Eau Roma Water
Soothing herbal toner
Dry, sensitive or mature needs a gentle touch. In a world of "technology" loaded cosmetics, using a toner with only two active ingredients may seem unusual. But at LUSH, we believe in using effective ingredients instead of filler. Our most moisturizing toner, Eau Roma relies on the King and Queen of the essential oils world, rose and lavender. Both oils have been used for thousands of years to treat dryness, redness or irritation. Rose is particularly nourishing and cooling, while lavender helps your skin produce the right amount sebum (oil) to keep it suppler. Simplicity at its best.

San Diego, Philippines (1600)
Found and salvaged by the French treasure hunter Frank Goddio. It was recorded by a team of French state archaeologists.
Description of the Site
The bottom of this ship was amazingly preserved from stem to stern, covering an area of 26.75 by 8.80 m. False-keel, keel, keelson, maststep, sternpost, deadwoods, footwales and stringers, floors, first and second futtocks, top timbers, planking and ceiling were preserved together with the pump arrangements, stanchions and bulwarks.
Construction Features
Only the extremities of the keel were observed. It was 21 x 21 cm in section, cut of a Philippine tree (Calophyllum inophyllum) and 23.73 m ( 42 codos) long. Apparently it seated on a false-keel 30 cm sided and 15 cm molded. The together was fastened to the keelson through the keel and floors. No information on rabbets. There were couces on the bow and stern, this last one having a skeg. The stem was not preserved, but its source showed an angle with the keel. The sternpost raked 60º. No further dimensions are provided. The keelson is cut out of a single log of a Philippine tree (Terminalia microcarpa), is 17.50 m long and has a section between 20-25 cm sided and 25-35 cm molded. The maststep is an enlarged portion of the keelson 3.40 m long, 35 cm sided and 30 cm molded. The mortise is 31 cm long, 17 cm sided and 16.5 cm deep, and is situated towards the after end of the maststep, around 1.5 m abaft the two midship frames and 11.10 m before the after end of the keel.
The two midship floors are fastened to two futtocks each, determining the framing pattern – the futtocks joined to the faces of the floors that look to the extremities of the ship. Its center is located between 75 and 85 cm before the middle of the keel. Fifty one frames are mentioned, floors, first and second futtocks being 15.5-19 cm sided and spaced between 15 and 25 from each other. Although no room and space average is given, the drawing shows it to be around 40 cm. Dovetail joints were observed (apparently just fastened with iron nails), as well as hooked scarves, although no further details are given. Second futtocks were placed end to end against the floors, and were not attached to the first futtocks. At the stern a mortar was poured between the Y-frames and the first futtocks rested upon it. All frames were cut from the same timber as the keel and source (Calophyllum inophyllum). It seems that many timbers had construction marks but again no details are given.
The planking was 6.5-7 cm thick and 30-35 cm wide and fastened with iron nails to the frames. No details are given. The planking was cut from a Philippine tree (Dipterocarpus cf. Grandiflorus).
Ceiling, Thick Stuff and Wales
Apparently there was no ceiling. A footwale was nailed over the overlap area of the floors and first futtocks. It was cut of the same wood as the keelson and was 31 to 35 cm sided, 14.5 cm molded, and notches over the frames. Another two stringers were placed over the overlap areas of the first and second futtocks, and second futtocks and top timbers. These were cut of the same wood as the planking, and were 25 to 30 cm sided and 8 cm molded.
It seems that there were no treenails. It also appears that the floors were not spiked to the keel, but only held by the bolts that fastened the false-keel, keel and keelson.
A fibrous material was retrieved from the seams and presumed to be coconut fibers after the written sources.
Ballast Round stones.
Size and Scantlings
Said to be 200 toneladas by the Spanish and 600 tons by Olivier de Noort. It has been reconstructed to be 23.73 m of keel, 11.30 (50 cm) of beam, 7.63 (50 cm) of depth in hold, and 37 to 37.5 m long on the main deck. These measures lead to a tonnage of 778 toneladas after Christobal de Barros and 1050 toneladas according to Tome Cano.

But one of the biggest challenges you face is how to get adequate daily servings of these nutritious vegetables. Virtually, every health authority recommends you consume at least five servings of both fruits and vegetables per day. Yet, very few people actually satisfy this requirement with sufficient amounts. Even I find myself challenged to do this consistently. Well, there's a simple solution to this perplexing problem. It not only can help you get the nutritious veggies you need, but it can also make them more enjoyable. This solution can help you obtain your daily target for vegetables and save you some time in the process. To me, this is so important I don't want to waste a second more of your time without cutting right to the chase! Juicing – Why It Should Be Part of Your Optimal Nutrition Regimen I believe vegetable juicing is one of the healthiest practices you can do. It's something I highly recommend as part of your daily regimen to complement a healthful diet. But juicing fruit is a somewhat different story. While you can certainly juice fruits, it's something I recommend only in moderation. Most fruit juices simply end up loaded with a ton of sugar because you are removing the valuable fiber which helps lower the absorption of the fructose in the fruit... There are many reasons why I feel you should consider incorporating vegetable juicing into your optimal nutrition plan. Primarily, because juicing… "Juicing can help you consume a wide variety of vegetables." Helps you absorb the nutrients from the vegetables – This is important because most of us have impaired digestion as a result of making less-than-optimal food choices over time. This can limit your body's ability to absorb nutrients from the vegetables. Juicing will help to "pre-digest" nutrients so you will receive most of the nutrition, rather than having it flushed down the toilet. However, unless you also eat the pulp, you will be missing out on the fiber that fruit and vegetables provide. Allows you to consume an optimal amount of vegetables in an efficient manner – Getting more than five servings of vegetables per day is challenging for everyone. Not only is finding the time an issue, but even just eating the recommended number of servings may be difficult. But a quick glass of vegetable juice can help you achieve the needed servings. Encourages a wider variety of vegetables in your diet – Many people eat the same vegetable salads every day. This violates the principle of regular food rotation. But with juicing, you can juice a wide variety of vegetables that you may not normally enjoy eating whole. However, with all the anticipated prep and cleanup associated with juicing, many people think it can be a real chore. But I think you'll be presently surprised with how quick and easy it can actually be, particularly when you find the right juicer to do most of the work for you. And I'll let you in on one of my juicing secrets – you don't have to spend big-time bucks to find what I consider to be a high-quality, efficient juicer. And here're some valuable tips on… Quick and Easy Ways to Efficient Juicing "I recommend you start juicing with vegetables that are easy to digest and tolerate. If you need a sweeter taste, you can add a lemon or lime, but it's best to avoid high-fructose veggies and fruits (like apples)." "I recommend you start juicing with vegetables that are easy to digest and tolerate. If you need a sweeter taste, you can add a lemon or lime, but it's best to avoid high-fructose veggies and fruits (like apples)." The idea of juicing raw vegetables to maximize your vegetable intake is very compelling. But let's face it. You probably have a busy schedule, so it's critical to find the most efficient way to juice. However, when looking to bulk-juice in advance to save time and be more efficient, this can present some challenges of its own. Vegetable juice is perishable – so it's best to drink immediately after juicing. But there are some techniques you can use to make it last longer… at least for about a day. Here's a handy list to help you get started in juicing, and even some tips for those who have been juicing for some time. Start out by juicing vegetables that are easy to digest and tolerate – I recommend celery, fennel (anise), and cucumbers as your starting base. But everyone's system is a bit unique. So, "listen" to your body when you first start juicing. Give organic veggies a priority because they can save you time – With most organic vegetables, you don't even have to remove the skin (like cucumbers). Plus, organic veggies have been grown without the use of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. Try other veggies when your system is ready – Once you feel you're tolerating celery, fennel, and cucumbers, you can begin adding other leafy vegetables like kale, collards, parsley, dandelion greens, cabbage, endive, lettuce, and most any other dark green leafy vegetable. Here's a great juicing suggestion that's personally used in our kitchen here at the office. Depending on the size of the veggies used (preferably organic), this recipe yields about eight to ten 10-ounce glasses of delicious, hearty juice. Enjoy!!!! 2 stalks of celery 1 bundle of collards 1 bundle of kale 1 fennel 2 cucumbers 4 limes ½ bag of frozen cranberries Be sure to start with small amounts as most of the above vegetables can be quite bitter. If you need to make your juice more palatable, juice-in a half lemon or whole lime – I recommend avoiding carrots, beets, or apples because of their high fructose content. Adding lemons or limes can help make the juice easier to drink. If you really need more flavor, certain berries (especially cranberries) contain low amounts of fructose. Save time and prepare your juice once for the entire day – If you're planning on drinking your juice multiple times during the day, you can do everything at once to save time. But I recommend you pour the juice into a glass Mason or Ball jar filled to the top to avoid oxidation. Place it in the refrigerator right away. This will help to potentially retain the nutritional value for the next 12-24 hours. Get organized when you're ready to juice – Get all the vegetables washed and ready to go. Don't peel or slice anything you don't have to. With most organic veggies, you can just go ahead and juice them without peeling. Some experienced juicers have the entire process (including cleanup) down to about 10 minutes. If they can do it, so can you. Save time in cleanup – If this becomes too big a chore, you're probably not going to juice. So, find a juicer that's easy to clean and has the majority of its juicing parts specified as "dishwasher safe." That way you'll only need to hand wash a few pieces. Cleanup shouldn't take much time at all with a high-quality, mostly "dishwasher-safe" juicer. To me, one of the most important steps in saving time is to get organized. Once you've done that, you'll find that the whole process goes quicker once you get some experience under your belt. A 'Nothing Wasted' Approach "To get optimal nutrition when juicing, it's best to consume the entire vegetable, including the pulp." One thing I've personally discovered is with the right high-quality juicer, there's very little wasted from the juiced veggies… and that includes the pulp. If you've not used a juicer before, pulp is a byproduct that's leftover after you've "fed" the veggies through the juicing device. And many folks wonder what to do with the pulp other than throw it away. Many simply throw the pulp away, but one good way is to recycle it by composting it into your vegetable or ornamental garden. However, I have an even better solution and that is to eat it. Now, please don't wrinkle up your nose and fire off a quick "how disgusting" before you hear me out on this. From a nutritional standpoint, it's more useful to consume the entire vegetable because the fiber… Serves as a prebiotic which can play an important role in your digestion Helps create raw fuel for your "good" bacteria to thrive in your GI tract Here are a few suggestions on how to make the healthy pulp quite appetizing… Dress the pulp up with some Himalayan salt and other condiments like balsamic vinegar and crushed red peppers Put the pulp in a dehydrator until it is dry and make vegetable pulp crisps Add a lightly poached egg over the pulp with some melted, fresh raw butter These are just some ideas to demonstrate how juicing can turn into a "nothing is wasted" approach with the healthy vegetables you choose to juice. Another important juicing-related issue that I'm often asked about is… 'How Much Juice Should You Drink?' "As a good rule of thumb, I recommend you drink at least a pint (16 ounces) of fresh juice a day." As a rule of thumb, I recommend that you get around a pint a day (16 ounces) but you can certainly juice more. Probably the best approach as I mentioned above, is to juice your full daily amount at a single time for efficiency purposes. It you do that some time in the morning, you can split up drinking it between morning and the afternoon, or even just before dinner. Even though vegetable juice is perishable, if you store it right after you juice in the frig using a glass Mason jar, or Ball jar filled to the top, it should be good for about 12-24 hours. However, it's real important for you to note that vegetable juice has very little protein and virtually no fat. As loaded as the juice is with nutritious vitamins and minerals, by itself, it's not a complete food and should be used as a complement to your healthy diet and not a total meal substitute. Ideally, it can be consumed with your meal or as a between-meal hearty snack. Vegetable juice is simply a phenomenal way for you to get healthful amounts of vegetables without having to actually eat what may be a challenging number of suggested servings. Organics – The Best Way to Go With juicing, I believe it is always your best choice to go organic whenever possible. However, I realize you might not always be able to find what you need 100% of the time. The vegetables listed below are the ones you should really focus on buying organic… mainly because these are the ones most often loaded with pesticides (according to the Environmental Working Group): "Including as many organic vegetables in your juice as possible is a smart choice. And one of the best places to find fresh organic produce is at your local farmer's market." Celery Spinach Kale Collard Greens Lettuce Carrots Cucumbers (not as bad if you peel prior to juicing) You may have noticed that two veggies (celery and cucumbers) on this list are two of the three that I recommend you start juicing with. Most grocery and whole food types of stores have organic vegetables you can use… obviously, the fresher the better. A local farmer's market can be an even better choice for fresh organic produce. With all this said about juicing, finding the right high-quality juicer is so important to both save you time and help you reap the nutritional benefits of the juice… 4 Types of Juicers Compared Finding the right juicer is key in keeping your time and efforts to a minimum. No one, including me, will spend hours prepping, juicing, and cleaning up… it's just not practical or sustainable. That's why I focused on finding a juicer that gets the job done efficiently and at a reasonable price. To see the variety you're faced with, here's a handy chart that gives you a closer look at four of the main types of juicers available… Juicer Types Pros Cons Centrifugal – Tends to be the most popular and incorporates high speeds to obtain juice from veggies Among the least expensive juicers Noisy due to high speeds Can have a challenging time extracting juice out of veggies like wheatgrass, spinach, lettuce, and other greens Potential reliability issues with "cheaper" models Triturating – Incorporates twin gears to operate at low speeds Due to low speeds, generates less foam High-pressure squeezing helps break open tough veggie cell walls to efficiently yield juice Can be on the expensive side Wheatgrass – Designed for juicing wheatgrass and other leafy greens Does a great job extracting juice from wheatgrass and leafy greens, and is less expensive than others that juice all types of vegetables and fruits. Generally not designed to extract juice from non-leafy vegetables and most fruits Masticating – Uses a single auger to chew up vegetables and fruits By operating at low speeds, tends to be quieter, creates less foam, and generally has a long shelf life A high-quality unit can juice just about anything you might need Moderately priced Tends to cost more than cut-rate centrifugal juicers Overall, I favor the efficiency and affordability of masticating juicers. Triturating juicers are very good as well, but just tend to be more expensive. And I'm not convinced you really get that many added benefits for the higher cost. I would recommend avoiding cheap centrifugal juicers because I feel you're not going to be happy with the end result. Plus, their high-speed process is noisy and often causes excessive oxidation of the juice. As far as wheatgrass juicers, if all you want to juice is leafy green veggies and wheatgrass, you can save money by purchasing a juicer designed to just do that. However, if you want a juicer that does more (including non-leafy vegetables and fruits), then I recommend a multi-purpose masticating juicer. With these different types of juicers in mind, it can be a bit of a mine field out there when trying to decide on your best choice. That's why I put together a comprehensive checklist I'd like to share with you to help save you time searching for a high-quality juicing solution. The Ultimate Juicer Selection Checklist To take advantage of the amazing benefits of juicing, finding the right high-quality juicer can be the difference between you juicing on a regular basis, and doing it once and possibly never again. Over the years, I've spent quite a bit of time comparing a number of different types of juicers. Regardless of whether you're looking for a high-quality juicer to simply juice wheatgrass and leafy greens or want your juicer to do more, here are what I consider to be some of the most important factors. A good high-quality, versatile veggie juicer… "With my selection checklist, I've taken most of your guesswork out of finding a high-quality, versatile juicer." Separates out the insoluble fiber (pulp) – One thing to keep in mind is that a juicer and a blender are not the same. If you use a blender to create your juice, it will be filled up with pulp. Particularly with veggies, you don't want thick pulp in your juice because to me, it makes it pretty difficult to drink and enjoy. A high-quality juicer will eject the pulp into some sort of receptacle. And as I've outlined earlier, there are a few things you can do with the pulp to not waste it. Operates at low speed with a reliable motor – Weak machines with lower power output often have to run at very high rpm (revolutions per minute). These high-speed machines tend to be very noisy (hard not to wake up the entire house during early morning juicing). And if you have a juicer with not enough reliable power, when feeding produce into the juicer, the rpm could significantly drop resulting in potential jams and juicer stoppage. Some high-quality wheatgrass juicers don't use a motor at all. Instead, these juicers take advantage of human energy to keep the cost low and still produce excellent results. Incorporates auto-feed mechanism – To help the entire juicing process flow more efficiently, finding a juicer with some sort of auto-feed capability is a must. Instead of having to use a great deal of pressure pushing ingredients into the juicing device, an auto-feed mechanism helps pull the ingredients into the device for more efficient extraction. This can also help you save prep time as well because you won't have to pre-cut everything up into super small morsels prior to juicing. On the other hand, if all you need is a simple inexpensive wheatgrass juicer, the requirement for an auto-feed mechanism is not a necessity. Is EASY to use and clean – When you're pressed for time and are trying to be as efficient as possible, you need to be able to clean up quickly. Don't overlook this key factor. Look for a juicer with as few pieces as possible and one that ejects the pulp. The more parts you have that require cleaning, and the more pulp you have to scoop out of the juicer, the more time it will take you to clean up. With a higher-end multipurpose juicer, make sure the majority of juicer parts are dishwasher safe as well. Since less expensive wheatgrass juicers tend to have so few parts and can quickly be cleaned by hand, it may not make as much sense to even bother with a dishwasher. Provides flexibility by juicing different types of ingredients – Since we're focused on vegetable juicing, that's the number one priority in finding the best juicer. However, if you can find a reasonably priced juicer that will handle all types of juicing chores (fruits, etc), all the better. But if you're only interested in juicing wheatgrass and leafy green vegetables, look for one that is designed to effectively juice wheatgrass, spinach, kale, and most other leafy greens. You can save some money if that's your juicing focus. With all of these factors in mind, I've saved you valuable research time by finding two incredible juicers… both which I personally recommend to family and friends alike.

Simply wipe it down with a damp cloth. 2. Q: Is the Juice Extractor loud? A: The Juice Extractor is quiet enough to be able to have a conversation while juicing. There is a video on the right side of the page in a yellow box that demonstrates how quiet it is. 3. Q: The pulp is still coming out wet. What am I doing wrong? A: Try combining low-fiber produce like carrots with high-fiber produce like kale. This should decrease the moisture in the pulp and increase juice yield. Also, try to avoid using the pusher as much as possible. 4. Q: What are high-fiber vegetables/fruits? A: High-fiber produce includes green leafy vegetables (spinach, kale, chard etc), peas, peppers, rhubarb, apples, avocado, berries, orange, pears, broccoli and artichoke. Low-fiber produce includes zucchini, cucumber, asparagus, carrot, and tomato. 5. Q: Will the Juice Extractor juice wheatgrass? A: Yes, it will juice wheatgrass as well as other greens like kale and spinach. View Product Manual Click to view Juice Extractor Manual

The controversial College Hill home in Manoa has been described by some as the "jewel" of the Unviersity of Hawaii at Manoa campus. Others bristle at the high cost of maintaining it.
Crews have been working on and off at College Hill for the past four years. The tab has now hit the $1 million mark.
UH officials say in the process of overhauling the porte cochere and back lanai, crews uncovered termite damage in the main house and cottage.
That's why they decided to call in a structural engineer to reevaluate the work. A half-dozen change orders and two contracts later, crews have also replaced the roof, windows and siding.
"They are going to tent it when they are finished and they are going to do ground termite treatment and we are going to contract the termite treatment out for the next five to 10 years," said Vassilus Syrmos, UH vice chancellor for research and facilities.
Syrmos is suggesting that perhaps the UH Foundation take over from here.
"The question I have in my mind if the foundation take over the property, and create maybe a donor's friends -- Atherton House Friends -- that would pay for the repair and maintenance. This is a gorgeous house!" said Syrmos.
Former UH president Fujio Matsuda isn't sure if that's the best plan. He thinks the university has a responsibility for its upkeep. Matsuda's understanding was the home was donated to be the official residence of the president.
"That's what it was intended for and that's what I think we should use it for, otherwise we should return that nice property. It was the Atherton Family." said Matsuda.
Matsuda says he has fond memories of the home. He lived there between 1974 and 1984 when he retired.
The home was briefly being used as a venue after President MRC Greenwood declined to move in. Greenwood is currently being paid a $60,000 housing allowance while this house sits vacant and under repair.
This is the second time in 12 years that UH has paid a million dollars in renovation costs for College Hill.

This newspaper office's phones have been ringing constantly with picture permission requests, contact requests and emails from cities across the United States and United Kingdom about the tortilla Jesus story.
Garza and the staff of La Amistad have been interviewed by Corpus Christi TV stations, KIII, KRIS and KZTV. And the story has been mentioned in the San Antonio news stations and newspapers as well.
The story has reached states such as California, New York, Michigan, Idaho and Florida, just to name a few.
It's gone on to be posted on huge news websites such as The Huffington Post, CNN.com, MSNBC.com and AOL.com.
Telemundo aired the story on its nationwide Spanish language show, Al Rojo Vivo, Wednesday.
But how it crossed overseas to the United Kingdom is anyone's guess.
The story has surfaced on the entertainment website Anorak as well as the The Daily Mail, which is the United Kingdom's second biggest-selling daily newspaper after The Sun.
But the craze doesn't stop there.
On the CBS Sports message boards, member Mr. Shickadance posted, "Savior the flavor" while an anonymous blogger commented on Arbroath.blogspot.com's post, "I think Jesus needs to concentrate on ending hunger and wars instead of face planting all this food. That goes for the Virgin Mary, as well."
And how exactly did the story get on VHL.com, a Van Halen Links website that specializes in, well, Van Halen Links all over the web? The world may never know.
A few Twitter messages have popped up from San Antonio and Houston as well as Manhattan, all tweeting about who the image actually resembles.
On Facebook, discussions concerning whose likeness is actually burnt on to the tortilla has sparked more than 600 comments and growing, with the winner by a fair margin being Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees fame.
While some consider it a miracle of Christ and others use it as the punch line to a joke, the point that stands out above all the rest is that Jesus has touched them, whether in their hearts or their funny bones.

The image of The Thinker is not that of a passive dreamer, but of a man actively engaged in creative thought. Thinking has been expressed not only through the meditative attitude of the body, but through the effort of every muscle. As Rodin said, "What makes my Thinker think is that he thinks not only with his brain, with his knitted brow, his distended nostrils and compressed lips, but with every muscle of his arms, back and legs, with his clenched fists and gripping toes."

JERUSALEM — A Chinese foundation donated $130 million to Israel's Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, the Israeli university's largest-ever donation.
Along with benefiting Technion students and researchers, the funds from the Li Ka Shing Foundation will be used to establish the Technion Guangdong Institute of Technology in China, according to Technion.
Guangdong Province and Shantou Municipal Government also will contribute $147 million to fund construction and initial operations of the Technion Guangdong Institute, as well as provide land for the campus.
A memorandum of understanding between the universities was signed Sunday in Tel Aviv in the presence of Li Ka Shing Foundation and Hutchison Whampoa chairman Li Ka-shing. The agreement must be approved by the Technion and Chinese authorities.
Li's private investment company, Horizon Ventures, invested in the navigation app Waze in 2011. It has been reported that Li's profit from the sale of Waze to Google earlier this year was part of the donation to Technion.

Hassan Ammar / AP
Egyptian protesters gather outside the presidential palace after they broke through a barbed wire barricade that was keeping them from getting closer to the presidential palace, in Cairo on Dec. 7, 2012.
Updated at 3:40 p.m. ET: CAIRO -- Tens of thousands of Egyptian protesters surged around the presidential palace on Friday and the opposition rejected President Mohammed Morsi's call for dialogue to end a crisis that has polarized the nation and sparked deadly clashes.
"The people want the downfall of the regime" and "Leave, leave," crowds chanted after bursting through barbed wire barricades and climbing on tanks guarding the palace of Egypt's first freely elected president. The crowds did not breach the palace walls or the gates.
Egypt's state news agency reported that the election committee had postponed the start of voting for Egyptians abroad until Wednesday, instead of Saturday as planned. It did not say whether this would affect the timing of voting in Egypt, but the move is an indication that the president may also order a delay in the referendum for Egypt's constitution, which was scheduled to start Dec. 15.
Egyptian opposition leaders on Friday rejected a national dialogue meeting that had been proposed by the Islamist president as a way out of a crisis that has polarized the country and provoked deadly clashes in the streets. But for the most part, the demonstrations remain peaceful, and riot police and the military nearby have not engaged the crowds.
Meanwhile, Morsi's supporters in the Muslim Brotherhood held emotional funerals for six of the movement's members killed in fighting around the presidential palace earlier in the week.
Morsi had offered few concessions in a speech late Thursday, refusing to retract a Nov. 22 decree in which he assumed sweeping powers or to cancel a referendum next week on a constitution newly drafted by an Islamist-dominated assembly.
As protesters continue to gather near the presidential palace, Egyptian President Morsi announces a delay for Egyptians overseas to vote on a new constitution. NBC's Ayman Mohyeldin reports from Cairo.
Instead, he called for a dialogue at his office on Saturday to chart a way forward for Egypt after the referendum, an idea that liberal, leftist and other opposition leaders rebuffed.
They have demanded that Morsi rescind the decree in which he temporarily shielded his decisions from judicial review and postpone the Dec. 15 referendum before any negotiations begin.
Analysis: Supporters of Islamist president push Egypt to tipping point
A leader of the main opposition coalition said Friday it would not join Morsi's dialogue: "The National Salvation Front is not taking part in the dialogue," said Ahmed Said, a leader of the coalition, who also heads the liberal Free Egyptians Party.
The Front's coordinator, Mohamed ElBaradei, a Nobel peace laureate, urged "national forces" to shun what he called an offer based on "arm-twisting and imposition of a fait accompli."
Morsi's decree giving himself extra powers sparked the worst political crisis since he took office in June. The renewed unrest is dimming Egypt's hopes of stability and economic recovery after nearly two years of turmoil following the overthrow of veteran military strongman Hosni Mubarak.
It has exposed deeply contrasting visions for Egypt since the Arab Spring of revolution, one held by Islamists, who for decades were oppressed by the army and shut out of politics, and another by their rivals, who fear religious conservatives want to squeeze out opposing voices and restrict social freedoms.

'Red card'
Hundreds of protesters gathered in Cairo's Tahrir Square in response to calls by the April 6 movement, which played a prominent role in igniting last year's revolt. It says it wants to show Morsi a "red card," using a soccer metaphor for his dismissal.
Elsewhere, thousands of Islamists gathered at Cairo's al-Azhar mosque for the funeral of "martyrs" killed in the clashes. "Our souls and blood, we sacrifice to Islam," they chanted.
Ayman Mohamed, 29, among a few protesters near the presidential palace, ringed with tanks and armored vehicles after violence that peaked there Wednesday night, said Morsi should scrap the draft constitution and heed popular demands.
"He is the president of the republic. He can't just work for the Muslim Brotherhood," Mohamed said of the eight-decade-old Islamist movement that propelled Morsi from obscurity to power.
More Egypt coverage from NBC News
President Barack Obama told Morsi on Thursday of his "deep concern" about casualties in this week's clashes, in which seven people were killed and 350 wounded. Obama said "dialogue should occur without preconditions," the White House said.
The State Department said Friday it "deplores" the violence between rival groups of demonstrators and is calling on all political leaders to tell their supporters the violence is "unacceptable," spokesman Mark Toner said.
"We also look to the government of Egypt to respect the freedoms of peaceful expression and assembly and to exercise restraint," Toner said.
The upheaval in the most populous Arab country worries the United States, which has given billions of dollars in military and other aid since Egypt made peace with Israel in 1979.
On the doorstep of Egypt's presidential palace, angry protesters accuse Mohamed Morsi of stealing power and imposing a constitution they consider illegal. NBC's Richard Engel reports.

you don't even need to spend that much...if you can get a USB audio interface with some RCA inputs, you can just hook your turntable directly into it and play the records into Audacity. if the volume's too low, then you can hook it up through your amp with probably the same kind of cord...i have an RCA to mini (headphone) cord that i plug in from the headphone jack on my amp. it saves a ton of money, and then you don't have to resort to buying a shitty USB turntable.

Castleton bond vote talk creates a buzzBy Darren Marcy
Staff Writer | January 20,2014CASTLETON — For more than a week, social media and discussion around town have focused on an alleged threat by supporters of the town office building renovation against the fire department if firefighters didn't stop opposing the bond to renovate the building.
But the two men at the focus of the stories both say there was no threat and one says it may have all been a misunderstanding.
Fire Chief Heath Goyette, who is also a town employee, was running a Bobcat compact tractor near the Birdseye Diner when John Rehlen, a vocal supporter of the renovation plans, came out to talk to him.
Both men agree on the conversation to a point.
During the meeting, Rehlen asked Goyette if the town's volunteer fire department was going to actively oppose the renovation bond, which will be voted on Jan. 28, and Goyette said the department had no official stance on the issue and wouldn't be opposing or supporting the measure.
Goyette also said individual firefighters had their personal opinions, but the department was staying neutral.
"When the fire house was done and we had our own project to work on, I wanted nothing more to do with the town office debate," Goyette said. "I said, 'I haven't even made up my mind which way I'm going to vote on it.' I said to him, 'as you well know, there's a couple of the members who have been very vocal about 556. They do not represent the fire department as a whole.'"
Rehlen said he has no problem with individuals standing up for what they believe in.
"Any individual can do whatever they want," Rehlen said. "I have no concern about that. That's their individual right."
Rehlen said the confusion likely stemmed from his statement to Goyette about a group he is part of that opposed the previous effort to put the town office with the fire department on Route 30.
Rehlen is part of the Supporters of Castleton Town Office Renovation group and Rehlen said he wanted Goyette to know that the opposition was to the town office part of the project, not the fire station.
But Goyette heard it differently.
He left the conversation believing Rehlen had said his group was going to oppose the fire station's Act 250 permit.
"I didn't take it as a threat. I just took it as, I was being advised it was going on," Goyette said. "I went to the town manager and told him there might be opposition."
Rehlen said there has been no discussion about opposing the fire station's Act 250 permit among his group of 556 supporters.
"Absolutely not, period," Rehlen said Friday. "Our group has always been focused on 556 Main St. The vocal opposition of 556 Main St. have tarred us with opposition to the new fire house. Most of us voted for the new fire house. Our opposition has always been to moving the town office."
Goyette said he's worried about people believing that he or the fire department is choosing sides.
"I really don't want to be in the middle of this," Goyette said. "I just got my 25-year pin as a firefighter. I don't want any problems."
And Goyette said because he works for the town, he tries to stay out of politics and out of the spotlight.
"I've got a wife and three kids," he said.
Rehlen praised Goyette.
"I like Heath, and I think he's doing a great job," Rehlen said. "He has really kept (the fire department) on a high plane."
Both men say working together for the good of the town should be the goal.
"What the town really needs is working together to get something done, not beating on each other," Goyette said.

By David Irvin: CNJ staff writer
On a quiet day in eastern New Mexico, Nov. 30, 1944, a train of 81 cars was traveling west out of Clovis. One of the crew members had detected a hot box under a fuel oil tanker car and the engineer was slowing the train to a stop west of Melrose in the Village of Tolar.
As the train was slowing, the fuel oil tanker broke off and jumped track along with 36 other cars, starting a fire that spread quickly though the wooden box cars. Somewhere on that train was a car full of bombs heading for military operations in World War II.
The scene was set for disaster.
Before the end of the day, much of Tolar would be destroyed by the tremendous munitions blasts. One man died, and panic permeated the area on suspicions the Japanese had sabotaged the train.
• The events
Editor's note: The following events are compiled from newspaper accounts from the Amarillo Daily News and the Clovis News Journal and interviews with area residents who had relatives at the scene.
There were only six of the 30 Tolar residents in town that day. Most had gone to do errands out of town and the children were at school in Taiban.
Jess Brown had been shopping about 50 yards from the train wreck when it exploded. He was struck in the head by a piece of iron shrapnel and died about an hour later.
His son, Melvin Brown, is one of the four or five people still living in Tolar today. He was at school with the other children in Taiban when the bombs went off. Even though he was only 8 the day his father died, he still remembers the details.
"We handled it the best we could," he said.
Melvin Brown said he still lives in the house his father built in 1942. The day his father died, a train axle flung by the blast crashed through the family house.
He said there was an exodus from Tolar following the explosion, and many residents moved to Melrose or Clovis. But Melvin Brown's family remained in Tolar because his mother had a job driving the school bus to Taiban.
Also at the scene that day was a Clovis railroad conductor named Darry Winn. His grandson Dennis Winn said the first generation Clovis railroader found a phone and called the dispatch in Clovis, asking for another engine to be sent to pull the cars at the train's rear away from the wreckage.
The fuel car was burning now, and Darry Winn knew bombs were on board. He just didn't know where they were, his grandson said.
The old wooden boxcars ignited quickly, Darry Winn recalled in a 1965 interview with the Amarillo Daily News. In one of the wrecked cars, beer bottles were exploding from the heat of the fire.
The fire reached the bombs as Darry Winn was walking along the side of the train, and a tremendous explosion blew the entire scene to smithereens, shooting debris high into the air, breaking windows and caving in the roofs of nearby homes.
A train inventory later showed 165, 500-pound bombs had been on the train, bound for the Pacific theater. Around 46 tons of high explosives went off 100 yards from the center of Tolar.
The blast knocked Darry Winn off his feet and threw him under one of the cars. When the explosion happened, the conductor was only three cars away from the bombs, his grandson said, and was very lucky to be alive.
Almost every house or building in town was either destroyed or damaged substantially. One resident had to jump out of her store as a 1,500-pound axle hurtled toward her, crashing through the roof of her store and out the back.
Dennis Winn, a railroader himself, recalls what his grandfather said about the amazing explosion rising in the sky. One car destroyed was carrying mattresses bound for California.
"He said it just looked like fireworks," Dennis Winn said. "Those feathers, when it blow'd up, they just caught on fire and tricklin' down."
In the 1965 interview, Darry Winn said "The pieces looked to be several hundred feet up in the sky. Each piece was floating straight down and smoking. They looked like little stars on fire."
As far away as Hereford, Texas, some say they heard the explosion. A motorist on U.S. 60-84 had all four tires blown out when the shock wave hit him driving on the highway. There were reports of dishes rattling 52 miles away in Farwell.
Clovis' Johnny Eastwood said his parents were in Tolar the day of the blast.
"The town practically vanished in that period," he said.
• The speculation
The story appearing in the Dec. 1, 1944, edition of the Clovis News Journal ran alongside a story entitled, "Seventh Japanese Convoy Destroyed." Even though most of Tolar was wiped out in the disaster, the main headline on the paper that day was "Gains Are Made by Three American Armies."
World War II was on, and the bloodiest sieges of the war were taking place. The article appearing in the News Journal the day after the explosion was laden with military imagery.
Journalist Alabam Sumner led with the line, "Indirectly bringing the war into our own front yards, so to speak, the catastrophic fire and subsequent explosions on the Santa Fe tracks at Tolar Thursday gave folks a small idea of what the majority of the world's nations are now undergoing as an outcome of this, the second World War."
Some residents of Melrose believed the explosion was the result of a Japanese raid on the air base outside of Clovis, according to the Amarillo Daily News.
Responding to the general paranoia, Sumner wrote, "Tolar was not a target of an enemy bomber … This is only a small portion of damage in the eyes of people who have undergone bombings for years."
It may not have been as catastrophic as Tokyo or Dresden, but Tolar wasn't a target, either.
Government authorities started thinking the train may have been sabotaged by someone who didn't want the bombs to get out to the Pacific. They began questioning those at the scene, including Darry Winn.
Eastwood recalls the short period of speculation that followed the explosion.
"There was some caution about that. They ruled that out totally, it was a hot box," Eastwood said. "I think that was just medium talk the first day."
The government didn't give up the investigation too quickly, however.
Even into the 1960s, Darry Winn had to deal with occasional inquiries by federal law enforcement, his grandson said. Even though he was cleared of any wrongdoing by the railroad and by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, over the years Darry Winn was questioned at least five times by federal agents about the cause of the explosion, his grandson said.
"I was still in (Viet)nam, but when I come back he told me they asked him about it (again)," Dennis Winn said.
Darry Winn was born in 1900 and he began working for the railroad in 1922, his grandson said. He died in 1986, and even in his later years he talked about the explosion in Tolar that nearly took his life.
As a child, Dennis Winn would listen to his grandfather tell stories about the explosion under a tree at the old family house on the south side of Clovis.
"He just laughed about it," Dennis Winn said, "how he was lucky to walk away from it."

Jerusalem and Tel Aviv were both attacked Friday but the rockets fired from Gaza fell short of their targets. Meanwhile, the Israeli army is arriving on the border with Gaza, ready for the order to invade. NBC's Martin Fletcher reports.
Updated at 2:15 p.m. ET: On the third day of escalating violence between Israel and Gaza, air raid sirens cried out in Israel's two largest cities, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, as residents moved into underground shelters, NBC reporters on the scene said.
At least one rocket fired from Gaza toward Jerusalem landed outside the city, which is more than 60 miles from the Gaza Strip, according to NBC's Martin Fletcher. There were no injuries or damage. This was the first Palestinian rocket to reach the vicinity of Jerusalem since 1970.
Earlier, at least one rocket fired toward coastal Tel Aviv fell into the sea.
Despite the promise of ceasefire , another day of missiles dead and wounded in the Israeli Gaza conflict. NBC's John Ray reports.
Wake-up call for Israel's city that never sleeps
"The rocket landed off the shores of Tel Aviv," a police spokesman told Reuters. This was the second attack on Tel Aviv in as many days, with rockets nearly hitting the city on Thursday.
The attacks, which Israel considers to be a major escalation, could lead to an Israeli ground invasion of Gaza.
Israel's military is considering waging a ground campaign. It started drafting 16,000 reserve troops on Friday, as Israel's cabinet authorized the mobilization of up to 75,000 reservists. Troops are massing on the border, and witnesses said they could see Israeli ships off Gaza's coast, NBC News' Ayman Mohyeldin reported.
The rocket attacks came just hours after Egypt's prime minister visited the Gaza Strip to show support for Palestinians amid a cross-border conflict with Hamas militants that risks spiraling into an all-out war.
"Egypt will spare no effort ... to stop the aggression and to achieve a truce," Prime Minister Hesham Kandil said.
"Palestine is the heart of the Arab and Muslim world and the body is not healthy while the heart is sick," he added.
The Palestinian enclave of Gaza was attacked Friday, where the Interior Ministry took direct hits and civilians died. NBC's Richard Engel reports.
Kandil held the bloodied body of a child at a hospital before leaving the Gaza Strip.
But even as Kandil made his three-hour visit to the coastal enclave, a temporary cease-fire declared by Israel at Egypt's request collapsed, with both sides accusing the other of violating it.
NBC's Ayman Mohyeldin answers questions about the Israel-Gaza conflict
At least 19 Palestinians, including seven militants and 12 civilians, among them six children and a pregnant woman, have been killed in Israeli airstrikes. A Hamas rocket killed three Israelis in the town of Kiryat Malachi on Thursday.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he is prepared to "take whatever action is necessary," but Israel has also expressed a strong desire to preserve its peace with the new Egyptian leadership.
Overnight, the military said it targeted about 150 of the sites Gaza gunmen use to fire rockets at Israel, as well as ammunition warehouses, bringing to 450 the number of sites struck since the operation began Wednesday.
The new propaganda: Israel, Hamas take war to Twitter in Gaza conflict
Hamas chief killed
The latest upsurge of violence in the long-running conflict began Wednesday when Israel killed Hamas' military mastermind, Ahmed Jabari, in a precision airstrike on his car. Israel then began shelling Gaza from land, air and sea.
Israel says its offensive was in response to increasing missile salvos from Gaza. Its bombing has not yet reached the saturation level seen before it last invaded Gaza in 2008, but Israeli officials have said a ground assault remains possible.
"We are going to continue hitting Hamas hard and we will continue to strike hard at the missiles targeted at Central and South Israel," Netanyahu wrote Friday on Twitter.
An Israeli ground offensive could be costly to both sides. In the last Gaza war, Israel devastated parts of the territory, setting back Hamas' fighting capabilities. But Israel also payed the price of increasing diplomatic isolation because of a civilian death toll numbering in the hundreds.
This week's fighting has widened the instability gripping the region, further straining Israel-Egypt relations.

In the June 14-20 issue of The River Reporter, Tom Shepstone questioned whether the Park Foundation's 501(c)(3) status disallowed it from having a say in the fracking debate. I can't speak to that legal point. But the intent of his op-ed piece was clear: "I have no particular sympathy for others who make or have made their living elsewhere and profess to be the conscience of our area." He goes on to say that his family goes back to the 1700s and he doesn't need outside organizations "to tell us how to either develop or protect our natural resources… Ultimately, that's what it's all about, isn't it? Who decides?"
I think he's on to something in that conclusion. But first, I'm troubled by his use of the word "conscience." After all, the motivation of the pro-frackers is money. All their other arguments are self-justification. It's about the money the gas companies are offering, or it's not about anything. So getting to the high moral ground for Mr. Shepstone is a steep climb. As to who has been here longest: it's the Mohicans.
So who decides? In a 2011 survey by Pulse Opinion Research of 500 Sullivan County adults who say they know enough about fracking to form an opinion, 69% said they do not support "Natural Gas Extraction by Fracking," 27% said they do support it and 4% were not sure.
In another 2011 survey, this one conducted by the Survey Research Institute at Cornell University (https://sri.cornell.edu/sri/esp.reports.cfm [1]), respondents were asked to choose between risks and revenue. Of "Upstate New Yorkers:" 20% said they didn't know enough to choose, 30% chose "revenues outweigh risks," and 50% chose "Risks outweigh revenues."
Who decides? According to Mr. Shepstone it's the minority.

You may be able to remove some transistors, flash it with the right firmware, and then replace those transistors. But wait for junsi to let you know.
I have about 20 of these power supplies, but have only tested it with two that were wired by JRPlanes. (I bought the others because they were so cheap, but don't have the time to wire them--just plan to do it for people at the field as the need arises.).
I rarely charge at 30 amps due to the problem, but I do at 24 amps, and have no problem here, even though the PS voltage out is 25.1 volts, and the chargers still has to go from buck to boost.
There could be differences between the 3010b and 306b. The inductance between the two power supplies could be too low.
I don't know about chargers, but in general designing a DC power supply circuit that seamlessly transitions with near optimal transient response from buck to boost at high current, and testing to verify that circuit, isn't easy. You have to do it with intetion. And then there are other factors, such as what line regulation do you require on the input side, inductance on supply lines, etc.
The other person had a control error problem with a 208B, and switching to a Pb battery for input voltage made his problem go away.
Last edited by 7oneWo1f; Jul 18, 2012 at 04:08 PM. Reason: grammar
I have used various supplies and the DPS-600PB's were amongst them. All were wired by myself and none have ever exhibited issue.
Agree that there will always be some interesting phenomena occurring during buck-boost transition but none of these should result in the charger shutting down with a control error. If it were normal to throw a control error during a 30A, 6S lipoly charge when powered by ~25V supply, Junsi would be barraged with demands to fix this.
My suspicion is that there is either an issue with one or both of your supplies and it is having difficulty with regulation at the higher current needed for the 30A charge, or you have an isolated glitch with your particular 3010B that Junsi should be able to address.
I don't know about the barrage. Might not be a lot of people charging 6S at 30 amps from converted power supplies, and out of those, not a lot of them would know where to look or what to suspect.
Also, I am familiar with how firmware engineers write firmware, and not a lot of them can justify every line of code they write, or have the luxury of doing the kind of testing you would be required to do if you were designing avionics or pace makers. Sometimes, they take a stab, plan to revisit, get pressured to release, have no problems during non-exhaustive testing, and so on. It is one of the reasons why so many products require firmware updates, and why so many products have latent bugs.
That being said, I do recommend iCharger chargers. I think they are excellent value and excellent performance, and they have provided me technical support that goes beyond anything I've ever seen. If they pay for shipping to and from, I could arrange to send my power supply to them if they wanted to use it for testing, but there are AC source voltage differences that might complicate analysis. And, besides, I haven't ruled out the power supply. I'm not sure what the iChargers require for input voltage regulation anyway. I do run my power supplies on a dedicated 20 amp AC circuit that I wired myself back to the circuit breaker, before I sheet rocked my garage.
any chance of a new feature?
im trying to charge 8.4v and 9.6v pp3 nimh battries. on the first one ive tried, the 9.6v, on nimh auto at a charge rate of 50ma, the voltage rises to about 24v and my psu cuts out. the charger works fine on a 7.2v race pack i have.
so im guessing this problem needs to be fixed by maybe adding a pp3 charging feature into the firmware. it would be very useful for me to have this feature. does anyone else see this as being worth having?
Try lowering the charge current. Small 9V batteries can have extremely high internal resistance and voltage can shoot up quite dramatically when charge current is applied, as you have witnessed. Ensuring integrity of all connections and lowering charge current should correct this.
iCharger 208B Err: FLASH Memory
What do you mean by "flashing it with the right firmware" ? My unit has never run correctly nor charged, ever since I received it yesterday.
I flashed it with the four latest firmwares (for the 208B) to test it but without luck, it always gives me the same error message. The only difference being, firmware 3.10~3.13 let's me navigate through the menu and options but gives me the "ERR:FLASH Memory" when it boots up and when trying to start charging, while it reboots every 2-3 seconds and hangs completely with firmware 3.14.
Replacing transistors wouldn't be a problem. I have the gear and experience for it.
But first I have to know what is causing this problem. I'm really annoyed with this "ERR:FLASH Memory" message.
I've openend it now and I have to say the PCB doesn't really look like the pictures on SteveM732 [swm1.com] review of the 208B.
=> All the vias are on the board now (no more surface mounted wires), the solderings look neat and clean. It passed visual inspection with my magnifying glasses and multimeter signal test for the most critical connections.
This makes me angrier as I know this is a revised version (v5.1 it seems) and I'm just out of luck.
Ah, I thought you flashed it with the wrong firmware. I misunderstood.
Connection lipos to paraboard 101 query
These 2S 7.4V 1000mah lipos charge via the XH balance lead only on the stock Walkera charger (JST not connected -- also the same applies to the 3S TX battery)
If I have a 306B with an XH / XT60 paraboard, can I just plug in the balance leads only of these 2S cells and get proper balance charges on them? Or using the 306B will I have to plug in those JST leads also?
Likewise with these 3S 11.1V 850mah lipos They have the same type of leads as the Walkera 3S TX lipo mentioned above that charges via the XH lead only.
With these 850 3S lipos, can I charge them OK on the 306B using only the XH balance connectors on the XH / XT60 balance board? Or will the JST plugs have to be plugged in to the 306B?
I don't see a JST paraboard at EPBuddy (I'd like to use the XH / XT60 paraboard anyway as it serves my main purpose)..
I've seen connectors that adapt JST to XT60. Looks like these might work if the JST on the above described batteries must be plugged into the 306B paraboard. I'm trying to figure out what accessories to buy along with the 306B.
I'm brand new to this field -- thanks for your patience and assistance.

I've no objection to eating horse meat. I'm old enough to remember there being a horse meat butchers on Kirkgate in Leeds. What I object to that they passed this stuff off as beef. What else is in meat ready meals that we don't know about. There was an item the other week saying that in the future we'll all have to get our protein from insects. How do we know we aren't already?
Interesting. Was it an "ethnic thing" or did the average Loiner eat horse meat?

Fantasy Guru Daily: 6/29/11
Even though labor negotiations appear to be in the final stages, players are not taking anything for granted and have continued workouts. It might be fun to discuss the rumors of player movement, but our only real source of concrete information comes from the practices being held at high schools and colleges across the country featuring your favorite NFL players (and a bunch of guys you've never heard of).
Good news, bad news at Camp Alex II … Alex Smith, who despite being unsigned, is running his second set of workouts for the 49ers this week. Rookie QB Colin Kaepernick decided to skip the NFLPA rookie symposium in favor of these workouts after being unable to do much work on the field during the last set while recovering from surgery he had early last month. Kaepernick admitted he needed to get his timing down, but felt good. Starting LT Joe Staley doesn't think Kaepernick comes across as a rookie and his play in practice has already excited the team. Now, the bad news. WR Michael Crabtree, who missed time at [...]

Martha Schwartz on the value of incorporating cultural ideas into the urban landscape — and why the U.S. is lagging behind.
Most of our urban environments are not our parks — they are our streets, our sidewalks."people are on streets every day. Jan Gehl, a great urbanist from Copenhagen, has promoted the use of streets and the awareness that these are our major public spaces. But they don't just function to beautify. He convinced the city that if they invested in bike lanes the cost of healthcare in general for the population would go down. And that's exactly what's happened.
If you don't really understand people's cultural values, you'll get it wrong."understand people's cultural values, you'll get it wrong. Even to the point where color is very specific to cultures and what they mean. What kinds of shapes and forms they're comfortable with, what they don't like. How you actually translate your ideas, how you get their input. All of this actually is more important than the technologies. The technologies have to function. But the technologies alone don't actually create value for a space. And if people don't value it, then it will be wasted. It won't be maintained. People won't use it. It'll go away.
The most benefit we can create as landscape architects is to encourage people back to cities."people are in street environments that are more conducive to street life. These are all really important environmental issues.
How do we deploy the landscape to protect cities and then to rebuild in a way that the city can function as a good place to live?"have been a remarkable piece of engineering. It would have only used gray water. The water was completely captured and cleaned and re-circulated. You know, you can process [waste] water from the buildings. We always do that. You can capture water from roofs. You can capture water from the streets, from parking lots. You can use the landscape to clean it, recirculate it.

Attacks show need to address mental illness
While President Barack Obama and most members of Congress have focused on gun control since the school massacre in Newtown, Conn., not much has been said about getting to the root causes of such horror – insanity and the evil that sometimes drives it.
On April 15, Americans were reminded forcefully of the need to refocus the national debate. Bombs were exploded during the Boston Marathon, killing three people and wounding more than 170 others. Police said two young men, ethnic Chechnyans from Russia, committed the horrific act. Both had lived in the United States for nearly a decade.
Last Thursday, before that was known, Rep. David McKinley, R-W.Va., and Rep. Marcy Kaptur, D-Ohio, introduced an important – nay, a critical – bill in the House of Representatives.
McKinley and Kaptur are calling for a comprehensive study of mental health care in the United States.
"With the recent violent acts perpetrated by individuals suffering from mental illness, it is becoming ever more apparent that Americans struggling with mental illness are falling through the cracks," McKinley said.
A clear link exists between mental illness and many mass murders. Adam Lanza, the young man who massacred children and educators in Newtown, was known to have had mental health problems.
But what of the Boston murderers?
Something instilled a viciousness beyond most of our imaginations in them. One of the killers was videotaped placing a bomb beside the 8-year-old child who was one of three people killed in the blasts.
It may be the killers, in their own minds, thought their act was justified for religious and/or political reasons.
But most acts of terrorism are not committed by leaders, but instead by followers. What is it about some people that makes them engage in brutality at the behest, either overtly or perhaps only imagined, of others?
This is not a philosophical question. Again, anyone capable of doing what the Boston bombers did is mentally ill, by the yardstick nearly all of us employ.
So McKinley and Kaptur are right: We Americans need to take a hard, impartial and comprehensive look at mental illness, including how we identify it and how we treat it. Answers we may be able to find there will save more lives than new controls on firearms.
The House and Senate should approve the McKinley-Kaptur bill immediately.

SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY — "The past is history, the future a mystery and the present is a gift," goes the adage. For teams that experienced varying degrees of success as well as for those that never won a game, this year's mission is to be markedly more successful. Making it to the postseason is the goal for established programs, while learning the basics and improving from game to game is uppermost for those who have had little or no prior success.
Locally in football, an interesting clash was shaping up prior to this past weekend between neighboring Class D Eldred and Class C Sullivan West. Both teams came in at 2-0. Eldred had dominated Livingston Manor and Fallsburg, scoring nearly 100 points in the process while allowing none. Traveling to Sullivan West on September 14, the Yellow Jackets and their coach Patrick Kean figured to have their first real acid test. They hoped to knock off the Bulldogs en route to returning the program to its former dominance, which has abated over the past few years.
The Bulldogs, who had beaten stronger foes in Chester and Liberty, had ideas of their own, namely to remain undefeated and to school the Yellow Jackets in the rigors of hard-nose football. This was far from the clash of the titans. Sullivan West trounced Eldred 56-6 to improve to 3-0.
From the opening kickoff, wherein Eldred fumbled the ball thereby setting up Jared Meola's 17-yard TD run a minute into the game, followed by Michael Sedlack's PAT, Eldred missed some early chances and then played back on its heels to the rapacious Dawgs, who scored on them seemingly at will. The Westies put the kibosh on Eldred QB Anthony Margarum, who has a great arm but was harried, rushed and sacked, eventually giving way to his younger replacement, Hunter Kolvenbach. Meanwhile, Sullivan West senior QB Sawyer Erwein would score two rushing TDs, while passing for two more scores. The Bulldogs held a 13-0 lead by the end of the first quarter. Andrew Stabbert's five-yard TD pass reception opened the second quarter. A conversion pass to Cody Franskevicz for made it 21-0. A 34-yard screen pass to Brian Stauch widened the margin to 27-0. Forcing a safety netted two more points and set up a short field for Erlwein, who raced 20 yards to the house. Sedlack added the PAT. Meola returned a kickoff 45 yards for another score and Sedlack split the uprights again. Travis Roeder would race 24 yards and Sedlack rounded the score to 50-0 before Eldred's Julian Gottlieb raced 37 yards against the back up Dawgs. Stabbert's two-yard run ended the rout at 56-6.
On September 21, Sullivan West hosts Fallsburg, which won its first game in the three-year history of the program by downing winless Livingston Manor 52-6. That will be the Westies' first league game of the season.
Eldred travels to Tri-Valley, which won its first game of the season by downing Pine Plains 54-27 in a league tilt. After losing to O'Neill and Millbrook, the hungry Bears dominated the short-handed Bombers with TDs on their first two plays from scrimmage, including a 42-yard option pass from Justin Swarthout to Cody Exner, who then added a 34-yard gallop. Sophomore kicker Zach Nilsen would go six for eight in PATs on the day. Senior quarterback Shatik Smith scored on a 42-yard run as T-V led 20-0 at the end of the first quarter. Smith added two more rushing strikes of 12 and 37 yards to stake T-V to a 33-6 lead at the half. Exner got his second rushing TD, this one of 18-yards and Brendan Tierney raced 57 yards for another strike. Jared James returned a kickoff 85 yards for the 1-2 (1-1 Class C) Bears' final tally. Pine Plains fell to 0-3 (0-1 Class C).
In cross-country, Sullivan West's Reed Scott prevailed over runners from Eldred, Liberty, Monticello and Family in a meet on the Liberty loop on September in 16:52 ahead of Monticello's Joe Klein (17:36), Liberty's Luis Campos (18:16) and Eldred's David Powers (18:37). Eldred's Alex Campanella did not run. He was returning from a college visit to DePaul University. In the girls race, Monticello's Camryn Johnson (20:06) edged her sister Sydney (20:23), Sullivan West's Corrine VanWagner (20:45) and Kelsey Dutton (21:01). The teams will vie again this week at Liberty where they will wrangle with Tri-Valley as well.

Laurier alum named Bank of Canada senior deputy governor
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Apr 17/14
Laurier alumna Carolyn Wilkins (BA 87) was recently appointed senior deputy governor of the Bank of Canada, becoming the first woman to hold the position. Wilkins will be the banks second-highest ranking official, serving under Governor Stephen Poloz.
A native of Peterborough, Wilkins graduated from Laurier with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics, going on to earn an MA in Economics from the University of Western Ontario. Wilkins currently sits on the Ottawa Deans Advisory Council for Lauriers School of Business and Economics.
Since joining the Bank of Canada in 2001, Wilkins has held several senior positions, working in the monetary and financial modelling division of the former Monetary and Financial Analysis Department, eventually serving as deputy chief of the Financial Markets Department. In 2011, she became chief of the banks Financial Stability Department, before being appointed as a special adviser, focusing on the Canadian economy, to Poloz last year.
As senior deputy governor, Wilkins will be in charge of the banks strategic planning and operations and will also join its governing council which deals with monetary policy such as setting interest rates and board of directors.
Wilkins will start her seven-year term as senior deputy governor May 2.
