if ya do that ya may wanna do a better job of hiding it cuz after reading this article, the last thing that should be on your mind is Milton Bradley dude😉
I don't really keep up with the Reality TV scene, so when I first heard residual buzz about something called the "Kardashians", I immediately thought there'd been a revival of Star Trek:Deep Space Nine and I promptly got a geek-chubby.
Since this is not the case, I assume these assorted Kardashians I keep hearing about are from the same strain of bimb-virus as Paris Hilton?
Nevermind…Wikipedia to the rescue…and sho' nuff, a reality series is indeed involved.
Yes, I'm getting old and out-of-touch…pass the Viagra, please.
Jeff – I did read the whole article I swear, I was just connecting the heartache part with my Milton Bradley part, : ) don't worry, I totally read the whole post!!
Hey.. he's not George.. AND he has a NOBEL Prize! I'm not into the Kardashians.. but you can't deny they're lookers. Half of what ya see.. none of what ya hear!
Jonestein — 2/3 of the Kardashian girls are eye candy and eye candy only. Both featured here in this post. Do not be lured by the reality show. Ignore Khloe all together… all the Viagra in the world won't help ya with that.
Ted — Just askin'. It's cool man.
Buz — Lookers, lookers, lookers… only one consonant off from 'hookers'. Coincidence? Ye be thee judge.
Your goal was to get this person pregnant, Jeff?
Gee, Prince, you act like that's a bad thing.
Jeff, hookers lookers.. hey, I'm from Vegas.. whaddaya want? You're right on the fearsome 4some of Philly. Tough to get through those guys. Check out my off day post bud.. tell me what you think of something like this.
Isn't Kim a free agent? I thought she and Reggie broke up. Um, not that I watch that show or anything…
I have to say, personally, she is the hottest on of the bunch. I guess it is her personality I enjoy more than her two older sisters who sometimes come off as spoiled celebrity brats. Kourtrney also seemed to have the brains of the trio………but maybe I spoke too soon.
You have gotten two strikes against you this season.
You missed out on Erin Andrews at the All Star Game, and now Kourtney.
Let there not be a third strike, and hopefully if there is……..It is a swinging strike, not a "deer in the headlights" looking strike as you check her measurements with your eyes.
Happy hunting!
Rays Renegade
Jeff .. off the subject here .. but you'll catch the drift. I've been watching MLB channel and for some reason the last week or so they've showed the Cardinals era with Gibson on the mound. Stellar teams. Thanks for your comment. I wasn't sure if I wanted to waste people's time with this old stuff. I just love it though. It's the grass roots of why I feel the way I feel when I watch these great games.
I don't watch reality TV, so I'm out of the loop, but good luck with this (whatever it is). LOL.
Buz — Yeah, great stuff. I dig the old stuff. It's the sorta thing that brings me and the previous generation together… and the one before that even on down the line.
Erin — Yes, officially. But the rumor mill says they're gettin' back together. That's just what I heard third, fourth, fifth hand.
RR — Consider me to be SWINGING AWAY! LOL.
Jane — Me neither, but I rarely pass on opportunity for eye candy. You know me.
Guess this means you'll need a new "hottie" on your radar screen now…good luck with the search!
Ginny — Hehe. I could always use one of those.
I love it when an RSBS post sits on the vine for 24 hours, sprouting hi-larious comment section "fruit".
Only at RSBS will you find the words "lookers", "hookers", and "consonant" in the same sentence.
L-freakin-OL :^)
Jonestein — Sit on the vine they do (we're not responsible for the 'fruit' but we will take credit, hehehe.) Al is due for a spectacular (or not) bit of something very very soon.
Funny, Jeff. What do you guys see in those Kardashians anyway?
Er… well, Cat, what's NOT to see? LOL. That's where my fascination stops though… nothing behind those eyes. LOL.
I guess I'm in the same boat as Jonestein, too old for this reality stuff, but not requireing Viagra yet…eye candy she is, but would still feel like a cradle snatcher…my era of eye candy is more like Heather Locklear, unlike your failed antics Jeff, I actually have had coffee with her…some years back..unfortunately she's as travelled as a baseball team these days….
Outside the Phillies Looking In
Peter — Some teams aren't that traveled… like when was the last time the Texas Rangers took a celebratory trip to the White House? Oh, never? Got it. Go for Heather, dude.
