Headed For The Hall of Fame
Kevin Kouzmanoff donated one of the gloves that he used in his spectacular 2009 season to the Hall of Fame on Tuesday. The president of the Hall of Fame himself came to San Diego to recieve the glove.
If you've read this blog in the past few weeks, you've probably heard these numbers like five times. But they're so worth repeating. In 309 chances at third base this season, Kouz only had three errors, none of which were on throwing, by the way. That's a .990 fielding percentage, and that's incredible! It's gotten him a lot of attention, even from the Hall of Fame! Hopefully it will get him a certain award soon…
Anyways, here's some pictures from the big event.
This is just so cool for Kouz and the Padres. Kouz's season was just amazing, and I really really really really really hope that the Padres keep him. He's got a lot of worth to this team, and let's hope that the Padres see that. Who knows? Kouz himself maybe going into the Hall of Fame someday🙂
Congrats, Kouz. We are so proud of you!
Love you🙂

Nice acknowledgment for Kooz. Sounds like he did an incredible job with the glove this season. Three errors? Wow.
I saw him plenty, and Kouz definitely deserves the kudos.
Were you there when Jeff Idelson spoke at the Hall of Champions in May?

With a surface made up of positive shapes and negative lines, Sensai has been intricately designed on different levels to create a look that takes the Kisai series to the next dimension.
The lightweight, high grade aluminum used to make Sensai ensures a comfortable feel on your wrist and with a combination of brushed and sandblasted areas, the alumite finish provides a pristine, futuristic appearance.
Sensai features multicolored LEDs beneath sleek black acrylic lenses. The wrist band design has the appearance of a one-piece bracelet but is easily adjustable to fit different wrist sizes.
Sensai features an animation mode so that once every minute for 12 minutes after the time is displayed, the LEDs rotate on and off in a circular formation - a subtle effect that brings the watch to life. This function can be turned off as required.
A single touch of the upper button initiates a rotating animation before the remaining LEDs show the time. Twelve red LEDs represent hours, eleven green LEDs represent groups of five minutes and four yellow LEDs represent single minutes. The time can be shown immediately with a second touch of the button. To find out more, take a look at the interactive manual below.

Invisible guardians: Women manage livestock diversity
A new FAO study entitled Invisible Guardians: Women manage livestock diversity argues that women livestock keepers worldwide must be recognized as the major actors in efforts to arrest the decline of indigenous breeds, which are crucial for rural food security and animal genetics. This clip is from an interview with Ilse Köhler Rollefson, author of this study.

- Title
- New religious movements and the law: past interactions and new directions
- Author(s)
- Pfeifer, Jeffrey E.; Ogloff, James R. P.
- Abstract
- Although ratification of the First Amendment in 1791 sought to establish a clear boundary between church and state in the United States, the proliferation of new religious movements (or cults) within the last 25 years has served to cloud that boundary almost beyond recognition. The popularity of new religious movements throughout the 1970s and 1980s was matched only by the apprehensiveness which ultimately led to a number of legal confrontations on constitutional, criminal and civil levels. Early interactions between new religious movements and the law grew largely out of confrontations between these groups and the anticult movement who encouraged the use of deprograming as a means of 'rescuing' family members who had been deceived into joining one of these groups. The use of deprograming eventually led to questions of conservatorship and, of course, brainwashing. Although the direction of legal interactions with new religious movements has changed over the years, the concept of brainwashing, in one form or another, has continued to be an important sociolegal issue in the continuing clashes between new religious movements and the law. There have been a number of confrontations regarding the use of expert testimony in cult cases, civiI suits against cults alleging intentional infliction of emotional stress and fraud as well as a number of other claims. In addition to the above, interest in the interaction between the law and new religious movements also has been fanned by recent claims of criminal activity by so called satanic cults. Although many of these claims prove groundless, public perceptions of cults in general are again proving very negative as a result of the reports. Given the continued interaction between new religious movements and the law, this special issue seeks to illustrate some of the current sociolegal and psycholegal concerns and advances in the area. Although certainly not comprehensive, the articles provide the reader with a sampling of many of the issues which are presently of concern to social scientists, mental health professionals, and legal scholars who are interested in the area of new religious movements and the law. It is our hope that these articles will encourage further investigations into this area.

I can't believe anyone would have the gall to make comments about such a personal decision! Seriously! I'm lucky to have supportive parents, ILs, and doctor, but I certainly don't give a rip what anyone else thinks about my deicsion to keep nursing DS past age 1.
Someone here mentioned her mother didn't BF because of the lack of 'freedom' if she had done so...if you read What To Expect, the pros of BF and FF are discussed. Almost all of the BF pros are beneficial to the baby (PLUS benefits for mom like faster wt loss, etc.!) and ALL the pros of FF are beneficial to the MOM ONLY! And since when did having a baby mean you still got to be 'free'?
Sorry, that turned into a total vent/rant!

Growing diabetes rates in the U.S.
According to the Mayo Clinic, diabetes is a disease or group of diseases that affect how one's body uses blood glucose. Statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show that diabetes rates more than tripled between 1980 and 2010.
More than one-third of U.S. adults are obese. Obesity is one of the leading causes for diabetes; nearly 30 percent of diabetes cases can be attributed to obesity. Adults are not the only ones at risk for developing diabetes, as children are also at risk. According to Roni Caryn Rabin of the New York Times, "nearly one in four American adolescents may be on the verge of developing Type 2 diabetes or could already be diabetic." Since disease develops more rapidly in children it is also more difficult to treat.
Dan Hurley, a freelance medical journalist, explored other ideas that could be contributing factors to the rising level of diabetes in today's society. The possibilities he presents are reflections of modern-day lifestyle. Children are growing too quickly. Since growing puts stress on a body, children who grow faster and are bigger are more likely to develop Type 1 diabetes than smaller children. Hurley argues that vitamin D levels affect those who suffer from Type 1 diabetes. He claims people that live in the North are much more likely to develop diabetes than those that live closer to the equator with constant sun exposure. Hurley's other hypotheses include the following ideas: our environment has become too clean and we lack exposure to different germs that help us fight diseases like diabetes; exposing infants to formula including cow's milk might keep the immune system from developing properly leading to the onset of diabetes for babies genetically susceptible. Lastly, he argues that long term exposure to pollution can increase the possibility of contracting Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.
According to the CDC's statistics, diabetes is in the top 10 leading causes of death in the United States. Their studies showed that those who increased their physical activity and lost weight reduced the development of Type 2 diabetes by 58 percent.

|9,25 - a factor that could close the global warming debate
|16:21:00, 7th September, 2010
The CO2-sensitivity describes the warming effect induced by a doubling of the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere, and is thus the epicentre of the global warming discussion. Estimates of the CO2 sensitivity are very different, and the value range used by IPCC appears unlikely to physically impossible. To show this, I will focus on the factor between the total CO2 warming and then the warming from a single doubling of CO2 concentration.

PORTALES — Seven former ENMU athletics have been selected to go into the school's Hall of Honors during the Greyhounds' opening 2010 football game against Southwest Nazarene on Aug. 28.
They include Julie Baxter (volleyball), Gabe DeHoyos (baseball), Jamaal Hunnicutt (men's basketball), Rachel Mohler (softball), Treena Royston (women's basketball), Jim Harmon (support, posthumous) and Mike Slinker (support).
Baxter, originally from Dallas, Oregon, was an outside hitter and earned All-Lone Star Conference honors in volleyball in 1993 and 1995, leading the Zias to an LSC tournament title in 1993.
DeHoyos, from Artesia, was a first-team All-LSC selection in 2000 and 2001 and ranks third in ENMU baseball history with 16 career wins. He owns the program's lowest earned run average and batting average-against.
Currently pitching for the San Antonio Mission in the San Diego Padres' farm system, he has school records with 16 complete games, five shutouts and 204 strikeouts.
Hunnicutt, from Amarillo, was a three-time All-LSC pick in men's basketball and helped the Greyhounds to two division titles. He is 11th in the program's history in scoring with 1,311 points.
Mohler holds Zias records in numerous categories, including home runs (33). She was All-LSC South for four years, leading ENMU to 105 wins in that time and an NCAA Division II College World Series berth in 2001.
With 910 points, Royston is tied for 15th place on the Zias' all-time scoring list in basketball with Cat Clay, who just completed her junior season. Originally from Kirtland, she was second-team All-LSC South twice under coach Wayne Moore and helped the Zias to an LSC championship in 1993 with a 23-5 record (12-2 South).
Harmon was an ardent supporter of ENMU athletics through the bench club. Slinker served as the sports information director for a time, helping produce media guides to keep a record of ENMU athletics history.

Geography is a factor that my clients frequently fail to consider when naming a guardian for their minor children. If it is possible, name someone who lives close.
If something happens that renders you unable to care for you minor children, it will be a stressful time for the children and for the named guardian. The last thing that you want is to add more stress to the situation. If the children have to move a long distance to the guardian, or if the guardian has to move to the children, the relocation will add additional stress.
If possible, name someone who lives close. Of course, some of us do not live near the person or person that we feel would be the best guardian of our children. If that is true for you, it is ok. Geography is one of many factors to consider when deciding on who should act as guardian. Very few people will have a guardian who fits perfectly when considering all of the factors. Just do the your best to consider the factors and seek the counsel of a competent estate planning attorney if you feel you need to.

The Zags ran out to a quick 8-0 advantage and went on to easily take the 79-50 victory over the visiting Broncos in front of 5,690 Bulldogs faithful at the McCarthey Athletic Center.
"I am extremely happy with today's win," stated Gonzaga head coach Kelly Graves after the game. "To open league with two quality wins is not only great but also very important. Give credit to Jennifer Mountain and Santa Clara, they played hard and are a good team. They just struggled a bit today."
Those two impressive plays helped Gonzaga race out to an 8-0 edge and ultimately an 18-2 advantage at the 14:07 mark of the first half. Santa Clara's only bucket during the first six minutes came at 17:19 mark on a layup by Meagan Fulps. Besides that, the Bulldogs forced the Broncos to turn the ball over six total times and miss their five other shots.
Gonzaga's continued to extend its lead and held the 32-9 edge at the 4:55 mark after another run, this time an 11-0 run that turned the 21-9 lead to its 23 point advantage. Redmon began the run with a 3-pointer and sophomore Sunny Greinacher closed it out with back-to-back jumpers.
The Bulldogs went into the locker room with a 30-point advantage at 47-17.
"I thought that the first half that we played about as good as we have played all year at both ends of the court," explained Graves of his team who forced 11 first half turnovers and held the Broncos to 28.0 percent shooting. "We have had halves where we have played one of the two ends very, very well, but maybe not as much at the other end. I thought that today at both ends of the floor we looked pretty good."
The second half saw 13 of the Bulldogs 14 players score and each player saw quality minutes with no player logging more than 11 minutes.
It was freshman Elle Tinkle who came off the bench and gave Gonzaga its largest lead of the contest. Tinkle hit a mid-range jumper with 8:20 remaining in the game to put the score at 66-30 and the lead at 36 points.
The Zags finished the game shooting an impressive 48.5 percent from the floor (32-of-66) for the game, which included a blistering 52.8 percent (19-of-36) in the opening 20 minutes.
Gonzaga (12-4, 2-0 WCC) was led to the victory by both Palmer and senior Taelor Karr. Palmer scored double-figures for the 15th time this season with a game-high 17 points – 13 of which came in the opening 20 minutes. Karr, coming off a 27 point performance, kept it going with 15 points. She sank 5-of-8 from the field, including 3-of-4 from beyond the 3-point arc.
"Taelor is starting to play," stated Graves of Karr who hit 11-of-13 3-pointer over GU's two opening WCC games this week and averaged 21.0 points per game. "She had a weekend that we thought that she was going to have. If we can continue to get that effort from her, wow. That's just makes us doubly tough to defend."
Santa Clara (9-6, 1-1 WCC) was led by Lindsay Leo with a team-high 16 points, along with six boards and three blocks.
Gonzaga now hits the road for the first time since Dec. 7 when it played at Portland State University. The Bulldogs will battle Saint Mary's College Thursday, Jan. 10 in Moraga, Calif., at 6 p.m. Saint Mary's also enters the contest with a 2-0 league record.

April 26, 2013 —
Sullivan West High School has been recognized nationally and in New York State as a silver medal award winning school, according to the 2013 US News and World Report High School rankings. Out of the 658 school districts and 1,149 high schools in New York State, Sullivan West ranked #144.
This honor is achieved by comparing all of the high schools in the nation using three criteria.
The first step was to sort out those schools that have performed better statistically in the state than average for the students in that state.
If you pass the first step, the second step was to evaluate if the disadvantaged students in the district were performing better than average for similar students in the state.
Meeting both of those measures, the third component was college-readiness performance. In Sullivan West, the AP data was used for this evaluation.
The national data compiled evaluated 21,000 public high schools. Sullivan West's national ranking was #1,666.
This is an honor for the students, faculty, staff, administrators, and Board of Education of the Sullivan West Central School District. This award is a reflection of the tremendous support the community provides for excellence in education. Sullivan West is very proud of the entire school community.

Activision has now officially responded to the reported shakeup at Infinity Ward.
The publisher has confirmed studio heads Vince Zampella and Jason West have left the company, but issued no other comment related to their departure. There was no mention of "insubordination" or "breach of contract" in Activision's statement.
Activision Publishing CTO Steve Pearce and head of production Steve Ackrich are temporarily in charge of Infinity Ward.
According to the release, Infinity Ward will move forward on developing two downloadable map packs for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, both due for release sometime in 2010.
Confirming what we already suspected, a new Call of Duty is coming from Treyarch Games later this year. What we didn't already know, however, was Activision's intentions for Sledgehammer Games (headed by former Visceral Games developers Glen A. Schofield and Michael Condrey) to release a brand-new Call of Duty game "in the action-adventure genre" sometime in 2011.
No setting or gameplay details were revealed for either upcoming Call of Duty product, but the "action-adventure" description suggests it won't be a first-person-shooter.
Activision also vaguely discussed intentions for the future of the series, which include pulling the Call of Duty franchise under a singular business unit. Activision also intends to "expand" the Call of Duty brand similar to what Blizzard Entertainment has done with its franchises.
This lines up with Activision's public intentions to eventually release a subscription-based Call of Duty game. According to Activision, this change "will include a focus on high-margin digital online content and further the brand as the leading action entertainment franchise in new geographies, new genres and with new digital business models."
"2010 will be another important year for the Call of Duty franchise," said Activision Publishing president and CEO Mike Griffith in a brief statement. "In addition to continued catalog sales, new downloadable content from Infinity Ward and a new Call of Duty release, we are excited about the opportunity to bring the franchise to new geographies, genres and players."
More details as they become available.

There's a new gadget making the world do a double-take and we're starting to see more people using them in Madison.
Recently, Google hosted a contest called "If I had glass," where people had to say what they'd do if they owned a pair.
About 8,000 people in the nation were picked, including Madison resident Jeffrey Powers, of geekazine.com. Powers has been playing around with Google Glass for about a month now.
Google Glass is a highly-coveted computer that you wear and some people swear it will change the way we communicate.
"You can do a lot of things and once again, it is hands free," said Powers. "So, I could be walking the arboretum, walking around, taking a video."
"With Google Glass, I've got Jeff back," said Jeff's girlfriend Jennifer. "He can still check things if he wants to but it's a lot faster. It's a lot more discreet and it's easier to feel like I have that connection with him."
Google Glass is basically a computer you wear. Only a few thousand people in the U.S. are selected beta-testers. And though it's a novelty, it's certainly not a toy.
"Part of it is making money," said Powers. "Glass is going to be a part of a surgeon's lifestyle. Glass might become part of an airline pilot's lifestyle."
Most beta-testers had to pay $1,500 for a pair plus they had to fly to LA, San Francisco or New York to get them. It's Google's hope to sell them to consumers by the end of the year for about half that.

One evening last week I was driving home on a route that I don't take frequently. As usual, I was noting that various establishments had changed hands, become some business other than they were before, ones that I hadn't noticed before (and I should say here that I honestly don't drive around gawking at things instead of paying attention to my driving). I passed a small store with a large sign for groceries/meats/etc. and it said "Hispanish". I looked again, and the sign still had "Hispanish" on it. Now, I know about Spanish, and Hispanic, but this was a new one on me. Anybody else ever seen this? Just curious..._________________________

That's a new one on me, Vanguard. But it did rate 300 google hits. I'm trying to work out both the denotation and the connotation.

I've heard some say the language of the Cubans is so "far removed" from the *Spanish that they know that it is very difficult to decipher what they are saying. I'm positive that this is only a pronunciation issue, but it may explain some cultural differentiations imbedded in "Hispanish".

In general syllable-final esses are not pronounced but this could be seen as just a regional accent. However, they do some serious dropping of syllables in Cuban.

veinte y ocho comes out sounding like bente yosh.

"es lo mismo" in Cuban Spanish is pronounced "eh lo meemo." So much for sibilants.

The Andalucians also drop their final esses. They also pronounce their "ll" like the Russian "zh."

Every Spanish-speaking culture has it's dialects and accents that differ from the rest as well as cultural differences. Whenever I speak to someone from a different Hispanic culture, they usually know that my Spanish was learned in Mexico. Perhaps by using Hispanish, they are trying to emphasize the cultural commonalities rather than promote alienation of somewhat like cultures. That's my dos centavos.

Spanish is a living language, spoken at great distances, which thus develops differently in different places. I discovered, to my great surprise, for example, that, in some quarters, the Spanish word "mujer" is used to mean cocaine.

before i knew about AWAD, i worked with a cuban--in an office with many other hispanics/latino's.. but Al (alfredo) and Jose, used to play word games (just as we do here-) comparing what word was used in cuba vs. PR for what (the way we compare trunk/boot, subway/undergroung, appartment/flat...
i know very little spanish, but thought the game interesting as a bystander. the common vocabulary in island populations, (and they are fairly close islands) was different. i have no doubts, mexican's have different words/uses for words, as do other populations, just as american english uses a different set from UK, OZ, NZ and at times even Canada!_________________________

MANHATTAN - A Stony Brook University student was found dead Saturday morning in Manhattan.
Jocelyn Pascucci collapsed early this morning inside the lobby of an apartment building in the East Village. The 19-year-old East Meadow resident was rushed to the hospital, where she was later pronounced dead.
Police say Pascucci had a heart condition and had been drinking with friends. As of now, it is unclear whether that played a role in her death.

Is it okay to mix thawed milk from different days?
Is it okay to mix thawed milk from different days?
Do you mean mixing the milk once it has defrosted and combining it in one bottle for baby? I think it's OK - We've done this quite often with DS who is now 14.5 months old. As far as I can tell, there have been no problems. Of course, sniff each thawed batch first and make sure it seems ok, etc., etc., before combining!
This is probably a stupid question but do you have to cool breastmilk before storing?
If you are planning to be able to use the milk w/in a 4-6 days (some references say as many as 7 days as long as you keep it quite cold), I think it can stay at room temp after you have pumped it for up to something like 6-8 hours. I wouldn't do this unless you plan to use it w/in that time, unless you have no options and can't get it into a refrigerator or cooler-pack. If you can, after you pump, get the milk into a refrigerator or cooler-pack asap. The less air in the storage container with the milk, the better (i.e., if you pump 2 oz and have a small bottle for it, that's better than storing in a 6 or 8 oz bottle - if you have the option!). If you are not going to use the milk w/in 4-6 days, try to get it frozen as soon as you reasonably can. I'm sure there are more precise LLL printed guidelines on all this on the website somewhere.... I'd have to go hunting. But what I've described is the info I've used for the last 14 months - based on working with lactation consultants, etc.
And, nope...not a stupid question at all!
Do you mean cool before freezing? Most mothers do, but it's not neccessary.
And you *can* mix previously frozen ebm from different days to feed in one bottle.
Thanks a bunch for all the info! Its very helpful and appreciated.

Mimi Flickinger Rolland
Class Year:1955
Outstanding Alumni Award Winner 2005
Mimi Flickinger '55 Rolland of Fort Wayne, Ind., is a devoted fan of her family, community, the arts, education and North Central College.
In receiving the College's 2005 Outstanding Alumni Award at Homecoming, Rolland remarked that she abandoned her prepared speech after attending her Class of 1955 50-Year Club induction the previous evening. "Warm memories of good friends" and her time at North Central were rekindled, she said, and reminded her of the strength and self-confidence she developed while a student.
"I give cheers to North Central for arming each of us with ideas and strengths to lead the best possible lives."
During her lifetime, Rolland has been actively involved in volunteer and community activities, particularly those that addressed problems of Fort Wayne's inner city. She helped establish the East Wayne Street Center in inner-city Fort Wayne; started a nursery school program that evolved into a Head Start Program; served seven years as a Girl Scout leader for a group of nine inner-city girls; acted as a storyteller, song teacher and tutor in local public schools and Head Start programs; and led sing-alongs for students and senior citizens.
Involved in music groups as a college student, her love for the arts has never waned. Rolland continues to enjoy singing and playing the piano and harp and says, "Art and music bring beauty and joy to life." In 2001, she generously endowed the Mimi Rolland Professorship in the Fine Arts chair as part of North Central's Preparing for a New Century Capital Campaign.
A former North Central College trustee, she and her husband, Ian, recently donated $1 million to the Rolland Center Boilerhouse Café to create a warm and welcoming place on campus for people to gather. After its grand opening in fall 2004, the Café quickly became one of the busiest and most popular buildings on campus.
The Rolland's have five adult children and 13 grandchildren.

Are we facing the end of the "train and pray" era? Thomas Perez, the US secretary of labor, thinks it's time, and I agree. So does Drew Greenblatt, president of Marlin Steel. In a September 12 article for Inc., Greenblatt urges training__and some new thinking__for manufacturing jobs in order to fill the skills gap.
"Educators must talk more to job creators to learn their needs and to design training that is demand driven," he writes. "Employers, meanwhile, need to get more active in public-private partnerships focused on job skills. The return on investment for these programs must be made clear to all."
Greenblatt knows something about training workers. He also knows something about running a successful company. Maybe you remember reading about him in a June edition of APICS Operations Management Now? With investment in staff education and smart machines, Greenblatt turned a failing bagel basket company into a specialized manufacturer that uses design and engineering. In 2012, company sales were more than $5 million.
Now he's got his sights set on so-called soft skills. He describes how Perez reacted to the term at a recent roundtable discussion: "Let's change that to essential skills," the secretary requested.
Greenblatt brings the soft-skills point home by writing that they "are essential to the experience you provide to your customer and critical for the success and survival of every business, no matter its size."
However, Greenblatt doesn't stop there. He emphasizes the need for better alignment between community colleges and industry certifications to make candidates more "job ready." He touts the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) manufacturing skills certification system, a variety of credentials that are nationally portable and industry recognized. APICS is proud to be a part of this NAM system that "validates both the 'book smarts' and the 'street smarts' needed to be productive and successful on the job." Making productivity count
Consider the definition of APICS Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) as it appears in the APICS Operations Management Body of Knowledge Framework: "The supply chain is a fragile, dynamic entity, and managing its various links requires a broad understanding of its unique constraints. Procurement, manufacturing, and logistics, among other disciplines, all are woven together by technology. Speed to the market is enabled by the real-time exchange of information among widely separated partners. Demystifying these complex relationships is the goal of the CSCP educational program."
You can see why the push for skills gap education relies so heavily on certification programs. They are the link between "book smarts" and "street smarts." APICS has numerous resources to support you throughout your certification journey. Visit http://www.apics.org/certification to learn more.
Maybe you are just getting started in this field. APICS offers its Principles of Operations Management program, which has five customizable courses that are classroom-based and instructor-led for individuals new to materials and operations management.
Whether you are a new professional or a company decision maker, APICS has resources that can help you meet important needs in today's multifaceted business world.

I'd like to thank Dr. Mark Heard and Dr. Claire Zengerle for their 18 years of service (gratis) as Goliad County EMS Medical Directors; and would also like to apologize to them on behalf of Goliad County constituents who do not share the same view points as their own county officials.
I have never attended Commissioner's Court because their meetings take place at 9 a.m., inconvenient for a full-time employed person. Until the last two sessions, I was clueless to the proceedings and "politics" amongst the officials: none of their antics were flattering, I was very disappointed at the non-contribution of one commissioner and outraged at the disrespectful, sarcastic attitude of our county judge when speaking to one of the commissioners, as well as the county attorney.
If you were in court you would know that not all EMS personnel were sitting with Ms. Fonseca (EMS administrator) but some were, in fact, sitting with Dr. Claire Zengerle. Why?
Ms. Fonseca is Goliad County Emergency Management Coordinator, works with Homeland Security, and is the "middleman" for setting up an ER in Goliad, but is she available for her "crew" when they need her?
The EMS Policy & Procedures, Protocols: "discrepancies and inconsistencies" were found in these. Ms. Fonseca stated they were last updated in 2011. Why so long ago?
This is in no way an attack upon Ms. Fonseca's medical knowledge. I am questioning her availability, as EMS administrator, to perform the administrative duties assigned. From what I gathered, the issue is not the EMS system itself, but is rather the administration and supervision of that system.
I ask and plead that Goliad County constituents (taxpayers) ask their county officials hard questions and give them your thoughts on any matter, whether they take you seriously or not. Matters such as a possible "emergency room" run by a private, for profit organization (Detar Hospital); this type of medical facility is not a walk-in clinic and is definitely not cheaper than a rural health clinic.
Basically, if patients don't pay, they don't collect, and they can't make money; consequently, they close the doors, thus leaving Goliad County with an empty building, with dust collecting on expensive, unused equipment furnished by the taxpayers.
Each citizen is given the awesome power to vote; make it count. God gives you a voice, let it be heard.
Delia Guerrero Semander, Goliad County

Revised February 2009
24. Vermont—Town Tuitioning
Program type: Scholarship-like tuition assistance for students in small towns and rural areas
Description: Vermont school districts that have no available public schooling—normally, districts in small towns and rural areas—pay to send students to approved private schools or to public schools in other districts. Vermont school districts that operate schools with spaces available to such students also may send students to other public or private schools if petitioned to do so by parents. In general, local school districts determine both the availability and range of choice of schools. Private schools that receive students under the "town tuitioning" program must meet basic approval requirements and be nonsectarian. To be eligible to attend a receiving private school, students must be from a family residing in a sending district and gain admission to the school based on its customary admissions criteria.
Amount of assistance: For students attending approved private schools, sending districts pay the average tuition of Vermont schools or the tuition charged by the private school, whichever is less. For the 2006-07 school year,12 the average tuition for Vermont elementary schools was $8,430; the average tuition of Vermont secondary schools was $9,645 for grades 7-8; and $9,773 for grades 9-12. Sending districts may pay an amount higher than the average tuition if approved to do so by the local electorate.
Number of participants: In the 2006-07 school year,13 2,459 students received tuition assistance.
Authorizing statute: 16 Vermont Statutes Annotated §166, 16 Vermont Statutes Annotated §§821-833
Legislative history: The tuition assistance program was signed into law in 1869. The 1869 law allowed for tuition support of students to attend private secondary schools (as well as public elementary and secondary schools). In 1990, the program was expanded to include tuition support of students to attend private elementary schools.
Judicial history: In 1961, participation by religious schools was ruled unconstitutional. In 1994, the Vermont Supreme Court ruled to re-allow participation of religious schools in Campbell v. Manchester Board of School Directorss. In 1999, the same court rescinded this ruling in Chittenden Town School District v. Vermont Department of Education. On Dec. 13, 1999, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal.

The above is the site of tragedy and triumph. It, along with other sites like it, were the locations of what I feel was the biggest federal, state, and local religious persecution in the United States in the twentieth century.
The place is populated entirely by a Christian denomination. They are currently found throughout the upper interior especially in the states of North and South Dakota. They were once all located in the United States but government and public persecution forced all to flee to Canada. It was only decades later that a sizable minority moved back to the United States.
Who are these people and why were they persecuted? Leave your answer in the comments and see if you are right!
